Duke starts talks on alcohol Is Dunleavy Done? As administrators meet, Raheem Bath’s mother urges education

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle When details of Raheem Bath’s Nov. 27 alcoholrelated death became public last week, the University community’s consensus was that discus-

sion was needed to adjust Duke’s drinking culture. ‘We need more open conversations on campus,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Dickerson. We need to try to find ways to talk more straightforwardly.” But the next steps are trickier. Instincts to impose rules are balanced by the need to educate; possible policy changes are tempered by a desire to effect actual culture shifts. Catherine Bath, Raheem’s mother, stressed education and awareness of the dangers of binge drinking. “There is an underlying problem in American culture... that needs to be brought up to the surface. A crackdown on alcohol use is not the answer. This kind of control needs to be within each individual...,” she said. “Maybe education about drinking is the answer. I’m not sure my son was aware ofthe connection between the drinking incident he may have had over the weekend... and developing flu-like symptoms.” Bath, a 20-year-old Pratt junior, died of aspiration pneumonia, which he contracted by inhaling his own vomit.

At a meeting Monday afternoon, a group of about 18 administrators, professors and students agreed that although education is the University’s best tool, it is not particularly effective right now. “We know we have a health education structure, which certainly has a component that addresses drugs and alcohol,” said Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson. “Are there contributions that others can make to that structure that would make this more effective... in the types of messages [we send] and how they are received?” Catherine Bath stressed that mixed messages—in both the University community as well as the national culture—significantly contributed to Raheem’s death. “My son was a social drinker on campus, and apparently it can entail some bad things. He was pretty typical. He certainly did not have a drinking problem...,” she said, adding that she and her husband are Muslim and do not drink. “I blame American society for killing my 50n.... Social pressure and peer pressure was much stronger than his parental pressure.” She added that Duke should not treat her son’s death as an isolated incident: “I think it’s a nationwide problem.

MIKE DUNLEAVY’S departure will leave a hole on the Duke bench.

Duke’s best player off the bench will be out indefinitely with mononucleosis By NEAL MORGAN The Chronicle

Duke’s already thin lineup just suffered a major blow. Freshman Mike Dunleavy was diagnosed with mononucleosis and is out indefinitely, the team announced yesterday. Dunleavy is sixth on the team in scoring, averaging 9.5 points, and plays 25.3 minutes per contest. “I feel badly for Mike,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He was having a great year for us and has been an integral part of our team. We know he’ll get better with the proper treatment. We look forward to having him back before the end of our season.” Although the recovery time for mono varies with each patient, Dunleavy expressed optimism that he would play again in two or three weeks. Although doctors have told him his return. to the court will be dependent on how his body reacts to the disease, Dunleavy hopes to return to action by the start of the ACC tournament March 9. “Obviously I’m disappointed, but at the same time, I’ll get See

This calculation is based on the idea that at the smallest class size, a seminar, about 93 courses would need to be offered each semester for all students to be able to meet the requirements over four years. Offering 400 courses provides cushion room. “Four hundred is just an approximation.... They can’t all be seminars,” Thompson said. If an area becomes difficult for students to meet, then changes will be made, said Thompson. Currently, however, he doesn’t think they’ll be necessary. “We wanted a system that didn’t need exceptions, or even substitutions,” he said. “If we look at this and we’re requiring students to do something they can’t, we’ll fix it.”

BEIJING Less than one month before presidential elections in Taiwan, the Chinese government Monday released the bluntest warning yet that it will not wait indefinitely for the island to reunite with the mainland, declaring that a prolonged lack of negotiations, in itself, could provoke a military attack. The Chinese have long made it clear that any moves by Taiwan toward formal independence would lead to war. But Monday’s White Paper adds—for the first time in such a definitive policy statement—that if Taiwan refuses indefinitely to pursue “the peaceful settlement of cross-Straits reunification through negotiations, then the Chinese government will only be forced to adopt all drastic measures possible, includ-

Committee looks at death penalty A group of North Carolina legislators and experts is examining racial bias and studying the rules for executing the mentally retarded.

By CHRISTINE PARKINS The Chronicle

As the number of executions in North Carolina increases, the N.C. General Assembly has begun considering ethical concerns in applying the death penalty. A new committee appointed by the legislature recently began examining two major issues related to capital punishment: Whether or not mentally retarded people should be executed and how to keep race from influencing death penalty trials. Charged with presenting either possible legislation or recommendations to the General Assembly, the predominantly legislative committee began its task by interviewing various experts on the two issues. The joint House and Senate committee used two bills—S.334 “No death penalty/mentally retarded” and 5.991, “Racial Justice Act”—as a starting point for their investigation. Committee co-chair Sen. Frank Ballance, DWarrenton, said he became involved in the first issue—whether mental retardation is grounds for clemency—because he believes that the public demands it. “It’s my considered opinion that the citizens of North Carolina don’t condone the state taking the life of mentally retarded people,” he said. “It’s a matter of North Carolina catching up with the people, number one, and moving into the 21st century,” Rep. Ronnie Sutton, D-Pembroke, the committee’s other co-chair, said the commission’s first task would be to define mental retardation —perhaps through such standards as an IQ test or the defendant’s ability to function in society, although these measures may not always work. “We may have a person who functions well in the community with a low I.Q, and someone who has a high I.Q. and can’t function in society,” Sutton said. Ballance, who authored the two bills, said S. 334 would set up criteria within which mentally re-

students can give examples of a time they followed their intuition or experienced something oddly coincidental. Most would not necessarily label these as psychic experiences or think twice about why they happened But what if they could tap into that ability to get ahead on Wall Street or to find a missing child? Scientists at the Rhine Research Center, located off East Campus, believe these experiences are more than coincidental and hope that some day, their research can be applied to help businesspeople and police officers. “This isn’t some kind of wizard’s den and the field isn’t some kind of true believers,” said Richard Broughton, director ofthe Rhine Institute. “What motivates me is the same thing that motivates other scientists. We just have different subject matter.” The Rhine Research Center is dedicated to studying the paranormal through the scientific method. In 1935, J.B. Rhine founded the parapsychology laboratory in the University’s psychology department. Rhine moved the lab off campus when he retired from the University in 1962, and Duke cut its ties with him and the center, which is now funded by grants and private gifts. Today, the Rhine Research Center is one of the foremost institutes dedicated to studying parapsychology. It publishes The Journal of Parapsychology

the field. But still, the center attracts little mainstream attention. “It seems interesting that there can be so much history to an object or a place and most people will just pass by it every day without giving it a second thought,” said Trinity sophomore Lisa Rying, a work-study student at the Rhine Center. “Whatever you may think about parapsychology and validity, you cannot deny how much of Duke’s history involves its relationship

ate at the Rhine Center, believes parapsychology is a science. Palmer is currently working with a neuropsychiatrist in Seattle to determine if the temporal lobe of the brain can be linked to spontaneous psychic experiences. He is also conducting controlled experiments with a Ouija board-like device called an “alphabet board.” In these experiments, the “sender” sits in one room and tries to convey a word to a person in another room using the mind. The “receiver” moves toward the letters he feels he should and then records them into a tape player. At the end ofthe experiment, the receiver is given five word choices and is asked to pick one of them based on the letters and impressions he received. “The public is usually pretty supportive; most scientists usually are not,” Palmer said. ‘The main reason is it doesn’t seem to fit in well with the rest ofwhat we know. I don’t think [parapsychology] contradicts those theories. It

just doesn’t fit in well with them.” Traditional scientists also argue that these experiments are not replicable on demand and that parapsychologists still do not understand the intricacies ofpsychic ability. “A repeatable effect is needed in order for parapsychology to be accepted by the scientific community as a phenomenon that needs to be considered further,” said Greg Lockhead, professor of experimental psychology. “There is a huge need for basic research,” said Broughton, the institute’s director. “It’s so poorly funded. It’s always been a small number of intrepid scientists pursuing this through academic and funding hurdles.” Despite the skeptics, researchers at the Rhine Center push on, optimistic about the possibilities that could come from applying their research. “For the average person, psychic ability may be more like what people call intuition,” Broughton said. “You don’t need to know how something works to use it.”

capital spurred growth

Through letters, scholar studies manhood Venture By ALEX SUNDSTROM The Chronicle

In a discussion Monday night, Elsa Barkley Brown, an associate professor of history and women’s studies

at the University of Maryland, used correspondence between early 20th century black men to demonstrate how their sense ofresponsibility to keep long-distance friendships grew from their conception of manhood. “I tried to step outside the public discourse in the early 20th century about manhood and look at the experience of these men,” Brown said. “What I hope to do is suggest the need to explore more closely the social networks ofAfrican-American men.” Brown’s speech was based on her analysis of 350 letters sent to shoe store porter Edward McConnell Drummond, who lived in Richmond, Va. during the first quarter of the 20th century. “The way we think about working-class people and working-class black men does not include this kind of correspondence,” Brown said. Drummond’s vast corpus of writing helped his acquaintances adjust to the migration process as they moved about the country, Brown said. “To some degree, their friendship represented an anchor in an unsteady world,” Brown said. It was understood among black men that continuing to write each other regularly was an obligation of friendship and manhood, Brown said. The writers included paper and stamps whenever they wrote each other to ensure that the other party would be able to reply. These letters were an important source ofadvice regarding manhood and social roles. One letter to Drummond posed the question, ‘There are five beautiful damsels trying to vamp me. Whatever should I do?” In the 19205, Drummond started a newspaper called the Richmond Voice. It employed a staffof volunteers who participated in the paper out of the same ideal of friendship that drove them to write each other when they were apart.

Despite the success of this pool, McDonald said DUMAC will not significantly change the proportion of funds devoted to venture capital. “Venture capital will continue to have a select and important but limited role in our overall investment policy,” he said. DUMAC will reinvest most of the dividend back into the endowment, but approximately 5 percent—about $l6 million—will be spent on University programs.

ELSA BARKLEY BROWN discusses masculinity in the early 1900s Brown said that the bonds of friendship among these men did not diminish as their lives progressed. ‘The men’s responsibility for communication and maintaining relationships remained important even after their wives were exchanging letters telling about each other’s welfare,” she said. Brown reported that attention had been paid to the responsibility of maintaining communication among black women of the era, but not to black men. “What I was trying to do was ask questions about black men in the early 20th century that to this point have only been asked about women,” she said. This lecture was the first in the Ella Baker Lecture series, a collaborative effort between the University and North Carolina Central University to honor the 1960s civil rights activist from North Carolina.

expenditures and changes in investment strategies. The national average of 11 percent returns was a five-year low. In 1998, colleges averaged an 18 percent return on their investment, down from a 20.7 percent return in 1997. The growth rate of Duke’s endowment has ranked in the top 10 percent nationally over one-, three-, fiveand 10-year periods, leaving Duke with the 21st largest endowment in the nation. The University is one of only 34 schools with a 10-figure endowment and trails only Emory University among schools in

the Southeast. Several Southern schools—including the Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory and Washington and Lee University—had endowments that fell flat last year when Coca-Cola’s stock dropped 30 percent last year. Atlanta-based Emory’s endowment alone lost $630 million. But many nearby universities performed near the national average.

Committee explores racial bias in capital punishment � DEATH PENALTY from page 3

tarded people would not be executed. “Many [mentally retarded people] have the mental state of a nine-year-old. We don’t want to kill nine-year-old children,” he said. “We don’t hold them to the standard that we would an adult.” Ballance added that any defendant would have to have been diagnosed prior to the case. The committee will also examine ways to eliminate racially based sentencing in death penalty cases. Ballance said he introduced the original bill because he sees racial injustice as a major flaw in the judicial system. Ballance explained that the race of the victim or the defendant often plays a role in a court’s decision-making process. “Some of us believe —we know it’s a fact—that African Americans are tried more often capitally” Ballance said. “We want to establish a procedure whereby a defense attorney could file a pretrial motion alleging that the decision to seek the death penalty was racially motivated. If the court finds that to be true... then they cannot seek the death penalty.” Although the two committee chairs have strong views on the death penalty—Ballance is an opponent while Sutton a proponent—they said their opinions would not affect their work. In fact, committee members do not seem to be concerned that their own positions on capital punishment will color how they examine these issues. “I have been impressed by the sincer-

ity of the members present,” said committee member James Coleman, professor of the practice of law at Duke. Tm sure that each member’s personal views on the death penalty will affect how they go about the work to some degree... But I think that we are all professional people with integrity. We’ll make our decisions on the basis of facts rather than personal feelings.” Ballance said he worries that reelection concerns could overshadow the real issues in any bills the committee might propose. “Politicians are skittish about this issue and this is an election year,” he said. He explained that politicians would not want to been seen as weak on crime. These concerns will slow the committee’s work. “One of the reasons we won’t have anything until January is because our cohorts are in a close election,” Sutton said. “It would be unfair to our colleagues... to put them on record as voting on the death penalty when it is unnecessary.” The General Assembly has attempted to pass similar bills in the past. However, they have either died in committee or were voted down. Committee members expressed concern that the public would misunderstand them as reviewing the death penalty itself. “We are not there to rehash the idea of should North Carolina have a death penalty,” Sutton said. Coleman, however, said the committee could use its clout to educate the public on the state of the death penalty in North Carolina.

We’ll see how it’s going to get played. We’re going to have to be postured to give outstanding advising.” One area of the matrix that worries Thompson is that natural science departments like chemistry and biology are having trouble offering courses that meet some of the required areas. Currently there are no natural science offerings for the Cross-cultural Inquiry requirement, foreign languages, or Interpretive and Aesthetic Approaches. “It’s harder for the natural sciences,” Thompson said. ‘Tm trying to figure out how to encourage [course development] in

ways that the faculty will find interesting.,.. It’s not something you can force.” Thompson added that since the creation of the matrix, new courses have already been proposed that may help to ease the problem. John Simon, chair of the chemistry department, said he does not foresee the lack of natural science courses as an immense worry. “It imposes a little inflexibility, of course... but I don’t foresee a big problem meeting course requirements,” said Simon, the George B. Geller professor of chemistry. He added that if natural science majors are forced outside of their area of expertise to meet Curriculum 2000 requirements, then the curriculum is working effectively. “I’m a pretty big fan of Curriculum 2000,” he said. “It provides a good breadth of discipline.”

The sound of silence

Administrators

have begun their quest to curb binge drinking on campus. They’ve started brainstorming ways to change Duke’s drinking culture, ways to prevent another tragedy like the alco-

hol-related death ofPratt junior Raheem Bath. But it’s hard to understand why this effort didn’t start months ago, immediately following Bath’s death from pneumonia he contracted by inhaling his own vomit. In November and early December, as rumors swirled around campus and students struggled to fathom Bath’s death, the administration did not capitalize on the teachable moment. In response to this horrible tragedy, the University had the perfect opportunity to educate the campus community about the dangers of binge drinking and alert unwitting students to the risk of aspiration pneumonia. They had away to show all students—not just those who listened to the rumor mill—some of the horrible and shocking effects of too much alcohol. But they chose to keep quiet. Even after Duke compiled statistics demonstrating an increasing number of excessive drinking cases that required hospitalization, administrators didn’t emphasize the extent ofthe problem. Even after Bath’s mother implied at his memorial service in December that alcohol was a factor in his death, administrators did not begin talking openly about binge drinking. Even after President Nan Keohane was willing to tell the Board of Trustees that she feared for students’ safety, she didn’t want to tell the students themselves about her concerns. Only when a second student was hospitalized with aspiration pneumonia did the alarm bell start to ring in the Allen Building. All of a sudden, administrators apparently realized the University had a problem. It seems that one death wasn’t enough, but the prospect of a second was too much. Administrators have tried to defend their initial silence, but there is no justifiable reason why they did not speak out sooner about the dangers of binge drinking, Duke officials said they waited until they had permission from the family to talk about the case. However, Bath’s mother says she never gave the University permission to release the information. Regardless, worries about releasing not entirely confirmed facts seem misguided, as the rumors ran rampant and the public health concern lay unaddressed. In recent weeks, nothing changed about the situation or the family’s privacy concerns; the University simply wised up and started treating this issue like the serious health issue it is. Now, the University has the opportunity to begin making up for the mistakes it made in November. Beyond the ongoing campus action, Duke can use its place as one of the nation’s preeminent universities to send two important messages to its peers: Aspiration pneumonia is a real, and mostly unknown, danger of excessive drinking that students should understand. More importantly, Duke’s leaders should teach their counterparts at other universities not to hide from binge drinking, but to inform people about it immediately, talk about it immediately and address it immediately. •

Article misrepresented racial profiling discussion The article in your Feb. 16 edition on the panel discussion concerning racial profiling sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. entirely misrepresents the subject at hand. Racial profiling involves more than mere traffic stops. Even a cursory glance at the literature on the subject would reveal that racial profiling concerns airport security, suspect apprehension and

sundry other law enforcement procedures. In fact, the panel members debated at length as to a definition ofracial profiling, and no definition ever emerged; The Chronicle, however, decided to concoct one of its own. As such, it wrongly attributes my remarks on the subject as pertaining to traffic stops, but this was not the case. At no point in my opening comments —from which for referenced article, see

the quotation in question was culled—did I discuss automobiles. Thus, The Chronicle took my statement completely out of context and misrepresented my ideas. It is unfortunate that The Chronicle would be so careless about a subject of such great import. Eric Adler Graduate student, Department of Classical Studies

Graduate students require their own social space In response to the articles entitled “Grad students seek space” academic and “Graduate students seek social space,” I feel compelled to add my two bits to the discussion. At the large, public and strapped-for-cash university I attended in Australia, all graduate students had individual office space. Here at Duke, with its Card Gyms and ‘TV rooms,” it’s mystifying as to why advanced graduate students with teaching responsibilities often lack even shared office facilities—and lowly first-years like me lack a study carrel or locker space. The problem of social and study space for graduate students is also real, and surely exacerbated for those of us whose departments and classes are on East Campus. There is no alternative to Trinity Cafe; the Marketplace is not

so wallet-friendly if your DukeCard does not come equipped with an infinite number offood points. Also, East is remarkably lacking outdoor seating. (Of course, when the weather warms up, I’m out on the lawn in my bikini like the undergraduates.) As much as I love Lilly Library, I’ve had to give up studying there in the evenings when it turns into some kind of prep-school-forconsumers study hall: rows of talkative students (some in pajamas) amidst a sea of beeping laptops, cookie packets and skinny-decaf-icedmocha-lattes. Like many others I’ve spoken to, I would welcome the establishment of a graduate cafe/center, which might include study areas and a computer cluster, which could cultivate some kind of graduate student presence.

Despite the putative importance of graduate and professional students to the University, it often seems like I’m a visitor on someone else’s campus—or worse—an intruder in someone else’s living room. A space where graduate students from across disciplines could meet—and which they felt was for their use—would surely encourage connections between individuals who are isolated both from other departments and from the prevailing undergraduate campus life. Other international graduate students and I tenuously hold onto the hope that this American campus has more to offer than just basketball hype and drunken fraternity parties.

every day around campus informs our most probing questions. Why exactly was this man cited for trespassing? Why did this seemingly foolish policy get passed? In this case, when students began to demand more details on the shocking death, we should have asked the questions; we should have honored our role as journalists and merited the trust given to us by so many readers. Of course, there are many people who think Bath’s death should never have been revisited. Many of those closest to him might argue that the memory of his life and grief of his death should remain with those who knew him. This sentiment is certainly understandable, and we must always be sensitive to the anguish our stories can wreak for those already in the throes of tragedy. But these thoughts cannot stifle all coverage and, by extension, discussion

of a painful subject. If anything, our experience on this campus should teach us all that when dealing with an issue

like binge drinking, silence breeds tragedy. By letting Bath’s death go unexamined, nobody considered the dangers of aspiration pneumonia, and another student was hospitalized with the same condition. She survived, but it was without help from the administration or The Chronicle. She survived, but that does not diminish the risks students face each and every day as they engage in overconsumption. It’s time we stop protecting ourselves and each other. It’s time to ask the tough questions and learn the tough lessons, lessons we learned the tragic way the first time around.

Katherine Stroup is editor of The Chronicle and president of Duke Student Publishing Company.

Outlawing cloning will only force it underground My View Hua Wang It is the year 2020. You stroll past the maternity ward in the Duke Hospital to chat with your pregnant friend. “Do you know if the baby will be a boy or a girl?” you ask, because modern technology has made it possible to learn the sex of the baby months before the predicted date ofbirth. Your friend laughs, and says, “I know Jay is going to be a boy, because we selected him from our gene pool. Also, he will look like Tom Cruise and think like Bill Gates.” You then wander into the next room, where you see two females lovingly holding a baby girl. The two females are legally married in Hawaii, and like most couples, they want a baby that shares their genes. Reprogenetics made their dream possible. It is now the year 2050, and you again wander into the maternity ward. This time, your friend Candace is in painful labor. To comfort her, her husband whips out a picture of a blond girl with pigtails and dimples. Candace smiles at the picture of her unborn child and looks at another picture. This time, the girl is older—and 5’5”. Next door, you hear a man screaming his head off as he prepares to give birth. How can this be possible? By carrying out in vitro fertilization and injecting hormones, the egg is fertil-

ized by sperm. The doctor then uses ultrasound to locate a peritoneal cavity to place the fertilized egg for implantation. A modified version of a Caesariansection produces a healthy baby. “It’s my body, my choice,” cries out the man, as he is surrounded by a mob of reporters. Although part of the beauty of being a guy includes not having to get pregnant, male pregnancy will soon be possible. In a few decades, these scenarios and newspaper stories about them will become the norm. In the future, a woman can give birth to her identical sister, a baby can have two genetic mothers and a man can become pregnant. The question of genetic cloning raises a slew of ethical concerns. Our current knowledge of genetics can allow parents to choose the physical characteristics, personalities and talents of their unborn children. Parents can weed out undesirable traits and start actually inserting the genes they want—perhaps even genes that have been crafted in a lab. Similar to the way we custom-design our own homes, soon we will have the opportunity to design our own babies. Parents will have complete control over their children’s genetic destiny. As scary as all this sounds, society must not curb the development ofreprogenetics. Some anti-cloning activists have lobbied the government to outlaw cloning, as the government has done with private ownership of nuclear weapons. These activists claim that the government can and should control unwanted technology. However, nuclear bombs cost billions of dollars, while reprogenetics is affordable to the average Joe.

To run a clinic, all you need are a few medical tools, simple chemicals and basic laboratory equipment. Before cloning, infertile couples were forced to use donated sperm or egg in order to have a biologically related child. However, the intrusion of a stranger’s genes causes resentment and emotional pain. Desperate couples will do whatever it takes to have their own babies. They want children with the father’s chin and the mother’s knack for math. Even if nations collectively banned cloning, there will always be people with enough money to pay for what they want. It is impossible for the government to monitor every action concerning cloning and prevent the distribution ofrelevant information in black markets. Anti-cloning activists also claim that genetic engineering compromises a person’s right to a unique identity. Because a clone is a later-born identical twin of the original, he will go through life looking like the original. Nevertheless, like identical twins, he will have his own thoughts and life experiences. Genes shape every life—but life is in the end a story told by the author, his family and the society that surrounds him. Human lives are narratives, not biological blueprints inherent in the earliest embryo. We must never postpone research that has clearly defined future benefits out of fear for hypothetical dangers. Society has the obligation to utilize the amazing potentials of cloning. Prohibition of cloning will only result in an underground market of clinics, which could include unsafe conditions imperilling desperate couples. In the year 2020, let’s hope that the world will not become a hell where black markets exist and dangerous technology falls into the wrong hands. Hua Wang is a Trinity freshman

Blue Devils earn Ist win at Clemson in 4 years � Women’s golf stands in second after first round

Lauren Rice scored 17 points, including 14 in the first half as Duke staked an early lead

In its first tournament of the spring, second-ranked Duke sits in second place, five strokes behind Stanford, after yesterday’s first round of the Arizona Wildcat Invitational in Tucson. Sophomore Beth Bauer, ranked fourth in the nation, tops the individual standings after shooting a four-under-par 67. The event, which features seven of the country's top 10 teams, concludes tomorrow after two more rounds.

CLEMSON, S.C. In a stretch of an hour, the Clemson Tigers proved the adage that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Clemson certainly found some holes in Duke’s defense last night, especially in the second half, but what should have turned into a pregame layup drill instead resembled a beginners-only basketball clinic. Both teams struggled to make baskets, but the Tigers managed to out-ugly Duke, shooting a woeful 23 percent from the field in the loss. “We’ve got to be able to finish,”

Duke hosts Wake in Ist game without Dunleavy The Blue Devils will try some new lineup combinations against the Demon Deacons, who gave them a tough time in Winston-Salem. ;

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle No one said being the No. 2 team in the nation was easy. In the final days of the regular season, the Blue Devils now see their six-man rotation knocked down to five. But even before Duke lost Mike Dunleavy until at least the ACC tournament, it had learned that the only way to succeed is the hard way. In a season where the Blue Devils won four overtime battles and surprised everyone by clinching the ACC title, they remain confident that it’s going to take a lot more than a virus to slow them down. Duke (19-3,10-1), which moved up to second in the latest AP poll after then-No. 1 Cincinnati lost, faces its first test without Dunleavy tonight in Cameron Indoor Stadium against Wake Forest (14-12, 5-8). The situation will offer the Blue Devils the opportunity to fine-tune their bench. Shane Battier noted that freshmen Nick Horvath and Casey Sanders are likely to have a chance to earn more minutes. ‘There’s an old adage: when one door closes, another window opens,” Battier said. “So it’s a great opportunity for other people to step up.” Horvath, the 6-foot-10 center from Arden Hills, Minn., knows that if there’s ever a chance for him to climb through the window, this is it.

the bench, a key veteran will need to step up to close some other holes. Battier is likely to become more of an outside player. “I think definitely Shane will head a little bit more to the perimeter,” Horvath said. “Mike is definitely more of a guard than I am.... But I think moving Shane and having me in there—we’ve done it in practice and it The team learned Horvath could shoot seemed to be pretty effective, so I think it when he banked in a game-winning trey will be good.” in overtime against DePaul in December. Chris Carrawell said Dunleavy’s absence But his increased presence in will only make the team stronger in the long run by allowing more the lineup will force Duke to try some new looks versatility for the veterans and more exposure and experience “If he, Carlos [Boozer] and I were in the game, for example, for the newcomers. we would really spread the “We’ve got to rally around floor,” Battier said. “And so with each other because Mike is such Nick in the game, it gives us an important part of our team,” some different combinations.

Women’s swim team takes last at ACCs By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

While the Blue Devils went into this weekend’s ACC Championships optimistic, they also went in realistically knowing they had little chance of placing first. Yet despite another last-place finish, the team remains just as optimistic coming out of the meet. Duke took only 132 points in the four-day affair, while North Carolina, with a score of over 700 points higher, won the meet it hosted at the Maurice J. Koury Natatorium. Despite yet another daunting last-place finish for the Duke swimmers, sole senior Jamie Fleming noted that the team was improving, albeit slowly. ‘This is probably the most successful ACCs I’ve seen in my four years here,” Fleming said, “in terms of everyone’s performances individually and in terms of the way everyone competed. I thought we competed very well.” In another silver lining, Duke relay teams broke two school records.

The quartet of Susan Keeler, Jennifer Lee, Betsy Stewart and Fleming posted a record in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:37.77, placing sixth, above Florida State. And in the 400-yard medley relay, Laura Downey, Paige Dommerich, Stewart and Lee finished in a recordsetting 3:58.74, placing them sixth in that event as well, over Maryland, which was disqualified. Looking ahead, the Blue Devils are still bringing up the bottom of the ACC, but the potential exists for better showings. Duke is a young team, half of which is freshmen. Now that those freshmen have been through a regular season and ACC Championships, Fleming said, they’ll only do better. “Whitney Greene, our assistant coach, she’s doing the recruiting now and she’s done a great job of recruiting,” Fleming said. “This is the first year we could really see her work pay off. We can see in the pool, the freshmen are a very strong part of the team. The team’s only going to get better from here.”

Both teams start 2nd half with offensive woes � RICE from page 13 as balls were bricking off the rim. The Blue Devils managed to commit 25 turnovers and still win, while the Tigers managed to stay in the game despite shooting an incredible 23.1 percent from the floor. Tm just happy to win,” Goestenkors said. “It was a very ugly game. I don’t think [Clemson coach Jim DavisJ is happy with the way they played; I know I’m not happy with the way my team played.” And for a while in the second half, it seemed neither

team would take the win. The two squads combined to miss their first nine shots of the period, with the only point coming on a Krista Gingrich free throw that pushed Duke’s halftime advantage up by one, to 29-21, on the first possession. The Blue Devils finally scored, as LaNedra Brown banked in a transition layup three-and-a-half minutes into the half, the first field goal for either team. Frustrated by the Duke matchup zone, the Clemson offense was even worse, taking a full five minutes before reserve Chrissy Floyd sank a jump shot to pull the Tigers within six. But while Clemson pulled back into the game, it could never pull within one possession. Four times during the second half, the Tigers cut the lead to six, but each time the rally fell short before making a serious threat.

“Somehow we’ve got to learn how to manufacture points said Davis, whose frustration boiled over near the game’s conclusion, earning him a technical foul. As Davis saw it, it was a simple lack of execution. “We need a shooting coach,” he joked afterwards. “Heck, we need a layup coach.” Despite the poor shooting numbers, the Tigers remained in file game largely because ofthe play of center Erin Batth. The senior led the Tigers with 14 points and 11 rebounds. But the rest of the team found little room to move against a physical Duke defense. “Our total lack of aggressiveness hurt us,” Davis said. ‘There’s a difference between our players in that we’ve got shooters and they’ve got players. We can stand out there and shoot with anybody, but our confidence is shaken because people come and get up in our stuff and we’ve got to be ready to take it.” A Gingrich three-pointer with 1:46 left to play sealed the game for the Blue Devils, giving Duke a 54-44 advantage, and handing the seniors on the team their first-ever victory at Clemson. “One of my seniors said she hadn’t won here,” said Goestenkors, who last won in Clemson in 1996. “I had no idea it had been that long, so I’m really glad that the seniors came away with a win.” ”

Brown sets career highs for points, rebounds � TIGERS from page 13 ductive offense. For the last 20 minutes of the contest, Clemson made just 8 ofits 34 shots. Amazingly, that was

still better than its shooting performance in the first half. Fittingly for a game that featured two of the ACC’s better teams looking anything but sharp, the differencemaker may have been the last player on Duke’s bench. Freshman LaNedra Brown, who had logged just 65 more minutes on the floor than trainer Joe Angus on the season prior to last night’s game, played an important role in keeping the Tigers at bay in the second half. After playing one forgettable minute in the first half that included two fouls and a turnover, Brown replaced Rochelle Parent, who had just picked up her fourth personal foul, just three minutes into the second half. And the Rochester, N.Y., native did not wait long to make her impact. Just 50 seconds after checking in, Brown got loose on the break, took a nice pass from Sheana Mosch and converted a layup in transition to give Duke a double-digit lead. After Clemson scored the next four points to whittle the lead down to six, Brown scored inside again. On Duke’s ensuing possession, she grabbed the offensive rebound off a Lauren Rice miss and converted the putback, capping a three-minute frenzy that had her scoring all six Duke points. But she was not done. After the Tigers had trimmed the lead back down to five at 39-34, Krista Gingrich drove to the basket from the wing and missed a floater. But Brown came away with the offensive board, powered the ball back through the hoop and drew the foul from Nuria Forns. In her 15 minutes of action, Brown set season highs in points (nine) and rebounds (four). When Parent finally checked back into the game, Brown thought her night was over and walked toward the bench. Parent, however, was replacing Mosch and had to grab Brown and pull her back onto the court. If her solid play continues, Brown may have to get > >

used to extended playing time. “She was key for us,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She’s been practicing so well this past week. She went in the first half and just exploded, and was very upset with herself. So I was very happy for her the way she played in the second half. She came in and gave us a huge lift.” On this night, however, the biggest lift Duke received came from Clemson’s awful shooting. In a game in which neither team could string together even three straight makes from the floor, it was the Tigers’ poor shooting that ultimately let Duke walk away with its first win in Littlejohn Coliseum in four seasons.

a tie for the ACC crown, would win the title outright for the fourth year in a row. “It will be very satisfying,” Battier said. “That was our goal from day one Despite all the naysayers, we’re just going to go out and get it done. We’re not

stronger and fresher,” Dunleavy said.

“I’m going to do all I can to stay in shape and stay fresh, but at the same time, I know I can’t push it.” Mononucleosis is an infection that’s most common symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite and a sore throat. When

people contract mono, their spleen will enlarge and, in serious cases, rupture. Last season, North Carolina’s Jason Capel was diagnosed' with mono and missed six games before returning to the Tar Heel lineup. Capel did not experience the fatigue usually associated with the illness but needed to take time off for his enlarged spleen to recover. Dunleavy admitted that he has felt tired, but indicated that the spleen is the most important thing to consider when contemplating a return.

“This week, I’ll just do some light stuff, but hopefully by the next week or so I’ll be able to keep up with running,” Dunleavy said. “It’s not like an ankle where you can just play through it. It’s something that if I get hit in my spleen and it ruptures, that’s not good—it’s not a matter of ending my season, it’s the end ofmy career. So you can’t mess with that.” Dunleavy first suffered a sore throat over a week ago, which he believed to be strep throat. He took medication, none of which worked. By last Tuesday, he suspected it might be mono and was tested Saturday after the N.C. State game. In the meantime, his teammates can only hope for a speedy recovery. “Hopefully he’s not out for too long,” senior Chris Carrawell said. “It’s one of those things you’ve got to pray on. His health is the most important thing, but we need him back.”

inside. Songaila had a banner game last week against Maryland, posting 22 points and 12 rebounds. But in the end, despite any initial awkwardness for Duke, the Demon Deacons are quite manageable.

Robert O’Kelley leads Wake Forest in scoring, but Williams performed well last time against Wake, leading Duke with 19 points on 8-for-10 shooting. Vidaurreta, whose numbers can be deceiving, leads Wake with 6.8 boards per game. Yet again, the Demon Deacons just don’t have the talent to match Duke. With Dunleavy out due to mono, this is the time for Horvath and Sanders to shine. Horvath had a gamewinning shot against DePaul and Sanders has been stepping up over the past week. Wake’s Craig Dawson and Josh Shoemaker should give the Blue Devils no problems. With a win tonight, the Blue Devils will clinch the ACC title outright. That excitement, coupled with the knowledge that they will have to step up without Dunleavy, gives Duke a leg up. Despite Wake Forest’s urgency and need of a win late in the season, the Demon Deacons won’t find it in Cameron.

If anything, the loss of Dunleavy, while a setback, could energize Duke in the last leg of the regular season and erase any sense of complacency. The team seems eager to try out new formations, while Horvath and Sanders are just as eager to perform well during this opportunity. Despite a rough first half in which Duke adjusts to life without Mike, they’ll rally in the second to take the game easily, 78-59. Compiled by Kevin Lees —
