WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush thinks gifts should never, ever be opened before Christmas morning. A fondly recalled practice from first lady Laura Bush's childhood dictates tamales and enchiladas for the Christmas Eve menu. Like mill ions of Americans, the president's family has developed its own set of traditions - comforting in their familiarity and binding in their repetition - that govern how Christmas is celebrated. But also like many other households, those cherished yuletide traditions often must make room for fresh faces and changing circumstances. With Jenna off at the University of Texas, Barbara at Yale and their parents in the White House, the family 's holiday custom of gathering to hang trinkets and tinsel on the Christmas tree now falls toothers. And the hot chocolate that used to follow has been rescheduled for Christmas morning. Asked if any special traditions - such as the tree decorating or watching home movies on Christmas Eve - have fallen by the wayside for the Bush family, Mrs. Bush did ilot hesitate. "Yes!" she said. "We really miss the traditions because the girls are away at college. But we still drink hot chocolate and open presents as . a family. Now, we just do it at Camp David." The presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains where the Bushes headed on Saturday happens to be a tradition of sorts for the family. They often spent the holiday there when the president's father was in the White House as vice president and president. The cur.rent' president, his wife and two girls would arrive in Washington a day or two before Christmas, maybe attend a White House reception ·and then head for the hills with the rest of the large, tight-knit clan.

NATIONAL VIEW erit .• The Miami Herald, on former President Carter's message in Oslo: At a time when Washington is loudly thumping the drums of war, a mute'd voice from the other side of the globe weighed in ... with a message of peace and hope. The inspiring words came from former President Jimmy Carter who was in Oslo, Norway. to accept this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Many Americans have fonder memories of Mr. Carter's worldwide humanitarian works after he left office than of his performance as a one-term president. His presidency is viewed in some quarters as nothing short of disastrous, and with justification. Nevert.heless! his ~ork since in other ~lobal arenas has shown h1s ment. In th1s regard, we find a smcere, umely and · accurate communication from Mr. Carter on the matter of war. In his message, he urged that we Americans use the great power we have as the world's only superpower with commensurate responsibility. We should heed that sentiment, especially as we prepare for what now seems inevitable war with Iraq. · Mr. Carter may be the most prominent American to call for restraint and diplomacy in confronting Iraq's treachery, but he isn't alone .... Even as President Bush contmues to bluster and threaten an attack on Iraq, we're encouraged that he continues to support the United Nations efforts to disarm Iraq peaceful. . . Although President Bush won a strong resolution of support from Congress to go agamst Iraq as a last resort, the stimngs among Americans in the name of peace are signs that as a nation, we are not of one rt:~ind about the prospect of war. Americans will support a war that is just and rational ·or in defense of our people and interests. But even then, war is called for only when all other options have failed.

CHARLOTIE, N.C. (AP)Traffic is bad, a hotel room can't be found within a 20-mile radius and a iicket to the Continental Tire Bowl is almost impossible to find . Charlotte, a city generally regarded as a lousy sports. town; is suddenly crawling with ·college football fans. All 73 ,258 tickets to Saturday 's game between West Virginia and Virginia are sold. That doubled the mark organizers had targeted to consider the inaugural bowl a success and proved the city has rebounded from the loss of its NBA team . . . "Charlotte has been labeled . under the banner of losing a professional sport s team ," Carroll Gray, .rresident of the Charlotte Chamber business group, said Monday. · "We're not known as a sports iown, so the results of this bowl is something totally unexpected. It's exceeded our predictions by almost 2-to-1." With attendance dwindling at the NFL's Carolina Panthers games and the NBA's Hornets gone to New Orleans, th.e bowl was expected to take years to develop into a premier event. . But the pairing of West Virginia and Virginia - two sc hools within easy driving .di stance - has raised interest in the game and will give the Tire Bowl the second-largest crowd for a first-year bowl in NCAA history. The Blockbuster Bowl, now calle.d the Tangerine Bowl; drew 74 ,021 [or Florida StatePenn State at Pro Player Stadium in . ·South Florida in 1990 in its first year.

"I'm dazed, shocked and overwhelmed," said Ken Hain es, . vice president of · Raycom Sports. "Never in a million years did we think we 'd have something like this in our first year. We thought this bowl game would take some time to grow up. Instead, we've struck lightning right out of the gate." Haines attributes the interest to West Virginia and Virginia both bei ng passed over for more established bowls despite · each school finishing second in their conference. That meant two top-level teams fell into the Tire Bowl, giving the game established fan bases that wo.uldn 't have· to . travel very far. Haines ·said WVU fans account for more than 30,000 of the tickets soid while Virginia supporters snapped up 20,000. The lure of Ericsson Stpdium was also · a draw for college football fans eager to watch a game in an NFL setting , Haines said. And when the tickets started going, the local communi!~ rushed in to get some before 11 was too late. "We didn't know what would happen with the Charlotte community," Haines said. "The Hornets had left, the Panthers have not won a lot lately. I guess as it turns out, the. town was hun gry for something suecessful." Both teams spent Sunday at Ericsson Stadi um watching the Panthers play the Chicago Bears. For Virginia coac.h AI Groh , who coached the New York.Jets in the NFL, it was his first time at Ericsson - which has routinely been picked as one of the top NFL stadium s.

Little did Kline - or pretty much anyone else - think then that the Buckeyes would run the table during the regular season and play Miami for the national championship on Jan. : 3 in the Fiesta Bowl. "Do I wish it had come a year earlier? Yeah, sure, but it didn 't and that's how the chips fall,'' Kline said last week dur· ing an interview at his· · Columbus apallmcnt. · "All you c;m do is find : humor in it. Once you pry · away at every thing, my career has been pretty funny. the ups and downs and the fact that I just walked away and now . they're going to the national · championship game. That's : funny, too. That just puts ai1 : exclamation ·point on my : career." .. Until now, the details behind Kline's decision to leave the team better resembled an : exclamation point with a twist, · otherwise known as a question : mark. What prompted him to walk away after already having overcome so much? The truth comes from more than one : answer. Kline has not discussed his : decision publicly until now, · primarily because it took sev· eml months to understand it himself. Initially, the word was that . Kline left because of injuries : - a tom medial collatcmllig. ament as a true freshman, three stress fractures in his back as a redshin freshman and a tom tendon in a shoulder at the end of last year - that hampered his ability to perform at the ltigh level he set for himself. Then the rumors began. "A lot of them are funny,'' he • said. 'managing 'to find more humor in dark circumstances. "One was that · I got TQY girlfriend pregnant and had to . drop out and get a job. The other I heard a lot was that I was struggling with my grades and had to quit to get better grades." adding that he has a 3.5 grade-point avemge. Kline also found it interesting that people assumed he had. dropped out of school after leaving the team. "Why would I do that?" he said. In fact, pan of the reason Kline quit football was to make his school experience more valuable. He saw friends outside of football getting internships and building their resumes and worried that he was missing out 0il becoming prepared for life after football. The finance major has tried to make up for that "lost time" by working for Smith Barney · financial services. Kline, who said he never held aspirations of playing in the NFL, realizes he could have remained on the team and probably relied on football connections to get a good job. "But I want to earn it.'' he said. "Plus, I don't think the jobs you can get without experience are necessarily the jobs you want to db." That attitude also helps explain Kline's football decision-making process. He has high standards of perfonmance and thinks he would be letting others down if that performance was lacking. " I try to do everything to the best of my ability," he said. going on to explain that even though he had been named a starter against Texas Tech he knew he wasn'tthe same player who came to OSU in I 999. "It's an honor to be named a staner. no matter what, and I felt honored, but at the same time, because of my shoulder. .. I couldn 't be as physical with people I used to be physical with. I guess I'm conscien· tious when it comes to that." That said, Kline's nagging injuries only tell a part of the story. "It was a lot of the medical 'reason, but it wasn't the only reason. (Medical) is just what came out," he said. "Maybe it was the easiest way to handle it at'the time." Tim Spencer, Ohio State's running backs coach. still thinks that Kline's frustration is tied mostly to his health. "[ knew he was hulling . He' d get healthy and then there would be something else," Spencer said. "I thought it would be tough for him to hold up at (fullback). I think he just figured, 'Hey, it's time.· Sometimes that 's hard." · Kline, however, was not happy abOut his inability to see game action and thinks his injuries were only pan of the reason he wasn't playing. "I was always frustrated. I think any guy who doesn't play a lot is frustrated," he said. "I'm not one to complain, but looking back maybe I should have. That's not the way I chose to handle it." Matt Wilhelm, who roomed with . Kline two years ago, knew that his teammate had been mulling his future for quite some time. "He had to do ~at was best for him/' the OSU linebacker said. "You can't always say. ' Do what's best for the team.' Personal things override team at some points, and that's what happened. . ''The situation he was in, I'm sure there were many of us who would have done the same thing, . who no matter how great a practice you had or how great a scrimmage you weren' t going to play." Kline, who remains on scholarship and plans to travel to the Fiesta Bowl, summed it up, "Just being on the team wasn't getting it done any- more.n He knows that some fans might trash him for that comment. · "As far as the fans are concerned, it's anyone's dream to play Ohio State football, so I've heard the question. 'How could you walk away?' I know there . are I0 million people who would switch places with me, but I guess the cl i'che holds, 'Until you've walked in somebod y' s shoes.
