ONE HUNDREDTH YEAR, ISSUE 99

REDICK DRAINS WAKE 2 years later, safety still DUHS priority

With new look, Duke avoids 3-game skid by

by

Tuesday marks the two-year anniversary of Jesica Santillan’s death—and the start of a grassroots campaign for patient safety measures within Duke University Health System. As a result of the series of avoidable mistakes that led to Santillan’s death, hospital administrators put into place efforts to change the culture of DUHS. These continuing efforts seek to bring patient safety to the forefront of all minds—from the chancellor to the patients, from the doctors to the janitors. But DUHS, in its quest for a culture of safety, has experienced a series of other setbacks Jn .recent years: Two children were injured in unrelated incidents at Duke University Hospital in the summer of 2003. A patient at Durham Regional Hospital jumped out of a fifthfloor window Aug. 11, 2004. And surgical tools were cleaned in elevator hydraulic fluid at Duke Health Raleigh and Durham Regional Hospital throughout November and December 2004.

Duke called in a few fresh faces at Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday night, but even the new-look WAKE Blue DevDUKE -102 ils know what number to dial in an emergency; four. With 9:11 remaining against fifth-ranked Wake Forest and No. 7 Duke facing the possibility of its first three-game losing streak in nine years, JJ. Redick looked in to Shelden Williams clutching onto the ball, swarmed by Demon Deacons in the post. Then, in one speed-dial punch, Redick caught a pass at the top of the key, drained a three-pointer and felt Wake’s Jamaal Levy clip his hand to foul out. The four-point play sent Redick’s arms in the air and capped a 39-point Blue Devil scoring outburst in the first 11 minutes of the second half. But even with 33 points from No. 4 and the lead stretched to 16, Duke would need all of Redick’s career-high 38 points to finish off its most productive game of the season, 102-92. “I didn’t think the game was over. There were nine minutes left, and I remembered what happened when we played them in Winston-Salem and we came back,” said Redick, whose 11 points in the last two minutes against the Demon Deacons Feb. 2 nearly completed a Blue Devil comeback. “I was just hoping that we could get enough stops and make enough plays to pull it out.” Chris Paul and Trent Strickland brought Wake (22-4, 10-3 in the ACC) to within 11 as the clock passed five minutes, but Lee Melchionni, who finished with 15points on 5-of-6 shooting, nailed a deep three that head coach Mike Krzyzewski called the biggest shot of the game for Duke (194, 94). Melchionni extended the Blue Devils’ lead earlier in the half with seven points in 1:20, after which he took a charge for Justin Gray’s fourth personal and bumped Paul to instigate a

Israeli cabinet approves withdrawal by

Karin Laub

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Prime Minister Ariel JERUSALEM Sharon’s Cabinet began charting Israel’s future borders in a historic session Sunday, giving final approval to a withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and a revised route of the West Bank separation barrier that would encompass at least six percent of land claimed by the Palestinians for a state. With the vote, an Israeli government agreed for the first time since capturing the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Mideast war to dismantle some of the dozens of Jewish settlements it has built there. However, approving the route of the barrier, Israel acted

unilaterally on what was to be a key issue in peace talks with the Palestinians, and signaled it will keep a chunk of prime West Bank land close to Jerusalem, including two large Jewish settlementblocs. The Palestinians balked at Israel’s go-italone approach, but avoided declaring the moves a deal-breaker in a reinvigorated peace process. “Israel is creating facts on the ground in the West Bank,” Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi said. “Sharon wants payback in the West Bank for the disengagement from Gaza, particularly Jerusalem.” The Gaza withdrawal won approval from 17 Cabinet ministers, including eight

from the moderate Labor Party, while five ministers from Sharon’s ruling Likud Party voted against it. Sharon, a former setder patron, said the dismantling of 21 settlements in Gaza and four in the West Bank is vital for Israel’s security. He later signed an order requiring some 9,000 settlers to leave their homes in these areas by July 20 or face removal by force. Israel has taken a step that will be decisive for its future... the right one to ensure Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state,” he told American Jewish SEE ISRAEL ON PAGE 8

derstanding the gist of the writing process, and they leave their first year as seasoned academic writers, able to read carefully and critically to further their own claims—all the while maintaining subject-verb agreement, avoiding comma splices and citing references appropriately. At least that’s the idea. The Writing 20 course is required for all first-year students as a means of developing skills in composition and analysis, but freshmen are questioning the program’s relevance and are concerned about the seemingly unequal distribution of work loads across the individual Writing 20 classes. “Some classes are really easy and write three papers total; some write papers more extensively,” freshman Phil Hardy said. The writing classes are taught by 27 post-doctoral fellows, each of whom teaches within his own field of study and concentrate on different aspects of writing. But some students said this narrow concentration could hinder development. “The professors are very well-versed in subject matter, but in terms of the writing process they’re not very helpful,” freshman Andrew Tran said, speaking from his own experience and information gathered from friends. “Sometimes it’s apples and oranges when it comes to teaching methods,” said Derek Malone-France, a Mellon lecturing fellow who teaches the section on Philosophical Explanations of Religion. “I suppose different students might find different aspects of a course to be challenging or not depending on a student’s own interests and abilities.” JMalone-France’s sentiment strikes a chord with students who said they consider the program to be a waste of time or irrelevant to their futures. “I’m an engineer and I hate writing,” freshman Jorge Suarez said. “If I had to pick to take this class or a math class, I would definitely pick the math.” But Van Hillard, director of the First-

The state Democratic Party’s executive committee elected Fayetteville lawyer Jerry Meek, Trinity ’93, over Raleigh attorney and lobbyist Ed Turlington, Trinity ’79, a veteran party organizer and confidant of former vice presidential candidate John Edwards. Meek’s victory reflected discontent among many county and precinct leaders, inroads by the Republican Party in Democratic strongholds and an apparent generational shift within the party. “I believe that our state party has lost touch with the local party,” the 34-yearold Meek said in his nomination speech before hundreds at the McKimmon Center at North Carolina State University. “I’ll create a party of inclusion where grass-roots workers have a real say, and power isn’t just limited to the Raleigh insiders. And I’ll build a party for the 21st century,” he added. Turlington and Meek waged a spirited campaign to succeed outgoing party chair Barbara Allen, with both candidates arguing they were best suited to get Democrats elected at all levels. The 271-242 vote in favor of Meek originally was scheduled for Jan. 29 but was postponed due to the threat of bad weather. Not all 570 members of the executive committee attended Saturday’s meeting, including Easley.

Students hold charity raffle in friend's memory Bryan Rahija THE CHRONICLE

by

Fourteen months after Duke freshman Sasha Burakow died, students will get a chance to honor one of their peers. A raffle to raise money for the Sasha Burakow Touched By an Angel Memorial Fund begins this week. Ticket sales begin this week and will end March 5. Representatives of the fund will be tabling on the Bryan Center walkway beginning Wednesday. Prizes range from Duke sweatshirts to a “dream night for two,” which includes tickets to a Duke basketball game, a dinner at Cafe Parizade and a night’s stay at the Washington Duke Inn. The fund was started in honor Burakow, who died of a sudden brain aneurysm in December 2003.

Money from the fund will go to the Boredom Busters charity, an organization that gives toys to children awaiting treatment in the hospital. Michael McCauley, 12, and his older brother Matt started the charity to honor Burakow and her work with him. While in high school, Burakow volunteered at Fairfax Hospital for Children in the Washington, D.C., area. It was there that she met Michael McCauley, who had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. The two boys dedicated Boredom Busters to Burakow when she died. “They contacted several organizations and donations just flew in,” said Diane Burakow, Sasha’s mother. “We wanted 50 donations and got around 900.” Junior David Krauss, one of Sasha Burakow’s friends, said he got the idea to

bring Boredom Busters to Duke after he met the Burakow and McCauley families after Burakow died. “I’ll never be the same after going through an experience like that. I wanted to honor Sasha,” he said. “Think of any superlative, and she probably had it.” The fund currently has raised more than $2,000. Krauss said once the fund raises $15,000, it can begin to receive yearly dividends. Krauss said he hopes to reach this goal and begin constructing the Boredom Buster kits by 2006. “We hope to have a major event celebrating Sasha and helping some kids,” he said. Each box Boredom Busters puts together is designed to entertain children awaiting treatment in the hospital. While the boxes contain items that en-

DEMOCRATS from page 3 “He’s the man of the future,” said Larry Jones, the party chair in Wayne County, a historically Democratic area where Republicans have won more in recent years. “The sense is the party needs a change.” Easley and most of the Democratic statewide elected officials had endorsed Turlington. Former Gov. Jim Hunt, who chose Turlington as his 1996 campaign manager, gave a nominating speech. Turlington served as state party executive director in the mid-1980s. He spent three years organizing former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley's bid for the 2000 Democratic presidential nomination. Most recently, he chaired Edwards’ unsuccessful presidential run. Easley, recently elected to a second term, had said Turlington would give North Carolina credibility among national Democrats and push the party toward moderate presidential candidates. Historically, the sitting governor’s choice to become chair has won the post. Easley political adviser Mac McCorkle said Meek’s win might be seen as a slap to the governor—who did not attend Saturday’s meeting—but that the vote was not about Easley. “I think it’s a real loss for the party because Ed was such a good candidate for chairman,” McCorkle said. “He had the experience and the professional expertise

The governor has largely shunned intraparty politics, often choosing to run his own organization. “He’ll have to be careful how he spins it because he doesn't want to pick a fight within the party,” Beyle said. “I think Meek and Easley will have to have a face-to-face discussion to build some trust.”

There’s nothing magical about it.” McCauley said a lot of children are nervous about what happens to their hair after chemotherapy. “We always put a hat in there,” he said. Since Boredom Busters’ inception, the organization has given its kits to approximately 1,200 children. Raffle tickets cost $2. Students will be able to use FLEX points to buy raffle tickets or make a donation. Krauss said he is still accepting donations for prizes in the raffle.

WRITING 20 from page 3 the University, it may not be having the desired effect on students. Senior Rob Liebert said his freshman wridng class was fun but not necessary. “It’s basically a chance to practice writing for the sake of pracdcing writing—you can get the same thing out of taking English classes,” he said. “I don’t think it did a whole lot to improve people’s writing skills.” Whether or not Writing 20 improves students’ skills is currently being evaluated by the ongoing Writing Assessment Project, in which students write a paper at the beginning of the semester and revise it a few months later after they have undergone the necessary “training” in their writing classes. This type of assessment was first introduced in 2003, with teaching processes to be evaluated every other year. The 2003 review had positive results and showed a definite improvement in students’ writing, Hillard said. “I think what’s valuable about the assessment we’re trying to do is that it’s not measuring just mechanical stuff, it’s measuring how people put together arguments. And what we’ve found in the past is that students grow in the way they form their arguments,” said Joe Harris, director of the Center for Teaching, Learning and Writing and an associate professor of English. Though students agree that the levels of work and difficulty vary across classes and professors, they accept this as an inevitable part of Writing 20. “I think it’s definitely not equal, but you can usually tell with course descriptions what you’re getting into,” freshman Steve Brown said. Freshman Dan Fox is taking the Dorm Room Documentaries writing class, which focuses on writing a screenplay and making a film rather than reading articles and writing research papers. Even though the work load includes long meetings Sundays and is about four times as heavy as that of other writing classes, Fox said he enjoys it because he loves film. “If we have to write about the work we did this week on the film, [the professor] is helping us write correctly and express exactly what we mean,” he said. “Just because we’re not writing a thesis and describing how politics is corrupting the media doesn’t mean we’re not

Sometimes the benefit outweighs the cost, and a little bit more work “doesn’t hurt,” Hardy admitted. “I want to be a lawyer, so I think it’s beneficial. If you want to be a doctor, probably not,” he said. “But if you buy into the whole liberal arts thing—reading well and writing well—that’s important.”

In her speech, Darby offered the staff an agenda that focused on increasing efficiency in the -production process, raising standards for quality control and building up communication among the staff. “We have incredible potential —so many strengths to build on and so much room to grow,” Darby said. “We do not need change for change’s sake; we need to step back and, as a constructive team, rethink the way we do things so that we can improve the way we lead, communicate and operate and enhance the product we present to our readership.” Darby said that recruitment and retention would be key priorities in the coming year and that she would concentrate especially on the retention of upperclassmen on staff. Greater mentoring opportunities among the staff, she said, will help facilitate retention on all levels. During her term as University editor, Darby worked with about a dozen associate editors to cover all aspects of campus affairs. Staff members report that Darby has been a dedicated reporter with boundless enthusiasm and many fresh ideas. As wire editor, she trained and managed a staff of between six and 10 associate wire editors and was responsible for the content and selection of wire articles. Wire articles are written by nonChronicle staffers and usually report national and world news. Darby began her career at The Chronicle as a reporter for the University and City and State departments during the first semester of her freshman year. She also served as an associate wire editor during the second semester ofher freshman year and as an associate city and state editor during the first semester of her sophomore year. One month after Hauptman’s February 2004 election, she appointed Darby associate City and State editor and wire editor. Hailing from Greenville, N.C., Darby is an English major and plans to earn a minor in political science and a certificate in journalism. After graduation, she intends to attendlaw school or graduate school and pursue a career in political journalism or public relations.

Other 'big 3' secures must-win over Wake by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

It was obvious from the beginning of contest against Wake Forest that Duke was treating it like a win-atall-costs situation. First, Jay Williams and Chris Duhon came out to support the team. Then, pulling out even bigger guns, Coach K made the lineup change of the year by starting game the Patricks—Davidson and Johnson. analysis What really made a key difference in the game, however, was the other “big three”—the trio of Reggie Love, Lee Melchionni and DeMarcus Nelson. This mix of a fifth-year senior, a junior and a freshman was responsible for doing the little things to help the Blue Devils topple a giant, namely the Demon Deacons. Melchionni’s contribution was the most lauded of the three because he was the team’s second-leading scorer with 15 points, a career high. But more significant than Melchionni’s overall scoring output were his defensive intensity, his energy and, most of all, his timing. “I thought Lee’s bucket when they got it down to 11 and he hit the three was the biggest bucket for us in the ballgame,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said of Melchionni’s shot with 4:14 to go. “For Lee to step up like that and knock it down was huge.” As usual, Melchionni was the energymaker, capitalizing on crucial moments to pump up the crowd by raising his arms or hugging a teammate. In addition to his clutch three, the junior made Cameron roar when he intercepted an Eric Williams pass, took it to .the basket all alone on the fast break and slammed it home. His technique was not perfect —Melchionni nearly blew the dunk—but it did spark a critical 13-4 Duke run early in the second half. “The guy I was most proud of was Lee,” guard JJ. Redick said. “I took him aside early in the second half, and I told him he shouldn’t limit himself. “I just think he played with a lot ofguts.” Equally important to the Blue Devils’ win was their newly announced tri-captain, Mr. Love. The forward’s output was not statistically spectacular—he scored six points and grabbed only one rebound in 14 minutes—but he was crucial in unnoticeable ways. Time and again, Love stepped into the lane to block the paths of Wake Forest’s lethal guards, particularly the sensational Chris Paul. By doing so, Love picked up fouls that Shelden Williams might have committed otherwise and enabled Williams to play 39 minutes. “Reggie’s energy, both in the game and at practice, has been huge for us,” Johnson said. Nelson, the final member of the other

“We haven’t been aggressive throughout the entire game or been up the entire game,” designated hitter Eric Baumann said. “We have our ups and downs, and until we stay up the entire game, we’re not going to win these ball games.” Down 14-7 entering the bottom of the ninth Saturday, the Blue Devils (4-5) had their rally caps on. Baumann launched a grand slam with two outs to bring Duke to within one run ofCincinnati (3-3). JJ. Koterba, Adam Murray and Javier Socorro loaded the bases with one out to start the inning. Brett Bardes knocked Koterba in with a single through the left side. Bearcat pitcher Kyle Markle walked in a run and Bryan Smith popped out to the shortstop for the second out of the inning before Baumann stepped up to the plate. Ron Causey, who pinch hit for fellow freshman Brett Smith, came up empty, looking at a third strike to end the game at 14-13. Six Duke pitchers saw time on the mound Saturday and collectively gave up eight earned runs to the Bearcats. But two

Duke errors in the fifth inning helped Cincinnati score six unearned runs. The Bearcats gave up 11 earned runs to the Blue Devils over the course of the game, with their two remaining runs coming off of two errors in the fourth inning. “It’s just baseball, and that happens. The ball just doesn’t bounce your way somedmes,” Baumann said. “The errors we’ve had have been huge—just bad situations, and that’s baseball. But, in order to wins these games, we need to swing the bats more consistently throughout the whole game.” Similarly, in Sunday’s game, an error in the sixth inning gave Cincinnati two runs, bringing the score to 6-1. With two men on base, Bearcat catcher Jim Olds ripped a 21 pitch up the middle past righty Greg Burke. Bardes stopped the ball, but he could not come up with it to make a play. Duke made another last-inning comeback attempt that fell short. Cincinnati’s Josh Kay, a right-handed sidearm reliever, showed off the movement of his pitches, striking out all three batters in the eighth inning, but Bartles started off the ninth with a line drive to rightfield. With Bartles and Jimmy Gallagher on base with one out, head coach Bill Hillier put in lefty Corey Whiting to pinch hit for Causey, since the right-handed batters had trouble against Kay, Hillier said.

Last relay lifts Duke into 10th by

THE CHRONICLE

After the first round of action in the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championship, the men’s golf team is in ninth place with a combined score of 6-over-par. Junior Nathan Smith finds himself in a tie for the top spot with a 2-under 70 at the Championship Course at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra, Fla. “I felt really comfortable out there today,” Smith said. “I am familiar with this course having played in two collegiate tournaments here, as well as my U.S. Open Qualifying round here last year.” Smith scored birdies on holes eight and nine, putting him 2-under through the front nine. But on the 10th hole, the junior ran into some trouble. He hit driver off the tee when he said should have hit a three-wood, and then his second shot sailed over the pin. “After flying the green, I was blocked out and had no shot,” Smith said. “I wound up having to take the double, but I was able to offset it with two straight birdies on 11 and 12.” Smith finished out the round with six straight pars, leaving him 2-under for the day. Junior Ryan Blaum had a fairly stable round with two birdies and three bogeys, leaving him at 1-over. Sophomore Jake Grodzinsky shot a 4-over 76, starting out with a pair ofbirdies but hitting a tough time on the back side. He had bogeys on 10, 11, 13 and 16, a double bogey on 17, but ended with a birdie on the final hole. Alex Wilson struggled the most out of all of the Blue Devils, shooting a 7-over round of 79. He had a pair of triple bogeys on the back nine and a double bogey on the 18th hole.

The fifthranked Blue Devils then fell Sunday to No. 4 Northwestern, 5-2. “We talked about how we had to fight to the very end, and if we fight the results will come,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “We stole the match from Notre Dame because they had us beat at one point.” After pulling to within one of Notre Dame at 3-2, it appeared as if fifth-ranked Duke was headed for its second loss of the season before Cargill came back from a set down and Arasu won the decisive tiebreaker. Arasu took the second set, 64, to level the match at one set apiece. She then gained the early lead at 3-2 in the final set, but

“Wherever we have put Clelia in the lineup she has come through for us, and she did it again tonight,” Ashworth said. Playing at the No. 1 position because of Jackie Carleton’s injury, Blaszak won her match 6-1, 7-6, 6-2 to bring Duke to within a point of Notre Dame. For the first time during the indoor season, the Blue Devils lost all three doubles matches. Carleton’s injury also forced Ashworth to mix up his doubles lineup, and none of his teams could muster more than five games. A similar comeback was not in order against big-serving Northwestern Sunday afternoon. Like the Fighting Irish, the Wildcats jumped on top of the Blue Devils early, taking 2-of-3 doubles matches and the first point. But the match was over before Duke could even get a point as Northwestern (9-1) won the first three singles matches to finish. Two the of the architects of Duke’s Friday comeback, Arasu and Deltour, lost their matches 62, 6-2 and 6-1, 6-1, respectively. Blaszak then lost for the first time this season in singles play to Audra Cohen, the nation’s No. 1

singles player. “I actually think we played a better match today than we did on Friday,” said Ashworth. “Northwestern is a much better team than Notre Dame.”

straight sets to defending national singles champion Ben-

jamin Becker, 6-1, 6-2. Becker, who Stokke said is known for his strong return game and groundstrokes, was matched up well against the serve-and-volleyer Stokke. “He’s got really good returns and great groundstrokes,” Stokke said of his opponent. “He just took away my best weapon, the serve, and 1 couldn’t do anything to hurt him. It was really a systematic picking apart of my game.... He wasn’t national champion by accident.” Stokke wasn’t the only Blue Devil that struggled against the Baylor team. Peter Rodrigues, hampered by tendinitis of the wrist, also lost in straight sets, 64, 64, in his quarterfinal match and did not compete in the consolation match against Georgia. The third singles point awarded in the match was to Baylor’s Michael Kokta after his three-set win over Duke’s Peter Shults.

Shults, who was bothered by a shoulder injury, managed to take the first set 6-4, but then lost the final two 6-2, 6-2. The doubles point also went to Baylor. The third doubles pairing of Stephen Amritraj and Shults fell to Baylor’s Becker and Jon Reckewey, 8-3, while Duke’s Stokke and Rodrigues lost in similar fashion, 8-4. The two wins for Baylor clinched the doubles point and the top doubles pairing of Ludovic Walter and Jason Zimmermann did not even finish. In a consolation match, the Blue Devils faced Georgia. Duke won 4-1 with a reshuffled lineup featuring freshman Ned Samuelson, who played for the first time since the season opener and won 6-4, 7-5. Amritraj and Zimmermann were the other singles winners, both of whom scored upset wins. Amritraj topped No. 28 Made Omerzel. Senior Jason Zimmermann defeated 49th-ranked Strahinja Bobusic. Zimmermann dropped the first set 3-6, but went on to down Bobusic 6-3,6-1 in the final two sets. Charles Brezac took the place of the ailing Rodrigues, winning in doubles with Stokke, but he dropped his singles match in straight sets. Amritraj and Shults clinched the doubles point with an 8-6 win. Duke now has 10 days offbefore its next match at N.C. State March 2. “We need to use these 10 days to get in shape and work on our weaknesses,” Stokke said. We have gotten tired during this stretch in past years, but this year we have some time off to regain our focus and work hard.”

“big three,” was all over the court in his 19 minutes of play. Beside grabbing five rebounds, the freshman was able to come up with loose balls when Duke needed a boost. Nelson especially made his mark during two distinct stages of the game, with his initial run occurring eight minutes in. First, Nelson made a three to give Duke a 19-17 lead, the team’s first advantage since the game’s opening moments. Then he grabbed two key defensive rebounds at a time when the Blue Devils were having trouble keeping Wake off the offensive glass. His second splash came at the beginning of the second half. In a span of 26 seconds, Nelson grabbed an offensive rebound, missed a jumper, came up with the subsequent loose ball, assisted a Redick three, stole the ball from Vytas Danelius and dunked the ball on a fast break. “I think we had a big impact,” Nelson said ofLove, Melchionni and himself. “It was not only us, but it was a complete team effort.” The trio’s performance helped answer a lot of lingering questions about Duke’s depth. Criticized all year for lacking the nine-man rotation enjoyed by undefeated Illinois, the Blue Devils are now on the verge of having the same luxury. With the impending return of David McClure and the availability of Shavlik Randolph, Duke will be capable of going nine-deep when the tournament rolls around. The thicker bench will solve the foultrouble predicament that Duke has faced now and then. Instead of feeling forced to leave in foul-troubled starters, as in last week’s Maryland debacle and last year’s crushing loss to Connecticut in the Final Four, Coach K will have the option of using a deeper bench and preserving his stars for the game’s waning moments. “We’re a lot deeper than people give us credit for,” Nelson said. “Anyone on tjiis team is capable of stepping up and having a big night when we need it, and that’s something that’s special about our team.”

To me that takes the game to another level,” Krzyzewski said. “Tonight the offense, then, had to play at just another level.” Reeling from a 67-65 loss, Krzyzewski turned to Davidson, Johnson and new captain Reggie Love in the starting lineup “to send a message that he wanted guys out there that were going to fight,” Redick said. Davidson hounded Paul from the very start, but the Blue Devils eventually turned to their “big three” once more.

ATLANTA Jessica Foley is a big fan of Georgia Tech. Her three-point shot is, at least.

But Foley’s acGA.TECH 155 curacy from threepoint land is old news to Georgia Tech. In the Blue Devils’ Jan. 17 come-from-behind victory, Foley torched the Yellow Jacket defense by sinking seven three-pointers. The junior has not recorded more than four three-point field goals in any game since the first meeting. “I don’t know what it is, but I think we bring out the best in [Foley],” Georgia Tech head coach MaChelle Joseph said. Duke (25-2, 11-1 in the ACC) gained the lead in the first five minutes of the game and never relinquished it. Though the Yellow Jackets (13-11, 4-8) narrowed the margin to as little as four within the first two minutes of the second half, the Blue Devils went on a 17-3 run, swelling the difference to 18. By the time Foley sank her final threepointer, Georgia Tech seemed finished. With 6:46 remaining in the game, point guard Wanisha Smith grabbed the rebound off a missed Mistie Williams free throw and dished the ball to Foley outside the perimeter. Foley squared her shoulders and calmly sunk a clean trifecta to increase Duke’s lead to 59-39. Georgia Tech would not climb within 18 points of the Blue Devils for the remainder of the game. Duke’s accurate shooting proved the deciding factor in the game. The Blue Devils hit 51 percent of their field goals overall and 62 percent from three-point range, while the Yellow Jackets shot a paltry 28 percent from the field and 18 percent from outside the perimeter. Georgia Tech used a triangle-and-two defense on forward Monique Currie and Foley in an attempt to contain two of Duke’s most dangerous scoring threats. Joseph said this strategy resulted in other Blue Devils getting open looks. “I really thought that we did a good job on Currie, shutting her down,” Joseph said. Currie was held to fewer than 10 points for the first time this season, snapping a 30game streak. The junior National Player of the Year candidate is currendy batding two stress fractures in her left foot and is playing with an oversized shoe, orthotics and a protective shell. She had been averaging 17.7 points on the season, but her average has dropped to 12.7 since her Feb. 3 injury. “I just think she’s not become comfortable yet,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said of Currie. “She’s only had a couple of practices with us, and I think it’s just going to take time for her to become comfortable playing and shooting with the orthotic and the shell in her shoe.” With the team’s top scorer injured, Duke’s bench players stepped up to make significant contributions. Senior Wynter Whitley and freshman Chante Black each contributed 11 points off the bench. Black, named ACC Rookie of the Week after the Blue Devils’ Feb. 13 win over Maryland, also posted a team-high nine rebounds.

Freshman Chante Black puts up a layup for two ofher five points in Duke's win Sunday in Atlanta. Georgia Tech out-rebounded Duke, however, snagging 40 boards, 24 off the offensive glass. Duke recorded only 31 total and 10 offensive rebounds despite a marked size advantage in the paint. Sunday’s game was only the sixth time the Blue Devils have been beaten on the glass this season. “Obviously, they did a tremendous job on the boards,” Goestenkors said. “I thought they really, in many instances, outworked us and out-hustled us. They’re a very scrappy team.” While Duke’s height did not translate into success in rebounding, the Blue Devils outscored the Yellow Jackets in the paint 28-16. Goestenkors switched to a triple-post offense to utilize the size of 6foot-7 center Alison Bales, 6-foot-5 center Black, 6-foot-3 forward Williams and 6foot-2 forward Whitley. “We had such a size advantage on them, and we weren’t taking advantage of that,” Goestenkors said. “Early on, they were jamming up the middle. We were taking so many jump shots, and we really needed to get the ball inside, as well.” “It made it look like the land of giants out there,” Joseph said. NOTES: The win was the Blue Devils’ 25th consecutive against GeorgiaTech and extended their current overall win streak to seven games.... Foley’s five three-pointers

moved her into seventh place on Duke’s all-time three-pointers made list with 125.... Bales moved into fourth place on Duke’s all-time bloick list with 132.

On the ensuing possession, junior Katie Chrest and freshman Jessica Adam began passing the ball across the field to one another, attempting to slow down the Pioneers’ charge. Suddenly, the ball was rocketed toward the front of the Denver goal where freshman Carolyn Cryer waited. She received the pass and sent it off into the back of the Pioneers’ net. The goal gave Duke a 12-3 advantage, one it would quickly expand upon on its way to a 21-6 win. The Blue Devils were able to utilize their tremendous depth down the stretch, constantly rotating in fresh reserves to take advantage of a tired and depleted Denver defense. Cryer’s goal at 18:37 set off a 12-minute stretch during which the Blue Devils tallied 10 goals from nine different players. In addition, a total of 30 players saw action at some point Sunday, with many members of _

began to respond. Sophomore Kristen Waagbo led the Blue Devils offensively with four goals and two assists. Chrest and sophomore Michelle Menser each netted three goals and one assist while Cryer finished with one goal and a pain of assists. A total of 14 Blue Devils picked up a point, and goalie Megan Huether made eight saves on 11 shots, playing all but six minutes. The Blue Devils opened their season with a turnover-marred 16-4 win against Duquesne (1-1) Friday. Behind four-goal performances from both Chrest and Waagbo, Duke turned an early one-goal deficit into a daunting 9-1 halftime advantage. But the Blue Devils did not control the ball well after the break as they allowed 16 Duquesne shots and committed 13 turnovers. As a result, Duke sought to shore up its defensive performance against Denver by slowing down the speed of the Pioneers’ attack. These efforts came to fruition as Duke was able to hold Denver to 16 shots and forced it into 25 turnovers. Critical to the Blue Devils’ success was the Pioneers’ inability to find open targets down the field, forcing their midfielders to cradle the ball head-on into Duke’s awaiting defense. “We were trying to be really relentless in the midfield,” Waagbo said. “We tried to get off quick double-teams because [against Duquesne], it was too easy for them to get the ball to their offense. We really wanted to just slow the ball down this game.”

Greer’s most spectacular play came in the opening moments of the second quarter, when he flicked the ball behind his back while running across the face of the goal mouth and gave Duke a 51 lead. Greer was assisted twice by attackman Matt Danowski, Duke’s returning scoring leader. The sophomore added two goals of his own against the Bulldogs. “Playing with Matt is incredible,” Greer said of the rapidly-forming chemistry between himself and Danowski. “He creates so much space for his teammates. He can feed the ball, he can shoot the ball and he opens up the field for everyone else.” Midfielder Peter Lamade took advantage of that wide open space.

Late wins push Duke to ACC victory by

THE CHRONICLE

Last year it took a dramatic comeback from a 14-0 deficit for Duke wresding to defeat Virginia. This time the Blue Devils grabbed a 12-3 lead after four matches and held on to beat the Cavaliers 19-15. “This was a DUKE 19 reat win for UVA 15 these guys,” head coach Clar Anderson said. “When we beat them last year it was an upset, but to beat them a second time in a row is really great.” Steve Smith got Duke (9-4, 2-2 in the ACC) off to a strong start in the 165-pound weight class, earning a 10-6 win over Jim Hartey to put Duke on top 3-0. When Virginia freshman Rocco Caponi upset Duke senior captain Levi Craig 5-4 at 174 pounds, momentum seemed to switch in favor of the Cavaliers. Craig scored a takedown as time was winding down to take a 43 lead, but Caponi earned a reversal just seconds later to grab the win. A decision by Frank Comely put Duke back on top 6-3. In the next match, 197pounder Mark Thompson seemed to put the match out ofreach for Virginia (4-11, 0-4), pinning Scott Smith in the first minute. The win put Duke up 12-3. “That was a tremendousboost for us,” Anderson said. “That pin really put us at a point where we thought we were going to win.” But the Cavaliers did not go away. They won matches at heavyweight, 125 and 133 pounds to level the team score even at 12.At 133 pounds, UVa’s Byron Dunlap used three back points in the third period to upset Bryan Gibson and give the Cavaliers a shot.

BROOKS FICKE/THECHRONICLE

Antwone Floyd scored four points in the second tiebreaker to beat his UVa opponent, 6-3. Back-to-back wins by Wes Kuser and Antwone Floyd then sealed the win for the Blue Devils. Less than two weeks ago, the 141-pound Kuser had lost two straight matches and seemed to be in a slump. He has now won four in a row, including an 11-3 major decision over Virginia’s Chet Naylor that put Duke up 16-12. But it was Floyd’s match against Paul Dunstan that clinched the Duke victory. Virginia’s Dunstan was favored over the Duke sophomore, but Floyd kept the match close and send it to overtime at 2-2. After a scoreless overtime period, Dunstan earned an escape to lead 3-2 through one tiebreaker. In the second tiebreaker, Floyd

Rodriguez and Ness, along with sophomore Michelle Aristeo and junior Julia Lewis placed eighth in the 400-yard medley relay with a time of 3:49.54. Although the Blue Devils ended the competition near the bottom of the standings, the team recorded several personal bests. “We swam as well as we could have,” Hancock said. “We had a lot of best dmes.” Spearman swam a lifetime best in the 100-yard backstroke with a 57.71 time, but because of her preliminary standing, she was ineligible to score points in the final race. In the 400-yard individual medley, sophomore Aristeo’s 4:27.41 time in the preliminary round was also a lifetime best; she scored three points during the final race. The ACC Championships marks the end of the season for most of Duke’s team members. The names of those who may have qualified to participate in NCAA Championships will be announced in the beginning of March. Ness and Rodriquez may qualify.

A victory over N.C. State Wednesday night would give the Blue Devils their second-straight winning conference record and lock up third place in the conference. “We’re hoping to use this momentum to our advantage against a very good N.C. State team,” Anderson said.

Neither Josh .Albert nor Murray could bring Whiting home, and they closed the game with a strikeout and a fly ball to

“The pace of the game is slow,” Hillier said. “So, when it’s slow and you’re behind, it’s hard to get the adrenaline going. You have to string hits together to get excitement going. You have to make rallykilling plays to get energy going.” Friday, the Blue Devils did not have that energy in the 3-1 loss to the Bearcats. Starting on the rubber, Danny Otero gave up two first-inning runs. Even though the team racked up 11 hits, Duke could not score more than one run in the game. Bartles earned the team’s only RBI on a single to right-centerfield in the bottom of the sixth. PETER

Freshman Brad Ross kept Duke out in front thanks to his superb play in the faceoff circle. Ross won 13 out of 17 face-

The Duke coach was satisfied with the win but refused to give his team too much credit. “I thought we did a good job,” Pressler said. “I don’t think we played great—we showed a lot of passion and a lot of effort—but, again, it’s Feb. 19. We have never opened this early, ever. For us to expect to come out there and play like a team in March or April or May, that’s a mistake and that’s not going to happen.”

With only a few hours between the mile run and the 3,000-meters, Rowbury began the day unsure of whether she would compete in both events. Riding the adrenaline of her earlier win, Rowbury did not appear fatigued. She ran to a seven-second victory on a late two-lap surge and finished in 9:20.74 in the 3,000-meters. “It was sort of a, Til just go out and see how I can do’, which made it easy because

I didn’t have all the pressure on my shoulders,” Rowbury said. The Blue Devils had each of the first four spots after five of the 15 laps. Wort, a rabbit for the race, was in the top position but dropped out at the midway point, handing teammate Paige Miller the lead. One lap later, Rowbury moved into the lead and sprinted ahead of the Blue Devils and Wake Forest’s Annie Bersagel. Miller dropped back to the third, earning a NCAA provisional qualifying time of 9:29.20. Sophomore Debra Vento, batding the flu, still placed third in the high jump. Her leap of 1.78 meters was not good enough to top defending the national champion, Georgia Tech’s Chaunte Howard, or North

Carolina’s Sheena Gordon, who posted her personal best. “I thought that was the gutsiest performance of the meet,” Ogilvie said. “She had no strength and summoned enough energy to get third place, which is all that was expected ofher.” On the men’s side, freshman Jade Ellis placed third in the triple-jump with a leap of 15.24 meters. Ellis improved his distance on each of his first five jumps, but he scratched on his sixth when the top two competitors posted their longest jumps.

But he fell back to seventh by the end of the race, losing most of the ground in the final six laps. “I knew that I had to go at some point in the middle of the race to get the kick out of them,” Schneider said. “My legs just kind of tightened up with about 600 meters to go.

pullout “a result of the heroic resistance of our people.” Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Cabinet thousands of troops would dismantle the settlements in a four-stage withdrawal. The Cabinet has not decided in which order the settlements will be removed. In an equally momentous vote, Cabinet ministers approved the final route of the 425-mile separation barrier, but encompassing more than six percent of West Bank land, including the large Jewish settlement blocs of Gush Etzion and Maaleh Adumim, both near Jerusalem. Construction of the West Bank barrier began in 2002 and is one-third complete. Israel said it needed a shield against Palestinian suicide bombers and gunmen. The Palestinians denounced the barrier as a land grab, saying Israel could have built it on its land. Last year, the world court said in a nonbinding opinion that the construction of the barrier is illegal and should stop. The route originally proposed by army

ISRAEL from page 2 leaders in Jerusalem. He said the vote proved Israel’s readiness to take “painful steps... to make peace.” The easy endorsement appeared to be the final political defeat for withdrawal opponents, including the powerful Jewish settler lobby. The pullout could still be derailed if Sharon fails to get his 2005 budget passed by parliament by the end of March. “This is a historic decision, but we are facing a very difficult period,” Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said of expected settler confrontations with troops. Pinchas Wallerstein, a leader of the council of Jewish setdements, called on supporters to begin “an aggressive and strong struggle,” but to avoid violent confrontations with Israeli troops. Meanwhile, the militant Hamas group claimed victory. Musher al-Masri, a Hamas spokesperson in Gaza, called the Israeli

He also noted that it offers model of freedom for the rest of the world. “In all these ways, our strong friendship is essential to peace and prosperity across the globe —and no temporary debate, no passing disagreement of governments, no power on earth will ever divide us,” Bush will say. “Our greatest opportunity and our immediate goal is peace in the Middle East,” the president will say. An alliance of 88 environmental, human rights, peace and other groups planned two days of protests in Brussels, beginning Monday, to demand “no European complicity” in a U.S.-designed world order.

were struck down by Israel’s

Supreme Court for causing too much hardship for Palestinians. By a vote of 20-1, the Cabinet approved the revised path that is closer to Israel’s

pre-1967 boundary with the West Bank. But in the Jerusalem area the new route dips deep into the West Bank, which could undercut the Palestinians’ attempt to establish their future capital in the eastern sector of the city, abutting the West Bank. Several Cabinet ministers acknowledged that while the barrier might have been conceived as a temporary defense against Palestinian attacks, it also would help determine final borders. “The route of the fence is significant in terms of future negotiations over Israel’s borders,” Livni said. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas told the German news magazine Der Spiegel that Israel must dismande all set-

than the usual number for the three or four summit meetings that bring European Union leaders to the Belgian capital every year. While seeking to move past old divisions, Bush and European leaders still face major differences. Washington opposes Europe’s plans to lift a 15-yearold arms embargo against China. Bush has been cool toward Europe’s negotiations to persuade Iran to abandon its suspected nuclear weapons program. The White House prefers asking the U.N. Nations Security Council to punish Tehran. Hard feelings linger from Bush’s opposition to the Kyoto climate change treaty and the International Criminal Court. Bush expresses support for Europe’s democratic unity in his speech and says Washington supports a strong Europe. He also says Washington shares Europe’s concern about global poverty.

dements and halt construction of the barrier. “What right does Israel have to build settlements on our land?” Abbas said. Sharon has said he has U.S. blessing for holding on to large West Bank settlement blocs in a future peace year, President George W. Bush affirmed to Sharon in a letter that “new realities” in the West Bank, meaning concentrations of Israeli setders, could not be overlooked in drawing future borders. “The American letter to Sharon is unacceptable because it pre-empts solutions for a final phase we haven’t reached yet,” •Abbas told Der Spiegel, saying Bush cannot determine the Palestinians’ fate. In other developments Sunday: —lsrael announced it would free 500 prisoners on Monday, in accordance with agreements reached at an Israeli-Palestinian summit earlier this month. —lsraeli troops killed one Palestinian and wounded another on suspicion they tried to smuggle arms from Egypt to Gaza.

“By bringing progress and hope to nations in need,, we can improve many lives, and lift up failing states and remove the causes and sanctuaries of terror,” the president will say. An issue where the allies may find common ground is a demand that Syria withdraw its forces from Lebanon—a declaration prompted by the recent assassination of a former prime minister, Rafik Hariri, in a massive bombing in Beirut. The president has a private dinner with Chirac, who was a friend of Hariri. Tuesday, Bush is attending NATO and EU meetings. Wednesday finds the president in Mainz, Germany, for a meeting with Schroeder. The trip ends Thursday with talks with Putin in Slovakia. Bush’s talks with the Russian president are the most important of the trip, said Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV).

Misconeptions plague Mormon faith Many Duke students pride themselves on being open-minded and less prejudiced than our peers. However, it may be the case that some prejudices are simply not fashionable or not acceptable any longer and we have to find new ones. In Matt Gillum’s Feb. 16 column “Forbidden Love,” he takes some subtle and not-so subtle potshots at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its members and its beliefs. “Ridiculous” and “repressive” are some of the relevant adjectives. His professed “respect” is plainly insincere. He addresses the Church in reference to its historical practice of polygamy as he searches for some sexual practice that would offend a “normal” person’s morality in order to juxtapose it with his advocacy for pederasty. Gillum might have looked for other models of polygamy in the Old Testament or in Islam, but he would have been called an anti-Semite and a bigot (and justifiably so). Somehow, anti-Mormon sentiment has not yet elicited those responses in the larger society. It made for an easy target. As it is, his jabs at Latter-day Saints contribute nothing

an argument already lacking in redeeming social value. Although some may find his subject amusing, there is nothing funny about intolerance. The Latter-day Saint community at Duke is small, but active. We are graduate students, engineers, athletes, staff, faculty and members of many organizations on campus. Those around us who know us well are aware that we strive to live Christ-like lives that are in accordance with the highest moral principles. We earnestly believe in the principles that our Church teaches and feel that our lives are enhanced by them. We are not perfect, but we strive towards such an ideal. Unfortunately, persecution is a part of Mormon history (see last year’s apology by Illinois for the murder of Joseph Smith). Even more sadly, we still find that many fellow Christians are not accepting of us as brothers and sisters. Many old stereotypes and misconceptions, such as those asserted by Gillum, continue to plague us. to

Monologues empowers women It amazes me that in the laundry list of women’s issues that Nathan Carle ton approved in his Feb. 17 column as “fine” to work on (eating disorders, mutilation and sexual assault. That’s it?) what The Vagina Monologues represents just wasn’t one of them. Celebrating our bodies and making people aware of how women learn about their sexuality (sometimes through violence and sometimes through tenderness) were apparently detrimental to our “goal.” What’s worse, I find it ironic that all of the proceeds collected from this “overpriced” play, as he* complained, go towards rape victims in Iraq. Could there be a better cause for women’s rights than this one? Social conservatives such as Carleton, who immediately become uncomfortable by any mention of topics that branch out of their monotonous idea of how each human being should live, make the heinous and offensive mistake of blaming women for their own avails in society. If we aren’t as academically high achieving, it’s because we’re too busy painting our nails and not trying hard enough. If we aren’t getting the best jobs, it’s because we came to a university not to learn but simply to become a “Mrs.” If we are assertive, we are bitchy; if quiet, we are dumb. If we wear short skirts we are trying to provoke male attention, regardless of what our true intentions are. And apparently, by putting on a play about a female body part that has not been understood by men and women alike, which has been mutilated in African tribal rituals for decades, locked up with chastity belts, and still not even been looked at by most of its owners, we are “identifying womanhood by sexual organ... a objectify(ing) females and their bodies worse than anyone.” What is so offensive about the vagina? We’ve all played the “penis” game in our mature and immature days. Somehow we think that’s funny, but standing up and yelling

“cunt” in a crowded theater that is putting on a play is not? I’d argue that that’s a better place to do it. Not an airport, not a restaurant. That is, if offending other people is your problem. The Vagina Monologues is not a play about hating men. Nor is it a play about angry females trying to make you feel bad about not having a cunt. It’s about empowering women through the celebration of something they have long neglected. It’s about needing to understand one’s body to take care of oneself. It’s about deciding not to be ashamed of it or blame it because it may trigger sexual thoughts in men. It’s about our body’s right to exist, right to respectful treatment and to be free from harm. It’s about women discovering their sexuality, both in beautiful and ugly ways. The stories in the play were not interpretations of events that took place between people. They are first-hand stories from women about their own discovery of their sexuality and the implications of that discovery for their lives. So whether the monologue was about a rape, a molestation, a first orgasm or something in between (the young lesbian discovering sex with an older woman), Carleton’s approval doesn’t matter. The point is that in every story such as this one, there is reality, there is beauty and there is pain. It is up to the audience to decide with which of those things it identifies. Feminism is not about separate movements that deliver immediate tangible benefits like equal pay for women —its about uprooting our society and making people think about gender roles in a different way.

language ofculture obscures its limitations. From time seemingly immemorial, African Americans have fought within culture’s contradiction—to be oneself, and to be black. But there exist more nuances to the black community than the majority might think. At the 2004 reunion of Harvard University’s black alumni, Lani Guinier, a Harvard law professor, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the chair ofHarvard’s African and African-American studies department, broke the cordial atmosphere when they asserted that the black students at Harvard might not be the right ones. While about 8 percent of Harvard undergraduates are black, these scholars pointed out that the majority of them—perhaps as many as two-thirds—are the products of recent Caribbean and African immigration. Thus, only a third of black students represent descendants of slaves, those disadvantaged by the legacy of Jim Crow, who were intended as the principal beneficiaries of affirmative action. On Valentine’s Day, at a forum organized by Duke’s Reginaldo Howard Memorial Scholars, Professor William “Sandy” Darity, Jr., highlighted the challenges posed by this divisive topic. “It is no longer legitimate to think of the black population of the United States as ethnically undifferentiated,” he said. In 2000, while Africans represented 1.6 percent of the American black population and Afro-Caribbeans 4.6 percent of this same population, Darity estimatM kuHan ed that 30-50 percent of the the P en s niightler black student population at individuals Duke were of families recently immigrated from Africa or the Caribbean. And while there has been no concrete study done to verify this assertion, black students at Duke can confirm its validity. Why does all this matter? First, one has to ask if affirmative action measures were designed to help just those who suffer from the legacy ofAmerican slavery, or all those who suffer from current, ongoing racism practiced in our society. Because if affirmative action is to correct for existing discriminatory practices, then Africans and Caribbeans should certainly benefit. To most anti-black racists, black is black, regardless ofone’s family history. However, it can be argued persuasively that affirmative action should only benefit native blacks. The story ofAmerica is a story of immigrants—except for them. Coming to America with an education and a visa beats coming in chains, any day. And this dichotomy bears itself out even for the poor, uneducated black immigrants in this country. The immigrant hypothesis would suggest that the desire to leave one’s own country for another self-selects the population we observe in the United States; thus, even if initially destitute, these immigrants have made the choice to live in America—an incredibly empowering decision, which exerts no small influence on their aspirations once within our borders. In short, these black immigrants visualize America as a land of opportunity, not one of struggle. They believe in the Dream. Second, universities can assert that they have a significant black presence without it being a native one. ‘Wesleyan University systematically pursued a strategy oftrying to move away from having native blacks in their population toward having black students of recent immigration,” Darity said, noting that admissions offices frequently perceive that immigrant families are less confrontational about race and other issues. Third, anti-black racism in some African and Caribbean families—nurtured by the prevailing mindset ofAmerican white supremacy—reinforces the idea ofnative black cultural deficiency. The argument goes as follows: if we can do it, why can’t you? The native black community in America faces a two-fold challenge: the socioeconomic burden of being one or two generations removed from dejure segregation and just a few more from slavery; and the psychological burden of being the only American group without claim to ancestral roots abroad. Disaggregation of the black community on college applications will provide a starting point for understanding more precisely who comprises the “monolithic” black masses. But recognizing who should qualify for programs designed to correct historic inequality is another issue. To be sure, this subject hits at the core of the authenticity debate: who’s the realest, who’s the most down, who’s suffered the most. While these questions may not seem fruitful, they are necessary if we wish to ever move forward from America’s enduring debt to African Americans.
