THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

Endowments grow 15% nationwide From staff and wire reports University endowments posted strong earnings in 2004, though not enough to make up for losses sustained in previous years or to allow universities to spend the amounts of money they depend on to run their campuses, according to the most recent annual survey conducted by the National Association of College and University Business Officers. Endowments, the financial coffers that support an institution’s financial health and often fund scholarships and some salaries, reeled in an average of 15.1 percent during the 2004 financial year. It was one of the largest average returns since the mid- to late 19905, and it came as a huge relief after declines in 2001 and 2002, followed by only a modest rebound in 2003. Of the 741 participating institutions, 11 lost value, a marked difference from 2003, when almost 300 endowments ended the year with less than they had started with. The survey attributes the positive performance to strong markets in the United States and abroad last year. It notes, however, that when inflation and endowment spending rates are taken into account, the five-year average return of 3.8 percent translates into a decline in endowments’ earning potential over that time. The participating colleges had total assets of $267.2 billion, an average of $361 million per endowment. Duke ranked 16th on the list oflargest university endowments. The University’s endowment grew from $3,017,261,000 in June 2003 to $3,313,859,000 in June 2004—a 9.8 percent increase. Duke ranked between the University of Chicago at 15th and Rice University at 17th on the NCACUBC survey list. Harvard’s $22.1 billion endowment, which grew 17.5 percent in 2004, again made it the wealthiest institution. Georgia Perimeter College was at the bottom of the list with an endowment of $370,000, up from $321,000 in 2003. In the midst of a $l.B billion campaign, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, received $l9O million in grants and donations last year, the most in a single year, helping its endowment grow 20 percent. Other universities, including Brown, Tufts and the University of Michigan, also announced record gifts in 2004, and as the money comes in, it will probably help strengthen their endowments for years to come. But even as their endowments have grown, many public universities say the SEE FUNDING ON PAGE

Wake-up call Turnovers cost Duke first loss to UNC in 12 games by

THE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL It was the perfect tragedy: No. 12 UNC (15-3, 3-2 in the ACC) toppled the No. 1 team in the NCAA, which just happened to be its archrival. Monday night Duke (18-2, 4-1)

fell to the Tar Heels 56-51 in its 56 first ACC loss of the season. “The tougher team won,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought they played tougher. They were the aggressor.” Although both teams shot poorly from the field in the first half—the Tar Heels at 26.8 percent and the Blue Devils at 16.7 percent—UNC was able to capitalize on Duke’s sloppiness on the offensive end. The Tar Heels accumulated 11 steals in the opening half alone that often converted into transition baskets. “Our quarter-court defense I thought was exceptional,” Goestenkors said. ‘They were scoring in transition and off offensive rebounds so when we had three turnovers in a row, and the turnovers led to lay-ups—they were at half-court—so we couldn’t even get back to play some defense.” Duke failed to maintain control on offense under the defensive pressure of UNC. In three consecutive possessions, Wanisha Smith lost the ball to aggressive perimeter defenders. In all three instances, the Tar Heels were left with a wide open court for easy breakaway layups. With 1:18 left in the first half, UNC had doubled Duke’s score and fiad a commanding 24-12 lead.

As Duke students flocked to the Duke Textbook Store expecting to purchase dozens of books, some found empty shelves where their mandatory readings should have been. Since the beginning of the spring semester, there has been growing dissatisfaction among students and professors for the institutionally owned and operated bookstore, with most complaints related to overpricing and unavailability. “Representatives at the bookstore told me that three of the 12 books that I had ordered had come in and that the remaining nine were on back order,” said Christina Askounis, a lecturer in the University writing program. “I had ordered them before the end of last semester, SEE BOOKSTORE ON PAGE 8

Two earthquakes rock Indian Ocean by

Chris Brummitt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Powerful JAKARTA, Indonesia earthquakes sparked panic in two countries Monday, nearly a month after a quake triggered a deadly wall of water that killed more than 160,000 people, but there was little damage, no reported injuries and no tsunami. The two quakes, which both measured 6.3 on the Richter scale, jangled nerves across the Indian Ocean region hit by the Dec. 26 tsunami. Panic briefly spread through the streets of the Indian coastal city of Madras after residents felt an earthquake centered in

the Bay of Bengal, about 930 miles away, near the Nicobar and Andaman Islands. Samuel Cherian, the senior police officer in Campbell Bay on the southernmost island in the Andaman archipelago, said he was sitting in his office when he felt “a suddenjolt.” The aftershock was felt in Aceh province on the northern tip of Sumatra, but such tremors have been common in the past month and residents have largely come to ignore them. Seismologists said the quake near the Andamans was clearly an aftershock of the 9.0 magnitude quake that struck off the coast of Sumatra a month ago. The two lie on the same fault line, said John Bellini, a

geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. But a pre-dawn temblor earlier Monday in the Indonesian island of Sulawesi—nearly 2,000 miles to the east—was not triggered by the Dec. 26 quake because they lie on different faults, Bellini said. “It’s just part of the normal seismic activity in that part of the world,” he said. Still, the Sulawesi quake, centered about 25 miles south-southwest of the city of Palu, sent thousands of panicked residents running to higher ground. “They were shouting, ‘Water, water’ SEE

The North Carolina Commission for Health Services released its share of flu vaccines to the general public Monday, following a nationwide restriction on access to the vaccines. The availability of the vaccine at Duke, however, will currently remain largely unaffected by this decision.

Jack Forehand,

Student cited for drunk driving Senior Daniel Peake, 22, was cited Jan. 18 for driving while impaired and careless and reckless driving on Flowers Drive. Peake lost control of a 1995 Mercedes at 2:55 p.m. when he hit a curb, crossed the road and struck a tree near the Allen Building parking lot. Duke EMS paramedics responded to the scene and told police they smelled alcohol on Peake’s

pharmacy supervisor at

Duke University Medical Center, estimated that there are already more than 2,000 doses of the flu vaccine available to the Duke community. In addition, Durham Health Director Brian County Letourneau said the county recently sent 3,670 doses of the flu vaccine to Duke. Student Health officials noted that the elimination of the restrictions —a move which stemmed from the state not wanting to waste its vaccine allocation—may create an increase in the demand for the vaccine, and Forehand said DUMC could not ensure that the vaccine would be available to those interested. “It’s questionable how long our supply will last,” he said. “It’s very possible that we could use it all quickly.” Although the flu season has been mild so far, the next three months are the peak of the flu season. “We have the worst of it potentially ahead of us,” said Jean Hanson, assistant director for Student Health. “We will lift restrictions and provide [the vaccine] firstcome, first-served.”

Palestinian groups agree to cease-fire by

Laura Sukhtian

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Militant groups have agreed to temporarily halt attacks on Israel in a trial period before a formal truce agreement. The groups hope the period will give Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas time to appeal to Israel to stop targeting militants, Palestinian officials said Monday. The movement toward a cease-fire has been coupled with efforts by Palestinian police to stop militants from firing rockets from Gaza into Israel. These moves have raised hopes that a deal can be reached to end four years of bloody conflict between the Israel and Palestine. In the only serious incident Monday, soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian, who was in a no-go zone near the Kami crossing between Gaza and Israel. The deceased was apparently planning to plant a bomb, Army Radio and the military said. It was not the first instance of violence at the location. Palestinian attackers killed five Israelis at the crossing Jan. 13. Abbas said he was close to sealing a cease-fire agreement with the militants. “Differences have diminished

Blown away

and I hope that there will be a final agreement very soon,” he said upon arriving back in the West Bank city of Ramallah after nearly a week of talks with militant leaders in Gaza. Palestinian officials say Abbas will not formally declare a truce until Israel guarantees it will halt military operations. Such operations include arrest raids and targeted killings of militants. Palestinian negotiator Ziad Abu Amr said Monday the armed groups have promised to temporarily suspend attacks on Israeli targets. “They will continue doing that for some time to see if Israel is ready to accept demands and hold the truce,” Abu Amr told the Voice of Palestine radio. Israeli officials have long resisted making a formal commitment to stop targeting militants but said they would “respond to quiet with quiet,” halting military raids. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has reacted positively to the calm but warned of a tough response if attacks resume. Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres said Israel should help Abbas win popular support for his policies.

Yushchenko taps top ally as prime minister by Mara Bellaby THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW

Ukraine President Viktor

'Yushchenko, visiting Moscow on a trip to

mend relations after a bitter election campaign, appointed top ally Yulia Tymoshenko as prime minister Monday. Yushchenko, who was inaugurated Sunday, initially said he would need more consultations before nominating a prime minister. His hesitation seemed to be aimed at avoiding a provocative decision just before his Moscow trip. After arriving in the Russian capital, Yushchenko’s office said he had nominated Tymoshenko, 44, who is widely disliked by the Kremlin. Moscow supported YUshchenko’s opponent in the presidential campaign, former Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. Tymoshenko, a firebrand opposition leader, was a key driving force behind a

wave of opposition protests dubbed the “Orange Revolution” that paved the way for Yushchenko’s victory in a fiercely contested presidential race that took two elections to settle. For Yushchenko, the Kremlin meeting was part of his delicate balancing act to move closer to the West while not upsetting relations with his powerful neighbor. For Russian President Vladimir Putin, the meeting could help undo the damage of his unsuccessful foray into Ukrainian politics. Yushchenko told Putin that “Russia is our eternal strategic partner.” “I will not conceal the fact that it was not an easy campaign,” Yushchenko said about the presidential poll. While Yushchenko appeared reserved and at times nervous, Putin by contrast GENYA

need to recognize that climate change is the single most important long-term issue that the planet faces.” Byers is a close confidant of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and the report was timed to coincide with Blair’s commitment to advance international climate change policy during Britain’s presidency of the G-8 this year. Byers said it is vital that Blair secure U.S. cooperation in tackling climate change. President George W. Bush has reject-

ed the Kyoto accord, arguing that the carbon emission reduction it demands would damage the U.S. economy and that it leaves out emerging polluters like China and India. “What we have got to do then is get the Americans as part of the G-8 to engage in international concerted effort to tackle global warming,” said Byers. “If they refuse to do that then other countries will be reluctant to take any

QUAKES from page 2 because they feared waves,” said Dr. Riri Lamadjido, at the city’s Undata Hospital, which received no injured patients as a result of the temblor. About 30 wooden houses and some shops were damaged, police said. Although volcanoes have a relationship to earthquakes in that they are created by the movement of tectonic plates, experts say the idea that a massive quake will have a long term effect on Indonesia’s famed Krakatoa volcano is doubtful. Krakatoa, which produced the world’s most powerful explosion when it erupted in 1883 and killed an estimated 36,000 people, sits off the other side of Sumatra island from Aceh province. Adjacent to the volcano is Anak Krakatoa —“Krakatoa’s Child”—a small volcanic island that formed last century near the 5,905-foot Krakatoa. Anak Krakatoa erupted repeatedly in 1999, spewing volcanic gases and rocks into the air. “I wouldn’t necessarily look for [long-term] activity in volcanoes which can be correlated with this earthquake,” said Tony Qamar, Washington state seismologist and research associate professor at the University of

Washington.

Qamar said even a large earthquake, such as the one in central

Indonesia, has a limited ability to disnipt an entire faultline.

“When an earthquake happens like that, it creates a stress on a fault, but that effect decreases dramatically as you move away,” he said. Volcanoes have their own earthquake activity, but it is caused by molten rock moving underneath the mountain, Qamar said. “Earthquake activity associated with volcanoes usually isn’t that significant,” he added. Further reflecting the pervasive jitters in the region, thousands of people in western Thailand fled their homes early Monday after rumors spread that an earthquake had cracked four major dams. The governor of Kanchanaburi province—which was not hit by last month’s tsunami—went on the radio and the head of the government agency in charge of dams held a news conference to reassure people that the rumors were false and urge them to return home. Meanwhile, U.N. officials said the number ofrelief camps in Indonesia’s Aceh province has dropped by about 75 percent in the past week, with most people moving in with relatives and a few returning to their villages along the battered west coast. The “dramatic decrease” in the camps—from 385 to fewer than 100—was good news because relief settlements can cause survivors to become too dependent on outside help, said Joel Boutroue, head of U.N. relief efforts in Aceh.

That would seem to dwarf the $44 million in cuts from the state that the university says it has faced in the last two years. But because Michigan, like most careful institutions, imposes strict rules on spending from its endowment, it would have had to raise about $BBO million last year just to make up for the loss in state funding. Last year, the stock market

did well enough to help some institutions with more modest endowments outperform their wealthier peers.

[but] I probably didn’t make the deadline.” She had to make photocopies of the current readings for her class. “I’ve had minor problems before, but this is the first time that I can recall when books just didn’t show up,” Askounis said. Bob Walker, general manager of the Textbook and Medical Center bookstores, said the reason some books are missing is because “the instructor did not place an order on time or chose not to place an order through the bookstore.” The process of book orders begins when a professor places an order with the department coordinator, who is in charge of regulating communication between professors and the bookstore. The original deadline for spring semester orders was extended from Oct. 30 to Nov. 4 in order to accommodate last-minute orders. ‘We take orders at any time, but we have that deadline to maximize student buy-back,” Walker said. The bookstore explores its options to “find as many used books as possible,” Walker said. ‘We visit the top six wholesalers at least once before ordering from publishers.” Once an order is placed with a publisher, delivery time can take anywhere between five to 10 business days. When the order arrives at Duke, the books become available on the shelves within 48 hours. Walker said sales from the bookstore have steadily decreased since Spring 2004, noting that this semester sales have somewhat rebounded. From online booksellers to local bookstores, many students and profes-

sors have found alternate suppliers for their schoolbooks. Professors said some students have even resorted to shipping their books from England in hopes of saving a few bucks. Despite this, The Regulator Bookshop on Ninth Street, which supplies the books for about 100 classes at Duke, has not seen any changes in its sales over the past few years. Tom Campbell, manager of The Regulator, said a book can be available between two days and two months after an order has been placed. “It really varies,” Campbell said. “Being smaller than the Duke bookstore, we can be a little quicker on our feet sometimes and be a little more flexible in getting books for people.” Since The Regulator stocks books on the same terms as the University bookstore, the prices do not vary much between the two. He attributed the recent decrease in sales at the University bookstore to online book buying. Walker said the cost of books barely allows a marginal profit for the University bookstore. “Prices are something that we have to deal with too,” Walker said. “[About] 25 cents for every textbook dollar might hit the bookstore, and that’s before expenses.” As with most businesses, the biggest costs for the Duke bookstore are human resources and invoice prices. “If the trend continues,” he said, referencing declining sales, “we will have to downsize.” As for complaints of missing orders, Walker said the bookstore contacts professors direcdy. “If there is a problem with communication, we are going to try to improve it,” he said.

AL QAEDA f,om page 2 morale as the nation prepares for elections next weekend. Since June 28, when the interim Iraqi government took power, there have been about 70 car bombings reported in or around Baghdad, according to an Associated Press tally. At least 372 people were killed and 1,038 were wounded. Prime Minister Ayad Allawi has been promising to crush the insurgency and restore public order if he holds onto his job in the new government. In the latest attack, a suicide bomber blew up a carload of explosives Monday outside the headquarters, of Allawi’s party, wounding at least 10 people in the latest blast claimed by al Qaeda in Iraq. The violence raised fresh fears about the safety of voters in Sunday’s national elections, which Sunni Muslim insurgents have threatened to sabotage. Al-Zarqawi has been trying to incite Sunni Arabs against the Shiite majority, playing on Sunni fears that the elections will spell the end of their privileged position in Iraq. Monday’s car bombing struck at a police checkpoint near the offices of Allawi’s party, the Iraqi National Accord. Police said the guards opened fire moments before the blast, a thunderous explosion that reverberated throughout the city center. Eight policemen and two civilians were wounded, according to Dr. Mudhar Abdul-Hussein of Yarmouk Hospital. It was the second suicide attack on the office this month. In an Internet posting, al Qaeda in Iraq said the attack was carried out by “one of the young lions in the suicide regiment” against the “agent of the Jews and the Chrisdans.”

An audiotape posted on the Internet a day earlier, purportedly from al-Zarqawi,

declared “fierce war” on democracy and said anyone who takes part in the elections would be considered “an infidel.” The authenticity of the tape could not be verified. Al-Zarqawi’s group has been behind many car bombings, beheadings, assassinations and other attacks in Iraq. The United States has offered a $25 million reward for his capture or death—the same amount as for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Many Sunnis are expected to boycott Sunday’s elections, either to express opposition to the process or for fear of reprisals. Shiites and Kurds are expected to vote in huge numbers. Iraqis are to choose a 275-member National Assembly and legislatures in each of the 18 provinces. Voters in the Kurdishruled area of the north will also elect a new regional parliament. Faced with discontent in the Sunni community, politicians running on a ticket endorsed by Shiite clerics, the United Iraqi Alliance, sought Monday to dispel fears that they would impose a hard-line Shiite state. Hanin Mohammed Qaddou, a Sunni Muslim on the ticket, said religious rule was “not part of the program and it will not be in the near future.” Shiite leaders also promised not to seek revenge for attacks by Sunni extremists. “We believe that we have no justifications, whether religious or political, to escalate the situation and enter into the civil war quagmire because it means the Balkanization of Iraq or the Lebanonization of Iraq,” said Khudayer al-Khuzai of the Islamic Dawa Party-Iraq. Officials have announced stringent security measures to protect voters, including closing the borders, extending the hours of curfew and banning private vehicles.

CEASE-FIRE from page 4 “There are things we have to do, in everyone’s opinion, such as removing the obstacle of the checkpoints,” Peres told Israel Army Radio Monday. Peres is the leader of the dovish Labor Party, Sharon’s newest coalition partner. Peres also warned that Iran was trying to disrupt the emerging truce. Many Iranian-backed Hezbollah guerrillas have been funding some Palestinian militant groups. “Iran... is the center of terrorism in the Middle East,” Peres said. Abbas won a Jan. 9 Palestinian election to replace Yasser Arafat, who died in

TUESDAY, JANUARY 25,

November after decades as Palestine’s most powerful leader. Israel shunned Arafat after the current round of violence began in September 2000, accusing him of encouraging terror attacks. But Israeli officials have been optimistic that Abbas, a pragmatist who has criticized the armed Palestinian uprising throughout his career, will help bring calm to the region before Israel’s planned pullout from the Gaza Strip later this year. In the new spirit of hope, Israeli President Moshe Katsav, who holds a largely ceremonial post, called Abbas Monday to talk about the importance of working together for peace, Katsav’s office said.

YUSHCHENKO from pages seemed to go

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit told reporters in Cairo that Abbas may visit there next week as part of his efforts to broker a truce. Egypt has worked as a mediator between the Palestinians and Israel in recent years. U.S. envoy William Bums, a senior State Department official, will arrive in the region later this week for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders on the truce efforts. In another development, Israel has resumed building one of the most sensitive parts of its separation barrier in the West Bank, Israeli media reported Monday. The 2.5-mile section is part of a fence that would surround the settlement of Ariel, deep in the West Bank. Residents of the nearby Palestinian

Putin said. Russia views Ukraine as a key part ofits historic sphere of influence, a major transit route for its oil and gas exports and a buffer between the expanding European Union and NATO. Moscow is nervous about 'Yushchenko’s plans to quickly integrate the 48-million nation into Western structures. At his inauguration Sunday, 'Yushchenko reaffirmed his aim to shift Ukraine’s focus westward. “Our place is in the European Union,” he said to a crowd estimated at more than 100,000 in Independence Square, where throngs of his supporters had gathered to protest fraud in the Nov. 21 runoff vote won by Yanukovych. Tymoshenko said in a Jan. 20 interview with The Associated Press that she also wants to restart Ukraine’s efforts to become a member state of the EU, but that Kiev should

it clear that Ukraine is not yet in line to become a member. “It is a bilateral process, and Ukraine cannot decide by itselfwhen it will join EU,” she said. She also pledged to review murky privatization deals that allowed rich coal and steel magnates from the east to accumulate considerable wealth in the years following the breakup of the Soviet Union. ‘They skimmed off the best cream ofUkrainian industry.... All factories that were more or less profitable were divided between them,” she told the AP. Tymoshenko, a crusading political opponent of President Leonid Kuchma, gained prominence when she headed the now-defunct Unified Energy Systems, Ukraine’s predominant gas dealer, in the 19905. Western governments and industry experts later applauded her for pushing through energy sector reforms as Kuchma’s deputy prime minister. She was jailed briefly on charges of bribery, moneylaundering, corruption and abuse of power while working for UES. She has dismissed the charges as politically motivated. While the United States and other Western countries refused to acknowledge Ukraine’s fraudulent Nov. 21 vote, Putin twice congratulated Yanukovych on his victory

town of Salfit stopped construction for four months by appealing to Israel’s Supreme Court. At first, Israel planned to include Ariel on the “Israeli” side of the barrier, fencing in a significant slice of West Bank land to reach the settlement. Palestinian and international criticism and court cases forced Israel to revise the route, planning instead to build a security fence around the settlement that still would enclose Palestinian land. Israel says it needs the barrier to prevent Palestinian suicide bombers and other attackers from infiltrating. Palestinians charge that the route of the barrier, dipping into the West Bank, amounts to an Israeli land grab.

and bristled at opposition demands for a fresh rematch a course that cast a cloud over Moscow’s ties with the West. Amid the round-the-clock opposition protests dubbed the “Orange Revolution” after Yushchenko’s campaign color, Ukraine’s Supreme Court invalidated the election results and ordered a Dec. 26 rerun, which Yushchenko handily won. In a promise clearly aimed at appeasing the country’s large numbers of Russian-speaking people, many ofwhom fear his Ukrainian nationalist sentiments might lead to discrimination against them, Yushchenko said; “Everyone can teach his children the language of his forefathers.” He also has pledged to develop close economic ties with Russia, Ukraine’s biggest trading partner and investor. Ukraine underKuchma signed up as a key member of a planned joint economic space that would unite it with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan in an arrangement that aims to harmonize tax, customs and other trade links. Yushchenko hasn’t made clear whether he intends to pursue the agreement, saying only that Ukraine would have to ensure that its national interests are met. After his trip to Moscow, Yushchenko is to embark on several days of visits to Western European countries including an appearance at the European Parliament to push his drive for closer ties. —

LANDLORD COLLECTS RENT Shelden Williams won ACC Player of the Week honors as Duke moved to second in the AP rankings, receiving one first-place vote.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Duke may be exploited Fifteen wins and no losses has lifted Duke to the No. 2 ranking, but the team’s resume isn’t jaw-

dropping.

The Blue Devils strength of schedule is 36th in the nation, behind Kansas, Wake Forest and Arizona, which have all SOS rankings in the top 10. Duke has only beaten one current top-25 team, when it roared back from a 10-point halftime deficit against Oklahoma. With the failures of other top programs, Duke probably deserves of the No. 2 ranking at this point hr the-season. But many of the have gotten worse—especially the lack of ffontcourt depth—even though they have yet to be ex-

posed. Shavlik Randolph, who is currentiy recovering from mono, was ineffective on both offense and defense at the beginning of the season when he was healthy. Having Patrick Johnson, Lee Melchionni or even DeMarcus Nelson guarding forwards and centers on the interior is not a recipe for success. There is not even a body on the bench like Michael Thompson, Nick Horvath or a healthy Reggie Love who can keep a post player away from the basket. Now a captain for the second consecutive year, Daniel Ewing hasn’t become Duke’s go-to player. Although the senior has put up very solid numbers and has had several big games, including one great performance against Michigan State early in the season, he has not elevated his game like other players on the team. J.J. Redick has improved his all-around game and has become more than just a pure shooter for the Blue Devils. Sean Dockery has developed an outside shot and has contributed much more in the set offense. Even Melchionni has found a niche. Ewing definitely has the talent and the opportunity to be a star for Duke on a daily basis. But he has a tendency to be very passive and often settles for the outside SEE STRASSER ON PAGE 14

Randolph recovers from mono Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

At times it seems as if the men and women in the sports medicine industry can work miracles broken bones, tom muscles and snapped ligaments. When the ailment is infectious mononucleosis, however, modem medicine can only sit and wait. Shavlik has Randolph learned this the hard way. He contracted mono in the fall, and the recovery time from the infection can be quite lengthy and relapses are common. It took a month of rest before Randolph was finally cleared to play again§t Virginia at home Jan. 16. Although his athleticisim is still severely hampered by the illness, he is slowly recovering the skills he lost after weeks without physical exertion. “I think I’m getting better,” Randolph said. “After not doing anything for a month, you come back really rusty, so right now all I can do keep getting better.... I think I’m getting better each day in practice. I just have to let my wind come back and let this thing take its course, I’m just really out of shape.” Randolph has played in three games since contracting the disease and has seen his playing time increase in each contest. Against Virginia he logged five minutes, during which he scored two points, grabbed one rebound —

Blue Devils gear up for tough indoor stretch Leslie Cooper THE CHRONICLE

CHRONICLE FILE PH(

JuniorLudovic Walter, ranked sixth nationally, is Duke's top singles player entering the indoor season.

Jonathan Stokke can’t wait to beat up on the nicest guy he’s ever met. In the first match of the 2005 indoor season, No. 9 Duke faces Charlotte Tuesday in Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center at 3 p.m. where it will have to contend with Stokke’s former high school teammate Mario Santoso. Following this opening match against the unranked 49ers, the rest of the Blue Devils’ schedule for the indoor season looks to be tough. Duke’s difficult slate leading up to the National Team Indoors in February includes two top-10 teams. “It’s a matter of trying to get some tough matches before we go to Indoors so we feel like we’re sharp and we know what to expect when we get there,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. The Blue Devils’ most challenging contenders will be No. 3 Florida, whom they are scheduled to play Jan. 30 in Durham. Immediately following this match, Duke will go on the road to take on No. 5 Illinois in a Feb. 4 contest. “[Florida and Illinois] are both legitimate national contenders,” Lapidus said. ‘They’ll both be very good, hard matches.” If recent history is any indication, the Blue Devils, who defeated six top-10 teams last year on their way to their 13th-straight NCAA tournament, will be prepared. Five starters return from last year’s 208 team, including 2004 ITA All-Ameri-

cans junior Ludovic Walter and senior Jason Zimmerman and All-ACC selections Stokke and junior Christopher Brown. At the outset of the 2005 campaign, Walter is ranked sixth nationally in singles. Stokke and junior Stephen Amritraj also received preseason singles rankings and are 53rd and 106th in the

nation, respectively. In doubles, the team of Walter and Zimmerman ranks 14th, while Stokke and sophomore Peter Rodrigues are 15th. ‘We have a lot of guys who play aggressively,” Walter said. “Usually, we do well indoors, so we expect to do the same as in

previous years.” As Duke’s highest ranked player, Walter’s first individual test will come in the Blue Devils’ match against No. 52 Old Dominion at home Friday. The junior is likely to face Monarch senior Izak van der Merwe, the nation’s seventh-ranked singles player. Van der Merwe defeated Walter in the quarterfinals of the ITA National Indoor Championships Nov. 5. “[Van der Merwe] is a good player,” Walter said. “He has a big serve, so that’s a tough match every time.” Lapidus said Walter has proven himself to be one of the best college players in the nation and expects he and the rest of the Blue Devil squad to have a successful season. ‘We have a very talented, deep team with lots of experience,” Lapidus said. “One of our main strengths is going to be the depth we have.”

RANDOLPH from page 11 and held his ground on defense with two blocks. At Miami he played for 12 scoreless minutes but helped his team by drawing several charging fouls against the Hurricanes. Randolph’s best performance came Saturday against Florida State. In 14 minutes the junior scored 10 points against the Hurricanes—capped by a emphatic putback dunk. “Shav is getting a few more minutes—still a ways away from being full strength—but he’s contributing,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after Duke’s twogame Florida road trip. “In both games he made big contributions, so we’re excited about that and I’m really happy for him because that’s a terrible setback for him to have that type of sickness while you’re playing.” Randolph attributed his success against Florida State to learning how to play hard even when the infection is wearing him down. “I think more so than [my game] improving, I’m learning how to mange myself a little bit better, especially when I’m out on the court,” Randolph said. “There’s going to be times when I’m tired and the team’s going to need me to do stuff. This team can’t wait another two weeks to a month for me to get back to 100 percent, so there are times when I’m going to have to be out there sucking

shot. Ewing is the best on the team at driving to the basket and finishing at the rum. This ability is his most valuable asset to an offense that has Redick and Melchionni on the perimeter. A final problem yet to be exposed is late-game clock management. Last year in the finals of the ACC Tournament against Maryland the Blue Devils had a late lead and ran a stall offense in which the guards would run the shot clock down under 10 seconds before attacking the basket, and it cost them the game. Krzyzewski has employed the strategy consistently in the past and it has often triggered heart failure for fans. The Blue Devils have a potent offense and they should not make drastic changes to it with a late lead. Duke should avoid hoisting quick shots, but that doesn’t mean the team should stall its motion offense until only a few seconds remain on the shot clock. With the brutal part of Duke’s ACC schedule looming, we will soon find out how well the team can play past these challenges.

commitment to rebounding. North Carolina grabbed 16 offensive rebounds, which led to 13 points equaling the halftime margin. “If you come out and play tentative in a game like this, you get back on your heels and you can’t play that way,” Goestenkors said. “You’re not going to be effective.” Although Duke’s 23.3 field goal percentage nearly equaled its 23 turnovers, Monique Currie provided the lone bright spot for the Blue Devils in the final 10 minutes of the game. She showed the type of heart and intensity that Duke needed from the beginning. With the ball in her hands, she took the game over when no other Blue Devil seemed to want to and gave Duke the chance to tie the game with free throws in the final minute. “I knew we had to play with a sense of urgency then,” Currie said. “We couldn’t be tentative at all, we were trying to come back. I guess I was just trying to get the best shot I could get, and get aggressive and get more in—

The team’s passes were lazy and the starting post players combined for just one field goal. The players further embarrassed

themselves in the second half when Foley dribbled the ball offofBales’ foot and outof-bounds while bringing it up the court during the second half. The Blue Devils are going to make mistakes, are going to lose games and are going to face more talented competition but Duke should never be out-husded.*

“We had real intense practices and Coach [Sylvia Hatched] stressed how we need to get in the lane, deny, play real intense,” senior guard Nikita Bell said. “That’s all to step I was focused on, just being intense. I just it up another level and just give it all out.” Monique Currie and Mistie Williams, who combine for 33.1 points per game in the ACC, were stifled by tight traps and double teams in the post and were ineffective. At the end of the first half, the duo had only combined for three points and the Blue Devils trailed 26-13. The deficit could have been greater if UNC hadn’t also struggled from the field, shooting 1 l-of-41. Currie was able to build momentum for Duke’s struggling offense after the break. Despite picking up her fourth foul early in the half, Currie threatened to take the game from UNC. The Tar Heel defense was unable to stop the versatile Duke forward who made driving layups, three pointers and free throws on her way to 17 points in the final eight minutes. With 1:04 left, Currie scored her last two points on free throws, bringing Duke within two at 53-51. “I knew we had to play with a sense ofurgency, and we couldn’t be tentative at all,” Currie said. “We were trying to come back and I guess I was just trying to get the best shot I could, try to get more aggressive and get more involved in the game.” But in the end, Duke’s comeback was stopped short at the foul line. Alison Bales and Currie each missed a pair of crucial free throws, while the Tar Heels connected on 3-of-4. The loss to UNC ends Duke’s NCAA-best 16-game win streak and its 12-game win streak against its Tobacco Road rival. The contest was packed with season-lows as Duke shot 23.3 percent from the field, tallied a mere 51 points and registered only eight assists.

Remembering Shauna Saunders Shauna Saunders was a graduate student in the Department Chronicle accepted rememberances from those who knew her.

of Economics.

She died Dec. 3. The

‘Housemate, sister and best friend’ I lived with Shauna for the last four-and-ahalf years in three different locations. Though we started as housemates, over the years we grew extremely close. Shauna was my housemate, sister and best friend, rolled into one. Together we hosted many a dinner party, costume party and plain old get-together and I have photographic evidence of the silliness unleashed among quite a few upstanding Duke students at these affairs. We spent so much time together, and I miss her so keenly, it’s hard to put into words. Like her idol, Jane Austen, Shauna was a sharp social observer and satirist, yet never cruel. In e-mails, phone conversations and lovely hand-written notes she would not only poke fun at her friends, family, colleagues in

economics and her doctors, but would skewer herself as well. Even as liver failure claimed her body, she maintained these traits. In late November of last year, in the hospital, we brought in a humidifier that put out a fairly strong current of moistened air. At one point, she wanted to have a wind chime over the air stream to encourage the circulation of “chi.” I fussed with the configuration to gain the maximum chiming possible. Though appreciative ofmy work, after a while she proclaimed, in a selfdeprecating tone, “OK, enough with the chi.” Indeed, she maintained her droll sense of humor to the end.

‘A passionate helper’ When returning from abroad, it is often awkward to walk around West Campus and catch the eyes of a professor or TA from a former class. I doubt many students would look forward to bumping into a former TA and regurgitating the repetitive explanation of how great being abroad was, and how it is so strange to be back at Duke. On my first day back, I had made a point of trying to find Shauna to discuss the progress of my economics major, and to see how her dissertation was coming together. Unfortunately, the first time I saw her face was on the front page ofThe Chronicle. Shauna was a passionate helper. She was always friendly and encouraging with her comments, and she made it clear that not only was she fully reading and analyzing my essays, but she sincerely wanted to see insightful improvement on the next assignment. When I met privately with her to discuss

my progress, her suggestions were detailed and supportive. Her enthusiasm for teaching economics was fully understood by our professor, Craufurd Goodwin, who showed the utmost respect for Shauna’s opinions and treated her as his equal in the classroom. In a field dominated by pre-professional men looking to take the first direct flight from Durham to Wall Street, Shauna taught me to appreciate Economic History for the scholarly development of the discipline, rather than the immediate possibilities for profit maximization. She was a direct influence on my choice of major, and her passion for the academic evolution of the field will not reer and life, nor on the all-too-few others'fortunate enough to have been taught by her.

An empathetic and attentive listener Shauna Saunders was a better listener han anyone I’ve ever known, with an ear exquisitely tuned to the needs of others. She punctuated her attentiveness with a distinctly Canadian mm-hmm that she intoned with the subtlety and clear connotation of a woodwind, sometimes to soothe, sometimes to draw a person out, and sometimes, in combination with the arched eyebrow, to gently remind me that I was full of it. When I think of Shauna, I often see her sitting at a table or, in times when she felt less well, propped in her bed, smiling as I enthused with happiness or nodding as I unburdened myself of grief and confusion. Through her own illness and pain, Shauna retained her ability to understand and give consolation. Several years ago, even from her hospital bed, she listened sympathetically as I talked about the trauma my father’s cancer inflicted on me and my family. Shauna understood that people who share their problems usually aren’t asking for advice, which made it all the easier to talk to her. It would be easy to think that Shauna’s

empathy came from her long experience with illness, but I don’t think that’s exactly right. Getting to know her parents and sister in the last couple ofyears gave me some insight into her gentleness, her ability to talk about the most serious things in life without flinching, and the special way she comforted with sarcasm. Shauna’s passion for Jane Austen suggests the importance she put on manners, never an empty shell and not merely an anthropological window onto the culture of a society, but an expression of kindness, sympathy, honesty and the other ethical values that she held dear. It is hard to say whether Shauna learned any of this from Austep,- or simply saw her as a kindred soul. I would have liked to ask her about this, and now I will never have the chance. More awful, I will not have her help to guide me through the experience of her death. I know I am not alone in this feeling. Dan Levinson Wilk Grad ’O5

Don’t believe me? I’ll prove it. Now I realize that both genders have cuticles.

Money talks

a 12-year veteran of the cash-strapped Maryland public school system, I had a hard time getting

used to the comparative lavishness that is inherent

to an elite private university such as Duke. I went from a

severely overcrowded school that often suffered shortages ofbasic supplies and necessary equipment to a school that gave all of its incoming freshmen free iPods. These amenities, our educations and everything else that Duke undertakes come directly from the staggering $1,426 billion that is budgeted for the 2004-2005 academic year; this figure is about 85 percent of the operating budget of my entire 140,000-student local school district and is easily higher than the operating budgets of large state universities with many times the numberof students, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Maryland at College Park. Tuition, although quite high, is not enough to support the multi-billion dollar operations of the University; it is the support of the alumni and other outside donors that has allowed Duke to become one of the foremost academic institutions in the United States and has greatly improved both the quality oflife of students and the education they receive. Financial support is the single most significant driving force behind Duke’s success, and we would not be what we are today without it. Given the immense importance of the support of the alumni, however, there is comparatively little discussion about exactly where that money comes elliott wolf from and exactly what intransparency fluences it has beyond the obvious benefits to Duke Decades of reform have brought some level of transparency to the political process and to campaign finance, but that transparency does not exist at a school that is effectively controlled by a 35-member board of wealthy alumni that often meets behind closed doors. And often, questions directly related to the alumni and the trustees significantly impact the day-to-day operations of the University and add an important dimension to the happenings on campus. For example, during the long discourse on the adequacy of ARAMARK’s food service, there was never any public mention of the fact that the current executive vice president and chieffinancial officerof ARAMARK happens to be a significant financial contributor to Duke and also currently sits on the Arts and Sciences Board. By its own description, the Trinity Board “has been particularly involved with such issues as the all-first-year East Campus... [and] residential life.” This connection between Duke and ARAMARK is significant and raises the possibility of conflict of interest; at the very least, it should have been part of the debate about ARAMARK’s future at Duke. These questions also reach beyond the creation of official University policy. During the Palestine Solidarity Movement conference, the incredible outpouring of support from alumni and other outsiders to Students Against Terror had a solely political motive that was not necessarily indicative ofoverall student opinion towards the conference. Earlier this semester, a Chronicle columnist pointed out that Duke is currendy honoring an alumnus who provided significant financial support to the dubious political organization “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.” He legitimately asked whether Duke should “ever reject donations from an individual based on his or her financial activities?” We must go a step further, however, and also ask whether Duke should place strict limits on the influence of donors over how their money is spent and over how Duke is operated as a whole, even knowing that it would result in less income for the University. This bi-weekly column will be dedicated to these issues. Who are these people running the University? Where does this money come from and are strings attached? Just how much influence do major donors have over both the day-today operation of Duke and the overall direction of the University? And most importantly, what qualifies them to exert that influence beyond the mere fact that they provide financial support to Duke? While the generous and extremely necessary support of olir alumni should not be discounted, it is important to address these issues that permeate all aspects of the University, including the overall direction that Duke will take in the future, what academic fields are given priority, who is actually admitted and even who gets basketball tickets. Elliott Wolf is a Pratt freshman. His column appears every other Tuesday.
