Grad school Amid complaints, DSG sets runoff

rankings dip slightly Adam Eagun THE CHRONICLE

by

U.S. News and World Report unveiled its 2006 graduate and professional school rankings last week, and the results showed little improvement for the University.

For the first time in more than a decade, only one ofDuke’s trio of prestigious professional schools ranked in the top 10—the School of Medicine.

The Fuqua School of Business maintained its ranking of 11, tying with the University of California at Los Angeles.

Duke’s School of Law also tied for 11th with Cornell University and the University of California at Berkeley after slipping one spot lower than last year’s ranlang.

Provost Peter Lange expressed optimism despite the lack of improvement but also emphasized that rankings should be only one of the many factors taken into consideration by prospective graduate students.

“Once again, we are gratified that the quality of our programs is reflected in the latest U.S. News and World Report rankings,” Lange said in an April 1 statement. “We know that magazine ratings, particularly of graduate and professional programs, are limited by the methodology used, and students interested in pursuing graduate or professional education should consider a wide range of factors.”

The Pratt School of Engineering lost some ground, sinking two places to its current location of 32nd. Among its specialized programs, however, the school’s vaunted biomedical engineering program rose to fourth, from sixth last year,

THE CHRONICLE

It’s back to the voting booths. The Duke Student GovernmentElection Commission finalized plans for a runoff election between presidential candidates Emily Aviki and Jesse Longoria. The election will take place Tuesday.

Russ Ferguson, the third presidential candidate, will not be on the runoffballot.

He has filed an official appeal to the DSG ChiefJustice, senior Emilie Lemke, saying Aviki should be disqualified for repeated campaign violations. The DSG Judiciary Committee, which Lemke chairs, will review the appeal and decide its merit. If the appeal is validated, then the Judiciary Committee will revisit the Election Commission’s ruling.

DSG Attorney General Elizabeth Lad-

ner said the decision to hold a runoff was related to Aviki’s actions. In the absence of a simple majority vote on election day, the winner must have a 10 percent lead over the runner-up, according to DSG bylaws. Longoria received 37 percent of the vote, Aviki won 33 percent and Ferguson garnered 29 percent.

The Election Commission conducted a two-day investigation after receiving evidence that suggested Aviki had placed an illegal link to the DSG voting website in her AOL Instant Messenger profile on election day, March 31. After deliberating over alleged campaign violations for four hours Saturday, the Election Commission banned Aviki, a junior, from campaigning in the days preceding the not

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. As threatening clouds rolled in and covered Klockner Stadium during the second half Saturday afternoon, rain was imminent. For a short time, it seemed that a Duke collapse was just as likely.

The Blue Devils (9-2, 3-1 in the ACC) built an 11-3 halftime lead over Virginia, but after the break DUKE I” the Cavaliers (6-2, 12 2-1) stormed back VIRGINIA and were scoring goals quickly. Junior Katie Chrest would not let the nation’s No. 2 team get any closer than three goals, however, as No. 5 Duke held on for the 16-12 victory.

Duke moves into a three-way tie with Virginia and North Carolina atop the nation’s best conference. With the three ACC teams ranked within the top five in the nation, the win was the biggest of the season to date for the Blue Devils.

“It puts us in a better position for the conference tournament,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “For us though right now, we have to do a better job in the second half offensively than we did.

“We had built ourselves a nice lead in the first half so we were able to play that way and get away with it.”

The Cavaliers penetrated the Blue Devils’ defense and had several long uncontested runs at the cage as they sliced Duke’s lead in half in the first 12 minutes of the second period. Virginia’s leading scorer Tyler Leachman connected on two of her four goals during that stretch. >

Senior Catholic Clergy recite prayers over the body of Pope John Paul II in the private chapel of the Vatican.

“The angels welcome you,” Vatican TV said after papal spokesperson Joaquin Navarro-Valls announced the death of the pope, who had for years suffered from Parkinson’s disease and came down with fever and infections in recent weeks.

In contrast to the church’s ancient traditions, Navarro-Valls announced the death to journalists in the most modem of

VATICAN CITY Pope John Paul 11, who helped topple communism in Europe and left a deeply conservative stamp on the church that he led for 26 years, died Saturday night in his Vatican apartment, ending a long public struggle against debilitating illness. He was 84.

“We all feel like orphans this evening,” Undersecretary of State Archbishop Leonardo Sandri told the crowd of 70,000 that had gathered in St. Peter’s Square below the pope’s still-lighted apartment windows.

In the massive piazza that stretches from St. Peter’s Basilica, the assembled flock fell into a stunned silence before some people broke into applause —an Italian tradition in which mourners often clap for important figures. Others wept.

Still others recited the rosary. A seminarian slowly waved a large red and white Polish flag draped with black bunting for the Polish-born pontiff, the most-traveled pope in history.

At one point, prelates asked all those in the square to stay silent so that they might “accompany the pope in his first steps into heaven.”

But as the Vatican bells tolled in mourning, a group of young people sang, “Alleluia, he will rise again.” One strummed a guitar, and other pilgrims joined in singing the “Ave Maria.”

Student Affairs to reconsider scholarship by

PETER

GEBHARD/THECHRONICLE

Senior Bianca Forde purchases ticketsfor The Vagina Monologues under Provost Peter Lange's successful subsidized ticket program.

Provost’s subsidy boosts by

Jasten McGowan THE CHRONICLE

When Provost Peter Lange decided to address the issue of paltry student attendance at Duke’s abundance of high-quality arts performances, his office came up with an obvious solution to the problem; cheaper tickets.

“We wanted students to be able to say, ‘l’ve got $5, I can go to the ballet, even if I can’t manage to make it a movie night,”’ said Richard Riddell, theater studies professor and Lange’s then-special assistant, who helped formulate the plan. “This is the first time we really looked at the entire student body and how we could enhance the experience for everyone.”

In past years subsidized tickets were offered almost exclusively to students attending events for classes. But since August the provost’s ticket initiative has allowed students to attend performances attracted to campus by Duke Performances, the Department of Theater Studies and the Duke University Union for just $5—discounted from regular prices as high as $45.

Lange implemented the program last year through his “discretionary budget,” following the model of a similar program at Dartmouth College. “I felt that there were a

arts

lot ofcultural events on campus that students were missing out on,” Lange said. “I think this is a major component to the cultural element on campus.”

In response, students have flocked to performances this academic year in record numbers, grabbing seats at events ranging from last month’s nicholasleichterdance performances to the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra’s sell-out show in January. Duke’s undergraduate and graduate students have purchased more than 4,800 tickets so far, compared to 1,700 last year—an increase of more than 300 percent—said Kathy Silbiger, adjunct associate professor of arts management and program director of the Institute of the Arts.

Employees of Duke Performances—the group that sponsors the majority of events offering the subsidized tickets—said the number of students attending major arts and theater events has grown substantially, with graduate students accounting for the majority ofstudent ticket sales.

“In general there’s been more of a buzz across campus, more of an emphasis on people trying to help out with the arts,” Silbiger said.

Skyward Darby THE CHRONICLE

The University confirmed this week that the Student Affairs Leadership Assistance Program—a scholarship offered to three student leaders each year—may be on its way out the door.

Created in the 1970 s so students could devote more time to their leadership positions, SALAP currendy allows the Duke Student Government president, Duke University Union president and one co-director of the Community Service Center to take four courses over the summer and two courses each semester during the year.

Because the reduced course load during the school year qualifies the leaders as part-time students, they only pay half tuition. The University pays for the students’ summer tuition, room and board.

Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said Sunday no final decision about the program’s future has been made. He said administrators will communicate with student leaders in the coming weeks to assess the need for the program and its impact on recipients before deciding to cut it.

Moneta said SALAP promotes the idea that student leadership deserves compensation—a mode of thought he and other administrators do not agree with. SALAP also presents problems for student leaders, Moneta explained, because it encourages them to shoulder an extracurricular workload that competes with their academic careers.

“It is an objective of mine... to make sure people aren’t doing too much,” he said. “Our bigger responsibility is to ensure that there are no student leadership roles that require a level of investment that puts academic focus at risk.”

Moneta said administrators have been considering eliminating SALAP for years. DSG President Pasha Majdi, a senior, said he and other student leaders first heard rumors about the potential change about a week ago.

“Somebody said it was brought to my attention a long time ago, but I dispute that,” Majdi said, noting that he and several other student leaders met with President Richard Brodhead to discuss the issue last Wednesday.

Majdi would not discuss details of their conversation.

Majdi expressed concern that cutting SALAP would cause student leaders to “break down under stress” or di-

Overnight infirmary: A thing of the past by

Diana Ni

THE CHRONICLE

Students suffering from illness have not had the chance to spend the night—and be monitored by trained nurses —at the Student Health Center since the University tossed out its last overnight bed in 2002.

Although this particular care aspect has disappeared, the majority of students are not aware of this loss, and only a select few believe they would have benefited from the overnight attention.

Last semester, freshman Roberto Bazzani awoke with severely inflamed tonsils and an inability to swallow. He was diagnosed with mononucleosis at the West Campus clinic that morning. He flew home the next day and took three weeks to recover.

“At my condition of mono, I don’t know if I would even have used the overnight infirmary although I definitely would have stayed there before my glands swelled up to the point they were,” Bazzani said. “If the infirmary had been there, I would have stayed a couple of nights just so my condition wouldn’t have worsened.”

Even though the bed space helped ill students that nurses felt should be observed, the unit barely averaged 1.1 students each night in 2002 although it had enough staffand resources for 10 students.

Most students never used the facility.

“I never really had a night-time problem that bad,” seniorJeannie Chen said. “I suppose ifI did, I would just go to Duke Med’s Emergency Department. I think the people who need that can find a bed at Duke Med.” Originally, an 18-to-20-bed unit was located in the building that now houses the Pre-Major Advising Center on East Campus. Nurses provided overnight care for students like Bazzani.

Twenty years ago, it moved to the fourth floor of the Duke Clinic Building.

This 10-bed unit provided 24-hour walk-in services with triage nurses for students with conditions such as mononucleosis, colds, urinary tract infections and alcohol overuse—all covered under the student health plan. The overnight stays had the benefit of providing “mother-type care” and a nice place for students with stress

The Student Health Center was originally slated to include an overnight care facility, but plans were scrapped because of a lack of space and funds. and mental health issues to spend a day or two, said Jean Hanson, administrative director for Student Health.

When the Student Health Center moved from its fourth-floor facility to its current location in Duke Hospital South, plans for the new clinic included a fourbed unit. But lack of space and funds led to the elimination of overnight bed program in 2002.

“It was a service that sounds good on paper but is probably not as necessary as it seemed years ago,” said Dr. William Purdy, assistant clinical professor and interim medical director for Student

maintain it we would have, and one of the things that we’re constandy working on is helping students move away from the dependence of their families and their home and out into the real world.”

In fact, most universities are trending away from overnight infirmaries, including Williams College, George Washington University and Bowdoin College. Dartmouth College, Middlebury College and the University of Connecticut still maintain their overnight infirmaries.

“In many ways, all we’ve lost is the bed,” Hanson said. “We haven’t lost the care or the nurses.”

Health. “With a new working agreement with the Emergency Department [at Duke], from the financial point of view, it made sense to close it.”

Purdy noted the Emergency Department provides a clinical evaluation unit with a 12 to 14-bed capacity where patients are kept for observation. Also, while the Student Health Center may no longer offer overnight beds, it still provides services until 10 p.m. and 24-hour telephone access to a nurse’s advice.

“It was a very nice thing to have, and we’re sorry for the care part that we don’t have,” Hanson said. “If we had been able

from the Americas

by Brian Murphy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The inVATICAN CITY guessing game over who will be the next pope has only one certainty: the cardinals will decide whether to follow John Paul II with another non-Italian or hand the papacy back to its traditional caretakers.

The Polish-born John Paul was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. He brought a new vitality to the Vatican and challenged parochial attitudes throughout the church. One view holds that the papal electors will want to maintain the spirit by recognizing the Roman Catholic centers of gravity outside Europe in Latin America and Africa.

Another theory suggests that the Italians will press to reclaim the papacy after John Paul’s 26year reign—the third-longest in history.

There is no clear favorite when the 117 cardinals begin their secret conclave later this month.

But names often mentioned as “papabile” —the Italian word for possible papal candidates—include Cardinal Francis Arinze, a Vatican-based Nigerian, and Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes.

Arinze, 72, converted to tense

Roman Catholicism as a child and shares some of John Paul’s conservative views on contraception and family issues. But he brings a unique element: representing a nation shared between Muslims and Christians at the time when interfaith relations assumes growing urgency. If elected, he would be the first black pope of modern times.

Hummes, 70, is archbishop of Sao Paolo, Brazil, and urges more attention to fighting poverty and the effects of a globalized economies. His supporters note that Brazil’s role as a Latin American political and economic heavyweight could help the Vatican counter the popularity of emerging evangelical churches in the region.

Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodiguez Maradiaga of Honduras, the 62-year-old archbishop of Tegucigalpa, is also mentioned as a possible candidate. But he could be too much of a break for Vatican conservatives. He has studied clinical psychology and has a dynamic, outspoken style.

Among Italians, Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, the archbishop of Milan, is a moderate with natural pastoral abilities and an easy style that appeals to the SEE SELECTION ON PAGE 9

“He was a marvelous man.

Now he’s no longer suffering,” Concetta Sposato, a pilgrim who heard the pope had died as she was on her way to St. Peter’s to pray, said tearfully.

“My father died last year. For me, it feels the same,” said Elisabetta Pomacalca, a 25-year-old Peruvian who lives in Rome.

“I’m Polish. For us, he was a father,” said pilgrim Beata Sowa.

A Mass was scheduled for St. Peter’s Square for 10:30 a.m.

(4:30 a.m. EDT) Sunday. The pope’s body was expected to be taken to the basilica no earlier than Monday afternoon, the Vatican said.

It said the College of Cardinals—the red-robed “princes” of the Roman Catholic Church—would meet at 10 a.m.

Black supports lottery, warns of dangers by

William Holmes

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH If North Carolina is going to have a lottery, House Speaker Jim Black wants it to be kind and genteel, mindful of gambling addicts and poor people who do not have money to squander on dreams of longshot wealth.

Lottery opponents say there is no way such good intentions will last—and researchers and lottery operators say such a plan will invariably limit the very profits that many see as justifying a numbers game.

Black recently came out in favor of a game—but only if there are limits on how much is spent on advertising.

The leader of the Democratic majority in the House—which traditionally has been the primary impediment to passing any pro-lottery legislation—says all he wants to do is recapture the estimated $3OO million spent by North Carolinaresidents on lotteries in neighboring states.

“As the revenues decline, as happened in other states, I’m not in favor of this high-powered advertising because SEE LOTTERY ON PAGE 12

then that the Duke attack would be fearless and relentless.

Flannery’s hit set the tone for a nine-goal run by the No. 2 Blue Devils (11-0), who led 9-2 halftime on the way to a decisive 21-8 victory over Ohio State (2-5) Sat-

urday. in

Duke’s offense has exploded recent weeks, scoring quickly

and continuing the onslaught throughout the game. The last time the team scored 20 goals in consecutive games was in 1999, when the Blue Devils made it to the NCAA quarterfinals. “[This game] was a continuation of how we have been playing the past couple of weeks,” head coach Mike Pressler said. “We are getting on people early and making them come from behind.”

Duke’s win clears the way for the televised matchup of the country’s top teams next weekend in Baltimore. When the Blue Devils face top-ranked John Hopkins Homewood Field, the Blue Jays, who play unranked Albany this week, should still be

undefeated as well “This win here is a big boost,” Fenton said. “We are going to go [into Baltimore] with everything we’ve got, it’s the biggest game of the year.”

After the Blue Devils opened up a seven-goal lead at the half, they doubled it, coming out firing in the third quarter and scoring seven straight.

“There’s always that fear of teams coming back,” midfielder Kyle Dowd said. “We stay on them, jump on them and then put them away.”

The second half began with an entry pass through traffic from Matt Danowski to Zack Greer, who scored with ease. Danowski

and Greer paced the Blue Devils with four goals apiece.

“With a kid like Zack inside, you can throw it anywhere and it’s going to get to him,” Danowski said. “He can handle anything, so we try to throw it in there.”

Duke continues to exhibit balanced scoring as 10 players recorded a goal and seven finished with more than one point.

“We are just sharing the ball as a team,” Dowd said. “We have six different guys that can score.”

Last year, Ohio State upset Duke 16-9 in Columbus. Pressler attributes the different outcome this year to the experience of his team and its relendess style of play.

“Last year we didn’t come

ready to play,” goalie Aaron Fenton said. “We were really confident and they just took it to us.

This year we had a lot of payback and wanted to give them a long bus ride home.”

Fenton only faced eight shots in the first half, crediting team defense for the quick start.

Not even the weather, much less Ohio State, could stop the men’s lacrosse team from notching their new Duke-record 11th straight win.

The lightning, which evoked a 36-minute delay at the start of the fourth quarter, did nothing to halt the Blue Devil’s thunderous offense. Duke scored two quick goals shortly after the break in action.

Blue Devils split pair of decisive matches by

Will

Waggenspack THE CHRONICLE

Twice this weekend, it came down to the final match for the women’s tennis team.

Freshman Clelia Deltour stumbled in an unfamiliar position against No. 11 Miami, but senior Saras Arasu survived her match Sunday to MIAMI 4 lead the Blue DevDUKE 2 ils over No. 32 Florida State.

“We’re doing a FSU good job of getDUKE -4 ting on top, but we really have to work on finishing,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said.

The lOth-ranked Blue Devils defeated Florida State (9-8, 4-4 in the ACC) 4-3 Sunday after losing 4-3 to Miami the day before. Both matches were played inside the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center.

Coming off Saturday’s narrow loss to the Hurricanes (16-2, 7-0), Duke (12-5, 31) found itself in a similar situation Sunday as Arasu batded with FSU’s third-singles player with the team score tied at 3.

Arasu had dropped the first set 6-4 before storming back to take the second 6-2 behind aggressive, well-placed shots.

“I just didn’t feel like I was moving well.

I wasn’t hitting the ball well,” Arasu said. “I told myself the second set is a brand new set. I started being a little more aggressive.”

When the senior jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the third, she began to play

more conservatively. It allowed her oppofight back to within a game at 5-4.

In the final game of the set, Arasu benefitted from a few unforced errors by her tiring opponent before crushing a backhand down the line that gave Duke the 4-3 victory.

In contrast to their energetic doubles performance against Miami, the Blue Devils came out flat against FSU. Katie Blaszak and Jackie Carleton quickly lost their match at No. 2 doubles 8-1. Kristin Cargill and partner Tory Zawacki then followed suit, losing 8-6 and giving FSU an early 1-0 lead.

“Today, we pulled a no-show in doubles.

That was really surprising,” Ashworth said.

Deltour and Cargill gave the Blue Devils their first points of the day as neither lost more than two games in a set at the four and five positions, respectively. Both were playing a spot higher than usual as Jennifer Zika sat out after having surgery. Carleton then put the Blue Devils ahead 3-1 with her second strong performance of the weekend, winning 6-1, 6-3.

Florida State, however, would not be so easily dispatched. The Seminoles came back to tie the score at three after Zawacki lost a grueling three-set match, 1-6, 64, 64, and Blaszak folded to her second ranked opponent of the weekend 7-5, 6-2. That left the match in the hands of Arasu, who pulled out the win.

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

Playing short-handed again, the No.l Blue Devils blew out the competition at the Bryan National Collegiate to capture their fifth consecutive title at the Browns Summitt, N.C. course.

Sophomore Brittany Lang entered the final round tied for fourth place but handled the windy conditions and beat out Golda Johansson of Tennessee for the individual crown. Lang, the 2004 ACC Rookie of the Year, finished even par for the tournament. The victory marks her Second of the season and fifth overall.

“Brittany did nothing spectacular,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “She just played tough and didn’t get bothered when she missed greens.”

Duke played without a fifth golfer earlier in the spring at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge and finished third. This time, the Blue Devils compensated for senior Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh’s absence with wrist tendonitis by having all four golfers finish in the top 16. Their efforts topped second-place Tennessee by 10 strokes.

The margin is the largest for Duke this season, which completed its regular season with seven tournament wins and two thirdplace finishes.

“I’m very proud of my team,” Brooks said. “They proved they can play under pressure and difficult conditions.”

Duke entered Sunday leading by seven strokes, its largest final-round lead since winning the Tar Heel Invitational in early October. Battling high winds, the Blue Devils notched their worst round of the tournament with a 16-over-par performance, which was still the best score of the day.

It was a battle between the pitchers Sunday. And despite Blue Devil starter Danny Otero’s impressive performance—allowing only seven hits and no walks over seven in-

“With the game Danny pitched we should have been able to win,” first baseman Javier Socorro said. “It seems like we coasted for a few innings when we should have expanded that 2-0 lead and given a litde more cushion for Danny.”

In three consecutive heartbreakers the Blue Devils (9-23, 1-11 in the ACC) fell a single run short to the Demon Deacons (14-16, 7-8), losing 11-10, 6-5 and 3-2 in the ACC series.

The Blue Devils first lead of the weekend did not come until the third inning Sunday. Duke scored the game’s first run, when Adam Murray connected on an infield single that drove in sophomore Jonathan Anderson.

Gusting winds knock Blue Devils into 10th by

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

Coming off a victory at the EZ-Go Invitational March 20, No. 11 Duke expected big things this weekend at the ASU Invitational in Augusta, Ga. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, the only big numbers were the windspeed and their score.

In conditions that bordered on unplayable, Duke barely avoided its first finish outside the top 10 in its last nine tournaments, scoring a 70-over 934 and coming in a tie for 10th. The Blue Devils ended 38 strokes behind the leader and had no individual in the top 11, but they were not the only team to notch high scores for the weekend. With it as windy as it was, head coach Rod Myers was surprised that anyone scored well.

“This was a horrendous weekend,” he said. “The conditions were horrible. Look at the scores. You can see that everybody struggled out here.”

Throughout the gusty weekend, players found it difficult to score anywhere near par. Host-team Augusta State, which won the tournament by one stroke over Georgia, shot 32 over par. The individual champion, Bulldog Chris Kirk, notched a twounder-par final round to finish at one over and win the title.

Saturday, weather was so bad that play had to be suspended when the wind downed four trees. Gusts as high as 55 miles per hour were recorded, and wind was consistently above 30 mph, Myers said.

The wind died down somewhat Sunday but

For the Blue Devils, ninth-ranked Ryan Blaum had his worst outing of the season, finishing in a tie for 32nd. Inconsistency marked Blaum’s weekend, as he averaged 3.3 birdies and 6 bogies per round, in addition to five double-bogies.

“Ryan really struggled with his putter,” Myers said. “He hit the ball awfully well. You couldn’t imagine he shot the score he shot if

you watched the way he was hitting the ball.”

Nathan Smith put together the best tournament for the Blue Devils. The junior, who won the Azalea Invitational, an individual amateur competition last week, started the event with his best effort, a three-over-par 75, that left him in a tie for fifth. But Smith could not keep that pace up, firing five and four over par Saturday and Sunday, respectively. He fin-

ished the weekend at tied for 14th “When you’ve got two all-Americans,” said Myers of Blaum and Smith. “I don’t think there’s any chance to win if they don’t play really well.”

The windy playing conditions affected Duke’s two least-experienced golfers the most. The Blue Devils’ two freshmen, Michael Quagliano and Michael Schachner, both had their poorest performances of the spring. Quagliano did not break 80 in any of his three rounds, and Schachner had the highest score by any individual with an 88.

“The freshmen struggled to hit the shots with the wind,” Myers said. “It is where experience shows. Nate and Ryan can hit with wind, but Quagliano and Schachner just couldn’t hit the shots.”

Schachner recovered from his 16-overpar round to shoot a 79 and a team-best 74 in the final round. In one of the highlights of the last 18 holes, the freshman drove the green and sunk a putt to eagle a 290yard par four.

Sophomore Jake Grodzinsky also provided one of the better stretches of the final round for Duke. He birdied three of his first five holes, reaching two-underpar but gave back strokes on five of his next six holes. The sophomore finished the round at five over.

“We’ve just got to forget about this tournament and go from here,” Myers said.

“We almost want to act like we didn’t play —put this performance behind us and start all over next weekend.”

Blue Devils pick up two easy wins on road by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

The fifth-ranked men’s tennis team spent its southeastern road trip blowing away the competition, taking out No. 37 Georgia Tech 7-0 Saturday and No. 19 Clemson 5-2 Sunday.

Duke (15-2, 5-0 in the ACC) extended its winning streak DUKE to nine and has | 7 q yet to drop a G.TECH match during the outdoor season.

DUKE After playing CLEMSON 2 some of his best tennis Saturday, Ludovic Walter, ranked fifth in the nation, lost to No. 18 Nathan Thompson 63, 6-3 and fell in doubles with partner Jason Zimmermann.

The Blue Devils grabbed their first point in a hurry against Georgia Tech (9-7, 1-4), as Walter and Zimmermann won 8-4 at No. 1 doubles, and Stephen Amritraj and Peter Shults crushed their opponents 8-2. Jonathan Stokke and Peter Rodrigues completed the doubles sweep with a 9-8 (4) triumph in the No. 2 slot.

Walter highlighted the afternoon by winning with relative ease against No. 21 Jose Muguruza 6-4, 6-3. The Frenchman overwhelmed Muguruza with a lethal combination of power and accuracy on the way to the straight-set victory.

“Ludovic was the player that really stood out in that match if I had to pick someone,” Duke head coach Jay Lapidus said. “I really thought that Ludovic played the best tennis of the day out of all the guys.”

Stokke also won in straight sets at the No. S position, blanking his opponent in the first set and getting the critical break in the second to secure a 6-0, 6-4 victory.

The freshman duo of Charles Brezac and Ned Samuelson each held down the fort at No. 5 and No. 6, winning 6-4, 6-2 and 6-2, 6-4, respectively.

Completing the sweep did not come as easily for Amritraj and Rodrigues. Playing No. 2, Amritraj lost a tough battle in the first set before taking over the match. Rodrigues also dropped the first set before pulling away from his opponent, winning 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.

The next day’s match against Clemson (21-7, 3-3) was not as much of a cakewalk as the previous day’s, but a Duke victory was never in jeopardy as the Blue Devils built up a 5-0 lead.

In the doubles competition, Walter and Zimmermann took a rare defeat at the top spot, losing 9-8. At No. 3, Amritraj and Shults steamrolled their opponents 8-1, and Rodrigues and Stokke brought home the doubles point with an 8-6 win.

In singles, Duke demonstrated its strength at the bottom of the lineup, as the No. 3 through No. 6 positions breezed through their Tiger counterparts. Stokke won by the count of 6-1, 6-4, continuing his strong play at the No. 3 position. At No. 4, Rodrigues cruised to a 6-0, 6-4 triumph, and Brezac won at No. 5 by the same score. Shults continued his successful comeback season with another easy victory, winning 6-2, 6-1.

“Depth has definitely been big for us, as we can go 10 or 11 deep,” Lapidus said.

“When you have guys at the three, four, five and six positions who can compete with your top guys, it definitely gives you an edge, particularly as we go down the stretch of the season.”

Duke did wear down at the top two positions, as Walter lost for the second time in one day and AmritraJ succumbed to defeat in a third set decided by a tiebreak.

Williams earns defensive player honors by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

Shelden Williams, who recorded 122 blocks this season, earned the NABC's National Defensive Player of the Year award.

When Shelden Williams was forced to the bench with foul trouble in the second half of Duke’s 78-68 loss to Michigan State March 25, it was evident that the Blue Devils were without their defensive leader.

Williams, who set a school record with 122 blocks this year, was awarded the National Association ofBasketball Coaches Defensive Player of the Year Sunday.

“It is an honor to be named the National Defensive Player of the Year and have my name up there with a lot of great players,” Williams said in a statement “I was chosen over a lot of other deserving players.”

Williams set an ACC record by averaging 3.7 blocks per game, and head coach Mike Krzyzewski has repeatedly called him “the best shot blocker I’ve coached.” He also led the Blue Devils in rebounding and was third in steals.

The Forest Park, Okla., native rarely found himself in foul trouble, which is one of the reasons he was so successful this year. Although he lacks great leaping ability,

he Jumps straight up to avoid contact when attempting to block shots and keeps the ball in play.

“Shelden is a different type of defensive player than we have had in the past, but he is definitely up there with the other Duke standouts,” Krzyzewski said in a statement. “This year he was the main reason we were a good defensive team. Shelden really anchored our defense.”

The junior is the eighth Blue Devil to earn the honor since the NABC began awarding it in 1987. If Williams decides to return for his senior season he will have the opportunity to become the fifth repeat winner, a list that includes three-time recipient Duke’s Shane Battier.

Williams is currendy second on the Blue Devils’ alltime blocks list with 285, just 60 behind Mike Gminski.

NOTE: The Naismith Award was also announced Sunday in St. Louis and Utah’s Andrew Bogut was given the honor.

Bogut, who also earned the AP Player of the Year, finished ahead of Rupp Award winner Duke’s J.J. Redick.

ERIC KELLEY/THE CAVALIER DAILY

The Blue Devils held Virginia to only nine first-half shots, as they beat the No. 2 team in the nation 16-12 Saturday.

“The backside of our defense got caught ball-watching and people just slid in unmarked and that was easy,” Kimel said.

Although other Cavaliers were getting to the goal, the Blue Devils held reigning Tewaaraton Trophy winner Amy Appelt in check.

She scored two goals and assisted on two others but was not the dominant player she was when she scored five goals in her team’s rout of Duke in the ACC Championship finals last season.

Virginia head coach Julie Myers said Appelt lost focus after “a couple of frustrating early shots that she never recovered from.”

Appelt’s two assists came on nearly identical plays on consecutive possessions in the second period to bring the score to 13-10.

She rolled out to the left from behind the goal and as she stepped toward the crease she found teammates cutting down the middle for easy scores.

“Amy, that’s the one part of her game that she’s been able to develop,” Kimel said. “She knows she’s going to be well marked every game and her teammates know that as well, so I think they have some really nice role players that are ready to slip in there as soon as their girl isn’t paying attention.”

But for the second time, Chrest snapped a Cavalier streak.

www.chronicle.duke.edu

Earlier she halted a 4-0 run with her fourth goal of the game on a high shot she fired while running toward the left side of the net. Only 43 seconds after Appelt’s second assist, she moved from left to right in front of the cage and fired a line drive shot past the goalkeeper.

“We’ve struggled in the second half, and all it’s taken is a goal to get us back on track in a lot of the games we played,” Chrest said.

“Being the older person out there I guess, I kind of knew something had to be done.”

Kimel said her team did not show patience and adjust well Saturday when Virginia sent its double-teams and covered Duke’s initial cutters after halftime.

“I think we come out extremely strong, which is a big change from last year—last year we were kind of a second-half team,” sophomore Leigh Jester said.

“We just find it kind of hard at halftime to keep it going. It’s all mental.”

The Blue Devils dominated all aspects of the game over the first 30 minutes. They outshot the Cavaliers 21-9 and were the quicker team to the ball, picking up 14-of-16 ground balls.

Duke trailed just once, 2-1, but then rattled off nine straight goals, including two of Jester’s four scores.

“I think the first half was definitely the best first half we’ve had all season,” Jester said.

top spot momentarily Sunday before two late bogeys knocked her out of the lead. Pandolfi turned in a five-over 75 in the final round’s heavy winds and finished in a career-best third place.

“I’m really excited for Jenny,” Brooks said. “She’s been dedicatedall season and to see her crank up her game and finish so high is great.”

Anna Grzebien, fresh off a second place finish in the team’s last tournament, was the only Duke player not to spend time atop the leaderboard or card an under-par round. The sophomore, however, played consistendy good golf all weekend and finished 16th place overall.

Aazam-Zanganeh’s wrist tendonitis kept her out of all three rounds of the tournament. Her injury is not severe, and she is expected to return to action for the ACC Championships in Charlotte April 15, Brooks said.

With the regular season now complete, Duke heads into the postseason seeking its 10th consecutive ACC Championship and third overall national tide.

fell on the shoulders of Deltour. The Blue Devil’s lone freshman, who usually is one of the first to finish her matches, was last on the court for the first time all season.

“It was hard, but it didn’t really change anything,” Deltour said of playing the deciding match.

Deltour led for most of the first set, but her opponent came back to force a tiebreaker in which she narrowly defeated Deltour 8-6. The second set was also close, but the freshman again found herself on the losing end, giving Miami its seventh conference win.

A solid doubles showing was the highlight of the Blue Devils’ performance Saturday. The team, which has used a number of different doubles lineups, is still suring up its pairings with only three matches remaining before the ACC Championships begin April 21.

“We’re trying to find the right combinations,” Ashorth said. “Hopefully in the last two or three weeks of our regular season we can find some doubles. I was really happy with our doubles yesterday.”

LAUREN STRANGE/THE CHRONICLE

Senior Saras Arasu won the decisive match in Duke's 4-3 victory over Florida State Sunday at the SheffieldIndoorTennis Center.

BASEBALL from page 3 game sweep In the first two games of the series, Duke fell behind in the early innings, only to fall short in late-inning comeback attempts.

The Blue Devils trailed 11-4 entering the ninth inning Friday, and after Ron Causey fouled out to lead off, seven consecutive Blue Devils reached base.

With Bryan Smith on first, freshman Jimmy Gallagher nailed a two-run homer into leftfield to put Duke within five. Then Murray and Socorro connected on back-to-back singles, and Brett Bartles walked to load the bases. Cody Wheeler reached on a catcher’s interference forcing in a run and Corey Whiting singled in another.

Wake Forest closer Kyle Young forced a pop up for the second out of the inning. On Causey’s ensuing single, pinch runner Senterrio Landrum scored from third. But Young worked a full count against Smith and then fielded a groundball to stop Duke’s comeback short and end the game.

“It’s frustrating but it’s tough to score in the ACC because everybody in the league is good,” Murray said.

“Being able to put up six runs in an inning is unbelievable.

But we needed seven.”

Murray and Socorro took the helm again in Saturday’s matchup with back-to-back two-run doubles in the eighth inning to tie the game at five. But the Demon Deacons were able to pull away once more with a double by Tucker to score the runner at second.

“We shouldn’t always have to be in those situations,” Murray said of the two comebacks. “A lot of times it comes to our last at bat and it’s important that doesn’t keep happening. ACC teams are going to close things out.”

RANKINGS

MONDAY, APRIL 4,2005

tying with the University of Washington.

U.S. News also reviewed doctoral programs in the social sciences and humanities, with Duke placing in the top 15 for more than half of the departments evaluated—l2th in English, 15th in history, Bth in political science and 14th in sociology. Duke’s programs in economics and psychology were not far behind, placing 21st and 28th respectively. In all of the categories, Duke was tied with one or more schools.

U.S. News does not review every graduate and professional program each year.

The results for the School of Medicine were mixed.

For the U.S. News rankings, medicine is broken into two categories: research and primary care. The school is also ranked in various specialties.

Like many other private medical schools, Duke is known for placing the most emphasis on its research program. Despite remaining in the top 10, the research ranking sunk to sixth, its lowest place since 2001.

The medical school’s primary care program, however, climbed the most of all Duke’s graduate and professional schools, rising to its highest ever—sixth—from last year’s ranking of39th.

The School of Medicine also received its highest marks in the specialties of geriatrics and internal medicine, each ranking in the top five.

A fixture of the top 10 in the 19905, last year Fuqua dropped to its lowest position in years—11th—and failed to regain its former status this year. Similar to last year, Fuqua’s Marketing and Executive MBA programs ranked among the top five in the country.

Despite the large emphasis often placed on a top 10 ranking, some Fuqua students expressed general disinterest with the results.

“Of course the higher ranking, the better,” said business student Bo Jiang. “But I think what you get from a school depends on yourself. All these top-tier schools have similar academic standards.”

Harvard University placed at the top overall for business, with Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania tying for second.

The School ofLaw’s ranking has danced on the top-10 borderline for the last few years. Its drop to 11th, from 10th, is still higher than its 2004 ranking.

Several law students said as long as their school remained near the top, dropping a place or two had little bearing on their future career opportunities.

“I think the legal community has a pretty good idea about the quality of institution that Duke is,” said law student Meredith Schwartz. “That said, I would have liked to see us in the top 10.”

The ranking methodology in business, engineering, law and medicine uses two types of data: opinions from experts in the field and statistical information relevant to each program. The magazine also interviewed professional that hire new graduates and factored their opinions into the results.

For rankings in the social sciences and humanities, U.S. News based their findings exclusively on surveys from experts, including deans, program directors and senior faculty members.

PROVOST from page 3 Both Lange and Silbiger attributed lower undergradgraduate students’ tendency to plan ahead and manage tighter budgets. Big-name performances like Thursday’s concert by 10-time Grammy winner Bobby McFerrin often sell out weeks in advance, Silbiger said.

“I’m hoping for a higher visibility of the arts performances on campus next year [to accompany] the addition of the [Nasher] Museum and with improved advertising,” said Silbiger, adding that she also hopes to promote student-artist interaction next year. “More support will hopefully translate into more dollars to bring things uate attendance to

to

campus.”

Director of Theater Zannie Voss, whose Department ofTheater Studies has seen “substantial increases in students’ participation in the theater experience,” said the provost’s initiative is a move in the right direction but that Duke students in general could take a more active role in supporting the arts.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and chances are that if you haven’t attended the theater when you leave here, you never will,” Voss said. “Many students at Duke will end up moving to large metropolitan areas, where they’ll be the ones sitting on boards for the arts.

SELECTION from page 6 young. But Tettamanzi, 71, is not considered widely traveled and some critics believe he could to impose too strong an Italian oudook.

Other Italians widely mentioned as possible candidates include: Cardinal Angelo Scola of Venice, 63, who is relatively young and brings a cosmopolitan flair from his city at historic cultural crossroads; and Giovanni Battista Re, 71, who has served as president of the Vatican commission for Latin America since 2001.

Within Europe, several cardinals are seen as possible rising stars, potentially able to win support in the way Karol Wojtyla, then archbishop of Krakow, Poland, did in the 1978 conclave that elevated him to pope. They include: Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, archbishop of Vienna, Austria, 69, who is multilingual and has diplomatic flair, and Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels, 71, who is well known in both political and diplomatic circles.

John Paul’s papacy was so long, some Vatican watchers suggest the conclave could look to an older “transitional”

9

pope, who would not try to put a strong personal stamp on the papacy.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, a German who heads the powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is the leading name under this scenario. Ratzinger, who will turn 78 before the conclave, was a close confidant of the late pope and is favored by those who want to preserve John Paul’s conservative views.

Europe has the biggest bloc with 58 papal electors cardinals under 80 years old. Italy alone has 20.

Latin America has 21 and Africa brings 11. The United States also has 11 cardinals and could sway the voting if they remain united. An American pope, however, is considered a virtual impossibility because the Vatican would avoid any such a deep and complicated association with the world's sole superpower.

Any other forecast would find itself on shaky ground.

One only has to recall that after two days and eight rounds of voting 26 years ago, the name of Karol Wojtyla—never mentioned as a serious candidate—was announced to the crowd in St. Peter’s Square. Many there were baffled.

DSG from page 1 runoff and publicly denounced her actions.

According to an official DSG statement, preliminary motions to disqualify Aviki entirely “failed by the narrowest margin.” Ladner said the difference between an activated and non-activated link, however, proved ultimately too insignificant to “throw an entire election.”

Ladner said Aviki’s violations extended beyond the live link incident, though Saturday’s ruling pertains only to that charge. Commission reports state that an Aviki campaign banner was hanging from a West Campus dormitory building March 20 at 11:40 p.m.; campaign activities could not legally commence until March 21 at 12 a.m. As a result, the Election Commission halved Aviki’s campaign budget and prohibited her from hanging banners on Main West.

Early last week, candidates’ camps were hurling accusations about slogans painted on the East Campus bridge.

The Election Commission received a call late March 29 with a report that the graffiti bridge was painted with “Jesse’s pesky,” “Aviki’s tricky,” and “Concerned citizens

endorse Ross the boss.” Aviki and Ferguson accused each other of painting the bridge to frame the other candidate.

James Saad, a senior and a member of Ferguson’s campaign team, also filed an official complaint against Aviki.

The Election Commission reviewed the situation and found “no hard evidence as to who painted the bridge,” according to a statement Ladner released. None of the candidates, all of whom were present, were charged with violations related to the event. Ladner said mudslinging between the Aviki and Ferguson campaigns led the Election Commission to divide the bridge into sections for each of the candidates.

“We were very concerned that this was going to be a nasty election day, given all the events leading up to it,” Ladner said.

On election day, Ferguson informed the commission of Aviki’s live link violation through a series of e-mails sent throughout the day. An anonymous source also submitted a photograph of a computer screen displaying Aviki’s AIM profile with the live link.

Ferguson, a junior, did not file an official complaint against Aviki’s actions, but he did file an appeal with the

Judiciary Committee, objecting to the Election Commission’s decision to allow Aviki in the runoff.

“I feel as though I was cheated out of votes in this election, and it was close enough that it made a considerable difference in the outcome and left me out of the runoff,” Ferguson wrote in his appeal. “I was punished for running a clean campaign, and that is simply not fair.”

Ferguson could not be reached for further comment.

Longoria, also a junior, declined to submit an official response to the commission. “I’m just trying to run my campaign as best I can,” he said. “I really appreciate everybody’s support through his whole process.”

Members of Aviki’s campaign told The Chronicle that the Election Commission had neglected complaints against other candidates, and Aviki said she was treated unfairly.

“I regret what this election has turned into,” Aviki said Sunday. “It’s turned into candidates defending themselves as opposed to defending what the student body wants.”

Voting procedure for Tuesday’s runoff will be identical to last week’s. Online polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and DSC representatives will again staff voting stations at the Marketplace and in Alpine Atrium in the Bryan Center.

SALAP from page 3 minish the quality of their organizations. He said a full course load would undermine student leaders’ education.

“To be as honest and true to the position as I have, if I did that with four classes, my academics would suffer, and my senior year would not be a good educational experience,” Majdi said.

DUU President Kevin Parker, a senior, said because the SALAP recipients “serve a public good” in their roles, the general student body would also feel the negative effects of the program’s absence when the leaders could not “produce a high-quality product.”

“By giving these students more flexibility, we’re able to create a better Duke for everyone,” he said.

Senior Alice Williamson, co-director of the CSC, said she regards her position as a “full-time commitment” but would have taken the job even without SALAP something she believes other student leaders would do if the program is cut.

“The types of people who are attracted to these positions should be so passionate and motivated that they would be willing to be filling their obligations as student leaders regardless of whether they had the SALAP or not,” Williamson said.

Nonetheless, Williamson said she was in favor of revising but not eliminating SALAP. She said the program should be extended via an open application process to all student leaders rather than attached to particular —

leadership positions.

“People need to reflect on why they want it and why it’s necessary for their position instead of being handed this gift,” Williamson said.

The Chronicle employs a similar scholarship system for its senior leadership. The Chronicle Leadership Assistance Program, however, is an independent program fully funded by The Chronicle. Considerations about its future would be separate from SALAP discussions.

LOTTERY from page 7 that does prey on the poor,” Black said. “I really do not favor trying to entice people to think it’s some kind of investment. People should be playing the lottery if they want to play it just because they enjoy playing it, not thinking that there’s a pie-in-the-sky profit there.”

Black and his supporters acknowledge that even the best of intentions will not bind future classes of legislators.

And that makes opponents uneasy.

[Limiting advertising is] not going to matter, because ultimately if it goes forward, they’ll do what they want,” said Chuck Neely, executive director of the group Citizens United Against the Lottery. “The purpose of running a lottery is raising money. If you don’t promote the lottery you don’t raise money.”

State lotteries generally spend 1.5 percent to 2 percent of net revenues on advertising, said Penelope Kyle, executive director of the Virginia Lottery and a past president of the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries, a trade association for lotteries in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

The Virginia lottery spends about $l5 million a year on advertising and generated $1.26 billion in sales last year, Kyle said.

Though Virginia does not specifically cap advertising spending, it has some of the nation’s tightest restrictions on the ways in which the lottery may be advertised. Lawmakers prohibit the lottery from running ads featuring people made wealthy by their winnings and other socalled enticement ads. The lottery also cannot run advertisements that denigrate the work ethic and every advertisement must show the odds of winning. “

She wonders whether any organization can pay for their message (she says “propaganda”) to be distributed with The Chronicle. I certainly hope so!

From the ads by civil rights groups which lead to the seminal First Amendment case, New York Times v. Sullivan, to the MoveOn ads in The New York Times last election season, paid advertising has allowed groups who can’t afford to print their own papers to utilize the mass media to get their message out.

In today’s increasingly consolidated media tor

(even at Duke, nothing is more widely read than The Chronicle) paid ads are away for dissenting voices to get heard.

The Chronicle is not, as Thomas claims, sacrificing its neutrality when it accepts paid political advertisements; that’s why these ads say “paid advertisement” on them. That’s why they are not written by The Chronicle’s writers and columnists. The ads are the speech of the groups buying ad space, not The Chronicle. Whether The Chronicle is accepting paid ads from pro-life groups, pro-choice groups or any other group, I applaud them for the service they are providing for free speech.

The American scheme The long,

master narrative of the American Dream must die. For too we’ve been fleeced by its distorting cloak.

America has long served as refuge for the “huddled masses” of immigrants, a nation committed to your piece of the economic pie as long as you hold up your end of the immigrant bargain: hard work, sacrifice and deferred gratification. Your lack of determination is the only barrier between you and upward mobility. If you follow this formula and avoid rocking the boat, then you shall achieve the coveted prize of assimilation into Americanness.

This narrative belies fundamental differences among American immigrant groups and obfuscates the debate about racial outcomes within the contemporary United States. Economic historian Masao Suzuki’s studies of INS data suggest that while 80 to 90 percent of Italian, Polish and Irish immigrants to the United States had been laborers and domestic servants between 1899 and 1914, 75 percent of Jewish immigrants during the same period were professionals, businessmen and skilled workers.

Indeed, we can witness this disparity in the historical stereotyping of the former as working-class groups. However, their common thread—notwithstanding initial differences in class and education—lies in America’s relatively quick acceptance of these immigrants into the grand construction of whiteness, a “whitening” which has over time come to be confused with the process ofassimilation. Glossing over differences among European immigrants thus became an advantage, as these groups unwittingly benefited from phil kurian being classified as white in America’s color hierarchy. the pen is mightier But what about those immigrants who lack phenotypic whiteness? Certainly these groups have suffered from the problems of American racism. Still, the selectivity of immigration plays an important role in assessing racial outcomes in the United States of today. In his 1966 New York Times Magazine essay, sociologist William Petersen constructed the stereotype of the “model minority” to describe the success story of Japanese immigrants in America, a narrative which pre-dated the influx of poorer immigrants from Southeast Asia to the United States.

According to Suzuki, Japanese immigrants in 1909 had significandy higher literacy rates than emigrants from throughout Europe. Japanese immigrants to the United States were also better educated than the general population of Japan.

Suzuki’s survey of pre-World War II emigrants shows almost two-thirds of the Japanese going to Brazil had only a primary school education and one-third had attended middle school or higher. These proportions, however, were reversed from the more highly educated immigrants to the United States, where almost two-thirds had middle school or higher levels of schooling.

It is therefore nonsensical to suggest that Japanese success in America (or East/South Asian success writ large) is the product of an inherent cultural endowment that is absent in other groups. In America, we have just received the cream of the world’s crop.

The overrepresentation of immigrant groups in institutions of higher learning is then not surprising. We take the best and brightest from there; they become the best and brightest at Duke, or elsewhere.

What uncritical stewards of the American Dream have not been careful to do is acknowledge how historical resource disparity—not cultural inclination—is the cause of this social phenomenon. As a result, non-immigrant groups like Native and African Americans suffer stigmatization.

William Darity, Jr., professor of public policy studies at Duke, agrees: “Altogether absent from the master narrative is the simple observation that voluntary immigrants inherently differ from non-immigrants by the selectivity associated with the willingness to take the risk of pulling up stakes and relocating.”

Thus, even among poor, discriminated or exiled immigrant groups, we cannot make fair comparisons between them and Native Americans or African Americans. Poor Asian, African, Caribbean and Latino immigrants can seemingly leapfrog over these two groups in the American hierarchy because they are a self-selected population, with at least the motivation to come to America. As the geographical barriers to U.S. immigration are higher for Asians and Africans, it is no wonder that they outperform Caribbeans and Latinos in educational and professional achievement. The self-selection process is more rigorous.

In my next column, I will take a closer look at how the institution ofAmerican slavery has been lost in our construction of this false master narrative. Coming to America has been entirely different for those brought in chains.
