Students, police argue over policy

Campus Police Chief Clarence Birkhead responded to long-standing student dissatisfaction with the security policy for on-campus events last week when he issued a draft ofthe previously unwritten guidelines. But many students had hoped the written document would include changes to the existing policy and not merely reiterate the status quo that they say discriminates against non-residential groups, especially minority organizations.

“Most of us just don’t understand. Were our concerns heard at all? Were they taken into consideration?” asked Trinity junior Jasmin French, Duke Student Government vice president for student affairs.

Birkhead stressed that now that the policy has been drafted, he is ready to entertain suggestions for adjustment. “[This draft] is very close to the way we currently do business,” he said. “Up until this time, we had not written it. We’ve taken this opportunity to write down the way we currently do business and solicit comments and feedback for how to modify it.”

But students maintain that the guidelines are exceptionally vague and do nothing to alleviate their concerns about what they call the Duke University Police Department’s expensive and unfair policies. At a small meeting late Monday night, students gathered to dis-

GEORGE W. BUSH campaigns Monday morning at the Baker’s Square Diner in Des Moines, lowa before winning the state’s caucuses that night.

Bush, Gore win in lowa Forbes, Keyes fare well; Bradley earns 35 percent

By RON FOURNIER Associated Press

DES MOINES, lowa Republican George W. Bush scored a closer-thanexpected victory Monday night in the lowa presidential caucuses, besting Steve Forbes to set the stage for a high-stakes three-way race in the New Hampshire primary. Democrats gave A1 Gore a big win over Bill Bradley who said he had “a little more humility” and vowed to push his challenge.

“I can’t wait to get to New Hampshire,” was Gore’s battle cry and he said he’d be campaigning Tuesday at dawn.

The results set the stage for a dramatic week in New Hampshire, first in a furious flurry of primary elections that could determine the presidential nominations by March 7.

Bush described the caucus results as validation of his compassionate conservative agenda. “It’s a solid vicSee

This year, student-programmed concerts on campus have neither been major nor attracted many people.

Major Attractions committee officials, who are responsible for using $30,000 of student fees to program diverse performances, hope the March Wyclef Jean concert they have almost booked will make their year. However, th 6 committee’s recent decision to program only one show each year in a small venue has raised questions about the propriety of spending money from all students on a show for only a few patrons.

MA chair Tiffany Hall, who called the year “frustrating” so far, explained why the committee has brought in only one major performer this year. “I guess I felt we were trying to find another way to please a greater amount of the Duke community...” Hall said. “I think one of my goals was to bring a good amount of diverse shows, but celebrities cost a lot.

It’s hard to program a lot of shows that will be well-attended.”

This marks the second straight year the committee has spent a majority of its student funds and time on one concert. During the fall, MA, which falls under the Duke University Union, did not bring one act to campus, and with little money remaining after Wyclef, it will have difficulty bringing any others.

‘This past fall semester we faced one major obstacle—and that was finding a band the Duke University community would enjoy for a reasonable contract fee,” said Hall, a Trinity senior. “Unfortunately, several of the bands we showed See MAJOR ATTRACTIONS

‘Quiet’ 1960s Duke grad student prepares to reform Chile

By TOBY COLEMAN The Chronicle

Chilean President-elect Ricardo Lagos rose to political prominence during a 1988 television interview. Pointing his finger at the camera, the socialist politician became the first national figure to criticize publicly Gen. Augusto Pinochet, then-dictatorof Chile.

Lagos rose to academic distinction in 1966, when he earned his doctorate in economics from Duke. Those who studied alongside him remember a quiet and studious man few could have predicted would become the president of one of South America’s most prosperous countries.

When informed that Lagos won the presidency Jan. 16, William Schaffer —an economics professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology—was shocked. A former Duke classmate of Lagos, Schaffer remembers the new president as a quiet gentleman.

“Damnation! Who would have imagined? He was just an ordinary economics student when I knew him,” said Schaffer, who graduated in 1967.

With his election, Lagos takes charge of a country in which 20 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. Additionally, his administration will be asked to reform the 1990 RICARDO LAGOS, president-elect of Chile, came to constitution installed by Pinochet.

Duke in 1962 as a Marxist economics grad student.

Lagos came to Duke’s economics department on scholar-

ship in 1962. He planned to stay in Durham only long enough to complete the year-long master’s program, said Lagos’ good friend and classmate Ghazi Duwaji, now an associate professor of economics at the University of Texas at Arlington. Eventually, a professor convinced both Duwaji and Lagos to apply for fellowships and stay three more years for their doctorates.

Duwaji recalled that when Lagos came to Duke at age 24, he was a Marxist, but by the time the Chilean left Duke, he was a more pragmatic socialist.

Although Lagos still calls himself a socialist, his politics are closer to those espoused by President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

His campaign took pains to reassure the business community that Pinochet’s market-based reforms would continue in a Lagos administration.

Lagos’ victory over his right-wing opponent, Joaquin Lavin, marks a notable moment in Chilean history for several reasons.

He is the first divorced president in the Catholic country’s history, as well as the first socialist to lead the Andean country since Pinochet deposed Socialist Salvador Allende in 1973.

The Supreme Court maintains the $l,OOO donation limit originally set in 1976

By LINDA GREENHOUSE N.Y. Times News Service

I

Ruling in a WASHINGTON Missouri campaign finance case with important national implications Monday, the Supreme Court decisively upheld limits on political contributions and rejected the argument that inflation has rendered unconstitutionally low the $l,OOO limit it upheld 24 years ago.

The 6-3 decision left states with considerable latitude to adopt that $l,OOO limit upheld in the court’s much-disputed Buckley vs. Valeo decision, or to experiment with

even lower caps, as a number of

states recently have.

The test, the court said in a

majority opinion by Justice David Souter, is not any fixed or indexed dollar amount, but whether a contribution limit was so low “as to render political association ineffective, drive the sound of a candidate’s voice below the level of notice and render contributions pointless.” Missouri’s $l,OOO cap met this test without running afoul of the First Amendment, the

court said.

The decision overturned a 1998

ruling by the federal appeals court in St. Louis, that declared the Missouri limit unconstitutional on the grounds that it was too low—sl,ooo in 1976 being the equivalent of less than $4OO

today—and that the state had failed to provide “demonstrable evidence” of problems resulting from large contributions.

Had the justices agreed with the Bth U.S. Court of Appeals, the federal campaign finance system, which also has a $l,OOO limit, and those of many states would have been thrown into turmoil.

Thai military retakes captured hospital

By MATTHEW PENNINGTON Associated Press

Thai security forces RATCHABURI, Thailand stormed a hospital Tuesday and killed nine heavily armed insurgents from a Myanmar rebel group who had taken hundreds of patients, visitors and staff hostage.

No hostages were hurt during the daylong siege, but two police officers were seriously wounded, Lt. Gen. Thaweep Suwannasingha told reporters.

“It’s an operation to clear the situation,” Thaweep said. “As far as I know, nine of [the] hostage-takers were killed. The others fled. We are looking for them. We cannot let any foreign troops violate our sovereignty.”

Approximately 450 people were believed to have been trapped in the walled, six-acre compound when the attack was launched before dawn Monday. About that number had been freed or escaped throughout the day.

Sporadic gunfire and occasional explosions were still ringing out over the compound more than an hour after the operation was launched. Helicopters circled overhead.

The rebels belonging to God’s Army, an insurgent group led by 12-year-old twins, took the hostages in an attempt to pressure the Thai government to help their

beleaguered movement.

It was not clear if the twins were involved in the hospital raid.

The rebels were reportedly aided by dissidents from the group that took control of Myanmar’s embassy in Bangkok last October.

Earlier, automatic weapons fire crackled and explosions thudded from inside the hospital, possibly from grenades or mines that the hostage-takers had rigged after taking it over.

In interviews, Forbes voters cite tax issue Dorfman lOWA from page I I’m humbled,” he told the AP as t jje presidential campaigns put the best-possible spins on their finishes.

The Texas governor roused supporters is the beginning with the vow, “tonight Clinton era.” ofthe end of the Forbes said, “we vastly overperformed the polls and have emerged as the conservative candidate” going into New Hampshire.

Gore was outpolling Bradley 63 percent to 35 percent, and the former New Jersey senator said, “Tonight I have a little more humility but no less confidence that I can win and do the job.”

Gore and Bradley were locked in a tie in Granite state polls, and Forbes’ surprise showing makes for a three-way GOP race. Sen. John McCain of Arizona holds a slight lead in most New Hampshire GOP polls, and he hoped to sustain it even after bypassing lowa, where Forbes took advantage.

With results from 93 percent of lowa’s counties, Bush had 41 percent of the caucus vote and Forbes 30 percent.

Former Ambassador and talk show host Alan Keyes was a respectable third at 14 percent, with Gary Bauer at 9 percent, John McCain 5 and Orrin Hatch just I—not even 1,000 votes.

The process will yield 47 delegates to the Democratic convention and 25 delegates to the GOP convention, a tiny fraction of the total a candidate needs to win the nomination. Gore won 30 out of the 47 delegates at stake, compared to 17 tory and

won by Bradley.

An AP analysis showed that Bush

was likely to earn 10 nominating delegates, compared to eight for Forbes,

four for Keyes, two for Bauer and one

for McCain.

Forbes mounted, and funded, a particularly vigorous campaign here, calling on fundamentalist and conservative support to challenge the more moderate Bush.

McCain passed up the contest to focus on more independent-oriented New Hampshire. Keyes bested Bauer in their duel for GOP social activists. Hatch never gained a constituency and was sure to review his candidacy; he planned a news conference in Washington Tuesday.

Advisers said Bauer was deeply disappointed by his showing. Spokesperson Tim Goeglein said the conservative planned to campaign in New Hampshire.

Gore’s big margin blunted Bradley’s challenge going into New Hampshire, where Bradley has polled even with Gore, or even ahead. The former senator from New Jersey was mum Monday night; a relative said Bradley viewed his defeat as just “a bump in the road.”

In a sign of the tit-for-tat to come, Gore accused Bradley of “going negative” in the final days of the lowa race—and said the tactic backfired.

“I think it was a mistake for his campaign to go to the so-called negative approach but I’m not complaining,” Gore said. “But based on what I’ve heard from from the voters out here they didn’t expect that and didn’t like it.”

The caucuses were expected to draw no more than 100,000 voters from each party, concluding a lengthy runup of debates, fund raising and grass-roots campaigning here. lowa launches the presidential race into a frantic sixrweek stretch, with the New Hampshire primary a week away.

lowans were attending caucuses at 2,100 sites across the sprawling, state. In a display of basic grass-roots politics, voters here brave the winter weather and visit classrooms, libraries, fire stations, church basements, grain co-ops and even a few private homes to play their unique role in the American political system.

In an interview, Bush said, “I’m grateful for the outpouring of support my message of compassionate conservatism has received, and I’m looking forward to taking it to the state of New Hampshire.”

In lowa, Bush voters identified moral values and taxes as their top issues, and said they voted for Bush because they believe he can win in November. Among Forbes voters, the top issue was taxes and the top quality was that Forbes stands up for what he believes in. These findings resulted from pre-caucus interviews conducted by Voter News Service.

Hours before the voting, Bradley indicated he was in for the long haul; ‘The longer the competition goes, the better chance that candidate is going to have... in the fall.”

En route to the early contests, Republicans squabbled over taxes and abortion, courting religious conservatives who make up a third of the caucus-going population. Bush carefully calibrated his anti-abortion views to make clear his opposition to the Supreme Court ruling.

LAGOS from page I Moscow shortly before the Pinochet coup, creating an ironic connection

between the University’s two alumni presidents of nation-states, said Ariel Dorfman, Walter Hines Page professor ofliterature.

Dorfman, a Chilean, pointed out that the administration of President Richard Nixon, School of Law ’37, covertly supported the overthrow of the Allende government.

Without that coup, Dorfman said, Lagos might never have become a major player in Chilean politics.

Lagos’ televised criticism of Pinochet provided him the fame that was the foundation for his political success. “It’s called the finger,” Dorfman said. “He lifted his index finger up and said, ‘General, you’re responsible for this.’”

During the 16 years of Pinochet rule, more than 3,000 people disappeared or were murdered and hundreds more were tortured.

Student leaders push for change in event security policy SECURI TY from page I cuss their aggravation with the draft; a larger group will reconvene next week before meeting with police—to sketch a list of their problems with the policy.

“We didn’t want the B.S. put in writing. We wanted the policy changed and then put into writing,” said Trinity junior Kelly Black, of the Duke chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Under the current system, non-residential groups registering with the Event Advising Center must undergo a DUPD security assessment and hire the recommended number of security guards. However, guards are optional for residential groups holding events in their dorms.

For many years, students have questioned the policy, saying that minority groups without housing are frequently required to procure more security—including guards and metal detectors—for —

their social functions.

According to the draft, DUPD takes several factors into consideration when determining how many police officers an event requires. Those factors include the history of the event, estimated attendance, time of day, location, alcohol distribution, money collection at the door and extent of advertising. But the policy does not specify how the criteria are weighted.

“Is it DUPD’s discretionary power?.,.

What tells them we need six [officers] at one event and two or none at another?” asked Trinity senior Damani Sims, president of the Black Student Alliance.

Birkhead acknowledged that DUPD applies its security policy on a case-bycase basis. “Every event is slightly different,” he said. “There is some degree of

discretion in how we staff those events, even in the same venue.”

Instead of assessing each event somewhat subjectively, French suggested that DUPD create a chart of general guidelines on the level of security required for different types of events. “How [can] student organizations prepare for what type of expenses they’ll have if there’s no science or rule to it?” she asked.

French was also concerned about the cost of mandatory security. Security officers cost $35 per hour, and non-residential organizations can receive reduced rates for two events each year. Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Dickerson said Duke already partially subsidizes the fee.

Still, Sims said, “It takes away a lot from the budgets.... It really hits the students’ coffers hard.” Sims and French suggested that the University offer a larger subsidy, an option Birkhead said he might discuss with Student Affairs.

But students are not only frustrated by the obvious financial burden. “For certain student groups to be charged

and others not to—I think that’s really unfair...,” Sims said. “That’s a clear discrepancy and I think it transcends the policy. Minority student groups do not have the privilege of having designated programming space. Other groups do have this luxury.”

The disparity between residential and non-residential groups exists because of a distinction between public and private space. “It has been our practice not to enter into commons rooms unless we detect a problem and need to address it,” Birkhead said. “Commons rooms are considered private space, and for that reason we try to respect that as such.”

“Is it DUPD’s discretionary power? What tells them we need six [officers] at one event and two or none at another?”

Trinity senior Damani Sims, president of the Black Student Alliance

“Every event is slightly different. There is some degree of discretion in how we staff those events, even in the same venue.”

Campus Police Chief Clarence Birkhead But several student leaders argued that this distinction is arbitrary. “One of the biggest aspects in the [safety] of students is whether alcohol is distributed,” said Trinity senior Tiffany McConnell, president of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. “Alcohol is included in residential living spaces; it is a problem. A lot of [fraternity] parties do spill onto the quad and anyone can come from on campus or off campus.”

Police say that many more partygoers come from outside when the event is advertised off campus, as are many parties hosted by the minority organizations. “Off-campus publicity, in general, increases attendance, which could increase incidents,” Birkhead said.

But Sims said the University is primarily concerned with the racial composition of a crowd, not its size. “It is always minority that perceived organizations are bringing in an outside element,” he said. “We attract students from a lot of historically black colleges.

Most ofthem are fine. It’s perceived that they will cause trouble.... All the parties I’ve attended have had people from other schools. I don’t see any other reason why there should be such fear about having these people at our events.”

Fund

for

French noted that most on-campus

parties bring in outside guests, but that the numbers are more apparent at minority functions. “We as students know there’s only an 8 percent black population,” she said. “When you arrive at an event where there’s a greater number than what you expect, it’s noticeable that they’re not Duke students.”

Sims and French requested evidence

that non-Duke students frequently cause problems while they are on campus, but Birkhead said those numbers do not exist, Dickerson added that the relationship between police and many non-residential groups is becoming more productive.

“Communications between minority students and the police are reportedly improving because there is acknowledgment of the grievances, and more efforts are being made to hold face-to-face conversations...she said. ‘There is still some distance to go, but students have been assertive about their concerns and the police are being responsive.”

Still, students continue to say there is room for improvement. “In terms of having a stated concrete policy to look at..,, it’s a start,” Sims said. “But by no means can this be the end.”

Social Entrepreneurship

The Duke University Service-Learning Committee seeks applications for grants from The Fund for Social Entrepreneurship. The fund is to support innovative programs and projects by undergraduate students that address compelling social problems at Duke or in the Durham community by seeking to change policies or practices. Examples of the efforts that fit this description are Students Against Sweatshops, Learn A Lot From Others, Break for a Change, Steppin' Up, Student Action for Farmworkers, and Green Earth Gang.

CRITERIA Proposal must be made by one or more enrolled undergraduate students who will be living in Durham during the semester of the award.

Proposal should designate one full-credit academic course that will help student(s) pursue their goal. At least one applicant must be enrolled in the course.

Proposal should define in precise

terms

the social issue to be addressed

Proposal should describe how the program/project will seek to address that social issue.

Proposal should evaluate the potential impact and sustainability of the program/project.

Grants will be given for up to $5OO and will be made at the beginning of each semester. Please submit a two-page description of the project and a proposed budget that specifies the cost of the project. Awards cannot include support for salaries or

stipends.

Applications for projects this semester are due no later than s;oopm on Friday, February 4, 2000. Grants will be awarded by February 14. Proposals for projects to be pursued in the summer or fall of 2000 will be accepted until April 1. For further information, contact Dr. Betsy Alden at 660-3033.

Experts expect little from Congress during election year BUDGET from page 3 cent tax credit for up to $lO,OOO in college expenses, potentially saving students $2,800. The proposal, which would cost $3O billion over the next 10 years, would mostly benefit middle-class and upper middleclass students.

Clinton said at Cal Tech that he hopes his support for student aid funding will become part of the legacy he leaves when his term ends in a year. “This has been a virtual obsession for me ever since I became president,” he said. “I was determined to leave office saying we had opened the doors of college to all Americans.”

Burness said the program is less likely to gain the support of Congress than the research increases. “Those clearly help students tremendously, but they don’t have the same kind of constituent support,” he said.

But Gronke said that Republican votes against improvements in student aid could be costly in_ November, especially given that education has been ranked as one of Americans’ top priorities in several recent issues polls. “If they did oppose it, it would give the De-

mocrats a cudgel to hit them over the head with in suburban areas, which are very important in this election,” he said.

Clinton’s other student aid proposals include a $2OO increase in the maximum size of a Pell Grant and increases to several other programs, such as the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, the College Work-Study Program and the Gear Up program.

The president also said he supports extending a tax break currently given to employers who pay employees’ tuition.

• Clinton recommended extending the provision to graduate education, and Burness said Duke has been pushing for this as well.

Some of Duke’s other legislative priorities for the year include tax credits for promoting corporate investment in university research and maintaining significant tax advantages for charitable giving, which is especially important as The Campaign for Duke rolls along.

The legislative climate Passing much more than the necessaiy appropriations bills will be especially difficult in this election year, as members of Congress will try to speed through the session so they can get to the campaign trail more quickly.

Perhaps more importantly, the political pressures of election-year politics will likely keep legislative advancements to a bare minimum. “I just don’t see a lot happening,” Gronke said, explaining that neither party wants to make a mistake that could ''ost it in November. “Risk-averse parties, risk-averse politicians are just going to stay in a holding pattern.”

Both parties have already moved on to their election-year mode,-he explained, with the Republican leadership disorganized and the Democrats resisting policy achievements and trying to portray the Republicans as a “do-nothing” Congress. “In general, the Congressional term is already over,” Gronke said. “It’s already over. It was over four or five months ag0.... It was over during the Lewinsky thing.”

Isolating Helms

In

this bitter winter for globalization advocates, another multinational organization faced assault last week. The target this time was the United Nations, and the speaker was Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C. From his powerful post as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Helms has been a persistent critic of the United Nations, yet he promised the Security Council a “hand of friendship” last Thursday. Instead, he produced a slap in the face, labeling it an irresponsible, anti-American institution out to subvert the sovereignty of its member governments and the United States in particular.

For opponents of this new isolationism, it is tempting to dismiss Helms’ address as nothing more than another right-wing outburst from the fiery senator. But his portrayal of “a United Nations that seeks to impose its presumed authority on the American people, without their consent...” finds favor in the polls with a surprising number of Americans. The speech gave formal voice to a question many would like to pose to the United Nations: “How are you making my tax dollars work for me?”

The question is a shortsighted one; America’s UN. dues do not pay for monetary aid to Arkansas or peacekeeping forces in Detroit, but the American people could benefit mightily from a world where the rule of law predominates and desperate nations anxious for justice have a refuge instead of warfare.

Last week, Helms invoked the frightening specter of a US. withdrawal from the United Nations. Despite this veiled threat, it would be even more damaging to the international community if US. muscle transformed the organization into an American puppet.

The Security Council provides a venue where the weakest nations can challenge the strongest on almost-even footing. If Helms’ dream of a U.N. that reflexively defers to US. power becomes reality, worldwide faith in the organization—and its peacekeeping ability—will be crushed.

Ten years after the end of the Cold War, national leaders have yet to decide whether political liberalism, free market ideals or a blend of the two should be the lingua franca ofthe new world order.

Average Americans are similarly conflicted.

Helms’ diatribes against the United Nations underline the fact that many Americans are unwilling to sacrifice their tax dollars to the ideals of multinational equality and cooperative conflict resolution. Meanwhile, in 1999’s protests against the World Trade Organization, an equally determined segment of the population demanded that sociopolitical ideals not be abandoned to promote the unrestricted flow of international trade.

As the sole superpower, the United States has three choices; It can withdraw from the world community, attempt to turn the globe into an American protectorate or seek to be a responsible international citizen that uses its strength to promote stability and thereby not impose hegemony. With Helms’ speech, the world’s most powerful nation appears more ambivalent than ever.

Article inaccurately portrayed pre-major advising The Chronicle published

an article in its Jan. 20 edition on pre-major advising that I found both encouraging and disappointing. It was encouraging, for example, to see the comments of a pair of thoughtful pre-major advisers who reflected upon some of the challenges they face in working with students and their concerns about workload and compensation issues.

Less gratifying was the way the article presented

bold but unsubstantiated statements about advising.

For instance, the article refers to “an advising system that does not play a major role in most students’ lives” and states that, “many students say advising is subpar.” As I read these statements, I couldn’t help asking myself, “Where are the data that confirm these conclusions about advising?”

for all of us, to value a normal life over an irrational desire to sleep in a tent for sev-

I say the decision was made for all of us because tenting is similar to the Prisoner’s Dilemma. In the Prisoner’s Dilemma, two suspects are placed in separate jail cells. They are told that if they tattle on their partner, they will receive a one-year jail sentence and he will receive 10 years in the slammer. If both squeal, they each get eight years in jail.

Where are all the self-proclaimed hardcore” fans that are willing to endure larsh weather or severe illness just to sit lear the center of the court? Actually, ;hey are still up there in the front row of ;very game. They are still as loud and as ireative as ever—gotta love the “our wuse” chant. They still taunt opposing ilayers (I loved when a few likened Quentin Richardson’s stretching elastic land to a prophylactic) and come close to Irawing technical fouls on almost every lossession. The difference between this 'ear and last is that these crazies have nade a decision, for both themselves and

will be convicted of a lesser charge and get off with four years each. The incentive is for each player to squeal, leading

to eight-year sentences for both. However, v,h through di colluillr sion, they could both agree to cooperate and thus receive only four years each.

In years past, tenters have chosen to squeal, or defect, from their fellow fans.

By coming back early from their winter vacations, they made others fear that they would be denied admission to the home game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Therefore, everyone is forced to tent. This leads to a massive rush to set up tents, and within days K-ville is usually filled to the brim—the flu virus and Wal-Mart rejoice.

This year, thankfully, our “diehard” fans have realized that there is no need to tent for nine weeks to see our boys embarrass a second-tier team led by a place-holder coach and a fight-prone

for such an extended period of time for any basketball team, no matter if it were this year’s team, last year’s team or Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. It’s just basketball. Granted, Duke Student Government has put up more barriers to tenting than in the past, but hardcore tenters have always adapted. As supposedly the best fans in all of basketball, our team spirit is shown by what we do in the gym, not outside of it. Sure, that one hyper no-talent-coach-turned-ESPNannouncer loves to talk about his “Cameron Crazies,” the “kids with 1,400 on their SAT’s who campout for weeks to see the Tobacco Road Rivalry,” but who cares what a guy who reads off a TelePrompTer thinks about us. We know we are the best hecklers in the business; we don’t have to sacrifice our lifestyles for it.

This tenting dilemma stems from a communication problem. This blissful Kville-free January is thanks only to the

surprisingly rationality of a small number of people. There should be some way in which fans can communicate more clearly in order to put the tenting decision into as many hands as possible.

More DSG regulation is not the solution. DSG was never, is never and will never be the solution to any problem of any kind, anywhere. The only way to formulate a rational tenting scheme is through cooperation of the fans; all of the fans, not just the ones who sleep on the sidewalk for Davidson. The fans should agree to delay tenting until a certain reasonable time period, say one or two weeks before the game. They should also agree on the ground rules: Grace periods for away games, bathroom and meal breaks and ice/snow breaks. Only by coming together to cooperate can the campus be spared a campout that becomes a war of attrition.

Engler, and some of his GOP colleagues, appear to be voterphobic. This is a curious malady for an elected official in a democracy. When people vote, a candidate who doesn’t represent the vie ,vs of the majority can win.

This is not to say that encouraging voter turnout can never go too far—the reported Cook County, 111. tradition in of voting “early and often,” or extending the right to vote to the deceased are examples of overzealousness.

Republicans, who love to talk about liberty, take an elitist and undemocratic stand when they r>ppose increasing voter turnout. It seems Republicans favor democracy unless it reduces their chances of winning.

Republican voterphobia is not limited to northern industrial states. In Durham County, the recent talk of a city-county merger has generated arguments about

The population is the same; the deciding factor is turnout. Members of the city government are calcul their advantage using a simple equation: Fewer people voting equals less democracy, equals more elc .:ed Republicans. This is gerrymandering via the calendar.

To discourage voting is to discourage the fundamental principle and definition of democracy—rule by the people. Candidates should support full voter turnout and let their ideas win or lose in democracy’s marketplace—the voting booth.

The men’s tennis team nearly made every other team a mere footnote in the ACC Indoor Tennis Championships that were held over the last three days.

After having captured seven ACC titles in the 19905, including six of the last seven, fourth-ranked Duke burst out of the gates once again, dominating the tournament at Clemson.

Junior Ramsey Smith and senior Doug Root won the doubles title; junior Andres Pedroso fell in the singles final.

“It was a good weekend for team,” our Root said.

“Everybody played well. We represented the school and the team nicely. We are definitely Doug Root the class of the ACC.” Coach Jay Lapidus echoed his star senior.

“We used the tournament to get more match tough for the season,” he said. “The conference, especially Clemson and Virginia, is a bit stronger this year. Nevertheless, we still are the favorites to win.”

Among the four semifmalists in the singles draw, three—the top-seeded Root, Pedroso and Smith—were Blue Devils. Not only did these players advance as deep as they did, but they played impressively along the way. The three combined to lose just one set over the first two days of competition, with the one hiccup occurring when Eric Jackson of N.C. State swiped the second set of his quarterfinal match with Root.

semifinals, the lone non-Devil, Clemson’s Thomas Boneicki, emerged as the singles champion, defeating Pedroso 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(5) in a hard-fought finale. At one point in the match, Pedroso even had Boneicki cornered with a match point of his own, but the Tiger scratched back to seize the title.

“I could smell victory in the third set....

If I could have capitalized, I definitely could have won the match,” Pedroso said. “However, this tournament gives me great confidence for upcoming events.”

To reach the finals, Boneicki edged Smith 7-5, 7-6(3), while Pedroso pulled off a mini-upset in toppling Root, the 33rdranked player in the nation, 6-2, 7-6(4).

In the doubles portion of the championships, the Devils performed just as commandingly. The Blue Devils’ combination of juniors Ted Rueger and Marko Cerenko glided to the doubles final, where they met their teammates, the second-seeded tandem of Root and Smith, who are also the 34th-ranked team in the nation.

Root and Smith prevailed and won 8-6, capturing the doubles’ title.

“We wanted to win after suffering disappointing loses in singles [yesterday] morning,” Smith said. “We got two breaks early in the match... and we squeezed it out from there.”

Wake Forest showed it can offer a significant threat to the Blue Devils’ ACC reign

By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle

For 11 seasons, the CHAPEL HILL only place parity has ever found in any place in ACC women’s tennis has been in a well-timed punchline.

There’s been Duke, and there’s been everybody else.

The Blue Devils have reeled off an 11-year, 113-match winning streak, but if last weekend’s ACC Indoor Tournament is any indication, 2000 might look little like seasons past.

The tournament saw Wake Forest receive five of the eight singles seeds en route to claiming all three possible titles—singles, doubles and consolation singles.

And for a team trying to vaunt itself over a dozen-year hump, it might be all the motivation the Demon Deacons.need.

“This is the first year in a while in the ACC that we’re going to have some tough competition,” said Erica Biro, Duke’s probable No. 3 player. “Last year, we won the finals in about an hour. It was ridiculous. So it’s good to have some competition. But we’re confident we can win again.”

The Blue Devils, who graduated three 100-match winners from last year’s recordsetting team, rested their top two players, Megan Miller and Kathy Sell. The Demon

Deacons, however, left only top seed Mariel Verban at home.

The result was a Wake Forest whitewash of the seedings and a sneak preview, at least at the bottom of the lineup, of the Sec WAKK on page 15

Two relay teams capture titles at Virginia Tech Invitational By 808 WELLS The Chronicle

Two track and field relay

teams captured first-place finishes and Lamar Grant again ran his way into the Duke record books to highlight impressive Duke performances in the Virginia Tech Pepsi Indoor Invitational this weekend in Blacksburg, Va. “We really had some strong

performances this weekend,” said coach Norm Ogilvie. “Lamar set a new Duke record by becoming the first to run a sub-22 in the 200 meters. The relay teams did very well and the 4xBoo team was unchallenged.”

The men’s distance medley relay team placed first by posting a time of 9:58.92, the fastest time in the conference this year.

The team of Mike McKeever, Dhamian Blue, Kyle Leonard and Bill Spierodowis held off Georgia Tech and North Carolina to win.

Leonard began his leg in third but launched Duke into first with his 800-meter split of 1:52.9. Spierodowis anchored and posted a 4:13 in his initial

foray into the 1600 meters.

The men’s 4xBoo relay team went unchallenged to set a new Virginia Tech track record with a time of 7:37.87. In the process, it qualified for the IC4A Championship meet in March.

James Vasak joined McKeever,

Leonard and Spierodowis on the team and the quartet cruised to an easy victory.

Grant, who also plays safety for the football team, set a new Duke record in the 200-meter dash. He ran 21.97 to become the first Blue Devil to pass the 22-second barrier, breaking the record he shared with two-time Olympian Randy Jones.

On the women’s side, freshman sensation Sheela Agrawal anchored the women’s distance medley relay and passed the ACC defending champion in the mile to help the team post a third-place finish.

Katie Atlas, Courtney Botts and Heather Ryan were also on that team that ran 11:45.89, which is the top performance in the conference this year. Only West Virginia and Georgetown beat Duke as the Blue Devils

narrowly missed the school record of 11:44.64 set in 1998.

Kristen Doody ran her first 800-meter race as a Blue Devil, and she finished second in her section and seventh overall with a time of 2:15.78. Doody overcame what she calls a poor performance in the 400-meter dash just one week earlier.

“My last meet in New York was really bad,” said Doody. “I didn’t run the 400 well at all.

When I found out that I was going to run the 800,1 was really excited. I just wanted to run hard, but I wasn’t going for a particular time. I really had a lot of fun doing it and I look for-

ward to the opportunity to run

the 800 more often.”

Amanda Turner finished 10th in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 18:27.25 The time was a new personal record for Turner, and it was the first time that she had finished under 19 minutes. She finished first in the second section.

The Duke teams will take next weekend off but will be back in action Feb. 4 at the Millrose Games in New York City.

FRESHMAN SHEELA AGRAWAL anchored the women’s distance medley relay, which finished in third place and posted the best time in the ACC this year.

Cavs sweep Duke in Blue Devils follow TO with 10-0 run Ist meet of new year &

By ADRIENNE MERCER The Chronicle

The two swords on Virginia’s uniforms were more ominous than decorative to the men’s and women’s swimming teams, who both fell to the nationally-ranked Cavaliers Saturday at Duke’s Taishoff Aquatic Center.

The Duke men lost 113-78 in their first meet in over a month, and the women suffered a 123-90 defeat.

The men (3-5, 0-2 ACC) dropped the first five events and eight out of 12 to the No. 10 Cavaliers. The Blue Devils were coping with the absence of sprinter Jack Newhouse, who missed the meet due to illness. Freshman Ryan Spoon was a bright spot, swimming Duke’s best 100-yard breaststroke time of the season (1:00.42).

“Virginia is a lot better than us,” coach Bob Thompson conceded. ‘They could have beaten us by a lot more than what they did.”

The women (3-5, 0-2) took two victories against the No. 8 Cavs. Freshman star Laura Downey won the 100yard breaststroke in 1:08.03—a team season best—and junior Kristy Guenther won the one-meter diving competition. Paige Dommerich’s 100-yard butterfly time of 59.47 seconds was also a season best for the Blue Devils. “[This meet] was only important considering that it was our first one back since Dec. 5,” Thompson said, “We haven’t competed for that long, so it was really good to be back in the water, not too bad for a

situation.”

During winter break, the Blue Devils spent two weeks training in Florida. The training involved fourhour swimming sessions, work on specific areas of technique and very little free time.

“Florida worked out great. We’ve been going down there for the past 22 years; we hit the best weather we ever had,” Thompson said. ‘The kids worked really hard, and we got a lot of swimming done. We had a lot of fun; it was a perfect trip.”

Saturday’s meet was the final home competition for the Blue Devils. Duke’s season continues in the next two weeks when it faces Davidson and William & Mary.

Following the final two meets, the Blue Devils will compete in the ACC tournaments in mid-February.

Thompson said that the trip to Florida was centered around training for the ACCs. ‘The next two weeks we have [meets] against competitive opponents, so it will mean a lot more, not just for our opportunity to have a winning record, but we have an opportunity to really compete when it counts,” Thompson said. “We will take a lot more time to prepare for the next two meets than we did for Virginia.” stresslful]

Led by Brooke Wyckoff and April Traylor, who were held scoreless in the first half, the Seminoles went on a 13-2 run to take a 44-39 lead.

“All great shooters go through this.... They’re really focusing on her.”

Coach Gail Goestenkors, on Georgia Schweitzer’s slump

“They became more aggressive and we stopped doing the little things,” Goestenkors said. “We lost our focus offensively and defensively.”

Just as Seminole shooters began heating up, Duke went ice cold. While Florida State erased the deficit and took a five-point lead, the Blue Devils rushed possessions, resulting in turnovers or illadvised shots. In the first eight minutes of the half, Duke committed a whopping six turnovers.

“I think we [panickedl for a little bit,” Goestenkors said. “That team will make runs—any team will make runs—and we need to keep our composure and not panic.”

With her team down five, Goestenkors called a timeout. The break must have had a soothing affect on the Blue Devils, who promptly responded with a 10-0 run, bookended by two three-pointers from freshman Sheana Mosch.

Mosch’s second three gave the Blue Devils a 4944 lead, which was trimmed to 49-48 following two inside buckets by the Seminoles. But with just over five minutes left, Mosch hit another key shot, this time a short jumper that gave Duke a threepoint lead.

“She’s playing really well,” Goestenkors said.

“We feel real comfortable with her in there. She’s just really confident and comfortable taking those big shots.”

Mosch’s buckets helped fill the void left by Georgia Schweitzer, who struggled for the second game in a row. Schweitzer, the conference’s thirdleading scorer, managed just eight points on 4-of-ll shooting. In her last two games, the junior guard is just 8-of-25 from the field.

“All great shooters go through this,”

Goestenkors said. “She’s

had great defenses

against her and they’re really focusing on her.

She’ll.adjust to it. Fortunately, we have other play-

Down 53-48 late in the game, Florida State launched one last run at an upset. Twice down the stretch, FSU got on the free-throw line but missed two of its four shots. Still, with 1:25 left to play, Latavia Coleman grabbed a beautiful lob pass and made an easy layup to tie the game at 54.

But for Coleman and the Seminoles, it would not be enough. Florida State’s potent trio of Coleman, Wyckoff and Traylor were held to 28 points on 11-of-34 shooting, and 21 Seminole turnovers proved too costly in the end.

“Our defense down the stretch was tough,” Goestenkors said. “When we weren’t hitting our shots, that’s what pulled us through.”

inference’s most eagerly anticipated latch in years.

And if nothing else, Biro will never ive to worry about being unprepared ir the Wake Forest lineup.

The sophomore faced five separate leacons on her way to the semifinals in )th doubles and singles as she became le only player other than Wake Forest’s idria Engel to appear in both semis.

Unranked this season largely ecause of a light fall schedule, Biro, vho spent nearly all of last season in he top 100, almost had her first Deacon ipponent be her last.

After watching Biro drop a frustratig first set to No. 7 seed Maren Haus, lead coach Jamie Ashworth gave his top intrant a little between-set advice.

And it couldn’t have worked better.

Biro promptly reeled of the next seven lames in the match, riding the momenum through a tightly contested third set.

“It was like I was playing the worst tends of my life,” Biro said of her opening set.

“I probably couldn’t have made two balls in the court if I tried. When [Ashworth] suggested I change, I had nothing to 105e.... All of sudden I started winning game after game. I was glad to pull it off.”

But for the Deacons, the third time was the charm. After beating Wake’s Jackie Houston—who was ranked 42nd in the last ITA poll and seeded fourth in the tournament—Biro fell to sixth-ranked Adria Engel, the tournament’s eventual champion and the only top-10 player entered.

The Demon Deacon quickly won the first nine games of the match and ended the semifinal contest before it seemed to get started. “[Engel] came out on fire. It was like I was playing Steffi Graf,” Biro said. “It wasn’t like I was really doing anything wrong. You have to give her credit.”

And doubles was a repeat performance.

Biro and senior Brooke Siebel, the Blue Devils’ No. 2 tandem from a year ago, knocked off the No. 8 seed, Janet Bergman and Annemarie Milton of Wake Forest, in the third round. But after winning the first three games of their semifinal match, the Duke duo couldn’t hold off the sixth-seeded team of Bea Bielik and Engel.

“Our top players can succeed, especially in doubles,” Biro said of the Blue Devils’ future matchups with the Demon Deacons. “We’re strong one through three—we’re pretty solid there. But it definitely won’t be a walk in the park.”
