Med student arrested on rape charge

COACH P GETS HER BLUE DEVIL DAY

for blood type mix-up

Eugene Wang THE CHRONICLE

A Duke student in the School ofMedicine was arrested by the Durham Police Department on a second-degree rape charge Saturday, University officials confirmed Sunday. Mohamad Halawi, a 23-year-old originally from Lebanon, was arrested Saturday morning and released on a $50,000 bond that afternoon, officials said. “I know there was an allegation made by another person of a sexual assault, and he was brought down to the magistrate’s office, and it thought there was enough to justify the charge,” said John Bumess, senior vice president for government affairs and public relations. The Durham Herald-Sun reported Saturday that the alleged victim was a 23-yearold woman. David Jarmul, Duke’s associvice president of news and ate communications, said the University has received no additional information about the identity of the woman. “The alleged incident occurred the evening of [April] 19th, and Duke was notified about it the next day,” Jarmul said. “Since then, Duke has been cooperating and working closely with the Durham Police Department.” Magistrate Eric Van Vleet told The Herald-Sun that he had no information regarding Halawi’s past and found no evidence of a prior criminal record. Van Vleet said the punishment for

DUHS sued Patient's family alleges error in transfusion led to death by

Jasten McGowan THE CHRONICLE

Family members of a patient who died at Duke University Health System filed a lawsuit against DUHS last month regarding an alleged transfusion of the

wrong blood type, The Raleigh News and Observer reported Saturday. Gene Edward Harrell, who suffered from non-Hodgkins lymphoma, came to DUHS for treatment in March 2005. He had a severe reaction to the erroneous transfusion—preventing a stem cell transplant to treat the disease—and later died in January 2006, the lawsuit states.According to the suit, Harrell’s cancer rapidly progressed without the stem cell treatment, leading to his death. Neither Harrell’s son, who filed the lawsuit, nor representatives of DUHS could be reached for comment Sunday. The lawsuit comes four years after the transplantation of a heart and lungs of the incorrect blood type into 17-year-old Jessica Santillan, who died after the procedures in 2003. The Santillan case prompted an array of safety reviews and policy changes by DUHS to prevent similar errors. According to the American Red Cross, human error in the transfusion process —

Bell Tower residents were not evacuated and received an e-mail about the threat several hours later. The incident added Duke to a list of schools and universities across the country that have received security threats since the Virginia Tech shootings a week ago.

V. Tech students return to campus by

Justin Pope

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLACKSBURG, Va. Still grieving and increasingly wary of the media spotlight, Virginia Tech students returned to their beleaguered campus Sunday, preparing to salvage the final weeks of a semester eclipsed by violence.

The scene on campus resembled movein day in late summer, with parents helping their children carry suitcases into dormitories. There were tears and hugs goodbye. But instead of excitement for the year ahead, there was simply determination to endure and regroup in the fall.

When classes resume Monday, the university will give students three choices: They can continue their studies through the end of the semester next week, take a grade based on what they have done so far, or withdraw from a course without

penalty.

“I want to go back. It’s justreally strange to just stop going,” said Paul Deyerle, a

sophomore from Roanoke who was helping a friend move belongings from the dor-

mitory where another close friend, Ryan Clark, was among those killed in the worst shooting massacre in modem U.S. history. A number of students living in West

Ambler Johnston Hall have asked to be relocated elsewhere. “I need to keep going back,” Deyerle said, struggling for words. “It seems like every other facet ofmy life is different now, so I have to.” A number of students said they had been drawn to the comforts of home immediately after the shooting but now were drawn back to the tight-knit Virginia Tech community. “When we hit (Route) 460 and we could see the campus, we both started crying,” said sophomore Ashleigh Shifflett, eating a picnic lunch with her sister Regan near memorials to the victims.

Earth Day festival urges sustainability Educators aim to keep tech in focus by

Joe Clark

THE CHRONICLE

Students walking across the West Campus Plaza Friday were greeted by organic foods, presentations on clean energy and a would-be Captain Planet wearing green body paint, red briefs and a planet stamped on his chest.

Members of the Duke and Durham communities gathered to celebrate Duke’s annual Earth Day Festival, which featured alternative-fuel vehicles, a backpacking clinic, live music by the Durham Academy steel drum band and sustainably grown food from local vendors. “The primary goal of the event was to highlight sustainability and the concept that individuals and businesses can use the minimal amount of resources to obtain the maximum benefit,” said event coordinator Jason Franken, a graduate student in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. The festival showcased over 40 vendors and participants who stressed environmental consciousness in some facet of their work and was visited by a large number of students walking across the Plaza throughout the day, Franken said. “I would say that what we did on Friday was a brief glance of all the different groups out there that are actually doing work to make some sort of an impact on environmental issues that affect us daily,” he added. Matt Rudolf, executive director of Piedmont Biofuels, was one of the participants at the festival to promote biodiesel fuel as a cleaner alternative to petroleum. His organization’s fuel product, which is produced entirely from chicken fat, is compatible with any diesel vehicle and can be purchased for $3.50 per gallon. “Biodiesel fuel has numerous advantages over petroleum fuel,” he said. “It’s less toxic than table salt, more biodegradable than sugar and is produced using a renewable waste product.” Rudolf added tfiat biodiesel fuel, though not the product supplied by his company, is integral to daily life at the University because it is used by all of the

Although Duke has taken measures to promote sustainability on campus, Franken said, there is always room for improvement, as with any large university. “There are a number of opportunities, many of which were highlighted at the

festival, that Duke could take to be more environmentally conscious,” he added. Like all things dealing with the environment, however, being environmentally sustainable takes more than a one-day festival on campus, Franken said. “There are opportunities that people can get involved with all the time,” he said. “Hopefully, we were able to put that spark into a few people who can make a difference in the future.”

Students often spend countless hours on Facebook and YouTube, and educators are now asking how these digital technologies can be brought into the classroom. Researchers and teachers from around the world discussed the future of learning in the digital age at a panel Saturday. The event was part of the three-day Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Advanced Collaboratory conference that began last Thursday. “We are looking at notions that young people are changing as a result of interactions with digital media,” said Julia Stasch, vice president of the Human and Community Development program at the John and Catherine MacArthur Foundation, a private and independent grant-making institution. “[Digital media] is transforming the nature of learning, how people imagine and how they develop their own identity,” Stasch said. The panel discussion began with a video that showed how people cannot survive today without some form of digital media. The question raised at the end was how to use games, videos and media as learning tools. “The world has changed and is still changing,” said Terri Mozingo, associate superintendent of instructional services for Durham Public Schools. “Educators must recognize that technology is the best tool to create learning environments.” Mozingo said educators are looking at how to define schools in the 21st century. “Whereas 25 to 50 years ago, pencil and SEE DIGITAL ON PAGE 4

New astronautics club looks to stars by

THE CHRONICLE

Many of junior Stephen Clark’s peers dreamt of working with spaceships when they were children, but Clark and 25 other engineers are now trying to make that dream a reality. Clark and several other engineering students founded the Duke chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which was officially chartered Friday in Hudson Hall. “We originally had the idea for the organization when myself and current senior Andrew Longenecker went to a regional competition for AIAA,” Clark said. “We then discovered a larger-scale interest among engineers both at Duke and at other schools.” Members of the AIAA, which comprises both undergraduates and graduates, are interested in all types of flight, including rockets, airplanes and spacecraft, said Chris Johnson, a second-year graduate student in mechanical engineering. “Aeronautics and astronautics are relatively new things at the undergraduate

level at Duke, and with this organization, we want people to get excited about it,” Johnson said. The Duke chapter of the AIAA, which Clark said he hopes will eventually include up to 40 students, will network with experts in the spaceflight industry and travel to conventions to compete against other schools. A typical competition has several parts, including a technical paper about flight and a design project, Clark said. “One possible design project could be building a functional airplane to pick up a load in one place and deliver it across the room,” he explained. Friday’s chartering ceremony, attended by approximately 30 students and faculty, featured a presentation by Steve Noneman, a project manager for NASA and a member of the AIAA board of directors. Noneman spoke about his role in planning an unmanned, exploratory mission to the moon to search for water at its southern pole that could be used to supply a possible human outpost in the future. “The manned missions we have sent to

the moon so far have been like a weekend camping trip where you can bring your own water and supplies,” he said. “What we are looking to do is like a trip to Canada for the summer. You need to find your own water there.” The mission spacecraft, which is scheduled to launch in October 2008, is completely solar-powered and will impact the moon at a high speed to look for water sources underground, Noneman said. The mission’s intent is to search for water in a crater where NASA has established that a human colony could potentially exist, he added, noting that preliminary scans indicate that there is a good possibility water will be found there. “When NASA does these kinds of. quick and dirty missions, it’s kind ofexciting,” Noneman said. The chartering of the AIAA comes soon after the Pratt School of Engineering announced the addition of a certificate in aerospace studies. The certificate will be a part of the mechanical engineering program.

Schools have a major responsibility for capturing the interest of students, particularly those at risk of dropping out, said Nancy Hester, assistant superintendent of support services for Durham Public Schools, “We have got to find away to infuse technology into the curriculum and make learning relevant to the world today,” Hester said. Provost Peter Lange said students want a more intimate connection between what they learn and what they do—between learning in the classroom and interaction in the world. “Learning continues to require a face to face along with the interface—the digital,” Lange said. Many Duke courses incorporate the use of digital technology into an academic setting. Freshman David Brunell, who participated in the Game2Know Focus, said he had to create a video podcast for his final project on the historical, social and cultural impact of video games. “Not only did we have to learn how to write about our opinions and what we learned, we also had to learn how to present that information in sound and video,” Brunell said. He said the incorporation of digital technology into his class added another dimension to learning. “I enjoyed it a lot because it added a creative aspefct to what could have been just an essay [assignment]Brunell said.

Union OKs streamlined budget The University Union Board has approved the Duke University Union’s 20072008 budget, maintaining all changes recommended in the submitted proposal, Union officials confirmed Friday. “It makes us more responsive to what people are looking for in programming on

campus, and the structure makes us more transparent and accountable,” said Union President Katelyn Donnelly, a junior. Under the new budget, leadership spending will drop from $12,500 to $3,374, and the film production budget will be reduced from $15,000 to $5,500, among other changes. Broadway at Duke will merge with the OnStage committee to form Live Entertainment, which will put on four shows

next year, down from

eight this year. Union members said they hope to bring high-profile shows to campus, despite increased costs, in order to attract more students. Minor changes were also made to the Union’s constitution to reflect how the new programming model is to work. Currendy, the programming council which consists of programming directors and some members of the executive board—reviews proposals and changes. The final decisions, however, are made by the executive board alone, Donnelly said. Next year, however, the Union will hold weekly administrative meetings with the executive board and programming directors to make programming decisions, she said. —

Approximately 26 Union members will attend these meetings, which will also be open to the Duke student body. “It’s a more responsive programming body, instead of a group of individual programmers who have a budget and do their own thing,” Donnelly said. “It builds cohesiveness.” She added that the approval process took a day longer than expected because of the number of alterations proposed. “We made a lot of changes from last [year’s budget] to this, there was quite a bit of debate and talking over the various changes,” she said. “[UUB members] were surprised; they needed further explanations of the changes, but they weren’t unhappy.”

Having lost every ACC game this season in which Bajoczky did not start, the odds did not appear to be in the Blue Devils’ favor, Wolcott, however, threw a six-inning gem that matched Bajoczky’s performance, striking out a career-high nine. “Getting a strikeout just takes pressure offyour defense,” McNally said. “You don’t have to make as many plays.” All the run support Wolcott needed came just two innings into the matchup. Sophomore Nate Freiman led off the second inning with a towering home run to left field off a 1-1 count to give Duke the first run of the game. Three pitches later, junior Brett Bardes hit a home run so high that the Terrapins’ left fielder lost track of the ball. Freshman Alexander Hassan drove the ball to right for a triple, and after sophomore Tim Sherlock struck out, freshman GabrielSaade stepped up to the plate for a chance to build on the Duke lead. Saade hit the ball deep to right center, driving in Hassan. As Saade rounded second, he tried for third, but the right fielder’s throw got to the base before he could. Nevertheless, the weekend served as an on-the-field redemption for Saade. The shortstop, who said he had been dismissed briefly for undisclosed actions and was recently reinstated, made several outstanding fielding plays in the series. “I was just excited to be back on the team,” Saade said. “We always come out here and give it all for Tony and it was good to give it to someone else finally.” team

two teams this season March 30 at Ambler Tennis Stadium, Duke cruised in doubles play and survived tough competition in singles play en route to a 5-2 win. Beginning with doubles play, Friday’s match went quite differently. While Florida State’s top-seeded duo of Jonathas Sucupira and Sam Chang remained together, the team’s two other doubles pairs switched partners. In addition, Sucupira and Chang played as the one seed in Cary, whereas they had been the second seed in Durham. These decisions by Seminoles head coach Dwayne Hultquist worked to perfection, as Duke’s David Goulet and Joey Atas, the tenth-ranked doubles team in the nation, were beaten by a score of 8-5. FSU also won the second-seeded match to earn the doubles point. “Their lineup was a little different,” Arnould said. “They had one guy who had been hurt who was playing, and one guy who had been playing before who was hurt now, so the matchups were different all around.” The Blue Devils responded well early in singles play, as Goulet dispatched of FSU’s fifth seed in straight sets to tie the score at 1-1, but that was as close as Duke would get. The Seminoles jumped out to a 3-2 lead, and FSU’s top seed Ytai Abougzir defeated the Blue Devils’ Kiril Dimitrov to clinch the match for the Seminoles. Top-seeded Virginia defeated second seed North Carolina for the conference title Sunday. Duke’s conference season ended Friday, but the team will begin play in the NCAA tournament May 11 or 12. The Blue Devils will be seeded along with all other teams in the field May 1, and now have almost three weeks to rest and prepare. “I think it will be good to rest for a few days, but we’ll get back to working out hard before NCAAs and I think we’ll be sharp,” Arnould said.

evening.

When

the whistle blew, Juras maneuvered LONGWOOD to get a good, 22 clean look at the DUKE goal and rifled a shot at point-blank range—only to have the ball deflected out, giving Imbesi her seventh save of the evening. Duke (12-2, 4-1 in the ACC) held on, running out the clock and storming the field to celebrate their 11-10 victory over the Tar Heels (13-3, 3-2) Friday night at Koskinen Stadium. With the win, the Blue Devils clinched a first-round bye in next week’s ACC tournament. “The seniors held a meeting yesterday to talk about how much this rivalry means to us,” senior attack Kristen Waagbo said. “It couldn’t have worked out any better.” The game was highly contested from the beginning, as neither team had a lead larger than two at any point in the contest. North Carolina struck first with a Juras

however, answered 11 seconds later with Rachel Sanford’s unassisted goal. The quick scoring set a trend for the first half, as both teams continued to attack at will. The Blue Devils took a 9-7 edge into halftime after Allie Johnson found the net with 17 seconds left in the first. The second period was an entirely different story. Both teams struggled to find any kind of offensive rhythm. Neither team scored for a ten-minute stretch in the middle of the half. Duke freshman midfielder Lindsey Galbride ended the scoring drought aftercapitalizing on a Waagbo assist to give the Blue Devils a 10-9 advantage. The lead lasted less than two minutes, however, as North Carolina’s Kelly Taylor scored on the Tar Heels’ fourth penalty shot of the night to knot the score at 10. After a five-minute offensive drought, Duke leading scorer Caroline Cryer took a pass from behind the net and banged in what turned out to be the game-winning score with 5:59 left. The Blue Devils thenrelied on their defense to record their fourth consecutive victory over North Carolina. “I think that we did our best to anticipate what UNC would do after halftime,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “Our defense did a great job of sliding and doubling.” Leading the defensive effort was Imbesi, who was solid in the net. The sophomore made two clutch saves in the last four

minutes to preserve the win. “I knew that our team worked really hard,” Imbesi said. “I didn’t want the game to go into overtime.” The match turned out to be extremely physical, with 51 fouls called and three players given yellow cards. The most serious of these occurred when Duke midfielder Carolyn Davis collided with the Tar Heels’ Caidin Young at 20:36-mark in the first half. Both players were motionless on the ground for several seconds. In the end, however, the team believes the physical nature of Friday’s game was good practice for its upcoming postseason run. “We definitely expected an incredibly physical game,” Kimel said. “It’s great preparation for the ACC tournament.” Duke followed up Friday’s emotional win with a 22-6 drubbing of Longwood (312) Sunday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium. The Blue Devils took a 16-3 lead into intermission and continued their dominance after halftime to remain unbeaten at home this season. Waagbo, who now has 34 total assists on the season, broke her own single-season assists record during the contest. With two more wins this weekend, Duke continued to gain momentum for the conference tournament, which starts

Thursday.

“We’re playing our best lacrosse of the season,” senior defender Michelle Menser said. “We feel very confident.”

McCallie looks to bring passion to Cameron by

Ben Cohen

THE CHRONICLE

Joanne P. McCallie first fell in love with Duke in 1982 when she toured the campus on a recruiting visit. Even though she was enamored with the school, her mother convinced her to spend her playing days at Northwestern. Twenty-five years later, however, McCallie finally followed her heart. McCallie was introduced as Duke’s fourth women’s basketball headcoach at a press conference in Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday afternoon. She said the Duke position has been her “dream job” since she started coaching in 1988. “This is amazing,” McCallie said. “It’s an amazing opportunity for which our family is so, so grateful. I can’t tell you how thrilled we are.” At Michigan State, McCallie led the Spartans to the 2005 National Championship game and was named 2005 Associated Press National Coach of the Year for her efforts. Before turning the Spartans into title contenders, she guided Maine .to six straight , NCAA Tournaments. She has been a head coach for 15 years, posting a lifetime record of 316-148. From the very beginning of her press conference, McCallie stressed the importance of family in her life. Her husband, John, was an economics professor at Michigan State, and they have two young children. That strong sense of family is something that the Duke players embrace. “She’s a wonderful family person,” junior Emily Waner said. “She walked in yesterday, and the very first thing she did was introduce her family to us. We are a family here, so I think that those values are important to all of us.” One of McCallie’s defining traits is her ability to increase attendance at home games. She set attendance records in four ofherlast five years at Michigan State. The Blue Devils filled Cameron to capacity just twice last season, in home victories over Maryland and North Carolina: The new coach said her goal was to sell-out the stadium for 10 straight games.

the job.

That surprising development shifted the committee’s attention from Berkeley to East Lansing, Mich. McCallie said that Duke gauged her interest in the job, and she immediately jumped at the opportunity, despite the fact that she recently signed a contract extension at Michigan State.

“When the job was clearly open, I talked my husband. I wanted that job,” McCallie said. “Duke did not have to come searching for me and ask too many questions. I believe I made it very clear that I wanted the job.” Since the start of the search process, the Duke players expressed a strong interest in having an active role in finding their next coach. Sophomore Abby Waner was the leader in this endeavor. She met personally with Boyle and McCallie and often served as the link between the team the administration. On Friday, though, the focus was on the fixture rather than the past. McCallie will to

Although McCallie has knocked off almost every big name in women’s basketball, she never beat Duke. For her, the remedy to that problem was simple. “Might as well join them,” McCallie said. “Can’t beat ‘em? Join 'em.”

Blue Devils falter

final day to fall to fourth by

Madeline Perez THE CHRONICLE

JAMES

RAZICK/THE CHRONICLE

Senior Jake Grodzinsky led the Blue Devils in the third round of his final ACC tournament Sunday.

After a strong finish to the second round of the ACC championships, the Blue Devils found themselves within two strokes of leader, and eventual co-champion, No. 13 Georgia Tech. But in the final day of play Sunday, No. 26 Duke was plagued by inconsistent putting and slipped from second to fourth on the leaderboard. Following two consecutive 2-under 2865, Duke failed to match its previous success, ending the day at 3-over-par and giving the team a final score of 1-under 863 to tie with No. 23 Florida State. “Today just wasn’t our day,” interim head coach Brad Sparling said. “We played OK the first two days, but on the last day we just made a couple of mental mistakes and couldn’t make our putts when we needed to.” Leading the Blue Devils in the final round was Jake Grodzinsky, who was the only Duke player to shoot under-par for the day with a 3-under 69. Grodzinsky struggled the first two rounds of the tournament, carding six bogeys while shooting only five birdies. The senior began the final day successfully, however, with an opening birdie, and then followed it with three more on the sixth, eighth and 11th holes. Grodzinsky finished the tournament in ninth place with a 1-under 215, giving him his highest finish since the Fighting Illini Invitational in September. “I was really happy for Jake to finish ninth in his final ACC championships,”

Sparling said. “He had a lot of putts inside

of ten feet and led us down the final stretch.” track Junior Michael Schachner was onfinish, rounds for a the first two top-10 in but putting errors overwhelmed him in the final round. Although Schachner carded 14 birdies for the tournament, his three double-bogeys in the final round dropped him from sixth to 12th place at even par. Also unable to repeat his success from the first two days was junior Clark Klaasen, who slipped from sixth to 30th place after shooting two double-bogeys and three bogeys. After firing two rounds of 1-under 71s, Klaasen ended the tournament at 4over-par. Freshman Adam Long finished in 15th with a 1-over 217, after previously holding the tenth spot on the leaderboard. Fellow freshman Jeff Edelman batded allergies the entire weekend to finish the tournament at 11-over-par.

The Blue Devils will now have time to

Regional championships begin May 17. Sparling said that the break will allow the players to shift their attention away from the golf course to aca-

demics to finish the semester. “Their focus right now is to finish the semester strong,” Sparling said. “In terms of working on individual things, we’re improving every week, and we know that one of these tournaments will be our chance to break out. We have a really good team, but we just need the day when our putts fall, and we’ll be able beat any team in the

Offense shows weakness in win by

John Taddei

Attackman Zach Greer scored five, goals as the No. 3 Blue Devils (11-2) overcame sloppy offensive play to defeat No. 19 Army 11-5 Saturday at Koskinen Stadium. The Black Knights (6-6) kept pace with a superiBlue Devil squad for much of the game before or Duke pulled away late in the second half. Looking lackadaisical and imprecise on offense, Duke relied on its transition game to score a majorARMY ity of its goals. The Blue DUKE Devils threw away a number of passes and made mistakes that had generally-reserved head coach John Danowski visibly frustrated on the sideline. “We don’t move our feet when we throw the ball, we telegraph our passes, we don’t handle the ball well in traffic and we’re not aggressive at times,” Danowski said. “We’re not a very good offensive team. Offensively right now, in fact, we’re probably average Although Duke failed to put forward its best offensive effort, the Blue Devil defense looked solid as it stymied an active Army offense that fired shots quickly and often. Duke surrendered just two firsthalf goals and shut out the Black Knights in the second period, taking pressure off an offense that managed just five scores of its own in the opening two quarters. Danowski attributed the defense’s consistency to its mastery of a team approach to containing the opposition’s offense and its ability to slide and recover as a unit—a fluidity the offense did not exhibit. “Our defense stepped up and shut them down,” Greer said. “Our [offense] needs to step up a little bit, especially our six-on-six game. A lot of the goals we scored were from the transition and from the ”

ride, but we didn’t really generate much six-on-six, so we have to get better at that.” Attackman Matt Danowski echoed Greer’s concerns and expressed his disapproval with the offense’s performance, even in the wake of Duke’s fifth straight win. Duke scored 11 goals on 41 shots, a ratio just a few points lower than its season average of 28 percent. “We’re not where we need to be at this point in the season, definitely,” Danowski said. “It’s a good win, we take it and move on, but we need to be better, especially offensively.... We have to take care of the little intricacies of the game and play more consistendy. It’s something we haven’t been doing all season, and it showed today.” Despite the captain’s and coach’s belief that Duke’s win over the Black Knights exposed troubling deficiencies within the team’s play, the Blue Devils continue to field one of the nation’s top offenses statistically. Duke sports the sixth-best scoring offense with 149 goals on the season and stands in seventh in scoring margin, netting 4.38 goals more then their opponents on average. Still, John Danowski was worried about his team’s ability to compete with No. 10 North Carolina. Since Duke’s 9-7 victory in Chapel Hill March 17, the Tar Heels have looked strong, defeating No. 7 Johns Hopkins 14-8 and dropping a 10-9 overtime decision to No. 4 Virginia. “You’re looking down the pike and you’re looking forward to Friday night, and if we play like that offensively Friday, there’s no game on Sunday,” Danowski said. “Going in, we’re underdogs in that [North Carolina] game, certainly.” Danowski took responsibility for the offense’s lack of preparedness at this point in the season and said the problem “falls squarely on [his] shoulders.” “My teaching, or whatever it is, I haven’t gotten to the guys,” Danowski said. “I’m struggling with that. I’m disappointed in myself.”

Despite being one of its top performers, Matt Danowski expressed his concern over the Duke offense and its recent play after Saturday home win over Army.

TRACK AND FIELD

Lewis shows growth in spring game Duke reaches new personal bests at ACCs by

Stephen Allan THE CHRONICLE

After Saturday’s game at Wallace Wade Stadium, head coach Ted Roof said running the spring scrimmage was like having to constandy change his cap. Every time the defense made a solid play, the coach was happy with its effort but wanted more from the offense. “As a head coach, you got two hats on—one, ‘How can we do that [offensively]?’, the second, ‘All right, good [for the defense],’ Roof said. ‘You can’t win, and you can’t lose.” In the intra-squad scrimmage, the defense used a 21-0 opening spurt to establish a comfortable lead and staved off the offense’s late rally for the win, 47-46. The game was designed with a modified scoring system that allowed both the offense and defense to record points on each play based on accomplishments during that play. The coaches broke the matchup into three situations: first down plays, third down plays, and a “blue zone” series in which they placed the ball at the defense's 14-yard line, each section lasting 12 plays. “I thought there was some good competition from both sides, and we played everybody,” Roof said. “There were some good things and some things we still have to work on to be a good football team next year.” One place to start would be the opening performance by the offense. Over the first eight plays, the offense gave up three sacks, fumbled the ball away for a touchdown by linebacker Mike Tauiliili and racked up four total yards. However, once the offense began clicking, several players who had not played well or much lastyear began making their mark. Thaddeus Lewis completed 13-of-21 passes for 169 yards and one interception. The interception, however, was more a result of linebacker Charles Robinson’s effort than it was a poor throw by Lewis. Lewis shined most on the shorter passes, as he hit his targets on slants and hooks with crisp throws. The receivers also made their mark on the game. Junior Ryan Wood, who did not catch a pass last year, finished with

Surgan nailed all three of his kicks with pinpoint accuracy. ‘You can go one of two ways,” Wood said of the team’s approach to this season ‘You can go in the corner and feel sorry for yourself, or you can pick yourself up and say, ‘We’re going to suck it up, we’re going to move forward and go to practice every day.’ ”

The men’s team scored 29 points and finished in 11th place while the women’s team totaled 45 points to finish ninth. “We had a really good meet,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “Our athletes really competed well, and we’re really pleased wtth how things went.” One of the highlights of the weekend was Kevin McDermott’s fifth-place finish in the 3000-meter steeplechase. His time of 9:03:73 was 12 seconds better than his previous best and the fastest by a Duke athlete since 1977. “[Kevin] was very tough and aggressive,” Ogilvie said. “It was the best race he’s run since he’s been at Duke.” lan Cassidy also qualified for the NCAA Regionals after clearing 16-feet, 6.75-inches in the pole vault to finish fifth. Freshman Mike Schallmo used his third and final attempt in the discus to set the second-best mark all-time for Duke and earn a fifth-place finish. And in perhaps the biggest surprise of the weekend, freshman Mike Kotecki, a walk-on, improved his personal best in the high jump from 6-feet, 2-inches to 6-feet, 6.75 inches to finish sixth overall. On the women’s side, freshman Kate Van Buskirk had a personal best performance in the 1500-meter run.

In the 5000-meter race, sophomore Maddie McKeever and senior Liz Wort finished in second and fourth places, respectively. McKeever and Van Buskirk were both awarded All-ACC Honors for finishing among the top three in their events.

forces in our society dissolving the common bonds that hold us together. As a columnist I have endeavored, as best I can, to stand up for American values and expose those, such as the lacrosse persecutors, who hold them in contempt. In so doing, my goal has always been to change minds and open eyes. I realize that this is a long and difficult process and that there is only so much one can do in two years. I just hope to have shifted the debate a little in the right direction. To all who have read my columns, I sincerely thank you, and to those who have supported my writings and activism in my time here at Duke, I owe you a true debt of gratitude. You’ve always had myback and I’ll always have yours. And stand together we must, as this is a perilous time for America. Inside our borders, the nation of E Pluribus Unum threatens to be fractured across ethnic lines by racial animus and divisive multiculturalism. We suffer from sagging patriotism, growing malaise and a loss of faith in the noble history and principles that have made us great. Abroad, we face an enemy the likes of which we have never known, that believes spilling our blood will open the door to eternal salvation. Yet we are apathetic. Ronald Reagan’s warning has never been more poignant—that if we should fail, “history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.” From the green fields of Lexington and Concord to the distant shores of Inchon and the burning deserts of Iraq, the earth is stained wet with the blood of American heroes who died in defense of our people, our country and the cause of freedom. And if the American nation is to survive, and the cause of freedom along with it, then her people must love and protect her. History is filled with great nations now long gone. Tomorrowis promised to no one. We must remember that America is a living thing, with a beating heart. She is not simply some abstract ideal, but the very embodiment of the American people. Her greatness lies in us. Her perseverance, or her downfall, lies in us. History has bestowed you and I with a great blessing. We live in a country many would—and have—given everything to be a part of. This blessing, however, comes with a burden, for it falls on oUr shoulders to preserve the “last best hope ofmankind.” Just as it was in our earliest days as 13 colonies, only united can we shoulder th*e burden. Only united, will our beloved republic endure. .And God willing, may it be so.

speak truthfully

or even clearly, but instead in a fashion that is politically correct. These politically corStephen rect dictates are anathema to Amerimilier time can values, yet many Americans have sadly surrendered to them a long time ago. The price for this surrender has been immense. Consider the realm of issues where political correctness most strangles the debate—race. For many at Duke, the last year offered a horrifying tutorial in the moral bankruptcy of the left’s politically correct orthodoxy and the corruption of our culture at its hands. Three of our peers faced a devastating year-long persecution because they were white and their accuser black. Imagine that Collin, Reade and David had been black students, accused of raping a white girl and that they faced a witchhunt led by a prosecutor re-elected thanks to the overwhelming support of the white community. Then imagine this witchhunt was supported by hordes of student protesters, prominent white activists and a large portion of an elite campus faculty, many of them affiliated with the European Studies Department. Imagine also that the University president suspends the almost all-black sports team of which these students are members and fires their black coach. Further imagine that the accuser in the case has continually changed her story from the first night, that there is no evidence against the players, that they’ve cooperated with the police and passed polygraphs and that extensive evidence exists to prove their innocence. You think thatscenario would have lasted for a year? Try a week. To understand the lacrosse tragedy as simply the result of a rogue district attorney would be a grave revision with dangerous consequences. Ignoring the racial and political agendas that propelled the case from the beginning, and our politically correct culture that paralyzed the powers that be from stopping it, not only would invite further disaster in the future, but also would mean erasing culpability from those people and

lettertotheeditor What have we learned from Rwanda? “As always, [U.S. public officials] looked to oped pages of elite journals, popular protest, and congressional noise to gauge public interest. No group or groups in the United States made Clinton administration decisionmakers feel or fear that they would pay a political price for doing nothing to save Rwandans,” writes Samantha Power in A Problem from Hell. This is why we must remind our elected officials in light of another genocide, so they may not cite the absence of public support as grounds of inaction. There is indeed something we can do. By making noise, we can increase their political cost of inaction. First of all, the government ofSudan uses foreign revenue to fund genocide. Up to 80 percent of oil revenue supports the Sudanese military. Duke, alongside many American universities, has withdrawn all direct investment from companies complicit in genocide,, which are largely oil, mining and arms industries. Now it is time for Congress to allow targeted divestment as well. Introduced March 8, the Sudan Divestment Authorization Act (Senate Bill 5.831) would allow state and local governments to divest

never thought it would be so hard to write my senior column. I figured I’d have so much to say, so much wisdom to impart, so many stories to tell and so many experiences to share. And I do have all those things. But still as I sat down to write this, I found myself staring at a blank page for hours. I consulted friends and looked through old pictures, but I still could not seem to figure out how to express in words what the last four years have meant to me. And then it occurred to ITIIKG van pGIt me that maybe there was a reason why. senior column Maybe it was the notion of having to write my senior column that was getting to me. It symbolized the end. It means I’ve reached the end ofmy time at The Chronicle, the end of my time in Durham and, sadly, the end of my college years. I’m not ready for this all to end. When I finished high school, I left behind the greatest group offriends any kid could ask for growing up. We had been through everything together from kindergarten on. And while moving on to college was a bittersweet transition, I always knew that when I returned home for breaks we would get together and do the same things we had always done. But I won’t have that same luxury with my Duke friends. There won’t be Winter Breaks when we all reunite in Durham and relive our past experiences. Once We leave here, there won’t be one place that we all call home. Instead we’ll be working and going to school in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and other cities across the country and around the world. A friend recendy said to me, “We’ll never all be together again.” As much as I hope he’s wrong, it’s frightening to think that he might be right. At the very least, we’ll never be together like this again—as carefree college students, enjoying the freedoms of college life and everything that Duke has to offer. I’ll never again eat a burrito or quesadilla at Cosmic after a long night of drinking with friends at Sati’s. I’ll never again play stickball and host barbecues with fraternity brothers in Few Quad. And I’ll never again sit around 301 Flowers with fellow Chronicle editors doing absolutely nothing—while having a great time doing it—until ungodly hours of the morning. I’ve seen my final men’s basketball game as a Cameron Crazie after missing only one in my four years (I was out of town for an interview). I’ve been to my final tailgate, even if it was a far cry from the glory of my first. And maybe, just maybe, I’ve shotgunned my final Busch Light. I’m not ready for all these things to end. I’m not trying to suggest that Duke is perfect. There are some things that need improvement, but I haven’t let them detract from my overall experience. I’ve tried to make the most of my time at Duke because like most of us, I only had four years. That’s why I’ve thrown myself so completely into my passions—whether it was The Chronicle, my fraternity, my friends or occasionally my schoolwork—and I’ve tried not to let opportunities slip by. And as a result, I’ve had a heck of a ride here. I have so many incredible memories with so few regrets. I hate when people ask me if I’m excited that graduation is only a few weeks away. Because the answer is no, I’m not. Maybe some people are ready to get out of here. Ready to leave Duke and Durham. Ready to move on to bigger and—what they might deem—better things. But I’m not. I could do without the schoolwork, but the rest is going to be hard to leave behind. I wish I never had to write a senior column. I wish college could go on forever. .

state funds from businesses

complicit in genocide. Secondly, our government must also enforce implementation of the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act passed in 2006. This involves freezing

the assets of war criminals and genocidaires, as well as denying entry to U.S. ports all cargo ships and oil tankers associated with the armed forces of Sudan. Lastly, an increased U.S. contribution to the African Union is critical to expanding and bolstering the peacekeeping force. To date Sudan’s government has repeatedly undermined the African Union peacekeeping mission. The status quo of spreading violence, rape and murder is unacceptable. It is our responsibility to keep the mails coming and the phones ringing. Students should demand that our government 1) support Sudan Divestment Authorization Act, 2) better implement last year’s Darfur Peace and Accountability Act, and 3) increase funding to the African Union peacekeeping force.

Coming clean

Four

years is not enough time to experience everything Duke has to offer. With only 20 days before graduation, I started thinking about what I may

have missed out on. I have the rest of my life (and plenty of photographs) to reflect on what I did do for these four years. But now, in my final lines published in upkpc ctPUP sieve VCfCS The Chronicle, I want to advise underclasssenior column men on the things I didn’t experience and the lessons I have learned from those things. (Some of the following advice and memories won’t make sense. But that doesn’t seem to be a requirement because The Chronicle staff box is our mostread feature and it never makes sense.) I never toured Duke’s Lemur Center. I was supposed to go for my second Chronicle article. Back when I was an ambitious freshman, I reserved a tour of the facility for me and my closest friends. Minutes before I was to meet them at the bus stop, one of the top primate staffers called my phone and informed me I should “dig deeper” and find out the center’s secret, not just tour it. So I ditched my buddies for the article, which a higher editor later stole from me. Ambition stood in the way of creating a lasting memory with my friends. And a lack of ambition prevented me from ever visiting the world-renowned center again. I never locked myself accidentally in the James Joyce bathroom. Nor did I pass out on the floor, forcing the management to bust down the door. This was one of my good friends (who in an unrelated way taught me never to believe everything I’m told). There has got to be a lesson in here somewhere. I never wrote a senior thesis. I haven’t met many seniors who can truly say writing one was a good experience. My friends who chose to put themselves through this literary or scientific torture disappeared for months. I was so worried about one that I checked to see how he was doing on a regular basis. College is about education—whether that be academic or social. Don’t sacrifice one for the other. I never attended a Carolina Hurricanes game. I also never went to the State Fair or a Cats Cradle concert. Somehow I was busy the nights my friends made

these treks. Although I had fun at Duke and around Durham, I wish I had explored the Triangle more

thoroughly.

I never traversed the Duke tunnels. Perhaps it was the unappealing thought of their sewer-like conditions. Perhaps it was rumors that Duke would suspend me for several years if I was caught. Recently one friend who is a current freshman returned from the underground labyrinth with a waffle maker. Fear (specifically of the unknown and of getting caught) should never stop someone from experiencing life—and getting a free breakfast contraption. I never allowed my male friends to get away with ordering girly drinks without a snicker or a snide remark. (I’m proud of this.) I never thanked my friends for not allowing me to disappear for days in 301 Flowers without passing on a snicker or a snide remark. (I’m proud of them for sticking by me.) I never imagined life would be full of so much gray. Writing nearly 160 articles during four years at The Chronicle taught me that nothing is ever black and white. Look for nuances. Embrace the gray. I never dreamt I would sing the “Captain Planet” theme song with its creator, Ted Turner. (Nor did I ever think the billionaire would ever jokingly threaten to punch me... and it wasn’t because of my terrible singing ability.) I never thought what I didn’t experience would mean as much to me as what I did. Duke is all about achieving—even I fell into that trap at times. But as I reflect back on my college years, I find that part of who I am was shaped by learning from what I didn’t experience or cherish at the time. I never expected four years to go by so quickly. I leave with four years of smile-inducing memories, lasting experiences and deep friendships. Between my pals who joined me in the late-night Cook Out runs and the early morning hallway chats, I know I Wl have a place to crash in almost every city in the United States. Although leaving is frightening, I realize I would never change anything during my time at Duke. (Well, maybe a few nights.) Steve Veres is
