Fuqua dean to step down in summer 'O7 by

Steve Veres

THE CHRONICLE

Douglas Breeden, dean of the Fuqua School of Business, will resign effective June 30, 2007, University administrators announced March 13.

Breeden has 1 e d Fuqua since 2001. He will resu m e teaching and researching after he steps down, retain-

ing his appointment as the William W. Priest Professor ofFinance at Fuqua.

Breeden said in a statement that although he has enjoyed his time as dean, next year is the right time for him to step down.

“My major goal during the past year has been raising funds for our new classroom building and library. I am now confident

that we will have the building under construction in the near future, well before I step down as dean,” Breeden said. “We have also just completed our new strategic plan, and while I will move forward with implementing the plan between now and 2007, I feel like it is a natural time to pass the baton to a new dean.”

Breeden will leave his post with several years remaining in his contract. He was reappointed as dean for a second five-year term in February 2005.

“When we discussed reappointment with Dean Breeden at the time, he indicated he might not wish to complete his second term,” Provost Peter Lange wrote in an e-mail. “We were not disheartened by that since it is often the case that reappointed administrators are not sure how long they will be able to sustain their enthusiasm and live with the stresses of their positions.”

Lange said it is not infrequent for a dean to step down SEE BREEDEN ON PAGE 12

GREENSBORO Duke is still on the road to the Final Four.

The No. 1 seeded Blue Devils knocked off eighth-seeded George Washington, 74-61, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday afternoon to earn their ninth consecutive trip to the Sweet 16.

Duke will take on fourth-seeded LSU at 7:10 p.m. Thursday night at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta for a spot in the Elite Eight.

J.J. Redick hit a three-pointer in the game’s opening minute and Duke (32-3) went on to lead wireto-wire against the Colonials (273) at the Greensboro Coliseum.

“We played really well,” head coach Mike Rrzyzewski said. “I just felt it [Friday] at practice, that we’re finally in the NCAA Tournament. Our kids were excited. We didn’t even use the full [practice] time. I didn’t want to use the energy.”

If that was not enough, Duke finally put Southern away for good when the Blue Devils raced out of the locker room with a 12-0 run in the first four minutes of the second half to go ahead 52-18.

“I thought this was a good start for us,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Initially in the first half we had good energy, we just didn’t have great focus.... I felt like it was us getting the rust off, having not played in two weeks.”

BAGHDAD, Iraq As the Iraq war entered its fourth year, nearly 1,500 U.S. and Iraqi soldiers sought to root out insurgents from farming villages an hour’s drive north of the capital, Sunday. At least 35 people died in insurgent and sectarian violence nationwide.

Although some students may think they had a rocky time getting back from Spring Break, it’s likely they haven’t talked to David Shipman.

The 20-year-old Duke sophomore fell at least 40 feet while cave climbing with friends Thursday near his home outside Tucson. He was trapped in a cave alone for about 12 hours before rescue crews were able to reach him.

Shipman, an experienced climber, is unsure, of exacdy how his accident took place. He postulated that it might have involved a jammed carabineer.

Just before his fall, Shipman told his friends that he was going to search for his camera’s lost memory card and that he would be back in half an hour.

Bies, who was a cadet in the Army ROTC at Duke, had been stationed in Iraq since early February.

He and four other soldiers in his platoon were conducting a routine sweep on a road near Tal Afar, a northern Iraqi city of 250,000 people, when an improvised explosive device struck their Humvee.

The bomb, which had been remote detonated, threw the vehicle into the air and onto its side. The driver of the Humvee was killed almost immediately, and the soldier in the seat behind him had to have one of his legs amputated.

“There was a loud explosion and then everything was white,” said Bies, who was sitting next to the driver. “I couldn’t see for a few seconds... but I could tell I was bleeding.”

From staff reports Durham Police Department is investigating an alleged rape of a young woman by three males at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. over Spring Break.

Duke recently purchased the rented residence from a local landlord.

The alleged assault was reported early in the morning of Tuesday, March 14.

The young woman arrived at the house for a party at around 11:30 p.m.

Monday, March 13 and reportedly left after midnight, Sgt. M.D. Gottlieb of Durham Police District 2 Investigations wrote in an e-mail to a community listserv.

He encouraged individuals in the area at the time to report to DPD if they “saw or heard anything unusual.”

Gottlieb could not be reached for

It is the third anniversary of the war in Iraq, and First Lieutenant Charles Bies, Pratt ’O4, is recuperating in a military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany.

Bies sustained injuries after his Humvee was struck by a roadside bomb 20 minutes after midnight March 7, lodging shrapnel and broken glass in his face and left eye.

Despite near loss of vision, Bies, the leader of a 16-member platoon, is now mostly concerned about returning to his fellow soldiers who are still stationed in northern Iraq.

“I really don’t need much more time [to heal],” Bies said. “I’m just really anxious to get back down to where my guys are. We’re sort of like a family.... I don’t like the idea of them being in harm’s way without me being with them.”

The house at 610 N. Buchanan is one of 12 in the Trinity Park neighborhood that Duke purchased from Trinity Properties, a local real estate firm, in early March.

The University bought, in total, 15 properties near East Campus for approximately $3.7 million.

The purchased homes are mostly student-occupied, and many are the frequent subjects of noise, trash and partying complaints filed by Trinity Park residents.

Duke plans to turn the houses into single-occupancy residences.

The University unveiled its new homepage last week after delaying the redesign for nearly three months.

Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, who confessed to a March 3 attack at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, appeared again in court—albeit briefly— Thursday afternoon.

The recent UNC graduate, who drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee through a popular gathering place at his alma mater, is being charged with nine counts of attempted first-degree murder. Before his hearing Thursday, Taheri-azar sent letters to media outlets in which he cited the Koran to justify his actions.

His statements were subsequently condemned by local Muslim leaders.

Before his Thursday hearing, Taheriazar was rushed by deputies through the backdoor of an Orange County courtroom, dodging the hordes of media who awaited the defendant.

At the hearing, which lasted fewer

than five minutes, the judge set the date for Taheri-azar’s probable cause hearing for March 24. At the hearing, a district court judge will determine if the evidence is sufficient to continue the case Since Taheriazar did not request a reduction to his jail bond which is set at $5.5. million—the court was then adjourned.

The previous homepage served too many functions and audiences at once, and officials decided to reexamine the site’s purpose, said David Jarmul, associate vice president for news and communications.

“With its focus on external audiences the new homepage seeks to provide easy navigation and to promote Duke’s strategic priorities, such as the arts and global health,” Jarmul noted. “We’ve chosen a design that highlights these elements.”

Designers added new material to Duke Today—including daily updates on campus events, a “Duke in the News” section and a “News You Can Use” section on everything from local work opportunities to security alerts.

“People on campus who’ve been using the Duke homepage as their personal homepage or preferred Duke search site should switch to Duke Today,” Jarmul said. “They’ll find Duke Today much more interesting and useful. There’s no need for them to visit the Duke homepage much anymore.”

PARIS Police loosed water cannons and tear gas on rioting students and activists rampaged through a McDonald’s and attacked store fronts in the capital Saturday as demonstrations against a plan to relax job protections spread in a widening arc across France.

The protests, which drew 500,000 people in some 160 cities across the country, were the biggest show yet of escalating anger that is testing the strength of the conservative government before elections next year.

At the close of a march in Paris that drew a crowd of tens of thousands, seven officers and 17 protesters were injured during two melees, at the Place de la Nation in eastern Paris and the Sorbonne University. Police said they arrested 156 people in the French capital.

Four cars were set afire, police said, and a McDonald’s restaurant was attacked along with store fronts at the close of the march.

Tensions escalated later Saturday as about 500 youths moved on to the Sorbonne, trying to break through tall metal blockades erected after police stormed the Paris landmark a week ago to dislodge occupying students. The university has become a symbol of the protest.

Police turned water cannons on the protesters at the Sorbonne and were seen throwing youths to the ground, hitting them and dragging them into vans.

Belarus re elects incumbent amid protests by

Yuras Karmanau

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINSK, Belarus

Thousands of pro-

testers thronged the main square of the

Belarusian capital Sunday in defiance of a government ban, refusing to recognize a presidential vote that gave a landslide—and largely expected— victory to the ironfisted incumbent.

At the opposition demonstration in the capital’s main square—the largest in years—protesters chanted “Long Live Belarus!” and the name of the main opposition candidate.

Some waved a historic flag that President Alexander Lukashenko had replaced with a Soviet-style design, while others waved European Union flags.

Lukashenko won a third term with 82.6 percent of the vote, compared with 6 percent for Alexander Milinkevich, the main opposition candidate, the Central Election Commission chief said early Monday, citing a nearly complete preliminary count from Sunday’s balloting.

Turnout was 92.6 percent, the commission said.

“We demand new, honest elections,” Milinkevich told the crowd Sunday evening. “This was a complete farce.”

Milinkevich called on the crowd, which began thinning under a heavy snow, to return to the square Monday evening—signaling the opposition would try to hold a sustained protest of the sort that brought down long-lived regimes in former Soviet republics including Ukraine and Georgia.

“It will be a peaceful demonstration.We will come out With flowers,” Milinkevich said earlier in the day, after voting.

Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus since 1994, had promised to prevent the

kind of mass rallies that helped bring opposition leaders to power elsewhere.

The use or threat of force neutralized opposition efforts to protest vote results in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan last year, and a government crackdown in Uzbekistan left hundreds dead.

Despite the government ban, police did not move to disperse the crowd. The gathering was the biggest the opposition had mustered in years, reaching at least 10,000 before it started thinning out, according to AP reporters’ estimates.

“The Belarusian mentality is to sit home and watch their stupid state TV,” said one protester, who gave only his first name, Ivan, forfear of reprisals. “I came to hear a brave man speak.”

People blew horns and shouted “Mi-linke-vlch!”—echoing the much larger crowds on Kiev’s Independence Square in neighboring Ukraine’s 2004 Orange Revolution, which inspired the Belarus opposition.

“I came here to find out the real results of the election,” said Veronika Danilyuk, a 19-year-old student. “I believe that he’s the only one who can guarantee freedom and fairness to our country.”

The Soviet past is palpable in Belarus.

The government makes five-year plans, the main state newspaper has “Soviet” in its title and the state security service is officially called the KGB. Underlying the election is a struggle for regional influence between Russia and the West, which is seen by Lukashenko’s government and its backers in Moscow as a major culprit in the political upheaval in Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan.

a repeat in Belarus, one of the few former Soviet republics still loyal to theKremlin.

Alexander Kozulin, another opposition candidate, demanded authorities release what he said were hundreds of opposition activists detained during the

campaign.

The elections were being overseen by about 400 monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

“These elections will be recognized neither by us nor by democratic countries,” Milinkevich told a news conference earlier in the day.

Western countries have forged close ties with the opposition and made no secret of their contempt for the ruler ofwhat Washington calls an outpost of tyranny in

Europe.

The United States has condemned the campaign as “seriously flawed and tainted.” Lukashenko dismissed international criticism.

“We in Belarus are conducting the election for ourselves,” he said. “What is important is that elections take place in accordance with Belarusian legislation. As for sweeping accusations, I’ve been hearing them for 10 years. I’ve already gotten used to them.”

The state has mounted a campaign of threats and allegations of violent, foreignbacked overthrow plots that its opponents say is aimed at frightening people and justifying the potential use of force against

protesters. Security was tightened Sunday near the square and streets were also closed to traffic.

On Thursday, the KGB chief accused the opposition of plotting to seize power with foreign help by detonating bombs and sowing chaos on election day, and warned that protesters could be charged with terrorism.

Since 1994, Lukashenko has silenced foes and maintained his grip on power through votes dismissed as illegitimate by the opposition and Western governments. Four opponents disappeared in

1999-2000.

Many Belarusians nonetheless see the 51-year-old former collective farm manager as having brought stability following the 1991 Soviet collapse.

While the landlocked nation, about as big and flat as Kansas, is far from prosperous, the economy is growing and salaries are rising.

Even independent opinion polls suggested Lukashenko would win over-

whelmingly.

“Everyone’s for him, all my friends,” said Stanislava Rodnya, a 78-year-old retiree.

Critics say the economic successes are

unsustainable, based largely on cheap Russian energy and heavy-handed state intervention reminiscent of the communist era.

Studies by the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention indicate a higher rate of suicides among physicians than the general population. Additionally, female physicians have a higher suicide rate than male physicians-—about 250 percent to 400 percent higher among female physicians than other women, whereas suicide rates are about 70 percent higher among male physicians than other men.

More than 90 percent of all suicide victims have significant psychiatric illnesses at the time of their death. Mood disorders and substance abuse are the most common. Studies found that physicians fail to fully detect and treat depression in 40 percent to 60 percent of patients with mood disorders—which may indicate that physicians are likely to identify signs of depression in themselves.

The failure of medical students and physicians to seek out assistance when suffering from depression is another potential factor behind the higher rates. One study found that only about 22 percent of a group of medical students sought out mental health services after screening positive for depression; students largely cited lack of time, fear of documentation, fear of further intervention and similar concerns as their reasons for not seeking assistance.

THE CHRONICLE

Having watched the Colonials emto erase a 17-point deficit Thursday night against UNC-Wilmington, the Blue Devils knew what to expect from George Washington Saturday.

They were ready for GW’s full-court attack, and that is exactly what they got for a good portion of the game.

The Colonials threw all sorts of different defenses at Duke, changing from man-to-man to a l-3-l three-quarter-court press to a 2-2-1 (Same full-court attack, but none were capable analysis of holding down the Blue Devils.

Time after time, Duke was able to beat GW’s defense and have a numbers advantage in the half-court, allowing the Blue Devils to get easy layups.

Duke was so successful against the Colonial pressure that GW eventually went away from its strength, realizing that it was not slowing down the Blue Devils.

GREENSBORO JJ. Redick is the best free-throw shooter in the history of the ACC. In his first 137 games at Duke, the senior went 0-for-2 on a trip to the free-throw line just twice. Redick matched that number against George Washington Saturday.

For the game, he shot 2-for-7, setting a career-worst with five misses in a game. The first question many asked was whether the career-91.2 percent free-throw shooter had ever missed that many in a single game before.

Despite falling

behind, 7-1, in the second quarter, Duke (6-1, l-l in the ACC) rallied past North Carolina, 11-8, at Koskinen Stadium Saturday. The win came one week after the Blue Devils defeated No. 20 Loyola, 9-7, in San Diego.

North Carolina (2-6, 0-1) owned the first period Saturday, as the Tar Heels won five of six faceoffs and were able to control much of the possession. UNC rarely let Duke’s offense have the ball and scored five first-quarter goals to take a daunting 5-0 lead.

“They had a lot to gain from beating us, so I think they came out more focused than we did,” junior Matt Danowski said.

“Their offense played really well and I think our defense just played average in the first quarter. They were also able to really take advantage of man-up situations—they had two man-up goals—and that really helped them.”

UNC pushed the lead to six early in the second quarter before Danowski finally put Duke on the board with just less than 12 minutes remaining in the half.

The Tar Heels answered right back with Ryan Walterhoefer’s goal to push the lead to 7-1.

It took just a minute for Duke to cut UNO’s 7-3 halftime lead to two once the third quarter began. Senior Matt Zash

found Dan Flannery on a fast break just 18 seconds in, and sophomore Brad Ross scored off the ensuing faceoff.

“Brad Ross’s goal was the turning point of the game,” Danowski said.

“Those back-to-back goals made it 7-5, and 7-5 is a ball game.”

Kyle Dowd made it an even closer contest just seconds later, when he scored from the left side to bring the Blue Devils within one. Duke dominated the next 20 minutes, tallying four more goals to open up a 10-7 margin. The extended 9-0 run that spanned halftime and more than 30 minutes, put the Blue Devils in control.

Duke’s defense also tightened up in the second half, allowing just one goal on 15 shots.

“I think the defense definitely stepped up their game,” said junior goalkeeper Danny Loftus, who finished with 12 saves.

“I put it all on myself as far as the first half, but I regrouped and tried to just start over in the second half, and I did.”

Several Duke players said they were not worried by North Carolina’s fast start in large part because they have seen it before. Last year in Chapel Hill, the. Tar Heels dominated possession in the first half and built a two-goal halftime edge.

In that game, the Blue Devils used a quick start in the third period to tie the game and went on to win 12-10.

“At halftime, nobody was too worried or frantic, we knew we just had to stay calm and play our game,” Danowski said.

“When our offense is playing well, we can string goals together really quickly, and I think our experience helped us not to

First-half run spurs Duke to victory over Hoyas Taylor Field THE CHRONICLE

by

Duke rolled over No. 6 Georgetown Saturday to open its season with seven consecutive wins. The No. 2 Blue Devils (7-0), who were led by juniorKristen Waagbo, topped the Hoyas, 10-8, and improved to 5-0 against ranked teams.

“We had a great first half,” head coach Kerstin Kimel G-TOWN said. “We really DUKE 10 stuck to the game plan and attacked Georgetown’s weak points.”

Although the Hoyas (4-1) scored just two minutes into the game, Duke took control from there with a 7-1 run over the next 18 minutes. Waagbo was crucial to the spurt as she contributed three goals and two assists to the Blue Devil barrage. With Duke up 7-1, Georgetown’s Sara Zorzi and Lucy Poole each found the cage to cut the Blue Devil lead to four. But Waagbo and freshman Carolyn Davis scored back-toback goals to put Duke up 9-4 at the half.

“Kristen took advantage of some really great scoring opportunities, and when she went in to score, she finished,” Kimel said. “Her four goals in the first half set the tone for us. She was great on distributing the ball too and made really good decisions on offense.”

The Hoyas came out strong in the second half, scoring four unanswered goals to reduce the Blue Devil lead to one. Davis finally broke the Duke’s scoring drought with a free-position goal with only 5:25 left _

play, putting the Blue Devils up two, the game’s final margin.

“In the second half, we struggled to maintain composure and had a hard time winning the draw,” Kimel said. “Our girls kind of got nervous as Georgetown came back. We didn’t stick with our offense and we rushed our shots.”

Waagbo’s four goals and two assists take her season tally to 19 goals and 13 assists, moving her into a tie with Lauren Gallagher for fourth on Duke’s all-time career assist chart with 53.

Blue Devil goalie Megan Huether had seven saves and with the help of a tightened defense held the Hoyas scoreless for the final 10 minutes in their first loss of the to

season.

Duke had opened its spring break with a win over then-No. 6 Princeton, 13-11, March 12 at Princeton Stadium.

The game was close through the first 30 minutes, with Duke holding a 7-6 advantage at the half thanks to three goals by Waagbo, two from Davis and one each from Leigh Jester and Katie Chrest. The Blue Devils kicked off the second half with five quick goals to lead 12-6. Princeton fought its way back into the game, though, cutting the Duke lead to two with 27 seconds left, but it was too little, too late. “[We are] excited about where we are in the season,” Kimel said. “We’re 7-0, we probably have played the hardest schedule in the country, and we haven’t even played our best lacrosse yet so we’re pretty excited about that.”

Williams sets Duke career boards mark by

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

GREENSBORO

Throughout the

season, the national media has given a lot of attention to the success of JJ. Redick. After all, he has broken several Duke, ACC and NCAA records.

But teammate Shelden Williams has set a few marks of his own and the big man has not been in the spotlight as much as Redick. Saturday against

George Washington, Williams became Duke’s all-time leading rebounder without much fanfare.

His 14 rebounds propelled him past Mike Gminski into first place on an illustrious list that includes names like Christian Laettner and Shane Battier.

And still, very few have given the Landlord his due.

But his coach recognizes just how special his contributions have been.

“He’s great in every sense of the word,” head coach* Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s going to go down as one of the great players in this conference and at Duke. He’s broken all of these records and I think he’s scored over 1,900 points. He’s such a team guy.”

At the offensive end, Williams moved within 19 points of Grant Hill and 13th-place on the Duke career scoring list. If the Blue Devils play through the NCAA finals this season, Williams needs just less than 20 points per game—79 total—to finish his career in 10th place.

“He was huge for us,” Redick said after Saturday’s game. “He broke a record for us today... with career rebounding and he’s been such a good player for us, such a great player, and it’s been an honor to play with him.”

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

Freshman Josh Mcßoberts notched his second career double-double against GeorgeWashington with 14 points and 13 rebounds in 35 minutes of playing time.

M. BBALL fromTC page 1 14 points and 13 rebounds, and senior Shelden Williams added 14 boards to pass Mike Gminski and become Duke’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,249.

Redick and Williams combined to score 58 ofDuke’s 70 points in the team’s opening round victory over 16th-seeded Southern, but Duke had a much more balanced attack against the Colonials with Mcßoberts and fellow freshman Greg Paulus joining their senior teammates in double figures.

“When my two freshmen are playing like that, it brings everybody together,” Krzyzewski said. “They’re very competitive kids and diey have such good game personalities, that when they allow themselves to show it which they do much of the time but not all of die time—dien we’re just better.”

With the Blue Devils pulling away early in the second half, Mcßoberts sent a backdoor pass to Redick. The senior caught the ball in stride and converted an acrobatic reverse layup while drawing a foul on George Washington forward Omar Williams.

Redick, who missed a career-high five free throws in the game, failed to complete the three-point play, but the bucket still gave Duke an 18-point advantage. The margin was the largest of the afternoon for the Blue Devils, and even after not recording a point for the next four and a half —

minutes, they remained nine points ahead.

Duke kept its comfortable advantage despite its lack of scoring by continuing its smothering defense and keeping the Colonials off the offensive glass, something they had struggled to do in the first half.

“We feel like any time we’re playing defense like that, no matter what kind of offensive droughts we have, we’re going to put ourselves in a position to win,” said Redick, who led Duke with 20 points. “We just played great defense, forced them to take tough shots.”

George Washington shot just 30.9 percent from the field in the game, including a stretch offour missed shots in the closing possession of the first half when the Colonials could have cut their deficit to single digits heading into the locker room.

After allowing George Washington to grab 14 offensive rebounds in the opening half, Duke regrouped at the break and gave up only five in the second.

“In the second half, we had all five guys helping out,” Williams said. “That was a key to the game. We knew that, especially in the first half, they were sending a lot of their taller guys to the boards, so, if we wanted to win the game, we needed to have five guys rebounding on the defensive end, not just one or two.”

Thursday’s opening round game with Southern was not as pretty. Williams and Redick stepped up, scoring 29 points apiece, and Mcßoberts added eight, but no other Blue Devil had a field goal in the

win against the overmatched Jaguars.

Paulus highlighted Duke’s struggles, turning the ball over seven times and not scoring until the final minute, when he hit a pair of free throws with the game already decided.

“We’re not who we are without him,” Krzyzewski said of his point guard after the Blue Devils’ 70-56 win. “He didn’t have the game that he would like, but we wouldn’t be a No. 1 seed if he didn’t play well.”

Duke lost in the Sweet 16 last season to Michigan State, an eventual Final Four team, and will have to get through LSU this year to get to the Elite Eight. Should the Blue Devils advance to the Elite Eight, they would face the winner of second-seeded Texas and sixth-seeded West Virginia.

LSU took down Texas A&M Saturday night in a thrilling 58-57 victory. With his team trailing by two and less than five seconds remaining, Tiger senior guard Darrel Mitchell drilled a three from well beyond the arc to keep LSU alive for at least one more round.

With the win, the Tigers advance to the regional semifinals for the first time since 2000. The Blue Devils’ seniors have now reached the Sweet 16 during all four years, but have advanced past just once —a trip to the Final Four in 2004.

“For us to go to the Sweet 16, only 15 other teams can say that, so I think that’s a big goal for our basketball team,” Williams said. “I think that’s a big accomplishment, but hopefully we don’t just stop there.”

dribbled their the the game, alcourt throughout way up lowing Duke to stay in control.

“The biggest thing for us .our hanthe head coach Mike of pressure,” dling Krzyzewski said. “[Josh] makes so many good decisions on inbounding the ball and he can handlie it like a guard. He gives us a great weapon against pressure.”

As any coach will say, the key to breaking a press is not being able to dribble through it but to be able to pass around, under and over it and getting easy buckets once the defense has broken down. Instead of having their guards try to dribble through pressure, the Blue Devils used their big men as release valves when the ball handlers got into trouble. That was exactly what Mcßoberts accomplished during Saturday’s game.

“It’s a position I’m really comfortable in,” Mcßoberts said of handling the ball. “I feel really confident when I have the ball out top and can make plays and set up my teammates.”

Mcßoberts passed the ball in to one of the guards and would stay behind the ball, waiting as an outlet. When his teammates got into trouble, they found Mcßoberts, who beat Colonial big men off the dribble against the man-to-man..

Against a zone press, the freshman used his height to see over GW’s players to find his open teammates.

promptly fouled. The play served as a warning to the Colonials that the big man knew how to handle the ball.

Not to be outdone, Paulus demonstrated his maturity, having one of his better games of the season. After struggling Thursday night, he immediately put his offensive mark on this game. During the game’s second possession, he notched a steal and found JJ. Redick open on the wing for a three-pointer. He continued attacking, scoring four of Duke’s next six points by taking the ball to the basket with authority.

“I think that was a big key for us —how Greg attacked their pressure right away and got a couple buckets,” Redick said.

“We knew they were going to pressure us and we knew they were going to press us.

Basically we had two freshmen breaking their pressure, so it was huge they didn’t have turnovers that led to easy baskets.”

Thursday night against Southern, the struggles of Duke’s two starting freshmen were evident. Paulus turned the ball over seven times and Mcßoberts was very quiet against a much smaller foe. For the Blue Devils to advance deep in the NCAA Tournament, they will need several more performances from their role players like the ones they received Saturday. Points here and there will help, but if Duke faces another press or a new type of defense, the freshmen, DeMarcus Nelson and Lee Melchionni will need to adjust, “For us to be really good in this Tournament, we’re going to need other guys to score in double figures,” Redick said. “We don’t need guys to score 30 or so. If that happens, it’d be nice, but 10 to 12 or 14 for Josh is just great.”

“We feel like any time we’re playing defense like that, no matter what kind of offensive droughts we have, we’re going to put ourselves in a position to win,” said Redick, who led Duke with 20 points. “We Just played great defense, forced them to take tough shots.”

George Washington shot just 30.9 percent from the field in the game, including a stretch offour missed shots in the closing possession of the first half when the Colonials could have cut their deficit to single digits heading into the locker room.

After allowing George Washington to grab 14 offensive rebounds in the opening half, Duke regrouped at the break and gave up only five in the second.

“In the second half, we had all five guys helping out,” Williams said. “That was a key to the game. We knew that, especially in the first half, they were sending a lot of their taller guys to the boards, so, if we wanted to win the game, we needed to have five guys rebounding on the defensive end, not just one or two.”

Thursday’s opening round game with Southern was not as pretty. Williams and Redick stepped up, scoring 29 points apiece, and Mcßoberts added eight, but no other Blue Devil had a field goal in the

win against the overmatched Jaguars.

Paulus highlighted Duke’s struggles, turning the ball over seven times and not scoring until the final minute, when he hit a pair of free throws with the game already decided.

“We’re not who we are without him,” Krzyzewski said ofhis point guard after the Blue Devils’ 70-56 win. “He didn’t have the game that he would like, but we wouldn’t be a No. 1 seed if he didn’t play well.”

Duke lost in the Sweet 16 last season to Michigan State, an eventual Final Four team, and will have to get through LSU this year to get to the Elite Eight. Should the Blue Devils advance to the Elite Eight, they would face the winner of second-seeded Texas and sixth-seeded West Virginia.

LSU took down Texas A&M Saturday night in a thrilling 58-57 victory. With his team trailing by two and less than five seconds remaining, Tiger senior guard Darrel Mitchell drilled a three from well beyond the arc to keep LSU alive for at least one more round.

With the win, the Tigers advance to the regional semifinals for the first time since 2000. The Blue Devils’ seniors have now reached the Sweet 16 during all four years, but have advanced past just once—a trip to the Final Four in 2004.

“For us to go to the Sweet 16, only 15 other teams can say that, so I think that’s a big goal for our basketball team,” Williams said. “I think that’s a big accomplishment, but hopefully we don’t just stop there.”

Josh Mcßoberts passed and

dribbled their way up the court throughout the game, allowing Duke to stay in control.

“The biggest thing for us .our handling of the pressure,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “[Josh] makes so many good decisions on inbounding the ball and he can handlie it like a guard. He gives us a great weapon against pressure.”

As any coach will say, the key to breaking a press is not being able to dribble through it but to be able to pass around, under and over it and getting easy buckets once the defense has broken down. Instead of having their guards try to dribble through pressure, the Blue Devils used their big men as release valves when the ball handlers got into trouble. That was exacdy what Mcßoberts accomplished during Saturday’s game.

“It’s a position I’m really comfortable in,” Mcßoberts said of handling the ball. “I feel really confident when I have the ball out top and can make plays and set up my teammates.”

Mcßoberts passed the ball in to one of the guards and would stay behind the ball, waiting as an outlet. When his teammates got into trouble, they found Mcßoberts, who beat Colonial big men off the dribble against the man-to-man..

Against a zone press, the freshman used his height to see over GW’s players to find his open teammates.

promptly fouled. The play served as a warning to the Colonials that the big man knew how to handle the ball.

Not to be outdone, Paulus demonstrated his maturity, having one of his better games of the season. After struggling Thursday night, he immediately put his offensive mark on this game. During the game’s second possession, he notched a steal and found JJ. Redick open on the wing for a three-pointer. He continued attacking, scoring four of Duke’s next six points by taking the ball to the basket with authority.

“I think that was a big key for us—how Greg attacked their pressure right away and got a couple buckets,” Redick said.

“We knew they were going to pressure us and we knew they were going to press us.

Basically we had two freshmen breaking their pressure, so it was huge they didn’t have turnovers that led

to

easy baskets.”

Thursday night against Southern, the struggles of Duke’s two starting freshmen were evident. Paulus turned the ball over seven times and Mcßoberts was very quiet against a much smaller foe. For the Blue Devils to advance deep in the NCAA Tournament, they will need several more performances from their role players like the ones they received Saturday. Points here and there will help, but if Duke faces another press or a new type of defense, the freshmen, DeMarcus Nelson and Lee Melchionni will need to adjust, “For us to be really good in this Tournament, we’re going to need other guys to score in double figures,” Redick said. “We don’t need guys to score 30 or so. If that happens, it’d be nice, but 10 to 12 or 14 for Josh is just great.”

Blowout win restores Blue Devils’ confidence by

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

NORFOLK, Va. Outmatching and dominating Southern in every aspect of the game, Duke used its opening round matchup to mentally rebound from its late-season losses and to give its hard-working reserves a taste of the NCAA Tournament.

031116 The Blue Devils did analysis not march into the NCAA Tournament on a high note. After they firmly established themselves as the No. 1 team in the country in a 93-51 blowout victory over Virginia Tech Feb. 22, they struggled down the stretch. In losses in two of its last three games to North Carolina and Maryland, respectively, Duke no longer exuded the poise it wanted for a run at the NCAA

Championship.

The once-shaken confidence, however, was restored against the Jaguars.

“I think it was good for us mentally, head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We haven’t blown a team out in a while. I think it was good for our confidence.

We’ve been coming off some tough games and some losses, and we’ve been working really hard. Confidence is such a fleeting thing, and I think, honestly, this game was better for us mentally than physically.”

The Blue Devils established themselves early. Instead of having to struggle and scrap for scoring opportunities like they had against tougher ACC opponents, the Blue Devils set the pace of the game by patiently swinging the ball around the threepoint line and taking their time to find the open shot.

Early in the game, freshman guard Abby Waner started the Blue Devils motion offense when she passed the ball to junior center Alison Bales who had set herself up at the free throw line. Bales sub-

the game against Southern, Goestenkors did not hesitate to put the three on the floor. Sophomore guard Emily Waner said she was just waiting for the opportunity to play in an NCAA Tournament atmosphere. In 13 minutes of play, she helped shut down Jaguar point guard Tiffany Jones, who led her team in scoring with seven points.

While at times the three showed some of their inexperience and had to quizzically look toward the bench for what to do, they effectively implemented the Blue Devils’ scheme and helped propel the team to its 59-point win.

In the final minutes of the game, Gay confidently took a pass from Abby Waner, drove from the free-throw line and came under the basket for the layup. Kurz did one better by following a layup with a three-pointer on the next trip down the floor to build the Blue Devils lead to 89-25.

Emily Waner finished the game by knocking down a three from four feet behind the arc off a pass from sister Abby.

“The NCAA Tournament is the real thing,” Kurz said. “When I first stepped out on the floor, I thought, ‘Wow, I’m playing in the NCAA Tournament on one of the best teams in the country.’Just having the opportunity to play on this team and in the NCAA Tournament is awesome in and of itself.”

Even though it would have been easy for the Blue Devils to sit back and cruise to a first-round victory, they maintained their poise. Throughout the matchup with Southern, Duke worked on all aspects ofits game in preparation for tougher upcoming opponents.

“We worked a lot on pushing the ball up the floor,” Lindsey Harding said. “There were times at the end of the season in which we would set up a little too soon instead of just running and running a play.”

Women’s golf Freshman Amanda Blumenherst’s individual title helped top-ranked Duke snap a three-tournament drought and win the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational.

Duke won the team competition by finishing nine strokes ahead of the field at a total of 907. Texas A&M and Purdue rounded out the top three.

Blumenherst’s 2-over-par 218 was six strokes better than any other golfer in the field. She closed the tournament strong with an even-par 72 in the final round Sunday.

Senior Liz Janangelo finished in fifth place overall at 226, which was her best finish since winning the Stanford Intercollegiate in October Sophomore Jennifer Pandolfi placed 16th and Anna Grzebien and Jennie Lee finished in 22nd.

Men’s golf The men’s golf team finished the GCA Hall of Fame Invitational in 13th place, 49 strokes behind winner Oklahoma State.

The Blue Devils began the tournament in 15th place, then climbed to 13th the second day and stayed there for the last round.

Duke was paced by senior Ryan Blaum, who tied for 24th place with a total of 10-over-par 226. Blaum and Michael sophomore Quagliano notched 2-over-par 74s in the final round Sunday.

Baseball Miami stormed into Durham this weekend and swept Duke (8-16, 1-5 in the ACC) in a three-game series.

Duke scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth Saturday, but the rally fell short in a 4-3 Hurricanes’ victory. Miami (21-6, 6-0) took Sunday’s game, 7-1, and Friday’s, 3-0, in a five-hit shutout.

Miami starter Scott Maine limited the Blue Devils to just two hits over eight innings of work in Sunday’s contest.

The Blue Devils will host a two-game set against Maryland-Baltimore County Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

Women’s Track & Field Senior Clara Horowitz improved upon her personal best time in the 5,000 meter run Friday at the NCAA Championships in Arkansas. Her finish was good for second in the country, less than one second behind the first-place finisher.

Horowitz closed strong in the race, running the final 200 meters in 31.8 seconds. Her effort, however, came up just short and she took home the silver medal. Her finish still matched the highest for a Duke woman at the NCAA

Championships.

Men’s tennis Just after climbing to No. 3 in the polls, Duke (9-3) was upset Wednesday

by No. 9 UCLA (104), 6-1. The Blue Devils lost every singles match except for Peter Rodrigues’ at the third singles position and lost the doubles point despite taking one of the matches.

All three ofDuke’s losses this season have come against top-10 teams. The Blue Devils had previously lost to Pepperdine and Illinois.

Women’s tennis No. 5 Duke (8-3) lost a 4-3 nailbiter to second-ranked Notre Dame Wednesday in Orlando. All three of the Blue Devils losses this season have been by just a single point.

Duke lost the doubles point for the first time this season and first-singles player Daniela Bercek pulled out of her match due to an injury.

It’s something where I just have to focus more. There’s so much going on in the game and I just have to concentrate a little bit better.”

Not that he was using it as an excuse, but Redick may have also been affected by , the frigid temperature inside the Greensboro Coliseum.

Every time he went to the bench, he was immediately draped in his warmup jersey and handed a heat pack, which he held for the duration of each break.

“I was freezing,” Redick said. “It was colder than heck in there and my first two that I missed at the beginning of the game, I couldn’t really feel the ball it was so cold.”

Redick’s teammates and coaches were far from concerned about the shooting of their leader. After Redick’s fellow first-team All-ACC performer Shelden Williams went 9-for-9 from the line in the game, Duke

head coach Mike Krzyzewski joked that he would ask Williams to show Redick a thing or two about how to shoot from the line.

“We’re going to have [Shelden] work with JJ. a little this week,” Krzyzewski said.

“I’ve been waiting four years to needle him about free throws.”

Redick wears leg sleeve for extra support Observers of the game may have also noticed that the ACC Player of the Year came out from the locker room Saturday at the start of the game wearing a blue sleeve on his left shin.

There is no reason to be concerned about Redick’s health, though, the senior told reporters. He also made it clear that his leg had not affected his free throw shooting.

“I bruised my shin twice against Carolina and got hit on it again in the ACC Tournament,” Redick said. “Against Southern, I hit it twice in the second half, so today I just wanted to put the sleeve on it, a little more support, some extra padding, that’s all it was.”

IRAQ from page 2 The Bush administration and U.S. military leaders disagreed.

“Personally don’t believe, one, that we’re there now; two, that civil war is imminent; and, three, that it is inevitable that it will happen,” Gen. George Casey, the U.S. commander in Iraq, said in an interview with Fox television.

In a sign of political progress, Iraq’s top politicians emerged from the fourth in a series of U.S.-brokered all-party meetings on forming a new government and reported they had established an advisory, 19member Security Council.

The council, to be headed by President Jalal Talabani, was established as an interim measure as politicians struggle to agree on the makeup of a new government following the Dec. 15 parliamentary elections.

“It was a successful meeting, and we have agreed on forming a National Security Council whose powers will not contradict the constitution,” Adnan al-Dulaimi, a Sunni Arab political leader, told The Associated Press.

Al-Dulaimi said nine council seats would go to Iraq’s Shiite Muslim majority, while Kurds and Sunni Arabs each would control four seats and the secular bloc two.

Talabani, a Kurd, would head the group.

The exact powers of the council, if any, were not explained.

But it appeared to have been formed to ensure that politicians from minority blocs would at least be consulted in advance on important government and security decisions.

The political discussions on forming a government began last week under pressure from U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad. Al-Dulaimi said the talks would not resume until Saturday because of Shiite and Kurdish holidays this week.

Khalilzad has urged patience for the prolonged political negotiations. “I think it

will take a few more weeks,” he said Friday.

The speedy formation of a government has become a top U.S. priority on the theory that a unified leadership with representatives from all major factions would quell violence and open the way for American hopes to begin withdrawing troops this summer.

As politicians met in Baghdad, Iraqi police said eight civilians, including a child, were killed during clashes between U.S. troops and gunmen in Duluiyah, 45 miles north of Baghdad. The U.S. military said it was checking the report.

The town is in Iraq’s Sunni Arab heartland where the Iraqi army and U.S. forces opened a major airborne campaign last

week to hunt insurgents. The American military called it the largest “air assault” operation since the invasion.

Casey, the U.S. commander, said the significance of the operation may have been overblown. “I think it might have got a little bit more hype than it truly deserved,” he said on CNN’s “Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer.”

But he disputed allegations by some U.S. politicians that the operation was ordered for political reasons.

“This operation was planned with the Iraqi security forces, as intelligence was available.... It was an intelligence based operation and had nothing to do with politics,” he said.

phone directory search is now built into the new search tool on both websites. The search engine displays both weblink and directory search results on the same page.

“These new sites are part of a larger plan to improve communications at Duke,” Jarmul said, adding that Duke Today replaced the University’s publication, Dialogue, which produced its last issue several weeks ago.

Officials said they have received positive feedback from users who read the “Top Stories” featured in Duke Today.

“The stories have been lively and inviting, covering everything from the Grant Hill exhibit at the Nasher [Museum of Art] to a humorous look at how Duke fans get ready for basketball games,” Jarmul said. “People also like being able to personalize Duke Today with their own links and news feeds.”

Senior Tiana Mack agreed that the redesigned homepage is better than the old version. “It portrays Duke in a more humanitarian light, and it makes it seem as if Duke is more community-intensive,” she said. “Also it shows that Duke is moving toward a more research-oriented focus.”

The new Duke Today attracts a different type of student, Mack added.

“It has more pictures of people instead of that cold Chapel on the old homepage,” she said. “I think more people will feel included, even if they’re not college students.”

Other students said the new design will not affect how often they use the Duke sites.

“I didn’t have a problem with the old site, but the new one is definitely more informative,” sophomore Matthew Johnson said. “Personally, I’m usually going to a specific site like ACES, dining or housing, so the news stories and things like that are mostly superfluous. But the new site seems like it would be better for people who are just looking around.”

equipment that had fallen on him during the explosion, Bies said he tried to ascertain the conditions of the others in the Humvee with him and to calm them down.

A helicopter arrived within 10 minutes of the explosion and pulled the Humvee upright, allowing Bies to be pulled out of the wreckage.

The three injured soldiers were flown to a hospital in Mosul, Iraq. From there, Bies was sent to Balad, Iraq to see an eye specialist. There, he received surgery to remove shrapnel and fragments from his eye, face and neck.

The soldiers were then flown to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where Bies’ eyesight has been returning gradually.

He expects to be sent back to Iraq sometime next week.

The only visible reminders of the explosion are a scar and some stitches.

“The hardest part of it is losing a good soldier,” Bies said. “After the bomb went off we were powerless to do anything. The only people who were in a position to do anything, one of them was losing his leg and [the other one was] me, and I couldn’t move.”

The driver was only 22, but he had a wife and two children, Bies added.

“He was a kid with kids himself, and we were sitting in the Humvee listening to him scream,” Bies said.

Bies and the other soldiers in the platoon are still mourning but understand that the possibility of losing friends is a part of their jobs.

“They’re all good soldiers. They mourn, but at the same time they understand they have missions to do and they keep doing them,” Bies said.

Bies said the incident has changed his perspective about serving in Iraq.

Breeden was forced to close Fuqua’s Frankfurt, Gerden’s successor.

“Losing somebody changes things,” he said. “War before, it was interesting, was fun, or exciting, or cool or whatever. [After someone dies] it stops being all those things and it just becomes war.”

While at Duke, Bies said his undergraduate experience as a member of the Army ROTC was similar to that of other students. The one key difference was that he anticipated being deployed overseas upon graduation as an Army officer.

“Everybody that’s in ROTC if they graduated around my time frame—from ’O3 to ’05—it’s pretty much a given that they’re going to deploy,” he said.

Senior Will Wright, a member of ROTC and The Chronicle staff, said he heard about Bies’ injury last week, when word was passed around the Duke ROTC community that he had been hurt.

“It makes the war a lot more intimate. It’s a blow hearing things directly from people you know and are friends with and hung out with at schools just a couple years ago,” Wright said. “Hearing about them go through this kind of stuff, you know it happens, but it becomes a little more intense when you know people direcdy involved.”

Wright, whose brother is currently serving in Iraq and whose father has just returned from a tour in Afghanistan, said he expects to be deployed once he graduates and that dealing with injuries or casualties is part of the maturation process when serving in the Army or ROTC. Bies said he has not decided whether he will stay in the armed services after his four-year commitment in the Army ends in 2008.

Sustaining the recent attack has not affected his decision, he said, explaining that if he does decide to continue a career in the military it will be because of the people who serve.

‘You Just meet great people that you’ll never meet anywhere else,” he said. ‘You don’t really meet people like that too many other places.”

seven-hour-long workday. Depending on the condition of the house, each team was encouraged to complete two houses every three days.

Other organized Spring Break groups came from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Rutgers University and Howard University, among others. Several students, however, found their ways to New

Orleans on their own or with a friend.

Andrew Sand and Brian Richards, seniors at Messiah College, gave up a road trip to spend their final Spring Break at Camp Premier.

“I didn’t think that when you walked in, there’d be five inches of crap that you had to walk on—that everything was misplaced and everything was ruined,” Richards said. “It’s really weird to look at the debris at the end of the day and call that progress.”

Some people, however, have been skeptical of the motives behind the large turnout of young volunteers in response to the natural disaster. "‘I think it’s a fad,” said Melissa Chang, a freshman at Tulane University. “It’s like

volunteering camp.”

But despite the occasional pessimism, volunteers and local residents are hopeful about the future of the communities. They

are also optimistic about the stance that young people are taking in aiding those in need. “I feel like their views are changing,” said Dustin Buck, a member of Americorp.

“There’s been a lot of changes in the world, and it’s really opened young people’s eyes.”

Sand and Richards have both worked with Habitat for Humanity before and were turned away from several charitable organizations in the New Orleans area because of the overflow of volun-

‘You may never know how much good you’ve done, but everybody’s been talking about it,” local resident Kathy Hume said to a group of volunteers.

The residents’ appreciation served as a morale boost to the volunteers.

“It makes it all really real to me—to know that this has really affected their lives,” said Colleen Pricco, a junior at Wisconsin. T guess even gutting out one home can mean a lot in the big scheme of things.”

Camp Premier was first started by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for displaced local residents and has become the largest coordinated volunteer operation in U.S. history based out of one camp, Buck said. Over the past month, the number of residents in the camp doubled every week until it reached its maximum at approximately 1,800.

“Being able to help out after Katrina—the biggest natural disaster in recent history—it’s kind of an honorable thing, and that feels really good,” Buck said.

Central Prison in Raleigh.

Throughout the previous week, several news outlets —including the Raleigh News & Observer, the Durham Herald-Sun and WTVD-TV—received letters from Taheriazar that expounded upon his motives for the attack.

“Allah gives permission in the Koran for those who follow Allah to attack those who have waged war against them, with the expectation of eternal paradise in case of martyrdom,” Taheri-azar wrote in a twopage letter, addressed to ABC 11 News anchor Amber Rupinta, that was posted on the television station’s website.

“I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead,” Taheri-azar wrote.

In his letter to the Durham HeraldSun, Taheri-azar said he hoped an attack within the United States would be a wakeup call to government leaders.

“I therefore decided to attack within the U.S. borders, hoping that the U.S. government would understand that my fellow followers ofAllah will do everything necessary to defeat our enemies, even giving up a college degree from UNC Chapel Hill, as I did myself,” Taheri-azar wrote.

Muslim leaders at UNC and in the broader community have publicly denounced Taheri-azar’s stated motives. “It is unfortunate that some misuse religion and perpetrate violence in the name of religion as evidenced by Taheri-azar’s statements and actions, which appear to be the work of a disturbed individual,” said Imran Aukhil of the Islamic Association of Raleigh.

Aukhil spoke at a March 15 press conference organized in response to Taheriazar’s letters to the media.

The rescue was complicated by adverse conditions—the terrain surrounding the cave is virtually impassable by ground vehicles, and high winds prevented the approach of civilian medical evacuation teams. Shipman was extracted from the cave by members of the 305th Air Rescue Squadron. Fearing that Shipman had sustained serious internal injuries, the rescuers immobilized him by

SHIPMAN from page 3

FEINGLOS/THE CHRONICLE

David Shipman, who was trapped in a cave in Arizona for 12 hours, rests in a hospital with his father.

The restraints added to the discomfort of escaping from the narrow cave.

“My face was getting scraped because it was so tight,” Shipman said.

Once he was removed from the cave, a Black Hawk helicopter took Shipman to civilian rescuers waiting at the base of the mountain. Before Shipman even reached a doctor, 170 people from at least four different organizations had been involved in his rescue.

Twenty-four hours after his fall, Shipman arrived at University Medical Center in Tucson. After a series of tests, including x-rays and CAT scans, doctors ascertained that Shipman’s only physical injury was a concussion.

Shipman looked no worse the wear from his 24-hour ordeal, sitting crosslegged in his hospital bed as though he was just in for a checkup. The only sign that his stay at the medical center was anything more than routine was a plastic bag filled with his muddy clothes.

Doctors told Shipman that he is suffering currently from retrograde amnesia as a result of the accident. He confirmed Saturday, however, that his memory is improving. “Yesterday, they told me I thought my name was Daniel,” he said.

Steve Willsey, an experienced climber and friend of Shipman, said the student’s condition was nothing short of miraculous. “God was merciful,” Willsey said. ‘You can’t just fall 40 feet and come away like that.”

A report on the rescue occupied most of the front page of Saturday’s Arizona Daily Star, a leading Tucson newspaper.

Shipman was discharged from the hospital Saturday afternoon. Although he had a ticket to fly back to Durham Saturday, his current plans call for a period of convalescence at home with his family before returning to Duke.

ICI MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2000

FRANCE from page 6 people asked whether Prime Minister Do-

minique de Villepin would stand firm on implementing the change that he says is needed to encourage hiring. The usually outspoken leader was silent Saturday.

Protest organizers urged President Jacques Chirac, Saturday, to prevent the law from taking effect as expected in April.

The group issued an ultimatum, saying it expects an answer by Monday, when leaders will decide whether to continue protests that have paralyzed at least 16 universities and dominated political discourse for weeks.

“We give them two days to see if they understand the message we’ve sent,” said Rene Jouan ofCFDT, France’s largest union.

The law would allow businesses to fire young workers in the first two years on a

fife

fo

job without giving a reason, removing them from protections that restrict layoffs ofregular employees.

Companies are often reluctant to add employees because it is hard to let them go if business conditions worsen. Students see a subtext in the new law: make it easier to hire and fire to help France compete in a globalizing world economy.

Youth joblessness stands at 23 percent nationwide, and 50 percent among impoverished young people. The lack of work was blamed in part for the riots that shook France’s depressed suburbs during the fall.

Protests Saturday reached every corner of France —most of them largely peaceful—with organizers citing 160 marches from the small provincial town of Rochefort in the southwest to the major city of Lyon in the southeast.

In Marseille, extreme leftist youths climbed the facade of City Hall, replacing

a French flag with a banner reading “Anticapitalism.” Police used tear gas to disperse them and made several arrests.

Police also fired tear gas at a protest in Clermont-Ferrand, a central city where 10,000 people marched and about 100 youths threw beer cans and other projectiles at a building.

The Paris protest march was the biggest, attracting some 80,000 people, according to police. Organizers put the number at 300,000.

Widespread discontent with the government has crystallized around a new type of job contract that de Villepin says will alleviate France’s sky-high youth unemployment by getting companies to risk hiring young workers.

Critics say the contract abolishes labor protections crucial to the social fabric.

“Aren’t we the future ofFrance?” asked Aurelie Silan, a 20-year-old student who

joined a river of protesters in Paris.

Government spokesperson Jean-Francois Cope insisted on the need for a “spirit of dialogue.”

“The hand is extended, the door is open,” he said on France-3 TV network.

However, he limited dialogue to “improving” Villepin’s plan—not withdrawing it.

Waves of red union flags topped the densely packed crowd in Paris, which overflowed into side streets and stretched more than 3 1/2 miles under bright sunshine.

“Throw away the job contract, don’t throw away the youth!” chanted a group of students shaking tambourines. Many wore plastic bags to illustrate their feeling that the new law reduces young people to disposable workers.

Some demonstrators became violent as the march ended. Youths set a car on fire, smashed a shop window, trashed a bus stop and threw objects at police.

students consulted each other over the merits of certain spring break locales last week, the Arts and Sciences Council similarly found consultation and consensus the focus of its last meeting. In a unanimous vote, the Council voted that it should be consulted before any substantial structural changes to Trinity College of Arts and Sciences are made.

The vote is widely considered a response to the indignation felt by the Arts and Sciences Council after word leaked from the Allen Building that the theater studies department might dissolve,

or at the very least, be demoted from “department” to “program.” Faculty representatives were furious they hadn’t been consulted on what ’ to liiuiidi them, constituted a major structural change in Trinity College’s offerings. While the rumored dissolution was ultimately deemed just that—a rumor—frustration and annoyance on the part of the Council nevertheless ensued.

It is thus that this assertion of authority is interesting on many levels. While the Arts and Sciences Council is not a legislative body, and while this most recent vote allegedly does not spring from harbored animosity toward the

There is also a need to set a precedent for consensus, openness and conversation about possible major changes—especially, as the body has seen over the past few weeks, if the future of whole departments is at stake.

And as the University faces a slew of structural and philosophical changes in the form of Central Campus and the soon-to-be-released strategic plan, there is no better time for the Council to delineate its rights.

dean, it does represent a forward and marked codification of faculty power. Duke is an institution more academically traditional than some of its peers; it tends to have more centralized, dean- and administrator-held power, as opposed to a more decentralized, faculty-centric governance. This vote, while not exactly granting the Arts and Sciences Council any grandiose, new or novel powers, is a small step away from this traditional model.

We are first compelled to wonder why this assertion of “right to review” has not happened earlier—as we comprehend its importance —and we see the particular value in having it in place now. As Trinity

At a University struggling, as most universities do, to keep the red tape to a minimum, this additional rubber-stamp wieldage could become both counterintuitive and coun-

terproductive.

We hope this is not the case.

I’m asking you to give your time to serve our brothers and sisters in need. If it requires forfeiting an internship or summer vacation, so be it. True service lies in sacrifice.

There are, of course, plenty of both to be fead in New Orleans.

Walking with a victim through his or her home, collectively realizing that nothing—pictures, home videos, beds, furniture, televisions—escaped the destructive waters, and then having to take it all to the trash heap is as challenging an experience as I’ve ever had. Likewise, the endeavor is extremely taxing on the body.

In only five days, I lost three pounds; I showered once and slept in a parking lot.

But I would do it again—l will do it again. No internship can offer a greater experience or larger reward than the opportunity to help someone rebuild his life.

I spent most of my time in New Orleans working side-by-side with a young man fighting to save his father’s home. This young man worked harder than any of us to restore what Katrina had taken away, and he did it with a smile. This was a week for me, but it’s his life, and yet he was the one taking the time to comfort me, to thank God for the opportunity to save his father’s home.

He—like so many New Orleanians—is the best that we have and deserves the best that we can give.

Thank you to all the Duke students who spent their time in New Orleans. Please share your experiences with all.

On the seventh day, Carver Moore rested.

He also went to the bathroom, and while His attention was diverted, JACK took control.

lettertotheeditor Double standards As our neighbor down Tobacco Road reels from the aftermath of a terrorist attack, a facebook.com group at Duke came to my attention.

Perhaps you’ve heard of it—it’s called “Campus Jihad for Allah.”

As everyone knows, a Jihad is a “Holy War” against infidels—namely, us as Americans.

Many people point out that such a war is the “lesser Jihad,” while the “greater Jihad” is waged within someone’s soul.

I know about 3,000 Americans in New York, Washington, D.C., and a field in Pennsylvania, as well as hundreds of Israelis, who would consider that point moot.

One member of Campus Jihad for Allah actually has a link in his facebook.com profile to an al Qaeda

training manual.

I assume that this group is intended to be a joke. However, cartoons that were intended to be a joke recently sparked violent protest by Muslims around the world.

If a joke against Muslims is such an outrage, then why is it ok for Muslims to joke about the murder of Americans and Israelis by joining such a group?

Please note that while I am upset about the existence of this group, I am not going to go beat up Muslims on the street or bum down Muslimowned businesses.

Compare my reaction to that of the world’s Muslim population following the publication of the Mohammed cartoons.
