THE CHRONICLE

Diversity. Duke University is quick to tout this particular aspect of its ever-growing community of students, faculty and staff. But only in the last half-century has the University been able to claim the word as one of its defining features.

In honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, The Chronicle is highlighting the history of race relations at the University over the past several decades, revealing how the actions of our academic forefathers and more recent leaders have helped shape Duke into the diverse institution that it is today.

Duke Integrates With the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v.

Board of Education, the tide began to turn against widespread racism in American institutions—and Duke would not be exempt from this change.

A motion was passed by the University Council in January 1956 to consider admitting students without discriminating on the basis of race.

Before then, like many other colleges at that time, Duke did not grant black students admission to the University.

Insurgents seize Turkish businessman

by Jayson Keyser THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Ten assailants sprayed gunfire at a minibus picking up a Turkish businessman from a Baghdad hotel Thursday, killing six Iraqis and kidnapping the Turk, who reportedly ran a constructon company working with Americans.

The gunmen swarmed the bus as it pulled up to the Bakhan Hotel at dawn to pick up the man, identified by police as Abdulkadir Tanrikulu. The gunmen opened fire, killing the bus driver and five of Tanrikulu's employees, police said. The attackers then sped off with their captive.

It was the latest bloodshed in a surge of

violence about two weeks before Iraqis will choose a national legislature in the first election since the collapse ofSaddam Hussein’s tyrannical rule.

Gunmen killed a representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq’s most senior Shiite Muslim cleric, alotig with the aide’s son and four bodyguards in a town south of Baghdad Wednesday, an official in the cleric’s office said Thursday.

WASHINGTON A $l7O million computer overhaul intended to give FBI agents and analysts an instantaneous and'paperless way to manage criminal and terrorism cases is headed back to the drawing board, probably at a much steeper cost to taxpayers.

The FBI is hoping to salvage some parts of the project, known as Virtual Case File.

But officials acknowledged Thursday that it is possible the entire system, designed by Science Applications International Corp. of San Diego, is so inadequate and outdated that one will have to be built from scratch.

After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, FBI Director Robert Mueller made improvement of the agency's computer systems a priority. Members of Congress and the independent Sept. 11 commission said the overhaul is critical to enabling the FBI and intelligence agencies such as the CIA to “connect the dots” in preventing attacks.

“I am frustrated by the delays,” Mueller said Thursday in Birmingham, Ala. “I am frustrated that we do not have on every agent’s desk the capability of a modem case-management system.”

City manager search ends today 2nd case of by

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

After almost seven months without a city manager, the Durham City Council is slated to pick a permanent one today.

The finalists for the position are Patrick Baker, Charles Penny and David Thompson. Many Durham residents came to listen to. the three candidates answer questions posed by Mayor Bill Bell at a public meet-and-greet last night.

The search for a new manager began when Durham’s previous city manager, Marcia Conner, came under attack from City Council members and citizens; the criticism forced her to resign in July.

The city manager—the highest ranking appointed official in the city government—oversees the day-to-day operations of Durham, including the City Council’s agenda and the implementation of its policies and ordinances. Other responsibilities include managing city department directors and creating the annual budget.

‘The city manager is kind of like the president and CEO of a corporation,” Bell said. “The city manager reports to the City Council. The City Council sets policy; the city manager carries out those policies.”

Baker, the current interim city manager, worked as an assistant city attorney before replacing Conner. After taking over as city manager, one of his first projects was the Code Enforcement Nuisance Abatement Team, which minimized city code violations in neighborhoods. Baker said that serving as the interim city manager has “truly been an honor and a privilege.”

Penny is the assistant manager of Rocky Mount, N.C. and a former assistant city manager of Asheville, N.C. He was a finalist for the position in March 2001, when the council appointed Conner. Penny calls Durham his “second home” and urged the media—which has recently exposed several scandals in Durham politics—to print more stories about positive happenings in the Durham community.

Thompson served as Durham county manager from 1996 until March 2000. He

A student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was admitted to UNC Hospitals Tuesday morning with a presumptive case of meningococcal meningitis, a bacterial form of meningitis.

It is the second case of the disease reported on campus this academic year.

The student—whose name has not been released—began to feel ill Monday evening after returning to Morrison Residence Hall from the holiday break, saidLisa Katz, director of news services at UNC. After reporting to Student Health Service Tuesday morning, the student was taken to the hospital.

Initial tests indicated that the disease was the “probable” cause of the student’s ailments, Katz said. Final test results will be available in the next day or so.

Candidates for Durham city manager field questions at an open meeting Thursday night.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Durham County administrators and DUMC’s Internal Review Board had already approved the trial, and officials were beginning to train Durham County Emergency Medical Services to handle patients when the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services notified Duke about the problem.

According to the North Carolina Patients’ Bill of Rights, approved in January 1996, “informed consent must be obtained prior to actual participation in such program”—a stipulation that cannot be guaranteed under Duke’s current plan. Federal research rules, which were approved only months later by the FDA, require that informed consent is not necessary for trials in emergency medicine.

cluding those unable

The N.C. Medical Care Commission, the group in charge of hospital rules, will meet mid-February—the first time a change to conform with federal laws could be discussed. Jeff Horton, chief of licensure certification section under the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, said the earliest the laws could be changed would be March, but Horton would not speculate on the likelihood of a rule change.

PolyHeme, created by Northfield Laboratories, is the first oxygen-carrying blood-substitute to make it to clinical trials. Current medical guidelines require emergency officials to use a saline solution, which cannot carry the oxygen that organs need in order to continue functioning. Ambulances do not transport blood due to the variety of blood types and its short shelf-life. PolyHeme is compatible with all blood types and is usable for 12 months.

Officials at Northfield Laboratories could not be reached for comment.

Dr. Ross McKinney, vice dean of research at DUMC, however, was unconcerned about the delay.

“We are going to talk with the state folks about what the regulations mean and con-

A clinical trial of PolyHeme, a blood substitute, has been delayed because of patient consent requirements. sider whether the only option for the study is the way it was initially planned,” he said.

“It is not a big issue.”

If Duke continued the trials with the current laws in place and without obtaining consent from the participants, DUMC could be cited with a deficiency and Duke administrators would have to provide a “plan of correction,” but, Horton said, there would “probably be no

consequences.”

This was the second setback for the PolyHeme study since its inception. Initially announced last summer, the study was delayed to Jan. 1 to let officials hold public meetings for concerned Durham residents.

All meetings were poorly attended.

Duke Hospital is one of 16 trauma centers across the United States planned to participate in the trial. Officials were “unaware” if other centers were having similar problems.

University receives SISM from Duke Endowment by

Lauren

Kobylarz THE CHRONICLE

President Richard announced Wednesday that The Duke Endowment has granted nearly $l5 million to support University initiatives for the new year. This contribution makes the organization the largest single donor in Duke’s most recent capital campaign.

Funds from The Duke Endowment, a non-profit charitable trust based in Charlotte, N.C., will be used to further develop the undergraduate experience at Duke as well as bolster several other University programs and facilities.

“The Duke Endowment has probably been the single most important strategic partner and has been over the years,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “They have been

extraordinarily generous to Duke this year and are responding to priorities identified by the president and the provost.”

Of the contribution, the organization awarded $4.25 million to enhance current undergraduate programs, with a focus on opportunities for undergraduates to conduct research with faculty members.

“In this phase of enhancement we have specifically focused on research,” said Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College. “We want to double the number of students graduating with theses to 25 percent. We have to change the culture to enable more of these experiences and use research as away of teaching.”

As the administration works toward that goal, Thompson said the University would be working closely with the faculty. “We need to recognize that one size doesn’t fit

all,” he added. “We’re looking at faculty members to tell us how to improve their departments and accomplish their objectives.”

The Duke Endowment also awarded Perkins Library $4 million to construct an Information Commons, a public service area that will provide students with access to both sophisticated technology and library specialists in the same space. The contribution is the Endowment’s second towards Perkins renovations, together totalling $lO million.

“Students will be pleased with the technology capacity that they will have,” said University Librarian Deborah Jakubs. “It will be easier to discover, access and convert information —sort of one-stop shopping for the library services they’ll need.”

Malaria threatens tsunami zone by

Emma Ross

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

issues

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia Health officials plan to go door to door and tent to lent with mosquito-killing spray guns beginning Friday to head off a looming threat that one expert says could kill 100,000 more people around the tsunami disaster zone: malaria.

The devastation and heavy rains are creating conditions for the largest area of mosquito breeding sites Indonesia has ever seen, said the head of the aid group anchoring the anti-malaria campaign on Sumatra island. The pools of salt water created by the Dec. 26 tsunami have been diluted by seasonal rains into a brackish water that mosquitoes love.

While the threat of cholera and dysentery outbreaks is diminishing by the day because clean water is increasingly getting to tsunami survivors, the danger of malaria and dengue fever epidemics is increasing, said Richard Allan, director of the Mentor Initiative, a public health group that fights malaria epidemics.

The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami has topped 157,000 across 11 countries after Indonesia added nearly 4,000 more to its tally. Allan warned that an outbreak of malaria could take an additional 100,000 lives around the Indian Ocean if authorities don’t” act quickly.

“The combination of the tsunami and the rains are creating the largest single set of [mosquito] breeding sites that Indonesia has ever seen in its history,” he said Thursday in an interview.

General agreement characterized the brief Jan. 13 meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council. Members unanimously adopted the recommendations of an ad hoc committee on space, which suggested greater faculty input in and awareness of decisions about space allocation.

‘The way the provost has things set up now, every time they do a strategic plan, they have a complete reassessment of space,” said George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences. “Right now, I think it’s taken care of.”

Chair Katherine Ewing said that she was pleased to formalize the consideration of faculty wishes, since many of the professors at the December meeting had seemed unaware of the space allocation process.

In light of discontent with the recent ending of travel advances, McLendon asked the faculty to provide him with examples of the ill effects of the new policy. Members suggested that those most severely affected would include students and those conducting research in developing countries.

Council members also unanimously approved several minor amendments to the council’s bylaws.

Asked about World Health Organization warnings that disease could double the tsunami death toll across affected areas, Allan said: “If anything, I think they are being conservative. Three-quarters of those deaths could be from malaria.”

The World Health Organization said Thursday that seven cases of malaria have been confirmed in Aceh province. They are popping up now both because malaria season is just beginning and because a reporting system has been put in place over the last few days.

Relief workers in Aceh province on Sumatra island, meanwhile, warned that new rules requiring them to travel with armed escorts could cause bottlenecks in delivering aid and compromise their armslength status from Indonesia’s military.

‘We discourage such actions because it blurs the distinction between humanitarian and military efforts here,” said Eileen Burke of Save the Children.

Burke said her group has so far had no escorts—or problems —with their work in Sigli, about 60 miles from the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.

Rebels who have waged a low-level war for a separate homeland in northern Sumatra for 30 years reaffirmed their commitment to a cease-fire they declared hours after the tsunami.

Still, there have been unconfirmed reports of isolated skirmishes between Indonesian soldiers and rebels since the tsunami. Vice President Jusuf Kalla said the government welcomed the rebels’ declaration of a cease-fire. “Of course we wel-

come it. Indonesia will also make efforts toward it,” Kalla said in Jakarta, the capital.

Indonesia’s moves—which include an order that aid workers declare their travel plans or face expulsion—highlight its sensitivities over foreign involvement in the humanitarian effort, especially that of foreign troops.

Indonesia wants foreign troops out of the country by late March. The United States has the largest presence by far in south Asia with about 13,000 troops—almost all offshore. However, State Department spokesperson Richard Boucher said Indonesian authorities had informed the United States there is no departure deadline for U.S. troops.

“Nobody is asking us to go home,” Boucher said. “The Indonesian statement about three months, they tell us, was intended as an estimate about how long the military part of the operation might be

necessary.”

U.N. humanitarian chief Jan Egeland said the overall tsunami relief effort was progressing well except in Sumatra, where “huge problems” remain.

“It is still an uphill battle in the region,” Egeland said in New York.

Survivors among the tens of thousands living in refugee camps in Banda Aceh have welcomed the foreign troops, who have been flying helicopter aid missions to otherwise inaccessible areas and running field hospitals.

“If they leave, we will starve,” said SEE MALARIA ON PAGE 7

CULTURE CENTER for campus life, is in the process of organizing a nadonal search for a new director.

“Hopefully, we can have someone permanent in place by July 1,” said Airall, who noted that she would be discussing the process with stakeholders of the Mary Lou Williams Center.

In the next several weeks, Airall will also be organizing focus groups and inviting students, faculty and staff to these groups to hear what they would like to see in terms of new programs and initiatives at the center.

DURHAM from page 3 said he believes he will successfully piece together the city budget because ofhis experience working with budgets in his current job at an agriculture and engineering consulting firm. He relayed his message that public service is a “sacred trust” that he does not take lightly and that fiscal responsibility should be a priority for the city of Durham.

Sandra Battle, a former communications liaison at Duke, was one of the citizens who came Thursday night to hear what the candidates had to say.

Batde said she wanted someone to assume the city manager position who would “come in and restructure” and be a motivating leader to other city employees.

Caldwell, who advises Duke's Black Student Alliance and the African-American Mentoring Program, has expressed her excitement about serving as interim director. She has not yet decided whether to make herself a candidate for the permanent position.

“We are working on increasing communications with the campus community with projects like the Jazz at the Mary Lou program and connecting with various other black cultural centers in the Triangle area,” Caldwell said. “We want to continue to improve student involvement and engagement.”

Charlotte Woods, the founder of Concerned Citizens for Accountable Government, a North Carolina-based advocacy group, echoed the feelings of many people involved in Durham politics.

“I just hope that whatever choice the council makes, that the result will be that we can turn a new page in Durham,” Wood said.

Woods also criticized Conner, who members of the City Council pressured to resign after reports of her awarding municipal contracts to friends, financial problems in the housing department and unsuccessful police chief searches.

“She treated many of the people that she worked with very disrespectfully,” Woods said. “The morale down at City Hall was very, very low. Now, with her gone... people are smiling.” taken in by other families.

In communities along the west coast of Sumatra where almost all buildings were wiped out, the main defense will be pesticide-impregnated plastic sheeting, which villagers use for shelter.

“This will be the first situation where there is an incredible threatening epidemic and where if we get everything in place without obstruction... we have a chance of stemming the starting point of an epidemic which otherwise will undoubtedly happen,” Allan said.

Although malaria is endemic in the area, meaning it is widespread under normal circumstances and the local population is used to getting repeatedly infected, that does not provide protection from any outbreak that might emerge.

ENDOWMENT forage, The Information Commons will be temporarily housed in the new Bostock Library opening in the fall. The center’s primary location will be permanently constructed on the first floor of Perkins during the next phase of its development.

“It will be essential to the successful project that we’re planning to carry out in the new building and to our focus to transform library services,” Jakubs said.

The Goodson Chapel at Duke Divinity School will be renovated partially due to the recent influx of funds and The Duke Law School Library received $2 million.

The Endowment also granted more than $1.3 million to support initiatives of the Duke University Health System. Smaller gifts were awarded to individual University

programs, including $515,000 for the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership, which ties the University to the Durham community through programs involving surrounding neighborhoods and schools.

‘This is an organization that’s looking to strengthen every aspect of Duke,” said Mimi O’Brien, Duke’s director of corporate and foundation relations. ‘That’s what makes it a unique partnership. It’s a very comprehensive way to support the University.”

The Duke Endowment has awarded more than $2 billion in gifts to North and South Carolina programs in higher education, health care, children’s welfare and spiritual life since it was founded in 1924

by James B. Duke.

“It’s a phenomenal resource for the University,” Thompson said. “It’s a tremendous gift, and we’re very thankful for it—this opens up all kinds of possibilities.”

Transmitted through the air or close contact with an infected person, the disease strikes college students at a particularly high rate, especially those living in the close quarters ofcampus dormitories.

“Eighty percent of cases are in kids, but there is a secondary blip in the college-age group,” said Dr. Mary Covington, medical director for SHS at UNC. “Sometimes

Shiites make up 60 percent of Iraq’s 26 million people and are expected to dominate the 275-member National Assembly.

Many Sunnis, who make up 20 percent of the population, fear a loss of the influence and privilege they enjoyed for decades. And Sunni clerics have called for a boycott to protest the November assault on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah.

U.S. and Iraqi officials fear that a low Sunni turnout will cast doubts on the new

government’s legitimacy.

when people come together from different places, this bacteria gets spread from person to person to person.”

Symptoms of the disease include nausea, vomiting, headache, fever and exhaustion. A meningitis vaccine, which is 85 to 100 percent effective, is available, but it targets only two of the disease’s main strains in young adults. Its effectiveness is also limited to a three- to five-year span.

Covington suggested that college students on all campuses avoid sharing drinks or cigarettes to prevent potential transmission of meningitis and report immediately to health care personnel if they experience any symptoms indicative of the disease.

Because meningitis is highly contagious, teams of nurses went to the patient’s dorm Al-Sistani has urged Iraqis to vote, calling it a religious duty for every man and woman. The Iranian-bom cleric is not running himself but is backing the 228 candidates from the United Iraqi Alliance, a coalition of 16 groups that includes Iraq’s largest Shiite political party, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.

If many Sunnis do stay home on election day, the United Iraqi Alliance stands to dominate the assembly. Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said Thursday that Iraqis’ participation in the vote could help end the violence.

“One of the ways to end the insurgency is to continue going forward with the political process and that Iraqis participate in the political process, including elections,” Allawi told Al-Arabiya television.

and gave antibiotic pills to students who may have been in contact with the patient.

UNC freshman Jonathan Parker Davis was also diagnosed with bacterial meningitis Oct. 28. Katz explained that Davis’s name was released because his travels to North Carolina State University and other locations posed a potentially significant public health threat. The new case, she said, is different.

“The student was conscientious about feeling sick and seeking to get those symptoms treated,” Katz said. “Also, the fact that the student hadn’t been to class or been on campus very 10ng... helps.”

Katz and Covington said they are confident that SHS and the health department are handling the situation appropriately.

piece of the overhaul of antiquated FBI computers, called the Trilogy project.

The first two phases of the project—deployment of a high-speed, secure FBI computer network and 30,000 new desktop computers —have been completed.

SAIC spokesperson Jared Adams said the company “delivered the Virtual Case File system initial operation capability in December as agreed to” and would have no further comment until the Justice Department review is finished.

Sen. Charles Grassley, a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the possibility that the system may be scrapped is disappointing.

‘The measures that were put into place [were] what should have happened, even waiting for that diagnosis,” Covington said.

But she noted that another reported case of the disease would change the health department and SHS’s protocol^ The definition of an outbreak is when you have three cases within a defined area within a three month period,” she said. “If we have another case, it could be considered an outbreak and would call for more public health measures.”

Katz, however, said the situation has been carefully monitored. “It appears that most everyone who had a need or felt any concern has taken advantage of the antibiotic,” she said, noting that SHS would continue offering the antibiotic pill to concerned persons.

“I hope we haven’t just been pouring money down a rat hole at taxpayers’ expense,” said Grassley, R-lowa.

The top Judiciary Committee Democrat,. Sen. Patrick Leahy ofVermont, called the FBI computer overhaul “a train wreck in slow motion” and said money alone won’t solve the problem.

“The FBI needs to stop hiding its problems and begin confronting them early on,” Leahy said.

Virtual Case File was supposed to provide away for FBI agents, analysts and other personnel around the world to share information about all types of investigations, including terrorism cases, without using paper or resorting to the time-consuming process of scanning documents.

To Members of the Duke Community

Although many of you returned to campus only recently following winter break, all of us have shared feelings of grief and loss since the December 26 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. We have struggled to make sense of a natural disaster that claimed so many lives and caused such immense destruction Many members of our community have responded by sending donations to relief agencies,

including those listed on the website that Duke posted shortly after the disaster. Similarly, Duke faculty members have been sharing their expertise about the tsunami with the news media, student groups have begun organizing fund-raisers, and others have been looking for their own ways to share their concern and prayers.

Several campus administrators and student leaders have organized a meeting to facilitate these and other efforts, which may include fund raising, volunteer service, research and educational

opportunities and faith activities. The meeting will be held from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 14, in Von Canon Hall of the Bryan Center. Those who plan to attend are asked to RSVP to pnobles @ duke.edu Duke Medical Center officials are exploring how medical personnel can assist in the region and will coordinate their efforts with those on the university side.

A new listserv focuses on Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the tsunami. You can subscribe to that list here [http:// mailman.studentaffairs.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/tsunami-aid].

In addition, Duke is establishing a website that will gather information about these various efforts The new site will be available off the main Duke home page.

Our community includes people from many countries, so we close by reaching out to any of you

whose lives were touched personally by this disaster. We want to ensure you are receiving appropriate support from Duke, and ask that you please send a message to tsunamiaid@duke.edu, telling us your name, location and situation. We also encourage anyone with suggestions about Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities to contact the same address We extend our deepest thanks to all of you who have responded so compassionately to this disaster, and we look forward to joining across our community to address this historic challenge in the days ahead Sincerely,

HISTORY

from page 1

Board of Trustees allowed students to be admitted to Duke's graduate and professional schools without regard to “race, creed, or national origin.” This development spread to the rest of the University when the Board announced in June of the following year that undergraduates would also be admitted under the same conditions.

Duke alumni are quick to explain, however, that the integration of campus was a slow, grueling process.

“I had no black professors whatsoever,” said Ed Rickards, Trinity ‘63 and Duke Law ‘66. “During that entire time, I had only one male, black classmate in law 5ch001....

It was amazing how segregation cut through every aspect of life there.”

Civil Rights Come to Duke The decade that followed was a tumultuous one in the context of the civil rights movement—a time of turbulent change that echoed from a national scope to a more local one on campus. In 1968, several students formed what is now Duke's Black Student Alliance under the title “Afro-American Society.” As one of the first such organizations at Duke, the association worked to provide black students with a

more powerful voice in discussions with the administration and the rest of the student body.

Later that year, when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, Duke, like many other universities across the country, erupted into turmoil. When students met on the quad for a vigil April s—the day after King was assassinated—there were many that remembered the activist’s visit to the campus only four years before, when he spoke to students and faculty in Page Auditorium.

Students used the vigil not only as a means of mourning the great visionary, but also as a method of introducing the type of change that King would have supported.

Students of all races gathered to protest Duke's discriminatory policies, particularly those that affected Duke's minority workers.

By the time the vigil ended, at least 1,500 students had gathered on the quad, and campus officials eventually agreed to increase workers' salaries.

Students Take the Allen Building One week after the King vigil, about 50 to 75 black students took control of the Allen building Feb. 13. They issued a number of demands to the administration, dealing with issues that ranged from the particular needs of African-American students to other, more general race-re-

lated problems at Duke.

Although the occupation ended with the students’ peaceful exit, Durham police began to quarrel with the crowds forming outside the building and eventually fired tear gas on the student protesters.

In the subsequent weeks, an emotional fissure developed on campus between students who felt the takeover of the building was just and those who did not. It would be weeks before the unrest died down. Eventually, the students who occupied the building were sentenced to one year of academic probation.

The crisis, however, had other repercussions. In March of that year, a black studies program was finally instituted after many delays and protests. The program would again become a central topic of discussion in September 1975, when one hundred students protested against the University administration with a list of grievances. As a part of these complaints, students called for the departmentalization of the black studies program and an increase in the number of African-American faculty members who were teaching black studies courses.

Recognizing Achievements In 1976, Reginaldo Howard became the first black student to be elected president of the Associated Students ofDuke Univer-

sity. Howard died tragically in an automobile accident before he could officially begin his term, but his legacy became inspiration for the recognition ofother black students’ achievements. To honor Howard, the Reginald© Howard Scholarship, one of Duke's most prestigious merit scholarships, was established to benefit highachieving African-American students.

One of the most influential organizations on campus, the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, was established in 1983. Named for the popular jazz musician who had been an artist in residence on campus for several years, the center provided students with a venue “to celebrate this particular cultural aspect of the university,” said Andrea Caldwell, the center’s interim director.

In 1991, President Keith Brodie designated Martin Luther King Jr. Day as an official holiday for the University and Medical Center. Also that year, the University took concrete steps to recognize one of the most influential African Americans in Duke's history, Julian Abele, by dedicating his portrait in the Allen Building.

As students stroll the West Campus Quadrangle and enjoy the beautiful Gothic architecture, they owe it all to Abele, the chief architect of the University. Despite SEE HISTORY ON PAGE 11

HISTORY from page 10 living in an age in which his race hindered his ability to display his talent, Abele designed one of the most recognizable college campuses in the country.

Though members of the administration were aware of Abele’s race, the truth of the architect's African-American identity was not made public until 1988.

In 1993, to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of black students at Duke, the University designed a series of commemorative events in honor of the achievements that have been made in civil rights since integration.

Controversy and Progress

In 2001, many students were outraged

by The Chronicle's publishing advertisement produced by conservative author David Horowitz. In the ad, Horowitz opposed giving reparations to African Americans for injustices suffered during the era of slavery.

“I think that it allowed opportunity for phenomenal dialogue, and through that dialogue there was some great action taken,” Caldwell said.

Students exercised their freedom of speech by decrying the article's publishing.

They protested by writing editorials and voicing their opposition on the quad.

More recently, progress in race rela-

dons has been made possible by leaders like former President Nan Keohane, who championed civil rights on campus, and Maya Angelou, who in recent years has ushered in freshmen students at convocation, encouraging them to keep open minds and hearts.

Another of the University’s most seminal figures whose name echoes from the plaques of buildings on campus to the covers of textbooks is acdvist and history professor John Hope Franklin. A respected African-American writer and speaker, Franklin became the namesake of the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies in 2001.

“He has captured the history and essence

ofAfrican-American people,” said Caldwell.

‘To be able to come [to Duke] and hear him talk—those are the times when you can see history in the here and now.”

In his book, The ColorLine: legacyfor the Twenty-First Century, Franklin remarked on the need to change the face of race relations worldwide—a change he and others over the years have pushed for in the Duke community.

“There is nothing more remarkable than the ingenuity that the various demarcations of the color line reflect,” Franklin said. “If only the same creative energy could be used to eradicate the color line; then its days would indeed be numbered.”

Schedules feature top mid-maj ors by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

When Coach K and his scheduling guru think about each season’s men’s basketball schedule, they have a lot to consider.

Mike Cragg, the associate athletic director for men’s basketball and chief schedule architect, takes into account everything from Duke’s recruiting to potential NCAA Tournament teams when he drafts the men’s basketball schedule each season. And with the power ofDuke basketball’s name, Cragg and Krzyzewski have some room to play.

“Every coach does what is great for his program,” Cragg said. “The top programs can do what is best for them.”

Before playing N.C. State Thursday night, No. 5 Duke had the 18th most difficult schedule to date in the nation—only two top-10 teams had lower strength of schedule ratings. This ranking, which is considered by the NCAA Tournament selection committee, will rise once the Blue Devils move deeper into their ACC schedule.

Playing almost every game on national television, Duke is not as thirsty as some teams for new exposure. So instead of playing college basketball’s heavyweights each game, the Blue Devils have focused on matching up with the top teams in midmajor conferences.

“We have made a strategic play into playing mid-majors who are NCAA Tournament-type teams—Valpo, Davidson, Illinois-Chicago,” Cragg said. ‘They usually have senior-dominated teams that are tournament-tested. They provide what out-ofconference games are about, preparation SEE SCHEDULE ON PAGE 19

After a shaky defensive opening half, point guard Sean Dockery and the Blue Devils turned thegame around with a much-improved effort in the second 20 minutes.

Duke turns off State's star power by

Paula Lehman

THE CHRONICLE

If you think the first half of Duke versus N.C. State was ugly, you are wrong.

Of course no one likes to see Duke down the entire first half, or Gavin Grant steal a hand-off from Shelden Williams to Sean C131T16 Dockery and then sink a 3H3iysiS jumper to make it 17-12.

The Blue Devils offense struggled to maintain possession and pa*ss the ball inside to Williams.

‘They did a really good job on [JJ. Redick] in the first half and for us to get it down to three at the end of the half was monumental,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We couldn’t get the ball to

Shelden real well, and J.J., they took him out of the game.”

So at first glance it was easy for anyone to glare at Duke’s first half with disapproval and disappointment. But it would be unwarranted.

The Blue Devils were able to come out on top at the final buzzer because they did exacdy what they needed to do from the

beginning.

They shut down Julius Hodge and Ilian Evtimov.

Hodge, State’s x-factor for the past four years and the only active player in college basketball with more than 1,700 career points, contributed nothing offensively in the first half. Daniel Ewing held him to a single field goal and one assist and forced

two turnovers in the first 19 minutes he spent on the court.

“In this ballgame there was a toughness about Ewing and he showed it,” Krzyzewski said of Ewing’s defensive effort. “If there was one guy out there that made it happen for us tonight, it was Daniel.”

“I knew today my first priority had to be to be a leader for my team and try and stop [Hodge] the best way I could,” Ewing said. “I did that pretty much throughout the first half. Like you said he had a little layup before halftime. But that was my first priority to play defense and lead my team.”

Point guard Wanisha Smith's quickness will help Duke get out in transition against theCavaliers.

Duke hopes the third time is not the charm for Virginia.

When the No. 1 Blue Devils (15-1,1-0 in the ACC) take on the Cavaliers (12-3, 2-0) Friday, will be the third year in a row that Duke has gone into Charlottesville as the top-ranked team in the nation, and in each of the previous two games Virginia has given the Blue Devils all they could handle before Duke prevailed.

Two years ago, jit took 41 points by Alana Beard to escape with a one-point victory. Then in 2004, the Cavaliers led at the half, and Duke did not take a comfortable

lead until it went on a run late in the second half. With these games in mind, the Blue Devils are not taking the unranked Caviliers for granted.

‘They always play their best basketball when they play us at their place, so it takes one of our best games as well,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We are going to take their best shot. We need to be able to accept the challenge.”

Both teams come into their only matchup this season on a tear. Duke has won 13 consecutive contests, while Virginia has won eight in a row.

Roof seeks top-20 recruiting class

RECRUITING TARGETS PATRICK JACKSON 5W 200lbs •

by

and

Michael Moore Michael Mueller

Jackson put up video game-type numbers in Louisiana last season, rushing for more than 3,000 yards and scoring 54 touchdowns. A shifty runner with great quickness and instincts, Jackson is capable of outrunning a defense with blazing speed or outmaneuvering a secondary with an array of open-field moves.

THE CHRONICLE

Head coach Ted Roof shocked the recruiting world by securing a commitment from five-star prospect Vince Oghobaase, a recruit who brought instant credibility to Duke’s recruiting efforts.

But with just three weekends between today and the Feb. 2 Signing Day, the Blue Devils still have a number of positional needs to fill on both sides of the ball. The Blue Devils will look to stockpile quality running backs, linebackers and linemen for the upcoming season.

Two of Duke’s top prospects, tailbacks Patrick Jackson and Clifford Harris, will be on campus this weekend. Quick and elusive, Jackson and Harris are among the top prospects in the state ofLouisiana.

“Duke’s got a realistic shot of landing one or both of those guys,” said scout.com analyst Jamie Newberg. “[They are] two outstanding running back prospects with the academics to do well at Duke, and they would certainly help out that football team, there’s no question.”

Jackson broke Louisiana single-season rushing and scoring records last year, rushing for 3,018 yards and scoring 54 total touchdowns. A shifty runner, Jackson’s efforts helped his team to win a state championship and caught the eye of college coaches around the country.

“Everybody, all the SEC schools, all the schools locally in Louisiana and the neighboring states are recruiting him,” said Laury Dupont, Jackson’s high school coach, adding that Jackson would likely choose between Duke, LSU, Tulane, Ole Miss, Louisiana Tech and Michigan State.

Harris, another stellar student, has received attention from Notre Dame, Louisville and Navy, among others. Both he and Jackson could add punch to a Duke rushing attack that was devastated by injuries and finished 10th in the ACC last season.

In addition, the Duke coaches hope to bolster their offense with tight end Colin Peek. The Jacksonville, Fla., native was relatively unknown before his senior season because a leg injury kept him out of most of his junior campaign. He rapidly went from obscurity to distinction as an elite tight end as he led The Bolles School to an undefeated season. The 6foot-6, 250-pound prospect has been recognized by coaches and scouts particularly for run blocking. Peek, who will visit

Mgarti, la~

CLIFFORD HARRIS SW-mins-Marrero, la.

Harris played option quarterback in high school, rushing for more than 1,600yards and 28 touchdowns. Like Jackson, Harris is a fast and physical runner who relies on quickness to get past opponents. In addition, his experience at quarterback will give him a unique perspective coming out of the backfield.

PAUL THORNTON

Through two recruiting seasons, head coach TedRoof hasbeen able to sign better talent than his predecessor.

Duke Jan. 21, has a list of schools that also includes Alabama, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma.

“People got to see what he was doing this year and he had a wonderful year,” Bolles head coach Corky Rogers said.

“The longer he played, the more people got to see what kind of player he is, and his stock has risen quickly.”

On the defensive side of the ball, the Blue Devils will look to restock a linebacking corps that loses senior Giuseppe Aguanno to graduation. Linebacker Paul Thornton could help fill that void, however. According to scout.com, the Katy, Texas, standout will make a visit to Duke this weekend and is strongly considering giving Duke a verbal commitment. The 6foot-3, 220-pound prospect had more than 100 tackles last season and is entertaining scholarship offers from Notre Dame, Missouri, Kansas and Northwestern, among others.

Another top linebacker leaning toward Duke is Adam Leonard from Rainier Beach High School in Seattle, Wash.

Leonard, who has had season-ending

knee injuries the last two seasons, said he should be back to full strength by May. Leonard played under former Washington head coach Rick Neuheisel, and his knowledge of the game could allow him to play immediately.

“He understands the game really well,” Rainier Beach coach Mark Haley said. “He is like another coach on the field.”

Leonard is also being recruited by UCLA but maintains that Duke is still his favorite. As with many recruits attracted or committed to Duke, Leonard cited his relationship with the coaching staff as the main draw to the program.

“I have a lot of trust in the coaching staff,” Leonard said. “A lot of the time this is treated as a business and coaches treat players as a product because their job is on the line. You kind oflose that assurance of trust, but with the Duke staff, I have a lot of trust in them, and how they believe in what I can do when I get back.”

Leonard’s official visit to Duke was initially scheduled for this weekend but was later canceled. He does, however, plan to reschedule a visit.

ST* 228 tbS’Katy, Texas Thornton has been a tackling machine, notching more than 220 tackles the past two seasons. His combination of size and speed could make him an immediate impact player for the Blue Devils. Thornton also played on a powerhouse high school team that won the state championship his junior season.

ADAM LEONARD 67” 220111 s Seattle, Hash, •

Major knee injuries h'ave cut Leonard's past two seasons short and caused many schools to shy away from recruiting the linebacker.

Nonetheless, Leonard possesses tremendous strength, leadership and game smarts. If he recovers fully from his injuries, he has the potential to be a top-flight college player.

COLIN PEEK BW-2501bs •lacksoaum Ha Peek rebounded well from a serious leg injury that derailed his junior season. One of the nation's top 20 tight ends, Peek has a large frame and tremendous skills as an extra passcatcher and as a run blocker. Like Thornton, he plays on a top-notch program that won a state championship last season.

The crop of incoming freshmen includes midfielders Mike Catalino, Ned Grotty, Sam Payton and Steve Schoeffel, defensemen Tom Clute, Dan Theodoridis and Chris Tkac and attackman Gibbs Fogarty.

Clute, Fogarty and Tkac play for Washington, D.C.-area private schools; the latter two—both of whom attend The Landon School—will join three otherLandon graduates in Duke’s program next year.

Grotty, from Delbarton High School in New Vernon, N.J., will become the fifth Delbarton almnus on the Blue Devils’ roster.

ANALYSIS from page 15 reigning ACC Player of the Year, the Blue Devils also contained 6-foot-7 big man Ilian Evtimov. Evtimov, who dominated the Blue Devils’ defense in last year’s 7874 upset with 15 points, was held to two points from a pair of free throws.

So although keeping these two players in check may have been the only thing the Blue Devils had going for them in the first half, it was essentially the only thing they absolutely needed to be doing. Throughout the game Duke’s bench kept the Wolfpack from gaining any significant lead, as Lee Melchionni contributed a career-high 16 points and DeMarcus Nelson added 15 more.

With Hodge down for the count and failing in an attempt to overcompensate at the beginning of the second half, the Blue Devils’ offense was finally able to pull itself together and look inside to its big man.

“When you have a player as dominant as Shelden, I think the only thing you can do is hope to contain him,” Nelson said.

“You can slow him down but you’re not going to stop him.”

Contained in the first half, the Landlord owned the paint in the second, scoring 18 of his 22 points against State’s single coverage.

“We noticed they were just playing one-on-one against me and I kept scoring,” Williams said of his second half action. “When they played a double team on me we had guys like Lee Melchionni and DeMarcus Nelson and it kind of opened things up.”

With some breathing room, the Blue Devils took the noise out of the crowd at the RBC Center and played like the No. 5 team they worked to become. But the most important footnote of Thursday’s victory over the Wolfpack was that Duke focused in on the greatest obstacle, recognized exactly what needed to be done and did it. Although it will be tougher against North Carolina and Wake Forest to come from behind in the second half, if the Blue Devils continue to eliminate the X-factor from their opponent’s offense, they have a better chance than anyone to defeat the top-ranked teams in the conference.

Daniel Ewing (left) contributed 17 points along with his solideffort defending Wolfpack star Julius Hodge.Lee Melchionni (right) added a career-high 16 points.

N.C.STATE from page 1 him down was able to get us some more stuff. He showed really good poise in there, and I think he was 6-for-6 from the line too.”

The N.C. State defense honed in on Williams and JJ. Redick particularly in the opening period, when they were limited to 10 points combined. Duke’s bench picked up the slack, adding valuable contributions from DeMarcus Nelson, Dave McClure and Patrick Johnson. Nelson bounced back from a disappointing performance against Temple by scoring 15 points and grabbing four rebounds.

“That’s why we are a team,” Nelson said.

“At any given moment any one of us can go

offand have a huge game. N.C. State tried to really take away JJ. and really tried to take away Shelden, and it gave opportunities for myself and Lee Melchionni and Dave McClure to step up. We worked all season, we worked all week to be put in this situation. We stepped up to the plate and hit a home run tonight, we all played big.”

Despite what Krzyzewski called a poorly executed half, the Blue Devils trailed by just three at the break. Duke was able to keep Hodge scoreless until just 90 seconds remained in the half, however, artd Ilian Evtimov scored just two points in the period. Hodge added a couple of baskets and some free throws down the stretch but struggled from the field over the course of the night and turned the ball over five times against Ewing’s defense.

Duke is one of the nation’s four remaining undefeated teams and will return to action Sunday against Virginia in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

NOTES Redick failed to reach double-digit scoring for the first time in the past 17 games, ending the second longest streak in the ACC.... Ewing won his 100th career game as a Blue Devil.... Duke shot 15-for-20 from inside the arc in the second half.... Melchionni’s 16 points were a career-high as he shot 6-for-9.... Williams picked up his third foul with 19 minutes remaining in the game, but did not commit another 0ne.... The win snapped a two-game skid against the Wolfpack at the RBC Center.

SCHEDULE from page 15

this season. Duke has a long-standing series with St. John’s and played Oklahoma in a packed Madison Square Garden Dec. 18.

St.John’s, a team Duke has played every year since the 1998-1999 season, is the only out-of-conference squad the Blue Devils have matched up with consistendy the past few seasons. Krzyzewski said he does not mind that Duke does not have a long-term series with a team of similar stature.

“We are two of the top five programs in the history of the game, so we would like to keep that going,” Krzyzewski said of the series with St. John’s. “Whether you think someone is down or not, we can be down, that changes right away. I would like the keep the St. John’s thing going.”

Taking the place of a consistent out-ofconference matchup against a top team has been the Dreyfus Classic in Madison Square Garden each of the past two seasons, which Duke treats as a home game. Cragg said the team has booked New Jersey’s Meadow-

for the conference season and for March.”

For the schools playing Duke from midmajor conferences, the opportunity provides not only exposure that can become a factor in NCAA selection, but also considerable revenue for programs with smaller athletic budgets.

The contest against Valparaiso gave Duke both the chance to play a potential first or second-round NCAA opponent and an opportunity to take the court in a major city, another point of emphasis in the schedule. This season, the Blue Devils played games in New York, Chicago and Charlotte, and began a home-and-home series with Temple that will bring them to Philadelphia next season.

The team has visited Madison Square garden nine times in the last seven years and has two scheduled games in New York

lands for a similar contest next season but has yet to secure an opponent.

“We’ve done something unique having a game up in New York each of the last two years against Texas and Oklahoma, which is very good,” Krzyzewski said.

Duke formerly had a series with Michigan, but Krzyzewski chose to discontinue the annual game soon after former Duke player and assistant coach Tommy Amaker took over the program.

“Coach K does not want to play against his former players and coaches,” Gragg said. “He is not comfortable with that. He roots for those guys. We definitely had a great series with Michigan so that hurt us.”

John O’Connor, Georgia Tech’s director of basketball operations, said his primary goal is to create a balanced schedule.

“You have some big games,” O’Connor said. “Then you try to balance it off a little bit in terms of playing the mid-majors.”

OGHOBAASE from page 17 said. “It’s a need area, he’s already there....

You’re talking about a 6-foot-5, 6-foot-6, 300plus [pound] defensive tackle. Those guys don’tgrow on trees. It’s a real credit to Coach Roof and his staff to go out and get him.”

As a result, Oghobaase looks to get immediate playing time at defensive tackle next season, where the Blue Devils lose senior Orrin Thompson to graduation. Along with defensive ends Clifford Respress and Ayanga Okpokowuruk, Oghobaase becomes the star of a defensive line class that could turn one of Duke’s biggest weaknesses into one of its biggest strengths. And Oghobaase said this class, coupled with a maturing team, could make Duke a winning team sooner rather than later.

“Don’t be shocked this year when we’re going to a bowl game. That’s all I’ve got to say,” Oghobaase said.

Duke's size advantage will force Virginia's zone to collapse, leaving shooters Jessica Foley and Laura Kurz open. The Blue Devils have been shooting better than 50 percent their last four games, and even if they cool off, the trio of Mistie Williams, Alison Bales and Chante Black will make sure the team gets more than one shot per trip down the court. Virginia will also have trouble stopping the Blue Devils in transition, as freshman point guard Wanisha Smith has become more comfortable at the point each game The Cavaliers have a number of offensive options and are very balanced.

Seven different players have led Virginia in scoring and four different players have scored more than 20 points this season. The Cavaliers are shooting 44.6, while the Blue Devils are only allowing opponents to shoot 30.2 percent. Something has to give, and Duke will have trouble stopping all of Virginia's options. The Cavaliers, however, will have to shoot very well to make up for Duke's likely rebounding advantage.

Duke has owned Virginia in recent years, winning the last nine against the Cavaliers. The Blue Devils know how to play as No. 1, having been the top-ranked team at some point during each of the last three seasons.

Head coach Gail Goestenkors has her team focused, and the close games in Charlottesville the last two years have taught the Blue Devils not to look past Virginia. As long as Duke does not turn the ball over early, the crowd will not be a factor and the Blue Devils' talent will prevail.

This is a better Virginia team than in years past, but the Cavaliers are still consider matched. Duke's size will dominate, and the Blue Devils will roll to their 14th strai l Duke wins 86-68. compiled by Michael Moore

Consider the Classics!!

Courses

Wynter Whitley and the Blue Devils'front line hold a significant height advantage over Virginia's post players.

VIRGINIA from page 15 The Cavaliers’ experience has been part of the reason for their recent success.

The team returns four starters from last year and boasts a deep bench, as seven different players have led it in scoring for at least one game. The Blue Devils, on the other hand, will only dress eight players for at least the next month.

‘They have great depth, and they have great balance, and on any given night different players have been stepping forward for them,” Goestenkors said. “We need to make sure no one person has an All-American night for them.”

Duke will have a noticeable size advantage over Virginia, matching up sophomore Alison Bales and freshman Chante Black, 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-5, respectively, against a the Cavaliers’ 6-foot-2 Brandi Teamer and 6-foot-l Jocelyn Logan-Friend.

The Blue Devils will attempt to continue

r

I~|

their dominance on the boards —they have outrebounded opponents by an average of 12.5 per game.

Virginia will likely try to slow down the Duke post players with a zone defense. Although her team has not played against a zone since early in the season, Goestenkors believes the zone’s focus on the Blue Devils’ post players will open up opportunities for the perimeter shooters.

“We feel very comfortable attacking zones,” Goestenkors said. “We have some good shooters, and we’ve been shooting the ball very well lately.”

Duke will also aim to cut down its average of 17 turnovers per game as it heads into its first ACC road game of the season.

The players believe they are ready despite the team’s difficulty against the Cavaliers in the past.

“Whether we are No. 1 or No. 6, we are Duke, and people are going to come at us,” junior Mistie Williams said. “We definitely are prepared for it.”

Not only are you responsible for eating disorders, but the shared guilt stretches back literally centuries. “The culture of disordered eating” is an apt name for Western Civilization itself.

My plane ticket for row 26, seat E happened to place me in the middle of the Temple team, which was on its way to play the University of Alabama. And like any college basketball fanatic, I secretly observed their every move with admiration, as they chatted away about UConn’s loss to UMass that had occurred earlier that evening. Little did I know that the conversation was about to turn into a match-up with me versus them, once the player seated next to me glanced in my direction.

“So where are you flying from?” he asked.

“Raleigh-Durham, because I go to Duke.”

And that was the tip-off. Immediately, he stretched his arms around several seats to get his teammates’ attention, and within minutes, six players were faced me to fire away a slew of questions. Despite my (less than) five-foot, puny physique, where even my 50-pound suitcase managed to knock me over at the Delta check-in, I quickly realized that in each one of these strong, athletic giants was a sense offear. Against me.

My secret weapon? I was a Dukie “Hey, we’re playing there on January 8. Do you think a lot of students will be there? And do you think they are going to do all those cheers and stuff?”

-l_ m, ho kubagawa i couldn’t help but discere vivendo laugh a little, because the thought or a

Cameron In-

door game without even the traditional “Let’s go Duke!” cheer was as outrageous as Coach K coaching Kobe Bryant. I explained to them that although classes wouldn’t be in session till that following Wednesday, the early pioneers for Krzyzewskiville ’O5 would certainly be there. In other words, yes, the craziest of the Cameron Crazies would be present.

Of course, this elicited a range of questions concerning tenting. Although I’ve always encountered this topic of conversation with my non-Duke friends, I’ve never actually talked to any ofDuke’s opponents about the somewhat strange cult of basketball here. The only type of interaction I have had with any of the opposing team’s players involve some sort of taunting, jeering or the plain, but effective, jumping-up-and-down screaming. To my surprise, the conversation with the Temple team continued throughout the whole flight, as if the players had forgotten about their upcoming game against Alabama; Jan. 8 was a date that had been etched in their minds all season long.

Sure enough, by the end of the flight, snippets of previous, traumatic Cameron experiences had surfaced.

‘When we played there two years ago, I was just a freshman. Y all scared me,” one player recalled while shaking his head, with the look as if he needed a hug. Another player added, “I heard there’s a freshman seminar to teach you the cheers.” Finally, before stepping off the plane, a player quietly confessed, “If y’all do cheers against players, and y’all found out the stuff against me, man, you’re going to rip me up.”

In my mind, I had won.

As I continued to field more questions and concerns while walking with the team to the baggage claim, I realized that the conversation had never turned to the Duke players themselves. Perhaps it was because they, too, had a brilliant, Hall of Fame coach, John Chaney, who could effectively prepare them to compete against any team on the court. But, perhaps there would always be that one element with this Duke team that, even with Chaney’s exceptional coaching, the players could not overcome.

And that element was us, the fans. The Duke University students.

I’ll admit, after a grueling exam week that left me bleeding Red Bull, I could not wait to board this flight, the last leg ofmy trip back to Birmingham and spend four weeks free from food points, e-print, the Perkinferno and yes, even the Gothic Wonderland. But when I finally landed in Birmingham, the place I will always refer to as “home,” my mind was on Duke.

As one player noted, “Y all got love for your players, and y’all got love for your school. We respect that.”
