Following a roller-coaster week of campaigning and controversy, Trinity junior Jordan Bazinsky captured enough of the student body’s support in Wednesday’s Duke Student Government revote to name him DSG president for the second time in a week. Although the presidential race held steady, there was a reversal of fortunes for the second-in-command; Daryn Dodson came from behind to claim the executive vice president race he lost last week. And the ride is not over yet in two of the other executive races; runoff elections for academic affairs and community interaction will be held the Wednesday after spring break, “I’m really glad the campus had enough faith in me that they chose to reelect me, if you will,” Bazinsky said. Last Thursday’s initial vote was recalled Sunday, after the DSG judiciary ruled that the election commission’s mishandling of the election warranted a revote. Candidates in several races had filed complaints arguing that posters were left hanging near polling stations and candidates’ names were misspelled on the ballots. The election commission chair resigned, and top DSG officials

re-election, but, surprisingly, about 100 more voters participated in yesterday’s election.

In an incredibly tight race for vice president for academic affairs, Trinity junior Jason Bergsman captured just three more votes than Trinity sophomore Drew Ensign. But because of the number of write-in votes, Bergsman did not snag a majority, forcing the runoff. “It’s been something of an emotional roller coaster with an underlying theme, which is anxiety,” Bergsman said. “Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to taking a nice spring break on the beach, a nice rest between my weekly elections, and when I come back, I’ll be ready to meet the next challenge.” Ensign, the incumbent who lost by a narrow margin in the first election, said he is raring to go, although he will appreciate the 10-day break. Still, he said, a third election is “obviously not something I was looking forward to.” ■ The incredibly narrow margin was exacerbated when questions were raised about the process by which DSG officials shut down the voting stations at the Marketplace and Trent Dormitory. Because the DukeCard scanners at the two stations were slated to reset at 7:15 p.m., DSG President Lisa Zeidner and Executive Vice President Rusty Shappley had fleeting concerns that students could have voted twice between then and when the polls actually closed a few minutes later. Although they will formally confirm with the DukeCard office that no one voted twice, the Trinity seniors stressed that the potential for discrepancies was See

Bradley, McCain prepare to leave race McCain will either halt his campaign or withdraw outright, aides say By MIKE GLOVER Associated Press

SEDONA, Ariz. John McCain intends to halt his presidential campaign Thursday, conceding that George W. Bush has a stranglehold on the Republican nomination after Super Tuesday voting, two campaign aides said Wednesday night. In the Democratic race, Bill Bradley readied an endorsement of old foe A1 Gore as he scripted his Thursday exit from the presidential campaign. McCain was not expected to en-

dorse Bush, and it was unclear whether the Arizona senator would end his campaign entirely, or simply suspend his candidacy to preserve his options. At least one senior adviser, John Weaver, has urged McCain to consider launching a third-party bid, but his staff believes that is unlikely. One senior aide said McCain would halt the campaign. Another said he would quit outright. Both spoke only on condition of anonymity.

Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush, nominees-in-waiting, reached

out to their defeated rivals and jabbed at one another as they pivoted toward the general election. Bush labeled the vice president “an agent ofWashington,” and Gore returned the insult, saying Bush was too cozy with the “extreme right” as personified by the National Rifle Association and religious broadcaster Pat Robertson. McCain huddled with senior strategists and major financial backers at his mountain cabin to assess the situation. Campaign events in Colorado and Illinois were canceled. See CAMPAIGN on page 7

Clinton proposes including China in WTO By DAVID SANGER

WASHINGTON

President Bill Clinton sent Con-

gress his bill Wednesday to usher China into the World Trade Organization. He then opened a new front in the debate on the subject in his own party, arguing that opening up China’s markets will undermine Communist Party control. In a speech at the Johns Hopkins foreign affairs graduate school, Clinton tried to float above the bitter economic debate in his party about the wisdom of the deal, and he said little about Taiwan. But he made an argument that opening up China’s economy amounted to a poison pill for China’s communist leaders. “In the new century, liberty will spread by cell phone and cable modem,” Clinton told a crowd that in-

Imagine how much it could change China.” Clinton acknowledged that since the deal was signed four months ago, China’s leaders have tried to control both what kind of content Chinese can access via the Internet, and to prevent foreign ownership of Internet-related companies.

With campaigning focused on fiscal responsibility and public education, the May 2 Republican gubernatorial primary features three main candidates: former Charlotte mayor Richard Vinroot, businessperson and former state House Majority Leader Leo Daughtry and attorney and legislator

cal science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “I didn’t find that there was much difference between them.” Both candidates advocate similar education policies, vow to eradicate dangerous hog lagoons and support a staterun lottery to benefit North Carolina’s public school system. And both say it is their experience in North Carolina government that sets them apart. For the past eight years under departing Gov. Jim Hunt, Easley has been attorney general and Wicker has served as lieutenant governor. But according to the latest MasonDixon poll, voters indicated a preliminary preference—Easley leads Wicker by a two-to-one margin. “Easley has more charisma and more style,” Beyle explained. “His job gives him more visibility.” The campaign has heated up in the last several weeks, characterized by back-and-forth bickering over issues like hog lagoons. “He has no plan,” Wicker said two weeks ago of Easley. “If we don’t get rid of [hog lagoons], we’re going to have the worst ecological disaster in the history of the state.” Easley has since proposed a plan to phase out hog lagoons within five years, a plan that the Wicker campaign belittled as merely a “hog lagoon

Chuck Neely. The latest Mason-Dixon poll shows Vinroot leading with 37 percent, Daughtry with 21 percent and Neely trailing with a mere 5 percent. However, 36 percent of potential Republican voters said they are still undecided. “It’s really very, very close [between Vinroot and Daughtry],” said Thad Beyle, Pearsall professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “I don’t know where that 36 percent will split up.” However, any of the three Republican candidates would face a tough fight in November. Beyle said that after two terms of Gov. Jim Hunt, voters seem content with the Democrat-dominated status quo. “Basically, the voters are very happy. They like what’s going on. Voters are not looking for a change,” he estimated, acknowledging that the Republican candidate should not be counted out. As they battle for the nomination, Vinroot and Daughtry have traded bitter blows, mainly on the issue of state spending. “I want to stop our state from spending money on things that aren’t important and start spending on things that are important,” said Vinroot. He touted his experience as mayor of Charlotte, where he says he successfully enforced the Taxpayer Protection Act to limit spending. Vinroot also said that given the state’s 1 percent population growth and 2 percent inflation rate, legislators should not consistently expand the budget by 9 to 10 percent annually. But Daughtry, who wants to focus on reforming the Department of Transportation and addressing violent crime,

She included a laundry list of accomplishments, including Easley’s work on raising the state prison cap and protecting the environment. Wicker also said his experience qualifies him for the governorship. “I’m the only candidate who has the... experience, the background and the understanding...,” he said, referring to his eight years as Hunt’s lieutenant governor. “I know the players, the personalities, the process critical to passing [anl agenda.”

vows to continue Hunt’s work on education by strengthening programs such as Smart Start, an initiative designed to prepare North Carolina children for

Wicker also wants to reduce class sizes and offer free college tuition to

talented high school students. Easley has proposed giving the state’s senior citizens aid in purchasing increasingly expensive prescription drugs. He also favors implementing a

state lottery to benefit public schools. Currently, neighboring Virginia has a lottery. “North Carolinians are already helping fund smaller classes and other educational improvements by playing the lottery,” he wrote in an e-mail. “The problem is they are funding education in other states.” Wicker echoed this sentiment, saying that the Republican moral objection to gambling is a moot point. “They’re burying their heads in the 5and....,” he said. “We’re the only state that plays the lottery and doesn’t get anything from it.”

Alcohol specialist explains factors affecting intoxication By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Friday afternoon engineering school kegs give students hands-on experience with alcohol, but last night, the Pratt School of Engineering provided a more academic look at drinking. A University expert detailed the physiological effects of alcohol consumption at a well-attended forum in Griffith Film Theater. “Alcohol is a sedative-hypnotic; it gradually puts you to sleep,” said Cynthia Kuhn, professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, who lectured the audience of more than 100 students. Her speech, titled “Buzzed and Befuddled?— Rethinking Campus Drinking,” sought to promote responsible drinking and dispel alcohol myths in advance of spring break. Wednesday’s discussion was part of an increased University focus on alcohol following last semester’s death of a Pratt junior. The student had passed out after drinking and contracted fatal pneumonia after he inhaled his own vomit. The central thrust of Wednesday’s lecture was the delineation of the factors that affect one’s tolerance of alcohol. “Size matters,” said Kuhn, who wrote the book Buzzed with two other Duke professors. “A really big person can drink more than a really small person and get the same [blood alcohol content].” Also, Kuhn said, a person with a low body fat percentage—and therefore a high water content—will have a higher tolerance than someone with a high body fat percentage. “Alcohol distributes into water, and the bigger the volume of water, the more distributed the alcohol will be” and the less effect it will have, Kuhn said.

CYNTHIA KUHN, professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, spoke Wednesday night about the physiological effects of alcohol. Gender also makes a difference.

ratio, have a slower metabolism and at times use birth control pills. “I try to do everything the same as my husband, work out the same, et cetera,” Kuhn said. “But I learned very quickly that I could neither eat the same nor drink the same” She also brought up ethnicity as a factor.

cussed how drinkers can increase their tolerance by eating food while consuming alcohol. Eating, especially high-protein food, slows the digestion rate in the stomach and reduces the effects of alcohol. Although the effects of alcohol can be reduced, Kuhn said, they are still numerous and often overlooked by adolescents. Kuhn discouraged the idea some students hold that they can successfully

study during the day and then drink at night. “Going out for a binge after study, ing will make studying less effective,” she said. Short-term memory loss, coupled with blackouts or spells of memory 10SS while drinking, can be caused by alcohol’s impairment of certain cells in the brain. Drinking can encourage sexual activj. ty by making partners less inhibited, but at the same time, overconsumption can lead to failure of physical performance due to muscle impairment, Kuhn said. Overconsumption can also make drinkers add extra weight, Kuhn said, because alcoholic beverages have such a high caloric content. “From a metabolic standpoint, drinking alcohol is like eating butter.” Students, due to their relative physical immaturity, are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of drinking, Kuhn said. “Adolescents are more sensitive to memory impairment but less sensitive to sedative effects.” The dangerous result is that students are more likely to drink to brain impairment without realizing it, she said. Andrew Bames, a mathematics graduate student who attended the lecture, said the educational experience was valuable for students. “Even though Fm not a great alcohol consumer myself, I think it’s something that needs to occur in a responsible way,” he said. “It’s an issue that affects almost everyone. There are very few people I’ve come across in the past few years who don’t consume alcohol.” Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs, praised the event. “I’ve worked in student affairs and alcohol education for a long time, and I learned a lot.”

As elections occur, DSG holds brief legislative meeting A freshman legislator defended her sister, the attorney general who resigned after last week’s vote was overturned

By KIA WRIGHT The Chronicle Last night’s Duke Student Government meeting was surprisingly short and orderly, considering the recent controversy surrounding the organization. Although some might have expected it to be the hot topic of last night’s meeting the ongoing executive election fiasco was barely mentioned. The only time the issue came up was when legislator and Trinity freshman Amanda Stapleton rose to speak on behalf of her sister, Trinity junior Jennifer Stapleton. On Sunday, the elder Staple-

ton resigned her position as attorney general and election commission chair after the DSG judiciary ordered a revote, citing numerous procedural flaws.

In the end, it SAN FRANCISCO looked as if opponents of the two most controversial, closely watched initiatives on the state ballot never had a chance. Californians overwhelmingly approved a ban on the recognition of samesex marriages, as well as a laundry list of laws that stiffen penalties for adolescent offenders and make it easier to try youths as adults. Despite a steady drop in crime in the last 10 years, Proposition 21, the latest in a long line of voter-approved toughon-crime measures in California, passed by 62 percent to 38 percent. The limits on marriage initiative, or Proposition 22, which states that“only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California,” passed by almost the same margin, 61.4 percent to 38.6 percent. Both measures had broad support from men and women and all races and income levels. Belying California’s reputation as a liberal state, only a handfhl of counties, all in the San Francisco Bay area, voted against the two measures. San Franciscans opposed the propositions by the widest margin in the state—60 percent against the crime initiative and 69 percent against the ban on recognizing

to traditional family values. The juvenile crime initiative follows a trend in voterbased measures in California to increase punishment for those who commit crimes. In 1978, a measure was passed expanding the death penalty. In 1982, a ballot initiative broadened prosecution evidence and narrowed the insanity defense. In 1990, an initiative gave prosecutors access to pretrial evidence and curtailed defendants’ rights at preliminary hearings. Most famously, in 1994, voters approved the “three strikes” law which made third felony convictions subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years to life. Continuing the trend on Tuesday, voters approved two other crime initiatives: Proposition 18, which extends the death penalty to arson and kidnapping cases, and Proposition 19, which increases the penalty for second-degree murder to life in prison if the victim is a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer or California State University peace officer. Former Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican who made tough-on-crime laws the fulcrum of his administration during two terms in office ending in 1999, said the juvenile crime measure “will retake California neighborhoods, schools and businesses from vicious street gangs who for too long have hidden behind a lenient and outdated juvenile justice system.” As to the ban on recognition of gay and lesbian unions, 30 states have passed similar initiatives.

Thursday. Most ofMcCain’s senior aides have been urging him to withdraw, saying Bush has built an almost insurmountable lead in the delegate count. Weaver suggested that McCain could be “pushed” into running as a third-

party candidate—a remark Bush supporters viewed as an attempt to gain leverage as McCain seeks to extract promises from Bush in exchange for an endorsement. McCain has said his campaign finance crusade would continue even if his candidacy does not. Aides said there was no campaign schedule after Thursday’s announcement, except for an off-the-record barbecue with journalists at McCain’s rustic cabin near Sedona. Reporters were told they would be dispatched to Phoenix at the end of the day—without McCain. For both Bradley and McCain, the day was spent reflecting Super Tuesday defeats that effectively ended their hopes of winning the White House. Two senior aides, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they were urging McCain to quit. Key to the decision, they said, was finding away to effectively push McCain’s campaign themes of broadening the party’s base and overhauling reforming campaign finances. Advisers to Bradley, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he would announce his withdrawal Thursday and throw his support to the vice president.

Dennis Ross, Clinton’s peace envoy, played master of ceremonies Wednesday. He called the leaders’ private discussions “very constructive” and said Palestinian and Israeli negotiators would restart their work on a framework agreement for peace after March 16. During the month-long hiatus in talks, Egypt and the United States made intensive diplomatic efforts to bring the sides together.

limited to a handful of votes. “It had absolutely no effect on the outcome of the race,” Shappley said. Although Trinity junior Rob Leonard beat out the other three candidates for vice president for community interaction last Thursday, Trinity sophomore Sean Young won the second go-round by 5.5 percent—just short of the 6 percent margin that would have ended the election outright. Tm definitely excited and I’m definitely surprised, given last week’s election results,” Young said, adding that he hopes spring break will give him time to relax before starting with his third election. In the clear upset of the day, Dodson, a Trinity sophomore, barely beat out Trinity freshman Joshua Jean-Baptiste, who won the first election by almost 4 percent. This time, though, the race was even closer; Dodson received 50.98 percent of the vote, while Jean-Baptiste received 47.52 percent and 1.5 percent went to write-ins. Jean-Baptiste could not be reached for comment early Thursday morning, but Dodson said he was thrilled about his new position. Tm really excited,” he said. Tm looking forward to working with students, administrators and legislators in the coming year and I cannot believe it, but I can’t wait till spring break’s over to get started.” The results of the races for the student affairs and facilities and athletics vice presidencies remained stable. “I would have been surprised at a 40-point turnaround,” said Trinity freshman

Brandon Lowy, who twice lost to Trinity freshman Emily Grey in the race for facilities and athletics. The presidential race also seems finally settled, with Bazinsky once again leading his opponents by a relatively wide margin. However, there is still a

possibility for complaints to be filed against him. Although he had filed a complaint against Bazinsky, presidential candidate and Trinity sophomore Vik Devisetty withdrew it late Wednesday af-

ternoon when he realized that DSG would not release the election results with the charges still pending. His complaint alleged that Bazinsky’s endorsement letter from the men’s basketball team was fraudulent; many members of the team have said they did not realize what they were signing when they autographed the letter. Devisetty said he would not refile. Tm done with the election and if anyone else feels the need to make a complaint, they have the right to do so,” he said. “I do not need to get involved in this any more than I already have been.” Bazinsky, who withdrew a complaint against Devisetty for allegedly slandering him in a campaign e-mail, maintains that the situation surrounding the endorsement letter was confusing but not intentionally misleading. “I can’t even stress enough how bad I feel with the miscommunication about the basketball team,” he said. “I’m glad the campus realized it was a miscommunication and didn’t hold it against me.” DSG Chief Justice Adam Berg, a

whether the judiciary would continue to look into the basketball team endorsement if a complaint is not filed, but added that he would likely suggest the case be examined by Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Kacie Wallace. Even with the possibility for another complaint to be filed in the presidential election, most candidates said the second election was run far more efficiently than the first. “Everything we complained about

As long as the process is done right, the mandate of the people is the mandate of the people.” James Herriott and Richard Rubin contributed to this story.

Daughtry, Vinroot clash over state spending plans REPUBLICANS from page 3 said there is no need to cut spending.

“We may have to prioritize more,” he said. “We have a very robust economy. Every year, we’ve had well more money than before.” He also said his business expertise “I think I can will aid him in this area. in business and experience bring my government to the governor’s office and run our government like a business,” he said In television ads, Vinroot has criticized Daughtry —who served two terms in the North Carolina Senate and one term in the House—for pork-barrel spending. “I want the public to know that... the

guy says one thing and does another,” Vinroot said. Daughtry vehemently denied Vinroot’s allegations.

“That’s absolutely not true,” he said.

“[lt’s] a distortion of the truth... and a half truth is worse than a whole lie.” He said Vinroot was taking his vote on an entire budget out of context, criticizing a specific part of the bill and ignoring its many merits. The other major issue dividing the

candidates is public education. Although both take conservative approaches, they differ on the details. Daughtry advocates lifting the cap on charter schools and bringing more discipline into the classroom. He also said

lice as China, the president said he had only two words: “Good luck!” The long-delayed transmission of the bill to Congress—it appeared timed to arrive after Vice President A1 Gore had the Democratic presidential nomination firmly in grasp—set off a battle within the Democratic Party that intertwines the politics of trade, the presidential election and Clinton’s final effort to recast relations with Beijing. Only 50 to 60 Democratic members of the House appear prepared to support the granting of permanent “normal” trade status to China. That is the one legal prerequisite if American companies are to benefit from the market openings that China promised in 13 years of negotiation that ended last November. That means Clinton is dependent on support from House and Senate Republicans to pass what may be the last major foreign policy legislation of his presidency. He is getting little help from Gore, who, to appease labor unions that vociferously oppose the deal, said three weeks ago that he would negotiate something better if elected to office. Gore later reiterated his support for the deal the administration struck, but his aides did not return calls on the subject Wednesday.

the state should encourage schools to foster a greater sense of community. Vinroot wants to give parents more options as to where to send their children to school. “I like any idea that helps promote more choice,” he said. He advocates vouchers, performance-based teacher pay and more scholarships. More specifically, he pointed to Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s “A+” Education Plan, which requires public schools to be grad-

ed on performance. Students who attend any school given an “F” rating two consecutive years receive a scholarship to attend another school. Although Neely did not return re-

peated phone calls, his web site emphasizes education as a priority and advocates eliminating mandatory busing and providing more local control over public education. He also says the state should lift the cap on charter schools and provide vouchers to students who attend failing schools. Overall, however, Neely advocates a family-based approach to government. “Families are the building blocks of society. As they crumble, our society corrodes and crumbles,” he told The Herald-Sun of Durham. He also said that as governor he will work to eliminate property taxes on cars and homes owned by senior citizens.

The taxable superhighway States and the federal government should institute a sales tax for goods and services purchased over the Internet because to do otherwise would allow a growing stream of revenue to go untapped

the last 40 years, technology has changed the way consumers shop for and purchase goods. Recently, the Internet revolution has accelerated this evolution. But during these years, the government has stood still—and it’s time for it to catch up. The government, and the American people, are failing to collect taxes on a growing portion of the nation’s purchases—those made on the phone or online. North Carolina officials are beginning to attempt to aggressively collect taxes on Internet purchases. The time has come for the government to make a good-faith effort to collect these taxes. For decades, companies have been offering their products effectively tax-free in phone-order catalogs—no taxes are collected at the point of purchase; instead, buyers must estimate their phone purchases on tax forms at the end of the year. This first step into distance commerce—with mail-order catalogs by Sears as an annex to its in-store sales—has become a giant leap, with companies like J. Crew, L.L. Bean and Land’s End thriving almost solely on phone purchases. And now, the burgeoning world of Internet commerce has not only allowed Sears and J. Crew to expand their commercial empires to a new medium, but opened the doors for nearly every kind of online purchase, from groceries to galoshes. And these purchases remain, effectively, duty-free. As such, commerce experts expect companies to begin setting up Internet transaction terminals at physical store locations to allow their customers to purchase goods tax-free. It is about time taxes on electronic purchases are in line with our states’ sales tax systems. As a consumption-based tax, the fee would allow persons who do not agree with it to simply buy less, to pay less in taxes. It is not distributive and not punitive. While staid, store-based businesspeople argue that the tax-free nature of Internet purchases is discriminating against them, young Internet entrepreneurs say that imposing the tax now would hobble a burgeoning industry. Both claims are probably true, but it is important that these start-ups learn to build in the cost of taxes before they start, or in their first stages of development, so the imposition of a tax later on does not destroy, or reinvent, the industry. Furthermore, the store-based business people are right—the nature of these sales taxes is discriminatory. Moreover, consumers should have to pay their state tax on e-transactions at the time of purchase. It is just common sense in the interest of efficiency, ease and enforceability.

Naive columnist utilizes unjustified assumptions Alex Epstein’s views on altruism and self interest cannot be justified logically without the making assumption that altruism and self-interest are mutually exclusive. The hyperbole found in his Feb. 29 column seems to suggest that any move to help another automatically harms oneself. This is an enormous philosophical claim, yet he makes no effort to demonstrate its truth. Epstein equates altruispi with sacrifice and sacrifice with suffering. This puts one in the position of defining well-being as little more than getting what you want and not losing it once you’ve got it.

They don’t drink within 48 hours of competition. During the offseason, they might make up for lost time. Knowing that, I try to address those realisims, and I get them to think out some of the issues that are important.

THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 2000

Architect will help pick museum site ARCHITECT from page I budget for non-construction costs, is a fairly smallscale project for Vinoly, a firm that has designed projects costing more than $1 billion. But representatives from the firm explained why the Duke’s museum is worthwhile. “It’s an incredible institution in that [in Nasher] it has the most significant... collector of contemporary art in recent times,” said Jay Bargmann, who administers major projects for the firm. He added that Vinoly has worked on several other university projects with limited budgets. Brendan Guerin, a project manager at the firm who is working with the University on preliminary sketches, agreed that the Duke project is an impressive opportunity. “The art museum in general is a pretty prestigious building typology...he said. “Duke University is a very respectable client. The project has a lot to offer the firm, despite its relatively small size, in terms of design opportunities.” The University selected Viholy after a lengthy process in which administrators looked at about a dozen firms, Trask said. Duke had expected to choose an architect by the end of January, but plans were delayed because of a series of scheduling conflicts, as well as the task of finding a top-notch architect that could work within the University’s budget. Now that an architect has been chosen, the University must choose one of two possible sites for the new facility. The first location, on an eight-acre piece of proper-

ty bordered by Campus Drive, Anderson Street, Alexander Street and Duke University Road, seems to be the more likely, as the second spot—four acres diagonally across Campus Drive and adjacent to the Sarah P. Duke Gardens—does not leave much room for expansion. “The purpose of having an architect come in is having a fresh pair of eyes try to give clear-sighted analysis of what can be done on each of [the sites],” said Michael Mezzatesta, director of the Duke University

Museum of Art on East Campus, which will be re-

placed by the Nasher Museum. “The museum will inevitably grow over time. We want to make sure you can do that in a planned way.” Vinoly is known as a premier firm, and Nasher said the company would be particularly attentive to the needs of an art museum. “[Vinoly] is truly one of the most distinguished architects in the world. Some of the things he’s done just amaze me...,” Nasher said. “He is very knowledgeable and very interested in art itself.” Aside from designing the Nasher Museum, the group’s diverse range of current projects include the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, the Bronx Criminal Court Center in New York, the Fortabat Museum in Buenos Aires and the Cairo Financial Center in Egypt. Also, the firm designed the $36 million Princeton University Stadium, which finished construction in 1998. “The work we produce—l definitely would not categorize it within any trend,” Guerin said. “A strength of the firm is that there’s not just a language you’re buying into. We’re responsive to both the location and the client. The form of the building takes shape, instead of

being predefined.” Pearce, the University architect, worked alongside Viholy at William Paterson University in New Jersey. “Most impressive about the firm [is thatl the designers work in three dimensions,” Pearce said. ‘They build many models and they think spatially. One solution will emerge from a multiple of schemes.” Guerin stressed the group’s commitment to make the museum reflect, though not necessarily imitate, the campus’ look. “Good design can be sensitive to and... refer to its surroundings without being so nostalgic or heavy-handed or overbearing to the context,” he said.

Mezzatesta hoped that the firm’s commitment to integrating the building into the campus look would help create a facility that would draw widespread attention. “I hope they’ll bring a sensitivity to the project that will produce a design of great distinction that will be worth people’s while to come to Duke... just to see the building,” he said.

Login required for OIT Computer Clusters starting Spring Break 2000 From March 10 20 (Spring Break) OIT will be upgrading the PC and Macintosh computer clusters with new software that will require users to log in and enter a password in order to use a computer. -

1. What you’ll see when you try to use a computer

You’ll see one of the login boxes below:

OIT

O Guest (disabled) Registered ACPUB User

ACPUB User ID: || Password: Shutdown-

Cin

IBM-PC

MAC

2. How to login Use your acpub userid (also known as login or user name) and password to log in. Once logged into the cluster computer, users will be automatically logged into e-mail and other password-protected services such as SISS/ACES Web. In most cases, users will not have to log in separately for these services—the one time login will suffice. Mac and PC computers will differ slightly in their automatic login capabilities. This is known as “single sign-on”.

3. If your user name is invalid Make sure you’ve entered your user name correctly. If it still doesn’t work, then you may have a “stale” password (one that has not been changed since July *9B). People with older passwords could not be automatically converted to this new system and thus must register manually. This is not applicable for Macintosh computers. To register: 1. Click “OK” on the invalid username alert box. You will be sent back to the SnareWork login box. Enter your acpub userid and leave the password field blank to start registration. 2. You will then be asked to enter your password twice. Use your acpub password. 3. Continue with the instructions on the screen and you will be converted to the new system. We strongly suggest that you change your password using SSH (a secure Telnet program) if you have not changed it since July 1998. See http://www.oit.duke.edu/docs/csg/7-html for instructions on how to log in and change your password using a telnet program. •

•

4. Log out before you leave Use the logout icon on the desktop. Wait for the dialog box and click “Yes” to confirm your logout. Remember, more than just your e-mail is at risk—personal student information is now available online and accessible with your acpub userid and password. So don’t forget to LOGOUT!

Auto-logout for unattended machines If the computer is inactive for more than 20 minutes you will be automatically logged out. This time limit is subject to change

5. Keep it confidential—don’t share your password. More than just your e-mail is at risk —personal student information such as grades and Bursar’s information is online and accessible with your acpub userid and password

returns to practice to begin preparing for the NCAA tournament. The Blue Devils arrived in Durham from Greensboro late Monday night, and, weary from playing three games in three days, made no plans for a rowdy victory party. “I came home [Monday night] and just planned to go to bed,” guard Missy West said. “But a bunch of my teammates called,

and responding to congratulatory e-mails and phone calls. “They needed a break,” Goestenkors said. “They need to get back with their studies. They have midterms; they’ve missed some classes.” Goestenkors found her e-mail inbox cluttered Tuesday morning and spent most of the day responding to well-wishers and tending to the veritable garden of floral arrangements delivered to her Cameron Indoor Stadium office. A conference championship is nice, but after two off-days, Duke is ready to return to business as usual, setting its sights on a loftier goal—a national championship. Even doubters can’t fault the Blue Devils for aiming high.

REST from page 17 they end up in, though, the Blue Devils hope to go out as NCAA tourna-

ment champions. “I think if we’re a two-seed, we’re going to be one of the lower two-seeds, and that may mean we’d get sent out West,” Lauren Rice said, speculating on the team’s position. “A two- or a threeseed really doesn’t make any difference, though, because you end up playing each other in the Sweet Sixteen.” One thing is certain, though. Duke will definitely be a top-four seed in its region, meaning that it will host the first two rounds in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Last year, the Blue Devils, seeded second in the East, had the luxury of not only playing in Cameron, but playing the regional semifinal and final games in Greensboro. This year, the closest regional site is Richmond, Va. for the East Regional, while the farthest is in Portland, Ore. for the West regional. “Obviously, Richmond is closest for the fans,” Rice said. “But it would be fun to go out West for one last big trip.” Continuing a tradition, the Blue Devils will convene at Goestenkors’ house to watch the NCAA tournament selection show, airing Sunday at 5:15 p.m. on ESPN. “It doesn’t really matter to me who we end up playing,” West said. “I think Connecticut is the best overall team, but we know that no one is invincible. I’ll cheer when I see Duke on the screen.”

son balloting. But Schweitzer didn’t take long to prove the media wrong. The Columbus, Ohio native scored at least 15 points in

each of Duke’s first eight games and established herself as the primary offensive option for the Blue Devils. “I wanted people to respect Duke women’s basketball,” Schweitzer said. “A lot of people I know thought it was a fluke, that we were lucky that we made it so far last year and this year [we would] come out and not be very good. It wasn’t a fluke. We are a strong program.” Schweitzer would have a giant hand in debunking the fluke myth, scoring

20 or more points in a game seven times. Despite battling a painful divot fracture in her right leg for the latter

part of the season, Schweitzer finished third in the ACC in scoring (15.7), fourth in field goal percentage (46.2), third in three-point percentage (40.7) and finished in the top ten in several other categories. And when the Blue Devils made their push for the first ever ACC title, Schweitzer led the charge. After solid performances in the tournament’s first two games against Florida State and Georgia Tech, Schweitzer led the team in scoring with 16 in the riveting final against North Carolina. The 16 points included a momentum-shifting threepoint play on an acrobatic drive to the basket and the final go-ahead layup on a textbook backcut.

“Georgia has become a great leader for us,” coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She is one ofthe toughest kids, mentally and physically, I have ever had the privilege to coach.” Now, the rest of the world knows what Goestenkors knew all along. Note: Duke’s only previous ACC player of the year was Chris Moreland, who won the honor in 1987.

He just wouldn’t stay in as long, I don’t think,” Krzyzewski said. “Mike’s got to be honest with us, too, about if he needs a rest.” The versatile 6-foot-7 Dunleavy has been used at both guard and forward and was averaging more than 25 minutes a game before his illness. “Mike knows how to play. Mike’s been a starter for us, really,” Krzyzewski said. “The reason we’ve been so successful is we have a six-man rotation and we’ve been able to do a lot of different things, and that gives the impression we’re deeper than we really are.” Dunleavy was not held out of any drills during the 60-minute workout and looked sharp both passing the ball and shooting it, showing no signs of being overly fatigued.

Once again, I think we were flat.” In the singles competition, the Blue Devils commanded the court, as they finished all their matches except one in straight sets. This was highlighted by Duke’s top seed Smith, who defeated Aguirre by a resounding score of 6-1, 6-1. The most competitive match of the day took place on the second court, where Root and Anderson battled into a third set before Root eventually won 6-2 in the decisive set. Freshman Yorke Allen also had a tough time, as he beat Fabio Campos 6-4, 7-5 in the longest match of the day. “[Allen] said that he felt a little uncomfortable today since he hasn’t played very many matches, but he did a good job,” Lapidus said. “I didn’t have any doubt that he would come through today.”

Team officials had said he would likely miss the ACC tournament. Before his illness was diagnosed, he was averaging 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and two assists a game.

Anything is special if you win it.” Williams, of course, is not the only Blue Devil who is excited about his first ACC tournament. Boozer is also eager, as he has been waiting a long time to play in Charlotte. “I watched it from the eighth grade year on,” the Juneau, Alaska native said. “It’s something every high school kid wants to be a part of.” To experience the tournament fully, however, Duke will have to overcome an improving Clemson team which it has had success against in the past. Having beaten the Tigers by double digits in both of their meetings this year, not to mention the fact that they have beaten the Tigers eight straight times overall, the Blue Devils are the odds-on favorite to win their firstround game and are quite confident entering the matchup. “I’m expecting a victory,” forward Nate James said. “We’ve played them a couple of times and beaten them, so we have the capability of beating them again.” But Boozer cautions that the true test will be for the Blue Devils not to look ahead to a more difficult semifinal game, but rather concentrate on the task at hand. “We’re going to come in and think __i_ JENNIFER AHDER3ON/THE CHRONICLE 1 [only] about Clemson and worry about Boozer said. in the ACC tournament the rest of the field later,” Clemson, JASON WILLIAMS and the rest of Duke’s freshmen will have to adjust to life is for “Our main preparation quickly if the Blue Devils hope to repeat as tourney champions.

and after that, we’ll move on.” Duke looks to continue its recent stifling defense against the Tigers and whomever else they face, as it has been an asset that has been vital for the team down the stretch of the season. “I think getting back to playing Duke defense made a big difference in the UNC game,” Boozer said, “and it should make a big difference for the rest of our year.” Duke’s defense against Clemson has been especially suffocating, as it has forced 44 turnovers by the Tigers in the two games, while sacrificing only 18 itself. One person in particular whom the Blue Devils will concentrate on is the ACC’s leading scorer, Will Solomon, who comes into the contest averaging over 20 points per game.

An inability to keep its players and coaches has the ACC in a steady slide When the ACC’s nine head coaches got together for their annual media day back in October, they all agreed on one thing. Well, two things, if you count the consensus that North Carolina would cakewalk to the ACC title. Hey, they’re basketball coaches, not Jimmy the Greek.

What they also agreed on was a party line, no, a rallying cry. It went something like this: In spite of anything you might have read, heard, seen, touched or smelled over the past two years, the ACC is not in decline. Why? Because we say so. Mike Krzyzewski called it “criminal.” Dave Odom moaned about a “tidal wave” of anti-ACCism. Herb Sendek scratched his temple and shot reporters a “You-explain-it-to-me” look. That’s when it became official. The ACC, for decades the big bully of the college basketball playground, was crying uncle. It’s not surprising that the league’s coaches came up with this ACC vs. the world mantra a year after earning just three bids to the NCAA tournament.

heart of the league’s talent pool, Duke’s freshman class of 1997-98, of course, is the easy example. From a four-player class that recruiting gurus predicted could bring everything but world peace to Durham, there remains only one player. But the problem runs deeper than the two-year stopovers by players like Elton Brand and William Avery. It also includes injuries and the transferitis that has spread so quickly that the NCAA is considering a cap on the number of scholarships a school can dole out in a given year. And it’s not a trend that sucks exclusively from the reservoirs of deep programs like Krzyzewski’s. Just take a quick glance at the influx oftalent that was supposed to rescue a league on life support in 1998-99. Five ACC freshmen were McDonald’s AllAmerica selections and a sixth was a Parade selection. A year later, Corey Maggette’s pedicure-to-assist ratio is tops among NBA rookies, and Ron Curry may or may not play basketball ever again for North Carolina. Meanwhile, N.C.

ACC tourney will once again have impact on NCAA fates k Duke, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina should all find bids to the field of 64 come Selection Sunday, but Wake Forest and the rest of the ACC will probably be left out. It’s that time of year again And no, I’m not talking about pro baseball’s spring training or the upcoming NFL Draft. It’s early March and that can only mean one thing—the NCAA tournament is right around the corner. First things first, though. The ACC tournament starts this weekend and several teams are fighting for their playoff lives. Duke and Maryland are locks for the field of 64, but there are other considerations for both teams. Pending disaster in Charlotte, the Blue Devils are likely to be a No. 1 seed in the East region. Nevertheless, Duke will be looking to send a message to the rest of the basketball world with a dominating performance in the tournament.

Bullet Bob Bob Wells Maryland, on the other hand, is likely a No. 5 seed right now, but it could move up to a No. 4 or 3 with a strong performance at the ACCs. The Terrapins have been on a roll in the last six weeks, something the selection committee keeps close tabs on. They recovered from an abysmal 0-3 start to finish in second place, posting an 11-5 conference record. Still, because Maryland dropped a heartbreaker to Virginia to close out the regular season, it will have to be impressive this weekend. “We can really help ourselves by playing well,” Maryland coach Gary Williams said. “We want as many ACC teams in as possible. I’d like to see five teams get in, but each team has to take care of its own business.” After Duke and Maryland, the picture becomes a little less clear. Well, sort of. Clemson, Georgia Tech and Florida State all get a chance to go on See NCAA FATE on page 13

Who is the ACC’s player of the year? Shane Battier is the nation’s top defender and has carried the Blue Devils on his shoulders since Dunleavy’s illness I know, I might as well call the Pope the second most important man in Catholicism. Sometimes, though, you just have to tell it like it is, even if it means alienating millions of worshippers, er, fans.

Sure, Chris Carrawell had a fantastic season. And anyone with a television set, radio, computer or any other device

within screaming distance of Dick Vitale knows Carrawell’s had an even more fantastic career. But the player of the year isn’t a career award. If it were, Ron Dayne and Ricky Williams would have both won the Heisman trophy. Ok, bad example. Let’s look at the numbers. Carrawell’s per game averages aren’t too shabby: third in the ACC in scoring (18.0), ninth in assists (3.4), eighth in blocks (1.1). In fact, Carrawell finished in the league’s top 10 in six categories. What could Battier possibly do to top that? How about finishing in the league’s top five in six separate categories? He was fourth in scoring (17.6), fourth in free-throw percentage (82.3), fifth in blocks (1.9), fifth in steals (2.0), fifth in assist/turnover ratio and the tallest player since Wake Forest’s Ricky Feral to lead the league in three-point shooting (46.5 percent). So Carrawell captured scoring, the glamour statistic. So what?

in the NCAA tournament, it’s easy to forget the uncertainties of November. It’s easy to forget a team that opened the year with three role players, five freshmen and a 22-year-old sophomore, and then got off to its first 0-2 start since 1958. What if Carrawell had missed those free throws against the Illini, and the Blue Devils went into showdowns with DePaul and Michigan unsure if they could pull out close games? What if he hadn’t made those shots versus the Cavaliers, and Duke limped into College Park 0-1 in the ACC after being upset by a squad few thought would make an NCAA tourney run? And what if Carrawell failed to make a long list of huge plays over the first half of the ACC schedule, allowing the Blue Devils to all but clinch the conference crown and solidify their position as one of the nation’s top programs? With every win Duke earned after its two season-opening losses, the players’ confidence grew and the team’s identity emerged. For a young team like the Blue Devils performing in such a highpressure environment, a tough earlyseason loss could have changed the rest of the year dramatically. Instead, the victories piled up, with each one featuring at least one clutch play by Carrawell that might have saved Duke from defeat.

Cremins Last Stand already ’

obby Cremins has

announced his retirement and he now says good-bye to 19 years of ACC tournaments

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

For the second time in three years, the ACC must say goodbye to a coaching legend. Although the play-in game rarely interests anybody not directly involved

in the action, tonight’s 7 p.m. contest between eighth-seeded Georgia Tech and seventh-seeded Florida State is the game ESPN believes will have everyone tuned in. That’s because when Tech coach Bobby Cremins leaves the floor for perhaps the last time of his career, his loss will be experienced well outside the city of Atlanta. After 19 years of unbelievable successes mixed with unexpected struggles, Georgia Tech’s general—fiery known everywhere for his white hair resigned his position as head coach last month when this season failed to live up to presea—

son aspirations. “Three or four weeks ago I could just *see it wasn’t

there. I wish I could pinpoint it. A little bit of this happened last year. I just can’t put my finger on any particular thing. I could speculate about several things, but I can’t say one thing. The bottom line is it just wasn’t there.” Few basketball analysts expected it to be there for the Yellow Jackets this year when freshman Dion Glover bolted for the NBA Draft after missing all of last season with a knee injury. Cremins made things worse by scheduling early-season contests against Kansas, Michigan, Georgia and Stanford, resulting in four consecutive losses and beginning the season on the

four years after inheriting a program that had gone winless in the conference the year before he arrived, Cremins helped Tech claim its first ACC championship. During that 1984-85 season, the Yellow Jackets won more games than ever before and started a streak of nine straight NCAA tournament appearances. In 1990, Cremins earned Naismith National Coach of the Year honors when he guided Tech to its firstever Final Four. The last four years, however, the fortune of Cremins and Georgia Tech has changed. Since winning ACC coach of the year for the third time in 1996, when he turned a team that missed the NCAAs the year before into regular-season conference champions, Cremins has failed to land the Yellow Jackets in the Big Dance in four consecutive attempts. “Georgia Tech was at rock bottom when he took over,” Wake Forest coach Dave Odom said. “Not only did he build the program to a place of respectability and power, he did it quickly and he did it without a hint of impropriety.

wrong foot.

When back-to-back losses to Duke and Maryland dropped the Yellow Jackets to 3-8 in the conference and essentially made Cremins’ goal of returning to the NCAA tournament impossible, the second most-tenured coach in the conference decided it was time to walk away on his own terms. “I’ll miss practice; I’ll miss my relationship with my players [andl I’ll miss the ACC,” Cremins said. “I hung in there until Dean [Smithl retired, but I couldn’t hang in there until Mike [Krzyzewski] retired. I’ll miss competing against those guys. I owe those guys a few whippings because they’ve gotten me the last couple of years.” When Cremins first emerged on the stage at Georgia Tech, he brought life to a program that had been consid-

“Everything he did he did with honor and dignity and with great class. Coaching needs Bobby Cremins more

than Bobby Cremins needs coaching. I hope he will decide to return to coaching. No man could have done more.... No man.”

Getting the \aet laugh Quick-witted Pete Gillen has led a miraculous turnaround of a ‘below-rock-bottom’ Virginia program By NEAL MORGAN The Chronicle

Just as one of the ACC’s big dogs retires this week, the conference’s coaching elite could be confronted with a replacement sooner than they might think.

And just their luck, it’s another loud New Yorker. Last season, Pete Gillen was known for the jokes he’d tell off the court and the joke he put on the court. This year, however, he has the thirdplace team in the conference that may be the tourney’s best sleeper bet.

PETE GILLEN has made himself a leading candidate for ACC coach of the year after taking Virginia from last to third.

Duke, he had no problem cracking jokes about Taymon Domzalski, quipping that if he had a player like Domzalski, they’d build a monument of him right next to Thomas Jefferson’s. So when Gillen initially accepted the job and told the world that it would take some time to rebuild a shattered program, he might have Virginia swept been telling the biggest joke ofall. The Carolina, split problem is, no one is laughing, except with Maryland for maybe Gillen and a few thousand and took Duke to Wahoo faithful. overtime. The quick turnaround has been And while the truly miraculous. “[Gillen] has mixed young players ACC media the with established veterans, and everypicked Cavaliers to finone has a fair chance,” Terry Holland ish seventh in told The Cavalier Daily. “Performing the conference, in these two extreme cases, [last year Gillen has cerand this yearl, places him in a class tainly pulled off by himself.” one of the minor Last season, Gillen was forced to play babysitter to a slew of walk-ons, coaching miracles in conference two of whom he dubbed “three-fingered history.

With these huge shadows cast around him, coach Jeff Jones resigned, leaving the Virginia program in lots of trouble. Then the Cavaliers found Gillen Gillen was the head coach at Providence, and the Bronx native by then had made a name for himself by turning around both the Providence and Xavier programs. Athletic Director Terry Stanford convinced Gillen to hop on board, though one friend told the new coach he was inheriting a program that was “below rock bottom.” But before things got better, they got worse. University Hall was condemned because of cracks in the tension wire, and although the damage only changed where the team could practice, it was symbolic ofwhat Gillen was getting himself into. “When we first got here a year and a was

Duke’s Class of 2003 not the only freshmen in the ACC I don’t know if any of you have watched any college basketball this year, but if you have, you may have noticed that under a new NCAA rule every broadcast must include a five-minute discussion on what this game would have been like had someone not turned pro early.

From the cheap seats Kevin Lloyd If you are watching ESPN, you also may have

noticed that any such discussion must include the

flip-side about this year’s “diaper dandies.” This actually makes sense, as the premature departure of virtually every star in college basketball has placed a tremendous responsibility on the shoulders of newcomers across the country. The ACC has been no different. Thus it is time to recognize those freshmen who have made a significant contribution. Since no freshmen are wearing diapers, I am proud to present the Best of Those Still Requiring Fake IDs Awards for the ACC. Rookie of the Year: Joseph Forte, UNC If you don’t know who is going to win this award, you probably haven’t watched any games without Duke in them. Joseph Forte of North Carolina had a phenomenal debut. He led all rookies in scoring at 16.3 points. He was fourth in assists, fourth in rebounds and second behind Jason Williams in threepoint percentage. But numbers aren’t the reason, at least the only reason, that Forte wins this award. Perhaps the best measure of a player is what he did in the big games. In two games against the Blue Devils, Forte scored 44 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out nine assists. Saturday’s final regular-season game at Duke revealed perhaps the most impressive thing about Forte. While only a freshman, he has become the player the Tar Heels go to when they need a basket. Carolina may have had a subpar season, finishing as the fourth seed in the ACC tournament, but with, out Forte, the-Tar Heels would probably be thinking about how to convince fans that the NIT really is pretty important. He wins by a landslide. Best Point Guard: Jason Williams, Duke Last year the ACC lost two of its finest floor generals, as Maryland’s Steve Francis left early for NBA pursue his dream of livv stardom and Will Avery ing in Minnesota. But the poslticm.pn both their teams has been quite ably filled. Steve Blake has stepped in for Francis, averaging 6.4 assists and 9!*T points per game. Jason Williams is averaging 6.3 assists 14.5 points in Avery’s place. This race is a lot closer than most ofthe Duke faithful would like to believe. Blake had a better assist to *

turnover ratio at 1.8 vs. 1.6. More importantly, he won the head-to-head matchup with Williams. And unlike the Duke point guard, he held Ed Cota to a draw. But Williams is far more critical to his team’s success, and the Blue Devils had a better year than the Terrapins—Williams wins, but has to sprint in for the victory. Best Big Man: Travis Watson, Virginia There are basically two candidates for this award, Duke’s Carlos Boozer and Virginia’s Travis Watson. Boozer has the advantage in scoring at 13.2 points per game to 11.2. He also has a much better free-throw percentage. Nonetheless, Watson gets the nod. The Cavalier has the rebounding edge at 8.2 to 6.1, but it is the intangibles that put him over the top. Virginia has overachieved all year, and Watson is a major reason. I’d rather have Boozer, but Watson gets a slight edge for the season.

Best of the Rest; Damien Wilkins, N.C. State Of the players not mentioned thus far, N.C. State’s Damien Wilkins most stands out. Wilkins is the Wolfpack’s second-leading scorer with 10.5 points and is second on the team in rebounds with 6.2 boards. Perhaps most importantly, he provides a team-leading 31.3 minutes per game to a team lacking in depth. Best Freshman Class: Duke This one required a great deal of thought and consideration. Between Watson, Roger Mason and Majestic Mapp, who has the best name in the conference, the Cavalier freshmen are producing a combined 23.6 points per game. But Williams, Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Nick Horvath are combining for 42.9 points, 17.5 rebounds and 9.9 assists. Moreover, they have helped turned a rebuilding year into the Blue Devils’ fourth-consecutive regular-season ACC title.

One man’s thoughts: Columnist offers up his ACC picks So, how will the 2000 version of the ACC tournament unfold? Who knows. Mel Kiper Jr. probably has a better shot at correctly predicting the NFL draft selections than one does of guessing how these teams will play this weekend.

Grizzly Adams Brian Kane Where last year, things went relatively smoothly—bad teams played poorly, good teams played well—this season has been completely unpredictable. Thus, there are a myriad of“X factors” heading into the long weekend in Charlotte. No. 9 Clemson: Despite having lost home games earlier in the season to Wofford and Appalachian State, the Tigers played well in the second half of the season to end up with four ACC wins. Coach Larry Shyatt was pleased with his team’s marked improvement, including a sweep of N.C. State. No. 8 Georgia Tech: As everyone knows, this will be Bobby Cremins’ last ACC tournament. The Jackets have played well at times this season, taking Stanford to overtime, and the team wants to send its head coach out in style.

No. 7 Florida State: The Seminoles

are a tough team to figure out. They finished in a tie for sixth in the conference despite a record far below .500. FSU has

not had much success in the ACC tourney over the years, but you have to love Nigel Dixon. No. 6 N.C. State: At the midway point ofthe season, the Wolfipack seemed headed for a top-three finish in the ACC. Then came a seven-game losing streak that dropped them to sixth. Herb Sendek will hope the team that took Duke to overtime will show up instead of the one that fell twice to Clemson. No. 5 Wake Forest; The Demon Deacons had been left for dead before rallying to win their last two games to finish fifth in the conference. The NCAA door has not been locked all the way quite yet, and a strong run in Charlotte could provide them with a decent case. No. 4 North Carolina: Technically, UNC extended its streak oftop-three finishes to 36, although it has not been a No. 4 seed in quite a long time. This is a team that has a lot to prove, especially to the NCAA seeding committee. The talent is there, but one wonders if the Heels can keep up three straight days of intensity. No. 3 Virginia: It is safe to say that the Cavaliers were the surprise team of the season. Gillen’s squad earned its No. 3 seed with a dramatic overtime win over Maryland last weekend. The Wahoos have been erratic, however, as they swept UNC and got stomped on by Georgia Tech. No. 2 Maryland: The Terps are possibly the hottest team in the ACC. They won nine straight in the conference before falling to Virginia. Maryland has the potential to receive a high seed from the NCAA if it can prove itself in Charlotte.

Arlington basketball coach Bob LeGrand said. “A lot of coaches are interested in upgrading their schedules,” he explained. “I’d rather schedule teams I can beat sd I can improve my record and keep my job.” Not only will Pete Gillen keep his job, he could be rewarded with postseason coaching honors. He guided a Virginia team that finished dead last in the conference a year ago to a 9-7 mark and a third-place finish. Another team on the bubble is Wake Forest.

North Carolina’s Bill Guthridge is the coach of :he year, if you happen to be from Duke or Maryland. “Gut,” as he is affectionately called by Mayers and friends, has' taken a team of five McDonald’s All-Americans and led them to a rela;ively disappointing 18-12 record (9-7 in the ACC).

Sure, the Tar Heels lead the nation in field *oal percentage, but they can’t even spell defense and they’ve been as pumped up for games as someone trying to defend Vince Carter one-on-one on a fast break. The Tar Heels have now finished at least third in the conference for a record 36 consecutive years and will likely earn their 26th straight NCAA tournament bid, but they can look forward to another early-round exit.

Over his first three years at Duke, James’ statistics—4.2 points and 2.3 rebounds a game, and almost twice as many turnovers as assists—did nothing to help forecast a turnaround for next season. Yet James continued unfazed through all the setbacks, and his dedication paid off when he was named a tri-captain over the summer, despite having only one start to his name. “Whether you’re short, tall, fast, slow, whatever, it always starts from within,” said James, who has started all but one game this season. “Your heart and your determination will get you a long way.

I knew it had great potential, [but] we were in a great league and we might never survive. I didn’t put a time frame on it because I didn’t know how long it would be.” In early November, Colin Ducharme injured his ankle and was pronounced out for the season. Down to six scholarship players, Gillen would have to rely on at least a few of the seven walk-ons staring at him from the end of the bench. And through it all, as much as he hates losing, Gillen never lost the sense of humor that has endeared him to the ACC media and fans. This year was supposed to be better, but not by much.

Ducharme hasn’t returned to form. But despite lacking a single starter who is taller than 6-foot-8, the Cavaliers have thrived this season. After UVa’s first-ever win in the Dean Dome, the Cavs seemed almost in awe of themselves, “Hey, this is North Carolina... it’s like where basketball began,” Chris Williams said. “You look up and Jordan’s jersey is hanging up there.” Gillen can largely thank his freshman class for the sudden success. Upon arriving in Charlottesville, he quickly convinced Williams and Adam Hall, who had committed to Jones, to stay. In addition, he also lured point guard Majestic Mapp. Now Gillen finds himself at the helm of one of the conference’s most young and talented teams. “We’re making a nice step in our program,” Donald Hand said. “We’re coming together, jelling....

And James will be sure that those are not lacking. “Some of the games we’ve been losing,” James explained, “we haven’t put it all out on the court, we haven’t given 110 percent, we haven’t played a full 40 minutes of Duke basketball.” And, when he said those words, his look made something clear—James isn’t about to let that happen again.

A look back at Duke's 1999 ACC tournament championship J

&Ss) >

IHERAN/THE CHRONI

First Round: Duke 104, Virginia 67 No. 1 Duke was expected to roll through Virginia, but some were still surprised just how easy the win came. The Blue Devils jumped out of the gates quickly and never looked back en route to their 25th straight win and

the third largest in ACC tournament history. Chris Carrawell scored seven of Duke’s first 13points as it took an early 13-3 lead. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, missed eight of their first nine shots, including six blown layups. Duke closed the half on a 27-5 run, and many fans filed for the exits. But early in the second, the Blue Devils suffered a major scare when Trajan Langdon reactivating an old high school injury. The senior would miss the remainder of the tournament, but Langdon’s absence wouldn’t slow down Duke. UVa coach Pete Gillen, who was playing with just six scholarship players, could only shake his head afterwards. “It’s like pros versus young men,” Gillen said. “What are ya gonna do?”

Semifinals: Duke 83, N.C. State 68 Who needs Trajan Langdon? Corey Maggette was always Duke’s flashiest player, but for the first time in his brief career, he was truly the star. Maggette filled in for Langdon magnificently, scoring 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting in his first career start. Seventeen ofhis points came in the first half, when the gritty Wolfpack was still in the game, and the sometimes careless freshman committed just one turnover. N.C. State was as close as 53-45 with 15 minutes left in the game before Duke went on a 10-0 run to put the contest out ofreach. A pair ofsteals and State turnovers sparked the run, with all five buckets coming on transition dunks or layups. The Blue Devils opened the second half making 10 of their first 11 shots. Elton Brand recorded his 16th double-double with 19 points and 12 boards, but the 15-point win snapped Duke’s seven-game 20-point win streak.

Finals: Duke 96, North Carolina 73 Duke’s last ACC game of the year was chock-full of achievements, but certainly lacking in drama. Duke completed the conference’s first ever 19-0 season, won its first ACC tournament since 1992, clinched theallbut-guaranteed No. 1 seed in the East Region and defeated the hated Tar Heels for the third time in one season. Not bad for a day’s work. Tourney MVP Elton Brand scored 24 points anil grabbed 13 boards while leading Duke to the third largest victory in ACC finals history. North Carolina used a 14-0 run early in the second half to trim Duke’s lead to nine, but the Blue Devils never allowed UNC to get any closer. The win capped one of the best seasons in the history of college hoops. “They’ve just taken everybody apart,” UNC coach Bill Guthridge said. “They’re so efficient and so effective. For us to have a chance today, we would have had to play our best game of the year.”

positively Maggette-like. The talented but troubled

Florida State center Karim Shabazz jumped ship on Steve Robinson in the middle of the season. Swapping the Karim Shabazzes, Adam Harringtons and Chris Burgesses of the hoops world for incomers like Keith Friel and Shaun Fein is, at best, a minor annoyance and, at worst, another sign of the league’s

slow burn. Certainly no one is calling that deal an upgrade. And even if the league did experience a net talent gain, the result of any transfer is usually a jolt to team—and, as an extension, league—chemistry. Which is precisely the point. The ACC’s problem is continuity, or the obvious lack thereof. Sure, every conference is dealing with the early-exit crisis. But most of them are dealing with it better than the ACC. Aside from Duke, which plugged the dam with another All-World class, most of the other eight

teams are stuck in a cycle ofrebuilding. Conventional wisdom suggests things could get worse, especially if Bobby Cremins’ impending retirement is the start of a new round of coaching changes. Few coaches will come into the ACC’s cutthroat environment and display a Midas Touch like Pete Gillen has at UVa. Of the league’s nine active skippers, only Bill Guthridge managed a winning ACC record in his first season. And not much needs to be said about the pressure Guthridge is feeling right about now. It’s true that the era of the ACC receiving six bids may be over, if only because it has become a statistical anomaly. A team that finishes a respectable 8-8 in the league has to somehow pick up 10 to 12 non-conference wins in its remaining 12 to 14 games, while simultaneously playing a schedule that will impress the selection committee. You do the math. On the other hand, if Virginia and UNO (both 9-7) earn bids Sunday, it may be a signal that the oncedominant league has regained some measure of respect. Remember, this conference did edge an admittedly watered-down Big Ten in a head-to-head December showdown. At the very least, four bids would be a building block. And while many observers lament the supposed dearth of good coaching, this could be the year that stability makes a comeback. If Tech finds a young, exciting replacement (read: Mark Price) to go with long-term winners Gillen, Krzyzewski, Williams and Odom, the league will be back on track. Despite recent griping, Sendek has State pointed in the right direction, too. Which means that even if Guthridge, Robinson and Clemson’s Larry Shyatt fall by the wayside sooner rather than later, the ACC will have re-established continuity the only way you really can in this era of college hoops: on the bench. Don’t cry for the ACC just because Dave Odom and Mike Krzyzewski do. The pendulum will swing back again.

While Solomon leads the ACC in scoring, Carrawell should be able to hold the Tigers’ leading scorer in check and can utilize his strength advantage over the smaller Clemson guard. Also, Williams should have a field day against Clemson’s inexperienced backcourt, headed by Scott. Even if Duke freshman Mike Dunleavy is still out with mononucleosis, the Blue Devil bench should still be more effective than Clemson’s. Nick Horvath has provided solid minutes orfthe wing, while Matt Christensen has improved with every game, giving the Blue Devils some quality rebounds off the bench Riding high off its emotional victory over archnvilH c UNC last Saturday. Duke promises to be well-rested and pumped up heading into the ACC tournament. However, the Blue Devils must be careful not to look ahead to a possible semifinal rematch with the Tar Heels, and let complacency be a factor tonight.

Duke has come to play in both of its games against Clemson this season and this trend should continue tonight. Solomon will get his points, but expect a multitude ot turnovers by the Tigers, who will be unable to handle Duke’s pressure “D”. Look for Battier and James to continue their hot shooting as well.

Horvath expected to sit behind Brand, Burgess as freshman HORVATH from page 15 the most challenging part

of adjusting to the college game may not be playing, but sitting. “It was definitely hard. I had never sat on the bench before in my life,” Horvath said. “When you sit on the bench, you never know if you’re going in; it’s almost more nerve-wracking than being in the game. [You’re thinking,! ‘What if he puts me in right now or if I never go in?’ Or, ‘lt sucks that I’m not playing.’” Horvath was the first of the Blue Devils’ class of 2003 to commit, but he was also one of the least heralded. His recruitment was as painless as they come. Horvath, an A student at Mounds View High School, said he had a short and simple list of schools —Duke and Stanford. But the Blue Devils’

tradition and fan support made them the only real

choice in Horvath’s mind. He e-mailed with then-associate head coach Quin Snyder for a year before visiting the campus during the summer of 1998. “I came out here and they offered me a scholar-
