The project design is nearly finalized and the construction time frame is set, but one piece of the planning puzzle for the new student plaza is still missing: money. Though the cost of the project dwindled as the initial “village” concept waned, the price tag of destroying the Bryan Center walkway and building an elevated plaza to connect the West Union Building, Page Auditorium and Bryan Center still stands at $lO million. To date, the University has raised only 2.5 percent of the needed funds. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta acknowledged that the project’s coffers remain mostly empty despite years of planning, but he said the University has been “much more diligent in the last few months about fundraising.” With the final design for the plaza on paper, he expects these efforts to pay off—literally. Tve been staging prospects but not asking for gifts yet because I haven’t had something to show them,” Moneta explained. “All of these people who we’ve staged for potential gifts I’ll be meeting with over the next two

months and actually [asking] for gifts because we have a project to present to them.” Treat Harvey, major gifts officer for student affairs, said there are currently between six and 10 major prospects —mostly parents and alumni—“waiting in the wings” to donate to the plaza project. Throughout the planning process, administrators have these approached prospects several times with updated plans, cultivating interest at each stage of the project’s development. This reiterative process, Harvey said, benefits both the funding and design aspects of the project. “You literally keep going back and visiting folks who have shown some spark of interest so you are sort of working on the money side while at the same time going back to the architect [with ideas],” she said. One of the prospects—a Duke parent —recently donated the first contribution earmarked specifically for the plaza. Moneta noted that the $25,000 gift, while not huge, is an important first step in the financing process. The project, he added, will “need others of that magnitude” to succeed. SEE PLAZA ON PAGE 6

Local clinic opens doors with grant from Duke Endowment Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

After more than three years of

planning, the doors of a community health clinic opened to residents of Durham’s Walltown

neighborhood Monday. At a ceremony that trumpeted Duke’s recendy intensified commitment to community health as well as the advocacy of Walltown residents, several town and University leaders spoke about the need for health care that serves financially disadvan-

taged populations.

Plans for the Walltown Neighborhood Clinic began when leaders from the neighborhood, which is a block from East Campus, approached Duke about

creating a health center in Walltown, where about half of the residents do not have health insurance. Working with Duke through the Neighborhood Partnership Initiative and the Division of Community Health, local activists championed the project, which was initially thwarted by a lack offunds. ‘We believe in miracles and we say ‘thank you’ to Duke for seeing the need and making this miracle happen,” said Rev. Mel Williams, a member of the Walltown Neighborhood Ministries and one of the clinic’s original proponents. The Duke Endowment, which is not affiliated with the University, gave a $240,000 dona-

tion in early January to help launch the clinic. The grant will also partially finance an expansion at a similar clinic Duke helps operate in Lyon Park. John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said the Endowment donation “really saved” the project. The clinic features five examination rooms and a small laboratory for limited on-site tests. Named for Walltown founder George Wall, the clinic is a satellite of the Lincoln Community Health Center.

U.N. says no genocide occurred in Darfur by

Daniel Balint-Kurti THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ABUJA, Nigeria Sudan said Monday that U.N. investigators concluded that genocide was not committed in the country’s western Darfur region during a nearly two-year crisis, and the government and rebels committed to reopening peace talks within weeks. At U.N. headquarters in New York, diplomats confirmed that the report did not find that Sudan committed genocide, but they said it was very critical of Sudanese government actions. The report was expected to be circulated in New York Tuesday. The United States has accused Sudan’s

government of directing militia fighters who attack civilians in what Washington calls a genocidal campaign in Darfur, where a nearly two-year crisis has left tens of thousands of civilians dead. U.N. investigators have written a report on the allegations, which Sudan’s Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail said undermines the U.S. genocide claims. “We have a copy of that report and they didn’t say that there is a genocide,” Osman said on the sidelines of an African Union summit in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. Diplomats at the U.N. headquarters in New York confirmed the report did not find that Sudan had committed genocide,

but they said the conclusions were very critical of the Sudanese actions. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity. But a top negotiator for the rebel Sudanese Liberation Army said Monday: “If genocide means killing systematically people in one area, then there is genocide. “For us, there is a genocide. Nobody can argue about it,” Abakar Mohamed Abu elBashar said by telephone from London. Meanwhile, the Sudanese government and Darfur insurgents said they will relaunch peace talks in Abuja in February, raising hopes for a negotiated end to the SEE DARFUR ON PAGE 7

Witness:Tobacco industry hid dangers by Hilary Roxe THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A tobacco company executive-turned-whistle-blower testified Monday that his former firm’s executives spent years misleading the public about the dangers of smoking. Company lawyers attacked Jeffrey Wigand’s credibility, saying he has profited from testifying against cigarette makers. Wigand testified for the federal government, which contends the industry engaged in a five-decade conspiracy to deceive the public about the health hazards of cigarettes. The government is seeking

$2BO billion, which it describes as the amount the companies made through

fraudulent activities. Wigand, who worked for Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. from 1989 to 1993, said company executives knew nicotine was addictive, despite assertions to the contrary, and manipulated nicotine levels in cigarettes to ensure smokers remained hooked. & “We understood at Brown Williamson that every cigarette we made was manipulated to make sure that it delivered enough nicotine to keep smokers addicted,” he testified.

For nearly a decade, he has been testifying against the tobacco industry. His disclosures during a “60 Minutes” interview and subsequent deposition in 1995 inspired ‘The Insider,” a 1999 film about a tobacco whisde-blower. Seeking to discredit Wigand, Browji & Williamson lawyer David Bemick pointed to inaccuracies in past testimony. In 1995, for example, Wigand testified that the company had used rat poison in a brand of its pipe tobacco, believing it enhanced flavor. Wigand acknowledged that was “techni-

Local leaders hear Duke, Durham land issues Adam Eagun THE CHRONICLE

City and county leaders turned their ears to the public Monday night to discuss future planning of the Durham area. In a rare event, the City Council and County Board of Commissioners oversaw a joint public hearing in order to discuss the local government’s plan for future development. “We are here tonight as the elected board to hear from the public,” said mayor Bill Bell, who led the hearing. More than 50 citizens arrived to officially give their opinions on the Durham Comprehensive Plan—a local project targeted at guiding future growth and development in and around the Durham community. Officials have called for extensive alterations to the plan in light of the changes that Durham has undergone since the plan was originally adopted in 1995. Over the last two years, the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee worked to do just that. In April 2004, with the committee having completed its work, a draft was submitted for approval by the local government. Monday’s public hearing was the final opportunity citizens had to provide their input on the project. Each registered participant was allotted two minutes to speak to the council on a topic of his or her choice. Council members and commissioners, in addition to reaffirming that no more public hearings would be held on the matter, also voted to postpone approving the plan until they reconvened Feb. 28. Until then, they decided, they would work diligently to address the public’s criticisms of the plan’s current draft. As the hearing progressed, it became clear that land zoning was the issue with which the largest number of people took complaint. The majority of the complaints involved residential disputes, criticizing new zoning that would affect the taxes or city benefits of owners. One such complaint in re-zoning pointed to the proposed designation of land owned by Duke along Erwin Road. The Comprehensive Plan currently designates

this area as “open space” that is prohibited from development. Those opposed to this designation suggested the possibility of selling the high-profile land to a residential developer. Duke land came into question again when a University representative called for the re-zoning of non-campus University land. The representative requested that the Comprehensive Plan make a clearer distinction of Duke’s property as private land so as to eliminate any confusion in the future. Approximately half of the registered public, speakers at the hearing involved one particular Durham area—the Arrowhead residential community. Members of the community are at odds over a proposed re-zoning of their land to a “rural tier” distinction. Those proponents of a shift to rural zoning adorned their chests with yellow carnations at the hearing. Later, during the official presentation of their argument, group members all stood

in a physical demonstration of their position’s support. In contrast, other Arrowhead residents harshly criticized an alteration to the current “suburban tier” zone. As one representative of the cause, Arrowhead resident Kathy Shepherd accused the plan’s drafters of “cynical manipulation” by suggesting the zone change. “Until we find away for these people that have very rational arguments to accept this plan or deal with it in a very simple way, I think it’s going to be very hard to make these people happy,” said Bill Anderson, a local developer. Although discussion of land zoning dominated the forum, other concerns were introduced, ranging in scope from socioeconomic disparity to simpler matters like pedestrian walkways. One citizen criticized the plan’s perceived lack of interest in the low economic status that she said plagues Durham’s African-American community.

Shrubs trimmed for Central safety GPSC set to by

pick Young Trustee

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

“Steps are being taken, but we’ve still got a ways to go.” These words, or a variation thereof, seem to accompany any explanation for the efforts of University officials to tackle campus safety, but residents of Central Campus who question Duke’s commitment to their safety hope the University will carry out a full implementation of its plans —soon. Duke addressed physical concerns of the campus last semester when administrators conducted their annual campus safety walk—a literal walk through the streets, nooks and alleys of Central Campus in search of safety threats. Since that time, the facilities management department has undertaken efforts to adjust landscaping to prevent future crimes and improve lighting. ‘The Central Campus service office deserves a lot of credit for how they've responded to safety concerns,” Paul Kim, graduate advisor for Central Campus, wrote in an e-mail. “However, through no fault of their own and despite their efforts, I’m not sure if residents feel safer, which is a completely different (but related) matter.” The efforts to trim down the landscaping of the campus were prompted by the armed robbery of a delivery driver in early September. The suspect allegedly hid behind the branches of a tree for concealment purposes. “We don’t want to provide hiding places,” said John Duncan, manager of residential facilities and coordinator of the safety walk. Duncan explained that his staff focused on removing or pruning landscaping that could conceal potential criminals. “One of our guys got behind a tree and said, ‘Can you see me?’ and we couldn’t, so we took it up,” he said. Leanora Minai, senior public relations specialist for the Duke University Police Department, praised the efforts of the facilities management staff. “I think [the improvements] are excellent,” she said. “It’s preventative—an ounce of prevention goes a long way.” Despite these structural changes to the landscape on Central Campus, some are still not satisfied with the safety of the

landscaping.

“Just because DUPD is on Central doesn’t make it safer,” Zullo said. “Securitas has done an excellent job, but things can always be improved.” Zullo added that Central Campus Council plans to address safety concerns in this week’s meeting. One of the primary—and often overlooked—concerns is that there is no bus stop on Oregon Street and that students often feel the danger of being struck by passing cars, as one student was last semester, when getting off of buses.

Duncan, as well as other University officials and student leaders, praised the efforts of security firm Securitas in patrolling the campus, but many added that there are measures that the residents can take themselves to feel safer. “I would caution people against taking shortcuts across open fields late at night or early in the morning,” Minai said. “Parking lots are always vulnerable, [therefore] always be aware of your sur-

roundings.” University officials encourage residents of Central Campus to report any suspicious activity to DUPD. “Everybody has to take a part in keeping the campus safe,” Minai said. “It’s not just about cutting down trees and hemming hedges.”

The Graduate and Professional Student Council had its first meeting of the semester Tuesday night to discuss this year’s schedule and the timeline for the selection of the GPSC Young Trustee. The council plans to narrow down the remaining five candidates to three finalists Feb. 5. GPSC members will be allowed to view the resumes of the finalists before their Feb. 21 meeting, when each candidate will deliver a five-minute speech. The general assembly will then vote for their selections of the Young Trustee. “The Trustee will be the face that will represent all graduate and professional students on the Board of Trustees,” said Julie Bowsher, a fifth-year student in biology and chair of the Young Trustee Selection Committee. The council also invited Thomas Wall, director of public services for the Duke University Libraries, to speak about the progress and future renovations ofPerkins Library as well as science and engineering libraries. Wall addressed developments in the enhancement of research facilities that will likely become necessary over the following decade for graduate and professional students. These developments include additional resources and the creation of both group study rooms and computer terminals. He also said that construction will affect student life over the following year, asrpart ofPerkins will be closed during renovations. Wall asked for any feedback and input that graduate and professional students could offer because the plans for renovations are still flexible and apt for change.

Vote count still unclear in Iraq Jason

Keyser by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraq’s interim leader called on his countrymen to set aside their differences Monday, while polling stations finished the first-phase count of millions of ballots from the weekend election that many Iraqis hope will usher in democracy and hasten the departure of 150,000American troops. From the counts by individual stations, local centers will prepare tally sheets and send them to Baghdad, where vote totals will be compiled, election Commission official Adel al-Lami said. Final results could take up to 10 days. With turnout in the vote still unknown, concern was focused on participation by Iraq’s Sunni Arab minority, amid fears that the group that drives the insurgency could grow ever more alienated. Electoral commission officials said turnout in hardline Sunni areas was better than some expected, thought they cited no numbers. A U.S. diplomat warned that Sunni participation appeared “considerably lower” than that of other groups. Guerrillas claimed to have shot down a British military C-130 Hercules transport plane that crashed north of Baghdad just after polls closed Sunday. Al-Jazeera aired an insurgent video showing a missile being fire and flaming wreckage purported to be that of the plane. No missile impact was shown, and the footage’s authenticy could not be confirmed. All 10 military personnel on the flight were missing and presumed dead—which would be Britain’s heaviest single loss of life of the war—Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon said. The video came from the “Green Brigade,” a previously unknown arm of the the Nadonal Islamic Resistance in Iraq. Another group, Ansar al-Islam, issued a competing

PLAZA from page 1 “It’s sort of like that first check at the restaurant that you hang on the wall,” he said. Harvey admitted the process of making and even implementing project plans before raising the bulk of the money needed to fund those plans appears backward—at least to the public eye. But the “chicken and egg issue,” she explained, is a “normal way of doing business” for the University’s administration. “I know it sounds strange, but it’s just a way development works,” Harvey said. She noted that raising money can be difficult prior to the start ofany development venture because many potential donors want tangible proof that a project will succeed before flipping open their wallets. ‘There is a huge condnuum of skepticism: people who can totally envision things by looking at a plan and then people who need to see it more or less built before they make a commitment,” Harvey said. Fundraising has also taken longer than initially expected, Harvey added, because of the arrival of President Richard Brodhead in summer 2004. She said the University took a step back from the project and its fundraising efforts to wait for Brodhead “to give his blessings to the plans” because it “makes a huge difference when approaching prospects” with him on board. Similarly, Harvey said she expects most of the current prospects to make commitments soon after the plans are presented for approval at the Board ofTrustees meeting Feb. 25. The Board’s green light, she explained, will legitimize the plans in the eyes of potential contributors. “It is a big fact to donors to see where

The most recent Darfur peace conference began Dec. 11 in Abuja, but rebels boycotted meetings with government delegates two days later, alleging a new government offensive. The talks broke down entirely within weeks. Darfur’s smaller insurgent group, the Justice and Equality Movement, said Monday it would attend the talks if AU negotiators it says have treated them unfairly are “serious and objective,” said Khalil Ibrahim Mohammed, a top rebel official. Mohammed also said the insurgents’ leadership wanted other intermediaries to join the talks, which have previously been held by the AU. “We are asking for a new kind of mediator. America and the European Union must come forward,” he said

Any procedures that the clinic is,not equipped to handle will be referred to LCHC. “[Patients] can establish relationships with these folks so that they’re not going into the emergency room for community care,” Granda said. Chancellor for Health Affairs Dr. Victor Dzau, who has repeatedly underscored the importance of Duke’s role in enhancing local health care, emphasized the community’s involvement with the Walltown clinic. ‘We do not go around planting clinics like Johnny Appletree,” said Dzau, also president and CEO of Duke University Health System. “A community health center must emerge from the needs of the community, not from someone else’s social engineering.” As part of the health initiatives, Planned Parenthood will help establish community education programs in the neighborhood. Educational initiatives will address issues such as self-esteem, safety and risk-taking behaviors as well as physical health issues. “When health care can be made part of everyday life in the neighborhood, then progress has been made,” President Richard Brodhead said.

Abuja for further talks. A Western

diplomat said on condition of anonymity the conference was scheduled for the third week of February. Sunday, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the Se-

curity Council should continue to consider sanctions against Sudan over violence in Darfur, although council deliberations have stalled due to divisions among members. ‘The council itself has considered sanctions and had not been able to move forward because of divisions. I believe that sanctions should still be on the table,” Annan said. Annan, attending the African summit, said he had received the U.N. commission’s genocide report and will forward the study to council members “very shordy.” “Serious violations of international humanitarian law and gross violations of human rights have taken place. This cannot be allowed,” Annan said. The United States—one of five permanent Security Council members—has spearheaded an effort to punish those responsible for abuses in Darfur.

Other nations, though, have questioned whether sanctions are the best way to improve the situation for Darfur’s people, who have suffered continued attacks in recent days. One of the most serious violations of the April ceasefire came just last week when, according to AU observers at the scene, the Sudanese air force bombed a Darfur village, killing or wounding nearly 100 people. Sudanese officials said the reports were unfounded, but European Union foreign ministers condemned the attacks Monday and called on both sides to resume peace talks. The Darfur conflict began when the rebels took up arms against what they saw as years of state neglect and discrimination against Sudanese ofAfrican origin. The government is accused of responding with a counterinsurgency campaign in which an Arab militia, known as the Janjaweed, committed wide-scale abuses against the African population. An estimated 1.8 million people have been displaced in the conflict. Hardships including disease and malnutrition are believed to have killed more than 70,000 of Darfur’s displaced people, but many more have died in fighting.

It's a great time to be a woman and a lawyer because the closed door era is over. But, I think for a young woman to recognize that if she does nothing more than get a job in the law she won't be much more than any other kind of craft person. If you want to get real satisfaction, do something other than just your paid work.

It's the satisfaction you get when you are genuinely able to persuade other minds.... Often it isn't possible, but you just have to take that and go on to the next endeavor.

GINSBURG from page 1 up in the ’4os, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.” Dellinger led the interview with chronological questions, starting with Ginsburg’s childhood and leading up to her current seat on the Supreme Court. But Ginsburg connected every answer back to her crusade for gender equality. From surviving the Depression to being an unemployed Cornell Law School graduate, Ginsburg inserted her reserved humor and wit. Ginsburg, 71, entered the world of law when the profession did not welcome women. Although she finished law school at the top of her class, firms did not want or think they needed a woman, she said. When Ginsburg was offered a teaching position—one of her life goals—fewer than 20 women taught at law schools in the country. When former President Jimmy

Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1980 she was one of 11 women

in the system. Ginsburg also addressed in detail the camaraderie among the Supreme Court Justices. “The relationships among justices is very close,” she said. “We know that we pride the institutions in which we work and know it will suffer if we don’t get along.” From celebrating her three-year-old granddaughter’s birthday with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to showing their support during her struggle with rectal cancer, Ginsburg praised the justices’ general affection for each other. As for the gossip about Justice Antonin Scalia’s unconventional comments outside of the courtroom, Ginsburg refuses to contribute. “I hope you notice that at least two of the judges—I’d say three—do not engage in that kind of rhetoric,” she said, naming herself as one. Still, for any justice, Supreme Court de-

O'Connor became the first woman ar Supreme Court?

cisions can be difficult and the decisions often elusive to outsiders. “Sometimes you see that you are in the woods and you don’t see away out,” Ginsburg said. “The only way you can get out is by continuing to read on, and then one day you begin to see a clearing. I had that experience just last night—that’s why I’m so upbeat today. It took—l don’t know how many days.” Duke law students planned to storm the doors at the chance to witness the one-on-one interview, for most a once-ina-lifetime opportunity. Students camped out in the hallways starting at 9:30 a.m. for the noon presentation, armed with laptops for work and Constitutional law books to be signed. Although “she was not the .loudest speaker in the room,” Scott Edson, a thirdyear Duke law student, said Ginsburg’s speech hit home. Her words of wisdom for the budding lawyers included focusing on accuracy in advocacy, honing oral argument and writing skills and being selfless.

Bernick also contended Wigand has benefited from regularly testifying in tobacco trials. Though Wigand said he has made less than $lOO,OOO for his work on tobacco litigation, Bernick noted that trial lawyers have donated about $2 million to Smoke Free Kids, a nonprofit organization Wigand started in 1998. The trial, which comes six years after the states reached setdements worth $246 billion with the industry to recoup the cost of treating sick smokers, is in its fifth month in U.S. District Court and probably will continue for several more. The Justice Department is pursuing the case using a 1970 civil racketeering statute originally designed to —

in the future. Earlier testimony has focused on whether tobacco companies marketed products to children and whether tobacco companies are playing down the dangers posed by secondhand smoke. In direct testimony filed before his court appearance and during Monday’s proceeding, Wigand alleged that some policies at Brown & Williamson were driven by knowledge of the dangers posed by cigarette smoking and the potential litigation the company might face. For example, the company stopped an internal research project into safer cigarettes because an executive was concerned such a project could be used in potential future lawsuits against the company “and would play into the hands of an adversary,” Wigand said. Executives also

She studied at Harvard Law School and graduated from Columbia Law School in 1959. She served as a professor of law at Rutgers University School ofLaw and on the faculty at Columbia Law School. She served as general counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union from 1973 to 1980 and on the ACLU’s National Board of Directors from 1974 to 1980. In 1971, she was instrumental in launching the Women’s Rights project of the ACLU.

THE CHRONICLE

I’ve had it with the BCS system, It’s an intriguing idea formed with good intentions. But over the past five years, the Bowl Championship Series has created more questions than it has answered. In 2000, the BCS put oneloss Florida State in the national championship game over one-loss Miami, which had beaten Florida State during the regular season. In 2001, the system snubbed one-loss Oregon in favor of Nebraska, which had lost convincingly in .the Big-XII championship! game justweekkbefore. v Last season, the system produced split national champions as three teams entered the BCS bowls with just one loss. This season, the BCS nearly suffered a similar fate, as undefeated Auburn was omitted from the championship game. As a result, the BCS has left fans playing through more “what if?” scenarios than a choose-yourown-adventure book. And when coaches and NCAA bigwigs meet again to tweak the formula, I’ll be just as frustrated ifthey decide SEE BCS ON PAGE 12

Newcomers drum up support THE CHRONICLE

When Miami and Virginia Tech officially joined the ACC last summer, no one expected the schools to have an immediate impact in basketball. But almost midway through conference schedule, the Hurricanes and Hokies both find themselves in the middle of the standings. Virginia Tech’s and Miami’s surprising successes can be pardy attributed to each schools’ 3-1 home record. Through extensive marketing efforts, the newcom-

ers have focused on bringing their loyal football fans to the arena to cheer on their up-andcoming basketball teams. At Miami, the basketball team’s tagline for the season, ‘This is the ACC Are You In?” has helped to drum up support. “It’s a call to action,” said Ross Bjork, associate athletic director for external operations at Miami. “It’s very simple, but very meaningful.” Because Miami’s men’s basketball team was eliminatedfrom the school’s athletic program from 1970 until 1985, the admin-

istration is working to expand a relatively young fan base. “I think that it’s going to be a continuing learning process in terms of educating our student body and folks about the ACC,”

Miami head coach Frank Haith said. “There is no more passionate, enthusiastic league in the

country.”

Several events—similar to those that Cameron Crazies enjoy—have encouraged Hurricane fan support. Earlier in the season, Haith invited students to SEE ACC FANS ON PAGE 10

Head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced Monday that forward David McClure will undergo surgery today on an injured left knee. The freshman sat out Sunday’s game against Virjginia Tech with the injury, which he suffered last Wednesday against Maryland. “It’s going to get scooped and they don’t know the full extent of it yet and won’t know until they do the surgery,” Krzyzewski said. ‘There’s a loose body in there but they think there might be a little bit more of a problem.” No timetable for his recovery and return will be available until after the procedure is performed at the Duke Hospital. Krzyzewski said the injury would likely keep McClure sidelined for at least a few weeks. The Ridgefield, Conn., native, who has started three games for the Blue Devils this season, was averaging 1.6 points and 1.4 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game. “I feel badly for David,” Krzyzewski said. “He is a key member of our team and he will be missed during the time he is out” McClure’s absence will further deplete Duke’s frontcourt, which is currendy missing senior Reggie Love, who broke a bone in his right foot Jan. 2.

WRESTLING

Duke goes for 2nd upset over rival UNC by

Matt Becker

THE CHRONICLE

USC's Reggie Bush was a key figure in the Trojans'National Championship Orange Bowl victory over Oklahoma.

Though any sporting event that pits Duke against North Carolina is traditionally considered a rivalry, in wrestling the matchup is more like a feud between a younger and older brother. From 1972 to 2003, the Tar Heels won 31 consecutive matches against the Blue Devils. In 2004, Duke finally showed signs of an improved program with a 21-13 victory on their way to a first-place regular-season finish in the ACC. This year, the Blue Devils want to show that they are no

longer the little brother by defeating the Tar Heels tonight at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “They would not consider this to be a rivalry,” Duke head coach Clar Anderson said ofNorth Carolina. “They think they are building to be a top-10 program in the country and that we can’t be competidon. Well, we want to make this a rivalry.” Duke will face tougher competidon against UNC this year than it did last season. The Tar Heels have bolstered their lineup with the nation’s 17th-best recruiting SEE UNC ON PAGE 12

Tenting grows

out

Saying that tenting for games at Duke has gone awry is akin to saying that establishing the peace in Iraq has run into a few bumps in the road. For the life of me, I have never understood why such a backward practice has been allowed to reign supreme for so long at a university with such smart people running around. No need to tell me about some of the fun associated with tenting. Let me repeat —Class of 1989. We invented the practice (along with a laundry list of other things you now practice, but alas, no need for me to further establish credibility here). Frankly, while tenting was fun for a wee bit even back then (though it admittedly lasted no more than a handful of days, even for Carolina games), it was all the more fun to find ways to sneak into Cameron without waiting to avoid freezing, boredom, etc. Ahhh, the

stories I could tell, but I don’t know the statute of limitations on such things. In any event, my point is, listen to Greg Czaja, my sisters and brothers. Wake up! Tenting has become outright silly, at best, and absolutely pathetic, at worst. No doubt some of those brilliant, yet stagnant minds might want to (finally) think outside the box and fashion a more workable solution. Here’s one for free (and I usually charge big bucks) —acknowledge that you’re all equally fanatical and simply hold a lottery for the season. And no, of course I have no problem with the standing and bouncing and dancing and [insert antic] all game long. Perhaps you will one day soon be conscious when you are doing it.

Get rid of cheer sheets As a ’94 graduate of Duke, I’m ashamed that the once witty and creative Duke student body has gotten to the point where their spontaneity and their cleverness is not only canned, but totally void of anything that resembles originality. In fact, the students were duped into ridiculing themselves this past week against Maryland with the “piggy” chants.... Get rid of the cheer sheets, and get back to basics—funny, spontaneous,

“Myra and Piggie,” it would

have sounded an awful lot like the infamous Myron Piggie, who, as Duke fans know, was an AAU coach that paid money to Duke player Corey Magette. The NCAA looked the other way and decided not to nullify Duke’s 1999 NCAA Championship runner-up status. But that’s beside the point The question is: where do the Crazies go from here? The cheer sheet can no longer be trusted. And the information on the cheer sheets of past are now suspect Will Duke fans be forced to cheer based on raw emotion and passion like the rest of the country—instead of the orchestrated scripts that have become quite lame? Once original, the Cameron Crazy is losing its edge. Is it time to pack it in? The bigger question is: how on earth would someone trust the words of a stranger that claimed Caner Medley’s nickname is Piggie? Just more proof that $40,000 a year can’t always teach intelligence.

Cheer sheets: the Holy Grail of the Duke basketball fan. They are what drive the Cameron Crazies to chant (not cheer) during games. So I have to ask myself, now that the reliability of these cheer sheets have been called into question, what happens to the Crazy? As first reported in the Diamondback (Maryland’s student newspaper) Friday, and circulated around Internet message boards Thursday, the Duke students were fooled. The cheer sheet for the Maryland-Duke basketball game claimed that Terp Nik CanerMedley had a girlfriend named Myra and her pet name for him was Piggy. But, as the Diamondback noted, “the information about his girlfriend and her pet name for him was false, planted by a person who wished for the Cameron Crazies to embarrass themselves.” It was clearly seen during the television broadcast; Nik Caner-Medley shooting a free throw and a sign with the word “Piggie” in the background. Why was this falsity planted? If Duke fans had chanted

GAME OF THE WEEK DUKE @ WAKEFOREST In the only top-10 matchup on the week, No. 4 Duke heads to Wake Forest to face the No. 7 Demon Deacons Wednesday at 9 p.m. Both teams suffered setbacks this past week—Duke with a 7566 loss to Maryland and Wake Forest in a 102-101 contest with GeorgiaTech.

attend a team practice and eat free pizza in line for the team’s home game against Duke. “They had posters of the coach and players and a commercial with the slogan,” said Jessica Anaipakos, a freshman at Miami. “It’s working. No one went to the first three games, but now everyone goes.” Attendance at men’s basketball games this year has averaged about 3,600 people per game, up more than 1,000 from last year. Additionally, the program sold its highest number of season tickets ever this season. “The numbers play out to show that the ACC has had a great impact on our program,” Bjork said. At Virginia Tech, the athletic department has tried to use the school’s football success to enhance support for the basketball program. “We’re working real hard to try to be a school where basketball is as important as a sport like football is for us,” said Tim East, assistant director of athletics for marketing and promotions at Virginia Tech. To do so, the Hokies’ marketing and promotions department developed a basketball highlight video set to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” The song is also featured in a video that is played prior to Virginia Tech football games to invigorate fans. “Whenever students hear that they kind of go crazy, like the Cameron Crazies do on a regular basis,” East said.

After a strong start in its first season in the ACC, Miami has boosted attendance at the Convocation Center by 1,000fans per game to an average attendance of3,600 people. The video debuted at the team’s game against Virginia

Jan. 27.

For the first time in school history, the 1,400 season tickets reserved for students were sold out. In addition a new lottery system has helped in distributing the 2,900 individual game tickets for which members of the 25,000-person student body were vying. Next season, Boston College will join the ACC as the 12th member of the conference. The

Eagle’s sports marketing department is expecting fan turnouts

similar to those of the Hurricanes and the Hokies. “Everyone up here is looking forward to it,” said Barry McNulty, general manager at Eagle Sports Marketing. “We’re still going to have to let people know [about the games], but the last time Duke came here it was crazy. Any time teams like North Carolina or Wake Forest come, it’s going to be a tough ticket.”

BCS from page 9

UNC from page 9 class and have prepared themselves by facing top competition, including No. 7 Nebraska, No. 11 Missouri and No. 23 Navy. Duke, meanwhile, lost two of last season’s top wrestlers to injury and academic ineligibility and has faced much weaker competition over the course of the season. Duke and North Carolina have competed in die same tournament twice this season, and each time the Tar Heels have placed higher. At Dec. 17’s Beast of the East, UNC finished second as a team, while Duke placed eighth. At the Southern Scuffle, Dec. 29 and 30, UNC took ninth to Duke’s 20th-place finish. “It can be tough psychologically to face a team that has consistently placed higher than you,” Anderson said. “I just hope that our guys can have the confidence to know that they can win and that they can compete against this team.” North Carolina is favored in almost all of the 10 weight classes. One of the night’s key individual matches will take place in the 133-pound weight class, where Duke’s Bryan Gibson will face No. 9 Evan Sola, a former All-American who returned to the team after redshirting last season. Gibson will need to win or at least keep the match close for Duke to have a chance. “I just have to go out there and wresde like I would against anyone else,” Gibson said. “I am just going to wresde a full seven minutes, stay mentally and physically on the mat, and hopefully I can break the man.” The Tar Heels, who were one of the pre-season favorites to win the ACC, lost a tough bout with N.C. State Jan. 28. They need a win against Duke in order to keep their ACC Championship hopes alive. Duke, meanwhile, is an obvious underdog, and a win would be simply be a step forward for a program trying to make a name for itself.

After beating the Tar Heels last season, Duke faces a tough match tonight in Cameron IndoorStadium. “This match is incredibly important for the ACC standings,” Anderson said. “They are kind ofreeling after a sour loss, so hopefully we can use that to help us.” Duke has been dealing with injuries and sickness for most of the season, both of which will likely play a role again tonight. Two wresders, 149-pounder Wesley Kuser and 184-pound captain Frank Comely, sat out of Duke’s three matches last Saturday with the flu, and 125pounder Kellan McKeon wresded sick. But all three should be in the lineup tonight and Anderson is not using the team’s bad luck as an excuse. “We’ve been through a tough stretch,” Anderson said. “Hopefully this just makes us tougher, having to deal with the adversity.”

Duke’s ambassadors misbehaved Speaking as a resident of one of the neighborhoods surrounding East Campus—one that has seen many examples of senior and underclass student activity near East Campus related to Duke students being the ambassador and the face of Duke University to the general public—l am truly astounded by the recent addition of the Duke student to public perception of “The Duke Image,” as indicated by the recent “Old School, Duke Babe Baby Oil Wrestling” party bash on Buchanan Street. The image of Duke University as that of “The Old School Wrestling Duke Babe Baby Oil Party Palace,” as recently indicated by numerous national media reports, is indeed an interesting addition to the “Duke Image,” and I am sure those media reports were reviewed with great interest by the parents offemale Duke students. I know that if I had a daughter attending Duke and I thought my daughter was possi-

bly attending Duke student extra-curricular socials such as baby oil wrestling matches, I would not be amused at the situation overall and especially at the University’s administration. There are many adaptations to take advantage of such “slick” type media exposure of Duke student activity like this that could be considered. I would think that the “Cameron Crazies” chants during Duke University basketball home games could incorporate such additions as “Hey, hey that’s OK, we party in baby oil all night and day,” and that incorporation would be a valuable addition to the “Duke Image.” I am certain that the creative student minds at Duke could come up with many more inventive utilizations of baby oil and Duke student activity. David Bowden

Provost deserves high praise I want to publicly thank the Office of the Provost and- Provost Peter Lange for the funds that have been designated to subsidize student ticket prices to Duke performances during the 2004-2005 calendar. I am a faithful patron of the arts but my attendance thisyear has definitely been increased by at least 50 percent because I have been able to afford to go to such great concerts as The Moscow Philharmonic. I have purchased tickets for a series of concerts this spring and look forward to every one. I gratefully thank Provost Lange for making attendance to these events possible on a student budget. I hope the subsidized ticket prices have had the desired effect to improve the status of arts and culture activities at the University.

I also hope the fund has been successful enough that Provost Lange will consider renewing it next year to continue this wonderful opportunity for students to attend almost any event for only $5. For any of you students who have not taken advantage of this great opportunity, it’s not too late! There are still many amazing events coming to campus in the next several months which you can attend for the mere sum of $5. These include the great violinist Joshua Bell, Alban Elved Dance Company and Bobby McFerrin, to name only a few. Hope to see you there! Ariana Sutton-Grier Grad ’O9

We can dance

wewant to

the Ben Folds concert last Thursday, I spent much more time watching my fellow Duke students than Ben Folds himself. The reason? I was fascinated with one aspect ofDuke students’ lives that apparendy no one here seems to notice: We cannot dance. It’s really quite mesmerizing. As Benny boy played his “piano rock” (what a horrible name) with his driving beats, almost everyone in Page was bouncing up and down in a terribly arrhythmic fashion. Many people were moving their heads in such away that made them resemble drunken pigeons. Many others were gyrating their lower torsos so off-beat that it looked more like an alligator was biting at their crotch than actual dancing. The rest were simply using their knees to move themselves up and down, but, unsurprisingly, at the completely wrong tempo. Now, don’t get me wrong, some people here can dance. But it’s basically just the step teams and a 5 few assorted other people. The rest of us are so bad that it’s actually quite funny. If you don’t believe me, I invite all ofyou to go IH3tt QGdrbom to Parizade or Shooters or unreal city Bully’s and watch. You’ll get a good laugh, unless you’re one of the people dancing. And in that case, you’ll get laughed at. It’s a win-win situation. I sat back and began to wonder why we suck so badly at dancing. Then it hit me. Remember last Thursday, the same day as Ben Folds, that huge 20-foot dancing blue thing that was right at the bus stop? And, what most of you probably don’t remember is that right across the way, in front of the Allen Building and Perkins, there was a pathetic attempt of a protest that was happening. I realize that the cars were in the way and that most people couldn’t read the messages written on the cloth, but did anyone noticed it? And if you did, did you pay attention? If yes, bravo. If not, why? Because you were probably paying attention to and, like the girl sitting next to me on the bus, talking about that “weird ugly blue thing.” It’s not your fault, though. You’re the victim. It’s probably just because you just don’t care about things like people protesting or the problems in the world. Think about the PSM. Remember that? Well, the protests were pathetic. Oh wait, you probably didn’t go. See, the vast majority of Duke students—yourself probably included—were in their rooms sleeping off hangovers. The reason we don’t care is that we’re not supposed to. We forget too often that we go to a top-tier university. We’re America’s future businessmen, lawyers, doctors and CEOs. And all most of us ever think about is getting rich, joining the yacht club (there was a Yacht Club Party, remember?), getting married, having kids and then having an adulterous affair with our secretary, nurse, maid or pool boy. That’s why we don’t care about poor people being oppressed. That’s why we suck at dancing. We’re just not cut out for it. You don’t see Donald Trump boogying and bouncing around to Snoop Dogg, do you? The strange thing about Duke students and dancing, though, is that even though we’re so bad at it, we still try. I guess the only reason for this is because we’re still lost in the high school lie that we’re cool. In reality, we’re all dorks here at our oh, so prestigious university. If we weren’t, we’d be going to State or Carolina or ASU. That’s one huge thing about ourselves that we need to realize. We must accept our dorkiness and stop trying to dance. We stopped caring about world issues, so how hard can it be? Frat boys, sorority girls, you’re no cooler than that dude who studies orgo even after he finished the class with an A+. Scary though, huh? So the next time you’re thinking about dancing, don’t. Just realize that you look stupid. You look like you’re being bitten in the crotch. Donald Trump doesn’t dance. Neither does Bill Gates. You’re going to join a yacht club one day. Yacht club members don’t dance. They’re crotchety old upper-crest WASPS. That’s going to be you. You can’t dance. You’re not cool. Sorry. .
