University West parking crunch pops up again pushes for disclosure By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

Despite progress, Students Against Sweatshops says not enough companies that make Duke apparel have released their factories’ locations. By KATHERINE STROUP The Chronicle About one year ago, a group of

student protesters filed into the Allen Building, appropriated the phone lines, unfurled their sleeping bags and began a 31-hour sit-in that would set the standard for anti-sweatshop activism on college campuses. Now that 12 months and two deadlines have passed, most of the companies that make University apparel have honored their Duke contracts and provided lists of factory addresses. But Students Against Sweatshops members insist that,after a full year, Duke should have a full list—as was agreed upon during the sit-in negotiations. “The excuses we’re hearing hinge on them not having enough time, but we’ve basically given them a full year” said Trinity sophomore Snehal Patel, an SAS member. See SWEATSHOPS on page

An attempt to solve one of the University’s lingering problems will soon exacerbate another. When workers begin constructing a new quadrangle on West Campus in May, the building site, equipment and delivery routes will permanently block off between 350 and 450 undergraduate parking spaces in the Ocean parking lot. Trinity junior Matt Martin wondered how much worse the parking situation could get. “It’s already pretty tough to find spots, especially during certain hours...” he said, adding that he is happy that he is not living on campus next semester. “Walking is the real pain.” Starting this summer, upperclass students living on West Campus will probably park in the perimeter lots along Towerview and Wannamaker drives, said Executive Vice President Tailman Trask. “I see enhanced security, controlled lots and shuttles,” he said. Administrators are now working with parking consultant Barbara Chance to find spaces for the displaced employees. Chance said she will release her preliminary findings in the next few weeks. Pratt junior Daniel Neill said he would be- grudgingly satisfied with satellite parking as long as there were enough spaces for each person. “It seems difficult enough as it is to find parking without them taking away 400 spots,” he said. But Chance, who has worked on parking for several other universities, See

Weather policy undergoes scrutiny By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

Despite a Feb. 1 announcement that biweekly employees can use sick days in addition to vacation days to make up for work missed during last month’s snow, many employees remain frustrated by the severe weather policy. “I have a problem with them saying classes are canceled and everything and me having to take my vacation or sick leave...,” said Rene James, a staff assistant in the Department of Aerospace Studies, adding that employees should be paid when dangerous weather prevents them from coming to work. “If they don’t expect students to walk over here for classes, how do they expect me to drive?” Executive Vice President Tailman Trask is forming a committee to evaluate the policy, created in 1996 after Hurricane Fran. “Now that we’ve been through it with a couple of hurricanes and a couple of snowstorms, we’ll see if it needs to be tweaked,” Trask said. “I think it does.”

Independents help tighten S.C. primary By DAN FREEDMAN and STEWART POWELL Hearst Newspapers

GREENWOOD, S.C. Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., entered the home stretch of their increasingly bitter battle for South Carolina’s nominating delegates Monday with polls pointing to a close vote in Saturday’s primary. The race put the spotlight on independent voters and Democrats who can vote in the Republican primary. “At this point, I think it will be very close,” said Harvey Bell, Republican co-chair of Saluda County. The prospect ofindependent and Democratic voters participating “doesn’t sit well with me,” said Bell. “I hope it doesn’t happen,” Bell’s prediction of a close contest was borne out by late polls. In a Los Angeles Times poll of likely voters in South Carolina released Monday, Bush had 42 per-

cent and McCain had 40 percent, a dead heat. A Newsweek poll released over the weekend had Bush leading McCain 43 percent to 40 percent in the state. A poll by Rasmussen Associates showed the importance of independent and Democratic voters in the Republican primary here. Among South Carolina Republicans, Bush leads by 19 percentage points, according to the poll. However, among independents and Democrats, McCain leads by a whopping 74 percent to 18 percent margin. By that calculus, a larger-than-average turnout among independents and Democrats could throw the primary to McCain. Bush sought to capitalize on his experience as a two-term governor ofTexas, telling an admiring crowd that McCain had “served his country well” as a Navy flier and POW in Vietnam.

Facilities Management reflects on snow removal By BILL HATFIELD The Chronicle

The snow from the unexpected blizgone, but it has left a lasting impact on the University’s wallet. Joe Jackson, assistant director of Facilities Management, said the snow removal process has cost the University more than $BO,OOO. “The cost [reflects] that... this [storm] was going to be something that we couldn’t anticipate,” said Jackson, who oversees the grounds and sanitation departments. A relatively small portion of the University grounds budget is dedicated to cleaning up after blizzards. “We have a $15,000 provision for snowfall,” said Regis Koslofsky, director of facilities administration in Facilities Management. If there is no snow over the course of the winter, the money is usually put towards landscaping projects, as has been the case over the past three to four years, he said. The grounds department keeps a stock supply of salt and sand, and Duke

is also on the list of organizations that receive emergency shipments. Jackson said that sand is used on surfaces that are covered with slick ice or freezing rain. Salt is applied to surfaces when the temperature is still below freezing, but only when the temperature is expected to rise above freezing so the ice will be able to melt. On walkways and other areas that witness heavy traffic, Duke uses a commercially available chemical called “ice melt.” For larger surfaces, the University has one plow. In addition, it used every piece of grounds equipment that can be attached to a snow removal apparatus. Also, Jackson laughed, “We used lots of shovels.” In the event that severe weather is predicted, many personnel are on call, and first-line employees are often called in before the weather turns bad. Facilities Management also has a list of preferred contractors that are used on a supplementary basis. Once snow comes, the contractors are notified by phone, and go to See SNOW on page 7 �

sate for time in late Januaiy when they couldn’t come in to work. Previously, employees could use vacation days or work extra hours to make up for lost pay. “We never really imagined we’d be closed four days,”Trask said. “It seemed unfair to push all that burden on employee vacations, so we loosened it up If union leaders agree to the exception, unionized employees will be allowed to use both sick and vacation days, too. Michael Gibson, general manager of Local 77—which represents Dining Services and housekeeping staff—said the union will discuss the potential change at its upcoming meetings. David Washington, a Dining Services employee and member of Local 77, said the use of sick days would alleviate his situation: He missed one day of work, has no vacation days available and cannot make up the time. He noted that many of his coworkers are in similar situations, especially because they depended on University vans to bring them to campus during the winter weather. “There are some people they really don’t want to pick up or take home at night [because they live far awayl,” Washington said. “So they’re just missing days, not by choice.” Another Dining Services employee, Tyrone Richardson, noted that even though the vans did pick him up, they were running behind because of the dangerous roads, “It’s not fair to the employees,” Richardson said. “Sometimes we got to work two or three hours late... and we won’t get paid for it.” As of now, recently hired employees cannot use either vacation or sick days to compensate, although Trask said Human Resources is working to address the problem. Connie Poole, for example, justbecame a permanent Dining Services employee and therefore has to wait 90 days before she is allowed to use any of her leave days. She added that she does not have time to make up the two days she missed. Other employees were less upset about having to make up the time. Lynda Harrison, an administrative assistant in the Department of Religion, said she had both sick and vacation days to spare. “When I was working for a business —out in the real world—we weren’t given a choice,” she said. “If we were out, we didn’t get paid, and that was it.... I hate the fact that we have to make it up, but I understand that we should,” ”

Duke threatens its delinquent licensees SWEATSHOPS from page

Ofthe 409 companies that make Duke clothing, 72 percent—or about 300—have submitted contact information to the Collegiate Licensing Company, which is coordinating information-gathering for many schools that demand full disclosure. “In terms of what we’ve agreed to, I think we’re almost there,” said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. ‘To suggest that we have not held up our part of the bargain is just not really appropriate.” Starting Monday, Duke began sending certified letters to the remaining companies, giving them 15 days to come into compliance. Their licensing contracts initially called for address lists by Jan. 1, but that deadline was extended to Jan. 31. “lf they still don’t get us the information, then we’ll begin sending out letters of termination,” said Jim Wilkerson, director of University licensing. As per the sit-in agreement, Duke re-negotiated all its contracts in the past year so companies would provide addresses of all factories making University-licensed apparel. All the University’s major licensees have disclosed, Wilkerson said, and none has told Duke it wants out ofits contract.

To highlight the fact that the University has not achieved full disclosure, SAS members have planned a noon rally today in front of the Allen Building and are preparing to take a more aggressive stance in dealing with the administration. “We’re not going to enter into a relationship in which they give us information on a need-to-know basis... and we’re

supposed to be happy with that,” said SAS’s Casey Harrell, a Trinity senior. Although some disclosure is better than none, student activists have deemed Duke’s draft list of 1,000 factories both “inadequate and incomplete.” Specifically, they said some companies list addresses as only a post office box or an e-mail address and others give no phone number, still making it impossible for rights groups to do independent monitoring. Administrators say they share the students’ concerns that companies are intentionally giving the University the runaround on disclosure. ‘That is not acceptable...,” said Trask, who said he made it clear to the companies that they must provide street addresses, not box numbers. “Giving us wrong information does not mean you’re in compliance.” Compa-

Where it matters most.

nies giving inadequate information will also be informed of the 15-day deadline. SAS leaders are also skeptical that all the companies are being totally honest with Duke. “Small licensees might list 90 to 100 factories, while Champion or Russell might list 10,” Patel said, speaking hypothetically. “So it’s pretty clear they aren’t disclosing everything.” Wilkerson said it is impossible to tell whether companies are being honest, and that once students and non-governmental organizations begin their independent monitoring, they will help verify information on the list. “If we find that companies have misreported information, that will be a serious violation,” he added. Although it may take several weeks to sift through the existing information and hear back from the other companies, Trask and Wilkerson said they are confident they will soon reach full disclosure. Student activists are equally convinced that the location of each and every factory will eventually be known; they just think the administration might need an additional push to get there. “We’re not going to protest until the time is right,” Harrell said. “The time is getting right.”

The administration needs to assume a long-range view of the parking situatuation on West Campus

The

University’s parking situation seems poised to go from bad to worse. In the fall, students will return to find 350 to 450 spaces in the Ocean parking lot and along Wannamaker Drive eliminated to make way for the new West Campus dorms. It seems as though administrators only recently realized that plopping a giant structure in the Ocean would limit parking options there, and they have now set about trying to find an emergency solution to the quickly approaching parking crisis. Given that a dorm in the lot has been under consideration for at least two years, there is no excuse for ignoring parking considerations until the absolute last moment. Furthermore, administrators should not only be trying to recoup uiitj parking cruncn tnat tilt? txiui VV I Ji dd lost, they iiiiist nearly every member of the Duke community already acknowledges. Parking is a perennial problem on this campus. Every single group at Duke —undergraduates, graduate students, professors, employees—frequently rattles off a compelling list of its parking woes. And yet administrators routinely downplay these concerns. They say that there are “adequate spaces” and that the overall parking situation at Duke is “better than other at universities.” But this is a testament to exceptionally poor parking systems at other places, not a good system at Duke. For the first time in its history, the University must tackle the parking crunch head-on. A good first step would be to look around and recognize that the problem does indeed exist. The next step is coherent, logical long-term planning, something that seems more likely now that Duke has retained the services of a respected parking consultant. She should help guide the University as it makes the tough decisions about who should be granted parking, and where. It seems clear that parking is being pushed to the periphery of campus, which would open up picturesque green spaces at the heart of campus. This is fine, as long as it is accompanied with the necessary improvements in security and shuttle service. Parking a few city blocks from your dorm room or office of employment would not be a problem if shuttle services are reliable and efficient. People would no longer have to walk to their offices, just to be sure ofbeing on time for work. And, finally, if people know that a shuttle will pick them up in a reasonable amount of time, they will be less tempted to cheat the system and park outside of their assigned location. The parking problems are here, and they’re not going anywhere Long-term thinking is the only solution, and for administrators, acceptance is the first step.

Administration has broken anti-sweatshop contract The University has broken a contract with students. One year ago, Duke became the first university to agree to disclose a complete list of universitylicensed factory locations its students and the public. This followed a 31-hour sitin that was supported by over 30 student organizations. boon after the successful sit-in, all Duke licensees were notified of a change in their respective contracts that made them legally responsible to fully disclose their factory locations to Duke by Jan. 1, 2000. Over a year has passed, and where are we? The Jan. 1 deadline has passed. A grace period until Jan. 31 has also passed for the licensees to disclose their information. Last Monday, instead of receiving full disclosure, students were given a partial list of factories that fell far below the

required standards for disclosure designated by Duke. This blatant disregard for established deadlines and standards has left us feeling mocked. It also reminds us that disclosure will not come without significant public pressure. Licensees and the Licensing Collegiate Company had 10 months to figure out how they would disclose. It is not unreasonable to demand that they be held accountable for meeting their disclosure responsibilities. All people who believe in the movement to make Duke apparel “sweat-free” have every right to be upset by this breach of contract. On Feb. 7, we formally demanded to the administration that the following information be given to students and the public: 1) Full disclosure from all

licensees that produce Duke goods, and;

2) Written evidence of

legal proceedings taken by Duke University against non-compliant licensees who are in breach of contract. We invite the University community to a public rally at noon today in front of the Allen Building where we plan to hold the administration accountable for the contract they fiiade With ail of us. Two deadlines have passed. Let’s set a deadline for the University to meet our two demands and hold them to it. We’ve waited for disclosure long enough. No more secrets! Sara Jewett Trinity ’OO

seeing as how these issues are an important component of life in each sorority. This also gives rushees more complete information and allows them to make more informed decisions on which sorority, if any, to rush. The lack of non-alcoholic alternatives is also a reason many students turn to drinking. The Wilson Recreation Center is closed Saturday nights, leaving television as the only social option for most students without cars. The presence of such activities will give opportunities to those who lead lifestyles that do not include frequent or binge use of alcohol.

Chronicle staff would not have to write one original story to fill its daily space. The events of the last few weeks are nothing new, the only difference is that this time someone wrote to The Chronicle about it. The University should not respond by suspending the accused sorority. Instead, it should respect the lifestyle choices made by the sorority members and pledges and realize that every member has a different opinion of what fun is. The University’s well-intentioned safety concerns should be redirected to areas where they will make a more positive impact on student life, such as improving information distribution outlets and providing more events where alcohol, even if present, is not the focus.

Parking consultant tries to weigh convenience, aesthetics SPARKING from page 1

said Duke students do not have long treks to their cars, at least compared to students at other schools. “Student parking is better than [atl most universities, where they consider residential student parking as basically storage space and put it very far away, where it’s only accessible by shuttle or maybe a long hike,” she said. Trinity junior Michael Randall said he thinks that although he will never benefit from it, the new dorm is worth the parking sacrifice. “Having a car at Duke is a privilege, so having to walk another 20 yards is not a big deal,” he said. Nikos Konstantinides, a master’s

student in law, said walking to the law school from his parking space near the Washington Duke Inn is still too long—half the time it would take him to walk all the way from his Central Campus apartment. “I consider the parking space I’ve already got as far away,” he said at the prospects of being pushed further out. Chance and University officials are now working to devise both long-term and short-term plans that balance students’ demands to park near residence halls and employees’ and graduate students’ pleas to be pushed no further away. “Students want closer parking, faculty want closer parking, employees want closer parking and the master

planners want all the parking to turn into green space, so it’s a juggling act,” Chance said. Juggling these interests may be impossible, especially because most parking is already on the periphery of the campus. “The real question is: Do we want to put any more parking in the middle of campus?” Trask said. “While I understand [eliminating central parking! is an interesting goal, I’m not sure it works as well at Duke as it does at other places because Duke is so big. [But] I don’t expect to build a parking garage in front of the Chapel.”

This summer, parking officials will concentrate solely on reallocating ex-

Mellon

isting spaces and, if they come up short, building a new lot or two. “The big difference is cost,” Chance said of parking decks. “The fact is that they’re a very expensive way to deal with parking, and we’re trying to come up with ways that will work as well and are less expensive.” Home football games and their parking needs may force administra-

tors to reshuffle students on five weekends next year, because the likely student parking is now used by football ticketholders. Trask said many schools face this difficult problem and that he will be investigating possible solutions in the coming months.

Agrawal qualifies for U.S. team Wrestlers drop � The freshman earned a spot at the junior world championships, while her track teammates posted some strong times at two other meets. By 808 WELLS The Chronicle

Unbelievable There is simply no other word to describe the season that freshman sensation Sheela Agrawal is having. After being named to the All-America cross country team in the fall, Agrawal will now join the United States cross country squad and compete in the Junior World Championships next month in Portugal. Agrawal competed in the under-19 national championships in Greensboro Saturday, while the rest of the Blue Devils were split between the Kroger Indoor Invitation in Blacksburg, Va., and at the Valentine Classic in Boston. Agrawal finished fourth to earn a spot in the Worlds next month. “Sheela was absolutely outstanding,” coach Jan Ogilvie said. “She led for about 90 percent of the race. What is impressive about her performance is that she’s not in cross country shape, she’s in track shape. She only did one cross country workout last week.” While Agrawal has certainly been impressive this season, several other members of the Duke women’s team are also enjoying great success. At Virginia Tech, Janay McKie, Courtney Botts, Kristin Doody and Janna Turner won the 4x400 relay and in the process qualified for the ECAC Championships. Their time of 3:50 eclipsed the previous school record of

3:53.71. Botts, who ran the second leg in 56.1 seconds, was especially impressive. In the open 400 meters, Beverly Asante clocked in with a 59.09 to claim a spot among the top-25 performers. Jillian Schwartz also turned in a top 25 performance by finishing fifth overall in the pole vault. Schwartz bettered her school record by posting a final height of 11’7” and finished just a foot behind the winner. Kim Hanauer set a new personal best in the weight with a throw of 44’3”, which betters her old mark by three feet and puts her in contention to score at the ACC

Championships. In Boston, Maddie Woodmansee and Heather Ryan ran ECAC qualifying times

in the 1000. “To break that many records in a weekend shows that the program is going in the right direction,” Ogilvie said. “We’re really excited about that.” On the men’s side, Duke had several runners qualify for the IC4A Championships on March 4. Bill Spierdowis ran the mile in 4:07.75, the second-fastest time in Duke history. Only Bob Wheeler, a 1972 Olympian, did the mile faster. Kyle Leonard and Mike McKeever also qualified for IC4As in the mile. The Blue Devils also had two men qualify in the 5,000 meters. Terry Brennan finished second overall with a time of 14:29.22. Charlie Kelly finished sixth, posting a 14:45.04. James Vasak set a new personal best with a time of 1:53.23, which was good enough for second in his heat and a qualification for IC4As. The Blue Devils compete next at the ACC Indoor Championships Feb. 18-19.

2 close matches over weekend By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

When James Griffin managed to elude Matt Hoover’s grasp, Duke’s chances at its second victory ofthe season escaped with him. Griffin’s narrow triumph over Hoover gave Navy a 14-11 lead the Midshipmen (9-2) would extend into a 21-14 victory over the undersized and undermanned Blue Devils (1-10-1) Sunday afternoon in Cameron Indoor Stadium. With the team score knotted at 11-11 following the afternoon’s first six matches, Hoover and Griffin battled through a scoreless tie for close to five minutes in the 174-pound weight class. Hoover, a sophomore, finally earned a 1-0 lead in the second period’s final seconds, but Griffin evened the match again with a one-point escape 10 seconds into the third and final period. Trailing by more than a minute in riding time, Hoover needed a takedown to secure the victory and a minor decision for his team. As the final minute ticked off the clock, however, Griffin eluded the necessary takedown and garnered a bonus point for the advantage in time, which gave the Midshipmen three points and a 14-11 lead.

Blue Devils pull away in 2nd half behind Parent’s outburst The Blue Devils’ layup drill turned the rest of the game into garbage time and even allowed rarely used ofthe season, last night in Lawrence Joel Coliseum.

Duke shot only 26 percent from the floor in the first 20 minutes � BASKETBALL from page 13

“I’m glad basketball is two halves. In the second half, I thought we stepped it up...”

Coach Gail Goestenkors Leading by only seven after the first 20 minutes, the Blue Devils began forcefully attacking Wake’s interior in the second half. Guard Krista Gingrich found a cutting Michele Matyasovsky for a layin just over two minutes into the half, beginning a streak of 12 straight Duke points scored in the paint. After Missy West’s driving layup a minute later, forward Rochelle Parent decided to take over the game for the next three minutes. Parent put back a Gingrich miss to give Duke its first double-digit lead at 35-24. Two possessions later, Parent took a lob pass from Gingrich for an easy layup. On Wake’s ensuing possession, Parent tied up Wake’s Kristen Shaffer, forcing the Deacons’ 15th turnover of the game. Gingrich then capped off Duke’s run inside by finding Lauren Rice for a basket and a foul. ‘They played pressure man [defensel and they were getting up in the passing lanes,” Parent said. T took advantage of my ability to get up in the air and utilize the back door, and then it’s just making the layup.”

despite getting many open looks. “In the first half, I felt like we looked

tired,” Goestenkors said. “Obviously, we couldn’t hit our shots— I thought we looked just a little flat-footed. We were standing around in the first half, settling for outside shots. We need to have a good inside-outside attack.” Despite Duke’s sputtering offense, the Blue Devils stayed in the game courtesy of an even more inept offensive showing from Wake Forest. After a respectable start, the Demon Deacons could only manage six points for the last nine minutes of the first half. With the Deacons’ perimeter offense stymied by Duke’s taller guards, Wake coach Charlene Curtis looked to 6-foot-5 freshman Johanna Bjorklund to take advantage of Duke’s smaller post players. But Bjorklund responded by traveling twice, committing a three-second violation and missing several point-blank shots, all in the first half. Note: Senior forward Peppi Browne, out since tearing her ACL Jan. 27 against North Carolina, is likely gone for the season. After a brief attempt to play with a brace, Browne suffered a setback two weeks ago. Upon consulting with a specialist in Indianapolis, Browne will have season-ending surgery on her knee in three weeks. “She’s out for the rest ofthe year,” Goestenkors said. “She’s scheduled for surgery in three weeks. They can’t do it if her knee is swollen and even if they do it, it’s not possible for her to come back. So she’s done.” veiy

WAKE FOREST from page 13 Gail Goestenkors said, “and we’re not a very good team when we don’t play

with heart.” Additionally, the team was reluctant to take open shots. Lauren Rice, an excellent three-point shooter, passed on several open looks as she and her teammates struggled to ignite their offense. The Blue Devils normally rely heavily on their guards penetrating and kicking the ball out to their wing players, but in the first half they rarely drove to the basket. As a result, Duke got fewer uncoritested looks than usual. The players seemed content to just jack up shots from the outside, rarely challenging Wake’s post players in the paint. “In the first half, we just settled for the jump shot,” Goestenkors said. “We didn’t do a good job of really attacking the basket and I thought that hurt us some.” Duke shot just 26 percent from the floor in the first half, allowing Wake to stay within striking distance. The Deacons only trailed Duke by seven points, 27-20, at halftime. In addition to Duke’s offensive woes, its lack of defensive pressure enabled the Demon Deacons to stay on the Blue Devils’ heels. Duke has relied on its fullcourt pressure throughout the season, but it only pressed Wake a handful of times in the first half. This fact probably contributed to the Blue Devils’ slow start. The Blue Devils’ reluctance to use more fullcourt pressure was surprising, considering Wake’s offense has been

offensive throughout its current campaign. The Demon Deacons are dead last in scoring in the conference, managing just 57.5 points per game, and they failed to crack the 40-point mark last night. Wake’s lack of size at the guard position and dearth of skill players make it an ideal team to press. While shooting guard Alisha Mosley is a talented player for the Deacons, she can not shoulder the load for her team. Additional pressure might have allowed Duke to get off to a faster start and the pressure would have led to easy baskets, something the Blue Devils have done all year long. It would have led to easy baskets because Duke forces less capable ball handlers to handle the basketball 90 feet from their own basket. The easy buckets likely would have ignited an offense that was MIA in the first half. Such pressure also might have worn down a team that is already short-handed due to injury. Wake did play eight people in the first half, but that was largely due to foul trouble and just poor play by several players. As the Blue Devils wind down their regular season and prepare for postseason tournaments, they will have to start games better than they did last night. That all starts on the defensive side of the ball. If Duke starts that poorly against quality teams, the Blue Devils could find themselves on the wrong side of a runaway.
