Kegs on the quad. Frat parties on Main West. A packed Hideaway. Once hallmarks of Duke’s party scene, these sights are now things of the past. Weekend conversations today are dominated by words like Ninth, Watts, Buchanan and Urban—names of streets off East Campus where students flock to party. Over the past two decades, changes to national laws, Duke’s residential schema and the University’s event and alcohol policies have significant-

Once known for large-scale parties on West Campus, Duke is now struggling to keep festivities in the Gothic Wonderland and out of Durham’s front yards. Even with more concerts, movies and other social events to choose from than ever before, many students say they want the legendary “Old Duke” party scene to return to campus. If not, they will keep heading off campus to play. What happened? Students living and partying off campus is not a new phenomenon. In the 1940

In high school Sean Dockery used to beg his coach to end practice early so he could watch it, and one ofShavlik Randolph’s middle school games was cancelled for it. It, of course, is Duke versus North Carolina. The rivalry will add another chapter to its illustrious history when the No. 2 Tar Heels (19-2,81 in the ACC) venture into Cameron Indoor Stadium tonight at 9 p.m. to take on the seventhranked Blue Devils (17-2, 7-2). For the first time since the final meeting of the 1995-1996 season, North Carolina will be the higher-ranked team as the Tar Heels try win for just the third time in the last 17 tries against Duke. “It’s definitely the best rivalry in college sports,” UNC center Sean May said. “I’d probably say it’s up there with some of the best rivalries in sports: BostonL.A., New York-Boston. It’s crazy how much people actually get into it, and just walking around town this past week, this is some people’s National Championship right here.” North Carolina comes to Durham as the most prolific offense in the country, averaging more than 92 points per game. The Tar Heels play an uptempo style, and speedy point guard Raymond Felton runs the break as well as any player in the nation.

Daniel Ewing and Rashad McCants form one of tonight's many high-profile matchups.

“l don’t think anybody gets it up as fast as North Carolina does,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “And so I’m sure there will be a little bit of a transition, because we can’t practice that.” Unlike Duke, North Carolina

has a deep bench to complement the trio of May, Felton and Rashad McCants. The Blue Devils need at least two of their “big three” to have strong performSEE UNC ON PAGE 13

UNC guard Melvin Scott gets hishair cut Tuesday at Forty Below, frequented by Duke and UNC basketball players.

It’s a place where everyone knows your name. Where life, laughs and a fair amount of sports trash-talk are one in the same, and the same four faces greet customers behind their chairs six days a week—especially this week. The place is Forty Below, a hometown barbershop and favorite hang-out for Durham locals, students and athletes alike. Forty Below, operating since 1995, remains the barbershop of choice for many basketball players from Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

and has been ground zero for the hype leading up to tonight’s big game. Located between the campuses of the historic rivals, Forty Below operates as a no-fly zone of sorts, where intense game banter simmers down and players relax as they get cleaned up before their games. “Whenever there is a game everybody and their mothers comes through,” owner Robert Massey said. “At the barbershop you can get anything you want, and some wild advice too.” Massey, an ex-NFL cornerback, opened SEE BARBER ON PAGE 14
