TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The disputed presidential election results were thrown into new uncertainty Monday when Florida’s Republican secretary of state declared she would enforce a legal Tuesday evening deadline for certifying the statewide vote, even as several Democratic counties moved forward with hand recounts of ballots that might not be finished in time and both sides wrangled in court. At midday, a federal judge in Miami denied as unconstitutional a Republican request for an injunction to block

the manual recounts. After hearing two hours of arguments from teams of lawyers, Judge Donald Middlebrooks deliberated only a moment before concluding that the federal court had no jurisdiction, putting the matter back in state hands. At virtually the same time, two Democratic counties and the campaign of See ELECTION on page 6 PR-

ELECTION WORKER PHYLLIS BRODEUR, from Bolusia County, Fla., continued to count votes by hand yesterday, when a judge rejected Gov. George W. Bush’s attempt to stop the recount.

As the number of Latinos moving to the Triangle has increased, so has their representation at Duke. Currently, the University employs roughly 250 Latinos, and with estimations that the population will continue to grow, administrators are preparing Duke’s work force at for this new dynamic. To explore these issues, Myrna Adams, the special assistant to the executive vice president, will meet with a committee of University administrators and Latino community members today. The group will discuss, among other topics, the administration’s approach to incorporating Latinos into the University’s workforce. The influx of Latino employees will provide a number of challenges for the University. In addition to language barriers, Vice President of Institutional Equity Sally Dickson said Latino employees face a number of cultural differences that current University employees may not be familiar with. “In every culture there are differSee LATINO EMPLOYEES on page 5

Death toll rises in Mideast clashes Violence continues despite Clinton’s meetings with leaders to resolve conflict as promising a prompt and “focused” military response. The Israeli army Monday night ordered a clampdown on move-

By WILLIAM ORME

N.Y. Times News Service

Palestinian JERUSALEM snipers Monday killed two Israeli soldiers and a civilian on a West Bank highway, and Israeli soldiers were accused of shooting two youths dead near their homes in the Gaza Strip. Later in Gaza, Palestinian gunmen shot and killed an Israeli truck driver. For the Israelis, it was the worst one-day toll since fighting broke out six and a half weeks ago. On a visit to Chicago, Prime Minister Ehud Barak condemned the sniper attacks, and his aides were quoted by Israeli state radio

ments in and out of Palestiniangoverned areas as army forces scoured the West Bank and Gaza for suspects and witnesses to the sniper attacks. The violence underscored the failure of President Bill Clinton’s meetings with Barak Sunday and with Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader, Thursday to tamp down the Mideast conflict, which has claimed more than 200 lives. Most of those killed have been Palestinians. In the violence Monday, Palestin-

ian gunmen, while driving on a road

north of Ramallah often used by Jewish settlers in the West Bank, opened fire on an Israeli car and an Israeli army bus that was carrying soldiers to nearby military posts. A woman in the car was killed almost instantly. Two soldiers in the bus were also killed, and at least six were seriously wounded, according to army spokesmen, who promised retaliation. “It was an ambush,” said Col. Yarden Vatikai. “It was the first time we have had three Israelis killed in one attack. It showed that this is no longer a popular uprising, if it ever was, but a terror and guerrilla war.”

After a week in which United States citizens sat on the edge of their seats to learn who will be the country’s next chief executive, the tension and indecision has left many in Durham frustrated and a little confused. “I’m really confused because this hasn’t happened before,” said Durham resident Katie Tamey, enjoying an afternoon snack at Durham’s Northgate Mall. Though Kenneth Woods said it is clear that something went wrong in Palm Beach County, he’s not quite sure what happened. “Palm Beach is a totally Democratic county and Pat Buchanan got 3,000 votes or something in that county,” noted Woods, who was proudly wearing a Gore pin. “What’s going on is beyond me. Was there fraud or a mis-tabulation? I don’t know, but it seems so.”

Durham resident M.E. Cox said he had little sympathy for the Floridians who may have accidentally voted for the wrong candidate. “Everybody makes mistakes,” he said. “What you do is you eat your mistakes and let it go. If we tried to eliminate all the mistakes in this election, we’d be here 12

Cox said he felt that Democrats, through law suits, were trying too hard to get their candidate elected. “The Gore camp is trying to get him in some way, by hoof or by crook.” While some pinned blame on Bush for filing “frivolous” lawsuits, especially with regard to blocking a hand recount, Tarney said both candidates

have acted irresponsibly since Wednesday morning. “I think they have been kind of childish,” she said. “It’s been kind of like ‘Ha! ha! Fm the winner.’ ‘No, wait! I am. Gotcha.’ It’s been like a game of tag or something.” Smith hopes the country can move past the current wrangling. “We can always agree to disagree, but the countiy should always rally around the president even if you didn’t vote for him,” said Smith.

But Dan Kitterell, who is currently

Anonymous doctor gives SIM to arthritis research By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle

Little by little—or million by million—the Medical Center is inching closer to its $550 million goal in the Campaign for Duke. An anonymous, retired physician and alumnus of the School of Medicine set up a $1 million fund to boost research at the Duke Arthritis Center, Medical Center officials announced yesterday. Life income gifts are managed by Duke, which must pay set earnings each

year to the donor and the beneficiary for their lifetimes, when the principal transfers to the college. The gift will be used to advance research on polymyalgia rheumatica, also known as PMR, a condition characterized by inflammations, low blood cell count and weight loss, as well as pain, fatigue and stiffness in the joints. ‘This gift will greatly help our research efforts on [polymyalgia rheumatica] and related inflammatory diseases,” Dr. David

Pisetsky, director of the arthritis center and chief of the division of rheumatology, allergy and clinical immunology, said in a statement. The causes of polymyalgia rheumati-

ca, which primarily affects women over

50 years of age, are unknown. Some, however, theorize that it may be an auto-immune disorder. The disease is also sometimes associated with giant

cell arthritis, which can cause blindness, strokes and other ailments.

“This will be an inspiration to our researchers, and it is an example of the tremendous impact our alumni can have on Duke’s ability to find new solutions to diseases that have long puzzled the medical community,” Dr. Ralph Snyderman, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of the Duke University Health System said in a statement. So far, the Medical Center has raised more than $375 million toward its cam-

paign goal.

Election argument escalates to bottle-, fist-throwing fight From staff reports

“Gore won, Gore” from a window as members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity walked by the Sigma Nu section. Someone threw a bottle at the window, injuring a student, who responded by punching the bottle-thrower in the face. Campus Police officers said the incident was influenced by alcohol. By the time officers arrived, 35 students were gathered. Police cleared the area and

did not press any charges, but the incident was referred to the Undergraduate Judicial Board.

Officials do not expect a ticket price increase next year

IRON DUKES from page 3 Winters said athletic officials plan to review the policy again this year; Bob Garda, the member of the Athletic Advisory Board who led the price study, said that based on initial numbers, further scaling is unlikely. Still, given the high demand for seats in the stadium, the annual donation required to secure any seats—currently s3,ooo—is likely to rise to $4,000 or >

Duke plans efforts to recruit and retain Latino employees

ences,” said committee member Michael Palmer, director of community affairs. “Different cultures approach problems differently.... Duke is trying to approach these cultural barriers and work through them. We all need education about each other.” While University officials said confronting cultural issues is nothing new, Latino cultural sensitivity has not previously been a part of those discussions. “A lot of our training has been done in the blackwhite paradigm,” said Dickson. “Right now, [Latinos] are still a small group here at Duke, but we have to acknowledge that the workforce at Duke is changing.” Administrators have already begun looking at the University’s current employee training system as a means to prepare the University for the changing face of the Duke workforce. To address the largest barrier that exists between Latinos and other employees—language—Adams hopes to have a series of classes available for Latino employees to improve their English and non-Latino employees to improve their Spanish. If all goes to plan, the classes will be offered through the Office of Continuing Education beginning in the summer, when administrators believe employees have more time. “The change I would hope to make is to increase the

capability of each employee to communicate with one another,” said Adams. Currently, the University offers a variety of workshops to teach diversity and sensitivity. In addition, a general training course specifically for managers will debut at the Medical Center in January. This course will incorporate all of the University’s guiding principles including diversity. “We believe that diversity is an important value to understand and honor, regardless of whether you’re a manager or not, and regardless of fluctuations in the Duke employee population,” said Deborah Horvitz, director of communications in human resources. Ben Reese, assistant vice president for cross-cultural relations, said the workshops the Office of Institutional Equity currently provides address general issues of diversity, and in particular, issues of Latino

employment. “In almost every workshop I conduct, people are aware of the Latino issue,” Reese said. “We are all interested in eliminating the barriers that exist with Latino employment and mobility.” Latino representation at all levels and the ability of Latino employees to ascend within the University’s

employment system is another issue administrators said they will review.

Like black employees, Latinos tend to be disproportionately represented in the lower paying jobs the University offers. Adams said employee mobility will be exceptionally difficult for some who occupy such jobs, because of external complications. In an effort to counteract these factors, Dickson said that OIE has begun creating a list of national Latino professional organizations that they can recruit and advertise from. In addition Dickson said administrators will begin outreach efforts to local Latino communities to ensure that they are aware ofall employment opportunities at the University. Adams said her office is investigating the possibility ofincreasing the number of University partnerships with local Latino community organizations like “Selfhelp,” which provide language and skill training. The University already has a number of partnerships within the Durham community—including those with the Latino Community Credit Union and a Durham-based Latino multicultural center. Administrators said these initiatives have been helpful in the University’s effort to recruit Latinos. “We work through our partnerships to have an impact on the Latino community,” said Palmer. “In many communities the best advertising is word-of-mouth. I think this could be the case with Duke.”

“The issue of allowing same-sex unions in the Chapel has nothing to do with religion.” Jillian Johnson, Gothic Queers’ co-president The Dear member of the Duke Community:

Campaign for Duke’s Chapel

November 14, 2000

We are writing to you about the issue of President Nan Keohane and DSG forcing same-sex unions to be performed in the Chapel. As you may know, President Keohane has resolved to decide this issue immediately without the benefit of the Duke Community’s input. DSG president Jordan Bazinsky, with no legitimate mandate (i.e., he did not campaign for election on this issue), drafted a memo on October 2nd in which he called on the University to end what he termed “the blatant discrimination” against homosexuals. The HeraldSun reported that Mr. Bazinsky said that this memo was not partisan, but was “really a factual report.” The following is an example of the “factual” nature of his letter: “...homosexual couples should have the same opportunities to express their love and commitment for each other as heterosexuals should.” This leads us to wonder what Mr, Bazinsky might deem an “opinion.” Both President Keohane and Mr. Bazinsky assert that the president’s hand-picked Committee “sounds fairly balanced.” Given Mr. Bazinsky’s understanding of “the facts,” one might wonder what he considers “balanced.” The Committee is chaired by Rev. Anne Hodges-Copple, a woman who has stated, “I am glad that the [current Chapel] policy is being questioned....! think it’s vitally important for particularly Christians who happen to be homosexual to find away to commit themselves to each other in the eyes of God.” Another Committee member, Vice Provost Judith Ruderman, has already given her public approval of homosexual unions in the Freeman Center for Jewish Life. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Center director Karen Krahulik, another “unbiased” member of Keohane’s Committee, has stressed that she wants to “alter the climate [of Duke] so it’s more accepting of people.... People identifying themselves as L, G, B or T come to the center first, but we wanted to give them more safe spaces to go to.” You might also want to reflect upon the thoughts of University Trustee and Committee member Rev. Charles Smith, who—believing incorrectly Mr. Bazinsky to be the voice of the entire student body—said, “Any time your student government president says to the Board of Trustees that this is something that the students feel should be done, you have to take that pretty seriously.” Given that another Committee member, Sally Dickson, hails from the Office of Institutional Equity—a hotbed of radical policies on campus—and another, Sr. Assoc. Dean Gerald Wilson, is an openly acknowledged leftist, it becomes apparent that the Committee might not be so “balanced” after all. The above members already constitute a majority of the Committee; and we have reason to believe that not even one conservative has been appointed. Are we now expected to believe, as President Keohane asserted, that she had no knowledge of the committee members’ opinions on the matter?

Mr. Bazinsky and the Gothic Queers have insisted that this issue pertains to discrimination. However, Chapel Dean Will Willimon has publicly rejected this contention, viewing this issue (correctly), rather, as theological. Obviously, the Gothic Queers have no concern for the rights of religious students. In fact, Gothic Queers’ co-president Jillian Johnson had the audacity to declare, “The issue of allowing same-sex unions in the Chapel has nothing to do with religion [!]” It is unfortunate that Ms. Johnson, Mr. Bazinsky and (presumably) President Keohane have no regard for religious freedom on our campus. In a University awash in sentiments championing “diversity,” it is appalling that some care so little about the rights of others. Is there no place—no “safe spaces”—for those who follow the precepts of the Bible to worship freely on campus?

Size doesn’t matter

The proposed World War II Memorial should not impose on the National Mall Saturday, thousands of World War II veterans and their relatives gathered just west of the Washington Monument to break ground for the proposed World War II Memorial. But instead of digging into the ground, President Bill Clinton and other dignitaries were shoveling dirt from a sandbox. The stumbling block has been a lawsuit filed Oct. 2 by concerned preservationists, who claim that the proposed site—the National Mali’s Rainbow Pool—was not on the list of potential places for the memorial, which would take up an entire football-field worth of the National Mall. It is time we built a memorial for our World War II veterans, but the middle of the National Mall is the wrong place to put any memorial as gigantic as the proposed one. A memorial dedicated to veterans of World War II is long overdue. Our greatest generation, which fought and died for every American’s freedom, has defined our way of life. They kept the light glowing in the temple of democracy and deserve recognition for their incredible sacrifices. But the proposed memorial, which would consume 7.4 acres of our sacred Mall, is not the right choice. The 56 17-foot pillars and immense stone arches will only be imposing on a place many say has defined our nation’s storied history. The Mall was created as a gathering space for all Americans. It has been the site of numerous mass political demonstrations, including several landmark marches on Washington. It has been a site many say makes them proud to be an American, and it should remain that way. It is not entirely unreasonable to build a World War II memorial on the Mall, but for the sake of the Mall, the memorial must be smaller. The size of a memorial does not directly correlate with its level of meaning; in fact, the Mall’s smallest memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, is incredibly powerful for millions of Americans, despite the harsh criticism that the memorial’s size and style initially received. Furthermore, the World War II memorial could be placed elsewhere. It does not need to obstruct the natural beauty of the Mall. Some veterans are pushing for a relocation of the memorial to a place that would recognize their selfless dedication without destroying the aura of a place that symbolizes everything for which American veterans died: freedom. Proponents of the memorial have argued that contrary efforts are only delaying an inevitable process and taking away from the experience of the 1,000 World War II veterans that die each day. But it is important to memorialize these exceptional citizens in the proper way, in one that does not divide the nation and one that does not destroy a national treasure they fought to protect. We need to honor our veterans, but we also must protect the National Mall and all that it means to the Greatest Generation, our generation and generations to come.

Inclusive policy requires tolerance from everyone One core question runs through the current debate over whether or not same-sex unions should be permitted in Duke Chapel: How do we honor the needs of a pluralistic

university

community

that holds divergent views on same-sex unions and, more broadly, on homosexuality? Earlier this semester, I attended a public forum at the Chapel, where conservative Christians described their concern that a new Chapel policy would force their congregations to perform same-sex unions. It was then that I realized how many members of the University community have been misled into thinking that a Chapel policy permitting same-sex unions would require all denominations to perform such ceremonies. Nothing could be further from the truth.

From the start of this discussion years ago, those calling for the Chapel to permit same-sex unions have done so out of their commitment to creating a more inclusive policy, one that leaves room for every denomination affiliated with the Chapel to bless unions in accordance with its own denominational practices. Such a policy would allow gay-affirming denominations like the United Church ofChrist and the Unitarian Universalists to perform same-sex union ceremonies, while leaving room for those denominations that remain strongly opposed to such rituals to perform marriages but not same-sex unions. as Scott Certainly, Finkelstein suggested in his Nov. 9 letter, such a policy would offend some members of the University community.

But Finkelstein and others must recognize that the current policy deeply offends those of us who believe in the fundamental equality of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, and who further believe in the value of religious pluralism. Under a new policy allowing samesex unions at the Chapel, many of us might be offended by the persistence of conservative denominations in their refusal to perform such rituals. Yet we recognize this as each denomination’s independent prerogative. For the Chapel to have a truly inclusive policy, we’ll all have to tolerate individual denominational practices with which we might disagree.

Common origins tie us together, like it or not Study concludes that 95 percent of Europeans descended from 10 ancestors 20 percent of the men surveyed were descendants of a “recent” wave of immigrants 10,000 years ago.)

An unexamined life Edward Benson OK, here’s my off-hand prediction on the Big Story: With litigation over recounts, the Vice President A1 Gore and Gov. George W. Bush campaigns will lock up the electoral college, and the whole thing will be thrown to the U.S. Congress. There, George Bush will be elected President by the House, and an evenly split Senate will elect Joe Lieberman Vice-President. In his last official act, A1 Gore will cast the deciding Senate vote. Had enough of all that? Me too. So on to the real news from last week: Roughly 95 percent of Europeans are descended from 10 ancestors. Eighty percent are descended from several very closely related ancestors who lived roughly 40,000 years ago. These striking conclusions should awaken all of us to our fundamental connections.

A study appearing in last week’s issue of the journal Nature used a comparison of the Y chromosome, unique to men and passed only from father to son, to track the interrelatedness of over 1,000 men from all over Europe. This phylogenetic analysis allowed an estimation of the possibility of a common ancestor. Once that possibility was firmly established for nearly all of the samples, researchers were able to reconstruct a sort of family tree between those men. Then, given known rates of variation in that DNA over time, it was a fairly simple matter to compute the approximate time of 80 percent of the men’s common ancestry. (The remaining

Ballots, Bush, Baker 111 and N ixon, Esq. Off the record and on the QT Martin Barna “The purpose of our national election is to establish a ‘Constitutional government/ not unending legal wrangling,” said former Secretary ofState James Baker 111, Friday, Nov. 10, 2000 ‘This morning, we have asked that the United

States District Court for the Southern District of Florida...” Baker 111, again, Nov. 11, 2000, announcing a lawsuit to stop four Florida counties from hand counting their ballots. What a difference a day makes. Hypocrisy? Big Time. Even after losing in federal court yesterday, Baker will at this rate be before the UN. Security Council tonight and speaking with the International War Crimes Tribunal on Wednesday morning. The Hauge has no electoral votes. Turning on CNN these days is like turning on Saturday Night Live. First, watch the vote counters hold their ballots up to the light. See them stare and peek at the hanging, pregnant and dimpled chads. Ask yourself, “Who thought it would be fun to call a dangling bit of democracy a boy’s first name? Is that sexist? Couldn’t they have called them Barbara? If these precious chads, who might determine our next president, were called Barbaras, would the Democrats claim bias?” Imagine Daley and Christopher, Esq. offering up their explanations of why the dangling ballot-iciples should be renamed Moeshas or Susans. Or, given their party’s recent success, Hillarys. Cut to Baker 111 giving a press conference where he

calls the Democrats “ridiculous” for worrying about the Barbaras. Then witness Baker 111 filing a federal lawsuit the next day, to challenge Daley’s proposed renaming of the Hillarys. Politics has entered its silly season. This happens every once in a while, and last time it was not as rosy as popular history wants us to believe. Forty years ago it was Nixon accusing Kennedy of voter-fraud. Oh, excuse me, I mean Nixon’s surrogates. It can be a real pain to dispel popular history like this, but the evidence remains—Nixon was not the gracious loser he wanted us to think he was. I know it is hard to imagine an ungracious Nixon, but bear with me. Within a couple days of the election, Nixon operatives (the Baker Ill’s of their time) sought recounts in 11 states that Kennedy won by a hair. The FBI was contacted and grand juries were empaneled. In Texas, a recount was sought in Federal Court. The Secret Nixon Team filed motions, but they were thrown out of court because the judge cited that he did not have jurisdiction (Sound familiar?). There was a full recount in Cook County, 111. (Did they use butterfly ballots or a hand count?) Initially, Kennedy won Illinois by 4,500 votes. The Cook County recount turned up 983 votes for Nixon, and also showed that Nixon’s votes were overcounted in most of the county’s precincts. The GOP again filed a lawsuit in Federal Court, just to see it dismissed. Later, the GOP filed a complaint with the majority-Republican Illinois Board of Elections: They too dismissed Nixon’s dying attempt to become president. All the hanging chads and swinging Barbaras netted Nixon nothing. He later would claim that he had no idea that these efforts were going on, on his behalf. Wait a second, the guy who kept a list of enemies let this imaginary fraud slide by? Yeah, sure, and Baker 111 is opposed to lawsuits. He’s got a bridge he’d like to sell, t00.... Before I continue, I must point out one detail from

1960: Following a mandatory recount, Hawaii switched from Nixon to Kennedy. His efforts cost him three electors. They must have been his enemies. In 1961, an Illinois special prosecutor agreed with

the Illinois Election Board’s findings—the only fraud was between Nixon’s ears.

So, what does this have to do with the price of potato pancakes in West Palm Beach County? Let’s consult Baker HI: “What if we insisted on recounts in other states that are very close? For example, in Wisconsin, lowa and [if we don’t win] New Mexico....” There it is, the GOP is at it already—the ballots in New Mexico have been sequestered at the request of the Bush campaign. Bush currently holds a four-vote margin in New Mexico. This counting, according to the Associated Press, involved a limited hand counting of damaged ballots. Baker Ill’s lawsuit must be pending. Baker Ill’s ruse of recounts in lowa and Wisconsin (and Oregon) are just that—attempts to divert the attention of the public from Florida’s crisis to fraudulent fraud. Gore’s margins of victory in those states range

from 6,000 to 7,000 votes. Compared to Florida—where 6 million ballots revealed a margin of victory of less than 2,000 votes in the first count—these efforts in the Hawkeye, Badger and Beaver states are truly grasping at straws (Combined, those three states have a smaller population than Florida). Not exactly Big Time. Daley and Christopher have now countered with their own suit, trying to keep Florida’s Republican Secretary of State from effectively shutting down all recount efforts by demanding that each Florida county report their final tally by 5 p.m. Tuesday. She has the power to keep it open longer, but Bush—l mean Baker 111, I mean Nixon—won’t let her. Martin Barna is a Trinity junior and editorial page editor of The Chronicle.

Women’s golf tops Bulldogs in Florida By THOMAS STEINBERGER The Chronicle

Fortunately for Duke’s topranked women’s golf team, at least someone in Florida knows how to break a tie. After advancing past Pepperdine and Southern California, the Blue Devils played to a 2.5-2.5 draw with Georgia Sunday at the

National Match Play Team Championships in Estero, Fla. Duke, though, was awarded the tiebreaker and its fourth victory in five tournaments by winning five more total holes than the Bulldogs. “For people who like to win,

Garcia-Estrada made a bit of a statement in her Saturday match with USC’s Candie Rung, who had come into the season rated the top player in the nation. “She just crushed her,” said an impressed coach Brooks after the Spaniard routed Rung seven and five. “I had no bogeys, I never lost a hole [and] I hit my irons really close,” Garcia-Estrada said. “I just felt good, you don’t always expect that to happen.” The sophomore saved her best for the finals, however, draining an eight-footer on the 18th hole to convert halve her match with Georgia’s Summer Sirmons. Missing the putt would have lost the tournament for Duke, but Garcia-Estrada

MARIA GARCIA-ESTRADA was key in the Blue Devils' victory at the National Match Play Team Championships last weekend.

Devils in their final tournament of the fall season. Duke was also playing its

first match play tournament this year, a format Brooks believes suits the tight-knit Blue Devils quite well. Since two pairings play in the same foursome, players will always have a teammate in their group, another feature the coach enjoys. “They can share ideas about shots, so there is a little bit more of a team aspect about it,” Brooks said. “It makes for an exciting competition.”

Brooks’ team was able to on a tough course, the new West Bay Club designed by the notoriously demanding Pete Dye. “The greens were very hard, as new greens are, and that made it difficult,” said Brooks. “I thought the team handled it very well.” The Blue Devils have been dominant this fall, going 4-1 and establishing themselves as frontrunners to win the programs secwas confident. ond national championship in “I’ve had that situation three years this spring. before,” said Garcia-Estrada.

Swim teams move to 2 1 after sweeping ODU By CLINTON McHUGH The Chronicle

In what was supposed to be a close meet, the men’s and women’s swimming teams

smashed Old Dominion Saturday. The women jumped ahead quickly, leading 66-27 at the first break on their way to a 146-97 victory. The men’s team struggled early in the meet and held only a sevenpoint lead going into the break, but swam away to a 143-96 win with a strong lineup in the later events. Both teams improved their record to 2-1 with the sweep, while dropping ODU’s teams to 1-2. “This is a big win for us,” said coach Bob Thompson. “I can’t remember the last time we beat the Old Dominion men’s team. We’re obviously really excited about it.” Men’s senior captain Jack Newhouse shared his coach’s enthusiasm. “All in all the team did very well,” Newhouse said. “We came out really fast in the medley relay, two seconds faster than last year’s best time. After that we had a little trouble taking firsts, but a couple of guys came through with big wins near the end.”

The Blue Devil men won all of the last Although no records were broken by the four events, widening their lead to an women at Old Dominion, the Blue Devils insurmountable margin.

By MICHAELJACOBSON The Chronicle After several years of paying its dues, the Duke wrestling team is finally hoping to return the favor. If this past Saturday’s tournament in West Virginia is any indication of the season to come, chances are that the Blue Devils will be the surprise of the ACC. In one

ofthe strongest early-bird tournaments in the country, Duke did more than just hold its own. “The tournament was excellent. There was amazing competition here,” 149-pound junior Jason Gorski said of the field that contained perennial powers Michigan and Penn State. “But everyone walked

away happy.” Everyone on the team was able to win at least once in the toughest competition that the Blue

Devils will face all season, making the whole team optimistic for the possibility that lies in the dualmeet season to come. “We’re working hard and strong all the way up the lineup,” Gorski said. “We’re going to turn some heads.” The most difficult thing for the team in the beginning of the season will be trying to shuffle a lineup that is extremely deep in some weight classes.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Carlos Boozer has been unstoppable in the preseason, scoring 48 points on 21-of-27 shooting in only 47 minutes. He will be facing off against Terence RozierByrd. a senior receiving his first career start. Putting these two against each other is illegal in some states. Oh yeah, the Blue Devils have Shane Battier too. Princeton’s Ed Persia made 310 three-pointers in high school and is more than willing to take the deep shot when open. But expect Jason Williams and Chris Duhon to take this opportunity to show off their defense by shutting down the Princeton passing lanes, thus stalling what little offense the Tigers have. Duke has seven McDonald's All-Americans, while

Princeton is not even allowed to give athletic scholarships. The Duke players have talked in the preseason about how they don’t have to conserve energy like they did last year, when the team only went six deep. This is not what the Tigers want to hear. Duke has not faced a team like Princeton in a very long time, so it will be interesting to see how they respond to the challenge. Still, the Blue Devils are used to playing in front of a rowdy crowd and a national audience, while the Tigers are inexperienced at both.

No matter how good a system Princeton has, the game will come down to talent —Duke has it, Princeton doesn’t. It will be interesting to see who controls the tempo, since Williams will try to push the ball and exploit his speed advantage while the Tigers will try and slow the game down.
