Erwin to enforce subletting policy Mingyang Liu THE CHRONICLE

juniors hoping to take over Erwin Square apartments from fellow greek community members will have to go through a new process for next school year. A recent notice given to current tenants of the apartments states that the management of the apartment complex will begin to enforce a policy that prohibits tenants from passing

down or subletting their units. Despite rumors circulating among students, the management company has not changed its policies. The notice, which residents said came unexpectedly, was an announcement of stricter enforcement of the existing subletting rules. “A few people were allowed to do it, and it got to a point where all the students were doing it,” said Sandra Masters, the property man-

ager of Erwin Apartments. “The students kind of took it on themselves, and it just got out of hand.” From now on, current residents of Erwin—along with all of their furniture and belongings—will have to move out of their apartments at the end of their leases in order for management officials to perform inspections and to estimate the cost of damages.

Michael Eric Dyson, an acclaimed author of black social literature and professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, spoke in Page Auditorium Sunday about the plight of the black residents of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Dyson’s speech, titled “Come Hell or High Water: Race Relations After Katrina,” focused on racial stratification in the areas devastated by the hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in late August 2005. The event was sponsored by the Black Student Alliance as a part its Black History Month program. “New Orleans represents such a unique slice ofAmerica because it is, as its mayor suggests, ‘chocolate,’” Dyson said, referring to New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin’s widely criticized public comment on his wish to rebuild a “chocolate” New Orleans. “New Orleans was 67.9 percent black. I don’t know about you, but I think that is pretty chocolate.” Dyson also discussed the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the Big Easy’s demography. “Now New Orleans is smaller, richer and whiter,”

Dyson said. “The batde over New Orleans is not about geography. It is about the geography of race.” Dyson continued on to discuss how the the “vanilla” suburbs of New Orleans—wealthier, white predominately residential areas —were on elevated ground and not as severely damaged by the hurricane as

lower-lying areas. He referred

Shelden Williams was forced to the bench with foul trouble in the first half, but scored 15 points in the second.

But unlike the Blue Devils’ game against North Carolina Feb. 7, Duke (23-1, 11-0 in the ACC) did not relent and never allowed Maryland (15-8, 5-5) to make a run on its way to a 96-88 victory Saturday afternoon at the Comcast Center. “We beat a team that played winning basketball today,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We kept them like three possessions away.”

With Shelden Williams and Josh Mcßoberts on the bench with two fouls for the final 4:49 of the first half, Maryland whittledDuke’s 12-point lead down to just four at the break. Both players started the second half, and Duke responded. JJ- Redick picked off a Maryland pass and pulled up for a three-pointer from the wing to start the run, during which Duke outscored the Terrapins 11-4. Freshman Greg Paulus also drove for an easy layup and hit Williams twice down low for open buckets. From there, Duke simply hung on to its lead. The Blue Devils’ biggest lead was 14, and the closest Maryland got was seven—on two occasions with less than a minute left.

Cheney involved in hunting mishap by Lynn Brezosk THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with

shotgun pellets. Harry Whittington, a millionaire attor-

ney from Austin, was in stable condition in the intensive care unit of a Corpus Christi

hospital Sunday.

“He is stable and doing well. It was alspending time with me in my living room,” said hospital administrator Peter Banko, who visited Whittington. most like he was

Banko said Whittington was in the intensive care unit because his condition warranted it, but he didn’t elaborate. Whittington sent word through a hospital official that he would have no comment on the incident out of respect for Cheney. The accident occurred Saturday at a ranch in south Texas where the vice president and several companions were hunting quail. It was not reported publicly by the vice president’s office for nearly 24 hours, and then only after it was reported locally by the Corpus Christ! Caller-Times on its Web site Sunday. Katharine Armstrong, the ranch’s owner, said Sunday that Cheney was using

a 28-gauge shotgun and that Whittington was about 30 yards away when he was hit in the cheek, neck and chest. Each of the hunters was wearing a bright orange vest at the time, Armstrong told reporters at the ranch about 60 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. She said Whittington was “alert and doing fine.” Armstrong told The Associated Press that emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to Whittington before an ambulance—routinely on call because of the vice president’s presence—took him to a hospital in Kingsville.

Storm brings snow delays, records by

Karen Matthews

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK A record-breaking buried sections of the Northeast under more than 2 feet of snow on Sunday, frustrating thousands of marooned travelers but enthralling winter-lovers who took to the streets with cross-country skis and snowshoes. The timing of the storm helped transportation workers who plowed streets in relatively light weekend traffic and expected to have roadways ready for Monday’s rush hour. All three of the major NewYork-area airstorm

ports were closed for much of the day, and airlines canceled more than 500 inbound and departing flights—200 each at LaGuardia and Newark airports and 120 at Kennedy. By Sunday evening, Newark and Kennedy reopened with limited service. The storm came on the heels of an unusually mild January that had people

shedding jackets.

“It’s sort of crazy because it was so warm a couple of weeks ago and now we have knee-deep snow,” said Skye Drynan, walking her dogs Bella and Forest in Manhattan. Winds gusted up to 60 mph and in a rare display of lightning lit up the falling

snow before dawn in the New York and Philadelphia areas, producing muffled winter thunder. The National Weather Service said 26.9 inches of snow fell in Central Park, the most for a single storm since record-keeping started in 1869. The old record was 26.4 inches in December 1947. “We might not see anything like this again in our lifetime,” Jason Rosenfarb said as he walked with his 5-year-old daughter Haley in Central Park. Just then Haley jumped head first into the snow and said:

Organizers said they extended the Graduate Speed Dating event—held annually for the past five years—to undergraduates in hopes of raising more money. “We heard there was a market for [undergraduates],” said Emily Wei, a first-year public policy studies graduate student. “This is our first event, and we’re trying to make it just more of a fun event.” Participants filled out surveys to indicate 10 personality traits from a list of 32 that best represent

themselves and their ideal dates. The results were then entered into the “Love Machine”—a laptop programmed to set up each individual with eight potential matches, said Mattia Landoni, a first-year public policy graduate student. Two women sat at each of the 17 tables decorated with candles and balloons for the entire two-hour event, while the men moved about the tables to join their dates. At the end of the eight dates, each student filled out papers indicating their preferences for each of their suitors and turned them in on the way out. SEE SPEED DATING ON PAGE 9

THE CHRONICLE

Every Friday night starting at 6 p.m., a diverse and energetic crowd of graduate students socialize and relax at Fuqua Fridays, a weekly event held at the Fuqua School of Business’ Fox Student Center. Supplied with free food and beer, between 200 and 300 MBA students and professors kick back and chat outside of the classroom. Several participants even bring their families. While some students describe Fuqua Fridays as a place to figure out their weekend plans or as a long happy hour, others find it to be an opportunity to meet their friends’ families and children. The event’s atmosphere was “probably one of the things that brought [my family] to Fuqua,” said Matt Mulry, a first-year MBA student. “The Fuqua family organization is very strong.” The event usually has a different

theme every week. Last Friday was a mixer with the School ofLaw that gave both schools’ students a chance to interact and network with each other. Past themes have included casino night, international pot luck, sports game night and the annual favorite—Halloween Party. A silent auction is in the works for Feb. 24. “I don’t think that you find this kind of atmosphere at other schools where people kick back, mingle and you’re guaranteed to meet somebody new every night,” Mulry said. Because ofFuqua’s diverse student population, the weekly event draws people together from different countries and academic backgrounds. Students from countries such as India, China, Russia and Australia with a myriad of accents mingle over drinks, and people SEE

It has all the makings of a blockbuster hit—adventure, a charismatic protagonist and picturesque scenery. But the star of this saga is freshman John Malcovitch rather than the Hollywood legend with a similar name. After his first semester at Duke in Fall 2004, Malcovitch took a leave from school and visited Japan to spend time with his family. Little did he know that the seemingly innocuous visit would turn into a solo backpacking trip across 40 countries in several continents. The experience included interacting with the homeless, reading nearly 50 books and suffering from a stomach bug after drinking water in India. “I actually was initially going to go straight to Beijing and fly west and go home,” Malcovitch said. Instead, he ended up staying in China for three months, practicing his linguistic skills and learning about the nation’s government and public policy system. But after exploring the country, he decided to continue his adventure by going scuba diving in Thailand. And then, rather than heading home afterward, Malkovitch chose to spend the next several months trekking through Eastern Europe. Malcovitch said his eye-opening experiences helped him realize the importance of both real-world and classroom learning. Although his choice to travel instead of stay on the four-year academic track was unusual, Malkovitch said University administrators were supportive of his decision. “I think [traveling] can be very complementary and serve to deepen and enhance learning,” said Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences and vice provost for

Malcovitch’s journey is evidence of selfmotivation and a desire for new experiences, Thompson added. “So many European and continental students take a gap year,” Malcovitch said. “It’s more of a rarity for American students.” For Malcovitch, learning from others was an important aspect of his experience. During his travels, he met fellow backpackers, students and natives in the numerous countries he visited. When the hostels were full, he rolled out his sleeping bag and slept on benches. “I slept with homeless guys, woke up and had breakfast with them,” Malcovitch said. “Lots of things I never thought I’d do otherwise.” He said these experiences broke him SEE MALCOVITCH ON PAGE 11

Terminal C at RDU undergoes major facelift by

Leslie Griffith THE CHRONICLE

Beginning in 2008, students traveling through RaleighDurham International Airport will encounter a renovated and redesigned terminal. Terminal C, until recently a stop for American Airlines, is being rebuilt and will eventually replace Terminal A as the primary terminal at the airport. The terminal will accommodate increased needs for ticketing and baggage claims, said Jill Denning, marketing communications manager for RDU. Currendy, 95 percent of RDU customers either begin or end their travel at RDU, and the existing Terminal C is not designed to handle such numbers, Denning added. The expanded capacity will result in additional flights into and out of RDU. Delta Airlines is already planning to add a new non-stop flight from Raleigh-Durham to Los Angeles International Airport, Denning said. When the new Terminal C is complete, many airlines now housed in Terminal A will switch over to C, joining airlines such as American and Air Canada that already operate there. Construction will begin soon on the north portion of the terminal, which should be functioning by 2008. The construction is expected to have “the least possible impact on RDU’s passengers,” according to the airport’s website. Most of the construction will take place during nights and weekends. Once the first phase of the project has been completed, the newly built north portion of the terminal will be opened to passengers. The second phase will involve the rebuilding of the south and central sections. “If all goes as intended, we should be done by the end of 2010,” Denning said. The project, as originally envisioned, was less ambitious than its current formulation, Denning added. “After September 11, people were flying a lot less, so our budget was fairly constrained,” Denning said. Administrators decided to cap the redevelopment at $350 million in Jan. 2003 and to renovate instead of fully replace the south section of the terminal. A recent rebound in travel has allowed RDU to replace the south section along with the north and central portions, Denning said. The cost will now be closer to $555 million, she noted. The renovated terminal will be a boon to the Triangle area, Airport Authority Chair W. Stephens Toler said. “It makes a statement about how special we believe the Research Triangle to be,” Toler said. “We worked closely with staff and Airport Authority members to make sure that the image and architecture reflect the region.” Both Denning and Toler said the new terminal will improve and enhance customer service. Denning added that the modernity of the new terminal would be especially helpful. “There’s a more intuitive layout and more security lanes, so there will be fewer line problems,” she said. Toler noted that RDU’s main focus will continue to be customer service. “We want to be known as the best airport in the world for the uncompromising quality of our service,” he said. The local economic benefit will be considerable, Toler added. Whenever possible, he said, the airport has tried to employ local contractors and minority businesses. “The airport, along with the Research Triangle Park, is one of two key economic engines in the region,” Toler said. “We want to make sure RDU holds up its end of the bargain.” Several students spoke positively of their experiences using the airport. “RDU runs better than some other airports like Washington Dulles or Baltimore. I’ve never had a problem there,” said freshman Aalok Modi, who flies into RDU from his home in Columbus, Ohio. Matt Rogers, a sophomore from New York, said he is also pleased with the quality of the airport. , “It’s the easiest airport I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot,” Rogers said. Rogers added, however, that fares out of RDU sometimes are unusually high. He hopes the expanded flight options resulting from a new, larger terminal will bring fares down.

TTA receives no funding in budget President George W. Bush’s proposed budget for 2007 does not include allocations for the Triangle Transit Authority’s plans to build a regional rail line. According to The Herald-Sun, the lack of funding was expected by TTA and N.C. officials. The Federal Transit Authority told the TTA in late 2005 that the project failed to meet cost-effectiveness standards and thus would not make the president’s budget. Republicans Richard Burr and Elizabeth Dole, North Carolina’s senators, also wrote the TTA telling it to look into other transportation options.

Lawmakers select al-Jaafari as Iraq’s PM %.

Qassim Abdul-Zahra

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Shiite lawmakers Sunday chose incumbent Ibrahim al-Jaafari to be Iraq’s new prime minister, endorsing the physician and longtime exile for a second term by a single vote-thanks in large part to support by a radical anti-U.S. faction. Al-Jaafari’s selection paves the way for the Shiite alliance to begin talks with parties representing Sunni Arabs, K«rds, secularists and others to form a broadbased government, which the U.S. hopes can calm the insurgency so American and other foreign troops can

begin leaving.

Al-Jaafari edged out Vice President Adil AbdulMahdi during the balloting, largely thanks to support from followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, the cleric whose militia has staged two uprisings against U.S. forces since 2004. Al-Jaafari, who spent years in exile in Iran and Britain, is virtually assured of the top job once the new parliament convenes and a new president is elected in the coming weeks. The constitution states that the president must appoint a prime minister from the largest bloc in parliament. Shiites won 128 of the 275 seats in the December election for Iraq’s first four-year term legislature since the 2003 fall.of Saddam Hussein. The alliance picked up two more when a small party joined after the vote. Would-be coalition partners, however, expressed disappointment at the choice of al-Jaafari, with Kurds complaining they were sidelined in the outgoing government and Sunni Arabs pointing to his alleged failure to rein in Shiite-led security services accused of abuses against Sunnis. “We have some reservations, not on the person of Dr. al-Jaafari, but on the performance of his government,” said Naseer al-Ani, a Sunni Arab politician. “We believe that his government’s performance on security and services was irresponsible.” President Jalal Talabani, a frequent critic of al-Jaafari, threatened to take his 53-seat Kurdish coalition out of the new government unless the Shiites offer a post to the secular party of ex-prime minister Ayad Allawi, whom key Shiite politicians strongly oppose. “We would have preferred a change offaces so as not to see a repeat of some of the problems,” said Mahmoud Othman, a Kurdish elder statesman. Following his selection, al-Jaafari spoke in conciliatory tones about his Shiite rivals and about the need to build an inclusive government. He promised to form a government “based on the grand interests of Iraq.” “Today’s victory is not that this one won or that one won,” al-Jaafari said. “It is a victory of the (Shiite) alliance with its unity and cool head.” Still, al-Jaafari signaled a tough stance with the Sunni Arabs. Shiite officials had insisted the Sunnis support the new constitution and join the fight against Sunniled insurgents if they want to join the coalition. “The main basis for dialogue will primarily be the constitution, respect for the constitution and its contents after the people ratified and adopted it,” al-Jaafari said. Iraqis approved the constitution in a referendum last October but many Sunni Arabs rejected it and demanded amendments on issues such as federalism and purges of former members of Saddam’s Sunnidominated party. Shiite officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said the 30 votes controlled by al-Sadr all went to al-Jaafari, enabling him to edge out Abdul-Mahdi, a leader of the main Shiite party, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, known as SCIRI In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sought to downplay the influence of al-Sadr. She told ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” that there were “many forces” behind the choice of al-Jaafari. Bahaa al-Aaraji, a senior al-Sadr official, said al-Jaafari was “efficient and able to contain problems.” SEE AL-JAAFARI ON PAGE 16

BY Hn .I .FT, Ttat .tf. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Peter Benchley, whose novel “Jaws” NEW YORK made millions think twice about stepping into the water even as the author himself became an advocate for the conservation of sharks, has died at age 65, his widow said Sunday. Wendy Benchley, married to the author for 41 years, said he died Saturday night at their home in Princeton, N J. The cause of death, she said, was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive and fatal scarring of die lungs. Thanks to Benchley’s 1974 novel, and Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster movie of die same name, die simple pastime of ocean swimming became synonymous with fatal horror, of still water followed by ominous, pumping music, then teeth and blood and panic. “Spielberg certainly made the most superb movie; Peter was very pleased,” .Wendy Benchley told The Asso-

dated Press. “But Peter kept telling people the book was fiction, it was a novel, and that he no more took responsibility for the fear of sharks than Mario Puzo took responsibility for the Mafia.” Benchley, the grandson of humorist Robert Benchley and son of author Nathaniel Benchley, was born in New York City in 1940. He attended the elite Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, then graduated from Harvard University in 1961. He worked at The Washington Post and Newsweek and spent two years as a speechwriter for President Johnson, writing some “difficult” speeches about die Vietnam War, Wendy Benchley said. A 1974 article in People magazine described Benchley as “tall, slender and mode-star handsome, widi eyes like the deep blue sea.” The author’s interest in sharks was lifelong, beginning with childhood visits to Nantucket Island SEE BENCHLEY ON PAGE 13

Katrina response was'feckless' by

Lara

Jordan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Unheeded warnings, poor planning and apathy in recognizing the scope of Hurricane Katrina’s destruction led to the slow emergency response from the White House down to local parishes, a House investigation concludes. The 600-page report by a special Republican-dominated House inquiry into one of the worst natawal disasters in U.S. history concluded that the federal government’s response to Katrina was marked by “fecklessness, flailing and organizational paralysis.” It said President George W. Bush received poor and incomplete counsel about the crisis unfolding on the Gulf Coast and that late state and local evacuation orders added to the confusion at the federal level. “Our investigation revealed that Katrina was a national failure, an abdication of the most solemn obligation to provide for the common welfare,” said a summary of the scathing report obtained Sunday by The Associated Press. “At every level—individual, corporate, philanthropic, and governmental—we failed to meet the challenge that was Katrina,” the report concluded. “In this cautionary tale, all the little pigs built houses of straw.” The House findings mark the first of two congressional inquiries and a White House review of the storm response expected over the next six weeks. Monday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was to continue its own investigation into the Aug. 29 storm response by examining potentially widespread abuse in federal emergency cash assistance programs for disastervictims. Up to 900,000 of 2.5 million applicants received aid based on duplicate or invalid Social Security numbers, or false addresses and names, congressional investigators found. “Everything that we have found... confirms exacdy the indictment of the House Republicans,” Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, thaf committee’s top Democrat, said Sunday. “It’s shocking and it is unsettling.” Excerpts released from the House report, which issued a total of 90 separate findings, spreads the blame through all levels of government.

HOWARD from page 3 The event, part of the third annual

Reginaldo Howard Memorial Commemoration Week, was designed to put a human face on the now-legendary Howard. In addition to Saturday night’s ceremony, there was also a chapel service, a dinner conversation and a film screening “People get lost sometimes in figureheads,” said senior Brandon Hudson, copresident of die Reginaldo Howard Scholars. “It would do disservice to Reggie’s legacy if we placed him on a pedestal, because he believed in people and their ability to make a change.” Event planners and participants stressed the importance of celebrating the 30th anniversary of Howard’s death by understanding the leader’s role in the broader context of University history. In a panel discussion held prior to the unveiling of the plaque and portrait, other leaders told stories about their experiences as black students at the University. Inside the Mary Lou Williams Center, pictures mounted as part of the week’s memorial events outlined stories of black activism at the University through the years. “It’s not just black history,” said Piot, faculty director of the scholarship program which bears Howard’s name. “More importantly, everything that the

black student movement has won here is Duke history, and Duke is a better place because of it.” Scholars said the events helped to promote the legacy of Howard on campus in addition to bridging different parts of the campus community. “To establish leadership across ties, across racial boundaries, across different group interests,” said senior Nick Shungu, co-president of the scholarship. “That’s something that we, as ‘Reggies,’ are trying to do.” There are currently 26 Reginald© Howard Scholars at the University. Scholars such as sophomore Stephanie Amoako said it was inspiring to take a step back this week and recognize the importance of being innovative leaders. ‘You understand that there is a legacy, that your condition here has improved because of people from past years. There’s a connection there,” said Troy Clair, Trinity ’O3, who served as Black Student Alliance President and DSG vice president for student affairs during his years at the University. ‘You understand that you’re doing this for students to come.” In her speech Saturday night, Howard’s sister, Tonya Howard Lee, noted that it was important to remember the compassion and charity that made Howard such a good leader and such a good role model for current scholars.

The MBA Association, which sponsors the event, also allows student groups to host certain nights where students learn about different clubs and organizations. A new element to Fuqua Fridays is its location at the Fox Center, a new building on the Fuqua campus. Now in its second year in the Center, the event is held indoors under bright lights with music in the background. Originally the event was held outdoors on the grass.

Although the Fox Center has allowed for a warmer setting, students said the fluorescent lighting and desk-like tables take away from the optimal social setting. Many said live music or decorations would also be welcome improvements. Nonetheless, Fuqua’s weekly event has become a unique feature of the school that helps attract students like Mulry. In FuquaTalk, a website where students can chat about the business school, individuals often remark on the event as a reason why they came to Duke. “Fuqua Fridays, think happy hour, every Friday, but it’s very much a time for all Fuquans with spouses and kids to congregate,” one entry reads.

Greg Paulus notched a career-high 16 points, including 4-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc, and dished out seven assists Saturday at Maryland.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. For weeks head coach Mike Krzyzewski has been preaching to his team to stop “JJ. watching.” He said he’s had many conversations with freshman Greg Paulus and senior Sean Dockery about becoming more aggressive on offense. Against Maryland Satgame urday, they finally lisanalysis tened. Paulus set a career high with 16points, and Dockery added 15 points of his own, as the duo combined to knock down seven three-pointers in Duke’s 96-88 victory. “For me it just doesn’t make sense,” JJ. Redick said of his teammates’ reluctance to take open shots. “If someone’s like, ‘Shoot the ball, J.J.’ I’m like ‘Alright.’ I’ll shoot it every time I get it.” Paulus and Dockery showed no hesitation pulling the trigger in the opening minutes of Saturday’s game. After the two teams traded baskets on their respective opening possessions, Dockery nailed a three-pointer from the right wing. Then Paulus pulled up at the top of the key to drain a three, and Dockery added another trifecta from the right corner. The long-range barrage helped the Blue Devils jump out to an early 11-4 lead. “Me and Greg work on our shot harder than anybody on the team, so why not SEE SHOOTING ON PAGE 7

Since the Blue Devils jumped out to an early lead and maintained their advantage for the rest of the game, the fans never had an opportunity to let loose. “It wasn’t a profane chant I guess, but other than that it was the same old thing for a road game,” Redick said. “They said a lot of things, but I’ve heard everything. I’m 21 years old now. I’m a senior. That stuff doesn’t even register.” Still, hatred for the nation’s leading scorer could be seen on posters throughout the arena and his name earned the loudest boos during player introductions. It was the second game in a row that Redick had scored 35 in his final game at a particular arena. He lit ate

In his final trip to the COLLEGE PARK, Md. Comcast Center, JJ. Redick had the last laugh. The senior scored 35 points and walked away a victor, while many of the 17,950 people in attendance left the game in awe of the player they have loved to hate for the past four years. “That was more a relieved smile that I pulled out the victory,” Redick said jokingly. “That was just funny for me. The game is over, and they’re still freaking out, getting ready to throw water bottles and stuff.” In the past, Maryland fans have been particularly harsh to Redick. Two seasons ago, the Comcast Center crowd could be heard on television chanting “F you, JJ” as the then-sophomore poured in 26 points in a Duke victory. The profane chants prompted Maryland head coach Gary Williams to speak with fans about appropri—

Neither rain nor snow could keep Duke from winning its first game of the season and taking two of diree games in its weekend series against Seton Hall. The Blue Devils (2-2) trounced the Pirates in a 13-7 victory Friday afternoon before rain Saturday closed Jack Coombs Field and forced SETON HALL 7 a doubleheader DUKE 5 Sunday. Braving scattered snow flurries, Duke and Seton Hall (1-2) split Sunday’s games, with the Blue Devils winning the first 3-2 and the Pirates rebounding with a 7-5 victory to end the series. Friday’s victory was also Sean McNally’s first win as the Blue Devils’ head coach. “I feel good about the way we played,” McNally said. “The goal every time is to win the series. We were able to do that. We take a lot of positives out of this weekend. We got a lot of guys more experience and a lot of guys got in there and got a chance to get on the field. To win two out of three, that was a good weekend for us.” The Blue Devil’s offensive efforts were apparendy not dampened by the weather. Duke outscored the Pirates 23-14 over the three games and batted .341 overall as a team during the series. Friday’s game was highlighted by Duke’s seven-run sixth inning, in which the Blue Devils took a crippling 11-1 lead. Sophomore Brett Bartles hit the first home run of his career—a monster grandslam over the left field fence —and led the

however, scored in the fifth inning on a RBI sacrifice fly by Tim Sherlock that drove in the go-ahead run from third. “It was good to see Andrew Wolcott in the first game [of the doubleheader], a freshman, get out on the mound and throw strikes,” McNally said. “It was nice to see Ron Causey, who battled back from a lot of injuries there, get behind the plate in game two and get a couple of hits for us.” Causey, who went 2-for-5 in the second game, drove in one run and scored another in the back-and-forth battle. Duke took a 54 lead in a three-run, fifth inning rally. After singling to right field, senior Adam Murray stole second base and scored the go-ahead run on the next play off a single laced to center by Nicolla. The Pirates, however, immediately responded with a RBI double to knot the score in the top of the sixth. Seton Hall, who out-hit the Blue Devils 15-12 in the game, scored two more runs with a three-hit seventh inning to take a final lead of 7-5. The Blue Devils had a chance to come back, but could not capitalize, stranding two runners on base in the bottom of the seventh and one in the bottom of the eighth. “To win two out of three games is a good series for us,” McNally said. “We’re four games in, and we feel good about our start and also what we’re in the process of becoming. It is a process and it was a good weekend for us.” '

Duke's defense, which committed 102 errors last season, has only had three miscues in thefirst four games. team with a career-high five RBl’s. Sophomore Jonathan Nicolla went 4-for-5, set-

ting a career-high with his four hits. “I feel good about the way we’re swinging the bats,” McNally said. “I think the key really is working hard to put the ball in play with two strikes and also situationally doing the job—getting guys in from third base and moving runners over. We can always get better, but I feel guys have a good plan and a good approach up there.”

The first game Sunday, which was shortened to seven innings, was a pitcher’s duel. After giving up a hit, a walk, and two runs to the Pirates in the first inning, Duke starter Nate Freiman was replaced by fellow freshman Andrew Wolcott. The Pirates never scored again. Wolcott allowed only three hits in three and two-thirds innings, and reliever Danny Otero picked up the win, giving up two hits in three innings. Dan McDonald

The duo improved its record this season to 13-3. After dropping the doubles point against Texas (2-1), the Blue Devils rebounded to win two of the three doubles matches Sunday against the Aggies (04). It was the first time this season that Duke captured the critical first point. “Today, winning the doubles point was good for us, because we haven’t won the doubles point yet this season,” Jonathan Stokke said after the match Sunday. In addition to Atas and Stokke’s win, Duke’s third doubles tandem of Ned Samuelson and Ludovic Walter escaped with a win in a tiebreaker. As had been the case throughout the match, the tiebreaker was closely contested. Serving for the match at 6-4, Walter double faulted to give the Aggies’ pairing hope. But on the next point, the Blue Devils secured the victory and gave Duke the doubles point. “I was just trying to stay positive and keep the intensity up,” Samuelson said of the match. The Blue Devils continued theirstrong play in singles this weekend, droppingjust one match against the Longhorns Friday and sweeping their matches Sunday. _

With Terrapin guard D.J. Strawberry draped all over him, Redick did not touch the ball on the Blue Devils’ first four possessions and did not attempt a shot until six minutes into the game. Paulus, who has not shot well recendy, found himself with open looks from the perimeter. The freshman hit two early threepointers and finished the game 4-for-5 from long range. His 16 points were a career-high. “He came right out —boom,” Krzyzewski said of Paulus, who also dished out a team-high 7 assists. “You would have thought you had a junior or senior out there—calling things out, protecting the

ball, really being strong with the ball.” Sean Dockery also chipped in 15 points, including shooting 3-for-4 from beyond the arc. His three-pointer with 1:40 to go helped ice the game for Duke. But in the end, it was the usual tandem of Redick and Williams that dominated for the Blue Devils. Despite the first-half foul trouble, Williams owned the paint on both ends of the floor. He finished with 26 points, 13 rebounds and seven blocks. After the game, Krzyzewski said Williams altered even more shots than he was given credit for in the official statistics. Redick, content to let his teammates shoot early on, found his touch after the break and scored 24 points in the second half. Although Duke’s starting backcourt shot with more confidence, Redick still found himself edging above 30 points for the 11th time this season. “JJ. got 35 points in a workman-like way,” Krzyzewski said. With Maryland rallying furiously in the game’s final minutes—the Terrapins hit three three-pointers in the final 1:52 Duke consistendy inbounded to Redick —

and the NCAA’s all-time free-throw shooting leader calmly knocked down his shots. He was 13-for-14from the free-throw stripe on the game. “They were really amped to stop me at the beginning of the game and they expended a lot ofenergy doing that,” Redick said. “We were aggressive enough to take advantage of that. And then once the game setded down I eventually wore those guys down.”

The Blue Devils went into halftime of Friday night’s game leading visiting Virginia by 12 points, but within the first two minutes of the second half, Duke’s lackluster play allowed the lead to slip to just six. Visibly frustrated with her team’s effort and with the score at 41-35, head coach Gail Goestenkors called a timeout. Duke (22-1, 9-1 in the VIRGINIA 2? ACC) had looked DUKE 88 lethargic on defense and let Cavalier point guard Sharnee Zoll, who shot 3for-4 from beyond the arc, take open looks from the perimeter to hack away at the Blue Devil lead. “We just weren’t playing with the effort, the intensity, the desire, the passion that I think we’re known for,” Goestenkors said. Coming out of the timeout, guard Lindsey Harding sparked the 22-8 run that secured Duke’s eventual 88-65 victory over Virginia (13-9, 2-8) at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Harding fed the ball inside to senior Mistie Williams, who finished down low. On the next possession, Harding stole the ball from Zoll and beat her all the way down the left side to convert a layup. And neither Harding nor the Blue Devils would ever look back. The junior guard finished with 12 points and five assists and committed only one turnover. The team went on to shoot 72 percent —18-for-25—from the field in the second half. Duke’s efficiency from the field was the result of the Blue Devils’ focus on establishing a post presence early in the game and then returning to it when they struggled, Goestenkors said.

into our post players because we knew we had the size advantage,” Goestenkors said. Capitalizing on its interior advantage became even more of a priority as the game progressed, especially with Monique Currie struggling. The National Player of the Year candidate shot l-for-9 from the floor. With only two points, Currie posted the worst offensive output ofher career. In contrast, Williams, who contributed 16 points and 8 rebounds, shot well over her season average and carried the team. “I think that’s the mark of a great team, when you don’t need to rely on one player,” Goestenkors said. “We always have other players that can step forward.” In the backcourt, Abby Waner picked up some of the offensive slack for the struggling Currie with 14 points. But Duke also looked to some of the players deeper on its bench to boost its second-half run. Senior Jessica Foley single-handedly extended the Duke lead by eight to 75-56 late in the second half. Despite being fouled, Foley hit a deep three while falling to the floor. She converted her free-throw attempt and scored on the next two possessions. In addition, reserves Emily Waner and Laura Kurz, who have been averaging only 0.8 and 3.3 points, respectively, in ACC play, made significant contributions. Kurz had five points, while Emily Waner added seven. “We’ve been emphasizing all year our depth,” Abby Waner said. “The whole team was trying to help Monique through the game, whether it’s Monique or Mistie or Emily orwhoever, I think that’s just the way our team is.”

The senior was even more accurate than her usual 65 percent from the floor, which is second best in the ACC. As is her style, Williams’ stellar game was not the result of flashy play in the post, but it was a product of consistent hustle and court-awareness.

The sequence was not fancy, but it was employed numerous times by the Blue Devils throughout the game, reflecting head coach Gail Goestenkors’ game plan. ‘We wanted to establish ourselves inside,” Goestenkors said. “Throughout most of the game, we felt that we had really good position inside, and they were having a tough time defending us, so we con-

Instead of forcing up awkward shots while facing the pressure of two defend-

Harding outside for the open shot. The senior tallied three assists, and the defensive attention she attracted helped the Blue Devils shoot an impressive 58 percent for the game. “We rely on Mistie and count on her to play at a certain level,” Goestenkors said. “I thought when the team wasn’t playing particularly hard, she helped to rally us, and get after it on both ends of the floor.” The senior’s leadership should be a point of reference for Black and junior forward Alison Bales. Even though Black was aggressive on the boards, she was sometimes erratic down low on the offensive end, leading to turnovers. Bales, on the other hand, lacked aggressiveness and was sometimes reluctant to look for her shot whenever she felt pressure. Williams’ play in recent games is a sign that the senior is finding her rhythm at just the right time before ACC and NCAA Tournament play begins. She has scored 16 points and grabbed at least seven rebounds in each of her last three games, surpassing her season averages of 11.6 points and 6.0 rebounds. “At the beginning of the season, I wasn't looking to take my shots or be aggressive with my body,” Williams said. “Now, I just really want to be more aggressive, and I hope the rest of the team takes thatkind of intensity over.”

Despite individual successes, the Duke grapplers were unable to pull through in their final home match of the season against Virginia (11-5, 3-1 in the ACC) Saturday. Duke (2-10, 0-5) remained competitive throughout the match, but eventually fell 25-13 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The conference loss came after a tight 17-15 win over GardnerWebb (12-11) earlier in the day. Following freshman Wade Van Sickle’s 3-1 victory in the heavyweight class, the Blue Devils held a 13-6 lead over Gardner Webb. But the VIRGINIA 25 Bulldogs took two straight DUKE *l3 matches at the 125- and 133pound weight classes to cut the Duke advantage to 13-12 and it GARDNER appeared the Blue Devils could 17 drop yet another close match. DUKE Sophomore Wes Kuser, however, would not let that happen as he secured a major decision victory at the 141-pound weight class, giving Duke a 17-12 lead. “We’re really starting to come together as a unit,” Kuser said. “All the stuff we’re practicing is beginning to pay off and you can see all the guys developing.” The success did not carry over into the evening match against Virginia, which was also competing in its second match of the day. The Blue Devils began with close losses at the 125- and 133-pound weight classes, and the Cavaliers took a quick 6-0 lead. Kuser stepped up again, putting Duke on the board in the 141-pound matchup. The sophomore took the lead in the third period to defeat Virginia’s Nick Alparone, 7-2. Junior Daniel Shvartsman followed with a major decision victory at 149 pounds to give Duke its only lead of the match. Shvartsman added three takedowns in the third period to extend his 6-3 lead to the final 15-7 margin. “149 was excellent,” Duke head coach Clar Anderson said. “Their coach even mentioned how tough Shvartsman was.” Duke led 7-6 going into the 157-pound match, but freshman Cameron Harms lost his bout when he gave up six points in the final period. The Cavaliers continued with wins at 165 and 174 pounds over Aaron Glover and Levi Craig, respectively, to take back control of the match. “Levi Craig was a disappointing loss,” Anderson said. “He’s the only senior in the lineup and had beaten [Virginia’s Mike Grogan] previously.” Athough the Blue Devils’ 184-pounder, Dan Tulley, suffered his second loss of the day, the 197-pound matchup provided Duke with its most impressive win of the match. Sophomore Konrad Dudziak scored the first fall of the night, pinning Virginia’s Brent Jones in the second period. [Jones] was slated as one of the top in the ACC and has brought down some big guys, so that was a great win,” Anderson said. The Cavaliers countered with the second fall of the match in the heavyweight bout, pinning freshman Wade Van Sickle to cap their win at 25-13. “It’s definitely a very young team, but these guys are gaining confidence,” Anderson said. “We’ve been competitive at every weight class. With some more years under them, they are going to start seeing more success.” -

Just one event after the United States’

4x400 relay team broke the indoorworld record, the Blue Devils set a record of their own. For the third weekend in a row, the Duke track and field team broke a school record. This weekend, the men’s 4x400-meter relay smashed a nine-yearold Duke mark at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas. “It was a breakthrough performance for them,” associate head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “Setting a school record is

huge.”

The previous record time, set in 1997, was 3:17.51, and the Blue Devils surpassed that mark by more than a second, running a 3:16.17. The Duke squad started off with

freshman Nick Trombold running a 48.9 first leg, followed by junior Matt Danforth clocking a 49.7 split. Sophomore Brett Morrell followed with a 49.8 leg, and junior Dan King anchored the relay with a 47.7. The time qualified the men for IC4As and earned them a 12th-place finish in the event. Junior Debra Vento placed fifth in the high jump with the lOth-best performance in the country this season, clearing 5-10.75 feet. It was the third time she reached the NCAA provisional height this season. “It was by far her best performance of the indoor season,” Jermyn said. “She looked stronger than she has this year, and she came away from the meet feeling very positive.” The automatic qualification height for the NCAAs is six feet, which Vento attempted three times. “She came really close on all three tries, and on one she just nipped the bar with the back of her heels,” Jermyn said. “Debra’s performance was definitely the highlight of the weekend.” Sophomore Chris Spooner also had a career-best performance in the mile, running a 4:08.69. Spooner’s time was Duke’s best of the year and the second best time in the ACC this season. “Chris had a great race, and since he ran a 4:10 last weekend, this time was really a big [personal record] for him,” Jermyn said. In the women’s 800-meter, freshman Molly Lehman qualified for ECACs with a time of 2:13.12 and placed 11th. Right behind her was junior Lindsay Owen, who finished in 14th with a season-best time of 2:13.52. In 20th place, freshman Jessica Davlin won her heat in the 800, but just missed the ECAC qualifying mark by a tenth of a second. Duke will be on the road again next weekend for the Virginia Tech Invitational and will travel back to Blacksburg, Va. the following weekend to compete in the ACC Championships.

the ball when he was left open. The senior, who Krzyzewski has called the Blue Devils’ second-best shooter, connected on 4-for-6 of his attempts from beyond the arc against the Tar Heels. He found similar success against Maryland, going 3-for-4 from long range. Paulus, meanwhile, has struggled to score from the field in Duke’s last few games. The point guard misfired on all eight ofhis attempts in the Blue Devils’ games against Boston College and Florida State, even missing several layups. But the floor leader played with confidence and poise in his first trip to the Comcast Center and was not shy about shooting the ball. “We understand that.we need to contribute a little bit more offensively,” Paulus said. “Sometimes we rely on JJ. and Shelden so much that all the attention goes to them and guys lay off us, and we’re not making them pay. Hopefully this will keep building and growing, and this is definitely what we need to do—balanced scoring.” If Paulus and Dockery continue to assert themselves offensively, the Blue Devils will become an almost impossible team to defend. Redick, who reached 30 points for the fourth time in the past five games, has proven that he is going to get his points regardless of what defensive schemes opposing coaches draft up. And when Duke feeds the ball to Williams in the post, he consistently creates matchup problems for oppo-

They’re going to shade me and Shelden. They want other guys to beat us. The first half, especially early, I didn’t really even get a shot off, and we were still scoring.” Sure, Redick scored 35 and Williams added 26, but the Blue Devil role players nents

Paulus and Dockery helped build an early lead, and it was Dockery’s threepointer from the right corner with less than two minutes remaining that put a dagger through the hearts of the Terrapin faithful. “Today was a step in us becoming better,” Kr2yzewski said. “This was kind of the first game—and we needed it today where a lot of guys stepped up.” —

against Duke’s archrival. Although Redick has fared better against the Terrapins, his performance Saturday was his best, and he improved his record to 5-4 against the ACC foe. The Duke senior class now holds a winning record against every conference opponent over the past four years. After the game, Redick stood next to his locker and could not help but smile any time he was asked about the Maryland fans. Maybe he was just relieved to get the win and improve Duke’s ACC record to 110, but it seemed like he was savoring Saturday’s win more than most. “Ijust wanted to take everything in,” Redick said. “Obviously, I’m not going to be back here. I just wanted to hear the last few things that Maryland fans had to say.” Redick’s performance Saturday, however, ultimately left many Terrapin fans

He also spoke to teenagers who lived in Sarajevo during the Yugoslav wars. It was amazing because I’d meet up with people my age and just talk to them about living through it,” Malcovitch said. It was the small differences between America and other countries that he found most striking. He cited openness with strangers as one example. “In many places in Albania, you’ll sit down and just talk to [sales clerks],” Malkovitch said. Malcovitch also developed new interests during his time abroad. Prior to his travels, Malcovitch said he was not an avid reader. But by the middle of his trip, he was reading nonstop. “I was trading books all over Asia and Europe,” he added. His selections ranged from popular fiction to great works, including The Quran. Malcovitch said that his visits to book exchanges led him to some unusual selections that he would not normally have chosen from the library or a bookstore, His only requirement for the books was simple: They had to be in English. Despite his adventures and interesting experiences, Malcovitch ultimately found that he was eager to return to Durham. “I got really hungry to come back to Duke,” Malcovitch said. “I developed a new mindset, a new frame of thought in all these different countries. I just needed something to put into that frame of thought.” He is continuing his study of Chinese,

“This view is pretty predictable because we’re anti-taxing in America,” said Lori Bennear, assistant professor of environmental economics and policy. Opponents of tax schemes for reducing emissions believe taxes would place an unnecessary burden on the federal and state governments, Bennear said. She added that tax systems for limitations have flourished in some European countries. Many contend that the major benefit of cap-and-trade systems is that they guarantee effective, predictable results by capping the overall use of carbon-based fuels. From an “economics” perspective, Bennear said, the programs have a lot in common and would likely have similar effects on the development of new technology to reduce the level of carbon emissions. “But as individual states act on these efforts, other complications arise,” she added. State limitations in the absence of federal actions could give states an advantage over others in developing industries, Bennear said. “Although taking on efforts [to cap carbon emissions] could ultimately benefit individual statest limitations have the potential to prevent action in others,” Bennear said. Aside from major pushes in some western states and in the northeast, few states have actually implemented carbon caps. “This involves a completely diverse range of interests,” Profeta said. “But North Carolina is taking great strides through this initiative.”

BENCHLEY,™ pages in Massachusetts and heightening in the mid-1960s when he read about a fisherman catching a 4,550-pound great white shark off Long Island, the setting for his novel. “I thought to myself, ‘What would happen if one of those came around and wouldn’t go away?’” he recalled. Benchley didn’t start the novel, for which he received a $7,500 advance, until 1971 because he was too busy with his day jobs. “There was no particular influence. My idea was to tell my first novel as a sort of long story... just to see ifI could do it. I had been a freelance writer since I was 16, and I sold things to various magazines and newspapers whenever I could.” The editor of “Jaws,” Thomas Congdon, told The Associated Press on Sunday that he had been impressed by some articles Benchley wrote for National Geographic and arranged a lunch at a French restaurant in New York—“a second-class restaurant, not first class, since he was an unknown.” “The lunch didn’t go very well,” said Congdon, an editor at Doubleday at the time and now retired. “His nonfiction ideas did not seem very promising, but at the end of the meal, I said, ‘Have you ever thought of writing a novel?’ And he said, ‘Well, I have an idea about a great white shark that marauds an Eastern coastal town and provokes a moral crisis in the community.’” Congdon loved the idea and got him $l,OOO as a down payment in return for an initial submission of 100 pages. While Peter Benchley co-wrote the screenplay for “Jaws,” and authored several other novels, including “The Deep” and “The Island,” Wendy Benchley said he was especially proud of his conservation work. He served on the national council of Environmental Defense, hosted numerous television wildlife programs, gave speeches around the world and wrote articles for National Geographic and other publications. “He cared very much about sharks. He spent most of his life trying to explain to people that if you are in the ocean, you’re in the shark’s territory, so it behooves you to take precautions,” Wendy Benchley said. The author did not abide by the mayhem his book evoked. In fact, he was quite at ease around sharks, his widow said. She recalled a trip to Guadeloupe, Mexico last yearfor their 40th wedding anniversary, when the two went into the water in a special cage. “They put bait in the water and sharks swim around and play games,” she said. “We went at a time when the females came in and the females were much larger than the males. And at times we would have 4 or 5 of the most gorgeous female torpedoes drifting by the cage. We were thrilled, excited. We’d been around sharks for so long.” Besides his wife, Peter Benchley is survived by three children and five grandchildren. A small family service will take place next week in Princeton, Wendy Benchley said.

The lower geography of the regions resulted in increased exposure to the wrath of the hurricane’s aftermath once the levees of Lake Pontchartrain were breached. “The truth is, those who were wealthy and white truly were ‘higher,’ while those who were poor and black were ‘lower,’” Dyson said. He also discussed the poverty of the residents most severely affected by Katrina. “[The] 134,000 people in New Orleans didn’t own a car. They weren’t stupid. They weren’t stubborn. They were stuck,” Dyson said. “These people were abandoned long before [Hurricane Katrina struck].” While commenting on the poverty of the Katrina victims, Dyson also criticized President George W. Bush’s response to the disaster. “What did the government have to offer people in crisis?” Dyson asked. “We all saw the ineptitude, saw the inexperience and saw the ignorance when it came to helping [the Katrina victims]. It was the whole triumvirate. Now Michael Brown is shooting back because he has nothing to lose.” Michael Brown, the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was held responsible by many Americans for what they deemed a slow and weak federal response to Katrina victims. Brown criticized the Bush White House Feb. 10 for failing to heed his warnings about the potential destruction that Katrina could cause. Many have criticized Bush for giving Brown the position of FEMA director because ofBrown’s lack of experience in the field. In his speech, Dyson also praised rapper Kanye West, who in the days following the impact ofKatrina said on a nationally televised broadcast that the president does not care about black people. “Kanye West turns out to be the hardest man in hip hop,” Dyson said. “When Kanye said, ‘George Bush doesn’t care about black people,’ he didn’t mean ‘George Bush’ as an individual. He meant ‘George Bush’ as in the face of the government.... And when he said ‘care,’ he meant the timely distribution of resources to those who needed them.” Dyson also told the audience about his experience meeting a young boy who was displaced from his home because ofKatrina. The boy asked him if the storm had been sent by God. “Some people are saying that God drowned New Orleans because of its gay people... because of its abortion clinics... because the poor black people were addicted to welfare,” he said. “I thought we got over that before the Age of Reason.” Dyson, who has authored several social commentary books including Holler if You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur and Is Bill Cosby Right? Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind, also talked, about other instances of government discrimination, such as what he sees as biased drug laws. Focusing on cocaine and crack-cocaine legislation, Dyson said the penalties for possessors of cocaine, an expensive drug usually used by wealthier people, are much less severe than those for possessors of crack-cocaine, an inexpensive and impure version more common in urban areas. Dyson was critical of the drug-law enforcement disparity between wealthier neighborhoods and poorer urban ones. “Most [blacks] in prison are there for non-violent drug offenses,” Dyson noted. Tm not saying its all right to smoke a joint—all the time,” he jokingly. Throughout Dyson’s roughly hour and a half lecture, the audience applauded several times and often broke into laughter at his jokes. Many members of the audience shouted out in agreement with Dyson’s statements. “[Dyson] said a lot of things that opened my mind to what was going on before the storm and not just what happened afterwards,” said Lisa Pepin, a high school junior from the nearby North Carolina School of Science and Math. Pepin and some of her fellow classmates are planning to travel to New Orleans later this semester to see if they can volunteer to help with the city’s reconstruction.

Among the conclusions: —Late decisions by New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco to issue mandatory evacuations in the New Orleans area led to deaths and prolonged suffering. —The White House was unable to effectively sort through conflicting reports about levee breaches and other disaster developments, preventing rapid relief. —The Federal Emergency Management Agency suffered from a lack of trained and experienced personnel. —Military assistance was invaluable, but the military failed to coordinate with state, local and other federal assistance organizations. —Government officials at all levels failed to take into account lessons learned from a 2004 fictional storm exercise, dubbed Hurricane Pam, that was supposed to specifically test the region’s readiness. The House investigation criticized Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoffs actions, saying his overall responsibilities for the federal disaster relief were fulfilled “either late, ineffectively or not at all.” The special report concluded that Chertoff unnecessarily delayed naming a top federal coordinator for relief efforts and the activation of an internal disaster management group. More prompt action by Chertoff would have quickened the relief effort, the report said. The House report also faulted Chertofffor not following a response plan specifically for catastrophic disasters. In blistering testimony Friday, former FEMA director Michael Brown said Chertoff had marginalized the agency’s role in the Homeland Security Department, which he said was focused more on fighting terrorism than preparing and responding to natural disasters. In an interview Sunday, the department’s deputy secretary, Michael Jackson, called Brown’s testimony “an unconscionable misrepresentation” and said the former FEMA chief was disgruntled with having to report to Chertoff instead of directly to President Bush. Chertoff “trusted his incident commander,” Jackson said. “What we saw Friday was an acknowledgment by the incident commander that he had betrayed that trust and blatantiy disregarded his obligations to his boss and re-

sponsibilities.” An investigator who helped write the House report

to evacuate.

“He knew full well the danger of the storm and the threat it posed,” Duffy said Sunday night. “But when he wasn’t satisfied, he was the first to stand up and take responsibility.” The special House panel, chaired by Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., was boycotted by Democratic leaders who called for an independent inquiry of the government’s failings similar to that of the 9/11 Commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. But two Democrats who participated in the House inquiry, while widely praising the draft report, said it should have called for removing Chertoff from his job. “The Department of Homeland Security needs new and more experienced leadership,” said Reps. Charlie Melancon and William Jefferson, both ofLouisiana. Details of the House findings were first reported in Sunday’s editions of The Washington Post.

said Sunday that Chertoff was no more to blame for the sluggish response than other government authorities. White House spokesperson Trent Duffy said Bush was “engaged and fully involved in the response efforts,” noting that the president declared Katrina a disaster before the storm hit and make a personal plea for citizens

centivize drug use of any kind—clearly a positive—or

result in many more students getting caught with street drugs than were before. The NCAA does not mandate drug testing, nor does it employ its authority as the overarching organization to test all athletes on every team. Although the NCAA tests its athletes at championship tournaments and conducts random tests for select teams at each institution, it would be far too expensive and complicated an undertaking for the NCAA to test every athlete at every school. This leaves the burden on universities to keep its athletes clean. Yet there’s hardly an incentive for any university athletic department to bust a kid and

promptly deem him or her ineligible. It hurts the depart-

ment, it hurts the school and

it hurts the kid. When you leave testing and the oversight of that testing up largely to such an athletic department—as Duke plans to do under its new policy—you risk compromising vigilance of test administration and its oversight. The committee’s members will include an athletic department administrator, a faculty member, a representative from the Office of Student Affairs and a trainer, all appointed by President Richard Brodhead. While this cross-section of people is a good mix of types, they’re all still employees of this University—a university that hardly benefits from

kicking athletes off its teams. In the end, the policy’s implementation—in appointing this oversight committee, in administering the tests and beyond—falls to maintaining Duke’s integrity. What’s at

stake is not so much the careers or lives of athletes, although the culture here should hardly resemble a “big brother” world of super-surveillance. What’s at stake is an intangible—our reputation. We hope that through this new policy, the athletic department succeeds across the board—both in making clear that drug use will not be tolerated and in ensuring that steroids are culturally dissuaded. Accountability and personal integrity should matter just as much as winning.

Musician’s credence undue I am pleased that The Chronicle wants to explore how art can promote division as well as unity, but I wish the recess article on Prussian Blue had shared this goal (“Musical duo advocates racial separation, Feb. 9). The writer devotes 961 words to quotes from advocates of what he obligingly calls “racial separation.” Only 225 words are quotes from “the other side, anti-hate speech groups.” Anti-racists’ words are described as “accusations” and “allegations,” while Lamb Gaede is simply “promoting her beliefs” when she says, “black people are more likely to be criminals.” And the pictures that accompany the article look like cutouts from a Prussian Blue promo mailing. Did the reporter actually speak with the Gaedes? Did something prevent him from asking real questions? I am not suggesting he needed to call them bigots to their faces, but could he not have asked, “How do you feel about Hitler?” or, “Are you sure the skulls and upside-down peace symbol on your record label’s website help promote your mes-

sage of peaceful separation?” The Chronicle should take a closer look at the next two pieces in this series if it is serious about exploring how art can divide

people. Otherwise the only topic explored will be how poor journalism can divide people. Allen Mcßride M.S. Student, Program in Ecology DSG not lethargic The Feb. 6 staff editorial commenting on President Brodhead’s discussion with a joint session of DSG and GPSC failed to give credit to many challenging questioners, and be mindful of the circumstances of the interaction. It seems to me, as both a reader of the editorial and an attendee of the event, that The Chronicle editorial board would have preferred an inquisition to force apologies and admissions of guilt from a wellintending (and well-achieving for the most part) President. The sincere discussions of financial aid, raising the representation of minorities in the faculty (particularly sciences) and discussion of ARAMARK that accounted for more intricacies

than often considered (including possible layoffs, the potential for even worse food, and lengthy transition periods) fell upon the deaf ears of the editorial board. The editorial focused particularly on question regarding parking. I was the senator to ask President Brodhead why Duke’s business model designed Auxiliary Services sub-departments as costrecouping modules, rather than enforcing financial responsibility through strict budgetary control from above. While he didn’t first grasp the extent of the question, joked and admitted he wasn’t an expert in all matters of University policy, I clarified, expanded and drove the heart of an issue I feel he answered to fullest extent possible. I plan to pursue the issue further in private, having raised it sufficiently in public. I apologize we didn’t bring the nails and hammers to crucify President Brodhead as the editorial board and tabloid aficionados would have preferred.

JACK BAUER’S BIDET needs answers, and where better to get them than from renowned sexomatholigist and Duke University’s William H. Chafe Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Dr. Turgid Humpinson? Humpinson, author of Taken from Zero to Infinity: Evaluating Your Partner’s Inner Integral, explains that so-called “inter-disciplinary dating,” or IDD, is becoming more common at top universities offering both real educations and four-year day care programs. Humpinson goes on to explain the phenomenon: “Engineer boyfriends are like S&M gimps but with better earning

Though electrical engineers are slightly more limited in their terminology, JACK thinks they’ll enjoy more success when initially pursuing women, due to extensive practical lab work with mixed-signal analysis and faulty logic analyzers. Civil and environmental engineers are, for all intents and purposes, Trinity students. They also tend to be attractive women in the first place, and consequently need little coaching and assistance. That said, JACK BAUER’S BIDET would be remiss in not pointing out the boudoirpuissance of a working knowledge of structural resonance, transportation networks, soil erosion, water treatment and munici-

pal piping. Though IDD typically involves a mangineer, there are some cases of role-reversal. Many women

according to the Social Division Of The Society For Women Engineers (Motto: “The odds are good ... but the goods are odd”) most of these men turn out to be either emotionally unavailable, boring, overworked, taken or Asian. Often these women are forced to attend E-kegs in order to meet single Trinity guys. This development, while expected, is not well-taken by the male Pratt community. JACK sat down with Kevin Wang, ECE ’O7, organizer of this year’s anti-interdisciplinary rally, “Protect Our Essence 2006”. “These A&S-holes are stealing our women!,” explained an infuriated Wang.* “Wait—that’s wom-a-n, not wom-e-n you got that, right? Singular. Damn. I have to go to lab. We’ll talk later.” *The use of the phrase “infuriated Wang” was deliberate. -
