After resumCOLLEGE PARK, Md. ing play in front of a wildly-supportive 6,485 fans in Koskinen Stadium last weekend, the men’s lacrosse team took the field Friday night in front of a road crowd for the first time in nearly a year. Given that their opponent was ACCrival Maryland, whose student supporters have drawn criticism in the past for their notoriously vulgar chants, the Blue Devils were unsure of the reception they would receive. The atmosphere, however, never proved to be an issue as the 5,283 fans sprinkled around the 51,500 seat Byrd Stadium were more concerned with Maryland’s poor goalkeeping than with the recent turmoil surrounding Duke’s lacrosse team. Only a handful of signs mentioning the scandal were present at the game, and they all had long been packed up and put away by the time the Blue Devils wrapped up their 14-7 win. Three different groups of Maryland supporters sported posters saying “No means no,” a phrase that Terrapin basketball fans have chanted in the past at opposing players who have been accused of sexual assaults.

The day before CHAPEL HILL Duke’s regular season finale at North Carolina, freshman guard Jon Scheyer talked about the team’s need to score down the stretch. “Ten minutes and under in the second half, that’s when we need to step up and make big shots and make big stops on defense,” Scheyer said Saturday. “The games that we’ve won, we’ve done those small things.” The No. 14Blue Devils (22-9,8-8 in the ACC) lost 86-72 Sunday to the eighthranked Tar Heels (26-5,11-5) in large part because they did not step up and make the big shots when it mattered most. Duke had been behind all day, but the Blue Devils had pulled within two with 12:51 to play. With the ball and a chance to tie, Duke committed a costly turnover. Greg Paulus’s pass squirted through Dave McClure’s hands on the block, leading to a North Carolina run-out and a Tyler
Hansbrough three-point play.
Gerald Henderson hit a jumper on Duke’s next possession, but Marcus Ginyard’s three-pointer out of a media timeout sent the Dean Dome shaking and kickstarted a 15-2 run that essentially ended the game. “Marcus’s three from the top of the key was big, and that made [the lead] §ix,” UNC head coach Roy Williams said. “When he shot it, I said, ‘What is he doing that for?’ He shot it, I didn’t like it, but it went in.” The Blue Devils went scoreless for 5:15 after Ginyard’s three, missing open layups and committing four turnovers.
Tyler Hansbrough leavesthe court after receiving a hard foul late in thegame from GeraldHenderson Sunday. For the game, Duke made only 13 ofits 30 shots in the paint. “We had some opportunities,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We have to convert on those plays if we’re going to win this game, as we would in most games where we’re playing against the caliber of opponent we did this after-

“It was a stupid shot,” Waner said. “It was a decent look, but I probably could have created a better look with eight seconds left on the clock, for me or for somebody else.” Glancing up at the scoreboard in disbelief, the Blue Devils realized that their perfect record— along with a shot at the ACC Tournament championship —was gone.

1965's 'Bloody Sunday' recreated by
Bob
Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SELMA, Ala.
More than a thousand people gathered Sunday to commemorate the 1965 “Bloody Sunday” voting rights march—and remarked how the original protest paved the way for modern-day candidates to break political barriers. With a marching band leading the way, participants retraced the steps to the bridge where marchers were beaten back by state troopers as they marched from Selma to Montgomery in support ofopening polls to blacks across the South. U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., one of the leaders of the first march, described how
the group marched past jeering whites on March 6, 1965, then were beaten with night sticks, trampled by horses and sprayed with tear gas. “When we left the church to walk through the heart of downtown Selma, it was a silent walk. There were 600 of us armed with a dream,” Lewis said. “The dream was that people of color would have the right to vote —the right to participate in the democratic process.” Martin Luther King Jr. led a separate march to the bridge two days later. On March 21, 1965, after a federal court intervened, King led a five-day march to the capital. The marches led to the passage of

the Voting Rights Act later that year, which removed barriers such as literacy tests that were set up by segregationists to keep blacks from registering to vote. Sunday’s event attracted Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-111. Speaker after speaker said that neither Clinton or Obama would be running for president if it wasn’t for the sacrifices made on Bloody Sunday. Clinton is seeking to become the first woman elected president; Obama is trying to become the first black president. SEE SELMA ON PAGE 8

Wilson to stay open until 1 a.m. Prof brings Jiu-Jitsu to by
Chelsea Allison the chronicle
Students craving a late-night jaunt on the elliptical now have one more hour to get in their exercise. Following a Duke Student Government-sponsored pilot program for the month of February, Wilson Recreation Center will stay open one hour later, until 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday until the end of the semester. The proposal was drafted by DSG’s athletics and campus services committee in order to accommodate students who do not have much free time during the day but still want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, said sophomore Sunny Kantha, who helped spearhead the project. “We realized that people tend to stay out until later, so this seemed the most sensible [option],” Kantha said. The committee’s abbreviated agenda for the 2006-2007 academic year outlined a plan to keep Wilson open 24 hours a day, but the proposal did not make it to the final round of negotiations. “Based on numbers we realized it wouldn’t be cost-effective [to keep the gym open 24-hours], so we pared it down,” Kantha said. Although the committee considered cost-effectiveness in determining the hours of the trial, Duke Card data still showed gym usage was not as high as expected, said Lee Tucker, administrative coordinator for Wilson Recreation Center. “The numbers weren’t really anything to speak of—basically averaged about 23 to 25 people per night,” Tucker said. “There were a few more during the K-ville operation, but we just thought maybe one month wasn’t enough of a trial to really show anything. I think I’ll just reevaluate it at the end of the semester.” Snider said the committee negotiated with Tucker to create a proposal with the best chance of success. “Tucker was happy to open the gym earlier On Sunday, but expressed reservations about extending the evening hours of the gym,” Snider said. “We compromised on the Monday through Thursday extension for one hour.” Tucker said the suggestion to keep the

Freshman Greg Rivers, who said he often works out at Wilson, thought the chosen time extension was extremely convenient but that a 24-hour gym would still be ideal. “By the time you finish all your work, sometimes it’s midnight and you’re not tired yet—it’s great to be able to have a quick workout,” Rivers said. “It’s a lot easier than having to plan your day around gym hours.”
As faculty adviser of the recently formed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class at Duke, political science professor Scott de Marchi has taken the phrase “interactive teaching” to new heights. De Marchi leads a weekly class that meets to learn and practice the techniques of BJJ, a combat sport that focuses on grappling, choke holds and joint locks. De Marchi learned BJJ while working out with Team R.O.C, a mixed martial arts team based in Chapel Hill. De Marchi said he agreed to teach the BJJ class—which is part of a larger martial arts club at Duke that includes taekwondo and judo—after students expressed interest last fall. He added that his goal was to make expensive martial arts training available to all interested students. “A lot of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu clubs are expensive—$100—so I created the club for students who couldn’t pay,” de Marchi said. Class sessions are mainly instructional, but involve a significant amount of sparring, said freshman Ashley Disilvestro, martial arts club vice president. “A typical practice begins with [de Marchi] demonstrating several escapes, joint locks and choke holds,” Disilvestro said. “We practice each of them, and then we spar for the remainder of practice.” BJJ, a sport that is unfamiliar to most Americans, can best be compared to wrestling, although there are some significant differences, participants said. “All the moves that you got penalizedfor in high school are the ones you’re supposed to do in Jiu-Jitsu—in the sense of chokes and going against joints,” freshman Frank Jemison said.

THE CHRONICLE
Undergraduates met with their graduate student menFriday at the first-ever Gradlife Festival, sponsored by Duke Student Government and the Graduateand Professional Student Council. “At Duke, it is unusual that we have the same number of undergrad and grad students, so I thought we should pair them up,” said Gautham Pandiyan, GPSC student life co-chair and a graduate student in molecular cancer biology, who developed the idea for the festival. Earlier this semester, Pandiyan and senior Maggie McGannon, DSG vice president for student affairs, sent out emails to their respective student populations inviting them to participate in the program. After receiving approximately 80 responses from unDuke Student Government and the Graduate and Professional Student dergraduate students, McGannon said she matched them Council sponsoreda program topair undergraduate with graduate mentors. up with graduate and professional students according to tors
academic areas of interest. “All classes of undergrads are represented, but I don’t know how it will play out as far as who builds the most meaningful relationships,” McGannon said. Friday’s festival consisted of two planned events to kickstart relationships between mentors and mentees. In the morning, some participants gathered in the Gothic Reading Room for a casual chat over bagels. An informal mixer for undergraduates and graduate students, including those without a mentoring partner, was held at'Blue Express in the Levine Science Research Center later that evening. There, the pairs ate dinner together and played a game of bingo. Between events, undergraduates were encouraged to spend the day with graduate students in order to get a preview of graduate student life. SEE GRADLIFE ON PAGE 6
Duke scholars taste Carrboro cooking, life by

THE CHRONICLE
For a handful of Duke students CARRBORO, N.C. accustomed to the familiar food and faces of on-campus eateries, there was a different kind of meal being served in Carrboro Sunday. The 10thannual Community Dinner, which took place at the McDougle School Cafetorium, brought approximately 600 Orange County residents together to eat, socialize and enjoy live entertainment. • Students enrolled in the Benjamin N. Duke and Trinity Leadership Scholars Program house course had the opportunity to volunteer at the event by meeting with organizers beforehand and serving food at the dinner. “We are very, very honored to. be working with the Duke students,” said Nerys Levy, chairperson of the Community Dinner Committee. “[The event] gets rid ofall the lines in the sand that divide u5.... It’s a very inclusive event, and it works so well because people want it to happen and get involved.” The Community Dinner featured local musicians and performers as well as chefs from popular restaurants, including Mama Dip’s Kitchen and the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill. More than 25 other area restaurants also donated food to the event. Sophomore Maggie Savage, a B.N. Duke Scholar who volunteered at the dinner, said she thought that Duke and the Durham communities could benefit from a similar event. “It’s great because it just brings so many different people from the community together,” she said. “People really find common interests when they sit down together.” Sarah Trent, assistant director of the B.N. Duke and Trinity Scholars Program, organized student participation at the dinner and said she hopes to do so again next year. “I think it’s a great example of togetherness,” Trent said. “Sharing this space and this meal, and celebrating community.... It seems to be something that everyone can participate in at the same level.” The Community Dinner was established 10 years ago as away to raise public awareness of local libraries, and has since grown and evolved, selling out in recent years. “People have really forged relationships over the years,” said Jake Lehrer, head of the Carrboro Branch Library. “It started off as away to promote the library, but it’s really grown into something else.” Today, community members are encouraged to donate money to underwrite dinner tickets for those who are unable to afford them, allowing people from all backgrounds to attend. The event’s catch phrase —“Sit down with a stranger, leave with a friend”—means that staff encourage diners to sit with people they did not previously know. “Food is something that everybody likes,” said freshman Portia Boone, a Trinity Scholar who volunteered at the event. “Sometimes the simplest things can be the most

uke, Durham students raise SSOK for Habitat house by
Catherine Butsch the chronicle
At the end of the semester, some students have thesis papers to show for their efforts. Others have documentaries or
multimedia presentations. And some, like sophomores Benjamin Berg and Kristyn Schomp, have a house. Saturday marked the groundbreaking on the site of the new home of Cynthia Holland, a child nutrition service assistant at Merrick-Moore Elementary School
in Durham. Berg and Schomp, along with junior Shivam Joshi, worked through Habitat for Humanity’s Youth United initiative—which brings youth ages five to 25 together to fund and build houses —to organize the
project.
More than 25 groups from churches and schools in Durham collaborated under the Duke students’ leadership to raise the $50,000 needed to begin construction. “We’ve heard a lot in the press about problems with Duke-Durham relations, and this just shows that, while there may have been problems in the past, there also ire good stories going on,” Berg said. Berg, Schomp and junior John Bailey, dio is currently studying abroad, got inolved with Youth United last semester
irough public policy professor Tony
rown’s Enterprising Leadership class, chomp said. When the three students realized they lared an interest in Habitat’s mission, hey approached the Durham chapter. “We found out they were doing Durham’s] inaugural Youth United build, fhey were looking for students to get involved, so the three of us... thought this vas the perfect opportunity,” Berg said.
Although Joshi was not a member of the class, he said he got involved after independendy contacting Habitat about volunteer projects for his fraternity. “Especially after the lacrosse scandal, with the stereotypes the media has put on Duke students, this is something I can do individually to better the image of Duke,” Joshi said. The Duke chapter of Youth United raised more than $l,OOO for the project by soliciting donations from students who signed two-by-fours to be used in the construction of Holland’s house. “There were some doubts that we could raise the $50,000 by March 1,” Berg said. “If you step back and say, ‘We’re going to have all these little projects and raise $50,000,’ one might be skeptical.” But small-scale fundraisers geared toward, youth brought in a good deal of money, said Roxanne Hall, special events manager for Habitat’s Durham branch. One elementary school in particular made over $4,000 in one week through a dollar drive, she added. “You should see how kids [are] so motivated,” Holland said. “They’re hungry to do something to help the next person. You know how they say sometimes kids [are] lazy, but when you give them a challenge they go for it.” Holland’s 10-year-old son even joined the project, raising $1,075 on his own by writing letters to Durham residents, Hall said. In addition to student support for the project, in-kind donations from businesses also brought the groups closer to their goal, Berg said. He added that this particular Habitat project is unusual not only because youth helped to raise all of the funds but also because Holland’s home is part of the Hope

Two students’ interactions at the morning breakfast proved the advantage of attending the program, Pandiyan said. Even though they were not formally matched, sophomore Enping Hong struck up a conversation with Jeremy Block, a graduate student in computational science and engineering, biological chemistry and structural biology and biophysics.

Beth Houtrow, a second year graduate student in public policy studies, said she initially signed up to be a mentor because she wanted to talk to undergraduates about what they should expect in graduate school. Even though her mentee never showed up to meet her, Houtrow was able to give one piece of advice to a freshman debating between getting a doctorate degree in economics or public policy. “I told him he should worry about his major first,” Houtrow said.

AFGHANISTAN cause an uproar in a country that has seen an untold number of civilians killed by international forces since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. A high-level delegation was
to investigate. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has pleaded repeatedly for Western troops to take care not to harm civilians, and in December wept during a speech lamenting civilian deaths at the hands of foreign forces. The U.S.-based Human Rights Watch estimates that more than 100 Afghan civilians died as a result of NATO and coalition assaults in 2006. An AP tally, based on reports from Afghan, NATO and coalition officials, puts the overall civilian death toll in 2006 at 834, most from militant attacks. Nine witnesses including five Afghans recuperating from bullet wounds in the hospital told The Associated Press that U.S. forces fired indiscriminately along at least a six-mile stretch of one of eastern Afghanistan’s busiest highways a route often filled not only with cars and trucks but Afghans on foot and bicycles. “They were firing everywhere, and they even opened fire on 14 to 15 vehicles passing on the highway,” said Tur Gul, 38, who was standing on the roadside by a gas station and jvas shot twice in his right hand. “They opened fire on everybody, the ones inside the vehicles and the ones on foot.” The tolls varied.

combatant taps out and admits defeat. Even so, injuries are rare and the club maintains a friendly atmosphere, de Marchi said. “Since everyone is training and trying to help one another leam, very few people get hurt. If you look at judo, BJJ or wresding, people are much nicer than in team sports. Nobody gets angry, nobody mouths off. It’s much friendlier,” de Marchi said. “There’s an ethic in all of these sports to help everybody get better, as opposed to basketball where you just want to win.” Nearly all of the participants are new to the sport, and most said they do not have ambitions of competing. For them, practicing BJJ is just another way to exercise, Jemison said. “It’s a really good work out,” freshman Elad Gross said. “If you fight, all your muscles are strained for 3 to 5 minutes. It works muscle endurance.” Gross added that taking BJJ has made him more confident about his ability to defend himself. “I think it’s very useful for self-defense, especially if you’re in hand-tohand combat. You’ll be able to incapacitate the person,” he said. “I feel more prepared to go into a fight and defend myself, if necessary.” Other class members agreed with Gross, adding that BJJ gives a person much more practical techniques for selfdefense than other martial arts disciplines. “I think it is more useful than other forms of martial arts because you fight an opponent that’s closer to you,” Jemison said. “It may not look as graceful or as technical as other martial arts, but I think it caters much more to real life because
Former President Bill Clinton joined his wife for the march and was inducted into the National Voting Rights Museum Hall of Fame in a ceremony. “If it hadn’t been for Selma, there would be no Voting Rights Act. If it hadn’t been for the Voting Rights Act, the South would have never recovered and two white southerners—Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton—never could have become president,” the former president said. Marchers ranged from babies in strollers to men and women in their 80s and 90s. The marchers included veterans of the civil rights movement and parents seeking to show their children a piece of history. “I’m here because I went to jail for the freedom to vote. I slept on the floor,” said 85-year-old Lecy Lindsey of Wilcox County. She said she was active in protests to allow blacks to register to vote.
Lowell and Lynn Bass of LaGrange, Ga. said they brought their four children, ages 6-12, to give them a taste of history. “These guys live in a totally different world. Myjob is to show them the sacrifice of others,” Lynn Bass said ofher sons.

Detwiler’s column insulting Jacqui Detwiler asks “why on earth” parents would not want their daughters spared from STDs (“‘H’ is for ‘Hussy,’” Feb. 28). The condescending rhetoric aside, we know the only sure way of doing that is to altogether avoid premarital sex—not to receive injections of Gardasil. But Detwiler’s column portrays the opponents of forced HPV vaccination as arrogant fools: First, she bills them as ignorant, then as hypocritical, then as self-righteous (an easy stereotype), and finally as motivated by blind fear. In fact, however, there are many people who think that there is something more important than living a sexually active life free of anxiety, more important even than a simple (though essential) resistance to the tyranny offorcing new and unnecessary drugs into the bodies ofothers. In truth, many of the people Detwiler criticizes are young girls themselves, often religiously motivated, who want to and will lead chaste lives. Others are the young men who will one day wed these girls. To them, the “hookup” is never an option because they recognize that sex transcends the carnal; the bodies of their future wives are sacred realms into which they dare not trespass without the blessing of the Church and the hand of God for guidance. These should not be forced to waste money and incur health risks for a vaccine that they will never require. They think, as I do, that it is a grave disservice to our country to make public policy on the assumption that our children cannot control their sexual desires. I pray Detwiler will refrain from a pathetic and insulting portrayal of these good men and women in the future. Pratt ’O9

In order to fill the void, the committee suggests creating additional public spaces on West Campus where groups can host events. As anyone who has attended a party in The Loop or a Von Canon room can tell you, this is not a solution. Students want a social scene that is more independent from bureaucratic intervention, not less. We agree that Duke’s residential system hampers interaction and could use improvement But we encourage the administration to thinkup novel approaches to residence life. There are better ways to improve campus life than resorting to the longstanding, ineffective tactic of marginalizing selective groups. Why not build stand-alone frat and selective houses for upperclassmen on Central Campus or develop some other residential system

how these groups will retain their identity—or even survive—without shared housing. The popularity of sororities and off-campus fraternities make it plausible that IFCfrats could persist and even thrive without sections, but what will groups like SHARE and Round Table, (whose core identities depend on their members living together) do? The second problem with the report is that it does not provide a real replacement for section parties, which represent both the backbone of nightlife at Duke and some of the most egalitarian social events on campus. Unlike offcampus parties, section parties are widely advertised and anyone with a Duke Card can show up without paying a cover charge or calling a cab.
that independents and selectives alike can rally around? The administration needs as much buy-in from as many quarters as possible to realize its ambitions forresidence life. In the past this page has expressed its concern that the CGl’s recommendations wore developed more as a response to the lacrosse case than out of an earnest attempt at institutional improvement. Duke should do everything possible to assuage these concerns by seeking a win-win solution—it is possible to even the playing field without neutering SLGs and fraternities. Let’s develop a dynamic residential system that greeks, selectives and independents can all enjoy. This is the first in a series of editorials about the recommendations in the recently released Campus Culture Initiative Report.

Tenting for the women The residents of Goestenkorsopolis Tent #1 appreciate all those who supported the women in their season’s final game. We specifically want to thank the little boys that made cookies for us, the muffin man, the donut donators, the alumna that inspired us with her original K-ville stories, the Waner family for their enthusiasm, the other tenters that joined us and everyone else that offered a helping hand and encouraging cheers. Most of all, we would like to thank the women’s team for their amazing dedication, style and grace. Our only goal was to show them the support and admiration that they deserve, and they make it so easy for us to admire them. Finally, to our senior players, thank you for an amazing run. We also feel we should mention a few problems we encountered during our week-long stay in G-opolis. We were somewhat disheartened that the line monitors originally ignored our requests for help arranging our plans to support the women’s team, and that they failed to communicate consistendy with the tenters even after they were forced to accommodate the
growing population of G-opolis. We would also like to mention that the head line monitorenacted spurious policies without proper warning and never offered to speak with us direcdy about our policy concerns. Most upsetting was that certain line monitors verbally harassed some of our tent-mates, completely disrespected the tradition ofK-ville and attempted to provoke us for only doing what any good Duke basketball fan would do. In response, we ask that DSG ensure that all future line monitors be more willing to work with students to support our women’s basketball team. In closing: This is not the first time that students have tented for a women’s game. We never claimed so. What we claim is that it will not be the last. The 19 Residents of G-opolis Tent #1 White wrongly advocates status quo I was dismayedby Lindsay White’s column “The nature of the beast” (March 1). White appears to believe that individuals subject to discrimination within private institutions have little right to complain. Sure, they might be ejected from a beloved sorority because they are overweight, Asian or not adequately fashionable, but that’s just “the nature of the beast” Observers should remember that these women “were part of an organization in which membership is contingent upon meeting arbitrary standards.” These women are not entided to too much of our sympathy, White implies, because they should have known this before they joined. I find this line ofthinking insipid, if not downright offensive. Any private institution is legally entitied to discriminate against whomever they wish. The more significant issues, however, are whether its forms of discrimination are reasonable and just, and whether it is entitled to our support, either as members or outsiders. Should we merely sit back and shrug when a private country club admits “Whites only?” Can we, in good conscience, allow our “political parties, societies and country clubs” to systematically reject less fortunate, less attractive, less mainstream individuals in exchange for the “prestige, support and... comfort offitting in with a homogenous population”? It is my hope that the vast majority of the Duke students would answer both questions with a resounding “no.” The appalling actions ofDelta Zeta’s national officers offer an excellent opportunity to take a serious look at the standards of greek organizations across the country. Perhaps it is time to reassess the value of these organizations if their primary bases for discrimination are superficial, segregating and, ultimately, in conflict with the values we wish communities to embody. White, however, rejects this opportunity and instead offers cliched arguments in favor of the status quo. I am disappointed.

Defending non-greek selectives I
believe the Campus Culture Initiative Steering Committee made a very big mistake in not distinguishing between greek selective housing and other non-greek selective houses in its report. While I agree that the current system of West Campus housing may not be perfect, the elimitorti nation of non-greek sewould houses guest column lective hurt, not help, the problem. While fraternity sections often separate students by gender and race, non-greek selective houses are mostly coed, and many have the explicit goal of celebrating diversity. Additionally, while the structure of sororities at Duke has proven that greek organizations can survive without housing, the sole purpose of non-greek selective houses is to provide a living community. Without housing, our communities will cease to exist. The CCI report acknowledged the importance of communities when it wrote that, “the Committee recognizes the need to foster social/affinity groups and greek organizations that promote the development of friendships, camaraderie, common purpose, and social networks.” Destroying the communities that non-greek selective houses have built would certainly detract from many students’ experiences at Duke, especially the students who do not wish to join greek organizations. It is important to realize that the members of nongreek selective houses are often those who are seeking alternatives to the “West Campus social culture” that the report references. In contending that there has been an “elimination of [an] alternative housing environment” for the students who want to avoid that culture, the report is blatandy ignoring the important role non-greek selective houses play. In my recent experience with Mirecourt rush, one of the main reasons freshmen said they were rushing was to avoid the greek-dominated mainstream Duke culture. I would imagine this is true for the
Julia
rushees of other non-greek selectives as well. My personal experience with non-greek selectives has been as a member of Mirecourt, and I am speaking solely from that experience. However, I have discussed this issue with friends in other non-greek selectives, and they have often echoed my sentiments.As to my experience in Mirecourt, I have found it to be much more diverse and tolerant than Duke as a whole. I have become friends with people I never would have imagined just approaching on the quad. I have never felt uncomfortable expressing myself or my views within the walls of Mirecourt because I know that my housemates respect me and care about me. Unfortunately, I feel that this is a unique experience to have at Duke. I am not saying that we are a perfect community, but we are a community. In the past, when there have been feelings of exclusion based on race or gender, members have felt like they were able to speak out. I remember a handful of meetings during which Mirecourt has openly discussed these issues and sought solutions. If this is not the “type of community [where] relationships are rooted in mutual respect and civility, the dignity and selfworth of all members are celebrated, and its members feel safe and secure,” then I don’tknow what is. The only thing I dislike about being a part of Mirecourt is having to turn away freshmen during rush who are seeking the same kind of community I have been so privileged to find. The CGI report seems to imply that social communities will simply spring up naturally in West Campus dorms in the future, but this belief is naive. Duke should not destroy the only system it currently has to bring a sense of community to “alternative” students or students seeking reprieve from greek life. The solution to many of the issues identified by the CGI report is the creation of more non-greek selectives, not their destruction.

A good save
It
was Valentine’s Day, at about the time when you should be out with your significant other for a nice, romantic dinner. So, of course, I was doing work in Perkins. Duke Student Government Executive Vice President Joe Fore, a senior, saw me at work on a computer. “Hey, Allie,” he started. “What do you think of that new statue on the Plaza?” I responded honestly: It kind of creeps me out
At the DSG meeting that evening, the Young alMe VergOtZ Trustee vote took place. down and dirty wjth ds It was supposed to be the only item of business, as many students wanted to meet with theirrespective sweethearts and/or watch the Blue Devils kick EC’s butt. Possibly a hot date in front ofESPN? Fore, however, decided to bring one more item to the table: a resolution “concerning removal of the sculpture Tattoo from the Plaza.” It was unlike any resolutions I’d seen before. The policy statement was rather straightforward; Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, should solicit more thorough input from students” before placing artwork in high-traffic, student-oriented spaces. The rationale for Fore’s resolution, however, was less than “respectfully submitted,” as he wrote. In a rather bold statement, Fore described Tattoo: The oversized, awkward shape, coupled with seemingly random words and neon lights emanating from the figure s groin have no obvious relation to student life or Duke University in general.” He then went on to suggest that DSG was “forced to concur” with the now-infamous Facebook group, “WOW, that statue on the plaza is ugly.” Fore suggested that certain works would be welcomed by the student body and that the value of art is, of course, subjective. Nonetheless, he said DSG “object[s] to this par-
ticular piece because it is out of place, and, above all, ugly.” Don’t hold back; please tell us what you really think. Luckily, the DSG Senate questioned whether it had the right to make such ajudgment, and Fore decided to withdraw his motion. The next week, he brought up a new resolution “concerning solicitation of student input for artwork in student-oriented spaces.” This new resolution simply asked Moneta and the Office of Student Affairs to seek more student input before making “aesthetic alterations” to campus. Fore cited both the “Spanish benches” and Tattoo and their apparent clash with Duke’s traditional Gothic architecture. Again, he brought up the Facebook group, “WOW, that statue on the plaza is ugly”—now about 140 members strong —noting that “DSG makes no judgment as to the validity of this assessment.” This resolution was approved by unanimous consent. I am not surprised the new resolution passed. It was well-phrased and an appropriate reaction to a statue that does seem to bother a lot of students. It is the previous week’s resolution that concerns me. Throughout the year, I have had the utmost respect for Fore. He runs DSG meetings efficiently and appropriately, but this first resolution seemed very out of character for him. I found the wording inappropriate and rude for a document he wished DSG to approve. No matter how strongly he or the rest of the student body dislikes Tattoo on the Plaza, it does not justify his offensive and almostchildish first draft. I am thankful that the Senate did not approve of such wording and the new version of the resolution was written. Maybe the student body doesn’t like Tattoo on the Plaza. Maybe it gets in the way of the skateboarders. Maybe some people do find it downright ugly. But that’s no reason to throw decorum out the window. Good save, Fore. AUie Vergotz is a Trinity freshman.

Howdy, Partner!
Sex
seems to be a conversational taboo at Duke—relegated to banal congratulations, a la “Dude I can’t believe you hit
that!”—or lectures in the cloisters of McClendon. Where are the animated reenactments of how awkward the wheelbarrow really is? Or the involved debates over the merits of the reverse cowgirl? (Pros: not as intimate; Cons: not as intimate). As for further proof of our hushhush mentality about sex, why is the LGBT Center in the basement of the West Union? We’re curious how many people can actually find the LGBT Center. We could use an updated T-shirt campaign: “gay? fine by me. where can i learn more?” But that would effort on our /part and require lames and Joyce v i doesn t quite have the same ring to it, does it? Regardless of one’s sexual orientation or preferences, we all excitedly anticipate the looming Spring Break. For most of us, SB2K7 offers the right blend of partial nudity, constant inebriation and boundary-free debauchery that allows us to open up a little and take it all in. (That’s what she said!) The first step in attaining lustful nights of frivolity is picking a good partner. Ideally, the partner is experienced, but diseasefree. Fit, but not brawny. Suave, but not slimy. You get the point James and Joyce differ slightly on what they consider to be the important questions they ask of their partners. James: Do you have children? Do you have a partner? A criminal record? Intravenous drug user? Have you left the country in the past three months? Have you accepted money for sex? If so, how much? Joyce: Do you have a condom?Your place or mine? While we strongly encourage you to push some boundaries with yourchosen partner (act out a fantasy, bend some gender), be careful about the extent ofyour public exposure. If money shots of bald celebrities’ unmentionables are but a cellphone away, rest assured that pictures ofyou in a wet T-shirt contest or similarly scandalous setting WILL surface on Facebook. Don’t be naive and think they won’t. Also, expect thatyou will have to explain these to Goldman executives in your future interviews. And if you are tempted to flash strangers because they’re incessantly chanting your name, justremember that you could be getting paid for this. We hear that “Girls with Low Self-Esteem” pays particularly well. Risks include your visage on recurring late night TV ads, and of course, low self-esteem. If you are going with a wet T-shirt, or justboosting your SPFfactor, we ask you to consider wearing your “I KNOW MY STATUS” shirt at the beach. Because nothing says sex more than an affirmation of your HIV-awareness. Following six weeks of Kanye’s Workout Plan (“eat your salad, no dessert/ get that man you deserve”), we implore, nay DEMAND, that all of you EAT A SANDWICH! With cheese! Enough of the damn salad. And get out of the stifled gym and into the warm glow of the sun. Which brings us to our next point; Tanorexia. Everyone looks good with a little golden glow, we are all about the health and radiance. We do not, however, condone either the orange or the leathery outcomes of tanning. Melanoma, no matter how oddly musical in its cadence, is not sexy. Now that you look good and have a partner, you can’t wait to begin exploring. We must add our obligatory public health message: safety is of the essence at this point. Let what happens in Daytona stay in Daytona, and not require some form of treatment upon your return. We understand condoms are often hard to find during those clutch moments, so please make sure those tiny purses or Hawaiian-print Bermudas are stuffed with them. As an aside, we would like to point out that flavored condoms are a brilliant invention. We applaud safe and tasty oral endeavors. However, recognize that sugary substances do not belong inside oilier body cavities. Not unless you want to be particularly uncomfortable in your bathing suit the next morning. We’ve dealt with condoms, but to keep in line with Dubya’s policies and continue receiving federal funds, we are required to remind you that abstinence is an option. Not always a bad one either—Bollywood movies seem to be replete with love scenes that barely involve touching. At the very least, go tantric and deny yourself the sexual pleasure until you get married. Or find a condom. Whichever comes first (All of the above apply ifyou’re staying in Durham, too.)

Duke dropped its first game of the season Saturday, falling to No. 5 Maryland 1918 in a game that came down to the end in College Park, Md. No. 2 Duke (4-1, 0-1 in the ACC) never led in the contest, but the Blue Devils managed to tie the DUKE |_L? game with a little MARYLAND n9 more than five minutes left following a 4-0 Maryland run that had brought its lead to 17-12. Head coach Kerstin Kimel called a timeout after the Terrapins run, and the Blue Devils came out of the break and talliedfive goals in less than four minutes to even the score at 17. Senior attacker Kristen Waagbo contributed two goals to the Duke onslaught, her fourth and fifth of the game. “Kerstin said we needed to want the ball more than them,” sophomore attacker Carolyn Davis said of the coach’s words during the timeout. “We won almost all the draws after that and converted on a lot of them. We just started to execute the game plan that we hadn’t in the first half.” The Terrapins (3-0, 2-0), however, responded in kind, calling a timeout of their own and returning to the field reinvigorated. Maryland notched two more goals to put it ahead 19-17 with just 47 seconds remaining. The Blue Devils’ Davis gained possession and drove to the cage and was fouled. On the subsequent free position shot, she
Blue Devils won the draw and the ball ended up in Davis’ stick yet again off a pass from Waagbo. As she headed to the goal, she was called for a charge and the Terrapins took control of the ball as time ran out. One factor in Duke’s loss was the loss of midfielderRachel Sanford, who suffered an ankle injury 10 minutes into the game. Without Sanford—who is second on the team in draw controls—to take the face-offs, Duke was forced to alter its draw strategy. “Having Rachel not out there is always going to hurt you because she’s amazing on the draw,” Davis said. “But [Caroline] Cryer and Allie [Johnson] really both stepped up in the second half and helped us win the draw.” Heading into halftime, the Blue Devils trailed by three and were looking for a spark heading into the break. Two goals in the period’s final four minutes—the first from freshman Lindsay Gilbride followed by another from Waagbo off a Cryer assist—brought the score to 8-7. But the Terrapins proved to be too much to handle in the second period and dealt Duke its first loss of the season. The game marked Maryland’s first victory over Duke since 2003, as well as the most goals scored against Duke in the history of the program. Up next, the Blue Devils face No. 4 Princeton Sunday at 1 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium.

care of business with a 6-5 victory over the Crusaders
(1-5) Sunday. “Good series for us—[we’re]
obviously
really
excited to win 13 three games,” head coach Sean McNally said. “If you look up and down the lineup, you’re seeing a lot of guys responsible for that collective success.” Duke’s offense came out strong Sunday, building a 5-3 lead in the fourth inning before hitting a tight spot in the top of the sixth. After the Crusaders knocked in two runs to tie the score at five, the Blue Devils brought in reliever Kyle Butler to close out the inning. With the go-ahead run on first, Butler forced Crusader batter Joe Moore to hit into a double play to get Duke out of the inning. After singling to left to start off the seventh, Ryan McCurdy advanced to second on a passed ball and then scored from second on another passed ball for Duke’s goahead, and ultimately, game-winning run. Butler (1-0), a walk-on sophomore
who worked as a team manager for most of his freshman year, earned his first career win Sunday. “Our pitching was solid all the way through, and our catchers were amazing behind the plate,” Buder said. “It feels amazing from where I came from as a walkon. I didn’t know if I was ever even going to play college baseball, and to get out here and be able to contribute after spending a year and a half on the team—it feels great.” In the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader, the Blue Devils set the tone right off the bat jumping out to a commanding fiverun lead in the first inning. With 20 team hits, Duke steadily increased its lead to 13-0 before the Crusaders drove in one run in the eighth to narrowly avoid being shut out. Holy Cross, however, took an early 5-0 lead in Saturday’s second game. Duke battled back with a combined three runs in the fifth and sixth and seven runs in the seventh. The Blue Devils played small-ball and came through with timely, two-out hits to manufacture four runs before freshman Gabriel Saade topped off scoring with the first home run ofhis career—a three-run shot to left. “We kept on fighting when we were down in the second game,” Saade said. Finishing off the non-conference stretch of their season this week, the Blue Devils hope to continue their winning ways against ACC opponents. “We’re tremendously excited about how we’ve played to this point,” McNally said. ‘We’re just going to go one day at a time, come out Tuesday, get prepared to play, continue to play well and take it from there.”

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Inspired Wolfpack deal Blue Devils Ist loss by
And then, at precisely the right time, the breaks started to go N.C. State’s way. Just as she had all game, Waner started on the low block opposite the Duke bench and ran around two low-post screens looking for a threepointer right in front of her teammates and coaches. The sophomore guard would have caught the ball, nailed the. shot and ran back to midcourtstill holding the follow-through. Yow would have called timeout, Waner would have and chest-bumped Harding Goestenkors would have let out a wry smile, thinking, ‘She did it again.’ It would have been the dagger. Of course, none of that happened. Waner slipped. Coming off the second pick, Waner tripped on a wet piece of hardwood and face-planted on the court. The would-be assist sailed out of bounds. After the game, the emotional Yow thanked the gods for allowing her to be in a position to coach from the bench. Perhaps she should have lauded their timeliness as well. On the next possession, Ashley Key hit a layup—63-62 Duke. After a Wanisha Smith offensive foul, Gillian Goring grabbed an offensive rebound and made the putback to put the Wolfpack up one. Duke eventually re-took the lead, but the aura surrounding the top-ranked team in the land had evaporated. Accordingly, the Wolfpack closed the game on a 5-0 run. It might be easy to blame the Blue Devils for losing leads and not making shots. There is a difference, however, between a poor shooting performance and a lack of execution. The Blue Devils executed the plays—they just could not find the basket. Duke can take plenty of positives from this loss. It will still likely get the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. It will still play four pseudo-home games in Raleigh and Greensboro on the path to Cleveland for the Final Four. The longterm implications of this game are relatively minimal. The Blue Devils will eventually have their day. On Saturday, though, Kay Yow and the Wolfpack had theirs.

THE CHRONICLE
GREENSBORO, N.C. Duke did not lose Saturday because it failed to execute down the stretch, or because it was complacent on offense. The seemingly invincible Blue Devils were not vulnerable because Waner Abby missed a fadeaway game three with a hand in her face, or because Alison Bales’ short jumper to take the lead in the last minute rimmed out. And the fact that Lindsey Harding could not penetrate off the dribble had little to do with Duke’s shortcoming. Sometimes, it is not about swishing shots and playing suffocating defense. Sometimes, fate is more important than field goals and free throws. Even if the defeat was hard to swallow for the previously-undefeated Blue Devils, Duke did not lose. North Carolina State won. N.C. State was playing for its coach, Kay Yow, who is currendy immersed in a bitter fight with breast cancer. She struggled to yell Saturday because of recent chemotherapy treatments that affected her vocal capabilities. Even Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said last week she was pulling for Yow and N.C. State to win the tournament if Duke did not. Goestenkors said she did not think her team played with enough energy. That was not the real problem—Duke just could not match N.C. State’s emotion. All the Wolfpack needed to do for inspiration was look at their stoic leader on the bench. “Since Kay’s come back, any game that you’ve seen them play, they play with great emotion, great passion,” Goestenkors said. “This is not the first time that I’ve seen it. I see it every time they go on the court.” The Wolfpack improbably completed comeback after comeback and, after a while, it seemed as if the basketball gods simply were not going to let N.C. State lose. But when the Wolfpack whittled Duke’s lead down to three points with 3:22 remaining, it did not seem as if the Blue Devils would collapse.

Lindsey Harding and the Blue Devils did not have enough to match the Wolfpack, led by their head coach Kay Yow.
W. BBALL from TC page 1
Instead, things started to unravel quickly.
After leading the Wolfpack by eight with six minutes to go, the Blue Devils did not record a field goal for the rest of the game. The poor shooting down the stretch was indicative of the team’s larger offensive woes, as Duke had an earlier 12minute field goal drought and ACC Player of the Year Lindsey Harding was only 3-for-13 from the field. Still, Duke had its chances to close out a win at the end of the game. With the Blue Devils ahead by one with just under two minutes to go, N.C. State’s primary scoring threat, Ashley Key, drove under the basket for a reverse layup. Like she had done so many times over her career, Alison Bales used her 6-foot-7 length to stretch out and smack the shot down. Harding scooped up the loose ball, and the Blue Devils called timeout looking to retake control of the game.
Freshman Joy Cheek threw a bad pass intended for Harding out of bounds, and the frustration showed as it had all day on Harding’s disgusted face. Key immediately took advantage and nailed a running jumper in the left side of the lane with 1:18 left to give the Wolfpack a one-point lead. The excited crowd began screaming and jumping, with N.C. State, UNC and Maryland fans all celebrating in unison at the prospect of perhaps the biggest upset of the year. “They just put their heads down and penetrated,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “It’s something we’ve been focusing on and we’re usually pretty good with, and just didn’t do a good job today. They made us pay for it today.” Wanisha Smith looked to silence the crowd with a three, but her shot rimmed out of the basket. Fortunately for Duke, Cheek made up for her earlier mistake
by grabbing the offensive rebound, and the Blue Devils called timeout with 50 seconds left. Once again, though, Duke could not convert as Bales missed a layup in the post and the Wolfpack made both free throws, setting the stage for the game’s conclusion. After the buzzer sounded, N.C. State’s players dived on the ACC logo at midcourt in celebration as the Blue Devils could do nothing but grimace and face the reality that for the first time this year —they had lost. “It hurts my heart,” Goestenkors said. “But we know that we’ll learn from it and get better. So it’s definitely better now than later.” NOTES: Duke’s 30-game winning streak was the best start in school and ACC history.... North Carolina, which came in as the No. 2 seed, won the ACC Tournament for the third consecutive year.

Henderson Tar Heels dominate Duke inside suspended for late foul by
Michael Moore
THE CHRONICLE
CHAPEL HILL For years, Duke has been one of the most effective defensive teams in the country simply by playing tough man-to-man defense and making its opponents take difficult shots. Sunday, though, North Carolina was able to win the Tobacco Road showdown by scoring on Easy Street. An astounding 76 of the Tar Heels’ 86 points came either in the lane or from the charity stripe. Twenty-seven of North Carolina’s 31 field goals came from inside the paint as the Tar Heel guards got in the lane whenever they pleased and often dished the ball off to Tyler Hansbrough or Brandan Wright for easy buckets. Hansbrough had 26 points and Wright added 10 as the two combined to shoot 62.5 percent from the field. And although the Blue Devils have struggled all year containing quick guards, Sunday’s loss to the Tar Heels was perhaps the most glaring example of that. Marcus Ginyard, Reyshawn Terry and Tywon Lawson all got to the rim with relative ease and subsequently combined for 40 points. The Blue Devils’ inability to stop penetration and slow down UNO’s post players called for a dramatic adjustment to get back into the game. As in the contest at Cameron, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski employed a four-guard lineup for much of the second half in an attempt to create some favorable matchups for the Blue Devils. In the first showdown earlier this season, UNC head coach Roy Williams matched Duke’s small lineup by playing Terry at the second forward position. Sunday, however, North Carolina kept its two star post players—Wright and Hansbrough—in the game and continued to dominate inside. Hansbrough had 18 of his points at the break, when he was at times being guarded by Gerald Henderson or even Greg Paulus on switches. ‘You have to make adjustments to try to win the ballgame,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought our kids did a good job in it, and then they did a good job in attacking it.” Krzyzewski was forced to go to the fourguard lineup in large part because he was getting such little production from Duke’s four spot.

North Carolina's guards,like Wayne Ellington, were able to create room in thelane for theTar Heel big men.
minutes, and Josh Mcßoberts committed six turnovers in the period as he received attention from both Tar Heel post players. The small lineup gave the Blue Devils a chance to run their offense more effectively as Henderson, who carried Duke early on, and DeMarcus Nelson pulled UNC’s second
big man away from the basket. The Blue Devils shot 50 percent in the second half compared to just 35.3 percent in the first. “I thought it helped us really, because they were just playing off our second big—it was like playing five against four,” Krzyzewski said of the adjustment. “We thought that taking advantage of the fact that they had been playing us that way might give us a boost. Obviously you are going to get hurt defensively, but again we got it to [a two-point deficit] doing that.”
Sunday was the Blue Devils’ second straight game in which they struggled on defensively, as Krzyzewski said he was dis-
appointed with the defensive execution after Wednesday’s loss to Maryland. These teams may have caused problems for Duke’s defense because they simply are better than the Blue Devils. But for a team that has relied for most of the season on its defense, Duke must improve on that end to have any hope of making a run at postseason success. “There were periods where we played defense and periods where we didn’t—and that can’t happen,” freshman Jon Scheyer said. ‘We need to play defense for 40 minutes. Especially with us, that’s been one of our strong points this year, so we definitely need to stay focused on that come Thursday.”
Henderson scored on four straight possessions to bring the Blue Devils back within four. It was the start of a banner day for day—the Tar Heels scored 12 consecutive the freshman, who set a career-high for points over four minutes. All six field goals the second game in a row with 16 points. “He’s been really [good] for us, and he came in the paint. had another great game today,” Greg loved the we the first 10 “I way played or 12 minutes of the game,” Williams said. Paulus said. “We just need to have him “We were pushing the ball, we were trying keep playing the way he is.” Later in the half, it was Paulus who hit to get the ball inside, we were sharing it two threes to spearhead an 8-2 run and cut and moving it around.” North Carolina pounded the ball inthe North Carolina advantage to five. But whereas Duke was able to hit side all day, exploiting Duke’s decision to play Henderson and DeMarcus Nelson at enough shots to keep the game from slipforward for most of the second half. Tyler ping away, the Blue Devils could not score Hansbrough had 26 points and 17 re- once the game was withinreach. bounds, a performance Williams called NOTES: “Sean May-like.” The loss drops Duke to the No. 7 seed “He’s a great player,” Krzyzewski said. “Numbers like that don’t surprise me in the ACC Tournament, where they will about him because he’s done it before and face N.C. State Thursday night.... The Blue Devils’ final ACC record of 8-8 is the he’ll do it again. He’s one of the best playprogram’s worst mark since 1996.... Paulus ers in the country.” Duke was able to hang around until led Duke with 21 points, marking the 10th straight game the sophomore has scored that deciding spurt, however, by responding to every UNC run. After the 12-2 start, in double figures.
CHAPEL HILL It had been a memorable afternoon for Gerald Henderson. The freshman had scored a career-high 16 points and at times single-handedly kept Duke in the game. The day, however, turned into one Henderson would never forget with 14.5 seconds remaining and North Carolina comfortably ahead by 12. Tyler Hansbrough rebounded a Bobby Eraser missed free throw and went up strong for the follow. Henderson appeared to attempt to block Hansbrough’s shot but instead struck the UNC forward in the nose with his arm, igniting a spurt ofblood down Hansbrough’s face and the ire of the Tar Heel faithful. Henderson was called for an intentional foul and, after the referees reviewed video of the foul, ejected from the game. “By rule, this is a flagrant foul for combative and confrontational action,” read a statement released by referees Les Jones, Karl Hess and Jamie Luckie after the game. “It is ruled a fight. By rule, it is an automatic ejection. By NCAA rule, he must sit out next game.” After the foul, Hansbrough quickly got back on his feet with blood pouring down his face. The sophomore looked ready to turn the scuffle into an all-out brawl before he was restrained by his teammates. Fans rained boos on Henderson and the Blue Devils while the referees deliberated his fate—at one point chanting “Go to Hell, Duke!” The Dean Dome erupted when Henderson was officially ejected and escorted into the locker room. “Tyler pumpfaked, got our guys in the air, and I came down on him,” Henderson said. “It was unfortunate that it turned out like it did. I wasn't trying to hurt the kid or anything. It just turned worse than it was.” Head coach Mike Krzyzewski did not believe the foul was intentional and hoped the ACC wouldreview the play before issuing a suspension. Reached late Sunday night, ACC Coordinator of Men’s Basketball Officials John Clougherty said, however, that the decision is final and Henderson will not play Thursday against N.C. State.

THE CHRONICLE
For the first time since 2003, Duke sent divers to the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships, where the Blue Devils competed in a three-day event that ended Sunday. “It was fun to be the new kid on the block and make an impact this year,” said assistant coach Andy Scott. “I was very pleased with how we dove., People were

happen.”
As for the Duke men, sophomore Nick Campisano finished 23rd out of 41 divers Friday with a 261.90 on the one-meter board while freshman Eric Winnard snagged 30th with a 249.20.

They finished 23rd and 34th, respectively. “It was really fun to be competing at that level,” Campisano said. “The competition there makes you step up to the
plate.”

The women’s and men’s track teams won an unprecedented four events and finished in fourth and 12th place, respectively, at the ECAC/IC4A Indoor Championships this weekend in Boston, Mass. In total, 21 Blue Devils earned individual All-East honors. Senior Dan King began the weekend by setting a school record of 21.63 in the 200-meter trials. King also finished fourth in the 400meter final, despite getting clipped from behind and almost falling at the start of the last lap. He was awarded All-East honors for his performance in the 4x400 relay as well as the 400-meter run. “It was a remarkable display of running,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “He clearly established himself as the best indoor 400-meter runner Duke has ever had.” Junior Tyler Clarke became the first Blue Devil to win an IC4A championship by taking first place in the heptathalon.
After strong performances in the hurdles and pole vault elevated him from eighth place to first, he was able to hold on to the top spot in the final event —the 1000meter run —and win the championship. The women had their share of success as well, winning three ECAC championships and earning nine individual AllEast honors. Senior Sally Meyerhoff won the 5000meter run and qualified for the NCAA Championships next weekend in Fayetteville, Ark. Junior Lara Jones won the ECAC title in the pole vault with a jump of 12 feet and 7.5 inches. Jones tied for the best height with three other athletes, but was named the winner because she converted more first attempts than anyone else. The women’s 4xBoo-meter relay team, which won its race by 0.04 seconds over Cornell, clocked the third-fastest time in school history at 8:56.43. Next weekend, the Blue Devils will compete on the national stage at the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.

Blue Devils roll past Terps in ACC opener by
John Taddei
THE CHRONICLE
Playing their COLLEGE PARK, Md. first game following an emotional return to the field last weekend, the Blue Devils passed their first road test with flying colors. No. 2 Duke (3-0) coasted to a convincing 14-7 victory over No. 6 Maryland (2-2) Friday in Byrd Stadium. “Last week was tough to evaluate because of all the emotion,” Duke DUKE head coach John 7 MARYLAND Danowski said. be relaxed and we were to trying “Today, have a relaxed approach.” Nobody looked more comfortable than attackman Matt Danowski, who netted six goals on 11 shots, tying a career high he set against Army in 2005. “Anytime a player has six goals and you have seven, you don’t stand a good chance of winning,” Maryland head coach Dave Cottle said. “As an offensive player, when you score early it makes it easier to play the 1 game, and he scored early and often.’ The Blue Devils jumped out to an early 4-1 lead with 6:11 remaining in the first quarter after Danowski took a pass from midfielder Steve Schoeffel and skipped a shot past the leg of Maryland ' goaltender Brian Phipps for his second score, of the game. The Terrapins never threatened, as Duke’s defense played well despite the absence ofpreseason first-team All-American Tony McDevitt, who remains sidelined with a knee injury suffered in Duke’s home opener against Dartmouth. The Blue Devils held Maryland to just seven goals on 32 shots, while senior goaltender Dan Loftus recorded 14 saves.
“We were disappointed with how we defense last weekend,” John Danowski said of the fact that his team gave up 20 goals to Dartmouth and Denver last weekend. “It’s not about playing individually and covering your man so to speak—it’s about playing together. I thought defensively we had a better sense of how we’d like to play and a little bit more of that team concept.” Conversely, Maryland’s defense struggled to contain the Blue Devil offense, which dominated possession throughout the game. With Maryland’s top goalie, two-time All-American Harry Alford, as well as understudy Jason Carter sidelined with injuries, the freshman Phipps struggled in front of the cage, allowing 14 goals while recording 13 saves. The Terrapins’ defense did not help Phipps’ cause, as players failed to slide off their man to help whoever was guarding Danowski—a strategy that lead to the senior’s career day. “They didn’t want to come off of Zack [Greer] because of the shooter he is,” Matt Danowski said. “They weren’t going to slide, so we took advantage of that and knew how to adjust to that type of defense. Tonight happened to be my night.” After netting eight goals in Duke’s two contests last weekend, Greer was held to one goal, but he tallied three assists to bring his season total to seven. Danowski and Greer have accounted for 19 of the Blue Devils’ 44 goals this season. “You never know what to expect, but that’s the good thing about our team,” Greer said. “When some guys are getting shut off, other guys are going to step up and that’s exacdy what happened today.”

the nearby Comcast Center, some fans felt the signs had no place at the lacrosse game. “I think that this is probably one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever seen University of Maryland students do,” Maryland sophomore Amy Mackown said. “This is serious business. These are just kids out here, and they shouldn’t have people chandng stuff that brings up such a bad incident that I think they were wrongly accused of.” In addition to the security guards norrtially stationed by the entrances to the field, a group of three police officers was assigned to the area direcdy behind the Duke bench. From there, they formed a small barrier between the team and a group of seven students who playfully taunted the Blue Devils from the front row of the stands. One of the hecklers, Maryland junior Colin Hogan, said he felt the rape accusations against the three former Duke players changed his perceptions of the lacrosse team and that he feels bad for what happened to them. The group did not bring up the scandal in its taunts and concentrated on making fun of the physical appearance and play of several members of the Blue Devils’ squad. “Before the scandal I hated Duke and now I’m like, ‘Whatever, Duke’s another team,’” Hogan said. “It’s different now. But I still f—ing hate the basketball

Despite some anti-Duke sentiment in the stands,the Blue Devils emerged victorious on the road in CollegePark,
Mackown said she felt the scandal had made her more sympathetic toward the lacrosse team and that it has tempered the hostility that she would normally feel for a
team that has Duke written across its jersey.
“I find myself not being so much like ‘Screw Duke’ or ‘kick their ass’ a little less tonight than I would if we were playing the basketball team or the soccer team or any other team,” she said. “Tonight, I feel a lithe more reserved on what we’re chanting. I feel more about supporting our team than dissing the Duke team.” Junior attackman Zack Greer said after the game that although the Blue Devils heard the taunts coming their way, they did not listen to them and instead focused on what was transpiring on the field. “The heckling was pretty good, the guys did a pretty good job behind the bench,” senior Matt Danowski said jokingly. “I noticed [the signs] during the pre-game, but once you are on the field you just worry about What you have to do next. I never really hear them in general, I don’t think they’re loud enough—they need a mega.
phone maybe.”

John Danowski also
expressed his appreciation for the class he said his players displayed on the sidelines and noted the road experience as another important milestone for his players. “You can hear them, but I think the guys handled themselves very well,” Danowski said. “I can’t imagine it was any worse than what was going on last spring, when they were basically in hiding. These kids have been through things that I can’t imagine, so tonight is that next step.”
