Twelve other UNC-system schools have now formulated plans for campus based tuition increases. East Carolina University is the first system school to approve a tuition increase after UNC CH. ECU’s BOT passed a S4OO increase Thursday at a special meeting, and the UNC-Charlotte BOT also is slated to vote Duke Dominates, Sends UNC to Historic Loss By Mike Ogle Senior Writer Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski sat calmly, as he did most of Thursday night, on the bench along with his starters and watched history finish unfolding to the flatline that has become North Carolina’s season. Krzyzewski’s delay offense, which he called with 10 minutes remaining, kept the No. 1 Blue Devils from their Hen's Basketball Duke 87 UNC 58 largest margin of victory ever against the Tar Heels (35). No matter. Duke still became the first school to defeat UNC four straight times in the Center of Dean Smith, whose shadow Krzyzewski once coached in. Not only that, but the Blue Devils reached this feat by smashing another record in the 87-58 drubbing. It was the Tar Heels’ worst loss, by seven points, in the 16- year-old Smith Center. This season’s Tar Heels (6-12,2-6 in the ACC) own seven of the 34 all-time losses there - the most in any home of UNC hoops. “I told my kids during the four minute timeout, ‘These are two pro grams that have a lot of tradition, and Jones, Turnovers Spell Doom for Tar Heels By Rachel Carter Senior Writer Dahntayjones got his first taste of the Duke- North Carolina rivalry and helped leave a bit ter taste in the Tar Heels’ mouths. Jones, a junior transfer from Rutgers, stole the ball three times in the first half and gener ally made a menace of himself, adding anoth er lethal defender to complement Duke’s back court of Chris Duhon andjason Williams. Jones already has shutting down Juan Dixon on his resume, so why should harassingjason Capel and the rest of the Tar Heels have proved to be a challenge for him? “You’ve just got to make sure you know their tendencies,” said Jones, who shot 6 of 8 from the floor for 13 points. “Capel’s much stronger than Dixon. “You’ve got to know what they’re like off screens, every time they touch the ball.” Jones helped hold Capel - North Carolina’s leading scorer and rebounder - to a 2-for-4 per- Poor Residence Hall Security Blamed in Attacks; UNC Calls Campus Safe By Emma Blrg in Staff Writer A sexual assault on a Duke University freshman Wednesday is raising questions about the safety of campus residence halls. The female resident was found at about 6 a.m. in a restroom in Randolph Residence Hall by Duke police. The (Raleigh) News & Observer reported Thursday that the woman had been beaten and sexually assaulted. It is uncertain whether she was raped. In a similar incident, a New York University student was attacked in her on an increase identical to UNC-CH’s. Officials at N.C. State University also recently announced that they will con sider tuition increases, although they have not provided a specific amount. Several UNC-system schools have already submitted tuition increase pro posals to the UNC-system Board of Governors. The BOG will vote on each school’s tuition increase request, in addi tion to a possible 4.8 percent systemwide tuition increase, at their March 6 meeting. The tuition increases arrive on the heels of a BOG request last month for all 16 UNC-system schools to construct five-year plans for tuition and fees - starting with the 2003-04 academic year. we’re lucky to win this game,’” Krzyzewski said. “Just remember where you’re at. This place has produced tremendous basketball over the last four decades and will continue to do so.’” North Carolina, most recent history considered, played tremendous basket ball for at least a half of a half. The Tar Heels attacked with an uncharacteristic aggressiveness early on, breaking defenders down off the dribble and get ting to the hoop. But just getting there wasn’t quite enough. Jackie Manuel, who missed the pre vious two games with an injured foot, drove, but his gentle, two-handed layup rolled off the iron. Another UNC fresh man, Jawad Williams, left his layup short. Manuel’s smooth crossover got him into the lane, but he lost control, and he and the ball fell out of bounds. The Tar Heels missed six layups - in the first half - while committing 14 of their 25 turnovers as Duke slowly and then even more methodically pulled away for a 48-35 halftime advantage. “I think when the adrenaline is pumping because you’re so excited to play you can lose concentration for a second, and then you miss easy shots,” Manuel said. See MEN'S BASKETBALL, Page 4 formance. But Jones didn’t just bother Capel. With 10:56 left in the first half, he swiped the ball from North Carolina point guard Adam Boone as Boone brought it upcourt and charged back for a layup. It was one of Jones’ three steals dur ing the game. “We knew he was a very good defender,” said Boone, who got his pocket picked byjones a couple of times. “He got in the passing lanes twice, and he got some nice steals. “He’s just a great defender.” Although Jones was a big factor in the early going, he wasn’t the only one responsible for the Tar Heels’ 14 first-half turnovers, four more than they had the whole game against Clemson on Sunday. The Blue Devils’ perimeter defense caused lots of bad passes from the Tar Heels and forced Boone, Capel and Kris Lang to turn the ball over a combined 13 times during the course of the game. For the game, Duke stole the ball 12 times from the Tar Heels, which averaged 16.1 residence hall in October 2001 and is fil ing a S2O million lawsuit against the school for its allegedly lax security. The girl was assaulted by a homeless man who entered the residence hall to use the bathroom. The lawsuit alleges that the university’s poor security practices made it easy for the attacker to enter the building. John Beckman, NYU senior vice pres ident for external affairs, said the univer sity is embarrassed by the attack. “Obviously, this is a very unfortunate inci dent.” he said. “The university is deeply chagrined that any of our students should ever have to face an incident like this.” Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.

A key component of the request is that similar universities within the UNC system cooperate when constructing their plan, something UNC-system schools currently aren’t required to do. BOG member Bradley Wilson said the BOG is only accepting one-year tuition increase plans. Lengthier plans would interfere with new tuition and finance poli cies created by the five-year plan, he said. Wilson added that the BOG expected the numerous requests for tuition increas es. “We’ve expected for a while all of the schools in the system that had not recent ly asked for an increase to ask for one.” BOG member Ray Farris said the schools would have asked for tuition ,. v m : 5 :: ftWT I / jll§ 4 wr DTH/KARA ARNDT Above, Duke players celebrate in the waning minutes of their win against North Carolina Thursday night.

Although the Tar Heels cut down on their turnovers in the second half, they still coughed the ball up 11 times to the defending national champions. “We did some good things, but you cannot have 14 turnovers in the first half - that is real ly a credit to Duke," said UNC coach Matt Doherty. “They had 22 points off turnovers to our two, and 21 more shots than us. “Again, that is a credit to their pressure defense.” The Blue Devils also had an offense that was able to what North Carolina couldn't do - maintain possession of the ball. Duke turned the ball over six times total, with the experi enced backcourt of Duhon and Williams com bining for one turnover. They also had 14 assists.

Dorothy Bemholz, director of UNC Student Legal Services, said all entities leasing residential property, including UNC, are required to provide minimal safety measures, such as locks. Bemholz added that students must act responsibly. She said that if students do not lock their doors, they can be held responsible for contributory negligence. But UNC officials say campus resi dence halls are secure. Christopher Payne, UNC director of Housing and Residential In-Coretta-ble Coretta Brown and UNC dominate Maryland 68-57.

By Brook Corwin and Philissa Cramer Staff Writers Money from a recommended campus initiated tuition increase might be used to reduce the disparity between veteran UNC-Chapel Hill professors’ salaries and those of their recendy hired peers. At the Jan. 24 UNC-CH Board of Trustees meeting, Chancellor James Moeser said he was concerned that heightened competition for recruiting and retaining faculty has created a situ ation where new professors often earn more than veteran faculty members with comparable merit At the meeting, the BOT recom mended a one-year, S4OO tuition increase, part of the revenue from which would be used to increase faculty salaries in the College of Arts and Sciences. The proposal will go before the UNC-system Board of Governors on March 6. Provost Robert Shelton said money generated by a tuition increase would be distributed to individual departments based on each department’s needs. Shelton said each department chair man typically then allocates the money to the faculty members that are determined to be the most qualified based on their teaching, research and service records. But several department chairmen said they would like to use part of the money to correct a salary divide between long-standing members of the faculty and recent hires. Peter Omstein, chairman of the Department of Psychology, said he typi cally sets aside 10 to 15 percent of money allocated for salary increases to adjust the salaries of returning faculty members who are earning less than their more recently hired peers within the department. “Because the market for new faculty is so competitive, a professor will often receive less than another professor who’s just been hired, even if the two have comparable ratings in teaching, research and service,” Omstein said. “Equal rat ings don’t always mean equal dollars.” James Thompson, chairman of the Department of English, said a 1996 campuswide study of the phenomenon, known as salary inversion, concluded that for each year a faculty member remained at UNC, that professor’s salary fell about $2,800 behind his or her peers who switched universities. Lynn Williford, director of institu tional research, said a more recent sur vey has not been done because issues of faculty salary equity are now being tracked by individual departments. Thompson said he would use some revenue from the tuition increase to See INVERSIONS, Page 4 DTH'KIM CRAVEN ‘ *i* 4 *
