For more than a decade, Boothby, a professor of pub lic policy at the Terry Sanford Institute, has devoted his time and energy to improving the mental health of traumatized children in war-torn countries and to de veloping programs to reunite these children with their families. Most recently, he was stationed in Rwanda, where he served as a consultant for the United Na Gear Up For Fall! tions High Commission for Refugees, the lead relief organization for people who flee their homel.ands. Boothby has been honored for his work by the Uni versity as well as by a variety of humanitarian and governmental groups. "Why do I need to do this kind of work?" Boothby asks. "Part of it for me is being part ofa community of people whose work ethic, level of commitment and dedication is phenomenal, and I don't experience that sense of community anywhere else." Earlier this year, Boothby was asked by the U.S. Department of State to evaluate the conditions faced Sale by women and children in Yugoslavian war zones. In turn, Boothby asked the students in his "Refugees and World Politics" class if they wanted to design a way to analyze the situation and then personally implement it. Nine students took Boothby up on the offer. Seven stayed in refugee camps during their time abroad. The students' work during the course ofthe summer helped identify more than 1,000 unaccompanied children and reunited 40 children with their parents.

"I don't think anyone, beginning with Fred, would have thought it would have gone this-well," said Bill Lewis, the Georgia Tech coach. "They're playing with a tremendous amount of confidence.

The Blue Devils hadn't posted a winning record since 1989, Steve Spurrier's last year before he moved to the University of Florida. That 1989 squad tied for the ACC title and earned Duke's only bowl bid since the Eisenhower administration. The Spurrier days soon became a taunting memory.
