Students of color are frustrated, By the numbers, Duke is diverse: 10 percent black, 14 percent Asian-American and almost 7 percent Hispanic. But many undergraduates see two different Dukes; a weekday Duke and a weekend Duke. The first, they say, displays the diversity the University’s brochures tout, but the second devolves into a social scene some say is racially segregated. Sophomore Brandon White, a member campus 0f Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity—a historiCult Ufa cally black greek orv S ganization—has se these two Dukes At a barbeque his fraternity held for the residents of Edens Quadrangle earlier this semester, White saw a group of white students and an older woman observing the gathering. “So one guy says, ‘What's happening over there?,’ White recalled. “Aiiother guy answered, ‘Oh, the Alphas are having a barbeque.’ Then the first guy says, T have one guess as to what they're cooking; fried chicken, watermelon and Kool-Aid.’” After confronting the bystanders, White told two ofhis fraternity brothers about the incident, and t hey shared his

indignation. “Every race was there, we were trying to have fun,” White said later. “They say they

try to cater to minorities—it's all bullshit.” Senior Kareem Khoury, one of White's fraternity brothers, said he was shocked that the incident occurred, especially given recent student-driven efforts like programs at the Center for Race Relations. “The event was for everyone—it wasn’t just a ‘black’ event,” he said. “It makes me feel like all the things CRR does—when stufflike this happens —it’s all pointless.” White and his fraternity brothers were vocal in their outrage about the incident they recalled, but other students said instances of racial stereotyping were so common they no longer elicit such reactions. Junior Thomas Stratton said he found a profile picture on thefacebook.com in which a white Duke student put on blackface—dark brown makeup worn over the whole face with a kinked, dark wig.

But in a finals rematch Sunday, the Blue Devils (14-3, 5-1) mounted a strong enough offensive performance and clamped down on the Cavaliers’ attackers to win their first ever ACC Championship, 9-6, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md. “This is something we haven’t had—we haven’t had an ACC Championship,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “We agreed together, 40 of us or however many of us there are, that we were going to do everything we had to do today to make it a reality. So I could not be prouder of the effort our kids put out on the field today.” Kristen Waagbo and Rachel Sanford each recorded hat tricks as Duke never trailed in the game. Junior Katie Chrest, who scored two goals and added an assist, earned Tournament MVP honors. But the defense was the key to Sunday’s victory. The Cavalier trio of 2004 Tewaaraton Trophy winner Amy Appelt, Tyler Leachman and Cary Chasney came into the game averaging nearly eight goals per contest between them. The Duke defense honed in on those three, and the trio did not find the back of the net a single time, shooting a combined 0-for-14.

Duke was competing in its fourth ACC final in five years, but the team has not won the tournament since 2002. The Blue Devils will now wait until May 8 for NCAA Tournament selections, when they will likely receive a bid to the 12-team tourney. Senior goalie Aaron Fenton kept the Blue Devils afloat throughout the first half with 10 saves in the first two periods. Duke, however, played more than 40 minutes without a goal, and Maryland opened up a 3-2 halftime lead with three goals in the last six minutes of the third quarter, two of which were in man-up situations resulting from Blue Devil penalties. 2004 ACC Player of the Year Joe Walters led the Terrapins with three goals SEE

apparently test fired a missile into the Sea of Japan Sunday, raising new fears about Pyongyang’s nuclear intentions just days after a U.S. intelligence official said the secretive Stalinist state had the ability in theory to arm a missile with a nuclear warhead. News of the test launch first appeared in Japanese media reports, citing U.S. military officials as having informed the Japanese and South Korean governments of the test launch, which took the missile about 65 miles off the North Korean coast. Later, the White House chief of staff confirmed

the incident in an interview with CNN’s “Late Edition.” “It appears that there was a test of a short-range missile by the North Koreans, and it landed in the Sea of Japan. We’re not surprised by this. The North Koreans have tested their missiles before. They’ve had some failures,” Chief of Staff Andrew Card told the cable network. Thursday, Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the U.S. Senate that the North Koreans knew how to arm a missile with a nuclear weapon, a potentially significant advance for the communist state. He did not specify whether he was talk-

ing about a short-range or long-range missile, the latter believed capable of hitting the United States. Two defense officials later said that U.S. intelligence analysts believe North Korea is several years away from being able to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile that could reach the United States from the Korean Peninsula. The Sunday test-firing occurred on the eve of a crucial gathering at the United Nations to review global progress on curbing nuclear proliferation. North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 2003. The United States, however, is expected to seek a consensus.

Car bombing at funeral kills 25 In Iraq by

Antonio Castaneda

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq A car bomb obliterated a tent packed with mourners at the funeral of a Kurdish official in northern Iraq Sunday, killing 25 people and wounding more than 50 in the single deadliest attack since insurgents started bearing down on Iraq’s newly named government late last week. The blast capped four exceedingly violent days in which at least 116 people, including 11 Americans, were killed in a storm of bombings and ambushes blamed on Iraqi insurgents, believed largely popu-

lated by members of the disaffected Sunni Arab minority. The Sunnis were dominantfor decades underSaddam Hussein butwere mainlyshut out of the new government announced Thursday. The skyrocketing violence since then is viewed by some as a response to political developments that the UnitedStates and the Shiite-dominated power structure had hoped would tamp down thebloodshed. Despite the unrelenting violence, Iraq’s national security adviser said Sunday the fledgling government was making progress against the insurgents. “There is no shadow of doubt in my

mind that by the end of the year, we would have achieved a lot,” Mouwafak al-Rubaie said in an interview with CNN’s “Late Edition.” “Probably the back of the insurgency has already been broken.” Iraqi militants also released a video purporting to show Iraq’s latest foreign hostage—an Australian married to an American and living in the San Francisco area. Douglas Wood, 63, was shown seated between two masked militants pointing automatic weapons at him. His wife, Pearl, told The Associated Press she saw the tape and the man being held was definitely her husband.

President George W. Bush's chief of staff, Andrew Card, appealed Sunday for congressional Democrats to work with the administration and Republicans rather than complain and stall action on Capitol Hill. Card also reaffirmed the president's support for House Majority Leader Tom Delay.

WXDU under increased scrutiny Diana Ni

An unidentified, middle-aged man has been intently tuning in to Duke’s radio station, WXDU (88.7 FM), and its webcam for the past two weeks. Dubbed “Our Listener” by WXDU officials, the man sends an e-mail every morning with a list of profanities and the time they are broadcast to the University’s top brass. The increased scrutiny of WXDU has spurred die station’s administrators to take extra caution with on-air content. WXDU Volunteer Program Director and Program Coordinator in the Center for Biologically Inspired Materials Rick Sawyer sent an e-mail to the station’s disc jockeys April 27 warning them about the situation.

On WXDU’s website, viewers can see into the DJ station via a webcam that refreshes about every minute. If the DJ on air does not wish to be seen, he can turn the webcam away. Sawyer’s e-mail said images of the DJs who allegedly use indecent language or play inappropriate songs have been sent to Duke administrators as well. The man has not threatened to harm any WXDU personnel. Although the University has not moved to pull support from the station, administrators expect the station to abide by Federal Communications Commission guidelines. Through the anonymous e-mailer’s actions, the administration has only recently become aware of

Kathy Hollingsworth has been named the director of Duke’s Counseling and Psychological Services. She will take office July 18, succeeding James Clack, who led CAPS for the last 10 years. Currently the head of Northwestern University’s Counseling and Psychological Services, Hollingsworth said she looks forward to heading Duke’s program, which consists of 14 professional staff members and seven residents and interns and provides clinical services to 1,200 students each year. “Going to Duke feels like moving home,” she said. “Many of my friends went to Duke and I have been aware of it all my life.... My appreciation and respect for Duke went to another level after I started working in higher-level education.” Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said he was impressed by the caliber of applicants for the position. “We had a stellar finalist pool. This is as good as it gets,” he said. The search began after Clack announced his plans to retire in the summer of 2004. “She gets it,” Moneta said, speaking to why Hollingsworth secured the position. “She understands the need to balance direct clinical service with preventive intervention. She understands that some [students] are going to need professional care and she has been skilled at developing approaches at getting those students in and to the right kind of care giver.” Moneta also said she was chosen because she has experience dealing with substandard facilities at the Northwestern program. Duke also faces similar problems. He said he hoped she could help revitalize the current state of CAPS, which is located next to Page Auditorium. Hollingsworth said she hoped to improve the

Undergraduates lose enthusiasm for Myrtle Mingyang Liu THE CHRONICLE

This time last year, Duke invaded Myrtle Beach after finals week. This year, the once-favorite vacation spot seems to have lost its luster. “Going to Myrtle is kind of going down hill,” said sophomore Felix Li, recounting what he has heard. “As a [vacation] place, it’s just not as exciting as it used to be.” Nevertheless, Li and the brothers of Delta Tau Delta fraternity will continue the post-finals tradition in their rented house on the South Carolina beach. “[lt’s] one last time to hang out with my friends without the pressures of school before we all go home for the summer,” Li said. Sophomore Maya Lloyd and her sisters in Alpha Phi sorority will be staying at several houses they rented on the beach. “I guess I’m staying there until someone takes me home,” said Lloyd, who will be returning to Duke for the summer ses-

sions. “I don’t think [Alpha Phi’s trip] was as organized in years past, but I think it’s going to become a tradition.” Freshman Kelly Teagarden organized a trip to the Poindexter Resort by Myrde Beach for about a dozen girls in her Kappa Kappa Gamma pledge class. Other Duke students are not as motivated to put together a trip to Myrde Beach after the end of the school year. A lack of organization left junior Alison Sundberg and her friends with last-minute plans to spend three nights in Wilmington, N.C. No one cared enough to plan an elaborate trip to Myrtle, and this was just an easier option for relaxing after the school year, she said. For others, Myrtle is just not their cup of tea. “It’s not my scene, and I’m not a big partier,” senior Mac Conforti said.

Some students will also be starting summer sessions at other campuses. Although some of her friends will be going to Myrtle, freshman Julia Blessing will be heading home from Duke to Ann Arbor, Mich., directly after finals. “I’m taking summer school back home and it starts on May 3 so I’m missing it already,” she said.

In a journalism ethics class with Susan Tifft, professor of the practice of journalism and public policy studies, senior Jordan Stringer followed a political blog regularly and posted weekly responses online. “There were things you would see on a blog that you wouldn’t see on CNN,” Stringer said. “It was interesting to read something that didn’t have invested interests in selling publications.” From his experiences following a blog, Stringer said he noticed that some news popped up on blogs even before it be-

As a part of the course, the students were required to write several posts every week on their own blogs.

I don’t know of anyone who is out of the closet like myself.” Brendan Nyhan, a second year graduate student in the political science department, has been an avid blogger for years.

Pride was the biggest thing at stake on the diamond this weekend at Jack Coombs field, as Duke and Virginia Tech batded to stay out of last place in the ACC “[This series] VA TECH | 2 is huge,” Hokie ® DUKE outfielder Billy Marn said. “I don’t think anyone wants to be the worst team.” Both offenses were on fire Friday and Saturday as the two teams banged out a combined 58 hits and plated 42 runs. With a nine-run fourth inning Friday, the Hokies took the series opener, 11-8. Duke charged back immediately Saturday, however, exploding for a seven-run first inning on their way to a 13-10 victory. With the series split at a game apiece, Duke remained one game ahead of Virginia Tech in the win column heading into Sunday’s rubber match, with Blue Devil Danny Otero set to face off against Hokie ace Ryan Kennedy.

Sophomore Lindsay Owen's career-best 400 meters helped Duke to its first ever Penn Relays title.

All Shannon Rowbury could see ahead of her was the finish line. Well, dial and the first-ever Penn Relays tide for women’s track. After Duke’s distance medley relay team ran second behind Arkansas for the majority of the race, Rowbury broke free of a group that included runners from North Carolina, Villanova and the Razorbacks with about 150 meters left in the race. “Once I was halfway through the final stretch, I started to get pretty excited,” Rowbury told theAssociated Press after the race. “I just kept looking for that finish line.” The win—Duke’s first at the Penn Relays since the men’s team won the fourmile relay in 1972—was made possible by personal-best performances from the three other Blue Devil runners. Senior Meaghan Leon started the race in front, running her 1,200 meters in 3:24.5, giving Duke a small lead over Arkansas. Although sophomore Lindsay Owen ran a career-best 56.1 seconds in her 400meter leg, the Blue Devils were about 20 meters behind Arkansas when she handed the baton off to senior Lauren Made for the 800-meter section.

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Judging from last year’s problems and this year’s recruiting class, one might say men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski is a quick learner. Last season's Blue Devils were felled by the lack of a stable offensive point guard and a dearth of post depth. This year's five-man recruiting class, touted as the nation’s best by a number ofrecruiting services, brings both. The class features two headline recruits: power forward Josh Mcßoberts and point guard Greg Paulus. The 6-foot-11, 235-pound Mcßoberts is a crafty and athletic left-handed big man who operates remarkably well from the high post. One of the nation's top-five players and arguably the country's most-skilled big man, Mcßoberts is a tenacious rebounder who will provide the Blue Devils with another shotblocker alongside Shelden Williams

and Shavlik Randolph. In addition, Mcßoberts has above average ball-handling skills for a player his size, remarkable footwork and good post moves in the low block. His biggest weakness is his shot—Mcßoberts has range to the threepoint line, but a small hitch in his release makes him a less-than-reliable perimeter shooter. What separates Mcßoberts from the rest of the big men in the class, however, is his passing. As a &-foot-l 1 power forward, Mcßoberts can distribute the ball all across the court with pinpoint accuracy, effectively giving the Blue Devils a point center. He will make a push for immediate playing time and may even usurp Randolph as the team's starting power forward by mid-season.

A week after topping Miami at the ACC Championships, the women’s rowing team cruised by its conference rival in 4-of-7 head-to-head races. The Blue Devils’ top boat, the Varsity 8, eked out a win by half a second. The Hurricanes fell to Duke by a full second at the ACCs April 23 but cut the gap in half competing at Indian Creek in Miami Beach. “We went down the course neck-toneck, but luckily we pulled it out at the end,” head coach Robyn Horner said. “We were hoping the margin of victory would get wider from the ACCs, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.” The Second Varsity 8, Varsity 4 and Novice 8 also had rematches from the ACC Championships. With Miami claming victories in the Varsity 4 and the Novice 8, none of the outcomes changed from last weekend’s finishes. Duke’s Second Varsity 8 notched its second win over Miami on the year, this time by seven seconds. “The Second Varsity 8 rowed a really good race,” Horner said. “They did a great job distancing themselves from

Miami this time.” The Blue Devils once again lost to Miami in the Novice 8. After catching an oar at the ACCs and finishing more than 40 seconds behind the Hurricanes, the boat regrouped and narrowed the gap to just over one second. “I was really happy with the Novice 8 squad,” Horner said. “After a disappointing race at the ACCs, they came out and showed a huge improvement in Miami.” In the teams’ final tune-up before the NCAA Regionals, two more Varsity 4 boats as well as a Novice 4 boat competed. With the Varsity 8 squad split into the newly formed Varsity 4 boats, the crews found mixed results, splitting the races with their Miami counterparts. In the Novice 4 event, the Blue Devils captured their fourth and final victory by 38 seconds in the most lopsided race of the meet. Duke has two weeks off before it will row in the NCAA Regionals in Oak Ridge, Tenn. The Blue Devils have not qualified a boat for the NCAA Championships in their seven years as a varsity program. Horner said she thinks the Varsity 8 boat has a chance, but that it will require them to find speed in the coming weeks.

ejected after he exploded in protest of a questionable strikethree call that sent Brett Bartles to the dugout. “I think everyone’s definitely frustrated, and I guess it just all built up at the end,” Otero said. Otero, who allowed just one earned run while striking out six in eight innings of work, threw one of his best games of the season. “Danny did a good job,” first baseman John Berger said. “I wish we could have given him some more run support; he pitched his ass off.” Kennedy, however, was simply better. By staying ahead in the count and exploiting the outer half of the plate, the junior lefthander kept the Blue Devil hitters off balance, dazzling them with his strong fastball and elusive changeup. The southpaw kept Duke at bay for all nine innings, surrendering a measly four hits and fanning 10. With both pitchers in the zone, the difference in the game was defense, which has been Duke’s Achilles’ heel all season. With two outs in the top of the fifth inning and the Blue Devils trailing by one, shortstop Bardes sailed a throw well over Berger’s head and into the Hokie dugout, allowing Virginia Tech shortstop Warren Schaeffer to advance to third on the twobase error. On the very next pitch, catcher Matt Foley drove in Schaeffer with a solid single up the middle to give

John Yurkow was

Kennedy a two-run cushion that would prove to be more than enough. Bartles committed four errors over the course of the weekend, including two in Sunday’s contest.

Conversely, the Hokies played exceptional defense all game. In the second inning, centerfielder Nate Parks streaked across the outfield to make a full-extension diving catch, robbing the Blue Devils of an extra-base hit. “When I made bad pitches, they made the good plays behind me,” Kennedy said. “It’s great to have that when you’re

throwing.”

Duke’s offense did little to help the team’s cause, as the Blue Devils failed to drive in any runs despite threatening multiple times. In the fifth, Duke had runners on first and third with one out, but Jimmy Gallagher grounded sharply into a 4-6-3 double play to end the inning. The Blue Devils threatened yet again in the seventh, advancing a runner to third with two outs, but failed to capitalize. Duke will now get a chance to regroup from their tough stretch. The team will have the next 11 days off before a series with N. C. State. “I think guys are going to try to get away from the game for a couple days,” Berger said. “We knew that we needed to win this series to have a better shot at not holding that last place spot, and we didn’t do that, but we have a chance to bounce back and redeem ourselves against N. C. State. Hopefully after that weekend, we’ll be out of that spot, and that will help us in the tournament.”

Shannon Rowbury ran the anchor leg of the distance medley relay and sprinted away from three challengers in the last 150 meters to take the win.

1,200-meter leg Megan Leon passed the baton off to teammate Lindsay Owen having run a personal-best time of 3:24.5. Duke led the race when Leon was finished with Arkansas close behind.

400-meter leg Owen finished her leg with another personal best, 56.1 seconds, but by

the time she handed off the baton, Duke sat in second place about 20 meters behind the national powerhouse Razorbacks.

Barr had slowed the pace of the final leg and North Carolina’s Erin Donahue—who Rowbury had outdueled at the ACC Championships just a week earlier—and Villanova’s Marina Muncan joined the leading group. But Rowbury was able to pull away and Duke won the relay with a time of 11:10.18. UNC finished second, approximately a second behind and Villanova placed a close third. Barr faded down the stretch, and Arkansas was fourth, over nine seconds behind the Blue Devils. “This is the biggest win in the history of the program,” Duke head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “It was a goal for these girls for a long time.... We thought we could win, but we knew everything had to go our way and it did.” Duke was able to use its relay victory as a springboard to a strong performance all weekend. The women's’ 4x1,500 relay team—featuring three of the four runners from the distance medley team—placed third. Kelly Reynolds beat her own school record in the hammer throw for the third time in four weeks. Daina Pucurs placed second among college competitors in the javelin. Two pole vaulters—lan Cassidy and Jon Fay—recorded career outdoor highs. The men’s sprint medley relay ran the sixthfastest time in Duke history and the men’s distance relay ran the fifth-fastest race in Duke history.

800-meter leg Laruren Matic ran yet another personal best for the Blue Devils, finishing in 2:06.5. Running against Arkansas' Aneita Denton, the defending indoor 800-meter national champion, Matic cut the Razoback lead to eight meters.

1600-meter leg Shannnon Rowbury easily caught the Arkansas runner. With about 500 meters, she was joined in the lead by runners from UNC and Villanova. She outsprinted them all to the finish, leading the last 150 meters.

We were trying to make Virginia do other things to have to beat us.” Senior Caline McHenry, tabbed by Kimel as the team’s best match-up defender, turned in a remarkable defense performance. Assigned the difficult task of marking Appelt, who had scored 45 goals before entering the finals this season, McHenry became the first player ever to hold the senior scoreless at either the collegiate or high school level. “I really just have a lot of respect for her,” McHenry said. “I step out, focus on the midsection, don’t really go for the fakes, keep my feet moving, keep my stick up and I just try and stay in front of her. I was successful today.” Duke sprung out to an early 3-0 lead, which included two goals from Chrest, one of which she scored falling down. But Virginia’s defense tightened and opportunities opened up for Cavaliers’ sophomore attacker Kate Breslin, who scored two of her game-high four goals to even the score at 4-4 by halftime. Waagbo waited just eight seconds into the second half before giving the Blue Devils back into the lead, taking the opening face off all the way to the cage. For the remainder of the game, Duke focused on maintaining possession just as Kimel had preached all season. “From the beginning we knew it was going to take patience on attack,” Chrest

said. “I think as the game wore on and Virginia gained a little bit of momentum, we realized we had to grab a little bit of that back. And really the only true way to do that was taking the ball, and holding it and saying, ‘We’re in charge here, this is our game, and we’re going to dictate.’” Virginia forced a turnover with less than three minutes remaining and regained possession with the chance to cut the lead to one. But just as she had all day, McHenry came up with a big stop against Appelt, who was whisded for a charging foul. It all but sealed the game for the Blue Devils who added an insurance goal less than a minute later. “It’s kind of hard to describe,” Huether said of her emotion as the clock ticked down. “We’ve been working for this all year and to be up by three against a team like Virginia is an amazing feeling, and it doesn’t happen often.” Duke defeated North Carolina Friday in the semifinals 8-6 to advance to Sunday’s final, with Chrest and sophomore Leigh Jester leading theway with three goals apiece. For the Blue Devils, the league title ends a long streak of frustration in the ACC Championships, including a 3-8 overall record and two losses in their previous final-game appearances. ‘We walked down the hall and I said, ‘They’re going to feel a lot differently about this right now than they will in about five years removed from it,”’ Kimel said. “It’s going to mean so much, it’s a little surreal, and I think we have to recognize this is not our only goal this year. Our goal is to get to Annapolis and to be successful there.”

He played well, struggled throughout the game and failed to score on all seven of his shots, had his shot blocked by Alford. Sophomore Matt Danowski scooped up the rebound and flipped the ball behind his head and into the top left corner of the net, cutting the Terps’ lead to three. Danowski was a rare offensive bright spot for theBlue Devils, leading the team with one goal and three assists. The impressive goal by the 2005 ACC Player of theYear looked like it may awaken the dormant offense, but hopes of a comeback were crushed as Maryland controlled the ball for much of the next seven minutes, capped off by Terrapin attacker Maxwell Ritz picking up a deflected pass and beating Aaron Fenton to extend the Maryland lead back to four with 6:15 remaining. “We kept getting the ball,” Maryland head coach Dave Cottie said. “It’s a hot day and teams aren’t used to playing [games] that close together, and I think the team with the ball made the other team get tired.” The Blue Devils’ defeat followed their 15-11 semifinal victory over fourth-seeded North Carolina Friday. The win was more a relief than anything, as Duke avoided a second-half collapse. Leading 10-3 with just 16 minutes remaining in the contest, the Blue Devils defense allowed five goals over a three-minute stretch to let the Tar Heels back in the game. Fenton helped stop the bleeding with several big blocks, as the senior tied his career-high with 20 saves. “We’ve had a lotof quality goalie performances in my day,” Pressler said after Friday’s game. “I can’t remember one better than Aaron Fenton’s, especially in the first half.” Duke now has at least two weeks until its next matchup, as the team will either play in the NCAA first round May 14 or 15 or gain of when the scored three the last six minutes the third in Terps goals quarter. lead for a Blue Devil defense to take the good, bye to the Quarterfinals May 21 or 22.

RECRUITS from page 1 terpart, but the 6-foot-2, 180-pound point guard will be a welcome addition to a team that lacked offensive stability at the point guard position last season. Paulus notched nine assists at the McDonald's All-American game and 10 at the Hoop Summit. A passfirst point guard, Paulus possesses an innate ability to break down a defense, constantly finding players eitherwide open or in isolation against a single defender. His greatest strength, however, may be one ofhis greatest weaknesses—Paulus is an assist machine, but his high-risk, high-reward passing style generates a number of turnovers. Likewise, he is prone to losing the ball while dribbling, and a streaky shot and less-than-ideal lateral quickness prevent Paulus from being a surefire NBA prospect.

Nevertheless, Paulus is one of the elite passers to come from the high school game, and his toughness and leadership are reminiscent of former great Duke point guards such as Chris Duhon, Steve Wqjciehowski and Bobby Hurley. Streaky shot and turnovers aside, his passing ability is too valu-

able

leave on the bench for any extended

period oftime, and like Mcßoberts, he could challenge for a starting spot immediately. In addition to Mcßoberts, Krzyzewski grabbed another five-star big man, Eric Boateng, one of the nation's top two centers. Originally from London, England, the 6-foot-10, 230-pound Boateng has only three years of experience with

American high school basketball. His long arms and athleticism, however, give him as much potential as any big man in the class. Boateng is a prospect who can do it all—boasting solid footwork, his

shooting range extends to the threepoint line. Nevertheless, Boateng is somewhat slight for his size and is an extremely raw prospect. Like Casey Sanders six years before him, Boateng is a prospect with the athleticism and the physical tools to become one of the ACC's top centers. His lack of experience, however, prevents him from being an immediate-impact player. Along with Boateng and Mcßoberts, 6foot-7, 225-pound power forward Jamal Boykin will help anchor the Duke frontline. Boykin has all the makings of a fan favorite in Cameron Indoor Stadium—he is a heady, hard-working player. Like Paulus, he is also an outspoken and emotional leader. Boykin is a solid defender and a very good rebounder; however, he is undersized as a power forward and not quite as athletic as most shooting forwards. As a

result, he may find it difficult to make an immediate impact as a Blue Devil. The last member of the Duke recruiting class, Martynas Pocius, is the most unknown. A 6-foot-5, 180-pound shooting guard from Lithuania, Pocius has been playing basketball at a small prep school in New Hampshire the last two years and has not played on the AAU basketball circuit. As a result, he is a relatively unknown prospect. Nevertheless, he is said to be a tremendous athlete with a sweet shot, garnering scholarship offers from the likes of Arizona, Kansas and Utah, high school head coach Jamie Gallagher said. He could, then, give the Blue Devils the athletic wing player they coveted in the class. He is very slender for his height, however, and his lack of exposure makes it difficult to predict what impact he will have on Duke's team next year.

SEGREGATION from page 1 said, but he was not as bothered as some of his friends. “It's not surprising to me that people exist who aren't as culturally sensitive as they should be,” he said. “There are people here who will smile in your face when they see you walking down the [Bryan Center] walkway and don’t think you should be here.” The student allegedly pictured in the photo denied ever appearing in blackface, and the photo is no longer available on thefacebook.com.

Mapping the social scene A wide range of students interviewed by The Chronicle said they rarely attend social gatherings where they are among the racial minority. Usually the students said they are left wondering why their group of close friends does not include many people from other races—and they identify a variety of causes. “My friends tell me, ‘A lot of the white students here at Duke are close-minded,’ but then I have white friends who say ‘minorities are segregating amongst themselves,”’ said senior Jurgen Fernandez. “Some white people feel like the minorities need to assimilate to them, and if they don’t, they see it as the minority trying to display themselves to be different. I think sometimes they feel put off.” Outgoing Duke Student Government President Pasha Majdi, a senior, believes students group together by race because they are polarized by social oudets, such as specific cultural groups. It is an unconscious decision, he said. For many minority students, college is the first time they are in constant contact with other people of the same racial background. “It’s a great chance to befriend them and learn your history,” said Majdi. Majdi added that in many situations, students will see a group of people of the same race spending time together and make assumptions about group members’ social preferences. “It's really important that... you don't write them off as someone that doesn't want to have any other friends,” he said.

Many students, however, said they cannot ignore the fact that they keep seeing the same groups of people at the same events.

“All of these events—Awaaz, the step show, Mezcla, Lunar New Year—it’s open to the public and most of them are free, but I only see minorities going to that, I don’t really see white students going to that,” Fernandez said. Fernandez said he does not believe minority students are excluding themselves. In fact, he thinks minorities are more open than the majority to creating more dialogue. The experience of being a member of a minority group shapes those students’ perspectives in ways that white students never see, he said.

Causes of the divide Shirin Neyzi, a sophomore, said that although weekend parties are never advertised as exclusive to one race or another, such exclusivity is implied. Although the University does not keep statistics about the racial makeup of greek organizations, Neyzi and others said those organizations contribute to the divide, “It’s greek life that perpetuates segregation, but it’s people’s mentalities that push them to do what they want to do,” she said. “If people* wanted to, they would find a “Some white people feel like way to get away the minorities need to assimifrom segregating themselves.” late to them, and if they don’t, Todd Adams, director of the Ofsee it as the minority trythey fice of Fraternity ing to display themselves to be and Sorority Life, oversees the predifferent.

Most IFC fraternities have housing on West Campus, but only one NPHC fraternity has housing. And although Adams said official statistics are not available, many students said minorities were underrepresented in IFC and Panhel, which represent most greek students. The next step While some students see a problem that needs to be fixed, others see a situation that mirrors the real world—andresponses vary just as widely. “People talk about social segregation at Duke, but I feel like it’s no more than the world at large,” Stratton said. “Duke is a microcosm of the world—it’s not a place where people come here and all of a sudden black people don’t want to hang with white people. People always find something to divide themselves over, and race just happens to be the most easily distin-

guishable thing.” Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said nobody—not even the administration—can dictate the social atmosphere on campus. “The role of the administration will and has been to create conditions where students will create change,” Moneta said. “What we don’t do is simply force ‘hand-

holding’ experiences.”

Some of the students seeking social change founded the Center for Race Relations, which aims to address race relations through education, social interaction and dialogue. “I think social segregation isn’t so

much of a problem as an issue that needs to be addressed,” said sophomore Felix Li, co-president of CRR, noting that he has seen a change in campus climate since the organization was founded. “There is more of an awareness and willingness to talk about identity—willingness for the silence to be broken. Although many people see the same social divisions on campus, not everyone thinks a solution is necessary. “Too much attention is given to trying to make everyone feel like they’re the same here. We’re not all the same,” Stratton said. “There are differences in our cultures that are there, and will be there. But we can coexist in these different cultures.”

Instead, there will be a morning spent on a porch with a friend, drinking mimosas and composing tag lines for imaginary erotic novels. There will be a summer spent with my roommate, painting our entire apartment with 1 cm brushes. There will be a midnight picnic at the foot of the world’s largest bureau in High Point. And, of course, there will be people—-

people who, like Duke and like Durham, will stick in my memory for all the trivial aspects of their personality. A friend whose passion for being pantsless was simply astounding. One whose lizard impression never ceased to amuse. One who cursed unabashedly while playing one-on-one volleyball in Wilson.... Of course these friends are much more than a sum of their traits, but it was, and always will be, the little quirks that made them mine. I can only hope that my friends, too, will remember me for all the stupid stories they could tell about me. I would rather my memory evoke a laugh, bewilderment or even a sneer than a nebulous feeling of warmth and good will. If I can pull this off, then in the end, we’ll all leave this place with duffels full of recollections that will be of no use to anyone but ourselves. And that’s what’s going to make them worth keeping.

Sun can cause health risks Like Rebecca Arnold, the student quoted in an April 27 article “Students risk health to bask in sun,” I was warned by my doctors from an early age to take extra care in the sun because of my fair skin. After a lifetime of trying my best to follow their advice, I underwent surgery to remove an early-stage melanoma last fall at age 24. I was fortunate that my disease was caught early, and I received excellent follow-up care, but it was still one of the most nervewracking experiences of my life. I will never feel completely safe in the sun again. I hope that students will consider the experiences of people who have struggled with

skin cancer the next time they think about tanning. Melanoma can happen to anyone, but you exacerbate the risk by spending time in the sun without protection. It may be difficult to take a long-term perspective on this at age 19, but I urge you to think about the wealth of experiences that still await you and take care of your bodies for the long haul. Beautiful people come in all shades, and there is no shame in taking responsibility for your health. Leah Masselink Trinity ’O2

CAFTA could cause environmental hazards At first, I was surprised to see The Chronicle pop up on my Google Alerts yesterday on Central American Free Trade Agreement alerts, but then I was excited to see what my alma maters paper had to say about the CAFTA debate. I was saddened to see that the article focused entirely on the economic arguments for CAFTA and didn’t at all discuss the other impacts of these free trade agreements on our daily lives. Although I would not agree with big business that CAFTA is good for our economy, I challenge The Chronicle staff and Duke Students to think of these issues from a larger viewpoint. CAFTA, as NAFTA has, will threaten the ability of our communities, states and nation to protect its citizens against environmental hazards. It not only leaves out real, enforceable environmental protection in the language of the agree-

Campaign aims At the recent Reunion Weekend I attended the State of the University address by President Richard Brodhead. Upon entering Page Auditorium, a student handed me what appeared to be, based on the front cover, a program for the morning’s events. I discovered, however, that the inside had nothing to do with the State of the University, but was about the “struggle for workers’ rights.” While the struggle for workers’ rights is often a commendable one, and one that is not new on the Duke campus, the situation decried in this leaflet was not commendable. In essence, the Duke Health System outsourced its laundry service, with price presumably one of the factors used in choosing the contractor. Now a segment of the Duke student body is demanding

ment, but it also enables foreign corporations to sue our governments for any law that they

feel hurts their profit margin. Over the past ten years with NAFTA, many laws that are meant to protect public health have been challenged by corporations. California is paying out millions of dollars to a Canadian corporation for banning a carcinogenic gasoline-additive that was seeping into hundreds of communities’ groundwater. Are you willing to risk your clean drinking water or your government’s right to make laws that protect human health for the sake of a corporation making a few million more dollars a year? CAFTA is bigger than trade and economics. It’s about our democracy. Erica Maharg Trinity ’O3

at wrong target changes in the outsource firm’s human resource practices. It strikes me that the concerned students are fighting the batde at the wrong time and with the wrong villain. They should be demanding that the Duke Health System choose a different outsource contractor and be prepared to pay the higher costs that are bound to come with higher wages, lower production quotas, and unionization. I also wish that the students would give some attention to “truth in labeling.” I found the whole incident misguided and tasteless. If the organizers set out to offend alumni, they succeeded with me.

Breaking all the rules I love rules. When I first took on the job of editor, one of my goals was to re-instill the rules in the staff. Those ranged from the mundane and important (spelling and grammar) to the important feeling but trivial (all of the elements lining up perfecdy when they were laid on the page) to the minutiae of procedure during the production process and organizational management. And at 201 finally learned what most people learn at four or five: Rules are made to be broken. It’s like the rules of fashion or the English language—we’re supposed to learn all of the rules backwards and forwards so that we can learn when to abandon them. The spirit of the rule is more important than the specific detail, and we frequently can’t abide by both. I came in trying to strengthen The Chronicle’s adherence to and respect for the rules, and in doing so I learned how to be flexible. Rules are helpful because they offer a course of action. If we follow the rules properly, we don’t have to reinvent the wheel —someone already figured out the best process for making a newspaper every day. There are generic responses to sources who karen hauptman claim they were miseditor's column quoted and pre-fab ancallers swers to angry who object to a column that ran in the paper. If we play by the rules, I thought, we would be safe. But it turns out some situations don’t lend themselves to cookie-cutter strategies. There were no rules for how to cover the Palestine Solidarity Movement conference, which had turned violent in previous years and stayed peaceful, but raised emotions on campus. There were even fewer for how to handle reaction to the column we printed after PSM that expressed a valid opinion, but in doing so unintentionally used language that opened still-raw wounds. On two major occasions when we printed articles and columns that hurt people I knew and was close to, I had no manual to follow that told me how to maintain my personal relationships outside of the newspaper. So even after learning all of those rules, and learning when to break them, sometimes I was still left feeling like a deer caught in the headlights, without a clue of what to do or where to turn. The easy answer is also the hardest: Ask for advice. It was tough to ask for help when I felt like I was supposed to be the one with all of the answers. I was lucky this year to have a senior staffwhom I could turn to for advice in any number of situations—from the best way to design a front page to the best way to respond to an angry e-mail—and alumni who were willing to help out and answer middle-of-the-night phone calls. It’s impossible to have all of the answers. The key was in knowing where to find the answers. Sometimes even the dozen or more people I asked for advice didn’t have the answers. And yet we kept going, publishing close to 150 issues. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the best and worst thing about a daily newspaper is also the most basic aspect: there’s a new one every day. When we put out an issue that was less than stellar, or it had mistakes in it, or someone was mad about something in it, we only had to look at it for one day because it was gone the next. But when we were terrifically proud of an issue, when we broke an important story or designed a beautiful graphic or put together an entire newspaper full of solid, well rounded coverage, we couldn’t rest on our laurels—that one was gone in a day, too. Like it or not, no matter how great or terrible the day before was, we had to start over and do it all again for the next day. As of today, all of that starting over is someone else’s job. I am going to take the summer off and then start back up with college in the fall with a full courseload and without 90 hours ofnewspaper work each week or a staff of more than 100 people around me. And all I’ve got to go on is a bunch ofideas about when to break rules—and a few sources for reliable advice when I get stuck.

Karen Hauptman is a Trinity junior and editor of The Chronicle. Like her predecessors, she aches with the knowledge that she’ll never be either again.
