University Assembly tackles lottery bill, again receives

$l3 million By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Representatives from the University and one of the nation’s largest philanthropic foundations have announced a $l3 million gift to support undergraduate education. The Duke Endowment, an independent, Charlotte-based organization, has awarded the University $l3 million to strengthen financial aid and a number of prestigious merit scholarships. “We are extremely grateful to The Duke Endowment for its sustained and generous support of students—not only through financial aid and scholarship programs, but for many other academic and institutional initiatives,” University President Nan Keohane said in a statement. “The faith and staunch support that The Duke Endowment has provided to Duke over the years is not only vital to this University’s success, but also valuable to the people of the Carolinas and elsewhere.” Among the scholarships being strengthened is the Benjamin N. Duke program. The program offers 10 merit scholarships to students from the Carolinas. Currently, the scholarship covers the See GIFT on page 8

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle For over a decade, it has been the grand bluff of state politics. Yet with a new governor whose main priority is education, the lottery may once again be at the forefront of the state’s agenda. On Jan. 25 Democratic representative William Owens introduced a bill to create a state lottery. According to most estimates, a North Carolina lottery would generate an estimated $3OO million in additional state revenue. And one ofthe issues most crucial to the debate is deciding that money would go. State lotteries began in 1964 after the New Hampshire legislature adopted one, followed by 37 more states and the District of Columbia. Of those 38 lotteries, 20 use proceeds for public education and 31 set aside lottery funds for other government programs. Georgia uses its proceeds for HOPE scholarships, for example, while Pennsylvania uses the money for a range of programs benefiting the elderly. Owens’ bill, H.R. 1, would earmark funds for secondary education at universities and community colleges, and improvements to infrastructure, including roads, water and sewers. Gov. Mike Easley, who stressed his support for a lottery during his 2000 campaign, has suggested that the funds be aimed at early education.

CROWDS OF PEOPLE from South Carolina wait to buy a winning lottery ticket. Many North Carolina residents travel across the border for this opportunity. Owens said he is flexible as to who receives the proceeds from a lottery. But fundamentally, he said, the people of North Carolina should have the right to decide the issue. He also said that many North Carolina residents already travel to bordering states to participate in lotteries.

“It’s not a matter of whether the people of North Carolina are going to gamble, it’s where the money’s going to go to,” Owens said. “I live up in northeastern North Carolina and our people migrate a couple times a week to go up [to Virginia] and buy lottery See LOTTERY page 8 I*

Lazarus pushes for better Duke-Durham relations This is the second installment of a three-part series profiling the undergraduate Young Trustee finalists. On Feb. 12, Duke Student Government and the Inter-Community Council will elect one person to a three-year term on the Board of Trustees.

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

After filling Ms undergraduate career with various community service projects, senior Jim Lazarus hopes to bring his commitment to helping the community surrounding Duke to the Board ofTrustees. Lazarus sees these experiences—both successes and failures—as fundamental in his bid to become the University's next. Young Trustee. Drawing on the values he learned from his Jesuit high school in Milwau-

kee, Lazarus, hopes to advocate greater interaction and cooperation between Duke and Durham. “The University has a strong ethical and moral responsibility to give back to the Durham community" said Lazarus, a Program II major focusing on applied biomedicine. “If you have been given gifts, as Duke has, then part of our responsibility is to give back.” Along with improving town-gown reTask Force and Campus JIM LAZARUS, candidate for Young Trustee, has served on the Alcohol Lazarus wants to address longlations, Council and has participated four years in Project BUILD.

Sharon claims mandate after victory By KARIN LAUB Associated Press

Ariel Sharon, flush from an elecJERUSALEM tion victory seen as a mandate to veto more concessions to the Palestinians, pledged in a symbolic pilgrimage to Judaism’s Western Wall Wednesday that Jerusalem will remain in Israeli hands forever. Sharon’s promise, delivered the day after his decisive win over incumbent Prime Minister Ehud Barak, ran directly counter to a key Palestinian demand for control over Jerusalem’s walled Old City and its holy shrines. However, Sharon aides were quick to portray Israel’s new leader as a pragmatist with whom the Palestinians will be able to do business. “Sharon wants

to bring peace,” said an adviser, Raanan Gissin. “I certainly believe the Arabs... know they may not get everything they want, but it will be a real agreement.” Sharon aides suggested Wednesday that—contrary to reports during the campaign—he would be willing to carry out territorial concessions in the West Bank and even dismantle some settlements. Reuven Rivlin, a lawmaker from Sharon’s Likud Party, told Israel TV this would involve “uniting” some islands of Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank, which could involve uprooting some isolated Jewish settlements. Palestinian officials said they were ready to hear Sharon’s offers. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat told See

Police, UNC administrators hunt celebratory vandals By JAMES HERRIOTT The Chronicle Tar A Heel victory celebration last Thursday quickly became bitter when jovial cheers and bonfires turned into smashed windows and rolled cars. But University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chancellor James Moeser and the Chapel Hill police say the crimes will not go unpunished. If UNC students were responsible for the destruction of a car on Franklin Street following the Tar Heel men’s basketball victory over the Blue Devils, they may face both police arrest and prosecution, as well as university judicial punishment. “I’m very disappointed in the actions of the few students involved in what I call vandalism,” said Moeser. “I think criminal charges ought to be brought and appropriate action should be taken on this campus as well.” As for now, though, nobody knows who is responsible for the damages. “Perhaps because of the anonymity of being in a larger crowd they felt comfortable in acting that way,” said Chapel Hill Police Captain Tom Oakley. But Oakley said that with the help of WEAL-TV’S high definition television cameras, they believe they will be able to identify the suspects. “We are proceeding and starting to get some evidence together, and those involved, once identified, will be charged,” he said. Chapel Hill police said that although

arrests are rarely made based on media photography, they frequently use media videos and photographs as evidence. Once the police department has made arrests, their report will be public record—available for use by UNO’s honor court. That honor court’s punishment could range from a letter of reprimand to expulsion. Susan Kitchen, vice chancellor for student affairs at UNC, said the situation definitely warrants action by the honor court. “This one really went beyond anything I’ve seen take place,” she said. Brad Matthews, UNO’s student government president, said the student

body supports strongly disciplining those involved. “We don’t condone any sort of action like that,” he said. “We are all still very hopeful that the individuals responsible will be caught and held responsible.”

Matthews noted that the majority of those celebrating did so peacefully. “You have to realize that this was a small group out of a very large crowd,” he said. Oakley said that in the history of celebrations on Franklin Street, violence and public disturbance have been rare. “The crowds in the past have been jovial, and the mood of the crowd [last Thursday! for

the most part was celebratory,” he said. “What they are doing is jeopardizing the celebration for everybody else.” Residents of Chapel Hill, conditioned to big celebrations like the annual Halloween party on Franklin Street and those following Final Four tournament

games, never expected as large a celebration as they saw last Thursday night. ‘This crowd was about three quarters to a hundred percent larger than it was last year, and although we had enough officers to manage a crowd oflast year’s size, we had to call more officers back to deal with this crowd,” said Oakley. Unlike at Duke University, where

bonfire celebrations must be sanctioned and permitted by the Durham Fire Department, Chapel Hill allows students to hold victory celebrations on Franklin street without prior notice. “We don’t give out permits [for bonfires], they are all spontaneous. The town ends up having to suck up the costs ofthe fire and the clean up,” said Oakley. “For the most part, except in a situation like this... it has been a doable thing.” In an effort to help the victims, Matthews said that Tar Heel fan Tom Benfield has started a fund through Central Carolina Bank for the repair of vandalized cars.

Easley meets with legislators on budget shortfalls From staff reports

Gov. Mike Easley met with legislative leaders Wednesday to discuss the growing state budget shortfall and how he plans to close the gap. A group of Democratic lawmakers led by Senate President Pro Tern Marc Basnight and House Speaker Jim Black were summoned by Easley to find a consensus on V[ \FI?\X7C •11 rL Wo what steps to take next with this 11 year’s spending plan. Lawmakers 'Ttjtc will be briefed on the upcoming 1 Hio T T budget this morning. Easley told the Council of State Tuesday that projections for the state’s budget shortfall had risen from $5OO million last month to between $605.9 million and $740.8 million. To cope with the deficit, Easley said he would consider enacting an emergency declaration, which would give the governor more latitude to cut funding for state agencies and programs. Last month, Easley imposed a hiring freeze and asked state agencies to return 2 percent of their budgets to the state—steps that are expected to save $250 million. But largely due to slowing tax revenues, coupled with increasing costs for programs including Medicare and the state employees health program, the shortfall promises to require more cuts. Easley said he would try to “cut things rather than services,” but did not detail specifics for possible spending reductions. ‘These are the cuts that are going to be very difficult. We’ve made the easy cuts and the hard cuts already,” he said. #

Educational Testing Services stops special flagging By TAMAR LEWIN

New York Times News Service

In a major victory for disabilityrights groups, the Educational Testing

Service announced Wednesday that, on many of its standardized exams, it would stop flagging the results of students with physical or learning disabilities who receive special accommodations, like extra time, for the tests. The new policy, covering the Graduate Record Examination, the Graduate Management Admission Test, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, and Praxis, a test for teachers, will go into effect in October. More than 2 million students take those tests each year, and thousands re-

ceive accommodations for disabilities The announcement is part of the settlement of a lawsuit filed two years ago by a California man with no hands who was granted extra time and the use of a computer with a trackball for taking the management test. It does not cover the tests given for medical or law school. Nor does it cover the SAT, which is also administered by Educational Testing Service but owned by the College Board, an independent entity not named in the lawsuit.

Nonetheless, the settlement includes an agreement that the College Board will convene a group to re-examine its flagging policy and recommend, by

March 31, 2002, whether it should be continued, changed, or ended. “This is a huge, major step forward

for equal opportunity in testing,” said Robert Schaeffer, the public education director of FairTest, a Cambridge, Mass., group that is critical of standardized testing. For decades, students granted extra time or other accommodations on the standardized tests had their results flagged with the notation “Scores Obtained Under Special Conditions.” When the plaintiff in the California suit, Mark Breimhorst, was rejected from the business schools to which he applied, he filed his suit charging that

the testing service’s flagging policy violated state and federal anti-discrimination laws, stigmatizing disabled students with a kind of scarlet letter.

The International Dyslexia Associa-

tion and Californians for Disability Rights joined his suit. The testing service initially moved to dismiss Breimhorst’s lawsuit, but last year, Judge William Orrick of U.S. District Court refused to do so, ruling that the service’s exams should “equally measure the skills of disabled and

nondisabled test-takers”—and that, if they did so, there would be no reason to flag the scores oftest-takers who received accommodations.

A special bulletin from the Office of Information

Technology February 2001 Breaking news

on the Duke modem pool!

On Wednesday, January 31, another terminal server on the extended modem pool stopped working, reducing the available extended pool modems from 64 to 32. Currently there are still 96 express pool modems available. OIT cannot predict when the other terminal servers will stop working, nor can we guarantee the life cycle of the modem pool. We urge all modem pool users to immediately investigate alternative solutions for their remote access needs. For more information see www.oit.duke.edu/remote_access/.

Duke modem pool update The following article, included in the January issue of the Glove Box, was written before the loss ofthe terminal server discussed above. It is included here to provide further background. If you have recently used the Duke modem pool to

the Duke network, you have probably experienced difficulty in connecting to both the express and extended pools. This is because three of the terminal servers (serving 96 modems) have stopped working. This means that there are now 96 modems available in the express pool and 64 modems in the extended pool. connect to

Two years ago, the decision was made (and endorsed by the Information Technology Advisory Committee, the Executive Committee of the Academic Council, and Duke senior officers) not to upgrade or replace the current (now obsolete) modem pool. Because many commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide faster, more reliable dial-up service for a reasonable price and because the cost of maintaining the current modem pool is substantial, it was felt that these resources could be better used in other areas of IT support. Many users have taken advantage of these alternative dial-up services and other faster offerings such as DSL from Verizon and BellSouth and broadband options such as Roadßunner from Time Warner. For current remote access options visit www.oit.duke.edu/remote_access/. OIT is gathering information on current use of the Duke modem pool and investigating alternative solutions for connecting to the Duke network from remote locations. We will continue to work with ITAC, ECAC, and senior administration to determine what options are best for Duke students, faculty, and staff.

Sharon angers Palestinians, vows to keep Jerusalem SHARON from page 2

Sharon in a congratulatory message that his hands “remain stretched out in peace,” according to Sharon’s advisers. Arafat advisers said they were unaware of such a message, but that they expected the leaders to make direct contact soon. Palestinians said they would not contemplate any Israeli proposals that fall short of Barak’s most recent offer—a Palestinian state in virtually all of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as parts of Jerusalem. Sharon has ruled out such concessions, and said he wouldn’t begin talks until violence ends. After a four-hour meeting in Gaza, Arafat’s Cabinet issued a statement calling on Israel to resume peace negotiations from the point at which they left off, and calling for international supervision of renewed peace talks. “Only peace can guarantee security for Israelis and Palestinians,” the statement said. Arafat, meanwhile, came under pressure not to deal with Sharon, widely reviled among Palestinians as a ruthless oppressor. Arafat’s popular Fatah movement, which has led a bloody insurgency against Israel, demanded that he not resume peace talks as long as Sharon is in power. “The uprising and resistance are our strategic choice,” Fatah said in a leaflet distributed Wednesday. The 17 weeks of fighting, which began after Sharon’s visit to a key Jerusalem shrine Sept. 28, have turned many Israelis against the far-reaching compromises Barak offered and contributed to his political downfall. Ephraim Sneh, deputy defense minister under Barak, said the prime minister was simply ahead of his time. “Barak presented to the Israeli people the real price of peace, without illusions, and many Israelis cannot digest it yet,” Sneh said. Barak’s most controversial concession was his readiness to give up Israeli claims to the disputed

POLICE OFFICERS AND SECRET SERVICE AGENTS tape off the area outside the gates of the White House after a Secret Service agent shot and wounded 47-year-old suspected gunman Robert Pickett.

Secret Service agents shoot gunman after confrontation from page 2 beyond its gates. Dan Halpert, a tourist from Queens, N.Y., was on the National Mall nearby, when officers told him to get down and clear out. “We were all running away. It was scary,” said Halpert, 24. The confrontation occurred on E Street where tourists gather along the White House fence to snap photos of the executive mansion and hope for a glimpse of Bush jogging on the track encircling the South Lawn. There is an unobstructed view from the fence to the mansion. Secret Service officers on routine patrol in a car “heard shots fired and pro-

ceeded to surround a subject who was wielding a weapon, a gun,” Fleischer said. A 10-minute standoff ensued in which witnesses said they heard officers try to persuade the man to put the gun down. “It doesn’t have to be this way, put the gun down,” one witness recalled police warning the suspect. “He was waving it in the air—it was pointed at the White House at one point—and pointing it in all directions,” said Park Police spokesperson Rob MacLean. At another point the man placed the gun in his mouth, MacLean said. Pickett was shot in the right knee by a member of the Secret Service’s Emergency Response Team when he “raised the gun again and started aiming it at people,” a Secret Service source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The officer fired from inside the White House compound, through the wroughtiron fence. A five-shot, .38-caliber handgun

and shell casings were recovered at the scene, a Secret Service official said. Evansville police detective Alan Brack said the gun was traced to a local gun dealer. Pickett was taken to George Washington University Hospital, five blocks away, where he was in serious condition after undergoing two hours of surgery to remove the bullet from his knee. He also was to undergo psychological evaluation. Dr. Yolanda Haywood, associate professor of emergency medicine, said that when he was brought to the hospital, he was silent.

A brother, Stephen Pickett of Sleepy Hollow, 111., expressed regret about the incident. “We are glad no innocent people were hurt. We’ve been estranged from Robert for several years now. We hope that he gets the help that he needs.” In Evansville, agents of the Secret Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms searched Pickett’s home, looking for weapons, threatening letters or evidence of militia group involvement. The agents were seen carrying out computer equipment. Before entering, officers from the Evansville police bomb squad scouted outside for booby traps or bombs. Two law enforcement officials said police were investigating correspondence from Pickett, including a letter to the IRS, and others that express anger or frustration with Bush and the Republican Party. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they did not consider the notes a threat to Bush though they acknowledged that others might interpret them that way

Money headed to scholar programs � GIFT from page 1 entire cost of tuition for a student’s four years—-

equalling about $lOO,OOO. The new gift will expand the scholarship to allow B.N. Duke recipients to spend a session at one of Duke’s multiple summer programs and spend another summer

participating in a leadership program. “The scholarship is something we’ve supported for a long time. The B.N. Duke is important to the Endow-

ment,” said David Roberson, director ofcommunications at The Duke Endowment. “We’re pleased the University continues to place such a value on it.” The Endowment specified that $2 million of the gift be used as a matching gift for undergraduate needbased scholarships. The gift requires that donors give two-thirds of the total amount of a scholarship, with the Endowment providing the last third. A similar $1 million matching gift will be established for graduate and professional students. Both the matching gift for undergraduates and graduates will be named after the donor. The gift will also provide $1 million to support the Endowment of the Angier B. Duke program. This is the latest in a series of impressive gifts to the University from the Endowment. Since 1998, the Duke Endowment has given nearly $4 million to multiple causes including the creation of the Center for Genome Ethics, Law and Policy, and the construction of a chapel for the Divinity School. The Endowment was also one of the original supporters of the Campaign for Duke, giving $500,000 to help administrators meet the cost of starting the then $1.5 billion fund-raiser. “The Endowment was envisioned by James B. Duke as a major contributor to the University. It’s very much a part of our mission,” Roberson said. The Duke Endowment was created in 1924 by University founder, James B. Duke. In 1999, the Endowment gave nearly $lOO million to charities and institutions throughout the Carolinas.

Celebrating trees Senior Mia Framm and Rabbi Steven Sager celebrated the Jewish New Year of the Trees last night at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life along with other members of the Duke community. Participants enjoyed a Tu B’Shvat seder, learned about the ancient holiday and discussed how it relates to modern environmental issues. Sharing four cups of wine, which symbolize the changing seasons, and eating fruits that symbolized different spiritual levels, organizers modeled the event after similar ones in 16th century Tsfat.

Critics question morality, economics of N.C. state lottery LOTTERY from page 1 tickets, stand in line, and while they’re up there... they buy gas, they shop, they eat.” While most current polls show a strong majority of the state’s residents supportive of a lottery, the opposition has come from both sides of the political spectrum. Religious conservatives vehemently oppose it on moral grounds, while liberal politicians have voiced concerns that a lottery would take advantage

of North Carolina’s poorest residents. National studies show that while the poor do not participate in lotteries more than higher-income folks, they do spend a larger percentage of their income on lottery tickets. Rev. Walter Leake, chairman of the state’s Christian Coalition, opposes the lottery on both moral and economic grounds. “It preys on people that can least afford it,” Leake

said. “People trying to better themselves, trying to where there’s likely to be a small turnout [for refertake short cuts to do it will use their grocery money, endum], it’s possible that the opponents would be able to muster a majority.” rent money.” Cook, who wrote a book on state lotteries, said Owens said that while Gov.

Time to fund the arts Duke’s recent decision to acquire additional performance and rehearsal space needs to be part of a larger effort to prioritize the arts

Duke truly wants a well-rounded student body, well-rounded student activities and a well-rounded curriculum, then it needs to make the performing arts a higher priority. Last week, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask finalized the purchase of the Liggett Group Inc. tobacco warehouse located just off East Campus. The factory will be renovated to house 100,000 square feet of rehearsal and performance space for Duke’s performing arts programs. University officials are also deciding whether or not to renovate the steam plant, located on Campus Drive, into even more performance and rehearsal space. Although it would have been better to acquire space on either of the two main campuses, getting space that is tangential to the campuses is a workable solution. On campus space is at a premium. This acquisition and proposed renovation are steps in the right direction, but there is more to be done. Duke cannot expect its arts programs to suddenly grow in stature just because of the addition of performance space. Duke needs to make the kind of investment in the performing arts that its peer institutions —Princeton and Stanford, for example—made years ago. One step that should be considered is elevating the Program in Drama to a Department of Theater Studies. The craft of theater is more than performance; it is an endeavor that is equally as academic as English, music and other humanities. With departmental status, the performing arts would justifiably have more say in the direction of the University’s academic programming. But regardless of whether drama attains departmental status, Duke should consider investing in additional tenure tracks for the program in order to attract more top-notch professors—and students—to this field of study. Duke has repeatedly stated that it wants to offer students a well-rounded curriculum. Presently, the drama and dance programs find themselves with more interested students than available classes. To fulfill its promise, Duke should invest more money into the arts and expand the number of available courses —especially at the introductory level. Offering more students a taste of the arts will go a long way for the University toward reaching its goals of providing a varied liberal arts curriculum and of diversifying oncampus programming. Considering the underdeveloped nature of the performing arts on campus, it may be unrealistic to think Duke’s programs could reach the level of Yale or Northwestern universities any time soon And any investment in the arts should not be a detriment to the University’s top departments, suqh as Biology. Maintain Duke’s strengths, but if the funding is there, then support the arts. The drama and dance program have done a lot with very little, but that is no reason to not invest more into programs that could benefit all students. It is time for the University to give the performing arts the funding and support they deserve.

The University’s ADA compliance fails miserably You might have noticed a link on the Duke University resources page, which leads to the Office of Institutional Equity. Most of this impromptu web page is still under construction, but part of this site is dedicated to Duke’s compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This site gives the reader a perception of a remarkably accessible campus where persons with disabilities may come and go new

as they choose wherever they choose. If I weren’t already a

student here, I just might have believed what I read. One week ago, more than half of the Edens Drive park-

ing spaces were changed from RT parking to handicapped parking. This may seem ludi-

crous, but perhaps it’s a reactionary move by the university to become compliant with the ADA after settling a court case in the spring of 2000 by a former student who claimed that Duke was not accessible. In that settlement, Duke agreed among other things to “provide accessible parking throughout campus.”

Never mind Duke’s error in eliminating spaces for the already oversold RT passes, but if Duke is really genuine in its effort to become ADA

compliant, why would a college put so many handicapped parking spaces in a location that is accessible to nothing? Due to the location and structure of Edens Quadrangle, along with the current construction of the West-Edens Link, a handicapped person would have to climb several flights of wooden stairs in order to reach any destination on campus. After asking the Parking Services office why this was the case, I was told that ADA regulations said nothing about where certain handicapped parking spaces were placed. More or the less, University has designated one of the farthest lots from campus to be the token handicapped lot. That certainly sounds like a cop-out to me. Edens Drive now has plenty of handicapped parking with nobody using the spaces. This blatant disregard for

people with disabilities and RT pass holders is completely offensive. Don’t let that website fool you, for Duke’s actions in this instance have definitely spoken louder than its “compliant” words.

Instead of placing so many unused handicapped parking spaces in Edens Drive, why can’t the powers that be push forth a more equitable distribution of handicapped parking? The justice department stated that all Duke parking lots should have at least 2 percent handicapped parking, which means the Edens Drive lot should ideally have one or two handicapped spaces. Therefore, if Edens Drive has entirely too many handicapped spaces, then some other more accessible lot has considerably fewer. A more balanced allotment of handicapped parking is the only way to be truly equitable toward all those living or working at Duke. Douglas segars Trinity ’O3

Stick to pro-Duke, sportsmanlike cheers in Cameron Over the past few home games at Cameron, I have been embarrassed at some of the cheers that our student section has chanted. Several of the cheers were particular-

because their fans are often obnoxious and pompous. Duke fans should not sink to that level. We should be too busy focusing on how outstanding our team is and

ly disparaging at the Florida looking ahead to March than State University game to reflect such behavior that (’’Casey Sanders—Colonel we have prided ourselves on Sanders”; “Please don’t eat looking down upon throughout Duke basketball history. me!”, etc.). Despite my fanship for Duke fans’ primary purpose should be to support the Duke—or perhaps because Duke players and not to of it—l would never issue a scream degrading remarks to personal attack on an individual players of the opposing team’s player that opposing team. Duke fans criticizes who he is as a perare traditionally known for son instead of his game pertheir cleverness in devising formance as a player. That’s cheers that are devilishly the difference between the “four fouls—no points” witty and perfectly choreographed. But cheers that are cheer and trying to lure a personal attacks only show player with a Big Mac on a the lack of depth to the fans stick. Cheers should get and simultaneously diminish into the player’s head in the “class act —on and off the regard to their game play court” reputation that Duke but not in regard to their University, Duke basketball esteem as person. and the Cameron Crazies I remember last year’s have earned and prided game against Georgia Tech, themselves in over the years. when we all held up full-size The only thing I can imagpages with coiled snakes ine as being worse than and hissed when Jason Collier was at the free throw cheering for Carolina is seeline because he disclosed in ing a Duke fan act so disrespectfully that I have to say I an interview that he was don’t associate with them afraid of snakes.

ment, group coordination and a good sense of humor. There was no screaming, mocking or berating purely to embarrass him and frustrate his game. When a cheer goes over the line of capitalizing on a player’s weakness, the cheer does not belong in Cameron. A personal attack about someone’s weight is most certainly inappropriate, coldhearted and not in the least clever. Our childish cheers also reflect on our players who work so hard and feed off of our energy in Cameron. They also consistently display a high level of composure and dignity that Duke fans can be proud off when they respond with mature attitudes in post-game interviews and in other public speaking arenas. Even if Duke loses a home game, the players and coaches may not be pleased with the game, but they should always be able to be proud of the fans. Duke is a class act. To keep it that way, Cameron Craziness should continue, but cruelty Cameron’s should not. Mary Dye Divinity ’Ol

Wolfpack gets muchneeded win N.C. State upset No. 6 Virginia last night 90-80 to improve to 11-10 (3-6 in . the ACC) after a heartbreaking one-point loss to No. 9 Syracuse over the weekend.

People say that Duke fever can be contagious Bob Bender can attest to that. The University of Washington head coach served as an assistant at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski from 1983 to 1989. He learned what it takes to coach a championship-caliber team; the Blue Devils reached the Final Four three times during Bender’s six-year tenure as an assistant coach. But these years were merely the capstone on a Duke experience that spanned over 10 years. As a freshman at Indiana in 1976, Bender saw limited playing time on a team that won the national championship. Following that season, he transferred to Duke, where under Bill Foster, the Blue Devils reached the NCAA finals in 1978. Following his graduation from Duke and a brief stint with the NBAs San Diego Clippers, the history major returned to Durham as an assistant director of the Iron Dukes. “Mike [Krzyzewski] and I used to play tennis when I was working at Duke in the Iron Duke office,” Bender said. “I had just finished playing [basketball] and was at one of those points in your life where you’re tired of competing as an athlete and you just have fun doing whatever you’re doing. “Mike brought back that passion to compete.” Bender’s presence on the coaching staff had a noticeable effect on his players.

Marko defeat William & Mary Frisky Clemson

remains tough into 2nd half

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

men’s tennis Duke 6 The team’s quest for a W& M 0 national championship is under way. Ranked fifth in the nation, the Blue Devils (1-0) opened their spring season with a decisive 6-0 rout of William & Mary yesterday at the Sheffield Tennis Center. Duke withstood somewhat of a challenge in doubles before unloading on the Tribe (3-3) with a sweep in singles. “We wanted to come out here and not look at them like the 68th-ranked team in the country,” said sophomore Mike Yani, who played No. 6 singles and received his first start at No. 1 doubles yesterday. “We wanted to treat them as if they were top 10 and just practice that

mentality. We didn’t take this team lightly at all, we were really fired up.” Despite their enthusiasm, the Blue Devils received a test early as the Tribe came within striking distance of taking the one point for doubles. While freshman Phillip King and senior Marko Cerenko, Duke’s top two players in singles, cruised to an 8-3 victory in their proset at No. 3 doubles, the top two teams for the Blue Devils both found themselves in a back-and-forth struggle. Yani and Ramsey Smith dug themselves into an early hole at No. 1 doubles, falling behind 7-4 and leaving William & Mary’s 17th-ranked tandem of Trevor Spracklin and Patrick Brown two opportunities to serve out the proset. But Smith and Yani fought back, sandwiching an easy service hold by Yani with two impressive breaks of serve to square the proset at 7-7. As quickly as it had rallied to a tie, however, Duke’s top pair gave its break advantage right back when Smith double-faulted once and Yani dumped an overhead and a forehand volley into the net. Following another impressive break of serve that included a topspin lob by Smith to fight off match point and back-to-back forehand winners by Yani, the doubles pair eventually stumbled in the tiebreaker.

CLEMSON from page 15

NEAL PATEL/THE CHRONICLE

JOEL SPICHER plays No. 5 singles for Duke Smith the rest of the afternoon off in order to work Yani into the singles lineup. Duke had little trouble across the board, as King, Cerenko, Alex Bose, Joel Spicher and Yani all boasted straight-set victories. Playing at No. 1 singles, King fell behind 5-2 in the first set before proceeding on a tear in which he won 11 of the final 12 games over Spracklin. “I felt like Phillip was pressing a little bit in the first set,” Lapidus said. “Every freshman has a little problem the first time in dual matches where they’re looking around and wondering how their teammates are doing. Phillip had a lot of friends there today and it took him a little bit of time to regain his concentration. I knew once he settled in that he was going to roll.”

“The momentum shifted really fast at the end,” Smith said. “We were playing pretty well to break back three times. They started oft playing unbelievably and we weren’t really into it.” Fortunately for Duke, Smith and Yani’s 9-8 defeat came about 15 minutes after seniors Andres Pedroso and Ted Rueger secured the doubles point with a narrow 8-6 victory at No. 2 doubles. Rueger and Pedroso battled Joe Brooks and Brian Lubin serve for serve as each team player held through the first 13 games. With the match’s first point on the line, however, the Blue Devils’ seniors pulled out the proset’s first break of serve to start the ball rolling for Duke. Having safely tucked away the doubles point, Duke coach JayLapidus gave

runs, but we could never put them away. We saw a lot of game pressure.” Even though that huge Duke run that has become so familiar to Blue Devil fans never truly materialized, the team finally pulled away in the latter stages of the second half, outscoring the Tigers by 15 over the final 11 minutes. Ofspecial note last night was the Blue Devils’ play on the glass. The team combined to have 44 rebounds, with both Mike Dunleavy and Battier posting double-doubles. Dunleavy played possibly his best game of the season, nearly doubling his previous career high of nine rebounds with 17, and Battier chipped in 10 boards. The two forwards also came through on the offensive end of the court, scoring 17 and 15 points, respectively. “We’ve been rebounding better,” Krzyzewski said. “For Dunleavy to come in and get 17 and 17 was a little ridiculous.” Krzyzewski was also pleased with defense. Against Duke’s stifling perimeter defense, Clemson made just l-of-12 three-pointers. Will Solomon, the ACC’s leading scorer at 22.4 points per game, was held to just l-for-7 shooting from beyond the arc. Stopping Solomon was a focus of the Duke game plan, and it was yet another responsibility thrust onto James’ broad shoulders. James truly rose to the occasion, hounding Solomon to just 25 percent shooting and 11 points on 16 shots. While much of the pregame buzz surrounded two guards—the two leading scorers in the league—it was Duke’s trio of forwards who delivered. Dunleavy, James and Battier combined to provide nearly 73 percent of Duke’s points and over 77 percent of its rebounds. “Clemson is a really tough place to play,” Battier said. “We just wanted to come out and play well tonight, and I think we did.”

James rocks Littlejohn with career-high 27 points

The defensive titan held the ACC’s leading scorer to half of his average CLEMSON, S.C. On a night when the Blue Devils hardly flew to victory, the wings that them. Nate James’ career-high 27 points and stellar defense against ACC leading scorer Will Solomon and Mike Dunleavy’s 17 points and 17 rebounds steadied Duke over a pesky Clemson team, 81-64.

Tyler Rosen Game Commentary Coach Mike Krzyzewski was effusive in his praise ofthe senior James. “Nate was a man tonight,” he said. “On both ends of the floor, he was spectacular.” James’ line, which was impressive with 27 points, seven rebounds and a steal, does not begin to tell the tale of his game. Even more important than his offensive contribution, James dogged Solomon all over the court. He attempted to keep the ball out of the talented scorer’s hands by playing tight defense as far as 35 feet from the basket.

When Solomon did get the ball, James contained

and tunneled him toward Shane Battier or whomever else was providing the help. All too often, Solomon, who turned the ball over seven times last night, found himself trapped by two or three Duke defenders. James also contained Solomon’s shooting, holding the guard who averages 22.4 points per game to just 11 on 4-for-16 shooting. Offensively, James carried the team, especially in the game’s opening minutes. On the opening possession, James drove hard to the basket for a layup. He

followed that with two three-point baskets; at the first official timeout, the score was James 8, Clemson 2. While James was starting the game with blistering scoring, Dunleavy was beginning his quiet and methodical work under the basket. His previous career best for rebounding was nine, set against

Boston College this year. By halftime, he had

matched that number. Although Dunleavy had difficulty on defense trying to defend the quick 6-foot-l guard Tony Stockman, he used the height advantage to its fullest on offense, where he scored many of his points inside. Clemson made repeated attempts on Duke’s lead, but each time, someone on Duke stepped up and killed the momentum. Not surprisingly, it was James a disproportionate number of times. Shortly after Littlejohn Coliseum erupted following a turnover by Jason Williams, Duke looked like it might be in trouble. Solomon tried to cut Duke’s lead further by running the ball up the floor, right into where James had planted himself. When the official’s hand touched the back of his head and the other pointed back in the direction Solomon had just come, James knew he had just made game-changing play. This was the second offensive foul that James forced Solomon to commit, but James was not quite done. With 2:08 left to play, he put a beautiful final nail in Clemson’s coffin. Driving along the baseline, he soared between defenders to slam the ball through the hoop. Krzyzewski recognized James’s accomplishments and the clutch nature of many of his plays. “I think that was Nate’s best game,” he said. “And we needed it or else we would have come out ofhere with our second conference loss.” On a night when Battier was quiet, Carlos Boozer only scored nine points and sophomore star Williams was held to single-digit scoring and double-figure turnovers, it was the two starters with the lowest scoring averages who came through, demonstrating the parity among Duke’s starters. “Our wings picked us up, when some other REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE aspects of our game weren’t working,” the Duke coach said. NATE JAMES dunks the ball in the second half last night.

level. Ten games into the conference season, Mosch currently leads the ACC in field goal percentage (60.4) after scoring an average of more than 23 points since Duke’s nail-biting victory over the Wolfpack. Mosch’s rise to superstardom in the ACC resulted from a startling increase in aggressiveness by the shooting guard, who picked up the scoring mantle in her teammate’s absence. Although it seemed unlikely three weeks ago, Duke stayed the course without Beard and went a perfect 4-0 during a difficult stretch that included Virginia, North Carolina and Clemson. “She has seen our team do well without her so she doesn’t feel like she’s let the team down,” said coach Gail Goestenkors, who added that Beard has been playing with a lot of energy in practice, especially on the defensive end. Beard recovered rather quickly, as she was able to run only a couple days after dislocating her thumb without risk of reinjury. Since the injury was to her non-shooting hand, the Blue Devil freshman was also able to work on her jump shot, with extra emphasis placed on moving to her left. Joe Angus, trainer for the women’s basketball program, said Beard will wear a fiberglass splint until the conclusion of the ACC tournament in order to prevent the thumb from bending outward, which could potentially tear out her stitches. While her team showed a considerable improvement that culminated in a 50-point romp 11 days ago, Beard also noted upgrades in her own game. Still,

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Iciss Tillis had her best game of the year against Brooke Wyckoff; they are similar players who can both step outside and cause damage. Wyckoff has been awesome lately, scoring 30 points against Georgia Tech, but Alana Beard’s return after a three-week absence makes Duke very strong in the frontcourt.

If any part of Duke’s team is energized, it is the backcourt, where Schweitzer will force the Seminoles to control her from beyond the three-point line. Mosch will likely continue to take many shots, as she leads the ACC in field goal percentage and is averaging 23.2 points in the last five games.

Outside

Shinikki Whiting and Lauren Bradley provide the Seminoles some relief, but they cannot match the talent of Michele Matyasovksy and Rometra Craig, who started in Beard’s spot the past three weeks. Vicki Krapohl has been playing well in practice and had a decent time at Wake Forest.

c Q)

Well, you'd really like to give something to Florida State, but this is a game at Cameron, Alana Beard is back and after sweeping top-25 opponents N.C. State, Clemson and Virginia without her, the Blue Devils have had a week off to rest and practice. So all the momentum goes to Duke. Can Gail Goestenkors and Duke be stopped? Doubtful. With a four-game lead in the race for the ACC regular-season title, it sure looks like the Blue Devils are unstoppable. As long as Duke doesn’t come out stale, it should be a solid win tonight. With Beard’s return and Mosch’s emergence as a go-to player, the Blue Devils will be playing as well Compiled by Kevin Lees as any team in the nation. Duke wins 92-77.

the matchup between fellow freshman Iciss Tillis and her Florida State counterpart Brooke Wyckoff. The last time the two programs squared off, Tillis stepped out from the low post and unloaded a pair of gamebreaking three-pointers over Wyckoff that turned a tight game into a 13-point Duke victory. Recently, however, it has been Wyckoff who has been lighting up the scoreboard. During Florida State’s 20-point blowout of Georgia Tech Monday night, the Seminoles’ senior tallied a career-high 30 points on 3-for-6 three-point shooting. “[Florida State’s] seniors in particular are putting the team on their shoulders and trying to carry them into the NCAA tournament,” said Goestenkors, whose team has had a week ofrest since defeating Wake Forest by eight points last Thursday in Winston-Salem. Note; Krista Gingrich, who has been recovering the last six weeks from a pair of calf injuries, has also been cleared by the medical staff, but Goestenkors said she will not play the junior point guard until she has more time to get into game shape.

Bender struggles with Huskies this season >

to me that if you want to coach, you have to re-energize yourself with the same competitiveness that you had as a player,” he said. “I think personality-wise I’m not that different than Mike, but you can’t be Mike, you have to be yourself.” While Bender insists on maintaining his own personality, few would criticize him for trying to mirror other of aspects Krzyzewski’s program. He can not say enough about how much he credits Krzyzewski for helping him develop into the coach that he is today.

Huskies’ first postseason appearance since 1987 and earning the young Bender the honor of Pac-10 coach of the year. After another NIT bid in 1997, Krzyzewski’s winning ways became even more apparent in Bender’s program when in 1998 the Huskies were given an NCAA tournament berth. Bender’s team achieved a 20-10 regular season record and reached the Sweet 16 before losing to Jim Calhoun’s feisty Connecticut squad. Washington reached the tournament again in 1999 before posting a ‘That’s the that disappointing 10-20 record last seathing [Krzyzewski] has done a great job son.

Duke when Bender was an assistant, praised Bender’s ability to relate to the players. “His understanding of what goes on and what the players have to go through as student-athletes here was invaluable,” Dawkins said. Leaving his Blue Devil family wasn’t easy for Bender, but it was a necessary step in his climb through the coaching ranks. He left Duke to serve as head coach at Illinois State in 1990, and in 1994 he accepted an offer to coach in the Pac-10 at Washington. Despite being 3,000 miles away, Bender never forgot all that he learned from Krzyzewski. “The philosophies of what we do offensively and defensively are all things that Coach K teaches and I believe in,” Bender said. “But one of the things when you get your first head coaching job is that you take what you believe in, but you have to do it within your own personality, and within... the program that

you’re taking over. “You can’t make Illinois State [into] Duke, and you can’t make Washington [into] Duke. You have to [coach] within those institutions’ personalities.” Just as different programs have their own personalities, so too do basketball coaches. And just as Bender saw aspects of Duke’s program that he liked, the 43-year-old tries to emulate certain traits of Duke’s coach as well. “I think my personality is shaped a lot by Mike because he pointed out
