Duke taps Reese Speakers/ sans Secretary-General/ as new OIE V.R inspire graduates By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

By CINDY YEE

President Nan Keohane appointed Benjamin Reese last week to succeed Sally Dickson as vice president for institutional equity on an interim basis until Dec. 2004. Among his major goals, Reese said he will work to devote attention to employees and staff members who may have previously lacked access to promotion-

al and professional development opportunities. He said he also looks forward to pursuing the leadership role ofthe Office of Institutional Equity on diversity initiatives and responding to the upcoming report on the recruitment and reten-

Benjamin Reese tion of minority faculty. Reese, assistant vice president for cross-cultural relations since 1996, said OIE is at a crucial and challenging point in its efforts to promote diversity and equity at the University. “We’ve made significant gains in the whole area of diversity and equity and equal opportunity at Duke,” he said. “As is often the case with organizational change, when you get into those secondary and tertiary stages... the road gets tougher.” Dickson, who is departing to take a position at Stanford University, said the job of vice president for institutional equity is difficult because it has immense jurisdiction, serving the entire University and Health System. As a result, a key part ofthe job is determining priorities. “It’s very important to look at the resources that are available—identifying allies and identifying those areas in which you can really make a difference,” Dickson said. “There are so many things that one can do, and one is called upon to have priorities.”

It was a humid, overcast Mother’s Day, but that did not stop an estimated 18,000 people from watching as the University conferred 3,558 undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees Sunday. Laryngitis prevented United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, scheduled speaker and honorary degree recipient, from delivering the commencement address at the University’s 151st commencement ceremony. Students still received his message when President Nan Keohane read selections from Annan’s prepared remarks. A number of Sunday’s honorary degree recipients advised the May, September and December graduates to take a more global view as they took their next steps into the world. Not surprisingly, the United States’ recent war with Iraq seemed to be on many of the speakers’ minds. In Annan’s prepared speech, he wrote that it is no longer possible to think only in terms of one’s own country. “Issues that once seemed very far away are very much in your backyard,” he wrote. “What happens in South America or Southern Africa—from democratic advances to deforestation to the fight against AlDS—can affect your lives here in North Carolina. And your choices here—what you buy, how you vote—can resound far away. As someone once said about water pollution, we all live downstream.” Annan also applauded the graduates for turning an anemic job market to their own benefit. “I understand that many of you have used these uncerSee GRADUATION on page 11

Trustees approve budget, elect Nicholas as chair By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

The Board of Trustees approved the budget for the 2003-2004 academic year and reappointed or elected a plethora of University officials, among other business, during its annual May meetings

last weekend. The $749 million balanced operating budget represents a 7.2 percent increase over the 2002-2003 budget. The University’s overall budget totals $1,334 billion, when funds restricted for specific purposes and sponsored research funding are included. The budget includes the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing, but excludes Duke Hospital, which is included in a separate spending plan for the Duke University Health System. The new budget includes a 5 percent increase in the standard undergraduate tuition, fees, room and board total to

$37,555. Income from tuition and fees from all schools will account for nearly half of unrestricted revenues, or $370.1 million, an increase of 9.2 percent over the current year’s budget, On the expense side of the budget, non-payroll operating and administrative expenses increased by $16.7 million, or 15.2 percent. Each of Duke’s schools—with the exception of Arts and Sciences, which is drawing on $1.4 million from reserves, and the Fuqua School of Business, which is drawing on $BOO,OOO from reserves—submitted a balanced budget within its annual revenue stream. The Nursing School is budgeting an excess of $BOO,OOO, which is attributable to a high yield in its master’s program and the successful launch of its bachelor of science in nursing program. Salary and benefits will increase by $23 million, or 5.8 percent over the

Duke Hospital establishes Jesica Santillan Fund By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

Duke Hospital announced May 8 that it will establish a $4 million perpetual fund honoring the memory of Jesica Santillan. The fund, endorsed by Santillan’s mother, will provide additional support services for Latino pediatric patients at the Hospital. Santillan died in February after undergoing two heart-lung transplantations at the Hospital. The 17year-old native of Mexico was the center of a national media frenzy after doctors discovered she had received incompatible organs in her first transplantation due to procedural errors. Despite criticism from Mack Mahoney—who served as a spokesperson for the Santillan family during and after the ordeal—that the Hospital was using the fund to justify Santillan’s death, Hospital CEO Dr. William Fulkerson said the establishment of the fund stemmed from a desire to create a positive legacy for Santillan. “This wasn’t done for reputational damage issues,” Fulkerson said. “It was done because of everyone’s desire here to have a legacy for this. In this particular instance, the legacy will be to have a fund that can meet the needs of families of children here that often have special needs, and which we try to support.” Dr. Ralph Snyderman, president and CEO of Duke

DESIG

E o

University Health System, agreed that the fund was not created to address reputational or even legal damages that may have been caused by Santillan’s death. Katie Pomerans—a senior fellow and former presi-

dent of El Pueblo, a North Carolina non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the Latino community—said she does not believe that local Latinos have placed blame on the Hospital for Santillan’s death. “Most people understand that it was a tragic accident, a human mistake,” Pomerans said. “However, it is still good for Duke to look for away of giving back to the community. This was really an outstanding idea because it will be helpful to so many families in the future.” An advisory committee, comprised of representatives from the clergy, Latino community and Duke Children’s Hospital, will be established to help direct how the Hospital spends the fund money. Fulkerson said the committee members, by virtue of being part of the local Latino community, will be able to provide good insights into how the money can be used effectively. Snyderman said he expects the fund will help support the social needs of indigent Latino patients in services such as temporary housing, food and social and pastoral services. “We have had social support services at Duke for as

long as anybody can remember,” Snyderman said. ‘What Jesica and her family had were social workers and translators. Our feeling was a social worker who was really tied in and closely related to the Latino community and the Durham area would be extremely useful to someone like Jesica.” Andrea Bazan-Manson, executive director of El Pueblo, confirmed that the Latino community has been very supportive of the Hospital’s creation of the fund. “It was the spirit in which this was presented to us that really impressed me,” Bazan-Manson said. “As a group we’ve never really demanded anything special or different. The fact that this came from Duke, and not anything we requested, makes it that much more meaningful.” Although Susan Gilbertson, executive director of Catholic Social Ministries, also applauded the Hospital for the “wonderfully generous fund,” she added that she hopes there will someday be a similar fund for all low-income families, instead of one exclusively for Latino families. The Hospital considered more general—as well as more specific—options when trying to decide how to honor Santillan’s memory, Snyderman said. Other See JESICAFUND on page 10

Academic integrity Academic Council debates diversity tops A&S agenda By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

The Arts and Sciences Council devoted its final meeting of the year to academic integrity, as issues of policy formulation, education and punishment were all discussed in equal measure. Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe took the first steps toward revising the long-debated dean’s excuse policy for short-term illnesses, creating a committee to propose a new protocol. Significantly, Chafe’s charge works off the premise that the student—not a health care worker or dean—is the only person who can determine whether he or she is too ill to complete an assignment or test. “We’re basically talking about trying to generate a new approach of trust,” Chafe said. The move comes after Director of Student Health Dr. Bill Christmas announced last fall that health care workers would no longer issue medical excuses to students, calling the system a “charade” that conflicts with the University’s honor code and places unnecessary burdens on students and Student Health. Furthermore, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a newly implemented law necessitating additional paperwork for patients, makes the existing dean’s excuse policy even more untenable. Debate on the proposal centered around what the role of the dean’s office should be. Some said the deans need to remain informed about absences to detect problematic patterns. In response, one dean noted that instructors are usually best able to detect such patterns. In the end, the faculty voted 18 to one in favor of creating the committee. Following the vote, Dean of Judicial Affairs Kacie Wallace offered an update of academic judicial statistics See ARTS

SCIENCES on page 10

By KENNETH REINKER The Chronicle meeting its last of the academic year, the AcaIn demic Council heard reports from task forces on women’s issues and diversity issues. The groups recommended that the University establish a standing committee to examine diversity issues. Susan Roth, chair of the Women’s Initiative task force, outlined some of the challenges women face at the-University. Among these challenges are a fall-off in female with Ph.D.s pursuing research, narrowly defined faculty searches that exclude women, a lack of mentoring for women and a sense of isolation that some women feel in the workforce, Roth said. In order to address these issues, she proposed that the University establish programs to provide more mentoring to both faculty and graduate students, build a stronger sense of community among female faculty and broaden faculty searches to allow for the hiring of more women. Roth also recommended a greater emphasis on retaining women through such methods as conducting exit interviews for female faculty to discern their reasons for leaving. Some council members pointed out that Roth’s task force had omitted data from the School of Nursing, which is overwhelmingly female. Roth said this omission was intentional because the study was meant to highlight the difficulties many women at the University encounter. John Staddon, James B. Duke professor of psychological and brain sciences, challenged the task force’s recommendation against narrowly defined searches, asking Roth if she was “not at all uncomfortable that the disciplinary mix ofthe University... will be guided by [gender concerns] Speaking for the diversity task force, Rex Adams, former dean of the Fuqua School of Business, pointed out that the University’s strategic plan emphasizes the importance of diversity. “We take seriously the need... for everyone with a voice in selecting and developing faculty to assume

responsibility for helping Duke develop greater diversity in the faculty ranks,” he said. Adams also said that because Duke’s faculty is not notably diverse, and because the rate of increase in diversity is slow at a time when overall faculty growth will be low, every opportunity for hiring and advancement must consider diversity. Many council members voiced their concerns about the task force’s suggestion that diversity play a greater role in the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure process. Barry Myers, associate professor of biomedical engineering, argued that the APT process is inherently an individualistic evaluation and that race or another form of diversity should not be used as a metric in evaluating individuals. Instead, diversity should be promoted through methods such as greater emphasis on retention of minority and female faculty members, Myers said. James Rolleston, professor of Germanic languages and literature, echoed Myers’ sentiments, also warning against transforming the pursuit of diversity into a bureaucratic monster. “At the APT it shouldn’t be a question of plus and minus points for activities like [promoting diversity],” Rolleston said. He emphasized that the most important aspect in the APT process should be the candidate’s work. Other council members opposed a requirement that faculty work for diversity on personal freedom grounds, arguing that this condition would essentially ask that faculty hold certain religious or ideological beliefs in order to get tenure. Others questioned the assumption made by the task forces that diversity is in and of itself a good thing. In his remarks closing the meeting, Provost Peter Lange said he was reluctant to incorporate diversity into the APT process. IN OTHER BUSINESS: Lange announced the See DIVERSITY on page 9

THURSDAY,

White Sox GIVFs sons arrested Two sons of the general manager of the Chicago White Sox, in town for Duke graduation ceremonies, were arrested graduation weekend on charges of breaking into two cars. At 2:41 a.m. May 10, Duke and Durham Police received calls about two males breaking into vehicles at 301 and 302 Oregon Street and 314 Anderson Street. A Durham officer came upon the suspects, and when they saw him, they dropped a black bag and ran. He chased them into the 314 Anderson complex where he overheard them pleading with a resident in one of the

apartments to allow them to enter. Durham officers arrived and arrested both suspects for breaking into three vehicles. The suspects were Dedrick Williams, 21, and Kenny Williams, 16. A fourth vehicle belonging to a student was broken into at 312 Anderson, believed to be connected to

the aforementioned incidents. The Associated Press reported that Ken Williams of Plainfield, 111., the White Sox’s general manager, bailed out his sons before they were booked into Durham County jail. Williams was in town for the graduation of his daughter, Temeka, on Sunday.

Student busted by police impersonators A student in House AA reported that he had two encounters in his room with men who claimed to be undercover vice police officers. The incidents took place between April 26 and April 29. He said they told him that they were aware he dealt drugs and demanded drugs, money and the names of other students who dealt drugs. He gave them $3,000 and drugs. The men threatened to take him to jail if he was caught again and left. They returned April 29, forced him into his room and would not let him leave until he gave up more money, drugs or names of other drug dealers. They took $5OO from him and searched his room for drugs and money. Police officers do not perform their duties in this manner, Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department said. “Normally, any law enforcement officer who wishes to investigate a student will contact Duke Police for assistance,” he said. The first suspect is described as a black male, 25 to 30 years old, s’B”, 190 pounds, with very short hair, tattoos on both arms—one on the forearm with the word “pain”—and a huge scar running vertically down his face. The second suspect is described as a black male, 20 years old, 6’3”, with a baby face, medium-dark complexion, average to medium build and diamond earrings. The third suspect is described as a black male, 20 years old, dark complexion, Afro hairstyle about one to two inches in length, wearing a striped shirt and resembling basketball player Michael Finley.

CRIME BRIEFS From staff reports

11:45 a.m. May 3, while her vehicle was parked in the Blue Zone, someone scratched the words “AC=Slut” into the driver’s side door. The word “Whore” was scratched into the rear left door. Scratches were also left on the hood as well as left front and rear quarter panels. Damage was estimated at $2,000.

Defecation reported A student reported that between 3 and 9 a.m. April 23, someone entered her unsecured room in Wannamaker I dormitory while she and her roommate were asleep, and defecated on her chair and carpet.

Fight escalates among employees

At 6:57 p.m. May 10, Duke officers responded to a report of an employee altercation in progress at the East Union Building. Upon arrival, it was learned that dining services employees were hav-

MAY 15, 2003 � PAGh

ing a May celebration behind the East Union, and were engaged in a water fight. This resulted in a female employee reporting that after a disagreement about the water, a male employee picked her up and threw her against the metal rolling door at the

loading dock. She was able to obtain a warrant for assault on a female for Dwight R. Parham, DOB June 2,1967. According to Parham, he had repeatedly told the victim to stop throwing water on his wife. He said he attempted to take the hose away from the victim and that a struggle ensued until another employee intervened. He said he did not hit or push the victim, and that the struggle was over the hose only. He was given a June 10 court date. None of those involved could be reached for comment.

Crime briefs are compiled from Duke University Police Department reports. Anyone with knowledge about those responsible for these or other crimes at the University can contact Lt. Davis Trimmer at 684-4713 or Durham CrimeStoppers at 683-1200.

According to The Herald-Sun, Jean-Baptiste’s lawyer said her client was exhilarated that justice had been served. “Hopefully the students will get on with their lives,” she said. Njoku will still face charges later this month pertaining to the incident: false imprisonment, assault on a female and interference with emergency communications in the incident. Kacie Wallace, associate dean for judicial affairs, said the Undergraduate Judicial Board is still working through the three students’ cases, despite their acquittals in District Court. “We run our own process regardless of what the outcome in the criminal process is,” Wallace said. “We

Crumpton testified in court that he and Mitchell had fought briefly at a March 30 party after the National Pan-Hellenic Council step show in the Great Hall, according to The Herald-Sun. Duke Police officers escorted the two outside and asked that Crumpton leave the campus. Crumpton testified that later that evening he re-

Crumpton said that when he saw Jean-Baptiste and Mitchell in Edens, Mitchell tried to instigate another fight. “I said [to Jean-Baptiste and Mitchell], T got something in the [car] trunk,’” Crumpton testified, saying he implied he had a gun because he felt threatened. He added that he never had a gun, according to The Herald-Sun. Crumpton testified that the fight broke out after Jean-Baptiste threw a beer can at him and Mitchell began to punch him. Crumpton said Mitchell, JeanBaptiste and Njoku—all members ofAlpha Phi Alpha fraternity—repeatedly kicked and hit him in his chest, back, arms and face for several minutes while he lay on the ground. The three Duke students testified that Njoku and Jean-Baptiste did not punch or kick Crumpton, although Jean-Baptiste admitted to throwing his beer at Crumpton, a member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity at NCCU. Mitchell and Jean-Baptiste also testified that they thought Crumpton had a gun—a factor Mitchell’s attorney said justified Mitchell’s use of force.

He said he will draw upon these two occupational experiences to prepare for his new role. “By temperament and training as a

psychologist and a diversity practitioner, I think I’m a good listener,” he said. “I pride myself on being able to understand multiple perspectives, whether they are influenced by cultural background, gender or life experience. I think that my work as a psychologist will result in me thinking about systems as well as individuals in a more focused way.” During his tenure as assistant vice president, Reese helped create a di-

[President] Nan Keohane felt Mrs. Santillan resonated particularly strongly with this particular option.” The Hospital will launch the fund by committing to donate $1 million over the next five years, making $50,000 per year immediately available to needy Latino patients and their families. The hospital will also start a five-year fund-raising effort. When fully realized, the fund is expected to generate $200,000 per year.

and analyzed several quantitative and qualitative trends. The number of cases continued to rise this year, as 44 cases were adjudicated, up from 36 four years ago. Of this number, all referrals were from faculty—none from students—a ratio that Wallace hopes will even out. “Students are really looking to the faculty to bring these cases forward,” she said. “Our hope is that the Community Standard [to be implemented this fall] will change that.” Wallace also noted that most cases of academic dishonesty now involve plagiarism, not cheating. A 70 to 30 ratio exists this year in favor of plagiarism, compared to an even split last year. Judicial Affairs also appears to be weighing the severity of the crime more deliberately than in years past, Wallace said, as shown by the increased use of the one-term suspension as punishment.

Completing the academic integrity trifecta, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Judith Ruderman spoke about the new Community Standard and efforts to educate faculty and others about its implications. She said members of the Academic Integrity Council have given brief presentations to approximately 40 departments, information has been published in print and on a new website and President Nan Keohane agreed to make academic integrity one of the foci ofher address to incoming students next fall, among other educational measures.

In subsequent discussion, Professor of History John Richards wondered aloud whether a direct correlation existed between academic integrity and the intellectual vitality sought by many at the University. Ruderman responded favorably to this idea. “All I can say is ‘Amen, brother.’ I hope you are right.” at

This year, honorary degrees were awarded to US. Navy Admiral Frank “Skip” Bowman; artist, author and feminist Judy Chicago; physician and scientist Dr. Richard Klausner and dance leader Charles Reinhart. In his address, Bowman honored the valor of the Marines who fought in Iraq and advised the graduates to practice selflessness in all walks of life. “Live your lives, not for yourselves or the benefits bestowed, but for the common good,” Bowman said. “Do this, and you will pass on to the next generation a world much better than your own.” Chicago stressed the importance of art as a medium for positive change. One comment in particular drew a spirited reaction from the crowd; “Had the importance of art been better understood, then perhaps our troops would have been instructed to guard the Baghdad museum as well or better than the Iraqi oil fields,” she said. Klausner spoke on the importance ofknowledge used well, contemporizing a message printed over the entrance to a Buddhist temple in Hawaii; “There is a key to heaven and there is a key to hell, and that key is knowledge.” He told graduates that in an age ofAIDS, SARS and bioterrorism, “it is only science practiced openly and freely in societies that value knowledge, that value and sustain openness and human dignity, that will protect us all from nature’s bioterrorism and from man’s bioterrorism.” For a marked change of pace during Sunday’s commencement ceremony, Reinhart spoke on the power of dance and performed a tribal rain dance as the audience looked with a mix of amusement and apprehension at the cloudy skies. While most of the speakers asked graduates to look to the future and the roles they will play in a worldAnnan said is “at a critical juncture,” this year’s selected student speaker, Terry Schuster, Trinity ’O3, narrated a story of loss and remembrance as students moved to the next stage of life. “You were out with your friends the other night, and when the bar stopped serving drinks, you all went back to your place,” Schuster said. “Your dorm or house or apartment was already starting to look like it did when you first moved in.... And you thought to yourself that you would never again have this group of people around you in this place, and that even if you did, it could never again feel like this. Why does this night have to end?”

Schuster added, however, that graduation also means taking a new outlook on life. “You might hear, ‘Today is the first day of the rest of your life,”’ he said. “And although the phrase itself is stupid, and you’ve heard it a thousand times before, it seems to mean something to you today.”

Duke coaches mixed on expansion To expand or not to expand

Coaches have varying thoughts on the future of the 12-conference ACC, ranging from increased travel time to increased media coverage By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

While the film Matrix: Reloaded seems destined for both critical and commercial success this week, the ACC: Reloaded will inevitably have a more perilous future. The league will attempt to lure the University of Miami (FL), Syracuse and either Boston College or Virginia Tech from East Big the Conference as early as

With the only question regarding the ACC’s expansion being who will join, rather than if the conference will expand, several Duke coaches spoke out yesterday with mixed opinions regarding the consequences of Tuesday’s vote. Despite the much-publicized ramifications that will be felt in basketball and football, the ripples that will be result for the “Olympic” sports could be much more considerable. It is in these sports that conference divisions are less likely—as would be the case for basketball and football. The most prevalent concern among the coaches was that of extensive travel, which equates to less time in the classroom for student-athletes. “The impact of travel and on class missed has been minimal [in the current conference set-up],” women’s soccer head coach Robbie Church wrote in an e-mail. “As the conference expands, so does the required time to travel to events, impacting class time missed.” Another potential issue raised was fiscally based. “I am concerned about the short-term financial implications of increased travel, about incoming revenue to each mem See COACHES on page-20

This is an e-mail about the plan, but several pros and cons are already becoming apparent. One positive for the conference is that its already improving football reputation will get a giant adrenaline shot if the Big East schools enter the league, as the talent level across the conference will rise immediately. In addition to the bragging rights and BCS points that are on the line, an ACC Florida State and Miami match-up will also play a big part in determining a conference title.

No. 1 women’s golf looks to repeat as champions After claiming a third consecutive East Region title, the Blue Devils appear primed to repeat By MIKE COREY

Clemmons, N.C. Duke’s victories come in many shapes and sizes—either sizzling individual scores or unbeatable team lows bring head coach Dan Brooks wins—and at the East Regional, it was the Blue Devils’ depth that spurred Duke to the title. “To win the East Regional and not have anyone in the top three and have nobody higher than 19 is pretty exciting,” Brooks said last week. “It shows we are going to go into nationals with five golfers all of whom can all finish very high at the championship. That is exciting.” Indeed, the Blue Devils have a great deal to celebrate. Their final tally of 857 was just three strokes off the program’s school record, and is their best team

tively. The balance is Duke’s strength. “We have interesting scoring averages on our team,” Brooks said. “They are between 73.4 to 74.5. There is about a one shot difference between one and five throughout the year. That means in any given tournament any individual can win. It is really fun to coach this group because of that, you never know who is going to get hot.” The NCAA field awaiting them in West Lafayette, Ind., is hoping Duke fizzles, and fizzles quickly. The Blue Devils will attempt to defend their titles—both Nirapathpongporn’s individual championship and Duke’s team title—when they travel to Purdue University for the NCAA Championships May 20 to May 23. “From a game development point, we are right where we need to be right now. We have one week to tune things up and we know exactly what we are working on. We have already made progress in those areas.

Mississippi up next for King, No. 9 men’s tennis By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

For nine consecutive seasons, the men’s tennis team has advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. This year, the Blue Devils (22-5) eased by High Point and conference foe Wake Forest with a pair of easy 4-0 victories last week. Duke, ranked ninth nationally, is slated to take on No. 8 Mississippi Saturday morning, May 17 in Athens, Ga. The road to the Peach State was relatively easy. In an intrastate matchup, the Blue Devils made quick work of outmatched High Point (14-3) in the opening round. Duke boasts two of the nation’s best players in Phillip King and Michael Yani, and the two picked up a total of three victories on the day. Individually, the two are ranked No. 25 and No. 35, respectively. As a duo, the tandem is third in America. “I thought High Point was a good team,” thirteen-year head coach Jay Lapidus said after the match. “They played good doubles and were stronger than I thought they would be. I thought we played pretty well. It was very, very hot out there today and considering the conditions I thought the kids played well.” Still, this was the farthest any High Point tennis team had ever advanced, having qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time. As such, Lapidus was elated with the way his team kicked off postseason play. Against No. 28 Wake Forest, senior Michael Yani made the most ofhis finale at Duke’s Ambler Tennis Stadium. His 63, 6-4 victory over Derrick Spice at sec-

ond singles clinched the Blue Devils’ win and its place in the Sweet 16. But perhaps more importantly, Lapidus’ squad came out and dominated the Demon Deacons in doubles, scoring wins at the No. 1 and, No. 3 courts to claim the first point ofthe match. “I thought we played really well in doubles today,” Lapidus said. “If we could get the doubles point under our belts, I felt pretty confident that we could win three of the six singles matches. Our doubles are getting better and better.” Indeed, if the Blue Devils want to get past Mississippi, doubles will be crucial as no one court will be a lock for Duke. But against Wake Forest, even Wake Forest knew what to expect: an easy Duke win. “Their tradition has been that they expect to win,” Wake Forest head coach Jeff Zinn said. “That’s a trademark of a very, very good team. Tennis is all mental, and the mental toughness factor of Duke is phenomenal.” Individually, Phillip King and

Michael Yani will represent the Blue Devils in the NCAA championships, also being held in Georgia.

With only three wins in the past month, the Blue Devils will be striving to bring some success to its hard-pressed season.

of the season.

Unfortunately, those batting for the Blue Devils are planning to see Trent Peterson on the mound. Peterson will be starting his 16th game of the year with a 2.55 ERA. Matt Lynch, another possible FSU pitcher tonight, has also started 15 games, but fortunately for Duke, has only a 4.00 ERA. Although Duke was able to- keep Florida State at bay in their last meeting at Jack Coombs Field, Florida State has prevailed in the last four games ofthe series. Of course these wins did not come without the help of players like Eddy Martinez-Est, Blake Balkcom, and Tony Richie. Richie has managed 67 hits, and an amazing 10 homeruns, and Eddy Martinez-Est with a .367 batting average. Fortunately for the Blue Devils, Brian Patrick has been showing promise with a .339 batting average and a total of six homeruns. In the Blue Devil’s win against Clemson on May 5, Patrick had one hit and one run. Like Patrick, Murray and Caradonna have both scored in all 47 games in which they have played. The series will continue Friday at 7:00 p.m. and then finalize Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The series will be

hosted at Jack Coombs Field. The Blue Devils will finish up their season with the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, which begin on May 20, and will take place in Salem, Virginia.

Another year, another regional invitation for golf By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

The NCAA Regional tournament and the Championships are no stranger to the men’s golf team. But it’s been a while since Duke has made it near the pinnacle of the game, with the pro-

gram’s highest finish ever coming in 1947 when the Blue Devils placed second. In addition, the men’s golfers have not made it past the Regionals since 1999. The best Duke has ever done at the Regional level was in 1997, when the Blue Devils came in fourth place. Duke may struggle to reverse this trend beginning today at Auburn University Club in Auburn, Ala., where they are seeded thirteenth in the East Region. Competition will be stiff for Duke, especially considering the team’s recent fifth-place finish at the ACC Championships. Leading the way for Duke will be freshman Ryan Blaum, recently awarded for his stellar debut season with ACC Rookie of the Year honors. Blaum, who hails from Coral Gables, Fla., is Duke’s top scorer with an average of 72.6, and has placed in the top-10 and top-20 more than any of his teammates. Thus far, Blaum’s crowning

achievement came at the Mercedes Benz Collegiate Championships in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., where he tied for medalist honors with a 211. The Blue Devils remain hopeful that they can qualify for the NCAA Championships based on their successful fall season where they won The Nelson golf tournament and earned a No. 6 national ranking. At the time, senior Leif Olson was ranked 28th nationally, and Blaum was 55th. In addition, the Blue Devils will rely on senior Leif Olson, who was Duke’s best scorer at the ACC Championships where he placed 12th. Duke is currently ranked No. 29 in America according to a compilation on golfstats.com.

IC4As, ECACs in sights No. 3 women’s lax upset for track and field teams by Buckeyes in Ist round By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

The men’s and women’s track and field teams head to Princeton, N.J., this weekend to compete in the IC4A and ECAC Championships. The men will participate in the IC4As while the women run in the ECACs. The pair of meets is the penultimate achievement for many Blue Devils, as they work all year to qualify for the prestigious events —the NCAA Regionals and Championships are the final goal. In order to earn a place in either the IC4A or ECAC Championships, an athlete must meet a qualifying time or mark that has been set prior to the beginning of the season. On the women’s side, a bevy of individuals will represent the Duke contingent. Janay McKie qualified in three individual events, all sprints: the 100meter dash, 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash. McKie will not only be looking to place well at the meet, but will also be looking to lower her school records in the 100 and 200.

Lauren Matic, Duke’s top middle-distance qualifier, is slated to compete in the 800-meter run and the 1500-meter run. The long-distance will be better represented, as Elizabeth Wort and Laura Stanley each will participate in the 3,000-meter race, and Clara Horowitz in the 5,000-meter run. Hurdler Jenna Turner, a school-record

holder in the 100-meter hurdles, qualified in both the 100 and 400-meter events. In the field, Laura Chen will look to outleap the competition, as she has already qualified for the NCAA regional with an impressive jump of 12-9 1/4 earlier this season. Ginny Stone will compete in the hammer throw after qualifying with a heave of 159-11. The strength of the men’s team is its distance medley relay, once-ranked in the top five in the nation in 2003. The foursome, comprised of lan Bill Casey Reardon, Cronin, Spierdowis and Nick Schneider has already recorded a blistering mark of 7:26.43, a number they intend to drop at the IC4As. Schneider also qualified in the 1,500-meter race. Two other runners will represent Duke in individual events, as Donny Fowler will compete in the 800-meter race, and Michael Hatch will run in both the 1,500 and 3,000-meter runs. Brent Warner will be Duke’s lone field representative, as he qualified with an impressive jump of 16’5.

10 It’s just been that kind of year for the Duke 7 Ohio State Buckeyes. In the same season its football team won an improbable national championship over heavily favored Miami, its No. 11 women’s lacrosse team (14-3) upset a loaded Blue Devils team 10-7 last Thursday in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Despite playing at home and fielding a team with at least five AllAmerican candidates, No. 4 Duke (135) was unable to slow the inspired Buckeye attack. Heading into the game, Ohio State Ohio State

head coach Sue Stimmel anticipated a well-rounded Blue Devil team. Yet her confidence remained in Ohio State’s offensive capabilities. “The key is to get started right,” Stimmel told The Columbus Dispatch before the game. “We need to get our scorers going early. If we can get the first goal, we'll relax and our offense

will be there.” Freshman phenom Katie Chrest got the Blue Devils ahead early on, however, and then her older teammates—AllAmericans Kate Kaiser and Lauren Gallagher—each scored to give the preseason No. 1 Blue Devils a 3-1 advantage. But then the luck of the Buckeyes took over. Ohio State put together six consecutive goals over the final 20 minutes ofthe

opening half and the beginning ofthe second stanza to take control of the contest with a commanding 7-3 lead. Another Kaiser goal was then nullified by a pair of Buckeye scores, giving the Blue Devils a 9-4 deficit with just 11:04 remaining. The Blue Devils mounted a small rally, closing to 9-7 on the strength of two Gallagher scores and a goal from Jessica Bennett. Ohio State perse-

vered, however, punctuating the upset with a goal with less than three minutes remaining. The loss marks the final game for several oft-awarded Blue Devils. Kaiser is one of the most heralded players in ACC lacrosse history; Gallagher is a two-time All-American; Australian World Cup team member Meg Barnett; and significant contributors Erin O’Shaughnessy, Jessica Bennet and Carrie Starr. Their career was not supposed to end this way, however, in such disappointing and hasty fashion. Duke came into the season as every lacrosse pundit’s favorite to win the national title. They not only had the return of AllAmerican and Tewaaraton Trophy candidate Kaiser from ACL surgery, but also the addition of the nation’s top freshman, Chrest. In addition, Duke was healthy across the board and overflowing with talent and confidence. But with yet another strong recruiting class coming in, the Blue Devils will be looking forward to 2004 with a vengeance.

FSU still had a pretty good season. But if the expansion occurs, a loss to Miami would significantly hurt the Seminoles chance at grabbing the ACC crown. Now the loss means loss of bragging rights, loss of BCS points and the loss of the ACC crown, something the Seminoles consider their birth right. The Miami-FSU game would then drastically determine the fates of both of their seasons, making it the most exciting regular season college football game in the country. Adding to the basketball rivalries the North Carolina-Duke-Maryland match-ups create on the hardwood, the ACC would have hands down the best combination of pigskin and basketball rivalries. A decided con of the expansion would be the impact it would have on the student athletes. Everyone is talking about is how the expansion will affect ACC fans and finances, but everyone is forgetting how it will affect the most important aspect ofACC athletics: its athletes. Adding Miami, Syracuse and probably Boston College to the ACC mix greatly expands the geographic grasp ofthe conference. Right now the most northern school in the conference is Maryland, and the most southern is Florida State, which is located in the northwest region of the Sunshine State. After the expansion, the league would stretch from the southernmost tip of Florida to Boston, thus increasing travel time—and time out of class. There are other important factors in determining how well the expansion will go, such as how the termination of the home and away round robin regular season affects ACC basketball and how the dismantling of the Big East's biggest money makers will affect college athletics as a whole, but many of these factors could become moot as things are just getting started.

disadvantage competitively. “Will Miami divide up the sprint points that are currently going to Clemson and UNC and FSU?” Ogilvie wrote. “Will Boston College make the distances even tougher in an already brutally tough distance conference? [However], expansion could also be very good for the ACC in the long term. We just don’t know

at this time.”

It should be noted that each coach was clearly optimistic regarding the vote. The agreement or disagreement with the future of the ACC was not to advance personal vendettas or grudges; rather, each coach expressed personal opinions reflective of a greater care for their student-athletes, their programs, and Duke University as a whole, irregardless oftheir opinion on

the expansion proposal. “I am in favor of expansion for two main reasons,” Kimel wrote in an e-mail. “First, adding Miami and any combination of Syracuse, Boston College or Virginia Tech then makes the ACC eligible for an automatic bid in women’s lacrosse. We are by far the strongest women’s lacrosse conference in the country, yet we haven’t been eligible for an [automatic bid] because we have only had four teams. Second...! applaud leaders who have the foresight to think outside of the box. I think that the [ACC] commissioner [John Swofford] feels a huge sense ofresponsibility to put the ACC, and its member schools, in a position where they can and should be major players on the college athletic scene for years to come.” Rennie expressed similar support butfor different reasons, calling expansion a “much needed shot in the arm.” The anticipated impact on recruiting was also mixed, but the coaches did believe that the ACC would open itself up to more media markets, therefore making it more readily accessible to being viewed as a leader in academics and athletics. “The image and clout ofthe ACC would be greatly helped by adding the right teams such as is being discussed,” Rennie wrote.

‘Jesica Fund’ right move

Last

week, Duke Hospital announced the creation of a $4 million fund in honor offailed heart-lung transplant patient Jesica Santillan. While the fund in no way makes up for the mistakes leading to Jesica’s death, it will serve to increase support services available to Latino families seeking medical treatment in the future. Access to the fund will be limited to immigrant Latino families like the Santillans. It will provide support services including temporary housing, food and interpreters to young Latino patients and their families. By chosing the current plan, Duke is correctly acknowledging the obstacles faced specficially by immigrant families who attempt to obtain medical treatment in the United States The percentage of Latino in the community is continuing to grow rapidly, and demand for the services provided by the Jesica fund will be high. The establishment of the fund is an honorable act in memory of Jesica and her family, and will serve to benefit future patients who seek medical treatment at Duke. However, it will remain a positive gesture only as long as Duke does not attempt to leverage the fund in the courtroom, or in the court ofpublic opinion, to lessen its responsibility for her death. The fault was clearly Duke’s, and members of the medical community must not lose sight of that fact

Parental leave policy long overdue

During

its last meeting of the 2002-2003 year, the Academic Council approved changes to the University’s parental leave and tenure-clock relief policies. These changes have been a long time coming, and will result in major benefits for faculty members and their families Under the new plan annoucned by Provost Peter Lange, a one semester or three month leave will now be granted with pay to faculty memebrs, with no tenure-associated penalties, in the event of the birth of a child, the birth of a spouse’s child, or in the event of adoption. Previously, as specified by the plan in effect since 1989, the adoption of a child did not entitle a faculty member to a paid leave. However, adopted children and their parents must undergo adjustment and socialization periods just as long, if not longer than those of other families. By extending the policy, adoption will be encouraged and will become a more feasible option for Duke professors. The parental leave policy also specifies that for a three month or semester-long paid leave to be granted, the child adopted must be under the age of six. Lange cited six as the age where most children begin to attend school, and thus spend less time during any given day at home. Some age limit must be specified in the policy, but determining an age at which a child requires less attention is difficult, especially in the case ofadoption. If the age had been capped higher, at 18, parents would be assurred the opporunity to give children ofall ages the level of attention deemed necessary during pivotal points in their child’s development. These new policies have brought Duke in line with many of its peer institutions which offer similar leave packages to faculty members. The next step in the process is extending such plans to University staff and employees. These changes will make Duke more appealing to young faculty and staff members whose employment decisions may be based around starting families.

Saudis’ Prodigal Son WASHINGTON We’ve had our regime change in the Middle East. Now Qaida terrorists want theirs.

Maureen Dowd Guest Commentary Even before

al-Qaida claimed credit for the

explosions ripping through Riyadh Monday night, the Saudi princes were frightened and seeking American help. They were scared that al-Qaida, which they once used to deflect resentment away from their own corruption, had succeeded in infiltrating various levels of society, including in the government. The problem with Saudi Arabia is that it is such an opaque society, you can never be sure what is going on there from the outside—and apparently it is not spectacularly transparent from the inside, either. U.S. intelligence analysts warned the Saudis that an attack on American interests in the kingdom was coming. The Saudis reacted the way they typically do, defensively. The antiAmerican chatter had become such a din in the last two weeks that the State Department had warned Americans not to travel there. The Saudi princes reluctantly began an investigation into the possible Qaida plot. But even in such a repressed and repressive state, Saudi security forces could not stop the terrorists. They tried to seize an Islamic militant cell with links to radical clerics last Tuesday. But, though authorities found 800 pounds of explosives, all 19 cell members—l7 Saudis, one Iraqi and one Yemeni—escaped. So, with a new Qaida spokesperson warning that “an attack against America is inevitable” and that “future missions have been entrusted” to a “new team well protected against U.S. intelligence services,” now we have to worry about 19slippery Islamic terrorists coming at us from Saudi Arabia? Talk about a sickening sense of deja vu. Busy chasing off Saddam, the president and vice president had told us that al-Qaida was spent. “Al-Qaida is on the run,” President Bush said last week. “That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly but surely being decimated They’re not a problem anymore.” Members of the U.S. intelligence community bragged to reporters that the terrorist band was ...

crippled, noting that it hadn’t attacked during the assault on Iraq. “This was the big game for them—you put up or shut up, and they have failed,” Gofer Black, who heads the State Department’s counterterrorism office, told The Washington Post last week. Of course, the other way of looking at it is that al-Qaida works at its own pace and knows how to conduct operations on the run. Al-Qaida has been weakened by the arrest of leaders like Khalid Sheik Mohammed. But Osama, in recent taped messages, has exhorted his followers to launch suicide attacks against the invaders of Iraq. And as one ambassador from an Arab country noted, the pictures of American-made tanks in both Iraq and the West Bank of Israel certainly attracted new recruits

to Osama. The administration’s lulling triumphalism about al-Qaida exploded Monday in Riyadh, when well-planned and coordinated suicide strikes with car bombs and small-arms fire killed dozens in three housing complexes favored by Westerners, including seven Americans. The attack was timed to coincide with Colin Powell’s visit to the kingdom, and clearly meant to hurt both America and Saudi Arabia. Even though Rummy announced two weeks ago in Riyadh that he was pulling the U.S. troops Osama hated so much from Saudi Arabia, Qaida leaders still want to undermine the Saudi monarchy that has been so receptive to infidel

U.S. presidents. Buried in the rubble of Riyadh are some of the Bush administration’s basic assumptions: that al-Qaida was finished, that invading Iraq would bring regional stability, and that a show of American superpower against Saddam would cow terrorists. Bob Graham, the Florida senator running for president, said at the Capitol Tuesday that Iraq had been a diversion: “We essentially ended the war on terror about a year ago. And since that time, al-Qaida has been allowed to regenerate.” Doing a buddy routine with Rummy Tuesday in Washington, as the defense secretary accepted an award, Vice President Dick Cheney was as implacable as ever. “The only way to deal with this threat ultimately is to destroy it,” he said. So destroy it. Dowd’s column is syndicated by the New York

Times News Service.

Kofi Annan’s prepared graduation remarks

Duke has produced yet another of bumper graduates. crop Congratulations to you. The first order of business should be a round of applause for the families, faculty and friends who helped you reach this milestone. I should also praise the administration for holding this event in a big stadium and not the smaller Cameron arena. It would have been terribly unfair for you to have to camp out in K-ville, as if it were still basketball season, and compete with each other for tickets to your own commencement. After all, you have richly earned your seat here today! There are few moments in life so powerfully mixed with hope and fear as this one this day on which you take wing in the wider world; this day on which you and the world start to test each other a bit more seriously. That world was very different when I graduated more than 40 years ago. Even though I went to college here in the United States, as an African my main focus was on my own country, which had just become independent. While we were well aware of the world at large, most of -

us in Ghana looked inward, and set about

running our own country after centuries of colonial rule. Today, whether you are in Ghana or here in Durham, there is no such thing as thinking only in terms of your own country. Global forces press in from every conceivable direction. We are all being influenced by the same tides of change. People, goods and ideas cross borders and cover vast distances with ever greater frequency, speed and ease. We are increasingly connected through travel, trade, the Internet and even sports. The on-line edition of the Durham HeraldSun can be read in Dublin as if it had been delivered to doorsteps there. And I’m sure there are Blue Devils fans in

places you would least expect them! In such a world, issues that once seemed very far away are very much in your backyard. What happens in South America or Southern Africa from -

democratic advances to deforestation to the fight against AIDS-can affect your lives here in North Carolina. And your choices here-what you buy, how you vote-can resound far away. As someone once said about water pollution, we all live downstream. This interdependence generates a host of new and urgent demands. Towns and villages have their planning boards, fire departments and recycling centres. Nations have their legislatures and judicial bodies. Our globalizing world also needs institutions and standards. I am not talking about world government; such an idea never was, and never could be, either practical or desirable. I mean laws and norms that countries negotiate together, and agree to uphold as the “rules of the road”. And I mean a forum where sovereign states can come together to share burdens, address common problems and seize

common opportunities. Global challenges demand global solutions. Our jobs depend not only on local firms and factories, but on faraway markets for the goods they produce. Our safety depends not only on local police forces, but on guarding against the global

spread of pollution, disease, illegal drugs and weapons of mass destruction. The events of 11 September 2001 showed us all how failed states can end up becoming havens for terrorists, who then visit their destructive acts on others far away. How else to fight such a menace but to come together with cross-border law enforcement and joint efforts to build functioning, democratic societies? The war in Iraq, and the divisions

beforehand over how best to ensure com-

pliance with UN resolutions, have generated apprehension about the implications for our system of collective security, and for the international rule of law. There is deep suspicion and mistrust, both between nations and within them. Yet people and nations retain the hope of strengthening the foundations of stability, and uniting around common values. The United Nations, for all its imperfections, real and perceived, has built up unique experience. It has brought humanitarian relief to millions in need, and helped people to rebuild their countries from the ruins of armed conflict. It has fought poverty, protected the rights of children, promoted democracy and raised the profile of environmental issues. We need to build on that experience. The world is at a critical juncture, and so are you. Job prospects are not as plentiful as you might have preferred. The question typically heard at this time of year-”what are you going to do?”-is a bit more charged than usual. At the same time, I understand that many of you have used these uncertain times to explore avenues you might not have considered before such as teaching or other forms of public service in troubled communities in the United States or in some of the world’s developing countries. With the ink on your diplomas barely dry, you are coming face to face with the unexpected the turns of events that engage your passions in ways you never could have predicted or thought possible. I never imagined I would end up where I am. When I joined the United Nations, my plan was to return to Ghana at some point. Instead I was exposed to issues and ideas that drew me ever deeper into the Organization’s global mission of peace and development. The engineers -

among you might have hopes of working down the road in the Research Triangle, but there might equally be a place for you helping a country emerging from conflict to rebuild its infrastructure. The lawyers among you might have your eyes on corporate towers in big cities, but there is also some fascinating work to be done helping countries moving towards democracy to write constitutions and build independent judiciaries. The doctors and nurses among you may be schooled and specialized in all the wonders of modem medicine, but you might also find it rewarding to bring those benefits to people around the world, especially those at risk of dying from pre-

ventable illnesses. The same applies no matter what diploma you are about to receive, from economics to earth sciences. So go ahead and make your plans, pursue your chosen fields, and don’t stop learning. But be open to the detours that lead to new discoveries, for therein lies some of the spice and joy of life. And remember, if this is a world of peril, it is to a far greater degree one of enormous

opportunity. And nothing

makes a Secretary-General feel more hopeful about the future than seeing you, the Class of 2003, so ready to make your mark on tomorrow. A Duke education is a wonderful gift. Now take it and make it work for all of us. To paraphrase one of Duke’s gifted sons, the poet Fred Chappell and now North Carolina’s poet laureate: “go and join those who, with palette, loom and graceful pen, with sculpted stone, and with treatise and debate, build our world and build it up again.”

Kofi Annan, is the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Graduation Day: Holding on while letting go Student speaker Terry Schuster’s graduation speech It’s the end of what your parents’ friends reminiscently call "the best years of your life," and you’re sitting with your class in a stadium surrounded by people, listening to a graduation speech. Some of these people you know. Some of them you’re very close to. Most of them you will never see again, which is fine, you think. The speaker says something about how your future is full of hope. And this gets you thinking, because it seems untrue, maybe. Or it somehow misses the truth of what you feel at this moment, a profound sense of loss. You were out with your friends the other night, and when the bar stopped serving drinks, you all went back to your place. Your dorm or house or apartment was already starting to look like it did when you first moved in, the walls a bit more bare than normal, your things already finding their way into boxes. And you thought to yourself that you would never again have this group of people around you in this place, and that even if you did, it could never again feel like this. Why does this night have to end? Your friends were slipping away. You hugged them with an urgency that was never there before. You were at a loss for words. Your parents and maybe the rest ofyour family came to see you graduate. They walk around campus with you and comment on how beautiful it is. And you simply repeat, "Yeah, this place is so beautiful." And although it looks like you’re agreeing with them, you’re actually saying something very different. But it’s all the same to them. "Beautiful," your mother says. "Go stand over there. I want to take your picture." Even as it’s being taken, you know that the picture won’t quite capture what you mean when you say it’s beautiful here. In the last few days, or maybe this whole last semester, you’ve had a new sense of what is valuable to you. You’re filled with an aching awareness of how the world could be and always should be, but now is not. You want to do some-

thing. You want peace and justice and human decency, ping around them. And all at once it hits you. That all things you never knew you wanted. Or rather, things you these things that people say at graduation aren’t about imagine you always wanted, but there’s a kind of newness responsibility. They’re about love. to the ideas, a kind of immediacy.
