hard-fought contest between the nation’s premier women’s basketball teams gradually evolved into simply an extended celebration Sunday afternoon, as No. 1 Duke blew out second-ranked Tennessee 76-55 at the inaugural women’s Jimmy V Classic.

performance, scoring 22 points, pulling down nine rebounds and handing out seven assists. Fellow junior Iciss Tillis added 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting. The 6-foot-4 Tillis provided many key plays, including a first-half

buzzer beater and a brilliant three-

point play during the decisive second half burst, and the Blue Devils cruised to a dominating victory. “This was a great opportunity for us to show the nation that we were here to play,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “After we lost Monique [Currie], we heard so many people say that we weren’t a great team. But we’re to stay.” After jumping out to an early 13-4 advantage, Tennessee (1-1) struggled throughout the rest of the game. The Volunteers shot just 31.6 percent from the floor and committed 23 turnovers which Duke converted into 38 points.

FORWARD ALANA BEARD drives past Kara Lawson en route to a dominating second-half performance by the Blue Devils to beat second-ranked Tennessee Sunday afternoon. Legendary Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt complimented Duke’s effort while at the same time wrestling with her own frustration at her squad’s poor performance. “Obviously we’re extremely disappointed and embarrassed about our lack of competitiveness today,” Summitt said. “Our inability to commit to rebounding and our turning the ball over was atrocious at times. All I can tell you is that Duke deserves to be the No. 1-

ranked team in the country. Tennessee obviously doesn’t look to be second best right now.”

Undergraduate Admissions. Moreover, the study found, the issues are not unique to prospective students, but are common to—and reflect the concerns of—many current Latino students at the University. In hopes of learning more about how Latinos in America perceive Duke University and dispelling any myths and rumors about the application process for potential undergraduates, the admissions office sponsored a telephonebased survey and information campaign last Sunday to reassure and

UNC rings Duke’s bell with last-minute field goal By PAUL DORAN

Franks will still return as Duke coach next year, Alieva says

The Chronicle

Carolina 23 After two missed field goals and a botched Duke 21 extra point earlier in the game, North Carolina kicker Dan Orner nailed a weak, wobbly 47-yard kick as time expired to beat the football team 23-21 Saturday afternoon and take the wind out of a student body that looked ready to tear down the Wallace Wade Stadium goal posts for the second time this season. The kick, which Duke head coach Carl Franks said looked both wide and short until it somehow miraculously went through the uprights, came on the heels of a seven-play, 45-yard drive in the last 53 seconds of the game by the Tar Heels. The drive not only got them into field-goal range after starting from their own 25, but also allowed Orner’s knuckleball to float through, crushing Duke’s chances at beating their archrivals for the first time since 1989. “I didn’t hit it very well, but I was trying to keep my head down on it as See UNC on Sportswrap page 7

Despite only two wins in the last three seasons and five during his head coaching career, head football coach Carl Franks will remain in charge of the Blue Devils next season, Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said Saturday. “There’s been a lot of speculation going on and I’ve been asked a lot of questions about Coach Franks’ future,” Alieva said. “I just want to end any speculation. He will be our football coach and he will be back next year. Hopefully he’ll continue the trend of improvement we’ve seen lately, and hopefully he’ll be our coach

for a long time.” Alieva said he had made this decision “a while ago” and that it was not dependent on the North Carolina game, which Duke lost 23-21 on a last-second field goal. Alieva also added that he and Franks would be talking about many things in the off season, most notably a possible contract extension and the possible hiring of an offensive coordinator. Currently, Franks serves as his own offensive coordinator, a decision that many people have questioned.

The team plans to make its first inspection Wednesday when it will scour an undisclosed site for tell-tale equipment, chemicals and documents that could provide clues that Iraq has rekindled covert biological, chemical and nuclear programs since U.N. inspectors last withdrew in 1998.

Escaped Sudanese slave relates story By KELLY ROHRS The Chronicle

Francis Bok stood nervously at the side of the room, hands clasped behind his back and eyes surveying the nearly 200 students in the crowd. When he stood behind the podium to tell his story however, he began to relax. Bok, an escaped slave from Sudan, was abducted from a Sudanese marketplace when he was seven. He said hundreds of Arabs came with horses, camels and machine guns, killing many of the people and taking women and children to the north of the country and into slavery. For the next 10 years, he said, Bok worked as a slave for a livestock owner named Giema Abdullah. “I used to cry each morning and each night,” he told the crowd gathered in the Bryan Center’s Von Canon room Sunday. “I learned to be quiet. I learned because it was not only dangerous for adults but for women and children.” When he arrived at Abdullah’s house, there were two children in the front with large sticks. They beat him as part of what he described as his welcome. Bok said he realized quickly that he needed to escape from slavery, but he was afraid to run away because, at only seven years old, he did not want to be eaten by animals on his way to freedom. He spent the next seven years tending goats and cows and sleeping with the livestock. When he was 14, Bok asked his owner three questions: Why was he called a slave, why was he forced to sleep with animals and why did no one love him? Abdullah beat him in response and told him never to ask such questions again. Bok said that Abdullah later told him, “You sleep with the animals because you

are an animal.” Bok ran away several days later. “I am not an animal. I’m a human being,” he remembered thinking at the time. “I would rather die than be a slave.” Bok was caught, returned to Abdullah and beaten. He stayed and worked until he finally escaped to Egypt in 1996. With -

help from international relief organizations, Bok eventually settled in the Unit-

Laborers, shipping companies reach agreement By JUSTIN PRITCHARD The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO West Coast dockworkers and shipping companies have reached a tentative contract agreement that could end the drawn-out labor dispute that shut down the coast’s major ports for 10 days and prompted the president to intervene. The six-year deal would provide wage and benefit improvements for union members, plus technology and dispute-resolution improvements that the companies needed, said Peter Hurtgen, head of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. He praised both sides, saying lead negotiators “demonstrated statesmanlike leadership, which made this agreement possible.” The agreement, reached late Saturday, must be ratified by a majority of the 10,500 members of the In-

Sf'

pension benefits.

“Workers can harness technology and make it work for them,” said AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka, who joined the negotiations. “They can bridle it, saddle it and ride it to job, pension and economic security.”

Hurtgen declined to give details of the agreement but expressed confidence workers would be pleased. “I think once they see the magnitude of the pension increases, the wage increases—it would be phenomenal ifthey were to turn that down,” he said. Joseph Miniace, president of the PMA said health care costs are expected to nearly double from $220 million a year to $5OO million by the end of the deal. Pensions, he said, will end up costing companies more then $1 billion. Sources who are familiar with the negotiations said workers can expect raises of 10 to 15 percent over the six years. In Tacoma, Wash., local union Vice President Dick Marzano said workers were glad to have an agreement before the Dec. 27 end to a Taft-Hartley cooling-off period that was imposed by President George W. Bush.

A caucus of about 100 union members will meet Dec. 7 to vote on the contract, and the entire rank-and-file will probably vote on it in early January, said union president Jim Spinosa. The major sticking points in the negotiations centered on the desire by the Pacific Maritime Association, the industry group, for computerized cargo tracking systems that will make dockside work more efficient, but also cost an estimated 400 jobs.

LATINOS from page 1 est during college fairs and on the admis-

sions office’s website were also contacted. “We wanted to get the pulse of Latino

students and seniors,” said phone-a-thon organizer Bianca Briola, Trinity ’O2, an undergraduate admissions officer responsible for Latino student recruitment. “We hear lots of reasons why they don’t apply, or get admitted but don’t come, so we wanted to find out exactly why.” In addition to finances, family and race, a lack of details about applying to college was cited by many of the prospective students, Briola and others said. “My parents didn’t go to college, so I didn’t know what I was doing [with college applications] either” said sophomore Maria Herrera, a phone-a-thon caller and co-secretary of Mi Gente, a campus group that focuses on Latino issues. “The major [concern] was that [Latinos] are big on

family and staying close to families, so a lot of the families didn’t want [the student] to leave home, but go to a state school or community college instead.” Briola said she understands the students’ concerns, as she dealt with the same issues when applying to Duke. Although the concerns may not be unique to Latinos, she said last week’s campaign showed the challenges to be especially prevalent among Latinos. “My mom just didn’t want me to leave. It is hard for close-knit families to say good-bye to an integral part of a family,” she said. “Also, for tight familial units, there is family pressure.” Briola said that even though students realize the value of a college education, social and financial reasons may prevent them from leaving home—many may be the primary caregiver for siblings or a grandparent dur-

ing after-school hours, for example. For many students, concern about finances is another factor hindering their application to Duke. Since most were not fully aware of financial aid possibilities, the phone-a-thon callers explained the financial aid process. “The students said to me, Tm not rich, why would I consider coming to Duke?’” said sophomore Roger Yamada, publicity co-chair of Mi Gente. “I had to assure them about financial aid and told them that I’m Hispanic and I’m on fi-

nancial aid.” Duke’s perceived racial climate and racial tension create another concern for prospective applicants, an issue that prompted some of the current students to reflect on their personal experiences when advising them. “It’s hard to be Latino here, in terms of how many people that have never been exposed to Latinos before—people who say, Yeah, I’ve never been exposed to Latinos except for the maids in my house.’ People have something set in their mind that this is what Latinos do and how they are,” said senior William Melendez, Mi Gente alumni affairs cochair and another phone-a-thon caller. Latino student representation at the University has been steadily changing. In the Class of 2006, 7.3 percent of students are Latino, an increase of approximately 80 percent over the past five years. “[The increase] is a starting point,” Melendez said. “Not only do we have more numbers of students, but a greater number ofactive students who want to spread awareness. There’s a larger Latino presence—you can feel it on campus.” Other students, however, feel that there is a lack of participation in the Latino community that reduces the perceived Latino presence at Duke. “We’re not lacking a voice, but it may

not be loud enough because of the small number ofLatinos. Not all Latinos here are involved with Mi Gente or are interested in [Latino] topics,” said sophomore Christian Calcines. “Out of the numbers the school puts out, there’s some that are involved and some that aren’t involved.” Steve Villalon, another sophomore, agreed that the number of Latinos who actively connect with their culture is smaller than the number who identified

themselves els Latinos on their college application. This greatly reduces the Latino community’s ability to share its culture, since its numbers are already low, he said. “Many kids say on their application they’re Latino when they have a grandmother that’s half-Hispanic. A lot of them don’t speak Spanish and don’t know much about the culture. To claim you’re something, but don’t really know about it, kind of bothers some people,” Villalon said. “I’m not saying they don’t deserve to be here, but it’s something that needs to be addressed.” The unwillingness to participate in Latino events perhaps stems from a desire to blend in without the stigma of being Latino, he added. Briola said she recognized this issue and understood students’ frustration, but that people have different connections to their heritage, variations that are honored in the admissions process. “Some students say, ‘This is who I am, and I don’t need to advertise that.’ I read their... applications to see their special ties [to their culture] but, in general, we can’t tell people who they are and who they aren’t. I can’t call them and say, ‘You really aren’t Latino,’” she said. “We admit students who have different levels of commitment to their background. We look for great kids—some of them can be Latino, some of them can be white, some of them can be black.”

IRAQ from page 2 chemical and nuclear weapons. Weapons experts say the new urban sites are probably housed in ordinarylooking warehouses and commercial buildings in densely populated areas, where they would be harder to detect by spy satellites and somewhat shielded from American bombs. “It would be like something from ‘The Man From UNCLE,’ where you go in a plain storefront and suddenly find yourself in a weapons lab,” said David Albright, a former nuclear weapons inspector who is president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington. The inspectors will be following a three-part strategy, former inspectors and U.N. officials said. First, they will search for clear evidence of weapons production that could lead directly to charges that Iraq is in “material breach” of U.N. Resolution 1441, which requires it to disarm. But given President Saddam Hussein’s expertise at hiding weapons, officials say it is more likely violations will be documented incrementally, through painstaking detective work that could take months. Inspectors will be meticulously documenting two other types of evidence: pat-

terns of deceit and attempts to obstruct inspections. These could range from disabling jeeps to destroying documents to refusing to account for weapons materials inspectors are certain exist. “The strategy is to come up with a dossier of deception,” said Raymond Zilinskas, a former U.N. weapons inspector who is now with the Monterey Institute for International Studies in California.

This course considers whether political freedom is a contradiction

in terms; it examines both our contempt for politics and the ways politics might be an ethical activity; and it explores the possibilities of participatory democracy while indicating what it means to think and judge politically. The course looks at freedom both as the defining idea of America and as the culmination of what Socrates called the examined life. To these ends the course uses classical as well as contemporary texts, novels and plays as well as case studies such as the play of power among Appalachian miners and the political and moral challenges presented by the Nazi holocaust.

Men’s basketball blows away Army in opener Despite being outmatched and outplayed Cadets gave Blue Devils goo d warmup By JEFF VERNON The Chronicle Duke

101 The men’s basketball team, powered by

Army 53 Shavlik Randolph, trampled the over-matched Army Black Knights Saturday, beating them 101-53 at Cameron Indoor Stadium in both teams’ season openers. Randolph, whose 19th birthday was only hours away, led all scorers with 23 points on 7-for-12 shooting while pulling down seven boards, netting a block and a steal, and not turning the ball over once. “Shavlik played really well,” said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. “He has a nose for the ball and he can score points, He’s going to be a complete basketball player...he’s going to get better

and better.” Shavlik himself also seemed pleased with his night. “I don’t think there is a better way to spend my birthday than having the Cameron Crazies sing happy birthday to me,” Randolph said. Duke used its athleticism to overwhelm the Black Knights early. With nearly every player on the floor facing a height and speed disadvantage, Army struggled against Duke’s fullcourt press. With about four minutes to go in the first half, Duke finally let up and played half-court defense, though the damage had already been done—the Blue Devils led 49-20 and forced Army to commit 16 turnovers in as many minutes. By the end of the game, despite loosening its defense somewhat, Duke had disrupted Army’s offense so much that it had six fewer field goals than its 27 turnovers. “I was really pleased with our team’s defense,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s obvious that we have more talent, when both teams play hard, the team with more talent is going to win.” Army never led or threatened to lead, giving Duke the opportunity to showcase its young, but deep bench.

Krzyzewski often played three or four

freshmen at the same time, and toward the end of the second half, five of the six were on the court, giving the youngsters much-needed experience. “They played very well,” Dahntay Jones said. “They played like a team with their defense. They played very hard, and did what they were capable of doing.” Army faced an uphill battle from the See ARMY on page 8

The army’s 1991 skirmish with Iraq wasn’t this easy. And even if the Cadets had General Schwarzkopf on the sidelines Saturday night, his presence would have been completely ineffectual as Army was overwhelmed by Duke even before the opening tip. Five minutes before game time, Army sheepishly stepped into one of the world’s greatest sports arenas. The unfortunate soldiers knew they were about to get crushed, by the players and infamous fans, euphemistically known as the Cameron Crazies. When referee Larry Rose walked to center court, he must have been chuckling to himself. Duke’s Shelden Williams waited anxiously, his six-footnine frame poised and eager to start his college basketball career. Army’s Joey Payton quivered and timidly stood at attention, rather than jumping, and watched Williams tip the ball to his teammate. JKtm* So much for being Mike Corey all you can be. ;he game fTrif eramp got 0'nee the Game Commentary going, the Cadets did work their tails off. And though senior Andre Buckner and his teammates acknowledged and admired Army’s puritan work ethic, it was clear from the get-go that the Cadets didn’t have the firepower to compete with Duke. “They played hard, they played tough,” Andre Buckner said. “I think they really maximized their potential. They played a really good game.” Amd they still lost by 48 points. Certainly, Duke played better basketball, but the X-factor was superior genetics. Duke had superior height, size, strength, vertical leap, speed and agility. “We’re pushing the ball, playing an up-tempo game,” Williams said. “Our big men, we’ve got a lot of strong big men [to help start that offense], so that [effects how] teams can come after us.” Come after Army they did, bombarding them a defensive strategy that would have impressed General MacArthur. The Cadets turned the ball over more often than they made field goals, and were elated just to get the ball past half-court. That defensive excellence was highlighted by the play of Duke’s leader, Chris Duhon. “We just want to go out, be ener-

Beard hit a hanging jumper, point guard Vicki Krapohl hit from behind the arc and freshman Jessica Foley stroked a run-capping three-pointer of her own, but it was Tillis who shone brightest during the stretch. Despite picking up her third foul after just one minute of play, Tillis remained in the game to score eight points during the game-clinching outburst. Summitt applauded the Blue Devils’ tenacity and focus, particularly in their attention to defense and rebounding. Although the Volunteers, historically one'of the elite rebounding teams in women’s collegiate basketball, actually finished Sunday’s contest with a 44-42 edge under the boards, Duke often looked to be aggressively controlling the glass. “I think, first of all, they had passion for rebounding the basketball today at both ends,” Summit said. “They went after it. They got every loose ball today. That speaks to their intensity and their commitment and their competitiveness.” Although the Blue Devils’ strength was certainly its depth and team commitment, star Alana Beard stood out as the game’s most amazing player. It was Beard who started Duke’s comeback from its opening nine-point deficit with two one-on-one baskets, and it was she who dictated play most of Sunday afternoon with her ability to break Tennessee down off the dribble and her stifling defense. Beard harassed the Volunteer backcourt, recording five steals, and also helped limit Volunteer guard Kara Lawson into nine points on 2-of-8 shooting. Lawson, in turn, was one of several Tennessee players unable to contain Duke’s All-American. “With Alana, she’s above average quick, but what’s hard with her is she’s long,” guard Kara Lawson said. “She has the ability to elevate

and still get an open shot even if you’re right there on her. So I think what separates her is that she has such a great body, and she has a quick step.” Coasting with at least a 15-point lead for the game’s final 14 minutes, Duke danced on and off the court. Sophomore Wynter Whitley—whose tenacious defensive efforts held Tennessee’s Gwen Jackson, a preseason Naismith candidate, to just 12 points and five rebounds—personified Duke’s jubilant attitude. Her impressive Jim Carrey impersonation, an ode to his dance from “Dumb and Dumber,” drew laughter from up and down the Duke bench, as the Blue Devils left the RBC Center jumping in joy.

ICISS TILLIS goes up for a lay up against Tennessee

Women’s basketball crushes overmatched East Carol! By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

Preseason accolades and a feature in this week’s Sports Ulusirly not enough to satisfy Alana Beard, who gave East Carolina a wake-up call Friday night—and it didn’t even take long. Duke’s steadfast guard piled up a pair of layups, four free throws, a threepointer, an assist and a trio of steals, all in just over two minutes, to lead the topranked Blue Devils (1-0) to a 108-46 smoking of East Carolina (0-1). It was the season premiere of what is sure to be the award-winning Alana Beard Show. “It seems like there’s two or three of her out on the court at one time because she’s all over the place,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She does a great job on the ball but she’s also very good in help defense, she takes charges, gets the loose balls and she’s diving on the floor,” Beard finished the night with 22 points and a devilish 6-6-6 of six rebounds, assists and steals each—all in 19 minutes. Duke jumped out early behind three straight shots from Iciss Tillis as part of a 22-3 run and never looked back with Sunday’s matchup against No. 2 Tennessee approaching faster than the finger of a busy scoreboard operator at

Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday. Vicki Krapohl drained two threepointers before Beard’s balanced spurt in a first half that saw Duke knock

down seven of 11 shots from beyond the arc while shooting almost 66 percent from the field en route to 63 points in the first half, two shy of a school record. Though the Blue Devils dropped into a zone after they made shots—and they made plenty of them—in the second half as the Pirates started to find solace in the three-point shot, Duke played suffocating defense throughout, thanks to Beard. The junior guard added five points in the second half to give the Blue Devils a 48-point lead before giving way to the team’s heralded freshmen, who shone in their first career action and a taste test for Sunday’s game. Jessica Foley hit a

freshman record four three-pointers, and the daunting duo of Mistie Bass and Brooke Smith held their own in the post with 13 and 11 points, respectively. Goestenkors, meanwhile, was all business on a big weekend as she failed to even crack a smile when Duke’s Final Four appearance banner for last season was unveiled before the game. “We haven’t been focusing on [the Tennessee game] to be perfectly honest with you,” she said. “We have been talking

about ECU and we’ve been talking about getting better with every game. We don’t have 24 hours, really, to prepare. So it’s not been an issue for us as well. We prefer people did not talk about it because we have other things to worry about.” Friday, at least, the Blue Devils cruised to a 62-point victory that left them with little to fret about.

IQNDfIY, NOVEMBER 25, 2002 �PAGE 5

I Freshman Lindsey Harding used her incredible quickness to help terrorize Tennessee on both the offensive and defensive ends. Currently the world’s fastest woman, RALEIGH Marion Jones used to be better known for her talents on the hardcourt at North Carolina than in track and field. As a 5-foot-ll freshman point guard, Jones led the Tar Heels to a national championship, largely due to her superior speed and athleticism. And despite her teammate’s joke that she is “the fastest human being alive,” the parallels between Jones and Duke freshman Lindsey Harding are sincere. Like her predecessor from UNC, Harding was a highly touted youth runner, competing year-round for the Houston Junior Olympic team. In fact, she didn’t even start playing basketball until she was a seventh grader. Since then, Harding’s focus has differed from Jones, who excelled in both basketball and track through college, as the 5-11 point guard will specialize in basketball for Duke. That’s not to say she couldn’t double as a track star if she wanted to, as she was easily the most prolific athlete on the floor Sunday in a game pitting the top two basketball teams in America. “I really do think she’s the fastest player I’ve ever seen,” Wynter Whitley said. “She’s at normal one second and the next second she’s gone, and you’re MKm?' like, Where’s Lindsey?”’ t Well, she’s pretty much everywhere. And “fast” hardly encapsulates Mike Corey all that she brings to the floor for the ~Q~arne No. 1 Blue Devils. Her explosiveness helped her terrorize Tennessee all night long, particularly senior point guard Kara Lawson. When Harding had the ball, she used nifty ballhandling to befuddle Lawson, and then used quick first, second, third, and fourth steps to blow by her defender, making the Volunteer look silly on several occasions. Defensively,

Harding’s agility and stellar footwork was evident as she blanketed Lawson, serving as a pivotal cog in a Duke defense that forced 23 un-Volunteer-like turnovers. In fact, Harding was the impetus for Duke in the first half when the Blue Devils were struggling to keep up with Tennessee. Trailing 17-10, Harding pulled down a rebound and turned to look for an open teammate down-

William & Mary upsets men’s soccer in NCAAs Tribe’s strike in 65th minute proves too much as Blue Devils cannot climb from early hole By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

2 Despite the unusual advantage of hosting Duke 1 an NCAA Tournament game against a higher-seeded opponent, the Duke (11-8-1) men’s soccer team fell 2-1 to first-round foe William & Mary (14-7-1) Friday night. The 25th-ranked Tribe scored the game’s opening two goals, and although the Blue Devils threw their weight into an inspired second half comeback attempt, they could never manage an equalizing tally. W&M

The defeat hit Duke’s senior class hardest, particularly as its players entered the contest with intense optimism. “We really felt we were going to come out here and just run over these guys,” Blue Devil co-captain Trevor Perea said. “We weren’t looking past them in any

way—we were really excited for it. Things went wrong early and we could just never come back.” William & Mary senior Doug Henry put his side in front 10 minutes into the contest, as his well-struck 18-yard chip shot eluded the grasp ofDuke goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge. A stalemate then ensued for the majority of the opening half, with neither team mounting many effective attacks. The pace picked up after the intermission, however. The Blue Devils struggled vigorously to break the Tribe defensive backline, only to have Ralph Bean put William & Mary ahead 2-0 with a 65th-minute strike. The Tribe were obviously undaunted at having to face Duke on its home field. “You have to understand that our

home field is [artificial] turf,” William Mary head coach A1 Albert said. “We play a lot of really good teams and most of them away, so playing a tough game away is not anything different for us. I was concerned about it... but I &

thought it didn’t really change the game much.” Facing a two-goal deficit, the Blue Devils responded immediately as Perea and teammate Jordan Cila executed a beautiful give-and-go with Perea depositing a fierce strike past William & Mary backstop Trevor Upton less than four minutes later. As Duke continued to press it appeared as if a balancing strike would surely come. Despite hitting a post and mounting several other dangerous challenges, though, the Blue Devils could not escape elimination. “I don’t know how we didn’t score that second goal,” Duke head coach John Rennie said. “We scored a critical goal to make it 2-1. We took over the game and had everything going, and hit a post. Normally you score the second goal, and if you do in that case, then the game is yours.” Instead, Duke struggled in vain to break the Tribe’s defensive framework. After striking the woodwork 15 minutes from the time the Blue Devils’ offense stagnated, William & Mary steadfastly denied Duke entry through the midfield.

Perea spoke afterwards about the

frustration that built up as the Blue Devils saw their best efforts go fruitless. “It’s one of the hardest things in soccer, and it’s one of the things that makes the game so different,” he said. “You get

Football team continues having problems finishing Dan Omer had missed field goals of 44 and 50 yards, as well as an extra point. But with his Tar Heels down by two points with four seconds remaining, Omer took a few strides, swung his leg and booted an ugly, left-hooking kick that somehow found its way between the uprights. It’s true that fate had frowned on the Blue Devils, just as it had done so many times before. Placing the game’s balance in fate’s hands, however, was a scenario that Blue Devil lapses brought about in the first place. The biggest of Duke’s shortcomings was its mentality during UNO’s gamewinning drive. The Tar Heels had the ball on their own 25-yard line with 46 seconds remaining, but were able to drive 45 yards to set up the winning kick, as UNO quarterback Darian Durant threw two quick strikes for 17 and 12 yards to open the drive, and then found Sam Aiken for 10 yards on a fourth-and-four play to set up Omer’s field goal. Addressing his team’s defense on the drive, Duke head coach Carl Franks said that the Blue Devils did not play a simple

inconsistency was not a fault of the defense, but instead a credit to Durant. “I felt like we were in pretty good shape with 53 seconds left,” Franks said. “They made a bunch of plays. Durant made some critical throws, and they made some good catches, just like they had been doing for most of the day.” Durant did make some big passes, but his running ability was equally damaging. The Blue Devils had difficulty containing the UNC quarterback, who racked up 71 yards rushing on the afternoon. More damaging, however, was Durant’s

It is just a dream come true.” Just prior to North Carolina’s gamewinning drive, the Blue Devils had marched down field with a drive oftheir own that many thought had won the game for Duke. After forcing a North Carolina punt with a 20-14 lead and 5:14 left in the game, quarterback Adam Smith, who had been cold up to that point, hit a few key passes to march Duke from their own 28 down to midfield with about two minutes left. The Tar Heels then sacked Smith on first down and stuffed running back Alex

FRANKS

from The Chronicle page 1

After the heartbreaking loss to its archrivals, the Duke coach acknowledged that he was unsure of his job status, but noted that Alieva had not said anything either positive or negative to him. Franks also said he had one year left on his contract and unless he received word otherwise, he was planning on finishing it.

Junior safety Terrell Smith echoed Franks’ sentiments. “He’s still our coach,” Smith said. “I think he’s got a year left on his contract, so I figure he’s going to finish it.” Alieva had said earlier in the season that he was committed to Franks because he felt one of the biggest things the football program lacked was consis-

Wade on second to bring up third-andeight. On the ensuing play, the North Carolina defense got to tailback Chris Douglas behind the line of scrimmage, leaving Duke facing a fourth-and-nine situation. However Smith’s hot hand continued as the sophomore found Lance Johnson on a slant-hook pattern from the left side for a 14-yard gain, keeping the Duke drive alive. “It was a play that we run quite often,” Smith said. “Lance Johnson did a good job making sure he got the eight yards—he got to the 10 before he came back in, so he definitely had the first down. I knew it was fourth down so he definitely had to catch it, no one was open and had to throw it somewhere. Lance ran a great route, and came open and I just threw it across.” On the next play, first-and-10 from the UNC 33, Senterrio Landrum ran a

Kicker Brent Garber nailed the extra point giving Duke a 2120 lead with 53 seconds left. “It came down to the last four seconds—a two minute drill run by our quarterback to the best of his ability and everybody out there executing and making plays,” North Carolina head coach John Bunting said. “And then the kicker came up with the kick of his life.” The Tar Heels outplayed Duke for most of the first half, before Wade was able to punch on in to tie the score in the waning seconds. In the second half, Duke came out and recovered a fumble to halt a North Carolina drive. A few possessions later, Duke blocked

a UNC punt, and Douglas was able to score on a 19-yard pass, giving Duke a 14-7 lead, the first of Franks’ career against the Tar Heels. North Carolina responded by scoring two unanswered touchdowns, and missing the extra point on the latter, before Duke was able to respond offensively with its last second drive. “We’ll use this as motivation,” Franks said. “I still like this football team a lot, this is a great group. We’re so far away from where we were three years ago, but we can only go up.” The Blue Devils will now have the offseason to think about another heartwrenching loss. Duke, which loses only one player, Jaymon Small, will begin practicing again in the spring. “We’ll be back, we’ll be bowl contenders next year,” junior safety Terrell Smith said.

CADETS from page 3

“Then I said like, ‘Wachovia,’ and then I thought about First Union, and then I said, ‘Never mind I’m not even going to call it because I’ve had pretty much enough cash in my pocket tonight.’” Realistically, all Army could do to contain Duke was foul. And hack they did, accumulating 30 fouls during the contest. The pace of the game trickled, as the fans mockingly pleaded with the Cadets in their most clever cheer of the night. Mimicking a drill sergeant and soldiers, the Crazies exclaimed, “I don’t know what I been told, fouls are getting really old!” Truth be told, this was great practice for Duke. Army posed no legitimate threat, but pushed Duke and fought hard all night long. Krzyzewski, who graduated from Army and served as head coach there for five seasons, said he was especially proud of the display of heart put on by the two teams. Sir, yes, sir!

particularly in recruiting. Since coming to Duke,. Franks has won a total of five games. He compiled a 3-8 record his first season, before a series of 0-11 seasons. The loss to the Tar Heels gave franks a 2-10 record this year. “I think the team has really improved,” Alieva said, adding that he would not put a numerical measure on the number of games Franks needed to win next year to keep his job. “We’ve gone from losing games by 30 points to losing games by two, three and four points, and that’s the first step. You have to crawl before you walk and walk before you can run. And we’re making that progress.”

But, for us to go out and show guys that we’re quick, we can pressure the ball, we get in passing lanes, we can rebound, we can go inside-outside. This is a well-balanced team, and we’re just going to continue to do it.” Duke is so potent that when the reserves came into the game they were still

8 �MONDAY,

ARMY from page 3 beginning. Last year it graduated a senior class of seven players that was described as one of the school’s most productive ever. Perhaps even more tellingly, before Saturday, the whole team combined tallied only 56 total starts, 12 more than Chris Duhon has had by himself. “We had big leads of course, but the intensity of the game would never indicate that,” Krzyzewski said. ‘With about seven minutes to go, about six kids—three kids from each team—were diving for balls... I’m not sure you can see a game where two teams play any harder against one another.” While Krzyzewski tended to emphasize the hard work of Army, his alma mater and first coaching gig, at least one player wanted to shift the focus back to Duke. “Coach said that he hadn’t seen a team play harder than Army,” Lee Melchionni said. “He thought that they played really, really hard, but we played harder.” Although the Blue Devils thoroughly beat the Black Knights, in nearly every aspect of the game, it would be erroneous to say that their game was a flawless performance. The Army defense, when forced to match up against many differentand potent offensive threats, often chose to leave Jones open on the perimeter. He responded by hitting one of five three-pointers. “I’m just trying to take what the defense gives me,” Jones said. “Basically, ifthe defense gives me jump shots I’m going to take jump shots. But if I’m not hitting jump shots, I can get out there and do other things, I’m not just going to sit there and be complacent.” The Blue Devils will face a similar situation tonight, in being heavily favored, when they host the Davidson Wildcats at 7 p.m.

AUSTRIA from page 2 Party or remain in the opposition. But with the Greens having won just 9 percent, a slight improvement over 1999’s result, the two parties will have no chance to form the so-called “red-green” coalition that won re-election in Germany earlier this year. As in Germany, Austrian governments are typically coalitions of two parties that together represent more than 50 percent of the popular vote. With the strong showing by the People’s Party last night, Schuessel could invite any of the other three parties into such a partnership. After his victory became clear, Schuessel said he would continue to set a course of financial and social reforms

aimed at strengthening Austria’s sputtering economy and pension system. “This result is unexpected, but it is a clear message from voters,” Schuessel said. “There can be no doubt who should govern Austria and who will govern Austria.” But Schuessel declined to say which party he would prefer to bring on as a

coalition partner. “We will proceed carefully, keeping in mind especially those who didn’t vote for us,” he said. “We’ll have conversations with all three parties, and we’ll see with which of the three we can best continue making reforms.” Gusenbauer seemed resigned to the possibility, however, that his Social Democratic Party may again be relegated to the political sidelines. “The Austrian People’s Party has

very clearly won,” he said during a television interview Sunday night. But he noted that his party had gained 4 percent more votes than in 1999. “It’s a disappointment,” he said, “but we’ve become a stronger opposition party.” After the 1999 elections, it took party leaders three months to form a coalition. With the People’s Party having emerged strong enough to partner with any ofthe three other parties, coalition talks would probably take weeks, most ex-

perts said. Fritz Plasser, a political science professor at the University of Innsbruck, said the most practical result of the vote would be to reunite the People’s Party and the Social Democrats into the sort of “grand coalition” that has dominated Austrian politics for most of the postwar period.

Together, the two parties now represent nearly 80 percent ofthe electorate. “Looking at the demanding challenges in coming years, including the E.U. enlargement, the most stable government would be a grand coalition, because there is overwhelming agreement in both parties to work for economic enlargement,” Plasser said Sunday night. “But this will also cause problems,” he said, “because a grand coalition would have four-fifths of parliamentary seats,” duplicating the circumstances that Haider used to gain prominence as the voice of the “kleine Menschen,” or little people, in fighting a perceived government of insiders. Haider kept conspicuously out of the public eye after the polls closed at 5 p.m., appearing neither in public nor on television news.

The Chronicle A city government circus

Durham

government has lots ofproblems, many ofwhich are concentrated in City Hall, which this past week hosted two political fiascos. First, City Manager Marcia Conner has come under fire for several mismanagement issues and went before the City Council to fight for her job. Second, a candidate for police chief has decided against taking the position, only the latest in a string of debacles in the police chief search that has embarrassed the city and exasperated its citizens Conner has been criticized for mishandling city contracts. A recent audit of over a hundred random contracts found that none of them had gone through the proper review procedure. Additionally, a contract worth about $30,000 to reinvigorate portions of Durham went to the Marshall Group without Conner advertising the contract or opening it up for bids. Worse than misallocating the contract, Conner also lied about the situation and then later admitted she lied Additionally, Conner has been tied to failures in the search for a new police chief. Although Conner may not have made mistakes during this process, the fact that the search is in her hands reflects poorly on her. However, Conner’s job appears to be safe, since the City Council voted 6-1 last week to keep her, albeit with reduced pay as a punitive measure. This decision is acceptable, since it seems like Conner often gets blamed for things that aren’t entirely her fault and that she may not be as poor of a manager as she seems. Overall, the City Council has handled this situation admirably, with the judicious application of punitive measures and letting Conner keep her job. The latest chapter in the police chief debacle is that Douglas Scott, who was set to become the new police chief, resigned, citing both the uncertain atmosphere in City Hall and Durham’s lack ofhealth coverage as reason for why he decided against coming to the city. Scott was the candidate selected in the second search for a chief after the first search failed to turn up any viable candidates. Now the city wants to make Steve Chalmers, the interim police chief, the permanent chief. Even though Chalmers had been passed over in the previous two searches, it seems like at this point it is more important to have a chief than to go through the arduous process of a third search, which would also have no guarantee of finding as viable a candidate as Chalmers. Overall, the two most important priorities for Durham should remain development and fighting crime. Fortunately, recent progress on the American Tobacco warehouse is encouraging and shows that the scandal swirling around Conner has not had that much negative impact on the city’s development prospects. And, in order to fight crime effectively, the city needs a full time police chief, so it should appoint Chalmers to the position as soon as possible. Hopefully, City Hall will clean up its act in the future and local Durham politics will stop being a circus and start doing its job.

On the record We’ve gonefrom losing games by 30 points to losing games by two, three and four points, and that’s the first step. Director ofAthletics Joe Alieva justifying his decisionnot to fire head football coach Carl Franks after yet another losing season (see story, page one).

Letters to the editor

Columnist again abandons facts, logical reasoning In the closing of her column last Thursday, Jessica Rutter asked the simple question, “What are you going to do?” The only thing I can do is harshly object to the blatant lack of facts in the column as well as the implicit threats made against our nation. As is the standardfor a column by Rutter, well-thought reasoning is abandoned in

favor of one-sided rhetoric and classic references to “dying children The facts are simple and tell a very different story. ”

Iraqi citizens are dying, but economic sanctions are not

the cause. Any trading with Iraq would only serve to line the pockets of Saddam and the ruling Ba’ath Party. The leadership certainly had no

qualms about building countless “Presidential Palaces” with a citizenry to feed. Rather than calling Iraqi citizens “non-human,” the United States is actively working to save Iraqi life, at its own peril. The no-fly zones in the north and south of the country don’t exist so we can have our won pilots shot at on a weekly basis. They exist to protect religious and ethnic minorities from their own government, which used chemical weapons against them, killing countless unarmed citizens. These most certainly included children, as well. By supporting inaction, Rutter condones these heartwarming displays. While I don’t have the time to refute every ridiculous com-

ment Rutter made regarding domestic policy, which included criticism of our government for arresting lawbreakers (the nerve!), I do think the line about regime change in the United States deserves attention. While freedom of the press is fundamental to American society, this does not mean that discretion shouldn’t be used. A comment supporting the destruction of our nation, which would include elimination offreedom of the press, should not deserve its two lines of text in The Chronicle, or any other

publication. Besides, wouldn’t children die in her proposal?

On the roots of violence

Memories of past bullying makes backing down from a conflict that much more difficult Some guy to the left of me is swearing. Loudly. He’s calling some guy a shithead and a host of other epithets. I turn and look at this frat boy in blazer who is obviously drunk out of his mind Our eyes meet. “What the f-k are you

mature adult, and I’m proud of that. I m proud of myself because ignoring some guy willing to belittle you is deceptively difficult to do. Rationally, willing yourself to merely smile at someone else’s attempt to humiliate you in public seems like a no-brainer. After all, clearly he’s looking dumber than you are, and if you’re with a significant other, you look composed and confident (chicks tend to dig a guy who doesn’t have to prove how big his balls are every time someone curses at him). But there is another aspect, a subconscious urge that makes turning your head away much more difficult. That urge is fury over all the times when you were a little boy and someone assaulted you, fury over how defenseless you felt then as someone physically hurt you repeatedly. Let me try to explain. When I look in the mirror now I don’t always see what’s in front of me. I don’t always see 185 pounds of muscle looking back at me. I don’t always see eyes hard-

of guys yelling and taunting me. I also have lots of gay friends, and so every time I hear the word faggot in public I turn and ask that person not to say that word around me. They offer to fight me as well, So, on Saturday, when this random drunk frat boy threatens me and calls me name upon name, the part of me that saw what a scared, insecure kid he was found it easy to ignore him. But a portion of me looked into his taunting eyes and saw the eyes of the bullies of my youth. Rationality is a difficult thing to maintain. The instinct to stand up for yourself, the instinct for vengeance can be immensely powerful, Indeed, a part of me was wishing that the punk either called me a faggot or called the girl I was with a slut. For all of my gay friends living in fear as well as my female friends who have been victimized, I would have eagerly sent him to the hospital. Transference can be, unfortunately, the most seductive of pleasures, You know what scares me most? It is that so many men, women and children bear scars far deeper than mine. Their struggle to control their rage is that much more difficult. Singular acts of violence have impacts that last a lifetime. My friend who bares the scars of her father’s cigarettes is forever fighting for self-confidence. Meanwhile, her brother might grow up to be just like her dad. I see every terrorist act, every murder and every rape, and I don’t just see the victims, I see the victims to come. The process is sickeningly circular.

Ain’t nobody ever say, “Hell no, I parfait, ,T~T or you are thinking the “people” , 0 0 don’t want no parfait.” “human” group is a unifying theme So now that you’ve realized that this week’s column among students, but sadly recent require more thinking than paying attention in may shown there be a few may that investigations have well-disguised androids running around out there class would have. Here is the answer: The Alcohol Consumption Group. The ACG[6] almost without fail under the evil administration’s control. bring two different students together. The ACG will namely be surprising, A few of these may not upper-level DSG members, the people in charge of discriminates against no one. The ACG cuts through opening Subway, and folks like Nan who seem to racial and ethnic barriers and with a healthy amount drift in and out of their evil powers every once in a of ACG you can even conquer the language barrier. It while surprising us and doing something wonderful. is for this reason that THE SECOND GUNMAN has We suspect that many people, such as popular decided that it is time to bring DDAMM[7] to Duke to columnist Faran Krentcil, were experiments gone help ease that language barrier between you [B] and bad and are just let out of their cages and cycled your orgo TA. This is also why the Second Gunman is through the University every few years. Later on in introducing his own special brew, available only to life they are trained to teach intro-level courses and ACG members. In other news THE SECOND GUNMAN would like be on student life committees. If your existence sucked as much as theirs you would also be bitter send a shout out to the Wolf Cartoon, for getting on the make-fun-or-Faran train. Also, THE SECOND GUNwith the student body. So if it isn’t the “human” group, maybe it is the MAN would like to congratulate the Blazing Sea Larry Moneta fun and, “student” group. We are all students, right? Whoa, Nuggets for carrying on the for everything: the thanks Larry which, of speaking two suggests hey, that’s strike number two. Evidence key arguments against the “student” group. Have construction at 7 a.m., an ugly WEL, Subway three you seen the number of BMWs, SUVs[3] and BMW months later, the debacle of the student village and the SUVs on campus? These “students’” applications astounding success of the independent corridor. The _

only job left for you to screw up around here is the Durham Police Chief. THE SECOND GUNMAN was completely and totally disgusted by the freshman tenters outside Cameron Friday night. It would be fitting for the Victory Bell to run over those morons on its way back to Chapel Hill. THE SECOND GUNMAN would also like to alert the public that no less than four times did the Cable 13 basketball announcer proclaim that he had “mad love” for Army. Other gems thrown out there included “The Johnson’s out of the cage” and an anecdote about the time that Shane Battier sat on his face, which qualified as one of his favorite all time college memories. I know I get to make s— up and make you laugh, but this announcer made my life that much easier and at the end of the Monday, Monday Season that is a wonderful thing. THE SECOND GUNMAN would like to apologize to anyone who saw me on DevilTime. [ll Humor columnist for The Chronicle, also STONE GOLD’S little brother. [2l “And” is a word.
