At 7 o’clock tonight, nervous high school seniors from across the world will check online to see if they are among the 3,183 lucky students admitted regular-decision to Duke for Fall 2004.

Chances are, they are going to be

The University’s undergraduate admission rate dropped

again this year to just over 22 percent, as admissions officers chose a total of 3,679 regularand early-decision applicants from a pool of 16,702. Last year, slightly more students were admitted from an applicant pool almost exactly the same size as this year’s, for an admission rate of 22.5 percent.

Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said this year’s group of admitted students is stronger than last year’s, but the difference is not as great as that between the Class of 2007 and the Class of 2006.

‘This leap between last year and the year before was dramatic.

The difference between this applicant pool and last year’s applicant pool is not quite as dramatic, but it is still noticeable to us,” he said. “I think with the last two classes, we are a step closer to bringing to Duke the ideal class, which has academic strength, a real interest in learning, students from a variety of backgrounds and students with multiple talents. Many of the best students are both exceptionally bright and exceptionally well-rounded, and I think that Duke is a terrific place

for students that manage both to have fun learning and have fun outside of the class as well.”

The reduced number of admission offers this-year is a result of the Board of Trustees’ desire to have a smaller freshman class, Guttentag said. The target size for the Class of 2008, 1,602, is nearly 30 students smaller than last year’s incoming freshman class. The Trustees’ lower target means there is a higher-than-normal population of rising Duke sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Sharon agrees on withdrawal vote by

James Bennet

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Faced with TEL AVIV, Israel sharpening opposition from his coalition partners and catcalls from leaders of Likud, his own traditionally rightist party, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon moved Tuesday to shore up his political base by agreeing to hold a party vote on his plan to withdraw from some Israeli-occupied territory.

At a deeply unsettled moment in Israeli politics, Sharon was greeted with applause and boos at a meeting here of Likud’s governing body, its central committee.

The members were pleased with Is-

rad’s killing last week of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. But they were angry or confused about the withdrawal plan and worried about Sharon’s legal difficulties, including a corruption inquiry that could lead to an indictment.

“We are at a crossroads,” said Dubi Sandrov a settler from the northern West Bank. “Things are very difficult, both the situation itself and the way we feel.”

Sharon led Likud to its present dominance in Israeli politics. He was introduced with praise for the killing of the Hamas leader, whom the Israeli govem-

called a terrorist mastermind. But he had to raise his voice to be heard over the clamor of critics and supporters in an auditorium of the Palace of Culture here.

“We shall have to take very difficult decisions,” Sharon warned, in a reference to his withdrawal plan. He added that the prime minister bore “the supreme authority,” but that “major decisions of this kind should be brought to a democratic vote.”

He said he would hold a referendum among the party’s 200,000 members.

The vote will not take place until after a merit

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush agreed to do what he had insisted for weeks he would not: allow National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to testify publicly and under oath before an independent panel investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The White House also agreed that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney would answer questions—together, in private —before the entire commission.

The turnabout reflected concern that the president’s strongest point with voters —his leadership in the war on terror—could be eroded ifdispute over Rice’s testimony lingered.

Law used in human rights suits under scrutiny by

W. Bush administration has repudiated it.

Paul Clement, a deputy solicitor general, urged the justices to rule that the law itself created no rights that could be invoked by private parties but simply provided jurisdiction over a limited category of cases. He said private human rights suits—some relying on treaties or international agreements that the U.S. has not signed—threatened the separation of powers by injecting the federal courts into the business of articulating the country’s foreign policy.

“You have private litigants who may be very well intentioned bringing issues into the courts and creating problems that the executive branch has to try to ameliorate,” Clement said.

The justices listened attentively but appeared to doubt whether this case was the

The Supreme Court WASHINGTON was the forum Tuesday for a wide-ranging debate on whether a law passed by the first Congress in 1789 was meant to permit foreign citizens to use the federal courts tP sue for damages for human rights violations committed overseas.

The growing use of the Alien Tort Statute has alarmed the international business community, which has seen several lawsuits against multinationals for their labor practices or collaboration with repressive regimes. Human rights organizations have mounted a concerted defense of the current broad interpretation of the law. The federal government once embraced that interpretation, but the George

right vehicle for the broad ruling the ad-

ministration and its corporate allies were seeking. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor suggested that if the administration had problems how the law was being used, its remedy lay with Congress.

“Has Congress been asked to take a look at the statute?” she asked Clement. “Let Congress have a look at this thing. I’m sure Congress would be interested in the views of the attorney general,” O’Connor said.

Other justices suggested that the administration’s new position, that the law applied only to jurisdiction and not to substance, appeared to come out of the blue. “I have yet to find any judge who takes that position,” Justice John Paul Stevens told Clement.

‘Your fundamental position is totally unsupported by judicial opinions,” Stevens said.

The case is a joint appeal by the United States and Jose Francisco Sosa, a Mexican citizen, who was recruited by federal drug enforcement agents to kidnap a Mexican doctor in his Guadalajara office and bring him across the border. Humberto AlvarezMachain, the doctor, had been indicted on charges of participating in the torture and murder of federal agent Enrique Camarena-Salazar in Guadalajara in 1990.

Alvarez-Machain was acquitted of the charges and returned to Mexico. In 1993, he sued both the U.S. government and Sosa, asserting that he had been subjected to false arrest in violation of international law.

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan Gunfire and explosions resounded in the capital Tuesday as Uzbek forces batded for hours with suspected Islamic militants after two more suicide attacks. Officials claimed 20 terrorists and three police died in the fighting.

The bloodshed brought the death toll to 42 in three days of violence, the government said—the most unrest in the country since Uzbekistan let hundreds of U.S. troops use a base near the Afghan border after the Sept. 11 attacks. All of this week’s attacks appeared to target Uzbek authorities.

The clashes Tuesday were centered in the Yalangach neighborhood, just outside the city limits off the road heading to the official home of President Islam Karimov.

The Interior Ministry said in an statement read on state-run TV that 20 terrorists and three police were killed in the confrontations that began about 7:20 a.m., while five other police were wounded.

‘Twenty of them blew themselves up using self-made explosive devices,” the ministry said of the alleged terrorists.

The statement did not specify how long the operation lasted, but witnesses indicated explosions and shooting went on for at least several hours.

GOP votes Chief inspector frustrated in Iraq down tax John cut curbs Jehl

by Douglas NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Jr.

by Richard Oppel NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

House RepubliWASHINGTON can leaders avoided an embarrassing setback Tuesday, barely defeating a nonbinding resolution favoring new restrictions on future tax cuts that are the centerpiece of President George W. Bush’s economic program.

The major budget fight between the House and Senate this year is not over provisions of the budget itself, as both Republican-controlled chambers have passed $2.4 trillion spending blueprints for next year that largely track Bush’s proposal. Instead, the battle is over rules that would make it more difficult for Congress to pass tax cuts that are not paid for by increases in other taxes or spending cuts. The Senate has approved a “pay as you go” measure that covers taxes, but Bush and Republican congressional leaders strenuously oppose the

legislation.

In a vote that reflected the apprehension of many lawmakers that the $478 billion budget deficit is becoming a major election-year concern for voters, the House split, 209-209, Tuesday on a measure urging House members negotiating a budget deal with the Senate to accept the Senate’s tax-cut reSEE BUDGET ON PAGE 12

The new chief WASHINGTON weapons inspector in Iraq told Congress Tuesday that a lack of cooperation from ousted Iraqi officials was thwarting American- efforts to untangle the many remaining mysteries surrounding Iraq’s suspected illicit weapons program.

In the public version of testimony delivered behind closed doors to two Senate committees Tuesday the inspector, Charles Duelfer acknowledged that American inspectors had still not found any evidence of an illicit arsenal. But he seemed less inclined than David Kay, his predecessor, to close the door on the possibility that such weapons might yet be found, saying that inspectors were continuing to pursue leads—“some quite intriguing and credible”—about concealed caches.

Democratic senator Carl Levin of Michigan complained later Tuesday that the public version of Duelfer’s testimony had omitted information contained in the classified version that would have raised further doubts about whether Iraq possessed illicit weapons at all.

Through a spokesperson, Duelfer responded to say that both versions of his testimony “mirror each other, consistent with the protection of sources, methods and other classified intelligence information.”

Levin, who serves on both panels that Duelfer addressed in closed session, asked that the CIA declassify the entire report to the fullest extent possible, “so the public can reach their own conclusions.”

Duelfer, who took charge of the search in January, said at a news conference on

Dissent Past & Present A Series of Public Events Duke University

Capitol Hill that the picture of Iraq’s suspicious activities “is much more complicated than I anticipated going in.” He said he could not predict how much more time he might need before he reached final con-

clusions about what illicit weapons, if any, Iraq possessed at the time of the American invasion last March.

‘The people we need to speak to have spent their entire professional lives being trained not to speak” about illicit weapons, Duelfer said in a public version of his testimony. He said that Iraqi scientists and engineers were keeping silent both out of fear of prosecution or arrest by American officials, and out offear ofretribution from supporters of Saddam Hussein’s former regime.

Duelfer took over from Kay, who at the time of his resignation in January said American officials were “almost all wrong, probably” in assessing before the war that Saddam’s regime possessed illicit weapons.

Duelfer said Monday that inspectors had uncovered new information that Iraq had in place before the war at least the technical capability to use civilian facilities to quickly produce the biological and chemical agents needed for weapons.

Still, “We do not know whether Saddam was concealing WMD in the final years or planning to resume production once more sanctions were lifted. We do not know what he ordered his senior ministers to undertake. We do not know how the disparate activities we have identified link together,” Duefler said.

Duelfer’s status report was the first such update since last October, and it came nearly 10 months after Kay and his Iraq Survey Group began their hunt last June.

The failure of American inspectors to find illicit weapons in Iraq has prompted Kerry, the Democrats, including Sen. candidate, to press the party’s presidential George W. Bush administration to acknowledge having been wrong in the prewar assessments in which senior officials described Iraq’s weapons program as a principal reason for going to war.

In urging patience, however, Duelfer was echoing the calls made by President Bush and by his immediate boss, George Tenet, the director of central intelligence, to whom he reports as a special adviser.

Two Republican senators, Pat Roberts of Kansas, who heads the Senate intelligence committee, and John Warner of Virginia, who heads the Senate armed services committee, both joined Monday in asking for more time before any final judgments are reached.

Duelfer expressed a particular frustration about what he described as “the extreme reluctance of Iraqi managers, scientists, and engineers to speak freely.”

Even a year after the American invasion, he said, “obtaining clear, truthful information from the senior Iraqi leadership has been problematic even at this point in time.”

“Many people have yet to be found or questioned, and many of those we have found are not giving us complete answers,” he said. And although American investigators had recovered millions of documents, he said, millions more were destroyed, while a shortage of Arabic linguistic capabilities meant that only a “tiny fraction” of the whole had yet been fully translated.

SHARON

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31,2004

from page 2

scheduled meeting April 14 between Sharon and President George W. Bush.

The most fervent members of Likud dream of a Greater Israel that includes the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the lands Israel occupied in the Arab-Israeli war of 1967.

Unlike Sharon, the party officially rejects the creation of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River.

Some of the central committee members gave voice to a feeling of betrayal.

“When the old Arik takes responsibility for destroying Ahmed Yassin, the terrorist, we have nothing to do but clap and say, ‘Go for it, Arik,’” said Gidon Ariel, a marketing consultant from the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim, using Sharon’s nickname. “But when he talks about withdraw-

al, I know what our enemies are hearing: Terrorism works.”

Saying the Palestinian leadership is not now a partner for a peace agreement, Sharon is seeking to create what he calls more secure boundaries by withdrawing settlers and soldiers unilaterally from most or all of the Gaza Strip and part of the West Bank. Otherwise, he said, Israel risks eventually losing more of the territory in some sort of internationally imposed agreement.

To blunt the attacks of his right-wing critics, Sharon wants Bush’s agreement to the plan, including support for Israel to retain some large blocks of settlements in the West Bank.

An adviser to Sharon said the prime minister could not be certain of winning the referendum, but that support from Bush would clearly help. “I think it’s going to be a tough battle,” he said, adding that

Lent A time for repentance

it would be at least a month before the vote could be held. “And God knows what could happen in that month,” he added.

Sharon is newly vulnerable because Menachem Mazuz, Israel’s attorney general, is weighing whether to indict him in a bribery investigation. That process is likely to take more than a month. Two far-right government ministers seized on the issue Tuesday to argue that he should not go to Washington until the matter was resolved.

Sharon, who has not been charged with a crime, is suspected of accepting bribes from an Israeli developer. An indictment would probably bring down his government, Israeli politicians and political analysts said.

“For the prime minister’s honor, he shouldn’t go to the United States in a situation where his political future is uncertain,” Effie Eitam, the housing minister

and the leader of the National Religious Party, told Israel radio.

Within Likud, Sharon’s legal predicament appears to have earned him more sympathy than suspicion. Likud members have traditionally nursed a sense of grievance against Israel’s social establishment the source, members appeared to think, of Israel’s prosecutors.

“It’s character assassination,” Avi Amit, 29, an employment counselor, said of the furor in the Israeli news media over the corruption inquiry. He said he supported a withdrawal from Gaza, though not the West Bank. He rejected any suggestion that Sharon, a general turned politician, had broken the law.

“My father raised me on Sharon, on the wars, on the victories,” he said. “It’s not serious to say that a man like this, a real hero of Israel, would do something like this.”

ACADEMICS from page 1 compelling students to stay on campus, administrators want to ensure they receive a solid intellectual foundation from their Yale education.

The recently-issued Report on Yale Education, a comprehensive analysis of Yale’s undergraduate academic program, underscored the school’s commitment to liberal arts education-‘-even at the expense of pre-professional training.

“In our judgment, the Student best equipped for [the] future will be a person fitted with multiple skills that can be brought to bear in versatile ways on changing situations,” reads the document, which Brodhead largely authored.

The Report noted, however, that encouraging students to obtain such a liberal arts education has been difficult.

Out of such varied dramatic forms as melodrama, vaudeville, opera, realism and the well-made play, English and Irish drama evolved by both criticizing and capitalizing on these traditions. Topics will include audience response, a comparison of the movements for national theaters in England and Ireland, and the various critiques that these playwrights leveled at the societal ills of the Victorian era.

Readings will include works by such authors as Ibsen, Gilbert and Sullivan, Pinero, Shaw, Wilde, Yeats, Synge, and O’Casey.

would violate the principles of executive privilege or sepa-

ration of powers.

“We recognize the fact that this is an extraordinary event,” Kean said. “This does not set a precedent.” He said there was still no time set —either for Rice’s public testimony or for Bush and Cheney’s private appearance. Administration officials said her appearance probably would come at the end of next week.

Bush is staking much of his re-election bid on his performance as President after the 2001 attacks.

But former Bush counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke—in a best-selling book and testimony before the Sept. 11 commission- last week—contended the President had been slow to act against al-Qaeda before the attacks and compromised the anti-terror battle afterward by going to war in Iraq.

Opinion polls suggest support for Bush’s handling of the war on terror has declined. Two surveys out this week show the President’s approval ratings on that issue are now in the high 50 percent range after being in the mid60s for months.

Although the erosion has not hurt Bush in one-on-one

SUPREME COURT from page 4 States, which was brought under the Federal Tort Claim Act, but allowed the case against Sosa to go to trial under the Alien Tort Statute. A jury awarded the doctor $25,000 in damages.

On appeal, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, upheld the judgment on the ground that the doctor had been subjected to an arbitrary arrest in violation of the “law of nations.” That is the central phrase in the Alien Tort Statute, which authorizes suits “for a tort only commit-' ted in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.” The 9th Circuit also reinstated the doctor’s case against the federal government, a ruling the government also appealed as part of its argument Tuesday.

If the Supreme Court finds that the doctor’s cross-border arrest was not arbitrary and did not violate international law, it could simply rule that the Alien Tort Statute did not apply. Such a ruling would avoid an interpretation of the statute itself and deprive the Sosa v. AlvarezMachain, No. 03 339 case of much meaning. Both Clement and Carter Phillips, representing Sosa, urged the court to go further.

“There are significant reasons for the court to try to provide guidance,” Phillips said, noting that the large number of briefs filed in the case were “extraordinary in their breadth and depth.”

Among the 22 briefs were those from most leading business organizations on one side, leading human rights organizations on the other, scholars on both sides and one from the European Commission in support ofneither side.

The commission, which is the executive body of the 15nation European Community, proposed a reading of the statute broader than that of the Bush administration but narrower than that offered on the human-rights side. Although the statute could properly permit suits under evolving principles ofinternational law, the brief said, federal courts should refrain if a case could be pursued within a plaintiff s home country.

“What’s wrong with that?” Justice Stephen Breyer asked Phillips. Breyer said the approach, which he clearly found attractive, would rule out some cases but leave “a core of basic human rights violations that have been internationalized.

But he did not make a sale. “I don’t know what the limitation is,” Phillips objected, adding that the law would still be so open-ended as to raise “core separation of powers issues.”

Paul Hoffman, representing Alvarez-Machain, urged the justices simply to rule that “Congress meant what it said” in 1789. “Congress decided that we as a nation would enforce the law of nations,” he said.

Justice Antonin Scalia added, “My problem with that is that it leaves it up to the courts to decide what the law of nations is.” The result could be “a serious interference with the ability of the political branches to conduct foreign affairs,” Scalia said. ‘There are a lot of things the European Union could think are bad and we don’t think are bad.”

“The problems are not as insurmountable as they are made out to be,” Hoffman said. He said that courts could and should be selective in the claims that they allow to go forward.

“All we’re asking is that courts be allowed to perform the kind of function courts have performed for hundreds of years, provide damage remedies for violations of personal rights,” Hoffman continued. :

”

polling against Democratic rival John Kerry, the White House saw a brewing problem.

It waged a vigorous counterattack on Clarke’s credibility. But the many hours Rice spent rebutting Clarke in the news media only raised anew the criticism of the White House refusal to let her testify publicly.

Even Republicans began saying the administration’s argument on separation ofpowers should be tossed aside.

Commissioner Slade Gorton, a former Republican senator from Washington state, said he was delighted at Bush’s change of heart, but added, “I think the White House would have been better off if it had made the agreements sooner.”

Bush has reversed himself in the face of political realities on several previous occasions, especially on the subject of the Sept. 11 commission.

Most recently, the administration, which had wanted to restrict any access to the President by the panel to just one hour, relaxed that limit. At the same time, the White House had continued to insist that Bush and Cheney would meet only privately and only with the commission chairperson and vice chairperson.

The new agreement set several conditions.

White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales, in a letter to the panel, stipulated that the commission must agree to

31, 2004

111

seek no more public testimony from any White House official and that Rice’s appearance would not be viewed as a

precedent.

Rice appeared before the panel in February, in a pri-

vate meeting of which no transcript was made.

As for Bush, he and Cheney will appear before all 10 commissioners in a single, joint session, with onfe commission staff member present to take notes, Gonzales wrote.

Bush said he agreed to the change “so the public record is full and accurate” and because “the circumstances of this case are unique.”

The commission accepted the White House conditions.

Commissioner Bob Kerrey, a former Democratic senator from Nebraska, said the President and Vice President will not be under oath. And Gorton confirmed there would be no time constraints on their appearance.

Commissioner Tim Roemer, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana, said Rice should address Clarke’s charges—including that the Bush administration took too long to develop its anti-terrorism strategy.

A group of relatives of Sept. 11 victims said they were pleased the commission would be able to question Rice in public, but lamented the commission would not do so with other White House officials.

An Interior Ministry officer said 16 suspected terrorists —11 men and five women—were killed in the building.

Some were shot by police but others killed themselves with grenades, said the officer, who refused to give his name. His comments contradicted the Interior Ministry statement, and the bodies on the sidewalk also appeared intact and not tom apart by an explosion.

State spokesperson Department Richard Boucher said the United States had no information on who was responsible for the current attacks but noted the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has been the dominant threat in the country.

The group was believed to have been decimated in the U.S.-led anti-terror operations in Afghanistan, and Pakistani forces this month hunting al-Qaeda fugitives on the Afghan border said they wounded the IMU’s political leader.

Karimov has blamed the violence on Islamic extremists, and said several arrests had been made. He said Monday that backing for the attacks might have come from a banned radical group that has never before been linked to terrorism—Hizb ut-Tahrir. The group denied involvement.

talked to Bush about the issue “The president wants to make sure that these tax cuts are extended,” Snowe said.

House Republican leaders said they still oppose applying “pay as you go” to taxes. Tuesday, the majority leader, Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, restated a view that has been cited by other Republican House leaders: Tax cuts pay for themselves by generating economic growth that more than makes up for lost revenue.

“We, as a matter of philosophy, understand that when you cut taxes the economy grows, and revenues to the government grow,” DeLay said. “The whole notion that you have to cut spending in order to cut taxes negates that philosophy, and so I’m not interested in something that would negate our philosophy.”

But that theory is not shared by the White House. Last year’s annual report of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers stated that “although the economy grows in response to tax reductions (because of higher consumption in the short run and improved incentives in the long run), it is unlikely to grow so much that lost tax revenue is completely recovered by the higher level ofeconomic activity.”

The people had moved into an apartment in the four-story building in January, the resident said, adding that a young man who spoke Uzbek with an accent signed the rent agreement. She did not know how many people lived there, saying they spent their days away and returned at night.

Another building several hundred yards away showed signs of heavy fighting, its walls blackened by fire and pocked by dozens of bullet holes. Neighbors who were cleaning up charred books and other debris said four young men were killed in the house and that none of its residents were home at the time of the shoot-out.

It was unclear whether the four were among the 16 the Interior Ministry officer

BUDGET from page 6 strictions. At one point, 212 House members had voted for the measure, but House leaders kept the vote open for more than 20 extra minutes to pressure a handful of members to change their votes. The tie vote meant that the measure was defeated.

With House leaders able to maintain their chamber’s opposition to the “pay as you go” rules, attention is turning to Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, the Republican senators from Maine who may hold the fate of the budget in their hands.

Earlier this month, both women joined with John McCain of Arizona and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, two other Senate Republicans, and all but one Democrat to approve by a 51-48 vote an amendment requiring 60 votes for the Senate to approve any tax cuts in the next five years that are not offset by spending cuts or increases in other taxes.

Secretary of State Colin Powell offered assistance Tuesday to the Uzbek government in its investigation.

the decade.

McCain and Chafee say they will vote for a final budget only if it includes the provision. Tuesday, Collins said she was open to a compromise, perhaps a provision of shorter duration. “It might be possible to have something that was more limited in time,” Collins said. “I am open to discussing any reasonable alternative.”

But Snowe indicated she was less inclined to compromise. “I’m not likely to vote for a conference report without pay-go that treats tax cuts and spending equally,” Snowe said Tuesday, referring to the legislative shorthand for “pay as you go.”

If the provision is stripped in House-Senate negotiations, and the budget fails to win Senate approval as a result, Congress would be forced to operate without a budget, making it more difficult to control spending.

Reflecting the high stakes of this debate, the White House has been leaning on both Snowe and Collins.

After the vote in the Senate earlier this month, Collins said a White House official called “after the fact to protest my vote.” And Snowe said that she recently

No does it better

No one goes to 10 Final Fours in 19 years without a gift of foresightedness, but Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski's ability even trumps that of what one might expect of someone with that level of success. What Krzyzewski understands far better than any other current coach are the institutional forces of the NCAA tournament that separate the good regular season teams that make deep runs in the tournament from those that lose to overachieving mid-major universities.

The way the tournament is setup—a one and done system that requires only six victories to win a national championship—lends perfectly to quick teams that can skate around bigger and more physical players.

However, in conference tournaments where teams play as many as four games in as many days, the mantra is true that quick players slow down with fatigue but tall players are always tall. In these instances big and bulky teams can wear down their pesky opponents.

In the NCAA tournament, teams always have at least one day of rest between games.

This negates much of the advantage that tall players have with always being tall and quick players getting slower with fatigue. Tim Duncan’s Wake Forest squads are a perfect example of this phenomenon. The most dominating big man in the last 10 years of college basketball led his teams to back-toback ACC tournament championships during some of the most competitive years in conference history, but the two-time National Player of the Year never brought his team to a Final Four.

A more recent example are the defensiveminded Pittsburgh teams that are known for their slow offensive tempo that have been dominant in the regular season but have failed to advance to even an Elite Eight.

For this reason, Krzyzewski has always relied on guard play to fuel his team. These are the types of teams that fare well in tournament conditions, and these are the types of teams he produces.

When recruiting, Krzyzewski is not thinking of who will be the best players, but who will be the best tournament players.

A glaring counterargument to my claim is the back-to-back National Championships won by Duke while led by 6-foot-10 center Christian Laettner. It is true that those squads were highlighted by the current Washington Wizard, but those teams also included the likes of Bobby Hurley, Thomas Hill and Grant Hill. It was the ability of those players to knife and pretzel through opponents that truly allowed the Blue Devils to win championships. Having Laettner as a big man was just a giant luxury, and perhaps the reason Duke is the only back-to-back champion in the modem history of college basketball.

LOSS from page 1 how it feels to go out there every single year thinking you’re going to win the national championship and it doesn’t go your way,” said fellow senior Iciss Tillis who also exited the game crying just moments before Beard. “It hurts. It’s

really painful.”

But in the end, Minnesota outplayed the Blue Devils, ending a season that began with high expections.

“Coach [Pam Borton] said the most aggressive team’s going to win,” Minnesota’s star point guard Lindsey Whalen said of her coach. ‘That’s how we’ve played all year. We played loose, we played together. We had a lot of fun out there. We missed some shots, but we did some great things out there.”

Minnesota got the ball rolling from the very beginning, and the Blue Devils were left playing catch-up for 40 minutes. In the first half, Duke took more shots, but the Blue Devils were shooting 27.6 percent and Minnesota was draining 50 percent of its attempts. Duke was plagued by a number of dry spells in the first period, its largest being a six minute interval where it failed to capitalize on eight possessions, allowing the Gophers enough room to go on an 8-0 run and to set the pace: For the rest of the game, things were going to go their way. The 7-6 lead the Blue Devils held before Minnesota’s run was the last

of their season As for the Janel McCarville-Mistie Bass matchup, while Bass was racking up points at the post —with 11 in the first half to lead Duke—McCarville was doing that and then some. After the first half McCarville had contributed seven points, four assists and 12 rebounds. She was just as dangerous as she was predicted to be and even less containable.

In addition, when McCarville was crowded inside, Minnesota’s offense was quickly balanced by Whalen, who demonstrated exactly what the Gophers had missed in her five and a half week absence during the regular season due to a hand injury. With flawless backdoor drives, Whalen led Minnesota in scoring in the first half with 10 points.

“She made the good plays when it counted,” said Beard, who defended her.

“That’s the biggest part of her game is finding the lane.... She made the big plays and she did a great job.”

Duke came into the second half with some minor changes that came as a big relief. The Blue Devils went from zone defense to tight man-to-man, giving their offense a little more breathing room to catch up on the scoreboard. With two fouls on Mistie Bass, Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors put freshman Brittany Hunter on McCarville, who was predicted to be the Gopher’s largest weapon.

McCarville had already exceeded her expectations in the first half. But, coming

otL#abf off the bench, Hunter pulled down two rebounds—one on each end—scored two buckets and a put-back, and forced McCarville to turnover the ball when the Blue Devils were within four.

Shortly after Hunter’s entry, Monique Currie sunk a short turnaround jumper over her defender. More importantly, during her next drive to the basket, Currie laid into McCarville for a conventional three-point play that gave McCarville her fourth foul and sent her to the bench. With the center on the sidelines, the lane was a bit more open for Duke’s guards to drive.

‘This year we thought we really had it,” sophomore point guard Lindsey Harding said in the tense Duke locker room after the game. “Last year we thought Monique was the missing link, and obviously she played extremely well but it just wasn’t our time. We couldn’t make things fall.”

Again, Duke was stunted and Minnesota was able to pull away.

‘They hit all cylinders,” Goestenkors said. ‘They did a great job on defense and they hit their shots. Every time we made a run and tried to turn it they’d come back and make a huge three. I thought they just made huge threes and that really gave them the momentum they needed.”

The game became one of cat and mouse: The Gophers pulling away and the Blue Devils chasing after them.

Minnesota had an immediate response to Currie’s big play before the timeout and

scored seven consecutive points in a minute and half with no response on the other end of the court. Duke was forced to call another timeout at 10:08 and, thanks to five free throws and a trey by Vicki Krapohl, the Blue Devils climbed their way back to within two by the next timeout at 7:35, and finally found themselves on level playing ground, with the score knotted at 59.

But the final minute of the game was the same old story. After balding it out for six minutes, Duke found itself within two with 1:02 left on the game clock. Whalen played big again, weaving by the Blue Devils’ stagnant full court press and sunk a layup. Beard missed a three with 47.8 seconds left and Duke was forced to foul McCarville, who sunk l-of-2 free throws.

Tillis knocked down a short jumper in the paint to make it a one possession game again before fouling out on the next press, which led to two more free throws from Whalen. From 75-70, the Blue Devils hit two more shots and Minnesota went 7-for-8 from the line.

Duke’s field goal percentage improved to 60.7 percent in the second half but it was too little too late: They were simply outdone in too many areas and the team returns to Durham without an invite to the Final Four.

“I am just disappointed for them,” Goestenkors said. “I think we wanted to win a national championship for them. I feel so badly for them more than anything.”

Blue Devils knock off High Point with hot bats by

Sarah Kwak

THE CHRONICLE

As it rained on Jack Coombs Field yesterday afternoon, the baseball team (IBIS) beat High Point (5-23) in a comefrom-behind 12-7 win. Taking advantage of the Panthers’ weak pitching staff, the Blue Devils were able to pick up 12 runs off only seven hits. Tony Bajoczk picked up his first win of the season and Justin DiLucchio, who recorded the save, pitched four solid innings in which he allowed only one run.

“Especially after last weekend at Maryland, where we had a couple tough ACC losses, it was really good to come out and win,” DiLucchio said. “Even though we came out a little slow, but we knew that was a game we should win and that we really needed it going into a tough game against Elon tomorrow and this weekend against Virginia.”

High Point struck first in the second inning with five runs to give the Panthers an early lead. Duke’s Danny Otero, usually a relief pitcher, started the game and gave up five runs off six hits in three innings. However, because of two errors on the field, Otero, who had not seen much time on the mound in over three weeks, only gave up one earned run.

Duke answered back in the bottom of the third with a run, but it was the fourth inning that turned the game around for the Blue Devils. Mike Miello, Bryan Smith and Brian Hernandez had loaded the bases, and with two outs, Panther pitcher Phil Leake walked Corey Whiting, which scored the first run.

Clayton Gordner relieved Leake only to face Adam Murray, who ripped a triple into the rightfield hole. Murray brought in three runs, the last of which tied the game. Javier Socorro brought Murray home with a single to rightfield, putting the Blue Devils ahead. “[Murray’s hit] was a clutch hit,” head coach Bill Hillier said. “It tied the game up and kind of broke [High Point’s] back. I’m glad to see him start swinging the bat and getting good looks.”

Though High Point answered back with another run to tie the game at six, the Panthers’ pitching helped the Blue Devils score another six runs. Contrasted against the two walks Duke allowed, Leake and Gordner combined for seven of the team’s nine walks. The inconsistency of High Point’s pitching, hitting two Duke batters, allowed the Blue Devils to score in the later innings.

In the bottom of the fifth, with the game tied, Duke was able to capitalize on a couple of Panther errors, as High Point was able to do in the second inning. Smith led off the inning and hit a soft grounder that was fielded and overthrown by the pitcher. He later stole third on a wild pitch to Hernandez, who was hit by one of the subsequent pitches. Adam Loftin drew a walk and the bases were loaded again.

After a sacrifice fly, a passed ball and another High Point error, Duke was able to score another three runs, putting it ahead for the remainder of the game.

Though they didn’t play in optimal conditions or at an optimal level, the Blue Devils were still able to come away with a win.

PITCHERS OFF TO GOOD START by

Sarah Kwak

THE CHRONICLE

It’s said all too often that a baseball team is only as good as its pitching staff.

The Blue Devils, about half way through their season, are only three wins away from equaling last season’s total, and the pitching staff has provided the base-

ball team with the strong foundation it needs. With regular starters Zach Schreiber, Greg Burke, Tim Layden, and Kevin Thompson, Duke has a strong rotation, as three of the four have earned three wins apiece. The middle relievers —Justin DiLucchio, David Torcise, Billy Muldowney, and Tony Bajoczky —combine for a stingy 2.77 ERA and a 3-2 record, and the two closers, Danny Otero and Tony Bajoczky, have each earned three saves this season. Though still struggling with consistency, the pitching staff has greatly improved from years past.

In the past few seasons, the pitching staff has not been as healthy as it is now. Burke sat out last season to rehabilitate his arm from elbow surgery, and Thompson has also battled with injury in the past few years.

“We’re playing pretty good right now,” head coach Bill Hillier said. “We’re healthy, and that’s been a key [to our success]. Since I’ve been here as head coach, we’ve always had key players down injured. Right now, we don’t have any starters, knock on wood, [hurt] —and our backups are healthy, too. So that helps a lot.”

This season, Layden leads the team with 43 strikeouts, but Burke is not at all far behind, recording 42 K’s of his own. The four starting pitchers have combined for 134 strikeouts in 141 innings. They have a combined ERA of 4.21 and a 9-7 record. The senior Schreiber recently pitched a complete game against then-No. 17 N.C. State and held the Wolfpack to only one run. That performance earned him ACC Pitcher of the Week recognition, an honor last received by a Duke pitcher in 2001.

“We got a great staff this year led by a our senior class,” Walker said. “They’ve been doing a good job, especially our starters, of going out and giving us a lot of innings.”

Also contributing to the team’s success is the experience of the pitching staff.

“Our top starters are guys that have been in the program for three years, so we kind of know what to expect out ofus,” Schreiber said. “We’ve been through the fire.

We know the ropes. We’ve been through it all. So, I think that’s one of our biggest assets, our experience.”

Though the team has many years under its belt, it also boasts a promising crop of younger pitchers who have certainly stepped up to the calling. Freshmen Otero, Muldowney, Bajoczky and Torcise have all seen time on the mound this season. Otero leads the youthful pack with 21 strikeouts, the fourth highest of the pitching staff. Bajoczky boasts a 1.80 ERA, and sophomore Russell Durfee, who has also been recovering fronTan injury, has had some solid innings on the mound.

“I think it’s great that we have such a big pitching staff this year because being a starter, if you get into some trouble, you always know that there are people there to back you up,” Schreiber said. “But also as a starter, your goal has to be to go out and try to get at least seven innings every start so that you don’t have to put as much pressure on the bullpen to perform.”

But with depth on the mound, the Blue Devils have plenty to fall back on when their starters are in a bind.

And so, the strength of the bullpen—and consequently, the team—continues to show improvement.

Blue Devils take Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE

by

The No. 3 women’s tennis team will take on a surging 22nd-ranked Wake Forest squad at 5 p.m. today.

The Blue Devils, currently in the midst of an ACC winning streak that encompasses their last 17 dual matches, will host the last team that beat them: the Demon Deacons, almost exactly five years ago. Wake Forest, for its part, is climbing through the national rankings thanks to its most recent victories, over 23rd-ranked Notre Dame and No. 9 North Carolina.

“They’re fairly young, and have always been a good team,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth said of the Wake Forest squad. “They beat North Carolina, and they beat us six years ago, when we had won 116 straight ACC matches. It’s always a good match with Wake Forest.”

The Blue Devils will be a hard team to beat, as Duke victories have been relying on a deep lineup that makes few mistakes.

“We’re strong all the way down the line,” sophomore Julia Smith said. “If we aren’t winning matches at one or two, we’ve been winning them at five or six. And we’ve been strong at doubles; it’s good to get the doubles point.”

The Blue Devils’ top player is senior Amanda Johnson, who is currently ranked seventh in the nation. She is 8-6 on the year and has lost her last two matches. Johnson is backed up by Smith, junior Saras Arasu,

on young

and surging Wake

freshmen Jennifer Zika and Tory Zawacki, who have combined for 44 singles wins this season. Johnson will square off against freshman sensation and ACC Player of the Week Ashlee Davis, who is coming off a straight-set victory over Notre Dame’s lOth-ranked Alicia Salas last week.

“We’re continuing to try and fight hard, continuing to be real positive,” Johnson said. “We’ve been doing that all year.”

Duke has advantages going into the match besides the higher ranking and the winning streak. Wake Forest has dropped its last five meetings with the Blue Devils, and is 2-44 in the overall series, logging a dismal .043 winning percentage against Duke, which will try to continue the trend tonight.

“We’re trying to get better from the beginning,” Ashworth said. ‘We want to put people in trouble right from the start: first few points ofevery game, first few games of every set.”

The Blue Devils are coming off a 43 win over Florida State that has shown the Blue Devils what aspects of their games need work.

“We’re working on a few things,” Ashworth said. We’ve struggled at the one-, two- and three-spots, and we want to keep winning that doubles point.

The recent struggles of the Blue Devils and success of the Demon Deacons has Duke’s players on guard.

ANTHONY CROSS/THE ‘They’re a good team,” said Smith.

SarasArasu and the No. 3 Duke women's tennis team will take on Wake Forest today at home.

‘They’re always a good team.”

late for their soft interior play and inability to rebound. This is an inadequate critique. Rebounding and post play are extremely important in the regular season. They are an important factor in determining conference tournament champions, and are two biggest components of creating an NBA championship team that does not include Michael Jordan, as Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Duncan have shown by winning the last five World Championships.

But in the NCAA tournament, post play and rebounding only need to be sound to win games for teams with good guards. One might point to the 2002 Duke team that fell in the Sweet 16 to Indiana after being dominated by Jared Jefferies in the paint as evidence for the falsity of this theory.

But that Blue Devil squad had already won a National Championship, and Krzyzewski has only recently publicly admitted that that team was less hungry than the current Dukies are. If you don’t want to win badly, you’re not going to win a National Championship. Krzyzewski, the best architect of Final Four squads, constructs his team with dominant guards and solid post players because that’s what wins tournament games. Just look at the 2004 Blue Devils’ tournament run. Both Xavier and. Illinois outrebounded Duke, but through superior and quicker guard play, Duke prevailed to yet another Final Four.

The same can be seen from other recent Final Four squads. Connecticut’s best player is center Emeka Okarfor, but because of his injury, the Huskies’ guards are the reason they are back in the Final Four. Oklahoma State is led by their guards, picking up solid contributions from their interior players. The same can be said of Georgia Tech’s team this year. In regards to last season, does anyone legitimately think Syracuse had a better inside game than the Nick Collison-led Jayhawk squad? The Orangemen won their first national title by outquicking the slowerKansas players, just as every champion in recent history has done.

Criticize Krzyzewski all you want for not developing centers. His formula of combining dominant guards with solid post players is the reason why every Duke nucleus of players in recent years—Brand (quickest post player of his era), Langdon and Avery; Battier, Williams, Dunleavy and Boozer squads; Duhon, Redick, Shelden Williams and Daniel Ewing —have all reached at least one Final Four.

One must be very careful when generalizing all the events of BSAI weekend as mimicking the idea of“blackness.” Upon reading ‘The Big Show: Blackness at Duke,” two questions come to mind; Do the authors Yousuf Al-Bulushi, Ekua Annan, and Zachari Curtis truly know and appreciate the events of BSAI weekend?

And does either of the authors actively participate in the Black Student Alliance?

Aside from events like the fashion show and the step show, BSAI provides Dean’s sessions, FOCUS brunches, faculty mixers and other programs created to disseminate information to prospective students. For one person to rightfully cast judgment on the African American culture ofDuke University or the Black Student Alliance, he or she should at least have some experience with the community that is being judged.

For the authors to view the AfricanAmerican community here at Duke as a “uniformed blackness” contained under the “myth of unity” is only a perpetuation of the closed mindedness that we here at Duke are

attempting to escape. We are the crops sown by the labor of our ancestors through the years of suffering and oppression by a nation of ignorance, striving to become successful people in all spectrums of life—not to become the “new Black bourgeoisie class.” Annan and Curtis obviously feel that step shows and fashion shows embrace the

“hyper-masculinity, homophobia, and lack of privilege” in the African-American community, but they fail to mention the academic seminars and informational sessions that comprised the majority of the weekend.

Instead of criticizing BSAI, the aforementioned authors should propose solutions to the “so-called” problem by becoming active members in an organization that represents the black community as a whole. But then again, that may be too “unified” of a thing to do.

Duke should establish a unique identity This may come as a shock to administracampus-wide, but I never wanted to go to Yale. If I had, I would have applied. But when I was searching for an academic and social institution at which to spend four years of my life, Yale did not appeal to me.

When I read the article about the college communities at Yale, the communities that Duke is currently trying to foster in its quad system, I cringed. I remember the “community” that Duke threw me into when I was a freshman, the community in which I felt alone and out of place.

I remember feeling like it was my fault that I didn’t fit in. I remember trying to change myself, trying to conform. And I remember how unhappy I was. It wasn’t until I found a new community made up of people who chose to live together that I finally discovered a place for myself at Duke.

scheme to force community upon us, they forget we are not only willing and able, but also deserve to make choices. We should have the right to choose the community that makes us the most comfortable and the happiest.

No one should be discouraged from living with friends outside their freshman dorm. No one should be forbidden from living on Central or off-campus. And no living groups should be made to feel like their presence is a plague within our “community.” We are old enough and responsible enough to know what is best for ourselves; and we chose to go to Duke, not Yale.

If I turn on a Duke basketball game 10 years from now and hear the students chanting “Let’s go Kilgo” instead of “Let’s go Duke,” I am cutting offmy donations. That’s a threat.

women’s team for a great season

We came here last year avid women’s basketball fans. We’d been to the final fours, we’d cheered for all the greats, we’d played in high school and watched the birth of the women’s professional league. But the past two years have added an element to our experiences as women’s basketball fans.

Watching the women’s team play in Cameron, on TV and on the road have been an integral part of our Duke lives. We screamed for you in common rooms, on creaky Cameron benches, and falling apart ‘Dillo chairs. We have bonded over the wins, the losses and all of the amazing record breaking moments.

Even though the season is over the women have done immeasurable things for not only the Duke community but for women’s basketball as a whole. The season was an amazing one: the return of Monique Currie, the last second win over UConn, Alana’s record

breakers, Vicki’s crazy threes and Iciss’s determined batde back into an offensive power.

For the Duke Student body we hope that you saw the last game for the seniors, some of the best players in the nation. We also hope that you will grow to appreciate the women’s team as you do the men’s and give them the same level of respect because they deserve it.

To the Duke seniors thank you for four amazing years of play. You’ve turned this team into one of the premiere programs in the nation. Thank you for four straight ACC titles.

Those were cool.

We look forward to more unforgettable years of women’s basketball at this school.

You’ve always been a joy to watch and you always will be.

Others are your run of the mill gossips—anytime, anyplace, they’re ready to talk. They make sure to find girls who will indulge their tattling and get giddy when they have an especially juicy tidbit to tell.

One of the more surprising findings is the way guys deal with confrontation.

Rather than follow the typical “punch him in the face and everything is legit tomorrow” scenario, a lot of guys bottle it up and pout for days. We’re talking fullon cold shoulder treatment, complete with dirty looks. This huff-and-puff heel stomping often takes place between guy and girl friends, but many have been known to display this behavior in intragender conflicts.

Lastly you have the superficial aspects, like the boyfriend who takes longer to get

dressed and ready than you, or the guy who only wears certain labels in his attempt to look casually perfect while masking hyper high maintenance.

The issue at hand is not that certain guys act feminine, or the ever-intelligent idea that men can be bitches too. And it’s not a certain sect of society—like the irritating term metrosexual. What we have here is a case of gender-based behavior that is actually universal. As it turns out, those female flaws are inherent in all of Us. So, before you males make quick to chastise your girl friends, realize that it’s likely you do the same things. However, this is not a case of two wrongs make a right. These qualities are not the ones a person wants to display. But we’re all works in progress, and hopefully with time, we’ll move past the petty stuff boys and girls alike.

on this campus. Even The Chronicle columns can be pretty harsh towards them. However, how much of it is actually deserved? Fraternities, and especially sororities, are often filed under a singe adjective. You have the sluty one, the wild one, the boring one, etc. To prove my point, let’s try a little experiment.

Turn around and ask a few people to tell you who comes to their mind when you ask them to think of a slutty sorority. I’m absolutely positive that in 95 percent of cases, they will name the same one or two sororities.

You really think this is a coincidence? Now, many greeks may argue that this is a stereotype, and maybe they’re right. Maybe it isn’t true anymore. However, one has to acknowledge the fact that, if it isn’t true now, then it must have been true in the past.

That’s the whole point! I have started out by defending stereotypes, but I am by no means endorsing them.

Nor am I suggesting that we should just sit back and let people think what they want regardless of how true it is.

I wouldn’t be writing for a paper if I didn’t think that individuals were capable of changing things around. However, there is a right and wrong way to go about doing this. Nothing is accomplished if upon encountering a stereotype you vilify the other person and victimize yourself. Before trying to change something, first make sure that it is actually wrong, and if that is the case, then accept the fact that it probably did come from something that was true in the past.

With this in mind, the only thing you can do is be an exception, a living proof of its falsity. You yourself have to be the change you want to see—that is the only way that anything will actually change.
