Carter stresses value of center

Trinity junior Jordan Bazinsky won yesterday’s Duke Student Government presidential election by a wide margin, but candidates in several races filed complaints with the election commission late last night. Just before 3 a.m. Friday, presidential candidates and Trinity juniors Jim Lazarus and Evan Holod and vice president for community interaction-elect Rob Leonard filed complaints with the

When Duke and Carolina met in Chapel Hill in early February, Duke took a 19-point lead only to see the Tar Heels force overtime. The Blue Devils eventually prevailed 90-86, giving Duke its first four-game Tar Heel winning streak since the 19605. After the game, Carrawell called it one of the rivalry’s top three games of all time, and the best that he’s ever been in. That’s saying something considering the games Carrawell

Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter helped inaugurate the $13.5 million Duke Institute on Care at the End ofLife Thursday, stressing the benefits of providing quality care for the dying. Carter is the honorary chair ofthe Last Acts organization, a coalition of 450 groups committed to caring for patients who are nearing the end of their lives. With her involvement in Last Acts, Carter hopes to make palliative care the norm in the medical community. “We have learned that the [majority of the] general public does not know what palliative care is,” Carter said. “It seeks to make the patient’s last days and weeks... as comfortable as possible.... It is emerging as the way to care for people that are terminally ill.” The terminally ill will be among the main foci for the new institute, which Duke officials hope will become a national leader in improving care for the dying. Created in January through a $13.5 million gift coordinated by Hugh Westbrook, Divinity ’7O, the institute is centered in the Divinity School and includes faculty from Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine. The institute also announced Thursday that it had received two new gifts totaling $650,000. In an afternoon news conference, Carter talked about her experiences caring for the sick and dying in See

those that remained posted for much of the day, could not be reached for comment after the complaints were submitted. Earlier in the evening, he said he was excited about the election’s outcome. “[Current DSG President Lisa Zeidnerl told me on the phone, and I asked her if she was lying,” Bazinsky said, his face still red with excitement as he bounced in a chair at the DSG office. “I have a lot of respect for the people I was running against. This was a total shock.”

N.C. State student dies in apartment fire

In light of the Michigan

By WARREN HOGE

N.Y. Times News Service

LONDON

former Chilean dictator was announced by Home Secretary Jack Straw. Straw told the House of Commons that he was ending the complex legal and judicial case because ofthe failing health of Pinochet. Four European countries had been seeking the general’s extradition, with Spain wanting him sent to Madrid to stand trial on charges of torture dating from his authoritarian rule of Chile from 1973-90, when more than 3,000 people died or disappeared. In letters to ambassadors of the four countries made public Thursday, Straw argued that the general’s declining health had produced a “memory deficit” that would have compromised his ability to understand charges and direct his attorneys. The Pinochet case will be remembered and cited long after its swift and undramatic end Thursday. Its most significant legacy is a fundamental change in international law that gives universal jurisdiction to the prosecution of crimes that are considered human rights atrocities. Straw had first signaled his intention to make Thursday’s move in January after medical tests conducted by four British specialists claimed that the general was unfit to stand trial. Spain, France, Belgium and Switzerland challenged that finding, and Straw was subsequently ordered by a three-judge panel ofBritain’s High Court to send the four governments the records of the medical examination.

GEN. AUGUSTO PINOCHET, in a photo taken last September, was released from house arrest in Britain due to his ailing health. None of the governments or human rights organizations that had mounted legal challenges to Pinochet’s release pressed to bring an appeal to Thursday’s final decision in the scant time available before Pinochet could leave Britain. To rights groups, the rulings that emerged in the Pinochet case amounted to a coming of age for international law, a framework that has gradually shifted from the notion that states do not interfere in each other s affairs to a belief that human rights transcend

Hundreds of Durham schoolkids spend day at Duke By REBECCA YANG The Chronicle

Early Thursday morning, wide-eyed

students filed into Cameron Indoor Stadium greeted by cheerleaders and sounds of the band playing. The students weren’t the Cameron Crazies, but perhaps they will be in the future. Five hundred students and teachers representing all of Durham’s public middle and high schools spent the day listening to speakers, taking campus tours and attending information sessions. Organized by the Office of Community Development, “Schools Day” is part of a series of events celebrating the University’s 75th anniversary. “It was really different from what I expected from such a large university,” said Tekia Banner, a senior at Southern High School. “But everyone was really nice and I had fun.” By bringing teenagers from the community to the campus, organizers said Duke hopes to expand its partnership with Durham Public Schools. “This is something that we haven’t really done before,” said Susan Kauffman, an assistant in the office of public affairs who organized the event. “A lot of the kids haven’t been to Duke.

President Nan Keohane spoke to the students about the campus’ beauty and richness, encouraging them to visit any place on campus at any time. She especially emphasized the Chapel, the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and the gargoyles. Although there are several outreach events with the Durham Public Schools throughout the year, Keohane said this event was geared to help the students become familiar with the University’s facilities. “It is designed to let middle and high school students see Duke as a comfortable place to be,” she said. Sporting bright yellow shirts throughout the day, a staffof University students and faculty served as volunteers. “I think [the kids] got the chance to be exposed to a lot of diversity,” said volunteer and Trinity sophomore D.J. Bolden.

Provost submits draft of long-range plan to Trustees By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

One year before his ultimate assignment—the University’s long-range academic plan—is due, Provost Peter Lange presented the Board ofTrustees with his first draft at their meeting last weekend. “The theme is delivering on our promise,” Lange said. “We have the opportunity to do that right now. We have exceptional leadership on campus, we have the resources, we have substantial intellectual motivation in our faculty across schools and we have strategic planning developing across and within schools.” The theme is designed to reflect the plan’s significant differences from the 1994 “Shaping our Future” report, whose broad, sweeping priorities were never really implemented. Lange’s plan, however, will present specific goals to which the University will commit significant financial resources from the capital campaign.

be reallocated or renovated. Trask stressed that by sitting in on the academic planning meetings, he is able to account for future expenditures in his own budget. Each of the University’s schools are at different points along the planning path, from compiling departments’ requests to drafting finely crafted documents

The presentation to the Board comprised five documents about the plan; the provost’s reflection piece, an outline of the plan’s principles, a summary of the working groups’ and schools’ planning, a piece linking the priorities to resources and a concluding piece by Executive Vice President Tallman Trask outlining auxiliary commitments that will need to support the plan. “It was an attempt to anticipate some of the issues that may be coming out of the academic plan that we need to handle administratively,” Trask said, adding that his draft was preliminary. “Are there things that have come forward that we’re not going to be able to do? I don’t think so, but I want to be able to get ahead of that.” During this planning, academic officials must strike a delicate balance with their non-academic counterparts. For every new initiative, new space and new money must be found. For every reprioritization away from one department and into another, offices and classrooms must

that have already gained broad-based faculty support. “We’ve had very good ongoing communication with our office and the deans,” Lange said. “Now we’ll recharge them, taking what they developed in the fall, what we were asking and reflecting on their plans.” The working groups, which are exploring interdisciplinary initiatives and priorities, have generated perhaps the most well-developed plans and certainly those that have garnered the most enthusiasm. Largely sciencebased, these cross-school proposals would engage faculty from different disciplines to think about a single topic See

Psych class combines many fields to explore alcohol Many students say Alcohol; Brain, Individual and Society is more effective than traditional health education By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

If there’s one thing college students know, it’s that cheesy posters and dumbed-down pamphlets won’t stop them from getting trashed. But if Psychology 102—Alcohol: Brain, Individual and Society—is taken as the prototype, maybe academic research and scientific information will Jointly taught by Scott Swartzwelder, a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and three experts in history, psychiatry and public policy, Psych 102 explores alcohol’s social and scientific effects: a topic particularly relevant in light of the University’s current discourse on drinking. “What’s unique about this [course] is the idea that a university ought to bring its academic muscle to bear on this issue of drinking...,” Swartzwelder said. “That approach might not work as well in a different population not oriented toward an academic message or who don’t really trust the process of science.” At the end of the course’s first segment, which focused on neuroscience, Swartzwelder conducted an experiment. He asked his 30 students to rate how much their newly acquired scientific knowledge affected their own behavior. On a scale from one to five, with one being no change and five being a completely altered perspective, the class average was three—that the information would moderately change their behavior, or at least the way they thought about it. “The scientific explanation, and

more specifically the observed effects... of alcohol use on the brain, certainly has made me think about what exactly I’m putting into my b0dy...,” Trinity junior Jon Bae wrote in an e-mail. “It’s kind of scary knowing that drinking as a young adult, particularly in the ways in which college students so frequently do, may create permanent learning and memory deficits in addition to the other more well-known intoxicating ef-

fects of alcohol.” Other students agreed. “I still choose to consume alcohol, but I am a bit more conscious of alcohol’s effects and I am a bit more reluctant about heavy drinking,” said Trinity sophomore Pete Fishman. Although she has not conducted a poll, Cynthia Kuhn, a professor ofpharmacology and cancer biology who teaches Pharmacology 170: Drugs, Brain and

Behavior, said her anecdotal evidence also shows that students’ may drink more cautiously. “I tell them a lot of things about alcohol that surprise them..., and I think that does affect their behavior...,” Kuhn said. “It changes some people’s behavior when you present credible information. They’re accustomed to hearing the hysterical: ‘Oh, it kills a million neurons!”’ Swartzwelder said he did not go into this course attempting—or expecting—to modify students’ behavior, “I don’t believe in trying to change people’s attitudes,” he said. “I’m a scientist and a clinician, and my attitude always is [that] you give people the facts

and if you give people facts in a truthful way, they will use them to make their own decisions. And those decisions will be healthier.” But Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson conceived of this multifaceted course to put a practical use to the University’s academic resources. The course concept will not die at the end of the semester: Next year, Thompson will emphasize the connections between Psych 102 and other existing

classes like Kuhn’s, and he expects to develop two capstone courses that involve experiential or service learning to complete the cluster. “I was impressed with the newer information about the effects of alcohol and believed if we could make that... find away into the curriculum, then this would have utility,” he said, Thompson, a developmental psychiatrist, noted that only when scientists See

Clinton creates council to preserve historic Princeville From staff and wire reports In a rare use of executive power, President Bill Clinton established a council to save the oldest U.S. town founded by ex-slaves, saying that the place is too significant for American history to be lost to IV the ravages of a flood. Clinton created the President’s Council on the Future ofPrinceville, a group charged with finding ways to “preserve and protect” the 2,000-resident North Carolina town, which lost 850 homes last September to flooding touched offby Hurricane Floyd.

Golden eagle egg found at raptor center: Workers at the Carolina Raptor Center discovered an egg from a golden eagle in the center’s new aviary. They are now holding their breath in hopes that the baby is born and survives. Few golden eagles exist in the East, and researchers said they have no confirmation that any golden eagle has ever hatched in the wild of North Carolina. If all goes well, the egg will hatch by the end of the month. This bird’s parents didn’t even build a nest, which workers think could be because the birds live in captivity or are injured.

Why limit your caffeine quota to campus coffee shops’ concoctions when Barnes and Noble’s Starbucks beckons? Some students like to study in a coffee shop environment, but feel they can focus better off campus. “I like to study at the [Bryan Center] cafe, but I really like to go study at Barnes and Noble,” says Trinity junior Tasha Winebarger. “I like to get away from Duke to study. I think it takes away the pressure being around some nonstudents and students at other schools.” Trinity junior Tim Hingston added that the bookstore was an especially good place to study during finals week, when the libraries are particularly packed, despite the 15-minute drive down 15501 to the store.

Birds, trees, lakes and a blossom-embellished gazebo—everything that makes the Sarah R Duke Gardens a great place for a Saturday afternoon stroll makes it a great place to study. “[The Gardens] are very nice unless there are a lot of kids running around,” says Trinity senior Priscilla Tu, adding that the natural surroundings increase her attention span. “It’s just pretty and peaceful and sunny. You don’t really get tired because it’s happy.” Trinity sophomore Liz Bateman likes the Gardens when it’s not too windy and she can find a dry and sunny spot. But, Bateman notes, studying in the Gardens is probably more fun than productive.

It may not be where you want to spend your Saturday night, but the Nello Teer J Engineering Library is the building that never sleeps. “I like [Jeer’s] atmosphere because people are always there,” says Trinity sophomore Edmond Magny. “They’re always studying. No matter what time of night, people are always there to keep you company.” Teer is the place where engineers and computer science majors suffering from stress-induced narcolepsy can let their unusual sleep patterns aid their studying. Magny, a computer science major, says Jeer’s computer clusters equip him to do all the work he needs to do. “

Gothic Reading Room The most somber work of Gothic architecture on campus may not be the Chapel. It could very well be the Gothic Reading Room. With the Perk about 20 paces away, the Reading Room has become a favorite studying hideout for many. “It’s quiet, but there are still some people moving around when you’re bored," says Trinity senior Thomas Burns. “When you get into reading it’s nice to sit back and collect your thoughts. And it’s helpful to have people mulling about.” But Burns, like many others, feels the room is sometimes too quiet and even eerie. “I’ve never been in the Gothic Reading Room, but its reputation scares me,” says Trinity senior Emma Russell, “It's really quiet... too serious and just too studious." Various other library study rooms like the laid-back Deryl Hart Reading Room in Perkins and the ChinesethemedThomas Room in Lilly are also popular haunts.

Many candidates argue DSG mishandled election DSG RESULTS from page 1 executive candidates ordering them to remove all their fliers within 150 feet of polling stations. However, DSG election bylaws place this responsibility in the

election commission’s hands. Regardless, many candidates did not read the e-mail until it was too late. At 1 a.m. Friday, Stapleton acknowledged that fliers remained posted too close to the polling stations until the afternoon. However, she could not be reached for comment after the complaints were filed. Each of the complainants are asking for a re-vote, but not Bazinsk/s removal from the race. “With what happened last year and the fact that DSG was trying to run a clean campaign, DSG really dropped the ball this year,” Holod said. Several candidates said that although they told Stapleton about the fliers early in the day, she did not react. The ultimate decision on whether to hold a new election will be filtered through the election commission and, if appealed, the DSG judiciary. Presidential candidate Travis Gayles, a Trinity junior, will submit a separate complaint this morning, he said, that will be aimed at DSG’s “inefficient and inappropriate conduct.” He was particu-

larly concerned about Stapleton ignoring candidates’ election-day complaints, as well as misspelling names or listing them incorrectly on the ballot. Lazarus’ second complaint refers to his name’s appearance as “Laz” on the ballot. He said he asked Stapleton via email to list him as “Jim ‘Laz’ Lazarus.” “She told me she put it together at 5 a.m. and only remembered the Laz part,”

he said. “I think there were a lot of factors at play in the election and I don’t think Jordan did anything specific, I just know the election was poorly handled and poorly run and the result may not have been the same in an informed election.” Stapleton said she did not realize that Lazarus wanted more than just “Laz” to appear and that election officials wrote the candidate’s full name at all the polling locations by mid-aftemoon.

The results DSG election bylaws allow candidates to win either by gamering a majority of the votes or by outstripping their closest competitor by at least 6 percent. Surprisingly, a candidate in each race met this standard—there will be no runoffs. Leonard reached this threshold in the four-candidate race for vice president for community interaction. Both the executive vice president and vice president for academic affairs races were decided by only four percentage points. Trinity freshman Joshua JeanBaptiste beat out Trinity sophomore Daryn Dodson, and Trinity junior Jason Bergsman—who just returned from abroad—beat incumbent Drew Ensign, a Trinity sophomore. Trinity freshman Emily Grey won the facilities and athletics contest by a landslide, and Trinity junior Jasmin French was re-elected vice president for student affairs after running unopposed. “I’m very excited about the potential for a very eclectic group dynamic,” French said. “I definitely don’t want people to see me as the last person to contact on something. It will be nice to be a resource, but

not the source. I am a walking example of someone coming from the outside and doing well.” Leonard, current student co-director of the Community Service Center, is the only winner with no prior DSG experience. He spent his evening listening to music in his room and watching hailmates peek their heads in periodically to check up on the race. “Everybody kept telling me about not being able to sleep and walking by my room,” he said. “I think I yelled pretty loud [when I found out] and got congratulations from the people who were still awake.” The intense campaign was also a new experience for Grey, a current DSG legislator. “I thought it was so much fun,” she said. “It was a great way to meet people and learn how the system works.... When I found out, I jumped up and down. I was really excited. I just got back from the tent check. This was a good ending to a good night.” For fellow freshman Jean-Baptiste, hearing the result was a great relief, especially because his race was so close. “My friends came out to support me. The [Panhellenic Council] endorsement helped a lot,” he said. “Who knows what I did to give me that extra 2 percent.” Like Jean-Baptiste, Bergsmah was relieved to be finished with the dogfight his race turned out to be. “I’m very pleased. I’m very tired, but very well pleased,” he

said. “It’s a great batch ofpeople. It should be a tremendous year for DSG.” Bergsman said he would hit the sack and celebrate in the morning. But Bazinsky had been awake for two days straight, and did not plan to slow down after the election. He was planning to hit some bars in Chapel Hill in the early evening, but ended up jogging and lifting weights to relieve his anxiety. Now, he will cancel his summer plans to bartend in Ireland. “I found the job on the Internet at three in the morning,” he said. “I was going to learn how to bartend, I’ve done it a little bit before... but this is pretty cool, except they don’t have Guinness on tap in the DSG office.” Unofficial write-in candidate Roger Chin, a Pratt junior, got 105 votes overall. Stapleton, a Trinity junior, said that although his tally in the presidential race was greater than that of Trinity sophomore James Evans, the lowest registered vote-getter, his numbers did not count. Write-in candidates must register with DSG in order for their votes to count, and are not allowed to use personal or DSG funds in their election bid. Chin’s friends spent their own money to post his fliers, but since they did not register four days before the election as official endorsers, their actions were considered violations, as well.

her extended family. “My father and grandfayoung],” Carter ther died in pain [while I said. “I have seen so many people who have died in such great pain.” In recent years, she cared for several ill members of former President Jimmy Carter’s family—including his mother, brother and sisters, all of whom had cancer. “It means a great deal to me,” she explained. “I’ve learned through these experiences of caregiving... that [they] can be rewarding, but [also] extremely difficult.” Carter suggested several possible ways to make progress in expanding the reach of palliative care in the medical community. She recommended establishing seminars for employees of corporations in order to prepare them for the care of loved ones. She also remarked that the federal government could pay more attention to palliative care than it has in the past. The institute’s inauguration began Thursday afternoon with a Bryan Center symposium designed to broaden the knowledge of professionals in the caregiving industry. In two speeches and a panel discussion, experts discussed approaching palliative care on both the medical and spiritual levels. William May of Southern Methodist University, who has authored several books on the relationship between medical ethics and religion, stressed the importance of recognizing the needs of the patient in endof-life care. “Events at the end of life pose for patients the question of their identity,” he said. May introduced three key virtues—patience, courage and prudence—that the patient, the patient’s family and the caregivers must have.

Speaking of courage, May remarked that it should be viewed as “passive courage..., [meaning] endurance or perseverance,” even if the patient dies. In his address, May also emphasized the importance of professional education for caregivers.

“Professionals must be educated, not merely trained,” May noted. “Healing is an art, not simply an applied science, and healers need practical wisdom.” Carter also touched upon the issue of professional education, explaining that medical courses should include significantly more information about palliative care than they currently contain. “Most medical schools have some formal course like ‘Medical Ethics,’ but mostly in the form of lectures,” Carter noted. Panelists at the symposium expressed a very broad range of views about the nature of caregiving, and emphasized the importance of the institute’s charge. One panelist called for members of the baby boom generation to “raise the bar” on end-of-life care. “[This institute] allows us to get back to the real issues.... What are we prepared to do when suffering persists?” asked Dr. Ira Byock, director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in New Jersey, which promotes palliative qare. “We must care for one another in [a manner] that is confident [and] compassionate.”

Furthermore, Carter said, it is important to remove the stigma from discussions about death. “One thing in our country is that we don’t like to talk about death... [and we should recognize] that it’s a natural process,” she said. ‘There’s just so much we need to learn... about dying.”

Downtown designs The potential benefits of plans to revitalize the heart of Durham are worth the city’s time and resources

Why

shouldn’t downtown Durham be a viable location for students to go to? Durham Bulls owner Jim Goodmon’s Capitol Broadcasting Co. is hoping to make downtown Durham a place where all the lights are bright, not just the ones at the top of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park and the county jail. And the city and county should support his $2OO million effort by funding the $35 million to $45 million the project will need for additional parking. After all' Goodmon’s plan would transform the currently abandoned tobacco warehouses to include office space, apartments, shops, restaurants and entertainment—breathing new life into what is now a ghostly part of the city. The cycle of downtown devolution and abandonment is a difficult one to break. There is little incentive for a new restaurant or store to open downtown, as opposed to in the proposed mall at Southpoint, for example, because there is nothing else to attract visitors —downtown is not a destination, but a waypoint. But a development project not only provides an organized destination for new entertainment and business within it, but also encourages new development around it. The DBAP was the first step, but politicians must ensure that the momentum for more development continues unimpeded. This project may not address all of Durham’s issues with suburban sprawl and downtown renewal, but it represents a significant step in the right direction. The specific plans for this project are both symbolic and extraordinarily important. They propose to renovate the tobacco plant facilities—the heritage of Durham—and inject new business and activity into their walls. Nothing depresses an area more than abandoned buildings, but nothing revitalizes a town more than a bustling, exciting and quaint downtown district. On any given Friday night, a line of cars jam 15-501 as Durham residents flee to the more lively cities of Raleigh and Chapel Hill. But in several years, with a Triangle Transit Authority rail stop located within walking distance ofthe targeted site, this weekend traffic flow could be entirely reversed, with visitors from other sections of the Triangle making their way into the Bull City. This plan takes what is unique and remarkable about Durham and makes it marketable. Durham’s attempt to evolve from a tobacco town into the South’s technology and research capital could not be better represented. In this vein, it is important that the space does not turn into an office park, devoid of any cultural identity or entertainment attractions. And it is also crucial that the collection of new restaurants and stores are as eclectic and unique as those on Ninth Street. This directed development has the chance to continue Durham’s exciting transformation

Letters to the Editor

Billy Packer derided This letter was originally composed to Sean McManus, Trinity 77 and president of

CBS Sports. However, we felt compelled to bring it to the attention of the student body as well. We had an encounter with a CBS employee two hours prior to the St. John’s game on Feb. 26 in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Billy Packer, a sportscaster of regional in prominence North Carolina, made inappropriate and derogatory remarks toward the two of us as we attempted to do our job in checking the identification of individuals entering through the band and press entrance to Cameron. Packer did not have a press pass displayed when he

women at

attempted to go up the stairs and into the building. When Jen asked for his identification, he responded to the request with a rude remark, and he refused to show a pass. As neither of us knew how to respond to this comment, we sat in stunned silence until Packer spoke again. He asked, “Since when do we let women control who gets into a men’s basketball game? Why don’t you go find a women’s game to let people into?” After asking if we were Duke students and why we were sitting on the stairs, Packer offered us his opinion that our basketball team would “never” win this game and then proceeded to go up the stairs. A stadium official who

St.

John’s game

witnessed the exchange attempted to excuse his behavior by saying, “I think he’s just joking.” Upon hearing this, Packer turned and replied, “No, that’s just the kind of guy I am.” Clearly, we are very offended by these remarks and upset that Packer feels he can treat two young women doing their jobs in this manner. We have requested a public apology from Packer to all Duke students and any others offended by his comments and comments from CBS. Jen Feinberg Trinity ’Ol

Cameron Crazies to have free hairspray Saturday Ever since I came to Duke, I’ve been bragging to all my friends that the Cameron Crazies are the best basketball fans in the world. At Saturday’s game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, you will have the chance to prove me right. Campus Council will provide enough blue hair spray to give over 1,500 students Duke blue hair at the game. The sea of blue heads will

certainly be an unbelievable sight, as no school has ever attempted this. The color shows up best if you have dry hair, and the blue hairspray washes out on the first try with no problem, so nobody has an excuse not to do this. I used the spray on my head last year, and I’m still just as pretty as ever, as was evidenced by my picture in The Chronicle last week. In fact, I’m so confident that it’s safe, I promise to shave

my head if it damages one

person’s hair. Please line up by noon Saturday so we can have enough time to spray everyone. Campus Council is providing the blue hair spray, but we still expect you to provide the Cameron Craziness!

GPSC gives line-up policy for graduate students Tomorrow’s game starts at 3:30 p.m. Representatives

from the Graduate and Professional Student Council will be on the football stadium side of Cameron Indoor Stadium by 8 a.m. tomorrow. You must sign in with a GPSC representative when you arrive at Cameron. At that time, you will need to show the GPSC representative your DukeCard and a basketball season-pass card—you cannot sign in for another student. Random line checks can be made at GPSC’s discretion. If GPSC sponsors a tailgate, you can

get out of line to enjoy the food and beverages. At approximately 1:15 p.m., you will be called to clean up the area and get back in line.

All graduate and professional students will be directed where to go to so that their card can be swiped. The graduate and professional student section has been (and always will be) only section 20 (behind the basket) and seats 1 through 12 of section 17 (the corner across from the Duke bench). Ushers will not allow graduate and professional students to sit anywhere else. You may not save seats for other students. It is not fair for the 300th person to get a better seat then the 50th person simply because their friend was 10th in line. We all must show manners and respect for fellow students. This should go without saying, but in light

of the happenings at previous games, we feel the need to state it explicitly. The lineup area must be kept neat. Dispose oftrash properly! If students arrive at Cameron before GPSC representatives show up, those students should start a list for those who plan to stay until the game. At this point you are on the honor system. Self-policing is strongly encouraged. Lou D’Amico Graduate student, Department of Zoology

Spartacus rides once more _

If you've ever driven to Wal-Mart, South Square Mall or Toys 'R' Us, you've passed the Durham branch of Spartacus—it's a gaudy, faded building bedecked with garish neon, and its inauspicious exterior is enough to leave discerning gourmands scoffing and heading for the Macaroni Grill. But if you don't judge books by their covers—or you know that Triangle newspapers consistently rank Spartacus among the region's best restaurants—you'll know that, while the building is no Parthenon, the food is fit for the gods. Spartacus serves up meat and seafood dishes that will have your stomach begging your mouth for mercy. Until recently, there were three restaurants in the chain—the Durham branch, Carys Spartacus Grille and the original Spartacus in New York. Last month, a fourth Spartacus opened in Chapel Hill, just off Franklin Street at the corner of Church

Vol. 4... Elementary School Musical Last year, Jay-Z scored a huge hit with his hip-hop reworking of "Hard Knock Life," the bittersweet orphans' theme from Annie. This year, the incomparable New York rapper is tackling the theme from another fable of a poor child lifted from a cold, brutal institution to a happy, wealthy family. This time, the song is "Anything," with a hook lifted from Oliver!'s "I'd Do Anything For You." When will the madness end? Well, we're guessing Mr. Shawn Carter won't be happy with lifting tunes from children's musicals when modem computer editing technology could place him right in the middle of the action. These posters promoting some of Jay-Z's upcoming work confirmed our suspicions. —By Tim Millington

** most well-expressed manic depressives of the 1980s and early 90s, here , 1 v J they are with a new album, i I mk Bloodflowers, and many of the same old tricks. \5aL L. The album relies primarily on Robert Smith's slow, depressing vocals, but sometimes fails to lay them against the hopeful, expressive melodies that constituted so many of their past hits. The recipe was powerful when lead singer Robert Smith's voice was as young as his angst, but on Bioodflowers; there's a hint that both have grown old in this most recent, but by no means most significant, work. The first track, Out ofThis World," begins with an elevating guitar/synthesizer duo that is highly reminiscent of "Pictures of You" (one of the band's previous hits, an instance where Smiths morose lyrics were buoyed by what many recognized as real musical originality). It is this last part that is most regrettably lost on the new album. Songs like "Watching Me Fall" and "There Is No 1f..." make us question The Cure's commitment to expanding themselves as a group. One gets a sense that they all had a great crush on some girl in 1985 and never quite got over her. Lyrics like "If you die, she said, so do I, she said.../Tell me I'm forever yours and your forever mine" make the listener want to take this album out of the CD player and take this depressed group out for beers at the Hideaway. Plunging, pensive and sometimes ill-arranged musical backgrounds constantly reinforce the theme of hopelessness that has always pervaded the Cure's work, but fail to elevate it as they once did. In their prime, The Cure succeeded in showing listeners the extremes of human emotion through music. This most recent effort never seems to get out of the emotional basement, and in the end, is an acceptable but forgettable effort from a once great band.

you know what its like to be in love? Love can be a mystical concoction, a foamy, slurred mass of devotion and conflict. It is one of art's most popular topics for a reason: it's deft and inscrutable, elusive and gratifying. And it always, always gets people excited. Turning love into art has been the grand project of Georgia Hubley and Ira Kaplan's many years of marriage. Most couples these days are lucky if they eat dinner together three nights a week; Georgia and Ira formed a band. And not just any band, mind you, butYo LaTengo, one of the underground's most revered stalwarts, a perennial critics' favorite. With uncompromising artistic integrity and laudable perseverance, this couple has sketched a picture of what modern marnage—and the marriage of life and art-can make good in the world. Album after album, this band chronicles one long, brilliant love affair between two people and their music. Today's Yo LaTengo, like many a long marriage, is as mellow and assured as ever. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out is a document of unified complacency, making good on all the band's promises, but rarely venturing into revolutionary territory. The band's eleventh(l) album is lulling and somnolent, too pretty to offend or challenge. It's about falling in love all over again, and you can't help falling in love with it, either. And Then Nothing isn't likely to win over the rock-for-rock's-sake set. It's as quiet as anything the band has done, plunging them deeper into arty, ambient territory. This album has a 17-minute closing instrumental and a muted, do-it-yourself sound to it. Nothing evokes quiet passion quite like Ira's backing vocals on the sugar-sweet "You Can Have It All." They're the type of shamelessness only a husband could want to be capable of; after Ira provides his sweet, measured accompaniment, the couple follows it with a beautiful verse-forverse tradeoff that reaffirms that marriage can be equal after all. Even without obvious, poppy crowd pleasers, And Then Nothing has its standouts. "Last Days of Disco" is a lulling narrative about the lump-in-your-throat moment of love at first sight. Over hushed atmospherics and barely-there guitar noise, the band recounts that brittle, perfect moment like only lovers can. "Our Way To Fan" hums its memories over Georgia's ghostly backup hands held on a park bench in the fall. "Cherry Chapstick," the vocals, soft as album's lone, Sonic YouLh-esque rocker, captures love's nagging ambivalence in a rainstorm of controlled noise. Even on the noisy song, this album is nothing if not pretty. Sometimes its nice to think of love, weighty and complicated as it is. Yo La Tengos all-star couple has been at the game long enough to know it's neither all ice cream cones, nor is it divorce court. Love is all about honesty and memories and telhrig stones. And as the latest chapter in Yo LaTengo's long, satisfying story And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out is sure to keep the pages turning a for a long, long time. □ *

After Kudzu in 1998 and Eleanor / last year, it is Birdy— a play by Naomi Wallace based on the novel by William Wharton—wh'ch is being produced for a 10-day run by a group of professionals assisted by interning Duke students. Birdy tells the story of the friendship between two men, the eponymous title character (played by Wallace Acton) and his friend Al (Grant Show). Birdy, who has always been obsessed with things flying, is committed to a mental institution during World War 11, and Al joins him there in a last-ditch effort to save him. The play goes back and forth in time etween the hospital and the men's boyhood friendship, requiring the casting of different actors to play Al and Birdy as young (Michael men Pitt as Birdy and Bryant Richards as Al) and as children. The other two characters m the six-actor all-male play are Dr. Weiss, Birdy's psychiatrist and Rinaldi, his nurse.

Duke is that mounting a production in North Carolina is significantly cheaper than in New York. Kevin Knight, who is directing Birdy. finds important inspiration at Duke. From his current residence, he can hear a military bugler play Taps at sundown, as well as a train passing by—two important features in the play. night who is British, designed the set for the original productions of Birdy in London and Philadelphia (where the action is set). While working on the play s various incarnations during the last four years, he has become intimate with the drama, yet he believes that "being here puts a distance between me and the play." With new performers like Grant Show (Melrose Place ) and Michael Pitt {Dawsons Creek), he adds, ■’something that's familiar suddenly becomes different. These actors were chosen in a casting in New York they gave outstanding performances. Grant Show (see interview), where example for blew us away with his audition," Voss says. ’ Knight, who was trained in London and directed a company of his While Theater Previews' previous two productions headed to own there for several years, praises the Duke facilities: Here, Washington D.C. for four-month runs, he enjoys is destined for the Big Apple. the luxury of having enormous of space."

Is acting for television and acting for theater different? It's mostly the material. Television is really just for entertainment. To write a play and get it produced is a great undertaking.

tion of Birdy— some of them since last fall—are thrilled by the experience. Carmen Abrazado, who worked with both previous Theater Previews shows, is now an assistant production manager. For her, being a part of Birdy is an "opportunity to experience theater the way it is in 'the real world." Headed for a career as a freelance theater artist, she believes that "it is of the utmost importance for those who intend to do this stuff for a In ing to understand what it's like in a non-aca demic working environment." Melanie Moyer, a senior who is working as an assistant company manager—unpaid, like all 13 student interns—agrees She describes her work as "an excellent opportunity for [Duke] drama students." Amanda Smith, a junior, is considering a career on the business side of the theater industry.

What's the hardest scene you've ever had to do? I'm probably doing it now. This role is really challenging. What did you think of the movie {Birdy, 1984, with Nick Cage and Matthew Modine, and set at the time of Vietnam instead of World War ID? I liked it, but it's a different story. The book is much more complex. But guess to narrow it down to two hours you have to pick and

choose. Why is a show like Birdy here in Durham? Most of the shows that come to Broadway start somewhere else. They start outside of town mainly because it's less expensive to rehearse and work out the kinks outside of town. Duke has been doing this for a while. It used to do it a lot and just started up again. Is there a question that you wish an interviewer had asked you but never has?

Forget the silver-tongued comedian or the dreamy romantic. Titus unleashes the Bard’s bloodier side.

At first glance, the three figures in "Corner Thoughts" seem separated by the three parallel walls.

Across Continents The NC Museum of Art opened its renovated African, Ancient American and Oceanic galleries last week.

With his thinking, contemplative pose—arms folded over each other, resting on the knees, eyes wide open and gazing into the distance—he strongly resembles Rodins "Thinker." But this sculpture was created over a thousand years ago in the Nok culture of Nigeria, a culture so old it is not even known what its members called themselves. The sculpture is one of the centerpieces of the new African, Ancient American and Oceanic galleries that reopened at the North Carolina Museum of Art last week. In a previous incarnation, this exhibition space was originally opened in 1986. But with new donations, the collection ran out of room and renovations were necessary. The new display is much larger and provides greater contextual support. For instance, the African gallery opens with an enormous map of the continent, and a Nigerian costume is supplemented by a video screen showing the dress being used in a performance. All three galleries alternate between individual pieces and environmental cases, which show sev-

eral pieces at once, creating a context in which to compare them. Some are mounted differently than before. An African wood-cutting of a bird, for instance, is now shown on top of a staff, putting it back in its authentic context as a champion cultivator staff (a trophy rewarding farmers for good work) and giving the viewer a new perspective: looking at the bird from below. The Oceanic gallery, dominated by three slit gongs, is the smallest with about 20 works. The African (which does not include Egypt) comprises ritual and utilitarian objects mostly from the western and southwestern parts of the continent. Everything in the Ancient American gallery (renamed from New World) is before 1492. The most prominent sculpture, of a female deity, stood in the museum before, but know she is flanked by an environmental case and timeline. The transformation, as in all three galleries, is quite dramatic. —By Norbert Schurer

Amy Levine's extraordinary art is hard to categorize. She describes it as "three-dimensional figurative constructions [where some] pieces lean more in the direction of • painting, others in the direction of sculpture." Literally, these pieces ip|y jump out at you. The humans figures in Levine's works are shown either in specifically defined moments—after a rain, hailing a taxi—or somehow in touch with each other. In "Ties That Bind," for example, a family of three is walking along what seems to be a precipice, connected with a band of textile. The two parts of "Imagine Summer" —a couple standing in a window and balcony and a mother with two children walking by—are similarly linked by a

ace racism and politics: What’s the connection? ,

The South Carolina flag demonstrates the stretched reasoning involved in race discussions The Brew that is True

David Margolis Chris Rock once joked that the reason why “whitey” designated February as Black History Month was because it is the shortest month of the year. Considering how often race relations has been in the spotlight, one could say that although the second month may be short on days, this year it has been long on evidence that race still dominates

much of the political landscape. One simply could not open a newspaper last month without reading one thing or another about the presidential campaign and the various candidates’ views on affirmative action, racial profiling, Bob Jones University, the trial of four New York police officers for shooting Amadou Diallo and even the antics of Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker. I will admit that I am taking significant liberties by lumping all these complex cases together; however, the one constant that seems to run across each of these cases is that everyone—the candidates, the pundits and the public—is oversimplifying the problem

posed by race. Because people see race too often—and please, pardon my pun—in black and white terms, it is impossible to confront complicated issues without being instantly condemned with a label, like “racist/’“reverse-racist” or “unAmerican

Pointing the “bigot finger” has even spread into otherrealms ofidentity politics, as George W. Bush and Arizona Senator John McCain traded accusations about their alleged prejudices against Catholics and evangelical Protestants.

Whatever logic prompted the McCain campaign to accuse Bush—whose brother is Catholic—of being an “anti-Catholic bigot” just because he spoke at a university that is known for its anti-Catholic (and anti-minority) policies is the same kind of semantic transformation that permitted him and other supporters of the Confederate flag in South Carolina to call it a symbol of Southern heritage. The supporters of the flag would have you believe that the Confederate battle flag has been flying in Columbia ever since the state voted for secession in 1860. They conjure up images of John C. Calhoun and Robert E. Lee—not to mention Bo and Luke Duke —when they spin fanciful tales about states’ rights and keeping the rebel spirit alive. Those who oppose their position are instantly labeled “reverse-racists” for wanting to exterminate the last vestiges of Southern culture. What they fail to tell you is that the flag was raised in the era of Orville Faubus and George Wallace, n.ot Stonewall Jackson. It was a direct response to the passage of the Civil Rights Act and protested school integration, full legal and voting rights for blacks and the ideals of Martin Luther King Jr.—not the advance of Sherman’s army. Perhaps the flag’s supporters are correct in saying the flag represents the state’s commitment to its sovereignty and maverick traditions, but those were the traditions that permitted it to engage in systematic racial prejudice that disenfranchised, enslaved, tortured and murdered its black citizens for nearly 200 years. But the flag still flies on top of the state capitol, representing the Palmetto State, although it is supported by only a minority of South Carolinians. The South Carolina tourism boycott,

Art and politics are inevitably tied in the face of traditional representations of Christ’s mother—but to what purpose, I’m not sure. It certainly comments on the fact that our artistic tradition is biased in favor of “white” figures, and eschews the kind of images Ofili highlights, like excrement and nakedness. In addition, I think it should be Norbert Schiirer interpreted as an attempt to establish an alternative aesthetic standard, one based on African nature rather As The Chronicle’s liberal columnist du jour passe than the European class. and a proud member of The Duke Review’s Hall of Not that I necessarily think that this new standard Shame, I can’t help but come to the defense ofmy latterwould be a good idea—but offering it, and opening a day successor Maureen McClamon, who was attacked discussion about it, is what makes a work like “Mary” in the latest issue of that illustrious publication by Eric Adler, a graduate student in classical studies. What really gets me is not that I completely disis gets me, agree with Adler’s position or that he seems incapable of comprehending a fellow writer’s argument. As a very error matter of fact, I don’t even agree with Adler’s description of McClarnon’s position—that art is supposed to accuses target... be separate from politics. What really gets me, though, is that Adler commits the very error ofwhich he accuses his target—he provides no aesthetic argument. interesting. Now this kind of aesthetic discussion Adler’s comments on Chris Ofili’s ‘The Holy Virgin seems to be something Adler is incapable of entering. Mary” have no substance behind them at all: He says Ip addition to missing his own point, Adler misses that “one need not be Jed Perl to realize... that [Ofili’s] several of McClarnon’s. For example, he claims that work exists as a political provocation only” and he she writes that politics should not interfere with art. answers his own rhetorical question of whether the piece However, a passage from the original article that The has enough merit to warrant hanging in the Brooklyn Duke Review has helpfully reprinted shows that this is Museum of Art with a resounding, “It doesn’t, of course.” not what McClarnon says at all: She says, and I quote, Too bad he doesn’t give us any reasons for either of “No one person should have the power to decide what these claims. the nation should or shouldn’t see.” This is about the Personally, I’m not quite sure what to make of power of one individual (Rudy Giuliani), not about left“Mary,” which shows a black Virgin surrounded by eleor right-wing politics. phant dung and pictures of naked butts from pornoAdler also does not seem to understand the distincgraphic magazines.

Review who comprehends, reproduces and addresses or critiques another’s writing? That would almost be like writing an actual argument. But apart from ail that, I feel the overwhelming need to address the issue where Adler finds an amazing overlap between right-wing ideas about aesthetics and McClamon’s: Both, he asserts, want to separate art from politics. This position, I’m afraid, is just incredibly naive and outdated (it’s hardly surprising that the New Criterion quote Adler gives is from 1982). Sorry Eric, but art has been intertwined with (or tainted by, as you might say) politics since the dawn of time. Artistic statements, or works of art, are not and cannot be made in a vacuum completely apart from the society in which the artist lives. Some art might try to—and succeed in—transcending its time in a variety of ways, yet that merely obscures its origin—but does not erase it. That Shakespeare wrote in Renaissance England, that the Nok ‘Thinker” was created in Nigeria in the last millennium (see Recess) or that Ofili is producing his art now inevitably shape these artworks—and turn them, in some way or other, into a commentary on their time. The sooner you recognize that, the sooner you might be able to create an argument that makes us think, not cringe.

disseminated information about the effects of alcohol on pregnant women did societal norms ultimately change, “This particular topic is one where whatever information [there] is needs to be disseminated,” he said. But academic awareness alone cannot adjust people’s behavior, said Jeanine Atkinson, the University’s substance abuse specialist. “I think there’s a lot to be said for academic educational approaches,” she said. “But that needs to be a component of a comprehensive program.... Once you are under the influence of alcohol, the intelligent side of you slowly goes to sleep. Very smart people make very dumb decisions when they’re drunk.” Still, some students said they’ve had enough of health education in its most trite form. “I think science is so much more effective because I’ve sat through so many substance abuse programs and ‘you shouldn’t drink, blah, blah, blah,”’ said Trinity sophomore Bridget Hartman. “Getting the science behind it is kind of a wakeup call. You realize that when you drink, there are serious biological consequences.”

The Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy is the most ambitious of the proposals and is also the furthest along, with several of its research centers already operational. A project in global change that would include professors from at least four schools is in its early planning stages. “We want to be creating centers of excellence,” Lange said. “We want to be picking things that are intellectually dynamic areas, areas which exist in research in the University and which we can earn external support for if we achieve excellence.” Lange estimated that about $2O million will be available for these interdisciplinary initiatives. Initiatives in nanosciences, life sciences, computational and information sciences are also possibilities. On the humanities side, the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary Studies is already up and running, although it has not yet been assigned a sig-

nificarit physical space. Trent Drive Hall will likely be its new home after the dormitory is shut down as a residence hall in five years. The new plan will also distinguish itselfby allocating funds to individual schools so that they can pursue their own plans. “We’re hoping to be able to put together a level of discretionary resources at the dean’s level for their own strategic planning,” Lange said, “Once you’ve got your priorities identified and your costs identified and once you’ve figured out how to pay for it, the question is how do you deliver them to the point of need.” The University’s endowment money is divided up into more than 3,000 accounts, some ofwhich are more specifically designated toward certain areas than others. Lange said the key for these initiatives is finding discretionary funds that can be used in new projects. Jaime Levy contributed to this story.

“I don’t know what I’m going to say. I might just grab the microphone and start rapping.”

—Chris Carrawell, on his senior speech to the fans.

Carrawell thinks back to previous Carolina games as he prepares for his final home game By ADAM GANZ The Chronicle

Chris Carrawell does not have anyone special coming to visit on Senior Day. Just his mom and his two little brothers and his little sister, of course. Oh, and his high school coach. That’s about it. No, wait, there’s also a couple of high school buddies... and their parents. Oops, forgot about his godmother and his fourthgrade teacher, too. That’s pretty much everyone. Oh, except for his preacher and —how many is it again?—six members of the congregation. Yep, that’s just about everybody. “I’m the only senior... so it’s going to be kind of lonely out there,” said Carrawell, apparently unaware ofthe irony. “It’s definitely going to be emotional.” Indeed, tomorrow’s season finale

against North Carolina will be a dramatic send-off. Carrawell, owner offour regularseason league crowns, is believed to be the first one-man senior class in coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 20 years at Duke. But if the more than 20 family members and friends in attendance aren’t enough,

there will be 9,000 more fans making sure Carrawell’s Cameron goodbye is anything but lonely. “I’ve been through a lot of things here and the fans have always been really supportive of every team we’ve had,” Carrawell said. “I think they appreciate me.” There are larger issues at stake, of course, from North Carolina’s jockeying for ACC tournament position to Duke’s quest for a top NCAA seed. But all that will melt away quickly under the heat of a Saturday afternoon in Cameron.

To a player with a league-record 62 career victories, nothing means more than going out on top—with a win against North Carolina. “It’s always special because of the rivalry,” Carrawell said. “You know, you can feel it.” Carrawell’s first memory of the rivalry is also his fondest: Trajan Langdon scoring

28 points, including 20 in the second half, to snap Duke’s seven-game losing streak against the Heels in 1997. “That was probably the best feeling I’ve had in Cameron,” said Carrawell, who is 6-3 against UNC in his career. “Beating Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter—before those guys were so big—that was the best feeling.” Since that game an entire team has been built up, torn down and rebuilt around Carrawell. He is the lone senior from a class See

Rocker’s return makes for strange day Recruit White By STEVE HUMMER

N.Y. Times News Service

KISSIMMEE, Fla. As John Rocker slipped onto Disney property Thursday morning, he, like everyone else, was greeted at the gate by the likenesses of the Magic Kingdom’s cartoon elite. Bigger than life, there they are, a mouse of color and a duck with a speech impediment. Even here, a lesson in diversity. There is nowhere to escape from life’s delicious differences, a truth being jackhammered home to the Braves’ raked-over reliever. We interrupt the odes to spring to bring you the latest in the saga of a baseball player turned pariah. About 150 media types and half as many Braves invitees were here to witness Rocker’s return. It was no great honor to be part of the former group, as we staked out the parking lot by the light of dawn in hopes of glimpsing his first steps toward redemption. As if his every movement was ofpresidential importance. On top of that, we missed him, Rocker already showing a gift for finding the side entrance that will serve him well this season. This day would have been so much better

spent celebrating the start of spring games, the Georgia Bulldogs in to get some snapshots and take their annual beating. A fine and beautiful day in which the Braves’ phenom in training, Rafael Furcal, went deep his first at-bat. Instead, Rocker came down out of that deer stand where Sports Illustrated left him, exchanged the camouflage for his Braves blues, and commenced trying to get right with his team. No longer a symbol, now a flesh and blood presence. It would be wonderful to report that Thursday was the merciful end of the Rocker ordeal. It also would be wrong. Cali this, at best, the beginning ofthe end. Or, at least, the end of the beginning. First came the meeting with his teammates, and by most reports, it went swimmingly. They seem to be putting more effort into the reconciliation than Rocker himself. “Actually, it was much better than I thought it would be,” Rocker said about the reception. The making over of Rocker has gone so far that Brian Jordan, one of his sternest critics after the offensive SI story, was moved to say, ‘The guy’s gone through a lot. I feel sorry for him.” It’s but a short leap See

According to ACCToday.com, Top-10 recruit James White will attend tomorrow’s Duke-North Carolina game. The 6-foot-6 small forward is considering both schools, but is regarded as a key recruiting piece for UNC especially. White, who attends The Newport School in Kensington, Md., averages over 20 points a game. His agility and leaping ability have drawn comparisons to Vince Carter. Maryland, Connecticut and Florida are also said to be extremely interested in White. “He’s a fantastic athlete who has his

better basketball days ahead of him,” said Dave Telep of RivalslOOhoops.com. “James White is one of the most electrifying players in the class of 2001.”

NCAA blames St. John’s for Blue Devils focus on making delay in Barkley appeal ruling up for Dunleavy’s departure From wire reports

INDIANAPOLIS The NCAA rebuked St. John's University on Wednesday for saying it had been treated unfairly during the investigation of sophomore guard Erick Barkley's eligibility. “In media accounts today, St. John's had given the appearance that the NCAA is holding up the process. Quite the contrary,” NCAA president Cedric Dempsey said in a statement. “What held up the process is that the university did not provide information necessary to make an interpretation of NCAA- legislation. The university has

known there was concern about the eligibility of one of its student-athletes since Feb. 17.” Barkley was declared ineligible Tuesday over how part of his tuition and fees was paid for the 1997-98 academic year at Maine Central Institute. He also missed two games in early February for exchanging vehicles with a family friend. St. John's released a statement during Tuesday night’s 66-60 victory over Seton Hall, in which Barkley did not play, that said it had concluded its investigation into the tuition matter and found no violations. The NCAA disagreed and told the school to declare him ineligible immediately. “I don’t believe it’s in anyone's best interest that there be public disagreement about issues taking place between the NCAA and a member school,” Dempsey said.

“The university's accusation of an NCAA 'guilt before innocence’ stance is inaccurate,” Dempsey said. “St. John’s also has stated it does not believe violations have occurred. “When a university disagrees with an interpretation of rules, it can take the issue to an interpretation committee for review. St. John's declined to utilize this process.” He also said St. John’s did not provide its final report to the NCAA until Tuesday. St. John’s stood by the statement it issued Tuesday night. “I can understand why the NCAA felt the need to defend the process,” St. John’s athletic director Ed Manetta said. Tve read the press release and I have no further comment. “Our focus now is getting Erick Barkley reinstated. We will work with the NCAA to come to a resolution.” In its release St. John’s said Riverside Church, an AAU program for which Barkley played, provided him with support in the amount of $3,150 out of fees and tuition totalling $21,500. “The need for the NCAA or a similar organization is clear. However, the need for appropriate due process and the respectful treatment of all student athletes is just as clear,” St. John's president the Rev. Donald Harrington said in the statement. When Barkley was ruled ineligible the first time, St. John’s coach Mike Jarvis reacted emotionally, using words like “gestapo”, “communism” and “rape.” He issued a public apology the next day for the “rape” remark.

Carrawell stands 12 victories off Laettner’s conference record CARRAWELL from page 17 which originally included higher-touted prospects Nate James (now a redshirt junior) and Mike Chappell (transferred to

|s»

Michigan State).

Now there are seven Blue Devil freshman hoping to feel what Carrawell felt on Jan. 29, 1997. They will be lucky if this game matches up to Carrawell’s in experience first Duke-UNC Cameron —or if it even equals the two teams’ last meeting, a 90-86 overtime Duke win last month. But they will be most fortunate if they can follow in Carrawell’s dominant footsteps for the next three years. The St. Louis native’s 110 career victories are just 12 shy of the Duke and ACC record, held by Christian Laettner. And an ACC player of the year award may be Carrawell’s reward for keeping his patience while those around him lost theirs.

“Coming into this league, I never thought I’d even be considered for player of the year in such a great conference,” Carrawell said. “I guess it’s the model of a guy that stays four years. “Kids nowadays leave after one or two years of school. They want it now instead of working on their game. I wasn’t spoiled. Good things come to those who wait, that’s what my mother always told me.” Carrawell hasn’t given much thought to actual goodbyes. He won’t don a tuxedo like Gene Banks or have his hometown announced as Durham, N.C., like Steve Wojciechowski. And when the time comes to address the crowd, he’ll improvise—just like he does with a baseline drive or a quick pullup jumper. “I don’t know what I’m going to say,” Carrawell said. “I might just grab the microphone and start rapping.”

ANALY SIS

THE NOD

Shane Battier was phenomenal against Clemson, but if Boozer and James get in foul trouble again, Duke could be in for a long day. Boozer cleaned up in February once Haywood got in foul trouble, but he was relatively quiet up until then. Lang is no match for Battier, who torched the Heels for 25 points and 10 boards last time. Chris Carrawell will be fired up to win his last game in Cameron, but the perimeter matchup hinges on how Cota and Williams perform. If Cota’s on his game, he can drive past Williams and cause trouble for Duke. Also, if Williams’ illness worsens and limits his effectiveness, Duke could be ripe for an upset.

Bench

Carolina’s not deep by any stretch of the imagination, and beyond their starters, only Max Owens has played more than 42 minutes this season. But as bad as that is, Duke may be in worse shape. Horvath has played well in the post-Dunleavy era, but beyond him, Duke turns to no one.

intangi

The tents have been up for weeks, it’s Duke-UNC and its Carrawell’s Senior Day. It has for the making of one loud stadium. Carrawell is undefeated against the Heels in Cameron, and he. and everyone in the place, hopes to keep it that way. The infamous Cameron heat could hurt Duke’s tired lineup.

statement, with all the feeling of a man

ordering off a cafeteria menu. Forget the shortened suspension. Rocker’s punishment began this day. As he left the news conference, he was shadowed by mini-cams. A beefy Disney security man tried to keep microphones away while Rocker signed autographs. Peace will come grudgingly. Thursday only started a long process.

EVEN

There’s no denying the Blue Devils are hurting. Signs of exhaustion are starting to show, and any foul trouble will spell instant trouble for Duke’s thin lineup. The key matchup-will be Williams vs. Cota, and the winner of that battle could very well take the game. Carrawell should be able to keep Forte under control and Battier can exploit Lang. The game proves to be another classic, but Duke wins, 87-83. Compiled by Neal Morgan
