Duke conquers Trojans, heads to Final Four By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN
PHILADELPHIA About 10 minutes into the Duke-USC game, one thing was clear: The Trojans clearly did not respect Chris Duhon’s shot. When USC needed to doubleteam Duke’s major offensive threats—Jason Williams and Shane Battier—it was Duhon that they chose to leave open. “We felt that two players could beat you on the team and that was Battier and Williams,” Bibby said. “You’re playing with statis-

PHILADELPHIA— It had all the makings of Philadelphia’s most
cherished sports story. USC, wearing red uniforms with gold trim, strolled into the city of brotherly love like the Italian Stallion against champion Apollo Creed in the fabled Oscar-winning
movie. The Trojan pep band even graced the spectators at the First Union Center with a rendition of the theme song from Rocky. Not too unlike the movie, the heavy favorite won in a closely contested battle. Sparked by the scoring of East Regional Most Valuable Player Jason Williams, the consistent play of senior tri-captain Shane Battier and a couple of crucial shots by freshman Chris Duhon, the Blue Devils outlasted Southern California 79-69. By winning their second regional championship in three years, the Blue Devils advanced to the Final Four in Minneapolis next weekend, where they will compete for the ultimate prize—a national championship. “My goal all year long has been to get back to the Final Four,” Battier said. “Now that we’re going to be at the dance, it’s time to boogie.” But before they reached this dance, the Blue Devils had to overcome a scrappy USC team that relished its underdog status. From the game’s onset, the Trojans competed fiercely on every See MEN’S B-BALL on page 6, SpOftWFap �

tics and so we went with Duhon making a few shots. He only had three or four buckets, that’s not a lot of buckets. He’s a big-time college player, he’s on one of the No. 1 teams in the country, you have to figure he’s going to make a few buckets.” The Trojans gambled, and according to most bookies, they would have won. Duhon was only 4-for-10 from the field with 13 points. It is not like he made the Trojans pay repeatedly for leaving him open behind the arc. If you win 60 percent of your bets in Vegas, you’re doing pretty well. However, when the high stakes See DUHON on page 6,

Bears win in Stiles, leave Blue Devils in tears By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle
SPOKANE, Wash. A team so accustomed to finding a way—any way—this season found y night. Throughout the most successful season in program history, fifth-ranked Duke (30-4) did whatever it took to scrape out nail-biting victories over teams with equal determination, equal enthusiasm and perhaps even equal talent. Seven times this season, the Blue Devils triumphed in the game’s final seconds, winning either in overtime or by five points or less in regulation. When they needed a game-ending stand the most, however, the top-seeded Blue Devils were
unable to stall the relentless attack offifth-seeded Southwest Missouri State (28-5), which ended Duke’s NCAA tournament run with an 81-71 upset in the Sweet 16 Saturday night in Spokane Arena. Jackie Stiles scored 41 points on 15-of-22 shooting as she placed herself second all-time in West Regional single-game scoring. Led by their 5-foot-8 guard, the underdog Bears knocked out a championship contender for the second straight game Saturday, following up their surprise of fourth-seeded Rutgers with the stunner over the Blue Devils. In a matter of one week, SMS went from a one-name program headlined by Stiles to a dangerous foe that no favored team wants to face. “I just want to congratulate [coach] Cheryl Burnett and Southwest Missouri State University. I thought they played a fantastic basketball
game,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We knew they were great coming in and we knew Jackie Stiles was awesome. We had the utmost respect for them coming into the game, and we have even more respect for them now.” Respect has been a frequently used term by both teams in recent weeks, as the Bears felt they deserved to host their first two games as a top-four seed while the Blue Devils insisted they were feared less than the other No. 1 seeds. Before Burnett, who has led the Bears since 1987, even worried about trying to convince the world that her team could topple Duke, she began by trying to convince her own players. “I put one word on the bulletin board before the game, and it was ego,” Burnett said. “Ego means you’re good and you know you’re good, and you’ve got to play like that.” Early in the game, the Bears did not seem to heed their coach’s message, as their walk was not one of champions, but merely challengers. Duke built a 32-20 lead 12 minutes into the game and compelled Burnett to burn her team’s second timeout of the game. But in those precious seconds on the sideline, Burnett pushed the right buttons and the Blue Devils, despite their lead, never again seemed in command. By halftime, their margin was cut in half, 42-36. “I thought we were in pretty good condition at halftime,” point guard Georgia Schweitzer said. “I felt like we weren’t playing that well, but I felt we would play a lot better.” See WOMEN’S B-BALL on page 7, SportSWiap �

Macedonian forces combat rebels President Boris Trajkovski may make legal concessions to ethnic Albanians By CARLOTTAGALL
New York Times News Service
OpenTETOVO, Macedonia ing at dawn with a heavy bombardment, Macedonian forces backed by tanks arid armored personnel carriers moved cautiously up the steep hills above Tetovo Sunday to flush out ethnic Albanian rebels who have laid siege here for 12 days. By nightfall, with explosions, fire and smoke clearly visible from town, the troops had taken several strategic villages without any apparent loss of life, at least among their forces, and they began taking up defensive positions, Macedonian officials said. If the operation continues to go
well today, the officials said privately, President Boris Trajkovski is considering a rapid call for allparty negotiations on chariges to the constitution and other laws to satisfy longstanding Albanian grievances. Trajkovski and the government are under pressure from the West not to use excessive force against the small band of rebels, believed to number fewer than 1,000, and to move quickly to address Albanian concerns with elected Albanian representatives. Fires were burning in the village of Gajre, a focus for Sunday’s operations, and Macedonian officials said they had taken the village,
along with other villages like Lavce, Lisec, Drenova and Selce. But the rebels of the National Liberation Army were fighting back, the officials said, and other key villages, like Sipkovica, and the fortress overlooking Tetovo were said to still be in rebel hands. Two Macedonian soldiers and one police officer were wounded, officials announced, along with four civilians whose car was fired on at a police checkpoint. Some rebels were taken prisoner, the government said. It was not possible to confirm all the government’s claims or to obtain casualty totals for the rebels or for villagers who might have been caught in the fighting.
Britain attempts to curtail epidemic By SUE LEEMAN Associated Press
LONDON —As Britain struggled to keep with the disposal of slaughtered livestock, the army started digging huge pits at an old air base Sunday for the mass burial of up to 500,000 carcasses from the footand-mouth epidemic. Earthmovers scooped out huge trenches at an abandoned airfield at Great Orton in Cumbria county, northwest England, which with more than 190 cases is the region worst hit by the highly infectious disease. Brigadier Alex Birtwistle, who is leading the operation, said the army was licensed to bury up to half a million animals in the mass grave. “We have about 500,000 sheep to take out of farms
live and bring to be slaughtered in the most humane way—it is an apocalyptic task,” Birtwistle said. The government has said Britain will slaughter nearly all livestock on farms adjacent to foot-andmouth infection sites in an effort to contain the disease. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food confirmed 47 new cases ofthe disease Sunday, including more than a dozen in Cumbria, bringing the total to 607. Some scientists believe this could spiral to 4,000 by June. In the Netherlands, government officials confirmed a new case of foot-and-mouth disease Sunday at a farm in the northeastern town of Oene in the province of Gelderland, bringing the number of infected farms in that country to five.

As protesters plan, Duke hosts recruitment event Students’ activism impresses visiting high-schoolers By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle
As controversy continues surrounding The Chronicle’s decision to run an
anti-reparations advertisement, the University this weekend held its annual Black Student Alliance Invitational recruitment weekend. Organizers and prospective students alike say that recent debate has not affected the weekend and if anything, has made the school more attractive. “It’s great the black community is coming together,” said Marquis MartinEaston, a student from Washington state. “I was amazed. For me, it made me want to go to Duke more. There’s a community here that’s together that I
could be a part of.” Martin-Easton and other students reported signing a list of demands delivered to President Nan Keohane and The Chronicle following the paper’s decision to run an ad entitled “Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery are a Bad Idea—and Racist” the previ-

Prospective students at BSAI overwhelmingly oppose The Chronicle’s decision to run the ad. Still, few reported the situation would significantly affect their decision to come to Duke. “It definitely didn’t make it more negative for me. It was good the black community could come together for this,” said Albert Ntici, a student from Long Island. “It didn’t have an effect on whether I want to go here or not.” BSAI plays a large role in the University’s recruitment of black students.

Protests over The Chronicle’s decision to run an advertisement opposing slavery reparations continued over the weekend with a rally and plans for further action today. The University will host a panel discussion tonight addressing the issue. About 75 students attended a demonstration Friday afternoon, following The Chronicle’s rejection of four demands—including a public apology for running the ad. The protesters marched around the main residential and academic quadrangles, chanting and waving signs. With intense anger and volume, the students began shouting ‘We are students, too!

DSG gears up for another ARAMARK resolution By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle
Duke Student Government is gearing up for another round of debate on ARAMARK after last week’s veto of a resolution supporting the company’s proposed
management of four campus eateries. The veto by DSG President Jordan Bazinsky is the first since former president Lino Marrero, Trinity ‘9B, used that power three years ago. Unlike Marrero, Bazinsky based his decision on a desire for more debate
rather than dislike for the legislation. “Typically, vetoes are done strictly on an ideological basis, because a president wants to strike down legislation that he disagrees with for political reasons,” said Bazinsky, a senior. “It was really clear to the people there the other night that we didn’t make a real decision.” The resolution passed the Legislature 24-23, after DSG Executive Vice President Drew Ensign cast the tie-breaking vote. Legislators expressed surprise at Bazinsky’s veto, and DSG Vice Presi-
dent for Community Interaction Sean Young said he was disappointed. “I personally believe that DSG legislators had enough time to educate themselves on the issue and to ask their constituents’ opinions,” said Young, a junior. “A veto should be used when a president disagrees with a resolution.” Bazinsky has charged legislators to talk to constituents and each other in preparation for the next DSG Legislature meeting Wednesday. “I was surprised with the veto, but I ’
agree that there should be a strong mandate for ARAMARK to come,” said junior Jason Freedman, chair of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee. “I will make the effort to make sure that [legislators] are informed enough to vote. I believe it’s always a good process to allow information to be distributed and allow opinions
to be solicited.” Until Wednesday’s meeting, Freedman plans to further encourage debate

Three finalists for city manager speak at public forum By SARAH McGILL The Chronicle
Sitting in a row of three before an audience of leaders from various civic organizations, the final candidates for Durham’s city manager position answered questions Saturday before moving to individual closeddoor interviews with the city council. Development was the hot topic of the morning, but finalists also faced questions on subjects ranging from
nepotism in city government to school overcrowding. The backgrounds of the three finalists—Marcia Conner, William Hargett and John Rowe—vary. Conner is currently an assistant city manager in Austin, Texas and was city manager of Opa Locka, Fla., a Miami suburb. Hargett is a former engineer and city manager of Pompano Beach, Fla. Rowe was city manager of Suffolk, Va., for most of the 1980s, and is currently interim city manager of Clifton Forge, Va. Charles Penny, a graduate of North Carolina Central University, withdrew from consideration Tuesday, citing family concerns. Several audience members said Conner impressed them. “I really liked Ms. Conner,” said Barbara Lau, a research associate at the Center for Documentary Studies who questioned finalists on the role of the arts
"Best Soups and Sandwiches In Durham"
in community development. “I think she’s really had experiences in the trenches.” Milo Pyne, an ecologist and environmental advocate, agreed. “[Conner’s] responses were flexible and communicative in away not exhibited by the other candidates,” he said. “Hargett is good, but he focuses more on the nuts and bolts, and I want someone who understands the emotions behind an issue.” But Kennedy Godette, president of the Durham County Young Democrats, favored Hargett. “He seems to be much more pro-development and seems to have more experience than the others,” Godette said. When the discussion turned to development, Hargett cited his involvement as deputy city manager in St. Petersburg with the downtown Tropicana Dome. “When you go into a project, make sure there is a vision and support by the community,” he said. Rowe spoke on the importance of counseling communities on development projects, and he named his work in discussing the relocation of a chemical plant to neighbors of the future plant. But Conner stated, “It’s not the role of the city manager to push development into a neighborhood. The role of the city manager is to get a win-win situation.” In closing statements, Hargett said he would bring a See MANAGERS on page 7 l i! '

Recent increase in allergy cases sparks debate among scientists By MATT BRUMM The Chronicle
Forty million to 50 million Americans battle allergies as a part of every day life. This number is climbing, and due to inconclusive evidence, experts are still debating why. Some allergists attribute the increase in allergies to more widespread testing and treatment, while others point to weakening immune systems. “[lt’s] not that there are more allergens out there,” said Dr. Stanley Goldstein, chair of New York’s division ofthe American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “The prevalence of allergic disease has increased.” Goldstein points to a concept called the hygiene hypothesis, originally formulated in the late ’Bos. This hypothesis states that the immune system tends to be either allergic or nonallergic. At birth, the body is skewed toward allergic reactions, but exposure to bacteria increases resistance to allergic response. The hygiene hypothesis predicts that as children are increasingly protected from microorganisms by cleaner living conditions, their immune systems remain in the allergic state. “Kids grow up in, so to speak, a sterile environment,” Goldstein said. “They have sterile formula and sterile sand from Toys ’R’ Us. Years ago, they used to be exposed to more bacteria.” Evidence for this hypothesis focuses on the differences in allergies in East and West Germany before reunification. East Germany, a country with less sterile conditions, had a lower incidence of allergies than its western counterpart. After the two countries reunited, the East German allergy rate
ROSS MONJANTE/THECHRONICLE
rose to the West’s level. “From the data I have seen thus far, the hypothesis seems very plausible,” said Dr. Dhaval Patel, associate professor of medicine at Duke’s di-
vision of rheumatology, allergy and clinical immunology. “But it needs more research.” Support for this hypothesis among allergy experts is far from universal. While some allergists are waiting for more evidence before they form an
opinion, others discount the hypothesis’ reliance on measuring factors other than actual infections. “Allergies are not easy to track; it certainly is a disease a lot of people say they have,” said Dr. Larry Williams, Duke associate professor of pediatric allergy and immunology. “There’s not enough evidence to say that it’s time to give our kids all the viral infections there are.” Some advocates of the hygiene theory have blamed the widespread use of antibacterial soaps for creating the sterile environment, but Williams said bacterial exposure is more important in the intestinal tract and the respiratory system. “What’s on the skin seems to me to be pretty secondary,” Williams said. “[Butl there’s no evidence to say that the skin is not important.... It’s quite an effective barrier unless you scrape it.” Consensus about the hygiene hypothesis may not exist, but allergists maintain that public awareness has helped dismiss some common misconceptions and emphasize the importance of treating allergies before serious complications become evident. “Children used to be told that they’d outgrow allergies—this is false,” said Dr. Elaine Gonsior, director of the allergy clinic at Kansas State University. Goldstein stressed that untreated allergies can significantly lower people’s quality of life. “You’re sick more often. You have more respiratory infections,” he said. “People lose part oftheir education and lose income. The other issue is [a] higher chance of developing a more serious problem like asthma.... There is an increase in awareness, but we have a long way to go.”

Meanwhile, e-mails have circulated among members of the Duke community One suggested that people steal issues of The Chronicle from the distribution bins. Pessin said such action is illegal. Another proposed a boycott of The Chronicle. “We realize that the only way to harm this corporation is to greatly diminish their readership, thus affecting the power and reach of the advertisements whose revenue they value so much more than the community that they serve,” reads the e-mail, sent by senior Carliss Chatman. The students also asked that people wear black today as a sign of solidarity and that individual departments stop advertising in the paper. Clack said that although he does not know if the paper made the wrong decision, he will participate in the boycott. “The ad is racist, and I do support what students are saying and doing,” Clack said. “In the best of all worlds, this would lead to a discourse [between] people ofall races. You usually can’t start those conversations with the outlandish rhetoric Horowitz used.”

Rowe, who throughout the session stressed quality oflife as a main concern, said, “You have challenges in the way of environment, growth, education. I can help you. I’ve done those things.” Conner focused on her regional roots. “I’m a Southerner. I’m a Southern girl,” the Columbia, S.C. native said. “I would welcome the opportunity to become city manager of Durham and come back to what I considi»
er home.”
Council members Brenda Burnette and Erick Larson would not disclose their preferences, but Burnette said she was pleased with the proceedings. The city council will go into closed session Tuesday morning to discuss the candidates. Council member Dan Hill expects an open session vote to immediately follow.
Chronicle advertising precedent has also sparked debate, in e-mails and at protest meetings. Many students cited The Chronicle’s refusal to print ads questioning the existence of the Holocaust. In 1991, the paper did run such an ad amidst widespread controversy, but it declined other Holocaust revisionist ads last year and this year. Pessin explained that in each case, the ad was rejected for reasons other than its opinions. In October 1996, The Chronicle made local news when it declined a pro-choice ad submitted by Students for Choice and the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League of North Carolina picturing a coat hanger. The paper asked that another ad with pro-choice rhetoric be altered. “The impetus... stemmed from the newspaper’s desire to encourage such debate to play itself out on the editorial pages of the newspaper, rather than in advertisements,” then-editor Brian Harris wrote in a column. “If we do not take responsibility for what goes in our newspaper, no one will—which could result
in the publishing ofmaterial undeniably offensive to our readers. It’s our job to cut it before you have to see it” This year, The Chronicle has run many ads containing opinions, including a four-part anti-abortion advertising campaign. Pessin denounced Harris’ decision and explained that the paper’s administration changes each year and thus its practices are subject to change. He added that The Chronicle has turned away few, if any, ads each year. “This is part of the successful system of checks and balances of The Chronicle,” Pessin said. “Each year, a new editor is elected. Each year, new staff members come on board and others leave.” He said that for most of the last 10 years, the paper has been firmly committed to free press. Pessin will speak at a panel discussion scheduled for tonight at 5:30 p.m. tonight at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. Several professors and a protesting student will also be on the panel.

The Servant’s Shirt 1998,120 mins. 35mm, Hindi
dir. Mani Kaul THE SERVANT’S SHIRT is not a ‘period’ film but carries the pre-Open Market ambience of India in the 19605. The film evokes the quality of life that India realized in its 50 years of Russian-inspired socialism. From the administrative chief, the Sahib, who lives in a colonial bungalow with his wife, to the alcoholic head clerk Bade Babu, who whiles time away in the office looking for a domestic for the Sahib, to Santu, the junior hero ol the film, and his wife who struggle against a leaking root in the rains, the film builds on a pyramid of gross and subtle examples of hierarchical relationships. The language of hidden manipulations employed by the characters in dealing with officials, or even in personal relationships, is near farcical. In these people, a capacity to tolerate the absurd results in an inertia that hangs in tragi-comic air. Santu’s wife Bahu, seemingly a conventional lower-middle-class housewife, gradually is able to express her inner strength, and, along with the film, emerges from the typical Indian position to become an equal within the relationship. Ironically, the film betrays a strange hope that seems lost today. ROTTERDAM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTVAL

A troubling alcohol policy
After
months of planning and organizing, a committee of students, faculty members and administrators finalized its plan for alcohol policy. And then they held that information for weeks, while students continued to wait—as they have since spring 2000—for a substantive policy or statement ofphilosophy on the matter. Then, when students finally got word of the proposal, it answered none oftheir questions Simply put, the statement and its recommendations seem to be held together by little philosophical vision. In planning situations like these, the philosophy has to be clearly articulated both to policymakers as well as the public. Philosophies should drive policies, and until you know what you believe in and what you stand for, you cannot create good policy Indeed, once the philosophy is set, policy all but creates itself. After a year oftask forces and committees, as many questions remain as when this process began. The entire alcohol culture and policy review process has been plagued by a tendency to create bureaucracy where none is needed and a failure to empower real leaders when there is a dearth of them around. The recommendations on amnesty, which emphasize pushing students who visit the hospital toward education and restitution rather than punishing them, are consistent with current practice and make good sense. A corollary, the issue ofnotifying parents if their children find themselves intoxicated and hospitalized, is a fine one too, but one that the community debated months ago. The handful of policy recommendations that are different from the status quo seem to be incongruent with one another and with other efforts at the University. For example, the committee recommends that deans should have a wide-range ofoptions for punishing alcohol offenders, and that makes sense. But taking away driving and housing privileges, as the report insists should be an option, are options for punishment ofsecondary effects ofalcohol—drunk driving and destroying property—and should not be handed down simply for underage drinking or public intoxication. Furthermore, it seems like driving privileges should only be taken away by the police, and housing should only be stripped if someone violates his housing contract. Restitution and community service, which the committee also recommends, make more sense as ways to deal with drinking and its second-hand consequences. The document also makes some specific recommendations about parties, but the committee should have fleshed them out and crafted them with the social space committee and the residential program review in mind. The document insists that groups hosting parties be held to a high standard, distributing wristband-type identifiers of legal drinkers and identifying obviously intoxicated students at the door. The first recommendation in particular dances around the question of the hour: How will Duke handle the inevitability ofunderage drinking? And if underage students will not be served on West Campus, how will the University react to increased pre-partying and front-loading of hard alcohol? Also, the University will have to determine who will distribute the bracelets and where. The obvious intoxication filter also raises some interesting questions: Who will filter them? What will they do if they find intoxicated people? In short, the report as a whole seems a bit too vague and shirks its responsibility to come out with a significant statement on the matter.

Protesters argue with emotion, fail to offer reasoning On Thursday morning,
over 100 angry protesters marched around West Campus in a chain ofbodies, blocking students on their way to class from passing through. The protesters demanded an apology from The Chronicle for printing
David Horowitz’s anti-reparations for slavery ad. The protesters offered no rational, factual arguments against Horowitz. The flyer they passed out accused Horowitz of making claims that were not factual, and then provided no examples of false claims that he made. The flyer accused Horowitz
of “attack [ing] who African
Americans are by birth, not any specific ideologies or choices,” even though the ad does nothing of the sort. The letters to the editor opposing
the ad have contained arbitrary accusations of falsity and deliberate misstatements of Horowitz’s position. The protest was clearly not about rational debate on the reparations issue, but about airing unjustified feelings. Why was the ad outrageous, why was it disgusting and why should people be offended? No answer has been given. The message ofthe protesters was clear—it is not neces-
sary torefute Horowitz’s arguments or attempt to defend for slavery. reparations Instead, it is only necessary to take offense to his arguments. Once one feels offended, he has sufficiently answered Horowitz and justified banning him from the pages of The Chronicle. But a feeling is not an argument, and the protesters’ offense at Horowitz’s ad does not change the validity of anything he wrote.

Schweitzer bows out
Despite an illustrious career, the senior guard could not get on track against the Bears By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle
In their previous three losses this season, there were often tears shed on the Blue Devils’ sideline and in their locker room, particularly by a talented but still-maturing group of talented underclassmen. But never by senior Georgia Schweitzer. For four years at Duke, Schweitzer was not only one of the greatest ever to wear a Blue Devils’ uniform, she was the epitome of the stoic confidence, the proud silence that the uniform stood for. She played through countless injuries, never sitting out a game and rarely even letting anyone know she was less than 100 percent. Duke coach Gail Goestenkors frequently joked that Schweitzer could run the team herself, and when the Blue Devils needed calming reassurance on the floor, they always turned their gaze toward Schweitzer. Poise and composure, more than her record-breaking statistics, were what defined the first 3,942 minutes of her Duke career. But it was one of the most heart-wrenching, cascading streams of tears that marked its final minute. When Goestenkors removed her right before the conclusion of Duke’s 81-71 loss to Southwest Missouri State Saturday night, Schweitzer let her emotions go. “I love Georgia and she’s had a great career,” said Goestenkors, whose shoulders were soaked in her star’s drops of sorrow during a memorable embrace that closed the book on the career of the woman who elevated her pro-
gram to unprecedented heights. “She deserved to go to the Final Four, and I wanted to go there for her and the seniors.” Unfortunately for Schweitzer, her fairy-tale rise from first-year role player to superstar had no story-book ending. In her final game for Duke, the point guard committed a season-high eight turnovers as her team’s normally fluid transition offense never found a rhythm. “I think the worst part of this is I don’t feel like I went out the best that I could,” Schweitzer said. “Everything was going wrong. That’s the hardest part.” Although Schweitzer’s career concluded with a performance that included as many turnovers and missed shots as points and assists, her place in Duke’s history was securely anchored long ago. There will be no return trip to the Final Four for Schweitzer, but she will spend next weekend in St. Louis, Mo. nonetheless for an annual all-star game. Beyond that, her plans will be dictated by whether she chooses professional basketball or medical school. For now, however, her first order of business is to erase what was one of the very rare blemishes in an otherwise-pristine career. “[Seeing her cry] was hard because you tend to remember your last game the most, especially when you don’t play your best,” said Goestenkors, who had to fight back her own tears while talking about her favorite player. “I don’t want Georgia to worry or think about this night.” 36 42

Krzyzewski proud to have 2 ACC teams in Final 4 By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle
PHILADELPHIA For the second time in conference history, two ACC schools will meet in the national semifinals for a chance to play for a national championship two days later. And its only fitting that Duke and Maryland, two squads that have played such high-quality games this season that two have become “Instant Classics” on the ESPN Classic network, will battle for this rare and coveted opportunity. It has been 20 years since Virginia and North Carolina met in the Final Four. Although Duke and Maryland are bucking historical trends, they are certainly not surprised that they will meet for a fourth time. “I’m happy for Gary Williams and his program,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said after Duke’s hardfought victory over USC Saturday. “Our game in Atlanta in the [ACC] Tournament semifinals was truly a remarkable game. The camaraderie was amazing, and some of the kids even said to each other, ‘We’ll see you at the Final Four.’ We are happy to have two teams from our conference in the Final Four—that’s terrific.” The last time the ACC had two ofits teams qualify for college basketball’s most visible stage was 1991, when Duke and North Carolina both won their respective regions. The difference between that year and the present, though, was that the two ACC qualifiers did not meet in their semifinal matchups, meaning they would only play each other if they both reached the national championship game. Had North Carolina coach Dean Smith and his Tar Heels defeated Smith protege
Roy Williams’ Kansas in the national semifinals, then this colossal clash of college basketball’s most bitter rivals would have occurred, marking the fourth time the two teams would have encountered during the season. Duke and North Carolina have never renewed their rivalry within the NCAA

Terrapins advance to first Final Four in program history By JOHN NADEL Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. There are no AllStanford 73 Americans on this Maryland team. It doesn’t need any. Six weeks after their season seemed to be coming apart, the Terrapins used their speed and depth to upset top-seeded Stanford 87-73 Saturday and reach the Final Four for the first time. “We’re justreally proud of ourselves,” said Lonny Baxter, who led Maryland with, 24 points in the West Regional final. “I was really desperate to make it to the Final Four, get coach there for the first time.” Coach Gary Williams made it in his 23rd year as a major college coach, the last 12 with Maryland. He didn’t allow himself to celebrate on the sideline until Drew Nicholas dribbled out the final seconds before heaving the ball high into the air. “I knew we’d come out and play well. Whether that would be enough against a team like Stanford, I didn't know,” Williams said. “The big thing is, we made our shots.”' The Terrapins hit over 58 percent from the field, including 9-of-13 from 3MjrvUm

point range.
Baxter, a 6-foot-8, 260-pound junior, had his way inside against the taller Cardinal players and went 11-of-18 to
win the region’s MVP award. Juan Dixon added 17 points on 7-of-10 shoot- ; ing, inclhdiflg 2-oF3 fr6m'3-pbiht range. Over the years, the Terps have had their All-Americans, like Len Elmore, Lien Bias, John Lucas, Steve Francis, Joe Smith and Buck Williams. None of them took the team this far.
These Terrapins lack such a star, but they are still playing. The third-seeded Terps, 10-1 since losing at home to lowly Florida State on Feb. 14 for their fifth loss in six games, are headed to Minneapolis, where they will face East Regional champion Duke in the NCAA tournament semifinals next Saturday.
Top-ranked Duke, which beat ACC rival Maryland in two of their three meetings this season, advanced with a 79-69 victory over Southern California Saturday in Philadelphia. Maryland’s slump began Jan. 27 when it blew a 10-point lead over Duke in the final 54 seconds of regulation and lost in overtime.

They’ve put the distractions behind and lived up to 81 their preseason No. 1 status for Illinois months. Now Arizona is headed to the Final Four. Gilbert Arenas scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half, and the Wildcats gave Illinois as much of a pounding as they took, carrying Arizona and coach Lute Olson into the Final Four with an 87-81 victory in the Midwest Regional final Sunday. The Wildcats, 19-2 since beginning,the season 8-5, earned a trip to Minneapolis for a national semifinal game against defending champion Michigan State on Saturday.

which saw Stanford and Southern California get bumped in regional finals Saturday. The Wildcats are the conference’s first team to make the Final Four since 1997, when they won the national title. Back in October, the Wildcats were talking about not just winning the title, but being among the best teams of all-time. Then came the trouble: center Loren Woods suspended for six games to start the season; a one-game suspension for Richard Jefferson; the death of Olson's wife, Bobbi, beloved by generations of Wildcat players. Another problem was selfishness among a starting lineup that featured five candidates for player of the year honors. This game showed how far they've come. With Illinois (27-8) concentrating on stopping kept Woods and Michael Wright inside, the the ball outside. On defense, Arizona shed its “soft label and played as aggressively inside as any team the Illini saw in the Big Ten. But Illinois’ hard work in the paint paid off, and

LAUREN WOODS (FOREGROUND) had a lot to celebrate after his Arizona Wildcats qualified for their first Final Four since 1997. midway through the second half, a layup by Robert Archibald, who had a career-high 25 points, put the Illini up 56-54, their biggest lead of the game. It didn’t last for long, though. Archibald fouled Luke Walton on the other end and his two free throws tied the game. After Marcus Griffin missed the front end of a oneand-one, Woods put Arizona ahead for good, 58-56, with his first basket, a meek 2-footer that bounced several times on the rim before falling through. The Wildcats kept rolling for a 10-0 run that stretched the lead to 64-56. Griffin and Brian Cook fouled out for the Illini in that span, which Jason Gardner capped with an NBA 3-pointer and a pair of free throws.
Michigan State is 69 ATLANTA Mkh. St. going back to the Final Four, while Temple 62 John Chaney was denied again. The defending national champion Spartans became just the ninth school to reach three straight Final Fours, beating Chaney’s unheralded Temple team 69-62 Sunday to win the NCAA South Regional. David Thomas scored 19 points and Michigan State held off repeated runs by the llth-seeded Owls to earn a meeting in Minneapolis with either Illinois or Arizona. The 69-year-old Chaney was coaching in a regional final for the fifth time, but he has never taken a team to the Final Four. The Owls (24-13) were never expected to get this far, beating three higherseeded teams before their amazing run ended. After tracking a last-ditch, but meaningless, shot all the way to the rim, Chaney patted Michigan State coach Tom Izzo on the shoulder and walked offthe floor alone. It always takes a powerhouse to keep Chaney out ofthe Final Four. In his five regional finals, the Owls have lost to a No. 2 seed and four No. Is, in-
cluding the Spartans (28-4). Michigan State’s streak of nine straight doublefigure victories in the NCAA tournament ended, but the Spartans accomplished a goal that seemed improbable after losing stars Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson from its title team.

Role players lead second MEN’S B-BALL from page 1, The Chronicle possession, and as the contest wound down, USC was in striking distance of the top-seeded Blue Devils. In fact, USC never faced a deficit larger than 12 points during the game and its balanced frontline of David Bluthenthal, Sam Clancy and Brian Scalabrine all registered double-digit scoring totals. Southern California’s only major mistake, however, was that its gameplan focused too much attention to Duke’s primary weapons, Battier and Williams. The Trojans’ defensive pressure succeeded in forcing Williams to miss nine consecutive shots at one juncture and allowed Battier to hit only l-of-8 second-half shots, but this overplay left open Duhon and Mike Dunleavy. In particular, Duhon was instrumental in securing the Blue Devils’ victory, as he connected on two vital three-pointers in the game’s last five-and-ahalf minutes. Both of his treys pushed the Duke lead back to 11 points, stopping any chance at a USC run dead in its tracks. In addition to the clutch shooting of their somewhat-unexpect-
Ed hero, the Blue Devils also helped their cause by doing things that have been uncharacteristic of the team throughout the season. More specifically,
Duke’s free-throw shooting, which had served as its Achilles’ heel in its losses, was splepdid throughout the evening, as the Blue Devils hit 14-of-15 shots from the charity stripe, including its last seven in crunch time.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski believed that this marked improvement, along with his squad’s stellar defense, proved to be the difference in the game’s outcome. “Free throw shooting turned out to be an asset tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “To win championships, you have to hit free throws and play defense. We did both.” While Duke was uncharacteristically impressive in some areas throughout the second half, its first-half performance was highlighted by the solid play of two Blue Devils who always seem to be
around—Battier and Williams. The sophomore point guard continued his torrid shooting of two nights earlier against another team from the City of Angels,

UCLA, as he sank five shots in the contest’s first eight minutes to give Duke an early cushion of 22-16. When the New Jersey native cooled off, Battier picked up his game, allowing Duke to enter halftime with a 45-38 lead. Battier chipped in with 15 first-half points, showing a comfort level shooting with his back to the basket rarely exhibited by the threepoint-shooting power forward. USC coach Henry Bibby felt that Battier’s offensive contribution, in addition to the intangibles that he provides, have been important factors in Duke’s success throughout the season. “I still think Battier is the key to the team,” Bibby said. “He gets in everybody’s face, he makes the big bucket when [he has] to, he gets the big rebound when he has to. He tells people where to go and what to do. He’s the key player on the team in my estimation.” While Battier and the Blue Devils will certainly savor their regional triumph, they do not have long to rejoice. Duke returns to action Saturday evening against ACC foe Maryland in the national semifinals in Minneapolis.

� WOMEN’S B-BALL from page 1, The Chronicle That would not have been surprising, as Duke has often played its best basketball in the second half of games this season. A second-half turnaround was not in the cards for Duke, however, as the team began the half with an uninspired stretch that set the tone for the remainder of the game. The Blue Devils committed six turnovers on their first 11 possessions of the half, going one-shot-and-out four different times and tallying only two points during that sixminute span. Surprisingly, Schweitzer was the most culpable of all the Blue Devils.
After leading the ACC in assist-to-turnover ratio during the regular season, Duke’s AllAmerican committed a game-high eight turnovers to only five assists. Her difficulties were compounded by the foul trouble of freshman Alana Beard and senior Rochelle Parent, not to mention the scoring struggles of guard Sheana Mosch. Although the Blue Devils received an unexpected 14 points from reserve Iciss Tillis, only Beard and her 27 points were able to provide any sort of consistency to Duke’s offense. Yet when the Blue Devils held a onepoint advantage .with six minutes remaining, even their national freshman of the year faltered. Duke scored only one field goal in those final six minutes, and the 10point victory touched off a tremendous celebration by the Bears, who were one of four teams to upend a No. 1 or No. 2 seed on a Saturday filled with upsets. “I told our players even while they were still celebrating on the court, ‘This is a great victory for us. Knocking off the No. 1 seed is a great accomplishment for us,”’ Burnett said. “We wanted to feel great about the victory, but we’re still on a mission. I told them, ‘Don’t use another ounce of energy celebrating because this is just one game of two, for right now.’” SMS will play as the favorite tonight for the first time since the tournament’s opening round. The Bears will host sixth-seeded Washington, which eliminated second-seeded Oklahoma Saturday in the evening’s second game, for a right to represent the West Region in the Final Four.

The men’s team faired better than the women’s, as six men placed first or second in their events. Most impressive was senior pole vaulter Seth Benson, whose vault of 16-5.5—the second-highest of his outdoor career—gave him first place by a healthy margin.

The men’s golf team traveled to Statesboro, Ga. this weekend for the Schenkel Invitational, where they finished ninth, 26 strokes behind tournament winner Georgia. Georgia’s Nick Cassini captured individual honors with a score of 210, 6-under-par. The Blue Devils were in sixth place after two rounds but struggled in the final round and dropped three spots. “We didn’t play very well,” coach Rod Myers said. “We got some good play out of everybody at some point in the tournament, but we need to be more consistent.” Duke was led by junior Matt Krauss, who shotrounds of 75-70-73 to finish at 2-over and tied for 20th individually. Krauss has yet to regain his form from a season ago when he finished in the top-10 in four out offive tournaments. “[Krauss] is not quite there yet, but he’s close,” Myers said. “He started out great this week with lots of birdies, but too many bogeys at the end of his
vaulter,” men’s coach Norm Ogilvie said.
“That would be one of [Benson’s] goals.” Ogilvie’s distance runners also met success at the meet. In the 3,000-meter run, Sean Kelly’s time of 8:33.73 and Brendan Fitzgibbon’s mark of 8:33.81 earned them first and second places, respectively. The two Blue Devils blew away the rest of the field, beating their competition by over 14 seconds. Further adding to the team’s accomplishments were senior Terry Brennan and juniorBill Spierdowis. The duo took the top two spots in the 1,500-meter run, finishing less than a second apart. Jim Martin took second place in the 2,000meter steeplechase, finishing five seconds ahead of his teammate, Chris Graber, who placed third. “We were pretty happy with the way people competed...” Ogilvie said. “We were very happy with our key people.” The women were slightly less successful on individual levelsin comparison to the men, as only three female Blue Devils managed to place second or better. Equaling her men’s team counterpart, senior pole vaulter and All-American Jillian Schwartz also took first in her competition. Her vault of 12-9.5 made her the only Duke woman to win her event. In the 400-meter dash, sophomore Janay McKie managed to squeak out a second place finish; her time of 57.02 was less than half of a second behind of St. Augustine’s Shakirah Rutherford. “For Janay, that was a big step up,”

It was very windy in the last 100 meters, and she’s not a big woman, so it was toughfor her to come home in that sort of wind. She really indicated that she is really ready to run well outdoors, so that was exciting.” Also placing second was Kim Hanauer in the shotput. The junior continued to build on her tremendous indoor season, throwing 40-9.75 Saturday.
“In the shot, [Hanauer] has singlehandedly rewritten the [Duke] record books indoors and outdoors,” Ogilvie said. “She has worked very hard, and now she is reaping the benefits.” Most of the Blue Devils will stay local again next week, competing in the Raleigh Relays at N.C.

Men’s tennis dominates 2 weekend conference matches By ADRIENNE MERCER The Chronicle
RAMSEY SMITH won both of his singles matches this weekend while contributing to doubles as well.
The No. 3 men’s tennis team swept two matches in as many days this weekend. The wins against No. 23 Georgia Tech Saturday and No. 47 Clemson yesterday mark the 35th and 36th consecutive ACC regular season match wins for the Blue Devils. Duke (11-3, 3-0 in the ACC), easily put away the Yellow Jackets (12-4, 2-1) by a score of 7-0, as Duke swept all six singles matches and gained the doubles point by winning two of the three matches over Tech. The same was true for Clemson (3-14, 0-3) as Duke won 7-0 as well. Showing a divergence from the usual singles lineup in these two contests, Duke sophomore Yorke Allen was back at his usual No. 6 against Tech, having played at No. 3 the match before. This tactic worked well for Duke because Allen easily defeated Yellow Jacket Joao Menano in two sets, 6-1, 6-3. Michael Yani, another sophomore who usually plays only doubles, played at No. 6 singles versus Clemson yesterday and defeated Kevin Gottfried 2-6, 6-3, 6-1. “We’re trying to give everyone a chance to play and we’re kind of mixing it up a little bit,” Duke coach Jay Lapidus said. “We have so many guys on our team
that are at a similar level, it’s important for them from a motivational standpoint and for the team to feel that the guys are all getting shots to play in both singles and doubles. We’re trying to do the best job we can to give everyone that opportunity.” Against Tech in ’singles competition, at No. 1 freshman Phillip King defeated Roger Anderson 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. Duke seniors Smith, who is ranked seventh in the nation, 14th-ranked Cerenko and 28th-ranked Pedroso all took singles wins over the Yellow Jackets at Nos. 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Smith won over Remain Coirault 6-2, 6-3, Cerenko over David Wright 6-2, 6-2 and Pedroso took the win over Stephen Moros 7-5, 6-1. The doubles lineup was also changed a little against both the Yellow Jackets and at Clemson. Yani and Pedroso were paired up at No 2. The tandem fell to Coirault/Menano by a score of 8-6. But they won yesterday over Clemson pair Colhoun/Walker 8-1. “We’re maximizing our abilities in doubles, we just want to try to freshen up the doubles a little bit and see how it looks,” Lapidus said. “We ex-

Fencers compete at national meet By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle
Duke fencers Ben Cohen and Andrew Mahen finished 12th and 14th respectively out of 24 saber finalists at the NCAA fencing championships. Cohen, a first-time varsity fencer, earned AllAmerica honors—he is the first Duke fencer since Jeremy Kahn in 1997 to receive this accolade. Although Cohen’s initial goal this season was qualifying for the national championship, the sophomore’s expectations grew as his season progressed. “My goal for the season was to make the NCAA’s,” he said. “And then when I got there I thought I could be an All-American.” Cohen’s success didn’t faze Mahen, a three-time NCAA finalist in his own right. “It’s not a surprise at all,” Mahen said. “He fenced very well. He goes out there and he shocks people because the don’t expect him to see him fence so well.” Although his 14th-place finish surpassed his two previous performances, Mahen was disappointed that he failed to gamer All America honors. “I think I should have done better, but [my performance] wasn’t terrible like last year’s,” he said.” Unlike the regular season, during which only team competitions take place, the NCAAs are strictly an individual tournament, in which the country’s top 24 fencers in each of fencing’s three weapons—foil, epee and saber—square off against each other in two days of round-robin competition. This year, the national championships were held at the the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha, Wis. Because of the unique format, competing in the NCAA’s requires a significant adjustment, Mahen said. “There’s a different type of pressure,” he said. “It’s a big step for me, but for Ben it appeared to be easier, because he fenced better individually.” Cohen attributed his success to a lack of distractions and the presence of his veteran teammate. “I always try as hard as I can to win,” he said. “In team meets you’re always supporting the team, but during the individual competition you’re out on your own. “It helped that Andy and I were together the whole time and supporting each other. It was really good to have him around me.”

FRESHMAN MEGHAN MILLER brings the ball upfield. Good ball control was key for both Blue Devil victories this weekend.
8 After falling short to Princeton last Wednesday by a score
~~7 of 10-7, the Duke women’s G’tosvn lacrosse team cranked out two wins this past weekend in what proved to be a successful trip Washington, D.C. Though the team cruised fairly easily to a 105 win against John Hopkins yesterday, their matchup against Georgetown proved to be a bit more challenging. Lead by sophomore attacker Lauren Gallagher, the Blue Devils were engaged in a back and forth battle, sealing their 8-7 victory with a goal near the end of the game. Duke midfielder Kate Soulier opened goal scoring for Duke at the 6:30 mark in the game. The Hoyas quickly responded with two goals, but Soulier struck again at the 18minute mark to tie the game. With a goal four minutes later, senior Courtney Rodgers reclaimed the lead for the Blue Devils, 3-2. The game became a defensive battle at that point, with both goalies making key save after key save. Georgetown’s Anouk Peters slipped a ball past Duke goalkeeper Kristen Foster with only one minute remaining in the half to tie the score at a score of 3-3. Gallagher netted the first goal in her hat tripk in the opening minutes of the second half, giving Duke a narrow lead once again. After Cheryl Horton added another goal to the Duke lead, the Hoyas charged right back with a two-goal streak to tie the game 5-5. Duke and Georgetown traded goals yet again in the 20th minute as Gallagher and 'Anouk tallied their second goals ofthe contest. The contest remained in question through-
out the remaining 10 minutes, but the Blue Devils finally pulled ahead for good when Gallagher scored her third goal and Kelly Dirks registered her second goal of the day in quick succession with about eight minutes left in the game. Although Melissa Ellers added one last strike for the Hoyas with 30 seconds remaining, the Blue Devils came out on top by a score of 8-7, breaking Georgetown’s 13 match ,
home winning streak. The Duke women were back in action again yesterday as eight different attackers contributed goals to the defeat of No. 17 Johns Hopkins. Although the game remained tied at 1-1 in first 10 minutes, Gallagher, Claire Finn, Meg Barnet and Kate Kaiser scored, bringing the Blue Devils to a commanding 5-1 lead. Hopkins attacker Marlena Wittelsberger trimmed the Duke lead 5-2 at the 5:41 mark, but Duke would record two more goals, one each from Lauren Kickham and Dirks before the half. Soulier claimed her second free position goal of the game to begin the second half, augmenting the Duke lead 8-2. Duke’s Jessica Bennett and Kaiser would add two more goals before the Blue Jays attempted a final comeback. Though Heidi Pearce netted
two back-to-back breakaway goals for Hopkins, her rally was not enough to conquer the five-
goal deficit. Kristen Foster’s 19 saves, as well as a tenacious Duke defense, discouraged the final scoring attempts for Hopkins. The team is back in action tomorrow night when it takes on the Davidson Wildcats at Koskinen Stadium.

His approach from 155 yards didn’t go an inch past that, stopping 6 feet left of the hole for birdie. Kelly came up short of the ridge and had to make a par putt from equal distance. Half of his two-stroke lead was gone after one hole. Next up was the 532-yard second hole, where Kelly appeared to get the advantage when his snap hook went through the rough and on top of the pine straw, enabling him to hit a clear 3-wood to about 25 feet for a clutch eagle putt.

Duke students who are angry about the reparations ad should target their frustrations at David Horowitz who might be personally offended by the a campus newspaper editor a victory, servative institution—far from it.

the protesting students. But still, after everything, I am utterly convinced that if I were the editor of The Chronicle, I would run that ad, and gladly. I would run it because of my obligation to provide a forum for opinions and discourse from even the most extreme ends of the political spectrum. More than that, though, I would run it in order to inspire discourse, to spur Duke students to stand up and speak out. The energy and political liveliness that has seized our campus in the past week is exhilarating and has the potential to be very productive for our growth and progress as a community. This is what journalism, at its best, is all about; providing a forum for an informed and diverse public discourse on issues that affect all of us. I would print that ad so that Duke could respond, and in responding probe its own race relations and affirm its dedication to fighting racism. What I would never anticipate, however, is that no one would raise a voice against David Horowitz himself. Although much has been made of the opportunity for rebuttal, I have not heard anyone rebutting the points made in the actual ad. Instead, students are focusing their rage on The Chronicle. How on earth did campus journalists become demonized, while the mind that produced this drivel is left to his own smug devices? A little research on David Horowitz will quickly reveal that reparations for slavery are not his primary concern in
and intelligence I respect. Those who know me generally find my left-wing credentials strong, and I am surprised to find myself obligated to take issue with any form of anti-conservative political activity on campus. I am trying to understand the outrage being directed at The Chronicle, but this has gone beyond my ability to sympathize. When I first read Horowitz’s ad, the day it ran in The Chronicle, I thought it was bizarre and racist, but also laughable. I freely admit that I did not take it seriously. I was surprised when I read about the protests at Brown, and dismayed by the students’ attempts to cripple their campus newspaper. I never thought it would happen here. But then the campus exploded. Students are outraged, shouting, crying, giving their days and nights to try to hammer their message home to the Duke community. So I went back and reread the ad, five times in all; I spoke to protesters and other students; I read The Chronicle articles, the protesters’ demands, articles from Harvard, Brown, the University of printing this ad. Horowitz’s real crusade Chicago, and, most importantly (I think), is against what he perceives as the stiHorowitz’s website.

This is not about The Chronicle being a racist or conduct Dußuisson is a Trinity senior.
DODGER theater presents: Inside the reparations ruckus Monday, Monday THE ARTFUL DODGER We set our scene in the bedroom ofDavid Horowitz. His wife, Lucille, has just learned that her husband spent $793.80 each on 50 ads in college newspapers across the country. Lucille scored only 400 on the Math SAT, but with the aid of a calculator, she learns that this amounts to $39,690.00 She is irate. Lucille (taking offher garter belts and changing into an old T-shirt): No lovin’ for you tonight, retard. You just blew almost 40 grand placing stupid ads in college newspapers! We could have bought a new BMW! Are you crazy? Horowitz (changes the television set to the Playboy Channel): Well, I really don’t believe all of that stuff. Some of it is just bizarre. But what matters is that there is a case to be made against these reparations, and I wanted to show that liberals have such a choke-hold on the intellectual throat of academia that they would foresake liberalism itself, namely the freedom of the press, in dealing with this issue. I think that the fact that students at Duke threatened to steal newspapers and demanded oversight ofThe Chronicle shows that nicely. Lucille (putting garter belts back on): Oh David! Your book is gonna sell like hotcakes! You aren’t a true intellectual, but a pot-stirrer! Stir my pot you big stud!
Horowitz: HI pay you some reparations, bi-atch. We move now to the bedroom of Berin Szoka, on the day of the alumni lounge protest. He is sleeping in his bed, beneath a blanket with “Reagan ’O4” knitted into the fabric. There is someone sleeping in a bed next to Szoka. Above his headboard is an honorary membership to the John Birch society, and as he wakes, crumpled copies of the National Review fall from the bed. The bed is on the
right side of the room, and as the light pours onto the stage, it becomes clear that Szoka is sleeping next to Duke’s only other arch conservative, Alex Epstein. Epstein: Dammit. I slept through my 8 a.m. meeting for Students Against California Redwoods. That means I will be late for the organizational board meeting of Students Against Public Education. This really throws off my schedule. I hope that I can make it to the awards luncheon of Duke Margaret Thatcher Club at 1:30. Szoka: You were fantastic last night... in your speech. Epstein: You were downright Ayn Randy. A loud beeping noise pierces, and Pat Buchanan comes onto Szoka and Epstein’s television screen. Buchanan: Boys! Wake up! Students are protesting in the Alumni Lounge. If someone doesn’t go up there and really piss them off they might ask serious questions. Like, why are there segregated benches outside of the Cl? Why is Central Campus predominately black? Why do whites never join black fraternities, and why do blacks join white fraternities only at the risk ofbeing ostracized from their community at Duke? They might even wonder why it is that both groups are seemingly happy with this segregation. If they staid to really consider these questions, they could (he gasps) effect social change! Szoka: Pat, what can we do? Buchanan: Fve already used contacts inside the movement to put the blame on Greg Pessin and The Chronicle. Operatives found burnt out members of the administrations who missed the protests of the ’6os, and we have them betraying their roles as administrators, and even making demands! They are attacking the freedom of the press, and even marched into The Chronicle’s offices! Epstein: Good work Pat. I have a meeting of The Trickle Down Economists Club tonight, but Berin and Bill English will be sure to be at the meeting. By defending the wacky views of Horowitz, they can polarize and poison the dialogue, and see that nothing gets done! Buchanan: I am proud of you. Good luck gentlemen!
We are now in the Alumni Lounge, during the thick of the protest. Idealistic students, hurt by the words of Horowitz and The Chronicle’s publishing of them, are sitting about the room. They pass around a magic eight ball, and the person who is holding it at any point in time has the right to speak. Denis Antoine, the president of the Black Student Alliance, is here. So are four members of a top white fraternity, wearing white hats and khakis. Szoka has been holding the eight ball for an hour, backing Horowitz. The fraternity members approach Antoine. Fratter One; Hey, we heard you guys had an eight ball and were passing it around up here. Fratter Two: We heard you guys scored an eight ball. Fratter Three; Yeah, heard about an eight ball. Fratter Four; Eight ball! Antoine: You seem to be out of brain cells. Actually, Szoka seems to be really out ofbrain cells, but you four are on your way. Antoine’s cell phone rings. It is A1 Sharpton. Sharpton: Denis, I just want to give you my support. It is only through broad action like this that we can fight racism, and get the gains that black Americans deserve. Antoine: Thank you. I feel passionately about this issue. By printing that ad with its inaccuracies, The Chronicle in effect endorsed the radical view of David Horowitz. We need a real dialogue, and we need action. Good luck with the fight for reparations. If we do get them, a broad base of the black community should have a say in how they are distributed and used. Sharpton: Actually, the funds will probably go to preexisting organizations, and the average African American will have little say in how they are used. It will be nothing like the redress to the Japanese who were interned, and got checks for actual sums ofmoney from the government. Antoine: I don’t think most people were aware of that.
THE ARTFUL DODGER is a student, too. And you just
heard him.

Commons room policy makes drinking unsafe Whether intentional or not, I would like to point out the interconnection of the two stories on drunk driving and the challenging of commons room poliprinted in The cy Chronicle on March 20. The article “Commons Room Policy Challenged” outlined suggestions to end parties and/or get rid of disc jockeys in commons rooms. If this school is trying to find yet another way to make the alcohol situation here more dangerous, this is an excellent idea. Commons room parties
school. A party in a living group section at Duke without a DJ inevitably would result in a higher level of binge drinking as students would have little to do but drink. Also, since an on campus party without a DJ would be about as exciting as the Women’s National Basketball Association, even more parties will be moved off-
campus, resulting in a larger chance of drunk driving accidents. Maybe the administration hasn’t realized it yet, but the Duke social scene does not depend on what the surrounding community has to offer. The Duke social scene relies on stu-
dents turning what could be an incredibly boring situation into a good time. With each new policy that is enacted to supposedly protect the well being of the students, not only is a little bit more of Duke’s tradition chocked away, but a more dangerous situation is created. I challenge the administration to take a stand for the well-being of students and not force living groups to take parties off campus. Not changing the current policy on commons room space and DJs would be a step in that direction.

through advertisements, flyers and a student forum Tuesday night. Specifically, Freedman said he wants to gather input, clarify that Trinity Cafe will continue to be student-run and reiterate that Dining Services will have the final say in all decisions. By resubmitting the resolution to the legislature, Freedman will avoid the two-thirds majority required to override a presidential veto and instead will need just a simple majority to pass the measure. Bazinsky added that as long as the resolution is altered, he would not view Freedman as undermining his veto. Several legislators suggested last week that a student referendum would provide a better measure for deciding whether to allow ARAMARK on campus. But Bazinsky, Freedman and others suggested that the amount of time invested in the issue by DSG could not be duplicated by the student body. “I think there’s been a lot of debate, and a lot of people have come to talk in open forum,” Bazinsky said. “I think the next week will really serve as an opportunity to have more discussion and thought about the issues here.”
Happy 19th birthday, Dean! Only two more years to g0...
mation sessions. This year, about 125 of 410 invited students—most of whom are likely to gain admission—attended the weekend. Admissions Officer David Forde said he expects about 40 to 50 percent of visiting students to attend Duke. “This is one of our major recruitment tools, and I’m looking at it from the positive side,” said Forde, who supervises black student recruitment for Duke. “I think this will encourage more students to look at Duke and see that students are... very much into activism here.” At the initial 21-hour protest last Wednesday, students briefly discussed the possibility of boycotting BSAI weekend in order to hinder the University’s recruitment efforts, but most decided against such action. Instead, at the BSAI information session last Thursday, they informed prospec-
tive students about the ad and subsequent protests. “[Prospective students] have had some questions, but not as many as I thought,” said Julia Bennett, who helped organize the weekend’s activities. “Nothing about BSAI has been altered..,. We still want them to come here.” Few students reported that Duke’s location in the South would affect their final decision. One student, Yvonne Gor, who is from New York, said she specifically did not apply to some schools, such as Brown University, because of poor race relations. Most students also said that since they applied to mostly white schools, they expect racial tension no matter where they go. ‘You can’t run away from racism. It’s everywhere,” said Dawn Roads, a student from Denver. “We all got into this school for the same reasons.... It’s wonderful the black community is not losing sight of that.”
