A&S predicts Board mulls flat growth in future

strategic plan funding By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Facing increasing economic pressures and slumping income from investments, the Board ofTrustees may cut or postpone up to 10 percent of the funding for the University’s long-range strategic plan at this weekend’s Board meeting, administrators said this week “Building on Excellence,” a five-year map for the University’s academic priorities and initiatives, was passed by the Board two years ago and came with a price-tag of $727.1 million in a time of heady economic activity. With the nation’s economy now in a two-year slump, Provost Peter Lange and Executive Vice President Tailman Trask will jointly lead a presentation on the plan’s financial options at the Trustees’ retreat in WinstonSalem’s Graylin Conference Center.

Wang hopes to rid DSG of ‘inefficiency, ineffectiveness’ This is the fifth story in a five-part series profiling this year’s candidates for Duke Student Government president. By MARGAUX KANIS and JODI SAROWITZ The Chronicle

More than likely, Shaomeng Wang has let your Craven Quadrangle friends into their locked rooms at three o’clock in the morning. Now, the two-year residential adviser and Duke Student Government presidential hopeful thinks he has the key to fixing the campus’ primary governing body. /V / Although he has only one y S year of experience as a legislator in DSG’s academic affairs committee, Wang said he is capable of serving as president and cited a need for structural change in the organization. “In my first year in DSG, I’ve seen how it operates; I’ve seen its weaknesses,” the junior said. “I thought the things we do in DSG don’t mean anything. We give opinion, but no physical things are being done by DSG.” Wang, a biomedical engineering and economics double major from Elko, Nev, said he plans to legitimize DSG’s existence by leading the organization beyond words and into serious action.

“I’m an engineer. I’m a problem solver,” he said. “DSG currently has problems of inefficiency and ineffectiveness, and I hope to bring my logical problemsolving skills to the table in DSG.” Wang said he decided to run after discussing the shortcomings of DSG with current president Joshua Jean-Baptiste. Despite DSG’s inefficiencies, Wang said, the organization has initiated discussion on possible internal changes—such as Jean-Baptiste’s restructuring proposal—which he hopes to see to fruition if elected. “The executive] board should be more cohesive and not necessarily free from differing opinion but free from dissent from personal tiffs,” Wang said of the plan, which would create a ticket format for electing

top officials. In addition to making the executive board more cohesive, Wang said he hopes to expand DSG’s role with student groups. “Smaller organizations may need the manpower and organization of DSG* he said. *|ln addition to appropriating funds,] DSG should have a more proactive role in planning .and funding:.....

Counterterrorism officials had noted intelligence information pointing toward a possible attack around the time of the holiday, which is in early and mid-February. Other, unspecified intelligence suggested that the threat of imminent attack has abated to a degree, officials said. The two Cabinet secretaries said that lowering the alert status “is only an indication that some of the extra protective measures enacted by government and the private sector may be reduced at this time.” A yellow, or elevated, alert is the third-highest alert on a five-step scale. It means intelligence suggests a significant risk of terrorist attacks. The orange alert is a step higher and means there is a high risk of an attack. The highest alert level, never activated since the system was instituted last year, is red.

In Washington, senior Bush administration officials claimed that an intense lobbying campaign was making progress toward securing nine of the 15 Security Council votes for the U.S, British and Spanish resolution that would provide U.N. backing for the commencement of military action. President George W. Bush telephoned President Vladimir Putin of Russia Thursday and made the case for war in a 17-minute conversation. “Putin said, ‘Our feeling is that we should give the inspectors more time,”’ a senior administration official recounted. Bush said he disagreed. The official said that Putin replied, “We’ll think about it.”

The report, to be delivered to the Security Council Friday, appeared to offer some support for the Bush administration’s claim that Saddam Hussein is not serious about disarming. At the same time, Iraq’s decision to destroy more than 120 Samoud II surface-to-surface missiles as the Saturday deadline approached indicated that Saddam Hussein was trying to head off a military assault by the United States and its allies. The British ambassador to the United Nations, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, was said by diplomats to have disclosed fresh intelligence in Thursday’s closed council session that Iraq continued to manufacture poison nerve gases and mustard gas.

Sophomores vie for Student Affairs spot This is the fifth story in a five-part series examining the races for Duke Student Government executive positions.

Vice President

By MATT BRADLEY and WILL ROSENTHAL

Elizabeth Dixon

The Chronicle

It’s no surprise that the Duke Student Government race to watch this year will be the bid for the influential vice president for student affairs seat. Sophomores Elizabeth Dixon and Mimi Wachendorf represent two different tracks of ascenyV sion within Duke’s yr student bureaucracy. Dixon began her yr DSG career this year as director of JFiP student services in President Joshua Jean-Baptiste’s cabinet, while Wachendorf took a more conventional route, serving as a legislator on the Student Affairs Committee during her freshman and sophomore years. “I think both of them have a different perspective and have held different roles in the organization,” said senior Troy Clair, current vice president for student affairs. Despite their varied leadership paths within DSG, the candidates articulated similar visions for next year’s student affairs agenda, Wachendorf plans to concentrate on her “Three-Fold Platform:” policy issues such as the annual review process; student services such as the health center and Counseling and Psychological Services and the “small battles” that will arise during the course of next year. Dixon cited the same problem areas, especially in student services, and added that communication between students and DSG needs to be expanded. “I found a great deficit of interest in

student communication and student contact,” Dixon said. “I almost felt that DSG routinely neglected its obligation to students.” To address this deficit, Dixon said she

Tune,

Four months before current Board of Trustees Chair Harold “Spike” Yoh will retire, the Trustees will likely pick his successor at their meeting this weekend. Yoh will step down in July after three years of directing the Trustees, and speculation has focused upon vice chair and Campaign for Duke co-chair Peter Nicholas as a leading contender to take the reins. Robert Steel, also a vice chair, has also been discussed as a potential chair. “[Nicholas] would certainly be a strong possibility” said Nan Keohane in an interview last month. “We don’t know until the Board votes. He’s been a very effective vice chair. He’d certainly be a possibility. But we don’t have a formal assumption that the vice chair succeeds the chair. Although it often happens, it doesn’t always happen. So that’s one of the things we have to decide.” In addition, the 35-member Board will discuss who will serve as vice chair and of the Board’s various committees. “They will be talking about it,” said Allison Haltom, vice president and University secretary, who handles much of the planning and organization for the Board. “The actual election takes place at the May Board meeting. But that is certainly on the agenda to discuss.”

But Yoh said everything will be voted on in this weekend’s meeting and every-

thing will be in place. “We want to do it early enough, because although it doesn’t stray until July, the important thing is to stay ahead of the power curve,” said Yoh, who would not speculate on who would succeed him, however. “It depends on what the Board deSee NICHOLAS on page 10

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

Edwards says Bush out of touch with American people Senator John Edwards, D-N.C., rallied supporters on a visit to Manchester, N.H., blasting President George W. Bush’s domestic policies. Edwards is campaigning against seven other contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. Edwards compared the current political climate to the tenure of President George H. W. Bush, in which the president, riding a wave of popularity due to his victory against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, was defeated by a Democratic candidate due in part to a poor domestic economy.

“The scenario looks familiar, doesn’t it?” Edwards said Wednesday during his first visit to the earliest primary state since he declared his candidacy in

early January. “He doesn’t get it,” Edwards said of the second President Bush. “He doesn’t see what’s happening.... He doesn’t see the effect this economy is having—loss of jobs, people’s loss of their pensions.” Edwards said his plan would do more for states struggling with massive budget deficits. “We need to give at least $5O billion of help to states around the country,” he said. Edwards, who is on the Senate Education Committee, also outlined his goals on education. He said he would push to give everyone a chance to go to college. Under his proposal, students could get their first year of college tuition free if they were willing to work 10 hours a week and follow certain other conditions.

Dole favors full recognition for Lumbees Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., has introduced a bill seeking full federal recognition for the Lumbee tribe, complete with the economic benefits the tribe has been denied for decades. See N.C. NEWS on page 10

Huffington takes aim at Bush, SUVs By ANDREW GERST The Chronicle Armed with video clips of talking pigs and the bobbing heads of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, political pundit Arianna Huffington huffed at corporate scandals, government corruption and SUVs in a satire-driven speech Wednesday night, sponsored by the Duke University Union’s Major Speakers Committee. “Every day I wake up and find 12 stories in the paper that outrage me,” Huffington said. “I’ve almost given up Starbucks —I get my adrenaline rush by reading the Wall Street Journal every day.” Huffington writes a syndicated column and is the author of nine books, including the newly released Pigs at the Trough. Speaking before about 300 people in Page Auditorium, she emphasized the need for a proactive public in effecting political change. Throughout the presentation, she sprinkled two-minute videos using animated pigs and news clips to poke fun at lobbyists with political family con-

nections, corporate tax dodgers and environmental apathy, drawing laughter and applause from the audience. “We only need a minority to get engaged, a critical mass,” she said. “Each person that joins the social justice movement could be the one to make that strategic minority.” Last

year,

Huffington

helped

launch The Detroit Project, an environmental group that lobbies against SUVs. The organization created two

advertisements that argued gasoline sales help fund terrorism, mocking similar anti-drug ads. But the ads drew heavy fire, Huffington said, and many television stations would not run them. “So much for the First Amendment,” she said. Nevertheless, Huffington said The Detroit Project’s ads led to state antiSUV legislation, exemplifying how satire and popular resistance can make a difference.

ARIANNA HUFFINGTON calls for a proactive public to bring about social change in a speech Thursday night at Page Auditorium. She co-founded the controversial The Detroit Project last year. Sparing few, Huffington’s criticism cut across party lines, targeting liberals, conservatives, the mainstream media and the American public. “We’re really living in two Americas,” she said. “There’s ‘upstairs America’ and ‘downstairs America.’ ...In 1980, the average CEO was making 42 times as much as the average worker. Now that’s gone up to 571 times as much.” Just to sustain interest in key issues has been a nation-wide struggle, Huffington said. “Remember Kosovo?” she asked. “The news from Kosovo is now buried somewhere in the newspapers.... The problem is finding what page front-

page news is on.” Recent presidents are at fault, she said, for substituting real progress in domestic affairs with irrelevant, “feelgood” gestures, such as Bush’s hydrogen

car research funding and former Presi-

dent Bill Clinton’s advocacy of school uniforms. She praised “bloggers” and other alternative media for sticking to pertinent issues more often. “We need to begin to produce some real leadership in the nation because it has atrophied,” Huffington said. Many audience members praised the speech. “I always appreciate it when something quite serious is offered with

humor,” said Durham resident Nicole

Rowan. “It’s intense to hear so much negativity, and it can become overwhelming.” Sophomore Matt Tolnick praised the Union’s ability to bring Huffington to campus. “What she talked about was pretty relevant and valuable for students today,” he said.

Greening Initiative kicks off with architect’s speech By JENNI HAINSFURTHER The Chronicle

Duke Bue may be worn by students all over campus, but some student leaders hope to make green a more important color. The Duke University Greening Initiative, founded

by sophomores Anthony Vitarelli and Justin Segall as part of an “enterprising leaders” public policy course, aspires to make the University a leader in environmental responsibility, sustainability and green building practices. As their inaugural event to promote these ideas, DUGI brought to campus William McDonough, the internationally renowned architect recognized for his environmentally progressive designs. “Duke has a unique opportunity in this country right now,” said McDonough, offering a brief sketch of a long-term plan the University could embark on to go beyond current standards and become a leader in green initiatives. With numerous construction projects planned at the University in the imminent future, Vitarelli and Segall plan to address the Board of Trustees in May to propose that all new construction meets green

standards. “We take our commitment to the environment here quite seriously,” Executive Vice President Tallman

Trask said. The main goal of DUGI is to implement the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards into the University Master Plan. LEED was developed by a national non-profit organization that aims to move the American building industry toward sustainable development practices, or development that focuses on conserving natural resources. Vitarelli has high hopes for the future of DUGI. “Down the road, we want to start a center for sustainability on campus,” said Vitarelli, also a Duke Student Government legislator. DUGI members said McDonough’s achievements in ecological designs made him a prominent role model for the organization. “He’s really the preeminent leader in this field right now; he’s shifting the paradigm,” said Vitarelli, describing the man who received the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development from President Bill Clinton in 1996 and was recognized by Time Magazine as a “Hero for the Planet” in 1999. McDonough delivered his lecture “Environmental Stewardship: Moving Towards a Green Campus” to a nearly full Geneen Auditorium at the Fuqua School of Business. He highlighted two main themes to address in his

presentation; “What would it mean to have a mental model saying we’re going to be here in 5,000 years?” and “How much can I give for all that I get?” McDonough showcased his Cradle to Cradle Designs—principles based on a book he co-wrote which addresses how products can be designed for infinite reuse. “Being less bad is not being g00d.... Let’s be 100 percent good,” McDonough said. To illustrate his idea of a technical cycle, where service products are returned to the environment, McDonough gave the example of a computer that could be bought, used and taken back to be turned into a new, better computer. McDonough has personally been involved in the design of many environmentally friendly buildings, including one at Oberlin College that purifies its own water and produces more energy than it requires to operate. “Victory would be a world powered entirely by renewable energy,” McDonough said. “As the Buddhists would say, ‘lf not now, when? If not here, where?’” he concluded. McDonough’s lecture, which was peppered with jokes, drew rousing applause from the audience. “I thought it was really inspiring. I hope the ideas he presented can trickle down to all students’ ways of thinking,” said sophomore Michelle Mangan, who recently became a member of DUGI.

It was a chilly Tuesday night near the Levine Science Research Center, but most of the people present weren’t paying attention to the weather. Instead, they ran around with stretchers, bandages, tape and other medical equipment amidst the noisy chaos of a mock multi-casualty explosion accident. The scene looked so real that one passerby stopped and asked, “Excuse me, is this an exercise?” It may have been a drill, but Duke’s student emergency medical technicians do not just play the game. Rather, the 27-member volunteer organization is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the school year. The EMTs and Durham County’s emergency medical services respond to all 911 calls on campus, but Duke’s EMTs can call and cancel Durham EMS if they know they can handle the situation alone. The EMTs take a semester-long class that meets twice a week for four hours followed by a state test for certification. After these in-class exercises, the once-

a-semester drill is the only practice session for the new and veteran EMTs, so most take it seriously. “The first thing these EMTs are going to encounter is chaos sophomore Jared Miranda tells the “patients.” “So once the dispatch comes out, start yelling.” And yell they did. David Strauss, a sophomore EMT who arrived first on the scene, automatically assumed the incident commander position and took charge of the situation. He said the overall drill went well because all patients were cared for and EMTs followed orders and used their resources. If the drill had been real, Strauss said, he’d be confident that he and his crew could handle the situation along with Durham EMS, police and fire crews. “[The event] is going to be inherently chaotic, and optimally it’s going to be organized,” Strauss said. “I think we really learned a lot from this drill.” Forty minutes after the drill started, it was over. The blood could be wiped off with napkins, and the “casualties” got up to eat dinner. But real ”

A&S from page 1 still consistent with increases at peer institutions. Last year’s tuition increase was among the smallest compared to Duke’s top 10 competitors. The Board of Trustees will consider the increase this weekend, with several other big-ticket items—ranging from the progress ofthe strategic plan to possible readjustments of the strategic investment plan. Chafe said that 32 faculty searches have been authorized for this spring and that 28 offers would likely be extended. Adding that there is usually about a 75 percent success rate in faculty recruitment, he expected 21 new faculty to be hired this year. The average number of retiring faculty is between 28 and 30. From the 1992 fiscal year through 2002 fiscal year, an increase of 30 tenure-track faculty and an increase of 46 regular-rank, non-tenure-track faculty led to a growth of Arts and Sciences faculty from 509 to 585. Chafe said that number of faculty would likely remain where it is for the next three years, and if it decreases, only slightly. A budget task force chaired by Philip

Cook, professor ofpublic policy, released a report last October that proposed cutting 50 faculty members as the worstcase scenario. That projection, based on more unfavorable financial data, is very unlikely to happen, however. “What we were more or less assured of was that the budget was quite sound, and [Cook] really did not expect that the deficit which was predicted for four years down the road would really be something that [might be so bad], because there were so many contingent factors,” said Ronald Witt, chair of the Arts and Sciences Council. “That was very reassuring. The initial report was kind of scary,

and I think that’s what got Duke so much attention across the country.” Meanwhile, financial aid expenditures are set to rise. “What’s mostly new [this year] is increased financial aid commitments, with multiple causes,” Chafe said. “There’s an increase in the number of students eligible for need-based aid.” Last October’s budget report stated the projected 2002-03 undergraduate financial aid would be $24 million and that graduate aid would cost another $18.7 million, totaling 19.4 percent of the total $220.8 million 2002-03 budget. Chafe said he and other administrators are only beginning to work with predictions, but that the extra costs would amount to a “seven-figure number.” James Belvin, director of undergraduate financial aid, said this year saw a 10 percent increase in the number of students eligible for need-based aid. He said he is still investigating that increase, but expected that it had to do with the economic downturn and greater recruitment of students with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. “As you can imagine, if admissions people go into Appalachia... or Watts or any place in the inner city or rural areas, more than likely, what they will be recruiting are students from more dire financial circumstances,” Belvin said. Belvin added that a new, more generous package advocated by a national

of computer science, said he wishes his department would grow more as well, given many departments’ climb in rankings and prestige in their respective fields. “We should be growing more than we are,” Biermann said. “We’re dealing with this in the context of statements from the administrators that growth has to be stopped right now. The University has indicated that the total faculty growth has to be very limited, maybe zero.” Witt, also a professor of history, added that departments are always clamoring for more hires in both financially flush and sparse times. “At the present time, given the economic conditions, I don’t know what a university can do,” Witt lamented. “Obviously, there’s never enough faculty.” Kelly Rohrs contributed to this story.

task force to which Duke belongs—the 568 Working Group—has increased the burden on financial aid, as has less aid in the form of work-study grants from the federal government and a commitment to provide financial aid to international students two years ago. The crunch may not have an immediate effect on the budget because of a $6 million reserve Duke developed in the

1990s when demand for financial aid money actually declined. Chafe said the reserve would help get Arts and Sciences through this year, but that it would have to plan carefully for when that reserve fund evaporates. Although Arts and Sciences’ worst fears will not likely be realized, the budget crunch has led to some tension. A recent plan for the Department of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy to move from a jointly administered department in Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine fully into Arts and Sciences has led to the possibility that faculty in the department would decrease sharply. The medical school is no longer willing to pay for the faculty positions, and the Arts and Sciences budgetary crunch prevents it from supporting that many extra faculty members.

WANG from page 1 dent groups “Particularly with advising, the student groups could really use our help,” Beal said. “DSG represents student groups as well, so it is important that we have a dynamic relationship.” Wang has worked this year on establishing a preceptorial program—once-a-month classes taught by professors—but the project has yet to be implemented. Despite his lack ofDSG experience, Wang said he is experienced with a wide range of student issues through his role as a residential adviser in Pegram Dormitory last year and Craven Quadrangle this year. “RAs, especially on East, are the most underestimated leadership on campus,” he said. “As an RA, I’m very qualified for DSG. RAs are aware of what’s going on around campus and aware of issues students face.” He added that his experience has helped him to become a fast decision-maker. Sophomore Jason Lavender, who currently lives in Craven Quad, wrote in an e-mail that Wang has been a very accommodating leader. “He has a thorough understanding of student issues affecting the entire Duke community,” Lavender wrote. “I believe that DSG would benefit from a president whose background is rooted in residential and student life.” As the only minority candidate running for the top spot this year, Wang said he believes he is in touch with minority issues. He added, however, that his vision for DSG goes beyond any particular student group. “As DSG president, there will be no issues relating to ethnic groups, just issues relating to Duke,” he said. In addition to his one year on DSG, Wang said he has additional qualifying experience both on- and offcampus. Two summers ago, he worked as an intern in the office of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. Last summer, he worked as assistant in the Office of Judicial Affairs. He said that despite his lack of DSG experience, his attitude and ideas are enough to make him an effective president. “I’m a genuine person. I think I keep it real,” he said. “The election is about issues and capabilities, and I have just as much capability [as other candidates!, if not more.”

Rep. Thomas Wright of New Hanover was chosen by his fellow Democrats in the North Carolina House of Representatives as their nominee for Speaker pro tempore, the second-ranking position in the House. Wright was chosen over Reps. Michael Decker of Forsyth County, Mickey Michaux of Durham County, Martha Alexander of Mecklenburg County and Ronnie Sutton of Robeson County. Legislative leaders still have not scheduled a vote on the speaker pro tempore selection, but they expect a similar arrangement to the co-speaker selection, with a Republican and a Democratic holding the post. Legislators also discussed limiting how long they meet each year. One bill would limit regular legislative sessions in odd-numbered years to 135 calendar days and in even-numbered years to 60 days. A joint resolution could extend a session by no more than 10 days. The bill received tentative approval Tuesday and now goes to the House for consideration.

Duke pulls out 70-49 win despite injuries to Beard By ROBERT SAMUEL

The cliche TALLAHASSEE, Fla. “basketball is a game ofruns” proved to be true once again for the women’s team’s 70-49 win over Florida State, Duke’s 39th consecutive ACC victory. With 10:21 left in the first half, the Blue Devils were struggling on its perch as the most dominant team in the ACC. Duke held only a 22-21 lead, and though she continued to play, Alana Beard had sprained her right ankle.

Blue Devils look to reign supreme over Red Storm By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

CHRIS DUHON, the national player of the year coming out of high school, is playing some of the best basketball of his career.

A little over two weeks ago the men’s basketball team was reeling, unable to win on the road, despite all its efforts, most recently a double overtime loss to Wake Forest. Duke had been written off by the media as having an off year, and had fallen as low as a fourth seed in many weekly NCAA tournament predictions. But just as quickly as the snow buried Charlottesville, Va—and as the Blue Devils simultaneously dumped Virginia 78-59 —Duke snapped out of its road slump. A game later the Blue Devils had firmly established an inside presence, and now they look primed to catch fire just in time for the postseason. “All those teams that beat us played great games against us,” freshman sharp-shooter J.J. Redick said. “Maybe we had to lose those games to know how to win.” Standing in the way as the Duke flame begins to spark is traditional Big East power St. John’s. And while Red Storm head coach Mike Jarvis hopes to toss water on the fire when the No. 6 Blue Devils (20-4) roll into Madison Square Garden Sunday at noon to battle St John’s (12-12), Dahntay Jones and Co. are ready to start a full-fledged inferno.

In order to douse the flames, the Red Storm will rely mainly on senior guard Marcus Hatten, who currently averages 21.5 points per game and ranks in the top-20 in the conference in several offensive categories. One of 30 finalists for the Wooden national player of the year award, Hatten burst onto the scene last season after transferring from junior college, and led the Red Storm in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals, garnering first team All-Big East honors.. Hatten teams with forward Anthony Glover to form most of the rest of St. John’s offense. The senior averages 11.5 points per game, and has been hot recently. In the Red Storm’s recent loss to Boston College, Glover racked up 22 points, a season high. Regardless of their best efforts, however, the pair have been unable to bring their team back to the winning ways it knew when this series started. At this point, the Red Storm have little left to play for the chance of pulling off an upset in the Big East tournament.

Goestenkors, Duke close regular season at home By PAULA LEHMAN The Chronicle

There’s just one more regular season game to play and one more school to rival with, but there’s everything to gain for No. 2 Duke. Sunday night, the Blue Devils (27-1,15-0 in the ACC) will end their regular season, taking on N.C. State (11-15, 6-9) in Cameron Indoor Stadium at 7 p.m. In their last meeting, head coach Gail Goestenkors described Duke’s play as the “ugliest” she had seen in a while. Still, the Blue Devils were able to contain the Wolfpack to a 30 percent shooting average, holding them to just 11 points in the first half, the fewest in N.C. State history. Especially with the improvement Duke has made defensively—adding Lindsey Harding to the starting line-up

plagued especially by road woes as they have won only one-out-of-seven ACC away contests. Despite Duke’s clear dominance in the conference, Goestenkors still holds her reservations. Even as they rolled over Maryland by a 42-point spread, the Blue Devils refuse to look over every small detail that may hurt them in the upcoming NCAA tournament. “I think this team has done a pretty good job of focusing on every individual game,” Goestenkors said. “We don’t talk about the No. 1 seed.... I think we respect every opponent. Our goal is the Final Four and the national championship so we have to get better through every game, and we know how important that is.”

The advantage here lies with Duke. Although the Wolfpack receives the bulk t)f its scoring from the frontcourt in Chones’ 14.3 and Mendeng’s 8,2 points per game, respectively, the Blue Devils should be able to contain them with Tillis, Matyasovsky, Mistie Bass, and company. It will be Senior Night at Cameron, so look for Matyasovsky to step up and leave in style. State’s guards are going to be chasing Blue Devils around all day. On top of Beard’s usual dominance, Harding has stepped up in the last few weeks, which has made defending Duke that much harder. Sheana Mosch has rediscovered her scoring touch lately and with Senior Night here, she will certainly be intent on making her last home game a memorable one. Although Duke usually goes much deeper than its opponents, it will not have that advantage against the Wolfpack, who have nine players who play at least 16 minutes a game. Mosch has been huge for the Blue Devils recently. However, Duke’s bench players have been on a roll lately, pouring in 30 or 40 points a game. The advantage goes to the Blue Devils here.

It will be Senior Night for Duke, and the team will want to give Matyasovsky and Mosch a victorious farewell on their last night at home. A win will secure an undefeated regular season in the ACC for the Blue Devils. Additionally, Duke will want to improve on its messy, turnover plagued win against Florida State Thursday. All the Wolfpack can do is hope for a Duke letdown

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

JOHN HUMPHREY set a Duke record in the 200 individual medley at the ACC championships.

The team’s first meeting last month was a sloppy affair, in which both teams shot poorly and did not take care of the ball. With Senior Night and the postseason so close, there is too much motivation pushing Duke in this game for N.C. State to catch them in a lull. Unless it becomes a mirror of the first game and it turns into a wild, low scoring affair, Duke —by Jesse Colvin should ride Its emotions to a resounding win, 77-53.

Men’s swimming fights through Day 1 of ACCs From staff reports After six events at the ACC Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, the Blue Devils stand in eighth place buoyed by strong performances from sophomore John Humphrey in the 200 individual medley, and eighth-place finishes from both the 200 freestyle relay and 400 medley relay teams. Coming into the championships, Humphrey had the tenth-fastest time in the conference in the 200 IM with a toptime of 1:51.91. Yesterday, Humphrey finished 12th overall with the time of 1:51.10. However, in the preliminary round in the morning, Humphrey raced a blistering 1:50.57 to set the Duke

school record. The 200 freestyle relay, comprised of

juniors Matt Olmsted, Trevor Yates and Chris Brede, and freshman Billy Pearce, recorded a season-best time of 1:25.21. Pearce, Humphrey, Yates and freshman Ben Rowland made up the 400 medley relay that also set a season-best time of 3:26.30. In the diving competition, sophomore Tim Hyer came in 11th place in the one meter diving board event. Several other Blue Devils set personal best times, though none were able to place in the top-10 of their respective events. Virginia has a commanding lead with 248 points. Duke has accumulated 55 points, but will look to close the gap beginning at 11 a.m. this morning at North Carolina’s Koury Natatorium. Event finals are expected to begin at 7 p.m.

ST. JOHN’S from page 11 mixing up play by successfully running a smooth inside and transition game. “We had connecting plays where somebody drove and kicked out, which is why we had such a good percentage from

three-point range,” Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after his teams’ recent victory over Georgia Tech. “It was penetrate, dish, relocation—where our shooters had their feet set.” Krzyzewski added that he was happy with the way his team played defense, both against the Yellow Jackets and in other recent games. That type of play, he said, has put Duke in a position that allows them to jump out to a lead, therefore making it difficult for opponents to comeback. It is this same style ofplay that Duke teams ofthe past were so famous for—a few quick spurts to blow the game open, followed by tight defense and maintaining a steady lead.

And although it took this year’s Blue Devils a decent part of the season to master that style of game, they have been on a tear since doing so, chalking up four straight wins over some of the ACC’s toughest competition.

COMMENTARY from page 11 miss, Duke stopped the Seminoles when whisked down a rebound. Freshman Jessica Foley played her part in the run when she knocked down a jump shot on the Blue Devils’ next possession, expanding the lead to 27-21. Duke provided a break in its dominance when Iciss Tillis, Lindsey Harding and Mistie Bass checked into the game at a dead ball, but things only got worse for the Seminoles. Michelle Matyasovsky - got things going again when she intercepted a Florida State pass, which Harding converted into two points with a running jumper in the lane. After a Bass block and two possessions without baskets for both teams, a Sheana Mosch steal led to a Bass score in the post. And after stopping the Seminoles once again, Tillis grabbed a rebound and quickly threw an outlet pass to Wynter Whitley

Harding. The freshman point guard blasted out of the pack after performing a cross-over dribble move at half court. Free from all but one defender, Harding threw a no-look pass to Mosch, who then made an easy lay-up to conclude the Blue Devil run. Duke held a 35-21 advantage. “We were having some scoring droughts,” Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said about the run. “We’ve got to find somebody to step up.” Duke would not play well for the rest of the game, and Beard would sprain her left ankle, but Florida State was demoralized by the sudden burst, and would hardly shrink the lead for the rest of the contest. The run also showed why the phrase

“defense wins championships” is so widely used. During the run, Duke had four steals and a block to shut down the Seminoles. Goestenkors was most impressed with Harding’s defensive pressure on Morris. “Lindsey... played tremendous defense on Morris,” Goestenkors said. Harding claimed that it was hard

work that led to her success. “[Morris] is a great player,” Harding said. “She elevates over you when you shoot. I just tried to deny and limit her touches. She’s tough to guard because she’s quick.” In the end, all Florida State could do

was praise Duke.

FSU from page 11 three-point play to give the Blue Devils a 17-14 lead. Despite the courage displayed by Beard, it took a jump shot by Seminole Genesis Choice to shrink Duke’s lead to 22-21 to kick the Blue Devils into high gear. After Choice’s shot, a Vicki Krapohl three-pointer started a 14-1 Blue Devil run, which was highlighted by four Duke steals. Things did not continue to be easy for the Blue Devils, however, because after Beard scored 13 points following her initial injury, she sprained her left ankle while flying out-of-bounds after an off-balance shot missed with 7:39 left in the second half. This injury appeared more serious than the first twist, as trainers tested

“Sheana Mosch has been playing very well for us lately, and I felt she did a good job,” Goestenkors said. “And Lindsey, I felt played tremendous defense on Morris in the second half. I really felt that she did a great job denying and limiting her touches.” With her 13 points, it was Mosch’s fourth consecutive game in double figures, shooting 5-for-7 from the field. Shooting 50 percent in the second half, Mosch was one of the few players from either team to find her stroke in the last twenty minutes. After Duke and Florida State shot 53.1 and 47.8 percent, respectively, in the first half, the two went 33.3 and 27.3 percent in the second. “They made everything difficult for us. We got no easy looks, no easy bas-

But it was the Blue Devil’s ability to the team held a 57-41 lead when the two-time All-American departed, and get to the free-throw line eleven more the Seminoles were unable to take times than the Seminoles —who were advantage of her absence.

The Chronicle Davison for EVP

Junior

Clifford Davison, current Duke Student Government vice president for facilities and athletics, is clearly the best candidate for DSG executive vice president next year, both because of his experience in the organization and his understanding of what the office of executive vice president entails. Davison is the only candidate in any race this year to have served on DSG for three years and to have served as a vice president this year. For the position of executive vice president in particular—since the executive vice president works with the four other vice presidents, leads the Legislature, and supports the president’s agenda—experience matters, and Davison has the experience. Moreover, Davison understands that the role ofthe executive vice president is not one of a visionary but rather one of a manager. That is, whomever the student body elects as president should set the agenda and the executive vice president should work to support that agenda; Davison pledges to do this. Davison also aims to improve the image, accountability and professionalism of DSG. Russ Ferguson, a freshman legislator, is also running for executive vice president, but lacks Davison’s experience and Davison’s understanding ofhow the position functions within the DSG hierarchy. Ferguson has many good ideas that should be discussed, but his platform sounds more like the platform of someone running for president than for executive vice president. The Chronicle formally endorses Clifford Davison for Duke Student Government executive vice president

Avery for academic affairs

the race for Duke Student Government vice president for academic affairs, junior Avery Reaves stands out for his in-depth knowledge on the issues and his extensive experience within DSG, having served for two years on the Academic Affairs Committee. Reaves’s platform consists of a number of ideas, many of which are of vital importance to the students of this University. Reaves wants to expand the course evaluation system to the Pratt School of Engineering, educate students on the new Duke Community Standard that goes into effect next year, and expanding and improving the premajor advising system. All ofthese initiatives are both very necessary

and things that DSG can feasibly accomplish. However, on several issues, Reaves should reconsider his thinking. With regard to transforming SAGES from an opt-in system to an opt-out system, while the opt-out system would be preferable for students, there is little chance that professors will ever agree to this type of system, so Reaves should focus his energies elsewhere. But more importantly, on the issue of Curriculum 2000, Reaves should work with the administration in its impending review of the system rather than waiting for the administration to complete its review and then having DSG respond. Reaves’s opponent, sophomore Maggie Peloso, has a different kind of experience with DSG, having served as executive secretary this past year. Peloso focuses on many ofthe same issues as Reaves, but lacks his academic affairs experience and comprehensive knowledge. The Chronicle formally endorses Avery Reaves for Duke Student Government vice president for academic affairs.

people will judge you based on your appearance and focus on not judging other people for theirs—and the problem will slowly dissipate both for yourself and others. The depression we suffer has led to escapism as well, the most popular forms being alcoholism, drugs, sex, video games, and instant messenger. I’m tired of seeing the guys on my hall playing video games 6 hours a day and wasting their intelligence on something so worthless to the world. We need to awaken our social consciousness and address the social injustice that occurs abroad and domestically. Why are we such an inactive youth class that seemingly doesn’t care about much other than appearance and transient joy? I just wish that we could get over the ills of this sickeningly capitalist system that has tainted music, television, movies, art and our mentality with lust, greed,and materialism. The major negative of capitalism has been the over-emphasis on money and materialism. We commercialize everything—nothing is sacred. We mock the eternal union of two people with shows like Joe Millionaire. It just makes me sick when I see melodramatic losers on my television screen. Fd rather watch paint dry than have my intelligence insulted by 99 percent of media coverage and television programming. I can’t present an easy solution to this dramatic widespread disease, only that we as individuals must try to fight the battle against shallowness and inactivity and engage in more meaningful exercises like discussion oi politics, plnlosopliy,

humor and humanity. Let’s become more independent and embrace true spirituality that yields inner peace.
