Nelson suffers bone bruise Faculty granted more by

compensation options

THE CHRONICLE

It was the last thing that any Blue Devil fan in jam-packed Cameron Indoor Stadium wanted to see Wednesday night. After driving baseline with 40 seconds remaining in the first half, DeMarcus Nelson was called for a charge—and then he was slow to get up. The sophomore limped to the bench for the final seconds of the half and then walked to the locker room for halftime, but he was visibly grimacing in pain.

Fortunately,

however,

Cameron Crazies who feared that Nelson had re-injured his broken right foot —an injury that forced him to miss nine games—can breathe a sigh of relief. Nelson suffered a bone bruise on his right ankle during the game and is unlikely to play in Saturday’s road game against Clemson. But the injury is not expected to sideline him for a prolonged period of time, although no definitive timetable has been set for his return. Nelson first returned to the lineup against Wake Forest Jan. 8 and played 11 minutes in what head coach Mike Krzyzewski described as an emergency situation. It was clear from the start of Wednesday’s game against MarySEE NELSON ON PAGE

Professors who previously received relief from teaching a course can now choose other means of compensation for their extra administrative efforts, among other things. George McLendon, dean of the faculty ofArts and Sciences, announced Thursday at the Arts and Sciences Council meeting that he accepted all recommendations from the Council to expand the supplementary compensation options for faculty. The new policy, which originally was proposed last year in the Goodwin Report on Faculty Resource Allocation, will allow faculty members to choose their preferred means of supplementary compensation from research funding, an increase in base salary or relief from teaching a course, among other options. McLendon said the move was designed, in part, to increase transparency and pro-

Bostock Library was evacuated twice early Thursday afternoon

after a fifth-floor air handling unit overheated and began emitting smoke. No one was hurt in the incident, and no books or property were damaged, said Ashley Jackson, building manager for

Perkins Library. Phyllis Cooper, police major

for the Duke University Police Department, added that nobody was ever in danger of being hurt. Library workers said they smelled smoke in the basement of the building, which just opened in October 2005. When the alarm went off the first time, Jackson said police and fire officials believed the

smoke was coming from an electrical short in the elevator mechanical room. After finding no fire, people were allowed to return into the building, Jackson said. Cooper said about 20 minutes later the smoke detector alarms were tripped for a second time. After inspecting the building again, the source of the smoke was determined to be a belt in a fifth-floor air handling unit. Smoke spread through the building in the airshafts and concentrated in the elevator electrical room in the basement. Jackson said the belts in the units are not standard across campus and that this kind of event is rare. SEE BOSTOCK ON PAGE 10

which will cut governmentbacked student-loan programs by $12.7 billion. At the same time, however, new student grant programs will be created. Though approximately 40 percent of Duke undergraduates receive need-based financial aid and are likely to be affected by the loan reduction, University officials do not anticipate any major reallocation of aid funds. “Students will pay a slightly higher level of interest [to lenders], but I don’t see that as putting additional pressure on the University,” Director of Financial Aid Jim Belvin said. “I’m

not sounding an alarm.” The federal loan cut makes

up a third of the total spendingreduction plan, the goal of which is to decrease national deficits by $4O billion. Though $2l billion was initially cut from the loan programs, $8 billion was then designated to be reinvested in financial aid. The remaining money from the cut will be used to directly lower taxes and finance the federal deficit. “We would prefer to see as much of the proposed cuts reinvested in other student aid programs,” said Melissa Vetterkind, Duke’s assistant director for federal relations. “In the end, students are going to end up paying more for their student loans over the entire length of the loan.” Additionally, $3.75 billion will be used to support certain SEE BILL ON PAGE 6

Alito hearings end, Senate to vote by

Jesse Holland

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Samuel Alito coasted toward probable confirmation as the 110th Supreme Court justice Thursday, with the only question after 18 hours of grueling Senate interrogation being how many Democrats would support him. Alito said nothing to undermine his solid support by the Senate’s majority Republicans during three days of aggressive questioning by Democrats who challenged his credibility, judicial philosophy and in-

dependence.

“I am my own person, with whatever

abilities I have and whatever limitations I have,” Alito declared as he wrapped up his final public appearance before senators begin voting on his nomination to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Democrats contend the former lawyer who served in former President Ronald Reagan’s administration is likely to swing the court to the right in replacing the centrist O’Connor, who has provided decisive votes on such important issues as abortion, capital punishment and affirmative action. Judiciary Committee senators will meet next Tuesday to begin debating the 55-

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid “is urging all Democrats to refrain from committing to a vote either for or against confirmation prior to the caucus next Wednesday,” spokesperson Jim Manley said. Specter confirmed late Thursday that

Danish Ambassador to the United States Friis Petersen discussed U.S. foreign policy at the law school Thursday.

Friis Petersen, the Danish Ambassador the United States, gave a European perspective on U.S. foreign policy, rising anti-American sentiments in the world and reforming the United Nations in a speech at the School ofLaw Thursday. In his lecture, “The Terrorist Threat and the War in Iraq: The View from Europe,” Petersen discussed the commonalities between Danish and American foreign policy and then pointed out a few areas in which the two countries differ. “Today in foreign policy-making, we have much more in common than ever before,” Petersen said of his home country and the United States. “We have some identical objectives.” One of the goals shared between the two countries, Petersen said, is an “activist” attitude toward foreign policy. He stressed that Denmark was one of a handful of European nations that is an American ally in—and has provided

Zach Stanfill, the Dillard University freshman who took up temporary residence at Duke after Hurricane Katrina devastated his New Orleans campus in late August, will stay one more semester, members of the administration confirmed Thursday night. The decision is a notable exception to a policy confirmed by administrators Dec. 8, which stated that displaced freshmen would not be allowed to stay for the spring semester. “I think it’s important that we make this very transparent, because we believe that we do have the right policy,” said Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences and vice provost for undergraduate education. “We see ourselves as supporting his return to Dillard.” Administrators said they still stand by their original decision, which was supposed to encourage displaced students to return to their home schools, said Provost Peter Lange.

“I really have to stress that [Stanfill’s] personal circumwere different and substantially more difficult than the other students’,” Lange added. Although other students made similar requests in the final weeks of the fall semester, Thompson said Stanfill’s case was particularly pressing. “Zach and his brother just shared with me what the family situation was —that their home was completely inundated with water,” Thompson said. “There was nobody else in his situation.” Thompson said he was particularly taken by the pictures Stanfill took of his Ninth Ward house, which was filled with more than 11 feet of water after Katrina struck in late August.

When asked what the Danish government’s views on the future course of events in Iraq were, Petersen diplomatically replied that his government agreed fully with what the Bush administration has been doing. He said the international community has to be patient and allow the newly formed Iraqi government to make its own mistakes. He also praised American foreign policy-makers for showing restraint in pursuing diplomatic channels rather than military ones when dealing with the Baltic states after the Cold War ended. In addition, Petersen said he was impressed with American efforts in trying to get Iran to comply with International Atomic Energy Agency standards. “I think this is a more refined country than its critics would admit,” Petersen said. “America uses weaponry, soldiers, but it

Ex-cabbie buys Duke NYC mansion for S4OM by

Jared Mueller

THE CHRONICLE

The Duke family has sold its palatial eight-story mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York City for $4O million to Tamir Sapir, a Georgian refugee turned real estate mogul whose first job in the city was driving a taxi. The historic sale represents the highest price ever paid for a townhouse in New York City. The 20,000-square-foot property which sits across the street from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan’s tony Upper East Side —was originally listed for $5O million when it went on the market last May, but the price was lowered when prospective buyers balked at the cost. Musician Lenny Kravitz was among a series of millionaires who toured the home, built in 1901, before the billionaire oil trader and commercial real estate titan Sapir signed the purchase contract Monday. The Duke family has not lived in the mansion at 1009 Fifth Ave. for years, —

Hie Duke mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York's Upper East Side was originally priced at $5O million.

choosing instead to subdivide it into a series of luxury apartments. A 1995 story in The New York Times reported that one quadruplex in the building rented for $50,000 per month. “None of the family was in or around New York anymore, and therewas no reason to hold on to it,” Shirley Mueller, a broker at Brown Harris Stevens and one of the property’s three listing agents, said of the sale. Mueller confirmed reports that Sapir plans to convert the bottom five floors of the Duke mansion into a showcase for his collection of European ivory. Another Brown Harris Stevens broker, Paula Del Nunzio, told The New York Times that the Duke family was happy the mansion would be used this way. “They were very pleased with the idea that it would be devoted to an artistic purpose,” Del Nunzio said. “They thought that was quite a wonderful use for it.” Sapir mortgaged his cab in 1979 to start an electronics store. The shop led him to cultivate relationships with a client base that included Soviet diplomats. In the 1980s, Sapir used these friendships to arrange the trade of electronics for oil contracts in the Soviet Union, Forbes.com reported. He then sold the contracts for millions of dollars to European corporations, parlaying these earnings into corporate real estate. Since then Sapir has amassed an estimated 7 million square feet ofoffice space in Manhattan. In addition to those like Sapir who were interested in the mansion’s mixeduse possibilities, Mueller said prospective buyers ranged from families who considered using the property as a private home to foundations looking for office space. “We did a tremendous amount of marketing to high-end customers all over the world,” Mueller added. “We tried to make anyone who we think can afford [the mansion] aware of it. It’s a concerted marketing effort to reach the right group of people who could handle it financially.”

Div School dean appointed to 3rd term L. Gregory Jones has been appointed to a third five-year terms as dean of the Divinity School, Provost Peter Lange announced Thursday. Jones’ reappointment is pending formal approval by the Board of Trustees at its February meeting. Since taking the position of dean in 1997, Jones has overseen the development of Divinity School’s faculty, facilities and various programs. He helped start the Duke Institute on Care at the End of Life in 2000 and played a major role in the planning of the 53,000 squarefoot addition to and renovation of the school Jones also led the school through a $ 102-million fundraising effort that was a component of the Campaign for Duke. In his third term, Jones will continue to promote issues and programs related to end-of-life care, Christian ministry, pastoral leadership and peacemaking. “We have an outstanding community of faculty, staff and students, and we have strong momentum for our mission—at the intersection of the church, the academy and the world,” Jones said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing to strengthen the quality of Christian ministry through our education and formation, our programmatic initiatives and our intellectual leadership in theological education.” A respected scholar and church leader, Jones serves on the board of trustees of the Center of Theological Inquiry and is the president of the Association of United Methodist Theological Schools. He is also a member of the University Senate of the United Methodist Church.

How can I keep a

Visiting a dentist regularly, you’ll keep visits short and you’ll drastically reduce the likelihood of developing a problem. Gum disease is responsible for 60 percent of tooth loss in the country. And gum disease can get underway long before you would be aware ofit. The same is true for decay. Only your dentist will be able to see the beginning of a cavity. Repairing a small decayed area is much easier and cheaper to accomplish than repairing a large cavity, which may require elaborate steps like a root canal and crown. It is recommended that you visit your dentist twice a year. Even if there’s no dental problem, it’s good to have your teeth cleaned at least twice a year. Here are some fundamental tips to keep in mind- Stay away from sugar. The average American consumes almost 150 pounds of sugar a year. Plaque, the clear, sticky substance that accumulates on your teeth every day and can cause cavities and gum disease, loves sugar. So, be to remove plaque every day. Brush your teeth after every meal. The longer food residue stays in your mouth, the more contact it has with teeth. Stop smoking. Smoking is one of the leadingrisk factors in the development of gum disease. Smokeless tobacco is bad, too. Its use significantly increases the risk of developing oral cancer. Brush with an American Dental Associationapproved fluoride toothpaste. And floss every day. Remember to rinse after flossing to wash away dislodged food particles. Follow these guidelines and you should keep a healthy smile all

COUNCIL from page 1 takes the most central thing we do at the University and marginalizes it,” McLendon said. “I expect, in fact, that a number of faculty, given other modes ofcompensation, will choose them instead of giving up a course they really enjoy teaching.” The plan will begin in the next budget cycle, and faculty can start requesting changes for compensation immediately. McLendon added that one reason the plan was not done sooner was because it had budgetary implications. He said the amount of compensation will not be standard across all departments, but rather it will match the effort required by the job. McLendon noted that the role of the director of undergraduate studies for the economics department has a much larger role than the director of undergraduate studies for the literature department. “It’s a little tricky to do this and still maintain absolute equity,” McLendon said. “What it does say is we are going to have alternative menus of compensation, and we will provide them in discussions with [departmental] chairs.” The new policy will not cover professors with interdisciplinary roles. Those cases will still be handled through the dean’s office, McLendon said. Victor Strandberg, a professor in the Department of English, said he was pleased with the increased options. “Given the choice, I would rather have the professional expense account to help out with things having to do with my job,” Strandberg said, noting that he might buy a laptop with the extra funds. “This might be a historic event,” said Lee Baker, chair of the Council and associate professor of cultural anthropology.

Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences and vice provost for undergraduate education, said 18 percent of profes- ■ sors in the Trinity School of Arts and Sciences have allowed their course evaluations to be -posted online. The discussion came about after Victor Strandberg, professor in the Department of English, asked the Arts and Sciences Council at its meeting Thursday why a discussion of the topic was not on the meeting's agenda. "We spent the whole period... on the opt in opt out problem," Strandberg said of the group's last meeting. "As far as I know, we

The A&S Council heard reports on faculty compensation options and course evaluations Thursday. “Within a year, a dean has responded to one of our requests.” The Council first gave the five recommendations to McLendon Feb. 10, 2005. “Many of us really respect and admire your ability to be responsive to faculty needs,” Baker added

In other business: The Council was given the responsibili-

ty to allocate funds to faculty from the Dean’s office for conferences, workshops or meetings at Duke, McLendon said the reasons for shifting the responsibility were to increase transparency and to draw on the expertise of the Council to determine which conferences are most worthy of funding. The Committee on Faculty Research was charged to take up the duty.

After raising his hand, Strandberg began reading the previous week's minutes, which stated that George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences, said more information should be available before Christmas. "I was surprised," Strandberg said. "I just wanted to remind the leadership that this item has not disappeared from the agenda." Ihompson then updated the Council on recent developments, including that he was still waiting for some departments to respond to a second memo sent before break. The memo explained that directors of undergraduate studies will have the authority to tell the office of assessment that these specific faculty want to opt in or opt out. The previous memo asking directors to poll their faculty about whether they would opt in was unclear,Thompson said, as some faculty thought the first e-mail was a poll and some thought it was a binding contract. He added that he expects the percentage of professors who allow their evaluations to be posted online to increase substantially overthe next 10 days.

“There’s an old saying... In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell’s committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture.” -Radio Interview, October 8,20024

“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.” ~Strength To Love, 1963 2

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., gave his life to promote racial equality in the United States. The national holiday in his honor celebrates his revolutionary accomplishments and the racial unity that he strove to achieve for all Americans. Harry Belafonte, a divisive public figure and extreme left-wing activist, has failed to uphold King’s legacy of racial equality and healing.

Belafonte’s public statements calling President Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world” and comparing distinguished African-Americans' such as Colin Rowell to house slaves have undermined the dialogue of respect embraced by King.

Although in the

1950 s

acknowledge Belafonte’s contribution to music, humanitarian causes, and the Civil Rights Movement and 19605, his recent comments have revealed a level of bigotry that makes him a poor choice for

Duke University’s King Day Commemoration.

While the Duke Conservative Union wholeheartedly supports free speech, the University’s selection of Belafonte reveals shortsightedness and possible politically motivated bias. Last year’s featured MLK Day speaker, Angela Davis, was also a left-wing radical who twice ran for Vice President as the Communist Party candidate. We call for future speakers to uphold more clearly the ideals of human dignity, racial unity, and peaceful dissent that King gave his life to advance. We call for someone who unites people of all races to strive for the greater good of all, rather than zealots who divide audiences and use their platform to fuel personal vendettas.

The Durham Fire Department responded to the call with at least three fire trucks and about a dozen officers. Fire Department official T. W. Reams said the division was responding to a call for a construction fire. “Normally Duke police come and check the building,” Jackson said, noting that a large majority of fire alarms turn out to be false alarms. “Somehow the alarm, was turned off, and [the belt] didn’t get checked.” Cooper said officers first look on the fire panel to locate the area that is in trouble. Officials then check the area in question for the source of what triggered the fire alarm. “There’s a lot of times when the fire alarms will go off and they look and they can’t find anything,” Cooper said. “If there isn’t any smoke or fire or anything obvious to show the officers what’s going on, the fire department will clear.” The air handling units bring in fresh air and discharge stale air. Jackson said Bostock has four units and was designed to operate with one or two functioning units. “The air doesn’t circulate as quickly, but it does circulate and move,” he said, adding that the broken -unit should be fixed Friday. Cindy Shurling, a second-year graduate student in the Nicholas School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, was one of about 75 people waiting outside for the building to reopen. “I am a little bored,” she said. “I imagine some people were working on things that were time-sensitive.” Lenore Ramm, an applications specialist for the Center for Instructional Technology, said she could smell the smoke in the stairwell. Ramm, who was in a wheelchair, said she had to wait on the second floor for help before evacuating the building. She was eventually evacuated with help from her CIT co-workers through a connection to Perkins Library. “I wasn’t really scared because Bostock is full of sprinklers,” she said. “According to Fire Safety, nobody has ever died in a building with sprinklers. As long as I could see a sprinkler, I was probably in good shape.” “At least it’s nice out,” she added. “Better being evacuated when it’s 70 degrees outside.”

Yaron Shemer University ofTexas Third World and critical race feminists have conceptualized “intersectionality” as the discursive convergence of gender, ethnicity/race, and class in the public and political spheres. These feminists have often celebrated the potential of intersectionality to identify the unique positionality of women of color and to advance their causes. A discussion of contemporary Israeli cinema will attend to the unique modalities of intersectionality in Mizrahi films. The critical question it posits is: Does the cinematic intersectionality of ethnicity with gender and class empower the subaltern Mizrahi subject or, alternatively, does it effect the dissolution of the ethnic discourse?

“It seemed to be a very reasonable request, one that we could do,” Thompson said. “I’m really pleased we could do that for him.” When the hurricane pushed through the Ninth Ward, Stanfill’s family relocated to Baton Rouge. Returning to Dillard this semester would put a heavy toll on Stanfill’s family, which would either have to pay for the Baton Rouge-New Orleans commute or for the increasingly expensive on-campus housing at Dillard. Thompson described both options as “infeasible” in Stanfill’s case, and other members of the administration agreed. “Prices were sky-rocketing. I didn’t have a ride back and forth from Baton Rouge,” Stanfill said. “I am very, very grateful. It was a big burden off my parents’ shoulders. I’m just really appreciative to be here.” Stanfill said the additional semester will allow him and his family to return to some semblance of normalcy. He currently plans to return to Dillard next fall. “Other students were displaced from their schools, but I was displaced from my life,” Stanfill said. “Everything happens for a reason... I thank God every day for it.”

The Interior Ministry put the death toll 345, and the Health Ministry said 289 people were injured. State-run AlEkhbariyah television said most of the victims were from South Asia. After the 2004 stampede, Saudi officials widened ramps leading to a platform the width of an eight-lane highway where the three pillars are located and created more emergency exits to accommodate the crowds. Each of the small, round pillars also were replaced with 85-foot-long walls to allow more people to stone them at once without jostling each other. The walls were extended through the bottom of the platform so more pilgrims can carry out the stoning from below. Thursday’s stampede occurred below the platform, near one of the four big ramps. In theory, the crowds are supposed to enter the platform using two of the ramps and exit down the other two, but pilgrims often ignore the rules. Thousands of pilgrims were rushing to complete the last of the three days of the stoning ritual before sunset when some of them began to trip over dropped baggage, said Maj. Gen. Mansour al-Turki, spokesperson for the Interior Ministry.

The Blue Devils have already played a conference-high four ACC games and this month will play 10 games, which also tops the league. After winning by an average of nearly 43 points in the team’s first 14 games, Duke played its closest game of the season against Georgia Tech, escaping with an eight-point win.

THE CHRONICLE

Less than two weeks into 2006, Duke has already received its first two verbal commitments for the recruiting class of 2007. Nolan Smith, a junior at Oak Hill Academy and Taylor King, a junior at Mater Dei High School, each informed head coach Mike Krzyzewski yesterday that he will enroll at Duke in the fall of 2007. Smith, a five-star recruit, is listed as the fifth-best point guard in his class and the 16th-best junior in the country by scout.com. He had narrowed his choices to Duke, Louisville and Georgetownand Wednesday night made it clear that Duke was the favorite. Thursday morning, he decided to commit to the Blue Devils. “He called Coach Pitino at 3 o’clock and informed him that he’s going to Duke,” Oak Hill coach Steve Smith toldscout.com. “[Pitino] wished him well. [Nolan] talked to Duke this morning. He’s committed.” Smith, who is from Mitchelville, Md., is listed at 6-foot3, but his shoe size is currendy 17, so a growth spurt may be possible in his future. He has mentioned in the past that his father, former NBA player Derek Smith, shot up six inches during college.

“Nolan Smith is a true combo guard,” said Dave Telep, scout.com’s national recruiting director. “Defensively, he is way ahead of the curve.” Thus far this season, Smith is averaging 17 points and 7.1 assists per game, while shooting 62 percent from the field and 81 percent from the free throw line. “He is going to fit in easily at Duke,” Telep said. “He is versatile, intelligent and defensive-minded. When you recruit a kid like Smith, the plan is to play him.” King, a 6-foot-8 forward, has played mainly on the perimeter, taking advantage of his smooth left-handed jump shot. In his junior campaign, the four-star recruit has scored 26 points and pulled down 14 rebounds per game. “It’s going to be a great fit,” King told scout.com. “It was just the way I felt. I have developed a real good relationship with Coach K and that’s where I want to go.” Telep was not certain about King’s role with the Blue Devils, but he does remind him of a certain Duke legend. “When Shane Battier used to trail on the break and hit the open three-pointer to break your back, this is that guy, he shoots that exact shot,” Telep said. “He doesn’t play the exact same style as Battier, but the strength ofhis game is to shoot the ball.”

Roof to entertain several recruits around campus by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Last summer, Marcus Lind was an unknown commodity, a Swedish exchange student playing American high school football for the first time. Several months later, however, Lind has become one of the nation’s most hotly recruited offensive line prospects. Once the fall season began, the 6-foot-4, 285-pound

Lind received scholarship offers from the likes of Miami, Auburn, N.C. State and South Carolina. And this weekend, Lind highlights a group of high-priority recruits making official visits to Duke. “He’s a very, very strong young man, he’s a very intelligent man, and he’s very hard-working,” said George Smith, Lind’s coach at St. Thomas Aquinas high school in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “I think he’s going to be a very good college football player.” Although Lind has minimal experience playing high school football and is unranked by the major recruiting services, he distinguished himself quickly as a top-notch prospect on an offensive line that featured two All-Americans and one other four-star prospect, according to scout.com. “This kid’s massive,” said Scott Kennedy, recruiting analyst for scout.com. “He’s just raw; he’s from out of the country, hasn’t been playing for a whole lot.” That didn’t stop him from drawing heavy recruiting interest from the nation’s top programs, however. Smith said Lind is “very close” to Sam Young, Dan Wenger, and Marcus Gilbert, the other three superstars on the St. Thomas Aquinas high school offensive line. “He has experience playing the game, rudimentary obviously, but he adapted very well here. He just got better and better,” Smith said. “The kid is a very, very fast learner. He’s done a hell of a job mastering the English language. He’s mastered the SAT and the ACT.” In addition to Lind, the Blue Devils will look to bolster their linebacking corps when Nick Macaluso visits this weekend. A standout player on Middletown South, one of the nation’s best high school teams, the 6-foot-3, 220pound Macaluso would provide Duke with a quality edge rusher from the outside linebacker position. “Great instincts, great tackier, physical, and great leader,” said Macaluso’s coach Steve Antonucci of his best attributes. “[Duke’s coaches] like his ability to run from side to side.”

Bush departs USC for NFL glory Pittsburgh by

erases

Ken Peters

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Reggie Bush is skipping his senior season at Southern California to enter the NFL draft. The Heisman Trophy winner made the expected announcement Thursday, a day after running mate LenDale White made his decision to leave early and turn pro. Bush is expected to be one of the first players taken in the draft, with many projecting him to go to the Houston Texans with the No. 1 pick. The electrifying running back had 1,740 yards rushing and 2,890 all-purpose yards this season for the Trojans, who fell short of an unprecedented third national title in a row when they lost 41-38 to Texas in the Rose Bowl last week. “It’s a happy day, I don’t think it’s a sad time,” Bush said at a campus news conference. “It was tough.... You want to please everybody. You want to return for your senior season.” Trojans coach Pete Carroll said Bush made the right decision, “He’s such a special player, a once-in-alifetime talent,” Carroll said in a statement. “He’s a game-changer, with his speed, instincts, vision and competitiveness. He’s just so much fun to watch. “He’ll take that talent to the NFL and wow them there as a runner, receiver and as a returner. Now the Reggie Bush Show goes to Sundays, and I can’t wait to watch him.” Carroll couldn’t be at the news conference because he was in Northern California to attend the funeral of the father of USC linebacker Rey Maualuga. Talatonu Maualuga died after a long illness. Wherever Bush winds up in the draft, he’ll become a rich man. Asked about the probability of becoming a multimillionaire, Bush laughed and said, “It hasn’t sunk in yet. I don’t think it will until I get that first check.” Bush, who turns 21 in March, has flashed such blinding speed, great moves and an uncanny ability to change direction that he’s been compared to such greats as

As expected, Reggie Bush is leaving USC for the NFL Draft, in which he likely will be a top pick. Gale Sayers, Barry Sanders, Tony Dorsett and Marshall Faulk. Bush, a 6-foot, 200-pounder from Spring Valley, Calif., averaged an amazing 8.7 yards per carry. He also caught 37 passes for 478 yards and led the nation in allpurpose yards with 222.3 per game. How will all that translate to the NFL? “There are all those questions: Are you

PITTSBURGH DePaul learned on its first trip to Pittsburgh for a Big East game that the Steelers aren’t the only team in town capable of playing a physical game in January. Aaron Gray scored 20 points and Carl Krauser had 19 DEPAUL 65 f or No. 12 PittsPITT -73 burgh, which shook off a 13point deficit to remain one of three unbeatens in Division I with a 73-65 victory Thursday night. “I expected this,” said Krauser, a senior guard who announced last spring he was turning pro but changed his mind. “This is what I came back for. I told these guys that we wanted to be unbeaten now, and then go one game at a time in the Big East.” Pitt, unranked as late as two weeks ago, is 13-0 for only the fourth time in its 100-year basketball history to join No. 1 Duke (15-0) and No. 2 Florida (15-0) as the only major unbeatens. First-year DePaul coach Jerry Wainright praised Krauser profusely when his Richmond team played in Pittsburgh several years ago, so Krauser’s strong play—he had six assists and five rebounds—didn’t surprise him. What did catch Wainwright unprepared was how rough-and-tumble Pitt was for a team that starts only one senior, and ended the game with only one player having more than two fouls. “Maybe I should give Coach Cowher and the Steelers a call and see if we can play them a scrimmage while we’re here,” Wainwright said, in a thinly veiled criticism of the officiating. “I wonder if there would be as much hitting in that game.”

M. BBALL from page 13 wins but had cooled off somewhat before conference play began. The conference’s makeup this year has created parody. With most teams three games into their ACC schedule, only three are winless in conference play, and six teams are within one game of a .500 record in conference. And with so little separating the ACC’s best and worst, homecourt advantage has taken on greater importance. Only four road teams have won conference games. Clemson, historically an ACC bottom-feeder, has already won two games at home in Littlejohn Coliseum, including an overtime win over Wake Forest Jan. 8. In that game, the Demon Deacons came back from 11 points down to go up by five with less than a minute to play in regulation. The Tigers forced a turnover, however, and Cliff Hammonds’ threepointer with 30 seconds to play forced overtime. In the extra frame, Clemson took a 74-71 lead on a layup by Vernon Hamilton with less than 50 seconds to play and hung on for the 74-73 win. The Tigers also beat Florida State at home Jan. 4. Just three days after the Wake Forest upset and the subsequent court-rushing celebration, the Tigers will take a shot at another. But this time, the foe is topranked and undefeated Duke. “We’ve got a quick turnaround now,” Krzyzewski said. “[Clemson head coach] Oliver Purnell’s team is always good, especially there.... We’ll have our hands full.” The Tigers’ strength is their opportunistic defense; they have held opponents to 63 points per game this season, despite allowing them to make nearly 42 percent of their shots, the ACC’s third worst mark. relThey make up for their opponents’ relatively high atively high shooting percentage by forcing

land, however, that Nelson had been reincorporated into the regular rotation when he and Lee Melchionni were the first Duke substitutes off the bench. Iri his 10 minutes on the court, Nelson scored six points and recorded four steals. He showed no signs of his previous injury and even attempted a high-flying dunk, but he missed it. “DeMarcus had a heck of a first half for us,” Krzyzewski said after the game. Nelson averaged 6.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and nearly a steal per game as a freshman and was expected to be Duke’s third-scoring option this season behind seniors JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams. Krzyzewski has also called Nelson the team’s best athlete and one of the Blue Devils best defenders.

and Rutgers in addition to Duke. Along with Georgia prospect Vandaral Shackleford and Duke commitment Quenton Davie, he is believed to be among Duke’s top uncommitted linebacker prospects for the class of 2006. In addition, head coach Ted Roof will host two-star offensive line prospect John Lubischer. Despite receiving only a twostar rating, Lubischer has an impressive list of scholarship offers that includes Clemson and N.C. State. Although projected to play on the offensive line in college, Lubischer is athletic enough to play tight end on the high school level. “He’s really a standout blocker,” Kennedy said. “Bring in a guy like that, put forty or fifty pounds on him and you’ve got yourself a lineman in three to four years.” Lubischer is also strongly considering the Wolfpack and Colorado State, according to scout.com. In addition, the Boca Raton, Fla. prospect plays on the same team as Duke commitment Tyler Rice, who will accompany him on his visit this weekend. Lind, Macaluso and Lubischer would add to an already strong Duke recruiting class, a particularly impressive feat considering Duke’s 1-10 record last season. Although the class lacks a superstar prospect such as Vince Oghobaase, its overall talent is better than that of the Class of 2005, Kennedy said. “They’ve done a really good job recruiting the blue-collar players that make up the bulk of your team,” Kennedy said. “I think Ted Roof and [assistant coach] Glenn Spencer have done a great job of upgrading Duke’s talent level. I hope everyone stays pa-

Duke can’t compete on the same level that Northwestern and Stanford do,” Kennedy said. “If Northwestern can compete for the Big Ten championship, there’s no reason Duke can’t compete for the ACC championship.”

W. BBALL

from page 15

Heisman, with Texas quarterback Vince Young far back in second place. Matt Leinart, Bush’s teammate the past three years and the 2004 Heisman winner, was third. Those players figure to go 1-2-3 in the NFL Draft April 29. The Texans, though, already have a young quarterback in David Carr so they could opt for Bush and pass on Young, who is from Houston. Had Bush stayed in school, he would have had a chance to join Ohio State running back Archie Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winners. Griffin won the award in 1974-75. After winning his Heisman, Leinart decided to return to USC for his senior year although he almost surely would have been among the top players picked in last April’s draft. As a quarterback, Leinart was in a far different situation than Bush, since running backs are such a target, with even the best at risk every time they carry the ball. On average, standout running backs have far shorter pro careers than top quarterbacks. Bush came to USC as one of the most highly recruited prep players in the country. He shared the tailback position for three years with White, and the two combined for 99 career touchdowns, breaking the NCAA record of 97 set by Army’s Glenn Davis and Felix “Doc” Blanchard from 1943-46. Bush represented the “Lightning” to White’s “Thunder” at USC. Bush rushed for 3,169 yards and White 3,159, helping the Trojans go 37-2. They had won 34 straight before losing to Texas. “Now 'Thunder’ and 'Lightning’ are gone from USC,” Bush said.

Duke will face Boston College Saturday and Holy Cross Sunday to close out its four-game road swing.

Goestenkors said. “We need some opportunities to execute offensively and defensively in pressure situations.” Boston College, which Goestenkors described as one of the toughest squads she has watched, could pose a similar challenge to the Blue Devils. The teams met in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season, a game that Duke won by only five, 70-65. “They do not beat themselves. You have to go in there and beat them, and it’s not an easy thing to do,” Goestenkors said. “I am sure they will be a rested, angry, desperate home team, and that’s a tough combination. We will be tested, I have no doubt. “Boston College affords us our greatest challenge to date.” All 12 of Duke’s players are averaging more than double-digit minutes this season, but Goestenkors has adjusted her rotation now that the team is entering the bulk of its conference schedule. Guard Emily Waner has not played in the past two games and freshman Carrem Gay has also seen her minutes decrease. At the same time, Goestenkors has shown no tolerance for mistakes. She benched freshman point guard Abby Waner for most of the second half of Duke’s game against Maryland Jan. 8 after she made three consecutive mistakes on defense—something that Goestenkors would not have had the luxury to do with last year’s eight-player roster. “I told the team at the beginning of this stretch that these four grimes, our character, our unity would be tested,” Goestenkors said. “I knew we would probably trim down the rotation a little bit, and so people were going to have to sacrifice and still maintain a positive attitude.”

THE CHRONICLE

FRIDAY. JANUARY 13,2005

For King, make Monday meaningful the speakers lured on campus, the colorful jelly-bean-themed pamphlets—these are the products of students’ shared efforts with other community figures. They are not manifestations of administrative preachiness, bestowed upon us from on high. This is peer-to-peer education; this is an elevated form of conversation; this is accessible learning. And the commitment is minimal. So many students across our campus have opinions, especially regarding hot-button issues like diversity and race. The admissions office slings around the word for a reason: Duke is a diverse place, racially, ethnically, ideologically and otherwise. Yet more often than not, we fail to capitalize on this diversity in a productive manner. We’d prefer to ignore our differences, and not because it’s necessarily easier to be blindly uniform. It’s because, to borrow an overused word from collegiate jargon, we find racial discussion “awkward.” Thus, it is reg-

died Cobain everson when I was one fine morning eight, and The Clash broke up before I was born. Close your eyes and try to imagine a college student 20 years from now. What hero from our generation will he deify by hanging a poster on the wall? Paul Simon once sang, “Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts.” Dylan, Lennon, Gaye, Bowie, Marley, Springsteen, Cobain: Icons cannot help emerging—until now. As a generation, we have failed to raise an idol, to create an art and even to dream. As any print media will tell you, Bono is the biggest rock star in the world. Nothing against Bono and his humanitarian efforts, but his stardom is pathetic. U2’s greatest album was released more than 20 years ago—the band’s recent works are popular because they are so innocuous that they could not possibly offend anyone. Unfortunately, they can’t inspire anyone either. For all of his political activism, Bono does not believe in the power of his music to energize our generation. Instead he searches within established avenues to create change. It is not all his fault—Bono once sang to his generation, and perhaps still does, but that generation is reaching its 40s and becoming a part of “The Establishment.” No, it’s not Bono’s fault. It is our generation that cannot raise a hero. Rock and roll is dying. The Strokes, once heralded as the saviors of rock, just released an album. Its theme is that no one, especially these failed messiahs, have anything to say. No one has risen in their place. Instead, rock has fractured into so many delicate sub-genres that no one can climb to prominence. Hip hop has risen in rock and roll’s place, but it has failed miserably in recent years. Instead of energizing a generation, instead of demanding satisfaction, artists like 50 Cent and Jay-Z perpetuate the sta-

tus quo, declaring themselves fat, rich and happy and telling a generation that happiness is bitches, hos and 9mms. Eminem could have been our Elvis, taking an essentially African-American art form and presenting it to the entire world, but Eminem forgot to be happy; he made his Blood on the Tracks divorce album before he “stayed up for days writing” his “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands”. Eminem never had the vision to speak for a generation; he never wanted stardom. All he ever wanted was respect. Where Eminem failed due to his own insecurity, Kanye West, hip hop’s recent golden boy, fails due to hubris. On his debut, College Dropout, Kanye begins by ridiculing superficiality (“Workout Plan”) and those who adhere to societal pressures (“All Falls Down.”) Sadly, Kanye also discards education and hard work (“Spaceship.”) Yet Kanye’s worst transgression comes on “Jesus Walks,” a song in which he self-consciously uses religion for its shock effect (“You can sing about anything except for Jesus”). Kanye does not believe in anything except his own talent. For him to become a hero—to grab a generation—he must find some faith in the only thing music has ever been about: love, desire and loss. His new album, Late Registration, may sound like a change of heart, but Kanye remains unrepentant If his best rallying cry remains “We want prenup,” he will fail. Meanwhile, the biggest stars of our generation have nothing to say. They are mosdy oblivious young females popular because of their physique and their disturbing mixture of seduction, corruption and naivete singing the words written and handed to them by a past generation. They are symbolic of a generation so obsessed with stardom and superficiality that they have forgotten how to think. They have no genius and no imagination. If someone has to be “bigger than Jesus,” I’d take John Lennon over Lindsay Lohan every time. Without men like Lennon, without heroes, our society has no one to dream. On the radio recendy I heard my personal favorite Christmas carol, Lennon’s “So This Is Christmas (War is Over.)” It was a cover by a silky-voiced woman with a professionally executed melodic sensibility. Yet in the background there was no echoing chorus singing “war is over.” Clearly, the war is not over. And, sadly, no one even has the guts to record their dream ofpeace and to dare to look toward the future.

you look at the political affiliations of Duke students on facebook.com, you’ll notice a lot of moderates and apathetics, and it’s really not surprising. It seems that some students who hold political views can’t discuss them

never heard of and the other half probably couldn’t have cared less about) made his OIIVGr SfIGVOIISG allegedly racist comyou tell me ments, campus walls were literally covered with signs, fiercely proclaiming that “We [no mention of who “we” was, by the way] condemn the racist statements,” and “We will not stand for” whatever it was, and so on and so forth. In fact, one can still see these signs hanging around campus. The problem is that it’s not discussion or even persuasiveness—it’s shouting. Bennett’s statement was an example ofsomething obviously heinous, and his opinion really doesn’t matter to me in the first place. But if somebody had sat back and just looked at the claim, rather than charging onto the warpath (on both sides, mind you), the situation would have been a lot better. I’m picking on the Bennett mess here, but I could just as easily go for Students for Academic Freedom, the sudden resurgence of the feminism debate, the rainbow flag nonsense—and that’s just going back to August! I simply cannot and do not believe that students at an institution such as Duke are incapable of real discussion. The problem is that the loud voices shout down the calm ones until both sides seem so radical that the mainstream students just say “forget it.” Throughout this semester, I’m going to try to look at problems, at current events, at politics and at our school from an almost forgotten angle: objective common sense. I don’t intend to obfuscate my own views—l’m an unapologetic classical conservative. But I don’t think that will bother anyone since an average mature person is able to hear an opinion without gagging, even if they disagree with it. Our government now more than ever has thrown statesmanship and protocol to the wind. Just take a look at the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito. Senators Ted Kennedy and Arlen Specter, both former presidential candidates, interrupted proceedings for a heated argument Wednesday with voices raised over whether one senator’s staffers had received a letter from the other’s. Our media has become so obnoxious that a comedian like Jon Stewart can go on a show like Crossfire and embarrass the presenters with his obviously superior understanding of the proper role of the press. It’s a little disturbing but not at all surprising that Crossfire was canceled shortly after that appearance, while viewers are turning in droves to The Daily Show as their main source of news. It almost seems as though we have fallen into an Orwellian nightmare where peace is defined as constant ideological war. Those who ought to be our role models are failing us, but I think Duke can do better, and I think most students have a desire to as well. Near the end of last semester I attended a speed debate sponsored by several campus political groups. Some of the questions, which I helped to draft, were slanted heavily to one side of the debate or the other, and we rather expected a bit of controversy and excitement. What we found, however, was that even those of us interested enough in politics to skip opening night ofbasketball season were genuinely interested in thoughts and positions other than our own. Instead of an all-out, knockdown brawl, we got something more rewarding: an exchange ofideas in a reasonable, thoughtful discourse. The problem is that we shouldn’t have to dig to find that civility. Intelligent discussion, not loudmouthed radicalism, should be our standard—indeed, we should accept nothing less. I don’t know if it’s possible to shout “reasonability,” but I’m willing to give it a try rather than let others shout “crazy” for me. All we have to do is stand back, take a deep breath, and look at the issues themselves. If we can’t do that, I won’t just endorse our acebook apathetics—l’ll join them. .

letterstotheeditor “Mainstream” misread There is an odd disconnect in the discussion of Judge Samuel Alito in general, and his views about abortion rights in particular. I have seen it many places, but most recently in Aria Branch’s January 12 column, “An Assessment of Alito.” Specifically, she said: “The bottom line is that the majority ofAmericans embrace the fact that it is the decision of a woman to choose whether or not she wants to have an abortion. Judge Alito’s views are out of line with mainstream America.” Roe v. Wade was a decision that blocked majoritarian restrictions on access to abortions, passed either through the U.S. Congress or the state legislatures. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, all that would happen is that democracy would break put. That is, the state legislatures would pass, or not pass abortion restrictions, depending on theviews of majorities of citizens. If Ms. Branch is right, and most Americans favor abortion rights, overturning Roe v. Wade would have no consequence whatever. The only circumstance where anyone could worry about Judge Alito, on abortion rights grounds, is if a majority opposes abortion rights. In her article, she says that if Alito is confirmed, “the government could have the power to take away what many would consider the most intimate decision some women make in their lives.” Well, no. The “government” can’t take it away. That would be your fellow citizens, passing repressive laws by majority rule. We have met the government, and it is us. On that, three observations: (1) It is not clear a majority of Americans favor abortion rights. It depends how you ask the question. (2) Why is it that so many people who believe they favor democracy also favor Roe v. Wade, which prevents majorities from working their will? (3) On the merits, I agree entirely with Ms. Branch: privacy rights, along with the fundamental rights spelled out in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, are all important. But it is precisely because they thwart the rule of the mob

that those rights are important. Unrestricted democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for lunch. We can’t rely on democracy to protect privacy rights, almost by definition. The problem with Alito is not that a majority ofAmericans disagree with him. The problem is that they might. Michael Munger Prof, ofPolitical Science

Women deserve better Aria Branch’s piece entitled, “An assessment of Alito” was anything but. She says very little of the Judge at all, except that if he is confirmed, “the future for women in this country could be very bleak.” This commentary was really about abortion, and why women so desperately need this “freedom.” The unwritten suspicion of the author is that if Alito has his way our nation will return to the dark ages ofback alley doctors and unsafe abortions. The problem, of course, is that no evidence whatsoever is given for this. Her sources? TV, The New York Times, and the National Organization for Women —all authorities with no agenda whatsoever, of course. Ms. Branch quotes a NOW website claiming Alito is a “judicial extremist,” while every witness called on behalf of Alito has testified to the exact opposite. The American Bar Association, in fact, gave Judge Alito their highest rating. So while this piece contains nothing of substance about its purported subject, Alito, it does contain some startling comments about feminism and the abortion debate: “Equal pay, equal opportunity, equal rights for education for both sexes and reproductive freedom and choice” are what the feminist movement is “all about.” It is with great concern that I observe that feminists like Ms. Branch, many of whom represent the best educated and most conscientious ofAmerican women can come up with no better agenda to promote than the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Don’t women deserve better? Andrew Mclntyre Divinity ‘OB

The farewell tour

There

is a sacred ritual to which all Duke students are privy. No, it isn’t freshman orientation with Party Boy Chad, getting lost off East Campus, paying $40,000 to live in a tent pitched on mud, completing your graduation requirements or even completing your —-

“graduation

require-

ments.” The real sacred ritual is what you do to celebrate the last first day bOStOVI COtG ofyour college career. B the naked truth Unofficially known in some circles as “The Farewell Tour,” the beginning of the second semester of senioryear is full of preparations that set the stage for the last four months of college life as we know it. Like any truly classic Farewell Tour, 2006 already promises to be big. As one senior pledged in December: “Next semester shall be a Renaissance. Not of art or music, but of drinking. And it shall be glorious. I pledge to never be sober more than 10 percent of the nights next semester, and I hope that all ofyou will join me in making the last semester ever a truly memorable one. And by ‘memorable’ I mean not at all because everyone will be blacked out the whole time.” True to their word, seniors kicked off their long anticipated Farewell Tour in style upon their triumphant return to Duke. For most people, the festivities began the week before the last semester of classes, which played host to nights of bacchanalian celebrations and days of hangovers and terrible dietary decisions. JThe less fancy-free kicked off their Farewell Tour by filling out the always popular police reports for miscellaneous private property that was stolen from off-East Campus residences during break. (From what I hear, if you haven’t filled out a police report yet, you haven’t really lived). The second stop on that particular Tour naturally entailed scouring the local pawn shops in the vain hope of buying back their own stolen property. Sure, say what you will about Durham, but for the select few this ritualistic trial by fire is just the city’s way of hardening soon-to-be-grads and preparing them for the cold, uncaring world that lies beyond the bubble. Unfair as it may seem, an integral part of the Duke experience entails successfully surviving Durham for four years .

Just kidding.

Well, sorta.. I guess Durham is supposed to be like “that kid” from middle school—she wasn’t really bad, she just had a bad reputation, which, ironically enough, is precisely what made “that kid” so memorable after all. Despite Durham’s tough love, it’s home to local haunts that somewhere along the line became pillars of all that is “Duke” and “wonderful.” In the course of the last week, no fewer than 1,000 seniors must have treated themselves to a welcomeback dinner at Mad Hatter’s and made a very necessary trip to Cook Out for Fancy Shakes before descending upon Charlie’s, the Joyce or Satisfaction’s with other marauding seniors to see and be seen... and to drink and be drunk. But now that classes have begun, a new ritualistic phase commences, and seniors are forced to decide how they’ll spend the rest of their numbered days. They must prioritize who and what is going to mean the most to them for the next four months. Making it to class before noon, for example, probably doesn’t make the Top 5 Countdown of Things to Do Before We Leave. At this point, if you’re half as diligent as your application to this school suggested, your hunt for the perfect six-figure salaried job is long over AND you’ve been accepted to every Ivy League grad program for which you deigned to apply. Otherwise, I can only imagine that you must be one of the elusive “hippies” who roam campus and have it all figured out because you don’t having anything figured out at all. One way or the other, dutiful class attendance is already not making the cut of “what

really matters now.” Whether you accidentally slept through the first day of the last semester, very deliberately “took the day off,” or just wound up on the wrong campus entirely (yes, it still happens to second-semester seniors), it’s probably because there are simply other, more important things to do with your time in college than... to d0... college. Regardless of how you choose to honor your remaining dme at Duke-in-Durham—be it with pub quizzes, with Bostock or with Big Beers in hand—do what you love. Make it fun and make it matter because you sure can’t make it last. Boston Cote is a Trinity senior. Her column runs every Friday.
