Groups may buy Duke land by

Breakfast transfers allowed for lunch

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

Local government officials and community groups hoping to stymie a developer’s plan to build a housing subdivision adjacent to Duke Forest are catching a break.

If Durham County commits to paying for the 42.8-acre tract—currendy owned by the University—by April 8, Duke will accept payments over three years, rather than in a lump sum. As several local governments scramble to come up with the necessary funds to purchase the tract, this extension could make the acquisition possible.

The University currently has a'contract allowing it to sell the entirety of the land to Crosland Properties Inc., which plans to build 49 “executive-style” houses on the land, which stretches from Durham into Orange County across New Hope Creek.

Community groups and some local government officials are working to thwart the

Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said Thursday that a meal “equivalency” pilot program will go into effect at the Marketplace starting Monday, March 21. Under the new program, students who do not eat breakfast will be able to use the money prepaid through their meal plan for breakfast to buy lunch at the Marketplace.

Any lunch exceeding the $4.85 cost of a breakfast will automatically be charged to students’ food points.

Wulforst said the program is dining services and Duke Student Government’s joint response to student criticisms of the meal plan. The current plan requires freshmen to pay for 12 meals each week—five breakfasts, five dinners and two weekend brunches—whether the students eat them or not.

Wulforst said many students have complained that paying for breakfasts is a waste of money because they frequendy skip or sleep through breakfast. On average, only about 700 freshmen eat breakfast at SEE MEAL PLAN ON PAGE 7

A suicide attacker set MOSUL, Iraq off a bomb that tore through a funeral tent jammed with Shiite mourners Thursday, splattering blood and body parts over rows of overturned white plastic chairs. The attack, which killed 47 and wounded more than 100, came as Shiite and Kurdish politicians in Baghdad said they overcame a major stumbling block to forming a new coalition government.

The explosion, in a working class neighborhood of this northern city, destroyed a large tent pitched next to a smaller one on a grassy patch in the court-

“As we were inside the mosque, we saw a ball of fire and heard a huge explosion,” said Tahir Abdullah Sultan, 45. “After that blood and pieces of flesh were scattered around the place.”

At first, some mourners thought it was an air strike—but once they smelled the gunpowder, they said they knew it was a suicide bombing.

Blood was spattered across the grass, car windows were shattered and survivors

wailed as corpses were loaded onto the backs of pickup trucks. Others simply folded newspapers over the faces of the dead.

The body parts that were strewn around the area were believed to be of the bomber.

Shiite mosques and funerals have become a frequent target of Sunni-led insurgents. Last month, suicide bombers attacked a number of them during the Shiite commemoration of Ashoura, killing nearly 100 people.

Rice vows cooperation with Mexico by

Liz Sidoti

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Secretary of State MEXICO CITY Condoleezza Rice, acknowledging the difficulty of monitoring the porous southern border, said Thursday the United States would work with Mexico to thwart al Qaeda and other terrorist groups rather than trade accusations.

Rice, on her first visit to Mexico since taking over at the State Department in late January, echoed concerns raised by government officials in congressional testimony last month about the motives of the terrorist network blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks.

“We and the Mexicans had a robust dialogue about border security, and I believe we’re going to continue to have that,” she said. “This is not a matter of pointing fingers. This is a matter of really trying to get the best possible coordination and work that we can so that there’s safety for citizens in both countries, on both sides of the border.”

Recent intelligence from current investigations, detentions and other sources suggests that al Qaeda has considered using the Southwest border to infiltrate the United States, according to testimony from a top Homeland Security Department offi-

cial last month before the Senate Intelligence. Committee. Rice cited the borders with Mexico and Canada.

“Indeed we have from time to time had reports about al Qaeda trying to use our southern border but also about them trying to use our northern border,” Rice told reporters. “There is no secret that al Qaeda will try to get into this country and into other countries by any means they possibly can.

“That’s how they managed to do it before and they will do everything that they can to cross the borders,” she said.

Survey: Students split on health plan F acuity research If your premium increased this year, would you consider leaving the Student Health Insurance funds fall Answer S2OK short I'd look around if there's anything by

Diana Ni and Steve Veres THE CHRONICLE

In order to stem Duke’s rising student health insurance costs, the Graduate and Professional Student Council searched to find the cause of the rise. GPSC officials distributed a survey last month to members of the health plan to help gauge interest on possible amendments to the plan. The results are in.

“People don’t really want us to strip the plan down, but at the same time they want the cost to be reasonable,” said Rob Saunders, community affairs coordinator for GPSC. “Most people aren’t happy with any type of increase.”

Duke student health insurance increased almost 22 percent last year—to $1,310 per student—and Dr. William Purdy, assistant clinical professor and interim medical director for Student Health, said he expects another 20-percent hike for the coming year. Blue Cross/Blue Shield of North Carolina is the provider for Duke’s insurance plan and determines the yearly increases.

Saunders said the survey was the result of a preemptive move to determine how much premiums would raise this year. A student health committee met and found students had been using their health insurance more this year. “If the company is paying more, we will pay more,” Saunders said.

The survey was designed to figure out how students wanted to deal with the looming increase in costs. Students surveyed were split between maintaining benefits with higher premiums and reducing benefits to manage cost increases.

A large amount of negative feedback was directed at drug reimbursement rates.

According to the results, 54 percent of those surveyed were against decreasing the reimbursement rate. Under a lower rate, students would have to pay more money out of pocket for prescription medicine. “We clearly don’t ever want to deny drugs people need, but we want to encourage people not to buy a drug because it’s on TV,” Saunders said.

The survey also examined what Saunders called “creative solutions” to getting the most out of the Student Health Cen-

Some of the reasons that people go right to the emergency room or specialists is that they are not aware of all of the services we offer,” said Jean Hanson, administrative director for student health. “It’s a challenge to get information in the right

In addition to a possible joint information campaign with Student Health,

GPSC will look for ways to encourage students to adopt healthier lifestyles in order to lower premium increases over the long term, Saunders said.

With the survey complete, GPSC representatives are still waiting on the final numbers and a proposed plan from Blue Cross/Blue Shield sometime in the next few weeks—in time for a final decision sometime in April.

Faced with competing demands for limited funds, the Committee on Faculty Research is battling the bottom line.

Conference spending beyond the budget has exhausted reserves, and new challenges complicate the distribution of research money, Ann Marie Rasmussen, outgoing chair of the committee, reported Thursday to the Arts and Sciences Council.

Over each of the past two years, about 200 of the 450 eligible faculty have received $l,OOO grants to attend up to two conferences. These allotments add up to significandy more than the $lBO,OOO annual budget, and the committee has spent all of its $60,000 reserves.

“On what basis do you deny funding?” asked Rasmussen, associate professor of German languages and literature. At the moment, she said, anyone who proves that her presence at a conference would help Duke’s visibility receives the money.

Several faculty noted that $l,OOO is insufficient to pay for international trips.

Some suggested a larger limit, which could worsen the budget crunch.

The committee has requested the additional $20,000 per year it needs to stay SEE FUNDING ON PAGE 7

Council mulls on-campus winter break housing by

Ikee Gardner

THE CHRONICLE

Campus Council discussed solutions to a prevalent problem for international students—the lack of oncampus housing over winter break. Sophomore Yee Ng, interim president of the International Council, addressed Campus Council members with a proposal to secure housing for both international and non-international students in need of winter accommodations.

Forming winter break plans is a difficult task for students who wish to stay at Duke because of transportation expenses or family complications. Each year, between 30 and 50 international students are in need of winter housing. The cost of a plane ticket home can be a financial difficulty for international students who receive financial aid.

“For me, it means at least $1,500 to go home and 20 hours to go home,” said Ng, whose hometown is Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Though many international students stay in friends’ Central Campus apartments over break, the lack of guaranteed housing poses a severe problem, she

ATTACK from page 2 targeting the country's security services, majority Shiites and people thought to be working with U.S.-led forces. Dealing with the persistent insurgency will be a main task for a new Iraqi government.

Officials said the deal between the Shiite clergy-backed United Iraqi Alliance and the Kurdish parties opens the way for naming a Cabinet when Iraq's democratically Assembly convenes Wednesday.

The Kurds agreed to support the alliance’s candidate for prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari. In exchange, the alliance will back Jalal Talabani as Iraq’s firstever Kurdish president. The Kurds will receive one major Cabinet post —one fewer than they demanded.

“We told the Kurds that if they are going to have the presidency, then they could have only one major cabinet post because Sunnis should have one major cabinet post,” said Ali al-Dabaghal, a ranking member of the alliance who has participated in the negotiations.

On the thorny issue of territory, officials in both political camps said the deal provides for the eventual return of 100,000 Kurdish refugees to the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, southwest of Mosul.

The government will discuss returning the refugees and redrawing existing Kurdish autonomous regions to include the city, according to the deal. While in power, Saddam Hussein relocated Iraqi Arabs to the region in a bid to secure the oil fields there and brutally expelled the Kurds. Many of the Kurds who now want to return to Kirkuk are currently living in tent cities.

Officials said any land agreement would be incorporated into the country’s new constitution, which must be drafted by mid-August and approved by referendum two months later.

“As for Kirkuk, we agreed to solve the issue in two steps. In the first step, the new government is committed to normalizing the situation in Kirkuk, the other step regarding annexing Kirkuk to Kurdistan is to be left until the writing of the constitution,” said Fuad Masoum, a member of the Kurdish coalition, who served as head of the Iraq’s former National Council.

He added that the new Iraqi government “is obligated to normalization in

“We agreed with the Kurds that these two issues are to be solved through the government and they agreed on this....We told them that the issues will be discussed as soon as the central government is formed,” al-Dabagh said.

Other Kurdish demands include a share of the region’s oil revenues, the right to maintain their peshmerga militia and a bigger share of the national budget, more than the 17 percent they now receive.

“With regard to the financial resources, this was solved. Kirkuk resources will be given to the government which will spend them fairly to reconstruct all provinces. As for the peshmerga, they will be joined in the security bodies, such as border guards, local police,” al-Dabagh said.

He said the Kurds had demanded to keep a local peshmerga militia force of 100,000, but that “we told them that the Defense Ministry will decide how many peshmerga are needed under the condition that there will not be a separate peshmerga unit.”

The Kurds, who comprise about 15 percent of the population, emerged as king makers because they voted in large numbers in the Jan. 30 national elections and won 75 seats in the 275-member National Assembly. The alliance won 140 seats and needs Kurdish support to assemble the two-thirds majority to elect a president, who will then give a mandate to the prime minister.

Sunni Arabs, who make up only about 20 percent of the population but were favored under Saddam’s regime, largely stayed away from the elections—either to honor a boycott call or because they feared that they would be attacked at the polls by insurgents.

A doctor at Mosul’s hospital, Saher Maher, said 47 people were killed and that U.S. troops took 10 “very critical cases” to a medical facility on their base in the city. American troops also were seen bringing medical supplies to the hospital. The U.S. military said more than 100 were injured.

In other violence, attackers killed two district police chiefs and two others Iraqis in shootings in Baghdad Thursday, and an accountant working for a Kurdish television station was killed in northern Iraq.

Wendy Jacobs, Trinity ’B3 and chair of the Erwin Area Neighborhood Group, fears the development of the land because it would eliminate a potential recreation area for local residents.

“When a Duke Forest property comes up for sale, it’s an amazing opportunity because we don’t have a lot of open spaces with developed hardwood trees on them,” she said. She also expressed concern over the possible loss of historic roads and Native American ruins that are on the land.

Wade and Carolyn Penny, whose proper-

ty borders the contested plot, agreed with Jacobs. If local governments buy up the land, they also have promised to sell their 25 acres of their land to the governments at one-tenth the going rate. -This raises the stakes for the local governments because if they succeed in acquiring Duke’s 42.8 acres, they could also acquire the Pennys’ land, making for a much bigger public park.

Crosland Properties executives see it differendy. “There is not a big benefit for the county to buy that land,” Crosland Vice President Jim Anderson said. “If I develop it, half of it [will be] open space with a trail. They are also giving up almost $90,000 a year [of potential tax revenue].”

He said Crosland will drop the project if it receives $500,000 to cover “direct cost, overhead and a fraction of our lost profit.”

old, cross-water debt.

Mexico will transfer enough water to the United States to cover a debt that Texas has claimed that Mexico has owed under a 1944 treaty. That water-sharing pact requires Mexico to send the United States an average of 350,000 acre-feet of water annually from six Rio Grande tributaries. The United States in return must send Mexico 1.5 million acre feet from the Colorado River.

Tm delighted that we have been able to reach this understanding,” Rice said.

Later, Rice traveled to a financial center in the city’s historic district to announce a $lO million grant to support the expansion of a financing program that provides Mexican citizens with banking services and small business loans.

Rice said progress has been made in se-

curing the border since Sept. 11, 2001. But she also said the United States is obligated to alert its citizens of concerns.

President George W. Bush’s former national security adviser faced a diplomatic test in her first visit to Mexico. She discussed with Derbez immigration, border'issues, free trade and economic growth.

Recendy, Mexican politicians have accused the Bush administration of interfering with Mexico’s internal affairs.

They have denounced U.S. officials’ comments about human rights abuses, drug trafficking and possible election related

Analyses of problems “should always be done from a multilateral perspective,” Macedo said during an anti-terrorism conference in Madrid. “When one country unilaterally evaluates [another], we ’ don’t agree with that. This has caused much irritation in Mexico.”

Outside Derbez’s office, a small group ofanti-U.S. protesters hurled tomatoes at a photo of Rice, then unsuccessfully targeted a car with her inside as it pulled away.

Mexico was angered by a recent U.S. travel warning for Americans going to Mexico’s northern border. Yet both Rice and Derbez praised relations in a news conference.

Mexican officials called the atmosphere one of friendship and cooperation.

Rice spoke of “a close neighbor and friend” and said the neighbors “shared a partnership of prosperity.”

Rice made the one-day trip to Mexico to with President Vicente Fox and Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez. Emerging from her meeting with Derbez, Rice said the United States, Canada and Mexico have been cooperating better on border security over the past few years, and the three countries must continue their efforts.

“We are all concerned about terrorists and how they might use our very long and porous borders,” Rice said. “The terrorists are going to keep trying. They’re going to keep trying on our Southern border. They’re going to keep trying on our Northern border.”

Rice also announced that the United States and Mexico had setded a decadesmeet

Prior to Rice’s meeting with Fox, Mexican Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha reiterated his country’s annoyance at recent U.S. government reports critical of Mexico.

FUNDING

in the black. Katherine Ewing, chair of the council, affirmed the possibility of increased funding.

A bigger budget would require administrative support—support that George McLendon, dean of the faculty ofArts and Sciences, seemed ready to offer. McLendon, who was not at the meeting, has previously suggested expanding the committee’s functions. For instance, faculty might make decisions about grants for hosting conferences at Duke.

McLendon has voiced his intention to raise the amount of research funding, the other portion of the committee’s budget, Ewing said, but he has not yet given an exact number.

“He’s talking about something like doubling it,” she estimated.

New and old issues plague the allocation of this money, currently $138,500 per year.

Last year, the committee received 68 applications for grants, which have a $5OOO limit.

“Everyone asks for the max,” Rasmussen said. “I’m being facetious,” she admitted, “but many people do.”

Subcommittees from the divisions of humanities, social sciences and natural sciences evaluate the merits of each proposal.

Applications from junior faculty or those who lack alternative resources, for example, get special consideration.

Partial funding is often awarded in an effort to fund as many of the qualified proposals as possible, Rasmussen explained.

Council members questioned the distribution of money across the three divisions, which is proportional to the number ofapplications received from professors in each discipline. Ewing pointed out that interdisciplinary work, an increasing focus of the

University, can complicate the process.

One well-received suggestion was publicizing the names of faculty who win the grants. This would be “good information to have in the Duke Dialogue,” said Lee Baker, associate professor ofcultural anthropology.

Other concerns included the lateness of the application deadline, the $5,000 cap and the small number of applications, particularly outside the humanities.

Another issue under discussion was the possibility of using research money to pay for subventions, fees that some research publishers now charge for printing academic works. Rasmussen, however, argued that the amount of money needed would be far beyond the committee’s resources. “[Paying for subventions] is something that I would hope the University would be moving toward,” said lan Baucom, associate professor of English. He suggested, however, that the Committee

on Faculty Research is not best positioned to address the issue.

Significant changes to the committee will require money. Although McLendon has suggested that more could become available, he has not said from where those resources would come.

“We’re sort of operating with a dearth of information in terms of the big picture,” Ewing said.

In other business:

Faculty unanimously approved a new certificate program in politics, philosophy and economics.

Among others, students eyeing a career in law should be particularly interested in the program, said Alex Rosenberg, professor of philosophy. The most capable students, he added, would particularly benefit from a coherent program addressing the connections between these disciplines.

NOTICE? Your rights may be affected by class action lawsuits .

filed in Arizona, the District of Columbia, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin (the “Settling States”). Courts in the Settling States have preliminarily approved two settlement agreements (the “Settlement Agreements”) which; (1) provide for partial settlements of these lawsuits with Defendant International Paper Company (“IP”) and DefendantsPanolam Industries International and Pioneer Plastics Corporation(collectively “Panolam”), (2) appoint counsel for the Settlement Classes (“Class Counsel”), and (3) schedule hearings to consider the fairness, adequacy, and reasonablenessof the proposed settlements. The lawsuits will continue against theremaining Defendants.

WHAT ARE THE LAWSUITS ABOUT? Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated persons and entities in the Settling Stales, allege that IP, Panolam, Formica Corporation, Premark International, Inc. and Wilsonart International, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”) unlawfully conspired to fix, raise, maintain, or stabilize the pricS of high pressure laminates (“HPL”), and that such conduct violated the antitrust and/or consumer protection laws of the Settling States. IP and Panolam deny these allegations.

WHAT ARE HPL AND HPL-CONTAINING PRODUCTS? “HPL” or high pressure laminates are composite structures composed of multiple layers of melamine-impregnated paper, foil or plastic bonded together on the top with resin-impregnated paper under pressure (typically 10001400 psi), which are heated to form a single monostructural sheet or panel. “HPL-Containing Products” are products containing or made from HPL in whole or in part (for example, HPL kitchen cabinets).

WHO IS AN INDIRECT PURCHASER? An indirect purchaser is a person or entity; (1) who bought HPL manufactured or sold by Defendants from someone other than Defendants or their subsidiaries or affiliates, or (2) who purchased an HPL-Containing Product.

WHO IS IN THE SETTLEMENT CLASSES? All natural persons and entities (excluding Government Entities) who indirectly purchased HPL manufactured or sold by the Defendants from entities other than Defendants or purchased HPL-Containing Products and did so within one or more of the Settling States at any time during the period January 1, 1994 through June 30, 2000 are in the Settlement Classes.

If you are a member of the Settlement Classes, you need not take any action. Your rights as a beneficiary of the Settlement Agreements will be represented by Class Counsel. If you elect toremain in the Settlement Classes, and the Settlement Agreements are finally approved by courts in the Settling States, you will be bound by the terms of the Settlement Agreements, including the release of claims against IP and Panolam.

If you wish to exclude yourself from the Settlement Classes you must submit a Request for Exclusion to Plaintiffs’ Co-Lead Counsel postmarked on or before May 21, 2005, at the address under the last heading.

WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT TERMS? In exchange for the release of claims by the Settlement Classes, IP has agreed to pay $4,000,000 and Panolam $1,225,785 (collectively the “Settlement Amounts”) for the benefit of Class Members in the Settling Slates to be

allocated on the basis of the Settling Stales’ respective populations, minus Court-approved costs, expenses, class representative incentive awards, and attorneys’ fees up to 33 percent of the Settlement Amounts, which will be determined by the Supervisory Court in Tennessee.

Plaintiffs’ Co-Lead Counsel currently plan to defer any request for Court approval of a plan of distributionof the Settlement Amounts, minus Court-approved costs, expenses, class representative incentive awards, and attorneys’ fees, until the litigation has been resolved with the remaining Defendants. At that lime, Plaintiffs’ Co-Lead Counsel will submit a plan of distribution to the Court that, depending on the amount of any additional recoveries or settlements with the remaining Defendants, will either provide for distributionof all amounts recovered in the litigation, less Court-approved costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, to; (1) Class Members through a Courtapproved claims process; or (2) Court-approved cy pres plans of distribution to public and/or non-profit entities that use HPL or HPL-Containing Products, if a claims process is not appropriate due to the impracticability of processing a potentially large number of claims and the high cost of doing so relative to the small size of likely payments to individual Class Members. If cy pres plans of distribution are used, payments will not be made directly to Class Members.

WHAT IS THE SETTLEMENT APPROVAL PROCEDURE? The Supervisory Court in Tennessee will hold a fairness hearing on June 14, 2005. Courts in the other Settling States have scheduled fairness hearings at the locations and on the dates and limes listed for each participating state in the full Notices.

At the fairness hearings, the Courts will consider, among other matters, whether the Settlements should be granted final approval as fair, adequate, and reasonable, and in the best interests of the Settlement Classes.

SPRING BREAK from page 1 to the cobblestoned streets ofParis to see a friend studying abroad.

Unlike the students who are seeking out prime vacation spots, freshman Dan Neville will be going home to chilly Erie, Pa. “I’m just going for family and stuff,” he said, “and to go skiing.” But after some thought, Neville admitted that he was mostly excited to be showing off his temporary mullet haircut with shaved-in lightening bolts Expensive or not, well-planned or spurof-the-moment, spring break plans were on the tip of students’ tongues all throughout the week.

Some are giving up the wilder perceptions of spring break for the tranquility of a family visit. Many students are discovering the joys of spending time at home.“Because I live so far away, I don’t get to make it home that often, so I go

when I can,” said freshman Madison Shoop, a native of Malibu, Calif.

Sophomores liana Jacobs and Nicole Arkin chatted about their spring break plans in between study sessions at Alpine Atrium. Both girls also have family members in mind for their week away from Duke. Jacobs, who is from the D.C. area, is still debating whether to see her cousin in Charleston or to stay at home for the entire break. Arkin, on the other hand, will be visiting her sister in San Francisco and looking forward to rustic adventures in hilly parts of California.

“My sister’s a climber so we’re probably going to go climbing and hiking,” Arkin said.

The financial ease of going home, compared to venturing on more exotic journeys, cannot be denied.

Sophomore Lauren Ostendorf is looking forward to a week of relaxation on a cruise from Florida to the Grand Bahamas Island, but she is a little short on cash.

“I had to buy a flight down to Ft. Lauderdale so I spent all the money that I was planning on spending on the trip,” she said with a laugh. “So basically I’m not going to eat when I’m there.”

Sophomore Katie Fike, who is going on the same cruise as Ostendorf and about twenty of their friends, found a more costeffective way of getting there. They are taking a road trip down to Ft. Lauderdale before hopping on the cruise and spending four nights on the island.

Fike, who organized the cruise, was initially attracted to the vacation because of the affordable cost.

“I heard about the trip from some ofmy guy friends,” she said. “I checked it out online, and it was only $400.”

There is another cruise ship leaving on Sunday that will go to the same hotel. Although the specific number of people going is unavailable, students estimated

that these two cruises will be carrying about 100 Duke students, including members from several sororities and fraternities.

“We didn’t know all these people were going when we signed up,” said sophomore Ali Herman. “We are all definitely going to hang out on the beach a lot and have fun during the day. There are going to be clubs there, so that’s where we’ll go at night.”

Further north in the Caribbean, on the other hand, the Duke Chorale’s vacation will be more business than pleasure.

‘We’re flying to Puerto Rico and we’ll be performing a couple of times,” sophomore David Kim said. “Other times, we’ll probably be practicing.”

Tanning or singing, it seems that the one campus-wide consensus on spring break is that students are there to get away from the anxieties of Duke. “I just want to get away from school for a while,” Ostendorf said.

Duke tries Blue Devils to face Virginia in ACCs to roll by Loyola by

THE CHRONICLE

The men’s lacrosse team is coming off one of its best weeks in recent memory.

After defeating both then-No. 3 Maryland and 17th-ranked Penn State, the Blue Devils have climbed to fourth in the national rankings. But their week is not over.

“Two-thirds of the job is done now,” head coach Mike Pressler said. “The toughest third will be the last third, the Loyola Greyhounds.”

When No. 4 Duke (5-0) takes on Loyola (0-2) 3 p.m. Saturday at Koskinen Stadium it will attempt to start a season with six wins for the first time since 1999, when it reached the NCAA quarterfinals.

“We have had a hell of a week,” Pressler said. “If we don’t finish it, it will take the luster off the first two wins.”

The team is shooting the ball extremely well aT3-2 percent on the season. The Blue Devils are led by two talented underclassman attackers. Sophomore Matt Danowski has consistently showed superb passing and scoring ability in recording 19 points, while freshman Zack Greer leads the nation with 21 goals.

Meanwhile Duke’s defense has been a stopping force all season, allowing only 6.6 goals per game.

“Defensively we have the capability to hold teams to single digit goals,” Danowski said. “That’s what we look for every game.”

The defense is anchored by senior goalie Aaron Fenton, who allowed only one goal against Penn State.

WOMEN'S LACROSSE

Duke gears up for toughest stretch by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

Duke will play a pair of games over the break against Loyola and eighth-ranked North Carolina.

The upset bug has bitten the ACC Tournament.

First No. 9-seed Clemson—a team probably not even headed for the NIT, much less the NCAA Tournament—beat No. 8 Maryland, 84-72, in a game that was not really even as close as the score indicates, possibly bursting the Terrapins’ Tournament bubble in the process.

No. 7 N.C. State was able to stave off the upset bug with a 70-54 victory over No. 10 Florida State, but it returned with a vengeance when No. 11 Virginia shook off a five-game losing streak to upset Tournament-hopeful Miami, 66-65.

The Hurricanes led for the entire second half before Virginia took the lead on a Devin Smith three-pointer with 2:30 to play. Miami made only one field goal over the last ten minutes and an open threepoint attempt by Anthony Harris that would have won the game for the Hurricanes fell short as time expired.

The No. 3 Blue Devils will hope to avoid an unexpected result against Virginia tonight in Washington, D.C., at 9:30 p.m.

Duke will look to advance to the conference semi-finals for the eighth season in a row, while the Cavaliers would put themselves in position to earn an NIT bid with a victory over the Blue Devils.

Virginia and Duke played just once this season due to the ACC’s unbalanced schedule, a surprisingly hard-fought 80-66 Blue Devil win Jfin. 16 in Durham.

Duke trailed by seven early and led by just six at the half before Blue Devil guard JJ. Redick scored 20 ofhis 28 points in the second half to lead his team to the win.

The sophomore sharpshooter made all four ofhis three-point attempts in the final frame, including three in a three-minute

Through the first five games of the regular season, the Blue Devils have outscored their opponents by an astounding 82-31 margin.

But next week Duke faces three top-10 teams —North Carolina, Princeton and Georgetown—who last year combined to go 3-2 against the Blue Devils and outscore them 51-44.

The fourth-ranked women’s lacrosse team (5-0, 1-0 in the ACC) has trampled lesser competition thus far, but the hardest stretch of their schedule begins in Durham Saturday at noon against the No. 8 Tar Heels.

“These are three of the most important games of our season,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “I think they will be a good test, and I think we’ll have a better understanding of where we are.”

Duke beat UNC in both of the teams’

meetings a year ago, including a 7-6 sudden-death overtime victory in Chapel Hill during the regular season. But Kimel said the Tar Heels are vastly improved this season.

“They’re a very scrappy, tough team,” senior Caline McHenry said. “We expect them to be very competitive and very

tough-nosed.”

Since its Final Four run in 2002, North Carolina has struggled with depth and leadership issues. But entering this year, UNC head coach Jenny Levy said that larger freshman and sophomore classes have helped fill in the gaps in the midfield that haunted the Tar Heels a year ago and prevented them from earning an NCAA bid.

“The underclassmen have really brought in some more speed that we’ve lacked the last couple of years,” Levy said.

MARYLAND from page 10

VIRGINIA from page 10 part of a 3-13 slide from the pinnacle of a Top-25 ranking in late December.

Reynolds made 10 of 14 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, and got virtually no support from his teammates until a 9-4 game-closing run.

“J.R. was spectacular,” Gillen said.

“Without him, we lose by double figures.”

Devin Smith, who was l-for-9 at the time, hit a three-pointer with 2:26 to play to give Virginia its first lead of the second half, 62-61. Freshman Sean Singletary also struggled all game, but he made a tough short jumper in traffic to push the lead to three.

But the game was in the balance until literally the final second. Guillermo Diaz made two free throws with 22 seconds remaining to pull Miami within one, 66-65. .Anthony King then stole an errant inbounds pass, giving the Hurricanes the chance to set up the final shot for the win. Harris could not have had a better look, but he was off target.

“We did not want to shoot a three,” coach Frank Haith said. “We were trying to attack. Guillermo made a nice play, made a nice kickout, and Anthony had a wide open shot.”

Diaz finished with 20 points, his 26th consecutive double-digit game, to lead Miami (16-12), but he made just 5 of 15 shots. The Hurricanes shot 31 percent from the field and made just one field goal in the game’s final 10 minutes.

Miami, picked to finish last in the conference in the preseason poll, entered its first ACC tournament as the No, 6 seed in Haith’s first season as a head coach, but the loss probably ends any hope of receiving an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. The Hurricanes have lost five of their last six.

“We missed a lot of shots around the hoop,” Haith said. ‘We just didn’t shoot the ball well. Virginia changed defenses, a lot of zone and man-to-man, but I thought we missed a lot of wide open shots, too. I thought we rushed some shots.”

Gillen shook up his lineup, giving freshman center Tunji Soroye his first start of the season while bringing Reynolds and Elton Brown off the bench.

W. LACROSSE

MICHAEL CHANGI/THE CHRONICLE

When the Blue Devils faced Virginia in January, Duke won a hard-fought 80-66 victory at home.

PREVIEW from page 9 stretch that helped Duke pull away.

“They spurted early in the second half, and they turned up the juice a little bit,” Virginia head coach Pete Gillen said. “We got some point blank shots. We got some good shots, we just couldn’t finish.”

Shelden Williams was able to dominate the interior, contributing 16 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high nine blocks, coming one block short of the first Blue Devil triple-double since 1978.

Virginia has underperformed during the ACC season; they were ranked No. 24 as late as December. Point guard Sean Singletary, a member of the ACC’s AllFreshman squad, runs the Cavalier offense and torched Duke for 21 points in the teams’ first meeting. With top Blue Devil defender Sean Dockery still recovering from a medical collateral ligament tear suffered March 3 against Georgia Tech, guard Daniel Ewing will likely be responsible for Singletary for most of the game.

Singletary ranks among the ACC’s top ten in assists, assist-to-turnover ratio and steals, but Duke’s defense was able to hound him into just two assists against four turnovers in the teams’ first meeting.

Williams will spend much of the

points per contest.

“You’re never going to completely stop him,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said of Brown Jan. 16. “But [Williams] did a good job on him.”

The Cavaliers’ top scorer is senior forward Devin Smith, who averages 17.0 points per game, fifth in the conference.

He is a good long distance shooter, who leads Virginia in three pointers made and attempted. Sophomore guard J.R. Reynolds also has the potential to score points in bunches. He averages just 9.9 points per game but exploded for 32 against Miami last night.

Although Duke has beaten Virginia 20 of the teams’ last 22 meetings, the first day of the ACC Tournament proved that the conference’s lower seeded teams are talented enough to pull off some surprises. The Blue Devils had better watch out for the upset bug.

M. LACROSSE

from page 9

“We have more speed and more numbers back on our team.”

Duke will counter with a fiery offense, headed byjunior Katie Chrest and sophomore Kristen Waagbo, who have tallied 20 and 18 goals, respecdvely. Eight of Duke’s players have scored at least five goals already this season.

Because of the rivalry between the two schools and the competitiveness of last season’s two meetings, Chrest expects the contest to be hard fought.

“I think the biggest thing we’re going to have to do is take care of the ball and win the hustle categories because they’re going to come out fired up and wanting to win those,” Chrest said. “Whoever wins those—time of possession as well as the 5050 situations—is going to be the winner.”

As the rest of Duke students relax on the beach and are away from Durham next week, the team will host No. 2 Princeton Wednesday and visit Washington, D.C. for a contest with No. 5 Georgetown March 19.

The Hoyas eliminated the Blue Devils in the opening round of last year’s NCAA Championship 13-12 in overtime and advanced to the Final Four. The Tigers made it even further but lost to Virginia in the National Championship game.

Kimel said both teams run a “deliberate” offense and are patient and selective,

evening banging with the Cavaliers’ Elton Brown. Brown, a wide-bodied center with a soft touch around the basket and a knack for grabbing rebounds, got intofoul trouble in the teams’ first game and finished with just 11 points in 26 minutes.

He remains one of the best big men in the ACC, finishing the season tied for third in the conference with 8.3 boards per game and scoring 13.1

can only blame themselves. Maryland shot 35 percent, missed 10 free throws and committed 23 turnovers.

Maryland won the ACC Tournament last year with an improbable run, beating the third, second and top-seeded teams. This time, however, the Terrapins could not eradicate the inconsistency that plagued them throughout the regular season.

Chris McCray led the Terrapins with 24 points and Nik Caner-Medley had 14 on 5-for-17 shooting. John Gilchrist, a star in the ACC Tournament last year, missed six of seven shots and scored just four points. He played only two minutes in the second half because of a sore ankle.

Clemson led 55-50 before reserve Olu Babalola made a three-point play and a three-pointer to expand the margin to 11, and the Terrapins never got closer than nine points.

Robinson was marvelous from long range, going 6-for-8 beyond the arc. His proficiency from the outside made up for a quiet performance by center Sharrod Ford.

Ford had 24 points, 10 rebounds and nine blocks in the last game between the teams, a 97-93 Clemson victory at Maryland on Feb. 22. This time, Ford finished with six points and eight rebounds after a scoreless first half in which he grabbed only two rebounds.

Maryland played without reserve freshman forward James Gist, who sprained a knee in practice earlier in the week. He suited up, but did not participate in warmups and watched the entire game from the end of the bench.

Gist started two games this season and was averaging 6.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 17 minutes a game.

Robinson went 4-for-5 from beyond the arc and scored 14 points to stake the slowstarting Tigers to a 39-36 halftime lead.

Clemson committed turnovers on each of its first six possessions and failed to get off a shot over the opening 2 1/2 minutes. Led by McCray, who made three 3-pointers and scored 12 points before four minutes had elapsed, Maryland led 8-0 and 16-6.

But compared to a year ago, the Blue Devils have more experience and should be able to focus solely on lacrosse next week, without the distractions of other students and schoolwork.

“We’re more talented this year,” Kimel said. “I think we’re a better team with a better offense, and our defense is deeper.

While we are better, they’re still going to be great games for us.”

former Blue Devil Matt Monfett. The senior transferred after his sophomore season at Duke after finishing fourth on the team in scoring with 34 points.

Although Pressler downplayed the importance of going up against a former player, many upperclassman feel as if they have something to prove to Monfett.

“I don’t want that kid to score or get one point or anything,” Fenton said. “I will do my best to hold him to nothing. Going against an old teammate of mine motivates me to play better and to focus better.”

In Loyola’s 16-14 loss to Penn State, Monfett netted four goals, but Duke players said Loyola is a more dangerous team than that indicates.

“We are not taking them lightly,” Fenton said. “I think they are a better team than Penn State.”

Fenton has more personal feeling against Loyola than other teammates. His first collegiate start was against the Greyhounds last year, where he recorded 18 saves and his first win.

After the Loyola game, Duke has a full week off before playing North Carolina in Chapel Hill March 19. Even with the Tar Heels looming and the perfect record in tact, Pressler said his team is

War on Spring Break

My

fellow citizens, I speak to you via Chronicle column to informyou of a great danger that is about to infiltrate U.S. cities today. While we continue to fight the internationalwar on terrorism, spreading our wings of democracy and saving nations around the world with our god-given American talents, we face domestic terrorists that have been identified by the Department of Homeland Securitas as “Duke students,” who will strike fear everywhere next week under their secret code: “Spring Break.”

We have experienced this type of domestic terrorism every March in the Gothic Wonderland, where the evildoers shed their winter coats to bask in the beaches of Florida, Mexico and Puerto Rico in order to enjoy a week away from our nation that is Duke. The Department ofHomeland Securitas has identified their weapon of mass destruction as alcohol, which—when imbibed in large quantities as outlined in the Spring Break plan —may result in memorable times.

My fellow Americans, be afraid.

Unlike our international evildoers, our domestic enemies are easily recognizable. On this so-called mission of Spring Break, Duke students will travel in hordes through means of four-passenger vehicles that blast grandmotherunfriendly music, while they hang out for the sake of hanging out. They will infiltrate clubs and bars at night, periodically possessing the weapon of beer, and they will dance into the wee MB hours of mornings until Mi they can no longer dance. p Together, they will act radi- ' cally and sporadically, and mlho kubagawa we will retaliate. d.scere vivendo We will retaliate because these terrorists display a behavior over Spring Break that, if infiltrated onto our campus, would disrupt the very academic environment that stands on the pillars offreedom and democracy. We will not tolerate Duke students or their WMDs. We will retaliate by declaring our War on Spring Break, which will occur in a three-phase plan. We have just completed Phase One, where we have taken a hard-nosed stance against these evildoers by implementing in the world’s best “faculitary” the right to academic empowerment. By collectively assigning longer mundane problem sets, harder midterms and multiple inessendal papers in the span of five days, the coalition of the faculitary have stifled these Duke students from pursuing an engaging and personal learning lifestyle. God bless America.

From Phase One, we have successfully suppressed the terrorists not only from Beirut tournaments, but also television, poker, pick-up basketball games, leisure reading and dinner dates. We have successfully limited any type of meaningful communication among them by enforcing review session marathons and extra busy work and being intolerant to free time. Through our actions, we are not only denying their access to the weapon of mass destruction, but we are denying their access to viable experiences and overall fun, with or without WMDs. The evidence of our success is clear; the terrorists now silendy congregate in the Gothic Reading Room or Perkins Library with e-reserves and practice midterms in hand, rather than engage in genuine conversations in dorm rooms or restaurants.

Americans, these evildoers must continue to be weakened first, before being conquered.

Today, we enter Phase Two, where the expected terrorists’ plans of Spring Break will be implemented. Ultimately, this will be our biggest obstacle. On this mission of Spring Break, these terrorists will reconnect with other terrorists, families and neighbors and will be reminded of a former lifestyle that included personal choice. These evildoers will once again implement the WMD to full capacity and, by returning to some form of a life, the Duke students will have fun.

Again, this Spring Break mission poses a great danger to our society. Duke students will return and do astonishing harm to the great nation of Duke University if we do not counteract the dangers of Phase Two. Therefore, our Administration is already working hard through the coalition of the faculitary to ensure that the workload in Phase One is re-implemented after Spring Break through Phase Three, with the same execution of merciless busy work and unrelenting deadlines.

Fellow citizens, let me make thisclear. Our Administration will continue to refuse to acknowledge the importance of social interactions and personal experiences in higher learning.

The evildoers will be silenced, and victory will be ours.

Let democracy reign. ,
