Jones, (photo by Emily Richardson) Nancy Kuck STAFF WRITER j orth Carolina Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert recently visited Greenville to campaign on behalf of U.S. Rep. Walter Jones. Hastert, who was the keynote speaker at a luncheon of over 220 supporters including members of the ECU College Re- publicans, recognized the meritorious service that Jones has given Eastern North Carolina during the past year. The efforts that Walter Jones provided during the Hurri- cane Floyd disaster were lauded during a post luncheon press conference on Thursday, July 6. "I feel that I know this area, because when disaster hit, Walter was In my office day in and day out to make sure that relief packages were put together Hastert said. Jones's behind the scenes efforts have been instrumental in hastening the recent passage of a defense and disaster bill on Capitol Hill. The combined efforts of Jones and Hastert has help secure legislation raising national defense spending from $24 bil- lion last year to almost $29 billion this year. "We want to make sure that those dollars are there so that our men and women who serve this country don't have to feed their kids on food stamps, that the airplanes fly, that the ships have full power when they leave port, and they have the training and equipment to get the job done Hastert said. Jones, who is nmning against Lenoir County's Leigh Harvey McNairy, has sponsored the development of legislation that assists the elderly by providing subsidies to help offset the high price of prescription drugs.

New York investment manager Julian H. Robertson Jr. and his wife Josie are donating $24 million to the two schools, known for being fierce sports rivals, in order to create a pioneering collaborative program that will recruit and support "extraordinary under- graduate students" at both cam- puses. Located 10 miles from each other, half the students will en- roll at UNC at Chapel Hill and half at Duke, located in nearby Durham. All will attend classes at both schools, as well as spend one semester living on the other campus. One of the Robertsons' three sons is a 1998 graduate of Duke; another is a senior at North Caro- lina. Ms. Robertson is a member of North Carolina's Board of Ad- visors, and Mr. Robertson grew up in Salisbury, N.C. UNC Interim Chancellor Wil- liam O. McCoy and Duke Presi- dent Nannerl O. Keohane- an- nounced the gift Tuesday, saying it will inspire both universities to "new levels of colleagueship and collaboration Mr. Roberts said in a written statement, "Josie and I are estab- lishing this scholarship because of our great respect for both uni- versities as well as our love and affection for the state of North Carolina The program will provide laptop computers to all partici- pating students. There will be special seminars in the scholars' freshman and senior years to be taught by faculty from both cam- puses. Also, students attend ser- vice learning opportunities, a pre-enrollment retreat and bi- weekly dinners during the fall semester to encourage acclima- tion to the cultures of both cam- puses. Paid summer intern expe- riences are also part of the pro- gram. The first class of M) students, 15 at Duke and 15 at UNC, is ex- pected to enroll in 2001. Al- though the students will gradu- ate from the universities they entered, each will receive certifi- cation that they received their education at both universities. New guidelines urge universities to report drinking to parents DURHAM (AP)-University of- ficials say new federal guidelines will help them expand efforts to notify parents when students have abused alcohol or drugs without violating the privacy rights of students. The regulations issued Thurs- day by the U.S. Department of Education respond to changes Congress made in 1998 to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. University officials said the changes clarify their abil- ity to inform parents of an alco- hol or drug violation. "Parents can be a powerful ally in trying to help students with problems they might be having said CarrieZelna, associate direc- tor of student conduct at N.C. State. "Our notification letters sim- ply tell the parent that a viola- tion happened. It tells them to speak with their student N.C. State currently notifies parents upon a student's second alcohol violation. Duke and UNC officials are working on policies that could establish or expand parental notification on their campuses. Officials said the new guide- lines don't require parental no- tices, but allow them if the stu- dent is under 21. Previously, colleges could only inform parents if the student was under 18 or the institution could prove the student was financially dependent on a parent. The pri- vacy law prohibits colleges from releasing students' educational records.

NEWS Most students unaware of loan changes (TMS Campus)-Students with outstanding loans could save bundles of cash by refinancing their loans. Unfortunately, many of them aren't aware of the op- portunity. As of July 1, the interest rate on student loans will increase by 1.2S percentage points. Due to increases in interest rates set by the Federal Reserve Board over the past year, the rate that bor- rowers must pay is going to in- crease to 8.25 percent, the maxi- mum rate that most borrowers are responsible for paying under federal student-loan law. This new rate hike will affect almost all borrowers in repay- ment, as federal student loans have variable interest rates that are adjusted annually, no matter how long ago the loan was taken out. Education Department offi- cials, however, say that borrow- ers can take advantage of the cur- rent lower rates for the duration of their loans if they consolidate "Since all my loans come through my school, I think that they should have told me about the rate change Caryn Rousseau Senior. University of Missouri them before July 1. By consolidating multiple loans into one, borrowers can receive a fixed interest rate that is based on the weighted average of the rates on the underlying loans. Since rates have been at a historic low, department officials say, refinancing could save bor- rowers with $20,000 in debt about $1,500 in interest charges over the lives of their loans. "I think I should have been told that says Sarah Mallin, a graduate student at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, of her lender, Student Loan Servic- ing Center. Sarah, like most other students, was not aware of the impending rate hike, and the window of opportunity to make use of the old rates. Because the news of the rate change came rather late, May 25, just as students were leaving for summer vacation, the Education Department has been pushing hard the last few weeks to alert borrowers of the upcoming rate change, via radio public service announcements and newspaper articles. Meanwhile, colleges have been deciding whether or not want to inform alumni of the rate change. Some did nothing at all, while others have sent letters to graduates, or posted a notice in their alumni publications.

Homeless activist led Hayes says he'll be ready to welcome those visitors to his downtown neighborhood�with prayer vig- ils, candlelight marches and the presentation of an agenda "to eradicate what is happening at the bottom of society Hayes will be among the po- tentially thousands of people planning to challenge what they call political business as usual while the foregone presidential nomination of Vice President Al Gore unfolds inside the conven- tion. Beyond the heavily secured Democratic meeting site, Hayes is convening a national confer- ence of homeless people and their advocates. Conservative skeptic Arianna Huffington is hosting a shadow convention to discuss "campaign-finance re- form, the growing income gap and the failed war on drugs Constituents of the environmen- talist Green Party and the multi- issue Direct Action Network also plan to converge in Ixis Angeles in the days surrounding the Aug. 14-17 Democratic Convention. Some intend to disrupt the proceedings, as a loose coalition tried to do at recent World Trade Organization and World Bank International Monetary Tund meetings in Seattle and Washing- ton, D.C Others don't plan to get arrested or block access but want only to remind convention guests that not everyone is happy with the major party candidates. "A lot of people are just tired of choosing between the lesser of two evils" when voting for a president, said Alii Starr of the Direct Action Network and Glo- bal Exchange, a San Francisco- based organization dedicated to reordering the economic rela- tionship between the United States and developing nations.

As with any oi Wednesday July 12, 2000 www.tec.ecu.edu OPINION The East Carolinian 5 opinion�tec.ecu.edu Parents who pay for their child's school- ing certainly have a right to know whether or not to expect legal trouble at the very least. OUR VIEW The recent regulations regarding parental notifica- tion when a student is found in violation of drug and alcohol policies at his or her university may disappoint many students. Some may feel that this policy infringes on their privacy and that a university has no business turning in a student to his or her parents. Some stu- dents say that once they come to college, they are faced with new responsibilities, and that a 'mistake' here and there is to be expected. They think that college is a time for growing up, and that parents do not and should not need to know what 'mistakes' their children are making away from home. Vet the fact is that there are many students who come to college to escape their home lives, and most do end up making mistakes, some on a regular basis. These parental notifications are in fact not a viola- tion of privacy, as they do not specify exactly what hap- pened, only that there was a violation that should be discussed. Parents who pay for their child's schooling certainly have a right to know whether or not to expect legal trouble at the very least. Underage drinking is af- ter all, a crime. While there is always room for making mistakes in college, universities should not be expected to tolerate second- and third-time violators who are oblivious to their campuses' regulations. Jaisal Codhi MY OPINION Gun control legislation necessary Gun restriction has been a very controversial issue lately. It has been appearing in the news often and just about everybody seems to have their own ideas. The Second Amendment says people have a right to bear arms. However, with so much violence and much of it due to guns, does the Sec- ond Amendment necessarily hold true? The recent shootings in public schools have really brought this is- sue to a national level. In addition to violence in schools, there have been too many incidents in the work place as well. What impact does this have on the victims and their fami- lies? Are we safe in the work place or any other public place for that mat- ter? This has been a serious issue for some time now and there has been much debate about what the Second Amendment (the right to bear arms) is really saying. Is it really guaran- teeing individuals the right to pos- sess weapons and if so, for what rea- sons or under what conditions? The main question is, what should be done, if anything, about the increas- ing violence? As with any other right, the right to bear arms comes with responsi- bility. This privilege, just like your right to freedom and pursuit of hap- piness, can easily be taken away with due process of law. If you cannot handle a gun or use it legally, then you have lost that right. But it seems as if the opponents of gun control laws don't want to limit the right to bear arms, even to a mentally ill per- son who might go out and start shooting because he heard voices in his head telling him to do so. President Bill Clinton has put forth a tremendous amount of ef- fort to reduce gun violence. How- ever, it has been met with much re- sistance from the Republican-con- trolled congress and the National Rifle Association (NRA). With the NRA lobbying heavily and the Re- publicans against any type of gun control, it seems like there is a long battle ahead. With common sense and the welfare and safety of the general public on their side, they should at least get some effective legislation for gun control.

As I con- sider some of the unflattering statistics asso- ciated with that state (such as low scores with education and a low standard of living) I can't help but think that the state is filled with a bunch of backwoods hicks more concerned with empty ideals than with joining the rest of the modern world. If you are a South Carolinian you should be embarrassed by this whole issue. I'm not from South Carolina and I am embarrassed for you. To put it mildly, this confederate flag busi- ness is completely absurd. When last I checked it was the 21st century, and high time to dis- miss this so-called 'heritage' notion to which flag supporters refer in order to justify the continued flying of the Confederate flag at government institutions. It's the same 'heri- tage mind you, that divided our nation, sparked a bloody war between the states and lead to many an assassination along the way. Why are some people so proud of this flag? People from other countries can't understand the enduring fascination with this flag on the part of some Southerners. I have no fascina- tion with this flag. I feel that it is morally op- posed to everything that today's America stands for. As Southern American citizens, our heritage should not solely rest on a Civil War fought nearly 140 years ago to preserve ideals and arguments that are horribly outdated. Instead, the Civil War is where the roots of our current racial divide rest. The flag is sym- bolic of slavery and I am sure that all descen- dants of slaves, among many others, would like to forget about that shameful and brutal period and move on. How can we as Ameri- cans continue to support something that is only breaking us down? This flag issue threaten to set race relations back at least 40 years, to the days before the gains of the Civil Rights move- ment. True enough, the flag has been removed from the top of the state building. Strangely, it has now been placed IN FRONT of the state build- ing along with (and much to my surprise) a 38- foot Civil War commemorative statue. The flag was raised on a 30-foot BRONZE pole situated in the most visible spot on the statehouse grounds. I guess those backwoods hicks in po- litical office should learn a thing or two about subtlety. The moving of the flag was supposed to be some sort of compromise between flag support- ers and opponents. This strange arrangement has left both sides unhappy with its placement. Supporters feel that the flag should be put back atop of the statehouse, while opponents argue that the flag should not be flown at any insti- tution of state government. Thus, the stage is set for further controversy. Although I am from the South, I am in agree- ment with the opponents. Just take the flag down. The Civil War ended long before we or our parents were born. Let it die. The Confed- eracy lost and the Union won (hence the flag with the 50 stars and stripes). The Union didn't even hold a grudge and graciously let the Con- federacy come back to be a part of something gcxxi-the UNITED States-the richest and most politically powerful nation in history. It's time that the old Confederacy accept defeat and take it like a man (or a woman). This writer can be contacted at adijeack@tec.ecu.edu. eastcarolinian Melyssa L.

(AP)-A woman who called herself the "Daughter of Cod" was convicted Monday of ordering her followers to rob stores to support their lavish lifestyle. Richelle Denise Bradshaw, 34, who also called herself Queen Shahmia, did not react as the jury delivered its verdict She was con- victed of conspiracy to commit robbery, five counts of robbery and grand theft and she faces up to 85 years in prison at sentencing for August 9. Bradshaw's nomadic min- istry group traveled around Florida living on donations and staying in luxury hotels, authorities said. Bradshaw testified that she never ordered her follow- ers to steal and thought they were out grocery shopping when the rob- beries took place. Two of her followers also face trial for a string of New Year's robberies, but their competency is being questioned and a judge has ordered evaluations. OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP)-An onlooker at the scene of a car accident on Saturday morning in Ocean City was charged with biting someone who he felt had smiled inappropriately at the crash scene. Anthony C. Kamenski, 23, of Washington, Pa was charged with assault and malicious destruction. Police said Marcos Ismael Escobar, 28, of Mardela Springs, drove off the road about 2:15 a.m knocking down two parking signs and hitting a utility pole. As officers investigated, Kamenski apparently was offended by a man he be- lieved had smiled as he walked by the accident scene and proceeded to rip his shirt and bite his cheek, police and wit- nesses said. Wednesday July 12, 2000 www.tec.ecu.edu � fcj S Brian Frizzelle FEATURES WRITER You've walked across campus and seen the cupola in the center of the mall, but you never really knew why it was there. It was a gift from a class of students, and there are more gifts like it all over campus. Gifts to the school are given in the form of monetary donations, such as scholarships and landmarks like the cupola. The cupola was purchased with the combined donations of three families of alumni as part of the chancellor's plan for campus renovation. Other examples of landmark do- nations can be found at the newly renovated Joyner Library. The sculptures in the inner garden were donated by various families and alumni. In addi- tion, some of the artwork have been donated while others are on loan or are done by students. "The base for these gifts often comes from alumni said Jim Lanier, vice chancellor of institutional advancement. "We have had a few gifts from stu- dents but no gifts come from student fees. All are donated gifts from outside the university which includes parents, alumni, and students Gifts are usually given to one of three foundations at ECU. These include academics, athletics, and medicine. "We raised over $10 million for all three foundations during the last fiscal year Lanier said. These gifts are for the benefit of the school. Much of the gifts given to the athletic foundation go toward Pirate Club scholarships and more recently to the construction of the new Strength and Conditioning Center. The Pirate Club, also known as the ECU Educational Foundation, is made up mostly of alumni and fans who simply picked ECU as their team to pull for. "Last year we had 6,800 members said Dennis Young, executive direc- tor of the ECU Pirate Club.

As if such a situation weren't terrifying enough, CBS has adopted the Orwellian title so that we are aware of our societal descent into voyeuristic- madness. The scariest part is that the'CBS net- work did not come up with the idea itself. If you don't count the more exciting, youth-oriented "The Real World" on MTV, "Big Brother" program- ming originated in Europe, where a trial season ran with great success. The people in this house have no electronics and few cooking supplies, although their fenced- in back yard does include a swimming pool and a mini-farm with chickens and a lemon tree. Given occasional instructions by the network gods who observe and direct the show from their little booth full of TVs, the housemates aim to peaceably co- exist without killing each other until, one by one, the general public votes members off by submit- ted vote at the CBS.com Web site. The last resi- dent left sitting gets half a million dollars. The take is not as large as "Survivor" but, then again, nobody has to eat grubs or sleep with snakes. At first it seemed that "Big Brother" was a big mistake. The first day involved the housemates wan- dering around a lot and being polite. Nobody started kwati mx'JkJ nil J! If li-4-TtJ IM�-f Lift a fight, nobody had sex, and nobody went to a strip club and came home in a police car. Of course, since they can't leave the house, that last one would be difficult anyway, but it just goes to show you how the CBS anti-privacy show differs sharply from the relative freedom allotted to cast members on "The Real World Another significant difference is that these people have already stopped acting. On "The Real World the cameras shut off on occasion, so the cast pre- serves and projects a constant persona when on screen. In the "Big Brother" house, the cameras never go away. The bedrooms are even equipped with night-vision so that we can watch these people sleep. After only four days, it was apparent that the cast members had already grown accustomed to the cam- eras and stopped thinking about them all the time. The action got a little better as the first week went on. We learned that one of the housemates has an unhappy marriage and that another housemate is a stripper. We watched a ladies' man hit on Miss Wash- ington State, who is indeed a member of the cast, even though his girlfriend was probably watching at home. Good stuff for the nosy housewife or dorm room bunny. But, don't expect these people to do anything too outlandish. It's a little like watching "48 Hours" without Dan Rather, and for way more than two days. We have three months to get to know these people and, lucky for us, they're on every single night of the week. That's right, you can catch normal people living in a house all the time. And when the show's not on, you can see them on the Web site. So if your own life isn't nearly boring enough or you grow weary of watching normal people inhabiting your own home, this show is for you. 777s writer can be reached at leatures@tec.ecu.edu. www.attic-niqhtclub.com Uptown Greenville 209 E. 5th St 752-7303 Wed.

Wednesday July 12, 2000 www.tec.ecu.edu NEW IBERIA, La. (AP) -The Iberia Parish sheriff should be or- dered to return rap music con- fiscated from a roller skating rink and stop harrasing the rink's owner, the ACLU says. Skate Zone owner Frank lorries and rink manager Tricia Boudoin were arrested in Febru- ary on charges of contributing to thedelinquency of a minor. They have not been prosecuted. Sheriff Sid Hebert contends that the rap lyrics started a brawl outside the rink. He arrested Torries and Boudoin several days afterdeputies broke up the brawl and confiscated the CDs. Torries filed a civil rights suit in U.S. District Court in Lafayette. 'The lawsuit is asking whether playing 'The Hokey Pokey' can be considered a criminal act said Joe Cook, executive directorfor the Louisiana chap- ter of the ACLU. ACLU attorney E. Barton Conradi is asking U.S. District Court Judge Tucker Melancon to declare the music constitution- ally protected. Only one CD was marked "The lawsuit is asking whether playing The Hokey Pokey' can be considered a criminal act Joe Cook Executive director ACLU, Louisian with a parental warning sticker. The others all are edited versions that play on the radio, Conradi said. In an affidavit to lorries' arrest warrant, Sgt. Gerald Scott said the confiscated music contained "vile, obscene and indecent lan- guage "This type of music is the prin- cipal cause of the large gang fights that break out at this business he wrote. The sheriff's office has had to break up five large fights at the rink in the last four years, Hebert said. Hebert said he is sticking by his decision. Parents have the right to know business owners won't play morally questionable music to their children, he said. The night the music was con- fiscated, several hundred youths, all between the ages of 12 and 21, attended a party for which or- ganizers rented a St. Mary Parish school bus to bring them to the rink. The fight broke out when the youths were told to board the bus to leave about 10:45 p.m. The fight spilled outside into the parking lot. Skates were thrown through a rink's front window and several windows on the bus, a sheriff's report said. In a letter to area clergy, Hebert asks them to stand with him against the "slowly eroding" standards and corruption in the community. "The lyrics of these songs breed violence in the minds of our chil- dren, then unfortunately, they act on what was planted in their minds Hebert wrote. Cook said pastors supporting Hebert might consider what would happen if the government decided how they worship. "You could be next Cook said. Jump on In!

Beginning next year, the CAA wi be left with six teams and fight for sur- vival. The exodus from the conference be gan last fall when ECU, already a member of Conference USA in foot- ball, opted to join the league for all sports beginning in 2001. Later in the year, American and Richmond followed ECU's lead announcing that they too would leave the CAA for other conferences. "The CAA is larger than any one institution CAA commissioner Thomas Yeager said following Richmond's decision to leave. Yeager's proclamation may be tested this season as American, Rich- mond and ECU will not be eligible to compete. The trend of leaving the CAA began with the Pirates. In October of 1999, C- USA formally invited ECU into the con- ference. Based on C-USA's spot as one of the nation's most visible conference, ECU quickly accepted. "Conference USA as a total con- ference, I think is one of the pre- mier athletic conferences in the coun- try said ECU Athletic Director Mike Hamrick following the announcement. "It has been so uncomfortable being in two conference. After 2000 we will be able to say we are a member of one con- ference In December, the CAA's Council of Presidents accepted ECU's resignation from the conference. As a condition of their resignation, the CAA made ECU ineligible to compete for CAA Championships in the 2000-2001 season. "We continue to wish ECU success in the future, but the Council determined that it was inappropriate for a resigned member to potentially represent the con- ference in NCAA competition. The move means that the Pirates will have a CAA schedule next season but will not be in the running for a regular sea- son title, nor will they be invited to the conference tournament. The only way the Pirates will make it to an NCAA com- petition will be by virtue of an at-large bid. In their last shot at a CAA title, the Pi- rates would end up winning titles in three Spring sports. The ECU women's swim- ming, women's track & field and base- ball teams took home titles in the 2000 season. The spring would also see the CAA lose "The CAA is larger than any one institution Thomas Yeager CAA commissioner two more members. Virginia and the Washington D.C. area have long been considered the heartland of the CAA. Only two of the conference's nine teams (ECU, UNC- W) are from outside of the area. This time it would be a pair of schools from that area that would bid farewell. First, American University an- nounced in April that it would be leav- ing and joining the Patriot League in the 2001-2002 season. A month later, the University of Richmond an- nounced that it too would be leaving the CAA. With it's current lineup missing three of its charter members, the CAA heads into the 2000-2001 season with uncer- tainty. Next years' CAA baseball tourna- ment will be held in Manteo. This year, ECU supplied most of the fans at the event. The CAA will have top find a way to replace the Pirate fans. Many other. CAA events are held in Richmond. While VCU, located in Richmond, is still a member one of the city's school, the Richmond Spi- ders will not be competing. The CAA now must look for new members to fill the void left by the three departures. "The CAA has an expansion com- mittee in place and that group will continue to actively address issues involving potential new members said Yeager. Indeed the CAA will have to work quickly to find new members or the CAA itself might be in danger.

There, high in the stands, he spotted his father, Sam, waving his arms desperately to get his son's attention, and his mother, Georgia. Sampras climbed into the bleachers and shared a long em- brace with his parents, who had just watched their son make his- tory by winning his seventh Wimbledon title and record 13th Grand Slam championship. "It was nice to share it with my parents he said. "I've wanted them to be a part of it. It took me a while to find them (in the stands). Once I did, it was a great moment It was a rare display of emotion by Sampras, whose parents had never been to Wimbledon or seen him win any Grand Slam. They flew in from Southern California only the day before. ' . f- . �, f" .�?"�' ( fr '�' t' t �' Sampras rewarded them by overcoming Patrick Rafter 6-7 (10), 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-2 Sunday to pass Roy Emerson for the most Slam titles and tie Willie Renshaw, a player in the 1880s, for the most Wimbledon victo- ries. "Win or lose today, I was go- ing to invite them here he said. "I'm glad they hopped on the plane and made the trip The only other time Sampras' parents saw him play in a Grand Slam tournament was at the 1992 U.S. Open, where he lost in the semifinals to Goran Ivanisevic. "My parents are not tennis parents he said. "You see a lot of cases where parents get too involved. I'm my own man. They always give me my indepen- dence There was another emotional family celebration at Wimbledon this weekend. On Saturday, 20- year-old Venus Williams climbed into the stands to embrace her 18-year-old sister, Serena, and father, Richard, after beating Lindsay Davenport in the ' f f Afc : � ��it.A.

It was Venus' first Grand Slam title, and the second for the Wil- liams sisters. Serena won the U.S. Open last year. Venus and Serena teamed Monday to become the first sis- ters ever to win the Wimbledon women's doubles title, beating Julie Halard-Decugis and Ai Sugiyama 6-3, 6-2. The match had been put off until Monday due to Sunday's rain. The Williams sisters now have a total of nine Grand Slam titles between them in singles (2), doubles (3) and mixed doubles (4). Sampras' victory capped the most challenging of his seven title runs at Wimbledon. Coping with acute tendinitis above his left ankle from the second round on, he couldn't practice between matches. "It really is amazing how this tournament just panned out for me he said. "I didn't really feel like I was going to win here. 1 felt I was struggling The final had four hours of rain delays and ended in fading light at 8:S7 p.m after 3 hours, 2 minutes of actual play. If Rafter, the two-time U.S. Open cham- pion, had won the fourth set, they would have had to return Monday. Sampras said before the match that as long as his right arm held up, he would be a threat. It held up fine. Sampras served 27 aces at up to 133 mph, and had 46 more unreturned serves as he averaged a remarkable 123 mph on first serves. Sampras faced only two break points and won once more with- out yielding a single game on his serve. Rafter couldn't break him in 21 service games. In his seven title matches, Sampras has dropped serve only four times in 131 games. The only time Sampras buck- led was in the first-set tiebreaker when he double-faulted to lose the set. "We all choke said Sampras, who wound up with 12 double- faults. "No matter who you are, you just get in the heat of the moment The match turned in the sec- ond set tiebreaker, when Rafter wilted after taking a 4-1 lead. He double-faulted, then netted a forehand to let Sampras tie it. Sampras then smacked a service winner and won his fifth straight point with a stunning inside-out forehand crosscourt that zipped past Rafter. Two points later, he put the set away with a solid vol- ley. "I felt it slipping away Sampras said. "He lost his nerve at 4-1 in the second breaker. From a matter of feeling like I was going to lose the match, I felt like I was going to win the match within two minutes Rafter admitted the tension got to him. "I did get a little bit tight he said. "It was an opportunity for me to go up two sets to love. From there it's a very tough po- sition, as Pete knows, to come back from that. But that's what happens when you get tight Sampras has won 28 straight matches at Wimbledon, extend- ing his mark there to 53-1 over the past eight years.

(AP)-Tony Stewart believes his sometimes difficult rivalry with Kenny Irwin was one of the reasons for their rise in the NASCAR ranks. So he felt good about dedicat- ing his victory in the New En- gland 300 on Sunday to Irwin, killed Friday when his car crashed in practice at New Hamp- shire International Speedway. "We weren't always on the best of terms, but we always brought out the best in each other Stewart said. "We always re- spected each other Facing a fuel problem Sunday, Stewaft got lucky and won the rain-delayed race, which was shortened by 27 laps. He dominated, leading 156 of 273 laps. A year ago, a fuel mis- calculation by his crew chief cost him the race. This time, a decision to remain on the track once he got the lead before the first of two rain-caused red flags, proved decisive. He was happy for crew chief Greg Zipadelli, whose bad math was costly last year. But most of all, he was happy he was able to come through for Irwin. "I want to win this one for Kenny Stewart said during a rain delay halfway through the event. "I'm sure he's riding along with all of us this weekend Meanwhile, Mike Helton, NASCAR's chief operating officer, said the cause of Irwin's crash re- mained undetermined. The death came eight weeks after Busch series driver Adam Petty was killed in the same low- banked third turn. Stewart's Pontiac, like the cars of the other 42 drivers, had a de- cal that read: "In Memory of Kenny Irwin A slightly subdued crowd of 101,000 filed out quietly after NASCAR called the race. There were no post-race celebrations, and Stewart didn't take a victory lap as the rain began to fall harder. Stewart and Irwin had raced each other hard for most of the last decade, starting with midg- ets and sprints before both moved to NASCAR. Last October, they banged into each other twice in Martinsville, Va. The second collision side- lined Stewart, who threw heat shields from his shoes at Irwin, an act that resulted in a $5,000 fine from NASCAR. "We had our ups and downs Stewart said of Irwin. "But it was two guys pushing each other hard Stewart said he was badly shaken by the death of Irwin. "It was a wakeup call, a reality check Stewart said. "I was late getting started this morning be- cause I didn't want to miss all the tributes to Kenny on TV. I still think I'm going to walk around the corner and find him there Last July, Stewart dominated late in the race but lost when he ran out of fuel with less than three laps remaining. His crewin- explicably failed to bring him in for a splash of gas even though he was safely in the lead. That blunder cost him what would have been his first career victory. Later, he won three times on his way to a fourth place fin- ish in the points race, capping the best rookie season in history. This time, he would have been forced to pit with about 20 laps left.
