Next year’s housing plan will not be much different from the one that provoked an outpouring of student anger last year, Assistant Dean of Residence Life Bill Burig revealed at Thursday’s Campus Council meeting. The plan features changes to the lottery process geared toward ensuring that seniority continues to be a factor in housing, but it also allows other factors to influence the lottery through revisions to the point-based system. The lottery process has been altered from the past system of assigning point values from one to four based on class;

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

Many of Duke’s finest undergraduates spend a good part of their semesters abroad in far-flung corners of the world, worrying about where they are going to get their next drinks. And so it goes with senior Brady Beecham, except that her drinking—of water—is turning into her senior thesis. Beecham’s trip last fall to Urucurea—a Brazilian rainforest village “just” six hours by boat from the nearest medium-sized town—will form the backbone of her thesis on drinking water quality in developing countries. “No roads, no electricity, no beds—very different from the Gothic Wonderland,” said the biology and environmental science and policy double major. “I slept in a hammock and cooked by candlelight. I’ve never been further from home than that little town.” Despite the hardships, Beecham said life abroad provided a much needed reprieve after her work as the Duke University Union president last year, as

Despite some European opposition, Powell remains confident in allied support By TODD PURDUM

New York Times News Service

Despite the WASHINGTON deepest diplomatic rift in decades with some major European allies, a parade

of top Bush administration officials

closed ranks Thursday and demanded in closely parallel speeches and statements that Saddam Hussein disarm Iraq. They insisted that the United States would not have to act alone if war should be needed to force him. “I don’t think we’ll have to worry about going it alone,” Secretary of State Colin Powell said at a meeting here with Foreign Secretary Jack Straw of Britain, Washington’s most stalwart ally, brushing aside renewed opposition to war from France and Germany.

As resistance to military action appeared to harden among members of the UN. Security Council, a senior administration official acknowledged that it did not now have the votes to force a second resolution explicitly authorizing an attack, and Powell said it was “an open question” whether to

seek one. The top administration officials—hawks and former doves alike—argued that it was up to Iraq to turn over its weapons to UN. inspectors and not the job of the inspectors to ferret them out or find a “smoking gun.” They warned that Saddam was balking and that time was running out. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul

Wolfowitz, in a speech to the Council

on Foreign Relations in Manhattan, said “we know from multiple sources that Saddam has ordered that any scientist who cooperates” in interviews with weapons inspectors “will be killed, as well as their families.” A top Iraqi official said Thursday that scientists had refused to be interviewed, rejecting a central UN. demand. Wolfowitz said that Saddam was making no serious effort to disarm, unlike regimes in South Africa, the Ukraine and Kazakhstan, which gave up their nuclear weapons in the 1990s in response to international pressure. No sooner had he spoken than Hans Blix, the chief UN. weapons inspector, also cited South Africa in unflattering

Palestinian gunmen kill 3 Israeli citizens By NASSER SHIYOUKHI The Associated Press

HEBRON, Israel Palestinian gunmen opened fire Thursday on three Israelis walking near a settlement in the West Bank, killing all of them, witnesses and rescue officials said. Hours later, Israeli helicopters fired at least five missiles at targets in Gaza City, while tanks also shelled targets, witnesses said. The Israeli military would say only that an operation was in progress. It was not immediately clear what the targets were in the early Friday attack. One Palestinian was wounded in exchanges of fire with Israeli soldiers during the tank incursion, hospital officials said. Palestinians said he was a civilian. The West Bank shootings occurred at the Beit Haggai

intersection near a settlement in the Hebron hills. It came just five days before Israelis vote for a new government. The militant Islamic Hamas group took responsibility, issuing a leaflet saying the shooting was retaliation for attacks by Israeli settlers and the military against Palestinians and their property in the city of Hebron, known as a Hamas stronghold. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who is running for reelection with a policy of harsh military reprisals against Palestinians following violence, is favored over his dovish opponent, Amram Mitzna, who favors negotiations with the Palestinians. In the past, Palestinian attacks on the eve of Israeli elections have helped hard-line parties like Sharon’s Likud, galvanizing Israeli fears of terror attacks and desires for reprisals.

Joe Pietrantoni looks back on 33 years of service to the University By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

While many people scurried through the snow Thursday morning, Joe Pietrantoni sat in his West Union Building basement office chatting with a reporter, interrupted only once. Chuck Catotti, director of Event Management, poked his head in to get the Auxiliary Services baron’s permission to let a student assistant into President Nan Keohane’s office until the president’s executive secretary could make it to campus. “Sure,” Pietrantoni said. “Procedure,” he explained a few seconds later, before going back to the interview. Pietrantoni, or more accurately, “Joe Piet,” has been at the heart of University procedure for the past 33 years—from his cost-recovery mantra of“quality product, quality service, competitive prices” to his trademark “hello, friend” salutation. Starting off as an assistant director of facilities management in 1970, the 65-year-old Pietrantoni will

It’s no wonder that in a letter announcing Pietrantoni’s retirement and the subsequent reorganization of Auxiliary Services, Executive Vice President Tailman Trask wrote that Pietrantoni is simply irreplaceable. “Some things could be better, but I feel good about Auxiliary Services,” Pietrantoni said. “The Auxiliaries of the future will stay strong, but it’s time for someone else to pack it up and carry it to its future.” Looking back at his career in an interview, Pietrantoni continued to sell his accomplishments much like he has sold so many concepts over the years—the largest card system in the country, more dining options and vendors than any other campus, No. 1 in per

Colleagues worry over BAA cuts Anthropologists from other well-known departments said the potential downsizing of Duke’s BAA faculty would hurt the field. By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Amid recent discussions of cutting up to two-thirds of the faculty positions in the Department of Biological An-

thropology and Anatomy, scholars across the nation agreed this week that Duke’s research in the field is top-notch and they expressed shock at the

planned downsizing. “Duke has probably one of the top three or four strongest programs, in terms ofits strength in BAA,” said Frederick Grine, chair and professor of the anthropology department at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, itself a top program. “I saw [an] article [about BAA] in The Chronicle yesterday,” Grine added. “I was flabbergasted when I saw it, because Duke has one of the strongest programs in anthropology in the nation. If it had been any other university in the nation, it wouldn’t faze me. This was

ridiculous.” Tab Rasmussen, professor of anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, noted that Duke’s strength in BAA comes from its expertise in several areas—including research at Duke’s Primate Center, tropical ecology and its collection and research of early fossils. “One of the reasons you get to be a top-ranked program is you do more than one thing,” Rasmussen said. “That’s one very important aspect about

Online registration, off-campus groups alter rush IFC fraternity presidents say changes have improved rush, but that it remains mostly the same By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle Pi Kappa Alpha erupted its peak, Sigma Nu toasted in its new year and Delta Sigma Phi boogied the night away. With last weekend’s annual theme parties, recruitment for Interfraternity Council fraternities is well underway—only a little different from previous years.

Recruitment was officially launched in early January when the fraternities hosted open houses. IFC officials said the number of potential members who signed up both online and in person is comparable to the past, but final statistics will not be available until the first week of February, after bids are distributed. “It’s right at 500 people, which is within plus or minus a dozen from last year,” said IFC President Jeremy Morgan. “We had people sign up online, and a lot ofpeople who went to open houses that didn’t sign-up online. We had people sign-up online... [if they hadn’t signed-up online previously].” Some fraternity presidents said, however, that they have seen more students rush this year. “Our numbers are up considerably,” said Elliot Silver, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon, which will have housing for the first time next year. “We tried really hard in the fall to do lot of programming to get our name out there in a constructive manner.” This was the first year students could sign up electronically, but many mistakenly believed signing-up online meant they did not have to attend the open houses. “There are a few kinks that need to be ironed out. There was questions of once they had signed up online, they thought they did not need to come to open houses,” said Theta Chi President Joel Yancey. “But you still needed to so the fraternity could know for more certain

and can fulfill the newly-enforced three-year on-campus mandate for all undergraduates. “One thing that our whole fraternity really prides itself on is having a section and common living space,” said Dave Brisske, president of Sigma Nu. “We’re not discouraging rushees from rushing off-campus fraternities, but we’re stressing the on-campus aspect by having them spend time in section and seeing the benefits it has to offer.” Others said off-campus fraternity members lose an essence of being in a fraternity without official University housing. “It doesn’t matter how big your off-campus house is. You can’t fit all your guys in it,” said Fleming, a senior. “Most ofthe guys in KA put a lot of emphasis on being

able to bring your lunch home from class and lounge around [in section] together.... You can always find a place to hang out.” Fraternity brothers also said the ability to have section parties distinguishes them in another way from off-campus fraternities. Although regulated and monitored, they said section parties offer many positive aspects. “Anyone can show up, you don’t have to worry about drinking and driving, or the real police coming,” Fleming said. “While they say the administration is totally cracking down on us, it’s better to deal with the Duke police than the Durham police. There are insurance policies that can protect us ifthings go wrong. Off-campus fraternities could be liable.”

who they had.” Fraternity leaders agreed students would not be penalized if they missed the open houses. “If a guy signed up online, we’d recognize that they still want to rush [even if they did! not go to section sign-ups,” said Carlton Fleming, president of Kappa Alpha Order, adding that they had 230 students signup. “It’s a result of being the first year.” Potential fraternity members this year are choosing between rushing distinctly on- and off-campus fraternities, and most fraternity leaders agreed many freshmen are interested in both types of fraternities. “The people we are cross-rushing with has stayed the same. We always cross rush with other fraternities, [namely the former] SAE and Kappa Sig,” said Joe Elliott, president ofDelta Sig. “The off-campus phenomena hasn’t changed anything.” Other fraternity leaders said the objective of IFC rush is not to show the strength of on-campus fraternities and the weakness off-campus fraternities but rather to show the merits of fraternity life and brotherhood. As on-campus fraternities attempt to attract potential members, presidents said their fraternities boast residential living environments where brothers can interact with students from different academic years

Academic Council approves athletics vision Faculty also discuss potential reorganization of committees governing University priorities By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

The Academic Council unanimously passed the University’s new vision statement for the future ofDuke athletics Thursday, sending it to the Board of Trustees for final approval in May. The Policy Statement on Intercollegiate Athletics at Duke, released to the council in November, advocates a sustained commitment to athletics. It is the first policy statement on intercollegiate athletics in nearly 20 years. It called for a more pragmatic approach to athletics—concentrating on a few key sports that Duke would try to improve with facilities, admissions and other forms of support. The discussion continued a dialogue that began at the council’s November meeting, and only one faculty member spoke Thursday. Earl Dowell, professor of mechanical engineering and material sciences, noted the statement’s lack of emphasis on admissions standards in light of a mission statement released last September suggesting more admissions leeway for football players.

“ln press reports, the burning question was admissions standards, and this resolution appears to be silent on the subject,” Dowell said. President Nan Keohane responded by referring Dowell to a section in the policy statement addressing that subject, adding that the University would not “lower standards.” Following the vote, George B. Keller Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry John Simon presented a plan to reorganize two faculty governance committees—the Academic Priorities Committee and the President’s Advisory Committee on Resources—into the proposed University Priorities Committee and the Academic Programs Committee. The committees had been functioning ineffectively, Simon said, due to poor communication, ill-defined responsibilities and lack of accountability. Whereas the previous roles of the committees had been academic and budgetary—the old APC and PACOR,

respectively—the proposed system would create a single committee to ad-

dress both these issues—the UPC—and another to focus solely on the development of academic departments and programs—the new APC. According to the proposal, the old APC was not effectively determining academic priorities because it spent the majority of its time on external reviews of academic departments. The new APC is designed to focus solely on these external reviews and other departmental issues, passing priorities-related issues onto the UPC. The UPC would address the full range of intellectually-driven priorities in terms of budgets and other major issues. This new committee would report to the president, and give regular presentations to the Academic Council in the fall and spring to update the faculty on the progress ofits work. Richard Burton, a professor in the Fuqua School of Business, questioned the efficacy of separating academic programs from budgetary issues—as would be done under the proposed system—since programs frequently require con-

sideration of the budget. In response, Simon admitted that there was no perfect solution, but he said a provision requiring the chair of the new APC to be a member of the UPC would enable easy communication between the committees for overlapping issues. Associate Professor of Cell Biology Blanche Capel added that the UPC would have a better perspective by being able to examine the budget overall, rather than being immersed in individual departments. IN OTHER BUSINESS: The final presentation on Thursday’s agenda was a statistical report by the Faculty Compensation Committee on salary equity. Michael Lavine, associate professor of statistics, presented the report and revealed there was no statistical significance to salary variations at the University. “The short story is, there are no big and obvious, glaring inequities by sex or race,” Lavine said. He added, however, that he was “not at all” sure whether the data were valid or useful, owing to the nature of the analysis.

Cases of flu, other illnesses afflict student body By WHITNEY ROBINSON The Chronicle

“Imagine your head is a balloon and it’s floating away,” said April Mims, a junior, describing the sensation caused by two Sudafed tablets she took Wednesday night to combat her flu symptoms. It’s that time of year again. Jean Hanson, assistant director of the Duke Student Health Center, said although she does not have exact numbers, in the past weeks she has treated a larger than normal number of students. Ailments range from the common cold to the flu to gastrointestinal illness, she said. Mims, a Craven Quadrangle resident, said while she is reluctant to take prescription medication, she eventually succumbed after her symptoms became too much. At least 75 percent of people on her hall are sick, she said. “I think the problem is the heaters [in the dorms] make the air very dry,” she said, adding that the work-

load of a new semester does not help either. Hanson said the cold weather forces people to stay inside more, and that, as a result of the close contact,

On East Campus, the diagnosis is just as grim. Rondy Elliott, a nurse at the East Campus Wellness Center, said that she saw 19 different students Thursday, most of them freshmen. Nine of her 19 patients had full blown flu, the virus influenza. She added that none of the students had received a flu shot. “Particularly with [sorority] rush going on, people are in rooms and close up talking to one another,” she said. However, she has seen an equal number of men and women. “If they’re going to get it, they’re going to get it because the virus is prevalent,” Elliott said. She added that while some students are going to classes, she has given out a lot of dean’s excuses. She stressed that with all the social events currently going on at Duke, including tenting at Krzyzewskiville, students should make sure they are eating right, dressing warmly and getting plenty of rest. “[Tenting] doesn’t help,” Hanson said, laughing.

illnesses spread more easily. Most students she has seen complain of fever, aches and pains. Her prescription includes plenty of rest, gargling with salt water, and most importantly, washing hands frequently with soap and water, as well as keeping them away from your face. She said, though, that most students are trying to make it to class. Aarash Haghighat, a sophomore living in Kilgo Quadrangle, complained of a sore throat, fever and a lot of coughing. “I had to leave two of my classes because I was coughing too much,” he said. He added that while he is very tired, his regimen for getting better consists of solely over-the-counter medication. He said the long walk to the Health Center deterred him from seeking strong treatment.

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

Edwards’ pollution amendment fails U.S. Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., saw his pollution-control amendment fall short in a 50-46 vote Wednesday. The amendment sought to keep the Bush administration from enacting new rules, which Edwards argued will lead to increased pollution from industrial plants. The regulations, which are scheduled to go into effect in March, allow plant owners greater flexibility when installing pollution controls if they expand their operations. Edwards wanted to put the rules on hold until a nonpartisan study—examining the impact of pollution on the environment—is completed next fall. “I’m not giving up this fight,” Edwards said after the vote. “We’re going to bring this up again because I think we can stop them from weakening the Clean Air Act and putting people’s lives at risk.” Edwards’ colleague, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, RN.C., was among those who voted against the amendment. Instead, Dole voted in favor of a GOP alternative that call for an additional study but does not delay the implementation of the rules in the meantime. Molly Diggins, president of the North Carolina chapter ofthe Sierra Club, said she was disappointed in Dole’s actions. “This was her first big environmental vote,” Diggins said. “She did not vote in favor of clean air.”

The initial pre-trial hearing in the case against the coach—which lingered for three years while a judge was deciding whether to dismiss it—will map out a schedule to allow lawyers from both sides to demand documents and to question witnesses under oath. “It is some significant progress,” said Marvin Schiller, a Raleigh attorney representing the two previous soccer players Melissa Jennings and Debbie Keller. “I assume that a trial date will be set and there will be deadlines.”

In August 1998, Jennings and Keller filed the $l2 million lawsuit in Chicago. Both women contend that Dorrance sexually harassed them by asking questions about their sex lives and the sexual activities of their teammates. Keller further alleges that Dorrance made unwanted phone calls and physical contact, which amounted to assault and battery. Dorrance denied abusing his position in any way.

Fort Bragg soldiers to deploy to Persian Gulf Officials announced Tuesday the 325 Airborne Infantry Regiment of the 82 Airborne Division will be deployed from Fort Bragg to the Persian Gulf. These additional 4,000 paratroopers and 1,000 soldiers will join fellow North Carolina troops who are also being deployed for Afghanistan. These other troops including more than 14,000 marines from Camp Lejeune, jet fighters from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, 328 soldiers and 24 attack helicopters of the North Carolina National Guard and an unknown number of soldiers sent by the Army’s Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg. The Army did not announce when the soldiers will leave or where they will go. A total of 7,000 soldiers already departed last week on seven amphibious assault ships from the Wilmington state port.

State sees sharp increase in AIDS cases The number of AIDS cases in North Carolina increased dramatically in 2002 with 1,014 new cases reported last year, state health officials said Wednesday. The report showed that for the first time, over 1,000 cases were reported in a single year since 1994 and marked a 16 percent increase from 871 cases that were reported in 2001. “This epidemic is not under control,” said Dr. Leah Devlin, the state health director. “We’re moving in the wrong director with respect to new reports. The South has more persons living with AIDS than other geographic areas of the nation. North Carolina is part of this trend.” Devlin pointed to a lack of access to sufficient health care, which can lead to the blind spreading of infection, and highlighted the closing of the AIDS Drug Assistance Program as reasons for the increase. ADAP provides HIV and AIDS drugs to people who are unable afford them, but was closed to new enrollees because ofbudget constraints and a long waiting list. About 665 people were moved from the waiting list into the program in November 2002, but more than 175 people remain on the list.

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

ASSISTANT DEAN OF RESIDENCE LIFE BILL BURIG speaks to Campus Council Thursday night about plans for this year’s room selection process. Among the changes will be a new point system that encourages returning to the same quad and allows seniors who have not lived on West Campus to do so.

HOUSING PLAN,™ page 1 Council President Andrew Nurkin The new system aims to satisfy seniors who have never lived on West Campus by offering them the highest priority in the lottery. Moreover, for rising sophomores, requesting linked housing

with the rest of their freshman dorm will increase their odds of getting their rooms of choice. In the case of requested roommate pairings, the roommates’ point values will be averaged. Those who end up with the same point values are random-

ly ordered.

In another change, all rooms and

apartments—except for three-bedroom apartments on Central Campus—will now be offered for lottery selection simultaneously. Students will not have separate lotteries for different campuses. A common complaint from last spring’s lottery dealt with the decision to reserve some single rooms for sophomores at the expense ofjuniors and sen-

BAA CUTS from page 3 the Duke BAA research group and the Primate Center research group.”

The BAA department’s December 2000 external review found that to be

the case as well. “BAA continues to attract the finest applicants in the field and has produced some of the brightest and most productive young scholars in the business,” the reviewers wrote. “It is singularly the case that Duke has enjoyed historically—for at least two decades—a position of leadership in biological anthropology. The names of Cartmill, Glander, Kay, Hylander, Simons and van Schaik are recognized internationally and this consortium of diverse interests... has contributed major advances in our understanding of the

organismal biology and evolution of primates.”

iors. Some administrators later criticized the decision, calling it a mistake, and the lottery has been changed this year. West Campus singles will no longer be reserved for sophomores. Aside from changes to the housing lottery, most key provisions of the housing plan will remain the same, as was expected. The requirement to live on campus for three years remains in effect, all sophomores will continue to be housed on West Campus and sophomores will only be allowed to request block housing with other sophomores. The location of selective living groups off the Main West quad will remain unaltered. “This is a transitional period for both

students and the administration,” said

sophomore Kate Hansen, an ad hoc member of Campus Council. “They’re trying to get the greatest number of stu-

dents their first choice and to minimize the chance that students feel like they are left without options. I think all of us are trying to work through our options and it’s a complex process.” Next year’s plan does not feature any Yoder said. “But I’d say their reputation is absolutely tops in physical biology. I don’t think there’s any that’s better.” Yoder, who said her emphasis has shifted more toward biology than anthropology at Yale, noted the field of an-

thropology is alive and well. “I have recently participated in a couple of workshops at the National Science Foundation where there’s been a lot of excitement and a lot of energy going into thinking about human origins and approaching human origins from all the various elements of human biology” she said. “I do think there’s going to be quite a renaissance for physical anthropology in particular.” Grine said that the relation of evolution to genomics is one ofthe most en vogue topics of contemporary research, but that the desire for knowledge about human origins would forever be compelling.

“People are naturally interested in Anne Yoder, associate professor of where we came from and who we are,” ecology and evolutionary biology at Yale he said. “In that sense, it plays a vitally University, earned her doctorate from important role because there aren’t too Duke and recently was asked to vie for many places that are asking questions a faculty position here as well. at the same level that the people at “Obviously I’m going to have a bias Duke are....

changes to the linked housing system that assigns rising sophomores, if they

choose, to housing based on their freshman dorms. The decision is likely to disappoint Southgate Dormitory residents, who will continue to have a remote location next year when they are linked to Edens Quadrangle. “The linking is still up in the air. It will take several years to figure out whether this builds the type of community that we are looking for,” Nurkin said. “The current system is less than ideal, but giving it another year to take root is probably wise.” Campus Council members said that, while the plan was not perfect, it was at least a step in the right direction. “This is the first step in a long process. The plan that is in place for next year is pretty similar to this year’s plan,” Nurkin said. “It is the job ofCampus Council and the administration to come up with a plan that will meet all the demands ofthe student body.” Burig declined to comment further following Thursday night’s meeting.

that is stronger at some [schools], but then you can’t do everything.” Rasmussen said that in the future, collections of fossils, such as the one built at Duke by Elwyn Simons, James B. Duke professor of BAA, may take on contextual importance as scientists begin to glean information from the human genome. “Sometimes you’ll hear people say, ‘Now that we’ve got the genes, we don’t need the fossils,’” Rasmussen said. “But even ifyou’ve got the gene, it doesn’t tell you what ancestors looked like, where they lived and what they ate.” While Rasmussen noted the future importance of Duke’s fossils, Grime pointed to the Primate Center’s unique research role for anthropologists worldwide. “It’s remarkable to me, because this is a world-renowned institution and it has some of the best people in the world working in the field, and a facility that is utilized not only by the people at Duke, but other primatologists and biological anthropologists,” he said. “To see these things either downsized or potentially lost would be a tremendous blow in the field to this country.”

BEECHAM from page 1 well as valuable lessons and preparation for what she hopes will be her next big project: young trustee. “Going to Brazil was as far away as I can imagine anywhere on earth being,” said Beecham, one of this year’s three finalists for a spot on the University’s Board of Trustees. “And it let me see that the rest of the world faces questions and limitations that are totally different from student organizations at Duke, but also that the skills you need to solve all these problems are similar.” But does a comprehensive understanding of water resources in the developing world really help prepare someone for sitting on one of Duke’s most power-

ful and exclusive decision-making bodies? Beecham seems to think so. “I would say I’m not an ideologue. I’m a real pragmatist. Part of that comes from being a Midwesterner, the other part comes from my scientific background,” the Nebraska native said. “I think that distinguishes me from the other candidates, and I think it gives me a different perspective.” Beecham cited applied research as one of the major issues facing the Board of Trustees in the next three years, including controversial decisions on biomedical ethics, stem-cell research, pharmaceuticals and intellectual research. Those who have worked with Beecham in the past say that it is her initiative and energy that will make her an important member of the Board and

AUXILIARY SERVICES f om paB e i ,

will be broadened and deepened.”

Campus Services, under a new vice president who will likely be hired this spring, will include FMD, as well as housekeeping, parking and transportation and campus security. Catherine Reeve, director of parking and transportation, said the departments that will fall under Campus Services are those applicable to the entire Duke community—from students to staff to faculty. She added that she thought parking would continue to be a cost-recovery operation that would support itself financially. “The money we collect from our customers has to go back into the services we’re providing,” Reeve said. “I think that’s how it works at most universities and how it will continue to work here.” The scaled-back Auxiliary Services will be headed by Paul Davies, the current finance director, of Auxiliary Services, who will report not to Trask, but to Vice President for Financial Services Michael Mandl. Davies will oversee Duke University Stores, Dining Services, Event Management, postal operations and

a reliable representative of Duke’s undergraduate population. As Union president her junior year, Beecham worked to increase its presence on East Campus and to revitalize the West Campus social scene, while creating such Union trademarks as “Midnight Movies.” “She had a sense of fun and energy, and she successfully motivated others to become involved in the Union,” said Sue Coon, who worked closely withBeecham as director of the Office of Student Activities. “She’s very forthright, very energetic, and she handles herself well both with her peers and her administrators.” Coon said Beecham’s aggressive personality will make her a die-hard voice for students on the Board of Trustees. Some of the issues that will demand such representation, Beecham said, are

the transaction processing components of the DukeCard system, and will work more closely with the Division of Student Affairs. Parts of event management will be transferred to Student Affairs. “If you look at the components, we’re the ones that are really integrated,” Davies said. “We are really the units that really make Auxiliaries tick, if you will. The components that are here, we all felt were critical to stay together.” Davies said the new version of Auxiliary Services will have a budget of $75 million, less than Auxiliary Services’ current $lO6 million. Some had speculated that Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta could assume responsibility for Dining Services, one of the most profitable elements of Auxiliary Services. Dining was among Moneta’s duties as an associate vice president for campus life at the University of Pennsylvania before coming to Duke. “Larry is one of just a few people in student affairs who’s ever run anything. He’s got operating experience,” Trask said. “I’m not going to let Larry set the menu, but he’ll get to talk to them.” Trask noted that although Dining Services will not follow Event Advising into Student Affairs, Moneta will

still take on a collaborative role in dining, as well as stores and the DukeCard system, especially as Moneta gears up to renovate most student social space. Jim Wulforst, director of Dining Services, said he did not expect dining to change at Duke and that it would continue to be a vendor-based system. Mandl, who was promoted last year to a full vice president, said he would not be involved in the scaledback Auxiliary Services’ day-to-day operations, but that he would be engaged in its strategic direction. “At some level, it’s impossible to take on that responsibility without a shift in my. time,” Mandl said. “But the directors of those areas are really strong now.” Finally, oversight of the DukeCard system, along with control of publications and printing, will now fall under Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer Tracy Futhey. Futhey said that moving printing to OIT makes sense because of the digital nature of printing, and noted there would be strong collaboration with areas like web publishing. She added that tying the DukeCard office more closely to OIT would allow the University to take greater advantage of possibilities of combining card technology with information.

Duke nearly double Terps’ score in rout led by Tillis By JOSH SILVERSTEIN

With six players in double digits, breaking 30 in the team’s overall winning streak, breaking 100 points with a three-point field goal by Vicki Krapohl in the last 23 seconds in the game, the womens’ basketball team (18-0, 6-0 in the ACC) showed what it has been struggling with recently: what it means to play like a No. 1 ranked team. “They’re very deserving of their No. 1 ranking,” admitted opposing Maryland head coach Brenda Frese. “Duke is just a tremendous team.” Paula Lehman In their previous Game commentary contest against UNC Monday night, the Blue Devils, who had been squeeking by teams like UVa and Wake Forest, were pushed to the breaking point. Perhaps that’s all they needed to realize the depth of their team and their power to live up to their praises of “potential” greatness. Maryland’s (8-10, 2-5) record had little to do with Duke’s domination. During the first half, the Terrapins showed that they had come to compete. Down 18-6 seven minutes into the game, the Terrapins went on an 11-0 run, scoring eight points off of turnovers by the Blue Devils. But Duke was not to be undone. For the first time this season, the Blue Devils laid all their cards on the table as the bench went to work treading on any hope Maryland had

Tillis, with a game high 19 points and three blocks, retained the crowd’s attention during the game by leading the Blue Devils (18-0, 6-0 in the ACC) to an overwhelming 101-52 win over the struggling Maryland Terrapins (8-10, 2-5). The victory extended Duke’s ACC winning streak to 30 games. “[Tillis] is just so hard to defend,” Maryland head coach Brenda Frese said. “I mean, the way can she can shoot the three and beat you off of the dribble... I just think she was really able to take it at us tonight.” With 1:15 remaining in the first half, the junior buried a three-pointer from the top of the arc, capping off a dominating 17-2 run for Duke that gave them a 37-21 lead to take into the locker room. The Blue Devils showed Maryland no mercy in the second half, as they outscored the Terps 64-31. “We were all kind of clicking tonight,” Duke forward Michele Matyasovsky said. “I think everyone just felt together.... We could really feel the team chemistry.” After jumping out to an early 18-6 first half lead, Duke suddenly caught a case of the turnover bug, giving the ball to Maryland on three straight possessions.

FSU may be unexpected threat to nation’s top team By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

The unstoppable Blue Devils have had some close games of late, though when playing easier squads, the team plays without mercy, as is evident by victories of 75, 68, and 62 points, and their most recent 101-52 romp over Maryland. Though the nation’s top ranked team should face a relatively easier test Sunday when they host ACC rivals Florida State (13-4, 5-1), they must not overlook this improving and currently hot team. “We have had several tough weeks of play lately,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I think everyone in the conference is just playing tremendous basketball...We need to be ready because we understand probably more than ever that if we are not ready to play, everybody is going be ready to play against us. We need to make sure that we are always ready and focused.” Off to its best ACC start in program history, the 5-1 Seminoles are tied with North Carolina for second in the conference. The team’s current 13 wins equal their total for last season and they already have one more league win than in last year’s season. Florida State has been matched against a couple of stronger teams this year, most notably a December battle against upcoming Duke foe UConn. Despite losing 74-55, the Seminoles forced the Huskies to engineer a come-from-behind victory, showing that they can pose a legitimate threat

to top teams. The Seminoles

most

recently

defeated Virginia 55-46 last night at home, displaying sharp shooting and strong rebounding. Junior guard Tasheila Morris, the Seminoles’ leading scorer with 15.1 ppg, will provide a key matchup for Alana Beard. She ismo Beard, however, and the Blue Devils may have an easier time shutting her down, especially if freshman Mistie Bass has a good day in the post. Florida State’s 5-foot-8 Angela Sutton returns to the team this season after sitting out the past two. The last season she suited up, 1999-2000, she led the squad with 68 steals and was among the ACC’s top ten in that category. The Seminoles are strong on the boards, having outrebounded Virginia by almost double. Morris leads the team, along with senior Katelyn Vujas. Vujas will be an offensive threat, as she is able to hit short jumpers or power to the inside. Goestenkors, however, has been feeling confident in her team’s defense and feels that they are continually improving. “Before we were not playing with great focus or passion,” she said. “They [our games] were very stressful and we wanted to build on that...now that we have done that, we’re back on the right track.” After winning several close games, the Blue Devils did not allow Maryland any second chances with a domineering effort. Look for Duke to come out strong against Florida and to play hard until the final seconds. If they can do this, another scoring frenzy may be in order for the Blue Devils.

If Duke has truly recognized their potentook a couple early shots that we didn’t want her to tial and can hold onto the confidence and depth they take but then she came back very strong.

It was important to us to follow up the Carolina game The strength of a top team is in its depth. with another game where we were focused and intense Duke’s bench compiled a final score, 41, that fell just and playing really good defense. So now, we just need short of Maryland’s total 52 points. As Krapohl sunk to continue along that path.”

scoring 11 apiece. “That was just an amazing game from Duke,” Frese said. “I don’t think I’ve ever looked at the boxscore to see six players in double figures and obviously the way they shot the ball tonight was just tremendous. They’re very deserving oftheir No. 1 ranking.” On the defensive side of the ball, Duke suffocated the Terrapins offensive attack, holding them to 34 percent from the field as a team and limiting their leading scorer, senior guard Renneika Razor to just l-of-6 shooting and eight points for the game, a shade under half of her average. “Iciss defended [Razor] and I thought she did an excellent job,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We wanted to limit her touches and I think we did that, and also, I think that Iciss’ height maybe gave

her some problems as well.” Duke’s defense put the clamp on Maryland after their 11-0 run. They dominated the defensive rebound category with 20. “Duke’s defense really turned it up a notch and scoring 52 points, we obviously had a tough time putting the ball in the basket,” Frese said. As for the Blue Devils, Goestenkors was more than pleased with her team’s performance. “I’m just really happy with our overall play,” she said. “I thought we started the game well. We hit a little lull early, but then I thought we regained our focus and intensity and played some really good basketball, especially in the second half.... It was nice to put together a full game ofreally good basketball.”

The Chronicle

GEORGIA TECH from page 11 104-79 win over the Yellow Jackets in a game in which Krzyzewski wildly encouraged fans to scream after he received a technical foul. The performance was so good by an electric,

the Blue Devils that analysts later felt that Duke peaked too early, which led to its disappointing Sweet 16 loss to Indiana. As Georgia Tech innocently travels to Durham this weekend, the Blue Devils have revenge on their minds once again. “We want to simulate [last year’s Georgia Tech] game,” sophomore guard Daniel Ewing said. “We want to go out there and be all over the place and have the fans into it.” Although the prologue for the game is repetitive, it will be much more difficult for the 2003 Duke team to repeat last years showing, as the effect of the loss of three first team All-ACC players is finally beginning to show on the Blue Devils. “Last year we had only lost one game [before the GeorgiaTech game],” senior forward Dahntay Jones said. “There’s more of a sense of urgency now. We’ve lost two big games.” Struggling to matchup with talented frontcourt players even in its wins this season, Duke will have trouble shutting down Georgia Tech’s 6-foot-10 power forward, freshman Chris Bosch. While Duke’s six freshmen received most of the complimentary press in the off-season, it is Bosh who is making a strong case for All-ACC selection this year, averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds a game.

ing is 6-foot-4 sophomore guard Barry Elder. Although the perimeter game is clearly the Blue Devils’ strength, Elder could cause problems in the backcourt, as he dropped 24 points in Tech’s 85-61 win over the Blue Devilbeating N.C. State. But getting too down on the young Duke team, do not forget that the Blue Devils have historically shown they need some adversity in their season before having the potential to emerge as an elite team. The national runner-up 1999 team and the 2000 Blue Devils that finished at the top of the final AP poll needed losses in pre-season tournaments before each squad went on massive winning streaks. Even the 2001 national championship team required a late home loss to Maryland to provide motivation for its tournament run. The players on this year’s squad are determined to do the same, starting with the Georgia Tech game. “We’re just trying to get better and better,” Jones said. J.J. Redick, Duke’s leading scorer at 17.2 points per game, is expected to play Saturday, though he did not practice Thursday with a foot strain. The Blue Devils will need his tremendous outside touch if they are to recover from their recent losses. “J.J.’s a tough kid,” Jones said. “I think he’ll be ready to play Saturday.”

The Chronicle Free speech and terror Laura Whitehorn’s past activities are

characteristic of terrorism, but she should have the right to speak on campus

African and African American Studies visiting professor is paying to bring Laura Whitehorn —a radical who bombed the U.S. Capitol in 1983 and spent 14 years in prison because of this heinous action—to speak on campus as part of a graduate seminar. Although the original advertisement to bring her to campus is misleading at best, few people should question Whitehom’s right to speak and AAAS’s right to bring her to campus. The original profiles of Whitehorn advertised her as an activist for HIV/AIDs awareness in prison and for women’s rights. This obscures the fact that she at one time used a bomb to damage offices in one of our government’s most important buildings. Someone who has bombed the U.S. Capitol fits the definition of the terrorist, one who uses violence—particularly bombings—to intimidate and instill fear in society and the government, and the University’s attempt to pass Whitehorn off as something other than a terrorist is insulting. Those sponsoring Whitehorn’s speech should be honest about who she is and why she is well-known: The only reason anyone has ever heard ofWhitehorn is her involvement in the bombing of the Capitol. The speech’s sponsors—AAAS, the John Hope Franklin Center, the Women’s Studies Program and Becky Thompson, the visiting professor ofAAAS before whose course Whitehorn is speaking—should honestly represent who Whitehorn is and why they are bringing her. To do otherwise hurts any credibility Whitehorn might possibly have as a speaker and any credibility the sponsors have. But Whitehorn’s past does not mean that she should not be speaking on campus. Quite frankly, if Osama bin Laden were available as a speaker, anything he had to say would certainly be compelling. The University, nor any institution dedicated to open dialogue, should not engage in censoring speakers or preventing professors from inviting whomever they wish to speak to their classes. Any university that values academic freedom and the ideals of the academy should be very wary of regulating how professors teach their classes, let alone who speaks to them. Duke officials who have defended Whitehorn and Thompson’s right to invite her should be applauded for recognizing this. Chair ofAAAS Charles Payne hit an important note when he said that people stop thinking when they hear the word “terrorist.” Certainly there is good reason to label Whitehorn a terrorist for her past actions, but the word does not fully describe her as a person and she should not be wholly dismissed because of it. There have been some hard-line politicians who, especially since Sept. 11, have exploited the word “terrorist” to condemn anyone with whom they disagree. Due to Whitehorn’s past, her denouncement by some does not rise to the level of some ofthe worst examples of such exploitation. Nevertheless, community members should not let the label blind them to Whitehorn or her ideas.

Letters to

the editor

Pro-choice advocates’ The Chronicle gets one thing right in its predictably slanted coverage of the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade —some things never change. Pro-choice advocates still rely on deceitful rhetoric and fallacious argu-

ments to support a woman’s

“right to choose.” Space does not permit a full

rebuttal of all the nonsense that appeared in the Jan. 22 issue, but a few comments are worth making. The Chronicle claims that the decision upholds “that women should have a right to do as they please with their own bodies.” Actually, it’s not just women’s own bodies, but also the bodies of their unborn children that are affected by abortion—a point made clear by the editoriHttp:! / www.chronicle.duke.edu

I found Laura Whitehorn’s

comment that “terrorism is the targeting of civilians” to be a disingenuous and feeble attempt to excuse her own culpability as a convicted felon. If attempting to bomb the U.S. Capitol isn’t an act of terrorism, perhaps she didn’t spend enough time in the federal penal system. At the same time, I fully support her right to speak at the University. While I would hardly hold her up as a model

for others to emulate, she has

who would not be viable, apart from the care and protection of their parents. But perhaps the most inane comment is that made by some members of Students for Choice: “By supporting abstinence-only education, pro-life advocates perpetuate the circumstances that lead to abortions in the first place.” Let’s think about this. Teaching teenagers not to have sex will lead to more pregnancies and /

fallacious

more abortion, but telling young people to have as much “safe sex” as they want (despite the high failure rates of much contraception) will reduce the number of abortions? In addition to common sense, a simple look at statistics will show the patent falsity ofthis claim. The answer to “unwanted” pregnancies is not abortion. The answer is creating a culture that truly respects and cherishes women, fosters responsibility (especially among men) and provides care and support for women who are put in the traumatic situations that lead many to consider abortion.

a guaranteed right to speak out however she chooses. Bill English and the Duke

Conservative Union’s attempt to intermingle their political

agenda with a freedom of

speech issue is equally misguided but they too have a guaranteed right to speak out about issues that are of concern to them. There are very few places in this world where differing opinions can be discussed without fear of censorship—why add another? While I may disagree with

Whitehorn and her attempt to justify a terrorist act, there are many lessons I can learn from her example. If she can speak authoritatively about AIDS or gender discrimination issues to students today, more power to her. These topics are relevant to all of us and do not discriminate against their victims on the basis of a particular political view. Douglas

Whitehorn will discuss what she deems “terrorist” government actions here and abroad. I expect that some of her points apply to our current thinking regarding Iraq and North Korea. We owe it to our open-mindedness to hear her opinions. That said, I find it appalling that the AAAS department contrived to conceal Whitehorn’s identity behind that of “political prisoner.” Although they have now explained her crime—damaging a U.S. Capitol cloakroom and office, not the DCU’s “demolishing a section”—it is irresponsible to hide behind such a deceptive

label, and even more dishonest given our current concern over terrorism. Whitehorn is a terrorist, and the AAAS description should have reflected that. I am disgusted by the tactics Whitehorn’s organization used against the symbols of our nation, and I am a bit ashamed to be paying her to speak about her crimes. However, curtailing her right to speak now sends the wrong message about what we should value most in our University and our country. In a week in which we celebrate both free speech and Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of peaceful resistance, this argument should strike us all the wrong way.

record

I was flabbergasted when I saw it, because Duke has one of the strongest programs in anthropology in the nation. If it had been any other university in the nation, it wouldn’t faze me. This was ridiculous.

Commentary

The Chronicle

Why MLK day? Though we have several recesses throughout the year, there is only one holiday on which classes do not meet— Martin Luther King, Jr., Day. Why is this? I recently wrote to President Nan Keohane asking her this very question. An administrator replied on her behalf and explained that Duke wished to commemorate and commit itself to “struggles for peace and justice.” She then said that “many of our sister institutions do likewise.” But after checking the academic calendars of five of our sister institutions, I found that none have the exact same policy as we do. UNC observes Independence Day, Labor i Day and Good Friday N.C. State I I observes Labor Day and has an “Easter m J Recess.” Wake Forest observes Good Friday. UPenn celebrates Independence Nathan Day. And Stanford observes both p I v>arleton Independence Day and Presidents’ Day. But here at Duke, we only observe GettingDown Martin Luther King, Jr., Day.

My argument is that the University’s observance of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day shows a preference that should not be made. Granted, King was a remarkable leader who did an incredible amount of good for all Americans—good that should be celebrated by all.
