has reversed its decision and will admit a class, albeit a smaller-than-usual one of four or five students. The department’s problem stemmed from admitting too many students over the last three years, said Ron Witt, history professor and director of graduate studies. Departments are able to cut expenditures when graduate students drop out, study abroad or opt to obtain a master’s degree rather than a doctorate—departures that are expected with every class. However, fewer departures than were expected occurred this year, leaving the history department overextended. “It’s always a game because the amount of money you actually have is never equivalent to the number of students you have in-course,” Witt said. ‘We were playing that game—and every department does that—and I guess we just played it badly.” The department’s smaller incoming class comes at a time when its applicant pool is strong, said Dean of the Graduate School Lewis Siegel. “The thing that should be realized is that there aren’t any fewer graduate

students [applying],” Siegel said. “The

After more than a month of tense memo exchanges, Duke University Health System agreed Thursday to rate reductions by the State Employees Health Plan, which had been threatening to end its contract with DUHS effective April 30. According to SEHP representatives, DUHS—the state insurance plan’s biggest client—was the only North Carolina hospital not to agree to reduced rates of compensation for three services: inpatient mental health, rehabilitation and chemical dependency. The agreement was reached Thursday afternoon when DUHS Chief Financial Officer Kenneth Morris and Assistant Vice President of Managed Care for DUHS Corporate Finance Elizabeth Nowak met with Jack Walker, the executive administrator of the state plan, and Zorba Howell, a hospital contracting specialist. The officers agreed on a contract that sets rates for the three services for a one-year period. See STATE PLAN on page 12

Chronicle staff elects Garinger as editor of 99th volume From staff reports

The editorial staff of The Chronicle has elected junior Alex Garinger to serve as the newspaper’s editor for its 99th year of publication. At a meeting Friday afternoon, Garinger, now the newspaper’s University editor, was named editor of The Chronicle and president of Duke Student Publishing Company, Inc., the independent corporation responsible for publishing the campus’ student-run daily newspaper. Garinger will succeed senior Dave Ingram for a oneyear term beginning May 11. As editor, Garinger will determine the newspaper’s content and lead a staff of more than 100 student volunteer reporters, editors, photographers and layout

designers. His responsibilities as DSPC president will include preserving the corporation’s dual mission of providing journalism opportunities for Duke students and delivering information to the community. In his speech, Garinger offered the staff an ambitious agenda that includes updating the newspaper’s design, expanding staff training and incorporating greater narrative voice into The Chronicle, Recess and TowerView. “As The Chronicle enters its 99th year of publication, we need to bring a new sense of ambition and risk-taking to the creation of a paper that our readers will see

Inoirlp oidiuc

as more personal, visually appealing and provocative,” he told the staff. “It is time to push the envelope.” Garinger said a redesign ofThe Chronicle is essential to making the newspaper more accessible to readers. He hopes to organize a design team that will pro-

mote fresh layouts and coordinate the daily interplay of stories, photographs and graphics. During his term as University editor of the 98th volume, Garinger helped lead a staff of nine associate editors through extensive coverage of Duke affairs. Staffers report that Garinger has been an enthusiastic, dedicated leader with an endless source of fresh ideas. Garinger began his career at The Chronicle as a reporter for the University department during the first semester of his freshman year. He then served as an associate wire editor the sec-

ond semester of his freshman year before moving to the University department in his sophomore year, working as an associate editor. He also served as an associate film editor for Recess that year. One month after his February 2002 election, Ingram appointed Garinger University editor. Hailing from Greenwich, Conn., Garinger is a literature major and plans to earn certificates in journalism and film and video. After graduation, he intends to pursue a career in journalism, film or theater.

Use of force possible, Powell warns Unless Iraq complies, Bush will press Security Council to allow military action By STEVEN WEISMAN

New York Times News Service

Secretary of WASHINGTON State Colin Powell warned Sunday that if Saddam Hussein was still not

cooperating with U.N. weapons inspectors at the end of this week, President Bush would press “immediately” for consideration of a Security Council resolution authorizing possible use of force against Iraq. Powell’s comments laid out what appeared to be an accelerating timetable in the confrontation with Iraq, even as France, Germany and other members of the Security Council continued to call for more time before considering the use of force. Bush and his national security ad-

viser, Condoleezza Rice, also said time was running short, as the administration seemed to be setting in motion a

Wing damage posed risk in shuttle crash By DAVID SANGER

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON Studies conducted by NASA over the last four years concluded that damage to the brittle, heat-shedding material on the leading edge of the space shuttle Columbia’s wings posed one of the highest risks of a catastrophic accident.

The studies focused largely on the tremendous damage that could be caused in the unlikely event that a tiny meteroid or other bit of orbital debris hit the leading edge of a wing, which is made of a lightweight material called reinforced carbon-carbon. That is still one of the theories about what might have caused the disintegration of the Columbia on Feb. 1. But in interviews, engineers for NASA and one of its leading contractors said there was comparatively little

perhaps of testing to determine if slower-moving debris the kind that fell off the shuttle’s external tank 80 seconds after liftoff on Jan. 16—posed a similar hazard. As a result, said one engineer familiar with the discussions that took place at NASA in mid-January, the engineers, who saw little risk from the debris that hit the Columbia’s left wing, had scant information to back up their assertion. “People came to the conclusion that whatever damage happened was tolerable, but it’s not clear that was based on any solid data,” said the engineer, who asked not to be identified because NASA has not allowed them to speak to reporters without prior authorization. “The testing data just wasn’t there.” See NASA on page 12

Administrators told the biological anthropology and anatomy faculty Fri-

day that although the University will

support only six or seven faculty positions when the department moves entirely within Arts and Sciences, its financial commitment to BAA will not waver. The School of Medicine will also provide financial support, effectively adding two professors and bringing the department’s total size to nine. William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, and Berndt Mueller, dean of natural sciences, met with BAA faculty to clarify plans for the reorganization of the department. Two weeks ago, a proposed reduction of BAA faculty from 17 to six over the next several years upset the department’s faculty, many of whom saw the drastic reduction as equivalent to

DUPD starts ‘Alert Team’ after East hold-up From staff reports Following a mid-January alleged armed robbery of several Duke students on East Campus, campus police last week activated an “Alert Team” consisting of uniformed Duke and Durham police officers. The officers’ hours will vary and patrols will concentrate primarily on the inner and outer perimeters of East Campus, officials said. Duke University Police Department spokesperson Maj. Robert Dean would not elaborate on the number of officers on duty each day, or on their responsibilities, but said the system is analogous to one instituted last year following a similar incident.

Sophomores give mixed reactions to linked housing By JENNI HAINSFURTHER

the regular lottery and was eventually assigned a room on Main West. “It’s a good system but you can’t make everybody happy.”

■

The Chronicle

As next year’s housing selection draws near, students and administrators are reflecting with mixed reactions to the inaugural year of linked houses. Although administrators said it is too early to tell whether linked housing is a success, students reported that having friends close by in their quadrangles is a clear benefit. Last year, 765 freshmen chose to link—or 66 percent of all unaffiliated freshmen. “You have a wonderful situation on East Campus where you bring an eclectic group of students together who are basically strangers. After a while, relationships develop,” said Deb LoBiondo, assistant dean of students, adding that a major goal of linking houses was to allow students to carry the sense of East’s all-freshmen community to West Campus. The system allows each freshman the option to live in a certain quadrangle on West Campus sophomore year with other members of his first-year dormitory. It is part of a wide-ranging residential life plan that also mandates that all sophomores live on West and that the corridor down the center of Main West Campus be reserved for students who are not members of selective living groups. The idea of linked houses was originally developed by a 2000-2001 task force on residential life chaired by William Chafe, vice provost for undergraduate education. “So many first year students loved their experience living together on East that we wanted to at least create as one of the structured options for them the chance to stay with the people they lived with their first year,” said Chafe, who is also dean of the faculty of arts and sciences. Sophomore Kevin Riddles, who lived in Brown Dormitory last year, said he linked in part because he liked the community he lived in as a freshman. “One reason [I decided to link] was to stay with the same group of

Additionally, not all students wanted to remain housed with peers living in the same building. “It was an unfair advantage to people who happened to be friends with the people in their dorms,” said sophomore Laura Castaing, who also chose not to link. Loßiondo noted that even students who. choose to link are scattered throughout an entire quad. She said there remains a need for a mechanism to bring those people together—pointing to options like quad dinners held each semester in The Great Hall and programming options exclusively for sophomores.

She added that this semester, fresh-

Sophomore Dominique Bailey, who also chose to link, said she liked the idea last year, but that her experience this year has not exactly matched her memories of East. “I don’t see anybody from my dorm except the people that I blocked with,” she said. “I was going into the whole thing thinking it would be like [my freshman dormitory Gilbert-Addoms] all over again. I don’t think it’s something that can be consolidated. When you go on West it’s a lot larger.”

Riddles said the fact that students who chose to link received higher priority in the housing lottery was also a compelling factor for him. Because Brown was linked to Craven Quadrangle, Riddles said the option to live on Main West was a “big plus.” For students whose linked quad was farther from the beaten path, the option was not so clear. Many students, including sophomore Kasey Smith, chose not to link. “Southgate was linked to Edens, so it couldn’t get any worse,” said Smith, who ended up in

members of the quad where they will have the option to live next year. “It’s hard to measure success when we’ve done little to no assessment,” ’LoBiondo said. “Anecdotally, my sense is that having all of our sophomores on West has been a positive experience.” Loßiondo said her office has not yet conducted a survey to gauge student satisfaction with linked housing. She said she would eventually like to see rising juniors have priority to remain in their quads next year. “I would love to see the congruency last another year,” Loßiondo said. “It’s very valuable to have upperclass students in our residence halls with our

sophomores.” Others, though, acknowledge the difficulties of recreating first-year residential life. Comparing her freshman year experience to this year, Bailey said, “When you’re a freshman everything is new and different. You go in there and really don’t know anybody. Once you move to West you already have your established friends. In terms of it being a freshman experience all over again, I don’tknow if it’s possible to make West like that.”

Pope sends envoy to Iraq in attempt to prevent war By FRANK BRUNI

pope, along with other Vatican offi-

New York Times News Service

The Vatican announced Sunday that Pope John Paul II was sending a special envoy to Baghdad to try to persuade Iraq to cooperate fully with weapons inspections. The decision intends to prevent an American-led ROME

military strike. The announcement came as the pope, in his usual Sunday address in Vatican City, strongly restated his worry over the course that events seemed to be taking, and it represented the boldest step yet in the Vatican’s growing diplomatic efforts to attempt

to avert war. In a statement released late Sunday morning, Dr. Joaquin Navarro-

Valls, the pope’s spokesman, said that Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, a retired Frenchman who served as the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, would leave Rome for Baghdad Monday. Navarro-Valls said in the statement, which was issued in Italian, that the goal of the mission was to “demonstrate to all the plea of the Holy Father in favor of peace and to help Iraqi authorities make a serious reflection on the duty of an effective international commitment based on justice and international rights.” Navarro-Valls went on to say that such a reflection would be useful in guaranteeing that the Iraqi people receive “the supreme good of peace.” Over the past month and a half, the

cials and Roman Catholic leaders here who are close to the Vatican, has repeatedly expressed opposition to a possible war in Iraq. “No to war!” the pope said in a speech on Jan. 13 to ambassadors to the Vatican from around the world. “War is not always inevitable,” he said, adding that war is “always a defeat for humanity.” More recently, as the Vatican has stepped up its diplomatic efforts, emissaries from nations that are working to head off a military strike against Iraq have sought to underscore the Vatican’s opposition to a war. Friday, the German foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, met with John Paul in Vatican City, then held a news conference to assert their joint concern over the situation. Later this week, the pope is expected to meet at the Vatican with Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz of Iraq. Several days after that, he is scheduled to meet with the U.N. secretary-general, Kofi Annan. The Vatican also opposed the Persian GulfWar in 1991, and that oftenarticulated position served to strain the diplomatic relationship with the United States at that particular time. But after the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, the pope said that nations had a moral and legal right to defend themselves against terrorism.

Bush’s ’O4 budget changes major social programs By SUSAN MILLIGAN The Boston Globe

With little fanfare, President WASHINGTON George W Bush has proposed a dramatic overhaul in the Great Society programs created in the 1960s to provide a safety net for the poor and the aged. His 2004 budget outlines a series of sweeping changes in social programs—from Head Start to Medicaid—that have long been targets of conservative criticism. Bush’s spending plan, which he submitted last Monday to the Republican-controlled Congress, would give the states more power in administering Medicaid, the health program for the poor, and in controlling Head Start, the preschool program for disadvantaged children. The president’s proposals for Medicare would encourage elderly beneficiaries to join health maintenance organizations. Among the incentives would be a prescription drug benefit, offered in exchange for patients leaving the traditional system subsidized by the

government, which involves payments of separate fees for each given medical service.

tered, and would shift federal oversight from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Education Department. States could combine Head Start funds with federal education funds. Scott McClellan, a White House spokesman, said the changes had been designed to improve how the programs are run, a task that he said is better done by the states. “The approach is to make these programs work better and to meet their goals, to make sure that we’re achieving results in these programs,” McClellan said. Critics say that shifting authority to the states could lead the federal government out of the business of providing a social safety net for the needy and the sick. Additionally, the critics say, program quality could vary widely across the 50 states. The changes were suggested with little of the ideological head-butting that followed previous Republican efforts to revise social programs. Two days after Re-

publicans won control of the House in 1994, for instance, Newt Gingrich of Georgia, then House Republican whip, gave a speech in Washington declaring that the “welfare state” programs had to be “thoroughly replaced.” (The future House speaker later revised his remarks to say the programs should be reexamined.) Opposition from President Clinton and interest groups blocked major changes. Bush released his budget proposals last week without the bluster of the Gingrich era. Working with the Republican-controlled House and Senate, the president is well-positioned to push his agenda through Congress. And even longtime champions of programs like Medicaid and Head Start have acknowledged a need for some improvements. The administration’s fixes follow conservative principles of limiting the federal role in social programs, giving more power to states, providing beneficiaries with more choice, and relying to a greater

extent on market forces.

These changes—if approved by Congres—could

amount to the biggest revisions in social programs since

Lyndon B. Johnson. “It does stand out as a more radical change than anything we’ve seen in more than 30 years,” said Robert Greenstein of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal research group. “When you look at the budget,” said Greenstein, the center’s president, “you actually see it starts a process of gradually disassembling central features of core safety net programs, in particular those programs targeted at people with low incomes.” Medicaid, a $3OO billion program, is now administered and partly funded by states, with federal matching funds. Under Bush’s proposal, states would be given an early financial incentive to accept block grants for Medicaid, locking in a limited federal contribution. In addition, lawmakers in both parties have proposed covering outpatient drugs under Medicare, an addition that alone would represent the biggest expansion ever of the $240 billion program. The Bush proposal would offer the elderly drug benefits through Medicare only if they joined health maintenance organizations. Older people in some states have the option of enrolling in HMOs, but they have not been given benefit-related incentives. The president’s plan also would give state governments more control over Head Start, a $6.5 billion program that is federally funded but locally adminis-

BAA MEETING from page 3 School of Medicine and Arts and Sciences. Thirteen and a half of the department’s full-time faculty are funded by Arts and Sciences, and the medical school finances the remaining three and a half positions. Most faculty teach and conduct research primarily in Aits and Sciences, but the department has historically taught first-year gross anatomy in the medical school curriculum as well. Professors were optimistic after Friday’s meeting about what many termed “movement” away from the initial cutbacks on the part of the administration. They remained pessimistic, however, about the future ofthe department.

“Before, I didn’t see any breath left by the Medical Center,” Chafe said. The proposed faculty reductions will in us at all,” said Steven Churchill, associate professor of BAA and director of be mandated, administrators said, by undergraduate studies. “Now, I see us increased expenditures, ranging from as morbidly sick but not necessarily administrative costs to renovated facilidead. We probably could still keep up a ties for the department. The cutbacks come as medical school administrators graduate program and an undergraduate program, but not at the level we plan to phase out the school’s financial have done it. This is, percentage wise, commitment to BAA and eventually to teach gross anatomy from within. still a pretty big blow.” Faculty expressed concern that the Chafe maintained that the reduction of faculty positions is not a result of a department’s interests were being lost shrinking BAA budget and that Arts and in financial quibbling between Arts and Sciences’ financial commitment to BAA Sciences and the School ofMedicine. “I understand the problem,” said will remain constant at approximately Carel van Schaik, BAA professor and di$1 million over the next 10 years. “[lntegrating BAA into Arts and Sci- rector of graduate studies. “But this is a ences] means our absorbing some of the University department. It started out as expenditures currently being handled an experiment but because the experi-

HISTORY GLASS from page 1 students [the history department] would’ve taken in this year, [they’ve] already taken in.”

John Thompson, chair of the history department, said the department has typically accepted 12 to 14 graduate students every year. Upon realizing they had enough money for only two graduate fellowships for next year, the history faculty voted not to take any students, reasoning that it would be a waste of manpower and a disservice to the students to admit a two-person class. At that point, the Graduate School stepped in and increased the acceptable number of history fellowships to four, a number with which the department agreed. A fifth student may be admitted “if there’s someone to pay their own way,” Witt said. This year’s crunch underscores a continual problem of funding for the history department and its stu-

dents, who traditionally take a longer time to complete their doctorates than do students in other departments. The national average for earning a doctorate in history is nine years. The average at Duke is seven—still making the history program one of the lengthiest at the University. “Either every historian in the country is a slacker, or it takes a little longer to become a historian,”

Thompson said. Others, including Witt, attributed the longer program requirements to having to learn foreign languages for some research and to the fact that the department formerly did not grant fellowships to all its students. Witt said the Graduate School does not take the lengthy requirements of history into account, doling out a fixed number of fellowships for each department and employing what he called a “one-size-fits-all” funding strategy. Thompson said he has protested this policy vigor-

ment isn’t working, the interests of the department shouldn’t be overlooked.” Much of the continuing discussion will probably center around how the money from Arts and Sciences will be distributed within BAA. “It’s really hard to know what exactly everyone means about continued commitment without seeing the money on a spread sheet,” said Richard Kay, chair of the department. “Fm pretty confident that we’re going to work out some kind of arrangement that will be satisfactory, and the only satisfactory position is one that will enable us to maintain our national reputation and at the same time continue to offer the kind of quality and size of the undergraduate major that we

ously to the administration, but to no avail. “How many times can you march the light brigade into the cannons?” he asked. “I don’t think anybody in the Allen Building is listening.” Instead, the history department is trying to reduce the time needed to obtain a doctorate. Last year, it reduced the number of course requirements, with the expectation that students would complete them earlier and move on to research. “I just noticed in the students of the last few years, there’s a lot more hustle and bustle,” said Witt, who admitted that, in the past, students would occasionally take over 10 years to earn a doctorate. The history department’s lack of funds is shared by other departments in the humanities and social sciences. Siegel said sociology and philosophy will also admit smaller classes this year. Thompson noted that the Graduate School itself is struggling financially. “Rich people just don’t want to give to graduate students, I guess.”

Duke downs Clemson 65 By ASSAAD NASR The Chronicle

65 It certainly wasn’t the prettiest game in basClemson 53 ketball history, but for the men’s basketball team it was a win Duke

nonetheless. Following a mid-week victory against arch rival North Carolina, No. 9 Duke (16-3, 6-3 in the ACC) won a defensive

struggle against the Clemson Tigers (12-7, 2-7) 65-55 Sunday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. “It was real difficult to score points tonight,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Both teams played real tough defense. Early in the game we had a opportunity to dictate tempo, and we couldn’t put the ball in the basket.” The game was characterized by a series of offensive spurts. The Blue Devils broke out of the gate in the game’s first seven minutes with a 16-5 run. After extending its lead to 21-9, Duke was mostly shut down by the Clemson defense for the next six minutes. The Tigers then pulled within four points at 25-21 with three and a half minutes remaining in the first halfbefore Duke ended the period with a 9-4 run, creating a halftime score of 34-25. Coming out in the second half with a greater energy level, the Tigers went on a 9-1 run to pull within one point at 3534 with 17:04 remaining. Following a delay in the action while Duke medical teams attended to an ailing Cameron Crazy, the Blue Devils responded immediately with a 12-0 spurt oftheir own to establish a 47-34 edge at the 10:50 mark. The Tigers would not get within 10 points for the rest of the way. The 12-0 run in the second half was ignited by a three-point shot by sophomore guard Daniel Ewing with 16:50 to go. Three minutes later, after a block by freshman big man Shelden Williams, Ewing threw an outlet pass

to Chris Duhon, who quickly dished the

ball off to a streaking Williams for a huge slam dunk. Williams came offthe bench to provide nine points, seven rebounds and one block in only 11 minutes of play. “Shelden gave us a huge boost... He gave us a physical presence in there, battling for rebounds, making free

throws,” Krzyzewski said. Another key to Duke’s second-half run was the play of swingman Dahntay Jones, who scored 13 of his team-high 15 points in the final twenty minutes. While Jones struggled from the floor going 3-for-12, he was nevertheless able to record his 17th double-figure scoring game of the season thanks to his free throw shooting. Jones came out driving hard to the basket in the second half and wound up at the line twelve times, making eight of those shots. “Hitting some free throws got us going,” said Jones. “It gave us the ability to pull away. I was just trying to do everything I could to help us out.” While the offenses struggled to maintain consistency, the defenses were dominant throughout. The Blue Devils, employing a full-court man-toman defense as well as half-court man-to-man, were not only able to force 26 Clemson turnovers, but they also held the Tigers to just 19 field goals—a season-low for a Duke opponent. On the other hand, while using their inside guys to double-team the Blue Devils’ perimeter players, Clemson held the Blue Devils to a seasonlow shooting percentage of 33.9.

“I thought it was an extremely physical game, very similar to the game we played in ClemsonTigers head coach Larry Shyatt said. “Our guys did a lot of good things and a lot of right things on defense, but unfortunately were forced into a lot of errors on offense.” A major component ofthe Blue Devils’ victory was the play of Casey Sanders. The senior center finished just shy of his first ever collegiate doubledouble after pulling down a career-high 14 boards and adding eight points. “I try to get as close to the ball as possible,” Sanders said of his rebounding. “If there’s any way I can get it, I’m going to try to get it. Tonight was just a night where I got close to it enough times to actually get 14.” Krzyzewski was pleased with his team’s effort and was optimistic about its future. “There’s a lot of newness on this basketball team, so for us to be in this position at this time, I think, is really good,” he said. “Our kids have done a real good job, and we can get better.”

5 in crucial ACC contest In one of the wildest games of the season, the men’s basketball team used tough defense to take out Clemson and move to a tie for second in the ACC standings.

Ti T-1

1 X:

Was that really Duke playing Clemson Sunday night? The Blue Devils defeated the Tigers, 65-55, but did so in very un-Duke-like fashion, using tenacious defense and a career-best night from Casey Sanders to win a sloppy, physical and downright bizarre game. The game began with a clock malfunction, halting play only a few seconds after Duke won the opening tip and started to run its offense. A few minutes into the second half, play was stopped again for ten minutes as Duke medical staff attended to a female Duke student in the crowd. The disrupjPW|jk tions seemed to set the tone for a game in which neither team’s offense was able to get into any sort of rhythm. i “It was kind of a wacky day,” junior point guard Chris Duhon Ted Mann said. “I’ve never shot lay-up drills Game commentary in the middle of the second half before. [Regardless], we came up with the win, that’s the big thing.” Even when basketball was being played, it was a highly uncharacteristic game for the Blue Devils. The nation’s second highest scoring team shot a season-low 33.9 percent from the floor in scoring more than 20 points below its average. Duke had only one player, forward Dahntay Jones, score in double figures, and even he hit only 3-of-12 shots in mustering 15 points. “[lt was] kind of ugly, but sometimes you just have to get a win,” said Sanders, who battled his way to a career-best 14 rebounds. “You really just have to muck it out, and play hard.” Surprisingly, Sanders’ inside presence was a huge reason the Blue Devils were able to win on a night when Duke’s guards—usually the team’s forte, not the big men—struggled. Duhon managed only four points while again having problems with his shot, J.J. Redick had trouble finding the mark from three-point range, Ewing scored only five points, and Jones didn’t get it going until the second half. Nonetheless, Sanders’ dominance on the boards continually gave the Blue Devils second-chance opportunities after their numerous missed shots. “I felt like tonight was definitely my best performance [ever], as far as rebounding,” Sanders said. “I’ve been really hungry for double-digit rebounding [games] since I first became a player. [Games like this] have been a long time coming for me. It’s been an amazing journey.” Sanders was also an integral part of the team’s stingy defense, which held Clemson to just 19 field goals, a season-low for a Blue Devil opponent. Though he wasn’t much of a factor on the offensive end, Duhon’s defense on Clemson guard Edward Scott was critical, as he held the Tigers’ leading scorer to only six points and two assists. “Scott was really good,” Krzyzewski said. “You’ve got two good guards going after one another. Neither [Duhon nor Scott] were really scorers, because they’re putting so much pressure [on each other]. I thought [Duhon] did a really good job on him.” Krzyzewski was clearly more pleased with his team’s defensive tenacity and strong rebounding than he was concerned with the poor offensive showing. “It’s not easy out there, especially when things aren’t going great offensively for you, to stay focused on defense and rebounding,” Krzyzewski said. “Our kids played their butts off....This was a man’s game out there tonight.” If the Blue Devils can maintain the defense and rebounding they displayed against Clemson, when the shots start falling as normal, the rest of the ACC will be left praying for disruptions to stop Duke.

Women’s tennis wins ITA National Indoors After 2 aborted trips to finals, Blue Devils win nation’s top indoor tournament over Gators By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

Duke

4 In dramatic fashion, the women’s tennis team 3 won its first ever ITA

Florida National Indoor Championship Sunday with a 4-3 finals victory over the No. 2 Florida. The fourth-ranked Blue Devils move to 8-0 on the season with three victories over top-10 teams over the weekend. The victory marks the first national

team title for the Blue Devils’ program. The team will be ranked No. 1 in the nation come Wednesday “It’s unreal,” national No. 2 Kelly McCain said. “It is very exciting to come here and show everybody we can play and be the best.” With the score tied 3-3 Duke’s

Amanda Johnson and Florida’s Alexis Gordon were the only two players left on the court at the University of Wis-

consin’s N.C. Nielsen Tennis Stadium. McCain had just secured her straight set victory and Johnson had a 4-2 advantage in the decisive set. “I was really nervous,” Johnson said. “I really wanted it for my team.” Johnson’s nerves mounted during the seventh game ofthe set as the two traded advantages with Johnson ultimately winning the exhausting game. Two games later, the championship was secure as Johnson held off a strong challenge by Gordon and won 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. “She is who we want in that situation,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “She is going to make people play and not be crazy with her decision making. She is going to step up and hit the ball.” After the Duke swept the three double matches to earn the doubles point,, singles play in yesterday’s finals got off to a rocky start for the Blue Devils. Julia Deßoo, Katie Blazak and Julia Smith all fell in straight sets to higher ranked Florida players. Despite being down, Ashworth never lost confidence in his players. The three remaining singles players had yet to drop

Lindsay Dawaf in a tough straight set victory. McCain, with her powerful ground strokes, was able to dictate play as she did all weekend on the fast courts. “She competed really well all weekend,” Ashworth said. “When she is competing well and is mentally into the match she is tough to beat.” To reach the finals, the Blue Devils knocked off Kentucky 6-1. The second round saw a match up with tobacco road rival No. 5 North Carolina. While Duke was victorious, again by a score of 6-1, the match was much closer than the score indicated. The Blue Devils’ semifinal match with California resulted in a 4-1 victory after two matches were suspended because their result was inconsequential to the

team’s victory. “The Cal match was the first time all year that we competed really well and played really well,” Ashworth said. The whole team was elated with the doubles play, an Achilles Heel for the Blue Devils in years past. The team won the doubles point in all four tournament matches, with Granson and Smith victoa match all weekend. rious in each match.

Five women clear ECAC times at Chapel Hill meet With indoor season near close, Blue Devils look to outdoor events, NCAA championships By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

The collegiate track and field indoor season bleeds into the outdoor period, and the two combine to form a lengthy season that lasts in some cases from January until June. The men’s and women’s teams have a long way to go toward the NCAA outdoor

championships in Sacramento, but the team’s indoor results at this past weekend’s Carolina Heels Challenge are several fast steps in the right direction.

The meet, which saw five of Duke’s women clear their ECAC qualifying times for the first time this season, took place hi Chapel Hill Saturday. The high point of the meet came in yet an-

other manifestation of the Duke-North Carolina rivalry: Blue Devil senior Jared Moore and Tar Heel Brian McGovern ran head-to-head in the men’s 3,000-meters. The race was a nail-biter throughout, but Moore took the win on the strength of a speedy 63 second final lap. Moore’s 8:25.49 time edged McGovern’s 8:26.38, qualified him for the IC4As in March and placed him fifth all-time for Duke.

Other women’s teams ECAC championships qualifiers include senior Janay McKie, who had previously qualified in the 200 meters. McKie’s 7.66 second finish was a third-place effort and a qualifier for ECACs. “Last year, I was on top of my 605,”

McKie said. “But this year, it’s been the 200, so I’m focusing on that. Of course, if anything happens in the 60, that’s cool.”

McKie found both ofher races in order Saturday, taking second in the 200-meters in addition to her 60-meter showing. Other first-time qualifiers included Phebe Ko in the 5-kilometer run, Meaghan Leon in the mile and Kristie Howard in the pole vault. Also notable on the women’s side was the performance of Sarah Spalding, who netted 12th place in the 800 meters in what women’s head coach Jan Ogilvie called a “major personal breakthrough” for the senior.

“We have to start fine-tuning now,”

Ogilvie said. “We’re trying to find races that will allow us to run fast.”

Freshmen and distance stars Clara Horowitz and Laura Stanley will journey to Houston next weekend for the World Junior Cross-Country Championships. The men’s competition saw the continued superiority ofpole vaulter Brent Warner, who won the event with a vault of 16 feet, 4.75 inches, just several centimeters away from his best mark of the season. Excepting the two runners in Hous-

ton, the rest of the teams travel to New York, N.Y. next weekend for the Armory College Invitational. Freshman Steve Craig and sophomore Jared Moore took first and second in the 800 meters, with times of 1:55.77

and 1:57.23.

Duke tops Bearcats twice to start season Fencing Blue Devils win Ist game, lose 2nd, crush Cincinnati in 3rd, 7-1

By PAULA LEHMAN The Chronicle

Duke 4 As February chills over campus, the baseball Cincinnati 3 team’s season begins to heat up at historic Jack Coombs Field. Duke’s spring competitors had an early start this weekend as the Blue Devils (2-1) took on Cincinnati (1-2). Duke took two of three, winning the first game 4-3, losing the second, 8-0, and then taking the third, 7-1. Saturday’s doubleheader was long and strenuous as both teams fought through 20 innings of baseball ending in a split going into Sunday’s final contest. Duke scored early on with RBIs by senior Troy Caradonna and juniorBryan Smith who came around in the sixth to bring the Blue Devils up 3-0. But Cincinnati came back in the seventh with a three-run inning that would hold the game at a tie until Smith scored again in the 11th, leading off with a walk and capitalizing on Bearcat fielding errors. Errors plagued Duke in the second game as Cincinnati took advantage of eight walks, two hit batters and three errors. The Bearcats had pounded in eight runs by the fifth inning, while the Blue Devils’ offense remained silenced by Cincinnati pitcher Nate Bouldin, who gave up only five hits to match his five strike outs. “We walked too many guys,” relief pitcher Zach Schrieber said. “We didn’t have strong enough hitting to make up

for it.” But Schrieber’s pitching along with an awakened offense gave the final battle between the Blue Devils and the Bearcats to Duke. Cincinnati’s Justin Niefer was pushed around the bases in the third inning from a combined efforts

Down 5-4 after the first knocked Mitchell out of the tournament.

Those sitting with their tents, awaiting admission to the Feb. 19 men’s basketball game against Maryland were able to hear another compelling contest taking place inside Card Gym. Those outside could hear the crowd within, cheering the men’s fencing as they played host to a number of teams from across the country Friday afternoon. The men’s and women’s fencing teams took on Notre Dame, Stanford, Air Force, North Carolina and Johns Hopkins this weekend, with the men competing Friday and the women Saturday. Both teams received a mixed bag of results, with the women finishing third in the tournament behind Air Force and national powerhouse Notre Dame. The men logged a fourth-place finish, also losing out to the Fighting Irish and Falcons, as well as Stanford. “This is our only home meet, so we were hoping to go out and play well against some more difficult teams who have some international fencers,” team captain and epee team member Sean Huang said. The strengths of both squads lay, as they have all season, in the epee portion of the competition. The men’s epee group, consisting of Huang, Nic Testerman and Nathan Bragg won four bouts and lost only one on the strength of Testerman’s technique and the squad’s 31 individual victories. The Blue Devil’s single team loss in the men’s epee came at the hands of the tournament’s overall winners, Notre Dame. “I’m proud of the epee squad,” Huang said. “Nic was great; we’ve been expecting—and getting—great things from him.” The other fencers on the men’s team did not fare as well, with the saber team finishing fourth and the foil squad ending up a disappointing fifth after winning only 11 individual bouts. “I’m somewhat disappointed in the foil squad,” Huang said. “They’re a talented group, but they couldn’t seem to pull it together” The women’s end of the competition had better results. As epee had been the bright spot in the men’s contest, it was also the highlight for the women. The women’s epee group, Kimberly Schafer, Jaimie West and Dorothy Hubbard, followed the men’s blueprint. They went 4-1, with the lone loss also coming to Notre Dame, as they won 27 of their 45 individual bouts. The other Duke teams performed strongly, with the third-place foil team and the fourth-place saber team earning 27 and 16 individual wins, respectively. “The saber squad was good all day, but especially against Hopkins,” women’s team captain Ashley Cockburn said. “I’m pleased with how we were able to come together and win as many bouts as we could.” The next Duke fencing meet will reverse the rivalries of this past weekend, with the Tar Heels playing host as the Blue Devils visit Chapel Hill. Some ofthe team’s individuals will head to Colorado

Springs, the home turf of Air Force, for the Junior Olympics.

POWELL from page 2 The Security Council, he added, would then have to “start considering a resolution that says Iraq is in material breach and it is time for serious consequences to follow.” Powell dismissed reports that France and Germany, and perhaps with Russia, would recommend deploying UN. peacekeepers in Iraq along with inspectors, saying that such action would be pointless. The reports, first raised in the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel, were played down by French and German officials as well, although they said discussions were under way to seek some alternative to quick military action. Bush also increased pressure on the United Nations Sunday to act on Iraq. Speaking to Republican members of Congress at a retreat in West Virginia, Bush said the American goal in the short term would be to work with “friends and allies and the United Nations to bring that body along.” Bush did not mention Friday as a turning point. Rice said he had set no deadline for action by the Security Council. Although the main pressure exerted Sunday was on the United Nations, Powell and others in the administration were also seeking to put pressure on France and Germany over a growing dispute within NATO on Iraq. The dispute centers on a refusal by France, Germany and Belgium to agree to Turkey’s request for military equipment to prepare for a possible war. Echoing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s comments in Germany over the weekend, Powell said on Fox News Sunday that it was “inexcusable” for France, Germany and Belgium to block the request, coming as it did from a fellow NATO member. The NATO charter requires the alliance to come to the defense of any member attacked, which Turkey fears it would be in the event of a war. The NATO alliance will decide the issue Monday, but

there was no sign Sunday that France, Germany or Belgium was wavering. The countries say without a Security Council resolution authorizing war, it is premature to supply Turkey with the equipment requested, including Patriot missiles and Awacs surveillance aircraft.

STATE PLAN from page 1 Morris maintained throughout the dispute that DUHS was willing to renegotiate rates in April as part of routine contract discussions, but SEHP representatives repeatedly categorized this as an unacceptable delay. Although details of the contract are confidential, Paul Sebo, director of operations for the state plan, indicated the agreement was identical to those reached with other state hospitals. “Duke is now in the same boat as everyone else,” he said. Reports that the new rates reached with DUHS would save the state plan approximately $400,000 are accurate,

Sebo said. In total, the state plan—which covers state employees, teachers and their dependents—expects to shave about $2 million from its $1.2 billion budget through these rate reductions for the three services. SEHP anticipates much bigger nego-

tiations for all outpatient services—typically the most lucrative hospital services—later this year, most likely in April. Altogether, SEHP wants to pare about $124 million from its budget from reduced compensation to hospitals and physicians, as part of its goal of raising $555 million total to remain solvent until June 30, 2005. During the stalled negotiations with DUHS, Sebo expressed pessimism at the prospect of much larger contract negotiations with the Health System, which takes in at least $5O million in business from the state plan. After the success Thursday, however, Sebo’s outlook brightened. “The big contract up in April is a much bigger piece [than the three services], and the hope is that if everyone was able to work on this together, they’ll be able to work on that,” he said. “We’re

cautiously optimistic.” Sebo said the ultimate necessity is

making sure there are no disruptions in services, a challenge particularly rele-

vant to DUHS, which offers several

NASA from page 2 No one has concluded that damage to the leading edge was responsible for the Columbia’s disintegration, or even that the foam insulation that struck the wing, and probably hit the leading edge, had hurt the orbiter. But much attention since the accident has focused on the possibility of some kind of devastating damage to the leading edge of the left wing or the heatresistant tiles. An analysis by Boeing concluded that the underside of the leading edge had probably been hit, along with a large swath of the panels. The area of the wing identified as the likely site of the debris strike in the company’s Jan. 21 presentation

“The big contract up in April is a much bigger piece.... We’re cautiously optimistic.” Paul Sebo, SEHP director of operations unique specialty services.

“That doesn’t mean that, behind the scenes, there won’t be some tough negotiating,” Sebo said. “But if that’s going to be invisible to the public, then that’s okay.” Morris was unavailable for comment, but said in a press release that he recognized the struggles facing employees and health care providers in times of economic distress and would continue to work collaboratively to ensure a mutually beneficial relationship with the state plan. Both sides previously expressed surprise in the difficulty of negotiations. SEHP’s frustration led to a Dec. 31 letter notifying DUHS it would terminate their long-standing contract in April.

to NASA nearly matches an area of the wing that appears to be jagged in an unclear silhouette photograph taken of the orbiter through an Air Force telescope less than a minute before it disintegrated. Sensors in the wing were knocked out, one by one, fueling suspicions that as heat spread through the structure, it burned through wiring. Over the weekend, NASA officials declined to say if a section of leading-edge material found west of Fort Worth, Texas, late last week came from the left wing. That mystery should not be difficult for NASA to decipher: The leading-edge material was still attached to tiles that are identified with serial numbers that indicate their precise location on the orbiter. If the wreckage turns out to be part ofthe left wing, it would indicate that the wing was among the first

Morris responded Jan. 8 with a letter expressing “disappointment” at the state’s decision. SEHP notified employees of the decision Jan. 14, and Morris sent a memo Jan. 15 to DUHS executive leaders explaining the situation and responding to “factual errors and misleading statements” included in SEHP’s Jan. 14 letter. “It is regrettable that SEHP has taken an action that is likely to cause concern and confusion for their members,” Morris wrote in the Jan. 15 memo. As late as Feb. 4, Sebo had said, “Officially, there’s no change. Nothing has been signed. No meetings have been arranged.... We’re still in a pre-negotiating stage.” The Thursday meeting, arranged by Nowak and Howell, came as a sudden and pleasant surprise to Sebo, who said earlier that Duke appeared unwilling to talk. “They came over here. They actually visited us,” Sebo said. “It was a rather pleasant meeting.... It sets the stage for better negotiations in the spring.”

pieces of the orbiter to break off and fall to earth. “It is one of many approaches we’re looking at,” Sean O’Keefe, the administrator of NASA, said in an interview on CNN Sunday. Damage from the foam insulation, he added, is “still a very current theory,” though he cautioned that “nothing is off the table.” The engineering teams investigating the shuttle disaster took the day off, their first since the disaster, and will resume work Monday, a NASA spokesperson said. Among the evidence they will be looking at is an Air Force radar image of the shuttle gathered at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida on Jan. 17, one day into Columbia’s flight. The radar data appears to show a small object moving away from the shuttle at about 16 feet per second, a NASA spokesperson said Sunday.

War through the looking glass

War against Iraq justified

Last

week, Secretary of State Colin Powell went before the U.N. Security Council to present evidence that Saddam Hussein was in material breach of numerous U.N.resolutions and to make the case for war against Iraq. Powell’s case was convincing, and the US. with or without the U.N.—should be ready to go to war soon, knowing that it is both necessary and just. In addition to Powell’s evidence—which included intercepted conversations between Iraqi officers about hiding evidence of weapons programs proving Iraq’s obstructionism beyond a shadow of a doubt—chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix also acknowledges that Iraq is clearly not cooperating with inspectors, as required by U.N. resolutions. After a decade of stonewalling and deception by Saddam and Iraq, it is time for the international community to step up and address this clear and present threat to both the world and to the Iraqi people. This is an opportunity for the U.N. to assert its relevance in the postCold War era. Rather than sitting idly by on the sidelines, waiting for problems to develop before acting, the U.N. should show its resolve and step forward to enforce its own resolutions. Rather than letting Saddam flaunt the will ofthe world and develop weapons of mass destruction, the U.N. should take military action. Unfortunately, some members of the Security Council, such as France, are being obstructionists to this enforcement. France in particular, should be censured for its opposition to action in Iraq. As it has done for much ofits history, France is once again refusing to stand up to a clear threat to democracy. Moreover, France’s motive for so doing shows that it is complicit in Iraq’s tyranny. France has sold Saddam a nuclear reactor and has a vested interest in Iraq’s oil business. France supports Saddam’s regime because ofprofit, a disgusting motive when weighed against the imminent threat posed by Iraq. Germany, too, has been obstructionist, although its motives are more noble. Since World War 11, Germany has been reluctant to use military force. However, pacifism in the face of tyranny is synonymous with cowardliness. Germany Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder should demonstrate a modicum of courage and support war against Iraq. Although nobody in the United States relishes the thought of war, sometimes it is necessary. The clearest indication of this is that Powell, the Bush administration’s most dovish member, is making the case for war to the international community. If Powell believes war is needed after having evaluated all the evidence, then the international community should heed him. Anyone with an open mind about the war should be convinced by Powell’s presentation last week. However, there is still a chance of averting this war. Either Saddam can come clean or other Arab leaders can place pressure on Saddam to exile himself. But beyond Saddam having a sudden, radical change of heart, war seems inevitable. Although the United States should not welcome this war, it should be confident that war is the right course of action. The challenging part of this mission is the rebuilding of Iraq after the war. Iraq clearly needs to become a different place, hopefully an example for what the rest of the Middle East can achieve. To accomplish this transformation, Bush needs a clear economic and political plan, which he should formulate and articulate before the war begins. —

Any ardent observer of world affairs today must feel as though they’ve taken a journey through the looking glass. Somewhat more than ever before, nothing is

Abdullah Al-Arian Guest Commentary what it seems to be, and everything appears to be what it is not. The current matter taking center stage is the prospect of war with Iraq. The very

designation itself is a deliberate misnomer. For when the strongest military to have graced the earth’s surface takes on a sickly and utterly debilitated state, their interaction is not, as we are led to believe, the locking of horns between two equally equipped rams. Rather, the many ships and jets currently encircling Iraq are more like ravenous buzzards awaiting the final breath of some parched animal beneath the scorching desert sun. And that is no war. This is further evinced by the recent revelation of Pentagon documents detailing the exact nature of such a “war.” According to plans leaked to The New York Times, the American campaign will begin with a 60 day continuous carpet-bombing campaign, with over a thousand flights a day over every major city and village in Iraq. One thousand flights a day for 60 days. One cannot begin to imagine the result of such a devastating offensive. We have seen the effects of one bomb in Bali or one attack in New York, yet the countless civilian lives that will be shredded by flying shards of burning metal, vaporized by fiery explosions or smothered by collapsing buildings are summed up by a convenient little government phrase. Collateral damage. Contemplate those words for just one moment. Remember them in a few weeks’ time. What was it that the Mad Hatter himself, President George W. Bush, said about the humanitarian goals of this “war”? It’s a bit difficult to hear over the sonic booms. And nonetheless, the resounding declaration of another critical phrase has left most Americans rebuilding their fallout shelters. Weapons of mass destruction. As though

having been carefully instructed, each member of the Bush administration does not fail to mention this phrase at least a dozen times per interview. These words for mass consumption have been ingrained in the public psyche to embody an all-together surreal armageddon scenario that can only be prevented by “war” and the acceptability of that other magical term, collateral damage. Never mind that Saddam Hussein has been effectively contained since his humiliating defeat at the hands of the world 12 years ago. Let it also go unmentioned that

even his immediate neighbors—who actually share a border and a hemisphere with the beleaguered nation—dismiss the possibility of an existing Iraqi threat. And dare we stress that disarmament would not even be an issue if Iraq’s major export was another o-word, say olives or oranges. Curiouser and curiouser. As most Americans have conceded, Bush will have this “war” regardless of public or world opinion, international law or the facts on the ground. Using a clever ruse, he has roped Iraq into a catch-22. The weapons inspectors’ regime was created to justify the American “war” one way or another. Were they to find illegal weapons, Iraq would be attacked for having them. Were they to not find illegal weapons, Iraq would be attacked for hiding them. Saddamned if you do, Saddamned if you don’t. Speaking of the Arab devil, another popular notion has been to suggest that opposition to this “war” amounts to support of his regime. It seems that the neo-conservative collective memory has taken a Reaganesque turn for the worse. In the 1980s, the same people who now oppose this “war” were then

protesting human rights abuses in front of the Iraqi embassy; meanwhile, Donald Rumsfeld was in Baghdad showcasing our latest and greatest in weapons technology to none other than the Iraqi demon himself. Around the same time, in 1983, current Israeli Crime Minister Ariel Sharon gave a lecture in which he unveiled his “New Map of the Middle East.” The map showed Iraq divided into three states and Saudi Arabia divided into two states. Palestinians, a term unknown to the limited Sharon vocabulary, were to be mass-transferred across the River Jordan, leaving Israel in full control to annex the illegally occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem. Two decades later, it appears as though this plot has come full circle. We are entering the initial phase, with Israel exploiting the fog of “war” on Iraq to commit further atrocities in the occupied territories. Much like the citizens of this country, the international community can only stand and watch the situation deteriorate. The United Nations’ own integrity is being called into question, as the hell-bent American administration will go to any and all lengths to coerce weaker and dependent nations to support its efforts, as if a crudely attained UN. seal of approval will add any legitimacy to this “war.” Ever deeper does our journey through the looking glass go. Unlike Alice though, it is unlikely we will ever wake from this nightmare.

On prudence (and Myrtle, DSG and Chafe) I am entitled by my editor to one rant each year. Here it is: Important things first: I was recently made aware, by a friend familiar with Myrtle Beach, that the two historic motel estabhshments—The Rockin K and The Royal Palms—have been leveled. I was saddened by this news, and I’m sure many others are too. As a conservative, I will not only miss all the memories, good and bad, accumulated over the last three years, but also the tradi1 tion that these motels jp' embodied. Tradition is * ever under attack these days, both on campus and off. Other than the senior English picnic, Myrtle promises to The Critical be the only event I will Theory attend four years in a row. However, I can’t imagine what it will be like now, without those sheltered courtyards protected by old man K and his billy club. In an effort both to scoop Faran on what may be the biggest social news ofthe year and to help perpetuate a living tradition, I ask the following questions of my fellow Duke students, particularly seniors: Where will people to go to hang out in a crowd when their cool friends ditch them? Where will the basketball players be seen in public? Where will purple passion happen? Will purple passion happen? What about those sorority girls who always get covered in a lot of nasty food? Providing a timely and coordinated answer to these questions may determine the future of Myrtle as we know it. Has anyone noticed what DSG has done this year? Of course not, because DSG has done nothing. Overall, I am fairly pleased by this, because in every year past, •

when DSG did act, it did stupid things. One need only to recall the South Carolina flag travesty, the homosexual unions sham and the golf cart escort service to know what I mean. However, this year things might have been different, because the DSG president we elected, Joshua JeanBaptiste, actually had some great ideas. So what happened? In one of the most neg-

Chafe, who, the DSG Executive Committee crippled if he doesn’t make these decisions, has the Jean-Baptiste’s agenda at every turn.

The Duke Union, which will also have a fee increase on the ballot, has a record that stands in stark contrast to DSG, which is to say a good one. I never thought I’d say this, but “vote union.” Speaking of impediments to good ideas, bad spending procedures and partisan leaders, let’s talk about Dean of the Faculty ofArts and Sciences William Chafe. I don’t know enough about Biological Anthropology and Anatomy to say whether

sity president should use the bully pulpit. The focus of her thoughtful reflection could be summarized in one word; prudence. One must wonder, however, if this piece was itself intended as rejoinder to the Whitehorn scandal or whether prudence dictates Nan make a more formal statement. Whitehorn confessed to eight terrorist bombings, is unrepentant and will be sponsored by a lot of Chafe’s friends in March. Given that some of have condoned these sponsors Whitehorn’s past, might it not be prudent for Nan to point out that she doesn’t? Finally, those looking for Valentine’s Day festivities this year will note that, unlike years past, no one is selling tickets for that awful play, The Vagina Monologues. This is one tradition I’m glad to see end. I am told there will be a performance later in the spring, and, due to previous criticisms, there will be a new role included for men in the production. I find this development interesting and well intentioned, but wonder what they are going to do to the rest of the play to make it tolerable. •

financial crippling Duke’s nationally renowned department is a bad idea. However, what I have observed from my experience as a student in political science and economics, is that these two large, mainstream departments can’t seem to get adequate funding either. It’s curious that after a $2 billion capital campaign Duke can’t afford enough economists to enable the economics department keep pace with its

Monday, Monday **

Jr!

Just so THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE could help quell this trend, I have enclosed four different Chronicle articles from the next decade describing the Worst Ever Future Allen Building Takeovers. April 13, 2003: Allen Building taken over by students protesting K-ville Line Monitor selection—Protesting the selection of yet another person who has never tented as Krzyzewskiville Line Monitor, a group of students seized the Allen Building yesterday, grinding school operations to a halt until police showed up and pepper-sprayed everyone. Holding signs reading “He’s a non-tenter,” “He’s one of them,” and “He’s another Jeremy Morgan,” the protesters marched to the Allen Building and “took it over.’ When administrators pleaded that the school could not operate with them occupying the building, the group issued a statement saying, “We don’t care. We only came to Duke because of the basketball team November 6, 2003: Undergraduates unhappy with Washington Duke Inn tipping take over Allen Building, ask ”

to speak with manager—A few angry undergraduate students crippled the University yesterday by taking over Duke’s administrative building and demanding to speak to the manager of the Washington Duke Inn about their “tipping practices.” “We’d like to speak to the manager,” they said in a statement. They didn’t really know what to do after that, though, so, with no Risk board, the protesters basically just sat around, though a few reportedly retreated to the bathrooms to masturbate when they got bored. Apparently, pelting The Chronicle with several letters per week over a six-month span had not gotten them the improved service they demanded, resulting in more serious action. Their move comes at a pivotal time when, in light of the success of the Inn’s plan, the Board of Trustees is considering adding an automatic 19 percent gratuity to Duke’s $34,000 tuition, despite the objections of Andrew Nurkin. February 5, 2005: Pratt students take over Allen Building to object to lack of girls in classes—Several undergraduates in the Pratt School of Engineering occupied the Allen Building on Tuesday to protest the female ratio in their classes. The leader of the effort, Newton Eliot, spoke these words in a speech to explain their actions: “I’m not in a fraternity, and I’m a nice guy, the combination of which makes me completely unappealing to Duke women. So, I figure, since I can’t date them, I could at least look at them while I’m in class.... Our professors are a bunch ofweirdos who tuck their shirts into their underwear. Some of our classrooms have no windows. There’s got to be somewhere else to fix our gaze.... I’m not talking here about demanding a situation where I’d actually get The Pack’ out of my dorm vending machines instead of gummy bears. I just want to look at them.... I thought when they changed the name of the school to the guy’s name who owned Viagra, it would help to illustrate how virile we really are. I urge the administration and President Skip Herrod, to take action.”

September 28,2008: Students in Craven Quad complain about living too far away, take over Allen Building—Duke has continued to build dorms for the last 10 consecutive years to appease students who felt they had to walk too much, but apparently its job is not done. Residents of this year’s most out-of-the-way location, Craven Quad, stormed the Allen Building yesterday to protest their plight. As it stands now, residents of the quad are well over a hundred yards from the bus stop and even further from the Bryan University Center. Their takeover will, in all probability speed up Duke’s long-term plan, which is to have all residential, academic and administrative buildings placed on top of the Bryan Center. Trent was the first dorm to go, in 2003, as it was doomed by complaints from people who, though they had never actually lived there or had even ever been to the place, deemed a potentially long 10-minute walk so long that administrators had to close the dorm. Edens Quadrangle was next, as residents suggested that maybe the administration didn’t realize that they had to walk uphill to get places. Edens was therefore demolished. The loss was offset by building several stories on top ofthe existing Main West dorms last summer. “It sort of disrupts the Gothic feel,” Duke’s head architect admitted, “but we felt that students had dealt with so much construction since coming here, it wouldn’t be fair for them to stop constructing, just because there was nothing else to construct.” It seems right now that their construction is not yet complete.

THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE would like to lament the cutting of a Hiisker Dii reference last week. He I she would also like to support those of you who went to the Jimmy Buffett show in Raleigh last week by calling it unfair to say that Buffett just whitens up black music. He also whitens up white music.
