A Durham Police Departofficer described the woman who claimed she was raped by members of the men’s lacrosse team as “passed-out drunk” the night of the March 13 party, according to newly released radio traffic recordings. The evidence was made public Thursday, the same day defense attorneys representing members of the team predicted that District Attorney Mike Nifong will ask a grand jury as soon as Monday to issue charges. The conversation in the radio traffic recordings occurred between the officer and a police dispatcher about five minutes after a security guard at a Kroger grocery store called the police to report that a woman in the parking lot would not get out of someone else’s car. The officer responding to the call gave the police code for an intoxicated person and said the alleged victim was unconscious. “She’s breathing and appears to be fine,” the officer said on the tape. “She’s not in distress. She’s just passed-out drunk.” The alleged victim, a black 27-year-old student at North Carolina Central University, said she was raped, choked and sodomized by three members ment

The taped conversation is the first time any government official involved in the investigation acknowledged that the woman was impaired the night of the incident. Officers did not mention her state in any of the released testimonies within search warrants, nor was any indication of her impaired state included in a description of the woman’s medical exam. The medical exam described the woman’s injuries and behavior as consistent with having been raped, sexually assaulted and having suffered a traumatic

PERSPECTIVES I FINANCIAL AID

Colleges seek WOJCIECHOWSKA

BY IZA THE CHRONICLE

It comes as no surprise thgit tuition and various fees at top-tier universities increase annually, hiking up the cost ofattendance. Many institutions across the nation are increasing their financial aid packages, making it more affordable for more students to get an education. Duke began its three-year Financial Aid Initiative this past December. Administrators said they hope the campaign will reach its goal of $3OO million, which would allow the University to continue to ensure meeting 100 percent of students’ demonstrated needs. The Initiative will allow a greater proportion of aid funding to come from an endowed source, rather than out of operational funds. The campaign falls in line with the recent pecuniary trend among other highly ranked universities.

increase aid packages

Last month, Harvard University moved cover all expected family contributions for students from households with an annual income of less than $60,000. This threshold was upped from $40,000—a policy implemented in 2004—allowing more students to benefit from the aid. Approximately 15 percent of Harvard undergraduates fall into this $60,000 “lowincome” category. “We hope that the critically important signal that this newly expanded program sends—that Harvard is open to talented students from all economic backgrounds—will increase public awareness of the accessibility of all of higher education,” Sally Donahue, director of financial aid at Harvard, wrote in an e-mail. Stanford University made a similar decision in March and eliminated the need for to

How universities figure out financial aid for low-income students: Harvard: If family makes less than $60,000 a year, full tuition paid. Yale and Stanford: If family makes less than $45,000 a year, full tuition paid. Princeton: Grants, not loans, for low income students. UNC-Chapel Hill: If family of four makes less than $37,000, no need to take loans. Rice: If family of four makes less than $30,000, no need to take loans. Duke, Brown, Dartmouth and Vandy: "Consensus approach," whereby the university looks at each student and creates appropriate financial aid packages.

Bush. Reid trade immigration barbs by David Espo THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush accused Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid on Thursday of “single-handedly thwarting” action on immigration legislation, and got a brisk retort in return. “President Bush has as much credibility on immigration as he does on Iraq and national security,” shot back the Nevada Democrat. The, exchange was the latest in a series of maneuvers among party leaders trying to assign blame for Senate gridlock over comprehensive immigration legislation.

A pending measure would strengthen border security, create a guest worker program and offer eventual citizenship to many of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country. Supporters claim the bill has more than enough votes to pass. It was sidetracked last week when Reid insisted on a procedure for voting on politically charged amendments that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., rejected. Bush and Reid swapped charges as Republicans disclosed a Spanish-language radio advertising campaign—scheduled to air in Mexico, Arizona and Nevada—de-

Internet sites poke fun at lax scandal

Students launch China site DukeChina.org targets internationalapplicants

Rob Copeland THE CHRONICLE

Performing a simple online search for “Duke” in the past few weeks naturally would have resulted in a litany of serious articles about the recent scandal surrounding the men’s lacrosse team. But there are a few more offbeat findings as well. A feature published April 6 in The Onion—a nationally distributed humor publication —“exposed” Duke’s equestrian team for being “engaged in acts of exotic sexual misconduct during the infamously out-of-control parties at the team’s offcampus bam.” An online gaming site was also taking wagers on how many DNA matches investigators would find, and there are several websites selling apparel both in favor of and condemning the lacrosse team. The Onion’s article was full of direct connections to the controversy regarding an alleged rape. In a reference to the widely publicized previous arrest record of some lacrosse players, The Onion noted that the equestrian riders have their own share of troubles. The University’s top-tier riding clubs are full of “privileged elites,” the article noted. “Duke teams also lead the nation, and organized horsemanship in general, in the sudden destruction of large livestock for unrecorded or sketchily documented reasons,” the article explained. It also described the equestrian team’s shindigs in great detail. “Everyone’s drinking, the lights in the stable go down, someone gets some saddle soap and a curry-comb,” the article read. “Pretty soon everyone’s bareback, they’re playing ‘strip dressage,’ [and] strange lathered-up fillies are prancing around.” SEE HUMOR ON PAGE 9

of racial tension and sexual assault are national concerns. “I don’t think it’s Duke University fostering that culture,” said senior Emily Aviki, president of the senior class. “It’s society.” In response, some said the University must hold itself to a higher standard in fostering values such as diversity. “The onus lies on the administration... to facilitate opportunities for interaction,” said junior Malik Burnett, incoming president of the Black Student Alliance. Burnett supported the implementation of a mandatory seminar on diversity for incoming first-year students, while

In an effort to enhance Duke’s reputation in China, Blue Devils have taken courting the Asian giant into their own hands. Last June, the Duke University Chinese Student and Scholar Association launched DukeChina.org in order to connect Chinese studentswithin the larger Duke community. The website also serves a broader goal of strengthening the University’s relationship with China. Since it was first launched, the site has accumulated over 100,000 hits, averaging 11,000 hits each month—with almost 30,000 hits in March alone. “I venture to say this website is the best website among all Chinese student associations in all U.S. universities,” said Xing Zong, president of DCSSA. “If Duke wants to promote its reputation, this website is definitely a great and huge source.” Zong, a third-year physics graduate student, and Wei Chen, a second-year physics graduate student, set up the student-run website to target current and prospective Chinese students, parents of Chinese students and administrators at Chinese institutions. “DukeChina.org is part of an iterative process through which Duke’s ties with China are growing,” said Gil Merkx, vice provost for international affairs. “It was made possible by those ties, but it also makes a real contribution to strengthening those ties.” Although the University does not

The primary use of the cameras will be document traffic in and out of buildings around campus and the recordings will only be accessed when needed, Graves explained. No cameras will be installed within residential buildings unless DUPD determines there is a legitimate need. In areas identified as high risk, however, active monitoring may be employed, Graves said. He was unable to identify specific areas that would fall under this category. Council President Jay Ganatra, a junior, said privacy is an important issue to be discussed. “I know [DUPD] won’t use it just to spy on kids, but any time there is constant monitoring everyone feels their privacy is being infringed on,” he said. to

AL QAEDA from page 2 months. Pakistani authorities havealso arrested more than 750 al Qaeda suspects, including top lieutenants of Osama bin Laden such as Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi Binalshibh, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed andAbu Farraj al-Libbi. According to a senior army official, Atwah was tracked down to the suspected al Qaeda hideout with information gleaned from militants detained during a recent military operation in the region. Atwah was a key supplier of “weapons, explosive material and other ammunition to terrorists who often target our forces in North and South Waziristan,” the official said on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorized to speak to the media. An intelligence official in Miran Shah, the main town in the volatile NorthWaziristan region, said Wednesday’s raid killed nine people—seven militants, including five nonPakistanis, and 2-year-old and 2-month-old brothers who lived in the house. Residents in Naghar Kalai said they heard at least one loud explosion followed by intense machine-gun fire focused on a house in which a group of men from “outside the village” had been staying. The building near an Islamic school was destroyed and three cars exploded. “There was a huge explosion, which we think was a missile attack, before the helicopters came and bombed the house,” village tribal elder Khan Wazir said. “When we came to the house there was dust and other people who were already trying to pull out bodies and sift through the rubble.” After the attack, a group of armed men surrounded the crumpled house to keep onlookers back before taking at least seven bodies away, Wazir said. “We had information about the presence of foreign militants,” Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, the top Pakistan army spokesman, said. “It was a sting operation and the target was knocked out.” Sultan said al Qaeda members are moving in small groups and mixing with locals in North Waziristan, which has witnessed a spike in militant activity in recent months, with almost daily attacks on Pakistani security forces in the area. “The people (behind the attacks) are certainly the al Qaeda people,” Sultan told Associated Press Television News. “They are the ones who are financing and they do have some local facilitators.” Pakistani security officials have previously said bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri and other top al Qaeda figures could be hiding in the Pakistan-Afghan border region. Some 80,000 Pakistani troops have been deployed along the Pakistani side of the border to catch al Qaeda and Taliban militants. recent

More than 30 students discuss racial tensions on campus Thursday, in tight of a recent rape allegation.

CRR from page 3 Aviki suggested instituting diversity training sessions for campus leaders only. Students identified diversity weekends for prospective first-years, cultural or race-based student groups and the greek system as debatable hindrances to promoting cross-cultural and cross-racial collaboration. Others said strained town-gown interaction is an equally important issue that recent events have brought to the forefront. “Duke-Durham relations are in a much worse state than racial relations on campus,” said junior Daniel Bowes, a Chronicle columnist. He pointed to students’ interaction with the housekeeping staff as a focal point of strain. Some said Duke students do not feel welcome in Durham, while others said the problem lies in Duke not opening its doors enough to the city. “We create a devil out of Durham that is just not accurate,” Li said. Participants discussed service work, personal interaction and economic support as three points of interface that

should be improved “Students are out there on a consistent basis [volunteering], you just don’t hear about it,” said junior Miho Kubagawa. “My work is undone when people party off campus and do despicable things, which is what is picked up by the media.” More than 30 participants—a mix of Duke students, including several Duke Student Government leaders, University administrators and students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill —attended the event. Junior Nelson Williams, co-president of CRR, said he was surprised by the low turnout.

The location of the event, which was publicized in an e-mail to the entire student body, had been changed to a larger venue in response to concerns about adequate space, he said. Some students said the low turnout was indicative of student apathy and remarked that those who often attend events like the dialogue are not the ones who need to be there. “It’s always the right conversation for the wrong people,” Burnett said.

A student-run website DukeChina.org targets prospective students and university officials in China.

Jerry Reiter, assistant professor of the practice of statistics and decision sciences and Trinity ’92, said a number of students voiced interest in a possible statistics major and “in the past had to take buses to Chapel Hill to gain accreditation [in statistics] through a degree.” A few students have modeled Program II majors in Statistics, Stangl and Reiter said. They also noted that Duke’s graduate program in statistics is regarded as “one of the best of its kind in the country.” An approved certificate program in Global Health will similarly address an area of growing interest among undergraduates interested in healthcare, public policy and

“Basketball is the spirit of Duke and a

language that can be understood universally,” Zong wrote in a letter introducing the site to the DCSSA general body. “People in China will understand that Duke is excellent in combining academia and athletics together.” DukeChina.org represents one prong in the University’s push for stronger DukeChina relations—an effort that met a setback in 2003 when the Chinese government blocked access to Duke’s homepage. Although the causes for the extended block—which was removed in January 2004—remain unknown, some administrators attribute the drop in the number of applicants from China for the fall semester 2004 to it. Many international students from China said they find DukeChina.org to be a useful mechanism for reaching out. “It’s a good opportunity for the organization to gauge the response of the University and the general public,” said sophomore Sophia Xia from Guangzhou, China.

increased attention from members of the administration, Zong said, adding that in a recent meeting with Merkx and Provost Peter Lange, Merkx expressed interest in sharing the website with the Board of Trustees. “This is a wonderful example of student initiative making a difference,” Merkx said. “They are giving potential students in China a real feel for what it is like to be a Chinese student at Duke.” The website—which is primarily in Chinese with supplementary English—features news and content regarding academics, sports, student life and famous alumni. In the section “Administration Interview,” Duke’s top brass discusses the University’s stance on the global stage, with an emphasis on China. Another series—“Blue Devils Forever” —features the people and tradition behind Duke basketball.

HUMOR from page 3 The Onion mock-quoted History Professor “Woodrow Peterson”—seemingly an allusion to a real Duke Professor Peter Wood, who specializes in Native American history and has been quoted in newspapers across the country for speaking about his experience with lacrosse players. “The Duke University community barely tolerated the systematic sexual abuse of two black women at the hands of its students,” the fictional Peterson said in The Onion. “If word got out that valuable horses had been treated that way, this place would explode.” Real-life Duke sophomore Lindsley Baker-Baum took offense at that last line; she said the publication “went a little far” by implying that Duke students value horses higher than black women. Still, that is what makes The Onion a fun read, she admitted. “It was a welcome relief in that it was a humorous take on the situation,” BakerBaum said. Beyond the equestrian article, other websites had their own Duke lacrosse features. Prior to the release of DNA results Monday, gamblers could put money on the the number of matches they expected investigators would find on wagerweb.com.

The chances ranged from even money for no matches to 75-to-l odds that DNA from all 46 lacrosse players that were tested would be found on the alleged victim. On cafepress.com, websurfers can buy t-shirts, tank tops, hats and thongs emblazoned with anti-pots-and-pans symbols. The products are in reference to a protest the morning ofMarch 26, when community members demonstrated in a “wake-up call” in the Trinity Park neighborhood where the site of the alleged incident is located. Protesters made noise with a variety of objects—including pots and pans. And on eßay.com—the web’s largest store—for $9.95 shoppers can purchase an electronic version of the Durham Police Department’s search warrant for the dorm room of Ryan McFadyen, a sophomore and lacrosse player who has since been suspended in the name of safety following the release of an inflammatory e-mail he sent. According to the seller, the document is “a matter [of] public record but not easily attainable.” The warrant for sale is five pages longer than other versions readily available online and in-print. The Durham Herald-Sun reported Wednesday that a shirt reading, “I was raped by Duke lacrosse” was also on sale on eßay.com, but the item was not available Thursday.

more, asked how much students will be involved in shaping the use of surveillance cameras.

Dean said student input will be consid-

ered but it may be difficult to manage because the student body changes every year. Budgetary concerns regarding installing cameras on campus were also raised. DUPD representatives were unable to give an estimated cost of the project, as no changes have been planned. Graves, however, said a total of $l2 million was spent when a similar project was initiated at the University of Southern California. “It is more than just buying a camera we have to consider all the peripheral things that will go and support that,” he said, citing increased staffing and maintenance as examples. Possible camera vandalism may increase costs for the project, Ganatra said. “My biggest concern is that it will turn into a black hole of money,” he said. “Students may see these things, think, ‘Big Brother is watching me,’ and wreck them.” Graves said an in-depth cost-benefit

The issue discussed is very important to Campus Council, Ganatra said, noting much more discussion is needed before any changes are made. “A lot of things need to be worked out before we can even consider cameras,” he said. “The cost will be enormous—I don’t want to put a price on security but I don’t know how effective they’re going to be.” In other business: Sophomore Hasnain Zaidi was appointed to be next year’s facilities and services chair Monday, completing the 2006-2007 Executive Board.

From staff reports Adding to a long and growing list of postseason awards, JJ. Redick received the James E. Sullivan Memorial Award, given annually to the nation’s top amateur athlete by the Amateur Athletic Union, at a banquet in New York Wednesday night. With the win, Redick becomes the first men’s basketball player to take home the prestigious award since Bill Walton won in 1973. He beat out stiff competition in Texas quarterback Vince Young, and 2005 World Cup Champion skiier Bode Miller. “I’m thinking to myself I really don’t belong in their company,” Redick said. “They win world championships and all I do is score.” The announcement of the Sullivan Award comes less than a week after Redick was recognized as the nation’s best basketball player with the John R. Wooden Award. The senior had previously garnered several other player of the year awards, including the Associated Press, Naismith, Rupp, Robertson and NABC. The Sullivan Award, which dates back further than the Heisman Trophy, has been won in the past by the likes of Peyton Manning, Michelle Kwan, Carl Lewis, Florence GriffithJoyner and Michael Johnson. Redick is the third men’s basketball player to win, along with Walton and Princeton star and former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley.

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

Liz Janangelo has been raking in awards and accomplishing goals her entire golf career, but none of her previous accolades could have prepared her for a matchup with Michael Jordan. Since starting to swing a club at the age of three, Janangelo, now a senior, has become a dominant force in the world of women’s junior, amateur and col-

legiate golf. Last week, however, Janangelo was faced with an unexpected challenge. Playing a practice round at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club, Janangelo and two teammates discovered the basketball superstar was in a twosome behind them. Janangelo, the Blue Devils’ captain, offered to let Jordan pass by the team, but after some

lighthearted conversation she agreed to a challenge from the NBA legend. “He was playing behind us, and we were going to let him play through since we weren’t moving too fast,” she said. “We ended up

in a best-ball match-play round with Jordan and his partner. It was unreal. We had to keep pinching each other to make sure we weren’t dreaming.” Just like she has so many times in her golf career, Janangelo, along with teammates Amanda Blumenherst and Anna Grzebien, won. The trio knocked offjordan, 4-up. It was not just a win that Janangelo came away with, however.

DURHAM BULLS

Upton, Young headline talented Bulls'roster by

Andrew Davis

THE CHRONICLE

For one final time in Durham, the spotevent will be on JJ. Redick. But this time, he will be holding a baseball instead of a basketball. The Blue Devils’ all-time leading scorer will throw out the first pitch at Durham Bulls Athletic Park tonight when the Bulls season (7-1) take on the Toledo preview Mud Hens (3-5) in their home opener at 7 p.m. “Redick had a tremendous career at Duke,” Durham Bulls General Manager Mike Biding said. “We’re glad he’ll give the fans in the Triangle one last opportunity to give him a public congratulation.” The Bulls, the Triple-A minor league affiliate of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, start the year with a new manager, John Tamargo, and two of the top players in the minor leagues, outfielder Delmon Young and shortstop BJ. Upton. Tamargo is just the second manager in the history of the Triple-A Bulls, who were previously a Single-A squad. The new skipper has more than three decades of major and minor league experience. After short stints in the major leagues from 1976-1980, Tamargo has left his mark as a minor league manager with a 912-859 overall record and a Triple-A World Series Championship with New Orleans in 1998. Tamargo will have plenty to work with to begin the season. Delmon Young, the brother of all-star outfielder and current Detroit Tiger Dmitri Young, was the first player taken in

light at a sporting

the June 2003 draft. He has quickly worked his way up through the minor leagues and was named 2005 Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America. “He’s got five tools,” Tamargo said. “Delmon can hit for average, he throws well, he hits with great power, he’s a good defensive player and he’s got good speed. He’s one of the best players in the minor leagues.” Upton, Baseball America’s No. 1 overall prospect in 2004, is an immense baseball talent who has not yet been able to maximize his abilities. Last season he was the Durham Bulls’ Player of the Year as he topped all Devil Rays’ minor leaguers with 98 runs, 36 doubles, 60 extra-base hits and 165 hits. Despite his prowess at the plate, however, Upton led all minor leaguers with 53 errors, which has kept him from breaking through to the majors. He was brought up to the Devil Rays in August 2004—becoming the youngest player in the major leagues at the time—but was sent back down to work on his fielding problems. “He’s worked really hard all spring on his defense,” Tamargo said. “He has played well, and he is conscious of his defensive troubles.” To complement the organization’s two top-notch hitting prospects, Durham boasts a pitching staff that includes reliever Chad Orvella. The 2005 Tampa Bay Minor League Pitcher of the Year played much of last season with the Devil Rays and compiled a 3-3 record with a 3.60 ERA in 37 games. The Bulls have already had a couple call-ups in the first two weeks of the season. TOM

Coming off one of the team’s best-hitting games of the season, the Blue Devils hope to keep their momentum going this weekend as they wrap up a seven-game homestand with a three-game set against Wake Forest. Duke (12-26, 4-11 in the ACC), led by Freiman’s careerhigh five RBIs, demolished Davidson’s pitching VS.

Saturday and Sunday’s games are both scheduled for 1 p.m. to conclude the series. Freiman’s return to the lineup after an injury has helped spark the Blue Devils’ offense of late. The freshman, who before the injury was expected to pitch, has played in only 11 ofDuke’s 38 games. In limited time, Freiman is batting a team-high .381 with a slugging percentage of .714. Against Davidson Wednesday, he went 4-for-5 as he drove in nearly half of the Blue Devils’ runs. Freiman was not the only Blue Devil who hit well as shortstop Brett Bartles went 3-for-5 with three RBIs and Duke batted .405 as a team in the game.

LEAH BUESO/THE CHRONICLE

Duke's pitchers have a combined ERA of 6.63 in the team's 26 losses, highest in the conference. “It’s great to see the offense get it cranked up,” McNally said. Duke’s timely hitting was a departure from what has been the case most of the season. Before last weekend, the Blue Devils were hitting, but not stringing hits together at clutch times to drive in the needed runs. In last weekend’s series against No. 18

Virginia, the Blue Devils scored a total of 10 runs off of 23 hits. Against Davidson, Duke continued to be even more efficient, hammering out 11 runs off a team total of 15 hits. The outcome against Davidson was unusual for Duke, which often struggles in its mid-week games. Of the 14 games the Blue Devils have played midweek this sea-

game against Virginia, in which Duke defeated the Cavaliers, 4-3. The Blue Devils pulled ahead for their first win over a ranked team in two seasons with a walk-off single by third-baseman Adam Murray in the bottom of the ninth. “We’ll be playing a night game with similar conditions,” McNally said. “Our guys should really be riding high, feeling good, and ready to compete on Friday.” After a week in Durham, Duke’s three games against Wake Forest will be its last ACC home weekend series until North Carolina visits April 28. McNally said Duke plans to start righthanded junior Danny Otero on the mound for Friday evening’s game. Otero (5-2) has put up impressive numbers as the Blue Devils’ ace, leading the team in wins and strikeouts. With a team low 1.35 ERA and 41 strikeouts, Otero holds opposing hitters to a .226 average at the plate this season. “We’ve got Danny Otero on the mound Friday night and he’s pitched very well all year for us,” McNally said.

JANANGELO from page 11 teammates, Janangelo said that Jordan’s advice and competitive drive will stick with her as she moves on to the professional level after this season. “He’s the greatest basketball player that’s ever lived, and while we’re joking and trash talking with him a bit, we really learned so much from him,” Janangelo said. “He told us that it doesn’t matter whether you’re on the hardwood or the golf course, if you think well mentally, you will be successful.” Throughout her career, Janangelo has been plenty successful. The West Hartford, Conn, native, finished her prep career at Conard High School with eight titles on the junior circuit. She also received the 2001 Golfweek Player of the Year Award. Janangelo arrived at Duke the fall after the team had won its second NCAA Championship in 2001, and she made her presence known immediately. In just her third collegiate event, the then-freshman took the individual crown at the Tar Heel Invitational. She went on to win one more event that season before exploding in her sophomore year and capturing four titles. Janangelo finished her sophomore season with a school-record 71.1 scoring average, and she was named the 2004 National GolfCoaches Association Player of theYear. In her junior campaign, she did not have the personal success she enjoyed her first two years as a Blue Devil, but Janangelo still tallied nine top-10 finishes and was a major reason Duke took home its third NCAA Championship. “Sophomore year was great, so many individual goals got accomplished, and I showed myself a lot,” Janangelo said. “Then to have a junior year where my team was so unstoppable was great.” This season, Janangelo notched her .

Duke awaits decisions from Mcßoberts, Thomas After the announcement that freshman center Eric Boateng will transfer, the Blue Devils’ front court picture still remains unclear. Freshman forward Josh Mcßoberts, who started all of Duke’s postseason games, is reportedly thinking about a potential jump to the NBA. He said after Duke’s loss to LSU in the Sweet 16 that he planned to return, but NBA scouts have pinned him as a likely lottery pick. Underclassmen have until April 29 to declare themselves eligible for the June 28 NBA Draft, and they can remove their names until June 18 should they not hire an agent. rated by scout.com High school senior Lance Thomas, as the seventh best power forward in the nation, has yet to announce his college plans. Thomas said this spring he was choosing between offers from Duke and Rutgers. Speaking on his behalf, Thomas’ uncle told newspapers this week that a decision could be delayed until May.

Men’s tennis set to face 2 ACC foes Coming off a thrilling 4-3 victory Wednesday over No. 12 North Carolina, No. 6 Duke will conclude its regular season slate with matches this weekend against Virginia and Virginia Tech. Both matches will be held at home in Ambler Tennis Stadium. The Blue Devils (16-5, 8-1 in the ACC) play the Hokies (12-12, 3-6) at 2:30 p.m. Friday. Duke has never lost to Virginia Tech in men’s tennis in 17 matches between the two programs. The Hokies enter Friday having lost six straight. The Cavaliers (18-8, 8-1) will visit Durham for a 1 p.m. match Sunday that could determine the winner of the conference. Duke can clinch the conference crown outright by winning both of its weekend matchups. Virginia and Duke are tied for first place at 8-1 with Miami one game back at 7-2 in league play. Miami is the only team in the conference to have beaten Virginia this season.

behavior. While it is understandable that the University wants to respond to the eight alcoholrelated ER visits made last year, it is not like LDOC is unique in being an event where students end up being taken to the hospital for excessive drinking. Students imbibe in excess just about any weekend, and all the time at other events such as those sponsored by sororities and fraternities. Taken in consideration with last fall’s restrictions on tailgating, and the recent purchase of houses off East Campus, it seems like there are increasingly fewer oppor-

tunities to have large, fun social gatherings. The University is being a killjoy, spoiling students’ fun. It is taking everything that is awesome about Duke and squashing it. Perhaps, one day, only Kville will be left. And, K-ville isn’t even really that fun. It’s just a sub-freezing, muddy

shantytown.

In contrast, LDOC is a chance to revel outdoors on a warm, sunny spring day after the stress of classes has ended, but before the stress of finals has setded in. Sue Wasiolek, dean of students and assistant vice president of student affairs, says that the goals of LDOC include having fun and celebrating the end of the school

year. If so, drinking Gatorade on the quad and listening to a capella just aren’t going to cut it. Given that the LDOC committee is still negotiating with officials on whether students can barbeque using their own equipment, it is even unclear what students are supposed to do ifthey just want to grill and not drink. Additionally, the absence of barbequing would fundamentally change the character of this large event, which takes place outdoors on a grassy green quad in warm, beautiful weather. In sum, the new regulations are a disappointing blow to what makes student life enjoyable at Duke.

will not make any real positive change in student drinking

Would

you vote for Jesse Longoria again? Given the choice, would you have returned the same officers to the DSG executive board? How about your senators? Have they earned the spot you gave them? In the early stages of the DSG election season, I heard from almost every candidate as they vied for the endorsement of the College Republicans and the Duke Political Union. As the candidates one by one gave their three-minute spiels, certain patterns emerged from the rhetoric. I think I heard the words “reform” and “accountability” most ofall. Generally, those are words I like DSG is certainly in need of reform in many ways. Even a cursory glance at the organization shows it to be all but defunct. No■■ OllVCf SheTOUSC body knows what, if anything, our stuyou tell me dent government is up to Here’s a quick quiz: What were DSG’s top three priorities for the last year? If you can’t answer, don’t feel bad because you’re not alone. If they didn’t control the purse strings of nearly all student groups, the sole official representative body of students would have long faded into obscurity. Obviously, reform is something we should be going for. Accountability is a nice thought, too. If you ever look at the DSG website, dsg.duke.edu, you’ll notice that the only useful information anywhere on the main page tells you how to run for something. To be sure, there’s a “recent news” section, but if you look closely, you’ll notice the most “recent” entry is dated September of last year. Now, to be fair, many of the incoming officers have noticed these same issues and resolved to do something about them. One suggestion I’ve heard is an oversight committee to keep senators on task. As an openly declared conservative and hater of big government, I’m all too happy to point out the flaw in this idea: you can’t trust an inefficient government to watch over itself. The malaise of the general body could easily spread to any such committee, meanwhile rewarding another round of slackers with resume padding.

Another idea to hold senators accountable is an online voting record, where students can check to see where their senators stood on various issues. Now, that’s all well and good: transparency is always preferable, and I’m a bit surprised that such a system hasn’t been put in place already. The problem is, even if a senator’s record infuriates his or her constituency (though it’s hard to imagine such a record) the students would have no recourse. It’s a step in the right direction, but it’s not true accountability. So what’s the best way for us to hold DSG accountable? I think we first need to look at the position of senator itself. In all honesty, Duke isn’t so large as to require actual representative democracy. There is, however, a need for a bureaucracy to oversee the day-to-day dealings of the organization, as well as to specialize in different areas of DSG involvement. So what’s the solution? First, we declare every single student a full voting senator in DSG. Second, we elect committeemen (I would say committeepersons, but I refuse to) to serve under the various executive officers. I believe that this arrangement would have several beneficial effects. First, those who attend and vote at DSG meetings would be only those truly interested in the goings on of the student government, not resume stuffers. Second, genuinely concerned students would no longer be kept out of office simply because they were unable to come up with the catchy slogan or Photo Shopped picture necessary to win an election. Finally, controversial issues, should they arise, would motivate students to involve themselves actively, rather than just rhetorically. My second proposed reform is just as unusual, but also just as effective; hold a second election at the end of the first semester. Now, I hate staring at these dumb campaign flyers as much as you do, but think about how things might have turned out differently if our slate of officers knew they could been shipped out with 2005. The big difference with these set of elections is that the board would have to justify holding on to the positions they already have, meaning they’d need some sort of record to stand on. That’s what true accountability looks like. Would you vote for Jesse Longoria again? Up to you. But wouldn’t it would be nice to have the choice? Oliver Sherouse is a Trinity freshman.

And in the absence of more deboston cote finitive, the naked truth new information, the public continues to resort to and rely on skepticism and speculation. Given all the unanswered questions that remain, I, for one, am not prepared to let the investigation come to a close just yet. While I am ashamed to align myself in any way with District Attorney Mike Nifong, I too am not yet satisfied with ending the investigation now. If there is indeed remaining credible evidence that the unidentified North Carolina Central student and mother of two was victimized on the night in question, I implore the mighty powers-that-be to let the investigation go on. If she was sexually assaulted, find the perpetrator[s]. If she was beaten, find her

abuser [s]. If she was maltreated because of her gender, profession, or color of her skin, find and prosecute every single individual responsible. But just look at all those “ifs.” The hope of finding answers to those indefinite “ifs” is becoming more improbable because of the stupid, stubborn obstinacy of those in charge of the investigation. Investigators and the general public, both locally and nationally, formulated their opinions from the very onset and are now trying to make the facts fit their formed opinions instead of letting their opinions be formed by the facts. The accuser claims that three men, not 47, assaulted her. Despite absolutely no DNA connection, the investigation continues to focus on the Duke lacrosse team as a whole—but rumor has it that there are more white men in the Duke-Durham community than the 46. According to Nifong’s faulty logic there have been rape cases for hundreds of years without there being any DNA. Don’t be stupid, Mike. There was always DNA, investigators just couldn’t test for it at the time. In this instance, defense lawyers have said the North Carolina State Bureau ofInvestigation tested for latex residue and DNA, and returned no match between any samples given by the players on the team.

Neighbors have the wrong justification I am both appalled and saddened by an anonymous and cowardly quote in the April 11 article, “Community questions if case is closed.” The Durham resident who refused to give her name said, “The neighborhood would like to see something—one or more found guilty.” This quote is astonishing for a couple reasons mostly because she is indicating that she hopes a rape did occur. The fact that the neighborhood is holding its breath for charges and a guilty verdict means they want this woman to have experienced a rape just so the men who were once her neighbors will be punished. I think they have been punished enough, and unlike the person who made this statement, they have not been able to remain anonymous. Even if no charges are filed, these men’s lives have been changed forever. No one should ever wish a rape on anyone, which is what this Durham resident has done. We would all be better off if this was just a story the accuser began to tell that spun out of her control. For her sake, let’s hope that is the case. That would be a hundred times better than if she actually went through such a horrible thing as a rape. Evan Shoop Trinity ’O6

the 21st century’s Quentin Compson, stuck in a past I never experienced, a past I will never escape. For us, love is a Bob Dylan song. War is a Marvin Gaye song. Home is a Talking Heads song. Death is a Charles Bukowski poem. And me, I’m a character in a book by William Faulkner. Now I sound like Robin Williams lecturing Matt Damon about how he’s just a kid. They call us the Boomerang Generation because so many of us graduate college, go out into the workforce, and quickly become disillusioned and go 'amme home to our parents. TP They say it is because our expectations are mm too high, that we have believed for too long that we will be CEOs and rock stars. everson I think the truth is that we have been one fine morning

Editorial board change is all good As a former desk editor and current editorial board member at The Daily Tar Heel who is living at Duke this semester, I rarely praise The Chronicle. In fact, I often toss it away in disgust after finding a few too many style errors or reading yet another worthless column. I disclose that information not to be snide but instead to emphasize the lengths to which The Chronicle must go to overcome my bias and earn my praise. Yet earn my praise it has. I applaud The Chronicle’s decision to make the editorial board independent from the news side of the paper. Just as there must be a wall between news and business at any reputable paper, so too there must be a wall between ’news and opinion. Having news editors on a paper’s editorial board allows for the board to form quick and informed opinions, but making news editors’ views public destroys the integrity of the paper’s news coverage. Thank you for showing that the separation of news from opinion remains a worthy ideal toward which to strive. Scott Spillman UNC/Trinity ’OB

and hearing music that promised us an end—that eventually we will arrive at our destinationand the credits will roll. We cannot escape the vision of life that art has given us. We suffer the same fate as Generation X; we are overshadowed by the largest, if not the greatest generation, and we can’t compete. The baby boomers were the.generation of free love, of going to the moon, ofBob Dylan and John Lennon. They brought us into the computer age and gave us movies, television and art that have endured. Yet all of that art does not belong to me or my generation. Tom Cruise told me about Otis Redding in Top Gun. I can never think of “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” without thinking of Maverick talking about his mom. And I can never sit on a dock or a pier without thinking of Otis Redding. But it isn’t mine; it’s not even Cruise’s music. It is the music of the generation with the longest shadow. The last few years in music have been the least creative in history, as each artist looks to the past to revive punk or garage or hair metal or soul. Even hip-hop has seen an increased reliance on past music, as samples have come

more and more to the forefront. No one is creating anything new. New artists grow up in the shadow of the greats, but even these so called immortals are fading, their mottos becoming cliches. But it’s not just music. All of our movies are regurgitations of past art or the work of artists from past generations. Our great epics are Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings, but these were the greater epics of the 60s. Even Harry Potter is a simple amalgam of Roald Dahl and J.R.R. Tolkien. We are only an echo of the past. The Boomerang Generation is the result of media that has destroyed our imagination. I have no doubt that my generation has spent more time trying to escape reality than any generation before it. And it is a dangerous escape: one that requires no imagination. In every book, the hero changes shape depending on the reader—becomes who the reader wants him to be. The hero in every movie is the man on the screen. There is no more need to fill in the vision on the page. It has been ripped from the page and slapped on a screen and we never learned to perform that translation in our minds. That same media have convinced us of the loss of a golden age—that once a voice spoke for an entire generation. My father was 19 when Highway 61 Revisited arrived, but Bob Dylan never spoke for him. My mother was 21 when “Imagine” arrived, but John Lennon never spoke for her. The time of one unified voice speaking for a generation never existed, but a lifetime of images have convinced me otherwise. And now I realize that I have nothing to say. And that is my greatest fear: that a lifetime of pre-imagined media have destroyed the ability of our generation to create un-

regurgitated art. And perhaps I am being too harsh, and the fact is we will never live up to the baby boomers, never go to the moon or Mars and must accept thaj. But as fearful as I am for my generation, I love the

music, movies and television that have made us. I do not hate any of it. I don’t! I don’t hate it! I don’t hate it!
