Wachovia, First Union combine By MICHAEL BRICK New York Times
First Union Corp. has agreed to buy Wachovia Corp. in a stock deal valued at $13.4 billion, the companies said Monday, in a deal that would create the nation’s fourth largest banking company. Hoping to reduce expenses by $B9O million a year, the North Carolina-based companies plan to cut 7,000 jobs over a three-year period. Mindful of First Union’s recent troubles in integrating mergers, analysts expressed skepticism about the deal. Under the terms of the deal, holders of Wachovia’s stock would receive two shares of First Union stock for each Wachovia share. Based on closing stock prices Thursday, the last day of trading before the deal was announced, Wachovia’s shareholders would have received stock valued at $63.84, representing a 6 percent premium over Wachovia’s stock price. Shares of First Union fell $1.57 Monday, to close at $30.35, reducing the premium. Still, Wachovia’s shares gained $1.85, to $62.05. Though First Union is technically the purchaser, the companies described the deal as a merger of equals, underscoring that notion by retaining only Wachovia’s name. Nine board members would come from each company, while L.M. Baker, chief executive of Wachovia, based in Winston-Salem, would become chair of the new company. G.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear two cases defining what is a disability By LINDA GREENHOUSE New York Times News
WASHINGTON Eleven years after taking effect, the Americans With Disabilities Act is providing a steady flow of U.S. Supreme Court cases, and important questions about its meaning and operation remain unresolved. The court took a step toward answering major questions by accepting two cases for its next term. Both are appeals by employers, one on a question of how to define disability and the other on the employers’ obligation to accommodate disabled workers when the accommodation
conflicts with the rights of other workers in a valid seniority system.
In one case, the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Co. is appealing a ruling by a federal appeals court that an assembly line worker at its Georgetown, Ky, plant who has carpal tunnel syndrome, a repetitive motion injury, meets the law’s definition of disability because her ability to perform manual tasks is substantially limited. The company is arguing that because the woman, Ella Williams, can still do other work and many everyday activities, she suffers only a partial impairment that does not entitle her to the protections of the Americans With Disabilities Act. In the other case, US Airways is appealing a ruling by a different fed-
eral appeals court that a man with a back injury who can no longer work as a freight handler is entitled to a job in the mail room though he lacks the seniority ordinarily needed to get that assignment. The airline argues that the appeals court has misread the law as requiring the elevation of a disability claim over the rights of other employees under a legitimate seniority system. The decision “essentially converts a statute that bars discrimination against disabled employees into one that requires discrimination against non-disabled employees,” US Airways said in its appeal.

Israeli airstrike ups Mideast tension By DEBORAH SONTAG New York Times
JERUSALEM A deadly Israeli airstrike early Monday on a Syrian radar installation deep inside Lebanon unsettled the Arab world just as Israel was receiving the first Arab official to visit since Prime Minister Ariel Sharon took office last month. The official, Foreign Minister Abdallah al-Khatib of Jordan, came bearing a peace proposal that got buried beneath the violent realities of the day. With the region on edge, Palestinian mortar fire struck deeper into Israel than ever before and the Israelis responded Monday night by bombarding Palestinian security installations in Gaza. Israeli officials said Monday that Israel’s overnight

airstrike, which demolished the Syrian radar installation in Lebanon and killed three soldiers, was meant as a warning to Syria and not as an invitation to further escalation in the region. Arab officials, however, said that the Israeli strike, the first on a Syrian target since 1996, constituted an unwarranted and potentially destabilizing aggression by Israel. Syria put its 35,000 troops in Lebanon on high alert and, in a statement, characterized the attack as “a challenge to the will ofthe Arab nation” for which it reserved “its right to defend itself.” American, European and Russian diplomats urged calm and restraint.

Gimme a break: Chapel Hill houses out of reach Exams changed By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle
Students may soon find relief from what some see as a cramped and strenuous final exam week. Provost Peter Lange recently approved a Duke Stu-
dent Government proposal by legislator Vik Devisetty to give students a break during the fall 2001 and spring 2002 final exam reading periods. The extension gives most students an extra day to study in the middle of exam week. For fall 2001, the Friday, Saturday and Sunday before exams will be a reading period, as usual. Exams will be held the following Monday and Tuesday. However, only one exam block—the physics block—will be held on Wednesday. According to Devisetty, this will only affect 10 percent of students, giving most test-takers a break from the constant stress of consecutive exams. Tests will end Saturday afternoon. A similar system will be implemented in Spring 2001.
“We wouldn’t add any days to the current calendar,” said Devisetty, emphasizing the efficiency of the plan. This is accomplished by condensing some block exams. For example, since no students simultaneously take a course like Chemistry 11 and a higher-level course in the same subject area, such as Chemistry 151, the testing blocks for these subjects will be placed in the same time slot. This form of condensing has not always been utilized in the past. Originally, the proposal called for no exams at all on Wednesday. However, this option would have required some students to take tests on a Saturday night, complicating student and faculty schedules. “We chose this option because undergrad students, grad students and faculty agreed that we would prefer not to have a Saturday night exam,” Devisetty said. “We’re really excited [about the plan],” said Dr. Judith Ruderman, chair of the University Scheduling Committee and vice provost for Academic Af-
fairs. Ruderman also emphasized that the plan is a pilot project and could be subject to change in subsequent semesters if adverse effects are found. Ruderman and others hope the extra day will be used by students to better pace their studying and solidify an understanding of course material before later exams. Other changes will be implemented as well to make exam time easier for undergraduates; Parts of the library system will be open 24 hours and dining services will be extended.

GPSC ends year with 2 new Trustee committee seats By JENNIFER WLACH The Chronicle
The Graduate and Professional Student Council closed out the year last night with a wrap-up of committee work and plans for the 2001-2002 academic year. President-elect Elayne Heisler began by detailing the new executive board’s initiatives, which include working towards an increased GPSC presence on campus, writing a bi-weekly column in The Chronicle and creating summer events to make GPSC a year-round organization. Heisler added that she hopes to continue the work and programming of her predecessor Cybelle McFadden and outgoing vice president Ryan Opel. Opel reported to the council about the first roundtable discussion held this semester. The discussion group, which brings together leaders of several prominent student groups to talk about campus issues, recommended the addition of two meetings per semester next year. McFadden then announced to the council that the Board of Trustees voted to add an additional GPSC
seat on each of the five standing committees. GPSC will elect these new members pending approval from the general Board. John Cook, a second-year law student, addressed the group on his work as a liaison to the Duke University Police Department. Cook said that “things seem secure with graduate students,” adding that previous issues of theft at the Law School have been eliminated. Though some graduate students had voiced concern about proper lighting in parking areas, Cook noted that fighting “is
not the job of student police to correct.” Continuing with issues of graduate student parking, GPSC members approved a resolution presented by Cook that will be given to the University Parking Task Force. The resolution is intended to give the task force more power to rectify the current problems of limited
parking space. Brian Bolten, a first-year Fuqua student, reported on the Duke Athletic Council Meeting that outlined the budget and objectives for the 2001-2002 school year. Bolten said that the committee’s three main goals are
“increased student aid to athletes, an increased scope for women’s sports and to address the issue of escalating coaches’ salaries.” Bolten followed with the news that the athletic department has shown interest in meeting with GPSC to increase the number of men’s basketball tickets allotted to graduate students. Opel then took the floor again to discuss the graduate student insurance policy. He said that the outcome ofthe insurance survey showed that 61 percent of graduate students were against the “drug card,” and that the insurance policy would “retain its family-friendly structure, as opposed to switching to spousal rates.” GPSC members unanimously approved next year’s budget, with additional funds allocated for advertising and increasing the quality of the GPSC handbook. The council also voted in two new committee members: Bolten to the Athletic Advisory Committee, and Nathan Kirkpatrick to President’s Advisory Council on Resources. Finally, McFadden closed the last meeting of the year with an announcement for the End ofthe Year Appreciation Barbecue to be held Sunday, May 6.

WASHINGTON
The White House said Monday
that President Bush would personally decide when to resume reconnaissance flights along the Chinese coast and whether the planes, which have previously flown unescorted, should be protected by U.S. fighter aircraft.
How and when to resume the flights is emerging as a sensitive issue. Bush is not likely to come to any conclusions, officials say, until after U.S. military officials meet with Chinese officials in Beijing on Wednesday to review the causes ofthe midair collision on April 1 that resulted in the loss of a Chinese fighter jet and its pilot and the emergency landing of an American EP-3E Aries II and its crew of 24. But even more delicate than when the flights resume is how the Navy will conduct them.

Independents get their own survey on campus climate By VICTORIA KAPLAN The Chronicle
Commons rooms. Swing space. Alcohol. Linked dorms. These words are being tossed around frequently as a result of several new University proposals regarding student life. In an effort to make sure that the voices of independent students are heard in these discussions, junior Sean Young, Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction, has begun a study of independent life on West Campus. Young, who was appointed DSG Residential Life Liaison last week by DSG President-elect and senior C.J. Walsh, said he developed the study to “explore different ways to improve the lives of in-
dependent students.” Young became interested in conducting the study after several of his independent friends expressed concern that there was not enough interaction be-
tween independents and members of selective houses and fraternities. “I hear different things from different people, but the voice of independent students has been the softest,” Young said. “We want to know what kind of culture [independents] want to see on West.” Karen Unis, a senior who has lived in
House C for three years, said she was happy with her experience as an independent student, but “[wished] there were more social opportunities not associated with living groups like fraternities.” She suggested more events such as dorm barbecues and organized nights out. To address such concerns, a residential life review committee has recommended building a stronger West Campus community by giving students the option to live with members of their freshman dorm when they move to West.
Unis said that she supports this idea and that she thought it would benefit in-
dependent students. Others agreed. “My biggest complaint [about independent living] is that you completely lose the community feeling you had as a
freshman,” said sophomore Josh Solt, who also suggested that more dorm activities might promote unity among independent students. But Judith White, director of the residential program review, said that her
observations indicated that independents do not take advantage of organized dorm activities. White said that she hopes Young’s study would also look at the involvement of independent stu-
dents beyond the dorms. ‘You miss the heart of independent life if you only ask about residential life,” White said. “Would [independents] prefer better support in residential life or in their other activities?” DSG legislators Jonathan Ret, a junior, and Brad Schoenfeldt, a sopho-
more, have helped Young generate the study, which includes an e-mail survey and a series of voluntary informal discussions in dorm commons rooms. The survey was sent yesterday to all undergraduate independent students living on West Campus this year, except for those living in fraternity or selective house sections, due to logistical difficulties. Ret was pleased that 137 of approximately 900 students had already responded within 14 hours of sending the survey. Organizers hope to gather all their information by the end of the school year and will compile the results over the summer. Afterwards, the committee will submit a written report to White and other student affairs officials. “I hope administrators and students alike will use this as a resource for what students want on West Campus,” Young said.
EPA will not strike Clinton’s wetlands protection ruling By DOUGLAS JEHL
New York Times News Service
The Environmental Protection WASHINGTON Agency said Monday that it would leave in place a Clinton administration rule that will expand protection for tens of thousands of acres of wetlands across the United States. The decision is a big defeat for developers, who have contended for years that the action would impose restrictions far beyond those authorized by Congress. A challenge to the rule by the National Association of Home Builders is pending in U.S. District Court in Washington. The rule was to have taken effect on Feb. 17, but had been set aside for 60 days as the Bush adminis-

Wachovia, First Union merger surprises many analysts :
BANK MERGER from page 1 ofFirst Union, based in Charlotte, would retain that title in the combined companies. The new company, which will also be based in Charlotte, will possess “sufficient density of coverage and depth of talent to leverage its leading share in key growth markets,” Baker said in a statement. “Our corporate cultures are very similar, focused on
customer relationships.” The combined company would control $324 billion in assets and $182.9 billion in deposits from 18.8 million customers. It would have 2,900 branches and 90,296 employees, though the job cuts would reduce that number by almost 8 percent. As such, it would trail only Citigroup, Bank of America and J.R Morgan Chase in size in the United States. The combined company plans to take a charge of $1.45 billion to cover staff training, retention efforts and severance packages. The two companies said they might have to divest themselves of up to $2 billion in deposits to obtain regulatory approval. Analysts said word of First Union purchasing anything came as a surprise because the company lost customers in prior mergers. “They claim that that will be different this time,” said William R. King, analyst for ÜBS Warburg Fixed Income. “That’s a pretty lofty objective, but everyone needs a target.” First Union announced plans to buy the Money Store, Signet Bank, Wheat First Butcher Singer Inc. and Covenant Bancorp in 1997 and Bowles Hollowell Conner & Company and the CoreStates Financial Corporation in 1998. More recently, each company made an individual attempt at cost-cutting. Wachovia announced in August that it would cut 1,800 jobs, two months after First Union announced it would cut 3,500 jobs in an expense reduction effort that included closing the Money Store. “Successful mergers today are about satisfied customers and energized employees,” Thompson ofFirst Union said in a statement. “Throughout this transition, customers will remain our top priority.”

Supreme Court’s decisions will define what is a ‘disability’ � DISABILITY from page 2 While both cases are important, the issue of defining disability is more urgent. In a brief on behalf of Toyota, the National Association of Manufacturers told the justices that there were about 850,000 instances of carpal tunnel syndrome a year. Regarding the syndrome as a disability, instead of an injury entitling the em-
ployee to workers’ compensation duringrecovery, “will open the floodgates to a crippling surge of litigation,” the manufacturers’ group said. Although the case before the court, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky vs. Williams, No. 00-1089, concerns carpal tunnel syndrome, the legal question is not limited to a particular ailment.
The question is how to interpret the language of the statute, which defines disability as “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities.” The law defines major life activities as “functions such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning and working.” The law prohibits employment discrimination against “qualified individuals with disabilities,” defining them as those who “with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the employment position.” Employers must provide a “reason-
able accommodation” unless doing so will be an “undue hardship.”
In finding that carpal tunnel syndrome had disabled Williams, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Cincinnati, found that she was substantially limited in her ability to perform manual tasks associated with working, as well as with “recreation, household chores
and living generally.” The appeals court said Williams was entitled to a trial on whether Toyota had offered her a reasonable accommodation, a question not raised in the Supreme Court case. In its appeal, Toyota argued that the
6th Circuit set the standard too low, finding disability for an impairment that merely affected, rather than significantly restricted, a major life activity. The company said other appeals courts
around the country had adopted a more restrictive definition, both for carpal tunnel syndrome and for other conditions. Williams, 41, developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists from working with vibrating pneumatic tools. The company allowed her to transfer to a quality control position, which involved visual inspection with little physical activity. She was successful at that job for three years. The company then changed the job requirements to include sponging and wiping cars as they moved down the assembly line, tasks that required gripping tools and holding the arms out at shoulder height. Her pain returned, and when Toyota would not let her resume the previous inspection job, she stopped coming to work and filed a lawsuit.
Israel defends strike as defensive; Lebanon makes same claim ISRAEL from page 2 the Iranian-backed, Syrian-abetted Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon, who killed an Israeli soldier over the weekend, for deliberately provoking Israel, though it did not endorse the Israeli retaliation. Israel’s defense minister, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, described the Lebanon airstrike as defensive, saying it &
followed the killing of three Israeli soldiers and the
kidnapping of three others by Hezbollah since Israel withdrew its forces from Lebanon last May.
“We had no choice,” Ben-Eliezer said, “but to send a
clear message to the Syrians: Only you can stop the
Hezbollah.” The unseasoned leadership of Syria’s young president, Bashar Assad, left hanging the question of how his government might respond. But if the past is any indication, it is unlikely that Syria will respond directly. While Syria has endured as an implacable foe of Israel, its border with Israel remained quiet after 1974 and all attacks were carried out via proxy forces—like Hezbollah—in Lebanon.
Later Monday, six mortar shells were fired from Gaza at the city of Sederot, about three miles from the border inside Israel. There were no casualties, but it was the deepest penetration yet of mortar fire from Gaza, and Israeli officials called it a serious escalation by the Palestinians. Monday night, after a meeting of Sharon’s inner Cabinet, the Israelis responded by firing missiles on Palestinian security headquarters in central Gaza. At least two Palestinians were wounded, Palestinian officials said in preliminary reports.

Fixing the NCAAs
Recent
rule change proposals by the NCAA management council
are well-intentioned but would further exacerbate the divide
between the haves and the have-nots of college basketball. The new rules would allow student-athletes to receive money for private lessons, allow potential professional basketball players a one-time $20,000 loan and limit college basketball teams to scheduling 29 games, with exemptions only for conference and postseason tournament play. The NCAA makes millions off the skills of its student-athletes; it is not unreasonable for them to expect a slice of the pie considering the vast benefits they are providing to their community. Practice and travel schedules essentially eliminate their chances of holding a work-study job, and many do not have the money to go see a movie or have their parents come once a season to see them play. All athletes should have the opportunity to take out loans, not just potential draft picks. Top athletes at top schools already have a competitive advantage—for example, Duke’s men’s basketball team has three catered gourmet meals a day in addition to top medical and rehabilitation facilities. It doesn’t make sense only to allow basketball players at the top schools to take out student loans. Because of the tremendous potential for corruption, the NCAA must use its authority to act as a strong regulatory body. In the current system, the NCAA is guilty of selective enforcement and unnecessary restrictions. The NCAA is so hell-bent on enforcing amateurism that college athletes do not have the same opportunities as regular students. It is time for reform in college athletics and an effective NCAA that has clear and nondiscriminatory enforcement mechanisms. Allowing athletes to make the going rate in lessons at summer camps is simply common sense. These athletes have a marketable skill that they have worked hard to refine and should be allowed to financially capitalize on their talent if demand for their services exists. While the NCAA seems willing to end some restrictions, it is imposing needless ones- upon college basketball. In making each early-season tournament game count, the NCAA would injure the sport. This action would severely restrict the number of marquee programs that participate in events such as the Great Alaskan Shoot-out or the Maui Invitational. Without big-name draws, tournament organizers worry that these tradition-filled events will not be able to sustain themselves. These tournaments are the best thing about college basketball in November and December —most fans would rather see powerhouses lock horns on national television than a slate of big schools cash in by pummeling the weakest Division I teams. This decision was made to benefit the six power conferences, and the big losers would be mid-majors. Middle-tier schools need the financial windfall these tournaments provide in addition to the chance to prove themselves against the nation’s best. Major-conference schools rarely schedule strong mid-majors during the season, preferring a mix of marquee games against power teams and easy wins against cupcakes. Eliminating these opportunities is a classic case ofthe rich getting richer, which may fit their narrow self-interests, but is not in the best interests ofthe game.

Professor’s letter shows need for minority faculty After reading James B. Duke
Professor Jerry Hough’s April 11 letter to the editor, I was left with the vain hope—a wish, really—that it was some absurd attempt at satire. Unfortunately, no amount of wishing will make that so. Instead, Hough’s letter was a serious attempt to speak on a serious issue, during which he condescended to his readers and displayed a shocking lack of understanding of the complexities of race on Duke’s campus. I am a white woman at Duke who recognizes the racist inaccuracies of the Horowitz ad. It affects me in a different way than it does my black peers, but I can still understand it as offensive and degrading. More importantly, I can see and hear that it makes an entire group within our community feel
for referenced
angry, hurt and alienated. Hough dismisses all this as “silly.” I would hope that
most Duke professors do not so easily dismiss the concerns of their students. I mean no disrespect to a distinguished Duke faculty member; however, saying that “blacks need to learn to think politically” and calling upon them to “acquire the self-confidence of [Coach] Krzyzewski” show a privileged callousness and ignorance that only reinforce the need for action among those to whom he is preaching.
Hough claims that these “fragile” students—the ones who reacted to an ad attacking their dignity—are not strong enough for “responsible” jobs. I always thought that standing up for what one believes was an act of leadership and responsibility. Indeed, students involved
with the Movement exhibit courage, strength and above
all, self-confidence. But self-confidence is not enough to end the legacy of slavery. No action on the part of African-Americans alone can destroy that legacy—it belongs to all of us. It is sadly evident in Hough’s insulting letter, which tells students not only how they should feel about discrimination but even the extent to which they face it. If anything can be learned from Professor Hough’s letter, it is that the Duke Student Movement’s complaints are founded in truth. At thevery least, the need for minority faculty who are empathetic to the needs of their students has been made painfully clear.

A Duke chapter completed 4:30

Tuesday Jordan Bazinsky
“To my parents, whose love and support was an inspiration on the good days, and a safety net on the bad.” One day I will write a book, and that will be its opening dedication. Sitting here makes me want to laugh—four years removed from move-in at Bassett, thinking about how Duke has affected what my future novel will contain. The main thrust of my book is easy to determine, because it is an idea that has fascinated me over the past couple of years: how outrage at social injustice drives us to take action, and how this action leads to personal growth, and occasionally, social change. My first chapter opens with a scene from West Campus. I color in the brilliant orange of sunlight reflecting off of a Frisbee on a warm spring morning, and shade it with the bleary red eyes of the midnight housekeeping staff on their way home. It is a world where the idyllic is often the ordinary, and yet an everpresent sense of something wrong lies just on the periphery. There is so much beauty and opportunity here that it overwhelms any 18-year old, but we barely recognize it until we are about to graduate. However, we only really see the opportunity when we turn away from the beauty toward the images that arouse our outrage and lead us to action. My characters match the dichotomy of my surroundings: smart, attractive people leading busy lives, sometimes blinding them to the injustice that is just as much a part oftheir everyday routine as the quads and classes. Even awareness does not necessarily provoke action. There is something terribly wrong with a world where
we recognize injustice around us every day and there is no outcry. Where is our outrage? I often lose mine between classes and having a life (I am a character as much as an author, after all). Still, my experiences at Duke lead me to have hope. You can’t blind smart people from the truth forever, and when they see it, they feel outrage, a disdain so strong that it colors their vision, so that they see red shadows where there used to be orange sunlight.

.
Outrage turns to action; many points on the timeline of Duke’s life exemplify this. When did a culture that subjugated minority groups cause the Allen Building takeover? When did the Woman’s College cease to exist as an inferior counterpart to the men’s? Even this year, when did the Duke Conservative Union start placing ads, the Duke Student Movement issue demands, and Students for Life create a graveyard for aborted fetuses juxtaposed by headstones for victims of abortion clinic violence developed by Students for Choice? Each of these happened at a literary climax in the story of Duke, a pivotal moment when its charac-
ters opened their eyes and felt outrage. But I am not writing a history book. I am writing a story about a group of people who must choose between turning their heads away from the ugliness in their world and embracing that ugliness and reshaping it. I don’tknow what this choice will be—in fact, it’s the one part of my book that I am leaving for all of you to write. It is a choice we all make as we discover that today isn’t just a day fading into another, but a chance to cultivate a thousand distinct Moments. Many friends have added to my last four years of (admittedly small) moments. There are not enough words to say thank you to all my friends who mean the world to me. Thank you, also, to those in DSG who knew the difference between being a public servant and being a politician and chose the former. To Ms. Jones, who has kept DSG in order for the last two decades, and helped keep my life in order when all. else failed. To Ronit for the ideas that are as fantastic as her, including some of the ones above. To Jimmy, because I am better having known him, and because the only days I ever looked good this year were probably a result of his hard work. To Katie, who illustrated my own book with vivid watercolors, and always stuck around to clean up afterwards. To Clayton and Jim, two of the best friends and roommates one could ask for. To Josh, who consistently held the sky from falling on me and never once complained that his arms were tired. We should all be lucky enough to have one of him in our lives. My book will include some of that. It will begin slowly, take deep twists and come up for air only to plunge itselfback into a whirlwind of confusion, always picking up speed until finally ending in a manic rush. A lot like life at Duke, wouldn’t you say? Jordan Bazinsky is a Trinity senior and Duke Student Governmentpresident.

Two-month delay may be Good schools fuel demand made up by doubled crew for Chapel Hill residences � CONSTRUCTION from page 1 tree stumps and a few sewer lines. The two-month construction delay may not actually result in a later opening date for the new dormitory, which is scheduled to be completed by fall 2002. To make up for the lost time, the University plans to double its construction crew this summer, once the exterior shelves of the building are
complete.
Then, as each building exterior is finished, Duke will start on the comstructures’ interiors. This means the University will seek stock-
pleted
ing permits for each individual building instead of the entire complex. If all
goes according the plan, administrators will assume control of WEL in the third week of July 2002. White said that the project’s contractor has agreed to absorb the cost of the additional crew members, but Duke paid for the additional excavation and refilling. “[We built in] contingency funds. What this means is, we’ve eaten up part of the contingency fund, not that we’re over budget,” White explained. This emergency cost the University about 25 percent of the contingency fund. In all, the WEL and extensive renovations to West Campus dorms are expected to cost $75 million.
r CHAPEL HILL HOUSING from page 3 is unlikely to issue many more housing permits, as about 90 percent of Chapel Hill’s land is already developed. Realtor Jim McDavid of Realty Executives said the demand is particularly high because consumers are willing to pay for Chapel Hill’s public school system, often dubbed the best in Orange County. McDavid also called Chapel Hill a “perceived Mecca” because of the media attention it receives from the presence of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and nearby Duke. Chapel Hill housing board member Chris Beacham said the increase in UNC-CH students living off campus N

has exacerbated the situation, as students sharing a single housing unit are able to outbid families and workers and drive prices up. “Larger percentages of the work force are living outside of the town, which is not something the town wants,” Beacham said. Still, housing outside of Chapel Hill is more abundant and cheaper. For example, Diane Starrett, a realtor for Coldwell Banker Advantage, said that houses of equal age and size cost about 25 percent more in Chapel Hill than in Durham.

Chinese, U.S. officials meet tomorrow Latinos get help with auto loans P" CHINA from page 5
But at a Monday briefing, Bush’s spokesman Ari Fleischer said no decision has been made. The Secretary of Defense will be making a recommendation to the national security team for the president and to the president” on the spy flights, he said, adding that the recommendation will include advice on “other associated missions that may or may not go along with those flights.” At the Wednesday meeting in Beijing, the Chinese are expected to demand an end to the surveillance flights, even though they have always taken place legally over international waters that can not be reg-
also*
ulated by the Chinese. U.S. officials say they will not give in on their right to fly the missions, and will insist on establishing rules with the Chinese to keep the Chinese and U.S. planes a safe distance from each other. But it is far from clear that the Chinese will agree to such rules, or that they will agree to even discuss the matter on Wednesday. “I think it’s dependent on the attitude that the two sides bring to the occasion,” Richard Boucher, the State Department spokesman, said Monday. “We look forward to the Chinese bringing a non-polemical attitude to it and see what we can do there.” The U.S. delegation will be led by the Defense Department, although the State Department will also be represented. It will be headed by Peter F. Verga, a deputy undersecretary of defense for policy. Among the other Americans will be Gen. Neal Sealock, the defense attache working out of Beijing who frequently met with the 24 U.S. crew members when they were detained on Hainan island for 11 days, ending last Wednesday. The United States had proposed that the two countries discuss the incident at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Military Maritime Commission, which Washington and Beijing created in 1998 to increase communications between their respective military forces.
The commission is scheduled to meet in San Francisco on April 23. But the Chinese rejected that suggestion, preferring to discuss the standoff in a separate forum “I don’t know if it will be the first of many meetings,” said a senior State Department official. “We’d like to have a meeting and resolve the issues and move on. Among the things that we want, we have a $BO million airplane, which is ours and we think the Chinese have a responsibility to return to us. “We have questions about their aggressive tactics when our planes are flying in international airspace,” he continued. “They undoubtedly have questions about these matters.” Because the session in Beijing—held there at Chinese insistence—will be the first since the crew’s release, U.S. officials say it may be a indicator of the immediate future of China’s interactions with the
United States.
The senior official said if it is more “shrill, from their point of view, then maybe the Chinese have not made up their minds what kind of relationship they want with us,” the senior official said. The Chinese will undoubtedly also be looking for signals from the U.S. They are acutely aware that the Bush administration will be deciding within weeks what kind of arms to sell to Taiwan. If the administration goes ahead with selling the most sophisticated goods on Taiwan’s wish-list, including destroyers equipped with Aegis radars, China is likely to take a far harder line on American presence off its coast. But U.S. officials say that even a decision to sell Taiwan the less advanced Kidd-class destroyers could well be interpreted by Beijing as a significant upgrading of U.S. aid to the island, which China regards as a renegade province. “You can’t make a decision like this based on what the Chinese will think, or even on whether our relations will Beijing are going through a good phase or a bad phase,” said a senior official involved in the decision. “All you can do is make the judgment based on Taiwan’s defense needs.”
� LATINO CREDIT UNION from page 1 ate this problem, the LCCU provides checking accounts at very low rates. The money is available in all ofNorth Carolina’s 100 counties at an ATM with the North Carolina Cash Points system, which allows customers to take out or deposit money anywhere in North Carolina for free. The LCCU also offers other programs with low-income Latinos in mind. The credit union provides free check cashing and low-interest loans for cars. Often, Latinos are charged at or above the legal limits for car loans and check cashing, Herrera explained. “There are some predatory folks who have been trying to take advantage of Hispanics, especially undocumented ones with no readily available identification, by charging them 30 percent,” Herrera said. The legal limit for car loan interest is 29 percent. Herrera also explained that many Latinos send money back to their home countries to help support their families. The LCCU makes money wiring more accessible by charging lower rates, he said. “The number one reason to come [to the U.S.] is to work and send money home to the [family],” Herrera said. To facilitate money transfers, the credit union provides wire transfers of up to $l,OOO to Mexico for only $lO. Western Union normally charges $5B for the same service. Instrumental to the LCCLTs success is the degree of outreach within the Latino community. Jose Orellana, a customer of the credit union, said he heard about the credit union by word ofmouth. “[My friend] heard about it from one of his friends,” said Orellana, who had not considered opening an account with any other banks before visiting the LCCU.

Super sophs Title banner hits rafters at banquet picked 2002 team leaders By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle
Even though the men’s basketball season ended with Duke’s victory over Arizona in the national championship game, that was only the beginning of
the celebration. As they do each year, the Blue Devils held their annual banquet last night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. But unlike the vast majority of these events, the purpose of this celebration was to celebrate Duke’s national
By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle
No matter what Duke alumnus and Sports Illustrated writer Seth Davis says, as far as the Duke basketball
team is concerned, Jason Williams will be back next season. And to affirm this belief, the team named its star sophomore, along with rapidly developing classmate Mike Dunleavy, co-captain of next year’s squad
championship win. The title banner was raised at the conclusion of last
night’s festivities. “I can’t stop smiling,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I’ve been this way since the national championship game.” The likelihood of Krzyzewski’s latest achievement seemed to be in doubt after 1999, when three Blue Devil players—Elton Brand, Corey Maggette and William Avery—bolted the Gothic Wonderland for greener pastures in the NBA, and embattled center Chris Burgess transferred to Utah. These early departures, combined with the graduation of prolific threepoint scorer Trajan Langdon, sent a shockwave through the program. And the despair was noticeable at that team’s postseason celebration. In fact, as some players recollected throughout last night’s banquet, many people in the college basketball world were speculating that the mass exodus would result in the end of the Blue
Although Williams announced
halfway through the season that he be would returning for
his junior year, many became skeptical of the New Jersey Jason Williams native’s true intentions after he attained his biggest goal of winning a national championship. The speculation only increased after the title game, when Williams came across as less-than-enthusiastic in his. homecoming at Cameron Indoor Stadium the day after the Blue Devils’ victory over Arizona. And most recently, Davis, a CNNSI columnist with strong ties to the Duke basketball community, reported in his online column that an unnamed source close to Williams believed that the first-team All American would enter the NBA
draft. This declaration shocked the Duke community, considering that only days earlier in an interview with The Charlotte Observer, Williams’ mother Althea reaffirmed her son’s commitment to stay another season. But from the start of Duke’s basketball banquet last night, members of the program were quick to dispel any fears that Williams was still pondering his options. When handing out an award to the point guard for recording the most assists this season, assistant coach Chris Collins bluntly noted that Williams would be back to repeat his accomplishment next year. “[Jason is] someone we’re real excited to have back next year,” Collins said to a standing ovation. And later in the evening, after he was introduced as one of next year’s cocaptains, Williams reiterated he will be a member of next year’s team.

Baseball tries to regroup against A&T From staff reports After one of its most disappointing weeks of the season, the baseball team will attempt to pick up a victory tonight against North Carolina A&T in nearby Greensboro. Heading into the 7 p.m. game at War Memorial Stadium, the Blue Devils (17-24) have lost five straight games after what had been a surprisingly successful season. The struggles of the past week began with a thumping at the hands of third-ranked Georgia Tech, but then became even more problematic when Duke relinquished 17 runs last Wednesday in a home game against A&T (17-21). Prior to that game, Duke coach Bill Hillier said he expected the Aggies to attack with the same fervor as the Blue Devils did when they upset Georgia Tech the previous Saturday. Hillier’s fears were realized and the favored Blue

Going West-phal Only months after being fired by the Seattle Supersonics, Paul Westphal was hired as the new coach of Pepperdine. Westphal’s son, Mike, is a walk-on for the Waves.
Devils endured one of their most painfully drawn-out losses of the season. Since that loss to the Aggies, Duke’s worn-down pitching staff has been torched. Six pitchers were wasted in the loss to A&T and the depletion has been visible, as the Blue Devils have relinquished 43 runs in four games. The Aggies, meanwhile, have had six full days to rest since their marathon outing with Duke. Originally scheduled for Feb. 14, this contest is a makeup game that will begin a nearly month-long stretch of games against inter-state rivals. The Blue Devils will next play in Chapel Hill for a three-game road stand against archrival and conference power North Carolina. They will then play six games against East Carolina, N.C. State, Davidson and Campbell.

last night’s game between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers at Safeco Field—the first for Rodriguez in his former town since the shortstop signed a record $252 million contract with the Rangers. “I don’t care what comes out of their mouths, I still love them,” Rodriguez said of Seattle fans in a pregame news conference. He said it had already been an emotional return to the city where he played six seasons—and it was strange walking into the visitors’
Alex Rodriguez’s millions did not get him a win in his 7 return to Seattle. Booed every time he walked to the plate, Rodriguez was l-for-5 with a single last night as his Texas Rangers lost to the Mariners 9-7. A sellout crowd of 45,657 not only booed the fourtime All-Star, whose $252 million, 10-year contract is the richest in sports history, but some fans threw fake money from the upper decks of Safeco Field. “I think it’s all in fun,” he said. “That’s why they’re some of the greatest fans. They were in postseason form. If I was wearing a Mariners uniform tonight, they would have been cheering for me.” Seattle, which leads the AL West, took a 6-0 lead after two innings against Ryan Glynn (0-3) and beat the Rangers for the third time in four games this season.

clubhouse. Rodriguez ate lunch in the city yesterday and posed for pictures and signed autographs. He said he was excited to play before his former fans, but expected to be booed. He added that the controversy was “good for baseball.” Fans swarmed around the Texas dugout during the Rangers’ batting practice. They waved and cheered when Rodriguez ran by. But a few minutes later Rodriguez took batting practice, and fans began booing from all directions. “I sure don’t know how they feel about me, but I know how I feel about the city... I’m in love with this city,” he said. That feeling, however, was not evident when he signed a letter to Boeing Co. officials saying they should relocate to Dallas. Rodriguez said his actions were in response to a request by Rangers ownership to endorse the city; he also thought the aerospace giant already had made a final decision to move its headquarters from Seattle. “It was never presented as Seattle versus Dallas,” he said. A neon pink “KRod” sign was one of many banners in the leftfield bleachers before the game, a play on Rodriguez’s nickname, A-Rod.

A DEROGATORY SIGN welcomes Alex Rodriguez back to Seattle’s Safeco Field,
building the new stadium, and he also worked on Safeco. “We don’t appreciate building that stadium for Alex and the other superstars and have him walk away,” Kelly said during a lunch
break at the Stadium
Market near the ballpark. “To go to Texas is a slap in the face. “If it was New York or another big market I could understand. But to go to Arlington, Texas? What’s in Arlington, Texas? I’m tired of him breaking all my little boys’ hearts.” Audra Higgins, 25, who works for a publishing company near the
stadium, said she would treat the game like any other.
“I don’t really care. I’ll just go watch the game,” she said. “Whatever. We have a shortstop. I hope they lose, though. And I hope nobody riots.” Several Mariners fans eating lunch at Pyramid Alehouse across
the street from Safeco said they understood why Rodriguez took the big bucks. “He went for the money. Who wouldn’t?” pub manager Bob Bunich said. “He played good years for us.” “I still think he’s a good guy,” said Michael Jacovino, a refriger-
ator distributor who attends about 12 games a season. “I’m not
going to bash Alex. He was classy and kept his mouth shut and did his time here. Then he took the highest bid.”
Tim Bellflower said he thinks the Mariners made a “big mistake” when the organization issued a statement last week warning fans to behave. “You threaten someone and you get a fight,” said Bellflower, 43, a wholesale foods distributor. “They’ve created their own problem if there is an over-negative response.”
Karl Sauskojus hoped for a rude welcome. “He played here a long time and all of a sudden he says he wants to be known as a Ranger. That’s backstabbing where your roots are,” said Sauskojus, 20. Jake Bannister, 21, did not have tickets for the game, but he had an
opinion. “I don’t think anyone is worth $252 million,” he said. “I don’t care if they can play baseball.” Rodriguez said any person who was in his position would have had a hard time turning down that kind of money. “There’s this preconceived notion people want to kill me,” he said. “It was a great decision to make. It was an opportunity of a lifetime.”

2000, helping the Mariners reach the AL championship series last season. He is 5-for-16 (.313) with no homers and two RBIs against Seattle this season. With the fans holding up signs such as “A-Wad” and “A-Rod Please Buy Me A House,” the Mariners improved their franchise-best start to 10-3. “I was expecting it,” Rodriguez said. “I’ve been expecting it for a long time. I expect it to be just the same the next two nights.” Manager Lou Piniella and the Mariners’ players were taken aback by the fans’ actions. “It was surprising,” Piniella said. “I didn’t expect that. I was expecting more of a mixed-type reaction. It was almost like the Yankees were in town, right? Remember, Alex had some wonderful years here.” Seattle’s Mike Cameron was disappointed. “That’s tough. No respect. I can’t deal with it,” he said. “People have their own opinion. Maybe the first time. But every single time? Forty-five thousand people made a decision to boo him. You’ve got to remember what this guy brought to the city.” Rafael Palmeiro provided most of the Rangers’ offense, homering twice and driving in five runs. Aaron Sele, given a 6-0 lead, was chased in a fourrun third inning. Ryan Franklin (2-0) relieved and allowed one run and three hits in four innings. “I just got some pitches up and when you get pitches up against a good lineup like that, you’re going to get bad results,” Sele said. “I’m disappointed in myself. I’ve been around long enough to know what to do with big leads.” Norm Charlton pitched two perfect innings and Kazuhiro Sasaki allowed a two-run homer to Palmeiro in the ninth. Seattle got a run in the first on Bret Boone’s RBI single. In the second, the Mariners increased the lead on Mike Cameron’s two-run single, John Olerud’s RBI single, Boone’s run-scoring double and A1 Martin’s RBI groundout.

Blazers throw in towel on Wallace Williams, Battier By LANDON HALL Associated Press
selected co-MVPs
TUALATIN, Ore. Rasheed Wallace was suspended for one game by the Portland Trail Blazers for throwing a towel into the face of teammate Arvydas Sabonis during an argument in a loss to the Lakers. Wallace will be suspended for tonight’s regular-season finale against San Antonio for “conduct detrimental to the success of the team,’r coach Mike Dunleavy said yesterday. It was the second time this season Wallace has been suspended by Dunleavy. Wallace will rejoin the Blazers tomorrow as they prepare for their first-round playoff opponent, likely to be the Lakers. Asked whether Wallace can be a productive member of the team in the playoffs, Dunleavy said, “The answer to that really depends on Rasheed.” “As far as all parties are concerned, hopefully we come to practice on Wednesday and you basically bury
the hatchet,” he added. This was the second time this month Wallace has been suspended by his team for surly on-court behavior. He also was suspended two games by the NBA in TOM HAUCK/ALLSPORT early February for throwing a towel that grazed the RASHEED WALLACE guards Chris Webber earlier this season cheek of referee Gary Benson, who had ejected him. While Wallace’s tantrums over officiating have on the part of both players, but that it did not excuse become notorious, he never had publicly feuded with a Wallace’s action. teammate before Sunday. “The reaction wasn’t, I don’t think, fair, as far as During the third quarter of Portland’s 105-100 loss being warranted.

He got just one technical Pippen stared at Wallace in disbelief. Dunleavy said there was some miscommunication foul in his next five games.
BANQUET from page 17 However, the next two teams turned the difficulties of 1999 into advantages, especially for two Blue Devil upperclassmen. Forward Shane Battier and swingman Nate James eagerly awaited their newfound roles on the team. “[Losing so many players] meant more shots for Nate and myself,” Battier joked. The Michigan native’s more prominent role on offense after his sophomore season was a major factor in his rise to fame as the national player of the year and as spokesperson for college basketball. And if these accolades were not enough, Battier also swept the plurality of the awards at last night’s banquet, winning the Captain’s Award, the Iron Duke award for most minutes played, the True Blue Award for most charges taken, the Deryl Hart award for the team’s scholar-athlete and the award for most rebounds. Of course, these honors were trumped by two awards that Battier shared with two of his teammates; the senior, along with freshman Chris Duhon, won the best defensive player honors, and shared the Swett-Baylin Most Valuable Player award with sophomore Jason Williams. “Your career here stands through the ages for what a student-athlete should be,” Krzyzewski said to Battier from the podium. James also received a high honor last night, picking up the Coach’s Award, representing the player who best exemplifies the commitment and the values
of the Duke basketball program.
The fifth-year senior was especially gratified when giving his senior speech, mentioning that his his ability strengths to recognize and weaknesses-especially those brought about by the injuries he suffered early in his career—was a vital part of his success as a Blue Devil. “Although it took five years,” James said, “I can finally say I’m running my own race.”
