THE CHRONICLE

While other graduate students eagerly await the arrival of offers from lucrative investment banks or renowned hospitals, first-year public policy graduate student Joe Ingemi dreads opening his mailbox. A letter may come that forces him to leave the University and return to active military duty. Ingemi was committed to

eight years of mandatory service obligation after he graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1997. His duties expire this spring, but he has been stoplossed—prohibited from leaving the Army even after his has fulfilled his commitments. About six weeks ago he received a letter that mandated two more years ofactive service. He said he does not wish to

be an active member of the Army again and is now petitioning for an exemption from service. “I don’t know when I will hear back,” said Ingemi, a captain in the Army when he left active duty in 2003. “I’m in limbo.” Ingemi said he is frustrated because he has already fulfilled his service in the Army SEE

will step down as director of the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy June 30, he announced in a memo to colleagues Monday. Stretched by the demands of administrating, teaching and advising on global and national policy, Jentleson will turn his focus to a new two-book deal and two high-profile think tanks while remaining on the faculty as a fulltime professor. ‘You have this push and the pull: you really want to help build institutions, but you’ve got a real opportunity,” said Jentleson, who also serves as professor of public policy and political science. “And as someone who’s also been involved in the policy debate, I feel we’re at one of those critical junctures as a country.” As a culminating move following five-plus years as director, Jendeson also announced the creation of a task force to examine a potential upgrade from an institute to a School ofPublic Policy. “We’ve been thinking about that for several months, and that task force will be put in place relatively soon,” Provost Peter Lange said, adding that the task force should report back to him and President Richard Brodhead by the end of the summer on the

Panel discussion focuses on community, diversity Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

Seated within a fully constructed kitchen set on the stage at the Griffith Film Theater Monday afternoon, five people staged a casual conversation about community. The multi-generational and multi-ethnic panelists quipped about everything from 1950 radio to evolving notions of diversity. The discussion, sponsored by the Samuel Dußois Cook Society, focused on the ironies of fostering communities while still promoting diversity. President Richard Brodhead and Johnnetta Cole, president of the historically black Bennett College for Women, recalled an era when universities were closed communities that did not admit minority students. Pointing out the value of being surrounded by people with multiple backgrounds, they spoke of how admitting black students in the wake of the Civil Rights

Movement enriched academic inquiry. “That turned out to be more educational and more fun at the same time,” Brodhead said. “You don’t want to assemble a community that’s only diverse on paper.” In fostering interaction among racial groups, universities could look to the struggles of previous generations to learn which questions to ask and when to provoke people beyond their comfort areas. With agreement from the other participants, Brodhead noted that although schools cannot structure such interaction, they have a responsibility to encourage it. “I guess I do not believe in values-neutral universities,” he said. “Some form of moral education is at the heart of a serious institution.” “If we cannot identify some decent human values than we are in serious trouble as a University,” agreed Cole, who was later TOM MENDEUTHE

ion wor Idandnat Israelis, Palestinians to declare cease-fire by

Salah Nasrawi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt Israeli and Palestinian leaders said they will declare a formal end to more than four years of fighting during a summit Tuesday in this Egyptian resort—a breakthrough in Mideast peacemaking that comes after both sides also accepted invitations to meet separately with President George W. Bush at the White House. The cease-fire deal, finalized during lastminute preparations Monday on the eve of the summit, was the clearest indication yet of momentum following Yasser Arafat's death, the election of a new Palestinian

leader and a signal from the White House that it plans a renewed push for peace. “The most important thing at the summit will be a mutual declaration ofcessation of violence against each other,” said Saeb Erekat, a Palestinian negotiator. Erekat said the agreement also includes the establishment of joint committees—one to determine criteria for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, and the other to oversee the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Palestinian cities on the West Bank. An Israeli government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the cease-fire agreement and said it would also

include an end to Palestinian incitement to violence, such as official Palestinian TV and radio broadcasts that glorify suicide bombers and other attackers. Palestinian leader MahmoudAbbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will attend the summit Tuesday in this Egyptian beach resort, along with Jordan's King Abdullah II and the host, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. It will be the first meeting of the Israeli and Palestinian leaders since Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, succeeded Arafat after his death on Nov. 11.

Bush's budget would cut programs by

Martin Crutsinger

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Bush sent WASHINGTON trillion budget plan Mon$2.57 a Congress day that would boost spending on the military and homeland security but seeks spending cuts across a wide swath of other government programs. Bush’s budget wouldreduce subsidies paid to farmers, cut health programs for poor people and veterans and trim spending on the environment and education. “It is a budget that sets priorities,” Bush said after a meeting with his Cabinet. “It’s a budget that reduces and eliminates redun-

dancy. It’s a budget that’s a lean budget.” Bush acknowledged that it would be difficult to eliminate popular programs but he said programs must prove their worth. “I look forward to explaining to the American people why we made some of the requests that we made in our budget,” the president told reporters. Joshua Bolten, Bush’s budget director, said, “Are we going to get everything we asked for? No.” But he predicted Congress would likely accept the administration’s broad priorities. He said he entered the upcoming congressional budget battle with a “happy spirit.”

Democrats immediately branded the budget a “hoax” because it left out the huge future costs for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and did not include the billions of dollars that will be needed for Bush’s No. 1 domestic priority, overhauling Social Security. Bolten said the administration would soon be coming forward with a supplemental request for an additional $Bl billion for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said that request was reflected in the overall spending projections in Bush’s budget

THE CHRONICLE

Durham Mayor Bill Bell delivered, his annual State of the City address Monday night in the City Hall chamber. He focused on the year’s positive developments in a number of areas but warned that increased violent crimes and problems with the housing authority were “the not-sogood news.” Bell cited improvements in Durham’s economy and image, the revitalization and development of its downtown district and its neighborhoods, and the city’s stable financial status as highlights of 2004. Bell also noted that Durham’s tax base has grown 3 percent since 2003, that construction permits increased by 25 percent in 2004 and that sales tax revenues grew by nearly 9 percent since 2003. But Bell did not paint a perfectly rosy picture of the city. He acknowledged that crime is “perhaps the single most frustrating issue facing Durham.” In 2004, the city saw the highest incidence of homicides in five years. Still, Bell emphasized that the city had made strides toward enhancing its crimefighting resources. He pointed to the fact that the Durham Police Department’s clearance rate on crimes has vastly improved since 2000 and that the DPD has solved all but two of the homicides that occurred in Durham last year. “It takes all of us working together to find solutions to this problem [of crime],” Bell said. “It is not a problem simply to be laid at the door of law enforcement. It really takes all of us.” Bell said that curtailing gang violence would continue to be a priority of his administration and pointed to the need for more community outreach programs to combat the problem. Furthermore, Bell noted that the ma-

Recognized for his expertise in basic research and clinical treatment for pediatric infectious diseases, St. Geme, selected after a year-long search, will replace Dr. Michael Frank, who decided to step down from the post in late 2003. Dr. Dennis Clement has been serving as the interim chair of the department during the search process and was also considered for the position. St. Geme was initially approached by the search committee in August 2004. “I am thrilled to be joining the esteemed academic community at Duke, and I look forward to contributing to the tradition of excellence in patient care, teaching and research that have characterized the Duke Department of Pediatrics for a long time,” St. Geme said in a statement. St. Geme will oversee clinical activities and research in the Department of Pediatrics, an area of DUMC that has been controversial over the past few years.

Detainees claim false confessions to halt abuse by Paisley Dodds THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nearly a dozen detainees at the GuanBay prison camp contend they were wrongly imprisoned after repeated abuse by U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including beatings with chains, electric shock and sodomy, their lawyer said Monday. “These are classic stories of men who ended up in Guantanamo by mistake,” charged attorney Tom Wilner, who represents 11 Kuwaiti prisoners held in the detention center at the U.S. Navy base in eastern Cuba. Most of his clients say they falsely confessed to belonging to Afghanistan’s ousted Taliban regime or the al-Qaida terror network as away to stop the abuse, Wilner said. He said one is too angry over his treatment to discuss details ofhis case, but all argue their detentions are unjustified. Human rights groups and defense lawyers have long charged that some information used as the basis for incarcerations at Guantanamo Bay resulted from abuse or torture. Many of the 545 prisoners there have been held for more than three years, most without charge. About 150 have been let go, but officials have not given explanations for theirrelease. The government has denied using torture tactics, but multiple investigations into abuse at detention camps in Afghanistan and Guantanamo are under way. It is not clear whether some of the tanamo

men’s statements could be dismissed if investigators confirm there was abuse during interrogations. Maj. Michael Shavers, a Pentagon spokesperson, said all “credible” abuse allegations are investigated, but he suggested the Kuwaitis’ claims were consistent with al-Qaida tactics to falsely allege abuse or mistreatment. “That these detainees are now making allegations of abuse seems to fit the standard operating procedure in al-Qaida training manuals,” Shavers said in response to questions from The Associated Press about the Kuwaitis’ accusations. Although most of 11 Kuwaitis say physical abuse stopped once they arrived at Guantanamo, all complain of mistreatment, such as being locked in cells with scant reading materials and little information on the outside world, Wilner said in a conference call from Washington to discuss recently declassified notes on his meetings with the detainees. “At Guantanamo, the physical abuse—at least for Kuwaitis—has stopped, but there has been a switch to mental torture,” he said. Wilner and other lawyers representing the Kuwaitis were allowed to interview the prisoners for the first time in December and January, after the Supreme Court ruled in June that foreigners detained as enemy combatants at Guantanamo could DEAN LEWINS/AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE

Va. Senate passes gay marriage amendment by

Bob Lewis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RICHMOND, Va. A measure that would write a ban on same-sex marriage into Virginia’s constitution won overwhelming Senate passage Monday over passionate objections from opponents who likened it to Nazis’ treatment of Jews. The proposed amendment won final Senate passage 30-10. A similar bill is due in the House ofDelegates on a similar measure Tuesday, the deadline for the House to act on its own

legislation and send it to the Senate In a related action, the House voted 7124 to pass a bill that would make it difficult for same sex couples to adopt children. Sens. Mamie Locke and Janet Howell said the measure starts Virginia down the same path of curbing individual rights and stigmatizing specific groups that Germany followed in the 19305. “There is nothing ennobling about Senate Joint Resolution 337. It is xenophobia that led to the rise of Nazism in Germany and fascism in Italy. It is homophobia that

brings us to this place in time today,” said Locke, D-Hampton. Howell, D-Fairfax County, said Virginia has begun stigmatizing people according to private behavior just as the Nazis did. Jews, she said, were required in concentration camps to wear yellow patches; political prisoners wore red ones; and homosexuals got pink. “First, there were small infringements on rights, infringements perpetrated by elected representatives [who said] that’s what the people want.

IRAQ from page 1 and now is being asked to go beyond the call of duty. Ingemi also cited personal reasons and his opposition to the current military action in Iraq when discussing his reluctance to return to active service. “I am very much opposed to the tone of our foreign policy,” he said. Ingemi served in various capacities in the Middle East, including the most recent Operation Enduring Freedom in Kuwait in 2001 and 2002. After serving actively for five and a half years, he joined the Individual Ready Reserves, which does not require members to drill on a regular basis. When stationed abroad, Ingemi said he

supported the war in Afghanistan, but he has been against the war in Iraq from the very beginning. Since returning from the Middle East, Ingemi has written op-ed pieces, letters to the editor and worked on political campaigns to express his opposition the current military engagements. Despite these demonstrations, Ingemi said he gained valuable lessons while in the Army. “My military service has always been a source of pride. It’s something that I’ve learned a lot about myself and about management and leadership,” he said. “But this whole situation has turned it into almost a nightmarish scenario. Now I’m almost at this point where I recommend people to not go into the military.” On the other hand, he noted that he is

Add to that Jendeson’s fundraising efforts for Rubenstein Hall, the Institute’s $l2 million second building that is currendy under construction, and he has proven to be one of the University’s most potent leaders in one of its blossoming departments. But after extending his contract an additional six months to ease the transition to other major leaders joining Duke this year, Jendeson —a student favorite for his

course on globalization—was ready to return to teaching and policy engagement. “When you’re a professor and an administrator you always have this balancing act to do,” Jendeson said. “I think in the five-plus years I’ve been director, we’ve accomplished an enormous amount.” With his definitive work, American Foreign Policy: The Dynamics of Choice in the 21st Century, ready for a third edition and a deal for both an academic and commer-

enough new enlistments. “I just can’t see how the military can continue to be stretched this thin for this amount of time. It’s going to come to the point where we’re going to have to pull back some of our commitments or look at expanding the draft in some way,” Ingemi said. “There are just not enough warm bodies to go around.” Despite the diminishing number of recruits, Ingemi knows he does not want to serve again. “This is a volunteer army, and I took the initiative to de-volunteer,” he said. He said he recognizes that his critics will accuse him of neglecting his responsibility to the Army. But he believes the stop-loss procedures, though legal, are

dal release in the works, Jentleson plans to return to research and writing as he continues his appointment with the University. He will also be travelling to Mexico, India and South Africa as he steps up efforts with the Washington-based foreign policy think tank The Brookings Institute. Jentleson is also involved with a top group of “intellectual internationalists” and former foreign policy officials in the Democratic Party working together to strengthen the party’s suddenly tenuous situation. In addition to leading Sanford from 19th to 10th place in the most recent U.S. News and World Report ranking of public affairs programs, Jentleson served as a seniorforeign policy advisor for A1 Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign. He also served as an advisor to the director of the State Department Policy Planning staff in 199394 and as director of the University ofCalifornia at Davis’ Washington Center before arriving at Duke. “We asked him to continue [as Sanford director], but we’re fully understanding why he’s chosen not too. His full-time participation in the faculty will be a great asset,” said Lange, whose office is consulting within the Sanford Institute regarding a replacement. Lange said a replacement would probably come from inside the University, at least in the short term.

unfair and wrong. After completing his active duty, Ingemi said he never imagined he would be called back. “When I got out [of active duty], I asked the woman who was processing my paperwork, ‘What are the odds of getting called up?’ She said, ‘l’ve been working here for 25 years, and I’ve never seen the IRR get called up,”’ he said. “That was at the end of 2002, and now a lot of people are getting called up.” Ingemi said he is not thinking about what he will do if his request for exemption from service is denied. “There is an appeals process, but I haven’t been thinking that far into the future yet,” he says. “I’m not optimisdc, I’m just waiting.”

COOK from page 1 honored with the Cook Society distinguished service award. Junior Vivian Wang noted the resistance students have to probing their value systems—particularly when it involves racial or socio-economic differences. “Students don’t feel compelled to have to know certain things. A certain kind of ignorance doesn’t have consequences,” she said. Part of the issue, Cole noted, is that when different groups interact, someone has the “power to include.” Invitations often set up unequal relationships, panelists said. Lee Baker, associate professor of cultural anthropology, reminded the panelists about how diversity extends far beyond race and must be considered as such —an idea met by echoes of agreement. “It’s just a wonderful liberation to define diversity beyond skin color—to then start looking at each other as individuals,” said Rebecca Reyes, coordinator of the Latino Health Project. The Cook Society also honored Dr. Sandy Williams, dean of the School ofMedicine; Bradley Simmons, director of the Duke Djembe and Afro-Cuban Ensembles; Judith White, assistant vice president for campus services; senior Julie Hamilton; junior Venis Wilder; and medical school and Fuqua School ofBusiness student Staci Arnold.

His invitations to both sides to separate talks this spring seemed a clear signal he plans a stepped-up peacemaking effort in his second term. “What you're watching is a process unfolding where people are becoming more trustworthy,” the president said. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, ending two days of pre-summit talks in Israel and the West Bank, called it “a time of hope, a time we can hope for a better day for the Palestinian and Israeli people both.” Bush —who had refused to meet with Arafat—said he was impressed by Abbas’ commitment to fighting terror. “Prime Minister Abbas comes to the table with a mandate from a lot ofPalestinians,” Bush told reporters at the end of a Cabinet meeting, unintentionally misstating the Palestinian leader's job title. “He has been through an election. He has been endorsed by the Palestinian people.” Abbas, who is president of the Palestinian Authority, said he hoped the summit would open die way for furdier Israeli-Palestinian negotiations aimed at implementing the internationally backed “road map” to peace.

“Two weeks ago, we announced a cease-fire. Since then, we have been in extensive talks with the Israeli side over many issues.

Significant steps have been taken since Arafat's death to reconcile Israel's primary concern of security with Arabs’ main objective ofgetting the “road map” on the fast track. Abbas has deployed police to keep the peace in Gaza, ordered arrests of some operatives and appears to have won pledges from militants to halt attacks on Israel. However, a Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip said the radical Islamic group, which has been responsible for hundreds of attacks against Israelis during the past four years, would evaluate the summit before committing itself to halting its campaign of violence. “We agreed before with MahmoudAbbas that if he succeeds to achieve our national goals he should come back to the Palestinian factions to discuss the issue and after that we will decide our stand,” Mahmoud Zahar said.

BUDGET from page 2 for the current year and into 2006. He said including further additional spending for Iraq and Afghanistan “wouldn’t be responsible” because it would represent guesses on what will be needed. Bolten also said that even if transition costs for Social Security had been included, the president would still be able to meet his goal of cutting the deficit in half by 2009 as a percentage of the total economy. The budget would eliminate or vastly scale back 150 government programs. It will spark months of. contentious debate in Congress, where lawmakers will fight to protect their favored programs. House Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California called Bush’s budget “a hoax on the American people. The two issues that dominated the president’s State of the Union address—lraq and Social Security are nowhere to be found in this budget.” The spending document projects that the deficit will hit a record $427 billion this year, the third straight year that die red ink in dollar terms has set a record. Bush projects that the deficit will fall to $390 billion in 2006 and gradually decline to $233 billion in 2009 and $207 billion in 2010. —

where gay marriages are legal such as Massachu-

Sen. Kenneth Cuccinelli, R-Fairfax County, said that homosexual activity for most of Virginia’s history was illegal “until the U.S. Supreme Court decided that it wasn’t appropriate.” Cuccinelli denounced what he called “the tyranny of judges” and said Newman’s constitutional amendment is necessary “to protect itself from the invasion of federal judges.” Sen. Richard Saslaw, who opposes gay marriage but objects to provisions in Newman’s bill that would leave gay couples unable to enter into civil unions or even contracts approximating some prerogatives of marriage, cited Virginia’s own recent past in rebutting Cuccinelli. “I wouldremind everybody in here that marriage between a black and a white in this state was illegal, too, 40 years ago,” said Saslaw, D-Fairfax County. If Newman’s proposed amendment only banned same-sex marriage, Saslaw said he would support it. “But what you’re doing is just nothing other than a classic case of piling on, and I won’t be a part of it, which is why I’m voting no.” Newman countered that 40 years from now, marriage between two people of the same sex will be forbidden, just as it was 3,000 years ago. His measure resembles a constitutional amendment voters in Ohio approved last fall. Ohio and 10 other states ratified same-sex constitutional bans in November. Gay rights groups and other groups that have lobbied against the bills say the measure is unfair, ineffective and antibusiness. Witnesses have testified that such legislation is driving skilled and highly educated gay people out of Virginia, and businesses find it hard to retain gay employees. The measure is expected to pass by an equally lopsided ratio Tuesday in the more conservative House. Del. Richard Black’s adoption bill requires that state investigations of couples who have applied to adopt children include whether the petitioners are practicing homosexuals. Del. J. Chapman Petersen, D-Fairfax, argued that the measure was superfluous because the law already requires wide-ranging investigations into the fitness of would-be adoptive parents. Most of the debate on the bill came Saturday, when legislative opponents ridiculed the measure in asking how investigators would verify gay sexual relationships. Del. Robert Brink asked whether agents would examine petitioners’ music collections for show tunes or their fondness for the Village People’s 1970 hit song, “YMCA,” a tune widely considered a gay anthem.

challenge their imprisonment. Wilner last visited his clients Jan. 10-13. Lawyers are required to surrender attorney-client notes before leaving the U.S. base. The notes are sealed and sent to a secure facility in Arlington, Va., where attbrneys must request for them to be reviewed and unclassified. The lawyers must also get government permission to speak about their conversations with the detainees. Some of Wilner’s clients range from a young man who is accused of being Osama bin Laden’s spiritual adviser to a low-level member of the Taliban. None has been charged. One detainee, according to Wilner’s notes, said: “The American soldiers kept saying, ‘Are you Taliban or are you al-Qaida?’ ‘Are you Taliban or al-Qaida!’ They kept hitting me, so eventually I said I was a member of the Taliban.” The detainees did not want to be identified by name.

Another Kuwaiti told Wilner he was held by U.S. troops in Afghanistan at bases in Bagram and Kandahar where he was hooded, tied with chains, hung by his wrists and stripped in front of female guards. He also said his interrogator forced him to sign a statement, but Wilner said the government has not provided him with any statement. One Kuwaiti said he was sure he would be killed, Wilner’s notes said. Another Kuwaiti described how he confessed after having metal paddles placed under his arms and shocked in Afghanistan. Another said he was beaten so badly his ribs were broken. Some said they were beaten with chains. One said U.S. troops in Afghanistan pulled down his pants and sodomized him with an object. “One of the saddest things is these people looked up to Americans for liberating Kuwait in the ‘9os,” Wilner said. “A lot of them still can’t believe U.S. troops are doing this.”

We want to remind everyone about the bonfire policy we established several years ago, which again govern this year’s activities. The victory celebrations following big games in recent years have been what we have all hoped for, and ones in which the Duke community could take pride. The same rules remain in effect this year and, with your cooperation, we will continue to celebrate our victories safely and enthusiastically. In keeping with this goal, we remind you of some key concerns: The University has obtained City bonfire permits for February 9 (Duke v. UNC), Feb. 20 (Duke v. Wake Forest), April 4 and April 5 (Men and Women’s NCAA National Championship games). Bonfires on any other days will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution. The City Fire Marshall asks that everyone

stay at least 10 feet away from the fire.

Please keep stacked benches to a reasonable height (not more than three) and do not climb on top. The tragedy at Texas A & M a few years ago provides ample evidence why.

If you carry a beverage, please use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad. Do not sit or stand on building roofs. Do not use dorm furniture as fuel for a bonfire. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two

hours following the game. The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited.

The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. Any fires that are started outside of this area will be considered illegal and dealt with at the discretion of the City Fire Marshall and Duke University Police. The City Fire Marshall has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is now a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.

respect Sean Dockery used to be a liability in Duke’s set offense. Blue Devil opponents challenged him to beat them with outside jump shots, and a Dockery three-point attempt was a good defensive stand in years past. When there was an open shot, Dockery would either pass it up or gingerly toss up a scared jumper and pray for the best. The Chicago high school scoring machine hit his occasional transition hoop, but in his first two years at Duke, never found any sort of consistent shooting rhythm. That’s all changed now. Against Georgia Tech, Dockery continued his season-long resurgence from long range with a 2for-2 performance, including one key bomb in the second half. But more important than a couple threes is the attitude Dockery now exudes on the court in the set offense. “He called for the ball,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after his team beat Georgia Tech. “He asked, and then he just shot it and knocked it down. I’m really pleased.” SEE DOCKERY ON PAGE 12

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

At the beginning of the 20042005 season, there was talk of the ACC garnering seven or eight bids to the NCAATournament. As late as New Year’s Day there were seven teams ranked in the top 25, but once conference play started the secondtier ACC teams struggled. Midway through the conference season, only three teams North Carolina, Wake Forest —

and Duke—remain in the Associated Press poll. Coming off a championship game appearance, Georgia Tech was expected to contend for ACC and national crowns. In back-to-back ACC games, the Yellow Jackets were a ramblin’ wreck, losing to a struggling N.C. State team and to league newcomer Virginia Tech at home. Yellow Jackets head coach Paul Hewitt, whose team is currendy sixth in the ACC, does not

believe that parity will diminish the number of tournament bids the league receives. “What you hear from selection committees is that they want you to play a tough schedule, so hopefully they’ll look favorably on that,” Hewitt said. Maryland, like Georgia Tech, has not lived up to its preseason hype. N.C. State crushed the Terrapins in College Park, and the SEE ACC ON PAGE 10

Mike Krzyzewski has joined a new basketball team. The Duke head coach is one of 27 college basketball figures involved in the College Basketball Partnership, a new NCAA panel aiming to “address the challenges and opportunities” that face men’s college basketball, NCAA President Myles Brand said. The panel is facing issues that include recruiting, respect for opponents, fan behavior, sportsmanship and the balance between academics and athletics, said Dave Gavitt, chair emeritus of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. “We’ve been working behind the scenes for several months,” Brand said at a press conference in December. “People need to know that we’re there as a team. This team is going to make a difference.” Many of the frustrations with the college game were exposed at the end of last season when a record 94 players initially declared early for the NBA draft, foregoing one or more years of

college eligibility. Krzyzewski lost freshmanLuol

Sean Dockery has improved his offensive game, especially his three-point shooting, this season.

Without the nation’s top golfer, the Blue Devils opened their spring season in a position to pick up where they left off in the fall. Duke sits in second place, four strokes behind leader UCLA, at the Northrup Grumman Regional Challenge in Palos Verde, Calif. The women’s team is in search of its sixth consecutive tournament victory but is competing with just four golfers as junior and reigning Player of the Year Liz Janangelo recovers from pneumonia. “They only count four,” head

coach Dan Brooks said. “We have a lot of talent, and we wouldn’t be in this situation if I didn’t have a lot of faith and belief in every single one of them.” The Blue Devils posted a 9over-par 293 in the opening 18 holes of the tbree-day tournament.

Sophomore Brittany Lang’s three-under-par put her in the

first-round lead. After bogeying the par-4 opening hole, Lang played mistake-free golf the rest of the day, including back-toback birdies on the fifth and sixth holes. SEE W. GOLF ON PAGE 12

So, the question the NCAA selection committee must answer is whether a 7-9 team in the ACC with a good RPI deserves a bid. Typically, an 8-8 record in the ACC is a lock for the tournament.

COACHES from page 9 the No. 7 pick and immediately traded him the Chicago Bulls. One of the topics being discussed is the date when players must declare for the draft. Many coaches, including Krzyzewski, have said an earlier date, possibly right after the Final Four, should be set so that programs have time to adjust their spring recruiting strategies. The problem was further exacerbated for the Blue Devils when commitment Shaun Livingston made the jump from high school to the NBA and the Los .Angeles Clippers selected him with the No. 4 pick last spring. Livingston’s late decision left Duke undermanned at the point guard position. “We, whether it is a high school or college coach, are restricted in our access to youngsters,” Krzyzewski said in June after he realized Deng and Livingston would go to the NBA. “If they’re around the Knicks, the Lakers, the Celtics, the Bulls and they see these logos and people all the time. Those people are actually allowed to talk to the AAU coaches, sit with the parents in the stands and do all those things, whereas this college coach isn’t in the stands for the last two months.” Krzyzewski said coaches have been limited in access duringrecruiting because of a mistrust that began between coaches and administrators in the early 19905.

sponse to NCAA, rules violations of academic fraud and improper benefits. Among the documents was the final exam for men’s basketball assistant coach Jim Harrick, Jr.’s 2001 “Coaching Principles and Strategies ofBasketball” class. The 20-question exam included, “How many points does a 3-point field goal account for in a basketball game?” and “In your opinion, who is the best Division I assistant coach in the country?” Harrick gave every student an “A” for the course. Although the College Basketball Partnership has discussed ethical issues, Krzyzewski said he does not believe it should serve as any sort of governing body. He still believes that it is the NCAA’s responsibility to investigate potential infractions and enforce punishment. Nevertheless, the committee has the opportunity to discuss how to improve communication between coaches and administrators in an attempt to eliminate these problems. The committee had met twice before it was formally announced Dec. 15 and has its next scheduled meeting in St. Louis during the 2005 Final Four. For the Duke coach, the committee creates a “unity of purpose” that the game—and its student-athletes—deserve. “I look at it as a team,” Krzyzewski said. “Our game needs for everyone to be on the same team.... These meetings will lead to action, which I think will give our game unity, a unified voice, a unified commitment.”

Dockery shot 12 percent from three-point

“It was ordinary for Brittany; she has a very dominating type of game,” Brooks said. “Her game is well suited for this course. The greens are small and you have to be able to spin your short shots. She can make the ball dance on the greens, and she didn’t even putt well. If she had made any putts, she would have gone real low.” Brooks said he was impressed with his team’s play considering Duke was not used to the fast greens and hilly conditions. In addition, the Palos Verdes Golf Club is one of the home courses for UCLA, and Brooks recognizes that it may take the next two days to adjust. Senior Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh was inconsistent and finished the day two over par, but that was good enough for Duke’s second best score and seventh overall. She was two under through five holes but then double-bogeyed the par-5 seventh. She had another double on the back nine and finished the day with six birdies and four bogeys. “Niloufar is playing well,” Brooks said. “She has a tremendous tempo and just keeps everything under control. She got nailed on a couple of holes today, which led to double-bogeys, but for the majority of the round she played great.” The Blue Devils’ other two golfers, sophomore Anna Grzebien and freshman Jennifer Pandolfi, shot four-over and sixover-par, respectively. After nine Grzebien was just one-over par, but on the final four holes she recorded three bogeys and a birdie. Grzebien is suffering from a wrist injury that is affecting her short shots, Brooks said. After the first nine holes, the Blue Devils were at even par as a team, but they struggled on the back nine, shooting 9-over.

range last year. Twelve percent is bad for your average 10-year old shooting to win a rubber basketball prize at an amusement park. Teams playing Duke would allow Dockery to catch the ball with his toes on the three-point line completely unguarded. So, essentially, Dockery shot abysmally from behind the arc last season, even though almost every attempt was uncontested. But work in the off-season has paid dividends for Dockery, and he has nearly tripled his three-point shooting percentage this year. He has also converted on 52 percent of his shots from the field and 72 percent of his attempts from the freethrow line on his way to an efficient seven points per game. The turnaround couldn’t have come at a better time for Dockery. He spent his first two seasons at Duke as a very highprofile recruit who never looked like Coach K’s next point guard. Krzyzewski has always applauded Dockery’s on-the-ball defense, and as the sixth man last season, Dockery almost always gave the team a spark. Even when he was at his worst offensively, Krzyzewski gave him significant minutes because of his presence and attitude on defense. But last year, Dockery was even considering transferring when Michael Thompson bolted for more playing time at Northwestern. When highly-touted point guard Shaun Livingston committed to Duke and continued to put up big numbers for his high school team, Dockery’s future role became even more uncertain. Livingston ultimately chose to go professional, leaving the door open for Dockery.

The Duke/bin Laden connection

would like to preface this column with the following: As a left-leaning independent who proudly thinks for himself, I personally hold Michael Moore in the utmost contempt. His one-sided look at the world does little to promote legitimate political discourse and only serves to further partisan bickering. That being said, however, he would (quite legitimately) have a field day investigating one of the latest additions to the Duke Board of Trustees. Recently, four alumni were nominated by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association to serve on the University’s Board ofTrustees for six-year terms, all of whom will take office on July 1. One of these new trustees is David Rubenstein, co-founder of the D.C.-based Carlyle Group. For those who don’t know, the Carlyle Group was famously featured in Michael Moore’s recent documentary Fahrenheit 911. It was portrayed as a massive multinational conglomerate that is heavily invested in defense contractors and other industries that are closely tied to the U.S. government. Moore identified members of the bin Laden family and the Saudi royal family as some of Carlyle’s biggest investors and used the Bush family’s dealings with Carlyle to connect the Bushes to them Given the varied acollSntt WOIT w/nlf eillOll counts of the malignancy of The Carlyle Group, its true transparency nature prol somewhere in between Moore’s conspiracy theories and the Alumni Association’s suspiciously short description of Carlyle as “one of the world’s largest private equity firms.” And despite the disagreement about just how “evil” Carlyle is, one fact has been established: the connections between Carlyle, the Saudis and the bin Ladens are real. And so, at least by Michael Moore’s comparatively low journalistic standards, Duke now has a material connection to the bin Ladens and the Saudi government. May God have mercy on our souls. While this is clearly an overstatement of the situation, there can be no doubt that the ascension ofRubenstein to Duke’s highest governing body is an extraordinarily significant event that carries with it numerous implications. Rubenstein, who The Washington Post recently called “the public face ofThe Carlyle Group,” will hold an extremely influential position within Duke and thereby publicly associate Duke and Carlyle. And in addition to Rubenstein’s nomination as a trustee, it is also important to consider that he made a significant contribution in 2003 to help expand the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. His generous donation of $5 million allowed Duke to begin construction on a new 46,000-squarefoot public policy building that will open before the next academic year and will bear his name. However, given The Carlyle Group’s role in extraordinarily controversial aspects of U.S; foreign and domestic policy, (Carlyle is also heavily invested in the health care industry), questions are raised about how the Sanford Institute itself might be influenced by Rubenstein and about how others may view the connection. The public perception ofThe Carlyle Group is that it is an unscrupulous organization that has significantly profited through dubious transactions with the Saudis, the bin Ladens and the U.S. government. Rubenstein’s contention that “making money is nice, but we’re more worried about our reputation and concerned with ethics” has done little to assuage his critics, and Carlyle is still demonized by a significant portion of the American population. Concerns about Carlyle’s activities and the ongoing debates about divestment bring up a crucial question. If Duke has a stated interest that its investments not contribute to “substantial social injury,” should that criterion not apply to donations as well? Should Duke accept what some consider blood money? Only one’s political beliefs can answer the question of whether Carlyle’s activities have led to “substantial social injury,” and whether it’s appropriate for Rubenstein to assume his appointment as a trustee. The Carlyle Group, however, is here to stay, and the implications of that cannot be ignored. Only after Rubenstein assumes his position can we truly know the full repercussions for Duke. Elliott Wolf is a Pratt freshman. His column appears every other Tuesday.
