VA teams up with national developer By SARAH McGILL The Chronicle

The Veterans Affairs campus opposite Duke University Medical Center is expanding, and it isn’t just adding a few bed spaces. The major project, one of the first of its kind, will include

restaurants, hotels and banks

along with office and lab space—all on federal land. “It’s the largest mixed-use project in the country for VA campuses and it really spotlights Durham, the VA and Duke,” said John Infantine, vice president of LCOR, whose Bethesda, Md. office will be developing the property for the VA.

The

possibility

for

the

650,000-square-foot, six-building Erwin Road development was created in 1991, when Congress passed a law that allowed VA campuses to lease their property for private de-

velopment in exchange for new research and hospital space. “I think the whole nature of the project is really creative,”

said Dan Miller, spokesperson

for the VA. “If we don’t do this, the likelihood that we will be able to serve the needs of our nation’s veterans is remote.” In return for allowing LCOR to develop the prime real estate adjacent to Duke into a mix of retail, commercial and research space, the VA will receive 19,000 square See VA HOSPITAL on page 9 Is

A SAFE RIDES VAN picks up three students at 2 a.m. Sunday. Students say they want more vans to provide quicker late-night pick-ups

DSG proposes Safe Rides expansion ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Apparently, Safe Rides is not making people feel that safe. Duke Student Government sent a proposal to Auxiliary Services officials in favor of expanding the program by adding vans and extending pick-up service to its entire service area, bounded by Club Boulevard, Duke Street, Chapel Hill Street, Anderson Street, Chapel Hill Road, Cornwallis Road, 15-501 Bypass and Hillsborough Road. For years, students have complained that Safe Rides does not adequately serve student needs, mostly because it involves long waits.

Most recently, two students were mugged March 20, 1999 while they were waiting for a van at the Towerview Drive speed bump across from Cameron Indoor Stadium. Two other students waiting for a ride Oct. 24 were robbed at gunpoint at the West Campus bus stop. “A lot of students have voiced concerns about there being a high wait time and not enough actual Safe Rides vans,” said junior Mandrill Taylor, DSG’s director of student services and the plan’s author. “It’s not meeting the students’ needs adequately... Safety is one of the most important issues that shouldn’t be an issue.” Associate Vice President for Auxil-

not yet seen the proposal, said the University already plans to add one van to the two already in service this year. “We had so many calls on the use of it,” said Pietrantoni, who added that graduate students’ concerns prompted the increase. “It wasn’t overloaded but it was very heavily used, very busy.” Pietrantoni said his plan is designed “to keep the process going at a good, steady pace.” Off-campus expansion bears significant financial implications beyond

Congress reconvenes for final session By STEVEN HOLMES and ERIC SCHMITT N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON —Aware that what they do in the next few weeks may help determine who controls the federal government next year, members of Congress return from summer recess this week for a final session compressed by the election campaigns and dominated by tax cuts, education, health care and government spending. The Republican majority’s first step will be trying to override President Bill Clinton’s vetoes of their two top tax priorities—repealing the marriage tax and the estate tax. But the efforts to override the two vetoes have

The Democrats have been pressing for concessions from the Republicans on two health care fronts: a bill to expand patients’ rights in dealing with insurers and legislation to add payments for prescription drugs to the Medicare program for the elderly. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-IIL, is interested in trying to broker a deal op the stalled patients’ bill of rights, and a one-vote shift in the Senate—Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga., was appointed to replace the late Sen. Paul Coverdell, a Republican—could make a difference.

While many Duke students enjoyed long, lazy days at the beach or glitzy internships in big cities this summer, sophomore Katie Rickel was busy making history, and saving it, too. As one of only a handful of students chosen from across the nation to spend June and July at the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts, Rickel played a key role in an effort to preserve Yiddish literature and to keep the language alive. And Duke’s library system now holds 1,500 Yiddish books on loan from the center. “Eight hundred kids requested information, and

shelving books and lugging boxes around. It was a lot of physical work,” she said. Although many people are unaware of the language’s breadth and depth, Rickel learned firsthand that Yiddish is a complete language and an indispensable part of Eastern European Jewish culture. “It was sort of looked down upon—sort of aver-

NEW COURSE

Creating Community-Based Performances 0'

As the first few weeks of school bring freshmen swarms of role models and acronyms—resident advisers, first-year advisory counselors, pre-major advisers—a smaller group of new students will receive even more support. Through the African-American Mentoring Program, 38 black students have been paired up with upperclass mentors who will provide guidance on matters ranging from social life to academics. The $7,800 program, funded by Trinity College and overseen by the Black Student Alliance, originated with a proposal by three BSA members —seniors Kimberly Raines, Zewditu Asfaw and Richard Jones. Now, 26 older students are serving as mentors to 38 mentees, each of whom chose to participate in the program. “Some people thought it was too exclusive,” said Jones, co-chair of AAMP and vice president of publicity for BSA. “[But it’s justl an addition to the FAC program. Another resource to have.” Not only does the program connect freshmen and upperclassmen, but it also provides interaction between faculty, administrators and students. Although faculty do not necessarily provide day-to-day advice, they are on hand to offer guidance with academic questions. Not all of the involved faculty members are black, but Assistant Dean of Student Development Carmen Tillery, BSA’s adviser, described them as “a group of color that relates to African Americans.” Because black students are just a fraction of

Athletic department develops, refines tennis fee plan Students and employees will pay a discounted rate when the building opens, and the Durham public will pay around $lB-20 By JOHN BUSH The Chronicle

Balls will be bouncing around the Sheffield Tennis Center more often this year. Although the Athletic Department built the facility primarily for varsity use, it has decided to open the building’s doors to the public. “We’re opening up the facility to students, employees and the public for two main reasons,” said assistant men’s tennis coach and Sheffield Tennis Center Director David Hagymas. “[lt provides! a service to people. Second, it generates some money for the facility.” Starting Nov. 1, the general public will be able to play on the same courts used by the varsity team for a fee, while students and employees will receive a dis-

counted rate. “We haven’t actually set a rate yet. A ballpark figure would be $lB-22,” Hagymas said. Student reaction to the plan has been mixed, with many disappointed about the fee. “I’m kind of used to paying when I’m playing,” said junior Amador Zuazua. “Of course, I think that the team should have priority, but I think it’s a good idea for when the team’s not practicing to use it to have sign-ups to reserve the court time [for no charge].” Junior Jack McManus voiced a similar opinion. “Whatever time that varsity is not using it, it should be free of charge,” he said The price of playing in Sheffield will probably not be incorporated into the student activities fee for the next several years. At the end of the year, the department will revisit its Sheffield usage policy. Folding costs into the student activities fee will likely depend on the facility’s long-term popularity, and department officials will probably wait several years to decide whether to make that move.

THE SHEFFIELD TENNIS CENTER opened last year for use by Duke’s varsity tennis teams, but it will open to the public and the rest of the Duke community this fall for a fee. ‘The tennis teams will have priority and will take that it will be that bad.

Plan calls for several new vans at S67K per van each year SAFE RIDES from page 1 an annual cost of $67,000 per year, according to Pietrantoni, for the van, driver and fuel. DSG’s plan did not analyze costs, but it reads, “Recognizing the inherent expense of expanding any University-wide service, DSG is willing to help devise various funding strategies should the need arise.” Taylor said that if he had to choose between adding

vans and expanding pick-up locations, he would lean

toward the former. Currently, Safe Rides will pick students up from the Duke Manor, Chapel Tower, or Duke Villa Apartments and any University building. Among students, though, a move toward expanded service seems to have mixed support “Because of the potential for social events to move offcampus... if they could expand their services to ac-

commodate student life, it would be beneficial to the University and the students,” junior Lisa Rauenzahn said. “I don’t think that’s unreasonable.” But others expressed concern that the off-campus expansion would turn Safe Rides into a taxi service. “I think the people who need these things should pay for a taxi instead of having tuition subsidize it,” said junior John Campbell.

programming. “It’s not like one-size-fits-a11...,” he said. “I like to support student initiatives and that’s the bottom line.” For now, organizers of this student initiative say they are pleased to see it growing—several students who were not initially notified of the new mentoring program have requested that they be assigned their own mentors. “You can never have too many resources,” said Asfaw, who is also BSA’s assistant financial officer. “We all wish we had someone there. We want to help someone not make the same mistakes we did.”

concerned about accuracy of that data. “The Duke record is really what we can verify and certify as 100 percent accurate. With SAT scores, we’re not always sure if we have the latest test results or if all tests were reported.” Though the registrar will still certify student test scores apart from the transcript upon request, some students said the lack of test scores on the transcript itself will be an inconvenience when they complete internship applications. “I think it should be optional to include that information,” said junior Nipun Chhabra. “When I was applying for summer research fellowships, some of them specifically asked for SAT scores, and it was nice to have the option of having them on the transcript.” Underclassmen with shorter academic histories may miss the information more than their older counterparts. “If an internship is geared to freshmen and sophomores, they will likely ask for test scores,” said junior Emil Avanes. ‘Tour freshman transcript is nearly blank, and it would be helpful if you could show more than one semester’s grades when applying for internships for the summer after freshman year. By senior year, it doesn’t seem necessary because you have all the grades to show your progress.” Yet, other students did not seem to mind the change and supported the registrar’s decision. “Personally, I’d rather them not have that information,” said senior Heather Ross. “It just doesn’t seem relevant.” And even Avanes admitted that the change is not a devastating development. “If it’s required, students should just be aware of that and submit the scores themselves,” he said.

Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson, whose office funded the program, explained that he felt a responsibility to sponsor the program, for a group of students who have often been neglected by Duke. But, he added that his support was not exclusive to black students, or even to this particular type of

Center attempts to preserve Yiddish language, lit. YIDDISH from page 3 lishing company on the lower east side of New York,” said Zucker, who teaches in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature. “He’d heard they were closing so he decided to go and collect these Yiddish books that they’d probably throw out. He was always into this for as long as I can remember.” As the effort began to grow, Lansky sacrificed his personal plans for his fledgling operation. “He took a leave of absence before graduate school and he went all over the

country in a t-shirt and jeans to collect as many Yiddish books as he could, with the intent of starting a library,” Rickel said. “He put out announcements in the newspapers, and went all over America and Canada. It started as a big warehouse in Holyoke and moved to a beautiful new building in Amherst.” The success of the book center depends largely on the lengths Lansky and his team will go to in order to salvage collections of Yiddish literature that would otherwise be lost. One night, she called to tell him that she had heard that there was a

heap of Yiddish books outside in a dumpster in New York City. He and his helpers immediately jumped onto a train to the city at 2 a.m. that morning and rescued the books—-8,000 in all. After 20 years of such dedication to its cause, the book center has collected millions of books and still has more on the way. ‘Their mission is to make sure that every major university in the country has at least a basic collection of Yiddish books,” Zucker said.

Now that the center has rescued Yiddish from the past, its next task is to move it into the future —to help a new generation breathe life into a oncedying language. It is now in the midst of a new project that should keep volunteers busy for awhile: the digitalization of all the Yiddish books in their collection. “A lot of the problem with these books is that they are old and crumble easily,” Zucker said. “They’re scanning these books into the computer—Yiddish is the first language in the world to do it.”

Corporate boards give presidents connections, experience � CORPORATE BOARDS from page 1 sity presidents are serving on corporate boardssaid

Sheldon Steinbach, general counsel for the American Council on Education. “They’ve served on corporate boards for a long time, but an increasing proportion are serving to help bring together universities and corporations to

the benefit of both.” For years, Keohane has worked with the world’s corporations, including Boston’s State Street Bank during her years at Wellesley and the international mega-firm IBM.

Now, Keohane serves on IBM’s board of directors, ranked as the ninth most successful by Business Week. She traveled last month to Japan for one of its seven meetings each year. “It’s very interesting to watch the difference between corporate and academic decision making,” Keohane said. “I find it helpful both as a foil for what we do and as a source for new ideas.” Although the corporate board and IBM’s CEO function very differently than Duke’s board and

president, Keohane said IBM’s business gives her good ideas for her work on Duke University Health System business. “In corporations, the CEO really does make decisions after consultation. The president of the university makes decisions with much more collaboration with the board,” Keohane said. “The main job of the corporate board is to hire a CEO, support the person, and if necessary, fire the CEO and find another person. A University’s board of trustees has more ties to the institution and ties to its fortunes than corporate board members.” The benefits clearly cut two ways and extend beyond intellectual collaboration. As evidenced by the Campaign for Duke, a university’s success can hinge as much on its financial status as anything else. Creating connections in the corporate world, whether with the companies for which a president serves or with people met through those interactions, can go a long way toward spreading a school’s reputation or earning a personal or corporate gift.

“When you’re in a leadership position of a college or university in this country, although this is not yet true of other countries, it is very much a public relations function,” Steinbach said. “If your president is

chosen to participate in these activities, its only to the gain ofthe institution.” And many universities like Princeton, where president Harold Shapiro serves on Dow Chemical Co.’s board, and Arizona State, where president Lattie Coor is a director for Bank One in Arizona, have recognized these benefits. At the same time, many schools realize that these connections have the potential to create serious conflicts of interest. Keohane said that she stays out of most equipment purchasing decisions, anyway, so her service to IBM could not really influence University actions. At most schools, a president’s connections with the corporate world must be approved by at least some subset of the board of trustees so that it can both scrutinize the tie and learn about it so that questions of conflict do not arise later on.

feet of new clinic space, a renovation and consolidation of its research space and additional parking—all with no capital investment. But the unusual nature ofthe publicprivate project, to be dubbed the City of Medicine Center, posed a conundrum: Is the project taxable? City council members said “yes,” LCOR said “no” and a long court battle threatened if the two sides didn’t reach a compromise.

Negotiations between the two sides produced a solution Aug. 21: LCOR will pay $210,000 annually or its property taxes, whichever is higher. “A month ago I didn’t think the possibility of a deal existed,” said city council member Dan Hill. “But the developer and the VA worked really hard with the city manager and the city staff and the mayor to come up with a deal—they kept this whole issue from going to court, which was only going to make attorneys a lot of money.” Hill said he was satisfied with the deal and pleased that the center will provide an estimated 2,300 jobs, but dis-

liked the concept of privately developed federal land. “In Durham, one of our problems from a tax point ofview is that there are lots of non-profits,” Hill said. “Now a private developer has figured out how to join the fray.” The VA’s neighbors in the HillandaleWatts community are not thrilled with the project either, worrying that the development will bring with it noise in the construction phase and traffic and congestion afterwards. “It’ll damage the residential flavor of the neighborhood,” said John Moore, who lives on tree-lined Club Boulevard, just one mile from the VA campus. “I think the city, as long as they got tax revenue from it—that was their only concern.” In an effort to address community concerns, LCOR scaled down the project in negotiations with the city to almost half of the initially proposed size of 1.2 million square feet. Before construction begins, the Office of Management and Budget must approve the project, LCOR and the VA

must finalize agreements and city council members must review plans for each phase of the construction. For now, though, LCOR is negotiating with possible tenants: enterprises like Bank of America, Jersey Mike’s, Starbucks, Chapel Hill’s Inside Scoop Ice Cream and universities including Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Campbell University, along

with several biotechnology companies and dot-com firms. “We’re envisioning a pedestrian-oriented retail area designed to serve the employees of the medical system, University and hospital, and the patients of both hospitals,” said Infantine. LCOR was awarded the project in 1998 by the federal government, and has been working on sight planning analysis, environmental studies, architectural plans and negotiations with potential tenants. “[Big] name medical centers on par with Duke [and] all cities around the country are looking at how this project will be successful,” Infantine said. “It’s a win-win for everybody involved.”

Campaigning Religion

LET'S QUIT

The tactful and tolerant religious expression of Sen. Joseph Lieberman is a refreshing change from the extremist politics of hard-line conservative Christians

The

first amendment to the constitution states that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” But what about candidates who speak openly about their religion? Should they be held to a different standard? The answer is no. The Democratic candidate for vice president is Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn, the first Jew to appear on a national ticket. Faith plays an important role in Lieberman’s life—he invokes Biblical passages on the campaign trail, he will not campaign on the Jewish Sabbath and he has called many times for religion to have a greater role in American life. His actions have caused a bit of a stir, especially among some religious conservatives. Although they laud Lieberman’s faith, there is some resentment of the favorable coverage that Lieberman’s faith gets over their own preaching. Yet, there is a fundamental difference in their messages that might explain why Lieberman’s faith is easier—for the public and the press —to swallow. Lieberman calls for a renewal of faith and for spirituality to play a larger role in the daily lives of all Americans. But unlike many politically active Christian conservatives, Lieberman does not make blanket statements suggesting that America’s ills are the consequence of a lack of faith or that the tenets of his faith should become law. The acceptance of Lieberman’s faith likely comes from what is a growing discontent toward the religious right and its strong-arm evangelicalism. Although a majority ofAmericans are religious, they do not necessarily desire laws based upon faith. In many ways, the senator’s faith is just what the constitution would deem proper—a leader with a strong sense of faith, but not a religious zealot who would use his faith to violate the first amendment rights of others. Lieberman is sharing his faith as part of his personal life; he is not trying to make his Orthodox Judaism a part of everyone else’s life. He is not the only politician who acts this way. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is a devout Mormon. And, when Hatch invoked his faith during his failed presidential run earlier this year, he did not attempt to convince the American people that his faith was right and other faiths were wrong. Like Lieberman, Hatch used his faith to explain to voters the principles that guide his life, and he suggested that each American attempt to renew her spiritual center. There are some risks in speaking so openly about religion—a candidate needs to be careful not to offend secular citizens or act in any way that undermines the spirit of the First Amendment. Hopefully, Americans will continue to respond positively to Lieberman’s message, as well as other candidates who express their personal faith but do not want to interfere with the faiths of others

textbooks are the easy calls. It’s the papers from seventh through 12th grades that are tough. We don’t have much of those, but what is there—from a simple Spanish vocabulary test to a research paper—helped change my life’s direction: between

George W. visits a ghost of GOP past Off the record Martin Barna Deep within the confines of a secret underground lair, Gov. George W. Bush and Karl Rove, Bush’s chief strategist, are hard at work “Dubya, give me the magic wand.” “Aw, Karl, can’t I cast the spell this time?” “No, you may not. Last time you bungled it; you used

‘hokey-pokey 5 instead of ‘hocus-pocus’, and Gore picked Joe Lieberman.” With that, W. hands Rove the wand. Rove says the incantation: “Arms of Nixon and gut of Newt, lips of George and stumbles ofFord, bring us the strategist none can afford! Hocus-pocus!” And with a flash of light, out of a puff of smoke appears the dirtiest campaign strategist of them all, the ghost ofLee Atwater—the man who made Willie Horton the Democratic candidate in 1988. This was the man who could pull out all the negative stops, from photographs of Boston Harbor to chastising former Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis for his nerdy intellect. “Who summons me?” bellows Atwater. “Oh, its you Dubya. Hello Karl.” “Sorry to disturb you from your rest, but we have a great big problem. A1 Gore somehow shook offthe mediacreated image that he was wooden and did not care about people and gave an exceptionally effective speech at the Democratic convention. He is tied with us in the polls, and since undecided voters tend to vote with their

wallets, our plan to resurrect the last Bush administration might be all for naught!” “Karl, calm yourself. What do you have to say Dubya?” “Huh? Fm sorry Lee, I wasn’t paying attention, I became disillusioned by this children’s book.” Atwater gives a puzzled look. “Distracted, Lee, he means distracted,” says Karl. “Oh,” says Lee. “I see we still have that problem.”

‘What should we do?” “Karl, have you tried the pundits? What is Pat Buchanan doing, can he help?” “Lee, Pat left the party to join the Reform Party because he did not like the fact that the GOP no longer subscribed to his plan to build a Great Wall around the

United States.” “You mean ascribe,” says W. “The word is ascribe.” “No, Dubya, it is subscribe,” responds Karl. “No, Karl, it is ascribe, I got this one wrong once.” “George, this time ‘subscribe’ is right, you’d be surprised, words can be tricky like that.” “Well as we say in Texas, ‘whatever’!” “Karl,” Lee chimes in, “What about Bob Novak? What about George Will? What about Alan Keyes?” “Novak is too busy inflating his ego. Will still refers to Dubya as ‘President Fratboy’ And, Keyes ran for president against us!” ‘That George Will is a minor league a.” “Dubya, you really must stop referring to the media like that!” “Forget what he said yesterday... Keyes ran for President?” interrupts Lee. ‘Yes, he did. Twice.” says Karl “Twice? Well, There is one thing left to do. We need to go negative—very negative.” ‘That’s a problem, Gore currently has the momentum, and worse yet, his momentum is based on an issues

oriented campaign.”

“Drat! Issues! We are doomed!”shouts Atwater. “What about some push-polling?” “You told us that last time we conjured you!” ‘Well, it worked on McCain.” “It will not work on Gore. Gore seems to have insulated...”

“Inundated.”

‘Thanks Dubya, inundated... wait I do mean insulated-now you have me doing it!”

“Uggggghhhh.” “Something wrong, Lee?” “Yes! You seem to be right where A1 Gore wants you. You tried running a glossy,razzle-dazzle campaign based on the empty catch phrase of ‘compassionate conservatism,’ but when the going got tough and Gore got going, you drifted from the empty message and tried to defend your stance on policies.” “What about the Polish?” “And now you are running a campaign based on the very issues A1 Gore wants to discuss, like prescription drug benefits and federal funding for education. He set you up like a straw man in an Oklahoma twister.” “What do we do?”W. and Karl ask. ‘You go negative, real negative. Lasso him to Monica Lewinsky and campaign finance reform. Go negative and get back to empty catch phrases. If there is one thing Republicans cannot win on, it is the issues.” And with that Atwater disappears in a puff of smoke. “You heard him Dubya,” said Karl. “Yes, I did. But what is compassionate conservatism

anyway?”

“Uggggghhhh.”

3-1 victory. “That goal was really deflating,” coach Liz Tchou said. Duke pulled its keeper for an extra attacker after the third Michigan goal, but it couldn’t muster a consistent offensive attack and failed to score in the closing moments. Yesterday’s loss in St. Louis, Mo. dropped the team to 0-3 on

the season. Although Tchou was disappointed with the result, she was pleased with her team’s performance. “Our passing game was on, we just couldn’t find the elusive back of the net,” she said. After a scoreless first half, Courtney Reid managed to find the back of the cage for the

Chrissy Ashley. Tchou praised her senior cocaptain, saying she played skillfully in both weekend games. Instead of focusing on her customary defensive position, Sommer was asked to play a variety ofroles in both games. Duke was frustrated all day by Michigan goalie Molly Maloney, who made five saves. “Michigan’s goalkeeper came through with some really big saves,” Tchou said.

The Michigan game was the first action of the season for junior keeper Hallie Smith. Sophomore Erica Perrier started the first two games of the season. “I wanted to give Hallie a chance to see what she could do in game action,” Tchou said.

Coach thanks undergraduates for strong attendance and flexibility with parking situation By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

PAGE 17

He played in six of last year’s games and started in the home opener, but he was nowhere to be found Saturday night. Amidst a night that saw five true freshmen take the field for

their first collegiate appearances, Bobby Campbell was conspicuously absent, while thirdstring quarterback D. Bryant called the signals for over onethird of the Blue Devils’ offensive snaps—and led the offense for the entire fourth quarter.

But don’t worry—Campbell’s not going anywhere on the depth chart. The fifth-year senior is still backing up starter Spencer Romine. At a press conference

yesterday, Franks explained that his goal was to give Bryant—a sophomore who made his debut for Duke on the game field and a likely candidate to take over the starting position in 2001—some experience. “I wanted to get [Bryant] in the game,” he said. ‘The plan was to get him in the game the first half and the second half. At the point in time in the second half when we put him in, I thought it would be better to leave [Bryant] in the game than to put Bobby Campbell in there.” Although the focus was on the players at yesterday’s press conference, Franks went out of his way to thank students who came jout to support the Blue Devils over the weekend. He also said that he appreciated the effort of undergraduates on West Campus who moved their

SENIOR QUARTERBACK BOBBY CAMPBELL, shown here in last year’s game cars to make space for visitors to the game. against Florida State, remains second on the depth chart.

“It didn’t go by unnoticed,” Franks said. Duke Student Government line monitors reported that approximately 2,000 students showed up for the game. Franks went on to explain that although Campbell didn’tsee any time against the Pirates, he would take over should Romine get hurt. Romine was sidelined with a separated shoulder last year after the game at East Carolina and subsequently spent three games on the bench. Saturday, after Romine was sacked four times by the end of the third quarter, the Blue Devils were lagging far behind and showing few signs of offensive progress. Franks wanted to put in another quarterback, but he felt it was unfair to stick Campbell in given the situation. “It wouldn’t be giving Bobby any experience at the end of the game,” Franks said. “I don’t think that it would be very fair of me to put Bobby in that type See FOOTBALL

It gave asked Carter in a reference to last January’s Super Bowl, when Mike Jones’ tackle stopped Tennessee’s Kevin Dyson a yard short of the tying touchdown on the game’s final play. It was just what the NFL wanted for Dennis Miller’s first official Monday night telecast: a shootout in St. Louis. ‘This was a game where if you like offense, it was fun to watch,” Denver coach Mike Shanahan said. Tf you liked defense, you picked the wrong one to go to.” In addition to the late game heroics, Az-Zahir Hakim went 86 yards on a punt return and took a short pass from Warner 80 yards for another score. Warner, who was 25-of-35, also had a 72-yard TD pass to Marshall Faulk on the same pattern on which Hakim scored —between them, the two passes covered perhaps 20 yards total laterally and the receivers did the rest. The Broncos were nearly as effective on offense.

ference the TDs scored by the Rams against field goals by the Broncos. In all, there were scores on eight of 10 possessions by both teams. The win was the first as a head coach for Mike Martz, who was St. Louis’ offensive coordinator last season and took over when Dick Vermeil retired after the Rams beat Tennessee in last January’s Super Bowl. Martz took the blame for the interception. “It was my call,” he said. “We almost blew it. Fortunately, we were able to come back and put it in the end zone.” This was a shootout from the start. Denver, coming off a 6-10 season after winning consecutive Super Bowls, made it look easy on its first possession, going 59 yards in just six plays to take a 7-0 lead on Griese’s 8-yard bootleg. Davis had a 12-yard run on that series and Griese completed passes of 16 and 18 yards to Rod Smith and Duane Carswell. Hakim tied it with his 86-yard return which he took straight up the field and outran everyone. Jason Elam’s 32-yard field goal 1:18 into the second quarter gave the Broncos a 10-7 lead. But the Rams came back with a nine-play, 89-yard drive capped by Faulk’s 5-yard TD run. Then, after Griese hit Smith on a slant for a 25-yard score, the Rams came right back, going 77 yards on nine plays capped by Warner’s 7-yard TD pass to Ricky Proehl and it was 21-17 St. Louis at the half.

How ’bout them Cowboys? Galloway out for year By JAIME ARON Associated Press IRVING, Texas Joey Galloway was supposed to be the guy who turns around the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, his knee injury has turned things

upside down. Tests Monday revealed a torn ligament in the wide receiver’s left knee that will require season-ending surgery. Making matters worse, quarterbacks Troy Aikman and Randall Cunningham are listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game. Aikman suffered his ninth career concussion in the second quarter of

loss Sunday’s 41-14 against Philadelphia. The Eagles mauled him all nine times he tried to throw, resulting in four sacks and five incompletions. Aikman was still feeling dizzy and having headaches Monday. If his symptoms continue Tuesday, it’s highly unlikely he would play Sunday. “Let me be sure we’re clear about one thing: I’m not interested in any way of jeopardizing his long-term well-being,” owner Jerry Jones said. “If you think I’m sitting here pushing him to get back out there on behalf of winning a ball game, the answer is no.”

SHARON STEINMAN/FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM

WIDE RECEIVER JOEY GALLOWAY is carted off the field after tearing a knee ligament near the end

Cunningham, who missed four preseason games because of shoulder problems, hurt the thumb on his throwing hand when he hit it against a defender. Monday, while squeezing a glob of Silly Putty borrowed from his kids, he said he

expects to be ready. Jones said he’s looking into bringing in another quarterback, preferably a veteran. He already plans to put Galloway on injured reserve and activate rookie Clint Stoerner off the practice squad. Galloway, incidentally, was Dallas’ third quarterback. Galloway’s receiving skills made him the centerpiece of the Cowboys’ offseason overhaul. To get him, Jones gave Seattle two first-round draft picks and signed the speedster to a sevenyear contract. Galloway caught four passes for 62 yards in the opener, including a four yarder in the fourth quarter for the Cowboys’ lone touchdown. He was hurt on Dallas’ third-to-last snap. Jones said he had no problem with Galloway still being in the game, even though star running back Emmitt Smith was long gone. The wide Receiver had a similar injury two games into his sophomore year at Ohio State in 1992.

“He’s distressed about it, very down,” Jones said. “But he basically told the doctor and told me there’s no issue about rehabbing from this.” Aikman’s health is much more of a concern. This is his third concussion in his last nine games, and. with each one comes the question of how many more can—or will—he take. The cumulative effect of concussions has ended many careers, most recently Steve Young. A generation earlier, Roger Staubach called it quits after concussions were coming too frequently. “I think Troy is astute enough, smart enough to know when he can get on the field and perform at his best and whether he’s at risk,” Smith said. “He’s going to need all the professional advice he can get and make the decision for himself.” Last season, Aikman, 33, suffered a concussion early in a game in

Indianapolis and returned. He played the next week and a relatively light blow gave him a second concussion. He sat out the following two weeks. Jones said doctors consider the latest concussion less severe than the one he suffered against the Colts.

of situation. He’d like to be in there when he’s got a chance to affect the outcome of the game.” Bryant originally came to Duke under former coach Fred Goldsmith as a redshirt freshman in 1998 before forgoing that year ofeligibility by playing on the basketball team. When he came back late to spring practice with Franks, he was lagging behind his competition in a new offensive system. After taking off a semester last fall due to academic reasons, Bryant returned this spring with a renewed dedication to football. By the end of the summer, he had earned considerable respect from Franks.

“I was a little skeptical of him,” Franks admitted at the end of summer practice. “[Last year] his commitment to football wasn’t there. He was sitting on the end of the bench, hoping the guy would hit about 30 points so he could get in and score one or two. “I’ll tell you what, it’s funny, I’ve really made a 360 with him. He’s probably got the best throwing motion of any of our quarterbacks. If he gets more and more experience, he’s got a chance to be a really fine player.” Obviously, experience was the main motivation behind Bryant’s growing role Saturday night; it’s likely that as the season progresses, Bryant will

receive even more time on the field with the impending graduation of Romine and Campbell. But Franks remains hopeful that Campbell’s best days are not in the past. “Bobby understands,” Franks said. “Bobby Campbell is a pretty bright guy. He knows that I’m glad he’s with us. He’s a valuable member of the team. He’ll have his opportunity before the season’s over with.” Notes: Defensive tackle Nate Krill and strong safety B.J. Hill are still out due to injury and Franks said that he would wait until later in the season to determine whether or not to redshirt them for the year... Wide receiver Kyle

Moore, who sprained his leg during the ECU game, is about “50-50” according to Franks and he remains questionable for the game at Northwestern this Saturday... While Mike Alberto, senior starting offensive tackle, won’t be knocked off the first team anytime soon, Franks was impressed Saturday night with freshman Drew Strojny, who will be seeing a lot of playing time in the future... Franks began yesterday’s press conference by noting the solid performance of long snapper Seth Carter, a true freshman from Oklahoma City, who snapped nine strong balls to punter Brian Morton against ECU.
