After nearly two years of frequent, sometimes drastic revisions, the upperclass residential review is right on track and chugging full speed ahead. For the first time in months, administrators seem comfortable with their current plans and are busy refining, not revising, them. “We’re real close,” said Judith White, director of the Residential Program Review. If all goes according to schedule, crews should fence off the construction area for a new dorm this summer to begin preparing the site; officials hope to break ground in the fall. The construction will have removed 450 parking spaces—all of the Ocean and the spaces along Wannamaker Drive between the traffic circle and Towerview Drive—by the time students return from summer vacation. White insisted that there are “workable” ways around this parking crunch and added that she is working with the University’s parking consultant to find a solution. ‘We have to have something that we can announce after spring

break, so that people have time to get used to the idea,” she said. She added that administrators and the consultant agree that these spaces can be “found” by reallocating and rezoning the cur-

rent lots. There may be some additional surface lots built, but no one

much-desired link with Edens Quadrangle, the current West Campus nd-man’s-land.

The current plans would create 380 bedspaces along with a cafe, student lounges, service centers and vast landscaped areas in what is now the Ocean parking lot. The number of beds will likely go back down to around 350 as cost constraints come into play. At this point, White and the ar-

N.Y. Times News Service

JERUSALEM The conflict in Lebanon continued to heat up Tuesday as Shiite Muslim guerrillas killed another Israeli soldier, the sixth in two weeks, and Israeli warplanes retaliated less than 24 hours after their first bombardment shut down civilian life in Lebanon. As Arab and some European countries condemned Israel for its air strikes, Prime Minister Ehud Barak lamented that civilian targets had to be struck and that the Middle East peace effort was dealt

Israeli officials said Tuesday

that they would ignore the fouryear-old agreement governing the

conflict, which prohibits involving civilians in the violence, until the Iranian-backed guerrillas began to abide by the rules themselves. They said the Hezbollah, or Party of God, guerrillas increasingly based their command posts in Lebanese villages, using them to launch deadly rockets at Israeli soldiers.

Bush beats McCain in Delaware primary By RON FOURNIER Associated Press

Republican George Bush

won Delaware’s presidential primary Tuesday and earned a badly needed boost into a Southern showdown, even as antagonist John McCain burnished his insurgent candidacy by finishing second in a state

where he did not campaign. “I think this is a piece of good news that will buoy our supporters,” the Texas governor told the Associated Press after securing the state’s 12 delegates. McCain, who skipped Delaware to focus on the critical Feb. 19 primary in South Carolina, attributed his totals to the momentum generated by his shellacking of Bush in New Hampshire’s leadoff primary last week. “It’s bound to give us a boost,” the Arizona senator told the AP. “I think there are some good signs for us,

but I think we still have a long, long way to go. I’m still the underdog.” With 26 of 28 precincts reporting, the Texas governor had 51 percent ofthe votes and McCain had 25 percent, a solid victory for the national front-runner. Though far behind Bush, the Arizonan did surprisingly well for a candidate who didn’t visit or spend money in the state. By contrast, conservative Steve Forbes had a disappointing 20 percent after winning the state’s primary in 1996 and campaigning heavily in the state this year. He will be under pressure to pull out of the race. Former ambassador Alan Keyes had just 4 percent of the vote. Democrats voted Saturday in Delaware, giving Vice President A1 Gore an easy victory over Bill Bradley. In spite ofhis loss, Delaware exit polls suggested McCain benefited from post-New Hampshire publicity.

Honor discussion Christian leader seeks missionaries slated for spring By JAMES HERRIOTT The Chronicle

� The results of a campus-wide survey will

be released in March, and they will help provide the background for a thorough analysis of the Honor Code. By ELLEN MIELKE The Chronicle

What is the state of academic integrity at Duke? Students and faculty will now have to wait until March to find out. When Ethics and Integrity Week comes around next month, the University will finally be able to release the results of the academic integrity surveys it distributed during the fall semester. Those involved with the project said Duke will then begin discussions on possible long-term changes to the Honor Code, including a social integrity component and unproctored exams. The surveys, which polled students, faculty and administrators, were supposed to be tabulated by the end of December, but the results are being held from public release because of an agreement with the organization in charge of the national project. The University originally participated in the project as one of 12 schools that agreed to examine academic integrity issues on their campuses. In addition to the presence of the Center for Academic Integrity on campus, the survey is “a further prompt for us to look at academic integrity on our campus,” Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson said in an interview last semester. The examination of issues such as cheating and the enforcement of the Honor Code is not only an administrative effort, though. The Honor Council, chaired by Trinity junior Matthew Baugh, has begun a cooperative look at academic integrity along with the Undergraduate Judicial Board and the Academic Integrity Assessment Committee. Additionally, the faculty Arts and Sciences Council has declared academic integrity a key priority for the year, but is holding off on its discussion until the survey results are released. Until the survey results are formally released, Baugh and others are discussing the results privately in preparation for a full review of all University-related integrity issues, which will feature recommendations from the group. “The March report will include

Christian leader Bart Campolo, explaining that Christians should be revolted by the world’s evil because they belong to God’s kingdom. Campolo, son of the more famous Tony Campolo, professor of sociology at Eastern College in Pennsylvania, spoke informally to 25 audience members last night in the Divinity School. Campolo argued that Jesus did not save people so they could go straight to heaven but rather so they could live on Earth for a while to fight evil and help others know God. And according to Campolo, there’s plenty of evil to go around. Referencing the Columbine High School shooting last year, poverty in U.S. cities and in rural South America and racial and social injustices in the United States, Campolo argued that evil predominates in the world. “Every spiritual terrorist came down on [Columbine students],” said Campolo, speaking about the shooting’s aftermath. He added that some preachers, trying to explain the incident while maintaining that God ordained it, told the students God was judging them, trying to create martyrs for His glory, or providing an opportunity to praise God. Campolo’s response: “Sick!” “The message is, This place is all wrong’...,” Campolo said. ‘The God I believe in doesn’t work that way. He doesn’t set up neighborhoods where little nine-year-old girls get raped every day.” Campolo also demonstrated the nation’s social injustice by pointing out that the country did not care about schoolchildren killing each other until rich, white children were killed. “Why is it such a big deal when rich, white kids get shot when nobody cares when poor, black kids get shot all the time?” asked Campolo. He urged the audience to do more than just get angry, but to help fight evil by supporting Christian organizations like Mission Year and Compassion International. Mission Year, the year-long mission project he leads, asks people between 19 and 29 to move to an inner-city neighborhood to befriend and serve the residents of the community. For 20 hours each week, participants work as volunteers, usually at secular agencies, in health clinics, social law practices or other neighborhood ministries. ‘The other 20 hours of the week, we send

them out two by two... like good Christian Mormons,” Campolo joked. Campolo expressed great respect for young Mormons’ commitment to missions, and said his program offers a modified version of the typical two-year Mormon mission. “We don’t send [participants] out with tracks to do what you would call witnessing,” said Campolo. Instead, they go as neighbors and ask how they can pray for local residents and serve them. As the neighbors get to know and trust the program’s participants, the residents see that they are genuine, good people. “Once you’re friends with people like that, it’s easy to share your faith. Even if you’re not particularly articulate, people will listen to you,” Campolo said. Secondly, giving $24 a month to Compassion can feed and school a child in an impoverished country, Campolo said, adding that he was very skeptical of the idea of sending money to a group until he went to South America to see what good the program

was doing.

Campolo closed by praying for the audience and its success. “God, I pray that you would take us and use us to build Your kingdom,” he said.

When less is more A Duke study found that HIV patients who take fewer pills per day fare better than those who take more By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

A recent analysis of more than 3,000 HIV-positive patients suggests that, all other factors being equal, an HIV-positive patient who takes fewer pills is significantly more likely to show signs of improvement than one who must adhere to a more complex pill regimen. The researchers and statisticians from the Medical Center and Triangle

Pharmaceuticals who conducted the study said patients with fewer pills would be more likely to adhere strictly to their scheduled regimen. “It’s a significant undertaking for patients to be perfect on their regimens,” said Dr. John Bartlett, director of clinical research at the Duke University Center for AIDS Research and associate professor of infectious diseases. “With fewer pills, it’s easier for patients to take them.” Bartlett presented the findings in San Francisco last week at the Seventh Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.

The study, which analyzed the results of 22 independently conducted experiments dating back to 1995, included 3,115 patients whose daily regimens ranged from four to 16 pills. The 13 drugs involved included protease inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

pill regimens would produce better results—was not particularly surprising to most scientists. “It’s a logical idea that everyone in the field has,” said Dr. Thomas Merigan, professor of medicine and director ofthe AIDS Clinical Trials Unit at the Stanford University Medical Center. But he said the findings were still significant, because they confirmed this idea with scientific evidence. The researchers involved in the study agreed. “It may have been what people expected,” said Cary Moxham, director of HIV Clinical Research for Triangle Pharmaceuticals, which developed some of the drugs studied. “But... this is one of the first analyses that actually puts the proof in the pudding.” Bartlett concurred, calling the results “an important scientific confirmation of our common intuition.” The analysis was originally intended to study the effects of different tripledrug combinations, but the researchers found no significant differences between them. Therefore, they decided to investigate the relationship between pill burden and results. Bartlett said that he hoped the findings would give doctors and HIV-positive patients more information with which to decide on an appropriate course of treatment. ‘These findings will help doctors to make choices,” he said.

However, increased interracial dating is not one of the objectives of these events, said STUD President Sonny Caberwal, a Trinity junior. “Can interracial relationships result from these mixers?” questioned Trinity senior Damani Sims, president of the Black Student Alliance. “That’s really anybody’s call. If individuals feel they have an attachment, it’s a personal thing for them.” Trinity senior Rusty Shappley, who is white and dating Trinity senior Caroline Hu, who is Taiwanese, said interaction will probably increase as more mixers are set up. “Once this divide is crossed, there is the possibility that more serious relationships could be forged, but that as always is up to the individual members and

not the fraternities and sororities,” said Shappley, who added that the chief positive aspect of his relationship has been learning about his girlfriend’s culture. “Coming from vastly different backgrounds and possessing unique experiences, we have learned a great deal from each other,” said Shappley, executive vice president of Duke Student Government. “I find out what it was like to attend high school in Taiwan, and she hears me talk about growing up in a Southern city.” Novick said she has also learned from her relationship. When Smith visited her hometown, she said she became more aware that racism still exists. “Back home I’ve never been pulled over, and he got pulled over about five times when he was visiting me,” she said, adding that young people tend to be less judgmental and more idealistic than the rest of society.

Police catch man accused of 2 assaults near Perkins

From staff reports Two female students were assaulted near Perkins Library Monday night and early Tuesday morning by a man who police later apprehended, said Maj.

Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. The first student reported she was assaulted around 10:50 p.m. Feb. 7 when she was walking IT from Perkins toward the i Chapel. A man stepped in her way and hugged her. Frighti—ened, she quickly continued walking toward her vehicle. The man began to follow her, but then stopped. Later, at around 1:15 a.m. Feb. 8, a second woman saw a man standing midway down the flight of stairs near the elevator in Perkins, As she passed the man, he grabbed her hand, put his arm around her shoulder and mumbled something. She pushed him away and continued downstairs, into the women’s restroom. The man followed her into the bathroom

and stood

between her and the door. As

she tried to walk around him to get to the door, he grabbed her, hugged her and then kissed her. She pushed him away and left the area. Both victims notified Campus Police and described the same suspect. Shortly after, police located the man in the Perkins computer cluster. Forty-year-old Nasir A. Smith, who has no known address, was arrested and charged with simple assault on a female and trespassing. If the second victim confirms that Smith was her attacker, police will likely file more charges, Dean said. Smith was placed in Durham County Jail under a $2,000 bond. His court date is Feb. 22. Smith has been arrested by Campus Police and charged with trespassing several times before, Dean said. He was most recently arrested on this charge Jan. 26 after a visitor reported that he asked her for money as she was walking

Baugh said. In March, the national directors of the project, including Sally Cole, director of the Duke-based Center for Academic Integrity, will be on hand to discuss not only Duke’s individual trends, but to compare those with the national results. “In all, we hope that the campus will have an opportunity not only to find out what the results of the survey were but also what they mean for our future direction,” Baugh said. He said he plans to use the results to re-examine Duke’s Honor Code. The six-year-old code has been criticized as weak for separating academic integrity from social integrity and for being limited to undergraduates. “In the spring discussions, we’re going to introduce the social integrity issues for the first time in the context of our purely academic honor code,” said Baugh. “We plan to devote serious attention to the question of whether the Honor Code needs to be reformed.” A plan is also in progress to develop a guide that faculty can use to address academic integrity issues in

The University should make the financial aid office more cosmetically appealing until substantive change is possible

Visiting

the financial aid office is always a stressful experience for students and families alike. Talking with a complete stranger about yearly income, demonstrated need and making ends meet is uncomfortable enough. Parents who enter this office are attempting to make their children’s dreams of a Duke education a reality. These pressures do not need to be compounded by an inadequate facility. The University’s financial aid office may be adequate, but it certainly is not inviting. At approximately 2,000 square feet, it is much smaller than financial aid departments at peer institutions. Its home, a house on Campus Drive, was originally built for a family of four. Now, 17 employees work in the office. There is no lobby where families can wait comfortably for their appointments. And once these appointments begin, the crowded individual offices provide little room for larger families to discuss their situations with financial aid advisers. The last thing the University should do is create the perception that families on financial aid aren’t valued. Especially because of the sensitive nature of financial aid, the office’s climate is incredibly important. But, even given the validity offinancial aid officials’ concerns, we have reached a point in the history of the University when several offices, departments and units need to expand their facilities. For example, right now there aren’t enough beds to get students out of Trent Dormitory, or enough shelf space in the libraries to get all the University’s books onto campus. Administrators must carefully choose which areas need immediate expansion and which problems can wait a few years. Expansion of the financial aid office fits into the latter category. Fortunately, the problems faced by the financial aid office are primarily cosmetic, not structural. Instead of overhauling the facility, it makes financial sense to touch up the the existing office and make it a more appealing, welcoming place. The office’s actual space limitations are most severely exacerbated during several predictable busy periods each academic year—the arrival of freshmen in August, Parents’ Weekend in October and Blue Devil Days in the spring. During these seasonal rushes, the University should provide temporary space on West Campus for financial aid officers to set up shop—much like the Office of Information Technology does during orientation. Although not the most convenient solution, it is most appropriate for an office whose most severe problems show up only a few times a year. A pleasant financial aid office should be a University priority, but there are other solutions beside build, build, build. A quick make-over could do wonders for the office until the University can afford to expand the facility.

Separating social class from skin color Society’s problem lies in classism, Into the Fire Marko Djuranovic Now that the dust raised by John Rocker’s comments has begun to settle, it’s time we take a close look at racism in our society and realize that we’re focusing on the wrong -ism. Although it is an important issue, what we should be focusing on isn’t racism, but classism. The dictionary defines racism as “a scientifically unsound belief in the superiority of a specific race.” Racism also encompasses any discrimination derived from such beliefs. This definition is very important, because these days the term racism is one of the most commonly misused and overused terms in the English language. Classism, on the other hand, is defined as discrimination based upon social class membership; voe conversely, classism is one of the most racism is underused words. Thus, by its official definition, the

exa ggerated by sensationalist members of the media. If you have trouble believing this, I challenge you to name for me an influential person who buys into theories of white supremacy, or tell me the number of times you’ve witnessed hooded men burn crosses on front lawns. Thus, an overwhelming majority of us don’t deal with or see racism nearly as much as we see classism. The scenario is well documented in the history of any society: The upper class fears it will somehow lose its accumulated power, while the middle class clings to what little it has in an attempt to avoid falling into the ranks of the low-

est class. The lowest class, thoroughly disillusioned and dissatisfied with its substandard living conditions, screams for change. This conflict between the classes is evident in every person who strives to enter the upper class, or at least escape the lower class. Whether we wish to admit it or not, very few of us would have objections to enjoying is lavish possessions and financial security. Moreover, if we race. came to possess such luxuries, an even

not racism

tions of race and class have reached multiple intersection points and started to converge. As a result, stereotypes are unavoidable. Whites are viewed as having a significant presence in all three social classes, Asian Americans are mostly associated with the upper-middle class and blacks are perceived to generally belong to the lower-middle or lower class. When statistical data is published in USA Today showing that blacks compose 10 percent of the national workforce, 4 percent of doctors, 3 percent of lawyers, 2 percent of architects and a staggering 47 percent of the federal prison population, these beliefs are further entrenched. Therefore, when a young black man tries to catch a cab after midnight, he is likely to be ignored a number of times before someone finally stops to pick him up. But despite such facts of everyday American life, it is important to understand that what we think is racism is

actually an example of classism veiled by race—and this subtle difference is crucial. A cautious cab driver doesn’t pass up a black man because he believes in white supremacy or that blacks do not deserve to ride in cars; he keeps driving because he is afraid. In his mind, the cab driver exercises caution because being black has come to imply membership in a crime-ridden lower class. This is why we should focus on classism. The crux of the issue is not that Americans believe in racial superiority, but that each race has become inextricably associated with a specific social class. If we wish to solve this problem, we have to take a hard look at either how we can disassociate social class membership from skin color, or how we can end classism altogether.

Marko Djuranovic is a Trinity sophomore and associate Medical Center editor of The Chronicle.

members of the Ku Klux Klan and other idiots with similar persuasions. I use the term idiots with intent because in this day and age of information, only the most intellectually challenged could still cling to 19th century theories such as social Darwinism or the white man’s burden. Facing a sea of opposing evidence both scientific and eyewitness—only the most ignorant and backward believe that skin color is a factor in evaluating the content of someone’s character. As such, real racists are a distinct minority in our society, but their power is greatly —

would be willing to exchange them for a $15,000 annual income, a beat-up Chevy and a home of depreciating value located somewhere other than the suburbs. In this country, it is especially difficult to spot classism because the middle class is huge, the lower class fairly small and the upper class infinitesimal. Nevertheless, classism is certainly present, perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that one rarely sees people of different social classes hanging out together—especially at Duke. The problem then is that our concep-

Instead, Wise argues that apes’ intelligence is ridiculous. He gets around it by proposing only three what sets them apart. Apes in captivity show a wide simple provisions for great apes, the first being the right range of human-like behaviors, and even in the wild, to life. This is already largely covered by the they have clearly defined social structures and advanced Endangered Species Act. His second proposal is that ways of living. (Wise makes no mention of other highly apes should have the right to liberty. Quick, storm the zoos and open the cages! intelligent animals, like dolphins.)

His third reform is the wackiest: the right not to be tortured without informed consent. Great Britain and New Zealand have already banned experimentation on apes, and I’m all for it. But if apes can give fully informed consent to anything at all, perhaps we should be rethinking cladistics. Wise also backs up his three reforms by noting that children and the mentally incompetent are classified as persons, although in some cases they may have less capacity for rational thought than chimps would. (Scientists estimate that a chimp can reach the intelligence level of an eight-year-old child.) I’m tempted to whip out the definition of species for him, because he seems to have forgotten it. He also doesn’t really address how any of this applies to animals in the wild. Certainly wild apes have the same capacity for “morals” as captive ones do; the only substantive difference between wild and captive animals is luck. But if tame animals are the only ones currently considered property, are they also the only ones who get classified as persons? The Great Ape Project's web site asserts that apes “quite evidently possess many of the characteristics that we consider morally important.” But barring some unforeseen genetic melding, apes will never be a part of human society. Of course, there are many humans who probably would have felt mentally at home among the australopithecines (John Rocker and Mike Tyson spring to mind), and plenty of apes who make much better dinner company than said humans. But to imply, however indirectly, that animals are people too? That’s monkey business. Save the apes, but let’s not get too carried away. Mary Carmichael is a Trinity junior and editor of TowerView.

�ISRAEL from page 2

urged that all sides refrain from attacks on civilians. That thinking seemed to prevail, at least in the light of day. Israel’s second bombing, late Tuesday, targeted guerrilla strongholds. And by Tuesday evening, no Katyusha rockets had crossed the border to land on Qiryat Shemona or other northern Israeli towns. That surprised many Israelis who expected the typical pattern of cross-border retaliation for Israeli shelling. They wondered aloud if the guerrillas were being belatedly restrained by Syria or by the Lebanese government. Radio Damascus accused Israel of deliberately torpedoing the IsraeliSyrian peace effort, which the Syrians froze last month. Advisers to Barak said the negotiations could not resume until Syria held back Hezbollah, but Barak continued to express optimism that the process could be renewed. In northern Israel, many residents who are tired of the cycle of violence chose to flee southward rather than wait for a rocket to fall. Schools, factories and stores were closed, and Barak declared a state of emergency in the region. On army orders, tens of thousands of others crammed into all too familiar air raid shelters, where the anxiety was as thick as the boredom was enervating. By late evening, after the death of

the sixth soldier was made public in Israel, radio reports hinted that the bombing might be renewed. They said Barak, who is also the defense minister, was conferring by phone with his security Cabinet to determine his next move. In Lebanon, where Israeli bombs destroyed the transformers that provide electricity to Beirut, Tripoli and Baalbek, many Lebanese were stunned. They had justfinished repairing the damage caused by the last large Israeli air strike, a more deadly one that hit some of the same power stations last June. They said they felt that they were knocked off their feet again. Israeli army officials said the last bombardment, which was ordered by the outgoing prime minister, Bern jamin Netanyahu, had served to deter the guerrillas for months. That bombing caused an estimated eight deaths and scores of wounded, compared with reports of 18 wounded Tuesday. “Verbal messages alone do not achieve the aim” said Maj. Gen. Giora Eiland, the army’s head of operations. “Thus we had to act.” In 1999, 13 Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon. Army officials had begun to declare victory over the guerrillas until the fighting intensified in the last month. They say the guerrillas, facing Barak’s pledge to withdraw Israeli troops by July, are pushing for an impressive llth-hour showing in the chronic conflict.

Duke, Maryland enter contest riding hot streaks The Blue Devils are perfect in the ACC, but Maryland has won five of its last six in conference. By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle

One of the most widely used cliches in sports is that there is no “I” in team. Nevertheless, there will be a lot of interesting individual matchups when No. 23 Maryland (16-6, 5-4 in the ACC) visits No. 3 Duke (182, 9-0) tonight in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Each team features a star forward, an electric freshman

point

guard and

a rapidly

improving young center. The two teams also share something else: they are both currently playing their best basketball of the season. Duke is coming off two victories in a three-day period against UNC and Virginia, while Maryland has won five of its last six ACC contests after starting the conference season 0-3. coach Gary “[Maryland Williams] has probably done as good a job as anyone in the league,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “After losing some heartbreaking games at the start of the conference, he has really got his team going.” Maryland’s sudden turnaround seems directly tied to the development of center

Lonny Baxter, who has averaged 19.8 points and 7.7 rebounds during the streak. Baxter had the best performance of his collegiate career Sunday against N.C. State, gathering ten rebounds to go along with career highs of 31 points and seven blocked shots. “What has been happening is Lonny has gotten stronger,” Williams said. “He has added weight to the point that he’s added muscle now. “He’s just overpowering people, and he’s so quick for his size. It’s rare for a 265-pounder to be able to out-quick guys.” It’s no secret where the Blue Devils need to improve the most, especially with the Terrapins coming to town. “We have to be a much better

rebounding team defensively,” said sixth man Mike Dunleavy. “That’s been a weakness for us all year long.” Baxter grabbed 16 rebounds and Morris collected 13 in Duke’s 80-70 victory in Cole Field House last month. Led by Baxter and Morris, who both average nearly nine boards per contest, the Terrapins are the best rebounding team in the league. While Duke focuses on rebounding, Maryland needs to worry about Duke’s propensity to come out strong.

Lateness isn’t necessarily a bad thing for men’s tennis player Doug Root. Root, who began playing tennis whenhe was already 11years

“We have as good a chance as anyone to win an NCAA tournament,” said Root. “That’s one of my goals here at Duke, to try and win the team tournament. I don’t necessarily want to settle for less than that.” When Root came on to the scene as a freshman, he was only ranked 33rd on the junior circuit.

where it is today. And his late start in tennis doesn’t look like it hurt him at all. “I would like to think that I contributed to our getting to No. 2 in the nation [last season] ,” said Root, a senior. “I try to make sure that I am at the top of my game all the time.” This year, the Blue Devils are currently ranked fourth in the nation. If the end of this season turns out anything like the beginning, the possibility of the program’s first-ever national championship looks very promising.

HARRY CLARKE scored six of Duke’s nine points when he pinned North Carolina’s Andrew Slack during the Tar Heels’ 31-9 pounding of theBlue Devils.

Another loss adds to Duke’s frustrations By NEAL MORGAN The Chronicle

31 CHAPEL HILL Heading into the start of the ACC season last night, the Duke 9 wrestling team was desperately hoping to turn its season around. But if the Blue Devils were looking for sympathy, they weren’t going to find any at North Carolina’s Carmichael Auditorium. The Tar Heels (5-4,1-0 in the ACC) won the first four bouts and jumped out to a 16-0 lead en route to a 31-9 drubbing of Duke (1-8-1,0-1). “I’m frustrated,” coach Clar Anderson said. ‘T thought we’d compete a little bit better. In the weights that they blew us away, we thought we were going to keep it closer, and some of the close matches all went their way.” The Blue Devils found themselves in a 10-0 hole heading into the 133-pound weight class, which featured Duke’s Luke Palmisano against Brad Byers. The two dueled to a scoreless first period, but the fight quickly turned in favor of the Heels. Byers racked up four quick points and then pinned Palmisano at 1:04 in the second period to give UNC an insurmountable 16-0 lead. “Brad Byers is a nationally ranked kid,” Anderson said. “Everything was going as planned until he caught [Palmisano] in that pin. Luke was really surprised he was pinned, but I was really pleased up until then.” UNC

In the next bout, Harry Clarke finally put Duke on the board when he pinned Andrew Slack. Clarke raced

to a 5-2 lead after the first period and managed his pin 1:13 into the second, which made him Duke’s high scorer for the match. “We were really pleased by Harry Clarke’s performance,” Anderson said. “Harry’s having a tremendous season. He has a very competitive attitude, and close matches he wins, and he wins with pins. He’s got that attitude that I wish I could somehow put into all the other folks.” North Carolina scored the match’s next 15 points, capped by Corey Bell’s technical fall ofMatt Hoover in the 174-lb. weight class. Hoover was never in the bout, falling behind 9-1 after two periods. The third period was more of the same as Bell closed with a three-point near fall and a two-point near fall to win the bout 16-1. In the match’s final bout, Thomas Cass scored Duke’s second win, defeating Nick Richmond 3-2. But the damage had long since been done. The loss to the Heels represents another setback on what has been a frustrating season for Anderson and the Blue Devils. Injuries have forced considerable lineup shuffling, and last night was no exception. Geoff Anderson, normally a 141-pounder, had to fill a gap at 157, where he lost by major decision. “We’ve had a real rough season,” Anderson said. “We got guys who are wrestling up a weight class and competing real well, some keeping the match close. I’m real pleased with the fight on our behalf, but I was wanting to steal a couple more from them.”

Derrick Thomas, the Kansas City Chiefs’ Pm Bowl linebacker known for his ferocious play on the field and his charity work off it, died suddenlj yesterday morning in a Miami hospital nine days after a car crash had left him paralyzed from tiii chest down. Doctors said Thomas suffered from cardiorespi ratory arrest while being transferred from his bet to a wheelchair on his way to a therapy session. Thomas’ death surprised the physicians wht were working closely with the former NFL star. Dt Frank Eismont, a neurosurgeon at Jacksoi Memorial Hospital, said he believed that Thomas died from a pulmonary embolus, which is a bloot clot traveling through the lungs. The 33-year-olt linebacker had been taking blood thinners ant wearing compression stockings to prevent such clots, Eismont said, but that doesn’t always keep them from occurring. “This is a total shock,” said Dr. Barth Green, chair man of the department of neurosurgery at Jacksor, Memorial. “We had a medical team there within sec onds, but there is nothing that could be done.” Eismont, who, along with Green, operated or Thomas after the car crash, said: “He’d been doing extremely well. This past weekend he had even beer out of the hospital. Therapy had been going fine. Hi was actually progressing probably better thai expected for someone with his level of paralysis.” Eismont said that Thomas was being movei from his bed to begin his daily physical therapy which he began over one week ago. Thomas, Greet said, was speaking to his mother when suddenly Thomas’ eyes rolled back. Medical officials deter mined that Thomas was having a heart attack am after working on him for at least 30 minutes, hi was pronounced dead. “He had just been transferred from his bed ti the wheelchair,” Eismont said. “He muttered a few words to his mother like, ‘I don’t feel very well,' and then literally one or two seconds later, she looked at him and his eyes were rolled back. It was apparent that he had passed out. At the time they essentially called a nurse and the nurse immedi ately called an arrest and there was a full-scale attempt at resuscitation with all of the appropri ate things—the medicines—and were never able to resuscitate him.”

You’ve heard the sob storv before. Athletes claim there’s a double standard that holds them more accountable than it does you or me. John Rocker thinks his recent suspension by Major League Baseball is just another example in a long laundry list of victimized athletes. He’s wrong. Rocker’s punishment was not only deserved, it was a long time coming. Professional sports leagues have allowed athletes to get away with way too much for way too long. The phrase, “I’m not a role model, I just play the

it, and his decision was absolutely right. Rocker has since frustrated MLB, the Atlanta Braves organization, his teammates and the fans by appealing the ruling through the players’ union. We’ve all heard why Rocker thinks it’s unfair—he says it was all “locker room humor” and he isn’t racist; he has hidden behind the First Amendment and he says there is no precedent for the length of his suspension.

was fired—not suspended, not fined, but terminated—only days after he told Nightline anchor Ted Koppel that African Americans lacked the intelligence to be coaches or general managers. While Campanis was caught off guard by a surprise question during an interview, Rocker’s comments weren’t made in passing or by chance. They were part of a premeditated attack on the city of New York that he voiced during a seven-hour session with a reporter. If you believe Rocker isn’t racist, go back and read the December issue of Sports Illustrated. It took the Braves reliever one afternoon to insult single mothers, gays, Vietnamese, Koreans and every other minority you can think of. So that was all aimed back at New York Mets fans, right? I guess that’s who he was attacking when he said Asians can’t drive, or when he hurled a derogatory racial slur at one of his teammates. The fact is athletes aren’t like you or me. If we say things like that we only embarrasses ourselves, but when Sports Center anchors read Rocker’s statements while the screen shows the lefty hurling fastballs in a Braves uniform, he humiliates many more than himself. He hurts his team, he hurts everyone associated with the game of baseball, he hurts the city he plays for—and he has to be punished.
