Santillan family mourns Jesica, plans suit By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle
After two heart-lung transplants and nearly two weeks of life support, perhaps the frail body of 17-year-old Jesica Santillan just had enough. Jesica was declared dead at 1:25 p.m. Saturday, following confirmation from several brain scans and neurologic examinations that she had lost all brain activity. Life support was continued throughout the afternoon so the family could say goodbye, and Jesica’s brand new heart stopped beating at 5:07 p.m. On Feb. 7, a heart and lungs of incompatible blood type were initially transplanted into the girl, whose body rejected the organs, necessitating a second transplant. Following nearly two weeks of life support and declining health, a compatible set of organs was located and transplanted into Jesica early Thursday morning. Although her new heart and lungs were functioning well following the second operation, Jesica’s neurologic status began to deteriorate rapidly. A CT scan conducted 3 a.m. Friday revealed life-threatening swelling and bleeding within the brain, forcing placement of a catheter to drain fluid and measure pressure. ■ Evaluation by a neurologist that morning established irreversible brain damage and a lack ofbrain function. Further tests and scans followed Saturday, and by 1 p.m., a neurologist confirmed that Jesica met the criteria for brain death. A day before the second transplant, a See JESICA on page 8
CHILDREN ACROSS THE STREET FROM DUKE HOSPITAL gather Sunday evening to mourn the passing of Jesica Santillan
Hospital officials detail errors that led to organ transplant mix-up By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle
Following the end of Jesica Santillan’s struggles, Duke Hospital’s own ordeal may be just beginning. The Hospital has been targeted with intense criticism for both its mistaken Feb. 7 transplantation of a heart and lungs of incompatible blood type into 17-year-old Jesica and for its conduct in the aftermath. Now, the Santillan family is considering legal action, multiple health care overseers are conducting investigations and
the national press is asking questions. Family friend and spokesperson Mack Mahoney has complained of the Hospital’s aggressive attempts to underplay the severity of its mistake and to keep details from the media. In a press conference Thursday—after the second transplant, but before the revelation of serious complications —Mahoney argued that the Hospital delayed his attempts to draw media attention to Jesica, dangerously prolonging the time she spent on life support. Doctors have told the family Jesica’s eventual death
probably stemmed from the lengthy time she spent on life support. “Had Duke just admitted this mistake a few days earlier, we wouldn’t be facing these problems today,” he said Thursday. “If she dies, [Duke] murdered her.” Acknowledging the eventual transplant was not the result of a direct donation, Mahoney explained that attention to Jesica may have encouraged open organ donations, citing as proof the quick turnaround from when the story See ORGANS on page 9

Bush proposes health-care reforms
Proposed changes to Medicare, Medicaid promise more individual choices fits in the Medicaid program, which covers 45 million low-income Americans. The elderly would rely more on private health plans, and less on the

WASHINGTON
President
government, for their health benefits under Medicare, which covers 40 million elderly and disabled people. The administration’s vision for Medicare and Social Security moves away from a unilateral, governmentmanaged system with constant benefits. It promises more choices, including the option of picking a private health plan or investing some of their Social Security taxes in the stock market. Critics say these proposals would mean less security, fewer guaranteed benefits and more financial risk for beneficiaries.
George W. Bush has begun one of the most ambitious efforts to reinvent Medicare and Medicaid since the programs were created 38 years ago. Combined with his earlier plan for Social Security, the proposals offer a fundamentally different vision of social welfare policy, many experts say. Bush’s proposals for Medicare and Medicaid would transform these pillars of the Great Society and their guarantee of health benefits to the elderly, disabled and poor. States would have far more power to determine who receives what bene-
The magnitude of the Bush proposals is only gradually dawning on members of Congress. Unlike former president Bill Clinton and former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Bush has not boasted about the boldness of his vision for these programs, perhaps because he is mindful of the voters’ anxiety about major changes in health care. Indeed, a senior administration official dismissed the idea that Bush was attempting fundamental changes in Medicare and Medicaid. “We’re looking at two programs that have worked, that have provided health coverage to people who need it, and we want to help them work better,” the official said. “The idea is to strengthen and improve the programs.”
Iraq considers order to destroy missiles By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press
Iraq has withheld a decision on a BAGHDAD, Iraq United Nations’ order to start destroying its A1 Samoud 2 missile program by the end of the week, but said Sunday it is “serious about solving this.” Iraq’s chief liaison to U.N. weapons inspectors insisted Baghdad is “clean” of weapons of mass destruction and there should be no new U.N. resolution on disarming President Saddam Hussein, as the United States is demanding. At a packed news conference Sunday night, Lt. Gen. Hossam Mohamed Amin gave Iraq’s first official comment on an order Friday by chief weapons inspector Hans Blix that it must dismantle its A1 Samoud 2 missile program. Iraq’s response will likely be a key factor in determining how the U.N. Security (Sound! votes on a probable res-

olution designed to win approval for a U.S. attack on Iraq. “We are serious about solving this,” Amin told journalists. He said the order was being studied, “and we hope it will be resolved peacefully, without the interference ofothers, particularly the Americans.” U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he did not expect Baghdad to resist the order. “If they refused to destroy the weapons, the Security Council will have to make a decision,” Annan told reporters Sunday night in Turkey. “I don’t see why they would not destroy them.” Hussein, meanwhile, was defiant about the U.S. threat of war. “Americans can harm and destroy buildings and installations, but will never be able to humiliate Iraq,” he was quoted as saying by the official Iraqi News Agency. “The people of Iraq are not defending only Iraq, but the whole Arab nation and its security.”

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS From staff reports
Wisnewski hopes to promote more cooperation among student groups This is the first story in a five-part series examining the races for Duke Student Government executive positions. By KAREN HAUPTMAN and CHRISTINA NG The Chronicle
Although Andrew Wisnewski is running unopposed for vice president for community interaction and may appear to have the least-pressured campaign of this year’s Duke Student Government executive elections, the lack of competition actually presents a different sort of challenge for him. “It seems like it’s a real benefit, but I see it as a form of pressure,” Wisnewski said. “Next year, I y*V will have to continuy/ ously prove my legitimacy as the best £ 11, candidate. My projects will always be under scrutiny, but knowing that, I’ll make a further effort.” The sophomore from Worcester, Mass., who plans to major in public policy studies, hopes to promote more events that are co-sponsored by a range of different student groups. To that end, he plans to expand current projects such as Relay for Life, a weekend walking marathon to raise funds for cancer research that is sponsored by a number of student organizations. “I want to continue this collaborative effort between student organizations and student sponsorship of events,” he said. Wisnewski also looks to improve student interactions with Durham by creating public forums that stimulate a sense of connection with the city. He additionally hopes to establish a stronger relationship between undergraduate and graduate students through mentorship, advising and re-
search collaboration. Thaniyyah Ahmad, current DSG

Wisnewski, who has been a member of the community interaction committee for the past two years, wants to use this year’s successful group dynamics as his model. “We have a good committee [this year],” Wisnewski said. “I want to establish a sense of work and a sense of friendship on my own committee as well.”

North Korean policies test U.S.-Asian alliances By HOWARD FRENCH
don’t understand why he seems to trust North Korea
New York Times News Service
With little of the clamor SEOUL, South Korea generated by preparations for war with Iraq, the showdown between the United States and North Korea over that country’s nuclear weapons program is severely testing Washington’s oldest Asian alliances. In recent weeks, senior officials in officially pacifist Japan have spoken of mounting a “pre-emptive strike” against North Korea, if it appeared that the heavily
so completely.”
While Japan looks nervously at North Korea and is beginning to explore ways to augment its alliance with the U. S., South Koreans and experts in this country’s affairs are increasingly contemplating the end of the five-decade-old alliance between the countries with 37,000 US. troops on the front lines here. “The Japanese are on the spot because the US. alliance with South Korea is defunct, and there is no armed communist state intended to use its ballistic point in insisting on it any more,” said Robyn Lim, a remissiles against Japan. gional security expert at Nanzan University in Japan. “Our nation will use military force as a self-defense “The US. alliance with Japan is integrally linked measure ifthey start to resort to arms against Japan,” with the US. alliance with South Korea. Indeed, since said Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba. the Korean War, the American presence in South For many Japanese commentators, Ishiba’s state- Korea has been as much about protecting Japan as it ment was meant to draw attention to the fact that was about South Korea.” Japan in reality has no strike capability. More than as a credible threat against North Korea, it was intended to influence a debate that has gathered momentum during the administration of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi over giving the country’s armed forces, which face sharp constitutional limits on their action, a larger role in the country’s defense, and in making Japan a player in international security again. When Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived MonEXPERIENCE THE day for the inauguration of Roh Moo-hyun as president of South Korea, he tried to narrow differences with a man whose response to tensions with North Korea has been virtually the opposite of Japan’s and, if anything, even more radical. Roh has given strong indications that he intends to accelerate South Korea’s embrace ofNorth Korea, even as the U. S. looks for ways to ratchet up pressure on North Korea. To the dismay of Washington, Roh has spoken in recent weeks of establishing an economic community with North Korea, stepping up trade, aid and investment there, ruling out economic sanctions and military strikes against the country and even of personally “guaranteeing” North Korea’s security.
The president-elect said he would replace the current armistice agreement with a treaty between the Koreas in order to ensure peace on the Korean Peninsula. “It is better to struggle than to suffer deaths in a war,” Roh said in a speech to the Federation of Korean Trade Unions. “Koreans should stand together, although things will get difficult when the United States bosses us around.” A senior diplomat from South Korean commented: “It looks like Rob is prepared to throw the alliance away and make common cause with North Korea. We
Increasingly, the U. S. is on the spot in South Korea, as well. Roh, a liberal labor lawyer with almost no international experience, began appointing relatively conservative aides to his national security team Sunday, in what appeared to be a bid to reassure Washington. He has also distanced himself from the anti-American protests that occurred here throughout the December electoral campaign. Most importantly, after campaigning for a “more equitable” alliance with the U. S., he has said he sees a place for U.S. troops in this country, even after the two Koreas are united. There are already clear signs of deep distrust of Roh within the Bush administration. U.S. military officials here say plans are being drawn up to remove thousands of U.S. troops from positions along the demilitarized zone between South and North Korea and to close the headquarters of U.S. forces in Korea at Yongsan.

JESICA from page 1 CT scan did not reveal any irreversible brain damage, maintaining Jesica’s eligibility for organ transplantation. Kurt Dixon, an attorney recently hired by family friend Mack Mahoney, told the press Saturday the Santillans are grieving and declining interviews for the time being. “Jesica’s family and the family of Mack Mahoney are devastated by these turns of events,” he said. Dixon indicated the family is considering a lawsuit but declined to say anything specific. An autopsy is planned for Monday, said Dixon. “We just want to make sure we know what the cause of death was,” Dixon told the Associated Press Sunday. “If there's going to be legal action down the road, you want to have a definite cause of death. You don't want to speculate about that.” Controversy has arisen over whether the family had given the Hospital permission to remove Jesica from life support. The family had initially requested a second opinion on the girl’s condition from outside the Hospital, but Dr. Karen Frush, assistant clinical professor of medicine and chief director of children’s emergency services at the Medical Center, informed them that was not an option by state law. “All requests by the family, such as second opinion or continuation of ventilator and medication support, were not options in the setting of death,” Frush said in a statement released late Sunday. Despite their reported hopes that Jesica’s case would publicize the need for organ donations, the family refused to allow Jesica’s own organs to be donated, Frush explained in the statement. Jesica had suffered from health problems almost since birth. While living in Mexico, her birthplace and home for 14 years, she had been diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy, characterized by an enlarged heart that impressed on her lungs. With little chance for a needed heart-lung transplant in Mexico, the Santillan family illegally immigrated to the U.S. three years ago,

specifically seeking out Durham and Duke Hospital. Jesica was officially placed on the transplant list for a heart and lungs in May 2002, when her condition had deteriorated to the point when only new organs would save her. Feb. 6of this year, her family was notitled that organs had become available, and they were transplanted into her the next day. It was revealed later that the type-A organs were mistakenly transplanted into the girl, who had type-Opositive blood—an eventually fatal mismatch. In a candle-light vigil Sunday night, a somber crowd of about 60 mourners gathered across from
Duke Hospital to share grief with the Santillan family.
Children passed out flowers, candles and white balloons as the crowd prayed in Spanish and held signs high for the gathering press. “Jesica is an example of courage and valor,” said one sign in Spanish, The vigil was principally organized by the Association of Mexicans in North Carolina, to demonstrate their support. “The reason we’re here is to show solidarity with the family and the community, said organizer Gloria Sanchez. “This is such a terrible mistake. We don’t want this to happen to anyone ever again—not just Mexican, but anyone.”

The advantage here should lay with Duke, as Maryland will have trouble stopping the Blue Devil’s post attack. Tillis scored a team high 19 points in the teams’ first contest and should be able to repeat that productivity. Also, Mistie Bass should be able to muscle Maryland en route to a big game. Maryland’s strength is in its backcourt, and it all starts with Razor. She leads the team in points and steals and is second in rebounds. Should Beard contain her, the rest of the Terrapins will not hurt the Blue Devils too badly. Look for Krapohl and Harding to continue their recent torrid play.
THE NOD
m
Duke usually goes much deeper than its opponents, but Maryland has eight players who play over 19 minutes a game. In addition, Sheana Mosch has been playing very well lately off the bench and Duke’s bench should outscore Maryland’s considerably given their recent scoring totals. It is Senior Night for the Terrapins in College Park, Md., so Razor and Daniels will be extra motivated to avenge the 49point loss in the first game. Pushing the Blue Devils will be their desire to extend their ACC winning streak of 37 games Also, Duke is 32-0 on Mondays over the last five years.

Blue Devils win, send Wolf
DAHNTAY JONES comes down from the hoop after another one of his monster dunks during Duke’s 79-68 win over N.C. State at Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday afternoon
Duke dominates avenges Jan. 22 loss to N.C. State ,
By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle
In a game that saw several second-half runs from North Carolina State, Duke was finally able to put away its intrastate rival behind a solid performance from sophomore guard Daniel Ewing, whose 18 points were one shy of his career high set earlier this season against Georgetown. With the Blue Devils’ lead cut to just nine points with 5:40 remaining in the game, Ewing took a feed from center Casey Sanders, slashed through sever-
al Wolfpack defenders and converted a contested layup to give Duke (19-4 overall, 9-4 in the ACC) a 68-57 lead. “I thought Daniel played one of his best games,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “It seemed that when the lead was 11 or 10 points, Daniel came up a couple times with threepoint plays. He just played really well, much, much better than the last couple of weeks.”
N.C. State (14-9, 7-5) would never again slice the deficit to single digits, as Duke rolled to a 79-68 victory Saturday in Cameron Indoor Stadium despite being outscored 41-35 in the second half. The Wolfpack’s late surges were not enough to overcome Duke’s dominance in the first stanza. The Blue Devils took advantage of a technical foul on N.C. State’s Julius Hodge—who was called for elbowing Dahntay Jones after the Duke senior attempted a steal—just 5:33 into the
game. J.J. Redick converted the two free throws to start a 12-0 Duke run, leading to an early 20-9 advantage. During the Wolfpack’s scoring drought, the Blue Devils turned three steals into easy baskets on the other end, including two highlight-reel, onehanded dunks by Jones, good for four of his game-high 19 points. Duke forced 16 turnovers in the first half alone and 24 overall, leading to 31 points. The 24 giveaways marked a season high for the Wolfpack, whose previous mark had been 21 at Maryland. “Clearly the turnovers were our demise,” N.C. State head coach Herb Sendek said. “Not only did they prevent us from scoring, but they led to baskets that were in large part indefensible down on the other end. Certainly you have to credit Duke’s pressure with a great deal of that.” After having no points off fast breaks in its game against Maryland, Duke focused from the outset on using its defensive prowess to generate easy opportunities on the offensive end. “[Defense] was our point of emphasis in today’s game,” said junior tricaptain Chris Duhon, who has 12 assists to only one turnover in his last 114 minutes of play. “They have a very efficient offense, so we just wanted to speed them up a little bit, get in passing lanes to where they couldn’t make sure passes and try to create offense from defense. We did a pretty good job of that today.” The Blue Devils’ stingy defense
helped them enter the locker room with a commanding 44-27 halftime lead. They held N.C. State’s leading scorer Julius Hodge—who averages 18.2points per game—to just four in the first half. However, the Wolfpack came out firing on both ends of the floor in the second period, stripping forward Shelden Williams on the first play and opening with a 9-0 run to cut Duke’s lead to 4436. During the two-minute span, Hodge’s five points bettered his total
from the entire first half. “As well as we played in the first half is as poorly as we played at the start of the second half,” Krzyzewski said. “We just gave them a lot of momentum at the start of the half. They were in it the whole way.” Duke was able to counter the Wolfpack attack, with Ewing again playing a leading role. The Missouri City, Texas, native was fouled hard by Clifford Crawford as he drove to the basket with the shot clock winding down. He sank his two shots from the charity stripe to return the Blue Devil’s lead to double digits. A string of subsequent baskets by
Duhon, Jones and Ewing, as well as perfect free-throw shooting from freshmen Sean Dockery and Shavlik Ran-
dolph, gave Duke a 58-40 advantage. “[Our comeback] shows that we are growing as a team and can deal with adversity,” Redick said. “A month ago, I don’t know if we would’ve made that run in response like we did today.” Duke’s win helped avenge its 80-71
loss Jan. 22 to the Wolfpack and helped to prove that the team has learned from its early season struggles. “We’re better right now. The team that played a month ago against Maryland and N.C. State is not the same team, individually or collectively, and that’s good,” Krzyzewski said. “Hopefully in the next month we will show similar improvement. That’s been our goal the whole year, just to keep getting better, and we are getting better.”

No. 1 Blue Devils lose Ist match of season After waltzing past No. 19 Notre Dame Friday, women’s tennis slips at No. 49 Illinois By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle
4 The last time the women’s tennis team 3 traveled to the MidDuke west, they were riding high, taking the National Indoor Championships in Madison, Wis., and subsequently their first ever No. 1 ranking two weeks ago. But after dismantling No. 19 Notre Dame 5-2 in South Bend, Ind., it was all downhill Amanda Johnson lost match point on serve and fell in a tiebreak as Duke suffered a shocking 4-3 loss to 49thranked Illinois yesterday, making for a
Illinois
somber ride back down south. The Blue Devils took the doubles point on Sunday as they did earlier in the weekend, but four singles losses to a confident Illini squad sent Duke packing and is sure to send them down in the national rankings; No. 2 Florida beat Florida State Wednesday and looks to leapfrog the wallowing Blue Devils this week. “We played really defensive, even in the matches we won,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said of Sunday’s pratfall. “We were more talented, and that’s why we won some matches, but instead of playing aggressive we were playing defense the whole time.” . Leading 3-2 with only two singles matches remaining, Duke looked in control with Katie Granson up a set over Illinois’ Eldina Fazlic. But Granson ran out of gas as Fazlic set the stage for a game-deciding match with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 upset. After falling behind and losing the
first set to Illinois junior Jennifer McGafflgan 6-2, Johnson swung the momentum back Duke’s way with a 6-4 win in the second set and an upset in
the balance.
And after Johnson, ranked 15th nationally, broke No. 41 McGaffigan’s serve to go up 6-5 in the third and control her own destiny, it looked as if the Blue Devils would escape with an exhausting close call. But the crowd pushed McGaffigan on against a weary Johnson, breaking back her serve and forcing a critical tie-breaker. The Illini ace would never look back, jumping out to a 5-1 advantage and taking the contest 6-2, 2-6, 76 (7-3). “Today was like boxing, where we’re the counter-puncher instead of being the puncher with the knock-out,” said Ashworth, who saw a lack of aggressiveness in his players as they played behind the baseline. Ashworth also added that his players had the defense of their ranking on their minds just a bit too much. The Blue Devils get to regroup before hosting Michigan Friday at 4 p.m. and Purdue Sunday at noon at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center.

Men’s tennis falls to California at ITA team indoors After topping Texas 4-3, Blue Devils lose to No. 1 UCLA, No. 4 Cal., finish 7th at tourney By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle California 4 This weekend, the Blue Devils found out Duke 3 for themselves why
PHILLIP KING won his singles and doubles matches against California in the ITA indoor championships
California colleges have long been known for their powerhouse tennis teams. Following Thursday’s 4-3 defeat of Texas, Duke faced No. 1 UCLA and No. 4 California in the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Louisville. The eighth-ranked Blue Devils (6-3) put up an early fight Saturday against Cal (7-1) in the tournament’s consolation backdraw, but failed to capitalize on a 3-0 advantage, losing the next four matches. Duke finished the weekend tied for seventh in the tournament. Duke won the doubles point with a hard-fought 9-8 (5) victory by top tandem Phillip King and Michael Yani, while Jonathan Stokke and Jason Zimmerman handed Cal’s duo of Patrick Briaud and Balazs Veress theirfirst loss of the season. King then went on to defeat Veress in singles, 6-1, 6-2. A win at the three spot by freshman Ludovic Walter put the Blue Devils within one match of upsetting the Golden Bears. “In my first match against Texas, I was not going after my shot,” the Vannes, France native said. “I was pushing the ball. The last match[against Cal], I played my game. I came in and hit the ball hard.” Cal came back by winning straight sets matches at the No. 2 and No. 6 spots when the team’s top player Conor Niland defeated Yani, 6-2, 6-2, and Wayne Wong followed with a 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over
Peter Shults. The momentum remained with Cal as Steve Berke overcame a first set loss by taking the next two, 3-6,6-1,62, over Stokke. With the teams tied at three apiece, all eyes were on the match between Zimmerman and Cal’s Robert Kowalczyk. Zimmerman lost the first set tiebreaker 7-6 (7), but won the second set breaker 7-6 (5). Kowalczyk’s experience led him to claim the match, as the senior only dropped one game in the final set, allowing Cal to avenge last year’s second round loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament. “We had a lot ofclose matches,” Walter said. ‘We are not far from the top teams. We just have to keep going hard.” Duke entered Saturday’s match coming off a 4-1 quarterfinal loss to UCLA (11-1), the nations top-ranked team, Friday. The Bruins won the doubles point, pulling off two 9-7 victories at the two and three spots. In singles play, the Bruins jumped to a 3-0 lead in the match with Duke losses by Stokke and Yarn. Walter then took a three-setter, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, for the Blue Devils’ only win of the day. Bruin sophomore Alberto Francis clinched the victory for his school with a three-set victory over Shults.

trol of the game. The Blue Devils knocked off Virginia Tech Friday by a score of 162 and defeated the University of Maryland-Baltimore County Sunday 17-4 on the West Campus Turf Field. “I was extremely pleased with the overall effort we game this weekend,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “We were able to just turn it on and go really hard for 60 minutes.” In both matchups, Duke retained position of the ball in their half for the majority of the contest. The team took a large number of shots on goal, 44 against Virginia Tech and 53 on the UMBC’s net, showing their superiority over their op-

Women finish Bth at ACCs Led by freshman Katie Ness, the women’s swimming team broke several school records at the ACC championships. From staff reports Freshman Katie Ness broke three individual records and an all-freshman relay team toppled a 25-year-old school record as the women’s swimming team finished eighth at the ACC championships held over three days at the Koury Natatorium in Chapel Hill. Beginning Thursday Ness broke school record in the 100- and 200-meter backstrokes. The freshman began by breaking the 200 mark with a time of 2:00.06; she then shattered the school 100-meter mark, leading off the 400 medley relay, crushing the old time by over a second. The next day Ness continued, swimming to a Blue Devil record of 54.86 in the 100 butterfly. Saturday she came within 11-hundreths of a second of breaking the school’s 200 butterfly time. Both backstrokes are NCAA B-cut as well as Senior National qualifying times; however, Ness missed the cut in the 200 fly. All told, Ness finished second in the 100-meter backstroke, fourth in 100 and second in the 200 butterfly. However it was the 400-meter freestyle relay team of Nora Stupp, Alison Sundberg, Julia Lewis and Ness that finished fifth in the competition, qualified for Senior Nationals and tore apart a 25-year old school
record Saturday. The Blue Devils also got impressive performances from juniors Lauren Cornet, Lauren Hancock and Amy Halligan.
Comet qualified for the finals in both the 100 and 200 breastroke, while Hancock and Halligan both made the finals of the 100 and 200 butterflys. Virginia won the meet with 710 points—lol more than its next closest competitor, North Carolina. Those Blue Devils who qualified will now move on to the NCAA championships March 20-22 at Auburn. The men’s team, meanwhile, will compete in the ACC this weekend.

ca Santillan’s
transplant mix-up
February
7. 2003
The procuring team, including a Duke Hospital surgeon, travels to the hospital where the donor was located. The procuring surgeon examines the organs and judges them to be of good quality. He calls daggers and is directed to procure the heart and lungs. The organs are transported back to Duke Hospital following a delay due to bad weather.
While the organ procurement team is traveling, Jesica Santillan is admitted to Duke Hospital’s pediatric intensive care unit. Organ transplantation operation begins at about 4:50 p.m. Following implantation of the organs at about 10 p.m., the surgical team receives a call from Duke's Clinical Transplant Immunology Laboratory reporting the organs were incompatible with Jesica's blood type.
ORGANS from page 1 broke nationally to the time the second set of organs became available. Since an initial press report Feb. 17, the Hospital has repeatedly conceded its complicity in the fatal error, pointing especially to the failure of Associate Professor of Surgery Dr. James daggers—the surgeon for both of Jesica’s transplant operations—to confirm blood type match on the first transplant. “As Jesica’s surgeon I am ultimately responsible for the team and for this error,” said daggers in a statement Saturday, following Jesica’s death. “I personally told the Santillan family about the errors that were made and then tried to do everything medically possible to treat Jesica to try to save her life.” Further details surrounding the error were provided by the Hospital in a Friday letter to the United Network for Organ Sharing, the national database
that matches donated organs to potential recipients. Late Feb. 6, Carolina Donor Services, the regional transplant office, offered the organs to daggers for a Duke pediatric patient, based on a UNOS match. He declined because the patient was not ready for surgery, but then inquired about the organs’ availability for Jesica, identifying her by name and specifically asking about the status of the lungs. The CDS organ coordinator said he would check and call back. On the return call, the organs were offered to another Duke surgeon for an adult patient, who was rejected because of size incompatibility. The organs were then offered to daggers for desica, presumably without a UNOS match, daggers recalled a discussion of height, weight and cause of death, but not blood type. He previously indicated that he assumed CDS had confirmed a blood type match before offering the organs. The letter to UNOS admitted two er-

Hahm Chaibong is a professor in the Department of Political Science at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea where he has been teaching since 1992 He received a B.A. in economics from Carleton College and a Ph.D. in political science from the Johns Hopkins University. His research interest lies mainly in comparative political theory. He is the Director of the Comparative Cultural Studies Center, Institute of East and West Studies at Yonsei, and the editor-in-chief of Jontong gua Hyundae (Tradition and Modernity), a quarterly journal of contemporary thought which he founded in 1997.

An investigation of Duke Hospital by the North Carolina Division of Facility
rors on Jaggers’s part—making the assumption of blood type match and fail-
ing later to confirm this.
However, UNOS spokesperson Anne Paschke noted that Jaggers’s request for the organs represents a significant error. “That’s not policy,” she said. “Organs are supposed to be cleared through our organization first.” Paschke noted the error is not a common one. A UNOS statement released Thursday said Jesica’s name had never appeared on a match list for the organs, so she never should have been considered for the transplant. The organization plans to review the Hospital’s letter and may demand further explanation. Neither CDS nor Hospital officials were available for comment over the weekend. Meanwhile, the national accrediting body for hospitals has demanded a detailed report from the Hospital explaining the error, and the North Carolina Medical Board, which oversees doctors, has launched an inquiry.
Services is also ongoing. Although DFS spokesperson Jim Jones would not discuss details of the probe, he noted two teams were sent to the Hospital Thursday, in reaction to complaints related to the initial organ transplant. One team is investigating clinical laboratory issues and the other acute care; both will ensure compliance with Medicare regulations. The investigation will be very thorough, said Jones, noting the ensuing report would likely cover a desk several feet thick. “This stuff is not simple,” he said. Any negative results of the inquiry will be passed on to other state agencies for potential fines and federal agencies for more stringent punishments like removal of accreditation and the loss of eligibility to treat Medicare patients. Jones would not comment on the likelihood of any of these scenarios, though. “This may be as bad as a thing can get,” he said. “I don’t know.”

COLLISON from page 1
Collison described himself as an active leader not easily intimidated by administrators and open to student input. He cited his experiences as both a nongreek student and a fraternity member—he did not join ATO until his sophomore year—as well as his distance from DSG since serving as a freshman legislator as positive experiences that have allowed him to garner a variety of student perspectives. Craven Quad Treasurer Monique Bruinsma, who has been on the quad council for two years, said Collison would be an effective president if elected. “He is a very good moderator at all meetings and he makes sure opinions are heard.... Quad Council has been a lot better because of it,” she said. Collison stressed the demand for an ideological change within DSG, noting the need to distinguish between issues that should be handled by DSG and those that other groups such as Campus Council should address. With regard to recent proposals to alter how DSG elections are run or change the organization’s structure altogether, Collison said that he would wait until after the election to offer a specific proposal. “Right now there is not a cohesive student group working on student policy,” Collison said. “DSG has unbelievable potential that hasn’t been fulfilled. The organization is going to have to go through a lot of changes, but when you’re concerned about long-term viability... next year is going to be a sink-
try to include additional group meeting space, additional computing terminals, increased social venues, and alternative independent and selective housing. Creating dialogue has been one of Collison’s major goals since freshmen year, when he tried to elicit feedback from upperclassmen on courses they had taken. This experience led to the creation of EZDevil.com, an independent, online, course evaluation system that helped shape the current system, SAGES. Collison advised those working on SAGES and gathered student input on what they wanted the site to include. Since then, Collison has expanded his efforts to increase interaction not only among students but between the University and the broader Durham community. One of his projects is Rock-N-Wrap, a food recovery program that will eventually encourage all campus eateries to donate excess food to off-campus charities. In addition, Collison organized an ATO Halloween Carnival that hosted local children from the Boys and Girls Club in Durham. ATO President Tyler Smith lauded Collison’s ability to integrate social aspects of the fraternity with community service. “It takes a lot of effort to get 50 guys to participate in community service, but Taylor is very good with the brothers and helped make the event a success,” Smith said.

Evolving curriculum
In
response to the rapidly changing nature of global Christianity, a hiring blitz and the evolving role of divinity schools in shaping those who will become clergy in local churches and top scholars in Christian theology, the Divinity School is aiming to shake up its core curriculum for students. Given the mission that Dean Gregory Jones has set out for the school—namely, understanding a global concept of Christianity rather than a narrower Southern, Methodist framework —a new curriculum makes sense. In such programs as Black Church Studies, the school examines the similarities and differences between churches in North America and Africa and has recommitted resources to a program in South Africa and the Christian response to racial reconciliation. Likewise, the nature of Christianity in Asia, Africa and Europe and what North American Christianity can leam from their differences have become hot topics in Christian theology. Even in the United States, with an influx ofCatholic Latinos knowing how Christianity is practiced in Latin America is even more important. Indeed, as the Divinity School tries to make its mark as a center ofresearch and learning about truly global patterns and reconciliation of Christianity, the curriculum should duly emphasize those interests. Meanwhile, the profile of the typical Divinity student is changing. Many more students come into the Divinity School with less knowledge of the Bible than the average student 20 years ago. This diversity of experience is a good thing and likely contributes to a dynamic environment at the school, but also necessitates that more attention should be paid to making sure every student has a good knowledge base of both the Old and the New Testaments. The curriculum review committee, chaired by Divinity professor Richard Hays, seems to have a good idea of the balance it wants to strike with a new curriculum —traditional enough to provide a solid base of scriptural knowledge and avoid trendy fads in the field and broad enough to incorporate the international questions in Christian theology that have become easier to ask with increased global contact and communication as the University as a whole tries to enhance its presence in the world. At the same time, the Divinity School should take advantage of its current ties to the religion graduate program since Divinity and religion faculty teach religion graduate students. Perhaps a growing corps of non-Christian scholars in religion could bolster more course options or requirements for comparative understanding ofother religions or the points of contact and similarity among different religions such as Christianity and Islam. Appropriately, the curriculum review comes in the wake of a revision in Trinity College and an ongoing review of the Pratt School of Engineering undergraduate and School ofMedicine curriculums. All of the projects are welcome signs that the University is committed to a constant renewal and refreshment of the courses and programs it offers students. As the Divinity committee looks at its own offerings, it would do well to consult with leaders of past curriculum revisions across the school to discuss broad issues oflearning, classroom technology and the role of learning in the field.

Health self image encouraged The girl skims The Chronicle and turns to her friend as they rock slightly with the jostling of the East-West bus. “Can you believe this?” she asks. “The Chronicle says one fifth of Duke students struggle with some type of eating disorder. That’s ridiculous!” Her friend grimaces slightly and sighs, “I don’t even want to think about it. That’s just a scare tactic anyway.” Suddenly, the bus stops, and the girls walk down the steps, leaving their newspaper alone on the seat.
Miche Anderson Guest Commentary I heard this conversation a week ago, and the thought that ran through my head was, “Are you kidding me?” To me, The Chronicle simply told it like it is. As a freshman, the Duke experience is still somewhat new to me and my memories of the first days of school all the more vivid. As a graduate of a lowermiddle/middle-class public high school in a racially diverse area, I remained sheltered from the frightening reality of eating disorders before I attended Duke. Eating disorders and negative body image equated to urban legends and evoked gasps when we read the Seventeen exclusive “I weighed 90 pounds.” Words like “anorexia,” “bulimia” and “exercise-bulimia” only appeared in health textbooks, staying far from our daily vernacular. Thin was in, but so was being “thick,” and body image issues remained foreign to girls who flaunted their athleticism and their individuality. Duke is an aesthetically pleasing campus, and I am not merely referring to the Gothic elegance it provides. The Bryan Center Walkway doubles as a runway at times, and creates an elevated standard of beauty. While this certainly has its advantages, this skewed sense of reality can feed the existing flames of self-criticism, self-doubt and, inevitably, an obsession with one’s body. At times, I have found myself questioning my place in this uniformly attractive, intelligent and focused group of people. As someone who refuses to buy fashion magazines and spurns the typical “fro-yo and Diet Coke” regime so many male and female Blue Devils swear by, I have, at times, buckled under pressure to maintain a certain physicality and fought feelings of inferiority in a community where the way you look often defines your perceived worth. America is a country where, although obesity is on the rise, images of painfully thin actors and models are looked to as the norm. Duke students mimic these images and match their slightness with Burberry scarves and Louis Vuitton handbags. Girls and guys alike flock to the gym, sculpting and toning their bodies
to tight, metabolically efficient machines, and
On
the fear of ostracism manifests contempt for one’s “flawed” exterior. Many would argue that the concern Duke students show for their appearance is healthy. I agree. In general, I see more active, health-conscious people at Duke and many of them are able to leave their minor dissatisfaction with their bodies at just that. However, for those who don’t fall in this shrinking bracket, healthy habits can take a dangerous turn, especially in a community which bounds with overachievers and perfectionists. The stresses of school work, social groups, relationships and other various problems abound and students are confronted with issues they have no choice but to cope with. Some self-medicate with drugs and alcohol, some are manacled with depression. And others turn to starvation, binging, purging or over-exercising. In a place and time where nearly everyone is image-conscious, success and beauty are nearly synonymous with thin and fit. The statistics, however, are not so glamorous. Anorexia is the most deadly psychological illness, with nearly 20 percent of anorexics dying from related causes. Yet we continue to stigmatize it. Men with eating or exercise issues are silenced by the fear of revealing what America typifies as
“women’s illnesses.” Girls come to school only to be sent home weak, depressed and emaciated. Yet, no one says a word. As of today, I refuse to remain silent. Today marks the beginning of Duke’s Celebrate Our Bodies Week, a week in which ESTEEM and other Healthy Devil Peer Educators challenge the Duke community to embrace themselves and each other for who they are, regardless of their physical attributes. This is a week to explore and define your own self-image, while rebuking the mass-media’s artificial and contrived images of beauty. Find comfort in knowing that you are perfectly imperfect, that girls have hips, guys have love handles and some of us have a little bit of everything. Go to the gym and, instead of thinking how it can change your body, thank your body for being strong and able. Be aware of self-criticism and counter these thoughts with unconditional selfacceptance. Ask yourself if you are perpetuating or eliminating the mentality that we must adhere to reach impossible physical ideals. Change the statistics. Remember this but, most of all, don’t abuse your body, but respect it for what it is, what it does and how the differences that can make us mistreat ourselves also make us the unique people that brought us to Duke in the first place.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2003 »PAGE 15
Why I love the press I love the press. Oh sure, it’s biased, relies on sensational muckraking, and produces a lot of crap. But when a good story comes out, nailing some crook with cold hard evidence—man that’s great. Not that these moments excuse the press for the status quo, but they reveal the enormous and particular good that well-done investigative journalism can serve. The press is also one of our only
cultural and political through mediums which we can hold sustained conversations
Fnalkb 5
The Critical among many people. Articles, followed by editorials and letters to the editor, enable a mass ofpeople to witness and contemplate an unfolding conversation. This conversation is, of
course, often impoverished; and that the press is one of our best sources of conversation serves as a further indication of the poverty of ongoing communal
debates
in
our
times.
Nevertheless, we deal with what we have, and what we had last week were two of the best Duke exposes I have ever witnessed. First, consider the case of Sami AlArian, the father of Abdullah Al-Arian, Trinity ’O2, who was recently arrested for his alleged role in militant Islamic
terrorist conspiracies. Reports The Washington Post last Thursday; “The Justice Department today accused a former university professor in Florida of conspiracy to murder more than 100 Israelis and Americans in overseas suicide attacks and said he has secretly been a top leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization for
years.” Al-Arian’s indictment, which listed 50 counts, was based on a slew of evidence, including telephone calls and faxes between him and supposed leaders of the violent terrorist organization, Palestinian Islamic Jihad. For many this news came as no surprise. As The Weekly Standard had reported back in Oct. 2001, Al-Arian had actually hosted public pep rallies for Islamic Jihad founder Abdel AzizOdeh and Sheikh Abdul Rahman, the chief planner of the first World Trade Center bombing. Film from one of those rallies documents Al-Arian shouting, “Jihad is our path! Victory to Islam! Death to Israel! Revolution! Revolution until victory! Rolling into Jerusalem!” However, last year when Duke alumnus Jeff Greene wrote a letter, which The Chronicle printed, pointing out Sami Al-Arian’s publicly known links to terrorist organizations, he was roundly denounced by subseThe quent letters. Eventually, Chronicle issued a public apology, dripping with politically-correct self-flagellation, which concluded that, “The Chronicle fell down on the job. For example, there is no evidence that Abdullah Al-Arian’s father, Sami AlArian, heads a known Hamas front.” Greene wrote a subsequent letter protesting this apology and asked for a retraction, citing additional evidence in support ofhis well-grounded claims. The Chronicle never issued a retraction, and Greene was pegged as a dishonest person with anti-Arab prejudices. With the latest news, however, it now appears that The Chronicle’s apology itself lacked firm ground; there is, in fact, substantial evidence of Al-
Arian’s relationship with terrorist groups, enough evidence to compile a
50 count indictment. The courts will ultimately determine precisely how robust this evidence is, but if one thing is certain, Jeff Greene has been effectively vindicated and Al-Arian’s attempts at indignantly dismissing his critics appear more disingenuous. The second irony of this turn of events is that Sami Al-Arian spoke at Duke last year, and, if convicted, this will mean that Laura Whitehorn is not the first terrorist to lecture on campus. The Chronicle’s mistake, though provoked by politically-correct hysteria, may have been honest. However, the other Duke story of last week has nothing whatsoever to do with honesty. On the same day that President Nan Keohane went in front of the Academic Council to present findings of the
tration’s assurance that there were no quid pro quo arrangements was about as transparent a lie as one is likely to see in print. One Duke parent, admitting that her daughter may have taken
the place of a truly qualified applicant able to accomplish more extraordinary service to mankind, assured the Wall Street Journal that she is not losing sleep over it. She was just happy. What was even more perverse was the fact that Nan pointed to such privileged admissions, which have flourished under her presidency, as a case for more affirmative action preferences. That is to say that rather than undo what many would call unjust and corrupt preferences for wealth, she thinks we need to construct further layers of unjust preferences. What is that sayGender Initiative, which supposedly ing about two wrongs and a right? aims to makes Duke a more equitable Suppose you are poor, white and not place, The Wall Street Journal ran a from an underrepresented Midwestern incredible article detailing the way Duke state? Then, I suppose, you just have to admissions works for students withrich be really smart. Hmm—academic parents. Duke University’s admissions merit as a criterion for university office statistics suggest that 3 to 5 peradmission! What a bizarre idea; good cent of the student body were probably thing it doesn’t apply across the board. As I said, the press isn’t always on, uncomfortable with this article, because it implied that 3 to 5 percent of students but when it is, boy can it turn the bought their way into Duke. What was tables—and that generally entails putmost shocking, as the details emerged, ting dishonest people in a very awkwas the degree to which Duke adminisward position. Duke’s admission policy trators and benefiting parents, far from of selling spaces to the rich is a wonbeing uncomfortable, found nothing derfully ironic reality for an institution that bathes itself in disingenuous wrong with the situation. In the article, Duke admitted that, platitudes about equality and the particularly in recent years, it relaxed importance of intellect. How refreshits admissions standards to admit 100 ing too, that the final record on Alto 125 students annually “as a result of Arian may be set straight, and years of family wealth or connections.” These politically-correct-incubated deception put to rest. Isn’t the press great? statistics do not include alumni children, and represent students who were Bill English is a Trinity senior. His colrejected or waitlisted through the regular admissions process. The adminisumn appears every other Monday.
THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE takes on politics The “Love @ Duke” Recess headline was a monumental event this month, not because it is symptomatic of epidemic that has infiltrated the Internet-induced our society. Rather, with its juxtaposition to beer bottle caps, the headline resigns itself to the self-evidence of the fact that “love” is really just a euphemism for “alcohol” on this campus. The two entities have long vied for preeminence as sexual lubricants in society, but the latter has clearly won out here at Duke, reducing “love” to another word for alcohol that makes us seem not quite so pathetic when we discuss our sexual encounters. While “love” obviously also has its own merits, completely independent of sex, it was Tl-TPO irulLJ unfortunately not discussed in the HUXTABLE’S about the thing poll. The interesting article is aaaaaaaaaaaaah oh my gosh PROTEGE it’s two smirking Bill Englishes! Geez, 7—— 0,1 51 ’ 0 what horror! I know I selected the picture, but still, what a harrowing sight. What was I thinking? I guess initially my dream was to visually outwasp the queen wasp himself. So I pondered, what’s waspier than a snow-white male whose name is William Edward English trampling on feminism, diversity, acceptance of homosexuals and anything else , he doesn’t think is conservative, with his hair parted exactly, with the “conservative smirk” so thickly on his face that he makes John Zimmerman look like he isn’t smirking? With the name William Edward English? Well the answer turned out to be nothing. So I just went with the same smirking photo of Bill English. Anyway, since we do have his photo in the head of this column, Sy-(Snootles)-and-the-Ramblin(Root-Beer)-Gnome thought it necessary to provide a Bill English column, so here is an abridged version: “1) I attended an event put on by someone I consider a feminist. It was terrible. It was a waste of my money. Therefore, feminism is terrible, with no possible justification whatsoever. 2) I discovered that Duke is using my —

tuition money to pay for something I disagree with. I could use this money to go on another trip to Europe. Therefore, feminism is terrible, with no possible justification whatsoever. 3) Due to my dislike of liberalism, I am unable to listen to any theories propounded by people I think are liberal. I am able, though, to rip those theories in print, despite not understanding them. 4) I have reduced everything in this world to the binary liberal-conservative distinction. Anything unsound that anyone says that I think is a liberal automatically disproves every argument any liberal has ever said. I don’t like anything liberal, I have decided. 5) I have no idea what I’m for. I just know what I’m against, liberalism, anything that uses my money for something that is liberal and also feminism, which is terrible, with no justification whatsoever.” Ah, yes. Only English can combine quite reasonable,
intelligent and important analysis with stunning leaps in logic in such a jaw-dropping way, while he sits there, smirking away at us (New Sense has material somewhat similar to English’s, but without the reasonable, intelligent part). Actually, English is quite a nice guy, but it would piss everyone off to learn that, because people enjoy hating him. It would also piss people off to know that he isn’t a racist bigot. But I won’t prevent his enemies from thinking this, because then they couldn’t condemn everything he says without having to think about it, which would screw everything up. We wouldn’t want to have any actual exchange of ideas between opposing viewpoints that educate both sides, or educate anyone for that matter. Far better to fire off snide, smirking, slanted assaults that benefit no one. The fact ofthe matter is, though, that “liberals” need English so they can tell themselves that they are at a “conservative” campus, which they like to think, much in the way English indulges in the fact that he is at a “liberal” campus. They also both need each other to work up their vehement venomous abhorrence, which seems essential to their existences, much like the green mathmos in the 1968 flick “Barbarella,” which starred Jane Fonda searching for Duran Duran. To be fair to English, THEODORE
HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE will also provide a sample column by self-described liberals on campus, who, while they may disagree with self-described conservative columnists, employ their favorite rhetorical tools. “1) I talked to a poor person today and they said they
were poor. In my opinion, this is wrong! 2) Although I have no idea how to prevent war or what we should do about our current international situation, I would like to condemn a potential war without addressing any of these issues. 3) Capitalism is bad, not that I have any idea how economic systems work or which one would be better. 4) I am taking a class with only two African-American students in it. Therefore, Duke is racist! 5) Globalization is bad because, although there is compelling empirical and theoretical evidence indicating it can improve the lives ofpoor people all over the world, the U.S. benefits from it, which means it
must be bad.” It is this invigorating system of campus discussion that trashes Nan Keohane for being both liberal and conservative every week. It is difficult to say whether such columns, were written by “conservatives” or “liberals” to explain intelligently and sympathetically some issues other people might not have considered or whether they are just masturbatory indulgences written to get off on pissing off one’s enemies. The Chronicle, meanwhile, publishes it all willingly, knowing full well how much people read things that piss them off (it would be difficult to say what percentage of New Sense’s readership is people who hate New Sense and everyone writing within it, but I would say it’s 80 percent at the least). Why dp you think they keep tossing out columns by Faran Krentcil? THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE thinks that, the above text notwithstanding, Chronicle columns are getting better, and all columnists, and activists, deserve a ton of respect for actually doing something about things they care about, much as the Duke band deserves respect for playing “Soul-Finger” by the Bar-Kays and the Pizza Palace deserves respect for throwing down “Revolution #9
