Councils hear update on academic integrity By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

RICH GLICKSTEIN/AFP

Florida State’s Marcell Haywood tries to drive by Clemson’s Will Solomon in last night’s opening game in Atlanta. Solomon hit a key three-pointer to seal the win for the lowest-ranked team in the tournament. See story, page 11. Clemson goes on to play first-seeded North Carolina today at noon. Second-seeded Duke faces off against seventh-seeded N.C. State at 9 p.m.

The Academic Integrity Assessment Committee spoke about the state of academic dishonesty yesterday at the first-ever joint meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council and the Engineering Faculty Council. The committee concluded that faculty must play a larger role in addressing the issue, which is a growing problem nationwide. “What we’re seeing consistently in the 2000 and 2001 surveys [is that] Duke faculty, compared to their colleagues, are doing less to promote academic integrity,” said ALAC Co-chair Elizabeth Kiss, director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics. The most recent survey of Duke faculty members indicates that faculty at other honor code institutions are twice as likely to promote academic integrity—through both dialogue and action—than those at Duke. Sophomore Missy Walker, co-chair of the Honor Council, said faculty should play a larger role in the process. “You’re not just our school masters,” Walker told them. “We’re watching you, and we’re taking notes, literally and figuratively. What you do impacts us.” Faculty response to the presentation by Kiss, West and Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Kacie Wallace was notably sparse, but members of both councils will have the opportunity to discuss the issue at another joint meeting in April. Kiss also presented the four recommendations of the ALAC: the creation of

an academic integrity council, the mobilization of faculty to promote academic integrity, the clarification and review of academic integrity policies and the publication of a faculty brochure. The new council would have several functions and would serve mainly as a coordinating force for academic integrity projects. In particular, Kiss said, it would examine the growing trend of Internet-related dishonesty. The AIAC also noted several inconsistencies and outdated material in current Duke policies. “Information about Duke’s policies... is currently scattered through different University documents,” the proposal reads. “These See COUNCILS on page 10

NCSU, UNC announce major genomics initiatives By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON A divided House of Representatives passed $958 billion in income tax cuts over 10 years Thursday, handing a major legislative victory to President George W. Bush while fueling an increasingly angry partisan fight among House members. Voting 230 to 198, largely along party lines, the House approved a rate reduction that would affect all taxpayers and made part of the tax cut retroactive to this year. The 10year plan is the first and most significant part of Bush’s $1.6 trillion tax cut package; other elements of Bush’s proposal are expected to be drafted in the House as early as next week “Help is on the way,” House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-111., told Bush in a telephone call after the vote. The president was in North Dakota, gathering support for his tax plan. “The people are speaking,” Bush told an ebullient crowd in Fargo. “If you like what you hear today, maybe e-mail some of your folks in the United States Senate” to urge them to vote for the bill, the president said. Democrats sought in vain to delay the GOP bill, which raced through the House without legislative hearings and just three hours

Wake Co. schools sign Pepsi deal For $6 million, Pepsi gains exclusive school vending rights. Opponents worry about health effects and commercialization. By MELISSA SOUCY The Chronicle

Since Monday’s finalization of Wake County school system’s exclusive beverage deal to make Pepsi its sole soft drink vendor, debates over the decision have pitted school officials who hail the deal’s fund-raising potential against a coalition of parents, nutritionists and board members worried about the health impact on students. Under the five-year, $6 million contract, Pepsi machines will replace all existing vending machines in Wake County’s middle and high schools. According to the Wake school system’s financial officer Mark Winters, Pepsi will give the system $1 million dollars the first year and $525,000 each of the next four years; individual schools will receive a 42 percent commission for each drink sold. “For the first time, we are getting compensated for these machines,” said school board chair Bill Fletcher. “This is away of fundraising without taking taxpayers’ money. If we were properly

funded, we wouldn’t have to go here.” See PEPSI on page 4

Pepsi deal raises health questions Ronald McDonald House I* PEPSI from page 3

Fletcher explained that this contract does not signify an increase in the number of vending machines or the use of advertising. Rather, it takes the existing machine locations and puts them under one contract and one vendor. The principals of each school will determine whether to add or introduce new machines. Board vice chair Kathryn Quigg stressed that the school board’s vote was not over whether or not to have vending machines, but whether to have one vendor or separate vendors. “Nothing is being done differently than what has been done over the last 30 years.” Board member Susan Parry disagrees. She said that while she worries about the health implications of “the constant lure of junk food,” her top concern is the “creep of commercialization into an academic setting.” Parry explained that students are a captive audience and it is contradictory for a commercialized school to tiy to teach them to be independent thinkers. Dietitian Terri Brownlee of the Duke Diet and Fitness Center explained that by drinking soda, children increase their phosphorus and caffeine intake, which negatively affect bone health. Additionally, soda also tends to replace products like milk, which is good for the bones. “Kids are always going to choose the sweeter soda over the healthier beverage,” she said. Wake County Superintendent Bill McNeal pointed out that products in the machines will remain the same and that bottled water and juices still will be available. “Currently the number one best-seller in the vending machines is bottled water,” McNeal said. Federal and state laws prohibit the sale of soft drinks during lunch time in secondary schools and during the school day to children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Wake County’s deal is the first of its kind in the area; Durham County Public Schools has no such deal as of yet.

Schweitzer’s achievements merit jersey retirement

this week, The Chronicle raided the University secretary’s office and obtained everyone’s schedule for spring break. As you will read, some Dukies have more ambitious plans than others. The highlights follow: Pratt School ofEngineering Dean Kristina Johnson and President Nan Keohane are headed to a special episode of Survivor, where they will compete to be the first to raise a $5O million donation. Although she does not know how to raise money, Charlayne Hunter-Gault is going along to see if the TV show can bring her fame Meanwhile, the freshman class is paralyzed on East Campus, unsure how to fit spring break into the matrix. But many upperclassmen head to Myrtle Beach, and are followed with zeal by Parking Enforcement officials, who attempt to ticket the students themselves. Down in Myrtle, incoming Duke Student Government President C.J. Walsh is mistaken for that other portly redhead with phat ideas. Human Resources Vice President Clint Davidson is reviewing George Bush’s 1992 thousand points oflight speech, trying to turn Duke into a kinder, gentler university. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask was going to go to Disney World with the Lange family, but the plane to Orlando had to make an emergency landing. Police arrested T3 in Columbia, S.C., for smoking in the plane’s bathroom. DSG Attorney General Jessica Budoff and DSG President Jordan Bazinsky are set to go to Mexico, but only Budoff makes it there. It turns out she only bought one ticket because she thought that she OR Bazinsky were going instead of she AND Bazinsky. Dining guru and DSG legislator Jason Freedman, a junior, is going on a tour of dysfunctional ARAMARK facilities, but he is planning a detour to a hospital after he gets salmonella. Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst arrives, too, held closely on a leash by Freedman. Phi Kappa Psi fraternity brothers are sprinkled throughout the world but still claim that in spirit, they are a group. Athletic Director Joe Alieva is spending his spring break in his office. Coach Mike Krzyzewski forgot to tell him where to go. The Chanticleer staff is planning to spend its break up in The Chronicle office, ‘borrowing’ photos for its 2001 issue. Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni is spending his break analyzing the Auxiliary Services long-range plan. He expects to realize that the only way to break even is to privatize himself. The above editorial is meant as nothing more than a joke.

I thought I had made it to all the home games for the Duke Women’s Basketball team, but I must have missed a few. I obviously missed the games where the Duke women’s team played against men’s teams. I mean, since the debate on whether to retire Georgia Schweitzer’s jersey is centered on comparing her statistics and honors to the male players whose jerseys have been retired, they must be playing in the same league, right? As quoted from Athletic Director Joe for referenced article, see

Alieva in the March 7 issue of The Chronicle, “Georgia has been great, but she just doesn’t stack up.... There are 12 or 13 guys who have

done what Georgia has done

and their jerseys haven’t been retired.” Well, there has not been a

female player at Duke who has done what Schweitzer

has done! We all know the statistics.

Schweitzer has become the first Duke women’s player that has earned over 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists and 150 steals.

Schweitzer is also the first Duke women’s player to be finalist for the Naismith women’s college basketball player of the year. This

incredible student-athlete also deserves to be the first Duke women’s player to have her jersey retired. Alieva should stop comparing Schweitzer to the male players and reward her for being one of the best female basketball players at Duke. Cheryl Morgan

How odd it was to read The Chronicle’s March 5 edi-

torial that derided the choice of Charlayne Hunter-Gault as the commencement speaker, as I have spent the past few days wondering how I could get tickets to the event so that I could hear her speak. While it may be true that Hunter-Gault is “someone who no one else knows,” the burden of that witlessness and the blame for it lie' entirely with the ignorant, and the ignorance is indeed disconcerting. And, to the contrary, HunterGault is far from unknown—despite the fact that she does not often appear on the

representation, they chose to reissue their advertisements—this time without any pictures. In effect, the history department decided that it was easier not to represent women visually at all than to do so in a diverse and topic-related manner. Are women not worth representing outside of fashion magazines and glamour shots? Instead, I believe that women are not just bodies on display: We are workingprofessionals,

which she had to live separate from the other students. For four years, I was a student at the university that Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes were able to desegregate only by order of the federal courts, a university at which they fearlessly risked their lives for an education and for the larger cause of civil rights. Which of you can be said to

have done the same? If you, the editorial staff, are ignorant enough to write such an editorial without knowing Hunter-Gault’s story, then you are likely ignorant enough to fail to grasp the true weight of what Hunter and Holmes did. You should be ashamed of yourselves! As journalists, you should at the very least know of her journalistic credentials. And if you, students of this University, are not motivated enough to know about someone who doesn’t often appear on MTV or

nightly news. I admit that my feelings about the selection of Hunter-Gault are biased. As an undergraduate at the University of Georgia, I lived for two years in the dormitory that Hunter-Gault, then Charlayne Hunter, integrated in 1961—a dormitory in for referenced editorial, see http:!

mothers, daughters, students, thinkers and more. Despite our advances, gender equity still has a long way to go, and the Women’s History Month advertisements are just one small example of why. Currently, women still constitute just 12.5 percent of members of Congress while accounting for 70 percent of those impoverished throughout the world. Instead of reducing us to homogenized pretty faces, I encourage everyone—including the history department—to celebrate Women’s History Month by enjoying the accomplishments women have achieved and by recognizing the distance we have yet to go.

The selection of Hunter-Gauit is indeed a bold move and a real gift by the administration. There is no speaker more “major” than Hunter-Gauit. She

undoubtedly “stacks up,” although your knowledge does not. I would request that you spend some time getting to know HunterGault’s story and that you come to commencement ready to hear the words of this important and courageous human being.

Its jumpy basslines and All-American riffs get the arms swinging and heads bobbing, but Theres a P each-fuzz edge that rnAnc. GRADE: reminds you that it's still not B Mellencamp. These songs work best as indie rock for the Banana Republic set, easy to imagine notched at track five on those free-CD comps you get if you buy $5O worth of stretch pants. Nowhere is the feeling more evident than on "Take The Fifth," where frontman Britt Daniel makes love to all things pop. Daniel's breathy vocals conjure images of leather jackets and spiky pink hair, all lacquered over with a super-bright guitar/drum mix that's more like Talking Heads than the band's 1996 debut, Telephono. Girls Can Tell is full of skating-rink anthems, rife with ruminations on the downfalls of following in dad's footsteps ("Fitted Shirt") and unrequited puppy-love ("1020 AM") As with much of Spoon's work, this album doesn't offer anything new or unconventional. But at least it offers a reason to stash those "best-of" compilations of 'Bos faves for awhile. —By Jonas Blank

That little noncountry next to England has brought us Catherine Zeta-Jones, rock band Super Furry Animals and the best sheep in the world. And you know how we love sheep. Gorky's Zygotic Mynci also hail from Wales, and they share much in common with the Super Furries. Defiantly singing in Welch and wrapping their message in a syrupy psychadelica, these two bands convinced many a Recess staffer that the clubs in Cardiff have as much to offer as the hills of the surrounding countryside Since the Super Furries issued their brilliant Mwng— a folky, Welsh-only masterpiece—last summer, it comes as no surprise that Gorky's would follow with the all-acoustic GRADE: jhe qiue Trees. But where Mwng dripped with zaniness and irony, The Blue Trees inspires with its sheer innocence and lack of selfconsciousness. "This Summer's Been Good From the Start" ranks as one of the most straightforwardly beautiful songs recorded in the past year. And the choice of going acoustic was a wise one, balancing Gorky's usual rocked-out quirkiness with a quieter, lighter feel.

Fashion isn’t just for college

women to get excited about. Here are some spring choices for fellas of all fashion stripes. By Faran Krentdl and Tim Perzyk hen it comes to fashion, the story is usually about what women want. That includes hours of shopping, uppity catalog and boutique brand names and a near-unlimited budget. But in fashion, men (especially college guys) don't play by women's rules. They want their stuff available, more affordable, durable and easygoing. You don't find many college guys who squeeze themselves into stretch pants, but you'll find even fewer who want to spend three hours shopping for them. But fear not: This spring's fashions offer options for boys who want to look beachy as well as upscale guys who like to dress like adults—and they're all readily available. This spring's men's fashions walk a thin line between stylish and overdone. While clean cuts still abound, even the most conservative designers have injected a hefty dose of color into their gear. Spring also sports a print explosion, with every theme from surfer dude to cowboy representing. And even though it's been 30 years since the 70s, an overdose of Village People leftovers has invaded the counters and the streets. For adventurous types, . pants, and shoes...) of many colors can be a great opportunity what about guys who like going back to basics? are some modified options—old styles with new spins. A sumihic tees are back, but this time their print is intentionally ently, the just-washed-ashore look is big this season.) 's faux-weathered applique shirts ($24.50) shoot for authentic!screen-patterned tops look more tired than tattered. Gap's two-tone ringer tees ($16.50), best in navy, are a simpler, ;r and solid option. ir bottoms, summer's perpetual bedfellow—the board icrt—is back big-time. Now available in screaming shades of color, spring's biggest fling is Hawaiian prints, a recurring theme at popular chain outfitters. Check out J. Crew's fly'eight swim trunk in Brit khaki ($3B) or Abercrombie's equalitrageous Higgs Beach surf shorts ($39.50), available in yellow, green or blue. For the beach-bound, J.Crew and igle score, offering a number of appealing swim trunks. AE's ird short ($3O), cut to land low on the thigh but comfortably /inner is J. Crew's shorter side-stripe swim trunk ($3B), a headboard turner in flame. Since shorts can make it in and out of water (and even to class if you them a put with good neutral-color top), they might be a staple worth the investment. For those endowed with a clean supply of underwear, you might want to check out some jeans—the once-again popular pants that weren't too popular until recently—when Diesel picked up some fuel-. Their jeans (a steep $95) have a good fit, clean lines and

come in heaps of different cuts. One awesome addition almost makes them worth the price—they don't shrink in the wash. Other bottoms popular for spring include straight-leg pants in all colors and super-prep slacks with swooshy nylon fabric and a slight flare. Many stores suggest pairing these items with the here-today, gone-tomorrow fabric belt, a gender-crossed accessory popping up at Gap, Abercrombie and American Eagle. Gan'^ "ribbon" belt (59.50) is cheap ’ sy, while AE's D-ring web be' ($12.50) is a lucky charm in n bright. The durable option?

But if you're looking for pants that can stand on their own, we cast our vote for Banana Republic's slate-gray flatfront Dawson pants, which can be dressed up, toned down and paired with just about any shirt out there. We also like Banana Republic's flat-front "hacking" shorts ($3B), clean-cut and comfortable for warmer weather. If you want a plain-cut, vibrant-colored shirt to pair with the new pants, check out Gap's pique polo ($26), which comes in no less than 20 different hues. Also amusing are French Connection UK's logo tees, featuring the slightly obnoxious, always ambiguous "FCUK" across the front. Anyone who enjoys looking like a precocious 16-year old or clubbing Eurotrash college kid should feel free to indulge—and so should you if you think you can pull it off. One of spring's biggest overdue accomplishments? The death of all things cargo. The new rule: if you really need that many pockets, go to North Face and t buy a knapsack. If you want to look like you're in the army, join it. Otherwise,

SPRING In some ways, you could consider the average girl an amateur cologne tester in disguise. She's equipped with exquisite taste, a nose that never forgets a smell and an impulse that directs her to cute boys' necks. So, long after she forgets his chronic tardiness and inability to sign for a bill over $2O, she s till remembers his aroma. With a good cologne, a guy can at least ensure he leaves behind one good memory. But if he wants to, he'd better smell better than Lever 2000. Luckily, we're sending cologne report cards home with you for Spring Break, so you don't have to wait until the end of the semester to find out if you are failing in the smell department. But then again, the nearest girl could probably tell you that anyway.

many-pocket pants! But if you must buy a "utility" item (and you're not a carpenter), check out the toned-down shorts with fewer mindless fabric additions (e.g. hammer loops). Also, be sure to thank the fashion police for losing last year's dangerous, mid-calf chinos, which have slunk quietly onto sale racks. Shants go home! For nights out, dressier looks get more of the synthetic treatment, as Lycra- and polyster-blend v-necks abound. Armani Exchange's coverstitch v-neck ($3B) is sleek and sleeveless in black, and French Connection's basic shortsleeve button-down ($49) is a slim-fitting nightlife asset. Also spotted on the town: no less than four pairs of bright orange Saucony sneakers (about $7O) in one night! As always, night-wear is what you make it. Whether you snatch a tight-fitting tee from Wet Seal or some vintage poly pants from Thrift World, if you can have fun in the clothes, then the clothes will look great on you.

Lesbian activist Holly Hughes claims to be “Preachl the Perverted,” but she’s really just pissing people By Alexandra Wolfe

Holly

has vested in me the opportunity to ask you to be lesbians for the afternoon," said the introductory speaker of Holly Hughes' one woman show, "Preaching to the Perverted." This past weekend, Hughes, one of four N.E.A. artists who were denied funding in 1998 because of their "indecent" work, drew enough of a crowd at Manbites Dog Theater to require an extra matinee. Surprising, considering Hughes' performance resembled the temper tantrum of a seven-year-old child trying to get attention. While Hughes did get attention, she was not able to convert everyone in the audience to lesbianism, or convince them of her arguments. Her schtick is a tired jambalaya of "the gay agenda" and jibes at the Supreme Court, with Hughes mocking those who have denounced her as the audience laughed along. The show opened with an answering machine message from the theater with a man denouncing "Preaching to the Perverted" as "garbage" for "nasty minds." The next surprise was a loud gunshot to silence a male voice repeating "N.E.A. four" over and over again. Soon after, as Hughes threw mini American flags all over the stage, her performance became strikingly similar to a toddler, angry at his parents, getP | (n front of an audience and TEMPER TANTRUM: Holly Hughes' humor uses yelling, S—, f—, s—, f—!" pretty simple tricks like cuss words and dildos.

tin 9 U

We are not enlightened by these words we just marvel at their absurdity. Hughes' brand of shock value provokes the same reaction. The N.E.A probably did not revoke Hughes' funding out of homophobia. Although Hughes may push the outside of the envelope, she does so by pulling out a dildo on stage and saying the word "cunt," a feat that most able-bodied —but not necessarily sound of mind —people can easily accomplish. Continuing with her anti-authority routine, Hughes took the usual tired potshots at the Bush administration. The whole theater exploded when she talked about protesting the inauguration by wearing a bunny suit (which she also wore for part of the show) to the rally. She described a scene where she chanted, "Cheney needs a heart, Bush needs a brain," the whole time while the people around her shouted slogans like "It takes a village, not a village idiot" and "No need for a honeymoon, we've already been screwed." Although she is a staunch lesbian activist, Hughes took potshots at lesbians as well. Being a lesbian, she joked, must mean having, "an enlarged hypothalamus, which secretes special rights." Hughes' show is humorous, but it may not be art. If anything, it is the kind of humor found in most college dorm rooms. Even Jesse Helms wouldn't have been able to stifle a laugh for some of it. But, like several in the audience, he wouldn't necessarily have been laughing with her. □ —

Catlett Comes To NC Central An Elizabeth Catlett retrospective at the NCCU Museum of Art reminds us of her mastery of printmaking. Any artist who hopes to create immortal works that become part of the elusive, intransigent canon must combine their virtuosity with the ability to reflect a sense of his or her own time. Austen and Joyce did it, as did Beethoven, Picasso, Walker Evans.... The short list continues, but one common denominator was that each rode the Zeitgeist like a zephyr into immortality. In viewing the large Elizabeth Catlett retrospective now on display at the North Carolina Central University Museum of Art, struck one is not simply by the excellence of the but by the felt presence of their maker works, and the important history lesson imparted—a

By Jason Wagner visual vocabulary in which we can discuss America's past of racial inequality and struggle. The show marks a homecoming for Catlett, in that she taught art at Durham's Hillside High School for several years in the 1930s before leaving for the University of lowa. There she studied with Grant Wood, who encouraged her to create work about the people she knew. Elizabeth Catlett: Master Printmaker follows Catlett's career from 1946 to the near present in over 70 prints from the Moore Energy Resources Collection. In the 1940s she created quietly powerful images of black men and women struggling in an unjust society. "A Special Fear For My Loved Ones" presents the body of a lynched black man surrounded by the feet of other men above him. It's a strong example of Catlett's use of the dynamic symmetry marking much of her work, and the image recurs over 40 years later in

1992's To Marry, which features a just-married couple embracing, juxtaposed above the "Special Fear" image. The effect is stunning. As general bookends to the show, these pieces encase a significant and colorful timeline of the civil rights movement, with Catlett's prints depicting everything from the force of Malcolm X, Angela Davis and the Black Panthers, to the soulful and steadfast care of black mothers and the then-nascent black feminist movement. As Kenneth Rodgers, director of the NCCU museum, writes in his opening catalog essay, "[Catlett] used printmaking as a medium for reflecting on and transforming social justice. The audience, whether... black or white, male or female, always mattered." Catlett's ability to look through her canvases and into the viewer without compromising her work is exactly why we will be seeing and knowing her work centuries from now.

Cruel and unusual Executing mentally retarded prisoners brings no justice In America Bob Herbert Antonio Richardson had already eaten what was supposed to have been his last

meal. Now he was waiting, frightened, in the prison cell with the gray walls and the telephone at the Potosi Correctional Center in Potosi, Mo., about 65 miles southwest of St. Louis. The state of Missouri has a death penalty but no death row. Executions are carried out in the same prison wing as the infirmary Potosi. In the last few hours oftheir lives, the condemned prisoners are kept in a cell near the infirmary and are allowed to make and receive as many phone calls as they like. Time had nearly run out for Antonio Richardson when word came about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday that the U.S. Supreme Court had ordered a temporary stay of his execution. Richardson had been scheduled to be killed bylethal injection at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Richardson, who is brain-damaged and mentally retarded, was part of a group of two young men and two teenage boys who raped and murdered two young women in St. Louis in 1991. He was 16 at the time of the attack. Only the United States, Congo and Iran continue to execute people for offenses committed when they were juveniles. But that is not the issue on which Richardson’s case—and life—

hinges. His lawyer, Gino Battisti, is trying to convince the courts that it is a cruel and unusual punishment, and therefore a violation of the Eighth Amendment, to execute someone who is mentally retarded. What passes for justice in some of these cases is ludicrous. A lawyer for Antonio Marquez, a brain-damaged and mentally retarded man who was executed in Texas in 1995, would later say, “P was never able to discuss the specifics of his legal case with him, but instead we talked a lot about his favorite animals, things he liked

to draw, and how he missed being able to cases see his brothers and sisters.” Anthony Porter—whose I.Q. was 51, among the lowest on record for a condemned prisoner—spent 16 years on death row in Illinois. At one point he was just 48 hours away from execution when the state supreme court granted

What passes for justice in some of these is ludicrous .

lawyer, has asked the Supreme Court to consider his argument that such a consensus has since developed. Tuesday night’s stay of execution will give the court time to decide whether to hear his argument. If it decides not to consider it, the stay will automatically expire. Since 1989,11 additional states have enacted laws prohibiting the execution of the retarded, and a number of other states, including Missouri, are considering such laws. Capital punishment is always problematic. But additional serious difficulties arise when those subject to the death penalty are mentally retarded. It is extremely difficult to determine the level of culpability of offenders with mental handicaps, and the death penalty is supposed to be reserved for the most blameworthy perpetrators of the most heinous acts. In addition, mentally retarded defen-

dants most often find it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to participate effectively in their own defense. And there are documented cases of mentally retarded individuals confessing to murders that they had not committed. Battisti told me yesterday that, given the opportunity, he will ask the Supreme Court to hold as a matter of law “that there now exists a national consensus against executing retarded people” in the United States, and therefore such executions violate the Eighth

Amendment.

“That’s the single issue I have in my petition,” he said. “That’s my only issue.” He had been up all night because his client’s life was at stake. And over the phone, you could hear the exhaustion in his voice. Bob Herbert’s column is syndicated by The New York Times News Service.

him a reprieve. Which was a good thing, because it turned out he was innocent. After all those years on death row, he was exonerated and released in 1999.

The U.S. Supreme Court considered

this issue more than a decade ago, and ruled in 1989 that executing the mentally retarded was not a violation of the Eighth Amendment. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, writing for the majority in that case, said there was insufficient evidence of a “national consensus” against such executions. At the time, Georgia and Maryland were the only states that barred the execution of the mentally retarded. Antonio Battisti, Richardson’s

A problem without a quick answer Inside out Mary Carmichael Bishop Neumann High School has 231 students, with about 20 students per class. The home of the Golden Knights, it is situated three hours north of Pennsylvania in a bucolic town called Williamsport. In recent years, its students have done especially well in forensics and foreign languages. A full 85 percent of them go on to college. A Catholic school, Bishop Neumann requires its pupils to take four credits in theology as well as four in English, math, science and social studies. The school, in its own words, “strives to develop within students a sense of respect for themselves (body and spirit), their community and their country.” Wednesday around noon at Bishop Neumann, an eighth-grade girl shot a 13-year-old in the shoulder. Doubtless she had seen the coverage of Monday’s tragedy at Santana High School in suburban San Diego, where Andy Williams, 15, allegedly opened fire and killed two students there. Even if the eighth-grade shooter at Bishop Neumann missed the Santana coverage, she could have read similar stories elsewhere about the spate of school crimes that have cropped up in headlines this week. Seven separate students were arrested in California Tuesday for making violent threats. An eighth teenager, a 15-year-old honor student from Camden, N.J., was arrested Tuesday for threatening to shoot members of a clique in his wood shop class. And a ninth, from Charles Town, W. Va., was charged with assault Tuesday for writing in an e-mail to the school

board president; “I will put you in so much pain that you will wish you were dead.” Wednesday, as the Bishop Neumann shooter was taking out her gun in Williamsport, students at Santana High were making their way down the halls to the cafeteria. They did not see the holes where stray bullets from a .22-caliber revolver had pierced the walls. Administrators had caulked them in already. They did not see the blood stains. Those were painted over.

American high schoolers have not suddenly moved from disgruntled grumblings and backyard fistfights to

vicious e-mails and massacres.

We can cover up the evidence with caulking and paint; maybe it makes us feel better. But we can’t cover up these crimes. We need to discuss why a Catholic school that claimed to harbor “a climate of love and hope” was no different than the impersonal Colorado factory that churned out Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. And we can no longer afford to lie to ourselves based on skewed anecdotal evidence. American high schoolers have not suddenly moved from disgruntled grumblings and backyard fistfights to vicious e-mails and massacres. School violence has always been with us. In a joint study by the Department of Justice and the Department of Education published last week, researchers reported that violent crime in schools actually decreased between 1992 and 1998, from 48 crimes per 1,000

students to 43 per 1,000. Shooting sprees are more common now than they were five years ago, but the overall number of students killed in schools is down. And in 1999, about 7 percent of high schoolers in the study reported carrying a weapon on school property within the last month. Six years before that, it was 12 percent.

What gives? Could it be that violent crimes in schools only make headlines when the weapon of choice is a gun, when the victims are numerous, or when the victims are white? What about gun control? Would any law keep these tragedies from happening? Aren’t these kids already getting guns illegally? Do we have a good picture of who the shooters are? Students at Santana said Andy Williams was a loner. Lawyers said that’s exactly who he wasn’t. “He was not a loner sitting in a corner with a Doom sweatshirt making ground glass to put in a bomb,” the district attorney said. “That’s my frustration. We cannot tie all this up neatly for you.” When we try to come up with rules to prevent school shootings, do we keep a clear head? Does anyone know what’s really going on? Here’s another sad story: One morning, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer took out her .22-caliber semiautomatic rifle, a Christmas gift from her father. She went to a local school and peered through the sights. Within one minute, she had killed the principal and a custodian who were trying to shield students. She also wounded eight children and a police officer. That was in 1979. We’ve had over 20 years to keep it from happening again. And that’s the scariest thing about school shootings—we don’t know how to stop them.

Committee urges Schools may collaborate on genomics referring students COUNCILS from page 1

documents are sometimes inconsistent in describing the faculty’s role and responsibilities.” Wallace’s portion of the presentation addressed the role of the Undergraduate Judicial Board in examining cases of academic integrity. She said faculty members’ perception that the process is inconsistent or unfair may be inaccurate. In addition, the survey showed that while just 16 percent of faculty who had found cheating reported it, only 10 percent think the process is unjust. In fact, Wallace said, referring cases to judicial authorities is the only way to maintain consistency in punishment. She also said that referral plays a key role in identifying other problems a student might have in other classes or in his personal life. “It is a challenging issue,” Wallace said. “A lot of times we need to involve [Counseling and Psychological Services] and other areas of campus.” Academic integrity is of growing concern to seniorlevel administrators. Academic Council chair Steven Baldwin read a tetter from President Nan Keohane emphasizing the importance of the presentation and subsequent dialogue. In 1999, a survey authored by the Center for Academic Integrity founder Don McCabe raised consciousness of academic dishonesty at Duke when it revealed that 45 percent of students admitted to engaging in some form of academic dishonesty. The ALAC was then formed to study the issue further.

GENOMICS from page 1 will provide research related to genetics and cancer. The federal government has also pledged over $2 million to support general infrastructural needs. “We aim to do our part in leading this breathtaking revolution spurred by DNA and the book of life,” said Chancellor James Moeser in a statement. “Carolina will be a driving force in determining how the genomics revolution will change the way in which we treat human diseases, design drugs and grow crops.” Several research universities, including Duke, have genomics initiatives, but few have dedicated the same amount of resources as UNC. With all three points of the Research Triangle involved, administrators at Duke and UNC said they are very excited about future collaborative possibilities. “I think some advantages come simply from the density of researchers working on similar problems and able to interact with one another,” said Duke Provost

Peter Lange. “But the advantages and gains can grow, perhaps exponentially, if we are able to find ways to coordinate, cooperate and collaborate in the numerous areas of scientific research that will be carried forward.” To aid in coordination, Magnuson said that several Triangle institutes, such as the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, will play a major role in coordinating the inter-school work. In November, Duke launched a $2OO million Institute for GenomeSciences and Policy. But unlike UNC’s endeavor, Duke’s center has a substantial component dedicated to policy and ethics. Outside the Triangle, many universities have also made significant contributions to genomics. In January, the Lily Foundation donated over $lOO million to genomic research at the University of Indiana. Yale University and the Universities of Wisconsin and Chicago are among the many other schools that have started multi-million dollar genomic initiatives.

The weekly gatherings typically include five or 10 minutes of yoga followed by a half hour of meditation, with a few pages of reading about meditation at the end. “Meditation would be good for anyone who feels overstressed, anyone whose mind tends to race a lot and just needs some relaxation,” he said. Eesley’s expertise in meditation, though recently acquired, is solid. “I went to India last semester [and] lived in an ashram—a spiritual community, the equivalent of a monastery,” he said, “and I studied yoga and meditation from teachers there.” Eesley’s on-campus group plans to experiment with many different techniques, including guided meditation and visualization. “Right now we’ve been telling people to concentrate on the breath and just bring the awareness back to the breath,” he said. “Usually they’re all new to it. But it’s really easy to learn.”

Beard wins rookie of year—again Schwartz, track

head to NCAAs

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Duke’s three members of the ACC’s All-Toumament team continued to gamer recognition yesterday. Freshman Alana Beard was named national freshman of the year by a third publication, collecting the accolade from the Women’s Basketball Journal. Beard led the Blue Devils in scoring and steals this season, adding a dynamic threat in transition that has made No. 5 Duke a national championship contender. “Alana’s just an awesome player,” point guard Georgia Schweitzer said. “She’s only starting to rack up those types of honors. She’s definitely well-deserving.” Schweitzer was also recognized by the WBJ, but her spot on the All-America fifth team surprisingly landed the two-time ACC player of the year two teams back of North Carolina’s LaQuanda Barksdale. Notre Dame’s Ruth Riley was named both national player ofthe year and national defensive player of the year. Three players from the Connecticut Huskies also were picked ahead of Schweitzer, but the Duke senior called the award a great honor and said she did not feel slighted. “Not really. I’ve said all along that that stuff doesn’t really matter to me,” Schweitzer said. Fellow ACC first-teamer Rochelle Parent received national recognition as a second-team defensive AllAmerican. Parent, who was put on the ACC’s defensive first-team along with Beard, has been Duke’s primary stopper this season. In addition to squaring off twice with Barksdale this season, Parent has been given tough assignments against players like Virginia’s Schuye Laßue and Wake Forest’s Olivia Dardy. Having wrapped up their second straight ACC tournament championship, the Blue Devils now await Sunday’s NCAA tournament seeding. Duke, which could be a No. 1 seed, will gather at coach Gail Goestenkors’ home in anticipation of the announcement.

ALANA BEARD skips through the lane at last week’s ACC tournament,

From staff reports Women’s track and field coach Jan SamuelsonOgilvie will take three of her athletes to Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Senior Jillian Schwartz will be competing in the pole vault competition. Schwartz’s vault of 13-5 1/4 last week at the ECAC championships set a new Duke record, earned her first place at the meet and gave her an automatic bid to the national championships. Schwartz, who is currently ranked fourth in the nation, will try to become only the second Duke woman to win back-to-back All-America awards for track and field. Also competing this weekend will be Katie Atlas, who runs the mile. The senior’s season-best of 4:43.34, a Duke record, ranks her 11th in the nation. Atlas posted her qualifying time at the Terrier Classic in January, the first time she had ever competed in the mile on a collegiate level. Rounding out the Blue Devil field will be sophomore Sheela Agrawal. Agrawal did not participate for most of the indoor season, instead electing to rest and prepare for the upcoming outdoor meets. She did run, however, in the Last Chance Meet, where she posted a time of 9:23.98 in the 3,000-meter run, earning her a trip to Fayetteville and setting a new Duke record. The Massachusetts native placed 13th in the mile at last year’s indoor championships and was a 1999AllAmerica selection in cross country. Although this meet concludes the indoor season, Duke’s men’s and women’s track teams will return to action in two weeks at the North Carolina Quad Meet in Chapel Hill.

the ball,” said Solomon, who had missed 31-of-40 shots over a four-game span coming into the postseason. “I am not shooting the ball particularly well now, but there was no hesitation. “I’ve never gotten past the first round of the tournament since I’ve been here, so it’s a learning experience for me and the other guys.” Solomon was 3-for-14 from the field against Florida State before his key shot, which advanced the ninth-seeded Tigers (12-18) into this afternoon’s quarterfinals against top-seeded North Carolina.

Baseball opens ACC play

Lax game rescheduled

The Blue Devils (7-9) open their conference season against Wake Forest (11-2) today at 2 p.m. in WinstonSalem. Duke has won four of its last five games entering today’s contest.

After impending snow postponed last Sunday’s women’s lacrosse game at Johns Hopkins, Duke announced yesterday that the game will be played March 25 at 3 p.m.

“He’s a scorer and it’s almost impossible to stop him completely,” Florida State’s Delvon Arrington said of Solomon, who led the ACC in scoring a season ago and was third this year at 19.8 points a game. “He just hit the big shot they needed to put them over the hump.” Clemson upset the then No. 1-ranked Tar Heels Feb. 18—the team’s only victory in 13 games prior to its win over the eighth-seeded Seminoles (9-21). Florida State was led by Antwuan Dixon, who had a career-high 23 points, including eight in a span of 2:15 that rallied the Seminoles from an eight-point deficit to a 62-61 lead with 2:49 left. But Solomon sank the key threepointer, then grabbed the rebound on the other end on Florida State’s next miss. “He is our shooter, he is our scorer and we look for him to shoot,” Clemson’s Edward Scott said. “Even if he’s not shooting well, we still want him to take shots because he’s a winner. Every shot he takes we think is going in.” FSU had a chance to tie or take the lead in the final seconds, but Adrian Crawford missed a three-pointer and the ball rolled out of bounds off Dixon.

Aikman ousted The Dallas Cowboys waived former Super Bowl MVP Troy Aikman Wednesday night when the quarterback refused to retire. Aikman has suffered nine concussions in 12 NFL seasons.

Shane Battier was named CBS Sportsline’s national player of the year, adding to a list that already includes ESPN and Sports Illustrated. The senior is the favorite to win the Wooden Award for national player of the year when it is presented early next month. Also on the ballot from the ACC are Brendan Haywood, Joseph Forte and Jason Williams.

� All-ACC teams announced The Associated Press released its All-ACC first, second and third teams Monday. For the first time since 1961,three players—Shane Battier, Joseph Forte and Jason Williams—were unanimous selections. Maryland’s Juan Dixon and Georgia Tech’s Alvin Jonesround out the first team.

� Healthy Boozer expected soon Coach Mike Krzyzewski told reporters he is optimistic about Carlos Boozer’s recovery from a foot injury sustained 10 days ago against Maryland. The coach compared it to an injury sustained in 1992 by former Duke guard Bobby Hurley, from which Hurley recovered in three weeks. Doctors have identified healing of the fractured third metatarsal and have already taken the cast off of Boozer’s foot. Krzyzewski said he will likely be ready three weeks from the night of the injury, and possibly a few days earlier.

Nate James, on the aftermath of last Sunday’s Duke-UNC game “God forbid we do not take care of business Thursday, we will be part of Saturday’s semifinals as spectators.” Clemson coach Larry Shyatt, on his STRATEGY FOR THE ACC TOURNAMENT

“Outsiders—shoot, it was insiders. The school newspaper thought we were going to lose.” Mike Dunleavy, on Duke’s doubters LAST WEEK

� ACC’s “Bald Dome Index” underway For the first time in its history, the ACC tournament will not be played in an arena, instead taking place in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. All 40,000 seats have been sold in what ACC officials call an experiment to see if a larger venue would work. If successful, the tournament will return to the dome when it is next held in Atlanta in 2009.

“I could do a couple of rounds with him.” Virginia coach

Lucchesi TheWhale Frank Lentricchia “In Lucchesi and The Whale, with a daring that verges on recklessness, Frank Lentricchia closes the traditional gaps dividing critical practice from creative writing. One has encountered intertextuality before; this is something more adventurous; intergenre. Only a great literary critic could pull off the fictional tricks on display here. The ambition of this remarkable work is summed up in Duke University Press

one of the hero-narrator’s Melvillean instructions: ‘A word to my students: live like a no-

holds-barred autobiography of yourself, hide nothing, so that you’ll be free for serious writing.’ This is very serious writing.” JOHN SUTHERLAND, University College, London

Autographed copies available Frank Lentricchia is Katherine Everett Gilbert Professor of Literature at Duke University.
