Commons room policy challenged By AMBIKA KUMAR i

You’re at Batty’s with friends. Everyone agreed that one of you would stay sober, but each time you look over at the supposed designated driver, he has a drink in his hand. At the end of the night, he says he’s okay, and you don’t know how much he’s had to drink. In fact, you don’t even know how many you’ve had, but the ride back to campus is short, and you really want to

get home—so you hop in his car, buckle up and keep watch for the cops. Every weekend Duke students return from clubs, mixers and parties. Many of them ride back to campus with drivers who may or may not be over the legal limit and may or may not be drunk. “I don’t go out a single weekend where I don’t question if someone who’s

driving is drunk,” said junior Albert Norweb. “Two or three is probably all right for most people, four for some guys, especially if you’re in a bar for a couple of hours. In general, we always have someone who may not be completely sober but isn’t wasted.” Officially, a person can be declared drunk if his blood alcohol level is See DRUNK DRIVING on page 7

The Chronicle

After months of speculation and deliberation, two reports addressing changes to the alcohol policy and distribution of social space were released yesterday. Many of the recommendations were expected, but two will likely face stiff opposition: the eventual elimination of parties in commons rooms and the new requirement for security at such parties. “There was general agreement that, in the long run, commons rooms ought to be eliminated for parties, or at least for open parties,” interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack wrote in a report to President Nan Keohane. In particular, members of both committees—the Committee on Undergraduate Social Space and the Alcohol Policy Review Committee—expressed concern about unequal access to commons room space and security at large parties. “Commons room parties are known to greatly exceed the occupancy rate of these rooms such that these rooms become so crowded [that] the party extends to hallways and up and down stairwells in the residence halls,” the space report reads. “These parties have the potential to become very dangerous, especially if a

fire should break out.” In addition, both committees noted that non-residential living groups must bear the unequal burden of rent and seSee PARTIES on page 5 5

Defense drives Duke past Razorbacks, into Sweet 16 By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Top-seeded Duke fended off a potential upset in the second half of

d-round NCAA tournament game with one of its most impressive defensive displays of the season. After a pair of jumpers from guard Dana Cherry narrowed the margin to only three points with 17:45 to play, ninth-seeded Arkansas (20-13) gradually went cold from the floor before hitting an absolute dead-end on offense. Duke (30-3) relinquished only 17 points to the Razorbacks in the first 18 minutes of the second half, shell-shocking the underdogs and rapidly turning a tight contest into a 75-54 second-round romp in Cameron Indoor Stadium. With the convincing victory, the Blue Devils advanced to the Sweet 16 to play fifth-seeded Southwest Missouri State Saturday in Spokane, Wash. “It was good effort out there tonight. We played great at times, but we did not have our inside-outside game, and that’s

Group

what we have to have to be successful,” Arkansas coach Gary Blair said. “Give Duke credit. They were doing a great job on post defense.” Aside from their absent inside-outside game, the Razorbacks lacked any offense at all in the second half as they endured a fruitless stretch that produced zero field goals in nearly 11 minutes of basketball. Led by the tenacious defense of freshmen Alana Beard and Rometra Craig, the Blue Devils forced turnover after turnover, while Arkansas’ missed jump shots were invariably snatched up by feisty Duke rebounders. “I felt like we played really great defense and they became a little stagnant,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Maybe they got a little fatigued, I’m not sure. Although they acknowledged that the constant pressure of Beard and her teammates created problems, the Razorbacks denied that a lack of energy caused their inability to score.

Japan rethinks economicratespolicy to nearly zero

Facing financial hardship, the Bank of Japan cut interest By YURI KAGEYAMA Associated Press

Amid growing cries TOKYO of alarm about Japan’s economic woes from home and abroad, the central bank decided to guide its key interest rates to near zero and nip the dangers of deflation. While it stopped short of directcutting rates, the Bank of Japan ly decided at a policy board meeting to take other measures —such as increasing the money supply and buying up government bonds—that will end up having the same effect. The bank said it will no longer target a specific level of interest rates but said the latest policy decision would have the effect of push-

ing interest rates back to zero—a policy it had abandoned last August. Hopes for an easier monetary policy had been growing in political and business circles, as worries about the future of the Japanese economy have sent stock markets in Tokyo and New York plunging. Bank Gov. Masaru Hayami has long resisted such pressure, saying that counting on monetary policy to

achieve economic growth would not work without taking care of the massive bad-debt problem weighing on the nation’s banks. Hayami has also pushed for wider reforms—such as helping to ease government regulations and encouraging new types of business-

es—as a better way to resolve

Japan’s problems. But the recent spate ofbad news about Japan’s economy and the damaging effects they have had on Wall Street last week prodded the

central bank to reverse course. Over the past week, political leaders and some banks have shown more resolve to deal with the bad-debt problem, which many view as being at the crux of Japan’s decade-long economic slowdown. Government officials welcomed the Bank of Japan’s decision. “We have hopes the steps will lead to positive results,” chief government spokesperson Yasuo Fukuda told reporters.

Blackouts leave Californians steaming By TODD PURDUM

New York Times News Service

Previewing summer trouble, a LOS ANGELES heat wave combined with the sudden failure of two large power generators prompted hours of blackouts from San Francisco to Beverly Hills, the first since January and the longest yet, affecting at least a million customers from noon into the afternoon rush hour, officials said. Even as Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham warned in Washington that the nation faced the worst energy supply crisis since the oil embargoes and gas station lines of the 19705, Californians found themselves working in darkened offices, standing over half-cooked steaks, closing stores and creeping warily through crowded city intersections that were without working traffic fights.

The blackouts, lasting up to two hours at a time and the first to occur in some 140 cities in Southern California, were the latest fallout from the state’s ill-fated experiment with partial deregulation of its electricity market, which let wholesale prices float while capping retail rates. That has left the state’s two major investor-owned utilities teetering on the verge of bankruptcy and unable to pay suppliers, including smaller generators that use natural gas or solar power, wind and wood waste products to generate nearly a third of the state’s total daily electricity needs of some 30,000 megawatts. As a result, in recent weeks the small generators have been unable to buy fuel and have shut down about half their capacity, or 3,100 megawatts, while a bill to help them remains stalled in the state Legislature.

As officials plan the future of Perkins Library, Duke Student Government has been providing a student voice to help shape renovation plans that will ultimately result in construction starting in fall 2002. Thus far, two DSG-appointed members of the library

renovation committee have suggested improvements such as making stacks more appealing and organized, expanding The Perk and upgrading Perkins’ technology. “Some of the changes we talked about were [building] more quiet study areas as well as larger study areas such as the Gothic Reading Room and the Deryl Hart Room,” said junior Abhijit Prabhu, DSG executive secretary. “Another addition would be an increase in availability of ethemet technology for students with laptops.” DSG has also proposed construction of a large group study hall where students could discuss schoolwork, an idea inspired by Columbia University’s library. To solicit input, DSG’s academic affairs committee held a forum in the fall for students to voice their ideas. Although turnout was small, DSG Vice President for Academic Affairs Jason Bergsman, a senior, said students gave meaningful input. “We were very pleased with the productive discussion, which complemented the ongoing dialogue within the academic affairs committee and DSG,” said

Bergsman, a member ofthe renovations committee The Perkins renovation committee was formed in August 2000, and student representatives became formal members soon after the formation of the committee. “Since students are the primary users of the library, the committee asked DSG to be involved so that undergraduates would have input on the renovations,” Bergsman said. Committee Chair Robert Byrd, director of Rare Books, Manuscripts and Special Collections, requested DSG input so that the renovation committee, library staffand architects would understand how undergraduates use Perkins and what kinds of library spaces they desire. “I have been impressed with the quality of the DSG representatives’ input,” Byrd said. “They are familiar with renovated libraries at other universities, having visited and used those libraries, and they are eager to see Duke attain comparable levels of quality with respect to its main library for the humanities and social sciences.” The Perkins renovation committee has been meeting every other week and will continue planning through the 2001-2002 school year. The committee has also discussed blueprints with architects, and schematic designs are scheduled to be finished by the end of this year. The renovations are expected to cost more than $3O million.

Alcohol and space policies may undergo major changes

The alcohol policy

Despite complaints by living group presidents that they are too often held accountable for violations that take place in their own space, the 16-member Alcohol Policy Review Committee emphasized that groups hosting parties must be held to high standards. The report suggests policies to help groups regulate their parties, such as giving out wristbands to prevent underage drinking and controlling entrances to their sections. In addition, the report emphasizes that sanctions for violations must be at the discretion of judicial deans and that the amnesty clause should remain in place. “A good number felt amnesty should incorporate everything. If you’re going to report somebody or yourself, you should receive amnesty from all punitive measures that follow,” said committee member Jennifer Stapleton, a senior. The committee did emphasize

The Committee on Undergraduate Social Space, charged with reviewing the availability of programming space to undergraduates, presented 10 recommendations in four categories: accessibility, safety, alcohol and campuswide events. To improve accessibility of social space, the committee advocated the establishment of a central system for reserving social space through the Event Advising Center. In addition, the group felt costs for security and rent for events must remain small.

Review of social space and the alcohol policy

■

Yesterday’s release of two reports addressing the alcohol policy and campus social space will likely spark debate about the use of commons rooms for parties (see story, page 1). But less controversial are the nearly 25 additional recommendations, which range from centralizing registration for programming space to adding a bus stop in front of the Devil’s Den. The two reports, which overlap at times, address their own distinct issues; alcohol and social space.

that students should not be exempt from treatment or rehabilitation requirements following a violation. In all, the committee considered 21 recommendations. Seventeen were approved by a majority of students, faculty and staff on the committee. They include suggestions regarding sanctions, group responsibility and commons room policies; also, the group endorsed the idea of notifying parents about alcohol abuse in extreme cases. Four others did not receive majority support from at least one constituency. Only faculty and staff—-a total of seven members—supported the removal of alcohol-related events from commons rooms and the prohibition of alcohol distribution by living groups. Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack said the recommendations from both reports would be reviewed by senior-level administrators in the coming months and implemented as early as next semester.

Continue the “amnesty policy” for students seeking medical treatment BY BRIAN MORRAY/THE CHRONICLE

In addressing safety concerns, the group recommended putting stricter controls on attendance at parties and the prohibition of disc jockeys, bands and campus-wide events from commons rooms. To facilitate these recommendations, the group also strongly pushed for making Cameron Indoor Stadium and the Sheffield Tennis Center available for campus-wide events.

Reserving space in Cameron has been difficult for students in the past, and even the committee faced opposition from stadium officials. “The committee... understands the

need to protect the Cameron floor. Nonetheless, the committee also believes that Cameron can be used for certain types of events that will not cause damage to the floor,” reads the report.

Commons room problems prove difficult to solve quickly PARTIES from page 1 curity costs at social events. As a result, the space committee suggested that such costs be minimized. But the alcohol committee took a different angle, arguing that commons rooms are public space and thus security should be mandatory. Faculty and staff sitting on the alcohol committee unanimously agreed on the commons room recommendations, but some students did not. Senior Chris Dieterich, president of the Interfraternity Council, said commons rooms should not be considered public space and that he was disappointed by the assumption that student groups cannot responsibly host parties. “Student groups have been discouraged and dissuaded from being responsible for that kind of thing,” Dieterich said. “There are a lot of things that make a group think twice.” In particular, he said groups are hesitant to report alcohol emergencies for fear of investigation of al-

cohol distribution. Steven Baldwin, chair of the Arts and Sciences Council, said he felt resident convenience should play a large role in shaping the debate. “There are students living in particular dormitories that are

inconvenienced when there are rowdy parties going 0n.... I am not against rowdy parties, but I am against inconveniencing students who don’t want to be involved in those parties,” Baldwin said. Dieterich expressed concern about several other recommendations, many of which stem from the consideration of commons rooms as public space. In particular, police officers would enforce the fire code, which would substantially reduce the number of people allowed inside a commons room. And all living groups would be required to register their parties. Other potential policies include requiring groups to issue wristbands, having a cash bar for drinks and establishing one primary entrance to parties. The commons room issues were so contentious among the space committee that members acknowledged the problems but did not propose any one solution. Instead, they presented several, ranging from the creation of alternate social options to the establishment of a living group for National Panhellenic Council members and associated social space. Recommendations from the reports could be implemented as early as this fall, after they are reviewed by senior-level administrators.

COMMONS ROOMS, like this one in Wayne Manor, serve as student social space—but they may no

longer be the sites of student parties if recommendations from a University committee are implemented.

N.C. Republicans propose seniors’ prescription drug bill By GARY ROBERTSON Associated Press

North Carolina seniors who don’t qualify for full Medicaid benefits would get help from the state paying for prescription drugs under a bill talked up Monday

by House Republicans. The money for the program—expected to assist 15,000 older residents —would come from the portion of the state’s tobacco settlement set aside by lawmakers for health-related programs. Several House Republicans and Democratic Gov. Mike Easley made prescription drug coverage for seniors part of their campaigns last fall. Easley wants his own program in place by the end of the year. Republicans decided to file their own proposal now that the Legislature could approve instead. “We consider this bill a first step toward assisting North Carolina’s elderly,” Rep. Michael Harrington, R-

Wake, said at a Legislative Building news conference promoting the measure. The money to pay for the Prescription Drug Assistance Program for Qualified Aged Persons would come from the Health and Wellness Trust Fund, which will receive more than $l.l billion, or 25 percent of North Carolina’s portion of the tobacco settlement, through 2025. The fund on average receives about $4O million annually. Easley will unveil more details after the Bush administration and Congress create a plan for older Americans, said Fred Hartman, an Easley spokesman. But Easley’s office will continue to work on it now, he said. “It’s important that any state plan work within the framework of any federal plan,” Hartman said. “But we don’t want to wait. We’re going to move forward.” Easley said after the November election that his program would cost $l5 million to $3O million a year.

The GOP plan filed last week would provide benefits to citizens over 65 who are ineligible for full Medicaid benefits and are enrolled in Medicaid programs for people with incomes up to 120 percent of the federal poverty level. A small co-payment would be required. The Department of Health and Human Services would also be kept from severely limiting the type of doctor-prescribed drugs it would cover. People would be enrolled on a first-come, first-serve basis until annual funding ran out based on the trust fund’s limitations. The bill also would require the state program to be coordinated with any program approved on Capitol Hill. “If there’s not enough to help everyone... there would be a waiting list,” said Rep. Lanier Cansler, RBuncombe and another sponsor. “But we have to start somewhere. Our seniors are waiting on us to do something and we think this is a great first step.”

Some take chances with drunk driving New manager to have public job interviews

above .08, but impairment begins at a blood alcohol level of just .04, said Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack. Still, the difficulty of judging their own blood alcohol level doesn’t seem to encourage many students to stay completely sober. “If you go to a bar, you’re going to drink at least one drink so you don’t look like an idiot with no drink, even if you are driving,” junior Arta Tabaee said. In most cases, students get home without incident. “Maybe fortunately for them, many of them have not been stopped and charged,” Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department said. “From time to time we set up license checks in different areas of the campus to try to send a message that you shouldn’t be drinking and driving and that you should have a driver’s license with you when you are in a vehicle.” Sometimes police make arrests at the stops; at others, they issue warnings. Clack said that to tds knowledge there have been five arrests for driving under the influence on or around the Duke campus so far this year. Several students have raised concerns that students are driving under the influence more frequently. Some cite the recent shift of greek and selective house mixers to off-campus venues because these events are no longer allowed in fraternity sections. ,

Another male student who recently tried to drive back to Duke drunk found himself in jail. “I had to bail out my friend with $l,OOO at 5 a.m.said junior Cassandra Hooks. “He was driving back from a club drunk, and when a cop pulled him over, he refused to take a Breathalyzer.

from blame from what people do by pushing events off campus,” said junior Jeff Earhart. “It’s unfortunate, because their first concern should be the wellbeing of the students, not their financial well-being.” However, Clack and Dean both said that the ultimate liability lies with the students—and Clack added that the number of drunk driving incidents on or around the campus remains the same as in previous years, refuting student claims. Clack did not have statistics for Chapel Hill, where many Duke students frequent bars and clubs. One male junior, who asked to remain anonymous, was recently pulled over after leaving a mixer at Chapel Hill’s Gotham. “I drove there, and it was really boring at first so I thought maybe I’d spice up my night a little bit and have a drink. Then I was having too much fun, so I kept drinking,” he said. He stopped drinking over an hour before he left. He didn’t think twice before getting in his car, although he said that he smelled and looked like he had been drinking. After being pulled over, the student passed manual sobriety tests, and police charged him only with reckless driving. “I was fine to drive home, but I probably wouldn’t have passed a Breathalyzer,” he said. “I was lucky.”

His friend who was with him already had a DUI on his record, so he had no other choice.” Hooks said her friend had driven drunk several times before but had never had a problem. However, most students said they don’t make a regular habit of jumping behind the wheel after drinking. They make arrangements to ensure they and their friends have safe transportation. They pass their keys to a designated driver or spend the night away from home when necessary. “On Thursday nights I pick up a friend who lives off-campus, and then she takes Safeßides home,” juniorKate Burgess said. Safeßides will take students to offcampus locations but will not pick them up—a policy which several students have complained about. Senior Sara Harris said her friends do not like to use Safeßides—even to get dropped off—because it leaves them too far away from their apartments in the back of the Belmont. “Instead, they try to have one person drive and stay sober, but that never works,” Harris said. “The definition they have of sober is not ‘not drinking’—it’s ‘not drunk.”’

Several council members emphasized that the public interviews will factor heavily into their final selection. “One of the funny parts ofthe process is that you may have your favorite candidate, and when they go out to the public they fall on their face,” Larson said.

McKissick explained that much of the manager’s job is to be the first line of communication between the city government and the public. “You need a candidate who is personable, responsible and diplomatic.... These characteristics cannot be overestimated,” he said. After assessing the chemistry between the candidates and the public, council member Mary Jacobs said the council will use the afternoon interviews to determine how effective the candidates will be at Durham city business. “[The purpose of] the afternoon session would be to discuss their experience and their desire to work in Durham,” she said. Mayor Nick Tennyson distributed data comparing former Durham City Manager Lament Ewell’s compensation package to others across the state. Ewell’s salary, $150,622, was at the upper end of the range. Tennyson noted that as soon as the council selects a manager, it will begin to negotiate a compensation package, which could be reduced.

Fixing academic integrity

recent years there has been a disturbing trend of decreasing academic integrity—from unauthorized collaboration on assignments to students downloading entire essays offthe Internet. The University has not been immune to this infection of dishonesty, as charges of plagiarism rose from 12 during the 1999-2000 academic year to 14 in the past semester. Frankly, Duke has an academic integrity problem. To combat this trend, the Academic Integrity Assessment Committee has come up with a set of four proposals. While all of the proposals have merit, none of them is flawless. The committee’s first proposal is to create an academic integrity council in order to coordinate the development of programs and materials about the honor code, to facilitate information sharing between various committees associated with academic integrity and to recommend policy changes. While having a coordinated effort is a wise move, there is no need to employ another Duke snail-speed committee to do the task. The work of this committee could and should be accomplished by one person who coordinates academic integrity policies. Bottling up this vital issue in a committee will only constrict the process ofreforming Duke’s current academic integrity policies. Get a doer behind this project, and give him the authority to do. The second proposal is to mobilize the faculty’s commitment to academic integrity. The committee is correct that faculty need to take a larger role in explaining what kind of collaboration is acceptable and what kind is not, but the faculty will not mobilize rapidly when asked to modify courses, change exams annually or cite sources in lectures. If the committee is able to facilitate true change in professor behavior, this proposal could make the most difference in decreasing inadvertant student violations. The committee’s third proposal, to create a handbook for faculty, is a noble idea, but again, this is one person’s job. The final proposal is to review and clarify the faculty’s role in the judicial process. Hopefully, any clarification of the faculty’s role does not involve a mandate that forces faculty to report all alleged violations of academic integrity. Tying the faculty’s hands on this issue perpetuates the myth that all instances of academic dishonesty are created equal. In any case, before a member ofthe faculty reports to an honor council or judicial board, he should weigh whether or not there was malicious intent in the dishonest action. Forgetfulness or accidental error should not be confused with deliberate cheating or plagiarizing. The goal of any academic integrity policy should be to form a trusting relationship between professors and students. To build this relationship, the Academic Integrity Assessment Committee needs to invest more time in studying dishonesty at Duke. It needs a real sense of the circumstances behind a broad range of actual cases of academic dishonesty, not just those reported to the judicial board. Ideally, Duke will be a place where there are not a dozen instances of cheating in a decade, let alone a semester. To get there, faculty need to demonstrate their trust by communicating expectations and building enough rapport with students to feel comfortable loosening proctoring policies, for example. The punishment for students who willfully cheat should be harsh, but a new academic integrity policy should not be so rigid that it incorporates generalizations—and not realities —about academic honesty and dishonesty at the University. •

Letters to the Editor

Inaccurate measurement, not bias, plagues the SAT Laura Sellers’ guest column in the March 8 Chronicle suggested that the SAT is “biased” and should not be used as a criterion for college admissions. Her evidence for bias is that “scores increase with every $lO,OOO earned by the test-taker’s family” and “College Board’s national reports show yawning race (and gender) gaps.” Well, I have another measure that also shows women scoring less than men and Hispanics less than Caucasians. Is it also, ipso facto, “biased?” My measure is not IQ or SAT score, but height: Women are on average shorter than men, and Hispanics than Caucasians, The point? A group difference by itself is not evidence of bias. Bias means that for referenced column,

individuals who are really the same, in the characteristic of interest, are measured as different. A group difference by itself means nothing. Before we can convict the SAT or any other test of bias, we need to know what it is supposed to be measuring and then show by some independent measure two things; that it fails to measure

accurately

some

cases; and that these inaccuracies are systematically related to group membership. But there is no clear consensus that the SAT is biased in this sense, Many will agree with Richard Atkinson, president of of the University California System, that some other test would be better than the SAT. But if I under-

stand

him

correctly,

Atkinson’s main objection is not that the SAT is biased

but that it measures the wrong thing. Trashing the test —shooting the messenger—distracts attention from the real issue, which is, “What do we want in students who aspire to attend our elite universities, and how should these qualities be

measured?”

But be aware that whatever test we settle on, if it depends on individual talent and effort rather than on sheer group membership,

different individuals and different groups will score differently.

ARAMARK will result in rock-bottom quality In my high school we had ARAMARK food service. Let me just say that their food is

far worse than the food that we eat at Duke. After four terrible years of ARAMARK, I was extremely pleased with the variety, selection and service of Duke’s dining facilities. My opinion has not changed. I agree that the prices charged are a bit high, but are reasonable. they Everyone can shout for lower prices, but the campus is relatively isolated, prohibiting the option of off-campus dining. Dur higher prices come from this lack of exterior competition, not to mention Duke’s commission from the food points system. However, there is still competition within Duke’s

walls which prevents the prices from soaring way out of control. I have seen it first hand in high school. ARAMARK will promise lower prices in exchange for monopoly privileges. Right now, students see lower food prices as a priority. However, if ARAMARK is here, our priorities will certainly change. At first, they will lower prices, then food quality, service quality and selection will soon hit an absolute bottom. Next, the prices will go back up. Students will be forced to eat terrible food and get ripped off at the same time. From experience I know that the food quality ARA-

when a monopoly comes in things get worse for the consumers. ARAMARK should be a concern for everyone, especially underclassmen who will certainly be affected. The University has a responsibility to do everything possible to prevent ARAMARK from destroying Duke’s dining. Students pay incredible sums of money to come here and should not be forced to eat like prisoners. This is Duke, not UNC. We

should be able to realize that a monopoly like ARAMARK

will only bring higher prices, and food quality that any cook would be ashamed of. Go to hell ARAMARK, go to hell!

MARK delivers is far worse than that of our current facilities. It makes sense that

passport Pavel Molchanov The fate of the nation’s—nay, the world’s—economy will be decided this week at the meeting of the Federal Reserve Board. This meeting, by far the most important economic event in a generation, will mean the difference between recession and recovery in the United States, and by extension, the

rest of the industrialized world. The decision on interest rates that Alan Greenspan and other Fed governors will make is of such magnitude and importance that, by comparison, President Bush’s $1.6 trillion tax cut is a drop in the proverbial bucket. Let us be clear about this: Even if most statistics suggest that we are “merely” in a period of sluggish growth, around 1 percent per year, many signs point to economic deceleration so drastic that actual recession, perhaps a severe one, will follow soon. The chain of events if the Fed disappoints by not cutting rates aggressively enough would be, quite simply, catastrophic. Stock markets around the world would continue a plunge that wiped out almost $BOO billion dollars in consumer wealth last week alone. Consumer confidence (down about 30 percent since last summer) would plummet even further. Production would fall. Unemployment would rise. Tax revenues would plummet, leading to budget deficits, prompting higher interest rates, worsening the economy still. Yes, regardless of what some will

long depression, essentially admitted failure last week. Its national debt, largely the result of unsuccessful government stimulus packages, is so huge that just the interest payments on it are about the size of the U.S. defense budget. Mizuho Holdings, the biggest bank in the world, could well be on the brink of bankruptcy due to billions in loan defaults. The Japanese stock market has not been this low since 1985. (If the U.S. exchanges followed suit, we’d be looking at the Dow Jones industrial average at 1,000, not 10,000, even though an 800-point fall down to the latter number caused a minor panic on Wall Street last week.) But the economy is not just about gross domestic products, stock market averages and inflation rates. It affects real people, like you and me, who are trying to make a living as best they can. When they see their savings evaporate into thin air, they will predictably respond by cutting spending, thus reducing corporate profits and damaging the economy even more. Recession is simply this vicious cycle being brought to fruition. Quite simply put, Fed Chair Alan Greenspan is the only person in the entire world who can prevent this. The tools at his disposal are amazingly simple. All he needs to do is cut short-term interest rates by 0.75 percent or more. The Fed is the most powerful central bank in the world; its moves will likely be followed by its peers, and even if not, a rebound in the U.S. economy would help to rescue other nations that are on the brink of a recession.

The Bush tax cut will not come soon enough to stimulate the economy, and even if it did, it wouldn’t be nearly large enough. On average, it would return $l6O billion a year to taxpayers over the next decade. Sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? But in 2001 alone, US. consumers lost over six times that amount in their mutual funds and 401(k)s when the stock market tanked. Losses on the bourses of Europe and Asia were comparable in magnitude. A look at just three multinational corporations— Cisco, Oracle and Intel—reveals investors’ losses of about a trillion in the last 12 months. A refund check for $5OO from Uncle Sam is nice, but it pales in comparison to the obliteration of one’s stock portfolio, which so many use to finance a car, a mortgage, a college education. A world economic slowdown always impacts developing nations even more

harshly. Without stable banking systems and economies that depend heavily on exports to the West, at least half the population of the world would see a decline in living standards as their governments devalue currencies to try to cope with the challenge. Turkey did this just last month. Who will be next? It is a reflection ofAmerica’s economic power in a globalized world that a decision made in a Washington boardroom will make or break the future of billions of people. One can only hope that Alan Greenspan and his team will make the right decision for the nation and for the world. Whether the Fed has acted improperly in the past is now irrelevant. What matters now is that it can step in, prevent further damage and begin the process of recovery. The trillion-dollar question is: Will it?

What’s in a word? On language I

William Safire “The word smashmouth is everywhere,” notes The New York Times education reporter Edward Wyatt, “the XFL, the title of a book about the presidential campaign, even in a certain columnist’s column.” The XFL is a professional football league, co-owned by the World Wrestling Federation and NBC, that makes a fetish out of ferocity, with teams sporting macho and selfmocking names like “the New Jersey Hitmen” and “the Memphis Maniax.” The book is a campaign-trail memoir by Dana Milbank titled “Smashmouth; Two Years in the Gutter With A1 Gore and George W. Bush.” The columnist is a right-wing vituperator who usually eschews vogue words, but in this case wrote of“the sort of smashmouth campaign that the Democrats perfected.” The word’s meaning goes beyond “aggressive.” It is a new and especially vivid synonym of “brutal, savage, violent,” stopping just short of “heinous” and “barbaric.” However, in the XFL it has a self-mocking quality, and in politics it does not always carry such an offensive coimotation. “Such nasty, smashmouth politics are said by the goody-goodies to be destroying our democracy,” goes Milbank’s thesis, “alienating the electorate and suppressing voter participation. I believe the opposite is true: that nasty is nice on the campaign trail, that it’s cool to be cruel.” Football metaphors are as mother’s milk to politicians: No etymologist has yet come up with the origin of level playing field, but football’s game plan was adopted by campaign strategists, and both politicians and quarterbacks relish the military metaphor of throwing the bomb.

Although coinage of smashmouth is often attributed to Mike Ditka, the former Chicago Bears tight end and coach, that CBS spdrtscaster vigorously, almost aggressively, denies being the originator. The word is a compound adjective, which calls for hyphenation; in current use, however, it is most often treated as one word, as if it were an attributive noun like blood in ‘"blood sport.” It cannot properly be written as two words if used as a modifier. The earliest citation on the databases (can a hacking baseball player slide into a database?) is a September 1984 usage by Jim Wacker, the Texas Christian University football coach, who told David Casstevens ofThe Dallas Morning News that the “physical game” played by his TCU Homed Frogs was “smashmouth football.” Two months later, the columnist George Will praised Wacker for having “the finest sense of nuance in language since Flaubert, or at least since Woody Hayes,” and applied the coinage to politics; “As the clock—the mercifrd clock—runs out in this final quarter of what feels like a 27-quarter presidential game, Messrs. Mondale and Reagan are playing smash-mouth politics. Vigorous, they are.” In 1994, the term was adopted as the name of a rock group, whose members told Wall Street Journal reporter Stefan Fatsis that they liked the way the sportscaster John Madden used it. Above the topically etymological story (everybody wantsa get inna de act), a headline writerreviewed the progress of the locution in one ofThe Journal’s characteristically chatty subheads: “SmashMouth: Sick of the Term? Sorry, There’s No Stopping IF— Blame the XFL If You’d Like, But It’s Old and Seems to Fit the Popular Culture Well.” NBC’s website claims its XFL is “the type of ‘smash mouth’ [sic] football that fans crave... returning football to its tougher roots.” A league spokesman, Jeff Shapes, says: “It’s the type of football played in the National Football League in the ’6os and ’7os. Football fans

though it may be a variant of the name Roger (as in the limerick about the girl from Cape Cod that concludes, “’Twas Roger the Lodger, by God!”). As a norm, “rogue” is synonymous with, and carries the delicious old flavor of, “knave, scoundrel, villain.” As an adjective, it means “mean” or “uncontrollable.” Mary Ellen Countryman, the National Security Council spokeswoman with the most salutatory name in the new administration, told A1 Kamen of The Washington Post that “rogue nation” was “a term that means something to people.” Right. No longer will criminals fear being portrayed in a “states-of-concem’s gallery” nor will vicious beasts driven out of the herd be called “states-of-concem elephants.” Nor, thanks to the recent rollback, will tomorrow’s actors playing Hamlet begin a soliloquy, “0 what a state of concern and peasant slave am I.” William Safire’s column is syndicated by The New York Times News Service.

“The word smashmouth is everywhere,” notes The New York Times education reporter Edward Wyatt, “the XFL, the title of a book about the presidential campaign, even in a certain columnist’s column.” The XFL is a professional football league, co-owned by the World Wrestling Federation and NBC, that makes a fetish out of ferocity, with teams sporting macho and selfmocking names like “the New Jersey Hitmen” and “the Memphis Maniax.” The book is a campaign-trail memoir by Dana Milbank titled “Smashmouth: Two Years in the Gutter With A1 Gore and George W Bush.” The columnist is a right-wing vituperator who usually eschews vogue words, but in this case wrote of“the sort of smashmouth campaign that the Democrats perfected.” The word’s meaning goes beyond “aggressive.” It is a new and especially vivid synonym of“brutal, savage, violent,” stopping just short of “heinous” and “barbaric.” However, in the XFL it has a self-mocking quality, and in politics it does not always carry such an offensive coimotation. “Such nasty, smashmouth politics are said by the goody-goodies to be destroying our democracy,” goes Milbank’s thesis, “alienating the electorate and suppressing voter participation. I believe the opposite is true: that nasty is nice on the campaign trail, that it’s cool to be cruel.” Football metaphors are as mother’s milk to politicians: No etymologist has yet come up with the origin of level playing field, but football’s game plan was adopted by campaign strategists, and both politicians and quarterbacks relish the military metaphor of throwing the bomb.

sively, denies being the originator. The word is a compound adjective, which calls for hyphenation; in current use, however, it is most often treated as one word, as if it were an attributive noun like blood in “blood sport.” It cannot properly be written as two words if used as a modifier. The earliest citation on the databases (can a hacking baseball player slide into a database?) is a September 1984 usage by Jim Wacker, the Texas Christian University football coach, who told David Casstevens ofThe Dallas Morning News that the “physical game” played by his TCU Homed Frogs was “smashmouth football.” Two months later, the columnist George Will praised Wacker for having “the finest sense of nuance in language since Flaubert, or at least since Woody Hayes,” and applied the coinage to politics; “As the clock—the mercifiil clock—mns out in this final quarter of what feels like a 27-quarter presidential game, Messrs. Mondale and Reagan are playing smash-mouth politics. Vigorous, they are.” In 1994, the term was adopted as the name of a rock group, whose members told Wall Street Journal reporter Stefan Fatsis that they liked the way the sportscaster John Madden used it. Above the topically etymological story (everybody wantsa get inna de act), a headline writer reviewed the progress of the locution in one of The Journal’s characteristically chatty subheads: “SmashMouth: Sick of the Term? Sorry, There’s No Stopping It— Blame the XFL If You’d Like, But It’s Old and Seems to Fit the Popular Culture Well.” NBC’s website claims its XFL is “the type of ‘smash mouth’ [sic] football that fans crave... returning football to its tougher roots.” A league spokesman, Jeff Shapes, says: “It’s the type of football played in the National Football League in the ’6os and ’7os. Football fans

breathe and drink smashmouth football.” He adds hastily, “Obviously, it doesn’t mean literally that anyone’s mouth is being smashed.” Welcome back, rogue. On June 19,2000, a date that will five in euphemism, the diplomatic language was deliberately and suddenly attacked by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: She abandoned the tried-and-true Kissingerism “rogue states,” preferring instead to refer to nations like Libya, Iraq and North Korea as “states of concern.” Peppered with questions about this calculated change in nomenclature, a hard-pressed State Department spokesman, Richard Boucher, replied, “We have different policies toward different places because the key issue here is not to categorize.” He was clearly uncomfortable with the linguistic shuffling. “Rogue” is a 16th-centuryEnglish canting word, used by beggars and vagabonds, that is obscure in its origin, though it may be a variant of the name Roger (as in the limerick about the girl from Cape Cod that concludes, “’Twas Roger the Lodger, by God!”). As a noun, “rogue” is synonymous with, and carries the delicious old flavor of, “knave, scoundrel, villain.” As an adjective, it means “mean” or “uncontrollable.” Mary Ellen Countryman, the National Security Council spokeswoman with the most salutatory name in the new administration, told A1 Kamen of The Washington Post that “rogue nation” was “a term that means something to people.” Right. No longer will criminals fear being portrayed in a “states-of-concem’s gallery” nor will vicious beasts driven out of the herd be called “states-of-concem elephants.” Nor, thanks to the recent rollback, will tomorrow’s actors playing Hamlet begin a soliloquy, “0 what a state of concern and peasant slave am I.” William Safire’s column is syndicated by The New York Times News Service.

Krzyzewski, players excited about Boozer’s return By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

Less than three weeks after suffering what some believed would be a season-ending injury, Duke center Carlos Boozer returned to practice yesterday and now expects to don his uniform when Duke takes the court Thursday for its Sweet 16 contest against UCLA. The news was received ecstatically by Boozer’s teammates, Duke coach Mike and Krzyzewski is now planning strategies to re-assimilate the 6-foot-9 sophomore into his team’s rotation

news,” Carlos Boozer “That’s great Krzyzewski said of Boozer’s return. “It really is about the same time frame that[Bobby] Hurley had. That’s why we were so optimistic when it happened, because we thought that, in three weeks, if everything went well, that we might get him back for practice.

“It’s amazing how those bones grow. We’re excited about that.” Despite the menacing presence that Boozer has provided at times over the past two seasons—especially right before he suffered the injury to his third metatarsal in his right leg—many have questioned whether the Blue Devils will be able to maintain the cohesive chemistry that they have displayed in

Boozer’s absence.

The players, though, believe that the Alaska native will not only fit in as he did before his injury, but will also enhance a constantly improving Blue Devil lineup. In addition, they think that with the return of Boozer, Krzyzewski, the consummate tactician, will find new ways to exploit Duke’s opponents. “We have the best guy in the business in Coach,” forward Shane Battier said. “He’s great at finding game plans and incorporating new things, so when Carlos went out, he incorporated a game plan to make us even better. Now that he’s back, Coach will look at that as a creative challenge.” However, Krzyzewski believes that, it will be primarily Boozer’s responsibility to familiarize himself with the

fast-paced style that Duke has employed in the three

weeks since his injury. “What Carlos has to do is readjust to us and we shouldn’t readjust to him,” Krzyzewski said. “In other words, he has to readjust to what we’re doing right now. In Elton [Brand’s] case, Elton was potentially a dominant player, so we did a little bit more adjusting to him.... Our dominant players are Shane and Jason. Carlos will hopefully come in and rebound, play defense and give us a little bit more of a low post presence scoring-wise than we’ve had.” Nonetheless, Krzyzewski has decided that he will continue to start sophomore Casey Sanders at center, as he has done in the past six games. In the meantime, Boozer hopes to return to what he termed“basketball shape” and will attempt to provide an aggressive, solid post presence off the bench. “I just have to throw myself into it,” Boozer said. “I need to adjust to how we’re playing and keep doing the things I was doing successfully earlier in the season. “I’m going to play Thursday.

going to play.”

Craig complements defense with strong offensive presence When they first arrived, all five of them, there were only really two from which anyone expected big things. And from Alana Beard, those things did come. From Iciss Tillis, Duke has seen flashes of big things, despite her current slump. But Rometra Craig? Nah. Mostly an afterthought in the media. Not expected to make the flashy shots that result in flashy headlines. Not when Beard and Tillis were there to highlight Duke’s best-ever recruiting class.

Kevin Lees Game Commentary

said. “I just got out there... and my goal was to attack.” Then things changed. She stole the ball twice and nailed a basket on the fast break, bringing Duke within two, 16-14. Moments later, Craig responded to a Razorback layup with another jumper on the other end of the court, keeping Duke within two at 20-18.With 5:52 remaining in the first stanza, Craig drove inside, stopped, twirled around and evened the game, 20-20, with the layup. All in a night’s work for the freshman. Her 11 points all came in the first half and energized Duke, which trailed by seven early in the game, to the point when the Blue Devils put the game away.

For most ofthe season, she has been primarily a defensive stopper. She has done well in that role. Really well. But in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament, Craig has stepped up offensively as well. “Rometra did an excellent job tonight,” senior Georgia Schweitzer said. “She came ready to play. She’s really gaining confidence.... She just really made the difference out there tonight.” After scoring 20 points Saturday against Milwaukee-Wisconsin, Craig entered the game last night with Duke down 14-8. Her* first shot was an airball with only a few ticks left on the shot clock. At 11:42, she went inside and scored a basket, narrowing Arkansas’ lead to four. On the next two possessions, Craig missed a three-point shot and then turned over the ball. “At first I was a little nervous,” Craig

The stat sheet says that is the story. But it is not. In fact, as important as her offensive impetus was, it was not even the most important part of the story, as Craig herself said. “If I get an open look on offense, I take it. But I let my defense guide my offense,” Craig said. The Razorbacks hit three three-point shots to start the game, a lucky circumstance as it turned out. Craig’s defense, however, limited Arkansas to only four more three-pointers in the game, two of which came in the last 1:05, when Craig was on the bench and Duke’s win was all but final. “Right now, my role is to play defense,” the gutsy freshman said. “When I go out there, that’s all I really focus on. I just let the game come to me. If I have an open shot, I’ll take it.” But what makes Craig’s tenacity so See CRAIG on page 15 �

Women’s tennis defeats Arizona, Stanford over break By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

It was a productive spring break on the West

Coast for the third-ranked women’s tennis team, as it demolished two of the top teams in the Pac-10 conference. In Seattle, the Blue Devils (10-1) trounced No.

“It helped us to beat Arizona,” she said. “When we went to Washington, we knew we respected both of the teams. Definitely our win over Arizona helped us. Certainly, by winning both doubles points, we were on a roll.” Sophomore Hillary Adams, playing at No. 5 singles spot, however, was the only member of the Duke team to have trouble over the trip, dropping a 4-6, 6-2, 1-0 match to the Wildcats’ Perrine Pernin as well as the Huskies’ Erin Boisclair 6-1,

Senior class notches 59th, final home win Craig serves

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL from page 1 “They stepped up their defense a little bit, but we couldn’t execute our offense at all. I think that was obvious,” said Razorbacks point guard Amy Wright, who committed four turnovers but moved into second place on Arkansas’ all-time assist charts. “We couldn’t pass the ball and we couldn’t get the ball into the post. I didn’t think we were so tired, but our confidence was kind of busted and our momentum really wasn’t there.” Early in the contest, the roles were reversed as Duke was the team with scoring difficulties and Arkansas was the one in control. The Razorbacks maintained the lead for the first 14 minutes of the game, holding Duke to only 10points in the opening 11 minutes. In the final home game of her career, senior Georgia Schweitzer started out in a bit of a shooting spell as she took four of Duke’s first five shots. Schweitzer, the program’s all-time winningest player, missed all but one ofthose attempts, and the Razorbacks grabbed an early 11-4 lead. “I was a little surprised with the way we started,” Goestenkors said. “I thought we were in a rush. I felt like we wanted the game to be over with before it even started.” Following the first official timeout, during which Goestenkors implored her squad to calm down, the Blue Devils i>

reasserted themselves behind the transition play of Beard and Craig. Beard led all scorers with 14 points in addition to seven rebounds, six assists and three steals; Craig, meanwhile, played well enough to limit starter Sheana Mosch to only seven minutes of action in the first half.

Duke’s freshman duo opened up the team’s offense by using defensive pressure to create easy opportunities on the other end of the floor. Beard and Craig scored five consecutive times for the Blue Devils and then assisted on their team’s next two baskets. Their spurt enabled Duke to turn a 16-10 deficit into a 36-28 advantage by scoring on 13 out of 14 possessions, with many of those buckets coming from within a few feet of the hoop. “I think most of our points in the paint came not from the post players, but

from our guards,” Goestenkors said of her team’s 44-14 edge in the paint. “We had such a size advantage with our guards that we just started posting our guards up.” Duke’s victory gave the team 30 for the first time in program history, adding one more record to the careers of seniors Schweitzer, Rochelle Parent and Missy West. In the last four seasons, Schweitzer, Parent and West have taken part in 59 victories in Cameron Indoor Stadium. “Thirty wins—that’s a lot of wins,” Schweitzer said. “It’s a great step for our program and hopefully by the time [Beard and Craig] graduate, that will happen on a regular basis.” The Blue Devils now travel across the country to face a Southwest Missouri State squad fresh off a mini-upset of fourth-seeded Rutgers. Goestenkors said she has yet to review any tapes of the Bears, but Duke’s defense will likely focus around premier scorer Jackie Stiles, who scored 32 points last night against Rutgers. Stiles, the alltime scoring leader in women’s college basketball, will likely be matched up against defensive specialist Beard.

special is her response after the game. She let her guard down once after she fell for a fake pass and let one of Arkansas’ guards hit the three. Although it was only one defensive breakdown, Craig felt the miss ruined her night. “I take it personal. I don’t want people scoring on me,” Craig said. “I thought I played a bad defensive game because of that one basket.... I love playing teams like that because it really makes me focus.” Goestenkors, having secured Duke’s first 30-win season last night, has to be more than pleased with Craig’s growth over the season. In fact, with Crystal White also improving steadily throughout the season—last night, she made three baskets after coming into the game with just over 11 minutes remaining—the Duke coach should be thrilled with what she has received from the class. And she is. “We hoped that they could,” Goestenkors said. “But you just never know with freshmen how they come into college. And this was a very unique class. As a group, they are the hardest-working class we’ve ever had.... Their expectations were very high and they learned quickly.”
