In an effort to facilitate education and informed discussion—from a variety of
perspectives-—on the events of September 1 1 and their aftermath, the University of
Oregon Senate Ad-Hoc Committee charged with coordinating the university's response is
sponsoring a series of panel presentations and discussions during Winter term 2002.
Symposia will meet weekly, on Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:30 P.M., in 100
Willamette Hall. Each week will feature presentations and discussions that
draw on the particular perspectives, specializations and expertise of University
of Oregon schools, departments and programs, as well as individual faculty
engaged in teaching and research on topics that inform our understanding of the
September 11th crisis and subsequent developments.
The University Senate Ad-Hoc Committee does not take positions on issues of policy, politics, or
ideology. To ensure its neutrality, the Committee will provide clear identification of the specific
sponsorship of campus activities by the groups that carry them out. In all cases, the content of
remarks and materials relating to these issues are the responsibility of their sponsors, and do not
reflect an official position of the Ad-Hoc Committee or the University of Oregon.
All meetings are free of charge and open to the public.

Debate ensues over
No. 1 conference
By Jeff Potrykus
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MADISON, Wis. — So who is
No. 1 in the world of men’s
college basketball?
Defending national champion
Duke, of course.
“There’s Duke,” Illinois coach Bill
Self said, “and then there’s probably
a whole bunch of teams that are real
ly, really good that hope that they can
knock Duke off their perch.
“And we’re one of those teams.”
Duke was ranked No. 1 in both
pre-season polls and backed up its
lofty ranking by winning the Maui
Invitational last week. Illinois,
ranked No. 2, won the Las Vegas
Invitational.
The debate won’t be settled un
til the national championship
game April 1 in the Georgia Dome
in Atlanta.
But one debate that rages on year
after year is this: Which conference
is No. 1?
The Atlantic Coast Conference
and the Southeastern Conference
are absolutely teeming with tradi
tion. No conference has more sold
out venues than the Big Ten, where
the fans view basketball as a reli
gion, not just a diversion until spring
football. And led by Arizona and
Stanford, the Pacific-10 Conference
is causing East Coast viewers to stay
up late at night and take notice.
Yet during the 1990s and again
last season, the ACC has proved
to be the best when reputations
are established. That is, during
March Madness.
Beginning with the 1990-91 sea
son, when Duke won the first of
two consecutive NCAA titles under
Mike Krzyzewski, the ACC has won
four national titles, more than any
other conference during that time.
The SEC has won three titles; the
Pac-10 has won two and the Big Ten
and Big East have won one apiece.
In addition, the ACC has the
most Final Four appearances (12)
and Elite Eight appearances (16)
during that time.
Krzyzewski, who has won three
national titles, is able to recruit just
about any player he wants to
Durham, N.C. But he also smartly
takes his team on the road to play
top teams at neutral sites early in
the season to prepare his players for
the NCAA tournament setting.
“That’s just part of becoming
good and getting ready for March,’’
he said. “Because when you play in
March, you’re going to play at a
neutral site.
“The other thing is, you’re going
to be playing against a team that is
probably going to advance pretty
far in March.
“So you’re playing a high-caliber
team, at a neutral site, on TV... big
time stakes.”
Final Four contenders
This season, the ACC, SEC, Big
Ten and the Pac-10 each boast a
pair of Final Four contenders. Duke
and Maryland lead the ACC; Ken
tucky and Florida are the dominant
pair in the SEC; Illinois and Iowa
are the premier teams in the Big
Ten; and UCLA and surprising Ari
zona are the most formidable teams
in the Pac-10.

department is already allowing fans
to pre-purchase tickets for the Na
tional Invitation Tournament, as
suming the Sun Devils lose in the
Pac-10 Tournament and host a first
round NIT game.
Another Lute Toot
With the tournament now ap
proaching, Olson is still not in favor
of the conference tournament,
which he has been vocally opposed
to since it was announced last year.
“I have two objections to it,” the
Arizona coach said. “We’ve been
heating up on one another for 18
games, and it makes no sense to me
for whoever makes the final to play
three extra games.
“The worst part about it is from an
academic standpoint, I detest that the
players have to miss three days of
school at a very critical time. ”
But don’t expect Olson to play
down the importance of winning
the conference tournament to
his team.
“When you’re in a game, you’re
in a game to win it,” Olson said.
“Once you’re there, you’re going
to compete.”
Today’s crossword solution
Stanford’s Mike Montgomery,
who has been alongside Olson as
an opponent to the tournament,
also spoke out earlier this week.
Montgomery said he feels that the
Pac-10 Tournament is essentially
meaningless.
“The conference tournament title
has nothing to do with seeding,
only with the automatic bid,”
Montgomery said. “The conference
tournament champion is just that,
the conference tournament cham
pion. Everybody wants to win it,
but give me 18 games to determine
areal champion.”
Borch Art
Stanford junior center Curtis Bor
chardt led Stanford to a sweep of
the Arizona schools on the road
last weekend, and he was reward
ed with Pac-10 Player of the
Week honors.
Borchardt averaged 23.5 points
and 13 rebounds over a weekend
that saw Stanford beat Arizona 76
71 on Thursday and Arizona State
81-76 on Saturday. The two wins
revived a Cardinal team that could
have been heading to the NIT had
they not won both contests.
