The brand-new McGovern-Davison Children’s Health Center will open in April. Yesterday, Medical Center officials allowed visitors into the $3O million Duke Hospital wing for a sneak peek.
Thirty days after campaigning for Duke Student Government executive elections started, it is finally over. Trinity junior Jason Bergsman and Trinity sophomore Sean Young emerged as the victors in Wednesday’s run-off races and will become vice presidents for academic affairs and community interaction, respectively. “I’m absolutely thrilled with the outcome,” Bergsman said. “It was certainly a long, hardfought battle and it’s great to see it turn out so well. I guess the third time really is the charm.” Bergsman had defeated incumbent Drew Ensign, a Trinity sophomore, in the March 2 original election, but when the election was overturned by the DSG judiciary because of bylaw violations by the election commission, all the candidates were tossed back into a revote. In the second vote, Bergsman edged Ensign by three votes but did not gain a majority of all ballots, necessitating the runoff. Young, on the other hand, only beat Trinity junior Rob Leonard after a jump from behind. In the first, four-candidate election, Leonard won 36.7 percent of the vote, enough of a margin to give him the position. But in the revote, Young led with 36.3 percent to Leonard’s 30.9 percent, generating yesterday’s runoff. Young barely won Wednesday, garnering 51.23 percent and winning by a 33-vote margin. “I definitely think I do [have a mandate] because other-

wise I don’t see how I could have won by so much in the second round...” Young said. “I’m so excited and I’m really exhausted and I just want to get back to my normal life but I’m definitely more than glad this is over... and I can’t wait to get started.” Despite his initial win, Leonard was one of the candidates who filed a complaint against the DSG election commission after the March 2 election, saying that the election had been tarnished by the election commission’s failure to handle complaints efficiently and remove fliers from polling stations.

Task force begins Inspired nun slams death penalty alcohol discourse The renowned author of Dead Man Walking spoke at the law school By RICHARD RUBIN
A group of more than 30 students, faculty and administrators gathered early Wednesday morning to talk about ways to solve the' University’s binge drinking problem.
The Chronicle
With passion and spunk, Sister Helen Prejean captivated a law school audience Wednesday, tearing into the death penalty and sharing her experiences as a spiritual adviser to death row inmates. The Louisiana nun, whose 1994 book Dead Man Walking won critical acclaim and inspired a Hollywood movie, has become one of the country’s most forceful opponents of capital punishment. “What I do is help the American public wake up on the death penalty,” she said. She explained that even though the pace of executions has quickened in the last decade, most Americans have failed to reflect on the moral implications of the death penalty. “You get blue-haired grandmothers who say, T’m in favor of it. They deserve to die.’ That’s not reflection,” she said. Although it is important to maintain outrage at murder, Americans too often dehumanize murderers by seeing their lives as only a “freeze frame” of the horrible act they commit. “It’s easy to kill a monster,” she said. “It’s even easier to kill a monster
By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle
When people start thinking about alcohol at 8 a.m., there is surely a problem. And a campus-wide problem brought together a group of more than 30 students, faculty and administrators early Wednesday morning. At the first full meeting of a student affairs task force—designed to advise senior administrators on ways to curb students’ dangerous drinking—it struggled to define its vision. The group’s ideas—which addressed the need for a clear University message, broad student acceptance and creative prevention tactics—did not culminate in any direct action. Instead of coming up with a mission statement, the group named several themes that it will continue to discuss. . However, the group’s three subcommittees will continue to meet frequently, addressing their charges of cultural assessment and change, education and prevention, and intervention and treatment. Each will work to formulate both short- and long-term solutions to its relevant issues. The entire task force will meet again in two weeks to pick up where it left off yesterday. The University’s mixed messages to students were See TASK

SISTER HELEN PREJEAN, who wrote Dead Man Walking , related her experiences with death row inmates and victims’ families.
Prejean began her death penalty work in 1982, corresponding with Louisiana prisoner Patrick Sonnier. She said Wednesday that she never expected the letter exchange to bring her into the death house as Sonnier’s official spiritual adviser and witness to his execution. Several times during her speech, Prejean recited that date —April 5,1984—as the climax of her political and religious awakening. “When you See PKEJEAN

The pope’s pilgrimage to the West Bank had many features of a state visit By ALESSANDRA STANLEY N.Y. Times News Service
BETHLEHEM, West Bank Deploring the plight of Palestinians in refugee camps as “degrading” and “barely tolerable,” Pope John Paul II Wednesday blended his pilgrimage to the Holy Land with a momentous tour of a refugee camp and a stop in Palestinian-run Bethlehem that was, in everything but name, a state visit “No one can ignore how much the Palestinian people have had to suffer in recent decades,” John Paul told Palestinians Wednesday at the official residence of the Palestinian leader, Yasir Arafat. ‘Tour torment

is before the eyes of the world. And it has gone on too long.” It was a day that contrasted moments of silent, solitary prayer in
the places where tradition holds Jesus was born and later baptized and a solemn gathering in a refugee camp where the pope’s expressions of sympathy for Palestinians carried strong political echoes. At Arafat’s grand palace, the pope reviewed an honor guard in dress whites and greeted Palestinian ministers and dignitaries in a long formal reception line. “Only with a just and lasting peace—not imposed but secured through negotiation—will legiti-
mate Palestinian aspirations be fulfilled,” he said. The pope, who was meeting with Arafat for the 10th time during his papacy, has often expressed his support for Palestinian demands for a homeland. Israeli officials were quick to point out Wednesday night that the pope’s statements did not go beyond established Vatican positions.

Three law students at Wisconsin’s Madison campus brought such a suit and won a ruling from the federal appeals court in Chicago that the mandatory fees were a form of compelled speech that violated the First Amendment rights of the objecting students.

The 9-0 decision, in a case from the University of Wisconsin, was a surprisingly broad and decisive victory for universities on an ideologically charged issue that has roiled higher education.

Vandals damage Nobel laureate recalls building bomb 20 cars on West By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle
Campus Police officers discovered or received reon West Campus late Monor early Tuesday morning. Another one was night day reported vandalized on Central Campus. Although police believe the incidents are connected, there are no suspects in the case, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. The vehicles were parked in the Washington Duke Inn lot, the Edens A lot, the gravel lot on Duke University Road and a lot at 312 Anderson St. A Washington Duke Inn employee reported that between 11 p.m. March 20 and 6:15 a.m. March 21, eight vehicles parked there were broken into. One of each of the vehicle’s windows was broken out, totaling $9OO in damage'. Someone inflicted $75 worth of damage to a stereo console and stole a $3O cell phone charger and $2 cash from one of the cars. During the day Tuesday, five students parked in the Edens A lot reported that their cars were broken into

between March 10 and March 21. Two convertible tops, worth $250 and $BOO, were cut, but nothing was stolen from either vehicle. The left front windows of three jeeps, two worth $l5O and one worth $4OO, were also cut open. In one of the jeeps, someone had ransacked the glove compartment and inflicted $2OO of damage to the dashboard and $4OO of damage to the CD player. An officer noticed at 4:06 a.m. March 21 that a student’s vehicle parked in the 312 Anderson St. lot had been broken into. The window was worth $125. At 4:22 a.m. March 21, a Campus Police officer discovered six students’ vehicles and one employee’s vehicle broken into while they were parked in the gravel lot across from Chapel Drive on Duke University Road. Damage to the windows totaling $575 was inflicted. Nothing was stolen. Dean said he could not recall a rash of vandalisms or break-ins this large in nearly 30 years with Campus Police. “It could be the same person or persons, I just don’t feel one person was doing it by themselves,” he said.

By JONATHAN SHEETZ The Chronicle Val Fitch was right there in “South 10,000”, the main control bunker, for the first test of the atomic bomb. Fitch, winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize for physics and member of the National Academy of Sci-
ences, remembered his days at Los Alamos last night in a soft voice. “I thought the world would soon be over,” he said. About 75 faculty and students from the physics and math departments gathered to hear Fitch’s talk, titled “What Paces Discoveries in Physics: Close Calls and Near Misses.” Rather than discussing his Nobel Prize-winning research on the decay of neutral K-mesons or offering direction to young scientists, Fitch painted colorful anecdotes from the early days of nuclear fission. He drew a time-line from Gamow’s 1931 paper on the tear-drop nucleus” to the Frisch-Peierls memorandum/MAUD Report that convinced President Franklin Roosevelt to create the Manhattan Project. Starting as a young technician working on the Manhattan Project during World War 11, Fitch watched the gradual, methodical development of nuclear fission technology. “The realm of the universe can be separated into the known and the unknown,” he said. “We are nibbling away at the unknown in a very organized, systematic way.” Recalling that progression, Fitch marveled at the whimsy of fate. He recalled two important coincidences that shifted the balance of events to come. In 1938, he said, fate brought Otto Frisch and his aunt,
Lisa Meitner—both refugees from the Nazis—“while cross-country skiing in Sweden, to sit down on a log and work out the theoretical basis of fission—just in time for Niels Bohr to carry the news to the U.S.” Just as astounding to Fitch as this sudden revelation was a near-miss of the same understanding four years previously by Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. According to Fitch, if Fermi had paid heed to the criticism of a female colleague, he could have unleashed the powerful potential of nuclear fission in 1934. That power would likely have been developed by the most advanced physics laboratory in the world in 1934—in Berlin. Years later, Fermi wrote, “We should have paid more attention to [his colleague!.” Fitch stood still for several moments, lost in contemplation, after responding, “Thank God you did not.”

PHYSICIST VAL FITCH’S speech yesterday was part of a lecture series sponsored by the math and physics departments. In conclusion, Fitch said, “Nuclear weapons are the number one threat to humanity, I think.” He then answered questions from the audience, blending this message with personal experience. “At Los Alamos, when we tested the A-bomb, I remember an MP at our bunker—sent there to guard it or something,” he said. “No one had told him what was going on. I’ll never forget his face as the bomb exploded. He turned ash-white. None of us really knew what to expect.” Fitch’s lecture is the latest in a series presented jointly by the physics and math departments. The goal ofthe series is “to test the waters, and see what attracts students,” said Arlie Fetters, William and Sue Gross Associate Professor of Mathematics. Next month, the series moves to East Campus, he said, “In an attempt to attract more first-years.” The speaker will be Nobel Laureate in Physics Russel Hulse, recalling the research and emotion that led to his prize.

After many late night “would you rather” discussions with friends, Heimberg submitted the concept for an upper-level University Writing Course class assignment. ‘Thankfully [University Writing Program Lecturer Christina Askounis] did not scorn me for writing that sort of thing.” Heimberg said. “Everyone else was writing legitimate essays.” Askounis said Heimberg’s portfolio was not typical, but she enjoyed reading it. “Anybody who can make me laugh out loud in the middle of grading 1,573 pages ofend-of-semester portfolios deserves kudos, roses, champagne, a nice grade and publication,” Askounis said. But while Heimberg was writing up questions for his class, Gomberg was testing the material less formally. “During rush, there were all those awkward times when you never know what to say.

DSG debates Oak Pope meets with Arafat in Palestine Room revamping POPE from page 2
� During its meeting last night, the legislature
discussed contracting out the sit-down
restaurant but barely touched on the controversy over dining privatization. By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle
Two years after a controversial Duke Student Gov-
ernment referendum asked students whether they
wanted a new fast-food restaurant on campus, DSG almost unanimously approved a similar referendum last
night about a privatized replacement for the Oak Room, which has been on campus since the 19405. As a result ofthe resolution, which was submitted by Executive Vice President Rusty Shappley and legislator Jason Freedman, the question will be placed on the April 18 class officer election ballot. If the referendum passes, Dining Services administrators will pursue the possibility of bringing in an “independent, high-quality sit-down restaurant on points,”
according to the referendum. Although students will not be asked to vote on a specific restaurant, the referendum lists Taverna Nikos, Papas Grill, Outback Steakhouse, Pop’s and 411 West as examples of possible replacements. Legislators barely touched on the issue that raised the most thunder during the Wendy’s debate: privatization. If an independent restaurant replaces the Oak Room, only a handful of on-campus restaurants will remain University-operated and be staffed by unionized employees. After Freedman and Shappley reassured a legislator that the Oak Room employees—both students and full-time workers—would retain their jobs, legislators never revisited the issue. • “I want Duke to pursue this possibility, and I also want people who are opposed to voice their own concerns,” said Freedman, a Trinity sophomore, after the meeting. “I don’t share those concerns with them. If no one out there is opposed to it, that’s fine with me.” Even aside from privatization issues, several legislators disagreed with calling for a vote on the issue. Trinity senior Luis Villa objected to the proposal, saying that 1998 proved that a preliminary referendum is not the best way to handle dining issues. Two years ago, students twice voted overwhelmingly in favor of bringing Wendy’s to campus, and administrators negotiated with the fast-food chain for more than a year. But to the dismay of many students, the restaurant ultimately decided not to come to campus as a result of several technical issues and concerns about backlash from union supporters. “It will look like we’ve promised the sky and again we failed to deliver...,” said Villa, who worried that students would assume from the referendum that a new restaurant was virtually guaranteed. “[We’ll be] raising people’s expectations and making DSG look bad.” IN OTHER BUSINESS: DSG unanimously appointed Trinity junior Alexis Highsmith to the recently vacated position of attorney general. “I’ve always wanted to be in DSG..., but I never had the desire to be a legislator or one of the execs,” she said. “I was always interested in more of the behind-

Suha Arafat, the wife of the Palestinian leader, exultantly told reporters that the pope’s presence “is a clear message for an independent Palestinian state.” Mrs. Arafat, who converted to Islam at her marriage but also continues to practice Christianity, noted that the pope had not said so explicitly, then added, “but he spoke on Palestinian soil, in front of everyone, and in front of Israeli viewers—it was very clear to all of us.” At their final meeting Wednesday evening at a

The pope started the morning in solitary prayer at A1 Maghtas, a site by the Jordan River where tradition holds that Jesus Christ was baptized. Pope Paul VI visited the site in 1964, when it belonged to Jordan. It is now in an Israeli military zone near Palestinian-controlled Jericho. Tuesday, the pope had already visited Wadi al-Kharrar in Jordan, which some archaeologists argue has a stronger claim to being the baptism site. When he disembarked from his helicopter in Bethlehem, the pope bent down and kissed local soil in a copper bowl offered by two small children. The pope’s gesture is usually conferred on sovereign nations and was fraught with political implications.

Representatives clash on propriety of beer on points TASK FORCE from page 1 a recurring topic of conversation and drew much criticism for being contradictory. “[We need to hear] a clear statement, a vision from the administration of the kind of community that we
and they want to create,” said Trinity junior Eva Dubuisson, a member of Mirecourt Dormitory. But the group had difficulty pinning down a clear vision. One student pointed out that given the range of student interest and activity at the University, a onetrack approach would not be particularly productive. But the group itself did not reflect the diversity emphasized in participants’ rhetoric. The mostly-white task force included administrators, faculty and students, but most of the 12 students were affiliated with greek groups, selective houses or student government. Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Dickerson, who convened the task force, acknowledged the lack of diversity, saying that she will try to solicit representatives from more student organizations—including the National Panhellenic Conference, which represents minority greek groups—to serve on sub-committees. Especially given students’ diversity of drinking habits, task force members recognized the importance of drafting plans that would garner broad student support. “We need a plan that’s going to involve every single student,” said Jenny Michael, Trinity ’99, executive director of College Initiatives to Reinvent Campus Life. “You’re not going to get buy-in unless you get everyone else playing a role as well.” Although many participants advocated a clear University message, they did not necessarily support a stricter one. “[Perhaps we should take] a harm-reduction approach rather than prevention,” said Scott Swartzwelder, a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral science, “[although] it’s very liberal and permissive-seeming.” Liberal and permissive went over well with many students, who noted that a strictly monitored campus leads to more dangerous drinking. Trinity senior Jim Pinna, the Interfraternity Council’s executive vice president for greek affairs, said that even when the University provides some drinking venues, underage students without fake IDs must remain undercover in their habits. ‘They don’t have the opportunity to partake in those [places], so they’re forced to send one guy to [Alcohol Beverage Control] and come back with a couple ofhandles,” he said. But students’ ability to buy alcohol on points perplexed several faculty members and even students. “Places like the Armadillo [Grill] are universally

sanctioned venues where students can buy alcohol on points. We need to focus on what kind of message that sends,” said Trinity sophomore Brian McGinnis, a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. ‘When you have a keg party, you’re buying kegs from the University... Subliminally, what does a student think when he’s buying alcohol from the University?” Other students said that instead of loosening regulations, the University should try to promote a culture in which drinking is uncool. “We need a solid regime of different programming that would be alternatives to the programming now on Friday and Saturday too much,” said Trinity sophomore Porangui McGrew, president of SHARE. We need to establish a whole set of things... that would drive people out, get them to interact... and drive the emphasis away from alcohol.” Brad Bemdt, a program coordinator for the athletic department, agreed that more social options are needed to suit a diversity of student interests.
“I went to a big party school in the mid-’805... [but] there were a lot more programming things going on for people who did not want to drink, people who wanted to drink moderately and people who wanted to drink to excess,” he said, citing several sports clubs as options that non-drinkers used. Although some spoke about the importance of strengthening policies and regulations, Dickerson stressed that punishment should only be part of a larger package.
Many people suggested changes to the University environment, but Duke Student Government Vice President for Student Affairs Jasmin French questioned whether Duke—or the task force—would be ready for anything too drastic. “I’m still not quite sure how willing we really are to shake things up,” she said, “Are we willing to go outside the box?

Election officials counted run-off ballots manually Yesterday’s turnout was smaller than the previous two elections, with only 1,417 undergraduates voting, down more than 1,000 from last time. Overall, the winning and losing candidates—as well as the election’s organizers—were glad to put the 2000 election to bed. “I was disappointed, because I came within 18 votes of victory last time, but back out of that.” not use Scantron I’m glad to have the process over with,” Because DSG did ballots Wednesday, officials counted and Ensign said. “It feels very good to be done with this double-checked the ballots in the DSG ofthing,” said Shappley, who, along with fice.

She told of the cowardice she felt in 1984 when she considered approaching the families of Sonnier’s victims. This experience helped her realize that victims’ families—as well as the families of the inmates —all experience tremendous pain and need spiritual guidance. Prejean said she feels that public support for the death penalty is waning, citing surveys showing that Americans are becoming more like their counterparts in other industrialized countries. A petition circulating Wednesday gathered at least 100 signatures asking for a moratorium

something happens,” she said. The quest to alleviate suffering and injustice has motivated Prejean ever since, and she used Wednesday’s speech to highlight the flaws in the criminal justice system. Most glaringly, the capital defense system is sharply biased against the poorest defendants, she said. From her personal experience, Prejean told of incompetent defense lawyers who met with their clients only twice or failed to introduce mitigating circumstances such as lifelong physical abuse from the victim. Prejean also decried the justice system as racist, explaining that crimes against white people have always been punished more harshly than those against blacks. ‘When we had the death penalty for rape, you think it was for rape of women of color?” she asked. Using her horror stories, Prejean brought a powerful message to the law students in attendance, many of whom are already doing pro bono work for prisoners on death row but are also being wooed by high-powered corporate
on executions.

Unfortunately, Prejean said, politicians have failed to respond. She said she’s heard death penalty supporters Vice President A1 Gore and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton praise her book as “powerful.” “I used to think political leaders were like rudders, but now I know they’re like weather vanes,” she said. But Prejean remains undeterred, urging everyone to consider the benefits of life sentences without parole for murders. “We can be safe without imitating the violence.”

Privilege in politics The rise of fun-loving collegians A1 Gore and George W. Bush to the pinnacle of American politics speaks volumes about entrenched wealth and power in this country
The
Washington Post recently printed Vice President A1 Gore’s mediocre grades from his undergraduate and prep school days, and many of today’s college students probably breathed a sigh of relief. Gore’s anemic academic performance at Harvard provided hope to students who spend their sophomore years much like Gore did—“shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana,” according to friends cited by the Post. Similarly, Texas Gov. George W. Bush—Gore’s rival for the presidency—was a subpar student at Yale who, at least according to some reports, also had a fondness for illegal drugs. On the surface, Gore and Bush’s transcripts and their later rise to power confirm one of our long-held American beliefs: Anyone can become president, even after a feckless, reckless youth. Bright people who work hard enough can transform themselves into political leaders, no matter how late they become serious about the task. But a closer inspection of the presidential Candidates’ backgrounds reveals a continuing inadequacy in our democratic political system: The existence and influence of an overwhelmingly white, moneyed political elite. Bush and Gore both came from powerful political families. Bush’s grandfather was a senator, and his father was on his way to the White House during W.’s Yale days. Gore’s father was a longtime senator from Tennessee. Both families had the means to send their sons to clubby private high schools, and they were fed directly into the leisurely life of the Ivy League upper crust. Less fortunate presidents—including Bill Clinton, Harry Truman and Duke law school graduate Richard Nixon—got only one chance. If they did not excel in college, many ofthe doors to the higher echelons of the political world would have swung closed forever. But Bush and Gore could afford to be slackers, because their families’ money, prestige and name could buy them second and third chances to succeed in politics. This year, they captured their parties’ nominations largely because they had the backing of the political establishment. Their backgrounds do not make Bush and Gore poor candidates, but it is still somewhat unsettling that our choice is between political dynasties. The American myth of meritocracy is just that: a myth. The fact remains that despite our country’s democratic ideals, connections, family and inherited money still play a major role in determining our political leaders. The somewhat sobering lesson that would-be pols should learn from this year’s presidential matchup is that anyone can grow up to be president, but it sure helps if daddy sits in the Senate chamber.

Union would allow nurses to voice their complaints As a University employee and an International Union of Operating Engineers member for over 10 years, I would like to respond to an article in The Chronicle about Duke Hospital’s nurses’ unionizing efforts. Regarding Chief Operating Officer Brenda Nevidjon’s statements: 1) True, David Miller is not an employee, yet I am. I have seen the treatment under which some University and Hospital employees have had to operate. 2) As for the IUOE’s “agenda,” I, as a member, hilly support this agenda, whatever it might be.

The Chronicle needs to work with the facilities department for a while. Some management personnel in the facilities department have little desire to hear any “issues” or “suggestions” raised by some employees. I know of some employees who have chosen to remain silent instead of voicing their opinions so as to not suffer any repercussions. Yes, it would be nice to see management and employees work together, and there are some people in facilities who have attempted to do this. The only problem is that they are not afforded the job protection against outright dismissal that my membership in the International Union of Operating Engineers grants

My reply to her statements is in no way an attack upon her, as I am sure she performs her job at Duke Hospital in a most professional fashion. As for the Duke Hospital nurses—you have my, and my fellow union members, support and best wishes. Be strong and be wary, for the worst may yet come.

Athletic Department fails to meet student needs I am writing in response to The Chronicle’s March 20 article entitled “Wilßec Reinstates Earlier Closing Time.” As a law student with two young children, I now find myself unable to exercise thanks to the University’s apparent unwillingness to address students’ needs. Center director Bill Harvey’s concern about the added labor costs of $4OO per week—a total of less than half of one student’s annual tuition—is insulting. Although I under-
for referenced
stand Harvey has a budget, I find it hard to believe that three University officials could not come up with a more creative and flexible response. The statistic of 33 students entering the Wilßec each day between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. fails to consider students who enter earlier and remain in the building until well after midnight. This apparent manipulation of the figures suggests the athletics staffhad no interest in assessing student use, but
rather intended to quell the cries for extra hours by seeming to establish a valid trial. There appears to be considerable student need that the University is flatly ignoring. I am sorry I cannot share Duke Student Government vice president Bob Koch’s about “disappointment” Harvey’s decision. Outrage and disgust are the only emotions I can summon.

Inane columnist swims in ‘intellectual kiddy pool’ There are minor intellectual offenses, and then there are capital crimes. Being absurd and misguided were, up until recently, Trinity sophomore Alex Epstein’s only sins, and they were minor. But with his last column, Epstein enters a new realm of transgressions. Epstein’s piece (which is too inane to paraphrase) rests on an embarrassingly shallow understanding of altruism. Much like the social Darwinists (a camp he has no doubt visited), Epstein’s misunderstanding of a social principle transforms his work into a hideous self parody.
Epstein states: “When practiced consistently, [altruism] can only have one possible result —death and destruction. For q human to successfully sustain his own life, it requires a process of thought directed toward production for his own benefit.” This stems from a belief that altruistic behavior destroys altruistic genes, and therefore should destroy altruism altogether. What anyone knows—and what Alex is shamefully unaware of—is that sociobiology professor William Hamilton debunks all that he is argu-
for referenced column, see http:llwww.chronicle.duke.edu
/
ing. At the London School of Economics, Hamilton proved that altruism perpetuates itself in populations, never leading to the morbid ends that Epstein would pimp upon us. Priding himself as a cool logician, Alex will no doubt consult Hamilton’s rule as the mathematical proof of this truth. Until then, he would be well advised to stay in the intellectual kiddy pool—The Duke Review—and not muddy purer waters with his babble.

So what do you predict for Duke in the next few years? What institutional changes do you see on the horizon?...

Fm really excited to see what the campus will look like after all of the residential changes are done and all the buildings are built. I loved freshman year, and sophomore year, I was one of the few people who loved Trent. I had a blast sophomore year. It wasn’t about location for me, because you can walk down past the Medical Center and get to West Campus fairly quickly, and I had a lot of classes on Science Drive. I’ve been pretty displeased with the residential environment on West. I’ve never lived on West, so this is through my visits. I think it has improved a lot since my freshman year. I remember going to a party on West my freshman year and feeling that I was on LSD or something, where you are tasting sounds and hearing colors, because there were so many smashed people laying around, guys giving really stupid pickup lines to girls, the music blaring, people puking everywhere and I remember thinking to myself, “There’s no way in the world I’m ever living here.” I feel it has really settled down a lot, so I think it will be interesting to see how that all pans 0ut.... •

NB: Do you feel you have made a lasting impression on this University? JH: I don’t know. I like to think I made it a little bit better. I’m always really conscious of institutional change, and I know people come and go, students come and go, faculty come and go, administrators come and go, so it’s sort of silly to exaggerate—to yourself or others—your own importance to an institution. I like to think that this place is a little bit better by my having been here, and I definitely feel that I’m a lot better for my having been here.,..

Slumping offense comes alive to bury Tar Heels By NEAL MORGAN The Chronicle
Duke
attack 13 Duke’s unit knows it has 8 underachieved
UNC this season. Last night, they decided to do something about it. The Blue Devil offense exploded in the second half and rolled past No. 6 North Carolina 13-8 in Koskinen Stadium. Down 7-6 at halftime, the ninth-ranked Blue Devils (4-2, 2-0 in the ACC) outscored Carolina (6-1, 0-1) 8-1 in the half’s first 18 minutes and played stall-ball the rest of the way to clinch the win. “We know we’re one ofthe top units in the country, and we haven’t been playing like it,” said attackman T.J. Durnan, who led the way with four goals. “We know that as we go, the team goes. We’re the three offensive go-to guys (Durnan, Greg Patchak and Jared Frood), and if we don’t produce, then we’re not going to be winning games. Finally we all came out and produced the way we should be playing every game.” After upset losses to Loyola and Brown last week, Duke was mired in its first two-game reg-
ular season losing streak since 1996. Although still early on in the season, the Blue Devils called last night’s game “makeor-break,” stressing the importance of getting their team back on track. “Without a doubt in all four years I’ve been here, this was the most important midseason game I’ve ever played in,” Durnan said. “It’s been completely emotionally and mentally draining. It’s just the worst thing to lose. Our whole team just hates to lose. This should get us back on track.” Defenseman Steve Card said the Blue Devils came out “fists first” and played extremely physical lacrosse all game, fully taking advantage of their larger size. “We backed up the last two weeks; no more backing up,” Duke coach Mike Pressler said. “We had to bring it to the Heels. We’re at our best when we make it a football game. When we play that hard and that tough, we’re at our best. We’re not so much a skill team, but we’re a big, physical bunch.... That’s what we’re all about: the power game.”

Duke
But in the end, the fifthranked women’s lacrosse team, propelled in part by stifling team defense and a career performance by Kelly Dirks, proved to be too much for No. 18 Vanderbilt (2-4), as the Blue Devils (4-2) rebounded from their earlier upset loss at Princeton to defeat the Commodores 13-7. As upsets abound in the month of March, the team was again determined not to be a part of the trend yesterday. Duke fell behind 7-5 early in the second half, but with nearly 25 minutes to play in the contest, the Blue Devils began flexing their muscles. Duke reeled off eight unanswered goals to deny Vanderbilt of its first road win this season.
In a contrast as great as

the second half. The defense, porous in the first half, shut down the Commodores for most of the second half.
clouds over hung N.C. State 0 Duke Tennis Stadium all afternoon long. Not until the third set of the last match did the clouds part and the sun peek out. But for all the chill in the air, there wasn’t a bit of suspense. The llth-ranked women’s tennis team (10-4, 1-0 in the ACC) took an easy 6-0 win over N.C. State (4-7, 01) yesterday to kick off its ACC season. “I think it’s great that we bageled them because we haven’t done that all season,” freshman Hillary Adams said. “It’s great to start off the ACC season with a 6-0 win,” And if the Blue Devils, who haven’t played for over a week, were afraid of a Wolfpack upset, they didn’t show it. Megan Miller, usually the No. 1 seed, joined senior Brooke Siebel on the sidelines as the younger members of the team gained Duke

LIKE MANY OF HER teammates, Kate Kaiser warmed up in the second half, chipping in two goals to Duke’s eight-goal surge.
Instead of allowing Vanderbilt easy scoring opportunities as it did in the first stanza, Duke forced the Commodores to work just to get the ball across the restraining line. “We came out flat and unenthusiastic in the first half,”
Duke coach Kerstin Kimel said. “In the second half, we decided to go out and give our kind of effort, give Duke lacrosse effort. And that’s why the score ended up being [l3-7].” In addition to increasing the See DIRKS on page 18

Things didn’t get any less treacherous for analysts at the beginning of this season, when Carolina —ranked as high as No. 2 in early national polls and picked almost unanimously to win the ACC—began with losses against five of the first eight ranked teams it played. When Florida State walked away from the Dean Smith Center with a victory in an unimpressive game, the Tar Heels and their four-game losing streak were left for dead. But they weren’t.

Given-up-for-dead Oklahoma earns Ist trip to round of 16 By LIZ ROBBINS
N.Y. Times News Service
The Sooners’ team bus rounded the corner to the Lloyd Noble Center on campus in Norman, Okla. In the dreamy blackness of 4 a.m., the players and administrators were still numb from their upset over Purdue, the defending women’s champions. They woke up when they saw the parking lot lights, beaming a million-watt welcome. Then they saw two dozen fans and school employees holding balloons and

cheering, even though their charter flight had been three hours late. They saw their cars decorated with paint and confetti. And then Marita Hynes saw the
words. “There were these huge six-, seven-foot letters in white newsprint, taped up on the glass doors of the gym,” Hynes said Tuesday. “They read, ‘Sweet 16.”’ Hynes, Oklahoma’s associate athletic director, was overcome by the scene and the contrast. Ten years ago, the university unceremoniously dropped the women’s basketball program. Monday, the Sooners celebrated their first berth in the women’s round of 16. No. 5 Oklahoma (24-7) will face Connecticut (32-1), the top team in the country, in the East Regional semifinal Saturday in Richmond, Va. In the first East semifinal, No. 2 Duke (27-5) faces No. 3 Louisiana State (24-6). Oklahoma and Alabama-Birmingham are the only newcomers in the round of 16. Ten of the teams have made the Final Four before, with six having won national titles. Tennessee has won six crowns itself, three coming in the last four seasons. At the Mideast Regional in Memphis, the Lady Vols will play No. 4 Virginia, winners of the regular-season ACC title. The Oklahoma women’s team was not always in such prestigious company. On March 28, 1990, Oklahoma voted to cancel the program. Despite being nationally ranked from 1985 to 1987, the team finished 7-22 in 1990, drew an average of 65 fans at Lloyd Noble Center, and players had complained to administrators to replace their coach. The athletic department decided the program was not financially viable and irreparably troubled; instead, it would direct funds to the six other women’s sports. “We didn’t know anybody cared much about our basketball program,” Don Jimerson, then associate athletic director, said in 1990. Hynes cared. She was the director ofathletics marketing and promotions then, and is the only administrator left from that time. She lobbied hard to reverse the decision, while players filed grievances. The

Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, meeting during the Final Four, formed an angry front. Eight days later, the university reinstated the program. Sherri Coale, the Sooners’ fourth-year coach, was coach at Norman High School then and remembers the climate. “It was like, ‘You can’t do this,”’ Coale said. “The outcry was almost immediate and it was vicious and ugly and we all knew it was going to be reversed, so the university could save whatever face there was left.” Wednesday, that face is enlightened. “It just went from one extreme to the other,” Hynes said. Still, the program took a decade to rebound. One month after she was hired in 1996, Coale signed Phylesha Whaley, a 5-10 center from Texas, without seeing her play. Their initial season together, the Sooners went 5-22. The next year, Coale persuaded guard Stacey Dales, who had never been to Oklahoma, to leave Canada. The rebuilding had begun. This year, the Sooners won a share of the Big 12 regular-season title and were ranked 18th in the Associated Press poll. Whaley, averaging 22.2 points per game, was named Big 12 Player of the Year. “These kids were so courageous to come here,” Coale said. “They just believed in themselves.” At West Lafayette, Ind., on Monday, the fifth-seeded Sooners believed enough to erase a 17-point second half deficit. Now as a reward, they play the Huskies. ‘You get on a high,” Coale said. “And then it’s like, You just beat the defending national champions.’Yeah, all right! ‘And here’s your trophy: You get to play UConn.’ Well, thank you very much.” UConn, which was ranked No. 1 nationally for most of the season, defeated Oklahoma by only 16 points in Norman this past December in front of a record crowd of 10,713. An average of 2,544 fans attended this season, not the last sign of change in Lloyd Noble. “Fm trying to treasure it because this is the only year I get to feel like this,” Coale said. “The Sweet 16 is baggage-free, we just need to have the time of our life, and whatever happens, happens.”

The duo came into the game averaging 5.2 goals a game, but only mustered two last night. All total, the entire Carolina team managed just six shots in the second half. “They played harder and tougher than us; it’s simple,” UNC coach Dave Klarmann said. “They just outmuscled us, and we didn’t slide in a timely fashion. They’re big, strong guys. We need help, and we weren’t getting it from each other. We stood around and watched them score on us.” For Duke’s attack, last night was sweet redemption following three straight games in which the Blue Devils failed to reach double digits. Pressler has been challenging his attack during recent practices, but last night, the coach was all smiles. “This is the first game the entire year that all three attackmen played well,” Pressler said. “As a unit, they put it together.... They were underachieving prior to this. Today they played like the great unit they are.”

But Durnan scored three goals in the third and Duke took a 10-8 lead into the final period. A minute into the quarter, Card made the play of the game, sparking a 72-second, three-goal outburst that finished off the Heels. North Carolina had just taken possession when Card leveled his man, who had just received a pass over the midfield line. The senior defender snagged the ground ball and threaded a perfect pass to Durnan, who was waiting right in front of the cage for the easy goal. “In the second quarter, we couldn’t get on track because we kept fouling them,” said Frood, who scored two goals of his own. “We couldn’t get any momentum on offense because we were man-down so much.

Adams remained competitive before falling 4-6 in the first set. A calmer and more focused Adams, however, bounced back and took the next two sets with ease, 6-2, 6-1. “I decided not to get pissed off at myself and just play,” Adams said of her turnaround win. Bringing in the first wins for Duke among the lower seeds were loana Plesu and Prim Siripipat, who both took their respective matches without dropping a single game against their Wolfpack opponents. Freshman Katie Granson, at No. 4, took a strong 6-2 set before falling behind in the second by a onegame deficit at 3-4. Granson then tightened up her game, roaring back ahead 5-4 and finishing the decisive set 6-4. Erica Biro, tested in some unusually long games, nonetheless prevailed at number three, taking the match 6-0, 6-3. Kathy Sell, making her debut as top seed, had no problems either with a strong finish against her opponent. Sell’s victory not only clinched Duke’s win yesterday, but marked the 100th win of her Duke career. Sell became the 13th Duke women to join the 100-win club. Looking ahead to what could be the team’s 11th straight undefeated ACC regular season, Ashworth was more than satisfied with the team’s performance yesterday against the Wolfpack. Before we played today, we talked about setting goals, something they want to get better at during the match, Ashworth said. “Each of them set that and they did a good job at doing that. The biggest thing is becoming aggressive. When you play better teams, you don’t get a lot of opportunito win points. So when you get that opportunity, |eso hrst ball you get, you have to take advantage of it.”
