Campaign for Duke surpasses overall goal some ‘buckets’ still unfilled By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

The University has reached its $2 billion Campaign for Duke goal almost a full year before its December 31, 2003 target, President Nan Keohane and campaign co-chairs Ginny and Peter Nicholas announced Thursday. With $2,006,684,498 pledged since fundraising began seven years ago, the breaking of the goal is a milestone for the most substantial capital campaign in the University’s history, and one of the largest in the history ofAmerican higher education. “All of us who have been involved in the campaign are excited to have reached this historic milestone,” Keohane wrote in an e-mail. “When we first thought about this endeavor back in 1993, $750 million seemed a stretch; now, over time, we have reached successive new highs, and met our formal goal almost

12 months early.” The campaign will not officially end until New Year’s Eve, and four of the 10 divisions—Arts and Sciences, Athletics, the Divinity School and the University Libraries—have not yet reached their goals. The Pratt School of Engineering and School of Law surpassed their targets in July, and the Fuqua School of Business, Medical Center, Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences and University-wide initiatives all reached their goals in the past month. The University passed the $2 billion mark sometime last week to the surprise of the Office of University Development, which had predicted a February breaking, said Peter Vaughn, director of communications and donorrelations. “We knew we were getting close so we stopped and made sure we counted and allocated everything correctly,” he said. “By [Jan. 11], we knew we hit it.” Vaughn said December was a tremendous month for The Campaign for Duke, including several $2 milSee $2 BILLION on page 7

Effort weathers ups and downs with consistent progress By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

It began with a two-year “quiet phase” and Thursday it was still inconspicuous as the fifth story listed on the Duke News Service’s website. But since fundraising officials first planted the seeds of The Campaign for Duke seven years ago, the effort to raise $2 billion has become a top priority in every corner of the University and the fuel to the fire of Duke’s most am-

bitious plans and initiatives. Indeed, the journey from the early days in 1996 to Thursday’s announcement that the campaign had reached its target has been a prominent, smooth and relatively swift one.

The campaign started silently during the third year of President Nan Keohane’s tenure, as development officials began asking Trustees and other top donors to help form the foundation of a prospective seven-year campaign as called for in the University’s long-term plan.

Alcohol remains back-burner issue Dispute threatens DUHS, state pact

Iraqi government officials contend weapons were registered within declaration By JULIA PRESTON

UNITED NATIONS UN. weapons inspectors discovered 11 empty chemical warheads Thursday at an ammunition storage depot in southern Iraq, while another team entered the homes of two Iraqi scientists unannounced, carting away documents. The inspectors stumbled on the warheads in a bunker at the Ukhaider Ammunition Storage Area, about 90 miles southwest of Baghdad. The trove in-

“Either he’s dead or my watch has stopped.” Groucho Marx

New York Times News Service

The Bush administration, in a reWASHINGTON versal, has ruled that managed care organizations can limit and restrict coverage of emergency services for poor people on Medicaid. The new policy, disclosed in a recent letter to state Medicaid directors, appears to roll back standards established in a 1997 law and in rules issued by the Clinton administration, in January 2001, and by the Bush administration itself, in June 2002. Under the 1997 law, states can require Medicaid recipients to enroll in health maintenance organizations or other types of managed care. But certain safeguards for patients were built into that law. Congress, for example, stipulated that managed care organizations had to provide

Medicaid coverage in any situation that a “prudent layper-

son” would regard as an emergency. But now the Bush administration has decided that states can limit such coverage “to facilitate more appropriate use of preventive care and primary care,” the letter said. Administration officials said Thursday that the new policy was consistent with President Bush’s desire to give states greater flexibility with Medicaid. “Some states felt restricted and constricted by the old policy” said Gregory A. Vadner, the Missouri Medicaid director. “In a time of fiscal stress for states, it’s all the more important that we have discretion to manage programs properly.” States say they are facing the worst fiscal crisis in a half-century. Many have cut benefits or restricted eligibility to hold down costs, which rose 13 percent in the last fiscal year, the biggest increase in a decade.

Like the canaries that alerted miners to a poisonous atmosphere, issues of race point to underlying problems in society that ultimately affect everyone, not just minorities. Now, in a powerful and challenging book, Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres propose a radical new way to confront race in the twenty-first century. Terming their concept “political race,” Guinier and Torres call for the building of grass-roots, cross-racial coalitions to remake those structures of

power by fostering public participation in politics and reforming the process of democracy.

From staff reports A former Duke undergraduate is suing another student and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for an alleged rape in December 2001, The HeraldSun of Durham reported late Thursday night. Nora Lindsey Kantor, whom The Herald-Sun reports is on leave from Duke and studying at the Ohio State University, claims that she was raped by current senior James Swoyer Thompson at an off-campus SAE Christmas party. Her lawsuit draws on an obscure and little-used commonlaw mechanism of “civil seduction” and assault, a precedent that allows claims against men who allegedly used “persuasion, deception, enticement and artifice” to seduce women. Claiming in court documents that Kantor consented to having sexual intercourse, Thompson denied any wrongdoing. The lawsuit also cites a history of date rape and alcohol abuse at SAE chapters, including a “widely related” understanding among female students that its letters stood for “Sexual Assault Expected.” SAE national lawyers dispute the characterization and argue both that SAE’s national organization does not control day-to-day chapter activities and that Kantor failed to care for her own safety. Duke’s SAE chapter dissolved in January 2002 when members said that national and University regulations were too restrictive.

Triangle’s regional rail secures FTA approval modate more people, you can simply make the trains longer,” ShearerSwink said. “The platforms are 350 feet long, and we won’t use that all up.” While the TTA said it feels popular support for the rail system is strong, others have questioned the project. John Best, Ward 3 Durham City Council member, expressed concern about the project’s cost-effectiveness. “My overall philosophy is that one day, maybe, my grandkids will need mass transit to get to and from school or work,” Best said. “But I don’t think it’s very viable at this point in time, when the vast majority of citizens prefer driving their vehicles.” Best said he fears many people will not use the rail system. “It’s not going to serve families,” he said. “They’re not going to wantto take their kids to a station, wait 15 minutes, deal with the grocery store, wait another 15 minutes and go home.

A less-congested link between Raleigh, Durham and the Research Tri-

angle Park moved one stop closer to reality as federal officials approved the first phase of the Triangle Transit Authority’s regional rail system. The Federal Transit Authority issued the decision last Thursday, signifying that the environmental requirements for the rail system have been met. The TTA officially kicked off Phase I of the rail project this month and can now begin acquiring land needed for track. “Environmental approval is a huge step forward,” said Juanita ShearerSwink, senior transportation planner. “To get to this point, TTA has already gotten funding from state and nationmillion in federal al funding so far.

commit.” The project began in 1992 when the TTA received grants for studying land use and traffic problems. Two years later, the TTA finalized the Triangle Fixed Guideway Study, which offered three solutions: high-occupancy vehicle lanes, a light rail system or a regional rail system. The TTA board of trustees opted for regional rail in early 1995, and the group has spent the past eight years completing a series of engineering and environmental impact studies—the last of which the FTA has now approved. Phase I, which the TTA projects for completion in 2007, will provide service at 12 stations, including Duke’s Medical Center, Ninth Street, down-

Shearer-Swink said costs for these additions are not yet available. The 175-foot-long trains, consisting of two “married pair” cars and two-way engine cars on each end, will hold between 200 and 225 people. With a twotrack system, trains will arrive at sta-

tions every 15 minutes in both directions and run from between 5 and 6 a.m. to midnight. The trains will travel at average speeds of 35 miles per hour, though trains may reach 65 miles per hour in some segments. “Another nice thing is that with the cars we’re buying, if you want to accom-

Some people will use it every day, others to go to the activity fairground, others to go to the Durham Bulls games.” College students in particular may find the system useful, she said. “One option is that if you’re at Duke, you can get a degree with classes from different campuses,” Shearer-Swink said. “You can be at [N.C. State in Raleigh] and get to Duke faster than ever before because there’s no traffic. There’s a cross-section of people living in the Triangle, and people will use it at different stages in their life.”

N.C. NEWS THIS WEEK From staff and wire reports

Edwards wins seat on Senate Judiciary Committee Senator Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., has been named to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation after trading appointments with Senator John Edwards, D-N.C. Edwards is running for president and needed Cantwell’s seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee to main-

tain a national profile on judicial nominations and other issues. The Judiciary Committee is a highly visible panel that is likely to be a key battleground for partisan fights over judicial nominations by President George W. Bush. Cantwell has a slight edge in seniority over Edwards, a fellow Democrat, but agreed to trade with Edwards because of Commerce’s importance to such companies as Boeing and Microsoft, as well as its jurisdiction over transportation and fishery issues.

Force of 12,000 ready to sail from N.C. coast A quickly assembled force of 7,000 Marines and 5,000 sailors prepared to sail this week for the Persian Gulf region in the largest deployment from Camp Lejeune since the Gulf War more than 10 years ago.

HEALTH PLAN.™ page, reduce the amount it compensates hospitals for three services: inpatient mental health, rehabilitation and chemical dependency. Duke is the only one of 40 hospitals in the state —including University of North CarolinaHTospitals—that has not agreed to the rate reduction, said Paul Sebo, director of operations for the state plan. As Duke is the largest supplier of health care for the state and the state is in turn one of Duke’s biggest clients, the difficult path of negotiations so far has surprised and angered those on both sides. “When it comes to those services, [Duke administrators] feel they are ‘without peer,”’ Sebo said. “If that’s the case, they may think they don’t have to follow the same rules as other hospitals.” As he estimates the three services represent only a small fraction of the state’s total business with DUHS, Sebo expressed disbelief that Duke would be willing to allow the rift to end their affiliation. “We send [Duke] around $5O million of business every year. I think we’re their biggest client.... I cannot believe that it is in Duke’s best interest to give up all that business,” Sebo said. “At the same time, they’re important to us, too. There’s no reason on our part to not want to do business with them.... But if you’re the boss and change the rules for one guy, then what about the other 39?” The state health plan, which spends about $1.2 billion annually to insure 530,000 state employees, retirees and their dependents, is reducing payments for the three services to shave $2 million in spending, partly in reaction to

the state’s impending budget crisis. Duke accounts for 13 percent of the state plan’s charges for those particu-

lar services. State health plan executives’ perception that Duke was unwilling to negotiate led Jack Walker, the executive administrator of the state plan, to send a letter dated Dec. 31 notifying Duke of its termination of their contract. Kenneth Morris, vice president and chief financial officer of DUHS, responded with a Jan. 8 letter expressing

“disappointment” at the state’s decision. “As the largest provider of services to your members, we do not take this termination lightly. We believe that

many of our services are unique, and we are concerned that your decision could result in your members being unduly penalized,” Morris wrote in the letter. He added that DUHS had been prepared to negotiate as part of routine contract discussions in the spring. “If the purpose of your letter of termination is to initiate a full discussion earlier than would normally occur, let me assure you that Duke is prepared to do

so,” Morris wrote. Sebo said the letter did not satisfy him and that he felt Duke needs to be more constructive. “The letter left me a little bit confused,” Sebo said. “If you got a problem, you call us and get the problem resolved. That’s kind of why we’re in this situation now. I even consider exchanging e-mails a bit of a cop-out.” In response, SEHP sent a letter to state employees Tuesday with the headline “Duke University Health System and State Health Plan Terminate Hospital Contract For All Patient Care Services.” “At this time, DUHS has declined to negotiate new rates with the Plan,” the

letter read, adding, “The Plan is committed to working with DUHS to avoid any disruption in care to its members.” The next step occurred Wednesday, when Morris sent a memorandum to DUHS executive leaders explaining the situation and responding to what he called “factual errors and misleading statements” in the SEHP letter. “We were prepared to begin negotiations for contract renewal this spring, so you can imagine our surprise earlier this month when we received a letter from SEHP notifying us that our contract to provide hospital services was being canceled prematurely,” Morris wrote. “It is regrettable that SEHP has taken an action that is likely to cause concern and confusion for their members.” Morris’ memo indicated Duke had always been willing to negotiate new rates, and that state employees would still be able to access Duke facilities on an out-of-network basis. If coverage with DUHS ends in April, the several thousands of state employees who rely on Duke for health care would still be able to use Duke hospitals, but would need to pay an additional 20 percent out-of-pocket for services, up to an additional $5,000, Sebo explained. The N.C. Health Choice for Children program, which covers 92,000 uninsured North Carolinian children, would also be affected, he added. Sebo indicated that the situation, as it currently stands, does not bode well for further negotiations that may be conducted later this year. “The state is in a real financial crisis and this was just these three services,” Sebo said. “Big negotiations will be coming later this year. What in the world are we going to face later this year if we have to negotiate all services?”

ALCOHOL from page 1

today, particularly the awareness about alcohol poisoning and aspiration pneumonia, the kind of things that contributed to the student’s death,” said Jeff Kulley, a Counseling and Psychological Services alcohol specialist. “I think people have been pretty sensitized to get people help when they are overly intoxicated. So in that regard, I think the awareness is a little higher, and maybe it might be somewhat safer with students being aware of the risks.” Kulley said it was difficult to measure whether students today were engaging in less risky behavior than they were three years ago. Since then, much of the campus social scene has shifted off campus. Duke Student Government and administrators began to provide transportation on the weekends, but those buses were canceled due to lack of participation. Joshua «Jean-Baptiste, DSG president and one ofthe architects of the bus plan, said drunk driving is a growing concern. “That’s one of the things that’s not being discussed,” he said. “It’s one of the issues that is being pushed underneath the rug. The sad tiring about that is it will be forced to be discussed if something bad happens. I’d rather us as a University take a more proactive approach to it.” Last year, 47 students were transported to the hospital for alcohol-related incidents, down from 2000-2001’s high of 57, including 38 students hospitalized in fall 2000. Alcohol policy violations also remained roughly the same as in fall 2001. The students at greatest risk for hospitalization include freshmen, for whom the first exposure to freely-flowing alcohol often comes at Duke. Yet Moneta noted that many students come to Duke with a history of alcohol use and pointed out a wider national problem.

fairs, admitted that the current discussion on alcohol would be different had the Kappa Sig student been more severely injured or killed. “Several folks would like to see stricter regulations, would like to see more regulation from a policy standpoint, but I don’t anticipate any changes this year,” she said. “Some people feel we’re sitting on a big time-bomb that will go off at any time.” Two years ago, during the term of interim vice president for student affairs Jim Clack, alcohol was at the top of the student affairs agenda, but when current Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta arrived in 2001, he put alcohol on the relative back burner. Gone were the plans for pushing high-profile alcohol-free programming funds, and in their place came the philosophy that strengthening the student community—through a new residential life plan and enhancement of the student experience with more space in the student village—was a prerequisite to providing any real alternatives to a weekend party scene dominated by booze and binge drinking. Moneta, in affirming his philosophy on alcohol after 18 months on the job, was even more specific—the only thing that will drastically change the debate on alcohol at the University will be “the next death,” he said. Yet three years ago, a time bomb did go off, when University officials admitted that the death of junior Raheem Bath was caused by alcohol overconsumption. “The awareness is probably higher

“The alcohol problem begins in eighth grade. It’s not something that starts when people get here,” Moneta said. “We don’t want more judicial cases just for administrators to say we’re hard-asses.... Neither policy changes nor dances in Armadillo Grill every night will change everything.” He said*the most important things his office could work on are more student empowerment, improved transportation

and increased funding. Again, he pointed to the benefits of more student-led programming, better social spaces and a greater sense of community as part of the long-term solution. “There could be a bigger drinking problem [at Duke] because this is a boring campus and people have nothing to do,” he said. Moneta said it would be easier to teach responsible drinking if the drinking age were lowered to 18—a stance that President Nan Keohane and other campus leaders have supported. Kulley added that despite data that shows accidents among 18- to 21-yearolds have decreased because of the higher drinking age, the gulf between the University’s legal obligation and its ethical obligation can sometimes result in an inconsistent message. “It can make it difficult to establish policies around drinking when any policy that appears to accept any drinking from someone who’s under 21, the policy then appears to be in conflict with the law,” Kulley said. Jean-Baptiste agreed, and said the University is caught in a Catch-22. “You have the law... and then you also have the safety of students,” he noted. “The University can’t support underage consuming. At the same time, by cracking down too hard, it might lead

to unsafe behaviors.”

ing assistant at the institute for two summers. But students and graduate schools alike have an opportunity to benefit immensely from the institute. Students develop a greater understanding of the nature of political science at the

graduate level, and their experience gives them a competitive advantage should they opt for graduate school. “If theyVe done this kind of program, they have a clear advantage,” said Keohane, who added that success in a “serious” program like the Bunche Institute could be the deciding factor among otherwise comparable applicants for admission. As long as the institute remains in existence, the University also reaps a host of ancillary benefits. University contributions to the institute have led . to improved computer facilities, teaching assistants have gained income and valuable experience working in the summer, and the Graduate School has seen former Bunche participants among its applicant pools, increasing the competitiveness ofthe program overall. Most importantly, professors said, the Bunche Institute brings minorities into graduate study, where they have been traditionally under-represented. “It’s important in bringing in people who will ask some of the same questions differently, but also some different questions,” said Romand Coles, associate professor of political science. “The structural biases of power will replicate themselves in academic institutions without programs like this.”

$2 BILLION from page 1 lion to $4 million gifts, and a gift of over $lO million to be divided among four of the divisions. Vaughn would not provide details of the major gift, noting that an official announcement will be made early next week and that the name of the donor “will not be a surprise.” The $2 billion is courtesy of more than 225,000 donors, development officials said. It adds about $661 million to the University’s $2.37 billion endowment. About 84.4 percent of all pledges have been paid, with $312 million committed by donors to be paid in the future, probably within the next five years. The campaign was publicly announced in October 1998 as a $1.5 billion endeavor. Over $684 million had already been raised during a two-year “quiet phase,” mostly through contributions from Trustees. Amidst a strong economy and with a new Strategic Plan to support, the goal was increased in December 2000 to its current level (see related story, page one). The campaign suffered through the nation’s recent recession and the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, but has rebounded strongly in the past year. It has also overcome the inherent fundraising problems of being a young school in the South. “It’s a big achievement for this comparatively young university, one of the handful ever to break the $2 billion barrier,” Keohane wrote. “Given the youth and relatively small size of our alumni body, this is a

particularly impressive accomplishment; the strong support of parents, loyal spouses, and friends of Duke helped a great deal, as well.” Duke now joins the ranks of Columbia and Harvard universities, the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Southern California as schools that sought and reached a goal of $2 billion or more, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. The Johns Hopkins University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago are still in the early stages of their $2 billion campaigns. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is about a billion dollars short of its $l.B billion by 2007 target. Campaign officials stressed Thursday that there was still a ways to go. “While we have raised more than we thought we would, we haven’t yet accomplished what we have called ‘filling all the buckets,’ which means funding every priority we identified at the start of the campaign,” Peter Nicholas said in a statement.

-S.

Some of the buckets still unfilled include: Financial aid, including for graduate fellowships, and merit-based and athletic scholarships. Faculty support, including endowed professorships and other faculty funds that need to be endowed. Facility support, including the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences, the French Science Center, the Nasher Museum of Art, the Albert Eye Research Institute, a second public policy building, an addition to the Divinity •

•

School and the renovation of Perkins Library. Community initiatives, particularly through the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership Initiative. Keohane said that with such buckets to fill, the fundraising will continue with the same vigor. “Nobody is resting on our laurels,” Keohane wrote. “We’ll celebrate briefly and then press on, because there is so much left to do before we can declare victory—and we don’t want to lose the momentum or the sense of comradeship around Duke's key goals that the campaign has engendered.” •

CAMPAIGN from page 1 a gala event in Cameron Indoor Stadium, over

$684

million had been raised. “I think we all can have a great time celebrating Duke over the next five years of the campaign,” Keohane wrote in a Chronicle column a few weeks later. “While we do that, we shouldn’t focus just on the campaign, or the ambitious dollar goal; we should think about our purposes, stressing all that it will accomplish, so that we can do even better in teaching, in research and in service to society.” Reaching that ambitious dollar goal quickly became an issue not of if but when it would happen, and perhaps more important, whether the target was too low. Buoyed by a humming economy riding the dot.com wave, the then-$1.5 billion campaign surpassed the $BOO million mark by late February 1999 and helped pull in a record $330.9 million in donations over the 1999 fiscal year, a 30 percent increase over the previous record. “It’s so good it’s scary,” Robert Shepard, vice president for University development, said at the time of the campaign’s dramatic progress. Anchored by a $35 million gift to the engineering

school from Edmund Pratt, Jr., the month before, the three-year-old campaign broke into the 10-digits Nov. 9, 1999. A month later, the Board of Trustees met for their quarterly meeting and decided to maintain the $1.5 billion goal despite the promising pace. At the time, the decision seemed timid to several Board members. “I think we’re so close [to our overall goal], I think people will just sit back,” Trustee John Mack said then. “Let’s get on with it. Let’s just say $2 billion.” The University raised nearly $4OB million during the 2000 fiscal year, catapulting it to just $2OO million shy of the $1.5 billion goal. In early December 2000, the Board ofTrustees decided that what had long been seen as inevitable—a raising of the goal from $1.5 billion to $2 billion—was necessary if the University was to pay for the hundreds of proposed initiatives in its long-range strategic plan.

Several weeks later, the Pratt School of Engineering

received a $25 million gift for photonics research from Duke alumni Michael and Patty Fitzpatrick, putting the school more than 250 percent past its original $5O million goal. The target was raised to $l7O million, and two years later was one of two divisions to reach their ultimate goals almost 18 months before the final deadline. But as the campaign’s targets were raised, the economy went in the other direction. Duke’s fundraising brought in only $294 million for the fiscal year ending June 30,2001, and a recession and the Sept. 11 attacks further curtailed donations during the fall 2001 semester. In Dec. 2001 and early 2002, however, contributions steadily increased, putting the campaign back on track. “The weight of growth of the campaign slowed a bit starting with calendar [year] ’ol—not much, but a little... and that was probably due to the economy,” Peter Vaughn, director of communications and donor relations for the Office of University Development, said Thursday. By July 2002, Pratt and the School of Law had reached -their goals, and ever since, campaign officials

have been trying to fill “buckets.” “It’s clear in our mind that $2 billion was a target, and that nothing is going to stop at that point,” Vaughn noted. “We all understand that it isn’t over and we need to continue to raise funds for Duke in those areas that need them most.” Indeed, no major University-wide celebrations are planned until February 2004, when all the pledges have been tallied. After that, the University will continue to fundraise as per the nature of higher education, and could even initiate another campaign within five or six years, Vaughn said, although adding that there are no plans currently on the table. If such a campaign becomes a reality—and with the strategic and master plans works-in-progress, the chances are likely—Vaughn said the University has learned an important lesson with the current campaign: The whole is greater than the sum ofits parts. “Duke has worked together very well in this campaign,” he said. “We’ve shared information and prospects; we’ve communicated with donors jointly and I think we’ve found there was great strength in unity.”

As the tents begin to sink in K-Ville under the snowfall, the heat of the long standing Duke-North Carolina rivalry threatens to boil over. Monday, the women’s basketball team will take on the No. 8 Tar Heels (14-1, 4-0 in the ACC) looking to advance their undefeated season to 17-0 and 5-0 in conference play. But are the Blue Devil’s late escapes bound to catch up with them? Duke has trailed during the first minutes of the second half the past four games, pulling away wins led by Alana Beard, who finished with 29 points against Wake Forest last night. “I think I was feeling the frustration of our entire team,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said of last night’s con-

After Beard-centered year, Krapohl, Tillis step up big By this point in the season, Duke fans can probably find Alana Beard’s numbers in the women’s basketball box score without even looking for her name—the junior’s stats this season have stood out as though they had been written in bold. From her 41-point virtuoso performance against conference rival Virginia, to her leadership in early-season blowouts over the likes of Howard and Tulsa, the guard has been the No. jiKI 1 player on the No. 1 team in the land. Thursday Alana’s p j j 3 au numbers stood out once again, but it was the Game Commentary play of classmates Iciss Tillis and Vicki Krapohl that helped elevate Duke above Wake Forest, 71-61. “[lt’s] been good for us... to know that Alana doesn’t have to carry us,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said after the game. The three juniors packed most of Duke’s punch at both ends of the floor, and put the top-ranked Blue Devils ahead for most of the game against the unranked Demon Deacons. The trio combined for 53 points, 27 rebounds and 12 steals. The game opened like many of Beard’s exhibitions, with the all-American taking the ball coast-to-coast for a lay-in that opened the game’s scoring. The first few minutes ofthe contest featured the makings of what would be strong supporting play from Tillis and Krapohl.

—

With about 15 minutes left in the first

half, Krapohl took the ball at the top of the key and took a step towards the hoop that left her Demon Deacon defender prone and likely embarrassed. She then slung a pass to Beard, who laid the ball in to extend Duke’s lead to 6-4. Tillis’ multifaceted play kept the Blue

Devils ahead of Wake Forest for the first half; her scoring, passing and defense gave a credible second option to a team that has depended heavily—perhaps too much so—on Beard this season. “I don’t think our offensive balance is anywhere where we want it to be, but that’d be kind of weird if it was at this

part ofthe season,” Krapohl said. Tillis set up her teammates with perceptive play and crisp passes, but it was by capitalizing upon her own defensive play that Tillis finally got her name onto the scoreboard at Cameron. She stripped the ball from Demon Deacon center Johanna Bjorklund and passed the ball to Sheana Mosch, whose layup clanged right into Tillis’ hands. Tillis grabbed the rebound and dropped the ball through the net for her first points of the game. The basket also represented her 999th and I,oooth career points, which put her at 17th on the fist of all-time Duke scorers. The women’s basketball team squeaked out a ten-point victory in a game that was much closer than that. But, most importantly, they added a few new characters to the Alana Beard Show—a few characters whose numbers might jump out of a box score someday soon.

MARYLAND from page 11

KEVIN PENG/THE CHRONICLE

CHRIS DUHON presently leads the NCAA in assists and is eighth on Duke’s all-time list with 480.

stretch. His past defense against Williams was more than adequate and since Duhon averages less than 10 points a game, it is unlikely the Duke point guard will bust out with an enormous game in the scoring department. “It’s a huge game for us,” Blake said after the loss to Wake Forest. “Another huge game for us and we better be ready.” The battle between point guards to set the tempo of the contest could be the key factor Saturday. Duke will undoubtedly try and push the ball up and down the court to beat Maryland’s slower front court for easy layups. If Blake can contain Duhon, the NCAA leader in assists, from breaking free into open space and feeding his teammates for easy scores, the Terrapins will have the upper hand from the start. On the wings, Dahntay Jones, Duke’s top defender, will have the task of stymieing Drew Nicholas, who comes in averaging just under 19 points a game for the Terps. Although Jones’ perimeter shooting has improved lately, his best offensive

weapon against Nicholas could be his strength inside and slashing ability. The outside game for both squads will be crucial and Krzyzewski is well aware of the importance of his guards. “They’re not just a consistent lineup, they’re our base,” Krzyzewski said. “If they’re playing well, we’re pretty good. If they drop off a little bit, we drop off.” Despite all the matchups that will unfold on the court Saturday, no one can be sure of the outcome until the clock reads all zeros, just ask Steve Blake what happened two years ago when the Blue Devils came back from 10 points down in 54 seconds to win the game. Such was the game that marked Duke-Maryland as the premier rivalry in college basketball today. In any given game, either team can come out on top because of intangibles. Either way, two teams will have a great test Saturday; Duke’s freshman will have their first game against Maryland in the friendly confines of the new Comcast Center and the Terrapins will see how they react against the only undefeated team in the land.

Italian Identities Between Europe and the Mediterranean Roberto Dainotto IT 1605.01 MW 2:20-3:35 Soc Psych 128 Italian national identity has historically been beset by a persistent difficulty in putting together an industrialized and "modern" North with a largely agrarian, more "traditional" South. "Settentrionali" and "Meridionali" have insisted more on their differences than on their alleged unity and commonality. This sense of difference persists in today's Italy, in an era of domestic upheaval and uncertainty, and of international global changes.

ALANA BEARD AND ICISS ULUS dive on the floor for a loose ball against Wake Forest,

UNC from page 11 test. “We didn’t seem to be in synch with one another.” The Blue Devils will certainly need to find their rhythm for Monday night’s matchup. North Carolina is off to their best start since the 1998 season. Senior guard Coretta Brown leads the team in scoring with 15.5points per game. Brown also has strong support from three-time ACC rookie of the week LaTangela Atkinson who has been averaging 11 points and 7 rebounds per game. As Duke struggled to finish off the Demon Deacons last night, the Tar Heels were busy demolishing Clemson, dealing them a 77-55 loss. North Carolina was carried by another talented Tar Heel, Candace Sutton, who finished with 15 points. While her statistics may lack a certain Alana-esque ridiculousness, she is part of a more balanced offensive unit that has been able to put 70-plus points on the scoreboard against good teams. Additionally, North Carolina holds a

much more impressive record than Wake Forest—not to mention more talent—and the Duke offense will need to step up in order to pull away this time. The Blue Devils will have to lean on its other junior stars if it wants to remain undefeated. Junior guard Vicki Rrapohl has a 47.9 three-point field goal percentage and Iciss Tillis finished the Wake Forest game with her fifth doubledouble ofthe season. Still, Tillis put up 13 points, only trailing Beard who racked up 16. Tillis’ increasingly conspicuous presence on the court, however, does hint at some sort of reviving of Duke’s offensive prowess. “I have really been focusing on my rebounding,” Tillis said. “Sometimes when you concentrate on one aspect of your game, some other aspects might tend to go down. I'm not really worried about my scoring. It will come naturally.” “I think offensively we're sort of out of whack,” Beard said. “We're out there on the court sometimes, and it's like we've never played together. I think we just need to settle things down and take it one play at a time.”

Cheating on the rise

The

recent revelation that undergraduate cases of cheating increased dramatically last semester says, all at once, both very little and a whole lot. The Undergraduate Judicial Board heard 26 cases of academic dishonesty last semester, most ofthem related to final exams. This is an increase from 15 to 20 cases per semester in recent years. But it. is an increase from only 12 cases during the entire 1999-2000 academic year, when much of the current discussion about honor and integrity in academics became prominent. That discussion has included numerous forums, information sessions and campus surveys, finally resulting in a “new” honor code known as the Duke Community Standard; the standard is largely the same as the current code and will take effect in the fall semester. Meanwhile, the reality after years of promoting academic integrity is more cases, either because students are cheating more or because professors are more aware of what constitutes plagiarism, reporting cases that in the past might have slipped by. A 1999 survey of University students and faculty members found that 72 percent ofprofessors report a “low” or “very low” understanding of the student judicial code. If that has changed over the last three years because of greater discussion or the work of the Academic Integrity Council—and future surveys will hopefully investigate that—then the administration can consider its efforts at least a partial success. Then again, students are still cheating. The same 1999 survey found that half of students admitted to some form of academic dishonesty, and judicial affairs administrators have said that claims of ignorance are as prevalent now as ever. More education could certainly help, and administrators should take another look at how they teach students to avoid plagiarism. Ultimately, the goal of such education should be a culture change—students should ideally live and work in an environment where everyone knows what cheating is and professors have the tools to find and punish those who do cheat. In this sense—laying out expectations and educating students —an honor code or community standard can be very useful. What administrators should not do is think they will be able to use the new Duke Community Standard to create an abstract sense of trust or honor among students. Such personal traits are certainly worthy, but they do not come from having all students —whether they are honorable or not—signing a piece of paper or reading a sign on a wall. Duke students are exceptionally bright, but there is little to suggest they are exceptionally trustworthy or more honorable than anyone else. The University should hold steady to its current course of educating faculty members and students about the importance of academic integrity.

ited, we are fortunate enough to have a great private backing and manage to pay for lots of great stuff through fundraising efforts. For example, our new jerseys, made by OT Sports, are of the same quality as those worn by the Duke mens’ basketball team, if not better. Currently, our record is 6-7 (3-4 ACC) and the team is going strong with about 30 players. On Oct. 19th, the Devils played Georgia Tech in Atlanta’s Philips Arena—home ofthe NBAs Hawks and

Yes, I realize that the article was meant as a joke, but judging from the confused questions my friends have asked me such as, “Why is the team starting a large block of wood in net over you?” I think Goodman failed miserably and a clarification is necessary. The truth is that the club ice hockey team is one of the most organized and well-run club sports at Duke. While funding from the school is lim-

the NHL’s Thrashers—in front of over 1,000 fans. And the team is looking forward to

playing in Lexington’s Rupp Arena on February 17 against the Wildcats of Kentucky, whose average attendance this season has been 7,500. At home, despite our tireless efforts to find a frozen pond to play on in the tundra that is North Carolina, we have been forced to retreat to the Triangle Sportsplex in Hillsborough, where the team enjoys a private locker room. Join us there for our next home game on Saturday, Jan. 25, against Virginia Tech at 6:00 p.m.

Drive for wealth creation produces great benefits Sorry Ben Dalton, but your attempt in the letter to the editor to repudiate any of Ayn Rand’s “propaganda” with and meaningless unproven mysticism is futile. God is just about as sacred to me as the Loch Ness Monster. There is nothing more important to me than my rights, and nothing more sacred to me than the protection of that which I have worked to gain and keep (my wealth). If I spend a few hours in the library researching the stock market you so sarcastically praise, and earn more than you do in an entire month... am I not a smarter man than you?

The U.S. practices humility abroad? Think again

I find it quite comical that during the presidential election two years ago, George W. Bush told an auditorium filled with Americans and millions of viewers watching at home that one of his main foreign policy goals if elected was to make America more “humble” in its foreign policy relations. I was pleased with Bush’s declaration; the only problem—like with his Amir father before him— Mokari Bush cannot keep campaign promises. Over the last six Beep Beep Beep! months, the Bush administration has been fighting to get the world to support an Americanled invasion of Iraq. United Nations inspectors working in Iraq have been searching to find whether Saddam Hussein truly has an active weapons program. The world waits until chief inspector Hans Blix delivers his dossier on Jan. 28 either incriminating Hussein or proving Hussein’s

against the United States or maybe to sell them to a terrorist group. Vice President Dick Cheney explained this is the main reason the United States is willing to enter a war halfway around the world. Sounds pretty reasonable, right? On the surface it might sound appealing, but it’s only an empty explanation with neither compelling evidence nor logic. The fact is that the Bush administration gives no solid proof that implicates Iraq as a serious military threat or as linked to al Qaeda and the Sept. 11 attacks. With our superior satellite technology and covert capabilities, it seems difficult to believe that Hussein has been able to hide huge nuclear facilities, conceal weapons transactions between Iraq and other rogue states and covertly buy biological and chemical weapons components that only certain groups in the world have and that are monitored constantly by intelligence agencies. As far as we can prove, Hussein doesn’t have weapons of mass destruction. Why are we assuming the worst case scenario?

Unfortunately, many assert that either way an American-led invasion is likely to occur. For a war that has

immense costs and risks incurred by entering in a military engagement in such a volatile region of the world, one must decide whether this is an overreaction. Moreover, if it seems unjust to us, it will probably seem even more evil to the rest of the world; I’m sure that Osama bin Laden would love for nothing more than an American overreaction, thrusting America into what can be construed as a war against Islam. This would fuel more terrorist attacks and toss the war into chaos and more instability. The American people need to hear the whole truth and a more detailed analysis of why our government feels

innocence.

received so much skepticism domestically as well as abroad (with most countries denouncing the war as unjust and unwise for global security), one must ask why our government is so adamant about going to war and whether is our cause just? Let’s set the groundwork. The Bush administration maintains that Iraq is an intolerable threat to the United

States’ national security. They contend that Iraq is developing weapons of mass destruction and that Hussein intends to use them in a first strike

Introducing the Duke players

So I’m back at Duke and life on campus is in its normal state of affairs. Tenters are wearing 8.6 layers of clothing and telling anyone who will listen just how cold it is outside; there are enormous stray cats roaming the campus day and night; Bill Burig and Larry Moneta are still in stiff competition for the title of most hated man at Duke. But best has been getting to see the Wlach Duke characters once again. I’m referring to jheY the ,six or, so stereotypes D , Perspective n oi students that some ot our peers willingly fulfill. It’s these kids—the Duke players—that make campus a demented version of The Real World. The roles are not embodied by the majority ofstudents, but those who take them on definitely add a little spice to everyday events. Some of these characters we love, others we love to hate. And so, for lack of an intellectually challenging topic this week, here’s my little character summary. These are Duke’s soap opera wannabes. The 90210 girl. She is the quintessential social climber, the girl whose goal is to be invited to every “good” fraternity formal and date function. You know her from your freshman dorm or your writing class and she makes a point to yell out your name on campus only when she wants the people around you to know she’s there. Desperate to be loved by all, t

she’ll spend the night dancing with Mends, then trash them all in the bathroom at George’s just because it’s what the other people are doing. A “real winner,” as my grandmother would say, the 90210 girl doesn’t smile in pictures—oh no—she pouts her lips and blows kisses because apparently she is a sexpot. If only we all could live in the delusional world where the sun rises and sets for us at the Beverly Hills Country Club. The Frat Guy. This is not my shoutout to all boys bearing Greek letters. It refers to the one guy in every fraternity who lives and dies for it. He has to have the best costume at each mixer; he’s on a first name basis with the staff at Thrift World. He’s the nice guy who works the social circuit and is always willing to get something started on a lull evening. He’s somewhat of a Peter Pan, but we all know what the future holds for the frat guy. He’s going to be the father who embarrasses his kids. He’ll dress as the mascot at little league games, he’ll scream the loudest, cheesiest cheers from the stands. But just like we do, those kids will have no choice, but to love him. The Face Jock. There are a handful of guys in each year who play the heartthrob. He’s just got that look and decent game to match. This guy never has to worry about meeting people because freshman girls flock to him like crackheads to a dealer. Only problem with the face jock: he’s all face. If you actually spend more than five minutes with the

guy, you start to question his ability to spell or even speak full sentences. And then there are his embarrassing habits—like wetting the bed while intoxicated—that just take away from his ohso-gorgeous features. So, the grand lesson with this one: Sometimes the best part of the book is its cover. Drunk Hos with the 4.0. 1 honestly do not know how these women do it. They go out every night, they are always fall down drunk, and yet they manage to with be Phi Beta Kappa a bio/chem/physics triple major. God bless this type of girl because she lives like a rockstar. On Wednesday night she’s slurring her words and hitting on the toothless bouncers at Shooters; but come Thursday morning she is taking notes like Jessie Spano. The genius alcoholic spends her life at the edge and sometimes she crashes, but it’s only temporary. Soon enough she’ll be back, doing all sorts of nastiness on the dance floor with her guy o’ the night. The Pseudo Intellectual. He is the kid who always has something to say in lecture. However, his eagerness in the classroom is not the problem; the issue is the fact that what he offers has nothing to do with the course. This is the kid who is super knowledgeable about one and only one topic and attempts to make it relevant to all classes. Hard as he tries to come off smart, the pseudo intellectual doesn’t realize that Alexander Hamilton’s financial genius isn’t relevant to cell bio. He doesn’t quite get that

no one cares about mollusks in PPS 55, It will not impress the professor and it sure as hell won’t get you the ladies. The Freshman Dorm Hermit. Each dorm on East Campus had at least one kid who did not believe in human interaction. She would not make eye contact or speak to fellow dormmates. The only sightings of this recluse was when he would be leaving for class, meals or trips to the restroom. The odd behavior of these students sparked rumors of parents sold on the Russian black market for high performance calculators. These are no nonsense, academic obsessed students. And make no mistakes—if your dorm’s version of 800 Radley should need the last shower she would elbow you out of the way with a grunt and a look that can only be interpreted as “you best be steppin’.” So there they are, the best ensemble cast this school has to offer. We may

laugh and joke about the stereotypes, but in the end we possess a little bit of each of them in us. We’re all going through the motions and trying to get the most out of these four years. My experiences would not have been the same without these stereotypes; Duke wouldn’t be Duke without these stereotypes. And for that, you appreciate the students for who they are and realize they help to make this point in our lives complete.

We want to remind everyone about the bonfire policy we established several years ago, which will again govern this year’s activities. The victory celebrations following big games in recent years have been what we have all hoped for, and ones in which the Duke community could take pride.

The same rules will remain in effect this year and, with your cooperation, we will continue to celebrate our victories safely and enthusiastically. In keeping with this goal, we remind you of some key concerns:

1. The University will obtain City permits for four potential bonfires, on the days of men’s home games against North Carolina (February 5) and Maryland (February 19), and the Women’s and Men’s National Championship Games (April 7 and 8). The first permitted basketball bonfire is Wednesday, February 5. 2. Bonfires on any other days will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution. 3. The City Fire Marshall asks that everyone stay at least 10 feet away from the fire.

4. Please keep stacked benches to a reasonable height (not more than three) and do not climb on top. The tragedy at Texas A & M a few years ago provides ample evidence why. 5. If you carry a beverage, please use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad. 6. Do not sit or stand on building roofs.

7. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game. Refrain from using dorm furniture as fuel for a bonfire.

8. The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited. 9. The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. Any fires that are started outside of this area will be considered illegal and dealt with at the discretion of the City Fire Marshall and Duke University Police. The City Fire Marshall has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is now a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.
