The Chronicle Board OKs academic plan, expands financial aid By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

The trustees’ business this weekend mapped the long-term path of Duke’s academics along with its short-term finances.

After unanimously approving “Building on Excellence,” the University’s new five-year academic plan, trustees passed significant financial aid increases, which include extending financial aid to cover one fiill summer and giving aid to international students. They also approved a 4.4 percent tuition and fees increase for Arts and Sciences un-

dergraduates, a 4.1 percent increase for Pratt School of Engineering undergraduates and boosts of between 3.5 and 6 percent for graduate and professional students. The $727.1 million longrange plan sets out priorities for all Duke’s academic functions and maps growth of the faculty, integration of technology into education, spread of global reputation and influence, formation of new leadership roles in the Triangle and the state, and even definition of student social life and diversity.

“Most of our discussion was very academically oriented,” said board chair Harold “Spike” Yoh, Engineering ’5B. “There was complete satisfaction. We were very positive about the stated goals.” At their December retreat, which was devoted almost entirely to review and critique of the plan, the trustees were largely supportive, but asked Provost Peter Lange, the 175page document’s author, to rewrite sections on student affairs and technology.

WINSTONSALEM It was supposed to be Robert O’Kelley’s big day. From Saturday’s opening ceremony honoring the seniors four years to his three-point shot with 7.5 seconds remaining that brought his Demon Deacons to an 80-80 tie, it looked like the crowning achievement of a sometimes dominant, sometimes struggling career. It indeed seemed like O’Kelley would have his moment to bask in glory at Lawrence Joel Memorial Coliseum. In fact, he had exactly 7.5 seconds to bask. Then Chris Duhon stole both O’Kelley’s moment and the game with a last-minute floater that left the lights shining on Duke’s freshman, not Wake Forest’s senior. “Heck, I think Chris is a better shooter than me,” Jason Williams said. “I went up and he caught my eye so I dished it off to him.” No. 4 Duke (25-3, 12-2 in the ACC) won 82-80, as No. 24 Wake Forest (18-9, 7-8) suffered yet anTHE BLUE DEVILS CELEother blow to its NCAA tournaBRATE (above) after freshment hopes.

Officials look into Phi Psi damages � After police found a wrecked commons room two days following the revocation of Phi Psi’s housing, administrators this weekend placed the fraternity on interim dissolution. By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

After police found $4OO of damage to Phi Kappa Psi fraternity’s section, administrators have placed the group under interim dissolution while they investigate the incident. There will be an administrative hearing to determine the consequences of the vandalism. Last week, theAnnual Review Committee’s appeals panel revoked Phi Psi’s housing, meaning that next year its members will be sprinkled throughout campus. This weekend’s interim dissolution indicates that the group might lose University recognition altogether, thereby voiding its charter. The damage in Phi Psi’s section was found Friday, two days after the appeals panel’s decision. Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department said that in the fraternity’s commons room, police found holes punched in walls, overturned furniture and trash strewn across the floor. There was also a broken window in a bathroom. Although the damages themselves may not seem particularly extreme, the timing of the incident prompted members of the Board of Trustees to discuss it at its Saturday meeting and demand appropriate sanctions. Board Chair Harold “Spike” Yoh, engineering ’5B, said he had heard the incident was a response to last week’s decision and added that he did not know the extent of the damage. Such specific issues rarely are addressed by the Board ofTrustees or President Nan Keohane. “This will not be tolerated if there is serious vandalism,” Keohane said at a previously scheduled press conference. Dean of Student Development Barbara Baker and Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Kacie Wallace could not be reached for comment over the weekend. Junior Dave Nefouse, former president of Phi Psi, said administrators spoke to the group last night to inform them about the new aspect of their dissolution. When the appeals committee’s decision came down last week, Nefouse sent out an e-mail warning fraternity brothers not to do any damage to their section. He said he thinks the damages resulted from a series of individSee PHI PSI on page 11 �

Judge’s remarks may help Microsoft Bv lAN HOPPER Associated Press WASHINGTON Microsoft will try to convince an appeals court this week that the breakup of the software giant is unwarranted in a high stakes legal showdown that may focus as much on the judge who made the ruling as the legal underpinnings for it. U.S. District Judge Thomas Jackson’s comments outside the courtroom—comparing Microsoft chair Bill Gates to Napoleon and suggesting company officials were not “grown-ups”—have injected a new wildcard into the case. Law professors and other experts say that makes the job more difficult for government lawyers who are trying to preserve their historic antitrust victory

ordering the breakup of Microsoft for anticompetitive practices. “In conscious or unconscious ways, the court of appeals will feel fewer inhibitions to second-guess Jackson’s findings concerning crucial pieces of evidence,” George Washington University law professor William Kovacic predicted. “Nothing good will come to the government plaintiffs from all of this.” Microsoft has “a 50 percent chance of walking completely” thanks to Jackson’s post-trial statements, University of Baltimore law professor Bob Lande said. Before the comments, he gave the government 2-to-l odds. “Those wonderful findings of fact all have a cloud cast on them because of Jackson’s unjudicial state-

ments,” Lande said.

Ensign, Ho stress leadership in executive VP race This is the fourth story in a series examining the races for Duke Student Government executive offices. Tomorrow’s coverage will focus on the office of DSG president. By JONAS BLANK The Chronicle

When voters elect a new Duke Student Government executive vice president this week, it won’t be the first time the critical second-in-command position has changed hands this year. In choosing between current Executive Vice President Drew Ensign and Treasurer Henry Ho, both juniors, voters will face much different issues than those DSG addressed this January.

both. “Drew has

done an excellent job running meetings,” said freshman legislator Alex Barna, who ran for the

position in January. Others in DSG offered similar praise for Ensign’s work thus far. Although Barna has declined to endorse either candidate, he said Ensign has been good at motivating legislators. “Drew’s goal was to meet with every legislator individually,” he said. “He has followed through with that.” Still, Ensign has yet to complete the task—Barna has not met with Ensign himself. Ensign has stressed the need for personal contact with legislators this year, but he hopes to focus on institutional changes if elected. “There’s a general accountability problem I want to address,” he said.

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Next year two new vice presidents for student affairs will be shaping the culture of Duke University. While a committee of administrators, faculty and students is currently at work to select an administrative vice president, undergraduates will be able to select their DSG vice president for student affairs Thursday. Junior Allen Thompson and sophomore Joshua JeanBaptiste will face off for a year-long term. Senior Jasmin French, current DSG vice president for student affairs, said the office has the possibility to be the most important in recent memory, considering that next year’s term will feature intense University discussion of a revised alcohol policy and a new resi-

The North Carolina native said linked houses will discourage freshmen from leaving their comfort zones and that the sophomore living requirement is unfair to upperclassmen “I think sophomores should Allen Thompson able to live on central or off campus if they want to,” Thompson said. “This plan creates a disadvantage for juniors and seniors who want to live on West.” The only significant part of the plan Thompson endorses is the moving of selective houses to the outer limits ofWest Campus because of the possibility of giving the groups more social space.

Cancer research group to move headquarters to Duke By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

The group that oversees the most clinical trials investigating surgical cancer treatment —the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group—has decided to move its headquarters from Chicago to Duke’s Medical Center, something administrators say will greatly benefit research at the University. Founded just two years ago by former Duke professor Dr. Samuel Wells, ACSOG oversees eight multi-center clinical trials studying the surgical treatment of cancer. It enrolls about 250 patients in trials each

month at more than 150 nationwide clinical sites. “For [Duke], it means the return of one of the world’s foremost surgical leaders and an expert in cancer surgery research,” Dr. Ralph Snyderman, chancellor for health affairs at Duke, wrote in an e-mail. “[Wells] and the group will further strengthen our capacity for clinical re-

Snyderman said the DCRI and the ACSOG have striven to use evidencebased medicine, which is based on the premise that the effectiveness of treatments is best studied through clinical research. “This type of medical practice search within [the Duke Cancer Research is the wave of the future, enabled by the Institute].” large clinical research trials and sophisWells, who also served as the chair of ticated data analysis,” Snyderman surgery at Washington University in wrote. “The move of ACSOG to DUMC St. Louis from 1981 to 1998, said in a will greatly strengthen all cancer restatement that Duke has the resources search at Duke as we will be the central that the ACSOG needs—an excellent focus of all academic cancer surgery. It

will facilitate our genomics efforts, particularly in cancer genomics.” Wells said he will first recruit about 75 to 100 new staff members necessary to operate the ACSOG, which plans to open 10 additional clinical trials by 2002. Dr. Robert Califf, director of the DCRI, said in a statement that the move will give patients and doctors better access to treatments. “In many cases, these trials give physicians and patients access to therapies they would not otherwise get,” Califf said. “So the Oncology Group coming here is significant for Duke and its patients.”

Students, trustees meet to talk about University’s future By MICHELE HAGEMAN The Chronicle

It may be impossible to say what Duke will look like in five years, but students and members of the Board of Trustees were free to speculate Friday afternoon as several trustees ate lunch with undergraduate and graduate students to get to know one another while discussing Duke’s future. “Our main goal was to allow an informal setting for the trustees to talk with students about their concerns with the University,” said Jordan Bazinsky, Duke Student Government president and co-host of this year’s trustee luncheons. Bazinsky and Cybelle McFadden,

president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, each invited 15 students they felt would be able to voice questions, ideas and concerns to the trustees. Graduate students brought up many of the same issues they did at the student-trustee luncheon last October, such as a lack of social space and the need for students to feel more a part of the University beyond their individual schools. “At Yale [University], the graduate school had its own dining hall and lounge where students could spend time away from their respective pro-

Beyond graduate students’ concerns, there was also a focus on recent issues at Duke, such as new plans for West Campus housing distribution and the effectiveness of the Alcohol Task Force. One topic of conversa-

tion was whether the University should inform the parents of students sent to the Emergency Department due to overdrinking. “I have had four kids go through their teenage years, and I would want to know if one of them was spending time in the emergency room,” said J.J. Kiser, Trinity ’65, a trustee since July of 1998. Students and trustees also discussed whether permitting a small amount of alcohol on East Campus would curb some freshmen’s tendencies toward heavy drinking. Many of students felt that moving the fraternities to quadrangles away from Main West would limit a lot of open partying and perhaps some of the excessive drinking. Both the trustees and students felt that keeping fraternities on West was important, but that it was not necessary to have them in plain view on the main campus. Overall, the meeting was less formal than its fall predecessor, which had a structured format. “We just need to focus on a plan for the long run so that instead of setting up an amateur Sim City with things placed randomly, we can slowly make Duke into the place the students want it to be,” said Durham native Robert Steel, Trinity ’73, who has been on the board since 1996.

Ho critiques incumbent Ensign’s ‘consent’ rule � EXECUTIVE VP from page 3 One way to approach that, Ensign said, is to break the legislature down into groups that address issues such as alcohol, parking and residential life. Ensign also hopes to promote more nonDSG involvement in the organization by expanding the use of task forces and committees that would include student organizations such as the Interfratemity Council, the Panhellenic Council and cultural groups. Ensign credits this semester’s more efficient meetings to minor rule changes he has made, including a procedure known as unanimous consent, which allows motions to pass automatically without a vote unless an objection is made.

Praising Ho as a “self-starter” and “visionary,” DSG Vice President for Student Affairs Jasmin French said that Ho’s work as DSG treasurer this year, along with his commitment to accountability and efficiency, would make him well-suited to the job. “He would do well in the executive vice president role because ofhis experience with writing the house rules we currently have, as well as his ability to identify a vision and then create tangible steps to achieve it,” she said.

STUDENT AFFAIRS VP from page 3 will change the social scene a lot,” said Jean-Baptiste, who served this year as DSG’s residential life policy liaison. “I don’t know if we want that change.” Jean-Baptiste, however, embraces the idea of sophomores on West Campus and linked houses, arguing that the plan will allow upperclassmen to continue to nurture the diverse bonds created their freshman year. One of the few points on which the candidates seem to agree is their view on alcohol. Both believe that alcohol is a big part of the undergraduate culture but they want to work to provide students with more social alternatives. In addition to confronting residential life and alcohol problems, Jean-Baptiste said his priorities will include increasing communication between students and DSG by holding a series of discussions, particularly aimed at freshmen, about the functions of the organization. In the past, many DSG officials, including French, have prioritized this type of initiative. Thompson, meanwhile, hopes to initiate programs that will help selective living groups become stronger members of the community. As student affairs vice president, Thompson would seek to change the University’s property damage policy. Currently the policy holds living groups responsible for all damage in and around their section on nights they host a party —even if the damage was done by complete strangers. “I think it’s unfair because Duke requires all parties to be open,” Thompson said. “There is no way to regulate who comes in and out of our parties.” Thompson, however, may have a difficult time enacting any significant policy change. Barbara Baker, dean of student development, 'points to a significant drop in the instances of property damage since the policy has been enacted.

Backing Bunia

broad Duke Student Government post of vice president for community interaction leaves its holder with the ability to accomplish goals across a wide set of fields. Because of its broad nature, the office is what the vice president makes of it. Junior Bunia Parker is the right person for the job. Coming into office, he not only has a thought-out agenda, but he also has the skills to enact his ideas. Parker is the kind of person who can motivate those around him. He has recognized ways to increase legislator involvement in his initiatives. Understanding many of the University issues in the realm of the office—especially evident in his understanding of a suggested multi-cultural center —is another trait which will serve him well as vice president. At the same time, his ideas on improving DukeDurham relations are a good start. These plans, however, could be prescriptive for most towns and fail to touch upon the unique qualities of Durham. Parker needs to revise his focus to both bring students closer to Durham residents and to make students more knowledgeable of Durham’s idiosyncrasies. A well-prepared motivator, Parker has planned out his actions. And while Parker should expand his ideas for town-gown relations, there is no question he is ready to assume this vice presidency. The Chronicle formerly endorses Bunia Parker for DSG vice president for community interaction.

Vote for Prabhu

Abhijit

Prabhu, the only candidate for Duke Student Government’s vice presidency for academic affairs, brings a noble platform of making students’ academic lives easier. The junior has experience on DSG’s academic affairs committee but brings several fresh, small ideas that could really help Duke students. For example, he proposes making it DSG’s responsibility to educate students to use practical computer software, like Excel and PowerPoint. His idea of teaching instant messaging technology to professors to facilitate online office hours to supplement regular ones is also a welcome new idea. Most importantly, Prabhu seems committed to bringing course evaluations to every student. Indeed, this should be the key priority of the next academic affairs vice president. In the past, secrecy in evaluations has been violently defended by hordes of irresponsible faculty members. It seems like many have become more pliable on the issue, but when push comes to shove next year, and it’s time for the faculty to make public their new evaluation forms, Prabhu must be doing the shoving. He must forcefully defend the right to public evaluations at all costs. Prabhu should also work, in the coming months, to understand the academic needs of non-careerist Duke students. Many of his initiatives seem geared toward getting good recommendations and preparing students for consulting, but academics is much more about learning and growing intellectually than any ofthese goals. The Chronicle formally endorses Abhijit Prabhu for DSG vice president of academic affairs. •

Georgia Schweitzer deserves to have jersey retired On Feb. 21, Cameron Indoor Stadium was packed as senior men’s basketball player Shane Battier was honored by having his No. 31 jersey retired. This was a great moment in Duke basketball history, for Battier has been both an amazing athlete and an outstanding individual in his four years at the University. Watching Battier receive this honor, however, made it clear that there is another student-athlete who equally deserves to have her number hanging in the rafters of our

hallowed basketball stadium. Georgia Schweitzer, like Battier, has been an integral part of Duke sports and Duke campus life for the past four years. As a freshman, Schweitzer displayed outstanding talent on the court, being named to

the ACC All-Freshman team. In the post-season, she helped the Lady Blue Devils reach the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA tournament for the first

time

Duke

women’s basketball history. During her sophomore year, Duke women’s basketball soared to new heights, as the team defeated the highly favored Tennessee Lady Volunteers in the East Regional Final of the NCAA

tournament. Schweitzer, the

East Regional Most Valuable Player, stepped up to lead the pack in this game with an astounding 22 points and five rebounds, assuring her team the victory. In her junior year, while busy scoring double digits in 28 of 34 games, Schweitzer’s skill and effort were rewarded, as she was honored with the title ACC Player of the Year. No. 23, also a 2000-1 Naismith College Basketball Player of the Year Candidate, is now a proud senior, leading her team to another conference championship. Off the court, anyone who has known Schweitzer will vouch for her character and warmth. She is as down-toearth as they come, genuinely and remarkably kind

unselfish. Her hard work on the court is paralleled by hard work in the classroom. Her roles as a student at Duke and a future physician are ones she takes seriously. Just as said of Battier, was Schweitzer is a complete player, and is well loved by her teammates and by her friends. She is the ideal student-athlete and her impact on the women’s basketball program will be felt long after she graduates this May. As a gesture of thanks and as a symbol of what she has meant to the women’s basketball program at Duke, we hope that the No. 23 jersey will be the 11th in Duke history to be retired so it may hang across the stadium from the first Women’s National Championship banner.

Letter opposing housing proposal misses the point While I support the new campus housing proposal, I am aware that there are several convincing arguments against it, especially the third component requiring that all sophomores live on West. A laughable Feb. 23

letter to the editor presented none of these arguments. The writer’s claims that the proposed housing solution and the current problem at hand have little to do with each other. Perhaps this is because she understands the “problem” as making the housing system more conducive to “friends.” By this definition, her ultimate assertion is correct: The current housing system is just as efficient as the proposed one would be at giving friend-groups/cliques/officialsocial-organizations-basedon-exclusion-of-others the opportunity to live in close proximity to one another. Unfortunately, she misdefines the problem. The problem is a campus for referenced letter,

On the

housing policy that favors students who are willing to

sell themselves to a particular

group over those who prefer

to avoid the “rush” process, and promotes dissipation of diverse freshmen dorm-mates who may not have established close enough relationships to arrange “blocks” together. If given more time and prompted by the University to do so, these freshmen would show interest in pursuing deeper

friendships despite their cultural and racial differences

through

joint

living

arrangement. A key word of the proposal is “diversity,” which is misdefined by the letter writer. Her understanding of diversity is “making friends outside of the freshman dorm,” an interesting but completely contradictory definition to the one that the University is trying to promote. The kind of diversity endorsed by this proposal is not the kind that bridges greek group A to greek

group B, white girl from Brown dormitory to white girl from Pegram dormitory, or black upperclassman to black underclassman. The kind of diversity endorsed by the proposal crosses racial, economic, geographic and sexual boundaries and is found, if not anywhere else on campus, in the randomly assorted freshmen dorms. It offers students the choice of extending this truly diverse living atmosphere into their sophomore year without requiring them to settle for a secondrate living location. The new housing arrangement will inconvenience some and frustrate many more as its kinks are worked out. But, undoubtedly, the new plan will begin to address one of Duke’s needs that all of us note but few of us act upon: increasing social diversity. Mary Adkins Trinity ’O4

Women’s tennis wallops VCU in Sheffield Center By GREG VELS The Chronicle

6 Duke received a little extra help from Virginia I Commonwealth yesterday afternoon at the Sheffield Center. With a match comprised of three doubles and six singles contests, it is not absurd to field six healthy players. Nevertheless, VCU (3-2) did not possess that small luxury in its 6-1 defeatat the hands of the third-ranked Blue Devils (6-1). With senior Andrea Ondrisova injured, the Rams were forced to forfeit two of their matches—one doubles and one singles. These two concessions placed Virginia Commonwealth into a ditch that it had little possibility of climbing out of considering Duke’s All-America talent. Despite their immediate disadvantage, the 38th-ranked Rams refused to surrender to their stronger counterparts. They could only hold on so long though. “They are a really tough team and I REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE did not know exactly what to expect from KARL AND ALICE SHEFFIELD pose in front of the Sheffield Center’s award for the nation’s top facility. them,” Duke freshman Amanda Johnson said. “Nevertheless, I think everyone did ing the speed and placement of her shots While Dumitrescu grew a bit complacent a really good job putting the tough matchand finding a nice balance between her at the baseline, Johnson turned up the es away.” net and baseline games. heat, simply overpowering her opponent Thinking beyond the Virginia Com“I was pretty happy with my play with shotgun-blast forehands and devasmonwealth match, Duke attempted to today” Cargill said. “I hit my forehand retatingly accurate volleys.

named nation's top facility It looks relatively unassuming from the front. Just another building among many around Duke’s campus. Nevertheless, the Sheffield Tennis Center received the United States Tennis Association’s Outstanding Tennis Facility award yesterday afternoon as the nation’s top tennis complex. “It is a great honor,” men’s tennis coach Jay Lapidus said. “It is definitely one of the top collegiate facilities in the country. It is nice to see that the great effort that was put into the building is being recognized by this great reward.” First opened last year, the Sheffield Center houses both the men’s and women’s tennis teams. Its many advanced features make

it extremely popular among those with the most exposure to it. “I love playing there,” Lapidus said. “The six courts side-by-side [as opposed to the traditional three-by-three setup] really lead to a team atmosphere. The lighting on the courts is absolutely the best I have ever seen and the ceiling is a perfect height.... It is a great overall package.” Aside from the tennis courts, the building offers a host of other amenities, including several cushy lounges, state-of-the-art locker rooms and a display room that houses the ACC championship troplffes collected by both programs over the years.

Above all, though, the Sheffield Center is Duke Tennis—a great facility for a traditionally strong program. By Greg Veis

Men’s relay teams collect more Duke records at ACCs Although the non-scholarship men’s swimmers finished eighth, their season concluded on a positive note By ADRIENNE MERCER

from Thursday through Saturday. The relay teams dominated as Duke finished eighth overall in the highly competitive meet in Charlottesville, Va. “Those records were all at least 10 years old,” junior Chris Fleizach said. “The people on the team, the seniors and upperclassmen have been shooting for those records for a long time. To finally get it this year just shows how far we’ve come recently. We were pretty happy with what we were

how we managed to get some of these players,” Fleizach said,

“We’re faster than some of the other teams. [O’Brienl tied the best ACC swimmer [in the competition], and that’s something that’s pretty impressive. UNC doesn’t have anyone faster than us in the [2OO-yard freestyle].” Virginia finished the championship in first place, leading second-place North Carolina by 289 points. This is the third consecutive ACC championship that the Cavaliers have taken. Their 883.5point finish is the highest ever at an ACC championship meet, breaking the 852-point record set by North Carolina in 1991. The Cavaliers won 13 of 20 events during the championships and all the swimming events on the last day of competition. North Carolina took second place in the championships for the second consecutive year with 594.5 points. Georgia Tech finished third with 434.5 points, while Florida State finished fourth with 401.5. Duke finished eighth with 141 points, “The ACC is definitely getting

able to accomplish.” Duke’s relay team of Fleizach, sophomore Ryan Spoon, senior Jack Newhouse and freshman Conor O’Brien placed sixth in the -200-yard medley relay Saturday as they established a new Duke record with a time of 1:33.24. The time breaks the 1992 record of 1:33.59. The Blue Devils hit a second consecutive record as the

Fleizach, Spoon, Newhouse and O’Brien medley relay team also established a Duke record in the -400-yard medley relay the previous Thursday. Their time of 3:24.16, which qualified for an eighth-place finish, was more than a second faster than the previous record of 3:25.24. The 200-yard freestyle relay

record was set Thursday, by a team composed of O’Brien, Newhouse, sophomore John Samotyj and freshman Trevor Yates. They registered a time of 1:23.80, placing them eighth. The time broke another 1992 record, which was 1:23.90. O’Brien, with a time of 45.65, placed 10th in the 100-yard freestyle and was the only Duke swimmer who had a top-10 finish,

faster,” Fleizach said. “The fact that we have done better this year than any of the four years really shows that we’ve also come a long way. It was a good meet for most everybody; the people who showed up ready to swim really came through.”

ANOTHER CLASSIC COMEBACK

PHOTOS BY AMY UNELL/THE CHRONICLE

CLOCKWISE FROM RIGHT: Shane Battier distorts his face as he drives through the defense; Jason Williams floats through the lane; and Nate James dribbles past Robert O’Kelley. O’Kelley hit a game-tying bomb with 7.5 seconds left, but Chris Duhon won it at the buzzer. THRILLER from page 1, The Chronicle seconds later, Hicks remained on the same side of the court and the officials penalized Wake with a violation. “Well, I am amazed at that,” Odom said. “It was obviously a key possession. I can’t blame Broderick Hicks, because I didn’t realize it myself. I’ll be perfectly honest. I had no idea we were close to the 10. He was looking to me for direction and I was probably slow in giving it to him.... Lay that one on me.” Josh Howard, who had successfully stymied Mike Dunleavy throughout the game, fouled out against the Duke sophomore with 1:07 remaining. As Howard exited the game, Dunleavy shot an airball from the free-throw line, only to correct that error with his second shot. It was O’Kelley who then failed to take the ball to the hoop. On the other side of the court it was all Williams, who put Duke up 80-77. Odom called a timeout with 20.3 seconds left, only to watch that total sink to 15.3 seconds after a referee’s correction. Eight seconds later, O’Kelley hit the three. “O’Kelley was O’Kelley,” Duke coach Mike Rrzyzewski said. “What a shot he hit to tie the game. It was like an incredible play had to beat an incredible play.” And 7.5 seconds later, with Williams given no options but to pass to Duhon, the freshman floated to the basket and tossed the ball in with one hand.

“Chris has the ability to float,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s not the last of shots like that that he’ll hit.” Duhon noted that he had hit a number of similar shots in practice. But the 6-foot-2, guard had not likely done it against a 268-pound monster like Wake’s 6-foot-9 senior Rafael Vidaurreta. “That’s a shot you practice, but it’s usually used when big men are coming to block your shot, to shoot it over them,” Duhon said. “I knew I didn’t have time to set up and shoot a jumper, so I just played off instinct.” The game was competitive from the start as Duke led 41-40 at the half. By halftime, Wake had only attempted six shots from beyond the arc. By game’s

end, that number increased to 17, nine of which they made, as the Demon Deacons outshot Duke in three-pointers by a margin of 52 percent to the Blue Devils’ 41 percent.

If Wake was encroaching on Duke’s specialty, the Blue Devils also encroached on Wake. Perhaps the most physical team in the conference, the Demon Deacons left both

Duhon and Williams fallen on the floor Saturday afternoon, and their strongman Darius Songaila played only 13 min-

utes the entire game. The Blue Devils out-rebounded Wake 42-34, slaughtering the Demon Deacons on defensive boards 27-19.

Duke center Carlos Boozer found the basket with 7-for-13 shooting and found the glass, too, with 13 rebounds. But for O’Kelley, who stood alone in the Wake locker room while the cameras were shining on Duhon down the hall, it was a bittersweet end to an often bittersweet career. “Well, we tied the game,” said O’Kelley, whose team-high 17 points were not enough to pull out the win. “It was a shot I wanted to take for my team, and I thought with the time left, maybe we would go into overtime, but they came down and made a big shot. That’s just the way it went.” 41 40

With one game remaining on the home slate for the women’s basketball team (24-3,12-3 in the ACC), the objective is to not only close out the regular season with a victory over archrival North Carolina (14-12, 7-8), but to do so in front of the largest crowd ever to watch a women’s basketball game in Cameron Indoor Stadium. “I know we’re trying to have a sell-out crowd and break our record for attendance,” Schweitzer said. “I know I personally have about 30 people coming down from Ohio, making the eight-hour drive.” Schweitzer plans on playing in front of every coach who has ever worked with her, and those couple-dozen guests will be privy to a night that celebrates the conclusion of not just Schweitzer’s regular-season career, but those of all four ofDuke’s seniors. They arrived at Duke at different times, with different expectations and different roles within a program that was then just a cut above middle-of-the pack in the ACC with the promise of blooming into something much more. Four years later—or in one case five years— Schweitzer, Missy West, Rochelle Parent and Janee Hayes will receive special recognition for their career contributions prior to tonight’s 7:36 p.m. tipoflf between No. 7 Duke and the visiting Tar Heels. “You couldn’t ask for a better opponent to end our ca-

reers here on this court,” Parent said. “It’s a great rivalry, one of the best in college basketball. Georgia, Missy and I have had great careers here and we would like to end on a happy note.” The careers of Duke’s four seniors will end as they began—in varying fashion. Hayes has spent her entire senior season as a student-assistant coach after her preseason pregnancy precluded her from playing basketball. West, a fifth-year player who will come off the bench tonight, actually had her senior night a year ago when the Blue Devils downed Florida State a week before West led them to their first-ever ACC tournament championship. Much of the focus tonight, however, will be on Parent and Schweitzer, who have been the heart and soul of Duke all season long. “It’s going to be really special, I have a great time here,” Schweitzer said. “Obviously it’s going to be-a little sad. I can’t think of a better way to end than to play Carolina and hopefully have a sellout crowd.” North Carolina leading scorer LaQuanda Barksdale, however, hopes that tonight is not the end of the road for her Tar Heels. If the Tar Heels do not upset Duke tonight or make a spectacular run through the ACC tournament this weekend, they will likely be left off the list of 64 teams invited to the NCAA Championships. UNO’s need for a “quality win” will leave Barksdale and her teammates even hungrier to avenge last month’s overtime loss to Duke in Chapel Hill. In that See SENIOR NIGHT on page 11

liked to shoot three-pointers and dribble the ball and stuff like guards do. All my friends were point guards and forwards and stuff and we’d play oneon-one. I’d play street ball at the park from sun up to sundown.” Ball for Tillis was always the priority, even when she did not make it home until after dark. But ball at the park in grade school is a lot different than

Indeed, walking down the hall in Cameron Indoor Stadium to meet another reporter for yet another interview, a bit of that fun side shows. Just out of the shower, wearing a Cancun T-shirt and a pair of oversized, fuzzy orange-and-black tiger-striped pants, she introduced herself. Despite a persistent cough, her stony countenance morphed into a warm smile. “A lot of people often say I look mean out here on

“A lot of people often say I look mean out here on the court, because I don’t really Iciss Tillis smile or talk on the court.... People ask, ‘Are you happy?’” “I had my hair natural sophomore in high school. I would twist it up and then I would take it down and press it, and twist it up again and then I got lazy. For four weeks, I didn’t take my hair down, and one day, I went to the mirror and thought I’d take them out. They started dreading up at the root, and it was impossible, you can’t take them out.” Her mother then told her she would have to cut all her hair off. Tillis had another answer. “I said, ‘No, I’m just going to grow dreads.’ My family hated me for the longest time for that [With] my grandmother, I thought I’d never hear the end of it. I said, ‘l’m sorry, but I’m not cutting all my hair off.’ Now they all love it.” Now, the dreads are one of Tillis’ most visible trademarks. “Maybe when I’m older, I’ll whack ’em off.” Much like her family has had to

deal with Tillis’ hair, her coaches have had to deal with another trademark: her versatility. On the court, Tillis does not stay in one spot One moment she is posting up, the next moment she is lining up a threepoint shot from further outside than the guards. “I’ve always been really tall, meaning Fve always played the post,” Tillis said. “I’ve alw

Although she has come a long way, there are also times when that flexibility fails her. After a loss to N.C. State a week ago, a frustrated Gail Goestenkors vented at her player’s poor post play. “We’ve been allowing Photo bv Iciss to make some decin Regan Hsu sions with our motion of fense and unfortunately, she tends to hang out ' the three-point line too much lately,” the Duke coach said after the team’s third loss of the season. The substandard performance may have been unusual for Tillis, but the frustration is not. Growing up, she always seemed to confound and frustrate her coaches. “I still had to play post,” she said. “My coach would get mad because I would go outside and shoot the three. They didn’t really believe I could make the three until I shot them and made them.” The thing is, she is not that bad at it. Tillis has taken more three-point shots than anyone on the team except Georgia Schweitzer, and she is tied for third on the team in accuracy. The exceptional part is she also leads the team with 5.9 rebounds . per game. Perhaps another trademark is her attitude.

I’ll get emotional at times, but I’m just always concentrated and in my own little world. I’ve always been like that. People ask, ‘Are you happy?’” The answer is yes. Tillis is very happy. Still under the weather before her final regular-season game, Tillis has been replaced by Michele

Matyasovsky in the starting lineup. Her 21 minutes against Virginia off the bench last week reflected her slump: l-for-5 shooting, including two missed treys and only four rebounds. In spite of all that, Tillis has had a great freshman season, scoring 11.1 points per game (third on the team), and the girl who knew since fourth grade that she wanted to play basketball feels she is improving all the time. For all the new territory she has covered this season at Duke, there are also many new opportunities she has yet to capitalize on. One of those is dunking. “I actually did it the other day in practice,” said Tillis, adding that she is anxious to try it in an upcoming game. Despite the fact that the wild-haired freshman’s unbridled game might cause Goestenkors to tear her own hair out from time to time, Tillis has no plans to give up her main trademark. When she graduates in four years, she knows exactly what her main strength will be—the same as it was when she arrived in Durham and the same it was in Tulsa growing up. “It will [alwaysl be versatility,” Tillis said. “I think my game is versatile, posting up, shooting the three, driving, a little bit of everything. I think that’s just who I am, and I’ve kind of learned to accept that.”

Men’s lacrosse defeats Drexel, Butler in weekend tuneups “I called for some patience and we didn’t exhibit that,” he said. “Against the big boys, the Marylands, the Loyolas, they’re going to take advantage of that.” Duke’s offensive woes resulted not from a want of chances, but from an inability to finish. In both games, the Blue Devils unleashed a deluge of shots on net, out-shooting Drexel 46-29 and Butler 43-25. In Friday’s contest, Duke struggled early, holding only a 5-3 lead at halftime. However, Duke broke the game open with a five-goal third quarter. Junior Alex Lieske scored two of those goals, cleanly finishing off a pair of Hunter Henry passes. Behind the excellent play of its midfield, Duke es-

12 The Duke men’s lacrosse team successfully opened its season this weekButler 4 end, beating Drexel 10-5 Friday, and then following that victory with a 12-4 defeat of Butler yesterday afternoon. Although the Blue Devils won both games in convincing fashion, coach Mike Pressler assessed his team’s weekend performance with mixed emotions. Pressler was very pleased with the play of his veteran defense, but articulated some minor frustration with

tablished itself offensively much earlier against Butler. Henry scored Duke’s first two goals and Chris Hartofilis added a goal and an assist, as Duke opened a 4-1 first-quarter lead. Throughout the game, Duke’s midfield utilized its superior athleticism to dictate the pace of the game. Hartofilis finished with two goals and three assists and linemate Kevin Cassesse added two assists. Another of the game’s offensive stars was Kevin Brennan, who scored a game-high three goals. Although normally a midfielder, the sophomore registered his first career hat trick while playing attack in the absence of the injured Greg Patchak. On his first goal, Brennan supplied the game’s most impressive highlight, out-muscling two Butler defenders before flinging a one-handed shot past Butler netminder Brendan Winkler. Despite the impressive goal, Duke led only 6-3 at halftime as the Bulldogs hung tough, clawing their way back behind the play of Doug Patterson. But, in similar fashion to Friday’s game against Drexel, Duke again pulled away in the second half, wearing down

the Bulldogs. Indeed, Pressler cited his team’s superior conditioning as the primary reason for Duke’s victory. “I think what happened to Butler is they got a little tired in the second half,” Pressler said. “We started getting out over the top and pushing the transition game.’ All-America goalie Matt Breslin concurred with his coach’s comments regarding the game’s tempo. “The only way they could really beat us was to slow the game down,” Breslin said. Despite being overmatched, neither Drexel nor Butler quit. Indeed, Breslin received his only real test of the weekend in the fourth quarter yesterday, as the Bulldogs unleashed a desperate torrent of shots. Breslin responded well to the challenge, though, by making a series of outstanding saves. Afterward, Breslin attributed much of his own individual success to the defensive players surrounding him. “Our defense played great, especially our short sticks; the midfielders played unbelievably,” Breslin said. “No one really got run by, and that makes my job easier.”

Thompson pitches 8 masterful innings in baseball’s 4-1 win By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

Duke

4 There is something naturally appeal-

ing about rainy Sunday afternoons. Cincy 1 That is, unless your team is rained out coming off one of its best performances of the -

young season. “[We were] a little bit disappointed,” freshman Drew Jerdan said. “I think we could have won today and helped our record. Everyone wanted to play.” But while mother nature deprived the Blue Devils (4-8) of the opportunity to pull out a 2-1 series victory at historic Jack Coombs Stadium yesterday, overall, it was a very good weekend for the team. On Friday afternoon, only seven games after an injury that initially appeared career-threatening, Jeff Alieva returned to the Blue Devil lineup, pitching three

scoreless innings. “It’s great to see Jeff Alieva back,” coach Bill Hillier said. “I’m not sure anybody else in the country comes back from the type of injury he had as quick as he did.” Unfortunately for Duke, Alieva’s return was not enough to secure the victory. The Bearcats (6-2) drew first blood in the game, scoring two runs in the top of the seventh inning. Duke loaded the bases in the bottom half of the inning, but did not score. Duke scored its first run in the fourth on a solo home run from Jerdan, the first of his career. The Blue Devils added a second run on a solo homer from first baseman Larry Broadway in the sixth, reducing their deficit to 42. Duke loaded the bases in the ninth with no outs, but a double play and a Broadway strikeout ended the game. “That’s a tough game to lose,” Hillier said. “I’m proud of the way our guys hung in there and fought back. We put ourselves in great position to win, and that’s what I want from our guys.” Saturday was a different story. The Blue Devils played superbly, beating the Bearcats 4-1 to even the series at a game apiece. “We all knew that we could beat that team,” Jerdan said. “We were focused on coming back Saturday and

that makes it hard to concentrate. This is what Virginia basketball has become for coach Pete Gillen and the No. 9 Cavaliers this season, and No. 2 North Carolina became the latest to experience it in an 86-66 loss at University Hall yesterday.

“They were quicker today, they jumped higher today and they shot the ball better today,” Tar Heels coach Matt Doherty said of the Cavaliers, who improved to 13-1 at home with victories against Duke and Maryland. “When we play, we can play with anybody in the country,” Gillen said. “We just want to try to be as close to what we did today as many times as we can. That’s what the great teams do.” Virginia jumped the Tar Heels with a 22-6 firsthalf run that turned a 31-29 deficit into a 51-37 lead and had another sellout crowd, some of whom had camped out eight days for tickets, simply delirious. The second half proved more of the same as a 10-4 burst pushed the Virginia lead to 20 with 9:47 left and seemed to end the suspense. “What we wanted to do in the second half was keep that lead, pressure them and make them try to come to us,” Virginia’s Roger Mason said. Virginia held on despite a scoring drought that lasted 5:47, allowing North Carolina to get within 10 points with 4:55 left. But that basket, a layup by Joseph Forte, proved the last points the Tar Heels scored. Forte scored 28 points, but made only four of his last 19 shots after starting out 7-for-8, and Brendan Haywood added 20 points. Haywood finished 9-for-12 from the field; the rest of the team was 19-for-52. The Tar Heels also suffered from the absence of point guard Ronald Curry for all but eight minutes of the first half, when he committed three fouls.

COMMENTARY from page 6 While the 265-pound sophomore used his agility and power to finish with authority on many occasions in the second half, he also benefited from a number ofexcellent entry passes from his teammates, which allowed him to shoot 9-of-13 from the field. Wake Forest coach Dave Odom was quick to lament his squad’s ineffectiveness at handling the burly center and the Blue Devil perimeter players who fed Boozer the ball. “Boozer played very, very well,” Odom said. “But I have to say, he got a lot of great passes from his teammates. They would take the ball to one side, influence the defense there, and then throw it back inside quickly. We’ve got to do a better job of letting the ball get from one side to the other and then allow it to get to a guy like that.” Boozer was also quick to capitalize on a depleted Demon Deacon frontcourt. In fact, when Wake’s second-leading scorer, Darius Songaila, was forced to sit on the bench with four fouls with 14:47 remaining, the Juneau, Alaska native adeptly called for the ball on three of Duke’s next five possessions, completing a threepoint play with 13:56 left, followed by a rim-shaking two-handed jam with just over 12 minutes remaining and another layup 20 seconds later. Boozer also came up big during Duke’s 12-2 run that saw the Blue Devils reduce a 75-66 deficit to a 77-77 tie. Following a Duke timeout with 5:16 remaining, the 6-foot-9 sophomore hit a layup to initiate the Blue Devil explosion, and three minutes later, he completed his second three-point play of the afternoon to knot the score. Of course, from that point on, Duhon stole the show, allowing the Blue Devils to silence a hostile crowd and take down an upbeat opponent and exorcise some demons in the process. ::»■

Defensive focus remains how to contain versatile Barksdale SENIOR NIGHT from page 7 contest, the Tar Heels stormed back from a double-digit deficit and eventually tied the game in its waning moments when Barksdale launched a devastating three-pointer. Duke coach Gail Goestenkors and her upperclassmen expect the same sort of intense opposition in Cameron tonight. “They’re going to come out here and play their hearts out against us,” West said. “They always do against us.” Stopping Barksdale is always the foremost task when it comes to matching up against UNC. Thus far this season, the versatile forward has averaged more than 19 points by overpowering oppo-

nents inside and dropping back to hit jumpshots from the perimeter.

Defensive stalwart Parent will be as-

signed the primary duties for hounding Barksdale, but theBlue Devils will likely double-down and rotate the post players through to limit the UNC star’s touches. “I think we had some defensive lapses last game; LaQuanda got some offensive rebounds and putbacks,” Parent said of Barksdale, whose 31 points on 12-for-l9 shooting nearly single-handedly lifted UNC to an upset in the rivahy’s last showdown. “It’s going to take good team defense; you don’t stop a great player like her with just one person. It takes great team defense.”

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Michele Matyasovsky is currently starting in Iciss Tillis’ place, which gives 6-foot-6 UNC center Candace Sutton a five-inch height advantage. Rochelle Parent has to find away to contain superstar LaQuanda Barksdale without getting herself into foul trouble like she did in Chapel Hill.

c0)

Georgia Schweitzer and UNC’s Coretta Brown boast the top assist-to-turnover ratios in the ACC, while Juana Brown and Sheana Mosch add even more talent to the backcourts. Although the Brown duo dished out 17 assists last time against Duke, the pair had little answer for Schweitzer and Mosch’s 47 points.

If Matyasovsky does start, Duke’s first two players off the bench will be Tillis and Rometra Craig, two of the ACC’s most talented freshmen. Although Duke’s bench is not much deeper than that in close games, it has enough depth to rest everyone for the possibility of another overtime game.

Will V go to L?

An impending economic slowdown might be brutish, but it will also be short Reckonings Paul Krugman It’s a thin line between love and

hate. This time last year all the talking heads were adamant that the new economy had abolished the business cycle. Now we’re told, after only a few months of slowdown, that we can kiss prosperity goodbye. The economy isn’t perfect? Then it must be hopeless. Optimists believe that the economy’s path will be “V shaped”—that it will experience a brief

year’s great comparisons.” Indeed, in the slowdown of the early 1990s earnings slumped but stock prices continued to rise. But today’s investors seem much more high-strung. After acting as if the unsustainably high earnings growth of the late 1990s would last forever, they now seem to believe that the current slew of bad earnings reports is the shape of things to come, indefinitely. And the new pessimism is no more realistic than the old optimism. True, ultra-pessimists insist that we’re going to “L”—

For investors, the

dif-

will be many years before the economy a recovers the lost ground. That is, they believe that we are about to enter a slump like that of the U.S. in the 19305, or Japan in the 19905: an economy that stalls and resists all attempts to jump-start it. As the examples suggest, such things do happen—but rarely. To believe that an L-shaped slump is about to happen here, you have to believe that we are about to enter a “liquidity trap,” that the Fed will not be able to get the economy moving again even by cutting interest rates all the way to zero. Do you really believe that? And no waffling, please, no wisesounding remarks about how monetary policy won’t be as effective as some think. The Fed can easily and quickly cut interest rates as much as necessary, as long as zero is low enough. So either we’re headed for a liquidity trap or we aren’t. And assuming that we aren’t, which is by far the

slowdown, then bounce sharply back. That’s what happened in our worst postwar recession, in 1982. More cautious types worry that the path will be “U shaped”—that while the economy will eventually recover, recovery will take longer than the optimists expect. The most recent recession, in 1990-91, followed that path: unemployment didn’t drop again until the second half of 1992.

For

investors,

the

between a V and a U shouldn’t be very important. If they stayed calm, investors would realize that a year of depressed earnings doesn’t justify a big fall in stock valuations, especially not the valuations of technology companies whose big profits will come, if they ever do, some years in the future. Or as one rare sensible analyst put it, “This year’s bad numbers are next

THE ARTFUL DODGER solves the parking problem Monday, Monday THE ARTFUL DODGER THE DODGER hears everyone complaining about parking. Everyone at Duke seems to hate The Parking People.” Like some invisible antagonist, “The Parking People” have ruined everyone’s lives. But who is in charge of this ethereal group? Who in the administration should students really go to, or perhaps email, if they want to really voice their discontent about the dishonest ploy that is parking at Duke? THE ARTFUL DODGER went to the Auxuliary Services website to find out. At first, the site says nothing about parking, and says only that a man named Steve Burrell is in charge of “Publications and Postal Operations.” But when I scrutinized the organizational chart, it said that Steve Burrell was in charge of hunt to “Transit/Publications.” Strange that I had toreason it the that find this out! I could only guess o charge was in find out who to took such effort things was because the administration is not serve by us finding out. So, on this Mondayest of Mondays, let s all e-mail Steve Burrell, and tell him what we think of parking the situat Duke. Now, there are a lot of reasons that that Duke fact from the ranging mess, ation is a ol moved all of the student parking to the outskirts their skirted they fact that Durham County, to the most ot obligation to handicapped students by placing

their required spots in Edens, by the Arts/Language dormitories. Either Steve Burrell regards being a Turkish piano player as a serious handicap or he is ill-committed to doing the best job that he can. This deserves protest, and protest we shall. THE DODGER has written out several sample protest emails. Go onto The Chronicle’s homepage, and cut and paste one into an e-mail. Don’t be abusive, don’t be threatening and don’t swear. A little irony is all we need. Send the email to, Stephen .burrell@duke.edu.

Either Steve Burrell regards being a Turkish piano player as a serious handicap, or he is ilkcommitted to doing the best job that he can .

all parts of this beautiful campus. Please be more intelligent, or less cunning, in the future, and put handicapped spaces everywhere, so as to make it easier for me to get around this campus. Protest E-mail Two: Dear Mr. Burrell, I am a foreign student living in the Languages Dorm. In my country, I was a great romancer. There was a certain female thing, a—how do you say, “woman”—who was my great love. She is a coming to visit me next week, and due to the time difference between Lithuania and America, she will be jet lagged. I see that there are many unused handicapped spaces outside of my dorm. I was hoping that I could have one for my woman. She is so fine a woman, I would fear for her if I parked her in the dirt lot. Many thanks. Protest E-mail Three: Dear Mr. Burrell, I am the owner of a tow truck company based in Durham. I really like the way that you have stopped booting cars and now tow them arbitrarily. I think it is even funnier that you sometimes find a car in an illegal spot, and then tow it to another illegal spot in the blue zone. Also, I like it because I am making a lot of money from all of this towing. Please keep up the good work and let me know when might be a good time for us to get together at the Angus Barn. I think that one day you could be the president of this great nation. And when that happens, I would be happy to tow cars from around the White House, and maybe also from the Iraqi embassy, just as a joke. So pick your protest e-mail and send it to stephen.burrell@duke.edu. A thousand undergraduates cannot be wrong!

If enough of us let the administration know that we are fed up, they will listen. Protest E-mail One; Dear Mr. Burrell, I am a Duke student who cannot walk. Largely owing to the fact that I cannot walk, it is difficult for me to walk. Thus, I find myself largely dependent on handicapped spaces. I am just wondering why you put so many handicapped spaces in Edens Quad. This is not to say that I do not like Edens Quad. But you seem to be under the impression that Edens Quad is the THE ARTFUL DODGER drives an ’Bl Winnebago only place where my inability to walk exhibits itself, with a “Dark, Scary and Dangerous Dirt Lot Zone” when in fact, I find myself incapable of walking on pass in the window.

Trustees approve Phi Psi may lose IFC recognition increase in tuition >

I* TRUSTEES from page 1

At the most recent meeting, the trustees outlined a schedule for monitoring and assessing the plan. Stand-

ing committees will bear much of the oversight burden until the full board takes on an extensive review in 2003. The board’s business and finance committee talked extensively this weekend about financial aid changes and the tuition increase, which is proportionally larger than increases over the last two years. Previously, tuition was boosted by 3.1 percent. Mandatory tuition and fees will increase to $26,768. Total cost, which includes room and board, will increase by 4.2 percent to $34,416. The increase, President Nan Keohane said, is a direct result of salary increases. “We are very people intensive; it’s a labor intensive enterprise,” she said. “That was one of the main drivers. At the same time, we’re taking some significant steps in financial aid.... The trustees made clear that financial aid will increase at least as much if not more than tuition.” Trustees voted to extend undergraduate financial aid to include two summer session terms and waive summer earnings requirements for students in summer school or studying abroad. Also, international students who matriculate beginning in fall 2002 will be eligible for financial aid. “It’s very hard to predict the future because it’s hard to predict the economy. We try to be sensitive to the economic pressures on our families,” Keohane said, vowing to keep a close eye on the faltering economy. “We’re not trying to get too much across the consumer price index, but you’re not going to see a tuition freeze or a major jump.” IN OTHER BUSINESS; The academic affairs committee briefly revisited a report on admissions and financial aid that revealed that one in five Duke students, who otherwise would not have been admitted, were admitted because of their wealth or their athletic ability. The committee reaffirmed its commitment to reducing the number of fundraising slots and discussed new admissions criteria that place emphasis on “intellectual yeast.” The new criteria is expected to affect the admission of about 30 incoming students. The student affairs committee, Keohane said, discussed the new plan for upperclass housing allocation. The plan would set aside all auxiliary quadrangles as well as Edens quad for a combination of selective groups, fraternities and independents, while independents would live alone on Main West corridor and in the West-Edens Link. The trustees also allocated the Campaign for Duke’s $5OO million increase as expected, with the biggest jumps in goals for athletics, divinity and engineering.

ual actions, not a group activity. Nefouse added that all Phi Psi brothers deactivated at a meeting last Wednesday night and that the administration should now consider those students as residents of House BB Dormitory. “Individuals need to take responsibility for their actions,” Nefouse said. “If the University has evidence to indict an individual or find an individual guilty of something, the individual needs to step forward and take responsibility for it.”

Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek said she saw the damage Friday afternoon but that by then, it had been cleaned up extensively. She reported that not only had a bathroom window pane been broken, but the metal molding of the window had been bent. She said that prior to her visit, officials had found the commons room damaged and dirty to the point of being unusable. “The actual damage that was done was unacceptable,” Wasiolek said. “If it were a statement against the appeal..., it’s an un-

acceptable and irresponsible way to voice one’s disapproval.” The Undergraduate Judicial Board is also currently investigating Phi Psi for another incident. Interfraternity Council President Chris Dieterich said Phi Psi will likely no longer be IFC-recognized, given that there are no active members of the organization. “Assuming that it is a reaction to

the [appellate] decision, that affirms the rationale behind the decision in the first place... which is, ‘This is a group that doesn’t need to be a part of campus,”’ he said.

Women’s History: The State of the Field

WarfareJs usually understood exclusively as men’s business. But scholars know that women have played many roles in war. What difference does it make to tell the history of warfare from the perspectives of women and gender? -

Speakers: ‘Alison Rowley, Soviet and East European Studies Program, Duke ‘Penny Summerfield, University of Manchester ‘Kristen Neuschet, History, Duke ‘Miriam Cooke, Asian and African Languages, Duke ‘Leisa Meyer, College of William and Mary ‘Chair: Claudia Koonz, History, Duke

One of the exploding fields in women’s history today is women’s legal history. In law schools, feminist legal theory is challenging old assumptions about the meaning of law. Leading scholars are asking how laws have shaped women’s lives and how gender has shaped the law.

UC-Berkeley ‘Chair: Jean O’Barr, Director, Women’s Studies Program, Duke

This survey panel will look at women’s history around the world over a period of 1000 years. What have we learned from the past 35 years of historical research on women?
