Shorter

K-ville considered By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Tenting for basketball games in Krzyzewskiville may span less time in ithe future, under several options that administrators and some student leaders are considering. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said he asked line monitors and tenters to brainstorm ways to shorten the window during which students camp in Krzyzewskiville, the annual tent city. “I think it’s got to be shorter,” he said. “We’ve heard from students that it goes on way too long.” Moneta and the outgoing head

line monitor, Jeremy Morgan, have been considering changes to the Duke tradition since February, and Morgan will seek input from line monicurrent Larry Moneta tors over the next couple of weeks. Morgan said he would hold a Krzyzewskiville town meeting early in April—after a new head line monitor is selected by incoming Duke Student Government president Matthew Slovik—to solicit student opinion.

MARINE SNIPERS TAKE AIM in southern Iraq in the port city of Umm-Qasr against troops and paramilitary fighters loyal to Saddam Hussein. Iraqi forces held up a U.S. advance toward Baghdad Sunday, inflicting casualties and taking American prisoners.

U.S. sees ‘sharpest engagements’ By PATRICK TYLER

New York Times News Service

American and KUWAIT CITY British ground forces Sunday suffered their worst casualties so far as they battled determined Iraqi forces on two fronts in what an American commander said were “the sharpest engagements of the war.” Military officials in the war zone reported that at least 20 American sol-

diers were missing or killed and 50 or more wounded in a day of ambushes, accidents and tank and artillery engagements. Precise casualty figures were not immediately available. Most of Sunday’s losses occurred at Nasiriya, along the Euphrates River, about 100 miles north ofthe Kuwaiti border, where an Army maintenance convoy was ambushed, resulting in the death or capture of about a dozen so Idlers, some of

whose images were beamed around the world by Arab television. Later, Marines attacked the city, and during a fierce battle with about 500 Iraqi defenders, a rocket propelled grenade struck a troop carrier, witnesses said, killing up to 10 soldiers. Military officials said dozens more were wounded in the battle, and late See WAR on page 12

Women struggle but remain afloat Mayor wins praise at term’s midpoint By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

RALEIGH Duke advanced to the second round of the NCAA Toumament with a 66-48 victory over Georgia State Sunday, a win that set a school season record for wins with 32, surpassing last year’s 31 victories. Alana Beard, who led Duke against a hungry Georgia State team (20-11) with 19 points, scored the Blue Devils’ first five points, including her jumper at the 16:46 mark that put Duke up 5-4, a lead it never relinquished. Duke’s largest lead of the first half was 10, but the Blue Devils struggled to gain any significant control of the game until the latter part of the second half. Their greatest lead ofthe day came after Jessica Foley sank two free throws with 1:12 left in the second half, to put her team up 66-45. Two crucial plays set up the victory for Duke, who struggled early. With 3:56 left in the game, Lindsey Harding stripped the ball from Georgia State’s Patechia Hartman, drove down the court and drew a foul while making her layup. Her three-point play gave No. 1 seed Duke (32-1) a 59-43 lead and eliminated any hope of a Lady Panther comeback. See NCAA in Sportswrap page 5

� Durham Mayor Bill Bell has usually

enjoyed strong relationships with colleagues during his first year in city government. By JOSH NIMOCKS The Chronicle

When Bill Bell stepped into the mayor’s office just over a year ago, he brought with him years of experience working with Durham’s public and private sectors, but relatively little with the city itself. He had worked with or chaired the Durham County Board of Commissioners, the Triangle Transit Authority and the North Carolina Central University Board of Trustees, but to be an effective city government executive he needed to demonstrate leadership on issues and the ability to work with colleagues. Now, as Bell looks at a possible reelection campaign, city leaders are giving him high marks. Bell said he has not yet made a final decision on running for reelection, although he said he plans to retire from politics whenever his mayoral tenure ends. Bell’s colleague, Mayor Pro Tempore Lewis Cheek, said

Israel proposes extension of barrier

Expanded concrete barrier would decrease Palestinian territory, enflame tensions By PAISLEY DODDS The Associated Press

JERUSALEM Israel is considering two plans to extend a barrier separating Israelis from Palestinians, officials said Sunday. Both would likely claim more land for Israel and possibly delay progress on a United Statesbacked plan for Palestinian statehood. Israeli officials said the electronic fences and cement blocks that Israelis have been calling a “separation fence” are meant to protect Israel proper and Jewish settlements from attacks by Palestinian militants. The barriers do not run strictly along the border of undisputed Israeli territory. Instead, they cut into several areas of the West Bank,

By HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq Aircraft screamed in low over the Iraqi capital, shaking buildings early Monday with a heavy bombardment. Heavy explosions hit Baghdad through the night. One explosion shook a Ministry ofPlanning building within the Old Palace, a presidential compound hit in earlier attacks. It appeared to be the strongest airstrikes since Friday night, when Tomahawk missiles rained down on the city of 5 million people, smashing several of Saddam Hussein’s palaces and government buildings. Reports that a coalition plane had been downed over Baghdad sparked a search Sunday by hundreds of Iraqi police and security agents for any survivors. They shot into the reeds and shallow water alongside the Tigris River.

which the Palestinians claim as the heartland of a future state, incorporating thousands of Jewish settlers—and Palestinians. Two proposals, revealed Sunday, would increase the amount ofland the Palestinians would lose compared to previous plans, although an exact figure was not available. Israeli officials said the barriers could be demolished and moved if and when a permanent border is set for a Palestinian state. Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat accused Israel of trying to sabotage international peace efforts at a time when the world’s attention is diverted by the fighting in Iraq. “This is part of Israel’s exploitation of the war in Iraq,” Erekat said. He

said he would seek clarifications from international mediators. Skeptical Palestinians and human

rights groups also called it an illegal land grab and said that, in effect, the new barriers would dislocate more than 200,000 Palestinians, leaving them on the “Israeli” side of an imposed border. “Before these new proposals, Palestinians were going to lose between 8 to 10 percent of land in the

occupied

West Bank and East Jerusalem. Now it’s more like 20 percent,” said Michael Tarazi, legal adviser to the PLO. The West Bank’s total size is about 2,200 square miles, slightly larger than Delaware.

They set fire to brush in some spots, and small boats patrolled the river’s edge. At the United States Central Command in Qatar, Army Lt. Gen. JohnAbizaid denied that any coalition planes had been shot down. “No planes have been shot down. No pilots have parachuted,” he said. “You can see by their actions —shooting into the water —that their search-and-rescue techniques leave a lot to be desired,” he added. An Iraqi military spokesperson, Lt. Gen. Hazem A1 Rawi, said Iraqi forces have shot down five allied warplanes—all but one ofthem in Baghdad—and two helicopters since the war began. Lebanese TV A1 Manar said a British pilot was captured in Baghdad and the search along the Tigris was for his co-pilot.

Iraqi war effects pervade campus By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

In a throwback to the Vietnam War era, when antiwar protests and political debate were ever-present, the intensifying war in Iraq has become the major topic of discussion and activity on campus. From tight campus security and panel discussions to demonstrations and graffiti, administrators, students, faculty members and other community members are voicing their opinions on and dealing with the United States’ military action in a variety of manners. Over the weekend, Executive Vice President Tailman Trask announced a scaling back of campus security restrictions announced last Wednesday—which at the time included limited vehicular access to the core of the campus, locked doors on buildings earlier in the

evening and the requirement of Duke community members to carry their DukeCards. “We are now eliminating the vehicle checkposts except in a few critical locations Trask said in a statement. “However, we continue to ask members of the Duke community to raise their own level of awareness and report anything suspicious to the Duke police.” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta sent an e-mail of his own to all students Sunday, detailing measures the University will take if the government escalates the nation’s security status from Code Orange to Code Red. Those efforts include: Access controls to the core of campus, like those late last week, will be instituted. Student Affairs will open a communications center that can be accessed through 681-3200, where staff will respond to questions from students and their families about events on campus and subsequent plans for ”

Duke Hospital accreditation fails From staff reports Based on a March 6 on-site evaluation initiated by complaints stemming from the Jesica Santillan case, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations has downgraded Duke Hospital’s accreditation status from “Accreditation with Full Standards Compliance” to “Accreditation with Requirements for Improvement.” JCAHO, the national accrediting body for hospitals and other health care institutions, cited six performance areas—among 45 total—in which the Hospital received a substandard grade: aggregation and analysis, planning, role in improving performance, assessing competence, information management planning and governance. The review noted inadequate confirmation procedures that may have contributed to the Feb. 7 mistake involving Jesica, in which a heart and lungs of incorrect blood type were transplanted into the 17-yearold girl. JCAHO also pointed to inadequate documentation of the transplant surgeons, and questioned the

qualifications and training of the procuring surgeon. The Hospital’s Director ofAccreditation and Regulatory Affairs Gail Shulby responded to reviews reported by both JCAHO and the state Division of Facility Services in a March 21 statement, noting that the Hospital conducted its own review following the tragedy and noted many similar areas needing improvement. In addition, the Hospital has already enacted many needed changes, including instituting repeated verifications of blood match for transplant, the statement said. “We continue to review the circumstances surrounding Jesica’s care and welcome the input from these agencies to further enhance our programs,” Shulby wrote in the statement. She noted DFS will return March 24 for a full validation survey, and JCAHO will return within three months for a focused survey. The Hospital was last downgraded in status in December 2000. At any one time, approximately 89 percent ofhospitals hold the “Accreditation with Requirements for Improvement” status.

Diya helps national donor campaign By JANE HETHERINGTON The Chronicle

Last summer, Harshal Mehta, a 19year-old sophomore at Virginia Commonwealth University, was diagnosed with myelodysplasia, a form ofleukemia. With Mehta without a donor, his family members brought their nationwide campaign to Duke last week to register as many ethnic minorities as possible. In conjunction with Diya, the South

Asian-American Student Association, last Thursday’s bone marrow blood drive was held to further awareness of a common problem facing South Asian leukemia patients of almost impossible probabilities for finding a bone marrow donor, as well as to find a match for

Harshal Mehta. “No one in his family matches his marrow type, so his life hangs by the thread of hope that an unrelated person who matches [will register] in the national marrow database and then donate,” said campaign organizers Miku Mehta and Amida Mehta, Harshal Mehta’s cousins. “We are fighting for him by registering as many people as we can in the marrow registry by registration drives nationwide.” The National Marrow Donor Program reports that the chance of a typical South Asian identifying even one match in bone marrow can be significantly less than that of a typical Caucasian. Miku and Amida Mehta are campaigning for bone marrow donors at universities with strong South Asian student organizations to help host blood drives. Although they receive only about 30-40 people per drive, occasionally up to 200 people attend. Since Miku Mehta began working on the blood drives in No-

Keohane addresses Duke’s Christian ties At last Thursday’s Academic Council meeting, President Nan Keohane responded to a question posed by an anonymous faculty member about Christian ties suggested by a passage in the University bylaws. She noted that the document in question was not the University’s operational mission statement, and that the University has the right and authority to act independently ofthe church. However, she said it was unnecessary to amend the passage because it has “important symbolic legitimacy” and has not affected her decision-making at any time.

Rivers to deliver MLK lecture Rev. Eugene Rivers, a Boston-area pastor who has

created programs to combat urban violence, drugs and poverty, will be the featured speaker of the Divinity School’s 2003 Martin Luther King, Jr. Lectures April 1 and 2. A pastor of the Azusa Christian Community in Dorchester, Mass., Rivers has been credited with helping to reduce homicides and other violent crimes in Boston. Referred to as the “savior of the streets” in a 1998 Newsweek cover story, Rivers co-founded an organization that brought together local churches and police to combat youth violence. He is now co-chair of the National Ten Point Leadership Foundation, which is working to repeat those efforts in 40 of America’s worst inner-city neighborhoods. Rivers will present the keynote King lecture at 2:30 p.m. April 1 in the York Chapel. Rivers will preach at two worship services April 2: a 10 a.m. service in York Chapel and a 7 p.m. service at Fisher Memorial United Holy Church ofAmerica, 420 East Piedmont Ave. in Durham. The evening worship service will be preceded by a 5 p.m. community dinner at Fisher Memorial. The lecture and related worship services are free and the public is invited.

Men’s tennis upsets 2nd-ranked Florida, 4-3 By JAKE POSES

“Basically I was just trying to keep my composure together,” Zimmerman said. “I knew I had the crowd behind me. That’s always a plus. I knew if I just keep calm and collective, I’m going to get some chances to break and come through.” While dwarfed by the importance of the decisive set, the first two didn’t lack excitement. Hahn pulled out the first with a 7-4 victory in the tiebreak. To level the score, Zimmerman took the second set 6-3 as he broke Hahn in a grueling final game. “He showed a lot of composure out there,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “He took his time and showed a lot of positive energy.” The Blue Devils came out strong on the afternoon, winning all three doubles matches to grab the important doubles point. Phillip King and Michael Yani defeated their Gator opponents in a tiebreak.

Florida Ambler Tennis Stadium, After suffering a disappointing loss to No. 42 Pepperdine the previous afternoon and splitting six points against No. 2 Florida (15-3), Zimmerman pulled out a tough come-from-behind victory over Tory Hahn to secure a 4-3 Duke (8-5) victory. Zimmerman opened the decisive third set with a booming ace. The two men were on serve at 4-3 when Zimmerman, from a defensive position, zipped a downthe-line passing shot by Hahn to put himself up a break. Finally, with the chance to serve for the match and the team victory, Zimmerman set up match point with an angledvolley winner. Then, Hahn floated a return long to give Zimmerman and the Blue Devils a much needed victory and morale boost.

6 The ACC season could not have started any worse for Duke’s baseDuke 0 ball team. The Blue Devils, picked in the preseason to finish eighth in the ACC, headed to Charlottesville, Va., for a weekend series with Virginia intent on proving that they can compete in what is likely the toughest conference in the nation. Instead, facing a Cavaliers team that isn’t even one of the five ACC teams that have been ranked in the top 25, the Blue Devils didn’t just get beat—they got humiliated. Duke (12-13, 0-3 ACC) was swept in the three-game series by a combined score of 28-3, getting out-hit 47-14 in the process, and returned home sitting appropriately at eighth in the conference. “We didn’t hit, and we didn’t pitch, and that’s everything you need to do to win,” freshman Russell Durfee said. “It was just a really tough weekend, and

Sunday’s game was a fitting culmination for a weekend marked by offensive frustration, as the Blue Devils mustered only four hits and failed to plate a single run.

Virginia starting pitcher Chris Gale (2-1) kept the Blue Devil bats ice cold, tossing seven scoreless innings in earning the victory, and shortstop Mark Reynolds came within a double of hitting for the cycle as the Cavaliers cemented the series sweep. Virginia (13-8, 3-3) opened the scoring in the bottom of the second against Duke starter Kevin Thompson (25), as Chris Sweet was hit by a pitch and came around to score on an RBI single by leftfielder Paul Gillispie. The Cavaliers built on their lead in the third, when Matt Dunn led off the inning with a triple down the left field line and scored on Reynolds’ sacrifice fly. The real damage was done in the fifth inning when Reynolds, who went 6-of-12 in pestering Duke pitchers all weekend long, launched a two-run homerun to leftcenter field. The Cavaliers added another run in the inning, pushing their lead to 5-0, when first baseman Joe Koshansky singled and scored two batters later on a sacrifice fly by Sweet. Virginia added another run in the seventh on an RBI single by Sweet, but with the Blue Devil bats dorSee BASEBALL on page 7

Duke headed for Anaheim, Sweet 16 By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

86 SALT LAKE CITY After surviving a N.C. State 60 first-round scare against Colorado State two days previously, the men’s basketball team took the court at the Huntsman Center Saturday and promptly pummeled Central Michigan 86-60. Dahntay Jones scored a gamehigh 28 points and the third-seeded Blue Devils employed suffocating defense to put away the Chippewas, the 11th seed in the West region. Despite the convincing rout, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski paid great respect to a Central Michigan team that had upset Creighton, at one time ranked 15th nationally, to advance into the second round. “My hat goes off to Central Michigan for having such an outstanding season,” he said. ‘They’re extremely well coached. I thought we wore them down.” After waiting an extra half hour to play while Gonzaga and Arizona finished out their classic double-overtime thriller, Duke immediately established itself as the dominant team, using a 9-1 run to jump out to an 18-10 lead, just six minutes into the contest. Jones scored 12 of those points and would finish the opening stanza with 18. Jones’ performance comes on the heels of a 23-point outburst Thursday, in which he opened the game by pouring in the Blue Devils’ first 11 points. “He’s a senior star,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s developed into that.As a result of hard work he’s become an outstanding player.” Another key offensive weapon for Duke was guard J.J. Redick, who poured in 26 points, despite missing practice Friday with heavy congestion and a weak overall feeling. Redick’s three-point shooting ignited Duke’s game-opening 14-3 run late in the second half. The freshman hit two treys and added a layup, as a 26-22 advantage at the 8:18 mark evolved into a 40-25 edge five minutes later. Although Krzyzewski lavished praise on his freshman for his toughness, Redick Duke

downplayed battling through illness. “Obviously I was well-enough to play,” he said, though not entirely convincingly after breaking into a prolonged coughing session.

Completing a potent triumvirate, junior point guard Chris Duhon played perhaps his best game in weeks, scoring 16 points, dishing out eight assists and picking off six steals. “I thought Chris was magnificent,” Krzyzewski said. Duhon also represented the Blue Devils’ commitment to outworking the Chippewas. Even though Duke never led by fewer than 14 points in the second half, the 6-foot-3 guard continued to hurl himself after loose balls, and appeared to take quite a beating in the process. “There’s no time for shoulda-couldawoulda [now],” Duhon said. “Even with a 14-point lead you are never safe, espe-

cially with the three-pointer. We’re going

to play until the buzzer, and play as hard as we can.” Offensively spectacular, particularly in the first half when it shot 60.7 percent from the floor, Duke delivered a dominant defensive performance as well. The

Blue Devils forced 21 turnovers, and held Central Michigan center Chris Kaman relatively in check. The 7-foot NBA prospect finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds, a very re-

SHELDEN WILLIAMS tries to swat the ball from Central Michigan’s Chris Kaman. spectable statline, but his teammates, who carried Central Michigan to victory Thursday night when Kaman fought fatigue to score just 12 points, looked overwhelmed against Duke’s aggressive manto-man pressure. “Defense was the primary concern,” Jones said. Krzyzewski thought his team’s ability to deny the Chippewas a perimeter game ensured his team’s victory. “We played very good defense here in Salt Lake,” he said. “We wouldn’t have won against Colorado State.... My feeling is you don’t advance —at least our teams don’t advance—unless you play good defense.” Confident and seemingly peaking at the right time, Duke took time to reflect on the maturation of its young team, from raw to battle-tested. “They’re growing up, and that’s not something a lot of people have allowed our group to do,” Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t come in a well-oiled machine—and I’m not saying we are now—but we’ve had to learn, and we’ve w0n.... during spring break we were able to get back to the fundamentals of playing good man-

to-man defense.” Duke 86, Central Michigan 60 FINAL

CHRIS DUHON leads the potent Duke offense against the Chippewas, SALT LAKE CITY— It is easy to forget how skilled of a college basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski is. Leading his teams to nine Final Fours and three national championships, Krzyzewski makes it seem as if it is his birthright to win over and over again. But the West Point graduate’s game plan for the Central Michigan Chippewas showed once again that there is a non-apriori reason that he is the best collegiate coach ofhis generation. Immediately following Duke’s 67-57 win over Colorado State, knowledge I Krzyzewski’s of the Central Michigan squad was ignorant to the point of comedy. “I don’t know too , o about Central T) I i much

and , should n’t,” Krzyzewski said. “I do know they have the big kid.” But like every person who is greatly successful in his or her field, there was a method to his madness. “I’ve coached in over 70 NCAA games, and I have never looked at an opponent, beyond the opponent I play,” Krzyzewski said. “I think it’s the reason why we’ve advanced pretty much in good shape. I will know [about Central Michigan] by tomorrow.” Though it seemed like a skeptical claim at first, from the opening minutes of the second round game it was readily apparent that Krzyzewski had completely discovered the Chippewas weaknesses, and knew exactly how to exploit them. In Central Michigan’s 79-73 upset win over Creighton Thursday, the Chippewas showed they were a team of great talent, but minimum depth. Central Michigan developed a 26-point lead early in the second half of its first-round win, but because of fatigue it nearly squandered its chance to face the Blue Devils before it rallied to a six point win. Immediately taking advantage of this observation, Saturday the Blue Devils started the game at breakneck speed, racing up and down the court. Chris Duhon’s aggressive play set the tone, as he forced the Chippewas to strugGame Commentary

gle to get back on defense nearly every possession. Senior Dahntay Jones most benefited from the nm-and-gun style of play, scoring 12 of the Blue Devils’ first 16 points en route to his career high 28 points. Krzyzewski also substituted at a far greater pace, replacing players ten different times in the first halfalone to keep the Blue Devils noticeably more fresh than the panting Chippewas. It was in this rapid substitution that Krzyzewski found an effective neutralizer to Chris Kaman. The MAC offensive and defensive player ofthe year is exactly the type of player with which the Blue Devils

match-up worse: a big-man with considerable skill. “I thought [Kaman] was the best cen-

ter we’ve played against because he can really run, he can used both hands and if he’s fouled, he can hit free-throws,” Krzyzewski said.

When little used freshman center Michael Thompson entered the game with 11:23 remaining in the first half, the 7-foot Kaman had already scored half of Central Michigan’s 16points. But Thompson’s big frame and determined play made the tall Chippewa struggled to only five more points in the half, shooting under 50 percent for the first twenty minutes compared to the 63 percent he shoots on the season. “Thompson banged in there,” Smith said. “He’s a pretty good player.” But it was through educating his players of Central Michigan’s defensive tendencies, the Blue Devils were able to break the Chippewas off the dribble with

ease, leading to Jones’ career-high and Chris Duhon’s 16 points and eight assists. However, Krzyzewski will need to create even greater plans to continue to advance in the tournament, as high-powered Kansas and Arizona will also make the trip to Anaheim, Calif., next week. However, it would not surprise Smith if the Blue Devils prevailed. “If they play as well as they did... they’ll be difficult to beat down the stretch,” Smith said. “In the two games before they make it to the Final Four, they’ll be tough to deal with.”

Blue Devils clip No. 16 Georgia State NCAA from The Chronicle page 1

RALEIGH

Just 19 seconds earlier, Iciss Tillis recorded a steal and made a layup to put the Blue Devils up by 13. Head coach Gail Goestenkors was upset that her team started out so tentative, especially on the defensive end of the court. “I was really upset with the way we were playing,” she said. “Defensively, we were rushing things. Offensively,

not patient, not executing. I told the players they don’t have anything to worry about or be afraid of, except that they don’t give their best effort.... I felt we did a much better job in the second half, just attacking more. We had that attacking mindset that I think you

fthe

need this time of year, on both ends of

the floor.” Duke also struggled at times in the second half finding the basket from inside. At the 10:56 mark, Sheana Mosch missed a jumper, followed by a no-good shot by Mistie Bass, an errant layup by Tillis and another two missed layups by Bass. Foley finally got the offensive rebound and put the ball in the hoop. Duke gained additional momentum two minutes later when Vicki Krapohl, who had missed her first four longrange attempts, sank a three to give her team a 48-37 lead. The Blue Devils were coming off a 13-day break since the ACC Tournament, and expected its offense to start off a bit rusty. They were, however, surprised by their initial sub-par defensive performance, something they normally pride themselves on. The Lady Panthers, down by 10 with eight minutes remaining in the first half, went on a 13-7 run and cut Duke’s lead to four entering the locker room. The Blue Devils responded eight minutes into the second half with an unanswered 8-0 run that lasted nearly five minutes. Keeping Duke on its heels the entire game, the lower-ranked squad proved to be the toughest No. 16 seed in the tournament, as the Big Dance’s

other No. 1 seeds, Tennessee, Connecticut and LSU won by a combined 135 points.

“Sometimes a tape doesn’t reveal how a team really plays,” Beard said. “But they were pretty good on tape and they’ve been in this position three years in a row, so we didn’t expect anything less.” The Lady Panthers were surprised to be playing Duke in the first round and felt that they should have received a higher ranking in the NCAA Tournament.

Goestenkors expressed similar sentiments and was impressed at the high level of play by her opponents. “I give a lot of credit to Georgia State. They were not a 16th seed,” she said. “They do a great job, they’re very athletic, very well coached, they execute well and do a good job on defense. I knew that it was going to be a tough game for tis.” The Lady Panthers played an effective zone defense and held Duke to a four-point lead with 12 minutes left in regulation. On the scoring end, they were led by Hartman’s 16 points, and also got strong showings from guards Angelina Miller, who scored 12, and Evita Rogers, who had 11 on the day.

As Georgia State’s

hopes of stealing a win from the topseeded Blue Devils faded, Lindsey Harding slammed the door on the Lady Panthers with a steal of her own. With a little under four minutes remaining, the Blue Devils held a 56-43 advantage. But Georgia State, the best No. 16 seed in the history of the women’s tournament, was still a viable threat because of the Lady Panthers’ ability to pour on points quickly and to hold the Blue Devil offense hostage with a stingy matchup zone. Georgia State’s best player and leading scorer, Patechia Hartman, brought ball up the right side of the floor with Harding playing her tight. As Hartman prepared to move back to her left, she crossed the ball over. But Harding’s lead hand x/.i n Mlke Core Y was outstretched Game Commentary enough that when Hartman dribbled, all Harding had to do was slap the ball to herself for the steal. “I’d just been pressuring the ball throughout the whole game,” Harding said. “I was just in the right place at the right time, so I took it away.” What proceeded was a foot race, as Harding sprinted towards the right side of the basket with Hartman in close pursuit. When Harding picked up the dribble and began her stride for the layup, Hartman caught up to her and latched one hand onto the freshman’s shoulder. Harding’s momentum carried her up, but she was spun slightly away from the basket. She somehow managed to hoist a shot that kissed off the glass and in for a 58-43 lead. Vicki Krapohl and Jessica Foley rushed at Harding and nearly bowled her over in their excitement. Harding picked up Krapohl, gave Foley a bear hug and then was embraced by the fans’ loudest cheers of the game. The team then got together in a circle and did a little more congratulating before Harding gathered herself at the foul line before draining a free throw. “After that, we just kept things going until the end of the game,” Harding said. The three-point play effectively ended Georgia State’s upset hopes by making the lead insurmountable and taking the wand out of the Lady Panthers’ sails. “That was a huge play for us,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “It seems like at big points in the game, she’ll come up with a steal or a big hustle playfor us.” The defensive stop and three-point play was important for Duke not just because of when it came, but because it came on a day when the Blue Devil defense had been anything but stellar. This came as a surprise to Goestenkors and her players, who have become accustomed

to playing hard-nosed, highly-effective defense day in and day out, “We were so excited to play they were bouncing off the walls yesterday,” Goestenkors said. “I was a little concerned that we needed valium or something because we were just going crazy.” But the Blue Devils calmed without it, as Goestenkors and her squad lamented they were without much enthusiasm at the game’s start. Goestenkors said she expected her team to channel the previous day’s energy into tenacious defense, but that didn’t come for the Blue Devils until the second half. “I had confidence we would pull the game out somehow” Tillis said. “1 knew we would get some defensive stops when we needed them.”

Men’s lacrosse falls to Georgetown in overtime From staff reports

When Georgetown’s Georgetown 6 Jordan Vettoretti 5 put a point blank Duke shot into the back of the net in overtime, it marked another disappointment for the men’s lacrosse team. No. 5 Georgetown (5-0) defeated eighthranked Duke (6-3) 6-5 Sunday at Harbin Field in Washington D.C. The winning goal came with 2:19 remaining in the overtime session on a pass from Walid Hajj. Taking the face-off, Georgetown’s Andy Corno ran the ball down the field and rocketed it past Duke goalie A.J. Kincel. Earlier in the game, Duke jumped out to an quick 1-0 lead with a manup advantage. The teams then battled to a 2-2 tied before Hajj scored two goals as the Hoyas jumped out to a 4-2 edge. After the Hoyas took the lead, the teams battled to a stalemate, but then the Blue Devils, gaining momentum before the break, scored with just 34 seconds remaining in the half. Duke came out hot and scored the lone goal of the third period to level the score at four. Then, early in the fourth, Duke took the lead for the first time since the opening minutes. Georgetown’s Mike Hammer then tied the game with 5:53 remaining in

the contest. He put a Vettoretti pass past Kincel who saved 60 percent of the Georgetown shots on goal. A bright spot for the Blue Devils was their ability to covert in the extra-man situation. The team scored on 2-of-6 such opportunities. Georgetown, also found the back of the net on a third of their extra-man advantages. Corno dominated the face-off circle, securing 9-of-14 chances. Georgetown also won the battle for ground balls, grabbing 34 to Duke’s 28. Duke’s Kevin Cassese scored a team-high two goals and also added a pair of assists. Matt Rewkowski, Matt Zash and Matt Monfett all added a goal of their own for the Blue Devils, who had trouble shooting, converting on only six of their 44 attempts. Hajj lead the Hoyas with a pair of goals and an assist. The team has the rest of the week off before facing Ivy League power Harvard Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m in Durham.

Blue Devils finish 14th of 15 at E-Z-GO Invitational By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

A rough spring continued for the men’s golf team this weekend as the E-Z-GO Invitational wasn’t so easygoing, seeing the Blue Devils finish 14th among 15 of the nation’s elite teams—a group Duke has threatened to fall from based on play in the spring months. The Blue Devils’ three-round 887 put them 43 strokes behind first-place Wake Forest, whose Brent Wanner

took the individual title at the par-62 Heights Country Club in Statesboro, Ga. “This type of golf course is an easy course, but you had to play it pretty consistently and be either conservative or aggressive,” said junior Mike Castleforte, who finished 55th overall with a 224 despite a 102-degree temperature. “We kind of went back and forth, didn’t take advantage of the right holes and had a few too many Forest

bogies on the wrong ones.” Rob Beasley turned in the most solid effort and the only under-par round with a 71 Saturday, followed by a pair of 74’s in Sunday’s closing action, The junior stood at 25th place after the first day’s action, but finished in 35th after slipping like many of his teammates —no Blue Devil topped his Saturday score. Wake blew out the field as Duke dropped from eight strokes back and eventually finished 23 behind, but for lack of finishing off holes rather than any wide-sweeping malaise for a team whose slow season is quickly reaching an end.

“I don’t think there is [a sense of frustration] yet,” said Castleforte, whose next stop is Augusta National April 5. “I mean we had a nice fall. And we’ve had the bad weather of late, but

we’ve used that excuse already, so it’s getting to the point where we need to start to get going,”

TENNIS from page 3 “They have good doubles and the fact that we beat them is a good sign,” Lapidus said. “I feel like we have combinations we have been searching for.” Zimmerman and Ludovic Walter battled Oliver Levant and Eleazar Magallen. The Duke team was up an early break when the Florida team brought the match back on serve. Showing no quit, Zimmerman and Walter immediately regained their advantage. Walter served for the match, securing a 8-5 victory on a powerful ace. The crowd got behind Peter Shults and Jonathan Stokke as they fell behind an early break. Fighting back to level the score at seven all, the Blue Devils broke for a second consecutive opportunity and served out a 9-7 victory. “The fact that we are winning some of these close matches is a good sign,” Lapidus said. “It shows we are together and the chemistry is good on the court.” King had been struggling with a nagging ankle injury that sidelined him during singles action Friday’s loss. Knowing about King’s condition, the Florida coaches posted their best player, No. 4 Janne Holmia, against Duke’s Yani in the second flight. Appearing frustrated throughout, King could never gain an advantage over

his fellow baseliner opponent Hamid Mirzadeh. After a tight first set, Mirzadeh controlled the second, breaking King at 2-2. King would not win another game as Mirzadeh recorded a point for the Gators with a 6-4, 6-2 win. to

“It’s bothering him,” Lapidus said about King’s ankle. “He is probably at 75 to 80 percent right now.” Yarn, who was not phased by the Florida switch, battled Holmia to a 6-4,6-4 victory. In each set, Yani broke his Gator opponent in the final game to post an

impressive victory. Walter, playing in the No. 4 flight, came out charging early as he mounted a 3-0 lead in the first set. Never dropping the break, Walter won the first set 6-3. After falling behind 2-0 early in the second, Walter rattled off five consecutive games to put himself in position to for a 63, 6-3 victory. At the No. 5 and No. 6 flights respectively, Stokke and Yorke Allen were outmatched by their Gator opponents. Matt

Behrmann defeated Stokke 6-2,6-4. Allen fell by a score of 6-2, 6-2. Friday against Pepperdine, the Blue Devils won the doubles point but dropped four singles matches to lose 4-3. Zimmerman and Yani were the only Blue Devils to win as Lapidus was forced to move everyone up a slot to fill King’s vacancy. “We ran the [table] this weekend with highs and lows,” Lapidus said following the Florida victory. “I was really surprised, after yesterday we would have been really down, the guys showed a lot of heart.” Duke 4, Florida 3 Singles

BASEBALL from page 3 mant, the game was all but over.

Saturday, the Cavaliers used a fivenm sixth inning to break open what had been a close game, and cruised to a 9-2 victory. With Duke down only 2-1 in the sixth, Virginia victimized Duke reliever Blake Walker with five runs on five consecutive singles, keyed by a two-run single by Gillispie. In a matchup of freshmen, Virginia starter Mike Ballard (1-2) notched his first collegiate victory while Duke’s Russell Durfee (0-1) took the loss despite a strong outing. Friday’s action followed the same formula as the rest of the weekend: poor pitching, weak hitting. The Cavaliers pounded out 23 hits to the Blue Devils’ four, en route to a 13-1 rout. Virginia starting pitcher JeffKamrath (2-1) shut

down Duke for eight innings in earning the victory. If this weekend’s auspicious debut is any indication, Duke could be in for a long season. Things certainly don’t get any easier from here, as the Blue Devils travel to Winston-Salem next weekend for a three-game series with Wake Forest, ranked 13th by Baseball America, and preseason All-American pitcher Kyle Sleeth. The following weekend, Duke hosts red-hot N.C. State, before a showdown with second-ranked Georgia Tech. As they prepare to face the ACC elite, the Blue Devils will try to erase the memory of an awful beginning to conference play. “Baseball isn’t a game where you think about what happened yesterday” senior pitcher JeffAlieva said. “Baseball’s always played for tomorrow... so we just need to come out and have good practices, and we’ll be ready to play next weekend.”

TENTING from page 1 “I want to lay some sort of groundwork for talking about K-ville in general,” said Morgan, a senior. “A six- or seven-week long tenting season might have been a little too long this year.” Students started tenting before the spring semester began and continued through the home game against the University of Maryland Feb. 19, battling one of the area’s nastier winters in years. In January and February, undergraduates sleep, study and live in makeshift tents in order to procure the best seats in

Cameron Indoor Stadium when the men’s basketball team faces some of its most storied opponents in the historic venue. “The problem [the long tenting period] creates is that it discourages the casual Cameron Crazie from tenting,” said junior Donald Wine, who is a candidate for head line monitor next year. Morgan said low attendance this year—including uncharacteristically unfilled student seats at times—was in part due to casual fans’ expectations that tenters would claim all the seats or that they would have to line up the night before. “Some students like to tent for the sake of tenting, and that’s great, but from the

line monitor’s standpoint, it’s more important to get the stands filled,” he said. He added that in past years and likely next year, the schedule would fall in such away that allows a break between the two games designated as tenting games. Either way, Moneta said he would like to see tenting’s competitive spirit harnessed into a new tradition—such as a kickoff event. He hoped a new twist on Kville could be ready for next year’s tenters. “I don’t in any way want to tinker with the spirit of K-ville,” Moneta said. “I’m always looking for new rituals that everyone would like to enjoy.” Among the ideas Moneta offered were

One issue Best said the two significantly differ on is development—Best said Bell is more reserved than him. Although strict requirements exist pertaining to zoning plans and site plans, Bell emphasized the need to examine each development plan individually. “We have to do it on a case-by-case basis in all instances,” Bell said. Cheek credited Bell with getting the re-development of South Square Mall moving after the opening of

to have a K-ville concert kickoff, as well as a “spirit competition” or some sort of student Olympics to determine who gets the highest placement for seats. “It could be limited to a day. We could get Dick Vitale to come here and judge it,” Moneta suggested. Morgan said because DSG’s constitution demands the head line monitor present the tenting policy in September, any major changes should be determined now to allow for student input. “It may be the case that people like being out there for six or seven weeks,” he said. “So if that’s the case, that’s the case, and maybe we don’t need the changes.”

MARCH 24, 2003

WAR from page 1 Sunday helicopters were seen ferrying the wounded out of the city. Meanwhile, the main force of the allied army—the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division and the Ist Marine Expeditionary Force—raced toward Baghdad, with the largest Army force passing Najaf. It paused on the approach to Kerbala for the night, about 100 miles south of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. In general, allied forces skirted centers of population, keeping their focus firmly on Baghdad. The central American objective of the war is the removal of Saddam Hussein’s government from power and the subsequent disarmament ofthe country. Lt. Gen. John Abizaid, deputy commander of forces in the region, said he would not confirm casualty figures Sunday because “first reports are almost always wrong.” President George W. Bush said he grieved with the parents of the soldiers lost in battle, but said he was confident the campaign would succeed. “I know that Saddam Hussein is losing control of

his country, that we’re slowly but surely achieving our objective,” Bush said upon returning from a weekend of war planning with his top advisers at Camp David. Abizaid raised a number of alarms about the days ahead. Intelligence reports, he said, indicated that Iraqi troops were wiring explosives to bridges in Baghdad and placing other explosives “against certain buildings in Shia neighborhoods,” implying that the Iraqi government may be preparing to inflict civilian casualties and then blame allied bombing for the damage. He also described scenes from Sunday’s fighting that appeared to enrage American commanders. In one incident, Iraqi troops raised a white flag to surrender only to attack their approaching captors with artillery fire. In another, he said, a group of civilians made motions to surrender and then opened fire when American Marines came forward. Five Marines were injured in the gun battle, officials said. Overall, the Iraqi tactics Sunday, while showing little coherent military organization, appeared to expose a potential weakness in the bold dash the American forces were making along the Tigris and Euphrates to Baghdad.

Defending freedom

After

a rapid and successful beginning to the campaign against Iraq—with coalition airstrikes against Baghdad and other areas of Iraq and in which ground troops have raced across the desert to within less than a 100 miles of the Iraqi capital—U.S. and British forces suffered their first significant casualties this weekend. In addition to engaging in heavy fighting in several Iraqi cities—notably Nasiriya—the coalition forces lost 12 soldiers from a supply convoy. These soldiers are presumed to have been captured by Iraqi forces. Images of these prisoners have been broadcast on Iraqi television, as have images of what Iraqi television says are dead American soldiers. The hearts of the nation and the world should go out to the prisoners of war, their families and the families of all casualties. These first reports that Iraq is capturing prisoners of war should raise serious concerns among the civilized world about how these prisoners will be treated. During the Gulf War, Iraq flagrantly violated the Geneva Conventions regarding the humane treatment of prisoners of war, and preliminary reports about these prisoners suggest that Iraq is once again flouting this accord. Regardless ofwhether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction which they likely do—the inhumane treatment of its prisoners of war testifies to the claim that the Iraqi regime has no regard for either international law or basic human dignity. Indeed, the Iraqi regime seems to lacks a regard for the basic value of human life. Moreover, Iraq seems to have no regard for the rules of war. Reports from the front indicate that Iraqi soldiers have been changing into civilian clothes to prevent coalition forces from distinguishing between combatants and non-combatants. Other reports suggest that some Iraqi units pretend to surrender but then do not. When Iraqis resort to such barbarous acts, it becomes far more difficult for coalition forces to minimize civilian casualties. In contrast to such actions, coalition forces have done an admirable job of limiting civilian casualties wherever possible through extraordinarily precise airstrikes. Coalition forces also have taken several thousand Iraqi prisoners of war and are treating them humanely according to the Geneva Conventions. This difference between coalition and Iraqi conduct demonstrates the fundamental divide between the coalition governments and the Iraqi regime and provides an example of the reason why the Iraqi regime must be removed. The coalition governments have a track record ofrespecting individual rights and protecting civil liberties, whereas the Iraqi regime does not even have the decency to treat prisoners of war humanely. But, from a regime that has murdered its own civilians with weapons of mass destruction, nothing more should be expected. Despite the recent casualties, the coalition must press onward with its just mission to remove Saddam Hussein from power, liberate the Iraqi people, and destroy Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. The fight will not be easy and there will be inevitable resistance, but the results will be worth the hard fight, as illustrated by the rejoicing of the Iraqi people who have so far been liberated. —

I am writing to inform members of the student body that applications for all cabinet positions including Head Line Monitor are now available in the Duke Student Government office as well as online at www.dsg.duke.edu. DSG is looking for individuals who want to make a difference in their community. Being a

member

of cabinet

will

involve working closely with members of the DSG executive committee, legislators, student groups and administrators to truly make life better here at Duke. We are looking for proactive students who will work hard to realize their goals and fulfill

their duties The selection of cabinet members is going to be slightly different this year than it has been in the past. All appointments will continue to be made by the DSG president, but this year these appointments will be the result of discussions with and recommendations from the executive committee that the student body has elected. All appointments will be confirmed by the Legislature. The Head Line Monitor selection will be done through an application and interview process that is clarified in more detail in the applications.

I strongly encourage any member ofthe student body who is interested in making a difference on campus to visit the DSG website or to stop by the DSG office and pick up a description of the positions available as well as a cabinet application. All applications are due no later than 5 p.m. Friday, March 28 to the DSG office. Please direct any questions to Matthew Slovik, DSG at president-elect, mss9@duke.edu. Thank you very much.

Charging for Central Campus parking permits unfair Finally a rising senior, I went to choose my apartment for senior year Saturday morning. Although I had the option to live on West Campus, I chose to live on Central because it was financially better: The apartments are cheaper than dorm rooms and the parking is free. What a shock it was when I walked in and found out that the parking office was going to charge us $l9O for a Central permit, the same amount as a Blue Zone pass. This upset me, and several others in the room, for two reasons. First, we had no warning that we would be charged for parking. Had I known ahead of time, I might have looked more seriously into an apartment off campus, where my landlord didn’t

charge me to park. Telling students right as they are about to sign a binding contract is unfair. Second, Central Campus is favorable for those who wish to save money on their housing expenses, especially for those who have a car on campus. This sudden permit charge is a shock, to say the least. I understand the parking office wants to keep up “maintenance on Central Campus parking lots.” I

understand that the parking office wants to prevent students from obtaining a Central parking permit for their friend, so that the friend can avoid paying for parking. However, Central parking lots have survived this many years without students having to pay to

up maintenance.” Also, with the money that the University is getting from the Blue Zone, the new Bryan Center parking lot and parking tickets, I don’t understand why they need to suddenly charge Central Campus students as well. I request that the University reconsiders the decision to suddenly charge $l9O for Central Campus parking. I would be much more content if, finding they needed to charge students for a permit, they would start at a lower amount initially—say, $50 —so that the unexpected expense would not be so much of a shock

Academically driven undergrads exist, despite claim I think I speak for many Duke undergraduates and Chronicle readers who are sick of Stuart Rojstaczer’s whiny and insulting columns. He seems to have nothing better to do than belittle the intelligence of undergraduates at Duke, saying that “Intellectually, undergraduate life at Duke is weak,” and referring to Duke as “less than a serious place” academically.

Just because some of his hydrology students may not be the most intellectually driven undergrads does not mean that such people don’t exist. If the esteemed professor does not believe that this University is a serious place for education, then why is he still here? Can he not get a job at a “serious” university? He may have some good points, such as the presence of

grade inflation, but his columns have mostly contained self-righteous complaints about Duke and Duke students. Giving a faculty member a column is an excellent idea, but The Chronicle should find someone with a little more substance and fewer whines than Rojstaczer. Jonathan Ross Trinity ’O6

Commentary

The Chronicle

As I’m writing this, Iraqi video broadcast on Al-Jeezera indicates that not only have

the Iraqis captured American soldiers, but they have executed many of them. It’s an eerie feeling, the one I have right now. On the one hand, ifI had to choose away to die, I might prefer a gunshot to the head rather than a helicopter collision, where at least one has the ability to make peace with the fact that BE_ life is ending, rather than laying dismembered on some god-

forsaken desert. Macabre pragmatism . aside, I cannot shake a Christie subtle rage. War is cerRemovmgthe tainly cruel, but the ossy Sheen Geneva Convention, of which Iraq is in blatant violation (if the reports are accurate), emerged after the mass extermination of World War 11. Summary executions are the building blocks for genocide; once individual units start killing unarmed people, be they civilian or military, the stage is set for unrelenting murder. Recent reports bring to memory the vicious scenes from Mogadishu, Somalia, when angry mobs dragged the bodies of dead U.S. soldiers through the streets after an attempt to kidnap a Somali warlord ignited urban street combat. I think America finds these kinds of images most disturbing because they represent a sort of primitive chaos. I use the word primitive deliberately, because rightly or wrongly, the Western world views civilization as progressive in its desire to escape such actions. We believe organized violence should be as professionalized as possible. Acts of police brutality, such as the 1992 Rodney King beating, alarm us greatly. Moreover, the average American, particularly of the middle and upper classes that govern our country’s political struc*“

Innocence is not free ture, rarely sees death face to face. How

many of us faint at the mere sight of blood? Many Americans will no doubt reflect the fury they feel in the upcoming days. Their anger, and probably my own as well, will increase when those most vehemently opposed to this war, who call our government greedy mercenaries out to kill for oil, say that those soldiers got what they deserved. What episodes like these illustrate is that there is a vast chasm that separates the rich and prosperous Western world from the second and third world countries that surround it. That cultural division is not religion. As much as suicide bombing cut a large red swath through Islam and its followers, I don’t think it’s a difference of religion that such inspires acts of cruelty. Christianity certainly has not spared

the West from cultural viciousness. Instead, the gap exists in this manner: The West has spent so many decades distancing itself from violence that it has forgotten how ruthless humanity has always been. This is a relatively new phenomenon. Lynchings used to occur regularly in this country. A lynching, by the way, often entailed watching a corpse bum in the street and taking teeth and fingernails as souvenirs. Although violent video games and movies bring violence into constant visibility, their effect is not the same. Seeing even the bloodiest of films, like Saving Private Ryan, or the gruesome spectacle ofthe Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., does not compare to seeing something in the face. Prosperity has brought America a certain level of distance from such realism, something our anti-war protests reflect. I have heard so many people declare how horrid it is that the United States would kill in the name of war. A lot point to the hunger and poverty that war could create in Iraq and say that our

war does more harm to the Iraqi people than anything else. I respect these sentiments very much. Profound distaste for death and suffering is not just admirable, it represents the best of what humanity is capable. When I was a child, I remember crying all the time whenever I saw something terrible. I felt so much empathy towards anyone feeling sad. My mom used to sing “You are my Sunshine” to me, and I broke down in tears when I was old enough to understand the second verse, the one

that ends “please don’t take my sunshine away.” I hope that I haven’t lost that

cence that the Western world has the luxury of having. Concerns over hunger and suffering are very important, but what about comfort and prosperity? Without these things the Middle East will always be at war. The conflict between Sunni and Shi’a Muslim, between Muslim and Jew or between any other of the ethnic groups in the

region

There no is denying that left unmolested Saddam Hussein will forever deny the Iraqi people the innocence that the Western world has the unprecedented luxury of having

innocence. I hope I never lose it. But since my childhood, and its safe schools and loving home environment, my eyes and ears have opened. I realized that I was very, very lucky. I realized that some ofmy friends didn’t have the same childhood of tranquility. Their fathers hit them, some with fists, some with frying pans. Their boyfriends had hit them, and, worse, had raped them. I learned a very, very hard lesson during my adolescence: Innocence has its price. Those opposed to the war with Iraq are welcome to feel that violence can never have good connotations (furthermore, those opposed because they think it will wreck global peace and increase terrorism can stand on what they believe is the most rational conclusion to this conflict). There is no denying that left unmolested, Saddam Hussein will forever deny the Iraqi people the inno-

end

will never

without the removal of vicious autocracies. I repeat: It will never end. Ever. We talk in this country about revolution being something a people should do on its own. I wish to bring attention to the Kurdish population. During their last attempt at revolt in

Iraq, after the U.S. encouraged them to revolt and then turned its back in cowardice in 1991, 100,000 Kurds lost their lives. It takes a generation to replace such losses and try again. The Kurds are spread across many countries, however. Each attempt at independence has been crushed by Syria, by Turkey and by Iran. Without violence, they will never have the safety of the West. Parts of Africa and Asia are suffering through the same tribal warfare as they did a millennium ago. Only the weapons have changed. Violence is therefore necessary until the majority of nations enjoy the prosperity and comfort of the West. War is necessary. America can not simply close its eyes and act like a little child.

THEO HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE interviews a Crazie

It was quite the surreal situation. As George Clinton, looking strikingly like Walt Whitman, led a Whitmanian detonation in Page Auditorium, explosions of another, less American sort, were detonating in Iraq. There was only one thing to do: begin checking everyone’s Duke IDs on Towerview Drive. Whoa, I feel safer already. Thank gosh. What I particularly like about this war as that the news still calls us “the Allies,” even though it’s just us and one other country. “Well, that’s what we were called fl in World War 11, and that was a good THEO war, so maybe now that will make this a good war!” But, among the very com- HUXTABLE’S plex issues involved in the debate on pROTpPp this war, one uncertainty screams louder than the others: Why in the Monday, Monday name of gosh is France still on the U. N. Security Council? Does anyone really think this country is important? Should anyone on Earth care what they say? About all they’ve produced in the last fifty years is a few Jean-Luc Godard films, a couple late existentialist writings and Amelie. They desperately vowed to veto any resolution relating to Iraq no matter what it said, just to show everyone how much power they have. THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE hereby passes a resolution. It says “You suck” on it. The Oscars still went on as planned, though some had worried that it would be tasteless to have women in scanty evening gowns prancing around on red carpets while soldiers were dying across the globe. Which I guess makes the argument that it was tasteful every other year to have women in scanty evening gowns prancing around on red carpets while thousands died every day in developing countries of curable diseases and starvation.

The NCAA basketball tournaments have gone on as well. The Duke men’s team has advanced to the Sweet 16 yet again, but students aren’t exactly thrilled this year.
