Noel, making only his second career start, scored nine first-half points, including a rim rattling, one-handed slam dunk to silence the 9,314 in atten dance. “(Playing at Duke) was different,” said Noel, who scored a career-high 19 points. “It was almost like coming back to play in a high school game.” This definitely was no high school game, and the Cameron Crazies certainly lived up to their namesake.

DUHON'S DAY Duhon Bounces Back With Clutch Play Down Stretch By lan Gordon Senior Writer DURHAM - With 1:55 to go Wednesday night, his team up by seven, Chris Duhon leaned over press row at Cameron Indoor Stadium and picked up a writer’s pen. He looked down at the reporter’s notebook, smiled and tapped the paper with the pen. So many storylines. So much to tell.

But in the end, the Blue Devils were the ones smiling and raising their arms to the sold-out crowd as Duke downed the Tar Heels 83-74. “We’ve been getting better,” said UNC coach Matt Doherty. “But it’s been tough losing these games.” The Tar Heels showed improvement throughout the first half, shooting almost 67 percent from the field and playing perhaps their most physical defense yet this year. Six 3-pointers helped UNC (11-10, 2-6 in the ACC) enter the break leading Duke (15-3,5-3) by five, 43-38. something positive about me,” Duhon quipped. “If he wasn’t, I was going to scratch it out.” It’s been that kind of a season for Duhon, Duke’s much-maligned junior point guard. And on the night his former back court-mate, Jay Williams, had his num ber retired, Duhon found himself on the bench when Duke and North Carolina tipped off Wednesday.

We ended up getting a good response from students.” But Alice Newton, GLBTSA co-chairwoman, agreed with Cherry’s argument. “It’s going to be a long process, and they need to be realistic,” Newton said. “Nathan understood the limitations but was still willing to put in the time to get the ball rolling.” Cherry also appealed to GLBTSA members when he addressed the recent controversy over the Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship.

Co-speakers Deal Ends Weeklong Deadlock By Elyse Ashbirn State & National Editor RALEIGH - The N.C. House ushered in a historic form of leadership Wednesday, elect ing co-speakers after nine ballots and a week of negotiations. Twenty-nine Republicans banded with all 60 Democrats to elect Democrat Jim Black and Republican Richard Morgan co-speakers of the evenly divided House. The 89-31 vote made history, marking the start of the first ever power sharing arrangement in North Carolina and end ing what was the state’s longest -and, some say, most contentious - House speaker race. Black, who presided over the House during the last two terms, was the Democrats’ obvious choice for the post Five dissident Democrats had said they would not sup port his selection as co speaker but voted with the party Wednesday. Morgan had been the outside candidate, con sistently receiving only five of the Republicans’ votes as opposed to the 55 garnered by caucus nominee George Holmes, R-Yadkin.
