After a historic weekend in which millions of East Germans took advantage of their new freedom to travel west, Parliament also picked a non-Communist speaker in the chamber's first secret bal- lot and urged accelerated changes. And the government said it was dismantling internal barriers that for three decades formed a notorious "death strip" between the Berlin Wall and the city's sealed-off eastern sector. Deputies appealed for truly free elections, a coalition government and removal from the constitution of language declaring their na- tion a socialist state. The parliament, known as the Fcople's Chamber, then approved the Communist Party's nomination of Politburo member Hans Modrow to lead a new government as premier. The government traditionally has been subservient to the party. Modrow is a well-known refoi,mer within the party, which has been led by Egon Krenz since Oct. 18. Krenz has promised some reforms, including free elections. As deputies argued into the night in East Berlin, pro-democracy activists in Leipzig pressed for continued change to prolong the spirit of hope sweeping the nation after the festival of freedom over the weekend. West German television estimated the number of protesters at between 200,000 and 300,000. The protesters urged the government to live up to its promise of free elections and questioned the commitment of the new leader- ship. "The question is, are you (the new government) really different —UPI/Reuter from the others?" one speaker said at the rally. WEST BERLIN: A woman holds up a child so he can get a better view of East At the session to approve Modrow, the first secret balloting in Berlin through a hole in the Berlin Wall that was pounded away by demonstrators. the Communist-dominated Parliament elected a new speaker, Guenther Maleuda, who told the assembly it was duty-bound to heed the calls of the reform movement.

  • Blue Devils Stalk Jayhawks for NCAA Title, 72-65
    NCAA VICTORY EDITION At last Once college basketball's perennial brides­ maids, the Duke Blue Devils win it all in their THE CHRONICLE ninth trip to the Final Four. TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 DUKE UNIVERSITY DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA CIRCULATION: 3,000 VOL. 86, NO. 125A DUKE TAKES CROWN! Blue Devils stalk Jayhawks for NCAA title, 72-65 By MARK JAFFE INDIANAPOLIS — For the first time in its history, the men's basketball team captured an NCAA Championship. The Blue Devils used a 17-7 run early in the second half to pull away from Kansas and fought off a furious late-game assault by the Jayhawks to win, 72-65, Monday night at the Hoosier Dome. "I'm so happy for our guys," said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "I'm not sure if anyone's ever played harder for 80 minutes to win a national title." The Blue Devils (32-7) had fallen short ofthe championship in eight previous trips to the Final Four, including four ofthe last five years. But in 1991 Duke would not be denied. "I feel good but [not winning the title] has never been a monkey on my back," Krzyzewski said. "Did you see the players' faces? I looked at my three daughters and saw them crying. I'm just so happy." Christian Laettner, the most outstand­ ing player ofthe tournament, had his first double-double—18 points and 10 rebounds — in 12 games to lead Duke. "I'm just very happy about [most out­ standing player honors]," Laettner said. "But there are more things I'm more happy about — a national championship, a big trophy for coach to bring back to Duke.

Since the very first season our goal has been to offer a rich and wide variety of choral music from the past and present—and that will certainly be true this year! We open in October with Dreams of the Fallen, our salute to American Veterans, a program that will include music of the past (Vaughan Williams, Hanson, Barber and Canteloube) and the present (Hagen, Dessa and Runestad), sung by our combined VocalEssence Chorus & Ensemble Singers. With our friends from the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, this promises to be a glorious way to begin another great year. I am very pleased that for November’s VocalEssence Presents: Voz en Punto, the sensational vocal sextet from Mexico will make their Minnesota debut at the new Ordway Concert Hall. This ensemble is celebrating their 25th anniversary and is regarded as one of Mexico’s musical treasures—and for good reason, as you will hear! December brings us an old favorite, Welcome Christmas, giving us an opportunity to hear some of the beloved carols and hymns of the season (this year with a “big band”) as well as continuing our search for new carols through our Carol Contest— this year, music for voices and solo trumpet. You never know what that will bring! Everyone loves to sing at Christmas, so there will be plenty of opportunities for the audience to join the singers and our big band! We also will offer ourStar of Wonder concert for children of all ages (up to 100).
