The University is re-examining its residential damage policy in hopes of compelling students to take a more active interest in the well-being of their living environments, said Eddie Hull, director of Residence Life and Housing Services. Potential changes include financial acfor countability independents for damage in theirresidence spaces and restricted access to dormitories.

In practice, however, such enforcement becomes difficult when those responsible for the damage cannot be identified, especially while access to each residence hall remains open to all undergraduates.

“Right now we incur a great deal of financial costs in buildings that are not collected from students,” Hull said, noting that the financial impact varies from year SEE DAMAGES ON PAGE 7

When President Nan Keohane called on the University to conduct a “ruthless analysis” of its academic offerings in an October address to the faculty, other highlevel administrators—those who wotdd be around to conduct such an analysis—took notice. The officers who will assume the reins of the University after Keohane steps down July 1, including President-elect Richard Brodhead, said they will follow through on Keohane’s call to “reconceptualize the enterprise” through specializacollaboration, tion and though perhaps not in as dramatic a fashion as some anticipate.

Keohane’s call to take a fresh look at Duke’s offerings and possibly make cuts in certain areas came as part of a broader address to the faculty about challenges that lie in Duke’s future. Speaking of growing costs in higher education, Keohane suggested that the University could spend less money on certain inefficacious expenditures and instead look to nearby institutions to provide the absent services or opportunities. Following through on her suggestion could mean a new era of increased specialization and collaboration for Duke, but it is unclear how drastic the changes will be.

“Close collaboration with other institutions, both those physically nearby and through virtual linkages, will allow us to offer a full range of courses for students and collegial ties for faculty members without having to produce everything on our own campus,” Keohane said in her speech.

‘This would require us to get away from the attitude that everything is always better if we provide it here and be more open to the strengths of our collaborators. It will mean accepting some modest inconvenience in travel time, or learning technological skills, and over time reducing the scope of what we offer in some areas as we decide where Duke’s own comparative advantages lie.”

Brodhead, the incoming president and current dean ofYale College, said he had no interest in getting rid of departments at the University and that collaboration was “not a magical solution,” suggesting a desire for a limited application of Keohane’s specialization and collaboration idea.

Over 120 dead from fighting in Iraq by

Hamza Hendawi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Coalition forces NAJAF, Iraq fought on two fronts Tuesday, battling a Shiite-inspired uprising in southern Iraq and Sunni insurgents in the violent city of Fallujah in clashes that have killed 20 American troops and at least 100 Iraqis since the weekend.

Backers of fiery anti-American Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr attacked coalition forces in three cities—Italians in Nasiriyah, Britons in Samawah and Ukrainians in Kut—after a weekend of fighting that was especially intense in the poor Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City in Baghdad.

In the latest U.S. deaths, five Marines were killed Monday—one of them in Fallujah fighting and the others on the western outskirts of Baghdad —and three U.S. soldiers died in attacks in a Baghdad neighborhood Monday and Tuesday.

At least two Marines were wounded in Fallujah Tuesday, as forces fought their way to the center of the city to crush an uprising by insurgents loyal to ousted leader Saddam Hussein.

Marines pulled back to the outskirts at nightfall Tuesday.

Al-Sadr left his fortress-like complex Tuesday in Kufa and moved to his office near a sacred shrine in this holy city,

Duke re-ups contract with Lands’ End

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

specialist for the Duke University Health System office for institutional equity, then provided a personal anecdote as a lead-in to a discussion of the implications of forming a white identity.

Weiss provided several examples of how she became aware of her identity as a white, Jewish, American and how it influenced her life. She once worked for an AIDS group in the South Bronx and stood out so much that she would shout “white lady coming through” as she walked to work. She described her experience in Madison, Wise., where she was told not to look for housing in a particular neighborhood because black people lived there.

“It’s really important for white people to think about the significance of being white,” she said.

The discussion then turned to America’s involvement

The University announced Tuesday that it renewed its trademark license contract with Lands’ End, just one month after the contract was suspended duetto complaints about labor practices at a supplier factory in El Salvador.

Wilkerson notified the Wisconsin-based clothier of the contract suspension in a March 1 letter, citing allegations by the Worker Rights Consortium and the Fair Labor Association that the Primo factory in El Salvador had blacklisted workers who had real or perceived connections to unions. The two organizations had tried during the past year to resolve the issues with the Lands’ End, but with little success.

Lands’ End announced April 5 that it had reached an agreement with the FLA and WRC resolving the labor rights concerns in El Salvador—a statement that was corroborated by both the FLA and WRC. “What’s been put in place is a remediation plan that Lands’ End has committed to that, if fully implemented, will bring about a resolution of these issues,” Wilkerson said. “They’ve made those commitments and we have every confidence they will keep them.”

Wilkerson noted, however, that the remediation plan will be continually monitoredby the FLA and WRC over the next several months to ensure that it is fully implemented.

As part of the agreement, Lands’ End said it would provide assistance—in the form of machinery, cloth and technical instruction—to the Just Garments factory, which offered employment to those workers who were denied employment at the nearby Prime factory due to their real or perceived ties to unions.

The company also agreed to evaluate Just Garments, the first factory in the history of the export apparel industry in El Salvador to sign an accord with a union, as a potential supplier once technical assistance was completed.

In addition, Lands’ End agreed to help ensure against anti-union hiring practices at the Primo factory through monitoring, labor compliance training and communication with the local government and industry officials about the company’s commitment to workers’ rights of freedom ofassociation.

“We’re hopeful that by implementing those changes in

What does it mean to be white?

Thirty-five students attempted to answer this and other questions relating to race Tuesday night at “Conceptualizing Whiteness,” a dialogue sponsored by the Center for Race Relations. The dialogue is the second installment in a series of events that comprise The Center for Race Relations Week.

The center’s co-director Charisse Williams began the dialogue by setting ground rules to help promote respectful yet open-minded discussion. Hollen Reischer, a coordinator of the week’s events, then organized a warm-up exercise where students were asked to show whether they agreed or disagreed with a number of statements about racial issues, such as “My race is a source of personal pride.”

Edens council calls for changes by

Virginia Russell THE CHRONICLE

Complaints about the Edens Quadrangle resonate through its residence halls daily though few formal suggestions for changes have been issued.

Tuesday night, however, the Edens Quad Council took

the first step towards the improvement of the most distant West Campus quad by unanimously passing a six-page resolution—complete with a map of the quadrangle—that will be sent to Eddie Hull, Director of Residential Life and Housing Services, and other administrators, for review. “[The resolution] was essentially a part of our yearlong goals,” said Carver Moore, president of Edens Quad Council. “But, when relevant personnel were informed of the idea, the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.”

The resolution is divided into three sections—“On Safety,” “On Amenities” and “On Aesthetics.”

“On Safety,” highlights the concern for adequate lighting among other topics. Presently, the Edens Quadrangle is lit by orange sodium lamps that, while cheap to maintain, are viewed as “wholly unacceptable to illuminate a Quad like Edens” because they create “negative psychological effects” and “it has been shown that under orange light it becomes more difficult to recognize people at intermediate distances.”

“On Amenities,” the longest part of the resolution, deals with changes that would make Edens a more appealing place to live and closer to an equal of Main West, in terms of living conditions. One ofits strongest recommen’

dations includes the landscaping of grassy areas between buildings into a more usable space complemented by picnic tables and foot-bridges. The resolution comments on the “overwhelming popular input” for an ice machine and the institution of an ATM machine. The Council expressed indignance about “the travesty” that Edens’ residents pay the same price for Internet as those on Main West, who receive wireless Internet access while those in Edens do not.

The final section, “On Aesthetics,” requests things such as more hard garbage cans, better maintenance of the landscape and that the University “seriously re-evaluates its philosophical outlook on the area.” This final remark appears to be the overarching theme of the proposal that reflects students’ feelings that the University -neglects Edens. The resolution predicts in strong terms the failure of a quadrangle-based residential system if the quads are not viewed as relative equals by students. It proceeds further by stressing the importance of both residential groups and independents living together on campus and says that the removal of either group from campus would be detrimental to Edens.

Edens Quad Council has worked hard this year to make Edens a more appealing place to live. The Council sponsored a forum earlier in the fall semester to provide residents with the chance to voice their opinions about what changes should take priority.

Lithuanian president is ousted by parliament

by Steven Myers NEW YORK. TIMES NEWS SERVICE

MOSCOW The Lithuanian Parliaremoved President Rolandas Paksas from office on Tuesday, ending a political scandal that has roiled the country for nearly six months even as it celebrated its new membership in NATO and the European Union.

The Parliament, or Seimas, ousted Paksas less than 14 months after he took office, voting on three separate counts that he violated his oath and the Lithuanian constitution through his dealings with a Lithuanian-Russian businessperson suspected oflinks to Russian organized crime.

Paksas, 47, became the first European leader to be removed from office by impeachment. The Parliament’s speaker, Arturas Paulauskas, a political rival, took over as acting president after Tuesday’s votes, ment

pending a new election that by law must be

held within two and a half months.

All along Paksas, a flamboyant stunt pilot and populist politician, denied the charges, accusing his opponents of exacting political revenge for his unexpected victory in a presidential runoff in January 2003.

Tuesday, appearing before Parliament as it prepared to vote, he sounded contrite, acknowledging mistakes but saying that none merited his impeachment.

"I do not feel guilty,” he said.

His remarks did little to persuade Parliament to grant him leniency. And his behavior of late, often seen as erratic and temperamental, only worsened his prospects for political survival.

Even as Parliamentary a vote neared, Paksas appointed the businessperson at the center of the scandal, Yuri Borisov, as a special adviser and then reversed himself

within hours, saying he had been pressured by Borisov, The ouster comes less than a month before Lithuania is to cement its place in Europe by joining the European Union, a tremendous accomplishment for a country that regained its independence from the Soviet Union fewer than 13 years ago. A week ago it officially became a member of NATO, welcoming the arrival of four Belgian F-16s to panel the skies over the Baltics.

Many in Lithuania have viewed the scandal as a sign of the strength of the country’s nascent democracy, albeit an embarrassing one.

Despite the political turmoil—heightened by an undercurrent of fear about Russia’s meddling in the country’s affairs—the impeachment process did little to distract the country from its principal economic and foreign policy goal- of join-

ing Europe’s elite club of nations. Lithuania, eager to demonstrate its commitment to NATO and the United States, has also deployed troops to Afghanistan and Iraq.

“The democracy of Lithuania is proven,” Vytautas Landsbergis, the first president of post-Soviet Lithuania and one of the parliamentary deputies who voted against Paksas, said in a telephone interview. “We are able to cope even with such a problematic situation. And we did it in an absolutely peaceful and constitutional way.”

Paksas, the third post-Soviet president, was accused of improperly restoring citizenship to Borisov, the owner of a helicopter manufacturer, Aviabaltika, which has been accused of illegal arms sales to the Sudan. Borisov contributed $400,000 to Paksas’ presidential campaign, and in exchange, received preferential access to the president’s office.

Government enacts new drug test ing policies

by Leigh Strope THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The hair, saliva and sweat offederal workers could be tested for drug use under a government policy proposed Tuesday that could set screening standards for millions of private employers.

The proposal will expand the methods to detect drug use among 1.6 million federal workers beyond urine samples. It is being implemented with an eye toward the private sector, however, because it would signal the government’s approval for such testing, which many companies are awaiting before adopting their own screening programs.

The rule is subject to a 90-day public comment period final plan could be issued by year’s end.

A About 400,000 federal workers—such as those who have security clearances, carry firearms, are involved in national security or are presidential appointees—must undergo drug testing. Others are tested only if they show signs of drug use or are involved in a work-related accident.

“What we think is going to happen with the introduction of alternative specimens is, it’s going to make it much tougher for individuals to be able to adequately prepare and to avoid detection,” said Robert Stephenson, director of the workplace programs division in the Sub-

The positive rate for federal workers has fallen to less than 0.5 percent, from 18 percent early in the program, which began in 1986 when President Reagan issued an executive order declaring that the federal work force must be drug-free.

to year. “In some cases it could be really inexpensive—somewhere around $50,000. Or depending on what’s going; on, it could be very expensive—in excess of

$100,000.”

Hull noted that although selective living groups are currently held financially accountable for damage found within their living sections, the same responsibility has not been extended to include damage that occurs elsewhere in the residential buildings.

“If someone throws up in a bathroom across from a selective living group’s party, it’s pretty easy to say it was probably because of that party,” said Stephanie Carter, residence coordinator for the West-Edens Link. “But in other parts of the dorm, it’s hard to say who’s responsible unless someone actually witnesses the incident and then drops an e-mail or makes a phone call.”

These difficulties aside, however, Hull said it was time to question whether the current policy was appropriate.

“There are a number of independent students as well as members of Greek and other selective groups who would suggest it’s a double standard,” he said.

In order to foster a greater sense of community responsibility and to reclaim some of the costs ofrepair typically absorbed by the University, Hull said he was considering charging independent students for unclaimed damage to their sections of the residence halls. Whether the University would charge students by hall, quad or other residential unit was still under discussion, Hull said.

‘There’s an idea that exists for many students that because no one told them they’re responsible for their own living space, they don’t have to care who is responsible because they don’t have to pay for it,” he said. “Is there a financial interest in changing our policies? You bet. But my biggest interest is in promoting a different kind of community in which more people feel like they are responsible as a community for what is going on in their own homes.

“We know there are students who know who is responsible for the damage to the residence halls, but for whatever reason they choose not to accept responsibility for the damage or to inform the staff of who is responsible. This should be troubling to anyone living in the community.”

Anthony Vitarelli, president of Campus Council, said he supported Hull’s notion of consistency in the enforcement of RLHS’s 1 damage policy for independents and selective living groups.

“There's no reason why we should charge one kind of group for damages and not another,” he said. “Even for independents, the people living in the hall should be responsible for what occurs on that hall. That includes what may happen when residents bring visitors to their halls.”

Both Hull and Vitarelli noted, however, that the issue of accountability is complicated by the fact that access to

dormitories is not limited to the residents of each dorm “It’s hard to talk about damage policy without also considering who has access to these buildings,” Hull said. “I’ve had some conversations about restricting access more in the quads, but it has not yet become a formal request or proposal..,. Still, it’s something we need to have a serious conversation about.”

Vitarelli said that although he saw the potential benefits of restricting access to the residence halls, he had some reservations. “Restricted access could increase small group responsibility, but runs contrary to our sense of community as an entire campus,” he said.

A number of students echoed Vitarelli’s sentiment “I don’t think that the answer to this problem [of accountability for damage] will be found in restricting access,” said Jessica Efird, ajunior. ‘That only breaks down the community spirit that the University is trying to build withoutalways solving the problem, since many times the damage done is from people who live within the same quad.”

Hull said he had given some thought to problems that could arise from restricted access, such as limited access to computer clusters and house courses, but recognized that

he needed to explore such issues in more depth before implementing any sort of change.

He noted that questions of residence hall access pertain not only to the University’s damage policy but also to concerns about security—an issue that has received much attention in the last few weeks after two students were reportedly sexually assaulted on campus.

“At some point you have to question whether the convenience of unrestricted access is important enough to stand up to what people consider legitimate security issues,” he said.

Some students, however, questioned whether restricted access would truly increase security, noting that locked doors often turn into propped doors and thereby increase accessibility to include even people who are not part of the Duke community.

Hull said he would continue to discuss the issue of restricted access with members of the residential staff and Campus Council before making any decisions. He said he hopes to have reached a decision by the end of this academic year, with the possibility of implementing a change for the fall of 2004.

YALE from page 1 as an area of pardcular focus. He added that Yale has attempted in recent years to be a more active and enriching citizen.

The school’s claims, however, of an internal imperative to enhance the local area often fall flat.

The university’s campus is metropolitan and shops like Urban Outfitters and J. Crew line the streets, relying heavily on Yalies’ expenditures. Beyond the small enclave of student-subsidized retail shops, however, growing sendment of division separates many residents from the Yale community.

Local ardst Joseph Darren pointed out the paradox in Yale’s advice to undergraduates to stay away from certain areas of the city, citing them as particularly dangerous, yet encouraging student involvement with community service.

“A lot of people from the Yale administration encourage students to remain separate from the community,” he said. ‘There is somewhat of an ‘us versus them’ mentality.”

New Haven, with a population of 123,000, was once an industrious seaport originally settled by Puritans. But towngown relations have not always been as rosy as the city’s humble beginnings.

The school has had notable conflict with its surroundings since its move to the city in 1716, most frequently with the town residents who fill its ranks as Yale employees.

The Local 35 had gone on strike five times in 1971, 1974, 1977, 1984 and 1996—before the August breakdown. Workers striked for a record 53 days in 1971,and they cited “social commitment to New Haven” from Yale as a crucial point in contract renegotiation.

At the heart of Yale’s disagreements with unions and with New Haven are issues of race. Charges of hiring discrimination

by Yale ring throughout New Haven and —

racial controversy is a particular sticking point for university-town relations.

Yale’s managerial staffs are disproportionately white; less than 6 percent of managers are black and less than 2 percent are Hispanic, despite the fact that New Haven is 37.36 percent black and 21.39 percent Hispanic. Low-paid service workers are overwhelmingly black and few jobs are regularly staffed by Hispanics.

Many New Haven residents were angered during the fall 2003 strikes when they perceived the university as playing the race card on the city. Seventy-three percent of the lowest-paid service workers, including cleaning and serving staffs, in the Local 35 at Yale are black and 5 percent are Hispanic. Yale utilized non-unionized Hispanic workers as temporary replacements during the strike, attracting criticism for kindling racial tensions.

Duke, however, is not free from these criticisms either. University and union discourse has been particularly race-driven in recent years and most managerial staff members are white. Durham, with a population of 187,035, is 45.51 percent white and 43.81 percent black, according to the 2000 census.

Another issue of contention between Yale and New Haven is the university’s tax status. Yale, as a nonprofit, is exempt by a 1834 state law from having to pay property taxes on its academic buildings. A Connecticut program repays the city roughly two-thirds of the revenues lost due to the exemptions, which have been scrutinized for over two-thirds of the past century.

Nonetheless, the status still costs New Haven roughly $39 million a year.

Some, including New Haven aldermen, suggest that Yale make voluntary payments to help make up the growing deficit in New Haven’s budget. The school worth $10.5 billion makes only $7 million payments to the city each year, including taxes

The university touts its yearly tax payment, as well as programs to help first time homebuyers and improve quality of life issues, as examples ofits commitment to the community. Locals, however, are skeptical.

In comparison, Duke paid $5.4 million in taxes and fees in 2002-2003, but donated $l4 million worth of municipal services in-kind.

A recent publication from the Office ofPublic Affairs estimates Duke’s direct donations to the community at roughly $5l million, much of it in unpaid health care services.

Yale’s seemingly restrained involvement in New Haven also contrasts greatly with many of Duke’s advancements for city revitalization in Durham in recent years. Duke’s Neighborhood Partnership Initiative, a community-based program founded in 1996 to increase University

outreach in the areas surrounding campus, targets 12 neighborhoods, forming collaborative partnerships with area homeowners associations and seven elementary and middle schools.

Dozens of community service organizations and opportunities, a resourceful Community Service Center and classes with service-learning components are also vital parts of the Duke community’s commitment to Durham.

While Yale may offer students such service opportunities, fulfill all of its mandated financial obligations to the city and implement various programming, many said the university has much room for improvement in the Yale-New Haven relationship.

“Everyone agrees that Yale could do more,” Schuck said.

He said he was moving to avoid bloodshed in a mosque. “I feared that the sanctity of a glorious and esteemed mosque would be violated by scum and evil people,” he said. The Americans “will have no qualms to embark on such actions.”

In Fallujah, 35 miles west of Baghdad, Marines exchanged heavy gunfire with the insurgents on the northeast edge of the city, said Associated Press reporter Lourdes Navarro, who was with the troops. Loud explosions also could be heard from the center of the city, when troops engaged guerrillas before withdrawing at nightfall.

The battle began when a foot patrol that entered a few blocks into the city came under a barrage of fire from a house, wounding two Marines, said Cpl. Christopher Ebert, ofForest City, N.C., who was on the patrol.

Trapped in an alley, they put up red smoke to summon help, and a tank and a Humvee moved in to extract the patrol.

“Insurgents usually fire and run. This time they’re digging in, which is the first time we’ve seen them do that,” Ebert said.

Fallujah General Hospital reported receiving five dead and seven wounded Iraqis.

American commanders have vowed to root out insurgents after last week’s slaying and mutilation offour American civilians. Scenes of Iraqis dragging charred bodies through the streets and hanging two of them from a bridge Wednesday raised revulsion in the United States and showed the depth of anti-U.S. sentiment in the city.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said U.S. troops have captured a number of people in Fallujah in the last 36 hours.

‘They have photographs of a good many people who were involved in the attacks against the individuals and they have been conducting raids in the city against highvalue targets,” Rumsfeld said.

PANEL from page 3 in racial issues. Weiss drew a large circle representing the white population of America which enclosed three much smaller circles representing white supremacist groups, critical race theorists and anti-racism activists.

“These three groups are doing something about race, but what about all these people?” Weiss asked, shading in the large mass of empty space outside of the small circles. “[Race] is just not something we’re encouraged to think about.”

One student asked where a person should be placed on the diagram if they have thought about race and have antiracist thoughts but choose not to take a side. Weiss responded by saying that that non-action was no help to alleviating problems of racism. “I don’t think people who are staying in their comfort zone are morally repugnant,” she said. “But the bottom line is unless we actively try to end racism, it is not going to end.”

Weiss then had students break up into two groups, one of students who felt they benefited from “white privilege” and one of students who did not. The non-

Chris Mordi, a spokesman for Lands’ End, said the company was “glad to have reached a settlement and that we can move forward.” He declined to comment on the company’s contract with Duke, stating that contract information was confidential.

Wilkerson said he was pleased with expedition with which the matter was resolved. “I was hopeful it was going to be resolved within 90 days or so,” he said. “I am a bit surprised that it occurred this quickly, but I think the intervention by universities helped.”

suspended their contracts with the company in the three to six months prior to Duke’s decision.

Before the Lands’ End decision, the last time the University suspended a trademark license contract was in November 2001, when it notified the New Era Cap Company that it would withhold its contract renewal indefinitely due to the company’s unresponsiveness to labor concerns. The New Era contract was reinstated in August 2002.

Wilkerson said Lands' End annually sells about $25,000 at retail of merchandise bearing Duke trademarks, offering tote bags and a host of clothing products for men, women and children. He noted that most of this business is transacted online through Lands' End's own website.

who do not see themselves as white still benefit from “white privilege.”

The “white privilege” group discussed the difference between “white” and “black,” inequities in contemporary society and how “white privilege” could lead to “white guilt.”

Senior Dinah Hannaford, a facilitator for the discussion, discussed the difficulties associated with privilege.

“It’s hard to find pride in your privilege because what privilege means is you haven’t earned it,” she said.

Williams, a sophomore, said she appreciated the perspective Weiss provided, but she added it did not represent the center’s views. “She’s a controversial speaker and she served as a catalyst for discussion,” she said.

Co-director Jason Webster, a senior, provided his own opinions on the status of race relations at Duke.

“It’s like a sixth grade crush where two people want to talk to each other but no one wants to make the first move and then they don’t talk,” he said. “This could be a first step towards improving those relations.”

EDENS from page 4 “Room selection data from the past years really illustrates that students select other quads before Edens,” said Anthony Vitarelli, Campus Council President. “I applaud Carver for his hard work and determination for improving life in Edens.”

Moore hopes to speak with Hull as soon as possible and that some of the proposed changes will be implemented over the summer, though he recognizes that many will depend on the budget of Housing Services and what is deemed appropriate by administrators. “I’m certain that Dean Hull welcomes their suggestions and will take them quite seriously,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, in an e-mail. “Final decisions about the res-

idence halls rest with him and I know that he’s delighted with the leadership exhibited by each of the Quad Councils (and Campus Council) and will work closely with the Council (s) on implementation where appropriate and within available resources.”

Hull was unavailable for comment The resolution will be brought to the attention of Hull, Moneta and Tony Bumphus, facilities manager of the West II Service Office. DSC and Campus Council will have the chance to involve themselves as well if they choose to do so. Moore said he would like the final resolution to circulate among future inhabitants of Edens.

to add to

political tensions between the countries, a friction already increasing over trade issues, human rights abuses and arms sales to Taiwan.

Chinese officials characterized their decision as mild, and did not officially rule out allowing universal suffrage in the next elections for Hong Kong’s chief executive, to be held in 2007. Beijing officials declared that they intended to “push forward” Hong Kong’s political development, but only when the “actual situation” permits, and only according to a “gradual and two

orderly process.”

But after huge street demonstrations in Hong Kong last year against a Beijingbacked internal security law, the ruling Tuesday seemed tailored to ensure that the

territory not fall under the control of people the Communist Party considers dangerous or disloyal. That category includes Hong Kong’s most popular advocates for

greater democracy.

Chinese leaders are especially nervous about the threat democracy poses to their one-party system after Taiwan voters reelected Chen Shui-bian as president last month. Beijing sees Chen as plotting to formally separate Taiwan from China and had hoped that voters would elect Taiwan’s opposition party, which promised to improve ties across the Taiwan Strait.

Hong Kong, which is much richer and more Westernized than the Chinese mainland, had been widely expected to become a local democracy—albeit under Beijing’s oversight—by 2008. That is the earliest date permitted in the Basic Law for free elections for all legislative seats and for the

conference.

Qiao said that under China’s centralized political system, local governments, even Hong Kong’s nominally autonomous government, could not pass or implement laws without central approval.

“A locality has no fixed power,” he said.

“All powers of the locality derive from the authorization of the central authorities.”

The Basic Law already outlines a process for changes to the way Hong Kong selects its chief executive and members of its Legislative Council. The document calls for changes to be agreed to by the chief executive.

chief executive, the territory’s top official.

But after public demands for more democracy intensified in Hong Kong in the past few months, China asserted a prerogative to interpret two important clauses in the Basic Law that set out the process for introducing and carrying out changes to the electoral system.

In the ruling issued by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the central government decreed that it has the right to decide whether there is “a need” to introduce democratic changes. If it agrees that there is a need, it mandates that the chief executive—and, pointedly, not the now partly democratic legislature—should draft and introduce such changes.

The current chief executive, Tung Cheehwa, was handpicked by Beijing for the job.

ACC on pace to obliterate competition After sending two of its teams to the Final Four and obtaining the No. 1 conference RPI record, by all accounts the ACC had a phenomenal year. As the last season before the conference expands to 11 teams, 2004 was seen as the capstone of an unbelievable conference format.

Despite all of its successes in the last year that the conference will include two games between each school, ACC historians of the future will see 2004 not as the end of a great era, but a gathering storm for an even more dominant conference. Miami and Virginia Tech will not improve the conference at all (from a basketball standpoint), but the ACC’s powers—Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, N.C. State, Maryland and Georgia Tech—all have futures at least as bright as their pasts.

The catalyst for Duke’s future success was Krzyzewski’s 2002 recruiting class that included JJ. Redick, Shelden Williams, Shavlik Randolph, Sean Dockery, Michael Thompson and Lee Melchionni. Rated the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, the group was considered a slight disappointment during its freshman season. Though somewhat successful, the group was considered inferior to Syracuse’s tandem of Gerry McNamara and Carmelo Anthony and Georgia Tech’s JarrettJack and Chris Bosh, as well as the'North Carolina trio of Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton and Sean May. Although Thompson has transferred and Melchionni has not seen much action, the group has emerged as the best pack of sophomores in the nation, and perhaps more importandy, none seem likely to leave early for the NBA. This stability from such a large group of players has allowed Krzyzewski to recruit players who may be more tempted by the League, as even if the likes of Shaun Livingston and Luol Deng spend a very short amount of time in Durham, the Blue Devils will still be a perennial top-10 team. Players like Deng and Livinston only add icing to the ambitious cake Krzyzewski is baking. Future recruits such as Greg Paulus and Josh Mcßoberts also have talents that lend themselves more to the college game than the professional one.

Expect the Duke hating to continue well into the future.

North Carolina: Even if Rashad McCants leaves for the NBA and the Tar Heels lose one recruit to the pros and one to the penal system, North Carolina is inching closer to its talent levels of the 1990s every day. Roy Williams’ first season at the helm was somewhat disappointing, but his ability to recruit and motivate will have Carolina as •

The Husky women hold up their well-earnedtrophy after knocking offrival Tennessee 70-61 for theirthird straight national title.

Huskies complete basketball sweep

by Lynn Zinser NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Far from the NEW ORLEANS bonfires in Storrs and the echoes of the men’s team’s celebration in San Antonio, the Connecticut women’s basketball team held up its part of the party, winning a third consecutive national title with a 70-61 victory over Tennessee on Tuesday night at New Orleans Arena. That capped a UConn sweep of the men’s and women’s NCAAbasketball titles, a feat no other college had accomplished.

The Huskies proved too much for the Lady Vols, putting on spurts of offense in both halves. In between, Tennessee battled with tenacious defense and rebounding to make it a game, but UConn’s higher-powered offense eventually came through.

With the victory, UConn coach Auriemmaraised his total to five Geno Volunteers, at her who lost Tennessee coach Pat Summit yells to national championships, behind only the Huskies in the title game for the second straight season.

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt’s six, and kept UConn a perfect 5-0 in national championship games.

The Huskies beat Tennessee for last season’s title, as well.

This time, it was a crowning moment for UConn guard Diana Taurasi, who played her final college game, scoring 17 points and walking off as the best player on a three-time championship team; she is destined to be known as one of the best women’s college basketball players ever.

The victory ended a whirlwind couple of days for UConn athletic director Jeff Hathaway, who was flying back and forth between San Antonio for the men’s Final Four games and New Orleans for the women’s. He arrived here at 12:30 Tuesday afternoon for the women’s final.

The baseball team (15-17) entered the heart ofits season last weekend against Virginia, which took all three games of the opening series of Duke’s month-long homestand.

MEN’S TENNIS 1 VS. NORTH CAROLINA

ACC prominence by

on

the line against UNC

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

With the ACC regular season championship hanging in the balance, the fifthranked men’s tennis squad (16-5, 4-1 in the ACC) will be taking on a 14th-ranked North Carolina team (20-2, 6-0) that sits atop the conference standings. The Tar Heels, winners of seven straight, could put themselves in prime position in the ACC with a victory in Durham Wednesday at 2 p.m.

“It’s going to be a really good college tennis match,” Duke head coach Jay Lapidus said. “Their coach [Sam Paul] has done an unbelievable job with them.”

The Blue Devils are a hot team as well, as they have won five consecutive matches, with the last one representing Lapidus’ 300th career victory. Duke has not only won but has won in style, with only one of those matches as close as 5-2. The play of top dogs Phillip King (ranked fifth in the nation) and Ludovic Walter (17th) has had a large part in the recent success, and they will need to continue to perform at a high level if Duke is to beat rival UNC. ‘They have a good team and it should be a tough match,” Walter said. “But hopefully we’ll win that one.”

North Carolina is led by senior Nicolas Monroe, who is ranked No. 32 in the nation. Monroe has guided the Tar Heels to recent wins over a then-No. 42 Wake Forest team and then-No. 12 Virginia. The upset win handed the Cavaliers only their second loss of the season.

The Blue Devils have won nine straight matches over UNC, reversing the historical dominance of the Tar Heels in this matchup. The last time North Carolina

SOOJIN PARK/THE CHRONICLE

Ludovic Walter and theBlue Devilsface a monumental task in arch rival North Carolina. won was April 11, 1996, but UNC holds an 83-26 edge in the all-time series.

“It’s going to be a good match,” King said. “Then again, we have one bad match and they haven’t had any bad

matches in the ACC.” The rest of the Duke squad has been nearly as solid as the top two, with junior Jason Zimmerman and sophomore Jonathan Stokke performing well in both

singles and doubles. Zimmerman and Stokke play No. 1 and No. 2 doubles with Walter and King, respectively. The No.l pair currendy ranks fifth in the nadon, with No. 2 only eleven spots behind at 16th.

“We had been struggling a little bit but now we’re playing much better,” Walter said.

In singles play, Zimmerman has won with relative ease, playing only one threeset match during the Duke winning streak.

Stokke has not been quite as successful, but the. Chapel Hill native has still managed to triumph in four of his last five singles contests.

“I keep trying to improve mentally, trying to stay more focused on the court, not give away too many free points,” Zimmerman said when asked about his success over the past two weeks.

Two other UNC seniors, Andy Metzler and Ben Aiken, have teamed with Monroe to steer the Tar Heels to their best start in 26 years. Monroe and Metzler have combined for a 31-8 record over the year and are considered to be valuable team leaders.

“We just try to stay on top of the guys as far as just staying on our mission,” Monroe said.

The match represents the final home contest of the regular season, and seniors Darin Goldstein, Ryan Heinberg and King will be playing the last regular season home matches of their careers. In the time that these players have been at Duke, the team has put up a record of 79-27 and has won three regular season ACC championships, two ACC tournament titles, and played in the NCAA tournament three times. King has accumulated 75 singles victories and is a three-time All-American.

WOMEN’S TENNIS I VS. TEXAS

Streaking Duke set to smash Longhorns by

Chrissie Gorman THE CHRONICLE

Duke is 6-0 in the ACC. Texas is 7-0 in the

Big 12. However, the two women’s tennis teams’ dominant conference play will be

tossed aside as the inter-conference rivals face off tomorrow at Ambler Stadium.

With a match against the Longhorns (153) kicking off its four-match homestand, Duke (15-1) hopes to ride its 14-match win streak and 25-match home winning streak right past the Longhorns, who are coming off a 5-2 win at Wake Forest.

Duke also cruised past the Demon Deacons with a 5-2 victory March 31, winning at the No. 1 singles spot and spots 3 through 6, after Wake Forest took the doubles point.

The doubles point proved to be the deciding factor when Duke met Texas last year in Austin. The Blue Devils managed tight 9-7 and 8-6 wins at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles before blasting by the Longhorns at No. 3, 8-0. Duke scraped by with a 4-3 win, fueled by its doubles sweep.

However, last season when the two teams met in Austin, the rankings were a little different. The Blue Devils were ranked No. 4., as they are now, but the Longhorns were No. 35, a striking differencefrom the team’s current No. 14 spot.

‘Texas has a couple new girls and their ranking has improved,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “I look at this match like a quarterfinal NCAA match. We are both right in that mix between three and ten, and it’s going to be good to see where we are. We’re playing better than we have all SEE TEXAS ON PAGE

ACC from page 13 the envy of the college basketball world soon enough. UNC may never reach the peak

enjoyed under Dean Smith again, and Williams’ teams at North Carolina may never match up to the ones he led at Kansas, but at least one Final Four appearance in the next five years from the Tar Heels is a highly conservative prediction.

Wake Forest; Chris Paul, Justin Gray and Eric Williams will be the best trio in the nation next season. Paul, a la TJ. Ford, could obtain National Player of the Year status next year, and Gray will wind up on several All-American teams in 2005. Williams is one of the most bruising forwards in the game, and should clean up on the boards. The Demon Deacons do not have the supporting cast like many otherACC teams, but they may not need one.

N.C. State: For all of his critics, Herb Sendek has built up quite a program at N.C. State. Julius Hodge, too skinny for NBA scouts, should be back next season, and there are few reasons why the 2004 ACC Player of the Year will not win the award again. The Wolfpack should be less deep than they were this season, but if any player can single-handedly will his team to victory, it’s Hodge.

Maryland: The youngest team in the ACC won the conference tournament this year, which may have been the most frightening sight for opposing ACC coaches in 2004. John Gilchrist and company will play close to the level of their ACC tournament for the entire season in 2005, making a win over the Terrapins one of the most difficult feats in college basketball. Much like Krzyzewski, head coach Gary Williams also should be reaching his coaching prime in the coming years.

Georgia Tech: Perhaps the brightest future belongs to the Ramblin’ Wreck. The runner-up in the NCAA championship game, Paul Hewitt’s squad surprised many this •

March. But don’t expect Final Four runs to come more easily for, the Yellow Jackets in the future. The 2004 team got hot at the right time, and the chances of this occurring again are low. Jarrett Jack may test the NBA waters this spring, and it is my feeling that the sophomore guard will use the capital he gained in the NCAA Tournament to fuel his entry into the NBA Draft. While BJ. Elder and Luke Schenscher could sting opponents with their play this season, Jack was the honey that stuck the Yellow Jackets together for their tournament run. Jack made the plays in the clutch, with the exception of Will Bynum’s game-tying drive against Oklahoma State in the national semifinal, and without the point guard, GeorgiaTech is just an above average team.

The rest of the ACC: Florida State showed flashes ofbrilliance this year, but ultimately left its NCAA Tournament dreams unfulfilled. Seminoles head coach Leonard Hamilton will improve the Tallahassee school’s prospects in the coming years, but perennial appearances in the Big Dance will be out of the football school's reach. Much of the same can be said about Clemson.

Though Oliver Purnell is a tremendous coach who built up a successful Dayton program, his Tigers get beaten up too much by the conference's powers for any long-term success to be found. The University of Virginia is largely out of perennial contention as long as Pete Gillen is at the helm.

Miami and Virginia Tech will likely be cupcake games for the traditional powers.

In ESPN.com’s Andy Katz’s preview of next year’s college basketball season, he places five ACC teams in the top 10 ofhis preseason rankings. This is a very biased and realistic assessment ofthe league next year. And for all the history the league has seen, things are only going to get better on the Atiantic Coast. *

UCONN from page 13 tors would like to be in his position.

“It’s pretty special, isn’t it?” Hathaway said. “I think we like expectations. I don’t think anyone at UConn shies away from expectadons. That’s the beauty of our programs. Success brings more success and more expectadons.”

UConn had a rough stretch early in the first half when Taurasi committed two turnovers and missed a 3-pointer and Tennessee’s Tasha Butts converted one of those turnovers into a breakaway layup for a 6-4 lead.

But those woes did not last.

Taurasi answered with a 16-foot jumper on UConn’s next possession, starting a 235 run for the Huskies that put Tennessee in danger of being run off the court in the first half.

The Lady Vols, who shot poorly in their semifinal victory over LSU, were faring no better in this game, making just five of their first 21 shots. The misses came from everywhere, inside and out.

The Huskies were contesting the Lady Vols’ attempts in the lane and stifling nearly everything. Over the same stretch, the Huskies were shooting 66.7 percent and slicing through Tennessee’s normally tough defense. With 8 minutes 19 seconds left in the half, the Huskies had made four 3-pointers and led by 27-11.

The Huskies even had the luxury of resting Taurasi for stretches of the half.

The Lady Vols’ offensive rebounding was the only thing keeping the game from being a mismatch. They scored three baskets off offensive rebounds, cutting UConn’s lead slighdy, to 30-17 with 4:12 -

left. At that point, Tennessee was outrebounding UConn, 20-11. In the half, Tennessee had 11 offensive rebounds to UConn’s one.

Tennessee’s rally at the end of the half—including its first successful 3-pointer, by Shanna Zolman, and six straight misses by UConn—cut the deficit to 30-24 at halftime.

The Lady Vols continued their improvement early in the second half, immediately cutting into the lead with another jumper by Zolman, who added one more basket and two more 3-pointers to get Tennessee to 4136 with 15:04 left in the game.

Her scoring was making up for the absence of the Lady Vols’ leading scorer, Shyra Ely, who left the game early in the second halfwith an ankle injury.

She eventually returned, but while she was out, UConn took advantage inside.

Huskies center Jessica Moore scored 8 points on moves to the basket to hold up UConn’s offense.

Both teams made runs to try to take control, UConn scoring three consecutive baskets, including a 3-pointer by Taurasi, to go ahead, 48-38 with 13:06remaining.

Tennessee answered with a 7-0 run to cut that to 48-45 with 11:21 left. Zolman was still hitting from long range and Moore was still doing most of the work for the Huskies, the inside and outside games providing a contrast.

But although the Lady Vols kept getting close, they could not seem to seize the lead.

With a chance to tie after Zolman made the score 50-48 with a 3-pointer with 9:50 left, the Lady Vols committed a turnover attempting a pass to Ely under the basket.

UConn then stretched its lead to 54-48 with two strong possessions. Tennessee never caught up.

The Sports Department would like to formally offer its assistance in putting out the fires set in Storrs, Conn., by students from the University of Connecticut.

THE CHRONICLE

TEXAS from page 16 year [and] it would be a great confidence booster for us to play well [against Texas].”

After stumbling against Tulane April 2 with 84 and 8-3 losses at the second and third doubles flights respectively, the Longhorns won the doubles point against Wake Forest yesterday with wins at No. 1 and No. 2.

For Duke, freshman Tory Zawacki and sophomore Julia Smith will play in the featured doubles match. The duo have only recently been paired together, and their play has consistently improved over the last few matches, according to Ashworth.

‘Julia is playing the best doubles that she has in two years at Duke,” Ashworth said. “It’s a big week for us, so hopefully they can establish themselves.”

Widi only one senior and no juniors on its team, Texas has relied on its young talent this season.

‘Texas’ youth has helped them a lot,” Ashworth said. “We both have three freshmen in the top six, so every match is a new experience for the teams. This is only the second time the [Texas] freshmen have played top-five teams. For us, it is a matter of how we are going to react with four straight matches...hopefully we’re mature enough to handle it.”

In singles action, freshman Petra Dizdar has led her squad.

Ranked No. 18, Dizdar is a standout player from Croatia who was ranked as high as 72 in the ITF World Junior Tennis Rankings.

Senior Amanda Johnson, No. 9 in the nation, will be the fifth top-ten player to face Dizdar this season. Dizdar has lost to all four she has faced so far, including No. 1 Alexis Gordon of the University ofFlorida. Johnson, who holds an 18-10 singles record this year, beat Gordon earlier this year at the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships.

Although not a league opponent, Texas has been a strong perennial opponent for the Blue Devils. In 1993, the Longhorns knocked Duke out of the NCAA tournament en route to the national championship. More recendy, in 2002, the No. 4 Blue Devils defeated No. 7 Texas, 5-2. Although Duke has defeated the Longhorns three times during the previous two seasons, facing Texas will be a challenge for the Blue Devils.

‘Texas is probably better than their number and have played a tougher schedule than us,” Ashworth said. ‘They are not going to fear anything. We have always had really good matches with them.”
