language that both the majority and the dissenting opinions used in describing the dangers of smoking, which causes some 400,000 deaths a year in the United States. Although essentially a straightforward ruling on a question of administrative law, the decision paid more than usual attention to the underlying policy issues, as if in recognition that the debate will continue elsewhere. The ruling was welcomed by the industry, but it left cigarette makers still obligated to pay hundreds of billions of dollars to settle lawsuits to recover state health care costs. It also prompted both Vice President A1 Gore and Gov. George W. Bush to call for congressional enactment of stricter controls on tobacco products.

eporter critiques welfare reform Former ambassador takes post at Duke By MARY CARMICHAEL The Chronicle
Michelle Crawford was a welfare success story. Hired for her first job off the rolls, she fell to her knees and said, ‘Thank you Jesus, I’m going to pay taxes!” When she recounted her story at Wisconsin’s State of the State address last year, New York Times poverty reporter Jason DeParle was there to record every nuance of her speech. But when DeParle began writing his story a few
months later, the plotline had shifted. Crawford’s children were in and out of trouble. Her husband was recovering from drug addiction. ‘The transformation in her life was partial and tentative at best,” DeParle said. In the decade DeParle has spent covering poverty and welfare reform for the Times, he has learned his share of tough lessons like this one. But his efforts have also brought him great rewards. Last night, DeParle, Trinity ’B2, received the Futrell Award from the DeWitt Wallace Center for Communications and Journalism.

To James Joseph, the scene on the beach that day in 1973 was emblematic of South Africa as a whole. Marring the beauty of the ocean waves and sandy shores, a sign stuck out of the ground, emblazoned with the words “Whites Only, No Dogs Allowed.” Joseph, the new leader-in-residence of the Hart Leadership Program, was visiting South Africa for the first time on a business outing related to his work as president of the Cummins Engine Foundation. Standing in front of that sign, Joseph took his first steps toward accomplishing his true mission. “I went to gather ammunition for the war—we were a war waging against apartheid,” he said. “Because I was an officer of a multi-national corporation, I had credentials that allowed me to go where most blacks couldn’t. They didn’t see me as an activist—until I made my speech.” That speech, made on the beach that day to media and onlookers, strongly denounced the policies of the apartheid government, and came as a shock James Joseph to the same government that had extended its hospitality to the black American Joseph’s comments had their intended effect, sending waves through the South African public. Many newspapers ran Joseph’s photo on the front page; one headline read, “Black American Says Dignity Insulted.” After receiving threatening phone calls throughout that night, Joseph took the next plane home, scared and appalled by the conditions he had witnessed. But in the more than 25 years since—including the three he just served there as U.S. ambassador—he has remained an activist in a business suit, doing everything in his power to fight for equality there. Sitting at his desk in Durham’s Red Mill Building, Joseph is still fighting. But now, through the Hart Leadership Program and as a professor of the practice at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, his issues and tactics have changed considerably. See JOSEPH on page 9

The effort by the MIAMI Miami relatives of Elian Gonzalez to prevent his return to his father in Cuba was stymied Tuesday when a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit requesting a political asylum hearing for the six-year-old boy, concluding that the long, bitter legal battle is not in Elian’s best interest.

Federal Reserve raises interest rate By RICHARD STEVENSON N.Y. Times News Service
WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve clamped down a bit more on the economy Tuesday, raising interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point in an effort to prevent an outbreak of inflation. The move was no surprise to economists and investors, who had heard repeated hints over the last month from Alan Greenspan, the central bank’s chair, that he intended to stick to his policy of raising rates in small, steady steps until he sees signs that the supercharged economy is throttling back. The stock market, which some analysts consider Greenspan’s main target in raising rates, shrugged
off the news and moved higher after the Fed’s announcement. Apparently relieved that the central bank did not raise rates by a half-point, the Dow Jones industrial average gained 227.10 points, to 10,907.34. The Nasdaq composite index closed at 4,711.68, up 101.68 points. It was the Fed’s fifth quarter-point rate increase since June, and it lifted the benchmark federal funds target rate on overnight loans between banks to 6 percent, its highest level in almost five years. The central bank also announced a raise in its discount rate on loans to banks from the Federal Reserve system by a quarter of a percentage point, to 5.5 percent.

By ELIZABETH CANTER The Chronicle
As one of her long-term objectives, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek has pushed for a peer mediation program—a goal that has been realized as of this semester. “We’re ready as a pilot project—ready and open for business,” Wasiolek said. Although Student Affairs has trained 12 student mediators, only administrators have conducted mediations this semester. Tillery explained that scheduling problems have prevented the participation of student mediators. Wasiolek said that the program, which currently only handles conflicts between undergraduates, will soon incorporate the student mediators. “The one student and one administrative mediator per mediation is the preferred model, but there is flexibility,” she said. Some students say the strong emphasis on administrative input may be a deterrent. “There are already a lot of people around to serve the same purpose,” said Trinity sophomore Lucy Caudillo. “I don’t know how many people want an administrator involved in their private lives,” she added. Trinity junior Mary Margaret Fitch said that she would probably not look to mediation to solve a private conflict. “I’d rather talk to a friend,” she said. “If [the mediator] were a peer at Duke, then I would feel like it wouldn’t necessarily be confidential.” Stephen Bryan, Assistant Dean for Judicial Affairs, said that this mediation initiative will provide another forum for resolving disputes, lessening dependence on the undergraduate judicial process and civil and criminal processes. “We are building a mediation program from the ground up, so right now our approach is trial and error until we get a process established that is the See

But that goal has to compete with the demands of his day job.

Researchers find benefits of less costly drug for heart patients Integrilin, tested nationwide in clinical trials, was shown to cut the number of heart attacks by 40 percent By MARKO DJUKANOVIC The Chronicle
Sometimes, creating a drug that can save heart patients’ lives is not enough; researchers also have to make it afford-
able. A newly tested drug trade-named Integrilin promises to do both. Dr. James Tcheng, a cardiologist at the Duke Clinical Research Institute, led nationwide clinical trials of the drug—also known as eptifibatide—and presented the findings March 14 at the annual scientific meeting ofthe American College of Cardiology. Integrilin, similar to a currently available but expensive drug, wTas shown to cut by 40 percent the number of heart attacks, post-procedure complications and emergency surgeries within 48 hours of a coronary intervention. To prevent clotting after doctors open partially clogged arteries, doctors now intravenously give patients abciximab, also called Reopro. The drug blocks a specific
platelet-to-platelet interaction receptor and thus prevents blood from clotting. Integrilin, the new medicine, performs the same function as Reopro at nearly a quarter of the cost—Integrilin costs about $4OO compared to $1,500 for Reopro. Blocked arteries are a very common ailment among heart patients. In such cases, the blockage interferes with the blood flow and causes heart pain, also called an angina. In a procedure call coronary angioplasty, doctors remove such blockage by inserting a tube into the body and passing it to the heart.
Such coronary interventions are alternatives to surgery and are used only when the number of blocked arteries is fairly low. A catheter and a balloon are used to press the blockage flat and a stent of medical-grade stainless steel is implanted to prop the artery open, restoring bloodflow. Around 600,000 coronary angioplasty procedures are performed in the United States each year—of these, more than 95 percent use stents. But plenty can go wrong in the process, and in about 10 percent of the cases, it does. “The stent is a foreign object in the body, and can often cause blood
clotting to occur” said Tcheng. Blood clotting inside the arteries again restricts blood flow, renewing the earlier condition. Reopro reduces the likelihood of such clots, but doctors say it is too expensive to be widely administered. In this complicated time for medical reimbursements, hospitals receive a fixed fee for the procedure because the majority of patients are covered by Medicare or the hospitals are members of a diagnostic related group, Tcheng explained. As a result, if a hospital provided every one of its heart patients with Reopro, it would either lose money per procedure or the patients would simply not be able to afford it, Tcheng said. Therefore, patients with a high risk of a blood clot forming became the only candidates for Reopro. “Previously, a hospital could only afford to treat about 20 percent of the patients,” said Tcheng, adding that with In-

tegrilin, the hospital could treat almost everyone.
The lower price of Integrilin is mostly a factor of the drug’s manufacturing process. Reopro is expensive to make because it requires monoclonal antibodies, genetic engineering and growth in a deli-
cate bacterial culture. Integrilin is made byway of peptides, which are much easier to synthesize, explained project leader Diane Joseph, who works with Tcheng.

Scholar lambastes inaccuracies in ‘historical’ films Robert Pratt argues many films claim to depict black history, but instead offer meaningless, misleading fiction By VILAS PATHIKONDA The Chronicle The ’7os brought us Shaft and Superfly. The “hood phase” of the ’Bos brought us Menace to Society and Boyz in the ’Hood. The ’9os have brought more “fluff” from BET and two Friday movies. The profit motive has clearly been the driving force behind these one-sided portrayals of AfricanAmerican culture. But Robert Pratt, associate professor of history at the University of Georgia said in a speech yesterday that historical inaccuracies in films like Mississippi Burning are the more deeply disturbing problem. The 1988 film, which tells the story of two white FBI agents who investigate the disappearance of three black civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964, is “bad history,” Pratt said. He said the movie marginalizes blacks roles—portraying them as “meek and helpless” and “in their homes waiting for Klansmen to come and
get them.” He said its filmmaker was intent on sensationalizing the events, which one critic said amounted to a “cinematic lynching.” To show that even good films have their flaws, Pratt showed a clip ofthe award-winning 1989 film Glory, which highlighted the presence of black soldiers in the Civil War. The film accurately depicts the gradual dispelling of the prejudice that blacks would not make good soldiers, Pratt said, but it also features only stereotypical black characters like a wise old man, country boy, intellectual Northerner and young nationalist. He noted that the story is also only told through the eyes of the white commanding officer. Still, unlike other films, “Glory does not stand history on its head,” Pratt said.
Historical films, as opposed to documentaries, are a powerful presence in our post-literate society that can read but does not want to, he said. “How many Europeans have formed their views of the Civil War through Glory?” Because such films have the power to educate masses and to create a visual representation beyond that of books, he talked of viewers of the film
Gandhi who likely had to remind themselves that they were indeed seeing Ben Kingsley’s likeness and not the Mahatma himself. Pratt also recalled a student once asking him, “Who is this Malcolm Ten person?” Pratt had some compliments for Spike Lee’s 1992 epic, Malcolm X, which introduced a generation to the civil rights leader, but he also claimed that it inaccurately depicted Malcolm X as a softer, less angry man—particularly because his role was played by major box-office draw and mainstream actor Denzel Washington. This misrepresentation is partly what is so disturbing to Pratt. “At what point does a historical film become more fiction than history?” Pratt asked. “Invention is used in all movies. They allow us to visualize a past that we could not have witnessed,” Pratt said. However, he added that filmmakers should strive to produce historically accurate representations. He said that bad films will nevertheless be made, and he put the onus on academics and scholars to expose the flaws and set the record straight. “Film and historical record need not be mutually exclusive, but rather mutually reinforcing,” he said. The University’s African and African-American Studies program brought Pratt to campus for the speech. ,

Doctors host public forum to discuss AIDS treatment From staff reports
To help people in the-Triangle and surrounding area better understand the latest developments in AIDS treatment, AIDS specialists from the Medical Center and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will hold a free public forum today. From 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Durham Marriott Hotel, the specialists—Duke’s Dr. John Bartlett, an associate professor in the division of infectious diseases, and UNC’s Dr. Joseph Eron, an assistant professor of medicine—will participate in the fourth annual HIV Treatment Update. Along with the doctors, a panel of HIV patients will be available to discuss their experiences and answer audience questions. Included in the group is 38-year-old Jim Howley, an Ironman triathlete who first tested positive for HIV in the early 1980s and developed full-blown AIDS 18 months later. “The goal of the update is to com-

O’Connor: FDA has no jurisdiction over tobacco � TOBACCO from page
1
majority opinion that the FDA had “amply demonstrated” that tobacco use was “perhaps the single most significant threat to public health in the United States,” sounded at times almost apologetic for her conclusion that the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which the agency used to assert jurisdiction, could not be stretched far enough to accommodate the regulations. In the dissenting opinion, Justice Stephen Breyer said that given nicotine’s highly addictive nature and the “lifethreatening harms” of smoking, the FDA’s authority should be interpreted in light of “its basic purpose—the overall protection of public health.” He said the court should avoid an “overly rigid” interpretation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act “that is divorced from the statute’s overall health-protecting purposes.” Dr. David Kessler, the former FDA commissioner who led the agency in reversing its long-held position that it could not regulate tobacco, said Tuesday that the loss in court had “in some ways moved the issue forward” through the justices’ recognition of the dimensions of the problem as a public-health issue. “We’re in a very different place than wTe were five years ago,” said Kessler, now the dean of Yale Medical School, in an interview.
The court majority Tuesday applied a settled principle of administrative law: if Congress has spoken clearly on a question of an agency’s jurisdiction, or lack of jurisdiction, Congress has the last word. “The FDA’s claim to jurisdiction contravenes the clear intent of Con-
gross,” O’Connor said. The dispute between the majority and dissent was over the clarity of Congress’ intent, which the dissent found to be much less evident. The decision upheld a 1998 ruling by the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, in Richmond, Va. Four cigarette manufacturers—Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., Philip Morris Inc., Lorillard Tobacco Co. and U.S. Tobacco Co.—along with the National Association of Convenience Stores had gone to federal court to challenge the regulations as soon as the FDA formally issued them in 1996. A1997 ruling by Judge William Osteen Sr. of U.S. District Court in Greensboro, N.C., upheld the agency’s jurisdiction over controlling children’s access to cigarettes, but struck down the regulations’ restric-

Activist ambassador turns attention to public ethics JOSEPH from page
1
Along with his joint appointment at Duke and the University of Cape Town, his position as distinguished visitor to the National Humanities Center in
Durham will allow him to work on a book.
The subject of the book reflects Joseph’s current
passion: public values and ethics. His course scheduled for next semester is called Leadership as a Moral Activity.
“For the last decade, much of the discussion about values has focused on micro-ethics, the ethics of human behavior,” he said. “I want to focus on macroethics, the institutional and social system and the public values that build community.” As one of the original members of the Sanford Institute’s Board ofDirectors, Joseph has long-standing ties to Duke. He considered joining the faculty before his ambassadorship and returned to Durham in 1998 to deliver the Hart Distinguished Lecture. Susan King, president of the Hart-affiliated Leadership Initiative, invited Joseph back for the lecture. “We began a little bit of a campaign to see if we couldn’t lure him back to the Duke campus,” she said. “It’s a real coup for Duke that we encouraged him to come here.” King and Joseph met during their work in the Carter administration, while Joseph was undersecretary of the interior. Joseph has also served under three other presidents—Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Bill Clinton. He began his service to President Clinton as chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation for National Service. Then, in late 1995, Clinton appointed him ambassador to South Africa. But Joseph’s controversial past made him an unlikely diplomat. Even after his speech in the sand, Joseph remained a thorn in the side of the South African government, which did not let him into the country until

1990, when the apartheid system began to crumble. Soon after he was allowed back into the country for a business trip, Joseph went to Parliament holding a “Free Mandela” sign. While he stood outside protesting, then-President F.W. DeKlerk declared that he would release Mandela from his 27 years in prison. Once again, Joseph’s picture landed on the front page of South African papers. In January 1996, Joseph presented his credentials to then-President Mandela, who approved him to be an ambassador. With his official papers, Joseph brought along a copy of the “Free Mandela” photo. “It had been a long journey for [Mandela], but it was a reasonably long journey for me,” Joseph said. He now regards Mandela as an incredible inspiration. “I feel very happy to have lived in the 20th century, primarily because I got the opportunity to know
Nelson Mandela,” Joseph said. “He is not simply an icon or cultural hero. He transcends history.” As ambassador, Joseph stayed true to his activist roots, rallying adamantly for South Africa’s welfare and focusing on increasing American investment and promoting an American presence in the nation. “I tried to be objective as an ambassador,” Joseph said, “but objective government only goes so far when
you’re transforming a country.” After the end of his term, Clinton offered Joseph the opportunity to take another ambassadorship, but Joseph declined to return to private life. “I’m not a career ambassador,” Joseph said. “I accepted President Clinton’s appointment because it was South Africa. Now, I’ll return to the most noble and most honored title that a democracy offers: a citizen.”

A collective voice
Regardless
of their professions, all employees have concerns not directly related to the services they are charged with providing. Whether their hours are too long or their salaries too low, in many fields employees turn to unions, either to help solve their problems or to provide outlets to vent grievances. And just because nurses do not work on assembly lines does not mean they do not worry about the same kinds of issues. Nurses at the Duke Hospital are petitioning to start a union affiliated with the International Union of Operating Engineers—a group that comprises other non-medical Duke staffers who work in both the University and Medical Center. Arguing that too many nurses are overworked, that the high patient-to-nurse ratio hampers quality of care and that lines of communication between nurses and administrators are hopelessly blocked, union backers are currently trying to drum up support from a fraction of the Hospital’s 2,000 nurses before calling a final vote. Although it is not yet clear how many nurses would choose to join a union, the prospect of a unifying organization should be promising to those employees who do have significant grievances. Nurses are legally unable to strike, but a union would likely provide a potent, credible voice to counter the otherwise unchallenged stance of the Hospital brass. Whether nurses see their concerns disappear through a viable seat at the bargaining table—or merely find comfort in knowing that someone understands what those concerns are —a union would give these employees an essential presence in the hospital organization to complement their essential presence in the hospital wards. While much of the nurses’ pro-union rhetoric involves their desire to improve patient care, the concerns they raise may not necessarily lead directly to that end. Given the financial see-saw that the hospital must balance, it is unclear whether improving nurses’ working conditions will result in better care overall. But patient care is certainly at stake in this unionization movement. If nurses do find themselves happier and well-rested—whether because they are able to vent or because their complaints are ultimately addressed —their personal health will translate to improving that of their patients. In a time when hospital patients interact with nurses more frequently than they see their doctors, the role of the nurse is becoming increasingly important. And as these pressures build, a union can help diffuse nurses’ mounting frustration.

E-mail this man for free tickets to the Final Four As an alumnus who attended Duke from 1977 to 1986, I watched Duke’s men’s basketball team surprise everyone and go to number two in the nation under Coach Bill Foster in 1978, and then I went to the Final Four in 1986 to watch us go to number two under Coach K. As you can imagine, I am still a fanatical Duke basketball fan. So last year, I entered the NCAA lottery for tickets for
this year’s Final Four. I got a pair of tickets and, even though the seats are really bad, I was planning to go. However, things have come up that prevent me from attending, and while I’m sure that I could scalp the tickets for quite a bit, I’d rather just give the tickets to a pair of Duke students. Right—l mean “give” as in “free”—l don’t even want the $l6O face value. If you would like to have
the tickets, e-mail me at
DMassey@neu.edu. I think that I’ll read the first 20 or so messages, and send the tick-
ets to whoever sounds like the most intense fan. Now I just have to get used to the fact that, instead of going to the Final Four, I’ll have to settle for watching us win another national championship on television.

Young corrects misstatement, clarifies goals for ICC In the Feb. 29 edition of The Chronicle, an article summarizing my candidacy for Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction said this about my views the regarding Council: Intercommunity “Because members are so busy, Young said he will make meetings less mandatory, allowing group representatives to skip meetings when the agenda does not concern them.” In no way did I say that meetings should be “less mandatory.” In fact, the for referenced article,
problem has little to do with how mandatory each meeting is. The problem is that several ICC executive members don’t go to meetings because they feel the agenda doesn’t concern them. are Student leaders extremely busy and their time is valuable. As chair of the ICC, I would meet with each student leader at the beginning of the year to assess their goals, and do my best to make sure that each ICC meeting helps to fulfill those goals. ICC members would attend meetings
because each meeting would benefit their organization. Using the ICC as a forum to discuss major campus issues and as a place to share ideas will create a framework that will actively serve student group concerns. This will help fulfill the goals of the brand-new Student Affairs Collaboration Committee. Sean Young Trinity ’O2

Bergsman understands University’s honor system This Duke Student Government runoff election provides me with the opportunity to publicly express my strong support and endorsement of Trinity junior Jason Bergsman for the position ofvice president for academic affairs. I have known and worked with Jason for more than two years on the Honor Council and have had the opportunity to witness his exceptional skill at solving problems, his deep understanding of academic issues at the University, as well as his rare dedication of time
and effort to whatever issue or task is being addressed. He has been a very valuable member of the council, as he is with every organization and endeavor in which he is involved. As indicated by Trinity junior David Nigro’s recent column about the Honor Code, Duke still has a long way to go before becoming the kind of academic community characterized by mutual trust and respect between students and faculty. Like other members of the Honor Council, Jason is highly critical of the flaws in the
current system. If elected, his foreknowledge of the major issues will allow him to respond vigorously to reform efforts currently underway, such as the work of the Integrity Academic Assessment Committee. Jason will be a most responsive and dedicated advocate for student issues and concerns, and I hope that you will join me in voting for him tomorrow. .

Reforming the primary system States with late primaries like North Carolina are at a disadvantage in having their voices heard Rant, Rave & Squaredance Maureen McClarnon In the interest of full disclosure, I’m going to admit one of my most shameful secrets: I didn’t register to vote until I was 20. Yep, I shirked my duty, and George Bush went and won on the coat-
tails of Ronald Reagan. But now I’m possessed with a reformer’s zeal—I take the whole voting thing very seriously. So I’m very disappointed with this charade known as the presidential primaries. I want my vote to mean something when I go to the polls—isn’t that part of the deal? I’m not content with the illusion of having a role in democracy. Is this what my suffragette foremothers fought for, the right for my voice to be lost in a wind that only blows in one direction? I think not. Let’s face the facts: The present primary system privileges states that hold their primaries before and during Super Tuesday. The first state on the docket doesn’t even utilize a popular vote, but a caucus vote—how representative is that? Then there’s New Hampshire, the first popular vote primary; it’s so popular, in fact, that candidates start visiting five to six months ahead of time so the rest of the country can be treated to images of presidential hopefuls mingling with the Granite State’s salt-ofthe-earth folk in quaint diners in tiny burgs. Live free or die! (They don’t have a sales tax, but rents and property taxes are high; their version offreedom is just
a tradeoff. And when a state depends upon property taxes, you know that finding money to improve, say, schools or social services is nearly impossible.) Is New Hampshire really a microcosm of America? Let’s take a look at some 1998 population projections from the census (by the way, don’t forget to send in your forms) web site and see how New Hampshire stacks up demographically. The first thing I noticed is that New
Hampshire is overwhelmingly white—-
-98.9 percent, much higher than the nation’s 83 percent clip. The United States is 13 percent African-American and 11 percent Hispanic (both white and non-white); New Hampshire’s version of diversity is 0.7 percent AfricanAmerican and 2 percent Hispanic. (I know there are other racial and ethnic categories, but these were the most glaring discrepancies.) Voters in New Hampshire simply are not dealing with many of the issues that top the lists of many other states—-
including North Carolina. They aren’t concerned with having enough resources to offer bilingual education to the children of immigrants, or to help end racial discrepancies in educational attainment, to name two issues close to the hearts of North Carolinians. So what about the rest of us, the residents of states not lucky enough to have early primaries? We don’t get our concerns brought to the national eye (and onto the larger slate of electoral issues) because nobody needs to court us with great intensity until later in the year. North Carolina didn’t get a chance to push candidates to help with the continuing trauma of Hurricane Floyd’s aftermath. And the leftover states lose out on

Abdullah AhArian and Laila EhHaddad We may have entered a new millennium, but two
decades have passed since the cries for revolution were
first heard in Iran. Since then, the world has watched as a seemingly “fundamentalist” Iran has flourished into a progressive democracy, evidenced by the recent elections in which the Reformist party won its firstever majority in Parliament. But one thing hasn’t changed during the past 21 years: the strained U.S.Iranian relationship—or so it seemed until recently. There has been much talk about Iran’s new parliament and its implications on relations with the U.S. Many would like to assume that the Reformist party will undo the revolution and all that it has brought. This is not the case. Following the elections, the president of Iran said, “reform is in the spirit of the revolution and in no way signals a retreat from its principles.” This becomes especially significant when we examine the constantly evolving state of AmericanIranian relations. The success of reformers during the Iranian elections prompted the U.S. to attempt to persuade the riew government to start talking. And this way was through pistachios, caviar and carpets. Last vv «ek, the United States government took the first steps in removing economic sanctions placed on Iran following the hostage crisis of 1979.

Duke a three-match losing streak. After dropping road matches last weekend to UCLA and Pepperdine, the No. 2 Blue Devils (9-4) returned home yesterday and lost to ninthranked Baylor, 5-2. “We’ve lost three matches in a row, and we’ve played three top-seven teams,” Lapidus said. “It’s kind of frustrating. Maybe I scheduled too hard. You get on a negative roll, and it’s hard to turn that around. I’m kind of at a loss.” While Lapidus grapples to find away to turn his team’s misfortunes around, the coach will first examine the play of his doubles’ teams. Playing unemotionally, Duke lost the doubles point to Baylor (12-3), dropping both the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches.
The doubles point does not a tennis match make, though. Playing at No. 6 singles, freshman Joel Spicher made quick work of Baylor’s Mark Williams, who along with partner David Hodge, had shined in doubles play against the third-ranked Blue Devil duo of Doug Root and Ramsey Smith.

Tiny Gonzaga continues as tournament Cinderella stor By VICTOR ZHAO The Chronicle
Somewhere along the muddy banks of the Spokane River sits a small, picturesque, 94-acre Jesuit university. About a stone’s throw away from downtown Spokane, the 104 buildings dotting the lush grassland poke out innocently. What’s the big deal about this place? The 4,000-or-so students here will tell you this is the school that produced famed crooner Bing Crosby; they will tell you about the school’s rich academic tradition or the supportive religious
environment. But if you hang around long enough, especially around this time of year, you may just find out perhaps the biggest

secret in college basketball—that this seemingly quiet campus is home to a budding hoops powerhouse that has made more noise than just about anyone in the last two years. You’re at Gonzaga, one of only five schools to have appeared in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament the last two seasons. You’re at Gonzaga, where Cinderella has called home during the last two episodes of March Madness. You’re at Gonzaga, home to a group of blue-collar Bulldogs who have surprised everyone but themselves for two years running. “When we are old and retired, we will look back and get amazed at what we’ve
done,” resident sharpshooter Richie Frahm said. “It took until last summer to realize what we did last year. We don’t plan on going home anytime soon.” For the second straight year, the Bulldogs began the tournament as a lowly 10-seed but blitzed their way
through the first two rounds by upending the two-seed in the second round. Last year, it was a Stanford team that fell victim to a sizzling 11-for-20 performance by the ’Zags from behind the arc. And last Saturday, it was guard Matt Santangelo who twisted the knife into St. John’s with a 26-point performance that included the game-clinching
three-pointer. You can call them Cinderellas, those in the know call them something else

damn good. “I think they’ve got a really good chance of going to the Final Four,” St. John’s coach Mike Jarvis said. “There is a time and a place for everything and maybe this is their time. It wasn’t meant for us. Maybe it’s meant for Gonzaga.” But Jarvis would be wrong. Teams destined for the Final Four don’t run out of recruiting money midway through fall recruiting, like Gonzaga did this year. Teams destined for the Final Four don’t have trouble recruiting because their targets are told to stay away from ‘small-time’ schools, something Gonzaga head coach Mark Few and his predecessor Dave Monson are intimately familiar with. So how does this small school playing in the West Coast Conference whose only connection to basketball is the Utah Jazz’s John Stockton come within 20 seconds of the Final Four one year and look poised for yet another run one year later?

As usual, Terps, Bearcats, Temple not worth all the hype
Watch out for the typical tournament favorites when making predictions, but above all, beware of Axel Dench just say, you’re sitting around at tournament time. What should you be aware of? Of all the things going on, what is the on thing to look out for? You guessed it—Temple. That’s what they all say. “Come tournament time, you better watch out for Temple.” You hear this from everybody, Dick Vitale, Digger Phelps, Clark Kellogg, Chris Fowler, Greg Gumbel, even Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit I think. But where is Temple, and its unbeatable, impenetrable, two-three match-up zone? Sitting at home, just like Lamar, Winthrop, Jackson State and 44 other teams.

And the team to eliminate the 0w15... none other than a Seton Hall team that lives and breathes through Shaheen Holloway. Oh yeah, Holloway went down in the opening minutes of the game and did not return. The vaunted match-up zone, as it is called by many an analyst, was dissected by none other than Ty Shine, Holloway’s replacement who torched the Owls for 27 points. Shine only averaged 7.7 points per game for the season. ESPN analyst Greg Collins made the brilliant comment in his Temple tournament outlook, “An ill-prepared team (like a second or fourth round match-up) will not be prepared for the nuances to [Temple’s defense] and could be frustrated.” Riiiight.

expect Temple to make such a great run in the tourney every year? Let’s look at the facts; that might help
explain things. Last season, Temple made a run to the regional finals before falling to top-seed Duke. In its previous five seasons in the tourney, the Owls put up a goose egg in the Sweet 16 column, not one appearance. Of its last seven appearances in the tournament, Temple has made it through the gauntlet that is the second round just once. Moreover, John Chaney has compiled a tourney record of just 20-16. But come March, whatever you do, beware of those Temple Owls. You know the old children’s tale from the sea, “Misery loves company?” Many an NCAA disappointment does. So who else is meeting up in a bar with Temple to drink their sorrows away while watching the rest of the tournament on a big screen television? Well, you can rest assured that “Huggie bear” is there curled up next to the fire in a black monogrammed turtle-neck. Cincinnati gets plenty of hype every year, but the hype usually ends around the second week of March. Granted, this year had some extenuating circumstances, but what about the previous six seasons? One trip past the second round. Maybe all the Bearcat players just hate missing too much class and want to get back for some quality time in the library. And how about those goalpost-carrying Terps? Very impressive; a 5-5 mark in the tourney over the last five
UCLA Saturday. Too bad they didn’t have Steve Francis. Oh, they couldn’t advance too far with him either, could they? Arizona and Lute Olsen, a controversial top seed, There was no need for controversy, Wisconsin proved that. It’s one thing to fall in a heartbreaker, but the Wildcats were basically dominated by the Badgers for 40 minutes. I wonder if Wisconsin employs a twothree match-up zone? Probably not, that defense is a fluke anyway. But Arizona made a solid run last season, falling in the opening round to Oklahoma. The year before that, the Cats received another No. 1 seed. Unfortunately that trip came to an abrupt halt after a 25-point smashing at the hands of Utah. On the other side ofthe coin, there are some teams you have to tip your hat to. Gene Keady and the Boilermakers, these guys are making their third straight appearance in the Sweet 16. Stanford makes a run to the Final Four two years ago and gets high seeds in each of the following years. Gonzaga just missed the Final Four by a few points last season, and what do they get? Another 10 seed. No problem. The ’Zags are taking care of business again this year, poised to take the next step. And why shouldn’t they? Their center’s name is Axel Dench. And, of course, there’s Duke, Enough said. So, when next March rolls around, keep your eyes peeled. I beg of you, watch for Temple. I feel certain that the Owls will be ready for another upset-minded tournament spurt. If by some terrible chance you have to take on the Owls and their dominating twothree match-up zone, I suggest you go find yourself a Ty Shine to save the day. It worked for Tommy Amaker.

Although Carolina has had considerable success this season, Pressler is quick to note that Duke has played a tougher schedule than the Tar Heels. “They’ve had some nice wins, but Carolina has not faced the schedule that we have,” Pressler said. To beat Carolina, Duke’s top offensive threats—Nick Hartofilis, Greg Patchak and T. J. Duman—need to have strong offensive showings. The attack unit is extremely talented, but in Duke’s recent skid, the offense has failed to live ,
up to expectations “We have to get going offensively,”
Pressler said. “We have underachieved offensively this year, and our players know that. lam very confident that our guys will bring their‘A’games [tonight].” Pressler also believes that playing only four days after losing to Brown will be to his team’s sm advantage, “[After losing], we don’t have to wait a |i Jm week to get back after it again.

The EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. issued a zero-tolerance policy NHL against irresponsible use of the stick yesterday, suspending New Jersey Devils defenseman Scott Niedermayer for 10 games for hitting Florida’s Peter Worrell over the helmet with his stick. The ruling, which will sideline Niedermayer through the Devils’ first playoff game, comes a month after Boston defenseman Marty McSorley was suspended for the final 23 games of the regular season for hitting Vancouver’s Donald Brashear on the side of the head with a two-handed swing. McSorley’s punishment was the harshest in NHL history but even that could not repair the embarrassment the league suffered from the attack in which Brashear received a serious concussion that sidelined him for the season. While Niedermayer’s attack against Worrell late in Sunday’s game against the Panthers didn’t seem as vicious as McSorley’s blindside hit on Brashear, he precedents.
