THE CHRONICLE
A student was robbed at knifepoint early Sunday morning at the corner of Erwin Road and Anderson Street. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta notified the student body of the incident in an e-mail later Sunday morning. The student told Duke police that he was walking home alone from Cafe Parizade on Main Street after getting into a fight with his friends. When he reached the intersection of Erwin Road and Anderson Street around 1:50 a.m., he was approached by two black males who asked him for money. When the student said he did not have any money, one of the suspects pulled out a knife. The two men took the student’s wallet, which contained a driver’s license, bank card, video card and WalMart card with a combined value of $5O. The student described the suspects, who fled after taking his wallet, as wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes and gray sweat-type jackets with hoods. Maj. Phyllis Cooper of the Duke University Police Department said Duke police are working with Durham police to investigate the incident. “We will be stopping and talking to students and any in the area where this incident occurred to see if they saw anything,” she said. “We’ll also be stopping and IDing any suspicious person in the area.” Security has been a prime topic of conversation, on campus since a student was robbed, presumably at gunpoint, in the Bryan Center in November 2003. Last month, a student was reportedly raped on West Campus and, just two days later, SEE ROBBERY ON PAGE 5

Mickelson captures Masters, first major by

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
AUGUSTA, Ga. Finally, it was Phil Mickelson’s time. For years, Mickelson chased a dream that seemed as elusive as a butterfly. But on the final hole of the 68th Masters Sunday, the butterfly was finally captured. Punctuating a brilliant back-nine charge by sinking an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole, Mickelson edged Ernie Els by a stroke and claimed one of the most scintillating tournaments in the history ofAugusta National Golf Club. The moment Mickelson had longed for was as good as it gets in golf. For a split second, his winning putt hung tantalizingly on the left edge before it circled the
hole and finally disappeared into the cup. Mickelson jumped for joy, and everyone who witnessed the scene sensed his elation. After the close calls, the disappointments and the criticism that accompanied being the world’s best player without a major championship, Mickelson seized his moment, shooting an improbable 5-under-par 31 on Augusta’s nerveracking back nine. It was the lowest back nine by a winner since Jack Nicklaus’ 31 in 1986, and for Mickelson, the feeling was everything he expected. “I really don’t know what to say, to tell you how awesome it feels,” Mickelson said after his 23rd career victory, but his first SEE MICKELSON ON PAGE 5
Proposed damage policy scrutinized Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE
by
As the University considers a policy to charge students for damages to their residence halls, students are thinking about whether membership in selective living groups should be a factor in their accountability. Eddie Hull, director of Residence Life and Housing Services, announced last week that the University is re-examining its residential damage policy, in part because independent students are not held financially responsible for damage to their residence halls, whereas students in selective living groups are.
Students
Students recognized the double standard, but most—whether affiliated with a selective living group or not—said two sets of practices are merited. “Since the selective students choose to live together, they have some sort of structure so they can influence each other,” said sophomore Marvin Wickware, who lives in Crowell Quadrangle. “But I don’t have any influence over people I don’t know.” Wickware noted that there is a window near his room that has been broken several times this semester, but that he does not know who is responsible for the repeated damage. He said it would be “completely
ridiculous” to charge him and the other members ofhis hall to replace the window. Senior Ben Peterson, a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, agreed that members of living groups have a greater responsibility for their surroundings than unaffiliated students because they all know each other and have greater influence over each other’s behavior. “How do you fine somebody just because he lives next door to the damage?” Peterson asked, adding that in selective groups students know their hallmates. Most students did not believe that SEE POLICY ON PAGE 5
A now-defunct student-run travel company may have cheated dozens of Duke students out of over $25,000 through various trip schemes in the past year. Three freshmen filed complaints with the Duke University Police Department Friday after their repeated attempts to recoup funds from a botched spring break trip were unsuccessful. The three had purchased spring break trips from Duke Travels, a student-operated organization, but the trips never materialized and their reimbursement checks from the company bounced. “There’s little reason or confidence to believe we’re getting our money back,” said freshman David Cardenas, one of the victims. “At least, by doing this, we prevent [the organizer] from doing a future crime.” Cardenas and two friends, who each paid $799 for their all-expenses paid trip to Cancun, Mexico, originally saw a flyer promoting the travel company and its trips on East Campus in September 2003. The flyer—proclaiming “the way Duke travels!!”—promoted the spring break trip to Cancun as well as “Spring Break Miami,” “Ski Weekend 2004,” ‘DukeCruise 2004,” “Myrtle 2004” and “Mardi Gras 2004.” “We basically thought since they were using the school’s name they were a legitimate company,” Cardenas said. But shortly after signing up on the company’s website", ■www.duketravels.com, and paying a $lOO deposit, the students became concerned when they could not obtain any information about their trip from the company. It was not until the day before spring break began, March 5, when Cardenas and his friends were notified by Cyril Broderick, who also uses the name Joe, that their trips were nonexistent. “It [was upsetting], especially psychologically and emotionally—here we are anxiously awaiting a trip from October,” Cardenas said. “We were still trying to make the best of it, but no matter how much we tried to forget about it, the whole week we were thinking about Cancun.” The 12 students whose trips to Cancun never materialized were not the only purported victims of DukeTravels.

Hundreds of FALLUJAH, Iraq reinforcements joined fellow Marines
besieging Fallujah Saturday, and the U.S. military said it would move to take the city if cease-fire talks fail. Fighting raged through the center of the country, killing 40 Iraqis and an American airman. Militants threatened to kill and mutilate an American civilian they captured Friday if U.S. troops in Fallujah do not withdraw. Gunfire crackled in the city, even as Iraqi government negotiators met with Fallujah leaders to persuade
them to hand over militants who killed and mutilated four Americans here March 31. Insurgents offered to call a truce if U.S. troops leave Fallujah—a condition the Americans appeared unlikely to accept. Nearly 60,000 Fallujah residents, about one third of the population, have fled over the past two days, a Marine commander said. Elsewhere, militants hit a U.S. air base with mortars in Balad, north of Baghdad, killing an airman. Other fighters attacked government buildings and police stations in Baqouba, setting off firelights in which about 40 Iraqis were killed. Several U.S. troops were
wounded, said Capt. Issam Bornales, spokesperson for the Ist Infantry Division’s 3rd Brigade. Insurgents also fought U.S. troops in Baghdad’s northern, mainly Sunni neighborhood of al-Azamiyah. Masked gunmen caused havoc on the road between Baghdad and Fallujaha key supply route. Nearby, guerrillas hit a U.S. tank with an rocket-propelled grenade, setting it ablaze. Militants threatened to kill American hostage Thomas Hamill, 43, of Macon, Miss., whose capture Friday during another convoy ambush in the area was the latest in a series of kid-
nappings in Iraq.
Briefing says al Qaeda was active in U.S. by
Jehl
Douglas and David Sanger NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
briefing document showed that Bush was given more specific and contemporary information about terrorist threats than the White House had previously acknowledged. As recently as Thursday, the White House described the brief only as a “historical” account of al Qaeda activity. The release of the document is bound to fan the alreadyfierce debate about whether Bush and his team acted aggressively enough to confront the threat posed by al Qaeda in the weeks and months before the Sept. 11 attacks. The president’s critics are likely to embrace the unresolved nature of some of the warnings as a further indication that Bush had ample information about the possibility of a terrorist attack in the United States and should have exhorted his senior advisers toward additional action.
WASHINGTON The classified briefing about al Qaeda that President George W. Bush received a month before the Sept. 11, attacks reported that the terrorist network had maintained an active presence in the United States for years, was suspected of recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York and could be preparing for domestic hijackings. However, the briefing did not point to any specific time or place of attack and did not warn that planes could be used as missiles. After releasing the “President’s Daily Brief’ Saturday night. White House officials said that none of the information given to the president at his ranch on Aug. 6, 2001, was later linked to the attacks. But the page-and-a-quarter-long

Thousands involved in protest in Hong Kong by
Keith Bradsher
NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
HONG KONG Thousands of demonstrators wearing black armbands marched through downtown streets here Sunday afternoon to peacefully protest the Chinese government’s decision Tuesday to limit further moves by this territory toward democracy. After a large but violent demonstration in Taipei, Taiwan, Saturday over an election dispute there, the rally here was another reminder of the strong democratic sentiments now bubbling around China’s periphery. Vice President Dick Cheney, in Japan Sunday, is scheduled to visit Beijing and Shanghai from Tuesday to Thursday. The State Department has been increasingly critical in recent weeks of China’s efforts to restrict Hong Kong’s democratic development. Organizers estimated that “more than 15,000” people took part in Sunday’s march here, while the police declined to provide a figure. The unexpectedly large turnout for an event only scheduled Tuesday night and held on a holiday weekend was the latest sign of the growing politicization of a city once known for its preoccupation with prosperity. Many in the crowd were middle-aged, and said in interviews that they were unaccustomed to involvement in public protests. Some only became politically active last summer, when 500,000 people marched in a successful effort to force the government to withdraw plans for a stringent internal-security law. A few said Sunday’s protest was their first. ‘The central government is trying to put more controls on Hong Kong’s people,” said May Tam, 53, who said she was a homemaker who had never been to a demonstration before but was worried about the future of her three grown children as Beijing clamps down. Tam and many others here want to introduce universal suffrage with the next elections for the chief executive in 2007 and for all seats in the Legislative Council in elections in 2008. A committee of 800 prominent citizens, most with ties to Beijing, currently chooses candidates to run for chief executive. Halfthe seats in the 60memberLegislative Council in the next elections
for that body Sept. 12 will be reserved for various special interests, most of them friendly to Beijing, while the rest will be selected by the public. The Standing Committee of the Communist Party-controlled National People’s Congress ruled in Beijing last Tuesday that Hong Kong’s chief executive would have to obtain its approval before submitting any electoral reform bills to the legislature. The ruling was issued as an official interpretation, which has the force of law, of Hong Kong’s Basic Law, the miniconstitution that this territory has followed since Britain handed it over to China in 1997. The ruling angered many here because the Basic Law calls for an eventual move to universal suffrage and lays out a procedure for electoral changes. That procedure appears to call for Beijing’s assent only at the end of the political process here, which might make it hard for Beijing to veto a plan with broad support in Hong Kong. As with most other political demonstrations here in the past year, the protest Sunday was peaceful. The crowd assembled on Hong Kong’s most fashionable boulevard, where stores like Cartier and Chanel stayed open throughout. The only store that rolled down gray steel shutters was Van Cleef & Arpels, a jewelry store that remained open for visitors inside the office building that houses it. By contrast, the Taipei police said Sunday night that 118 police officers had been injured in Saturday’s demonstration, and that at least 46 demonstrators had told the authorities that they were injured in the disturbance as well, although more may have gone home. The police arrested 19 during the protest. In a gesture certain to irritate Beijing, several Hong Kong demonstrators waved very large Taiwanese flags. Jimmy So, the vice chair of a local neighborhood service and youth athletics committee, said he was carrying the flag because it was a symbol of the Republic ofChina and Sun Yat-sen, the founder of republican China nearly a century ago, and a figure claimed by Communists and Taiwan’s Nationalists alike. The march Sunday passed within a few blocks of where Sun Yat-sen used to live and meet with fellow revolutionaries in the late 1800s.

An employee reported at 11:45 p.m. April 9 that a $lO set of car keys and an $BO Nokia cell phone were stolen from his jacket. The victim last saw the items at 7 p.m. April 9 when he was in the smoking area of Duke University Medical Center with one of his patients. The victim left his jacket in the smoking area and returned the patient to the second floor. The victim said a man returned his jacket to him at approximately 11 p.m. When the victim asked the man where his keys and cell phone were, the man replied, “My son took your keys and cell out of the jacket and he left with his mother.” The man told the victim he would be able to get the items back on Sunday when his son would come to visit him. When the officer spoke with the man, he changed his story several times and claimed that his son did not have the victim’s property. Man cited again for trespassing A passerby reported at 9:30 p.m. April 10 that a suspicious person near the Bivens Lot was approaching people and asking for money. No suspect description was given. Units checked the area but were unable to locate the suspect. A couple of minutes later, a student reported that a suspicious person near Randolph dormitory was asking for money. The student described the suspect as a black male, about 6’2”, wearing a gray T-shirt and blue jeans. A subject fitting the description was located by officers in a parking lot near Whole Foods. The suspect was identified as Willie Graham Burton, a 41-year-old black male residing at 410 Liberty St. Burton, who could not be reached for comment, had previously trespassed on Duke property.

Palestinians fight for Hezbollah against Israel by
Ravi Nessman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Islamic group JERUSALEM Hezbollah has become a key sponsor of Palestinian violence, funding suicide bombings that have killed dozens of Israelis in recent months, Israeli intelligence sources, Palestinian Authority officials and militants have told The Associated Press. The Iranian-backed group, based in Lebanon, first earned a foothold in the 3year-old Palestinian uprising by giving money to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, ideological allies that also seek the destruction of Israel. In recent months, it has pulled off something akin to a hostile takeover of some of cells of the A1 Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, wrenching them away from Yasser Arafat’s secular Fatah movement and turning them into a proxy army. A1 Aqsa members in the West Bank city
ofNablus say they speak with their Hezbollah handlers by phone almost daily. Israeli security officials say Hezbollah trains some Palestinian militants abroad, instructing them in weapons and bomb-making. Hezbollah does not seem to be issuing specific instructions about targets or timing. One A1 Aqsa member said his Hezbollah contact urges him to carry out attacks whenever the opportunity arises, in “any way possible.” Israeli officials say Hezbollah helps coordinate joint shootings and bombings by the three Palestinian militant groups and has been trying to spur Israel’s Arab citizens—who have mostly stayed out of the uprising—to join in. Israel’s Shin Bet security service says that since 2003, six Hezbollah cells have been discovered among Israeli Arabs. Hezbollah does not elaborate on what support it gives, but after the assassination
of Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin in March, it promised to do whatever possible to help Hamas exact revenge. A senior Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described Hezbollah’s involvement in the Palestinian intifada, or uprising, as “immense.” ‘They are all over the place and they give a lot of money,” the official said, adding that Iran might be using Hezbollah to fund Palestinian militants. Many Palestinians admire Hezbollah, crediting its 18-year guerrilla war with having forced Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon in 2000. It’s a model Palestinian militants would like to emulate. In Lebanon, Hezbollah, meaning “Party of God,” is seen not only as a militant group, but as an influentialand legitimate political force, with schools, clinics, a TV station and members in Parliament. Hezbollah still launches occasional at-
tacks on Israel over a minor border dispute, but the issue inspires little passion. Its search for new relevance has led it to the Palestinians, said Ibrahim Bayram, an analyst with Lebanon’s An-Nahar daily. “Whether here or in Palestine, Hezbollah considers resisting the Israeli occupation to be part ofits own struggle,” he said. “If the intefadeh ends, the justification for its [military] existence ends too.” Supporting Palestinian militants from afar also allows Hezbollah to keep in good standing with its own backers, Iran and Syria, said Shlomo Brom, a former senior officer in Israeli military intelligence. ‘This way, they can continue operating against Israel without really paying a price,” Brom said. Money is often funneled to the militants through money-changers, bank transfers and couriers coming in from abroad, Israeli officials said.
Libya to convert missiles to defensive weapons by
In discussions in London and Tripoli, the Libyan capital, U.S, and British officials asked Libya to declare publicly that it was renouncing trade with North Korea. The officials also asked Libya to neutralize its stockpile of medium-range Scud-B missiles, either by destroying them or by converting them to shorter-range, less destructive weapons intended for defensive use. U.S. officials said Libya’s latest decision was yet another indication that Col. Moammar Gadhafi, the Libyan leader, was sincere in his stated desire to cany out his Dec. 19 pledge to abandon the country’s unconventional weapons and programs to acquire them. Libya has already given up the longer-range Scud-C missiles that it secretiy purchased from North Korea,

In keeping with its pledge to destroy its unconventional weapons, Libya has told U.S. officials that it will convert hundreds of its Scud-B missiles into shorter-range, less powerful weapons for purely defensive purposes and end all military trade with North Korea, U.S. officials said last week. The officials said in interviews that Libya had also agreed to make a public declaration ofits decision soon. President George W. Bush’s administration has told Libyan officials that the United States will not lift trade sanctions against Libya unless it ends support for terrorism and takes action to dismantle existing weapons that threaten its neighbors.

along with equipment and materials related to nuclear and chemical weapons. Last month, Libya sent the five Scud-C missiles, to the United States for safekeeping. But Libya had not decided on the fate of its shorter-range Russian-made Scud-Bs, which have a range of 300 kilometers, or about 185 miles, and warheads with a payload of 1,000 kilograms, or about 2,200 pounds, of explosives. In testimony in February before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Paula A. DeSutter, an assistant secretary of state, testified that Libya declared in principle that it wouldrestrict itself to missiles with a range that complies with the standard of the Missile Technology Control Regime, an international standard for categorizing longer-range missiles.

increasing accountability would add to a sense of community in quads by inspiring students to discourage destructive behavior. Sophomore Reed Shaffner, president of Crowell Quad, said he did not think charging residents for damage would encourage anyone to turn in students who inflict damage. In fact, he said, it might create division among a hall if a student were to report someone. The issue of whether independent students should be communally charged for damage to their residential halls is part of a larger question about the different sets of responsibilities and privileges that different groups of students have in on-campus housing. At present, only student groups officially chartered by Duke Student Government may register events, which are described in student organization advising resources as a “party, concert or other so-
ROBBERY
dal gathering.” Any event that is publicized or has decorations or a theme must be registered. Since independent students who live together are rarely formally organized, this has the de facto effect of limiting their ability to throw parties, students said. Most students would like to allow unaffiliated students to register parties and then hold the organizers equally responsible for any damage that occurs during those events. “It’s easier for selective houses to be responsible for cleanup right now,” said Vigdis Bronder, a senior in Maxwell House. She said that Maxwell is regularly called upon to clean up trash and damage that occurs near its living area, even when no one affiliated with the group was responsible for the mess. However, she said this obligation was part of the trade-off for access to common room space and the other benefits of affiliation with a selective living group. “Until independents are given the same social rights to hold organized social events, they shouldn’t be held responsible,” Bronder said.

BLUE DEVILS CLAIM SEASON’S FIRST TITLE by

THE CHRONICLE
from a stress fracture in his back to compete in his first tournament of the spring, Ryan Blaum helped lead the Blue Devils to their first victory this season. The men’s golf team captured the Courtyard by Harriot Intercollegiate by 15 strokes over Kansas at the MacGregor Down Country Club in Cary, N.C. “It was probably the finest team effort that I’ve had from a team and this is my 31st year at duke,” Duke head coach Rod Myers said. “Our guys just played superbly over there.” Blaum, who just last week played his first round of golf in months, struggled in Friday’s opening
round, shooting a 79. However, once he settled down and got used to being out on the course again, his scores dropped. He carded a 65 Friday afternoon and followed it with a round of 68 Saturday, good enough to take seventh place overall. “Our team had played very well in the last two tournaments,” Myers said. “Our hope was that once we got Ryan back in the lineup we’d really be strong.” Sophomore Alex Wilson had Duke’s best performance, stringing together three rounds —all under par. After shoodng a first-round 68, he played the next 36 holes two-under and finished tied for third. He was nine strokes behind the winner, Bill Haas, who compiled a three-round total of 201.

Johns Hopkins 6, Duke 5
Men’s lacrosse a second late by
Jesse Shuger-Colvin CHRONICLE THE
The men’s lacrosse team was one second and one bounce away from resurrecdng its season Saturday. Trailing Johns Hopkins 6-5 in the last minute and with the white-knuckle tension that accompanies such situations, the Blue Devils’ Matt Zash picked up a bouncing ball and flung it towards the net. And then there were two sounds: the cheer from the crowd, which meant that Zash’s shot had gone in, and the buzzer, which meant the game was over. As the Hopkins players rushed the field and some Blue Devils celebrated nearby, the only question was—which sound came first? Did the shot beat the buzzer? Was No. 13 Duke going to overtime with the second-ranked team in the country? Or did the Blue Devils just lose their third straight onegoal game at home? What was it going to be—doomed euphoria on Duke’s part or overtime? Unfortunately for the home team, it was the former. The game was over. Zash’s bounce shot did not count because it was ruled to have hit the ground after the buzzer sounded. And Duke was forced to watch its opponents turn Koskinen Field into their own personal V-Day parade for the third home game in a row. This dme, however, the confetti of airborne lacrosse equipment was colored Hopkins Blue instead the steelgray of Georgetown or the powder blue ofNorth Carolina as in previous weeks. The final result was a 6-5 Johns Hopkins victory over the Blue Devils (4-5) in front of the biggest crowd of the year in Koskinen Stadium (1,631) Saturday afternoon. After weeks of wanting to see his team play an entire game
WEIYITAN/THE CHRONICLE
Freshman Nick O'Hara and the men's lacrosse team were unable to stop No. 2 Johns Hopkins Saturday. the way he knew they could, Duke head coach Mike Pressler could only watch that full-game effort end up a bounce and a second too short. “Abb, I’m so pleased with our guys,” Pressler said. “We had our chances in the end; it just didn’t happen. But we finally played 60 minutes of Duke lacrosse, and I’m very happy and very pleased with our guys. We got to build on this. TThere are no moral victories here.”

BASEBALL I SWEEPING THE DEACONS
WOMEN’S TENNIS I VS. CLEMSON
Baseball sweeps Wake Forest by
Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE
Just call them the Cardiac Kids.
Days after a tough loss against top-20 East Carolina, the Duke baseball team (18-18, 6-6 in the ACC) rebounded with three consecutive come-from-behind victories, giving the Blue Devils a threegame sweep of Wake Forest (11-21, 1-11 ACC), their first three-game ACC sweep since 1998 and first of the Demon Deacons since 1994. “I’m very pleased with the way my guys have competed,” head coach Bill Hillier said. ‘They have not quit the whole season, and it’s starting to show... I tell them that in baseball, things will even out, and things are beginning to even out for us.” Things began to even out for the Blue Devils in the first game of the series. Duke scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth to erase a 6-0 deficit and force extra innings. In the 11th frame, JESSICA SCHREIBER/THE CHRONICLE catcher Brian Hernandez plated Sophomore Mike Miello slides home in Saturday's game against Wake outfielder Corey Whiting to comForest, helping theBlue Devils toward their first ACC sweep since 1998. plete the comeback. “I just happened to see the ball really well on Friday,” said Hernandez, smiling. “I found some holes, and I got four hits.” Outfielder Javier Socorro said Friday’s comeback set the tone for the entire weekend. “That first game against Wake, [Bryan Smith] pretty much summed it up when he said, ‘This is the turning point of our season right here,’” Socorro explained. “Ever since that first game we’ve been playing well and competing until the last inning. Being able to come back and win these games in the last innings is huge.” The comeback trend continued into Saturday, when outfielder
Mike Miello scored Socorro on a sacrifice fly to snap a 7-7 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning. Socorro went 3-for-5 for the game with two doubles and two runs. For the series, the sophomore outfielder batted a blistering .571 (8-for-14) and perpetuated a career-long 12game hitting streak. “I feel like I’m as comfortable as I’ve been all year,” Socorro said. “I’ve just kept seeing the ball well, and sometimes you get into a groove.” The comeback win affirmed a strong outing from starting pitcher Zach Schreiber. The crafty senior befuddled Wake Forest batters all evening long, allowing only two runs on seven hits in six innings. The Blue Devils, however, may have saved their best comeback for Sunday. The Blue Devils took an early lead after a Bryan Smith groundout scored third baseman Adam Murray. In the third inning, Duke extended its lead to 2-0 after junior Tim Layden launched a Danny Mackey pitch into right center for his team-leading fourth home run of the season. Wake Forest, however, responded quickly when Brad Scioletti hit a two-run jack into left field in the top of the fourth. Duke would take a brief 4-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning, but the Demon Deacons responded again, shelling Blue Devil freshman relief pitcher Tony Bajoczky for two hits, a walk and an error without retiring a batter. When the smoke cleared, Duke found itself in a 5-4 hole, setting up another batch of ninth-inning heroics. With one out in the bottom of the ninth, Murray and Layden began the comeback with a walk SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 7

Duke fails to claim ACC title by

THE CHRONICLE
For Duke and All-American Amanda was not supposed to happen this way. With a 35-match ACC regular season winning streak and the chance to clinch their 16th ACC regular season championship on the line, the fourth-ranked Blue Devils were stunned by No. 16 Clemson Sunday. The Tigers (19-3, 8-0 in the ACC) defeated Duke (17-3, 7-1) by a score of 5-2 to win their first ACC regular season title since 1986. The loss also snapped Clemson’s 21game losing streak to the Blue Devils. “I’m pretty disappointed with our team as a whole,” Johnson said. “I think everybody could have played better.” In doubles, however, Duke performed exactly how its coach hoped for by sweep-

defeats Richmond
by Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE
The No. 4 women’s lacrosse team (84) returned from its road trip Sunday with mixed results—after losing to No. 5 Loyola 10-8 in Baltimore, Md. Friday, the Blue Devils assuaged the sting of their loss by defeating Richmond 12-7 Sunday. Friday, Duke and Loyola played in a contest that remained close until the thirteenth minute-of the second half, when the Greyhounds started a 4-0 run that would eventually put Loyola up 10-7, a deficit from which the Blue Devils would
The women's lacrosse team downed RichmondSunday.
Track has Fast Times at Carolina Both the men’s and women’s track teams traveled to rival North Carolina’s
Fetzer Field for one last tune up before the ACC Championships. While the meet was dubbed the Carolina Fast Times, Duke excelled primarily in the field events, while the majority of their runners trained through the weekend. Senior Brent Warner built his confidece this weekend, earning another first place in the pole vault. He reached a season-best height in the pole vault at 16-4.75, while qualifying for the NCAA Regionals, only the second athlete on the men’s team to do so this year. Warner smoothed out new techniques he has been working on. “Brent’s trying to change his run up [approach],” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “He’s been consistent at 17 [feet], now we’re trying to get him to to go 17 and a half.” After a tough last weekend at the

Julia Smith and Tory Zawacki were able to overcome a 74 deficit against Daniela Alvarez and Maria Brito to win the top slot 9-7. With the doubles point already decided, Katie Blaszak, who this weekend returned from shoulder surgery for her first action of the season, and freshman Jennifer Zika fought their way to a 9-8 decision over the Tigers’ Richele Lesaldo and Karen Rombouts. “We came out and played really good doubles,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “Those are our best doubles wins we’ve had all year.” To Ashworth’s surprise, the momentum they gained with their doubles win did not translate to their singles play as it had in
Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE
“I though Loyola played really well,” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “It was a neck-and-neck game. I felt like whenever we came up with a big defensive stop, we would go down on offense and either turn the ball over or not take a great shot. They played one of their best games against us.” A quick review of the box score reveals just how close this game really was. Although Duke held slim advantages in draw controls, (12-to-8) saves (11-to-7) and fouls (9-to-14), Loyola bested the Blue Devils in shots

Freshman Brett Taylor recorded a personal record with his 131-8 discus throw, earning a third-place finish.

jump portion of the Championships of America at the Penn Relays, recorded a jump of 5-8.5. Freshman women’s throwers, Kelly Reynolds and Beth Maher together claimed three second-place finishes over the weekend. Reynolds broke her school record by five feet in the hammer throw, marking a best of 171-9 on the weekend. Maher nabbed the other two second place finishes, with a 42-9.5 throw in the shot put and a 121-10 javelin throw. Rounding out the top women’s performaces was sophomore Allison Nesbitt, who also claimed a second place finish. Nesbitt, who has been consistently improving throughout the year, ran 14.44 in the 100 hurdles to qualify for the ECAC post-season meet. Duke as well as other competing ACC schools used the weekend to iron out the wrinkles in their athletes performances. The Blue Devils should have a great amount of confidence going into next weekend’s ACC Championship meet.
the 14 other matches this season, where winning the doubles point led to an eventual victory. Arasu was the only Blue Devil to win her singles match as she improved to 16-2 in individual action on the season. The HOth-ranked player dispatched loana Paun 6-1, 6-2 to give Duke a 2-0 lead. Then the exhaustion of having to play four opponents, all ranked in the top 40, over the course of just five days became apparent. Making just her second start at the No. 2 position in singles, Zawacki was beaten by 84th-ranked Alvarez in straight sets 64, 6-2. Smith was unable to capitalize after she won the first set 64, and went on to fall to Brito 6-3, 6-0. Her teammate had similar troubles. Trailing 5-2 in the first set, Blaszak fought back to take a 6-5 lead, only to lose the set and eventually the match 7-6, 6-1. Down 3-2 with just two matches remaining, Duke needed wins from both Zika and Johnson to pull out the victory.
After splitting the first two sets and trailing 4-0 in the third, Zika looked prepared to make a run. Just as her play began to pick up, her comeback effort was thwarted when Lacelarie broke the Austrian native to take a 5-1 edge. Lacelarie would later claim the set and secure Clemson’s title. Ashworth could only speculate that conditioning and the difficult competition over the past week was the reason his team struggled so much to close out matches, especially those that were lost either 6-0 or 61 in their final sets. “That’s the only reason I can think of to lose those matches,” Ashworth said. “Especially to go three sets, I mean they are close matches. To lose sets zero and one after being out here for three hours, conditioning may have played a factor.” Although her team had already been defeated, ninth-ranked Johnson was still engaged in a battle with No. 8 Coin. After winning a close first set in a tiebreaker, Johnson dropped the second 6-0.

The weekend brought some good and some bad for Duke’s fifth-ranked men’s tennis team. After slamming Maryland (8-9, 0-8 in the ACC) 7-0 Saturday in College Park, the Blue Devils (18-6,5-2 ACC) closed their regular season by falling 4-3 to Virginia (19-3, 7-1 ACC) in Charlottesville. Duke’s road trip began auspiciously enough as they overpowered an outmatched Terrapins team. Despite not playing second-seeded singles player Ludovic Walter or their top-ranked doubles team of Walter and junior Jason Zimmerman, the Blue Devils obliterated Maryland for the doubles point, winning all three doubles matches. The singles matches proved to be no different; Duke dominated the Maryland players, winning each match in straight sets. A particularly bright spot for the Blue Devils was the presence of junior Peter Shults, who made his second appearance for the Blue Devils this season. The Little Rock, Ark. native has been rehabilitating after coming off major shoulder surgery. “I think we all played very well,” said Shults, a 6-2, 6-2 winner over Maryland’s David Reichsfield. “It felt very good personally for me to get back to doing my thing.” Unfortunately for Shults and the Blue Devils, Sunday was an endrely different story. Duke found itself in an early hole against the fifteenth-ranked Cavaliers after losing the doubles point. Virginia’s 31stranked duo of Rylan Rizza and Nick Meythaler handled Duke’s fifth-ranked tandem ofZimmerman and Walter, 8-3. Marko Miklo and Stephen Rozek’s 8-5 victory over the Blue Devils’ Stephen Amritraj and Peter Rodrigues helped claim the doubles point for Virginia. Subsequendy, Miklo and Cavaliers’ 21stranked singles player Doug Stewart claimed straight-set victories over Rodrigues and fifth-ranked Duke captain Phillip King, respectively, to take a 3-0 lead. The Blue Devils would make it interesting, knotting the score at three apiece after wins from Zimmerman, Jonathan Stokke, and Christopher Brown. In the match’s last game, however, Duke’s Walter fell to Rizza 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 SEE M. TENNIS ON THE CHRONICLE PAGE 9
In front of a boisterous crowd that remained in their seats even after Clemson had secured the win just to see Johnson finish her final regular season home contest, the two players traded breaks, forcing yet another tiebreaker. Unfortunately for Johnson, her final serve found the net as she double-faulted to lose the match. “It just came down to the last couple points,” Johnson said. “I missed my serve and I fought as hard as I could. She played a good match.” Although they lost Sunday, the Blue Devils defeated No. 39 Georgia Tech (11-8, 4-4) Saturday 6-1. Coming off Thursday’s loss to Florida, the team was satisfied to have that convincing win. “We hadn’t lost in three months, but we needed a good match,” Ashworth said Saturday. “We needed to be able to get back and win some close matches.” Duke now has some time to recover from its difficult schedule before returning to action later this week in the ACC tournament.

GOLF from page 1 Coming off last weekend’s first-place finish at Augusta, Nathan Smith hit the ball well again. His 211 earned him a sixth-place finish and his first-round 65 was just one stroke off the course record set by Haas that same round. Seniors Mike Castleforte and Rob Beasley also shot well and placed 12th and 55th, respectively. Entering the last 18 holes three strokes behind Kansas, Duke put together an incredible final round, receiving strong contributions from each of its golfers en route to a 280. “In the first round when we shot 280, which was the best score in the morning, we had to count a 78. We shot 280 the final round, but with a lot more consistency. We had everybody at even par or better.” While the tournament was the first time the Blue Devils had won this spring, their play has shown steady signs of improvement. Heading into the ACC championships next weekend, their confidence is as high as it has been all year. “We really went into the tournament feeling really good about all of our games, and we expected to win and it turned out that way for us,” Blaum said. ‘We’re just getting ready for next week’s ACC Championships and our games are priming at the correct dme right now.” Duke has not been beaten by any team in its region in the last three weeks, including third-ranked Clemson or No. 14 Wake Forest. “If we were to play golf like we played this weekend, we’re going to give anyone a run for their money,” Myers said. ‘We’re just excited to be on a roll and are anxious to tee it up again.”
BASEBALL from page 3 and a single. Miello was then hit by a pitch to load the bases with just one out. Smith tied the game with his second RBI, plating pinch-runner Senterrio Landrum on a fielder’s choice. Right afterwards, Hernandez came through with his second game-winning hit of the series, a single to shortstop that scored pinch-runner Michael Golom. After the game, Hernandez was ecstatic about his team’s sweep. “Because of the fact that earlier in the year we were losing some one-run games, it feels really good to put everything together and be able to win some of those games,” Hernandez said, grinning. “Coming from behind makes it feel even better.”

“Despite all the bumps we’ve had, in the grand scheme of things, I know that I’m leaving Duke with a lot more than I had when I came here. There are too many little things that I love about this school and giving my $20.04 was the least I could do to show my appreciation.” Scott Reid “I gave to the Annual Fund because I owe so much to my Duke experience. As a future Duke alum, I feel it’s my responsibility to ensure that other students have the same opportunities I did.” Sarah Hawkins “I’ve loved my time here at Duke, and I was worried that once I graduated, Duke wouldn’t be an integral part of my life anymore. I figured if I gave my senior gift I could ensure that I would always at least hear from the Duke Annual Fund” Jenny Woodson “I love Duke and giving to the Senior gift is just a little way ofshowing that Senior nostalgia and sentimentality we are all feeling about now” Cliff Davison ~

victory over the Blue Devils in 26 tries. The Virginia loss drops the Blue
Devils behind North Carolina and Virginia for the regular season ACC championship. In the upcoming ACC tournament, the Blue Devils will be seeded third, an unfamiliarposition for a team that at one point in the season had a 58-match ACC winning streak. According to Shults, however, the team is ready for the task at hand—another ACC tournament title. “I actually think [the loss] gives us more motivation,” Shults said. “We have a really big motivation to win the ACC tournament and show everyone that we’re still the dominant team.”
(27-to-18), turnovers (7-to-10) and ground balls (lfi-to-9). In the end, the game was decided by a few unfortunate bounces. “We had some unlucky breaks. With five minutes left to play we were down by two and Meg Walters took a great shot that hit a pipe, and a Loyola kid beat one of players to chase it out of bounds,” Kimel said. “This was a good preparation forACC’s. What we learned was that every possession matters in a tight game like that. We didn’t convert when we needed to.” Duke had no problem converting against Richmond, however. The Blue Devils posted five unanswered goals to end the first half and never looked back. The Spiders never recovered from a 7-3 halftime hole. Duke’s offensive explosion was propelled by the outstanding play of Meghan Walters. The senior rippled the mesh six times against Richmond, much to the delight of her coach. “We’ve been waiting for Meghan to come on like that,” Kimel said. “Granted, we set up a lot of plays for her, but she still shot 6-for-7 and played a great defensive game, too. I felt that she really had a solid game; we needed her.” Despite Walters’ strong individual effort, and despite the fact that her squad came away with the victory, Kimel was still unsatisfied with her team’s performance. The Blue Devils could only boast marginal victories in the turnover and ground ball departments—Duke posted 15-to-17 and 19-to-16 in the two categories, respectively. “Even though we won today, we didn’t take good care of the ball. We had 15 turnovers,” Kimel said. “We were impatient on offense and made a lot ofunforced errors in the midfield. Those are problems we thought would pass, and I guess they haven’t, so it’s something we’ll have to revisit this week. Mentally we’re not as consistent or as Duke, the ACC Champions, is gearing up for a run at the NCAA title. tough as we need to be.”

“Delta [Airlines] is suing him and the Hyatt is suing him,” Strasser alleged. He added that Broderick claimed Duke had sent him a cease and desist letter to stop using the Duke name shortly before he announced that the trips had fallen through. “He showed us-his bank account when we met with him and he hasn’t paid his rent in six months.” Officials from Duke, Delta and Hyatt could not be reached for comment over the holiday weekend. Other students formerly affiliated with the DukeTravels company declined to comment on the situation or claimed they had severed ties with the organization. Duke sophomore Olivia Fu is listed on a Fall 2003 flyer as a contact for students who want to make cash deposits for DukeTravels trips. But when contacted Sunday night about the company, she said she had no current affiliation to the group. “Honestly, I don’t know what happened,” Fu said. “I was initially in it in the fall but I never really understood that much about it. I really broke off relations with it because I wasn’t interested in it or had the time.” Similarly, sophomore Brandon Hudson said he had no current relationship with any of the companies, although his biography on a Duke-affiliated website currently states he is “vice president for IntelliTravels, which is a student operated travel company.” When contacted Friday, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said he had “no comment” about DukeTravels. Some of the students who purchased Cancun trips, however, said they feel the administration

company’s fliers blanketed the Pratt School of Engineering. But there were problems from the start for Miller and her friends. Broderick was supposed to drive the group to the mountain, but failed to show and instead asked them to drive themselves, Miller said. “We drove all the way out to this place, Sugar Mountain, and there was no reservation,” Miller said. “We couldn’t get a place and we had to drive all the way back that night.” After threatening legal action, Miller and her friends received refunds, but the checks were post-dated two months later. The company also reportedly cheated some 40 Duke undergraduates out of an estimated $16,000 by failing to produce their spring break trips to Miami, Fla. The company sold all-expenses paid spring break trips to the South Florida city for $4OO per person, but the bus scheduled to drive the students never came. After the students drove themselves, they found they had no hotel reservations. DukeTravels is affiliated with Travel and Tourism Club, a student organization that was chartered by Duke Student Government earlier this year. Kristin Jackson, chair of the Student Organization Finance Committee, said the Office of Student Activities and Facilities notified her over spring break that “the student group no longer exists.” Broderick is affiliated with two other local companies—lntellitravels and Cyßroducts. After the DukeTravels website was removed from the Internet, the address redirected users to the Intellitravels website, which is also now defunct. Cyßroducts, a local website company that produced Duke’s Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council websites, lists Broderick as its principal contact. Broderick, a member of the Duke Class of 2003, was president of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity last year. He could not be reached for comment. Freshman Ryan Strasser, one of the students who filed a crime report after his refund check bounced, said Broderick claimed the trip had fallen through because he had overbooked hotel rooms and transportation.

should bear some responsibility for what became of their spring break dreams. “When you see something like [the Duke Travels flyer], your suspicions are lessened because you see Duke University and that's a name with a lot of credibility,” said Matthew Hoekstra, a freshman who also paid for a Cancun trip. “You don’t expect to get gypped like that.” Similarly, Miller questioned how DukeTravels was able to use the Duke name without a response from the administration. “To be honest, I am kind of surprised that Duke isn’t cracking down on them to be using their name in their business,” she said. “At first I thought they were somewhat legitimate because they were using the school’s name.” Some of that legitimacy may have also stemmed from Broderick’s claims, victims claim. Sophomore Liza McClellan, who purchased a Myrtle Beach 2003 trip through Duke Travels, reported that Broderick said he originally had the University’s permission to operate. “He said DukeTravels was in conjunction with Duke,” she said. “He told us he had the approval of Duke.” For Cardenas and Strasser, who each paid over $6OO to make alternate spring break plans at the last minute, reimbursement by DukeTravels seems unlikely at this point. Instead, they hope to get answers about where their money went and help prevent other students from facing a similar predicament. “I have learned my lesson,” Cardenas said. “In fact next year I am going to make my own reservations.”

or a friend, which doesn’t work when everybody who isn’t home for Easter is at Parizade drinking. Does it really make sense to even have Safeßides when it doesn’t pick up from off-campus, which is what students need the most in terms of safety? Two years ago my roommate got mugged, and Student Affairs didn’t do anything about it because he’d been drinking and therefore he must have imagined the whole thing. Rather than alert the student body, they busted him for underage drinking. It wasn’t until days later when the same criminal mugged more people (sober, this time) that they publicly announced the mugging. It’s two years later, and Student Affairs is still setting students up for disaster.
It seems to me that if Larry Moneta and Student Affairs really cared about student safety, they wouldn’t wait until after yet another student was robbed at knifepoint to do something about it. All semester we’ve been promised a greater police presence on campus where is it? Why is it that five DUPD Vehicles were needed to respond to twenty fraternity pledges in their skivvies running around West campus at 2 a.m. when one or two could have done the job? Where were their security patrols on Central Campus? Now that yet another student has been mugged, what is the response? An e-mail saying that it is students’ fault because we don’t use; Safeßides, which strangely enough will not pick up students when they are off-campus, so no help there; a cab, not an option if you’re short on cash; —

Find happiness through religion I appreciate Matt Gillum’s thoughtful and respectful column “Happiness in your jeans.” However, I would like to point out one possibility that shows that a naturalistic perspective on happiness as described by Gillum is lacking. I believe it is within human nature, and thus as Gillum would put it, essential to human happiness, to long for, search for and in the end find overarching purpose —something greater than ourselves. This is reflected across cultures over human history. Granted, avowed atheists and
ator of it. He
nonreligious people can experience happiness, but I would argue that this type of happiness is ultimately unfulfilling and shallow in comparison to happiness derived from finding purpose in a relationship with God. What joy we derive from playing, until in old age or because of injury we haven’t the strength to play any more. What pleasure from daydreaming, until circumstances in this life may render them impossible, and they become unrelenting taunts that echo in our tortured minds. And what joy from sex, until we discover that the act done casually and without boundaries has left our bodies wracked with diseas and our hearts broken as the person we loved and thought loved us moves on casually to the next person. As a theological issue, sex drive is not condemned by God —in fact, He’s the ere-
merely sets boundaries for our own g00d... some of my friends have experienced firsthand the physical, mental and emotional tragedy that occurs when pursuing that natural desire with no regard for limits. Naturalistic pursuit of happiness provides pleasure for a moment, but how sadly temporary those moments are. In the final analysis, what if we, in accordance with our nature, need a relationship with God to experience true, lasting happiness? What if we cannot fully enjoy the activities Gillum talked about until our overarching desire for God is met? I agree with Gillum that everyone, including Christians, should question why they believe what they believe. I have, and I have found that a personal relationship with God brings me a lasting happiness that dwarfs any I could try to attain on my own through naturalistic pursuits, I would like to add a challenge of my own; After you have become dissatisfied with flitting from temporary pleasure to temporary pleasure and long for something permanent (a happiness you can hang your hat on), consider the possibility that your naturalistic desire for happiness includes a need for a relationship with God.
