Carolina’s Blues Coach K fears Duke will take struggling UNC too lightly By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

KELLI SHERAN/THE CHRONICLE

SHANE BATTIER will be matched up against North Carolina’s Kris Lang (right) again tonight when the Blue Devils travel to the Dean Smith Center.

Mike Krzyzewski says a potential trap awaits his young players tonight. And, no, he didn’t mean the full-court press that North Carolina (13-8,4-3 in the ACC) at times will use to force turnovers from freshman point guard Jason Williams by trapping him in the backcourt. The trap the Blue Devil coach was referring to at Tuesday’s press conference was the one that has been laid by sportswriters, color commentators and the basketball public in general. The trap is no secret, and it goes something like this; the unranked Tar Heels are mediocre, they’ve lost eight games, they once lost four in a row including two at the Dean Smith Center and they’re definitely not talented enough to stop the third-ranked Blue Devils and their 16-game winning streak. And that’s a trap that Krzyzewski insists Duke (16-2, 7-0) will not fall into when it travels to Chapel Hill tonight at 9 p.m. for the 205th chapter in the most storied rivalry in college basketball. “To say that Carolina is not good or that they can’t beat anybody, I would not respect [someone’s knowledge of the game] if I read that,” Krzyzewski said.“Because it’s obvious that they can win and that they are good. It’s just like if we were to lose our next four games—we’d still be pretty g00d..., and that’s basically Carolina. Carolina has as much or more talent than anybody in our league. “With their first six players, they can compete against anybody or beat anybody in our league. And they certainly can beat us, so we’re not going to fall into that trap.” Duke’s upperclassmen are even more concerned about tonight’s game being the first

Smith Center Duke-UNC contest for half of the Blue Devils’ six-man rotation, not to mention their first trip to the hostile Smith Center. Shane Battier remembers his first visit to Chapel Hill well. In fact, it’s probably a game he’ll never forget. The Blue Devils entered the highly anticipated matchup as the top-ranked team in the nation, but Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter embarrassed the No. 1 team and snapped its 11-game winning streak with a lopsided 24-point victory. Battier, who admitted he and the other freshmen felt like deer caught in headlights, has tried to share his experience with this year’s freshmen—especially Williams, Mike Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer. “It was almost like a carnival because the Dean Dome is a pretty big place,” Battier said. “It was packed, it was rocking and it was a little intimidating.

With an $8.5 million gift earmarked for a handful of University initiatives, the Duke Endowment added to its ever-growing contribution to The Campaign for Duke. The campaign has now raised $l.l billion along the way to its $1.5 billion goal. The largest part of the Duke Endowment’s package—s4 million—will raise the Benjamin N. Duke Scholarship award to full tuition from its current level of 75 percent. The Angier B. Duke Scholarship program’s coffers will grow by $2.5 million; $500,000 will sponsor graduate and professional student financial aid; $1 million will go into a challenge grant fund that allows donors to establish a named scholarship for two-thirds of the regular price. The last half-million will help offset .the campaign’s mounting operational costs. “The scholarships represent an ongoing interest ofthe Duke Endowment to make the Duke education more affordable to students,” said David Roberson, director of communications for the endowment, which is financially separate from the University. The B.N. Duke program is used to attract 10 of the Carolinas’ finest scholars to Duke every year. All students are eligible for the A.B. Duke grant. See DUKE ENDOWMENT on page 6

Fed raises interest rates to curb inflation By MARTIN CRUTSINGER Associated Press

WASHINGTON

The Federal Reserve, still seek-

ing to slow the supercharged US. economy, raised bor-

rowing costs for millions of Americans for a fourth time since June by pushing a key interest rate up a quarter point to 5.75 percent Wednesday. The Fed action to boost its federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other, was quickly followed by announcements from major banks around the country that they were raising their prime lending rate a similar quarter point to 8.75 percent, the highest level for this benchmark consumer and business rate since late 1995. Wall Street, which had been worried that the central bank might feel the need to raise rates by a halfpoint, turned in a mixed performance Wednesday

with the Dow Jones industrial average down 38.85 points at 11,003.20. Analysts said while the Fed stopped with just a quarter-point increase, investors were clearly worried by the tone of the Fed announcement, which indicated further increases were in store, “This was a much more hawkish statement from the Fed today than any ofthe statements that accompanied its three rate hikes last year” said David Jones, chief economist at Aubrey G. Lanston & Co. in New York. Many economists predicted the Fed would raise rates again at the next meeting of its Federal Open Market Committee on March 21 and again at the May 16 meeting. Some analysts said the unrelenting strength of the economy could prompt a seventh quarter-point move at the June 28 meeting.

Officials release Ethicist seeks worid research rules new bonfire rules

Ruth Macklin argues that researchers abroad must properly inform subjects By ALEX SUNDSTROM The Chronicle

The Durham fire marshall and University administrators negotiated a 10-foot perimeter and a three-bench height limit for this year’s bonfires.

The promise of medical research on a global scale must be tempered with universally applied medical research codes, bioethicist Ruth Macklin said in a Wednesday evening talk at the Sanford Institute. Establishing such codes can be very difficult, said Macklin, chair of the Ethical Review Committee of the United Nations Programme on AIDS and professor of bioethics at the Albert Einstein College of

Medicine. Macklin said efforts to regulate global research are often perceived as “ethical imperialism”—the imposition of Western values on cultures that do not share them. But universal ethical codes are still necessary, she said. “Striving for universality in the conduct of research should not be viewed as a form of Western imperialism, but rather as an attempt by the international research community to respect the rights and promote the welfare of all research subjects,” she said. Macklin justified the need for codes of conduct with examples of human rights violations in medical research in other countries. Macklin described one controversial study performed in Thailand and the Cote d’lvoire where some HIV-positive mothers were given a placebo even though an effective drug had already been found., In the United States, Macklin said, these practices would never be allowed. “You can’t make people worse off by putting them in research.” A universal code of conduct could also address the issue of participant consent, Macklin said. United States law and human rights agreements such as the Declaration of Helsinki require that researchers obtain informed consent—subjects must understand the selection process for a study and agree to

With the men’s basketball team expected to smoke the Tar Heels tonight, University officials are preparing for students to light up the campus. The bonfire policy was changed slightly to ensure even greater safety for students. Still, administrators hope to repeat last year’s formula, which seemed to soothe friction between tradition-minded students and danger-wary officials. Last year’s policy introduced a pre-set, fire marshall-approved location for the post-game celebrations. This year, the Main West Campus Quadrangle location remains the same, but students will not be able to use gasoline or fire accelerants, build a structure higher than three benches or stand within 10 feet of the fire. The policy was announced in a Wednesday advertisement in The Chronicle and in an e-mail to resident advisers and area coordinators. “It doesn’t seem like the policy changes require students to act much differently than they did last year,” said Duke Student Government President Lisa Zeidner, who worked with administrators to finalize the policy. Durham City Fire Marshall Kenneth Crews said violations could end the tradition altogether. “If any of the conditions are violated, we will revoke the permit,” he said. “There are no new surprises. Everyone... should pretty much be aware of the guidelines of this bonfire.” The 10-foot requirement—which Duke officials will See

participate in it. But cultural norms make it difficult to ensure that this consent occurs in some countries, Macklin said.

Instead, researchers abroad often prefer local oversight, insisting that American standards of informed consent constitute ethical imperialism. This oversight can be inadequate, Macklin warned. ‘The danger of a reliance solely on local assessment in societies where there is no tradition of individual rights is that the local assessment may reject the notion that the individuals have rights,” she said. Informed consent can be a foreign concept in cultures where medical decisions do not rest with the

For example, in rural areas of Mexico, a woman’s husband or mother-in-law can deny her access to a doctor or birth control. A poll in Japan showed that 67 percent of doctors would inform patients in the early stages of cancer that they had that disease, but only 16 percent would tell patients with advanced forms of cancer. Macklin advocated a code of conduct that would discourage such practices while still respecting cultural differences. “Respect for persons requires that in any country or culture, doctors should discuss with patients whether they want to receive information and make decisions about their medical care, or if they want the physician to discuss those matters only with the family,” she said.

Stick to the schedule

The

prospect of weekend classes is, admittedly, a bit unnerving. Fortunately, in many cases, they can be avoided. For Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes—which only missed one time period—faculty will likely be able to restructure their syllabi to avoid the weekend session. Material can be rearranged or condensed into the standand Monday through Friday schedule. However, it seems inconceivable that courses that missed three class sessions can effectively make up all the missed material, virtually ensuring that almost all students will end up in classes on Saturdays and Sundays. Already, some professors are trying to find ways around the weekend schedule, setting up times outside the planned schedule for make-up classes. But this kind of ad hoc scheduling will only create more potential conflicts with students’ activities and other classes. The schedule designed by the deans is not perfect (some classes will meet five times in seven days), but professors should stick to it as closely as possible for the sake of the students. Students, too, should recognize the importance of the make-up classes and attend as normal. Some students will inevitably have conflicts with the weekend schedule, and professors should work to ensure undergraduates are not penalized for plans made before the snowstorm. Additionally, buses and other academic services must be run on a regular weekday schedule.

Fight false alarms

Last

month’s fire at Seton Hall University and yesterday’s blaze at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have focused national attention of the problem of ensuring fire safety in college dormitories. At Duke, there have been few problems, aside from the occasional false alarm. A very small minority of the dorms here have sprinklers, but they will be installed on Main West Campus as part of the upcoming renovations. While the dorms are being torn apart anyway, it only makes sense to add the sprinklers. False alarms—and the sense of complacency they create in students—are much more of a problem than a lack of sprinklers at Duke. At Seton Hall, many students assumed that the fatal blaze was nothing more than one false alarm. In areas where they have been frequent false alarms, the University should consider installing triggers that release ink onto the hands of anyone who sets off the alarm. If the number of false alarms is minimized, students will treat each and every alarm as a potential fire, reducing the risk that a such a terrible incident will ever happen at the University or other schools that take similar measures

Media’s portrayal of Asian Americans has improved As glad as I am to see Hua Wang’s column increase awareness of issues that can be difficult for Asian Americans, I don’t think the correct mindframe is to dwell on the stereotypes the media employs but to focus on the vast improvements made in the past couple of decades. In order to point out racial animosity, Wang draws from the movie Lady and the Tramp. Not only is using the scene with Siamese cats as an example of racial injustice a questionable attempt, but the movie was released in 1955. In the past 35 years, has society certainly improved by leaps and bounds in the terms of racial equality. Fast forward to 1999, when Lucy . Liu is cast Http:

Freshman Kathryn VanWert wrote in Monday’s Chronicle that she is “shocked by and ashamed of [Pi Beta Phil’s presence on campus” because their bid night was rife with inebriation and callous revelry. What irritates me most about her letter is that she singles Pi Beta Phi out of the Panhellenic Association. As a freshman, she obviously has not yet witnessed the http:

greek life and drinking—go hand in hand. College students get drunk everywhere, and it’s not just at Duke, and it’s certainly not just within Pi Phi. organizations Greek always seem to be the scapegoat for out-of-control drunken activities, but they are not always to blame. It is also popular to point a finger at the administration, but, again, stringent rules and bans on keg parties do not seem to be the answer either. for referenced letter, see

Students have a choice as to whether they are going to rush, pledge or drink, and I can assure you that those Pi Phi pledges were not “expected to drink until they vomitmay have ed.” They overindulged, but it was their choice.

my I did. I figured I might be a schoolteacher. My senior year, I was lucky enough to have an adviser —someone who directed my honors thesis on [William] Faulkner—who insisted I apply to graduate school. I had no intention to go to grad school, but he saw me in the afternoon one day and said, “Victor, I wrote you a recommendation

NB: When you became an English professor, were you more motivated by the academics of publication and scholarly research, or was it more the teaching aspect?

VS: I think most of us develop an affinity for literature to start with. We discover that we have a certain knack for understanding literature.... Then when it comes to scholarship and publication, we extend that interest onto the printed page, and try to engage our academic peers with the same interest. The big change in my discipline is, well, when I began, 40 years ago, the interest was primarily in literature. We had away of assessing the excellence of literature.... We made an effort to discover and propagate what we thought was the best literature. As part of the upheaval of the late ’6os, the profession shifted substantially toward the ideological use ofliterature. Does it propagate the right vision of society? This is what mattered most. That would make a different set of standards for what literature is important. I think the struggle is still going on between those who see literature as a value in its own right and those who apparently think of literature as an asset—or a detriment—in creating a better society. NB: Would you say that Duke’s department shifted toward the ideological when Stanley Fish arrived?

VS: Yes, I think that was one of Fish’s functions. But nothing remains stable, and Fish himself has mutated, to a degree, in his view ofliterature. In our department, there has always been a mix of attitude, a spectrum. Some people have a strong, ideological fixation, others [havel an indifference toward ideology, more of an interest in literature as its own value. I do oppose the excesses of the ideological approach. I think it reaches absurd proportions sometimes. I’m interested in what interests students in the classroom. I find that during their four years, students really do want to understand the classical figures. They want an understanding ofMoby Dick, or Faulkner or T.S. Eliot. Before they get out of here, they’d like a chance to have a real grasp of those works. I find that that remains true, whatever the faculty is interested in, [these great figuresl are what the students are interested in. That may not be all the students are interested in, but that’s one of the things they want before they get out ofhere—an understanding of the famous books, as well as some of the new, emerging figures from a wide variety of backgrounds....

7-2) went on a 13-1 run (which included seven by Browne) late in the second halfto seal a 79-61 victory over the Terps. Despite the mismatch on paper, Duke coach Gail Goestenkors sees Maryland as a dangerous opponent. “They’re a young team,” Goestenkors said. ‘They’re much better than the first time we played them. “Right now, they’re really good defensively. They’re so athletic, so we have to take care of the ball. They had 16 steals on us last time, and we had 20 turnovers. The No. 1 thing for us is to take care of the basketball and show some poise.” The loss of Browne, who is listed as questionable for tonight’s game, creates a gaping hole in the Duke lineup. Even though she was the No. 2 scorer on the team, Browne made a bigger impact on the boards and on the

defensive end of the court. The rebounding slack should be picked up primarily by Rochelle Parent, but the guards will also have to rebound more. “Our guards have to rebound better for us,” Goestenkors said. “They’ve been watching Ro and Peppi and Lauren [Rice] rebound. Ro’s going to get a few more rebounds, but Ro can’t make up

would certainly help.” The likely loss of Browne will also force Duke to alter its defensive strategy. The Blue Devils, who like to trap, will probably play more zone defenses to keep Parent from getting into foul trouble. This is a concern for Duke since so much of its offense is predicated on getting steals and converting them into easy

layups, something they didn’t do well in their first matchup with Maryland. In their early-January matchup, Duke only forced nine Terrapin turnovers and had just a four-point lead at halftime. Browne’s injury does give Duke more chances to play their reserves. Post players Janee Hayes and Olga Gvozdenovic may pick up most of the additional opportunities to play. After tonight, Duke will have eight days off before it faces its next opponent, GeorgiaTech.

tainly difficult to coach.”

Franks addressed many of Duke’s immediate needs by inking three quarterbacks and three wide receivers. The quarterbacks include New Jersey natives Darryl Scott and Chris Wispelwey, along with Californian Adam Smith. “All three of them are going to need work,” Franks said. “They’ll need to learn the offense, certainly the mechanics of some of the things we’re going to ask them to do. But they have the thing I don’t believe we can coach—how the ball comes out of their hand. They have the qualities necessary to help us run this offense.” Smith was offered a scholarship with the Blue Devils before starting a single high school game, and the gamble may have payed off. As a senior, Smith was California’s seventh-ranked passer. While Wispelwey and Smith are standard dropback passers, Scott is considered to be a strong runner. At Eastern High School in Voorhees, N.J., Scott ran a Devils are faster. wishbone offense.

With just five returning receivers, all three receiving recruits may be expected to start playing immediately. An AP All-Starter and younger brother ofbasketball star Shane Battier, Jeremy Battier is one of Duke’s top overall signees. He and Love—North Carolina’s fourthbest prospect according to SuperPrep—both have an opportunity to walk on with the basketball team. Franks said nothing was guaranteed and that the situation would be discussed next fall. The class also boasts the first time Franks, a former University of Florida assistant, has tapped into the deep talent pool of his former state. Although Franks signed one Floridian last year, he inked three more this season. Tm very pleased to sign three guys, especially considering the quality of the three guys we signed,” Franks said. The Florida trio is highlighted by defensive back Johnnie Mullins and offensive lineman Patrick Worsham. Mullins ran a 4.3 40-yard dash and is the state’s reigning 100-meter champion. Worsham, meanPRATIK PATEL/THE CHRONICLE while, is a 6-foot-5, 287 pound lineman who had firm CARL FRANKS recruited 24 new players, including three from the offers from Florida State, Alabama, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech. state of Florida, to join Duke next season.

Carl Franks knows he has a long way to go to turn around the football program, but on national signing day yesterday, the coach expressed optimism that he’s on the right track. The Blue Devils signed 24 high school players from 14 different states yesterday, Duke’s largest signing class since 1996. The recruiting haul was balanced, attracting 11 offensive and 11 defensive players, along with a punter and a versatile player designated as an athlete. “We believe we signed another very solid class,” said Franks, who enters his second year at the helm. “I’m very excited about these 24 young men that decided to be Blue Devils.... I think these guys are the right fit for Duke University and they’re going to help us get to the level where we need to be.” On the whole, Franks was looking for one key ingredient—speed.

Jeff was five years Jason’s senior, but the games were still pretty intense. Last year, their sibling rivalry was supposed to advance another step as Jason entered the rivalry. But Capel missed the first Duke-UNC game with mononucleosis, and in his final two meetings with the Blue Devils, Capel was hindered by recurring back problems. Tonight, he finally gets his chance. “I think it’s even more special for me this year because in the back of my SWEET

mind, I know I really haven’t gotten the chance to play against them,” he said. “The times I did play last year I was hurt.” The Duke-Carolina matchup means a lot of things to a lot of people, but when trying to get the perfect Duke-Carolina story, the media turns to Capel, the man who allegedly tried to split up a family with his choice of college. “I get very tired of it,” he said. “I know it makes a great story, brother and brother, Carolina and Duke, but the fact is my brother’s not there any more. There’s no ragging about it. We’re brothers, we love each other, there is no criticism or anything like that,”

Her 72 STORRS, Conn. Tenn. team overmatched in the UConn 71 first half, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt was sure of one thing. “Sameka [Randall] had to get more involved in the offense,” she said. Did she ever. Randall hit a jump shot with four seconds left to lift the fourth-ranked Lady Vols (17-3) past top-ranked Connecticut 72-71 last night, handing the Huskies their first loss. Randall scored six points over the final two minutes in the powerhouses’ second battle this year. The Lady Vols avenged a 74-67 loss to Connecticut (191) in Knoxville on Jan. 8. The series is even at 5-5. Double-teamed down the stretch, Randall split two defenders and fired up the game-winner. “I got a good look. I took the shot. I didn’t think twice, I just went with my instinct,” said Randall, who scored 13 of her 17 points in the second half. The Huskies had one more chance as Svetlana Abrosimova took the inbounds pass and got the ball to Tamika Williams. Snow, Guarded by Michelle Williams’ shot bounced off the bottom ofthe rim. “[Williams] bumped into me,” Snow said. “I saw it go up and I thought, ‘I hope not.”’ Williams said the play was designed for Abrosimova to drive to the basket,

but she drew two defenders as she neared the lane and passed to Williams. “It just happen to come to me,” Williams said. “1 just have to take it

up stronger.” There was little room for error in Gampel Pavilion yesterday. “Every time we made a mistake, they made us pay for it,” Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. “It was fitting [that] it came down to the last shot.” The Lady Vols trailed by as much as 13 in the first half.

Summitt said. Catchings had 11 of her 19 points in the second half, including two free throws midway through the half that gave the Lady Vols their largest lead at 63-54.

Williams then went to work on the baseline, scoring nine of the Huskies’ next 12 points as Connecticut took a 6665 lead with 3:46 remaining. Randall finished with 17 points and Catchings had 13 rebounds. Williams led the Huskies with 19 points and Sue Bird had 15 points and eight assists. With both teams beating each other on the road, Williams’ said in this rivalry “home court advantage ceases to exist. It was a war out there.”

THE NO

Lang has had a frustrating injury-riddled season and Haywood’s year has been up-and-down, but UNC has received a recent boost to its frontline. Walk-on reserve Julius Peppers has taken a lot of the load off of Lang, and his bruising style could create problems

for Duke inside.

The backcourt will involve two of the most anticipated individual matchups of the game. Forte will have his most difficult task of the season—trying to score on Carrawell. Williams must similarly contend with Cota. Whichever freshman deals best with his paired senior will give his team a huge advantage. Well, these two teams have a similar bench in one respect: they’re not deep. Both teams rely on a sixman rotation, with UNC incorporating Peppers and Duke utilizing Mike Dunleavy. While Peppers spent the first half the season playing football, Dunleavy has matured faster than any Duke freshman.

This will be the most hostile environment the Blue Devils’ trio of freshmen have faced yet. If they can weather the storm and adapt to the noisy Smith Center, Duke has more weapons. But UNC desperately needs this win and if the freshmen are rattled like they were two years ago, anything is possible.

After a miserable stretch in which North Carolina dropped four straight games, including three in the conference, Guthridge’s team has bounced back. Amidst rumors that their coach’s job was in danger, the Tar Heels rallied to beat Maryland and then followed it with a road win over Georgia Tech. UNO’s winning ways end tonight, though, as Duke stays perfect in the ACC with its eighth win, 77-68. Compiled by Brody Greenwald —
