the from mental exhaustion of being bigtime Division I athletes. And in that time, the Blue Devils may prefer to get away from the game a bit—or they may take 500 shots a day. One thing is for certain, however: they’ll all remember their loss to Connecticut, and remember it well. “It’s a tough feeling and it hurts, it hurts so bad,” sophomore Sean Dockery said. “But we’re still living and life goes on. We’ve got to play with this pain through the whole season next year. Even though I hate talking about next year now, but we’ve just got to play with this pain next year and get over it.” And why will this hurt so badly? Because Duke was in control of the game with four minutes remaining, despite being strapped with foul problems virtually the entire night. This loss will sting more than most because the Blue Devils had been the predetermined underdogs by nearly all of the renowned media pundits, and Duke was right there at the end of the *

SAN ANTONIO, Texas drove into the lane, trying to penetrate through a clutter of Connecticut defenders, but before he was able to hoist a shot, the ball was stripped from his hands. “You’re either trying to score or you’re trying to get fouled or both,” Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t You get any. know, to me that \ was the game FINAL FOUR right there.” As the ball caromed out of bounds with just seconds remaining, Duke’s run toward a national championship came to an abrupt end. A pair of Rashad Anderson free throws extended Connecticut’s lead. Redick attempted a three to level the score, but his closely guarded shot barely grazed the front of the rim. Denying Krzyzewski’s bid to tie Dean Smith’s record of 65 NCAA Tournament victories, the Huskies (32-6) topped the Blue Devils (31-6) 79-78 Saturday night in the Final Four. Connecticut will meet Georgia Tech, which slid past Oklahoma State 67-65 during Saturday’s earlier national semifinal, for the National Championship tonight. The Blue Devils held an eight-point lead after Chris Duhon hit a pair of free throws with 3:28 left on the clock. Duke would not score for the remainder of the game with die exception of a last-second three to end the contest During that stretch, the Huskies went on a 12-0 run that included the basPHOTOS BY BETSYMCDONALD AND ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE kets by Wooden Award finalist Duke guard Daniel Ewing (above) cannot watch as the UConn Huskies celebrate their 79-78 victory over Emeka Okafor that pulled the the Blue Devils in the Final Four.

Both men were on a wanted list of six men believed to have orchestrated the March 11 attacks, which ripped apart four commuter trains, killing 191 and injuring more than 1,400. So far 15 suspects, mainly of Moroccan descent, have been jailed in an investigation that has focused on the militant Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, which is thought to have links to al-Qaeda and to have been responsible for suicide bombings last year in Casablanca that killed more than 30. ‘The core of the group that carried out the attacks is either under arrest or

The investigation will now focus, he said, on the arrest of other members of the group who may still be at large, their possible collaborators and any connections with international terrorist groups. Acebes said a third body had been identified as that of Asri Rifaat Anouar. He was not on the list of key suspects, but is believed to be part of the same group. DNA experts are still trying to identity the fourth man, found next to a nearby swimming pool with 4.4 pounds of explosives strapped around his badly mutilated

Near the holy city of Najaf, a gun battle at a Spanish garrison killed at least 22 people, including two coalition soldiers—an American and a Salvadoran. Fighting in the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City killed seven U.S. soldiers and wounded at least 24, the U.S. military said in a written statement. A resident said two Humvees were seen burning in the neighborhood, and that some American soldiers had taken refuge in a building. The report could not be independently confirmed, and it was unclear whether the soldiers involved were those who died.

THE CHRONICLE
It’s “Weeks” season at Duke The recent abundance of “Weeks” week-long programs that fall under certain themes, such as health or sexual assault—has been quite noticeable,. students say, and with good justification. Sexual Assault Prevention Week occurred alongside Hinduism Awareness Week just last week. The week before that, Health Awareness Week shared the spotlight with South Asian Awareness Week. And today is the first day of the Center for Race Relations Week. These are just several of the awareness and prevention weeks that have been occurring on campus ever since students returned from spring break. Some students, like junior Sravan Kakani, think the cluster of events can prove less effective in terms of outreach and turnout. “I know I kind of got overwhelmed,” he said, “especially with everything occurring towards the end of the semester.” Junior April Mims admitted she became a little confused during the constant barrage ofprograms. “At the end of the year, there’s a lot of stuff piling on,” she said. ‘There are people walking around and wearing ribbons, and I lose count of what they stand for—is it breast cancer, or AIDS, or something else?” Others, however, thought placing the awareness and prevention weeks in proximity to each other made sense. There’s a wealth of activities,” said senior Stacy Clark. “You go down the [Bryan Center] walkway, and there are people advertising all these events. You know about all the things that are going on.” “In theory, it’s a good idea,” addedVictor Chiang, a junior. “It becomes easier to find out about an event that you’re interested in.” This seeming convergence of keynote addresses, workshops and campaigns, however, was mostly unintentional. Organizers Amy Soni, a senior, and Aarti Asnani, also a senior, explained that Hinduism Awareness Week was centered around two religious holidays: Ram Namavi, which took place Friday, and Holi, —

derstand that Duke has a lot of [awareness] weeks going on. We definitely did not plan it thinking we wanted to compete with other weeks.” Seugupta also noted that the warmer weather at this time of year contributed to the turnout, nodding at the information kiosk set up in front of Alpine Bagels. “It’s a good time in general because we need to be outside.” But he added that one week was not enough. “If we had it our way, [SAPW] would be 365 days a year,” Seugupta said. “It’s one of those things where we say Prevention Week should be every week.” Several of the awareness weeks are new. The first ever Hinduism Awareness Week at Duke finished yesterday, and taking flight today is the University’s first Center for Race Relations Week, offering dialogues on race, gender/sexuality, nationality and religion. “We feel like we address a lot of issues
Members of the Duke and Durham communities came together Friday afternoon to discuss the comforts and costs of security on local, national and international levels. Panelists paid particular attention to the harm in adopting an “us versus them” mindset that isolates those who fear from those who are feared. “No doubt we derive comfort from feeling safe in myriad ways,” said Srinivas Aravamudan, director of the Franklin Humanities Institute, who moderated the panel discussion. “However, these comforts are never cost-free.” Though a perennial topic of discussion, security has became a more prominent issue on campus since a student was robbed at gunpoint in the Bryan Center in November 2003. Last month, two female students reported sexual assaults on campus, leading some to question if the University’s already intensified security measures were enough. Others, however, have questioned if the school’s heightened security alert is creating a rift between Duke and the rest of Durham. “Some are wondering if Duke is trying to isolate itself from Durham. Others are wondering if Duke is using security as a pretext to do so,” said John Schelp, president of the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association, to an audience of about 50 people. Susan Kauffman, special assistant to the senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, addressed Schelp’s concerns, stressing that Duke has no intention of closing off its campus to the Durham community. She noted that the Duke Forest and Sarah P. Duke Gardens are open to the public

The Pinwheel Project was part oflast week'sSexual Assault Prevention Week. which occurred just yesterday. “Because those events were at this time of the year, we thought it’d be nice to have our week [coincide with their week],” Soni said. The two were inspired by a regional conference held in 2001 on Hinduism. “We were thinking of having a similar conference this year,” Asnani said. “But we decided to keep it more limited to Duke’s campus and we thought this would be the best way of doing that.” By keeping the week based around Duke and Durham, Soni believes this forced people to be more receptive to what they are presenting. “I don’t know how to say this properly,” Soni began, “but if you throw something at people a lot, they tend to think about it more.” “Right, like immerse them,” Asnani

Summer 'Ol terror response under question by
David
Johnston
and Eric Schmitt NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON On July 5, 2001, as threats of an imterrorist attack against the United States were pourpending ing into Washington, D.C. Condoleezza Rice, the nadonal security adviser, and Andrew Card, Jr, the president’s chief of staff, summoned top officials from many domestic agencies to a meeting in the White House Situation Room. Even though the warnings focused mostly on threats .overseas, Rice and Card wanted the FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Customs Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and other organizations put on alert inside the United States. Rice and Card did not attend the meeting, run by Richard Clarke, the White House counterterrorism coordinator. When the meeting broke up, several new security advisories were issued, including a bulletin warning of an increased risk ofair hijackings intended to free terrorists imprisoned in the U.S. That was as far as the George W. Bush administration ever got to placing the nation on high alert before the attacks of Sept. 11,2001. The issue of whether the July 5 meeting and the actions that preceded and followed it were a reasonable response to the gathering threat in the summer of 2001 now lie at the heart of the independent inquiry into the terror attacks. Rice will be questioned intensively about these matters when she appears in public for the first time before the independent commission investigating the 2001 attacks Thursday, according to members of the commission. A review of the Bush administration’s deliberations and acdons in the summer of 2001, based on interviews with current and former officials and an examination of the preliminary findings of the commission, shows that the White House’s impulse to deal more forcefully with terror threats within the United States peaked on July 5 and leveled off after that until Sept. 11. The review shows that over that summer, with terror warnings mounting, the government’s response was often scattered and inconsistent as the new administration struggled to develop a comprehensive strategy for combating al-Qaeda and other terror organizations. The warnings during the summer were more dire and more specific than generally recognized. Descriptions of the threat were communicated repeatedly to the highest levels within the White House. In more than 40 briefings, Bush was told by George Tenet, the director of central intelligence, of threats involving jd-Qaeda. The review suggests that the government never collected in one place all the information that was flowing into Washington about al-Qaeda and its interest in using commercial aircraft to carry out attacks, and about extremist
groups’ interest in pilot training. A congressional inquiry into intelligence activities before Sept. 11 found 12 reports over a seven-year period suggesting that terrorists might use airplanes as weapons. There were also no specific new military plans for attacking al-Qaeda forces or the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. The Pentagon’s top priorities that summer were developing a national missile defense plan and conducting a broad strategy and budget review. Military planners had previously offered a comprehensive plan to incorporate military, economic, diplomatic and political activities to pressure the Taliban to expel al-Qaeda’s leader, Osama bin Laden. But the plan was never acted on by either the Clinton or Bush administrations. Money to finance counterterrorism efforts was limited. The White House Office of Management and Budget said in a report in August 2001 that counterterrorism programs were having difficulty competing for money with traditional domestic programs. Richard Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism coordinator, described the summer of 2001 in his new book and in testimony last month to the commission. He said it was a time when his own Counterterrorism Security Group within the White House was at battle stations, but the broader policy deliberations continued at what he viewed as a plodding pace. Rice has said in interviews and recent exchanges with reporters that Clarke was wrong and that the White House had energetically sought to respond to terrorist threats as it moved ahead to prepare its strategy to deal with al-Qaeda and its hosts in Afghanistan. Rice has said that Clarke offered a more positive assessment ofWhite House actions in a note he sent her on Sept. 15, four days after the attacks. Clarke said in the note, “When the era of national unity begins to crack in the near future, it is possible that some will start asking questions like, did the White House do a good job of making sure that intelligence about terrorist threats got to the FAA and other domestic law enforcement authorities.” He added, “We convened on 5 July a special meeting offederal law enforcement agencies because we could not rule out the possibility that the attack would come in the United States.” What follows is a review of the events of the summer of 2001, based on interviews, the congressional report and testimony before the independent commission: On March 7, 2001, President Bush’s national security team, cautioned by CIA officials and departing aides to President Bill Clinton that terrorism would be a serious problem, met for the first time to begin a broad review of the government’s approach to al-Qaeda and Afghanistan. Stephen Hadley, Rice’s deputy, told the congressional committee, ‘The goal was to move beyond the policy of con-
tainment, criminal prosecution and limited retaliation for specific attacks, toward attempting to roll back al-Qaeda.”
Other aides said in interviews that the approach was
two-pronged and included a crisis warning effort to deal with immediate threats and longer-range planning by senior officials to put into place a comprehensive strategy to eradicate al-Qaeda. Clarke was in charge of responding to immediate threats, one senior official said. He had been counterterrorism chief in the Clinton administration, and Rice had decided to keep him in the job because she wanted continuity. “It was because everyone respected Dick Clarke and knew he was a pile driver,” the official said. The warnings began almost immediately. In March, the CIA said that “a group of bin Laden operatives was planning to conduct an unspecified attack in the United States in April 2001. One operative allegedly resided in the United States,” according to the congressional report. The CIA warnings created what the congressional report called “a stressful summer.” Between May and July, the National Security Agency, which eavesdrops on communications around the world, reported 33 communications suggesting “a possibly imminent terrorist attack,” according to the congressional report, without providing specific details about how, when or where an attack might occur. Some warnings seemed highly credible. One intelligence report in May indicated that bin Laden’s followers were planning to infiltrate the U.S. from Canada to carry out an attack using high explosives—a report that resonated with the arrest in December of 1999 of Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian living in Canada, who was caught with explosive chemicals trying to enter the country near Seattle.

KARACHI, Pakistan Suspected Islamic extremists stormed a police station in the southern city ofKarachi Sunday and killed five police, forcing their victims to recite Quranic verses before shooting them, authorities said. Police officials indicated they suspected Lashkar-e-Janghvi, a militant group linked to al-Qaeda that had recently been the target of a police roundup. “We suspect that they are the same whose accomplices have been arrested by police,” Syed Kamil Shah, provincial police inspector-general, told reporters, while declining to name the group outright. The attack left pools of blood and bul-
let-scarred walls at the police station, a small building near the airport at Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city and the frequent scene of regional violence. Survivors —including two men who had been in detention at the station, and one police officer who had been at morning prayers —said 10 gunmen stormed the building around dawn. The attackers shouted “We will not leave any police alive” and opened fire, officer Khaliq Shaikh told The Associated Press. The men forced their victims to recite Quranic verses for a few seconds before shooting them at close range, Shah said. Two officers and three constables died. Police Officer Mohammed Hussain, who had been at prayer, told AP he
picked up his weapon and returned fire from the prayer room. Hussain, who suffered a bullet wound to the arm, said he shot one attacker. The amount of blood outside led police to believe one assailant had been fatally wounded, although accomplices took him from the scene, said police deputy inspectorgeneral Tariq Jamil. Authorities later recovered one vehicle that the attackers abandoned after they fled, Shah said. The owner of the vehicle, a banker, gave a description of the men who took it, he said. Authorities stepped up security at police stations around Karachi. A port city of 14 million, Karachi has seen a series of attacks by Islamic extremists in recent years.
On March 15, police defused a huge bomb outside the U.S. Consulate in Karachi minutes before it was set to explode. Police have not announced any arrests. A suicide bomber blew up a truck in front of the consulate in June 2002, killing 14 Pakistanis. In April 2002, a bomb aimed at the motorcade of Pakistan’s President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, a vital ally in the U.S. war on terrorism, failed to detonate as he traveled through Karachi. Three Islamic militants were sentenced to 10 years in prison in that attempt. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has been linked to a series of deadly attacks on Christians in Pakistan and on members of the country’s Shiite minority.
Web engines to end ads for online gambling by
Matt Richtel
NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO Google and Yahoo, two of the widely used Web search engines, have decided to stop running advertisements for online casinos, a shift that could dampen the growth ofInternet gambling. The move, which the companies said would go into effect by the end of April, comes as federal prosecutors are threatening action against American companies that do business with Internet casinos based abroad. The prosecutors are arguing that the American companies are “aiding and abetting” offshore Internet casinos, whose operations are illegal in the United States. Prosecutors started a grand Jury investigation last year, issuing subpoenas to American broadcasters, publishers and Web sites that run advertisements for online casinos. most
Executives from Yahoo, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., and Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., declined to say whether they have been subjects of the investigation. The fact that both companies announced the change in policy Friday appeared to be coincidental. Jennifer Stephens, a spokesperson for Overture, a Yahoo subsidiary that sells paid sponsored links for Yahoo, said the change was the result of a “lack of clarity” in the legal and regulatory environment. Overture also provides advertising links to MSN, the Internet access division of Microsoft. Stephens said that it would no longer provide casino advertising to MSN, and MSN confirmed it would, as a result, stop running the advertisements. Stephens said Yahoo would cease running casino advertisements on its U.S. Web site, but it would continue to run online casino advertising on its Web sites published in
dozens of countries where Internet casinos are legal. Google executives, however, said Friday that they would stop running Internet gambling advertisements in all markets. A spokesperson for Google, David Krane, said the policy change was part of an effort to “reflect the growth of our company and ensure we provide the best search experience for our users and advertisers.” A spokesperson for Lycos, another large search engine, said Friday that the company had decided in the last few months to stop running gambling advertisements, but declined to give details on when the company stopped publishing the ads or why it had made the decision. Search engine companies, broadcasters and experts who follow the Internet gambling industry said the loss of advertising was not big enough to make a major difference to the profits of American broadcasters and publishers.

ISOLATION from page 3 and that hundreds of Duke students and employees volunteer in Durham. “We are told by an increasing number of people from the Durham community that they’ve never seen Duke so engaged with Durham,” Kauffman said. “At the same time, we need to balance safety issues on campus so we can ensure a safe environment for students to learn and work and for patients who come for treatment at the Duke Hospital.” Kauffman added that thousands of Duke employees and many students live within the Durham community. “When you talk about Duke, you’re talking about Durham residents,” she said. “It’s a false dichotomy.” Panelists were asked to explore the connections between campus security measures and strategies adopted on a national and international level since Sept. 11, 2001. For many, this meant talking about the barriers, both physical and invisible, that have been constructed in the name of security.
Rania Masri, director of the Southern Peace Research and Education Center at the Institute for Southern Studies, spoke passionately against a wall currendy being constructed to separate the Palestinians from the Israelis. She noted that although the wall is being constructed in the name of security, over 100 Israeli officials have argued that the wall will not make anyone safer. “But what if it makes it safer?” she said. “Does that justify having children play in the shadow of the wall? No.” Wahneema Lubiano, associate professor ofAfrican and African American studies, said Americans are currendy living in the “psychosis of a fortress state, a bully nation, all wrapped in a false notion of safety.” The mindset of the nation, she said, inevitably affects the mindset of Duke, eliciting more fear of the Durham community than is warranted. “We have more to fear from Enron and John Ashcroft and what they might do to the nation than what the rest of Durham may do to Duke,” she said, nodng that Duke is producing students who increasingly see themselves as potential victims. “Duke is doing its small part in training stu-

dents to be bad citizens of the world. Fortress Duke, fortress U.S.A.” Lubiano said her own vulnerability and need for comfort could not be allowed to justify walling off her fears. Stephane Robolin, a graduate student who is originally from France but who has been studying in the United States for many years, recounted a recent episode in which he was detained while traveling because he was not carrying proper documentation of his right to be in the United States. The spectacle of his interrogation, he said, served both to remind the citizenry of an invisible threat and to assure the public that the threat was being addressed. ‘The appearance of security that is at play here is over and above the actual achievement of it,” Robolin said. He added that the incident raised questions of “us” versus “them” because he, as a light-skinned and educated foreigner, was released relatively quickly despite his inability to produce proper documentation. He wondered if a darker-skinned, less educated person would have been so easily dismissed. “When the line is drawn between insiders and outsiders, who exactly falls in the circle of protection and who falls outside? And who gets to draw the line?” he asked. A number of panelists noted that though the nation and the University have put a lot of emphasis on keeping danger out, many people remain blind to the dangers that come from within their own communities. “It’s still important to recognize that stranger rape or assault is not the most common,” said Donna Lisker, director of the Women’s Center. “By far the most common is one student on another, typically fueled by alcohol consumption in away that is considered the ‘normal’ social scene.” Lisker added that while she does not want to send a message to students to be afraid, she sometimes wished they had a little more fear when it came to dealing with a familiar social scene. On a similar note, Martina Dunford, executive director of New Horizons School in Durham, noted that people need to exercise common sense in order to provide for their own safety. “People need to understand that be you black, white, Jewish or gentile, you should not be walking around the street alone,” she said. ‘Just please take some precautions. Don’t panic. Just be careful and still enjoy life.” Dunford said the recent stir about security on Duke’s campus need not be taken as a sign that Durham is becoming more dangerous and must therefore be avoided. “It may be a good thing that it’s taken [Duke] longer to realize there’s a security problem than it has taken [the rest of Durham],” she said. “But if the United States can come under attack, what makes you think Duke can’t come under attack?”
TRUMAN SCHOLARS from page 4 Vitarelli said he was “blown away” by receiving the award. “When you’re competing against a group of students of such high caliber, it’s a humbling honor,” he said. “It made me very thankful for everyone who had helped me so far.” Associate Professor of the Practice of English Melissa Malouf, who heads Duke’s nomination process, said both Kurian and Vitarelli were highly deserving winners. “I didn’t know Anthony until I read his impressive preliminary Truman application,” Malouf said. “But when he came into the room for the on-campus interview, I knew that I was in the presence of a future political leader whose integrity and whose sense of right and wrong—in various arenas—was simply breathtaking. “Prior to the on-campus selection process, I’d met Phil,” she continued, “but it was during the process that I learned the specifics of his commitment to education reform at the primary and secondary school level. Phil is the kind of leader who believes in dialogue but is not content with mere talk—he makes things happen.” In addition to $2,000 for senior year and $24,000 for graduate study, Kurian and Vitarelli will also receive priority7 admission and supplemental financial aid at some top graduate institutions, leadership training, career and graduate school counseling and special internship opportunities within the federal government.

Janangelo, Duke take another tourney Red hot in Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE
by
The top-ranked women’s golf team turned the Bryan National in Collegiate Browns Summit, N.C., into the Duke Invitational this weekend, earning a fourteenstroke victory over the nearest competitor. Three of the tournament’s top six finishers were Blue Devils, and sophomore sensation Liz Janangelo won the individual title. The Duke victory was a wire-to-wire win, with the Blue Devils earning an early lead on a blistering firstround 289 Friday. Senior Virada Nirapathpongporn set the tone with a 70, and freshman Brittany Lang carded a 71. On the tournament’s second day, Lang took the lead for the tournament with a 69, and Janangelo and senior Leigh Anne Hardin each turned in a 70. Janangelo’s 70 on Sunday gave her a total of 214 and the individual win, a two-stroke victory over May Wood of Vanderbilt. “I am playing with a lot confidence right now,” Janangelo said. “Last week, it was very windy, and my practice on the range with my caddie helped me with the conditions we were faced with at the Bryan National.”
Augusta
The individual title came in spectacular fashion, as Janangelo birdied four of her last five holes for the victory. “Liz was very fun to watch today” head coach Dan Brooks said. “When she gets feeling good and is in the zone, it is very exciting. Her run at the end... was key, as Wake Forest pulled within five strokes at one point today.” Lang tied for third in the individual standings, after a Sunday 77 put her at 217 for the tournament. Hardin tied for fifth with a 218, and Nirapathpongporn’s 220 netted her a share of 11th place. These low scores allowed Duke a three-day total of 869, beating runner-up Wake Forest’s 883 to win. “I am very excited about the win today,” Brooks said. “I can see that the teams are playing better, and we need to keep raising our games also.” Duke’s game has been head and shoulders above the competition for most of this year. In addition to their top ranking, the Blue Devils asserted themselves as the

After a slow start to the spring season, Duke has been resurrected by two top-five finishes in its last two tournaments.

It was just a matter of time before everyone would get their games going.” En route to its finish, Duke had to battle against a field that included three of the top five teams in the nation, two of which they defeated—the Clemson Tigers and the Georgia Bulldogs. In fact, the Blue Devils’ defeat of the Tigers marks the second time in as many tournaments that the No. 2 team in the nation has fallen to Duke. “We put a pretty good whoopin’ on a

WOMEN’S LACROSSE 10 | VIRGINIA 9
Women’s lax claims first-ever conference title by
Mike Van Pelt
THE CHRONICLE
For the first time in program history, the Duke women’s
lacrosse team can celebrate an ACC regular season championship. The Blue Devils (7-3, 3-0
in the ACC) accomplished their feat by knocking off fifth-ranked Virginia (9-3, 2-1) and held the nation’s leading goal scorer, the Cavaliers’ Amy Appelt, without a goal in the first half. “It’s awesome. It feels amazing,” junior Kristy Dirks said. “Last year we got upset by Virginia in the ACC tournament and this year is revenge. We
wanted to get back at them.”
Saturday, the No. 6 Blue Devils did just that as a patient offense and aggressive defense resulted in a 10-9 victory. Duke fired first, as it jumped out to a 4-0 lead within the first 15 minutes of action. Sophomore Katie Chrest continued her stellar play of late, as she assisted teammate Kristy Dirks on two of her team-high four goals. Chrest added three goals of her own, bringing her season total to 24. The Blue Devils controlled the tempo of the game all afternoon, limiting Virginia’s offensive chances. Duke’s attack showed incredible patience by passing the ball around the perimeter until a teammate broke free. Eight of the 10 Blue Devil goals were assisted, as opposed to just one of the Cavaliers’ nine scores. “That was our game plan,” Dirks said. “We decided we needed the ball more than them because they have a pretty threatening offense too. The fact that we held the ball and they weren’t able to get it helped us a lot.” Duke’s attention much of the game was on its defense, which,
in the first half especially, was nothing short of superb. Appelt, a 2003 second-team All-American for Virginia, entered the contest with 50 goals through the team’s first 11 games.
“She’s a great player,” Blue Devil head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “She’s smaller, which is too her advantage. She’s really quick and she’s really strong.” Appelt failed to score in the first half as she was harassed and knocked down by Duke. “Basically every time she got the ball we were doubling her right away,” senior Meghan Walters said. “We played ‘body’ and tried to get as low as possible because she’s really short and really quick. We just basically tried to take her out of her element, which is to roll the crease.” Visibly frustrated in the first half, Appelt had more success in the second period due in large Michelle Menserand the Blue Devils held onto a late lead Saturday afternoon to take the regular season ACC crown. part to Blue Devil fouls, which set up free position opportunities.

0 HARD-FOUGHT HEART Duke 78
Connecticut 79
SAN ANTONIO, Texas
One of the primary reasons an anti-Duke sentiment has developed across the country is the seemingly assigned place of the Blue Devils among the nation’s elite. Such is almost certain to be the case next year, as the Blue Devils will return four starters for 2004-05 and replace the star it will lose—Chris Duhon, to graduation—with the nation’s top prep point guard, 6-foot-7 Shaun Livingston of Peoria, 111. “They’re going to be great,” Duhon said. “I think a lot of them grew a lot this year. We
have seen a lot of the guys step up late in the tournament, like Shavlik [Randolph] and Sean [Dockery]. They’re going to be amazing. They have great recruits comipg in and we have the best coach in America.” Livingston, whose NBA Draft stock had been rising exponentially since his high school season ended a month or so ago, struggled mightily in the McDonald’s All-American game last week, scoring just two points as his team was routed by the East squad on national television.This performance may or may not sway Livingston to honor his commitment, but it certainly was a game that had Duke fans cheering under their breaths. A final decision from Livingston can be expected within the next month. The reason for such collusion
among Blue Devil fans is that they are all aware that with Livingston next year, the Blue Dev-
ils could have one of their great teams in recent history. Consider, Duke’s reserve team would be comprised of three Mc-
Donald’s All-Americans: Sean Dockery, Shavlik Randolph and freshman-to-be DeMarcus Nelson, with Lee Melchionni and the incoming Dave McClure, as well. Such depth would spell a Duke deficiency from this past season. That’s a reserve team that could
is downright scary: Livingston, three-year starter Daniel Ewing, junior J.J. Redick, sophomore Deng and junior Williams. “We are going to be back here next year,” Redick said. “We’re going to be back in the Final Four.”
Coaching changes? One obstacle the Blue Devils may potentially face is a mixup in its assistant coaching ranks. Johnny Dawkins and Steve Wojciechowski have both been mentioned for several major coaching positions in the past month, as openings have remained unfilled at Georgetown and Auburn, among other schools. Dawkins and Wojciechowski are yet to comment on any speculation, but both are certain to be
fare well for itself in any major conference in America. Dockery and Nelson as a backcourt is terrifyingly good; Randolph has shown promise as being one of the best sixth-men in America; and McClure and Melchionni are destined to be valuable. Duke’s starting five, then,

Early entry to the pros?
The whispers regarding who will be leaving college early for the NBA have already growninto widespread discussion, with the names of Rashad McCants from UNC and Luol Deng of Duke occupying the majority of talk. McCants, a sophomore named third-team All-American this past year, told reporters following UNC’s second-round loss to Texas that he, along with fellow sophomore stars Raymond Felton and Sean May, would be back. Likewise, Deng told reporters after Saturday’s loss that he would remain a Blue Devil for another year. “Of course, yeah, yes,” Deng answered.

uniform for the final time was one of the most painful for the team. “As soon as the game was over, my first thought was that I would never be able to play with Chris again, and it hurts,” sophomore J.J. Redick said. Duhon has been a mentor to many of the younger Blue Devils, including Redick, just as he was taught by his predecessor, Jay Williams. His departure leaves Daniel Ewing as a possible heir apparent to the captain slot, though the quiet junior has yet to take on a significant leadership role—with Duhon on the team, he hasn’t had to. The point guard position is also very much up in the air as the Duke team returns from San Antonio and begins to contemplate next year. Sean Dockery, who has averaged solid minutes for head coach Mike Krzyzewski as a sophomore, would seem to be next in line. Dockery, however, never spent considerable time running the offense and entered the game more for his defensive prowess than for his point guard attributes. But like Ewing with leadership, there was always Duhon, and Dockery never had to run the point during critical stretches. Even though he now has two years of experience and a Final Four under his belt, Dockery may not be the starting point guard when the Blue Devils open next season. Krzyzewski has recruited Shaun Livingston, a 6-foot-7 point guard, but many speculate the Peoria, HI., native will skip college and enter the NBA draft—a choice that will come in the next month. But if Livingston

But decisions about next year will come in time, and Saturday night’s tears were very much about Duhon’s final game. “I just went up to each one of them personally and said, ‘Thank you for the great ride, thank you for all the locker rooms and giving me all their all this whole year and making my senior year my best year,’ Duhon said as tears welled up in his eyes, and reporters realized that it was time to give him his space. “That’s all I asked for them to do, and they did it.” And Duhon, a member of an everdwindling group of players to star throughout a four-year college career, picked his head up and reflected with pride on his time at Duke. “It’s been a great career,” he said. “I’m going to miss it. I wish I can go back in time and do it all over again, but it doesn’t happen that way. Fm going to miss being with these guys and being at this university. I wish them the best of luck, and I will always be a Blue Devil.” “

Huskies in the end. “It’s a disappointing game to end the season when we were right there,” said Shavlik Randolph, who capped a stellar tournament with 13 points on 6-of-6 shooting. “We got ourselves in a position to win. I guess they just outplayed us there at the end. They hit clutch free throws, and you’ve got to give them credit.” UConn certainly deserves a considerable amount of respect and admiration for overcoming a late-game deficit to beat Duke. And they did beat Duke. “We’re incredibly happy, incredibly proud of our kids. We are incredibly respectful of Duke and Mike [Krzyzewski],” UConn head coach Jim Calhoun said. “They’re justreally, really good. They just—you just can’t beat them sometimes until you beat them. You almost have to take the last breath out of them. We were able to do that with some great plays and some great defense.” Duke was grasping for a bucket in the final minutes, but it had very little to do with Connecticut. The Blue Devils were suffocating from a lack of offensive execution, not from anything the Huskies were doing differently on defense. “I just think that we just settled late in the game,” said Chris Duhon, who fought back tears during a brief press conference. ‘You know, we just settled for jump shots instead of realizing that we were in a double bonus and that... we needed to penetrate, hopefully got fouled, knock down big free throws. I think in those last three minutes we settled for a lot of jump shots instead of being aggressive like we were the whole rest of the game.”
People will look at the outcome of this contest and reminisce about past Duke late-game losses in postseason play, most notably a 1998 loss to Kentucky in the Regional Finals and this past ACC Championship’s letdown versus Maryland. “We didn’t relax at all,” J.J. Redick said. “We had been in that position so many times this year, and we learned from a previous loss when we were in that position against Maryland. I thought we did a better job of execution tonight, we got good shots, we ran the
clock down when we had the lead.” But this was not a case of Duke falling part. This was no collapse. A collapse is defined very strictly by a team morphing into mush, self-destructing, turning the ball over, etc. The Blue Devils were playing just fine on the defensive end. They did what they could to stymie Con-
necticut’s furious charge. But the Huskies are a team equally deserving of good fortune as the Blue Devils, and they earned the win. Duke may have done this as well, but they didn’t make the plays on the offensive side of the ball to match UConn down the stretch. That’s not a letdown. That’s just unfortunate. And that’s perfectly okay. But you won’t read about that in the papers. Instead, you’ll be subjected to more fantastical news: how mighty Duke blew a chance at advancing to an all-ACC national title game. “First of all, it’s a three-possession lead,” Krzyzewski explained. “A three knocks it down to five points. That’s why [Rashad] Anderson’s was so big. We fouled a couple times there. The foul trouble we had in the second half especially was difficult because our centers played 40 minutes and had 15 fouls. So how you defend the post down at the other end got [Emeka] Okafor on the line.... We took a couple jump shots. Then when we were down by one, J.J. made a great play, I thought.” The play in question was a drive by Redick that resulted in a turnover. And though a foul could have been called on the play—perhaps should have been called on the play-—it was refreshing to allow the players play in a game that was arrested with 44 fouls, much to the conspicuous angst of players and coaches on both sides. It was surprising, then, that on a play that was perhaps more physical than other whistles earlier in the contest the game was allowed to continue unimpeded. “The game went the way it was,” said Luol Deng, the most intelligent, most promising and most talented freshman in America. “You can’t think about the officials. They weren’t one-sided. The officials were out there to do their job. There were a lot of fouls called for a Final Four game, but the ref is going to call what he sees.” But I digress. The fact remains that UConn outplayed Duke in the waning minutes, which places a limited amount of culpability on the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils did not fall apart—they were befallen. UConn was opportunistic and inspired, and its Cer-
beric attack of Ben Gordon, Anderson and Okafor spearheaded the scoring onslaught. But Duke will be back in the fall with, perhaps, its most promising team on paper since the 1991-92 season. Duke will remember the Alamodome, and do so to its advantage. It will be a stepping stone to future triumphs. It will not be considered a squander, nor will it serve as a stain on what was, truthfully, an excellent season —even with the loftiest of standards that have been bestowed upon the Blue Devils. “We just have to learn from it,” Deng said. “That is the best that we can do.” And because Deng’s attitude is one shared by the rest of his team, one fostered by his Hall of Fame coach, the Blue Devils will be back again, and again and again. And don’t you forget it.

THE CHRONICLE
From staff reports It seems like no one in the ACC can keep up. From College Park, Md.,
to Tallahassee, Fla., Duke women’s tennis has dominated the conference with 34 consecutive wins.
This weekend, the Blue Devils, ranked third nationally, added No. 33 and 34 to that streak with Saturday’s 7-0 rout of Maryland (6-10,0-5 in the ACC) and a 6-1 cruise yesterday at Virginia (9-10, 0-5). Saturday, Duke (15-1, 6-0) came out with wins across the board against the Terrapins. In the No. 1 doubles match, Tory Zawacki and Julia Smith defeated Ramona But and Brooke Rogers, 8-4. Zawacki has been playing with Smith recently,
instead of her normal partner, Amanda Johnson, with whom she is ranked No. 4 in the nation. The Blue Devils sealed the doubles point with Saras Arasu and Johnson winning at No. 2, 8-2, and freshmen Kristin Cargill and Jennifer Zika matching that score at No. 3. In singles play, Duke had the same results. No. 7 Johnson defeated But, 6-4,

6-1, at first singles. The Duke team secured easy wins at No. 4,5 and 6, too. Smith beat Masha Senic, 6-2, 6-2, in the fourth singles position. At No. 5, Arasu blanked Neda Mihneva, 6-0, 6-0. Cargill ended the day with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Chloe Chavardes at No. 6. The only singles matches to go into third sets were Zika at No. 2 and Zawacki at No. 3. The two freshmen were able to stifle their competition, 6-4 and 7-5, in their respective final sets. Yesterday, the Blue Devils made a second stop down the east coast with a match at UVa, and had the same results, as Saturday. Duke again swept the doubles matches, for the 12th time this season, as Johnson and Zawacki paired up again and continued their winning ways at No. 1, defeating Mariko Fritz-Krockow and Kristen James, 9-8. The five wins that Duke picked up in singles play all came in two sets. Johnson won against FritzKrockow, 6-2, 6-1 at No. 1. Zawacki, Smith, Arasu and Cargill all picked up wins at three, four, five and six.
Jay Lapidus has done should not go unnoticed, as the Blue Devils defeated No. 14 Texas Christian Friday and No. 30 University of Miami (FI.) Sunday to give Lapidus 300 career victories. During his tenure, Lapidus has amassed a record of 300-87 (.775), won ten ACC championships, and led Duke to top-25 finishes in 13 of his 14 years in Durham. “I didn’t even know,” Lapidus said of the landmark, following the win over Miami. “The guys told me, so it was nice, [but] it was just another match.” In Friday’s victory over TCU (13-4), the contest appeared much closer than the final score of 6-1

This weekend Beard was also honored with the State Farm Wade Trophy and Associated Press Player of the Year distinctions. “I am just really happy for Alana,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Hopefully, it will help ease her pain a bit.... I think it is fitting because she has always put her team above herself and team goals above individual goals.” In winning the Associated Press Player of the Year award, Beard received 39 of the total 47 votes. Behind Beard was 2003 recipient Diana Taurasi with four votes, Kelly Mazzante of Penn State with three votes and Stanford’s Nicole Powell, who received one vote. The State Farm Wade Trophy, which was named after three-time national champion Delta State University coach Lily Margaret Wade, was given to Taurasi of Connecticut last season. While the State Farm Wade Trophy was considered for years to be the Heisman of women’s basketball, this season marks the inaugural year of the

Saturday, Beard was also named a Kodak All-America for the third consecutive year. Mazzante, Powell, Taurasi and Lindsay Whalen, whose University of Minnesota squad defeated the Blue Devils March 30 to advance into the Final Four, were the other three-year winners.

We just couldn’t get the ball in the hole. You know, in those situations, our defense wasn’t that great for us today. We gave up.” Leading up to Redick’s failed drive to the basket, the Blue Devils attempted three errant perimeter shots and turned the ball over once. Meanwhile, an Anderson three narrowed the Duke lead to five and a pair ofBen Gordon free throws put Connecticut in a position to regain the lead it last held at the midway point of the first half. “Our champion heart arose,” Huskies head coach Jim Calhoun said. “We made six straight stops, played incredible defense.” Connecticut captured the lead when Okafor grabbed his owti offensive rebound around his knees and went immediately back to the basket to give UConn a one-point advantage with 21 seconds remaining. “I think it was a post pass, and then I had missed it,” Okafor explained afterwards. “I missed a shot.

I grabbed it, spun, saw the rim, thought it would be a good idea to put it in, and that’s what I did.” The offensive pace of the second half was torrid. The Huskies shot 62 percent from the field in the second period, led by Okafor, who was 7-for-8 from the field. UConn had its way with the Blue Devil defenders in the post as Williams and Randolph were ineffective, saddled with fouls for much of the half. The Huskies’ other star, Gordon, who is in the midst of a tremendous tournament run, scored 10 in the second half. The contest was very much a chess match between Krzyzewski and Calhoun. Okafor, the Huskies’ All-American center, picked up a pair of fouls four minutes into the game. Calhoun elected to sit Okafor for the remainder of the first half while Krzyzewski continued to play his two big men despite early foul trouble of their own. Randolph and Williams each had three fouls by the break, causing them to be ineffective down the stretch before fouling out.
they talked about it,” Randolph said about keeping the post players on the bench. ‘Then they realized, ‘This is the Final Four, and what are we holding back? Put it all on the table.’ They trusted us to go out there and play with
foul trouble.We had done it before, and we did it for most of the game.” At the start of the contest, the Blue Devils came out flat, and the Huskies jumped out to a 15-4 lead. With Okafor on the bench, however, and Randolph stepping up offensively, Duke stormed back with a 20-4 run to build a lead that lasted until the final minute of the game. Led by Randolph, the Blue Devils took advantage of Connecticut’s lack of a strong post defender, scoring 30of-41 first-half points in the paint. Williams, however, never got in an offensive rhythm, making just l-of-9 shots from the field. “Our big guys just never got into the flow of the game tonight because of all the foul trouble,” Krzyzewski said. “But, you know, the way [Randolph] played in the NCAA Tournament, I’m so proud of him. It’s something to build on for his future.” Duke’s lead grew to as big as 10 in the first half, and the team took a seven-point advantage into the break. Both Williams and Randolph picked up their fourth foul within the first five minutes of the second period. With the Blue Devils unable to defend Okafor, it looked like Connecticut might quickly close the gap, but the Blue Devils maintained their lead, executing well offensively and forcing a number of Husky turnovers. Five Blue Devils scored in double figures, led by freshman Luol Deng with 16 and Redick and Duhon with 15 apiece. Even though UConn turned the ball over 18 times, the Huskies’ fast break defense limited Duke to a mere four points in transition. In the end, the game came down to the final three minutes, and whether it be an advantage in the post, better offensive execution or just a matter of bounces, the Huskies advanced and the Blue Devils were left to reflect tearfully on a season in which they came up just short. “It’s a disappointing game to end the season when we were right there,” Randolph said. “We put ourselves in a position to win. I guess they just outplayed us there at the end.”
WEEKS from page 3 that are important to many Duke students,” explained sophomore Hollen Reischer. “So we’re trying to have a week that will create awareness about the center and expose people to a sampling of different activities... so they can have a resource and an outletfor thosekinds of things.” Health Awareness Week took place for the second time on campus in March, this year offering something last year’s had not: Mental Health Day. “A student panel spoke of their personal experiences with mental illness, especially depression,” said sophomore Rebecca Parrish, who coordinated Health Awareness Week. Most find that such changes are necessary in order to improve the quality and extend the scope of their programs, as they look forward to continuing awareness and prevention weeks next year. Parrish talked excitedly about enlarging the impact of Health Awareness Week on the Durham community. “I’d like to spread awareness among students on Duke’s campus about Durham health—how poor healthcare is in Durham and how harshly Durham is hit with STDs, AIDS, diabetes, cancer,” she said. Reischer was more blunt about the Center for Race Relations’ needs. “We don’t have very much funding this year,” she said. “So we’ll have a lot more capacity to do bigger things, I guess, when we have more money.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Several students barred from voting While some people might think that voter apathy was the major cause oflow voting numbers in the March 30 DSG election, we contend that the technical inability to vote was a major prevention of hearing students’ voices. First of all, many people with whom we have talked did not receive the e-mail telling us to vote; this oversight may have resulted from our abroad status. No one in our program received notification from DSG. Then, from first hand experience, we know that our votes were not cast because the website claimed our Honor Code pledge was not signed. Since both of us have voted in previous elections, this claim was an obvious malfunction of the site. Our multiple voting attempts were futile and, as a result, we then decided to wage a complaint to the
posted address of voting@dsg.duke.edu. We
each received a notice that said the e-mail address is invalid. Regardless of the outcome of the election, we feel that the potential misrepresentation of the student body is due cause for at least sparking the discourse of a revote. While we do not question the level of the candidates’ support, the small victory margins raise the question of equity in this election. We encourage anyone with similar problems to contact DSG and us.

A Defense of DSG Since Joost Bosland clearly thought long and hard about his idea to eliminate DSG for his editorial “Read my lips: No More DSG,” let’s take a moment to think about how this year would have been different if, as he proposed, DSG was eliminated. First the Krzyzewskiville tradition would have come to an abrupt end. Donald Wine and his dedicated line monitors would never have been chosen, tenting would not have occurred because there would have been no way to oversee it and the fun events which took place in front of Cameron before the Maryland and UNC games would not have occurred. Maybe basketball isn’t Bosland’s thing, but what about the DSG newspaper program, which President Keohane and Larry Moneta (who he seemed to imply in his article always know what is best for students) refused to fund. The program provides students with free copies of the New York Times, USA Today and the HeraldSun (and has had a nearly 100 percent usage rate, as every paper available is taken) and is painstakingly administered by DSG member Rick Garcia. What about DUSDAC, which has spent hundreds of hours surveying students and working with the directorof Dining Services to make sure that Duke is providing students with the best possible dining options? Does the Student Organizations Finance Committee, which analyzes dozens of budgets from student groups every yearand works tirelessly to provide the best possible allocation of funding to enable the multitude of activities in which students participate to occur, have no value? Well, Bosland might say that these all couldbe separate organizations and that the DSG VPs and senators are the ones wasting resources and padding their resumes. I contend that, like the services DSG provides, its legislative body has a great deal of value to students. The Facilities and Athletics committee has worked from the very beginning of the year to improve safety on-campus. Though Alex Nijelow, the head of the com-
mittee, met with administrators numerous times about needed safety improvements earlier in the year, it was not until there was an armed robbery in the Bryan Center and two sexual assaults that the administrators, who Bosland seems to argue know what is best for Duke and its students, took action to increase safety and implement some of the suggested changes on this campus. The Facilities and Athletics Committee also opened gated lots on West Campus to off-campus seniors on nights and weekends, raised more than 68,000 cans for the North Carolina Food Bank and compelled administrators to actually create a committee to get student input on the new West Union student center. The Academic Affairs Committee has, among other things, worked to open classrooms at night in which students can work collaboratively (rather than disturbing people who want to study independendy in the library) and has created an elaborateplan to overhaul the Pre-Major Advising Center. I, personally as a freshman senator on the Facilities and Athletics Committee, have been able to decrease air-conditioning rates for students with medical need for the upcoming year, overturn more than $1,200 in parking tickets through re-zoning on East and make permits available to students for a lot on East that was previously reserved for faculty and staff. I will be the first to admit that DSC is not a perfect organization, but it shows a profound misunderstanding of the organization to say that if it were eliminated Duke would not be negatively affected. The majority of people on Duke Student Government care passionately about making this school a better place and it is insulting for Bosland to claim that the organization has no value while probably benefiting from the work of its members in more ways than he knows.

MONDAY. APRIL 5
The Left Wing’s Boogeyman
It’s
a good thing that U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft does not have a big ego. If he did, he would probably spend his days trying to change his reputation among liberals. He might point out that he was once a popular Governor or remind them that he used to be well-known for his support of term limits and role as the baritone voice of the beloved “Singing Senators.” It wouldn’t matter. Liberals despise John Ashcroft, They cringe at the mention of his name and clench their fists when they see his picture. Some even rejoiced at the recent news that he was suffering from a serious form of gallstone pancreatitis. Thankfully, Secretary Ashcroft has ignored the personal attacks thrown his Nathan Carleton way and worked tirelessly to perform the duties PresiPeelin' Froggish? Leap dentBush entrusted to him in 2001: fighting crime and protecting Americans from harm. And when Ashcroft is evaluated on that standard, he stands out as America’s best Attorney General since Robert Kennedy. To put it bluntly, Secretary Ashcroft has been kicking tail and taking names since Sept. 11. Last month, the Justice Department announced that three men from the Washington, D.C. area—Hammad Abdur-Raheem, Masoud Ahmad Khan, and Seifullah Chapman—had been convicted of violently conspiring against the United States on behalf of the Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba. When charged, the men claimed they were innocent victims of racism. But Ashcroft and the Justice Department compiled a case against them so strong that Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema labeled their defense “incredible” and “implausible.” The D.C. convictions followed a pattern. Since September 11, everyone Ashcroft has brought charges against has claimed innocence and garnered support from liberals across the country outraged with supposed “racial profiling.” Yet each of the defendants has ended Up being found guilty for heinous crimes once in court. Under
-
Ashcroft’s watch, the U.S. government has broken up terrorist cells across the country and prevented dozens of potential attacks against civilians. Many liberals hysterically claim that Ashcroft has used the USA Patriot Act to establish a “Big-Brother”-style environment where government officials search through the library records of law-abiding Americans and eavesdrop on telephone conversations at whim. In reality, these frightening scenarios not only have not happened, but cannot happen under current U.S. law. The Patriot Act has only one role in the Justice Department’s agenda: combating terrorism. To that end, it only allows for the monitoring of wire, oral and electronic communications during investigations of “domestic terrorism.” Section 802 defines “domestic terrorism” as conduct that both “violates federal or state criminal law” and “is dangerous to human life.” This means that Americans who are not suspected of criminal wrongdoing that could result in the death of others are at no risk of having their records searched or their communication intercepted. Even more importantly, the Patriot Act mandates that wiretaps and other devices used in investigations of domestic terrorism be approved by court order. Prior to its passage, law enforcement could conduct electronic surveillance via court order for many ordinary, non-terrorist crimes like passport fraud, drug dealing and mail fraud. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that it has ushered in a new era of government authority, the Patriot Act’s primary effect has actually been a leveling of the playing field, as terrorism investigators now have access to the same tools that criminal investigators have used for decades. Secretary Ashcroft’s agenda involves more than anti-terrorism. His department has also brought justice to many of the corporate criminals who lied and cheated their ways to
wealth at the expense of others during the 19905. In the past three years, the Justice Department has convicted Enron CFO Andrew Fastow and CEO Jeff Kiling, and is ensuring that Kenneth Lay will meet their same fate. It has also convicted officials at WorldCom, ImClone,and Enron’s bogus auditor: the Arthur Anderson firm. Were Secretary Ashcroft not using his authority to bring down corporate law-breakers and terrorists, he would be blasted by the left for not doing enough. Instead, those who dislike him for being conservative, Christian and “anti-choice” scoff at all of his department’s accomplishments and demonize him for furthering an “agenda” and “violating civil liberties.” Simply put, John Ashcroft is a boogeyman for liberals and an undeserved target for the rage, anger, and bitterness they have held since 2000. They have a lot of cruel words for their Attorney General, but if they evaluated him on his record instead of his ideology, they would realize that the two words that he most deserves to hear are “thank” and “you.” Nathan Carleton is a Trinity junior.
