Hospital’s ‘tragic error’ led to wrong transplant Girl not expected to live more than few days By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

Duke University Hospital admitted a “tragic error” Monday in transplanting the heart and lungs of the wrong blood type into a 17-year-old girl now in critical condition.

Jesica Santillan, who underwent the surgery Feb. 7, is not expected to live more than a few days, said Mack Mahoney, a family friend who has medical power of attorney for the girl because her parents do not speak English. As of early Tuesday afternoon, family friends were reporting the girl was still in declining health and getting more swollen, while doctors have told them her kidneys have stopped operating. “In our efforts to identify organs for this desperately ill patient, regrettably, a mistake occurred,” Chief Executive Officer of Duke Hospital Dr. William Fulkerson said in a statement. “This was a tragic error, and we accept responsibility for our part.” Hospital officials refused to elaborate on exactly how the type-A organs were mistakenly transplanted into the girl, who has type-O-positive blood, but Mahoney, a philanthropist who helped raise the money for the operation, claimed the family was told it was a “clerical error”

that Jesica was listed as a potential recipient for the organs. Dr. James Jaggers, associate professor of surgery, admitted to the family following the surgery that, in a rush, he did not check the organs’ blood type when they reached the Hospital, Mahoney told The of Herald-Sun Durham. Jesica’s original heart was too large for her chest and impressed on her lungs, cutting off oxygen flow to the blood. Her parents moved to Jesica Santillan the United States from Mexico to find the needed organs, for which Jesica has waited three* years. The Santillan family held a press conference Tuesday afternoon in the Brookwood Inn near the Medical Center for media hailing from across the United States and Mexico, describing their initial elation at finally finding what they were told were matching organs and their ultimate disappointment.

In a display of support for another top university, Duke and several other top-20 universities signed onto a friend-of-the-court brief Tuesday in favor of considering race in admissions “We felt that it was important for Duke, along with other colleges and universities, to go on record explaining why we feel diversity is important in our admissions decisions—and why that diversity should include race, among many other factors,” President Nan Keohane wrote in an e-mail. The brief supports the right of universities to use race as one factor in an admissions system administrators say is complex and individualized, and was filed in response to two cases taken up by the Supreme Court on the University of Michigan’s racebased admissions system. It was filed by Harvard University, together with Yale University, Princeton University, Dartmouth College, Brown University, the

Undergraduate applications for the Class of 2007 broke almost every record on the books this year as 16,656 high school seniors applied for admittance—eclipsing last year’s record by more than 750. Overall, the applicants set benchmarks in almost every category, including international applications, SAT scores, financial aid requests, individual minority applications and a host of others. The high total comes in a year during which early decision numbers declined about 10 percent. “The University has been very supportive of us,” Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said of the numbers. “They have given us the resources to do more recruitment both on campus and off campus, and I think we are seeing some of the dividends of that.” Guttentag added that the uptick in applicants can be partially attributed to continued progress in the recruitment of international students, who as of last

Bush emphasizes need for security President affirms his resolve to disarm Iraq in response to anti-war protesters By BARRY SCHWEID The Associated Press

Declaring that WASHINGTON America’s security should not be dictated by protesters, President George W. Bush said Tuesday he would not be swayed from compelling Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to disarm. “We will deal with him,” Bush said as U.S. and British diplomats weighed another bid for U.N. backing. “War is my last choice,” Bush said at the White House as echoes of antiwar protests circled the globe. “But the risk of doing nothing is even a worse option as far as I am concerned.” Standing firmly against skeptical allies as well as the anti-war demonstrators, Bush said, “I owe it to the

American people to secure this country. I will do so.” Administration officials in Washington and at the United Nations in New York were discussing the possible gains as well as the risk of a diplomatic defeat if the United States proposed a new resolution to the Security Council to endorse force as an option to disarm Iraq. One US. official said Tuesday that there was no decision on a text or even on whether to go ahead, though White House spokesperson Ari Fleischer said, “I think it will be a simple and rather straightforward

resolution.” Bush said a second resolution “would be useful,” although “we don’t

need a second resolution. It’s clear this guy could even care less about the first resolution. He’s in total defiance.” In Rome, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said Iraq had to “move very fast” to heed the call of the international community and cooperate with U.N. inspectors or face the possibility of war. But he said that it was up to the Security Council to decide if the inspections had gone on long enough. France, with support from Russia and China, does not accept the US. view that the Security Council effectively endorsed force as an option to disarm Iraq in an earlier resolution See BUSH on page 8

Arson attack kills 120 in South Korea By DON KIRK

New York Times News Service

More than 120 people were TAEGU, South Korea killed Tuesday in an arson attack on a crowded subway train here, and rescue workers feared many more may have died as the fire swept through a second train. Grieving relatives crowded a memorial center near the site ofthe attack and stared vainly at the yawning entrance to the subway station where the trains caught fire in this commercial center about 200 miles southeast of Seoul. Witnesses told the police that a 56-year-old man with a record of mental illness had set the fire by lighting a flammable liquid in a plastic milk carton with a cigarette lighter. Firefighters equipped with gas masks and oxygen tanks made their way through the smoldering hulks of two

trains. Another 135 people were reported injured, and rescue officials said the death toll was likely to climb. The firefighters said they had discovered about 100 bodies, many of them charred beyond recognition, in the bumt-out shell of a subway car hours after police had confirmed that 49 people were killed. In addition, about 100 people, including a dozen maintenance workers, were re-

ported missing. Witnesses described the terrifying moments of the attack on the subway train Tuesday morning, saying that the suspect, wearing a blue track suit, had been “flickering a lighter” while holding what looked like a plastic milk canister filled with an unidentified liquid. A witness told YTN, a Korean television network, that See ARSON on page 7

Moneta presents ‘village’ to GPSC By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, assured graduate and pro-

fessional students Tuesday that their community will be included in the planned “student village” and that their voices will be heard in other projects. Speaking at the Graduate and Professional Student Council’s second meeting of the semester, Moneta also gave an overview of his office’s goals as they relate to graduate and professional students. He tried to ease fears that they were being overshadowed by un-

dergraduate concerns. “Some of my colleagues seemed to think we operated only on the undergraduate calendar,” Moneta said. “I understand that school doesn’t end in May for many graduate and professional students, that they don’t have the same holidays and that they go to work on the weekends.” Since first arriving at the University a year and a half ago, Moneta has organized a task force—headed by Dean of Students and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek and Associate Dean for Graduate School Student Affairs Jacqueline Looney—to address issues specific to graduate and professional students, such as child care and student space. “When I first came here... I thought this was a campus that was peculiar,” Moneta said. “I looked around and had trouble finding where the social space was. West Union does not represent what a first-class student facility should look like, the Bryan Center is the best of an airport facility and the bridge—God knows what the architect was thinking.” Moneta discussed how the original budget for renovations was only enough for superficial changes. Since his arrival at Duke, however, he has urged community members to think more broadly, to imagine what would be built if the University started from scratch. The University hired architects

Task force to examine bid day Sorority officials will look at the success of this year’s end-ofrecruitment celebration and consider possible future changes By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

BOBBY RUSSELL/THE CHRONICLE

LARRY MONETA, vice president for student affairs, tells members of the Graduate and Professional Student Council his plans for addressing non-undergraduate student space concerns. from Brailsford & Dunlavey—a Washington, D.C.-based firm that has planned other student centers—to evaluate its options. Moneta said the firm will be presenting the Board of Trustees with a price this spring. “I think it’s GPSC’s desire to have a facility [where], regardless of department, students can gather,” Moneta said. “This is our one chance to do this right.” GPSC Omsbudperson Elayne Heisler, however, said she was not as concerned that graduate and professional students have separate spaces. “I think that graduate and professional students and undergraduates are looking to use the space at different times,” said Heisler, a fourth-year sociology graduate student. “We are more interested in the 4 to 6 [p.m.] happy hour time while [undergraduates] are looking at 9 [p.m.] on. The key is to make things as flexible as possible.”

While Moneta said the focus of the village was going to be weighted toward undergraduates, he said he hopes the additional 1,000 beds on Central will be predominantly for graduate and professional students, staff and faculty. He added there is even a possibility of having a building on Central solely for graduate use. Some students said they were more concerned with the effects village planning would have on academic opportunities. “I am teaching a class of 40 students in a movie theater. We can’t afford to hire new faculty and they are giving [Moneta] millions of dollars,” said Tom Scotto, a fourth-year political science graduate student. Moneta said the funds will all have to come from private sources, as the student village was not included in the capital campaign. He also said he would be careful not to let the village detract from academic initiatives.

Study finds no health, spending relation

Patients in areas where more money is spent on medical care do not appear to fare better or to be more satisfied, according to two studies released Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine. Researchers from the Veterans Affairs Outcomes Group and Dartmouth Medical School looked at how much was spent on care in the last six months of patients' lives to create a map of spending levels across the country. They then compared the records of nearly a million Medicare patients who suffered hip fractures, colon cancer or heart attacks from 1993 to 1995 to see how the patients fared. The researchers found no significant differences in death rates or patients' levels of functioning. •

‘Blackouts’ common, says new survey By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

If you fell on your head and experienced a significant loss of memory, Clinical Professor of Medical Psychiatry Scott Swartzwelder would suggest trucking you off to the hospital for an MRI. When the memory loss stems from one too many White Russians, the damage might not be quite as bad, but Swartzwelder wonders why it’s considered no big deal. Knowledge that alcohol overconsumption can have serious effects increases the gravity of a recently published survey conducted by Medical Center researchers suggesting that college students experience alcohol-related “blackouts” more often than previously thought—and engage in significantly risky behavior as a result. In the first survey of its kind targeted at college students, the researchers used an e-mail survey to collect data on the drinking habits of 772 Duke undergraduates, evenly divided by class and sex. A total of 74.2 percent of the respondents reported consuming alcohol in the two-week period prior to the survey. Of those, 9.4 percent experienced a blackout during that time, while 51.0 percent reported having at least one during their lives. “People have long assumed blackouts don’t really happen among young college students,” said Aaron White, assistant research professor of medical psychiatry and lead author of the study. “Ask any college student and they’ll tell you that’s wrong, but no one ever did the research to demonstrate

that it’s wrong.”

Swartzwelder agreed the results were surprising. “We didn’t really expect that we would get numbers as high as this,” he said. “In a lot of colleges today, there’s a greater emphasis on drinking with the specific purpose of getting trashed... instead of using it as a social lubricant.”

Experiencing a blackout should be regarded as a sign that you are consuming too much alcohol, White said, especially when considering the volume of research indicating alcohol’s negative effects on memory and other cognitive functions. “If you’re drinking heavily enough to black out, you’re drinking enough to damage your brain,” he said. Swartzwelder emphasized that overconsumption of alcohol has been shown to limit the ability to remember information learned shortly before drinking, especially in young adults. “If people are drinking to the point that their brains shut down, college

seems like a particularly bad time to do this,” he said. “When you’re in college, it’s all about learning.” From a questionnaire included with the survey, the researchers identified several correlates of a higher incidence of blackouts, including lower grade point average, earlier age of the student’s first alcohol experience and a higher rate of drinking in general. Despite drinking about half the number of drinks per occasion as male students, female students reported roughly the same incidence of black-

New buses add to seat capacity Despite frustrations in the procurement process, four new Orion-model buses will be added to the route during peak times in the day to relieve travel stress. By AARON LEVINE The Chronicle Students rushing to class in the middle of the day may soon find their trip a little easier. Thanks to the acquisition of four new Orionmodel buses, student capacity at peak travel times of the day will increase, said Catherine Reeve, director of parking and transportation. The new buses will run in addition to the older buses, eventually replacing them. “We’re going to keep some buses on even with these new buses coming on to meet the demand of the 2:30 to 3:30 [p.m.] time period. These buses are going to be able to accommodate the increased demand this semester,”

Reeve said. The new buses include a scrolling marquee and perimeter seating—features similar to the Orion buses currently in use. The buses will use cleaner diesel technology, which will allow them to meet much higher emission standards, Assistant Director ofTransit Peter Murphy explained. “With the pollution issue, the clean diesel buses do much better,” he said. The buses, ordered in the fall of 2001, will join a band of older buses, some of which have more than 20 years ofroad use. “Liability is a factor. Two of the buses we were using were 1982 or 1981 models. When you have a newer fleet it makes it easier to rotate and keep up with maintenance,” Murphy said. Despite the improved features, some students expressed mixed feelings about the benefits the new buses will bring. “Anything that would improve East to West [Campus] travel would help but there are sometimes more things [transportation officials] could do than just putting newer buses in the rotation,” said thirdyear law student Erin Nicholson.

“It’s been very disappointing and very frustrating. We ordered these buses in 2001.” Catherine Reeve,

director of parking AND TRANSPORTATION

Ridership issues aside, the new buses are also easier to handle. Bus operator Clark Smith explained that the older Blue Bird buses are not as finely-tuned as Orions. “The Blue Birds have a smaller turning radius. On some routes, we specify only Orions can be used because Blue Birds can’t make it,” Smith said. But while students, administrators and bus operators ultimately welcomed the new additions, Reeve admitted that the procurement process was difficult. “It’s been very disappointing and very frustrating. We ordered the buses in 2001. We wanted them for the start of [this] school year,” Reeve said. The new buses must get approved by the State Department of Transportation, a decision anticipated to come in the next few weeks. In the meantime, many students remain optimistic about the new buses. “It’s definitely a good thing,” freshman Mark Donaid said. “It’ll help me to make it class on time.”

Israel sends tanks into Gaza, denies invasion label Small strip of Palestinian territory has remained under self-governance since Oslo process By IBRAHIM BARZAK The Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Backed by helicopter gunfire, dozens of Israeli tanks rolled into Gaza City late Tuesday, setting off clashes with Palestinians that left seven Palestinians dead and 20 wounded, Palestinian hospital officials said. The incursion, the second in Gaza in as many days, was part of a crackdown after the militant Islamic group Hamas blew up a tank over the weekend, killing four soldiers. Hamas claimed Wednesday that once again, it destroyed a tank, this time with a suicide bomber. The Israeli military said it knew nothing about an attack on its tank and would only say that the incursion was limited in

Soldiers blew up a metal workshop, one of the largest in the city, Palestinians said. Israel charges that Palestinians use such workshops to produce weapons. Witnesses said an explosion set one of the invading tanks on fire, and in a statement, Hamas claimed responsibility, saying that a suicide bomber, Karim Batron, 21, from Gaza City, blew up the tank.

Jesica remains at the top of the national organ donor list, and the family said they hoped a match could be found in the short time the girl has left. According to a statement issued by Mahoney, Hospital administrators tried to stop the family from speaking to the press or taking pictures of Jesica, and attempted, in a “hostile” meeting with the family and Mahoney, to limit the latter’s access to the girl, against the wishes of her parents. The Hospital’s tone changed when

Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., Woman’s College ’5B, called the cellular phone of Mahoney—her Franklin County cam-

paign manager—during the meeting. Dole offered to speak with one of the ad-

ministrators, who declined, according to Mahoney’s statement. “The Hospital’s tone instantly changed the minute Mack hung up the phone with Senator Dole,” the statement reads. Medical Center officials declined to comment on Mahoney’s claims. A Dole spokesperson could not be reached for comment. The New England Organ Bank, which sent the organs, confirmed Monday that the donor’s organs were clearly and correctly labeled before leaving Boston. Based on a match found in the national organ database maintained by the United Network for Organ Sharing, NEOB conveyed an organ “import offer”

“shook like an earthquake” from the force of the blast, and she saw the tank burning outside. “Bullets are coming from all directions,” she said. “It’s a real war here.”

Gunfire and explosions could be heard all over Gaza City, which was blacked out early Wednesday after Israel cut the electricity supply to the city of about 300,000, Palestinians said. Seven Palestinians, including the bomber, were killed and 20 people were wounded in exchanges of fire with Israeli forces, Palestinian hospital officials said. The Israelis left behind considerable destruction when they pulled out of the city before 4 a.m., residents said. Hamas official Abdel Aziz Rantisi warned Israel leaders that Gaza would be “the graveyard for their soldiers.” He said Hamas would “continue our holy

war to liberate this land,” referring to Israel as well as Gaza and the West Bank.

Eight Hamas activists have been

confirmed killed in the last three days, though six of them died in a mysterious explosion that may not have been tied to Israel. Israel acknowledging Palestinian hardships lifted a quarantine Tuesday that idled thousands of Palestinian workers. Israel had closed off the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Monday at the beginning of the four-day Muslim Feast of the Sacrifice holiday. At the time, Israel cited warnings of terror attacks in Israel. Israel had been allowing about 20,000 Palestinians to work in Israel, a fraction of the number before, fighting erupted, but they, were idled by the closure.

fered to Duke and [Duke was] relayed the info we got from New England,” she said. “From that point on, it’s the Duke surgeons’ decision to transplant.” In a CDS statement late Tuesday, Corrado elaborated that the offer was originally made for two type-A-positive patients cleared through UNOS, but after these were declined by Duke transplant surgeons, one of the surgeons requested the heart and lungs for a third patient, Jesica Santillan. “Car-

olina Donor Services was informed that Duke suspected an incompatible blood match only after the transplant took place,” she wrote. To UNOS officials’ knowledge, only twice before in the last 15 years has an organ with the incorrect blood type been delivered to a recipient, and only once was such an operation completed—the patient died soon afterward. UNOS’s database checks for blood type match, indicating the initial error must have been made somewhere else, spokesperson Anne Paschke said. “There are a number of different error points. It could be incorrectly entered

According to the study, students experiencing blackouts also engage in a wide range of unsafe behavior, including having unprotected sex, vandalizing property and driving a car. Freshman Andrew Schmidt admitted to having experienced an alcohol-induced blackout. He said he understood the risk they represent, but that sometimes they just happen. “I never planned on doing it,” he said. “I definitely try to limit my drinking.” The survey was published in the February 2003 issue of the Journal ofAmerican College Health. The same team completed and will eventually publish another survey, conducting 50 phone interviews to gauge more closely the social and emotional factors surrounding blackout incidence. “I’m not interested in this to find another reason why college students shouldn’t drink,” White said. Students and college administrators should just be aware of the prevalence of blackouts and their associated dangers, he said. White explained that the Duke students comprising the survey were not meant to be representative of college students in general. “It’s an initial step,” he said.

ARSON from page 2 after an elderly passenger yelled at the man to stop, he dropped the lighter while several other passengers grabbed him. Witnesses said, however, that they moved too late to stop the man from igniting the liquid, which burst into flames, sending black smoke and

poisonous fumes through the car. The man, identified by the authorities as Kim Daehan, was arrested when he showed up at a hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation and was recognized by people who had seen him on the train. YTN reported that Kim was a truck driver and had previously threatened to burn down a hospital after complaining that he had not been treated properly. The fire was initially believed to have been confined to a single six-car train, but officials said the flames leapt to a second train, where most of the bodies were discovered as firefighters wearing gas masks and carrying oxygen equipment climbed through the wreckage. The subway fire broke out at 10 a.m. local time and was reported extinguished three hours later, but waves of toxic gas slowed down the rescue. At a news conference convened after the discovery of the subway car filled with bodies, Taegu s mayor, Cho Hae-hyong, said rescue workers had picked up all of the victims found outside the train but were still looking for the people trapped inside at least one of the cars. The mayor said the bodies were “difficult to identify.” As for the arrested man, he said he had been found “to have a history of mental illness.” One woman, Kim Bok-sun, 45, said she received a call by cell phone from her daughter, Kang Yeon-ju, 21, saying that the train was on fire, and she was unable to open the door.

sororities allowed students to quickly rebound if they were disappointed by not receiving a bid from the sorority that was their top choice. “Girls who didn’t receive the bids they wanted didn’t have time... to be upset about it,” said Katie Fisher, a freshman. Ryan pointed out that the prospective members officially had 72 hours to sign their bid cards to accept membership into a sorority, but she added Panhel was flexible if a student needed more time. “They don’t have to make a commitment on bid day,” Ryan said. “It gives them the opportunity and encourages them to see what it’s like.... It’s better to start doing it and then decide you don’t want to do it.” Many Panhel members also agreed male onlookers on the sidelines of the

Bryan Center walkway was an unexpected presence on bid day. “I think that members of the Duke community are more mature than that, but apparently that isn’t the case,” Ryan said. “That’s something we need to think about for the future.” The prospective sorority members who walked down the walkway themselves considered the situation more lightly and thought the male students just wanted to have fun. “[The male spectators were notl a big deal,” said freshman Erika Cabo. “I don’t think there really needs to be any changes.” Other new sorority members, however, said the procession down the Bryan Center walkway gave off an image they did not want to portray. “It was more of a spectacle than it needs to be,” Boysen said.

APPLICANTS from page 1 year were able to apply for need-based financial aid. “There is an entire slew of applicants now that we simply couldn’t consider two years ago,” he said. A total of 1,364 foreign students applied, up 164 over 1,200 in 2002. Two years ago, only 712 foreign students applied. Also noteworthy was a decline in the number of applicants from the Carolinas, a group that witnessed a large upswing in 2002 in part due to

Sept. 11, “The fact that we could see the level of increase we saw this year in spite of the fact that we saw a decrease in one of the areas responsible for the increase last year is really a reflection of a much broader response to our recruitment efforts,” he said. Guttentag noted the easiest method of evaluation of overall applicants before actually reading the applications—SAT scores—suggests a significantly stronger pool than last year. Duke received nearly double the number of applicants who scored a perfect 1600 on their SATs—l99 this year, 103 last year; 2,405 applicants had SAT scores above 1500, compared to 2,015 last year and 1,867 the year before; 4,300 had board scores above 1450, compared with 3,900 in 2002 and 3,600 in 2001. “I’ve been receiving feedback from the admissions officers as they were reading, and from what they’ve been saying, this seems to be a step up,” Guttentag said. Both undergraduate schools received a record number of applicants this year; 13,933 for Trinity College and 2,723 for the Pratt School of Engineering. Minority applications also hit new highs, specifically Asian and Asian Americans at 3,251 and black appli-

cants at 1,572. “We’ve been working hard in a lot of venues and for a good while to increase minority representation at Duke,” Guttentag said. “The progress that we’ve

made in the last 15 years is real.” About 5,200 high school seniors applied online, and 66 percent of the applicants indicated that they are going to apply for financial aid. University officials are targeting a class of between 1625 and 1630, but they said it could reach as high as 1640. Four-hundred seventy-five applicants have already been accepted via early decision, and to fill the remaining

spots, Guttentag expects to accept about the same 3,700 regular decision applicants as last year.

Blue Devils square off against Maryland tonight Men s basketball gets chance to avenge season’s Ist loss versus arch-rival Terps By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

This week’s snow storms left a

damper on much of the Atlantic coast and even on the Atlantic Coast Conference’s schedule, but for Duke and

Maryland’s men’s basketball teams, the conditions left them much the same as they’ve been all season: a bit weathered, but never too cooled off. The Terrapins fought off a schedule shift of their Monday game to pound Wake Forest 90-67 and deal with only a couple hours of holdover at Baltimore-Washington International, finally climbing to the top of the conference ten months after taking the national title. The airports in Virginia, meanwhile, were not as kind to the Blue Devils after their 78-59 trouncing of UVa, forcing them to bus it to Durham until 5:45 Sunday morning. And so even though No. 13 Maryland (16-6, 8-3 in the ACC) and eighthranked Duke (17-4, 7-4) have strayed a bit from the sunnier paths of last season, the arch-rivals are arguably coming off their best games of the year

heading into tonight’s 9 p.m. match-up

at Cameron Indoor Stadium. When the two teams faced off a month ago, the Terps knocked off the then-undefeated Blue Devils, thanks in part to their snapping stranglehold on the post—an area Duke has developed oflate to spark some fire on their icy ride through conference play. “We’ve talked about some different strategies that we’re going to try to use to burn them down,” center Casey Sanders said. “And one obvious strategy would be to try to match them on the boards. We know as a team that last time out in College Park we didn’t do a great job on the boards. They really had their way with us.” Forward Ryan Randle in particular

gave the Blue Devils some strength they couldn’t handle at the Comcast Center, muscling his way to 15 points and 17 rebounds. But after freshman Shelden Williams’ breakout 20-point, eight-rebound, four-block performance against the Cavaliers, Duke has a little bite of its own. “It never happens in just one game like there’s a magic potion or some-

thing like that,” head coach Mike

Krzyzewski said ofWilliams. “Certainly we’ve seen his improvement throughout the year, and at times he’s played really we 11.... We didn’t force it,

outscored Duke 19-3, Duhon was absent from the offense, leaving the team he is supposed to lead without a head. Despite failing at Maryland, Duhon has stepped up in the Blue Devils’ other two big games—the home win against North Carolina and the double overtime loss at Wake Forest. Against UNC, the Duke point guard scored 12 points including several key

said. “In the past he would always step up when they needed a big shot.” While Duhon has not lived up to the expectations of many, he remains one of 20 finalists for the Naismith Player of the Year award. As the lone captain at the start of the season, his teammates look to him as their leader. “Chris is our leader, he is our head,” senior Casey Sanders said. “Not so much scoring- and points-wise but assists-wise and running the team. He is the guy that really gives our team its character. When he is on top of his game we are a very difficult team to match

with.”

The Blue Devils hold a similar respect for their nemesis Blake.

“Ditto,” Sanders said about Blake’s similar role. “They go as Blake goes. He is the main ballhandler. He is the one that gets everybody in position to score and be successful. He hits the momentum shots for them.”

CHRIS DUHON, who has been an offensiveforce recently, will have to contain Maryland’s Steve Blake tonight,

While both players are renowned for running their team’s offense, the two point guards have the reputation for being excellent defenders. Duhon and Blake will be staring each other in the eye on defense for much of the contest, Duhon will try to prevent Blake, the

school’s all-time leader in assists, from penetrating into the lane and either

kicking the ball out to his shooters or by opening up opportunities for Maryland’s strong inside attack, If the game is tight, especially down the stretch, expect Blake and Duhon to play critical roles in the outcome of the contest and affirm Krzyzewski’s acknowledgment ofthe importance of the point guard in the college game.

Krzyzewski, Williams form top coaching rivalry Coaches utilize polar opposite styles on court, still lead teams to Final Fours, NCAA titles By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

CHRONI

.E FILE PHOTO

MIKE KRZYZEWSKI will face coaching rival Gary Williams in tonight game against the Terps,

With the retirement of former UNC head coach Dean Smith and the emergence of Maryland as a national powerhouse, Terrapin head coach Gary Williams and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski have created the premier coaching rivalry in college basketball. Although each has found ways to lead teams to victory, the formula for this product differs greatly. “The thing that Coach Williams does differently from Coach K is that he is more adamant on the sidelines as far as going up and down,” Duke senior Casey Sanders said. “Coach K is more reserved as far as coaching style, but they’re both effective.” Williams has sweat his way to 496 victories and 277 losses over his illustrious career. The Maryland alum left Ohio State University 14 years ago to coach at College Park, Md., despite the fact that the school was on NCAA sanctions. Williams quickly built up the program, leading Maryland to consistent top-25 rankings by the end of the 19905. It was not until the new millennium, however, that Williams finally led the Terps to the peak of college basketball. In 2002, he became the first coach since 1974 to lead his alma mater to the national title. Conversely, Krzyzewski, or Coach K, as he is known at Duke, left his head coaching spot at West Point with a losing record, but Duke saw something special in him and he was hired.

Krzyzewski has led Duke to 11 Final Fours and three national championships in his time in Durham, and is showing no

signs of slowing down. However, what he and Williams do have in common is a knack for working

the referees in their favor. “I think both of them are something to reckon with as far as referees are concerned—the way they try to get calls for their teams,” Sanders said. Although Krzyzewski is known as the calmer coach, Duke freshman Shelden Williams said the Chicago native is not always mild tempered. “He tries to kind of exploit emotions in the game,” Shelden Williams said. “On the sidelines he can be calm, but at halftime and in the huddle he gets us fired up.” Shelden Williams said that although Krzyzewski can be in-your-face, he lets his players play the way they want to. “Coach K’s style is aggressive and to play hard,” Shelden Williams said. “If you get caught up in a moment, let that moment take you. You don’t always have to slow things down, and call plays. Go with the flow of the game.” Although the styles of the coaches greatly differ, one thing is for sure: The players will be ready to play tomorrow. Although the Terrapins won the first contest by 15 points, Gary Williams is not taking Duke lightly. “If anyone thinks Duke won’t be around during tournament time, they are sorely mistaken,” he said.

Freshman classes lead Blue Devils, Terrapins After losing 6 players to NBA last season, Duke-Maryland rivalry welcomes new faces By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle After last year’s teams lost a combined six players to the NBA, Maryland and Duke were aware that they would have to rely on young talent this season. But while the Blue Devils knew they were bringing in a talented core of freshmen, the Terrapin recruits have surprised the ACC with their solid play,

creating a debate on which school has the best first-year players. Freshman J.J. Redick has been the most effective of anyone on the two teams, averaging 15.4 points per game. While Redick is the clear leader of the bunch, the race among the rest of the newcomers is more muddled. Nick Garner-Medley has used his strong, 6-foot-7 frame to become Mary-

J.J. REDICK is one of many newcomers that have contributed to Duke’s program this season

land’s fifth leading scorer at 6.0 points per game. He scored an efficient eight

points in 15 minutes in the previous game against Duke this season. An athletic swing-man, 6-foot-9 Travis Garrison has perhaps the most potential of the group. He is very quick for his size, and handles the ball with extreme dexterity. Blue Devil power forward Shelden Williams had nothing but praise for his Terrapin counterpart, saying that he was one of the better, new swingmen in college basketball. Williams has also made a name for himself. The 6-foot-9 power forward has been dominating at times, scoring 15, 18 and 20 points against Georgetown, Georgia Tech and Virginia, respectively. Inconsistency has plagued the Midwest City, Okla., native, however, as he mustered only three points on the Jan. 18 meeting between Maryland and Duke. Duke’s other inconsistent big man is Shavlik Randolph. The Raleigh native has at times appeared unstoppable, but has complemented this performance with ineffectiveness. He followed his 17 point outburst against at home versus Virginia with a five point effort against at Maryland. Perhaps the two most closely matched players in the group are Maryland’s Jonathan Gilcrist and Duke’s Sean Dockery, who were both among the top-five high school point guards in the nation a year ago. Gilcrist is. a twotime Virginia state player of the year, and is averaging four points per game. Though his statistics are unimpressive,

the 6-foot-1 Virginia Beach native has played tremendous defense and come up big when needed. Dockery is averaging just four points a game as well, while also getting one steal a game in 10.9 minutes. Dockery also came up big against Florida State, scoring a layup in the game’s final minutes to cut the Seminole lead to one in Duke’s 75-70 loss. Rounding out Duke’s freshmen are Lee Melchioimi and Michael Thompson. Melchionni is a walk-on, and Thompson has struggled to get minutes. Blue Devil center Casey Sanders, however, said all the contributions from Duke’s freshmen

have been productive. “We’re able to match anyone in the country as far as depth,” the senior said. “The way that Shelden’s playing, tideway that Shav’s played, and even Mike and some ofthe things he can do as far as getting us ready for games—l don’t think there’s anybody that bangs as much as Michael Thompson.” Rounding out the rookie class for Maryland is junior Jamar Smith. The 6foot-9 forward transferred from junior college and is getting 5.2 points per game in his first Division I competition. Sanders said it bodes well for Duke’s potential that none of the Blue Devil rookies are juniors because it will allow them more time to develop at the collegiate level. “I think we’re able to match anyone in the country as far as depth,” Sanders said. “I like our class, but I’m biased.”

Shining in new role, Nicholas brings Terps to battle By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

In an age when college sports are riddled with disgruntled and impatient athletes that would sooner transfer to other schools than compete for playing time, Drew Nicholas is an anomaly. A 6-foot-3 senior guard

out of Hempstead, N.Y., Nicholas’ role has changed drastically in his time at Maryland—from serving as backup to All-America guard Juan Dixon the past three seasons, to his current distinction as the secondleading scorer in the ACC with 18 points per game. “Nicholas is really what every coach would like, and that is a kid who continues to develop over a four-year period of time, plays behind an outstanding player, learns from that player, and then when his time comes, he shines,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. In his years playing behind Dixon, Nicholas’ talents were hidden to everyone outside of Maryland practices. Such is a common issue for many of the nation’s top athletic programs, but as Nicholas has proved, pa-

tience is a virtue—and the reward has been more than worth the wait.

“I’m definitely pleased, I wouldn’t necessarily say surprised,” Nicholas said. “I knew a lot of people didn’t think I would be able to have this kind of year. I had confidence in myself. I knew I could do these kinds of things. I knew my opportunity would come. I knew if I just got minutes, I would be able to put points on the board.” From his freshman season, when Nicholas averaged 15.7 minutes and 5.1 points per game, to his junior year when he played 20.5 minutes and scored 7.1 points per game, Nicholas worked hard on his allaround game. His improvement was clear, as his production on the court improved from one season to the next, as did his anticipation of displacing himself from

Dixon’s shadow. “It was real difficult at times,” Nicholas said. “I saw a lot of guys from the area or around the country, who I felt I was as good as, get opportunities to play earlier in their careers.” Nicholas had shown flashes of excellence in the past, however, including last year’s game in Cameron

DREW NICHOLAS has stepped into the limelight for Maryland after playing behind Juan Dixon last season.

Indoor Stadium when he went 5-for-6 from the field and 2-for-2 from the foul line to rack up 12 points. His three-point shooting capabilities were unquestionable, averaging around 40 percent in his sophomore and junior seasons. But such numbers were produced in an offense that boasted three All-American candidates. Coming into this season it was the Terps biggest question: Could Nicholas assume the role as the team’s No. 1 scorer? “We really didn’t know,” Maryland head coach Gary Williams said. “I knew he could shoot, but he’s had to take on some leadership responsibilities and handle the ball some and he’s played some really good defense. It’s nice to see. You preach to the younger players in your program that they’ll get their chance, and he’s certainly taken advantage.” Twenty-two games into this year’s campaign, Nicholas has not only shot his way to the top of the conference, he is also fourth in the conference in free throw shooting percentage, tenth in field goal percentage, and thirteenth in assists. “Drew spent a lot of time in the gym this summer,”

Williams said. “Drew is smart on the court. The biggest thing with Drew is he’s found ways to get open.” The Terrapins, coming off a big win over then-conference leader Wake Forest, will need jolly St. Nicholas to deliver a career performance Saturday when the Terrapins come into Cameron Indoor Stadium. Maryland would love nothing more than to end Duke’s home-court winning streak, which currently stands at 25; and Nicholas welcomes the challenge, as do the Terrapins, who have won two of their last three contests at Cameron. Wednesday’s game will be a more daunting challenge, however, especially considering Maryland boasts five true freshmen. And despite the fact Maryland also totes experienced players such as Steve Blake and Tahj Holden, the onus will clearly be on Nicholas to drive the freshmen to a strong performance against the Blue Devils, ‘You have to guide those guys along,” Nicholas said, “It’s one of those things you want to have the burden of [doing]. You don’t necessarily consider it pressure, it’s the kind of pressure you want as a player.”

Duke basketball is famous for many things, but perhaps what elevates the program from the rest of the country’s college teams is its fans, the Cameron Crazies. Over the last several decades, the Crazies have become a force in their own right, converting the lawn in front ofWilson Recreation Center into their own tent city-

comes up. “The Crazies this year have not been as good as they have in years past,” said senior Jason Levine, who is tenting. “I would say there has been a steady decline over the last three years.” That cankerous sentiment has been emitting from the locker rooms of Cameron as well. “Because of the exposure we get as a school and as a community people sometimes say that things get old and stale,” senior center Casey Sanders said. “[The Cameron Crazies] have class [to attend]. Duke is not getting any easier. Taunting at times has been a hit-or-miss situation.” Sanders’ and Levine’s claims might be legitimate. Although they have a

reputation of being the basketball team’s most loyal fans, the Crazies have left many empty seats in the student

section this season. The student section, which has a 1,250-1,300 person capacity, filled to a maximum for three ACC games prior to the Maryland game; but only 500 hundred or so students watched the Butler game two weeks ago and approximately 800 students came to the conference contest against Clemson last week, according to Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan. Against North Carolina there were still student section seats available at tipoff. In addition to the low attendance numbers, there have been less students tenting this year than in previous ones. While a little more than 100 tents were registered for the North Carolina game, that number has dropped to approximately 65 for the Maryland game. The Crazies have also been criticized for theirlack of creativity, a characteristic that initially made them famous. “Apathy, that’s the attitude of the Cameron Crazies this year,” sophomore Tom Parisi said. “The cheers have been poor to quite poor, definitely not the originality we are known f0r.... It is more of a social event now. People come out, they get to be on TV, have a nice time. It has become something you tell your grandkids about.” There are many possible for reasons for the decline in student spirit this season. One is weather—some tenters attributed the drop in the number of tenters to the severe weather Durham has experienced this winter. K-ville has been under attack from rain, snow, and freezing temperatures

THE CAMERON CRAZIES have been noticeably absent at some home games this season

for most of the tenting period, and unlike last year—when there was a break in the tenting schedule between the North Carolina and Maryland games—this season’s schedule dictated a backto-back tenting games. That lack of break has translated into more than a month of straight camping time for many tenters. That, too, has been responsible for scaring off prospective tenters. Morgan, however, does not agree. “Every year people complain [about

the last year’s Crazies being better] to the point of mythical proportions,” Morgan said. “Next year people will complain. The

Crazies have such a reputation that people expect every chant and cheer to be

earth-shattering.” And despite all the criticism they have received this year, many still say the Cameron Crazies are still the most dedicated college basketball fans in the country. “I am not sure if we can call us the craziest fans in the land, but people [at other colleges] still key on us,” Welsh said. “The bottom line is that we are the only people to sleep outside for weeks at a time to get tickets to a basketball game. The state of the union in K-ville is strong.”

Men’s golf places 9th in Tourney Freshman Ryan Blaum led the Blue Devils with a second-place finish in the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championship. Duke finished ninth overall. By JAKE POSES The Chronicle Piloted by a second-place performance by freshman Ryan Blaum, the Blue Devil men’s golf team finished in ninth place at the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach Florida.

Trahan, last year’s collegiate player of the year, in the second playoff hole. “I think we were a little rusty in the first tournament of the year,” junior Mike Castleforte said. “All three freshmen played really solid for us. We didn’t finish as well as we would have liked, but it was something to build on.” Coming into yesterday’s final round, Dustin Bray of the University of Carolina held the 36-hole lead. Blaum stood seven strokes behind, while the Tigers’ Trahan was positioned eight strokes back. After Blaum and Trahan shot 68 and 67 respectively in their final rounds, they were joined by Bray tied at 211 following 54 holes. Blaum started the day from so far back, said he was unaware that he remained in contention for the individual crown and that he was just out See GOLF on page 10

MIKE CASTLEFORTE and the men’s golf team ended with a ninth place finish.

Mike Corey was selected Tuesday night by The Chronicle sports staff to be the sports editor of the 99th volume for the 2003-2004 school year. He will succeed Paul Doran, the current editor. Corey is a graduate of Columbus Academy in Ohio. A sophomore, Mike is an avid Cameron Crazie, who can almost always be spotted at center court sporting a cape and referee shirt. Corey is currently a sports associate editor for the 98th volume. He served as sports staff writer his freshman year, and currently focuses on covering women’s lacrosse and men’s soccer. Corey plans on making changes to both the sports copyediting process and its layout. He also wants to vary column writers and include more in-depth reporting in feature stories.

Cavs lose second straight in 73-64 fall to Clemson By HANK KURZ JR. The Associated Press

Clemson 73 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Edward Scott had a perfect answer for a 64 Virginia team that was fired up to win: Virginia Edward Scott. The senior guard scored 32 points and hit a huge three and several other key buckets down the stretch as Clemson dealt Virginia’s NCAA tournament hopes a serious blow with a 73-64 win Tuesday night. The Tigers (14-8, 4-7 in the ACC) ended a 10-game road losing streak in the league dating to January 2002 and handed Virginia its second consecutive home loss after the Cavaliers started 10-0 at University Hall. Getting back to basics was the key for the Tigers, Scott said, especially when they took a nine-point lead into the halftime locker room. “We held our composure, made plays, got on a little run and didn’t make stupid mistakes to let them get back in the game,” he said. Virginia (14-10, 5-7) got 30 points from Devin Smith and 14 with 13 rebounds from Travis Watson, but played its second straight sluggish game, despite the high stakes, and allowed Clemson to sweep the season series. The Cavaliers, who lost 78-77 at Clemson Jan. 18,

trailed by nine at halftime, got within three early and four late, but Scott hit about a 26-footer with 3:19 left and scored eight of the Tigers’ last 13. “We just couldn’t stop him,” Virginia head coach

Pete Gillen said. Chey Christie added 16 points for Clemson, all but two coming in the first half, and Tomas Nagys had 11, but Scott stole the show. His evening included a piece of history, as his fifth of eight rebounds made him the ninth player in ACC history to get 1,000 points, 500 assists and 400 rebounds in his career. He had four assists. Clemson led 59-46 with 7:13 left before Smith hit two free throws, Elton Brown hit two more and Watson swished a three-pointer, just his fifth of the season, to pull Virginia to 59-53 with 4:59 remaining. Nagys followed with a free throw and Smith hit his sixth three-pointer to make it 63-59, whipping the crowd into a comeback-minded frenzy. But at the other end, Scott let the shot clock get close to zero, stepped back at the top of the key and swished his third three. The Cavaliers, already in the penalty, had no chance to catch up, and Gillen said his frustration includes his team’s inability to score in long stretches to the absence of would-be point guard Keith Jenifer.

King honored Phillip King, holding a 5-0 record this season in singles and doubles, was named ACC Player of the Week. His team competes in tomorrow’s National Team Indoors.

Swiss dominate America’s Cup after 3 of 9 races By WARREN ST. JOHN

New York Times News Service

Only AUCKLAND, New Zealand three races into a best-of-nine-race series, the America’s Cup on Tuesday began to feel like one of those Super Bowls where the team with the vaunted offense is thrown out of its rhythm in the first quarter by turnovers and

mental mistakes and finds itself horri-

bly behind before the fans at home have managed to get the nachos out of the microwave. Despite a trove of radical design innovations, notably the Hula, a underwater appendage that increases waterline length and potential speed, Team New Zealand and its ruddy-faced skipper Dean Barker are down, 3-0, to Russell Coutts and his Swiss team Alinghi, even though the regatta feels as if it has barely begun. Part of that feeling is because the teams have really sailed only two races. On the first leg of Race 1, Team New Zealand found its boat swamped and quickly suffered a series of mechanical

breakdowns that forced Barker to turn for home not 25 minutes into the race. Liken that to fumbling the opening kickoff on your 5-yard line.

Race Two was the body blow. After leading around four marks, Barker allowed himself to get rolled by Coutts near the finish line. Giants fans who watched their team give up a 24-point lead in the playoffs against San Francisco will understand the misery of the Kiwi faithful, some of whom were lining up at bars to order celebratory glasses of champagne when the roll occurred. Tuesday’s race was over in the opening minutes as well, when the boats struck out for different sides of the course hoping to capitalize on the first

wind shift. Alinghi guessed correctly, and was quickly hurled into a six boatlength lead. Usually, the wind oscillates, taking back at least some of what it has given. But after that first shift, the wind steadied, and Alinghi rode the lead all the way to the mark. It never looked back and took a 3-0 lead. “I don’t think it’s as bad as a lot of people think,” Barker said after that race. “Sure, we’re in a very tough position now—3-0 down is not a nice place to be—but we certainly haven’t given up. We just have to make sure we don’t make any sort of mistakes.” As Barker tries to rally his crew, talk around the docks has turned to something close to a postmortem, however premature, of Team New Zealand’s performance. A team many had predicted to sweep is now desperately behind. No

team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win an America’s Cup.

Francesco de Angelis, the skipper of

the Italian team Prada, which lost by 50 to Coutts when he skippered Team New Zealand in the 2000 America’s Cup, said he thinks the Kiwis may have overestimated their speed advantage. . “I think the boats have very similar speed,” De Angelis said. “So I wonder if the problem is that they were expecting that the boat could win the game for them. Now they have a big reality check. It won’t be the boat. They have to outsail the other group. The question is, did they ever consider the perspective that maybe they would not be faster?” Peter Gilmour, a veteran America’s Cup skipper who headed the One World challenge for the current Cup, agreed. “They thought they were going to beat them 5-0,” he said of the Kiwis. “The Hula and the ‘we’ll be faster’ part of it has taken over their thinking.”

GOLF from page 9 there trying to improve his team’s standing. “I just played solid all three rounds,” Blaum said. “Doing well against arguably one of the best fields was a big boost for me.” Bray was eliminated on the first playoff hole when he failed to match birdies by Blaum and Trahan, who sank a dramatic 25-foot putt. On the next hole, Trahan fired his approach shot to within five feet of the cup and sank his eagle putt to earn the individual title. “I didn’t feel any pressure to win but everyone gets jitters when you are in a situation like that,” Blaum said. “I really enjoy the pressure situation, it was a lot of fun and it was a great experience.” Blaum’s teammates has tremendous confidence in

him as he battled an experienced golfer in the playoff. “The pressure didn’t seem to affect him at all,” Castleforte said. “He played outstanding. The experience should help him the rest of the season.”

On the heels of Blaum’s strong final round, the Blue Devils improved on their 11thplace standing after 36 holes. Nathan Smith fired a 75 on Tuesday to finish the event in a tie for 23rd. Leif Olson followed up a disappointing 77 in his first round with a 73 and a 74 to end the tournament tied for 47th place. Castleforte, who shot a 233, was disappointed in his play, but recognizing it was the year’s first tournament, he was not discouraged. “The first day I putted terribly,” Castleforte said. “I just could not putt well. I had a little trouble adjusting to the tournament atmosphere.” Due to the cold weather in Durham, the Duke

golfers said they were not been able to practice as much as they would have liked. Additionally, the conditions in Jacksonville were also difficult as strong winds made play very tough.

“All three freshmen played really solid for us. We didn’t finish as well as we would have liked, but it was something to build on.” Mike Castleforte “It was the first tournament of the spring,” said Blaum. “I think we established we had to work a little harder as a team.”

The team hits the course again Feb. 23 at the Puerto Rico Classic in San Juan.

A house divided The divided N.C. House compromised to form a dual-speakership, but will it be able to act effectively over the next term?

Two

weeks ago, the North Carolina House of Representatives took the historic step of electing two representatives—one Republican and one Democrat —to share the position of Speaker of the House, marking the first time since 1866 that the position has been shared between two people. The reason for this dual-speakership is the fact that the legislature is evenly spilt between the two parties, with 60 Democrats and 60 Republicans. This deadlocked the chamber, preventing any one candidate for speaker from gathering enough voters to win. After a week in which numerous votes were taken in an attempt to find a compromise position, the house finally let Democrat Jim Black and Republican Richard Morgan share the position, with them serving as speaker on alternating days. This solution, while perhaps the only way to deal with an otherwise gridlocked and paralyzed legislature, is not ideal for the state of North Carolina and ensures that deadlock will continue to characterize this legislative session. The fact that the house could not choose a single speaker demonstrates the difficulty of getting anything done in this climate, but the creative solution of a dualspeakership perhaps is an indication that some degree of compromise can be reached. However, it is clear to outside observers that the current system will not work. The two parties are acrimoniously opposed to one another, and they cannot be trusted or expected to put aside their deep ideological differences. As a result, the legislature will not get much accomplished this year. Moreover, the fact that the leadership will constantly be shifting will further immobilize the legislature. Without a consistent, coherent leadership, there will be no flow, no constant thread of leadership to form and agenda or guide the legislature. One good thing resulting from this is that the legislature will not be effecting any negative changes, but with the current budget crunch, the legislature needs to take serious steps to address spending problems, prioritizing different programs, and reexamining the current tax structure. Hopefully, the legislature will be able to compromise when necessary in order to address the state’s pressing needs, but it seems unlikely that two groups so divided can make this relationship work.

Head line monitor explains Maryland game policy Tomorrow, the men’s basketball team takes on the University of Maryland at 9 p.m. in one of the biggest home contests of the year. There currently are around 700 tenters lined up for Wednesday’s game; however, there is still room for many people to be let in from the walk-up line. Students in the walk-up line will be admitted after all of the tenting students. The line should form with students exiting the line only to attend class, get food and attend to human needs. Soon after the line has formed, the line monitors will arrive to register the people in the line. Each indi-

vidual in the line may register along with one friend, forming a two-person group. At the time of registration, only one person from the group needs to be present. Line monitors will return to the line at random, unannounced times to perform checks of the line. Each group must have at least one of its two members present at all times. At each check, new groups will be registered at the end of the list in the order they are in the line. Any group missing a check will be moved to the end of the line, behind the new groups registering at that

teed grace period following checks of the walk-up line. At the final check three

hours before tip-off, bracelets will be distributed to all groups that have made their checks. The possession of a bracelet does not guarantee admission into Cameron Indoor Stadium. More details about the walk-up line can be found online at dsg.duke.edu/ kv.html. If you have any questions, send me an email at j.morgan@duke.edu. Let's go Duke! Jeremy Morgan Trinity ’O3

Columnist conflates religion and Nick Christie’s article concerning the social scorn of homosexuals is well-inten-

tioned and, for the most part, unfortunately true. The intolerance and sometimes blatant

hatred shown towards people of alternate sexualities is certainly a problem in this country. However, Christie made a fundamental error by claiming authority on a subject he knows very little: The Bible. The first mistake was his audacious claim concerning Leviticus, an Old Testament law book. He uses the phrase, “anyone who reads Leviticus front to back.” Anyone who has actually read Leviticus front to back recognizes that the book must fit into a large scheme of

thinking. I will grant that

Leviticus is an often confusing and antiquated book. But, it does not stand alone, nor can it ever. We have seen the trouble of taking statutes out of context in our own country—freedom of speech on its own is a dangerous idea, as is the right to bear arms. It is only within

the system of other laws that the Bill of Rights can apply. Leviticus fits into the Bible in a similar manner. Secondly, Christie makes the cliched argument that the New Testament is a “text manipulated by the Church” and that “no actual copy of the Gospels exists.” It is obvious that the Bible is capable of being corrupted and misinterpreted, which leads to acts of terror, such as the Crusades,

under the banner of Christ. However, Christie states that since he has not personally seen the original copy of the Gospels, they are untrue. Let us ponder, for a

moment, the

implications of such a stance. I have never seen the original copy of the Constitution. I have never been to Florida. I did not witness, nor do I know anyone who did witness, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Yet I believe that the Constitution exists. I believe that Florida exists. I believe that Lincoln was shot. Why? Because records exist record-

scorn

for gays

mg each of these. We believe these records because they are written with the intent to inform, not to conform to common ideals. In the same way, the Gospel writers did not distort their message to pacify the masses. Quite the contrary, 11 of the 12 disciples were brutally murdered for their commonly unaccepted beliefs. Lastly, Christie makes a fool of himself by implying the intent of a God that he does not believe exists and thus cannot understand. He questions God's authority to inform already enlightened humans about right and wrong. Christie’s title, “Use truly sinyour ful?” typifies the ridiculous thinking that we can prove God wrong by using our own intellect. It is unfortunate that the plea for hurting groups, like homosexuals, is marred with great lies disguised as authoritative proof. Christopher Pappalardo Trinity ’O6

Dastardly, despicable, drunk driving discouraged I am sickened by what I read in the crime briefs of the Feb. 17 Chronicle: Two independent incidents of Duke students being charged with driving under the influence. There are few people whom I loathe more than I do drunk drivers. DUI can under no circumstances be excused or tolerated. No person, at any time, at any place, should drive while

intoxicated, period. I find it especially disturbing that drunk driving persists at Duke. Now, I am not so naive as to think that Beau Riston

Graham Reynolds are the first Duke students to do something this stupid. Drunk driving happens every weekend that Duke students are on campus. I know this, I hate this, but I sure as hell don’t understand

it. In the Gothic microcosm of late-night buses, Safe Rides, cell phones, friends with cars and ready money for cab fares, there is never a shortage of ways to get home without endangering other people. We like to think of ourselves as enlightened, yet this abominable practice is at best tolerated and at worst glori-
