END OF THE ROAD Redick fails to deliver in Sweet 16 loss by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

With less than nine minATLANTA left in the second half and Duke leading 45-40, JJ. Redick caught the ball with a chance to put the nail in yet another opponent’s coffin. DeMarcus Nelson had just missed his second free throw, and game Josh Mcßoberts had re-

out to

But just as he has before in his magnificent career, Redick faltered in the Sweet 16, and he could not put the Blue Devils up eight. His shot—the least contested one the senior got all night—rimmed around and out, and the Duke faithful let out a gasp of shock. LSD’s lone senior, point guard Darrell Mitchell, took the ball down the £ourt, used a high screen to free himself at the top of the key and buried a three to turn a nearly-iced game into a battle once more. “There’s a lot of ‘ifs’ throughout the game,” Redick said. “[But] that was a big momentum swing. It could have gone our way, but it ended up going theirs.” Redick’s struggles in the NCAA Tournament were well-documented coming into the fourth Sweet 16 game of his career. But even in a season in which he looked at times immortal, Redick did not even appear average in his last collegiate game.

THE CHRONICLE

John Hope Franklin, world-renowned African American scholar and James B. Duke professor emeritus of history, has been named the 2006 commencement speaker, President Richard Brodhead announced Thursday. Franklin is widely recognized as one of the most distinguished African American historians. He has been awarded honorary degrees from more than 100 colleges and universities—including one from Duke in 1998. “He is someone who has led a life of consequence,” Brodhead said of Franklin,

ATLANTA It was quintessential Duke basketball—the late-game blocked shots and offensive rebounds, the six-point swing that killed the opponent’s momentum, the hard-nosed defense for a full 40 minutes. But this time, the team making all of the big plays wore purple and gold instead of royal blue and white. LSU (26-8) beat the Blue Devils, 62-54, Thursday night by making the type of plays that Duke (36-4) built its repog, -62 Htation on. The Tiger defense hounded Blue Devil superstar JJ. Redick all night, holding him to a which 11 points, matched his season low, and LSU forwards Tyrus Thomas and Glen Davis dominated the game’s final stages. “1 know we’re not—we weren’t ever a dominant team,” head coach Wike* Krzyzewski said. “We knew that, and so things have to go right for us to win.” Little had gone right for the Blue Devils by the time 38 seconds remained. But a pair offree throws by Redick had cut LSU’s lead to one, 55-54, and Duke still had a chance to steal a bid to the Elite Eight. Twenty-six seconds later, Thomas and Davis had crushed those chances. The inbounds pass after Redick’s free throws went to Thomas. With Redick chasg him to try and foul to stop the clock, Thomas pushed the ball up court. Blue Devil forward Shelden Williams stepped in front of Thomas at midcourt, but the redshirt freshman cut in between Duke’s pair of All-American seniors and had a free path to the rim. His two handed dunk increased LSU’s lead to three. Freshman poi-nt guard Greg Paulus drove to the basket on Duke’s next possession. He got off a left-handed layup, but .

Cigarette causes fatal cruise fire

3 peace activists freed after 4 months by

Bassem Mroue

The military spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, said the 8 a.m. rescue of the Briton and two Canadians from a “kidnapping cell” was based on information divulged by a man during interrogation only three hours earlier. The man was captured by U.S. forces Wednesday night. A senior Iraqi military officer told TheAssociated Press, however, that the operation had been under way for two days in the Abu Ghraib suburb west of Baghdad, site of the notorious prison. The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said U.S. and British forces refused to give him other details. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canadian forces also took part

Without firing a BAGHDAD, Iraq shot, U.S. and British forces stormed a house Thursday and freed three Christian peace activists who were bound but unguarded, ending a four-month hostage ordeal that saw an American in the group killed and dumped along a railroad track.

Fifty-eight people were killed in execution-style slayings, bombings and gun battles. For the third straight day, Sunni insurgents hit a major police and jail

facility—this time with a suicide car bombing that killed 25 in central Baghdad. Lynch said a reinforced U.S. and Iraqi security presence in the capital had prevented car bombings on five recent consecutive days, but acknowledged that attacks SEE KIDNAPPPING ON PAGE 5

Police raid opposition tent in Belarus by

Jim Heintz

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINSK, Belarus Police stormed the opposition tent camp in the Belarusian capital Minsk earlyFriday morning, detaining scores of demonstrators who had spent a fourth night in a central square to protest President Alexander Lukashenko’s victory in a disputed election. The arrests came after a half dozen large police buses and 75 helmeted riot police with clubs pulled up to Oktyabrskaya Square in central Minsk about 3 a.m. The police stood around for a few minutes and then barged into the tent camp.

An Associated Press reporter on the scene said police wresded about 40 to 50 of the demonstrators, who were resisting, into buses. The rest of the approximately 200 demonstrators, were taken into custody without apparent resistance. As police rushed forward to begin seizing demonstrators, a man who was apparently heading the operation said, "I told you not to beat them,” according to a local journalist who gave her name as Olga. Another journalist said she saw police kick a few demonstrators who fell as they were being hustled onto the bus. By the end of the 10-15 minute opera-

tion, all of the. protesters had been taken away, leaving only their tents, some gear and garbage. City workers soon came and began throwing the remains of the camp into truck beds, with two bulldozers that also dumped debris into the trucks. A stray dog wandered in during the operation was scrounging for food in what was left of the camp. Police had been detaining opposition supporters and would-be protesters away from the square, but Friday’s arrests marked the first time they had tried to forcefully eject the demonstrators en masse.

A fire apparently started by a cigarette broke out aboard the Star Princess, a giant cruise ship, early Thursday as it sailed through the moonlit Caribbean, leaving one passenger dead, 11 people injured and at least 100 rooms scorched.

Administrators in the Office of Student Affairs are finalizing a campus-wide alcohol policy that will supplement the existing policy. The new document, which will go into effect next fall, was written to address the entire University community because the only guidelines currently in place are targeted specifically toward undergraduate students. The Office of Student Affairs frequently receives inquiries from graduate and professional students, faculty and various departments about serving alcohol at University-sponsored events, said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students. Though it will not change the existing policy, the document will codify currently enforced regulations. “What we’re trying to do is formalize for next year what we already have in place,” she said. “The practices and policies are not changing.... We’re just formalizing and publishing it so it’s available to the whole community.” A draft of the policy states that it will “guide the role of alcohol everywhere on the Duke campus and at all events sponsored by Duke organizations, schools or administrative units.” The principles laid out in the document mandate that possession, consumption and distribution of alcohol at Duke must fall within North Carolina laws. In addition to stressing responsibility and accountable behavior, the policy urges members of the community to “learn about the social, physiological and psychological consequences of drinking and alcohol abuse.”

Strauman added that under the current system, it would be difficult for him, as a clinical and research psychologist, to work with a cognitive neuroscientist to train a graduate student. “Duke is one of the few places in the world that actually can, and should, train students who would draw both on clinical psychology... and on the methods of cognitive neuroscience,” Strauman said. “So in our discussions privately, as well as a part of the unification committee, that is the kind of intellectual agenda that actually emerged, and that’s one of the things that I am most psyched about.” Bauer, Strauman and Lange also cited the unification of the two departments to

KIDNAPPING from page 2 “surged today.” No kidnappers were present when the

troops broke into the house where the peace activists were discovered with their hands tied. “They were bound, they were together, there were no kidnappers in the areas,” Lynch told a news briefing. The freed men were Canadians James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, and Briton Norman Kember, 74. The men—members of the Chicago-based Christian Peacemaker Teams—were kidnapped Nov. 26 along with an American colleague, Tom Fox, 54. Fox’s body was found this month, shot and dumped in western Baghdad. “We remember with tears Tom Fox,” group co-director Doug Pritchard said in Toronto. “We had longed for the day when all four men would be released together. Our gladness today is bittersweet by the fact that Tom is not alive to join his colleagues in the celebration.” The three freed members of Christian Peacemaker Teams were taken to a hospital for observation in Baghdad but were released in good condition, the organization said from the Iraqi capital. British Embassy spokesperson Lisa Glover said the men would be flown out of Baghdad in the next few days. She said Kember was in “reasonable condition” and was “relaxing and talking to British authorities.” Kember’s wife, Pat, said she had spoken with her husband on the phone. “He was very, very pleased to be free, but he was very emotional in talking to me. I think he must be very worried about me and the family,” she told New Zealand’s Radio Live in an interview replayed by the British Broadcasting Corp.

The kidnapped men were shown as prisoners in several videos, the most recent a silent clip dated Feb. 28 in which Loney, Kember and Sooden appeared without Fox, whose body was found March 10. The previously unknown Swords of Righteousness Brigades claimed responsibility for the kidnappings. “As we study who could conduct these kinds of operations there seems to be a kidnapping cell that has been robust over the last several months in conducting these kind of kidnappings,” Lynch said. While many insurgent groups and the al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist organization have kidnapped and often killed foreigners in Iraq, there also is a heavy criminal element involved in such crimes. Thousands of Iraqis have been kidnapped for ransom and some Westerners are believed to have been grabbed by those criminal gangs as well.

Emily Aviki, senior class president and member of- the commencement speaker nominating committee, said Franklin was not one of the 20 speakers initially proposed during the summer by the group which is composed of both students and administrators. In the fall, the committee whittled the list down to their top five choices. Aviki said the list included Grant Hill, Orlando Magic forward and Trinity ’94; Sheikha Mozah, the queen of Qatar; Sandra Day O’Connor, retired Supreme Court Justice; actress Meryl Streep and talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Brodhead said he made a “good-faith effort” to secure one of the committee’s nominees. He emphasized, however, that he is pleased with, and confident in, the selection. “[Franklin] has a value that may not be initially apparent,” Brodhead said. “Commencement speakers are a dicey lot. Every school has the same list of people... but having people who know a place has a value, too.” Franklin received the nation’s highest

civilian honor—the Presidential Medal of Freedom—in 1995 and was appointed by former President Bill Clinton to chair the advisory board for One America, Clinton’s initiative on race. Senior Fred McGee said he was pleased that Duke chose a black speaker for graduation, and it will be worthwhile for students to hear Franklin speak. “I think a lot of African Americans and students at Duke at large don’t really know much about him,” McGee said. “We can read about him all day long, but until we hear it from from the horse’s mouth, we will never know who this Dr. Franklin is.” Duke’s 2005 commencement speaker was Ricardo Lagos, then-president ofChile. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright spoke in 2004. United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was scheduled to address the 2003 graduates but cancelled at the last minute because of illness. Former Duke President Nan Keohane addressed the community instead, reading a statement prepared by Annan. The 2006 commencement speech will be delivered May 14, when Franklin will address Duke graduates, their friends and family in Wallace Wade Stadium.

The document has been in the works for a long time, said Bill LeFew, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council and a fourth-year doctoral student in applied mathematics. “[The current undergraduate policy] didn’t really address how we’re actually dealing with alcohol on campus,” said LeFew, who co-authored the Graduate and Professional Student Alcohol Policy last year. “It doesn’t do a good job of talking about how we actually deal with it—for graduate and professional students there was nothing explicitly written.” One of the main principles listed in the

20061 7

campus-wide policy states that at events where students under the age of 21 are expected to be present, “proper precautions must be taken to restrict distribution and consumption ofalcohol to persons of legal

drinking age.”

The document also allows schools within the University to establish their own additional guidelines regarding the “possession, consumption and distribution of alcohol that reach beyond these minimal expectations.” For example, the Fuqua School of Business requires all events to be catered from one specific company, ensuring consistent rules about serving alcohol. “I think it addresses concerns in a very, very good manner,” LeFew said. “I think it makes a lot of sense.”

HORNBY from page 3 suicide through the eyes of four main characters. Despite the seemingly dark topic, Hornby read amid bursts of laughter from the audience After he shut the book, Hornby opened the floor up to questions from the audience. When asked about the motivation behind his novels, Hornby likened each book to a growing train track. “They feel connected to me, and one book draws out another book,” he said. “It’s a fun thing to do—sitting in a bar and thinking, ‘What if these two people met?’ I really really enjoy that aspect of writing—sitting in a bar—not writing. Writing is a bit more of a drag.” Hornby added that he saw characteristics of his own personality in Rob Gordon—the protagonist of High Fidelity. “Rob in High Fidelity is a version of myself,” he said. “I think he’s a bit more stupid than me.” Those in attendance said they enjoyed hearing Hornby speak and found the readings enlightening. “I don’t really know Hornby really well. I haven’t actually read his books, but I saw Fever Pitch,” said sophomore Cleland Robertson. “I might actually end up reading one of his books now.” Sophomore Isel del Valle, president of DUU’s Major Speakers Committee, said she found Homby to be an en-

BELARUS

“The authorities are destroying freedom, truth and justice. There was only enough democracy for three days and this shows the essence of the regime that has been established in Belarus,” opposition leader Alexander Milinkevich told The Associated Press. Their action followed his warning Thursday that increased persecution would only strengthen protests against the authoritarian government. “The people on the square were courageous,” Milinkevich said, speaking while on his way to a jail where detainees were taken. “They got up off their knees and together with them all ofBelarus stood up.” This week’s protests over the official figures giving a landslide win to Lukashenko have consistently attracted thousands nightly —and more than 10,000 at the first one Sunday—an exceptional number in the tightly controlled former Soviet nation which has a history of swift, violent police dispersal of small rallies. A core of about 200 has held the square overnight. But the numbers have been far to small to pose- a real threat to the hardline Belarusian leader’s rule. That has raised increasing questions about what the opposition movement’s strategy is, or even if it has one. A rally called for Saturday—the anniversary of the declaration of the first independent Belarusian state, and a tradi-' tional day for opposition rallies—is likely to be key in determining how much support the opposition has. “March 25 will be an important day. On that day we will make known the long-term plans of the opposition,” Milinkevich told The Associated Press. Later, speaking to a nighttime crowd ofabout 3,000, he said, “The 25th will be a day offreedom for thousands and thousands of Belarusians. History has shown that the Belarusian fight for freedom has not gone unnoticed. We have come out into the square.” Milinkevich said assailants attacked a top aide Thursday, one of the latest incidents in what a leading international security body called a campaign of persecution against Belarusians challenging the results of Sunday’s elections. Viktor Korniyenko, a deputy chief on Milinkevich’s staff, was clubbed on the head by two assailants and is hospitalized in serious condition, opposition spokesperson Pavel Mazheika said. “The authorities are stepping up repression, but this makes us stronger,” Milinkevich told the nighttime rally. The attack came a day after state television broadcast a recording of an alleged conversation in which Korniyenko consulted with a Polish NGO, the Batory Foundation, on strategies for protests against Lukashenko’s third term. Lukashenko has repeatedly claimed that the opposition is supported by Western forces seeking to bring him down. The Central Election Commission released final election results Thursday saying Lukashenko received 83 percent of the vote and Milinkevich just 6.1 percent. The commission chief, Lidiya Yermoshina, said the inauguration would take place March 31, but its secretary Nikolai Lozovik told The Associated Press that date was tentative and the ceremony would probably be held later.

COUNCIL from page 4 would prove more attractive, forwardthinking and vibrant to prospective faculty. Both departments currently have the potential to hire multiple new faculty members and anticipate more new hires upon unification, Bauer and Strauman said. Bauer and Strauman also expect that the new department would prove more attractive for gaining National Institute of Health and National Science Foundation grants. The most contentious debate was spurred by Michael Lavine, professor of statistics and the environment, who said that members of the departments are under the impression that new hires will only occur if the two departments merge, which is not in fact an accurate perception. Lavine also asked why members of the two psychology departments felt collaboration was limited when he feels that examples of cross-disciplinary collaboration are rampant. Bauer replied that the unification “could constitute a new program,” to which Lavine retorted, “Well, it sounds like your making this up.” Other members of the Council questioned the interest of the respective faculty members in both departments in reuniting, suggesting they be polled prior to the Academic Council’s vote in April. J.B. Duke Professor of Physics Bemdt Mueller asked whether physical distance could become an issue for a unified department, as the two departments are currently spread across four different areas on campus. Lange explained that although the entire process is currently in the “seed stage,” the initial plan calls for a substantial part of the psychology department to move to vacated space in the Old Chemistry Building. Such a move would allow for the entire department to be situated together on Main West Campus.

So it doesn’t matter what the seeding or the ranking is, all that is thrown out the door. We don’t feel pressure. We know Michigan State has a great tradition, specifically last year.

The Blue Devils will face last year's National Championship runner-up Michigan State in the Sweet 16.

There were a lot of red ATLANTA eyes in the Blue Devil locker room after Duke’s loss to LSU Thursday night. A game —an important game—had been lost, but most of the tears were for the end of an era. Those that remained of the “Super Six” recruiting class had put on their Duke uniforms for the last time. Superstars J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams, along with fellow senior co-captains Sean Dockery and Lee Melchionni, won 116 games at Duke, captured three ACC Tournament tides and went to a Final Four in 2004. But for at least one night, none of those accomplishments mattered to them. All that mattered was the fact that they would never again be able to suit up as Blue Devils. “It’s hard to look at the big picture

right now,” Melchionni said. “There are six guys in this locker room and four senior captains who will never put on a Duke jersey again. That’s something that really hits you when the season ended abrupdy. It’s hard to realize right now.” Dockery echoed Melchionni’s remarks, adding, “It will be hard to sleep tonight, and I doubt if I do.” The Blue Devils’ underclassmen—including the team’s five scholarship freshmen—cried alongside their older teammates, upset that they could not help deliver a National Championship to their senior leaders. They will have other opportunities, but Redick, Williams, Melchionni and Dockery will not get another shot “I’ve always said that you want to end the season where you’re cutting down the SEE SENIORS ON PAGE 13

The Blue Devils begin a four-game home stand Sunday which will feature two teams from last season’s Final Four. But before Duke takes on the nation’s best, it will have to get past a feisty and rejuvenated Vanderbilt squad looking r—tt—| to build on recent success. VHHBEHBILT So far this season, No. 2 Duke (8-0) has seemed yj, unstoppable against the -rcry-am. nation’s top squads. It has defeated four top-10 SUNDAY, 1 p.m. teams, including a 10-8 Koskinen Stadium road victory over then-No. 3 North Carolina March 8. The Blue Devils’ upcoming schedule will not lighten up as they face consecutive home games against No. 1 Northwestern, No. 10 Notre Dame, and No. 7 Virginia, who defeated Duke in last season’s NCAA semifinals. After dropping three straight early in the season, No. 19 Vanderbilt (4-4) won three of its last four matches. Attackers Kate Hickman and Margie Curran have led the Commodores’ recent upsurge and combined for 47 of their team’s 91 goals this season. Duke defenders Danielle Freedman and Aiyana Newton will be in charge of stopping the duo and limiting Vanderbilt’s offensive attack. Head coach Kim Kantrell said her team will work on figuring out a way to slow down Vanderbilt’s attackers in the practices before the game. “Their personnel has some really great attackers,” Cantrell said. “So, we’re going to work on how to try to stop them.

THE OFFICE FOR INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY Acknowledges National Women's History Month

Duke Graduate

JUDY WOODRUFF Why Women's History Month Still Matters? "It's crucial to recognize the unique role women have played in history because for too long they were invisible. Girls and young women from now on must

learn about what women did in years and centuries long past, if they're to have the confidence to play a full role in shaping the world of the future. After all, it's only when both men and women are fully engaged, that any society approaches a democratic ideal: where rights privileges and opportunities are promoted for all people. ,

Judy Woodruff is a 1968 Duke political science graduate. As a noted and world renowned journalist. Woodruff has covered politics and news for over three decades. She has reported for NBC, CNN and PBS, serving as the anchor for PBS' "Frontline" and CNN's "Inside Politics." While at PBS, Woodruff also reported for the "The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHours." From 1977 to 1982, Woodruff served as chief White House correspondent for NBC.

Last season, the Blue Devils had no trouble dismantling a less-talented Vanderbilt squad. Senior Katie Chrest and Waagbo each scored three goals as the Blue Devils dominated Vanderbilt 13-4. Duke hopes to see similar performances Saturday and continue its perfect season. “One of the things our girls do well is take one game at a time, one day at a time,” Kimel said. “Vanderbilt always plays us tough, and they’ve had a tough start to their season, so they’re gonna come out hard against us. They’re a good team, and we’re going to have to work hard.”

Football season is long over but Duke players Philip Alexander, Chris Sprague, and Ronnie Elliot were running jumping, and lifting like the big game was just around the corner. The three put forth all they had at the Yoh Football Center Thursday afternoon for one reason —they want to be professionals. Scouts from the Washington Redskins, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants and others watched as the Blue Devils engaged in various athletic tasks in a “last interview” for the draft during Duke’s pro-day. Players were asked to perform a vertical jump, a horizontal jump, a 40-yard dash and bench press repetitions. All eyes were particularly on defensive end Alexander, whose 2003 breakout season put him on the radar. Despite a past leg injury, his power total—which is a statistic computed by adding the number of bench reps plus vertical height plus broad jump distance—was over 70. Punter Sprague and wide receiver Elliot also represented the Blue Devils. “I felt like this was positive for Duke Football,” Sprague said. “It shows that we deserve respect as far as the pros are concerned. Scouts need to start looking at Duke for players because there are some quality athletes in the Duke program.”

get their offensive groove back. “What we -took away from the Cornell game is that we need to regain our sense of urgency,” attacker Matt Danowski said. “We need to play hard and play like we’re capable of playing. If we do that, I think we’ll be fine.” Duke’s lack of offensive production against ranked teams has figured gready into its 0-2 record against top-five opponents. While the Blue Devils are averaging 16 goals per game against unranked opponents, they are only scoring an average of 7.7 goals per outing in three contests against teams ranked in the top 20. Duke’s output against top teams is down four goals from last season, when the Blue Devils averaged 11.7 goals per game against ranked opposition. Although they are well aware of their recent scoring woes, the exact cause has remained an elusive mystery for them. “I’m not quite sure [what’s wrong],” Danowski said. “If I knew what was missing we’d probably have it fixed by now. We haven’t gotten our transition going like we wanted to this year. We haven’t been playing as a team, yet.” The Blue Devils look to turn around their production against a battle-tested Hoyas team that has won four games in a row, including three straight over ranked opponents.

lacrosse head coach Mike Pressler described his attack unit as being out of —sync and said he could not figure out why the No. 2 Blue Devils (6-2) have SATURDAY, 1 p.m. not gelled yet.

or you’re crying in the locker room,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Our kids were all crying in our locker room. And they have been a great group ofkids, led by these seniors.” At the post-game press conference, Krzyzewski smiled, even as he sat next to teary-eyed Redick and Williams. He said he was surprised to be so happy immediately after his team’s loss, but he knew that he was fortunate to have been able to coach his seniors for four years. “I’ve been really lucky with these guys,” he said. “And so I find it hard to cry right now. I found myself saying a prayer afterwards, saying thanks. Just thanks for letting me have this group again. And then whatever happens, you can handle wins and losses. But the quality of people nets

you’re with, that determines the experience. And I’ve had a hell of an experience with these guys.” All season long, the seniors told the story of how much their recruiting class expected to achieve when they came to Duke. They were going to win multiple National Championships. Four years later, Redick, Williams, Dockery and Melchionni have played their last game for Duke without winning one. They may not have put a banner in Cameron Indoor Stadium’s rafters, but if Duke’s teary locker room indicates anything, it is a testament to the strength of the relationships and the quality of the experiences they have had. And that has to count for something. “We set high standards for one another, so that’s why a loss hurts in this locker room so much,” Dockery said. “We care about one another.”

Shelden Williams scored 23 points, nearly half of the team's total points against LSU Thursday night.

M.BBALL from page 1 Thomas came from the weak side to block the shot. “Once you step on the court, you’re no longer a freshman, a sophomore, a junior or a senior—you’re a ballplayer,” Thomas said. “We didn’t blame mistakes on being young. We just played hard.” LSU’s Darrel Mitchell grabbed the loose ball, and Paulus fouled him. With the Tigers in the double bonus, Mitchell made

the first shot, then missed the second. But by then, it was Davis’ turn to take over. The 310-pound sophomore, nicknamed Big Baby, grabbed the offensive rebound and was fouled by Mcßoberts. Davis made the first free throw to increase the Tigers’ lead to 59-54 but his second attempt clanked off the back rim. With every LSU player away from the lane and back on defense before Davis’ attempt, the rebound was Duke’s for the taking. But the ball bounced straight to Davis, who was fouled again by Mcßoberts, the

who shut down Redick, and Thomas, who blocked and altered numerous shots—stymied the Blue Devils. Duke’s 54-point output was its lowest since 1996, and its 27.7 shooting percentage was more than 12 percentage points worse than the team’s previous season low. Thomas finished with five blocks, but his overall effect on the defensive end was much greater. His athleticism and timing caused the Blue Devils to alter their shots—they missed several layups that they otherwise might have made. “It’s the first team we played all year that could really block shots like that,” Krzyzewski said. “It wasn’t just their onthe-ball defense or off-the-ball. Their ability to block shots made us change some shots inside. And I don’t know if we ever adjusted to that.”

Duke freshman’s fifth personal. Davis made one of the two shots to make the score 60-54 with 19 seconds remaining. When Redick missed a three-pointer on the other end, the game was effectively over. The end-of-game events served as redemption for Thomas and Davis, who battled foul trouble and were mostly ineffective on offense throughout most of the game. Thomas picked up his fourth foul with 12:44 left in the second half and played just 25 minutes in the contest. Davis played just 27 minutes, picking up his fourth personal with 8:47 to go. But when it really counted, the pair of underclassmen came through. “Things didn’t go my way today—they didn’t,” Davis said. “I just wanted to do something to turn the game around, to help out the team. And at that moment I saw the opportunity where I can get a rebound, and I went and got it—twice.” If Davis and Thomas made the endgame plays that mattered most, Mitchell may have made the defining mid-game play. With 8:47 to play in the second half, the Blue Devils were in the midst of a patented Duke run, a 10-0 spurt spanning 3:23 that turned a five-point Tiger lead into a five-point Blue Devil advantage. Mcßoberts rebounded a missed free throw by DeMarcus Nelson and kicked it out to Redick, who was wide open on the right wing. The senior guard’s three-point attempt —which may have been a kill shot if it had gone down—ratded out. On the other end, Mitchell nailed a three-pointer, completing a six-point swing. “It was real big,” Mitchell said. “It got us back to where we were and our intensity level. We knew they were going to give us a good punch, and we wanted to fight through, and that shot got us going again.” All game long, the Tigers’ defensive effort—especially that of Garrett Temple,

FRIDAY, MARCH 24,2006

W. BBALL

from page 11

Michigan State (24-9) boasts a squad that is physically different from any Duke (28-3) has played against this season. “We’ve played a couple of teams that had four players that could shoot the three, which Michigan State does,” Goestenkors said. “We’ve played a couple of teams like that but I don’t think they were quite as proficient as Michigan State. We’ve also played some teams that like to run the ball. I think Michigan State is a great transition team.” Goestenkors likened Michigan State’s fast breaks to those of North Carolina—whom the Blue Devils lost to twice this season—and also compared the Spartans’ shooting strengths to those of the Tar Heels and otherACC opponents Wake Forest and Florida State. But unlike other opponents Duke has seen this season, Michigan State utilizes quickness and toughness inside to make up for its smaller size. Leading the Spartans’ attack is senior forward Liz Shimek, who averages 17.9 points and 8.3 rebounds, and

senior guard Lindsay Bowen, Michigan State’s all-time leading three-point shooter. Shimek and Bowen are also the school’s first and second all-time leading scorers, re-

REDICK from page

spectively.

Redick’s struggles were certainly not the only reason the Blue Devils fell in the round of 16 for the fifth time in seven years. LSU put nearly all of its efforts into stopping the stellar shooter, and no one besides Shelden Williams could make them pay. Williams scored 23 inside, but, aside from Redick, the Blue Devils were 2-for-17 from behiftd the three-point line. “That may have been the best defensive effort that we have had or that I’ve seen one of my teams have,” LSU head coach John Brady said. “We knew we had to not let JJ. Redick get in the offense. We were going to double team him, follow him around, around the double screens that they set for him coming out of the lane. “We got good hedges. If there was ever any doubt that JJ. was going to break clean, we were going to run somebody else at him, even if it allowed two people to guard him and somebody else to go free.” Still, Redick allowed the Tigers’ defense to get to him —he forced many plays in the second half—leading to four turnovers against just one assist during the contest. Perhaps this was because of the pressure surrounding what would potentially be his final game,but it is still shocking considering that Redick has been the focal point of every opponent’s defense and has been physically punished by every opposing defender. As Redick was introduced prior to the game, Krzyzewski looked at his Player of the Year and gave him a simple command. “Have fun tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “Have fun.” It seemed Redick could not comply. The senior was completely frustrated all night both by his struggles and the extremely physical manner in which he was guarded. During the under-16-minute television timeout, Redick threw a towel halfway across the court in anger. On the first play out of the timeout, the senior stole the ball and raced down the court, where he was met at the rim by three Tigers, who sent Redick sprawling and his shot out of bounds. It had only been nine seconds of action, but Krzyzewski was forced to call a timeout to calm his star down. This time, the senior sent a towel into the rows behind the bench. While Redick’s Tourney struggles will certainly affect his legacy, they should not define it. In a game that rivaled his freshman performance against Kansas as his worst game, Redick could not help that his teammates could not hit threes to take pressure off him. He also could not help how loosely the game was being officiated—Redick shot just two free throws on a night when he was bumped on nearly every cut. And ultimately, he could not change the fact thatLSU’s young stars played well enough to make Redick’s poor performance his last. “Certain things are in your control and certain things are out of your control,” Redick said. “I’m not a great athlete and LSU has great athletes. And it was just a very physical game and obviously I’m disappointed in the way I played. But I’ve had a good year. Shelden’s had a good year. We have had a pretty outstanding year as a team. I’ll be alright.”

“They have an inside-outside attack with Liz Shimek and with their shooters on the outside,” freshman guard Abby Waner said. “So I think ultimately, like it does every single game, it comes down to us. And it shouldn’t matter who we’re playing or the opponent that we’re playing because we know that we have the talent to win every single game regardless of who the other team is.” Goestenkors said the Blue Devils will attempt to shut down Michigan State by using its size as an advantage. And fresh off a standout performance in the Blue Devils’ second-round game March 21, 6-foot-7 Alison Bales will be an asset for Duke. Bales'had a career-high 22 points on the night, as well as nine rebounds and six blocks. “We need to neutralize their quickness and take advantage of our height because we do have the size advantage,” Goestenkors said. “So I think it’ll be a battle, it’ll be a battle of styles of play.”

Obviously then, Wednesday night’s forum would have streamlined the endorsement

the candidates’ platforms, even if narrowly tailored dialogue between individual organizations and candidates is not as feasible in a forum setting as it is in individual interviews. Therefore, it’s disappointing that this otherwise ingenious attempt to simplify the endorsement process actually ended up being a sloppily

managed non-event. Some combination of poor advertisement and student apathy is responsible for Wednesday night’s empty lecture hall. The onus is on ICC, however, to advertisement these opportunities for dialogue and work to overcome the barrier of apathy. Unfortunately, ICC just messed up.

A splendid failure

learned about the candidates’ platforms and selected whom to endorse. This year there are 20 executive candidates, a marked increase from last year’s 12. It’s excellent that so many students have chosen to run. Interviewing each candidate individually, however, would be time-consuming for most student organizations. Additionally, candidates simply do not have dme to schedule separate interviews with all 30 student organizations in ICC that would potentially want to make an endorsement.

I wish that that freedom of action, so present at the beginning of freshman year, had not faded. We have built a myriad of walls separating our social community, and no one has the power to break them down. Instead we reinforce groups with brutal stereotypes. The obvious danger comes from outsiders judging individuals based on these stereotypes. The real damage, however, comes when the actual members start buying so far into the image of the people around them that they forget who they once were, and who they wanted to be. Kurt Vonnegut said; “We are what we pretend to be. So we must be careful who we pretend to be.” He got the second part right —we must be careful who we pretend to be. But our caution does not come from the fear that the facade we put in front of us will become us. It comes from the knowledge that the fagade will eventually fall, be destroyed or destroy us. That is the great realization of the first two years of my college career. Not that I can change and am perfectible, though I know that I can change and improve parts of me, but that I—no—we will always be, deep down, the same person we were back in high school, slamming our head against the computer, yelling at that odious, blinking vertical line, desperately hoping that there is something inside of us to fill the blank page in front of us, only to realize that after each blank page lies another.

Don’t tell me it hasn’t occurred to you that our intense hatred of Carolina and all things baby blue could be harnessed for a good beyond basketball. Finding a cure or saving a species or reviving the yearlong yellowing tufts of grass poking out miserably from our very own main quad may not be as impossible as it seems. At least, not if attempted through famed, concerted Blue Devilry—minus the bench pyrotechnics, for eco-friendly flair. So what would it take to get the greater part of the student body pumped about participating in a particular conservation movement or fundraising effort, a specific awareness walk or (fill in the blank)? I don’t (yet) have an answer. But maybe you do. Possibly deep, very deep, in the recesses of your mind. So sleep on it. Talk about it. Give it some real thought. You’ll need a tailored approach, and passing out free T-shirts probably isn’t going to cut it. Consider the leverage of star power, if possible. Maybe a few words from Coach K would do it after all. Because sure, maybe Duke basketball is destined to remain the point from which all else begins, blossoms and blooms. But through some characteristically Crazie ingenuity, perhaps we could ensure that the final buzzer isn’t where our collective A-game effort ends.

Hot

not?

have a confession to make: I have a huge thing for Mick Jagger. I myself find it odd that I am so attracted to an old, wrinkly man. My love for him eclipsed that of my original attraction to his band mate Keith Richards when I saw the Rolling Stones perform both at Duke this past fall. I don’t know what it is about him, but Mick Jagger is defi•jir""'SSR nitely just a straight-up hottie, chicken-dancing and all. However, let’s strip Mick Jagger down (no pun intended) to the bare essentials and assume that he isn’t a famous laura zwiener rock star and doesn’t hang the z spot out with his amazingly fabulous rock star friends. Mick Jagger is now just a regular dude, who works at a bank somewhere, but retains his current personality and sweet dance moves. Would I still see the same sexiness in him if I stumbled upon him under this context? Probably—but that’s just me. Let’s look at old Mick from another angle. Let’s assume he is just emerging onto the music scene. He is American, not British, and shows up to his first televised concert with a bunch of other old guys in his band, wearing tight leather pants, a tight black belly shirt and a green bolero (as he wore this past fall in Wallace Wade), and he proceeds to shimmy around the stage doing those now-famous chicken thrusts and waving arm movements. Would the Stones still be seen as sex symbols now, or would they be seen as wrinkly, old men who did too many drugs back in the day? Would Keith Richard’s impressive use of eyeliner and Mick Jagger’s wardrobe selection subject them to criticism if they were to emerge as new artists now? My point here, people, is that hotness and coolness are all relative, a fact that is overlooked often, whether in deciding who is “cool” or “hot” in the celebrity realm or on Duke’s campus. Think of the Mick Jaggers who walk among us daily, their unique brand of attractiveness and coolness unrecognized or simply undiscovered because Duke does not always provide them with an outlet in which to express it. Mick Jagger is cool because he’s original, and he’s hot because he’s always himself, and I think he would still be cool whether he was a regular dude at a bank or the rock god that he is today. Think ofhow many other people are doing exacdy this daily on campus, and think how often we might overlook these people who march to their own drummer simply because they don’t necessarily fit into what is considered “hot” and “cool” at Duke. Think of how vasdy different our current perceptions are from what we considered “hot” and “cool” in high school, as well as how these standards will once again change as we go out into the real world and as we grow older. So what’s the deal here, people? Why do we opt to comply with a fairly homogenous brand ofcool? The other day, I bravely sat down with the cute kid in my Spanish class who I always wanted to get to know but find myself weirdly staring at in class instead. He always seemed artsy and somewhat mysterious to me, and I’ve always thought he was really cool and attractive in his own way. Though this was our first time talking, we ended up having a great chat and now might even continue our relationship past awkward staring. Thinking about my encounter, I’m happy that I sat down and shared a snack with someone who I had always wanted to get to know, and who probably doesn’t fit into the very limited group of “cool” at Duke. But I also wondered why Spanish boy and I hadn’t gotten to know each other before. Why had we setded for mutual ignorance of each other all year when there was a real potential for a friendship? Were we both uncomfortable leaving our social comfort zones? How many other people at Duke want to reach out to those they find interesting, but never do? Standards of coolness change, as evidenced by the great divide between Mickjagger and the modern-day Justin Timberlakes. However, being unique deserves more props, especially as college is a time full of changes that you can use to figure out who you are and who you want to be. Attractiveness, as evidenced by my crush on an old guy, is relative, and each of our definitions for what and who we find attractive cannot fit into any mold. So why should we try and make one?
