Curriculum Sororities to likely secure new space 2000 draws criticism By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Perhaps the only thing freshmen fear than the housing lottery is three more years under Curriculum 2000. With more than a semester of the new curriculum under their belts, students said that although they better understand its requirements, they are extremely dissatisfied by its confusing nature. “I think it’s extremely complicated. It forces you to take classes you have no interest in only to fill a requirement,” said freshman Evan Oxman. “It’s frustrating for us, and it has got to be frustrating for instructors.” Other students agreed, arguing that the curriculum is too confining and does not permit students to take the courses that most interest them. “I just don’t think that it gives you See CURRICULUM on page 8

After years of lobbying, the Panhellenic Council and its affiliated sororities may soon have a home of their own. Last week, the University closed on a $375,000 house just off East Campus. “It’s gorgeous. It’s absolutely beautiful,” said Panhel President Kate Heath. “It took over 30 years to get, but it’s wonderful.” When sororities lost their space in the Crowell Building on East Campus the administration promised them a replacement. The house, located at 402 N. Buchanan Blvd., has enough rooms to provide storage and office space for each sorority; it currently houses the Rhine Research Center and Institute for Parapsychology and will not be ready for Duke occupancy for 18 months.

However, there are still some questions as to whether that space See PANHEL on page 9 i*

85 Duke 62 Wake Forest timeout, Wake

SHANE BATTIER, Duke’s senior star, drove on Wake Forest’s Josh Shoemaker in the first half of Duke’s victory over the Demon Deacons last night in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Forest’s fiery coach Dave Odom had to know last night’s game would be frustrating. Surviving an early battle, the No. 2 Blue Devils (18-1, 5-0 ACC) used perimeter pressure and a 21-3 first half run to pull away from Odom’s No. 9 Demon Deacons for an 85-62 win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Demon Deacons came out establishing their outside game, with guards Broderick Hicks and Craig Dawson getting open looks as Duke chose to double-team star post player Darius Songaila. “Wake Forest has good offensive precepts,” coach Mike Kryzewski said. “We were allowing their offense to dictate our defensive sets [until] we picked up our ball pressure.” When Wake Forest went cold after leading 26-24 13 minutes into the game, Duke responded with a perimeter game of its own, hitting eight threes in the first period. The small Blue Devils also took surprising control of the glass, out-rebounding Wake Forest 21-14 and holding it to just three offensive rebounds at the half. Songaila looked overmatched most of the game and, with forward and leading scorer Josh

Howard sidelined by the flu, Wake Forest had little inside presence. “Certainly, Howard not playing had a huge impact on the game,” Kryzewski said. “We’re cognizant of that. [He’s] one of the best players in the conference.” Duke had a 45-29 edge coming out of the break until Hicks caught fire in the second half, leading Wake Forest to within nine with just over eight minutes left to play. But it was a night whenBattier, Williams and Dunleavy made Hicks’ 16-point performance seem inconsequential, with each of them scoring in the 20s and the trio combining for six threes in the second half alone. “Shane and Jason really felt big shots, and then Dunleavy had three threes,” Krzyzewski said. “Two of those were huge. He showed a little bit ofShane in him.” Though Williams led Duke with 27 points, Dunleavy seemed to show up all over the court in what was arguably his best game of the season. The sophomore had a pair of steals and blocks to go along with his 21 points and seven rebounds. “Mike has the ability to come out and [make] an impact whether he scores five points or 25 points,” Battier said. “He really knows the game.” Yet despite draining 14 three-pointers, it was Duke’s ball pressure and inside toughness that disrupted a balanced and deep Wake Forest team.

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush met with Democratic congressional leaders for the first time Wednesday, worrying anew that the economy “is not as hopeful as we’d like” and discussing the need for a panel to look into election procedures following his disputed victory. In his sixth meeting with groups of lawmakers since taking office Saturday, Bush sought backing for his tax cut plan and declared reaching out to Congress “a habit I intend to keep.” He met separately with Senator John McCain of Arizona, his rival for the Republican

The No. 2 House Democrat, Representative David Bonior of Michigan, emerged from the meeting of Democratic and GOP congressional leaders saying Bush “understood and appreciated” the concerns Democrats raised about election reform. The American people feel deeply about “this election problem that we have, and how disenfranchised they feel, how disconnected they feel and how important it is,” Bonior told reporters after the meeting.

Even though elections are run by the states, “The federal govern-

Israeli Cabinet votes to resume talks By WILLIAM ORME

New York Times News Service

TABA, Egypt Israel will return to peace talks with the Palestinians here today, after a nearly twoday suspension prompted by the killing of two Israeli civilians in the West Bank, the Israeli Cabinet decided

Wednesday night. Negotiations will continue for “several more days,” Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s office said in a brief statement,” with the intention of resuming them after

the elections,” ofFeb. 6, when Barak competes against the Likud leader, Ariel Sharon. Sharon has a commanding lead in opinion polls, and Likud leaders said Wednesday that if Sharon is elected he will declare any peace agreement “null and void.”

Palestinian negotiators spent a restless day here. Several were visibly frustrated by the wait to hear if talks would resume. “There are serious negotiations going on, promising negotiations, and they broke the momentum,” said Yasser Abed Rabbo, the Palestinian information minister. “We should expect there to be enemies of peace who want to obstruct the negotiations, and we should not play into their hands.”. Yossi Sarid, a member of the Israeli negotiating group and the leader of the leftist Meretz Party, had a similar attitude. “We cannot have peace talks halted just because some murderer is interested in seeing them halted,” he said. The discussions will not resume until after the midSee

Residents face Beloved professor emeritus dies at 91 frigid showers From staff reports

Following several days of hot water shortages in Edens Quadrangle, Housing Management officials say they think they have the problem fixed. The problems started about two weeks ago, when students began complaining that they were greeted with cold showers each morning. “It happened pretty much every morning,” said sophomore Rajus Korde, a resident of Camelot Dormitory. ‘There were one or two days where it was bearable. It was definitely not hot water, though.” Korde said he had talked to other Edens residents who experienced the same problem. John Duncan, a facilities manager of the West II housing office, said the cause of the cold water has not been pinpointed, but following several visits by a plumber to the site, he thinks it has been resolved. “[The plumberl said everything seems to be functioning properly now,” Duncan said. “We have not had any complaints today... and we’ve sent the people [to fix it] constantly.” Duncan explained that a filter in one of the systems was picking up debris each day and that each time the plumber had to remove the debris. Eventually, officials found a pinhole in a diaphragm, which they believe caused the problem. Sophomore Kevin Haynes said he did not experience any problems yesterday but that he had not tried showering during a time when the system would be experiencing high demand for hot water. He added that he has been experiencing problems with water temperature since mid-first semester, Edens residents say they are pleased that the problem has been fixed but are disappointed that the University did not inform them about what was going on earlier. “The fact that it is happening daily.... The school should at least tell us what was going on,” Korde said. T didn’t think they addressed it the right way.”

Decreasing state revenues force budget cuts, hiring freeze From wire reports

Gov. Mike Easley Tuesday ordered a hiring freeze for most state positions and told agency heads to spend less money in the face of a growing state budget shortfall. Easley, holding his first cabinet meeting, told department secretaries and Council of State members to limit employee travel and end nonessential purchases, ililVVij Agencies will also have to return some money allocated in rp TT EEi\ their current departmental i budgets, Easley said. Lower than expected state revenues in December prompted Easley and his budget managers to order the spending limits as the new governor said this year’s budget shortfall is now expected to be a little more than $5OO million. The orders mean that some state offices will remain short-staffed and that administrators must eliminate some programs. “For those of you who are new or just coming into office, I hate to hit you with his bad news,” Easley said at the Executive Cabinet meeting. “You’re going to be called on to make some tough calls.” The hiring and purchasing freeze takes effect at midnight Tuesday, just hours before Wednesday’s opening of the General Assembly.

Black wins re-election as House speaker; Democrat Jim Black was unanimously elected to a second term as state House speaker Wednesday, gaining support from Republican leaders in the final hours before the 2001 session of the General Assembly. Black’s selection as speaker came amid several open bids by Democrats and Republicans to unseat him. In the final days before the session, Rep. Toby Fitch, D-Wilson, solicited Republican support in an effort to take the post. He was not nominated Wednesday. Fitch was believed to be interested in heading the

Company officials said last week they are pursuing out-of-state growers to ensure that the modified plant doesn’t mix with the traditional varieties grown in North Carolina. Still, North Carolina farmers worry that Vector’s modified leaf could mix with their own and scare off top export consumers in Asia and Europe. “The foreign buyers will not tolerate any sort of contamination from a genetically modified variety in our tobacco,” said Billy Carter, a Moore County

House so that he could carve out a congressional district in this year’s redistricting that would help him

get elected to Congress. Rep. George Holmes, R-Yadkin, nominated Minority Leader Leo Daughtry, R-Johnston, who then declined in a choreographed move that signaled Republicans would make no concerted effort to challenge Black. “We are the minority party, but we are determined to be a part of governing this state,” Daughtry said before withdrawing his name. Black, a Matthews optometrist, then received all 117 votes from the House members present.

After the vote, Daughtry and Black confirmed that they had reached a deal that will allow Republicans to receive equal representation and Co-chairmanships on the House committees that will redraw legislative and congressional districts. In addition, Black said he intended to name 14 Republican committee co-chairs, although he had no decided how he would parcel out the posts. He said a Republican would receive a co-chairmanship on the House budget writing committee.

N.C. lawmakers plead against nuclear case: Lawmakers from nuclear-reliant North Carolina and South Carolina say they are worried that if the only American provider of power plant uranium wins a trade complaint against European competitors prices for electricity will increase. If the U.S. Enrichment Corp. wins its case, duties on the enriched uranium from abroad “would only serve to raise costs for utilities and consumers at a time when U.S. energy costs are rising,” U.S. House members from the two states said in a letter released Tuesday. The letter was signed by Reps. Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint, both R-S.C.; Rep. John Spratt, DS.C.; and Reps. Richard Burr, Sue Myrick and Howard Coble, all R-N.C. Nuclear power provides more than 30 percent of North Carolina’s electricity and 56 percent of South Carolina’s electricity, the Nuclear Energy Institute said. The lawmakers said they agreed with competitors of Bethesda, Md.-based USEC that the company’s recent financial woes were caused by its own high production costs and a money-losing contract to sell uranium retrieved from former Soviet weapons.

N.C. growers object to genetically modified strain Of tobacco: North Carolina farmers are worried that overseas customers will shun their tobacco for fear of a new strain that has been genetically modified to eliminate nicotine. ‘This is a very, very serious situation,” said Tommy Bunn, director of the Leaf Tobacco Exporters Association in Raleigh. “Most of our top export customers have made it crystal clear that they want absolutely nothing to do with genetically modified crops.” Last week, Durham-based Vector Tobacco disclosed plans to introduce a virtually nicotine-free cigarette made with genetically modified tobacco developed by a North Carolina State University researcher.

Duke, SAS force investigation into Mexican labor dispute By AMBIKA KUMAR

“We hope that Nike will take steps to

The Chronicle

University officials say they feel confident that Nike is taking appropriate actions to resolve a labor dispute at the Kukdong sweatshirt factory in Mexico, but Students Against Sweatshops say neither the company nor Duke has done enough. Duke Director of Trademark Licensing Jim Wilkerson sent a letter last week to Nike’s director of global issues management, Vada Manager, inquiring into the dispute. Last week, 800 workers walked out of the factory after factory officials allegedly fired several other workers improperly.

ensure that the Kukdong strife is inde-

pendently investigated, effectively [remedied] where problems are verified and that all of this is publicly reported,” Wilkerson wrote in the letter. He named other allegations—that the factory workers were subject to poor working conditions in the factory and were physically beaten by police—and said he hoped they were thoroughly examined and the issues resolved.

Nike representative Kit Morris responded to Wilkerson’s letter, claiming that the situation at Kukdong had been stabilized and that about 500 of the 800 workers had returned to work. Nike

says an independent monitor in conjunction with the Fair Labor Association is working to resolve the issue. But SAS claims that the monitor has only been to the factory once and that he is essentially powerless. They say the FLA’s monitoring will be ineffective at overseeing the process. “Nike says they have a representative on the ground... but from what we can tell, they haven’t done anything if they’re even there,” said junior Jonathan Harris, a member of SAS. “We’re asking that they provide a complete account of the investigation with dates, interviews and recommendations.” He added that the Worker Rights

Consortium, another anti-sweatshop group, already has two representatives on the scene; he believes the WRC will better investigate the incident. Wilkerson and Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said they will not have complete confidence in any resolution until the investigation and remedies are complete. “I like the sound of the [Nike letter], but I don’t know. All I have is that e-mail, and I don’t know how that relates to what’s going on,” Trask said. He added that he has confirmed that no Duke products are currently being produced at Kukdong; the factory’s most recent Nike order was filled in December.

Five-hour negotiation ends in arrest of last 2 escapees By MICHAEL JANOFSKY

New York Times News Service

DENVER, Colo. The last two of seven fugitives from Texas were apprehended early Wednesday morning in Colorado Springs, ending an exhaustive 42-day search for men whom the authorities believe killed a police officer 11 days after they escaped from a maximum security prison. Tracked down at a Holiday Inn where they negotiated the terms of their surrender with law enforcement officials for more than five hours, the men— Patrick Murphy Jr. and Donald Newbury—walked out of a room they had occupied for two days and were taken to the El Paso County jail. Investigators said they found two shotguns and 10 handguns in the room, and a large amount of cash. As part of the surrender agreement, the men were allowed to speak for five minutes each with a Colorado Springs television reporter. Both complained

about the Texas prison system, but their complaints brought little sympathy from officials in Texas. “I don’t believe the people of Texas are in any mood to put up with carping and complaining from a couple of convicted felons who have caused a trail of tragedy and heartache in two states,” said Glen Castlebury, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. “If these individuals were unhappy with their previous experiences in the Texas criminal justice system, they will probably be even more unhappy with their next experience, including facing the death penalty.” The men said efforts to blend in with neighbors helped the seven avoid raising suspicions during their three-week stay in a motor home in a trailer park in Woodland Park, Colo., about 20 miles northwest of

Oil spill continues to affect Galapagos Islands’ ecosystem By LARRY ROHTER

Now York Times News Service

PUERTO BAQUERIZO MORENO, Galapagos IsHigh tides and heavy winds Wednesday lands forced the suspension of efforts to recover diesel and bunker fuel leaking from a grounded tanker that has already spilled more than 150,000 gallons into pristine waters teeming with some of the world's most unusual marine and bird species. The result was a new oil slick that has already killed fish and marine organisms and plants in the area around the ship. More ominously, officials here said, the new spill threatens to drift toward neighboring islands that have large populations of sea lions, marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies. Despite the pounding surf, cleanup and animal-rescue efforts by Ecuador, which has governed the archipelago since the middle of the last century, were continuing. About 100 employees of the Galapagos National Park have been joined by scientists from the Charles Darwin Research Station, local fishermen, volunteers and a U.S. Coast Guard team. “Given the circumstances, they have been doing a fantastic job,” said Capt. Edwin Stanton, the commander of the Coast Guard unit that arrived here on San Cristobal Island Sunday at the request of Ecuadorean government. “What they lack in equipment and infrastructure, they are making up for in innovation and sheer effort.”

The environmental peril in the Galapagos Islands, designated a world heritage site by the United Nations because of its unusual wildlife, began Jan. 16 when a tanker loaded with 243,000 gallons of fuel went aground on a reef just as it was preparing to dock. Rescue teams were able to remove some of the oil, but on Friday night the hull cracked and the fuel began leaking into the Pacific Ocean. Fernando Espinoza, secretary-general of the Charles Darwin Foundation, said the main spill, now dispersed over more than 775 square miles, has already reached Santa Cruz, which is about 50 miles

GALAPAGOS FISHERMEN lifted tanks full of diesel fuel out of the sea Tuesday near San Cristobal in the Galapagos Island chain. The Ecuadorean tanker Jessica, carrying 243,000 gallons of diesel fuel, ran aground Jan. 16 in the pounding surf off the island. northwest of here and is the most populated island, Residents there were busy Wednesday trying to remove oil from the shores of Tortuga Bay, a popular beach, and the harbor at Puerto Ayora, the main settlement. Scientists and government officials said the original spill is so widely dispersed that in many areas it is merely a sheen. That has helped speed evaporation and has reduced the chance of extensive perma-

nent damage to the delicate environment, which inspired Darwin to develop the theory of natural selection when he visited here in 1835. Eliecer Cruz, director ofthe national park, said that because of unpredictable and shifting winds and currents, it was too early to determine where the new, much smaller slick from Wednesday's spill might be heading. But he expressed concern at signs that it See GALAPAGOS on page 9

ulated, unlimited “soft money” donations from corporations, unions and individuals that cannot be used to directly aid candidates. Bush supports a ban on donations from corporations and unions but not individuals, an exception McCain calls a big loophole. Also, Bush wants a provision letting union members designate that their dues do not go to politics. McCain does not want that in his bill because including it would cost him support from Democrats. Senior advisers said Bush did not expect to bridge the gap with McCain, but he wanted to show the public that he was willing to listen to the maverick senator. They said the president hopes that he can eventually embrace a GOP alternative from Senator Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., or others. Hagel has filed a measure that would limit but not prohibit soft money donations. It would also raise the limits on hard money limits from $l,OOO per donor to a candidate to $3,000. Asked what he intended to tell McCain, Bush said simply: “Welcome.” In advance of the meeting, McCain’s advisers said he would tell Bush he would insist that his bill be put to a vote no later than March and, if that did not happen, he would try to attach it to the first available piece of legislation. The bill died last year in the face of stiff Republican opposition, but McCain picked up support in November’s congressional elections.

Congressional sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said McCain, Lott and others were near agreement on a timetable to bring the campaign finance bill to the Senate floor in the runup to Congress’ Easter recess. The Cabinet Room meeting with GOP and Democratic leaders was Bush’s first to include congressional Democratic leaders, although moderate Democrats and a few of the party’s elder statesmen attended earlier sessions. “It is a habit I intend to keep,” Bush said. “When I said the executive branch is willing to work with the legislative branch to do what’s right for the country, it’s not hollow words. Expectations are that we can’t come together to get things done. Our mission is to exceed the expectations.” The president put in an appeal for his proposal to cut taxes by $1.6 trillion over 10 years, saying he worries that the economy will not remain rosy for very long. Democrats favor smaller, targeted tax cuts, although one, Senator Zell Miller, D-Ga., has declared his support for Bush’s proposal. “I look forward to explaining to any member that’s concerned about tax, relief and why I proposed it,” Bush said. “I think the evidence is going to become more and more clear that the economy is not as hopeful as we’d like, which I

hope will strengthen my case.” Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., said, “It wasn’t just a discussion about, you know, platitudes. I hope that he will continue this effort.”

Palestinians, Israelis debate significance of recent deaths PEACE TALKS from page 2 day funeral of the two men, who were abducted and then shot Tuesday by masked men in the West Bank town of

Tulkarm. Hassan Asfour, a Palestinian negotiator, drew the ire of Israeli officials Wednesday by suggesting that they were over-reacting to the deaths. Palestinians are willing to continue talking when Palestinians are killed by Israelis, he told a radio interviewer. But ordinary Israelis were appalled

by the deaths, perhaps especially because the victims were not soldiers or settlers, but members of the Israeli

peace camp’s core constituency. Motti Dayan and Etgar Zeituni were cousins and co-proprietors of a restaurant sardonically called “Yuppies” on Tel Aviv’s Sheinken Street, which is to Tel Aviv what Bleecker Street is to New York or Haight Street is to San Francisco. By government decree, all Israelis are officially banned from visiting areas under Palestinian control. But the two apparently persuaded an Israeli Arab friend to escort them through unpatrolled back roads for a tour of Tulkarm’s produce markets and food stands. Several friends and customers of the slain men in the bohemian Sheinkin district said Wednesday that the killings had shaken their support for peace talks. Callers to news agencies identifying "themselves as members of the armed wing of the militant Islamic group

Hamas took responsibility for the killings. But Hamas leaders in Gaza

City insisted that the two Israelis were killed by “another organization.” Some Palestinians said they believe the killers were local members of Fatah,

Yasser Arafat’s political organization, in an act of revenge for Israel’s assassination last month of the local leader of the Fatah movement. On the campaign trail, Sharon derided

the government for “all this argument, this discussion, about whether to renew the talks before the funeral or after the funeral.” The government should not be conducting talks at all, he said. Representatives of both the United

Nations and the European Union were in Taba, but no American diplomats have come to monitor the negotiations. Barak called Secretary ofState Colin Powell again Wednesday to give him an update, Israeli officials said. Arafat, meanwhile, disavowed a statement released Monday in the name ofthe Palestinian negotiating team that

attacked the Clinton administration’s mediation efforts. The statement was distributed widely by e-mail and posted on official Palestinian websites. “What appeared on the Internet under the name of one of the Palestinian National Authority institutions about President Bill Clinton and the former American administration and its efforts in the peace process does not represent the official position of the Palestinian National Authority,'” said Arafat’s office.

Students delay language classes, praise writing program CURRICULUM from page I any freedom,” said freshman Jeff Spinner. “And it’s confusing. There are so many different parts we’re required to take, even our advisors didn’t understand it.” Administrators said they understand the early frustration and said they expected some criticism. Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College, said part of the confusion may be that students are still trying to understand how the courses they’ve taken fulfill the requirement. He suspects as soon as student’s individual matrixes are put on the web the problem will be alleviated. &

Other administrators agreed and pointed to other

reasons why students are dissatisfied.

“I don’t think people will feel comfortable with the curriculum until they are close to fulfilling their requirements,” said Dean Norman Keul, director of the Pre-Major Advising Center. “There is always bound to be some anxiety; freshmen can’t ask upperclassmen about requirements. In a few years, I think entering classes will feel a lot more comfortable with the new curriculum.” Early last semester, PMAC and Duke Student Government teamed up to offer workshops in dormitories to help students understand the curriculum requirements. Keul said his office will be following through in the spring with a refresher course for advisors. Some freshmen said the refresher courses are sorely needed. “I think the advisors can use more training,” said freshman Evan D’Amico. “It’s not their fault they don’t understand, they’re used to the old curriculum.” The only bright quadrant in the often confusing matrix was the academic writing program, which students praised as challenging and engaging. “The writing course was the best course I took last semester,” said freshman John Day. “My professor was great and I enjoyed the subject.” In addition to a successful launch of the writing program, the University’s new writing studio exceeded administrator’s expectations. ‘The evaluations we received were overwhelmingly

University will pay for house renovations, security � PANHEL from page 1 will go to Panhel. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said that the Division of Student Affairs would allocate the space, but Heath and Panhel advisor Donna Lisker said they were led to believe it was theirs. “Kate and I looked at the house with the understanding that if Duke purchased it, it would be purchasing it for Panhel,” said Lisker, director of the

Women’s Center. Lisker added that she had not been told directly that the house would be given to Panhel but that she had been working with Jeff Potter, director of Real Estate Administration. Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack said he had not heard anything about the house, but Assistant Vice President for Student Af-

fairs Sue Wasiolek said she was under the impression that it was for Panhel. Heath said the University has agreed to pay for any structural adjustments to the house. Potter said Duke will likely upgrade electrical and plumbing utilities, add a bathroom and fix up the windows, something he said will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Heath said she was particularly pleased that the University had also offered to provide increased security around the house. Each individual sorority, which typically already has a separate fund for space, will be responsible for furnishings and other costs. “We’re all very excited. It represents an incredible future for Panhellenic sororities on campus,” said Alisa Nave, president of Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority. “We should be grateful that it happened. It’s an incredibly generous gift from Duke.”

Other sorority presidents said the building represents a major improvement over the Alexander Street houses sororities currently use for storage. If sororities move to the new space, those houses will remain vacant, Trask said. Still, it will not be feasible or desirable to hold rush rounds in the house, said Delta Gamma President Brittany Scantland. “They are building a new dorm,” Scantland said. “It would level the playing field [if] every sorority has a room [in the new dorm].... Beyond rush, it would be a wonderful place for social events if that could be done... just sort of a home base for us. We don’t have anything like that right now.” Lisker and Heath admitted that finding space for rush activities would still be a task, but said asking the University to provide space specifically dedicated to them might be too much.

might be headed south, toward islands with large populations of rare animals, including Espanola, the sole nesting place of the waved albatross. On Wednesday afternoon the stricken tanker, the Jessica, could still be seen listing to starboard at a 50degree angle about 500 yards offshore. “The vessel took a severe pounding Tuesday and today,” Stanton said. “We could hear the bulkheads popping.” Ecuadorean navy officials said that they would attempt to right the vessel on Thursday in an effort to halt the leakage. But the navy has only three small tugboats here, and it is not clear whether the tugboats will have the strength required to right the vessel. Assessment ofresponsibility for the spill is just beginning, and on Wednesday Vice Adm. Gonzalo Vega of the merchant marine announced the arrest of the Jessica’s captain, Tarquino Arevalo, and 13 crewmen, who were ordered confined to a military base on San Cristobal pending formal charges, The Associated Press reported. Local fishermen, who have been fighting with the government about quotas for lobster and sea-cucumber catches in recent months, have been using buckets to skim oil from the surface. “We are the ones who are most affected by this tragedy, and we don’t want to be blamed for any dropoff in the fish population,'” said Franklin Zavala, president of the local fishermen’s cooperative. Conspicuously absent from the cleanup efforts, however, was the Galapagos Explorer, the tourist cruise ship that had been scheduled to receive much of the leaked fuel. “There has been no offer from the owners to help, even though other tourism companies have offered their vessels as floating dormitories for our recovery teams or are raising money for relief efforts,” Cruz said. Dedicated surfers are still flocking to San Cristobal, drawn by a large storm farther out in the Pacific. “Today was the worst day since I arrived,” said Armando Maciel, a Brazilian surfer who has spent three weeks here. “The water gave off an awful, overpowering smell when it crashed onto the rocks. I had to give up and get out of the water.”

Raising Duke’s yield If Duke wants to increase their admission rates it will require hard study and increased funding

you admit them, will they come? Forty-three percent of the students who receive acceptance letters from Duke end up

attending the University. While that number is respectable, it is by no means Duke’s yield of dreams. Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford University and Yale University have admissions yield rates that eclipse 55 percent. These numbers seem to imply that Duke is the second choice for many students —when the denial letters come in, it is time to look south to the Gothic Wonderland. And that means Duke is failing to get the students it most wants. Understandably, Duke is looking to become the first choice for more students. And it already has one way of attracting more undergraduates—Blue Devil Days. Sixty percent of the students who attend Blue Devil Days matriculate the following fall. Bringing students to the Gothic Wonderland has successfully increased Duke’s yield, however there is more to be done. So the University’s focus on improving Blue Devil Days, rather than simply getting more people down to Durham for them, seems more than a bit misguided. To start, the University should offer admitted students financial aid so that they can attend. Attending Duke for a weekend is fairly easy for students in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states. But the student from the West, Midwest and New England has a long ways to travel in a very short period of time—Blue Devil Days can be held as little as two weeks after the receipt of admission letters. If Duke wants to encourage all students to attend, from all walks of life, it needs to offer partial grants to pay for transportation to Blue Devil Days. Furthermore, Duke needs to make an even bigger outreach to the top 200 or so prospective students, who receive early notification of their April acceptance. If the University really wants to increase its yield of these top students, then a letter may not be enticing enough. Fly these students in for Blue Devil Days. Make them an offer that they cannot refuse. Duke should not expect that every prospective freshman will be able to visit, and for that reason, Duke ought to encourage its growing alumni base to hold even more regional get-togethers and social events for p-froshes. The University has all the information that it needs to solve these problems; the admissions office already collects information from students who decline their acceptance letters and from those who matriculate. It is a matter of putting this information together, along with a strong press campaign to promote the University’s strengths. In many ways, Duke is still a regional school, little known outside the Southeast and East coast for anything but its basketball programs. As one of the handful of schools that is situated below the top few universities and well above the next tier, Duke needs to craft out a unique identity that will make the Gothic Wonderland the top choice for for its applicants, not first runner-up

Bush could not unite voters, cannot unite America I would like to express my appreciation for The Chronicle’s continuing efforts to provide only the best political analysis on its pages. The latest effort, from Thomas Bowman in the Jan. 23 issue, underscores the need for all citizens of the great United States of American to unite behind the president for whom they probably did not vote, who intends to enact “reforms” with which they probably do not agree. Sure, everyone may not share Bowman’s selfdescribed “infatuation” with political rituals, but the least they can do is “unite” behind the leader so utterly incafor referenced column,

pable of uniting Americans that he lost the popular vote. Sure, President George W. Bush’s words over the last months and actions over the past few days have frightened the feces out of a large number of Americans, from those supporting environmental protections to those opposing the death penalty to those opposing huge state-sanctioned gatherings of large numbers of identical, white, upperclass, fur-clad Americans just outside the Capitol. And rightly so, but, as Bush noted in his inaugural speech, now is the time to join together “to defend

needed reforms against easy attacks.” That’s right, we must now join together and stop the unreasonable complaints about Republicans favoring the wealthy with their tax cuts—that’s just an easy attack, one that’s been used over and over for years. Just because it’s true, hey, that doesn’t make it any more valid. We should take all of Bowman’s words to heart and put our faith in the “brilliant mind” of our fearless leader, President George W. Bush. God help us all. Gray Kimbrough

Key biblical teachings condemn homosexuality I am writing in response to James Harkins’ Jan. 23 column on gay and straight relationships, in which he argues the basis against homosexuality comes from “shallow reading of a tiny handful of lessthan-central Bible verses.” Much discussion has already been poured over the issue, but I feel obliged to present the other side of the debate. I would only like to make two simple points. First, I would submit that one of the central messages of JudeoChristian faith opposes homosexuality: That God had made a good creation, but people chose to fallen away from it; hardly a tangent topic.

Second, not only from a spiritual perspective, homosexuality does not make sense biologically. A simple examination upon human morphology would reveals that we are designed for the union between a male and a female, not between people of the same sex. From an evolutionary

perspective,

humans came to where we are because male-female system works and it’s better than other systems—budding yeast for example. I have no ill feeling toward homosexuals. My faith believes in divinity of human design; I am only saddened that some of my fellow

men choose not to enjoy the wonderful design they possess. Some people believe they have better ideas than

God, that God doesn’t know what He’s talking about. In the end, those attempts are just that, human attempts to match God. As Harkins urged people of faith to stretch their limits, likewise, I would challenge people of faith like him who practice homosexuality, to stretch their faith and believe that their Creator know what He’s doing, and enjoy the design He made.

Research done over the past halfcentury has been cause for great alarm. The facts illustrate that our earth is changing in negative ways.

The

environmental cause, though

unheralded and often unpopular is a movement aimed at preventing massive loss of life on land. The movement is a preventative measure. Much in the fashion of a missile defense system, conservation hopes to avoid the unspeakable from happening to humans. It is our duty as humans to take responsibility for our actions and educate ourselves as to the problems facing the environment and in turn change our habits to allow the continual enjoyment of our wonderful earth for generations to come.

the first.

Two presidents, twice the confusion Public interests Gail Collins The first week of the Bush administration began with continuing evidence that the new team is never, ever, under any circumstances going to utter those healing words “A1 Gore got more votes.” “Look, George Bush won 30 states,” said Mary Matalin, the newly retreaded White House adviser. She neglected to note that about half of them are uninhabited. We are also having some consistency issues. John Ashcroft is plowing his way toward confirmation by promising not to follow through on anything he’s advocated in the last 50 years. On the day after the Inauguration, Bush’s chief of staff said the new administration would review F.D.A. approval of the “morning after” RU-486 pill. These are the regulations he told America he would not try to revoke —I believe the words were; “I don’t think a president can do that.” That was during one of those debates in which Gore kept stretching the truth. The new administration was dispiriting enough without help from Bill Clinton, whose tenure ended with 176 last-minute pardons and sentence commutations, some of which reeked like dead mice in the baseboard. There is really no feel-good side to commuting the sentence of a drug-money launderer or pardoning a bunch of politi-

cally connected white-collar criminals. Worst of all, you had Marc Rich, the billionaire who was indicted in 1983 for more than 50 counts of wire fraud, racketeering, tax evasion and trading with the enemy. Ever since then, the aptly named Rich has been

living large in tiny Switzerland, resisting extradition and sending signals that he was willing to cough up any amount of money to make the case go away as long as he was assured he would not have to spend a single day in prison. “Every U.S. attorney since then has told him he had to come back first, and then we would talk,” said Morris Weinberg, a Florida attorney who was a prosecutor for the U.S. attorney’s office in New York at the time that Rich was indicted.

We are also having some consistency issues. John Ashcroft is plowing his way toward confirmation by promising not to follow through on anything he’s advocated in the last 50 years. In a press conference at a Chappaqua deli on Sunday, Clinton claimed that he had given considerable thought to the Rich pardon, although apparently none of it involved asking the opinion ofthe U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, where prosecutors have been in shell shock since they heard about the deal after the fact. Having said there were “very good reasons” to pardon Rich, Clinton quickly passed the dead mice on, suggesting that reporters get the details from Jack Quinn, A1 Gore’s former chief of staff, who is now working as Rich’s attorney. But since Quinn was not in the deli in Chappaqua, nobody got to hear his excellent arguments.

Rich’s ex-wife, a Democratic fund-raiser, was also unavailable for comment. Robert Fink, another one of Rich’s lawyers, made a number of points yesterday about the “regulatory nature” of the charges. But none of them dealt with the fact that his client was unwilling to defend his conduct before an

American judge. “He didn’t hide,” said Fink. “He was in Europe when the indictment came out. He didn’t voluntarily come back, that’s true.” One of the worst things about Clinton’s last-minute beneficence to unsympathetic but wealthy lawbreakers was that it cast a cloud over all the other things he did rather abruptly in his last weeks in office, many of them involving desirable new rules for environmental protection or health care. Bush is reviewing all those executive actions, when he’s not busy preparing to try to ram through an agenda that most people voted against in the election. The Senate minority leader, Tom Daschle, is stuck arguing on behalf of the purity of Clinton’s motives. On Sunday he urged the new administration to go easy in the name of bipartisan amity. Sooner or later the Democrats are going to find some issue where that tactic works. And now, a correction: In a past column, I wrote that John Quincy Adams was the only ex-president to run successfully for public office after leaving the White House. Many, many keen-eyed readers have written to point out that Andrew Johnson was elected to the Senate in 1875. However, Johnson, who was actually picked by his state legislature, did not have a career that we’d want his successors to emulate, since he died of a stroke shortly after being sworn in.

Blue Devils meet archrival UNC in 15-501 clash By KEVIN LEES

rather than days, there is no time

Duke freshman Vicki Krapohl has never played college basketball at North Carolina. While she may be disappointed to learn that the Blue Devils will not be playing in the Dean Smith Center tonight, but rather in Carmichael Auditorium, she has already developed a passion for the Duke-UNC rivalry. It dates back to her visit to Durham last season as a recruit when her future team faced off against the Tar Heels in Cameron. “I’ve heard all the hype,” she said yesterday after practice. “I didn’t know how much I’d hate Carolina and I haven’t even played them yet. I’m just excited to go down there. I think it’s going to be a great game.” Georgia Schweitzer has played in Chapel Hill many times. Even with her experience, she feels much the same way. “It’s always a great game because it’s Carolina,” the Duke point guard said. “It’s always a fun game because we normally have a lot of fans there and they have a lot of fans. It’s always a great game, you can never look past them no matter what their record is.” After winning another great game Monday night in Charlottesville, Va., theBlue Devils (18-1,6-1 in the ACC) could be forgiven to for wanting some time to enjoy their best start in the program’s history. But in the heart of the ACC season, where the lapse between key games can be measured in hours

for rest, especially when the Tar Heels (10-7, 4-3) have the chance to knock off the fourth-ranked team in the nation. Like the game Monday night, tonight’s matchup promises to be no less thrilling and no less vital for Duke, still finding its rhythm in the heart of the season without leading scorer Alana Beard. “I think it’s probably going to be another close game,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “They’re playing with their backs up against the wall because they want to get into the NCAA tournament. I know they feel like ifthey beat us and they beat a ranked team, that that would go a long way to helping them get in the tournament.” The Tar Heels have been inconsistent this season, hanging with No. 24 Virginia to a 78-76 loss, but also defeating No. 22 N.C. State in overtime 83-77 in the Dean Smith Center. Perhaps more importantly, North Carolina can brag about a win at No. 16 Clemson, 71-70, the only team that has bested the Blue Devils so far this season. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels have dropped games to frisky Georgia Tech and not-so-frisky Wake Forest. They have also compiled four nonconference losses, including a 78-55 drubbing by No. 1 Notre Dame and their last game, a home 94-77 loss last Sunday to Oklahoma in the ACC/Big XII Challenge. “Although their record doesn’t See WOMEN’S TEAM on page 19 i*

Williams beats injury, Songaila shut down by Blue Devils Duke 85, Wake Forest 62 leads Duke in scoring

Jason Williams found out about his alleged stress fracture the same way everyone else did yesterday—word of mouth. But nothing had to be said for Dave Odom to find out the alleged fracture was nothing more than an unsubstantiated rumor. Minutes into last night’s 85-62 Duke victory over visiting Wake Forest, Williams answered an early 7-2 run from the Demon Deacons by bombing Duke’s first of 14 successful three-pointers and then finding Carlos Boozer all alone under the basket for a dunk. Williams’ game-high 27 points were nothing new for Duke’s leading scorer, but the early morning speculation that he might miss last night’s game because of a stress fracture stunned everyone, from fans to his coaches

and, most of all, Williams himself.

Brody Greenwald Game Commentary “I’m not really a big Internet goer, but I found out through my coaches,” he said. “They were like, ‘Are you all right? I heard you had a stress fracture.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I’m good to go.’” The conjecture about Williams’ playing status was rampant and, for a while at least, it even had him wondering whether or not he would step on the floor last night. “When it comes down to it, I really wanted to play tonight,” said Williams, who landed on a teammate two days ago in practice, prompting the bombardment of Internet posts professing to have inside information on his health. “I was really scared because I thought maybe I was going to find out I had a stress fracture, but thank God everything turned out to be good.” Although the injury to a previously sprained ankle was initially thought to be fairly serious, tests Tuesday night revealed only a minor sprain. That prognosis was confirmed yesterday morning, and Williams remained in the training room through-

out the afternoon to receive treatment on the sprain. “He hardly did anything in practice,” Krzyzewski said of Williams’ injury. “He has been playing with it for a couple weeks and he tweaked it again. It’s one of those things; it’s just aggravating. And of course he was terrific, even with that going on.” So terrific that Odom, the feisty Wake coach who received a technical foul in the first half during a decisive 21-3 Duke run, was hard-pressed to accept the fact that anything was wrong with Williams. When Odom was asked if he could believe that Williams took over the game despite a bum ankle, the response was incredulous, more a concession of defeat than anything else. “I’d believe anything,” Odom said. His star, Robert O’Kelley, had just clashed head-to-head with Williams and had exited Cameron’s doors with his tail between his legs after being outscored 27-6. What else could the coach say? He had been privy to what has become routine this season, another show-stopping performance by Williams. Duke’s point guard connected five times from beyond the three-point arc, he showed only the slightest signs of favoring one side and he never backed away from a collision. More than once, the 6-foot-2, 196-pound floor leader raced down the court on a fast break and took the ball straight to the hole with a much bigger Wake defender in his path. He did not always score—he did not even always draw the foul call from the referees —but each and every time he attacked the basket he showed the Demon Deacons he would not back down, that he was not concerned about his ankle. As Williams joked afterward, “No pain, no gain, you know what I’m saying.” His resiliency—as usual, he still played 35 minutes—was something that surprised everyone, even his teammates. “I don’t know what he did, I guess he popped a couple motrin in before the game,” Shane Battier said. “He came out and showed that he could handle adversity and that he could go and be the all star that he is.” When the game had ended and Williams had a chance to unlace his game shoes and rest, he was his normal self, playfully teasing the media in his charismatic way. He divulged little about his injury, answering every question, but not always giving every question a straight answer. And when all was said and done, only Williams and the trainers even knew which ankle was sprained in the first place, as the point guard sidestepped that query in order to keep future opponents guessing as well. “I’m not going to tell you because you know we’ve got a lot more games left, and right now, to everybody else, my foot is doing great,” Williams said. ‘There’s no injury, I’m fine. Coach is misinformed, I’m good to go and I’m ready to play Maryland.” Last night, Williams left Maryland with little doubt that he will be ready for Saturday’s game at Cole Field House. And in Odom’s opinion, Williams’ tongue-in-cheek reply probably did not even hint of sarcasm because for all Wake could tell, there was no injury and Duke’s point guard is, in fact, fine.

MEN’S BASKETBALL from page 1 “Their defense should get a lot of credit,” Odom said. “Our perimeter players were pushed so far out that our offense quit clicking.” Starting guards Robert O’Kelley and Ervin Murray were unable to penetrate into the middle of the lane the entire night, forcing the Deacons to settle for outside looks. Murray also struggled to get post opportunities for center Josh Shoemaker and for Songaila, who was benched for a key stretch of the first half. “I thought he played poorly offensively,” Odom said of Songaila’s limited first-half minutes. “He chose to play in the side of the lane and I wanted someone in the middle.” Key to Odom’s frustration was Carlos Boozer, who had just four points but, along with big man Matt Christensen, controlled the paint. Accused by some before the season of being soft, Boozer was punishing last night, taking away the layups and second-chance points that have at times plagued Duke this season. “I don’t know how many points Carlos and Matt had,” Dunleavy said. “But they had such a big presence inside... they really had the perimeter players’ backs the whole game.” The 6-foot-10 Christensen had a great stretch early in the second half, including one sequence where he embarrassed Songaila, stripping him in the post and finishing the ensuing fast break with an electrifying dunk. His play off the bench was complemented by reserve Chris Duhon, who gave Krzyzewski 30 important minutes after Nate James got into early foul trouble. Duhon played his typically strong defense and had a team-high six assists. The freshman also showed some flash, burying a deep three-pointer and finding Williams with a long alley-oop pass that fired up the crowd. A first half airball, though, brought back some of the tentativeness that his teammates would like to see him erase. “Oh, definitely,” Williams said eagerly when asked whether Duhon should shoot more. “He pulled one from about five feet behind the line

out there.”

Tar Heels’ Hatchell will attempt to get 300th victory ¥■ WOMEN’S TEAM from page 15

look good in the conference, they’ve all been very close games,” Goestenkors said. “They know they’ve been right in it with everybody.” Tar Heel coach Sylvia Hatchell, who will reach her 300th win tonight if North Carolina prevails, hopes the team that beat Clemson and N.C. State will show up, not the one that suffered a licking from Notre Dame, Old Dominion and Buffalo. North Carolina has had three days to prepare exclusively for Duke and it has taken advantage of that time. “It will be a typical Duke-Carolina game,” Hatchell said. “There’s no question that Duke has an advantage. Duke has a great team, look at the ranking. They’ve got all those wins and they’re definitely in the driver’s seat. But what an opportunity for us.” Defense will be a vital component for the Blue Devils, as the Tar Heels boast two of the conference’s

best five scorers in ACC leader LaQuanda Barksdale with 18.9 points per game and sophomore Coretta Brown with 17.2. Beard’s injury makes holding down Barksdale and Brown even more important. “I don’t know that you stop them, LaQuanda’s such a great player,” Goestenkors said. “Not only is she a great scorer, she’s a great rebounder as well. We’re going to try and limit her touches a little bit, we’ll put Rochelle on her. Hopefully we’ll keep her from getting the ball as much, and if she does get it, we’d rather her get it on the outside than down on the blocks.” While North Carolina is the highest scoring team in the conference, they are also the worst defensive team in the ACC, allowing more points than anyone at a staggering rate, which is also something Duke may take advantage of. “Duke’s got a lot of weapons,” Hatchell said. “They all can shoot well and Alana’s out but you’ve got all

those kids who’ve done it for the past two years that were sitting over there just waiting for an opportunity to play.” Hatchell is talking about players like Sheana Mosch, who shot for 25 points against the Cavaliers Monday on a night she tied her career high.. In fact, unlike last year’s Virginia outing, which saw a loss following Peppi Browne’s ACL injury, there is almost a renewed energy on a team that returns much of the talent from last year’s ACC championship team and also has newcomers Iciss Tillis and Rometra Craig. “I think we definitely have a lot of momentum after the Virginia game,” senior Georgia Schweitzer said. “We got a lot of confidence from that game and hopefully it will carry into the next game. In their favor, all the pressure is on us. We’re the one that only has one loss in the conference so all the pressure’s on us.”

Without leading scorer Alana Beard, Duke will struggle against the Tar Fleet forwards. Although freshman centers Iciss Tillis and Candance Sutton match up well against one another, Duke defensive stalwart Rochelle Parent could struggle to contain UNC’s LaQuanda Barksdale, the nation’s sixth-leading rebounder.

Duke’s Georgia Schweitzer and Sheana Mosch combined for 42 points against Virgina. Mosch utilized her quickness to victimize Virginia’s slower guards and drove at will. Flowever, the Tar Heels match up well with Corretta and Juana Brown (no relation), who combine to average 32 points per game. The Tar Heels rely heavily on their starting five, but with the loss of Beard Duke is not as deep as it once was. Against Virginia, the Blue Devils went eight deep and will probably do the same in this game. For the Blue Devils to win, Missy West and Michele Matyasovsky need to provide a lot of extra offense. With an extra day of rest, UNC will be the fresher team and the Tar Heels will play with confidence on their home floor. Embracing the role of underdog, Duke showed tremendous heart in its win over Virgina. Now the favored Blue Devils will have to find away to maintain their momentum in hostile Tar Heel country.

GAIL GOESTENKORS encourages her team during the second half of its victory over Virginia

THE NOD

This grudge match will not want for intensity. Both Barksdale and Coretta Brown are proven scores for North Carolina, and they can each take over a game at any time. However, Duke’s inspired play, particularly in terms of toughness and unity, against Virginia and N.C. State was truly impressive. The last two games were tight between these two. In yet another close contest, Duke wins 74-70.
