Former mayor Fraternities release bid numbers looks to future By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

After waiting nervously to find out which potential

Former Durham mayor Nick Tennyson has a simple response about how he spends his time these days. “I go home,” he said. Tennyson says he has seen his home and his family a lot more since he concluded his four years in office and after losing a reelection bid for a third term to current Mayor Bill Bell in 2001. But as Bell passes his halfway point in office and another mayoral election approaches in November, Tennyson, Trinity ’72, said he has not yet decided whether to challenge Bell in a rematch. Although he said he will likely run Nick Tennyson again for political office, he did not say when or for which office. “It certainly is one of those things that has to be evaluated on a very short time horizon,” he said. “I don’t have any specific plan.” While Tennyson appears to be undecided, Asa Spaulding, current chair of the Durham County Re-

Interfraternity Council group members accepted the bids they handed out Sunday night, fraternity leaders discovered Monday night that changes to the greek system over the last year had yielded some minor shifts in membership. The return of membership offers by rushees Monday marked the end of the annual IFC recruitment process, which this year included several changes: different housing locations than last year for every IFC group; the addition of one fraternity, Chi Psi, to the IFC rush process and subtraction of another, the former Kappa Sigma; and housing for one more fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. Several fraternities seemed to benefit at least somewhat from locations closer to the center of campus. Lou Leskosky, a rush chair for Delta Kappa Epsilon, said nine students accepted bids to his group Monday, representing an increase from the six members who accepted last year, before the group moved from Edens Quadrangle to Main West Campus. “It’s to some degree doing a better jobbeing out there in the open on Main West and not in Edens,” he said. Phi Delta Theta also moved from Edens to Main West, and it received its largest pledge class in four years, said Tom Bringley, president of Phi Delt.

Bush pays tribute to lost astronauts President reaffirms America’s conviction to continuing exploration of space By ELISABETH BUMILLER New York Times News Service

HOUSTON President George W. Bush hailed the astronauts ofthe space shuttle Columbia Tuesday as seven lost explorers of great daring and purpose, then declared America’s only course in the face of the tragedy is to push forward in the conquest of space. “The cause of exploration and discovery is not an option we chose,” Bush told an audience of thousands at an emotional outdoor ceremony at the Johnson Space Center here. “It is a desire written in the human heart. We are that part of creation which seeks to understand all creation. We find the best among us, send them

forth into unmapped darkness, and pray they will return.” Bush spoke in nearly the same spot that Ronald Reagan did almost 17 years ago to the day when he honored the seven astronauts killed in the Challenger explosion. That memorial, too, was sundrenched, with raw emotion and jets streaking overhead, as they did Tuesday, in a missing-man formation, with one plane separating itself from the others and heading high up into the Texas sky, A group of women who had been part of the Houston training crew of

the Columbia astronauts cried.

Tuesday’s ceremony came as investigators widened their search for de-

bris from the shuttle. NASA officials said Tuesday that investigators had been sent to California and Arizona to check reports that remnants of the spacecraft had fallen there. One report came from a Phoenix television station that broadcast an amateur videotape that appears to show a piece of the shuttle breaking away from the vehicle as it streaked across the sky. General Michael Kostelnik, NASA’s deputy associate administrator for the shuttle, said investigators were particularly interested in obtaining any debris from the western states “because that material would obviously be near the start of the event.”

Saddam insists Iraq does not want war By BARRY RENFREW The Associated Press

LONDON

In his first Western television interview in

more than a decade, Saddam Hussein said the United States wants to conquer Iraq so it can “control the world” and insisted his regime has no weapons of mass destruction. A retired British lawmaker and peace activist, Tony Benn, conducted the 40-minute interview, during which the Iraqi leader spoke slowly in precise, careful tones, his voice at times falling veiy low, as he sipped from a cup of Arabic coffee in what appeared to be a room in one ofhis palaces.

The interview took place Sunday in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and was broadcast Tuesday, one day before Secretary of State Colin Powell was to present evidence at the UN. Security Council that Iraq has hidden large caches of banned weapons.

Saddam, speaking in Arabic, accused Washington offabricating false claims as a pretext to seize Iraq’s oil fields. He also said Iraq does not want war and is willing to work with UN. weapons inspectors ifthey have no ulterior purpose. “If the intention [of inspections] is to confirm that Iraq is free of biological and chemical and nuclear weapons, then they can do so. These weapons are not some aspirin pill someone can hide in his pocket. These are weapons of mass destruction, so it’s simple to determine if Iraq has

them or not,” he said.

But chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said in New York Tuesday that the Iraqi government’s response so far has not indicated it is prepared to provide the critical information that he and nuclear inspection chief Mohamed Elßaradei want to see ahead of their Feb. 14 report to the Security Council.

Med school merger gets high marks By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle As AOL-Time Warner has proven, mergers can often be torturous affairs. But the School ofMedicine’s new department of molecular genetics and microbiology—officially created in June 2002 from a merger of the departments of genetics and microbiology—has apparently bucked that trend. Core faculty and administrators are giving the nascent department rave reviews. “It’s gone exceedingly well,” said Joseph Nevins, chair and James B. Duke professor of molecular genetics and microbiology. “The two sets offaculty have merged together in a very cooperative way.” To focus research efforts following the merger, four centers were created

within the department—experimental genetics, microbial pathogenesis, RNA biology and virology—to complement the Center for Genome Technology, one of the five main components of the University-wide Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy. The IGSP center is housed within molecular genetics and microbiology and directed by Nevins. “Merged departments often become fractured, but [this merger] has to be one of the smoothest transitions I’ve ever seen,” said Dr. Joseph Heitman, a professor in the department and director of the center for microbial pathogenesis. “Organizing the faculty around these centers... encourages interaction and keeps the department from going stale.” In terms of faculty hires and funding, Nevins aims to promote research in all four centers’ disciplines, all of which bridge genetics and microbiology. Two faculty members have already See MERGER on page 6

Study pinpoints sources of medical errors

Studies of medical errors generally focus on those in hospitals, but a new study suggests that injuries stemming from mistakes made when patients are discharged from hospitals or in their follow-up care may be more common, though not as serious. Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Ottawa in Canada interviewed 400 randomly chosen patients three weeks after they left hospitals and examined their records —about 20 percent of the patients had harmful events related to their care and two-thirds of the injuries could have been prevented or limited, the researchers found. •

Spine braces, surgery may be unneeded

Many adolescents diagnosed with spine curvatures

can skip braces, surgery or other treatments without developing debilitating physical impairments later in life, a 50-year study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests. Untreated patients did have more back pain and more body-image concerns than study participants with normal spines, but untreated patients had similar death rates and were just as likely to lead productive lives 50 years after diagnosis as people with normal spines, according to the research.

Primates may think, learn like humans By LIANA WYLER The Chronicle

Rhesus macaque monkeys show not only the ability to learn ordered images but also an abstract, flexible knowledge of learned material, a new study reports—suggesting that these

supposedly human-specific character-

istics trace back to other primates. In a recently published collaborative study involving four rhesus macaque monkeys, researchers from

Duke, Columbia University and Barnard College investigated the precursors of human cognition in nonhuman primates. “This research is important in the sense that we know very little about how intelligence evolved. We don’t even know how language evolved,”

said Herbert Terrace, professor of psychology at Columbia. “So we’re interested in [the] evolution of cognition and the precursors of precognitive learning.” In the study, researchers showed the monkeys a touch-sensitive monitor screen with a certain number of randomly placed images of simple, everyday objects, such as animals, people, scenery and cars. Choosing the images on a trial-and-error basis, the monkeys eventually learned the correct order to touch the objects on the screen in order to receive a banana-pellet reward. When a monkey pressed the wrong image, the screen turned black for a while, and the monkey would have to start pointing to the images in the

correct order from the beginning, as in a video game.

“Monkeys have this incredible ability to learn sequences,” Terrace said. “I believe that this is the most complicated sequence learning ever reported by an animal.” The monkeys began with lists that consisted of three images to place in order, eventually graduating to four and finally seven images. In this

In order for the monkeys to move on to lists with more images, they had to complete 65 percent of the earlier

trials correctly. One of the study’s most peculiar findings is that the monkeys were able to complete the lists better and more quickly the longer they played the image-ordering game. The improve-

merit in learning strategy suggests that the monkeys developed what psychologists call expertise for sequenc-

ing the images.

“What was so interesting about this research is that not only were the monkeys able to learn the sequence, they got better and better at it,” said Elizabeth Brannon, assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences at Duke. “BaSee MONKEYS on page 8

GPSC revamps funding policy for student groups General Assembly lowers percentage of graduate students required for affiliation to 20 percent By KIRA ROSOFF and KATIE XIAO The Chronicle

Amidst much discussion and deliberation Tuesday evening, the Graduate and Professional Student Council approved new funding and communications policies for student groups. After the GPSC General Assembly voted to affiliate seven more student groups with GPSC, Treasurer Heather Dean presented a proposed addition to the GPSC by-laws regarding group funding. The section clarified the type of events hosted by GPSC-affiliated organizations that may receive funding and how the budget will be allotted. “Most groups who applied for funding [this cycle] received fimding from the committee,” said Dean, a third-year stu-

Easing fears about the low number, Ben Cooke, a graduate student in mathematics, said the funding committee could take the percentage of students into account for each case. Following the group funding discussion, Marc Sokol, a third-year student in the Fuqua School of Business, proposed changes in the GPSC-controlled e-mail

Loßiondo takes on interim student activities role From staff reports Assistant Dean of Students Deb Loßiondo will become Duke’s interim director of student activities, Zoila Airall, assistant vice president for student affairs, announced Tuesday. Loßiondo will provide leadership and administrative oversight for the Office of Student Activities, supervise the staff, and foster and manage relationships with students, staff and colleagues, Airall said. Loßiondo will succeed Sue Coon, who was removed from the position by Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta two weeks ago. “Deb is the best person for the job because she has had significant supervisory experience and in her

most recent position, she has selected a staff of professionals for a new position, that of Residence Coordinator,” Airall wrote in an e-mail. “She helped create the position and provided the orientation and day to day supervision for the new position.” Eddie Hull, director ofresidence life and housing services, will assume Loßiondo’s responsibilities for West Campus and Campus Council during this in-

Duke is now conducting a national search for a permanent director of student activities, and hopes to have that person in place by July 1.

IFC RUSH from page 1 “We got 13 acceptances.... We happened to find some really great guys who were interested,” Bringley said. Officers in Deke and Phi Belt, as well as those in Sig Ep and Pi Kappa Alpha, gave out and received more bids than ever before. ‘We gave out 32 bids and we got 30 back because we have a pretty large section and people going abroad,” said Jared

Newman, president of PiKA. “We’re excited to have this many people ready to become part of the brotherhood.” Sig Ep—one of the few fraternities that does not do any pledging activities—-

was especially pleased with its recruitment numbers this year after trying for several years to obtain housing. A total of 26 students accepted bids to the group, out of 33 bids that were originally handed

out. Additionally, five students deferred their bids, which gives them the flexibility to accept their bids at any time over the next year. Likewise, Chi Psi leaders expressed satisfaction after a year of change. This

was the first year that Chi Psi participated in IFC recruitment after joining the organization last fall, and President Nick Superina said he was content when six students accepted bids after 14 were

MERGER from page 3 been added since the merger, with further growth planned for the now 17-member department. Nevins expects seven or eight more hires within three years.

“They’ve done an excellent job recruiting,” said Jo Wright, vice dean of basic sciences for the medical school. “I think it’s gone very well. They have a lot of new junior faculty that are just dynamite.” The two departments ran a joint graduate program and often collaborated on research before the merger, and the new structuring aims at furthering those efforts.

“There was a lot of overlap between the departments, so it was very natural to merge them,” said Bryan Cullen, a

professor in the department and director of the center for virology. “I think it’s an extremely good thing.” Nevins said he also plans to hire faculty and strengthen specific research areas to stimulate collaboration with IGSP. The department may already have an edge besides housing one of IGSP’s five main centers—the Institute’s new director, Huntington Willard, will serve as a faculty member in molecular genetics and microbiology. “Faculty recruitments that we have planned match very closely with IGSP,” Nevins said. “It’s a very close relationship.... As time goes on, that’s going to broaden out and involve a much broader group [of departments].” Although a great deal of attention today is being placed on biodefense, Nevins does not want to structure a program specifically around it.

Kappa Alpha President Carlton Fleming declined to release any bid numbers, though he wrote in an e-mail that his fraternity has received bids from students who were also rushing Delta Phi Alpha. “We have an amazing pledge class this year, including several guys Delta Phi Alpha has been rushing all year,” Fleming wrote. “If you gave a list of our pledges to Delta Phi Alpha, they’d want every one of them, and you couldn’t say the same going the other way.” Most on-campus fraternities reported numbers similar to years past, with few exceptions.

Elliot said Delta Sig has a normal number of students in their pledge class and said his fraternity gave out 27 bids and received 25 acceptances, along with an additional student who was given a snap bid. “We lost kids that we thought we were going to lose and got kids we thought we were going to get,” Elliot said. Theta Chi originally gave out 35 bids, one of the highest number of potential bids, but only seven students chose to accept them. Joel Yancey, president ofTheta Chi, declined to comment on the numbers.

This is related to finding genes that say an individual is more susceptible to cancer or heart disease.” Along with future innovation along genomic routes, Heitman noted the importance of dealing intelligently with infectious disease, altogether the greatest taker of human life. “In this current day, there’s maybe no other more important area than microbiology” he said.

MAJDI from page 3 demies first, not just for basketball “I love going to [women’s] games, I just put so much time and effort into men’s basketball that I probably wouldn’t be able to handle going to both without failing out of school,” he said. As a pre-med student, public policy major and philosophy minor, Majdi said he reserves plenty of time for work and class—which he never misses for basketball. Still, like many other students, Majdi is unable to study in K-ville, so he said he tries to stay up all night working and sleep during the day when he is in the tent. “That’s pretty atypical though,” he said. Majdi said he did not get really interested in college basketball until Bth or 9th grade, but since then he has always liked Duke’s style of play. He started becoming more of a Duke fan when he realized the up-and-coming power of the University of Maryland, a school not too far from £ds Vienna, Va., home. Basketball may not have been Majdi’s main reason for coming to Duke, but it certainly has become a major activity for him. Next year, he even has hopes of being head line monitor; while monitors do not have to tent, he said he probably would anyway. And when he graduates, Majdi admits that coming to games will be much more difficult. But, he said, “I will always be a fan.”

NINE DUKE FACULTY MEMBERS speak out on the reasons they support divestment from companies that have ties to Israel’s military at a forum last month. Audience members who opposed divestment engaged in a heated debate with those in favor of divestment.

DIVESTMENT,™ page, Fellow organizer Jessica Rutter said Keohane is dismissing a tactic that could be potentially useful in working toward peace between Israelis and

Palestinians. “She acted too quickly without understanding what our campaign really is about,” said Rutter, a junior. “What we have to remember here is that Israel has the military, financial and diplomatic power, and they really are the ones that need to take the first step.” But Keohane countered that the conflict between the Israelis and the Pales-

Both Al-Bulushi and Rutter said they were also disappointed that Keohane did not address DukeDivest’s call for the creation of an ethical investment committee. “The No. 1 step that Duke should take is fall in step behind institutions like Yale, Harvard and Columbia [universities] that already have ethical investment committees,” Al-Bulushi said. No other university has adopted a divestment policy.

Clement remembered Tennyson as supportive of “good growth,” or any growth that would facilitate expansion ofthe tax base at a reasonable cost, with the appropriate infrastructure and resources in place. Council member and current mayor pro tempore Lewis Cheek called Tennyson a “popular mayor” who could run again as a “very, very competitive” opponent against Bell. Cheek acknowledged, however, that the issues both Tennyson and Bell stressed are similar, including crime reduction and downtown development, and that their voting records on issues are reasonably similar. Cheek added, however, that popular conceptions of the two are more skewed. “[Voter polls] would tell you that Nick was more developer-friendly than Bill,” Cheek said.

Not only did the monkeys learn how to order the images from a given list, they were also able to discern images from different lists in pair-wise tests. For example, if a car was the first image in list D and a bridge was the third image in list A, and the monkeys were presented with two images, a car and a bridge, they would first point to the car, said Lisa Son, assistant professor of psychology at Barnard College. “The pair-wise tests suggest that [the monkeys] really have an abstract concept and a flexible knowledge of the lists,” Son explained. “They knew where each item was in each particular list.” This abstract knowledge of the ordinal position of the pictures is in some ways considered a hallmark of what some human psychologists call declarative memory—the ability to have a very explicit memory of something, Brannon said. Claims of monkeys possessing declarative memory, however, are certainly suspect. “We can’t verbally test the monkeys for specific memories, but the fact that they have an abstract knowledge of the lists is getting closer to a suggestion that monkeys may

have something similar to declarative memory,” Brannon said. The monkeys involved in the study were observed at the Psychiatric Institute of Columbia University, and the research was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Science Foundation

Blue Devils, Tar Heels square off for 213th time North Carolina leads all-time series 122-90; Blue Devils have won 10 of last 11 By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

Like or hate the Cameron Crazies, most college basketball teams will admit playing at Duke is no fun. Complaining of everything from eardrumpiercing noise to vicious taunts to until this season—lack of air conditioning, teams look forward to their visit to Durham. So this week, when the young Tar Heels (11-9, 2-5 in the ACC) saw a looming date with arch-rival No. 9 Duke (14-3, 4-3) tonight at 9 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium, North Carolina head coach Matt Doherty had a —

simple message. “It really is a fun environment,” Doherty said of both his playing and coaching days in Cameron. “Once kids realize they can [laugh at the taunting and] enjoy it, it can be a lot of fun. It’s a great environment for college basketball.” Of late the storied series has been anything but fun for the Tar Heels as Duke has taken the last five meetings and 10 of the last 11. And although the Blue Devils have a three-game road slide to contend with, they have, like many other young teams, been perfect at home. UNC, meanwhile, comes into the game having dropped four straight, including a recent 79-75 loss to Wake Forest in Chapel Hill. “It doesn’t matter if it’s Duke or not, a win is the most important thing right now,” said Tar Heel freshman Rashad McCants. “We need a win.” A win is also important for Duke, which finds itself in the middle of the ACC standings—an unfamiliar spot for recent Blue Devil teams. While a loss could end Duke’s regular season ACC title hopes, a win would at the least help pace the Blue Devils toward conference leaders Maryland, N.C. State and Wake Forest. The biggest “X-factor” in the all-important win for both teams could be their freshmen. Although the Blue Devils boast the best crop of firstyears in the country, they only start one, shooting guard J.J. Redick. At the other end, North Carolina’s starting lineup contains a trio offreshmen —including ACC Player of the Year candidate McCants —and two sophomores, forward Jawad Williams and Manuel. “There’s never been a time [with so

Pivotal point guard battle could be key to victory After starting strong, Duke floor general Duhon slumps; North Carolina’s Felton warms up By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

The last time we saw Chris Duhon, he slipped away a Duke lead to Florida State with six seconds remaining and fell to the court almost as hard as the Blue Devils dropped in the ACC standings and the polls the next day. When Raymond Felton was last in action, he bricked a three-pointer with nine ticks on the clock that would have brought North Carolina within a point in an eventual loss to Wake Forest. But for these two heralded point guards, that sloppy play has only been regularity for one ofthem. For these two sinewy, small-town floor generals, most of the snapshots have been surprisingly different. Just over a week ago, Felton was busy hitting a school-record eight threes. Meanwhile, Duhon hasn’t been busy with much else but missing; the junior has only hit double figures once since Dec. 7. “He hasn’t played well, there’s no question about that,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Just look at the stats. He just hasn’t played well, and we have to help him play well. With that happening, our team has done overall pretty well. I just think that we can take a big jump if we can get him to play.” Despite making the list of 30 when the midseason Wooden Awards were an-

nounced Monday, Duhon has certainly not played up to the level he was expected to when Jay Williams headed for Chicago last spring. And while he remains the ACC’s assist leader at 7.47 per game, the new Duke captain has

shot just 23 percent from the field in his team’s three recent losses, a rough skid that left his teammates to offer only words of comfort yesterday. “It’s been a battle, but today was really good for him,” junior Nick Horvath said. “He’s not down, he’s just—focused,” senior Casey Sanders echoed, with a distinct air of concern for his captain, teammate and friend gone uncharacteristically defunct. Down 15-501, though, Felton has been part of the eye-popping freshman squad of saviors the UNC faithful hoped he would be. With 11.6 points to go with his 6.45 assists per game, the Latta, S.C. native has outshone his Slidell, La. counterpart for tonight’s matchup. With an air of confidence, Felton has had no trouble looking for his shot and grabbing the spotlight early in his career, something Duhon was widely expected to do after being groomed for two years. “He’s terrific,” Krzyzewski said of Felton. “He makes everybody on their team better, but he does it in two ways. In the offense, he does it obviously with his penetrating, and so he makes other people play him, and then dishes off. But the other way is because he’s such a good

shooter, so he stretches the defense.” And though his coach also maligned Duhon’s ball pressure of late, it’s on that defensive end where the veteran has an edge. Felton tends to put his head down after checking his first and second looks, whereas if Duhon is known for anything, it’s for always being heads-up. No matter the missed shots, the bad moods

RAYMOND FELTON will lead the Tar Heel backcourt tonight, or the big losses, he has walked the roads of Carolina-Duke, of the ups and downs, of the learning curve. And that’s a permanent edge, flashy frosh in the way or not. “Raymond’s really becoming more comfortable, and that process takes time,” UNC coach Matt Doherty said,

knowing that experience like Duhon’s is what pays at the ACC’s most important position. “It’s not just going to be, ‘Okay, he’s arrived.’ That’s a thing that evolves, and you talk to other players, especially point guards, and to understand what you need to do to run a team, that takes time.”

Duke, UNC use inside committees to mixed results By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

In years past, the Duke-UNC rivalry has centered around a contrast of playing styles. The Tar Heels have usually boasted a dominant center and the Blue Devils survived on their outside shooting and quick transition game. This year, however, North Carolina finds itself in a similar predicament to

the Blue Devil teams of past. Both squads play the center position by committee, utilizing different skills from each of their big men. Duke and UNO’s perimeter players are thefocal points on both offense and defense, and are certainly not replaceable. Sean May, the Tar Heels' leading re-

bounder and inside player, was injured in late December and forced UNC into

the current dilemma. Byron Sanders, a fellow freshman, has increased his playing time to 18 minutes per contest. Although his measly rebounding average of 2.5 a game does not fill a stat sheet, his presence on defense is all that coach Matt Doherty can ask for. “It does concern me because they can afford more fouls,” Doherty said about Duke’s frontcourt. “If player X gets three fouls, they come in with another player who is big physically. We don’t have that depth at our 4 or 5 spot.” North Carolina will be on the hot seat if a few of its posts are caught in foul trouble. Only four Tar Heels are over 6-foot-9—two of whom play fewer than eight minutes a game and average fewer than two rebounds.

The rebounding responsibility has been handed over to the small forwards and guards since the Tar Heels' frontcourt has not produced in the wake of May’s injury. Jawad Williams, UNO’s starting swingman, leads the team with 6 boards per game. Rashad McCants and Raymond Felton, both perimeter players, are the second and third leading rebounders. “We have a height advantage down low so I think that if we are playing well we should be able to exploit that and really try to take advantage of what we have in the post,” freshman Shavlik Randolph said. “But I also think we have a great perimeter so we will see

what happens.” For once, it looks as though Duke could have the clear advantage inside because of North Carolina’s lack of skill in the paint and the Blue Devils’ deep bench.

Freshmen Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams have paired up with veterans Casey Sanders and Nick Horvath to become a formidable committee on the inside. All four players stand above 6-foot-9 and have proven they can perform in game situations. Although none of them has consistently proven to Krzyzewski that he should start every game, the rotation has worn down opposing centers. In their matchup with Virginia, Travis Watson and Elton Brown outplayed Duke’s big men, but as a group the Blue Devils were able to contain the Cavs enough to win the contest. On the other end of the court, some of Duke’s big men have been able to exercise their size advantage. Against Butler, Randolph exploded for 24 points, proving that he can score if the opportunity is present. Horvath has not broken the 20-point mark in any game, but his 16-point contribution against UCLA earlier in the season was crucial. “I take it upon myself to get everyone ready—to be able to give all that they can give,” Horvath said. “On any given night, one guy might be too into his own thing, missing his shots, or hiding behind his move. We can’t have that the rest of the year, so we need to have everyone come out and play for the team, and play for each other.” Despite the superior play in the backcourt for both schools, the big men will play a large role in determining who gets the easy buckets from missed shots. If UNO continues its’ poor rebounding and interior defense, Duke should be able to put their players in foul trouble and take a slight edge inside.

Friends at heart? Unlike other fierce rivalries, Duke and North Carolina share both friendship and respect—off the court. By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

Amongst the fans, things can get pretty rowdy. Burned benches, hurled epithets and vicious cheers are hallmarks of the Duke-North Carolina basketball contests. But aside from the bonfires and bedlam which occupy the crowds in the stands, there is a certain guarded camaraderie between the Blue Devils and the Tar Heels who spend their time on the floor and in the coaches’ boxes. “I have always felt that they have tremendous tradition at North Carolina and so do we, and it’s based on good stuff,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Good kids, good coaches, good fans, good school. That makes it even better.” Perhaps the most evident example of the bonhomie between the teams takes place a long way from Tobacco Road, in Kaunas, Lithuania. Former Tar Heel point guard Ed Cota and onetime Blue Devil small forward Chris Carrawell are now teammates on Zalgiris, a Lithuanian basketball team. Both players left the Triangle in 2QOO, and each has spent time in foreign and domestic basketball leagues. It was former rival Cota who procured a place for Carrawell, recommending the swingman to his coach. There are Duke-UNC partnerships stateside, as well. Former UNC power forward Antawn Jamison and 20012002 Blue Devil captain Mike Dunleavy are now teammates on the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. But per-

haps the most Triangle-stocked squad is the Washington Wizards, who feature Duke legend Christian Laettner, as well as former Tar Heels Brendan Haywood, Jerry Stackhouse and

Michael Jordan. The camaraderie does not begin in the pros, however. Current UNC head coach Matt Doherty remembers the guarded friendliness from his days as a Tar Heel athlete. “I didn’t like some of their players, but in the summertime you’d play pickup games and you’d get to know them,” Doherty said. “So there’s re-

spect there.” Duke center Casey Sanders notes that the rivalry’s boundaries break down during everyday events such as trips to the barbershop. Tar Heel and Blue Devil players frequent the same barbershop in Chapel Hill. Half the barbers are Carolina fans; half support Duke. “They get to talking and then it’s on,” Sanders said. Friendships can even exist before college. For example, sharpshooters J.J. Redick of Duke and Rashad Mc-

Cants of UNC know each other through high school elite teams and have an amicable relationship. “But you can’t keep any friendships on the court when you’re playing,” McCants said. “They’re on the other side

of the battlefield.”

Horvath, Sanders lead big men By JESSE COLVIN The Chronicle

In Duke’s most recent game, in Tallahassee, Fla. last weekend against Florida State, midway through the action, Casey Sanders pulled down a rebound on the offensive block. After securing the ball but facing away from the basket, he, in a sudden motion, explosively corkscrewed his body upwards, threw the ball through the hoop in a windmill motion and then screamed for emphasis. It was a surprisingly aggressive move from the senior center, whose passive play over the past three years has often drawn criticism from Blue Devil fans, but

it was just the kind of play the team is going to need from its big men if it wants to be successful late in the season. Coming into the season, Duke knew that its frontcourt was going to be deep, but without much experience. Sanders and Nick Horvath had been in the system for four years, but neither of the two had seen extensive action over that span. That liability now seems to be a thing of the past, however, as both players have stepped up into leadership roles on the team, especially for freshman frontcourt players Shavlik Randolph, Shelden Williams and Mike Thompson, and they have begun to assert them-

selves more on the court as well. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski praised his two seniors and the progress they have made. “Casey and Nick are good stories because I can expect more of them now,” Krzyzewski said. “They have age experience but not playing time or experience of having done it. Seeing it done is nice, but when you actually do it, that type of experience is ultimately important. I see them helping our younger guys, helping everyone. “Those two guys have done a marvelous job for us. I could not have asked them to do more for us this year than they are doing, and not just on the court. They actually feel like seniors now who can talk to kids. They have been terrific. I’m very proud of them.” Horvath made it clear that he wants to be a leader of the team. “I take it upon myself to get everyone ready—to be able give all that they can give,” Horvath said. “On any given night, one guy might be too into his own thing, missing his shots, or hiding behind his move. We can’t have that the rest of the year, so we need to have everyone come out and play for the team, and play for

each other.” Indeed, Horvath has asserted himself more and more recently. Before and during each game the English and physics major can be seen talking with his younger teammates and clapping for the ball on offense when he wants it. Sanders, too, has done his part to become a leader on the team. He said that Horvath provides the technical expertise to the freshmen while he lets his play do the talking for him. “I’m more athletic than Nick is, so I let my play speak for itself,” Sanders said. “But I leave the mental coaching to him.”

Frosh looks to win ACC Player of Year By TED MANN The Chronicle

Rashad McCants is looking to go where no Tar Heel—not Worthy, not Perkins, not Stackhouse, Jamison, Carter or Forte, not even a certain 6foot-6 guard named Jordan—has ever gone before. McCants, a 6-foot-4 freshman swingman from Asheville has ridden his 18.8 points per game average to the forefront of the race for ACC player of the year. If he wins the award, McCants will become not only the first Tar Heel, but the first player from any team to earn ACC player of the year honors as a freshman. Though he has a chance to accomplish something that has never been done before in a conference with a long list of great players, McCants refuses to focus on individual' achievements. “I don’t really pay attention to [awards or statistics],” McCants said. “I just want to win. We’re trying to win ourselves a national championship.” Unlike McCants, ACC coaches and writers are paying attention, and they Eire witnessing a freshman blossoming into the third-leading scorer in the conference. McCants has scored in double figures in every game he’s played since he donned Carolina blue, giving him the longest such streak in the conference. “Rashad is an explosive scorer,” UNC head coach Matt Doherty said. “He has the ability to ignite our team.” Not only does he score, but the former McDonald’s All-American also nabs

5.4 rebounds per game, and ranks in the top five in the ACC in field-goal and three-point percentage. This versatility has thrust McCants into contention for ACC player of the year. McCants’ main competitors for the

award are Wake Forest senior Josh Howard, N.C. State sophomore Julius

Hodge and Maryland senior Drew Nicholas. Though McCants’ statistics match up with anybody’s, his candidacy is hurt by UNC’s poor play this season. While Nicholas, Howard, and Hodge have led their respective teams to the top three spots in the ACC, the Tar Heels (11-9, 2-5 ACC) have stumbled to seventh in the conference standings. Even if McCants fails in his bid to

make history as the first freshman ACC player of the year, he is still on track to record one of the finest seasons ever by an ACC freshman. The only players to be named First Team All-ACC as freshmen—a distinction McCants is probable of earning—are Skip Wise, Kenny Anderson, Joe Smith, Stephen Marbury, and Antawn Jamison. As freshmen, only Mark Price, Anderson, Smith, and Marbury have ever averaged more than McCants’ current pace of 18.8 ppg. Interestingly, McCants and his considerable talents could well have been playing for, rather than against, the Blue Devils, had Duke been interested. McCants wanted to play with his good friend J.J. Redick, but Duke only lightly recruited him. “Duke was, going into my junior year, the place I wanted to go,” McCants said.

VERN VERNA/AI

RASHAD McCANTS is making a bid to be the first freshman to win ACC player of the year honors. “J.J. [Redick] and I talked about it, and both of us wanted to go there. I wanted to be the kind of team leader that [Shane Battier] was, but I didn’t get the opportunity to go to the same place.” If McCants is able to lead his Tar Heels to an upset over the Blue Devils, Duke may long regret failing to recruit one of the best freshman performers in ACC history.

Williams returns to Cameron for jersey retirement By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle In three years at Duke University, defenders had few options in guarding Jay Williams. Take away his right hand, he would score with his left. Take away his drive, he’d drain a three. But at tonight’s game against North Carolina, the rafters in Cameron will finally Catch-22. The two-time national player of the year who led the Blue Devils to the 2001 national championship will have his No. 22 jersey retired, becoming the 11th Duke player to receive the honor. “I am honored that Duke has chosen to recognize me in this way,” Wiliams said in a statement. “Duke is a place with such amazing tradition. To have a banner with my number hanging among some of the truly great college basketball players in history will be a tremendous honor for me and my family.” Graduating in three years with a degree in sociology, Williams is the first Duke player to receive this honor without completing his four years of varsity eligibility. Despite not playing for his senior season as the rest of the Duke legends did, the decision to eternally honor Williams was an easy one. “It’s the only decision,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I’m not sure a lot of people realize that a jersey here cannot be retired until a kid graduates. Jason—he’s still Jason—he deserves it.” Although the retirement ceremony brings closure to Williams’ spectacular career, things were far from stable when the New Jersey native first arrived on campus in the fall of 1999.

In the season prior to Williams’ freshman year, a youthful Duke team dominated college basketball until Connecticut upset the Blue Devils in the national championship game. Senior sharp-shooter Trajan Langdon was the only expected departure from that team, but after national player of the year Elton Brand, point-guard William Avery and freshman six-man Corey Maggette left for the NBA and reserve center Chris Burgess transferred to Utah, the cupboard was nearly bare as Williams eagerly arrived in Durham. Given the starting point-guard job immediately, Williams gave Blue Devil fans plenty of doubts about their team, which just months before appeared to be on the brink of becoming a dynasty, after his poor play led to an 0-2 start. Williams quickly learned the college game, however, eventually winning National Freshman of the Year honors from the Sporting News and the ACC tournament’s MVP award. It was not until Williams’ sophomore year, though, that the former McDonald’s All-American earned legendary status. In a consensus All-American season, Williams averaged 21.6 points per game en route to winning the National Association of Basketball Coaches Player of he Year Award and leading the Blue

Devils to the national championship.

“His accomplishments speak for

themselves,” Krzyzewski said. “When those spirits come down from Cameron 50 years from now, and they’re all matching their records, Jay can put his cards on the table with any of the

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

JAY WILLIAMS’ BANNER (far right) hangs in Cameron Indoor Stadium. He will be honored tonight. other guys who are up there.” Williams returned for his junior year and flourished once again, being named consensus national player of the year. Although the defending national champions finished the season on a low note by losing to Indiana in the Sweet 16, Williams proudly finished his academic career by graduating in three years via summer school. “He honored his commitment to the University, and to himself,” Krzyzewski said. Williams was selected as the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft in June 2000, but is struggling through his first season,

averaging only 9.2 points per game. But according to his former teammates, Williams is satisfied with his decision to leave Duke for the riches of the NBA. “I’ve talked to him two or three times about what’s happening in Chicago,” former classmate and current Duke center Casey Sanders said. “I think he’s pleased with his decision.” No matter what Williams does outside of Duke, the program will forever embrace his jersey, thankful for all the great memories he created. “I hope we play well for him,” Krzyzewski said.

getting younger.

Carolina 9 wrestling team is

on court

Unfortunately for Duke, and the rest of the ACC for that matter, it’s only getting better. The Tar Heels came into Cameron Indoor Stadium last night led by three nationally ranked wrestlers, all of whom are sophomores, and beat Duke for the 28th consecutive year. UNC, who upped its record to 7-3 overall, 3-1 in the ACC, did not even wrestle its returning All-American Chris Rodrigues, ranked No. 13 in the country, en route to a 29-9 win over the Blue Devils (6-7, 0-1). Rodrigues, who wrestled Monday night in an all-star meet in Delaware, had a slightly injured knee, and veteran Tar Heel coach Bill Lam, who is in his 30th season in Chapel Hill, opted to hold him out against the Blue Devils’

Tommy Hoang. “If [the match] got tight, if he had to wrestle, he would’ve,” Lam said. “I would’ve liked to have him wrestle. It’s going to hurt us in seeding [for the conference tournament].” Freshman 141-pounder Brian Baglio led offfor the Tar Heels, escaping with a well-fought 3-1 win over Duke junior Adam Benitez, giving UNC an early 3-0 advantage. Baglio, a blue-chip recruit See WRESTLING on page 10

This evening, Duke will send number 22 to the rafters. It’s too bad that it can’t send the jersey—with Jay Williams inside ofit—onto the court instead. Williams will be in attendance to watch Duke retire his jersey before tipping off against UNC. But when the game begins, he will be watching a team quite different from the one he left

behind a year ago. Gone is the player who made a 10point Maryland lead dis\ appear is under a minute. Gone is the point guard who can W drive the lane, maneuver around two defenders and score. Gone is t’ the player who could hit Evan Davis one clutch three-pointer From tke cheap seats after another. Gone is number 22. Williams brought to Durham a sort of magic that only a handful of players truly possess. He was truly one of the great players to ever play college basketball, and Duke’s performance this season stands as a testament to that. Granted, •

No. 1 no longer: Kentucky routs visiting Gators By CHRIS DUNCAN The Associated Press

Florida (18-3, 70 LEXINGTON, Ky. 7-1) hardly looked like the No. 1 Florida 55 team in the country Tuesday night. The No. 6Kentucky Wildcats’ defense made sure of it. Keith Bogans scored 15points—all in the first half—as Kentucky beat the Gators 70-55, snapping Florida’s 14-game winning streak one day after it moved to the top of the poll for the first time in school history. The active, swarming Wildcats (17-3, 7-0 SEC) held Florida to 34 percent shooting, including 36 percent from 3-point range, and forced 19 turnovers. “Our guys hung our heads when the shots weren’t falling,” Florida head coach Billy Donovan said. “Our mindset was too much on offense and scoring. They took us out of our game.” Gerald Fitch had 14 points for Kentucky, which won its 11th straight game, its second-longest winning streak in coach Tubby Smith’s six seasons. The Wildcats haven’t won their first seven league games since 199798, their last national championship season. “We think we’re the No. 1 team. That’s what we wanted to show everybody,” Fitch said. “I think we did a good job of showing them.” Anthony Roberson scored 18 points for the Gators. Donovan said his team was not affected by being

Jaromir Jagr scored his 500th career goal Tuesday during a hat trick in a 5-1 win over Tampa Bay. He is the 33rd player in NHL history to reach that mark.

“This was perfect timing for us to be No. 1 because us playing Kentucky overshadowed the ranking,” Donovan said. “It’s a big conference matchup with both teams undefeated and working for first place in the league. We didn’t have to answer a lot of questions about being No. 1.” The Gators hit four of their first seven shots before Kentucky’s defense seized control. For the rest of the half, Florida hardly got an open look and the Wildcats seemed to track down every loose ball. “Not to take anything away from Florida, but we had their number tonight,” said Kentucky guard Cliff Hawkins, who had four points and eight assists. Kentucky finished the half on a 23-4 run as Florida missed 21 of its last 23 shots and committed

eight turnovers.

The Wildcats scored 14-straight points over one five-minute stretch. “We were kind of surprised. We thought they had more firepower,” said Kentucky forward Chuck Hayes, who had nine points and eight rebounds. Bogans shot 6-of-ll in the first half. The Wildcats went 19-of-37from the field in the opening half, including 7-of-12 from - 3-point range. “Once we heard they were No. 1, we got excited like kids,” Hayes said. “In my two years, this has to be the most fun we’ve had. When you play basketball like that, it’s a lot of fun.”

in two of the next three weight classes with returning national qualifiers at both 165- and 184-pounds. Junior Michael Mitchell looked to rebound after a disappointing loss last week against the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, but was taken down early by UNO’s Jimmy O’Connor at 165-pounds. With a 2-0 lead to begin the second period, O’Connor gave up an escape to Mitchell but subsequently took him down again for a 5-2 advantage heading into the final frame. Mitchell managed a takedown halfway through the period to cut O’Connor’s lead to 6-4, but after giving up an escape for another attempt at a takedown, was taken down himself trying for a five-

WRESTLING from page 9 for Carolina, fought off several deep shots by Benitez in the first period to keep the score tied at zero. After escaping to start the second period, Baglio countered a Benitez shot for a takedown and a three-point lead. Redshirt senior Chris DiGiuseppe followed with a very physical first period against Duke freshman Brandon Foose. DiGiuseppe took Foose down only 20 seconds into the match and almost immediately took the freshman to his back with a power-half and gut-wrench for three near-fall points. However, Foose kept his composure and only let up another set of backpoints at the beginning of the third period in desperation. DiGiuseppe’s 10-2 major decision gave UNC a 7-0 lead. After Duke senior Ben Balmages dropped a 9-6 decision to redshirt sophomore Nick Royer at 157-pounds, the Blue Devils looked at a 10-0 deficit, but had a good opportunity to score points

DAVIS from page 9 some point out the fact that Duke is struggling inside this season following Carlos Boozer’s departure for the NBA. Others say that Mike Dunleavy’s versatility would have been a big help this season. But what Duke misses most right now is not size, agility or experience—it’s

the intangible feeling that could galvanize the team just from watching number 22 handle the ball.

Entering this season, junior point guard Chris Duhon was asked to somehow fill Williams’ shoes. As the team’s lone captain, Duhon has performed

The Chronicle

9-3 to begin the third, Marcantonio almost gave Duke six points when he unleashed a ferocious headlock on Canty near the edge ofthe mat. The Tar Heel let out a yelp as he was taken down, but his shoulders were out of the circle so Marcantonio could not accumulate any back points. Canty wound up escaping with a 12-8 decision and gave

point move and lost 8-3. Junior Tim Marcantonio gave the Blue Devils an emotional boost at 174pounds with an early takedown against the Tar Heels’ Mark Canty, a national qualifier. Canty, however, escaped and scored another five points in the first period with a takedown and a bulldogride near-fall for a 6-2 advantage. Down

UNC a 16-0 advantage. Duke finally got on the scoreboard when Tom Cass beat No. 20 Dusty Heist at 184-pounds, by a 7-3 count. “That was a big, big win for Tom Cass,” Duke coach Clar Anderson said. “[Heist] is nationally ranked and has placed in a lot of tournaments. Tom did a great job.” Cass hit a beautiful duck-under just over a minute into the match and added backpoints. Heist escaped, but Cass took him down again with an elbow shuck for a 7-1 advantage early in the match. Cass, who is seldom taken down, wrestled very defensively for the final two periods, but held on for a 7-3 win. The win was Cass’ 11th

admirably as a floor general and Duke’s six freshmen frequently point out his role in the locker room as the team’s leader. But on the court, Duhon has not been able to match the ability to maneuver and score that Williams brought to the team. In all three of Duke’s losses this season, Duhon hasn’t been the one taking the final shots to try to bring the Blue Devils back into the game. Most recently, against Florida State, Duhon took only seven shots in 31 minutes of acton. This season, Duhon has averaged only 7.6 field goal attempts per game, while Williams put up an average of 14.6 shots per game in his Duke career. Two seasons ago, much was made

about the mentor-protege relationship that Williams and Duhon enjoyed. Now, the Chicago Bulls rookie will sit in the stands as Duhon tries to lead his team past its most storied rival, something that Williams did in seven of the eight games times he played against the Tar Heels. Regardless of the game’s outcome, thought, Williams’ night will be capped off by the ceremony that makes his the 11th number to hang from Cameron’s rafters. It’s only a matter of time before the comparisons begin between Williams and Johnny Dawkins, a former Duke point guard and current associate head coach whose number 24 has also been retired. But perhaps more fitting is a compar-

in a row and the senior is now 16-6.

After Carolina freshman David Dashiell, a No.l recruit from last year, scored a major decision over Duke’s Andrew Herbert at 197-pounds, the teams traded forfeits before Duke senior Andy Soliman lost a well fought 11-5 decision to UNC sophomore Evan Sola, ranked 18th in the country. “Soliman wrestled well against Sola. He couldn’t get out on bottom and that’s where Sola’s strengths’ lie,” Anderson said. “I was pleased with our fight tonight. It’s a shame that where we were strong, they were strong.” UNC 29, Duke 9 Weight

The Chronicle Changing Central Well-conceived plan to revitalize Central Campus promises to transform Duke into a more cohesive, enjoyable and vibrant place

Recently

released plans for the renovation of Central show a promising vision for the University that will turn the currently rundown backwater that is Central into an integral part of the campus. The plan includes demolishing almost all of the current structures on Central and replacing them with a “University Village,” with apartment housing for 800 undergraduates, more than 200 graduate students, faculty and staff and retail space, a hotel and an amphitheater. Moreover, the University will revitalize its on-campus transportation system, perhaps eliminating buses and building a monorail This whole project promises to make Duke a more welcoming place to all types of students. Transforming part of Central Campus into a type of “Main Street” will add to campus an element similar to that of Franklin Street in Chapel Hill and has the potential to be a major attraction for students. Importantly, the administration in these plans seems to be looking toward providing students with social spaces on campus, something that Duke currently lacks in sufficient quantity. By adding a promenade with shops and restaurants of some sort, even if they are in a limited quantity, the student experience at Duke will vastly improve. Moreover, East Campus and West Campus currently feel like entirely separate environments, totally disconnected from one another and certainly disconnected from Central Campus. This plan will make Central an integral part ofthe University campus as a whole and will integrate the entire campus into one cohesive unit. Changing the transportation system is also vital. The bus system is expensive, inefficient and environmentally unfriendly. A monorail system promises to be far more reliable at moving people around campus and getting them where they need to go on time. However, one of the greatest advantages of the bus system is its flexibility, some of which could be lost with a monorail. Overall, however, the renovations for Central Campus promise to turn a currently decrepit area into a thriving center of University life. Ultimately, though, if Duke truly wants to improve the student experience, it should work on improving the surrounding Durham area. Only then will Duke be able to compete with many of its peer institutions that have thriving city environments beyond their campus walls.

On the record I go home. Former Durham mayor Nick Tennyson, on how he spends his life these days now that he is no longer involved in the wheelings and dealings of local politics (see story, page one).

Columnist guilty of perpetuating racial stereotypes For a columnist supposedly concerned with racial issues, Nikyatu Jusu showed surprising inconsistency in her Friday column. In the process of describing how victimized she is by racially oriented body image stereotypes, she refers to her own rear end as a “medium-sized Asian-girl booty,” thereby accepting and perpetuating a stereotype identical to the one she spends the rest of her column decrying.

Online humor magazine inappropriately vulgar I got an email the other day to look at Malignant Humor, this new online humor magazine, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was surprised and shocked by much of what they put up on

about what it’s like to be a black man in this country, dealing with a society that views you as a rapist and a criminal. The magazine also makes jokes about black women hating other women and hating themselves. In addition to the website’s insulting portrayals of women, it glorifies alcohol consumption, trivializes sexually transmitted diseases and is often inappropriately vulgar. I urge my fellow, sophisticated classmates to stay away from

the website. As a black man, I am upset that someone finds it funny to keep perpetuating the stereotype of the black man as a dumb, sexcrazed beast. The sad irony is that these little opinion columns on their site were probably written by some

white kid who has no clue

the publication and not justify this magazine’s existence by reading its poor excuses for humor. Not to mention that Duke already has an

adequately funny and nonoffensive humor publication, Carpe Diem. Our University publishes many excellent literary, photography, scientific and general interest journals. Sadly, Malignant Humor does not fall into any ofthese categories.

Automatic gratuity at Washington Duke unfair I’m writing this letter in the hopes that other Duke students may be better informed of the practices of the Fairview Restaurant at the Washington Duke Inn. I was dining in the sports bar during the women’s basketball game this past weekend with four of my friends. There were a couple of other student groups in the bar area, but largely it was composed of other patrons. Having waited tables myself before, I can truly say that our server was the worst waiter I

have ever had the “pleasure” of encountering. He pointedly ignored our table in several ways while apparently providing attentively for the non-student tables. It is not my aim to complain about one waiter, however, as one will encounter

poor service from time to time. Our dissatisfaction came from the fact that when we received our bills, we were automatically charged a 19 percent gratuity, which this terrible waiter wouldreceive. In the menu it stated groups of six or more would be charged as such but as we were a table of five, we wondered what was at work here. After summoning the manager, we were informed that all Duke students are charged the 19 percent, regardless of party number, as part of our points plan. When asked why this wasn’t stated on the menu, he offered that “it must have been written somewhere on some contract that we signed.” While I have not found this information in any contract of which I

am part, as of yet, I am more upset at the utter lack of power

and consideration which is given to us as Duke students. We were second-class diners, unable to exert any influence or input on how well our waiter was appraised. While I do not believe my experience to be representative of the restaurant’s service as a whole, I think it worthwhile to inform the rest of the student community of such practices. As a final point, if you should receive such service, don’t feel powerless. Insist that they reissue your bill, paying instead with cash or credit card, subverting this system, and enabling you to have some say.

Commentary

The Chronicle

Would you let your sister come to Duke? While home over break my little sister and I started talking colleges. Although she has been dragged along for two older brothers worth of college visits she admitted to me in confidence that she didn’t really “pay jfPl|| much attention during all those infor- m? mation sessionsl told her not to worry—neither had I. One thing led to another and she R eil asked me ifI thought she should apply p rove l to Duke. My initial reaction was of Y Bw a Vowel course; it’s a great place. After all, it’s where I go; I am placing myself under a pile of financial burden just to stay here. I mean its so much fun, I am learning so much.... Right? Just as quickly as these thoughts came into my head I realized that these were only my justifications on why I should stay and not make the scary leap to some other place (which I know could be just as bad, or is that just another justification?). I thought of the dead social scene on campus. Did I really want to pass that onto my sister? I get a little unsettled at the thought of my little sister trucking off to a random offcampus party (Safe Rides claims to service off campus, but real life has taught almost all of us differently). We label ourselves “tomorrow’s leaders,” yet wake up early on a Sunday morning and you’ll find a campus covered in broken glass, aluminum cans and garbage. Just because George W is destroying the environment doesn’t mean we should. On a weekly basis we trash one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Walk across this campus, the diversity that Duke points to on bar graphs is quickly translated into an almost segregated campus. Yeah, sure, argue that most places aren’t much better. You know that they can’t be much worse. Academically I wondered how great this place is. My sister tells me she is interested in art and biology. That’s cool—l am an architecture major because I love design, and it allows me to take courses in almost every differentfield. Architecture had the added benefit of being a Program II major getting me out of the nuttiness ofCurriculum 2000. Under Curriculum 2000 you can barely graduate as a biology major alone on time, let alone trying to pursue an interest in art. For anyone with remotely different interests, Duke has made them very hard to pursue. I once heard a saying that most kids are more interesting coming into Duke (remember all the kids they bragged about in your orientation?) than they were four years later upon graduation. Academically it took me two years to really become stimulated by something, it was only three years and almost $120,000 (for the same amount I could have gone to a strong state school for nine years) into college that I met a group of teachers that really stimulated me intellectually. Maybe some did it faster, but I didn’t know a soul when I got here. It will easily cost most Duke students over $150,000 to go here, much more when you factor in the interest on your loans. Are we getting our money’s worth? Honestly ask yourself the same question, would you recommend Duke to someone you cared about? Why? Why not? This weekend I came up with one solid reason why I wouldn’t mind seeing my sister take an interest in Duke. The women’s basketball team represents to me something I can really respect. A group that stands up to the academic bar, are amazing athletes and are grounded in the real world. I don’t think I would mind if my sisters choose one of them as a role model over me. So I realize that this is the column that the jaded senior is supposed to write, but too bad the juniors got hit with Curriculum 2000, the closing of the Hideaway and Duke’s ever decreasing commitment to a safe social campus, and then came the new housing system. It’s easy to see why we are all a little tired of this. So, did I tell my sister to look at Duke? I didn t suggest it. After all, who would tell his sister to go to a school where the campus judicial board has never actually convicted a Duke student of a rape, although one in four girls will have to deal with rape or an attempted rape in college?

Manufacturing intellectualism A couple ofyears ago, I went on a five-day field trip to Yellowstone National Park with some Duke students. It was one of those classes from hell. The students weren’t particularly rowdy. I could tell that they were trying to be on good behavior. But they showed so little intellectual interest in the field trip that I

‘jjj

First, I tried to cajole. Then I gave up on being nice and swore. Finally, I | went back to being nice. I was trying to Stuart educate, but it wasn’t working. Mostly, RQjstaczer I was ignored. On the last day of the field trip, I took From a Dtaance them out to a bar. I had a couple of shots. They had more than a few. It was, in my opinion, a fair deal. After five emotionally trying days, I needed those drinks a hell of a lot more than the students. Almost all of the classes that I’ve taught at Duke have been much better than my class from hell. In fact, I ran that same field trip last semester and it went very well. It wasn’t close to perfect. But there was a decent level of intellectual engagement. For me, that’s what teaching is all about. I came home happy. My typical experience with teaching undergraduates has been between these two extremes. Some classes have had a reasonable level of intellectual intensity. Most ~

haven’t. What’s curious to me is that while my hindsight views of my classes usually have not been positive, students tell me through theirreviews in class after class that I’m doing a great job. They say that my classes have a lot of valuable and insightful discussion. That only serves to tell me that it’s likely that a good number of classes at Duke are worse. On the other side of the coin are serious students who

find out that many of our classes are so cheesy that they could be comatose and still get an A. Or they enroll in a class only to be told by the professor on the first day that, “These are my office hours, but please don’t bother me unless it’s an emergency.” Intellectually, undergraduate life at Duke is weak. It’s a fact that has been stated by many in print, both students and faculty. It’s been stated so often that whatever shock value such statements once had has long since disappeared. A lot of people, including me, would like to see this lamentable situation change. Duke leadership, including its president, would like to see it change. But they are too wimpy to say so publicly. Instead they brought in a ringer, Larry Moneta, to try to shake things up. I don’t think that there is much that Moneta can do that would make a substantive difference. Intellectualism can’t be manufactured by social organizing and rearranging housing. Many of Moneta’s ideas certainly can’t hurt. It can’t hurt to have the occasional genteel theme dinner. It can’t hurt to have a group besides fraternities dominate social life. There are aspects of Moneta’s “village” concept that are less than desirable. Parts of Moneta’s village seem so artificial and sanitized that Duke is driving students underground to make an alternative village, one that poses more potential danger to student safety than anything that took place in the Duke of old. But whatever changes have taken place and are planned, the transformation that is necessary to make Duke a serious, intellectually enriching place is beyond the power of Moneta. It’s beyond the power ofKeohane as well.

brothers” in 2002 to “not have any mercy on Jews, their blood, their money their flesh. Their women are yours to take, legitimately. God made them yours. Why don’t you enslave their women?” In Sudan, a fatwa in 1992 endorsed by the oil-funded theocracy states “a non-Muslim is a non-believer standing against the spread of Islam, and Islam grants the freedom of killing him”. Hundreds of thousands of black Africans are enslaved by Arab masters. According to Abaimik Hino of Wingate University, over 2,000 Sudanese slaves are shipped to the Arab world annually. Dr. George Ayittey, a Ghanaian-bom professor at American University, commented on lack of Western outrage: “We feel betrayed, not only by our leaders in Africa, but by our fellow Africans in the diaspora. While African-American leaders played important roles in dismantling apartheid in South Africa, they maintain a passive stance on Arab apartheid and enslavement of black Africans.” Where are liberals? Too busy divesting from Israel and bashing America? Imbued with Wahhabism and Salafism, sects borne in Saudi Arabia, Islamic fundamentalists view most Muslims as apostates. With oil money, they’ve exported toxic notions and hatched terrorism from Indonesia to Nigeria. Now they want to achieve Islamic fundamentalist empire.

Liberals and moderate Muslims must open their eyes: Islamic fundamentalist
