With a defense slightly tougher thah week-old bread an offense that found the bottom of the net time after time with long-range shots and powerful dunks from close, and, perhaps most importantly, a rocking and rolling Cameron Indoor Stadium filled with chants and cheers from wall to wall, Duke’s men’s hasketball team stifled visiting Maryland 86-63 in a cqmmanding fashion Sunday afternoon And on the heals of a nervous time, coming after back-toback losses to North Carolina State and Wake Forest last week—its only ACC defeats of the year—all is well again in Blue Devil Land. “Our guys really responded well to what’s happened this week, losing two really tough games,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We came out and, I thought, played really well today. We got back to playing better defense.” JJ. Redick paced the Blue Devils (22-3, 11-2 in the ACC) with an efficient day of marksmanship, making 6-of-10 shots, including 5-of-9 from three-point range, and teammate Shelden Williams logged a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds while freshmen Luol Deng added 17 in 24 minutes of play, including his

Wearing T-shirts with the phrase “His legacy lives on” proudly displayed on the back, the Reginaldo Howard Scholars gathered with other Duke community members in Reynolds Auditorium Saturday to commemorate their scholarship’s namesake and discuss racial issues on campus. The scholars organized the first Reginaldo Howard Day celebration, “Acting Black; Racial Identity at Duke,’? in honor of Howard, the first African American elected president of a University student government organization, who died in a car accident in 1976 before he could take office. The scholarship established in his name provides full tuition awards annually to five freshmen of African heritage who exhibit excellence in academics, service and leadership. The scholars are currently working to transform their role on campus. “Last year, we decided we we were going to take a presence as a student organization and not just a scholarship group,” sophomore scholar Brandon Hudson said. “We want people to know who we are, and we want to discuss student issues and what it means to be student leaders.” Hudson said the goal of Saturday’s event was not only to acknowledge BETSY MCDONALD/THE CHRONK

later meaning of Santilldn case still debated

Margaux Kanis and Liana Wyler THE CHRONICLE

One year ago this past Saturday, Jesica Santillan died at Duke University Hospital after a second heart-lung transplant that was intended to correct an initial organ transplantation incompatible with her blood type. Although investigations ultimately determined that a failure to communicate basic information between more than a dozen people across multiple organizations was responsible for the Santillan incident, members of the medical community continue to reflect on the events surrounding her death. A major point of contention for DUH

was the role of the media in publicizing the Santillan story, in which the credibility of the hospital and Dr. James Jaggers, the surgeon who performed the transplants, was severely damaged. “[The Santillan case] is just made for the media,” said Frank Sloan, director of the Center for Health Policy, Law and Management, J. Alexander McMahon professor of health policy and management, and professor of economics. “Here was a young, vulnerable person at this very powerful establishment, and there was a mistake.” The aggressive media coverage of the Santillan case led the public to believe that

medical errors are a rarity, medical student James Langheier said. ‘The tone of the media distracted the public. People think this never happens anywhere, but the number ofmedical errors actually made is absurd,” he said. The media, combined with the Santillan family’s “colorful” spokesperson Mack Mahoney, who Sloan said fed the media the Santillan situation as a “real, live human-interest piece,” made DUH the poster child for medical irresponsibility. “If it had not been Duke, there would have been less attention,” Sloan said. “If it were someone who was 80 years old, the news wouldn’t have covered it. The irony is

that medical errors happen all the time. And while [the Santillan situation] was happening, there could have been more errors elsewhere for the media to report.” In addition to the media, others involved in the situation highlighted the role Jaggers played in the Santillan case and emphasized that he should be blamed for the mistake. In an interview on the television show “60 Minutes” following Santillan’s death, Associate Professor of thoracic surgery Dr. Duane Davis identified his colleague as the source of the transplantation problems. “The initial misSEE SANTILLAN ON PAGE 16

Rebels seize second city in Haiti by Lydia Polgreen NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti Rebels seized control of Cap-Haitien, Haiti’s second largest city, Sunday, meeting little resistance as hundreds of residents cheered, burned the police station, plundered food from port warehouses and looted the airport, which was quickly closed. Police officers and armed supporters of President JeanBertrand Aristide fled. The rebel advance expanded the territory held by a ragtag army of insurgents to include virtually all of the northern region of the country and drove the nation deeper into chaos.

The insurgent leaders vowed that their compatriots would occupy the entire country within two weeks. While it was difficult to gauge the extent and momentum of the rebellion—the insurgents have refused to specify the exact size of their force—the seizure of Cap-Haitien was a major blow to Aristide. It throws into question whether an American-backed peace plan to create a power-sharing government could save the country from further mayhem. “We came here to free the people; we will free all the people,” Guy Philippe, the 36-year-old rebel commander said. He added that about 11

people were killed in taking the city, a figure still impossible to confirm. “We are ready to die for Haiti,” he said. “This is our advantage. No one wants to die for Aristide.” There was no immediate reaction from Aristide, who dissolved Haiti’s army a decade ago and has no significant military force to rally against the rebellion. Paulda Petime, a 23-year-old rebel dressed in camouflage, a bulletproof vest and a steel helmet, said he had helped lead about 200 rebels arriving here from Gonaives, the city where the SEE HAITI ON PAGE 14

Governors want dialogue with Bush by

Robert Tanner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Governors worried about increasing demands on National Guard units want to hear from President George W. Bush’s administration about its long-term strategy in the fight against terrorism. State leaders raised their concerns in a private meeting with the top Guard general and Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge. “It’s not that we’re not supportive of the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq,” said Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas. “We have to kind of step back and rethink the whole picture.” Like other governors, he said the part-time

soldiery has seen a transformation in recent years. Guard and Reserve soldiers make up about 22 percent of the forces in Iraq. That level is expected to rise to nearly 40 percent as a result of force rotations in the coming months. Lieutenant General Steven Blum, chief of the National Guard Bureau, which oversees all reserve forces, made a private presentation to governors at the winter meeting of the National Governors Association. The governors attended a formal dinner at the White House Sunday night and were welcomed by President Bush, who said the nation needs to remain vigilant against terrorism. “We’re still at war,” Bush said. ‘The war on terror is a new kind of war in which every American is threatened.”

settings, it would have been a

politically-incorrectjoke. But when a white supremacist speaker took the stand at the White Unity Rally Saturday in Raleigh, he was completely serious. “My four-year old nephew once asked me if Mexico had an Olympic team. I said, ‘No they don’t,’ and he asked why, and I answered, ‘Because anyone who knows how to swim is already over here,”’ he said against a background of colonial, Confederate and Nazi flags. That speaker was one of 30 area members ofwhite supremacy groups —including America’s neo-Nazi organization and theKu Klux Klan—who joined together in hopes of forming a “United Front of White Racialists.” The small core met with resistance from an estimated 500 protesters. Most striking to many of the protesters was the profusion of Nazi flags: a black swastika within a white circle on a red background. But more than the Nazi symbols or the Klansmen’s’ ritual clothing, the protesters themselves commanded observers’ attention, largely through signs and shouted slogans. And the protesters were disgusted. They answered rally participants’ shouts of “Sieg Heil” and “White Power” with “Go back to Hell” and other unprintable slogans. ‘We have homeland terrorism right here,” junior Emma Boa-Durgammah said of the rally. She mobilized a small group of Duke students after coming across a website for the rally, and estimated the presence of 50 Duke students among the protesters. “It seems so obvious why you would be here to resist Nazis,” said Diane Nelson, associate professor of cultural anthropology, who came across the Duke students in the crowd. “What the protesters are showing is that they reject racism. There are white people, brown people, black people and Asian people—there’s a wholesale resistance of this aspect ofhate.” Protesters advocated a wider, range of causes than anti-racism.

Report slams Bush on science by

Steve Veres

THE CHRONICLE

The signatures of Duke’s William

Schlesinger, dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment, Stuart Pimm, ecology professor, and John Gibbons, GraduSchool ’54, joined a list of more than 60 distinguished U.S. scientists in a 38page report condemning the Bush administration’s use of politics in scientific policymaking last week. “I have been fairly alarmed and disappointed by how the administration has been ignoring or not using documented science,” Schlesinger said. “I don’t think there has been any indication that the best science has been used to decide the best policies.” Others feel that, while previous administrations have tried to demote various aspects of science, the Bush administration has gone beyond that—in some cases trying to influence results. “No administration in the past, republican or democrat, has said we don’t want to hear the news,” said Pimm. “This is unprecedented. The decision of the administration to reach down into the committee level and to stack committees with industry friendly [senior scientists], and in some cases industry funded, has caused so much concern among the scientific community.” The report, “Scientific Integrity in Policymaking,” published by the Union of Concerned Scientists, accused the Bush administration of distorting facts specifically in regard to the environment, nuclear weapons and other health-related issues. “One example is in an EPA report on the environment, where the government simply took out a chapter on climate ate

Over 500 protesters gathered to demonstrateagainst the white supremacist rally held inRaleigh Saturday. Matt Joyner, a 22-year-old former student of North Carolina State University, came to the protest as a member of both Food Not Bombs and Klowns Against Klan Action, or KAEA. Dressed in a rainbow wig, red foam nose and brightly-colored, mismatched clothing, Joyner distributed “racial unity sandwiches” to bring attention to the problem of hunger in the Triangle area while protesting white supremacist rhetoric. “It’s white and wheat bread together,” Joyner explained. But most visible were the anarchists, a fundamentally disorganized but practically cohesive group of predominantly young and politically disillusioned activists.

They're not worth it?

They really aren’t our rivals. Cameron Crazies may have been sleeping outside for upwards of six weeks, but after Sunday’s basketball rout of the University of Maryland, it became clear that Duke’s only true rival lies down 15-501. There wasn’t even a bonfire to celebrate the win, and most of the Crazies looked decidedly sane as they meandered back to their dorms. “I don’t think we have enough adrenaline for a bonfire,” said senior Jeanne Rittschof. “The crowd looks pretty placid, like a bunch of people walking back from Thanksgiving dinner—it was good, but were all tired now and it’s time for a nap.” Between the Blue Devils’ dominating play and the exertion of being a fan, most students were minimally concerned with celebrating the Maryland win and more intent on looking toward the upcoming game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill “I’m [an] old school Duke fan that just sees Carolina as our rival and nobody else,” senior Jason Day said. “I’m not upset that there’s not a bonfire.... I’m ready for Carolina.” By Karen Hauptman PHOTOS BY ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

delighted and skeptical about the portrayal of her alma mater in the movie Mona Lisa Smile, which stars Julia Roberts as a spunky feminist teacher showing repressed Wellesley women how to achieve self-liberation. For Keohane, seeing the film brought back fond memories of her many years at the all-female college. “I loved the scenes at Wellesley,” she said. “It was so funny, because I was seeing it with my husband, and of course we lived on that campus for 12 years, and we both loved the campus, and we kept going, ‘Look! Look!’ and people next to us were going, ‘Shh!’” While generally disagreeing with the film’s somewhat harsh treatment ofWellesley, she said its portrayal of women’s issues at the college was not entirely baseless. “I thought it was clearly overstated about the way in which Wellesley in the ’sos was such a precious sort of incubator for women to marry high-powered husbands,” Keohane said. “But there was

a kernel of truth in it, not just about Wellesley but about women’s lives in the ’505.... There was a little bit of that, ‘We’re here with a world that expects most of us to be making our contributions as wives and mothers and volunteers,’ rather than saying, ‘Okay, what profession are you going to enter?’ or, you know, ‘Are you pre-med or pre-law? What are you going to do?”’ Keohane’s sanguine take differs substantially from comments made by current Wellesley President Diana Chapman Walsh, who called the film “a distorted and demeaning portrayal of our alma mater” in a statement. Other alumnae have expressed similar disappointment with the film. Keohane did point out that the film’s use of the art history department as a backward bastion of tradition was particularly unfair because the department was actually among the first in the country to seriously introduce the study of modern art. “Wellseley is justifiably proud of its record in art history, and that just seemed the unkindest cut of all,” she said.

HOWARD from page 1 Howard and the scholars’ contributions to the University, but also to stimulate broad student interest in alleviating racial tensions on campus. Keynote speaker Sarah Willie echoed this sentiment in her speech, charging the audience to “be change agents in the university, through creative, unexpected and irreverent ways.” Willie, chair of the black studies program at Swarthmore College, discussed various racial issues that exist on campuses across the nation, including the debate over affirmative action and expressions of racism in campus media. She also remarked on the influence society’s treatment of race has on university environments. ‘The university is an institution that functions within the larger society and, as such, it reflects, incorporates and replicates the values, ideas and tensions that are present off campus,” she said. “While an appreciation of multiculturalism is gaining ground, the ideology of white supremacy and patriarchy and resistance to the forfeiture of white privilege and male privilege remain with us outside the academy.” Despite the negative effects society can have on universities, Willie said through activism, universities can be positive models for society. “Especially in the university setting, our ideals must include the pursuit of truth, honest exchanges of ideas and the demonstration of mutual respect,” she said. “People have the right to the freedom of expression and they also have the right to have their persons respected. Living in a democracy presents us with the challenge of reconciling those two ideals. Those are ideals to which we can aspire and model for the non-academic world. And the non-academ-

ic world is in sore need of that ideal.” Willie also participated in a panel discussion with student and faculty representatives, fielding questions from the audience about racial identity at Duke. Several studentsvoiced concern about the concept of self-segregation on campus. Panel member Jacques Colon said the phrase “selfsegregation” is in itself a problem. ‘To say that self-segregation exists is to place the burden of integration on the shoulders of minorities alone,” said Colon, a junior. “For integration to truly occur there needs to be a common understanding and respect of one another.” One student said she felt people are “satisfied to be separated” into race-specific communities because it minimizes contact with people who do not understand or respect diverse racial heritages. Willie countered these sentiments with her perspective on what constitutes a community. “Community, for me, connotes the willingness to work with each other—even the people you don’t like,” she said. “It is a decision to be in a positive relationship with people.” Many students also expressed concern over the pressure they feel to “act black”— become the stereotypes other students perceive them to be or fulfill the roles fellow black students ascribe to them. “It’s not just external pressures we face everyday,” sophomore Tommy Apara said. We face internal pressures, t00.... We put them on ourselves as if racial pressures from outside were not enough.” After the event, Hudson said the Reginaldo Howard Scholars hoped the issues discussed at the event would become launching points for student activism. “We have the ability as students to make change,” he said. “We want students to realize they are empowered. To combat racism and other race issues, we need to come together to create change.” <c

CHARLATANS AND GENIUSES”

The language of science has provided a platform for cheating the public about miracle cures for at least two centuries. Examples are very entertaining but disturbing because of the implications about science policy. At the same time, some important innovations have been ignored or forgotten because of barriers to protection of innovative ideas.

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 free 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; that 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 thing for the United States to do.

TALKS is a small masterpiece by the noted Nigerian playwright Ola Rotimi (1938-2000) whose work continues to be performed and

produced around the world. This production will be directed by Dr. Niyi Coker, Director of the African-American Studies Department and Professor ofTheater at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

blood and a bandanna that covered most of his face, the 20-year-old former University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student initially identified himself only as “Charles in Charge” but later gave his name as Neal. “I came here to try and prevent the Nazis from being able to speak, and if given the chance, to beat the s-t out of some Nazis,” Neal said. “As it turns out, cops are like Nazis on salary, so it looks like I’m here to fight cops so I can fight Nazis, so I can go home and spend the rest of my life in relative $l9O-rent poverty.” Law enforcement officers maintained a perimeter guard on all sides of the rally in order to prevent violence against the rally participants. No police officers were willing or permitted to speak to the press. “I can understand that they need to keep a level of security, but at the same time it’s a little much,” BoaDurgammah said. One protester with a microphone was less accepting of the officers’ role. Michael, who refused to offer his last name and would only say that he came from “the planet Earth,” appealed to the police forces as a third-generation veteran of the United States Armed Forces. “You stand here and you protect these people?” he questioned the police. “If you believe in the badges that you wear and the country that you live in, why don’t you turn around and face them? They are the ones preaching hate, they are the ones who lynched black people —turn around, face them, face the hate!” Other protesters who were less vocal had followed a moral instinct to the rally. “I just got off work and heard what’s going on,” said Sarah Howell, 21, of Raleigh. “It’s important that we let them know that they’re not appreciated in Raleigh —we don’t want them here.” Some community members and passersby criticized the protesters for feeding into the KKK and Nazi play for attention. “When you have a few people and a group coming out to do a rally, you really do have to come put forward your opinion,” Boa-Durgammah said in response to this concern. “Especially if you’re going to get upset at any little thing in The Chronicle, you should definitely be here and backing up what it is you believe.”

CHAMPIONSHIPS

Eleven Blue Devil records fall by Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

Until Saturday night, no one on the women’s swimming and diving teams, save head coach Bob Thompson, had known what it felt like to finish anywhere but dead last in the ACC Championships. All that changed, however, when the Blue Devils defeated N.C. State by a 33-point margin in a meet that witnessed the demise of 11 Duke records. “We’ve come in last the past three years,” said senior co-captain Amy Halligan, who has known nothing but the ACC’s basement. “So to beat a scholarship team, that was just a really special moment for everybody.” Halligan shined in her team’s final meet of the year. She finished seventh in the 400 IM, clocking in with a time of 4:21.19, a race that qualified for the NCAA “B” standard and broke the 23year Duke record in the event. Halligan also conspired with Katie Ness, Nora Stupp and Julia Lewis to set a new school record in the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 3:28.60. In that 400 freestyle relay, Ness’s 51.45 leadoff leg broke the Duke record in the 100 free. Ness, who could already be considered one of the most prolific swimmers in Blue Devil history, broke the school record in the 100 butterfly with a time of 54.05, an NCAA “B” qualifying time and also finished sixth in the 100 back. The Ohio native now holds an ACC Championship in the 200 IM, six individual Duke records, and has participated in four record-breaking Duke relays.

Offensive burst to start the season by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

After the women’s lacrosse team got off a slow start during its home opener Sunday at Koskinen Stadium, freshman Michelle Menser led a comeback midway through the first half, lifting formerly disorganized Duke to a 15-9 victory over Northwestern (1-1). The No. 4 Blue Devils (2-0) opened their season with an offensive flurry of 32 goals in two games, including a 174 win at UMBC Friday. In the matchup with Northwestern alone, four Blue Devils recorded hat tricks. Menser was the catalyst, scoring a pair of goals when the Blue Devils trailed the Wildcats by three. Both tallies were unassisted and came fewer than four minutes apart. “We just had to go out there and play our game,” Menser said. ‘We were letting them play their game and just kind of adjusting to them.We just had to take control of the game and make [them] adjust to our style of play.” The Wildcats responded to the pair of Menser goals with two of their own, but after that the Blue Devil defense buckled down and held Northwestern scoreless for the final eight minutes of the half. During the stretch, Duke collected four goals, including a pair by senior Corinne Broesler. She completed her hat trick by scoring on a free position shot to

BEN YAFFE/THE CHRONICLE

The Duke women's swimming team raced to a seventh-place finish this weekend at the ACC Championships. Standout freshman Jackie Rodriguez also contributed greatly to her team’s success. She joined in on the record breaking by swimming the 1650 freestyle in a Duke-best 16:41.62. Rodriguez also finished sixth in the 200 breaststroke. Despite the fact that Duke posted unprecedented times throughout the meet, many Blue Devils felt a bit unfulfilled with their seventh-place finish after completing the first two days of competition in fifth position. “It was disappointing,” Duke assistant coach Lynzee Sharp said. “We thought the last day would be our strongest day,

we have great 200 strokes, but the other teams just swam better than us.” Nevertheless, no one can take away the remarkable progress the Blue Devils have made over the past year and the respect they undoubtedly earned this weekend in Charlottesville, Va. “You can’t be more proud of the girls,” Sharp said. “Everyone who made those [“B” standard] times...impressed me. Even if you’re not a fast swimmer, making a best time is still a great accomplishment. So for a team to make all these cuts, it’s amazing. As a coach it makes you feel great.”

Close call w th Terps, but Duke wi ns ACC t tie by

Maryland’s zone helps Blue Devils

Jason Strasser

THE CHRONICLE

When Maryland officials scheduled senior night against Duke, they should have realized that Alana Beard was a senior. In front of 13,446 fans, the secondlargest crowd in ACC women’s basketball history, Beard led No. 4 Duke (22-3, 13-1 in the ACC) to a victory against Maryland (15-11, 7-8). The Blue Devils also clinched the ACC regular-season title for the fourth consecutive time. The Duke offense was catalyzed by Beard, who scored 24 points and grabbed 10rebounds. Lindsey Harding also filled up the stat sheet, recording a doubledouble with 10 rebounds and 11 assists. In the post for the Blue Devils, Monique Currie and Mistie Bass scored 14 and 12 points, respectively. Throughout the contest, the Terrapins either played zone defense or a sagging man-to-man defense, which forced the Blue Devils to take shots from the perimeter., This caused Duke to shoot an unusually low 41.8 percent from the field, including 23.8 percent from three-point range. “In the last seven games, we've been shooting over 50 percent from behind the three-point line,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We've had confidence shooting three-pointers, they just weren't falling today.” When Lindsey Harding knocked down a rare Duke three pointer to start the second half, it appeared like Duke’s momentum would carry them to a comfortable win. However, Maryland had a lot of fight left in it, and at one point cut the deficit to seven points with 2:16 left in regulation. But the game was sealed when senior guard Vicki Krapohl responded with a three of her own. For the Terrapins, senior center Delvona Oliver and freshman guard Kalika France guided the way. Oliver and France scored 16 and 15 respectively, with 13 of France’s 15 points coming in the second half. Shay Doron, Maryland’s leading scorer, finished 0-11 from the field and committed a team-high three turnovers. And although her most prolific scorer had a bad night, Maryland head coach Brenda Frese was happy with her team’s effort. “We have a lot of respect for Duke and what they've accomplished and their tradition,” Frese said. “That is where we want to take our program. It should give us a ton of confidence that we can play with anyone, especially with their All-Americans. To see the heart and the will that my

ball.”

With 11:10 left to play and her team trailing by 14 points, Maryland freshman Kalika France made a decision—her team would not whimper away in its final home game of the season, and she would ignite the Terrapins’ comeback. What ensued was perhaps one of the most impressive individual performances by a freshman this year. Over the subsequent three and a half minutes, France scored her team’s next nine points, and brought her squad to within seven when she stole Alana Beard’s fastbreak pass and then nailed a jump shot from the left elbow. At that point, the Blue Devils were clearly on the ropes, and seemed to have no answer to the tangible change in momentum. Fortunately, they didn’t need one. During the subsequent official timeout, Maryland coach Brenda Frese made a decision that ultimately doomed the Terrapins; she reinserted the zone defense. To the untrained eye, a quick look at the stats suggests that the Maryland’s 23 defense was quite effective. The zone, after all, is designed to make opponents shoot the basketball, and the Blue Devils shot a paltry 5-for-21 behind the arc. The three-point shooting statistics belie the truth, however—Duke shredded the Maryland zone with a textbook passing attack. The Terrapins would never get any closer after their change in defensive strategy. Why was Duke so successful? For starters, Lindsey Harding, who finished the game with 11 assists, had no problem penetrating right into the heart of the Maryland defense. Whenever Harding entered the paint, the Terrapins collapsed upon her, allowing the sophomore point guard to kick the ball out to SEE ZONE ON THE CHRONICLEPAGE 12

adjusts Devils win big

Fans and analysts threw around many theories as to why the men’s

basketball team, after starting the season 21-1, dropped back-to-back away ACC games: Duke lost its edge after being spoiled with win after win, the Blue Devils were fatigued, that it was just impossible to win every road game in this year’s absurdly arduous ACC action, etc. There were many other hypotheses, but the true reason Duke had a two-game losing streak was its dwindling defensive intensity. Before their games against N.C. State and Wake Forest, the Blue Devils were only allowing their opponents 72.4 points per game, while also grabbing 10.4 steals per contest. But with their spread offense and the fluid ball handling skills from players at every posidon, the Wolfpack outgunned Duke 78-74, and despite all of State’s dribbledrives and cross-court passes, Chris Duhon and company nabbed only six steals. Wake Forest showed even more weaknesses in the Duke buttress by gunning for 90 points on only 14 turnovers. “When [we] won all those games in a row—we won 18 in a row —the need to play hard defensively somedmes diminishes,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “It’s not like we don’t care about playing defense. It just happens.” Against Maryland Sunday, the diminishing did not happen. The Blue Devils either stripped, picked off or outright took the ball from Maryland 12 times in the first half with players from all five positions deflecting balls in passing lanes and annoyingly poking the orange sphere from Terrapin drives on nearly ever)' possession. In addition to the 15 turnovers this stifling defense created, Maryland shot only 32.3 percent in the first half, leading to a 45:28 Blue Devil-toTerrapin scoring ratio 20 minutes into the contest. While the Duke intensity was obvious from the game’s openingtip. at first it appeared the Blue Devils could not translate Krzyzewski’s teachings on defense to the game. Sophomore guard John Gilchrist scored eight points in the game’s first 4:30, and the Terrapins took an 11-9 lead with 15:26 remaining in the first half. Gilchrist’s performance was eerily reminiscent ofWake Forest’s Chris Paul’s 23-point consummation in Duke’s loss last Wednesday. But at the 15:09 mark, Krzyzewski entered his own sophomore guard, Sean Dockery,

the sultan of steal. The Chicago native ignited the Duke defensive firestorm, as he stole the ball four times in the opening half. Also matching up one-on-one with Gilchrist, Maryland’s leading scorer only put six more points on the board for the remainder of the game. “I think when he was scoring he was hitting tough shots,” Dockery said about Gilchrist, Duhon’s defensive matchup. “Chris was putting great pressure on him. That’s just the way he is. [Gilchrist] was on fire and we just needed to put a different type of pressure on him.” Krzyzewski felt Dockery’s pressure was exacdy the type needed for Gilchrist. “I thought Dockery really turned the ball around for us,” Krzyzewski said. “When we first started the ball game they were penetrating against us. When we inserted Sean and took Chris off the ball, Sean’s defense on the ball and Chris off the ball got us back to a real high level. Then for the rest of the half, anybody who we put in stayed at that level.”

The clearest example of how communicable Dockery’s defensive disease was at the 13:29 mark came when Shelden Williams split the ball out of Maryland center Jamar Smith’s hands. The 6-foot-9, 245-pound freight train proceeded to single-handedly push the ball up the court before softly laying in two points. “We stressed a point today that we wanted to get out into the passing lanes,” Williams said. “We kind of got away from that during the middle of the season, and we tried to get back where we were. We always try to play the passing lanes, and fortunately we got some good steals.” Duke’s defense never let up in the second half, as the Terrapins trailed by at least 20 points for all but 1:27 of the game’s last 20 minutes. “They’re really good,” Maryland head coach Gary Williams said. “They get up on you [in the passing lanes] and we’re not a great passing team. They make it tough. That hasn’t bothered us in about five years, but that bothered us today.”

TERPS from The Chronicle page 1 17 in 24 minutes of play, including his team’s first nine points of the day. GuardJohn Gilchirst topped all Maryland (13-10, 4-7) players with 14 points and eight rebounds. “It's great for our team the way we played,” Redick said. “It's also great to beat Maryland." With the teams tied at 11-11 and fewer than 16 minutes to go in the first half, Maryland, catalyzed by Gilcrist, was giving Duke fits with its dribble penetration. Then Krzyzewski sent Sean Dockery to neutralize Gilchrist and the Terrapins’ ability to get to the basket. The move worked, as Gilchrist would score only six more points after pouring in eight of his team’s first 11 points, and Dockery would end the game with six steals and countless more disruptions of Maryland’s perimetermotion offense. "I thought Dockery really turned the ball around for us,” Krzyzewski. ‘"When we first started the ball game, they were penetrating against us.

outscored the Terps 17-3 when they caught the visitors in a six-minute dry spell—which transformed an early, close contest to an extended game of doomed catchup. Led by a renewed effort on defense, Duke took the lead and never looked back, jumping to a 17-point halftime advantage. "The mindset was to get our edge back on defense, instead of just outscoring teams, to come in here and just stop a team,” Deng said. “The plan tonight was to stop Maryland instead of outscoring them, and that's what we did. Every time we got a stop, we were excited to be on offense, especially when Maryland took about 33 or 34 seconds to shoot the ball and you get a stop, that's just a great feeling to run down on offense." The Cameron Crazies, who have come under some criticism this season for leaving the stands unfilled for some ACC contests, were praised by Krzyzewski for the atmosphere they created in Cameron after tenting outside the gymnasium for as long as seven weeks in some cases before Sunday. ‘The fans were great,” Krzyzewski said. “We didn't have to shut off the lights or bring artificial crap in here. It was just human beings being genuinely supportive of their team. What a refreshing sight. They were cheering for their team and I'm really proud of them. Those kids are great."

The elevated noise level might have had an effect on Maryland, which made playing catchup even harder on itself by making big numbers when it wanted small ones and vice versa, giving the ball away 23 times and making

52 percent ofits free-throws. In addition to its troubles with taking care of the ball on the court, the Terps had problems when they wanted to put the ball into the hoop as well, managing to connect on only 37 percent of their shots from the field. “They do what they do,” said Maryland head coach Gary Williams. “When they get on a roll, they roll probably as well as anyone in the country. We tried to stop them with timeouts in the first half, but the thing you find out over the years is that you have to score. You have to match their offense with your offense; and we couldn't do that today." Nevertheless, Blue Devil fans can sleep easy tonight. “We all said it to ourselves to stop worrying about the offense and play defense, and our offense would come,” Deng said. “To come out here tonight and just play defense and win again because of our defense, it's just a great feeling and just makes us believe in ourselves again.. This was a very important game. Nobody wants to lose two in a row, and definitely nobody wants to lose three in a row.”

Northwestern sophomore Cristelle Grier had never lost a dual-meet singles match in her college career. That two-year streak ended Saturday when Blue Devil Amanda Johnson defeated the nation’s No. 4 player in straight sets to lead Duke to a 4-2 victory. “Amanda’s win was huge,” head coach Jamie. Ashworth said. “That’s her [Grier’s] first loss in two years and Amanda hasn’t been hitting the ball great. She always competes well, but she hasn’t been hitting the ball great, so for her to get that win is huge for her confidence.” The rest of the No. 10 Blue Devil team was able to feed off Johnson’s victory as they improved their record to 6-1 on the season. Seventh-ranked Wildcats dropped to 7-2. In doubles, Duke won just one of its three matches. Johnson and sophomore Julia Smith lost their match 8-5 to the nation’s topranked duo of Grier and Jessica Rush at the first position, and Tory Zawacki and Jennifer Zika were beaten by a score of 8-3 at No. 2.

match after recording victories of 6-3, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-3, respectively. “Our goal when we lose the doubles point is to get a singles match quickly to neutralize it,” Ashworth said. “We got two really quick.” Johnson then gave Duke its first lead of the day when she defeated Grier 7-5, 7-5 in the afternoon’s marquee match up. After jumping out to early leads in both sets, Johnson had trouble holding serve because of the windy conditions. But, just as she did in the first set, she followed a service game loss with a break ofher own fueled by superb returns. “She [Johnson] gave up that lead and as soon as it got back to even anything can happen,” Ashworth said. “That girl had momentum and she [Johnson] came right back and broke that girl’s serve again. She returned really well.” Zawacki defeated her opponent in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, as she used her hard ground strokes to overpower Northwestern’s Jamie Peisel. Then after the team had already clinched the victory, No. 64 Jennifer Zita fought back from a set down to upset 36th-ranked 5-7, 6-2, 1-0 (8). The win, the Blue Devils’ 21st consecutive victory at home, helped the entire team build confidence. “It’s a great win,” said Johnson. “We started [the season] off kind of shaky, we lost to Vanderbilt Since then every match we’ve gotten better. This just proves we are good enough to be in the top-five again.”

Blue Devils lose pair by

Brandon Wise

THE CHRONICLE

The sixth-ranked Blue Devils left for their weekend road trip with high hopes. Unfortunately, Duke returned with two more losses at the hands of 54th-ranked Tennessee and seventh-ranked Florida. After a very promising season debut, the Blue Devils have now lost their last three matches, dropping them to 5-4 overall. Friday, the Volunteers upset Duke in Knoxville, Tn., by a final score of 4-3. Tennessee began the match with two doubles victories, including one over the second-ranked tandem ofLudovic Walter and Jason Zimmerman. The Vols gained early momentum after being the first team to steal the doubles point from the Blue Devils this year—things were not going Duke’s way at the start of the match. A singles win of the count 6-2, 6-3 from Duke freshman Peter Rodrigues tied the match at 1-1, but the Volunteers quickly bounced back with two singles victories of their own to propel them ahead 3-1. After Duke’s Jonathan Stokke defeated his opponent in three heated sets, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, a victory was still in grasp for the Blue Devils who trailed only by a deficit of 3-2. With a late win from Duke All-American Phillip King, who overcame a 1-6 first set to win his match, the final outcome came down to Walter’s singles contest. However, he came up short in the third set of a well-fought 6-3, 3-6, 3-6 battle, clinching the win for Tennessee. The week got no better Sunday as the Blue Devils visited Gainesville, Fla., trying to redeem their atypical performance against the Vols. The resiliency of Duke’s doubles teams shone through as they swept the Florida Gators in all three matches. Peter Rodrigues became the only Blue Devils player to win both of his singles matches this week SEE LOSSES ON PAGE 13

Phillip King and the Blue Devils lost a pair ofclose matches this weekend.

Going into the second day of the ACC Indoor Championship meet in Clemson, South Carolina, the women’s track and field team found itself at the bottom of the list. With hopes of climbing out of the ACC cellar, Shannon Rowbury and Laura Chen finished up Saturday with All-ACC performances in the mile run and pole vault, respectively. While the women’s team placed eighth overall, only coming in ahead of Virginia, the performances of the individuals were positive developments for Duke. “We had a very successful weekend,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “The ACC is one of the most difficult and competitive conferences in the nation, and we had a lot of outstanding performances.” Among those performances was Paige Miller’s time in the 5000-meter run. Placing third in the event and garnering AllACC honors, Miller automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships with a time of 16:15.39, breaking another school record this season. Last weekend at the Armory Collegiate Invitational, Miller broke the meet and school record in the 3000-meter run with a time of 9:18.30. SEE INDOOR TRACK ON 11

After a day at the Puerto Rico Classic, the men’s golf team stands in a tie for 13th place. Headed by senior Mike Castleforte’s one-over-par 73, Duke’s overall tally of 300 trails tournament leader Clemson by 19 strokes. Castleforte’s score puts him in a tie for 29th individually, while junior Tom Lefebvre stands in 36th with an opening round of 74. Freshmen Eric Ahn’s round of 76 has him in 56th place, and sophomore Nathan Smith is in 66th with a 77, senior Bobby Castor notched an 82 for 84th placed The Blue Devils will resume play today, as they trail just three schools from the ACC; Clemson, Virginia (292) and North Carolina State (293). WOMEN’S GOLF I PUERTO RICO CLASSIC

The No. 1 Blue Devils began the spring season much the way they began their year in the fall, by winning. Duke, which went undefeated in tournament play in the autumn, jumped out to a seven-stroke lead at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic Sunday. Led by 2001 NCAA individual champion Virada Nirapathpongporn’s score of 66, Duke posted a 285 to lead Georgia, Oklahoma, USC, Tulane, Tulsa, Auburn and eight other schools. “Virada’s swing is as good as it has ever been right now,” Duke head coach Dan Brooks said of the Blue Devil athlete who won the 2003 U.S. Amateur Championship and the 2002 NCAA Individual Championship. Sophomore Liz Janangelo carded a 72 to put her in fifth place overall; junior Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh also notched a 72, while super freshmen Brittany Lang and Anna Grzebien fired 75 and 78, respectively. Senior Leigh Ann Hardin, playing as an individual, is in 14th place after shooting a 74. “I am really proud of this team,” Brooks said. “They are coming off a pretty bad winter which has kept them off the course a lot and have had a lot of expectations put on them with all the publicity they have received lately. They have handled it well and fought off some nerves today to post a very good round.” MEN’S LACROSSE I BUTLER Sc HAMPTON SYDNEY SCRIMMAGES This weekend, the men’s lacrosse team competed in its last scrimmage before beginning the season. Playing a full game against Butler and a half against HamptonSydney college, Duke outscored their opponents and seemed to outmaneuver them throughout much of the games. Though an official score and statistics were not taken, Duke was dominant against the both teams. Defensively, the Blue Devils did not allow many shots on goal, keeping good pressure on its opponents. Offensively, the team was organized and executed its plays effectively, attacking the goal from all

angles of the field. The team will play its first game February 28 against UMBC homestand to start the season.

Reardon ran a 4:12.59, a seasonal best for the senior. In the 3000-meter run, Schneider placed fifth with a time of 8:24.78, placing behind two of the most dominant distance runners in the conference and a pair offresh runners. Schneider, on the other hand, had competed in four races in the last eight days. The distance medley team, which include Schneider, Reardon, Tommy Colven and Steve Craig, placed third with a time of 9:59.37 and received All-ACC honors. Also performing well was John Amt, whose time of 1:53.08 in the preliminary 800-meter run was the fastest time a Duke runner has had on a flat track: he subsequently finished fifth place. In the pole vault, Duke’s Brent Warner, who was recovering from the flu, managed to tie for first place with Florida State’s Patrick Gerberich, clearing 16-4.75. “I would classify this weekend as a success,” Ogilvie said. “We broke several school records and had some competitive performances in the ACC. The only thing we don’t have is the depth, but we’re expecting that will be changing soon. We have been concentrating on our own performances and we’ve been doing well.” .

Other strong showings included Shannon Rowbury’s mile run, in which she placed third. The race was extremely competitive as North Carolina’s Erin Donahue, Florida State’s Natalie Hughes and Rowbury ran neckand-neck through the finish line. Donahue had made the first move and Rowbury was in position to move on the outside at the last turn, but Donahue had cut in front of her to prevent Rowbury from advancing. As Donahue ran to the outside, Hughes found an opening inside. With three runners sprinting to the finish, Hughes’s inside advantage won her the race with a time of 4:48.46. Both Donahue and Rowbury finished a fraction of a second behind the winner. In the field events, freshman Debra Vento cleared 5-8.5 in the high jump and also received conference recognition. Chen’s 12-5.5 pole vault performance was a personal best. On the men’s side, Nick Schneider and Casey Reardon ran strong races, considering each competed in multiple races each day.

LAX from Sportswrap page 2 just 26 ticks into the second half, giving her back-to-back three-goal performances on the weekend. But Northwestern looked like it might hang with the Blue Devils in the second half. Jenny Bush stepped up for the Wildcats, scoring a pair of goals. From there, the Blue Devil defense stifled any attack that the Wildcats could muster. Five consecutive Duke goals secured the win for head coach Kerstin Kimel’s team. ‘That is when we finally started to take off using our motion, using our grittiness and our hard work on the ground balls,” Katie Chrest said. ‘That is when we started feel ourselves pulling away.” The Wildcat defense appeared tired and unable to deal with the diverse Blue Devil attack. “We were able to really work the Northwestern defense and think the end result, our finishes, were great,” Kimel said. Duke also benefited from collecting the majority of the loose balls throughout the game. The Blue Devils were able to scoop up 25-of-34 ground balls and secured almost twice as many draws as their opponent. “It just came down to getting the 5050 balls,” Chrest said. ‘The draws were a huge teller of who was going to come

top.” Despite being face guarded for much of the game, Chrest, Duke’s most prolific

out on

offensive weapon, recorded her second consecutive three-goal performance to begin her sophomore season. “It is the first time I have had that [face guarding] on me since I have been at Duke,” Chrest said. “It really opened

her wide open teammates, who consistendy knocked down shots from the floor. Second, the zone defense gready handicapped the Terrapins’ ability to keep the Blue Devils off the offensive boards. Duke dominated the glass, grabbing a total of 18 offensive rebounds, and outscoring Maryland 18-10 in the paint. In the zone, the three Terrapins on the baseline were simply incapable of locating and boxing out their assigned Blue Devils. Although Maryland was able to contain Duke’s three-point shooters, it sacrificed its rebounding to achieve that end, and wound up yielding second-chance baskets that eventually cost it the game. Yesterday afternoon the message was clear to the teams looking to upset the ACC’s fourth straight regular-season champion; Duke will not be fooled by the zone. Duke 72, Maryland 59 Duke (23-3, 14-1)

REPORT from page 3 change since that chapter is not in accordance with what the administration wants to hear,” said Pimm. Schlesinger noted that distorting or ignoring the facts is a recurring theme for this administration, especially in regard to the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that called for individual countries to cut their carbon dioxide levels by a certain percentage by the year 2010. “During [his] second year in office, [President George W.] Bush said that we aren’t going to deal with Kyoto —it is dead as far as we are concerned,” said Schlesinger. “For me, Kyoto had some flaws, but in my opinion, if you aren’t going to bring the ball to the court, you can’t just take the ball home, especially if you are the United States, which people expect to be a leader on these issues.” John Marburger, science advisor to Bush, responded quickly to the Union’s allegations. “I don’t think [the union] makes the case for the sweeping accusations that it makes [in the recent report],” Marburger told the New York Times.

Schlesinger said he was disappointed in Marburger’s reaction. “I watched [Marburger’s] response to the climate change issues and how he has essentially ignored the overwhelming consensus of the U.S.’ scientists,” Schlesinger said. “For him to call this act a conspiracy theory in the face of his past behavior is rather strange.” However, even with the recent government criticism, all of the scientists that signed the document seemed to know the inherent social and political risks. Pimm felt that the potential advantages outweighed the incoming political pressure. “We elect politicians so that they will make wise policy decisions. They cannot make them when the advice they receive is poor,” Pimm said. “Along with the others who signed this document, I believe it will encourage this present administration to obtain the best possible scientific advice on issues that affect our lives, our health and our environment.” Schlesinger said he was not concerned about how signing the report would affect his reputation within the scientific and political communities.

uprising began Feb. 5. He was even more upbeat than his commander, Philippe, predicting the rebels would take the capital, Port-au-Prince, Monday. As machine-gun fire sounded in the streets of Cap-Haitien, a city ofabout 500,000, residents greeted the arriving rebels with chants of “Down with Aristide!” and “Long live the army!” The rebels drove straight into the grassy square next to the city’s police headquarters, the chief symbol of central government power at about 10 a.m., and declared the city liberated. Residents of the city, on edge for weeks as rumors swirled that the rebel forces that control Gonaives would march here and take control, poured into the streets and set fire to the police headquarters’ two buildings. “Aristide is a dictator,” said Jean Robert, a 42-year-old unemployed boat captain, as the police station crackled and glowed orange behind him. “He was in hell, and the Devil put him out because he was so wicked.” The capture of Cap-Haitien was the biggest blow yet to Aristide as he contendedwith a nearly three-week-long uprising that has left more than 60 people dead. Political strife has gripped Haiti since 2000, when flawed legislative elections led opposition groups to boycott the presidential election later that year. The political turmoil increased as a range of Aristide opponents, from peaceful dissidents to those with more militant aims, held rallies and marches-this fall, demanding that Aristide step down. The protests boiled over into violence when a gang once loyal to Aristide in Gonaives revolted. Bolstered by notorious figures from the country’s violent past, the rebels claim to have steadily gained strength, although their exact numbers remain unclear. Jean-Baptiste Joseph, a rebel soldier who said he had been in the army before Aristide dissolved it in 1994, said the rebels would maintain order in Cap-Haitien and not allow vengeance killings.

“I don’t have a lot of dogs to fight any more in the scientific community,” he said. “I feel strongly about this and at this stage of life... so I signed it. As for the political community, I’m not terribly concerned. Everybody knows that I am a hard-core environmentalist, and the Bush administration is the worst administration environmentally for a long time and so whatever they do I would be opposed to.” With over 20 Nobel laureates, many more scientists with other impressive awards and several science advisors from both the Democratic and Republican party, the document attracted a diverse crowd of experts. “I think the number of people that are on the document with some note make it so that it is going to be hard to ignore,” said Schlesinger. “I hope that it causes the administration to take note of this problem and that it becomes an item of interest to the upcoming election and that it sparks some debate.”

SANTILLAN from page 1 take,” he said, “was made by Dr. Jaggers.” Carolina Donor Services, the intermediary organization that procured the organs for DUH, also implied in a press release that Jaggers was to blame for the bloodtype confusion. “Prior to Jesica Santillan, Duke surgeons have never offered a specific patient’s name that was blood-type incompatible,” the CDS statement said. “Duke surgeons have confirmed it is their responsibility to know the blood type of patients within their care.” Colleagues described Jaggers as one of the best transplant surgeons in the country and hoped his ability to work had not been set back. Jaggers, however, has maintained a positive outlook and views the Santillan case as a learning experience for

both himself and the institution “This is not the only error I have ever made, nor will it be my last,” Jaggers said. “We can hope for a better system, but nothing is fool-proof.” Langheier said Jaggers has been very honorable about accepting the blame for the mistake, but checking patients’ blood type was not entirely his responsibility. ‘The surgeon is supposed to trust his team and the organ donor profiling. It’s not his role to double-check for a blood type,” he said. Victor Vidal, author of 101 Ways to Prevent Medical Errors and chair of the National Campaign to Prevent Medical Errors, said in cases of medical errors, the blame lies on health care institutions rather than individual doctors, noting it was DUH’s fault for administering improper care. “You cannot hold this one person accountable for the cascade of systemic failures that occurred in the Santil-

THE CHRONICLE

Lan case,” Vidal said Mahoney also said Jaggers made a mistake, but he is more concerned with how DUH handled the situation. “I never trashed Duke in the media until after the second surgery,” Mahoney said. ‘There are things that I can’t say about the second surgery because of legal reasons.... There’s a lot about those second organs that are not known and I can’t tell. But in my opinion, Duke as a corporation made a lot of bad choices and they didn’t have to do that. All I wanted was their help. “I don’t have anything against Dr. Jaggers,” Mahoney added. ‘Jaggers’ skills were never called into question. Dr. Jaggers made a mistake—people do that.” Angela Holder, professor of practice at the Center for Ethics and Humanities, said although doctors make mistakes, patient safety is not primarily the responsibility of the doctor, but of the institution.

“He did not mess up all by himself,” Holder said, referring to Jaggers. “And I think that one of the worst things that happened was what was said about him.... Was it the doctor’s fault? No way!” Sloan said one positive aspect of the media attention surrounding the Santillan case was that the publicity caused the medical community to redouble its efforts on improving patient safety. Additional safeguards have since been added by the United Network for Organ Sharing and by local organ procurement agencies. ‘The entire medical community has a much greater focus on patient safety. Hopefully, this is not at the expense of being afraid of doing what is best for the patient, even if there is a risk,” Davis said. “Duke Hospital remains a premier institution for health care delivery and research. It is a safer place because of the events that transpired around the Santillan transplant.”

vative students of their hypocrisies.” Last Tuesday, Munger went on to say this; “Though the person I heard it from directly is no longer chair of a department at Duke, I am sure that this view is widespread, at least in some departments. I am often at dinners and other gatherings where such views are explicitly advanced. More than a few of our faculty, in some departments, think that their primary role as instructors is to proselytize for a very narrow, and politically extreme, point of view on the left. They just take it for granted; conservative students are mistaken and need to be corrected.” Some have called for a specific example of bias in the classroom. Here’s one: Midway through last semester, I had a poor grade in an International Relations course and noticed that the liberal arguments I made in my writing were usually starred and the conservative ones marked off. After my instructor said in class that it was incorrect to say that the United States was any more “capitalist” than Scandinavian countries, I decided to employ a new gameplan and began writing little more than unsupported and hateful shots at President Bush in my assignments. In one paper, I summarized the President’s entire domestic agenda as “tax cuts for the rich” and accused him of having “shifted U.S. efforts away from the War on Terror” and taken over “Iraq’s industries and assigned control •

of its oil supply to Haliburton, the Republican-supporting corporation that Dick Cheney was a CEO of.” On my final exam, I said that the biggest threat to our national security was Ann Coulter. My grades changed significantly. I’ll let everyone guess whether they went up or down. In response to the DCU ad, Keohane asserted her commitment to ensuring that Duke faculty members “provide an environment that is conducive to robust discussion, where students feel they can express strongly held views and disagree with their professors or their classmates within the bounds of civility.” DCU has never asked for quotas, and agrees with Keohane that classroom atmosphere is what matters. But can Keohane honestly say that departments that show a 17:1 ratio of Democrats to Republicans and are led by professors who call Republicans “stupid,” hypocritical, “mistaken” and lacking in “depth, subtlety, and intelligence” provide the most open and diverse climate possible? Keohane might want to examine this issue with more than a discussion group, because as a Class of ’B4 University donor wrote with a contribution to DCU, “I may not be smart enough to be hired by Duke, but I am smart enough to give my money to those whom I think will use it the most wisely.” •
