Piva, Duke's top fundraiser, retires BAA to cut ties with School of Medicine by

Andrew Collins THE CHRONICLE

After a job well done—most notably the $2.36 billion Campaign for Duke—Senior Vice President for Alumni Affairs and Development John Piva has announced his retirement. Robert Shepard, who has worked closely with Piva as vice president for development, will become vice president for alumni affairs and development.

Piva, who had been privately planning to step down for several years, will leave the University following the fifth-most successful capital campaign in the history of

American higher education. The campaign ended Dec. 31, 2003 and was a smashing success, exceeding its original goal of $1.5 billion by over 50 percent.

Administrators credited much of the campaign’s success to Piva and his personal, engaging fundraising style.

“There is no one in higher education in this field more accomplished, more committed and more capable than John Piva, and no one knows more than me how much his leadership has meant to Duke’s future,” President Nan Keohane said. “It is typical of John that he stays

out of the limelight, seeks no personal praise and recognizes the accomplishments of others on his team. He is a remarkably persuasive person who helps all of us understand why philanthropy requires not only dollars, but also heart and vision. Everyone who cares about Duke is in his debt.”

Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations John Burness said Piva has a gift for persuasion, citing the dramatic example of a donation by EdSEE PIVA ON PAGE 8

“What you’re going to see is a more aggressive approach by the police department, especially in dealing with people who commit crimes with guns,” Bell said, noting that all five of the recent homicides were committed with firearms.

‘You’re going to see more of a presence in neighborhoods with high levels of violence, and more of a presence at night and in the early morning when a lot of these crimes are being committed.”

Following the Wisconsin primary Tuesday and former Vermont Gov. Howard

Dean’s exitfrom the race, the batde for the Democratic presidential nomination finally withered to a virtual two-person contest between Sen. John Kerry ofMassachusetts and Sen. John Edwards ofNorth Carolina.

With his usual healthy dose of optimism and tenacity, Edwards—more viable than ever after his surprisingly strong second place finish—declared now a pivotal moment in his campaign.

“I’ve been looking forward to the time when this is a two-person race,” Edwards said in a CNN interview Tuesday night, even before Dean had announced his with-

drawal from the race. ‘The more focus I can have on Senator Kerry and myself, the better for my campaign.”

With a last-minute increase of support among independent, Republican and undecided voters in Tuesday’s open primary, Edwards garnered 34 percent of the vote, finishing just behind Kerry’s 40 percent. The close results defied most polls, which had projected Kerry winning by a landslide.

“It was a great showing of strength for Senator Edwards,” said Ed Turlington, chair of Edwards for America. “In lowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Oklahoma and now Wisconsin, there have been SEE EDWARDS ON PAGE 7

Provost Peter Lange presented a proposal at Thursday’s Academic Council meeting that would move the Biological Anthropology and Anatomy Department completely under the umbrella of Arts and Sciences. Currently, BAA is housed jointly by Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine.

“It is my strong belief that this is the best outcome for the department that we have available,” Lange said. It is in fact a very good outcome from the standpoint that, over time, I believe the department will thrive under the new system.”

According to a report distributed to the council, the move was precipitated by the School of Medicine’s announcement last year that “the mission and funding structure of the [BAA] department [was] no longer consistent with the strategic vision of the school.”

Lange said the move would have little effect on undergraduate students, but would leave some key issues to be resolved between Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine. Most notably, anatomy instruction will be phased out of the program under Arts and Sciences.

“There are obviously issues of transition that will be difficult for certain individuals and some issues of substance including how gross anatomy is going to be taught,” Lange said. “Long-term we have not found any volunteers just leaping to that task.

U.S. urges Americans to leave Haiti by

Christopher

Marquis

and Lydia Polgreen NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON As Haiti’s rebellion spread, the Bush administration look a more active role Thursday in trying to broker a political settlement, and urged Americans to leave the country.

The administration’s shift came just days after officials had called on Haitians to assume responsibility for their crisis and seemed prepared to let regional diplomats take the lead in pressing for a peace deal.

But, under growing pressure from relief agencies, human rights groups and lawmakers warning of catastrophe,

the administration brought together diplomats from the Organization of American States, the Caribbean Community, the United Nations and France to draft a peace proposal with specific steps that the Haitian government and its opponents could take.

In addition, the Pentagon announced it would send a small military team to Haiti to determine the risk to the American embassy there at the request of the American ambassador to Haiti, James Foley.

The State Department urged Americans, including members of the Peace Corps, to leave Haiti because of “a steady deterioration of the security situation.”

The department imposed a nighttime curfew on its employees and restricted them to the capital, Port-au-Prince.

At least 57 Haitians have died violently since the uprising began two weeks ago. International relief officials have expressed concern that demonstrators may touch off a food crisis by interfering with deliveries.

Until now, the Bush administration has discounted the possibility of sending in troops, even as it remains alert to the potential for a refugee exodus bound for Florida.

Secretary of State Colin Powell said officials had “no enthusiasm” for sendSEE HAITI ON PAGE 7

Bush wants to make tax cuts permanent by

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush promoted his tax cuts Thursday at a hastily arranged “conversation” on the economy with tax-cut recipients selected by the administration that the White House at the last minute closed to the press.

But Bush later appeared with the recipients standing silently behind him as he told their tax-cut stories for them on a stage of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next door to the White House.

“Maybe the best way I can make my point to the tax-raisers and spenders here in Washington is to listen to the sto-

ries of people like Amy Gofer,” Bush said, indicating a pregnant woman who stood behind him on the stage for his 24 minutes of remarks. “She is a mom of two, soon to be a mom of three.”

Gofer and her husband, Bush said, had saved $1,700 in taxes in 2003. If Congress didn’t make his tax cuts permanent, he said, Gofer’s family would suffer.

“It’s a new family, a new child coming, doesn’t make sense to have this family pay a thousand dollars,” Bush said.

It was unclear why the White House, which has been scrambling all week to fend off attacks by the Democrats over the loss ofAmerican jobs, did not allow Gofer or the other presumably satisfied tax-cut recipients to speak publicly.

The candles were lit, the corks were off of the wine bottles—and the timer was set to five minutes. While waiting for his date to sit down, Sam Forehand, a second-year law student, snuck a peek at her from across the room. Then he approached her and asked, ‘What’s your least favorite place to go to in Durham?”

“What kind of question is that?” his date responded. After a brief pause, she replied, “Elmo’s [Diner].”

A taken-aback look appeared on Forehand’s face as he asked, “What could possibly be wrong with Elmo’s? Elmo’s is like my favorite place!”

The whistle had blown, and his speed date had begun.

It was Wednesday night and a little late to catch a date in time for Valentine’s Day, but for love, it’s better late than never. It seemed that many graduate and professional students agreed, as 110 participants gathered at Tosca’s Italian Ristorante Wednesday night for Speed Dating, an event to raise money for the public policy

graduate students.

Every year, the first-year public policy students are given the task of raising $5,000 in any way that they think will be ef ficient. While past events have included selling T-shirts and holding auctions, this year speed dating was the chosen function.

“I watched ‘Sex and the City’ and saw an episode where they did Speed Dating,” said Kim Williams, a first year public policy student and one of the event’s organizers.

“I thought it was really interesting and last semester [the committee] started looking for a venue to hold such an event.”

The funds raised from the $l5 participation fee will go towards the Internship Fund to allow public policy students to take on internships that may not provide compensation. This will be a big assistance to the department, as “a lot of us will do internships in [Washington,] D.C. that are free or very low paying,” said first-year public policy student and event coordinator Megan Burns.

When students registered to participate in the event, they submitted an extensive survey that was used by professional

matchmaker Steven Sacks to make sure that students were matched compatibly.

Sacks, who volunteered his services for the Internship Fund Committee, used the methodology from his book, Mate Map, as the basis for his pairings. He relied on profile attributes such as age, religion, ethnicity and physical characteristics.

“I asked the students to rank their first, second and third preferences in each of these categories to see what they were willing to bend on a little bit,” said Sacks. He also paid close attention to students’ graduation dates.

“Hopefully some long-term relationships will develop,” he added, as those with graduation further down the road would at least have a year or two at Duke to see what developed.

The atmosphere at Tosca’s was relaxed and casual, as the speed dating process made meeting people easy, from having participants wear name tags that said a little something about them, to giving out question cards that could be used to spark

Student feedback is as critical as ever these days.

At Thursday night’s Campus Council meeting, Duke Student Government Vice President for Student Affairs Elizabeth Dixon presented DukePass to Council members. DukePass—launched by the Office of Information and Technology earlier this week—is an online portal that provides Duke undergraduates a central access point to student-specific information and oft-used applications.

Because the portal is currently in its test phase, the addition of new services is within the realm of possibility. But new features are not going to think themselves up—that’s where student opinion comes in, Dixon said, noting that the success of the program will rely on the suggestions of the students that use it.

“The really exciting time of the portal is going to be in the next six months,” Dixon said. “[With student input] we have the potential to integrate new technology into what we already have now.”

Student involvement in the portal should not end there, Dixon said, as she is “hoping [to] get enough student support” so the new offering will be available for student use next year as well.

The test phase will run through May of this year, and soon thereafter University administrators will evaluate the utility of the program and decide whether it should continue.

Campus Council members also discussed the recently debated issue of landscape improvement on the main quads.

Members were originally roused by student concern two weeks ago to advocate improvements in the landscaping of the areas that students use most, and this

Science expert explores Crilll o l3 n0 f S process of innovation by

Andrew Collins THE CHRONICLE

Pre-eminent science policy expert Lewis Branscomb, Trinity ’47, explored the gap between inventions and innovations in a lecture at the School of Law

Thursday.

Branscomb said the process by which a high-tech commercial invention proceeds to the marketplace—and thus becomes an innovation, according to his definition of the term—is relatively unexplored. He likened it to a “Valley of Death” or “Darwinian Sea,” and spent a large portion of his presentation showing how idea sources, geography and funding sources help illuminate the dark chasm between invention and innovation.

The first step is hatching the idea of a commercial invention. promising Branscomb identified individual entrepeneurs, universities, government-fueled research, so-called “angel” investors with novel business models or market opportunities and corporate spin-outs as the most common idea sources.

Whether anything comes of these ideas, he said, is partly a function of geography.

Locations such as Silicon Valley and Boston are hotbeds for innovation while other places, like Albany/Schenectady/Troy, N.Y, founder in comparison. He pointed to the preponderance of trusted financing networks and a more innovative spirit as geographical keys to innovation.

Funding for the transition from invention to innovation comes from three prin-

cipal sources: corporate seed venture capital, the federal government and angel investors. He said these angel investors are often experienced technology entrepeneurs who use their wealth and financing contacts to gready aid younger inventors, making them particularly important in the process of innovation. Regardless of the source, the would-be innovator must convince all relevant parties that the idea will work and then must back up the claim with data.

As he projected a giant “R & D” onto a wall, Branscomb described what he felt was the most important part of the research and development of high-tech goods. “Everybody talks about R & D. But it really isn’t about the ‘R,’ and it really isn’t about the ‘D,’” he said. “It’s about the Branscomb is the Aetna professor of public policy and corporate management emeritus at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, a former chair of the National Science Board, a former director of the Science, Technology and Public Policy Program in the Center for Science and International Affairs at the Kennedy School and a former vice president and chief scientist of IBM Corporation.

“Today, wherever science policy is discussed, Lewis Branscomb is there giving his wise counsel,” said law professor Jerome Reichman in an introduction to Branscomb’s speech, which was the fourth in the annual Meredith and Kip Frey Lecture in Intellectual Property series.

Enron's former executive indicted for fraud by

Kurt Eichenwald

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

HOUSTON —Jeffrey Skilling, the former chief executive ofEnron, was indicted Thursday on charges that he conspired to disguise the company’s troubled financial performance while profiting from sales of stock inflated by false earnings reports.

Skilling, who pleaded not guilty at an arraignment here, was charged with 35 counts of fraud, insider trading and conspiracy. Simultaneously, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil fraud action against Skilling, seeking the forfeit of all “ill-gotten gains,” including the compensation he received at Enron, which filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2001.

The collapse of Enron, a once-staid pipeline business that Skilling transformed into a global energytrading giant, sent a clear signal that the boom years of the bubble era had come to an end. Investors lost billions in the debacle, which quickly became enmeshed in Washington politics because of the company’s ties to White House officials.

While Enron seemed an isolated case at first, it was soon eclipsed by accounting scandals at an array of companies including WorldCom, Tyco and others that shook investor confidence in the integrity of corporate financial disclosures and led to sweeping revisions in federal securities laws.

The accusations against Skilling range from outright criminal violations that significandy affected reported profits to more subde earnings-management techniques widespread in corporate America in the 19905. They depict Enron as a struggling enterprise that grew deeply dependent on accounting manipulation to maintain its image as a financial powerhouse that turned in reliable

performances.

Indeed, prosecutors have assembled a case that appears to depend not so much on the specific effect ofany one accusation but instead on the overall impact of a range of activities over many years. In quarter after quarter, Enron is portrayed in the indictment as struggling to

find another one-shot technique to lift its earnings to meet or exceed Wall Street’s projections, helping the stock price continue what had been an almost uninterrupted climb over more than a decade.

With the indictment Thursday, 29 people have been charged with crimes related to the collapse of Enron, including 20 former executives. Of those, nine have pleaded guilty, including Andrew Fastow, Enron’s former chief financial officer, who structured a series of off-the-books partnerships that were used to manipulate the company’s financial performance. The Skilling charges were added to an indictment already filed against Richard Causey, Enron’s former chief accounting officer.

Skilling, 50, surrendered just before 7 a.m. Thursday to agents at the Houston field office of the FBI. Agents then led him in handcuffs to the federal courthouse, where he appeared before Magistrate Judge Martha Crone. After his

plea, he was ordered released on a $5 million bond and surrendered his passport.

As part of the charges, the government will seek forfeiture of $66 million in cash and real estate from Skilling. It will also seek assets worth $6 million from Causey.

Prosecutors hailed the charges as a demonstration of the strength of their pursuit of wrongdoing at Enron.

“The Skilling indictment demonstrates in no uncertain terms that no executive is too prominent or too powerful and that no scheme to defraud is too complex or too fancy to avoid the long arm of the law,” James Comey, the deputy attorney general, said at a news conference in Washington.

But, in the first salvo of what is sure to be a long-running legal battle, Skilling’s lawyers lashed out at the prosecution, saying that the charges were a result of a predeSEE ENRON ON PAGE 10

S.F. sues California over state marriage laws

by Dean Murphy NEW TORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Officials here SAN FRANCISCO moved Thursday to force a constitutional showdown with opponents of same-sex marriage by suing the state of California over state laws that define marriage as an institution between a man and a woman.

The lawsuit backs the core assertion by Mayor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, that marriage definitions in the state’s family code violate the state Constitution.

It was also certain to further inflame tensions over Newsom’s directive last week to issue same-sex marriage licenses, which had already led to two legal challenges by

conservative and religious groups.

“The city and county ofSan Francisco is going on offense today in protecting the mayor’s action,” said City Attorney Dennis Herrera, who filed the lawsuit.

“Mayor Newsom took a bold step last week, and we fully agree with him that his position is justified and that the California Constitution provides that there should be equal opportunity under the law, and not just for straight people but for gay and lesbian people as well.”

The state attorney general, Bill Lockyer, who had been silent about the same-sex marriages, said in a statement that “it is the duty of my office to defend” the state

against the lawsuit. The city contends in the suit that the state family code violates both the Constitution’s equal protection clause and its due process clause by not giving equal opportunity to same-sex couples.

“The issue of whether state statutes prohibiting same-sex marriages violate Constitutional protections is emerging as one of the great legal and civil rights issues of our day, and the question must be answered by our courts,” said Lockyer, a Democrat.

But Lockyer also offered a hint of the political minefield that Newsom seemed to have laid by making a personal observation that sounded a lot like an endorsement of the mayor.

“As a lifelong defender of civil rights, due process and equal protection for all,” Lockyer said, “I do not personally support policies that give lesser legal rights and responsibilities to committed samesex couples than those provided to heterosexual couples.”

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, said that Lockyer “has assured me that he will vigorously defend the constitutionality of the law.”

The governor also said that the altered marriage licenses in San Francisco, which must be filed with the state Department of Health Services, “fail to meet legal standards.”

U.S. to demand North Korea dismantle nukes by

Steven Weisman and David

Sanger NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON The United States will demand that North Korea agree to dismantle all its nuclear weapons and development programs—including a uranium enrichment program that Pakistan is believed to have supplied in recent years —as a prerequisite for any assistance, a George W. Bush administration official said Thursday.

But in a briefing Thursday, in advance of negotiations with North Korea in Beijing next week, the administration official said he would not specify whether any commitment to dismantle the uranium enrichment program, along with other weapons programs, had to be explicit.

He also did not specify whether the administration would settle for a more vaguely worded commitment from North Korea to eliminate all its nuclear programs.ln an administration that is still split over how hard a line to take in the nenext week

gotiations, the handling of the uranium program may determine whether the talks move forward or fail.

Confronted with intelligence gathered by the United States and South Korea, North Korea admitted to U.S. officials in October 2002 that it had an active program to enrich uranium, in addition to its much older effort to turn spent plutonium into a weapon. But it has denied the existence of the uranium program in subsequent meetings, and U.S. intelligence officials said Thursday that they still could not determine where the uranium program was located.

In recent months, China, citing the failure to find weapons in Iraq, has questioned the quality of U.S. intelligence about the North Korean program, and suggested that it should not be a focus of the negotiations that are to begin February 25. But the confession last month ofAbdul Qadeer Khan, the father of the Pakistani nuclear program, included an admission that he had provided nuclear technology to North Korea.

“Khan’s statements have made it imperative that this program be dismantled right away,” a senior administration official said Thursday.

Echoing what was said at the briefing, but taking a more threatening posture, another senior U.S. official charged in Japan that any failure by North Korea to acknowledge its enriched uranium program could derail the plan for setding the issue without military force.

“I think North Korea’s unwillingness to discuss the uranium enrichment program could subvert President Bush’s determinationfor a peaceful, diplomatic resolution of the North Korean issue,” the official, John Bolton, undersecretary of state for nonproliferation, said in an interview with NHK, the Japanese broadcast network.

The broader objective of the talks, the official at the briefing in Washington said, would be for North Korea to make a fundamental choice to abandon its nuclear aspirations altogether.

The Moral Case for Supporting Israel A Lecture By Dr. Yaron Brook Executive Director of the Ayn Rand Institute In a Mideast dominated by Arab monarchies, theocracies and dictatorships—lsrael is a tree country standing as the lone bastion of Western civilization in that region. Yet for decades Israel has faced growing international pressure—often led by the United States—to compromise with its enemies, and act against its self-interest. In this talk, Dr. Brook argues that the United States should unequivocally support Israel’s effort at self-defense; diat allowing Israel to rid itself of terrorist and foreign military threats is in America’s best interests. Israel is our only true ally in the Mideast, and supporting it is the only moral tiling for the United States to do.

The Edwards camp is now reaching out to former Dean supporters, and Turlington said it is confident it can gain their votes because Edwards presents “visions of reform and changing Washington” similar to Dean’s projections for the future.

Political science professor John Aldrich, however, said that whether the Dean fallout will help or harm Edwards remains to be seen.

“It certainly simplifies things,” Aldrich said. “While Dean was not winning, he was carrying some constituencies. Now it’s just head-to-head. But unlike a lot of the times where it’s clear where [a drop-out’s] sup porters will go, I think Dean supporters are up for grabs and may go for either Kerry or Edwards.”

ing in American forces; France and Canada have volunteered to send police, but only in the context of a peace deal.

Working in concert with their regional allies and France by telephone, administration officials Thursday put the final touches on a plan that calls on President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to appoint a new government, strengthen the police and release detainees, while requiring that his opponents disarm and enter a political dialogue, officials said.

Powell said Aristide’s resignation is not part of the plan, though he left open the possibility that the president might step

money out there. It is a huge political chalto pull off a win in states like California or New York without that money.”

Turlington, however, said that on Wednesday alone, Edwards’s campaign raised $750,000, a sign that its moneymaking abilities are strong. He also pointed out that paid advertising will not be the only avenue for publicizing Edwards to voters.

“Even though advertising is important, with only two candidates, the free press coverage on TV and in the newspapers will increase,” Turlington said.

After 17 primaries and a month of candidates dropping out as their support dwindled, some Democratic critics have called for Edwards to follow suit and allow the party to unite behind Kerry in preparation for the general election. Aldrich, however, said that prolonging the largely positive contest could actually improve the Democratic nominee’s chances in the fall, whoever that nominee might be.

“It keeps focus on the Democratic candidates rather than [President George W.] Bush,” he said. ‘That’s the strongest reason

for staying in... keeping the media’s attention in this period is important.”

Despite this possible benefit, Aldrich said that Edwards still needs to look realistically at his chances of winning the Democratic nomination, particularly after the 10 primaries on Super Tuesday.

“If he absolutely wins no states, then it is a good time [to step out],” Aldrich said. “Over half of the delegates will be chosen by then and he'll be running out of opportunities.”

With Super Tuesday and the other March primaries looming only days away, Edwards has pushed criticism aside and focused his attentions on communicating his platform to voters. Turlington said that for the Edwards camp, the race against Kerry is far from over; in fact, it has only just begun.

“If we were playing a football game, we would only have played one quarter, and who would call off a football game after only one quarter?” Turlington asked.

“There are still millions of people to vote in the upcoming primaries and caucuses in March.”

down under a negodated settlement.

“If an agreement is reached that moves that in another direction, that’s fine,” Powell told Sam Donaldson in an interview broadcast Thursday on ABC Radio. “But right now, he has no intention to step down, and since he is the elected leader of Haiti, we should not be putting forward a plan that would require him to step down.”

A defiant Aristede, speaking at a ceremony at the National Palace in Port-auPrince in honor of policemen killed since the uprising began, told a somber crowd that he would not cede the presidency.

“I am ready to give my life if that is what it takes to defend my country,” he said.

A seniorforeign diplomat said that easing

Haiti’s impasse is complicated by the ambivalence that many officials feel toward Aristide, who refused to hold new parliamentary elections after allegations of fraud in 2000.

“It’s very difficult that people put their forces at risk to defend that,” the diplomat said. “It’s not a full democracy.”

Aristide has repeatedly said he will serve out his term, which ends in 2006. He became Haiti’s first elected president in 1990; he was ousted in a coup, then reinstated by American forces in 1994. Since then, his relationship with the United States has been strained, with American officials challenging what they say is his uncompromising style and rule by intimidation.

Administration officials say Aristide has already embraced an accord put forth by

the Caribbean Community, or Caricom, though that documentremains secret.

The Caricom accord, which is the basis for the proposal being drafted, calls for the appointment of a new prime minister, who is neutral and independent, a government of national unity and the establishment of a new electoral commission, officials said.

Some observers said that such reforms are a tall order for a country in turmoil, and they note that many Aristide opponents say they will accept nothing less than his departure.

March 2, Edwards is focusing more than ever on “drawing distinctions” between himself and Kerry, attempdng to criticize his competitor while at the same time retaining his trademark positive tone. He has called for a debate with Kerry in Georgia and has denounced his rival’s support offree trade.

Despite the confidence the Edwards camp exudes about its candidate’s prospects of defeating Kerry in debates and primaries in the coming weeks, Aldrich pointed out the most obvious obstacle Edwards faces: Kerry is still winning.

“Kerry already has a lead in delegates,” Aldrich said. “Even if [he and Edwards] tied from here on out and split the delegates, Kerry would win. So Edwards has to calculate some way to get ahead.”

Ted Benson, chair of the Durham Democratic Party, said Edwards may also facefinancial challenges in the upcoming primary states.

“A lot of the early money went for Dean, now a lot of the establishment money is going to Kerry,” Benson said. “Realistically, where is Edwards’ money going to come from? There’s only so much

“The other aspects of the department, though we wish to be collegial and supportive, are not rightfully a core mission of the School of Medicine.”

Lange downplayed the effect this move would have on undergraduates, saying he did not expect a decline in the number of students taught by the department, but instead predicted an increase.

Academic Council Chair Dr. Nancy Allen reminded council members that the name of the department would change under the proposal; the word anatomy would be removed from the name as the program phases anatomy instruction out over time. While Lange said that biological anthropology would be the new title, the official decision has not yet been made.

The School of Medicine currendy utilizes faculty from BAA to teach gross anatomy to its medical students. As part of the proposal, the School ofMedicine will condnue to pay for faculty and post-doctoral and graduate students responsible for teaching anatomy, said School of Medicine Dean Dr. Sandy Williams.

While the short-term change will be minimal, the medical school will eventually become responsible for its own instruction of anatomy with the incremental retirement of current BAA faculty members over subsequent years.

“Some schools of medicine are abandoning direct dissection of human cadavers altogether... [but] we are committed to the continued contact of students with the cadaver for the foreseeable future, and we will do what’s necessary to maintain that,” Williams said.

a time when there will be a new president and a new chancellor for health affairs, some strategies and priorities will change,” Keohane said. “I doubt that they will change radically; but that's for the future, and our successors, to decide.”

President-elect Richard Brodhead met extensively with Shepard before the announcement was finalized and gave a ringing endorsement to the new development and alumni affairs chief. “Building support for the university's ongoing mission and many new initiatives is a crucial and never-ending task,” Brodhead said.

“Duke will have a great leader for this task in Bob Shepard.”

Shepard said he was excited about working with Brodhead and responding to the academic plans and strategic goals of the new administration.

“Obviously, there are a lot of changes with President Brodhead,” he said, “but change is invigorating.”

Under the by-laws of the council, voting on the issue was delayed until the March meeting.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: President Nan Keohane gave three presentations to the council on issues including the official allocation of the $2.36 billion raised during the Campaign for Duke, the impact of the USA PATRIOT Act on faculty responsibilities and the proposed University guidelines for socially-responsible investing.

Keohane reported that $774 million was contributed to Duke’s endowment across all schools and programs, a figure that was twice the value of the total endowment when the Campaign for Duke began. The endowment contributed to the funding of 132 professorships, student financial aid and libraries. Keohane said the current endowment stands at over $2.5 billion.

Keohane also touted a long list of “transformational” facilities that were funded by the campaign—notably the Perkins Library renovations, the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences and the Nasher Museum ofArt.

In addition to a more aggressive police approach, Bell talked about several community-based programs that he believes have had an impact on crime. One such program is Project Safe Neighborhoods, which works with the faith-based community, the Office of District Attorney and the Durham Police Department to deal with gun violence. Bell also urged citizens to play a greater role in working with the police to fight crime.

“We’re asking people to phone in tips and really be willing to communicate with the Police Department regarding instances of crimes,” Bell said. “People should not be afraid to report something.”

The need for average citizens to play a role in reducing crime is an idea embraced

by John Schelp, president of the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association, which includes the area around Ninth Street.

“We need to build stronger bridges [in the community],” Schelp said. “We don’t need police behind glass windows.”

Schelp noted that members of his association work with police officers through the Partners Against Crime organization and take weekly walks through the neighborhood to report problems like broken windows.

Schelp also said they have talked to the Duke University Police Department about increasing foot and bicycle patrols along Ninth and Broad streets when the DUPD begins patrolling areas off East Campus.

For Schelp, the source of crime in

Durham can be traced to economic development patterns.

“In Durham, the problem is you have the highest level of poverty in the inner suburbs,” Schelp said. “People move far out into the suburbs and so economic development is going farther and farther out.

To take one example, Southpoint Mall killed South Square Mall in Durham, as you lost local stores and local jobs, [which helped] create this inner ring of poverty.”

Both Schelp and Bell agreed that Duke can help with Durham’s fight against crime.

“Duke University is like any other community,” Bell said. “I think it has a certain amount ofcivic responsibility. It has an opportunity to improve our neighborhood and provide opportunities to youth, which it currently does.”

Bell stressed the need to provide positive alternatives to teenagers so they do not turn to crime.

“One of the things that came across in [“Welcome to Durham”] is, in spite of all the things these kids were involved in, pretty much all of them said if they had an alternative, like jobs or a role model, they might not be in a gang.”

COUNCIL from page 3 issue has been an extended priority of the legislators.

At last week’s meeting, top administrators told legislators that if improvements are to be made, students must scale down the intensity of activities on the main quads. Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli did not take well to that advice, as he pledged not to compromise student programming for the betterment of the grounds.

Searching for alternative ways of solving this problem, Vitarelli, Crowell representative Basil Camu and Wannamaker representative Hany Elmariah met with Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. After discussions, members believe they have found ah advocate in him.

“He 100-percent agrees that students are not to blame for the state of the grounds in the quads, and he has a vision for the solution of this problem,” Vitarelli said.

Vitarelli said he is confident that an alliance with Trask is in student interest. “He’s very understanding of this, and he really prioritizes the aesthetics of Duke’s campus,” Vitarelli said.

To illustrate his point, Vitarelli reported that Trask has already pledged to take action in one area.

“He promised to re-sod Wannamaker within seven days.”

IN OTHER BUSINESS: Damjan DeNoble, an East Campus representative, reported that the Duke University Union has funded the East Campus Council’s effort to bring Sister Hazel for a concert that will take place on East Campus toward the end of the semester.

conversation in case a couple ran out of things to talk about.

However, most people came up with conversation topics on their own just fine.

On another date, Forehand and his match began a conversation about world travel, during which she spoke about her adventures in Greece. Forehand interjected with “I was in Greece in high school!” Just as his date began to ask excited questions about why he went and where exactly he visited in Greece, Forehand interrupted, “No, no, Grease the play, I had the lead role.”

His date, thinking Forehand was hilarious, laughed non-stop.

The five minutes were soon up and the daters, hesitant to leave, headed off to find their next dates.

Although most of the dates seemed to go smoothly on the surface, some matches may not have been perfect. At the end of the event, participants made their personal decision about each of their partners, privately checking yes or no to the question of whether or not they wanted to

keep in contact with any or all of their eight dates. If both parties express the desire to go out again, Speed Dating organizers will act as intermediaries, exchanging the students’ personal information via e-mail.

For the most part, participants were not desperate students seeking love, but rather just looking to meet new people and have a good time. Inter-departmental mingling was a focus for the night, as organizers tried to match students with a date outside of their department.

Although with some couples, such as Forehand and his dates, the departmental variety didn’t occur, for others, the mix of people was a refreshing change.

“It’s really hard to get outside ofyour program,” said Megan Fotheringham, a second year MPP student. “This is a good opportunity to meet new people.”

Due to the speed of the dates, the night was also a convenient way to meet a lot of people at once.

“It’s not just about dating, it’s about the mingling too.

It would probably take about 20 nights out to meet all of these people, and this condenses them into an hour,” said Ted Clark, a first year MPP student and another organizer. “All myfriends do at home is sit around and complain about how tough it is to meet people.... As soon as

“From the moment the Enron task force was designated, there was a decision to go after Jeff Skilling and demonize this company,” said Bruce Hiler, one ofSkilling’s lawyers. ‘The government’s role is to investigate cases, not to create cases.”

Outside the courthouse, Daniel Petrocelli, another lawyer for Skilling, criticized the prosecution for what he said was a failure to account for information favorable to his client.

When the women’s swimming and for teams departed Charlottesville, Va. and the 2004 ACC Championships, they undoubtedly left with high hopes. Not even the most optimistic Blue Devil, however, would anticipate that after two days of competition Duke would be in fifth position and boast an ACC champion to its credit.

That is exactly what has unfolded, however—the Blue Devils are currently ahead of Georgia Tech, N.C. State, and Clemson, and Katie Ness stunned the ACC by winning the 200-yard individual medley event with a time of 2:00.27, a Duke record that will also automatically qualify Ness for the NCAA Championships.

Blue Devils can clinch ACC title Sunday From staff reports Last time Maryland and Duke met, the Terrapin post players were no match for the mighty Blue Devils, and Duke exploited the mismatch. The Blue Devils pulled down 21 offensive rebounds, resulting in 26 second-chance points, and muscled their way to a 36-6 scoring advantage in the paint.

Not surprisingly, Duke nearly doubled-up Maryland with a 101-52victory January 22nd.

The Blue Devils (21-3, 12-1 in the ACC) hope to repeat the performance when they travel to College Park Sunday for a second matchup with Maryland (15-10, 7-7). The game, initially scheduled for 4 p.m., has been moved to noon and will air on ESPN2.

A win against the Terps would secure the Blue Devils’ third-consecutive ACC regular-season tide. Head coach Gail Goestenkors’ team has already grabbed the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament after defeating Virginia 87-54 at home Thursday night.

On the offensive end, Maryland is led by a pair of freshmen, Shay Doron and Kalika France, who averaged 13.0 and 11.7 points per game respectively. While the duo has paced the Terrapins, second-year head coach Brenda Frese nonetheless lacks a go-to player when the game comes down to the final minutes.

THE CHRONICLE

With the score tied at 20 early in the Duke women’s basketball game against visiting Virginia on Thursday night, Blue Devil coach Gail Goestenkors noticed that her team was a bit slow.

“I thought we started off a little sluggish,” Goestenkors said. “We turned the ball over. Fifteen times in the first half was a little distressing.”

The early sluggishness quickly turned into Duke dominance, as the home team responded with a commanding 14-3 run into the intermission. The Blue Devils proceeded to run away with the game in the second half, eventually chalking up an 8754 victory over the Cavaliers (12-13, 5-8 in the ACC). All-American Alana Beard once again led Duke (21-3, 12-1), pouring in 27 points, while Lindsey Harding tied a career-high with nine assists.

cal foul lights fire under Blue Devils Nothing was going smoothly for Duke.

With four minutes and change left in the first half, the Blue Devils had committed 11 turnovers, and were ahead of a weak Virginia team by only five points. But with a quick sleight of hand Alana Beard made a game-changing play.

After Brittany Hunter bricked a short floater in the lane, Virginia’s Brandi Teamer the grabbed rebound and secured the ball with two hands.

However, like a tiger stalking its prey, Beard snuck up behind Teamer and slapped the ball out of her grip.

Then Beard retrieved the ball and attacked the basket.

Teamer was helpless as Beard maneuvered around her and kissed the ball off the glass for two points.

Cavalier head coach Debbie Ryan erupted. She marched right up to the official on the baseline and vehemendy demanded an explanation for why Beard was allowed to knock into Teamer and get away with it.

From the sidelines it appeared that therewas contact on the play, but nothing too unusual. The ruling could’ve gone either way, but it was not a certain missed call. When Duke SEE THE MOMENT ON PAGE 16

DUKE 6 OLD DOMINION 1

Blue Devils nearly sweep ODU This year’s women’s tennis team may have a number of new faces, but nothing about its home dominance has changed. The No. 10 Blue Devils (5-1) defeated Old Dominion (3-4) by a score of 6-1 for their 20th consecutive home victory.

“Its a good win,” sophomore Julia Smith said. “It’s the first home game for all of the freshmen, of which we have a lot, so it’s good to win this easily.”

Duke swept the doubles matches as Smith teamed up with All-American Amanda Johnson to defeat the Lady Monarchs’ Nataly Cahana and Kerstin Endlich in first doubles, 9-7. The other Blue Devil pairs ofKristin Cargill and Saras Arasu at the No. 3 position and Tory Zawacki and Jennifer Zika at No. 2 each won their matches 8-5 and 8-1, respectively.

In singles Duke performed particularly well, earning quick 6-1, 6-0 victories from Zika, Smith and Cargill.

“Even though we won the doubles point, it’s good to win fast singles so the other players don’t have as much pressure. I think that’s important,” Zika said.

Arasu won her match with Old Dominion’s Coralie Herrmann by a score of 6-3, 6-0 and Zawacki had to fight back from a set behind to win her match 4-6, 6-4, 1-0.

Fifth-ranked Amanda Johnson struggled with her opponent, No. 33 Nataly Cahana, losing in straight sets. Her first set was marred by unforced errors, and she lost the match in a second-set tiebreaker by a score of 6-2, 7-6 (7-4).

“It’s a tough matchup. She makes you hit winners and keeps the ball really low,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth said of Cahana.

After last night’s victory, Duke must now focus on top-10 showdown with sixth-ranked Saturday’s Northwestern at 1:00 in Durham.

“Northwestern fights really well,” Ashworth said. “We need to be very disciplined in what we do. We need to compete the same we did today, but play a little smarter.”

for her team in the 200 IM by finishing 16th with a time of 2:07.60. Julia Lewis was Duke’s final individual points contributor—her time of 23.96 in the 50-yard freestyle was good for 14th overall.

Part of the Blue Devils’ success can also be directly attributed to the unprecedented success of their traditionally weak relay teams —Duke set a school record in all three relays it raced. On Wednesday, the Blue Devils finished seventh in the 200-yard medley relay, ahead of N.C. State, and fifth in the 800-yard freestyle relay.

Thursday, Duke further widened the gap between it and the Wolfpack by defeating them in the 200-yard

So how did the Duke swimmers spend Thursday night after vaulting themselves into fifth position with only two days of competition remaining?

two seasons, holds the advantage if this contest happens to go down to the wire.

Maryland’s offensive strength is on the perimeter, but the Blue Devils have the athletic, defensive-minded guards to stymie the Terps, as they did in the January meeting. Frese’s team shoots well from behind the three-point line, led by

Alii Spence who has hit half ofher shots from behind the arc this season.

On the free-throw line, Maryland may be able to make up some ground on the Blue Devils if Duke puts its opponent into the bonus early. The team shoots .718 from the line, tops in the conference.

Duke marshaled 101 points the last time the teams met, exploiting the Terps’ soft interior defense. The versatile kiss Tillis will likely prove a difficult challenge again for Maryland, which has the fifth-ranked scoring defense in ACC play.

The Terps allowed North Carolina to post 79 points, including 44 in the second half, in a 79-64 loss Thursday night.

Sportsßriefs TRACK I ACC CHAMPIONSHIPS

The indoor track and field teams will compete the ACC Championship meet held in Clemson, S.C. all day today and tomorrow. Both the men’s and women’s teams are deeper and stronger in the distance events, but the rest of the ACC will likely dominate the sprint events.

The men’s team is led by Nick Schneider, who was named the most recent ACC Men’s Performer of the Week. He clocked a school record time of 8:14.47 in last week’s 3000-meter run at the Armory Collegiate Invitational Meet. In the 5000meter event, Duke poses a strong threat to the rest of the ACC, as six of the best 10 times in the event are held by Blue Devil runners. In the field events, Duke’s Brent Warner and North Carolina’s Noah Cosby are tied with the top performances in the pole vault at 17-0.75”.

Similarly, the women’s team’s strength lies with its distance runners. Like the men’s team, the women’s distance medley relay team has a considerable advantage over the rest of the ACC. The Blue Devils have at least three of the ACC’s top-10 performers in every distance event. In the mile run, Duke’s Shannon Rowbury is less than a second behind Florida State’s Natalie Hughes for the top time in the ACC. The women’s field team, while not the strongest in the ACC, should be competitive in the high jump and pole vault events. —Sarah Kwak at

UMBC

The women’s lacrosse team heads north to open its season against the University of MarylandBaltimore County at 1:00 p.m. today. Duke has a 20 record against UMBC in its short history with the school. The Blue Devils defeated UMBC 18-4 last season. Duke returns nine starters from a 13-5 squad of a year ago, including sophomore Katie Chrest, who led the Blue Devils in goals, assists, points, and shots last season. Head coach Kirsten Kimel’s team hopes to reach the NCAA Tournament for the seventh consecutive year.

THE CHRONICLE

16I FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2001

MARYLAND from page 11 Cameron Crazies in the same manner the Terrapins did in recent years, the men’s basketball team’s recent back-toback losses to N.C. State and Wake Forest, respectively, has fans desperate to

help.

“I think it will be important for the crowd to psyche the team up that much more after its two losses,” said sophomore Matt Mullane, who is in tent No. 45.

While certainly the game will be decided by the players on the court, the 2004 game is as much about the fans as the athletes.

Gary Maryland head coach Williams admonished his school’s fans after the Duke game in College Park, but also said his school was not the

only place that needed reform.

understand: got [Vulgar cheers are] rampant throughout the country right now,” Williams said to the Washington Post. “But because we're in Washington, D.C., we seem to get more attention than other places.”

Many at Duke are concerned that the Cameron Crazies will be compared to their Maryland counterparts, especially after a student’s editorial in The Chronicle advocated the taunting of D.J. Strawberry for his relation to his father, Darryl Strawberry. The elder Strawberry had a much-publicized drug addiction problem throughout his Major League Baseball Career.

With all the expectation for loud chants, Wine feels silence would be the most effective crowd response to “You've

to

Strawberry, who is averaging only 5.7 points per game.

“I think what would really make a statement is if we just ignored him and said, ‘You’re not that important,”’ Wine said.

Who the Blue Devils (21-3, 10-2) will have to worry about are John Gilchrist, Nik Caner-Medley and Jamar Smith, all of whom average over 12 points per game. With a two-game losing streak, Duke looks to regroup against the scrappy Terrapins, but Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski still is more concerned about how hard his team works rather than the results of its games.

“If we play this hard then I will be happy with the team,” Krzyzewski said.

“I don't measure my team by their record, I measure them by their performance.”

THE MOMENT fro m page,2 and Virginia square off, it’s always a physical contest, and the officials were letting both teams get away with some rough play.

For her efforts, Ryan was awarded a technical foul which changed the flow of the game. From that point on the Blue Devils demolished the Cavaliers, 60-34. After the game, Beard gave her thoughts about the play.

‘1 think as a team we needed some intensity in thefirst half,” Beard said. “Usually when another coach gets a technical, it’s a boost for their team, but I think it was more of a boost for our team. We really needed that intensity out there. I definitely thinkit was a turning point for us.”

Ryan, meanwhile, had a different point ofview.

‘I don’t get technical fouls. It’s just not my nature, it’s not about me at a11.... We’re not allowed to talk about the officiating, but I just felt like we were getting the short end of the stick tonight Some players were allowed to do things that other players aren’tallowed to do in thewhole league.”

and-scream”—as in, when you roll over the next morning, you are so horrified at what you find next to you that you scream. The natural post-roll-and-scream response is to try (ineffectively) to correct for the previous night’s utter lack of judgment (read: beer) and make the person leave immediately; maybe if they leave soon, they were never even there (keep dreaming). You know you are a victim of this when the car does not come to a complete stop when you are told to jump. On the other hand, a 3 p.m. ride after a noon breakfast bodes well.

The third is also a popular favorite.

Daisy, for one, has mastered the move. Her friends double as her a.m. version ofCharBeckett lene’s. One morning it’s 203 Watts, then 611 Watts, then 603 Watts.... One could alChapel ways tell from the tone in Daisy’s voice (not to mention the time of the call) how acceptable the hookup was.

“Hehe, I might need a ride... I’m on (shocker) Watts” Hot. “Umm, could you please come get me... now... from the house by the house we were at last night” Embarrassing beyond words.

“Haha, I’m at [location bleeped out to protect the innocent]. Can you bring us breakfast and come cuddle?”

It was not always like this. Like the diagram of evolution, that starts as a hunched over crawl and ultimately ends walking upright, the walk of shame evolved from slip-

was the second morning in a row (okay, maybe there were a few days in between, but it sounds funnier this way) that Maddy had woken Sidney up.

“Hmmm...?” Sidney answered her cell phone, which then and there she vowed to silence at night.

“Do you think maybe I could borrow your car?”

Maddy asked. ‘Just for a few minutes?”

Sidney knew exactly what this was about and greatly appreciated the fact that Maddy wanted to borrow the car, rather than have Sidney play chauffer again. The day before (or whenever exactly it was), Maddy simply had requested a ride to campus, not telling Sidney that she would be driving a party of two. Sidney had almost swallowed her tangerine Altoid when Sex and the Maddy walked out of her bay with an UHU (unidentified hook-up). In the car ride to West (because that was where said UHU lived), Sidney had felt like a mom making awkward conversation to try to avoid the fact that her daughter was hooking up.

For upperclassmen, the “walk of shame” can take three basic forms: 1) the drive home; 2) the ride request or 3) the pick-up. Maddy’s was an example of the second, when neither party has a car at the given point in time.

The first, of course, is the MVP of the system. Its telling variable is the time at which it occurs. A pre-9 a.m. departure time is generally indicative of a “roll-

The prestigious law firm Dewey Ballantine recently had to deal with a racist email that had circulated around its office. In response to an e-mail asking if anyone wanted to adopt a dog, one of the partners replied back to all something along the lines of keeping the dog away from a Chinese restaurant or else it would become dinner. Dewey Ballantine has been apologetic, and has also broadcasted that it will have its employees undergo “sensitivity training and awareness” to rectify the problem. That sounds great, but in all honesty it does not address the problem because it’s taking place after the matter, and a guy gets away with making a racist comment with no action taken against him.

Some will say “so what?” he expressed his opinion. Others may argue, “He was joking; he is not a racist, he made a stupid mistake.” Ignorant, yeah, I’ll buy that. However, I also believe that with ignorance comes racism. It shows a lack of understanding, appreciation, acceptance, and tolerance of others who come from different backgrounds.

will not solve this problem. Regardless if they acted ignorantly or bigotedly, I do not want a stupid or racist person writing or editing for my daily newspaper. Pick the worse of two evils, ignorance and racism, and you end up with the same result. The Chronicle needs to do more than just bring in some overpriced sensitivity speaker and issue an apology. This type of condoning has gone on for too long. Actions have always spoken louder than words, and The Chronicle has not yet acted on this matter, but it still has a chance.

To the editors of The Chronicle: do not feel as if you are buckling under the pressure from the public or not adhering to your constitutional first amendment rights, but see it more as doing the right thing. Say that again: “doing the right thing.” Put pride aside and cut the cancer off before it spreads. You have a greater duty to your student body than you do to two students. Let them go. Let them go. Let them go.

ping between dorm doors into slipping out of two-door cars. Freshman year, it is as simple as walking between rooms and pretending you were just coming out of the bathroom. Unless, that is, if you slept on West. Then you can take the East-West bus, a one-way ticket to utter humiliation. Or pull the let’s-first-walk-to-the-Blue-Zone-andthen-drive-to-East, doubling the bus time because Duke’s parking rivals its Coach Franks-era football team.

Sophomore year perhaps marks the peak of the walk of shame bell curve: All you have to do is walk between quads. Just do it before classes (or, better yet, church).

Other fun modes of transportation can break up the cycle. The cab of shame (very desperate to leave) and the pledge (because if you have them, you should use them) are two seldom-used goodies.

But the whole process does not have to be shameful. freshman A guy reflected on his overnight with a sophomore on West. “Going to the bus stop could have been a walk of shame, but it most definitely was not. It was a strut of pride. I had a bounce in my step and the biggest smile ever on my face.”

That is what walks of shame should strive toward. This column (if you didn’t notice) made no progress in solving world peace, but maybe it put a little smile on your face this Friday (not to mention made you look at the guy next you in Alpine —yes, the one with the wrinkled dress shirt that smells like Maker’s—with a “I Know What You Did Last Night” eye).

We want to remind everyone about the bonfire policy we established several years ago, which will again govern this year’s activities. The victory celebrations following big games in recent years have been what we have all hoped for, and ones in which the Duke community could take pride.

The same rules will remain in effect this year and, with your cooperation, we will continue to celebrate our victories safely and enthusiastically. In keeping with this goal, we remind you of some key concerns: The University will obtain City permits for four potential bonfires, on the days of men’s home games against Maryland (February 22) and UNC (March 6), and the Men’s and Women’s National Championship Games (April 5 and 6).

Bonfires on any other days will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution.

The City Fire Marshall asks that everyone stay at least 10 feet away from the fire

Please keep stacked benches to a reasonable height (not more than three) and do not climb on top. The tragedy at Texas A & M a few years ago provides ample evidence why.

If you carry a beverage, please use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad Do not sit or stand on building roofs Do not use dorm furniture as fuel for a bonfire. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited

The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. Any fires that are started outside of this area will be considered illegal and dealt with at the discretion of the City Fire Marshall and Duke University Police.

The City Fire Marshall has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is now a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.
