Duke, local Trouble Bruin: Duke defeats UCLA school build collaboration By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

INDIANAPOLIS In its first test against a marquee NCAA tournament-level opponent, Duke found that despite its youth, its longtime shooting threat nonetheless remains Redick-ulous. The No. 6 Blue Devils (3-0) found freshman J. J. Redick for a game-high 20 points en route to an 84-73 victory over No. 14 UCLA (0-2) Saturday afternoon at Indianapolis’ Conseco Fieldhouse as part of the double-header John Wooden Tradition event. The Blue Devils led by 20 points during part of the second half, after fighting back from an early 10-point deficit. After UCLA came out to a 12-2 start, Krzyzewski called a 30-second timeout at the 16:24 mark, at the end of which he replaced every starter except Duhon with new players, a combination which resulted in a Duke 15-0 run. Calling the sport a “game of adjustments,” Krzyzewski said the team responded well to many substitutions throughout the game. “We couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start. We couldn’t do anything,” Krzyzewski said. “I was seeing the score multiply against us. It was very disturbing. I didn’t seem to think we were doing anything to upset

OIT plans to register computers � Seeking to protect Duke’s

By KIYA BAJPAI The Chronicle

Duke graduate Jeff Martin, Pratt ’9B, is on to bigger and better things, literally. Martin set off this weekend to climb Africa’s five highest peaks and raise money to educate East Africa’s Masai Mara villagers on environmental preservation. This expedition will be his first under Altruistic Adventures: Expeditions for Earth and Humanity, the organization Martin founded last spring “to inspire and enable the independent traveler to include within his or her travels a charitable component, thereby making the journey a more meaningful and lasting endeavor not only for the individual, but more importantly for the land and people of this extraordinary planet,” according to his website. Not bad for someone who just wanted out of his gray cubicle two and a half years ago, while working for one of Atlanta’s larger environmental engineering firms, Parson’s Engineering Science, Inc. Tired of office life, Martin left Atlanta for a five-month trip to Asia, where he participated in a month-long backpacking trip with the National Outdoor Leadership School in the Himalayas of eastern India. NOLS introduced him to new environmentally conscious habits as well as his future travel partner, Dan Karstofsky, who will accompany Martin on his African expedition. Two summers ago while working with the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative—a non-profit organization focused on preserving and restoring the 14,000-ft. mountains—Martin met a climber who had raised money for rainforest preservation while hiking on the Pacific Coast Trail. That story inspired Martin to blend philanthropy with his love of travel in a trip to Africa. “I’d like a better understanding of the culture and the conservation issues going on in East Africa... and how the involvement of certain charities... are received in the communities which they’re trying to help,” Martin wrote in an e-mail. “I’m thrilled with the opportunities to see things and do things that are unique and inspiring, from climbing tall

peaks, to seeing wildlife, to interacting with a culture in a setting that isn’t contrived through tourism.” After funding their own travel expenses, Karstofsky and Martin have raised approximately $5,500 of their $lO,OOO goal for the London-based Friends of Conservation, an organization that has worked to educate people and reduce the damage of excessive tourism in the Masai Mara National Reserve for the past 20 years. Martin and Karstofsky will visit Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda by hiking Mt. Meri, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya, Mt. Stanley and Mt. Ras Dashen. The 250-mile trek will take about two months. Their third month in Africa will be spent volunteering in the Koyiaki area near the Masai Mara National Reserve, where they will work with village leaders to identify environmental risks and develop plans to solve the problems. The volunteer efforts will be implemented by Friends of Conservation under the Koyiaki Conservation Management and Community Involvement Program. “You can’t protect wildlife without addressing community needs.... Ultimately, it’s the community and its involvement that’s going to determine the success or failure of a program,” Martin told The Denver Post on Nov. 24. Martin, a Charlottesville, Va., native, has already traveled to every other continent besides Africa and Antarctica. His hiking career began in the Alps when he spent a year in Switzerland at age 8 and continued when he backpacked in Wyoming through a teen adventure program. During his time at Duke, Martin also spent a semester abroad in Sydney, Australia, exploring the continent. After spending two weeks in Belize with an ecology and conservation program his senior year, he spent two more months hitchhiking, backpacking and kayaking through much of South America after graduation. After exploring east Africa, Martin will return to his position as director of operations at The World Outdoors, where he organizes outdoor adventures in the American See MARTIN on page 9

computing system, officials will soon begin requiring students to register their computers. By KELLY ROHRS The Chronicle

Beginning Dec. 16, the Office of Information Technology will require oncampus students to register their computers with the Duke network each semester. The short form that will pop up on the computer screen the first time a student goes online each semester will ask for the network identification and password already used for e-mail, allowing OIT to connect computers with individual students. The registration comes after an increase of break-ins of student computers. In the past six months, in excess of 300 computers on campus have been hacked into. More than half of these have been student computers. University Information Technology Security Officer Chris Cramer said the ability to trace student computers will allow OIT to contact students when their computers are being hacked into, and thus prevent damage to students’

hard drives.

“We’ve seen people destroy computers,” he said. “All the term papers, anything stored on the computer, is gone.” Before instituting the registration plan, OIT contacted Duke Student Government for student approval, Cramer said. DSG raised no objections to the proposed registration plan. The new registration will allow OIT to more easily link students’ names with See REGISTRATION on page 9

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS From staff reports

GPWN offers tips for eating during finals The Graduate and Professional Women’s Network is presenting “Food

For Thought: Nutrition and the Busy Student,” Dec. 5 at 5:15 p.m. in the Women’s Center. Participants will learn how to eat healthily and stay energized through finals. Duke nutritionist Franca Alphin will discuss how foods are linked to health and happiness and answer questions on nutrition and mood.

Math team places 3rd in competition A team from Duke scored third, behind Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the 2002 William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, a prestigious national event for math students, held Dec. 1, 2001. Duke’s Department of Mathematics

won $15,000 for its team’s third-place finish. The three winning team members, David Arthur, Nathan Curtis and Kevin Lacker, each won $6OO. Lacker received another $2,500 for being among the five highest-ranking contestants in

the Putnam’s complicated scoring. Arthur, a junior, is a mathematics and computer science major; Curtis, a music major, and Lacker, a mathematics and computer science major, have graduated from Duke.

Law team wins competition The School of Law won the regional competition of the prestigious 53rd Annual National Moot Court Competition, held in Richmond, Va., the weekend of Nov. 15. Of 20 participating teams from 11 law schools in the region, two Duke teams placed in the top four. The Duke team of Dhamian Blue, Jackie Sumer and Meg Turner took first place by defeating a team from the University of Virginia in the final round. The Duke team of Jontille Fowler, Patrick McLain

and Lewis Schlossberg reached the semifinals before succumbing to Virginia in a close match. The National Moot Court Competition, sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers and the Bar of the City of New York, is widely considered the most competitive in the country. Duke’s winning team, along with Virginia’s second-place team, will advance

to the national finals in New York City in late January.

Binational Forum on Civil Society begins today The U.S. ambassador to South Africa and the presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church of South Africa will join a group of South African and American civil society leaders for the inaugural Binational Forum on Civil Society Dec. 2 to 4 at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy.

Terror attacks cause conflicts in Mombasa, Kenya Witnesses’ testimonies conflict; Israeli, Kenyan authorities fight over investigation rights By DEXTER FILKINS and MARC LACEY New York Times News Service

A local farmer said Sunday MOMBASA, Kenya that he spoke to the suicide bombers, one of whom appeared very nervous, just before they destroyed an Israeli-owned beachfront hotel in Mombasa, Kenya last Thursday. Other Kenyans stepped forward with detailed accounts of three men fleeing the city’s airport shortly after two surface-to-air missiles narrowly missed an Israeli airliner. The eyewitness accounts of the terrorist attacks that killed 13 people in addition to the suicide bombers come amid signs of increasing tension between Kenyan and Israeli investigators over the handling of the case. “I shook hands with fire,” said Khamis Haro Deche, the farmer who said he met the suicide bombers. Deche, who does not see many vehicles on the dirt road near his village, which is about a mile from the Paradise Hotel, said he found a Mitsubishi Pajero parked near his mud hut. He approached it and reached to greet the two men inside, both ofwhom appeared to be Arabs. After offering them a traditional Swahili greeting—“Habari?” or “Any news?”—and shaking hands with both men, he asked if they needed help. The man on the passenger side, who appeared rattled, motioned in the direction away from the hotel and said in halting Swahili that they were waiting for a

friend, Deche said. Deche said he was suspicious enough to memorize their license plate—KAA 853N—which the police are still tracing. Moments after he returned home and the vehicle pulled away, Deche said he felt his mud hut

shake from the force of the hotel blast. Deche, 39, who is married with six children, provided his account to both Kenyan and Israeli investigators, who are struggling to find those responsible for the attacks. But other eyewitnesses contacted Sunday had not yet spoken to the authorities. The Kenyan police have set up a special telephone hot line and e-mail address to receive information from the public, but as of late Sunday not a single tip had arrived. A1 Qaeda, the terrorist network ofOsama bin Laden, has been widely mentioned as a likely organization behind the attack, but investigators in Kenya and in Washington said they lacked enough information to establish a definitive link. Kenyan authorities said the Israelis had sought permission to send some ofthe evidence from the bombing

But some Israeli investigators were clearly chafing at the laid-back manner of their Kenyan counterparts, who led reporters through the bombing site Sunday and allowed one journalist to pick up a metal fragment believed to be part of a gas canister used in the bombing after a Kenyan police officer had dropped it in the dirt. “They’re no use except to smile at you,” an Israeli investigator complained of the Kenyans.

Women’s basketball wins Virgin Island tourney

Blue Devils edge out Arkansas in overtime of championship game to bring home title By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

Less than a week after blowing out No. 2 Tennessee, the top-ranked women’s basketball team (50) struggled at the Paradise Jam in St. John in the United States Virgin Islands. Although the Blue Devils defeated Hampton (13), Old Dominion (1-3) and No. 17 Arkansas (4-1) during the tournament, Duke were less than dominating against the Lady Monarchs and needed overtime to dispatch the Lady Razorbacks. “We didn’t play like the No. 1 team,” junior Iciss Tillis said after the second game. “Even though we are the No. 1 team, we have to come out every single game and play like it. For some reason... we just haven’t had our eggs in one basket.” Junior Alana Beard, who set a new Paradise Jam record with 70 points over the three games, joined Tillis on the All-Tournament team and was named MVP. As a team, Duke played strong defense, stealing the ball 33 times and blocking nine shots over the course of the tournament.

No. 1 Duke 74, No. 17 Arkansas 72 (OT)

Beard missed the front end of a one-and-one at the end of regulation to force overtime, but the AllAmerican sunk two free throws with one second left in the extra session to give Duke a 74-72 victory over No. 17 Arkansas Saturday. “I have been struggling with my free throws,” said Beard, who finished with 27 points. “That is something that I need to work on. I have been working on them since I have been here.” Duke fell behind early, as the Lady Razorbacks took a 25-16 lead on a Dana Cherry layup with six minutes remaining in the first half. The Blue Devils, however, cut the deficit to two by ending the first half with a Tillis three-point play followed by four consecutive points from freshman center Mistie Bass, who finished with 13. Arkansas held a small lead for most of the second half, and Duke took back the lead for the first time since the opening minutes five minutes into the second half when Michele Matyasovsky scored on a layup. The Lady Razorbacks, however, surged back and regained the lead. The Blue Devils did not lead again until Matyasovsky stole the ball from Lakisha Harper and drained a jump shot. “We learned a lot about ourselves,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We got down and did not panic. We never lost our poise.” A pair offree throws by Sarah Pfeifer and a layup by Shameka Christen gave Arkansas a 61-59 lead, before Bass sank a layup with 2:22 remaining in regulation. Neither team scored again in regulation. Overtime went back and forth before India Lewis, who finished with 16 for Arkansas, hit a pair of free throws to tie the game with seven seconds remaining. Beard was then fouled with one second remaining and made free throws to give Duke the victory. “They are just a great team, very versatile and [they] have great athletes,” Matyasovsky said. “It

Redick leads men’s basketball t

UCLA from The Chronicle page 1 hit a three-point basket to bring the Blue Devils within three. “The four kids coming off the bench did an incredible job of changing and turning the game around,” Krzyzewski said. “We can play better, no question. But I don’t want to take away from what the kids did. They had to play well to beat UCLA.” Twelve of Redick’s 20 points came in the first half. The freshman, playing in only his third collegiate game, hit 7-for-13 and made 50 percent of his threepoint attempts. “J.J.’s probably the best shooter on our team,” Duhon said. “Any time he is open, we are looking to get him the ball.” Redick, whose career-high bested the previous mark set last week against Davidson, was careful to credit his teammates.

“Playing with Chris makes my job a lot easier,” he said. Krzyzewski said Horvath, with 16 points on 7-for-10 shooting and four rebounds, had his best game at Duke. The junior’s previous game-high had been 13 points during the 1999-2000 season against Wake Forest. Duke entered the locker room with a 40-33 lead, having limited UCLA star Jason Kapono to only five points in the half. “It’s Duke. They’re going to play tough defense,” Kapono said. “They didn’t want to give me any shots, and they did a good job of it. Every point I scored I had to earn.” In the second half, the Blue Devils extended their lead with a 20-4 run fueled again by Horvath inside and Redick on the perimeter. With about five minutes left in the game, UCLA switched to a full-court press, which appeared successful in limiting Duke from amassing a blowout, but was nonetheless unable to make the game competitive. “Late in the game, our press gave us the opportunity to get it out of double figures, and I hoped we could make it a two-possession game,” said UCLA head coach Steve Lavin. Krzyzewski said the game was unusual because of the many lineups the team used, responding to UCLA’s versatile mix of matchup zone and manto-man coverage. He added that the team is still discovering much about itself and how the deeper-than-usual Duke bench will work together in various scenarios. UCLA was all too willing to throw a variety of scenarios at Duke Saturday afternoon. “We started out with a matchup zone, but they pulled out five players on the perimeter than can knock down threes,” Lavin said.“It distorted our zone, spread us out and opened up gaps.” Duke improves to 9-6 all-time against the Bruins.

MONDAY,

past UCLA at Wooden Tradition I The Blue Devils coupled a strong outside game in the first half with a strong inside game in the second half to take out UCLA in the first game of the Wooden Tradition at Conseco Fieldhouse. INDIANAPOLIS Facing an early 12-2 deficit just three and a half minutes into Saturday’s contest against talented UCLA, Duke came back with with a barrage of three-pointers. Freshman J.J. Redick hit four, sophomore Daniel Ewing added two more and floor leader Chris Duhon drained one of his own, propelling the Blue Devils to a 40-33 halftime lead. As UCLA head coach Steve Lavin noticed, the outside-oriented attack was consistent with the great Duke teams of the past decade, as players like Christian Laettner, Trajan Langdon and Jay Williams were all prolific shooters from long range. “They put five players on the perimeter that could all knock down threes, as they’ve so often done over the last 10-15 years,” Lavin said. “That stretched our matchup zone and opened up some gaps.” The damage being done, Duke opened the second half by shifting tactics. Instead of being content to take the first open look from behind the arc, the Blue Devils pushed the ball into the paint first with the pass and then with the drive. On Duke’s opening offensive possession, Duhon found Nick Horvath down on the block for a three-point play, pushing the Blue Devil advantage to 10. For the next five minutes Duke’s guards attacked the Bruins through ball-fakes and penetration moves. “With myself, I knew at halftime that with me hitting four threes in the first half that Jk guys would start flying at me,” Redick said. “There were a couple of plays in the second half where I just used a little hesitation on my shot, so [getting into the lanel was definitely something I was thinking about.” Behind Duhon, the Blue Devils also pushed Nick Christie the tempo. Back on its heels, UCLA looked Game Commentary helpless to contain Duke’s newfound resolve to attack the lane. The Blue Devils poured in 20 points in under six minutes of play, an offensive explosion that gave Duke to a 60-42 lead. “Our main focus coming out of the second half was that they had a couple kids in foul trouble,” Duhon said. “So, after shooting the ball extremely well from the outside, we knew that would open up the inside.” Resisting the urge to impatiently hoist up threes and continue to feed the hot shooter can be deceptively difficult. Case in point: After jumping to its early 10-point advantage UCLA, said star forward Jason Kapono, found itself too shot-happy; rather than adjust to Duke four substitutions, the Bruins fired up quick shot after quick shot. Kapono’s teammates Ray Young, Cedric Bozeman and T.J. Cummings kept trying to challenge their defenders’ one-on-one, and UCLA struggled to match the three-point exploits of Redick and company. Despite its hot start, the Bruins finished the first half just 38.7 percent from the floor and lost eight turnovers. Already frustrated at his squad’s selfish play, Lavin found himself unable to prepare his players for Duke’s halftime adjustments. Considering Lavin and his staff had drilled the Bruins coming into Saturday’s game on the Blue Devils ability to get to the rim, their defensive letdown was particular-

ly disheartening. “The main point of emphasis when you play Duke, and it’s similar to playing Arizona—they are the two teams that are most effective at spacing the floor and shot-faking you,” Lavin said. “We talked about it during our preparation. We talked about it every timeout. In the first half we were better at our defensive stance, staying down and having defensive discipline for the entire shot clock. In the second half... they started getting into gaps, getting into seams.” Duke’s aggressiveness manifested itself in a variety of ways. Senior Dahntay Jones shook off a miserable first half to finish with 13 points, 11 of which came in the second half off dribble penetration moves or fast break finishes. Duhon, who finished with 14 points and eight assists, looked especially sharp in the second half. The point guard slashed through the lane for layups and successfully pushed the ball up the court to generate quick baskets. And then there was Redick, who followed up his first half 3point display by demonstrating his mid-range game. An example of the team’s attacking emphasis, Redick’s first second-half shots both came from close range, including an impressive three-point play during Duke’s decisive spurt. “That’s something I work on a lot, actually, getting into the lane,” he said. “[On the three-point play] I came to a jump stop which I do so I don’t pick up a charge or anything, and I just took it up strong.”

Inconsistency, injuries hurt men’s soccer season Despite big upsets and NCAA tournament bid, Blue Devils believe they could have been better By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

This year’s men’s soccer season featured several exhilarating victories and an NCAA tournament bid, but the team said in the end its inconsistency was its undoing. The talented Duke squad was unable to beat some clearly inferior teams, and was sent home early from both the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments. The two high points of the Blue Devils’ season came during regular season ACC play in-the form of home wins over favored opponents. During its first conference game, the Duke crew played host to national powerhouse Clemson, then the No. 2 men’s team in the country. Head coach John Rennie’s unranked Blue Devils maintained a 1-1 tie until the second overtime, when All-ACC senior midfielder Trevor Perea scored a golden goal to seal an upset of the Tigers which brought Duke its first national ranking of the season. The second highlight came two weeks later, when the then-23rd-ranked Duke squad beat archrival and favorite North Carolina in a 1-0 nailbiter on the strength of a goal by junior forward Jordan Cila shortly after halftime. “Those kind of wins got us our atlarge bid to the NCAA tournament,” assistant coach Mike Jacobs said. The rest of the Blue Devils’ 11-7-1 regular season was undistinguished, with the team hampered by injuries. The team went 6-4 after the Carolina game, but suffered upsets, most notably losing to Lehigh, 2-1. “I’d say that it was disappointing in general,” Perea said. “When we started off so well, to go on a slide like that

was not what we planned.” Injuries played a large role in Duke’s lukewarm season, and particularly damaging were injuries to the defenders. Junior Matt Ahumada, sophomore Matt White, seniors Robert Antoniou and Andy Borman, and freshman Ryan Kerlew all missed time

with injuries.

“Every time someone got any kind of injury, it was to a defender,” Jacobs said. “We had to change the system in the middle of the season because we ran out of people for several games.” The team bowed out ofthe ACC tournament in the first round, falling to national power Virginia, whose three second-half goals sealed the Blue Devils’

fates. The team then received an atlarge bid to the NCAA tournament, but again lost in the first round, this time at home to 25th-ranked William & Mary in a 2-1 heartbreaker. The team’s outlook for next year is good, despite the loss of Perea, Borman, Antoniou, All-ACC midfielder and cocaptain Donald Mclntosh, and co-cap-

tain Scott Noble. “We’re losing some pretty important players, and some leaders,” said sophomore keeper Justin Trowbridge. Next year’s team will be led by current juniors Cila and Ahumada, as well as sophomore forward and leading Duke scorer Owoicho Adogwa. And with the strong team headed back next year and the motivation provided by this year’s first-round tournament losses, Duke is in position for an impressive season. “When we come back, Duke is going to work hard when we’re on the field so we can still be proud to put on that jersey,” Adogwa said.

Russia slips by France to win Ist Davis Cup title Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin hugs each team member after Russia’s win in Paris By MICHAEL McDONOUGH The Associated Press

PARIS No deficit was too daunting for Russia or Mikhail Youzhny in the Davis Cup final. Russia became the first finalist in 38 years to overcome a 2-1 deficit, beating defending champion France to claim its first title when Youzhny fought off a two-set hole in the last match Sunday. Youzhny, a ball boy the last time Russian tennis played in a Davis Cup final, stunned Paul-Henri Mathieu 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 to give Russia a 3-2 edge in the best-of-five series. “When I was down two sets to love, I told myself: ’I have to play my game, I have to do my best,”’ said Youzhny, at 20 the same age as his opponent. “I won this match because I’m in top form. And even though I’m young, I already have experience in big matches.” Russia is just the sixth team to win a Davis Cup final after trailing 2-1. The last was Australia against the United States in 1964.

REUTERS

MIKHAIL YOUZHNY is carried by teammates after beating France’s Paul-Henri Mathieu in the Davis Cup.

After the last point—Mathieu hit a service return long—the Russian team rushed onto the clay court, lifted Youzhny above their heads and began throwing him repeatedly into the air. Each of Russia’s team members then got a hug from former President Boris Yeltsin, who walked over from his seat in the stands.

“It was really a tough match,” Russian captain Shamil Tarpishchev said. “I’ve never had such a tough match as the captain of the Russian team.” Youzhny entered with a 1-4 record in Davis Cup play. But he was chosen to replace two-time Grand Slam tournament champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov, who was tired after playing singles Friday and doubles Saturday—losing both. Kafelnikov had said he would retire if Russia won. That seemed unlikely at the start of Sunday, when France held the lead and hoped to continue another trend; The team winning the doubles had won the previous 24 Davis Cup finals. But Marat Safin, the 2000 U.S. Open champion tied the final by defeating Sebastien Grosjean 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (11) in the

day’s first match. Then the 32nd-ranked Youzhny came back to top Mathieu. ‘Yevgeny was tired after the doubles,” Safin said. “So we decided to put the young player. Why not?” Youzhny picked up the last service break in the seventh game of the final set to go up 4-3, and he won the match by holding serve at love.

Russia lost Davis Cup finals in 1994

and 1995. France was seeking its 10th Davis Cup title and first back-to-back championships since 1932. The French won last year’s final in Australia.

NFL Update From wire reports 30 GREEN BAY, Wis. Packets

The Green Bay Pack-

20 ers clinched their first Bears NFC North title in five years by forcing five turnovers and getting an outstanding performance by rookie running back Tony Fisher to beat Chicago 30-20 Sunday.

Fisher, an undrafted free agent from Notre Dame, replaced Ahman Green, who hurt his left knee in the third quarter. Fisher had 91 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. On a cold, windy day at Lambeau Field, Brett Favre threw two secondhalf touchdown passes and improved to 33-0 at home when the temperature is 34 or below. He beat the Bears for the 18th time in 22 tries. The Packers (9-3) trailed 14-6 at halftime and appeared on their way to a third straight loss until Rod Walker forced a fumble by Bears center Olin Kreutz at the Green Bay 1 early in the third quarter. The Packers also got a huge play from receiver Javon Walker, who ran about 100 yards to chase down Roosevelt Williams as he was about to dance into the end zone at the end of the first half.

Damon Moore had intercepted Favre’s pass at the Chicago 5 but fumbled at midfield. Packers lineman Mike Flanagan recovered but tossed the ball into the air. Williams grabbed it and started running before Walker caught him. The Bears (3-9) lost starting running back Anthony Thomas with a broken right index finger. Tight end Dustin Lyman scored his first two career TDs.

Falcons 30, Vikings 24, OT MINNEAPOLIS Michael Vick ran for 173 yards—the most by a quarterback sine the NFL-AFL merger in 1970—and scored the winning touchdown in overtime from 46 yards out as the Falcons stayed unbeaten in their last eight games. The previous high by a QB was 127 yards, set by the Chicago’s Bobby Douglass against Oakland on Dec. 17,1972. The Falcons (8-3-1) are 7-0-1 since a home loss to Tampa Bay on Oct. 6. Vick was just 11-for-28 for 173 yards passing with a touchdown, an interception and two fumbles. But on the Falcons’ second offensive play of overtime, Vick dropped back, rolled left and broke two tackles on his way to the end zone. Minnesota’s Daunte Culpepper was 23-of-43 for 266 yards, one touchdown passing and another running, but he threw three interceptions and was sacked six times. He has 26 ofMinnesota’s league-high 35 turnovers.

Chargers 30, Broncos 27, OT

SAN DIEGO LaDainian Tomlinson ran for a franchise-record 220 yards and three touchdowns, and Steve Christie’s 27-yard field goal with-3:01 left in overtime helped the Chargers deliver a second straight last-second loss to the Broncos. San Diego (8-4) took a half-game lead in the AFC West over Oakland (8-4), which hosts the Jets on Monday night. Denver (7-5) lost to the Colts last week on Mike Vandeijagt’s 54-yard kick. Christie’s winning kick made up for his 38-yard attempt that was blocked with 10:35 left in OT, and the two he missed in regulation. Denver’s Jason Elam was short and wide on a 53-yard try in overtime; he made a 54-yarder in the first quarter.

Bills 38, Dolphins 21

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Drew Bledsoe overcame the elements with three TD passes and a scoring run, and the Bills overcame Ricky Williams’ career-high 228 yards rushing. Braving snow, a cold wind and a slick field, Bledsoe finished 15-for-27 for 306 yards, directing three straight TD drives in the second half. The Bills (6-6) ended a three-game losing streak while jumping back into the AFC East playoff race, getting within a game of the Dolphins (7-5). The Dolphins lost quarterback Ray Lucas to a nerve injury, and Jay Fiedler went just 5-of-9 for 15 yards and an interception. Williams, who scored on runs of 45 and 55 yards, set the team single-game record, and his 1,284 yards is a new franchise mark, surpassing the 1,258 by Delvin Williams in 1978. It also was the

second-most yardage ever for a player on a losing team; O.J. Simpson gained 273 in Buffalo’s 27-14 loss to Detroit on Nov. 25,1976.

49ers 31, Seahawks 24

SAN FRANCISCO Garrison Hearst ran for 124 yards and a careerhigh three touchdowns, and Jimmy Williams returned a punt 89 yards for a score as San Francisco snapped its first two-game losing streak in two years. The 49ers (8-4)* took a three-game lead in the NFC West and swept the season series from the Seahawks (4-8). San Francisco took a 31-10 lead on

Hearst’s third score early in the fourth quarter, but Matt Hasselbeck led a furious comeback by the Seahawks. He had 311 of his 427 yards passing in the second half and threw a 3-yard TD pass to Darrell Jackson with 1:57 left. Orlando Huff recovered an onside kick, and the Seahawks reached the 49ers 43. Hasselbeck threw his next pass directly to Rashad Holman, who made his second career interception.

Steelers 25, Jaguars 23 Kordell JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Stewart made a bid to get his job back for good, Jeff Reed made all six of his field-goal attempts and the Steelers’ defense closed the door on the Jaguars. Reed, a rookie signed two weeks ago to replace the injured Todd Peterson, kicked a 50-yarder to give Pittsburgh (7-4-1) a 25-17 lead with 4:30 left. The Jags (5-7) answered with a 65yard TD drive to cut the deficit to two with 1:16 left. But the Steelers’ defense stopped Jacksonville on the 2-point try when Dewayne Washington broke up Mark Brunell’s pass into quadruple coverage. Stewart, who regained the starting job after Tommy Maddox’s scary injury two weeks ago, threw for 202’yards, ran for 84 more and scored the team’s lone TD.

Chiefs 49, Cardinals 0

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Despite a defense ranked last in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs handed the injuryweakened Cardinals their worst loss in memory. The team’s previous worst loss was Oct. 12, 1941, when the Chicago Cardinals lost to the Chicago Bears 53-7.

Records aren’t available between 1898, when the Cardinals were founded, and 1920. It also was the biggest margin in the NFL since the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Houston Oilers 61-7 on Dec. 17,1989.

ZUMA PRESS

FALCONS QUARTERBACK MICHAEL VICK had over 150 yards passing and rushing yesterday. Dante Hall added a team-record 90yard punt return for a touchdown for the Chiefs (6-6), who sent the Cardinals (4-8) to their sixth straight loss.

Titans 32, Giants 29, OT After EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J, sitting out all week because of rib, shin and toe injuries, Steve McNair threw three touchdown passes, ran for a gametying 2-point conversion and set up Joe Nedney’s 38-yard field goal in overtime. McNair, who didn’t know until game time whether he was going to play, was 30-of-43 for 334 yards. The Giants (6-6) had their chances to put the Titans away late in the fourth quarter when they got a firstand-goal from Tennessee’s 1. But they had to settle for Matt Bryant’s 19-yard field goal to take a 29-21 lead with 2:21 to go. McNair made the Giants pay with a 9yard TD pass to tight end Frank Wycheck barely in the end zone with 9 seconds to play. A video review allowed the catch, and McNair ran straight ahead for the conversion to tie the game at 29.

Eagles 10, Rams 3 PHILADELPHIA

The Philadelphia Eagles proved they can win with their No. 3 quarterback, while the St. Louis Rams still haven’t won without theirs. Bobby Taylor returned an intercep-

tion by Kurt Warner 23 yards for a touchdown, and third-string quarterback A.J. Feeley did just enough to help Philadelphia win its rematch of last season’s NFC championship game. The NFC East-leading Eagles (9-3) forced five turnovers and sacked Warner eight times, including four by backup defensive end N.D. Kalu. The Rams (5-7) are 0-6 when Warner starts. They won five straight when No. 3 quarterback Marc Bulger stepped in after backup Jamie Martin went down in* his first game playing for Warner, who broke his pinkie in

Week 4. Warner was 20-for-42 for 218 yards and two interceptions.

Panthers 13, Browns 6 CLEVELAND After nearly three months of self destruction, the Panthers finally damaged somebody else’s season. Dee Brown rushed for 122 yards in his

first career NFL start as Carolina ended an eight-game losing streak Sunday with a 13-6 win over Cleveland, crippling the sloppy Browns’ playoff chances. The Panthers (4-8), who began the season 3-0, won for the first time since Sept. 22 and ended a string of futility that included all sorts of off-field problems—the most notable being wide reSee NFL on page 8

Duke 71, Hampton 34

Thursday, Hampton had to be thankful every time it got the ball across halfcourt. The Lady Pirates turned the ball over more frequently than they scored as the Blue Devils rolled to a 71-34 victory. Hampton, with 31 turnovers and a 23.3 shooting percentage, fell far behind Duke early and never challenged. The Blue Devils, however, were not impressed with their own performance. “We didn’t play well tonight,” said Tillis, who scored 14. “People just look at the score and think if you beat someone by this margin of points you played well. But that is not the case. We are a great team and being No. 1 comes with responsibility. Our coach told us that we didn’t play up to the level of play we are used to playing. Even though if we would have beat them by 80, the performance we had on the court was completely unacceptable for our team.”

Nashville. The Texans (3-9) gained just 165 total yards, and David Carr was sacked six times.

The Chronicle

MONDAY,

INSPECTIONS from page 2 each pushing in different directions, as they set about a task of huge technical and logistical complexity. One senior inspections official summarized his feelings this way: “Do the Americans want us to succeed? How would I know?” As for the Iraqis, he added, “Basically, they sit across the table from us and tell us, ‘We have zero, zero, zero.’ And of course, ‘zero, zero, zero’ is a red flag to our bull.” For the moment, the inspectors are still in shakedown mode, working around the clock to revive an inspection apparatus that has been idle since 1998, when the previous team was withdrawn

because of Iraqi intransigence. A fleet of eight helicopters will begin arriving at the Baghdad airport in crates early this week. An electronic de-bugging team will sweep the inspectors’ second-story offices at the U.N. headquarters to remove any bugs that Iraqi intelligence agents may have placed there during the inspectors’ long absence. Monitoring cameras and air samplers installed at many sites years ago, and long since defunct, have to be replaced.

REGISTRATION

But already, the inspection teams have signaled to the Iraqis that the team means business. In four-wheel-drive Landcruisers, with the most advanced scanners to detect toxic microbes and radiation detectors, the inspectors, in blue baseball caps, head out in the mornings from their hotel on the outskirts of Baghdad going first north, then south, then west, then east, then south again. Their strategy is to delay as long as possible the moment when the Iraqi officials following them can get a fix on where they’re heading. In principle, officials from Iraq’s National Monitoring Directorate are in the convoys to cooperate with the inspectors, and to translate.That is especially important at the moment when the UN. teams arrive at the gates of suspected weapons sites and demand “immediate, unimpeded, unconditional, and unrestricted access,” as mandated by Security Council Resolution 1441 that passed unanimously under American pressure last month. The resolution included a stiff warning of the “serious consequences” for Iraq—probably, war with the United States—if the Iraqis fail to comply. In practice, the highway chase is part of a grim game of cat-and-mouse, because the men ofthe monitoring directorate are

their computer network histories. “It could cause problems, but I personally think this is a better version of checks and balances,” said Brandon Taylor, a junior and DSG co-director of undergraduate computing. “I don’t really think it’s a DSG issue,” Taylor added.

Hacked computers also slow down the online network, Cramer said. Since bandwidth is shared by all computers on campus, one computer’s illegal use disproportionately slows down the entire network. Cramer said some computers have used as much as 20 percent of the bandwidth while under the control of hackers. He added that some hacked computers have “attacked other websites” such as Yahoo.com or the Department ofDefense’s website, and tried to shut them down. “If we don’t know who the student owner is, our

there to watch the inspectors like hawks. Their first task is to use radios affixed to their dashboards to tell their Iraqi superiors which military plant, vaccine laboratory or crop-spraying airfield the inspectors are heading for. For now, the Iraqis’job is not difficult. Until the inspectors set up offices in Iraq’s two other principal cities, Basra in the south, near Kuwait, and the oilfield center of Mosul in the north, most sites they choose will be within practicable driving distance of Baghdad. From their initial experiences, inspection officials have concluded that the Iraqis’ strategy is to wait until they have a fix on the inspectors’ general direction and then to alert all “established” weapons sites in the direction. So far, at every site the inspectors have visited, the Iraqis have been prepared. The sites’ iron gates have been rolled back on the inspectors’ arrival. Mostly, plant directors and army generals have been waiting in their offices, and laboratories, workshops, foundries and outdoor testing sites have been staffed, if not always by the engineers and scientists the UN. teams wanted to see. Documents, including scientific data, have been provided promptly. No doors have been locked, or kept locked for long

only choice is to take the computer offlinehe said. If the computer’s owner is located, OIT can easily fix the break-in. They can already trace University-owned computers because they are more easily identifiable. On-campus student computers, however, are not easily traceable to their owners currently.

The registration—which does not apply to

the wireless network or off-campus ethemet connections—will also prevent non-University affiliates from accessing the campus network. Currently, anyone with an ethernet connection can use the Duke network. With the new registration, only people with network identifications will be allowed online. Because students sell computers to one another, all on-campus computers will be registered every semester to keep the records current. Every new computer will also need to be registered regardless of what point in the semester it is bought. “This is required if you want to get online,” Cramer said.

after the inspectors asked for them to be opened. The contrast with the inspections in the 1990s could hardly be greater. Then Iraqis set a pattern then of harassment, culminating in the UN. decision to abandon Iraqi inspections in 1998 that was followed by four days ofAmerican and British bombing of many of the weapons sites now on the inspectors’ list. The previous inspectors were held for hours at site gates, while scientists and documents were driven away through rear entrances. A trove of documents were found hidden on a chicken farm. Missile parts were discovered at a police station. Senior Iraqi officials denied weapons programs repeatedly, until UN. discoveries forced them to revise. This time, inspection officials credit the far tougher mandate given to them in Resolution 1441, and American threats of war, for the Iraqi cooperation. “The past is the past, this is a different ballgame,” said Demetrius Perricos, the Greek-born nuclear chemist who heads the the UNMOVIC field teams that are checking suspected biological, chemical and missile sites. Perricos, 67, headed the first inspection teams from the International Atomic Energy Agency, responsible for checking for nuclear weapons programs, in the 1980s.

MARTIN from page 3 West and some international destinations. He will also work on expanding his own organization’s website, www.altruisticadventures.org “Ultimately I would like to be able to say that $1,000,000 was raised to support a variety of charities that have been hosted on my site and were inspired from my efforts and those others that have gone before me,” Martin wrote. While Martin knows that he may not be able to reach his goal, he is happy thathe has been able to pursue his dreams.“So far I’ve taken what hasn’t been more than a $3OO investment, not counting the computer and printer, and can say that I’ve helped raise almost $25,000 for charities. That’s a nice thing for me to think about.” Even before the trip began, Martin had learned some valuable lessons about fundraising, which he hopes will help him in the future. “Now I can say that I’ve been through it myself, success or failure, I’ve got experience,” Martin wrote. “That will help round out my qualifications for whatever path I choose: business school, non-profit [organizations and] international work.”

Edward Kennedy, failed in 1980 to win the presidential nomination, as did Paul Tsongas in 1992. Gov. Michael Dukakis—a Kerry mentor—won the 1988 nomination, but lost by a wide margin to Bush’s father. Democrats are expected to have a crowded field of candidates. Vermont Gov.

he said. “I have a great sense of what this country can be and what it is.” That background could deflect some of the criticism he could face for his voting record. He has voted with liberal standard bearer Kennedy 93 percent of the time. Still, Kerry did not shy from those positions in making the announcement, restating his opposition to the death penalty and forcefully challenging Bush’s proposed tax cuts.. “We can’t go on any longer pretending to Americans that you can have everything and that nobody has to have any cost attached to it,” he said. “What Sept. 11 taught us, or reminded us perhaps, is that there are some things that only the government will d0... it’s your traffic jam, it’s your school that’s falling apart, it’s your airport system that doesn’t work, it’s your security system that isn’t there.”

item after their strip. “Our original title might have been ‘Shark’s Heaven’ but that just didn’t have the right ring,” Logan explained. “But the name was definitely inspired by the food from the Marketplace, not the other way around.” Coming up with the names “Jake” and “Hubert” was the hardest part about getting things started. Logan and Bramley said they went as long as possible that first semester without actually mentioning the fishes’ names. “We had to sit around a long time discussing names,” Bramley explained. “We had to try to get people we didn’t know.” And while the Nuggets may resemble their creators, the artists said the characters in the strip are entirely fictional. “We always claim that in no way do any of the sea nuggets represent people,” Logan said. Although Logan and Bramley said they have gotten many pleas to keep up their work, the seniors are sticking to their guns.

The one thing that only Bramley does is the handwriting, because his is easier to read. Once the strip is done, the artists bring the finished product up to The Chronicle’s office, typically around 3 a.m. Logan and Bramley said they do not mind the attention garnered by the strip, but they want people to know that they do things besides just draw the comic. “Usually whenever we go into social situations people point it out,” Logan explained. “Sometimes it gets annoying because it’s like, ‘This is Dave, he draws fish,’ but I do more than just that.” The artists said that freshmen have approached them to ask if they knew the Marketplace had named a food

MONTESSORI from page 1 the various contributing groups, espe-

cially Duke. “The University was really sort of the glue that kept the whole thing together,” Lamme said. “Not only did they help arrange some contributions, but they were also really helpful in putting all the pieces together.”

The Neighborhood Partnership Initiative began in 1996 and serves as an umbrella organization for Duke’s efforts to aid 12 area neighborhoods, including seven schools within them. Officials said that the University’s efforts for the OLE at Montessori exemplify the work ofthe NPI.

The OLE comprises three arbors and is connected by cement walkways, in which each student sank a self-designed tile along with various small objects brought from home. One student sank a

watch, another a computer disk and a third coins from around the world. Faculty and staff members also contributed to the walkway design, sinking handprints and objects of their own. The centerpiece—a large sundial featuring various numeral systems, including Arabic, Roman, Chinese and tally marks—was developed by the upper elementary students. “The beauty of the project was that we [and] every single student—all 200 ofthem—came out and personally sank their tiles,” Sabiston said. “We had fouryear-old kids carrying tiles as big as they were. It was a real ‘wow’ moment Once the OLE is completed, teachers will be able to bring their classes outside to the shaded arbors, which were constructed to reflect the teaching methods of the Montessori program. “A lot will depend on the weather, but truly I think it will be used a lot daily because it complements the ”

Within seconds, Saidi said, a black Mitsubishi Pajero came rumbling toward him. Inside, Ali saw three men. He described the two in the front seat as dark skinned, probably sub-Saharan Africans. In the back, he said, was a third man who appeared to have lighter skin with Somali features talking into a cellphone in one hand and holding an automatic rifle in the other. Saidi said he jumped out of the way as the vehicle sped off the dirt road and turned right onto a paved road that runs out ofthe city, with one branch heading west toward Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, and the other south toward the Tanzanian border. “I looked right at them, and they looked at me, and

The other arbors, which emphasize mathematics and social studies/science, are similarly constructed for hands-on learning. They include devices such as an abacus-like bead frame for mathematics and a built-in plant stand, which will allow the pre-kindergarten to fifth grade students to participate in cultivating their own plants. Duke’s Program Coordinator for Community Affairs David Stein, whose son also attends Moorehead Montessori, acted as the main liaison between the school and the University. “The University works from what schools say that they need,” he said. “The school said they needed a shaded learning environment, so we helped raise the

I thought they were going to shoot me,” said Saidi. “They were at a very secluded spot, and I think I was the only one to see them.” Saidi’s description differed markedly from the one put out by the Kenyan police, who said they were looking for three Arab men driving a white Pajero. Deche, who said he shook hands with the suicide bombers near the Paradise Hotel, also provided details that were at variance with those released by the authorities. He said that two men, not three, were in the Pajero that rammed through the front gate ofthe hotel and that the vehicle was dark brown, not green. The police say witnesses near the hotel mentioned three men. Investigators suspect that the bomb was packed in the back of the dark Pajero that stopped on the outskirts of Deche’s farm.

contractor.” The contractor, J.W. Grand, Inc., had worked on University projects before. Last year, Director ofFacilities Management Jerry Black asked all the contractors who do significant work with the University if they would help with philanthropicprojects that are too big for facilities management* to handle alone, said John Cline, assistant director offacilities management.

“The contractors all stepped forward, and all we really did was contact them and ask if anyone wanted to help,” Cline said. Still, Sabiston stressed the importance of the University’s role in the project. “The time, energy, effort and word of mouth through the guys at Duke—in making sure that people got in .touch, that things were getting done—it really worked like clockwork,” she said.

The amount of evidence they are combing through is enormous. Investigators have begun collecting thousands of pieces of metal, with some laid out on blankets, and other items stored inside plastic bags. But the hunt for the men who got away was clearly proceeding slowly. Investigators at the main police headquarters in Mombasa said that they were visiting hotels to determine if anyone suspicious had stayed there and that they were working other leads. But one Kenyan investigator, who refused to provide his name, said he believed that the men involved were long gone. “They’re not around,” he said. “This was planned well in advance. They knew what they were doing, and they’re not sitting around waiting for us.” Alicia Kalhammer, 31, an American tourist from Tallahassee, Fla., agreed. She and her Spanish husband, Jose Tena, were held for several days, after the police wondered why they had hastily checked out of

their hotel after the blast. PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Students Having Smarter Sex, Says New Survey, But More Education

smartersexs)

Needed New research about the sexual habits of students is offering a positive look at what might really be happening behind closed doors. New survey results suggest students ages 18-24 take sex and monogamy seriously and that more men than women in this age group say they are virgins. The survey also showed that most students know the basics of "safe and smart" sex (using both barrier and hormonal contraceptives), but there is still a need for more communication and reliable resources. For the Smarter Sex Survey, sponsored by Bacchus and Gamma Peer Education Network and Pharmacia Corporation, makers of DEPO-PROVERA®

And, more than half of the survey participants (62 percent) believe they can tell if someone has an STI "just by looking," even though the two most common STIs, chlamydia and HPV, may not exhibit any noticeable symptoms. -

"A problem is that women and their partners don't always use contraception correctly or consistently, which puts them at risk," says Margaret Bridwell, MD, 08/GYN, and Director of the University Health Center, University of Maryland. "With so many birth control methods available that do not require daily dosing, such as DEPO-PROVERA®, we hope that information on www.Smartersex.org will encourage women to discuss with their healthcare providers what birth control options may be better suited to their lifestyles."

The survey revealed that about 34 percent of males not had sex, compared to 18 percent of females surveyed -in part because more women than men reported being in monogamous relationships. In general, both men and women scored well when asked about STIs, HIV, and contraception with 89 percent agreeing that monogamous couples should get first tested for HIV before they stop using condoms.

Depo-Provera does not protect against HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Depo-Provera should not be used by women with known or suspected pregnancy, unexplained vaginal bleeding, breast cancer, blood clots, liver disease or a history of stroke.

Big problems in PPS

February 2002 external review of the Sanford Institute of Public Policy found that the department had too many professors of the practice, that its research and teaching are not well integrated and that its undergraduate curriculum’s core courses are unrelated to upper-level courses. Moreover, the review insinuated that the reason for the popularity of the public policy studies major is because the classes are easy and the grading is generous and that undergraduates feel the major lacks intellectual rigor. Overall, the external review’s findings highlight serious challenges with which the institute must deal, Sanford’s director, Bruce Jentleson, has dismissed much of the review’s criticisms as misunderstandings. However, such an overwhelmingly negative review cannot be the result solely of numerous misunderstandings. Something is obviously wrong with public policy. Currently, the public policy major lacks a core focus and is primarily an amalgamation of economics, political science and sociology, but with less content and difficulty than those other disciplines. Also, it is questionable whether public policy as a discipline looks at issues differently than these disciplines. One indication of this lack of focus is the haphazard way in which students take classes, with many public policy majors postponing core courses until their senior year. And while many of the institute’s upperlevel course offerings are on interesting topics, the rigor of those courses and the manner in which they are taught are in serious question. For example, the review noted that many professors ofthe practice simply use class time to relate personal anecdotes instead of teaching theory. This lack oftheory in teaching is one reason why having such a large percentage of non-tenure track faculty is problematic. Although real-world experiences are valuable, focusing on exposure to real-world problems and building contacts in professional fields is not the mission of this University. In the same way administrators have decided not to have a business major because that major is too pre-professional and lacks intellectual value, public policy must avoid becoming a pre-professional major. Sanford must transform itself into an institute that wrestles with large, important ideas instead of teaching students how to write memos. One of the review’s recommendations was to develop joint doctorate programs with other Arts and Sciences departments or professional schools at Duke. The lack of any program higher than a masters degree has limited the institute’s research capabilities and the ability for the institute to compete with its peers. Sanford needs more graduate students for many reasons, including expanding its research and to improve the undergraduate curriculum by focusing more on theory and less on the vocational aspects of public policy. Fortunately, Sanford seems to be taking some small steps in the direction of increasing its graduate instruction. But ultimately, without the institute taking a careful look at itself and articulating what it does and why it is important, and without a complete overhaul and reorganization of its undergraduate major, public policy will continue to lack the substance, coherence and difficulty of other disciplines at Duke.

‘Sodom’ Hussein’s Iraq The U.N. inspectors in Iraq have begun their investigation of various Iraqi factories and military sites. Pay no attention. They will find

Thomas Friedman Commentary nothing. The key to this whole inspection gambit—indeed, the key to whether we end up in a war with Iraq—will come down not to where the inspectors look inside Iraq, but whom they decide to interview outside Iraq, and whether that person has the courage to talk. The fate of Iraq will all come down to the least-noticed paragraph in U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441: Point 5. The framers of this resolution had learned their lessons from previous Iraqi inspections. They knew that Saddam Hussein was an expert at hiding his war toys and, having had four years without inspections, had probably buried everything good under mosques or cemeteries. That means the only way we can possibly uncover anything important in Iraq is if an Iraqi official or scientist—-a Saddam insider—tells the U.N. where it’s hidden. And that is why the Security Council insisted on Point s—something I did not appreciate at first, but do now. Point 5 says: “Iraq shall provide [the U.N. inspectors] and the [lnternational Atomic Energy Agency]... immediate, unimpeded, unrestricted and private access to all officials and other persons whom [the United Nations] or the lAEA wish to interview in the mode or location of [the U.N.’s] or the lAEA’s choice, pursuant to any aspect of their mandates.” The United Nations and lAEA may “conduct interviews inside or outside of Iraq, may facilitate the travel of those interviewed and family members outside of Iraq, and... such interviews may occur without the presence of observers from the Iraqi government.” In other words, the chief U.N. inspector, Hans Blix, can invite any Iraqi general or scientist to come outside Iraq and reveal what he knows. And should that Iraqi worry about personal safety, US. officials would be prepared to give his whole family green cards and money to live on. And why not? “I am happy to pay for that,” a senior Pentagon official said. “It will be a lot cheaper than going to war to find these weapons.” But there are two weak points to worry about here. The first is Blix, an lAEA veteran. Although the United Nations has given him

On the

this authority, he is not entirely comfortable with it, U.N. officials say. The whole lAEA inspection process and culture was never set up to be prosecutorial, and it isn’t in most countries. In most countries, the host government provides full cooperation. Blix, and the United Nations generally, are not used to such an “aggressive, adversarial approach”—effectively subpoenaing Iraqi officials—one U.S. official said. And that’s why it’s not clear when—or if—he will opt for interviews. But this is where the United States will

have to hold the United Nations’s feet to the fire. “The key is finding a defector” through interviews, a senior U.S. official said. “That’s the only way we’re going to find anything.” But this leads to the second issue, which is a deeper moral question. Is there an Iraqi

Andrei Sakharov? Is there just one Iraqi scientist or official who wants to see the freedom of his country so badly that he is ready to cooperate with the United Nations by submitting to an interview and exposing the regime’s hidden weapons? It takes just one person in Iraq who wants these inspections to be real, who wants Saddam to be exposed, and the whole house of cards comes down. And that person does not really have to risk his life or his family to do it. He can get everybody out. If there is not one such person in Iraq, well, that tells us something about the Iraqi people’s own quest for freedom and a different future. “In the past year we’ve seen Arab extremists risking their lives to attack others is there one Arab democrat willing to risk his life to save his own country?” asked the Middle East expert Stephen Cohen. “Think about the refuseniks in Russia who went to prison. Think about the reformers in Iran who speak out every day, knowing that it will land them in jail or with a death sentence. It’s really an Abraham-like situation, when God told Abraham he would not destroy Sodom if he could find just 10 good men there. Are there 10 Iraqi refuseniks who dare to say, ‘Enough is enough,’ and will whisper to Blix the truth? Is there one?” Because if there isn’t one such Iraqi, we will have to ask, and many Arabs will ask, “Exactly whom are we fighting this war for?” And if there is one, or 10, no one will ask that question if we go to war. So watch this issue. This is the real drama.

John Rawls, rest in peace

I had the opportunity the following tice, which should have died long before semester to read Rawls at length and he did. The most brilliant defense of the recall both the initial plausibility and liberal state failed, and the time has come troubling consequences of his theory. to acknowledge that liberalism is dead. Rawls is well known for suggesting that The death of his theory, Rawls’s a just society is that society which any rational blueprint for justice within rational agent situated behind a veil of the liberal state, heralds the death of ignorance would choose, knowing that he the institutions it justified: the welfare or she could actually be located at any state, affirmative action, national position within that society.

However, most liberals, whether or for the poor” with the coercive mechanot they ever really put Rawls’s theory nisms of the modem liberal state in a set to practice in their personal endeavors, of universal principles that defined jusstill suffer from a hangover of tice. What he created was a philosophical

Rawlsian idealism and intellectual self-satisfaction. What we should learn from the fate ofhis theory over the last 30 years is that Rawls did not provide

is the mandate of producing equal outcomes among citizens. Inequality becomes synonymous with injustice. Such an equation is at the heart of liberal society and has been since the French revolution. This all sounds rather innocent until one realizes that this principle provides the state with two ways to justly respond to a crippled citizen. If, for example, a man looses his leg in a car accident, the state must either (a) use the resources of the well-off to build a vast network of wheelchair ramps, elevators and equal access vehicles so as to make him equally mobile as others, or (b) amputate the one leg from every remaining citizen. Either path produces an equal—and therefore just—society. What perverse examples like this uncover are the many problems with letting a strict rubric of equality determine the coercive injunctions of the state. One problem with such a theory is that it might always be used to force and level all individuals down to their most common and base denominator.What good is it to make all people equal if by that we mean equally miserable? No one thinks it is good that handicapped people can’t walk up stairs, but justice is more complicated than the application of some equality rule. An infatuation with equality also belies our inability to accept the fact that we do not possess political mastery of everyone’s destiny. Human design cannot save everyone from suffering, and some will refuse the opportunities they are given. Liberty, a good that Rawls was initially interested in maximizing, turns out to be incompatible with his equality, as Nozick so cogently argues, and within vision that situated equality as the indisRawls’s framework “irrational” becomes a putable highest good. In this vision, the only mandate the name for people who disagree with the state must serve in the pursuit of justice liberal democratic view of society.

At least one problem with Rawls’s fictional experiment of the “veil” is that it is indeed fictional. We do not find ourselves in a world that was perfectly constructed by an uninterested third party nor one in which some notion of what people deserve is absent from the concept of justice. That is to say, for all its

grandeur and brilliance, Rawls’s theory of justice did not provide a compelling account of how the liberal state can and should be just in practice. Rawls did not uncover the universal principles he sought, and the consequences of this failure are wide ranging. Most important is the recognition that we—today’s elites of the secular academy and tomorrow’s policy wonks and world leaders—have not arrived at the end of history with a simple formula for the good society, nor do we even have a substantive ethics. We do, however, because ofthe failure of Rawls, have good reasons to doubt that the omnipotent state can be the locus of a just solution to all the world’s problems. What remain before us today are different conceptions of justice within different groups, and we often lack a framework to say why one position is more just than the other. That is why dogmatic liberals in practice generally adopt some version of relativism and one reason why war with Iraq, when it comes, will be so contentious, and the questions of abortion, drugs, the death penalty and income redistribution will continue to divide our country’s politics. Any belief that our society has somehow rationally resolved these issues is a chimera and hopefully an illusion that will pass away with Rawls.

THE SECOND GUNMAN kicks ASS That’s right kids, it’s term paper time! Dave Ingram, Chronicle Kommandant, liked my use of footnotes last week. He asked me to use them again, so that this column may be used as a study guide for those using footnotes in their research papers. In this column, THE SECOND GUNMAN (1), in addition to practicing proper footnote usage, will elaborate on the is that acronym-laden fun Administrative Student Services (2) I like to call it putting foot(notes) to ASS. In order to gather the informa- GUNMAN tion necessary for this attack, I employed a highly trained team ot ninjas: the Special Martial Arts Reconnaissance Team for Administrative Student Services (3). Larry Moneta has done a great job this year of kicking ASS into high gear. In fact, the guy has come up with some phenomenal ideas about the student village. There, we just gave credit where credit was due. However, students need results, not just ideas. So ifDr. Larry doesn’t start making something of these ideas, he can kiss his ASS’s offices goodbye. According to Moneta’s plans, several key offices would be moved to the Bryan Center, the new student hub. Administrative Student Services would be among those departments relocated, possibly undergoing serious changes, under the Administrative Student Services’ Revamping And Maybe MovING plan. When asked about this, Moneta stated, “I am strongly in favor of the aforementioned program. I think it’s exactly what every Ivy Leaguer needs.” If those offices were to be vacated, the next people in line for the nicest trailer in the park would be Bill Bung and the rest of the Administrative Student Services HOusing LEaderS (4), Noted for his skill in deception and trickery, Burig has done an excellent job as the head of this group. He even helped implement the new policy

of mandatory West Campus housing for sophomores. Following the lead of the new departmental motto, “Administrative Student Services: Focused on Under Class Kids,” they have continued to &*& A % (5) the junior class. Just ask any of last year’s Trent residents, except maybe the guy who was growing weed in his room. I heard he has a nice Blackwell-sized room and a roommate who likes to focus on upper-class kids, if you know what I mean. While we’re on the topic of students who lived in Trent, let me make you aware of a document that Kristina Johnson (6) pulled out of her Administrative Student Services file. The Pratt brass, upon learning that the electrical engineers deal with excessive stress, met with South-West Asian and Mesopotamian People Administrative Student Services (7). In an effort to boost morale, they released the Administrative Student Services Minimum Asian Student Teer Enjoyment Requirement, which stated that no student be allowed to eat more than one (8) vending machine sandwich in a single semester. They also began E-kegs, which is still intoxicating people to this day. E-kegs is cold, foamyproof that people really do like Administrative Student Services every once in awhile. In fact, those wacky blue-and-white-shirted band kids have started their own branch, Duke University Marching Band Administrative Student Services. While this is a landmark achievement, they have yet to elect a leader, as nobody wants to be the butt (9) of the DUMBASS jokes. Recently, students have been a bit disgruntled with the changes taking place around them. That’s why I would like to thank The Chronicle for allowing me to be the voice ofthe students. I hope that all you students out there admire my Bereaving of Recent Administrative Student Servicers’ (Bill And Larry) LieS, as it takes a big man (with brass balls) to stand up and say some of the things that I’ve said this semester. I have been a Hating And Really Demanding Administrative Student

Services critic. Because ofthis, I would like to be remembered as a Berater And Demeaner of Administrative Student Services. Alas, my time is up. Next week, I reveal myself. Burig and Moneta will find out who I am, so I’m sure to be “randomly assigned” a low number in the housing lottery. As a current freshman or rising sophomore, I’ll surely get screwed. Show me what I’ve won! (10) I’m willing to bet that my DukeCard will no longer work for basketball games. That’s one thing I failed to make fun of this semester... but I guess enough attention is focused on the basketball team. No hoops is no big loss for me though. IfI’m spending 90 minutes in line, I’ll take Subway over Cameron. Speaking of, they could probably take my food points, too. If you see someone swiping in vain at the ’Dillo bar next semester, you know which GUNMAN it is. So I’m asking you to donate to the canned food drive; it might be my only hope. Hopefully next semester’s Monday, Monday won’t hate on us like we did on PUPPETMASTER AND PATSY. But seriously, thanks guys, you gave us the inspiration. You’ve been wonderful. I’ve been here all semester. (1)
