Gore squeaks by Bradley in N.H.

By RON FOURNIER Associated Press

MANCHESTER, N.H. Arizona Sen. John McCain scored a landslide victory over George W. Bush on Tuesday in New Hampshire’s leadoff primary, puncturing the aura of inevitability that had buoyed the Texan’s drive for the Republican presidential nomination. Vice President A1 Gore staved off a toe-to-toe challenge from Democratic challenger Bill Bradley.

“We have sent a powerful message to Washington that change is coming,” McCain told cheering supporters. He watched returns with his teary-eyed wife, Cindy, who put a trembling hand to her mouth and said, “It really happened.”

With returns from almost all ofNew Hampshire’s 300 Republican precincts, McCain had 49 percent of the vote compared to 31 for Bush. Millionaire publisher Steve Forbes was a distant third at 13 percent and former Ambassador Alan Keyes was at 6.

McCain’s 18-point margin recast the GOP race for the larger states ahead. He won 10 ofthe 17 GOP delegates at stake, Bush 5 and Forbes 2.

Of necessity, Bush took the long view, telling the Associated Press, “New Hampshire has long been known as a bump in the road for front-runners and this year will be no exception.” After calling McCain with congratulations, Bush told supporters, “I am [al better candidate for having come to New Hampshire and waging this campaign and because of this competition.”

JOHN McCAIN, top, handily defeated George W. Bush by a margin of 18 percent in the New Hampshire’s primary. Meanwhile, Al Gore, bottom, barely survived Bill Bradley’s challenge.

Gore was winning 52 percent of the Democratic vote and 13 delegates, Bradley 47 and 9. “We’re going to march all the way down the field—from state to state, from coast to coast—all the way to victory in November,” the vice president told supporters, as Democrats and Republicans alike looked to upcoming primaries that could determine the nominees by mid-March.

The night’s winners, Gore and McCain, were flying from New Hampshire for middle-of-the-night victory rallies—Gore in New York, McCain in

Chechen rebels flee war-torn capita The abandonment of Grozny would allow the Russian flag to fly over the ci

By MICHAEL GORDON N.Y. Times News Service

MOSCOW Separatist rebels announced Tuesday that they were abandoning the Chechen capital and would use the breakaway republic’s mountains and countryside to launch attacks on Russian forces.

The Russian military confirmed that a group of rebels had left the besieged capital, Grozny, and headed for the town ofAlkhan-Kala on the outskirts.

Insisting that the militants were surrounded, Russian commanders vowed to use air power, artillery

and armor to stop them from getting away.

“The events of 1996, when the rebels left Grozny and then came back, will not happen again,” said Marshal Igor Sergeyev, the Russian defense minister,, As the fighting raged, there were reports that several rebel commanders had been killed while trying to escape and that Shamil Basayev, the Chechen warlord, lost his leg when his car struck a Russian mine. These reports could not be confirmed.

Cohen orders anti-harassment trainin

By ELIZABETH BECKER N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON Every member of the armed forces, from four-star generals to privates, will undergo training by the end of the year to prevent anti-gay harassment, the Pentagon announced Tuesday in a sweeping admission that its “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is poorly understood in the ranks.

Following the murder of a gay private in Kentucky last July, Secretary of Defense William Cohen ordered each of the armed services to prepare training programs and asked the senior civilian and military leaders of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines to send letters to their commanders this month underlining that anti-gay threats and harassment will not be tolerated.

“What this does is try to make the training more regular and to emphasize, from the top down, that this

is a priority of all the services and to make this en phasis stronger and clearer than it was before,” sai Kenneth Bacon, the Pentagon spokesperson.

While the “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t harass” polic is five years old, the armed forces has never made it subject for universal training of its members, nor he the Pentagon sent out messages to the field specifica ly ordering full compliance.

Although the policy appears straightforward-tha gay and lesbian members may serve in the military long as they keep their sexual orientation to then selves and do not engage in homosexual acts—the mi itary has been plagued with instances of gays beii harassed until they admitted their sexual orientatioi thus ending their military careers.

Unanimity reigns at GPSC meeting

By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

The Graduate and Professional Student Council’s first meeting of the semester was well attended, as every seat in the small room was filled.

Although there were many voices, debate was limited and not a single negative vote was cast during the evening. Only a motion to include a collective bargaining agreement in the Graduate Student Charter was able to curry significant argument.

Although GPSC President Tomalei Vess had previously decided to leave collective bargaining out of the charter, she said she is now reconsidering her position.

Vess, a fifth-year graduate student in zoology, stressed that she could not envision Duke students ever going on strike, but said she wanted students to be able to protest if necessary. “The University of Toronto just went on strike. The graduate students get paid very little there, and they don’t get tuition paid or waived,” she said.

Collective bargaining for graduate students is a heated issue around the country, and most GPSC members felt the motion would not pass easily. “I would urge this council not to put it in [the charter],” See

said he hoped to have an interim manager in place by the time Thompson leaves, but he set no timetable on finding a permanent manager.

“It certainly would be easier if we [didn’t have] to deal with it, but what works in Durham’s favor is we have a strong board that’s been through the issues we’re going through right now,” he said.

The commissioners will also need to decide whether to undertake the search themselves or use a professional head-hunting firm to screen candidates. They may also seek internal candidates, including the two recently hired deputy county managers.

One potential problem in the search for a permanent manager is that the job as now constituted may not exist for much longer. Once the city and county complete what seems like an inevitable merger, only one manager is likely to oversee the new government.

Regardless, Bell said he did not think it would be difficult to find someone to take the job. “I’m sure there will be an awful lot of people interested in coming to Durham as county manager,” he said.

By NORM BRADLEY The Chronicle

Probing the earliest stages of cancer development, researchers at the Medical Center conducted a study that could lead to new drugs that would starve tumors before they start to spread.

The report —published in the January edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute—found that tumors can grow from just hundreds of cancer cells, not millions as previously believed.

Tumors grow by forming cancerous blood cells.

But, if the cancer cells are detected early enough, growing new blood cells—a process known as angiogenesis—can be blocked by a new class of drugs known as angiogenesis inhibitors.

“This [studyl supports the use of angiogenesis inhibitors as an adjuvant therapy for cancer,” said Chuan-Yuan Li, assistant research professor ofradiation oncology and the lead author of the study.

Tumors must feed themselves in order to grow and replicate.

They do this by communicating with nearby blood vessels and migrating toward them. Now that the mechanism for tumor formation is understood, researchers hope drugs can be developed to stop the growth.

tumors would not form naturally, forcing the cells to migrate.

To monitor the cells’ migration, scientists replaced skin on each lab rat with special window chambers, which allowed the researchers to watch the cells grow and move inside the live rodents.

To make the cancer cells more visible, they were labeled with a fluores-

The study—which seven Duke researchers have been working on for the past two years—was a joint initiative of the Medical Center and the Comprehensive Cancer Center and was funded in part by the National Cancer Institute, the Department of Radiation Oncology and Duke’s Specialized Program of Research Excellence in Breast Cancer.

m!®? head endorses boycott, IFC firats plan discussion of issue

BOYCOTT from page 1 symbol of the South,” he said.

Su said other legislators also plan to vote against the resolutions. “Most people are against the boycott,” he said.

And even the boycott’s most ardent advocates do not necessarily support the DSG initiative. “I strongly agree with the NAACP boycott,” said Trinity senior and at-large legislator Luis Villa, “but I’m not sure that taking this sort of stand on social issues is a good move for DSG to take.”

Villa worried that linking a vote on DSG’s role to a fiery political issue will cause the first resolution to fail, hindering the organization’s ability to speak up in the future. “I am afraid this is going to set a precedent,” he said.

Independent of DSG, many student groups are debating whether to continue the Myrtle tradition this year.

Interfratemity Council President Ken Collins, Trinity ’99, acknowledged that a Duke boycott of Myrtle Beach would be successful only if selective houses, fraternities and sororities endorsed a new location.

Still, he remained unsure as to whether those groups would be willing to go elsewhere.

‘Unless they just have ardent support for the flag coming down immediately..., it’s very likely that they could choose con-

venience over supporting this cause,” he

said, adding that presidents of IFC fraternities will discuss the boycott at their meeting tonight. Although Collins initially opposed the boycott, he said he would encourage the fraternities to support an alternative vacation spot.

Old House CC President Matthew Sherwood said he has heard discussions about the boycott within his living group, which has not formally addressed the matter. During Myrtle Beach week, the group traditionally hosts the Purple Passion party, which draws hundreds of students.

“We’re probably going to continue with our plans when the time comes to go down to Myrtle,” the Trinity junior said. “If the gravity of the situation looms, we might change our minds. It’s kind of early.”

Mirecourt President Kat Kirchner, a Trinity junior, said her group will go to Myrtle Beach. “The problem was we had a deposit in advance, so we would lose a lot of money,” she said.

Prism, on the other hand, voted to support the boycott, said President Cory Chen, a Trinity senior. “I would hope that DSG passes both resolutions,” he said.

DSG meets tonight at 6:30 p.m. in 139 Social Sciences Building.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY

Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

Common-sense voting Duke Student Government legislators should decisively approve two resolutions before them tonight—one regarding DSG’s role in political issues and another supporting the NAACP’s tourism boycott of South Carolina

Nearly

every Duke Student Government resolution passes the legislature unanimously.

Neither of tonight’s resolutions on the political role of DSG or the tourism boycott of South Carolina should be any different.

Originally, the legislature was set to debate a resolution endorsing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s boycott of South Carolina tourism.

But last week, its author, Trinity sophomore and legislator Jason Freedman, introduced another resolution to reaffirm DSG’s role as the voice ofthe student body and explore the propriety of weighing in on off-campus political issues.

Freedman claims this resolution will separate those legislators who oppose the boycott itself from those who do not think it is DSG’s role to speak at all.

But this resolution will do nothing of the sort. Brought to the floor first, this resolution will attract both those who think DSG should stay quiet and those who believe DSG should talk but oppose the Myrtle Beach boycott. This poorly conceived voting structure will allow legislators to hide their true thoughts about the politically tricky boycott issue, and as a result, the boycott will probably not even be discussed.

Freedman should withdraw the resolution before tonight’s meeting.

If the first resolution does come up for a vote, the decision is a nobrainer. Without significant programming funds of its own, DSG’s only real purpose on campus is to speak. Its members must recognize that their mouths should be turned on students’ ears as well as administrative ones. Voting against the first resolution strips DSG of its power.

The first resolution draws a false distinction between issues directly affecting on-campus student life and those related but not influencing on-campus activities. Instead, the student government should see its role bounded by the scope of students’ lives rather than the walls around campus. The South Carolina boycott and anti-sweatshop activism, for example, are germane to student life and must be tackled by the sanctioned voice ofthe student body.

As such, the resolution supporting the boycott must be debated.

And passed.

The NAACP’s boycott ofthe Confederate flag atop South Carolina’s state capitol represents a critical turning point in the continuing struggle for racial equality in the South. This May, Duke students can use their economic clout to make a difference.

But the students’ noble efforts will be in serious trouble if DSG fails to support the boycott and coordinate a trip to an alternate location, A national magazine once called Duke the most activist campus in the country. We hope we can still say that tomorrow.

Letters to the Editor

Severe weather policy does not meet employee needs I am currently engaged in a losing battle with Duke’s severe weather policy.

As you know, Duke University Medical Center essential employees (doctors,

nurses, medical technicians, etc.) were expected to report to work as usual during the snow and ice storms of the past two weeks. The University provided these employees with transportation and day care as necessary, as well as a bonus.

However, researchers and research technicians are also considered part of DUMC, and indeed their work is in large part responsible for Duke University’s prestigious reputation in the medical sciences.

I am a research technician.

My job is essential to the research (both clinical and academic) in my lab for the Department of Biochemistry.

For much of the past two weeks I have been faced with an impossible situation:

DUMC classifies “nonessential.”

me

as

During severe weather, including blizzards and hurricanes, I am given one hour’s “grace” time to get to work, after which I am “eligible” to take annual leave or holiday time ifI am unable to arrive at my job.

Therefore, when everything at Duke was officially canceled Tuesday, all the roads were covered by 15 inches of snow, all schools and day care centers in Chapel Hill and Durham were closed and the governor made an announcement for everyone nonessential to stay off the roads, the University’s severe weather policy did not “require” me to be at work, but did require me to pay for my absence. Same for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

I participate in a program through the Chapel HillCarrboro Public School System so my five-year-old

son has a place to go 0n severe weather days wh en his school is closed. But even this place was closed last

week due to the severity of the road conditions.

Also, until Friday, there was no attempt by the University to plow the roads, sidewalks or parking lotj necessary for its employees to be at their jobs.

Furthermore, my building

had no heat all last week due to broken water pipes. I don’t think the Occupational Safety and Health Administration would approve of such working conditions.

The University needs to revise its severe weather policy immediately so that employees like myself aren’t faced with the choice of risking our lives or sacrificing our well-earned vacations, Katharine Coyne Research Technician, Department of Biochemistry

Today’s black leaders seek publicity, The Right Side of Campus John Zimmerman Black leaders today speak fondly of Martin Luther King Jr. and claim to be continuing his crusade for racial equality. But, in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Men like Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. A1 Sharpton are betraying all that King stood for. They are merely publicity-obsessed race baiters.

On one hand, these men ask that blacks be treated equally, certainly a noble cause. But then they turn around and demand special treatment in the form of affirmative action or hate crimes legislation.

The key is that Jackson and Sharpton want equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity. Giving blacks the same chances to succeed is insufficient; their success must be guaranteed up front.

This concept seems blatantly anti-competitive and undemocratic. But worse than that, it is the polar opposite of the doctrine such leaders claim to follow.

Indeed, Shaijiton gushes, “What we are doing is just yhat King did.” But what Sharpton advocates is judgmg people on the color oftheir skin, not the content of their character—just what King assailed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963.

For the most part, Sharpton is nothing more than a media-hungry showman. He is happy to join the latest protest—no matter what the cause—as long as it makes the evening news. He even admits that a black mader must be “part religious leader, part social leader, part social worker and part entertainer.” Sharpton is

certainly very big on being an entertainer but has a poor track record as a social leader.

Regardless of the news source, we’re just not hearing enough about the candidates’ pets. Millie Bush put out her own book (with help from Barbara), Nixon moved the nation with his Checkers speech and Socks and Buddy are leaving their mark on the White House as we speak.

How can we choose someone to lead our

country—someone

appoint several Supreme Court justices during his term—without knowing if he’s a dog or cat person?

Alan Keyes could be a snake handler, for all we know. George W. might have a parrot as his mascot. McCain might keep poisonous gila monsters and scorpions—denizens of his arid state—behind a secret panel in his office. As for A1 Gore? He probably keeps fish.

Maureen McClamon is a graduate student in the Department of Sociology.

The real problem is that so many kids are getting arrested and so many teenagers are getting pregnant. If Sharpton is merely an annoying sideshow, however, Jackson were truly concerned about civil rights or the when compared to Jackson. Jesse Jackson actually health of society, he would address these issues. But it’s tries to use ideas to back up his demonstrations.

There are enough stereotypes in this country This cause is so important for Jackson that he called that Jackson need not create more. Rather, he and an “emergency summit” to address the “zero tolerance” Sharpton should admit that there are bad apples policy that many schools like Decatur High are now everywhere and celebrate the successes ofreal leaders, using.

But these men do not concern Jackson was forced to bus in protesters to stir things themselves with individual achievement; instead, they up.

Graduate students examine parking � GPSC from page 3

said John Cook. “It can inflame tensions that shouldn’t be there and don’t need to be.”

Despite the discussion, the vote to leave collective bargaining out of the charter was unanimous.

During the meeting, Vess also questioned the composition of the committee recently formed by Provost Peter Lange to examine proposals for increasing graduate student support. “Several professional schools do not have representation on that committee,” she said, adding that students in such schools needed to keep

her informed of their needs.

One common concern for graduate and professional students is the parking situation on campus.

Cook, the graduate student representative to the Parking Task Force, said the situation may go from bad to worse.

“There are plans in the works to build new dorms in the Ocean [parking lot],” he said. “This will cost 453 parking spaces. I did not think this was a good idea.”

In another perennial debate, GPSC members discussed whether graduate students who are just shy of receiving dissertations should be allowed to “walk” with their peers at May graduation. GPSC Ombudsperson Brenda Faiola raised the issue last night, explaining that graduate students who gain their doctorates in June cannot attend graduation ceremonies until the following May. The council voted to create a committee to tackle the issue, but was unable to find a volunteer to chair the new group.

Before adjourning the meeting, Vess detailed several other job vacancies, and asked GPSC members to fill the openings. She encouraged members to think about their places in the organization next year, and hinted that elections would take place at the April 4 meeting.

Smith is the third Blue Devil to be awarded the ACC's weekly honor this season, following teammates Tom Cass and Tommy Hoang.

Fomer Dallas head coach Chan Galley has been named the offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins. Gailey coached the Cowboys for the last two seasons, going 18-14 over thattime and leading both teams to the playoffs.

ST. LOUIS

on top.

Dick Vermeil is going out

On Tuesday, two days after winning his first Super Bowl and after a talk with his wife, the 63-year-old coach of the St. Louis Rams announced his retirement. His eyes filled with tears and his voice choked with emotion, Vermeil said it was “an unbelievable feeling” to leave as a champion.

“I think the time is right,” he said, the Super Bowl trophy sitting on a table to his right and a blue wheelbarrow symbolizing his work ethic to the left. “Very few people in this profession get this opportunity.”

Vermeil made a quick decision because he didn’t want to be involved with the free agency period that starts Feb. 11. He leaves with two years to go on a five-year, $9 million contract.

“I don’t want to participate in that,” Vermeil said. “I don’t want to cut the squad.

These are my guys.”

Owner Georgia Frontiere tried to talk Vermeil out of it, team president John Shaw said he should at least wait to make sure and special teams coach Frank Gansz made an impassioned plea. Rams players just wanted the best for the coach who made it a point to get to know all of them.

“I feel indebted to coach Vermeil,” said linebacker London Fletcher, who also urged Vermeil to stick around. “He gave me an

opportunity that maybe nobody else would have and I’m very grateful.”

Linebacker Mike Jones, who made the game-saving tackle on Tennessee’s Kevin Dyson, said looking back that Vermeil dropped a few clues on the flight back from Atlanta but “I never put it together.”

“It’s a great legacy,” Jones said, “going from worst to first.”

San Francisco general manager Bill Walsh, a longtime friend of Vermeil, agreed with the coach that the time was right.

“At this stage of his life, he’s accomplished everything,” Walsh said. “Now it’s time for him to thoroughly enjoy the rewards of what he’s accomplished.”

This exit was a lot different than the first time he walked away from NFL coaching,

complaining of burnout when he left the Philadelphia Eagles in 1982.

The decision elevates offensive coordinator Mike Martz to coach. The Rams signed Martz, who directed the NFL’s top-rated offense (33 points a game) to a two-year contract in January that assured he would DICK VERMEIL had tears in his eyes as he announced his retirement yesterday. inherit Vermeil’s job.

“I told everyone before the season that the news conference. A Rams spokesman Mike Martz was the type of coach who said Martz would postpone surgery and hold would go after it—from the first game to the a news conference Wednesday morning. last,” said Isaac Bruce, who caught the winVermeil coached two Super Bowl teams 19 years apart. He led the Eagles to the ning touchdown pass in the Super Bowl.

Martz, scheduled to undergo surgery Super Bowl in 1981, and that 27-10 loss Wednesday for a neck problem, didn’t attend fueled his return to the profession in 1997.

Halfway home: Women’s hoops’ highs and lows With the women’s basketball team halfway through the ACC schedule, The Chronicle looks back at the important moments of the first half of the season.

Carolina this season was to rivalry games what U.S.A.-Iraq was to wars. The Blue Devils raced out to a 30-8 lead and cruised to a 101-58 win.

The 43-point margin marked The Highlights the most lopsided win ever for Duke against North Carolina in 1/22/99 NC-17 beating the more than two decades The women’s basketball team’s they’ve played, and the Tar Heels’ first meeting with North worst defeat in nearly a decade.

11/28/99 Lion-taming Traditionally, Duke has devoured its opponents in the Ronald McDonald Classic like a cheeseburger Happy Meal.

But Penn State, this year’s opponent in the Classic’s championship game, was more like a raw 32-oz steak.

The then-No. 8 Nittany Lions presented the Blue Devils their first stiff challenge ofthe season and they responded with fire. A late second-half run propelled the Blue Devils to a 63-49 win and their eighth straight title.

11/10/99 G! What a class!

While its Final Four appearance may have signaled Duke’s entrance into the national elite, the recruiting class this season pushed coach Gail Goestenkors and the Blue Devils to front and center on the national stage.

Goestenkors hauled in a fivemember class ranked among the top three in the country. Guards Vicki Krapohl and Rometra Craig, forwards Alana Beard, Iciss Tillis and Crystal White all committed to Duke.

All five recruits are ranked among the best in the country and the Blue Devils just missed on several other top-notch recruits.

MICHELE MATYASOVSK v is one of several Blue Devils who have propelled Duke into** the top 10, despite losing six seniors from last year’s team.

12/6/99 Hokie-pokey Last season, Virginia Tech stunned Duke in Cameron in an early-season contest. With one of the largest crowd ever packed into Cassell Coliseum clamoring for a repeat, the Blue Devils made sure there would be no

sequel.

Georgia Schweitzer lit up the Hokies for 27 points and led Duke to a 70-61 win. Although Duke raced out to a huge firsthalf lead, it took a momentumchanging three-pointer by Krista Gingrich with less than five minutes left to secure the

win for Duke.

All year Role player to star With Michele VanGorp and Nicole Erickson leaving, the search began for a go-to player in a game’s waning moments.

Schweitzer made sure that search ended quickly.

In the season’s two exhibition games, Schweitzer clearly took over the role as the team’s primary scoring threat. And by the time conference season had rolled around, Schweitzer had established herself as a primary contender for ACC player of the year honors.

The Lowlights 1/27/00 Midseason Browne-out

While Duke’s rise back into national prominence after losing six players took 10 months, its fall from national contention this season may have taken only a split second.

With just 11 minutes left in North against the rout Carolina, Peppi Browne took one awkward step on the fast break, tearing her ACL and some of the heart out of this year’s squad.

Although Browne has stated her intention to come back this season, her effectiveness will See LOWLIGHTS on page 14

probably diminish due to the severity of the injury.

1/30/00 Snowed under

In a highly anticipated battle for league supremacy between two 7-1 teams, the Cavaliers staged their own blitzkrieg against the Blue Devils.

Capitalizing on a slew of Duke mistakes early, Virginia steamrolled to a 61-49 win and claimed the top spot in the ACC. In its worst performance in three years, Duke turned the ball over on six of its first eight possessions and failed to score for nearly nine minutes to open the game.

1/20/99 D’oh! Simpson sinks Duke It was a game that featured two of the top 10 teams in the country and some of the most explosive players in

the ACC.

Thus it only made sense that the difference-maker was an unheralded freshman.

Amy Simpson erupted for 25 points

and drilled a crucial three-pointer late in the game to lead N.C. State to an 8075 overtime win, handing Duke its first ACC loss of the season.

The last 4 years Knee injuries 4, Duke 0 The opponent Duke has had the most trouble against doesn’t have an explosive offense or a stifling defense.

It connects the lower leg to the thigh.

In addition to Peppi Browne, knee injuries have affected the careers of three other current Blue Devils. A bad knee has changed Jen Forte’s role from an occasional starter freshman year to a student coaching assistant. Missy West’s career was derailed by a serious knee injury three years ago, although she’s regained the form of freshman year in recent games. And a tom ACL suffered last spring has greatly diminished the impact of perhaps Duke’s most highly regarded freshman, Olga

Duke-UNC, when Tobacco Road becomes the Golden Mile The nation’s eyes turn to 15-501, and even a Boston sports fan can figure out what ACC hoops is all about It’s hard to explain the Duke-Carolina rivalry.

Upon It’s hard to understand why this game means so much to so many people. The fans and media treat the review game as if it were war, when it’s anything but.

The players don’t hate each other. Hell, some of them are even friends. They see each other all the time Neal Morgan and they even play together in the offseason. So how come just a few months removed from a summer pickhas never tasted a hot fudge sundae,” Shane Battier up game does all the world suddenly take notice?

“It means more to our fans, our alumni, our stusaid. “You hear how great it is, how delicious it is, dents than the actual players,” Tar Heel center but until you put the first spoonful in your mouth, Brendan Haywood said. “The players, we know each you really can’t savor it and understand what the other. We play each other in the summer and we’re greatness is about. The same holds true for this game.... Until you go in and experience, hear the used to each other, so it’s just another game.

“I think the fans take a lot of things too seriously. crowd and go out for warm-ups, you really can’t I’m not talking about our fans, but fans of basketball understand it.”

I’ll never forget my first Duke-Carolina game in in general, sometime lose sight of the fact that this is Cameron. It was one of the most enjoyable moments of a game. That’s all it is. Just a game.” my collegiate career. Everyone tells me that the game Just another game.

That’s a phrase uttered umpteen hundred times my sophomore year—the one where Duke overcame a yesterday as both Duke and UNC held pre-game press 17-point deficit—was better, but for me, nothing can conferences. But if it was just another game, why the ever top that game in 1997. It was my first. And when Trajan hit that three to seal the deal, I experienced a press conference?

“The hype is always huge for this game, but it’s joy and a sense of camaraderie that I doubt I’ll ever only one game,” Chris Carrawell said. “Beating again experience at a sporting event.

While Duke-Carolina means no more than any Carolina definitely doesn’t make our season. If they look at beating Duke as making their season, that’s other game, to look strictly at the won-loss column is kinda sad.” to miss the point entirely. Even if the players' are Sure, this game counts the same as a win over friends, even if one team is down, it doesn’t matter.

Tomorrow night, you’re either a Duke fan or a Clemson, but when its Duke-North Carolina, everything changes. And even if the players say it’s the Carolina fan, and no other team in the country realsame as any other game, they know it’s a lie. It’s not ly matters.

Growing up in Boston, where college sports have life-or-death like some fans make it out to be, but any player will tell you it’s the most enjoyment they’ll have the importance, of say, the Carolina Hurricanes do here, I never truly understood the rivalry. I saw it on on the basketball court all year.

Nothing can quite compare to the atmosphere surTV every year, but it didn’t leave an impact on me. But rounding a Duke-North Carolina basketball game. It is now that I’m here, I finally understand, even ifI can’t not a war, it’s simply fun. really explain it.

more year, but that’s ok, I get it. I know that 20 years from now when I look back at my college career, I’ll have plenty of great memories courtesy of the greatest rivalry in sports.

“To me, the series, the longer I’ve been in it and the older I get, the more I understand how important Duke-Carolina games are for college basketball because they are showcase games,” Mike Krzyzewski said. “When these two schools play, it’s about tradition, history, all the great players and the coaches who have had the privilege of representing those schools.

“You have two of the top four winningest programs in the history of the game playing. Both programs over the years... they’ve done it the right way. We both have had great kids, a lot of pros, a lot of championships. I don’t see how it gets any better than that.”

Tomorrow night we’ll witness another chapter to that tradition. A new chapter written by new people, including Jason Williams, who vividly remembers watching the Duke-Carolina games on TV as a kid. A young Williams watched the nation’s elite do battle, and dreamed big dreams.

“It means a lot [to now be a part of the rivalry],” the freshman point guard said. “It meant a lot to me to even come here. There is such a great tradition here and I’ve looked forward to playing this game for a really long time. Watching on TV with my father and my mother, and I was like, ‘One day I’m going to be there. I’m going to be doing that.’ Now it’s like a dream come true.”

And when Williams takes the court for the first time tomorrow night, he’ll experience something unlike anything he’s ever experienced. And a nation will feel it too. It’s more than just a game. It’s DukeCarolina. A good time will be had by all.
