Lewis recalls King as hero By BECKY YOUNG The Chronicle

Addressing a Chapel nearly filled with people

joined to celebrate and honor the life of Martin

Luther King Jr., Rep. John Lewis, DGa., delivered a serious, inspiring speech Sunday. A man introduced by professor emeritus of history John Hope Franklin as one who finds “nothing more important than seeking the realizatipn of the goal of equality,” Lewis focused on remembering the importance of King’s life while at the same time continuing his efforts Beginning with a light-hearted John Lewis anecdote of his Pike County, Ala. childhood, Lewis set the tone for his reverent, challenging and uplifting speech. .Reflecting on his 10-year personal relationship with “the moral leader of this nation,”

Lewis explained that he “regarded [King] as a brother, friend, colleague, prophet, spiritual leader and hero.” During his celebration of King’s life, Lewis found it important to focus both on King’s message and on his methods. “The concept of nonviolent resistance was a ray of hope.... King spoke to the hearts and conscience of all of those who believed nonviolence is the way [to create social change],” he said. Lewis, a long-time activist and cofounder and former chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, recounted multiple stories of the racism and abuse he and others encountered during their youth, including a concussion he suffered during the attempted march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965. Explaining that King valued the creation of See LEWIS on page 18 'P-

Community marks MLK Day By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

As the Duke community celebrated Martin Luther King’s life this weekend, the themes of unity in the midst of diversity and the equality of all people were on the minds ofmany participants. The University has dedicated a full week to commemorate King, and the events began last Friday at noon with a candlelight vigil in his honor. The majority of events took place yesterday, on the federal and University holiday set aside to honor King. They included a “Yam Jam” community service project, a cultural extravaganza led by student groups, a speakout on the Chapel steps, a panel discussion on race and a movie, Follow Me Home. Dr. Brenda Armstrong, a pediatric cardiologist and director of admissions at the School of

Medicine, spoke at Friday’s vigil about her personal experiences with racism, concluding that the struggle for racial equality was far from over. “We remember civil rights struggles of the ’sos and ’6os as the past,” Armstrong said. “Yet these issues that Dr. King gave his life to are far from settled.” Many at Monday afternoon’s speakout voiced similar sentiments, identifying problems ranging from the lack of minority social space at Duke to the more universal issue of stereotyping that remain concerns today. “Coming from an all-black high school, I didn’t expect to see the many stares when I enter a classroom,” said Trinity sophomore Dorian Bolden, who also related how he is often watched in stores or taken for an employee rather than a See

A decision by senior administrators allowed some of them to be placed back in selective houses mostly.” Then, because most of the students who benefited from this exception were selective house members, Burig allowed a similar number of non-selective house members to move from Trent into West Campus bedspaces as they opened to correct for any unfairness in the previous decision. Bung also said that the space crunch stemmed from a decrease in the number of students vacating their rooms to go abroad in the spring. But Dean of Study Abroad Christa Johns said 118 students went abroad this spring, a number commensurate with previous trends. The underlying problem, however, is that so many more students study abroad in the fall semester than in the spring. Although the number of fall study abroad students dropped slightly this year—39o down from 415 last year—-Johns said many University students are still intent on going away in the fall. ‘There are a variety of reasons students want to be See

Thousands protest Confederate flag The marchers marked MLK Day by rallying at the state capitol in South By DAVID FIRESTONE N.Y. Times News Service

With a COLUMBIA, S.C. strength and exuberance seldom seen since the days of the civil rights movement, a crowd 0f46,000 marchers pointed to the Confederate flag snapping over the state capitol Monday and demanded that it be removed from public life. “The flag is coming down today,” they sang in an updated version of “We Shall Overcome,” on a sunny anniversary of the birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Young people who had never attended a

protest strode next to an older generation that knew the drill, waving signs, stomping feet and mock-grimacing at the object of their derision on the dome. Many seemed to act as though their sheer numbers and deafening decibel power alone might shake up the state legislators who have kept it flying. “Not everyone in South Carolina is still living in the 18th century,” said James Gallman, president of the South Carolina NAACP, standing on the capitol steps and speaking to a roaring crowd that spread out for blocks around him. “We are

going to send a clear message to those who have the authority to deal with the placement of the Confederate battle flag. Let it be clearly understood that we live in the sovereign state of South Carolina, and not in the Confederate States of America.” The march was the largest in Columbia’s history, according to Mayor Bob Coble, and perhaps the greatest civil rights rally since the 19605, according to Kweisi Mfume, the national president of the NAACP who was the day’s main See FLAG on page 9

Officials postpone Israeli-Syrian talks By JANE PERLEZ

N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON In a setback for the Israeli-Syrian peace talks that was precipitated by a Syrian demand that its major negotiating point be settled im-

mediately, the Clinton administration announced Monday that the resumption of the negotiations had been postponed indefinitely. The administration was careful not to blame either side, saying in a deliberately worded statement by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright that “their approaches to the next round differ, and as a result, there is going to be a delay” in the talks set for Wednesday at Shephardstown, W. Va. Instead of the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, and the Syrian foreign minister, Farouk al-Shara, coming as expected, both sides would send experts to Wash-

ington to “provide their comments” on the peace treaty draft written by the United States, Albright said. A senior administration official downplayed the seriousness of the snag, saying that instead ofhaving the two negotiators come to the United States and “dig in,” it was judged that it would be more productive to wait.

The administration set no public timeline for new talks, but officials suggested they would be working feverishly behind the scenes to keep momentum and resolve the problem of how to deal with each side’s determination to have their positions dealt with first. The administration has gone out of its way to try to solve each side’s major issues simultaneously. The resumption of the talks unraveled Sunday when the Syrian media announced that Israel must make its withdrawal from the Golan Heights to the See

On the other hand, athletes who live off campus are given a check for their food expenses at the beginning of the year, and the Athletic Department trusts them to use the funds appropriately. Most athletes agreed that off-campus athletes might use some of the money on other things, but for the most part it does go toward food. Amamoo, who lives off campus, said there is no better way that the school can regulate the money and make sure that the athletes’ basic necessities are met.

THE BEER CHEST AT THE ARMADILLO GRILL is off-limits to athletes on full scholarship using their food points. Several athletes said they dislike the athletic department rule.

“From an athlete’s standpoint, I agree that whether in season or not, athletes should be dry,” he said. “Food points should be used for nutrition, to

better the body, not for alcohol.” Although the policy has not been tested, Kennedy said the penalties for breaking it probably would not be too harsh at first. “I’d sit him down and say, We should have restricted your card; don’t do it again,”’ Kennedy said.

He added that all of Duke’s 150 oncampus full scholarship athletes can either automatically receive the largest food plan available or they can pick their own plan, but this depends on the sport played. The football team and the men’s basketball team are on a weekly points system. Athletic Department Business Manager Mitch Moser said this system takes the largest food plan, plan E, and

ceives food points and some catered meals after practice, and she also receives an additional check for food. She said the system is “a little lopsided, but in the end it will work out. It’s all a matter of personal preference.” Most coaches and administrators said the athletes do not abuse the food points. Bill Hempen, the women’s soccer coach, believes his team uses the points effectively. “I talk to them and see-what is right for them,” Hempen said. ‘They don’t abuse their points though, they are good with them.”

Ever since the Armadillo Grill started serving alcohol on points last semester, students have flocked to the Bryan Center restaurant to get their spirits lifted. But not all students have this privilege. A University policy prohibits varsity athletes on full scholarship from buying alcohol on their food points, which are University-funded. Chris Kennedy, associate athletic director, did not know exactly when the policy was put into effect but said the rule has always functioned, even before it was a stated policy. “I don’t remember a time when there wasn’t a general feeling that points shouldn’t be used for alcohol. And I’ve been here since ’77,” he said. However, athletes can use their FLEX accounts for alcohol. University vendors can verify a student’s athletic status when they swipe DukeCards at registers, said Creed Springs, manager ofthe Armadillo Grill. Most varsity athletes are content with their food plans, and they only have an issue when it comes to their inability to buy alcohol on points. “If you’re 21 and oflegal age, the rule isn’t fair,” said Trinity sophomore and football player Noah Wilson. Many athletes believe that any student over 21 should be allowed to buy alcohol with

Discussion probes existence, meaning of racial groups While remaining wary of the question, “What is race?panelists agreed that denying race would be futile By TREY DAVIS The Chronicle

Columnist and professor William Raspberry opened Monday afternoon’s “What is Race?” panel discussion by calling the framing question “fiendish.” More than 100 people gathered in Von Canon as the five panelists tried to tackle the tricky question by presenting cases for and against the existence of race at all. Raspberry, the panel’s moderator, started by reading a selection from Eugene Robinson’s book Coal to Cream, illustrating the difficulty in classifying people by race.

Although he acknowledged that everyone has some idea of what race is, he added that “at a different level, we don’t know what race is at all.” Panelists demonstrated these different levels of defining race. “I see race as something that started off as a biological, scientific concept,” said panelist Julian Sanchez, director of the Office of Intercultural Affairs, adding that race has since been transformed into a social issue. But panelist Elizabeth Kiss, director of the Kenan Ethics Program, said that while race is a very real social construct, there is no biological basis for it. “Race is false and a myth,” she said.

Kiss noted that although whites

may not realize it—or can easily ig-

nore it—they are endowed with societal racial assets that make their lives easier, complicating the process of defining and dealing with race. Examples of this white privilege,

“We whites are so ignorant about the realness of race.”

she said, include simple things like flesh-colored Band-Aids that match

light skin. “We whites are so ignorant about the realness of race,” Kiss said. Indeed, many panelists and audience members seemed to agree that “whiteness” is equated to an absence

of race.

One white audience member said the black community has a shared burden of discrimination that works as a bond between them, while whites as a race have no such kinship. Panelist Julian Harris, Rhodes Scholar and Trinity senior, agreed, saying that even if race were somehow erased genetically, the black community would still have a shared culture and ancestry. The other student panelist was Trinity senior Katherine Stroup, editor of

The origins of the fascination with the concise and catchy date back at least as far as the luxurious courts and salons of seventeenth-century France, where authors and audiences engaged in rhetorical rituals not dissimilar to our own. The texts these authors produced are considered “classics” today. What was their appeal at the time and how has it changed for today’s audience? What can we learn about aristocratic leisure society at the beginning of this early modern period and its demands on literature? What impact does the broadening of social salons to include the haute bourgeoisie in the late 1600s have on literature’s “classical” style? How does brevity, a classical ideal, help ensure a work’s success with this new audience? -

Officer sends condolences to ethnic Albanian girl’s family By MELISSA EDDY Associated Press

VITINA, Yugoslavia The top U.S. military official in Kosovo sent his condolences to the family of an 11-year-old ethnic Albanian girl who was sexually assaulted and killed, allegedly by an American soldier serving in Kosovo. “On behalf of [the international peacekeeping force and the U.S. military presence in Kosovo, I Kosovo] in want to express to you our most heartfelt sympathy on the death of your daughter,” read a personal letter by Brig. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, released today. Staff Sgt. Frank Ronghi, based at Fort Bragg, N.C., and serving with the international peacekeeping force in Kosovo, was charged Sunday with sexually assaulting and killing the ethnic Albanian girl, the U.S. military said Sunday. It is the first time a peacekeeper from any country has been accused of such serious crimes since the 50,000-strong peacekeeping force entered the province in June. “I did not know your daughter, but as a father I feel a deep sense of loss and can imagine your pain,” Sanchez’s letter said. “I cannot say I know how you feel, but I know how I feel.... The department of the army will spare no effort in bringing this matter to justice.” The incident has threatened relations between the Americans and the Kosovo civilians the peacekeepers were sent to protect. The peacekeepers arrived after NATO’s 78-day bombing campaign forced Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to halt his bloody crackdown against Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority. “We don’t want them here to give us security if they are going to do this,” said Muharram Samakova, a neighbor of the girl’s family. Ronghi, 35, is a weapons squad leader assigned to A Company, 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment from Fort Bragg, Golson said. It was not immediately clear where Ronghi was from within the United States. He was transferred late Sunday from Camp Bondsteel to the U.S. Army’s confinement facility in Mannheim, Germany. The girl’s body was found late Thursday in the countryside near the city of Vitina, 45 miles southeast of the provincial capital, Pristina, the army said. A senior U.N. official who asked not to be named said Saturday that the girl appeared to have been raped before she was killed. In Vitina, the slain girl’s father, Hamdi Shabiu, showed reporters a photo of his daughter’s corpse that he said a U.S. officer brought him late Thursday

when he was informed of her death. The girl’s face appeared battered and bruised, with a small cut on

banians. Other similar cases—such as the rape of a 12-yearold Japanese girl by three U.S. servicemen in 1995 sparked rallies against U.S. military presence. The U.S. peacekeepers are widely seen as heroes by Kosovo Albanians because of Washington’s key role in the NATO bombing campaign. Groups of ethnic Albanian children could be seen milling around

study abroad programs are actually only offered in the spring, Tom Meese, a Pratt junior, was studying in Sydney, Australia, when he learned from his parents that he was placed in Trent. “I was pretty shocked. I didn’t live there sophomore year, so I figured I

would avoid there for good,” he said. “I thought it was punishment for living on the beach in Sydney.” After applying for reassignment, he now lives in a single in the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity section and is happy with where he ended up. Of the 48 students assigned to Trent, 39 were women. Burig explained that this discrepancy is caused by the disproportionate number of women who study abroad—nearly twice as many as men.

Buses rolled all night to bring in marchers from Baltimore and Birmingham, many of whom spent the night with friends to avoid spending a dollar in the state, adhering to the NAACP’s economic boycott of South Carolina that began with the new year. It had been only a week since 6,000 white supporters of the flag gathered-on the same steps to praise it as a symbol of Southern heritage, a reminder of their ancestors’ courage in battling to secede from the union. Organizers of Monday’s march desperately wanted to best that number and had predicted they might be able to attract 20,000, thanks to concerted organization by the NAACP and pleas from Southern pulpits.

In turn, this Syrian demand was made in response to the leaking in the Israeli press last week of the’American peace treaty draft, diplomats said. The draftwas interpreted in the Arab world as Syria making big concessions—including the normalization of relations with Israel and allowing an early warning ground station on Mount Hermon on the Golan Heights—without Syria winning a major concession from the Israelis. Another complicating factor for the Syrians was the fact that the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, has been long scheduled to see President Bill Clinton at the White House Thursday. The Syrians did not relish languishing in Shephardstown, W. Va., while Arafat, hardly a real friend of the Syrian leader, Hafez Assad, was feted at the White House, officials said. Barak added another negative factor for the Syrians by suggesting that he would meet with Arafat and Clinton in Washington, leaving the Syrians even further out in the cold.

ernments reacted to the postponement with degrees

of defiance. A Syrian official in Damascus was quoted by Reuters as saying: “The return of the Golan is not a matter for bargaining of negotiations.” In Jerusalem, Barak said: “It is impossible to threaten us. If it isn’t comfortable for the Syrians to come now, and they need some time, they should take some time.” Administration officials had predicted that the appearance of their draft peace treaty in Ha’aretz, a daily Israeli newspaper, last week would make their job more difficult. By all accounts, a telephone conversation between

Clinton and Assad at the end of last week went quite well. But after that, Albright and Dennis Ross, the main American negotiator, made a series of phone calls to Barak and Shara over the weekend and on Monday to try to keep the talks on schedule. The challenge facing the Clinton administration, according to a senior official, is to devise a formula that gives both sides assurances that their primary needs will be met in away that satisfies their domestic audiences. Giving such assurances was hard in advance of negotiations, the official said. For the Israeli government, the uppermost concern is the depth of security guarantees that Israel will receive in return for giving up the Golan Heights. Barak has insisted that Israel cannot agree on a border with Syria until it knows what security guarantees Damascus and Washington will provide. Successive Israeli prime ministers have told the Israeli people that Israel would not allow Syria to regain a position on the Sea of Galilee, a central demand of the Syrians. Assad, who runs his country with a dictatorial fist, has insisted to his people that Israel must give up the entire Golan Heights to the line that existed before the 1967 war.

Kudos

to administrators and Duke Student Government offi-

cers for keeping student services open around the clock during

finals week last semester. Now students must hope that the University extends the program for at least another semester. Administrators report that student demand v/as consistently high until 2 or 3 a.m., but tapered off severely after that. The University needs to have a better understanding of student behaviors and needs before it crops such a good idea. Considering that this was the first semester 24-hour services were offered, many potential customers probably didn’t even hear about it. Any decision on the program’s viability should not be based on a single semester’s worth of data. However, if future trials show this semester’s data was no fluke, it makes sense to stop many services—including the Great Hall and the Marketplace, the Wilson Recreation Center and bus operations—at the point they become fiscally unrealistic. The one exception to this should be Perkins and Lilly libraries. Students should always have access to quiet study space during this highly stressful time. As roommates go to sleep and small commons rooms fill, anxious exam-takers and paper-writers fret that they will be shut out of this campus’ meager study space. This concern is exacerbated later in exam week, when more and more students are celebrating the completion of their academic commitments. The University must provide enough tables, chairs, study carrels and light for its undergraduates. If administrators eventually decide to roll back student services, it is important for them to close everything at the same time. If different services close at various times, students will not take full advantage ofthe extra hours. For example, it does no good for the Wilßec to stay open until 3 a.m. if bus service stops at 2 a.m. All ofthese student services run on tight budgets, and the administrators responsible for initiating late-night hours should be commended. However, exam week is one time when cost recovery should not be emphasized—students must come first. If they acknowledge that academic performance is the primary goal for undergraduates, administrators should do everything within their power to maximize student comfort and performance. Administrators have struggled over the last few years to meet student demand for late-night hours for Dining Services and recreation facilities. It is very difficult to find employees willing to work in the wee hours of the morning. But if students can buy beer until 2 a.m., they should also have the opportunity to check out books, eat and have a quiet place to study.

There is a double standard in regard to racism Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s motto was not, “Black people have been forced to ride at the back of the bus, so now white people should have to.” He fought injustices by pointing out their inconsistencies with democratic society and by contest-

takes have been made throughout the history of many nations, but we cannot attempt to correct them by punishing people who exercise their civil rights. Louis Farrakhan, for example, regularly expresses “bigotry, racism and hatred” toward many groups; if he were punished for doing so, riots would ensue and the government would be accused of being racist. When John Rocker spouts such comments—which happen to be of a milder nature —he is sent to a psychiatrist and seen as a disgrace to baseball. I personally feel that comments made by both for referenced letter, see

the government and citizens of this country. He did not, however, solve problems by additional committing injustices.

Slavery was wrong. Lynchings were wrong. Denial of blacks’ right to vote was wrong. And regulating free speech is still wrong. Grave and inexcusable mis-

Farrakhan and Rocker are abominable, and it is my right to say so. I am disheartened that members of the Duke student body—one of the brightest groups of young people in the world—have not yet learned that two wrongs never make a right. By regulating free speech, we would hinder conversations (such as these found on the editorial page) that stem from racist comments and thus prevent us from realizing King’s dream of a truly colorblind society.

Revenge is no reason I was rather surprised to read Latasha Davidson’s letter saying that she “completely disagreed” with The Chronicle’s statement that “John Rocker, and everyone else, has a right to free speech.” I would assume that she has not thought about the implications of her statement. The answer to her question—who benefits from the universal truth of free speech—is “everyone.” My right to publicly express my opinions should not be based on the reception my opinions will receive from any group. Who decides what are “acceptable” opinions? If some

being a majority in this country, decided that they did not “accept” a Jewish or Muslim viewpoint, should that viewpoint be silenced? In the same vein, John Rocker’s nasty, vicious ideas—even if they are held only by a minority of Americans—should also be allowed. Not because we support them, but because true free speech is allowing an opinion that we violently disagree with to be shouted for all to hear. The mistakes made in our country’s past should not be held as the rule. True, black opinion was suppressed for the first 150 years of our for referenced letter,

country’s history, but that doesn’t mean that we solve the problem with revenge. Nor does it mean that suppression of free speech should be the norm. After all, if one wants to suppress all language that expresses (in Davidson’s words) “bigotry, racism and hatred,” then hardcore rap music, which uses extremely foul language and has some songs glorifying violence against the police, would have to be banned as well.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla It was only a matter of time. After providing the backbone for the sixth-ranked Blue Devils throughout the season, upperclassmen Chris Carrawell, Shane Battier and Nate James finally collectively struggled in the first half of Sunday’s game against Florida State as they accounted for only five first-half points.

the first half of

Sunday’s Duke-Florida State basketball game, the often inconsistent Seminoles played up to their tied-for-first-place ranking in the ACC. However, the game proved to be a tale of two halves, as the No. 6 Blue Devils erased a two-point halftime deficit to run away with an 85-54 victory. Duke (13-2, 4-0 in the ACC) now holds sole possession offirst place in the conference with three ofits eight conference road games already completed. Trailing 34-32 at halftime, the Blue Devils came out scorching in the second period, embarking on a 19-5 run and hitting 12 of their first 16 shots. From there, Duke never looked back, as it continued to control both ends of the floor and reached its largest lead of 31 points at the game’s conclusion.

Blue Devils roar back in 2nd half to silence upstart Tigers By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

Statistics don’t always tell the entire story in sports. Clemson 51 Sunday in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the women’s basketball team shot less than 40 percent in both halves, while it allowed Clemson (11-6, 23 in the ACC) to shoot a gaudy 50 percent in the opening frame. But the Blue Devils (16-1, 5-0) held on to a three-point halftime lead and cruised to a comfortable 60-51 win. Despite holding Clemson to its lowest point total of the season and continuing an undefeated start to the ACC season, Duke coach Gail Goestenkors was less than pleased with the Blue Devils’ performance. “We’re not happy at all with -our defense,” she

said. “I think 45 percent is the highest anyone shot against us all year. This was not a great effort overall defensively.” The Blue Devils were able to soundly beat the Lady Tigers due to a flurry to open the second half. Two minutes into the period, Clemson had narrowed the score to 31-29. But then the Blue Devils took over. Over the next 10 minutes Clemson did not make a single field goal, which allowed Duke to run the score to 51-32. “We came out in the second half very determined,” said Goestenkors. “I thought we did a much better job in the second half. We held them to 40 percent in the second half.” The run was catapulted by the play of Rochelle Parent, who came off the bench for the Blue Devils. Parent provided five points, two rebounds and a steal during Duke’s offensive explosion. Additionally, she was able to prevent the Lady Tigers from getting decent looks inside. Parent’s performance was especially important given that the Blue Devils did not get the usual level of productivity from the rest of their starters. Leading scorer Georgia Schweitzer

lame Commentary Pretty tough criticism for a defense that held the streaking Tigers to a mere 51 points. True, Clemson in the conferdoesn’t have the most prolific offense had unloaded 60 just an offense that but it was ence, days earlier Carolina six North on 12th-ranked points and followed that up with 71 points against No. 3 and

previously undefeated N.C. State. Both games resulted in Tiger upsets.

So why would the Blue Devils, who possess the nation’s longest winning streak at 15 games, possibly be upset about holding Clemson to 25 first-halfand 26 second-half points, when they had already given up more than 51 points in eight of their 16 games this season? According to the players and their coach, points don’t matter—Duke would have been content to hold the Tigers to anything less than 59 points as long as there was hustle on the defensive end. That, the Blue Devils say, was clearly missing “We’re not happy at all with our defense overall,” Goestenkors said. “I think 45 percent is probably the highest anybody has shot on us all year. They had players that shot the ball very, very well that we don’t consider shooters. It seems that they always shoot well against us.” Clemson’s 18-for-40 shooting performance for the evening was, in fact, the best any team has shot against the Blue Devils all season. The previous best shooting night against Duke came courtesy of Vanderbilt, who hit 44.2 percent of its field goal attempts in a 68-59 Blue Devil victory that kicked off the team’s current winning streak back on Nov. 24. If Duke had any problems on the defensive end Sunday, it was midway through the first half. In under

remaining in the period. The run began with a jumper by Tiger center Joanie Mungro that made the score 9-7 and sparked a 16-6 Clemson outburst. Clemson received production from nearly everyone during the streak as six players scored. The run included open three-pointers by Angie Cossey and Datishella- Byrd. When Mungro cruised in for a layup and her sixth point, she put Duke in its largest hole of the game. Yet, the fun ended there for Clemson. Duke’s defense gave up only four points over the final 8:40 of the first half, but still the effort wasn’t good enough for Goestenkors. “Right before we went out [for the second half], I told the team we had held Clemson to 50 percent in the first

half,” she said. ‘They all laughed because we take so much pride in our defense that it was very embarrassing for us to have a team shoot 50 percent on us.” Although the Duke defense allowed five players to hit at least half their shots in the first half, the Blue Devil defense carried the day down the stretch. When Peppi Browne, who leads the Blue Devils with 52 steals on the season, committed her fourth and fifth fouls within a seven-second span, her team responded by yielding only three points over the next five-and-a-half minutes. Duke’s 9-3 run pushed the lead to 17 and put the game away. Afterward, a reporter told Gail Goestenkors that most coaches would be happy if their team held their opponent to 51 points. With a smile and a shrug, Goestenkors calmly replied, “We’re not.”

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15

No way in Hale: Defense limits Seminoles star to 2 point HOOPS from page 3 “The freshmen really picked us up,” Carrawell said. “Carlos dominated inside and Jason really took over the game. Without those guys picking us up in the second half, we wouldn’t have made it to this point.” Boozer, who was the Blue Devils’ favorite target all afternoon, finished with 21 points on 10-of-15 shooting, while Williams paced Duke with 20 points, four steals and only two turnovers. Williams was not the only Blue Devil to value the ball, as Duke combined for only eight total turnovers as a team, a vast improvement from its early season performances. “Our halfcourt offense was executed real well,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “This was the second straight game where we’ve had less than double figures in turnovers. I think that’s indicative of Jason’s performance at the point.” Holding on to the ball led to more scoring opportunities and the Blue Devils capitalized by shooting 54.5 percent from the field on the day and a blistering 68.8 percent in the second half. While Williams was consistent throughout the game, his upperclass teammates Carrawell and

Battier, who both had sluggish first halves, responded early and often in the second period. Although in the first half they scored only five points between them, Battier ignited the Blue Devils’ early second-half run with three steals and two buckets, while Carrawell scored six of his 16 points and continued to shut down the Seminoles’ leading scorer, senior swingman Ron Hale, in the process. Hale, who came into the contest averaging 18.2 points per game, was held to only two points on l-of-7 shooting by the Duke senior. Hale had scored 37 points only three games earlier against Wake Forest. “I felt like he didn’t get good looks at the basket and he didn’treally get to touch the ball,” Carrawell said. “If you don’t touch the ball, you can’t score.”

Carrawell’s stifling defense on Hale was only a microcosm of a solid overall defensive effort by the Blue Devils, which surrendered only 20 second-half points on 29 percent shooting, snagged fifteen steals and blocked six shots. “Our defense was really the story of the game,” Krzyzewski said. “They just didn’t get many open looks in the second half, and we turned those into points. “We played really well in the second half, I mean really well. I’ve coached this team for 15 games, and that’s as well as we’ve played defensively.” Despite the Blue Devils’ strong defensive effort throughout the game, the outcome was in doubt until the second half, as Duke trailed FSU 34-32 at halftime. With the score tied at 12 points apiece, Boozer, who registered 13 first-half points, helped the Blue Devils engineer a 103 run to distance themselves from the Seminoles. This lead was short-lived, however, as the Seminoles responded with a run of their own, outscoring Duke 15-5 over a six-minute period to give the home team a 30-27 lead with just over 2:30 remaining in the half. The run featured a balanced scoring attack, as the ’Noles were paced by forward Damous Anderson and guard Delvon Arrington, who had 10 and nine first half points, respectively. From there, the two teams battled to a defensive stalemate to end the half, which accounted for FSU’s two-point margin at the intermission. But the Blue Devils made a resounding statement to win the game in the second period, as they knew that a victory would be necessary to solidify sole possession of first place in the ACC. “There was a sense of urgency,” Krzyzewski said. “We knew that we were playing a team that was good and confident, and for us to play well defensively in that type of situation makes me feel good.” Note: Williams was named ACC rookie of the week yesterday for his performances against Florida State and Georgia Tech.

While much of Carrawell’s poor shooting can be attributed to the large amount of energy he expended guarding Seminole standout Ron Hale, Battier and James were simply not getting good looks at the basket as the two juniors took only four shots between them in the first stanza.

In a sense, the game proved to be a coming-out party for the freshman roommates as they carried the team much like Battier, Carrawell and James have done throughout the season.

I will touch on them now and then because I want to inform you about the city where you live, although I know some students are definitely involved, like members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity working with Habitat for Humanity.

pursuit of happiness. Western culture has produced great thinkers like Aristotle and John Locke—the former the father oflogic, the latter the defender of individual rights instrumental in the founding of the

United States. Western culture has also produced great thinkers such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and many others. In order to live as rational and productive individuals in pursuit of their own happiness, students must learn from the cultural heritage that made the advanced world we live in possible, not cultures based on ideas that would have made our world unthinkable. No benefit can be derived from extensive study of one of the hundreds of cultures dominated by mysticism, collectivism, self-sacrifice and self-mutilation. It is not racist to judge cultures because ideas are chosen, not genetically determined by race. Cultures that are inferior are the result of irrational human choices, and, to some extent, geographical factors. Being of a particular skin color does not make one naturally inclined to any belief system. An individual’s free will allows him to judge the religion, traditions and beliefs accepted by those around him and make his own decisions. Those who assume the beliefs of individuals based on race are themselves committing an act ofracism. Instead of reacting angrily when they have their cultural beliefs attacked, students who have accepted the beliefs handed down to them should rationally evaluate the ideas they have come to accept. The truth is not relative, and neither are cultures. Alex Epstein is a Trinity sophomore and publisher of The Duke Review.

Tm just happy if I can just look at one face that doesn’t look like mine and see that they’re pondering the same questions.” Another major issue stressed by the student planning committee that organized the events was the importance of campus diversity. The cultural extravaganza for instance, displayed the talents of student organizations from a variety of ethnic backgrounds; Diya, Mi Gente and Dance Black were featured before the packed audience in Von Canon. Rudy Spaulding, a Trinity senior and planning committee member, said the performance symbolized the unity of diverse individuals that King envisioned. “Individual groups stress their own cultures [within a single unifying eventl,” he said. “It helps us all.” Monday morning’s Yam Jam also reflected the idea of diverse groups working together for a single goal, as almost 100 volunteers bagged 47,000 pounds of donated yams for distribution to 37 local food banks. “[Kingl was trying to bring our country together as a community,” said Laura Hooper, a Trinity junior. “The best way to come together and meet new people... who are different from you is when you’re working on a service project together.” The organizers agreed that the day was a success,

although more participants would have been welcome. Not quite 100 people attended the Yam Jam, compared to last year’s 275. While some explained the difference by the incentive of eight hours free from basketball tenting offered to volunteers last year, a few participants thought.that more people, should have attended. “We have 12,000 people here with the graduates, and we had at most 120 people here,” said Caleb Schultz, a Trinity senior. “That’s 1 percent of our student body.” Most remained optimistic about getting people involved. “Given the cold, I was pleased,” said Kameron Matthews, a Trinity senior and the member of the committee responsible for the speakout. “But I will always like more participants.... The eternal question [is] how to get the people who really need to hear the message [to attend].”

Lewis: King ‘gave us hope in a time of hopelessness’

REP. JOHN LEWIS, D-Ga., long known as a dynamic public speaker, delivered the keynote address at Sunday’s commemorative service in the Chapel.

work of King. “Dr. King produced light in dark places.... He gave us hope in a time of hopelessness.” Lewis said. Lewis asserted that “Martin Luther King, more than any other man in the 20th century, had the power to bring more people together to do good.” He reminded the audience how difficult it had been to register black citizens to vote, urging everyone not to forget these troubles and become immune to current racial issues. Lewis reasserted King’s ideals as he said, “Don’t give up, don’t give in, don’t give out, and don’t get lost in a sea of despair. Keep the faith.” Nearing the end of his speech, Lewis explained that the 1968 assassination ofKing did not kill his dream of peace. “He taught us to be willing to struggle for what is right, what is fair,, what is just,” Lewis said. Prior to receiving a standing ovation, he concluded, “We’re going to build the beloved community and walk with the wind and let the spirit of Martin Luther

King Jr. be our leader forevermore.” History professor Charles Payne gave a final reflection to Lewis’ speech by challenging the audience to realize that King’s ideals have not yet been fully at-

- LEWIS from page 1 one American community, Lewis said, “His message was love, his weapon was truth, and his method was nonviolence.” Lewis said the world is a better place because of these aspects of the life and

tained and that continued action is needed. Reading a passage from a speech that Lewis gave at the 1963 March on Washington, Payne stressed that the civil rights movement’s quest for economic justice for black Americans remains unresolved. Sunday’s annual commemorative ceremony began with traditional African elements of percussion and a welcome by several dignitaries, including President Nan Keohane and Durham mayor Nick Tennyson. Describing King’s life as “lyrical, epochal and tragic”, Keohane said race hatred still has the power to kill and encouraged the audience to “take up the shield of love” in the fight against racism. At a reception following Lewis’ passionate words, one of the coordinators of the King weekend, Trinity junior NiiAmar Amamoo said, ‘This was more of a personal, intimate speech. I think it comes with the territory. It comes with the speaker.” Jaime Levy contributed to this story.
