Undergraduate DSG elects Ensign exec. VP body may grow By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Provost Peter Lange and other high-

ranking administrators are considering eventually boosting the engineering school’s enrollment by up to 200, but they must first expand facilities and services. By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle Now that the Pratt School of Engineering has secured the funding and finalized the plan for a large-scale faculty and facilities expansion, topranking University officials are trying to engineer away to get the school an additional 100 to 200

undergraduates. “Our initial thoughts are that as we expand the engineering faculty, we will want to train more students in these new and exciting areas,” Provost Peter Lange said. “There is a discussion that down the road, there may be an expansion of somewhere between 100 to 200 students to meet the school’s needs, but there are serious problems that have to be resolved.” Although these discussions have been tabled temporarily, Lange continues to investigate the repercussions of admitting an additional 25 to 50 students to each entering class of the Pratt School of Engineering. Administrators believe that with

the significant faculty growth proposed by engineering school dean Kristina Johnson, there may be an opportunity to boost its relatively small size of about 900 students. The engineering school’s long-range plan calls for increasing the school’s faculty from 71 to 120 over the next decade, with emphasis on scholars of nanotechnology, information technology and bioengineering.

Last night’s Duke Student Government meeting swept out the old and brought in the new, with the fanfare of a much-anticipated January election for a replacement executive vice president. In a contest of four candidates, DSG legislators voted junior Drew Ensign to fill the position junior Daryn Dodson abdicated. With the unusual mid-year switch, Ensign acknowledged his role as executive vice president will, by necessity, be different than the experiences of those taking the office at the beginning of fall semester. “Because there are only two-anda-half months left, there cannot be any time for transition or awkwardness,” Ensign said. “[The new executive vice president] needs to get off to a running start.” Ensign, who boasted the most DSG experience, became a legislator his freshman year, vice president for academic affairs his sophomore year and the Student Organization Finance Committee chair earlier this year. Ensign ran on his experience, which became a pivotal factor in the election against opponents first-year legislator Alex Bama, a freshman, and juniors David Cummings, a second-year legislator, and Henry Ho, DSG treasurer and a legislator last year. “I want you to judge me on how involved I have been this semester and what I have shown my commitmerit to be,” Ensign said. As his first order of business, EnSee DSG on page 6

Library toughens overdue penalties for recalled books By MATT BRADLEY The Chronicle

LIBRARY USERS LIKE freshman Morgan Qualls (right) will now need to return recalled books kept past their original due dates within seven days or they will face severe fines.

For many students, the libraries are quiet places to study, check out books and fulfill other“requirements.” However, a new library policy may change the way undergraduates, graduate students and faculty think about ignoring library rules. In an effort to encourage library users to return books more promptly, library officials have tightened late book policies on recalled books. The new policies have decreased the grace period for recalled book returns from 10 days to seven days and increased fines after the grace period from $1 to $3 per day. Students who do not return recalled books after the seven-day grace period will now also face a suspension of library lending privileges. Books can only be recalled if a user has kept a book longer than the initial check-out period. “This is really a very small percentage of users that this will apply to,” said Ashley Jackson, head of access services for Perkins Library. “The Perkins Library system’s long loan periods work only if people return recalled books promptly.” The changes, which took effect Jan. 10, have been in the works for a year and half, waiting for approval from the University’s Library Council, which includes graduate, undergraduate and faculty representatives. The last change to the late book policy was made during the early 19905. See LIBRARY on page 5

KIGALI, Rwanda Congolese officials insisted Wednesday that President Laurent Kabila was alive, but foreign officials said the Congolese were just buying time to put a succession in place before acknowledging that Kabila had died in a gun battle Tuesday at the presidential palace.

The Zimbabwe state news agency, Ziana, then reported that Kabila’s body was being held in the capital, Harare, and would be flown back to Congo for burial. “Apparently the president died on the plane to Harare,” Kikaya Bin Karubi, Congo’s ambassador to Zimbabwe, said in an interview there Wednesday. “He was coming for medical treatment. He was still alive.” But only two hours later, when officials in Congo denied Kabila had died, Karubi retracted his statement. See KABILA on page 5

Police officers directed traffic and store owners turned to pocket calculators. The rotating, hour-long blackouts across the northern half of the state were halted in the afternoon but were to resume statewide by evening. Los Angeles was considered safe because it has its own utility, but as many as two million households were expected to be affected before the blackouts end at midnight. Utilities avoided cutting power to essential services such as hospitals and airports. Citing security reasons, they declined to identify exactly which areas lost power. “If you knew power was out in certain areas, you’d also know that alarms were out and security cameras were out,” said Ron Low, spokesperson for Pacific Gas & Electric Co., whose territory stretches 500 miles.

SAS reacts to Mexican labor strike � University officials say they will allow the Fair Labor Association to respond to the situation before taking any more action. By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

In response to a labor dispute at a factory in southern Mexico this week, Students Against Sweatshops yesterday sent a letter to top University officials and men’s basketball coach Mike Rrzyzewski demanding that they take action on behalf of the workers. SAS claims that last week’s events violate the labor codes of Nike, Duke, Mexico and the International Labor Organization. The Kukdong factory, located in Puebla, makes Nike sweatshirts, some of which bear the Duke logo.

“Through this whole time, the Nike head office really has not acknowledged any of these violations,” said junior Snehal Patel, a member of SAS. “They haven’t acknowledged the violations of environment and safety laws—the violation oflaws for workers to organize independently. We’re calling on our administration to push Nike to acknowledge these conditions and the workers’ demands.” According to statements from United Students Against Sweatshops, the conflict began Jan. 9, when about 850 workers went on strike. The protest began in response to the firing of at least five workers who had complained about low wages and rotten food in the cafeteria. The striking workers formed the Kukdong Workers’ Coalition to replace a union closely tied to the leadership of the Korean-owned factory. USAS claimed Mexican police assaulted workers and their families last Thursday See SWEATSHOPS on page 6 �

The Chronicle

Before the Durham City Council cuts its size from 13 members to seven, it needs to decide how to redraw its ward lines, and whether or not it can complete that process in time for the November 2001 elections. The council, which currently consists of the mayor, six at-large members and one member from each of Durham’s six wards, plans to halve the number of at-

large and ward members and redraw the boundaries to create three wards.

One of the main questions is whether or not to delay the restructuring until

“I just think that flies in the face of the mandate [to reduce the council] we were given,” she said. The council must also decide how much of the redrawing process to leave up to citizens. Mayor Pro Tern Howard Clement proposed delegating the redrawing to a citizens’ committee in order to prevent political maneuvering, then letting the council vote on their finished recommendation.

NCCU chancellor search embattled Voters may

From staff and wire reports

The faculty senate at North Carolina Central University has asked University of North Carolina System President Molly Broad to release the names of the three finalists to fill the NCCU chancellor’s position and bring them to campus for interviews. The chancellor search committee has argued that it must keep the names confidential, as promised to the VT VT™™ candidates. Members of the com- T it|c ills T Y Ml\ mittee said they attract and retain better candidates if they do not release names. Faculty Senate Chair George Conklin, who served on the search committee, wrote a letter to Broad supporting openness. William Smith, chair of the NCCU Board of Trustees, is expected to meet with Broad later this week, but he says he understands the need for secrecy. The new chancellor, expected to be announced in February or March, will replace the retiring Julius Chambers. ,

NASA officials have selected a runway at Wilmington airport to serve as the emergency landing strip for a space shuttle on its way to the International Space Station in the event of massive engine failure. The airport will be one of four sites along the East Coast where the shuttle could land after leaving Cape Canaveral in Florida.

The shuttle has traditionally flown east over the Atlantic Ocean after liftoff, but a series of missions to the space station over the next several years will require a more northerly trajectory.

Students, faculty seem pleased with library’s plan &

LIBRARY from page 1

Associate Professor of English Julie Tetel said she appreciates the change, because in the past, her students have had problems accessing recalled books. “I think it’s appropriate to find measures to get people to cough up the books,” said Tetel. “We’re a community.” Students are still able to renew books as often as they wish for up to a semester, and faculty can do so for up to a year.

Zimbabwe government officials declined to comment on the news agency’s report, promising only that they would release a statement Thursday after receiving a full briefing from Congo’s government. “The only people with authentic information are the Congolese,” Defense Minister Moven Mahachi said in an interview. “I don’t want to say anything about

the matter.” Little more was certain Wednesday, the day after a gun battle reportedly erupted between Kabila and members of his armed forces inside the presidential palace in Kinshasa. It was not clear if the battle was an attempt at a coup. Several outside officials said the fight appeared to result from an argument between the president and his generals, who seem to have grown increasingly dissatisfied with Kabila. Either way, cabinet ministers announced Wednes-

day that Maj. Gen. Joseph Kabila, a son of the president who already leads Congo’s armed forces, would become interim president. Joseph Kabila, who was also rumored to have been wounded in the gun battle, was not seen in public Wednesday, though an undated film of him was broadcast on television. “Until President Kabila has recovered, and to ensure stability, the government has decided to give command of the government and military to Maj. Gen. Joseph Kabila,” Dominique Sakombi Inongo, a government spokesperson, said after a cabinet meeting in Kinshasa. Thirty-one-year-old Joseph Kabila is little known outside the military, and is said to be a more private person and without the charisma that his father, a longtime, if mostly unsuccessful, guerrilla fighter, could display. Raised outside Congo when his father was in exile, he has faced criticism for not being able to speak Lingala, the main language of Congo. The troops of six outside nations are on Congo’s soil—and it is far from clear what effect Kabila’s death may have on the foreign intervention both for and against him.

j i

In 1996 Rwanda and Uganda, on Congo’s eastern border, supported Kabila in a push to rid the nation, then known as Zaire, of its long-time dictator, Mobutu Sese Seko. Mobutu fell the next year, and Kabila took power. But Rwanda and Uganda quickly grew disenchanted with Kabila. In August 1998, Rwanda and Uganda supported another rebellion, this time against Kabila. As rebel soldiers moved in on Kinshasa, Kabila was rescued by Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia and, for several months,

soldiers from Chad. The assistance offered over the last day by Zimbabwe highlights the powerful role that the country has continued to play in supporting Kabila’s government. Zimbabwe has deployed the largest army to fight alongside Kabila’s forces: Altogether, 12,000 Zimbabwean soldiers are fighting the rebels. (Angola and Namibia each have 1,000 to 2,000 soldiers there, foreign analysts say.) As a reward for its support, Kabila had allowed Zimbabwe’s generals to exploit Congo’s timber, gold and diamonds. The profitable alliance also led to a close relationship between Kabila and President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

sign plans to meet individually with all 50 DSG legislators to see how they are progressing in their roles within the organization. He will also meet later this week with DSG President Jordan Bazinsky to discuss his new position. “I’ve known Drew for awhile and know he will do a good job,” said Bazinsky, a senior. “He knows what my expectations and DSG’s expectations are for the job.” A friend of Ensign’s, Dodson also promised to help Ensign ease into the office he just left. “I will be there to monitor the transition and make sure he has all the tools necessary to be the very best executive vice president he

has the potential to be,” Dodson said. Dodson, who resigned after struggling all semester to effectively run DSG meetings, said last night that by relieving himself of the position’s 15-hour-per-week time commitment, he could devote more work to his other priorities. He is assuming a new position called intercolle-

giate liaison, for which he will travel to about 15 academically competitive schools this semester to meet and brainstorm with other university students and student government officials. “I think I am in a position now where I can be most effective for the organization,” Dodson said. “There’s a lot of excitement in the transition to

be a more effective component ofDSG.” DSG legislators also elected eight new members from 15 candidates to fill seats left by fall’s turnover. All the new and old members received two pep-talks before the election—one from Bazinsky and an unexpected version from senior Jasmine French. French’s comments surrounded a recent 300-person survey that she said showed that many students believe that DSG must communicate more with the student body to be a truly representative organization. “It’s humbling to know what people feel about you,” French said. “We have three months left to make improvements this year.”

But Vada Manager, Nike’s director of global issues management, denied the allegations and said that a mediator was already in place to resolve labor issues. ‘The factory has not fired anyone,” he said. “That is clear, and what we don’t need right now is anyone to politicize a situation, making it difficult to stabilize the factory.” He added that workers at the year-old factory had reported in the past that they were generally content with working conditions. And he pointed to a satisfactory examination ofthe factory by a student group last year as part of Nike’s Transparency 101 program designed to address labor issues.

Boosting class size affects programs across the board P STUDENT BODY from page

But adding students will prove to be a complicated task for the University. In 1998, a record number of students accepted admission to the University and severely stretched resources across the board. To prepare for that class, which had 70 more students than normal, University administrators were forced to convert study space into dorm rooms and double rooms into triples. If the Board of Trustees approve an increase at one of its next two meetings, the University will again have to address the constraint of finding living space for students. In addition to increasing beds on East and West campuses, administrators will also have to identify and relieve the stresses placed on student facilities and services. “If you’re going to begin to look at increasing the number of students, you also have to look at the number of student services, such as counseling,” said interim Vice President of Student Affairs Jim Clack. “Also,

if those students admitted have special needs or, for example, are minorities, you also have to look at services such as intercultural affairs.” Lange said the increase will not take place until the University solves current issues of housing, social space and facilities. Administrators must not only consider the physical strain additional students could bring, but also intangible factors like the maintenance of current admissions standards. “With the current applicant pool, we wouldn’t be able to maintain the quality of the incoming class,” said Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions. “If we want to maintain the level of selectivity and quality with a larger student body, we would need a larger applicant pool. That would mean we would have to be more aggressive in recruiting.” Administrators are also considering a proposal to transfer 25 spots currently reserved for Trinity College applicants to the Pratt School of Engineering.

That proposal, however, has not received an enthusiastic reception. “If the decision were made that some of the spaces from Pratt would come from Trinity, I don’t think it would have a dramatic effect, but it would limit our ability to admit some of the students we would like,” Guttentag said. “It would definitely reduce our flexibility.” Dean of Trinity College Bob Thompson also argued against the plan, claiming that the tuition dollars lost from reallocating spaces would hurt education in Trinity College. Pratt School Associate Dean Phil Jones agreed, saying that gains in engineering are not worth the risk to quality of education in Trinity. On average, engineering undergraduates take half of their courses from Trinity College. “I think we wouldn’t be doing ourselves a favor,” Jones said. “I think part of the appeal to many of our students is that we’re in a liberal arts college, and I think it would really hurt Trinity to do this.”

No recount this time There were flaws with the methods used in the 2000 Census, but the current count should stand

The

census stops here. Two weeks ago, the Census Bureau released its 2000 census data. North Carolina gained an extra seat in Congress by a little over 1,000 residents. Utah, on the other hand, missed gaining an extra seat by a mere 856 people. So instead of the Salt Lake State, it is the Tar Heel State that will contribute Congress’s 435th member. But Utah is not going down without a fight. The state is suing the Census Bureau, claiming that North Carolina received an unfair adjustment to its population—in accordance with the rules of the census, North Carolina added its large number of military personnel living abroad to the final tally. Utah wants the military personnel living abroad docked from North Carolina’s total or the Mormon missionaries living abroad added to its count. According to the Mormon Church, there are some 14,000 Utah residents who are currently living as missionaries. If either of Utah’s requests are met, North Carolina will wave its 13th Congressional seat good-bye. So, is it time for a census recount? No. The current census was conducted within the legal guidelines, passed by Congress. Military personnel abroad were supposed to count; other citizens abroad were not. The rules cannot be changed after the game is over, and thus, the current count should stand. However, the rules can and should be changed for the 2010 Census. Before 2010, Congress should change census guidelines and exclude all people living outside the United States—both military and non-military. The connection between a person living out of the country and the state in which they last lived in is tenuous at best. Persons living abroad are not residents of any state and lie solely within federal jurisdiction. Even military personnel who come from a base located in a particular state are not always sent back to the place from which they left. People who have departed from Fort Bragg, for example, may not revisit Fayetteville when they return from their deployment. North Carolina does not have the right to count these people as residents any more than Utah has a right to claim 14,000 Mormon missionaries who left from Utah. Besides, if Mormon missionaries are to be counted, then there would be a need to count missionaries from every faith, not to mention business leaders living abroad and other American expatriates. Verifying who has and who has not gone abroad would be an excessive and nearly impossible task. And while it is easy to verify where military personnel are located, they should not receive special consideration over any other American who deemed it necessary to go abroad. Furthermore, any future counting of one ofthese groups and not another may well constitute a violation of the spirit of equal protection, To be fair, the census should represent an accurate count of those people living within the 50 states and U.S. territories—no more, no fewer.

Do not disqualify Ashcroft because of his views In the Jan. 10 editorial, “Not John Ashcroft,” The Chronicle voiced its opposition to the potential

Attorney General nominated by President-elect George W. Bush.

I, more so than most Duke students, am in a unique position to address the nomination. Living in southwest Missouri my entire life, Ashcroft has served as my Governor, Attorney General and U.S. Senator. He graduated from a rival high school, occasionally sings in a church I regularly visit and his nephew was both a classmate and

good friend. In my experience, Ashcroft is a man of

I do, though, think that you are confused about the argument in favor of this procedure. You state that “As students we are consumers, paying customers who have a right to learn more about a ‘product’ before purchase.” As an economist, and an educator, permit me to say that this is nonsense. “You” did not purchase your admission to this institution.

mixed-up market metaphor

which is to say we permit you (as we did not permit many others) to study here for a few years before you go away somewhere else. Duke’s contract with you (read the Trinity College Bulletin) says that you have many obligations to fulfill in order that we not tell you to go away before you receive a degree. Your tuition and fees cover between one half and twothirds of the cost Duke incurs to educate you (collectively), and so Duke appeals to its endowment, and its friends, to subsidize your studies here. Thus to say that you “purchase” my course can only mean that you “spend” your

time in it. You neither have, nor do not have, “rights” (property?, civil?, human?) with respect to it. Rather you have obligations to the College as

set out in the Trinity College Bulletin, and I have obligations to the University as set out in the Faculty Handbook. As an economist, I am pleased when a student successfully employs a market metaphor. But as an educator, I would be remiss in not calling a student’s attention to a misuse of a market metaphor.

Commentary

2001

PAGE 9

Doin’ the nasty The Democrats are soon leaving, and the Republicans are wasting no time n the race to get ugly Rant, rave and squaredance Maureen McClarnon Gore concessed, Clinton’s about to

egress, but the conservatives are just getting angrier. I’ve read more Op-Ed page vituperation about the President in the last couple of weeks than one normally hears on a week’s worth of Rush Limbaugh—and at least with Rush, you can pretend that he’s occasionally exaggerating for effect. There’s been namecalling, and there’s been generalized nastiness, and absolutely no sense of humor or scale. The Republicans have their man in office and they still aren’t happy... except for the guy who wrote a letter to The News & Observer of Raleigh about how great it will be when Bush fulfills his true agenda by outlawing abortion and legalizing gun ownership; I just know he’s shooting off several rounds in uncontainable glee. Then last week I hear this guy on National Public Radio, some conservative writer for The Weekly Standard, talking about how daycare is evil and if women stopped lying to themselves they’d realize sacrificing their children’s total well-being for their careers is wrong and not even financially sound. And why are these women so attached to their careers? Because marriage is such a shaky proposition these days that women feel they have to work in case they end up alone again. This guy wants the welfare mothers to work, however—their children aren’t important enough to need their mother’s care. Besides, “those women” should have thought

about that before they consented to do the nasty. Because, obviously, all women are entirely in control of their bodies and their reproduction all of the time. At this point, I began thinking about other countries to live in. Sweden would be good. But back to being in control of our bodies. John Ashcroft opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest. Oh, maybe those girls should have thought about the consequences before they “asked for it.” Can we expect Daddy or Uncle John to help a child raise their child? Or maybe women should just marry their rapists if they get pregnant, which is apparently a traditional way for men of a certain ethnic background to pick their women—raping a girl and then marrying her, because after all, no-one else would want a “disgraced” woman. Whatever happened to respect for the living? There are real, live people all over the world who could really benefit from the time and energy being spent on fetuses. On the other hand, Ashcroft is progun, in a Charlton Heston sort of way, so maybe if ail women carry guns, we can protect ourselves against anyone who might wish to force himself upon us—strangers, friends, husbands, family members, whoever. Except the men might have bigger guns, so perhaps only women should have guns. Men are always after having the biggest guns. Remember, if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Speaking of real live people, Ashcroft not only opposes affirmative action, but he’s a big fan of the Confederacy, too. Now, we don’t like to use the word “racist” around here... but South Carolinians are looking forward to puttin’ that rebel flag back up where it belongs, and things are looking up in Mississippi, too.

For me, Ashcroft is the epitome of the new conservative nastiness. These are not people who like people—unless you happen to be of the same type of people that they are. And that sort of attitude just doesn’t work in a country filled with all sorts of people. The man lost an election to a dead guy, and Fm thinking the voters in Missouri knew what they were facing when they chose Mel Carnahan over Ashcroft. Fm thinking we should pay attention to the people of the “ShowMe” state—who, according to the state’s web site, are of a “stalwart, conservative,

noncredulous character.” If he’s not good

enough for the stalwart conservatives of

Missouri, well, he shouldn’t be good enough for the nation. Now you see, I’ve stopped short of calling Ashcroft evil. And I haven’t made an attack on his character—just the facts, ma’am. Charles Krauthammer and George Will should show such restraint,

especially when Clinton’s out of office in mere days. By the time this column runs, Ashcroft’s nomination may be settled one way or another, and as you might guess, I’m hoping he doesn’t get confirmed. I hope getting rid of Chavez didn’t use up the “no” votes in this let’s-bebipartisan festival of cooperation. And for those conservatives who say liberals are making a travesty of the confirmation process, I want to note that y’all have a large stockpile of stones in that glass house of yours. Why is it that Americans only like losers if they remain good-natured and stay out of the way? An underdog can fight and still be the underdog... but that’s moving into the situation in the Middle East, which is a whole other can of worms. Maureen McClarnon is a graduate student in the department of sociology.

Be caller No. 9 and ‘Name That Homo Into the fire Marko Djuranovic Over winter break, as I was listening to a local hard rock station one evening, the disc jockey decided to give out some tickets for the upcoming New Year’s Eve bash. But instead of awarding the prize package to any particular caller, he decided to give it to the winner of the “Name That Homo” game. The DJ turned down the background drumbeat to play “All By Myself” and within minutes people started calling in. Someone decided to “take a stab at it”—the DJ promptly warned the listener to be careful where he stabs it. And after more “stabbing” by clueless callers it turned out that neither Richard Marx or Barry Manilow sang the song. It was Eric

Carman. I suppose that I should first clear up any creeping misconceptions. I live in a booming Southern city with a metropolitan population of over 700,000 and a fair share of relocated yuppies drawn in by the local economy (it’s the price of progress). And, no, this radio station isn’t run by a bunch of inbred rednecks. Instead, it’s the official flagship station for the local NFL team, the home of a widely popular syndicated morning radio show and the most listened-to FM radio station in the area. Still, probably as a result of my broad Duke education, I honestly couldn’t believe what I had just heard. So I called the radio station to check out whether any listeners had complained so far. “Nope, not one,” said the DJ. We chatted for a while and it turns out that this

is accepting of everyone. While I’m optimistic that game had been on air for over a month—the only related calls the station received were listeners shocked someday most people will view sexual orientation as that someone had the guts to put this game on radio. a dimension of taste that affects the private life, the No listener thought the game inappropriate enough to truth of the matter is that such a day is far off—and call and complain—everyone who called offered their I’m sorry to say that no politically correct campaign support and urged the DJ to continue. will bring it about sooner. But here’s what I don’t get—why would one have “The Clinton years are over,” the DJ told me. to have guts to air such things? How was this guy “There’s going to be some backlash from the political turning into a hero of the masses? And what’s wrong correctness of the ’905.... People are tired of watching their P’s and Q’s.” with putting the stupid guessing game on the airwaves anyway? The statement above typifies the problem: More Now, I don’t doubt that “Name That Homo” fur- and more people are coming to view political correctther entrenches stereotypes about gays.

Cameron or bust: N.C. State travels down 1-40 tonight Last time the women’s basketball team opened the season 16-1, the Wolfpack provided Duke’s second loss By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

Perhaps one of the most interesting thing about sports is all the fun little coincidences that arise. With its win against Maryland in College Park last weekend, the No. 5 women’s basketball team (16-1, 4-1 in the ACC) tied a team record by opening up the season 16-1. The 1999-2000 team accomplished the same feat before dropping the 18th game of the season to the N.C. State Wolfpack. Tonight at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Blue Devils play the 18th game of their season with a chance to set a new record, against 22nd-ranked N.C. State (11-5, 2-4). Despite the coincidence and the chance of a new record, coach Gail Goestenkors said the team is focusing

on the task at hand and not on the sportswriter-friendly circumstance. “We haven’t talked about it, and I’d prefer not to talk about it,” Goestenkors said. “We have enough to worry about with N.C. State.” The Wolfpack enters the game on the heels of an 83-77 overtime loss to its other neighbor-rival, North Carolina. That loss dropped N.C. State to a disappointing 2-4 record in the conference. The Blue Devils do not believe that the Wolfpack’s slow start is any reason to take N.C. State lightly. “They have all made the extra effort and they are gaining confidence,” Goestenkors said. “Even though they lost some tough games, I think that they are playing much better lately. They are an exceptional team. It’s a team that’s scary because they are very

athletic, they are very talented and they are angry.” Perhaps the most dangerous player on the Wolfpack roster is 5-foot-10 senior wing player Tynesha Lewis. Lewis, whose career has been peppered with moments of greatness as well as inexplicable slumps, seems totally on track this year and leads N.C. State in scoring with 13.8 points per game. She also averages 4.8 rebounds. “Tynesha Lewis has really upped her scoring the last six games,” Goestenkors said. “The last three in particular she’s averaging almost 20 points per game. She’s really playing with a lot of confidence right now.” N.C. State’s other potent offensive threat is Carisse Moody. The 6-1 sophomore forward is second on the Wolfpack in scoring at 13.6 points per

game and leads the team with 6.8 rebounds per game. “Moody has also done a much better job in the last three games,” Goestenkors said. As for the Blue Devils, much of the attention heading into this game has been focused on freshman sensation

Alana Beard.

Beard is coming off a week in which

she averaged 28.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists to earn both ACC player and rookie of the week honors. Goestenkors said that while she was pleased with Beard’s Michael Jordan impersonation, she expected a more well-rounded attack against N.C. State. “She had a great week last week,” Goestenkors said. “But we tend to have more balanced scoring. I think everyone will step up for this game.”

ANALYSIS

Frontcu .C O

<D CD

THE NOD

Iciss Tillis versus Carisse Moody will be one of the game’s key matchups. Moody leads the Wolfpack in both points and rebounds, while Tillis’ 22 blocks is a team high. State will probably use several players to try and slow down Alana Beard, the reiging ACC player and rookie of the week. She averaged 28.7 points last week in three Blue Devil victories. Lewis and Schweitzer are the backcourt leaders of their respective teams. The two senoirs will battle each other for backcourt supremacy. Schweitzer and

HI.

Sheana Mosch both had subpar games against Maryland, while Lewis is coming off back-to-back 20point games against Temple and UNC. Give the edge to the hot hand. Duke frequently goes eight or nine deep, as Missy West, Rometra Craig, and Michele Matyasovsky all provide key minutes. However, 11 Wolfpack players average 13 or more minutes, with 10 of those players having started a game this season. Amy Simpson and Amelia Labador lead the Wolfpack’s reserves. The Wolfpack’s last two games were both emotionally draining. In a victory over Temple, coach Kay Yow became only the fifth coach in NCAA history to win 600 games and the Wolfpack also took UNC to overtime, losing a heartbreaker. The Blue Devils are the fresher team and should excel on their home court.

SENIORS Georgia Schweitzer and Rochelle Parent play defense in an earlier game versus Florida State this season. They will face N.C. State for the last time in Cameron tonight.

NState

Duke leads N.C. State in many team statistics including field-goal percentage, rebounding and assist-to-tumover ratio. Unlike the extremely talented Blue Devils, the Wolfpack has excelled by embodying the gritty attitude of its coach, wearing opposing teams down with its tremendous depth. The intense games of last week will undoubtedly take their toll on the Wolfpack, Compiled by Nick Christie particularly on Duke’s home floor. Duke wins, 77-70.

“I can say that GeorgiaTech basketball is alive and well. I just hate that it was at our expense.”

� Lane doing a Fein job for Tech This week the ACC belonged to Georgia Tech, as the Yellow Jackets defeated two top-10 teams for the first time since the 1985 ACC championships. Tech's Shaun Fein averaged 20 points and five rebounds in the Yellow Jackets’ upsets of Wake Forest and Virginia to capture ACC player of the week honors. Halston Lane won ACC rookie of the week by averaging 16 points and shooting 73 percent from the field in Tech’s two wins.

� Battier closes in on Carraweli’s record With Duke's win on Saturday against Virginia, senior Shane Battier notched his 57th ACC win—moving him past UNC grad and NBA star Sam Perkins. Only nine more ACC wins stand between Battier and former Duke standout Chris Carrawell's record of 66. Also on Tuesday, Battier eclipsed the 1,500-point mark with 22 against Boston College.

Over the last four-plus seasons, only Duke, North Carolina and Maryland have won more games than they have lost on the road. At 12-22, Wake Forest has the fourth-best road winning percentage. The other five schools have singledigit win totals, with Florida State having the

Terrapins drop slumping Deacons, losers of 3 out of 4 games By DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press

PARK, Md. the If 71 Maryland Terrapins WFU had any sleeves to roll up, they would have done so. No. 12 Maryland decided to get physical against lOth-ranked Wake Forest last night, and the result was a surprisingly easy 81-71 victory. Juan Dixon scored 30 points and Lonny Baxter had 18 points and 15 rebounds, leading the Terrapins to their first win in four tries this season against a ranked team. “I’m really proud of the way we went to war,” Maryland coach Gary Williams said. “That was a game we needed, because it proved we can play with a physical team.” Terence Morris scored 20 points for the Terrapins (13-4, 4-1 in the ACC), who recorded their first home win against a top-25 team since 1998, when they beat North Carolina. “We had to beat a team that was ranked. Might as well do it tonight,” Williams said. Josh Howard scored a career-high 24 points and Darius Songaila had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Demon Deacons (13-3, 2-3), who have lost three of four after a 12-0 start. Unlike their other two losses—by one point at North Carolina and in overtime at Georgia Tech—this one was not close. Craig Dawson, Wake Forest’s leading scorer, was held scoreless and starting guard Robert O’Kelley, who scored his 1,700th career point last weekend, had only six points on 3-for-ll shooting.

The game featured 49 fouls, including four technicals—three against the

Demon Deacons. “It was a difficult game, with a lot of emotion on both sides,” Wake Forest coach Dave Odom said. “Obviously, our team didn’t handle the emotion. Actually, we failed miserably.” The Demon Deacons also failed in their effort to stop Dixon, Baxter and Morris. “We came in knowing those were the three players we had to deal with defensively. Obviously we didn’t do a good job on any of those guys,” Odom said. “Our so called ‘Big Three’ really played well in a big game. It was good to see,” Williams said. Morris scored five points and Dixon twice went the distance after a steal during a 12-0 spree that put Maryland up 31-21 late in the first half. After Morris hit a follow shot and Dixon scored from the corner immediately after halftime, Wake Forest never got closer than seven points. Maryland led 58-45 with 13:29 left and 67-55 with eight minutes remaining. It was 71-64 before Morris scored on an alley-oop off a fine pass from Steve Blake with 4:49 remaining, effectively ending Wake Forest’s slim hopes of a comeback. For the 17th time in as many games, Maryland led at halftime. Holding O’Kelley scoreless on 0-for-5 shooting and getting 13 points from Dixon, Maryland built a 41-33 lead.
