Interim leader to stay on as DUPD director BY

IZA WOJCIECHOWSKA THE CHRONICLE

After serving seven months as the interim director of Duke University Police Department, Robert Dean was named DUPD director, officials announced Tuesday. A d ministrators asked Dean who had worked for DUPD since 1973 but retired as a major in 2003—t0 serve as interim director in July 2005 while the University was conducting a search for an associate vice president for campus safety and security. The new position was filled by Aaron Graves Jan. 9. No search was conducted for a new DUPD director, and officials asked Dean to stay on as di-

title of DUPD “chief’ as soon as his status as a police officer is reactivated—a stipulation under North Carolina law. Officials said Dean’s enthusiasm for the job, combined with his institutional knowledge, garnered their support as they considered him for the position. “He did an outstandingjob in the interim period, and he was fully committed to staying longer and making the community safer,” Graves said. Executive Vice President Tailman Trask told The Chronicle in October that the decision of whether or not a search for a chiefof police would occur would be made once Graves was hired. “There was no search,” Graves said. “[Dean] had been filling the position for several months, and he had previously been very much involved in various leadership positions. Based on that experience and based on current needs, I thought he was a great fit to lead the University department.” Dean was the ideal—and

THE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL There was no way the Blue Devils should have beaten North Carolina Tuesday night. Duke was playing its third game in six days, and the Smith Center was rocking for most of the second half. But somehow, even though the team blew a 17-point second-half lead and trailed by five with 4:33 to play, No. 2 Duke pulled out an 8783 win over the No. 23 Tar Heels. “When we lost the lead, I think we showed the spirit that I had sensed in this team throughout the year,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We just had a good spirit—a spirit that we’re going to win—and we kept our poise and hit some big shots.” Spirit was not the only thing the Blue Devils (22-1, 10-0 in the

Haitian voters overrun election workers by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scuffles PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti broke out and polling stations opened hours late Tuesday as masses of Haitians waited—sometimes in mile-long lines—to vote under the protection of U.N. peacekeepers crouching behind machine guns and patrolling alongside armored vehicles. Outside the gang-controlled Cite Soleil slum, frustrated voters pounded on empty ballot boxes and chanted, “It’s time for Cite Soleil to vote!” Rene Preval, a 63-year-old former president backed by many poor Haitians, is the

front-runner, according to pre-election polls. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said “people are investing everything in this election.” Among 33 other presidential candidates are a factory owner whose slogan is “Order, Discipline, Work,” and another former president ousted in a coup. Turnout for the vote—called a key step toward steering this bloodied, impoverished nation away from collapse—all but Overwhelmed electoral officials. At dawn, when the 800 polling stations were supposed to open, it immediately became apparent the day would not go smoothly. In the upscale Petionville suburb of the capi-

tal, members of a crowd of thousands of voters stormed a voting station. Several women fainted. Polls closed by late Tuesday—nearly four hours later than scheduled—said Stephane Lacroix, a spokesperson for Haiti’s elections commission. “The people have voted massively,” said Juan Gabriel Valdes, a U.N. special envoy. Government officials sought to maintain calm, assuring Haitians that everyone would have a chance to vote. By mid-aftemoon, the process appeared more orderly. U.N. troops deployed in force to calm crowds.

Ten thousand

mourners—including four U.S. presidents, numerous members ofCongress and many gray-haired veterans of the civil rights movement —said goodbye to Coretta Scott King Tuesday, with President George W. Bush saluting her as “a woman who worked to make our nation whole.” The immense crowd filled the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church—a modem, arena-style megachurch in a suburban Atlanta county that was once a stronghold ofthe Ku Klux Klan but today has one of the most

affluent black populations in the country. More than three dozen speakers at the funeral took turns remembering the widow of the Rev. MartinLuther King Jr., who worked to realize her husband’s dream of equality for nearly 40 years after his assassination. She died Jan. 30 at age 78 after battling ovarian cancer and the effects of a stroke. The president ordered flags flown at half-staff across the country. “Coretta Scott King not only secured her husband’s legacy, she built her own,” Bush told the crowd. “Having loved a leader, she became a leader, and when she spoke, Americans listened closely.”

Former President Clinton urged mourners to follow in her footsteps, honor her husband’s sacrifice and help the couple’s children fulfill their parents’ legacy. Former President Geroge H. W. Bush said the “world is a kinder and gentler place because of Coretta Scott King.” Former President Jimmy Carter praised the Kings for their ability to “wage a fierce struggle for freedom and justice and to do it peacefully.” The funeral at times turned political, with some speakers decrying the war in Iraq, the Bush administration’s eavesdropping program, and the sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina in mosdy black New Orleans.

Crazies enjoy road game at home AKA returns, plans for new

Rob Copeland THE CHRONICLE

Cameron Indoor Stadium was full of its requisite Crazies for Tuesday’s men’s basketball game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The marching band blared; the cheerleaders danced; and hoards of rowdy students chanted “go to hell Carolina, go to hell!” The only catch was that the game was being played several miles away at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill. Thanks to a collaboration between Campus Council, the Inferno and the Duke Alumni .Association, more than 500 students were able to watch the game on two projection screens while sitting in the stands of the Duke’s fabled basketball arena. The event, called “Hoop Rush,” marked the first time all three groups came together to make the event a success, said Jay Ganatra, Campus Council president. “The idea was brought to us by the Alumni Association,” Ganatra explained, adding that the association picked up the tab for all the expenses. “They wanted to use our programming expertise.” Although the game dominated the fans’ attention on the 147-square-foot screens, it was not the only attraction in Cameron. At almost every commercial break during the first half, Ganatra raffled an eclectic mix of prizes, ranging from autographed Duke memorabilia to 10 Domino’s pizzas. One crowd favorite—basketball aside—was the halftime chicken nugget eating contest. Contestants had five minutes to eat a bucket of 35 McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. Dipping sauce and water were available. Judges gathered around the front runner for most of the race, waiting for him to finish his meal—until he suddenly, but not altogether unexpectedly, ran for the garbage can and threw up his previous accomplishments. The crowd groaned, but freshman contestant Greg Tipton took advantage of the

raderie—not to mention for support when we fell behind—made the game come alive,” she said. The evening, however, was not without a few hiccups. The first-year rock lobster dance contest cut into the second half of the game, and an announcement of a canned food drive during the heat of the second half brought the crowd together in a chorus of boos. Still, the evening was an overall success, Ganatra said. He noted that if Duke makes it to the NCAA Final Four this March, Campus Council will put together a similar event. “Next year, we’re going to try to make [the event] a tradition,” he said.

Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, which stopped accepting new members nationally after two pledges in one ofits California chapters drowned three years ago, has begun recruiting its first new class at Duke since 2002. Although the Duke undergraduate chapter has technically been active since Fall 2003, there are no active undergraduate members at the University today. This year marks its first opportunity to gain new members. AKA has received preliminary approval to begin its recruitment, known as “intake,” confirmed senior Brandi Stewart, president of the National Panhellenic Council at Duke. “We expect them to be back sometime this spring,” she said. Stewart added that, in contrast to the 10 Panhellenic Association sororities, African-American sororities do not accept freshmen. , The sorority will be on a trial period for an undetermined amount of time, Stewart noted. The tragic incident in California was not indicative of the values or nature of the mother organization or the Duke chapter, maintained AKA Regional Director Caroline Lattimore. According to a lawsuit filed by one of the women’s surviving family members, the two women were killed when they were “blindfolded and tied by their hands and their bodies and led into the rip tide conditions of the ocean.” The nation’s oldest African-American sorority, AKA has denied any wrongdoing, and the case was recently settled out of court without the organization admitting any liability.

Trying to kick the butts? Researchers from Duke’s Center for Nicotine and Smoking Cessation Research have found that smokers who use a nicotine patch for two weeks prior to quitting are less likely to suffer a relapse. The researchers’ resulting study, three years in the making, was published last week in the Journal of Nicotine and Tobacco Research. From its inception, the study was designed to determine if an added source of nicotine during the process of quitting smoking could alleviate die symptoms of withdrawal, thereby easing the change for smokers who try to kick the habit. Although the CNSCR only came into official existence two years ago, the team has been involved in the field for decades. They are led by Jed Rose, a research professor of biological psychiatry. Even before they came to Duke from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1989,

Rose and his team were investigating the combined effects of smoking and a nicotine patch. “It’s been part of our ongoing research program for many, many years,” he said. During his time at UCLA, Rose played a leading role in the development of the original nicotine patch. In the recently published study, each of the 96 participants received one of his patches—half of which were genuine and half of which were placebos. For two weeks, the subjects simultaneously wore their patches and smoked. At the two-week mark, all smoking ceased. Four weeks after the experiment began, half of the subjects who had received the real patch continued to abstain from smoking, compared to only 23 percent of the placebo group. The improved success rate persisted even when all other differences between the participants were taken into account, Rose explained. “Regardless of what people smoke, starting the nicotine patch early is helping,” he said.

similarities among species Wenjia Zhang THE CHRONICLE

Although this is true, I believe it is completely trivial,” he noted.

Humans may have more in common with animals than they think—and Simon Conway Morris wants to explain why. Students, faculty and visitors gathered in Love Auditorium in the Levine Science Research Center Wednesday night to hear Morris, professor of earth sciences at the University of Cambridge, offer his views on these related questions. In the fourth installment of the Provost’s Lecture Series “Science, Religion and Evolution,” Morris discussed the theory of convergence, which states that species eventually evolve to attain the same characteristics. Morris asserted that historical events, such as dramatic ‘climate change, alone do not account for the evolution of species. For instance, Morris said, many believe a meteoroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, and if it had not, humans would not exist today.

Morris said scientists have approached the topic ofevolution with too much focus on the past. I think the existing explanation is ludicrous,” he said. “We have barely scratched the surface.” Among other topics, Morris discussed the different cognitive senses used by animals to form neurological images to demonstrate similarities in how species change over time. Earthworms use their visual senses, moles appear to utilize their noses as an eye, elephant fish detect their surroundings using electrical currents and dolphins rely on echoes, Morris said. He drew upon these examples and others to demonstrate that animals all use senses to adapt to their surroundings. “What is referred to as seeing is actually SEE EVOLUTION ON PAGE 9

DEAN

GOODWIN from page 1 academic experience at Duke. “I realized I should be a history major.” The Louisiana native has also effectively integrated his roots into several of his other endeavors. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Goodwin—who is also the executive vice president of Duke Student Government worked with the DukeCard office to create a website that raised $9,000 in student donations of food points and FLEX dollars to the Red Cross. He is also currently writing an honors senior history thesis on the 1948 Dixiecrat Party. He plans on maintaining his Southern connections after graduation. Despite applying to law schools across the country, he sees himself eventually starting a career back home. “There’s something exciting about the opportunity to return to Louisiana, live in New Orleans, and give back to my home state,” Goodwin said. “The idea of maintaining my goals in the South is important to me.” Those who have worked with Goodwin said they admire this clear sense of direction. As President ofBench and Bar, the University’s undergraduate pre-law society, Goodwin has worked with Gerald Wilson, senior associate dean of Trinity College and pre-law advisor, since last spring. “He has a real sense of vision—of what should be doneand needs to be done, and he does it,” Wilson said. “I do think very highly of him and his organizational ability and his thoroughness and willingness to follow through.” Goodwin has shown this sense of vision in creating the platform for his candidacy to become Young Trustee. With a focus on academics, Goodwin has constructed a three-part approach, which he has entitled the “Three P’s.” The first component, which he calls “Professionalism,” involves creating a departmentalized application process so that each student can follow a well-defined undergraduate path to his or her career goals. He also wants to strengthen ties between undergraduate and graduate students. Through the second part, which Good-

win labels “Pre-Frosh,” he plans on working to instate programs through which undergraduates can influence younger students across America. “We can carve a place in American high school communities and abroad,” Goodwin said. Among his ideas for realizing the third component, which he refers to as “Pre-eminent Programs,” Goodwin envisions establishing better connections between engineering students and professionals in the Research Triangle and developing a strong architecture program. In implementing these goals, Goodwin hopes to utilize his involvement with a wide range of student organizations. An active member of DSG since 2002, he is also a member of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and the Interfraternity Council. “I have been able to do all kinds of things at Duke,” Goodwin said. “I understand the direction that Duke is going

and what I specifically would be able to see strengthened through the Board of Trustees.” Deborah Hackney, senior program coordinator of student activities and advisor to DSG, has known Goodwin since she began working at the University last spring. She said his ties to so many student groups would make him a wellrounded Young Trustee. “Brandon is certainly very conscientious about including different constituents in what he’s doing,” Hackney said. “He’s just one of those people who wants to be sure that if there’s an issue going on, he hears all sides of it.” If elected Young Trustee, Goodwin hopes to continue this trend. “The role of the Young Trustee is someone who is proactive,” he said. “It’s important that the Young Trustee has lines of communication with students, faculty and staff.”

Dawkins said he will evaluate the state of the department with the new appointments and look broadly at security needs on campus in the coming months. Graves said Dean expects to become recertified as a police officer-soon and that his short-livedretirement poses no other logis,tical problems. Dean views his hiatus positively. “I have a pretty good working knowledge of the University, and when I returned I was able to hit the ground running,” he said. “It was almost as if I had been on vacation.” University officials also said they view Dean’s previous 41-year career at Duke as a valuable asset to the department. “It’s, tough to find someone who can understand all the aspects with the depth [Dean] has and the experience he has at Duke,” said Leanora Minai, senior communications strategist for communications services. Dean is taking the place of Clarence Birkhead, former director and chief of DUPD, who stepped down in July to take the police chief position in Hillsborough, N.C.

Progress Energy is considering building a nuclear reactor in Wake County, N.C.

ENERGY from page 5 experts have grappled with during the past few decades. In 1978, the U.S. Department ofEnergy identified Yucca Mountain, Nev. —located approximately 100 miles northwest ofLas Vegas—as a possible site for the country’s first nuclear waste repository. Christensen, who also served on the United States Nuclear Waste Technological Review Board for eight years, added that although nuclear technology will greatly reduce carbon emissions, thus making it an alternative to burning fossil fuels, there are still other alternatives to consider. “We as a society haven’t looked closely enough at increasing conservation,” he said. “By putting [nuclear power] on the table, it doesn’t mean that we should stop thinking about how to conserve energy.” Christensen added that he prefers solar and wind power as alternatives to fossil fuels because they have the “possibility of being more environmentally friendly.” But Lincoln Pratson, director of the Energy and Environment Program at the

EVOLUTION

Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, said wind power is not a viable option for Progress Energy right now. “The issue Progress is dealing with is being a reliable source of energy, and the demand is higher now because the population is growing in the Southeast,” he said. “They have to go for what’s most cost efficient and reliable, and that’s why nuclear power is the most attractive right now,” Pratson added. Pratson added that wind power is intermittent and not feasible for the company since there is currently “no efficient way of storing electricity.” Should Progress Energy proceed with its plans to construct the reactor at the Shearon Harris plant, the company will file an application in late 2007 with the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission—a federal agency that oversees all .of the nation’s nuclear plants—said Keith Poston, director of media relations for Progress Energy. Until then, the company plans to make presentations to and receive feedback from the community, Poston said. ture, Morris said.

Election authorities said the problems were largeto Port-au-Prince. By early afternoon, all limited ly polls across this country of 8.3 million were open, said U.N. spokesperson David Wimhurst. Most voters waited in lines for hours at polling stations in the capital of the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation, but some angrily roamed the streets, fuming at being turned away because of a myriad of problems. “If these elections are not fair and if the person whom the population wants doesn’t win, houses will burn and heads will be cut off,” said Jean Pierre, an unemployed 33-year-old man who would not give his last name. The words recalled the battle cry of army Gen. JeauJacques Dessalines, who led a bloody rebellion against French troops and colonists in 1802: “Cut off their heads and bum their houses.” The stakes are huge—more than simply who will lead the country and who will occupy seats in parliament. Haiti, which has seen only one president complete his term in office, could implode if the elections go wrong, experts say. In the aftermath of a February 2004 rebellion that toppled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, gangs have gone on a kidnapping spree and the country’s few factories are.dpsing because of security problems and a lack of foreign investment. U.S. officials have warned that a collapse could trigger another wave of Haitians migradng aboard boats to the United States. That occurred in 1994, prompting Washington to send troops to Haiti to restore Aristide to power, three years after he fell to a military coup. In the northern town of Gros Morne, a Haitian policeman shot and killed a man in line at a polling station, Wimhurst said. A mob then killed the police officer, he said. There were two other reported deaths in polling stations in the capital—two elderly men who collapsed while waiting in line. Preval—who has the backing of many supporters of Aristide—said if he wins, Haitians must recognize their country is in dire straits and should not set their expectations too high.

REDICK TO THE RESCUE Superstar guard helps Duke overcome collapse by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL JJ. Redick had just rescued Duke from what was nearly a devastating collapse at the hands of North Carolina Tuesday night. The senior guard had scored 35 points, including two clutch three-pointers in the final two minutes that allowed the Blue Devils to game escape from a game they could have—analysis and perhaps should have—lost. But walking off the court at the Dean Smith Center, Redick was still reeling from the mistakes that nearly cost Duke down the stretch. With Tar Heel fans still heckling him, an exhausted Redick clapped his hands together and screamed at himself while exiting. Minutes later, celebration sounds emanated from the Duke locker room after the 87-83 victory. Redick, however, was pragmatic in his assessment of the Blue Devils’ victory—he said he was happy with a win in his final game in Chapel Hill but disappointed with some aspects of his own late-game execution.

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL Duke fans have been waiting all season for the highly-touted freshman duo of Josh Mcßoberts and Greg Paulus to live up to its billing and make the difference in a big game. Paulus and Mcßoberts did just that against North Carolina Tuesday night. Mcßoberts scored a career-high 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting and Paulus took charge ofDuke’s offense late, giving JJ. Redick just enough help to push the Blue Devils to victory. “It looked like sometimes that Josh was the coolest guy out there,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We needed Greg to be that court leader.

McNally brings by

new

mindset to condensed roster it

John Taddei

THE CHRONICLE

On the eve of his first season as head coach of the Duke baseball team, Sean McNally has already sent a clear message to his players—things will be different this year. After finishing a disappointing 14-39 in 2005, the final year of head coach Bill former season Hillier’s six-year tenure, preview Duke enters the 2006 season with a new look and a new mindset, both of which have stemmed from its new coach. If any of the Blue Devils doubted McNally’s intention to cut players he felt were not showing adequate effort during off-season workouts, they were wrong. McNally commented this past fall that every one ofhis players had a “clean slate” after Duke’s sixth straight losing season and that each would have to earn his spot on this year’s squad. In addition to the four seniors that graduated, 11 players with remaining eligibility after the 2005 season are no longer listed on the Blue Devil roster. Among these players were JJ. Koterba, Eric Baumann, John Berger and Cody Wheeler—all of whom started at least 20 games last year—as well as former starting pitcher David Torcise. McNally declined to discuss how many of the players were cut and how many decided not to return, but did indicate that some were not invited to rejoin the team for the 2006 season. “I think the guys we have really appreciate and have a lot of pride in wearing the jersey and representing Duke—they’ve

Adam Murray and Brett Bartles are two ofDuke's returning players trying to turn around thebaseball program. worked very hard for that, they don’t feel that they’re entitled to it,” McNally said. “These are the guys that we felt that would best represent our program this year.” The dugout will be noticeably less crowded than last year when the Blue Devils take the field today against High Point at 3 p.m. at Jack Coombs Field for their season opener. Duke’s roster, which consisted of 33 players last season, now features only 24—-the smallest roster in

the ACC by six players, Junior Jonathan Anderson said with such a small roster, injuries could be a concern. Anderson added that the Blue Devils are short at a number of positions, especially in the outfield where Duke’s roster currently lists only four players. McNally, however, said although he would like to have more depth, he feels the team has enough players with experience at multiple positions that he does not expect

be a concern “We’ve come through the preseason period healthy and feel good about that,” McNally said. “We have enough flexibility that we can make some adjustments if we have some injuries.” Anderson, one of just three remaining juniors from a class that was seven deep last year, said McNally’s changes have served as a wake-up call for a team that has limped through seven straight losing seasons. He added that the new roster stands as evidence of the coach’s determination to make the changes he feels are necessary for Duke to succeed. “It definitely was a shock to me and sent a very deep message to me because a lot of the guys that aren’t here are from my class and I was kind of sad to see them go,” Anderson said. “It definitely lights a fire under you and everybody because you see that you have to do well. You have to perform in order to be on this team and to earn the Duke uniform.” Anderson said McNally made the changes in order to mold the Blue Devils into a more cohesive unit that would be more receptive to the hard work ethic and system he has been trying to impress upon his players. “He just wanted us to be more of a team,” Anderson said. “He wanted us to focus on having exactly what we needed. Not to say that there were any bad guys on the team from last year, I think he wanted his guys to play the game the right way and do things in the way he wanted them done—going to class every day, showing up to practice every day, playing as hard as you can.” to

UNC from page 1 over point guard Greg Paulus’ head and out of bounds on what appeared to be a communication error between the two players. Tar Heel point guard Bobby Frasor then quickly scored on a floater in the lane to make the score 84-83 with 33 ticks left. On Duke’s next possession, Paulus was trapped in the backcourt as he attempted to break the Tar Heels’ full-court pressure and was forced to call a timeout. After the stoppage, Mcßoberts inbounded to Redick, who had the ball knocked out of his hands. UNC freshman Marcus Ginyard tried to save the ball from going out of bounds, but it went straight to Paulus, who was fouled. The freshman point guard calmly made his two free throws in front of the crazed sellout crowd, giving the Blue Devils a threepoint advantage with 18.5 seconds to play.

On the Tar Heels’ ensuing possession, freshman Danny Green passed up an open look at a three-pointer that would have ded it and inexplicably chose to drive the ball to the basket. He missed the shot, and Shelden Williams’ rebound sealed the win. ‘You play five more minutes, they may beat us,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s the kind of game it was.” It was close at the end, but at the beginning of the second half, the Blue Devils looked ready to run away with the game. Duke scored 12 points on 5-for-6 shooting before North Carolina even attempted a second-half shot. Freshman forward Josh Mcßoberts, playing with two fouls, nailed a three-pointer and threw down a highlightreel reverse alley-oop during the spurt. With 16:52 to play, Mcßoberts picked up his third foul, and during the stoppage, Tar Heel head coach Roy Williams subbed out all five of his starters. “I didn’t care [how well it worked],” Williams said. “I was so mad at [the starters], I just wanted to do something so I wasn’t charged with assault. We could’ve lost by 5,000 and it wouldn’t have made any difference—l was keeping them in there for a while. If you are going to play for us, you are going to compete.” The reserves came in and immediately made a difference. With Williams hollering at his starting team on the bench, Quentin Thomas scored the Tar Heels’ first points of the half on a drive to the basket. Shelden Williams converted on Duke’s next trip down the court, but the Blue Devils would not score again for nearly five minutes. During that time, North Carolina clawed its way back into the game, grabbing four offensive rebounds and scoring 12 points to cut Duke’s lead to five, 54-49. The Tar Heels’ dominance on the offensive glass hurt Duke all night. They outrebounded the Blue Devils, 45-26, and grabbed

The Tar Heels answered back with a two-pointer by Frasor before Redick’s three-pointer and transition layup pushed the Blue Devils’ lead back to 10. But North Carolina responded with a 10-0 run, eventually tying the game at 61 on a three-pointer by Thomas. Another three-pointer, this one by Noel, gave the Tar Heels a 64-63 advantage, their first lead

NOTES: Redick’s 35 points were the most ever by a Duke player in a game at North Carolina. Bob Verga and Johnny Dawkins shared the previous record with 34 points.... Redick passed Gonzaga’s Adam Morrison as the nation’s leading scorer. He improved his average to 28.4 points per game, slightly ahead of Morrison.... Redick has now scored 2,459 career points, just one point behind the Blue Devils’ Christian Laettner for second place in Blue Devil history....

Coming into the game, Tar Heel Tyler

Hansbrough was considered the shoe-in for ACC Freshman of the Year. He will still likely win the award, but Mcßoberts got the best of Hansbrough during last night’s game. Just two minutes after the opening tip, Paulus took advantage of two UNC defenders focusing their attention on JJ. Redick when he hit a wide-open Mcßoberts under the hoop for an easy two-handed jam. During Duke’s run early in the second half, Sean Dockery tossed an alley-oop pass to Mcßoberts who was cutting baseline. Mcßoberts caught the pass in the air and slammed home a reverse jam. “Josh was huge today,” Redick said. “He’s capable of doing that all the time, Tie’s really talented. It’s awesome to see for a freshman to step up like that in a game like this.” Mcßoberts provided more than just highlight plays, though. Despite playing most of the second half in foul trouble, Mcßoberts managed to play good defense and rebound when it was important. Mcßoberts reeled in Hansbrough’s second-straight missed free throw with 1:36 to go and was fouled by the UNC phenom while fighting for the ball. Mcßoberts, who has struggled with his foul-shooting all season, stepped to the line and nailed both attempts. His shots put Duke ahead 81-75. Paulus, who turned the ball over several times early in the game, earned his chance

game slip-up and North Carolina turning a 17-point Duke lead into a five-point Tar Heel margin over the course of 12 minutes in the second half. There were other contributions—including Paulus and Mcßoberts’ key free throws in the final two minutes—but Redick was the primary reason Duke won the tough game in rival territory. Once again, Redick showed how important it is to have an extremely talented senior who craves the opportunity to take big shots. Besides just the two threepointers in the final two minutes, the senior was instrumental in bringing Duke back from its biggest deficit, down 71-66 with 4:33 to go. He nailed a three over UNO’sWes Miller on the Blue Devils’ next possession, and swished two free throws with 3:37 left to tie the game at 71. A heavily-guarded Redick also dished the ball to Sean Dockery in the comer with less than three minutes remaining, allowing his fellow senior to knock down a crucial long-range jumper. Leading Duke like that almost seems like the norm now for the nation’s best player. Even so, the fact that Redick and the Blue Devils almost let the Tar Heels complete an improbable comeback should worry Duke. Against Florida State and Boston College last week, the Blue Devils turned the ball over in similar situations during the final minute of regulation. Those two, and Redick’s errant pass to Paulus against North Carolina, do not exemplify the type of late-game savvy necessary to win come tournament time. “It’s tough to even describe because the last three games we’ve been in situations like that and we’ve pulled through,” Redick said. “We’ve shown enough resiliency, made enough plays or maybe one or two free throws just to pull it out.” Redick should be applauded for his maturity and leadership in realizing how close Duke came to losing. This matchup’s outcome will not mean a great deal as the Blue Devils attempt to win their fourth national championship. But the faulty ball-handling down the stretch will. If Duke cannot clean up its final-minute execution, there may very well come a time when Redick’s late threes do not fall and the team is sent home empty-handed. go to the line a minute later with Duke up just one. He showed no signs of nervousness and iced both. “I missed an opportunity against BC,” Paulus said of his performance during the Feb. 1 game in Chestnut Hill, Mass. “I went l-for-4 down the stretch [on free throws]. It was a good opportunity for me to redeem myself.” to

The case for CAPS

The

quality of care extended to students through Counseling and Psychological Services at Duke recently has been called into question by some on campus. Recognizing that confidentiality and students’ right to privacy prevent or inhibit most from talkkathy Hollingsworth ing openly about guest column their posilive experiences with CAPS, we feel obligated to share facts vital to a complete, balanced and accurate understanding of the care students receive. The truth is most students who use CAPS services report having a very positive experience. Twice annually, students in our care evaluate our services. For the past five years, they rated them as quite to extremely satisfactory (6.2 overall on a seven-point scale). This past semester, our clinical support staff received the highest evaluations to date—a 6.6 score. Similar results are seen in the pre-and post-test assessments of “treatment outcomes” for CAPS clients. The vast majority of our clients showed improvements that were statistically significant, with

symptoms reduced substantially follow-

ing counseling. Student interaction with CAPS isn’t limited to office visits. Last year our outreach programs reached more than 9,200 participants, totaling more than 21,500 “contact hours.” They included peer education programs, such as through RAs or with other Student Affairs units. Duke considers mental health issues a top priority—in part because it, like universities across the country, is facing a growing demand for services on issues ranging from stress and anxiety to eating disorders. CAPS, which provides both crisis intervention and time-limited services, continues to provide more services to more students with more serious concerns. In fact, at Duke the demand has increased by a third over the past five years. CAPS has responded by making organizational changes to ensure we’re available to all students who might need our services. That’s our commitment. As with all health agencies, students may experience a short wait prior to a first appointment. However, if they tell our front desk staff that their concern is urgent, they will get to speak to a staff consultant the same day. Last year, the maximum wait time for a student to see a CAPS therapist after an

initial assessment meeting was two weeks. Students with emergency needs always receive immediate treatment through CAPS or within the greater community. We work with students to provide treatment that works for them. If their needs are extensive or require long-term therapy, we may refer them to a specialist in the local community. Our psychiatrists only prescribe medications after fully evaluating a student’s needs, and prescriptions are never issued without a follow-up plan. Our staff always discusses symptoms, possible side effects of medication and non-medication treatment options. When students need ongoing care, we help arrange for it. This care involves thousands of personal interactions. As some students have noted, the “match” doesn’t always work between a student and someone on our clinical staff, which has diverse backgrounds, theoretical orientations and areas of specialization. If students feel after an initial appointment that they’d prefer a different therapist, they can discuss this with their “intake counselor.” Our goal is the same as theirs. We want the process to work for them. This is my first year leading CAPS at Duke. When I was recruited from North-

western University, I was impressed by how seriously the leadership of Student Affairs and the university is thinking about mental health issues facing students. Since I arrived last summer, we’ve embarked together on a strategic planning process and have begun increasing our resources and expanding our facilities. GAPS recently completed some initial space renovations and will address other facilities challenges as funds allow. In addition, we are working on increasing our clinical resources for both individual and group therapy, and we are expanding our approach to developmental programming. We welcome the attention that has been given to this issue by students and others, since it affects so many Duke students in challenging ways. I am glad to speak with any student, individually or in groups, about their concerns. We don’t want anyone feeling reluctant to seek treatment due to myths or misunderstandings. If you are a student and think you need help, I want you to know; We’re here for you.

Kathy Hollingsworth, Ph.D., is the executive director of Counseling and Psychological Services.

Unpatriotic dissent

Dissent

is not necessarily patriotic. It can be. But it can also be treasonous. It depends entirely upon the nature and content of one’s dissention. To dissent is no more unequivocally patriotic than to place someone under citizen’s arrest is unequivocally justified. Dissent is a tool, and you are accountable for how you use it. Place someone under false arrest and you’re a kidnapper. Support America’s enemies and you are considered a traitor. Yet many of those most Stephen miller radical critics of the Unitmiller time ed States will insist they are simply fulfilling their patriotic duty. But how far does this logic go? Is a spy giving American military secrets to foreign governments simply fulfilling a patriotic duty? What if the spy earnestly believes that America is an evil nation and what he is doing is for the best? That the dissenter believes in what he is doing is not enough. A dissenter’s actions must be guided by a love for this country and its citizens in order to be considered patriotic. But there is a second qualification. Even if a dissenter’s actions are guided by a love for America, if the true result of that dissent is ultimately harmful and destructive to this nation then such dissent, however wellintentioned, clearly falls under the category of unpatriotic dissent. Some might wish to be able to attack and assault and accuse with moral impunity, seeking refuge in platitudes about the great democratic tradition of dissent, but this

noble tradition does not shield them from culpability. If they actively pursue ends that harm this nation, the fact that they are engaging in a great American practice does not make them great Americans. Free speech, which encompasses the right of dissent, is a sacred American right, but no sane person would argue that any exercise of free speech is a patriotic act. The evaluation is contingent upon what is said So why, then, are we as a society afraid to condemn the dissent of others when it falls far outside acceptable bounds? Why is it so politically incorrect to question people’s patriotism no matter how heinous their libeling of America becomes? Such individuals are still entided to the full protections of the law and the complete security of their constitutional rights. But they are not entitled to our respect, and they are not entitled to be considered patriots. The right of free speech is in no way, shape or form meant to protect people from moral judgment. When Ted Kennedy gets up and says on an international stage that “shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management—U.S. management,”, he is not exercising the dissent of a patriot but that of a traitor. It’s of course true that such egregious comments are not legally treasonous, but when you lie about your country, slander the troops serving overseas and compare our military with that of one of the world’s worst dictators, you have betrayed your nation and are morally guilty of treason. When Cindy Sheehan calls the same Iraqi terrorists that slew her son “freedom fighters” and argues that George W. Bush is “ten times worse than Osama Bin Laden,” she’s not engaged in morally defensible dissent. She’s supporting our enemies and lying about the true nature of our country’s military activities. Not once has

Bush ever deliberately targeted innocent civilians. It is impossible to validly argue that Bush is a terrorist. Sheehan’s rants qualify as unpatriotic dissent of the worst kind. Islamic terrorists have declared holy war on the United States. They have declared a death sentence on every man, woman and child living in this country. They are actively seeking, with the assistance of radical Muslim despots, weapons that would permit them to execute hundreds of thousands ofAmericans in a single attack. America, under the leadership of George W. Bush, is doing its best to protect its citizens, defeat its enemies and prevent the unthinkable from occurring. There are profound political forces within and without the United Sates that would like to see us stand down, concede defeat to Zarqawi in Iraq and cease the post 9/11 strategy that has kept the terrorists on the defensive and prevented a second attack inside our borders. Every American has the right to support a policy of retreat and capitulation, and, as so many leftists do, they also have right to lie and slander the country and the president to further this agenda. All Americans—Duke students among them—who have compared Bush with Hider, falsely accused our army of some of the worst human rights violations in history, against all evidence claimed Iraq was a war for oil and praised or supported the motivations or activities of the terrorists in Iraq or elsewhere are in fact dissenting in a legal and protected fashion. But this legal protection cannot shield their hands from the possibility of someday being stained with the blood of the innocent Americans whose country they betrayed.
