THE CHRONICLE

With its best ever finish in the Directors’ Cup standings, Duke showed it could compete with the traditional national athletic powerhouses despite financial deficiencies. Two years after athletic department officials released a mission statement thatadmitted winning the Directors’ Cup —a national competition that ranks schools’ overall athletic departments based on NCAA championship finishes—was no longer a feasible goal for the program financially, Duke has secured a top-five finish for the first time in its history. The Blue Devils captured a national in championship women’s golf, five additional topfive finishes, and 11 total top-10 finishes. Duke, currendy sits in fourth place in the standings with just the results from the College World Series to be added. Since Texas has clinched at least a top-four finish in baseball, it will pass Duke when the final standings are released June 29. Stanford has already clinched its llth-straight Directors’ Cup, sponsored by the United States Sports Academy, followed by UCLA and Michigan. In addition, Duke will finish first among schools in the ACC

Randolph declares

Following in the footsteps of a handful of players who left Duke early, Shavlik Randolph announced his decision to remain in the NBA draft Tuesday. He does not plan to return to the Blue Devils if he is not drafted June 28.

Duke administrators announced Monday that an independent analysis concluded that hydraulic fluid accidentally used in place of detergent to wash surgical tools last fall did not compromise the sterilization process of the instruments. Details of the analysis were included in a letter sent to the approximately 3,800 patients who were exposed to the tainted tools at Duke-run Durham Regional Hospital and Duke Health Raleigh in November and December 2004. The analysis was performed by Dr. William Rutala, a University of North Carolina professor and director of the Statewide Program in Infection Control and Epidemiology at the UNC School ofMedicine. He said he recreated the set-up using samples of the used hydraulic fluid provided by Duke. “In these laboratory experiments, we found that replacing cleaning detergent with hydraulic fluid did not alter the effectiveness of the sterilization process as high numbers of clinically-relevant bacteria and standard test spores... were completely inactivated,” Rutala said in the letter. The letter—the second sent to the affected patients—came on the heels of a report released

June

16 by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services that said Duke “failed to ensure quality and safety of supplies” and put patients in “immediate Jeopardy.” CMS officials have since said Duke is now in full compliance with its standards. Several patients have stepped forward and blamed post-operative problems on the tools. The News and Observer reported that 50 patients have contacted lawyers about the incident. Dr. Victor Dzau, president and CEO of Duke University Health System and chancellor for Health Affairs, spoke publicly for the first time about the incident and patients’ responses June 15. “No causal connection has been established between any of these patients’ outcomes and instruments exposed to the fluid,” Dzau said. “I want to assure you that the health and welfare of our patients will always be our top priority.” According to the CMS report, the root of the incident was an Automatic Elevator Co. employee who, while inspecting an elevator at Duke Health Raleigh, drained hydraulic fluid into empty drums labeled as containing detergent last September.

Angelica, union reach agreement by

Tiffany Webber THE

CHRONICLE

In what many are hailing as a victory, Angelica Corp. —the industrial laundry service Duke University Health System contracts—has reached an agreement with the workers’ union UNITE HERE. As a result of the agreement, workers at non-unionized Angelica plants, such as the local Durham plant, can decide if and how to unionize without facing any pressure from company management. The agreement stipulates that non-unionized plants will use a “card check” campaign, as opposed to a secret ballot campaign, when deciding whether to unionize under UNITE HERE, which currendy represents workers at 23 of Angelica’s 35 plants nationwide. A card check requires workers who support unionizing under

UNITE HERE to sign their alliance with the union publicly. A third party —separate from Angelica management, the workers and the union—will then determine if the signatures are authentic and declare whether a majority of the workers support joining UNITE HERE. If a majority supports unionization, all of the workers —regardless of their vote—will then be represented by the union. Harris Raynor, international vice president and director of the southern region for UNITE HERE, said a card check campaign allows for workers to make a “much more affirmative” decision. Unlike a secret ballot campaign, he explained, a card check creates a more proactive and open allegiance with a union. SEE ANGELICA ON PAGE 7

Under the agreement between Angelica Corp. and UNITE HERE, workers at Angelica's Durham plant will have the chance to vote for unionization.

newsinbrief House OKs flag-burning ban A constitutional amendment to outlaw flag 1 burning cleared the House Wednesday but faced an uphill battle in the Senate. The 286-130 outcome was never in doubt in the House, which had passed similar measures in recent years. The Senate could consider the measure as soon as next month.

GOP softens Social Security plans by David Espo THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Blending conservative principles with political caution, key Republicans rallied Wednesday behind a plan to introduce Social Security personal accounts on a more modest scale than President George W. Bush favors. Officials said that under the proposal, for an initial three-year period, surplus Social Security funds would be used to establish individual accounts for willing younger workers. The money would be in the form of “marketable Treasury bonds,” according to a written description, with the interest rate set by the government.

Unlike current law, according to Rep. Jim McCrery, R-La., the effect would be to create a financial obligation to individual workers by name. He contrasted that to the current arrangement, which he described as the government promising to pay social security benefits and get them “from somewhere.” “Our bill is the first bite at a bigger reform,” Texas Rep. Sam Johnson said at a news conference. Several Republicans said the proposal may be brought to the House floor next month, possibly as part ofa broader measure making changes in pensions and other retirement issues. Democrats swifdy accused Republicans

of mounting a fresh attempt to privatize the Depression-era program. “This is privatization, plain and simple,” said Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich. “Just like President Bush’s plan, this proposal would take money from Social Security to set up private accounts.” In a blow to the White House, Republicans said their measure will not contain any of the politically painful cost-cutting steps needed to ensure long-term solvency for Social Security—higher taxes, an increase in the retirement age or curbs in benefits. Democrats are virtually united in their opposition and are preparing to use the issue in the 2006 midterm elections.

Iraqi government wins EU support by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS, Belgium

Iraq won wide

and concrete support from the international community Wednesday, prompting bursts of optimism for the country as it struggles to rebuild its security forces in the midst of withering insurgent attacks. No new money was offered at a meeting that was never intended as a donors conference, but the gathering was applauded as proof that sharp differences over the U.S.led invasion of Iraq could be put aside to help Iraqis now. “It’s a good day for Iraq,” Iraqi Foreign

Minister Hoshyar Zebari said joyfully. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, clearly moved, called it a “watershed” moment for the nation. A new donors conference to be held July 18-19 in Amman, Jordan was one of the steps established for the future. Other plans included assurances from several nations to follow through on recent pledges of aid or to consider debt relief and expert advice on drafting a constitution before the December elections. The one-day conference on Iraq, hosted by the European Union and the United States at Iraq’s request, brought togeth-

er more than 80 senior officials from around the world. They came to hear Iraq’s road map for reform—a plan focusing on reconstruction, security and the political process —as well as Baghdad’s checklist of what it needs to rebuild its legal system and police force, restore stability and re-establish diplomatic relations. Iraq, led by Prime Minister Ibrahim alJaafari, asked for a Marshall Plan, an economics package which he said “offered the people of Germany financial support and pushed Germany toward independence and security.”

THE CHRONICLE

When Duke University Police Chief Clarence Birkhead arrived on campus 17 years ago, he came with the same goal thousands of new students have every year—to learn. “I really saw the need to continue my education,” he said. “I didn’t know anything about campus law enforcement when I came here in ’BB. I’ve really learned everything here.” Before leaving Duke June 30 to assume the position of police chief for the nearby town of Hillsborough, Birkhead is tying up loose ends and reflecting on his experiences as police chief. “I would hope people remember me as being fair, honest, professional, politically savvy,” he said. “What I want people to remember is that I’ve really advocated for a safe community and I advocated for the police department, and that I was always fair and tried to do what was right and what I thought was in the best interest of the university and the individuals involved.” Birkhead said he accomplished all the goals he had set for himself and the department during his time at Duke, adding that it would be the people of the University he would miss the most. During his seven-year tenure, Birkhead has dealt with such thorny issues as minority relations, DUPD’s reputation on campus and conflicts with residents off East Campus. He said that though police work is never finished, he thinks he has been successful in addressing all those issues at Duke. “My job is to provide leadership, not only internally to the police department but to the community, and I think I’ve been successful in doing that,” he said. “I think the department has grown under my

leadership, I think officers have developed personally and professionally, and I think our reputation in the community is solid and respected.” Kernel Dawkins, vice president for campus services, said though he has only worked with Birkhead for a year, the police chief had always shown concern for student and faculty issues. “He brought professionalism and a customer focus to the police department,” Dawkins said. Instead of immediately searching for a new police chief, Duke administrators announced they have started a search for someone to fill the newly created position of associate vice president of campus safety and security.

Birkhead said he does not think this position will create more of the bureaucracy that he has sometimes found frustrating while at the University. “It should create more formal ways of communication across divisional lines,” he said. “Different functions will now Come under one manager. Practically, and from an operational standpoint, this should enable divisions to work more closely.” He hopes the position will bring together various departments of the University to tackle the issue of campus safety and security. “I think there should be clear expectations ofother resources.

After receiving the “yes” letters from accepted applicants, Duke plans to welcome an unexpectedly large freshman class next year. Even with the inevitable “summer melt”—the term Director of Admissions Christoph Guttentag uses to describe the average of 70 students who initially accept Duke’s admissions offer but later defer, become sick or change their minds—l,7ls students are predicted to join the Class of 2009; the anticipated number includes 50 members more than the University’s initial enrollment target. Epworth Dormitory will remain open for an extra year to accommodate the overflow. The excess number of incoming students is largely due to an institutional shift in the admissions process. The Pratt School of Engineering boosted its enrollment by 50 students this year—an increase taken into account in the initial target number. Students, however, were also more eager to seize Pratt’s new offers than expected. “We knew that admitting more students than in the past... meant we were less sure of how to predict yield; the returns were just higher than we had anticipated,” Guttentag wrote in an e-mail. Because of the unexpectedly high yield of accepted students, Pratt did not admit any individuals oiff its waitlist. In addition to the new Bell Tower Dormitory, which was constructed to accommodate the deliberate increase in the number of Pratt students, some freshmen will live in Epworth, which the University initially announced would close next year to become temporary office space during the renovation of several departments.

City Council approves downtown projects WOJCIECHOWSKA

BY IZA THE CHRONICLE

Durham City Council approved plans to revitalize the city’s downtown area at a meeting Monday night. Members approved the developments of a new performing arts theater and facilities that will serve as apartments, offices and studio spaces. The projects amount to $2OO million of public and private investments and should be completed by 2008. The theater had been the center of a drawn-out debate regarding need and funding, but the council approved its construction in a 6-1 vote. Officials hope the theater will serve to expand the arts and cultural scene through contracts with international theater operator Nederlander Producing Company of America, Inc. The theater will also become a venue for the American Dance Festival, which has spent its past 28 summers in Durham. The primary source of money for the $3l-million theater is a 1-percent increase in a hotel occupancy tax implemented in 2002. Duke and other private investors will also provide funds for the project. The council also decided to sell the site of the former Woolworth Company store to developers who plan to construct a building for apartments, offices and retail spaces. Up to $11.3 million in incentives, such

as tax deferral and improved streetscape, will also be given to Blue Devil Ventures—a company established by former Duke student-athletes Christian Laettner, Brian Davis and Tom Niemann. The company will use the money to begin renovating seven former Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company warehouses as part of the second phase of construction in their West Village complex. The buildings will be converted into offices, shops, art studios and loft apartments. BDV’s plans also include renovating the Amtrak station located within the complex. In a push from Durham’s Small Disadvantaged Businesses Enterprise, all three projects focus on hiring minority contractors. “Anytime [city representatives] give money to the private sector, they like to obviously try to hire minority firms as much as possible,” said Duane Marks, director of development for BDV. “It’s kind of a bestpractices thing.” Construction on all projects is slated to start byjanuary 2006 and will be concurrent with the American Tobacco Project —Capitol Broadcasting Company’s multimilliondollar effort to renovate former tobacco warehouses located in downtown Durham.

OSAF assumes more responsibilities on campus by

Salim Chen

THE CHRONICLE

The Office ofStudent Activities and Facilities is taking advantage of the relative calm of the summer months to make a number of institutional changes. OSAF will take over the management of the student spaces in the Bryan Center, the West Union Building and the upper East Union Building. In addition, OSAF director Gregg Heinselman has announced his resignation. Until his successor is found, three associate directors will lead OSAF. Administrators made the decision to transfer the student spaces to OSAF’s jurisdiction to ensure that the areas were being used to maximize benefits for students, said Zoila Airall, assistant vice president for student affairs. Control of dining areas and theater spaces will remain under current man-

p-v

agement. “As far as I was concerned, those spaces that are student center spaces, [OSAF] needs to control,” she said. “We need to make sure we are the ones who are advocating for the students.” Airall said when the spaces were previously controlled by Events Management, students who called to make reservations often could not get the space they wanted at the times they wanted. She said that now, though Events Management will still handle setting up furniture and electronics in the spaces, reservations will be made through OSAF. “This way, with us now taking over the management, students will come first,” she added. The management of the Information Desk in the Bryan Center will also be transferred from Events Management to OSAF. Airall said she wanted to make sure that the individuals who worked

there knew more about what was happening on campus. “We’ll add an educational component; there will be more responsibility,” she ex-

plained.

Airall also said that though numerous

changes are being made at OSAF, the services it offers will not be different. “The changes will change the way we do business, but I think the changes will not be bad,” she said. “We’re trying to make this as seamless as possible.” Amid the various organizational shifts, Heinselman recently announced he will leave the University in the coming weeks. When Heinselman arrived at Duke in November 2003, he was heralded as a specialist in constructing student centers, having aided in the planning of buildings at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville and Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff.

Effective July 1, Senior Associate Director of Student Organizations Melinda Roper, Associate Director for Student Leadership Andrea Caldwell and Associate Director for Buildings and Facility Services Tony Bumphus will take the reins in the interim.

Employee parking permits available Faculty and staff can now renew their parking permits for the 2005-2006 academic year.

Parking and Transportation Services said most employees’ permit fees increased less than $1 per month; rates for permits in remote lots increased by 15 to 20 cents per month.

Renewal forms are available at the PTS office and on the website. PTS is encouraging employees to renew their permits before July 27 so they will receive them before Aug. 16, when the new permits are officially required for parking. In an attempt to encourage environment-friendly practices, PTS is offering discounts to three or more people who carpool and will allow two people who ride together to share the full annual cost of a permit.

tients’ own blood cells would facilitate the replacement of arteries with more dependable grafts. The researchers—led by Laura Niklason, associate professor of biomedical engineering—grew the arteries by inducing growth of cells from the saphenous leg veins, which are currently used in bypass surgery. Niklason said the idea to culture replacement blood vessels from elderly patients’ cells first came to mind when she was a resident of anesthesiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. “During my residency I can always remember doctors looking in all kinds of areas for strong, healthy vessels,” said Niklason. “I concluded it would be very beneficial to grow vessels independently.” Niklason first grew and implanted vessels in pigs in 1999, but when she turned to humans, she had to face the challenge of the cells’ short life cycles caused by a lack of telomerase—an enzyme that prevents cell shortening following cell division. She joined forces with Christopher Counter, associate professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, and the researchers induced telomerase expression in the cells, which prolonged the cells’ life cycles. Although the created vessels withstood simulation blood pulses and produced improved levels of collagen to support vessel structure, Niklason said the arteries only reached about half the strength that would be needed for actual SEE BLOOD ON PAGE 9

ANGELICA from page 1 Raynor added that a more open voting method allows workers to see other supporters of the union. A secret ballot, however, can instill uncertainty, which

can breed fear or intimidation. “Our experience is that when workers are given a choice—free of intimidation—99.9 percent of the time they choose to unionize,” Raynor said. Union organizers in Durham said local Angelica workers would have joined a nationwide strike against the company, which was scheduled to begin last month. Organizers, however, cancelled the strike when the company hired temporary workers. Jeff Hoffman, general manager for Durham’s Angelica facility, declined to comment on the new agreement, Angelica employees have previously told The Chronicle that they have experienced unfair working conditions and harassment from anti-union workers and management. Although the Durham plant has never been charged with violating any health and safety standards by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational and Safety Health Administration, three Angelica plants in other states were charged with over $120,000 in fines by the federal agency last year. As a policy, the University and DUHS does not directly force companies to unionize. John Burness, senior vice president for government and public relations, said the Duke administration is pleased with the agreement though the University had no explicit role in the negotiating process. “We are delighted to see the workers and the union come to an agreement,”

Duke contracted Angelica Corp. in April 2004.The company has since faced charges of worker mistreatment. Burness said. “We thought it would be difficult to make the workers come to a decision to join a union and didn’t see it as the University’s role to make that decision for them.” The University had indicated it wanted Angelica to improve working conditions at the Durham plant, Burness added. Jeff Molter, director of the Duke University Medical Center News Service, said it would be inappropriate for DUHS to comment on an agreement in which Duke played no role. Duke’s chapter of Students Against Sweatshops joined efforts with UNITE HERE last year, hoping to improve conditions in the workplace for Angelica employees by raising public awareness. Members of SAS believe the University should hold Angelica responsible for fostering

an unhealthy workplace environment. Over the past year, SAS staged several demonstrations and held various protests, one of which took place at an address President Richard Brodhead gave to students March 22. Junior Mary Grant, a member of SAS, said the group is happy about the Angelica and UNITE HERE agreement, but stressed that advocacy work is never complete. “Duke and the Durham community came out in solidarity many times as the Angelica workers fought their battle for dignity on their jobs,” she wrote in an email. “We will continue to stand in solidarity with Angelica workers until they win respect on the job, until workers are free to express their opinion on unionization, until workers no longer request our solidarity.”

The drums were mistakenly sent back to Cardinal Health—the supplier of the detergent. Without checking the contents, Cardinal Health returned the drums to four hospitals in North Carolina: Duke, Durham Regional, Duke Health Raleigh and Wake Forest University Bapdst Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Only the fluid in the barrels at Durham Regional and Duke Health Raleigh, however, were used. The report said the fluid color of the detergent is normally milky, but photographs examined in January 2005 revealed that at least one bin had fluid the color of “maple syrup,” which was later determined to be the hydraulic fluid. Staff interviews at Durham Regional included in the report revealed that several employees noticed “oily instruments” and reported their condition in November. One worker said the instruments had to be “rewashed several times” and that the Engineering Department came to examine the potential problem “at least 6 or 7 times.” According to the report, staff felt “frustrated and ticked off that no one would listen” to its complaints that a problem existed. “The oiliness created double work for all 0f... [the] staff,” the report states. “They were rewashing by hand as many of the loads as possible.” In December, some staff members said instruments had become even more oily and that “some of the trays were leaving a yellow stain on the white liners.” The fluid mix-up was not identified as the source of the problem until later that month. The report revealed “no surgeries were cancelled based on these complaints.”

September 2004 An Automatic Elevator Co. technician empties used elevator hydraulic fluid into bins labeled as detergent containers at Duke Health Raleigh. The bins are shipped back to the supplier of the detergent, Cardinal Health. -

In addition to rewashing and sterilizing all instruments, Duke changed several of its policies in the wake of the incident. According to the report, for instance, all containers five gallons or larger will be destroyed after being used and container labels will be defaced with a black marker. Duke recently sent a sample of the used hydraulic fluid to an independent laboratory for chemical analysis to determine whether any foreign chemicals or particles were present in the liquid. Officials will report the results of the analysis within a few weeks. Jeff Molter, director of the Medical Center News Service, said the Exxon Mobile Corporation—which produced the hydraulic fluid—was slow to provide the University with the information about the chemical make-up of the liquid. Duke asked for the data soon after the incident but only received it June 7. According to Exxon’s data, if the liquid

is injected into or under the skin, individuals should immediately seek medical attention for “a surgical emergency” because “surgical treatment within the first few hours may significandy reduce the ultimate extent of injury.” Bennie Holland, a resident of Coats, N.C., was the first patient to file a lawsuit because of the mix-up. The suit was aimed at Cardinal Health and Automatic Elevator Co. After surgery Nov. 10, Holland was diagnosed with a severe infection at Duke Health Raleigh. He was released but returned two days later complaining of high fever and other symptoms ofinfection. Frustrated with the hospital and Duke’s response, Holland said he sought medical help from the Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine in North Charleston, S.C. A doctor there diagnosed him with petroleum poisoning. Holland said he was taking upwards of 50 pills each day to purify his body and build up immunity. The medicine worked,

he said, adding that his color returned, and he felt better. But when he returned home to North Carolina, Holland had to undergo surgery to have his gall bladder removed because it was infected. Doctors told him the infection could have been a result of the petroleum poisoning. Holland said he is still experiencing the effects of the infection he believes was caused by the tainted tools. “I wouldn’t trust Duke Health to do anything. My pets get better care from their veterinarian,” he said. Holland noted that he hopes Duke will provide patients with more information about the fluid mix-up. “If they are spending all their energy trying to create a treatment, rather than a defense, people would accept the problem better,” he said. “Duke University was known to be ethical, and I think they have lost some of that.” Holland added that there are many more patients who have not yet come forward with more serious problems than his own.

dorm after the 2005-2006 school year. “Miracle of miracles, we have Epworth for one year more,” said Don Love, manager of housing assignments and communications. He added that Epworth can accommodate a total of 52 students. Though a housing dilemma was avoided this year, Love said it is uncertain whether there will be problems in future years if class sizes remain larger than expected. “The odds are very likely that there will be, at some point, more students than the target, and when that happens, we will do our best to accommodate the students as best as possible,” he said. He added that potential accommodations include changing the number of students housed in each room or implementing a lottery system for available rooms for students returning from studying abroad. Of the roughly 1,000 applicants on the waidist this year, only 22 were admitted—a considerable decrease from last year’s 86.

Students on the waidist were only admitted to Trinity College of Arts and Sciences because unlike Pratt, the school did not meet its capacity for enrollment. Other universities may also be experiencing potential difficulties with class sizes. Lower waidist acceptance is a “oneyear phenomenon” across the nation, Guttentag said. Princeton University, Yale University and Johns Hopkins University admitted their entire incoming classes through early and regular decision this year; no students were admitted from the waitlists. The drop is significant for Princeton and Johns Hopkins, which took 99 and 150 students off the waidist last year, respectively. “I think many of our peer schools saw increases in their applicant pools this year,” Guttentag wrote in an e-mail. “We all like to be able to admit some students from the waiting list, and I think we’ll all

adjust accordingly next year.” Guttentag said Duke intends to admit

fewer freshmen next year to allow for a certain percentage of students to be let in off the waitlist.

clearly defined role,” he said. Currently police officers are often called on for

non-criminal problems such as noise complaints—an issue that should be resolved by residential staff, Birkhead explained. He added thathe hopes his successor will continue focusing on improving DUPD relations with the community and that the department will become “not just enforcers, but part of the community.” “What our function should be is to indicate to our environment that we are here to serve the University in every aspectof university safety. We do far more than just enforce the law—we’re also ambassadors,” he said. “What I’ve worked tirelessly at is to integrate us into the day to day life of people at Duke.” Birkhead said he has always wanted to return to the municipal policing he did at the beginning of his career, and the Hillsborough opportunity presented itself at the right time. He said though the size of the department and community will be smaller in Hillsborough, a different set of challenges will face him there. “Part of being successful is knowing when it’s time to leave,” Birkhead added. “You want to leave when you’re on top and when your record is fairly unblemished.”

University announces new FLEX service Starting in the fall, students will be able to manage FLEX funds directly through the Bursar’s Office. Under the current system, students must make separate payments to the DukeCard Office through the mail, an office visit or a value transfer station to add money to their FLEX accounts. The new “FLEX to Bursar” service will allow students to charge FLEX payments made to the DukeCard Office to their student account in the Bursar’s Office. FLEX additions will then be billed by the Bursar’s Office along with regular student account transactions.

Before the fall and spring semesters, students may add a maximum of $750 to their FLEX accounts, which they can then choose to charge to their Bursar’s accounts. During the semesters, they can add additional FLEX funds to their accounts so long as they are in good standing with the Bursar’s Office; an account is in good standing if a student has no registration block for a past due balance.

NBA deal RANDOLPH GONE FOR GOOD imposes Blue Devil leaves Duke despite murky future age limit MEN'S BASKETBALL

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE by

Michael Moore

Shavlik Randolph’s career of donning Duke Blue came to a premature ending

THE CHRONICLE

NBA prospects will now be able to play the lottery long before they can be a part of the lottery. The NBA and its players association reached a tentative consensus Tuesday on a new six-year collective bargaining agreement, which includes an increase in the league’s minimum age requirement. American players must now wait one year after the graduation of their high school class, while international prospects must turn 19 during the year in which they enter the draft. National Basketball Players Association President Billy Hunter and NBA Commissioner David Stern held a press conference before Game 6 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio to announce the agreement in principle. This announcement marked the end of what had often been bitter and publicized discussions, with the threat of a lockout looming. The age limit had been the center of much public debate, largely because high schoolers have flooded the NBA Draft in recent years. The trend peaked last year when a record eight prep stars were selected in the first round. In addition, three of the last four No. 1 overall picks Kwame Brown, Dwight Howard and Lebron James—came straight from the high-school ranks. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said top high school players will now likely get more attention from the elite programs, whereas in recent years the phenoms may have been avoided out of a fear they would jump straight to the NBA without ever setting foot on campus. “People in this [highest-rated] pool aren’t necessarily better right now than the people we’re recruiting—in fact some of them aren’t as good,” Krzyzewski said June 12. “But they have the physical characteristics that the NBA is looking for—potential.” As part of the collective bargaining agreement the age limit of the National Basketball Development League, which will now act more like the NBA’s minor league, was lowered from 20 to 18 in order to accommodate players that have no desire to attend college. The NBDL pays its players, making it possible for a prospect to turn professional technically straight out of high school. “This will encourage our scouts to spend time in D-league gyms rather than high school gyms,” Stern said of the changes. With the new policies it is unknown how the college game will be affected. Prospects still have the options of prep school and the NBDL rather than playing in the NCAA Some college coaches have said that prep schools may be a better option

Tuesday. Randolph decided to remain eligible for the NBA draft June 28, forfeiting the chance to return to Duke for his senior season despite an unclear future. He informed the coaching staff ofhis decision Tuesday afternoon, Duke Sports Information Director Jon Jackson confirmed. Early-entry candidates had until 5 p.m. June 21 to withdraw their names from the NBA draft and maintain their college eligibility. “Obviously there’s an element of uncertainty and doubt,” Randolph told the Associated Press. “But there’s an old saying that the reward is in the journey, and I’m a firm believer in that. I definitely know I’ve got one heck of a journey in front of me.” Randolph has not yet signed with an agent, but he told the News & Observer he planned to explore his representation options within a few days. Randolph first announced he would declare for the draft May 13, and at the time his father said his intentions were to return to school. Kenny Randolph said his son was using the opportunity as a chance to hear feedback from NBA scouts in order to prepare him better for the process next summer. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski said he supported Randolph, although he would not have made the same decision at this time if he were Randolph. “My intentions are to come back to Duke because I think we’ll have a chance to do something special next year,” Randolph told the AP after a workout with the Charlotte Bobcats June 6. “I don’t want to rule out any options, but that’s been my

Boston College’s Fenway Park party June 30 will celebrate the final step in a movement toward a new era in ACC history. Once a closely-knit group of schools known for their heated basketball rivalries, the ACC will now assume its new identity as a twelve-team super-conference that spans some 1,500 miles of the Atlantic coast. The primary motivation behind the additions of Virginia Tech and Miami this time last year, and now Boston College, was the NCAA requirement that a conference be comprised of 12 teams to hold a foot-

ball championship. Title games, such as the ones currently held in the SEC and Big-12, are major financial boons for conferences and their member schools, bringing in revenue from television rights, ticket sales and corporate sponsorship. The ACC announced April 25 that the inaugural tide game, which will be televised on ABC and sponsored by Dr. Pepper, will be held on December 3. Revenue from the football championship game is expected to exceed $lO millionand will be split among all the members of the conference. When the ACC began examining possible expansion scenarios in 2003, arch-rivals Duke and North Carolina stood together opposing the move. The school presidents agreed with coaches, administrators and faculty who felt that expansion would cause unnecessary geographic displacement and would damage the ACC’s image. Once the deals were struck for Miami and Virginia Tech to join, however, then-Duke President Nan Keohane decided to endorse the “inevitable” move from

11 to 12 teams. Even though time has passed and tempers have cooled, some of the original concerns about expansion still exist. Members of the faculty have said they worry that the trips to Miami and Boston College will disrupt the student-athletes’ academic experience and put additional strain on an already-tight athletic budget. “I don’t think budgetarily it’s going to make much difference,” Senior Associate SEE BC ON PAGE 16

THE CHRONICLE

Although the College World Series is nearing its conclusion, Duke’s search for a new baseball coach is just heating up. The search committee, which had hoped to have a new head coach in place by July 1, has been forced to push back its target date but has made progress, said Chris Kennedy, the senior associate athletic director and

chair of the committee. “It’s going well,” Kennedy said. “This is a tough time of year to hire somebody with a committee because people on the committee keep leaving town.” The committee, comprised ofathletic administrators, former players and faculty members, is looking for a replacement for former head coach Bill Hillier, who resigned May 25. More than 100 applicants contacted the athletic department about the job opening, Kennedy said, and the pool has been narrowed to six or seven finalists. He expected interviews to begin some time next week and still hopes to have a candidate in place by July 15. “I’d kind of heard they were looking toward the middle of the month,” senior Adam Murray said. “Obviously the sooner the better not only for recruiting purposes, but also for the current guys on the team.” Kennedy said he has already received approval from the athletic directors at the candidates’ respective schools about contacting the coaches for interviews. The committee is seeking a replacement who will be able to recruit effectively, cultivate talent, stress academics and promote an environment in which the studentathletes will mature. These same qualities have been at the heart of the search since its outset, and Kennedy said the finalists are men who exhibit these traits. “When a high school recruit is looking at this situation we want a coach that gives them confidence to get better,” Kennedy said. He added that the committee is looking for a candidate that will prepare players for the major-league level. Duke finished 14-39 this past season and failed to win a single road game.

for the second time in the 12-year history of the competition. The first occurred during the 1998-1999 academic year, when the Blue Devils finished a thenschool-best 7th. Duke has accomplished this despite drawing from a smaller recruiting pool and working with a tighter budget than most programs that consistendy finish at the top of the standings, Senior Associate Athletic Director Chris Kennedy said. In 2002, the athletic department decided to maintain the status quo within the program, rather than increase funding for existing athledc teams or reduce the overall size of the department. “What we realized at the time was that would necessitate allocation of university resources out of proportion of what we thought the benefit would be,” Kennedy said. The athletic department anticipated that the Duke program could field a few teams that would compete for a national title each year but would lack the consistency across all sports to compete for the Directors’ Cup. The Blue Devils have historically remained out of the running for the Directors’ cup title, averaging a 23rd place finish. Duke, however, consistently ranks among the top private schools. Since the publication of the 2002 mission statement, the program had finished 21st in 2003 and 18th in 2004. This year, however, the program’s stellar finish has provided a measure of hope for the future, and 2005’s results could be topped in 2006. “[This year] it was a very strange sense of circumstances,” Kennedy said. “Who would think that a men’s soccer team

dominated by freshmen would do as well as it did? In soccer, it was an issue of very young talent being ready to take on this level of competition right away. In men’s lacrosse it was...an issue of maturing talent. We had a lot of things fall right for us.” Among the Duke teams that challenged for a national championship this year, few have lost significant senior talent and many are expected to compete for national titles again next year. Kennedy attributed the program’s success to the strength of Duke’s coaches and

the recent improvement of the school’s athletic facilities. In the last five years, Duke has tackled a number of facility upgrades that have helped its teams during practice and competition, as well as in recruiting. These improvements include the completion of the Yoh Football Center and Schwartz-Butters Athletic Center, as well as renovations to the tennis facilities and Koskinen Stadium. Plans for a new basketball practice facility have also been approved by Duke’s Board of Trustees.

“I think some of it is a consequence of how much better our' facilities are now than they were five, six, seven years ago,” Kennedy said. “I think that it’s an enormous advantage in recruiting.... A kid shouldn’tbe making a decision based on a locker room, but it sure has an impact.” The Directors’ Cup, which is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, rewards points for a school’s 20 best NCAA finishes (10 for men and 10 for women).

AGE LIMIT from page 11 for a prospect who is solely trying to showcase his talent. College programs generally stress a team-first mentality, as evidenced by the situation of Marvin Williams—who may go No. 1 in Tuesday’s draft but did not start a single game for North Carolina last season. Despite the other options, some college officials fear the new age minimum will bring an influx of athletes who plan on being NBA-bound after just a single season. While these players may bring more talent to the college game, their early exits could hurt a teams’ respective Academic Progress Rating —a figure used by the NCAA to evaluate an individual team’s academic performance. Teams that fail to meet certain standards risk the suspension of athletic scholarships. Along with the age limit, the new collective bargaining agreement contains concessions and compromises from both sides. The owners agreed to increase the salary cap but shortened the maximum length of contracts for both veterans and rookies. Players were appeased by the reduction in escrow taxes on their salaries, and Stern got the increased age minimum he had been pushing for during this season. Although the agreement has been agreed upon in principle, it must be ratified by both the NBA Board of Governors and the Players’ Association next week. 3 bed/2.5 bath two story home for rent in nice, safe neighborhood.

does not appear on most mock draft boards, and with an average of only 6.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game throughout his career it is unknown if he will be one of the 60 players selected in next week’s draft. “He’s not going to be a first round draft pick, and he may not be a second round draft pick, but you never know with the second round because someone late could pick a tall guy,” Krzyzewski said June 12. “If he gets word of that, and he feels that’s good and he wants to go then

Athletic Director Chris Kennedy said. “The trip to BC will just replace —if you’re the tennis coach —a trip you are going to take to Minnesota. That’s sort of a wash.” Beyond logistics, the 12-team conference will have an appreciable impact on the league’s competitiveness in different sports. Some of the most outspoken opponents of expansion were the basketball coaches, including Duke head coaches Mike Krzyzewski and Gail Goestenkors. With 12 teams, each school will play five home-and-home series but will only see the remaining six ACC foes once during the regular season. Coaches have said that, with the loss of the traditional roundrobin, there is not a true regular-season champion anymore. With the addition of the 12th team, the league will be split into two conferences for football. The winner of the two divisions will face off in the championship game. Although the changes to football and basketball have received the vast majority of the headlines, the non-revenue sports

son. The Blue Devils return four seniors and add one of the top recruiting classes in the country, which includes highly-touted big man Josh Mcßoberts. The freshman was expected to compete with Randolph for minutes. “I know that team will be No. 1 with or without me next season,” Randolph told the N&O. “I’ll be rooting for them hard. I wish I could be a part of it, but I’m moving on, and I won’t have that opportunity.” Krzyzewski said that if Randolph had chosen to return to school, that he would have to “be on our mission.” The Raleigh native told the AP he was six credits short of graduation and that his parents supported his decision so long as he promised to complete his degree. As a senior at Broughton High School in Raleigh, Randolph was a McDonald’s All-American and was one of the most prized recruits of his class. However, injuries and illness throughout his Duke career have hindered his production. If Randolph does not hear his name called next week, he can still be invited to try out for NBA teams during the summer as a free agent. Other options include playing in the NBA’s Development League or a professional league overseas. “I prayed a lot about it, and unless you’re a person of faith that comment is probably irrelevant,” Randolph told the N&O. “It’s my dream to play in the NBA, and I’m going for it.”

will also see changes to their schedules. Historically small in women’s lacrosse, rowing and volleyball, the ACC will expand by one, two and two teams in those respective sports. With ACC teams traveling up and down the east coast, the conference and its members will have the opportunity to market to and recruit from new areas. “Having our teams up there all the time and having the name in the paper more for all kinds of sports—that has to have a. positive impact,” Kennedy said. “You’re just not going to have the presence in the media or the public consciousness in [Washington,] D.C. or Baltimore or Boston that you do have in Greensboro, Raleigh or Durham or even Clemson.” Skepticism and past grievances aside, the new era of the ACC begins at midnight July 1, and the conference is looking forward. “We have been welcomed into the conference with open arms,” DeFilippo said. “The transitionfor us has been a lot easier then than it might have been.” Mike Van Pelt contributed to this story.

company Angelica in the spotlight for its labor conditions and relawith tionship workers. But don’t issue any praise to any of these players for improving the plight of workers in the low-wage laundry facilities. The owners of Angelica and collective bargaining group UNITE HERE reached an agreement last week that allows workers in all Angelica’s non-union facilities to choose whether to let UNITE HERE serve as their exclusive bargaining representative. As for UNITE HERE’S side of the deal, the union has agreed to withdraw charges of unfair labor practices that it has filed against Angelica and to cease its campaign against the company. In short, Angelica gets relief from the bad publicity that UNITE HERE and partner organizations have generated and the workers get to vote on whether to accept a union. Workers’ rights per se

SAS began a targeted campaign that included periodic protests ranging from bus stop demonstrations to wrapping the entrance of the Allen Building in aluminum foil. Its most public and disruptive protest occurred during an open speech by President Richard Brodhead to the undergraduate student body. Although the methods SAS employed were sometimes objectionable, there are few people on campus who have not heard of their complaints against Angelica. Local media, including the News & Observer of Raleigh, covered their demonstrations and helped publicize their struggle. In the sense that Angelica and UNITE HERE setded the labor dispute because of pub-

lie attention, SAS’s work contributed to this settlement. But the majority of the time SAS rallied for support, it was for the cause of worker conditions—not for the right to unionize. SAS’s targets were at times confused, sometimes protesting against Duke’s contract with Angelica and sometimes objecting to outsourcing in general. The University was the easiest target, but as this settlement—which does not directly involve Duke—reveals, it was certainly not the most influential one. Any role Duke played in this agreement was purely behind-the-scenes. As has always been University policy, it did not get involved in the direct question of whether the Duke Angelica plant should be unionized. Duke did, however, make Angelica aware that it wanted the laundry facility and UNITE HERE to resolve their private batde. The University’s motivation in this is often understated and perhaps misunderstood, but driving its non-involvement policy is a fundamental thought that all workers’ advocates ought to keep in mind: Sometimes unions are an aid to improving workers’ conditions, but they are not an end in themselves. The impetus is on the people involved to improve conditions; a union alone is no solution.

Finishing fifth

Campus safety needs answers

Why is it that every time the University is trying to change something, their solution is always to increase the level of bureaucracy? As a recent example, Duke University Police Department Chief Clarence Birkhead is retiring June 30, and he will be replaced by a whole new level of administrative bureaucracy: the “Associate Vice President for Campus Safety.” If the University wants to improve campus securi-

ty, we don’t need more administration. Here are some helpful suggestions. 1) Don’t spend $40,000 on SegWay scooters for the police. Bicycles are faster, more maneuverable, look far less ridiculous, and are about 2 percent of the cost. 2) Get rid of the Securitas patrols and use the money to hire more DUPD officers. Many of the Securitas folks are old men who don’t make me feel terribly safe. Others are frequentlyjoking around on the job, spending most of their time at Rick’s sipping coffee or watching FreeWater movies while on duty. 3) I seem to recall a Duke brochure claiming that from every blue light safety phone on campus, you can see two otherblue light safety phones. As near as I can tell, this is not true for any blue light safety phone. On Campus Drive, probably the most likely place that someone will be walking on campus at any given time, it is possible to walk half a mile without seeing a blue light safety phone. How about if we

take the money that we spent on SegWay scooters and spend it on actual campus safety? The University doesn’t need to increase bureaucracy to solve its problems. All they need to do is examine the situation and fix the problems. David Shiffman Trinity ’O7

Goodbye, Shav

Shavlik, we wish you well, my boy, as you go off to the NBA Draft and its guaranteed stardom. Or to Europe to play basketball on courts that have those weird wide lanes. Or to NBA summer leagues to scrounge around with the washed-out and washedup in the hopes of landing a spot being a jockey for superstars to dunk on in practice. Or to wherever you may g0... we wish you well. For my part, I hate to see you go. I always pulled for you when you were out on K’s sacred court. I was even quoted in an article as begging a referee to take it easy on you. We’ll miss your rare ability to pick up fouls like a dog picks up fleas, and your priceless face when you went rigid to take a charge but never got the call. Enjoy the NBA, Shav, and let us know how that guaranteed stardom works out for you.

Sam wants you... to learn Arabic and join the intelligence community! An article in The Chronicle of Higher Education details a new scholarship program created by Senator Bob Graham. D-Fla., and modeled after the military’s ROTC program. Set to begin in 2006, it provides educational funding in return for service to the CIA, FBI, State Department and other such agencies after graduation. Paid for by the Defense Department and organized by die director of national intelligence, these scholarships seek to increase the number of students proficient in the language and culture of the Middle East. The “Intelligence Community Scholar-

the Congressional inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks—a bipartisan investigation that found that, among other things, the CIA and other intelligence agencies lacked essential Arabic skills. The program has been sharply criticized by academics from across the country who argue that it is too similar to programs that are already in place. They also contend that it violates an important separation between higher education and the intelligence community and that such a program could lead foreign countries to bar academic researchers from the United States on the basis that they are spying for the Defense Department. These concerns echo the jitters felt by many in the academic community following Sept. 11. Across the country, scholars have been forced to tread lightly in their public statements and private research, especially following the passage of the PatriotAct. Universities have had to reexamine the way that they treat sensitive information, and the government has even intervened in a few cases, preventing the public release of research that could be potentially valuable to terrorists. As far as this program goes, however, it is important to see past the small criticisms and potential dangers and realize the visible benefits. Yes, the program might be very similar to programs already in place, but so what? Consider this: in the past few years—in the past few weeks even—the government has dramatically reduced federal financial aid, leaving schools and families to pick up the hefty tab. If this program calls for more money to be fimneled to education, university officials should be jumping for joy! For many students, this money will alleviate enormous family burdens and will be the deciding factor in attending college. The argument that higher education and government cannot cross each other’s boundaries is weak both in practice and principle. Every year, millions of dollars of government funding goes towards research, fellowships, scholarships and other educational expenses. And every year, universities lobby for more. Even at private universities like Duke, federal funding is integral to the work of scholars in all fields and of all ages. However, Professor David Gibbs ofthe University of Arizona argues the principle that “in a democracy, you’re supposed to have a separation between certain segments of society.” It is unlikely that the government will be able to snoop any more than it already can into students’ rooms and professors’ files as a result of this scholarship program. But to argue that the government should stay out ofuniversities all together runs counter to the view held by many Founding Fathers that one of government’s most critical roles was ensuring the education of its citizens in order to nourish democracy and safeguard liberty. On a more practical level, this program not only gives the CIA and FBI much-needed translators, but, if it is anything like its sister programs, it will give students an opportunity to live in the Middle East and other countries while earning their degrees. Unfortunately, there are some countries that may reject these students and other scholars on the basis that they might be spying. Again, so what? The few fearful countries that do this are probably going to do it anyway, and it’s their loss. Besides, at a time when the United States is daily criticized for its actions in the region, sending young ambassadors is a brilliant way of building trust and mending ties, not to mention a transformative experience for those scholars who are sent abroad. Finally, and most importantly, this program incentivizes public service. Our generation’s apathetic attitude towards civic engagement has been the focus of numerous university courses, case studies and public campaigns. This aversion usually increases when undergraduates learn of the lucrative offers that await them in the private sector. By upping the ante and providing financial aid, the government can compete against the private sector and draw the nation’s finest into government service. Kudos to Senator Graham and to Uncle Sam for trying to repair the intelligence community with an intelligent proposal!
