medicine A new book spurred the series of seminars, which will explore racial disparities in medical research. By SCOTT KOENIG The Chronicle

In honor of Black History Month, a series of seminars starting this Friday will examine racial disparities in medical research over time. Organized by the history department, the series is based on the new book An American Health Dilemma: Medical History of African Americans and the Problem of Race by Michael Byrd and Linda Clayton. The book’s chapters shape the focus of the four seminars, which will first discuss disparities in research and clinical care and will continue with examinations of the trend during different time periods. “My goal is to create an environment where we can look at data and analyses and start a dialogue about why the disparity between races exists,” said Associate Professor ofHisSce RACE MEDICINE on page 7 &

Canadian diplomat speaks tonight Official discusses international organizations By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Even though Lloyd Axworthy and Madeline Albright are no longer their respective countries’ top diplomats, they remain very good friends. In fact, during Axworthy’s tenure as Canada’s foreign minister from 1996 until last October, the two would often slip away to dine and chat casually,

without the hassle of aides, at

many of the international functions and conferences. The two contemporaries, who share similar viewpoints, struck up an especially warm relationship, despite Axworthy’s often prickly positions on the U.S. embargo against Cuba and American missile defense. Axworthy’s unique relationship with the United States’ first female secretary of state is only one of many details from his tenure as foreign minister he shared with students this week at Duke. The former minister has been in Durham since Monday, visiting STAN HONDAWPPHOTO classes and meeting with students, shook hands with U.N.

Israel suspends talks after shootings By MARK LAVIE Associated Press

JERUSALEM Israel abruptly suspended peace talks with the Palestinians Tuesday after two Israeli restaurant owners were killed in the West Bank, apparently by Palestinian gunmen. It was not immediately clear how long the talks were on hold, although Israel’s deputy defense minister predicted the talks would resume soon. Israel has briefly suspended negotiations in the past over Palestinian attacks on Israelis, The two sides, meeting in the Egyptian resort ofTaba, had been conducting intensive talks on a peace agreement against a tight deadline—lsrael’s Feb. 6 election. Cabinet ministers from the Israeli negotiating team

were recalled to Jerusalem for consultations, according to a statement from Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s office. “During the consultations there will be no talks at any level,” the statement said. However, lower-level of-

Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh said the sides had no choice but to continue talking. “We can’t stop the talks at this point,” Sneh told The Associated Press, “We can’t stop them because there is a glimmer ofhope and we can’t lose it.” Sneh said he expected the negotiations would resume in “a couple of days.” Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Qureia condemned the killings, but said he was surprised Barak recalled See

But regardless of the urban legend around Duke, they try be as fair and impartial as possible.” Fairness aside, many people still pity the owner of the vehicle with a tidy stack of $75 tickets accumulated on its windshield. Or the lone car that tries to fake a parking place, nestled up conspicuously against a row of lawabiders, hoping to go unnoticed. But the folks down at Traffic Enforcement know when a vehicle is in the lines and when it’s not. And just in case it is unclear out in the field, the rules are thoroughly detailed in a 10-page online guide. Included in the top 25 ways not to park your car is positioning “any portion of a vehicle outside the line indicating a parking space.” Nothing tricky here, right? Yet time and time again the circumstances surrounding a particular citation are cause for dispute. Take senior Ned Coker, for instance, who dutifully moved his car to an alternate lot for the football game and still ended up getting ticketed. “I went back early in the morning and I had a parking ticket on my car,” he said. “I was kind of mad because I had to move my car for the game and I thought it’d be OK.” For many drivers, the good news is that this year, 37 percent of parking tickets have been fully overturned when appealed. Although Coker’s appeal was successful, for him the real clincher came when he went to plead his case at the traffic office. While standing in line, Coker said, he overheard one of the employees

Red wine is not a proven heart helper

The popular—and rather appealing —belief that red wine counteracts the effects of dietary cholesterol and saturated fat may not be as sound as previously thought.

Harvard scientists found new evidence that the right hemisphere of our brain allows us to look in the mirror and say: “That’s me.’ The researchers alternatively anesthesized right and left sides of the brain and then showed to subjects pictures of their own faces morphed with that of a celebrity. When the right side of the brain was active, the subjects recognized themselves; but when the right side was anesthesized, they identified the picture as that of a celebrity. •

Simple steps to help you fall asleep

If you wake up several times during the night or take more than half an hour to fall asleep, there may be some simple steps you can take to cure the insomnia. While most cases of insomnia are brought on by depression, anxiety or physical pain, some result from nothing more than bad sleep habits. As a remedy, experts recommend establishing a nightly ritual that gets your body prepared for sleep. Several minutes of meditation or a warm bath can go a long way toward helping you get a good night’s rest. Contrary to popular belief, alcohol will actually disrupt your sleep patterns so exclude it from the ritual

Radiation lowers patient recidivism Patients who receive balloon angiploasty treatment for clogged arteries may no longer have to return for additional procedures. By MATT BRUMM The Chronicle

Duke physicians have completed trials of a new procedure that could reduce the chance that patients with clogged heart arteries will have to return to the hospital for additional treatments. Nearly one million Americans undergo balloon angioplasty to treat clogged heart arteries each year, but almost 200,000 must receive additional treatment when their bodies respond unfavorably to the devices designed to keep arteries clear. Collaborating with colleagues around the country, Duke cardiologists and radiologists paved the way for the federal approval of a new procedure that uses radiation to lessen the likelihood that patients will have to return for procedures to keep their arteries clear. Now that the federal certification is complete, Duke physicians are regu-

larly using this new treatment on their cardiac patients. “Patients are very excited about this option that may help them,” said Dr. Michael Sketch, associate professor of cardiology. “There was no good solution to [this probleml previously.” Angioplasty involves inserting a minuscule balloon at the obstructed site in an artery and inflating it to clear a path around the blockage. In more than 75 percent of these procedures, a metal tube called a stent is expanded inside the artery to act as a permanent support, and the balloon is removed. One-fourth of patients receiving stents, however, suffer from an affliction known as in-stent restenosis. This occurs when cells lining the artery grow in response to injury caused by the stent and reblock the artery. The only solution is to reopen the artery with another balloon, which often fails to prevent restenosis from happening again.

DR. MICHAEL SKETCH (standing) conferred with Dr. Timothy Shafman in the control room of one of the Medical Center’s cardiac catherization laboratories. “Patients we’re treating now have had this happen four, five or six times,” said Dr. Timothy Shaffnan, assistant professor ofradiation oncology. “We hope they won’t have to come back again.”

Before the advent of radiation treat-

ment, between 40 percent and 80 percent of patients treated for restenosis had to return to the hospital for a third procedure. With radiation treatment, the return rate averaged between 10 percent and 20 percent in different trials. Sketch said the ideal remedy now is

to treat the artery with radiation once it is reopened with a balloon; the radiation acts to inhibit cell and tissue growth in the arteries, allowing clearer blood flow. Duke physicians can use either beta or gamma radiation to inhibit undesirable arterial cell growth, depending upon the size and location of the blockage. Calculated doses of radiation are

used, with an exposure time of 18 to 20 minutes for gamma radiation and two to three minutes for beta. Shafman noted that the use of radiation in non-cancer patients is not new—benign tumors and keloids are currently treated by a similar method. As for concerns stemming from radiation exposure, no side effects have been detected. “[The radiation] doesn’t go through a

lot of tissue,” Shafman said. “It’s only been done for a few years, but we don’t expect any side effects.” In addition to interventional cardiologists like Sketch and radiation oncologists such as Shafman, a radiation physicist must participate in the procedure. Shafman said this may be only a start to extending techniques ofradiation oncology to non-cancerous afflictions. “This is a huge development in our field; it’s a big thing for our specialty,” he said. “It’s going to be good.”

Scientists stop light, send it on its way Experiment may help develop computers that store information in light particles By JOSEPH VERRENGIA Associated Press

Physicists say they have brought light particles to a screeching halt, then revved them up again so that they could continue their journey at a blistering 186,000 miles per second. The results are the latest in a growing number of experiments that manipulate light, the fastest and most ephemeral form of energy in the universe. Eventually, researchers hope to harness light’s speedy properties in development of more powerftil computers and other technologies that store information in light particles rather than electrons. The experiments were conducted in separate laboratories in Cambridge, Mass., by groups led by Lene Vestergaard

Hau ofHarvard and the Rowland Insti-

tute of Science and Ronald L. Walsworth and Mikhail D. Lukin of the HarvardSmithsonian Institute for Astrophysics, Physicists who did not participate in the experiments said the research makes an important contribution to understanding the properties of light. However, any practical applications are far off, they said. “It’s a real first,” said Stanford physicist Stephen Harris, who collaborated on a 1999 experiment with Hau that slowed light to 38 mph. “These experiments are beautiful science.” To stop light completely, the researchers created a trap in which atoms of gas were chilled magnetically to within a few-millionths of a degree of absolute

zero and a consistency they described as “optical molasses.” Normally, the gas atoms would absorb any light directed into the trap. The researchers solved this problem by aiming a “control” laser beam into the gas, which transformed it from opaque to a state known as electromagnetically induced transparency, or'EIT. Then they shined a second, probe laser that operated at a different frequency. When the wave of light particles hit the gas atoms, the particles slowed dramatically. To stop the probe light entirely, the researchers waited until it had entered the vessel, encountered the gas atoms and imprinted a pattern into the orientation of the spinning atoms.

EDUCATION from page 2 money away from public schools and the students who need the cash the most. Vouchers are missing from an otherwise similar education proposal introduced Tuesday by congressional Democrats, led by Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. Moderate Republicans, in their own plan, have also stricken vouchers, an indication that Bush may be forced to negotiate if he wants to get the main elements of his program through a Congress so closely divided between De-

mocrats and Republicans. Bush frequently talks about how proud he is of the improvement in the Texas education system during his tenure as governor, though many of the changes were put into motion before he took office. Several of the crucial elements of Tuesday’s proposals were drawn from his experience there. But it also demonstrated how much the Republican Party’s position has changed to conform to Bush’s initiative. In 1994, one of his party’s rallying calls was the elimination of the Department of Education. Under Bush’s plan, it would become significantly more powerful, overseeing the yearly assessments of how schools and states have progressed. “There are parts ofthis we can’t abide, but you have to say that the core of his proposal—accountability—is much needed, and a big change,” said Amy Wilkins, a policy analyst at the Education Trust, a nonpartisan group that focuses particularly on improving the education of disadvantaged students. “It’s a serious proposal, and there is a lot to work with.” Bush’s proposal includes the following highlights: States would be allowed to “select and design assessments of their choosing” for all students in grades three through eight, using federal money to design the test. But it must be used consistently to allow year to year assessments of progress, and, in order to clearly show the progress of various groups of students, each school must publicly report results “by race, gender, •

English language proficiency, disability and socioeconomic status.” If a school has not made adequate progress for two years, the local school district “must implement corrective action” and allow students to choose another public school. If there is no progress after the next year, “disadvantaged students within the school” may use federal funds “to transfer to a higher performing public or private school” or receive outside tutoring. In additional to state standards for reading and •

•

math, the states would also be required to set “challenging content standards in history and science.” States would have access to funds from a “Reading First” program, and similar funds could be used in preschool and Head Start programs. States or school districts could negotiate a “charter option” with the Department of Education, which would free them from some federal requirements in return for agreeing to specific goals for increasing student performance over five years. There would be economic sanctions for failing to meet those terms. In a separate proposal, the details of which have not yet been released, the Bush administration wants to expand current education savings accounts so that parents could contribute up to $5,000 a year and could use the money for any education-related expense in kindergarten through 12 grade. Currently the annual contribution per student is limited to $5OO, intended chiefly for college savings. The new proposals would effectively give wealthier parents a tax-free option for helping finance a private school education. Tuesday’s proposals came on the second working day of the new administration, one full of other distractions for Bush. He talked on the phone Tuesday morning with Mexico’s president, Vicente Fox, whom Bush plans to visit next month. He also spoke with Tony Blair, the British prime minister and a close friend and political partner of former President Bill Clinton. Bush’s spokesperson, Ari Fleischer, said the two men agreed to arrange a meeting soon, though it is unclear where it would take place. The Senate Tuesday confirmed two more of Bush’s Cabinet nominees: Mel Martinez as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Anthony Principi as secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Mitchell Daniels was also confirmed to direct the White House Office of Management and Budget, a powerful non-Cabinet post. •

nizations, including the Women’s Center. “I think it’s a good opportunity for those interested to discuss an issue that doesn’t get enough attention,” said Women’s Center director Donna Lisker.

Each seminar will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The first meeting will take place in room 1170 of the Duke Clinic’s yellow zone. The remainder of the meetings will be held in the Breedlove Room in Perkins Library. On Jan. 26, practicing physicians will discuss their research regarding racial disparities in clinical care. The Feb. 2 seminar will explore precolonial conditions, with Associate Professor ofCultural Anthropology Lee Baker presenting the results of his archaeological research on diseases among the slave communities in colonial New York City. The Feb. 9 presentation, on early slavery, will be led by Barry Caspar, professor of history: The final seminar, Feb. 16, will focus on the Civil War and reconstruction and will be facilitated by Thavolia Glymph, who holds appointments in the departments of histoiy and African and African-American studies. •

Carolina Board of Trustees

Presidential Review Committee Announcement Since 1982, in addition to annual performance reviews, Duke University has conducted at regular intervals, reviews of the President of the University, the senior officers and deans. The Board of Trustees believes these reviews have been useful for these university leaders and healthy for the university community.

In accordance with established procedures, Board of Trustees Chairman, Harold L. Yoh, Jr., in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Academic Council, has charged a committee of trustees and faculty to gather and distill information for the trustees to consider in its review of President Keohane’s second term. Chairman Yoh has charged the Presidential Review Committee: To consider initiatives and activities that have gone well and should be continued and to make suggestions for areas of improvement. It will be the responsibility of the committee to gather information and opinions widely from interested individuals, groups and constituencies of the university. The committee may elect to meet with some persons who prefer to express their opinions orally. The committee is charged with organizing the information and advice it receives, with comment or suggestion as previously noted, for consideration by the Board of Trustees. The Presidential Review Committee welcomes information from members of the university community, which can help us in this important assignment. Information provided to members of the committee will be held in confidence but may be reported without attribution as part of the summary report we submit for consideration by the Board of Trustees. Please feel free to contact Chair Wilhelmina Reuben-Cooke or any of the committee members below by March 2: Wilhelmina Reuben-Cooke 11212 Hunting Horse Drive

Canadian official to address security, state sovereignty >■ CANADA from page

University. His visit will culminate in a lecture at 5:30 p.m. tonight in the Fleishman Commons at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. As this semester’s Karl von der Heyden Distinguished Visiting International Fellow, Axworthy will present a speech entitled ‘The Case for Rethinking Security and State Sovereignty in the New Century.” “Changes are going on globally, the kind of new pressures to establish a stronger set of law: humanitarian control,” Axworthy said. “I’ve seen the changes going on and seen the whole

shift in values and interests, which really is developing a parallel evolution to a new kind of international system, compared to the old nation-state system.” Currently the director of the Liu Centre for the Study of Global Issues at the University of British Columbia, Axworthy earned a doctorate degree from Princeton. He entered the House of Commons from an urban district in 1979, but stepped down before last November’s elections to return to academic life. In December, the leader of the Liberal party, Jean Chretien, came to Duke to

deliver another von der Heyden address. Unlike Chretien, who could not stay in the area for three days, Axworthy has been much more accessible in his time at Duke. John Thompson, director of the Center for Canadian Studies, was excited by the officials’ visits. “It’s certainly our best year ever. It gives us much higher visibility on the campus for undergraduate and graduate students to actually meet people that they are studying.” Students and faculty can expect to hear Axworthy deliver a candid view on globalization. Many believe that the

outspoken Axworthy has raised Canada’s profile on the world stage. Axworthy, who opposed the United States’ entry into the Persian GulfWar, weathered much criticism, however, for his support of NATO bombings in Kosovo. On the other hand, his work against land mines, the use of child soldiers and small arms trade has earned the former activist minister a Nobel peace prize nomination. He hopes to continue these campaigns out of office as much as he did in office by delivering speeches at places like Duke.

his negotiators. “Of course it will adversely affect negotiations,” he said. Palestinian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, pledged that security forces would investigate the deaths Israeli police and military officials said the two Israelis were eating in a restaurant in the West Bank town of Tulkarem when masked gunmen entered, forced them out and shot them. Their bodies were found near the Nur Shams refugee camp outside Tulkarem and were turned over to the Israeli military. The militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the killings in a notice on its Internet Web site. Since the beginning of the current round of unrest nearly four months ago, Israelis have been banned from entering Palestinian-controlled territories. Israel had also called off contacts after an Israeli youth was shot and killed in the West Bank last week, and after an earlier shooting of a Jewish settler in the Gaza Strip. Tuesday’s breakdown came after negotiators had described a positive atmosphere at the talks. Officials said both sides presented maps to illustrate positions on border issues and control over parts of Jerusalem. Barak, speaking to high school students in Tel Aviv before news of the killings broke, offered ideas on how the two sides might share Jerusalem, including the walled Old City—one of the thorniest unresolved issues.

AHMED QOREI, legislative council speaker, was escorted to his car as he left the Middle East peace negotiations in the Sinai for the Israeli resort of Eilat for dinner.

“The special character of the city must be preserved, away must be found so that the practical conduct of everyday life in Jerusalem will indeed be joint management in the Old City,” Barak said.

Boosting enrollment The Pratt School of Engineering is well on its way to becoming one of the nation’s finest; to facilitate the school’s growth, Duke needs to gradually increase its class sizes

With

universities, bigger isn’t always better. But the engineering school’s proposal to increase its size by between 100 and 200 is an idea that makes sense. As per its long-range plan, the Pratt School of Engineering will steadily grow its faculty over the next eight years.. Its success in fund raising and recruiting top-ranked faculty already has proven that it is a rising star in several fields. The growth in size as well as academic breadth, to include nanosciences and photonics, for example, will require growth in the undergraduate student body. The new professors need students to teach. And bringing new professors will bring about a greater diversity in what Duke students may leam. The engineering school is smaller than most of its peers, especially the more highly ranked ones. Some say the school is far below the critical mass it needs to compete with the best engineering schools in the country, and they’re probably right. But the change does not come without complications. The increase by 50 people ofeach entering class is a jump ofaround 3 percent and one that will be felt in many ways. Campus-wide, the addition of 200 more bodies will demand more bed spaces; under the plan’s current timetable, this addition would have to take place concurrently with already scheduled West Campus renovations. This scheduling could pose logistical problems as well as quality-of-life issues for those living among all of this construction. The increased population will also be felt in lines for food, athletic facilities and buses and attempts to make appointments with Counseling and Psychological Services, Student Health Service and academic deans. Administrators have been quick to realize the complexities of this move and have wisely promised to hold off making the change until all of the potential strains on services are identified and relieved. The gradual nature of this process—the 200 boost will not be realized for four years after the program begins—should also help smooth any complications in the implementation of the plan. The improvement of the school’s reputation over the next few years should boost the quality ofits applicant pool enough that the increased class size does not force a decreased quality of students. But admissions officials should hit the recruiting path hard in the meantime, promoting the engineering school and spreading enthusiasm about its momentum. The Duke public relations office should also begin peddling stories about the school’s dynamic dean and her recent success. Administrators should also consider arranging an assessment process once the change has been made. They may even want to set aside funds as part of the program expense for changes that, will have to be made once the program is in place.

McClarnon column constitutes While reading the Jan. 18 issue of The Chronicle, I was struck with a brilliant idea that would make The Chronicle even better: Let’s do away with Maureen McClarnon’s column and replace it with something more intellectually stimulating, such as advertisements. McClamon’s columns are consistently filled with ridiculous partisan rhetoric that is usually unresearched and far-removed from reality. Take her latest work, where she implies that John Ashcroft, President George

W. Bush’s designee for attorney general, is a racist. If she had done her homework like

responsible columnist instead of blindly lashing out against someone with views that differ from her own, she would have found that everyone who has worked with Ashcroft in the past praises him as a man of character and principle, even if they strongly disagree with his politics. This type of editorializing is inexcusable. If I recall, one of the first lectures in the freshman University Writing Course a

a waste

of space

teaches students to deal with issues, and that personal attacks are the ammunition of a weak mind. The editorial page should be a forum for the rational discussion of pertinent issues, not a place for slander, snide comments and unfounded accusations. If McClamon is unable to write intelligently, instead wallowing in the gutter, I hope that The Chronicle will consider replacing her with someone who can. Rob Reagan Trinity ’O2

Free food will not bring the University a higher yield Duke’s decision to increase

the Blue Devil Days budget is a superficial attempt to increase matriculation yield, Does the administration really think that giving candidates and their parents a lousy sandwich will affect their decisionmaking process? Unlikely. Perhaps a better method would be to show these applicants that Duke is a wonderful place to be. Instead of just transferring money from the

OIT employees to type our phone registration into the computer so we don’t get charged the ridiculous installation fee. Finally, since the purpose of a university is to educate, additional funds could be used to hire more professors to replace or compliment inadequate

graduate students and expand

course offerings so that students can get into the classes they want even if they have an unlucky social security number. Even expanding classroom space so that all courses have a room that fits the class size is

they deserve, the administration is constantly trying to find more people to disillusion with free food. University profit is more important than student welfare. Once someone commits to attending, they are just tossed into the anonymous pile. Take early decision applicants, who promise in writing to matriculate if accepted. The promise also includes uninviting themselves to Blue Devil Days. Instead of giving them an opportunity to visit their home for the next four years, meet their future classmates and start their college transition early, they are placed on a wait-list.

W.: Leading with the heart Off the record & on the QT

«(*r

Martin Barna Oops, W. did it again. He made you believe, that he was compassionate. Practicing a double-speak that he lampooned former vice president A1 Gore for,

President George W. Bush issued an order Monday to block the funding of international family planning groups that offer abortion services or abortion counseling. What a bold stroke of compassion.... Did I forget to mention that he id this on Jan. 22, the 28th anniversary ofRoe v. Wade ? Where did last Saturday’s “uniter, not a divider” go? Granted, it is not a surprise that Bush ordered the change in policy. Former president Bill Clinton overturned an order by President Ronald Reagan in 1993 to make the family planning funds available in the first place. This action was expected. But did it have to be Jan. 22? I miss the oldW., who told the American people during his campaign that America’s hearts needed to be changed before laws about abortion were changed. The only heart that has changed seems to be W.’s. But, as troubling as the abortion decision is, it is the way the W. went about it that is most offensive. The order was executive—a mandate handed down by the president, a member of the executive branch. Yet, who delivered the announcement of the new stance on abortion? Not W. Not even the Veep. Not even a member of the executive branch. It was a Congressman. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., brought W.’s message to the people Monday morning. The statement read by the conservative Congressman was “written” by W., but apparently his highness did not feel that announcing his own

executive order was his duty. Much like the rest of his decisions, this unpopular action was fettered to a surrogate. W. told us just two weeks ago that we could take him at his word, and just one week ago he announced that there would not be any action on the issue of abortion until America’s heart was in the right place. Then came Monday’s pure political doublespeak—but then again, given the way that Bush sounds in his own words, what do we really expect? A televised W. press conference leaves you less clued-in than before you tuned in. Maybe he isn’t doublespeaking; when the emperor addresses the people, he announces vague intentions, name-drops a few members of his “team” and reminds the audience that he is a compassionate conservative. It sounds something like this:

Reporter

your

position on abortion? W.: I think the clearness of my position on that issue has been clear. I’ve got a good heart, and I hope you will judge me by that! Reporter : Mr. President, do you feel your executive order banning overseas abortion funding might be viewed as double-talk, given your statements in the campaign? W.: I’m a plain-spoken guy; I say what I mean and I mean what I say. If our nation is going to be successful, we need to build with success, not failure in our hearts and souls. My decision on that executive order was one of review and decision making. I’ve got Gov. Tommy Thompson as my secretary of Health and Human Developmental. He’s a good man; he has a good heart, a lot of integrity. I trust him to make decisions on, well, on, health and humans and developments.

Reporter. Mr. President, what about foreign policy, your secretaries of defense and state were confirmed Saturday. What will be the first actions they take? Will they outlaw abortions at military facilities? W: I plan on consulting my secretaries of state and defense and asking them. I’ve got Colin Powell. He’s a good man; he has a good heart, a lot of integrity. I’ve got him in charge of developing the thematics of our diplomacy programming. Reporter: What are those themes? W.: Well, you should ask Colin Powell about that. Colin Powell was a general, a great leader. He has a good heart. So does Donald Rumsfeld, my secretary of defense. He also has a good heart. And when I am faced with a problem, I have told them to look into their hearts for the solutions. Reporter. What role does Rumsfeld have in the development of our foreign policy? W.: I told you, he has experience. He is a member of my team—which includes Colin Powell and Condi Rice. I think with a good team like Colin Powell and the other two—three fine Americans with good hearts —then our chances of having success in foreign policy will be measured by our not having failures. Reporter. What will be the first step your administration takes in dealing with the bloodshed in Israel? W.: Well, I am going to get together my team of foreign policy experts—headed by Colin Powell and Dick Cheney, but mostly by Colin Powell. I think that if I set Mr. Arafat and Mr. Israel down with Colin Powell, we will be able to have a good discussion. An honest, open debate, with questions asked by Colin Powell. And I will look into their hearts, ’cause I think they have good hearts, and Colin Powell wi11.... Here’s the four-year forecast: 100 percent chance of vagueness with strong gusts of Colin Powell.

Robert Russell.

pair were both named to and CollegeSoccer.com’s AllAmerica teams. Curtis was named to both websites’ first team, while Russell earned second team status from both organizations. Curtis, Duke’s all-time leading goal scorer with 53 career goals, won this year’s Missouri Athletic Club Award as national player of the year. He finished second in the voting for another player of the year award, the Hermann Trophy, which Curtis captured in his junior season. The Milan, Mich, native ranks second in the Blue Devil record book with 134 career points. Russell had arguably his best season in Duke blue as a senior, recording seven of his 12 career goals and 12 of his 21 career assists this fall. His 12 assists this season, an average of .57 assists per game, ranked fifth in the ACC. The two-time All-ACC pick hails from Amherst, Mass. Both Curtis and Russell plan to play professional soccer and figure to be drafted by Major League Soccer teams next month. Yesterday, the

Fighting Irish pull convincing upset of No. 11 Syracuse Notre Dame’s Troy Murphy blew up for 34 points against the Orangemen, against whom his previous record was 0-5 By TOM COYNE Associated Press

fj SOUTH BEND, Ind.

'»'

*■

Notre Dame’s Troy 1 �PI Murphy made Syracuse

pay for its poor shooting. Murphy scored 22 ofhis 34 points in the second half, taking control on the inside and making 16 of 19 free throws, to lead Notre Dame to a 74-60 victory over No. 11 Syracuse last night. “In the second half, we didn’t do anything with Murphy,”. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “We have to keep him from getting the ball in the lane and we didn’t do it.” The Irish repeatedly went inside to Murphy in the second half. Despite getting pounded by Syracuse, Murphy shot 6-for-10 from the field and 10-for-13 from the free-throw line in the second half. Murphy also had 16 rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals. “Troy is a tough player. He’s hard to handle, plus he has the refs and the court advantage, and that doesn’t help at all,” Syracuse center Billy Celuck said. “He’s tough down low. He just racks up his points and keeps going at you.

become January tradition on the walkways to Cameron Indoor Stadium, I generally consider myself to be a purist. Graces should be kept to a minimum, and the “hard-core” tenters should truly have to earn their right to stand in the front rows on game day. But, like everyone else assembled at the midnight tent check Sunday night, even I was pleased to find out that we had the night off. The 12-hour grace came as a surprise and a welcome relief to several consecutive nights in a sleeping bag. Most importantly, it meant that I could get one decent night’s rest before the 14 hours that were devoted to driving to Charlottesville on Monday to cover the women’s basketball game

Devils solidified their place at the top of the ACC. I watched it; I was there. It was a fantastic game, too. It was exciting, it was nailbiting, it was packed with emotion between two of the conference’s elite programs. There were highs and lows for both teams, subplots and backdrops dating back to a game that ended up deciding last year’s regular season ACC championship. Without exaggeration, it was the most fun and the most tension I have against Virginia. experienced while covering a sporting If you missed the game, frankly, I’m event in my nearly nine-month tenure not surprised. Most likely, if you’re a big as sports editor. basketball fan, you were cooped up in a And in the final seconds, the Duke tent awaiting personal checks for women pulled through for what was one tonight’s men’s game against Wake of their biggest—if not their biggest—Forest. And that enthusiasm for the victories ofan 18-1 season, the most sucmen’s basketball season is fine, even cessful start in program history. commendable I suppose. Part of the reason you didn’t see this But it’s really too bad that it came at was that you had no opportunity to the expense of the women’s game against watch because the line monitors deemed Virginia, because it was a critical game that game not worthy of a tenting grace. you all should have had the chance to see. Apparently there were other more suitThe game was on television, broadable considerations for grace, namely cast all over the South. Yet, unlike last the entirely unnecessary 12-hour grace last Sunday night and the upcoming Saturday’s men’s game against conference lightweight Georgia Tech, when broadcast of Survivor after the Super you gathered with your friends in your Bowl (yes, the “Super Bowl, Super dorm rooms or Sati’s or wherever you Grace” mantra you have been hearing like to watch Duke basketball, not includes two hours post-Super Bowl so more than a handful of you were watchyou can watch the first episode in the ing Monday when the female Blue new season of CBS’s primetime drama).

Yet, for me to rail exclusively on the line monitors would be unfair, perhaps even foolish. I am not writing to knock the line monitors; they do an admirable job. The head line monitor is someone I respect not just for the job he does for Duke Student Government, but also for his contributions as an associate of mine at work and, much more significantly, a good friend. He has received more than his share of flak, late-night prank calls and derogatory emails when, for the most part, his policies have been right on. Unfortunately, Monday night he was wrong.

games in the past four years than every program save Connecticut, Tennessee and Louisiana Tech, but I can assure you that far fewer people are seeing the games in Cameron than at those other places. Officially, attendance at women’s home games eclipses 4,100 people (an overestimate to be sure), but even if that were true, it would still be less than half Cameron’s capacity. UConn, on the other hand, draws more than 12,000 people to its games, while Tennessee has close to 15,000 fans on average. You tell me, are the No. 2 and No. 3 teams in the country really that more

deserving of fans than the fourth-ranked Blue Devils? Do you really want to be known as a basketball school that is more concerned about who undercuts who for $1 million on a played-out television program than who comes out on top when the stakes involve one of this University’s most successful athletic programs? Word out on the street is grace will be given tomorrow from one hour prior to the 7 p.m. tipoff against North Carolina until half-hour after the game ends. Never mind that there was no opportunity to watch Monday’s game, that you had no chance to support the team during a two-hour span that proved it is every bit as good as its national ranking. Tomorrow night, you all have another chance. Believe me, the Tar Heels will be out in full force, and the line monitors are leaving you basketball faithful more than ample time to drive down to Chapel Hill, purchase tickets, which cost next to nothing, and rush back for your tenting duties. the nation. Unless, of course, the line monitors Someone told me yesterday that the are right... and this isn’t the basketball Blue Devil women have won more school it’s cracked up to be.

What truly concerns me is not that the head line monitor does not value women’s basketball. Rather, my concern is that grace was not given because the impression has been fostered that Duke students could care less about women’s basketball. As I was told, dozens of emails flood in every day demanding grace for this, that and the other (sorority functions, this event, that event, yadda yadda yadda), but not one request came through asking for a grace to watch the women’s basketball team. The sad part is, we (collectively you, me, current students, employees, alumni) see ourselves as a basketball school, but the No. 4 women’s team plays in front of a few thousand people at most, unless the promotions department opens the floodgates to local elementary schools. Say what you will, but basketball is basketball and last time I checked, it was being played as well by the women of Duke as anywhere else in

Demon Deacons boast strong defense, deep bench Wake Forest’s main strength is on the defensive side of the ball. Building off an extremely tough interior defense, the Demon Deacons give up

only 61.2 points per game on 37.2 percent shooting. This has prompted many to suggest that tonight’s game will be a defense-ori-

ented contest.

“I think they are very tough defensively, but so are we,” Battier said. “We would love to score 90 points. We’d like this to be a defensive game, but a onesided defensive game.” On the other side of the ball, Wake Forest brings an extremely balanced offensive attack to Cameron. On the perimeter, the Demon Deacons feature shooting guard Robert O’Kelley. O’Kelley, a four-year starter, averages 12.4 points per game and leads the team in minutes per game. The distributing duties are handled by Ervin Murray, who has a 3.8 assist-toturnover ratio. While solid at the guards, Wake Forest’s strength is in its frontcourt. Inside, the Demon Deacons should present a particularly difficult matchup for Duke. Small forward Josh Howard leads the team in scoring, while Darius Songaila averages 13.6 points and 6.8 rebounds at power forward. Songaila, who measures in at 6foot-9 and weighs 245 pounds, is extremely adept at using his strength inside. He started on the Lithuanian Olympic team that nearly knocked off

the Dream Team this summer in Sydney, Australia. With center Josh Shoemaker averaging 8.4 rebounds, extra pressure will be put on Boozer and Battier to keep Songaila and Shoemaker off the glass. “You have to worry about everyone,” Battier said. “They are a very deep team.” That is especially true of a deep Wake Forest bench. The Demon Deacons have nine players averaging over 10 minutes per game. Reserve guard Craig Dawson averages over 23 minutes per game and is the Demon Deacons’ third-leading scorer. Despite the strengths ofWake Forest, the Blue Devils believe that this is their game to win or lose. “I think our biggest challenge is to go out there and play the game that we are capable of playing,” James said. This confidence level is not surprising. The Blue Devils enter tonight’s game following a pair of 20-point victories against Boston College and Georgia Tech. The two games caused Duke to gain ground on Stanford for the top spot in the Associated Press poll. Duke has the added advantage of playing in front of frozen, but extremely enthusiastic tenters. “I feel extremely lucky to be in a

ANALYSIS

Frontcu

Devili and Dcacom

WAKE from page 1

All eyes will be on the matchup between Shane Battier and Darius Songaila, who both tallied career highs in their last meeting. Battier had 34 while Songaila scored 25. Shoemaker is tough on the boards, but Boozer’s ability to take the ball to the basket could get Wake’s top rebounder in foul trouble early. Look for Dunleavy to awaken from his mini-slump and be a factor. Jason Williams is not only the best point guard in the country, he may very well be its best player. Williams’ ability to be a triple threat makes him a tough assignment for Robert O’Kelley or whoever Dave Odom decides to guard him with. Nate James is known for taking the opposing teams’ top scorer out of the game, but it is his shot that often makes opponents pay.

THE NOD

H MM.

Chris Duhon and Matt Christensen are the only reserves who get significant minutes for Duke, with neither averaging more than six points. Wake, on the other hand, gets an average of 29 points per game from its bench, which includes Craig Dawson (13.3 ppg), Antawn Scott (8.6 ppg) and Broderick Hicks. Hicks is coming off a season-high 18 points against Clemson. The Blue Devils have won seven in a row and are riding high after blowing out Georgia Tech on the road Saturday. Wake Forest, however, has lost three of its last five, all of which have come on the road. After just a nine-point win at home against Clemson, the last thing Wake wants to do is come into Cameron, where it has lost its last three by an average of 27 points.

Wake Forest has not had a winning ACC record since Jan. 2. The Deacs would like nothing more than to beat Duke in Cameron and prove that they can play with the best. Unfortunately for Wake, the Blue Devils are playing some of their best basketball, beating their first five ACC opponents by an average of 27 points. Wake will fall to 0-4 on the road in the ACC as Duke continues its dominance. Duke wins 92-77. Compiled by Andrew Greenfield

SHANE BATTIER and Wake Forest’s Robert O’Kelley will each attempt to lead his respective team to a win tonight.

Players said he just stressed the need to play better. He was just talking to us about how things like this happen every year and what happens from now on will decide what kind of team we are,” Preston Shumpert said. The Orangemen played sloppily from the start, turning the ball over on their first three possessions. Syracuse had 14 turnovers in the first half and 21 in the game. “We were coming off a hard loss to Seton Hall and we lost a little focus in the beginning,” Celuck said. Once we started playing a little better on defense, we couldn’t really make any shots. It was tough.” The Irish shot 26-for-31 from the free-throw line. >

Michelle Snow punctuated the Lady Vols’ 13-game winning streak in the series with her second dunk of the season.

Tennessee (19-1, 7-0 in the SEC) has not lost to 1995 SEC tournament and not in the Commodores’ home gym since the 1990-91 season. Snow, a 6-foot-5 junior center, also dunked against Illinois Nov. 25 in the Maui Invitational, the first dunk in a women’s game since 1994. Snow, the fourth player to dunk in a game in the history of women’s college basketball, joined Georgeann Wells of West Virginia as the only players to dunk twice. Wells dunked twice in the 1984-85 season. Tennessee’s dominance appeared to be in jeopardy midway through the second half against the nation’s best shooting team. Vandy went on a 10-3 run and built a 42-36 lead with 12:30 left as Snow sat with four fouls. Freshman Ashley Robinson, subbing for Snow, jump-started the Lady Vols by scoring two of their next four baskets and setting up another with a steal.

But Carroll responded with a three-pointer 21 seconds later to trigger a 145 spurt that gave the Irish a 13-point lead. The Orangemen cut their deficit to nine after Williams hit a three-pointer and added a free throw 39 seconds later. The Irish countered with a 24-2 run that put the game away. Murphy scored eight points in the stretch. “We worked so hard to get back into it we didn’t have anything left,” Shumpert said.

Tennessee built its lead to 55-45 on a three-pointer by Kara Lawson with 5:15 to go. Tennessee had the victory in hand when Snow got the ball and went in alone for a two-handed dunk with 7.3 seconds remaining. She celebrated for a minute with teammates, then officials huddled after watching a replay and called a technical for hanging on the rim. Snow and Gwen Jackson finished with 12 points, Robinson and Lawson each had 10. Vanderbilt lost leading scorer Chantelle Anderson with 7:42 left when she fouled out after scoring just six points. Zuzana Klimesova scored 18 points, Danker had 13 and Jenni Benningfield added 12. Vandy, which had been shooting 58.2 percent this season, shot 25-for-55 (45 percent). Tennessee routed Kentucky 110-38 in its last game and looked ready to blow out the Commodores after scoring the first seven points of the game. But Vandy rallied by hitting six of its first nine shots and took its first lead, 17-15, midway through the half on a bucket by Ashley McElhiney. Then the game bogged down. Vandy hurt itself with turnovers (14 in the first half), and both teams shot poorly. Tennessee went 4 1/2 minutes without a basket late in the first half, but led 25-24 at halftime. No. 2 Connecticut 81, Miami 45 Swin Cash had 13 points and nine rebounds to lead second-ranked Connecticut to an 81-45 win over Miami last night in the Huskies’ first game since falling to No. 2. Kelly Schumacher added 10 points and Tamika Williams grabbed nine boards as the Huskies outrebounded Miami 49-33. Top-ranked Notre Dame beat UConn Jan. 15 to snap the Huskies’ 30-game win streak and knock the defending national champions from the top spot, a ranking they held for 30 weeks. The switch marks the first time in Big East women’s basketball history that the top two spots are held by Big East schools. The Huskies (16-1, 6-1 in the Big East) combined pressure defense and dominating post play to put the Hurricanes on their heels early and didn’t let up. UConn opened with an 11-4 run, getting the first eight points inside and four points from Cash. Shea Ralph capped the run with a three-pointer, one of five UConn three-pointers in the first half. UConn closed out the half with a 14-3 run over the final seven minutes for a 41-20 lead at the break. Miami (9-8, 2-4) sputtered offensively, shooting just 33 percent from the field. The game bore little resemblance to the Dec. 5 meeting between the teams. UConn won 77-53, but outscored the Hurricanes by only four points in the second half. The Huskies opened the second half last night with a 19-9 run and shot 50 percent in the period.

We want to remind everyone about the bonfire policy we established two years ago, which will govern this year’s activities. The victory celebrations following last year’s men’s basketball games were what we had all hoped for. Nearly everyone followed the policies endorsed by Duke Student Government and the administration. There were no arrests, citations, or disciplinary actions, and only one minor injury was reported. The same rules will remain in effect and, with your cooperation, we will continue to celebrate our victories safely and enthusiastically. In keeping with this goal, we address a few concerns based on last year’s experience The University will obtain City permits for six potential bonfires, on the days of both games against North Carolina (February 1 and March 4), the ACC Championship Game (March 11), the Regional Finals (March 24 or 25), and the Women’s and Men’s National Championship Games (April 1 and 2) The first permitted basketball bonfire is Thursday, February 1. Bonfires on any other days will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day will be subject to University discipline and, potential criminal prosecution. The City Fire Marshall has asked that everyone stay at least 10 feet away from the fire Please keep stacked benches to a reasonable height (not more than three) and do not climb on top Last year’s tragedy at Texas A & M provides ample evidence why.

If you carry a beverage, please use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles in the quad. Do not sk or stand on building roofs Do not add fuel to the fire after 1:00 a.m. Refrain from using dorm furniture as fuel for a bonfire, The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. Any fires that are started outside of this area will be considered illegal and dealt with at the discretion of the City Fire Marshall and Duke University Police. The City Fire Marshall has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is now a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come
