Putting the issue on the line

NORFOLK, Va. Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors told reporters a story at Monday’s press conference about a time in the airport when Alana Beard threw away her gum, only for it to be retrieved by a young, and obviously devout, fan. The face of women’s basketball has risen to new heights, and on the road to the Final Four, two of its greatest products will collide when the Blue Devils (30-3) meet Minnesota (24-8) in Tuesday night’s Mideast regional final. Duke and Minnesota have never met on the court, but the Big 10 power should not be underestimated. The Blue Devils own a 7-6 record against Big 10 teams, and the Golden Gophers share Virginia and Purdue as common opponents. Minnesota defeated UVa and fell to the Boilermakers. In addition, the Golden Gophers’ 24-8 record is misleading. Minnesota was running without its two-time All-American point guard Lindsay Whalen for five weeks while the 5-foot-9 guard was out due to a hand injury. But during those SEE GOPHERS ON PAGE 15

panel's exasperation with the White House and Rice, the president's nation-

The chair and WASHINGTON vice chair of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks said Monday that they would ask Condoleezza Rice to testify under oath in any future questioning because of discrepancies between her statements and those made in sworn testimony by President George W. Bush’s former counterterrorism chief. "I would like to have her testimony under the penalty of perjury," said the commission's chair, Thomas Kean, the former Republican governor of New

al security adviser. Rice has refused to testify in public before the commission, even as she has granted numerous interviews about its investigation. The White House declined to respond to Kean's comments. One official who had been briefed on discussions between the White House and the commission said Monday that several options were under consideration that might lead to a compromise over Rice. The official declined to specify the options and said nothing had yet been decided.

Rice has granted one private interview to the 10-member, bipartisan commission and has requested another. But the White House has cited executive privilege in refusing to allow her to testify in public or under oath. That decision has led Democrats and other critics to accuse the White House of trying to hide embarrassing information about its failure to pre-empt the Sept. 11 attacks. "I think she should be under the same penalty as Richard Clarke," Kean said in an interview, referring to the former White House counterterrorism adSEE RICE ON PAGE 6

Tyco jury continues despite conflict by

COX NEWS SERVICE

NEW YORK The judge in the trial of two former Tyco executives refused to declare a mistrial Monday and ordered the fractured jury to continue deliberating despite media reports about a lone juror who appears to favor acquittal. State Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus met privately with the juror, who was named by two news organizations over the weekend. Some in the courtroom Friday reported seeing the woman make what appeared to be an “OK” gesture as she passed by defense lawyers on her way to the jury box. Lawyers said they did not see a gesture, which was portrayed in a sketch on the front of one New York newspaper.

“We can’t let what’s in the newspapers dictate what happens,” Obus said. He said the lone juror, No. 4, told him that “nothing that has happened will from her point of view prevent her from deliberating in good conscience with the other jurors.” Deliberations finished Monday without a verdict and were to continue for a ninth day Tuesday. The bizarre drama surrounding the juror is the latest development in the already extraordinary trial of former Tyco chief executive L. Dennis Kozlowski and former chief financial officer Mark Swartz.

Photojournalist Nobuko Oyabu presented her project, “Faces of Rape & Sexual Abuse Survivors” to an audience of 30 people Monday night as part ofSexual Assault Prevention Week. Oyabu, whose im-

petus came from her own rape three years ago, has photographed more than 70 victims of rape and sexual abuse as part of the project. During her speech and photograph slide-show, Oyabu presented statistics of sex crimes in the United States, but most of her presentation centered on her dual experience as a journalist and rape victim. Oyabu said she did not consider herself a potential rape victim until it happened to her. “I never believed rape would happen to me,” Oyabu said. “Rape belonged to someone else.” Everything changed the night of Aug. 9, 1999, when she was raped in her home by a former neighbor. While the man was caught three days later, the emotional scars the assault caused lingered for much longer, beginning with a phase of nearly

paralyzing grief.

“For the first two weeks I did not do anything. I just sat there and cried. Now that I look back, it was a time of grieving,” Oyabu said. “I was grieving for the part of me that was taken away by rape.” Oyabu said that her period of mourning was followed by a time of hard work, which at the time seemed to signal that she had put the rape behind her. However, she continued to suffer from depression, nightmares and flashbacks. It was not until she spoke out publicly about her experience in her church that she began to reconcile her pain. She also found comfort by taking her pastor’s suggestion and writing a letter to her attacker in jail. “Something took hold of me and I started writing. I dropped the letter off and felt I was set free,” Oyabu said. ‘Then I started laughing. I had no more nightmares or flashbacks. I needed to claim who I was

The project began when her friends, who were also survivors of sexual abuse or assaults, agreed to pose as the original subjects. After they agreed, Oyabu was flooded with requests from other former victims who wanted to be involved in the project. Oyabu said while she did not “appreciate that [rape] happened to [her],” she was happy with the ways in which she has responded, particularly through her

Oyabu is currently working on a project for the state of North Dakota, documenting the images of sexual abuse survivors in various Native American communities. The “Faces” project has been on tour throughout the United States and was on display in the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., in honor of the late Sen. Paul Wellstone of Minnesota.

Heilman outlines reasons for female discrimination by

Amanda Wheeler THE CHRONICLE

Madeline Heilman actually elicited gasps from her audience with data from her research on gender bias in the workplace, which showed that qualities indicating competence in men are seen as indications of “bitchiness” in women. Heilman, a psychology professor at New York University, delivered a lecture on “Prescription and Description: The Negative Effects of Gender Stereotypes on Women in Work Settings” to about 40 people —mostly women—Monday evening. Seeking to explain why women are so scarce in upper-level executive positions, Heilman referred to stereotypical ideas of what women are like and conceptions of what women should be like. Traditional characteristics attributed to women —such as being kind, understanding and cooperative—are generally considered oppositional to traditional male stereotypes of being aggressive, decisive and independent, Heilman said. The problem, she asserted, is that upper-level positions are thought to require the characteristics attributed to men, not women. Women are generally not considered to be competent enough to handle male-engendered executive positions, Heilman explained. “The information about a woman’s competence has to be very loud and very clear and undebatable,” she said. “There has to be very little ambiguity.” Heilman said this is a problem because the criteria used in evaluating managers is often subjective, taking into account qual-

ities like charisma and resilience. Heilman used data from her research to demonstrate that when women are clearly competent, they are also considered unlikable and are characterized as “conniving” or “untrustworthy”—adjectives Heilman categorized as the “bitchiness cluster.” “When women are successful and finally seen as competent, they are also seen as unlikable,” she said. “Not just unlikable, but downright awful.” Heilman stated that what is most interesting about these gender biases, which pervade both work and non-work settings, is how tenacious they are. Outlining cognitive ways of perpetuating stereotypes, such as ignoring what does not fit in with established preconceptions, Heilman noted that both men and women in her studies demonstrated the same biases in their responses. “It speaks to the power of these stereotypes, and how pervasive they are, and that people may direct them at themselves as well,” Heilman explained. Heilman concluded that in the workplace, women are in a double-bind. When they are not clearly successful, they are presumed to be incompetent. When they are clearly successful, they are unlikable. Junior Caitlin Hogan, co-president of the Duke Psychology Majors Union, which co-sponsored the lecture with the Women’s Center, said she chose Heilman as a speaker because she identified with her message. “I can just imagine being in that position; being a woman in an organization and having to deal with not being allowed

Sumati Gupta, a sophomore and double major in psychology and women’s studies, agreed that Heilman’s lecture encouraged her to not give in easily to traditional stereotypes in the workplace. “All of these stereotypes make me want to

reach for the highest goal possible,” Gupta said. “I want to aim for a job that any of my male Duke counterparts would, instead of putting kids into the picture. If anything, I would work to change the structure of the system instead of molding my goals around my family.” to

Court battle over federal abortion law begins partment’s case, said Congress used expert witnesses in formulating the law. ‘They had before them experts in the

Larry Neumeister THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The federal ban on a type of abortion was challenged in three courtrooms across the nation Monday as abortion-rights activists argued that the law is so broad it infringes on women’s basic right to choose. The Bush administration argued in defense of the law, the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, saying fetuses feel pain during such “inhumane” procedures. The law, signed in November by President George W. Bush, has not been enforced because judges in New York, Lincoln, Neb., and San Francisco agreed to hear evidence in three separate trials before deciding whether it violates the Constitution. The law is the first substantial limitation on abortion since the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision. The current cases also appear likely to reach the

high

court.

Attorney Stephen Hut Jr., speaking for the plaintiffs, argued that the law “in its stunning breadth would remove the range of abortion alternatives available to women in the second trimester.” He cautioned that the evidence will include “very raw stuff’ and that descriptions of surgery were “not for the faint of heart.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Lane described the law as an attempt to ban an “inhumane and gruesome procedure that causes pain to the fetus.” “Evidence at trial will illuminate that partial-birth abortion is never medically necessary and is an inhumane procedure that should be banned,” Lane said in front of U.S. District Judge Richard Casey in Manhattan. He said the law was specific in banning an abortion procedure that kills a “partially born fetus just inches from birth.” The lawsuits center on what opponents call “partialbirth” abortion and what doctors call “intact dilation and extraction.” In the procedure, generally performed in the second trimester and occasionally in the third, a fetus is partially delivered and its skull is punctured. An estimated 2,200 to, srooo such abortions are performed annually in the United States, out of 1.3 million total abortions. In Nebraska, a judge said he was troubled by an apparent lack of research done by Congress before passing the law. “I have to tell you, I don’t see that Congress spent much time [adequately looking at the issue],” U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf said. “What deference then do I give Congress and its findings?” Anthony Coppolino, who is presenting the Justice De...

field,” he said. In San Francisco, a chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood testified that she chooses methods of abortion that violate the new law because they are among the safest options. Asked by a government lawyer whether the fetus experiences pain during the procedures, Maureen Paul replied, “I have no idea what you mean.” Abortion-rights groups argue the law was written too broadly and vaguely, and in such away that threatens the health of some mothers. The groups say its language could criminalize more common types ofabortion and could be a step toward abolishing abortion. Supporters of the ban contend it applies only to a pro-

cedure done late in pregnancy that is never necessary to protect the health of the mother. The Partial-Birth Abortion Act carries a maximum two-year prison term for doctors convicted of performing the procedure. The Supreme Court struck down a similar Nebraska law almost four years ago because it lacked an exception for procedures done to preserve a woman’s health. Anticipating this problem, Congress declared that “a partial birth abortion is never necessary to preserve the health of a woman” and is “outside the standard of medical care.” The abortion-rights groups say doctors may find themselves with no good alternative to the banned procedure to protect a woman’s life or health if problems develop. The American Medical Association does not encourage use of the procedure but says it should not be banned.

viser who testified to the panel last week that the Bush administration had not paid sufficient attention to the threat from al Qaeda before Sept. 11, 2001. Congressional Republican leaders have said that Clarke lied under oath in describing the Bush administration's counterterrorism record and requested that previous Congressional testimony by him be declassified. In a private interview in February with several members of the commission, Rice was not required to be under oath, and panel officials said that no transcript was made of the four-hour conversation. The commission has required all witnesses testifying at public hearings to be sworn in, opening them to perjury charges if they are found to be lying, while all but a handful of the hundreds of witnesses questioned behind closed doors have not been sworn in. In separate interviews, Kean and the panel's vice chair, Lee Hamilton, a former Democratic House member from Indiana, said they would continue to press for Rice to testify under oath in public. But they said that if the White House continued to refuse to have her answer questions at a public hearing, any new private interviews with Rice should be conducted under new ground rules, with the national security adviser placed under oath and a transcription made. Kean and Hamilton said that if the White House agreed, they were ready to declassify and make public the notes taken by commissioners when they interviewed Rice on Feb. 7. The transcripts of approximately 15 hours of private questioning of Clarke that was conducted by the commission be-

Nearly six months of testimony has been peppered with descriptions of the executives’ lavish lifestyles, including Kozlowski spending $2 million on a Mediterranean Roman-themed birthday party for his wife and $6,000 on a shower curtain for a maid’s bathroom. Kozlowski and Swartz each face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on multiple counts of grand larceny, falsifying business records and violating state business laws. Thursday, less than a week into deliberations, the jurors sent a series of notes to the judge describing a descent into chaos. “The atmosphere in the jury room has turned poisonous,” one note said. “One member has stopped deliberating in good faith. Many incendiary accusations have been exchanged that we believe have compromised the fairness of the process.” A note from that one member sent 20 minutes later read; “There is reason to believe that one or more jurors do not have an open mind as to the possibility of the defendants’ innocence.” Despite the judge refusing defense demands for a mistrial and urging calm, the jury remained conflicted a day later, saying in a note that it “has ceased to be able to conduct respectful, open-minded, goodfaith deliberations.” Monday, defense attorney Stephen Kaufman held up the Saturday edition of the New York Post, which displayed a sketch of juror No. 4 making an “OK” sign with the headline “Ms. Trial.” The paper gave her name, calling the 79-yearold woman the “holdout granny.” The ...

fore last week's hearing would also be made public. "My tendency is to say that everything should be made public," Kean said. There were signs throughout the day Monday of a debate within the administration over whether to hold fast to the principle of not allowing White House aides to testify before Congress or to seek a deal that would allow Rice to appear before the commission. White House officials said Rice herself was looking for ways she could be permitted to respond to the commission, despite the reservations of the White House counsel's office and the potential difficulty of explaining why the administration was reversing course on what it had made a matter of principle. One outside adviser to the White House said that Bush's political staff was inclined to compromise on Rice's testimony, judging the political costs of continuing to fight in the midst of a tight re-election campaign to outweigh any cost from showing flexibility on the principle. "It's fair to say many of the senior political advisers understand the principle but have a more pragmatic view," said the adviser, who insisted on anonymity, saying he wanted to keep his role behind the scenes. This adviser said that Karl Rove, Bush's senior adviser and political strategist, wanted to move the election away from questions like "Were there intelligence failures?" and to put the focus instead on which candidate could better protect against any future efforts by terrorists to attack the United States. "If we're going to have a discussion about W.M.D. and intelligence failures and Osama bin Laden, that's not an election George W. Bush wins," the adviser said. "If it's about who keeps you safer, that's the ground we want to be on."

Wall Street Journal’s Web site also identified her by name. Despite the reports, it’s unclear whether the juror intended to make a gesture. In court Monday, she repeatedly brushed at her hair with crooked fingers. No rule prevents the media from identifying sitting jurors, but traditionally news organizations do not name them. Kaufman said the media was putting unfair pressure on the juror and it’s likely none of the jury could have avoided the news coverage. ‘What was a poisonous atmosphere Thursday must now be lethal,” he said. He added that the description of “the alleged gesture looked nothing like what was depicted in the Post.” Assistant District Attorney Marc Scholl argued that it was only speculation the jury had violated the judge’s instructions to avoid media coverage of the trial. Judge Obus said “it would be inappropriate to declare a mistrial when all 12 jurors, who have devoted six months of their lives to this trial, are prepared to continue.” The judge added that in his meeting with the lone juror “she volunteered more than she was asked.” He described her as “a very independent woman.” The jury went back to work after the judge’s ruling, sending out a note asking for clarification of a grand larceny charge. Legal experts say the jury’s apparent degree of animosity is unusual, and the judge may resort to a so-called Allen or “dynamite” charge, strongly urging the jurors to try harder to agree. Tyco, which makes medical and electronics supplies and owns the ADT home security company, has about $36 billion in annual revenue and 270,000 employees. The company has its operations headquarters in West Windsor, N.J., but is based Bermuda.

are merely one social outlet on campus. Most fraternity parties are not large in size but provide an alternate option once other parties have died down. “They’re mostly a late night thing—unless you’re in one,” said senior Whitney Bull. Less than 6 percent of female students are in sororities; 10 percent of men are in fraternities. The fraternities have houses off campus on streets adjacent to the residential colleges, but there is no central oversight system. “I wouldn’t trade our autonomy for university housing,” Howie Han, president of Sigma Chi, said. Han also noted that the fraternity party scene is well-complemented by other organizations on campus, such as cultural centers and a cappella groups. Despite the plethora ofactivities at Yale, students share Duke students’ complaints about spending nights alone in their beds and hooking up occasionally. “No one dates here,” sophomore Gita Subramony said, echoing a common sentiment. The Yale College Council, the student government, has recendy created a Yale version of Friendster to help students find each other. The website started in mid-February and most undergraduates have profiles on it, but few say they have actually made many new connections through it. Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of Yale social life is the secret societies. Membership in these organizations, which started in the 1800s when fraternities were first forced off campus, is extended to accomplished Yalies by invitation only during junior year. The societies are exclusive social networks of alumni and campus leaders. Most of the time they do not affect underclassmen, but when juniors are getting selected or “tapped” into them, some people become intensely competitive about joining the most prestigious one. “Most people are pretty relaxed about it,” junior Yaw Anim said, “but some juniors take it too far.” Once upperclassmen—primarily seniors—join societies, they spend about half their social time with the groups and the rest with friends in bars around campus. Some students likened the societies to fraternities at other schools; others decried

Kegs on the quad? Yale students participate in a kegs stand. them as elitist organizations that segregate the social scene. Just like at Duke, much of Yale’s social scene lies off campus, especially for upperclassmen. More than a dozen bars are nestled into the streets between the colleges, as close as any academic building. Since the campus is urban, few students have cars and driving drunk to off-campus locations is oflittle concern. New Haven used to be an easy place to go bar hopping underage, but the past few years have seen a crackdown on underage drinking by the city of New Haven. Naples —a traditional beer and pizza joint famous for never carding—lost its liquor license temporarily for serving minors three years ago. But upperclassmen still flock to traditional New Haven venues, like Toad’s the famed music club where senior Alix Epstein says, “literally every senior goes on Saturday nights.” Seniors say they rarely attend parties on campus because they’re full of freshmen. The whole class flocks to the same few pubs, creating the senior bar experience that is the same at almost every college. So by the time Yalies are ready to graduate, their Thursday nights at Rudy’s, the classic Yale senior bar, feel a lot like Duke’s Thursday nights at Satisfaction’s. —

PUTALLAZ from page 1 the post with a solid base of knowledge about Duke and about TIP in particular a quality that helped Putallaz emerge as a serious candidate. “What made her stand out as a frontrunner was this: her long knowledge of Duke and the TIP program [and] her articulation of a vision for TlP’s future that included strengthening the research arm of TIP and better integrating it into the ongoing initiatives of the [Program in Education] the Center for Child and Family Policy and the psychology department,” Ruderman wrote in an e-mail. Putallaz said two of her primary goals would be to connect TIP more integrally to the rest of the University and to make the program more visible both within Duke and nationally. “One thing I really want to do is make sure more undergraduates and graduate students get involved,” Putallaz said. “One of Duke’s primary functions is research. TIP can play a more substantial role in that mission.” She noted that there are diverse research opportunities involving TIP, including studies on gifted education, intelligence, creativity and leadership. She added that research opportunities for students and faculty provide an avenue by which TIP can connect to other units on campus. Putallaz, also director of undergraduate studies for the psychology department, specializes in research focusing on children’s peer relationships and how that predicts outcomes later in life. Ruderman noted that Putallaz’s research, though not specifically in education for gifted students, is in a related field. “She has a great interest in childhood and young adult education and psychology —

and has a lot of enthusiasm for the job,” Provost Peter Lange said. “So it’s a combination of skill plus interest that qualifies her to take over.” Putallaz also serves on the advisory boards for the Program in Education and is a member of the Spencer Foundation Faculty, a group of interdisciplinary educational research scholars at Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She said she was particularly excited to become TlP’s executive director for the opportunities it will afford her to “weigh in on policy issues that are related to gifted children.” Ruderman noted that Putallaz was not on the first list of candidates to take over the TIP directorship; in fact, she was originally a member of the search committee. “After we hosted a disappointing candidate, someone else on the committee suggested that we might have had the right candidate in our midst the whole time,” Ruderman wrote. “[Putallaz] was intrigued by the opportunity and decided to apply.” TIP was founded in 1980 by former Provost William Bevan, after whom the program’s new home on Buchanan Boulevard will soon be named. The search for a new leader began after the program’s previous executive director, Steven Pfeiffer, stepped down at the end of last summer. Scott Greenwood, TIP director of operations, has served as interim director. ‘TIP has been an extremely strong unit at Duke since its inception,” Ruderman wrote. “It is a premier player in the world of gifted education and has made a huge difference in countless lives through its excellently managed and very creative programs.” Ruderman said she expects Putallaz will be able to make an already strong staff even stronger. “She will forge linkages not only within the organization but within Duke as a whole,” she wrote. “She is a very good facilitator and a person of the highest integrity, energy and dedication.”

PRESIDENT

ANTHONY VITARELLI

PASHA MADJDI It’s about time DSG starts doing things you care about. We can talk about DSG restructuring all we want, but what matters isn’t fixing DSG, it’s helping students. I’m running because I care about these problems and under my leadership, DSG will fix them: Textbooks: I’ll save students money by making DSG organize a non-profit used textbook your book to the bookstore for $5, let DSG match you up with someone who needs your book. Simple,easy,save you money.

exchange. Instead of selling

Central Campus Quiet Hours: I will offer alternatives to 24-7 quiet hours such as limited noise hours for Friday and Saturday nights or designated noisy buildings on weekends. Freshman MealPlan: We need to offer alternatives to mandatory breakfasts (e.g. using points for a la carte meals or replacing breakfasts with Friday and Saturday dinners) until we have a compromise students like. Social Scene:The Old Duke Party was my idea. 1) Create staff ofDSG party monitors that groups can hire to host their parties for free. 2) Use DSG money to support on-campus events that promote racial integration. Free Legal Counsel: UNC has it why not us? Work with the Law School to create a volunteer legal team to offer pro bono help for students accused of judicial violations or charged with crimes in Durham. -

Eating Disorders: All year I will promote the work of the Women’s Centerand CAPS. The information on how to help your friends is out there. Now we need a student leader to bring it to the student body. When you vote, think about how next year will be different. What will affect you? Will you care about DSG? If I’m President, DSG will affect you. I’m going to change this campus and you’re going to feel it.

I want to take this space to discuss how I plan on ensuring that when key decisions are made at this University, your voice counts. Thank you for reading. First, the role of the DSG President must change. The President should not be a micromanager of numerous small projects but a provider of a broad vision for the organization and the university. He should be the public face of the study body. I plan on holding office hours on the BC walkway and in the Marketplace for four hours each week to meet with students. Additionally, I’ll be living on campus, which three of the last four Presidents have not done. I will be accessible, approachable, and compassionate. Students need to know that they have someone in their comer when there’s a problem they need addressed. Second, DSG will be more transparent and accountable to the student body than ever before. My first action will be to amend the attendance policy. If a Senator misses two meetings,they’re out. I’ll find someone else who cares more about improving student life. Also, next year,every student on campus will be assigned a DSG legislator. You will be able to go online, login, and see who your DSG senator is and how to contact them. More importantly though,you’ll be able to see their votes on every piece of legislation and their attendance at every general body and committee meeting. These changes will ensure that you are represented by a dedicated group of students that sincerely cares about championing yourviews. This year. Campus Council has demonstrated the ability to deeply explore the narrow policy jurisdiction of residence life. In contrast, DSG has been unable to address even superficial concerns across their broad spectrum of campus issues. I intend to bring my experience and vision from CC to shape policies that can dramatically improve undergraduate student life at Duke. I look forward to the challenge of addressing this great range ofissues and hope that I can earn your support.

EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT

RUSS FERGUSON

ELIZABETH LADNER

I’m Russ Ferguson and I’m running for DSG Executive Vice President because I believe that through this position I can make a difference at Duke. I have a range of experience across campus, including all three major bodies: DSG,Campus Council,and the Union. I am also the logistics chair for Relay for Life and the undergraduate representative on the President’s Advisory Council on Resources. lam also active in the Greek community, where I am the Vice President and Rush Chair of my fraternity and the IFC Vice President of Community Interaction. I believe that the Executive Vice President, who sets the DSG agenda, is in a position to get things done. Not only that,but the Executive Vice President workswith thecommittee Vice Presidents and the Senate in accomplishing projects. I think that the first semester of every year is a slow one, with very little getting accomplished in DSG. This problem can be fixed by giving new Senators ideas of things they can do to make Duke a better place and by helping them find the right people to talk to, the right places to go for funding, and the right way to implement projects. For example, I would like to see computers in the Bryan Centerand Loading and Unloading zones on campus first semester next year. These are feasible, short-term goals. Campus safety has clearly become a bigger issue in light of recent events. Let’s form a student committee to work with police in establishing patrols along paths frequently traveled by students,includingoff-campus fraternity houses and Ninth-street establishments once Duke Police start patrolling off East Campus. These are a few ideas among many, which I have the experience and knowledge to implement. I hope you will visit my website for more details on my experience and platform (www.duke.edu/~trf3), and please send me your concerns and suggestions via the provided form. I hope that next year a similar form is available to you on the DSG website so the Executive Vice President can address your concerns as they come up throughout the year.

“Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.” Whereas the other VP positions focus on policy initiatives for the student body, the role of Executive VP centers upon the apparatus needed to effectively implement such initiatives. Designed to handle internal issues ranging from moderating between executive and legislative interests to actively arranging and lobbying for the administration’s cooperation, the EVP sets the tone of the Senate while ensuring DSG’s effectiveness. As DSG President Pro-Tempore (the assistant to the EVP) for the past two years, I have assumed the EVP role during several meetings and have been privy to many internal issues and their resolutions. At the same time, my position did not afford me an opportunity to directly formulate and enact more effective measures. DSG does not need to reinvent the same wheel year after year,but rather have an EVP with a vast knowledge of the organization’s structure and its past in order to create a stronger DSG that works as a positive influence for the student body. Succinctly put, my goals include 1) splitting the EVP into two roles- executive and legislative (this will resolve DSG agenda-making conflicts while providing a system ofchecks so that more legislation will originate from the student body itself); 2) creating a more coherent budgeting structure to ensure continuity between DSG administrations so that its money is tracked and utilized for the students; and 3) analyzing and effectively advertising student positions through DSG (the EVP, by fostering better communication and providing structural mechanisms to partake in the university, can greatly increase the effectiveroles students can use to enact change). Understanding DSG’s past, I know it’s not where it could be. As Pro-Tempore, I’ve seen the methods used by successive administrations and therefore know what needs to be done to improve. I’ve learned that having a knowledgeable EVP is the most important factor in creatingchange that lasts. I want to make such change a

PRISCILLA MPASI

ANDREW WISNEWSKI

Hi my name is Priscilla Mpasi, a student at Duke University and I am running for the office of Executive Vice President. By introducing myself to you all, I have taken the first step to being an effective student leader on campus. Not only is it important for an elected representative to have a thorough understanding of the organization,but it is also important for us to have, an understanding of the students in order to make a connection with those who elect us. My mission is to make DSG a more VISIBLE and APPROACHABLE -

organization. While I have the DSG experience,my on-going involvement on campus has really allowed me to distinguish myself in this campaign. As a student trainer, involvement in Project BUILD, the Catholic Student Center and BSA Programs, I have made personal connections and forged strong friendships with those involved in athletics,community service,cultural groups and Greek life. Interacting with such diverse personalities has allowed me to become a student leader that you can better relate to and develop a strong sense the major issues that you and I both experience on campus today: potholes on Alexander, watery lettuce at the Marketplace, no parking anywhere at anytime,parking tickets, low food points, evilness of C2K (I STILL need an AL- any suggestions?) and of course no social life on campus. In order for someone to be a student leader,it is important for one to actually BE A STUDENT. By electing one of your own to DSG, you are making a definitive statement that you want yourvoices to be heard. Well I can hear you loud and clear. I want Priscilla to be elected too. Thanks my amazing campaign manager MalikBurnett, my roommates and best friends Andi Miller and Latricia Barksdale, my biggest supporter Zach Pfanstiel, the Duke football team for teaching me the true meaning of guts and dedication (bowl gamehere we come!) and of course a big thanks to all the students who vote to put me into office tomorrow. Thanks for a great week. See you on the Quad!

VICE PRESIDENT FOR FACILITIES

reality.

The position ofExecutive Vice-President requires persistence, organization, and experience. Possessing these qualities, I will make a successful and efficient EVP of Duke Student Government. As EVP, I will bring accountability and efficacy back to student government. To’do so, assertive management is demanded. I plan to manage the various committees by holding each committee and VP accountable to their goals and directives. Having been a previous vice-president, I understand how difficult it becomes to manage an agenda and maintain a healthy student life. Consistency needs to be upheld so goals are accomplished. I pledge to attend at least one vice-presidential committee meeting a week in order to keep abreast of committee developments. Items like the continuing development ofPerkins, the changes in Student Health, providing a safe environment, and forging a communicative link between undergraduates and graduates are all important factors on the Duke Student forefront next year. My job is to provide enough guidance and resourcefulness to guarantee that DSG addresses these issues to thebest of their ability. Furthermore, transparency needs to be strengthened between DSG and the student body. A simple and feasible solution is to post DSG committee meetings online in order to constantly inform students what their representatives are working to achieve. This gives students the opportunity to consult members about issues that they feel are pertinent as well as issues that DSG does not currently address. Finally, the EVP must affirm order and structure when presiding over a more than 40-member General Body. As reportedby the Chronicle, GeneralBody meetings often fall victim to senseless commotion. This unnecessary turmoil can easily be remedied with structured control and management. With experience in dealing with bureaucratic and often tedious nature of student government, an understanding of the necessity for conciseness in presentation, and a dedication to effectiveness, I believe that I am the ideal candidate to become DSG’s next Executive Vice-President.

ATHLETICS

JESSE LONGORIA The role of the F&A committee is to represent student interests and produce tangible results to improve the overall quality oflife of Duke’s student body. As a current member of the F&A committee, I understand the commitment required to be a vice president who directs the committee towards realistic and valuable objectives while maintaining dialog with the Duke community to confront new concerns. My experience as the President of the Class of 2006 has provided me with the capabilities required to represent a very diverse student body on a wide range of issues. The F&A committee next year must ensure that it is the university’s priority to protect the safety of its most valuable resource—its students. As planning and construction on campus continues, the committee must advocate student interests to the administration to ensure that the continued development of campus does not interfere with the quality of campus life at Duke. I intend to introduce new initiatives that, although small, will have a large impact on student life. Initiatives: Enhance communication between DSG and student groups concerning campus safety. Central Campus development, dining,as well as the many other campus services our campus provides Card readers for residential bathrooms, increase marked security presence in parking areas To improve East Campus Athletics facilities Computer Cluster and E-print station in the Bryan Center The upcoming year is a very important time in the development of our campus. Every voice deserves to be heard as the plans are made for the future of the university. •

BRANDON J. GOODWIN

ADAM KATZ

Hi, my name is Brandon Goodwin and I am the only candidate running for VP of Student Affairs with two years of DSG experience and the only candidate with experience on the Student Affairs committee. I have served as class Vice President for 2 years,and currently serve as IFC VP of Chapter Services My platform has been labeled “comprehensive and ambitious” and I’d like to share it with you... 1. CAMPUS SAFETY: My agenda focuses mainly on improving the breadth of our safety measures on campus. I don’t just talk about safety issues; I get them done. On Wednesday night, 1 co-drafted a unanimously passed resolution that ensures the sustained funding for the Blue Zone safe ride program. I also want to enforce the University lighting standard to help reduce darkly lit quads and areas of all of our campuses. Lastly, I want to create whatj call the SAFE TEAM. (Student Advisory and Facilitated Enforcement), a group of students from every campus and class, to put a watchful eye on the DUPD. 2. STUDENT HEALTH: I will finally institute an online appointment site for students to fill out all necessary paperwork from the comfort of their dorm room. I also want to make CAPS more accessible by adding an online,professionally advised support group for students to feel more comfortable approaching psychological services. 3. STUDENT SPACE: With projects such as the West Campus Unionand Campus Village in planning, it is important that Student Affairs fights for student groups to receive the space they need to adequately conduct business. At the same time, we need to make the BC a place to “hang out” and increase student gathering space. It’s also important that we utilize the influx of DSG funding ($ 140 JOOO) for more on campus cultural and social events. It is far too expensive for smaller organizations to host events on campus and we need to offset the high costs to encourage the on campus social scene to be strong once again. I hope you will support me on Tuesday! Make it a Good win for Student Affairs.

DSG needs a strong Vice President of Student Affairs who will stand up for students’ rights and take the initiative to accomplish necessary changes at Duke. Presently, DSG garners meager support from the student body. Each year, people complain about DSG showing little results. Since DSG is a lobbying institution, the faith of the students proves vital. Without student support, any legislation that is placed on an administrator’s desk is easily brushed aside. We have seen this already began to happen with the recent student feehike. Essentially, DSG is in a state of peril. A major overhaul must occur soon. 1 plan to institute a new communication structure that will not only revitalize student support and participation, but also educateinform students of DSG’s activity. Face it, theaverage student here has little to no clue about the major issues affecting campus or what DSG is doing. This lack of knowledge renders DSG ineffective and fosters a downward spiral in the value of our unified voice. To remedy this quandary, a weekly Chronicle insert about what DSG is doing would make a world of difference. The student portal and student affairs forums must be employed and fervently promoted as a place where students may voice their concerns to DSG. Executives and Senators should be readily accessible and accountable. If I am not doing a good job,it should be easy for you to tell me how to change. I want to revitalize the campus social atmosphere and, in turn,promote a safer campus. We need police officers to patrol campus so we can be out after dark. How many times do you see multiple police officers at our parties, yet none patrolling on foot after dark? The DUPD’s priorities need to be reevaluated through dialogue with students. I believe that an increased police presence and robust on-campus social scene can coexist and reinforce one another. If you care about your school, vote for me; I promise change.

VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

•

MARK MIDDAUGH My name is Mark Middaugh,and I am thebest candidate for DSG Vice-President of Student Affairs. I have the experience and ideas necessary tomake DSG achieve tangibleresults for students, I served as a senator on DSG this year,and I agree with the criticisms thatDSG is an ineffective organization. DSG needs to work to restructure,eliminate bureaucracy.and make its members more accountable to their constituents. We need to pump life into DSG by completing concrete projects that immediately improve Duke Student life. First, I want to improve the Student Health system. I think we should be able to have onlineappointments. 1 want to have an MD on East. We need to get free parking in front of the Student Health center. We need better access toreservable spacesaround campus. 1 think students shouldbe able to book spaces onlineand see an onlinecalendar ofavailable spaces. The current paper system is antiquated and not befitting of an organization that justreceived a $6001300 budget hike. I also think the new student center needs tobe designed through a more open dialogue with students,and the administrationneeds to be more transparent about decision-making in this -

momentous project. We deserve to understand what’s happening in GreekLife. We’re in a time ofimmense transition right now, and Greeks and Selectivesneed to be involved in the future planning of a “quad-based” system.

Finally, the sobering events oflast weekenddemonstrated the importance of improving campus safety. Theresponse of the administration to sexual assault has been detestable. Merely telling us to walk in groups and be careful is completely inadequate. Wehave had enoughcatalyzing incidents on this campus. What we need now is precise action. The DUPD cannot expandolf-campus until it meets on-campus safety concerns, whichit has not beenable to do with its current staff. If elected, I want to make sure that short-range problem solving and long-rangeplanning are correspondent with your needs. I want to make DSG work for you as soon as possible.

DAVID FIEDLER

CHRISTOPHER CHIN In the upcoming school year, there are many pressing AcademicAffairs issues that we need to address. And by ‘we’, Ixlon’t mean ten students around a table, or even DSG; 1 mean everyone in our Duke community; students, faculty, and administration. We need to talk about course evaluations. If you’ve been on ACES recently, you might be asking, “Where are the course evaluations?” We have to make it clear to our professors that we expect their course evaluations to be onlinewhen we’re choosing our classes, including Pratt. We need to talk about the Pre-Major Advising system, and why it fails a good number of underclassmen. It must be emphasized to junior faculty and potential hires that this university places a high value on advising its undergraduates, that we expect the faculty who are teaching our classes to also be interacting with us outside the classroom. We need to talk seriously about creating Asian and Latino American Studies, which has been bogged down in the sea of bureaucracy. The students who have worked hard in lobbying the administration for support deserve an act of commitment in return. We need to talk about repealing the Curriculum 2000 foreign language requirement for students already fluent in a second language. Our romance language departments are being strained while a lot of students face an unnecessary burden on top of everything else they have to do to fill the matrix. I hope to impress upon you that lam the most qualified candidate for the position, being the only candidate to have served on the AcademicAffairs committee for two years, in addition to other University committees such as the University Library Council and the Student Dining Advisory committee. I believe the ability to draw from these experiences, and apply them to a Duke Student Government whose role is constandy being redefined, is invaluable. I am prepared to continue fighting for student interests, and I look forward to earning your trust and support. Thank you for your time and consideration.

CHASE JOHNSON Students pay $4O (300 tobe consumers of knowledge. As a student body we need todemandacademic changes thatwill enhance our education. Instead we passively acquire knowledge without demanding new courses,professors, or methods. This situation is not acceptable.As theDSG VP ofAcademic affaire I will erase the historic tack ofDSG productivity, and vigorously pursue aresult-focused, student program. Duke

Agenda:

Mandate professorparticipation in online evaluations. Professors are ultimatelyresponsible to teachstudents, andtheir performance needs to be rated andviewed by the student body without exception. Create an American Studies Program.A strong demand exists for an interdisciplinary program encompassing,Asian, Latino,and Native-American studies programs as well asother applicable departments. Every student should take two pass/fail courses outside of their majotfs). Students want to add breadth to their knowledge, andtheir feel restricted by their majors and GPAs. Mandating two pass/fail courses encouragesstudents to venture into new academic arenas without implicationsupon GPA or workload, These two courses will count towards C2K. Remedy pre-majoradvising by facilitating furthercommunication between departments and pre-major advisors, and linking student interest to advisorexpertise more clearly. Eliminate academicbias in theclassroom through the implementationof a student and faculty panel to hear grievances. My Leadership Experience: Leadershipbased on DSG experience perpetuates the lack of trust thatDuke studentshave forstudent government. My extensive leadership training and experience creates a functional leadershipbackground that will help me tobreak the trendof a disconnectedand inefficient DSG. Getting things done; Productivity eludes DSG because they neither mobilize students nor demand results from administrators. I understand that two avenues of change exist on this campus.First, students need to feelconnected to DSG,and motivatedabout the changes DSG is making. Second, theadministration needs tobe pressed harder to elicit change. •

My fellow Duke students, Before you go to the polls today and select a candidateI want you tothink veiy carefully about what you are selecting. You are selecting a representative.. .one who will have a marked impacton yourway oflife here at Duke. It is imperative that you give careful consideration to thisandchoose as yourrepresentative a person whois not only administratively talented, but has the right ideals. I submit to you that 1, David Fiedler, am that candidate. My plan for the upcoming yearis headlined by a drive to forwardthe initiative of credit for 3 or more labhours per week. The rationale behind theinitiative lies in the simple argument thatofficialhours arc allotted at specific times forlab classes. Therationale for theinitiative disregards any argument towards discrepancies in workloads due to the argument's ambiguous nature. My second position advocates a pass/fail first semester. Currently for freshmen,it is difficult enough to acclimate to theradical changes posed by a collegiate lifestyle. With the added pressures of overbearinggrades, the circumstances become even more agitated. Continuing with our current system only propagates the same, “throw you in the pool and expect you to swim”, mentality. Withtime and effort, this policy may prove tofurther Duke as an appealing university for matriculating freshman in which they may explore all of those extra-curricularactivities which exist at Duke that manyhave neverhad a chance to explore within four years. A third position of mine advocates making all course evaluations available to students selecting courses on ACES. As astudent of Duke University, you ate not only entitled to take those courses which you wish to take but as wellhave aright to be taught in a sound fashion. The current system provides no warning to students ofpoor professors who opted out of their evaluation. The changes will save victimized students

timeand countlesshours of dissatisfaction. These three positions only represent some ofmy perspectives on change. My other positions come from you,the Duke student body. You have theright,rather,the obligation to change those practices in the current system thatyou feel present blatant injustices toour status as not just as any type of students, but Duke students. I leave this decisionwith you.

MEGAN SMITH Hi, my name is Megan Smith and I’m a freshman from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have served for a year on the Academic Affairs committee and have been an active participant in DSG, serving as the freshman class whip and an enthusiastic legislator. Over the course of this year, I initiated the preceptorial program—mini-courses with the intention of encouraging student-faculty interaction —and worked with my vice president to pass a resolution regarding thereformation of the Pre-Major Advising Center. My experience as a legislator has provided me with a strong background in the workings of DSG, something essential to serving as a committed executive. As the Vice President of Academic Affairs, I would like to build stronger commitments to resources within the Duke community that can environment surrounding students at Duke. I intend to emphasize communication -aftenhance the academicOIT, working towards objectives like wireless networking in the dorms and more and interaction with efficient computer clusters. Further, 1 plan to work closer with the Chronicle to promote publicity that will allow the legislature to be more accountable to the student body. I want to continue building the pre-majoradvising program into a valuableresource for the undergraduates.I aim to continue programs like preceptorials and hold the administration to its goals of faculty-student interaction. Also, I want to underscore theneed for diversification of faculty within academic departments. Most importantly, I want to use my experience and influence to communicate with administrators within the university to take action—to end apathy towards the students and promote change within the university that will improve the quality of life for all of the Duke community.

VICE PRESIDENT FOR COMMUNITY INTERACTION •VICE PRESIDENT FOR COMMUNITY INTERACTION -VICE PRESIDENT FOR COMMUNITY INTERACTION

ANTHONY COLLINS I am Anthony Collins and I’m the best candidate for the office of Vice President for Community Interaction. If elected,! will facilitate increased face-to-face dialogue among student groups. I will increase collaborativeefforts and co-sponsoredevents especially among groups with competing interests. I will work with theadministrationand otherDSG committees to develop and improve resources likethe new web portal that can potentially connect undeigraduates,alumni,and graduate students. I will regularly consultand aid each student group, each fiatemity, sorority,culturalorganization,and political organization because they are theanchors of our community. This it will not happen if I am not elected. I’m tirebest candidatebecause I understand thatDuke is not only a community in itself, but it is also part of a larger community. Therefore, we must not only focus on Duke but also on Durham. In other words, we must fosterstudent interaction with Durham. This is why I favor forging a new relationship with the Office of Community Affairs. With their help and the help of the CSC, wecan develop innovative ways touse Duke students for the benefitof Durham. Some argue thatwe need to focus on Duke issues before we can tackle Durham issues. Butsomewhere I read thatjustice too long delayed is justice denied. I’m thebest candidatebecause lam the most experienced. I possess the most knowledge of Dutham and its issues and I’m the only one who has stated as well as demonstrated a commitment to Durham. I’m the only onecurrently elected to DSG arid the only one to have served on this committee. I know where this committee has been so I know where it is going. Join me in saying that this is the time forprogress not regress. This is the time forcollective leadership. lam not focused on what I can do for you; lam focused on what we,together,can do for our community. Please vote for the platform ofreform andreconciliationrather than regression and retreat.

KIRSTIN HOPKINS My name is Kirstin Hopkins and I am a juniorrunning for Vice-Presidentof Community Interaction. 1 have two main goals for the Community Interaction Committee for 2004-2005. The primary focus of my agenda is a new way of utilizing the Inter-Community Council (a group of major student leaders on campus including Greek, cultural and other student representation) to be an effective, beneficial, and supportive sounding board. I view this board as a diverse group with potentially different perspectives on the massive social and physical transitioning of our campus,

the two main issues that seem to be at the forefront of discussion. 1 will bring consistency and efficiency to this council increasing thcv ability of DSG as a whole to work on behalf of the students. My other primary focusis to create substantial undergraduate/graduaterelations with the development of a comprehensive online database connecting students for academics, career planning, research, and even life mentoring. The graduate body at Duke is a vibrant untapped resource that we must take advantage to utilize all this University can offer, we justneed the mechanism. While I do have small projects that 1 would like to accomplish if elected, my focus will be implementing these two key components of ray agenda. While I will encourage senators to get involved in Duke-Durham relations, this is not my primary focus. Our intimate circles of undergraduatecommunication, and university communication are not up to standards, and therefore there is need forintense and immediate focus on these two spheres. 1 have learned through not only my DSG experience, but my student life experience for the past three years that if these two improvements are not made, DSG and the campus as a whole will remain ineffective, uncommunicative, and ultimately be forced to bend to whims of the administration.

Ted Maim One Mann’s Opinion

Some notes

from the A-T-L

It was a thrilling weekend in Atlanta, as Duke survived two of its toughest tests of the season to advance to the Final Four. A few thoughts from 1-85: JJ. Redick, as good as he is, may be extremely overrated, while Daniel Ewing might be the most underrated player in the country. Before I get hate mail from the Redick fan club of America, let me point out that I’m not saying the Virginia native is not a valuable player, because he most certainly is; I’m merely saying that his stature is a bit outof-whack with his ability, especially when you stack him up against his extremely talented but highly under-appreciated co-shooting guard, Ewing. I applaud Redick for the great strides he’s made in his all-around game, but the fact remains that he’s essentially a one-trick pony. He’s worked hard to turn himself into a mediocre defender, a decent passer and a solid rebounder, but JJ. Redick plays for Duke and not Valparaiso solely because he has one of the most deadly three-point shots in the country. Problem is, Ewing’s been an even better shooter: The junior led the Blue Devils in three-point shooting at 41.4 percent, while Redick shot 40.3 percent from beyond the arc. It makes you wonder if Ewing hoisted up as many shots a game as Redick, which of the two would lead the team in scoring and earn second-team All-ACC honors? Now take into account the fact that Ewing often draws the opponents’ top scorer-in the ACC, which meant guarding the likes of Rashad McCants, Tim Pickett, BJ. Elder and Justin Gray, while Redick usually guards the weakest link. This weekend in Atlanta, for instance, Ewing teamed up with Duhon to pester the star guard tandems of Illinois (Dee Brown and Deron Williams) and Xavier (Lionel Chalmers and Remain Sato). Meanwhile, Redick fared quite nicely on his men, but in the Xavier game when he found himself isolated against Sato or Chalmers, he was often left wondering who just blew past him. Last but not least, you’ve got to love the way Ewing just quietly goes about his business, doing what he can to help the Blue Devils, whereas Redick may be one of the most disliked players in the ACC for his trash-talking and on-court arrogance. Duke is Duke because it wins and wins with class, and Redick running downcourt screaming, with his hand frozen in a follow through motion after hitting a three-pointer, only hinders that image. Redick is a very valuable player, and his long-range shot can change the course of a game. But if I’m coaching the Blue Devils and I have to choose between Redick and SEE ATL ON PAGE 18

‘Baby Shaq’ poses big threat for Blue Devils by

Shuger-Colvin Jesse THE CHRONICLE

NORFOLK, Va. Janel McCarville’s nickname is derived from Shaquille O’Neal, the 350-pound, 7-foot center of the Los Angeles Lakers. McCarville, dubbed ‘Baby Shaq’ in high school and now just ‘Shaq’ to her friends, plays center for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the team Duke must beat tonight in order to reach the Final Four. And she is big. Oh-so-big big. Others may be taller or dp the scales a little more, but McCarville is just Big. She’s big like President George W. Bush is big on the war on terror—there’s nothing subtle about it. Her style of play is big, her smile is big and she might have the biggest arms in Division I. Add in a headband, a shiny black knee brace and a bit of a nasty streak, and the final result is the basketball equivalent of Teddy Roosevelt (sans glasses) in the paint. “I like to have fun; I like to be intense,” a laughing McCarville said. “I try to use my strength and my speed to help my teammates out.” But even scarierfor opponents, especially for Duke’s post players —Iciss Tillis, Mistie Bass and Brittany Hunter—is that McCarville is as freakishly quick as she is large. Her footwork is also exceptional for a player of her size—Minnesota’s media guide doesn’t list player weights. All of which was on display in the

GOPHERS from page 1 weeks, ironically, the Golden Gophers were able to come into their own and each player was forced to play at a higher level. In the end, Whalen’s injury may have been for the best. “I know people say things happen for a reason and I was waiting for five and a halfweeks to figure out whatwhat thatreason was,” head coach Pam Borton said. “I think everyone really stepped it up. Janel [McCarville] really came into herself.... Everyone really had to step up and become a leader.” Not only did the team strengthen itself as a unit, but players like center Janel McCarville grew into tremendous tournament threats for opposing teams. Duke’s offense was pushed to the perimeter against La. Tech Saturday night, but tonight it will have to face McCarville, who leads tournament play in defensive rebounds and blocked shots. In addition, against BC Saturday, the 6foot-2 center had her seventh straight doubledouble with 25 points and 15 boards and a defensive effort that kept BC’s second-leading scorer Amber Jacobs to just one field goal. “I remember playing her more than once,” said Mistie Bass, Duke’s forward and a Wisconsin neighbor of McCarville. “She's pretty much the same player. She’s just sharpened up on a lot ofher skills. I’m looking forward to playing against her again just on another level. I’m going to just play hard against her and do everything I can to help my team succeed.” Now that Whalen is back, the duo of Whalen-McCarville is proving to be a dominant force for Minnesota. Whalen alone is

averaging 23 points per game and ranks first on the all-time Minnesota scoring list and sixth all-time in the Big 10. Paired with the inside bulk of McCarville, the two have taken their number seven seed to the Elite Eight. “They play off each other; they know what each other are thinking,” Borton said. “We have put in a system where the players can read each other and they do a great job of that. Sometimes, you can see Lindsay with three people on her and Janel is open somewhere. Lindsay finds her, somehow, and it works. They just know what the other’s thinking.” ‘We’re going to put different people on Lindsay,” Duke’s head coach Gail Goestenkors said. ‘We will probably start off with Alana [Beard] on her and just try to contain her. Lindsay does such a good job penetrating and every time she goes in, she always makes something good happen.” But the Blue Devils’ experience and starstudded cast is not to be underestimated either. This will be Duke's third consecutive regional final which means it will both have the upperhand in knowing what it’s like to play at that level and knowing what it's like to go home—a motivation which is, at least, equivilant to an underdog's desire to win. “Whenever you have been in this situation it helps,” said Beard, who has seen all three of those regional finals. We have been in this situation and we are hungry. Like Minnesota, we know how it feels to be the underdog in the Sweet 16 and we have to make it to the Final Four. We know how it feels to go home from here.... We got off the court [Sunday] and that’s it, celebration’s over and it’s time to get down to business. We’re here to win.” This is exactly what the oddsmakers and

national media pundits expect: Duke to win. But that’s of little consequence to the Golden Gophers. “We are playing as underdogs,” McCarville said. “Experience always helps. It helps people know what to do, lead, and it adds a sense ofcomfort. It is definitely not overrated.” With this knowledge and drive, the Blue Devils seem more mentally prepared and focused than ever before. In addition to heartand experience, Duke gets the nod in raw talent. McCarville is indisputably a huge offensive and defensive threat with her inside presence and agility. But the Blue Devils have depth in their bench to switch up defenders on McCarville. Brittany Hunter, when healthy, can put up double figures with her size and agility—the 6-foot-3 center scored 12 points in 13 minutes in her first game back and had 20 points and 10 rebounds in Duke’s regular season finale against N.C. State. Goestenkors also alluded to the possibility of putting Alison Bales into" the lineup. The 6-foot-7 has been able to put up a number of blocked shots in the sparse playing time she has received during the regular season. Borton said in Monday’s press conference that she doesn’t think Duke is “going to throw anything at us that we haven't seen.” And while Minnesota has faced tough offensive attacks during tournament and regularseason Big 10 play, it have not seen anything like Beard. With 26 honors in her senior year alone, including AP First Team AllAmerican, ACC Player of the Year and Naismith Finalist for Player of the Year, Beard’s wide range abilities on the court from leadership to long-range shooting will be a problem for defender Shannon Bolden.

Virginia, why do you like counseling grad students? It’s my pleasure to counsel and learn from our latter day Chaucerian “clerks” who gladly learn through research and readily communicate their discoveries at conferences, in print or online. Those Duke “clerks” who gladly teach (TA) are for me an important resource to the university because, with Duke faculty, they educate and influence our undergrads and may inspire some to consider devoting their talents to “schooling” others as well. I also enjoy encouraging grad students to consider the widest possible range of employment options and to demonstrate their thinking and writing skills in the crucial documents that introduce them to employers—the CV/resume,cover letter and other application documents. Conducting mock interviews is the high point of the year.

Men’s basketball Final Four 2004 notebook by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils used the Monday after

advancing to the Final Four as a day for rest, planning and regrouping. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski gave his team most of the day off, only holding a meeting to brief his players on what lies in the week ahead. The health and play of Chris Duhon were in the forefront of Krzyzewski’s mind when he addressed the media Monday afternoon in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Krzyzewski was baffled by the absence of Duhon on the All-Region team, which included the Atlanta’s Most Outstanding Player Luol Deng and fellow big man Shelden Williams. “I don’t know who picks the All-Region team down there, but Duhon was the best player in Adanta,” Krzyzewski said. “Not that he needs the individual honors, he just wants to win, but for him not [to] be chosen for that, the game isn’t being looked at the right way. No way we would be in San Antonio without Duhon. No way.” Even though he played 40 intense minutes during Sunday’s 66-63 victory of Xavier, Duhon —hampered by bruised ribs following a collision with a television camera in the ACC Championship final—said Monday afternoon that he was feeling as good as he has since suffering the injury March 14. The Duke senior has been wearing a wrap around his torso during games along with icing,

heat and stem therapy. After practicing only sporadically during the previous two weeks, Duhon plans to spend more time on the court in the week leading up to Saturday night’s national semifinal. The team will practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning before departing for San Antonio later that day. After getting a taste for the city and enjoying a dinner out Thursday evening, the team will then have an open practice in San Antonio Friday afternoon. Duke’s lack of depth has been a concern for Krzyzewski all season and played a major role in the Blue Devils’ regional final contest. With the game close down the stretch, the Blue Devils were forced to leave big men Williams and Deng on the court, despite each being only a foul away from ejection. Duke’s only regular post sub, Shavlik Randolph, had already fouled out. Krzyzewski said that Williams’ and Deng’s experience playing with fouls earlier in the season helped each evade his fifth foul Sunday. “I believe some of the things we’ve done in the regular season have allowed our players to play with fouls,” Krzyzewski said. “There’s a discipline you can’t learn in practice, you have to learn it in the game.” Deng’s ability to remain on the court and his 19-point performance Sunday evening were only the tangible impacts the precocious freshman had on the game.

made an emotional halftime speech that, Krzyzewski said Monday, was a critical component of the team’s ability to overcome a two-point halftime deficit and advance to the Final Four. “It was somebody doing something that should be done,” Krzyzewski said. “If it’s done by a player, a coach can do the same thing, but if a player says it, it has more impact. A lot of times people hold back feelings and what they say and a group doesn’t move forward. We moved forward.” Moving forward is exactly what the Blue Devils will be doing in the coming days. With the exception of Duhon, no Duke player has Final Four experience, but Krzyzewski, making his 10th trip to the sport’s greatest stage, will have plenty to call upon as he tries to direct his team to a national title. Among the tactics the Duke coach has used to help his team adjust to the emotion of the NCAA Tournament is showing the players video clips of great Duke tournament moments. Saturday night, before the Xavier matchup, the team viewed footage from six past regional champi-

onship contests. “It showed the excitement of who they played against,” Krzyzewski said. “We let them know about the moment, you can’t assume they know about the moment. We’ll do some of that before the game Saturday.”

PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS

by Frank Litsky NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

HARTFORD, Conn. The seedings the door Monday night as the UConn women’s basketball team wrote another bit of history. UConn may have won the last two national titles, but it was seeded second in the East Regional of the NCAA tournament. Penn State was seeded first, partly because UConn had finished the regular season in disarray. But in the regional final at the Hartford Civic Center, a crowd of 13,000 watched UConn smother Penn State, 6649, with a defense that gave no quarter. The victory sent the Huskies (294) into their fifth consecutive Final Four, something no other women’s team had achieved. Saturday in New Orleans, UConn will play the winner of Tuesday night’s Mideast final between Duke and Minnesota. UConn stretched its lead to 47-26 with 11:57 left in the second half. Penn State (28-6) finally caught fire and closed to 5142, but that was it. Diana Taurasi and Barbara Turner hit 3-pointers in a 9-0 run that put the game away. On a night when Maria Conlon and Ann Strother failed to score for UConn, Taurasi scored 27 points and Turner 26. For Penn State, Tanisha Wright had 16 points and Kelly Mazzante 14. Taurasi was voted the outstanding player in the regional. The first half was dominated by a UConn defense so bruising and so tight went out

that the Huskies left the floor with a 21-13 lead. That was the fewest points UConn had given up in a half in an NCAA tournament game and the fewest by any team in an East Regional game. Actually, the scoreboard at first read 2413 because Taurasi hit a 3-point shot before the buzzer sounded. The game officials examined a television tape, however, which the rules allow in some cases, and decided that the shot had left her hands after time expired, negating it. UConn coach Geno Auriemma stayed at the scorers’ table for five minutes, trying to get the basket allowed. Taurasi (8 points) and Turner (9) provided UConn’s firepower in the half. The Huskies made only 9of-23 shots (2 of 11 3pointers), but their defense left Penn State with depressingshooting figures: 6 for 30 over all, and l-for-8 from beyond the 3-point line. The UConn defense was so tight that Mazzante, who was averaging 20.2 points this season, finished the half with 2. Once, when she tried to move inside without the ball, she was repeatedly bumped, pinball style, by UConn defenders. With all that, Auriemma was not thrilled by UConn’s offense in the half. “I didn’t think we executed very well offensively,” he said. “I don’t think we’re going to hold them to 13 points in the second half.” In college basketball, home teams traditionally wear white uniforms. In tournaments like this, white belongs to the higherseeded team, and here that was Penn State.

MCCARVILLE from page 14 chemotherapy but scheduled her treatments around Minnesota’s sched-

ule this weekend. The same itinerary is in place next weekend in the case of a Gopher appearance in the Final Four in New Orleans. “My mom being here has been great,” McCarville said. And now Duke gets its first look at ‘Shaq,’ although it won’t be the first glance for two Blue Devils. Tillis was a teammate of McCarville’s on the USA team at the 2003 Pan American Games, and Bass went head-to-head with McCarville several times in high school. The two also shared state player of the year honors in 2001 and faced off in the state cham-

pionship game that same year—a Bass victory, although she recalls being

outscored by a wide margin. Maybe Bass, who hails from Janesville, Wisconsin, can shed some light on McCarville’s hometown Stevens Point, Wisconsin—and the passing reference McCarville made about brother’s pet goat as she walked awayfrom yesterday’s press conference. Stevens Point is a town of about 25,000 people mostly of German and Polish ancestry in the central part of the state. There were two robberies in the city in 2001. And the average low temperature in January is around three degrees Fahrenheit. And its motto? “Gateway to the Pineries.” “Steven’s Point is pretty rural,” a smiling Bass said. —

The town and region are also very into women’s basketball, particularly women’s high school hoops, according to Bass. All joking aside, McCarville presents a very serious threat to Duke if Alana Beard and company want to win the program’s first ever national championship. McCarville’s efforts have not gone unnoticed by Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors or any of the Blue Devils. “We have a little more knowledge [of McCarville] than some other teams,” Goestenkors said. “She is definitely a challenge.” “McCarville’s really strong, but Mistie’s pretty strong herself. I think we should be able to limit her impact on the game,” sophomore guard Jessica Foley said.

ATI from page 13 Ewing for a must-win game—especially against an über-tal-

ented team like, say, UConn—I take Ewing 10 times out of 10.1 guess that just proves two things: One, it’s good I’m not coaching the Blue Devils; and two, it’s good that Duke has the luxury of playing both its shooting guards. Luol Deng, with just another year at Duke, could already have himself in the discussion of the greatest players in school history. If he takes the Jason Williams route and opts to stay three years while earning his degree in an accelerated- program...Wow. Deng has the potential to make Laettner, Hill, Battier and Brand look average. I said it yesterday, and I’ll say it again today: Deng had his coming out party in the second half against Xavier. He flatout put the Blue Devils on his back and carried them, showing the flashes of greatness you just don’t expect to see from freshmen this side of Carmelo Anthony. One of the most amazing plays I’ve seen in my four years at Duke came during the 2001 National Championship game against Arizona. Late in the second half with Duke clinging to a three-point lead and desperate for a bucket, senior All-American Shane Battier somehow, someway tipped in a missed shot with the back ofhis hand. “It was one of the great plays I’ve seen in a championship game,” Coach K said at the time. “I don’t see how he could explain how he did it. I think it’s his will to win.” Sunday in Atlanta, it was deja vu all over again; only it wasn’t a seniorAll-American coming to the rescue for Duke, it was a freshman.

RUSHING

Fan behavior, during and after the game, has come under fire at the University of Maryland.

from page 13

Consequently, in each away game on the opposing team’s court the men’s basketball team has lost during the past two seasons, fans have turned basketball courts into mosh pits in,a matter of seconds—faster than players, coaches and media personnel can escape. Led by the students, college sports have a long tradition of court or field rushing after the buzzer concludes a “big” win. And while the dangers of rushing the court may be garnering increasing media attention, this tradition seems like it will continue. It is the overall sentiment of ACC athletic departments that, although aware of the dangers rushing the court may have on spectators, media and participants alike, attempting to prevent or restrain fans would be even more detrimental. “In my opinion, [our athletic department] frown [s] upon it, but we know we cannot contain it,” Wake Forest’s Director of Operations and Facilities Steve Adams said. “I know some colleges have resorted to mas-

ing students.... I think it would create more of a problem and more injuries trying to prevent it. There are too many opportunities for injuries in rushing the court but, having said that, there’s no real way to stop it.” Besides the notion of tradition, Adams’ theory has scientific backing. Adrenaline is a hormone that the body releases when it is excited, angry or afraid. In victories against Duke, students probably exhibit two of the three emotions. Adrenaline is called the “fight or flight” hormone, and everyone knows in college basketball, every game is a fight and the adrenaline rushing though the body makes the heart pump faster, gives the blood more sugar and oxygen for energy and helps muscles to be extra strong. A student.section driven by adrenaline is undoubtedly a force that is difficult to deter physically. In addition, if an event staff were to try to prevent students from storming, using methods like mace, as Adams mentioned, or physical restraint, more harm than help may result. Imagine a tangle between an armed officer and a college student who has just seen his underdog team win a 40 minutes neck-and-neck battle over a top-ranked team. Both parties likely are not going to stop until they get their way, but the cop has weapons and the fan has nothing but adrenaline-fed aggression and energy. “If students want to rush the court, we will let them,” Clemson’s Associate Athletic Director Van Hilderbrand said. “It would be worse to have a confrontation by trying to stop them. Our position would then be one of maintaining order the best we could and watch for any injuries. Floor personnel would go into a safety mode and be attentive to what is happening around them.” Still, despite a consensus that rushing the court is nearly impossible to deter, the issue has become an increasingly hot topic in recent seasons. During this year’s football season, for example, Marshall fans spilled over the bleachers after defeating Miami of Ohio. Amidst the densely packed people on the field, a Miami assistant allegedly knocked over a Marshall fan who was trampled after hitting the turf. The injury cost the coach his job, yet the potential for Duke players being enveloped in a bursting student section does not seem to carry the same gravity. In more extreme situations, Joe Kay, a stellar student with straight A’s and a volleyball scholarship to attend Stanford, was trampled by fans in.Tucson, Ari£ arid suffered a stroke. He is still unable to move his right hand or right leg. Georgia Tech Senior Associate Director of Athletics, Bobby Robinson, said his staff would “prefer [rushing the court] did not happen but circumstances sometimes lead to this happening.” They therefore instituted a policy where “the visiting team is given a corridor by security from their bench to the tunnel area.” The Yellow Jackets also utilize 12 security officers on the floor in addition to four uniformed policemen at each contest. Similarly, at Clemson, “there is a uniformed officer assigned to both coaches. They sit right behind the benches. Their only job is the safety of the coaches.” Hilderbrand also acknowledged a floor staffof six university officers and six event staff personnel assigned to the floor, and that these numbers fluctuate depending on the opponent. “Fan enthusiasm is important to college basketball,” Shannon Yates, Assistant Athletic Director at N.C. State, said. “However, the safety of players and fans when it goes too far it can be challenged. Each university is responsible to have a policy in place to protect the fans and the players.” Yates’ and the Wolfpack’s policy is to use “a variety of event staff. There’s a uniformed officer with the head coach of each team and the officials to help them get off the court safely and there are event staff and uniformed officers, too.” Still, all of these policies reflect each university’s conclusion that the circumstances are inevitable not their desire to prohibit them totally because of their potential consequences. And they are probably on the right track

Our endorsements reflects student leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to improving the overall quality of student and academic life, and a determination to make DSG a more effective representative body of student interests. We have endorsed candidates with a comprehensive and critical understanding of campus issues, knowledge of the administrative framework they will work in, and the savvy to accomplish their goals. For the office of DSG President, Duke Democrats endorses Anthony Vitarelli. Mr. Vitarelli combines a commitment to improving the undergraduate experience at Duke with the skill and gravitas to make his broad and well-articulated vision a reality. For the office of Executive Vice-President, we endorse Andrew Wisnewski, who possesses an extensive knowledge of the DSG legislative process, and a professionalism becoming of the position. For the office of Vice-President for Academic Affairs, we endorse Megan Smith for her prior body of work representing stu-

dent interests in improving the academic experience at Duke. For the office ofVice-President for Student Affairs, we endorse Brandon Goodwin for his sharp intuition for the sentiments of the student body, and passion to address the concerns and issues of the campus community. For the office of Vice-President for Community Interaction, we endorse Joel Kliksberg for his/her understanding of the importance of connecting all members of the greater Duke community, and communications skills to do so. For the office ofVice-President ofFacilities and Athletics, we endorse Jesse Longoria for his enthusiasm for promoting student athletics and access to campus resources. Duke Democrats feels confident these candidates will provide the leadership and vision DSG needs to affectively steer the student body towards a more promising future.

Jewish stereotypes in column are hurtful We are deeply disturbed by the generalizations and ignorant views David Nefouse espoused in his March 26 column. Nefouse begins his column with a list of hurtful Jewish stereotypes, and although he “does not associate [himself] with these classifications,” he seems to take them as truths. He chooses not to subscribe to what he perceives as the classic Jewish life path, and in doing so, vilifies those who have life attitudes other than his own. Nefouse exaggerates the extent to which Jews self-segregate. Few Jews perceive the South as vehemently anti-Semitic, get jobs because of nepotism or limit themselves to certain neighborhoods and clubs. Some Jews do feel that it is important to associate with and marry those who share their faith, background, and race. The same could be said about most cultural groups in general or any that have used solidarity as a defense against repeated persecution. Nefouse condemns Jews for being “hesitant” about welcoming differences. Jews have been among the most progressive and welcoming groups throughout history because our culture encourages debate about the status quo Nefouse may be exercising his right to

question Judaism, but seems to believe that others are blindly following a dogmatic, parentally-imposed doctrine that is disappearing with “assimilation.” We would like to inform him that we choose to be involved in the Jewish community and date other Jews when possible because we want to. We enjoy our culture and community, and do not think the world provides us with a stark choice between assimilation and segregation. We are Jewish. And it does define who we are. But so do our genders, our majors, our hometowns and our interests. We are not afraid to be Jews. Ifyou’d like to find out more about Jewish life here at Duke, we invite you to come to our home, the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, at least before you make a public indictment of Jewish culture and beliefs. Or before you bless your four-year hiatus from “JAPs” (also not directed toward Asians, or meant to offend Jews). Rachael Solomon Trinity ’O3 Amanda Zimmerman Pratt ’O3 David Segall Trinity ’O6

COMMENTARIES

THE CHRONICLE

TUESDAY. MARCH 30. 2004 I

Lost Money

It’s

a historic time. We’re in the Final Four, and we are also into the final few TALing It like It Is. For some of you, that may be a good thing. For the rest, enjoy 'em while you got em. Fresh off a trip to the ATL, and coming towards the end of the semester, I’m dead broke. I’m sure I’m not that far off from most of you. So how in the world can we just sit by as $140,000 of our (parents) money has gone unused? $140,000. 6 digit figure. Divide that by 6, it’s more than 23.00 per student. Divide it by 1600, about the amount of students in the senior class, and it’s almost 90.00. That money that has been delegated to

only they weren’t spent for the past 7 years. And so we as senTal Hirshberg iors are faced with the prospect of having paid 4 TALing it like it is years of activities fees without gaining the benefits. Not that we should be surprised. We seniors are used to this, aren’t we? The Class of 2004 gift shouldn’t be a bench. It’s should be the tools used to build the bench, since we’ve been used, abused, nailed, and screwed. The only thing we have in relation to the bench is that like most benches at this school, we will be forgotten under a pile of rubble. Only our Duke ashes lie beneath the West Eden’s Link, the new Bryan Center, the new Central Campus Village, and the NEW curriculum 2000. Anything new, you know we have nothing to do with. Except the all new Towerview. WOO-HOO! I hate to beat a dead horse, but sometimes that horse likes to get back up and kick you in the face when you aren’t looking. And so you have to beat it again. Larry Monetta, when you are the most hated man on campus, it’s not something you can just say “Oh Well” and continue on your merry way. As the Vice President of Student activities,

Affairs, you could try to live on the same planet as your students, and at the very least attempt to get to know them. Hi. I’m Tal Hirshberg. I’m not a retard. The day after we hear that we have all this money for activities, Monetta raised quad fees by $3O. He didn’t ask campus council, didn’t ask the student population through a vote. He simply told us. And why does he need this money? So he can hire more people who have no clue what we as students want. This situation is a disaster. Now you know why people are dying to move off campus. As a senior, I feel sorry for the rest ofyou who have to stick around while you have no say in what your funds go to, and then get blamed when you don’t show up to the events you paid for without consent. It is a shame really, and all I can say is that you all should vote today for people who will at least try to change all that. But I will go down fighting. $140,000 is a lot of money. And we seniors deserve something out of that. My favorite idea—Tyler Jones suggests we write a check out for $lOO,OOO and send it to Jay-Z for Last Day Of Classes. The other $4O grand should go a REALLY OLD Duke party with a bit more than 8 kegs on the quad. But there are other ways to spend the money. Pay for everyone’s parking tickets over the past 4 years. Pay off the Durham residents off East to shut the hell up so we can for once have a good party without it being broken up. A rave in the Gardens. Filet Mignon and Crystal in the Great Hall. Install X-boxes in every dorm room. Build a legit movie theater, with a hooked up Sound System, and get new releases playing. Give every student DVD copies of The Program, American Psycho, Blue Chips, and Spinal Tap. (The first three are a pretty good wrap up of Duke, with Spinal Tap being my gift to you all.) Pay for the New York Times to be delivered to every student’s door, and then pay for someone to read it to us. Reimburse us for having to deal with female editorialists week after week. Something, anything that will show me I didn’t spend the last 4 years of my life at a school that can crack the Genome but misplaces enough

money to buy 3 and a half babies on the black market, I have one last idea, but I don’t know how well it will go over. Take the 140,000, cut it in half, and then double it. Then take all that, go to Vegas, and bet this parlay: Nick on the Apprentice, The Rat Pack wannabe on American Idol, and Madeline Albright not to show up to Graduation. Then again, I’m last in all my tourney pools, so who knows. Anyway, I have one last thing. I’m throwing a contest. Over the past few years, I’ve heard many variations on my name; Talculator, Tal-Qaeda, Taliban, Tal-Iraq, Talifornia. I’ve heard a ton. So I want some new ones. Send me something original, and I’ll drop you in an article. UCONN, like the rest of Connecticut, sucks. Tal Hirshberg is a Trinity senior. His column appears every other Tuesday.

The Big Show: Blackness at Duke

Now

that the Black Student Alliance campus while prospective students look Invitational (BSAI) weekend is on creates an illusion that there is a subover, the black student body here stantial black presence on this campus. In truth, black bodies are attracted to at Duke can put away their costumes and these rehearsals of black unity precisely the of and unity performance hospistop tality. Every year, Duke and BSA collabo- because such unity is lacking. For one rate to orchestrate a performance of weekend, black students have the opportunity to perform “real blackness in order to enblackness,” with all its tice prospective students implications of struggle, into believing that our hyper-masculinity, hocampus is a nurturing environment for black stumophobia, and lack of dents. BSA plans a funprivilege. BSAI is thus not only a performance filled weekend that masks for the administration, the reality of our condibut also a performance tion here at Duke. Once for ourselves. We want the prospective students Yousuf AI-Bulushi to believe that “cultural have left, we go back to Action and Reaction events” such as step our separate clusters, only fashion shows, shows, to unite the following year and “man-tanning” once more this perform to around are the only authentic reflections illusion of community. BSAI weekend in 2001 was one of the of blackness. As black students, we must most memorable because of The Chronacknowledge that we are performing icle’s decision to publish David these notions of blackness. But first, let us explain the current Horowitz’s ad against reparations the preceding week. Black students actively constructions of blackness that we are alprotested against the Chronicle’s deci- lowed to embrace: the negative and culturally affirmative. The negative: “drivsion to publish the ad and the administration’s support of the Chronicle. Fearing while black,” “the angry black ful of how the demonstrations would woman” and “the menacing black male” reflect on the image of the institution, are forms of blackness that are imposed however, Duke requested that students upon the performers; black objects. This is a blackness minus black agency, refrain from protesting during the weekwhich causes black people to withdraw end’s events. Duke presents a “coninto a protective cocoon. This protective trolled image” of the black student population by censoring the undesirable cocoon can be seen as the second form images of student protests (against the of blackness: an affirmative performHorowitz ad) and masking the disunity ance of cultural blackness that is a reacthat exists within the “black community.” tionary apolitical withdrawal from the Organizing events such as BSAI that societal imposition of the negative first attract black people to visible places on form. The culturally affirmative form of

blackness, in other words, does not address the causes of the negative. Instead, it weatherproofs the black self against the racism of the negative form by safeguarding from and avoiding inflammatory issues. If affirmative blackness is politicized, it is a politics that is limited to the boundaries of the status quo, i.e. the model minority. We say this to challenge black students to deconstruct and reimagine their blackness, which has been politically neutralized in our society. To begin we must first realize that we are part of the black elite. Although we dare not say it, we up-and-coming black doctors and lawyers represent the future of the black bourgeoisie, a distinction that is not much different from our white counterparts. As we ascribe to attain positions of higher status, black students are not being critical of our positions and still hold on to the rhetoric of oppression and discrimination. This directly relates to black people’s sense of entitlement to reparations that includes not only a monetary benefit, but also the privilege garnered by ascribing to these notions of cohesive struggle. Many of the black students at Duke are first generation Americans whose parents migrated from Africa and the Caribbean, and have not inherited the same burden as African American descendants of slaves. A lot of us represent model minorities—a status that is used as a weapon against the masses ofAfrican Americans descended from slaves who may never be able to enter circles of privilege such as Duke. In this sense, many of the black students here at Duke claim a black experience without having clearly defined what it is and how

it applies to them. Please do not be misled, we recognize that black people still suffer under institutions of oppression. However, racism is changing and, unlike the black masses, black students at Duke are in a position of privilege and more realistically becoming part of the problem as we ascend the class ranks. Among us are the future Colin Powells and Condoleezza Rices of our generation. Once we insert politics into this idea of uniformed blackness, the myth of unity crumbles. Instead of creating an identity politics based on the construction of an identity or role that was created for us to perform, we should create a political identity for ourselves. Gloria Anzaldua explains that it is not enough to stand in opposition to whiteness, for we become locked in a “duel of oppressor and oppressed” in which all “reaction is limited by and dependent on, what it is reacting against,” the oppressor. We must create a political identity, whereby we “act and not react” to claim control over the production of our own subjectivity. The Black Power movement offers us examples of this self-creation as seen in the revolutionary declaration that black is Beautiful. It is now our responsibility to produce new subjectivities that speak to our current moment. Can blackness become resistance? Can blackness become womanist? Can blackness become gay or lesbian? Can blackness become powerful? As Anzaldua says, “the possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.” This article was primarily written by Trinity senior Ekua Annan and Trinity sophomore Zachari. Curtis, with some additions from Chronicle columnist YousufAl-Bulushi.
