Escape from the Wolves After losing a 5-point lead in 9.6 seconds, Duke wins 92-88 in OT By ANDREA BOOKMAN The Chronicle

It took a timeout that wasn’t and an extra five minutes, but Duke’s record-tying win streak of 27 regular season ACC games is intact. The fifthranked Blue Devils (14-2, 5-0) survived’some controversial calls and a key turnover to hold off N.C. State

(12-3, 3-2), 92-88, last night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. With 9.6 seconds left in regulation, no one expected the game to go to overtime. The Wolfpack’s Justin Gainey had slipped with the ball moments earlier and called a timeout to avoid being whistled for a travel. It was a timeout N.C. State did not have. And as the Wolfpack saw visions of Michigan’s Chris Webber calling a phantom timeout in the 1993

NCAA final, N.C. State received a technical foul. “In that situation, you don’t have a lot of options,” said N.C. State coach Herb Sendek. “Your instincts take over. We as coaches should have done a better job in the huddle of letting the guys know we were out of timeouts.” Shane Battier hit the two free throws to give Duke a three-point lead. N.C. State fouled Mike Dunleavy, who made two more foul shots to put the Blue Devils up by five. But as the Cameron Crazies prepared to storm the court, the Wolfpack quietly kept playing. With Duke concerned with guarding the three-point play and not fouling, Wolfpack guard Marshall Williams managed to drive the length of the floor and score an uncontested layup with 3.3 seconds left. All Duke needed to do was hold onto the ball and victory seemed cer-

Duke’s fund manager retires

By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

After 22 years of University service, Eugene McDonald, who guided Duke’s rise to financial prosperity as founder and president of the 10-year-old Duke Management Company, has decided to retire effective June 30. When McDonald helped start DUMAC in 1990 to manage the endow-

ment, pension funds and operating cash of the University, the fund comprised $948 million. With investment strategy and additions from fund raising, it is now worth $3.5 billion. McDonald first came to the University in 1977 as university counsel and vice president fbr government relations. Eight years later, he became executive vice president for administration. He has been an adviser to the past three University presidents and currently serves as executive vice president for

University considers adding top floor to Bryan Center By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

T HE CAVERNOUS

BRYAN CENTER may soon gain an extra floor and a revamped layout

Although budgetary and technological limitations have delayed administrators’ short-term plans for a better-looking and more convenient Bryan Center, their long-term ideas for a more space-efficient building are taking shape. Although Executive Vice President Tollman Trask described the center’s exterior as “hopeless” and “not fixable,” he said he is working with architects to find away to make more productive use of the space inside. Officials said that adding a glass-enclosed top level for student programming and offices could brighten the dim interior and free up lower levels for more

creative and efficient arrangements of activities. “It’s an attempt to respond to everything we’ve heard from everyone in the last three years,”

Trask said. Estimating that the project would cost between $4 million and $5 million, Trask said construction could begin as early as this summer. The Durham-based architectural firm Duda/Paine has already designed schematic models of the addition, but Trask has not yet asked for construction drawings. Architect Turan Duda said his firm is focusing on clarifying the building’s circulation, defining its orientation and lightening it up. Describing the current center See BRYAN CENTER on page 17

Clinton unveils massive health plan The $llO billion health care program would be the largest since By TERENCE HUNT Associated Press

WASHINGTON

President

Bill Clinton today proposed a $llO billion package of health insurance initiatives, which would be the biggest investment in health coverage since the establishment of Medicare in 1965. Clinton said it was “a very ambitious” proposal and that he was “quite hopeful” that Congress would enact his proposals during this election year. “I am elated that health care is an issue in the campaign,” the president said in an Oval Office

ceremony. “It is a good thing. It is an issue in people’s lives.” Clinton’s program faces a stiff test in Congress, where many of the same proposals died last year when he proposed even smaller versions, However, he said the budget prospect is brighter now with Republicans disavowing plans to re-

turn with another huge tax cut like the $792 billion version they passed—and he vetoed—last year. Thursday marks the beginning of the last year of Clinton’s presidency. ‘Tomorrow’s the day, isn’t it,”

he said. T will certainly mark the

day.” He said he wished he could go without sleep for the whole year. “I just want to milk every last second of it,” Clinton said, Clinton remarked on the huge sweep of his proposal. “If enacted, this would be the largest investment in health coverage since the establishment of Medicare in 1965, one of the most significant steps we could take to help working families,” the president said. More than 44 million Americans lack health insurance, Health insurance was Clinton’s See HEALTH CARE on page 9

Students shrug at 2000 campaign Many undergraduates said that they feel isolated from politics By CAROLINE WILSON The Chronicle

While one student had volumes to speak about the Democratic presidential candidates, another thought President Bill Clinton was running for a third term. With such a diverse

range of political awareness on one campus, just what can you call the overall political personality of Duke? “Fairly apathetic,” said Seth Benson, a Trinity junior and registered voter. “Being students at a private school, it’s so easy to be isolated from the rest of the community.” As the presidential primaries and caucuses begin rolling through the country and the headlines, students said they feel the Duke community has remained generally detached from the political world. Although many students questioned in an informal poll were aware of the major frontrunners and had a general understanding of their platforms, most said that Duke has a significantly less political atmosphere than other

universities. “This is definitely no Georgetown,” said Trinity junior Stephen Chin, explaining that students rarely discuss the presidential primaries like their counterparts on traditionally political campuses. “I’m 21 and I haven’t even registered to vote yet, if that shows how politically active I am.” Basil Enan, a Trinity freshman from Canada, however, thought the University was probably

much more active than many state schools. “As students at one of the top-tiered private schools, we are much more likely to be politically in-

volved,” he said.

Students feel generally unaffected by some of the major issues of campaign 2000, said Trinity sophomore Hope Gordon, who added that she thinks political apathy is not a “Dukespecific” problem. “I think [apathyl is a trend in college in general,” she said. “Our generation has the potential to be very politically active, but right now we don’t always have the right outlet in a universi-

ty environment.” Benson suggested that the lack of interest on campus may not necessarily be a product of student ignorance, but of the negative press and sensationalism that has surrounded Clinton’s term. “In this political atmosphere, it’s easy to be discouraged from being active,” he said. “It seems a lot [of students! are fed up and have ceased to care. I personally think they are more concerned

about going to classes and getting their work done.... Students are more interested in basketball right now.” Despite general student detachment, the University is not devoid of politically active or-

ganizations. Trinity senior John'Fred, president of College Republicans at Duke, said his group hopes to be able to spark more student interest in See CAMPAIGN on page 10 t

Advising system struggles as Curriculum 2000 nears By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

The fast-approaching Curriculum 2000 represents a trial by fire for an academic advising system that does not play a major role in most students’ lives. Most students interviewed said they find the advising system helpful to the extent that they use it which is usually little to none. “It’s OK, but it takes a lot of effort for students to make contact with their adviser,” said David Wang, a Trinity sophomore. Wang added that advisers rarely contact the students and that students often have to take the initiative. —

associate professor of physics. “But if they’re having problems with the classes they are taking, generally they blame us.” Although students seemed to respect their individual advisers, many said they did not think the system had a significant impact on their academic decisions. “Nice guy,” Pratt freshman Samer Melhem said when asked about his adviser. “He’s just a nice old man. He doesn’t help too much.... He doesn’t have that much information. If I ask him a question, he’d have to look it up and get back to me.” Few pre-major students said they had met more See ADVISING on page 11

“You are sort ofreliant on the students seeking you out,” said pre-major adviser Dalene Stangl, an assistant professor in the Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences. “It’s sort of a fine line, because you want students to take as much responsibility as they want... You want to assume that they are responsible adults and will come for help if they need it.” Some advisers said outside factors tended to determine students’ attitudes toward the academic advising center. “If they are happy with the school, if their classes are going well, then generally they think we’re doing a pretty good job,” said Seog Oh, a pre-major adviser and

Russian legislators protest Communist-Putin alliance in Duma By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

MOSCOW Opposition legislators, fearing they’ve been shut out by a deal between acting President Vladimir Putin’s supporters and the Communists, boycotted the new parliament for a second day Wednesday. The chamber’s speaker urged them to return to work to tackle Russia’s problems. “Sabotage must be avoided,” said Gennady Seleznyov, speaker of the State Duma, the lower house of parliament. “We must work constructively with all factions and deputy groups.” About 100 lawmakers walked out of the parliament’s first session Tuesday after the Communists and the pro-Putin Unity group formed an alliance to pick Seleznyov, a Communist who was speaker in the previous Duma. They also were enraged by the two biggest

Northeast states push Congress to limit gasoline additive By JOSEF HEBERT Associated Press

WASHINGTON Eight Northeastern states stepped up pressure Wednesday for Congress to give them greater authority to regulate a gasoline additive that helps clean the air but is posing a threat to lakes, steams and drinking water. The air pollution control officials from the eight states from New York to Maine urged Congress, when it reconvenes next week, to move aggressively to lift a requirement for specific oxygen levels in gasoline and allow states more leeway to regulate MTBE, the oxygen additive now widely used. MTBE, or methyl tertiary butyl ether, was the additive of choice for the petroleum industry as it

sought to comply with federal requirements to have at last 2 percent oxygen in gasoline in areas with major air pollution problems. The so-called reformulated gasoline, which includes MTBE, is used in all or part of 16 states and accounts for a third ofthe gasoline sold in the country, including much of the gasoline sold in the Northeast. Its use reduces releases of smog-causing and toxic chemicals into the air from automobile tailpipes. But last summer, the Environmental Protection Agency in a major reversal of environmental policy, urged that MTBE use be sharply curtailed because of worries that it is polluting waterways and aquifers used for drinking water. Some levels of water contamination have been de-

tected in most states. A blue-ribbon advisory panel said that while current levels of MTBE in water do not pose a health risk, the government should abandon its widespread use of the additive to prevent a potential environmental problem. But since the report was issued, Congress has not addressed the issue, leaving states “in the unacceptable position of being unable to respond to a serious public concern,” said Jason Grumet, executive director of the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management, The group, based in Boston, represents the eight states’ air pollution control administrators. The group said only congressional action “can provide an adequate solution to concerns over current levels of MTBE use.”

signature issue when he won the presidency in 1992, but Congress ignored his sweeping proposal for universal health coverage. He has made headway on sevexpansion of eral fronts including a major insurance for children through Medicaid and the state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The major element of Clinton’s new program is a proposal to build on the CHIP initiative by providing coverage for parents of children in the CHIP. The White House said the measure would provide coverage for about 4 million uninsured parents at a cost of $76 billion over 10 years. The president also urged accelerat-

ing the enrollment of uninsured children in Medicaid and CHIP, adding 400,000 children at a cost of $5.5 billion over 10 years. While enrollment in CHIP doubled to 2 million children in

1999, millions remain eligible but unenrolled, the White House said. Another major component would provide tax breaks to help 2 million Americans struggling to provide long-term care for elderly or disabled relatives. Last year Congress approved a 100 percent deduction for long-term care premiums but it was part of the $792 billion tax-cut bill that the president vetoed. Another proposal would resurrect Clinton’s plan to allow workers as young as 55 to buy into the Medicare program. Congress ignored the proposal last year. This time, Clinton would make the proposal even more attractive for workers and more costly for the government—by offering a 25 percent tax credit for participants in the Medicare buy-in. The proposal is intended to help the baby-boom generation as it nears retirement. The percentage of uninsured is growing fastest among people ages 55 to 65; even more growth is expected. The cost of the buy-in and credit over 10 years would be about $5.4 billion. The president also proposed aid to help workers to buy COBRA health in—

surance when they leave a job. The program allows workers to buy into their employer’s health plan for up to 18 to 36 months, provided they pay the premium. However, fewer than 25 percent of eligible people buy the coverage, in part because of the cost, the White House said. Clinton’s initiative would offer a 25 percent tax credit for COBRA premiums to make the cost more affordable. Other provisions of Clinton’s initia-

tive would: •Give a 20 percent tax credit to small businesses to buy health insurance through purchasing coalitions. The initiative would be limited to companies that have not previously offered health insurance to employees. Expand state options to insure children through age 20. •Extend Medicaid coverage for people who leave welfare rolls to take a job. •Expand state options to provide insurance for legal immigrants. •Allocate at least $1 billion over 10 years to help public hospitals, clinics and thousands of health care providers give health care to the uninsured. In his final budget proposal, Clinton will triple the size of last year’s initiative. It would cost $2B billion over 10 years, providing up to $3,000 in tax credits for eligible families. The White House is betting that an election-minded Congress will be more receptive to the idea now as the baby boom generation nears retirement. White House officials refused to say how Clinton would pay for his costly initiatives. White House press secretary Joe Lockhart said the administration would not release details until the president’s budget is unveiled Feb. 7. But the proposal likely will be drawn into the battle over how to spend a huge projected budget surplus. The president also will propose spending $1.25 billion over 10 years for local agencies that support family caregivers with counseling, training and •

both state issues and the national primaries. “It’s hard for people at Duke to foster interest.... The economy’s good, nothing’s really out of the ordinary...,” he said. “Participation is sparked by a belief in a wrong, and I think people don’t have that now.” The organization hopes to organize rallies, draft petitions and facilitate student voting and registration opportunities by offering buses between voting booths and campus for the May 2 North Carolina primary. Fred said he would like to foster interest by holding an end-of-semester debate attended by one of the leading candidates. The Duke Democrats are planning another voter registration campaign and they will continue discussions of major issues and candidates among themselves over dinner, said Trinity junior and Duke Dems secre-

tary Craig Chepke. Many students said that with their constantly hectic lifestyles, it can be hard to obtain consistent political information on campus. “You never really sit down and turn on the news,” Gordon said.

Jared Weinstein, a Trinity sophomore and registered Republican, said students may be detached from politics because the issues discussed in

Campaign 2000 afe not aimed at their age group. “Candidates are not showing interest in issues that apply to Duke students. The campaign is geared more toward the baby boomers rather than our generation,” he, said, citing major issues such as health care and Social Security. He added that higher education is noticeably absent from any front-runner’s platform. However, students like Trinity sophomore Antonio Reynolds said they believe that some of the issues currently discussed in the primaries are indeed relevant, as most will be graduating and entering the work force during the next president’s term in office. “I am personally looking for the candidate that will most relate to me as a college student,” he said. “I am very interested in the economy and I have to think about things like interest rates because I will be graduating under this president and I have to think about paying off my [college] loans.” Weinstein also pointed out that most students are registered to vote in states other than North Carolina, and that the hassle of obtaining and filling out an absentee ballot can discourage anyone from voting in the 2000 election.

He added that the system would be improved if advisers were more accessible, perhaps available for lunch occasionally. Tracey Lesetar, a Trinity sophomore, said she thought the system was especially weak in dealing

with double majors like her. “When you put down a double major, they don’t tell you that you should prioritize it,” she said. “I tried to seek a political science adviser, but they wouldn’t let me.... The lady in charge got very, very ticked off.” Often when faculty are unable to provide meaningful advice, it is because they are interested in vastly different fields than their advisees. Norman Keul, director of the Pre-Major Advising Center, explained that a shortage offaculty members in certain departments makes it very difficult to assign all students to advisers in their intended major. “We have two economics advisers,” he said. “That’s a huge department, and yet we have so few people.” Keul added that when his department reviewed the surveys students complete after they declare a major, “about one-third of the students said they were not well matched by interest [with their adviserl. But twothirds of [those studentsl did not think it mattered.” Part of the difficulty involved in recruiting qualified advisers is the large time commitment and low compensation, about $750. Stangl said she wished she could advise fewer students, so she could more easily juggle her other commitments, such as teaching and research. “The compensation for [being an adviser! is so very low relative to the time you put into it,” she said. “It’s less than

And that’s a large percentage.” Because most advisers say they already find the job very time-consuming, recruiting and training qualified advisers will become an even more daunting task as the curriculum becomes more complex. Several advisers said they will need to spend even more of their valuable time studying and reading about the new curriculum. Nonetheless, students are already enrolled for the class of 2004. There will be plenty of guinea pigs.

Idle worship Martin Luther King Jr. Day should be an opportunity to reassess race relations and rediscover the challenges of his legacy

Martin

Luther King Jr. is a man worthy of our near-boundless praise. More than any other American of the 20th century, he reenvisioned and reconfigured the social, political and moral landscape of this country. One could say, in fact, that he saved all our souls. And yet much ofthis revolutionary vision is lost when the national trend makes King nothing more than the image on a Hallmark card, an innocuous icon of the entire civil rights movement. And even more is lost when Martin Luther King Jr. Day becomes nothing more than an opportunity for idol worship. Surely the day is one for celebration, but it must also be one of challenge. Of course it is a time to celebrate King’s life and the many civil rights victories he helped spearhead, but it must also be a time to rediscover the many profoundly important challenges we continue to face. Any attempt to mark MLK Day, then, must strive to strike the appropriate balance between the two halves of this holiday. Professor of History Charles Payne served as a powerful reminder of this tenuous balance when, immediately following the keynote speech by Georgia Congressman John Lewis, he took to the Chapel podium and challenged the audience to recognize the more radical aspects of the civil rights movement—particularly its demands for economic justice. He was a necessary counterpoint to Lewis who, though inspirational and moving, chose to focus on his personal role in the movement and his intensely personal relationship with King himself. King is indeed the “prophet, spiritual leader and hero” Lewis described, but the King holiday must be about so much more. It must be a time to reflect on how far this movement has brought us, and to ponder the long, winding road ahead. It must be a time to consider the role race continues to play in American society, and to grapple with the realization that the bitter fruit of racism continues to poison the American Dream. The call for reflection must be accompanied by an even more urgent call to action. Attempts to repoliticize King’s holiday could certainly curtail some of its mainstream marketability. The end of racism is a highly generalized goal that goes down easy, while the economic aspects of racial justice stick in the throats of more conservative Americans. But to ignore the fact that true equality demands attention to labor rights, livable wages, public school funding and affirmative action policies is to disembowel King’s dream. At the University, the holiday is being marked with a week-long sei ies of events including a Yam Jam for hunger and countless panels and speeches that raise pressing issues and recognize the complexity of King’s legacy. As members ofthis university community, we should emerge from this week with a deeper appreciation of King and a deeper understanding of race in America. Then when we encounter the media’s oversimplified images of the man and his message, we must work to reinject substance into the symbol.

Women’s basketball I was recently in Cameron Indoor Stadium to watch our league-leading basketball team handily vanquish one ACC rival, then defeat a tougher opponent three days later in a closer game. Having been picked for the middle of the league when we lost key players after our second place finish in the NCAA last year, Duke—brilliantly coached—is undefeated in the ACC, and has a long winning streak.

Unfortunately, the stands for both games were three quarters empty, with not more than 100 to 200 students at either game. Only a handful of students at a game? This is not a fantasy—l am talking about Duke women’s basketball in January 2000. Our women’s team is playing magnificently, building on last' year’s fabulous season.

GPSC president recounts shocking election day want to be teaching and they’re mad. They aren’t necessarily qualified, and if they’re mad... NB: and they’re not qualified

Oak Room This interview is the sixth in a series of Oak Room Interviews. The series is designed to shed light on the personality of noted campus figures in an informal setting- This interview was conducted by Pratt junior Horn Bradley, editorial page editor of The Chronicle.

NB: How’s life as GPSC president? It’s very interesting. I started out like a lot of TV: I was going to change the world. do—thinking leaders

NB: Viva la revolution!

TV: undergraduates aren’t going to be happy with the education they’re getting. There’s a tug between [Trinity College of] Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School over who’s responsible for paying for these graduate students that are teaching.... So there’s this tug-of-war, and it really upsets me.... We need to consider where we need teaching assistants. What are the graduate students’ needs? It depends on what their field is. What do they need to know to get a job? That doesn’t seem to come into the equation. It’s more, “We have this many undergraduates that need to be taught. So you are going to teach here because it’s easier for us to hire an outside person to teach this other course.” So the graduate students get the short end of the stick....

TV; It’s been hard. Last semester... I was never home. I got here at 8 in the morning and I was here until 9 or 10 at night. I work at the Museum of Life and Science on the weekends from 9 to 5, and then I go from the museum back to school and to the lab and work. So I worked all the time. [My husband! didn’t see me much.... It’s part of my personality; The more things I have to do, the crazier things are, the more productive I am overall. I sort of like it that way.... I work better under that kind of pressure.

How do you represent such a diverse conNB NB Where did you go as an undergrad? stituency as graduate students at Duke? James Madison, in Virginia. I would do it 20 TV: Well, it’s interesting. I always thought that the TV: times over. issues were very different. My new perspective on it is •

•

TV: Pretty much. One reason I thought I originally got interested is because if you look at Duke it’s easy to see that graduate students don’t really exist. And graduate and professional students are—l know I’ve said this a million times—half of the University. Nobody really talks about us—we’re not really here..,. But in the last couple of years, [GPSC] has gotten a lot of publicity. Last year it was bad publicity, and this year we’ve improved a lot. But people don’t really talk about u5.... NB: Were you involved in student government as an undergraduate?

NB: And now you’re not going to be a vet? TV: Shortly after I started that, I decided I wasn’t going to be a vet. I didn’t want to be president—l was the secretary.... I didn’t intend to become president of [GPSC;] it sort of just happened. People don’t believe me.... I was nominated at the meeting and it freaked me out.

NB: You had no idea walking into that meeting that you were even going to consider it? TV; GPSC elections are not the same. Often, it’s whoever volunteers. I was nominated, and I didn’t

know whether I wanted to accept or n0t.... I had to think about it, so they passed by me for the vice presidential elections. So the vice president was elected, and I knew Carol [Chancey] and I knew she’d do a great job, so I decided to run.

Part of it was [JMU] is an undergraduate institution, and that s all the focus is on—undergraduates....

NB: Did you meet your husband here or at JMU? TV: Here actually—in the greenhouse. Todd still says it wasn’t a line, but it was a line, a big-time line. He said, “So, I hear your boyfriend is going to move to Durham.” I said, “No, he’s going to stay at Virginia Beach.” At that minute, Todd’s like, “I knew I’d be in....” We worked in the same lab. In to our department a lot of people do field work and summers are very intense.... So I came in May and started to doing research, and everybody was very field-work to oriented It was probably a month before I talked to anybody.... I was the fly on the wa11.... Which is another thing that’s a big thing of mine, that there is no social atmosphere for graduate students on the whole to interact. And part of it was I was here a month and nobody talked to me....

TV: Scott was nominated, and he ran against me, and I won. It cracks me up when I see that picture that The Chronicle has of me {see above} because [it was taken] NB; From what I understand, GPSC has been very sucright after I was elected, and I was thinking to myself, cessful this year.

NB: Why do you think GPSC has been so successful this year? Do you think its a question of leadership, or do you think the timing was right following last year? TV: I don’t know. I see all the time in The Chronicle and hear from various people that it’s the leadership. Maybe it’s just high humility, but I just can’t believe that.... Part of it is that it’s the right time for us to do things. People are ready to listen to u5.... In the past, GPSC hasn’t been vocal. Leaders have been afraid to ask for things. The personality of the leadership—not just me, the people who are active in GPSC—is not like that. If we want something, we’re going to say it point blank. We’re not going to say, “We know you’ve tried, but....” We expect you to recognize it and we expect people to try to work on it, and I don’t think that’s really happened in the past....

done discreetly. “We want to make the addition to the building one which is fitting to the campus environment,” he said. Architects will probably follow models like the upper floors of Perkins Library, which are barely noticeable from the outside. “There’s a whole upper level that you don’t even know is there,” Duda said. At the beginning of the fall, administrators announced plans for smaller, more immediate improvements including their intention to move the information desk and the Page Auditorium box office to a shared complex in the lobby near Reynolds Theater. “It took forever to get this thing designed. We realized that it was going to need high-tech equipment it doesn’t have now, and that changed the design plans,” said Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni. “We decided [to] keep working on it and make it stronger and stronger to make sure it can move outward and provide instant information on just about anything.” Contractors will submit bids for the redefined project by early February, and administrators will settle on a contractor by March 1. Construction should begin by March or April. Original cost estimates for the new information desk ranged from $75,000 to $125,000, said David Majestic, director of planning for Auxiliary Services, who estimated that the redesigned pro-

Trask, on the Bryan Center renovations ject would likely be more expensive. For the last several years, students

and officials have discussed the need to

remodel the Bryan Center, which is often criticized for its abundance of dead space and discontinuous and awkward architecture. Although parts have been revamped—for example, the cafe area was given a facelift in 1997—major structural changes have taken a backseat to res-

idential life planning. As the Residential Program Review enters its final planning stages, the University can now refocus on the question of social space, Trask said. “We wanted to make sure we knew what the spaces would be in the new and renovated dorms...” he said. “We don’t want to build the same thing twice.” Still, he added, a full-scale renovation will have its own complicating factors: ‘There’s no place to move everybody to get it started.” Trask stressed that renovating the Bryan Center will likely remain an on-

going project. “We’re picking off bits and pieces of the upgrade as we can,” he said. “There’s more work to be done.”

Duke faces tough test with Erb, No. 6 N.C. State The women’s basketball team’s 15-game winning streak is on the line against the Wolfpack’s large and talented frontcourt. By 808 WELLS The Chronicle

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times, sort of. It is the tale of two basketball teams heading in opposite directions. No. 9 Duke (16-1, 5-0 in the ACC) heads into its showdown tonight in Reynolds Coliseum, against No. 6 N.C. State riding high on a 15-game winning streak, tops in the nation. N.C. State (14-2,5-2) began the season on a 14-game winning streak, but has since dropped two straight, including an embarrassing 80-73 loss to Virginia in which it shot a dismal 33 percent from the field. Despite its recent struggles, the Wolfpack still pose a significant challenge

to the Blue Devils. Duke will still have to contain State’s twin towers, 6-foot-6 Summer Erb, last year’s ACC player of the year, and 6-3 freshman Kaayla Chones, a much-heralded forward who has already proven that she is ready for big-time basketball.

guys, ‘As soon as you tap it, it’s over.’ So when I saw the ball go low, I thought the game was over. They were able to move faster than the speed of sound, I guess.” With the score locked at 79-79, it was clear that in the overtime neither team would take any lead for granted. The Wolfpack opened with two free throws from Williams, but the two-point lead would be N.C. State’s last of the game. Chris Carrawell, whose career-high 30 points led all scorers, tied the score on a layup assisted by Battier. Battier’s pass to Carrawell was the first of four assists for the junior during the extra frame, and it was Battier who found Carlos Boozer for a dunk to take the lead with just over three minutes remaining. Duke would stretch the lead to 86-81 with less than 90 seconds remaining. But when it looked like the Blue Devils were once again comfortably ahead, N.C. State’s Archie Miller drained a quick three. The prolific tandem of Battier and Boozer had one more connection left, though, and Boozer’s layup gave Duke a four-point lead with only 36 seconds remaining. The Blue Devils would maintain their lead this time, making their last four free throws. In a game of runs, it was Duke who ran last.

THURSDAY, JANUAR'

Duke seeks way to contain State on glass Wolfpack struts W. HOOPS from page 19 matchup problems inside. They have great size, but we feel that we are more athletic in the post.” Defense, rebounding, and the threepoint shot will be the major factors in determining the outcome. Duke leads the ACC in scoring defense (52.5) and is holding opponents to just 37.6 percent from the field. The Blue Devils have not allowed an opponent to score over 61 points in their last nine contests, and just one team this season has hit Duke for more than 70. N.C. State is equally impressive on defense. It is second in the league in scoring defense (58.8) and is allowing opponents to shoot just 38 percent from the field. The Wolfpack have only allowed five opponents to crack the 70point barrier. The Wolfpack has really hurt teams this season with its rebounding, especially on the offensive glass. In Monday’s loss to white-hot Virginia, the Wolfpack compiled an impressive 29 offensive rebounds, a fact not lost on Duke’s coach. “It’s going to be a long game for us if they get 29 offensive rebounds,” Goestenkors said. The coach will place much of the responsibility for boxing out the taller Wolfpack on Browne, who is averaging 6.9 rebounds a game. “We need to contain them on the boards and take away the offensive rebounds,” Browne said. “In the [UVa] game, they scored a lot of points on easy putbacks.” Duke’s ability to score from the outside is proven. Rice, Georgia Schweitzer, Sheana Mosch and Missy West are all hitting at 40 percent or better on three-pointers.

Conversely, the Wolfpack has struggled at times with the outside shot. Tynesha Lewis is the team’s leading three-point shooter, but she went 2-of-20 from the field, and just 1of-8 from behind the arc, in the loss to the Cavaliers. Terah James and Amy Simpson also

6-6 Erb and 6-3 Chones are candidates tor national player of the year and rookie of the year honors. Both posted big numbers in Monday’s UVa loss, most coming on easy putbacks. Rice, Browne,and Parent are very athletic and can put the ball on the floor at any time. Still, Erb and Chones are instant offense.

If the Pack doesn’t have Georgia on its mind, it will be a blowout on its scoreboard. Schweitzer has emerged as one of the premier guards in the ACC, and she is tough on both sides of the ball. Lewis is super-athletic, but she only shot 2-of-20 her last time out. James is athletic too, but she’s only a freshmen. Amy Simpson scores 7.1 ppg in just over 10 minutes of play. Gardner and Scales relieve James and Chones, but neither provides much offense. Missy West is shooting 67 percent on threes in ACC games, torching Wake for 22 points.

Added teammate Shane Battier, “They’re probably the most veteran team in the league right now.” Although the Blue Devils are one of the younger teams in the conference, they’re still winning—as they did last year, and the year before, and the year before. These days, the victories can be ugly, like against DePaul, when a 6-foot-10 freshman who played just four minutes banked in the game-winning three-pointer. But now that Duke is 5-0 in the ACC, ranked fifth in the country and riding a 14-game winning streak, it appears these wins can’t be a fluke. This team has won close game after close game—including three in OT. The end of regulation last night could’ve cracked the toughest team, but Duke returned to the court and put together a solid five minutes ofbasketball. As James said, “We couldn’t be shocked.” And they weren’t. “For us to play the overtime the way we did after what happened is something special,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s one of the better things I’ve seen one of my teams do. “After an emotional downer, for us to come back like that is magnificent.” Battier had a word for the thing that has kept Duke from losing for more than two months. Right now, it’s hard to argue with him. “We have a lot of heart,” he said. “Everyone’s talking about how young we are, but we have a lot of heart.”

“They knocked in some shots early and that made their intensity look better. I think we have intensity, we’re just not a rah-rah type of team.” UNC coach Bill Guthridge, AFTER HIS TEAM LOST TO UCLA

� Crem(ins) of the crop With Georgia Tech's 69-68 win against Maryland Saturday, head coach Bobby Cremins moved ahead of Charles "Lefty” Driesell to move into third place among ACC coaches in career wins. Cremins has won 350 games with the Yellow Jackets and trails Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski (483) and UNC’s Dean Smith (879).

� ACC vs. The World The ACC is now a combined 7-13 against nonconference ranked teams. The .350 winning percentage is fifth among the nation's eight major conferences, although the league's seven wins trails just the Big Ten and Pac-10. Just four teams are .500 or better: N.C. State (1-0), Wake Forest (1-0), Maryland (2-1) and Duke (2-2). FSU and Georgia Tech are both 0-3 while UNC is 1-4.
