Data raises Breeden named Fuqua’s next dean admissions questions By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

An administrative report showed that one in five freshmen was admitted because of athletic or development connections.

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

As administrators push to admit more economically diverse and intellectually active undergraduates, they are also questioning an admissions system through which a large percentage of students are accepted due to direct influence from the Office of Development and the Athletic Department. At December’s Board of Trustees

meeting, University officials presented a report analyzing the benefits of four criteria used for admission: interest from the development office, which coordinates fund-raising efforts; interest from the athletic staff; a student’s contribution to geographic diversity; and a student’s ethnicity. The report was made available only to senior administrators and trustees until obtained by The Chronicle late last semester. Administrators told trustees at the board’s December meeting that one in five members of last year’s entering class would not have been admitted without connections to the Office of Development or the Athletic Department. “Each priority has been set for a good reason, but the overall result is that many of our undergraduates are less well prepared academically and personally to contribute to the intellectual atmosphere at Duke,” the report reads. Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education William Chafe, who is chair of the Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid committee, said that although the students might not have been accepted without interest from development or athletics, “this does not necessarily mean that these students are not prepared for Duke.” Still, in the report, members of Chafe’s committee recommended cutting the number of admissions spots influenced by the Office of Development by one-third and the number of spots affected by the Athletic Department by one-tenth. The report emphasizes that admitting students who bring Duke geographic and ethnic diversity should remain a priority. Development spots are allotted for a variety ofreasons—children of potential donors, celebrities and influential political figures, for example, are advocated to the admissions office by development officers or other key university figures.

University officials have tapped noted finance scholar and entrepreneur Doug Breeden to become the next dean of the Fuqua School of Business, President Nan Keohane announced yesterday. Breeden, a former Fuqua professor, is the founder of a successful consulting and money management firm and currently has an appointment as the Dalton McMichael Professor of Finance at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Provost Peter Lange said Breeden’s academic and business credentials make him well-suited to lead the school. “The [dean of a business school] has to be attentive to the needs of the professional market and the development of intellectual research in the field,” Lange said. “I think he brings strong knowledge of both.” The future dean said he wants to continue the expansion ofFuqua’s successful distance-learning programs and maintain its international reputation. Breeden will have to focus on a long-range plan that calls for financial development and an unprecedented pace of faculty expansion. “Duke and the business school are in exciting times in their history,” Breeden said.' “It’s going to be a real challenge to move fast and stay ahead of [our peers].” The 50-year-old received his mas-

ter’s degree and Ph.D. from Stanford University’s graduate school of business. Over the past 23 years, he has been a member of the faculty at the University of Chicago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Nacmura School ofAdvanced Management in Tokyo and Stanford and Yale universities. He also served as a research

professor of finance at Fuqua from 1991 to 1999. In addition to being a teacher, he is also the founder and editor of the Journal of Fixed Income. In 1982, Breeden left academia to cofound Smith Breeden Associates, Inc., a financial firm specializing in mortgages, mutual funds and management. The See DEAN on page 10

Duke survives rally in Raleigh By ADRIENNE MERCER The Chronicle

THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE

JASON WILLIAMS calls a play last night against N.C. State. The Wolfpack made a late rally before falling 84-78 at the Entertainment and Sports Arena.

Right before the game Duke 84 RALEIGH started, a quote was played to the ragN.C. State 78 ing crowd: “No one comes into our house and pushes us around.” In the completely packed Entertainment and Sports Arena in Raleigh, washed in a sea ofred, there were moments when the crowd actually believed that the quote was true. But in the end, the Wolfpack (8-5, 0-2 in the ACC) was indeed pushed around by the second-ranked Blue Devils (14-1, 3-0), loosing by a score of 84-78. Still, the win did not come as easily as expected for the Blue Devils. The first half was more of a struggle with streaks of potential that mirrored a similar matchup of the two teams last season. “We won a tough game,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “That was a very hard-fought game, one of many in this conference. We got exactly what we expected tonight. We expected State to play well and they did.” N.C. State’s Kenny Inge and Clifford Crawford broke out early for the Wolfpack to start the game with a driving layup by Crawford at 18:39. Four seconds later, Inge slam dunked the ball to give the Wolfpack an early lead. Duke co-captain Nate James took the lead after the game was tied 6-6 at 16:37 with a beautiful threepointer assisted by forward Shane Battier. “We have to score,” N.C. State coach Herb Sendek said. “No one is going to shut Duke out. They are just too good of a basketball team. We got the ball inside, but didn’t convert. However, I am real proud of our effort tonight.” Three minutes into the first half, Duke player Matt See BASKETBALL on page

Conservatives rally behind Ashcroft

The top GOP senator promised support for Bush’s choice for attorney general By ALISON MITCHELL and ROBIN TONER

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The Republican leader of the Senate served notice Wednesday that he had all 50 Republican votes behind Presidentelect George W Bush’s choice for at-

torney general, John Ashcroft, and warned that Democratic efforts to derail the nomination could poison the attempt to set a new cooperative tone on Capitol Hill. Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi, who will return to the post of majority leader when Bush is inaugurated later this month, staunchly defended Ashcroft one day after the withdrawal of Linda Chavez for labor secre-

tary freed liberal groups to concentrate and intensify their fire on the former senator from Missouri. At the same time, conservative groups, in a counteroffensive of Internet organizing, press conferences and phone banking, vowed to redouble their effort to build grassroots pressure for Ashcroft’s nomination. An array of conservative women’s groups planned a news conference in his support for today. The Rev. Pat Robertson, the president of the Christian Coalition, was to deliver a telephone message on behalf of Ashcroft to half a million supporters across the next few

days, according to Roberta Combs, executive director of the group.

As Ashcroft met with some of his former Senate colleagues to seek their support, Lott said he had tested Senate sentiment and was confident that Ashcroft would be confirmed. “I believe the Republicans are unanimously for John,” he said and predicted that the former Missouri senator would also win some

Democratic support. Indeed, one key moderate Republican, Sen. James Jeffords, RVt., came out in Ashcroft’s behalf Tuesday. A Democrat, Sen. Russell Feingold of Wisconsin, indicated after a meeting with Ashcroft Wednesday that while he will question him in his confirmation hearSee

Likud Party leader launches campaign By DEBORAH SONTAG

New York Times News Service

JERUSALEM

Ariel Sharon, the hawkish Likud

Party leader and the clear front-runner for the Israeli premiership, formally opened his campaign Wednesday. Wednesday night, Sharon sat flanked by Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister; Natan Sharansky, the pre-eminent Russian immigrant leader; Avig-

dor Lieberman, another Russian immigrant leader; Yitzhak Levy, head of the National Religious Party; former foreign minister David Levy; and former prime minister Yitzhak Shamir, among others. With the exception of Shamir and perhaps Netanyahu, it was a snapshot ofwhat would very likely be Sharon’s cabinet. Above them hung a large picture of Jerusalem

taken from the vantage of the Mount of Olives, and a banner: “Ariel Sharon, leader of peace.” Sharon has made it clear that he will consider any Israeli-Palestinian understandings reached at or since the failed Camp David talks last July to be void if he becomes prime minister in the Feb. 6 elections. According to an account printed Wednesday by several newspapers, he went even further: “The Oslo accord is an agreement that no longer exists,” he said Sharon, a pugnacious septuagenarian with a long, checkered career in public service, is leading Prime Minister Ehud Barak in the polls by a margin so large that Barak faces mounting pressure from within his own Labor Party to step down as a candidate and let his rival Shimon Peres, a former prime minister, run in his place.

Panhel seeks

unity with philanthropy By ANDREW ROTHMAN The Chronicle

With the help of some dedicated sorority members, the Duke Children’s Hospital became the Duke Children’s Carnival for a day late last semester. It was the first community service project sponsored by the Panhellenic Council, and it may be the start of a new trend for the organization, which has traditionally left service to its member organizations. “Panhel is the largest student organization at Duke, and it is important that philanthropy is one ofits focuses,” said Panhel President Kate Heath. Panhel-organized community service projects may even have secondary benefits for the group—it could prove way of promoting community among different sororities, for example. “One of Panhel’s goals for the year is to encourage more collaboration among all the 10 groups,” she said. Still, Panhel’s community service work is simply an addition to—not a replacement for—each group’s own activities, and the individual sororities will continue to plan their own community ser-

vice projects. Panhel co-sponsored the Nov. 5 reunion along with Families with Heart, a parent-patient support group aimed at helping children with heart problems and their ' families, and hopes to continue working with the group in the future. Children who had recovered from severe illnesses were treated to a fun-filled day of food, games and excitement while reuniting with the hospital staffers who had helped them during their frequent trips to the hospital. Panhel supplied people-power and paid for the food at the party. Three See PANHEL on page 18 &

BOWLING BALL AND PINS RECOVERED from the New Year’s Eve blaze will be washed and shined in order to prepare for the tentative spring reopening of the Durham AMF bowling center located off of 15-501.

Popular bowling alley burns Dec. 31 By SARAH McGILL The Chronicle

Campus groups used to setting up functions at Durham’s AMF bowling center will have to be a little more creative this semester: a New Year’s Eve fire that caused major damage has shut down the center for renovations. The flames, along with the smoke and water that caused the majority of the damage, gutted the building and left the electrical equipment ruined, said Darryl Brunson, a managing partner at AMF. Brunson was summoned to the scene following the successful evacuation of the 40 or so patrons bowling that night. The cause of the fire was electrical, said Edward Reed, Durham County fire inspector, who cited his colleague Harold Boyd’s report of the incident. ‘The fire happened kind of fast because

the fire got up to the ceiling area,” Reed said. “But we had it knocked down with no problem.” The center’s 2,000 or so bowlers—-1,000 of whom are league bowlers have been forced to move to other local lanes, such as AMF’s sister house in Raleigh or Mardi Gras on Farrington Road, or wait until renovations are complete 60 to 90 days from now. The center’s closure would have been longer had it not been for the fire’s serendipitous timing, said Brunson. AMF was in the midst of major renovations already. After a holiday break, construction was set to resume Jan. 2. The University’s own physical education bowling class, held traditionally at the AMF, has moved to East Durham’s Village Lanes temporarily. “I’m hoping that it won’t affect the —

students at all,” said Jessie Bowen, who teaches the class. “It’s not much further than where we were before.” Renovations will include an upgrade of the lanes’ computers, a more userfriendly concourse, new lighting and a more contemporary color scheme. “I think it’s going to end up being great for the area,” said Brunson. “It was an old landmark and now we get to bring it up to speed with all the modern

bells and whistles. I think it’ll give us

the opportunity to serve our customer a lot better.”

Senior Barry Spatzer, who first started bowling with his father at age five, said he was disappointed when he heard about the fire. Spatzer is enrolled in the University’s bowling course. “Having to travel farther—it’s doable but it still upsets me,” he said.

Survey: Perceptions of Durham worse than reality The Chronicle

In its summer 2000 college rankings, The Princeton Review named Duke as the school with the most “strained towngown relations.” However, a recent study by public policy students may suggest that the ranking, which is based on student input, is misleading because students’ concerns are unfounded. “We knew that Durham had a bad rap with Duke students and we tried to get to the bottom of it,” said senior Ashley Bowling, one of four undergraduates who worked on the project. The survey asked about students’ perceptions of Durham before and after arriving as freshmen, and the various influences that contributed to their subsequent opinions of the city. The students found that those opinions do not accurately reflect crime in the city. “Duke is generally very safe,” said Lieutenant Eddie Sarvis of the Durham Police Department. Student apprehension is “more perception than based on facts,” he added. Many of the survey’s respondents, mostly freshmen, cited crime around East Campus as a reason for their unease with their surroundings. Although the survey notes that Durham’s crime rate is 15 percent higher than the national average, the city has below-average rates of homicide, aggravated assault and forcible rape. Its robbery and burglary rate are higher. Sarvis said that, in fact, most of the skirmishes be-

tween Duke students and Durham residents are due to parties thrown by students living off campus.

“Whenever college students are living around professionals who have to get up the next morning, there will be clashes, and we try to deal with those,” he said. John Burness, Duke senior vice president for public affairs, added that crime in the city tends to be in areas farther

away from campus.

Other students cited economic impoverishment as a reason why they avoid Durham. According to the survey, however, Durham has the top wage rate in the state. It has both a lower percentage of blue-collar workers than the state average, and approximately the same percentage of white-collar workers as Chapel Hill. Thr that negative student stems from the soc' patchwork of neighbf

is the conflicting message that the University sends its students—urging them to be active community participants while suggesting that they also take a heightened interest in their personal security. Sam Miglarese, Duke’s Assistant Director of Community Affairs, said constantly stressing safety and crime prevention can lead students to be more wary of the city than necessary. “We are sensitive as an institution to remind students that they are in an urban area, but it’s not the same situation as at Columbia or Yale, for example, where the crime is right adjacent to the campus,” Miglarese said.

Utah attempts to claim N.C.’s newest congressional seat From staff reports

North Carolina’s newly apportioned congressional seat could be in danger if Utah wins a complaint against the U.S. Census Bureau. Gov.

Carolina announced Monday that frigid temperatures and high wholesale prices for natural gas are responsible for the increases in heating costs. This month’s bills, for service in December, are starting to arrive in customers’ mailboxes. December 2000 was 37 percent colder than normal, Piedmont officials said. “No one could have forecast the severity of the cold weather this winter and the record high wholesale prices for natural gas,” said Stephen Conner, a spokesperson for Piedmont, which serves 690,000 customers in the Carolinas and Tennessee. Wholesale increases in the price of natural gas led Piedmont to raise its residential rates about 50 percent over the past year. The company doesn’t expect its high wholesale costs “to last forever,” but it sees no new supplies coming to market in the immediate future.

The Ottoman Empire spanned acros. ;t from the late medieval to the modern era. From 1300 to 1750, the Ottoman state grew from a frontier principality to a world empire. In many ways, its history was a dress rehearsal for the emergence of the modern Middle East. The course begins with the period of religious wars and tribalism, examines state building and the social conflicts it produced, and focuses especially on the dispute between religious forces and the ambitions of the state. As anyone who travels to Greece, Eastern Europe, or the Middle East knows, the Ottoman Empire was an enormous force in Mediterranean History.

Administrators said hiring faculty and raising revenue for the school will be among the new dean’s greatest challenges. “Meeting the hiring goals and the development needs outlined in the strategic plan requires high standards and a lot of energy,” Lange said.

Liberal interest groups push for Senate to reject Ashcroft � ASHCROFT from page 2 ing about issues like racial profiling and enforcement of civil rights laws, he is inclined to support him. And Bush advisers said the president-elect would fight vigorously for Ashcroft, unlike Chavez, who did not give Bush or his aides early warning that she had allowed an illegal immigrant to live with her in the early 19905.

“He’ll fight the Ashcroft fight because that’s about his right as the president-elect to nominate an attorney general whose conservative ideology is very much like his own,” a Bush adviser said. With liberal groups hoping to build a public groundswell against Ashcroft because ofhis conservative position on abortion, the death penalty and federal judgeships, Lott worked to turn Ashcroft’s pedigree as a religious conservative into an asset and to put the Democrats and their allies on the defensive. “A concerted effort to ‘bork’ John Ashcroft would not be well received,” Lott said in an interview with a small group of reporters, “And I do not believe his Democratic Senate colleagues would be inclined to

do that. It would really sour a major opportunity that we have here now to work together for a positive agenda for the American people.” Ever since Robert Bork, a Reagan nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, was defeated, his name has become synonymous with partisan warfare. Lott, who said he wanted the Senate to begin confirming selections on inauguration day, Jan. 20, foreshadowed the defense of Ashcroft that is likely to come when hearings open next week. “One of the things they criticize about him is his

faith,” he said, referring to Ashcroft’s opponents. “He is a man who feels very strongly about his faith.” He said that Ashcroft’s religious convictions meant that he would not, for example, abide those who attack abortion clinics. “That is totally alien to some of his fundamental principles,” he said. Democrats said they needed to explore whether Ashcroft could enforce laws with which he disagreed. “There are legitimate inquiries about how Senator Ashcroft will do the job as attorney general and if they

are done in a fair-minded way, nobody should take umbrage,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who sits on

the judiciary committee. Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, said, “I’m not Trent Lott and I’m not counting as he is, but I don’t think this in any shape or form is over.” Leaders of last year’s Million Mom March against gun violence said Wednesday the group would begin an effort to mobilize its 250 chapters in 46 states against the appointment. In a telephone news conference, Mary Leigh Blek, the president of the group’s board of directors, said Ashcroft’s opposition to gun control had prompted the group to oppose him. But even as the left mobilized, so did the right. Several ad hoc coalitions have formed on the right to defend Bush’s cabinet selections, and conservative groups like the Traditional Values Coalition and the Christian Coalition say they have begun grass-roots drives to put pressure on Democrats and any wavering Republicans.

in Masculinity Undergraduate course for Spring 2001

Offered by Visiting Professor Anne Garrela L1T125.01 ACES #7251 Cross-listed with Romance Studies Tues/Thurs 9:10-10 In Art Museum 1 Boys will be boys, but when were men men? From the Regence to Romanticism, from turn of the century decadence to the interwar decades, and all the way to the contemporary moment, French culture has registered the traces, symptoms and expressions of a recurring crisis in masculinity. A threatened masculine identity, a nostalgia for a paradise lost when social arrangements of gender roles and definitions were (supposedly) peacefully ordered, representations of feminine figures run amok and undermining the foundations of civilization itself can be encountered in novels, essays, paintings, movies, medical tracts, and political discourses at certain key points in French history. This course will attempt to replace these episodes of malaise in their historical context and analyze its symptoms and their expressions. Readings will include works or excerpts from works by: Saint-Simon, Crebillon, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Musset, Balzac, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Gourmont, Rachilde, Lacan, Bataille, Sobers, Houellebecq. While the course will be centered on the French manifestations of the crisis, comparisons with American, English or German cultural expressions of it might be introduced according to students’ areas of interest and research.

Anne Garreta taught from 1988 to 1995 in the Romance Studies Department of Princeton University. She is currently teaching French literature at the University of Rennes, France, specializing in the areas of 17th and 18th C literature, queer theory, and Computer & Literature. She has written two novels in French and published articles on Jean-Jacques Rousseau and on gay and lesbian studies. See our website for more information: http://www.duke.edu/literature/ugrd.html

What kind of first lady will Laura Bush be?

The DSG resignation Daryn Dodson’s decision to resign from the position of executive vice president may help the organization conduct business more efficently, but at what cost?

choosing to step down from his position, Duke Student Government Executive Vice President Daryn Dodson made a decision that promises to help the organization as a whole, at some personal expense to his reputation. Facing ever-increasing scrutiny of his performance, and under intense pressure from his fellow executive officers, Dodson made a wise decision to resign his current post and assume a different position. Hopefully, Dodson’s resignation will foster greater efficiency within DSG, as well as allow him to assume a role better suited to his abilities. Despite his willingness and desire to serve as executive vice president, Dodson’s performance in the position proved that he could not handle the rigors of the office. His inability to master DSG’s parliamentary procedures—which are essential to running the organization’s already-lengthy meetings smoothly—was among many serious frustrations DSG members had with the organization. While Dodson’s record in other aspects of the position—such as secretarial duties and helping legislators with their semester projects—was mixed, his failure to conduct DSG meetings was his most serious liability. If anything, this situation underscores the importance of having an executive vice president who fully understands the organization’s parliamentary procedures. However, the fact remains that Dodson was elected to his former position by the student body. While students should be aware that mastery ofrules and procedures is a principal component of the executive vice president post, it is not the only one. By encouraging Dodson to resign, DSG is making an extremely liberal interpretation of the mandate of the student body. By replacing an elected official with an appointee, DSG indicates that efficiency—and not necessarily the will of the voter—is its priority. For their part, Dodson’s fellow officers have set a dangerous precedent, and perhaps inaugurated a standard which they themselves cannot meet. Dodson was not the only DSG official deserving greater scrutiny, nor is he the only one to have been ineffective on the job. If forced or highly encouraged resignations are the DSG leadership’s preferred management style, the remaining officers—and the new appointee—should be willing to step down themselves when faced with evidence of professional ineptitude. The current DSG officials would do well to remember the metaphor of the glass house. For by allowing—and encouraging—this prominent mid-year resignation, these leaders have thrown the first stone. And they can be sure that an increasingly skeptical, frustrated and disinterested electorate will be watching the rest of them all the more closely as a result.

Guest commentary Helen Thomas Laura Bush, America’s incoming first lady, appears poised, gracious, content within herself. She definitely doesn’t seem likely to rock the boat. If she fulfills the traditional role of the first lady, she will assure public affection but not necessarily an important place in history. Bush will find everything will be done for her in the White House. Her every wish will be a command. But she can’t just sit there. She has to DO something. I have no doubt that she will rise to the occasion—as did all her modem predecessors—and pick a do-good project to focus on. As the first lady of Texas, Bush has some clue about what lies ahead. But the scope of her duties in Texas were on a much smaller scale than what she faces as the wife of the president of the world’s only superpower. She probably won’t lack for advice from her mother-in-law, Barbara Bush, a former first lady who ardently wanted her son to become the nation’s 43rd president. As a librarian, Laura Bush’s biggest claim to fame is her sponsorship of the very successful annual Texas Book Festival in Austin. That’s interesting because her husband likes to quip that he read a book, ONCE. Her mother-in-law made national literacy her main focus during her years in the

White House. It seems that the Bush women’s emphasis on literacy didn’t rub off on either President George Bush or President-elect George W. Bush, both of whom are known for their linguistic lapses. But that’s another story. My point is that Laura Bush could take heed of the late Muriel Humphrey, wife of Hubert Humphrey, who when asked why she wanted to be first lady, replied: “Because I can wave a magic wand.” The new first lady will have to decide where she wants to use that wand. In her style, Bush is likely to follow in Barbara Bush’s footsteps. The former first lady refused to say whether she supported abortion rights during her husband’s tenure in the White House, undoubtedly fearing it would jeopardize his political chances with the Christian right. But shortly after she left the White House, she acknowledged she favored abortion rights. Some Republican first ladies—like Betty Ford —were willing to stick their necks out on the controversial issue at a time when official GOP policy was opposed to abortion rights. Her honesty and courage became her mantra.

Feisty Barbara Bush, who definitely has a mind of her own, used to tell reporters: “I think what George thinks.” But she didn’t always duck and weave. I thought it was great when she spoke her mind, except for the time she warned Hillary Rodham Clinton during Clinton’s first visit to look over her future home, the White House: “Avoid the press like the plague.” Clinton took Bush literally and gave the White House press corps the widest possible' berth. She slipped up by trying to be co-president and insisting on having her office directly over the Oval Office. Both Bess Truman and Mamie Eisenhower were beloved public figures because of who they were more than what they did. They were called “the boss” by their husbands and had no personal public aspirations. Eleanor Roosevelt set the standard for the modem activist first lady and no one has matched her for walking where angels feared to tread. She was the eyes and ears ofher polioafflicted husband, Franklin Roosevelt, traveling to poverty-stricken areas to show the Roosevelts’ concern for the jobless during the Great Depression. She also visited battlefields during World War 11. All the other first ladies ofrecent times have made their own contributions to the nation, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis restored the White House to colonial-era elegance; Lady Bird Johnson’s national beautification program lives on; Pat Nixon promoted volunteerism; Betty Ford backed the Equal Rights Amendment; Roslynn Carter focused on mental health; and Nancy Reagan told kids, “Just say ‘no’ to drugs.” Laura Bush will learn as Barbara Bush did, much to her distress, that she will be on camera constantly.

Everything she wears will be closely scrutinized and often criticized. New York’s high fashion sharpshooters already have targeted her Houston-designed wardrobe. In reacting to the public spotlight on her wardrobe, Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Sometimes I feel like I am dressing the Washington Monument.” I once complimented Barbara Bush on the long blue velvet evening gown she was wearing at a state dinner. “Same old dress,” she quipped, “I wore it once before.” Laura Bush won’t ruffle any feathers. But if she wants to make her mark in White House history as the others before her, she should look all around to see where her magic wand could make a difference with Americans.

A pardon for Leonard Peltier? Letters from the left

Mumia the hero? The right side' campus

John Zimmerman Ben Weller ;t month in office, President Bill Clinton L is busy trying to leave his mark on American politics before President-elect George W. Bush takes office on Jan. 20. Peace in the Middle East seems unlikely, at least with the proposals so far laid forth by the Clinton administration, and protecting the environment seems fruitless in the face of the onslaught to come under Bush and Cheney. Clinton has, however, used his executive powers to grant clemency to a number of individuals. Among those released under Clinton’s most recent clemency offers are prominent Democrats and business leaders, including close associates of the Clintons. While white-collar criminals and friends of the Clintons are being pardoned, one man continues to wait for clemency, and Clinton is perhaps his last chance for freedom. Leonard Peltier has spent over two decades in federal penitentiaries for the alleged murder of two FBI agents during a shoot out between the FBI and members of the American Indian Movement in 1975. After an illegal extradition from Canada, and a trial before an all white jury in North Dakota, Peltier was sentenced to two life terms. Peltier’s case has generated enormous protest from human rights groups, foreign governments, Native American activists, and world leaders like Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. Leonard Peltier, according to many, is a political prisoner, a prisoner of the Indian Wars which, contrary to popular belief, did not end when the last band of Sioux was slaughtered by government troops at Wounded Knee in 1890. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Native Americans like Leonard Peltier were fighting, often militantly, for American Indian land rights. The American Indian Movement was at the forefront of this struggle, and it soon became the primary target of the PBFs secret COINTELPRO operation—designed to destroy dissident groups through subversion, intimidation and terror. The war waged by the FBI against the American Indian Movement and other groups left uncounted casualties. Many died. Others, like Peltier, were railroaded into prison. Peltier’s trial was a mockery of the American “justice” system. He stood before an all-white jury and a judge notorious for bigotry against Native Americans. Numerous witnesses for the government later claimed that they had been coerced by the FBI into testifying against Peltier. Ballistics reports and other defense evidence were often kept from the jury, through the collusion of the judge, prosecutor and the FBI. The sheer magnitude of injustice which occurred during Peltier’s trial has now been fully exposed. Even the prosecutors have stated, “We can’t prove who shot those agents This statement alone provides the reasonable doubt that should set Leonard Peltier free. Still, he remains in prison as a scapegoat for the FBI, and as a warning to others who may try to assert their rights. The movement to free Leonard Peltier has never been closer to success, yet it has never faced such powerful opposition. Recently, over 500 FBI agents demonstrated at the White House, urging Clinton not to grant clemency to Peltier Peltier’s freedom now rests in the hands of the president, and a mass movement in support ofclemency is needed to counter the maneuvering of the FBI to keep him locked away. The next round of clemency offers will probably come immediately before Clinton leaves the White House, so it is crucial that he hears our support for Peltier in the next week. Call the White House at 202-456-1414 and voice your support for Peltier. His freedom depends on our action. For more information on Leonard Peltier and American Indian issues today, read Peter Matthiessen’s In the Spirit of Crazy Horse or visit www.freepeltier.org. ”

But the case of Mumia is pathetic not just because of his obvious guilt, but because it is so common today. There are plenty of liberals and blacks who could be called heroes, but they are passed over in an attempt to make martyrs out of obviously guilty criminals. This will continue to happen as long as liberals see themselves and everyone they identify with as victims. Instead of accepting responsibility and being proactive, they blame the ever-present “system” or a conspiracy. This victimization only weakens them as a group, and does nothing to advance their agenda. In the meantime, leftists need to be more selective in who they put on a pedestal. Cop-killers are neither heroes nor victims—no matter how liberal they are. John Zimmerman is a Trinity junior.

Choosing the road less traveled On the prowl Kelly Woo

I had a lot of plans and dreams. I wanted to be a better student, study abroad in Spain, read more American literature, get better in science and math, and more. Some of them happened, most of them didn’t. I’ve also been asking myself, what if I went to UNC instead of Duke? Or what if I had left North Carolina to go to college? What ifI had studied abroad for a year, as I once intended? What if I had never joined The Chronicle? Some of you may be asking similar questions of yourself. And the answer usually is, you and I would be a very different people, but not necessarily better people. Regret isn’t about wanting to rewind your life so that you can choose differently. It just means knowing the what-ifs, and still being happy with what you have. More importantly, regrets function as a reminder of what you can still do. I can still read more American lit or get straight A’s this semester. I to could study abroad, though want to. not under Duke’s auspices. I

Over winter break, some friends and I watched the movie “The Family Man.” In it, Nicholas Cage is a highpowered investment banker who receives a dose of“It’s a Wonderful Life.” He gets to see the life he could’ve had, if he had never broken up with his old girlfriend. I love movies like ‘The Family Man” or “It’s a Wonderful Life” or “Sliding Doors,” because they usually make me think about the thousand and one lives I’m living in parallel universes. It’s I might not be able change what like those “Choose Your own Adventure” books I read as a Vve done.. .and I wouldn’t kid: Depending on which page might not be able to change what I’ve done these past four you turn to, the story is different. Of course, I always liked years and I wouldn’t want to. to re-read those books until I had exhausted all the out- But I can make choices that affect the future, choices comes. Anyway, “The Family Man” got me thinking about that are informed by ones I’ve made in the past. We all try to map out what may come ahead in the road the lives I could’ve had, ifI had chosen differently in any number of situations, as small as whether I turned right of life. We like to plan, guess and fantasize about the or left at a fork in the road. future. But the road of life is incredibly curvy, with Some people would call this regret and say that I unknown obstacles and joys lying around the comer. There should live without any. I never really believed that you are abundent options at any moment of your life, and with shouldn’t have any regrets. Regret is a necessary part of those possibilities comes regret. But things don’t always life that shows you the weight and opportunity costs of work out the way you planned. So if I’ve learned anything these past four years, it’s to expect the unexpected. the choices you made. I’ve been thinking a lot about my regrets lately because I’m graduating in a few months. Four years ago, Kelly Woo is a Trinity senior and senior editor of I was waiting for Duke to tell me yea or nay. Back then, The Chronicle.

The origins and development of the revolutionary and experimental cinema in Russia during the last years of the Empire and after the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks in 1917.

This course introduces students to the unique contributions Russian culture has made to world culture. Today, as Russians struggle to find and define a new, post-Soviet identity for themselves, this course is more relevant than ever to our understanding of who the Russians are.

Rus 167.08: The Devil in Russian Literature Instructor: Maria Carlson

Courses

Tuesday/Thursday 2:15-3:30

The purpose of this course is to acquaint the students with the enormous symbolic and metaphorical system that surrounds the image of the Fiend and to trace the figure of the Devil in his various manifestations through Russian folklore, culture, and literature.

Rus 183/283: Post-Stalinist and Contemporary Soviet Literature Instructor: Thomas Lahusen

Thursday 3:50-6:20

When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, it seemed that a few years of economic, political, social, and cultural "shock therapy" would be sufficient to "cure" Russia and its periphery. It came, as we know, otherwise. Russia and its periphery are still struggling with shadows of the past and other demons, such as nationalism, fascist tendencies, etc.

Rus 213: Silver Age of Russian Literature Instructor: Denis Mickiewicz

Monday/Wednesday 5:30-6:45

The first quarter of the century was, artistically and critically, the most vibrant period in Russian culture. It coincides with the curriculum of the Modernist movement.

Last year, according to the report, 99 students who normally would have not been admitted to Duke were admitted because of development office influence. Of those 99 students, none were children of alumni. “Obviously, children or close relatives of donors, trustees and active alumni will—and should—be given special consideration,” the report reads. “But often many friends of the University recommend students who are not their own [childrenl, knowing that in the past, these recommendations have/will carried significant weight.” Although the report paints a picture of a development office that too often interferes in the process, Chafe said the number of development spots has

If a sport is removed, Kennedy added, it will probably not be a women’s sport, due to Title IX complications. Despite questioning the need for high numbers of development- and athletic-related admissions, the report argues that the number of students admitted to encourage geographic and ethnic diversity should either remain stable or increase. The report argues that, although the school’s number of African-American students is satisfactory, the number of Asian and Latino undergraduates needs to rise.

Synopsis:

Migration, both illegal and legal, from Mexico to the United States is presently much in the news. But there have been other important streams of migration in North America: from the deportation of the Acadians to the Thirteen Colonies in the mid18th century; from the USA to the Canadian Maritimes and the present-day provinces of Quebec and Ontario after the American Revolution; from Quebec to New England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries; from Mexico to the USA under the bracero program of the 1940s and 19505; the movement of draft resisters from the USA to Canada in the 19605; and a long-term "brain drain" from both Canada and Mexico to the United States. Some of these migration episodes have involved considerable back and forth migration, as does the current Mexican migration. What political, economic, social, and cultural issues have these past episodes raised, and what might they teach us about current migration and future proposals for more permeable North American borders? What have been the implications for the composition of the population in both sending and receiving societies?

Blue Devils face Butler, Ramblin’ Wreck tonight From staffreports Hoping to capitalize on its five wins over winter break, the women’s basketball team takes on Georgia Tech next. Duke (14-1,2-1 ACC) will host the Yellow Jackets (10-4, 2-2) tomorrow'night in Cameron Indoor Stadium at 7 p.m. The Yellow Jackets are coming off a 70-65 win against 25th-ranked Virginia Sunday, their seventh win in eight games. The Yellow Jackets also nabbed a 82-75 win over North Carolina. In last season’s games, Duke beat the Yellow Jackets at Alexander Memorial Coliseum 64-45 before rolling over the Ramblin’ Wreck 83-51 at Cameron. The Blue Devils also faced Georgia Tech in the semifinals of the ACC tournament that resulted in a 77-56 decision. But last season’s Georgia Tech squad lacked Niesha Butler. The redshirt sophomore, who was named ACC player of the week Monday, returned to the lineup this season after a season-shortening knee injury in late 1999. Butler wowed the conference scoring 19.3 points per game as an unanimous pick for ACC Rookie of the Year her freshman season. Two years and a Spike Lee movie offer later, Butler is back and notching 17 points per game. She will face Alana Beard, who is gunning after Butler’s old title as Rookie of the Year. The Duke freshman leads her team with 15.6 points per game.

Duke wins defensive battle at N.C. State Left-right, left-right. RALEIGH The three-pointers were falling for Duke, and the Wolfpack could seemingly do nothing to stop it. Thirteen seconds into the second half, it was Shane Battier from the left corner. Jason Williams followed suit with a trey from the right corner, and then Battier countered with another shot from the left. When Chris Duhon hit a three from the right corner again, Duke had built a 19-point lead just five minutes into the second half.

Harold Gutmann Game Commentary In front of a national television audience and 18,263 fans, the team that led the league in defense last year was watching the Blue Devils score at will. “It doesn’t take a lot for the lead to go from 18 to 30 by the time you take another sip of your Coke,” N.C. State coach Herb Sendek said. The fans grew increasingly frustrated, resorting to throwing trash on the court. “To protect the integrity of the university, please do not throw things on the field,” the P.A. announcer said. But further pleas were not needed. The Wolfpack utilized a trick from Duke’s playbook, a full-court press that caused Duke to push the ball harder and rush shots. At one point, Williams tried to dribble behind his back to evade two defenders, with a predictably bad result. The Blue Devils THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE went six minutes without a field goal SHANE BATTIER defends N.C. State’s Damien Wilkins, who led his team with 21 points. Battier scored as a 63-45 lead shrunk to 67-61. See COMMENTARY on page 23 22 points and registered three blocks last night against the Wolfpack.

During that stretch it seemed like we couldn’t get a rebound. They also hurt us Wednesday night. Forte scored 20 of his 26 points in the second from the 3-point line.” Forte and Jason Capel hit 3-pointers and half for No. 9 Tar Heels, which couldn’t do much Kris Lang added a three-point play as the Tar wrong after halftime and didn’t do much of anyHeels opened the second half with a 9-0 run to thing as No. 14 Maryland got back in the game. “It was almost too much too soon,” said Tar take a 41-36 lead.

5 years, 3 knee surgeries—still a ‘winner’

lAfilrl fli I %J| Bb ■[ MB

ccording to her coach

of the past four-and-ahalf years, Missy West is a “winner.” She was a winner when she was recruited out of Malone, N.Y., an upstate hamlet near the Canadian border. And she

is a winner now. Through it all, though, there have been times when almost no one—perlaps not even coach Gail Goestenkors uld bear the pain and frustration of atching West keep trying to win. No one, ’ course, save West herself. Five years, xee knee surgeries and one premature ;nior recognition night behind her, West for the second year in a row, a senior capon the women’s basketball team, it before the beginning of last season, es sat down with West, who had taken ■edshirt her sophomore year after her lurgery. During the redshirt year, West tore knee surgeries—one to remove a ir her kneecap and some tom cartilage, jond on her previously “good” knee, •At the time, it was the kind of injury that was very difficult to come back from,” West said. “I was told my career would be questionable.” For a winner who had never been injured and had never adapted to the feel of a bench underneath her, this was frustrating news. So was the news that the coaches delivered West when they sat down with her just before the beginning of last season. “She was on schedule to graduate. We told her she needed to go ahead and graduate,” Goestenkors said. To West, the message came as a shock, and as a —

:hallenge. “I wanted to prove them wrong,” West said. “I just •rked all season with the hope of staying as long as ible, whether I was on the bench or on the court.” ' course, West is back this year. At the end of last seahaving only signed five new players and with one scholremaining, Goestenkors asked West if she would still return for the fifth year. West canceled graduation and added a second minor. Whether she would sit the a—with the nation’s top recruiting class coming to •ham—or see ample minutes, it did not matter to West. "'ut this season, this earned gift of a second senior year e epilogue to West’s story. It begins in Malone, N.Y '

BfefcASOJlto I J S\ CHAMPIONSHIPDMNG

TICKET—

West was a recruiting coup for Goestenkors. Her high school jersey is retired three times over—in soccer and softball in addition to basketball. She was New York’s Miss Basketball her senior year, an honor that was held the year before by none other than Chamique Holdsclaw, the one-time Tennessee star and now one of the WNBA’s marquee players. As a pitcher who threw no-hitters practically routinely (22 in her career), West was New York’s player of the year in softball in both her junior and senior years. By all accounts, West was expected to make a similar mark in basketball at Duke. The preseason ACC rookie of the year, the Blue Devils’ first, West enjoyed a terrific freshman year, earning five starts before initially injuring her knee in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Taking the medical redshirt her sophomore year, West looked more like an assistant coach than an injured player on the sidelines. She always occupied the first seat on the bench next to the scorer’s table and carried a trusty clipboard with her at all times. Then-freshman Georgia Schweitzer remembers the impact West had on her during that first season. “The first year she was a great vocal leader,” the reigning ACC player of the year said. “She never complained about being hurt. She was really good to me personally off the court, introducing me to the social scene here at Duke.” West’s plan to come back strong was hampered by the two additional surgeries after that season. “Every time we felt like she was on the verge of a breakthrough, she would have another setback,” Goestenkors said. “It was really hard for her and extremely hard for everyone else to watch.” West did not see.much playing time during her sophomore season. In fact, she played in only 11 games. But West occupied that same first chair on the bench, usually with her knee wrapped in a plugged-in heating pad. The clipboard was absent, but West’s leadership was not. “I remember Missy during the Tennessee game that year, squatting beside Coach G on the bench the whole time,” junior guard Krista Gingrich said.

In addition, behind the scenes West underwent about two-and-a-half hours of rehabilitation therapy each day. Beyond that, she worked out all the time, fearful of being out of shape and missing a chance because of it. “Every time I went to the locker room she was always riding the bike,” Schweitzer recalled. “She never complained that year either. I always felt she’d be ready to help us when we needed her. I knew she was such a fighter, just waiting for her opportunity.” Goestenkors noted that while the injuries may have faded, West’s fight has not. “After every practice she’d work out extra. When we would go on road trips, she would work out in the hotel. She still does this! She always stayed positive and stayed in shape. It’s hard to stay in shape when you aren’t playing.” It turned out the Blue Devils needed West during her “first senior year,” especially after Peppi Browne tore her ACL on Jan. 27 versus North Carolina. Goestenkors moved Rochelle Parent to Browne’s frontcourt position and often used West to fill Parent’s space in the backcourt. West was Duke’s high scorer in five games last season. Playing to earn her fifth year, though, West finished the season in a strong fashion. In the ACC tournament, she scored 42 points in three games en route to helping the Blue Devils capture their first conference tournament. Named to the all-toumament second team, West also scored in double figures in each of Duke’s next three games, all NCAA tournament contests. Even better than the way West was playing, though, was the way she was feeling. “When I started playing better, I fought through the pain,” West said. “Now the muscle is all back and I hardly have any pain at all.” This season, West is averaging just over 14 minutes and five points per game. She has also moved into Duke’s career top 10 for threepointers made and three pointers attempted. “She’s a competitor. In the classroom and on the court, she’s always going to work extremely hard,” Goestenkors said. “You want her on your side.” Always a winner, West is finally winning. Tm thankful to be back and given this fifth year,” she said.

ANALYSIS

Frontcu .C

Tech

Georgia Tech has received much-needed help of late from Sonja Mallory, who averaged 23 points and 8.5 rebounds to capture MVP honors in a holiday invitational. If the 6-foot-4 center plays to that level tonight, the Yellow Jackets have a chance. Otherwise, Iciss Tillis and Rochelle Parent could stifle the Georgia Tech frontcourt defensively.

The Yellow Jackets are undersized, but certainly not undertalented. Niesha Butler has as good a shot as any contender for ACC player of the year honors, but Milli Martinez, Nina Barlin and Butler are all well under six feet tall. Alana Beard will try to use her long arms to create problems for the Tech guards, who should have fits with her and Georgia Schweitzer.

THE NOD

Both teams are deep as Georgia Tech has seven who play at least 20 minutes per game, while Duke often unloads its entire bench. Senior Missy West offers Duke a potent outside shooting threat, while Rometra Craig’s slashing skills have helped players like Rochelle Parent become more involved

in the offense.

Georgia Tech, fresh off its upset of then-No. 25 Virginia, is playing its best basketball of the season. Tech has won seven of its last eight games and it is trying to prove it belongs near the top of the ACC. Duke, meanwhile, has been unstoppable at Cameron, where it recently routed both lowa State and Wake Forest. The logos are not a mistake; despite Georgia Tech’s talent, Duke is probably at least slightly better across the board. But make no mistake about it, the Yellow Jackets are playing well enough to upset Duke if things go their way. That is not very likely, however, as Alana Beard should shake off a poor shooting night Monday against FSU by outperforming Niesha Butler. Duke 88-74 Compiled by Brody Greenwald Everything else follows from there.

Pitino plans UNLV visit soon, confirms UCLA calls in Dec. By PETER MAY

The Boston Globe

Rick Pitino is a 24/7 kind of guy and, goodness knows, Las Vegas is certainly a 24/7 kind of place. Seems like a natural fit, right? Pitino thinks that might be

the case.

“I’m going to look into the Las Vegas thing,” the former Celtics coach said Wednesday. “I could take it. I really could. I don’t know too much about the program, other than the history of the Runnin’ Rebels and that they were in a Final Four with [Kentuckyl. I know their last two coaches have had some problems. I’m going to check it out. It’s the only one that’s open.” The program, on probation, has an interim coach and Pitino has already been contacted by UNLV supporters. It’s also the only non-gambling game in town. “If you live there, it’s a different lifestyle than if you visit there,” Pitino said. “If you lived there, you’d be in a fishbowl, a lot like Kentucky.” Pitino also confirmed receiving two calls from UCLA athletic director Peter Dalis. According to Pitino, the calls came 15 minutes apart Dec. 21. “We were just arriving at Madison Square Garden when I got the first call on my cell phone,” Pitino said. “I thought it was a hoax. I wondered how he got my cell number. So I told him to call back in 15 minutes. He did.” Pitino’s account of the call had Dalis making only general inquiries about whether Pitino was thinking of returning to college basketball. He also said

Dalis got Pitino’s cell phone number from a mutual friend. “He told me he keeps a list of names

and that people out there spoke highly of me and if I thought there might be a time in the future where I would coach again in college,” the one-time Kentucky coach said. “I told him I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. He wished me luck and that was the end of the conversation.” According to a story in Wednesday’s Los Angeles

Times, current UCLA coach Steve Lavin could be dismissed at a of cost

$700,000.

And Dalis said in the same article that while he thought the basket-
