Board examines helicopter crash

Sweet 3- eat

� After a fatal Oct. 16 crash, the National Transportation Safety Board is looking into possible causes. The helicopter had undergone maintenance 3 days before the accident. By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

According to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board, the Duke Life Flight helicopter that crashed Oct. 16 had undergone a transmission overhaul just three days and 3.5 flight hours prior to the accident. And despite a warning light indicating low transmission oil pressure, a mechanic, employed by Corporate Jets, Inc. of Pittsburgh, cleared the helicopter for takeoff. “Due to past years of problems with this switch as known by [the mechanic! and the pilot, they made the decision t0... hover the helicopter, and if there were no other indications... and if the pilot felt comfortable... the pilot would fly it back to Duke Hospital,” With last night’s Subway Series-clinching 4-2 victory over the Mets, the New York Yankees won their third World Series title in as many years. With two outs in the top of the ninth, Luis Sojo hit a single off Mets starter Al Leiter, bringing home catcher Jorge Posada with the game-winning run. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who batted .409 in the five-game series and hit a solo home run last night, was named MVP. Mike Stanton got the win in last night’s game, pitching only one inning for the Yanks, and closer Mariano Rivera earned the save, shutting down the Mets in the ninth. See stories, pages 21 and 22

the report reads.

The mechanic reported that he saw the pilot turn off his landing light and take off, and witnesses reported seeing the helicopter flying at a low altitude and said they heard a “low-velocity thumping noise.” See HELICOPTER on page 12

Duke lawyer Duke axes PPS program in S. Africa files post-trial motions By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Now that the Mercer trial is over, Duke has asked the court to reverse its judgment or reduce the amount of punitive damages. ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

The University filed post-trial motions in the Heather Sue Mercer case Wednesday, asking the court to either reverse its judgment, mandate a new trial or reduce the amount ofthe $2 million in punitive damages. “There was no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to find for plaintiff on her Title IX claim or to find that punitive damages were warranted,” wrote John Simpson,

Duke’s attorney. The 20-page report refutes claims by Mercer that she was unfairly discriminated against, reiterating arguments made at trial that Mercer was not a good kicker and that she could not contribute to the team. Nearly half the written report was dedicated to a request for the damages to be reduced, if the court would not reverse the judgment or grant a new trial. Simpson wrote that the award violated Duke’s Fifth Amendment due process rights and See MERCER on page 10

After receiving complaints from the University of Capetown and Duke students, the University has decided to end its public policy-oriented studyabroad program in South Africa. The program, created last year, consisted of a three-person inaugural class. “I actually visited the program and after talking with people here and from South Africa..,, we came to the conclusion that it would be best to discontinue the program,” said Trinity College Assistant Dean Margaret Riley, director of study abroad. Riley was not director at the time ofthe program’s conception. The University will retain its South Africa Direct program, which is similar to the Duke in Capetown program but does not include a public

policy internship. Difficulties with the program’s internship component—which students described as poorly structured—ultimately caused the new program’s cancellation. Two of the program’s three participants left their internships prematurely. Because of the significant cost difference between the Duke in Capetown and the South Africa Direct Program, Duke retroactively gave a $1,500 compensatory stipend to the public policy program participants. Students pointed to poor administration by the University of Capetown’s internship coordinator as

House OKs spending bill, tax cuts

White House balks at partisanship and promises a veto for both measures tween congressional Republicans and the White House in Congress’ waning days. The votes in the House, which are expected to be mirrored in the Senate in the coming days, capped a day devoted to highly charged issues like taxes, health care, school construction, immigration and assisted suicide. The House’s action and the promised veto all but assure that, although the new fiscal year began 26 days ago, it will be several more days before Congress finally finishes work on all of the spending bills needed to fund government

By LIZETTE ALVAREZ and STEVEN HOLMES

N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON In the face of promised vetoes by President Bill Clinton and with the election only 12 days away, the House approved a $37.7 billion spending measure Thursday and a package of tax cuts and reimbursements to hospitals, nursing homes and health maintenance organizations.

The House passed the tax and health care reimbursement measures by a vote of 237-134 and approved the spending bill to finance the Commerce, Justice and State departments by a vote of 206-198. The votes set up a confrontation be-

operations.

“It’s particularly troubling at

this late stage in the budget process that Congress seems to prefer a path of partisanship to one where we could maybe find some

compromise,” said Jack Siewert, the White House press secretary. The tax package, estimated to cost about $240 billion over a 10year period, includes breaks for small business, health care, pension plans, school construction bonds and corporations. It also included a $1 increase over a two-year period in the minimum wage. The White House, however, strongly objected to the 1 tax breaks, saying they were skewed to well-to-do individuals and affluent school districts.

Some survived initial blast on Russian sub By MICHAEL WINES

N.Y. Times News Service

MOSCOW Trapped in the rear of a breached and sunken submarine on the Arctic seabed, the electricity failing, and facing all-but-certain death with 22 companions, Lt. Capt. Dimitry Kolesnikov, the commander of the turbine room on the Russian submarine Kursk, scrawled a message 10 weeks ago to what was then an unknowing outside world. “13:15,” he wrote, noting the military time. “All personnel from compartments six, seven and eight moved to the ninth. There are 23 of us here. We have made this decision as a result of the accident. None of us can get out.” Thursday the world finally heard Kolesnikov’s message after Russian divers recovered his remains from

the husk of the submarine, and the note was found stuffed in his pocket. The revelation that 23 ofthe Kursk’s 118 crewmen survived the sinking, at least for a while, triggered a sensation and demolished assurances by senior military officials that the Kursk’s entire crew most likely had perished within minutes ofthe accident. And it instantly reignited a national debate over whether the military’s attempt to rescue the sailors, widely denounced as botched, was fatally flawed as well. It also raised the prospect that divers would find more notes —perhaps containing evidence as to why the submarine exploded and sank—when and if bodies of other initial survivors are recovered. See

The Nobel Prize winners of 2000 have been announced, and the white-tie banquets and night-long dancing will begin Dec. 10. When the week of celebration is over, the revelers will disperse to labs and lecture halls across the world, with fond, indelible memories of their time in Sweden. “It’s the world’s best party,” said Robert Richardson, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1996 for his discovery of superfluid helium-3, joining the ranks of Albert Einstein and William Faulkner. Nobel Prizes are awarded every year in each of six categories: physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, peace

Smith—an

renowned world religions scholar, philosopher, documentarian and author—discussed just that when he spoke to an audience of more than 100 students and members of the Durham community in Page Auditorium. “This everyday world that we experience is not the whole story; there is another world that is greater than this one,” Smith said. He went on to discuss the clash between the views of science and those of the traditional religious world, and how the prevalence of science jeopardizes spirituality. “Have you ever been told of anything superior to ourselves? [Anything] more intelligent, more compassionate? No,” he said. “Science can show us only things less than we are. Looking to science to see if there is anything greater than us is like looking to dogs for discovering mathematics.” Smith also compared life to the interior of a cave and explained how the make-up of the cave parallels the basic elements of science. “Our everyday world is a light shadow on the walls of a cave,” he said. “The floor is Scientism—not science,

Former labor sec By MICHELE HAGEMAN The Chronicle

In a Tuesday afternoon speech, former Secretary of

Labor Lynn Martin lectured on the future of the American workforce. Martin, who served under President George Bush, focused on how the nation’s view of the workforce has evolved in the last century. During her time in office, Martin focused on women and minorities in the job market. She emphasized that it is impossible to address discrimination against the two groups as a single problem. “If you take away every gender issue that exists..., it would still not take care of the racial issues,” she said. She chose three different forms of discrimination that are often addressed in lawsuits; age, gender and race. After the audience guessed that race-based awards were usually the largest, Martin pointed out that cases involving age-based discrimination gamer the biggest awards, with race coming in second and gender last. “If the jury has a majority of women, it can be more difficult to win female discrimination lawsuits,” she said, explaining that older women cannot always sympathize with younger women if they appear in court wearing provocative clothing. Martin also spoke on the psychological differences between the generation of women after World War II and women today. She said that after the war, working women wanted to return to their homes and their husbands: ‘Tick, tick, it was time to have a baby.” Martin noted that, like other women of her generation, her initial expectation after college was to start a family. Marrying directly after graduating in the top of her class at the University ofIllinois in 1960, Martin gave birth to a child soon after. “How did I, being an intelligent individual, become so dumb after college?” she said. But the women of today, she said, have taken feminism to a relatively extreme level. “We’ve gotten past the idea that women can’t do it, but now we’ve assumed that we can do it alone,” she said. Martin ended her lecture, the first in the Duke

LYNN MARTIN, former secretary of state, spoke about the workforce yesterday. Medical Center’s Chancellor’s Lecture Series for 2000, by pointing out one issue that continues to bring light to that fact that men and women are perceived differently: When a diverse group of citizens were polled to see if they would ever vote for a woman for president, most said yes. Yet when they were asked about whether or not she would be able

to send Americans—perhaps her own children —to war, most felt that a female president would be unable to take control in such a situation. Those polled also felt that a woman would be unable to gain the respect in foreign relations necessary to promote the United States as a world power. Martin acknowledged that progress has been made, but she thinks that time and education can contribute to a more balanced system. “It will be a better life for us, but... remember that if we do this right we are making a better place for... all the parts of the world,” she said.

Nearly $6 million in federal funding has been earmarked to fund the project. “[lt’s] truly an economic revolution for eastern North Carolina,” said U.S. House Rep. Mike Mclntyre, D-N.C., whose district includes nine of the 21 counties. In the official announcement on Tuesday, Mclntyre praised the collaborative nature of the project, which represents a partnership between public and private interests. The funds, distributed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development division, will be

The system, with hubs in Kenansville and Goldsboro, N.C., is expected to be in place by March or April of next year. “We’ve been an example for all of rural America,” said Mclntyre, calling the $5.4 million loan and $539,000 grant the largest-ever subsidy for rural telecommunications.

Electoral College vote still uncertain as election draws near By RICHARD BERKE

N.Y. Times News Service

MILWAUKEE The roster of states that are competitive in the general election is actually expanding in the closing days of the presidential campaign, a marked departure from previous elections and one that has forced Gov. George W. Bush of Texas and Vice President A1 Gore to hustle around the nation even more than past nominees. The shift has transformed the campaign into more of a national election, with voters in several states enjoying much greater attention—and influence—than in the past. Many governors and party strategists said they could not remember an instance where the list of toss-up states actually grew this late in the season. The two campaigns are battling over 18 states; typically at this stage, the contest is down to well under a dozen. But with polls in so many states within the margin of error, the Bush and Gore operations are pumping resources and campaign time into states that they never expected to be in play. Most of the shifting is occurring in

traditionally Democratic turf. The Bush campaign has sought to wrest away states like Wisconsin, Minnesota and West Virginia, all of which went Democratic in the last three national elections. Democrats are making inroads in Florida, a state Republicans never expected they would have to vigorously defend. The ever-changing electoral puzzle has forced both sides to upend their closing game plans. Bush, sensing he can win Wisconsin, flew to Milwaukee Monday for a rally and is returning to the state Saturday. Gore popped up Thursday evening in Madison. And he added more stops in the state for Monday. “There’s just so much territory, too many places to visit,” said Gov. Gary Locke of Washington, a Democrat. “I wish for Gore that there were 48 hours in the day and it was daylight every hour of the day—and that he could survive on two minutes of sleep.” Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania, a Republican, who stumped in his state Thursday with Bush, put it this way: “I can’t imagine a race since 1960 where there were so many places in play. It’s pretty remarkable. Maybe it’s a sign

For the first time in its 84year history, Planned Parenthood has plunged into presidential politics, with a $7 million advertising campaign focused on women in seven close states. “I don’t want government in my private life, telling me what to do,” a woman says in one of the group’s television commercials. “And that’s why I have a problem with George W.

Gore has become an unswerving supporter of abortion rights, with the whole-hearted support of abortion rights groups. Although he opposed federal spending for abortions in his early years in Congress, he reversed his position after he entered the Senate and has supported such spending for many years. Anti-abortion forces assert he abandoned his principles because of his national ambitions, and one right-to-life essay recently called him “The poster boy for the abortion lobby.”

ond, because I have children, and I really want them to live here and to go to good schools.” Although the governmental funding was only recently announced, the company has been working with schools in the region for several years. So far, GSI has connected 140 schools in eastern North Carolina, including 15 in Duplin County, which is one of the 21 expected to receive aid through the funding. “We have 15 schools, we’re rural, and have highrisk students,” said Pam Godwin, director oftechnology for Duplin County Schools. “Everybody needs access for equity in instruction.” The Duplin County schools now have multiple ports in every classroom with e-mail access and an intranet for internal communication. The school system is also working to develop teleconferencing. Although El-Gamal was prepared to rely on financial backing from private sources, he said the government money will make it much easier to accomplish GSl’s goals. The company expects to earn “reasonable” profits on the project. “We expect to see some return, but we’re not looking to the short term,” El-Gamal said. “I want to bring eastern North Carolina up to speed, to make the people who live and work here more competitive.” To do this, GSI will begin by first targeting businesses—who have a more urgent need for high-speed access. GSI will continue working with schools, an area that El-Gamal described as “our strength.” With high-speed connections, students are able to access numerous online databases, including online indices of periodicals. “It’s a wonderful tool, with great possibilities.” Godwin said. “It gives access to wide resources to support the curriculum. This technology serves all learners.” The counties slated to receive this access are mainly along the coast; they include Edgecombe, Beaufort and Johnston counties. In related news, North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt named Dr. James Leutze chair of the North Carolina Rural Internet Access Commission earlier this month. Leutze is chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The commission gives advice on efforts to provide rural counties with broadband access.

DIVAKARUNI from page 5 For women, these private lives often reflect abuse, which she has worked toward tackling by ereating a helpline, called Maitri. The experiences she recounted were combinations of real-life situations and products ofher imagination; as a writer, she confessed, she had trouble distinguishing between actual memories and things that are imagined. Divakaruni said writing helps her to remember

the past and preserve a heritage not only for herself, but for her South Asian readers as well, Diya, along with several other University organizations, sponsored the speech event and book signing last night, As a writer, Divakaruni is always looking for new material. “Writers are great eavesdroppers. I am going to be doing a lot of eavesdropping while lam here at Duke,” she said. “Be careful what you say or you might end up in a novel.”

that precedent indicates that the damages are too high. “Here, the $2 million punitive damage award deprives Duke of fair notice ofthe punishment that it may be subjected to for violating the law and provides for no uniform general treatment under antidiscrimination laws...the motion read. “What the case boiled down to was that Mercer did not receive pads or get to dress out for games—actions that caused her no harm to speak of.” Duke attorneys cited the United States Supreme Court case, BMW ofN. Am., Inc. v. Gore, an instance in which the justices rejected an excessive punitive award. They also argued that the court has improperly informed the jury about punitive damage instruction and that Title IX does not allow for punitive damages. Simpson also argued that Duke was never made aware of Mercer’s complaints beforehand, citing previous cases requiring official and even repeated notification. ‘lndeed, Mercer herselfadmitted to the press that she was not accusing [then-head coach Fred Goldsmith] ofsexism,” the motion reads. Duke also contends that it did not act with reckless indifference, as the jury found, and claims that it did launch an investigation after being asked for a meeting between Mercer and Duke officials. John Burness, senior vice president for public relations at Duke, declined to comment on the prospect of an appeal until pre-trial motions had been heard. But he has said in the past that Duke does plan to appeal the decision and is confident that it will win. Burton Craige, Mercer’s attorney, could not be reached for comment.

Welcome to the life

Mikhail Motsak, who described the note from Kolesnikov, 27, whose rank would be comparable to a lieutenant in the American Navy. He was one of four sailors whose bodies have been retrieved

since recovery operations began Saturday. Motsak refused to release the entire message, which he said contained a “very private” farewell message to the captain’s family. But the excerpt printed by the semi-official Itar-Tass news agency, with its reference to 23 survivors offered a gripping, if brief glimpse of the situation aboard the doomed vessel as it lay 300 feet below the ocean surface. At a candle-lighting ceremony in Vidyayevo Thursday, the seaside village where most of the Kursk crew lived and raised families, the commander of the Russian navy,

Adm. Vladimir Kuroyedov, said the captain’s message began legibly, as if written in a lighted room. But by its end, he said, it was a nearly illegible scrawl in the dark, written, the note indicated, “by feel.” Motsak said the note also indicated that two or three crewmen tried to flee the submarine through a specially built escape hatch in the ninth compartment, where the survivors were gathered.

Students added that they were fearful of complaining to Duke, because such comments were usually forwarded directly back to their internship coordinator —who was also their professor at the University of Capetown. “[When one student complained,] it totally destroyed all of his credibility with the professor,” Clark said. “I knew I couldn’t trust the people at Duke.” Riley said administrators had expected some problems with the program, but

that more developed as the program continued. “Upon reflection, we probably acted too quickly in creating it,” said Riley. “It became evident that conflict within the [University of Capetown] was greater than we had anticipated.” While participants in the program agree that the internship was poorly administered, Clark said she is appreciative of her academic and classroom experience. “I was very disappointed at the beginning and very frustrated, but hav-

ing returned, I feel that I learned a lot,” she said. Despite the setback, administrators said they have begun looking at partnerships elsewhere. Riley said she has sent information to the University of Pretoria and will begin discussing the possibility of reopening the program there. Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson said he is dedicated to having a program in the region. “This was a new program and based upon our experience, we decided we needed to find a better

match,” said Thompson. “We’re trying to broaden the range of opportunities for students to study abroad. We do not want to focus on Western Europe.” Some students agreed with Thompson and addressed the need for more study abroad options. “A lot of Duke’s programs are in Europe, and as fulfilling and rewarding as those can be, there should be more opportunity for other programs elsewhere,” said senior Jason Ritchie.

Preliminary report indicates damage to gearbox HELICOPTER from page 1 About one minute after takeoff and 1.3 miles from its initial location at Alamance Regional Medical Center, the helicopter—a seven-year-old Euro-

copter Twinstar—crashed through some branches, hit the ground and burst into flames. Upon

inspection,

investigators

found damage to the gears in the combiner gearbox and discovered that the

transmission oil pump drive shaft was separated. Officials in the Medical Center would not comment on the findings Thursday, saying that doing so at this time would be inappropriate and purely speculative. A final report from the NTSB is due out in a year. Tracey Koepke, a spokesperson for the Medical Center, said although Duke owned the helicopter, Corporate Jets

was responsible for its maintenance. Officials from Corporate Jets said the mechanic is still an employee of the company, and they said they were unable to comment on the NTSB report because of a confidentiality agreement. Jeff Heffeman, director of safety at Corporate Jets, said the transmission overhaul was part of normal maintenance at Duke but declined to comment on the specifics. He said the company

has experienced just two other fatalities in 30 years but that the single accident did not involve a helicopter,

John Holland, the helicopter’s pilot, had landed at Alamance Regional Medical Center to pick up a patient. Upon landing, he called a mechanic and sent the rest of his crew and the patient to Duke via ground transport. He was 39 and worked at Duke, as an employee of Corporate Jets, for about five years.

been awarded the prize. “We would love to have at least one Nobel Prize winner on the faculty,” said William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences. “However [the award] is not the sole barometer of the quality of a university.” Indeed, US. News and World Report’s recent ranking of the nation’s universities made little mention of the number of Nobel Prize winners each had produced— perhaps because determining that number yields an approximation at best. The University of Chicago, for instance, claims 72 Nobel laureates as its own—counting all those who were students, faculty, or researchers at the university at any point during their careers. When measured in this inflationary fashion, the University’s tally rises to three: Richardson, Townes and Gertrude Elion—a former adjunct research professor of medicine and pharmacology who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1988. Other universities adopt more conservative means of measuring the number, counting only those who are

faculty or faculty emeriti among its Nobel Prize winners. If this method were used, Duke would have no Nobel Prize winners. Despite different means of counting laureates, one thing is for certain: No one ever fully employed by the University has won the Nobel Prize with research they have done at Duke.

Cardiology] Robert Lefkowitz should have won years ago, in my opinion.”

Although Snyderman and other administrators

agree that the lack of Nobel Prize winners is not detrimental to the University’s reputation, they acknowledge that having a faculty member win the award sometime in the near future would be a welcome turn of events. “Obviously the winning of a Nobel Prize is a sign of

Better prospects

Recent

administrative proposals to tweak admissions criteria and step up recruitment efforts will help Duke create a brighter student body with even more potential for success. Administrators have first proposed the addition of a component called “intellectual engagement” to existing admissions criteria. This new standard, although somewhat ambiguous, can be an excellent indicator of how students will perform and excel in a university environment. It is one thing to be naturally smart and get good grades, but it is another to truly enjoy learning. A real scholar will work through hard academic problems, create her own ideas and fully digest what she’s already been taught. In the long run, those who come to school to make the grades may falter, but those who come for the love of learning will prosper. These are the leaders of tomorrow—the students that are wanted here at Duke. Along these same lines, this new emphasis leads Duke in the direction of a truly enriching environment. Students often complain about the lack of intellectual discussion around Duke’s campus. This is not necessarily the fault of our present student body, but the addition of students with a flare for “intellectual engagement” can only be positive—these students are more likely do independent research, speak passionately in class and create academic debate of their own. Starting with only 50 to 100 students at a time—the change this policy would have had on the class of 2004—this policy may someday put some of students’ complaints to rest. It is a baby step, but a step in the right direction. Likewise, the committee’s second proposal—to increase recruitment efforts at schools in economically depressed areas—will give rise to an even better student body. It is wrong to say that only students from suburban, private or college prepatory schools are fit for Duke University. But by most vigorously seeking out these applicants as Duke does now, Duke is both lending this statement credence and destroying its chances at reaching out to some of the best students in this country. Intellectualism is not geographically determined, and Duke is not as well known as other universities of its merit—to compensate for this situation, Duke must take the initiative to find and claim these students. This committee—led by William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences—will release its formal report this winter; hopefully, these and other innovative policies to improve the student body will be given full consideration by the Board of Trustees, and will be implemented in the coming years.

Music Club Mayhem There always seemed to be something sinister about those "12 CDs for the price of 1!" deals. The Target Shoots First , showing tonight at the Center For Documentary Studies, details director Christopher Wilcha's experience as a marketing executive for Columbia House, the massive Sony/Time Warner "music club" venture that reels in members with free CD giveaways and its notorious "selection of the month." Told through Wilcha's rough handheld shots and deadpan voiceovers, the film shows his conflict as a punk fan whose consumer experience takes him to the upper echelons of a corporation that defies the punk rock ethos by its mere existence. His interview is mostly about the band Nirvana and their meteoric rise to stardom. And, as Wilcha admits, how Columbia House can package and sell them to the fullest. The camera goes everywhere in the company's harsh-lit world that Wilcha goes, from arguments with co-workers to the depressing Terra Haute, IN factory where the club makes its CDs. People are defined by what floor they inhabit, piled under with paperwork, repetitive stress injuries and mind-numbing institutional dejection. For the first half of the film, Wilcha seems fascinated but detached from the subliminal, routinized culture. Things start to unravel when Wilcha is forced to rewrite his ad copy for Nirvana's In Utero ; they get worse when he is assigned to head up the club's new "alternative music magazine," a catalog targeted at young consumers. Faced with an ever-increasing workload, he finds himself awash in cynicism as his punk rock ideals turn into successful marketing strategies. The film concludes in the aftermath of Kurt Cobain's suicide —an apt metaphor for Wilcha's own sense of being overwhelmed by corporate music culture. After the company tries to consult him on the best way to exploit Cobain’s death, he says that, "I stopped caring what or how things were being sold. They just returned to being for sale." Finally, he resigns. Ultimately, the film seems to suggest, when music becomes little more than marketing, the act of selling is an even greater evil than selling out. The Target Shoots First shows tonight at 7 and 9:3opm in the Center For Documentary Studies Auditorium. Wilcha will be available for a question and answer session after both viewings. —By Jonas Blank

THE

Replacement Rage When we heard about frontman Zack de la Rocha's retirement from Rage Against the Machine last week, we couldn't help but feel sorry for the raprocking revolutionary. After all, not many communists get the chance to spread their Marxist mumbo-jumbo to stadiumsized crowds on a regular basis. And adding insult to injury, the remaining members of Rage—the ones who put the "rock" in the "rap-rock" part of the combo—vow to "keep it loud, keep it funky and most definitely rock on," without Zack's help. But we all know the real reason people listen to Rage isn't for the catchy choruses and anthemic riffs —it's the politics, stupid. So, to avoid what de la Rocha's statement deemed the undermining of the band's "artistic and political ideal," Recess thought we'd suggest some political-minded replacements who might fit de la Rocha's Chiapas-loving mold. George P. Bush: Sure, he's a Republican, and his entire family are longtime proponents of the party of capitalism and capital punishment, but this attractive, well-loved Latino could bring some much-needed balance to RATM's Evil Empire-hating ticket. Louis Farrakhan: He's got the proper political pedigree—million-man marches, demands for justice—and the fiery personality for the job. Still, we fear his lyrical skills might be more George W. than Master R Ralph Nader: He's got no chance in hell of being president, but we'd sure hate to see him shrivel out of the limelight. Roger Clinton: He's already had a band, and he'd cervmtii tainly add some regional diversity and New Democrat gusto to the lineup. —By Jonas Blank § .

I Think I’m Old and Untalented Now I

Remember when you were a kid, tottering around the ikating rink on Friday night, trying to hold that special ‘omeone's hand without sweating all over them or missing step and falling on your face? Remember the popcorn smell and the clack clack clack of the more experienced skaters whizzing past as you ied to keep your head amid the whirl, wound tight by your passel of hormones? f you remember the soundtracks to those nights—replete with classics like New Kids on the Block's "Hangin' Tough" and the best of the Bangles and Bananarama you might still have a space in your heart for Tiffany, best known for the hit, "I Think We're Alone Now." While the popster may never have measured up to her closest competition—Debbie Gibson—she managed to cobble together quite a career, racking up several milion in record sales and an opening slot for the New Kids. But, as with so many teen pop icons, Tiff's racier third album tanked, leaving her to loan her voice to inauspicious endeavors like Jetsons: The Movie. She took time off, got married, had a kid and settled into Behind the Music obscurity. Now, with thr rink set turning all-too-rapidly into soccer moms, Tiffany is targeting her m album, The Color of Silence, at the more adult-contemporary set, with so Billboard magazine calls, "thoughtful, intelligent and full of grace." Or as ' bio puts it, "Tiffany's equivalent to Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Pill" While "I'm Not Sleeping," the first single, doesn't offer any veiled ences to movie theater fellatio, it's an enjoyable-enough foray into tl "hot AC" genre, with a gently canned guitar riff thrumming along w Tiffany's still-sugary voice and an unexpected backing vocal from Bo Thugs N' Harmony's Krayzie Bone. Her new tune may not deal with the harsh realities of "The First ofTha Month," but Tiffany's made th< oh-so-adult leap from teenage nookie to contemplative regret i rather respectably. In a climate where Madonna's umpteenth album is still charting and even Motley Crue still has a career, it's anyone's guess whether audiences will embrace Tiffany's comeback. But at least, for now, she's got the upper hand on Debbie Gibson. )

Masqu Moby brings his kind of costume ball to the Ritz in Raleigh this Halloween Night. By Robert Kelley

Tuesday

night, Franklin Street will be bustling with ghastly goblins, dreadful vampires, pretty princesses and sexy catwomen. And in Raleigh, thousands will gather to watch a bald little vegan Christian. Which city will be more frightening? Moby's Halloween concert at Raleigh's Ritz will feature phatter beats than anything you'll find going on at that school down the road. Coming off a year of unsurpassed critical acclaim, America's favorite direct descendant of Herman Melville will bring the live version of his Grammy-winning CD, Play, to the Triangle, with a few surprises to keep everybody in suspense. Only people who spent the last year living in either a cave or in a bomb shelter in Chechnya could possibly have avoided at least a few tracks from Play. "Bodyrock" ruled the dancefloors throughout the summer, and "Natural Blues" brought Moby to the airwaves, not to mention his übiquitous presence in half the commercials on television. Play received well-deserved praise for its incorporation of folk music historian Alan Lomax's collection of early 20th century vocal recordings into Moby's driving electronic oeuvre. The raw emotional power of that blend of the modern but often impersonal sound of electronic music

with the ragged, soulful voices from the past elevated Moby above the masses of electronic artists. But because he's still a single man fronting a bank of keyboards, Moby has found some difficulty in translating the sincerity of the CD to his live show. To compensate, he has added English vocalist Dianne Charlemagne to animate the songs that rely on the antique vocal samples. Moby's live shows are notorious for his spastic stage presence, where he overcomes the shyness or elitism that keeps most DJs behind the turntables. He aspires to bring the excitement of a rock show to electronic shows that many fans only enjoy under the influence of some drug or another. With his visceral, flailing intensity, he succeeds admirably. Sadly, Moby shows often attract drugged-out Hollywood celebrities who wouldn't know a good CD from their own washed-up careers. Moby struggles with his artistic credibility and his music's appearance in various television commercials, vacillating between his status as an earnest electronic composer and techno music guru to the stars. Luckily, we don't have too many stars in this neck of the woods, so we should see Moby playing only to those elements that made him great in the first place. □

At the Drive-In Relationship of Command This is the sound of the screws turning in your skull. This is the sound of a vintage Pontiac GTO hitting a brick wall in the middle of an action flick. At the Drive-In sound like the unholy marriage of Rage Against the Machine and Fugazi being battered about in a police chase. Not only are they the media's latest darlings, but they'll definitely make most people's ears bleed. This isn't for everyone, but those who are willing to take the risk will be rewarded.

Roni Size Represents

Outkast’s fourth album stays fresh. By Brian Washington

rhroughout

Roni Size and Reprazent are back with another UK masterpiece, initially, this release gave some cause for skepticism. While he’s one of the best junglists around, the main problem with the genre is that almost everything exciting that could be done, has been. Size’s 1997 release, New Forms, made a wonderful chill-out album or billowing club album, but it got a bit excessive at times. In the Mode picks up where that album left off, adding a much stronger hip-hop

the history of recorded music, it's been normal for musicians to become artistically stagnant or incapable of embracing innovation after a few albums. In the ultra-breakneck evolution of hip-hop, there's a strong trend toward safety and an apprehensiveness to push boundaries that quickly turns former rap dignitaries into has-beens and can turn today's most heralded superstar into tomorrow's most forgotten relic.

Well, Outkast have never had any problems with innovation. In fact, they have virtually reinvented themselves at every turn. The next chapter in their ever-evolving eclecticism is the forthcoming Stankonia, a near-brilliant assertion of creativity and expressive freedom. The single, "B.O.B." (Bombs Over Baghdad), is the complete antithesis of a radio-friendly single. This frenetically paced techno/metal/jungle/hip-hop hybrid is the absolute last thing you'd expect to hear from an established group, but it's still a guaranteed smash hit. This is the recurring theme throughout Stankonia—strikingly bold musical experiments that are actually pulled off. Unlike Outkast's three previous efforts, there is no single overriding sound to Stankonia. Yet, shockingly, the album's sound still seems cohesive. From the neo-electro vibe of “Red Velvet" to the wailing guitars of "Gasoline Dreams'' and the Prince inspired "Ms. Jackson," the only aural similarity between each of these tunes is the listener's eventual sonic satisfaction. Furthermore, all the songs are produced with live instrumentation, raising the bar for future hiphop competitors. Outkast get political on this album, too. Addressing the failure of hope in America, the chorus to the track "Gasoline Dreams" rants, "Don't everybody like the smell of gasoburn American dreams/The highway up to heaven got a line?/Well burn motherf truck on the tow/You full of fire and got nowhere go." Despite the many successes on Stankonia, a handful of tunes restrict the album from reaching the classic status of its predecessor, Aquemini. "Cal! Before I Come" sounds more like the corny score to a Game Boy cartridge than a viable hip-hop track. It's simply the worst song Outkast has ever created. The boring "Snappin &Trappin" has absolutely no place on an album this artistically powerful. On an album with only 12 songs, even such sparse mistakes detract from the whole. Despite the minor setbacks, Stankonia is an innovative, inspiring success that will have other artists rethinking their approach to hip-hop music. Now isn't that what artistic expression is really about? □

abound, with Method Man, Rahzel A and former Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha lending their vocals. Nearly every track features a male vocalist, and the lyrics are actually quite good (well beyond the standard of what most MCs contribute to jungle-complete drivel).

A Triangle-based group called Forty Acres brings the concert experience to the living room. And this Saturday’s show with Tift Merritt and The Carbines will show why it’s such a good idea. trip away the strobe lights, the stench of beer and cigarettes, the rickety stage, the sweaty crush at the bar and the waves upon waves of noise. Silence the crowd, turn up the house lights and sit down. What would a concert be? There'd be nothing left but the music, distilled to its essence, and the artists behind it, staring at a chorus of faces eager for the next song. It could all be happening on your back porch. It could all be happening in your living room. Triangle-based Forty Acres won't bring live music to your living room, but they have managed to bring it to some of their own. Since late 1998, the tight-knit group of roots music enthusiasts has staged intimate, allacoustic "house concerts" using the generously-sized living rooms of two local homes. Using little other than word-of-mouth publicity and their enthusiasm for the music, the group has drawn artists from Jonas around the country and recognition from such prestigious sources as the roots music Bible No Depression and The New York Times. And this Saturday's show at Durham's Pine Hill Farm, featuring Chapel Hill's own Tift Merritt &The Carbines, should prove the group worthy of its accolades. The first Triangle house concerts began in 1997, when WXDU DJ Steve Gardner decided to mimic the house concerts he used to frequent during his days in the San Francisco Bay Area. After finding a house with a large enough living room and putting on a few successful shows, Gardner formed the seven-member committee that makes up Forty Acres in 1998. ''l heard about the concerts and I got involved by volunteering at the shows," said committee member John Shadle, Trinity '9B, a Paducah, KY native who cultivated his love for the music among like-minded fans at Duke. Shadle and the rest of the Forty Acres board have one goal—to promote roots music in the Triangle, using the group's selfconsciously non-profit status to pay bands more generously. Advertising consists mainly of the group's e-mail list, website (www.fortyacres.org) and well-placed flyers at local record stores and venues. In the past two years, Forty Acres has feaNATIONWIDE ROOTS: The Carbines have toured tured national artists such as Robbie Fulks across the country, including Nashville & Atlanta and Alejandro Escovedo as well as local

acts likeThe

Carolina Stompers and 80year old fiddler Joe Thompson from nearby

Mebane. Even former

Smithereens lead singer Pat DiNizio stopped by for an unexpectedly amplified encounter.

Still, the group's focus remains on music with a twang. "Roots music is something that tells you a story," Shadle said. "It's DON'T GET IN A TIFT: If you can't catch The Carbines anytime soon, the original counyou can probably see Tift Merritt at one of her many solo shows. try sound: simple harmonies, pedal steel, acoustic guitar, bass and a drum." Influenced by country pioneers like George Jones, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and even the ragged folk of Neil Young in the early 70s, the most popular of today's roots genres is probably alternative country, or alt.country. From the more rocking sound of bands like Wilco to the countrified twang of BRS-49 and solo artists like Richard Buckner, alt.country is united by a commitment to a stripped-down, unpretentious sound based on direct lyrics and simple song structures. No hyper production values, no keyboards, no recycled rock riffs—the ShaniaTwains and Travis Tritts of the world need not apply. "It works best in an unamplified room," Shadle said. "It's music that wasn't meant to be listened to with the amps turned up to 10." Unlike Nashville's stadium spectacles, this music thrives on intimacy between an artist and their audience. A Forty Acres show has the perfect atmosphere for that type of interaction. The artists sit at the center of the living room with their instruments —no amps, no stage, no lights—with the crowd forming a semicircle of folding chairs around them, listening respectfully. All shows are BYOB, and smoking is not allowed inside. Snacks are often provided free of charge, along with a home-cooked meal for the band. Between-song banter is at a maximum, with artists taking the time to tell their audiences the stories behind their music.

ALL GUNS FIRING; The Carbines are an increasingly performance-driven band, with a tight, engaging live set that gives Merritt's amazing voice the proper backdrop.

"Most of the really good shows involve someone who talks to the crowd, who really gets into bringing the music to them, explaining songs to them, getting involved with audience participation," Shadle said. "The artists think it's a special place to play.... It's totally quiet—you could hear a pin drop." "It's absolutely amazing," said Tift Merritt, whose performance this Saturday marks her band's second Forty Acres show. "It's great because it feels so intimate and homey.... The folks that come to shows like that are fans in the most intimate sense of the word." The Carbines' music exemplifies the best of the modem country movement Merritt's voice, often compared to Patsy Cline, sounds classic beyond her experience, and the band shows exceptionally tight showmanship. Merritt displays the raw talent of a natural in concert, combined with an ever-increasing poise and grace that suggest a much longer career ahead. The Carbines formally began in 1998 at UNC-Chapel Hill, when Merritt and drummer (and now boyfriend) Zeke Hutchins began performing at local venues. They soon added pedal steel player Greg Readling and his friend, bassist Jay Brown. Since then, the band's local following —and national recognition —has exploded, turning Merritt and her band into a huge draw at venues like the Local 506 and Cat's Cradle. And while their recorded output is small—scarcely more than a handful of seven-inch singles and a compilation appearance—what there is has been well-received, including a New York Times mention of Merritt's guest appearance on an EP of country duets with Durham's Two Dollar Pistols. Hoping to expand on that success, the band has been in the studio since last Thursday working on a demo to shop to record labels; several have shown interest. Tift Merritt flusters a bit when asked to describe her sound. "I have a cereal box of things say when get asked this question.... like to think of it as Bob Dylan meets Dolly Parton. would say definitely do something very similar to country... definitely roots music, not what you hear on the radio." She sighs. "Country is the simplest way to describe it. As a Raleigh native, Merritt isn't from the hillbilly environment many might expect for a country artist. Growing up listening to Bob Dylans Blonde on Blonde and records by Joni Mitchell and Emmylou Harris, she's the first to admit that nobody came along and handed her the perfect country music pedigree. That concept, she says, doesnt even exist. "Nobody puts a stack of straight country records in your hand and says, 'This is what you should listen to,"' she said. wish they had.... [But] don t think that if you drive out into the middle of nowhere youd suddenly say, This is where country music is coming from.' People do roots music everywhere. Still, Merritt credits her southern roots with influencing her highly personal, narrative writing style. Growing up in a southern family her dad is from Texas and her mother is from North Carolina that told stories and celebrated southern culture, Merritt found the inspiration and perhaps that perfect tone, the earnest, open writers' conscience that shines through in her music. "They're one of my favorite groups around, said Shadle about Tift Merritt and The Carbines. "They've all gotten more comfortable onstage, but you can tell that they're people, too. If people have this feeling that [a band is) accessible, its makes them that much easier to love. Another special thing about Tift is that shes an excellent songwriter. Her lyrics

coupled with her voice live are an amazing experience." While Chapel Hill may have been known in the past as a bastion of indie-rock snobbery, the town was quick to embrace The Carbines in 1998. "It's hard to beat playing around here," Merritt said, "We love our hometown. I think before I lived in Chapel Hill, I'd go, 'Oh, God, they'll hate me.' But you have to remember, people in Chapel Hill love music, and it isn't that they love one record or one band." Maybe not, but The Carbines have become one of the bands that Chapel Hill loves the most. As the early-90s rock scene built around nowdefunct acts like Polvo and Archers of Loaf wanes, a thriving roots music scene has moved in, standing shoulderto-shoulder with independent rock in what is still one of the most exciting and music-obsessed small-town scenes in the nation. Indeed, Merritt and her band enjoy some stellar local contemporaries, with bands like Whiskeytown, The Two Dollar Pistols, Trailer Bride, the Backsliders and the Tremblers sharing an ever-increasing variety of local stages. Along with roots music's increased prominence in Chapel Hill, roots-centered venues such as Boo's Hideaway and the private Lakeside Lounge have sprung up in Raleigh. And while Forty Acres are the recognized pioneers in the art, other groups such as The Bull City Cosmic Hoedown and even some private individuals have begun their own series of house concerts. Forty Acres' web site even includes a guide, written by Gardner, on how to put on your own home concert. The demand for an intimate roots music environment—as Forty Acres' frequent sellout crowds and burgeoning mailing list attest—is growing, the potential not yet realized. And although corporate-sponsored stadium shows and bigtime arena antics aren't likely to go the way of the tie-dye anytime soon, Forty Acres still reminds music fans that somewhere, there's something authentic going on. As for Tift Merritt, she's keeping mum about any surprises she might have in store for Saturday's audience. But armed

with some new songs—including two "really good ones" that she and the band plan to play —Tift Merritt and The Carbines will undoubtedly impress their living room audience. "The people at this show are special; they are really friends and supporters," she said. "I feel like it's gonna be a big Thanksgiving dinner." And that's one family gathering it would be a shame to miss. The Carbines appear this Saturday at Pine Hill Farm in Durham at Bpm.

With a brand new album (They Don't Even KnoW), a slew of impending nominations from the Contemporary Acapella Society of America and a much-anticipated tour in the Midwest, the Pitchforks are riding high as they approach the group's 21st birthday. And while most Duke students might think of this Saturday night's Acapellooza as a big gig for the 12-person ensemble, the Pitchforks have their sights set a little higher this year—lndiana. "A group at the University of Indiana... decided to put together the best nine male a capella groups in the country," explains music director Seth Weitberg. "It's called the Big Men on Campus concert....

After all, how can a pack of fifteen frat boys effortlessly pull on matching khakis and ties, smile and think women will all just melt? And what about the supposed rivalry with The Pitchforks? Turns out it's lies, all lies—almost. The group does plan a dress code before every concert. They own up to "bad blood (with the Pitchforks] in the past," but are quick to acknowledge the mutual respect between groups. "And we've never staged anything," says music director Dave Widders, commenting on girls' tendency to throw thongs after a set. "They just kind of do it. guess we have groupies, but we don't ask for it.... It's funny." Okay, and what about those cheesy smiles? The group says that the grins are genuine.

But if you don't want to schlep all the way to Indiana for your taste of the 'Forks, you could show up in Baldwin Auditorium this Saturday for Acapellooza. Besides hearing some new material, including the fully choreographed version of NSync's "It's Gonna Be Me," audiences will get a dose of the Pitchfork's trademark sense of humor. Smart and sarcastic, the group's past skits have included random adventures of a Super-FAC (complete with a light-saber battle) and How-To-Avoid-Last-Night's-Stand-On-The-Path. With their lighthearted attitude, it's easy to forget that these boys work hard. "We rehearse for at least five hours a week," says senior Flynn Barrison. "We have to depend on each other. That's how this works." The group's intimacy is obvious. Besides overlapping each other's sentences during interviews, private jokes abound, and a sense of trust permeates the rehearsal process. "I think people just assume that we all live together," said Weitberg. "We don't, really. But we are all really good friends. We like hanging out together; we couldn't work so well together if we didn't." Sophomore Tom Clifton agrees: "Friendship translates into performance quality," he said. "You come forth, and you're singing in front of everyone, and it's not like they're judging you, and you're not nervous, like you could be. You're getting support from each other." And from their audience, the Pitchforks can always expect a packed house of screaming fans just waiting for the next move of Duke's oldest male a capella group.

Auditions are held every fall, and the group looks for more than musical prowess. "Personality is a big part of the group," says Horowitz, moments before launching into an impressive impression of Marvin the Martian, Widders imitates Kermit the Frog before explaining, "We hang out a lot, travel a lot, so it's important that we all get along.

First, they've got to show 10 years' worth of Speak members how far the group has come at an upcoming alumni concert that invites a decade of singers back to the stage. And in March, they're hostW ing the semifinals of the National Iff Collegiate Acapella Association in Baldwin. Last year, Speak of the Devil came in third.This year, the group is out to win. To do it, they'll have to show off their diverse range, as displayed on their current CD, If You Sing It, They Will Come. The compilation boasts a full range of bubbly crowd pleasers (an irrepressible version of the NSync's "Tearin' Up My Heart") to addictive, mellow fare (like their put-it-onrepeat version of U2's "With or Without You"). There's also a textured take on Pat McGee's "Walking in Memphis" and a languid, layered "House of Stone and Light." Another CD is planned for the spring.

Pay It Forward finds Kevin Spacey schlepping valiantly through yet another bad movie.

®ne

good turn deserves another —or so goes the nascent idealism on which Pay It Forward is built. The movie is beautiful, poignant and sadly relevant in these dog-eat-dog days of rampant selfishness. It's also sappy. The sap is delivered by a disfigured teacher (Kevin Spacey), an alcoholic single mother (Helen Hunt) and an enormously cute kid (Haley Joel Osment) who verges on saccharine. Osment plays Trevor McKinney, who takes his seventh grade social studies assignment —a charge to change the world—and plots a pyramid scheme of good will that first leads him to befriending a bum. in the first 20 minutes the movie's albatross is clear: While a beautiful idea may drive the plot, director Mimi Leder steers it to only the most expected places. Despite its earnest theme and exceptional acting, Pay It Forward is hamstrung by a weak screenplay that mires its characters in hackneyed roles and weak transformation While the film still elicits expert performances from Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joe Osment, those hoping for something of the caliber of American Beauty, As Good As It Gets or The Sixth Sense, will be disappointed. This is not to say the film isn't engaging or capable of pathos, but it's the strong showing from the Oscar nominees and not the plot that's —-

likely to elicit tears. Audiences will connect with Mr. Simonet not because he's strikingly similar to Mel Gibson in Man Without a Face, but because he's played by Kevin Spacey and played well. Haley Joel Osment's character succeeds not because he's pulling the match-making plot that movie kids are always hatching, but because he does it with the hopeful wide eyes and naked emotion of an idealistic child. The screenplay itself provides only an insipid palette of middle American characters and the movie suffers for it, despite stellar efforts from the actors. As for the secondary characters, their acting is still solid, but in roles even more canned than those of the headliners.The bum (James Caviezel) makes periodic appearances to remind us that bums have hearts of g01d... and drug habits. The most prominent black character is in prison, manages to pull a gun in a hospital and is—as good racial profiling would have it—a Crip. The Latino characters come in the form of school bullies who beat up small blond kids and carry knives. For its pretense of goodwill toward men, Pay It Forward spares no stereotype for a distressingly predictable supporting cast. As a sum of its parts —three of them being Spacey, Hunt and Osment this film is not bad. If audiences can swallow the sap, a few people might even hold doors open for each other on the way out. But despite a soundtrack eerily similar to that of American Beauty, Pay It Forward's ring remains mostly hollow. □ —

Bedazzled

Fraser be an A-list actor when, aside from Gods and Monsters, the best thing he's ever done is Encino Man? You know a movie is struggling when you find your;elf recalling the Golden Age of uly Shore with fondness.

DIR! HAROLD RAMIS. WITH: BRENDAN FRASER, ELIZABETH

Time to open up the gates of movie hell and Bedazzled to the unholy level of piss-poor sen comedy. There's nothing like high-concept lowl Hollywood dreck to spoil literature like Faustiai end. Inexplicably remade from the 1967 come' pairing Dudley Moore as a random schmuck with Peter Cook as the Devil, this unfortunate update gives those respective roles to Brenda Fraser and the mildly attractive Elizabeth Murk Okay, so she's really attractive, but there's no ing else pretty about this hellhole. A reasonable plot synopsis begins and ends like this: "Goofball Elliot Richards has seven wishes to get a girl before an eternity in Hell." Apparently, Satan makes deals like this all the time—how else could Brendan

exploiting Elliot's empty, masculine desires. But this script doesn't burden itself with the task of originality (Ha! Elliot's a drug lord. Ha! Elliot is a basketball player. Ha! Elliot is Abe Lincoln) that could uncover potential payloads in the darkly comic depths of male fantasy. Hurley meets GRADE: expectations as an actress (which says m next to nothing), coming close at points to bringing humor to the feminine Beelzebub through her sexual manipulation, mood swings and insecurity in her estranged relationship with God. But Satan is still best played as over-the-top hammy or ominously restrained, not Cover Girl catty. It's surprising that Harold Ramis would direct what seems like a montage of beer commercials. In fact, watching 90 minutes of beer ads probably yields more laughs than this hellishly weak effort. —By Greg Bloom

Recess correspondent Dion Warrick chats with junglist Dieselboy about college, music and more. Are you surprised at being interviewed by a college paper? I went to school at this place called Burton like years ago and I remember what it's like to be in college, so for me [it was weird when] they were like, "You're going to be interviewed by a college." Don't get me wrong, it's c 001... but for me it's strange cause I'm used to getting interviewed by like a techno mag. I went to college and no one ever wrote jack s— about music or the scene. Back in the day, when was deejaying and working at the same time, I got caught up in the rave scene. I was mostly raving, not deejaying as much and, you know, it's hard to stay up with classes. 1 just hated school. It sucks. But you'll eventually finish it, and then you get out here—the real world—and you're like "Finally." It took me five and a half years. I had to go part time for like a year.... It's more important to get by in school than in deejaying. For me, I set my bar low and said, "You know what? I just want to f—n' graduate and then get my degree, I don't care about a 4.0 or a 3.0 GPA." 1 wanted to get my degree and that's it. I tried to avoid classes with lots of papers. What do you think of the UK vs US conflict, or do you think that the jungle scene doesn't have that? We each have our own scene. Since drum and bass was born in the UK, there will always be comparisons to the original [British] productions. As far as deejaying goes, the UK guys usually only have one jump on us, and that is access to newer tunes. Skill-wise, we can give all of them a serious run for the money. Yeah, like the new Rob Zombie album. He uses the amen break on that album. Oh does he? I've actually been approached by Orgy—they apparently are fans. They want to collaborate on a few tracks 'cause they want to combine their sound with drum and bass. Their single actually is a remix with Technical Itch called "Opticon',' and so they want to work with me. What do think about traveling? Do you have a place you call home? I'm actually kind of traveling too much. For the last two weeks I was home for less than 40 hours. Back in the day, I didn't travel much, and I had the occasional hotel room and the occasional flight. It's like eating a really good steak once in a while—it's really phat. But when you start eating it like four or five times a week, the novelty wears off. Deejaying is great and playing is fun, but catching planes all the time, dealing with flight delays, sitting in the airport, having problems with the hotel... it's like, I'd rather be sitting in my own house watching my own TV instead of in some f—g hotel room with some cheap-ass polyestei-style bed cover watching my five channels, which are probably all sports and news. I don't get much time to hang with my friends back in Philly. I have had to whittle my social circle down to about three friends. If I'm home one day a week, and I try to hang with my group of friends and my girlfriend, I can't have a lot of friends 'cause everyone will feel like I'm blowing them off. I'm only hanging with each person like once a month as it is. Traveling just sucks. So who are you voting for? Nader. I don't think he's going to win, but he definitely is the alternative choice. I think the majority will vote for Bush or Gore, but people will

see Nader made an impact and it will affect things down the road, and peopie are going to look at || Green party candidates or alternative jr M party candidates as a choice in the future. i What about the opposition that the rave scene : y-i. faces in being able to throw parI ties or rent ; venues? Would you like to see that I;§ change? First off, don't . \ think that nothing I ?

;£j|,

}

bad happens at | / these parties. |f have seen some things at par• ties that, if I was a normal person, I would be terrified by, like crackhead kids doing crackhead I think when it comes to drum and bass, I feel like 1 get pretty political 'cause I have strong feelings, especially since I'm so involved in it. 1 think the rave scene needs to continue heading towards the 18 and up thing because I think a lot of the problems the scene experiences are due to the fact that you have a lot of underage kids coming to parties. Their parents are bugging out and calling the cops and complaining. When you watch 20/20 and they show people doing drugs on camera, they're not adults —they're underage kids. I don't think it's as scandalous for adults. The scene needs to stay on the path to the age limit thing to steer it into clear waters. If it doesn't, then the scene will have some serious problems and the government will begin to crack down.... You can't ask little kids to be responsible. Things need to start changing or the scene will be in some serious trouble. Life as a DJ must be great. I actually just got a box of DC shoes. I actually just got a bunch of pairs. They send me all this s— that doesn't fit, and I don't rave it out anymore as far as clothes go. It's just not practical to wear baggy stuff. I want to be treated like normal people. You show up at the airport and you're raved out—and I'm 28 —and people look at you and treat you like you're 10 years old. It's something I don't wanna deal with. I would never expect the Pittsburgh scene to be so cool. It was cool. It was 5ma11.... [Two] original guys who threw the parties cut me into the scene—Billy Buddha, who controlled the weird situations who is American and still plays in Colorado, [and] the other guy, he came from nowhere from England. He used to play old school breaks They were basically the party people, and Buddha made sure and hardcore techno and early jungle were always represented at those parties. I think that was g00d... and from that scene others started to grow. The were a lot of cities that grew up on house music, and it's pretty closed when it comes to what type of music people are into. Pittsburgh had such wide-range exposure to all different kinds of music, including the hard s—, that they're much more open-minded to music. So when I play there, I just play whatever I want and never have to worry about playing what I like. It's cool, it's a tight scene. □

The Weathervane is a delightful southern culinary experience. By Heidi Pauken very Parents Weekend, Duke students scramble to show their folk //n something unique. And every Parents' Weekend, we shop and we ea t n °t 30 special. This year, when your parents say, "So, what a> we going to do today?" steer them towards A Southern Season. At this store/restaurant combo, you can shop and eat in Southern gourmet style A Southern Season, and the store's sister restaurant, The Weathervane Cafe, has come a long way since owner Michael Barefoot launched his first shop in 1975. With top-notch products, a helpful staff and quality cuisine, it is no surprise that A Southern Season has garnered national acclaim. While gourmet culture may seem snobby, A Southern Season ?gx., strikes a pleasant balance between southern comfort and gustatory grandeur. The market does offer every olive this side of the Mediterranean, but it also has a candy department that will remind you just how fun bandage-shaped bubble gum can be. Even better are the samples—far from merely yesterday's cracker crumbs, you can scavenge a whole meal walking the aisles. For those who would rather consume gourmet food than cook it, The Weathervane Cafe does not disappoint. Connected to the store, the restaurant offers brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert under the skilled direction of executive chef Devon Mills. All aspects of the restaurant aim toward the store's original refined-meets-rustic theme. The Weathervane's menu is both Southern and seasonal. New items appear every two weeks, and often elevate traditional dishes to gourmet status. Once again, haute cuisine need not imply confusion —the wait staff gladly explains ingredients upon request. On my last visit, one waitress taught a whole lesson —

For a more regional taste, shrimp, beer and green onion beignets. Joined with a tangy l.ermilk sauce, these lightly fried puffs melt in the mouth, n fact, every appetizer, soup and salad I tasted was an edient-packed success. Entrees tend toward basics like >n, fish, meat and pasta, but never without a twist. Pork . pairs with homemade applesauce; asparagus and pesto fill the lasagna. Still, the Weathervane would do well to watch the overuse of seasoning—my grilled salmon fillet was fresh and buttery, but I could barely taste the fish with a bite of the olive-heavy roasted vegetable orzo below. Still, a dessert like the chocolate mousse torte can make sure all is forgiven. The Weathervane bakes all desserts and breads in-house, and diners shouldn't depart without at least one treat.

One of the most distinctive of Mexico’s many holidays is the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Drawing from Aztec and Christian traditions, folk culture, and the enthusiasm of the arts community (Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo were big fans) the Day of the Dead is a time to honor deceased relatives, satirize the living, and entice the spirits to visit with flowerdeckedaltars and offerings of food. We invite you to join us in celebrating this special occasion at the Center for North American Studies on Sunday, October 29, from 6-8 p.m. 2016 Campus Drive Duke University Durham, NC Phone 681-2726 for more information and/or directions. There will be lots of folk art from Mexico on display, sugar skulls, flowers and Candles. We'll offer beverages and “Bread of the Dead" to try. You are welcome to bring a photo or other memento of someone you wish to remember. Families and members of the community are invited to participate in an event that is at once serious and amusing, traditional and creative a uniquely Mexican contribution to world culture.

Sojo Yanks 4-2 Game 5 win late in 9th By BEN WALKER Associated Press

Yankees 4 NEW YORK Best in their own Mets 2 back yard, best in all of baseball. The New York Yankees, thought to be too old and too banged up to make it this far, became the first team in more than a quarter-century to win three straight World Series championships, beating the New York Mets 4-2 last night. Luis Sojo, one of many midseason pickups, hit a two-out, tiebreaking single off A1 Leiter in the ninth inning to decide Game 5, stunning a Shea Stadium crowd that was sure there was more baseball left in this Subway Series. Derek Jeter homered and was the MVP after batting .409, earning his fourth ring at only 26. Meanwhile, it turned out to be a short ride for New Yorkers who had waited 44 years to see another one of these. ‘The Mets are, in my opinion, the best team we’ve played in my years here,” Jeter said.

The Yankees quickly matched the Oakland Athletics’ three in a row from 1972-1974, and won their fourth title in five years. jeff haynes/afp photos Only two other runs in baseball history can compare—Joe YANKEE JORGE POSADA comes face to face with a speeding baseball as he slides into home and right into Mets catchSee YANKS on page 26 er Mike Piazza to score the game-winning run. >

Leiter couldn’t manage heavy lifting for Valentine’s Mets By JOSH DUBOW

Bobby Valentine put the NEW YORK New York Mets’ season in A1 Leiter’s hands. And for 26 outs and 141 pitches, Leiter did his best to prolong it. But Valentine’s workhorse finally wore down in the ninth inning, giving up two runs as the Mets lost 4-2 to the Yankees on Thursday night and were beaten in the World Series in five games. “When it’s all said and done, there’s going to be a certain amount of frustration knowing I couldn’t get the third out in the ninth inning,” Leiter said. “But I know this is as good a performance as I could have given. I gave it all I had.” Valentine has as much faith in Leiter as in any other pitcher on his staff. He showed that by sending Leiter back out for the ninth inning after throwing 121 pitches. “I thought he was in control,” Valentine said. “He said he felt good after the eighth. It was Al’s game.” Leiter didn’t appear tired, striking outTino Martinez and Paul O’Neill to open the inning, giving him nine strikeouts on the night. “It made me think he had plenty left,”

be playing.” Luis Sojo hit the next pitch into center field, scoring Posada, and Brosius came around when Jay Payton’s throw deflected off Posada and into the Mets’ dugout. “I think [Valentine] made the right choice,” Yankees manager Joe Torre said. “That’s an emotional choice that nobody should second guess.” That was all for Leiter, who went back to the dugout and sat dejectedly with his head hanging. He had done his best, yet it wasn’t enough. “It was the most emotional I’ve ever felt,” he said. Leiter remained winless in 11 postseason starts, as his run of tough luck continued. Armando Benitez blew a win for Leiter in Game I—the1 —the third time this month the Mets’ bullpen has cost him a victory. “He’s our bulldog,” Payton said. “He left every thing he had out there on the field tonight. I just feel bad we didn’t get some more runs for him.” And a season that began seven months ago in Japan was about to come to an end. The Mets couldn’t overcome Atlanta in the regular season, but made the playoffs as the wild card and knocked off San Francisco and St. Louis—the top two teams in the league—to reach the World Series. While they were the best team in the NL, they weren’t able to be the best team in their

Valentine said. But he couldn’t get a third strike past Jorge Posada, who fouled off three two-strike pitches before drawing a walk. “I really thought I had him struck out,” Leiter said. “But he battled.”

AL LEITER, on the mound consulting with Todd Zeile in the midst of a 2-2 stalemate with the Yankees, couldn’t muster the win for the Mets.

It seemed harmless enough until Scott Brosius lined a 1-1 pitch to left field to put runners on first and second. That was Leiter’s 141st pitch ofthe night, yet Valentine still stuck with him. One batter too long, it turned out. “I was wrong. It was the wrong decision, obviously,” Valentine said sarcastically. “If I

COREY JOHNSON, an openly gay football player, encouraged last night’s audience at the Women’s Center to be vigilant in the fight for civil rights for homosexuals. In the midst of applying to colleges after his year off from school, Johnson is now a prominent gay rights activist armed with a powerful story. His case demonstrates the struggles of gay youth, who must sort out popular media images and public perception of gay peopie as they deal with their identities, His speeches also champion the support system established in Massachusetts,

perhaps the most progressive state in supporting gay students, “There is a major civil rights battle going on right now,” he said. “We are not settling for second best anymore. I think you should all take a pledge that we’re not going to compromise. We’re not going to settle for civil unions. We need to stand up and be vigilant and cross bridges.”

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2000

When is the spring scrimmage, again? A disappointing reality has set in on East Campus this semester. Duke’s freshmen have yet to see a revenue team win a sporting event. In non-revenue sports, the Blue Devils’ fall teams have posted a combined 4336 record. The Carlyle Cup standings are 11.5-0, Carolina over Duke. Fortunately, no one knows about that and the ones who do don’t give a damn. In fact, it’s so bad that the biggest story of the fall is women’s tennis, which has traditionally been considered a spring sport. And this is not limited to the student population. At this week’s football press conference, reporters from all over the Triangle were more interested in when next season’s spring scrimmage will be than what position Bobby Campbell will

play this week. The press were also interested in whether Reggie Love and Jeremy Battier were going to capitalize on their 11 completions and 87 combined yards and walk on to the men’s basketball team. Franks had no problem with this, as long as they were “making a significant contribution to that team.” Maybe they could make a significant contribution to the football team first. With seven losses down, and only four chances left, the football team is on the verge of absolute ridicule. As if losing to a mediocre Georgia Tech team 45-10 weren’t bad enough, the football bus made a grand entrance into Bobby Dodd Stadium, as a compartment flew open, taking out a window and nearly a couple of passers-by. What a metaphor. At quarterback, D. Bryant is as good

as Fred Goldsmith said he would be, and by next year, he should be awfully competitive. He’s athletic, he’s confident, and he gains more knowledge and valuable experience with every game. But to be fair, Bobby Campbell has thrown over 300 yards before and Spencer Romine has thrown for over 400 yards on past occasions. But the Blue Devils have not been suffering from a lack of depth at quarterback, and traditionally, with guys like Spence Fisher, all the way back to Ben Bennett, that’s never been the problem. It’s the wide receiving corps where they’re really hurting. Come on, convicted Yemeni thieves have better hands than these guys. Losing Richmond Flowers to UT-

Chatanooga was bad enough, but when a lacrosse player is Duke’s leading receiver, there’s obviously some problems. I That’s why Franks brought celebrated high school standouts like Love, Battier and Khaiy Sharpe. I mean, you’ve got to feel bad for these guys. For starters, Sharpe has been redshirted because of tendinitis in his leg. Battier got bonked in the head after a suspicious play early on against Clemson and Love got off to a rough start as well. Now all anyone wants to know is whether they will play basketball. The season began with problems when B.J. Hill and Nate Krill, two key defensive players, looked doubtful after injury. As doubtful turned into improbable and improbable turned into redshirt, Franks has now moved previous receiver Kyle Moore to defense to play inside linebacker in an effort to move Duke’s defense, nationally 113 out of 114, past Maryland, which is 111 on the charts.

Guard and tackle Kevin Lees Needless to say, Duke parents will likely see a lot of endzone action this weekend in Wally Wade. Despite the poor condition of the field, the turf in the

endzones should be pretty solid, considering Duke has only been there four times this season. See, that’s where the trouble comes in. Duke is only 112 out of 114 in offense. Statistically, that means we should be able to take Louisiana Monroe and North Texas. Fortunately the Golden Knights and the Mean Green Eagles don’t have to worry because Duke has spent its time playing non-conference opponents like Northwestern, which is No. 24 in the last AP poll and East Carolina, which will seriously challenge Southern Miss for the Conference-USA title this year. At least North Texas can’t scrape up enough fans to outnumber Duke fans 3to-1 at Wally Wade. The ACC schedule has been no more merciful. Duke was steamrolled early by Clemson (No. 7 nationally at the time) and two weeks later, managed to face a Florida State team (then No. 7) which was sulking after its loss to Miami and consequentially, was looking for a scalpin’. In just over two weeks, Duke will face an upstart N.C. State (which will probably be No. 7 by then) headed by former Florida State

associate head coach Chuck Amato, who has worked wonders with the retooled Wolfpack. It’s amazing what a million-dollar staff can do. Speaking of geniuses, right now, Brian Morton looks smarter than Steven Hawking for coming to Duke. Where else could he get so many opportunities to punt? (Okay, maybe at North Texas...) Sixth in the nation, Boomer needs only four more punts per game to break the ACC record, probably making him Duke’s most important man. Can you imagine if, after Duke’s pathetic drive, the punter averaged 22 yards or so per punt? It’s too bad that he’ll be gone next year. Is Heather Sue still eligible? While there is still hope for an upset this weekend against Maryland, and an even bigger shot to beat Wake Forest next weekend in Winston-Salem. After that, it’s all downhill as Duke “takes on”

State and Carolina. And unless Duke manages to infect Ronald Curry with a mysterious stomach virus by November 18, it’s lights out for this season. For guys who get up at 6 a.m. and work their hearts out every day, it’s hard to suffer this kind of defeat with only a wing, a prayer and a promise of ‘next year, it’s going to be better.’ It’s even harder when all those next years have rolled by; for the seniors, there won’t be any next years. Maybe Ronnie Hamilton put it best earlier in the week: “Now we’re playing for pride.” Kevin Lees is a sophomore associate sports editor. He only wishes he could take out the Bobby Dodd sign.

And while the lasting image of this Series is certain to be Roger Clemens throwing the bat toward Mike Piazza, this is the picture the Yankees will prefer to savor: owner George Steinbrenner hoisting yet another large piece of hardware for the team’s celebrated trophy case. “The Mets gave us everything we could want. It was great for the city ofNew York,” Steinbrenner said. Slumping Bernie Williams also homered for the Yankees. But it was Sojo, who blossomed into a goodluck charm after rejoining the Yanks from Pittsburgh Aug. 7, who delivered the winning hit. “It’s the happiest day of my life. I don’t know how to explain it,” said Sojo, who entered the game in the eighth inning. ‘Today they gave me a chance to come through. I did and it was unbelievable.” >

Then he walked Jorge Posada and gave up a single to Scott Brosius, and Sojo followed by slapping a single up the middle on Leiter’s 142nd and final pitch. Another run scored on the play when center fielder Jay Payton’s throw home hit Posada and bounded into the Mets’ dugout. Sojo’s single snapped the Yankees’ 0for-16 streak with runners in scoring position, dating to Game 2. At the stroke of midnight, Piazza flied out to the edge of the warning track in center field with a runner on base to finish it. The Yankees fans in the sellout crowd of 55,292 went wild after having been outshouted all evening. Unlike the overmatched San Diego Padres in 1998 and the overwhelmed Atlanta Braves in 1999, the wild-card Mets were in it all the way. Their best chance, however, really may have ended when closer Armando Benitez could not hold a one-run lead in the opener.

The Yankees went into the playoffs with seven straight losses, and also dropped the opener in their AL series against Oakland and Seattle. In the end, though, manager Joe Torre’s team showed what October experience is all about. Even with so much at stake, there was room to have a little fun—with a broken bat, no less. Kurt Abbott shattered his bat on a foul ball in the Mets fourth, and the jagged barrel skittered out toward Jeter at shortstop. With the crowd starting to hoot, mindful of the Clemens-Piazza encounter in Game 2, Jeter made a nice show in defusing any hint of trouble. He fielded the broken piece with his glove, laughed and handed it to a Mets batboy. On the Mets’ bench, Piazza chuckled. But in the Yankees’ dugout, Clemens just stared straight ahead as the crowd chanted “Rah-ger, Rah-ger.” Had it gone to Game 6, Clemens would have started tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium. While Jeter and Williams hit the solo homers for the Yankees, the Mets scraped out two runs that left it tied at 2 through the seventh. Williams put the Yankees ahead 1-0 when he homered leading offthe second. The cleanup man had been 0-for-15 through four games and hitless in his last 22 Series at-bats overall. “I didn’t care how I was hitting as long as we were winning,” Williams said. Jeter, who homered on the first pitch of the game the previous night, made it 2-2 by hitting a shot into the Yankees’ left-field bullpen in the sixth offLeiter.

Duke looks for a win VOLLEYBALL from page 21 Perhaps playing some home games will be enough to jump-start the Blue Devils in time for the ACC tournament. Of the team’s six remaining games, four will be at home, beginning this weekend when Duke hosts in-state rivals North Carolina and N.C. State. If the Blue Devils were searching for an easy match to put them back in their winning ways, then tonight’s game against UNC is not the place to look. The Tar Heels come to Cameron riding a four-game win streak, an overall record of 20-4 and an ACCleading 10-1 mark in the conference. Their .833 winning percentage is 17th best in the nation. Since defeating the Blue Devils 3-1 Oct. 15 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina has dropped only a single game en route to three more conference victories, enabling the Tar Heels to hold a slim half-game lead over Georgia Tech in the conference standings. Sunday’s game against N.C. State may prove to be a better opportunity for Duke to ready itself for the ACC tournament Nov. 16. The Blue Devils seek revenge after dropping a disappointing match to the Wolfpack 3-0 exactly two weeks ago, the start of their four-game slide. N.C. State is currently last in the ACC with an overall record of 7-16,1-10 in the conference. After underachieving in the earlier loss to the Wolfpack, it is apparent that Duke needs to play a much more steady game if it is to beat State this time around. “We need to play up to our capability, which we did not do last time against State,” Nagel said. “We need to play our game.” If the Blue Devils are to win this weekend, their serving will be a big part of it. Duke is currently tops in the ACC with 181 aces, 30 more than second-place Maryland. Juniors Bryn Gallagher and Ashley Harris currently rank third and fourth in the conference, respectively, in aces per game, with sophomore teammate Josie Weymann ranking fifth. N.C. State and North Carolina currently stand fifth and sixth, respectively, in the conference in serving. Neither team has a single player in the top 10. In a season that has been extremely streaky, playing the majority of their remaining schedule at home may provide just enough stability to put the Blue Devils on a winning streak at the most crucial time of the season. For an extremely young team that at times has shown flashes of brilliance, it is only these inconsistencies on the road that prevent them from being among the ACC’s elite.

It’s too bad the ACC tournament isn’t being held

in Cameron.

M atchup of the Week:

Duke’s offense vs. The goal line in the Ist half Rarely does a team go so long without finding the endzone in the first half,

but again this is Duke football. Although the emphasis is not necessarily on scoring at the beginning, but instead scoring at all, the Blue Devils should try to come out and put points on the board early. It’s just a matter of whether it’s in the endzone or through the uprights.

If the Blue Devils could stop the pass they would probably have the edge here, but that has been one of their many major problems all year. In many games, Duke has played decent defense for a few quarters and then given up. The Maryland air game is no prize, but it should be enough to take out Duke.

When Maryland Has the Ball Whether Jordan has lived up to the hype or not is really a moot point for the Blue Devils because he is still very good. However, if there is one place where Duke has not played terrible defense this season, it’s against the rush. Look for the Blue Devils to try to make Jordan beat them, and he will.

The only team worse than Maryland at defending the rush is Duke. However, this is offense not defense, and Chris Douglas is one of the few Blue Devils to rank in the top 10 in the ACC in any offensive category. If Maryland is expecting airborne, the run could make some big plays and surprise the Terps.

D. Bryant is coming along and figures to be a solid quarterback for the next few years, but Duke needs to catch the ball first. Maryland ranks seventh in the league in defending the pass, but Duke ranks last in throwing it. Whoever can take their opponent in this part of the game should win.

Punter Brian Morton has been great for the Blue Devils as everyone already knows, and he will break the ACC record probably within the next three games. Meanwhile Maryland ranks dead last in punt returns, so the Blue Devils stellar special teams should have no problem containing the Terps.

Maryland came into the season with higher aspirations but so far has not done much in the ACC. It remains a very confusing team—capable of upsetting a top-25 team like N.C. State, or capable of losing to a cellar dweller like Duke. Meanwhile, Franks is expecting big performances out of his seniors, and although it’s not senior day, it is Parents’ Weekend, and Duke has historically always played well then. Also, the Blue Devils need to win soon so they are not remembered as the worst team to walk the hallowed grounds of Wallace Wade Stadium. So, is this the week? Could be. Possibly. Maybe. Why not.

have yet to score a first-half touchdown, they are fortunate that the Terps poll in at 111th out of 114 teams nationally in defense. “Some of the reasons are because we dropped some or threw some interceptions in the endzone,” said Franks about his team’s lack of touchdowns. “We found away not to score.” On the other end of the ball, Duke must be able to contain Maryland’s running game, which remains up in the air after preseason All-America candidate LaMont Jordan was benched last week against Wake Forest. Jordan, who has not lived up to his preseason expectations, comes to Durham with something to prove. He and the rest of the Maryland team will be seeking revenge against the Blue Devils, who helped keep them from a bowl bid last season. “Right now, I am not looking ahead of Duke,” Maryland coach Ron Vanderlinden said. “Duke kept us out of a bowl game a year ago. I watched that game again last night before I went home, and I wish that I hadn’t because that was a very frustrating game.... Our only focus right now is on how we can find away to get a win against Duke.” Maryland believes it has something to prove against Duke—and a second straight loss isn’t it. The Terps should come out ready to throw everything against this young Duke team. After two losses, Maryland is coming off a win against Wake Forest and plans to extend its ACC winning streak against the league’s worst team. “After the Virginia game, we made it our intent to get better, to make improvement and to refocus,” Vanderlinden said. “I felt that our effort at Clemson was a step in the right direction and in the Wake Forest game there is no question that we were a much better football team. I think that we have been playing hard and playing with a lot of emotion and enthusiasm.” However, if Duke does hold one edge, it is in the intangible category. The Blue Devils have always played well when the parents roll into town, and the fifth-year seniors will not want to finish their tenure here in the same manner they started it, 0-11. “We are going into this week and hopefully we can come out and improve,” Franks said. “We are trying to improve on the mental mistakes that we keep making. We are trying to eliminate the things we can control. Hopefully our concentration level will get a lot better. I think our seniors will look to be big leaders this week.”

One-time Heisman hopeful Jordan needs breakout game By HAROLD GUTMANN

Jordan was forced to miss summer work-outs in order to focus on academics, but that did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm for Maryland’s all-time leading rusher, who ran for a school-record 1,632 yards his junior year. Last year it seemed like Jordan could do no wrong. He touched the ball 188 times without fumbling; he scored four touchdowns against Clemson; he caught a 70-yard touchdown pass, ran for a 90yard touchdown and even threw a 60yarder for a touchdown. And when Maryland needed him most, when they had to win one of their four remaining games to clinch a bowl berth for the first time in 10 years, Jordan performed at his best. He ran for 227 yards against Duke (including runs of 73 and 74 yards), 169 yards against defending champion Florida State and then a career-high 306 yards in the last game of the season against Virginia. “[Jordan is] a tremendous back,” said Duke linebacker Ryan Stallmeyer after witnessing his skill first-hand last year. “He’s going to make a great back in the

The Chronicle

Last Saturday against Wake Forest, a Maryland running back finally ran for over 100 yards. Surprisingly, it was not pre-season Heisman candidate LaMont Jordan, but his replacement in the starting lineup, Mukala Sikyala. Coach Ron Vanderlinden said the change was made because Jordan suffered a hip pointer in practice leading up to the game, and Jordan did carry the ball 10 times for 86 yards against the inferior Demon Deacons. Still, a change wasn’t unexpected given the way Jordan has under-performed this season. To be fair, the expectations on Maryland’s senior tailback were enormous coming into September. No Maryland player has even been in the top five in the Heisman voting since 1953, 25 years before Jordan was bom. But Jordan was going to change all that. All told, nine major preseason publications put Jordan on their AllAmerica teams. Only Michigan lineman Steve Hetchinson and Wisconsin back Jamar Fletcher also made all nine teams. NFL some day.”

How

high

were

expectations?

Maryland’s pre-season media guide noted that Jordan only needed 1,773 yards to become the second ACC player to ever reach 4,000. But these expectations came crashing down this season. Jordan has only run for over 100 yards once, tying him with Sikyala for the team lead. Jordan would not talk to the media this week, but a number of explanations have been offered for the decrease in his production. Academic struggles and the hip pointer injury might have weighed on the running back both mentally and physically. Also, defenses have been able to focus on him as the sole threat in an unspectacular offense led by sophomore Calvin McCall. Even the defense has not helped Jordan’s cause. Because of the unit’s inability to stop opposing teams, Maryland has not held the ball longer than its opponent in any game this season, giving the Terps’ running game fewer opportunities than it would like. Still, Maryland has not given up hope on its biggest star.

In his weekly press conference, Vanderlinden defended Jordan by saying the team had played the third-toughest schedule in the country before last week’s breather against Wake Forest. And Duke coach Carl Franks is still worried about the running back. “He’s starting to hit his stride,” Franks said. “This last week he didn’t start the game, so he was pretty mad. It looked like he was trying to prove something when he came in.” A recent Maryland press release on Jordan still remains optimistic, noting that the senior is only “841 yards shy of the ACC career-rushing record.” Jordan is averaging 76.5 yards per game this season—he would have to almost triple his output to 210 yards per game in his last four games to supplant N.C. State’s Ted Brown as the conference’s most prolific rusher. But a game against Duke, which allows opponents an average of 189 yards on the ground, would certainly be the right place for the senior to get on track.

“We’re hoping for that,” Vanderlinden said. “We could certainly use him.”

Just a few more steps, Epp: It’s not exactly something to write home about, but with his parents in town, Duane Epperson won’t have to. Although plenty of running backs surge past 1,000 yards rushing in a single season, it has taken Epperson four years to achieve that feat. There are no guarantees he will surpass 1,000 tomorrow, but even within Duke’s anemic system, he should be able to manage the three yards he needs to reach that plateau. Best ofluck, Duane.

Time flies when the defense doesn’t play defense: Believe it or not, the Blue Devils actually dominated one typically crucial statistic during last week’s 45-10 loss to Georgia Tech. Perhaps because Tech’s Kelly Campbell could score at will in rapid-fire fashion against Duke’s defense, the Blue Devils maintained possession of the ball for twice as long as the Yellow Jackets. Duke also ran 33 more plays from scrimmage than Tech.

A little Love in Duke’s lineup: Freshman Reggie Love, possibly the most-hyped recruit Carl Franks

has yet to bring to Duke, finally started his first game of the season last week after nagging injuries slowed him during the preseason and early weeks of the regular season. Love hauled in a 12-yard pass for his only reception of the game, but it was also his first career touchdown and the only TD the Blue Devils would tally the entire afternoon.

Special teams give winless Duke 1 reason for optimism By FOZAILALVI The Chronicle

When coach Carl Franks looks back on this season, at least he can say the team looked better than almost all its

opponents at something. Despite having the worst season—one plagued with injuries, new faces in a complex system and a shuffling of quarterbacks—since the winless 1996 campaign, the Blue Devils have excelled in special teams. In fact, great special team play might just make the difference the next two weeks as Duke meets peren-

against the Yellow Jackets helped the Blue Devils to a first down before Garber knocked a 47-yarder through the uprights. Franks assigns much of the credit for the unit’s success to special teams coordinator Joe DeForest, who is in his seventh season at Duke. “We devote some time to it,” Franks said. “We emphasize it. Joe DeForest does a great job with our special teams. He’s gotten some help from the other coaches. Everybody pitches in.” The punt returners have been averaging a very solid 12.4 yards per punt return, led by junior defensive back Ronnie Hamilton. Hamilton ranks 18th in the nation with a 13.4 yards per punt return average and recently was honored as special team player of the week for his efforts in Tallahassee two weeks ago against Florida State.

kickoffs this year, as Duke’s defense has been torched by opposing offenses. The kickoff return team got off to a blazing start (in the top 10 in the nation in return yards per kickoff at one point) and has somewhat cooled off since the opening weeks of the season. Still, the tandem ofMoore and Douglas is a threat every weekend. Their play is essential for getting good position for Duke’s undependable attack, which racks up a paltry 242 yards a game of total offense. “In Chris Douglas, we’ve got a pretty skilled guy back there returning kickoffs,” Franks said. “Ronnie Hamilton is very good at returning punts. The return game, your speed and effort and guys getting in front of him, sometimes is relative to who’s returning.” Douglas, a redshirt freshman, has been a particularly pleasing asset to this year’s special team squad. He has doubled at running back, and Franks hoped for no less from someone with Douglas’ potential. “Certainly, I expected him to [have the kind ofyear he is havingl,” Franks said. “That’s why I put him back there.

The team is stacked and it’s on a roll. They’ve had two weeks to get ready. They sent Texas (once No. 5) plummeting by a ridiculous 63-14 and beat Kansas State (then No. 2) by a hearty 41-31. Second in the recent BCS rankings, with QB Josh Heupel emerging as a Heisrron candidate —watch out!

Game Notes:

Can Chuck Amato, former associate head coach at FSU, manage to take out his one-time mentor? Good question. The last time FSU was beaten in a conference match was in 1998...at Carter-Finley.

Fresh oft a 45-10 drubbing of Duke, GeorgiaTech faces Tommy Bowden in Death Valley, not the easiest order to fill. But Carolina proved last week that stopping Dantzler on the run can be very effective.
