THE CHRONICLE

The improbaATLANTA ble, the unexpected and the unfathomable all became almost improbable, almost unexpected and almost unfathomable Sunday in Atlanta—all thanks to an 18-year-old from Sudan. The men’s basketball team (31-5) reached its 10th Final Four under head coach Mike Krzyzewski, defeating No. 7 seed Xavier (26-11) while led by Atlanta Regional Most Outstanding Player Luol Deng. The 6foot-8 freshman finished with 19 points and seven rebounds while evading his fifth foul for the last 4:07 of the game, but his most important contributions came between the 5:11 and 1:52 marks of the second half. After a 30 second Duke timeout with the Musketeers leading 56-53, the Blue Devils set up for an out-of-bounds play with 5:13 remaining in the ball game. Confused as to whether the team was playing in zone defense or manto-man, Xavier allowed Deng to get himself wide open. Deng then nailed a three from the corner to tie the game at 56. “We were supposed to be man-to-man and a couple of guys SEE XAVIER ON SPORTS PAGE 9

As the rooster crowed Friday morning, juniors across campus awoke to register online for their senior fall courses. While the 7 a.m. wake-up call was accepted as a necessary evil for those seeking to get a headstart on their peers, these brave souls soon realized that their efforts were, in fact, for naught. Registration hub ACES was down, juniors became annoyed and course registration would have to wait at least another day. The ACES debacle capped off a hellish week for the Office of Information Technology, as unrelated system problems caused major e-mail outages across the University, on and off, from Tuesday to Friday. Both issues have

OIT Director of Customer Support and spokesperson Ginny Cake said the ACES problem came about because the amount of memory used by “pooled database connections” exceeded the total amount of available system memory, causing a server overload. Although Cake did not say whether the problem was avoidable, she said the issue will be rectified for future registration sessions after OIT takes steps to reduce the amount of memory taken up by the pooled database connections.

Women advance to Elite 8 by

Jesse Shuger-Colvin THE CHRONICLE

Duke and Louisiana Tech NORFOLK, Va. took their place alongside World War One and the 2000 presidential election yesterday—in the annals of powerful conflicts that were supposed to be speedy and efficient but instead became sloppy wars of attrition. The Blue Devils’ and the Lady Techsters’ Mideast regional semifinal, which Duke won 63-49 before 7,703 fans in the Ted Constant Convocation Center in was a contest between two teams ranked in the top 10 nationally and which averaged more than 165 points per game combined. But the game turned into a sloppy, low-scoring affair marked more by frustration than the skill that got each squad to this point. An ugly victory or not, it’s all academic at this point for the Blue Devils because they advance to Tuesday’s regional final and are now one victory away from the Final Four and one step closer to the school’s first national championship. “I’m sure it wasn’t pretty to watch,” Duke head Threetime All American Alana Beard celebrates her team's advancement into theElite Eight.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. II that Richard Brodhead, the soon-to-be president of Duke, is not just a Yalie or a son of Eli. He’s a Branfordian. Even though “Branfordian” sounds like a foreign nationality, calling Brodhead a “Brandfordian” is merely a means of identifying him with the residential college at Yale he has been affiliated with since his undergraduate days. The newly-developed quadrangle system at Duke bears a faint resemblance to the college system at Yale University, and as administrators nurture residential life at Duke over the next few years, Brodhead’s long experience with Yale’s colleges will undoubtedly influence his contributions to Duke’s quads. Ask any Yalie the first question any fellow Eli asks when they initially meet and the answer is the same: What college are you in? The identity is so turns out

PARIS France’s political left swept regional elections Sunday in a surprisingly strong rebuke to President Jacques Chirac’s conservative government, delivering the French equivalent of a Bronx cheer to his social welfare policies. The searing message that the nation is dissatisfied with the two-year-old government, which has fought to strip expensive entitlements from workers, is likely to be answered with a Cabinet shuffle and a slower pace ofeconomic changes. While many French voters support Chirac’s foreign policies—particularly his opposition to the United States over the invasion of Iraq—the unpopularity of Chirac’s domestic

economic program has become a dominant issue here and was the major theme in .the elections, which were effectively a midterm referendum on his administration. Teachers, hospital workers, scientists and firemen have taken to the streets in recent months to protest changes meant to make the French work harder and get less in retirement. A Cabinet shakeup could replace unpopular politicians such as Education Minister Luc Ferry and Finance Minister Francis Mer and might even threaten the tenure of Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin. “It’s an outstanding blow,” said Roland Cayrol, a political

Beaufort faces mounting deficits enrollment declining although safe,

Marine lab by

Andrew Collins THE CHRONICLE

Dwindling undergraduate enrollments have put further financial stress on the perennially money-losing Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, N.C., causing concern among administrators. The marine lab’s annual deficit of $500,000 to $1 million is the single greatest burden on the budget of the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, which runs the lab. “It’s been in the red the entire time I’ve been dean and it seems to be getting worse, and so I have to cover that deficit,” said Dean of the Nicholas School William Schlesinger, who added that there are reasons to believe the deficits will increase in coming years. The biggest cause for the exacerbation of the lab’s financial struggles has been a huge drop in undergraduate enrollment, especially for academic-year programs. During its heyday in the early 19905, the lab would draw about 60 students per semester during the academic year and as many as 100 for the summer. This year, 32 students enrolled in a spring Beaufort-to-Bermuda program and only 14 enrolled in the regular fall program. Undergraduate fees are not the only source ofincome for the marine lab, but they comprise a substantial chunk of the lab’s revenue and administrators admitted that the enrollment woes are problematic. “They have some exciting things going on,” said Provost Peter Lange, “but that undergraduate enrollment really helped them.” Schlesinger identified several causes for the decline, most notably the proliferation of study abroad programs throughout the world, including in marine environments such as Costa Rica and the Caribbean. He also said he personally believed that the success of Duke basketball and social life in general contributed to students’ lack of interest in the lab, although the drop has been steeper in the fall than in the spring. Changes in the Duke academic scene could also be affecting marine lab enrollment. Michael Orbach, director of the marine lab, pointed to the 1996 decision by the biology department to require two semesters ofcell biology for majors as having a major impact on the lab. “Our enrollment for biology literally fell by half [one] year after they changed that requirement,” he said. The number of biology majors at the University has also steeply declined in recent years, from 270 in 1998

to just 120 this year. Although the marine lab’s official focus is “marine conservation,” meaning policy issues are also taught in some detail, biology is still at the heart of the Beaufort experience and Orbach acknowledged the decline in majors could have an effect on lab enrollments. Administrators said there is no talk of selling the lab or of even significantly downsizing the undergraduate program. Schlesinger said he would consider doing things differently in certain areas if enrollment did not pick up, but that he was committed to providing a full range of classes no matter how sparsely attended they were. ‘You’ve got to fly your full schedule even if your planes are half full,” he said. Orbach said he had heard much more talk about possibly selling the lab in the 1980s, but he feels it is now a secure part of the University because of its many contributions beyond undergraduate education. Research and rapidly growing master’s and doctorate programs are among the other activities that make Beaufort a positive force for Duke, he said. Indeed, the administration’s actions suggest a sustained commitment. Recent and planned additions to the Beaufort campus include a new oceanography building, a new building for student services and a remodeling of student dormitories. A 1998 agreement for the University’s facilities management department to manage the lab’s facilities was expanded in 2002 for all auxiliary services. And, while a pledged $6O million gift to the Nicholas School by Board of Trustees Chair Peter Nicholas and his wife Virginia will not be of much immediate help to the lab, Schlesinger said the money could indirectly provide relief by freeing up a greater allocation offunds from the school’s central budget to help the lab make ends meet. In the meantime, Orbach and his staff will continue to recruit students with the ultimate goal of returning to an enrollment of about 50 students for the fall and spring programs. Despite a difficult task ahead, enrollment for the fall is currently up to about 24 students and Orbach said he is not worried. “The marine lab does so many things in so many ways for the University that I’m not concerned about the future of the lab,” he said. “We certainly hope at some point we would be in the black here, and are looking for ways to do that..., but the University has been very good about giving us slack and time to do that.”

THE CHRONICLE

Undergraduates will vote on three referenda on the Duke Student Government executive elections ballot Tuesday, bringing to a close legislative reform discussions that began months ago. The first two referenda deal with reforms to the Senate, changing the name of the Facilities and Athletics Committee to the Athletics and Campus Services Committee and removing the definition of residential location from DSC senatorial representation. The third proposes a change in the number of votes needed to pass a constitutional amendment from 51 percent of voters with at least 25 percent of undergraduates voting to a simple majority of whatever number of voters turn out. “In order to change a spelling mistake, we need a large number of people [to vote], and we will still need a large number of people but this will make [the constitution] more of a living document, and make it easier to amend it to fit the needs of the students,” said DSC President Matt Slovik. For these three amendments, however, the old rules still apply—meaning that a quarter of the undergraduate student body must vote on each referendum, and a simple majority of those voting must approve each one in order for it to pass, said Dave Kahne, DSC attorney general. Although voter turnout in last year’s executive elections hit a record high at over 57 percent of the undergraduate student body, Kahne said he could not make any predictions about this year’s turnout. “We always hope for a high voter turnout,” he said. “The change [to a simple majority of voters] is just to allow the constitution to be amended more easily. A lot of times we don’t have that many students voting.” In its meetings up until this point, the Senate has focused its discussions about the issue of legislative apportionment on changing the voting structure from residence-based to class-based. Tomorrow’s referendum, however, will simply remove the distinction ofresidential assignments and allow DSG to create a new legislative structure in its bylaws. %

Financial troubles stall collections greenhouse by

Erica Smolow

THE CHRONICLE

The future of Duke’s Biology Greenhouse, currently home to both research and collections facilities, has been a topic of debate since plans were unveiled for the new $ll5 million French Science Center, which will be built at the Greenhouse’s current location between the Physics and Biological Sciences buildings. The University has already begun construction on a new greenhouse research facility, located in the back parking lot of BioSci, that is scheduled to be complete by this summer. However, plans for a separate collections greenhouse, also known as the teaching greenhouse, have been put on hold due to funding issues. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said the administration is working to create an affordable plan of action to replace the initial proposal for the collections facility. “We’re going to have a collections space,” Trask said. “I don’t think it’s going to be as fancy as initially proposed, but it’s a tradeoff [between research and

display].” Trask explained that the money saved on

cutdng some costs associated with an extensive collections greenhouse could instead go to building five to 10 more laboratories in the French Science Center. He emphasized that since the plans for the French Science Center were only recently approved, there are still many explorable options regarding the greenhouse facilities.

A Royal Affair

Dean of Natural Sciences Berndt Mueller noted that although plans for a collections facility are currently stalled, the displacement of the Greenhouse by the French Science Center comes with significant benefits. The current greenhouse structures are outdated, he said, noting that funding from the French Science Center project has allowed the University to replace the old research greenhouse with a state-of-the-art facility. With plans to build an expanded research greenhouse, officials anticipate having enough room in this facility to house the most-used specimens from the collections greenhouse. Mueller acknowledged, however, that a separate collections greenhouse will still be necessary in the long term. “The school is still committed to finding additional funds to build a separate collections greenhouse in a timely manner,” Mueller said. Marcia Kirinus, manager of the Biology Greenhouse, said the collections greenhouse is an important core facility for the biology department and for the University as a whole. “Over 700 students have visited the teaching greenhouse this semester alone, and these facilities serve many researchers as well,” Kirinus said. Kathleen Pryer, assistant professor of biology, is one of the many teachers who make use of the collections greenhouse SEE GREENHOUSE ON PAGE 10

Pair of All-Americans for Duke fencing THE CHRONICLE

day’s final bouts. However, Beguinet said, these finishes

Without the luster of a perennial powerhouse such as Notre Dame, the winner of six national team titles, or the luxury of a recruiting program complete with athletic scholarships, the Duke fencing squad, particularly the women’s squad, showed that it is a rising power over the weekend at the NCAA Championships held at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. The two female fencers who partook in the competition—Anne Kercsmar and Ibtihaj Muhammad—who went to the competition earned All-America status after placing in the top-10 in the nation. The pair of freshmen combined for 28 victories, leading the Blue Devils to a 12th place finish. ‘This says a lot [about our program],” head coach Alex Beguinet said. “This was the first time we sent two women, and both finished All-Americans. It will help us to bring stronger fencers to Duke.” After the first rounds, which took place Thursday, Kercsmar was in third place in the epee and never looked back. In the medal bouts, Kercsmar first faced No. 1 Anna Garina of Wayne State. The score oscillated between the two until Kercsmar stopped to attack, and Garina stopped her twice to take the 15-12victory. “Anne was mostly on the offensive, and we had taught her mostly the defensive,” Beguinet said. “She did very well though.” In the bronze medal bout, Kercsmar was again the underdog, but she was able to defeat Meghan Phair of Cornell 15-7.

were slightly disappointing “I was expecting a lot more from them,” Beguinet said. “Both did very well in the season. Nathan was fine, but the second day he didn’t compete very well, and got down on himself. It was like a chain reaction.” Hendricks, who had been seeded No. 1 atregionals, totaled 10wins oh the weekend. “Benjamin lost some bouts because people beat him, but he lost three or four because he didn’t fence well,” Beguinet said. “He did a very good job overall, [though I] thought they would both be in the top 10.” In team results, Ohio State won the championship ending Notre Dame’s twoyear winning streak. The title was the first ever for the Buckeyes who recorded 97 wins in both men’s and women’s competition. Penn State placed second overall after sliding past Notre Dame on the final day of competition. The Nittany Lions, showing incredible consistency, have finished in the top two every year since 1990. Despite not being in contention for a high team finish, Beguinet was pleased with the Blue Devils’ showing in the meet. “[Sending] four people to nationals was a good thing for Duke,” Beguinet said. With the conclusion of the season, the Blue Devils are on a hiatus until team practice begins again in the fall. “Every competition we can learn something is a great deal,” Beguinet said. “Everybody learned something [and] we ended the season on a very good note.”

Without top two players, golf still places third by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

For the first time since the 2003-04 season began, the No. 1 women’s golf team failed to finish in first place at a tournament, coming in third at the Liz Murphy Collegiate. However, the Blue Devils had only four players competing, as the team was without senior Virada Nirapathpongpom and sophomore Liz Janangelo, who spent the weekend competing in the LPGA’s Kraft Nabisco Championship, the first of the four major championships on the tour. Despite losing the team competition to Georgia by 12 strokes, Brittany Lang was able to capture the individual tide by shooting a nine-under-par 207, her career best. It was also Lang’s second consecutive victory having won the SunTrust Lady Gator Invitational earlier this month. “I putted very well this week,” Lang said WOMEN’S TENNIS

“I hit a lot of greens and made a lot of putts. I felt very confident coming off that win in Florida.” Lang’s 68 Sunday, Duke’s best of the day, was only topped throughout the tournament by her six-under-par 66 Friday. She beat Georgia’s Allison Martin by three strokes for the tide. Freshman Anna Grzebien shot a final round 70 and finished seventh overall. Also competing for the Blue Devils, Leigh Anne Hardin fought her way to a tie for 20th with a three-day total of 223. Duke’s fourth golfer, Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh had her best round Saturday as she shot a 70, but struggled Sunday on her way to an 83. Overall the team was pleased with its performance given the difficult circumstances. Due to Nirapathpongpom and Janangelo’s participation in the professional event, Duke competed with Just four golfers instead of

the normal five allowed to participate. The top four scores are included in the team’s total., meaning one can usually be dropped. “I was real proud of the effort the team made,” Blue Devil head coach Dan Brooks said. “It’s tough to go down with four. I thought that they stepped up, and I didn’t hear anything but a real aggressive, positive attitude.” Because of the close competition the weekend served as a learning experience for both the team at Liz Murphy Championship and the golfers competing on the pro tour. “We’ve found it difficult to get into tournaments where it is real close,” Brooks said. “[Nirapathpongpom] and Liz got to go out and be in a very intense situation, and we got to be in an intense situation here.” At the LPGA event, Janangelo finished 40th, third among amateurs, while Nirapathpongpom failed to make the cut.

Janangelo shot a 294 over the four days, including a two-under 70 Sunday. In her final round she had three birdies, four bogeys and a double-bogey on her way to shooting a 75. Nirapathpongpom missed the cut by two shots, recording scores of 79 and 76 in the first two rounds. The team will reunite next weekend for the Bryan National Collegiate, the last tournament before beginning postseason play. After experiencing a tournament loss for the first time all season, the team’s oudook was still extremely positive, recognizing that this will only toughen it for the rest of the season. “The experience was good for our team.... Golf tends to get better as the season goes along for the other teams,” Brooks said. “We want to be ready when we get into our postseason to be able to handle the environment of teams being a little closer.” MEN’S TENNIS

Despite a slew of close losses by its top singles players, the third-ranked women’s tennis team (12-1, 3-0 in the ACC) pulled out a 4-3 victory over No. 35 Florida State (19-5, 5-1) Sunday in Tallahassee, Fla. “Florida State is much better than its ranking, and I told the team that this was the best 35th-ranked team we’re ever going to see,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “But we took the crowd out ofit right away, which was really important for us.” Duke started the match on a positive note, capturing all three doubles positions to claim an early 1-0 lead. The duos of Tory Zawaki and Julia Smith, Amanda Johnson and Saras Arasu and Jennifer Zika and Kristin Cargill won 8-5, 8-6 and 8-5 at the first through third position, respectively. “Everyone is playing really well in doubles,” Arasu said. “People are feeling more comfortable, and the teams that we have right now are working really well.” The Blue Devils would ultimately need the doubles point to defeat the Seminoles, as their top three singles players were all upset. At the No. 1 slot, senior All-American Johnson lost her second consecutive match to Anca Dumitrescu in three sets. Johnson fought back from an early 1-5 deficit in the opening set to take it 7-5, and she was ahead 4-2 in the second before losing four straight games to fall 64. In the third set, Dumitrescu and Johnson traded games, and Johnson had a match point at 54. However, Dumitrescu recovered to send the match to a decisive tiebreaker, which she won 7-3. “Amanda has lost a little bit of confidence in her forehand, but she’ll get it back,” Ashworth said. “She’s a much different player when she’s playing with 100-percent confidence in her strokes because she plays with no fear then. She’s been thinking about her shots a little bit and she needs to just let it go.” Dumitrescu’s Romanian teammate, Seminole junior Mihaela Moldovan, won her 20th consecutive match 6-2, 7-5 over freshman Zika at second singles. Fellow freshman Zawaki had her 10-match winning streak stopped in a tight 4-6,64, 7-6 (s).conSEE W. TENNIS ON PAGE 10

and the Blue Devils went on to win 16-13 ‘They came out with a step more intensity than we did,” Vanderbilt head coach Kathy Swezey said.

When you're up by a couple of goals, that’s the game plan you get to play.” Duke’s 16-goal output is its second highest of the season, only surpassed by its 17-4 victory in the season opener against Maryland Baltimore-County. ‘We had a whole week off to practice and prepare for Vanderbilt, and I felt

For just a moment, it looked like Duke’s eighth-ranked men’s tennis team was in serious trouble. The Blue Devils’ top doubles pair of Ludovic Walter and Jason Zimmerman had been upset, and an upstart Clemson Tigers team had taken advantage of a flat Duke start to secure the doubles point and a 1-0 lead. Yet after a tongue-lashing from coach Jay Lapidus, the Blue Devils (13-5, 3-1 in the ACC) roared back, taking five of the six singles matches en route to a 5-2 victory over Clemson (16-10, 1-4). ‘Their coach came up to me after the doubles point and said, ‘lt looks like you guys won the national championship two weeks ago.”’ Lapidus said. “He pointed out that we looked really complacent, like we were satisfied with our doubles and the way we thought things were going to go. Luckily, the guys turned it around.” Clemson got an early edge when sophomore Jarmaine Jenkins and junior Nate Thompson knocked off Duke’s thirdranked tandem of Walter and Zimmerman. Just minutes later, a Tigers duo of Ryan Young and Brett Twente beat Duke’s Stephen Amritraj and Peter Rodrigues. “We- had some chances, they had some,” Walter said. “It all goes really fast in doubles.... They’re a very good team; they were ranked in the top 10 all of last year.” The Blue Devils returned with a vengeance in the singles matches after the animated talk with Lapidus, who was visibly angry with his team’s effort. “I kind of reached my boiling point and got a little upset with them,” Lapidus said. “I have a pretty long fuse, but I thought our doubles are a lot better than we showed in this particular match.” Duke responded by dominating the first sets of the singles matches, winning four out of the six, including three by at least four games. The early-set success set the tone for four consecutive straight-set victories.

Bite as big as bark, Hoyas win by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

The No. 7 men’s lacrosse squad (4-3) lost a heartbreaker Saturday to No. 6 Georgetown (5-1) by the count of 9-8 at Koskinen Stadium.. The Hoyas’ Walid Hajj scored the game-winning goal, his only goal of the game, with 3:14 remaining. Duke had several possessions within the last three minutes, but a combination of strong defensive pressure and ill-advised penalties prevented the Blue Devils from putting any quality shots on goal before time expired. While the final score demonstrates the competitiveness of the game, the real story lies in the six unanswered goals Georgetown netted in the second period to take a 7-3 halftime lead. To begin the game, goals by Blue Devils Lee Skandalaris, Ben Fenton and Bret Thompson gave Duke a 3-1 cushion, but the Blue Devils came out flat in the second quarter and Georgetown was able to dominate. “I would say we were absolutely pathetic in the first half,” head coach Mike Pressler said. “We couldn’t catch and throw, we couldn’t pick up a ground ball [and] we couldn’t defend. It was the worst display of offense we’ve had here in a while in the first 30 [minutes].” The lackluster effort was also obvious from the players’ perspectives, as several agreed with Pressler that the second-period performance was unacceptable. “We came out flat,” senior Chris Haunss said. ‘We were sloppy all over the place on offense, [and] we had a couple of opportunities in close, myself in particular. We picked it up a bunch in the second half, [but] in the first half we just let ourselves fall too far behind.” The second period statistics strongly support Pressler and Haunss’s observations. Georgetown won six of seven faceoffs, out-shot the Blue Devils 12-2 and picked up 16 ground balls to just five for Duke. The third quarter was a reversal of roles for the two teams, as a quick Hoya penalty enabled Blue Devil sophomore Dan Flannery to score early and get Duke back in the game. Haunss followed with a score and then assisted a Skandalaris goal with 8:38 remaining in the third to close the lead to 7-6. Georgetown’s Derek Mills pushed the lead back to 8-6 by whipping a shot passed Duke goalkeeper Aaron Fenton to close out the period. The intensity continued into the begin-

ning of the fourth quarter, as seniorBen Fenton scored an unassisted goal to narrow the gap to one with 13:29 remaining. Tough defensive pressure from the Blue Devils kept the Hoyas in check. Then Flannery converted a pass from sophomore Matt Zash to knot the game 8-8 at the 6:43 mark. Aaron Fenton temporarily preserved the tie with two difficult saves in succession with five minutes left in the game, but continuous pressure by the Georgetown offense culminated in Hajj’s unassisted goal that ultimately decided the contest.

The most glaring statistic was the 155 Hoya lead in face-offs won, a category in which Duke has struggled all season. Georgetown’s face-off extraordinaire Mike Como enabled his team to control the time of possession throughout the game. “We just got to realize we’re not a good enough team right now where we can come out here and wait for the other team to just roll over,” Fenton said. “As individuals we are not a great team, but when we play together and we play hard, we are pretty tough to beat.”

Duke sent nine women to the Stanford Invitational, and all nine Blue Devils came away qualified for the ECAC meet in mid May. “[Stanford Invitational] was a great meet for us,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “We were extremely pleased with the results.” Sophomore Clara Horowitz qualified for the NCAA Regional meet as a result of her outstanding 5,000-meter race, finishing in 16:44.98. Three other runners—senior Heidi Hullinger, who beat her best time by over a minute, sophomore Natasha Roetter and sophomore Laura Stanley—achieved the NCAA provisional marks. The meet was also the first this spring for sophomore Elizabeth Wort, who sat out the indoor season with an injury. ‘This meet was great and well worth the trip. The results showed how much the Duke women have improved,” said Ogilvie. In addition, both the men’s and women’s teams participated in the Raleigh Relays Saturday at N.C. State University. Freshman Debra Vento placed first in the high jump at the Relays. “It was a great start for [Debra] and great work for Duke,” Ogilvie said. Senior pole vaulter Brent Warner continued his strong work, finishing third at the event. “Warner also continued really good vaulting. He’s the top East Coast vaulter and he’s working on making himself a real threat at the NCAAs,” Ogilvie said. “He’s been given a longer approach, which means he has to adjust, and we are very happy with his start to the season.” In addition, two other pole vaulters had strong showings at the Raleigh Relays. Senior Krisde Howard finished 11th and junior Laura Chen came in 13th, each qualifying for the ECACs. The men’s 800 relay team disappointed on Saturday, finishing 22nd out of36 teams. Things got so bad for the men’s relay teams that during one of the events, a Duke runner dropped the baton. Additionally, Ogilvie said, one of the leadoff runners strained a quad muscfe. “These things happen, it’s just a part of track,” Ogilvie said. “We’re still early in the season, and our focus is on late May.” Duke has its own competitive meet coming up soon—the Duke Invitational April 2nd and 3rd at Wallace Wade Stadium. Ogilvie is excited for the event. “We are looking forward to the Duke Invitational where over 2,000 athletes are going to compete in one of the best events in the country,” he said.

THE FINAL FOUR

BY MICHfIEL MUELLER i THE CHRONICLE

GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS After losing major frontplayers Ed Nelson and Chris Bosh, the Yellow Jackets were disrespected by just about every major publication. Yet 27 wins later, Georgia Tech is back in its first Final Four since 1990. Head coach Paul Hewitt has solved his frontcourt problem admirably, using a three-headed backcourt monster to keep opponents at bay. When healthy, BJ. Elder is one of the nation’s premier scorers, and Will Bynum and Marvin Lewis provide Tech with one of the most dangerous three-point shooting attacks in the nation. The heart and soul of this team, however, is sophomore point guard Jarrett Jack. He may not always be the most prolific scorer on the court, but much like cousin Chris Duhon, he hits all the big shots. court

and Daniel Ewing and All-ACC center Shelden Williams. But with its season hanging in the balance Sunday evening in Atlanta, it was the youngest player in Duke’s rotation—freshman sensation Luol Deng —who put the Blue Devils squarely on his shoulders and carried them to the Final Four, showing everyone from Durham to Sudan that he may indeed be The One. Deng led the Blue Devils in scoring for the second straight game en route to being named the regional’s Most Outstanding Player, but ironically it was two plays in which he didn’t shoot—or wasn’t supposed to, anyway—that ultimately slammed the door on Xavier in one of Duke’s closest, and most intense, games of the season. With the score, and every stomach in the Georgia Dome, knotted at 56 with 3:21 remaining, Duhon penetrated into the lane for a layup, but missed. After a scramble, Deng knocked the ball loose from Xavier forward Justin Doellman and immediately found a wide-open Redick at the top of the key for a game-breaking three-pointer. “I went up with Doellman and he didn’t really box me out, he went for the ball,” Deng said. “So what I tried to do was to hit the ball and then get it back, but he held the ball pretty strong and I couldn’t get it out of his hands. But then at the last second it came out of his hands so I grabbed it, and I was off-balance [but] I saw J.J. and threw it to him.” One minute later, after Shelden Williams stuffed a Dedrick Finn layup attempt, Duhon again drove the lane, clearly trying to assert himself as Duke’s leader and go-to man. Once again, however, his layup rimmed out. As the ball caromed off the rim, Deng skied out of nowhere over a number of players, stretched out his arms and just barely grazed the ball with his fingertips. It was just enough to push the ball back through the basket. With that, Duke had a commanding five-point lead with 1:52 to go, and the valiant Musketeers were all but defeated. “I Just wanted to go out and get the ball,” Deng said. “I have no idea even where I jumped from. I just saw the ball, and said to myself I’ve got to

OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS Oklahoma State hasn’t so much been defeating opponents as they have been outslugging them—no team has been able to score more than 62 points on the Cowboys, a team so physical it sometimes wears football pads to practice. Nonetheless, the Pokes are a team capable of putting points on the board. Four different Cowboys had double figure scoring averages during the season, led by senior Tony Allen, a physical guard who knows how to penetrate. Oklahoma State, however, would not be in the Final Four without Baylor transfer John Lucas. The smooth-shooting guard, who hit the game-winner against St. Joe’s, has carried the Cowboys on his back at times this season.

What makes Deng’s heroic performance in the second half all the more amazing is that he had a horrid first half, demonstrating the type of nervousness and hesitation one would expect from a freshman playing on the biggest stage of his life. But rather than pack it in, Deng not only turned it on in the second half, he took over. “At halftime I had a bad feeling about how I performed,” Deng said. “This is the type of game where if you don’t let it all out, you’re going to regret it for a long time. In the second half I just wanted to go out there and give it all I had.” Deng’s performance certainly had visions of greatness dancing through Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s head, not only for what he did on the court,

but in the locker room as well “One of the great things that happened in this game, happened at halftime,” Krzyzewski said. “We knew that we were going to be in a heck of a ballgame. Luol got very emotional, he was crying, and he just stood up and expressed his feelings to the team that we needed to play outside ourselves. For a freshman to do that...had a tremendous impact on our team. In my time as a coach, whenever I’ve seen a kid do that, whether it be Dawkins, Hill, Hurley or Laettner, Langdon or Battier, they usually end up doing something really exceptional in that half or game, and that’s what happened. His leadership skills came out, and as a result he made those plays. We needed something extraordinary from our guys, and Luol gave us that.” Duke now celebrates its 10th Final Four berth in 19 years under Krzyzewski, and if the Blue Devils are to earn their fourth National Championship in one week, you can be sure their emerging freshman superstar will have an awful lot to do with it.

This year’s squad has the talent to put a fourth ring on Krzyzewski’s finger; Luol Deng, Daniel Ewing and JJ.

Of course, the Huskies have also had the tournament’s easiest road into the Final Four; Connecticut’s most difficult matchup was an overachieving Vanderbilt team, and even they were only a six seed. Nonetheless, Jim Calhoun’s squad is about as legitimate as they come. Taliek Brown is the best passer UConn has ever seen, while Ben Gordon and Rashad Anderson provide ample scoring. All-world center Emeka Okafor may be hurting, but the Huskies may still be the Final Four’s toughest out.

La. Tech’s defense provides stiff test for Duke NORFOLK, Va. Going into Sunday's Sweet 16 matchup, both teams were anticipating a dense paint and tough crowd in the post. Louisiana Tech’s top-two players, Trina Frierson and Amisha Carter, each averaging double figures in scoring, do their work down low. Duke also likes to pound the ball inside and had a clear height advantage with four players several inches taller than Frierson and Carter. However, it wasn’t offensive dominance in the post but rather defensive control of the post, that allowed the Blue Devils to come out on top 63-49.

“[Louisiana Tech's] defense is just incredible,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “They make it hard for you to really run anything. And those two posts players, they’re just tough for anybody to match up with.... Both teams really did a pretty good job on the defensive end.... We said that although we’re two of the top scoring teams in the nation, we though it would come down to defense and 1 think it really did.” Both teams took and made about the same number of shots—Duke went 25of-57 and Tech 22-of-66. The Blue Devils scored 18 of their 63 points inside the paint and 12 from beyond the arc. The Techsters tallied 20 points in the paint. But Carter, who has been averaging 17.2 points a game in the post, was held to just nine points and was forced into three turnovers. In addition, Duke’s post players had 11 blocks that contained Carter and penetration from the Techsters’ guards. “They have two great post players and I felt like we could wear them down a little bit,” Goestenkors said. “We certainly weren’t going to stop them but we felt like if we continued to rotate people in it would be to our benefit. I think we did an

excellent job on Carter and made her take tough shots. And Frierson, she scored and did a great job, but probably four of her shots were outside shots so overall we did a decent job in the paint on those two.” “What we wanted to do was to get help from the guards,” post player Iciss Tillis said. “The guards wanted to double down on their post players in the beginning, and I thought we did a good job disrupting their post players.” On the other end of the court, the Blue Devils were having their own problems attacking the inside. Duke remained scoreless for the first five minutes of the game primarily because Louisiana Tech’s tight man-to-man defense disrupted the Blue Devils’ insideoutside passing game. With increasing difficulty getting the ball inside, Duke was forced to take shots from the perimeter. And even then, the defense remained tight on the inside, tempting the Blue Devil guards to shoot from the perimeter where they were still missing open shots. Duke’s scoring leader and most clutch player, Alana Beard, went 3-for-8 in the first half, and the Blue Devils shot 35.7 percent. “I give a lot of credit to Louisiana Tech,” said Beard, who ultimately finished with 17 points. “They made me take a lot of outside shots a lot of long jumpers.” It seemed almost as if the defensive prowess of both teams had canceled each other out, and contrary to pregame expectation, the outcome of the game depended on perimeter offense rather than interior offense. This is where Louisiana Tech got beat. The Techsters shot 30.3 percent overall whereas, after improving its accuracy in the second half, Duke finished shooting 38.6 percent shooting. “You can’t beat the number one team in the country shooting 30 percent and

The seventh-seeded Golden Gophers upset the third seed, Boston College, 76-63, on the other side of the bracket. Duke’s sense of relief and elation not withstanding, it was the players’ and coaches’ frustration that was the most visible thing on the court Sunday. It could be seen in the way Alana Beard rolled her eyes as she jogged back down the court after a questionable foul call negated her uncontested breakaway or heard in the way Mistie Bass screamed ‘Ball, ball, ball’ in an effort to receive an entry pass into the post. It was also evident in the tone of Louisiana Tech’s coach, Kurt Budke, whose voice broke as he lamented that if only his team had shot the ball the way it had all year long, he and his players would be sitting in the media room in a much different mood. Instead, all he had left to comfort himselfwas the consoling pat on the shoulder from one of his star seniors, Trina Feirson, as she walked off the interview podium. “Well, obviously we would like to be sitting up here as winners today,” Budke said. “I thought we played 40 minutes as hard as we can play. You can’t beat the No. 1 team in the country shooting 30 percent. They had something to do with that” The Blue Devils were led by Monique Currie’s 18 points and seven rebounds. Beard and fellow senior Iciss Tillis managed to score 17 and 11 points, respectively, despite both being in foul trouble most of the game. Both teams struggled shooting the ball. Duke managed to hit 22 ofits 57 shots (38.6 percent) whileLouisiana Tech went 20-66 (30.3 percent). Only two Lady Techsters hit more than two field goals. Louisiana Tech received a big day from Frierson, who

had 22 points and 12 rebounds. Erica Smith-Taylor added 11 points but fouled out with more than 10 minutes left in the game. It’s no secret that this run through the NCAA tournament is the last chance to win a national championship for seniors Beard, Tillis and Krapohl, but it was Currie who carried the team in the second half. After watching her team from bench last year with a torn ACL, Currie tallied all ofher rebounds and 14 of her points in the second half and was the team’s primary source of scoring. Then Duke got its gears on track. It was Krapohl who reminded her teammates what a double-digit lead felt like when she swished a wide-open three-pointer with

4:40 left in the game. And then Beard, after watching Currie carry the team all half, finished Louisiana Tech off with 62 seconds of do-it-all plays. The Shreveport, La., native hit a pair of free throws, made a shot off the backboard, made a block at the otherend and then on the next possession whipped a rifle pass to Currie for a lay-up. Beard’s efforts brought the score to 6147 and the Duke cheering section—led by a towel-waving Robert Keohane, JamesB. Duke Professor of political science, who was in attendance with his wife, President Nan Keohane —to a froth. After the game, President Keohane said she and Presidentelect Richard Brodhead were attending the women’s and men’s tournaments in Norfolk and Adanta, respectively.

TRACKING MADNESS THE MEN'S 2004 NOM TOURNAMENT I ROAD TO THE FINAL FOUR were in zone,” Musketeer head coach Tad Malta said. “When you play against a team like Duke, you have to be able to execute all of your plays, especially your inbounds plays. We were able to switch up well most of the game, it just didn’t work on that play and Duke was able to take advantage ofit.” After a two minute period that saw nothing but fouls (including Deng’s fourth), missed shots and turnovers, Blue Devils’ captain Chris Duhon knifed through the Xavier defense into a position where he had an easy lay up. The Louisiana native missed the chip shot, but Deng seemingly jumped over the entire Musketeer team and grabbed the miss. Falling out of bounds, Deng flung the ball to JJ. Redick, who subsequendy gave Duke a lead it would not relinquish by swishing a wide-open three from the top of the key to make the score 59-56 with 2:56 remaining on the clock. Despite hitting the critical three, Redick did not have a good shooting game, making only 4-of-14 shots from the field. Shelden Williams then evaded his fifth foul while blocking Dedrick Finn’s darting drive on Xavier’s attempt to respond to Redick’s three. With the ball once again, Duhon burst passed the Musketeer defense, only to miss another lay up. Deng, however, was there once again, and gracefully, yet powerfully tipped the ball in to give the Blue Devils a somewhat comfortable 61-56 lead with 1:52 remaining. ‘Just that one spurt by Luol was the difference in the ball game,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. A few moments later, after Remain Sato went one-fortwo from the free throw line with 56 seconds left, the Musketeers had dwindledDuke’s lead down to four. Led by Duhon, the Blue Devils were able to wind the clock down significantly on their next possession before Justin Cage fouled Chris Duhon with 25 seconds remaining. Duhon

knocked down both the shots, assuring a Blue Devil victory. Malta rationalized his decision not to purposely foul with 56 seconds remaining. “I think, we’re down four with 57 (sic) seconds, and they’re such a great free-throw shootipg team, I didn’t want to give them six and let them set their defense,” he said. In the triumph, Deng, Williams and Shavlik Randolph were plagued by foul trouble for much of the second half. While Randolph was eventually disqualified, Wiliams, who picked up his fourth foul with 8:22 to go in the game, and Deng were able to finish out the contest. “We were frustrated we couldn’t [get Williams and Deng to foul out],” Malta said. “We were trying to put them in position to foul, and I give Duke credit because they did a great job of getting them on us.” Perhaps the biggest game-changing play occurred with about 12:30 remaining. Musketeer Anthony Myles, who disrupted the Blue Devil interior attack throughout the game by scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in only 23 minutes, picked up his fourth foul with 12:27 to go in the second halfand fouled out just six seconds later on a rebound from a Redick miss. “I thought somebody was going to be [at the scorers table], but I looked over and there was nobody there,” Miles said about not being subbed out after his fourth personal. ‘Then the play started, and I did my best not to get my fifth foul but he called it anyway.” Sato, who scored 27 points against Texas in the Sweet 16, only shot 2-for-10 from the field. Lionel Chalmers led the Musketeers with 17 points, but scored only four in the second half. Duhon shadowed Sato in the first half and Chalmers in the second. “I told my team at halftime, I can only put Chris on one player,” Krzyzewski said. “Whoever was hot I tried to put him on. Then they became not hot. It’s a nice thing to have as a coach.” While this is Krzyzewski’s 10th Final Four, Duhon was

129.1: “What’s Lost In Translation?” Latin American Theater in English AL.IAA

Location; West

Theater, in Latin American culture, has historically been both a barometer of political weather and a force for social transformation. This course focuses on contemporary texts and performances, that provoke discussion and thought of what theatre means as a communal, participatory experience. Plays and readings are geared to show both the diversity of Latin American theatre and how and why theatre practitioners choose particular theatrical forms. Among authors, theorists and performers we will study: Enrique Buenaventura, Augusto Boal, Osvaldo Dragun, Griselda Gambaro, Nelson Rodrigues, Guillermo Gomez-Pena and Luis Valdez. All texts are in English translation. Instructor; Damascene C-L: Spanish 124.1

1295.1: Shakespeare and The Sea of Stories AL, lAA

Location: West

We will study no more than six or seven Shakespeare texts at a relatively leisurely pace, which will provide us the opportunity closely to examine difficult passages in the plays and to viewand discuss excerpts from film and videotape productions. Our critical approach will be how the texts might be performed,both in Shakespeare’s timeand in our own. Part of the methodology of the course will be to compare early printed versions of the plays (from the 16th and 17th centuries) with recent, heavily editedversions. Partial list of plays under consideration: Romeo and Juliet,Hamlet, Richard 111, Henry V, Midsummer Night’s Dream, King Lear and others. Instructor; Beckwith.

With a team like that, we’re difficult to beat.”

The bases were loaded for Brian Jarosinski, who singled through the left side and brought in two runs to give the Terps a 3-1 lead and uldmately the win. “[The loss] left a bad taste in our mouth,” Miello said. “It was the one team we didn’t want to lose to. Losing a game at the very end, it’s more dramatic and you can feel it a little more intensely.”

OFFENSE from page 8 that’s what we ended up shooting tonight,” Louisiana Tech head coach Kurt Budke said. “They had a lot to do with that and we missed some shots we normally hit tonight.” Once again, defense was the key when Tillis and Mistie Bass got in foul trouble. The Blue Devils were forced to switch to zone defense which led to miss-matches and confusion on the part of the Techsters. “Both teams did a great job on defense, but I think the fact that we did a lot of switching in our defensive sets and that really bothered them,” Beard said. “I think we doubled down really hard on the post players.” Duke had a much easier time translating its game to the perimeter.

MONDAY, MARCH 29, 2004 Vicki Krapohl came off the bench and hit three long buckets all from beyond the arch. Her first trey gave the Blue Devils their first lead, 11 minutes into the first half. Then with 13 minutes remaining in the contest, the other dominant post player for Tech, Frierson, hit a short jumper over Tillis and then a put-back layup to bring the Techsters within three. But on the next possession, Krapohl took the dare by shooting an open three from the top of the key and sinking it. From that point forward, the Blue Devils controlled the game. Ultimately both coaches were correct in assuming that the game was riding on the post. But what it came down to was really the ability to eliminate the post and balance that defense out with a solid perimeter.

As the tournament narrows down, however, the Blue Devils will need to have a more aggressive offense overall from the tip. “I was very frustrated because I felt like we were turning the ball over,” Goestenkors said. “Tech plays unbelievable defense but many of our turnovers were unforced. They were daring our players to shoot, and I thought they were being disrespectful to our players. I’d take that personally if someone wouldn’t guard me, but I didn’t feel like our players were taking it personally. They were just standing with the ball over their head not being aggressive, so I was just telling them they need to be more aggressive, and this is the time we need to put the game away and on the offensive floor we needed to play like champions.”

Kristen Waagbo battles for possession during Sunday's hard-fought victory over Vanderbilt.

VANDY from page 4 that our offensive production had not been up to par,” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “So we spent a lot of time this week just going back to basics, and trying to do the easy things right. I think it gave the kids a lot of confidence—they came out to practice really strong, and I think that translated to the field, which was really great to see.” The Blue Devils’ great start could also be attributed to their superb play off the draw. Duke held all-4 draw control advantage over the Commodores in the first half. ‘The name of the game was possession,” Swezey said. ‘You break down any game, ground balls and draw controls will be the difference between winning and losing.” Katie Chrest, Duke’s leading goal scorer, found the back of the net three times in Sunday’s contest, and was very happy with her team’s offensive performance. “We looked at the fact that we were losing, and we knew there was a reason, because we know we can compete with [Georgetown and Princeton],” Chrest said. “We really broke down our offense this week, it was starting to be our weak point. This shows that our hard work really paid off. We came out hungry.” The Blue Devils were also helped by a surprising performance from freshman Leigh Jester, who garnered her first collegiate hat trick and earned high praise from her coach. ‘This is why we wanted Leigh Jester to come to Duke,” Kimel said. “She’s a scrappy player, she handles the ball well, she’s a pretty good defender too, but we decided to move her up because we felt..that we could really use Leigh’s stick handling on offense, and I think it’s been a

good adjustment.” The only disappointment for the Blue Devils was their defensive play in the second half. Vanderbilt cut the lead

to four on two occasions in the final stanza and outscored Duke 9-6 in the second half. “Vanderbilt’s a really good team, and I don’t think they played up to their potential in the first half,” senior Meghan Walters said. “I think they just broke some things down [at halftime] and exposed some of our weaknesses today. We just couldn’t pull it together defensively today.” Nonetheless, the Blue Devils were still glad to get back on the winning track. “To get that winning feeling again is a lot of fun, because we’ve definitely been upset with our performance in the last couple of games,” Jester said. ‘This was a great game for us today.”

What does it mean to live authentically? What is it to be an individual? Is it possible to believe seriously in anything, or anyone? What is the unique significance of the inevitability of one’s own death? Why should one live at all? The writings—partly philosophical and partly literary—that make up what is often spoken of as the “existentialist” tradition seek not so much to reason out answers to these, and other similar, questions as to bring about a fundamental engagement with them. What tends to be principally at stake in these writings are matters of inescapable confrontation and ineluctable choice, fundamental decision and moral judgment. Traces of this sensibility are discernible throughout human history. It is in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, however, that it receives its most significant expressions, in the works of writers such as Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, Rilke, Kafka, Sartre, Camus, and others. These will be the primary focus of this course.

brook Strip notwithstanding, colleges seem

college affiliations are particularly strong because their college is so close to Old Campus, where most freshmen live together in dorms affiliated with their colleges. “We’re small and we have a bad dining hall so that brings us closer together,”

at first like dorms with perks. Primarily com-

prised of residential housing space, the basics of dorm life are duplicated in each college. Each boosts laundry rooms, computer clusters and student lounges—just like most quads at Duke. But there are some differences from life in quads and life colleges, most notably that each college provides a four-year “home” for students—physically, academically and socially. To support this environment, each of the 12 colleges feature a dining hall, a library, a master who oversees college life and an academic dean. The colleges vary in size by about 25 studentsper class, but most have about 100 students per class year. Although most freshmen live together on Old Campus, students are attached to their colleges before they arrive on campus and advisors for freshmen are assigned by college. Upperclassmen live in their colleges the rest of their Yale careers. All housing is suite-style with students in single or double rooms sharing a commons room and bathroom. Unlike at Duke, which offers a variety of options, anyone looking for apartment housing is forced off campus. Occasionally, students can feel stuck in their affiliations if most of their friends are from other colleges. Some students do switch college affiliations, but such changes are rare and require an application. What really morphs colleges from souped-up dorms to microcosms of Yale are the two administrators who live in the colleges: the master and the dean. The two administrators live in full fledged houses located among student dorm rooms. Although they are usually accomplished professors, they serve no policing function. Fundamentally, they are scholars who care about student community and intellectual life; they are not seasoned administrators. ‘This is a community, not a dorm,” said Steven Smith, master of Branford College. He noted that college identity does not just extend to students. Each of Yale’s faculty members is also affiliated with a college. However, college association is stronger than quad or dorm affiliation. “It’s definitely a defining factor of Yale,” said fresh-

with fellow residents. Her friends said their

freshman Janey Symington said. With the mandatory student meal plan, students can eat in any college’s dining hall, but most gravitate to the eateries in their own colleges. Students say eating regularly with a smaller group of people is one of the major items that facilitates community. “I met a lot of upperclassmen in my college because I eat in the dining hall,” Symington said. Some students complain about the quality of the food and the lack of selection. However, the ARAMARK Corp.-operated dining halls are consistently well-rated nationally. Since every student is required to purchase a substantial board plan, they take the dining hall food, which is only offered until 7 p.m. Sundays and 9 p.m. every other day, as a given. Each college also has its own intramural sports teams and student government. Many of them publish weekly newsletters full of inside jokes, updates and programming announcements for the college. College councils also serve as programming bodies. With college funds, individual students can get reimbursed for throwing parties open to the whole community. The councils also host several smaller activities throughout the year. “The study breaks are really good,” freshman Oliver Davies said. ‘They give us a lot of food. Like last night we had Chinese.” College activities are funded from two sources —the Parents’ Fund, distributed evenly among colleges by the University’s development office, and a second fund filled by each college’s alumni. The master, the head of each college, coordinates most college activities. There are no resident assistants, residence coordinators or graduate assistants at Yale and on the weekends, thumping music overflows from crowded student suites into the central green areas outside. Smith, like many masters, knows most students’ names and hometowns and named all the students hailing from Mis-

This course traces the birth of modem English and Irish drama back to the theatrical conventions of English popular entertainment and the continental “high” art of Ibsen. Out of such varied dramatic forms as melodrama, vaudeville, opera, realism and the well-made play, English and Irish drama evolved by both criticizing and capitalizing on these traditions. Topics will include audience response, a comparison of the movements for national theaters in England and Ireland, and the various critiques that these playwrights leveled at the societal ills of the Victorian era. Readings will include works by such authors as Ibsen, Gilbert and Sullivan, Pinero, Shaw, Wilde, Yeats, Synge, and O’Casey. Instructor: Foster C-L: English 1732

Yale's residential colleges are tight-knit communities wherestudents eat, sleep and celebrate together.

sissippi in his college with little effort. He frequently eats with students in the dining hall, and the courtyard where students play ultimate Frisbee and sun themselves doubles as Smith’s backyard. “In these informal ways, I get to talk with students and get to know them,” he said. Masters also put on informal programming in their homes, regularly bringing in celebrities and other less famous figures to talk at “Master’s Teas,” which draw anywhere from 5 to 50 people. Everyone from members of the band Phish to the Swiss ambassador to the United Nations has spoken at these small gatherings. At these informal gatherings, students and faculty chat with featured guests and each other while munching finger food and sipping tea or wine. In addition to student life, academics are also based out of the colleges. Each college sponsors several full credit seminar classes a semester, in which college residents receive priority registration. The dean of each college also serves as the senior academic advisor for residents. Students said the dean’s offices are always a flurry of activity. In the course of 10 minutes last Friday afternoon, six students dropped by the office at Branford.

12953: Ethical Stages AL,IAA

Location: West

This course examines ethical issues in the theater in several ways: reading and discussing works of dramatic literature in which characters face ethical challenges; studying the workplace of theater and examining ethical challenges faced by artists, technicians, and managers; and examining ethical dilemmas faced" by theater artists at key historical/political moments, e.g., German artists during the Third Reich, or American artists during the McCarthy investigations. Students develop a major research paper and class presentation over the course of the semester. Instructor: Riddell. C-L: Literature 1513

Location: East

Using the writings of Stanislavsky and Chekhov and their work with the Moscow Art Theatre, the fundamentals of acting realism will be explored through exercises, scene study, and text analysis. Introduction to voice and movement training for the actor. Theory and text analysis will be studied in their historical context with attention to their contemporary relevance.

As the goto person for all things academic in Branford College, Dean Thomas McDow is responsible for signing schedules and authorizing excuses for late homework and missed tests for all 460 students of his college. In theory, the rules for such excuses are all standardized, but the interpretation of the rules varies by college, McDow said. It creates a “culture of local options.” Students rave about lax deans who will occasionally extend deadlines on papers for sleep-deprived campus leaders—and they complain about some who look skeptically at undergraduates who come in requesting make-up exams due to illness. But regardless of how difficult it is to get a dean’s excuse, students thrive on their college affiliations. All the colleges have unique features architecturally and characteristically. Students playfully argue that their assigned college is the best, but no University-wide winner or loser exists—except in intramural sports. And unlike at Duke when students exiled to Edens complain about the quad, even students in the most distant college can be heard screaming their cheers with college pride at campus-wide events.

GREENHOUSE from page* in their classes. She explained that she uses the greenhouse in a biology class for non-majors by taking her students to the facility, encouraging them to explore the greenhouse on their own and bringing samples from the greenhouse back to the classroom. The results of such activities, she said, have been tangible. “Most students tell me that their exposure to the greenhouse is a very positive experience,” Fryer said. Sophomore Iris Bierlein, who went to the greenhouse as a part of Fryer’s class, said that as part of a class project she studied a plant from the collections greenhouse, gaining valuable hands-on experience. “I really appreciated having the opportunity to go to the greenhouse, and if it weren’t for [that] class I don’t know that I

“In order to change [the legislative voting structure] to class assignments, we have to remove the restriction on residential location, and in that case the bylaws would be used to make it class-based,” Slovik said. “The thing to remember is that the dynamic of the school is changing—class systems will be pretty similar to residential assignment.” DSG’s elections commission has set April 15 as the date for class officer and senator elections, with senators elected by class and to specific committees, as per the bylaw amendments passed by the Senate earlier this month, Kahne said. For Tuesday’s election, polls will be

would have taken advantage of this resource,” Bierlein said. Fryer explained that the collections greenhouse is valuable, not only for the opportunities it affords students, but also for the prestige it lends to the University. Duke’s current collections greenhouse is one of the most established and renowned facilities ofits kind in the nation. Fryer said she was hopeful that the University will ensure adequate space for the teaching collection in the future. Although exact plans for the collections greenhouse are still unclear, Kirinus is optimistic that the collections greenhouse will remain a priority for the

University.

open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the Bryan Center walkway, at Alpine Bagels and at the Marketplace and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. online, Kahne said. He added that undergraduates will receive an e-mail tomorrow morning reminding them to vote and providing them with a link to the DSG website. “We moved the elections back this year, because we tried to anticipate and prevent a runofffrom being interrupted by Spring Break like it was last year,” Kahne explained. Last year’s executive elections took place before the break, but Slovik and then-junior Taylor Collison had to face off in a runoff election because neither had garnered the requisite 10 percent plurality as stipulated by election bylaws.

months leading up to the attacks. He said he sought declassification of all six hours of his testimony before a congressional committee two years ago. Some Republicans have said that testimony about Sept. 11 contradicts Clarke’s current criticism. Clarke said he also wanted Rice’s previous interview before the independent Sept. 11 commission declassified, along with e-mails between him and Rice, and other documents, including a memo he sent on Jan. 25, 2001 offering a road map to the new Bush administration on how to confront al Qaeda, and a directive that the National Security Council adopted on Sept. 4, 2001. The material will prove “they wasted months when we could have had some action,” Clarke said. Rice says the approach formulated over eight months was “a more comprehensive plan to eliminate al Qaeda.” Asked about Clarke’s request for the declassification, Secretary of State Colin Powell on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” said, “My bias will be to provide this information in an unclassified manner not only to the commission, but to the American people.” White House spokesperson Jim Morrell said decisions on declassification “will be made in discussion with the 9/11 commission.” One senior administration official said the White House and intelligence community would never agree to release the Sept. 4 national security directive, because it contains information on sources and methods. Members of the Sept. 11 commissioner made clear they will not relent in their pursuit of public testimony from Rice, but said

they were not inclined to subpoena her. The White House will not let her appear at the commission’s televised hearings, citing the constitutional principle of separation ofpowers; the panel was created by Congress. “Condi Rice would be a superb witness. She is anxious to testify. The president would dearly love to have her testify,” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters. “But the lawyers have concluded that to do so would alter the balance if we got into the practice of doing that.” Rice was interviewed by the panel behind closed doors on Feb. 7. The administration has offered a second private session with Rice, but the commission has not

accepted.

Rice was ‘Very, very forthcoming in her first meeting with us,” said former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, a Republican named by Bush to lead the commission. “But we do feel unanimously as a commission that she should testify in public. We feel it’s important to get her case out there.We recognize there are arguments having to do with separation of powers. We think in a tragedy of this magnitude that those kind of legal arguments are probably overridden,” Kean told “Fox News Sunday.” Commissioner John Lehman, another Republican, said Rice “has nothing to hide, and yet this is creating the impression for honest Americans all over the country and people all over the world that the White, House has something to hide, that Condi Rice has something to hide.” “And if they do, we sure haven’t found it. There are no smoking guns. That’s what makes this so absurd. It’s a political blunder of the first order,” Lehman told ABC’s “This Week.” A White House ally, Richard Perle, said, “I think she would be wise to testify.”

ACES from page 1 clear ACES was not functioning, Registrar Bruce Cunningham e-mailed all juniors, apologizing for the technical difficulties and telling them he hoped to open the senior registration window at 9 a.m. Saturday, provided that OIT was ready. Then, several hours later, he e-mailed juniors again to tell them registration would actually begin at 7 a.m. Monday, pushing back all other classes’ registration one day. His rationale was that several students e-mailed him to tell him about practice LSAT and MCAT administrations, athletic travel and other travel. ‘The fact that we decided to move the window to Monday instead of Saturday was a direct result of the feedback provided to us by students,” Cunningham said, noting the general helpfulness of the student feedback he received. Many juniors expressed mild annoyance at having to wake up early twice to register but were relatively sanguine about the move to Monday instead of Saturday. “I’m definitely glad they moved it to Monday because I

was out of town this weekend, and I know a lot of other people who were too,” said junior Mac Conforti. A number of students not affiliated with a sports team visited Atlanta this weekend to watch the men’s basketball team advance to the Final Four. OlT’s other problem this week—persistent e-mail difficulties—lacked a silver lining. At 6:20 p.m. March 23, Senior Technical Architect and Strategist Michael Gettes said an operating system malfunction caused the e-mail server to crash, and a critical file system containing user identification information was corrupted. Despite a brief return to service about an hour later, e-mail prompdy became inaccessible again and was not restored until 4:30 a.m. the next day. All seemed well until Thursday, when another file system exhibited many of the same symptoms that the previous file system did just before it became corrupted. To head off the problem, OIT notified about 7,000 users that their e-mail access would be shut down for six to eight hours, beginning at 5 p.m. The shutdown actually lasted 10.5 hours, but by the morning all e-mail was back online. Many students said they were quite irritated by the e-

“Honesdy, I didn’t care much about it until I woke up the next morning and found out that I had stayed up until 3 a.m. studying for a class that was canceled,” senior Anna Mims said. “I just think it’s absurd that we pay all this money and then Duke can’t keep e-mail up and running in the middle of the week.” Cake said there may be more unplanned e-mail outages, and that there will likely be at least one more planned outage. “Until the root cause is known, we cannot guarantee that it will not happen again. We are doing everything we can to prevent another unscheduled outage,” she said. “Once the root cause is known and we have solutions, we will probably need to take the system down to implement the solutions.” Duke is already in the process of transferring all users to a central e-mail system, a process that was supposed to be completed by the end of February but that has been stymied several times and has plateaued at about 65 percent completion. An ironic sidenote is that OIT personnel worked for months to avoid a general e-mail shutdown. “Georgetown University recently had an e-mail system switch during which their entire e-mail system was down for a few days,” said Gettes in February. “That would have been unacceptable at Duke.” Currently, OIT personnel are working with Sun Microsystems, the manufacturer of the Solaris operating system that had the problems. Cake said the Duke case is urgent enough that it has been referred to that company’s CEO.

scientist at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris. He added that Chirac “has to say he has heard the French, he has to change a few ministers.” According to exit polls late Sunday, the Socialist Party and allied leftist parties won half of the votes while centerright parties that include Chirac’s Union for a Popular Movement party, or the UMP, won 37.5 percent. The far right won 12.5 percent, according to the polls. The elections will give the Socialists control of a large majority of the country’s 26 regional councils, which set regional development plans and administer billions of dollars in regional budgets.

DCU endorses DSG candidates The Executive Board of the Duke Conservative Union is pleased to announce our endorsement of the following candidates for Duke Student Government. With enthusiasm equal to his own, the DCU endorses Anthony Vitarelli for DSG president. He is dedicated to improving Duke University for undergraduates and has a clear vision for accomplishing this task. We endorse Andrew Wisnewski for executive vice president because of his lucid understanding of the position and his businesslike approach to handling campus issues. For vice president of academic affairs, we endorse Chase Johnson. His platform is impressive and he knows how to get things done at Duke. Brandon Goodwin receives our endorsement in the vice president of student affairs race because of his ability to address student concerns without trying to program student life. We endorse Jesse Longoria for vice president of campus services and athletics, not because he is running unopposed, but

rather because he is truly committed to enhancing facilities across campus. Finally, we endorse Kirstin Hopkins for vice president of community interaction.

Hopkins’ undergraduate-centered platform

and DSG experience was the deciding factor in a race that lacks a remarkable candidate. All DCU-endorsed candidates agreed to our pledge promising to refrain from using DSG office to address international, national and local politics. The DCU applauds the candidates for making our decisions such difficult ones. In my four years at Duke, this is the strongest field I have encountered. Although they did not receive our endorsement, I hope to see candidates such as Pasha Majdi and Russ Ferguson playing an active role in campus leadership next year. I encourage DCU members, as well as the student body as a whole, to cast their votes for the candidates endorsed above on Tuesday.

Jeffrey Raileanu, Trinity ’O4 President, Duke Conservative Union

Mi Gente endorses DSG candidates On behalf of Mi Gente: La Asociacion de Estudiantes Latinos at Duke University, we would like to announce the Duke Student Government candidates endorsed by our organization. Following a multicultural group question and answer session with candidates, Mi Gente’s Council formally endorses junior Anthony Vitarelli for president, junior Priscilla Mpasi for executive vice president, sophomore Christopher Chin for vice president of academic affairs, freshman Joel Kliksberg for vice president of community interaction, sophomore Jesse Longoria for vice president of campus

services and athletics, and sophomore Brandon Goodwin for vice president of student affairs. These candidates offered vision and a greater understanding of their role within DSG and the larger Duke community. Mi Gente encourages all members of the Duke community to vote Tuesday. Sara Hudson, Trinity ’O4 Mi Gente Co-President Adriana Salazar, Trinity ’O4 Mi Gente Co-President Paloma Garza, Trinity ’O4 Mi Gente Vice President

International Association and Council offers endorsements The International Association and Council endorse the following candidates for DSG executive offices: Joel Kliksberg for vice president of community interaction; Chase Johnson for vice president of academic affairs; Mark Middaugh for vice president of student affairs; Andrew Wisnewski for executive vice president; and Anthony Vitarelli for president. We cite immensely successful working relationships with Kliksberg, Wisnewski and Vitarelli as our primary basis for judgment, and are confident that their proven

track record of results-driven leadership will continue. That they have not been able to effect greater change thus far is merely a result of bureaucratic limitations, and we are certain that if they are moved to the top of the heap, their enthusiasm and competence will spark sweeping reforms across Duke’s campus.

For Jeff

know that in my time at Duke, I have written seditious and bitter things. I also know that many students at Duke may not like or respect me; my flamboyant and progressive ideas; or the perspective that, through my angry words, I work to bring to Duke. Today’s perspective will make you hate me more. This year alone, there have been countless articles in The Chronicle and dialogues on campus criticizing and lambasting students for the way in which we treat our employees But I wonder how many of these students .carry worthwhile and respectable relationships and friendships with the other side of Duke —the is Durham side, the employee side, the “I-cook-your■

“I-clean-your-toilets-andLike a Polaroid Picture showers” side of Duke that they push for other students to get to know. A good friend of mine died a couple weeks ago. And this anger that many of you criticize me for having was aggravated by how few people knew or appreciated this friend of mine. His name was Jeff Allen. He worked at the Marketplace. And he died of a heart attack. He had children. He had a wife. But what I remember most about this friend of mine is that he always had a smile.... And he always read my articles about table dancing and “barely-there” Gucci tops. He called me “dancer” and made me crib-walk for him whenever I came in. We often talk about racism at Duke. We talk about how blackness is seen as a collective, and how we often don’t recognize or distinguish one black man from another; or, worse—as one letter to the editor clearly outlined—one black woman from another black woman. My “black” friend Liz says that I better say “Hi” when I —

see her on the BC walkway, lest I be one of “those girls”... one of those other ones, that is. Because Jeff was a black man—but perhaps more importantly because he was a working-class black man—l felt that many students passed by Jeff and didn’t really distinguish him from the others that worked at the Marketplace. In fact,

you may have confused Jeff with another friend of mine. Wallace. Wallace is my best friend at the Marketplace, and Wallace is an amazing artist. He draws with oils to create surreal images of life and reality. Both literally and figuratively, Wallace adds his two cents of color to a black and white Duke. Wallace keeps a portfolio at the grill where he works and makes conversation with what would appear to be a disinterested Duke student body. You see, Wallace knows and feels that the students he talks to often dismiss him. But like Jeff, Wallace keeps smiling. You should talk to Wallace sometime. Talk to him about his daughter, Kharisma (pronounced “Charisma”). She just had a birthday. Or about his wife.... She works for Mary Kay. For Jeff’s memorial service, for the students ofDuke and for Jeff’s family, Wallace painted an amazing portrait of Jeff. Beverly, another Duke employee, helped me to create a poster to celebrate what Jeff did for Duke. Anthony didn’t know what to say, but his silence said more than enough. Tracy lamented on how she lost a dear friend. Curtis did what he does best... he chuckled, except that his otherwise charming and bees-knees smile was tainted and bittersweet. If you looked closely you could see him pucker. Robert tried his best to look on the positive side of life, and not about how unfair life can be and how unfair life has been to him lately. At a time when he was so sad, what is perhaps sadder is that through watery eyes he came back to the Marketplace, and he saw Duke students so nonchalant about what had happened to his dear friend. It was business as usual. Talk is cheap, and being courteous or civil to those peo-

pie who serve you is different than being thoughtful and forthcoming. It is my hope that the students of Duke will—more than crossing the racial lines that divide us—one day cross class lines as well. Wallace, Beverly, Anthony, Tracy, Curtis and Robert are my friends. I go to themfor advice, for help and even to gossip. I miss them when I don’t have time to eat at the Marketplace, and they worry if I don’t show up. I feel like a bitch when I only have time to pass by them and not say more, or not ask how they are doing. And I am scared that I will become one of “those girls”—those other ones—who dismisses Duke’s employee population. Every “thug” needs a lady... but he or she also needs a friend.

This does not, however, rule out a series of 30-second television spots lending support to her favorite fast food mega-chain of all time: McDonald’s. Here’s a sample of what you can expect to see on TV in the coming weeks: The advertisement opens to show our hero, RAMONA QUIMBY, AGE 38, declaring, “I think it’s time to make a few changes.” Immediately, we see her shaving a thick, unwieldy unibrow into a set of thick and unwieldy brows. Next, in a tasteful but provocative shot, she slips down a pair of parachute-size granny panties and pulls back up a much more sensible pair of double-enforced, taupe-colored support hose. In an inspiring musical montage, RAMONA will be shown partaking in various physical activities: salsa dancing, running in place, birthing a calf in the middle of an honest-to-God southwest cattle drive. Finally, in the last shot of the commercial, RAMONA will reach out and grab an allnew Chicken McNugget, now made exclusively with white meat (translation: the beaks and feet of only the healthiest and most stalwart poultry candidates). Dipping the McNugget into one of four choice sauces, RAMONA will raise it to her mouth and take a bite. After a series of satisfied chews, RAMONA will flash her winning toothless grin, and through bloody gums badly burned by ammonia and still flecked with little bits of sycamore bark, she’ll triumphantly declare, “I’m lovin’ it!”

Interesting side note: RAMONA QUIMBY, AGE 38 was once in a band called “Stalwart Poultry Candidates, but they kicked her out and changed their name to Hoobastank. ”
