A Duke education may be priceless, but the Board of Trustees approved a 4.5-percent increase in the cost of tuition, fees and room and board for undergraduate students Friday.

This increase brings the total cost of attending Duke next year to $43,115 —up $1,876 from this year.

The Board—the University’s highest governing body—also approved a 5.7-percent increase in undergraduate financial aid.

It is estimated that the school will spend approximately $5B million on financial aid next year, about $3 million more than in the 2005-2006 school year.

What the University provides is not a “static commodity,” President Richard Brodhead said. “We are certainly committed to have the door be open to anyone who can have the talent and drive to go here,” he added, emphasizing his commitment to an issue he

has listed as a top priority since arriving at Duke in July 2004.

The cost of attending Duke’s graduate and professional schools will also increase.

The Divinity School will see the most significant percentage increase—7.s percent —while Graduate School students will see a hike of 4 percent.

The other graduate and professional schools will see increases between 4.9 and 5.9 percent.

“Duke remains one of the relatively few universities that meets a student’s full demonstrated need,” Provost Peter Lange said in a statement. “Ensuring access for qualified students is a top University priority.”

Lange cited the Financial Aid Initiative as proof of the University’s commitment to this issue. The initiative, officially launched in December, is halfway to its goal of raising $3OO million for the endowment to fund undergraduate SEE TRUSTEES ON PAGE 6

Port deal to get extensive review by

WASHINGTON

The Homeland Security Department objected at first to a United Arab Emirates company’s taking over significant operations at six U.S. ports.

It was the lone protest among members of the government committee that eventually approved the deal without dissent.

The department’s early objections were settled later in the government’s review of the $6.8 billion deal after Dubaiowned DP World agreed to a series of security restrictions.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and other congressional leaders, the company

and George W. Bush administration officials were working on a compromise intended to derail plans by Republicans and Democrats for legislation next week that would force a new investigation of security issues relating to the deal. Talks were to continue through the weekend.

“My comfort level is good, but I have 99 other United States senators who need the opportunity to ask their questions,” Frist told the Lexington Herald-Leader before speaking at a Republican dinner Saturday evening in Lexington, Ky. “We’re behind the president 100 percent,” he added. “We believe the decision in all likelihood is absolutely the

right one.”

Under one proposal being discussed, DP World would seek new approval of the deal from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, given the company’s surprise decision Thursday to indefinitely postpone its takeover of U.S. port operations. Other proposals included a new, intensive 45-day review of the deal by the government —something the White House had refused to consider as recendy as Friday.

U.S.collects 25 medals at Olympics by

TURIN, Italy Across 16 topsy-turvy days in Turin, the U.S. Olympic team

teetered somewhere between torment and triumph, each step up to the medal stand tempered by one step back somewhere else.

There were unlikely Alpine golds from skiers Julia Mancuso and Ted Ligety. And the disaster in the mountains that was Bode Miller and his tattered reputation.

Speedskater Joey Cheek set a standard for Olympic class, winning two medals and donating his $40,000 reward from the U.S. Olympic Committee to a charity for chil-

A kid dubbed “The Flying Tomato,” Shaun White, sailed into the sky above Bardonecchia to claim a gold medal in the snowboard halfpipe. Another snowboarder, Lindsey Jacobellis, hot-dogged her way out of a gold medal in a still-stunning turn of events that typified a growing Generation X Games gap among the Americans.

Marshal revises, codifies bonfire policies 138 students by

sanctioned for fall parties

Saidi Chen

THE CHRONICLE

Only you can save Duke’s bonfire permits.

That is the message the University wants to send to students in advance of Saturday’s men’s basketball game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In a new procedure this year, Kenneth Crews, the Durham city fire marshal, has not issued official permits for the game.

Instead, he has approved a fire plan that stipulates a number of procedures to be completed before the game.

The permits won’t be issued until the last minute, said Christine Pesetski, program coordinator for the office of mediation services.

“The fire marshal isn’t going to issue the fire permits until in the fire marshals’ mind everything in the operating instruction has been fulfilled,” she said.

If rules are broken during the bonfire, Crews will revoke the permit and firefighters will be on hand to extinguish the blaze.

The plan will also apply if Duke wins the April 3 men’s national championship game or the April 4 women’s championship game.

The burden is on the University to inform the students of these policies, Crews said.

“I want to ensure that the students have been communicated as to what this plan is, and we will not deviate from this plan at all,” Crews said, emphasizing that any deviation from the fire plan will cause him to revoke the permits.

The fire marshal rescinded Duke’s permits for three games last year following the Feb. 29 men’s basketball win over UNC, when students threw more benches than were allowed onto the bonfire in celebration of the victory.

Administrators from the Office of Student Affairs, Duke University Police Department and the Occupational and Environmental Safety Office have been working with the fire marshal’s office since last fall to reach an agreement for this year’s games.

A number of other obligations listed in the fire plan have always been in place but have simply been codified this year, Wasiolek explained.

These include rules that restrict the height of the bonfire to approximately six

suspension.

The report was accompanied by a letter from Kendra Sims, the recendy appointed program coordinator for judicial affairs.

Sims’ position was created in August in response to the hundreds of Duke students that were cited in “back-to-school” operations conducted by officers from North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement.

Sims wrote in her letter that 173 of the 201 arrests and citations that occurred last fall resulted from ALE raids early in the semester.

She also attributed the higher number of arrests to increased vigilance on the part of Durham Police Department officers.

Students and long-time Trinity Park residents alike said Durham police have become more aggressive about enforcing alcohol and noise ordinances, in part due to pressure from residents’ groups.

“The neighbors are fed up with this behavior,” said Wilkie Wilson, a research professor of pharmacology and cancer biology at the Duke University Medical Center who lives on the corner of Gloria Avenue and Watts Street in Trinity Park.

“Finally the University and the Durham police cooperated to suppress it.”

The Fire Department hoses down last year's bonfire, which was deemed out ofhand by the fire marshal.

Fredric Jameson(left), was one of two Duke professors named 'dangerous'by conservative David Horowitz.

Neal SenGupta THE CHRONICLE

Professors miriam cooke and Fredric Jameson have taught at Duke for almost 50 years combined. They are also two of the most dangerous professors in the United States, according to a book by David Horowitz, conservative columnist and president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture.

In the book The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America, Horowitz lists and discusses who he considers are the most radical professors in the nation.

The list includes cooke, who does not capitalize her name and is a professor in the Department of Asian and African Languages and Literature, and Jameson, William A. Lane professor of comparative literature and romance studies and former chair of the Program in Literature.

“Instead of educating students, these professors are trying to indoctrinate them,” said Horowitz, who is also the founder of Students for Academic Free-

dom and will speak at Duke March 7.

SAF is a national organization that aims to fight what it believes is a liberal bias on

college campuses.

Horowitz’s book particularly criticizes

Jameson’s lack of sympathy for the victims

of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and for dismissing the resulting media coverage as “cheap pathos.”

In the book, Horowitz also claims that Jameson believes “Americans created [Osama] bin Laden during the Cold War”—referring to the al Qaeda leader who is believed to be connected with the Sept. 11 attacks and is among the world’s most wanted terrorists.

Horowitz also criticized Jameson’s role in developing Duke’s Marxism and Society program, of which Jameson, is a former director. Horowitz said the program was used to spread leftist influences on campus.

A campus group, however, is fighting for him to retain his job.

Duke Organizing—a group committed to changing the cultures of working, living and learning at Duke—filed a petition Feb. 20 to form a joint-Durham-and-University ad hoc review panel to examine an appeal concerning the firing of Hudson.

It’s a relatively calm afternoon at Jimmy John’s GourmetSandwich Shop—a popular restaurant on Ninth Street—and work is proceeding as usual.

The smooth sounds of a classic soul ballad blast over the speaker system, creating a casual ambiance befitting of a sandwich shop.

Bright-eyed Caitlin Burkill waits calmly at the cash register for customers, while the seemingly mild-mannered Jamie Douglas busies himself bethe counter > cutting bread and d dav y Ollt

pulling meats.

Further behind Burkill, Douglas and a few other workers sits Michael Farabee—a laid-back seven-year Jimmy John’s veteran, who said he could not have chosen a better way to bring home the bacon.

Some choose law, some medicine, some business. Others, however, take the road less traveled.

For Farabee, like coundess others, that road led to becoming a delivery driver.

“The best thing about it is the freedom,” he said.

‘You’re not stuck in a 10-by-10 space, an office or a cubicle. It’s very systematic—almost like a competition to see if I can do 15 deliveries or map the quickest route.”

Farabee, who is probably best known for greeting female patrons by bowing and saying “saleh”—the Chaldean word for “peace” —said his job definitely has its quirks.

“The beauty ofit is if you take it seriously you can make more money than the people who sit in a cubicle,” he said, adding that he once made $BOO in a six-hour shift.

“I got a new car,” he says after climbing inside his burgundy sedan, which was marred by a dented front corner caused by a deer accident. “I clipped her front legs. I was real upset about it, too. I got a $5OO deductible—I can fix it, but it’s still $5OO I’d have to make up for.”

Farabee picks up his cell phone mid-sentence.

“Jimmy John’s” is all he says to communicate that his customer needs to come outside. Farabee, dressed in sweats, saunters over to a North Carolina School of Science and Math student and returns to the car a few moments later.

“One of the most annoying things is that people don’t realize we work for tips,” he says. “People assume the delivery charge covers our tip, but it doesn’t.”

Not being tipped, however, is not the worst thing that has ever happened to Farabee on the job.

As part of a prank at the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill a few years ago, Farabee said one fraternity SEE DELIVERY ON PAGE 12

Scientists tackle conflicts of interest by

McGowan Jasten CHRONICLE THE

Can you always trust what your doctor tells you?

Many physicians will recommend particular drugs to their patients. But sometimes, these suggestions may be based on more than just professional judgement.

Even if a physician has vested financial capital with the creators of a drug, these conflicts of interest can go undisclosed to patients.

In a recent study, researchers at Duke and other universities examined how medical institutions across the nation have approached the ethical concerns raised by medical conflicts of interest. Their findings were published in the February 2006 issue ofAcademic Medicine.

The project is the first of many in the five-year Conflict of Interest Notification Study. The study, funded by a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, found that only 48 percent of academic medical centers

have formal policies in this area. Under such requirements, researchers are expected to disclose financial conflicts ofinterest to human research subjects.

“We hope to better define what a conflict ofinterest is to help academic institutions better define their policies,” said Kevin Weinfurt, lead author of the study and an assistant research professor of medical psychiatry at the Duke University Medical Center.

Conflicts of interest, as defined by the COINS study, range from corporate sponsorship of research to more direct financial ties between companies and researchers, such as stock options.

A few famous cases, including the Gelsinger case against the University of Pennsylvania and other plaintiffs, have highlighted the need for better conflict of interest rules, Weinfurt said.

citv&statebriefs UNC student dies after falling out of window A sophomore at the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill died after he and another student fell out of a third-floor window of Stacy Residence Hall early Friday morning.

Keith Shawn Smith, a resident advisor for the third floor of the dormitory, died at UNC Hospitals after the fall. Freshman Tyler Joseph Ely Downey is still in the

hospital.

Downey improved from critical to fair condition Friday and remained in fair condition Saturday at UNC Hospitals. Details of his injuries have not been released at the request of his family.

The two were reportedly running down the hallway and were unable to stop themselves from crashing through the window. They fell four floors and landed outside the concrete ramp leading to the basement’s entrance.

The window through which the students fell is 2.5 feet above the dorm floor and was covered with double-paned security glass. The window was installed about 11 years ago, when the dorm was renovated.

Workers replaced the window with identical fire-rated wired glass Friday afternoon. Officials said the window is in compliance with state building codes.

Investigators do not believe drugs, alcohol or foul play were involved.

Smith is remembered by those who knew him as an ambitious and responsible person who aspired to become a businessman.

About 40 percent of undergraduates receive need-based financial aid to attend Duke. The average grant to a recipient next year is projected to be more than $24,000, compared to $21,000 this year.

The Board also approved $5 million in changes to construction plans for the Medical Science Research

The four-story building, located on the corner of Research Drive and Erwin Road, will house biomedical research space for the Duke Human Vaccine Institute.

The institute, whose work is funded by the National Institutes of Health, is coordinating efforts across the United States to develop vaccines for HIV and other emerging infectious diseases.

The immediate goal of the vaccine institute is to develop a malaria/tuberculosis/HIV vaccine that will be put to clinical trials by the NIH. The Board also discussed plans for overhauling Central Campus. The Central Campus Planning Committee is working with architects to determine facilities and buildings and grounds needs, Brodhead said.

Both Brodhead and Robert Steel, chair of the Board, stressed that Central Campus planning involves more than just thinking about which buildings should be built where, but must also take into account what needs the buildings will fill and how Central will fit into the school as a whole.

Fred Knipper, fire and safety manager in the OESO, said the plan allows administrators and the fire marshal’s office to work together to redefine and reinforce the importance offire safety.

[Crews] just basically wanted to see enforcement of the rules and a good communication plan,” he added.

To make sure students know what is expected of them, Pesetski has been making presentations to various student groups, including greek and selective living organizations and line monitors.

“I am concerned that the word won’t reach every student,” she said.

Members of the A-Team will be manning each of the archways leading to the Main West Quadrangle to prevent unauthorized benches from being thrown onto the fire by students who become caught up in the heat of the moment, Knipper said.

“Ninety-nine percent of the benches come through those archways—we’re limiting the traffic coming through those archways,” he said.

“They will be stopped until those benches are called to be put on that fire....

When the fire marshal gives the word, [the A-Team member] will say, ‘OK, this bench can come forward.’”

Crews said the University has been cooperative in working with his office this year but stressed the need for administrators to continue to communicate with students.

said discussions among congressional leaders centered on that issue. “It’s my understanding that they are trying to build support for a deal involving a new 45-day investigation,” he said.

Frist, R-Tenn., said that while legislation may not be necessary now, having “30 to 45 days” to step back and evaluate the deal still could be necessary.

“If there’s some question about the diagnosis, then maybe we need to get a second opinion,” said Frist, a former heart surgeon.

King, R-N.Y., said he would need to see all the details of a compromise before deciding if it met all of his concerns, or met the demands of the legislation he planned to offer.

The company’s voluntary delay in taking over most operations at the six U.S. ports did little to quell a political furor or appease skeptical members of Congress that the deal does not pose any increased risks to the U.S. from terrorism. Republican House and Senate leaders are to meet Tuesday to discuss how to proceed.

The company declined Saturday to discuss any potential compromise that may be in the works.

A DP World executive said the company would agree to tougher security restrictions to win congressional support only if the same restrictions applied to all U.S. port operators. The company earlier had struck a more conciliatory stance, saying it would do whatever Bush asked to salvage the agreement.

opinion,” Horowitz said. “All he’s done is wield ideologies out of a 19th-century theory.”

He likened the Marxism and Society program, which offers an undergraduate certificate, to “a geography department having a flat-earth program.”

Jameson was not available for comment.

Michael Hardt, professor in the literatureprogram, defended the Marxism and Society program’s goals.

“The focus is not on Marxism as a political or ideological system, but rather on Marxism as a scholarly methodology that has been influential on a number of disciplines,” Hardt said. “What [Horowitz] writes is inaccurate in many details. For over three decades, students and scholars alike have found Jameson’s books stimulating and useful.”

Horowitz’s book also criticized cooke, co-director of the University's Center for the Study of Muslim Networks. Horowitz wrote that cooke blames the Sept. 11 attacks on Israel and supports oppressive regimes in the Middle East.

Although cooke has not read Horowitz’s book, she said it is an attempt to unfairly silence liberal view points.

“I was surprised to find myself on the list. I have not yet decided how to react,” cooke said. “It feels like intimidation and an attempt at character assassination in order to silence us.”

Junior Stephen Miller, president of the Duke chapter of SAF and a Chronicle columnist, said Horowitz’s book accurately depicts the problems of bias in the nation and on Duke’s campus. “[Jameson and cooke] are exemplars representing

Duke’s overall problem —the abandonment of education,” Miller said. “Professors who are communists should be allowed to teach, but in their class students should be able to dissent without penalty and there should be classes that provide alternatives.”

Miller said there is an abundance of academic programs at Duke that he thinks are ideological in nature rather than educational.

“Some programs such as women’s studies, literature and cultural anthropology do not have a single Republican in them,” Miller said. “Some of these departments would fit in better in Cuba,” he added, referring to what he perceives as their leftist leanings.

Miller also questioned why there is a certificate-program on Marx but not a program on libertarianism or free markets.

John Bumess, senior vice president for public and government relations, said he disagrees with many of Horowitz’s statements.

“Fred Jameson is one of the most brilliant people at Duke, and the fact that he has controversial positions is what college is all about,” Bumess said. “[Jameson and cooke] are distinguished scholars that are world-renowned.”

He also said Horowitz and Miller’s claims that certain departments were politically biased were not significant.

“Sure, some of the humanities departments might be on the left,” Burness said. “That’s the nature of the field.

However, I’m sure some fields are probably more conservative. It’s very easy to over-exaggerate.”

He added that the issue of liberal bias has been addressed by Duke before, and that Horowitz’s accusations in his book should be taken with caution.

“You should be careful when folks with a political agenda come out making bold accusations,” Burness said.

Professor ofAsian and African Languages and Literature miriam cooke (left) was included in a David Horowitz's book about liberal academics.

THE CHRONICLE

PHILADELPHIA After surpassing Dickie Hemric to become the ACC’s all-time leading scorer, JJ. Redick didn’t even crack a smile.

Weeks of stifling scrutiny surrounding his chase of prominent Duke, ACC and NCAA offensive records seemed to have worn down the senior, as Redick’s performance during the last two games has indicated that the constant pressure game may have been getting to him. analysis The Blue Devils’ normally unstoppable scorer barely mustered the nine points he needed to capture the mark Saturday against Temple, notching the historic point on a free throw with 1:28 left in the second half. Redick shot just 3-for-10 from the field and finished with 11 points in the contest, his lowest offensive output of the season.

The senior had similar struggles against Georgia Tech Wednesday, but finished with 22 points. Redick converted a paltry 5-of-21 field goal attempts in that contest. In the last two games combined, he has buried just 2-of-12 threepointers while missing several wide-open opportunities shots that have typically been automatic for the sharpshooter all season.

“I’m happy that J.J.’s record is finally done, it’s been a —

lot of pressure on him,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

“He has pressure on him all the time anyway, but the last couple weeks with breaking the national three-point record, the Duke record, the ACC record —he’s a kid who’s such a team player that I can tell this past week even against GeorgiaTech he didn’t have a lot of fun.”

A subdued Redick commented after the victory over Temple that he is happy to be done with the record pursuit so he can fully focus on the team the rest of the season.

“I’m just glad it’s over with,” Redick said. “When the season’s over, I’ll be able to look back at the records I’ve set and have a sense of satisfaction and a sense of pride, but right now I’m just moving onto the next step.”

He added that Hemric’s mark, which stood for 51 years, never really entered his mind until the public became fixated on it during his pursuit of Johnny Dawkins’ Duke scoring record.

“I think the most special one was breaking Coach Dawkins’ record because of what he means to me and to say I’m the all-time leading scorer in Duke history —that’s saying something there,” Redick said. “[Hemric’s record], I never really set out to do it or concentrate on it, and it just kind of came about with the season I was having.”

Redick’s teammates also downplayed the importance SEE REDICK ON PAGE 4

Bardes had seven RBIs in the first three innings, notching a single, double, and three-run home run to right-center field.

The shortstop’s timely hitting, including a single with the bases loaded that plated three runs, lifted the Blue Devils to a commanding 12-2 lead after three frames.

The Blue Devils took two ofthree games from Radford over theweekend to improve to 4-6 overall.

day, when the Highlanders salvaged the final game of the series, 8-5. The Blue Devils fell victim to defensive lapses and a lack of timely hitting. Although each team had 10 hits, Radford (1-5) manufactured more runs by capitalizing on three Duke errors.

Radford broke open the game with three runs in the second inning and four

more in the third. Steven Ellis started the

rally in the second with a two-out walk, which was followed by a Ben Toth single and RBI doubles by Will Naylor and David Landham.

Back-to-back walks and two errors in the third inning allowed the Highlanders to cross the plate four more times on

Radford rallies with two runs of their own in both the second and third innings. Singles by freshman Matt Williams and seniors Javier Socorro and Adam Murray led to two runs in the second inning.

Tim Sherlock drove in Anderson with a triple and scored on a Barties groundout in the third to cut the Radford lead to 7-4.

That was as close as Duke would get, however, as each team’s relief corps shut down the opposition. Juniors Tony Bajoczky and Anderson combined to give up only one earned run in seven innings in relief of starter Jimmy Gallagher (1-2) for the Blue Devils. Five Highlander pitchers, meanwhile, allowed only one run on four Duke hits in the final five innings. Reliever John Lloyd (1-0) got the win for Radford.

“Radford just played better,” McNally said. “They did a better job defensively.

That was the difference.”

The Radford defense turned in its biggest play when it needed it most, completing a 5-5-3 double play to quell a potential 9th-inning rally by the Blue Devils.

Despite Sunday’s loss, Duke was happy with its weekend performance.

“The goal every weekend is to win series, and we did that again,” McNally said.

“I definitely have a positive feeling about the weekend.”

Duke travels to East Carolina Tuesday and UNC-Wilmington Wednesday before opening its ACC schedule this weekend at home against Maryland.

The men's swimming and diving squad concluded its season with a ninth-place showing at the ACCs.

Arthofer, Pearce establish new Duke records at ACCs Lane Towery THE CHRONICLE

by

Two Duke records were broken over the weekend at the ACC Swimming and Diving Championships at the University of Maryland, but the Blue Devils could not move up in the standings and finished the meet in ninth place.

Junior Kevin Arthofer started the weekend off for Duke by breaking his own record in the 100-yard breaststroke not once, but twice Friday—first in the preliminary heat and then in the consolation finals. His time of 56.14 seconds was good enough for 11th place overall in the event.

“This year I thought we were in a position to break more records than we did, but it was still exciting to see so many good performances,” head coach Dan Colella said.

During Saturday’s events, senior Billy Pearce posted a new school record in the 200-yard backstroke in the final race ofhis career. He won the bonus finals, which put him at 17th place overall with his time of 1:49.15 seconds.

Also on Saturday, Arthofer finished 14th in the 200-yard breaststroke to score points for the Blue Devils for the second time. Senior Andy Storm swam to 19th place in the same event.

Unfortunately, there were few more scoring opportunities for Duke—only 10 Blue Devils made it past their respective preliminaries to final heats over the weekend. Still, there were 32 career-best times set in the last two days of the meet.

“It was a great week for us,” Colella said. “There were a tremendous number of lifetime bests. We just had great performances across the board.”

The 400-yard freestyle relay team of Pearce and sophomores Ryan Packer, Matt Rinehart and Scott Champagne beat their season-best time by five seconds to finish in ninth place and close out the meet for the Blue Devils.

“I found as a coach over the last two weeks that we’re a team that can be really competitive in the ACC,” Colella said. “We made some good strides this year and we’re looking forward to next year’s ACCs.”

Seniors Laura Stanley and Clara Horowitz each took home ACC individual titles this weekend, as the Track and Field team completed its indoor ACC schedule at the conference championships in Blacksburg, Va. Both the men’s and women’s teams finished toward the bottom of the standings, with the men finishing 11th and the women eighth. Nonetheless, the individual performances of Stanley and Horowitz were the highlights of the weekend.

Stanley took home the gold in the 5,000 meters Friday with her second fastest time of the season, 16:33.84. The following day, Horowitz won the 3,000 meters with a time of 9:23.85.

“We were really happy with Laura and Clara’s performance this weekend,” associate head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “Two of our team’s goals for the weekend were for them both to take home titles, and they both accomplished that feat.”

It was Stanley’s first race in three weeks, and her fresh legs proved to be the difference for the senior in her last indoor ACC race.

“I felt in much better shape after my workouts the last three weeks,” Stanley said. “I felt confident that I could contend for the win.”

Prior to the race, Stanley met with her coaches to go over strategy.

“We decided that the best way for me to run would be to hang back and sit on the leaders for as much as possible,” Stanley said. “With about 400 meters to go I started to catch....l let the others do most of the work in the beginning of the race.

I felt very relaxed.”

Jermyn was confident in Stanley’s ability to close races and felt that this was the best way for her to take home her first ACC title.

“Laura has a really strong finishing kick,” he said. “We were confident that

Senior Clara Horowitz captured gold over the weekend in the 3,000 meters at the ACC Championships. this was the best strategy for her.”

Unlike her teammate, whose final push brought her to victory, Horowitz won her race easily.

Horowitz took command right out of the gate, taking the lead in the first lap. At around the 800-meter mark, she began to increase her lead and proceeded to coast to victory—finishing five seconds ahead of the second-place finisher.

“Clara won her event in dominating fashion,” Jermyn said. “She’s been running at a high level all year, and we were extremely confident coming in.”

On the men’s side, freshman Chris Rowland ran the second-best 800-meter indoor time in school history and finished seventh in the finals with a time of 1:52.43.

M.BBALL from TC page 1 the ball in the hole,” Williams said. “In the first half it worked out well, especially for the big guys, because we started dominating the inside.”

Facing a box-and-one in which the Owls were shadowing Redick, Duke fed the ball to the post on its first several possessions. Williams, whom Temple was guarding primarily with a single man for the first 20 minutes, connected on his first four shots to give the Blue Devils an 8-6 advantage.

The teams traded baskets for much of the physical first half, with neither team gaining a lead of more than seven points.

While Williams was pouring in 18 first-half points on 6-for-8 shooting, the Owls’ Mardy Collins countered with 12 points, and Duke held a 38-32 lead at the break.

Redick scored just two points in the period—his lowest first-half output of the season—and continually left his shots short. With less than three minutes left he had back-to-back open looks from long range, and both shots clanked off the front rim.

“They play a different style of defense than you’re accustomed to, and they kept running two or three guys at J.J., which is the way to go,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I thought Shelden really stepped up. We had our openings and didn’t take advantage of them.”

Just 25 seconds into the second half, Redick finally got his only three-pointer of the game to fall, giving Duke a 10-point advantage, 43-33. The shot sparked an 8-2 run for the Blue Devils that was capped by a three-pointer from the left comer by point guard Greg Paulus.

Although Temple made a series of small spurts and kept the pressure on Duke the rest of the way, the Owls were never able to get within one possession.

Trailing by 12 with 7:44 remaining, Temple scored the game’s next seven points and closed the gap to five with more than six minutes left. Krzyzewski called a 30-second timeout to calm his players, and they responded, extending the margin back to double digits.

“We’ve been in close games throughout

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

Shelden Williamsrecorded his 15th double-doubleof the season Saturday with 23 points and 12rebounds in Duke's win over Temple in Philadelphia. the whole season,” Williams said. “We weren’t raided when they started to make a little bit of a run and come back in the game. We kind of gathered ourselves and said, ‘We need to play strong.’”

Redick scored his seventh point with 11:06 left in the game, and the pro-Duke crowd snapped pictures every dme he touched the ball the rest of the way in anticipation ofhis record-breaking shot. He drew a foul with less than two minutes remaining to earn a trip to the free-throw line and had a chance to break the scoring mark. The Wachovia Center erupted in cheers, as Redick sank the shots to pass Hemric.

Redick’s 11 points were a season low, and he shot just 3-for-10 from the field, but he said he was not concerned with his shot.

Redick said he also hadn’t given serious thought to the significance of breaking the half-century old mark.

“I’m just thinking of ways I can get better, ways I can beat a box-and-one,”

Redick said.

NOTES: With 12 rebounds, Williams moved past Christian Laettner and into second place on Duke’s all-time rebounds chart.

With 1,160 in his career, Williams is 82 rebounds behind Mike Gminski for the Blue Devil record.... It was the first game this season in which five Blue Devils reached double digits in scoring.... Former Blue Devils Shavlik Randolph, Chris Duhon and Luol Deng were all in attendance at the game.

of the record in the context of the ongoing season. Fellow seniors Lee Melchionni and Sean Dockery said they are happy to be part of Redick’s milestones, but they know their teammate gains more satisfaction from winning games than capturing personal accolades.

Redick said normally after any player receives a postgame television interview, his teammates greet him with applause as he enters the locker room. He added that in the event that a player accomplishes something truly special, his teammates also throw water on him.

“I didn’t get any water today,” Redick said jokingly. “I was kind of disappointed.”

It is Redick’s brilliance over the course of this season, however, that has caused his accomplishments to become almost passe.

In a span of just four games, Redick has set the Duke and ACC scoring records, as well as the NCAA mark for most career threepointers.

After passing Hemric, there remain few, if any, comparable career superlatives on the horizon for Redick.

“We were getting tired of it man,” senior Lee Melchionni said jokingly of why he and his teammates did not shower Redick with water after the game. “We thought we were wasting water.”

Latta's grit gives UNC edge over Blue Devils

MICHAEL

CHANG/THE CHRONICLE

Sophomore Wanisha Smith was 5-for-9 from the field and matched her season-high with 16 points. by

Lauren

Kobylarz THE CHRONICLE

There’s something CHAPEL HILL about North Carolina that gives Duke fits.

Maybe it’s the tension of the Tobacco Road rivalry. Maybe it’s the Tar Heels’ high-pressure defense. Maybe it’s just UNC’s fiery guard Ivory Latta.

It’s probably all three.

Unable to grab the lead f° r t^ie games en_ aame tirety, Duke was mentalanaiysis ly and physically outplayed by an intense Tar Heel squad in front of a sold-out and raucous crowd. And despite the obvious looks of concentration written across their faces, the Blue Devils could not put it together against UNC Saturday.

“I guess it is something about Carolina that makes us go out there and not play our game,” Duke guard Monique Currie said. “They made us rush and make bad decisions, and they killed us on the boards. All of us for the most part think that we are in total control of it—we just didn’t take care of it today.”

Although Duke played with conviction, it lacked the sheer recklessness embodied by the 5-foot-6 Latta who consistently drove to the basket for the Tar Heels and even recorded a block on the night, stuffing the 5-foot-10 Abby Waner at the end of the first half. Mentally, the junior guard, who scored 18 points and added five assists, played all ofher 37 minutes on an adrenaline rush. In the game’s final minutes, Latta turned to face the crowd and raised her arms to the ceiling to pump up an already-rocking Carmichael Auditorium.

The rest of UNC team took on Latta’s attitude with little trouble, especially on on the boards—the Tar Heels had 16 offensive rebounds to Duke’s six in the first half alone.

“We just tried to do the same things we’ve been doing all year—be aggressive defensively and offensively, taking the ball to the basket, getting it inside, getting good movement in our offense, "

UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell said.

“Defensively we threw some different things at them. I thought our kids played really hard.”

The Blue Devils could have used some ofNorth Carolina’s synchronization.

Duke scrambled to narrow the score in the game’s final minutes, but the Tar Heels pressured the Blue Devils into rushed play and poor communication.

With less than seven minutes on the clock, Wanisha Smith sent a pass from beyond the right elbow to a wide-open Currie on the left block for a potential easy layup that would have brought the score within nine. But instead, center Alison Bales tipped the ball as it passed her, fumbling the play enough to lead to an easy UNC steal.

This type of miscommunication was typical for the Blue Devils throughout the game—Duke tossed the ball out of bounds without a teammate remotely close to the pass several times.

“Their pressure once again caused us problems,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We did not play with a whole lot of poise.... I wouldn’t say it’s an easy fix, I would say it’s a mentality. Once again I feel like we need to become mentally tougher.”

To add to their frustration, the Blue Devils could not get their shots to fall— Duke shot only 34.3 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from beyond the arc on the game. The Blue Devils’ 65 points were also a season low.

It is possible that Duke’s sub-par performance can be attributed to an off day, but it will need to improve upon its ability to play under pressure if it wants to go far into the postseason. The Blue Devils may meet the Tar Heels again in the ACC or NCAA Tournaments—possibly both—and will certainly have to face other toplevel teams.

“I don’t know, we may see them again, we may not see them again,” Goestenkors said. “If nothing else it has help to prepare us for any other team that we may see who is extremely athletic and likes to press.”

the lead down to seven. Center Alison Bales, who tied a career-high with eight blocks on the night, started the run with two free throws.

Fifteen seconds later, point guard Lindsey Harding fired up the Duke team, breaking down the UNC press by herself and going coast-to-coast for an easy layin.

Harding added a 10-foot jumper a minute later with 3:24 remaining to cap the run and bring the score to 65-58.

The teams traded baskets for the next minute before Currie air-balled her final three-point attempt of the night, ending any hope of a Duke comeback.

“We knew Duke was going to make a run and come back, which they did,” Hatchell said. “But I thought we hung tough in there.”

The loss was the Blue Devils’ fifthstraight against the Tar Heels, who finished No. 1 in the ACC Regular Season with the win. The Blue Devils finished No. 2 in the ACC, ending a five-year streak of winning or tying for the tide.

“We didn’t play our game, didn’t play, you know, I thought Duke basketball,” Goestenkors said. “We’ll regroup and try to get ready for the ACC tournament.”

halftime and at timeouts down the stretch I said, ‘Hey Currie’s going to get the ball, this is her team. She’s going to try to carry this team in the second half,”’ UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “She’s an incredible player but she didn’t have a good game, she missed shots she normally would make.”

Currie ended the night with 13 points on a 5-for-18 shooting performance. She had the most trouble from beyond the arc, hitting just l-of-8 shots as Duke struggled as a team from the floor the entire game.

North Carolina’s defense held the Blue Devils to a season-low 14.3-percent shooting from long range and a seasonlow 65 points. Duke also committed 23 turnovers against just 14 assists, leading to 21 Tar Heel points.

“When you turn the ball over, they are going to make you pay for it,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “If you turn it over 23 times they’re probably going to make you pay on at least half of them and convert them into easy North Carolina 77, Duke 65 shots.

WOMEN'S LACROSSE

Duke holds off Maryland in ACC showdown Taylor Field THE CHRONICLE

by

The Duke women’s lacrosse team downed Maryland in its home opener Saturday, using an 8-0 run to erase a threegoal deficit to defeat the Terrapins, 9-7 “I think we got MARYLAND 7 lucky in a lot of DUKE 9 ways.” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “Had Maryland not hobbled a few balls, or had they shot the ball a little better this game could have gone a different way.”

Fifth-ranked Maryland (2-2, 0-1 in the ACC) came out strong, winning the first draw and scoring off a free position just 16 seconds into the game. No. 2 Duke (3-0, 10) came back on the next draw, however, with sophomore Rachel Sanford taking the ball down the field and scoring an unassisted goal to tie the game at one.

Over the next nine minutes, Maryland went on a 3-0 run, slowing down the play on offense and dominating the midfield with a quick and effective transition.

“You always have to have that gut check when they come out and score a couple of quick goals,” Duke senior goalie Megan Huether said. “You just have to stay focused and erase what just happened and focus on the next shot and on the game ahead.”

The Maryland offense took control of the pace of the game during its scoring spurt, passing the ball around Duke’s half of the field and driving hard to the goal.

“I thought our defense basically won us this game today,” Kimel said. “I was really proud of their effort, but overall I was disappointed with our team effort in general. I just felt that we didn’t show up today, a lack of ability to execute our offense and keep our heads in the game. I just feel like we just didn’t perform up to

WILLIAM LIEW/THE CHRONICLE

Sophomore midfielder Rachel Sanford scored a team-high three goals in theBlue Devils'first ACC win. our ability at all.”

After the Terps goal that brought the score to 4-I—a quick-stick shot by Brooke Richards—Kimel called a timeout to straighten things out with her team.

“Once we called that timeout and kind of got them together and on the same page, I think they did much better,” Kimel said. “We kept the ball unsettled, and we had some nice scoring opportunities, and I felt that our defense finally kind of settied down.”

The break was all Duke needed to turn the game around, as the team went on its 8-0 run over the next 23 minutes to take a 94 lead. Duke’s offensive run was highlighted by three goals from freshman Carolyn Davis, including two in the first three minutes of the second half.

Senior attacker Katie Chrest also scored on a free position for her 162nd goal in the 23rd minute, breaking the Blue Devil career goal record.

Duke’s defense also picked up with

strong coverage around the arc by senior Laura Anderson, Meghan Ferguson and sophomore Yani Newton.

“I thought our kids did an awesome job in that part of the game,” Kimel said.

“We expected them to potentially pull out, try to possess, and try to go at us hard once they had the ball, try to kind ofcatch us on our heels a little bit.... But I thought our kids were really well prepared for that, and they did a great job sticking to the game plan in terms of not giving them what they wanted.”

Huether also boosted the defensive effort with several key saves down the stretch. The senior recorded 11 saves during the game and opened the second half with two saves within the first 10 minutes on Maryland shots from just outside the crease.

“I think it was a team effort all around,” Huether said. “I know we struggled in certain areas, and I think that defense definitely did step it up a 10t.... We drilled a lot of these things this week, so I think that really paid off and obviously when the defense is playing well that really helps me out.”

With just 10 minutes left to play and the Terps trailing by five, the Maryland offense came alive again, scoring two goals in less than two minutes to cut the Duke lead to three.

The Terps added another goal with less than four minutes to play and had two more runs at the goal, but could not convert either time as the final whistle blew with Duke holding a 9-7 advantage.

“I felt our guys did a really good job adjusting [to Maryland’s style of play], and I felt that we knew their personnel really well,” Kimel said. “Overall, I thought our kids were really ready and anticipated what certain players were looking for and the general tendencies of their offense.”

THE CHRONICLE

It is just two games into the season and the Blue Devils are picking up just where they left off last season.

The men’s lacrosse team used a sevengoal third quarter to ease past Villanova (1-1), 13-2, Saturday at Koskinen Stadium.

“Twogamesina VILLAIN OVA 2 roW) the defense DUKE 13 has been there, which has been imme,” to head coach Mike Pressler pressive said. “The offense we always knew would be there. We’re kind of putting it together to becoming a very good lacrosse team.”

Dan Flannery scored the game’s first goal less than five minutes into action, and Brad Ross and Matt Danowski added two more scores to give the Blue Devils (2-0) an early 3-0 lead.

Villanova got on the board late in the first period, and Zack Greer put Duke back ahead by three, scoring the only goal of the second quarter with 4:07 remaining, giving Duke a 4-1 halftime lead.

“I thought we got off to a great start,” Pressler said. “We picked it up in the third quarter and put ’Nova away. We’ve got to maintain the same level of intensity from the first whisde to the last.”

After the break, the team came out on fire. Greer netted back-to-back goals to start a seven-goal period, and Kyle Dowd «...

also added two goals during the spurt.

Danowski, who finished the game with two goals, found Greer with five seconds left in the third period for his fourth and final score of the contest.

“All three attackmen played well,” Pressler said. “It was unfortunate that I think we hit six pipes in the game. Those guys had great opportunities and just didn’t finish as well as we had hoped. It wasn’t a lack of effort.”

The Blue Devils outshot Villanova 45-26 in the game—17 of which came in the third quarter—and Wildcat goalie Joe Caruso, whom Pressler called one of the nation’s best, made 18 saves.

Dan Loftus, who is trying to fill the void in goal made by the graduation of AllAmerican Aaron Fenton, played a stellar game, Pressler said.

The junior played 56 minutes and only allowed one goal, while making 10 saves.

The veteran defensive unit in front of him also played well, limiting the Wildcats scoring opportunities and forcing them to take difficult shots.

“Danny has had two terrific starts,” Pressler said. “He was certainly on his game against Butler and he didn’t miss a beat against Villanova. He cleared the ball very well.”

The victory gave Pressler his 225th win as coach of the Blue Devils. It is his 16th year at the helm at Duke.

The two teams split the remaining matchups to bring the final margin to 5-2 in favor ofNo. 8 Duke (5-2), as the No. 6 Wildcats (7-3) dropped their second match of the weekend.

After the squads split the two opening doubles contests, the doubles point came down to Carleton and Kristin Cargill who held a 7-2 lead over the Wildcats.

Carleton and Cargill dropped consecutive games, but recovered to win their match, 8-4, and secure the seventh-straight doubles point for the Blue Devils.

“Our doubles point has been strong all year and the matches that [the Wildcats] have lost are ones where they’ve lost some doubles points, so we knew that the doubles point was going to be big,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “I thought we actually came out a litde flat in doubles with some shaky starts, but we did a good job coming back in the middle.”

Jennifer Zika and Melissa Mang picked up the first victory in a doubles match for Duke to start the day. The 45th-ranked duo remains undefeated in doubles action this season.

The 10th-ranked men’s golf struggled to an 8-over-par 296 during the first day of the Puerto Rico Classic and sits in 14th place, trailing leader Alabama by 16 strokes. The event, being played at the Westin Rio Mar Country Club, is Duke’s first tournament of the spring season.

Two bright spots for the Blue Devils were the play of senior Nathan Smith and sophomore Michael Quagliano. Smith, who tied for second at this event last year, fired a 2-under-par 70 and is currendy in a tie for 10th place, only two strokes off the lead.

Quagliano only played in two rounds this fall, but played well enough during qualifying to earn a spot in the lineup. He backed up his recent performance by recording an even-par round of 72 and is currently tied for 25th.

Junior Jake Grodzinsky, currently ranked sixth in the country, rebounded from a poor front nine with a l-under back nine and finished tied for 38th with a 74.

Ryan Blaum struggled mightily Sunday. The senior, who is ranked 20th nationally and was one of Duke’s most consistent golfers in the fall, carded an 80, more than eight strokes above his average from the fall. Last spring, Blaum shot an even-par 216 and finished tied for 18th at this team

No. 5 duo of Cristelle Grier and Prousis, 8-6.

“Though we haven’t lost a doubles point this year, we lost two matches in a row where we’ve lost four singles,” Ashworth said. “So we’ve come out and had that doubles point negated right away, but today we were able to build on the doubles point which was definitely better.”

Mang dominated Northwestern’s Feriel Esseghir, 6-0, 6-1, to get the Blue Devils going early in

“Today we won a singles match quickly with Melissa,” Ashworth said. “Melissa played really well

and so it was that that threw everybody a litde bit confidence-wise.”

That confidence kept Duke going with another straight-set win by freshman Tara Iyer on court four. Ranked 57th nationally, Iyer’s singles point gave the Blue Devils a 3-0 advantage, one point short of clinching a win over Northwestern. Zika was unable to pull through with the point, however, and lost her matchup against 36th-ranked Wildcat Georgia Rose before Carleton sealed the match for

“It’s my first time playing at home at Duke, so it’s different but I had a good time and believe everybody else did as well,” Bercek said. “We’re not looking at the rankings, we know where we are, we know we’re good enough and so we just need to prove that.”

Friday.

After jumping out to a 13-0 lead with wins in its first three matches, Duke (4-11) never looked back.

The strong start included a major decision victory by Daniel Shvartsman at the 149-pound weight class and the only pin of the meet, recorded by freshman Addison Nuding in the 157pound weight class.

Although the Blue Devils would drop their next two matches to bring the Tigers (5-10) to within seven points, Duke won the final four contested matches to win the meet.

Head coach Clar Anderson

noted the positives of the win heading into next weekend’s ACC Championships in Lexington, Va. “It’s tough to make up for a whole season, but it’s great to finally be gelling,” Anderson said.

“I was pleased right up and down the line up. If we start to win a lot of the close ones, we may get to go to nationals.”

Anderson highlighted the performances of sophomore Dan fox, who replaced the injured Dan Tulley at the 184pound weight class and Konrad Dudziak, who registered a major decision victory in the 197pound weight class against a bigger opponent.

Despite their winless record in the ACC regular season, the Blue Devils have gotten five recent wins from freshmen and are hoping to parlay their recent improvements into postseason success.

“We all realize that we probably have to win to go to nationals,” Anderson said. “This team is a very young team.”

OFF-CAMPUS from page 3 Many of the disciplinary actions taken

by Judicial Affairs are spurred by police investigations and the court system.

A district court judge gave senior Urosh Tomovich a 10-day suspended jail sentence Tuesday as a result of an October party held at Tomovich’s former home at 203 Watts St. Tomovich said Trinity Park residents coalesced into a makeshift “political body” to pressure the district attorney to take action against rowdy students.

“One thing is for sure: these people wanted consequences,” he said.

Sims’ letter expressed the University’s hope that the relationship between Durham residents and students would improve.

“We are also in the process of developing programs to help educate students about responsible citizenship within Durham communities,” Sims wrote in the letter, which was released on local neighborhood listservs, among other places.

“Our desire is to help those students moving off campus do so smoothly and develop positive relationships with their neighbors.”

Although many residents of Kilgo evacuated the building, others opted to stay in their rooms.

“It’s a good thing I did because at least this time something was on fire.”

The fire department cleared the dorm before students were allowed back into their rooms, Gustafson said.

EMPLOYEES from page 4 formed that there were still 40 days remaining in his probation time when there were actually only 10, he said.

Hudson said his decreased performance level on the job was caused by Barrow’s increase of work load.

“Every week she added more and more to my schedule,” Hudson said. “So I can’t complete the work, and she says that I’m incompetent.”

Barrow could not be reached for comment.

Hudson cites the basketball team’s attitude toward him as proof ofhis good performance.

“For Christmas, they gave me a bag of clothes and a pair of the ‘6OO wins’ sneakers,” he said. “If these people aren’t happy with what I’m doing, why would they treat me like this?”

In the past two weeks Hudson has been actively looking for new employment but with no success. He said it was particularly difficult because Duke is Durham’s biggest source of income for labor jobs.

“It took me almost a year to get that job a Duke,” he said. “Now I’m on the ‘no re-hire’ list. I can’t even get a job at Duke.”

Administrators declined to comment on the situation

The second petition filed by Duke Organizing aims to protect all Duke workers in their probationary period. As of now, they are not covered by a union or any other organizations, Rice explained.

“We want to set up processes for people in this probation period to have some kind of way to deal with grievances,” he said. “People under 90 days are especially at risk.”

A similar situation occurred last December on East Campus. Olivia Vaughn, a Gilbert-Addoms Dormitory housekeeper, was fired a day before the end of her probation period. Students filed a petition, and Vaughn was able to keep her job.

Gordon Manlier, a fourth-year graduate student in the history department, agreed that workers under probation need to be protected.

“Workers on probation aren’t given any kind of clause about why they are fired,” he said.

Vertee Poteat, a housekeeper for Brown Dormitory, said there needs to be detailed documentation regarding the grounds of firing employees.

‘You can’t just up and walk to somebody and say, You’re fired,”’ she said. “[The supervisor] has the right to get rid of them [in the 90 days probation], but you need to say why you’re doing it.”

have added 16 new medal sports since the 1998 Nagano Games, several in U.S.-friendly events.

It was the most medals ever won by the Americans in a foreign Winter Olympics, and left the U.S. second only to Germany’s 29 medals. The head of the USOC was quick to spin it as success, while acknowledging others might see it differendy.

“This has been an incredible performance,” Jim Scherr said. “It’s probably a little bit our fault that this team has been viewed as a little less than that because of the high expectations we all had coming into these games.”

No one came into the games with higher expectations than skier Miller and speedskater Hedrick, each, entered in five events. Miller won nothing; Hedrick epitomized the yin-yang of the Americans in collecting a gold, silver and bronze between yapping with Davis.

Almost lost in the backbiting was Davis’ Jackie Robinson moment, a gold medal in the 1,000 meters that made him the first black athlete ever to win an individual Olympic gold medal.

The U.S. medal haul came from their domination in men’s long-track speedskating and snowboarding, with seven medals apiece. Short-track skater Apolo Anton Ohno added a gold and two bronzes, one of the latter in a relay event.

The news wasn’t as good elsewhere in the Piedmont region.

Hockey was a dual disappointment: The professionals from the NHL looked like amateurs, winning a single game. The women—gold medal finalists in 1998 and 2002—settled for a bronze. The women speedskaters were shut out. Michelle Kwan, plagued by a groin injury, never reached the ice.

The Alpine ski team, the self-proclaimed “Best in the World,” boasted of a potential eight-medal haul—and won two. “This just in,” announced David Letterman on his “Late Show.” “Bode Miller has tested negative for medals.”

The games’ most enduring moment was also its most bizarre. Jacobellis, on the next-to-last jump of the first women’s Olympic snowboardcross, grabbed her board in an unnecessary bit of showboating—and then crashed, blowing her gold medal. Her silver seemed almost

insignificant.

The stunt was endlessly replayed, with Jacobellis alternately cheered (by the snowboard community) and chastised (by everyone over 40).

The disagreement demonstrated a generation gap involving the age of the sports, not the athletes. The new wave of U.S. Olympians on snowboards or skis wanted to put on a show... and maybe get a medal, too.

Take aerial skier Jeret “Speedy” Peterson. A seventhplace finish in the aerials couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. “I came here to do the Hurricane,” he said, referring to the difficult maneuver, “and I did the Hurricane.”

Never mind that he botched it. Or that an easier stunt might have won a medal.

ordered $6O worth of food, which two ofits members tried to steal.

“While I was paying attention to one guy, another tried to snatch the food. I popped him in the leg with a BB gun,” Farabee recounted.

“That was the worst experience because I didn’t like having to do that.”

“It’s the helplessness,” he continued.

“This is how I make money and feed my kids. That’s what most people don’t understand. Any mistakes like that, our bosses hold us accountable.”

Back in the shop, business is proceeding as usual. Burkill sits leisurely at one of the tables, sipping iced tea and awaiting customers.

Douglas stands near the food counter as Antonio Gould, the manager on duty, lounges at another table completely enthralled in his Sony PSP video game. The customers don’t seem to mind.

The in-house phone rings and Farabee quickly walks over, eager for more business. On the phone, he is as professional as they come. Once finished, however, Farabee resumes his cool demeanor.

“People tend to blame us about missing food—like we opened it up and ate it,” he said. “[Duke students] aren’t really overly

Once, while delivering an order to two female students at UNC, who were wearing little more than bedclothes, business and pleasure did just that.

“They were drinking and partying,” he said, smiling. “They invited me in, things got a little freaky—that’s the delivery man’s fantasy.”

Farabee added that other “tips” offered to drivers have included six-packs of beer, bong or blunt hits, beer bongs at parties, condoms and shots of liquor.

“Sometimes we get money plus the offers,” he explained.

At this point, all of the employees, save two, are crowded around the table at which Farabee is sitting, listening intently to each word uttered, many nodding to affirm common experiences.

“I’ll whoop your ass,” Douglas said, putting an end to the story time. “Go make some lunch,” Farabee retorted.

An attractive blond then walks in and both Farabee and Douglas jump to the cash register to take the woman’s order.

‘You have to make the sandwiches,” Farabee tells Douglas, relegating him to the meat counter.

Gould, who is still focused on his PSP game, just shakes his head and chuckles.

because the medical industry operates largely under the assumption that researchers will automatically disclose conflicts of interest, Weinfurt said.

“Many universities simply haven’t gone very far from past standards,” said Arthur Caplan, chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of

Pennsylvania.

Caplan, who was named as a plaintiff in the Gelsinger lawsuit, said a wide array of conflicts of interest affect medical research today. took notice of the

in changes drug companies’ efforts to protect human research subjects.

Weinfurt, however, emphasized that drug companies rarely include requirements and

guidelines to avoid conflicts of interest—requirements for financial interest disclaimers, for example —in their contracts with researchers.

“It’s largely upon the shoulders of universities to protect patient interests,” he said.

In past years, Duke and other universities have implemented policies to heighten the depth of internal reviews of research.

“As the area of controversial research grows, we must implement clear definitions of what to expect from responsible researchers,” Weinfurt said.

now that the need cannot be ignored, it is encouraging to see the University react to what the community needs—-42 percent of the student body at Lakewood Elementary School alone is currently made up of Spanish-speaking students.

The program, which will also send teachers to Mexico for a week to practice language skills with a host family, will help demystify a foreign culture.

These programs all seem to point to one of the key aspects of the upcoming Strategic Plan: knowledge in service

to society. As the University begins to make a concerted

effort to promote servicebased initiatives, this plan seems to be one of the first steps in fostering a culture that emphasizes giving back to the community.

And as Brodhead said Wednesday, “We all rise and fall together.” Duke and Durham’s educational futures are highly dependent on one another.

As the public schools in Durham improve, so will the educational climate of Duke.

Prospective professors will be more inclined to settle down and send their children to school here.

More students at Duke from Durham’s public schools creates a continuum of learning for students that stay in

the area Moreover, if more students from Durham public schools come to Duke, it will create a more complete community for learning.

As it stands, we often think of Duke as separate from the city at large, which inevitably creates a divide.But with these initiatives, Duke and Durham may be able to close at least the educational disconnect.

Furthermore, these initiatives and the general push to improve DPS can cultivate an even stronger intellectual community—one that is not just University-based but Durham-centric.

After all, as an educational institution, it is imperative that the University build up education both within and around its walls.

generated both laughs and ire. But there are plenty of comments that have not survived—and the main reason for that is ac-

countability.

Not having a name attached to the column has forced editors to be perhaps overly cautious about what runs in the space

because there is no “real” person who can be held responsible for the statements. By adding a name in italics at the bottom of column, the writer(s) will have much greater freedom to say what they want to say because accountability allows us to print all sorts of material that we otherwise, in the name of ethics and integrity, might not be able to.

We did not make this decision as a form of punishment for any comments made in this semester’s column. Nor was it made out offear to protect ourselves from liability. This decision was made in the middle of the semester because as soon as The Chronicle realized there was a better way to present humor, we felt obligated to act.

In short, this decision was made in the

name of defending and ensuring free speech—and free humor—on these pages.

The column will continue to run, and it will continue to be written in a persona whether that persona is Jack Bauer’s Bidet, Milli and Vanilli, Sir Elton, Ramona Quimby, Tommy Seabass or any other name that comes along.

As such, it should not be read as an absolute reflection of the writer’s opinion.

Rather, it should be read as the writer’s attempt to comment on the Duke world and community in a unique, thought-provoking way.

Indeed, Monday, Monday will continue to push the envelope, using humor to develop keen commentary.

The only difference will be the name in italics at the end of the column.

Just a name.

And hopefully, with that name, will come new degrees of accountability, humor and good reading.
