Access to files on a popular student-run server was disabled Friday after the Office of Judicial Affairs began a formal investigation of possible violations of University policy. The server, run by Elliott Wolf, a sophomore and Chronicle columnist, offered students the ability to stream and download thousands of movies, episodes of television shows, music videos and occasional clips from basketball games. In a letter obtained by The Chronicle, sent to Wolf Friday by Stephen Bryan, associate dean for judicial affairs, the sophomore was asked to “remove the Duke logo” and “disable further downloads” from the site. According to the letter, Wolfs creation and use of the site are in violation of the University’s regulations governing Computer Usage and Property, Facilities and Services. Bryan noted in an e-mail that the Family and Education
Rights and Privacy Act prevents him from discussing any disciplinary matter involving an
identifiable student without the student’s permission. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, also declined to comment on the situation. Wolf declined to comment on the specifics of the situation, but he noted that the site was
password-protected. “Access

only granted to a small number of individuals, and anyone else
who was accessing it was doing so without my permission,” he wrote in an e-mail. “I made no attempt whatsoever to spread authentication information and posted warnings throughout the site that it was private and restricted only to people whom had been granted permission by me. People have asked me how to access my computer in the past, and I have refused to give them that information.” Wolf added that to his SEE WOLF ON PAGE 5

Administrators in Trinity College of Arts and Sciences have spent the past year making a concerted effort to increase the number of endowed chairs in the school.

The Arts and Sciences budget does not permit a significant expansion in the number of faculty slots unless they raise new resources to support them.” Endowed chairs—also called distinguished professorships —are awarded to outstanding faculty and are usually held for life.

Next year, there will be a total of 77 distinguished professors in Arts and Sciences, said Charles Byrd, associate dean of academic affairs in arts and sciences.

Explosion imperils Mexican miners Olga Rodriguez THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SABINAS, Mexico
A gas buildup in a northern Mexico coal mine triggered a pre-dawn explosion Sunday, trapping 65 miners who were only carrying six hours of oxygen. Emergency officials were slowly tunneling through the debris, hoping they had access to fresh air and had survived. At least eight miners who had been near the mine’s exit when the explosion occurred were rescued and hospitalized with bums and broken bones. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening. SAN
JUAN DE
Union and company officials said they believed there were 65 miners trapped throughout the mine, near the town ofSan Juan de Sabinas, 85 miles southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas. Sergio Robles, director of Coahuila state’s emergency services, said the trapped miners were carrying six hours of oxygen with them and were located one to three miles from the mine’s entrance. Nearly 20 hours after the explosion, rescue officials—slowed by toxic gases, including carbon monoxide—had not been able to make contact with the miners, and it was unclear if fresh air was reaching them.
When asked if officials believed the miners survived the explosion, Robles said “it would be difficult because of the presence of gas. But we are holding out hope of finding someone alive.” Juan Rebolledo, vice president of international affairs for mining giant Grupo Mexico, which owns the mine, said rescue teams were taking turns carefully removing debris that had clogged the steep shaft. “It’s slow work because of the quantity of debris,” he said. Officials were planning on working throughout the night.
Pakistani security forces arrested hundreds of Islamic hard-liners, virtually sealed off the capital and used gunfire and tear gas Sunday to quell protests against caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Elsewhere, demonstrators with wooden staves and stones tried unsuccessfully to storm the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia.

Top brass see prevention as key in health care’s future by

Steve Burrill, CEO of a prominent life science company, talks about prospective health care Friday.
Jenna
Krueger THE CHRONICLE
In the words of Dr. Ralph Snyderman and Steve Burrill, health care is about to undergo a major paradigm shift. A crowd of more than 70 doctors, graduate students and undergraduates gathered in the Searle • Center Friday evening to hear both men speak about current and future transformations in health care. The event, “Prospective Health Care: The Next Health Care Transformation,” was the inaugural presentation of the annual Roundtable Series hosted by The Center for Research on Prospective Health Care and the Duke University Prospective Health Care Club. Dr. Ziggy Yoediono, who is involved with both organizations,
introduced the speakers as “visionaries” in the field. Snyderman, chancellor emeritus for health affairs at Duke, James B. Duke professor of medicine and founder of the Center for Research on Prospective Health Care, spoke first. He explained that a shift from contemporary health care strategies to preventive health care would be as radical a change as the shift from spiritual to scientific medicine in the mid-19th century. Snyderman described his vision of a prospective health care system in which the focus of treatment would be disease prevention in healthy patients. Patients would be screened for genetic risk factors SEE PROSPECTIVE ON PAGE 6
McDonald's manager bids farewell to Duke Rob Copeland THE CHRONICLE

He may not be a celebrated professor or a sports star, but Rafael Perez is still one of the most well-known people on campus. As the store manager ofMcDonald’s in the Bryan Center since 2002, Perez has served thousands of customers traditional fast food fare with his trademark smile and friendly nature. Last week, however, Perez left the Duke restaurant to become manager of a larger location in Raleigh. Perez said he was not looking to make a change, but he could not turn down the opportunity to take on more responsibility and a higher salary. “If the money were the same, I would stay here without a doubt,” he said. “I will miss the family atmosphere. It’s special here.” Born in Medellin, Colombia, Perez managed an upscale steakhouse in his home country before moving to the United States in 2000. He quickly found a job at a McDonald’s in Raleigh not far from North Carolina State University. The students there were far less amiable than those at Duke, he said. “There’s a more respectful atmosphere here,” he noted. Perez was transferred to Duke in 2002 with a promo-
tion to store manager.
When he arrived, Perez was very tentative and nervous, recalled Sonia Ramirez, a current assistant manager. But staff said Perez soon had everyone working together to make the McDonald’s experience better for the customers. “When he told us he was leaving, I couldn’t believe it,” Ramirez said. “Everyone has good and bad days, but Rafael is always great.” Over time, Perez has learned the idiosyncrasies of his steady customers, which include girls who order a large Diet Coke but only a small order of fries, and one student who orders five or six hash browns every morning for breakfast. Others request round eggs instead of folded eggs in their breakfast sandwiches or ask for a triple-decker burger without the middle bun. “We don’t call that weird though,” Perez explained. “It’s not hard to please the people.” He oversaw a location that was ranked consistently near the top of the Performance Assessment for Culinary Excellence ranking compiled by Duke Dining Services, noted Jim Wulforst, director of dining services. “There’s no question about it.

The number of applications to law schools throughout the nation for the upcoming academic year decreased significandy from last year, according to a recent Kaplan study. As of early February, law programs throughout the nation received 60,397 applications, a 10-percent decrease from last year. Although many law schools have not yet received all of their expected applications, various universities nationwide are already reporting a decline. Based on applications received thus far this year, the pool of applicants interested in Duke Law has decreased about 2.5 percent, officials said. Last year, the School of Law received 4,486
applications. The University of Pennsylvania’s Law School reported a 12-percent decrease in its number of applicants so far. Similarly, Columbia Law School received 8,020 applications, down 335 from 2005. The University of North Carolina Hill School ofLaw reported a 4-percent decline. Officials at Duke, however, are not concerned that the decrease in the size of the applicant pool will lead to a loss in the quality of prospective students. Some believe students with lower credentials chose other career paths rather than spend time and money applying to law schools that were likely to reject them. at Chapel

Currently, there are approximately 22 applicants for every seat in the class, Hoye added. Undergraduate students, however, may be favoring other career paths over law.

information,” he wrote. Since last spring, students on campus that obtained Wolf s password were able to access the website through the University’s Intranet server. Over the course of the year, the content on the site grew with increasing demand from the students. “It basically gave me something to do on the weekends,” sophomore Jay Levin said. “It was just a really good source for weekend entertainment.” He noted that the site’s content was not necessarily rare or hard to find, but rather that accessing the site was a more convenient way to watch some popular movies. “Nine out of 10 titles he had were in the library anyway,” Levin added. “I guarantee you that it was just a substitute for going out into the cold to rent the movies from the library.” Levin noted that the site was free for those able to access it. Molly Bierman, a freshman, said she went through a period last semester when she downloaded several movies each day. But she noted that she was aware the website might have contained files that were illegally obtained. “I’m not surprised,” Bierman said of the website’s recent termination. “I definitely thought it was just a matter of time.” Bierman noted that she had heard of at least one professor telling students in a class to access a required movie via Wolfs site. Some students said the ability to access television shows gave them flexibility in managing their time on campus, especially those who opted not to purchase the University cable plan. “It allows me to study on Sunday nights so I don’t have to worry about watching Grey’s Anatomy or Desperate Housewives because I can watch it later,” sophomore Ashley Reed said. Reed noted that she believes Wolf was filling a need on campus. “Even if [Judicial Affairs has] an issue with how it’s done, it’s been such a great resource that Duke should try to find a

His wife, Kimberly Ann Best, told officers of the Durham Police Department that her husband, from whom she is separated, came to her house last Monday and damaged her car. A warrant was issued Tuesday for that incident and police arrested him Wednesday. Best went to his estranged wife’s house again Thursday and allegedly assaulted his wife and her friend. His wife obtained an emergency restraining order from a judge Thursday. She told court officials that her husband is an alcoholic in need of help and requested that her husband be ordered to participate in an alcohol and substance abuse treatment program.

by predictive models in a digitalized database and given personalized nutritional or lifestyle advise according to their risk as-
sessmentplan. Snyderman criticized current health care as being too reactive and physician-directed. He explained that while a lack of technology made this system necessary in the past, high-tech medical advances will enable patients to assume more responsibility for their own well-being and to avoid disease rather than treat it. “One hundred years later, we have a whole new capability to think about medicine,” Snyderman said. The stage was then turned over to Burrill, CEO of prominent life science investment company Burrill and Company. Focusing on die pharmaceutical and financial aspects of prospective health care, Burrill argued that spending more resources treating wellness than sickness would lead to more affordable health care, especially as more and more money is being spent to treat diseases related to aging. Burrill called for a more personalized approach to health and pharmaceuticals through prospective health care and explained that increased spending on medicine is not necessarily negative. “Health care costs go up because we can treat diseases that we couldn’t treat before,” he said. The speakers then opened the floor to a question-and-answer session. Audience members expressed their skepticism about the ability of prospective health care to lower costs, the willingness of businesses to invest in a new system and the ability of doctors to motivate patients to take greater responsibility for their health.

government spokesperson Asaf Shariv said the next payment, scheduled for early March, “won’t take place.” Army Radio quoted Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz saying the cutoff would be reviewed each month. The Palestinian Authority relies on that money to help pay the salaries of roughly 140,000 government employees, including about 57,000 in the security forces. Should the government, the Palestinians’ largest employer, be forced to lay off tens of thousands of workers, it would lead to increased chaos and poverty in Palestinian towns. Palestinian experts estimate that the Palestinian budget shortfall is about $1 billion a year, and the Israel-collected funds would cover about half of that. However, the Cabinet held back from adopting far harsher proposals made by Israeli security officials, including a recommendation to seal off the Gaza Strip, barring thousands of Palestinian laborers, from entering Israel and eliminating all trade with the impoverished area. Israel’s acting foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, said the government did not want to worsen the daily lives of Palestinians or cause an international backlash against Israel. But she warned that “Israel will take a number of additional politically significant steps regarding the Palestinian Authority.” She did not elaborate. Mofaz told Israel TV the government could freeze work on the construction of a seaport and airport in Gaza. The Cabinet also decided to ask the international community to stop giving money to the Palestinians, though it said humanitarian aid should continue.

Robles said rescue officials had advanced up to 300 yards into the mine after working nearly 20 hours. It was unclear when they would reach the miners. The explosion occurred around 2:30 a.m. local time Sunday. Rebelled© said oxygen tanks were scattered throughout the mine, but it was impossible to know if the trapped miners had access to them. Coahuila Gov. Humberto Moreira Valdes, who was at the site overseeing the rescue operation, told Televisa network that the mine’s ventilation system was still working. Officials had cordoned off the area, and worried family members waited outside the security zone for information. As night fell, many built bonfires and wrapped themselves in blankets to guard against the cold. Among them was Norma Vitela, who heard on the radio that her husband, 47year-old Jose Angel Guzman, was trapped. Guzman, a father of four, had worked in the mine for 16 years, earning $76 a week. “Now we are waiting for a miracle from God,” she said. Vitela said her husband had mentioned before that there were problems with gas in the mine, but he could not afford to quit. Consuelo Aguilar, a spokesperson for the National Miners’ Union, said union officials were also there to assist in the rescue. She said there has been concern over safety conditions in Grupo Mexico mines and called for an investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident and the responsibility of any company officials. “We have pressured for better safety conditions as well as for better pay at the mines,” she said.

The manager’s “general greatness” spurred junior Kevin Cullen to eat McDonald’s up to four times a week last year. “He was one of the most personal and outgoing servicepeople that Duke has,” Cullen said. “He put a fantastic face on McDonald’s.” Perez has seen the location go through its ups and downs. The destruction of the Bryan Center walkway “is killing us, especially at nighttime,” Perez said. Moreover, the release of Super Size Me, a film that chronicles the physical
deterioration of a man who ate nothing but McDonald’s for 30 consecutive days, made many people question the restaurant’s commitment to nutrition. The corporation added healthier items to the menu because of the film —but Perez said the most popular items are still hamburgers, fries and crispy chicken strips. “Some people will order eight double cheeseburgers,” Perez said, adding that he believes such eating habits are destructive no matter where the food is from. “You have to ask yourself, ‘Why would I eat three to four quarterpounders if I know I would be full after one?’” he added. Perez noted that he eats McDonalcfs food every day, and he is in perfectly healthy condition.

With 27 points and a rabid home crowd waiting to explode with the inevitable three-pointer that would break Duke’s scoring record, JJ. Redick came off a high screen and... passed? Redick, facing a double team, kicked the ball to Josh Mcßoberts, who swun g it to a wideqante open Greg Paulus. 3H3IySIS Paulus misfired on the three, but Shelden Williams got the put-back as his defender was late rotating back from Redick. Although Redick needed only one deep shot to break Johnny Dawkins’ career scoring record in front of the Cameron Crazies and several family members, you wouldn’t have known it. The All-American senior had 22 points at halftime, but did not force a single bad shot against Miami’s high-pressure defense. Instead, Redick found open teammates when he drew double teams and showed the patience that has been the defining characteristic of his remarkable senior campaign. “It opened up other areas, which he’s fine with,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I wouldn’t have expected anything different from him. I didn’t even know where it was, that he needed one more three or whatever. We called one thing for him and he hit it, and then when everyone screamed, I guessed that was it because he’s not saying anything like, ‘get "

High-scoring Ist quarter sparks Duke victory by

ALYSSA KAHN/THE CHRONICLE
The Blue Devilsbraved low temperatures Saturday in an easy victory over visiting Butler.
The No. 2 men’s lacrosse team started its season on a high note Saturday, defeating the Butler Bulldogs by a final score of 20-3. On a cold day and a wintry mix falling that contributed BUTLER to 103 ground balls between the DUKE 20 two teams, the Blue Devils (1-0) bested the Bulldogs (01) in almost every facet of the game. “I don’t really think that the conditions had much to do with the outcome certainly or the play,” Duke head coach Mike PreSsler said. “I thought our guys really reacted very well to them and that was evident in the first quarter score. It was a little colder, a little more inclement than we usually have enjoyed here in the last couple weeks, and certainly our guys were really happy to open the season.” Duke scored its first goal two minutes into the game on a shot from Matt Zash assisted by Kyle Dowd. The Blue Devils never looked back. The team scored the first seven goals of the contest and had already opened up a 9-1 lead by the end of the first quarter. Butler scored its first goal with 1:58 remaining in the first quarter, but Dowd answered less than a minute later with a goal of his own. Dowd finished with four goals on the day to lead all scorers. Zash, Dan Flannery, and Zack Greer all had three goals apiece, while 10 Blue Devils finished with at least one. Despite the prolific goal scoring,
Pressler was more pleased with another important facet of the game—faceoffs. “That’s one of the key things, and I thought we did very well at that certainly in the second half,” Pressler said. “I think we were 18-for-26 overall, but I would say the player that really stepped up was Dan Oppedisano, our junior faceoff guy. He was 9-for-l 1 with six grounders. You look at the goals by Dowd and Flannery and Zash and those guys, we kind of expect that from those fellas, but for Opped to go 9-of-11 that was a key for us.” Looking toward the rest of the season, Pressler stressed the importance of faceoffs for his team’s prolific offense. “One of our No. 1 objectives this year is to improve our faceoff percentage,” Pressler said. “We were sub-50 percent a year ago at 48 and if we can get that up to the high 50s, maybe to 60 percent consistendy, that’s going to mean six, seven more possessions per game for what we think is a pretty good offense.” This year’s Duke team returns nine starters from its national runner-up squad of a year ago, and it has nine preseason AllAmericans on its roster. Last year’s team finished with a Duke-record 17 wins and a perfect 3-0 ACC regular-season record before falling to Johns Hopkins in the national title game. “Our guys were really hungry to get going,” Pressler said. “It was eight months since they left Lincoln Financial Field, and when we walked off the field and lost the National Championship. It’s no secret that the old phrase of ‘finish unfinished business’ is certainly in their minds.”

The women’s lacrosse team took no time securing the lead in its win over No. 18 Richmond Sunday, scoring just nine seconds into play to kick off an 18-8 victory. In the win for Duke (2-0), senior Katie Chrest tied the DUKE .1® Blue Devils’ caRICHMOND -8 reer goal record. Her six goals in the contest tied Tricia Martin with 161 career goals. “Neither she nor I even realized she had tied the record,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “We were just really happy, and she’s probably one of the best, or the best, player our program has had.” Chrest’s effort was part of an overall strong performance by Duke’s offense, which had a 42-22 shot advantage for the game over the Spiders (0-1). “Any time Katie has a day like that means our whole offense had a great day,” Kimel said. “Our whole unit played really we 11.... We kept it unsettled and out-oftransitionand read each other well, which I think resulted in the bulk of our goals.” The Blue Devils took control off the first draw, and junior Michelle Menser scored nine seconds into the game. Richmond came back fighting, scoring 46 seconds later. The teams then scored two goals apiece, including Chrest’s first, to tie the game, 3-3. “It was an intense game, truthfully, it was what we expected from Richmond,” Kimel said. “They’re going to give us a fight for 60 minutes.” Duke took charge of the game from there on, though, dominating the rest of the half with a 6-1 run to lead 9-4 after 30 minutes. The Blue Devil offense outshot the Spiders, 24-12, in the half. “We really moved the ball well down the field and pushed the tempo,” Kimel said. “It was a big step forward from our last game, and a great step towards our game against Maryland at the end of the week.” The second half opened with Duke in control, as Chrest scored an unassisted goal only 47 seconds into the period.

M.BBALL from TC page 1 Sunday night’s victory over Miami (14-12, 6-7), Dawkins, along with Athletic Director Joe Alieva and President Richard Brodhead, presented Redick with a game ball at halfcourt. “I just think it’s great that Johnny was here, and Johnny’s his coach,” Krzyzewski said. ‘You have two of the greatest players in the history of Duke basketball right there at center court with our A.D. and President. That’s a nice picture.” Moments after hitting the shot to pass the associate head coach, senior Lee Melchionni deflected the ball out of bounds at the Miami baseline, forcing a media timeout. The sellout crowd gave Redick a standing ovation and the student band remained silent as the Cameron Crazies serenaded the senior with bows and the traditional “JJ. Redick... Dy-no-mite” cheer. “It took everything in my will power to hold back tears,” Redick said. “This is a day that I’ve dreamed of and to do it at home was great.” With the game tied at 28 and just over seven minutes remaining in the first half, Redick drove the lane and drew a foul. The senior’s two free throws sparked a 208 Duke run and gave the Blue Devils an insurmountable advantage after the Miami defense had kept the Hurricanes in the game early. Facing a zone defense for extended periods of time in the first half, Duke struggled passing the ball, and at one point, committed turnovers on three consecutive possessions. “We were anxious,” senior guard Sean Dockery said. “When you see a team playing zone, you get excited. So we were just anxious, trying to make plays that are not fit for us and forcing passes. But we are a mature team and we showed maturity every game. We stopped [making mistakes] and then executed well and got our shots.” Redick scored 22 points in the first period and sophomore DeMarcus Nelson notched 11 points and drained several key three-pointers before the break. The Blue Devils racked up a season-best 59 points in the first half despite their nine turnovers. Forward Josh Mcßoberts served as another weapon in Duke’s fast start. His alley-oop dunk with 2:50 remaining in the half extended the Duke lead to 14 and accounted for two of only 11 points in the
SPORTSWRAP
paint by the Blue Devils in the first half. The freshman finished with 14 points, added seven rebounds and was an impressive 9-for-l 1 from the free-throw line. Mcßoberts started the season hitdng less than half his shots from the charity stripe, but has shot 82 percent from the line in his last six games. The improvement at the line has coincided with a drastic improvement in his all-around performance—Mcßoberts scored in double figures for the fourth time in six contests. “He’s comfortable now, he looks like a veteran,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s going to continue to improve. The last month, he has a feel for what it takes. He likes being out there, he’s comfortable. It’s reflected right away in free-throw shooting.” NOTES: The win clinched Duke at least a share of the regular-season ACC title with N.C. State. Having topped the Wolfpack Jan. 18, the win also guarantees Duke the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament in Greensboro March 9-12.... Redick passed Dawkins and Rodney Monroe to move into second place on the ACC’s all-time scoring list. He is 30 points away from tying Dickie Hemric’s league record of 2,587 career points.... Shavlik Randolph and Chris Duhon were both in attendance.... Freshman Jordan Davidson scored his first points at Duke when he connected on a three with 27 seconds remaining.

Currie helps Duke escape Miami in 20T by
Galen Vaisman
Senior sets new Blue Devil record in sloppy victory
THE CHRONICLE
CORAL GABLES, Fla.—With close to 12 seconds remaining in overtime and the score tied at 78, every eye in the BankUnited Center was on one Blue Devil player— Monique Currie. The National Player of the Year candidate was approaching her career high of points, and QQ DUKE Zr had just received 93 a pass from point MIAMI guard Lindsey Harding for the potentially game-winning basket in the low post. But the ball bounced off Currie’s feet and rolled out ofbounds with 10 seconds to play, giving Miami a chance to stun No. 1 Duke. With the seconds counting down and no timeouts left, Miami point guard Renee Taylor drove down the lane with the hope of converting a layup or drawing a foul. The 5-foot-2 guard, however, was blocked by Harding with one second remaining to send the game into double overtime. “When we have the ball with 10 seconds left and playing at home, you got to win the game,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. “I thought that was huge. That was our opportunity.” Once the second overtime started, Currie found plenty of opportunities to redeem herself for her gaffe at the end of the first. The senior scored 13 points and shot 10-for-10 from the free-throw line in the second overtime to finish the game with a school-record 43. Her effort lifted Duke (24-1, 12-1 in the ACC) to a 99-93 win over Miami (15-11, 5-8) . Currie also went a career-high 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and missed only one free throw the entire afternoon.

me the ball.’” Redick did eventually get the ball and the record with 4:15 remaining in the contest. Coming out of a timeout, Duke ran a set play in which the senior came off a Lee Melchionni screen. Anthony Harris, who had blanketed Redick for the majority of the second half, cut to the high side of the pick, expecting Redick to curl off the screen as he often does. Redick instead faded to the corner and DeMarcus Nelson delivered the pass, setting up Redick’s picture-perfect shot to push his career point total to 2,557, one ahead of Dawkins. Miami did everything it could defensively to stop Redick from setting the milestone in Cameron. After Redick’s fast start that included two trifectas in 10 seconds, the Hurricanes switched to a zone defense that consistently shaded toward Redick and left open Nelson, who went 3-for-5 from beyond the arc in the first half. “They went to that zone and it’s tougher to find shots against a zone, it really is,” Redick said. “Everybody thinks a shooter likes a zone, but with the way they extended and really shadowed me, it was difficult to find shots in that zone.” By the second half, Duke had figured out the Miami zone and head coach Frank Haith used Harris to cover Redick all over the court. In addition, Redick drew a double team nearly every time he touched the ball and scored his only two-pointer of the

When Monique Currie scored just two points against Virginia Feb. 10, the worst offensive output of her career, freshman guard Abby Waner said she was not worried about CIcHTI Currie’s sub-par peratiaiySlS formance, despite the ugly stat line After setting a new career high in points for the second consecutive game, it is safe to say that Waner was right—Mo’s back and better than ever. Six days after scoring a then-careerhigh 31 points against Maryland Feb. 13, Currie was unstoppable Sunday, night as she poured in a Duke-record 43 points in the Blue Devil’s 99-93 double-overtime win at Miami. On a night when her Duke teammates were far from playing their best, Currie delivered. “I think she’s always played her best basketball when we needed her most,” Blue Devil head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She always rises to the occasion and I think this was an example of that. We needed every point that she scored for us.” Currie set the record shooting 1 l-for-18 from the field and 15-for-16 from the free throw line. Her 43 points surpassed Alana Beard’s previous school record of 41 against Virginia in 2003. She also set a career-high for three-pointers, going 6-for-9 from beyond the arc, besting her previous high of three in a game. After Duke allowed the Hurricanes to

Hurricane double. “I had 27, and coach Haith called for a box-and-one, so I don’t know,” Reclick said of the increased defensive attention. “It’s all part of being competitive. I’m not saying he did that on purpose.” Despite their efforts, the Hurricanes could not stop history. Redick broke Dawkins’ 20-year-old school record and is now just 31 points away from breaking the ACC record, which was set more than a half-century ago by Wake Forest’s Dickie Hemric. Senior Sean Dockery said he expects Redick to be 70 before his record is broken. “As a very naive freshman, I thought maybe I had a shot to do this,” Redick said. “But things didn’t happen the way I wanted my first two years, and I pretty much lost all focus on this record and put it on the backburner. It’s funny how things work out like that.” His willingness to give up the ball even with a chance to make history showed the record was truly not his focus Sunday evening. It’s largely this unselfishness that has caused Redick’s teammates to show genuine happiness for his accomplishments, even if they have had to stay on the court after two straight games as Redick has been presented with game balls. “I feel like I did it—he is a brother of mine, and he really deserves it,” Dockery said. “I was just telling him, ‘We’re not going to have any more balls to warm up Even with the pressure of passing Johnny Dawkins, JJ.

After Columbia soundly defeatedDuke Saturday, the Blue Devils bounced back later in the day to capture a close victory against Harvard in the first-ever Hall of Fame weekend hosted by the Lions. Duke quickly recovered from its 30-7 defeat against Columbia (8-8), and found itself tied 21-21 with Harvard after a hardfought, back-and-forth match with one bout remaining. In the deciding 197-pound weight class, Harvard wresder Billy Colgan began the match physically and had an early takedown against Duke sophomore Konrad Dudziak. Colgan created a gash above Dudziak’s eye, forcing the Blue Devils to call timeout to administer treatment. But once Duke wrapped up his eye, Dudziak dominated the rest of the match for a 5-1 victory in the bout to give the Blue Devils (3-11) a 24-21 win. “With Konrad, we knew it was up in the air because they had never wrestled before,” head coach Clar Anderson said. “We knew it could have gone either way.” After the loss to Columbia, Duke had little time to despair before they took on Harvard (5-9-1), which boasts three nationally-ranked wresders at the 131-pound, 141-pound and heavyweight classes. Even though the Blue Devils were facing such staunch competition, Anderson said he felt his team matched up better against Harvard than against Columbia,
ils up 12-10. “[The Crimson] were shocked when we pinned them at 141 because Meltzer was undefeated,” Anderson said. “They expected to defeat us because they had beaten Columbia which had handled us.” The Blue Devils rode the momentum and were hanging onto a 15-13 lead until sophomore Aaron Glover suffered a technical fall against Andrew Flanagan, which put Duke down 18-15. Once again, the Blue Devils rallied with an inspirational victory. In the 174-pound weight class, senior Levi Craig was taken down early by Wesley Walker. Anderson said when Craig fell behind early he dreaded a loss that would likely cost Duke the match against Harvard. But Craig turned the bout around when he pinned Walker to give the Blue Devils six points and a 21-18 lead. “That was a huge victory for us,” Anderson said. “We knew that their 184-pounder was really good, and if Craig had lost, it would have been a nine-point swing that would have been difficult to overcome.” After the Blue Devils lost the next-tolast match in the 184-pound weight class, they took home their third victory of the season on Dudziak’s win. The Blue Devils wrap up the regular season against Princeton Friday before they compete in the ACC Tournament March 4.

Ness sets school record, Duke finishes 10th Lane Towery THE CHRONICLE
by
The women’s swimming and diving team, led by senior Katie Ness, continued its record-setting ways over the weekend at
the ACC Championships, hosted by the University of Maryland. But the Blue Devils’ best was not enough as Duke (5-6, 1-5
in the ACC) finished in 10th place out of 11 conference programs. “One of our goals was to move up at the ACCs—so we fell short of that,” head coach Dan Colella said. “But it was great to hear other coaches commenting on the energy of our team.” Ness, swimming the first leg of the 400yard medley relay, broke a Duke record for the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.33 Friday. She had previously held the record with a time of 55.47 seconds, a mark she set her freshman year. “I think that was probably one of the highlights of the meet for her and the group,” Colella said. It marked the third day in a row that a school record was topped after the 200-yard medley relay and the 200-yard freestyle relay beat the program’s previous best times Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Ness shined for Duke during the fourday meet, contributing 108 of the Blue Devils’ 160 points with her individual and relay efforts. Besides setting the school record, the senior also finished fourth in the 100-yard butterfly, fourth in the 200yard individual medley and third in Saturday’s 200-yard butterfly—Duke’s only topthree finish of the meet. “Katie swam great with the good finish-
es in the 100 and 200 butterflies, and then setting the school record,” Colella said. “Those performances were a great way of finishing up the competition.” Ness clocked four NCAA provisional times—in the 100-yard butterfly, the 200yard butterfly, the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard individual medley. A provisional time makes her eligible to be selected by the NCAAfor the National Championship meet held at the University of Georgia in March. Few other Duke swimmers made it past the preliminary heats during the weekend. Sophomore Danielle Spearman finished 11th in the 100-yard backstroke and 21st in the 200-yard backstroke, a race in which freshman Erin Frizzell placed 19th. JuniorJackie Rodriguez finished 15th in the 1650-yardfreestyle and 13th in the 200yard breaststroke to round out the scoring. “Obviously we want to have more individuals in final heats and national championships,” Colella said. In all, the Blue Devil’s posted 19 careerbest times over four days. “We’re always looking for a high percentage of people looking for season or lifetime bests,” Colella said. “I think it was a solid weekend.” Even with the disappointing lOth-place finish, Colella remained positive with his team’s overall effort. “It’s not all about scoring points,” he said. “It was a great weekend growing as a team. We moved forward in terms of seeing what it’s going to take to keep moving up in the standings.”

Blue Devils, who head coach Jay Lapidus said should move up in the rankings after their weekend performance, captured the first point in doubles before entering singles competition. “After we won the doubles point, I felt that we really came out in singles,” Lapidus said. “And it really gave us a lot of momentum going into the singles. We had a great weekend, and I’m really proud of the guys.” In a close 3-3 contest against Baylor Friday, the Blue Devils looked for the decisive fourth point from freshman Kiril Dimitrov, who came from behind to defeat No. 94 Vladimir Portnov, 1-6, 6-4, 7-5. “He showed a lot of poise for a freshman coming down to his match against the

Duke was doing a really smart job of covering for her. We were trying to isolate her and penetrate, and she just never bit.” Miami forced overtime with a furious comeback in the final 36 seconds of regulation. With Duke up 72-65, Taylor hit a three-pointer to close the gap to four. After Harding missed a pair offree throws, Tamara James was fouled by Wanisha Smith and converted both of her shots. Currie made l-of-2 free throws on the next possession, and the Hurricanes grabbed the defensive rebound and found

defending champions of the tournament,” Lapidus said. “He showed some amazing amount of maturity and poise.”
The Bulgarian, who played the fifth singles position against Baylor, moved up to the fourth spot in the Florida contest the next day and sealed Duke’s 4-1 win, coming up with what Lapidus said was “some great stuffunder pressure.” The doubles pairs of No. 9 Joey Atas and Jonathan Stokke, and Stephen Amritraj and Peter Rodrigues, who had been victorious in the Blue Devils’ first two matches, were unable to convert Sunday against Pepperdine, losing their matches 8-5 and 8-4, respectively. Sophomore Ned Samuelson faltered in a third-set tiebreaker, 7-4, and the loss gave the Waves its fourth and final point in the contest. “Pepperdine and Illinois, to be honest, I think are the top two teams in the country,” Lapidus said. “The teams are young and the rankings are deceiving. I think the new rankings will reflect some of these changes.” First singles player Ludovic Walter, a senior, won all three of his matches this weekend. Atas suffered a rib injury playing doubles Saturday and relinquished his singles spot for the day. He returned to the court for doubles the following day against Pepperdine but reinjured his rib on a serve at 5-4 and up a break. He and his partner Stokke lost the next four games to drop the match. Katie Hayek open in the corner for a potentially game-tying three. Although her shot clanked off the front of the rim, Hayek managed to grab her own rebound and get the ball to James, who was then fouled by Smith, sending the ACC’s leading scorer to the line to shoot three free throws with 3.6 seconds left. . James hit all three, despite Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors calling a timeout between the second and third. “My heart was beating so fast,” James said. “I was nervous—anybody who tells you they aren’t nervous, they lie.” Currie’s record-setting performance in overtime masked what was otherwise a poor offensive showing for the Blue Devils, who shot 44 percent from the field in the second half. The team committed a season-high 26 turnovers on the afternoon, including nine by Harding. “They played great defense and pressure, but it was just our lack of focus,” Harding said. “I had way too many turnovers—a couple times we were just throwing the ball away or just being lazy.” Duke had several chances to put the Hurricanes away in the second half, but several mistake-filled Blue Devils’ possessions allowed Miami to stay in the game. During one stretch in the second half, Duke capitalized on a sevenminute Hurricane scoring drought to open up a 14 point lead. Miami, however, never gave up, and slowly wore away the Blue Devils’ advantage before the game’s frenzied finish. “We watched enough tape to know they were really scrappy,” Goestenkors said. “When they get on a roll they can score a lot of points very quickly. They got on a good roll tonight. The longer they stayed with us, I thought, the more confidence they gained.”

Peter Rodrigues lost his doublesmatch against Pepperdine in the semifinals of the National Team indoors.
CURRIE from page 5 fight back at the end of both regulation and the first overtime period, Currie almost single-handedly defeated Miami in the second overtime period, scoring 13 of the Blue Devil’s 21 points. Protecting a small lead down the stretch, Duke attempted to get the ball to Currie every possession, knowing the Hurricanes had to foul to have a chance at the victory. She was fouled five times in the final five minutes, shot a perfect 10-for-10 from the line and hit a key three-pointer to break an 80-80 tie with 3:29 remaining in the extra period to put the Blue Devils up for good. “I needed to make sure things were under control, I thought if I could get the ball then I could score,” Currie said. “I think at times like that my team looks to me to try to put the ball in the basket.” Duke turned the ball over 26 times, a season high, and—with the exception of Currie’s near-flawless performance shot poorly from the line. At the end of the second half, Chante Black and Lindsey Harding missed five free throws to let Miami come back from a once 16-point deficit. Likewise, in the first overtime, Wanisha Smith struggled from the charity stripe, making just one offour shots as the Hurricanes again rallied to tie the game. Besides Currie, the rest of the Blue Devils shot just 56-percent from the free-throw line. “We’re usually a very good free-throw shooting team so I was a little disappointed with our free throws,” Goestenkors said. “I think we really had a lack of focus tonight on both ends of the court, and I think one place it shows up is free throws.” What makes Currie’s performance —
LAURA BETH
DOUGLAS/THE CHRONICLE
Mistie Williams scored 12 points in 36 minutes in the Blue Devils'double-overtime win. even more impressive is the fact that she received her fourth foul less than six minutes into the second half and still played phenomenally over the final 17 minutes of the game without receiving another. “I had to be a lot more careful, Coach G said if I didn’t play defense then she would take me out of the game,” Currie said. “I just tried to be careful and not get any silly fouls like I’d gotten previously.” Despite her foul trouble, Currie repeatedly attacked the hoop and continued to play aggressively, ripping down six boards in 40 minutes of play. The senior also moved up five spots to No. 14 on the all-time ACC scoring list with 1,965 career points. “She’s very mature and smart and plays with so much poise,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. “That was the kid that we didn’t want to beat us and she still beat us so I think that’s important. Tip your hat to her.”

CHAIRS from page 1 2004 His goal since taking over as dean has been to add 30 additional endowed chairs—a priority he said will be built into the next strategic plan. “This is a great mechanism to reward great faculty who are great scholars, mentors and teachers,” McLendon said. In addition to using these positions to sustain faculty size without a financial trade-off, they are also a method for recruiting professors to join Duke’s faculty. McLendon attributed Duke’s small number of distinguished professorships to its age, noting that many of the University’s peer schools have had hundreds of years to raise funds for endowing chairs. “Too small a percentage of our faculty [are in endowed positions]. It’s pretty modest for a university of Duke’s quality,” he said. “We need those chairs to enable us to build strength in some areas enable us to focus resources.” The positions, however, will not come —
cheaply—endowed professorships typically cost around $1 million. This summer, Duke raised the price of a fully endowed position from $1.5 million to $2.5 million, The Wall Street Journal reported in a July 7 article “People who give do it for a variety of different reasons,” McLendon said. “Alumni, parents or someone who just wants a connection with Duke may decide to do it.”
-
Lange expressed confidence in McLendon’s fundraising abilities, even in the face of the $3OO-million Financial Aid Initiative, which is drawing donors who would normally be approached for endowing a new chair. “He’s very good at going to people and explaining why it’s both very desirable for Arts and Sciences and would be very attractive to the donor to endorse a chair,” Lange said. Deciding which faculty members will receive the endowed positions is in the hands of the Distinguished Professor Committee—a group made up of faculty from all aspects of the University. The peer-led process is rare in higher education, McLendon said. Schools more commonly will make recommendations within departments, with appointments ultimately being decided by deans. “[Duke’s] method is unusual but not unique,” McLendon added. “[But there are] advantages to Duke’s way. This way when someone gets a chair, they know it’s been through a vigorous process.” While most endowed chairs are established within particular departments, there are notable exceptions. James B. Duke professorships are University-wide, and next year, they will make up 16 of the endowed chairs in Arts and Sciences. In addition, the Bass Society of Fellows for Excellence in Teaching and Resuperb search—which recognizes teacher-scholars at the Universityawards positions with five-year terms.

EMILY K from page 4 “Dream, Do, Achieve.” In his speech, Krzyzewski emphasized the importance of the three principles. “We want to let the kids share their dreams and figure out how those dreams can become reality,” he said. “Kids can look outside their community and believe they can succeed, too.” Rogers outlined academics, health and fitness, leadership and service and performance arts as the center’s four major foci. The center aims to foster achievement in these areas through after-school programs, summer camps and partnerships with other community organizations. Academic success will be the program’s cornerstone, Rogers said, because children from low-income families are often several grade levels behind their middleincome peers. Many of the scheduled summer programs, including a performing arts camp and a basketball camp run by former Duke basketball players Jason Williams and Chris Duhon, will require a certain level of academic achievement from children wishing to enroll. Rogers said that the center will focus strongly on developing leadership in addition to creating pathways to success for children. “If we do this right, we will see kids that can be leaders like Coach K,” Rogers said. “I realized that this wasn’t just a community center, that it could develop future leaders.” Plans for the center began with Father David Mcßriar of the Immaculate Conception Church, which is located next to the Emily K facility. Mcßriar approached Krzyzewski about constructing a community gym for the area back in 2001. Krzyzewski—who said his community center back in Chicago, 111., was a key to his development as a child—worked with

The 29,000-square-foot Emily Krzyzewski Family Life Center will strive to help children and their families in the local Durham community, emphasizing health and fitness, leadership and service, the performing arts and, above all, academic. The center has numerous scholarship programs and will provide services free of charge for those who cannot afford to pay. Center CEO and President Marleah Rogers listed some of its specific assets: —Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership's HOPE after-school program —A summer basketball and leadership camp run by former Duke basketball stars Chris Duhon and Jason Williams -—Scholarship program to help children attend enrichment camps, alternative schools or programs run by partnering organizations —Resources to accommodate a growing Latino population. —A gym with the floor from the 2001 NCAA basketball National Championship game in Minneapolis, donated by Duke Stores —Basketball fundamentals and fitness programs —A three-week summer performing arts camp and a performance stage named 'Emily's Stage' by Disney —A daytime "Tots Take a Bow" program for toddlers and pre-K children, where Duke pediatrics residents will observe the children and advise parents —Leslie Griffith
Mcßriar to expand the vision into its current form. “Father Mcßriar had a dream,” Krzyzewski said. “I had to say yes.” Originally, the center was to be called the Birch Ave. Community Center, but Krzyzewski decided on the final name. “I named it after my mom so people understand that you don’t get there alone,” he said. “For kids, the most important people in your life are your mom and dad,” he added. “My mom did her best all the time, even with an eighth-grade education. She taught me that even when you’re poor, you can always give and make people feel at home.” Rogers said her family has been close to Krzyzewski for many years. Her father, retired Col. Tom Rogers, has known the coach
since Krzyzewski was a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point. “Coach is in a position now to give hack to his community,” Rogers said. “His center was a gateway and a pathway to his success, and this center is all about creating that pathway for the kids we serve.” Krzyzewski is not the only individual giving back to the community. The center relies on private and in-kind donations for its funding, Rogers said, and 85 percent of donations have come from outside the Durham community. Krzyzewski lauded this aspect of the center. ‘We’re getting lots of money from outside sources, so other community centers aren’t losing community money,” he said. Many of the donors, Rogers said, are athletes or leaders in the sports community. Fig-

She also noted that the center will not be connected to the University through Krzyzewski alone. The Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership, the Hart Leadership Program, Duke Corporate Education and medical residents in pediatrics ate are also affiliated. Krzyzewski said the accomplishment of building the center outweighed his achievements on the basketball court. “If you can win a championship, that’s cool,” he said. “But if you can spark a dream in a kid, you’re part of a human team.”

ing as they expand. However, Dean seems entrenched in programming minutiae and event planning, rather than considering how to shape the entirety of Duke for the better. The Board needs a Young Trustee whose primary focus will be able to shift off the graduate and professional school community. Justin Klein is another qualified candidate who would bring a wealth of knowledge about the University to the Board. Having been involved in the community as an undergraduate student, alumnus, employee and graduate student Klein has looked at Duke through a multitude of lenses. Klein said he would not be a Board member who arrived with an agenda, but he also seems to lack any new or creative ideas for bettering the school. The Chronicle formally endorses Ryan Nolan for graduate and professional student Young Trustee.

It
is not easy being a student leader. Just ask Duke Student Government. The only popular elected student governing body, DSG is supposed to serve the best interests of the students—and that is exactly what it has done with regard to ARAMARK Corp. After speaking with students, listening to a company presadam yoffie entation and examunited we stand ining performances at other institutions, DSG offered a “no confidence” vote for the third consecutive year. We cannot fault DSG for apathy or even misplaced priorities. Our elected representatives have remained persistent and vigilant. The only problem is that they lack any substantive power. Thus even with the support of Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, and the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, it is unclear whetherany meaningful change will transpire at the end of the year when ARAMARK’s contract expires. Yet DSG, at least, appears to be kept abreast of administrative maneuvering and is under no illusion that its vote is binding. Campus Council, on the other hand, cannot even be considered a pawn of the administration since it seems to have no idea what Residential Life and Housing Services director Eddie Hull is doing. Although it is still unclear what happened vis-a-vis the housing moratorium, we know that Dean Hull made a unilateral decision to create two new fraternity sections without offering any rationale for his actions. Baffled by Hull’s decision, Campus Council leaders then understandably declared an end to the housing moratorium, which Hull had seemingly nullified. Yet shortly thereafter, Hull claimed that the moratorium was in fact still in place, thus officially making a mockery of the Campus Council leadership. It is true that Campus Council organized a successful event in Cameron, but it should have left that to the Duke University Union, the most productive governing body thisyear. Running enjoyable student programming, however, is a far cry from enacting serious policy change. Cynicism aside, there is some room for optimism. During the past six weeks, student activists have scored two stunning victories. By this point, the story of housekeeper Olivia Vaughn, “From fired to re-hired,” has been extensively covered in the campus press and
reached near mythic status on student listservs. But Duke Organizing is not the only student group making tangible gains in the realm of administrative policy. A recent front-page Chronicle article highlighted the continued success of the group Students Against Sweatshops, which steered the University toward adopting a more worker-friendly apparel policy. Founded at Duke more than five years ago, the tireless group of activists continues to press for and achieve improved working conditions abroad. The Environmental Alliance, meanwhile, is making serious strides towards implementing a more eco-friendly printer policy that will simultaneously save thousands of dollars and cut down on the wasteful destruction of our ecosystem. Reflecting on these instances of triumphant student activism, I began searching for a common thread—and then it dawned on me. Contrary to my assertions two weeks ago about the waning influence of the “Left” on campus, I realized that left-leaning student groups are the only ones effecting tangible change. It’s true that the radical “Right” is loud and obnoxious—we have all been bombarded by Duke Conservative Union fliers—but the reality is that they favor show over substance. Outside of bringing right-wing speakers to campus, these “activists” spend all their time denouncing the alleged leftwing bias on campus and pushing academic freedom pledges on faculty members. I have no doubt that such propaganda will serve these future politicians down the line, but I also know that it will do little good on a campus dominated by an entrenched bureaucracy that severely limits the reach of student leaders. Duke Organizing is already spearheading a strong coalition of left-wing groups on this campus pushing for a healthier working environment and a living wage indexed to inflation for all Duke-affiliated workers. Thus I propose that the Duke Conservative Union and College Republicans, the leading right-wing student groups on campus, join this coalition in order to make a real difference in people’s lives by altering administrative policy. This is a bipartisan issue that has the potential to unite the entire student body. So whether in the name ofChristian morality or just for the purpose of getting those “damn poor people” off of Medicaid, the fight for a living wage offers the “Right” an excellent opportunity to move beyond righteous rhetoric and join a left-leaning coalition that knows how to get things done.

of The Chronicle’s weekly humor columnist will be included at the bottom of his/her/their work. This is not a punishment for the comment aboutAsian students in the Pratt School of Engineering published in last week’s humor column—a comment that has garnered much attention and criticism. While this writer’s and previous humorists’ work are certainly contributing factors to our decision, the abolition of Monday, Monday’s anonymity—now and perhaps in the future—is something we have long pondered. The decision is twofold. First, it is an action ensuring that every writer for this paper funny or unfunny—is held responsible for his or her words. Secondly, it reflects our view that the anonymous qualifier for Monday, Monday has been abused. We have seen some writers surpass their stated function as incisive, insightful and witty social commentators, veering off into the absurd, defamatory and humorless. And while we do not see the need to yank Monday, Monday off our pages right now, it is time to do something about the structure of this column. The sheer number of news outlets in the world today means the consumers of news are literally bombarded with information. Readers and viewers have to sift through that wealth of information instead of tacitly accepting everything as true. Those same readers and viewers will thus go to the most credible and reliable sources for their news (or, in this case, for their laughs). Without transparency and accountability to readers, a publi—

and insight into their production processes; we have watched as they detail source relationships or explain their reasoning for including some news stories over others. But the days of trust between consumers and producers of news are not over—hardly. With the abundance and sheer speed of information dissemination today, a newspaper must provide a little more information in order to earn—and keep—that trust. This means ensuring that the right people are held accountable, and it means keeping our readers informed when we make such changes. It is about defogging the frosted window between us. We are no longer living in “the age of information”—this is the age of all the information. We are a volunteer-run publication entirely independent of the University. Without a reputation of credibility, we would not only cease to be read—we would cease to exist. Were we journalistically unsound, the manpower bringing you these few newsprint pages would dwindle and, ultimately, disappear. Achieving a good reputation is one of the incentives we have to do what we do—and if we didn’t think we could do it, I doubt any of us would be here. It is thus my hope you will take this action in the name of greater transparency and credibility—a way to serve you best by giving you all facts. In a community collectively pursuing erudition, what could be more important? Sarah Ball is The Chronicle’s editorialpage editor.

lettertotheeditor Line policy for senior game confusing We are writing on behalf of all seniors who obtained wristbands yet were unjusdy turned away from the Duke vs. Miami game Sunday night. Seniors were told in an e-mail sent Friday that if we showed up to Krzyzewskiville between the hours of 10 p.m.' and midnight that we could get a wristband for the game. While waiting in line for the wristbands, a chaotic mob scene broke out due to the lack of organization or any attempt ofleadership by the designated line monitors. The seniors at the front of this unorganized event offered the suggestion to create two lines instead of one in order to expedite the process. Again, the line monitors failed to keep any sort of order and mass
hysteria ensued in the second line. Disturbed by this frustrating scene, at least we were able to leave K-ville knowing that our wristbands held us a spot in Cameron on Sunday night for our very last Duke men’s basketball game. How wrong we were. When we arrived at K-ville at 4:30 p.m., we were rudely turned away by line monitors who were again failing to communicate properly with those waiting. One monitor snidely said, “If you could listen to directions then you would have known you were supposed to be here at 3:30. Even the website said that.” She admittedly was not at the event Saturday night when absolutely no directions were given to seniors. As seniors who never tented, we did
not
know we had to check a website. If
anything, we assumed all the needed de-
tails of the event would be included in the senior e-mail. Saturday night, there were a set number of wristbands that were given to seniors in order to fill Cameron. Why did they then put the seniors who had wristbands at the end of the line of people waiting without wristbands on Sunday? What was the point of us waiting Saturday night if we were just put in the back of the second line Sunday, destined to be turned away? Fundamentally, we felt that the line monitors did not want us in the game. For whatever reason, they did not respect us or our wristbands. They were working against us, not for us, by letting in those students at 4 p.m. who did not
have wristbands It was our Senior Night. We, as seniors, earned this night to have fun and enjoy ourselves and support all of the senior basketball players. But instead, here we are, writing a letter to the editor of The Chronicle in hopes that seniors in the future will be able to experience what was taken from us by the miscommunication, terrible organization and misguided intentions of the line monitors.
