Parking shake-up begins this week By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle
Now that the Ocean parking lot has been eliminated, many students and employees say they must park their cars an ocean away from the rest ofcampus. After this summer’s start of the West-Edens Link construction, parking officials were left to scavenge for parking near

West Campus for employees, faculty members and on- and offcampus students. Four months, dozens of complaints and $598,000 later, parking regulators are awaiting a verdict on their new system. ‘This is supposed to be a long-range, strategic improvement,” said Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni. “We’re moving toward better parking arrangement; we’re moving parking to gated-type lots.” To replace the Ocean, officials created an undergraduate park-
ing area consisting of seven former RT-zone parking lots along Wannamaker Drive between Towerview and Duke University roads. With 1,400 spaces, this new area designed for on-campus undergraduates, called the Blue Zone, is expected to exceed demand, which last year reached a peak of 1,356 decals. Spaces cost $l6O for the year. Although on-campus students will park in the Blue Zone during the week, they will be fined $lOO unless they move their cars the day before home football games to make room for ticket-holding Iron Dukes and other fans. Administrators will provide shuttle service to satellite parking sites in the H lot on

City-county Bryan Ctr. undergoes first costly facelift merger plan fails in Aug. By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle
By SARAH McGILL The Chronicle
In Durham, history doesn’t wait long to repeat itself. Once again, the idea to merge Durham’s city and county governments has steadily built support, gained momentum—and died with little fanfare. Both the Durham City Council and the County Board of Commissioners—backed by a coalition of rural residents, black activists, the Democratic party and the county sheriff—voted in early August to kill a measure that would put the question ofmerger onto November ballots. “I think people had to make up their minds to go for it like it is or not go for it at all,” said council member Thomas Stith. Stith initially supported the merger but voted against including the proposal, designed by a 40-citizen committee, on the ballot. “There was no room for compromise.” According to the N.C. Office of State Planning, about 77 percent of Durham County residents live in the city of Durham, the county’s only municipality. And the push to See CITY-COUNTY MERGER on page 12
Students flocking to the Bryan Center to buy books for classes may have been surprised to notice a change in their information source. This summer, as a part of a continuing plan to renovate the Bryan Center, University officials came closer to the goal of adding life to the center’s upper level with the addition of a new ticket and information booth. The new complex, located near Reynolds Auditorium on the third floor of the center, was completed approximately two weeks ago at a cost of $200,000, said Janet Bailey, the project’s manager. “The visibility of the new information desk and ticket box office help make the Bryan Center more welcoming to visitors and help to bring life to an area of the Bryan Center that was once a bit bare,” said Duke University Union President Pam Wells, who presides over the Union board, which has ultimate purview over the center. Officials merged the Page Box Office and the information desk, which was formerly located near the main entrance of the Bryan Center. The Graduate and Professional Student Council moved from its bottom-level office space to the top level, filling the vacancy that the departure of the information booth created. The former GPSC office will be used as a classroom for the Crafts Center. The changes throughout the Bryan Center are a part of a larger University effort to revitalize the center’s top floor. A number of follow-up ideas have been suggested, but the boldest and most probable remains a plan to add a floor to the top of the center. In this plan, the Bryan Center student offices would be relocated to the newly constructed top floor, freeing up space behind the old information desk for a student social area. The walls of the current offices would be tom down and replaced with glass to open up the center’s cavernous walls. In addition, officials are also considering moving See

Congress agrees on minimum wage
Speaker Hastert conceded a $1 raise in exchange for $76 billion in tax cuts By ERIC SCHMITT and LOUIS UCHITELLE N.Y. Times News Service
WASHINGTON
Speaker
Dennis Hastert offered key concessions Monday to Democrats on a plan to raise the federal minimum wage, moving to end months of stalemate on a popular bill that Republicans feared could damage them at the polls. The House and Senate earlier this year approved an increase in the minimum wage by $l, to $6.15 an hour, with the increase coming in 50-cent increments over two years in the House version and smaller annual amounts over three
years in the Senate bill. The conflicting bills then stalled in the conference committee that was supposed to reconcile them, raising fears among some Republicans that they were handing Democrats a po-
tent campaign.issue
In a letter Monday, Hastert sought to take that threat off the table. He proposed that the committee would agree to the Democrats’ demands to spread the $1 increase over two years but continued to insist that the compromise measure must include $76 billion in tax cuts for small business over 10 years to help these companies pay “the costs of this wage increase.”
In another concession, Hastert proposed dropping pension provisions and a repeal of the estate tax attached to the bill by House Republicans. However, both of these provisions, which Democrats had criticized as giveaways to wealthy
Americans, have moved through the Congress on separate tracks and now must be dealt with on their own. “It is very clear that a vast majority of congressional Democrats and Republicans would like to see a balanced approach before we ad-
journ,” said Hastert. Hastert’s proposal makes the See

Boy Scouts suffer since excluding gays By KATE ZERNIKE
N.Y. Times News Service
In the two months since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scouts of America have a constitutional right to exclude gays, corporate and governmental support for the organization has slipped markedly. Chicago, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif, have told local Scout troops they can no longer use parks, schools and other municipal sites. Companies like Chase Manhattan Bank and Textron Inc. have withdrawn hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of local and national scouting groups nationwide. Dozens of United Ways from Massachusetts to San Francisco have cut off money.
And one state, Connecticut, in what may prove to be a test case, has banned contributions to the Scouts by state employees through a state-run charity. In addition, the state is considering whether to block the Scouts from using public campgrounds or buildings. “It’s a watershed issue,” said Joan Parker, assistant counsel to the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, which must issue a ruling by Nov. 8 on whether the Scouts violate state anti-discrimination laws. If the commission rules that the group does violate those laws, the Boy Scouts would be prevented from using any public facilities. “We have to decide, are we aiding and abetting See BOY SCOUTS on page 10 �

funds paper s on East Daily Dialogue President New program promotes college readership of maj and national debuts on Web or regional

By KELLY WOO The Chronicle
The weekly newspaper published by the Duke News Service will now be able to post updates and stories each day on its
new website. By KELLY WOO The Chronicle You no longer have to wait until Friday to read the Dialogue, Since Aug. 24, the Duke News Service’s newspaper has been available with new stories every day online at www.dukenews.duke.edu/ Daily.html. “There’s always been a need to have a better vehicle to reach the University community than what we now have,” said A1 Rossiter, director of Duke News Service. “With the availability of web technology, this seemed natural." The Daily Dialogue will now post up-to-date information throughout the day. For example, if a hurricane or a snowstorm hits, Duke community members can check the website to see if classes or work are canceled. “If there is a fire on campus, for example, we would have a blurb in there, maybe even a picture,” Rossiter said. “Any kind of breaking news like that would be there The website will also feature stories from the weekly print Dialogue, as well as official University press releases. It will link to the already existing community ”

This year, the University funded a $30,000 program that distributes free copies of The Durham HeraldSun, The New York Times and the News & Observer of Raleigh to all East Campus dormitories. The Chronicle will be available in the new racks as well. “It has both intellectual, academic components as well as community outreach components,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. University officials hope that faculty members will integrate the latest news into their classes—using the newspapers to facilitate discussions on the presidential campaign or international relations, for example. “I think it’s cool that it lets us be connected to the outside world, instead of being trapped in the Duke bubble,” said freshman Eric Dixon, who had picked up a copy of The New York Times. Several other freshmen said they had taken a copy of The New York Times, but not the other two papers, with which they were not familiar. Both University officials and newspaper representatives hope this program will change that, encouraging younger readers to get to know local newspapers and local news. “The main reason that the N&O is interested in doing it is to help build a better relationship between young people, college age people... and newspapers in general, ours in

U.S.: Russian submarine might have misfired torpEdo The Pentagon has released sonar tapes from the Memphis, an American submarine that was in the area of the Kursk s sinking By CHRISTOPHER DREW and STEVEN MYERS N.Y. Times News Service
WASHINGTON Six days after something went dreadfully wrong with the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk, another submarine quietly pulled into a Norwegian port, carrying some of the most detailed evidence so far as to why the pride of Russia’s Navy sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea. The other submarine was the Memphis, a nuclearpowered attack submarine based in Groton, Conn., and one of two American submarines spying on the largest Russian naval exercise in years when disaster struck the Kursk on the morning of Aug. 12. By the time the Memphis reached Bergen, Norway, officials in Russia had said that the Kursk probably had sunk after colliding with either a foreign submarine or a World War II mine. Publicly, the Pentagon still refuses to comment on the whereabouts or the mission of the Memphis. But American military and intelligence officials now privately acknowledge its spying mission. Military officials insist that the Memphis was not damaged and that no other submarine was involved in any collision. The Memphis’ arrival in Norway was a long-scheduled liberty call, they said.

SOC 198, Social & Philosophical Issues in Management (6419) MW, 3:55-5:10 pm Instructor, Gary Hull Nearly everyone believes that philosophy has nothing to do with business or with management. But is that true? Many students use Napster to download music for free. But what about the rights of the artists and the record companies? That’s a philosophic issue. Most people believe that making money is practical but not moral. Why do they believe that, and is it true? That, too, is a philosophic issue. Is there such a thing as a “right to work,” to be paid a “fair wage,” to maternity leave? Is a corporation’s primary responsibility to increase the value of its stock or does it have an obligation to “serve the community”? Should companies be subject to environmental and affirmative action regulations? Is it fair for the government to prosecute Microsoft for antitrust violations? Are “big oil and “big pharmaceutical” companies villains, as the left claims? Or are they unjustly attacked? The purpose of this course is to show you that your answers to these questions, and many others, are determined by your philosophy.
SOC 148, Demography for Business & Public Policy (6416) MW, 2:20-3:35 pm Instructor: Assistant Professor, M.E. Hughes
Businesses and governments face critical decisions every day. Should a grocery store chain open additional stores in the Triangle? If so, where should these stores be located? Should a county government invest in additional schools to anticipate growth in the number of school-age children? Competition and scarce resources mean that the consequences of poor decisions are potentially high. As a result, the decision-making process has become increasingly data based. Success thus depends on a sophisticated understanding of social and demographic research. This course focuses on research strategies for business and policy. The overall goal is to teach students a set of skills that can be used to inform business or policy decisions. The will emphasis will be on the logic of research methods, so although basic statistics be useful it is not required.
moderators who would be too aggressive. The moderator in 1996—Jim Lehrer of PBS—was hardly known as
combative. Bush “feels this should be more of a discussion and less trying to be a gotcha format,” one Bush campaign of-
ficial said.
Ed Gillespie, a Republican consultant and an adviser to the Bush campaign, said of the questioners at debates; “Everyone tries to be the one that trips up a candidate. That’s the mindset that’s by and large at play.” Some Bush campaign officials said they also objected to the proposed site of the first debate because of its proximity to the John F. Kennedy Library
in Boston. The actual site is the University of Massachusetts, which sits on Co-
lumbia Point, a property shared with the Kennedy library. The library is a
partner with the commission in providing educational programs tied to the debate. Bush officials complained that holding a debate near the library of a Democratic president was unfair. “At face value,” said one Bush official, “it seems difficult to argue that it’s neutral territory.” The Boston debate is scheduled for Oct. 3. The commission has also set a debate at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Oct. 11 and one at Washington University in St. Louis on Oct. 17.

Officials consider adding new level to Bryan Center � BRYAN CENTER from page 1 the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture up to the new level, Wells said. The construction, which could cost between $3 million and $ll million, could build onto any or all of the roofs three flat areas. “We’re hoping by moving those offices we can create more student space. If we did the whole move, it would produce more space for everyone,” said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. “We’re trying to get some life onto that top level.” The task ofcompletely designing and building an additional floor would take 12-18 months, and although officials hope to have a consensus on plans for the building by the end of the academic year, one big issue will probably
linger—cash. “We’re making progress, but it’s moving slowly. The problem is right now we don’t have the money for it,” said Trask. “We hope to get it this year... and be ready to move by the end of summer.” Trask said he hopes to present student leaders with his ideas in the coming months.
Student leaders, who said they have
already seen preliminary plans for the building, said they would seek student input this fall on the matter. Duke Student Government President Jordan Bazinsky and Wells, for example, are planning to create a website to survey students on their thoughts about the center’s future. Although the website will probably be used primarily by undergraduates. Wells said, “We are going to make a concerted effort to include everyone.” Even if these plans ultimately dc not come to fruition, leaders said they hope to be able to provide alternatives for administrators once they have input—regardless of the ideas, mosl agree the time for the center to change is here. Much of this plan could be pushing the center through an evolution: from university center, as its name implies, t( a student center. “The main thing is that students don’t think of the Bryan Center as student center...,” Wells said. “We’d lik( for the Bryan Center to become a student center.” £

Russians insist that collision initially damaged Kursk SINKING from page 6 The call allowed the submarine to unload sonar tapes and other recordings that the Americans say captured two explosions that ravaged and sank the Kursk, killing all 118 people on board. Those tapes, being analyzed at the National Maritime Intelligence Center in Suitland, Md., contain the P
strongest evidence to support the leading American theory of what destroyed the Kursk. And that theory, officials said, does not include the collision that the Russians have said probably occurred. “We have subs that hear everything that goes on,” one senior officer said. “It’s pretty clear to us what happened.”
According to the American theory, a rocket-propelled torpedo being loaded or launched as part of an exercise misfired, causing its engine or fuel to explode. After 2 minutes and 15 seconds—during which time the Kursk’s captain either increased power from the nuclear reactor or blew ballast in an effort to surface—a powerful explosion of the torpedo’s warhead tore a gaping hole in the submarine’s bow, killing most if not all of the crew instantly. In Vladivostok, Russia, a former submarine officer who is a member of a governmental commission investigating the explosion said Monday that a new weapons system was being tested on the Kursk. But the former officer, Sergei Zhekov, would not elaborate during a news conference about the system, saying that it was a state secret, the Interfax news agency reported. When the Kursk sank, the United States knew about it within hours. The Americans collected telltale recordings from submarines, a surface ship and even from shore. They detected no sounds of a collision. And they monitored the Russian fleet’s emergency radio transmissions closely in the aftermath. In addition to two submarines, the Navy had also sent a surface ship, the Loyal, to the Barents. The Loyal is part of a class of surveillance ships that are operated by civilian contractors, but include as many
until early Aug. 14, which was a Monday, a day after they realized something went wrong and nearly two days after the event happened. Even then they said that the accident had happened Sunday, rather than
Saturday. The Russians do not deny that a major explosion hit the Kursk. But they have insisted that the submarine was first involved in a collision with some huge object, possibly a submarine or a World War II mine. American officials and submarine experts said it was possible that some of the crew—perhaps 15 men or more—survived the initial explosions if they managed quickly to shut the watertight doors to their compartments. The Russians said that they had detected tapping sounds from within the Kursk at least two days after
it sank, raising hopes that a rescue of some crewmen might be possible. Some American officials said that neither the Loyal nor the American submarines detected the sounds, though they might not have been able to do so if they were too far away. While the Americans had a fair guess of what happened to the Kursk early on, it was only after the Memphis unloaded its sonar tapes Aug. 18 that officials began to offer the theory of the misfiring of the torpedo missile. While the submarine’s sonar equipment allowed the crew to distinguish the explosions, a closer analysis of the recordings had to wait until the tapes
reached shore.
But how much the Pentagon will be prepared to say in public remains in question.

as 15 Navy seamen and officers. According to the Navy, ships like the Loyal have only a single mission: “to gather underwater acoustical data” in support of “the anti-submarine warfare mission” of fleet commanders. Within hours of the explosions, the two American submarines radioed messages back to fleet headquarters. ‘They were alive and well and had no bumps,” another senior officer said. “Not a tea cup was rattled,” the senior military officer said.
According to the American officials, neither the two submarines nor the Loyal detected any sounds that would suggest the Kursk had been involved in a collision of any sort. Even at great distances, the signals created by a collision or an explosion are easy to distinguish, the of-
ficials said. Ever since the Kursk sank, Russian accounts of what happened have been imprecise and sometimes
contradictory. Officials in Russia did not report the accident
The History Department welcomes newly appointed Assistant Professor FELICIA KORNBLUH, who will teach Women's History at Duke. Felicia Kornbluh is a twentieth-century historian whose interests include welfare, law, feminism, and the history of sexuality. She also focuses on public policy from a gendered perspective. Before coming to Duke, Dr. Kornbluh served on the staff of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, and on the staff of several research, law, and policy centers. She is also a free-lance writer and policy analyst. Professor Kornbluh will teach two fall courses.
HISTORY 103-05
Women and Gender in the United States Since 1890-Present This survey course will center upon relationships among men, women, and the state since 1890.

Clinton, Democrats express optimism about wage rise �
CONGRESS from page 2 minimum wage, in effect, the opening issue among Democrats and Republicans in Congress when they return next week from their late summer recess. White House officials expressed cautious optimism that the Republican-controlled Congress and President Bill Clinton’s administration could strike a deal in the next month to raise the minimum wage for the first time since 1996. Officials signaled that the Republican insistence on the small business tax cuts would not be a deal breaker. “If at long last the Republicans are serious about dropping many of their roadblocks to a $1 increase over two years, then that’s good news,” Gene Sperling, head of the White House’s National Economic Council, said in an interview. “There still remain some obstacles, but the president stands ready to
work in good faith with Congress to get a bill he can sign.” Hastert’s letter reflects his desire to position House Republicans for the legislative endgame with Clinton, and to turn a political liability into a virtue in time for the fall elections. The initiative for the minimum wage offer came from Hastert and reflects how House Republicans feel more politically vulnerable on the issue than their Senate counterparts. Hastert said that Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott shared his views, but only the speaker
In another sign that Hastert is seeking to secure his legislative gains for the bruising fall elections, the speaker is also paring back on the tax-cut proposals that he will press for, cuts for married couples and retirement savings. Hasterfs offer comes just a few days after Gov. George W. Bush of Texas, the Republican nominee for president, found himself defending his proposed tax cut, and admitting that he needed to do a better job of promoting it. Congressional Democrats greeted
Hastert’s offer cautiously, and seemed tempted to milk even more political A spokesperson for Lott, John mileage out of his political predicament. ‘The proposal that the speaker made Czwartacki, said he had not seen Hastert’s letter but added, “Senator was in the right direction,” said Rep.

over-two-years bill. “It raises the question of whether 50 cents a year is enough or whether we want to do 50 cents a year over three years. “They are high on the tax relief side and low on the benefit to minimum-wage workers,” Bonior added, “but it is my view that we can work this out and we can get a bill by sometime next month.” Bonior noted that the current minimum wage, $5.15 an hour, has lost purchasing power in the more than two years since since he and Kennedy first asked Congress for the additional $1 increase. The $5.15 would have to rise by 24 cents to restore its 1998 purchasing power, according to an estimate furnished by Jared Bernstein, a labor economist at the Economic Policy Institute. The minimum wage reached its greatest purchasing power in 1968 when it was worth the equivalent of $7.49 in 1999 dollars.
Despite losing funding, Boy Scouts defend gay rights stance BOY SCOUTS from page 2 someone that discriminates?” Parker said. “Clearly, any public entity needs to have clean hands.” Gregg Shields, a spokesperson for the Scouts, said the organization respected the right of private companies to donate only to groups of their choice. But the organization is suing the state of Connecticut to restore state employees’ ability to donate to the Scouts, and Shields said his group would fight to maintain access to public schools and public places in other states as well. ‘The Boy Scouts of America since 1910 have taught traditional family values,” Shields said. “We feel that an avowed homosexual isn’t a role model for those values.”
For public and private officials around the country, the problem is a complex and painful one. On the one hand, they do not want to cut off valuable opportunities for the young or run afoul of First Amendment principles. On the otherhand, by allowing a group that bans gays to use public facilities, and by supporting it, they violate their antidiscrimination statutes. The trim uniform of the Boy Scouts has become almost a cherished national symbol. But at a time when same-sex benefits, diversity training and nondiscrimination policies have become routine, some companies and organizations say the Scouts’ refusal to admit gays has come to seem almost un-American. ‘Their position is, on the face of it, in conflict with

The Supreme Court ruled in June by a 5-4 vote that the organization had a constitutional right to exclude gays because opposition to homosexuality is part ofthe organization’s “expressive message The decision overturned a ruling last year by the New Jersey Supreme Court that applied the state’s law against discrimination in public accommodations to require troop to readmit a longtime member and assistant scoutmaster whom it had dismissed after learning he is gay. ”

Duke, The Chronicle debate paper’s role
� NEWSPAPERS from page 3 percent of students said their instructors referred to news articles as part of class discussion and 20 percent said they were required to read a newspaper for class. But the initiative also has had its share of controversy. Officials from the Daily Collegian, Penn State’s independent student newspaper, say the program hurts stu-
dent journalism Though the Daily Collegian’s readership numbers remain high, said news adviser John Harvey, students now must compete with professional journalists and businessmen to keep it that way. “I don’t think our contention is that it will affect our readership today, but that down the road in the future it will be a threat to student journalism,” Harvey said. “We think this is a threat to student journalism everywhere. To me, it’s a newspaper war.” Officials from The Chronicle said they do not consid-
er the program to be a threat, but did raise issue with how the actual deal was made. “We support any effort to increase readership of any newspaper,” said editor Greg Pessin, a senior. “Our main concern is that two national newspaper conglomerates are being paid by the University to distribute their newspapers,” he said, yet The Chronicle, a not-for-profit independent community newspaper, is “incurring significant expense to take part in this program.” General Manager Jonathan Angier estimated that the program will cost The Chronicle about $lO,OOO. Furthermore, Pessin said, the University did not communicate “in good faith” with an organization it has worked with for 95 years. “Even just notifying us of the change before it happened would have been helpful,” he said. “It seems like the process at Duke was not in partnership with the community newspaper.” Bumess shrugged off those concerns. He said that an

independent student newspaper like The Chronicle can-
not‘liave it both ways”—be independent from and retain
a certain privilege at the University. “It’s a dog-eat-dog world,” Bumess added. “It’s difficult for me to understand a criticism of providing free newspapers... as part of their educational experience.” The newspapers participating in the program do stand to gain better circulation numbers, but Lawrence
said the difference will be negligible. Whatever the financial benefits, he said that the opportunity to ensure
print media’s continued existence by recruiting younger
readers is most important. “A lot ofDuke students do stay in the area, so we hope that they will continue to read the N&O, but even if they don’t, we hope they read a newspaper wherever they go,” Lawrence said. “From our point of view, it’s a win-win situation. It’s good for the newspaper, it’s good for the students, it’s good for Duke.”

tion, to professionalized leadership, to a mix of the two—is one that has taken
place nationwide. “I think [faculty involvementl is more important than ever,” said Gwen Dungy, executive director of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. “Originally as it evolved, student affairs said, "You concentrate on the classroom and we’ll take care of outside the classroom.’ Now, the emphasis is on
collaboration.”
Since several major universities developed graduate programs in student affairs administration, some university presidents have started to counteract
know that there is a general sense that we need to continue to strengthen the ties between student affairs and the academic side of the house.” Some academic administrators have attempted to begin bridging this gap already, with Trinity College Dean Robert Thompson responding to campus drinking by organizing a series of classes on alcohol, its history and its effects on the body. But as these types of classes have formed, other faculty programs, like the faculty in residence and faculty associates, have faltered. Provost Peter Lange believes that the faculty need to play a role in all of these areas, and that room
the professionalization, assigning inexperienced but interested faculty members to head their student affairs de-
partments and infuse extracurricular life with intellectualism. But Dungy said these administrators usually find themselves lost in the sophisticated field, and President Nan Keohane and several committee members say Duke’s new vice president for student affairs should have student affairs experience. “I don’t know that the faculty will be more directly represented on the Student Affairs staff under a new VP. That really depends on how he or she decides to organize the office,” Keohane said. “But I do
should be made in Student Affairs for their contribution. “The link and interactions between the daily life of the student in the classroom and directly academically-related activities and other aspects of their lives is very important to their intellectual and personal development,” he said. “Furthermore, faculty represent intellectual and personal models of roles that students can play as they mature. Finally, students are a critical part of what makes a university attractive to its faculty and thus faculty have an abiding interest—or should have—in the quality of student life and the students’ experiences.”
Merger proposal may reappear, as it has four times before � CITY-COUNTY MERGER from page 1 combine the two governments—with potential benefits
ofstreamlining bureaucracy and eliminating duplicate
services—isn’t new. It has reached the ballot box three times already, and in 1994, when task force'constructed a merger proposal, it went no further. “The general public won’t get engaged in a debate until it’s a matter that is coming to them for decision,” said Durham city mayor Nick Tennyson, who was one offour city council members to support the merger. “In order for us to move beyond our current state, which is a small group of people determined to keep proposals for change bottled up... we needed to get a proposal for the public to analyze.” But the current proposal had two fatal flaws, said Ellen Reckhow, co-chairman of the board. The first matter of contention was that the proposal conflicted with the North Carolina statute governing mergers. Thus, the North Carolina General Assembly
would have had to pass an amendment to state law allowing the consolidation. In addition, the General Assembly would have to pass the specific merger proposal, regardless of its adherence to the state’s framework. “It was a convenient excuse,” said council member Erick Larson, also a data processing specialist at the University. “This was something that the voters needed to decide if they approved it or not.” The second fatal flaw, Reckhow said, was that the proposal would have extended city limits to the county line, a move that threatened rural residents and would require the city to pay for roads and construction outside city limits—construction previously funded by the state. “It felt like a city takeover,” said Reckhow. ‘This was just about the worst proposal as related to rural residents and their perception of merger.” The proposal stepped on other toes as well. ‘The specific [anti-mergerl coalition is exactly the same as it has been in every city across the country—rural, non-city residents oppose mergers because of the
possibility of increased taxes; city political forces oppose the change in the electoral dynamics they see,” Tennyson said. “And on top of that, we have a popular sheriffthat was adamantly opposed to any dilution of his authority.” That sheriff, Worth Hill, was a powerful ally to those opposing the proposal. “I agree that if we do [merger], we do it right,” he said. “Really, the people who wanted merger wanted merger so bad that they were compromising a whole bunch of things we couldn’t live with.” Hill said the proposal’s requirement that city police officials and the sheriff’s department meet and merge within the next four years was unacceptable. “The Sheriff should be in charge ofall law enforcement because the sheriff is elected by the people,” he said. “I’m not going to sit down with an appointed official and put together a budget.” All agreed that Durham has most likely not seen the end of merger debate. “I hope it’ll come up again,” said Reckhow. “But I think we need a time-out period for right now.”

Graduate students worry about parking safety
PARKING from page 1 plan. It’s very inconvenient. Every home game will be a big hassle,” said junior Karen Shin. “It takes a lot of time to take the bus back and forth.” Other students agreed. But Pietrantoni said his office has received few complaints. ‘The whole intent behind the Blue Zone was two-fold. First, there is a space for your car; second, there is enough security to have a secure system for students,” he said. Because all lots have remained open this week, whether those two goals will be met remains to be seen. “So far it’s been good because we’ve been able to park wherever we want,” said sophomore Danielle Friedman, who has been parking in the Cameron lot. However, as soon as the new Grounds lot—located at the comer of Duke University and N.C. 751—is completed by Friday, parking regulations will be enforced, and all West undergraduates will have to park in the Blue Zone. Another unpopular policy is the decision to keep gated lots closed at night and on the weekends. The Cameron and Edens lots, for instance, will remain restricted throughout the weekend. “We decided that if we were going to make it work, we need a whole semester with the Blue Zone working as it’s supposed to. Then we can talk about raising the gates,” Pietrantoni said. Each of the gated lots has different eligibility requirements and pricing. The renovated Cameron lot, which costs $396, is considered “premium” parking whereas the “gated” parking—the Gross Chemistry lot and the two lots along Towerview Road between Wannamaker Drive and Duke University Road—will cost $l9B. Currently only faculty, employees and graduate students may buy permits for these lots, but depending on availability, as many as 120 off-campus undergraduate students may soon be able to purchase them as well. For those who do not pay the higher prices, ungated RT parking is available for $BO along Towerview Road and in the Grounds parking lot. Even though parking regulations have yet to be enforced, employees are already having trouble with the new configuration. “It’s entirely too much money to have to park. It’s ridiculous,” said Linda Gary, manager of Alpine Atrium, who says she received three parking tickets her first three days of work this year. Some employees also worry that they may have to park further away this year. Housekeeper Spencer Hicks said the inconvenient distance could have larger consequences than just a long daily walk. Tf you have children, and there’s an emergency, it takes time to get to your car,” he said. Off-campus undergraduates, who have not yet been allowed to buy premium parking permits and have been parking in the most distant lots this week, are also unhappy with their parking situation. “I think it’s going to >
be a problem since it’s so far away,” senior Liz Jacobs said. “I have a late class and I don’t want to walk back
alone in the dark. It’s on my mind.” Academic Council Chair Peter Burian, a professor of classical studies, said the new system may not affect faculty as much as other groups. T have not so far heard of any particular inconvenience to faculty. The new parking is all within reasonable walking distance from West Campus,” he said, adding that faculty rarely park their cars on campus at night. For those who do travel to and from their cars at night, safety has lingered as a major concern for several years. In addition to existing security, parking officials have added features to some of the parking lots, including a new guard building for the Blue Zone at the comer of Towerview Road and Wannamaker Drive and a new camera system for the Blue Zone. In addition, the entrance to campus at Wannamaker Drive and Duke University Road will be closed off.

While some students say they feel safe going to their car at night, other students and employees still feel more security is needed. ‘They said they were going to beef up security, but all I’ve seen is people directing traffic,” junior Helen Zayac said. Carol Chancey, attorney general of the Graduate and Professional Student Council and third-year biomedical engineering graduate student, pointed to security as just one of a few problems with the new parking configuration. ‘We remain concerned over safety related to the new Grounds RT lot and have discussed these issues with parking and traffic as well as campus police representatives,” she wrote in an e-mail. “Pedestrian access (sidewalks, lighting) in and around the Grounds lot and Basset Drive need to be improved to reflect the change in foot/car/bus traffic. The absence of security cameras is also disturbing.” Amhika Kumar and Greg Pessin contributed to this story.

Learning Divide Gov. George W. Bush’s pledge to increase
federal support of minority-favored colleges and universities raises deeper issues of neglect of education within black communities Members of this community have been accustomed to hearing about Duke’s financial struggles to keep up with its peer institutions. Yet over 100 colleges have struggled through over decades of racially motivated neglect, and now find themselves scrambling for the cash to sustain their faculty, let alone build a new dormitory. Last week, Texas Gov. George W. Bush unveiled a plan to direct federal government subsidies to historically black colleges and universities—HBCUs —and those institutions with large hispanic populations. If elected president, Bush promises to increase federal spending on the 104 HBCUs to $320 million, a boost of 77 percent. No matter what his motivation or the specifics of his plan, Bush’s leadership on this issue brings needed attention and may be critical to these colleges’ survival. HBCUs have a long history as institutions that foster scholarship on a range of issues, provide an important alternative for black students and train and cultivate black leaders and intellectuals. In an age when even the nation’s most progressive universities are plagued by racial conflict and inequality, HBCUs provide a place where members of the black community can study in a community that is receptive to their needs and backgrounds. To be fair, things are getting better. As mostly white colleges’ enrollments have become more welcoming to minorities and more reflective ofAmerica’s diverse population, HBCUs have begun to recruit white students. But the recent news of the growing disparity between black and white students’ SAT scores is a powerful argument for the preservation of HBCUs. As the nation’s primary and secondary education system continues to neglect lower-income and predominantly minority communities, it is important that the higher education system offers competitive institutions for groups who may not be treated equitably at mostly white universities. HBCUs, in the same way, have never been given a fair shake. For years, they have been neglected in favor of funding larger, whiter public counterparts. In order for these institutions to become comparatively elite and competitive, America needs to pay a lot of attention and supply a swift injection of money. The government should help them get there. Education is supposed to be a priority in this year’s national election, and the gap between the white and largely non-white institutions is growing. The longer America waits to help these institutions catch up, the larger this gap will become. In a nation that prides itself on equal opportunity for all, an educational disparity like this is not acceptable.

Letters to the Editor
OIT, ACES inflame freshmen and their advisors Last Friday marked the most frustrating day I have experienced in a decade of pre-major advising at Duke. Beginning that morning, a steady stream of first-year students met with me in my office to discuss their courses and drop or add on-line. All day long, we received repeated messages that the server was not functioning, with the injunction to try again later. When we were finally able to get far enough to determine whether a course had openings and attempted to enroll, we would frequently be stopped dead in our tracks
and forced to begin all over again in a maddening version of cyber Chutes and Ladders.
This happened not once, not twice, but literally dozens of times, again and again, all day long. What should have taken minutes took hours, and what should have been a pleasant encounter for advisor and student turned into a teeth-gnashing, anxiety-producing ordeal. Was this fiasco unforeseeable? Evidently not. When a colleague of mine, similarly frustrated, called the Office of Information Technology he was told, “Oh, well, you
know servers are expensive, and it’s only for three weeks in the fall and three weeks in the spring.” In other words, OIT saw the whole thing coming but opted to sit back and watch the train wreck from a safe distance. As one of many advisors and students who crawled out of the wreckage at the end of the day, I can only say it’s too bad that we, OITs hapless passengers, were the ones who paid the price.
Christina Askounis Lecturer, University Writing Program
Banning school prayer insults constitutional morals The Supreme Court made yet another absurd decision. In recent years, the court has made rulings with no regard for the principles of the American people. People have
been praying in American schools for 450 years. This decision, banning school-led prayer at events is ludicrous. The immoral depravity in this country defies logic and common sense. Have we become so arrogant and prosperous in this country that we constantly defy the living God? The Supreme Court is supposed to protect the
Constitution; the current court simply ignores the Constitution. The Constitution means nothing anymore.
Judges on the Court are supposed to be the most intelligent scholars in the nation. However, it has been written in the Bible that those “professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Romans I 22:4).
The Court was not established for judges to manipulate society so the Supreme Court can decree what society ought to be. The Constitution was written so the citizens could understand it. It means what it says—as written. The Constitution gives citizens the right to worship as they wish, the right of free speech, the right to peaceably assemble
and a separation of powers. The Constitution does
state a separation of church and state. The people are the church and the state! Teachers and principals do not make the laws. The state legislators make the laws. As far as I know, no state has established a state church. It is reprehensible that the United States government protects homosexuals and pomographers, while at the same time they forbid prayer in schools and leave our borders wide open for drugs and illegal aliens. Without regard for public safety, our government puts murderers, robbers, rapists and child molesters back on the street.

Freshmen, listen up There is a lot more to Duke than the glossy brochures tell you Guiliani’s Corner Dave Nigro Welcome class of 2004. I know you are still settling in here on this second day of your Duke careers, but it is time you start to replace the image of Duke created in your minds by the brochures and form your own vision of the University. I hope this review of present and future campus issues will draw you into our campus-wide discussions. We are eager for your input. This is YOUR Duke now and YOU have to make your voice heard. Don’t you just love the Chronicle already? What was your first Chronicle about? Duke money,

will also hear a lot about, especially living on East Campus. I always loved how the administration puts its freshmen in the close proximity to crack houses. I am not sure if it is just by luck or if they realize how convenient for students it is. In any case, please avoid the drive-by shootings even though the end of drive-by shooting
season is near. The more I hear President Keohane speak, the more I realize why she is our President. How many other University presidents would give postdrinking advice to an incoming class? Tucked away with the messages full of hope and optimism about the next four years, she slips in a quick “don’t get yourself killed” plug. That is skill; her team of speechwriters definitely earned their pay that day. In the class of 2004’s time here, the
role of alcohol at Duke will be redeThe fined.

The best thing Duke does is raise money (the second is public relations, third is basketball and fourth is education) so there will be a -lot of stories about that in the coming year.
President Keohane has the uncanny ability to get people to give major amounts of money to Duke. I do not know how she does it, but she has always done it well. Campus crime is something you
rules or by more education and more alternatives to alcohol-fueled events? Freshmen, remember what drinking at Duke is like now, because I guarantee you it will be different by the time you leave here. I know it is different from when I was in your position. Race is another issue that will be debated and discussed much in the next four years here. Unlike alcohol, though, the issue affects everyone in the Duke community, from students, to faculty, to staff, and even to Durham residents. And, also unlike alcohol, it is not an issue that will resolve itself easily within the next few years. What will be needed, though, is an intelligent dialogue on the subject, one that is free of name-calling and closed-
minded people.
Residential issues are an important
issue that will remain in the public spotlight until late in the decade when all new dorm construction and renovations happen. This issue brings many of the previous issues together; it determines how students live their daily lives. Students should always remain free to do what they choose, but the need to respect fellow students should be balanced with this freedom to make Duke a better place to learn and live. These are the issues that will define the class of 2004’s time here. In that time, upperclassmen will offer their opinions and their experiences of the past. Ultimately, though, the new class will make decisions about alcohol and about new concepts of residential life for themselves. We all rent in this community, but that does not mean we cannot change it. Dave Nigro is a Trinity senior.

Clack and his battery of anti-alcohol initiatives are just one of the many waves of administration-imposed alcohol rules which started with the alcohol policy set forth in the early days of President Keohane’s

Desert island life mirrors our own Everyday Dharma Kevin Pride Survivor is over, and tomorrow will be the first Wednesday in quite a while that millions of Americans won’t find themselves marooned around their television sets to watch the newest episode. It’s kind of sad, really. For months, much of the American public had followed the saga, “leaving behind their jobs, their
loved ones and all contact with civilization,” to exist on that island with those people and to share in their joy and pain Yes, the “ultimate human experiment” is finally over. The jury sounded off and voted for the “fat gay guy,” Richard Hatch (also dubbed “Machiabelly”), who drove away in a new auto with a cool million. And in the wake ofthis conclusion, a voyeuristic nation is left behind in the throws of Survivor withdrawal. Sort of. After all, most of the castaways are being smothered by opportunities for public appearances and commercial endorsements, with a seemingly countless number of rumors and speculation abounding regarding “who” is doing “what” for “whom.” Here’s just a small sample: A recent episode of VHl’s The List featuring Gervase, Colleen, Greg and Joel taking part in a panel to decide the best “desert island albums” of all time, with fellow castaway Jenna mediating the panel
discussion and host Jeff Probst appearing to read the
seven inch painting that drew a final bid of $530). And a one-man band, named “Thirty-Nine Days,” (the total time spent by the castaway on the island) emerged, recording ridiculous, though admittedly funny, songs about Survivor episodes and posting them on mp3.com—the band has made more than a thousand dollars to date on four songs. Which raises an essential question: Why? What is it about stranding 16 strangers on a desert island, watching them work simultaneously for and against one another and ultimately tearing each other to shreds that is so entertaining? Well, it probably has something to do with conflict and the depressingly sad presence of it in everyday life. Archetypal conflicts, the same ones that lurk constantly here on the mainland, emerged almost instantly on the .a island: old vs. young, men vs. women, corporate vs. bluecollar, gay vs. straight, mental prowess vs. physical ability, your lifestyle vs. my lifestyle, and so on. In the end, the real struggle wasn’t so much surviving the unpredictable terrain of island life. Rather, it was surviving the unpredictable social climate that exists among human beings and is the product of Survivor in public discourse, which-is, of course, a boon human nature—the very same struggle that routinely for host-network CBS. What they might not have aggrieves and scourges just about everyone, every day. anticipated was the immense cultural impact that The only difference is that their struggles took place on Survivor had on the nation.

final winners. Richard, Gervase, Jenna and Sue are scheduled to appear on Hollywood Squares next month. Ramona was a judge in last Friday’s Miss Teen USA Pageant, and runner-up Kelly will guest-host an episode of Talk Soup. Rumor has it that Sue is negotiating some kind of an endorsement with the World Wrestling Federation. And just when you think there couldn’t be a better castaway/commercial deal tag team, it’s reported that Rudy, the old fart who “doesn’t know what MTV means,” is being considered to appear in a Bud Light commercial. Such stretching of time, of each castaway’s “fifteen minutes of fame,” will assure the continued presence of

Professor: Franzlska Seraphim Not so long ago, the twenty-first century was widely predicted to become the “Asian century.” But now it seems more likely to become a “global century,’’dominated perhaps not by any one region but rather by global media of communication and multi-polar power structures. A key phenomenon of globalization is regional integration, spearheaded by the European
Community. Meanwhile, the nations, economic zones, and cultural spheres of East Asia envision and put into practice their own version of regionalism. How have Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese seen each other in relation to the geographical space they have inhabited, and what contexts have significantly shaped their interactions? Why, for instance, is regional integration in East Asia more tentative and informal than in Europe? -
-
Through our readings, lectures, and discussions, the grouping that is East Asia emerges primarily as a product of a modem history. Tracing international, transnational, as
sub-regional relations from the pre-modern era through end of the twentieth century, we will identify and examine the most important forces that have shaped East Asia historically. Concurrently, we will develop a critical perspective on what it means to study East Asia from within the American academic tradition of area studies
t
This course aims to introduce you to the major intellectual developments of modern thought as they originate in Germany from the age of enlightenment to the rise of Facism. Readings (all in English translation) will include texts on art in relation to religious toleration and Jewish emancipation, on aesthetic judgement and the role of art in Western society, and on interpretations of 19th and early 20th century Europe as a civilization in crisis.

The course will compare the effects of regionalization on sub-national, national, and regional or supernational levels of cultural identity in Europe and North America. The course will develop a set of theoretical approaches and will examine and compare particular European and North American cases, illuminating tensions between globalism and localism; universalism and particularism; multiculturalism and nationalism; and state rights versus individual or group rights.

NCAA sanctions still on horizon
� Duke tennis stars compete in U.S. Open Four-time All-America tennis player Vanessa Webb advanced into the second round of the U.S. Open with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Eva Bes. The former Blue Devil will face Alena Vaskova in her next match. Meanwhile, current Blue Devil Ansley Cargill, ranked 258 th in the world and the youngest American in the women’s draw, was defeated 6-7, 5-7 by Dawn Buth.
Duke officials may have to wait a while longer for their punishment By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle
Nearly two weeks since Corey Maggette apologized publicly about his involvement with Myron Piggie and nearly two months since he first admitted accepting money, nothing new has emerged from NCAA headquarters in Bloomington, Ind. Throughout the days that followed Maggette’s retreat from his hard-lined months-long stance of innocence, Duke officials said they expected a decision to arrive from the NCAA in the immediate future,

� Penn State leaves Top 25 for Ist time in 8 years
By PAULDORAN
Hill, Krill to miss opener BJ. Hill and Nate Krill will not be on the field to stop ECU The Chronicle
After its 29-5 loss on Sunday to DSC in the Kickoff Classic, Penn State’s eight-year run in the Associated Press Top 25 ended yesterday. The Nittany Lions had maintained the fourth-longest run of consecutive rankings, behind only Nebraska, Florida State, and Florida. The last time Joe Paterno's team was left unranked was during the final poll of the 1992 season, when Penn State lost to Stanford in the yBlockbuster Bowl.
while NCAA spokesmen assured the media that sanctions would follow shortly. Two months later, both parties insist an NCAA response is on the horizon, but there’s no telling exactly how far that landscape may stretch. “Honestly I do not know when it will happen,” NCAA public information coordinator Laronica Conway said. “This is the normal process, but I couldn’t tell you where [the NCAA committee] are or what they are doing right now.” Conway added that nothing has happened yet and the evaluation process is not too far along. Maggette informed Duke administrators in early July that he had accepted nearly $2,000 in cash payments from Piggie during the summer before his senior year of high school. Maggette issued

Piggie’s acknowledgement of guilt. According to NCAA bylaw 12.1.1-(a), his statement confirmed his ineligibility to play for the 1999 Blue Devil basketball team that advanced to the NCAA championship game. Duke’s NCAA compliance coordinator Chris Kennedy said the athletic department doesn’t expect the NCAA to reach a decision until later this fall. Initially, it seemed pretty clear cut that the NCAA would vacate the Blue Devils from the 1999 NCAA tournament, stripping the program of its runner-up finish and forcing the team to return a significant percentage of its $226,815 in revenue from
the tournament. Precedent for the exact amount was set when the NCAA sanctioned UCLA by withdrawing 45 percent of the school’s tournament revenue. UCLA was penalized for unknowingly having an ineligible player on the team—Jaßon Rush, a teammate of Maggette’s on the Kansas City-based summer league team, also accepted money from Piggie. At the time, Duke officials remained optimistic that college sports’ governing body might act leniently when handing See MAGGETTE on page 27

Garcia made a 35-footer for birdie on the 16th hole to go ahead for good, and the tiring Woods could not answer on the final two holes. Woods put it within 4 feet on the final hole for a possible birdie to tie, but Garcia sunk a 10-footer for a birdie of his own before Woods even had a chance. “At least I gave Sergio a run for his money,” Woods said. “He had to make some putts to earn it.” Woods flew across country earlier in the day and was fighting a cold or the flu after a streak of eight days ”

Sampras: “Gambill represents future of American tennis” By STEVE WILSTEIN Associated Press
When Pete Sampras NEW YORK dubbed Jan-Michael Gambill the future
of American men’s tennis after a tough quarterfinal match at Wimbledon, it was a compliment that could be taken different ways. For the 23-year-old Gambill, 'it could have been an honor or a burden. From Sampras’ point ofview, it could be read as a comment that the future may or may not be bright. As the U.S. Open begins Monday, Gambill hopes he will show that he is ready to live up to the most optimistic interpretation of Sampras’ remark and build on the confidence he gained at Wimbledon—his best Grand Slam effort so far. “This is the biggest tournament for me, and I’m looking forward to having a great U.S. Open,” Gambill said. “I’m steadily improving every tournament, and I’m ready to win some big matches.” Gambill leads a talented, if somewhat anonymous, group of young players trying to break through with their first Grand Slam title. Russia’s Marat Safin, Spain’s Juan Carlos Ferrero, Ecuador’s Nicolas Lapentti, Switzerland’s Roger Federer, and Germany’s Tommy Haas and Nicolas Kiefer all are capable of beating players like Sampras and defending champion Andre Agassi on any given day. Whether any of them can go on a tear and win seven matches over the next two weeks remains to be seen. If the women’s title chase appears to be limited to a rather select few Venus and Serena Williams, Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport and Monica Seles the men’s title this year seems much more up for grabs. Neither Sampras nor Agassi have been dominant on hardcourts this summer, and at 29 and 30, respectively, they may be a bit more pressed to cope with
the heat and humidity and day and night matches than their younger rivals. For Gambill, a native of Spokane, Wash., the issue could come down to how well he maximizes his strengths and minimizes his weaknesses. He reached

JAN-MICHAEL GAMBILL serves to Michael Chang last month at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. the final at the ATP Tour event in Los Angeles at the end of July, but had to retire in the third set against Michael Chang after spraining an ankle. He played two weeks later, losing to Kiefer in
the quarterfinals at Washington, and fell to Carlos Moya in a tuneup last week. “My serve pretty much drives my game,” Gambill said. “I have to concentrate on doing the fundamentals—serving well, returning well. I’m playing smarter tennis lately, not making the
dumb mistakes I used to make. My dad has always been my coach, and we’ve been working hard to smooth things out.” Although Gambill was part of the American Davis Cup team that got blasted 5-0 on clay in Spain last month, he said the opportunity to work with captain John McEnroe improved his game. “John helped me a lot on my volleying,” Gambill said. “He told me to firm up
right before I hit the ball. My volleying has been improving, and it’s added a dimension to my game. I’m still not a serve-and-volley player, but I have more
confidence now when I come in.” The hardcourts at the National Tennis Center are actually perfectly suited to a player like Gambill. They’re quick enough to give him an advantage on his serve, but not so quick that they put a high premium on rushing the net.

Agassi won here twice from the baseline, Patrick Rafter won twice by attacking the net, and Sampras won four times by doing everything. If Gambill is going to join them as a champion, he’ll have to emulate Sampras. He’ll also have to get past some early trouble. Looming in the second round is Australian Mark Philippoussis, the hardest server in the game and a finalist here two years ago.

NEW YORK There were no tears for Jennifer Capriati this time, no raw emotions laid bare at the U.S. Open. Instead, she talked about her tennis yesterday, about a 6-4, 6-0 first-round victory over Emanuelle Gagliardi. It was a welcome change from the soap opera that climaxed last year with a dramatic cleansing in which Capriati pleaded to leave her past once and for all and not be reminded of it every time she set foot on the court. “I think I’ve established my presence for good, hopefully,” she said. “People still say, ‘Glad to have you back.’ It’s not so much ifI’m going to stay, but what am I going to do? It’s just, I’m here. Yeah, I came back, seeded this year. It’s definitely different. I like it better like this.” Capriati came into the Open seeded for the first time since 1993. At No. 15, she hardly seems to be a legitimate threat for the title in a field that includes Martina Hingis, the Williams sisters and Lindsay Davenport, but it’s a step in the right direction. And she is not frightened by the challenge of the big names. “Of course I have thoughts of winning it,” she said. “I mean that would be the ultimate for me. That is my goal, of course. I’m not going to be satisfied with winning a couple ofrounds. I think I have a good chance so, of course, it’s going to make my own expectations a little higher.” It wasn’t all that long ago that Capriati was on the tennis scrap heap, her face on a police mug shot after drug charges and a seamy shoplifting affair. She was away from tournament tennis
for two years, discarded in a sport that doesn’t wait around for dropouts. She battled her way back tournament by tournament, reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open in January and getting to the round of 16 at Wimbledon before losing to Davenport. That added up in the computer to a No. 15 at the Open, an important acknowledgment for Capriati. “It means a lot,” she said. “It just shows me the accomplishments that I’ve done, how I’ve improved on my tennis to get seeded. “Must be doing something good, right?” She drew the first match on the first day at the Open, usually a time when the tournament is stretching from its slumber and rubbing its eyes. For her, though, Louis Armstrong Stadium was packed. The fans embraced her the way they always have here. ‘The first day of the tournament, playing in front of your home crowd, you want to play well and do well,” she said. Capriati started slowly, losing serve for 2-3 before winning four of five games
for the first set. She then waited through a 1-hour, 45-minute rain delay
before finishing off Gagliardi. “Maybe I was a little nervous, and plus she played really well in the beginning,” Capriati said. “It took me a while. I mean I really had to concentrate and focus on playing better myself. “Then I got in a good rhythm there. Then it just started raining. It was OK for me. I guess for her, it just really threw her off maybe. It’s hard to come back after that. “You know I felt good all the way through.”

Injuries devastate inexperienced defense FOOTBALL from page 23 the game and let them play because things usually happen differently in a game because once that game starts much of it is mental. There’s no substitute for having actually been on the field during a football game.” Although these injuries will allow younger players to gain experience, the Blue Devils will sorely miss two of their top upperclass defenders. Hill, a junior from Detroit, originally came to Duke to play defensive back, but was moved to running back just three weeks prior to the start of the 98-99 season. That year he rushed for just under 800 yards and scored two touchdowns.

The following season he returned as a running back, but his bid to lead the team in rushing for the second consecutive year was cut short when he tore his ACL during Duke’s 25-22 win over Maryland in the eighth game of the season. He finished last year with 237 yards and two touchdowns. This year Hill finally gets his wish, moving to the defensive side of the ball. Krill, who hails from McLean, Va., plans on becoming a full-time starter this year after three years of work as a reserve. He has made eight starts during his career and has tallied 60 tackles. He has not participated in any drills since off-season surgery on both shoulders, but he hopes to be back by the second or third game. These key injuries further deplete a defense hit hard by graduation. Franks noted that it is hard to predict how a young defense will perform in their first game together. “It’s hard for me to give you an evaluation on our defense,” Franks said. “We have not played anybody yet but ourselves. It’s a group that has a lot of leadership, but it’s a group that’s mostly untested.... There are guys that need to step out there and have great contributions for us to have a good defense.” This lack of experience cou|d both hurt and help the Blue Devils this weekend. With the plethora of young talent, the Blue Devils hope to have enough depth to compete with an East Carolina team that outscored its opponents by almost a two-to-one margin in the fourth quarter last season. However, the pressure could also be very overwhelming for a young team, even at home. There is some concern that more East Carolina fans will show up than Duke fans. However, Franks remained optimistic about the turnout. “They have more alumni in this state than we do so you would think they have a chance to have more people in there than we do,” he said. “Hopefully the students will turn out... I hope it gets pretty even.” Whether the crowd has an influence or not, Duke’s lack of experience and injuries will definitely be a factor.

down its punishment because Maggette’s infraction occurred before he arrived on campus, while Rush continued to take money from an agent after he began playing for UCLA. “I still don’t know what they are going to do,” Kennedy said. “They have some leeway to do things other than just take 45 percent. They have some latitude there.”
NEC Invitational. Tm so cold. I’m freezing,” Woods said to caddie Steve Williams as he waited to putt on the 17th hole on a warm night in the desert. A day after Woods finished off the field in near darkness to win the NEC Invitational in Akron, Ohio, he and Garcia needed portable lights mounted on cranes to finish the final five holes at the Bighorn Gold Club. And the darker it got, the better Garcia played.
Garcia made eight birdies, five on the back nine, against a pair of bogeys for what would have been a 66. Woods didn’t make a bogey, but managed only five birdies, including the conceded putt on the final hole, for a 67. “I was a little nervous on the first hole,” Garcia said. “After that, I started calming down a little bit.” Garcia grew increasingly animated as he played nearly flawless down the stretch, while Woods appeared tired and trying to keep his focus in a surreal setting in the desert foothills.
Kennedy noted that Duke’s actual profit from the NCAA tournament was far less than the sum it earned from advancing to the championship game, because that total was divided among the nine ACC teams. Duke administrators anticipate that the NCAA might take a portion from what the University actually received rather than what they earned. Two weeks ago, Maggette displayed his first public act of contrition when he called his behavior “embarrassing.” Admitting he made a “mistake,” Maggette publicly apologized to his family, Mike Krzyzewski, the basketball program and especially to his fans. “I was wrong,” Maggette told the Chicago SunTimes. “I would hope that my experience could be a lesson to others because this is something I would not like to see any other person have to go through.” Maggette said he thought the money, a $2,000 total distributed over several months, was supposed to compensate the players for food and expenses incurred from traveling with the summer league team. “I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, especially since [Piggie] was our coach and seemed like a nice guy,” he told the Sun-Times. “I just assumed he wouldn’t be doing anything that would compromise us in any way.” Now a multi-millionaire with the Los Angeles Clippers, Maggette said he is considering reimbursing Duke for any funds the NCAA takes away.
