Moussaoui eligible to be executed by

Matthew Barakat

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALEXANDRIA, Va. A federal jury found al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui eligible Monday to be executed, linking him directly to the horrific Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and concluding that his lies to FBI agents led to at least one death on that day. A defiant Moussaoui said, ‘You’ll never get my blood, God curse you all.” After months of hearings and trial testimony—punctuated by Moussaoui’s occasional outbursts—he now faces a second phase of the sentencing trial to determine if he actually will be put to death.

That phase begins Thursday morning for the only person to face charges in this country in connection with the nation’s worst assault, the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people as jetliners crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. Moussaoui sat in his chair and prayed silently as the verdict was read, refusing to join his defense team in standing. His comment came after the hearing. The jury now will hear testimony on whether the 37-year-old Frenchman, who was in jail at the time of the attacks, should be executed for his role. Those testifying will include families of

9/11 victims who will describe the human impact of the al Qaeda mission. Court-appointed defense lawyers will summon experts to suggest he is schizophrenic after an impoverished childhood during which he

faced racism in France over his Moroccan ancestry. The trial’s first phase, which focused strictly on legal arguments, had seemed Moussaoui’s best chance to avoid execution. The jury deciding his fate will now be weighing the emotional impact of nearly 3,000 deaths against Moussaoui’s rough childhood and possible evidence ofmental illness. SEE MOUSSAOUI ON PAGE 6

WASHINGTON Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Texan touched by a lobbying scandal that ensnared some of his former top aides and cost the Republican his leadership post, won’t seek reelection to Congress and intends to resign, Republican officials said Monday. They said DeLay would leave his seat in May or June. It was not clear whether or how DeLay could remove his name from the November ballot, but if he did, party officials would presumably be able to select a re-

placement who could then run against De-

mocratic nominee Nick Lampson. It’s unclear when DeLay reached his decision, but one official said he began informing close associates late last week. That was around the same time as a second former aide, Tony Rudy, pleaded guilty in a federal corruption investigation that has reached into DeLay’s office. DeLay was expected to disclose his plans Tuesday at a news conference in Houston, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the congressman had not yet made that announcement.

Brodhead discusses lax scandal with ICC, GPSC by

Ryan McCartney and Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

Amid continued campus turmoil sur-

rounding recent rape allegations directed

toward members of the men’s lacrosse team, President Richard Brodhead stressed the importance of education, respect and responsibility in meetings with two student groups Monday night. Brodhead addressed issues of security, race, town-gown relations and alcohol with the graduate and professional community and undergraduate student leaders at the Intercommunity Council meeting. His discussions came in the wake of allegations that three members of the men’s lacrosse team raped and assaulted an exotic dancer at an off-campus party March 13. The University’s president has been reaching out to various Duke and Durham

community members, including Mayor

eral religious leaders. “Everybody understands the capacity of this event to rip this place apart and reactivate tensions with very long-running histories,” he told members of the graduate and professional community. “Everyone I’ve talked to, who’s lived in this city in a substantial way, understands how very dangerous that would be.” Brodhead said it is natural for many community members to be upset, adding that campus leaders should use the current situation as an opportunity to bridge existing gaps and make the community “stronger rather than weaker.” “Even if the most serious of these things come to pass, it will be in our power to write a better history,” he said. Brodhead also stressed the importance of avoiding judgment until all the facts have been established. TOM

While Duke remains under the national

Administration officials are not yet certain about the incident’s effect on admitted students’ decision to attend the University. “It will very much depend on what happens in the coming days and weeks, how the University as a whole responds and how that response is perceived by members of the Duke community, prospective students and their parents,” said Christoph Guttentag, dean of undergraduate admissions. “It does seem to me that things are

City Council members voted 7-0 in favor of rezoning Goodwin Crossing to allow for a new development project at Monday’s Council meeting, despite complaints from residents. In addition, Council member Howard Clement urged the Council to release a statement in response to allegadons from a black North Carolina Central University student that members of the Duke men’s lacrosse team raped her. Residents who opposed the motion to rezone the North Durham community feared that the new subdivision was

planned with too many housing lots. They insisted that the overcrowding would create problems for residents, like themselves, who live in the surrounding communities. Complaints about the rezoning included apprehension, about the effect of a new subdivision on area schools, traffic and the aesthetic value of area neighborhoods. “Our schools are already ready to approach 110 percent capacity,” resident Nancy Quinn told Council members.

THE CHRONICLE

To kick off Around the World in Seven Days and Social Justice Week, the International Association in conjunction with the Community Service Center held a panel discussion about the misconceptions and consequences of the avian flu. The five Duke panelists consisted of Dr. John Engemann, an epidemiologist, Dr. Michael Cuffe, vice president for medical affairs, Dr. Sam Katz, emeritus chair of the department of pediatrics and world-renowned vaccinologist, Dr. Richard Frothingham, an infectious diseases and international health specialist, and Dr. Philip Rosoff, director of the Clinical Ethics Program. “As someone from Asia, this subject is very personal to me,” said junior Sally Ong, president of the International Association. “When I was in France two weeks ago, before the riots, this is what everyone was talking about.” She said the avian flu has spread from Asia to Europe and to Africa, adding that it soon will cross the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. Other panelists agreed that the avian flu may reach the States within six months. The question of how much governments spend on healthcare and vaccinations does not lie with a country’s minister of health but with its minister of finance, Katz said. “The host who acquires this infection in sub-Saharan Africa, where they are dealing with malaria, HIV, AIDS and tuberculosis, is a lot more fragile than the people sitting in this room,” he added. “The mortality rate will be a lot more severe in [the

When asked why more people are not regularly vaccinated for the flu, which seasonally claims 20,000 to 40,000 individuals, the panelists cited a range of misconceptions responsible, such as a lack of knowledge about the effects of

She advised guides against focusing too much on the lacrosse events and neglecting important material usually covered on tours. In spite of the challenges faced by the administration and students representing the University, organizers are optimistic about the turnout of both LSRW and Duke Up Close “We’ve certainly poured everything we have into making this weekend happen,” Lopez said. “We believe that the weekend has been a success, and our hope is that many of our attendees will matriculate at Duke.” Armando Priego —a high school senior from Bellflower, Calif, here for LSRW —said his tour guide and other students have been helpful and open to discussing the ramifications of the incident. “The tour guide has mentioned it and given me his take on the situation and allowed me to form my own opinion, as well as given me the common sentiment among many students which has helped me to better understand the community at Duke,” he said.

On the key question before the jurors in phase one, they answered yes that at least one victim died Sept. 11 as a direct result of Moussaoui’s actions. Had the jury voted against his eligibility for execution, Moussaoui would have been sentenced to life in prison. Rosemary Dillard, whose husband Eddie died in the attacks, said she felt a sense of vindicationfrom the verdict. “This man has no soul, has no conscience,” she said of Moussaoui. “What else could we ask for but this?” Abraham Scott, who lost his wife Janice Marie on 9/11, said he actually felt sorry for Moussaoui “But not enough to drop the possibility of him getting the death penalty. “I describe him like a dog with rabies, one that cannot be cured. The only cure is to put him or her to death,” Scott said. But Scott said he also blamed the government “for not acting on certain indicators that could have prevented 9/11 happening.” The jury began weighing Moussaoui’s fate lastWednesday. During its deliberations, jurors asked only one question publicly, seeking a definition of “weapon of mass destruction.” One of the three convictions for which Moussaoui could be executed is conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. The jurors were told that a plane used as a missile—the tactic employed on Sept. 11—qualifies as a weapon of mass destruction. Moussaoui pleaded guilty last April to conspiring with al Qaeda to hijack airplanes and other crimes. At the time, he denied being part of the 9/11 plot, saying he was being trained for a separate attack, but he changed his story when he took the stand and claimed he was to have flown a hijacked airliner into the White House that day. The defense suggested Moussaoui would say anything to derail his own defense so he could achieve martyrdom through execution.

The issue was the theme of Brodhead’s inaugural weekend in September 2004. Interdisciplinarity is central to the certificate, which will be co-directed by Sherryl Broverman, assistant professor of the practice of biology, as well as another still-undetermined member of the humanities faculty. A graduate certificate in global health is also making its way through the ap-

proval process. For three new undergraduate programs to come into consideration at the same time is not particularly unusual, said Alvin Crumbliss, professor of chemistry and chair of the Curriculum Committee. “Having three in a year is sort of high, but not really,” Crumbliss said. He noted that the certificates are products of development throughout the academic year, adding that scheduling challenges delayed the consideration of two of the programs. If approved by the Arts and Sciences Council, the certificate programs should open to undergraduates this fall.

“We are standing in an effort against sexual assault,” NCCU junior Sasha Vann said. Organizers planned the event in order to make their voices heard at NCCU and said they also hoped to “help Duke students fight their fight.” “I was glad to see the students ofmy university show up as a family,” said NCCU junior Maya Jackson, one of the organizers of the event. NCCU Student Body President Renee Clark, a senior, read an official statement from the university and urged the crowd to consider the alleged vicdm “as someone we personally know.” Mindful that the investigation is still underway, Clark asked the NCCU community to embrace patience in the coming weeks and months. “What is done in the dark will alwa come out in the light,” she said A local Durham artist who is also a member of Men Against Rape Culture said he hopes to change the circumstances that often allow rape to happen. He read a piece of his poetry to emphasize his message of an improved sense of community. “I love to hear people talk about an NCCU family because family is needed, unity is needed... and retaliation is not the answer,” he said. Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, emphasized that those who demand justice in this case “must not be wrongly described as a lynch mob.” Barber also noted the importance of seeking God for guidance and asked the crowd to pray for the accused because they “are suffering themselves from a deep sickness in their souls.” After a moment of silence, organizers offered an opportunity for anyone in the crowd to speak. An NCCU student who identified herself as a lesbian told the crowd she was once raped by a man. She said people would never expect her to be a victim ofsexual assault. The young woman encouraged others to speak up about their experiences in order to avoid “a life of misery and pain.” A Presbyterian minister who works at NCCU condemned the media’s portrayal of the allegations. “We hear the lacrosse team mentioned in a positive light, and we see the young lady as a stripper, and we won’t have it,” she said. Vann said she would like to see the Duke administration punish students for “confirmed” violations, referring specifically to racial slurs heard by neighbors. Although many have criticized the Duke administration’s reaction to the allegations, NCCU senior Larisha Stone said she would like to see the NCCU administration “take a stance on the issue.” “We want facts, and we want answers from our administration as well,” she said. Rann Bar-on, a third-year graduate student in mathematics at Duke who is known for his work with the Progressive Alliance, noted it was important that Duke students attend the vigil at NCCU. “I hope that this [controversy] will bring Central and Duke kids together,” he said. NCCUjuniorKrystal Applewhite said she believed that if the tables were turned, the case would be treateddifferently.“lf it was our football team, they’d be in jail right now,” she said. The vigil was the first ofmany scheduled events to take place on the NCCU campus this week in response to the rape allegations.

BRODHEAD from page 3 “This business of a presumption of innocence is not just some abstract thing that people in law schools care about,” Brodhead told the graduate and professional community. “It is actually the safeguard that allows all of us to live our lives.” Some in attendance at the two meetings wanted to know why the University is not conducting its own investigation. Brodhead said Duke does not have access to some key information. ‘You could lose a police case because of a university’s involvement,” Brodhead said in his address to ICC. “If we were to conduct our own separate parallel investigation, there’s all kinds of ways that could interfere —without meaning to—with the police investigation,” he said when he spoke to graduate and professional community. He added that the University will respond appropriately and seriously if members of the lacrosse team are, in

fact, culpable. In light ofrecent security threats directed toward Duke students, Brodhead emphasized the importance ofunderstanding one’s place in the larger Durham community. Friday night, police responded to rumors of potential gang-related violence on N. Buchanan Boulevard, where many students live and where the alleged rape took place. The night before, two students were harassed and assaulted outside Cook Out restaurant. “I can’t guarantee that there won’t be repercussions,” Brodhead said. “All I can tell you is, this is one of the many, many reasons that we all should take our citizenship at Duke University and in this town very seriously at this time.” Race —a topic that looms large in discourse about what some have called strained relations between Duke and Durham —also arose as an issue during Brodhead’s conversations. “People have told me that this campus is steeped in racism and sexism,” Brodhead said. “When I hear that, I know that there might be some measure of truth in those statements.... I want people to grow less comfortable with these things.” Although he is still mulling over the suggestion that all incoming students be required to take diversity and racial sensitivity classes, Brodhead said some types of attitudes toward race can be “educated out of you.” Some graduate and professional students said they are concerned by perceived University inaction in response to racial slurs allegedly used by members of the lacrosse team March 13. The president said crime and punishment only allow for a limited degree of personal growth, adding that better results are found through criticism, shame and education. “The punishment that would suit me is the punishment that would make that person never think such things again and understand why they mattered,” Brodhead said. Strained Duke-Durham relations have been a source of concern for many during the past few weeks. Brodhead admitted that the current situation is “volatile” and has struck chords of animosity and antagonism among some members of the Duke and Durham communities. “I understand the potential at this point for Duke to be perceived in a bad light. We owe it to ourselves to remember the good along with the bad,” he said, citing various projects, through which Duke has helped to enhance the Durham community. Brodhead said Durham leaders nevertheless know members of the administration want to work with the surrounding neighborhoods to move forward. “As far as the leaders of the city go, I have no worries,” Brodhead said. “This is not exactly the place where never is heard a discouraging word, and the deer and the ante-

lope play.”

In both conversations, Brodhead noted that the al-

leged incident brings a number of cultural concerns

the table—not the least of which is alcohol. “It is hard for me to believe that people would have done sober what they apparendy did drunk,” Brodhead said, adding that his use of the word “apparendy” did not confirm or renounce certain team members’ innocence. He said the issue in question is “how you can promote a culture in which people have access to something that’s a pleasure, and then take responsibility for it—not crossing into the point where it becomes something that weakens the will and allows people to do something they’re ashamed of.” Brodhead did not say anything more about the punishment of lacrosse team members and the future of the program. “I did make it clear that the suspension of the games was not a punishment but rather because at this time it was not appropriate [to play games],” Brodhead said.

was a little too risky,” DeLay told the Galveston paper. House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, called his predecessor “one of the most effective and gifted leaders the Republican Party has ever known.” “He has served our nation with integrity and honor, and I’m honored to call him my colleague and friend,” Boehner said. DeLay relinquished the post as House majority leader last fall upon his indictment in Texas and decided in January against trying to get the leadership post back as an election-year corruption scandal staggered Republicans and emboldened minority Democrats. A Texas grand jury indicted DeLay on charges related to laundering campaign funds'in a Republican bid to win control of the Texas legislature in the 2002 elections. He is accused of funneling corporate donations to Republican candidates for the Texas House in violation of state laws. Federal prosecutors also are investigating DeLay’s ties to convicted lobbyist Jack Abram off. DeLay has denied any wrongdoing in both cases. Earlier this year, DeLay had vowed to run a “very vigorous campaign” and win re-election. But the congressman’s woes continued to build over the past week. On Friday, his former chief of staff pleaded guilty to conspiracy and promised to help with a federal investigation of bribery and lobbying fraud relating to Abramoff. Tony Rudy admitted to conspiring with Abramoff—both while Rudy worked for the Texas congressman and after he left the lawmaker’s staff to become a lobbyist himself. Rudy is the second former DeLay staffer to plead guilty to federal charges in connection with the lobbying probe. Michael Scanlon, a former DeLay press secretary who later became a lobbying partner with Abramoff, pleaded guilty last fall to conspiring to bribe public officials. Rudy’s plea agreement makes no allegation that DeLay did anything wrong. Just days before Rudy’s plea, Abramoff—who is helping the congressional corruption investigation in Washington—was sentenced to nearly six years in prison for fraud in connection with a separate case, a casino boat business deal. DeLay’s announcement Tuesday will trigger the end of a long career. Called “the Hammer” for his hard-nosed approach, DeLay ensured House passage of much of Bush’s legislative agenda, including tax cuts, trade agreements and a Medicare prescription drug plan. His brass-knuckled political tactics drew the ire of Democrats, Washington lobbyists and good-government types. “His devotion to the cause has led him to push the envelope as hard as possible and not hold back,” said Gary C. Jacobson, a professor of political science at the University ofCalifornia at San Diego. DeLay has worked tirelessly to increase the Republican majority in the House since the GOP swept out the Democrats in 1994. He raised tens of millions for Republican candidates and used his own leadership political action committee to shower cash on GOP hopefuls. In 2002, he helped buck the historic trend of midterm congressional election losses for the party controlling the White House; instead Republicans gained in the House. He strong-armed a redistricting plan for Texas that led to the defeat of five Democrats in the state in 2004. The House ethics committee rebuked DeLay for using the Federal Aviation Administration in the search for Texas Democratic lawmakers trying to avoid a vote on the redistricting proposal.

BOSTON In her five years at Duke, Monique Currie has been a part of three Final Four and two Elite Eight teams. The senior All-American has come close

winning a national tide—which would be the first in program history—but has

never made it to the championship game until now. For Currie and the rest of her teammates, the prospect of winning a National Championship has been looming overhead all season. Deeper and more balanced than in years past, Duke has held the goal of bringing a banner home to Cameron Indoor Stadium in the back of its mind. Currie, who considered leaving the Blue Devils for the WNBA after last year, said part of the reason she decided to return for a final season was to help solidify the program’s national reputation for head coach Gail Goestenkors. “I know people knock her because we haven’t won a National Championship and I just wanted to be a part of something that would make history for her and get her over that hump,” Currie said. “[I wanted to] at least give her the chance to accomplish that goal that we’ve all had since I was a freshman, every year.” And despite the upcoming finals matchup against Maryland—one of just two teams Duke lost to this season and a conference opponent that it is more than familiar with—the Blue Devils have not shown signs that they are phased. The players said they are not nervous, but rather confident, and they plan to treat their final game of the season just like any other. “This year, it’s different because I feel like this team is more prepared than we have ever been for any situation,” senior Mistie Williams said. “I think the freshmen have done a tremendous job in not getting caught up in all of this, too. We’ve done a great job keeping everybody really calm and making sure everybody realizes that we’re only here for one reason, and that’s to win.” In the past, Goestenkors said she and her players felt pressured in the NCAA Tournament to capture Duke’s first tide. The Blue Devils’ last two trips to the Final Four in 2002 and 2003 came during seasons in which many expected them to take home the trophy. Now, however, the Blue Devils have stepped back from the pressure cooker and are playing it cool. “I’ve let that worry go about winning the national title,” Goestenkors said. “I know we’re going to win it at some point SEE PRESSURE ON PAGE 19

San Jose, Calif—l999 Duke 81, Georgia 69 Purdue 62, Duke 45 Duke advanced to its first Final Four as a No. 3 seed with upset wins over Old Dominion and top-seed Tennessee. The Blue Devils defeated third-seeded Georgia in the national semifinals behind 22 points from Nicole Erickson and 20 from Michele VanGorp. In the finals, Duke led a defensive struggle, 22-17, at halftime, but Purdue, the top-ranked team in the nation, came alive in the second half and pulled away for a 17-point win and the Boilermakers’ first National

For 40 lopsided minutes, the Gators (336) were too big, too long and too quick for UCLA, which came up a win short of its 12th National Title on a night when legendary coach John Wooden watched from a hospital bed in LA after being admitted for an undisclosed illness that was said not to be serious.

The Bruins (32-7) were on a defensive tear coming into the championship game, shutting down LSU’s Glen Davis in the semifinals and allowing a total of 90 points in the last two games. Florida, though, was just too much to handle. Noah capped it off with a monster dunk with 1:09 left. When the buzzer sounded, he laid flat on his back at halfcourt and let the confetti rain on him. His teammates were in a pile a few feet away and Donovan was sharing hugs with his longtime assis-

Anthony Grant. The Gators won this by taking it right to UCLA early, looking down low to Noah, Corey Brewer, A1 Horford and senior Adrian Moss, making the extra pass in the key and finishing with 21 assists, 10 of them from their frontcourt. “They made it very difficult for us to get prepared,” Donovan said. “Just trying to space the floor. And you have to extra pass against them.” Junior Lee Humphrey provided the outside punch, spotting up for open looks against a collapsing defense early in the second half. His first three, 80 seconds into the half, gave Florida a 39-25 lead and forced Howland to call timeout. A sloppy offensive possession ensued, then Humphrey came back with another three. But there was no strategy to stop Noah. The sophomore dunked, swatted shots and dominated the game. Noah had five blocks by halftime, already one better than the NCAA championship game record set by Arizona’s Loren Woods in 2001, and he finished with 29 for the tournament, shattering Woods’ record by five. “They left us relying on our dribble penetration and they either blocked shots or changed a lot of shots,” UCLA guard Jordan Farmar said. His final block came with about five minutes left after the Bruins had cut a 20point deficit to 12. Hollins tried to take it strong, but Noah stuffed the shot, grabbed the rebound and stood there calmly waiting for things to clear. About two minutes later, Florida was back up by 16 and those Gator chomps were starttant

RECRUITING

Non-revs: Thomas still weighing options worth the cost? by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Last semester, Assistant Professor of

Sociology David Brady asked his Organizations and Management class a hypothetical question: Is Duke financially justified in continuing its non-revenue

athledc programs? The question was meant to show that organizations do not operate strictly always ww in accordance with economic principles. But now the ques1 . michael tion may be getting some non-hypothetical consideration The allegations surrounding the men’s lacrosse team have brought to the forefront many of the issues currently facing Duke, not the least of which is the school’s attempt to maintain a top-tier athletics department while providing Ivy League-level academics. One of the reasons many people, myself included, are attracted to Duke is the combination of top academics and highlevel athletics it offers. But has the school overstepped its limitations in its attempt to support 26 elite varsity teams within one of the smallest schools in Division IA? Is it really possible, or even desirable, to maintain a population of more than 700 varsity athletes in a school with an undergraduate enrollment of 6,300? Stanford, a school of similar size and academic aspirations, is always the example that it can be done. But the financial differences between the two schools are striking—Duke has only 44 of its 235 scholarships fully endowed, while Stanford works with a $375-million athletic endowment. During the 2002-2003 academic year, sports other than football and men’s basketball brought in just more than

With numerous scholarship offers and qualifying test scores, most top-flight recruits pick a school before the NCAA’s early signing period ends in November. Not so, however, for Newark, N.J., senior Lance Thomas. Although most of his basketball-playing counterparts have already decided their college plans, Thomas remains one of two McDonald’s All-Americans that have not yet reached a decision. “It’s two totally different choices that have made it hard,” explained Dan Hurley, Thomas’ high school coach at St. Benedict’s Prep. “He’s got an opportunity to go play at the best college basketball program at one of the best universities in the country, with all the tradition and history at Duke. Then he has Rutgers, the local school, which is hoping to establish a tradition, which he would be a part of.” Thomas could be the first McDonald’s All-American to set foot on Rutgers’ campus in recent memory. Combined with Quincy Douby, the Big East’s leading scorer this season, Thomas could help the Scarlet Knights reach their first NCAA Tournament since 1991. More importantly, Thomas’ commitment could help Rutgers convince other top players in the talent-rich state of New Jersey to play for their home school. “I think it would make Rutgers more of an option for [St. Benedict’s teammates] Stokes, Samardo Corey [Samuels],” Hurley said. “But it doesn’t make it the best situation for them.” In order to pick Rutgers, however, Thomas would have to turn down one of the nation’s best programs. Since Rutgers’ last NCAA Tournament appearance, Duke has won three national titles, appeared in six Final Fours, and advanced to 12 Sweet 16s. Moreover, at 6-foot-8, 200 pounds, Thomas brings the versatility and athleticism that the Blue Devils lacked this season. That versatility was evidenced in a nine-point performance in the McDonald’s All-American game in which he

NCAA’s Spring signing period, his final decision could be forthcoming. “I’d say after this weekend.... I think he’ll have enough time to watch teams play, get a real chance to evaluate the situation, get a sense if players are going to leave early for the NBA,” Hurley said. “I think he’s examined all ofhis options as efficiently as possible.” Participating with Thomas in last week’s McDonald’s All-American game were two SEE RECRUIT ON PAGE 19

ATTENTION: BONFIRE GUIDELINES April 3, 2006 This is to remind you about revisions to the the bonfire policy in effect for this year. Last year, the Durham Fire Marshal revoked the remaining 2005 bonfire permits following a bonfire that, in his view, had gotten out of control. The university, with student input, has agreed upon operating rules that will govern all future bonfires and will help ensure them to be safe celebrations. The Durham Fire Marshal has clearly stated that we will lose our privilege to have future bonfires if we are unable to adhere to the guidelines below.

1. The University has one remaining City bonfire permit for April 4, 2006. The Fire Marshal has not issued an official permit, but will make a game-day ruling when the operating procedures have been fulfilled.

2. The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. A 40-foot boundary will be placed around the bonfire. The bonfire is to remain wholly within the boundary and members of the Duke Community are to remain outside the boundary.

3. Benches should be stacked no more than 6 feet high, with no more than 2 benches stacked horizontally on top of one another. Benches should not be placed on end.

4. Intermittently, the bonfire must “bum down” to a safe height. During “bum down” periods, no additional fuel may be added into the bonfire. This includes anything flammable. There are no

exceptions.

5. If you cany a beverage, use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad.

6. Do not sit or stand on building roofs.

7. Do not use residence hall furniture or left-over wood as fuel for the bonfire. 8. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game. 9. The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited. 10. Bonfires on any other days or location will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day or another location will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution. The Durham Fire Marshal has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.

RECRUIT from page 17

TIAN, QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Head coach Gail Goestenkors said she feels less pressure in herfourth Final Four and second National Title game.Duke fell, 62-45, to Purdue in the 1999finals.

PRESSURE

from page 15

and so that’s given me great freedom, great confidence. I think I’ve learned not to try to force it to happen.” Goestenkors said when the team went to the Final Four in 2002 and 2003, she had the team try primarily to get Duke standout Alana Beard the ball in order to score. The strategy could not deliver a trip to the finals for the Blue Devils, as Duke

limited its offense to a one-sided attack, “We were the No. 1 [seed] going into the tournament,” Goestenkors said. “And we felt the pressure but we never talked about it, like it would go away if we didn’t talk about it. And I learned from that.” This year, the Blue Devils boast a balanced inside-outside attack that relies on all of their starters to produce and consistently calls upon their bench to perform as well. Fully utilizing its team structure, Duke will continue to rely on its

depth and balance in its final game Tuesday night to alleviate the pressure situation of years past. “This year, more than ever, we have taken the pressure and put it on all of us and not to just one person, to have Monique score 20 points a game or have Coach G come up with a perfect game plan,” Williams said. “Everybody has taken a little bit of the pressure so that way it’s not overbearing.... We’re just so close that there’s no need to feel any pressure.”

Duke signees, Gerald Henderson and Jon Scheyer. Henderson, who won the dunk contest earlier in the week, led the East squad in scoring with 16 points, including acrobatic dunks, a deep threepointer, and a number of smooth drives to the basket. “Gerald Henderson is about as good of an athlete that Duke’s had in its program since Dahntay Jones,” Telep said. “I think he gives them an aggressive, attacking style of player offensively, and a diverse athletic player who can be a primetime player defensively.” Scheyer, who drew Henderson as a defensive assignment much of the night, got a first-hand look at his future teammate. Scheyer finished with an efficient nine points on just four shots. In addition, the Northbrook, 111. product gathered three rebounds and four assists playing at both guard positions throughout the night. A long Scheyer three-pointer helped to key a second-halfWest run that spurred them to victory. “Overall floor game is the most impressive part ofwhat Jon does—he’s a guy that does not have to dominate the ball because he can pass the basketball,” Telep said. “Big shot is what he is, he led his team to an unprecedented Illinois state championship as a junior. Jon Scheyer has about as many intangibles as a 6’6”, 6’7” wing player can possibly have.” Despite their impressive performances, however, both Telep and Hurley cautioned against using the All-American game as bellwethers of future performance. “A team like that doesn’t really feature great winners who play great when there’s real coaching and real winning and officiating,” Hurley said.

MOORE from page 17 $560,000, while costing the University more than $lO mil-

lion While the athletics department as a whole operated in the black that year, the department remains heavily dependent on annual contributions from its athletic boosters, the Iron Dukes. This reality has become more noticeable as the University attempts to secure $l5 million for the construction of the Center for Athletic Excellence. The argument has consistently been that funding these non-revenue sports is an investment to further the collegiate experience of students, much like funding the English department. This point was emphasized by NCAA President Myles Brand this past weekend. “Participating in college sports is part of the educational experience of the students,” Brand told CBS. “It helps them not just on campus in terms of getting an education, but in life as well for all the lessons and values that they learn. If that’s true, what we want to do is maximize the number of participants. “As these universities become pressed in terms of their

revenue streams and overextending on the other side, there may become pressure to cut back in some sports. That is a place where I think we are putting at risk the enterprise.... The goal really is to increase those participation opportunities, even in the sports that don’t make revenue.” The recent counterargument at Duke, however, has become that the English department is not creating negative press on the front page of the New York Times. Aside from the rape allegations, which as of Monday had produced no charges, there have been other non-revs making headlines that don’t exactly reflect well on the University. Last year, the baseball team and former head coach Bill Hillier spent the second half of their season answering questions about steroid use. This year, on the same day the lacrosse team was giving DNA samples, a member of the wrestling team was arrested and jailed for first-degree burglary and assaulting an officer, after admittedly eating mushrooms. Brodhead said recently that the lacrosse party was, “wholly inappropriate to the values of our athletics program and the University.” Perhaps the question now is whether the athletics program fits the values of where this University wants to go.

The 78-70 loss in Greensboro—Duke’s second defeat in three games—sent the Blue Devils back to Durham without playing for the ACC Tide for the first time in six years. The loss served as a wake-up call to the team, and after two days off, Goestenkors turned up the intensity of her practices. The coach forced her squad to recommit to rebounding and playing tough defense to complement the nation’s most prolific scoring offense. The two weeks off before the start of the NCAA Tournament allowed ample time for Goestenkors’ message to ring clear. Since opening up the Tournament March 19, Duke has been playing its best basketball of the season. “Right now I think we’re in a really good place,” Goestenkors said. “Even before the game last night in the locker room while we were talking, you could just sense a very quiet confidence.” Duke may be acting like it has been here before because many ofits players have. Three years ago with Alana Beard running the show, the Blue Devils reached the Final Four only to lose in the semifinals. The year before that, when fifth-year senior Monique Currie was just a freshman, Duke also made it to the final weekend but fell short of the last game. It is not just postseason play in general that the Blue Devils are familiar with, though. Tuesday night’s battle, which will be the first time in Tournament history that two ACC teams will meet for the National Championship, is the fourth game of the season between Duke and Maryland. “It’s an advantage because we know their tendencies,” sophomore point guard Lindsey Harding said. “But it’s also a disadvantage because they know yours. It’s just all going to come down to who’s more physical, who’s stronger both physically and mentally.” During the March 4 loss, Maryland’s frontcourt combination of Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper outworked Duke as the Terrapins out-rebounded the Blue Devils and made 13 more free throws. But in the two regular-season matchups, it was Duke that came out with wins, using its depth and balanced offensive attack to wear down Maryland’s pressure defense. “We’ve played Maryland three times this season, and they have played us tough each time,” junior center Alison Bales said. “Everyone talks about how young they are, but they are talented and tough.” Langhorne, Harper, point guard Kristi Toliver and ACC Freshman of the Year Marissa Coleman lead Maryland’s attack. Langhorne and Harper are both sophomores, while Toliver and Coleman are freshmen. Head coach Brenda Frese’s young team plays a similar style to North Carolina—which Maryland beat Sunday —as the Terrapins press on defense and push the ball up the floor on offense. Before the season, Frese’s young group was regarded as talented but likely a year or two away from competing for the program’s first National Championship. Duke, now in its second title game and fourth Final Four, has dealt with the expectations of winning one for several years. “I feel like we’re going to win it at some point,” Goestenkors said. “We have established ourselves as one of the premier programs in the country. Winning that national title I think would just put a little exclamation point on it.” ’

So what is a Dukie to do? What are we to glean from recent events? Are we safe? One thing is for sure: Improving safety on and around campus is big job that must be shared by all involved parties. The University has the wherewithal to effect tangible change to security in the areas immediately surrounding campus. Increased security and police patrols around popular student hangouts and in neighborhoods where Duke students live is not an unreasonable expectation. Also, the University should work with the city of Durham to install better lighting on

the path from East Campus Ninth Street. The University should also be diligent and punctual in keeping students informed of credible threats to our safety and ofcrimes that have taken place on or very near campus. We don’t doubt that city officials recognize the importance of the relationship between Duke and Durham. The city government must realize that Duke-on-Durham and Durham-on-Duke crimes are some of the major factors contributing to strained relations. The city should do everything in its power to make sure that areas around Duke are safe spaces for students to go. Students should also take a proactive role in making their Durham experiences safer. They should realize they live in a city with lots to offer—trendy restaurants, a vibrant arts scene and a di-

any safer. All these events are just the latest chapter in an old, long story of gun- and branch-wielding strangers mugging students and the general feeling of undergraduates that Durham is unsafe, or, in student-speak,

Recendy, I’ve had coundess people come up to me and say, “Jake, you are our last hope. We need you, as the embodiment of our generation, to rise up in all your glory and provide us with hope and lead.

ership.”

After hearing enough people tell me this, I realized that it was true. I decided that I had an obligation to provide a little positivity for the hundreds of thousands of people at Duke who see me as one of the last true American heroes—you’re on your own with the dragons, though. So I’ve decided to use my own orangutan-arms to type up a list of some things that have been making me feel happy lately. If everything goes as planned, they will make you feel happy as well. Here goes nothing: One thing that has given me a lot of joy recently is the beautiful weather. After three years of snow and ice storms, this global warming stuff is finally kicking in. I love it. In order to get the most out of this weather, I’ve decided to limit my class attendance only to days during which it’s snowing or hailing—l encourage you to do the same. Even though the men’s basketball team exited the NCAA tournament early this year, I’m glad none of the other No. 1 seeds are left. If we can’t win it all this year, none of the other good teams should be able to either. I’ve been grateful that all these shootings and the gang activity around campus have really taken a lot of heat off of the underground cockfighting

citizenry.

But with the benefits of living in a city come the unfavorable aspects, like crime. Students should realize that crime in Durham is a reality. Keeping this in mind before walking alone to Cosmic or Shooter’s at midnight isn’t only smart, it’s necessary. Editor’s note: A paragraph of

yesterday’s staff editorial was inadvertantly cut off in layout. The concluding lines

should have read: “There are some among us, undergraduate and graduates alike, who think Duke breeds cultures of hate, racism, sexism and other forms ofbackward thinking.

league that I’ve started on Central Campus. You’re not going to want to miss this week’s fight. We’ve got Randy the Rhode Island Red fighting Hector

“El Polio Loco” Martinez. Make sure to arrive early if you want a good seat—remember, all bets are off at 9:30 p.m. sharp. I’m also happy that Brokeback Mountain comes out on DVD today. The brilliandy told story about two people who are deeply in love but can never be together really tugs at my heartstrings —and helps remind me that liberal propaganda is everywhere. You can’t trust Hollywood or the cultural anthropology

department. Speaking of Cultural Anthropology, I am glad that someone has finally taken action against Duke’s Soc-Sci division of the Red Guard. Way to go, Students for Academic Freedom—somebody had to start protecting us from these “Universityauthorized event” terrorists. I feel safer knowing that you are working hard to protect David Horowitz’s fragile self-esteem as well as my freedom. I was really pleased to see Elliott Wolf (or as I like to call him, elUott.dorm.duke.edu Wolf) was able to use his orangutan arms to grab the DSG presidency. I predict that Elliott will be the best president ever, unless he is unable to get his server back up, in which case he will be the worst president ever. I haven’t seen Lost in a month, Elliott—who are The Others, Elliott? Who are The Others?! Also, I’m really thrilled that my roommate finally stopped flinging poop. I suppose I should have known what I was getting myself into when I got a roommate from Miami, but I never really expected it to be this bad. I’m happy that our women’s basketball team is playing in the finals tonight. It’s nice to know that we may get another National Championship banner in Cameron, and we don’t have to worry about any of our benches getting burned. Speaking of sports, it’s cool that we don’t have to worry about the lacrosse team adding any more losses on their record. I just wish we could all be as certain about their criminal records. These are just a few ofthe things making me happy of late; I hope that some of these have at least helped to put a smile on your face. Even though what’s happening at our school right now really isn’t funny, it’s still important to be able to laugh about something.

The real face of Duke University For

the past two weeks, the Durham Herald-Sun has been filled with articles and angry letters from community members, many blaming the Duke student body for their appalling, dangerous, racist behavior. Residents have called on the city to do a better job protecting its citizens from Duke students I don’t blame the people of Durham for being upset; the allegations of rape are very serious. However, I am disappointed and angry at the way Durham david fiocco residents have been so quick to sensationalize the story and shades of blue criminalize the entire student body. Even if every single member of the team was complicit in a rape that night, the team is still just 46 men. There are more than 6,000 undergraduates at Duke. Somehow in the uproar following the party, the 46 lacrosse players have become the face of the University. This is wrong, and it is timefor the Durham community to stop claiming we are all to blame. I wish I had a whole newspaper to tell the stories of the many Duke organizations that make a difference in this community. Instead, I am just going to offer a few special snapshots. Hundreds of young people throughout the city are touched by the work of Duke students tutoring, mentoring, playing and teaching. Just a few blocks from campus, students help Spanishspeaking students at E.K. Powe Elementary learn English and adjust to their new environments. At the Carter School, Duke students actually teach, developing and planning the curriculum for a number of subjects. Eighth-graders at the Durham Nativity School are discovering community service in a hands-on way, renovating a women’s shelter and learning about civic responsibility in a class taught by two Duke sophomores. Last Thursday’s Herald-Sun featured three Duke students working tirelessly to bring a chapter of Breakthrough Collaborative, a summer nationwide tutoring and mentoring program, to Durham next year. The Duke-Durham Tennis Project teaches tennis to underprivileged Durham youngsters. The WOODS organization goes to community centers around Durham each week to teach ecology and environmental science to elementary and middleschoolers. “The Remix” is an all-girls multicultural dance class at the West End Community Center in which ten inner-city adolescents learn about diversity and foreign cultures while dancing the afternoon away. “Step into the WILD” brings nature to Hillsdale High School as Duke students lead high school wilderness expeditions. The all-Duke volunteer Starworks Children’s Community Theatre performs in local hospitals and libraries. Mentally and physically handicapped children have a whole new world in the new fully accessible playground Engineers Without Borders and From the Ground Up, Inc.—student organzations —are constructing. It isn’t just the children who benefit from the work of Duke students. The Durham Literacy Center is filled with student volunteers who work with residents of all ages to learn reading and writing. New immigrants can take ESL classes twice a week from 45 committed volunteers through the student-run and organized GANG. Dorms, groups and individuals volunteer at the Urban Ministries, serving food and smiles to hungry local residents. One student working at the Durham Food Bank is creating a program to address the cultural needs of new immigrants and reach a wider community. Hispanic residents can take CPR and First Aid classes in Spanish through the Duke Red Cross. Even elderly residents and abandoned pets benefit from Duke volunteers. The Adopt-a-Grandparent Club partners students with seniors in a nursing home near campus to provide love and companionship each week. Pet-I-Care students take care of homeless pets and help keep the Animal Protection Society of Durham running. I couldn’t begin to list the amazing work everyone is doing, and countless students volunteer without an organization. They care about Durham, see a need in the community and simply help—no recognition necessary. These organizations I’ve described are conceived, staffed and sustained by student initiative. This is the face of Duke University —and I could not be prouder to call it my school. David Fiocco is a Trinity sophomore. His column runs every other

The Blame Game

One

morning this past November, police found the body of an Appalachian State student in the trunk of an abandoned car. The student was one of my friends from ■ high school, and we had maintained our friendship into our freshman year at Apdiary of a palachian. Litertwo minutes ally after I had posted pictures of him on facebook.com that day, I got the call about his death. The news blind-sided me. In high school, he was on the swim team, he was an Eagle Scout, and he took AP classes. At Appalachian, he .started smoking and dealing pot. By the time sophomore year rolled around he was dealing cocaine, and by November one of his “clients” had decided to brutally murder my friend instead paying off his $3400 tab. And so the Blame Game -

mallory

began. Some students blamed it all on the conspicuous druggies at the school for creating a climate of corruption. Some blamed the administration, citing the murderer as a campus security guard with a criminal record. Some blamed it on the entire nation for harboring the demoralization of today’s youth —and some just claimed my friend brought it upon himself. One month a college student is beaten and burned in the trunk of a car until he dies. This month a college student cries rape and the media descends upon Duke University

like vultures—vultures whose diets consist solely of accusation and scandal. This must be nice for District Attorney Mike Nifong, a man who continues to publicly condemn the 2s lacrosse team, who will not accept the alterslightest ations to his assiduous allegations pickard and who is up for transfer re-election in one month. This delusional guy is the ringleader for people who do not actually care for the woman who alleged rape, but rather who care about turning an isolated account completely unrelated to them into a personal Blame Game. After the alleged incident, several students became vocal about the poor quality ofDuke’s treatment of women, minorities, and people in Durham. Duke is protecting the lacrosse team, some said, but failed to care about them because they were black and a female just like the alleged victim. Duke loves the rich students the most, others claimed. They are going to get off because they are white student-athletes, others decided. Is this affair not exacerbated enough without students suddenly speaking out and claiming personal victimization, the apparent torture and injustice to which Duke has exposed them? I realize most people are not victimizing themselves over these events, but the ones who are naturally decide to be the most vocal about it. I have several questions looming in my mind about these people, a major one

being, “Where can I find the

crystal ball you use to see what

actually happened that night?” And now it seems the Game is

descending upon a whole new level as rumors of drive-by shootings circulate through our e-mail inboxes—and as Nifong decides he is not going to reveal pertiDNA test results until “the trial,” a trial that does not exist since no one has been charged for these alleged crimes. Talent and intelligence are not prerequisites for pointing your finger at someone as the source of a problem. I watched it happen at Appalachian, and now I observe it here at Duke on a much larger scale. I read and hear disgustingly self-absorbed tales of the Duke administration ignoring people because they are women or they are black or poor or not athletes. I hear about “rich white guys” getting all the breaks, I listen to conspiracy theories, and I read e-mail from our vice president about potential drive-bys. My friend who was tortured to death in November was one of these rich white guys, and if you say “He asked for it,” then apply that same opinion to the woman who was allegedly raped. No one asks for it. No one allows for these things to happen except for the people who commit them. We must end this Blame Game, wait for the facts, hope for the best and strive together rather than further divide ourselves along artificial lines. Only then can we create a better community for Duke and Durham. nent
