Student Health looks to preventative medicine as the new frontier in making sure Duke students stay healthy

rector of Student Health Dr. William

Christmas in June, administrators have begun to examine the future of Student Health Services at the University. While the current state of student health is strong by all accounts, both Christmas and Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said health services could make itself more visible on campus, especially for freshmen, who are often unaware of their health options. At the forefront of the discussion is creating a service that is more individual-oriented, with a focus on involving students from the earliest stages of the undergraduate experience in their own health care program. ‘We want to engage freshmen, literally as part of the orientation process or shortly thereafter, on how they can be advised and get individual consultation to help them think about sleep, and nutrition and exercise choices,” said Moneta. We want to focus on how to create a model by which individual students can get their own health plan.” Moneta said an individual health profile for students would be the manifestation of a new philosophy for Student Health, which would focus on prevention of illness, rather than relying solely on the traditional method of treatment after the patient becomes sick. He noted that this philosophy was based on the work coming from the leadership of the Duke

ESPN Classic has been replaying Florida State’s upset win over North Carolina continuously the past several days, a game in which the Seminoles’ stellar defense was on display. And though the Seminoles could not pull off another Tobacco Road victory, Florida State gave Duke all it could handle in a rowdy Cameron Indoor Stadium Thursday night. ‘These are the games that make great years,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said of his team’s 56-49 victory over the Seminoles, “if you can win them.” Despite being shut down offensively in the post by FSU’s relentless frontcourt defense, the Blue Devils’ were able to ride their stellar defensive efforts and one very crucial play by their team captain to claim the victory. So as the producers at ESPN Classic undoubtedly relished in Seminole Alexander

Katherine Mary Schoeffler, a May 2004 doctoral candidate in the Pratt School of Engineering, died Tuesday at Duke University Medical Center from a tear in her ascending aorta. She was 44. Schoeffler, known as Kathy to her friends, complained ofchest pains Sunday and was taken to DUMC, but after a brief hospital stay, was discharged the next day. She collapsed early Tuesday and was not able to be resuscitated at the hospital. Schoeffler was completing a five-year program in biomedical engineering and informatics. Schoeffler held the Judith Redman Gustafson and L. Adelaide and M. Elizabeth Johnson Endowments and was the first woman to pursue a doctorate in her specialization from Pratt. She earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Catholic University and worked for Burroughs Wellcome pharmaceutical company for eight years prior to attending graduate school. Many remembered Schoeffler as an outgoing, warm woman, who was dedicated to her research and work. “When I think of Kathy, I think of someone with a lot of energy, a smile on her face and with tremendous enthusiasm,” said Ed Hammond, professor emeritus of biomedical engineering and Schoeftler’s advisor. “She was a person that had great talent.” Schoeffler was working on a program to standardize medical descriptions for medical and clinical analysis. She earned the $65,000 National Library of Medicine Fellowship in Applied Informatics in 1997 as well as grants from the American Association of University Women and Duke. “She was pushing to succeed in the field,” said Winafred Schoeffler, Kathy’s mother. “She had a job waiting for her at the National Institutes of Health until she completed her doctorate.” Schoeffler was also known for her friendships with children, especially her niece and nephew. “She loved young children and counted a number of [younger] friends,” Winafred Schoeffler said. Schoeffler also enjoyed sharing her work with others. Through her award from and membership in AAIJW, Schoeffler had the opportunity to speak on her intellectual pursuits around the state. She gave lectures at Duke, including a Humanities in Science keynote lecture on artificial intelligence and medicine, as well as teaching engineering classes with her mentor. “She just gave so much of herself,” said Judy Stafford, a senior arftilyst programmer

WASHINGTON Relatives of Sept. 11 victims asked Thursday that the deadline for a commission investigating the attacks to produce a final report be extended to next January to limit the influence of election-year politics. The commission is scheduled to finish its work May 27. But panel members this week asked Congress for a twomonth extension, citing a need for full analysis of reams of documents about the disaster.

CHG becomes independent of IGSP CC passes new noise Liana Wyler THE CHRONICLE

The Center for Human Genetics, under the umbrella Institute for Genome, Science and Policy since its inception in 1998, will no longer be administratively associated with the IGSP, officials said. After two months of discussions at the end of 2003, Dean of the School of Medicine Sandy Williams recendy decided it would be best for CHG to function as an independent entity. Already in existence for well over a decade before the University ever considered the strategic initiative on genomics, CHG has grown into a “huge mega-center” thathad developed an administrative infrastructure largely independent ofIGSP, explained CHG Director Dr. Margaret Pericak-Vance. ‘The Center for Human Genetics has been here since 1977,” Pericak-Vance said. ‘That was before the concept of the IGSP was developed. And once the concept was developed, it made sense to put the center as part of IGSP.... But we’d been operating independently in terms of administration by the time that IGSP was formalized and [Director of the IGSP Dr. Huntington Willard] came here and was established.” Pericak-Vance noted that in spite of the official split from IGSP, the only real change resulting from the decision is that she will no longer report to Willard. All CHG-IGSP scientific collaborations and common goals, however, will continue to proceed as they have been, she said. “In terms of the research and the collaboration with IGSP, it’s seamless,” Pericak-Vance said. “[But] reporting to [both Willard and Williams] was redundant. We grew faster and more rapidly. We were more successful—which is great for Duke—than we had anticipated.” Willard agreed with Pericak-Vance, acknowledging the maturity and independence of CHG while emphasizing his hope for continued collaboration on projects. “Intellectually, [CHG] is still a large part of what we do. But the important thing is how to get the best productivity out of them,” Willard said. ‘They are a

[Willard] and I are absolutely focusing on how not to duplicate, but rather complement our expertise in genomics,” said Pericak-Vance, who will still meet with Willard to discuss collaborative projects on a monthly basis. “His focus is on trying to bring into Duke programs and ideas that weren’t there before—different types of

I’m sure the change must mean something to someone somewhere.”

Campus Council members expressed faith in the maturity of their fellow Duke students Thursday night, as the organization unanimously passed a noise policy promoting conflict resolution between students. The new guidelines, which will be presented to Residence Life and Housing Services, were crafted in response to concerns that the current rules do not allow for a natural college environment. The student legislators advocated cautious support for the idea of quiet and noisy hours, but would ideally prefer a system based on mutual respect and responsible discretion. Communications Coordinator and Junior Pasha Majdi said, “You’ve got to be a nice, respectful, reasonable person at all times. We wanted to emphasize that students should talk to other students first. Implicitly, we are saying we shouldn’t be calling the cops. Let’s be mature.” What they propose will allow higher noise levels from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday nights and from 1 p.m. to 3 a.m. Saturdays. These rules differ only slightly from the current codes of conduct, which restrict higher noise levels to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The change was suggested in order to promote a less abrupt end to on-campus social gatherings. Majdi said Duke students should hold to the Durham law, which prohibits playing loud music past 2 a.m., but said he is troubled by Duke University Police officers shutting down parties exactly at 2 a.m. By extending noisy hours to 3 a.m., he said, the new rule, if passed, would allow students to comfortably wind down their social gatherings.

Pixar Animation Studios severs ties with Disney by

Laura Holson

NEW TORE TIMES NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES Pixar Animation Studios, which produced last summer’s hit film “Finding Nemo,” said Thursday that it was ending talks on continuing its 12-year partnership with the Walt Disney Co. and would seek another studio to distribute its films after 2006. The announcement surprised both Hollywood and Wall Street because many people expected that Steve Jobs, the mercurial chief executive of Pixar, and Disney’s chief executive, Michael Eisner, would resolve their personal and professional differences to continue what has beefl a lucrative partnership for both

companies. Disney distributes all of Pixar’s films, and the two companies split the profits. As part of their current agreement, Disney will distribute Pixar’s two coming films “The Incredibles,” scheduled to be released later this year, and “Cars,” due out next year. “After 10 months of trying to strike a deal with Disney, we’re moving on,” Jobs said in a statement. “We’ve had a great run together —one of the most successful in Hollywood history—and it’s a shame that Disney won’t be participating in Pixar’s future success.” Since the release of the Academy Award-winning ‘Toy Story,” Pixar films have earned more than $2.5 billion at the

worldwide box office and sold more than 150 million DVDs and videos, making it one of the most successful animation companies today. Just this week, “Finding Nemo” was nominated for an Academy Award for best animated feature. But over the years, Jobs and Eisner have sparred publicly over how much control and money Pixar was allowed in the partnership. Pixar’s animation has been a boon both financially and creatively to Disney, something Jobs has said Eisner did not appreciate. The timing of Pixar’s announcement is something of a public relations nightmare for Eisner, who has been under pressure to turn around Disney’s fortunes. Earlier this

week, former board directors Stanley Gold and Roy Disney called upon shareholders to oust Eisner at the upcoming annual meeting in March. Gold and Roy Disney have complained that Walt Disney Co.’s once-storied animation division has faltered under Eisner. They released a statement Thursday saying that Eisner had mismanaged the relationship with Pixar. The news of the talks’ failure sparked interest among market competitors, including Warner Brothers Studios, which said it would be interested in distributing Pixar films.

Candidates'coffers vary: Kerry up. Dean down by

Sharon Theimer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON —John Kerry’s front-runner status is helping his fund-raising take off while former Democratic leader Howard Dean’s once-record treasury has dwindled to around $5 million, campaign officials said Thursday. One source directly familiar with Dean’s finances, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said Dean had that much on hand after all bills were paid. A second source, a senior Dean campaign official, confirmed that Dean’s cash on hand had fallen to seven figures after raising a Democratic record $4l million last year. Contributions slowed dramatically in the hours after Dean replaced campaign manager Joe Trippi Wednesday, but Dean supporters were heartened by a fund-raising pickup Thursday. His web site showed he was raising

money at a clip of about $lO,OOO per hour, with more than $1 million in online donations since last Saturday. When asked whether there would be layoffs as Dean looks to cut costs, a senior official said Dean was serious when he said the campaign would be leaner. The official said that rather than wholesale staff cuts, the campaign would reduce or shift staff as it makes decisions about which primary states to compete in. Dean is already withholding staff salaries and decided against airing ads in any of the seven states holding delegate contests next Tuesday. Dean’s belt-tightening came as Kerry raised more than $500,000 over the Internet in the two days since his New Hampshire victory Tuesday night and their cash-strapped rivals for the Democratic nomination were awaiting their next checks from public financing.

Kerry’s best day of Internet fund-raising before his lowa victory last week brought in just $50,000 to $60,000, spokesperson Michael Meehan said. In all, he has raised more than $1.6 million online since the lowa caucuses Jan. 19. Kerry’s flood of online donations comes a little more than a month after he announced he had mortgaged his family’s Boston home to secure a $6 million loan to keep his campaign afloat. He hasn’t decided whether he will lend his campaign more money, Meehan said Thursday. “Senator Kerry will make decisions about how he funds and executes his campaign on a daily basis,” Meehan said, declining to say how much the campaign raised in all this month. The Massachusetts senator plans to resume holding fund-raising receptions sometime in February. SEE DEMS ON PAGE 7

Iraq Intel controversy poses difficulty for Bush by David Sanger NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON The intensifying debate over prewar U.S. intelligence about Iraq presents President George W. Bush with difficult and risky alternatives, as he balances election-year politics with calls to overhaul the intelligence apparatus and to restore the nation’s credibility around the world. He could order the start of an inquiry about the performance of intelligence agencies, as Democrats and the chief weapons inspector, David Kay, have insisted, but his aides fear that that could prove politically damaging and would almost certainly reopen old wounds with the CIA. He could keep arguing that military action was justified no matter how immediate a threat Saddam Hussein posed, and push off an examination and possible overhaul ofU.S. intelligence operations for another year. But his political team worries that doing so could keep the issue alive through the presidential campaign. Or Bush and those on his national security team, who once described how Saddam could use his stockpiles of weapons to strike at any time, could conclude that something went badly wrong during their march to war. But this is not a White House given to admitting error. And even if Bush vowed to fix what many say is a broken system, his national security aides note, the fix would not be easy. “They’ve made a pretty huge mess of it,” said one senior Republican who has been talking to Bush’s top advisers about what steps they should take next. “They wove this giant story, based on intelligence assessments that in hindsight—and this is hindsight, remember were wrong. “It’s exposed a huge problem in our intelligence gathering,” he said. “But who wants to take that on in an election year? Or while you are fighting terrorists?” White House officials say they will not talk at length about why they are so deeply hesitant to launch an in—

One White House official said Thursday that there was a risk that an inquiry could spin out of control, exactly what many administration officials fear has happened to the inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks. Yet some officials are beginning to maintain privately that such an investigation is inevitable now that Kay has declared to the Senate, “We were almost all wrong.” Yet the politics of doing what Kay says needs to be done—conduct an inquiry and overhaul the intelligence community before a similar mistake is made over Iran or North Korea or other potential threats—has grown

enormously complex. Bush has publicly defended the “unbelievably hardworking, dedicated people” of the U.S. intelligence community in part, some administration officials say, because he because he wants to avoid another bitter, public dispute with Tenet and the intelligence community. Feelings are still raw over last summer’s open arguments between the White House and Tenet over who was to blame for Bush’s inaccurate claim in his 2003 State of the Union address that Iraq was trying obtain uranium in Africa. They were worsened by the accusations that a White House official blew the cover ofValerie Flame, a CIA officer who operated under cover and is the wife of Bush’s greatest critic on the Africa claims, Joseph Wilson IV. Repairing that damage has taken months, and a grand jury recendy began hearing evidence about the leak.

This concept of an individual health plan is part of a greater theory of “prospective health care,” proposed in a November article co-written by DUHS CEO and Chancellor of Health Affairs Dr. Ralph Snyderman and Dean of the School of Medicine Dr. Sandy Williams. The article calls for a new approach to health care, which would provide individuals with a broad analysis of their health risks. Using such a profile, physicians could prevent illness or fight it in its earliest stages. Williams said a program incorporating prospective health care was currently

They instead opted to let students use their own discretion during the weekdays. “Not having [noisy hours between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.] lets people work things out in their own group,” Majdi said. “When you have a block of time, that implies that some time is noise time, while other time is quiet time.” Members understand that students need quiet hours, but do not want students to lose their appreciation for the novelty of college life.

If it were quiet, it wouldn’t be college, and this gives a balance between the two.” Also included in the council’s resolution was a suggestion for change in the Central Campus noise policy, which does not allow for any noise at any time. Members assert that the change is necessary because the demographic of Central Campus has changed considerably. Council members cited that when the current Central Campus noise policy was crafted, not as many male juniors resided there. “It’s really not the quiet alternative to West [Campus] it used to be,” said Majdi in reference to Central Campus. “To accommodate the different social climate, we need to allow more noise.” Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli reported that the Graduate and

By opting out of public financing, Dean and Kerry freed themselves of the program’s $45 million primary spending limit, but they also won’t get monthly government campaign checks.

When Chones and James both came to NC State in the fall of 1999, they immediately took leading roles on the team. Both players started all 29 games with Chones at center and James at point guard. Chones was the team’s second leading scorer averaging 11.4 points per game and second best rebounder with 7.9 a game as a freshman.

THE

CHRONICLE

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30,

Duhon conducts Duke to well-earned defensive victory With six minutes to go in the first half, yesterday’s victory over a superbly prepared and energized Florida State team was nearly over. Or so I thought. The No. 1 Blue Devils had poured in eight points in about 80 seconds to take a 30-17 advantage, and they’d done so in exciting fashion. The run began when Shavlik Randolph emphatically tossed an A1 Thornton shot to the right baseline. FSU’s Anthony Richardson picked up the loose ball, but Randolph prompdy stole it and pushed it up the floor. 10 seconds later, a Daniel Ewing three caromed off the rim into the hands of Randolph, who whipped the ball to Duhon just outside the threepoint line on the left side of the floor. With a flick of both wrists, Duhon sent a no-look touch pass to his right into the hands of a wide-open JJ. Redick, who, of course, nailed the three.FSU came back down, missed a jumper that Randolph rebounded. He sent his oudet pass to Duhon, who drove the length of the floor, penetrated into the paint and leapt into the air, but instead of shooting he fired a pass out to Redick on the right wing for another open three. And of course, it was good. The Seminoles came back down, with the Crazies in a frenzy, and missed a layup and a jumper before Randolph swatted another shot that landed in the hands of Ewing. The Texas native hit Duhon streaking down the left side of the floor, and the Blue Devil captain finished it off with a layup. Then, Duhon strode out to half court and got into his defensive stance to sound the death knell, pummeling the court with his hands once, twice, three times, with the Crazies’ crescendo escalating

with each staccato But Florida State is an excellent team, and the Seminoles’ defense kept them in the ballgame. And little by little in the second half, they whitded away at the Blue Devils’ lead. This wasn’t because of something deficient in Duke’s game plan. Rather, the Blue Devils struggled because they could not break down the Seminole defense, which was just as tenacious as Duke’s. So when the FSU closed it to 5149 with around 50 ticks on the clock left, I thought that it was about time for Duke to get off an easy shot against the Seminoles. But as it turned out, FSU’s defense broke itself down, and gave Chris Duhon a wide open look for a threepointer. And, perhaps surprisingly, he nailed it. “If someone had asked me, I'm not sure I would say he would take that shot that quick coming out of a timeout,” FSU head coahc Leonard Hamilton said. “All the stats we had [on Duke] for the last five or six games probably would have backed me up. But that’s what great players will do. Great coaches make great decisions. Great players make great plays.” “We always set up a few options,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said of the final play. “Again, because we didn't exactly execute what we wanted, Chris was open. He had guts. It was a great shot.” But Duhon wasn’t done. FSU inbounded the ball and ran it across half court to call time out. After the break, Duhon set up the Blue Devil defense, ordering his teammates to communicate, motioning with his hands and yelling “We have to talk!” But that wasn’t even necessary, as Sean Dockery stepped infront of the inbounds pass, and after missing the front-end of a one-and-one, he stole yet another pass to wrap up yet another home victory for the Blue Devils. Hamilton has taken FSU a long way in a short while. This was likely the first of many entertaining games in what should be quite a rivalry.

CLOSE CALL from page 1 Johnson’s layup

and follow-up free throw to bring FSU within 10 point with 4:55 left in the second half, the momentum began to shift in favor of the Seminoles. The Seminole defense continued to push Duke’s offense beyond the three point line and forced two shot clock violations within the next three minutes. In the meantime, the Seminoles’ offense went to work with two clutch three point shots from senior guard Tim Pickett, and a final three by Von Wafer to make it a matter of one posession with 1:05

remaining.

Duke called a timeout to draw up what point guard Chris Duhon later described to be a pretty “regular” inbounds play. ‘There’s a low screen for Daniel [Ewing] to go into the comer, and after Shelden sets the screen high for me he goes and gets JJ. [Redick],” he said. “So, basically, it’s basically for me to get in the paint and kick it out to Daniel or stop and wait for JJ. to come up top.” Ewing had been hot in the first half, and Redick had been leading the Blue Devils’ offense all night—he finished with 24 points, 12 from beyond the three-point line. Early in the first half, Ewing drained baseline jumper and a long three from the top of the key to start up Duke’s initial momentum. Redick, meanwhile, led the Blue Devils in an 8-0 first half run by draining two long-distance three point shots. “We knew coming in that they really collapse on the post,” said Williams, stymied all night by Florida’s interior defense that did not allow him a single field goal. ‘When the post gets the ball there are going to be at least three guys coming down to collapse on the post. But we know that if they do that we have open three point shooters like JJ. and Daniel out on the wing.” “I got in a little rhythm,” said Redick. “Chris found me a couple times. There were a couple ofbroken plays where I got an open look.” In short, FSU’s defense was not going to let either hot hitters open with 40 seconds left. So as Williams set the screen up high, the Seminoles’ man-defense made a switch to smother Redick, leaving Duhon open coming offWilliams’ high screen. Duhon pulled up off the inbound pass and sunk a three point shot from the corner, making it a three-posession game with 38 seconds left. When Sean Dockery stole the next inbound pass and FSU was forced to foul, it was all over. “To be a championship [team] you have to win games like this,” Duhon said. “It’s not going to be smooth sailing the whole time. We did an amazing job on the defensive end on Florida State not letting them get any momentum and holding them off just enough for us to win.”

No. 8 men open with win Walter

by Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

The No. 8 Duke men’s tennis team (1-0) started off its season in convincing fashion yesterday, defeating No. 41 William & Mary (2-2) by a 5-2 margin in the Sheffield Tennis Center. The Blue Devils began the competition by sweeping the doubles matches, and then went on to win 4 of the 6 singles contests to ensure victory. Duke All-American Phillip King, who sat out the fall season with an injured wrist, was impressive in his debut matches. He and Jonathan Stokke combined to win 8-3 in doubles play. King then went on to dispatch the Tribe’s best singles player, No. 26JeffKader, 6-1, 6-0. After the match, King expressed little doubt in his ability to defeat Kader. “I think I matched up really well against him,” King said. “I got off to a good start, just kept it up, and played every point as if I were down. I just played my game—if it wasn't broke, I wasn't going to fix it.” Head coach Jay Lapidus was excited to see his best player and team leader back on the court. “I thought Philip played a really good match today, that was one of the best matches I've seen him play in a while,” Lapidus said. “The level he played at today was really, really,

really good.” Equally impressive was the performance of Ludovic Walter. Walter and partner Jason Zimmerman—the nation’s No. 2 doubles team and reigning ITA Doubles Champions—defeated No. 28 Steven Kane and Geoff Russell in an close 8-6 contest. With the score tied 6-6, the Duke team broke serve and subsequently served out the match. “That game was the key to the match, because we served well, and we volleyed well,” Walter said. “All the games on their serve were close until we finally broke them.”

went

on to defeat Sean Kelleher in

singles play 6-2, 6-1. The sophomore’s powerful serve and aggressive net game proved too much

for Kane to handle, and after the match Walter admitted that Kelleher had unwittingly played right into his strength. ‘The guy I played was not too dangerous, he didn't have much power, and he made me play well by putting spin on strokes that made the ball bounce high, right where I like to hit them,” Walter said. “It was a pretty good match for me.” Finally, Peter Rodrigues impressed many in his first career home match. He and sophomore Stephen Amritraj were broken in the first game of their doubles contest, but rebounded to break twice en route to a 8-6 victory. “I think in our game we returned really well, and as a result we got two big breaks,” Rodrigues said. “They started by breaking us, so I think we did a good job hanging in there, fighting, and not becoming pessimistic. We stayed positive and everything turned out okay.” Rodrigues then went on to defeat the Tribe’s Alex Fish 6-1 6-1, a win that greatly impressed Lapidus. “I was really proud of the way Peter Rodrigues played in his first match as a freshman,” Lapidus said. “He was probably a little bit nervous, but he beat the guy 6-1, 6-1 and played extremely well.” Stokke contributed the Blue Devils’ final victory, defeating Geoff Russell 7-5, 7-6. On the losing end for Duke were Zimmermann, who lost 6-2, 6-3 to Steven Kane, and AmritraJ, who was defeated by Stephen Ward 4-6, 6-2. 10-7. The Blue Devils continue their schedule at home on Saturday when they will face off against No. 9 Texas A&M in a contest that will be highlighted by a matchup of the nation’s top two doubles teams —Walter and Zimmermann and the Aggies’ Lester Cook and Ante Matijevic.

SENIORS from page 8 form ranking in the top five in the ACC in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage, and blocked shots. James was rusty after the two entire seasons she spent on the bench. “If you haven't played basketball in two years...it's going to take some time. Then, if you have to overcome two reconstructed knees, that takes a little time too, mentally,” NC State head coach Kay Yow said prior to the 2002-2003 season. “Just getting over the injuries mentally and physically getting the sharpness to her skills.” James also showed her old skills by the end of the season, leading the team with 98 assists and scoring in double figures in 13 games.

WOLFPACK from page 8 offensively by senior center Kaayla Chones, who ranks fourth in the ACC with 14.6 points and third in rebounding with 7.6 per game. The Pepper Pike, Ohio native has scored in double figures in all but three games this season. The Blue Devils counter inside with sophomore Mistie Bass and freshman Brittany Hunter, who will be largely responsible for containing Chones. “[Chones] is a great player,” senior forward Iciss Tillis said. “She has great post moves and is a great offensive rebounder.” N.C. State’s greatest asset may be its defensive prowess, as it is second in the league in scoring average, allowing opponents only 56.7 points per game in conference play. Duke, though, has one of the most prolific offenses in the nation, posting 84.1 points per game. Four of Duke’s five starters average dou-

season, Chones and James have helped to lead the Pack to two straight ACC wins, at Florida State and at home against a tough

Maryland team. Going into tonight’s action at Cameron, the team stands at 1010. Back together for their final year at NC State, neither Chones nor James seems to show traces of her injuries. Chones is an All-America and a State Farm Wade Trophy candidate, and James has regained the confidence lost sitting on the bench for two years. “Last year was real nervous for me trying to get back into game mode and wondering if I was going to get injured again,” James said at the beginning of this season. “This year I really have my quickness back. The players around me and the team we have is giving me a lot of confidence.” ble figures in scoring, led by senior All American Alana Beard. Beard is nursing a groin injury and recovering from a strained ligament in her foot suffered against the Volunteers, but she is expected to be ready to play tonight. The Blue Devils are also hoping that Tillis emerges from her recent shooting slump. The All American showed signs of breaking out of her rut with a solid performance last week against Maryland, but she hit only 3 of 16 shots from the field against Tennessee. “My shots still aren’t falling the way that I want,” Tillis said. “But I’ve been playing good defense, and I’ll take a great defensive day over a great offensive day anytime.” Tonight’s matchup is the start of a taxing stretch for the Blue Devils, in which they have three games in six days. “This is a tough stretch for us,” Goestenkors said. “We are going to need to. step up and play much better basketball than we did against Tennessee to be successful.”

Luol Deng may draw defense duties Isma’il act against high-wire Muhammad, who is arguably the most athletic player the Blue Devils have faced all season. If Muhammad and Elder can exploit his defenders’ deficiencies, the rest of the Yellow Jackets will find themselves

with open shots and lanes to the basket due to the Blue Devils collapsing defense. This will certainly be Georgia Tech’s strategy as their offense is centered around penetration and breakaway baskets when they can get out in the open court. For the Blue Devils, Saturday’s contest will be determined by their transition defense and guard play. Whichever squad can control the tempo of the game will walk out of Alexander Memorial victorious.

Any political analyst knows, of course, that an election also depends on the temper of the times. Numerous social, economic and global factors were at work in the 19705, not the least of which were a worldwide economic recession, the Vietnam War and two oil crises that did not favor the Democrats. The key is to know what the political wave is, where it is going and how to ride it. That is what makes Dean the clairvoyant in this race. Dean knows that political dominance runs in cycles. The global economy fell into a recession in the 19705, and with it came the neo-liberal-spouting neo-cons, slashing regulations on corporadons, aggressively pursuing “free trade” and reshaping Latin America to Milton Friedman’s liking. The strategy worked politically for 25 years—even through to

Clinton—but the tide is turning again, and increasingly people worldwide are questioning a Washington Consensus based on commercial rather than civic values. Lou Dobbs’ running CNN story on “Exporting America” reflects “ordinary Americans’” concern about the loss of both blue and white collar jobs, the hollowing out of the middle class and the increasing concentration of wealth. What Dean has done is to recognize this nascent populism and by doing so, he has both rejected his party’s inferiority complex and built a young base that will own the party for a generation to come. Dean may not win the primary, and the Democrats might not win in November, but by soliciting our generation’s ownership of the Party and displaying prescience for the turning tide, Democrats will be riding the right wave.
