The Chronicle Nation prepares for Saturday’s inauguration Bush reveals plans for first weeks in office By TOM RAUM and RON FOURNIER Associated Press

As his inauguraWASHINGTON tion celebration began Thursday, President-elect George W. Bush ruled out federal intervention on electricity prices and discouraged any notion of a US. bailout to ease California’s energy crisis, saying state officials must “correct the law that has caused some of this to happen.” He said he was optimistic that the power interruptions in the nation’s most populous state would not turn into a financial crisis that would spread throughout the country.

To celebrate or protest, students plan to be in D.C. By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Where will you be Saturday at noon? More than 100 North Carolina college students will be in Washington, D.C. to witness the inauguration of the 43rd president of the United States, George W. Bush. Some will be celebrating the first Republican sworn into the office in 12 years, while others will be protesting what they call a violation of the democratic process. “Obviously, we think this is a very historic time,” said junior Courtney Laginess, co-chair of Duke College Re-

publicans. “We’re very happy with the outcome of the election. It’s going to be a time of celebration for us.” For others, this weekend’s festivities represent an opportunity to voice dissension not only about the swearing in ofBush, but also what they consider to be the disenfranchisement of millions of

voters across the country. “Our main goal is basically to show the Bush White House and North Carolina that there are people who are definitely watching the Bush presidency and will not forget how he gained his election in the year 2000,” said Chris

‘Best Practices’ final draft emerges By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle

The long-awaited document outlining graduate education has reached its final draft form. But many feel the years of work put into finalizing “Best Practices: Core Expectations for Graduate Education at Duke University” have simply resulted in a statement of current conditions. Administrators are making only minor word changes to the document. “Some students were concerned that it simply described the status quo, but we believe it will encourage good faith between different parts of the Graduate School,” said Graduate and Professional Student Council President Cybelle McFadden, a member of the committee that drafted the document.“We finally have a set of core principles that will raise that bar on what the best practices are.” Some graduate students feel that while the document may describe the status quo for some departments, it sets standards for all to work toward. But

other students do not feel uniformity is the answer. “Things are different within a department too,” said Mike Ezell, a graduate student in sociology. “Some people don’t need a document to regulate and specify what they do because different students have different needs. This makes it difficult to get one general idea of what everyone’s needs are.” GPSC Attorney General Carol Chancey, a thirdyear graduate student in biomedical engineering, said the effectiveness of the document will depend on its enforcement, which lies in the hands of the Graduate School. A judicial committee will be responsible for hearing complaints and issuing penalties once students have followed the complaint procedure outlined in “Best Practices.” Some graduate students feel they need more administrative support when initiating complaint. “Unless there is some level of support from top down, which I don’t know if that will ever exist, the burden will reSee BEST PRACTICES on page 8

Second day of blackouts hits California By JOHN HOWARD Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

The lights went out in

more than 675,000 California homes and businesses Thursday in a second straight day of blackouts as state lawmakers struggled to find away out of the deepening crisis. Effects began to ripple through the economy, as power problems shut down the state’s main gasoline

pipeline and forced farmers to dump milk because the dairy plants were operating on reduced hours. The blackouts began about 10 a.m. and stretched from the Bakersfield area of central California to Oregon, 500 miles away. The rolling outages lasted about two hours.

Power managers said they expected to avoid blackouts at night and were hopeful they would have enough power Friday, when demand was expected to lessen. Meanwhile, lawmakers considered a stopgap $4OO million rescue plan in which the state would buy power on the open market and provide it to strapped utilities at little cost. “We’re troubled by what goes on in our state and we can only see it getting worse,” said Senate leader John Burton. Kinder Morgan Energy, one of the state’s biggest pipeline companies, couldn’t pipe gasoline from major California refineries to terminals around the state for 12 hours Thursday, said spokesperson Larry Pierce. The company is one of hundreds that have agreements See BLACKOUTS on page 8 �

The new governor has yet to replace new Chief Justice Beverly Lake’s Supreme Court seat, but will likely choose a black judge to diversify the state’s highest court. By REBECCA SUN The Chronicle

More than two months after the general election, North Carolina continues to wait for newly elected Governor Mike Easley to appoint an associate justice

to the Supreme Court seat vacated by now-Chief Justice Beverly Lake. Lake ascended to the chief justice position after defeating incumbent Henry Frye in a close vote Nov. 7, leaving an empty seat on the bench. Easley is expected to appoint a Democrat to that seat, which would bring the current number of Democrats to two out of the seven justices. Although Easley has the option of reinstating Frye, the former attorney is reportedly working for a law firm in Greensboro and has already stated that he would decline a reappointment to the Supreme Court. Instead, Easley is likely to appoint a black judge to replace Frye in an attempt to bring more diversity to the court, which has traditionally been all-white. The court’s six current members are all white, and Democrat Sarah Parker is the lone female. “Blacks are the building blocks of the Democratic party,” said Thad Beyle, professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “When they come out to vote, they vote nine to one [in

favor of the Democrats] One prospect is G.K. Butterfield, who is currently a resident Superior Court judge for Wilson and Edgecombe counties. Although he has not directly spoken with Easley, the governor is aware of his interest in the position, Butterfield said. “I feel I can bring to the Supreme Court my knowledge of the law as well as 12 years of experience on the Superior Court bench,” he said. Although Butterfield is eager to be appointed the next associate justice, he said the governor has not yet made any indication of whom he will select. “I have no way of gauging [my chances]; it is completeSee SUPREME COURT on page 7 >

usual rivals, the Academic Council warmly welcomed new University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chancellor James Moeser at its meeting Thursday. Stressing the positive impact of the two schools’ historically close relationship, Moeser reaffirmed that connection and committed to its strengthening. “It’s very clear that these two universities, co-located as they are, are closely intertwined and our futures are inseparable,” said Moeser. He cited the long history of cooperation between his school and Duke, going back at least as far as 1934, when the respective libraries began sharing books. Since that time, the relationship has developed, Moeser said, to include interschool programs on a wide range of topics, including ethics, religion, national security, health and technology. “Just as our competition on the basketball floor brings out our excellence, it also motivates students, faculty, alumni and fans. The same can be said of our rivalry in the academic world, which is

actually more cooperative than competitive,” Moeser said. “Together our sum is truly greater than our parts.” The new chancellor sees that sum growing in the future, sparked by the new Robertson Scholars program, created last June by a $24 million gift to the schools. The program will award scholarships to undergraduates who will study at both institutions “Consider what this marvelous interaction has done for North Carolina and indeed for the nation, in improving the economy, creating jobs and the general benefiting of the public welfare,” Moeser said, adding that North Carolina ranks seventh among the states in funding from the National Institutes of Health. Two-thirds of such funding goes to Duke or UNCCH, and Moeser said the schools’ close relationship gives the schools an advantage in competing for grants. “Having the depth of experience coupled with the willingness to work together is looked upon very favorably by grant organizations,” he said. President Nan Keohane made a similar visit to the faculty senate ofUNC-CH in 1994 shortly after her own inauguration. IN OTHER BUSINESS: Provost Peter Lange

After describing the Board of Trustees’ largely enthusiastic reaction to his latest draft, Lange discussed several planned revisions. Goal six of the plan, which calls for intensifying the use of information technology, will be expanded to include a requirement that by fall 2002 all undergraduates own a computer and that all freshmen own a laptop or a similar portable device. Lange will also stress the development of wireless capabilities on campus and the creation of a certificate program and institute for studying the social and economic effects of information. Although he gave few details, Lange also announced he would further develop goals for student affairs and for collaboration with other

schools and states.

Kak, an expert on Indian civilizations, will discuss the history and future of Hindu culture in his closing remarks Sunday. “I think this is a really great event for our university to host,” said senior Smita Trivedi, one of the founding members of the HSC. “We want to bring awareness of this religion and culture to campus and to open an interfaith dialogue among all students.” Duke’s HSC chapter, which focuses primarily on intellectual study of ancient text and its application to the members’ everyday lives, began with only eight students in 1998.

The evolution of the fledgling Duke chapter of the Hindu Students Council will take a giant leap forward this weekend, as the three-year-old group hosts the 2001 Southeast Regional HSC Conference beginning tonight. Approximately 200 students from universities and schools from as far away as Florida and as nearby as the North Carolina School of Math and Sci-

ence are expected to attend. The conference, which has been titled “Connections, Reflections and Visions of

Hindu Traditions,” will include workshops led by guest speakers and experts from the Triangle, as well as speeches by nationally renowned Hinduism experts David Frawley and Subhash Kak. Frawley, a prominent speakers on Hinduism, will discuss in his keynote

been working diligently to bring the conference to the Duke this year. “We are very excited about how far we’ve come and how much we’ve blossomed in two years,” Trivedi said. “The South Asian community has really stepped up its support for us, and the conference should be a great success.” The weekend’s festivities will incorporate a multicultural show Friday night at Baldwin Auditorium featuring several student groups including Mi Gente and Diya, as well as a Saturday night garba a traditional Hindu group dance. The universality of Hinduism will be a cornerstone of the conference, and tonight’s performance has been designed to show how Hindu culture can be accessed by those who are not directly affiliated with the religion. The show is open to the public. “One of our main goals was to have ,

this not be a heterogeneous group,” said junior Anand Nathan, president of the HSC. “We would like to get a lot of people who are not Hindus to come.” Hinduism is a religion followed by roughly one-sixth of the world’s population and has its origins in the South Asia, primarily in India. “In a much deeper context, Hinduism really isn’t a religion,” Trivedi said. “It is much more of a philosophy and way of life. It teaches that every religion is correct and that no religion is wrong. It is really all-encompassing.” The weekend’s workshops, led by six Duke faculty members among other experts, will address aspects of Hindu culture, including philosophy, yoga, practi-

cal meditation and South Asian politics. Individuals interested in participate ing can register for the weekend’s events for $l5 at tonight’s performance

Researchers find ferrets’ neural wiring partially inborn By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

Studying the developing brains of newborn ferrets, researchers at Duke University Medical Center have made significant contributions to the debate over na-

ture versus nurture.

Post-doctoral fellow Justin Crowley and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Lawrence Katz concentrated on the ferrets’ visual systems to determine how much neural wiring is inborn, and how much is affected by later experience. “[The] visual is a model for the contributions of nature versus nurture,” Katz said. Rather than developing a visual system only as it grows, Crowley and Katz found that a newborn ferret already has visual wiring present as a foundation for its future adult system. That visual foundation can then be refined and modified by experience and environment. The scientists found that a ferret’s visual system is

programmed with a very good idea of what to expect, even before the retina can detect light. This pre-programming predicts normal experience, like use of both eyes, so that even ferrets receiving visual information from only one eye showed the same visual cortex development as those receiving it from both eyes. “We find that the setup of the [visual] system is hard-wired,” explained Crowley, and first develops

Katz and Crowley used an innovative surgical technique to study ocular dominance columns—features in the visual cortex used to detect light from one eye or the other; existence of the columns indicates that the brain has set up a set of connections. Once thought to be created only in reaction to visual experience, the “ocular dominance columns not only appear much earlier than previously thought, but they with no reference to the environment. emerge at a markedly different stage of cortical developA ferret that has a normal visual experience will ment,” state Crowley and Katz’s in the Nov. 17 Science. keep its programmed structure, but any abnormal exAlthough there are no immediate plans to extend perience immediately after birth will modify the systhe research to more complex mammals or other areas of the brain, Katz and Crowley stress that work in the tem.

Clinton looks back in farewell speech By TERENCE HUNT Associated Press

President Bill Clinton, in a WASHINGTON farewell from the Oval Office, told the nation Thursday night that “America has done well” during his presidency, with record-breaking prosperity and a cleaner environment. He said President-elect George W. Bush will inherit a country “in a great position to meet the challenges of the future.” Offering advice to the incoming administration, Clinton urged that the United States stay on the course of fiscal discipline and continue to pay down the national debt. It seemed to be a pointed alternative to Bush’s proposal for sweeping tax cuts. Clinton will turn the presidency over to Bush at

noon Saturday.

In the speech, Clinton said America must continue to lead in foreign affairs “and must not disentangle itself from the world.” He said that at home, the nation “must treat all our people with fairness and dignity, regardless of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation and regardless of when they arrived in this country.” It was Clinton’s 15th Oval Office address over the course of his presidency, a turbulent eight years that brought unprecedented economic prosperity along with a humiliating sex scandal and bitter impeachment battle. While Clinton boasted of economic good times, he made no mention of the Monica Lewinsky sex-and-lies scandal that roiled his presidency or the impeachment battle that followed. The president, speaking for seven minutes in a prime-time, televised speech, said he leaves office “more idealistic, more full of hope than the day I arrived and more confident than ever that America’s best days lie ahead.” He said there is no higher position than president but that “there is no title I will wear more proudly than that of citizen.”

N.C. students travel to inauguration STUDENTS IN D.C. from page I turned out,” said Duke senior Samir Mehta, one of about 20 Democratic Duke students going to D.C. “On a larger level, the country is clearly so divided and Bush is making some contentious decisions.... [Demonstrations! might encourage a lot of the legislature and Democratic senators to vote against certain appointments or bills.” But conservative social policy is just what other students are hoping the Bush administration will take on. About 10 Duke students will attend the annual March for Life and a national pro-life conference. “We hope t0... gain valuable pro-life training for us and during the march to be a representative voice for the unborn to our legislators and congressmen and senators up on Capitol Hill,” said junior Steve Hong, president of Duke Students for Life. “I see the pro-life movement as the new civil rights movement.” A few Duke students plan to participate in counterdemonstrations planned against proponents of at least 10 different liberal causes. It is possible that the inau>

guration will elicit the highest turnout since 1973, when former President Richard Nixon was sworn in. Security for the inauguration is expected to be tight. Conservative students said they think it is unlikely the liberal protesters will accomplish much. “I’m glad if it will help let some steam off. I’m glad they’re doing

it,” said third-year law student Gideon Moore, co-chair of Duke College Republicans. “I think it’s a good opportunity to see what the vast majority of people really believe. It’s not going to change anything.” Other conservative students said they felt the protests would only detract from any possibility of unifying the country. But freshman Jessica Rutter said it is just that sense of unity she hopes to prevent. “[We really want] to bring attention to what went on and the danger of what’s going on so people don’t watch the inauguration and think... unity, unity, unity—what they’re saying is supposed to be the theme ofhis speech,” Rutter said. “The majority of the country doesn’t believe in this conservative unity that he preaches.”

Bush said he would not be surprised if Saddam were to test his resolve. “It’s possible that he would, provoke, test. And we’ll be ready,” said the son of the president who drove Saddam’s invasion forces from Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War.

House, the government’s guest quarters across from the White House. Sipping on a diet cola, Bush said: He was “ready to go” on delivering his inaugural address, which he said would last a relatively brief 13 minutes. He said the speech would celebrate the nation’s long tradition of peaceful transfers of power. “It’s going to be a greatness-of-America speech, with the understanding that some people don’t feel America’s so great for them, that there are some who don’t trust the justice system, there are some who don’t believe that prosperity is a part of their lives.” His decision to keep on CIA Director George Tenet, a Democrat, on an interim basis reflected both was responsible.

consideration.”

One such individual is appellate court judge Patricia Timmons-Goodson, who, if appointed, would become the state’s first black female justice. Timmons-Goodson, who has mentioned interest in becoming a justice after

four years on the appeals court, was out of town for the week and unavailable for comment. Although immediate past governor Jim Hunt, also a Democrat, had a few weeks to make the appointment before leaving office, he left the job to his successor Easley. “It was smart for Jim Hunt to duck the appointment for Easley,” Beyle said. “[lt allows Easley] to build his

own group, and keep good relationships between Democrats.” However, it seems that Easley will not be making the appointment in the

very near future. “Right now, the governor is focused on clemency hearings,” said Ruffin Poole, a spokesperson for the governor. “The appointment may occur in the next two weeks or not, but most likely [will occur] in the latter part of the

Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said of Ashcroft. But Specter noted that White himself “does not say John Ashcroft should not be confirmed and he does not say that John Ashcroft acted out of a political motive or out of a biased motive.” Republicans summoned Rep. Kenny Hulshof, RMo., who had prosecuted the quadruple murder case. Hulshof brought along Sheriff Kenny Jones, whose wife was one of the victims. The ex-prosecutor graphically described how James Johnson had shot Jones’ wife in front ofher family, one sheriff’s deputy in the back and two other officers of the law from ambush. Hulshof called Johnson’s three lawyers “a dream team,” who brought in three nationally known experts on the insanity defense they mounted. All the Democrats expressed sympathy for Jones and took pains to point out that White did not want to free Johnson, just grant him a new trial. In other testimony, Planned Parenthood Federation president Gloria Feldt questioned whether Ashcroft would continue Justice Department efforts that helped cut violence against abortion clinics in half.

However, administrators believe this policy is the most efficient method. ‘The burden is always placed on the person who is being mistreated in situations like this,” said Leigh Deneef, associate dean of the Graduate School. “There is no way for us to know what is going wrong if the graduate students do not step forward with their problems.” In addition to providing a course of action for redress, the document lists the fundamental responsibilities and expectations of students, faculty, departments and Duke itself. It generally addresses the four responsibilities ofthese groups: research, teaching, professional development and the sustenance of a graduate community. “It is important to remember that the

graduate students come from a variety of educational backgrounds,” said Mike Dickison, second-year graduate student in biology. ‘The key thing that needs to be addressed is making sure graduate students and advisors are clear about their responsibilities and that this is specified from the beginning.” The document is still in draft form and awaits review from the executive committee of the Graduate School. Deneef expects a finalized form to be submitted to the directors of graduate studies by the end of February. Administrators expect a positive response. “We hope it will be well received by these groups and serve as a starting point for looking at the core expectations for departments, the graduate school and graduate students,” said Jackie Looney, associate dean of the Graduate School.

The situation soon could lead to long gas lines and higher prices at the pump, said Bill Greehey, CEO of Valero Energy, which operates a Benicia refinery that produces about 10 percent of the state’s gasoline supply. “California is getting to the point where they are going to have a crisis that is a helluva lot bigger than the one it already has on its hands,” Greehey said.

The Independent System Operator said the amount of megawatts taken out were enough to serve 1.5 million homes and businesses. PG&E, which accounts for about 80 percent of the blacked-out customers, said it cut power to 675,000 residential and business customers. Hospitals and airports were exempt from the outages.

Clinton praises nation’s success in farewell address

>■ CLINTON from page 5

Two days before Bush’s inauguration, the imminent change of command was

apparent at the White House. Clinton’s aides stripped his photos from the walls and packed personal papers into boxes. Computer drives were being archived and cleared for the incoming administration. Clinton’s staff was to lose e-mail capability at the end of the day. Emphasizing that the United States must remain a world leader, Clinton said, “We must remember that America cannot lead in the world unless here at home we weave the threads ofour coat of many colors into the fabric of one America.” “As we become more diverse,” Clinton said, “we must work harder to unite around our common values—and our common humanity.” Clinton said he was proudly grateful to Americans for the chance to serve two

terms—the first Democrat since Franklin D. Roosevelt to be elected twice. “This has been a time of dramatic transformation, and you have risen to every new challenge,” the president said. “You have made our passage into the global information age an era of great American renewal.” He said he had been guided by the values of opportunity and responsibility for

all and had worked toward “a new kind of government—smaller, more modern, more effective, full of new ideas and policies appropriate to this new time. Working together, America has done well.” Clinton boasted that America is enjoying its longest economic expansion in

history, with more than 22 million new jobs and the lowest unemployment in 30 years. Still, the incoming Bush administration says it is worried about signs of

an economic slowdown. Clinton said his administration had achieved progress across the board,

fighting crime, reducing welfare rolls and expanding college opportunities. “Incomes are rising across the board. Our air and water are cleaner. Our food and drinking water is safer. And more of our precious land has been preserved than at any time in 100 years. And America has been a force for peace and prosperity in every corner of the globe,” Clinton said. It was the latest, but not the final, goodbye from the nation’s 42nd president. A farewell ceremony is planned at the airport Saturday as he leaves Washington after Bush’s inauguration, and a welcoming rally awaits Clinton soon after in New York. He will also have a final radio address Saturday.

Durham water torture Durham officials should not come to expect the generosity that Duke showed when it paid for water that the city had failed to bill

Too

often, Duke is unfairly criticized for being unneighborly, and too often, this criticism is used as a public relations weapon against the University. Such was the case when Durham failed to perform adequately one of the basic jobs of any city—accounting for its services—and undercharged Duke and many other Durham residents for hundreds of millions of gallons of water between 1997 and 1999. When city officials discovered the error in spring 1999, they quickly realized that failure to collect the lost money would at the least cause them public embarrassment for their city’s ineptitude and at worst cost them their political careers. Duke is one of Durham’s two largest consumers of water, and the politicians knew that if they could only collect the mother lode of money from IBM or the University, they could save themselves politically. City officials admitted that they could not pinpoint the amount of water Duke or anyone else used. In essence, they had no chance of legitimately collecting on the bill. Meanwhile, Duke administrators said they would work with city officials to rectify the situation. So, like good Durham politicians, they loaded their cannons with trusty ammunition—the Duke Blaster. City officials as much as accused Duke of stealing the water, and the media joined the fun. Local newspapers allowed officials to subtly and not-so-subtly tie the case of the missing water to Duke’s not paying for fire services, to its sometimes-unfortunate history with the city and especially to its less-than-stellar reputation as a neighbor. Even the mayor admitted that this situation became perceived as another instance ofDuke being more of a burden to the community than an asset. The Durham community, long suspicious of Duke, backed the city, whose leaders were being less than truthful. After months of political pressure, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask offered to sponsor an independent water auditor for the city and to pay whatever the auditor determined was underbilled in 1999. Duke ended up paying $559,900 for the and $20,000 for the consultant. The money for the water was nothing short of charity. Duke bailed out Durham in away that no self-respecting business should ever expect, let

alone demand, another to do.

But Durham should have never let Duke pay for the auditor. City officials and the city manager nearly forced the University to determine how much the city had underbilled—clearly misplacing their responsibility. This is absurd. Thankfully, the City of Durham has fixed its water valves, so this shouldn’t happen with water billing again. But Durham politicians would do well for themselves to shore up all Durham’s services and business-dealings, because this unfortunate scheme can only work in unique circumstances and should not work against Duke. Durham: Don’t spend it all in one place.

What happens when Survivor meets Road Rules ? ABC is betting you'll want to know. The Mole, ABC's first experiment in shameless replication of the CBS summer smash, is one of a new crop of reality programs populating primetime. The premise? Ten strangers assemble for an adventure of chalbut one of them is a saboteur working to foil the deception, and lenges team's plans. The group maintains a cash jackpot which grows with the successful completion of missions. Every few days, the members are tested on their knowledge of "the mole," and the lowest scorer is "executed" (i.e. removed from the game). In the end, the winner and the mole remain, and the former takes home the team's winnings. Sound familiar? It should. The Mole borrows heavily from MTV's Road Rules, which features team challenges and collective compensation. The periodic "executions" and demographically friendly casting are courtesy of Survivor's successful formula. But is The Mole worth a second look? ABC's contribution offers something new, an anonymous traitor. Reminiscent of the nefarious antics of Richard Hatch, The Mole's appeal rests in the uncertain identity of its antagonist. The vibe? Trust no one But originality stops there. Anderson Cooper fits quite nicely into Jeff Probst's hosting shoes, and i . the predictable tension among the group members invokes memories of PulauTiga. Even the "characters" are copycats. Remember Ramona, the assertive young black biochemist? Meet Afi, her med-school incarnation. And who can forget poor Sonja, Survivor's first victim? Certainly not Kate, her middle-aged 'C- ’ er --vtM doppelganger. The verdict; Why settle for second best? Survivor's Australian followup debuts after the Super Bowl. Plan your Outback party now, and don't invite The Mole. —By Tim Perzyk '

ah,

more juniors. January marks the time when a few hundred students come back from abroad to a Duke campus whose quirks everyone else—even the freshmen—has already adjusted to. By all accounts, we abroad types feel a little out of it. But when a friend of mine asked "Didn't you feel so out of it being abroad without knowing the American music scene?" I had to admit it... not really. Yes, a lot of U.S. music travels worldwide (after all, all the post-Mickey Mouseketeers are very internationally friendly). However, unless it's dance, techno, U2 or the revived British Invasion, not many international bands receive American attention. While abroad, regardless of country or continent, Duke students were exposed to great music last year—from Australian social anthems to an Italian teen-pop phenomenon As 1 attempt to re-discover the oh-so-exciting American mainstream, here's a sampling of some of the more popular bands who are famous in their home countries but still relatively unknown here THE WHITLAMS: One of Australia's biggest bands, the sound is basic poprock, but with an Aussie edge and socially provocative message. Their latest album, Love this City, features "Blow Up the Pokies," a song about gambling addiction.The song has struck a chord throughout the country, especially in Sydney, where numerous poker machines have become a social controversy. Thus, the disc is a two-in-one deal—listen to good music and learn about the social issues of Australia. Whitlams.com is still under construction, but you can listen to samples and order CDs (and the CD single) guys are the Whitlams back in 1993. through Amazon.com. Hopefully they're cooler now.

A cross between Oasis and New Kids on the Block, Lunapop also have the necessary übiquitity factor, playing constantly on the radio and stores oughout Florence. A few Duke students studying here went to thq show, and reported the standard screaming teen girls, remarking how fun it was to sing along to Italian pop. And I highly recommend their website www.lunapop.sito-web.net—it's in Italian, but the pictures will speak to anyone...hmmm.... BLK SONSHINE: Internationally influenced harmonies with a decidedly African soul. Blk Sonshine's self-titled CD, released last April, —

captures the free-spirited passion of their live performances. With only their acoustic guitars and voices, the duo blends the depth of Ben Harper and Tracy Chapman with the fun funk of reggae and hip-hop. Speaking their message of universal love and friendship in nglish, Chicewa, Zulu and Italian, this band is unbelievable. Already gaining immense popular!ty in South Africa, one reviewer said of Blk Sonshine: "[I am] prepared to bet my soul on the fact that this seed will grow beyond our shores." I would too. The CD is not available on Amazon yet but as is so often the case, our pals at Napster should be the ticket for now. Definitely worth the effort.□

Remembering The King

p a g e

By Alexandra Wolfe

A performance and talk by a prominent AfricanAmerican acting couple captured the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend festivities.

Where

there is no struggle, there is no progress," was actor Ossie Davis' opening remark in his performance In Other Words on Martin Luther King Day. As a finale to the weekend's festivities, he and Ruby Dee, his wife, poignantly demonstrated the significance of King's life and heritage. This legendary couple, known for their brilliant acting, directing, writing, producing and social activism, were close friends of King; Davis even gave the eulogy at the funerals of King and Malcolm X. First provoked by the harrassment of his parents by the Ku Klux Klan, Davis began to write so that he could "truthfully portray the black man's experience.” He and his wife first met on the set of 1950's No Way Out with Sidney Poitier, then on Broadway in A Raisin in the Sun. They went on to collaborate beyond the stage by participating in Martin Luther King's 1963 March on Washington, championing black voting rights and advocating sickle-cell disease research. Some of their most recent film appearances have been Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and iayed himself in the movie Malcolm X Grumpy Old Men and The Client. The Id has just named them the recipients of ievement Award. ike in front of a packed audience in Page Jay, they not only discussed their own nts and King's, but spoke of the potential of yone to accomplish something. "The next iartin Luther King may be in this audience," )avis said. "It may be a man, may be a woman, may be black, may be white." Dee idded, "He recreates us in so many others." Dee then read from the book she and her husband wrote together, With Ossie and Ruby: In This Life Together, and discussed with wit and wisdom her 53 years of mariage. Davis related pivotal steps in the civil ights movement, reiterating his opening theme: "Every life is tied up in struggle." Dee went on to say that King's struggle still exists. "It's easier to build monuments than make a better w0r1d.... Dead men make such convenient heroes."

Dee and Davis, along with their introductory speakers, truly endeavored to find a deeper meaning in the day. One speaker, senior Lavar Johnson, opened with "Repeat after me; My dreams in life are non-negotiable. Now give yourselves a hand." He had the audience rolling when at the end of is introduction he said, "Now' repeat after me: Levar Johnson, you know how to give a speech." The performance was imbued with both serious and humorous tones. Dee said at one point, "I'm really here because I'm so eager for this not to be another shopping day." In Other Words came from its spirit of revitalization and ongoing struggle. "We're looking for the heartbeat of this day," Dee said. On a holiday that recalled one of the 20th century's greatest leaders, she and her husband certainly found it. □

Little did I know that those same Americans would one day claim favorite Japanese restaurants and be willing to pay exorbitant sums to eat—of all things —sushi! no longer have a personal beef with my friends over the sushi issue, but it has come to my attention that even the most passionate of sushi lovers make mistakes. First, the definition of sushi must be clarified. The most common misconception among Americans is that sushi is raw fish —probably the reason for all the vulgar and obnoxious behavior back in third grade. In reality, sushi is fundamentally vinegared rice combined with ingredients such as vegetables, cooked seafood, cooked egg—or raw fish. There are also different styles of sushi that vary widely in look and flavor [see bottom, page seven]. Compared to other trendy Asian imports such as yoga, Zen Buddhism, and acupuncture, sushi's übiquity is far ahead of the game. From major cities to rural New England college towns, the niche for the sushi market has been established and perhaps even exploited. Even in the Triangle. Even at Duke. From respectable local

establishments like Sushi-Yoshi and Yamazushi to delivered sushion-points from George's Garage,

Duke students can't possibly declare sushi depravation. Indeed, this area has come a long way since the early days of sushi invasion. George Yamazawa, jovial

owner and chef of Yamazushi, opened his restaurant in 1986 after serving as one of the first sushi chefs at a Kanki Steak

House. In the early years, "seventy percent of the orders were for tempura or teriyaki"—all cooked foods —"while only about thirty percent had sushi," he said. "That was very scary, because it wasted the fresh fish." Luckily, sushi patronage has increased through the years, and just like my sushi-loving American friends back home with their sushi joints and their yoga classes, people have remained loyal patrons to his restaurant despite new competition. A few miles in the direction of Chapel Hill is Sushi-Yoshi, owned by the humble Yoshiyuki Aoyama. His restaurant, opened in 1996, clearly succeeds in combining a minimalist, airy decor with tasty Japanese food. When asked who the SUSHI MASTER: George Yamazawa opened Yamazushi in 1986. Since then, he's most important person he ever made sushi for is, maintained one of the best sushi restaurants in the area. Aoyama replied that, "Everybody [is] very important. My busboy [is] important, waitress [is] important, assistant [is] important. I cannot say who is most important." It may sound terse, that's a lot of love from a man able to simultaneously prepare Nigiri sushi, oversee his assistant and answer questions like "is sushi an art?" from a pesky college student. I was actually serious about the last question. For example, I recently picked up a magazine at the airport where an entire section was dedicated to the fine art of sushi photography. A lot of it was over the top, but the message was clear: sushi represents not merely the consumption of a food, but of a culture. Though art-deco bistros and swank Japanese steakhouses So how did the two chefs respond?

to reminisce about the good ol' days of Mother Russia, but that Cold War was one hell of a narrative device—the perfect paranoid, apocalyptic fodder for all sorts of doomsday scenarios. Without those rascally Huskies, poor old James Bond suffers quite an identity crisis when the biggest threat to world security that can be found is some media mogul; political dramas generally suffer even more with no red glow looming across the pond. If there are no clear bad guys, can we really have faith in the good ones? Thirteen Days revives the Cold War with a powerful nostalgia for an era in which our ideologies were simple and well intentioned and our leaders were brave and moral men. The film works an intelligent, engaging and downright patriotic drama out of one of the ultimate historical showdowns of all time. This breed of nostalgia does not stand alone in a year that saw the resurgence of honorable and worthy presidential figures in pop culture. Just as Josiah Bartlet in West Wing gave TV viewers a comforting executive shoulder on which to turn away from a disgraceful election season, this portrayal of John F. Kennedy by Bruce Greenwood resurrects one of our country's most cherished commanders-in-chief in his finest hour. Supported by his brother (Steven Culp, in a nuanced

and dimensional portrayal of the younger but equally wise Bobby) and besieged with advice from a vast array of political figures, Kennedy is a man beleaguered with the immense power to decide the fate of a nation, with no clear way to use it. Greenwood's performance is nothing short of a triumph, embodying the spirit of this deeply thoughtful, religious family man where other actors been lost beneath a junky Bv Greq Bloom m '9ht havefellow Americans” accent and "Maaawy a hard political shell. His quietly calculating assessment of the increasingly impossible situation is fascinating: a political superhero who maintains calm hope, and an awesome dignity in the face of the menacing archenemy and seemingly unwinnable odds. This is a man fighting not just for the sake of America, but for the world—and the weight of that bears down on the audience through his struggle. This film makes the history that every one of us read in eighth grade textbooks come alive in ways that today's dramas can't, even as we live through them. Honestly—election recounts or global thermonuclear war? Thirteen Days allows us to live within the White House and feel the anxious gaze of a nation in a time of need. With those damn Reds almost never seen but always, always felt, this drama oozes suspense and inspiration. Notice, if you will, that I haven't once mentioned Mr. Costner. Though his name is the only one to appear on the movie poster, he adds nothing to this film but a bad accent and some considerable historical inaccuracies. Sorry, Field of Dreams fans, but Costner is still possibly the most inexplicable of all the overrated A-list actors. It is a tribute to the excellence of the other elements in this movie that he does not sink it with his presence. □ **

But State and Main turns out to be an intelligent and believable took into the Hollywood lifestyle. While Mamet's previous films have been considered more artsy, State and Main targets a more mainstream audience with both its subject and its cast.

bit of advice when skimming The Archive: start at the back. Jennie Berkesch's full-color photograph, a chain of Chinese firecrackers, is vibrant and explosive. After savoring the screaming lines of color, dig into some words—Duke's sleek and shiny answer to a lit magazine boasts 64 pages of poetry and prose. Most of the stories and photographs revolve around some sort of journey, and many times the authors follow through with their promises to take you somewhere good. Recommended reading starts on page seven, with Lisa Rying scoring major points for her understated look into the mind of a tourist ("This Rome"). Her poem begins "I do not wish to be translated" and travels from there. Ben Morris uses his "Speed of Dreams" not to travel but to hover, weaving in and out of memories and dreams in enjoyable, floating prose. Perhaps most enjoyable are his vignettes, which toss together nifty-sounding words that make almost no sense. In "Afterlife," Amy Vyas employs a punctuated rhythm to tell a story of empty mobility. In a rare moment of stasis, Kelly Lynn Mulvey captures a moment at the kitchen counter. Her 13-line poem, "Baking, distracted, while you brood," is startling, simple, and eager to be read more than once. Michael Baumrind turns in the obligatory smirk story with "Gibb Industries," a short piece that starts, "I used to smoke weed." The thing is, what should be obnoxious is actually a compelling read, and almost begs to be made into a film. Uttama Sharma's family saga, "Ancestry," uses

Staying young as long as possible

Adjusting to foreign surroundings American in Paris

You write like a girl

Ellen Zander Faran Krentcil I decided to write this column while doing lunch with a good friend. I had almost swallowed a mouthful ofSouthwestern salad, and then she said it: “Did you know Duke is the second-best place in the country to meet your husband?” I almost threw up. Later that night, twirling on a dance floor, surrounded by random guys, an unwelcome thought came into my head. It’s Saturday night. Do you know where your husband is? Coming to my senses, I brushed it off. Come on, this is Duke! We are not living in a land of commitment. We are the walkers of shame, and we make it look good. But this wasn’t a one-time deal. Lately, it seems like all my Mends are talking about tying the knot. There was the time at dinner, when a hallmate confessed her goal in life was to raise amazing children. There was my freshman fling, who muttered one midnight that he was “trying to figure out what a meaningful relationship” was. And this former player who lived in my dorm, a Changed Man who explained, “It’s time to look past dating.” Then there was me, wondering how you could look past dating at a college where (supposedly) it doesn’t exist.

Please tell Democrats that I didn’t leave the country just because George W. Bush is about to become president. I really came to study for a semester in Paris, the original Gothic Wonderland, although it is mostly as Gothic as East Campus is. I think after this, I’ll know a lot more French than just being able to pronounce “Battier” correctly. I am living in an all-girls dorm within sight of the Eiffel Tower. It used to be a convent, and it’s a big, creaky place. I have a room to myself with a wood floor, high ceilings, wallpaper, curtains and French doors that open out onto a view of a courtyard and rooftops—the works. I have my own sink and my furniture would pass for antiques in the United States. As expensive as living in Paris can be, my housing, meals and classes are all covered by a semester of Duke tuition. It’s payback time for all the food points that I’ve ever lost. With the expense of utilities and the dorm’s director substituting for our parents, there are a lot ofrules. It’s hard to even remember them all, because I am used to dorms back in the “Land of the Free.” There are suggested hours that you should shower and signs that say don’t clack your heels loudly as you walk down the hall. I can come back after midnight or not at all as long as I tell the receptionist beforehand, but the French women

here need parental permission to be out past curfew. Also, only our relatives can go up to our rooms. Our friends have to stay downstairs and leave an I.D. at the desk. At least all these security measures make it less spooky when , the timer lights in the halls, stairs and bathrooms go out unexpectedly and I’m suddenly in the dark. This dorm is an environmentalist’s dream. There is one washer for 115 people and one dryer which can’t take more than four kilograms of wet clothes. We also aren’t allowed electrical appliances in our rooms. I don’t even have a telephone in my room because I’m too cheap to pay every month for a phone that can only be used for incoming calls. Most of the other students in the Duke-in-France program are living with Parisians, including a few families with kids, lots of older ladies and even a countess. We don’t start classes at the University of Paris

until February. Until then, we are taking language review classes and having people come in and talk to us about everything from the French university system to wine tasting. Next week we are going on a boat ride down the Seine, spending a weekend in Bourgogne and seeing a play that we read performed at a theater. I am still adjusting to the culture and realizing that suddenly, Fm not a tourist anymore. Sometimes I have to go grocery shopping instead of sight seeing. I have to relearn a lot of things that I’ve known since I was a child, starting with how to talk in a conversation. I am also learning how to type again since half the letters on the keyboards are in different places. I’m just thankful that I can still tie my shoes the same way. I’ve got a lot of walking around to do. Ellen Zander is a Trinity junior.

I know a lot of people’s parents, including mine, met when they were in college. And I hope I know enough not to make the same mistake. My mom once said that she’d never had her own room. She went from sharing one with her sister to living in a dorm with her friends, and then straight to my dad. There is a beauty in sleeping alone. It makes you really appreciate sleeping together. commentary Some pretty amazing people work at this University. One ofthem is a historian who interviews Howard Kleinberg feminists. She’s beautiful, she’s married, and she didn’t meet him until she was 30, As we drove down 15MIAMI I don’t know how headline writers coped 501, she told me she thinks the high divorce rate is with the Adams thing back a couple of hundred years because people just want a spouse and often think ago. Likely, there was no confusion in writing about that anyone will do. It’s not that we’re too young to John and John Quincy because headlines in newspapers know what we want; it’s that we’re afraid well never then were not like they are today. Then headlines pracget it. Sometimes we settle, and most times, we’re tically were full texts of type; today, headlines are short way too good for that.

Just yesterday, I was reading a headline in my That said; if you happen to find your soul mate in local paper in which a Bush presented his budget. college, by all means, keep that person around. I know Awfully early, thought of the new president. It turns I some amazing students who are, amazingly, committed it was his brother, Florida’s governor Jeb Bush. out to their one-and-only. I do believe in love. But I also For Floridians over the next few years, it’s going to believe that this is not our only chance. For every story be difficult to tell which Bush is doing what to the you hear about sophomore lovebirds meeting in K-ville, nation and/or the state. Certainly, this can be eased if there are dozens ofother situations throwing random headline writers observe an unwritten rule that the (adult) people together. I know a filmmaker who met Florida governor be referred to only as Jeb in headhis fiance on a train. I had a knockout redhead explain lines. After all, Jeb is an abbreviation in itself. His she thought her dream guy was gay—before he gladly name is John Ellis Bush, which he apparently really proved her otherwise. John Donne said, “No man is an never liked and melded the entire thing into Jeb; Not island.” Neither is Duke. Attractive, appealing, totally JEB, but Jeb—as in a first name. dateable people exist anywhere, anytime. And for those In both of his gubernatorial campaigns, the one he of you out there determined to make finding The One lost and the one he won, the Florida Bush constantly into your fifth class, allow me to pass on a dare from used primary campaign identification. To Dar Williams: Go ahead, push your luck; find out how this Jeb as his of day, thousands autos still drive around the state much love the world can hold. It’s out there, and it’ll bumper strips that say simply; “Jeb.” come get you when you’re good and ready. But not with Through 20th century presidential history, headline when you’re looking. writers have compressed presidents’ names into threeLet love find you.

A president by any other name...

Guest

The three-letter chain was broken with the election of Richard Nixon, his last name apparently short enough to satisfy the headline writers. With just four letters, Ford stood untouched and the need to abbreviate declined with Carter, Reagan, the first Bush and Clinton. Now, however, there returns a need to not necessarily shorten names but to customize some to avoid confusion. We need to separate the first president George Bush from the second and to better distinguish the reigning Bushes for Floridians—who still have not fully recovered from the shock of days of ballot shipping and counting. What already distinguishes the presidential Bushes are the middle names, which the first Bush rarely used. But the second—today’s president—has been distinguished by his middle initial, W for Walker. There’s also been an increasing use of “Dubya,” which is a Texas-dialect pronunciation ofW. Do we want a president with just a W? Just one letter? That’s awfully brief. GWB might fit well. We’d have a Bush for the daddy, a Jeb for the brother and a GWB for the present president. I like that a lot better than just W. There’s little presidential sounding about that. Even just GB would be better than W. In as much as the nation’s (or world’s) newspapers do not collude with each other on headline style (or most anything else despite continuing claims to the contrary) it can be expected that there will be no set usage of George W. Bush’s name in abbreviated form. If the father stays deep in the background, then Bush likely will prosper as the headline name for the extant president. But Florida newspapers are going to have to do something significant about brothers George and Jeb. Simply saying “Bush” won’t do; there’s too many of them around.

Women’s basketball nips Wolfpack in close contest By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

62 17-1, a new Duke record. Last night’s record-setting 62-59 59 victory over the N.C. State Wolfpack (11-6, 2-5 in the ACC) certainly did not come easily. In fact, the outcome came down to a play that had not even been run yet this season. “I guess if you are a fan, you have to love coming to our games,” coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Everything goes down to the wire, at least lately.” With 21.8 seconds remaining in regulation, Duke (17-1, 5-1) prepared to inbound the ball. The score stood at 60-59. The previous attempt to get the ball in had proved futile, as none of the Blue Devils were able to break loose from their defenders. “The first inbounds play we wrote during the timeout,” Goestenkors said. “It was a double screen for Georgia [Schweitzer]. If she didn’t get open, Missy [West] was going to come off the double screen as well. Neither player was open.” The safe route failed, so Duke went for the aggressive. A play called Black Back. This was the first time an opponent saw the play this season, but N.C. State is not likely to forget it anytime in Duke NCSU

the near future.

Schweitzer made a quick cut and got a step ahead of the Wolfpack’s Nanna Rivers. Sheana Mosch threw a pass that looked doomed for interception, until it reached a leaping Schweitzer, who never broke stride. The Duke senior avoided the outstretched arms of Rivers and put in the layup to put the Blue

Devils ahead 62-59. “Our previous out-of-bounds play, the girl was cheating up expecting Georgia to get the ball,” Mosch said. “We expected the same thing the next time. Georgia cut and she got wide open. I threw it high enough that I knew Georgia could get it and the other girl couldn’t.” The game was still not over. See BASKETBALL on page 18 P*

Brass, Schwartz honored

I Senior lacrosse captain

Scott Bross and senior defenseman Stuart Schwartz have been chosen to the Face-Off Yearbook preseason AllAmerica second team.

ACC returned 35 of a possible 45 starters and did not lose any players early to the NBA draft. “In this day and time in basketball, it’s probably as veteran a league as you can get,” said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. “There are so many big games this year. There’s anticipation every game, not just some games

like last year.” During a two-year period prior to last season, the ACC lost underclassmen Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, Elton Brand, Steve Francis, Corey Maggette, William Avery and Dion Glover to the pros. Such defections dropped the ACC’s power ranking to fourth in 1999-2000 behind the Southeastern Conference, the Big Ten and the Big East. This season, the ACC is back at No. 1 because players like Shane Battier, Brendan Haywood and Terence Morris stayed in school instead of heading to the NBA. Nonetheless, Clemson coach no longer sees Duke, North Carolina and Maryland as the long ACC elites. “Those teams were playing with a stacked deck talent-wise, not just in this league, but in the entire country” Shyatt said. “Now, we have five teams that can win almost every league in this country and win the national title in the next couple of months.”

Duke's fabulous freshman has only 1 loss In 5 years By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle There’s a different tempo to women’s basketball than men’s basketball. There’s a different rhythm, there are different plays and different rules, different issues and different players. They are different sports. Nobody told that to Alana Beard. On the court, she is brash. She is confident. She is aggressive. She just keeps coming. She has been like that ever since she grew up playing basketball in Frierson, La., alongside her brother, Leroy. “I used to always play street ball with his friends,” Beard said. I was the only girl out there and most of the time everyone would pick me over my brother.” Even then, Beard displayed a poise well beyond her years. Yet, the Duke star who is now among the most talented freshman in the country was not always so fearless. “I just remember a moment when I was a [high school] freshman, I was intimidated,” said Beard, who was too shy to try out for her sixth grade basketball team. “It was in the state championship, and I was intimidated. I got out there, shot my shot and bricked it. I told myself from that point on, never let that happen again.” And it has not happened since.

Beard’s high school coach, Steve McDowell, remembers his star’s frustrations that game, but he also remembers how she handled herself in the same game three years later. As a senior, Beard scored 48 points to secure the fourth straight state championship for her school. “She’s the most coachable girl I’ve ever been around,” McDowell said. “I think it’s unique for all four years for a player to just give you her undivided attention and work so hard and give that extra effort.You hope all girls will do that.” Beard has carried that attitude all the way from Frierson to Durham. With it she has brought along one philosophy: she does not like to lose. She did not like to lose in high school and she did not like to lose on the U.S. national junior team. She never did either, winning every game from her first day of high school through her gold medal victory last summer. As far as Beard is concerned, why start losing now? In her first season at Duke, Beard has held her own against a number of the nation’s

top players. Against LSU early in the season, Beard challenged player of the year candidate Marie Ferdinand and scored 20 points to lead Duke to its first win over a top-10 team. Since that first weekend, Duke has lost only once, and it was not for her own lack of effort. Despite her first collegiate double-double, Beard was visibly emotional, after losing to Clemson last December at Littlejohn Coliseum. It was obvious that losing is something Alana Beard is not used to. More importantly, it is not something she wants to get used to. “I know with my work ethic, I hate to lose,” she said. “I hate to be beaten at anything, even if it’s sprints.... I just knew that my high school coach taught me to be first in everything, always give 100 percent at everything you do. When I’m on the court, I don’t want to leave the court saying I didn’t do my best.” At Duke, she has surprised everyone, except maybe herself. Beard leads the ACC with a stunning 52.2 shooting percentage. She leads Duke in points per game (17.4) and steals (61), and she is second in assists and blocks. Only a handful of games into the conference season, Beard is one of the leading candidates for national freshman ofthe year. Fan websites are littered with comments about one day hanging her jersey from Cameron’s rafters: Hurley, No. 11; Hill, No. 33; Beard, No. 20.

After facing off against Beard earlier this season, Georgia Tech’s Niesha Butler saw a lot of herself in the up-and-coming Beard. In fact, the 1999 ACC rookie of the year was so impressed, she approached Duke’s star afterwards and offered her encouragement. “I told her, just keep doing what you’re doing, girl,”Butler said. The advice and the parallels are not something Beard took for granted. “That’s really inspiring, coming from someone like her,” Beard said. “She’s been rookie of the year, she’s a great player herself. Sometimes it’s hard for a great player to tell another player to continue what you’re doing.” But she is also very humble. With numbers like Beard’s, there is no need to brag. It’s a tough combination, humility and confidence, but Beard pulls it off in a very genuine way. “My coach and my teammates help me develop further and I think at this point they are doing that right now,” she said before adding, “everything we’ve done has always been a team effort ”

Much of that maturity may have developed last summer on the junior national team with Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma. She led that team in scoring as well,

building even more confidence from the fact she could hang with best players in the world

fw .

JJI

Auriemma, who has led UConn to two national championships, never recruited Beard in high school, but, in step with his trademark humor, he joked about that oversight with Beard. “At one point he said, ‘I gave you all the opportunity in the world to recruit me,”’ Beard recalled. “I was like, ‘You’re supposed to recruit me. I’m not supposed to recruit you,’ I said, You want my number now?’ and he said, ‘No, I’m too old for that That was not a mistake Duke coach Gail Goestenkors ”’

would make. “I saw her play in April of her junior year,” Goestenkors said. “It was the weekend after we went to the Final Four and it was in the Deep South Tournament in Birmingham, Ala. My impression was she was the best high school player I had seen.”

A month later, when Goestenkors talked with the Louisiana standout, she was taken aback when she found out how disappointed Beard was; the future Blue

Devil thought she had played awfully.

Beard’s humility has paid dividends, and her talent has spoken for itself. Last week, she was named national star of the week, and such honors have only been the first scenes of a promising career. What lies ahead remains to be seen, but Goestenkors has every reason to be hopeful. “It’s exciting to think how good she can become

ANALYSIS

Nate

Herbal Preparation for #\ n x i 6 t y *

Carlos Boozer and Alvin Jones will battle for supremacy in the lane. While Jones, who leads the ACC in blocked shots and is second in rebounding, provides a dominant inside presence, Battier and Dunleavy will have a distinct advantage on the wings. Battier will likely guard freshman phenom Marvin Lewis, who played a vital role in Tech’s upset of Wake Forest. Jason Williams’ play this year has been nothing short of spectacular. While Akins is a talented playmaker, Williams has shut down many elite point guards this season, most recently Troy Bell of Boston College. Nate James, arguably Duke's best perimeter defender, matches up well against streaky shooter Shaun Fein, who can ignite at any time for the Yellow Jackets.

Both Duke and Georgia Tech depend heavily on their starting fives, requesting little of their reserves.Tech will need a big night from Halston Lane, a three-point specialist. For Duke, Matt Christensen provides strength under the basket and will help defend Jones, while Chris Duhon ranks fourth in the ACC in assists.

When they last played at home, Tech upset then-No. 6 Wake Forest. After impressive back-to-back victories over Virginia and Wake Forest, Tech suffered a letdown on the road against N.C. State and will look to re-establish itself against Duke. The Blue Devils look only to continue their terrific play.

“hold up...”

Nate James and the Blue Devils return from their four-day hiatus to face an upstart Georgia Tech team in the the so-called ‘Thriller Dome.” Duke comes into the game undefeated in the ACC, but has only faced one of the conference’s major powers, Virginia. The Yellow Jackets have already defeated the Cavs and also took out Wake Forest last weekend, but they also suffered a lapse against N.C. State earlier this week.

THE NOD

In addition to two key ACC wins, Georgia Tech boasts quality victories over traditional powers like Kentucky and UCLA. However, Tech possesses neither the talent to match Duke's dominant starting five nor the bench to exploit Duke’s lack of depth. Barring a let—Compiled by Nick Christie down, the Blue Devils should win big. Duke 96-72

Duke’s leading scorer Alana Beard stole the ball from Rivers, who immediately fouled her. While nothing appeared wrong when Beard got up, she badly missed the front end of a one-and-one. Beard, who played all 20 minutes of

the first half, would not return after the break. Goestenkors was not aware of the extent of the injury at the conclusion of the game, but stated that the injury was to Beard’s right thumb. She was taken to Duke Hospital where she was treated by a hand specialist. Beard’s absence was noticeable in the second period, as the Blue Devils frequently struggled in their halfcourt offense. “Alana plays a lot of minutes for us and we are used to her movement,”

Goestenkors said. “I think we were standing around and watching a little bit. She creates so well for herself and her teammates. We need to be able to create for one another.” Fortunately for the Blue Devils, Schweitzer stepped up in her teammate’s absence. The senior point guard scored only two points in the first half, but she rebounded to get nine in the second, including the layup that sealed the victory. “Georgia is someone who is very patient,” Goestenkors said. “She is not going to force things. They were face-guarding her, and they did a great job. In the second half she was a little more aggressive and looked to shoot the ball more.” Schweitzer’s timing proved brilliant, and the Blue Devils opened up to the best start in program history.

Defensive stopper Parent gets job done on both ends It definitely was not pretty. But on a night when the Blue Devils

had to do without their flashiest player for the entire second half, senior forward Rochelle Parent’s workman-like performance was precisely what her team needed. That’s right, Rochelle Parent—the defensive specialist averaging 5.2 points per game—somehow ended up with a team-leading 13 points on six-of-11 shooting.

Her leadership also was demonstrated in Duke’s trademark transition game, as Parent beat her opponents down the floor numerous times, including catching a tough bounce pass from Schweitzer and then impressively converting a fast break lay-up at full speed. Having a forward such as Parent who could run the floor and defend the interior was vital in establishing this advantage. Parent ended up with an impressive line, grabbing eight rebounds to go along with her 13 points. Yet, her impact on the floor still had more to do with the less noticeable aspects of the game: defense and team leadership.

By JIM COUR Associated Press Gary Payton finally “crossed the line” SEATTLE with Seattle SuperSonics coach Nate McMillan. The SuperSonics suspended the All-Star point guard yesterday for tonight’s game against Minnesota at the Key Arena, ending Payton’s streak of 356 con-

secutive starts. The Sonics said the suspension was for “conduct detrimental to the team” following Seattle’s 89-80 home loss to Phoenix on Wednesday night.

During a fourth-quarter timeout, Payton and teammate Ruben Patterson had an angiy

confrontation. “It wasn’t anything that was on the floor,” McMillan said “It

appropriate action.” Payton, 32, hasn’t missed a game since March 15, 1996, when he was suspended by the league for headbutting Joe Wolf. The only other regular-season game he missed in his 827-game career was Jan. 14, 1992, due to a chest contusion.The decision to suspend Payton was made by McMillan after consulting with Wally Walker, the president and general manager. “It was a situation where some things happened and I made a decision. Wally agreed,” said McMillan, Payton’s friend and former teammate who took over as Seattle’s coach Nov. 27. Walker said he attempted to reason with Payton after Wednesday night’s game. “My conversation with Gary and I talked to him for over an hour was, Tou’re too smart not to conclude that some of the things you’re doing just don’t work, particularly as it relates to other people,”’ Walker said. “We know he’s competitive, we know he loves to win. We just can’t accept some of the things he does and says.” Payton was suspended for one game earlier this season after a confrontation with then-coach Paul Westphal in the team’s huddle Nov. 21 at Dallas. The emotional Payton had to be separated from Westphal on the court.Afterward, he criticized Westphal to reporters. Westphal was fired six days later. Walker announced the next day that Payton was suspended for the Sonics’ game that night at San Antonio. Payton met with Westphal, apologized and got the suspension lifted. The Sonics replaced Westphal with the popular McMillan, who became an assistant coach after he retired as a player. And the new coach won’t tolerate Payton’s emotional antics. “As I took over this team, I felt there were necessary changes that needed to be made,” McMillan said. “I’ve said all along that there are certain ways we want to do a lot ofthings around here now and I’m trying to stick to that.” Payton is an 11-year veteran and six-time All-Star who is the team’s career scoring leader. He often has clashed with teammates and coaches. Payton is expected to return to practice tomorrow and play against Sacramento here Sunday night. “When Gary comes back Saturday, I would expect him to play well and support the team and do all the things that we have been and will continue to do to get this team competitive,” McMillan said. “I fully expect that to happen.” The Sonics were sold Jan. 11 by Barry Ackerley to a group of investors, including Starbucks founder Ploward Schultz for $2OO million. Walker will become a minority owner of the franchise when the deal is approved by the NBA Board of Governors.
