The Chronicle Reform rabbis’ decision raises questions for CJL By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

Some people call homosexuals’ struggle for equality the next civil rights movement. And now it has fallen into the University’s lap.

After the Central Conference of American Rabbis decided last week to allow, but not require, its members to perform same-sex unions, Freeman Center for Jewish Life officials must now decide whether their facility will allow this controversial ceremony. Although many of the officials seem

enthusiastic about the possibility of at least allowing outside rabbis to perform these unions on campus, the decision still faces political obstacles, “I think it’s an important issue in Jewish life and I support [the Rabbis’ decision] completely,” said Eric Meyers, a CJL board member and Burnoose and Morton Lemer Professor of Religion. “I don’t know how it will impact the CJL. From my point of view, I have no problem with it. I would hope that whomever would make the decision would support it.” Members of the CJL board have discussed the possibility in the past and will likely tackle it more formally in coming weeks. The final decision will rest with CJL director Roger Kaplan. Kaplan said the question of same-sex unions will probably meet some opposition. “But the question is probably going

to come up, and we want to come to a community consensus. We haven’t made a decision yet because nobody’s come to us and we were hoping to get a rabbi who could bring us some insight from Jewish heritage and teachings.” Last week, the center hired Conservative rabbi Bruce Seltzer, whose branch of Judaism does not allow its rabbis to perform the ceremonies. Seltzer said he is wary ofcommenting on policy issues until he takes the post in July. “We have just hired a rabbi who belongs to the Conservative movement,” Kaplan said. “I believe that if it is a Reform rabbi who wants to use our space [to perform a same-sex union], yes we would do it.” That decision could cause a stir, especially among the strictest Jews, whose sects tell them the ceremony is antithetical to biblical law. On the other hand, a refusal to permit the ceremony could alienate more liberal members of the community.

Although its new rabbi is Conservative, the center was built to serve all members of the campus Jewish community. Its offerings range from Reform high holiday services to a kosher kitchen that is required by Orthodox and Conservative Jews. But the center’s attempts to foster pluralism have not always been successful—some local Orthodox Jews will not eat at its restauSee

Politician looks at GPSC elects next year’s president religious leadership After a bit of prodding, Cybelle McFadden accepted the group’s nomination By DREW KLEIN

By LATASHA DAVIDSON The Chronicle Rev, Emanuel Cleaver 11, former mayor of

Kansas City, Mo,, addressed the issue of separation of church and state in a Divinity School speech yes-

terday. Cleaver represents American government’s complex interaction with “political Christians,” yet he said that he did not feel any conflict in his dual role as the city’s first black mayor and senior pastor at a large urban church. Labeled as “Satan unmasked” by many people who felt that religious leaders should not serve the secular world as well, Cleaver expressed many people’s viewpoint that politics are “quarrelsome” with religious faith. Often, he said, high-profile religious leaders espouse their own personal political positions and proclaim that they are God-directed. Often, he noted, “This voice of God is our own voice in disguise.” He argued that political Christians should show their goodness and honor through their actions. Cleaver comes from a long histoiy of political and spiritual activism. He became involved in the civil rights movement at age 15, worked under Martin Luther King Jr. and later became the Midwest regional vice president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. As mayor ofKansas City between 1991 and 1999, Cleaver passed a civil rights See CLEAVER on page 8 P-

Japan elects Mori as prime minister

The new leader is expected to follow the policies of ailing Keizo Obuctii By

CHISAKIWATANABE

Associated Press Japan’s Parliament TOKYO elected Yoshiro Mori as the new prime minister Wednesday, ending a political crisis created by the sudden collapse ofKeizo Obuchi, who was on life support after suffering a stroke. The former trade minister was elected in a binding lower house vote following his installment earlier in the day as president of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party. The upper house also then voted its approval. Obuchi held both posts, but has been in a coma since his collapse Sunday. The changeover was not expected to significantly affect Japan’s na-

tional policies. Mori vowed to stick with Obuchi’s reforms, noting that his greatest task would be to continue efforts to bring Japan’s economy out of its decade-long slump. “I had prayed for the prime minister’s recovery,” Mori said earlier in accepting the party presidency. “I will do my best to live up to the nation’s expectations.” Government ministers had promised to move swiftly to avoid a political vacuum after Obuchi’s collapse. The entire Cabinet resigned Tuesday, paving the way for the quick selection of the new prime minister. Mori needed 245 votes for a majority in the lower house, and re-

ceived 335 votes. A total of 488 votes were cast. That vote was binding so even if the upper house had gone against him, Mori would have become prime minister. But he won 137, a solid majority of the 244 votes cast in the upper house, Mori and his new Cabinet were expected to be sworn in by Emperor Akihito later in the day. His new Cabinet will most likely be the same as the old, with only the top spot changed. Mori was assured approval as prime minister because of the LDP’s majority in the lower house, There were signs of a slight m provement in Obuchi’s condition Wednesday, said an aide to one ol Obuchi’s closest allies.

Ruling points to more Microsoft lawsuits By STEVE LOHR

N.Y. Times News Service

In the wake of a federal judge’s antitrust ruling, Microsoft Corp. now faces the threat of a rising wave of consumer class-action cases and other private lawsuits. With Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson having ruled that Microsoft is a “predatory” monopolist that repeatedly violated antitrust laws, private plaintiffs have a far less daunting challenge in suits already filed—and in actions being considered by companies that believe they have suffered from abuse of Microsoft’s market power. This is now an awfully big invitation to plaintiffs’ lawyers,” said John Coffee, a professor at the Columbia University law school. “We may have reached a point for Microsoft, as there was in the tobacco cases, that

basic attitudes have shifted, and a powerful defendant is no longer seen as invulnerable.” Jackson’s judgment was not surprising, after his findings of fact in November sided with the version ol the case presented in court by the Justice Department and 19 states. But this week’s ruling was a crucial step because it means that many ofhis findings may be ao cepted as proof by other courts in private suits. Several companies that could now step forward as

plaintiffs sent witnesses to Jackson’s courthouse to testify on behalf of the government, including Netscape, America Online, Sun Microsystems, Apple and IBM. In his ruling, Jackson cited all those compa nies as having suffered from Microsoft’s “oppressive thumb on the scale of competitive fortune.”

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill may face a budget shortfall, but it’s not due to the performance of its endowment. The UNC-CH’s investment fund grew by a whopping 29 percent during calendar year 1999. As a result, it has joined exclusive company as only the seventh public institution to amass a 10-figure endowment. “Discipline with respect to investment strategy and implementation of that strategy has been the primary driver of success,” explained Mark Yusko, UNCCH’s chief investment officer. While the school’s endowment rose steadily throughout most of the 19905, there has been a strong upswing recently. The school had a barely above average rate of return over the past three, five and ten year periods, but it is in the top 20 percent of its peer institutions for the last two years. Two years ago, the school created a professional investment office to help develop the endowment. “Calendar 1999 was very strong for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that we are in a very strong period for the capital markets, and a rising tide raises all boats,” Yusko said. Yusko pointed to Carolina’s sound investment strategies as a key factor. See UNC ENDOWMENT on page 7 �

are also some hazards. For instance, salads can also be high in fat and salt. Alpine owner Chris Sullivan said that his eatery alone sells between 300 and 350 salads each day. “We put a bunch of combinations on the menu that just happen to be very popular,” he said. Sullivan attributes the success of Alpine’s salads to good taste, but also to health. “There’s plenty of choices of food on campus, some healthy, some not,” he said. “This is one ofthe healthier choices.” The daily wait in line at Alpine and at the Great Hall and Marketplace’s salad bars are telltale signs of the dish’s popularity. Trinity freshman Emily Roemer, who said she tries to eat a salad with dinner every night, agrees that salad is a necessary alternative to the less healthy foods around on campus. “I like the idea of having some vegetables,” she said. Tm sure not all the dressings are healthy, but in general, [salads arel good to have.” Franca Alphin, nutritionist and administrative directorof the Medical Center’s Diet and Fitness Center, said that for the most part, salads are a nu-

tritious option. “They offer a nice sup-

ply of fiber, vitamins and minerals,” she said. “Salads have two of the six vital micronutrients you need to live.” But she warned that consumers often mistake all salads as nutritious. “Depending on what you add, you can’t assume that salad is a diet or health food,” she said. Certain ingredients significantly lower the health benefits. “If you’re adding croutons, a lot of dressing, eggs and bacon, then it’s almost unhealthy,” she said. “You’re getting a food that’s high in fat and calories.” Salt, which is found in croutons and dressing among other ingredients, also poses a hazard, Alphin said, “Many of those high-fat options have a lot of salt, which you need to watch out for if you have a high blood pressure.” Alphin added that even those salads that minimize high-fat ingredients still often lack nutrients. “If you really are looking to be healthy, you should be adding in your dark green, leafy vegetables, your shredded cabbage, your broccoli,” she said. “When

you only have iceberg lettuce, there’s no real health benefits.” She also remarked that salads are sometimes used as a weight-loss mechanism, “If you’re eating just a salad with lettuce, then you’re not getting enough calories,” she said “It’s an under-eating issue when you get no protein, no fat, no starch ”

According to Dining Services’ “Nutrition on Campus” web page, strictly vegetable diets lack nutrients such as vitamin 812, vitamin D, calcium, zinc and iron, as well as the energy derived from carbohydrates. Even using a salad to supplement a regular diet does not guarantee nutrition. Alphin explained that because vitamins are particularly sensitive to heat and light, prepared salads tend to lose some of their vitamin value. Sullivan said that Alpine chills its salads at between 40 and 55 degrees to keep them fresh. “It starts with getting fresh produce and using the right procedures,” he said He added that Alpine does not use preservatives to keep the lettuce from wilting.

Durham-based company tests potential AIDS treatment Dr. Dani Bolognesi, CEO of Trimeris and a former Duke researcher, hails the significance of clinical trials with T-20 By JENNIFER SONG The Chronicle

A new drug being tested by a local company may give AIDS patients a new weapon to fight their disease. Trimeris, a Durham-based company, is currently running clinical trials on a peptide drug called T-20. In initial tests involving over 150patients, T-20 has shown short-term, immediate success and has lowered the concentration of HIV in the bloodstream by as much as two orders of magnitude. ‘These results should pre-

Scholar examines impending effects of global warming By JULIA WILHELM The Chronicle

Although much controversy still surrounds the

possibility of human-induced climate change, de-

bate within the scientific community is beginning to focus on how much and how soon this seemingly inevitable phenomenon will affect life on Earth in the coming years.

In a Tuesday afternoon lecture, climate change

expert Jerry Mahlman told his audience that the consequences are much more immediate than is

often portrayed. “Even the dull effects, the conservative estimates, are scary enough,” said Mahlman, director of the geophysical fluid dynamics laboratory at Princeton University.

Mahlman said that by using global-mean surface temperature averages taken since the 18th century, scientists could have recognized much earlier that the earth is warming, and that the process is caused by increased carbon dioxide levels associated with the burning of fossil fuels. “If we had been hip enough in the 19505, we would have realized that the earth had already begun to warm due to human effects half a century ago,” he said. Now that scientists do understand the trend, many projections suggest that substantial rises in mean earth temperature are likely in the next century and beyond. “We don’t have a clue how to keep the carbon dioxide level from doubling from pre-industrial Revolution levels in the next century,” Mahlman said. “In fact, a quadruple seems more likely.” While the long-term dangers of global warming

are obvious, Mahlman discussed potential consequences that may occur during the 21st century. For example, he noted that if carbon dioxide levels double, the July mean 24-hour average temperature for the southeast United States will likely increase from 80 to 88 degrees, and the heat index

could jump to 92 degrees. If carbon dioxide levels quadruple, the mean temperature could climb to 96 degrees, with a heat index of 104. “For the three billion people living in tropical environments, the summertime will be by no means pleasant 100 years from now,” he said. Also, Mahlman said that a rise in the carbon dioxide level—and the subsequent increase in the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere—could cause an 8.5 percent increase in tropical wind speed.

However, Duke Stores is the only department that currently uses an independent contractor to maintain part of their site, their gift catalog.

By BARBARA WHITAKER N.Y. Times News Service LOS ANGELES Three years after race-based admission policies were abolished at the University of Califor-

nia, the number of black, Hispanic and American Indian freshmen who will enter next fall has rebounded to above what it was when affirmative action measures were in place. But a significant disparity can still be found at the university’s flagship campuses and at Berkeley, as well as at San Diego and Santa Barbara. And the percentage of those minorities enrolled as freshmen will decrease to 17.6 percent in the fall of 2000 from 18.8 percent in 1997, the last year of affirmative action.

At the University of California at Berkeley, the number ofblack, Hispanic and American Indian freshmen will drop to 1,169 this fall from 1,778 in 1997. Still, that is an increase over the 717 admitted in 1998 and 990 in 1999. The figures at the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles were much the same, with underrepresented minorities down 1,449 next fall from 2,010 in 1997. Overall, in the eight schools in the state university system, enrollment of minority freshmen will rise to 7,336 next fall, from 7,236 in 1997. At the same time, the number of black, Hispanic and American Indian students on the Irvine, Riverside and Santa Cruz campuses will increase to 6,650 this fall, from 4,822 in 1997.

Scholar explores SIB mark opens some doors for UNC global warming MAHLMAN from page 5

“We are looking at a dramatic increase in

precipitation and maximum intensity of hurri-

canes, which is alarming in light of the recent

devastation caused by Hurricane Floyd at the

current level,” he explained.

Although Mahlman recognized that “all potential impacts remain poorly quantified,” he predicted that human-induced climate change will have social implications. “Loss of agricultural productivity and areas of public health concerns in countries not as rich or technologically advanced could be a catastrophe,” he said. Due to political and economic concerns, little is currently being done to curb carbon dioxide emissions, especially as the developing world attempts to catch up with more industrially advanced countries. He also noted that the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to do nothing to limit emissions as long as the developing world increased output. Mahlman pointed out that problems could build up in the future if the issue continues to be ignored. “It is like a bathtub being filled up one drop at a time,” he said. “But give it a century.”

ENDOWMENT from page 3 Despite this success story, UNC-CH’s financial difficulties remain—the University had close to a $7 million shortfall last year. Approximately 5 percent of the endowment will be spent on improvements. “[Five percent] is a general rule of thumb as far as what is a reasonable level to spend,” said Joni Worthington, associate vice president of communications. The investment fund is a collection of over 1,700 endowed gifts that support a wide variety of campus programs, including scholarships, fellowships and profes-

sorships. Carolina officials determine the percentage

of the endowment that will be spent each year.

Yusko noted that reaching plateaus like the $5OO million and $1 billion mark open up different kinds of investment opportunities. “For many years, we have followed the same investment strategy that all the leading schools—such as Yale, Stanford, Princeton and Texas—have used to

grow their funds,” he said. “We justhave been taking smaller Tbite sizes’ of the same investment opportunities.” Harvard has the largest endowment in the country at $14.2 billion. The University of Texas is second overall—and first among public universities—at $8 billion. Duke has an endowment of $1.68 billion. UNO’s investment strategy allocates 25 percent ofthe capital to domestic equities, 15 percent to international equities and 15 percent to private equities, which includes venture capital investments. UNC-CH’s Investment Fund featured a 76 percent return on international equities, 41 percent on domestic equities and a staggering 133 percent on venture capital opportunities. Carolina’s endowment was hurt by the poor performance of its bonds, which makes up 15 percent of its investment portfolio. These investments lost 8 percent last year. Yusko said that investment fund managers may reduce the reliance on bonds to 10 percent.

Shooting down foolishness Recent gun control legislation is missing

the mark—America needs to work toward banning handguns

than 10,000 Americans are killed each year by handguns. No matter what position you take regarding gun control, this fact is undeniable. In the past week, two states, Maryland and Massachusetts, have taken steps toward increased regulation of handguns. The Maryland legislature is attempting to pass laws that allow only so-called “smart guns” by the year 2003. In the meantime, Maryland is poised to begin requiring child safety locks on all guns. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts began a new system ofhandgun regulation this week; handguns in the Bay State are now subject to the same regulations that are placed on other consumer products. So far, these new regulations have amounted to child safety locks and a ban on the sale of “Saturday night special” handguns. These are flawed attempts at handgun control. These provisions give the false impression that if enough regulations and laws are passed, all the handguns in America will become safe. However, in creating this image of a “safe handgun,” a greater fact is overlooked—there is no such thing as a safe handgun. Any handgun, be it locked in a safe, equipped with smart-gun technology or attached to a child-safety device, can be unlocked or activated to kill someone else. The number of children accidentally killing others is only a small percentage of the thousands of people who die from handguns each year. The federal government must pass a national handgun ban. The need for this legislation is immediate and vital. First, Congress must outlaw the use and possession of handguns. Without a doubt, such a law would be challenged by handgun advocacy groups. Regardless of the impending constitutional hurdle that such a bill would face, it is about time that the Second Amendment was taken to task. Even if a ban on handguns (not including hunting firearms) did survive a Constitutional test, the next step must be passing a Constitutional amendment to ban handguns. The Second Amendment has outlived its usefulness—we no longer live in a society of illequipped state militias, and the ambiguous “arms” that the second 4 amendment protects begs clarification, The best way to clear up the gun control debate’s rhetoric and this ambiguous language is to throw it all out and replace it with a clear amendment declaring that only Americans who have been trained and passed background checks and firearms safety tests have a right to bear arms for hunting. Our epidemic level of handgun violence is not going to dissipate with state-by-state measures that nibble around the edges of a larger problem. The only handgun control that will work is an absolute prohibition.

Duke’s physician assistant program, which awards its graduates a master’s degree in health sciences, is ranked number one in the nation, as it has been for the past several years. The PA profession began here at the University over 30 years ago with the pioneering work of Dr. Eugene Stead. The program’s history—coupled with excellent instruction and a highly competent, caring staff—make it a program that we, as students, are universally proud to be a part of. Certainly, these factors are much more important to

The land of freedom and inequalities

Sexuality, lies and the Bible The Proverbial

Letters from the Left Will Tyson Ben Weller This is America, home of the free, In this country, “law and order” is kept by a vigilant police force armed with semi-automatic weapons and nightsticks. Sometimes, “law and order” is used to lynch blacks. Two hundred years since this country was founded on principles of equality before the law, the meaning of equality remains the same. Amadou Diallo was equal to all other poor urban blacks, and he got his punishment by the law. His killers were equal to all other guardians of the white elite, and they were... acquitted. The principle is well understood, invoking a strong Nazi-like patriotism in some. “It fills me with profound respect for being an American and for living in a country that has a trial by jury,”announced New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani after the acquittal of four police officers who fired 41 shots at immigrant Amadou Diallo as he stood outside his home in the Bronx. Giuliani, of course, clearly understands what it means to be “American.” Liberal apologists who seek to explain the meaning of the shooting and the acquittal are the ones missing the mark. Forty-one shots are not a mistake. The acquittal was not simply a flaw in the system. This is the system, and it is one rooted in white male dominance and the rule of force. The system is working perfectly—as long as police stay out of prison and are free to use deadly force at will. “But the system is supposed to treat people equally,” some will say. Right-wingers eat this one up. They understand that equality, in any meaningful sense of the word, is not one of the tenets of American capitalism. Indeed, it is inequality which maintains the system, The majority must never enjoy the same rights and privileges that the wealthy few have. A police force—whose function is to protect property and those who own property—is needed to enforce minority rule. As guardians of property and the class structure, police must enjoy rights afforded only to the minority, including the right to kill. The need to protect property rights over all others had been realized well before the founding of the United States ofAmerica, and it finds expression in the Constitution. James Madison’s writings on the rights of minorities were speaking most often of“the minority ofthe opulent.” Diallo was a “minority,” just not the right kind. The Bronx is not known for its wealth. Its residents are not the owners of property, and can therefore only be a threat to those who are. Diallo was an “enemy” as soon as the police saw him. The implications of all of this are that there will continue to be Diallos, Louimas and Kings because a poor black man can never be equal to a white cop—the system would no longer work. In life, Amadou Diallo possessed only the right to obey. In death there still is no justice. The acquittal of his killers seems to have effectively shown the New York Police Department, and surely other police forces, that killing civilians is acceptable. Indeed, the murders are mounting in New York as Giuliani continues to push his aggressive policing policies and shield his killer cops from justice. The lesson was learned long ago, however, and Amadou Diallo and Patrick Dorismond are only some of the more recent examples. It is a lesson that was taught in the days of plantation slavery and in the murders of Black Panthers in the ’6os and ’7os. It’s really quite simple: The rich and their guardians have the right to kill, the poor have the right to obey.

Any scholar of the written word will likely say that any text is mutilated when it is partitioned into simple quotes. If you want to believe something according to your moral standard, that is just fine. To misrepresent and mangle the Bible in order to justify it is an affront to the Word. It also carries an interesting irony by reaffirming the important place of the Bible in society to

Christians and non-Christians. Nowhere does the Bible endorse homosexuality. On the contrary, the Bible explicitly states that homosexuality is a sin and against God’s plan for humankind. If you choose not to accept that, feel free—it is your God-given right. However, you shouldn’t slice and dice the Bible to fit your view, or disrespect the right of Christians to practice their beliefs. Such misrepresentation of the Bible has an unimpressive history, as the Bible has been used as the basis for genocide and countless other evils. One of the more ironic arguments among supporters of homosexuality is that Bible-believing Christians are attempting to “discriminate in the name of God,” hearkening back to arguments used to condone these evils. The Bible has been used as a tool of oppression when people could not or did not seek to understand the written Word. Conjuring up a nonexistent biblical acceptance of homosexuality only feeds the ignorance that breeds oppression. Sexuality must be not be confused with race and gender as a

A Trip to Mega-Merger Land As it were... Richard Rubin My sophomore year roommate and I were never huge fans of big business. He’s a computer geek with an anarchic streak and I’m a newspaper geek who’s spent the last four years working for free for a non-profit company. We’re aligned in our distaste for the world of briefcases and cufflinks and the vast globalized corporate environment that constricts the automatons who toil within it. Neither of us ever aspired to be a consultant or an investment banker. He just wants to program. I just want to write. But as we move out of the Duke bubble, Rob and I have found ourselves trapped in the money-obsessed universe outside the University. Although we’ve both taken relatively fun jobs, within months we’ll both become tiny cogs in giant, faceless bureaucracies, complete with proactivity, planning documents and Powerpoint presentations Worst of all, we’re pitted against each other in one of the heated wars in that terrible territory of tremendous transactions: Giant Corporate Mega-Merger Land. You see, Rob is going to work for America Online, which now owns Time Warner and is thus affiliated with anything Time, Warner or Turner. And I’ve taken an internship at Newsweek, which is owned by the Washington Post Co. and affiliated with MSNBC (itself a conglomerate ofNBC and—shudder—Microsoft.)

So now Rob and I will be battling on two levels: the old-media conflict between Time and Newsweek and the 21st century AOL-Microsoft fight for dominance. At one time, it seemed that our career paths would diverge quite sharply, with Rob going off into the world of technobabble and me heading into the fast-paced newsroom environment. But all of a sudden, with companies combining and aligning in new ways seemingly every day, the media and computer industries have become one, creating new rivalries along the way. Rob and I have been unwittingly pulled into this rapidly changing world, forced to compete with each other. Admittedly, we won’t be anywhere near the boardrooms where the competition is the most heated, but it might even be worse this way. We’ll be pawns in the war, churning out work daily for our companies’ broader goals. Now I don’t quite know how to behave. Although I’m sure the Newsweek newsroom is just as friendly—if not as messy—as The Chronicle’s, I’ve still never been in such a professional/corporate environment before, and I don’t know how far the mega-merger rivalry should extend into my personal psychology and actions. Am I supposed to implicitly dislike Rob now? Am I supposed to determine my personal allegiances based on my corporate ties? How should us NewsweekWashington Post-MSNBC people treat AOL-TimeWamer-Tumer people, let alone CBS-Viacom people or ABC-Disney-ESPN people? If had to venture a guess, it would be that all these acronymic hyphenated entities just want us to shut up and do our work.

The Chronicle WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 2000

� Frood named national player of the week Senior attackman Jared Frood was named Warrior/lnside Lacrosse Mens Division I Player of the Week after leading the fifth-ranked Blue Devils to a pair of victories over ranked teams last week. Frood tallied 15 points on nine goals and six assists in two games. He led all scorers with seven points off four goals and three assists in a 14-8 win over No. 3 Harvard following an eight-point performance in a 13-11 win over No. 19Maryland-Baltimore County.

� Player of the week uses the Schwartz Jillian Schwartz was named the ACC Women’s Track and Field performer of the week Monday by the ACC. Schwartz bested her own conference record in the pole vault this past weekend at the William & Mary Colonial Relays. The Blue Devil junior broke her own ACC and school record in the pole vault with a height of 12-foot-8, bettering the previous mark of 12-31/2 which she set the weekend before the Alabama Relays. Her height was good enough to top the NCAA provisional standard.

� NCAA tournament ratings slip again The national rating for Monday night’s NCAA tournament championship game was 14.1, the worst since CBS began airing the event in 1982, D.J. Scott announced yesterday. It represents a drop of 18 percent from last year's title-game rating of 17.2, the previous low. The tournament as a whole finished with an average rating of 6.4, down 6 percent from 1999’s 6.8, also the previous low mark.

Baseball Aggie-ravates A&T with comeback win By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

5 For much of yesterday’s baseball game, it seemed as A&T 4 though the North Carolina A&T Aggies were going to rain on the Blue Devils’ parade. Of course, this wasn’t the only rain that

dropped on historic Jack Coombs Field, as the ballgame was delayed one hour due to a heavy downpour that started a few minutes before the scheduled start time. However, the rain—both literally and figuratively speaking—stopped just in time for the Blue Devils to come away with a hard-

fought 5-4 victory. The win not only ended Duke’s (12-24, 27 in the ACC) three-game losing skid, but it also marked a season sweep for the Blue Devils against their cross-state rivals. The victory, though, did not come as easy as Duke’s earlier 10-4 drubbing of A&T (1021) March 22. In fact, the Blue Devils did not take the lead until the seventh inning, when second

basemen J.D. Alieva hit a sacrifice fly, which allowed designated hitter David Mason to cross home plate, giving Duke its VICTOR ZHAO/THE CHRONICLE final margin of victory.

extend the Aggies’ lead to 4-0 in the top half of the third inning, the Blue Devils came storming back in the bottom half of the inning, narrowing the deficit to 41 when leftfielder Scott Grossi doubled home shortstop Kevin Kelly Two batters later, Aggie pitcher Shelton Moore threw a wild pitch past his catcher, Justin Hall, allowing Grossi to score. The Blue Devils struck again in the fourth inning, as third basemen Jeff Becker, who had been walked earlier in the inning, scored on a sacrifice groundout by centerfielder Wes Goodner that allowed Duke to come within one run of the Aggies. And two innings later, Goodner once again wreaked havoc on A&T, hitting a double to the centerfield wall that put him in scoring position with no outs. The next batter, first basemen Larry Broadway, who went 3-for-4 on the day, hit an RBI single to drive in Goodner, tying the game at 4-4. Duke pitcher Kevin Thompson, who replaced starter Steve Schroeder in the sixth inning, did much of the work from there, yielding no runs while scattering only one hit in two-and-twothirds innings. “Coach Hillier and I have been working real hard on keeping the ball down,” Thompson said. Tve been throwing really well the last few weeks and I came out today and kept doing well, so I’ve just made improvements by working hard.” The only disappointment for Thompson was that he was not allowed to finish the game, as Hillier replaced the freshman with junior right-hander Ryan Caradonna to make the final two outs of the contest. Still, Hillier felt that Thompson’s performance against the Aggies was his best of the season and he was happy that both relief pitchers were able to gain valuable late-game experience in the win.

'“I think it helped Kevin Thompson’s confidence a lot and I think its good for Ryan Caradonna to pitch in a situation like that,” Hillier said. “The thing about late-inning games is that we need experience in those types of games, because we haven’t many situations like that However, the Blue Devils could face a similar situation this Friday, when an inconsistent Virginia team visits historic Jack Coombs Field for a threegame weekend series. The Cavaliers come to town after losing to Richmond yesterday, but after winning their series last weekend against top-ranked Florida State. Needless to say, Duke is unsure which Virginia to expect Friday. “We’re going to have to play well. I know Virginia hits real well and pitches it real well,” Hillier said. “We need to be able to hit the ball to get into their bullpen. I think that if we can come out and play well then we can beat Virginia.” ”

season the same way he ended last year—with pure dominance. Martinez struck out 11 and held Seattle to only two hits in seven sharp innings last night, pitching the Boston Red Sox past the Mariners 2-0 in a season opener.

Playing their first season without Ken Griffey Jr. since 1989, the Mariners could not touch Martinez, the unanimous AL Cy Young winner last season after going 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA and 313 strikeouts. Martinez finished last year with 17 shutout innings in the postseason. He did not come close to allowing a run against Seattle—he has given up only one earned run in his last 42 innings. A Safeco Stadium record crowd of 45,552 saw Martinez (1-0) give up a bloop single by Carlos Guillen in the third inning and a ground single by John Olerud in the fourth.

with two outs in the first and sixth. The Mariners, who traded Griffey to Cincinnati in February, did not have any other runners against Martinez. Mike Cameron, one of the players acquired for Griffey, was 0-for-4 and struck out three times. Derek Lowe relieved to start the eighth and completed the combined two-hitter. Before the game, he agreed to a four-year contract worth about $lO million. Jamie Moyer (0-1) was even with

Martinez until the sixth when the Red Sox scored their first run on Troy O’Leary’s infield single. John Valentin and newcomer Carl Everett singled and Mike Stanley walked to load the bases. O’Leary hit a slow roller and barely beat second baseman David Bell’s throw. In the seventh, the Red Sox drove Moyer from the game when Jason Varitek walked, Darren Lewis sacrificed and Jose Offerman hit an RBI double.

The most wonderful day of the year

•

Upon further review .

Spring is finally here, and with it, comes the most wonderful time of year for sports fans. Monday afternoon, baseball season returned. The start of the new season is always something magical, as fans nationwide skip work and skip school to see their heroes take the field. Contract squabbles don’t matter on Opening Day. On Opening Day, hope truly springs eternal and every fan can honestly say, “This is the year,” and really mean it for at least another week. No other sport can tug on a sports fan’s heart strings quite like the American Pastime. Still, we think A. Bartlett Giamatti described the game best: “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring when everything else begins again and it blossoms in summer, filling the afternoons and evenings and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it. Rely on it to buffer the passage oftime, to keep the memory ofsunshine and high skies alive and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.” Without further ado, The Chronicle presents our list ofreasons we’re glad to see opening day finally arrive. Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Jeff Bagwell, Ken Griffey Jr. AND Randy Knorr all in the same division —enough said. More milestones for Cal Ripken Jr.: Barring injury, the Orioles’ iron man will collect hit No. 3,000 before the end of the month.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL S, 2QQQ

Duke must seize depth advantage over top-heavy Deacons STREAK from page 15 If there ever was a team to beat Duke, the Demon Deacons are it. The closest calls Duke has had in losing its streak were two 5-4 matches against Wake in 1995.

And the fact that the last ACC team to beat the Blue Devils was none other than Wake Forest in March 1989 just might give them cause to worry, despite a growing Duke team, which has gained confidence after winning its last eight matches. The Blue Devils have swept their first three ACC matches, after a challenging non-conference lineup early in the season. Wake Forest brings its own undefeated ACC record, as it sits on a 10-match winning streak. In fact, its only loss this season came to No. 6 California, a team that beat Duke in February. The last time these two met was in the final round of last year’s ACC Championships—Duke handily defeated Wake 5-1. “They have not been able to prove themselves against us,” Ashworth said. “If we play smart tennis and we play disciplined tennis, we’ll be fine.” The difference this time around will be the two new faces in the Demon Deacon lineup, a twosome that, courtesy of former top-seed Mariel Verban’s broken foot, now man the top two slots. Engel, who played professionally before coming to Wake Forest, will be facing off against Miller this time around. “She’s a very solid player all around,” said Sell of Engel. “She’s got excellent ground strokes, she places the ball very well. She’s very aggressive. One of her strengths is her composure on the

court. She’s never shown any signs of frustration or defeat. She’s very cool the whole time.”

Further down the lineup, Wake’s deep talent could put the Blue Devils, who send out freshmen at No. 4,5 and 6, in trouble. Yet at those positions, Katie Granson has won seven of her last nine matches, Hillary Adams has won five in a row and Prim Siripipat has taken her last eight. The strength of the bottom half of the lineup is what sealed Duke’s close 5-4 win over Baylor last week. Ashworth noted that the key to taking away Wake’s strength was doing damage against its top players. “The top of their lineup is their strength,” he said. “I would think that our top three would be able to play them. We need to be able to put pressure on them high. If you take away what they’ve been doing well all year, then some doubt creeps in their minds.” In doubles, the Demon Deacons boast the No. 22 duo of Bielik and Engel. But Duke has the experienced team of sophomore Erica Biro and senior Brooke Siebel, ranked 16th nationally, to anchor it, with 51st-ranked Miller and Adams to back them up. “We’ve struggled with doubles in the past,” Fleishman said. “I think we continue to struggle'with it. I think if it comes down to doubles tomorrow, which I’m expecting it to, it’s going to be close.” With Duke’s 9-1 home record not to be overlooked, Ashworth said that playing at home could be a factor in pulling ahead of the Demon Deacons. “I hope it turns into a big advantage,” he said. “We have two of the top teams in the country. I hope we can get

Miller went undefeated in the ACC last year, but will be tested by Wake’s Engel. the crowd support that we need to maybe rattle Wake Forest some and help push our girls through in some of those close matches.” In the end, however,it might not come

down to depth or backhands or doubles, According to Fleishman, it may just come down to gritty determination, “Whoever wants it more is going to win the match tomorrow,” he said.
