Central rebuilding may be year s off Duke aims Reconstruction to spread boasts critics, fans its name

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

As undergraduates prepare to choose their housing for next year, campuswide attention is focusing on the construction of the West-Edens Link, the approaching overhaul of West Campus and how the two projects will affect student life. Absent from these discussions, however, is the condition of the Central

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Campus apartments, seen by both residents and administrators as nearing the time for demolition and reconstruction. Built in the early 19705, the apartments house mostly undergraduates and some graduate students. “The apartment buildings are getting near the end of their useful life, and I expect we will begin planning in three to five years,” said Tallman Trask, executive vice president. “The real question is what form will the plan take.... I sense a general agreement that what we have now is not what should be there.” Guiding any planning will likely be the campus’ Master Plan, which—while short on specifics and timelines—does outline a vague vision for Central’s future. Released in May 2000, the plan calls for higher density housing with mixed commercial use

and for increased interaction with the rest ofcampus.

CENTRAL CAMPUS APARTMENTS like these at 1915 Yearby St. have undergone significant renovation over the years, but they will not be rebuilt for several years.

This spring, President Nan Keohane will visit Latin America as part of the University’s efforts to make a name for itself abroad. But in spite of her and other administrators’ regular visits to other countries and Duke’s international recruiting efforts, international students say they barely even heard the name “Duke” before they came to school. “[Students are saying] Duke is not as wellknown as Stanford, Harvard, Yale and the rest. These are places that have been in business a lot longer than Duke has,” said Laney Funderburk, associate vice president of alumni affairs and development. “Twenty-five years from now, that’s going to change. It’s going to be slow, and it’s going to evolve. That’s just the nature of the beast. We’ve gotten started.” But Funderburk and other administrators who are working to raise the University’s profile say change is slow to come. Indeed, raising Duke’s profile is no easy task. It requires regular visits abroad; already this year, admissions officials have been See INTERNATIONAL on page 6 �

slide victory of Prime Ministerelect Ariel Sharon. Senior Israeli officials expressed public approval of the successful mission to kill Massoud Ayyad, whom Israel holds responsible for a failed mortar bomb attack on a Jewish settlement in Gaza earlier this week and for unrealized plans to kidnap Israelis. Ehud Barak, the caretaker prime minister, sent congratulations to the army and security services, declaring that the killing sent a message to those who would attack Israel: “The long arm of the Israeli Defense Forces will reach them.” The assassination took place as

New York Times News Service

JERUSALEM Two Israeli helicopter gunships swooped over northern Gaza Tuesday morning and dropped four missiles on the car of a senior Palestinian security officer, instantly killing a man Israel considered a terrorist in a colonel’s uniform. Palestinian officials quickly condemned Israel for acting like “a state above the law” in its continued use of assassinations to eliminate Palestinian militants. Such actions, they said, only added “fuel to the fire” burning on the Palestinian streets, where stepped-up violence has greeted the Feb. 6 land-

Israel’s two leading political parties, Likud and Labor, were formulating guidelines for a unity government based on the newly shared view that agreement with the Palestinians on the final status of an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord is presently unreachable. Under such guidelines, Israel’s two major parties would agree implicitly that such explosive issues as the future status of Jerusalem, refugees and settlements be deferred along with the resolution of the 52-year, blood-soaked conflict. “The formulations are based on the fundamental assumption that we will concentrate on interim See GAZA on page 8 �

Greenspan: Economy not in recession By RICHARD STEVENSON New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON While warning that the economy still faces substantial risks, Alan Greenspan, the Federal Reserve chair, said Tuesday that the United States is not in a recession and that the current downturn could prove to be as short as it is sharp. Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee less than two hours after the government reported that retail sales in January were stronger than expected, Greenspan said the “exceptional weakness so evident in a number ofeconomic indicators toward the end of last year” had apparently not carried fully into the new year. “At the moment, we are not,” Greenspan said when he was asked if the economy was in recession.

Greenspan did not directly address whether the central bank is likely to continue with its campaign ofaggressive interest-rate reductions at its next policy-making meeting March 20. The Fed cut shortterm interest rates twice last month, by half a percentage point each time, in an effort to keep the abrupt slowdown from bringing an end to the long business expansion. But Greenspan’s analysis of economic conditions suggested further rate reductions are likely, if perhaps not so certain as assumed by investors and analysts in recent days. The response to his testimony in the financial markets was muted.

Developers have eyes on New Hope Commons area Two North Carolina land developers are hoping to build hotels, shops or car dealerships in an environmentally fragile part of Durham By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle hub of commercial activity for members of the A University community, and students especially, will soon grow if N.C. developers have their way. Developers from across the state have begun lobbying the city council to rezone the area around New Hopes Commons, which currently houses Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble. Two different developers from Raleigh and Charlotte are proposing to build large office complexes, hotels and a series of car dealerships in the area already noted for its environmental sensitivity and traffic. Current zoning regulations divide the region into residential, commercial and mixed-use zones. Charlotte-based Core Properties Inc. has proposed a new set of car dealerships along Chapel Hill Boulevard, just off Highway 15-501. The dealership would sit on

over 100 acres of land and take up 133,225 square feet in auto lots. The developer also proposed a nearby 278,000 square-foot complex that would include hotels

and shops. But Core Properties is not alone in its hope to develop the property; Raleigh’s AnthonyAllenton Commercial Real Estate has also petitioned to have the land rezoned so that it can build a set of office buildings and a hotel. “This is a unique opportunity for Durham to have a comprehensive plan for development in the area,” said Rich Bafta, a principal agent with Core Properties, which is representing a number of landowners on the project.

The proposal, which was made last week, will have to be approved by the city planner and finally the city council. The plan will most likely receive a mixed welcome from the council. Within the last decade, the council has

twice narrowly rejected proposals to build large discount department stores in the New Hope Commons area. Indeed, not everyone is convinced that the proposal is a good idea. County commissioner Becky Heron said she is concerned that the area is not the best place to

add another hotel and that downtown Durham could benefit from the such improvements. “We don’t want to encourage urban sprawl,” she said. For some, the proposed area is uncomfortably close to the New Hope Creek; therefore, the city has established a high environmental standard for construction in the area. The steep slope of the land makes the possibility of contaminated runoff in the creek a large concern. City council member Erick Larson said any proposal would have to adequately address such concerns in order to receive his vote. See

INSIDE THE NATION

Non-genetic factors affect Alzheimer’s

A team of Indiana University School of Medicine doctors compared Alzheimer’s levels in rural parts of Nigeria with black residents of Indianapolis and found that the Americans developed the disease at twice the rate of their Nigerian counterparts. Since the ancestors of most blacks in the United States came from western Africa, the dramatic differences cannot be attributed solely to genetics. Researchers believe that an significant cause for the difference may be a higher incidence of vascular disease in the United States. •

Fruit diet has no effect on breast cancer

An analysis of eight separate studies and over 350,000 patients by researchers at Harvard’s School ot Public Health concluded that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables does not directly reduce breast cancer in adults. The latest finding, published in today's Journal of the American Medical Association, contradicts a 1997 review by the American Institute for Cancer Research. Although scientists believe that a diet high in fruits and vegetables will have the greatest impact before adulthood, they still advocate the diet’s positive effect on heart disease. •

Low-level noise leads to higher stress

Cornell researchers reported that loud construction equipment outside and a pesky boss inside are not the only factors that increase stress levels at the workplace. Their study showed that even low-level noise—such as background speech—in an openstyle office can cause an increase in blood levels of epinephrine, a common indicator of stress.

Discovery hints at a new form of matter

Over 2,000 years ago, Archimedes dipped a king’s crown into water to ascertain whether it was made of pure gold. Last week, a team of international physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory used a similar method to uncover evidence about new types of matter. The scientists lowered subatomic particles called muons into a pure vacuum and then carefully measured their interactions with other unseen and yet undiscovered particles. •

Humor’s healing power proven again

Charlie Chaplin made his way into the Journal of the American Medical Association today thanks to Japanese researchers who found that exposure to his comedic classic "Modern Times" shrank skin welts in allergy patients. Although the lead author of the study was not sure why the laughing seemed to help, other experts suggested that the healing power of humor may stem from the fact that laughing decreases stress. Previous studies have shown that stress can undermine the body’s immune system.

THIS WEEK’S HEALTH TIP

•

Protect your skin from the harsh winter

Since winter air is low in humidity, exposure to it can result in constant loss of moisture from the skin. This is particularly bad news for body surfaces that depend on moisture to remain intact, smooth and easily pliable. To keep your skin healthy, dermatologists suggest setting the thermostat as low as possible, while still retaining a reasonable degree of comfort, and wearing soft clothing indoors, such as flannel pajamas. Long hot showers, although they may feel great during the winter months, are not a great idea because they wash away the body’s natural moisture-retaining oils. Finally, applying a moisturizing cream to your hands before you go outside is also a good idea.

director of the Duke Stop Smoking Clinic has developed a system he calls QuitSmart that targets both the psychological as well as the physical aspects of the addiction. The project’s short guidebook has distributed more than 125,000 copies since the program’s inception in 1985. One of the major innovations in Shipley’s approach is that he makes a clear distinction between being a nonsmoker and not smoking. “When someone enters my office miserable because they want a cigarette, that’s not a nonsmoker,” Shipley said. ‘That’s a smoker who is not smoking.” And Shipley's program is designed to turn these patients into nonsmokers. ‘Through either group or individual treatment, we basically try to hit all the prongs of a nicotine addiction,” Shipley said. “If you’ve smoked a pack per day for 20 years, that’s over a million puffs,” Shipley said. “It just doesn’t feel right for a smoker to get up in the morning and not have a cigarette.” Many smokers have also developed an emotional dependency on cigarettes—whereas a nonsmoker may call a friend when they’re feeling down, a smoker will light a cigarette. Ann Poore, a journalist from Salt Lake City who quit smoking two weeks ago, was one of Shipley’s patients. Poore smoked a pack and a half each day for more than 25 years. She had quit smoking once before and stayed free of cigarettes for more than a year before she finally succumbed to the craving. This time, however, her experience is proving different. “I have no cravings now,” she said. “I used to want a cigarette all the time. Everyone was telling me to start smoking again because I was very moody.” To combat the nicotine addiction, the QuitSmart program uses a “warm chicken” method, as opposed to the “cold

turkey” approach. Patients begin by switching from their favorite brand of cigarettes to a label that has a lower level of nicotine. A week later, they switch to a cigarette with even less nicotine. By the time the quit date arrives and the patients switch to medication like a nicotine patch, they have already lowered their nicotine intake levels significantly. A key ingredient in this step-down process is choice—a smoker who prefers nonfilter Camels can choose to switch to one of more than 30 different lower-nicotine brands. To help smokers break their habit, Shipley uses the Better Quit cigarette, a plastic tube that looks like a cigarette but contains no nicotine. Since smokers’ brains have come to associate the cigarette as an object with a hit of nicotine, Shipley encourages smokers to take puffs of fresh air from the Better Quit. Its lack of nicotine will eventually sever the association. “That really worked for me,” Poore said. “I wondered how I’d drive without smoking, but I found that the fake cigarette helped.” Shipley addresses the emotional dependency of cigarettes by having patients listen to a hypnosis tape that helps them relax and focus on the more pleasurable aspects of life. “The unconscious mind works only in positives,” Shipley said. “The tape sug-

gests things like clean air and deep breathing.” Patients also use the money they save by not smoking to buy themselves an instantly gratifying gift. Poore, for example, buys fresh-cut flowers jvith the money she used to spend on cigarettes.

As a former smoker, Shipley realizes fully how difficult it is to stop smoking. Even the most complete programs designed to help people quit have only a 25 percent one-year quit rate. That means that within one year of the quit date, three-fourths of the patients will take up smoking once again. Additional studies have shown that 95 percent of smokers who take a single puff after their quit date quickly pick up the habit again. “The addiction is that powerful,” Shipley said. The problem with smoking, he added, is that unlike alcoholism or other drug addictions, cigarettes are a time-bomb—their real effect may not be felt for decades. Alcohol and heroin, on the other hand, have an immediate impact on someone’s life; these substances destroy families and cause people to lose their jobs. Therefore, Shipley explained, it is difficult for many smokers to take their addiction seriously and put in the energy to stop. His program, though, has lessened this burden enough that thousands have quit smoking “warm chicken.”

Human genome similar to ‘lower’ animals’ By RICHARD SALTUS The Boston Globe

Humbled by their first look at man’s complete set of genes, scientists say it will take years to understand how humankind evolved from a DNA blueprint that is remarkably similar to so-called “lower” animals. That striking similarity was the biggest surprise to scientists from public and private teams who released the first readout of the complete set of DNA instructions in human cells—the “human genome.” At press conferences in Washington and in other countries Monday scientists said the genome—likened to a recipe book or parts list for the human body—contains 30,000 genes, or separate messages—only about one-third as many as had been predicted and only about twice as many as fruit flies.

And, it turns out, there’s nothing so special about human genes. The common mouse has genes that are similar to all but some 300 human genes, reported Craig Venter, leader of the private-sector genome effort. The two teams largely agreed on what the genome messages say.

“The abiding mystery of the genome is how we became so complex with such a relatively small number of genes,” Eric Lander, head of the genome sequencing center at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass., said in a briefing last week. Venter said the low number of genes should dispel some ofthe “genetic determinism” that has accompanied the genetic revolution, as pundits have speculated about genes that cause a wide array of human behaviors and diseases. A large number of genes would be

comforting to people “who say, “You must have your father’s gene for noses and your mother’s gene for ears,”’ he said in an interview. “We talk about a gay gene and a criminality gene—if you’re a determinist then every behavior is linked to a gene,” Venter said, adding that the environment plays a large part in behavioral and other traits perhaps a larger part than had been suspected. It had long been thought that each gene contained the instructions for one protein, and the genome search would turn up more than 100,000 genes, with 100,000 corresponding proteins. But scientists say the low number of human genes and their lack of uniqueness suggests that a single gene can be used by a cell to make several proteins, either by altering the recipe slightly, or modifying the protein after it is made.

Bush breaks with Pentagon, plans new weapons arsenal By DAVID SANGER

New York Times News Service

President George NORFOLK, Va. W. Bush said Tuesday that he planned to break with Pentagon orthodoxy and create “a new architecture for defense of our people,” investing in new technologies and weapons systems rather than making “marginal improvements” for systems in which America’s arms industry has invested billions of dollars. In his second speech on national security this week, Bush appeared to take sides in a long-brewing debate in the military establishment over whether to invest in entirely new technologies and weapons systems, even if that means neglecting older and outdated systems for years until the next generation of arms is available. His strategy is also bound to set off a scramble within American industry—especially among a new group of software companies and others who have not traditionally served as defense contractors —for tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in new Pentagon contracts. It remains to be seen whether Bush can execute the kind of sweeping changes he suggested Tuesday; many presidents, including Bush’s father, ran up against the Pentagon bureaucracy, entrenched members of Congress and local interests that make it all but impossible to kill a weapons system, no matter how outdated, that is already in production. “We do not know yet the

exact share of our future military,” Bush said, “but we know the direction we must begin to travel. On land, our heavy forces will be lighter, our light forces will be more lethal. All will be easier to deploy and to sustain. In the air, we will be able to strike across the world with pinpoint accuracy, using both aircraft and unmanned systems.” Over the course of his administration, Tuesday’s speech is likely to become the measure of Bush’s success in altering not only the Pentagon, but its strategy and its structure. But the new president also stressed Tuesday that he was unwilling to spend much on his new plans until Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who sat beside him during his speech to Navy personnel here, completed a comprehensive review of American strategy and force structures. Bush offered no specifics Tuesday, apart from saying he had given Rumsfeld “a broad mandate to challenge the status quo.” In next year’s budget, the president said, he would provide only $2.6 billion in additional hinds for research and development. That represents an increase of only about 6 percent over existing levels—an increase Republicans in Congress said was far too low. Bush acknowledged that the amount he was proposing was hardly the kind of money needed to rethink an entire arsenal, but said “before we make our full investment, we must know our exact priorities.”

Alumni network hinders international reputation � INTERNATIONAL from page 1 to Turkey and Egypt. In addition to Keohane’s visit to Latin America, other officials will travel to Asia later this spring. And several other hurdles, including a nascent international alumni network, a relatively low percentage of international students and the school’s environment for international students, stands in administrators’ way. For starters, Duke has developed alumni clubs in 25 cities across the world, and several were developed following visits by Keohane. ‘The alumni [ties! are definitely necessary. It’s relatively underdeveloped for Duke,” said freshman Tora Unuvar, a member of the International Association. “Other schools have much more developed alumni associations. I don’t think they offered an interview when I was in Ireland. Other schools do.” International students said they feel the alumni network abroad should be more developed than it is right now. Members ofthe International Council a group that deals with the political issues affecting international students say they have tried contacting alumni clubs abroad and have not found active members in a variety ofplaces. “We’ve [tried] to contact these alumni organizations. They’re very unresponsive and say they haven’t met in a long time,” said IC President Hussain Reza, a senior. “The international Duke community is growing stronger by the year. It’s now at a stage where there’s no justification that we shouldn’t have a stronger alumni network.” Funderburk said the University has kept track of 97 percent of its alumni, but that the proportion is lower for the estimated 2,000 international alumni who live abroad. He said the lengthy and unique nature of international addresses makes it particularly difficult to locate alumni. But with the popularity of e-mail, administrators hope to solve this problem. —

—

“E-mail is revolutionizing the way we do business in terms of communicating with people,” said Bob Booth, Keohane’s special assistant for international development. “It makes things much more efficient. I think the University’s doing an even better job of maintaining its alumni records and things ofthat nature.” In addition, administrators and students pointed out the University has historically had a lower number of international students in comparison to its peer institutions, but that is changing by the day. The University belongs to various international admissions organizations and has made ties with admissions counselors abroad. “We haven’t had a well-developed alumni base overseas, but I don’t think that’s the main part,” said Phyllis Supple, associate director of undergraduate admissions. “Some of it is that we haven’t had a large international community at Duke. It’s a combination of a lot of forces that are coming together.” Others say the University must establish a more welcoming community for international students particularly if it wants its alumni to give back either by promoting Duke abroad or, more importantly, by making donations. In an attempt to foster this sense of community, the International Council and the International Association will host an alumni function later this spring, during the annual reunion season. “A significant portion of [international studentsl find it difficult to adjust to life at Duke, primarily because there’s a lack of international feeling in the surrounding community” Reza said. “They tend to settle down and enjoy their Duke experience. That doesn’t mean there aren’t issues that should be addressed.” In fact, over the coming months IC plans to report on several issues concerning international students, including alumni development, orientation and housing concerns, that they feel have not been adequately addressed.

VALENTINES from page

Nathalie Corredor, a Duke senior who dates Tar Heel senior Jeremy Smith. Duke’s event management coordinator Jeanne Kirschner, a former track athlete who graduated from Duke in 1994, met her husband, UNC assistant athletic director and director of sports information Steve Kirschner, at a track meet. The Kirschner couple said their connection to athletics makes their Duke-UNC relationship even more unique. “It’s a different perspective because now I know most of their coaches. So it’s very much a joking relationship that we have,” Kirschner said. “There is definitely a rivalry there and one thing my husband does is refuse to drink out of the plastic Duke cups I

Kirschner said that at their wedding, it seemed more appropriate to ask their guests if they were Blue Devils or Tar Heels rather than guests of the bride or groom. Being married to a Tar Heel also raises the tough question of which college your children should cheer for most. “I’d be happy if they went to either school, but the biggest problem we will have is what to dress them in,”

said Kirschner, who does not yet have children. Virgin explained that even though he is not yet married and does not have children, he already has the clothes situation figured out. “There’s a huge dispute about what we’re going to do with the kids,” Virgin said. “I’ve already told her that as for the girls, she can dress them as she wants in UNC gear, but the guys are mine.”

Palestinians lose hope for peace as violence continues � GAZA from page 2

A PALESTINIAN POLICEMAN examines the remains of a Palestinian car that was hit by Israeli helicopter rockets in Gaza, killing Palestinian security officer Massoud Ayyad.

agreements,” said the mayor of Jerusalem, Ehud Olmert, who represents the Likud Party in the negotiations. “The idea of negotiations on final status actually has dropped off the Israeli agenda.” The idea remains on the Palestinians’ agenda, however. Palestinian officials discard the idea of an interim peace agreement and insist that the most recent understandings reached in Taba, Egypt, in January be the floor and not the ceiling for any future talks. In light of this, Yossi Beilin, the outgoing justice minister, railed at his fellow Laborites for agreeing too readily that their path toward peace has reached a dead end. Beilin is one of the few senior Labor officials who oppose an increasingly likely unity government between Likud and Labor under Sharon. “If we give up on a final-status arrangement, if we in the Labor Party lend a hand to this, we will also be lending a hand to a situation of diplomatic and violent deterioration in our region,” Beilin said. “Because without a ray of light, without a glimmer of hope of a final-status arrangement, all the talk about interim arrangements are hot air.” In the West Bank and Gaza, many Palestinians’ limited hope in a negotiated peace agreement was dashed in

the last six months of failed negotiations, explosive violence and economic devastation. In releasing findings Tuesday about

the economic impact of the continuing conflict and the Israeli border closings, Teije Roed-Larsen, the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, said “anger and uncertainty” have replaced many Palestinians’ hopes for peace. According to the findings, the Palestinian economy is now losing $8.6 million a day. Some 250,000 Palestinians, or 38 percent of the workforce, are unemployed, compared with 11 percent for the first nine months of 2000. Some 32 percent of the population is living in poverty, a 50 percent increase since the crisis began last fall. And the Palestinian government is facing a fiscal crisis, due in large part to Israel’s withholding of value-added tax and customs revenues collected for the Palestinian Authority. Israel owes roughly $5O million to the Palestinian government, diplomats say, and last month the Palestinians were unable to pay the salaries of public employees until the international donor community bailed them out. “I have met with both Barak and Sharon, and my line is that it is also in the interest of Israel that the Palestinian Authority doesn’t collapse,” RoedLarsen said in an interview.

Greenspan doubts Bush’s tax cut would affect downturn GREENSPAN from page 2 Stocks retreated in late trading from their modest gains earlier in the day. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 43.45 points, or 0.4 percent, to

10,903.32, while the technology-weighted Nasdaq

composite index dropped 61.93 points, or 2.5 percent,

to 2,427.73. Bond prices slipped, and the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves in the opposite direction, rose to 5.06 percent in late trading Tuesday from 5.04 percent Monday. A number of the questions from members of the Senate Banking Committee centered on Greenspan’s endorsement of a tax cut. Greenspan said a tax cut could help the economy in the unlikely event that the nation was entering a prolonged recession. But he cast doubt on the Bush administration’s contention that passing a tax cut quickly would help the economy recover from a short, sharp downturn. “It is most unlikely that if we go through a regular recession that any tax cut can be enacted sufficiently quickly to alter the probability of whether we will, indeed, find ourselves in a recession,” Greenspan said. In his semi-annual report on monetary policy,

Greenspan said the long-term outlook remained bright because the technology revolution had led to a surge in the economy’s productive capacity that showed no signs of abating. Should productivity growth remain robust, the Fed chair said, it could wipe out some of the long-term problems facing the country, even the projected insolvency of the Social Security system in coming decades. “What we are learning with these changing productivity numbers is that a major alteration in how we view our future, how we view Social Security, how we view our fiscal affairs” will be necessary, Greenspan said. But he said the same technological forces that have led to a resurgence in the growth rate ofproductivity, or output per hour, have also made the economy more prone to abrupt, though temporary, downturns. Because businesses can monitor demand for their products minute by minute, they can adjust their own output almost instantaneously to reduce inventories of unsold goods and unused supplies. And because they can see better what is happening across the economy, different businesses and industries increasingly tend to respond in concert to the same data. “The result is not only a faster adjustment, but

one that is potentially more synchronized, compressing changes into an even shorter time frame,” Greenspan said When individuals see the economy slowing suddenly, he said, they respond, quite naturally, with concern and even fear, compounding the economic impact. “While technology has quickened production adjustments, human nature remains unaltered,” Greenspan said. “We respond to a heightened pace of change and its associated uncertainty in the same way we always have: We withdraw from action, postpone decisions and generally hunker down until a renewed, more comprehensible basis for acting emerges.” For now, though, consumer confidence remains at levels that suggest the economy will continue to grow, he said, and Wall Street analysts continue to predict strong corporate earnings over the long run. And, he said, productivity growth appears to be holding up well, suggesting that the economy could rebound quickly. “If the forces contributing to long-term productivity growth remain intact, the degree ofretrenchment will presumably be limited,” he said. “Before long in this scenario, excess inventories would be run off to desired levels.”

less popular housing option with students is unclear, although the number of undergraduates choosing Central did drop from 827 in fall 1999 to 796 in fall 2000.

But Shameika Taylor, treasurer of Central Campus Council, said most residents are happy with their apartments. “I’m pleased with the apartments, and I find visitors have been, too,” the junior said. “The problem I see with the apartments is that renovations should be consistent. Some people should not have new refrigerators when other people don’t.” Taylor also suggested bringing more social space to Central, where past administrative attempts to add programming venues have met with little student interest. “Central residents are always going to West or East to do things,” she said. “I think it would be better if people had a place to go and just hang out.” Investment in Central has taken a back seat as new construction currently is focused on the WEL, which will eventually replace Trent Dormitory as undergraduate housing. Trask said that was a conscious decision by the University, reflecting its current priorities. “We wanted more students to have the experience of living on West. It creates more unity within each class and it’s an important part of the Duke experience,” Trask said. “[Central] is on our

million football building, planned renovations of Perkins Library that will likely reach $5O million, construction of a new engineering plaza and other projects are already putting long-term financial and construction burdens on the University.

“There’s a lot of concern as to how much construction we can have at the same time, but we’ve been careful to sequence the projects so that not too many overlap,” Trask said. Aside from funding constraints, construction projects raise difficulties for

the areas around them. In addition to being eye-sores, projects can significantly disrupt traffic and parking, as was the case when the WEL project displaced one of the main undergraduate parking lots.

Trask said construction is further complicated by last fall’s passage of $3.1 billion in bonds for public higher education infrastructure in North Carolina, which will provide money to modernize the state system’s buildings. “There may not always be enough construction companies available to do all the work,” Trask said.

Picking the Young Trustee

Almost

since its inception, the Young Trustee selection process has undergone near-constant change. In fact, over the last few years, several significant changes have been made. And although the process has netted fine trustees in the end, it seems to have some significant flaws, especially in its attracting of applicants and nominating process. Any student can apply to become a candidate for Young Trustee, but few students know about the process. First, the Inter Community Council narrows the pool of applicants to 10 or fewer semifinalists. Then, the ICC whittles the group down to three finalists. These finalists are then voted upon by the members of Duke Student Government and the ICC. The process is coordinated by DSG’s vice president for community interaction. And while this year there was more publicity about the position than before, the 10 semifinalists included eight of the usual suspects—students who have held the top or second-in-command roles in ICC organizations—the biggest organizations on campus. All three finalists came from that subset ofeight, as well. But, publicizing the Young Trustee process is only part of the solution. The nominating committee, itself made up of only student leaders and their anointed replacements, seems to be part of the problem. Student leaders, who are now choosing the Young Trustee, are more likely to be biased toward resumes most like theirs, and even if they have no outward bias, they certainly create a perception that the process is most welcome to those with vita filled with names of student organizations. That is not to say that there is something wrong with having student leaders partake in the Young Trustee process. Students who have led organizations often have more insight into the complex issues that face the University. And student leaders who have been successful in their endeavors should be encouraged to apply to the process. But it wrong to assume that only student leaders are qualified for the position. For example, an undergraduate with exceptional knowledge of business or finance might make an interesting nominee. To rectify the dearth ofthis kind of candidate, the nominating committee must be changed. A nominating committee made up of half ICC members and half random Duke students would be an excellent way to make the process more inviting to the average student. While there may be initial concerns that six random students may not have enough knowledge of the University to adequately serve as selectors of the Young Trustee, these concerns are unfounded. There is a wealth of knowledge available to these students—starting with current and past Young Trustees. Former students who have held this position should make themselves available to the nominating committee and offer their knowledge and talk about their experiences. This new committee should take care of naming both semifinalists and finalists, and then should also vote—along with DSC —on the three finalists. As the student body’s elected representatives, DSG should be the body that names the new trustee. This is another example of how powerful an active student government can be—and students should remember that when they elect their representatives. Anybody can be the next Young Trustee, and changes should be made so that ideal is a reality.

The performing arts deserve praise, expanded space I have been employed at Duke University for more than 14 years, and my first love is playwrighting and

writing children’s books. I applaud the University in its decision to acquire additional performance and rehearsal space for the performing arts and, hopefully, the not-too-distant in future, Duke will move in the direction of elevating the Program in Drama. For the last three years, thanks to Semans Professor

of the Practice Richard and Zannie Voss, assistant professor of the practice, I was able to work on many of the Broadway-

Ridell

bound shows that began at Duke. I offered my services during the evening hours and on weekends in whatever capacity I was needed. As a fledging playwright, I was able to keep my feet wet and work among the best in the country—developing friendships, working hard and honing my talents.

I have had many wonderful memories on each and every one of the shows I’ve worked on, and I encourage anyone else in the Duke community to get involved in the performing arts. The University belongs to you also, and when it’s time for you to receive your ‘Tony award’ don’t forget to mention Duke!

Duke needs to address the low level of black faculty The departure of former vice president for student affairs Janet SmithDickerson coupled with the alcohol related death of a student in the fall of 1999 has taken much of the University spotlight off of the dwindling number of black faculty members in every facet of campus life. With the current abominable state of black student and faculty life on this campus, its not surprising to see that many black administrators are the leaving University faster than they are being recruited. This state of affairs is endemic to the Duke culture, a culture that ostracizes and alienates people ofcolor on every level. Faculty members are as

uncomfortable as students. They have even fewer systems of support, and fewer reasons to stay. A new color crisis is beginning to brew. Now we are being left to fend for ourselves, with no faces like ours in administrative positions to hear our concerns and issues. Soon we will be nothing more than a token photograph in the Duke view book, adding to the false claim of seeking diversity. When will the University live up to its promise of diversity and minority support as stated in the Mission Statement? How many more administrators Have to leave, before we end up with a complete faculty whiteout? The future looks dismal,

but in the meantime the best we can do is wish a fond farewell to the black faculty and administrators that are leaving. We wish we could come with you, but unfortunately we have to wait until May. We give our regards to the members of the classes we leave behind, and we hope that the legacy established by African Americans so many years ago will not be overlooked in the future.

Banished to Trent

The University’s solutions for using the dorm during renovations further proves its hatred of greek life Trent every year. Another has all selective houses in Trent for a year, all fraternities there for a year and all independents there for a year. The third option is to move a portion of each of those group’s members to the Hanoi Hilton, thereby retaining a group’s presence on West. All three are poor at best. Any movement of a living group to Trent would cause massive changes in the group’s membership. Seniors in the group will most likely choose to exercise their right to leave the group and seek alternate housing plans. Freshmen will not want to rush a house they know will be living in Trent the next year. Aside

This idea is ridiculous. The whole point of a selective group is that it is exclusive. The point is for people who live similar lifestyles to live together. It does not make sense to have random people living together who have different perspectives on life that would make it nearly impossible to agree on one common living mode. In the present way, students have free choice by which to make their living decisions. I always found it funny that someone can think a sign outside a dorm is “intimidating.” These are dorms,

The exiled portion of the group would become alienated from the West-bound portion. Again, the sense of community is eliminated. It is no accident that all these options will hurt selective groups. The administration has made clear through its actions that their future plans for Duke do not include selective groups. In the past 12 months, two selective groups have lost their spaces on campus. Those spaces have been filled by independents, not new selective living groups. There are plenty of existing groups that would

Hand them another loss: Duke looks to stop UVa Jason Williams and company will try to shut down Virginia’s leader for the second time this season By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

It was not pretty last time, and based on the past couple performances, it does not figure to be pretty this time either. Back in December, the highly touted Cavaliers rolled into Durham for what many thought would be a great battle

between two top-15 teams. But thanks to some stellar play on the part of the Blue Devils, coupled with an incredibly weak performance by the Cavaliers, it turned into a 103-61 blowout. Part of Virginia’s problem that game was point guard Donald Hand, who shot an uncharacteristic l-for-10 from the floor and turned the ball over seven times as opposed to only five assists. To say the least, when No. 3 Duke (22-2, 10-1 in the ACC) returns the traveling favor to by Charlottesville to face No. 12 Virginia (16-6, 5-6) tonight at 7 p.m., Hand and the Cavs will have to play much better to have a chance. Prior to the last Duke-Virginia matchup, Hand, a senior, had been showing flashes of becoming one ofthe best point guards in the conference. When he came down to Cameron, however, the Blue Devils were able to fluster him early and he returned to his former self—a streaky player who takes unwise shots, makes unwise

passes and has problems when he is

not at University Hall. “They did a great job taking Donald Hand out of the game,” Virginia coach Pete Gillen said. “Donald got frustrated and had some bad breaks.” Since then, Hand has made several strides to return to his play at the beginning of the season. In addition to doing an excellent job leading a Virginia offense that can run as well as any team in the country, he has captained the Cavaliers to recent quality wins over Wake Forest and Maryland. But just like his streakiness in years before, Hand fizzled on the road along with his team in the last two games. After attaining their highest ranking of the year at No. 6, the Wahoos lost two straight to the likes of N.C. State and Georgia Tech. Although Hand put in a great 29-point performance against a weak Wolfpack squad, he managed to go O-for-9 from the field with only two total points against the Yellow Jackets. Hand’s dismal effort in Atlanta prompted his frustrated coach to quip about throwing everything away, “I tried to jump off the plane in transit, but they caught me and brought me back,” Gillen said. “Now I picked three bridges; I’m definitely going to, end. Imy life! but I haven’t decided what bridge.... See VIRGINIA on page 20

Although forward Rochelle Parent is seldom the Blue Devils’ most prominent fixture the box score, her coaches and teammates always quick to point out her importance. Gail Goestenkors says the senior captai play is precisely what makes her indispens; Goestenkors first saw Parent play the summ senior year of high school, the foremost thin] her about Parent’s play was that she took a d of the three tournament games that Duke’s co; “That’s not something you see a lot in hig especially not summer ball,” Goestenkors noticed her willingness to sacrifice for her te; The stat sheets do not do justice to what P the Blue Devils, as she averages only 5.5 poin per However, Parent’s unselfish nature has been critical to Duke’s success this season. In many of Duke’s biggest games of the year, Parent has stepped up by drawing a crucial charge or making a key defensive stop. “I don’t really have much regard for my body when it comes to basketball,” Parent said. “I just do it for the team.” Parent demonstrated this with her defensive play in Monday night’s game at Georgia Tech. Duke entered the game looking to get back on track after losing only its second game of the year. Facing the Yellow Jackets, who came within three points of an upset in Cameron Jan. 11, Parent’s number one task was to contain

Parent certainly responded to the challenge, (ring Kruppa all night and allowing her to score seven points on 2-of-5 shooting in 35 minutes. She plays like a soldier every time she steps in the court,” freshman Iciss Tillis said. “She brings a lot of heart and determination to the team.” Although Parent scored only two points on the night against Georgia Tech, Goestenkors has characterized her as an offensive catalyst for the Blue Devils. “We feed off of her,” Goestenkors said. “When she leads us on defense, it opens up the rest of the game. She doesn’t score a lot of points, but she really ignites our team.” Last month against N.C. State, Duke’s defensive stopper stepped up in a different way, leading the team with 13 points, her season 'Jill high. In that game, scoring was desperately needed because the Blue Devils’ leading scorIpF er, Alana Beard, missed the second halfwith a thumb injury.

Big East turned upside down by pair of top-10 upsets From wire reports Miami 68 SYRACUSE, N.Y, In a split second, 57 Darius Rice grew up a Syracuse little bit more and sent No. 10

Syracuse down. With the Orangemen rallying from a seven-point deficit late in the game last night, Miami’s slick freshman guard calmly passed up a three-pointer and hit a 17-foot jumper with 3:26 left that sent the Hurricanes to a 68-57 win. “I just kept my composure,” said Rice, who entered the game connecting on 46.3 percent of his threes in the conference. “Normally, I would have shot it from three, but I always remember coach telling me to pump-fake sometimes. I pump-faked him (Preston Shumpert), he went on by, and I knocked it down. It was a great look, and I think that was a turning point in the game.” It was. Syracuse (19-5, 7-4 in the Big East) had pulled to 56-54 with 4:24 left on a jumper in the lane by DeShaun Williams after pressing and forcing the Hurricanes (13-10, 5-7) into a shot-clock violation. Miami coach Perry Clark then called a timeout to calm his team and

Rice, who finished with 14 points, quickly settled them down a little bit more. The Orangemen shot a season-low 30 percent for the game and their longrange shooters did them in. Williams was 2-for-12 from threepoint range and Shumpert was just 1for-8 as Syracuse connected on only five oftheir 25 attempts and lost at home for only the second time. During one stretch in the second half, Syracuse shot just 2of-13 and still made a game of it until

the final five minutes. “This was one of our grittiest efforts all year, defensively,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “When you don’t make shots, it’s hard to go back and dig in. We kept them at bay, but we couldn’t

“We’ve been on the road and these kids have learned to play with a lot of poise,” said Clark, in his first year at Miami. “We’ve lost some games, but I don’t think we’ve lost confidence.” UConn 82, Boston College 71 The first shockHARTFORD, Conn. ing noise heard at halftime at the Hartford Civic Center was booing. It was aimed at the Connecticut Huskies as they left the court down 10 points to No. 9 Boston College. Only Connecticut players and coaches heard the next shock to the ears, as coach Jim Calhoun let his team know what he thought of the way they ended the opening 20 minutes last night. Combined, the boos and the verbal challenge led to an about face and an 8271 victory for the Huskies, snapping the Eagles’ six-game winning streak. “At halftime, it’s not a mystery that I spent seven, eight minutes telling them they were out-toughed, manhandled, every other adjective you can possibly imagine,” Calhoun said. “They gutted their way out to a terrific win and I’m very proud of them.” Freshman point guard Taliek Brown had a career-high 21 points, including a huge three-pointer with five-and-a-half minutes to play, to lead the Huskies (168, 5-6). “We played harder. We knew we had to have this victory,” said Brown, whose previous high was 12 points. “We just came out and played real hard in the second half.” With the shot clock winding down, Brown hit a three-pointer with 5:34 left that started a 12-1 run and gave the Huskies a 71-59 lead with 2:12 to play. Singletary and Sidney each had 18 points for the Eagles, while Troy Bell had 16. The Eagles, who had won a school-record seven straight conference games, were 6-for-26 from beyond the arc, 2-for-13 in the second half. The loss was the eighth straight at the Hartford Civic Center for Boston College, which last won in the building in 1987.

Let’s face it, Battier was everyond point: Williams has been the player body’s choice for player of the year at that Duke has depended upon most in the start and Williams was basically an the clutch. For instance, while Battier afterthought in this competition. Sure, carried the Blue Devils in overtime people knew that the explosive point against the Terrapins a few weeks ago, guard had improved his shooting over it was Williams who almost single-

handedly gave the senior a chance to do so by scoring eight points in the final minute of regulation to send the game into an extra period. And even in Duke’s two losses, Williams has been a much more reliable player down the stretch, as he nailed a key three-pointer to keep the Blue Devils alive against Carolina and was there to take the final shot against Stanford, a layup that barely rimmed out. Meanwhile, Battier played solid defense in both of those contests, but when it really counted, he was not there to propel his team to victory. The Birmingham, Mich., native fouled out with two minutes remaining against the Cardinal and committed the fatal endof-game foul that permitted UNO’s Brendan Haywood to secure a Tar Heel victory from the charity stripe. By pointing out these mistakes, I don’t mean to imply that Battier has been a disappointment on any level this season. In fact, to the contrary, Battier has been nothing short of magnificent. From a leadership standpoint, he has been the glue that has kept the Blue Devils together. From a performance standpoint, he has continued to place among the league leaders in scoring, rebounding, blocks, steals and threepoint shooting percentages; he even broke Duke’s record for three-pointers in a game by hitting nine against Princeton. And at one point, he reached a moment of Zen when he scorched Georgia Tech for 20 consecutive points during the second half ofDuke’s Jan. 20 victory over the Yellow Jackets. Despite these impressive feats,

though, my money is still on Williams for player of the year. Unfortunately, the sensational sophomore and his coach disagree with me on the issue. Mike Krzyzewski came out firmly in support of Battier during his news conference before the Duke-North Carolina affair and Williams told the News & Observer yesterday that “Shane should be the winner.” However, Williams was a little more non-committal when I talked to him Sunday about his prospects. “It really doesn’t matter to me who gets the award,” Williams said. “The biggest thing is that, at the end, we come out as the winner. I think ifwe win it a11... then a lot of the personal accolades will just happen by themselves. It’s not something that we sit back and worry about now, but it’s something we use to inspire us.” Regardless of who wins the awards—and it might be North Carolina’s stellar shooting guard Joseph Forte—it’s safe to say that the friendly competition between Battier and Williams for player-of-the-year honors has been, and will continue to be, extremely beneficial for the Blue Devils. The two have used the competition to push each other in practice and in games, which will make them both better in the postseason. So no matter who you think deserves the award, the residue of this amicable, yet intense competition will hopefully benefit all Duke fans during the Big Dance in March. Who knows, maybe it will even be the decisive factor in whether or not the Blue Devils are able to cut down the nets in Minneapolis. #

Goestenkors praises Parent’s consistency � PARENT from page 15

N.C. State and she fulfilled it, something that the entire team definitely appreciates. “She’s unselfish and giving,” Georgia said guard point Schweitzer, Parent’s roommate. “She’s just the kind of person you want to have as your friend.” Everyone on the team cites

things Parent contributes. Not surprisingly, Parent counts grabbing a loose ball as her favorite play to make. “I love getting a loose ball,” she said. “I see it as a piece of gold that somebody just dropped, and

I’m on it.” Parent has been with the Blue

Devils for close to four years now and has seen the program’s rise to national prominence, progressing from a first- or second-round tournament team in the several years preceding her Duke career to a team that has won 103 games to date under her watch. In her three years, the team has gone 10-3 in tournament play, reaching two Regional Finals and a Final Four. As a senior on a team that counts a lot of youth among its members, Parent’s experience has been vital to the development of the younger players. “She has always showed leadership and patience with me,” Tillis said. “She’s always talking to you, always encouraging you. She’s just really fun to work with.” Perhaps Parent’s most important leadership quality is her consistency. Although Parent is not a player who will average 25 points a game, her teammates all know what she will bring to the table each night. “Ro has been one of our most steady performers all year long,” said Goestenkors. “Whenever we have close games, we know she’ll bring calmness and determination to the team. It’s not one game in particular that she’s helped us, but it’s been consistency throughout the season.”

Another ofDuke’s key leaders this

year has been co-captain Schweitzer, who competed in the same athletic division as Parent during high school. Despite going head-to-head as high school seniors in the Ohio state track meet, Schweitzer and Parent did not really become acquainted until they arrived at Duke in the fall of 1997. Both say they did not meet because they had their sights set on other goals at the time. Now that the two seniors are together as Blue Devils, they have the same goal in sight—a Final Four in St. Louis. Under such steady leadership, one has to like ,

Murder is one of the most popular subjects of fiction and drama, but it can also open a window on aspects of society that go beyond the violence associated with it A study of murder cases in the Yukon in the early years of the ZOth century illustrates the tensions and fragility of this somewhat marginal frontier society. It also shows bow Afferent, In many ways, Yukon society was from both Canadian and American society today.

Cavaliers’ woes leave Gillen contemplating suicidal leap

Duke leads the series 97-45; the Blue Devils won the last meeting 103-61 in Cameron No. 3 DUKE 22-2 (10-1) Coach Mike Krzyzewski

VIRGINIA from page 15 I’m leaning toward the Brooklyn Bridge so I can see some of my friends who are probably buried there.” With the loss to Georgia Tech, the Cavs’ record fell to 1-5 on the road in ACC play, which is not an acceptable mark for a team teetering between a No. 2 and No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament. The selection committee continually emphasizes how important it is to win games in hostile environments. “WeTe definitely different on the road, for whatever reason,” Hand said. Fortunately for the Cavaliers, that is one thing they can cross off their list of worries for tonight. Currently remaining atop Gillen’s list are a surging Jason Williams and a Duke team still mad over its loss to North *

Carolina. Of course, the Cavaliers also have to contend with the fact that the Blue Devils have not lost a road game in the ACC in more than three years. Still, the Cavaliers are nothing for the Blue Devils to take lightly. “Virginia is a hungry team,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I think they’re in the tournament already, but now they’re trying to position themselves for the tournament. I know we’re in the tournament, but you have to be as hungry as the team you play.” The Cavs will undoubtedly be out for blood having lost all six games against Duke under Gillen. Only once have they even managed to keep the final margin under double-digits. However, if they are firing on all cylin-

No. 12 Virginia 16-6 (5-6) Coach Pete Gillen Guard Donald Hand, Sr. (13.3 ppg) Guard Roger Mason, So. (14.7 ppg) Forward Adam Hall, Jr. (10.0 ppg) Forward Chris Williams, Jr. (14.8 ppg) Center Travis Watson, So. (12.9 ppg)

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Virginia is small in the post, with the front line listed at 6-foot-5, 6-7 and 6-8, respectively. Duke’s frontcourt, especially Carlos Boozer, has struggled at times against bigger opponents, although this should not be a problem tonight. Duke’s excellent athletes are also able to match up with UVa’s quickness.

Donald Hand and Roger Mason are excellent guards, but in the initial meeting at Cameron they were held to just 10 points combined. Nate James has picked up his scoring in the past two games and Jason Williams returned to his usual form in scoring 23 points and handing out 8 assists against N.C. State, Duke’s greatest weakness is depth, with only Chris Duhon and Matt Christensen alone providing quality minutes. The Wahoos counter with sharp-shooting wing Keith Friel and forwards Stephane Dondon and J.C. Mathis. Friel is especially dangerous behind the arc, where he shoots 43 percent.

FRESHMAN CHRIS DUHON had seven assists during Duke’s win against UVa in January.

ders, they do have a legitimate chance of ending Duke’s amazing record. “Our team is looking forward to playing Duke,” Gillen said. “They won a lot of games on the road so we’ve got our hands full. We’re not playing our best basketball right now, but hopefully we’ll be able to go out and be competitive.” Regardless of whether the Cavs are playing their best basketball, nothing is going to work right for Virginia if Hand does not get back on track tonight.

FEATURING

Virginia is in need of a victory after consecutive losses to N.C. State and Georgia Tech. The Cavs will also want to avenge the drubbing they received earlier this year in Cameron. Duke has emerged from its recent mini-slump with Sunday’s win over N.C. State, but UHail has been a hard place for the Blue Devils to play.
