Next week’s planned hearing on the lacrosse case has been postponed until May, defense attorneys announced Tuesday after meeting with the special prosecutors that have taken over the case. The two new prosecutors, appointed earlier this month by North Carolina State Attorney General Roy Cooper to replace Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong, will use the additional time to investigate further charges of sexual Roy Cooper offense and kidnapping against three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team. Rape charges against the three players were dropped in December. “We will use this time to continue reviewing the case files, talking to the many people involved in the case and making sure that all discovery requests have been responded to properly,” Cooper said in a

The hearing is now planned for May 7, more than three months after the initial Feb. 5 date at which the alleged victim was expected to appear. Jim Cooney, a defense attorney for indicted player Reade Seligmann, said he was not SEE LAX HEARING ON PAGE 5

In his first public appearance since the Flame Affair trial began Jan. 16, Ambassador Joe Wilson spoke about foreign affairs and the ongoing trial to Duke students and Durham residents in Page Auditorium Tuesday night. The retired diplomat of the United States Foreign Service—and the husband ofValerie Flame, whose identity as a CIA agent was leaked to reporters related his history and role in the U.S. government, including the background on the trial. Wilson also encouraged his listeners to engage the government as re—

sponsible citizens. ‘You have the right and the individ-

More than a week after Princeton University announced it would freeze tuitionfor the first time in four decades, Duke officials said it is unlikely that the University will follow suit. Last Monday, Princeton said tuition would remain at $33,000 for the 2007-2008 academic year. Some have speculated that the move could influence other colleges as well. The decision to freeze tuition is not a common occurrence, and Princeton’s announcement marks only the second time in seven years that a highly visible university has done so.

In a rare departure from the traditional selection process, four—not three—candidates were chosen as finalists for the undergraduate Young Trustee, the nominating committee announced Tuesday night. Seniors Ben Abram, Chrissie Gorman, David Snider and Jimmy Soni were selected from the eight semifinalists chosen last week. Sophomore Jordan Giordano, chair of the nominating committee and Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction, said an additional finalist was chosen because committee members were unable to choose three candidates by a three-fourths majority vote —a requirement under the Young Trustee bylaws. “This has not happened in recent history,” Giordano said. “The quality of candidates was very high.” Giordano said the unusual decision could in part be attributed to the number of applicants, which was higher than in recent years. Sixteen students applied to be the 2007 undergraduate Young Trustee, compared to 11 in last year’s process, he said.

Reporter contradicts Libby

Senate discusses use of war powers by

Laurie Kellman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A Senate Republican Tuesday directly challenged President George W. Bush’s declaration that “I am the decision-maker” on issues of war. “I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider,” Sen. Aden Specter, R-Pa., said during a hearing on Congress’ war powers. “The decider is a shared and joint responsibility.” The question ofwhether to use its power to force an end to the war in Iraq, and under what conditions, is among the issues faced by the newly empowered Democratic majority in Congress, and even some of the

president’s political allies as well. No one challenges the notion that Congress can stop a war by canceling its funding. In fact, Vice President Dick Cheney challenged Congress to back up its objections to Bush’s plan to put 21,500 more troops in Iraq by zeroing out the war budget. Underlying Cheney’s gambit is the consensus understanding that such a drastic move is doubtful because it would be fraught with political peril. But there are other legislative options to force the war’s end, say majority Democrats and some of Bush’s traditional Republican allies. The alternatives range from capping

the number of troops permitted in Iraq to cutting off funding for troop deployments

beyond a certain date or setting an end date for the war. “The Constitution makes Congress a coequal branch of government. It’s time we start acting like it,” said Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis. He is also pushing legislation to end the war by eventually prohibiting funding for the deployment of troops to Iraq. His proposal, like many others designed to force an end to U.S. involvement in the bloody conflict, is far from having enough support even to come up for a vote on the Senate floor.

13 killed on Shiites' holiest day by

Kim Gamel

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq At least 13 people were killed Tuesday after a bomb left in a garbage can struck Shiites during ceremonies marking Ashoura in a town near the Iranian border, police said. At least 39 were wounded. About an hour later, a suicide bomber blew himself up near the entrance of a Shiite mosque in Mandali, a predominantly Shiite city also near the Iranian border. The explosion that killed 13 hit as scores of Shiites were gathered in downtown Khanaqin performing rituals on the

holiest day on the Shiite Islamic calendar, a commemoration of the 7th-century death of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The major religious festival culminates on Tuesday. Police Maj. Idriss Mohammed said at least 13 people were killed and 39 were wounded, adding that most of the victims were Shiite Kurds. Most Kurds are Sunni, but a minority are Shiite. Khanaqin is 87 miles northeast of Baghdad close to the Iranian border. Meanwhile, the Iraqi army said it killed

the leader of the heavily armed cult during a fierce gunbattle on Monday aimed at foiling an attack on leading Shiite clerics and pilgrims in the city of Najaf who were celebrating Ashoura. Senior Iraqi security officers said three gunmen of “the Soldiers of Heaven” cult were captured in Najaf after renting a hotel room in front of the office of Iraq’s most senior Shiite spiritual leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, with plans to attack it. The 24-hour battle was ultimately won by Iraqi troops supported by U.S. and British jets and American ground forces.

Reporter Judith Miller testified Tuesday that former Vice Presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby identified a CIA operative to her on two occasions on dates earlier than he has told investigators he first heard the information from another reporter.

Econ majors get early look at business world by

THE CHRONICLE

Students majoring in economics can now

work on independent study projects sponsored by major financial companies, and early indications show enthusiasm on both sides

foe the programs. Four students major-

ing in economics are cur-

rently enrolled in sponsored independent studies this semester. Two students are working on an option-pricing program backed by Bank of America and two others are analyzing real-world mortgage data supplied by hazard Asset Management. Both programs premiered this semester, and Emma Rasiel, director of undergraduate studies and assistant professor of

the practice in economics, said she hopes the program will continue in the future. “If there are projects out there and the banks know they can come to Duke and get them overseen by a faculty member who has experience, then there may be many more of these to come,” Rasiel said. Rasiel, a former executive director at Goldman Sachs, will grade students at the end of the semester. Grades will be based on students’ performances, the quality of the models and conclusions they provide and the content of presentations they make to the firms at the end of the semester. Students are not being compensated for their work, hazard and Bank of America funds will go to the economics department. Rasiel said she worked with the Global Capital Markets Center at the Fuqua School of Business to provide opportunities for

As many juniors adjust to life back at Duke after spending last semester abroad, others must also become accustomed to unexpected—and in some cases, less-than-ideal—living situations. A lack of on-campus housing options put several juniors in a frenzy as they prepared for their return to campus. In November, Residence Life and Housing Services notified returning juniors by e-mail that approximately onethird of those who applied for on-campus housing would not be able to live with their preferred roommates. “This problem is not going to get any better until Central Campus renovations happen,” said Campus Council President Jay Ganatra, a senior. “It will at least be around for the next two or three years.” Due to a large sophomore class occupying most of the rooms on West Cam-

pus, of the 117 preferred returning pairs, RLHS could accommodate only 75, leaving the remaining 42 pairs to find off-campus housing or to risk being split up. Even with limited space on campus, 14 students who entered an off-campus lottery in November were waitlisted and did not receive permission to move off campus until later that month. held a second off-campus lotto allow students to find their own tery

The share of women 40 and older who said they had a mammogram in the previous two years slipped from 76.4 percent to 74.6 percent between 2000 and 2005, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study. Possible explanations for the drop include a shortage of mammography screening centers and specialists, a lack of health insurance among patients, researchers said.

the strong performance of the university’s increased donations and the added monetary boost alumni from of a larger student body. “I would be very surprised to see others follow Princeton’s lead,” said Duke’s Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. “Their per-student endowment is so large that it provides them with more flexibility than almost every other major university.” Provost Peter Lange said that although Duke’s |4.5-billion endowment could support a tuition freeze, it would detract from other important endeavors. “Obviously we could do it, but it comes at a very significant cost,” Lange said. “It would mean that we would have substantially less money to pour into programs that make Duke a better place.” During the past 10 years, Princeton’s tuition increases have been the lowest out of any top-10 school, even though it spends more of its $l3-billion endowment per student than any other university nationwide. “Princeton’s financial-aid budget is more heavily funded by endowment than any other similar institution,” Christoph Guttentag, Duke’s dean of undergraduate admissions, wrote in an e-mail. “I think it’s unlikely that many other universities will follow suit.” Guttentag added that Princeton’s announcement came without a major precedent and is unrealistic for many universities who have smaller endowments. “There hasn’t been much talk about [tuition freezes] before the Princeton announcement,” he said. Tm not sure what the effect nationally will be.” Though Princeton will hold tuition constant for the next year, the university will raise the costs of room and board 19 percent to $10,980. Including these addi-

financial investments,

tional costs, the full price of attendance will increase 4.2 percent to $43,980. “There’s something slightly disingenuous about the way they presented* this,” Lange said. “This is more a PR move than a realistic financial move.... Everyone caught on pretty quickly.” But even with Princeton’s hefty price tag, the university remains one of the most financially generous institutions in the United States—ss percent of Princeton’s freshman class receives financial aid. Guttentag said Duke’s current Financial Aid Initiative directly focuses on making the University more affordable and accessible for the students that most need it. “We’re looking forward to the financial foundation the Initiative will provide to our overall efforts in making this university within everyone’s capabilities,” he said. “The Financial Aid Office has also worked hard to make sure that aid awards are appropriate for people from many different financial circumstances.” Recently, Congress has criticized colleges for tuition increases that have exceeded the rate of inflation. According to the College Board’s 2006 Report on College Price and Financial Aid, the average tuition increased 5.9 percent last year to $22,218. The 2006-2007 tuition at Duke is $34,202, and the estimated cost of attendance for the Class of 2010 is $46,050. In the past, other colleges have experimented with tuition freezes. In 2000, Williams College froze the overall price of attendance at $31,520. The freeze has since been retracted—the tuition this year is $33,478. “I think students look at the total cost of attending a college, rather than the specific difference between tuition and other costs, such as room and board,” Guttentag said. “It’s why a robust financial aid effort is so important.” Adam Eaglin contributed to this article.

surprised by the delay. “The two special prosecutors just got six boxes of stuff about a week ag0.... I want to give them a chance to read up on the file and to make a good-faith effort to read what they need to read and to interview the witnesses,” Cooney said, adding that there is a significant chance the prosecution will decide to drop the charges before May. Joe Cheshire, an attorney for David Evans, Trinity ’O6, told the Associated Press he anticipated more meetings between the defense team and the attorney general’s staff. “We are very hopeful about this case, and where it stands, and where it will go, and at least we know that it will be dealt with professionally,” Cheshire said. Duke law professor James Coleman, a frequent commentator on the case, cautioned against reading too far into the postponement. “The way I read this story, this is simply an interim deadlineand it could be moved up or moved back depending on the progress made,” Coleman said.

He added that the delay indicates the new prosecutor is willing to look at the case from all angles. “The lawyers on both sides appear to be interested in what the facts are and whether there is any basis for criminal charges,” Coleman said. “If you recall, Nifong refused to look at any of the evidence from the defense and indicted a guy without looking at his alibi.” Although some delay is inevitable when lawyers get involved with a case, the length of the postponement comes as surprise, said Duke law professor Thomas Metzloff. “There are a lot of judges I know who would have given them a month, but not three months—it’s a long extension,” Metzloff said. “There are certain speedy trial rights that don’t seem to have been implemented in this case.” Metzloff speculated that the judge would like to see the glare of the national media fade by May, but Cooney said he is not optimistic. “If those hearings happen on May 7,1 think it will be the typical feeding frenzy that we’ve seen,” Cooney said.

Joe Wilson called his decision to pen an op-ed criticizing pre-war intelligence an "act of good citizenship."

WILSON from page 1 Iraq’s possible attempts to purchase uranium yellowcake from Niger. He claimed that no such purchase was being made.

“It was not an act of great moral courage. It was not an act of political dissent. It was an act of good citizenship,” Wilson said, of his choice to write the July 6, 2003 op-ed, “What I Didn’t Find in Africa.” His wife’s position as a CIA operative was exposed as a direct result of this publication, Wilson said. He asked the audience if anyone present knew who placed the statement in the 2003 State of the Union Address that Iraq was believed to have acquired uranium from Africa. Wilson then asked the audience if there was anyone in attendance who did not know the name ofhis wife. No hands were raised in response to either question. “[U.S. citizenry] knows the name of a covert CIA officer for one reason and one reason only—that she happens to be my wife,” he said.

Former vice-presidential aide Scooter Libby is currently on trial for leaking

Flame’s identity to columnist Bob Novak. “The wheels of justice grind slowly, but they will grind very, very finely,” Wilson said of the trial. He repeatedly urged members of the audience not to be intimidated by the government and to take responsibility in holding the government to the truth, as he did in his op-ed. Duke University Union Major Speakers and the Duke Political Union co-sponsored the talk. Major Speakers Chair Isel Del Valle, a junior, said she came across Wilson’s name and decided the current national attention on the ambassador would draw a crowd. “I am pleased with the turnout,” she said. Sophomore Chris Jones said Wilson made several points he thinks many American citizens and politicians do not often consider.

speech. “A lot of people just go with the flow rather than asking why,” he said.

He said the University, with its intellectual talent and close proximity to the company’s Charlotte headquarters, is one ofhis company’s top recruiting schools. “We hope this is the beginning of many projects we’re going to do with Dr. Rasiel and Bank ofAmerica,” Prager added.

Rasiel said that the idea for sponsored independent studies arose from the success of last semester’sfinancial markets seminar, which was sponsored by Deutsche Bank.

AFTER DARK from page 3 Clemson party criticized for racism Clemson University President James Barker decried a “gangsta”-themed party held near campus at which students mocked black stereotypes. Pictures from the party posted on Facebook showed students wearing jerseys and grills and drinking malt liquor, and at least one student was shown dressed in black face. The party was held the weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, but evidence of it was only discovered this weekend. Barker said he was angered and disappointed at the disparaging behavior, and many students have called the party racist and demanded apologies from the party’s organizers and the university. Computerized MCAT has problems Several students have reported technical problems with the new computerized MCAT exam. In its first administration this past weekend, about one-third of students who took the test were given an incorrect series of questions in the verbal reasoning part of the exam. The prompt in-

eluded a passage about robotic fish, but the ensuing questions queried test takers about songbirds. Last weekend was the first time the MCAT was offered exclusively by computer rather than by pencil and paper. Brown Med gets SIOOM naming gift Brown University Medical School will soon have a new name. Warren Alpert, founder of convenience store chain Xtra Mart, is donating $lOO million to the medical school, which will be renamed in his honor. A representative of the 86-year-old patron said Alpert has been fascinated by medical education for some time. Embattled professor commits suicide Brandy Britton, a former women’s studies professor at University of Maryland-Baltimore County, killed herself last weekend. The professor, 43, was facing four charges of prostitution after refusing to accept a plea agreement. Police said she posted an advertisement on a website describing herself as “sophisticated, refined, educated and articulate.”

for Residence Life and Housing Services. By holding its events on weekend nights from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., DAD regularly has to compete with other social events like section parties and clubs. In this way, the events are generally designed as alternatives to those social events, said freshman Alex Todisco, who has helped facilitate some of the programs. Students said the popularity of this alternative programming varies from event to event.

“It’s tough to compete with alcohol, girls and socializing. It’s tough to beat that,” freshman Scott Casale said. “But if there’s some event that seems like it’s going be very popular and a lot of friends are going to be there, then I would certainly be more inclined to go to that event.” Casale said DAD events provide an alternative to the “frat party scene,” but added that most weekends he wouldn’t consider going. “I would go to a frat party over a DAD event, unless DAD was giving cars out or something,” he said. “Or if they were giving out some substantial thing I might stop by and hang out.” Other students said those events that are more unique and require more planto

If this occurs, the candidate receiving the least number of votes will be removed, and another vote will be taken. Abram, who is the senior class president of the Pratt School of Engineering and active in Duke Conversations, said it was most important that a Young Trustee “bring perspective to the board room” as an undergraduate. Abram said he would focus on issues such as mentoring and multidisciplinary learning to help bridge perspectives in University discussions. Next year, he plans to work in development and infrastructure building at the non-profit level. Snider—DSG vice president of athletics and campus services and vice president ofexternal affairs for Delta Tau Delta fraternity—said a candidate should consider the role ofYoung Trustee with an open mind. “It’s very important that no one person approaches it

[DAD events] if its convenient to them or if it’s different, like speed dating.” Although big events like speed dating have attracted many freshmen, Todisco said that on most normal weekend nights, freshmen will choose to go to a frat party father than to a DAD event. “If its just a poker or movie night, and if there’s a lot of frat parties going on, then there’s not really that much attendance at all,” Todisco said. “Usually people, if they’re not going to frat parties, are hanging out in their dorm or doing homework.” But Todisco added that more publicity for DAD events would go a long way to increasing attendance. The Late Night Programming Committee, which plans DAD events, has worked hard this year to increase awareness, Harper said. Flyers, an email bulletin and even an AOL Instant Messenger screenname are used to advertise events. She addqd that advertising and student involvement; in planning events are critical to the prograrrfs success. “It’s still really evolving,” Harper said. “I would hope that student involvement and participation will continue because I think that is really important.”

The current president of the Panhellenic Association and an advisor to the Baldwin Scholars, Gorman said she has gained a unique experience in working for organizations that represent a large portion of undergraduate women. Like other finalists, however, she said it was important for a Young Trustee to represent the perspectives of all undergraduates, not just a particular demographic. Gorman, who also founded Project XY and is a teaching assistant and research assistant in public policy, said she also plans to work at Bain & Company in Boston. Soni is the current co-chair of the Undergraduate Judicial Board and DSG vice president for academic affairs.

THE CHRONICLE

This Sunday, for the first time in the 41-year history of the Super Bowl, an African-American coach will hoist the Lombardi trophy in celebration ofhis team’s win. While some will view this historic moment as a triumphant one for the National Football League —and it will be—l think it also should be viewed as a major cue for the NCAA. It’s time for change. There are just as many African-American head coaches in the NFL —seven—as there are Division I-A NCAA football. Except that there’s one big—l mean, really kig—difference. The meredith NFL fields 32 teams; theNCAAII9. This means less than six percent of Division I-A coaches are African-American, and that’s in a sport where 46 percent of players are black. The problem of disproportional representation in college football stands in stark contrast to men’s basketball, where black coaches lead more than 25 percent of all Division I programs. The Black Coaches Association recently released its third-annual NCAA Football Hiring Report Card, which found that in the 2005-2006 academic year, four out of the 10 Division I-A schools looking to fill vacancies received a D or an F in their approaches to giving minority candidates opportunities to fill those positions. So although Lovie Smith taking on Tony Dungy on football’s biggest stage may be a sign of the times, there are many other signs that cannot be ignored; Between 1996 and 2006, only 11 African-American coaches were hired out of a total 175 vacancies. This year, out of 23 open jobs, so far only Miami (who promoted its defensive coordinator Randy Shannon to its top coaching spot) has hired a black coach. In 2005, Tyrone Willingham went from being the first-ever black coach at Notre Dame to the first-ever Fighting Irish coach to have his contract terminated before it was scheduled to expire. Willingham didn’t even get the chance to coach one of his own recruiting classes all the way through. The entire debacle e gs the question that if Charlie Weis been in the same position as Willingam (which he hasn’t, thanks in part to l6 r Cher's recruits), would he have been bred as well? The current NFL system, which has een in place since 2002, requires all teanis comply with the Rooney Rule, ’leaning they must interview at least one candidate before hiring a new •wad coach.

Mater Dei's Taylor King (31) tries to steal the ball from his future Duke teammate Nolan Smith Tuesday.

Recruit Patterson Greg Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s last remaining post recruit for next year wrapped up an extended unofficial visit to Durham by powering his Hunt-

ington High School squad past Artesia High School 73-66 Tuesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Six-foot-8 center Patrick Patterson, who was also behind ARTESIA 66 Duke’s bench for the Blue Devils’ HUNTINGTON 73 win Sunday over Boston College, scored 20 points on 10-for-12 shooting and added 12 rebounds and four blocks. Double-teamed down low throughout most of the game, Patterson showed his ability to operate in the post and hit the mid-range jump shot. Patterson also limited Renardo Sidney, one of the top players in the country in the current high school

class, to 14 points. Perhaps more importantly for the

Duke fans in attendance, Patterson got his first taste of playing on Coach K Court—in front of the Blue Devils’ coaching staff.

Duke got a glimpse ofits future Tuesday night, as Blue Devil commits Taylor King and Nolan Smith battled in the Durham Hoophall Classic. Smith and No. 3 Oak Hill Academy (Va.) held on to beat King’s Mater Dei High School (Calif.), 77-74, despite King’s game-high 32 points. The two battled in front ofDuke’s assistant coaches and several current players. After trailing by as many as nine points in the fourth quarter, Mater Dei trimmed the deficit to three MATER DEi i_Z in the final secOAK HILL -77 onds. All eyes turned to King, who had already hit six trifectas and taken 29 shots in the game. The 6-foot-8 senior, however, was swarmed by three Oak Hill defenders the moment he touched the ball and was forced to dish to guard Blake Arnet, whose desperation three fell short at the buzzer. When asked if the final play was drawn up for King, Mater Dei head coach Gary McKnight said, “Was that a surprise to anybody?” King had helped lead the furious Mater Dei comeback, during which the Monarchs’ full-court pressure forced six turnovers in the final four minutes of the game. King’s three with 35 seconds left capped a 13-6 run to pull the Monarchs within two. In the last minute, though, Smith showed the leadership that made him the only junior captain Oak Hill head coach Steve Smith has ever had. The 6-foot-2 guard assumed some ball-handling duties SEE HOOPHALL ON PAGE 12

impresses in win

“Coming here, watching the team play, seeing Coach K coach, I have a better perspective than I did before,” Patterson said.

“I like the baskets here, I missed just two shots. That’s a plus about Duke.” After the game Patterson said he would soon cut his list of potential schools down to three and make his final decision in March. Huntington’s win capped a hectic weekend for the top high school team in the nation. Scout.com’s No. 1 overall player in the current high school senior class, OJ. Mayo, had been suspended for two. games after an altercation with a referee during a game Jan. 26. Mayo, who had initially not travelled with his team to Durham, received a temporary restraining order from a local judge midday Tuesday, allowing him to play in the game. After completing the six-hour drive down to Duke, Mayo arrived just an hour before the 8:45 tip. He scored 19 points and fouled out with three minutes to play. “It’s been real stressful since Friday night,” Mayo said. “We have a great team from the head coach to the managers. I knew we were going to be OK.”

Patrick Patterson, the top unsigned player in the Class of 2007, scored 20 points in his team's 73-66 victory.

THE CHRONICLE

It was a scene of pure jubilation. Fans from all sides of the stands stormed the Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee, Fla., celebrating Florida State’s 79-74 upset of top-ranked Duke. The March 1, 2006 victory appeared to be the signature win on an NCAA Tournament resume and the start of a special month for the Seminoles. But on Selection Sunday, Florida State did not get its name called despite a 9-7 record in the ACC. “It appears to me that the powers that be went through a real intense process to tweak the evaluation process to evaluate differently than they had in the past,” Seminoles head coach Leonard Hamilton said about last season’s selection process. “I’m not sure we have a full understanding of what the formula is for evaluating.” 2006 marked the third time in seven years that the ACC failed to earn more than four NCAA Tournament teams. Even so, the conference has averaged one team in the Final Four in that span, including three national champions—both tops among Division I conferences. Last season was ACC only the second time since 1996 thr failed to advance to the Final “This league has gotten me: the last five years,” Duke he Mike Krzyzewski said. “We s’ get six or seven teams every in the darn thing because of 1 well our teams play.” TheACC is once again stan to receive national recognitioi the nation’s best conference 2007, particularly after North 1 olina routed Arizona on the Saturday, 92-64.

State defeated No. 1 Florida, North Carolina beat No. 4 Ohio State and Georgia Tech took down No. 11 Memphis —all before the start of the conference season. The ACC also dominated the ACC-Big Ten Challenge for the eighth consecutive year, winning eight of the 11 matchups. “Hopefully the word is out there just how good the teams are in this league,” Maryland head coach Gary Williams said. “You look at some of the wins this year outside the league—they’re starting to stack up.” But Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt believes the conference may suffer from the separation caused by traditional powerhouses Duke and North Carolina. “People nationally are going to look at our league as being basically Duke and Carolina everybody else is also-rans,” Hewitt said. “Often, our league is shortchanged, because those guys are so good. If we beat them, we hear that they’re down—which I’ve been hearing all year about 1, r habh -and if they beat Duk which igue isn’t good, —

SHINER from page 9 The system isn’t perfect, but at least it has given minority applicants a voice, if not a chance. Some critics claim that the Rooney Rule just delays the process of NFL teams inevitably hiring who they want by forcing them to interview a “token” minority candidate. For example, the Dallas Cowboys met Tuesday with former Bears linebacker and 49ers defensive coordinator Mike Singletary, even though Norv Turner has been reported to be the frontrunner for the job. But regardless of whether the Cowboys hire Singletary, he is getting media exposure and attention in football circles he may not have gotten as recently as five years ago. NCAA President Myles Brand needs to further investigate the hiring practices at colleges across the country and figure out how to start changing the collegiate coaching culture. “We’re not anywhere close to where we need to be in football,” NCAA presidentBrand said Jan 6. “I’m encouraged that coaches ofcolor are appearing as finalists for positions, but seven out of 119, that’s just too darn low.” With massive turnover in head coaching jobs annually in the NCAA, making significant institutional changes, such as adopting its own version of the Rooney Rule, now could begin to make an impact in the very near future. Fans only have to wait four days to see an African-American head coach win the Super Bowl. If the NCAA continues to perpetuate the status quo, it will be a lot longer than that before we can say the same about a black coach in college’s biggest game.

Preventing even a handful of them from watching new recruits in Cameron, willingly jeopardizing an academic day when it’s possible not to, not permitting them the right to a studentwide (nationwide) social event—these are all unfair moves. Give K-ville residents their due. If they are willing to sacrifice weeks for the Blue Devils, the least their fellow students in charge can do is make sure they are happy while doing it.

selves. While single graduate students are hardly alone—considering people who get advanced degrees wait longer on average to get married than those who finish with a bachelor’s degree—being twenty-something and socially limited to your department can get to feeling a little lonely. I’ve heard colleagues of mine so despondent about getting laid in the Triangle area that they’ve decided just to wait it out until their next vacation... or until they graduate. Unfortunately, for those of us in Ph.D. programs, a five-year dry spell is out of the question. As a recent addition to the single Duke graduate student club (We broke up in December—I don’t need your sympathy), I think I can speak for many of my fellow single women in saying that finding a good-looking single guy in Durham is like finding a point in some of my columns. You know they must exist, but damn if you can’t find one to save your life. With Valentine’s Day a mere two weeks away, I feel compelled to write a guide to finding a date in the Triangle. Here are your options:

You could date undergraduates: This thought is terrifying in and of itself. While you might land a future doctor/lawyer/CEO, you might also wake up next to a beer-swilling unwashed miscreant in his 16th senior year. Upon further examination I have determined that dating undergraduates may land you in jail or intoxicated in a bikini on a pool table. Only hoe this road if you have a particularly moral and disciplined hoe.

CHOOSING A CAREGIVER

� Available to provide sick child care Available to care for children with special needs *

You can help to provide a safe and happy experience for your family member and your caregiver by doing the following:

NOTICE Neither Duke University or The Chronicle can warrant or recommend one particular caregiver or service over another. The decision to engage a caregiver must be made by the person seeking care after a prudent evaluation of the

prospective caregiver. Likewise, the decision of a caregiver to offer his/her services must be made after prudent evaluation of the person seeking care. Duke University nor The Chronicle will be responsible for the care given by providers. All caregivers have undergone a background check. Please call Staff and Family Programs at 684-9040 to see which caregivers have undergone a background check. No additional screening of caregivers has been conducted by Duke University or The Chronicle. The responsibility for screening rests solely and completely with caregivers and with those seeking care.

•

Read a good reference source on using caregivers in your home. Booklets and videos are available through the lending library of Staff and Family Programs at 154 Trent Hall. Call 684-9040.

•

Tell the prospective caregiver about your family. Describe the person(s) for whom care is needed and discuss any special needs. Check references.

Arrange a personal visit. � Give tour of home. � Discuss emergency plans for fire, etc.

Give basic care instructions. Discuss preferred methods of discipline and/or communications. � Present a situation involving your child or elder; ask how caregiver would respond. � Allow time for caregiver and child or elder to get acquainted. � Always ensure a safe trip home for the caregiver. �

Decide on questions you will ask the prospective caregiver during the phone interview. Include: Their experience with infants and children or older people; Any training in CPR, first aid or in child or elder care; What they like to do with children or older people; Availability; Fee; Transportation.
