Downtown plans excite Durham

� Rape Awareness Week organizers say the annual event provides an opportunity to highlight the rarely discussed topic.

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

Eighteen t-shirts flapped from a clothesline in front ofthe Cambridge Inn Monday, their bright colors giving the quad an especially cheery tinge. But lodged between the red and green and pink and white shirts, a black and white sign interrupted the colorful display: “Make every hourfree of sexual violence.”

The t-shirts, decorated by survivors

ofsexual assault as well as their friends and family members, fly on the quad every year as part of Rape Awareness Week. This year, behind the table where volunteers handed out purple ribbons, students pitched three tents to promote

a 24-hour rape-free campus.

But despite all the information they distributed via megaphone, posters and

presentations, organizers of Rape Awareness Week stressed that the campus has a lot to learn. “A lot of people are aware of the statistics, but they do not think it happens here...,” said Trinity senior Carla Ransom, an event organizer. “It’s hard to

face the truth that it’s such a big problem.”

Many students said the truth is even more difficult to come by because so few people talk about the issue. “I think it’s something that’s kept very hushhush...,” said Stacie Rabinowitz, a TriniSee

The abandoned tobacco factory complex may soon undergo a massive renovation

By SARAH MCGILL The Chronicle

For more than a dozen years, the phantom remnants of the once-thriving American Tobacco complex have lingered in downtown Durham, a fenced-off array of aging

brick buildings.

But new plans by Durham Bulls owner Jim Goodmon’s Capitol Broadcasting Co. promise to transform the 16-acre complex into a center of office buildings, shops and restaurants and breathe new life into downtown.

“It’s got tremendous potential,” said Mayor Nick Tennyson.

“It could shape Durham’s downtown for years to come.”

If fullyrealized, the $2OO million project will be a mix of retail, residential and office space and could include entertainment options like a movie theater, live performance theater See

N.Y. Times News Service

BERLIN Bowing to international pressure, Joerg Haider resigned Monday as leader of the anti-immigrant Freedom Party that he had taken from a marginal fringe group to a powerful national force in Austria over the past 14 years.

The abrupt resignation, just three weeks after the Freedom Party joined a government coalition and brought the ire of Europe down on Austria, reflected the country’s discomfort at its isola-

tion. But it also suggested a tactical maneuver consistent with Haider’s long history of keeping his oppo-

nents off balance.

Haider, 50, has repeatedly changed strategy since becoming leader of the Freedom Party in 1986, switching from attacks on the European Union to pro-European statements, and directing his appeal alternately to workers and business.

In this light, his resignation may prove to constitute one step back with a view to a more vigorous advance.

At the least, it will shield him from criticism if the coalition with the conservative People’s Party proves unpopular, while allowing him to consolidate his credentials as governor of the southern province of Carinthia. His ultimate aim almost certainly remains to emerge as Austrian chancellor, should his party come to dominate

national politics.

Announcing his resignation after an emergency party meeting Monday night in Vienna, Austria, Haider said he did not “want to be seen as a shadow-chancellor.”

McCain attacks Robertson’s ‘intolerance’

By RON FOURNIER Associated Press

WASHINGTON Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., derided Pat Robertson and other evangelical “agents of intolerance” Monday in a high-stakes bid to expand his Republican coalition without alienating religious conservatives whose votes and contributions have fueled the party’s rise.

“We are the party of Ronald Reagan, not Pat Robertson,” the senator said Monday in Virginia Beach, home of Robertson’s Christian Coalition.

“I am a Reagan Republican who will defeat A1 Gore,” he said. Rival George W. Bush “is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to A1 Gore.”

McCain’s advisers likened his visit to the lion’s den to a 1992 address by President Bill Clinton, who criticized a black rap artist while sharing the stage with

McCain’s address marked a sharpening ofhis strategy to “build a bigger Republican Party” by courting independents, Democrats and moderate Republicans who normally don’t participate in the political process.

But the strategy is fraught with risks.

Religious conservatives are an active component of the Republican coalition that controls Congress, an electrified “third rail” of GOP politics rarely crossed by candidates seeking a party nomination for needing help in a general election.

“The social conservatives are an important part of the Republican coalition and they need to be part of a winning coalition to beat A1 Gore,” said GOP strategist Scott Reed, who ran Bob Dole’s 1996 presidential campaign.

Rob Leonard relishes the chance to become the first Community Service Center leader in recent memory to switch to Duke Student Government.

Although he has never had any official DSG experience, the Trinity junior sees his time with the CSC as an bonus rather than a blemish on his record in the race for vice president for community interaction.

As student co-director of the CSC, Leonard has had ample opportunity to familiarize himself with the Durham community.

Not many other students can say they’ve gone to Trinity Park Association board meetings, nor could they rattle off the list of the top issues facing Durham today.

“The Duke community is just a small sphere,” she said. “It should automatically include the Durham community.”

Earlier this year, Johnson and Trinity sophomore Catherine Frels, with the help of the current vice president for community interaction Jeremy Huff, submitted a proposal to the administration that emphasized the importance of immediately introducing the freshman class to Durham. “Students’ view of Durham is split between a somewhat negative perception, and a non-perception,” Johnson said. Introducing them to the city earlier would help make freshman feel that “not

only East Campus and Duke is their home, but Ninth Street is as well.”

Assistant Dean of Student Development Lisa Dingman was enthusiastic about the proposal. “I’m excited to see that there is student interest in improving [orientation],” she said. “I think learning about opportunities in and around Durham... is definitely worthwhile, and that it’s our job to make students aware of these opportunities.”

Frels praised Johnson’s motivation.

Pradhan plans to redefine VP post

By RICHARD RUBIN The Chronicle

Most years, the Duke Student Government vice presidentfor community interaction focuses on Duke-Durham relations and race relations, and most of this year’s candidates have crafted their platforms around these issues.

But not Trinity sophomore Anupam Pradhan.

Although Pradhan said he recognizes the importance of the traditional issues, he hopes to take his position in a different direction by looking into the way residential space is allocated in the new dormitory and examining alcohol on campus.

When pressed, Pradhan does not have a recommendation on how to resolve either of these large questions. Instead, he stresses open communication and discussion. “We really need to evaluate who’s going to get those housing spots in the new dorm,” he said.

On alcohol, one of the campus’ hottest topics in recent weeks, he said, “At Duke, it’s becoming a problem, because the administration isn’t taking a stance on it.”

But Pradhan doesn’t profess to know what that stance should be exactly.

Pradhan comes to the campaign with a year and a half of DSG experience and a deep community service background. He has been a member of the community interaction committee for the last two years and volunteers in Durham, participating in Project BUILD and the America Reads program.

As vice president, Pradhan also hopes to change the Intercommunity Council, bringing in new groups that are not currently represented. “In the last two years, I don’t feel like the ICC has been a very effective organization,” he said. “Its scope seems to be too large at times.”

Pradhan hopes to address student climate is by expanding the orientation program, making it longer and adding more programs like BUILD and Project WILD. Right now, he said, “You find your social groups pretty quickly. You find that social life is dominated by West Campus and drinking.”

But any move toward a longer orientation schedule would be fraught with potential problems, said Assistant Dean of Student Development Lisa Dingman. “Before considering lengthening the program, we need to See PRADHAN on page 14 �

Young highlights his experience, action

By RICHARD RUBIN The Chronicle

During his two years in the Duke Student Government legislature, Trinity sophomore Sean Young has been extremely busy, always working on at least one project and sending out mass e-mails to his colleagues.

“He’s very active,” said Jeremy Huff, DSG vice president for community interaction. “He’s almost at this frenzied level of action that I can’t keep up with.”

And it’s this theme of action that drives Young’s second campaign for the vice presidency. “[The issues are] so intangible and being on the committee for two years, I see our approach as very vague sometimes, and we don’t have a concrete and systematic way of solving problems...,” he said.

Coach K-atholic

He cites his past work to offer some suggestions for explicit improvements to the campus community. For example, Young said he facilitated community interaction last fall by having members of 10widely different student groups participate in a Habitat for Humanity project.

Right now he’s helping coordinate Duke students to participate in an American Cancer Society project and promoting a campus-wide online calendar.

Although much of his work has concentrated in service activities, Young said he sees a limit to the logic of community work. “People have a stereotype of Durham that it somehow desperately needs our community service...,” he said. “I think the biggest challenge for me as vice president for community interaction would be to

With the help of basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church is raising money the way the pros do. The church is putting the naming rights for a planned athletic center on the auction block. “If you know somebody who has a few million [dollars] and wants to name it... we can certainly work that into our equation,” he said.

Krzyzewski, chair of Immaculate Conception’s “Campaign for the Future,” opened a $3 million fund-raising drive at the church’s elementary school Monday. He will solicit local companies for the tentatively named Burch Avenue Center.

The center will benefit the parish and the community by providing large facilities for programming during and after school and over the summer. During his comments, Krzyzewski recalled his youth in a Polish neighborhood in inner-city Chicago. He met many lifelong friends at a community center like the proposed complex, he said.The facility will include basketball courts, meeting rooms, fields and a computer room.

Donors might also name individual fields and rooms.

Coach K struck a lighthearted tone about his team’s recent loss. “I guarantee I’ll be much more successful in my efforts in doing this than in my efforts beating St. John's and guarding Bootsy [Thornton] on Saturday,” he said.

Students discuss reasons why Colleagues praise Young’s campus rapes go unreported enthusiastic, energetic style wants to place blame on their friends.”

The numbers this year appear to be significantly higher than in years past.

So far this academic year, the Women’s Center has received 10 reports ofrape.

The statistics are tempered because they represent the number of women who reported rapes—even though they did not necessarily happen at Duke or even this year. Of the four rapes reported to the Women’s Center this semester, one occurred last summer and one in the spring.

Even fewer rapes are reported to police. Duke University Police Department Maj. Sarah Minnis said that from 1996 to 1998, Campus Police received a total of four rape reports. cussing rape on campus. “Ifyou’re interhis with the assailant and circle Students involved in organizing acting of friends on a regular basis, it makes it Rape Awareness Week said specific asdifficult to both tell anyone and face up pects of Duke and college culture conto it yourself,” said Trinity junior Ronit tribute to the underreporting—and sometimes acceptance—of sexual asRidberg, another organizer.

The result is that many students do sault. ‘There are a lot of situations that not talk about sexual assault.

ty sophomore. “It’s ugly and we’re in the Gothic Wonderland and who wants to think about things that are ugly?”

But Rabinowitz was unsure if organizers’ tactics could effectively start a dialogue. “I think giving ‘One out of four women are raped’ does not per se give the sort ofinformation people need,” she said. “A bunch of bright-colored t-shirts?

Great. I’m not planning on raping anyone; I prefer not to be raped. General awareness isn’t helpful in terms of general preventative strategies.”

The relatively enclosed social setting in the small undergraduate community adds even more complications to dis-

Durham relations.”

On race relations, Young says action is more important than discussion, explaining that students are disgusted with dialogue. “They just heard ‘diversity and ‘race relations’ so much, they don’t want to hear it anymore,” he said. As an example of more concrete action, he cited a report he submitted to the administration as away of following up on the community interaction committee’s race forums.

Young also has a unique vision for making the Intercommunity Council a more effective group. Because members are so busy, Young said he will make meetings less mandatory, allowing group representatives to skip meetings when the agenda does not concern them.

Huff said this idea takes a “shortsighted” view of ICC members’ interests in a given topic. “I don’t think it’s good,”

Huff said. “I think part ofthe benefit of ICC is having a lot of different perspectives at the table.”

Young sees himself as an unusually active leader, in contrast to what he sees around him. “A lot of the people at Duke are people who like to look for a really, really, really, really long time, when they promised to leap.”

Young also plans to focus on training underclassmen to be leaders on campus.

Huff, a Trinity senior, said Young will have to work on being a more assertive leader, but several of Young’s colleagues say he is ready right now.

“He’s always very helpful,” said Trinity sophomore Patty Chen, whom Young is assisting to coordinate a fall carnival that will showcase artwork from the Durham community. “Even when he’s not in a leadership position, he sort of takes a leadership role.”

Lucy Stringer contributed to this story.

Pratt’s artwork remains on display throughout region PRATT from page 3

His work is on display at other sites across the state—including six paintings at Brightleaf 905 restaurant and a sculpture and several paintings at Tyndall galleries in Brightleaf Square. An exhibition ofPratt’s work and private collection is on display in Raleigh’s Lee Hansley Gallery.

Deborah Pratt said these works will stand as a lasting tribute to her husband, particularly the sculpture on the Durham Arts Council’s lawn. “It’s a space that the certainly unites everyone, all

people, all races,” she said of the display made of granite cubes. “It’s a space that’s open to anyone. Just like him.”

Pratt was on sabbatical last fall and had gone to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts to paint. He was bicycling when he was apparently involved in an

accident. Although he was wearing a helmet, he suffered severe brain damage and several other serious injuries.

A Durham resident, Pratt graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass.

He enrolled at Duke in 1958 but finished his undergraduate degree at the San Francisco Art Institute—where he earned his master’s degree.

A memorial service will be held next Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. outside the Durham Arts Council building on Morris Street. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to the Emerging Artists Program of the Durham Arts Council.

Pratt is survived by his wife and six children. As Deborah Pratt said, “He made many beautiful works, but the most important works are his children and his grandchildren.”

Lazarus explained that as DSG president, he would, look forward to bringing the organization up to its full potential. “At times, I've been a vocal critic of DSG... a body that has such a capacity to work with and for the students...,” he said. “It takes a lot to actually step in and make a difference.”

and ice rink in addition to facilities like a health club and day care center, said David Hall, who is handling the project for Goodmon. “We want a vibrant place to work but also a place that remains vibrant outside normal business hours,” said Hall, who emphasized that plans were far from finalized. “If it’s just an office park, it will be dead at nighttime.”

Whether the concept comes to fruition depends on decisions by local leaders to support the project with public funds, specifically for parking to accommodate the complex’s patrons and estimated 4,000 workers. Without that money, tenants’ revenues cannot support the development. “No matter how sexy our, plan may be, it will fail without affordable, adequate, safe parking,” Hall said.

But financing for that parking has already gained political support from many local leaders. “The redevelopment of the American Tobacco complex is going to be extremely costly and there is a tremendous amount of square footage for redevelopment, but very little parking development,” said Ellen Reckhow, vice chair of the Board of County Commissioners. “I think we will need to participate at some level.”

City council member Erick Larson said he hoped community support for downtown development would generate support for funding. “Development on a brown field is always more expensive than development on green space,” he said. “There needs to be some public investment to offset the cost disadvantage.”

The development’s appeal lies partly in the longstanding wish for a reinvigorated downtown, where

and in her involvement with DSG throughout the entire year,” Frels said. “She approaches each task with eagerness and is innovative in achieving her goals.”

Johnson also feels there is a lack of interaction between the administration and student groups, and she would like to see that problem remedied; a picture-book directory might help facilitate communication, she said.

Among her other concerns, Johnson said she would like to see more advertising for the Young Trustee position. “People don’t know the Young Trustee position exists,” she said. “The problem is publicity. It’s hard to reach all students who may be interested. Once they realize it, the deadline may be passed.”

Huff said he did not consider this year’s decreased number of Young Trustee candidates a problem. “People who want it, know about it,” he said. “It’s a self-selective process. People seek it out and plan for this sort of thing, at least that’s been my experience.”

Johnson attended the Beaufort leadership retreat at the beginning of the year and is also actively involved in women’s issues on campus.

DSG’s community interaction committee, Johnson said, should act as a conduit for others’ ideas. “I think Community Interaction can do a lot on its own,” she said, “but I think it can do a lot more when it reaches out and works with other student groups to start initiatives.”

Richard Rubin contributed to this story.

roads are already in place and workers can commute in.

“We need to redirect growth to the central core area,” Reckhow said. “It’s a positive trend and very, very positive for Durham.” In contrast to suburban developments that draw consumers and workers to the city’s edge and require road improvements, much of the infrastructure for the development already exists, said Reckhow.

Two previous plans to revive the factory grounds have failed, but if this attempt is successful, it will be the second mammoth development in a year to come to Durham.

Construction has already begun at the Streets at Southpoint, a mega-mall off Interstate 40 whose offices, apartments and hotels will be designed to mimic downtown.

If city council members and county commissioners do allocate parking funds—a decision that could come within the next two months—Capitol officials will start the process hashing out other details. The project then will stand for a second, final vote of approval by both governing bodies. In addition to funds for park-

ing, Capitol has applied for federal and state tax credits that would finance 40 percent of the renovations.

Portions of the site could be under construction by the end of the summer, with tenants moving in as early as fall. One of those tenants could be the University, which currently leases office space in Goodmon’s Diamond View building overlooking the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Director of Real Estate Administration Jeffrey Potter said he would consider leasing more space in Diamond View 11, a twin structure that Capitol has proposed to build behind left field, or within the revamped complex itself.

For the project’s proponents, support from Duke and other organizations will help Capitol—and Durham.

“People refer to cities based on their downtowns,” Tennyson said.‘This could literally be the project that moves Durham from being in people’s minds analogous to the closed tobacco factory and changes it into being a city with a thriving downtown with an economic heartbeat.”

Dedicated to Dodson

Both

candidates for Duke Student Government executive vice president would bring poise, thoughtfulness and good leadership skills to the position.

Trinity sophomore Daryn Dodson and Trinity freshman Joshua Jean-Baptiste both understand the job’s requirements and stress closer relationships between executives and legislators.

However, Dodson’s experience on campus and his knowledge of the bylaws make him stand out. His conception of mentorship and his idea of creating an administrative blueprint would make him a valued leader for potentially confused younger legislators. Dodson’s open personality and charm will also make him effective at running legislative meetings and uniting potentially abrasive factions within the organization.

Jean-Baptiste, as a freshman, is simply too young to be paired with a potentially inexperienced DSG president. However, regardless of what happens Thursday, his energy, solid ideas and thoughtful presence will give him a bright future as a campus leader.

The Chronicle endorses Daryn Dodson for the position of DSG executive vice president.

Lauding Leonard

This

year’s field of four candidates for the position of Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction present four drastically different conceptions of the position.

It is certainly a difficult job to grasp—this vice president must tackle amorphous issues like race relations, campus inclusivity and the Duke-Durham partnership. In doing so, the vice president must bring together diverse constituencies such as employees, faculty, students and community members.

That being said, Trinity junior Rob Leonard has the most compelling vision for the job and the requisite experience to bring his ideas to fruition.

Through his experience with the Community Service Center, Leonard already has his foot in the door with community leaders and would represent Duke students well to employees and Durham residents alike. Instead of trying to “solve” the problem of race relations in 12 months, he will facilitate dialogue at multiple levels and work through dynamic programming to break down traditional campus barriers.

Leonard will serve in much of the same capacity that current Vice President Jeremy Huff served this year—a grounded, senior voice of reason on which the executives can rely.

Trinity sophomore Sean Young has tackled numerous small issues in his two years on DSG, and he shows good insight into interaction problems plaguing different student groups. Clearly, he would serve as a positive role model and a mentor for students on his committee. However, his conception of the Intercommunity Council is flawed.

The Chronicle endorses Rob Leonard for the position of DSG vice president for community interaction.

This past Saturday, I participated in a fantastic college basketball game against a great team in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Although St. John’s was victorious, I believe the true winners were the fans of Duke University,

Keohane should lobby to lower the drinking age Let Nan President Keohane use her bully pulpit to call for a change that would make a difference regarding the problem of irresponsible consumption of alcohol on campus: lowering the age for legal consumption in North Carolina to 18 years.

Eighteen years is the age for legal consumption of alcohol in most of Canada. At the University of Calgary—where I studied as an undergraduate —my peers and I were able to consume alcohol on campus

at two bars maintained by the students’ union and at mixers where hosts obtained a temlicense. porary alcohol However, that alcohol was dispensed only by a licensed bartender who had a legal responsibility to make sure nobody had too much to drink.

I would not claim that nobody ever got drunk, but there was nowhere near the opportunity for tragedy or near-tragedy that is likely to occur when consumption is not supervised by some-

one with a legal responsibil-

ity to prevent drunkenness.

Discussions during freshman orientation and small group meetings in fraternities and sororities will not always

be remembered at gatherings where everyone has a drink in his hand. The more effective solution is to make consumption legal and to put a sober bartender in every setting in which a drink is handed out.

Marketplace’s staff offers up responsive service With all of the recent unfortunate press circulating around campus, I would like to take this time to commend the efforts of James “Skip” Herrod and the rest of East Campus’ Marketplace staff for their great service.

I had the honor to work with Skip last year when I was a member of East Campus Council, and for the

academic year, Skip not only listened to the ideas of the student body, but implemented them as well. At the same time, the service on East is always service with a smile, and Skip makes sure things in the Marketplace are always running properly and in order.

Although I am not a fre-

days of Elvis. I’ll bet almost nobody has heard of this condition, and knowing about it now probably won’t save many lives. There is only one solution to the problem of alcohol abuse—individual responsibility. The problem with drinking at Duke is not ignorance.

There is a climate and a tradition for it. Duke has been trying to do something about excessive drinking for decades. So has every other university, and society at large, but efforts have not been successful.

The best solution is to change the drinking laws. You don’t see youthful intoxication in Europe like you do in the United States because drinking is not a furtive, illegal or taboo activity over there. Of course, I also think marijuana should be legalized; however, those laws aren’t going to change anytime soon. So again, what to do? Scare tactics will not work. Neither will pre-

tending intellectual discussions and healthful activities like Scrabble will stop it either.

All the University can do is admit that there is a problem—which it has done—and tell you whose problem it is: Yours! Take control of your own lives.

Other than that, adults can remind youths that dangers exist and that they are not immortal. Auden (a heavy drinker himself—among his other problems) had this to say: As the poets have mournfully sung, Death takes the innocent young, The rolling in money, The screamingly funny, And those who are very well hung.

So beware! Do your homework and don’t pass out. And stop pretending you don’t know better.

John McCain: a moralistic marauder The morality that advocates placing the interests of others above one’s own is called altruism. It is not a new morality—thanks to religion it has been the de facto morality for 2,000 years—but McCain promotes it with greater consistency than any presidential candidate in recent memory.

Alex Epstein On nearly every issue—from foreign policy to campaign contributions to abortion to smoking—McCain John McCain is not shy about expressing his moral takes the side of more government interference and vision for America. When he officially announced his less freedom for individuals in the name of the comcandidacy, he said, “I run for president because I want mon good. He is in favor of the United States interthe next generation ofAmericans to know the sense of fering in situations where our national best interests pride and purpose of serving a cause greater than are not served, such as in Kosovo. McCain wants to themselves.” Recently, while speaking at the College of ban “soft money” contributions, which would prevent Charleston, he was even more explicit; “There is nothindividuals from financially supporting politicians ing more noble than to sacrifice and serve our counwho have ideas of which they approve. Instead, the try’s cause, causes greater than our self-interest.” government would be left to dole out individuals’ For McCain, causes greater than one’s self can money to candidates, whose ideas they may or may take on any number of forms. “Every place there’s a not support. On the issue of abortion, McCain hungry child, there’s a great cause; every place believes that potential humans have rights, but an there’s a senior citizen without a shelter, there’s a actual woman doesn’t because her body is God’s great cause; everywhere someone is killing each other property.

If an One of McCain’s campaign slogans is, “The characindividual is morally required to serve others and the ter to do what’s right. The courage to fight for it.” state, then there is no reason for his freedom to be the McCain is not right—he is dead wrong—and must be government’s central concern. Instead, the government identified as such. Altruism, the moral code that should be concerned with the always undefined “socidemands sacrifice and suffering, has never been jusety” as a whole, sacrificing individuals for “a cause tified without an appeal to mystical spirits or to the greater than themselves,” whenever it determines the will of the public. When practiced consistently, it has needs of some individuals warrants this. had and can have only one possible result —death and

destruction. For a human to successfully sustain his own life it requires a process of thought directed toward production for his own benefit. In any social system based on altruism, the products of a man’s effort can be taken from him at any time, leaving him powerless to provide for his life and pursue his values. When government makes it impossible for the competent to survive, the incompetents it claims to be serving fare even worse. For two historical examples of the impossibility of life under such a system, see Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.

For those who doubt the validity of comparing

Adolf Hitler’s fascism to McCain’s altruism, consider the following quote: “It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation... that above all the unity of a nation’s spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and the will of an individual....”

This was not stated by McCain at a recent victory party; it was uttered by Hitler as he explained the ethical foundations of the Nazi Party.

Those who value their freedom should reject McCain and his deadly moral code. America was founded on the principle of inalienable'rights, not dictated duties. The Declaration of Independence states that every human being has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It does not state that he is born a slave to the needs of others. If McCain is elected president, it will be only a matter of time before political institutions follow his morality to its logical conclusions. It is truly a matter of life or death.

As VP, Leonard would work Lieberman proposes golf with Trinity Park residents carts for far parking lots

� LEONARD from page 3

Durham. “I think you need to have someone that can bring those two communities together, because on weekends especially, they’re going to be interacting whether you like it or not,” said Leonard. “We need to make that connection as positive as possible.”

With his connection to both communities, Leonard believes he can foster sound relations between students who live off campus and their Durham neighbors. He recommends implementing more widespread use of the off-campus housing email list to keep students abreast of concerns raised in the TPA board meetings.

Among his other agenda items, Leonard would like to use administrative assistants to help implement Intercommunity Council initiatives. Jeremy Huff, this year’s vice president for community interaction, said the committee is difficult to direct. ‘The frustration for me has been you can only do so much with it,” he said. “It takes an extremely strong leader to make something happen with ICC.” Leonard discussed the other two communities he feels fall under the auspices of community interaction: DukeDSG relations and student-student re-

lations. “DSG is constantly challenged to maintain close relations to its constituents. If people don’t feel that DSG knows or cares about their concerns it’s not doing a good job,” he said.

As far as student relations go, Leonard said the residential plan will undoubtedly prove a challenge in the up-

“This is just one plan that has to cover a lot of different groups’ interests.”

Trinity senior Maranda Whitener, Leonard’s CSC co-director said she was

enthusiastic about Leonard’s potential.

“One of [Rob’s] unofficial goals has been to connect various groups on campus, and I think he’s done a great job,” she said.

“He is good at following through and he gets things done.”

Huff, a Trinity senior, was also a DSG outsider and said Leonard is equipped to handle the transition. “[Rob] has enough

experience on campus and in general that I don’t think it will be a huge transition to make...,” he said. “He is one of the most committed and dedicated people I know.”

consider why we would do so,” she said.

“What are the important components that don’t fit into the current structure of the program, and is lengthening the week going to be the most effective way to fit those in?”

Pradhan also wants to connect DSG better with the Graduate and Professional Student Council. ‘They’re a huge part of Duke’s community,” he said.

“They can’t be ignored.”

Current DSG Vice President for Community Interaction Jeremy Huff said Pradhan has been an active member of the committee. T think Anupam has been a leader on the committee, but he’s been more of a quiet leader,” Huff said, adding that it would be possible for a quiet leader to hold the vice presidency. “I think there are challenges that he’ll face and qualities that he’ll bring to those positions that will make him effective.”

“Fate didn’t seem to be with us on that day, but it was with us the first couple of days,” coach Jay Lapidus said. “I was proud of the guys. We’re in the best position since I’ve been here to win a national championship, so I’m excited about it.”

‘They set the momentum,” Biro said. “That left the two teams out there, and we knew we could get it done from there.”

But Biro and Brooke Siebel faltered at No. 1 doubles, falling 9-7.

MEGAN MILLER and doubles partner Hillary Adams overcame a 5-2 deficit in their doubles match to claim the win in a tiebreaker.

“Thank God I didn’t decide the match,” said Biro, who lost both of her matches on the day.

“That’s why we’re a team.”

Fortunately for the Blue Devils, juniorMegan Miller and freshman Hillary Adams were in the middle of pulling a southFlorida-style Houdini act.

After trailing 5-2 early in the match, Miller and Adams slowly began clawing their way back into the No. 2 doubles match. Behind the hardserving Adams and the baseline play of Miller, the Blue Devil duo finally caught Miami’s Katia Bogomolova and Alanna Broderick at eight games all, forcing a tiebreak for the match.

And they wasted little time making sure that the marathon match ended in a Duke blue surge.

The two Blue Devils quickly jumped out to a 5-1 lead, silencing the rowdy crowd on hand and putting Duke well on its way to its first win since National Team in

Indoors last weekend.

“Megan and Hillary were in a zone; there was no chance for the other team in the tiebreak,” Biro said. “They got their stuff together out there; it was really impressive.”

At his current rate, the Tar Heel center will break the ACC record of .670, set in 1989 by Clemson's Dale Davis. Haywood is even more impressive in ACC contests, shooting .750 from the field and averaging 14.4 points per game.

� Williams denies rumors In a teleconference Friday, Roy Williams denied rumors that he will be North Carolina’s head coach next season. Rumors have circulated for nearly as long as the Bill Guthridge era has lasted, but the most recent fury was fueled by a quote in an Omaha newspaper saying that he agrees with former Missouri coach Norm Stewart’s line that coaches should move around before fans start getting weary of them. Williams says the quote was about 14-year Nebraska coach Danny Nee.

Swimming shows signs of life despite last place finish at ACCs � The non-scholarship Blue Devils fought for recognition and respect at the weekend’s ACC Championships.

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

At this weekend’s ACC Championships, seven of the teams were jockeying for conference supremacy. The Blue Devils, on the other hand, were just trying to show that they belonged in the same pool as the other seven ACC foes assembled in Chapel Hill.

While Duke finished miles off the pace of Virginia’s dominating first-place

performance, it held fairly close to Georgia Tech and Clemson, which fin-

ished sixth and seventh, respectively.

The Cavaliers led after all three sessions of the tournament, snatching a 41point lead after the first day which they eventually extended into an impressive 801-662.5 victory over second-place North Carolina.

Although Duke still wouldn’t have caught UVa even if it combined its score with Tech and Clemson, its ability to rival two of the conference’s programs was more than it could have asked for.

“Our team goals were to kick some ass basically and swim really well for us,” sophomore Chris Fleizach said.

“We wanted to try to show we belong in the division.”

Duke finished with 116 team points, 158 off the pace of the Tigers. Despite last-place finishes in all but one of the

relays, the Blue Devils hung close to the

Yellow Jackets and Clemson.

In the sixth event ofthe tournament, the Blue Devil relay unit finally broke through. Racing in the 400-medley, Duke’s squad of Fleizach, Justin Ward, Jack Newhouse and John Samotyj finished in a time of 3:28.76 for a seventhplace finish.

The only top-16 performance of the weekend came courtesy of Fleizach. In the 100-meter backstroke, Fleizach came in 13th place with a time of 51.48 seconds, more than two-and-a-half seconds ahead of teammate Ryan Harsch. “[Coach Bob Thompson] said we did

awesome, which we did do,” Fleizach said. “We had a lot of best times, placed a lot of guys in the top 16 and scored some points. For a non-scholarship program, we lived up to our potential.”

With four teams finishing close to 500 points or more, the ACC showed that it’s as top-heavy as any conference.

While the Tar Heels did their best to shadow the Cavaliers, third-place N.C. State and fourth-place Florida State were right there, finishing within 20 points of each other and not far off UNC’s pace.

‘The ACC proved itself to be in the top three conferences in the country this week,” Fleizach said. “For us to compete with some of these swimmers is really excellent.”

Worried Huggins rips cruising Cincinnati for complacency After Cincy’s nine-point win against Louisville Sunday, Bob Huggins criticized his team for losing its focus

By JOE KAY

Associated Press

CINCINNATI Another Conference USA championship is in hand already.

The only thing twice-beaten Cincinnati is playing for from here on out is a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

To a man, the Bearcats can’t wait for it to start. The head coach is just glad it doesn’t start tomorrow.

After a ragged nine-point win over Louisville on Sunday night, Bob Huggins tore into his players as harshly as he has all season. He used adjectives like atrocious, awful and stupid to describe how his team played in the second half.

Root notches upset vs. host Kentucky Duke-Florida rivalry renews this Saturday “We really had a lot of � M. TENNIS from page 15

As team veterans Root and Andres Pedroso also came out on the losing end, only Smith, ranked 43rd nationally,'and Porter Jones, were able to come away with wins at No. 2 and No. 6 singles, respectively.

Yet, the deciding factor was the loss in doubles play.

“It was really close,” Lapidus said. “It came down to Ramsey and Doug. We really had a lot of chances to put them away. It was very competitive. Fd say if we could’ve taken one point on two courts and changed it around, we’d have won the match.”

Last season, the Blue Devils also came up short against UCLA. The Bruins knocked off Duke 4-2 on its

way to the tournament title. This year wasn’t a repeat, however, as UCLA lost in the finals 4-3 to Stanford.

Friday’s opening round saw Duke capture a solid win against Kentucky. At the top seed, Root, ranked 38th nationally, upset llth-ranked Carlos Drada (6-4,5-7,10) as the Blue Devils cruised to a 5-2 win for the team.

“Kentucky was pretty strong,” Lapidus said. ‘They were a little better than I thought they were going to be.

I thought we’d get through them a little easier than we did. It’s sort oftheir home turf, it’s considered their home tournament, so they always seem to play well there.”

In Saturday’s quarterfinals, the Blue Devils received a strong challenge from Mississippi. As the singles split 3-3, Duke’s win on the doubles matches clinched the win with a little help from Root and Smith. The duo, 12-1 this season, won the tie-breaking doubles set by a count of 9-7 to assure the Blue Devils of victory and the chance to take on UCLA. ‘The Kentucky match and Mississippi match were about equal in terms of difficulty,” Lapidus said. “We haven’t played them much in the past, hardly at all since I’ve been here. It’s kind of ironic that we haven’t played them because we’re always at the same tournaments. It’s nice for us to get a win over a team at that caliber.”

And nobody had a hard time figuring out that with the heated rivalry with Florida ready to begin again at Duke Tennis Stadium Saturday, just pulling it out is a big order.
