As on-campus fraternities face their third year of competition from two organized off-campus fraternities during rush, greek administration is working to reinforce the on-campus network. The Panhellenic Association and Interfratemity Council announced a resolution Jan. 10 refusing to recognize non-IFC fraternities. The resolution also prohibits member chapters of Panhel and IFC from associating with these groups —a move that members of off-campus fratemi-

Online poker tournaments. Charity mixers. Benefit shows. Dance workshops. These are a sampling of the diverse fundraising ideas put forth Friday at Duke’s tsunami aid meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to create a single unified response from the Duke community to Dec. 26’s Southeast Asian disaster. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said that he was “proud and pleased at the amount of response that has emerged” and indicated that there is now a need to coordinate communication and ideas among student organizations, the University and the general student body. Moneta said he hoped such coordination would result in a long-term sustained response to the tsunami’s impact, given that relief will still be needed many months and years into the future. Keith Lawrence, associate director of the Office of News and Communications, said a soon-tobe-launched Duke tsunami relief website will serve as a clearinghouse for fundraising events, vok unteer efforts, faith responses and other forms of aid.

The Bryan Center walkway will soon be a thing of the past. After discarding the initial construction timeline almost six months ago to reevaluate the scope of the project, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said the revised plan for the new West Campus student plaza is right on target—and he’s prepared to initiate a “frenzy” of fundraising efforts to make it happen. After a presentation to the Board of Trustees next month, Moneta said construction is set to begin in early summer 2005 and conclude in September 2006—pending final approval. But the $lO million design is pared down in comparison to the original plan presented in October 2004, further reducing what was once projected to be a grand student “village” to a revitalization of the area connecting the West Union building, Page Auditorium and the Bryan Center. Moneta emphasized that

A large plaza that features several stage-type areas, green space and a fog fountain will link the Bryan Center with other student areas on West Campus. Construction on the $lO million project will likely begin in Summer 2005 and be completed by Fall 2006. neither construction nor design will inhibit students’ ability to use the Bryan Center—though the route to enter the building may change periodically. ‘We don’t have the details worked out of how we’ll actually sequence the construction, but the clear understanding is that the Bryan Center has to be open and accessible all the time,” he said. “If there’s a point at which the walkway isn’t accessible... we’ll build temporary stairs if we have to.” Though it will be a “coorditimes, nation challenge” at Moneta added, dining services in the West Union and opera-

tions in Page will also proceed as usual “One of the things we’ve been working on diligently is the [size],” Moneta said. “The way that we would do this wrong is that we would make this so cavernous that we would have gone from this small, narrow concrete walkway to something oversized for the area.”

Spanning approximately 40.000 square feet, the plaza will be larger than the current 6,000 square-foot walkway but signifi-

cantly smaller than the initial

Catholic archbishop seized in Mosul by

Robert Reid

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Insurgents kidnapped a Catholic archbishop and target-

ed security forces in a series of brazen assaults Monday that killed more than 20 people. A suicide bomber attacked U.S. Marines in Ramadi, where insurgents also beheaded two Shiite Muslims and left their bodies on a sidewalk. The top U.S. general in Iraq predicted violence during the Jan. 30 national election but pledged to do “everything in our power” to ensure safety of voters. As part of a crackdown on insurgents, U.S. troops arrested more than 100 suspects over the

past three days, U.S. officials said. In Mosul, Archbishop Basile Georges Casmoussa of the Syrian Catholic Church, was seized by gunmen and the Vatican condemned the abduction as a “terrorist act.” The 66-year-old churchman was grabbed while walking in front of his church, a priest said on condition of anonymity. Christians make up just 3 percent of Iraq’s 26 million people. The major Christian groups include Chaldean-Assyrians and Armenians with small numbers of Roman Catholics. The deadliest attacks occurred in three cities in the flashpoint region north and west of Baghdad where Sunni Muslim in-

surgents are seeking to derail the election. In Buhriz, 35 miles north of Baghdad, gunmen attacked an Iraqi National Guard checkpoint at the provincial broadcasting center, killing eight soldiers and wounding four. A suicide driver set off a car bomb at a police station in Beiji, 155 miles north of the capital, killing seven policemen and

wounding 25 people. A U.S. spokesperson said Marines suf-

Bush describes second-term agenda by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush said Monday he has “a big agenda in mind” for his second term that begins this week and that four years is going to be a short time to meet all his goals. “We got to get moving and get some things done before—before people kind of write me off,” Bush told CBS News in an interview. He said he hopes that with his final election behind him, Republicans and Democrats in Congress will work together to pass his legislation. Unity will be the most im-

portant theme of his inaugural address Thursday, he said as he taped separate interviews with CBS, ABC and NBC. “I have a responsibility to try to unite this country to achieve big things for all Americans,” Bush told ABC News. “I will say that in my inaugural address. I’m looking forward to the challenge.” He said he’ll announce his “big agenda” at the State of the Union address in two weeks, but it will reflect his campaign promises. Those include overhauling Social Security and the legal liability system; improving the tax code, school standards and the budget process; and making

health care accessible to more Americans Before the State of the Union, Iraqis will hold the first elections for their new government. Although turnout is not expected to be high as voters face violence at the polls, Bush said the election itself is a success. “Having the vote is a victory for those of us who love freedom,” Bush told “NBC Nighdy News.” Besides Bush’s swearing in Thursday, the inaugural week festivities include a salute to Ajmerica’s military and several lavish balls. Bush said he doesn’t think all the pomp is excessive despite the war and last month’s devastating tsunami.

Davis stresses human rights to mark MLK Day by

Victoria Weston THE CHRONICLE

In 1969, Angela Davis was removed from UCLA’s philosophy department for her social activism and support of communism. A year later, she was placed on the FBl’s 10 Most Wanted list and was imprisoned for 16 months under false accusations. And now, the subject of the international “Free Angela Davis” campaign that led to her acquittal wants you to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. by questioning the state of America’s democracy and engaging in radical social transformation. Davis, keynote speaker for Duke’s 16th annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration Celebration, urged a packed Page Auditorium Monday night to go “beyond rhetoric to action” in a liberally-minded speech that was highly critical of President George W. Bush’s administration. Davis reflected upon the long struggle to make King’s birthday a national holiday, citing the need for persistent activism in

order to effect change and the use of art and education to further social justice. “At its best, social justice activity is about education,” Davis said. “Is justice, by definition, confined to the realm of the law? As Dr. Martin Luther King realized, we must sometimes break the law in order to be more effective advocates for justice.” Davis suggested that Americans need to be more aware of injustice domestically and abroad. “War, torture; these are the kinds of things that define the world we inhabit today,” she said. “As concerned citizens, it is our responsibility... to work hard, to imagine and to struggle for alternative versions of democracy.” Having recently spent time in Europe, Davis urged the audience to consider the palpable anti-Americanism abroad. In discussing the human rights violations perpetrated in both American and Iraqi prisons, she suggested that a measure of hypocrisy TIAN QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Governor Mike Easley highlighted education and the state's economy in his inaugural addressSaturday afternoon.

RALEIGH Blustery winds and sub-40 temperatures failed to put a damper on the fanfare of inaugural festivities held Saturday for re-elected Governor Mike Easley, a Democrat who soundly defeated Republican challenger Patrick Ballantine in November. The governor took his inaugural oaths just after noon, standing before a backdrop of the state and national flags with wife Mary and son Michael. An estimated 3,000 people attended the swearing-in, including state government officials, Native American tribal leaders and volunteers from the National Guard and the Civil Air Patrol. Also present were television legend Andy Griffith, who delivered a poem in honor of Easley, and saxophonist and North Carolina resident Branford Marsalis, who played the National Anthem. During his inaugural speech, the governor addressed several of the same key platform issues which helped him secure his recent reelection. Specifically, he cited a growing concern with job outsourcing and the rapidly global-

izing economy. Bolstering the education system, Easley said, is the primary way to make state businesses and laborers more competitive in the “global era.” ‘The wave of foreign trade has eroded the lowest segment of our economy,” he said. “But we are charting these new waters with confidence and wisdom, determined to expand our knowledge and improve our skills.” Easley’s campaign catchphrase denoting economic solidarity, “One North Carolina,” was also frequently mentioned by both the governor and other speakers. The success of first-term education initiatives, including class-size reduction and a Learn-and-Earn program for college students, has helped boost Easley’s popularity especially among younger voters. “In his first term, North Carolina went through three major ice storms, seven hurricanes and a few budget crises,” freshman Ben Adams said. “I think that what he has been through since taking office in 2001 can only make him stronger for his second term.” Adams worked SEE GOVERNOR ON PAGE 9

Council names city manager by

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

The Durham City Council dropped the word “interim” from Patrick Baker’s title Friday and appointed him to the position of permanent city manager—the highest appointed position in city government One hundred and five people submitted applications to replace previous city manager Marcia Conner. Baker, the top internal candidate, beat out two other finalists with more munici-

pal management experience.

“I am a huge fan of promoting from within,” he joked at a Thursday evening question-andanswer session at City Hall. Talking about what managerial qualities he possesses, Baker cited his respect for every person and his ability to make people feel comfortable Tm so approachable!” he told members of the Durham community. Baker has worked with the city of Durham for seven years. He was the assistant city attorney when Conner resigned, and he was called upon by higher-ups to take on the role ofinterim city manager. Conner resigned in July after a botched search for a police chief, financial troubles in the city’s housing department and complaints from citizens and city council members alleging that she awarded municipal contracts to friends. Many employees also complained about the working environment under Conner’s leadership. Charlotte Woods, founder ofConcerned Citizens for Accountable SEE BAKER ON PAGE 9

THE CHRONICLE

At the end of the month, a small band of scientists led by several Duke researchers will adopt a plethora of organisms—including humans, birds, fish, snakes and insects at the new National Evolutionary Synthesis Center. Fortunately for the investigators, these arrivals do not need food or water since they will all exist only as data sets inside computers. In fact, the chief responsibility of the scientists will be to synthesize the millions of pieces of information regarding the new additions to track evolutionary changes through DNA. “So much data is Just flowing in—but in many cases we just don’t have the software tools to analyze this data in a reasonable way, and our center is going to allow us to ‘stop messing around,’” said Cliff Cunningham, the center’s director.

The evolutionary center, the result of collaborations between Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, was established with a $l5 million grant from the National Science Foundation—the largest single amount ever delegated to a study of evolution. “The center grant confirms Duke’s preeminence in the field of evolutionary biology and will offer new research learning opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students within the center,” said George McLendon, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences. Although its roots originate in the Research Triangle, “the center will begin in a national scale and very quickly take on international proportions,” said Stephen Nowicki, dean of natural sciences.

Except for the lack of food, starting formal recruitment for sororities early this year made life a lot easier for all involved. The 411 women involved in recruitment completed the first two rounds without having to deal with classes, and the process WTapped up Sunday. “The one day we had rush on a school day, I was already so stressed out because of classes and buying books,” said freshman Kaitlin Bidder, who accepted her bid from Kappa Alpha Theta. “I was so happy that we had gotten most of the nights done before classes started, especially the first round, where we had to meet so many new people.” “It was really hard last year to rush during school,” said Hillary Caron, a sophomore member ofDelta Delta Delta. “It was nice to get it out of the way before classes got into full swing.” In light of this week’s success, the Panhellenic Association began discussions Monday about bringing back early recruitment next year. The decision will mostly depend on the scheduling of winter break, which will last three and a half weeks next year. “If the break is only three weeks, we would feel bad about bringing girls back early,” Panhel President Jessica Chilson explained. “Bringing them back earlier did not hurt our numbers at all and made a lot of people happier, including professors.” Even with the early start, however, more than 100 women did not complete the entire recruitment process. This happens every year, as women drop out for various reasons. “Every woman who maximizes her options—prefs three sororities—does

Most of the sororities met their quota, which is determined by dividing the total number of women who remain at the end of recruitment by the number of chapters.

“The size of each chapter dictates how many women you can bring back each round, which makes it easier for potential members to go to as many different chapters as possible,” Chilson said. “The larger the sorority, the less you can bring back, but this does not effect quota.” Alpha Phi, which traditionally has had a smaller pledge class, handed out the full quota, while Alpha Omicron Pi came in well under quota. The other sororities all took approximately 34 women, though Panhel would not confirm the numbers. SEE SORORITIES ON PAGE 12

Pledge class numbers will not be final until bid cards are turned in today, and numbers may fall as girls do not have to accept their bids. Alpha Phi boasts its largest pledge class since returning to campus four years ago, putting it on solid footing as Zeta Tau Alpha begins its recruitment process. Alpha Omicron Pi, however, is nearly 20 bids short of quota, which could put it in competition with Zeta to attract unaffiliated women during informal recruitment.

PLAZA from page 1 Despite revisions, the new plaza will contain many of the features oudined in the preliminary design, including a 45 by 60 square-foot elevated platform over Union Drive suitable for performances and student gatherings. An additional performance space covering 144 square feet will jut out over the back of Kilgo Quadrangle. The plaza will also connect the entrance to the Bryan Center with the Chapel Gardens. Access to the student center from the gardens currendy requires a walk downhill then up a concrete ramp, but new construction plans include fdling the area with dirt to integrate it with the rest of the plaza. Though the change in topography will entail losing one of the loading docks beneath the Bryan Center, Moneta said it is more cost-efficient than the initial plan to suspending the plaza above ground. He also emphasized that the change will enhance the overall aesthetics of the area.

“One of the common denominators has been bringing a lot of greenery up on the plaza and around the plaza,” he said. “One of the reasons we want to fill it in with dirt and raise it is that then... you can plant fullsize trees.” Moneta also noted that the design experiments with the use of glass and transparent areas on the walls around the plaza. The railing of the plaza will also be transparent—a marked change from the concrete walls on the current walkway. Moneta said other unique aesthetic features include a “Times Square size” video screen and fog fountain. Noting student concerns about seating on the plaza, Moneta said the new benches on the main quad are one of several possibilities. He added, however, he plans on seeking “full student engagement” before making a final decision on a seating standard. The plaza will also incorporate the existing structure on the back of the West Union by The Loop and Subway. A new

stairwell will descend to the rear of Kilgo Quadrangle, and the one currendy extending to the Hideaway will be filled with soil, making it level with the plaza. But Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli said this area of the plan could be problematic because it is narrower than the rest of the plaza walkway.

“It could create a bottleneck,” he said. “I think having a uniformly-wide walkway from the main quad to the Bryan Center would be advantageous.” Moneta admitted that money for the project has not been secured, but he believes that fundraising with already identified “prospects” will prove fruitful with the new plans in hand. He noted that the University could use the Gates gift—a $5 million fund donated by Bill and Melissa Gates in 2002 for student life initiatives to help fund or front construction of the project, but he said that he is “optimistic” he will be able to raise the money from other donors. Vitarelli, like Moneta, said he is confi—

dent that funds will be readily available because the plaza project “is so focused on student life, which really resonates with alumni.” Despite design revisions, funding questions and deadline shifts, Moneta said the goals of the plaza project remain

unchanged.

“It’s a seen-and-be-seen space, crossroads, gathering place for students... [and] way to take the student centers and create a sense of whole,” he said. “That’s the image: the spaces that represent the student centers bound now in a much more elegant and functional way.” Moneta added that the overall project—which may eventually include extending a walkway through the Flowers Building to the Chapel Quad and renovating both the Bryan Center and West Union—will also depend largely on student vision. “We’re trying to build in a lot offlexibility so that... students will invent it,” he said. “If we over-plan this it will be as bad as under-planning it.”

This course explores representation of Central Asian and Siberian history and culture through a survey of region literatures. The course is comparative with units on the religions and literatures of the region Shamanism, Buddhism, and Islam —and units on specific genres of Russian literature on and from Siberia, including 19th century Exile literature, early 20th century romantic adventure, and early and late Soviet Era genres such as the Village Prose movement and the magic realist works of Borodin and Aitmatov. In addition, we will look at ethnographic and travel literature, and the biography of Kalmyk Lama who served as the 13th Dalai Lama’s ambassador to St. Petersburg. Taught in English.

Some of the most popular and powerful literature of Russia is little known: that of its women. The Russian literary tradition is largely known through its male authors: Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Chekhov. Yet women were imagining different kinds of worlds and these worlds had a huge influence on the development of Russian culture and literature. We will look at these women's works, their biographies, and the ways they shaped Russian letters and life; we will also examine what worlds these works open up to us today. Horizons of comparison include: writing by Russian men, writings by English, French, and American women (many Russian women wrote against Jane Eyre and other British works); and your own knowledge and experience.

RELIEF from page 1 taken on several disparate forms. In the immediate aftermath of the destruction, Duke University Medical Center established the Duke Tsunami Medical Relief Fund with an initial contribution of $50,000. The Medical Center is also investigating the possibility of establishing a payroll deduction system that would allow employees to donate to longterm tsunami relief. Student organizations have also been mobilizing. Remedy at Duke, a medical student organization, has already sent 60 large boxes ofmedical supplies to Sri Lanka.

MLK from page 3 was present in the administration’s War on Terror. ‘The Bush government represents its project as a global offensive against terrorism,” she said, but it “has generated practices of state terrorism that in comparison to which, its targets pale.” Davis cited several examples of prisoner abuse, including one case in which a domestically held prisoner found razors in his food. She found a greater injustice, however, in the continued existence of the death

penalty. “Many people [internationally] still find it difficult to grasp that this government still kills people routinely as punishment,” Davis said. She also emphasized the prison-industrial complex as “a vestige of slavery that lives on.” ‘The racism of the death penalty not only resides in the fact that a disproportionate number of the people put to death are people of color,” she said. “We have to see that the racism goes deeper.”

Junior Natasha Salazar of Duke Red Cross said her organization will also be raising money through corporate donations and fundraising events such as car washes and Duke Dreams, an auction of drawings created by elementary school children. The organization will also be selling Passion, a CD of piano music composed by junior Steven Lin, on the Bryan Center walkway and at the Marketplace from Jan. 24 to March 4. Proceeds from the $l2 CD will be donated to tsunami relief. The Asian Students Association held a mixer at Cafe Parizade Friday night, with proceeds going to UNICEF (the United Nations Children’s Fund). Other Davis concluded her speech by urging the audience to remember violations of human rights and to act in ways to effect positive change. “If Dr. King were alive today... he might counsel us to say that we do not want a democracy that spawns war and terror,” she said. Audience members responded with a standing ovation, and many in attendance reported feeling inspired by Davis’s out-

spokenness. “Her being here means a lot to me

because she represents the double minority of being black and female,” sophomore Tiffany Scott said. “It’s inspiring to see that in a world where that’s supposed to hinder us, she’s not afraid to speak out.” Other audience members also found her speech effective. “I thought her speech was very good, but it was more [focused] on how we can take action now than on commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King,” sophomore Vaibhav Upadhyay said. “She’s definitely very extreme, but I think that’s part of how she’s caused changes in the past and will continue to do so in the future.”

fundraising sources the group is consid-

ering include a raffle and the proceeds from its Lunar New Year show in February. Junior Hirsh Sandesara, co-president of Diya, Duke’s South Asian-American Association, said his group is planning a benefit show for Jan. 29. The group is also considering the possibility of an online poker tournament and a two-person comedy routine called Relief Theater. Sophomore Megan lx of the International Association said her organization is contemplating a benefit show and a dance workshop. Senior Aneil Lala, Duke Student Government chiefof staff, mentioned the possibility of students donating left-

EVOLUTION

from page 4

An in-house team of about 30 scientists will work under the supervision of the center’s board of directors and collaborate with hundreds of researchers who are expected to visit the center over the next couple of years. “Our hope is to bring in experts and scholars from around the world to spend time in the center—for it to have national and international significance,” said Huntington Willard, director of the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy. “There is tremendous opportunity for synergism.” Willard funded the world’s only phylogenetic consultant who will work with students and scientists as they develop their data, bring it to the center and answer some of the major evolutionary questions. The center’s goal is to be as open with the evolutionary databases as possible; the information will be readily accessible to the public, researchers and policy-makers. “The understanding of evolution has

When it comes to the religious response to the tsunami, Craig Kocher, acting dean of the Chapel, is working to put together a panel discussion of how different faiths come to terms with the deep suffering that the tsunami has inflicted. After the panelists spoke, members of the audience took turns expressing their thoughts. Comments included everything from encouraging Duke to take the lead in creating a tsunami warning system for the Indian Ocean to suggestions that more first-hand tsunami witnesses were needed to create a better connection between Duke and afflicted communities.

been critical and will be critical to almost anything in medicine and the biological sciences. Much of infectious diseases is a battle between our genomes as humans and the genomes of viruses. We need to understand what rules the infectious agents play by,” Willard said. “The tools to fight infections and prevent the infections depend on our understanding of evolution.” The center’s advocates point out that the center will provide a means for understanding global diseases like malaria and will offer perspective in the battle between evolutionism and creationism. The center’s supporters believe that it can play a significant role in guiding policy surrounding environmental issues like conservation and biodiversity. ‘The world is diminishing around us, We need policy to slow it down, and those decisions are intimately involved in a deep evolutionary history,” Nowicki said. The center will be located temporarily above Cinelli’s Pizza on Ninth Street. It will move into its permanent residence in the Erwin Square Mill Building in Durham by 2006.

Hailed as one of the most romantic lesbian films of all time (it was also the fust feature-length lesbian film to end on a positive yet ambiguous note), Desert Hearts is a timeless classic that resonates still with a palpable sexual heat. ,

it to have little impact. “It is understandable that they would pass such a policy, especially when Eta Prime and Delta Phi Alpha are competitive; it does help out their rush pool just because it might help to scare a couple kids away from ours,” sophomore Ben Rubinfeld, rush chair for Eta Prime, which was Kappa Sigma before the fraternity left campus in Fall 2002. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said he was proud of IFC and Panhel leadership—a sentiment echoed by Brian Vetter, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon. ‘The amendment is a definite step in the right direction,” Vetter said. “The attitudes and behaviors exhibited by these groups are not ones that reflect well on the Duke greek community, so divorcing ourselves from them in the public eye should have a positive impact on recruitment.”

Rush for off-campus fraternities will mirror IFC rush, said Ryan Turner, vice president of Delta Phi Alpha, which was Sigma Alpha Epsilon until it disaffiliated from the University in Spring 2002. Turner also noted that he has had conversations with University officials to let them know that his group is amenable to a closer relationship with the administration and will continue to follow the same antihazing measures that everyone adheres to. “We’ve dealt with that kind of antagonistic move before.... It’s the University’s prerogative to do what they want, and we simply think its unfortunate that they’ve chosen to try and marginalize the members of our group,” Turner said. “It’s not about on-campus or off-campus for us, its about the guys you want to hang out with for four years.” Despite the sororities’ reiterated ban on mixing with off-campus fraternities, Turner and Rubinfeld both said their fraternities will continue to mix with sororities as they have in the past.

BUSH PANEL from page 8 Institute for Public Policy. With the pundits spending relatively little time clashing head-on over the gritty details, the event unfolded as an amalgamation of handy statistics, quick anecdotes and general observations. The only major source of disagreement came over the probability of civil war in Iraq. Brooks described a violent divide as “possible but unlikely” because Shiite and Sunni Muslims have widely intermarried. The real fighting, he said, has stemmed from Sunni rebels attacking other Sunnis whom they perceive as collaborating with American forces. But Warner suggested that the situation is much more volatile. “Half of the Sunnis may not be supporting the insurgency, but they’re keeping their heads down to see who wins,” she said. The panelists agreed that a full reinstatement of the military draft seems exceedingly unlikely. “The U.S. had the power to do one thing: remove Saddam from power,” Broder said. “From then until today, our ability to control what happens there depends on Iraq.” Brooks said bringing back the draft would be “political suicide,” adding that the move would be equally unpopular with American generals, who frown upon reluctant soldiers. Turning toward domestic affairs, the three agreed that the issue of Social Security privatization likely provides

Nonetheless, some members of sororities expressed concern with the new penalties the policy requires. Any allegations of association with off-campus fraternities will result in an investigation by the Greek Judicial Board and interim suspension until the allegations are resolved. “Basically, I don't think there will be a noticeable difference in the sorority social scene, aside from an absence of the few events that we would normally have with these off-campus fraternities,” said junior Dana Edelsteiri, social chair of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Edelstein noted that her sorority has become more aware and cautious of Panhel rules. “I wish that this wasn’t the case, but it seems that both the Duke and greek administrations are forever trying to restrict the freedom of Duke social life,” Edelstein said. Some sorority members expressed concern at the amendment. “It’s Just completely unfair that they are telling us who we can or cannot hang out with,” said Eliza Howard, a senior in Delta Delta Delta sorority.

the sole opportunity for Republican collaboration with Democrats in Washington. “Republicans don’t want to go in on this issue by themselves,” Broder said. ‘This is not [an issue] they can pass in the House by pounding on enough Republicans.” Democrats fear such privatization because of the probusiness sendment it would likely induce, Brooks said. “You begin to think like an investor, favoring probusiness legislation,” Brooks said. “You become a Re-

publican.” On a global scale, meanwhile, an elderly population

threatens to overpower the workforce that must support them financially, Brooks said. The average age in Western Europe is 53 years old, Brooks said, adding that the Middle East holds the fastest aging population in the world; China, meanwhile, is experiencing “slowmotion black death.” All three panelists noted that Bush’s strong personality has dominated the tenor of Washington more than under previous administrations. “He runs the administration—it’s not Dick Cheney,” Brooks said. Broder said Bush recendy exemplified the administration’s skewed sense of hospitality by inviting reporters to an off-the-record session in the Oval Office—but never offering coffee, a place to sit or a significant chance to ask

questions. “If you’re not in the top four or five in the House, you

don’t know Bush,” Broder said. “With Clinton, after 15

phone calls, he’d be 180 degrees from where he started. But Bush doesn’t even make the first phone call.”

Connolly said he believes freshmen will ultimately choose to pledge an IFC fraternity because of opportunities such as section housing and access to University space. The University, as it has in the past, also issued a letter to families of first-year students over winter break informing them about the situation of non-IFC fraternities. “The letter covered many things about rush,” Moneta said. “The commentary about the two unrecognized groups was simply to provide useful information and to encourage parents to have conversations with their kids.” Turner and Rubinfeld said off-campus groups will give potential rushees a letter, which they can forward to their parents. In the minds many freshmen, the IFC amendment has no major consequence. “It has no deterrence on what fraternity I’m going to rush,” said freshman David Bieber, who is rushing both on- and off-campus fraternities. “I’m going to join the one I like the best through the rushing process.”

SORORITIES from page 6 Of all of the women who participated in recruitment this year, about 40 were sophomores, a higher number than in previous years. “I didn’tknow about the online registration [last year], so I didn’t register and subsequently wasn’t allowed to rush,” said sophomore Danielle Imperato. “It happened to a lot of girls last year, which is why there were so many sophomores rushing this year.” Imperato received a bid to Delta Delta Delta and said she felt recruitment was easier as a sophomore “because I didn’t have any anxiety about walking into a room full of strangers. If I was a freshman, I would have been a lot more nervous,” she said.

INSURGENTS from page 2 small arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire and the vehicle exploded. ‘There were U.S. casualties,” Ist Lt. Lyle Gilbert said, but declined to give further details, citing security. Later, the U.S. command reported two Marines were killed in action in the province that includes Ramadi but would not say whether they died in the car bombing. Elsewhere in Ramadi, a predominantly Sunni Muslim city, officials found the bodies of five civilians and one Iraqi soldier. Each had a handwritten note declaring them collaborators, officials said.

Racing down the court pursued by Virginia’s J.R. Reynolds, JJ. Redick pulled up beyond the arc, dribbled behind his back to lose Reynolds and hit an off-balance fadeaway, giving Duke a 15-point lead. Redick, senior Daniel Ewing and junior Shelden Williams carried the No. 5 Blue Devils (13-0, 3-0 in the ACC) to their 13th consecutive victory in an 80-66 win over the Cavaliers (9-5, 0-4) VIRGINIA 66 in Cameron InDUKE -80 door Stadium Sunday night. “Our big three were big tonight,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Our bench was good, but our big three won the ballgame, so I’m pleased with that.” Redick led Duke offensively with a game-high 28 points, 20 of which came in the second half. Williams nearly notched a triple-double, with 16 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high nine blocks, and Ewing added 17 points of his own. Down seven points midway through the half, Ewing drove baseline for a layup. On the subsequent possession, Williams denied the Cavaliers on two consecutive shots, setting up an 8-0 Duke run thatgave the Blue Devils their first lead of the game. ‘The coaches were kind of in my ear about us as a team not being as aggressive as we should have been,” Ewing said. “I just stepped up and made some plays and got some of the other guys into it.” Having gained momentum, the Blue Devils slowed the tempo and continued their run over the next eight minutes, taking a 32-23 lead. During that span Ewing sent a no-look fast break pass to Redick, who buried a three, giving Duke a lead it would never relinquish. Up six points to start the second half, the Blue Devils went on an 11-2 run over the first four minutes. Williams began the spurt when he spun off his defender into the paint for a dunk. But it was Redick who really turned it on during the final 20 minutes, shooting 6-of-7, including a perfect 4of-4 from behind the arc. “We did a good job on Redick in the first half, but the second half, he went

It was the second time Cameron Indoor Stadium experienced a moment of silence Sunday night. A minute and a half remained in the first half, and Virginia’s J.R. Reynolds launched a ball from behind the arc that shanked off the rim. In an attempt to grab the rebound, Daniel Ewing fell to the floor, reached for his left ankle and rolled out of bounds amid the traffic of a loose ball. As Ewing writhed in pain on the floor, the crowd held its collective breath, and visions of a lost season flashed before its very eyes. The fear of injury looms in the minds of players, coaches and fans alike. Some college players even use it to justifyleaving for the NBA early, though the millions of dollars waiting probably play a large part in decisions as well. Injury is also something nobody wants to talk about, for fear that mentioning it might just jinx them in the end. So, when Ewing was curled up under the basket holding his ankle, nobody had a word to say. “I really couldn’t pinpoint what happened,” Ewing described. “It wasn’t really my ankle. I was just hoping I would be okay and I’d be able to play the second half.... We were in a close game, and I was able to play. I was going to go out there and give it my all.” Earlier in the game, however, the Crazies could not have been happier or louder when Shavlik Randolph made his grand reentrance after battling mononucleosis for the past month. “That was their Christmas present to me,” Randolph said of the crowd’s exuberant welcome back. “That felt great.” Reggie Love also has been on crutches since breaking his foot in the ACC opener against Clemson.

The Blue Devils played two games over the long weekend against hungry opponents who were gunning for the nation’s top || £S 111€ team. In both games s Duke pulled away in the second half with unmatched intensity on defense that opened up the game. Center Alison Bales and forward Monique Currie have been those driving forces behind Duke’s imposing defense. Against Virginia Friday, Bales blocked two shots within the first 40 seconds. The 6-foot-7 sophomore picked up two quick fouls, however, and was relegated to the bench after only six minutes. She was forced to watch the remainder of the first half as her team struggled to a meager four-point lead at the break. In the second half she blocked two more shots, causing Virginia to shift to a more perimeter-oriented offense. This was clearly not a strength for the Cavaliers as they shot l-for-17 from behind the arc for the game, 0-for-ll after the break. It was the same story against Georgia Tech Monday as Bales blocked five more shots. She has already surpassed Duke’s single-season record for rejections and it is impossible to tell how many other shots she has influenced. “I think [Bales] changes just as many shots as she blocks,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She is mentally in the minds of players. It keeps a lot of players from even going in there.” After struggling for much of her

WRESTLING

Hokies eke out close bouts, hand Duke first ACC loss by

MattBecker

THE CHRONICLE

The third period and overtime were the downfall for Duke’s wrestling team as it lost 25-11 to Virginia Tech Saturday in Blacksburg, Va. Duke (2-2, 1-1 in the ACC) lost four matches during which its wresder was leading late in the match. Those defeats were too much for the Blue Devils to overcome. “I thought we did well,” head coach Clar Anderson said. ‘The match was a lot closer than the score indicated. If we got even two of those tight matches it could have been a different outcome.” The key matches took place in the 149, 165, 184 and 285-pound weight classes. At 149, with the Hokies (10-4, 20) leading 4-3, Duke’s Philip Wightman held a 7-6 lead going into the third period, but a reversal by Tyde Prater earned the Hokie the 8-7 victory. Duke’s Steve Smith faced Chris Stith, ranked 20th nationally in his weight class, at 165. Smith led in the third period, but Stith used three takedowns to pull ahead and eventually win 11-9. That decision—along with Wightman’s loss and a previous Hokie pin—put Virginia Tech ahead 16-3 in the team score. Defending ACC Champion and Duke cocaptain Frank Comely led Steve Boija 2-0 in the second period and 3-2 in the third, but a stalling call in the final seconds sent the 184-pound bout into overtime. Boija took advantage of a tired Comely and earned a takedown for a 5-3 victory. Saturday’s win

and Borja’s close 2-1 loss to second-ranked Paul Bradley of lowa last week earned Borja ACC Wresder of the Week honors. “Comely wresded a really tough kid,” Anderson said. “His conditioning isn’t up there with the other guys yet, but once he gets there he will be very tough.” The close losses frustrated Anderson, who admitted that moral victories are only marginally satisfying. “It was disappointing to lose but you can see that we are making improvements,” Anderson said. “We felt that we were on the verge of beating them. I am not sure that we had the confidence before the match to fully believe we could beat them. My hope is that these guys come out of it thinking T know I can beat these guys next time.’” Duke earned three individual victories in the match, with freshman Wesley Kuser showing his. potential in an 8-4 victory at 141 pounds. Levi Craig and Mark Thompson also earned victories for the Blue Devils. “Wesley has a unique mat sense,” Anderson said. “He is very competitive and wins a lot of close matches. He has a mental edge over his opponents to win matches and capitalize on opportunities. That is a tough thing to coach.” After the loss, Duke stands at 1-1 in ACC play. “Everything we are doingright now has an impact on the ACC Tournament,” Anderson said. ‘We are on a path right now where we could do very well.”

Well Waggenspack THE CHRONICLE

In its first meet since a second-place finish at the Patriot Invitational Nov. 21, the Duke men’s swimming and diving team (25, 0-3 in the ACC) defeated James Madison 162-80 but dropped the other half of the dual meet to Rutgers by 49 points Saturday. The women’s team (2-5, 0-3) fell to both of its opponents, losing to Rutgers 164.5-77.5 and to Richmond 154-88. The Blue Devils entered Saturday’s meet tired after a difficult winter workout schedule. The team spent two weeks in Florida, participating in two-a-day practices that assistant coach Lauren Hancock said would prepare them for the ACC Championships. Although the practices may help the Blue Devils later in die season, currently the workouts have left the team in need ofrest, according to Hancock. “We were mentally and physically worn out,” Hancock said of her team’s condition before the meet. The Duke men took an early lead despite the wear and tear. Tim Hyer won the one-meter diving competition, scoring 263.3. He followed with a second place performance on the three-meter board. Senior Teddy Heifers continued the Blue Devils’ quick start, winning the 1,000-yard freestyle, the first individual event of the day, by more than seven seconds with a time of 9:43.15. He later added another win in the 500-yard freestyle at the end of the meet. David Peck’s strong showing in the 200yard backstroke was the last Duke win before Rutgers took control of the meet.

“For every one or two guys we have, they had two or three,” Hancock said. Although Rutgers managed to catch and surpass Duke, James Madison never found away to recover from the early deficit. On the women’s side, sophomore Jack-

ie Rodriguez’s season-best time of 10:09.37 in the 1,000-yard freestyle was the highlight of the meet. The Blue Devils’ high-intensity practice schedule before the meet made Rodriguez’s swim more impressive. “We still expected to compete well, but we didn’t expect to swim season-best times by any means,” Hancock said. Although the women dropped both of Saturday’s races, Hancock insisted that the losses do not concern her and the rest of the coaching staff.

Fast Times meet. “It was an eye-opening performance,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said of the rookie’s showing, which qualified him for the IC4A Championships in May. “He many not be the best guy in the ACC right now, but he certainly has the potential to be the best in the ACC by the time he leaves here. He’s going to be a factor this year and will definitely compete for the tide.” In the men’s mile, fellow freshman Chris Spooner finished first among collegiate competitors and second overall with a time of 4:12.28, which qualified him for the IC4A Championship. Spooner also ran anchor in the men’s distance relay, in which he teamed up with lan Cronin, Dan King, and Tyler Wasieleski to finish second to Virginia Interment College. Sophomore Debra Vento was the third Blue Devil to finish first in her event, as her jump of 1.73 meters in the high jump earned her a ticket to the EC4A Championship for the second straight year.

team’s three big men sitting on the sidelines, Duke could have been in trouble. Thankfully for the Blue Devils, though, Shelden Williams uses his strength in the paint to score big in the absence of Randolph and Love. “Shelden Williams makes up for a lot of things,” Virginia coach Pete Gillen said. “He just blocks a lot of shots—he’s very physical.” Duke’s lack of depth has been the conversation of choice for basketball analysts all season long. Time and again, the team has fielded questions about how deep it is, but it is this healthy cynicism that keeps the Blue Devils going. “People keep saying, ‘Duke’s not this and Duke’s not that,’ but we keep proving that we can win,” Williams said. “We’re still doing that, so obviously we’re doing something right.” But, Duke has proved it has depth in talent—just not all in one game. JJ. Redick, Williams and Ewing have shown they can consistendy score in double digits. Against UVa, the trio scored 28, 16 and 17, respectively. Outside of the “big three,” there is potential and talent. Against N.C. State, DeMarcus Nelson and Lee Melchionni scored 15 and 16 points, respectively. Sean Dockery provides regular defensive strength and has scored more than 10 points in a couple of games this season. Additionally, a healthy Ran-

dolph will likely again put up strong numbers. On any given night, Duke can showcase its depth—but, on the other hand, it can also show its lack thereof. For example, only five Blue Devils scored points in the game against Oklahoma Dec. 18. Granted, all five scored at least 10points each, but still—five. “I don’t think we’ve had a game where we’ve gotten everything that we can do,” Krzyzews-

ki said. “I’d love for those big three to play like [they did tonight] and our bench to play like they played at N.C. State.” Ewing came back to the game in the second half and played through pain for the team. His absence would undoubtedly have been a brutal hit, but could have opened up an opportunity for someone else to step up. Thankfully, though, it doesn’t look like the Blue Devils will need that just yet.

Sean Dockery tries to poke the ball away from Virginia point guard Sean Singletary. Dockery had three steals on the night.

VIRGINIA from page 11 nuts,” Virginia head coach Pete Gillen said. Redick, like the rest of the Blue Devils, got off to a slow start, failing to score in the first 13 minutes. ‘Tonight I just wanted to establish myself,” Redick said. “I know UVa has a lot of trouble guarding people off screens, and they certainly did tonight. Once I got going, I felt like I could hit a lot of shots.” The Cavaliers set a blistering pace early, and the Blue Devils could not keep up. The quickness of freshman guard Sean Singletary, who scored a team-high 21 points, allowed Virginia to take advantage of every opportunity it could, run the court and stifle Duke early with pressure defense. Gary Forbes scored seven of his team’s first 17 points, including several putbacks, as Virginia jumped out to a 17-10 lead nine minutes into the game.

“I thought we started the game very casual,” Redick said. “On offense, we were turning the ball over and weren’t taking shots with a lot ofconfidence.” The Blue Devils took better care of the ball in the second half, committing only four turnovers compared to nine in the first half. On the defensive end, Duke held the Cavaliers to 34.9 percent shooting and Williams successfully limited Virginia’s captain Elton Brown to 11 points. NOTES Shavlik Randolph returned to the Blue Devil lineup, but played only five minutes.... Ewing left the game with a minute and a half remaining in the first half when he hurt his ankle, but the senior returned at the start of the second half... Duke shot 55.6 percent in the second-half including 5-of-7 from three-point range.... Virginia grabbed 16 offensive rebounds and outscored the Blue Devils 18-9 in second chance points.

Foley and Currie led the way for Duke after the break, both in scoring and on the glass. Foley netted 14 of her career-high 23 points and pulled down six of her 10 rebounds in the second half for her first career double-double. Currie had an equally strong final 20 minutes, scoring 16 points, shooting 7-of-8 from the field and securing six ofher game-high 11 rebounds. As a team, the Blue Devils shot 65 percent from the field and impressive 67 percent from beyond the arc in the second half. “Obviously [Currie is] a special player, and tonight she showed that—she stepped up when her team needed her,” Georgia Tech coach MaChelle Joseph said. “The thing I like about her is she’s kind of like the silent attacker—you don't even really know she’s got 27 points and 11 rebounds.” Duke’s offense throughout the game revolved around its three-point shooting. Foley tied a school record with seven three-pointers, and the team set a new Duke record with 13. “[Georgia Tech] did a great job taking away our inside game, so we needed to be able to hit our shots from the outside,” Goestenkors said. “A great team has great balance.” The Blue Devils needed their offensive surge in the second half because of their sub-par defensive performance early in the game. The Yellow Jackets hit 55 percent of their three-point attempts in the first half and freshman Jill Ingram led all scorers with 18 points at the break, including a 4-for-5 effort from behind the arc. Duke’s defense adapted in the second half, holding Ingram to two points on l-of-7 shooting. “[lngram] was shooting 17 percent from the threepoint line for the season, so we weren’t playing her for the three initially, but sometimes players get hot and you need to adjust,” Goestenkors said. “It just took us a little longer to adjust than we’d like, but I thought we did a better job in the second half.” The Blue Devils first-half defense was mediocre, and their offense was no better. Six minutes into the game, Duke had more turnovers six—than points —five—allowing Georgia Tech to jump out to a 23-8 lead. The Blue Devils controlled the ball better the rest of the game, turning it over only nine more times and recording 21 assists on 30 field goals for the game. Alison Bales also blocked five more shots, extending her single-season school record.

the inside,” Goestenkors said of the sophomore. “She alters a lot of shots.” Bales entered the game with 66 blocks, just two shy of the school record of 68 set by Sarah Sullivan during the 1982-83 season. With five blocks in the Virginia game, Bales broke the Duke season record, and now has 76 on the season. Foley, who scored 13 ofher 20 points in the second half, set a career-high, which she then broke Monday with 23 in a win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “It’s always hard to come up here to Virginia and get win,” Foley said. “[This game] was really important because we’re so young and only have eight players.” Though Currie and Foley dominated the scoring, Smith once again played a solid game while learning a position she was forced to play because of Lindsey Harding’s suspension. In Smith’s first season, Goestenkors has often called on her to guard the opponent’s most dangerous shooter. “Wanisha takes pride in shutting down three-point shooters,” Goestenkors said. At Virginia, Smith had to guard Brenna McGuire who had averaged four threepointers a game over the team’s previous four contests. Smith stifled McGuire, holding her to 0-for-9 shooting and one point on the night. Averaging 17.1 turnovers per game, the Blue Devils only coughed up 13 against Virginia, including five from Smith, who has struggled controlling the ball at times this season. Though her team’s total was much lower, Goestenkors still felt that her squad had room for improvement and noted that most of the turnovers were unforced, two coming off Chante Black inbound passes after the Cavaliers had scored.

DEFENSE

from page 16

freshman season with conditioning issues, Bales is now fit and runs the floor well for her size. Barring injury, she will remain a dominant inside presence on defense for the rest of the season. Currie, the main perimeter force for the Blue Devil defense, had two steals in each game over the long weekend. After lackadaisical first-half efforts in both games, her increased intensity in the second halves inspired the team on both ends of the floor. “I think now she’s getting the opportunity to showwhat she can do on her own,” Georgia Tech head coach MaChelle Joseph said. “She’s a special player, and tonight she showed that. She stepped up when she needed to.” Sometimes Currie lacks focus in the

beginning of the games against weaker opponents. But when she bears down, her vigor instills fear in her opponents and confidence in her teammates. “I think we just wanted to get after it more —be more aggressive, get in passing lanes and pressure the ball and just pick up our level of intensity,” Currie said of her team’s effort in the second half. Without Bales’ inside presence, Duke struggled in the first half against Virginia. Cavalier center Brandi Teamer had her way inside against Mistie Williams. With Bales back in the game and Currie playing up to her potential, the Blue Devils blew the doors off of a smaller and less-aggressive Virginia team in the second half. In the Georgia Tech game, it was not Bales’ absence, but rather a lack of effort on the part of the whole Duke team that caused the Blue Devils to dig themselves into a sizeable hole early on.

Duke is somewhat lucky, though, that they were not playing the class of the ACC in these two games. Against better teams, one half of tough defense will not cut it. The Blue Devils have had a bullseye on their heads since taking over the top ranking and should expect a better-than-average effort from their opponent each time they set foot on the floor. “We’re a great team when we’re a hungry team and when we play with that passion and purpose,” Goestenkors said. “I think we need to be much more aggressive from the tip. Unfortunately sometimes it takes us a little while to get going. That’s something we have to address.” If Bales can avoid foul trouble and keep bothering opponents inside, and if Currie can start pressuring on the outside and in transition from the outset, the Blue Devils should have no problem keeping their win streak alive well into the ACC season.

Read this and dont look up

The

whole Indiana Jones series is stupid. Now I understand that I’m a few years late to criticize the series and that my dislike of those “movies” is probably a “crime” to some people, but grow up, you some people. I’m allowed to not like things. Anyway, although I never really got into the Indiana Jones series, there is one thing that always intrigued me about of Indy, and this thing is his impeccable ability to make the best out of a situation. Stuck in a pit filled of deadly snakes? No problem. The walls, lined with poisontipped spikes, are caving in? Whatever. I admire that about Indy. I want to be like that. I hope you do too. So last weekend I went to Chapel Hill for dinner. As I was sitting in a nice Italian restaurant, sinking my fork into some delectable dill-sauced pasta enticingly labeled “The Crab” and debating with my eating buddies what country our waiter—who was named Zsolt (not a joke)—was from, the overwhelmingly obvious fact that the food in Chapel Hill is better than the food in Durham became clear. Well, that’s a lie; I already knew the food was better in Chapel Hill. I mean, there are m3tt GCdrOOm restaurants in Durham that are nice and serve unreal city good food, but the sheer magnitude of these types of joints that line the streets in Chapel Hill is ridiculous. But I also realized (while getting lost in the student housing area of UNC on the way back to Duke) that there is no way I’d ever want to live there. But it’s not a choice I have anyway. I’m stuck here in Durham. The funny thing about Durham is that most Duke kids look at it and go ‘What a stupid dull ghetto. I’m bored. I need constant stimulation. I want to go to Chapel Hill.” It’s either that or they go to a frat party. Or stay in their rooms by themselves and drink in a corner in the fetal position. That’s cool. I respect that. But all too often, we Duke students overlook what Durham has to offer us, especially these days. Overlooking this opportunity is what makes people from Durham hate,us. That combined with drunken students peeing on their houses every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night after coming back from an off-campus frat house. Although Durham seems to be a fear-inspiring ghetto that has you guaranteed to be shot if you walk three paces off campus, it is actually a blossoming little bohemian paradise, filled with interesting clubs and coffee houses and even more interesting people. This is where Indiana Jones comes in. Indy always has to face some life-threatening, perilous events in order to get the good stuff. You know, in the end he always ends up with the girl, et cetera. Durham might seem frightening from the outside, but ifyou jump into it and get past your lame childish fear of being killed, it’s really quite a cool town. See, the last few years have seen a huge influx of artists and musicians and so on, coming in because of cheap housing and a cool underground “scene” (I hate that word). And these people don’t seem to hate Duke students. So it’s up to all of us to finally help mold Durham into what it’s trying to become. We’re living in a world where the No. 3 album on the Billboard charts is called “Crunk Juice,” where Meet the Packers has made almost $2O million, and where probably about 50 percent of Duke students, who are supposed to be the smartest people in the world, are boring alcoholics. So how bad can Durham be? The answer is not bad at all. Just read The Independent and figure out where all the cool places are. Try to take at least one weekend to explore this town instead of doing a keg stand or peeing on a p-frosh. And for the record I’m not bashing Chapel Hill. I really like it there. It has good food. But we’re stuck in Durham, and that shouldn’t be a bad thing. It’s time to challenge ourselves and take that extra step a few more yards off campus and try to help change our town. I promise you won’t regret it. ....
