Presidential race heads toward photo finish By RICHARD BERKE

N.Y. Times News Service

For all their efforts to differentiate their personalities and positions, Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President A1 Gore shared an approach that might become a model for future presidential candidates: They steered their campaigns toward the absolute center of American politics. This shift was prompted by numerous factors, from an electorate that is less ideological to the proliferation of new technology that has made it virtually impossible for candidates to pander to one constituency without another finding out. For more than two decades, every campaign for president has featured at least one nominee who made blatant appeals to the ideological wing of his party. But this year, both candidates concluded that voters have no yearning for campaigns founded in ideology and prefer mainstream messages. They devoted their efforts to blurring their differences—and appropriating each other’s issues. That is why Bush opened his campaign by chastising congressional Republicans for not doing enough to help the poor and has emphasized education and other issues that had been anathema to his party. The last Republican to campaign so decidedly in the center was

Eduardo Kac is a transgenic artist—he uses genetic engineering techniques to create unique living beings. As a part ofhis “Genesis” exhibit in New York last month, Kac translated a sentence from the Book of Genesis into Morse Code and then converted it into a genetic code, which a biotech company later used to create an original strain of bacteria. The bacteria were then kept in a petri dish under a ultraviolet light box which allowed Internet users to induce mutations in the bacteria and rewrite an oft-quoted sentence of the Old Testament—with a simple click ofthe mouse. At the end of the exhibition, Kac translated the bacteria’s genes back into English. While most of the sentence’s original meaning was preserved, some interesting alterations occurred, including an appearance of the

By LIZETTE ALVAREZ N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON Rep. Dick Gephardt, the Democrat who would be speaker, has relentlessly skewered Republicans, and at a caucus meeting last

month even painted his face blue, like Mel Gibson in “Braveheart,” to gird his colleagues for battle. To invigorate conservative minions, Rep. Dennis Hastert, the speaker, ushered Congress into a lame-duck session rather than concede a few budget items to President Bill Clinton. Hastert said he could not trust Gephardt, the minority leader, and Gephardt feels shunned by Hastert. The two have not spoken to each other in five months. How then will either man govern at the helm of a House that could have only one or two seats separating the majority from the minority? It may be more difficult for Gephardt of Missouri, who is viewed by Republicans as virulently partisan, and who would have to overcome reservoirs of ill will if elected speaker. “They have done nothing for six years except focus on getting the majority back,” Rep. Tom Delay ofTexas, the Republican whip, said about Gephardt and his caucus. See HOUSE LEADERS

The truce, in its fifth day Monday, has dampened the overall level of unrest but has not extinguished it.

costs rise to $4 billion

The total tab for state and federal elections this year will be an estimated $4 billion, according to figures from the Federal Election Commission and the Center for Responsive Politics. This is about 50 percent more than the cost of the 1996 election that fanned discussion of campaign finance reform. Soft money contributions to the Democratic and Republican parties rose 74 percent and 84 percent, respectively, from four years ago.

� Buchanan finishes on regretful note Reform Party presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, lagging with one percent or less in national polls, said Monday that he was having second thoughts about running as a third-party candidate. “I’ve decided that a presidential campaign is really not a place where great ideas and great issues can be best advanced," said Buchanan, who spoke at a suburban Detroit news conference Monday before wrapping up his campaign in Rochester and Buffalo

Bush, said at a news conference in Washington state that "if A1 Gore loses tomorrow, he should look in the mirror for the cause. Politicians should want voters to follow their conscience and forget about being strategic."

� State Republicans rally in Raleigh While stale Democrats gathered in Durham, Republicans rallied in Raleigh and urged their supporters Monday to give them 36 more hours of hard work as they neared the finish of campaigning. “You know what has to be done,” former Gov. Jim Martin told a crowd that jammed state Republican Party headquarters to cheer GOP gubernatorial candidate Richard Vinroot. “You know what we need to do in the last few hours.”

� Democrats seek black voters’ support With less than 48 hours to go before the election, North Carolina Democrats turned Sunday to a traditional ally—predominantly black churches—in an effort to get voters to the polls. A host of prominent Democrats —including lieutenant governor candidate Beverly Perdue, attorney general candidate Roy Cooper and incumbent State Auditor Ralph Campbell—attended a get-out-the-vote rally Sunday night at the Poplar Springs United Church of Christ in Raleigh.

After a daylong tour of the state, candidates expressed

optimism for victory

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle On the last day of campaigning for election 2000, the heavyweights of the North Carolina Democratic Party ended their statewide tour at downtown Durham’s Armory Monday night. Hun-

dreds of the party’s faithful gathered to wish their candidates luck as Election

Day drew nearer. The pep rally lasted for over an hour

with local high school marching bands and dancers on hand to entertain the crowd before and after a series of speeches from almost every Democratic politician from Governor Jim Hunt to labor commissioner candidate Doug Berger. Republicans held no such event in the county. “It was exciting to see everyone here,” said Democratic supporter Irene Hoffe, who wore pins and stickers in support most of the party’s candidates. “It made me proud to be a Democrat.” The only figure noticeably absent from the Durham celebration was Attorney General Mike Easley, the party’s gubernatorial candidate. Fourth District U.S. Congressman David Price said Easley had developed strep throat, but campaigned throughout the day, only skipping Durham in favor of a live television interview. “Our North Carolina ticket is very strong, and we want people to get out and vote,” said U.S. Senator John Edwards. “Democracy doesn’t work unless everyone does their part. We will all be deciding if we want the prosperity of the last eight years to continue.” The rally comes as polls across the nation show a close presidential race between Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Democratic Vice President A1 Gore. While some supporters confidently declared that the Democrats will easily win national and state races, others acknowledged the heartache they might feel after tomorrow’s vote.

The argument for committees is that they force members of both parties to talk together about issues and they require leaders to build from the bottom up. “I’ll tell you this, if we ever start bypassing the committees, they got to fight with me,” warned Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who would become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee if the Democrats were to win the House. But Gephardt also acknowledges that Democrats must not revert to old times, when their chairmen lorded over committees like private fiefs and circumvented the wishes of the caucus. “Committee chairs were off doing their things and there was not a lot of cross-communication,” Gephardt said. “This was always a fight.” In his view, governing near the center is the only way to manage such a narrow majority, and Republicans, Gephardt said, have strayed too far to the right, which is why there is legislative gridlock.

candidates engaged in delicate balancing acts. Four years ago, Bob Dole sought to appeal to moderates but could never escape his connection to thenHouse Speaker Newt Gingrich. In 1988, Michael Dukakis presented himself as a competent manager, not as an ideologue, but could not resist declaring himself a proud liberal toward the close of the campaign. In 1984, Walter Mondale made a point ofwarning voters that he would raise their taxes. This year, the moves to the center may be purely cosmetic: One could argue that Bush is a steadfast conservative who would govern like one, or that Gore would behave like a liberal once he

was in office. Yet even if it is only for appearances, there are several reasons

why Bush and Gore have aimed toward the center—and why other presidential hopefuls may well follow suit. The American electorate is far less ideological than it once was and seems far less patient with sharply partisan appeals. The proportion ofindependents has risen steadily, and fewer voters are rooted in Democratic or Republican orthodoxy.

Rabbit, dialogue it spurs together create Kac’s artwork � BUNNY from page I drawn extensive praise from art communities worldwide. With a strong focus on communication, Kac attempts to engage his audience with his works, challenging them to step inside his creations and partake in the artistic process. “The whole process is a snap-

shot of the crossroads between technology, culture and art,” said Kac. Now an assistant professor of art and technology at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Kac began to fuse technology and biology through multiple media in the ’Bos. Since then, Kac’s exhibitions have ranged from seven-foot-tall robots that conversed with gallery visitors byway of an unseen radio operator to a plant that grew solely on sunlight provided by viewers from across the world who pointed their personal web cameras at the sun each day. Last May, Kac presented to the world his “GFP bunny,” also known as Alba, an albino rabbit that glows fluorescent when exposed to blue light.

“Alba herself is not a work of art... [she] is only one component of the art,” he said. “The socialization of this being, the challenging of the boundaries and the [subsequent] dialogical exchange between beings are also a part [of the artwork] For these reasons, Kac refuses to place Alba in a cage and on a pedestal for the world to see. His initial idea was to set up a living room at the place of exhibition, where he and his family would live with Alba. However, these plans did not come to fruition as the director ofthe French laboratory that enabled Kac to create the transgenic rabbit refused to allow for the animal’s release. Kac said he hopes that Alba raises awareness on contemporary issues. “Something profound is happening in the world today,” he said. “The language of biotechnology is known to a limited and select few.” Kac explained that a shift in a world view is needed for people to understand this newly emerging language and develop their own opinions on the subject. Kac added that the issues raised by Alba’s creation

should be discussed at great depth and with utmost respect for life. Despite Kac’s defense of his work, there are plenty of critics who view it as ethically problematic. A passionate and diverse crowd of over 200 filled Love Auditorium last night to attend Kac’s speech entitled “Art, Genetics and Ethics: The Transgenic Art of Eduardo Kac.” In addition to Kac and Edward Shanken, the event’s organizer and a graduate student in art and art History, the symposium featured four prominent Duke professors whose expertise spanned religion, genetics, medical ethics and human rights. Although everyone agreed that the genetically modified rabbit is art, some audience members and panelists questioned whether Kac was prepared to accept possible unintended and uncontrollable consequences of his work. One audience member suggested that genetic art could produce greater apprehension of genetic engineering technology. Others wondered whether the creation of Alba was even necessary for generating the dialogue.

Vote for education bond

The

last question on today’s North Carolina election ballot is an important one. Voters will decide the fate of public universities in North Carolina when they weigh in on a ballot issue calling for $3.1 billion in bonds to fund renovations and expansions for the state’s community colleges and universities. The answer to the bond issue question must be “yes.” These schools are in a funding pinch and need this infusion of aid to finance construction, repair buildings and update technology. Floating the bonds, which will not raise taxes, is a smart choice over the option ofraising tuition at North Carolina’s universities. The state’s population is growing rapidly, and something needs to be done that increases funding but keeps tuition affordable for all. This bond issue does not only support the higher-profile UNC schools. A large part of the bond’s funding goes to community colleges, and other sums are directed to the state’s oft-forgotten historically black colleges and universities—institutions that are in need of a spending increase. A “yes” vote on the bond issue will benefit all North Carolinians—not just the ones with college-age family members. Better schools brings a better educated populace. A better educated populace will cause businesses to move to the state, benefiting the state’s economy. It all starts with voting “yes” on the UNC bond issue.

Get out and vote

Voting

is the easiest and most powerful way to participate in democracy. It is a civic duty of all citizens to make an informed decision and head to the polls on election day. That day is today, and the choice is yours. If you are registered to vote, there is still time to make an informed choice. Two hundred and twenty-four years ago, the United States began its quest for freedom. Over the years, scores of Americans have died to protect this nation from those who would take democracy away—both at home and abroad. Vote to honor their memory. In some nations, people wait in line for days to cast their ballots; in the United States, pundits expect turnout to be around 50 percent. Vote to prove them wrong. In still other countries, there are people who do not have the freedom to choose their elected leaders or to govern themselves. Vote today to show these people the power of democracy. Young people’s issues are not addressed by the candidates for president because young people do not vote. Senior citizens vote and see their concerns addressed in every policy speech. Vote to make politicians pay attention to your needs. When you vote today, you define tomorrow.

Editor

Chaplain claims the Bible comes from divine origin Mark I appreciate Rutledge’s Oct. 25 letter in which he used the issue of same sex unions in the Chapel to offer this question: “Is the Bible a divine or human product?” Rutledge concludes it is a human product. This issue is much too complex to be explored satisfactorily in a letter to the editor (for example, the Bible

As such, it has enduring authority. Jesus viewed his Bible as for referenced letter, see http:/ www.chronicle.duke.edu/chronicle 2000 /

Editorial wrongly uses term ‘commander in chief’ I was not the least bit surprised when The Chronicle endorsed Vice President A1 Gore for president. However, I was not merely surprised but appalled when I read “We need a commander in chief, not a delegator in chief.” After a column that had very little, if anything, to say about the our armed services, the phrase “commander in chief’ obviously had nothing to do with the military. Instead, it seemed to refer to the position and power that the president, and specifically A1 Gore, should wield over social policy. The president must not be a “commander” of any sort over issues like those mentioned in the endorsefor referenced editorial, see http.

On the

merit—education, abortion, gay and lesbian rights and campaign finance reform. When a single person, popularly elected or not, is given or usurps such power, it is a dictatorship. It is the job of the Senate and House of Representatives to pass laws on these sorts of issues. The courts decide their constitutionality. The job of the president is to execute the

laws faithfully. If the president can ignore the popular will of the people and “command” the executive branch to enforce his own beliefs and positions, the rights of millions of American citizens will be trampled. Regardless of which way the election goes, nearly 50

percent of the country will be disappointed. In America, the minority can accept the defeat of its candidate precisely because their voice is still present in the government through other elected representatives. We live under a government that was specifically designed to protect the minority against the majority. If our presidents become our “commanders,” this protection, along with whatever voice we have in government today, will be lost. I hope The Chronicle does not support such tyranny. I’m sure it won’t if Gov. George W. Bush wins.

What makes for diversity? The University should

not forfeit student housing preferences for poor attempts at ‘diversity’

Giulianis corner

Tim Chronicle, in a common sentimen these days, equates skin color to diversity. 1his concept is, simply, silly, campus in not one whose racial breakdown matches the “magic” one Christoph Guttentag dreams about, ihe quality and variety of students’ ideas should measure diversity on a colege campus, not some factor as arbitrary as skin color. This is a position I have always held see my columns from a pi? ummer' The Chronicle was not looking at the whole story when it examined recently-

chyerse

Dave Nigro Sometimes, The Chronicle just makes

me laugh. And I don’t mean the comics.

On Oct. 30, the unsigned editorial (or the “edit,” in Chroniclespeak), called for

the elimination ofall select houses, both greek and non-greek. The reasoning behind this was to create a “more diverse” campus. The edit went on to suggest assigning blocks of 10 selfselected students to live alongside other blocks of 10 for the entire three years as upperclassmen. I am amazed that a staff of reasonable and capable people could come up with such an uninformed, unenlightened and utterly ridiculous set of ideas. The Chronicle did not separate greek from non-greek select groups. This is their first oversight. In general, the two groups are very different. The greek houses here are homogenous; they all live essentially similar lifestyles. Let’s face it, even behind all the Abercrombie and Fitch gear, I would bet their own mothers could not tell them apart. Non-greek groups are a whole different animal. Every one has its own character, its own unique feel. There are not just two categories of living, but many. The edit asserts that the University is contradicting itself by spending money on minority recruitment yet continuing to allow a residential system that works against minorities. The Chronicle feels that the University should work for a more “diverse” campus.

released housing data that revealed what any half-blind, half-demented quad squirrel knows: that is, The Big White West, has that name for a reason. The black/white numbers mean nothing. They do not tell us anything about the kinds of people who live on West. Those numbers tell nothing about their thoughts, feelings or personal characteristics. The most laughable part of the edit was the suggestion that students be must live in blocks of 10 people for multiple years at Duke. There is nothing like a big, “down with the establishment” edit that, as an alternative to the status quo, suggests... keeping the status quo. The edit’s proposal of the “block” system of living is essentially the same living option that we live with now—the only difference is that blocks must be 10 students in size as opposed to the current size limit of 8. The edit asserts that this, “breaks down comfort zones, teaches students about one another and especially about how to live together fairly.” Those words give me that warm and fuzzy feeling, but they don’t fool me into thinking that block living will make us a collegiate

Investigation reveals Californians’ political views Everyday Dharma Kevin Pride Well, today is election day and something like four or five out of every 10 Americans will step into the polls and decide the fate of the entire nation for the next four years. This year’s presidential race has been one of the

most hotly contested in decades. So close, in fact, that political analysts have had to consider the chaotic possibility that the winner of the popular vote may not even win the actual election. Bush. Gore. Gush. Bore. These are our options, A lot of the debates have focused on relief for the poor, in the form of tax cuts, prescription drug benefits and social securities, well, security. The pundits have argued, the pollsters have calculated, and if what they say is accurate, the American public is pretty much divided on which candidate it prefers. Grown pale and wan by the country’s insatiable hunger for the latest poll results, and distrusting of the entire polling process (so many polls, so many divergent results), I decided to conduct my very own informal presidential poll. The setting for this poll? My neighborhood in San Francisco—the Mission. To provide some context, you should know that my mother has called me twice in the last four months, distressed after seeing my neighborhood on ABC’s television show 20/20. One episode detailed the story ofan angiy citizen who resorted to violent, mercenary tactics to confront the nefarious problems of drugs and prostitution on hjs street, pother time, hidden cameras shadowed a heroin-addicted pros-

titute through a typically iniquitous evening in her life (at one point, she shot up while having sex in a public toilet right outside of my subway stop). The neighborhood is home to low-income families, starving artists, several dot-com upstarts seeking lower rents, and countless drug pushers, pimps, prostitutes and homeless people. I interviewed around 20 people. Here are the results (again, this poll was extremely

informal, more like a conversation, really): Forty percent are for The Human Cyborg, A1 Gore. Twenty percent are voting for The Shrub, George Dubya Bush. Forty percent are for Ralph Nader (the Mission is home to Northern California’s Nader 2000 headquarters).

“I decided

conduct to very own informal presidential poll. Ninety-five percent were for the legalization of marijuana. Twenty percent... offered to sell marijuana to me after I asked that question. Of these, 20 percent referred to Ralph Nader as Charles Nader. Seventy-five percent supported the establishment of a living wage to allow working people to stay above the poverty line. Of these, only 30 percent actually work. Twenty-five percent were in favor of campaign finance reform and limitations on soft money campaign

contributions.

The other 75 percent asked me for 50 cents. Eighty percent were in favor of universal health insurance. Sixty percent were in favor of prescription drug benefits for the elderly. Ninety percent were simply interested in obtaining prescription drugs. Sixty-five percent were in favor of increasing the national defense budget. Twenty-five percent served in the armed forces. Ninety-five percent were for the legalization of

marijuana. Twenty percent of those interviewed offered to sell marijuana to me after I asked that question.

Seventy percent were concerned about Social Security and the difficulty of applying for and obtaining it.

The other 30 percent either currently receive or have been accepted for Social Security benefits. Five percent (one person) believed that George W. Bush was the devil. Another person believed that even if A1 Gore is elected, Bill Clinton would be running the show behind the scenes. None of those interviewed actually believed that the economy is good right now. Twenty percent plan on voting today. Seventy-five percent of those interviewed asked me for a cigarette. Ninety percent felt betrayed by the government. So, that’s the word from the streets of San Francisco, a progressive city in a progressive state. And with 54 electoral votes up for grabs, an important state. If you haven’t done it already, get out and vote. And vote your conscience. Remember, the only wasted vote is no vote at all. Kevin Pride, Trinity ’OO, is a former editor of Recess.

Nothing but ‘nyet’: Duke crushes Uralmash Dominating the Russian squad from start to finish, the women’s basketball team cruised to a 10069 victory last night in Cameron. >

Duke

women’s basketball team. In their second and final exhibition game before the regular season begins, the Blue Devils took a decisive win over the Russian team 100-69. Although it was a decidedly fatigued Duke team that began the night—as its Russian opponents held the Blue Devils to a single-digit lead 12 minutes into the first half—the team that finished the night was a little more pumped.

“I thought we played a little tired tonight coach Gail Goestenkors said. ‘This was our fifth day in a row and I think it showed. We’ve been practicing very hard, going at it trying to get better. I thought we were just flat. e I think the Russian team does a good job at moving the basketball and spotting up for threes. They’re not your typical team to play, so it’s hard to prepare for them because they love to shoot the three-point shot more than most American teams. You really have to be on your toes and anticipate. I thought we did a better job in the second half with our defense.” And with the regular season kicking off for the team Friday in Albuquerque, it was Goestenkors’ final chance to tweak a quite interchangable line-up. Last night’s match-up started off with Uralmash’s Vera Shniukov lighting up the *

ICIS TILLIS, who scored 18points last night against Uralmash, goes up for a block on its leading scorer, Vera Shniukova, who recorded 21 points against the Blue Devils.

Before the game, Duke gave Uralmash T-shirts as a measure of goodwill. During the game,

Uralmash had their shirts handed to them again, because of a 20-4 second-half run that featured seven steals in a span of 3:21 and put the game out ofreach. When a steal and lay-up by kiss Tillis gave Duke a 32-21 lead 12 minutes into the game, the lead would never dip below double digits again. But before Uralmash became Ural-mashed, there would be one more charge by the Russians. Down 59-35 four minutes into the second half, Uralmash took an 18-4 run and cut the- deficit to ten. But at that moment the team found a new weapon to unleash on the rest of women’s basketball—the full court press.

Harold Gutmann Game Commentary “When they made their run and cut it to ten, I thought we did a better job coming together and playing better defense,” coach Gail Goestenkors said. “When we picked up full-court, got some tips and got some steals, that put the game away” The pressure started paying off with a steal by Rochelle Parent and the ensuing fast break lay-up by Alana Beard. In the next three minutes, the Blue Devils used steals by Tillis, Mosch, Parent, Missy West, Georgia Schweitzer, and Vicki Krapohl to create easy scoring opportunities on the other end, and bring the lead back to a comfortable 26-point margin, 81-55. All told, the Blue Devils forced Uralmash into 28 turnovers, a statistic that pleased and surprised the coach. “I was talking to the team about picking up their defensive intensity and then the players on their own just started to pick up the full court [press],” Goestenkors said. “The players did it on their own and once they got a steal, they continued with the pressure. It was the best thing they did all night really.” Although it wasn’t planned, pressing Uralmash was a good idea. The Russians only went eight players deep, and when starters Elena See DUKE on page 15 �

draw with teammate Ted Rueger at the ITA Region II Championships last weekend.

Second place has never much been Amanda Johnson’s style. The Bettendorf, lowa, freshman—who has spent her Duke career behind fellow freshman and Riviera champion Ansley Cargill—took a big step out of Cargill’s shadow Sunday, knocking out Janet Bergman in three sets to win her half ofthe Southeast Regional Qualifying Championships for the Rolex Indoor Tournament, thus securing her spot in college tennis’ most prestigious tournament. “It’s nice to be the best,” Johnson said. “Ansley and I are really good friends, and I was happy for her [when she won the Riviera All-American tournament!, and she was happy for me. I felt it was my turn to step up, my turn to play really well. We’re all just out there trying to make Duke look good, and this time it was my turn.” Johnson and Cargill will become the first Duke freshmen to compete in the national tournament since Karin Miller did it on her way to a No. 1 ranking in

1997-98.

“It’s huge from a confidence standpoint, because making the adjustment to college is tough on [freshmen!,” Johnson said. “The first couple of weeks of school, it was tough to get used to things. But I felt in my last three tournaments I had played well, but had lost tough matches. This time I put two and two together, and it feels great,” Johnson could hardly have done it in any more impressive fashion.

The 88th-ranked freshman didn’t lose a set in the tournament, which is annually filled with most of the top players from the Southeast, until No. 20 Carmen Giraldo snagged a first-set 6-4 victory in the semifinals. Those would be the only six games Giraldo would win the whole match. A dominating 12 games later, Johnson was within one win of earning a berth in the Rolex Indoors. “After I lost the first set, something inside me came alive,” Johnson said. “I moved better, played more aggressively and it was over pretty quickly. I felt like

I could beat her, I knew the match should be mine.” The only obstacle that stood between her and a trip to the yearly Dallas tournament was Wake Forest’s Janet Bergman, the tournament’s top seed and a player who has made a career of beating Blue Devils. Johnson started off on the right foot, jumping ahead 5-1 in the first set, but a Bergman comeback turned a comfortable lead into a narrow 6-4 win in the first set. Bergman wasn’t through. The Pinehurst, N.C., junior, who had already eliminated Duke senior Kathy Sell in this tournament and half a year ago had claimed two points in Wake Forest’s 116-match win streak-ending triumph over Duke, rallied to take the second set, sending the match into a decisive third set.

AMANDA JOHNSON won her half of the draw this past weekend

at Southeast Regional Qualifying Championships. “Going into the third set, I just remained calm,” Johnson said. “I didn’t get upset with myself; I started on a clean slate. I just concentrated on getting off to a really good start.” A hold and a break put her up 2-0 to start the set, but a three game rally from Bergman put the Demon Deacon back on top 3-2. It was the last lead Bergman would have. Johnson swept the next four games of the match, closing out one of the strongest showings by a Duke freshman ever and punching her ticket for the

February tournament. “I went into the tournament really feeling confident, I knew I was playing well,” Johnson said. “Every match I went into I just believed in myself. When I got to the finals, I knew I had to close it out.” The Blue Devil freshman also earned a doubles berth into the Rolex Indoors along with senior partner Megan Miller, The duo, which has arguably been Duke’s strongest in the fall season, knocked off Kentucky’s Brooke Skeen and Lauren Rooklidge in the finals. Both Miller and Johnson will join the freshman Cargill in Dallas, Feb. 1-3, as they seek to become the first Blue Devils ever to win college tennis’ top in-season prize.

“It’s always a great tournament,” Johnson said. “It’s something you want to be a part of and we’re really looking forward to it.”

It was an amazing weekend at the ITA Region II Championships in Chapel Hill for men’s tennis player Andres Pedroso, Pedroso was co-champion of the singles draw, and won the doubles championship as well with partner Ted Rueger. His success over the weekend earned him a spot in both the singles and doubles draws of the national indoor tournament in Dallas next February. During Saturday’s quarterfinal action, Pedroso’s chances for victory in the singles draw dangled precariously. He split the first two sets with of his match 3-6, 6-4 before dropping the first five games of the decisive third set. Not to be denied, Pedroso stormed back, winning the next seven games for an improbable 7-5 comeback victory. “I’ve been coaching for about 10 years, and that stands out as one of the best matches I’ve ever seen,” coach Jay Lapidus said. After that nail-biter, Pedroso clinched his spot in the national tournament with a 6-1,6-4 victory over

Josh Goffi of Clemson. Lapidus and members ofthe team said they were elated to see Pedroso’s success, as he has been one of the hardest working members of the team for the last four years. “It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy....l’ve never seen him play better than he did in [that match.l” Lapidus said. Pedroso and Rueger won the doubles title with a 8-6 victory over Chris Erickson and Jody Strik ofWilliam and Mary on Sunday after eliminating Ola Johnson and Thomas Oggesen of UNCCharlotte 8-4 Saturday. “I think the weekend went really well,” Rueger said. “I think there is definitely room for improvement, but at the same time, I’m really grateful to be able to make the trip to Dallas and see how we stand.”

Lapidus expects that Marko Cerenko and

Ramsey Smith will qualify for Dallas as well, leaving the coach very excited for the approaching tournament and the outdoor season in the spring. “All three players should be in the top 12-to-15 in the tournament. I feel really good about our

chances,” Lapidus said. Alex Bose and Joel Spicher also had successful tournaments, advancing to the quarterfinals of the regional event.

Chemi and Marina Hazova went down with leg injuries, and Diana Gustilina fouled out with 13:43 left in the second half, there was nobody left on the bench. As a result, the two remaining Uralmash starters played the entire game, and 34-yearold reserve Olga Shouneikina was forced to play the whole second half. Uralmash was also in the middle of a murderous schedule—the team played the past two nights against South Carolina and Clemson. Still, Schweitzer, who led the team with three steals, thought that pressing would be effective against future teams as well. “It helps when they’re playing the whole 40 minutes,” Schweitzer said, “but our goal every game is to work harder and wear the other team down. We’re in really

The Duke Collegium Musicum, under the direction ofAntony John, will present the first modem performance of seventeenth-century “academic” music: a composition written to be performed at a thesis defense. The performance is free.

David Dorfman *s new work, “To Lie Tenderly,” is an investigation into honesty, individuality and the dynamics of group mentality that actively features both the music and lyrics ofWest-coast musician Amy Denio with the movement and spoken text of critically-acclaimed David Dorfman Dance. Through this work, Dorfman and his collaborators attempt to understand more deeply the world in which they grew up, the uniquely American world defined by the burgeoning freedom ofrock and roll. Co-Presented with the American Dance Festival. Tickets are $2l/$ 17/$ 10 and can be purchased at the Univers Box Office

“WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE” Saturday, November 11 at 8:00PM Reynolds Theater Eric Bogosian is the author of the plays “Talk Radio,” “subllrbia,” and “Griller,” as well as three Obie Award-winning solos: “Drinking in America,” “Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll” and “Pounding Nails in the Floor With My Forehead.” “Wake Up and Smell the Coffee” is the current product of his over-heated mind and soul. In it he blends characters, angry rants, and a stream of consciousness meditation on making it to the top of the ladder, on falling off the ladder and on the exhilarating thrill of the ultimate crash and burn. Some recent critical responses: “Bogosian’s ‘Coffee’ is hot, dark, and very fresh.” (The Boston Globe) “... a rich blend of spirit and cynicism.” (The New York Daily News).
