Cap on living groups raised to 35 percent by

Residence Life and Housing Services’ moratorium on selective living expansion officially ended during the first week of January, Campus Council President Jay Ganatra, a junior, announced Thursday night. Ganatra said the end of the

housing moratorium—which

lasted about two years—will bring about two changes in RLHS’ selective group policy. First, the ceiling for selective housing is now 35 percent of West Campus, a change from the previous cap of one-third. Second, a restriction limiting selective groups to 50 percent of any quadrangle was also lifted. Chi Psi and Delta Tau Delta fraternities were recently notified that they would be receiving housing in Edens Quadrangle in the fall of 2006. Eddie Hull, dean of residence life and executive director of housing services, made a verbal agreement with the groups that when the moratorium was lifted, they would get housing, Ganatra said. It remains unclear, however, how RLHS officials arrived at the decision to lift the moratorium. Hull was not available for comment, and Ganatra was unable to speak to the rationale for the decision.

Durham adopts alcohol monitoring bracelets by

Saidi Chen

THE CHRONICLE

Fifteen Durham residents are currently

being tested for their sobriety multiple

times a day by a bracelet that is raising controversy. The views about the appropriate use of SCRAM—the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor—varywidely fromjudge to judge across the 32 states in which itis used. There are those who say the technology is the most reliable way to keep someone from drinking and others who allege that the bracelet is discriminatory and unconstitutional. In addition, allegations of misrepresentation have plagued a local distribution company along with charges that certain marketers target Hispanic defendants. SCRAM—an eight-ounce mechanism strapped around the ankle—consists of two parts. The first tests vapor as it moves through the skin, measuring for alcohol consumption, and the other part detects any tampering with the device. The wearer is unaware when the bracelet takes readings, which can happen up to 48 times a day.

“The simplest way that I’ve come to think about SCRAM is that it’s a product that does one of two things: It either enables a person to prove their ability to maintain their sobriety, or it’s a tool that some authority can use to monitor a person who has been ordered to remain abstinent,” said Bruce Roberts, Trinity 79, president of Rehabilitation Support Services, the company that distributes the bracelets throughout much of North Carolina. There are many in the judicial system, however, who question the use of a SCRAM as a pre-trial aid intended to win leniency from ajudge or as a condition of probation. Durham District Judge Marcia Morey said defendants who wore the bracelet to show theirability to stay sober after being arrested for a DWI would get “absolutely nothing” in her courtroom. Signing up to wear the bracelet—at an initial cost of $75 and $l2 a day after that—is voluntary. “I would shake my head and say, T’m sorry you’ve wasted all your money,’ Morey said. “It’s not illegal to drink.

Bin Laden warns U.S. in new tape by

Lee Keath

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO, Egypt Osama bin Laden warned in an audiotape aired Thursday that his fighters are preparing new attacks in the United States but offered the American people a “long-term truce” without specifying the conditions. The tape, portions of which were aired on Al-Jazeera television, was the first from the al Qaeda leader in more than a year. It came only days after a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan that targeted bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, and reportedly killed four leading al Qaeda figures, possibly in-

eluding al-Zawahri’s son-in-law. There was no mention of that attack in the tape, which Al-Jazeera said was recorded in January. The network initially reported it believed the tape was made in December, but later corrected itself on the air. Editors at the station said they could not comment on how they knew when it was made. The CIA has authenticated the voice on the tape as that ofbin Laden, an agency official said. The al Qaeda leader is believed to be hiding in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Beyond confirming that bin Laden remains alive, the tape could be aimed at

projecting an image of strength to al and portraying the group as still capable of launching attacks despite blows against it, analysts said. The White House rejected the truce

Google refuses to reveal searches by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Google Inc. is rebuffing President George W. Bush’s administration’s demand for a peek at what millions of people have been looking up on the Internet’s leading search engine—a request that underscores the potential for online databases to become tools for government surveillance. Mountain View-based Google has refused to comply with a White House subpoena first issued last summer, prompting U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this week to ask a federal judge in Sanjose

for an order to hand over the requested records The government wants a list of all requests entered into Google’s search engine during an unspecified single week—a breakdown that could conceivably span tens of millions of queries. In addition, it seeks 1 million randomly selected Web addresses from various Google databases. In court papers thatthe Sanjose Mercury News reported on after seeing them Wednesday, theBush administration depicts the information as vital in itseffort to restore online child protection laws that have been struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Yahoo Inc., which runs the Internet’s second-most used search engine behind Google, confirmed Thursday that it had complied with a similar government subpoena. Although the government says it isn’t seeking any data that ties personal information to search requests, the subpoena still raises serious privacy concerns, experts said. Those worries have been magnified by recent revelations that the White House authorized eavesdropping on civilian

Two near-simultaneous bombings targeted a crowded downtown Baghdad coffee shop and a nearby restaurant Thursday, killing more than a dozen people. The attacks came as a foreign assessment team reported fraud in the Dec. 15 elections but did not endorse calls for a rerun.

Out of bounds: Illegal crossings pose dangers by

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

For senior Taylor Regis, driving to and from school every day is a potentially fatal activity. She sometimes panics when people dart across Erwin Road outside of pedestrian crosswalks and against traffic lights just in front ofDuke Hospital. “I feel like they’re putting both our lives in danger—you’re either swerving not to hit them, or they’re already out in the street, and you feel like you’re about to hit them,” said the off-campus resident, who lives adjacent to Erwin. “I’m surprised at how common it is, especially at a hospital. You’d think [the pedestrians] would be more aware of their surroundings.” Jaywalking is the common term for instances in which pedestrians cross streets outside a crosswalk or within a crosswalk against a traffic signal and force mo-

torists to yield It is a criminal infraction in North Carolina and a common practice in some areas in and surrounding Duke. Most students admit to witnessing or taking part in at least one jaywalking incident during their time at the University. On the corner of Erwin Rd. and Fulton St. across from Duke hospital, for example, people cross the street illegally several times an hour. “I’ve pretty much jaywalked all seven years [l’ve worked here],” said Jeff Thompson, an MRI technician at the Duke University Medical Center. Although Thompson has managed to get to work unscathed, accidents caused by footloose amblers are not an unfamiliar occurrence for the University. In the past decade, Duke has seen its SEE

Provost Peter Lange updated the Academic Council Thursday afternoon on recent developments for the

strategic plan. Officials from the Provost’s Office are in the process of drafting the University’s second official strategic plan, which guides the goals and priorities of the University as whole Administrators from Duke’s various centers, schools and institutes submitted preliminary drafts of their respective strategic plans late last semester. Officials from the entities are currently revising their proposals since receiving feedback from the Strategic Plan Steering Committee. Lange said the University’s major themes of focus for the next strategic plan —faculty excellence, service of society, the arts, the undergraduate experience, interdisciplinarity, internationalization, diversity and Central Campus—remain the same as they have been since the start of the process. They have developed further, however, since the provost last addressed the Council about the state of next

the strategic planning process last October. “The [themes] are beginning to take on heft—so much so that some dieting might have to happen before the plans see the light,” Lange said, noting that the plans are still taking shape. During the past two months, the Provost’s Office sent two memorandums to deans with suggestions about how to better integrate their plans with the University’s themes. The first letter, sent Dec. 9, gave general recommendations culled from all of the reports. The second memo, sent Jan. 9, provided more departmental, plan-specific thoughts to each of the University’s branches and parts. The final plans from the schools, centers and institutes are due March 1. Administrators will seek approval of the final University-wide plan from the Board of Trustees in May. Lange stressed that Duke needs to be distinctive from its academic peers. “Duke can learn from other institutions, but we must SEE ACADEMIC ON PAGE 9

Residence Life and Housing Services recently approved plans to give two additional fraternities housing in Edens Quadrangle. Chi Psi and Delta Tau Delta will begin living in the quad in the Fall 2006 semester. The organizations will join the 16 fraternities already located on campus and the three fraternities and two selective houses currently residing in Edens. The decision to give the groups sections signals an end to the moratorium instituted in 2004 that kept organizations from gaining housing on campus. Students offer their opinions on Chi Psi and DTD's upcoming move to West Campus. "From what I've seen, DTD seems to be popular with the students. I'm an RA in Randolph, and I see that all my residents want to be in DTD. If they are that popular, then they should have a section." —Kldus Asfaw, sophomore "It puts a lot more work on the RAs in Edens. I'll put it that way." —Alia Henderson, senior

"Bring 'em out there. Misery loves company." —Claire Casper, senior "It definitely changes the rush process up now that the guys rushing will be able to live in a section." —Keith Greenberg, sophomore "With no linking next year on West, it opens up a lot more space for sophomores to move into." —Justin Mahood, sophomore "It's good that they've been given housing because now they'll all be in one place rather than spread out for their, parties. It helps a lot." —Anit Rastogi, freshman

UNC fraternity admits to hazing Beta Theta Pi fraternity at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill admitted in an Honor Court meeting Monday night that it violated the Honor Code’s hazing policy. The group was placed under “group probation of an indefinite duration,” effective until at least the end of the 2006-2007 school year. Probation prevents the fraternity from holding any organized social event. Each semester, however, the fraternity will be permitted to host an event that includes either parents, alumni or both. It must be approved by the Office of the Dean of Students. Code offenses were originally reported in an anonymous e-mail sent to the assistant dean of students and director of Greek Affairs Sept. 21. Group offers money to combat bias An independent alumni organization created to attack “radicalism” at the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles is offering $lOO bounties to students who turn over thorough documentation of cases in which professors show political bias in the classroom. Students who give tips about “a problem professor” will receive $lO prizes. The Bruin Alumni Association announced it will also offer the use of recording equipment. The $lOO prize would necessitate that students hand over “full, detailed lecture notes, all professor-distributed materials, and full tape recordings of every class session, for one class” and have the professor’s permission to make the recordings. The Bruin Alumni Association was founded by Andrew Jones, UCLA ’O3 and a former leader of the campus’ Republican organization. The website of Jones’

Campuses on list of security threats Six colleges have made a Pentagon watch list of “suspicious incidents” after antiwar protests were held on their campuses. The 400-page list includes information about 1,500 “threats” to national security that occurred over a three-month period. The State University of New York at Albany and New York University appear on the list twice. City College of the City University of New York, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of California at Santa Cruz and Southern Connecticut State University are each mentioned on the list once. All of the noted protests at the colleges were aimed at military recruiters. Students threaten suit against i2hub Forty-two college students at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst are demanding that i2hub, a peer-to-peer music service, pay the $3,750 in damages that the Recording Industry Association of America is seeking from each of them. The students allege that the service tricked them into breaking the law by implying that the file-swapping program was legal. Lisa Kent, a lawyer in the Student Legal Services Office, noted in a letter to i2hub that the company unfairly advertised its service on cajnpus buses, making it seem as though the university endorsed the site.

The university has denied that its reasons for wanting to dismiss Reeves were related to his sexual orientation.

It’s like telling a shoplifter you cannot shop.” But others, like Chief District Court Judge Joe Buckner of the OrangeChatham district, are supportive of the technology, arguing that it keeps repeat offenders from harming others. “We don’t use it for those who just got charged for drinking. We use it for people who’ve gotten caught for multiple DWIs,” he said. “Those are the folks that are out there killing and maiming a lot of folks.” Buckner is so confident in SCRAM that his endorsements of the technology have appeared on the manufacturer’s website and in its brochures. On the website, he described SCRAM as the best thing to hit North Carolina since electricity, The Herald-Sun reported. The disparity between courtrooms exists in part because there is no state law delineatinghowSCßAMistobeused. But theAdministrative Office of the Courts, the body thatofficiates the state’sjudicial system, has warnedjudges about the technology. “We have raised both what we think are legal and programmatic concerns to judges and say we think they should be aware of those concerns when and if they use the technology,” said Greg Stahl, senior deputy director of the AOC.

about was done by a company hired by SCRAM’s manufacturer. “Recendy judges in both Florida and Michigan have found the device to be unreliable,” he said. “All our other devices that have to do with alcohol or drugs are monitored by Health and Human Services. There’s no such regulation for this device.” Still, Roberts insists that SCRAM helps protect repeat offenders in alcohol-related crimes from hurting others. “Over 13,000 people have worn SCRAM in the last three years. To date, there has been no known DWI arrest of a person while wearing SCRAM,” he said. In Durham, concerns have been raised over the methods used by Kenneth Hewett, a manager and field representative for Rehabilitation Support Services, when approaching clients, especially Hispanic defendants. “I think the worst problem in Durham was the false pretense by the SCRAM representative [Hewett], who claimed to be a court official,” Morey said. “He told defendants that the judge wanted this done. He told through interpreters especially to Hispanics that they would get leniency if they were monitored.” Hewett denied these allegations, saying that he always uses interpreters when approaching Hispanic clients and attributing any confusion to miscOmmunication. “The only problem is that a large population of the DUI offenders happens to be Hispanic... Their drinking habits, the cultural differences, it’s a big gap, you know,” he said. Roberts also defended his company from the allegations.

“The individuals that we would work with as clients fall into whatever demographic happens to be produced by a given court community,” he said. “As it happens in Durham, you have a very high Hispanic population, so there’s a very high percentage of Hispanics who are showing up as DWI offenders. We don’t target Hispanics, absolutely not.” Morey maintained she has sworn affidavits from court reporters that Hewett had asked interpreters to tell defendants they would get leniency if they wore a SCRAM. She also expressed outrage recently that Hewett had been allowed to sit in front of the bar in a courtroom, giving the impression that he was a state employee. “Representations have apparently been made to people, especially people of Hispanic heritage who are perhaps of less-reliable English skills, that this program will have benefits for them that they may not have,” said Durham district attorney Mike Nifong. ‘They are paying for something that will not benefit them in any fashion and only find out when they arrive to court.” Hewett, who said his battles with alcohol and prescription drug addictions in the past help him identify with his clients, insists that he does not discriminate when approaching defendants. “I have a lot of Hispanic friends. I don’t know why they painted me as targeting Hispanics,” he said. “I do what I’m told to do by the attorneys, and I do what I’m told to do by the judges.” Craig Brown, another Durham district court judge, pointed out that about 46 percent of the DWI offender population in Durham is Hispanic. “Mr. Hewett does not

CC from page 1 Facilities and Services Chair Brittany Greenfield, a junior, were informed of the impending change at the end of the Fall 2005 semester, the Council was not otherwise consulted about the policy revision. During its weekly meeting, the Council returned to the creation of a Selective Community Assessment as a way to reassert its authority over the housing process. “The bottom line is we weren’t consulted on DTD and Chi Psi because since annual review was ended, we have no way to address the< issue,” Ganatra said at Thursday night’s meeting. “I wish they could have told us sooner. I think maybe we should have been more in the loop on it.” Ganatra cited the two groups’ long-standing presence on campus as one justification for receiving sections. He said because of rules banning selective groups on Main West, restrictions on the ratios of selective living groups within a quad and on the campus overall had to be changed. RLHS instituted the moratorium in January 2004. At the time, officials said they wanted to re-evaluate the overall housing situation. Hull also said that with the growing interest in possible sorority housing, RLHS wanted to keep space available for sororities in the future rather than allocate bed space to other selective groups. Council members rehashed many of the same issues they had briefly addressed before the holiday break, especially concerning the purpose of the assessment and composition of the review committee the plan would create. An earlier version of the plan mandated two reviews, the first in the fall and a second in the spring. Rubinfeld argued that switching to a spring-fall cycle would allow for adjustment within the housing year and ensure that students returning in August would not be left in the lurch by abrupt changes to the housing status of selective groups they had joined -the previous spring semester. ‘You rush a frat on the basis that they have five commons rooms and this great setup, and then they might not have it because it’s been stripped in the spring,” Rubinfeld said, speaking against the fall-spring cycle.

Representatives also debated the makeup of the evaluating committee. Ganatra presented a plan that would create four to five teams to review selective housing groups, comprised of representatives from Campus Council, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Selective House Council and the Quad Council from each selective group’s quad. Council members expressed concern that this might lead to inconsistencies of judgement among different evaluation teams. In an informal vote, those present agreed on a plan that would create a permanent committee with alternates, rather than several groups. In other business: Rubinfeld said about one-third of male halls and one female hall on East Campus had voted in favor of unlocking their bathroom doors during balloting in December. Results from West Campus are not yet available. He also said he expects that a survey evaluating residents’ relationships with their residence coordinators will be administered online Feb. 6 through Feb. 10.

He added that being affiliated with such a huge corporation benefits many of the unionized dining hall workers, who now have job options across the country available to them. But although such considerations matter, the most important factor in selecting a provider remains the quality of the food, Wulforst said. Senior Andrew Wallace, co-chair of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, voiced similar concerns about ARAMARK but said the company will be allowed to rebid on the contract as a “professional courtesy.” DUSDAC has voted no-confidence in ARAMARK for the last two years.

ACADEMIC from page 3 also set our own sights and help set the standard for others,” Lange said of the next strategic plan. “That is what leadership means.” Lange said the University plan informs the plans of each school, institute and center, while conversely, their ideas inform the overarching University plan. He added that resources will be allocated to areas in which the University’s goals and the respective school’s goals intersect. “[Deans] won’t always like it... but .that’s the way the model works,” Lange said. He added that the administration sees the overhaul of Central Campus—a massive undertaking set to begin in the next few years—as a means to accomplish specific goals for the University. “Most think of Central Campus as a place,” he said. “Central Campus is a nexus where many of the strategic themes will intersect and come into play.” Lange noted that several of the arts departments are in discussions to move to new facilities on Central Campus, including the Center for Documentary Studies and the Department ofArt and Art History. The Department of Romance Studies, among others, might also move to Central in order to take advantage of and collaborate with the arts departments, Lange said. Duke’s goals for the undergraduate experience are also integral to plans for the new campus. “Central is the end point for the developmental model for housing,” Lange said, noting the plans would launch students into post-graduate life. He said the spatial area for the first stage of Central Campus is similar in scale to the area between the Clocktower and the Davison Building and between the bus stop and the Duke Chapel on West Campus. “We aren’t talking about a mammoth space in the first phase but can do a lot with that space if we know how to use it,” Lange said. The first official strategic plan, “Building on Excellence,” is set to expire this year, but its legacy will be crucial to the new plan. “What ‘Building on Excellence’ did, in our view, is firmed up some substantial fragilities.... If you take a step, you aren’t as likely to fall down rather than take a step up,” Lange said. “Now is the time to aggressively build on this much stronger base.”

JAYWALKING from page 3 share ofaccidents caused by the criminal infraction. These include a 1995 incident in which a student was hit by a car while illegally crossing Cameron Boulevard and another in 2001 in which a woman was hit by a bus while crossing Broad Street. In 1997, Duke University Police Department officials said “numerous nearaccidents” forced them to publicly urge pedestrians to cross Erwin Road in front of the hospital within the confines of the designated crosswalk. Detective Sgt. John Sheley told The Chronicle at the time that the reason for the action was that the “amount of jaywalking... [had] been very heavy.” The Chronicle also reported that University administrators were planning on building a temporary barricade to prevent pedestrians from jaywalking and that a more permanent structure was on its way. At present, however, only a narrow line of sparsely-spaced orange cones marks the center of the street. Currendy, DUPD officials said they are not undertaking any new measures to deterjaywalkers. Preventing accidents, however, is not just up to police and pedestrians. Motorists need to take precautions as well, safety officials said. “People need to be extra careful about walking and driving,” said Leanora Minai, senior public relations specialist for DUPD. “People need to be extra vigilante. They need to take a look and not just drive right out.” Minai added that she could not recall any major crashes in the past year caused by jaywalking, but she noted that she did

Jaywalking is a prevalent problem on and near many college campuses. Erwin Road, a busy street through Durham, is the site of many illegal crossings. have a record of how many citations were issued for motorists who did not yield at crosswalks. DUPD does not issue citations to jaywalkers, Minai said. She added that she has not received any complaints from the Duke community regarding the infraction. Some students, on the other hand, voiced several complaints. Senior Zach Archer, who also lives off campus, said the lack of sidewalks on La Salle Street just off Erwin forces some people to walk in the road. “It seems like it would be really easy to hit them,” he said. Nick DeVincentis, a seniorwho walks to campus from his apartment at The Belmont apartment complex, said it is comnot

mon for people to cross Erwin against the light, sometimes causing cars to yield. “It’s usually not that dangerous, though,” he added. Other college campuses also experience the problem of jaywalking. Safety officials at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are taking steps to alleviate the problem near their campus. Last September The News and Observer reported that UNC-Chapel Hill police officers were attempting to crack down on jaywalkers. Randy Young, an official with the UNCChapel Hill Department of Public Safety, confirmed that the department is considering issuing citations for errant walkers. He also noted that since July 2001, po-

lice have issued approximately 650 citations to motorists who speed or fail to yield at pedestrian crosswalks. A 1999 fatality at UNC involving a pedestrian sparked the creation of a committee to educate civilians about the dangers of jaywalking in 2001, Young said. Safety officials hand out information pamphlets to people twice a year in hightraffic areas—like the student union and fraternity court—for pedestrians on UNC’s campus, he added. Young noted that areas adjacent to college campuses are hotbeds for jaywalking, and extra vigilance is thus warranted. “Pedestrian safety hinges on the communication to both motorists and pedestrians,” he said. “One without the other isn’t prudent.”

Undefeated Duke looks to make history in D.C. by

Matthew Iles

THE CHRONICLE

The White House and Capitol Hill. Congress and the President. Washington D.C. is as much about protecting our future as it is preserving our history. How fitting that this year’s Duke men’s basketball team has a chance to make its own history in such a storied city. A win over Georgetown (11-4) tomorwould cement this team in the annals of Duke basketball history, as it would mark the first time that No. 1 vs. Duke (17-0) has begun with an 18-0 start. But as momentous as that would be, the Blue Devils are simply focused on playing SATURDAY, 1:30 p.m. their game, win or lose. “You know, we take it one game at a Washington, D.C. time,” freshman point guard Greg Paulus said. “We know we’re going to get everybody’s shot whether we’re at home or on the road.” So this weekend should be no differentfrom any other as Duke travels to the MCI Center. The Blue Devils, how-

Brow

ever, are not likely to underestimate George town, as the Hoyas’ two Big East losses were close road contests against

ranked opponents West Virginia and Connecticut. “We’ve got to go up to D.C. and play Georgetown,” Paulus said. “And we’ve got to get ready for them.” While 18 wins to start the season would be unprecedented, facing such a formidable opponent as Georgetown does not allow the Blue Devils to focus on the potential history. “I don’t think we’re really worried about that,” the ACC’s leading scorer JJ. Redick said about his team’s current unbeaten campaign. “Our goal right now is to compete for a league championship regular season and all I know is right now we’re in first place.” Indeed, the ACC’s lead is in die hands of the Blue Devils, but a win in our nation’s capital is essential to keep first place in the polls.

FENCING

Reloaded with young talent, Duke sets bar high for year by

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

HAN, QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

After four fencers qualified for Nationals a year ago, the fencing team is hoping to send even more this year.

Fencing is one of the oldest activities known to man. An ode to chivalry, fencing dates back to the Middle Ages. The 2006 Duke fencing team will look to bring some youthful exuberance to this old sport. season The Blue Devils’ 2006 roster includes a preview refreshing mix of seasoned veterans and standout freshmen. Duke is anchored by senior captains Nic Testerman and Dorothy Hubbard, but also returns two-time All-American saber Ibtihaj Muhammad and sophomores Jackson McClam and Zachary Moss. The men’s squad is ranked 10th in the nation, but Testerman thinks that might be too low. “I think we can finish higher than that,” Testerman said. “I think we can finish better this year than we have in a while.” Last year’s men’s team finished 8-6, sending McClam and Nathan Bragg —who graduated last year—to the NCAA Championships, where McClam finished 21st. Testerman has also competed at Nationals, earning a trip his freshman season before suffering through two injury-plagued years. On the women’s team, Hubbard is coming off a year in which she went 33-9 and will combine with junior Anne Kercsmar (36-6) to form one of the best epee duos in the country. But the returnees are not expected to

carry the team singlehandedly. The Blue Devils have one of the best freshman classes in the program’s history, headlined by sabers Peter Truszkowski and Laughlin Stewart and foil Stephanie Butnik. “The freshman class is very good,” head coach Alex Beguinet said. “It’s one of the strongest I’ve had yet.” Despite the variation in ages, the team has developed a good chemistry; younger fencers say their older teammates have been helpful in transitioning to collegiate fencing. “When it comes right down to it, it’s all about fencing,” Hubbard said when asked what advice she gives to the freshmen. “When you get on the strip, it’s just another opponent. Do what you’ve always done.” Beguinet is anxious to see that chemistry in action Sunday in Philadelphia, where Duke opens its season against Temple, Rutgers, Haverford and Cornell. “[l’m looking for] a good team rapport [on Sunday],” Beguinet said. “I want to see all the freshmen together for the first time, see how the old ones make the young ones fit in and how the young ones fit in with the old ones.” That mixture ofold and new has everyone excited about this year’s prospects. The team has been emphasizing individual workouts in practice so far, hoping to send even more than the four fencers they sent to Nationals last year. When asked about his expectations, Beguinet exclaimed, “To do the same or better [than last year]!”

Surprising 2nd half leads Cavs past UNC by

Hank Kurz

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Virginia won its second consecutive ACC game Thursday night, playing stout defense and getdng key second-half contributions from several unexpected sources in a 72-68 victory against No. 24 UNC North Carolina.

VIRGINIA

Sophomore

Sean Singletary normally is the one who takes charge for Virginia in the waning moments of close games, but with the star point guard battling exhaustion and myriad nicks, J.R. Reynolds, Laurynas Mikalauskas and Jason Cain stepped in to make big plays. “Good things are happening,” Reynolds said after scoring 10 ofhis 16 points in the last 11 minutes when the surprising Cavaliers used a 26-10 run over 9 minutes to go ahead for good and then held on to beat the equally youthful Tar Heels. The victory can’t hurt as head coach Dave Leitao tries to reinforce his message to the Cavaliers (9-6, 3-2 in the ACC). “I can talk until I’m blue in the face, but these proving points happen, fortunately or unfortunately, when you win or lose games,” he said. North Carolina (10-4,2-2) lost its second straight. The Tar Heels fell 81-70 at home to Miami Saturday and were stymied by Virginia’s interior defense on Tyler Hansbrough and 36 percent shooting overall. “Their guards just dominated the game,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. Singletary led Virginia with 18 points, but had only two down the stretch when Mikalauskas twice scored on putbacks and grabbed several key rebounds. Cain finished with just seven points and five rebounds, but added five blocks, several in the final minutes as the Tar Heels tried to get the ball inside to Tyler

Hansbrough. Hansbrough led North Carolina with 18 points and 10 rebounds and David Noel had 14 and 10 rebounds, but they also combined to commit 10 of the Tar Heels’ 14 turnovers*. Singletary had eight points in a 13-2 run that gave Virginia the lead just over five min-

The burst grew to 26-10 over nine minutes, giving the Cavaliers a 5546 edge with 8:29 to play, and from then it was a matter of staying in front.

the bottom line is you’ve got to put the ball in the basket.” North Carolina closed to within 64-61 on two free throws by Reyshawn Terry with 2:51 left, but Singletary answered with two of his own and Reynolds followed a Tar Heels turnover by adding two more foul shots to rebuild the margin to 68-61.

CURRIE from page 11 half, Currie spent the rest of the period on the bench. Without their star senior in the game, the Blue Devils were impatient and unable to establish an offensive rhythm. Duke committed four of its six first-half turnovers and had five unsuccessful one-look possessions, while Currie watched from the sidelines. “She’s obviously a phenomenal player, but she draws so much attention that it helps our other players as well,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Almost every time she puts it on the deck, she sees a double-team. People are really focused on trying to stop her, which allows other players to step up and hit shots. It’s always an advantage when she’s out on the floor because everyone’s paying attention to her.” In the second half, it was hard not to pay attention to Currie. When N.C. State pulled within four points, 4339, Currie came off a screen, elevated and nailed a 16foot jumper like it was practice.

THE CHRONICL,E

From there, the senior fueled Duke’s 30-11 secondhalf run with nine points and the Wolfpack was never able to get back into the game. But it was not just Currie’s shooting that powered the Blue Devils. Duke’s game-ending run was highlighted by Currie’s dish in the paint to center Alison Bales, which caused the fans at Cameron to erupt and forced N.C. State to call a timeout. With 6:35 left in the game, Currie went to the bench again—not because her coach was afraid she would be needed later in the game, but because her play had put the game so out of reach that she would not be. Despite playing only 19 minutes, more than seven minutes less than her season average, Currie finished the game with 20 points, shooting 50 percent from the field, 2-for-3 from behind the arc and going a perfect 4Tor-4 from the free-throw line. Yet, Currie’s contribution to Duke’s victory went beyond the stat sheet. The Blue Devils were a different team when she was on the floor. They were tougher and more confident. Reflecting its star forward’s style of play, Duke made the Wolfpack pay attention.

SYLVIA QU/THE CHRONICLE

Freshman Abby Waner clocked in 22 minutes off the bench Thursday and picked up nine points and two steals against the Wolfpack.

W. BBALL from page 11 Currie’s jumper sparked the Blue Devil streak. N.C. State was able to keep pace with the deeper Blue Devils for much of the game because of its success in the post. The Wolfpack interior players often drove by the slower Duke defenders to notch 30 points in the paint, led by 6-foot-7 junior Gillian Goring, who came off the bench to contribute 12 points and seven rebounds. “I thought we were just a step slow with everything in our post defense,” Goestenkors said. “Their posts were really having a field day with us, and then when we doubled them, they kicked it out, and that’s when they hit a couple of wide-open threes.” Duke was able to compensate for the Wolfpack’s success in the paint with tremendous defensive pressure. The Blue Devils forced a number of airballjump shots as well as 19 turnovers—which they converted into 23 points. Duke’s depth was once again a valuable asset as all 11 players who saw action scored, and eight registered doubledigit minutes. Freshman Abby Waner continued her impressive play coming off the bench, scoring nine points while knocking down a pair of three-pointers. The loss was the second in a row for N.C. State at the hands of an undefeated team. The Wolfpack lost, 65-53, Sunday to No. 4 North Carolina, whom the Blue Devils play Jan. 29. “We knew N.C. State was going to be a tough opponent for us. We felt like they were probably a little angry coming off that North Carolina loss,” Goestenkors said. “I’m just really proud of the team and how they responded to a quality opponent.”

MICHAEL CHANG/THE CHRONICLE

Senior Shelden Williams anchors a defensethat has held opponents to 42-percent shooting.

M.BBALL from page 11 add incentive for the Hoyas. “You know, anytime you have a Duke basketball jersey on, people are going to target you anyway,” said Shelden Williams, Duke’s all-time leader in blocks. “So it’s something that we’re already accustomed to, and fortunately we’re withstanding the pressure right now. Hopefully we’ll be able to keep on doing what we’re doing.” The Hoyas will feature a much slower pace than the Blue Devils are accustomed to. Indeed, Redick and Williams’ combined 44.9 points per game nearly matches the average output of Georgetown’s startnot

ing five, 51.7. But the Hoyas do feature a balanced scoring attack, as six players average between about nine and 12 points per game. In addition, Georgetown’s size could provide matchup problems for top-ranked Duke. The Hoyas’ starting line of Roy Hibbert, Brandon Bowman and Jeff Green measure 7-foot-2, 6-foot-9 and 6-foot-9, re-

spectively.

Despite the challenges Georgetown presents and the history on the line, the Blue Devils say they will continue to do what got them to this position. “You know, it’s a target,” senior captain Lee Melchionni said. “It only becomes burdensome if we let it change the way we play.”

FRONTCU

BACKOURT BENCH

The 7-foot-2,283-pound Hibbert is much bigger than any of Duke's frontcourt players. But Williams should put up big numbers against a Georgetown frontcourt that allowed Connecticut's Hilton Armstrong to shoot 8-for-10. The Hoyas have excellent outside shooting in Wallace and Cook, who both shoot over 46 percent from beyond the arc, but opposing teams have shot just 26 percent from three-point range against the

Blue Devils. Duke will miss DeMarcus Nelson, who likely will not play, but with Josh McRoberts, Duke's bench should prove superior. Darrel Owens, who is shooting .517, joins Jessie Sapp as the Hoyas' only non-starters averaging double-digit minutes.

Subject 2: Male. Basketball tucked under arm. Übiquitous iPod earplugs dangling from hand. Gives me a quizzical look and hopefully glances at the (empty) bus seat behind him before returning my greeting. Remains relatively quiet but grins periodically while delivering short, one-word responses such as “what?” “what?” and “huh?” before eventually shuffling off the bus in mild bewilderment. As most students and faculty could probably tell you, and as my week-long experimentation confirms, Dukies are generally quite nice. Subjects, 1 and 2 provided good examples of the kinds of amiable, albeit sometimes awkward, responses you might receive should you decide to strike up conversation with a stranger on a campus bus. Well, sure, as your mother might have mentioned in passing, it’s probably not a good idea to talk to strangers on an otherwise deserted C-2 in the dead of the dark night. And yes, perhaps the girl seated behind you is silently memorizing conjugations or maximizing productivity in some other disturbingly useful way. But could a heart-warming “hi” or voluntary flash of your scintillating smile hurt? If your answer is still “well, yeah it could,” then, well, you’re wrong—but for the purposes of demonstration, let us move our friendly ambitions to another time and place You’re walking along a familiar pathway at a leisurely pace, on the way to your dorm for your semiannual Mean Girls movie marathon (yes, guys too). Upon catching sight of the student trudging toward you on the same sidewalk, you carefully avert your gaze to your left shoe. A split second before you pass your fellow Duke denizen, your head snaps back up and your mouth twitches in an inadvertent leer as you debate whether or not to try a sociable smile.

depends on the installed selective groups to keep its nightlife going. So many of our social traditions, our remaining shreds of campuscentric social life, revolve around selective-house sections, like it or not. It remains easier for members of a group to mobilize and plan events, whereas independents lack the same institutionalized organization. Living together can help a group better complete this public service of sorts. Up close, this is a victory for two deserving groups under the established residential and selective living system. But the bigger picture is blurry. RLHS has yet to tell us why the moratorium was lifted and whether the dilemmas it was meant to resolve were in fact addressed. It’s time to clear up the ambiguities.

“Hello.”

Whether you regularly avoid eye contact on the bus or on the sidewalk, the seemingly unfailingly polite—or at least unobjectionable—thing to do is to swivel yOur head ever so slighdy in the most farcical direction possible (i.e. presumably to stare at open air or check that your clothes are still on). Besides spawning neck-cramp epidemics, this well-intentioned reflex can have unexpected negative effects on community atmosphere. In short, it doesn’t contribute much in the way of making Duke a comfortable, inclusive place to be The much-admired “Speaking Tradition” at Washington and Lee University was implemented by Robert E. Lee 200 years ago and is still upheld today. Its premise is simple: Greet the people you encounter on your daily treks around campus. I hereby officially propose we establish a speaking and smiling tradition of our own. But to really grasp the meaning behind what for many is just a mechanical flapping of the arm, perhaps we need to rethink the more complex expectations behind this simple gesture. The everyday “hello” and accompanying smile provide just more than an acknowledgement of the factual existence of someone somewhere in your proximity. It signifies an understanding of the value of mutual civility and respect in the university setting and, hopefully, in all future working, learning and living environments. And perhaps this is a stretch, but saying “hi” just seems like a nice little thing to do. Consider a jaunty nod, an enthusiastic tumingup of the mouth, a trademark wave. And if you’re the dramatic type, lift that moldy baseball cap and give a sweeping bow. Whatever floats your boat will probably elevate a few spirits. Most importantly, realize it’s okay if you don’t receive a greeting in return. More awkward than an unretumed “hello?”—two intelligent Dukies twisting their necks in opposite directions to avoid a warm and simple exchange ofnods. Back in our primitive stages of development (i.e. high school), we roamed halls in packs and reserved our rowdy greeting rituals for those we intimately knew. But now that we’re part of a mature and thriving community of learners, hopefully we’re more inclined to appreciate the merits of being openly friendly to all. See an obvious tourist? Widen the applicant pool. Smile and demonstrate Duke’s legacy of southern hospitality. We’ve got our “please” and “thank you.” Now let’s try “hello!” >

A trigger-happy God Mayor

Ray Nagin of New Orleans is all (crystal) balls. Many suspected but few knew how incredibly zealous the man was until he called New Orleans “chocolate” and cited am God’s Divine -S Retribution as the underlying source for the recent devastation of the Gulf boston cote Coast. the naked truth At a Monday celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mayor Nagin misused an ideal opportunity to discuss the positive and constructive role played by the black community in New Orleans and instead chose to play an antagonistic blame-game. First it was the federal government, then it was the black community, and before it was all over, the mayor had mustered the gall to point fingers at God Herself. With a nation watching, Mayor Nagin delivered an MLK Day speech more reminiscent of a seance than anything else. Nagin claimed that God always “meant” for New Orleans to be a predominantly black city and asserted that the devastating and deadly Old Testamentstyle hurricane was in fact celestial vengeance because “God is mad at America.” God directed Her hurricane-wrath right at the “chocolate” city of New Orleans, leaving the Mayor with only one conceivable reason why: By Nagin’s own logic and admission, God is mad at black people. After the MLK Day speech, and for some inexplicable reason, Nagin ardendy adhered to his “chocolate” analogy and tried to validate his rationale to a dumfounded media: “How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about,” he said. “New Orleans was a chocolate city before Katrina. It is going to be a chocolate city after. How is that divisive? It is white and black working together, coming together and m

making something special.”

I mean, he’s kidding, right?

commentaries

Instead of apologizing for the use of an inappropriate and ill-conceived analogy, the mayor immediately tried to backpedal his way out of a highly racialized commentary by turning it around on the critical media. While the analogy was (probably?) meant to comfort those displaced by the hurricanes, it unfairly categorized people under a single demeaning blanket term and negated the efforts that have been made by a myriad of people who are painstakingly piecing New Orleans back together. Granted, the chocolate analogy was clearly never meant to be about racial alliance. The speech was directed at an almost all-black audience to celebrate the achievements of Martin Luther King, Jr. In the abstract, a speech about the post-Katrina role of African-American men and women in New Orleans should have been perfectly acceptable. But Nagin’s actual speech and his initial excuses for what he said were deplorable. It took Nagin quite a while to admit that he had been... well, less than judicious in his choice of words. Speeches like the mayor’s only serve to increase hyper-racial awareness in a city that is already embroiled in heated interracial hostilities. In the current racially charged reconstruction, what really makes the city of New Orleans any more “ours” than “theirs?” What gives either group of people the supposed right to “claim” or “reclaim” the city at the expense of one racial group over another? Nagin injudiciously mixed race and religion with a national tragedy that transcends both color and creed. And yet, Mayor Nagin still blindly insists that his biggest mistake was bringing God into it by saying God “meant” for New Orleans to be black. Well, he’s wrong. That wasn’t his biggest mistake. Regardless of whether or not Nagin has a direct line to the Lady in Charge, it was wrong of him to use an MLK Day public address to pass the buck. Just because the mayor admonished himself for discussing God’s supposed role in the devastation and the racial composition of New Orleans, it doesn’t mean he abandoned the beliefs. It just means that he regrets ever saying them aloud. Boston Cote is a Trinity senior. Her column runs every Friday.

success?

story. About 34 years ago, my parents met on the first

day of their freshman year at Duke University as they nervously sat riding the

East-West bus As total strangers from different parts of the country and in entirely separate dorms, fate intervened as my mom struck up a conversation with my father’s roommate, and the rest, as they say, laura zwiener is history. During the course the z spot offour years of dating, nearly 30 years of marriage and seven years of sending three daughters through Duke, my parents have stayed in touch with countless other Duke friends whose long-lasting partnerships also began on this campus. In fact, in asking friends about their parents’ unions, I’ve been hard-pressed to find many whose parents did not meet at college. In my limited “research” on this topic, I’ve already encountered at least ten people in my immediate circle of ac‘Bos and quaintances whose parents met at Duke in the 1970 were married shortly thereafter. In thinking over this discovery, I felt more than a little confused as I realized the underlying discrepancies between our two generations. As graduates of Duke plus other advanced degree programs, and as successes in their chosen fields, my parents and their peers all seemed to value strong relationships as a component of their success. Since most of the intra-Duke marriages I investigated are still intact—and many produced children that returned to Duke—I am puzzled at the striking difference of value placed on personal relationships between the two generations. If our parents’ generation’s recipe for success in life found away to incorporate strong personal relationships with apparent strong ambition and drive, why have their children’s generation settled for “hook-up” culture submerged in Bud Light? The prevailing oncampus atmosphere today is one in which personal relationships are often seen as a hindrance to a successful future as opposed to a key ingredient in reaching it. Is our generation bound to see success and committed relationships as mutually exclusive beyond the college years? For those of you in committed relationships at Duke, congratulations, I applaud you. Yet if we are truly honest, we realize that there aren’t very many serious relationships at Duke these days. All colleges around the country are awash in the “hookup” or binge-drinking culture, and therefore it isn’t something unique to Duke. However, as a top-five university, Duke should strive to create an equally impressive relationship culture among its students. Duke’s “work hard, play hard” mentality seems to create a climate on campus that is both wonderful and part of the downfall of the personal relationship: on the one hand, it motivates students to want to succeed, to be aggressive in achieving their goals and ambitious in planning for their future. However, being an intelligent person in constant competition with other highly intelligent students is stressful. Everyone needs a release once in awhile. Yet, this is where we begin to diverge from the healthier habits of our parents. We seem to view committed relationships as a weak choice and a waste of our time, instead choosing to “play the (anonymous) field” for the better part of our four years here. In only dedicating ourselves to the predominant social culture of drinking to excess and having casual hookups, we are eschewing the possibility of getting to know any of our peers in a serious or meaningful way. I worry that this behavior will lead to our generation becoming numb to our own feelings and treating our peers as competitive objects to be conquered rather than as individuals to be cherished. My parents will be the first to tell you that they had a great time at Duke, partied hard, worked hard, and yes, even dated other people, but at the end of the day they both (along with most others around them) realized that investing in another person to share your time with was one of the key ingredients to personal success, not a hindrance. Loyal and honest relationships and true sober friendships with people we wouldn’t otherwise have the “time” in our busy schedules to get to know should be on the top of our priority list during our time here at Duke. As a community of tomorrow’s leaders, perhaps we should re-examine our choices and consider that an investment in healthy relationships is the best investment we could ultimately make in ourselves and our future success. -
