The move opens an important emerg ing market for American goods in South east Asia and was greeted with enthusiasm by U.S. business interests already setting up operations in the capital of Hanoi. Clinton made his announcement after several meetings with veterans groups and family members of missing servicemen. Clinton Defense Nominee Wins Senate Confirmation WASHINGTON Acting with un usual speed, the Senate confirmed Will iam Perry as defense secretary Thursday, giving command of the Pentagon to a busi nessman and expert on high-tech arms. The 97-0 vote came slightly more than a week after President Clinton named Perry to replace LesAspin. Shortly after the vote, Perry was sworn in at the Pentagon. Perry takes over as the Cold War vic tory fades and the specter of nuclear prolif eration and simmering regional conflicts rises. He will move in as the Pentagon is adjusting to new rules on women in com bat and homosexuals in uniform. Pro-Environment Official Quits Over Disagreements WASHINGTON The head of the agency that oversees millions of acres of federal land resigned today because of dis agreements with Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt over Western land reform policies. Jim Baca, a favorite of environmental ists because of his strong views on protect ing federal lands, said he was resigning with “great sadness" as director of the Bureau of Land Management. He had been in the forefront of the Interior’s attempt to change grazing and mining polices on federal lands. New $1.5 Trillion Budget To Reduce, Cut Programs WASHINGTON President Clinton will send Congress a $1.5 trillion budget next week that would restrain spending in 600 programs and target 100 for elimina tion, the administration said Thursday. Among programs targeted for extinc tion: federal support for local schools serv ing military dependents and uranium-en richment research. The administration will propose sharp spending cuts in Army Corps of Engineers projects and a program that helps millions ofAmericans paytheirhome-heatingbills. Shuttle Launch Marks New Era for U.S., Russia CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. The space shuttle Discovery rose with the sun and launched anew space age on Thurs day, carrying the first Russian, Sergei Krikalev, into orbit aboard a U.S. shuttle. Included aboard the shuttle is a special radar calibration device developed and fab ricated by engineering undergraduates at N.C. State. The device, called an orbiter ejector, is scheduled to launch six polished spheres into space which will be used to calibrate ground-based radar to track space debris that could be dangerous to satellites. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A Friendly Wager In what seems to be becoming an annual tradition, the staff of The Daily Tar Heel made a bet earlier this week with the staff of The Chronicle, the student newspaper at Duke University, on thefoutcome of Thursday night's game. The terms were as follows: If Duke lost The Chronicle would print its banner in Caro lina blue along with the words 'UNC is still No. 1' on its front page, and if UNC lost, the DTH would print its banner in Duke blue along with the words 'Duke is still No. 1' on its front page. Well, you know the outcome. Pick up a Chronicle. UNC is still No. 1. Weather TODAY: Mostly sunny, mild; high mid-50s. SATURDAY: Chance of rain; high in the 40s. SUNDAY: Variably cloudy, windy; high in the 40s. UNC Throttles No. 1 Blue Devils BY STEVE POLITI SENIOR WRITER The Tar Heels don’t like to throw super latives around. Especially the word “best.” But that word was sneaking around the UNC lockerroom after No. 2 North Caro lina (18-3,6-2 ACC) knocked offtop-ranked Duke (15-2,6-2) 89-78 at the Smith Center Thursday night. Every now and then “best” would slip out of a player’s mouth. No one wanted to come out and just say it. So before they were willing to talk about the best, they talked about the worst. “We played our worst defense of the year in the first half,” UNC center Eric Montross said. “We had to come out in the second half and relax, and play our sound defense. Men’s Basketball UNC 89 Duke 78 “We allowed a lot of people to blow by us. The things that work for us well, we weren’t doing a whole lot of.” And Duke, in typical Duke fashion, took advantage, shooting 64 percent from the floor in the first half to take a 40-38 lead. That’s when the Tar Heels answered with their best half of basketball this sea son, knocking in their first seven shots to start the second half and building a lead Duke couldn’t overcome. “I thought our defense was very sharp at the beginning of the second half, which was the turning point for us,” UNC head coach Dean Smith said. “They are very quick. But our backcourt did a marvelous job. They had assists, they handled the ball, they didn’t turn it over.” Derrick Phelps called it his best game of the year. The senior point guard led the Tar Heels with 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting while keeping Grant Hill in check most of the game defensively. Hill scored 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting, but 12 of his points came after UNC had built a 12-point lead. Phelps and freshman guard J effMclnnis combined for 26 points, 12 assists and no turnovers against a swarming Blue Devil defense. In die last three games, Phelps has one turnover in the last 94 minutes. And that sparks a few superlatives from his teammates. “He’s the best point guard in the coun try,” Montross said. “I don’t make many statements flat out, but I’ll make that one. ” The Blue Devils, meanwhile, let up on defense, allowing UNC a 58 percent shoot ing clip in the second half. No baskets were more damaging than two back-to-back jump shots by power forward Kevin Salvadori at the start of the second half. His second jumper gave UN C a slim 48- 45 lead, but opened up the inside game for the Tar Heels. “His shots were big,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We tried to make ad justments, but when you make you shots Please See DUKE, Page 7 SBP Candidates Address Women’s Issues BYKELLYNEWTON STAFF WRITER Student body president candidates fielded questions at a forum Thursday night on a wide variety of topics, including a proposed women’s center and the selec tion of anew chancellor. The forum, held in Gen-ad Hall, was sponsored by People Organized for Women’s Empowerment and Rights. Can didates George Battle, Tommy Koonce, Rebecah Moore and Wayne Rash an swered questions from the moderator, POWERmember Shelley Senterfitt, as well as questions from the audience. A member of the audience of about 50 Day Care Loses License For Charges of Neglect BY SARAH MCBRIDE STAFF WRITER Complaints that staffers repeatedly ne glected children at Kinder Care Learning Centers have resulted in state efforts to close the doors of its Chapel Hill day-care facility. At issue are charges that children at the center engaged in sexual activity, some times wandered away from Kinder Care and did not receive proper medical atten tion when needed, said Christine Carroll, supervisor of child abuse and neglect at the N.C. Division of Child Development. The division notified Kinder Care on Oct. 13 that it planned to revoke its license. Kinder Care lost its A-license in Feb. Guard Tandem Leads the Way In 2nd Stanza BY CARTER TOOLE SPORTS EDITOR Heading into Duke and North Carolina’s latest showdown, most of the hype was focused down low. That’s where you’ll find the big players —and big names. Montross. Parks. Hill. Lang. Wallace. But the key to No. 2 UNC’s 89-78 victory againsttop-ranked Duke Thurs day night lay in the backcourt. Two point guards, one a wily New York veteran not known for offense, the other an in-state freshman product playing in his first Duke game, com bined for Dean Smith’s sweetest scoreline to date. Senior Derrick Phelps and fresh man Jeff Mclnnis combined for 26 points, 12 assists and— most impor tantly zero turnovers. “Our backcourt did a marvelous job,” Smith said. “They had assists, they handled the ball, they didn’t turn it over.” Phelps led UNC in scoring with 18 points on 6-for-9 shooting. Mclnnis netted eight and missed only one shot. But the point production from that slot is simply gravy when you consider how Phelps and Mclnnis handled both UNC’s offense and Duke’s offense. The Tar Heels trailed by two at the half, but exploded out of the gates in the second stanza. After Duke guard Chris Collins nailed a 3-pointer to put Duke up 43-38, UNC went on a 19-5 run keyed by its defense. “I thought our defense was very sharp at the beginning of the second half, which was a turning point for us,” Smith said. “We just had to maintain our com posure (in the second half),” Phelps said. “I think we had to limit them to one shot.” The Tar Heels succeeded on that note and managed to hit their first seven shots ofthe second half to squeak ahead by three. Then the Tar Heels started to trap the inexperienced Duke guards. “I think they’re really not used to us going at them like that,” Phelps said. “That’s our bread and butter, trapping and getting steals.” Collins, a sophomore, and Capel, a freshman, combined to shoot 6-for-18 from the field. But on the Tar Heels’ next posses- Please See BACKCOURT, Page 7 asked the candidates what their vision of the next chancellor was, and, if elected, what they would do to see that vision become a reality.

The state fined the day-care center SSOO and demoted its license to a provi sional status. After the October notification, KindeiCare protested the state’s decision to revoke its license altogether, but on Dec. 30 the division of child development told the day-care center it would proceed with revocation anyway. On Monday, Kinder Care formally ap pealed the loss of its license. The appeal allows the facility to remain open until a final decision is reached, which could take up to a year or more, Carroll said.

On the offensive end, Montross chipped in 16 points inside and added a game-high eight rebounds. Senior point guard Derrick Phelps led the Tar Heels in point production, tossing in 18 with six assists. Koonce said that the next chancellor would have to be someone who was very responsive to students. “It would have to be someone with real administrative skills too,” Koonce said. Moore said, “She should be someone accessible. He or she should be open to new ideas,” Moore said. She also sug gested that the chancellor eat in Lenoir Dining Hall every now and then. Rash said that the next chancellor needed to be the most qualified person for the job regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. “The chancellor should be accessible and responsive,” he said. Another audience member asked the candidates if they thought the next chan- Group Works for Viable Honor Systems BY STEVE ROBBLEE SENIOR WRITER Not all faculty members at the Univer sity report incidents of academic cheating, according to UNC administrators who work closely with the school’s Honor Code, which prohibits cheating and plagiarism. The Student Code states that faculty members are required to report all sus pected cases of academic impropriety to the student attor ney general. “Idon’tknow of particular cases, but we strongly suspect that not all cases are being reported and that some professors prefer to deal with it privately rather than to go through the Honor Court system,” said English Professor George Lensing, a member of the University’s Committee on Student Conduct. “The cellor should be someone other than a straight white male, since that had been the obvious trend. All the candidates said they were inter ested in diversity and would advocate the best candidate while keeping UNC’s needs in mind. Senterfitt asked the candidates what they realistically could do to promote women’s issues and a women’s center at UNC.
