The public duty doctrine states the government is responsible to protect the general public but not individuals.

That was a great confidence booster, and once I hit (that first one), 1 felt that I was hot and that I could keep going." The Blue Devils, in typical fashion, responded with two Schweitzer free throws to increase the lead back to four. Duke used timely storing all night to brush away potential UNC comebacks. In less than a nine-minute span during the second half, the Blue Devils hit trifectas three times to push a two-point lead back WEST From Page 1 coached,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She just has that fire and determi nation that you love as a coach.” That determination helped West get over the physical pains in her knee and the mental pains of not playing as much Gumby^ValueMeffli HOUR CHOKE QA ONL¥ 1) 14” CHEESE PIZZA 2) 12” ONE TOPPING PIZZA & ONE SODA a *****l/+ 3) 10” TWO TOPPING PIZZA & ONE SODA S)(&^& m FJ\£}T(327B) 4) 10 WINGS & ONE SODA Vote A ü ßst 5) 10 POKEY STIX & FIVE WINGS Delivered Meal" 6) 10" cheese pizza & five wings ky Readers of 7) 12” POKEY STIX & ONE SODA tUDTH 8) 10” CHEESE PIZZA & TWO PEPPERONI ROLLS 1 1991, 1998 & 1999) 9) RVE pEppERON | ROLLS & ONE SODA FA ST FREE OELfVEffV/ WWW.GUMBVSPtZZA.COM • EMAIL: GUMBYSI@AOI-.COM wide horizon of ■ ® SwW^ aiaim p° sslb,lrties? sstr youb owm hours B&ISUS pen TICT OEVRS7BOM Measurement Incorporated of Durham, NC is A recruiting high school test item writers for science ~ specialties needed include: biology, chemistry, physics, geology, environmental chemistry, atmospheric/ocean physics and astronomy. gw:, Jfcjß Contact Michael Gaffigan at 919-286-2495 or mgaffigan@measinc.com. liable for what happened in the court house bathroom and that the judge should allow the motion for summary judgement, meaning that the case would not proceed to a jury trial. “There can be no liability cr negli gence unless the law proposes a duty,” Mitchell said. “The government has no duty to indi viduals, only to the general public, except in special instances such as the witness protection program.

During the first 11 minutes of the game, however, the Blue Devils focused their attention on scoring in the paint. Twenty of Duke’s first 25 points came from close range. “Once we spread the floor, they do a really good job of getting out and deny ing,” said Rice, one of five Blue Devils in double-figures with her 16 points. “They kind of left the lane wide open.” But Teasley, who played 38 minutes Monday and 116 during UNC’s three game tournament stay, was doing the job from long range. She hit her first five shots, including a third 3-pointer with 7:58 left in the first half to knot the score at 25-25. Teasley, the tournament MVP, had 13 points by that point in the game and finished the half with 16. Despite her heroic second-half effort, Teasley fell three points short of giving UNC its third ACC title in four years.

Duke Sparks Magazine Survey Boycott Duke University officials say the methods applied in a Yahoo! Internet Life magazine survey is flawed. By Alex Kaplun Staff Writer A Duke University official recently ignited a movement to boycott a survey of the country’s most wired campuses that has spread to several prominent universities across the nation. But representatives from Yahoo! Internet Life magazine, the publication that conducted the survey, said the schools were protesting because they fared poorly in the survey. For the last three years, Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine has published a ranking of the 100 Most Wired Campuses in America. Duke finished 63rd in the 1999 sur vey, slipping six spots from the previous year. Betty Leydon, vice provost for infor mation technology at Duke, said she was dissatisfied with the survey’s methodol and Marcia (Harris, UCS director).” While D’Amore said the Kraft protest was not particularly dear to her heart, she planned to continue fighting for environmental causes. “If I had to get in trouble, why couldn’t it be something I could sink my teeth into?” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

Leydon subsuquently persuaded university officials at Duke and more than 10 other institutions to boycott the survey. Harvard, Yale and Princeton were among the schools participating. Leydon said the survey was inaccu ratte because it was more concerned with attaining numbers on how much information technology a school pos sessed than with the effectiveness of the technology that was available. “It’s not who is the most wired that is important, but how the technology is used,” Leydon said. She said Yahoo! should not rate uni versities but instead describe how tech nology was used on each campus. Leydon added that several other organizations recently rated Duke high ly in the area of technology use. But Rob Bernstein, senior editor of Yahoo! Internet Life magazine, said the survey was legitimate. “Every survey is subjective because someone has to make a decision what data is more significant than other (data),” said Bernstein.

But Bernstein said the magazine would not reveal the methodology used to determine a final ranking. He said he did not want schools to know the magazine’s formula, because then they would improve only in areas that would benefit their ranking. “The whole point to keep this behind closed doors is to keep schools guessing,” Bernstein said.

Bernstein also said the schools were trying to change the survey’s methodol ogy for fear that their academic ratings would drop as result of the survey. But John Oberlin, UNC executive director for Academic Technology & Networks, also said the rating might not be accurate. He said that while he was not familiar with the magazine, he said he knew the rating wasn’t scientific and left room for subjectivity. UNC placed 83rd in the survey. Oberlin said the University had worked to improve the quality and amount of technological tools on cam pus over the last three years. He said, “We have a pretty dam good network in most places on campus.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. (C)2OOG Tribune Media Services. Inc.
