Rejected Maryland brings an end to Duke’s ACC, Cameron winning streaks By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle
Maryland 98 This wasn’t how it was supposed to end—not in Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke 87 and certainly not against Maryland. It had been 46 games and more than three years since Duke had lost a game at home, while Gary Williams and his Terrapins hadn’t won against the ACC’s top team since 1997. But one sizzling minute from Terence Morris ended Duke’s two years of domination in the ACC. When Maryland sophomore Danny Miller triumphantly capped off the Terrapins’ 98-87 upset by hurling the basketball toward the rafters of Cameron, the nation’s longest winning streak and

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle
Administrators temporarily suspended Prßeta Phi sorority yesterday, pending a University investigation into allegations of hazing and excessive drinking. The sorority has undergone scrutiny since a Jan. 31 letter to the editor ofThe Chronicle charged that Pi Phi badly mistreated its pledges at an off-campus bid night party. According to the letter, the pledges were forced to drink excessively, had demeaning phrases written on their bodies and had to walk a mile home during a snowstorm. Administrators are also probing alletions of overconsumption at a Pi Phi mixer with Phi Kappa Psi fraternity Fri-
Duke’s 31-game conference winning streak both came to a screeching halt. “You don’t want it to end, but streaks come to an end,” senior Chris Carrawell said. “Now we have to start another one. I think it was a great run, but it was sad that it ended on our home court. Any team can be beat on any given day. Tonight, it was their night. They outplayed us from start to finish.” While third-ranked Duke (18-3, 9-1 in the ACC) seemed to relax with a four-game lead in the ACC, Williams had his team ready to play from the
opening tip. “They deserve to be No. 3; they’re a great basketball team,” said Williams, who had never won in Cameron during his 11-year tenure at Maryland. “I
thought we caught them at the right time. I felt like the more and more they talked about the streak, I
felt it was our time.” Although No. 23 Maryland (17-6, 6-4) led

From E.E. to Young Trustee? Pratt senior Brian Stempel would like to use the three-year term as Young Trustee to influence master plan, facilities This is the second story in a three-part series profiling the Young Trustee candidates. By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle
Finding time to pursue several extracurricular interests is never easy, especially when juggling a double major like computer science and electrical engineering. But Pratt senior Brian Stempel has handled this workload with ease, even finding the time to become heavily involved in Duke Student Government. Youno Stempel, one ofthree Young Trustee finalists, said he believes he is wellqualified for the position because he ■" ; has worked for two years with members of the Board of Trustees. Tm one of two [DSGI student representatives who meet with the committees,” said Stempel, who served as a student representative to Board’s Academic Affairs Committee last year and is now on the Board’s Student Affairs Committee. “My biggest goal would be to take advantage of the fact that I’ve had two years to get to know members of the Board.” Of his four years with DSG, he has spent

three as a legislator. He has served as a member of Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, helped draft the bylaws for Krzyzewskiville in spring 1998 and created his own position as director of DSG computing. His involvement does not end there, however, “My favorite unofficial position has been helping to run Krzyzewskiville,” he said. “I find myself out there many more hours than anyone would ask of me.” But the transition from DSG devotee to Young Trustee could be a difficult one for Stempel.‘The Board has made it clear that their j°b is not to micromanage, to provide guidance,” he said. ' “Staying within the core job responsibility may be somewhat of a challenge, just because it will be so tempting to try to dig deeper.” Stempel would most like to serve on the Board’s Buildings and Grounds Committee, which he feels will play a critical role as the University’s master plan is implemented over the next few years. He said he would particularly enjoy discussing the long-term future of Trent Dormitory and Central Campus. See STEMPEL on
