ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST YEAR, ISSUE 112

THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

Protesters criticize firing of employee Wenjia Zhang THE CHRONICLE

“Housekeepers are human.” The slogan was written on a sign held up in front of the Allen Building Tuesday at a rally demanding due process for Johnny Hudson, a former custodian in Cameron Indoor Stadium who was fired Feb. 10 during his probationary period. The rally was led by Duke Organizing—a campus group “committed to changing the cultures of working, living and learning at Duke”—and Duke Students Against Sweatshops. Approximately 30 students and a handful of Duke employees attended the event. Rally participants urged University administrators to reconsider Hudson’s dismissal and set up guidelines to ensure fair firing practices during probationary periods—a trial time before employees become permanent Duke workers. Employees are often dis-

missed on ambiguous grounds during their probationary period, noted David Rice, a secondyear graduate student in the political science department. Students and employees also demanded due process so that trial employees —who cannot join a union—have a standardized procedure to file appeals against dismissals and have their cases reviewed in a timely fashion. Duke Organizing filed a petition Feb. 20 appealing Hudson’s dismissal, which was justified on grounds of bad job performance. He was fired 10 days before the end of his 90-day probationary period. Students presented Hudson’s case to those gathered at the rally and paraphrased anonymous employee testimonies that claimed the decline in Hudson’s performance was due to an increased workload after a change in supervisors.

Tenting season ends with mixed reviews by

David Graham

THE CHRONICLE

Senior Chinedu Okpukpara arrived in Krzyzewskiville an hour before the men’s basketball game against the University of

North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Saturday night. Okpukpara had

not been tenting for weeks or even sitting in the walk-up line for 48 hours, but by tip-off, he was seated in prime territory, three rows back near the UNC bench. Instead of braving the elements, he jumped in at the end of the walk-up line 10 minutes before the game began. “I saw there weren’t that many line monitors around, and so I just went to the end of the walkup line when 20 to 30 people were left,” Okpukpara said. “I was the only single in a bunch of groups, but no one stoppied me. It helped that the senior line monitors had gone in to watch the senior ceremony.” He also said several of his friends snuck into the game “just to see if it would work” and that by the time he entered, monitors were not checking

identification carefully.

Conservative writer David Horowitz promotes his new book about academic freedom at a speech Tuesday.

Horowitz stirs up crowd in Page by

Neal Sen Gupta THE CHRONICLE

Notorious conservative author David Horowitz spoke Tuesday evening about what he deems radical liberal bias in Duke’s academic departments. The event, which was taped by C-SPAN, drew an audience of about 600 to Page Auditorium. It was in part a promotion of Horowitz’s new book, The Professors: 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America. Horowitz spoke about the need to fight “intellectual corruption” at universities such as Duke. He compared the problem of political radicals taking

over academic departments to an event “bigger than Enron.” Horowitz attacked specific Trinity College ofArts and Sciences academic programs and departments as examples of “political parties,” including the Women’s Studies Program, Program of Literature, the Department of African and AfricanAmerican Literature and the cultural anthropology department. “Large parts of this University have been subverted by radical, leftist recruiting,” Horowitz said. He pointed out that most speakers invited to campus are politically radical, noting Nor-

man Finkelstein and Harry Belafonte as examples. “I’m amazed by the number of events and courses on this campus that have the sole purpose of pressuring students into thinking that America is a racist, sexist, homophobic country that should be attacked,” Horowitz said. Horowitz criticized several Duke professors. He said Jane Gaines, the director of Duke’s Marxism in Society Program and professor literature and English, is a “film critic with no relevant expertise” in what she teaches. SEE HOROWITZ ON PAGE 8

An e-mail organizing a protest of Horowitz’s appearance circulated to several student groups Tuesday several hours before Horowitz’s speech began. The e-mail was initially distributed by Associate Professor Diane Nelson of the cultural anthropology department. It suggested that students pull their shirts off at a set time during the speech “They claim [Horowitz] will ‘expose academia’.... Here are some ways we will ‘expose them,’” Nelson wrote in the e-mail, proceeding to describe how students should literally expose themselves. “I say we all wear jogbras (for ladies) and nothing (for boys) under our T-shirts and at

Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and others in his front-running Kadima Party delivered these messages just three weeks before the Israeli election. The centrist Kadima is trying to court both hardline and dovish voters, and has been sliding in the polls.

coming recently about their post-election agenda, apparendy in hopes of stemming the erosion in voter support. This week, Olmert’s key security adviser said Israel

would dismande more West Bank settiements and try to draw its final borders in the next four years. Another key campaign issue is Israel’s position on Hamas, which won the Palestinian parliamentary elections in January and is poised to form a government. Hardline candidates have accused Olmert of being too soft on Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction and refuses to renounce violence.

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz ofKadima told Army Radio on Tuesday that Israel would not hesitate to assassinate Hamas leaders if the group resumes attacks against Israel. Asked specifically about Ismail Haniyeh, the designated Hamas prime minister, Mofaz said: “If Hamas... presents us with the challenge of having to confront a terror organization, then no one there will be immune. Not just Ismail Haniyeh. No one will be immune.” Mofaz spoke a day after an Israeli airstrike on an ice cream truck killed two Islamic Jihad militants and three bystanders in Gaza City.

GM to alter workers' pension plans Durbinyune

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT General Motors Corp. this Tuesday became the latest major employer to convert its traditional pension plan that gives retirees a defined payout to a system in which the company makes a set contribution that supplements workers’ savings. Effective Jan. 1, GM will freeze the accrued pension benefits for approximately 42,000 U.S. salaried employees and put those employees into new plans, a tactic many large companies are using to trim their skyrocketing pension costs. The change won’t affect retirees or GM hourly workers.

Salaried employees hired on or after Jan. 1, 2001, will move exclusively to a defined contribution plan. Those newer employees currently have a cash balance plan, which works like a traditional defined benefit plan but allows participants to collect their benefits in a lump sum at retirement instead of in monthly checks. Newer employees will continue to earn annual interest on the balance in their plans. They also will get a monthly contribution of 4 percent of their salary to their 401 (k) program, which is expected to cost GM $l5 million each year.

French find new crustacean

Salaried employees hired before Jan. 1, 2001, will remain in a definedbenefit plan but will get reduced benefits under a new formula that pays them 1.25 percent of their average monthly payper year of service. A separate plan for executives also will be frozen and aligned more closely to the new plans, GM said. About 90 percent of GM’s U.S. salaries employees were hired before Jan. 1, 2001, spokes person Jerry Dubrowski said. In addition, GM will reinstate a matching plan for employees’ 401 (k) contributions. The company will match halfof what all U.S. salaried employees contribute up to 4 percent of their base salary.

Divers have discovered a new crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blonde fur, French researchers said Tuesday.

Freshmen flock to FCJL to dine Graduation

speaker to be announced after break

Casey Dean THE CHRONICLE

Some freshmen bored with the Marketplace are making a quick trip down Campus Drive to get their nighdy grub. The Freeman Center for Jewish Life provides freshmen with an alternative option for dining, and unlike West Campus eateries, which use up much-needed Food Points, meals at the Freeman Center are included as part of the first-year

dining plan.

As a result, FCJL has seen increased popularity throughout the semester. “[The FCJL] averages around 150 dinners per night right now, which is probably the best it’s ever been,” said Jim Wulforst, director of dining services. “We were challenged to get more than 75 people at one point.” FCJL’s kosher dining facility closed in the spring of 2003 as result of financial difficulties and reopened last fall. The eatery has consistently scored well on the campus-wide Performance Assessment for Culinary Excellence program, which is used to evaluate all vendors on quality, customer service, food and environment with the same level of expectation for each. FCJL provides a unique place for a meal available to students of all religions, and the food is complemented by an area to play games and chat, Wulforst said. Some students have been heard bemoaning the influx of their peers in what was earlier in the semester a quieter refuge for dining. Despite the escalating interest in FCJL’s dinners, however, the setting remains a out of the way of the nightly craziness of the Marketplace and West Campus eateries, Wulforst said. He attributed the increasing turnout largely to the service provided the Chef Henry Green and the rest of the FCJL dining staff. “They go out of their way to make it a special place for students,” Wulforst said. Freshman Andrew Berdy, East Campus consultant for the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, also complimented the staff.

Many freshmen opt out of dinner at theMarketplace to eat at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life.

“They are probably some of the best service people on campus,” Berdy said. He added that he has also noticed an increase in students eating meals in Just the past six months. One explanation Berdy offered for the center’s growing popularity is the variety of food it offers. “That’s not to say the Marketplace doesn’t do a good job providing variety, but there is an intrinsic menu fatigue,” Berdy said. Some students were less diplomatic when comparing FCJL to dining on East Campus.

“I hate the Marketplace. [FCJL] accepts the meal plan,” freshman James Trupiano said. “The food is a lot better than the Marketplace.” Freshman Grace Reilly expressed similar views. “Freshmen are going [to FCJL] because it’s on the meal plan, and [because] it’s just flat out better than the Marketplace,” Reilly said. Fellow freshman Mrinalini Gupta, whose said her visits to the FCJL eatery have doubled this semester, praised the fresh vegetables and fish. “I’m like, *Yay! Real corn!” she said.

With fewer than 10 weeks left until graduation, the Class of 2006 will have to wait a little longer to know who will be headlining its commencement ceremony. The University will release the name of the commencement speaker after Spring Break once administrators have met with the senior class leadership, said University Secretary Allison Haltom. The timing of the speaker announcement has varied from October to February over the past four years, But administrators dismissed some students’ concerns that this year’s relatively late announcement is indicative of problems selecting and securing a speaker. “We think we’ve got it tied down,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “[The timing of the announcement] goes back and forth, partly depending on the speaker and their schedule.” Haltom explained that factors other than actually selecting a speaker have affected the timing of this year’s announcement. “The president decided to wait until after Spring Break so that it would be closer to the time of graduation,” Haltom said. “If you look back over the years, it’s been late some years and early others.” President Richard Brodhead said he is not looking for a celebrity speaker, but rather a speaker who will tailor a message for Duke and benefit the Class of 2006. “You are always looking for someone who has lead a life of distinction and accomplishment and someone who will take this occasion seriously,” Brodhead said. “I don’t want someone who is going to give SEE SPEAKER ON PAGE 9

Gamers find new home in Franklin Center by

THE CHRONICLE

In some ways, the class is just like every seminar. Some students are engaged in discussion of topics like narrative, history and character development, while others sit in the back playing video games. But in the InformationScience & Information Studies course “How They Got Game,” the professors encourage the latter. The class tracks and analyzes the history and impact of video games on society. The homework includes both reading and preparatory gameplay on platforms like the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Sony Playstation 2. The class is one of a few that have started to utilize the new Interactive Multimedia Project Space —a center that includes four 50-inch plasma screens, a projector system, state-of-the-art video game systems and IP-based videoconferencing. Project coordinators of the room, which is located in the John Hope Franklin Center, held an open house Tuesday. “It would be goofy, stupid and superfluous if this center is not about a new way of learning,” said Cathy Davidson, vice provost for interdisciplinary studies. She added that the gaming room is cutting-edge. “We are trying to explore the idea that the Internet and gaming... influenced the way we perceive the world and how we learn.” She added that as a professor, she has seen writing skills improve as students spend time

reading and writing through the “intricate poetry of texting” or reading and replying to e-mails. “The focus of the University is to think about how we think,” Davidson explained. “With this room, Duke allows us to study a new technology, even at its in-

ception.” She added that the Internet age is the first time individuals have studied the ramifications of a technology on society so soon after its creation. Experts demonstrated the technology built into the room. The audience, which was partly composed of professors interested in using the facility for Fall 2006 semester courses, was particularly impressed by the electronic blinds. During the demonstration, one audience member said it felt like being in Disneyland. The experts also displayed a white board, which has a camera attached to take photos of what is on the board. The images are stored automatically online. Zach Pogue, a network systems analyst who helps the professors for “How They Got Game,” said students are receptive to the course. He noted that several undergraduates have thanked him, said it was the best experience they have had at Duke and wanted to stay after to continue gaming. “The students don’t have access to the technologies outside of this room,” he said, adding that he thinks the course fills a niche on campus.

Students and professors agreed that although it is dissimilar to others in the University, the course is still very academic. “If people take this class so they can play games, they are probably in big trouble,” Pogue said. In Tuesday’s class, the students discussed the influence of narrative on massive multi-player online role playing games in comparison with one-player RPGs. The slide in the front of the screen detailed the history of the video game series Final Fantasy, contrasting the characters and gameplay among some of the 11 games in the series. One student in class noted that he had beaten Final Fantasy

7 several times, once even racing to finish

before a friend. The professor and class discussed other games, including Grand Theft Auto and Star WarsGalaxies. The class also studied Dungeons and Dragons gaming earlier in the semester. Senior Ali Chhotani, a member of the class, said although he is not a gamer, he finds the class fun and also highly academic. “There are various readings on how video games have impacted our culture—how they went from being built in someone’s garage to a billion-dollarbusiness that competes with the movie industry,” he said. “Such a big player merits some research on how it influences the way we live.”

Committee Monday night to discuss concerns regarding ePrint and recycling in dormitories. If passed, the primary resolution will require the Office of Information Technology and Duke University Libraries to set default double-sided, duplex printing on all campus computers

in the fall. It will also require students updated ePrint software with the default setting that would allow students to switch to single-sided printing when necessary. The resolution based the need for the change on spiked paper consumption that has resulted from frequent student use of the ePrint system. According to the resolution, paper consumption has increased by 75 percent since the introduction of ePrint in 2003. In 2005, the University spent $500,000 to pay for the 21.5 million sheets of paper consumed by OIT-administered computer clusters and the additional nine million used in libraries. “We spend so much money on paper,” explained EA President Kathryn Wooten, a sophomore. “[ePrint has] really just encouraged students to not think about whether they need this print job or not because it’s so convenient.” The resolution will also require OIT to switch from using virgin paper—paper made from unrecycled to download

John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, and Kernel Dawkins, vice president of campus

services, both came out of the Allen Building and made brief statements to those at the rally. Bumess noted that they too have an interest in “having an appropriate working environment for everyone at Duke.” Dawkins said he hopes to finish reviewing Hudson’s case Wednesday and meet with him to discuss the appeal. Students questioned the administration’s timeliness in dealing with the issue. “[Hudson] has been unemployed for three weeks, and he has bills to pay and a 5-month-old daughter to feed,” senior Yates Coley said.

Employee testimonies that were read out loud reflected feelings of being “invisible” at Duke. They were left anonymous because workers were scared to be identified, Duke Organizing members said. “From what we gathered, the workers are concerned,” Rice said. “We’re here to give a voice to some of those concerns.” Employees present at the rally said there is need for better University-employee relations. “There needs to be more money, more respect and more concern,” said Marvin Hend, a Duke Grounds employee. “The [working] environment is good now, but it has been better and can be better.” The rally also raised students’ awareness of employee issues. “I didn’tknow the extent of it,” junior Nicole Jackson said. “Duke undervalues [employees]. Without them the school would fall apart.”

marked both by improvements and shortcomings.

Head Line Monitor Lauren Troyer, a senior, said she was pleased with this year’s procedures. “I think it was a great success,” she said. “K-ville is improved upon every year, and I’m sure it will be even better next year.”

The distribution of water to tenters, the absence of medical emergencies during personal checks and the use of grace as an incentive to bring tenters to women’s basketball games and tennis matches were all major victories, Troyer said. Senior Jeff Ackerman, a member ofTent 1, agreed with Troyer’s sentiments. “It was the best of allfour years,” said Ackerman, who has blue-tented since his freshman year. ‘The line monitors were responsive to student needs, and I didn’t think there were issues like in the past where you felt that line monitors LAURA BETH IGLAS/THE CHRONICLE didn’t care.” said he that The annual tradition of out Stadiumreceived some criticism about from tenters thisyear. organization Ackerman was happy when Troyer granted camping in front of Cameron Indoor she would do so at 10 instead of until waiting grace, p.m. after the buses had stopped running. His only complaint was a lack of security, but Ackerman said that was not the monitors’ fault. But not everyone was so pleased. Many students were especially upset about controversy surrounding Senior Night and the walk-up line for the UNC game. A raucous crowd of seniors, fueled by University-supplied beer, nearly turned violent during the distribution of wristbands for the Feb 19. Senior. Night game against the University of Miami. The next day, some students with wristbands were turned away from the gate. “Basically, I didn’t feel like anyone was really on our side,” said senior Rebecca Pomeroy, who had a wristband but was not allowed into the game. She said she had attended very few games because she was confused about the rules. “I’m really upset,” she said. “I thought this was the only the night where I couldn’t [mess] it up.” The UNC walk-up line controversy centered around the line monitors’ decision to accept a student-made list of the individuals in line for the game. Some students in line said the list’s creator, seniorjosh Solera, did not do an adequate job of checking identification for those in line.

She added that the informal list was similar to the method used by blue tenters who arrive before the official start ofthe tenting season and make a list among themselves, which line monitors then adopt. Freshman Chris Jones said mistakes were understandable, but he noted that monitors were slow to solve problems and seemed to have lost interest by Saturday night. “I would have liked to see more effort at the end,” Jones said. “It seemed like a lot of them were more concerned about getting into the game than keeping order in the line.”

a given signal pull them off.” The stripping never materialized, however, and all audience members remained seated and clothed. About 45 students and faculty did wear shirts that read, “Why Didn’t I Make the List?”—a reference to Horowitz’s book, The Professors: 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America. The back of the shirts inferred that Horowitz is attempting to destroy intellectual freedom. “Intimidation, Blacklisting, Litmus Testing, Narcing on Profs Academic Freedom?” the shirtread. The protesting audience members sat together in the left front rows of Page Auditorium. Some laughed and heckled at several of Horowitz’s statements throughout his 45-minute lecture. At times, Horowitz directed comments toward them. =

When Horowitz said “professors are teaching students that America is the ‘Great Satan,’” the protesting group laughed loudly. The response prompted Horowitz to say, “We’ve got some people on mushrooms in here.” Another time when audience members yelled out at his comments, Horowitz asked them “didn’t your mother teach you manners?” This drew an ovation from the rest of the audience. Junior Stephen Miller, a Chronicle columnist and president of Duke’s chapter of Students for Academic Freedom—the group that organized the event—said he was disappointed by Nelson and the students who heckled Horowitz. “It is absolutely inexcusable for a professor to organize students to disrupt a sanctioned University event,” Miller said. “She is an embarrassment to Duke, and the University should use disciplinary action on her.” When the question-and-answer session began, Nelson was the first person of sever-

“radicals” to join their faculties, leading to liberals’ domination of several humanities fields. Horowitz also referred to an incident last week at the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill as an example of how dangerous radical ideas can be. A UNC alumnus rented a Jeep and ran it into a crowd of students in order to get “revenge” for American crimes against Muslims. Horowitz used the example to defend the title of his book, which was criticized by members of the audience for using the word “dangerous” to describe professors. “People who think the title of the book is inappropriate are people who think that ideas have no power,” Horowitz said. “Just last week at down the road at UNC a student ran a car into people. It was an idea that drove him to do this.” Horowitz added that it would be hard to change what he perceives as the current culture of liberal bias in many of Duke’s departments. “The administrators are too scared of the radical 10 percent of faculty,” Horowitz said.

He also attacked the “black studies” department for being “Marxists” and for preaching that “America is racist.” “We hire these professors and give them lifetime jobs because they are experts,” Horowitz said. “However, these people are not experts. They are completely unqualified to teach their classes. They have no scholarship, no publications.” He noted, however, that his goal is not to attack or eliminate liberal professors. “I don’t want to purge universities of left-wingers, but I do want to purge them of idiots,” he said. Horowitz alleged that the problem ofliberal bias began in the 1960’5, when many liberals and anti-war activists entered into academia to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War. He said these “radicals” began to dominate departments such as “black studies” and cultural anthropology. Horowitz said the academics then began to select other

al to ask a question at the microphone. “I’m hesitant to give you the microphone considering you came here to fight the exchange of free views,” Miller said. Nelson said she did not go to the event with the intention of disrupting the speech but noted that she was compelled to because some of Horowitz’s statements merited ridicule. “We came to listen to him. We didn’t come to disrupt him,” Nelson said. “We couldn’t help but laugh at some of the things he said—like when he said professors only work five hours a week.” Although the e-mail from Nelson said to pick up the anti-Horowitz shirts in her office, she said the protest to the speech was not her idea but rather the brainchild of several student groups. “It was organized by many different students,” Nelson said. “Horowitz has attracted a lot of attention, and people have been talking about doing something [during the event] for a long time.” Jamal Modir contributed to this story.

“It is up to the students to try and make change.” The lecture was organized by Duke’s chapter of Students for Academic Freedom, a national organization founded by Horowitz. Junior Stephen Miller, president of the Duke chapter of SAF and a Chronicle columnist, said the event was extremely successful. “This was the most well-attended student-run and fund-raised event in recent Duke history,” Miller said. Some members of the audience said Horowitz was a compelling speaker, but many disagreed with his views. “I’m glad he came,” senior Stanley Mouser said. “I still don’t agree with him, but I understand his views a little more. He did say some inflammatory things.” Freshman Ryan Miller said he thought Horowitz did not adequately defend his attack on Duke professors. “I felt he did a poor job of providing evidence and answering the questions [audience members] asked,” Miller said. “It didn’treally seem like the open exchange ofideas that he says he supports.”

SPEAKER from page 3 the same speech at 15 other places.” Brodhead also recently spoke to the advisory committee for the Class of 2007’s commencement, encouraging the members to look for certain important qualities in a speaker. “I told them to keep in mind that although, in advance, it might seem what you want is a famous celebrity, the famous celebrities don’t always put in a lot of effort,” Brodhead said. Although administrators stressed that the relatively late announcement is nothing out of the ordinary, other sources reported that officials were unable to finalize a speaker this year from an initial short list of speaker candidates. The advisory committee that searches for potential speakers is comprised of students, faculty and staff. After a list ofcandidates is compiled, the Academic Council discusses conferment of honorary degrees, which the University traditionally bestows upon commencement speakers. “These tend to be people of fairly considerable distinc-

tion that are to be on the list of persons,” said Paul Haagen, professor in the School ofLaw and chair of the Academic Council. Ultimately, the extension ofinvitations to speak rests in the hands of the president. Haltom also noted that the University does not compensate commencement speakers. “Duke does not pay an honorarium,” Haltom said. “Some speakers who have celebrity status require a hefty fee.” Administrators also emphasized the University’s desire that the speaker represent Duke’s status as a global institution—a trend evident in recent years’ selections. President of Chile Ricardo Lagos was the keynote speaker last year, former Secretary ofState Madeleine Albright spoke the year before and United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was scheduled to headline the 2003 commencement ceremony but had to cancel due to an illness. “The University as a whole is increasingly understanding itself as a global citizen,” Haagen said. “In general, the University is very concerned about its role in the world, both the importance of global issues and its place in the world.”

materials—to a more ecologically friendly alternative, like paper made from 100-percent post-consumer waste or sugar cane. Schools like Cornell University and Princeton University have begun to use similar types of paper in recent years and have reported print quality equivalent to that of virgin paper. “By switching to duplex as our default, we’ll save so much,” Wooten said. “The money that we save by using less paper can be put toward buying more environmentally friendly paper.” The “Print Green” Campaign resulted from student demand for more use of double-sided printing, which is currently utilized by approximately 10 percent of students who use ePrint, said IT Senior Manager Kevin Davis. In February, EA collected 1,033 student signatures favoring the switch. As a result, members took the issue to DSG, marking the first time the two organizations worked in conjunc-

“This semester we realized that if we really wanted to get things done, it might be better to work on the policy end of things,” Moskop said. EA used the successful examples of similar groups at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Harvard University when approaching DSC, she added. “We thought ‘if they can do it, why can’t we?’” Moskop said. Although the primary results of the “Print Green” Campaign will not be in place until the fall semester, EA will begin a publicity campaign after Spring Break. It will include computer backgrounds with instructions for doublesided printing. Wooten said members of EA hope that increased awareness of the option will generate further student support for the cause. This sort of student enthusiasm encouraged EA’s initiative for a second resolution, based on its Campaign for Livable, Eco-friendly & Economical Residences at Duke, that encompasses a goal of raising recycling rates in dormitories. “We try to base our campaigns on what students want,”

Wooten said. “Students are always talking about recycling.” The second resolution will require recycling bins to be placed next to all trash cans in every dorm. “Most people do not make the effort to walk down the hall and throw their stuff into the bins,” Wooten said. “A lot of students aren’t motivated to recycle because they think their recycling is just going to get thrown in with the other trash.” The resolution will also encourage Residence Life and Housing Services to train housekeepers to properly empty recycling bins, she added. All beverage containers should be placed in one recycling bin while office paper and newsprint must be separated, Wooten noted. If each recycling station were equipped with three bins that reflected these guidelines, the process of disposing the materials would be simpler for housekeepers. Wooten added that student proactivity is key to the success ofall of EA’s initiatives. “Our main goal with all these campaigns we’re working on right now is to raise awareness,” she said. “We want students to think when they make decisions.”

balls. In each round, robots started in the center of the court and shot the balls into the opposite goals. Although students could not use their robots to attack the opponent’s machine, defensive maneuvers were allowed—including dropping metal parts in front of the opponent’s goal and shot-blocking. Team members and their friends gathered around the small court to cheer through eight rounds, ending with the announcement of “Johnny V”—designed by senior John Cornwell and sophomore Hardy Shen—as the champion. The duo took home a grand prize of $5OO and also scored a $lOO award for “Best-Looking” robot. “At the end, it was just a ‘get a couple in fast and block’ strategy,” Shen said. Cornwell said he would use the prize money to buy more parts. Freshmen Willie Du, Jason Greenhut and Michael Spohn won a second place award of $2OO and a “Best Design” prize of $lOO for theirrobot “J.

There was a record 28 robots one year, Kielb said. He noted that this year’s completely voluntary competition led to a lower turnout than usual. “We had less participation this year, but we had a really good crowd and good competition and some really impressive machines, so it exceeded my expectations,” Kielb said, adding that he hopes to add a class specifically for the design contest to the MEMS curriculum.

THE CHRONICLE

Duke seniors JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams were named ACC Player of the Year and ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors, respectively, for the second consecutive year Tuesday. The two stars, who were also unanimous selections to the All-ACC First Team that was announced Monday, formed a tandem that led the Blue Devils to a 27-3 record and the conference’s regular-season title. Redick got all but three of the first-place votes from the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association—North Carolina freshman Tyler Hansbrough earned the rest—and Williams received 104 of a possible 108 votes. Second in the nation in scoring at 27.8 points per game, Redick became the 10th player in league history to win the award in back-to-back seasons. His scoring average was the highest conference mark since David Thompson averaged 29.9 points per game in 1975. The All-American topped the 30-point mark 14 times this season, setting a Duke record. “Individually, I had a great year, but I’m more happy we had a great year as a team,” Redick said. Redick’s offensive statistics this season are among the most impressive in Duke history. He is just eight points shy of matching Jason Williams for the highest scoring total in a single season. He also broke Johnny Dawkins’ all-time Duke scoring record and surpassed Dickie Hemric to become the ACC’s all-time points leader with 2,638 in his career against Temple Feb. 25.

Bajoczky’s gem leads Duke by

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

After suffering one of its toughest losses of the year in extra innings Sunday to Maryland, Duke responded with one of its best performances of the young season in a 4-1 victory over LaSalle Tuesday afternoon. The Blue Devils (6-10) rode their second complete game in five days and outstanding defense to the bounce-back victory at Jack Coombs Field. Starter Tony Bajoczky (1-4) went the distance for Duke, allowing only five hits and one earned run while striking out nine Explorers. “[Tony] was really aggressive and throwing strikes,” head coach Sean McNally said. “He kept the defense on its toes behind him.” The defense behind Bajoczky was a big reason the junior picked up his first win of the season. Freshman catcher MattWilliams caught two Explorers stealing, each time helping prevent LaSalle (1-8) from taking an early lead. Williams caught lead-off man Billy Kem stealing second in the first inning, then nabbed Justin Handler at second with two outs and runners on the comers in the third, allowing Bajoczky and the Blue Devils to escape unscathed. The Duke fielders had Bajoczky’s back again in the fifth, turning a 6-4-3 double play to escape a bases loaded jam and keep the game tied at one. A second double play two innings later ended another potential

The Blue Devils broke a 1-1 tiewith a three-run seventh inning to give the team a much-needed win. Duke’s offense tookfull advantage of that opportunity, finally breaking the game open with timely hitting in the seventh inning. Two Duke batters were hit by pitches and Daniel Palmer’s bunt loaded the bases for the Blue Devils with nobody out. Unlike Sunday, when Duke squandered a similar chance in the twelfth inning of its loss to Maryland, the Blue Devils got the hits they needed to take the lead. Javier Socorro knocked in freshman Tim Sherlock with a sacrifice fly to break the tie. The next batter, Williams, came through with the biggest hit of the game, lacing a 2-strike pitch through LaSalle’s drawn-in infield for two more runs and a

4-1 advantage.

Bajoczky nailed it down from there, securing the victory with two more scoreless frames. Explorer starter Dan Waters (0-2) took the loss despite striking out seven Blue Devils in six and one-third innings. “It’s especially important after coming off that tough loss to start over and start fresh,” McNally said. “I was really proud of the way we responded. Duke will look to continue its momentum Wednesday, when it once again hosts LaSalle at 3 p.m. Junior Danny Otero (30, 0.45 ERA), fresh off a complete game of his own Friday, will take the mound for the Blue Devils.

The top-ranked Blue Devils fell to fourth place at the California Guadalajara Invitational Tuesday in Mexico. Duke carded a 5-over-par 293 in the tournament’s opening round and sat in third place, but the Blue Devils turned in a 9-over performance in the second day of action and No. 3 Arizona moved into third. “We’ve played some good golf, but certainly not the level of golf we are capable of,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “We’ve had many birdies, but we’ve had some uncharacteristic over-par holes.” Duke is trailing fifth-ranked Southern California by 15 strokes and No. 2 UCLA by a dozen heading into the final 18 holes. Freshman Amanda Blumenherst and junior Anna Grzebien, ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, are in a fifth-place tie at l-over par. Grzebienfired a 2-under-par 70 in the tournament’s first round, but stumbled some Tuesday and shot a 75. After turning in a 5-over-par round Monday, sophomore Jennifer Pandolfi rebounded and finished l-over on the second day to move into a tie for 21st place. “I’ve seen considerable good play from our players here in Mexico,” Brooks said. “If the numbers don’t come down here, they will soon.”

If anything, the Blue Devils are now even more motivated to achieve what they have set out all season to do, she said. As part of the team’s recommitment to its objectives, practices this week are going to focus on several areas in which Duke struggled at the end regular season—rebounding, efficiency in transition, and team defense. “We’ve been out-rebounded three out of our last four games,” Goestenkors said. “We were one of the best rebounding teams in the country earlier in the season and now we’re being beat on the boards.” In its loss to Maryland in the ACC Tournament, Duke was out-rebounded 30-18 on the defensive glass.

I can’t tell you how many times I found myself jumping up-and-down yelling, “Stop the ball!” as one of the Tar Heels broke down Duke’s defense. With the Blue Devils up one at halftime, I said to my friend, “We’re fine. There’s no way they can keep this pace up the whole game.” Suffice it to say that I was wrong. Very, very wrong. Williams kept running players in off the bench and got the most out of them. Thomas, who has struggled much of the season, notched six points and three assists while turning the ball over just once in 11 minutes. Sean Dockery and Josh Mcßoberts had identical combined numbers to Thomas —but it took them four times as long to do so. Williams was able to keep his young

tense situations. When DeMarcus Nelson drilled his second three-pointer in less than a minute and Cameron was louder than I’ve ever heard any sporting arena, I figured the Tar Heels would finally succumb. Even the most ardent Carolina fans must have been worried at that moment that those freshmen would fold under pressure. But in the most vaunted environment in college basketball, Williams had the confidence to put the ball in the hands of two of his freshman and let them decide the game. They did not disappoint. Hansbrough and Eraser went to the line six times and nailed all six attempts in the final 30 seconds of the game, icing the win and ruining Duke’s Senior Night. With 2:30 remaining, Hansbrough left a free throw short. On the sideline, Williams waved his arms violendy trying to get his prodigy’s attention. When Hansbrough finally looked over, Williams made a free-throw shooting motion and took a step forward, reminding Hansbrough to stay balanced on his shot and not fall away from it. And the freshman did, making his next five attempts and carrying his team to victory on his precocious shoulders. Williams should be infinitely praised for how well he has groomed his star freshman. Not since Carmelo Anthony has college basketball seen a freshman as dominant as Hansbrough. Sure, the babyfaced 20-year-old looks lost on the court at times and yes, he gets visibly angry at himself when he makes a mistake, but Williams has done a heck of a job teaching him how to handle himself. When Sean Dockery knocked him to the floor in the game’s closing seconds, Hansbrough reacted like a seasoned veteran, getting to his feet and walking straight to the free throw line. As much as people talk about making “freshman mistakes,” Williams and the Tar Heels made so few in an environment where people expected them to crumble, especially after a poor start. From Saturday’s performance, I gained the utmost respect for Roy Williams and what he has done in bringing that team together. But I still hate his Carolina bluejacket.

a play-in game, meaning they had to win two games to advance to the ACC Championship game. UNC earned the fourth seed and won its first round match-up against Virginia Tech, and then had to quickly turn around to play the Blue Devils in the ACC semifinals the following day. In the game, the rested Duke team, which had secured the No. 1 seed, took advantage of a tired UNC squad, jumped out a three-goal halftime advantage and held on for an 11-9 victory. “Carolina was worn out because they had to play in the play-in game,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “It was really hard for them to play back-to-back games.” An early-season victory against No. 3 UNC (3-0, 1-0) will bolster Duke’s ACC record and put them on firm footing to win its second straight regular-season title. Getting a win is particularly vital because of the strength of the rest of the conference —four of the teams are ranked in the nation’s top 10, including No. 10 Virginia, which eliminated the Blue Devils in the NCAA semifinals last season. A victory over the Tar Heels, however, is far from certain. UNC is not the squad it was last year and returns talented players who were riddled with injury all oflast season. The Tar Heels were without two-year

starters Melissa McCarthy and Brooke Diennger —two of the team’s top five scorers from the 2004 squad—because of injuries they incurred before the season even began. This year, the two have returned and, so far, have combined for nine goals, nearly a quarter of UNC’s scoring. “I think Carolina was in a tough spot last year,” Kimel said. “They had five or six kids who suffered injuries and they were in a different place then they are now. They have, some more experience and talented players. And with those kids returning along with some additional freshmen, they are very deep and we ex-

pect a tough matchup.” So far this season, the Tar Heels’ defense has been feisty, holding each of its three opponents to just four goals—including a 12-4 win over No. 14 Loyola. The Blue Devils will try to counter the Tar Heel defense with the scoring duo of junior Kristen Waagbo and senior Katie Chrest, who was named ACC Player of the Week March 7. The two have combined for 26 goals and nine assists this season. Kimel said since the two have played together for three years, they are able to play off of each other’s strengths. “Katie and I are both offensive minded,” Waagbo said. “We are usually on the same page with things and have a lot of confidence in each other. We’ve clicked really well.”

M.LAX from page 11 win today.”

Shelden Williams was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year for the secondconsecutive year.

M.BBALL from page 11 Blue Devils offensively, Williams is just as vital to Duke at the other end of the court, head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. The reigning National Defensive Player of the Year, Williams has increased his block average to more than 3.7 per game and has also become more adept at reading passing lanes. The senior is leading Duke in steals with 58. “IfI see my teammates getting beat, they can trust that I’ll be there for the last line of defense, and for me to be able to help them out is a great feeling,” Williams said. Although Redick has received most of the fanfare for the Blue Devils this season as a result of his record pursuits, Williams has quietly become Duke’s all-time blocks leader and is closing in on Mike Gminski for the school’s rebounding mark. He currently sits tenth in ACC history in career rebounds.

Despite leading at halftime, 7-0, Duke had not shoot well, connecting on just 7of-35 shots. The Blue Devils controlled play the entire half but had trouble finding the net. Duke turned up the offensive intensity in the third quarter, scoring four goals in the first three minutes and eight in the period. Midfielder Peter Lamade started the flurry of goals 40 seconds into the quarter. The junior took a pass from Kyle Dowd just left of the goalie and quickly launched a shot past Matt Fallon for the man-up goal. After two goals in quick succession by Zach Greer and Mike Catalino, Greer finished the blitz as Matt Danowski drew the bulk of the Crusader defense and dumped a pass to Greer for a simple finish and an 11-0 lead with 12:37 remaining in the quarter. Lamade and Greer both finished the contest with a game-high three goals. “Coach Pressler always says the first five minutes of the third quarter are the most important part of the game,” Lamade said. “We only had seven goals in the first half and I think you want to come out fast. Just coming out strong in the third quarter is important for games we are going to have later in the season.” With the game in hand after Greer’s goal, Pressler replaced most of the starters with substitutes in order to give them playing time. The Duke secondteam continued to outplay Holy Cross, outscoring the Crusaders 9-2 over the game’s final 25 minutes. “It’s also nice to get some guys in,” defenseman Tony McDevitt said. “You know, they practice so hard during the week and go against the first team and

KEVIN HWANG/THE CHRONICLE

The entire Duke team got into the action Tuesday against Holy Cross with 14 players scoring goals. it’s great to see some of them get a chance to go play and score some goals and make some nice hits.” Holy Cross was clearly overwhelmed, and registered zero shots on goal in the second quarter. The Duke offense controlled the ball for the majority of the game and the Crusaders even had trouble when the Blue Devils turned the ball over, converting on just two of 12 clears in the first half. “It’s great, [the offensive players] sit down there and have 2-minute long possessions,” McDevitt said. “You’re getting like 4 or 5 shots on each possession. We’re not even seeing much action down

our end. The best defense is our offense sometimes.” Holy Cross finally scored with 8:35 remaining in the third quarter. Paul Leßlanc sent a pass from the left side to Billy Klotz just in front of the goal, who snuck a shot past Blue De\dl backup goalie Rob Schroeder to end the shutout. John O’Sullivan added an unassisted goal in the beginning of the fourth quarter to finish the Crusaders’ scoring. “They were outmanned,” Pressler said. “It was a speed factor, we had a few more athletes and our guys were hungry to play. The sting of Saturday was still there. We took care ofbusiness and played well.” at

cation barrier is knocked down, Campus Council will be able to better represent student interests in RLHS policy decisions—or so we hope. While RLHS should seriously listen to and consider Campus Council’s suggestions and input, Campus Council must understand how much it ultimately depends on RLHS. The Council receives financial backing from RLHS and falls under its auspices. Nicole Manley, assistant dean for staff development, advising and assessment for RLHS and adviser to the Council, responded to the formal complaint with a threat to reorganize Campus Council. Student legislators, take note: Just as RLHS can give, it can also take away.

Thus, even when facing calls for its dissolution, the Council should not act in an unnecessarily forceful or demanding way in its dealings with RLHS. The student representatives should act with collective and emphatic assertion, tact and respect in order to achieve what they desire—the ear of RLHS. In the future, Campus Council President Jay Ganatra must more effectively handle these communication mishaps. First off, he should recognize them sooner. RLHS’ decision to create the LCEC was on the RLHS website for weeks before Campus Council became aware of the development. When they did find out, their source was not Hull, RLHS or its digital counterpart. Rather, it was a story

printed in The Chronicle Second, Ganatra must do a better job of dissuading his fellow representatives from saying inflammatory things or inciting unnecessary con-

flict between the Council and RLHS. The formal complaint they issued took a tone that could have warranted administrative backlash, and the last thing Ganatra should want is further restriction of the Council’s

privileges. The voice of students is

important when it comes to

issues of campus life, so RLHS must take Campus Council’s suggestions into consideration. Both sides must work diligently to repair the damage caused by communication glitches, and they must also prevent similar breakdowns from occurring in the future.

length of the spring move-out period. Once that communi-

Robertsons respect and appreciate Duke We were deeply disappointed by Sarah Hosstetter’s March 7 letter, which accused the UNC Robertson scholars who attended Saturday night’s game of behaving in a shameful, appalling, cowardly and classless manner. As representatives of our home school, we went to a great effort not to warrant any of those claims and to respect the traditions of both schools. That night we screamed our hearts out to support our beloved Tar Heels while saying nothing disrespectful to Duke—not one word. Our signs advocated love, not hate. We understand Hosstetter’s contention that we were “masquerading as someone [we’re] not” by wearing Duke blue to the game, but we pride ourselves on being part of—and contributing to —the Duke community. Our appreciation for this place only grows as we explore Duke and become more involved here. If Duke finds itself in the National Championship against any team but UNC, we will cheer as eagerly for a Blue Devil victory. That night we wore Duke blue solely for safety’s sake. Since significant quantities of alcohol had been added to an already intense rivalry, we decided to avoid any unnecessary pregame conflict. Our concerns were well founded: Even though we were standing behind UNC’s bench during the game, we were subject to numerous taunts, threats and projectiles. Duke and UNC are both fantas-

tic schools, and we pride ourselves on trying to bridge the gap between them. While this rivalry often degenerates into hate, we see it as much more about respect and honor for one’s opponent than anything else. Above all, we thank the Duke community for allowing us to take part in the incredible K-ville and Cameron experiences. The conventional wisdom is that the Dean Dome in no way compares to the intimacy of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Now we know why. Alex Snider

Trinity/UNC ’OB The UNC Robertson Scholars House purchases are harmful to Duke’s social scene Echoing Elliott Wolf’s column, “Some friendly neighborhood stabilization” (March 7), the University’s choice to further limit the student body’s off-campus housing seems like the proverbial next step in our University’s social decline. As oncampus parties were afflicted by ever increasingly tight alcohol regulations, student parties moved off campus, where ALE made its landmark appearance. Duke retains its stringent alcohol policy on campus anyway. Since ALE failed in its attempt to stop student partying, this purchase seems like the desperate next step in tightening the revelers’ nooses. It has long been speculated that Duke’s disturbing constriction of parties on campus would

lead to dangerous off-campus events, not only because of the threat of automobile injuries, but also because of their relative intensity. On-campus parties can be monitored and allowed to proceed without casualty if observation is done in a mature fashion. However, as long as the University feels the need to improve its neighborhood relations, it will not only prevent on-campus parties but, as we have seen, also prevent them from occurring off-campus as well. The administration now faces a choice. On one hand, the current path of action may inspire partiers to flock to extra-Durham locations (e.g., Chapel Hill) to meet their alcohol needs, consequently preventing any kind of Duke-provided safety net for those students, or more intense, isolated events may occur even further off East Campus, further tensing town-gown relations. Again, these events could go unobserved and result in tragedy. The other option would simply relax on-campus drinking

regulations.

Treating students as adults

might actually make future offcampus residents a little more

respectful of alcohol consump-

tion. Either way, the University has blindly wasted nearly $4 million on something that wouldn’t have been an issue if alcohol monitoring had not been so strict to start.

The father had disappeared after the boy’s death, never to be seen in this episode. The reason for haunting the mother? She was a successful career woman and hadn’t spent enough time with him As a ghost, he was driving away nannies so that she would have to spend time with the baby. freHR '9k The show’s premise raises an issue brought up again and again by women in graduate or professional school. We heather dean are at Duke in order to the other half enable our careers. But much of society seems to expect that we’ll drop it all to become mothers. Pop culture advances the view that a mother’s place is in the home. At the end of the episode, the career woman promises to give up work to spend more time with her daughter. It doesn’t seem to matter that the father is absent, so long as children have a mother at home. It’s a catch-22 for women. Those who focus on a career are seen as ignoring their responsibilities, whether they have children or not. Many women who have decided to not have children will tell you about the questions and censure they receive. How many of you have already dealt with the question, “When are you going to settle down and start a family?” Women who have children and pursue a high-powered career are viewed as bad mothers. In Marie Wilson’s book Closing the Leadership Gap: Why Women Can and Must Help Run the World, she reports the results of a 2001 RoperASW poll thatfound that 56 percent ofAmericans find it more acceptable for men to work overtime and not spend time with families. On the other hand, 73 percent found it more acceptable for women to be the primary caregivers and give up careers. Men who have 80-hour work weeks are providing well for their families, which is the accepted role for men in our society. In fact, that role is often used as a justification for outright discrimination. I’ve heard more than one female speaker this year mention discrepancies in hiring or pay because “he has to support a family.” Many women today enter partnerships with the assumption that it’s a new world now—men and women can and should share responsibilides at home equally. Most later find that life doesn’t work out that way. In the book The Bitch in the House, essayist Hope Edelman wrote a piece called “The Myth of Co-Parendng” in which she talks about slowly giving up her career to parent while her husband worked up to 92 hours per week. It was supposed to be an equal partnership, but as with many couples, he brought home the bigger paycheck, and when push came to shove, she had to choose between taking on childcare responsibilities or going through the guilt many women associate with hiring help. Some equal partnerships do work out. In the same book, Laurie Abraham writes about sharing the childcare responsibilities with her husband and the guilt and competition she feels to be the “better parent.” Even when couples do work together, women feel the pressure to be the nurturing one. The issue of balancing career and motherhood—or protecting the right of women to choose to not have children without censure —is not one that Duke alone can tackle. As evidenced by the current culture, including the latest episode of Ghost Whisperer, this is a societal problem. It’s one that women in graduate or professional school discuss at meeting after meeting. There is good news, though. Even at Duke, times are changing. The Women’s Initiative two years ago found in the Medical Center a generational gap between male doctors. Members of the older generation, many of whom had stay-at-home wives when they were raising families, couldn’t understand the younger men who refuse to work through the night because they’re expected at home to put the kids to bed. Maybe there is progress. Maybe. I still intend to seriously negotiate parental duties before starting a family, and I hope that society will become more accepting of the choices women make when it comes to balancing career and family. >
