Flaherty THE CHRONICLE

RALEIGH Coach K has joined the 800 Club. As soon as N.C. State’s Ben McCauley missed a desperation three at the buzzer and Duke’s 87-86 comeback win was sealed, the Blue Devil players and coaches swarmed their head coach in celebration ofhis historic 800th win. With the victory, Krzyzewski became only the sixth Division-I head coach to hit the milestone, taking 1,064games to reach the historic total. “Eight victories would have been nice,” Krzyzewski said. “It is hard to put it in perspective right now.” With the Wolfpack dominating on the court and the scoreboard for much of the game, the odds of Duke securing the momentous win for its coach Saturday seemed long. But the team’s inspired late push in the game’s final minutes erased a doubledigit N.C. State lead to convert a probable defeat into a milestone victory. “We justreally wanted to get this win for him,” guard Jon Scheyer said. “It was something we had talked about in practice, and when we were down, I know in the back of all of our minds we were just thinking, ‘We can’t let Coach down. We’ve got to get this one for Coach.’” In his postgame press conference, Krzyzewski deferred praise to his players, coaches and family members, saying that

The Board ofTrustees approved a 4.8-percent increase in the total cost of attending Duke at its meeting Friday, among a raft of other agenda items. The increase—to be coupled with a 28-percent increase in endowment spending on financial aid for both undergraduate and graduate students—includes a 5-percent jump in undergraduate tuition and will take effect for the 20082009 academic year. “High-quality education is a costly thing,” President Richard Brodhead said at a press conference Friday. “Our tuition increase recognizes only a portion of the cost. There are two significant figures here; one is a percent increase for tuition, and one is a percent increase for financial aid.” The changes bring the annual cost of a Duke undergraduate education to $47,985 with $36,065 of that amount going to tuition.

Attorneys for the University claimed in a U.S. District Court memorandum filed Friday that attorneys for plaintiffs including 38 current and former members of the men’s lacrosse team violated state and federal ethics rules in publicizing their suit against Duke. The filing states that the plaintiffs disregarded professional conduct standards by announcing the case via a news conference, press release and Web site statement “When a Complaint contains such incendiary language, an attorney should not be permitted to hide behind the language ofthe complaint and make a statement to thepress that strings together paragraphs that are highly prejudicial,” it reads.

Live from New York, this is Hillary NEW YORK Hillary Rodham Clinton took a break from the campaign trail to thank "Saturday Night Live" for giving her candidacy a boost —although she failed to get an official endorsement from the show. Clinton's campaign has gotten a good deal of mileage out of an "SNL" sketch from a week ago in which reporters fawned over her rival, Barack Obama. Clinton brought up the sketch during last Tuesday's debate between the two candidates.

Will Ferrell's basketball LOS ANGELES comedy "Semi-Pro" dribbled to the top of the weekend box office, but it fell short of his previous blockbuster openings in the sports spoof genre, according to studio estimates Sunday. The New Line Cinema film, starring Ferrell as the owner of a fictional basketball franchise,grossed $15.3 million in its weekend debut. That was lackluster compared to Ferrell's 2006 NASCAR parody "Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," which opened at $47 million, and last year's figure skating comedy "Blades of Glory," which earned $33 million in its first weekend.

Longtime prof, 86, dies

prohibition on burning

Lloyd Borstelmann, who joined Duke’s faculty in 1953 and retired as a full professor in the Department of Psy-

chology and Neuroscience in 1986, died Feb. 23 in Roxboro at the age of 86. The longtime Durham resident suffered from senile dementia during the last few years of his life. Borstelmann received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley in 1950 and taught at Drake University and the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill before coming to Duke. During his time in Durham, he worked for two decades with the Duke Child Guidance Clinic, which is now known as the Child Development and Behavioral Health Clinic. He attended the Santa Barbara State College and the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles before enrolling in the UC-Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School ofLaw. In 1942, after spending a year studying law, Borstelmann enlisted in the Army Air Corps and returned to graduate school three years later. He is survived by his second wife, Shirley Borstelmann, and their four children—Nancy Chandler, John Borstelmann, Michael Borstelmann and Tim Borstelmann—and seven grandchildren. An informal memorial service followed by a wake will be held April 12. In lieu of flowers, family members have asked contributions to be made to the North Carolina Outward Bound School.

The sounds of latte-making and studyrelated chatter normally emanating from von der Heyden Pavilion disappeared in favor of live bongos and trumpets. ePrint stations—to the delight of many seniors in attendance—transformed into complimentary mojito bars.

The Cameron Crazies may be able to fan the flames of victory with a March 8 bonfire, pending a home win against the Tar Heels. Because of recent rains, N.C. Department ofEnvironment and Natural Resources Secretary Bill Ross lifted the statewide ban on open burning in North Carolina Saturday. The ban, which was issued Feb. 14, barred open burning and canceled all burning permits. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, announced Feb. 21 that Duke had received a bonfire permit for this Saturday’s match-up. But an e-mail to students Friday from the Office of Student Activities and Facilities and the Duke Student Government warned that as long as the burn ban was in effect, bonfires and use of water were not permissible forms ofcelebration. Although the drought persists, Ross said the winter precipitation has been sufficient to make controlled fires safe. The ban could be reinstated, however, if the National Weather Service issues a red flag warning, which alerts agencies of weather conditions that could lead to increases in wildfire activity.

“Go To Hell Carolina Week,” taking its name from that familiar, phrase and leading up to the men’s basketball game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this Saturday, will feature a series of spirit-rousing events co-sponsored by Crazies Who Care and Duke University Union. Junior Leah Fisher, co-founder of Crazies Who Care, said the idea for the week of activities came from people in her Krzyzewskiville tent brainstorming ways to get students more excited about the game. “The home Carolina game is something that you can’t duplicate the atmosphere of,” she said. “ESPN is set up in K-ville and the atmosphere is so exciting, we wanted the excitement to go on all week. Especially this year —it is [DeMarcus Nelson] and the seniors’ last home game.” The week kicked off Sunday with the Chipotle Challenge, in which 60 students ran from East Campus to K-ville in exchange for Chipotle burritos. Upcoming events include Pancakes vs. Zoubek on the West Campus Plaza today, a contest in which participants can donate a dollar to guess how many pancakes it takes to stack them as tall as sophomore Brian Zoubek. The money will be donated to the Emily Krzyzewski Family Life Center, which supports Durham youth and their families, Fisher said. DUU will present alternative-rock band

The week culminates in a “Ram Roast” Friday on the Plaza, with free food and a likeness of the UNC mascot, Rameses. “There will be a ram already roasted,” said Crazies Who Care co-founder Anders Campbell, a junior. “Probably a goat dressed up like a ram.” Some students, like junior David Sanders, said they were not aware of the events but thought it could be a good way to increase spirit. He added, however, that he thought some people were already excit-

ed, especially the tenters who “have been [in K-ville] for a while.” Sophomore Adam Nathan, DUU’s vice president of programming, said he hopes in future years there will be more events with involvement from other groups, including Campus Council. Junior Andrew Berdy said he was excited at the prospect of a new tradition. “A lot offreshmen come in and think whatever traditions are here already are untouchable, and seniors can be jaded,” he said. “It’s nice to see something real and grassroots where students can show their passion and why this is such a good rivalry.”

LAWSUIT from page 1 “What Duke is saying is, ‘Look, this publicity firm is really the alter ego working with the lawyers, so they shouldn’t be able to say things that the lawyers aren’tallowed to say,”’ Professor of Law Thomas Metzloff said. “They are making sure that the lawyers aren’t speaking through someone else.” He added that the motion is “future-oriented” and was filed to inform thejudge of the publicity that the lawsuit might attract rather than to reprimand the plaintiffs. The filing claims that the public means by which the plaintiffs announced the case may distort court proceedings. The plaintiffs have asked for a jury trial. Bork responded to the filing on the suit’s Web site. “Duke’s motion to keep information about this case out of the media is utterly meritless,” he wrote. “We will

file our response promptly.” The plaintiffs accuse Duke, Durham and several individuals of fraud in supporting the prosecution of three accused lacrosse team members in March 2006. No specific actions are requested ofjudge James Beaty in the Duke attorneys’ filing, but it does ask the court to recognize the ethics violation. The rule in question prohibits lawyers from making statements outside the courtroom that are intended to attract publicity and “have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing a court proceeding.” The same rule factored into former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong’s disbarment in Summer 2007. Metzloff, however, distinguished the claim from the process that led to Nifong’s disbarment. “It’s much more about future control of the media in this case—it’s nothing like what happened [with Nifong],” he said. “I doubt it will be a very significant moment in this case.”

scene’s caterers and metallic dresses “I wanted to see the library transform into something that has nothing to do with work,” Getliffe said between bites of a miniature fruit tart. “I’m looking forward to seeing people I don’t get to see when I’m held up here during normal hours.” Although she missed last year’s DukePlays: The Party! the library, Gettliffe said she hopes Latin Chic’s success in will encourage Duke to sponsor more on-campus events for all students. “People love to dress up, and not in the same sense as dressing for a section party,” she said. There was no shortage of heels and ties as seniors lined up around fluorescent inflatable palm trees for drink tickets. Senior Aalok Shah said he was initially reluctant to join the crowd, which more resembled a Friday night at George’s Garage than a busy library checkout counter. “It feels rather odd because going here to study feels like death to me,” Shah said. “This is actually my first time in the library in the last two years.” After making it past the winding line, students put down their refreshments to enjoy the evening’s diverse musical offerings The reference and research assistance corner echoed sounds of the Caribbean Jazz Project, a group whose tropical tunes evoked a trip to Key West—without the overpriced coconut drink holders. The help desk in Bostock Library became a salsa studio complete with bongos and “bon-bon” shaking. As more students joined in, the scene began to resemble an amateur episode of “So You Think You Can Dance.” Some administrators mingled with students on the dance floor. Dean of Undergraduate Education Steve Nowicki showed off his salsa moves in front of Bostock’s computer area with wife Susan Peters. “I’m really happy Mi Gente is taking the lead on this,” he said. “This is the best of what Duke does.” After freshening up from his workout, Nowicki made his way around the crowd, greeting students and faculty who rested on lavender tabletops. “I really liked the fact that Mi Gente mailed letters to faculty and got them directly involved,” he said. The group extended invitations to students, faculty, staff and alumni, said senior Tadina Ross, a member of Mi Gente. “The turnout is great,” she added. “Everyone looks so elegant and glamorous.” Breaking up the night’s Latin-infused music scene, student band Smooch and the Big Hug incorporated Spanish lyrics into their songs. Playing on a makeshift stage in von der Heyden, the band drew one of the largest crowds of the night. “[Performing in the library] definitely puts the place in a different atmosphere,” said Smooch guitarist William Arnold, a senior. “But I’ve never really thought about the acoustics in here.” Swaying to the beat, Melissa Mills, a 1987 Fuqua School of Business alumna and current Divinity School student, insisted Smooch’s sound was not really dance music. Nonetheless, she was laughing alongside fellow alumni. “We never had events like this when I was an undergraduate,” she said. “This is great because it includes all of the campus.”

Todd had already won through a runoff which took into account voters’ preferences for candidates by ranking the three candidates instead of simply choosing one. “Technically, I’m supposed to make a final vote [in the case ofa tie], but I’m not comfortable with that, so I had all DSG and ICC members weigh their responses,” Cody said. DSG’s Executive Vice President Jordan Giordano, a junior and former chair of the YTNC, said the ranking method is often used for Young Trustee elections because it allows for a runoff to make the final selection. Todd, who is also the president ofCampus Council, said he was not surprised the vote was close and the runoff was enacted, adding that besides the unmarked ballots, the election process was flawless. “I think all the candidates would say it went really smoothly,” he said. “That’s the only hiccup with the process l ean think of”

MARYLAND 7 In a game fea15 DUKE Curing two different styles of offense, Duke (3-0, 1-0 in the ACC) overwhelmed the Terrapins by utilizing its signature run-and-gun approach, while Maryland tried to slow down the pace of play by implementing an inverted attack. The impressive 15-7 victory at Koskinen Stadium over Maryland (2-1, 0-1) was the first for any member of this year’s squad, making the win that much sweeter. “That was important,” head coach John Danowksi said. “As you go along, you set small goals within your larger ones. That was important to our guys today. You want to be good at home—the protect-your-house concept.” Duke dominated virtually every statistical category in the first quarter—including winning eight of nine faceoffs—on its way to opening up a 6-2 lead, which forced Maryland to play out ofits element. The Terrapins like to initiate their offensive attack from behind the net and either finish on a dodge from the back or dish it off to a flashing attackman in front. But after the Blue Devils took control early, Maryland had to ditch its preferred six-on-six set in an effort to score goals more quickly. “They wanted to slow the game down because we like to play a fast-paced game,” goalie Dan Loftus said. “And by getting up early, [Danowski] said it was tougher for a team to play slow when they’re playing from behind. The biggest thing for us was to get out in front and make them play from behind.” A shining example of the Blue Devils’ up-tempo attack, in which the defense feeds the offense and sparks fast-break situations, came on the night’s play of the game. After Loftus successfully saved a Maryland shot, he immediately airmailed an outlet pass 40 yards downfield to Zack Greer, who then

zipped it to Matt Danowski as he was streaking toward the left side of die goal. The pass was a little out in front, and Danowski caught it as he was stumbling toward the ground. But Danowski flicked the ball behind his back, over his shoulder and past Maryland goalie Jason Carter to give Duke a 3-1 lead. “That was pretty cool,” Loftus said. “Once the ball gets put on the ground, the first thing we like to do is look for the middies. In that case, I made a save and got it up to Zack. We work on that everyday, just running and getting up and down the field. “We feel we’re one of the better teams in the country that wants to play fast, and everyone else just wants to slow us down.” Six different players scored to give the Blue Devils a 9-3 lead at the half, and even

though the Terrapins switched to backup goalie Brian Phipps, Maryland simply could not overcome Duke’s relentless attack. Many of the Blue Devils’ scoring opportunities came off their clears, when long-stick defensemen sprinted the ball the length of the field and created difficult situations for Maryland’s defense. “We have our defensive players handle an offensive situation,’’John Danowski said. “There are some programs that don’t do that that much, but we d 0.... We tell them straight up what we expect. Once you cross that midfield line, you are now an offensive player. You are not a defensive player just carrying the ball.” The game had been billed as Duke’s experience versus Maryland’s youth, with

the Blue Devils starting live seniors to the

Terrapins’ four freshmen. But it was Duke’s lone starting freshman Mike Manley who led the transition offense as he notched the first goal and assist ofhis career. “When he’s running down, he’s misdirecting the cage every time,” said attackman Max Quinzani, who registered his second consecutive hat trick. “So if he’s a threat, the defense has to slide to him. Then, you got to think about [Danowski], and then usually me and Greer are on the backside.... When our dear’s on, our transition offense is on. We were really clicking.” The Blue Devils have three non-conference games coming up, starting with Lehigh Tuesday, before resuming ACC play against No. 7 North Carolina at home March 15.

In his milestone win, head coach Mike

Krzyzewski showed what makes him one of the best coaches the college game has ever seen. It wasn’t his knowing how to motivate his players or how to draw up the perfect play. It was his knowing when game to step back and do nothing. analysis Facing a 13-point deficit midway through the second half against the one of the conference’s worst teams, Duke’s offense was sputtering and its defense lacking. And even though his 800th victory was at stake, Krzyzewski decided not to call a timeout, but just to let his players learn from the trying experience on their own. “Sometimes the situation allows you in this

league to make a team better by just allowing things to happen,” he said. “Not that it’s OK to lose, but ‘You guys figure it out’.... During that time they were kind of wrestling with the game and they said, ‘Okay, let’s do this now.’” And soon enough, as if a switch had been flipped, the Blue Devils woke up and stormed hack.

top-10 team, despite the fact that N.C. State was playing perhaps its best game of the season. With improved defense and more accurate shooting, the Blue Devils managed to cut the Wolfpack’s lead from 13 to five in just more than five minutes. But N.C. State refused to go away, and seemed to have a response for every one of the Blue Devils’ surges down the stretch. Hoping to complete the comeback and avoid losing its third straight ACC road game, Duke, as it has many times this season, looked to its leader DeMarcus Nelson. And the senior captain dutifully accepted the challenge. During the game’s frantic final minutes, Nelson scored 10 of the Blue Devils’ final 17 points. Twice late in the game, he nailed key 3-pointers in die corner, even once deliberately stepping back when he realized his feet were inside the arc. “Since I was wide open, I said to myself I might as well step back and hit the three,” Nelson said. “It was just about taking our shots with confidence.... When your back is against the wall, like it was, our emphasis was just to leave it all out on the court and play loose, and those shots started to fall for us.” Just as big as his 3-point shooting was his per-

off as Duke (25-3, 12-2 in the ACC) went on a furious comeback to secure a historic 87-86 win over N.C. State (15-14, 4-11) Saturday at the RBC Center. Nelson and Paulus hit 3-pointers within 30 seconds of each other that turned N.C. State’s six-point lead into a tie with just over 1:30 left in the game. Then, Nelson capped the Duke comeback by calmly sinking a pair of free throws with 1:01 remaining, giving the Blue Devils their first lead since the 7:52 mark of the first half. When the Wolfpack’s Ben McCauley missed on a desperation Jumper with time expiring, Duke players and coaches mobbed their legendary coach in congratulations of his milestone 800th win. “It was a remarkable game,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought N.C. State played superbly, and outplayed us for 32 minutes. I don’t think they played poorly in the last eight minutes, but our guys made remarkable plays.... Every one of our guys hit big shots and free throws.” Prior to those last eight minutes of the game, Krzyzewski’s team was throttled by a grittyWolfpack team that didn’t seem to miss from any spot on the court. N.C. State shot a blistering 60 percent from the floor and 67 percent from behind the arc in the first half, and the Wolfpack sank 18 straight free throws before Marques Johnson notched the team’s first miss at the 8:44 mark of the second half. Apart from an uncharacteristically strong 81-percent performance at the free-throw line, the Blue Devils struggled to find the bottom of the net for the first three-quarters of the game, with, Jon Scheyer the only Duke player creating offense on his own through dribble penetration and solid perimeter shooting. With just around 10 minutes remaining, Krzyzewski switched to his “handsoff’ approach—a move that seemed to spark the Blue Devils to a roaring comeback. “There came a point and time where he kind of let us talk,” Scheyer said. “It was pretty intense with us just talking to each other about getting stops and making plays. I think that was a big turning point for us.” After slightly chipping away at the

Duke “If you try to mimic someone’s style... you’re never going to be who you are,” Krzyzewski said. “But you can certainly try to mimic core values, teaching points, preparation —all of those things—and the type of kids you’ll recruit that will buy into that and will play really hard for that. So a lot of that comes from Coach Knight.” A grateful Krzyzewski continued by mentioning how much he had learned from his experiences coaching for 28 seasons in the ACC against some of the greatest minds in the history of the game, such as North Carolina’s Dean Smith. But on a day when his benchmark came against the team once coached by longtime friend Jim Valvano, Krzyzewski could not forget his late friend and coach-

ing colleague. “I hope my buddy Jimmy is looking down today,” Krzyzewski said. “I always

North Carolina

Once again, McCallie attributed this seasonto her team’s frame of mind. “There are multiple issues there,” McCallie said. “To me, it all spells attitude and decisiveness and a firmness about our game, and we have got to find that for next game because you cannot be successful going to the free throw line 10 to 12 times a game. We should have one player doing that, not an entire team.” Junior center Chante Black registered a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Indicative of a game where nothing went completely right for the BJue Devils, though, North Carolina’s formidable frontcourt shut down Black in the second half. She only scored two points and collected three rebounds when Duke needed her to help mount a comeback. Black acknowledged that she did not get the ball much in the game’s latter half, but put the blame for not forcing the issue on herself. “That’s one thing I want to take away from this game —to be more demanding of the ball,” Black said. “Especially when I am hitting [shots].” The Blue Devils admittedly put themselves in a tough spot heading into postseason play. Senior Wanisha Smith acknowledged that such a big loss had shaken the team’s swagger. “It kills it a little bit,” Smith said of the team’s confidence. “You do not ever want to come out and get beat this bad on someone else’s floor.” Unfortunately for Duke, they do not have much time to rebound from this loss with the first round of conference play Thursday. From McCallie’s point ofview, it will be one of the final mental tests for her team in theirrollercoaster season. “It’s a test of our character, for sure,” McCallie said. “We will find out what kind ofcharacter we have.”

long problem

CHAPEL HILL Six minutes into the game, junior Abby Waner set up behind the arc and let her shot fly. It looked true, but it hit the rim, rolled around twice, and spun out into the hands of North Carolina’s Erlana Larkins. The forward then found teammate Heather Claytor open at the opposite arc and she buried her three to put the Tar Heels up 15-8. Things only got worse for the Blue Devils. No. 2 North Carolina pummeled No. 12 Duke 82-51 Sunday night in Carmichael Auditorium. The 31-point deficit was the most lopsided Blue Devil loss in 15 years and was the Tar Heels’ largestmargin of victory over their Tobacco Road rivals since 1982. Duke (21-8, 104 in the ACC) struggled in all aspects of their offensive game, shootingjust 30 percent from the field and failing to sink any threes for the first time in 109 games. The Blue Devils finished 0-for-12 from downtown, and their 12 total assists paled in comparison to North Carolina’s 21. After the game, head coach Joanne P. McCallie had little to say, clearly displeased with the team’s leadership and focus. “We should have been more patient, we should have controlled the tempo more, and we needed a lot more leadership on the floor in order to do that,” McCallie said. “That did not occur. “I really think it’s a focus thing. You have to come ready to play, and you have to have an attitude about your game. I look at the assist number, and we need to be a team. It’s pure and simple. A team on the bench, a team on the court, a team all the time.” While they only lost the turnover and rebounding batdes by one and two respectively, the Blue Devils fell into a familiar trap and allowed the Tar Heels (27-2, 14-0) to take 30 free throws, more than twice Duke’s 14.

CHAPEL HILL As the dock ticked down with four minutes remaining, North Carolina fans began to file out of Carmichael Auditorium with the Tar Heels adding to a staggering 28-point lead. The game was decided far before the teams left the court. Aid for analysis die exhausted and down'trodden Blue Devils, the final buzzer could not come soon enough. North Carolina practically ran Duke off the court, as the Blue Devils failed to match the Tar Heels’ tempo for the majority of the game. Although Duke seemed ready for a close contest in the first six minutes, North Carolina’s speed overwhelmed and overworked its Tobacco Road rivals. “They played their game, and we didn’t fight hard enough to play ours,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. Rather than set plays and slow down the pace in halfcourt possessions, the Blue Devils rushed passes and launchedshots well before the shot clock hit 20 seconds. Even on fast breaks, they failed to score on most of their trips down the court. Each of the five Duke starters recorded at least four turnovers, with many coming on unforced errors. Had the Blue Devils capitalized on North Carolina’s numerous mistakes, the final score may not have been so onesided. Instead, as lobbed balls sailed out

of bounds and Duke players shook their heads in frustration, any chance of ruining the Tar Heels’ undefeatedACC season quickly disappeared. “We continued to play too fast,” McCallie said. “North Carolina is a better team faster right now than we are—they’ve proven that. We need to know who we are, know what we can do and do it very well. We didn't do that at all today.” After junior Abby Waner failed to connect with forward Joy Cheek for an easy bucket, Waner let out an angry scream, visibly upset over another missed chance. Although the team was only trailing 24-17, the Blue Devils never showed any sense that they were still in the game. At times, Duke slowed down the pace and began successfully setting up Cheek and junior Chante Black down low. The Blue Devils began resembling the team that defeated Rutgers and nearly beat Tennessee earlier in the year. Those moments were few and far between. .After Black kept Duke in the game during the first half with 12 points, the team stopped looking to the centerfor any production. “We had the tempo at times in the game but we didn’t capitalize,” McCallie said. “You have to come ready to play and have an attitude about your game.” Duke seemed poised to finish off the season on a high note after its last game, a 78-70 win over Virginia Feb. 24. McCallie praised their hustle and maturity for being able to —

With this devastating loss against North Carolina, however, the Blue Devils’ lack of depth and inexperience became increasingly apparent. As it begins the postseason next week, Duke will need to regroup and regain the confidence they lost to stand a chance in competing against the national powerhouses. Because if they don’t, the Blue Devils might be run right off the court, just as they were Sunday.

It’s good to be healthy, and I’ve gotten looks at a lot of different guys and different combinations.” McNally also said the back-to-back double-headers did not phase the Blue Devils’ deep pitching staff of 17.

As Columbia knotted the score at one with a two-out, 3-2 solo home run to force the first game into the bottom of the ninth, sophomore Gabriel Saade answered with

a game-ending single of his own to score shortstop Jake Lemmerman from second for the 2-1 victory. A consistent scoring effort over five innings sealed game two, 11-3, for Duke, while Saade homered and drove in two runs in Duke’s 4-1 game three victory. The Blue Devils sent home Columbia with a resounding 19-5 takedown on Sunday, highlighted by an eight-run seventh inning in which Duke batted around to send a total of 13 hitters to the plate. “Hitting is contagious. Offense is contagious and that was exciting—a lot of guys contributed,” McNally said. After a midweek game with Valparaiso Wednesday, the Blue Devils look forward to starting conference play with No. 5 North Carolina Friday.

ROTC from page 5 as artillery simulators, aircraft and firearms—including real Ml 6 assault rifles with blank rounds. Planning also included doing a reconnaissance of the area, relaying orders to the participants and allowing them time to rehearse. “You have to come up with the general idea, and then figure out how you are going to pull it off, and then you have to communicate with everybody,” Frank said. Harless and the mission’s Assistant Platoon Leader Amanda Carpenter, a junior, also spent considerable time planning for the simulation. Harless said the BLUEFOR spent time rehearsing actions of the four special teams headed up by squad leaders, which included groups to deal with casualties, enemy prisoners of war and civilians on the battlefield. Each team had a primary role and a secondary role in case one of the other teams needed assistance. “I had to really rely on the subordinate leaders and use the chain of command,” Harless said.

He added that planning was only a part of successfully completing the mission. “No matter whatthe planning was, once things get going it’s not really about what you have prepared,” he said. “It’s more about how people have been trained to react” The simulation took place at a Military Operations on Urban Terrain site, which consisted of a fake town with a school, hotel and city hall among other buildings. Cotter said the mock mission gave ROTC members a great chance to practice. “We have a two-hour lab every week,” he said. “It’s kind of nice to see that training in effect.”

TRUSTEES from page 1 academic year was $34,365. The University previously announced a 17-percent increase in financial aid, to $B6 million, after the Trustees’ December meeting. The Board approved sweeping increases in financial aid at that meeting. Since the announcement, elite universities across the country have unleashed a barrage of financial aid upgrades, many of them going farther than Duke’s. “There are [institutions] who have more resources and have the ability to do more, and that will not change in my lifetime,” said Board Chair Robert Steel, Trinity ’73. “I think the thing we should be proud of is that the administration put us on the front foot of this issue.” Brodhead said the University would continue monitoring its financial situation and the needs of students when considering future adjustments. Also Friday, the Trustees barred the Duke Management Company from investing its funds—comprising $8.2 billion in University endowment and other assets—in companies that engage in business with the government ofSudan. The move puts Duke in step with other U.S. universities who have made similar decisions. Because the University does not currently have any investments that would be prohibited, the ban will have no immediate impact. “We say of our endowment that our highest priority is to have the highest earnings we can [in order to support our academic mission],” Brodhead said. “Nevertheless, there are cases where ethical and social issues are raised where one wants to deal with those things.” The resolution marks the first action resulting from a recommendation of the President’s Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility, established in 2004. Steel and Brodhead also commented briefly on recent lawsuits alleging wrongdoing on the part of the University in the Duke lacrosse case. When asked if he could unequivocally state that no revelations about conspiracy would emerge from the suit, Steel declined to comment directly. “I think that this is the way in which disputes are resolved and organized,” he said. “We’ve said at the time of the announcement that we believe the legal strategy to attack Duke is misdirected and without merit. I think’s that’s really where we are. Period.” After the Friday morning meeting, the Trustees held a retreat at the Washington Duke Inn Friday afternoon and Saturday.

Duke. It is a milestone for the University as well. Krzyzewski’s 1991 and 1992 NCAA Championship wins and the triumphs that followed helped catapult Duke athletics to the status it enjoys today. As the University made itself known for the quality of its academics, basketball wins added a priceless boost to Duke’s image that accelerated the University’s rise. Krzyzewski has received a generous share of publicity and praise for his accomplishments at Duke, but above all he has become inseparable from Duke’s identity and spirit. His presence on campus is enormous —he has enchanted both students and administrators.

Eight victories would have been nice. It is hard to put it in perspective right now.

crucial support. Where would Krzyzewski be without his “sixth man,” the students-turned-Crazies who bleed Duke blue and annually set up a small tent city in his name? It’s this passion—obsession, perhaps —that many students have for their team and their coach that make Krzyzewski’s program truly special. With 800 wins, Krzyzewski has another testimonial to his impressive ability to manage a team and his endurance as a model of coaching excellence. As Duke and Krzyzewski race towards the milestones ahead, they will both continue to benefit from the University-coach relationship that has helped to define Duke. '

Kanye

West and 50 Cent. Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. Captain Ahab and Moby Dick. These are just a few of the greatest rivalries

in recent history. This week culminates in the final

home game of the AD SPACE season between the 545,000/year Duke Blue Devils FOR RENT and the UNC Tar Heels, a rivalry AskMen,com rated as the best in all of monday, monday sports. Now that’s but seriously1 Knstm research, Butler. But seriously, for me, the best part about rivalries are the intense debates that take place between the two sides. It’s the type of discussion Lincoln and Douglas could have only dreamt about. Fans come up with cockamamie reasons why their team is better, like arguing that it’s actually advantageous that their coach doesn’t have 800 wins. In that spirit, I thought I’d settle three of the most trivial debates currently taking place (or not) on Duke’s campus. 1. The Thing I vs. The Thing II Pauly Dogs is a staple of the West Campus Plaza, serving up the best in medium-rare lunch fare. However, I am constandy asking myselfwhich topping style I should choose. For many, it comes down to The Thing I (chili, cheese, BBQ sauce, garlic and red pepper seasoning and Texas Pete) and The Thing II (sauerkraut, raw onion, spicy mustard, Texas Pete and soy sauce). So, which cuisine reigns supreme?Let’s look at the individual topping match-ups to decide a winner. Cheese vs. Raw Onions: A tough one. Cutting both is associated with watering eyes, which certainly isn’t a plus. However, only one of these items can be used as a metaphor to describe “Shrek.” Raw Onions take Round L Chili vs. Sauerkraut: Let’s see, both are made in large crock-pots and often contain unidentifiable ingredients. Chili has a restaurant chain and rock band named in its honor. That seems pretty unstoppable. But wait, The Seatde Times reports that sauerkraut may cure bird flu. Down goes chili! Down goes chili! Garlic & Red Pepper Seasoning vs. Spicy Mustard: Only one side is represented in the game Clue, and I am not referring to rejected character Monsieur Garlic. Unfortunately, the spicy condiment is no match for die tag-team of garlic and red pepper. Texas Pete vs. Texas Pete: Pete and Pete. I feel like I’m watching Nickelodeon in third grade. It’s an instant KO of the taste buds. This one handily goes to Texas Pete. BBQ Sauce vs. Soy Sauce: The classic battle of East vs. West. It’s Kikkoman vs. KC Masterpiece. My New Haircut vs. My New Haircut: Asian Edition.

Well, I just flipped a coin and soy sauce it is. Winner: (Sound ofDavid stalling) Um, I think I’ll just get a dog with ketchup.

2. Perkins vs. Bostock Everybody has his or her favorite library, whether it’s the constant commotion of Perkins or the subdued seclusion of Bostock. If you’re looking for a place to people-watch, Perkins is the library for you. I mean, Bostock is walked through about as frequently as the Great Wall of China is, David

Copperfield notwithstanding. Although Perkins may lay claim to five times as many volumes as its newer neighbor, Bostock can

actually boast of a far more unusual collection. For example, Bostock contains the two shortest books ever written, “Career Opportunities for English Majors” and “1,000 Years of German Humor.” Winner: Neither. This contest clearly goes to Lilly. Has anyone on West Campus ever heard ofDVDs? 3. The Roots vs. Third Eye Blind vs. Frontier: A Tribute to Journey There is enormous (read: made-up) debate about who is the best of the three main LDOC performers this year. I think it’s best if we look at how the three acts stack up in several different categories. Awards History The Roots; Nominated for six Grammys and won two. Third Eye Blind: Attended the Grammys twice. Frontier: A Tribute to Journey: Bass guitarist refers to his grandmother as “Grammy.” Most Famous for. The Roots: Their jazzy sound and live instrumentation Third Eye Blind: Providing the soundtrack to our elementary school years. Frontier: A Tribute to Journey: Covering that song from the “Sopranos” finale Musical Influences The Roots: Nas and Jay-Z (Oops, I forgot to change this one after Lupe Fiasco canceled) Third Eye Blind Ring tones and people who use nonsensical words (Sorry, I forgot to change this one after Soulja Boy dropped out) Frontier: A Tribute to Journey: Umm... Journey Winner: Duke students. This is easily the best LDOC lineup in more than a decade. Of course, that too is up for debate. David Distenfeld’s 1 the title for this column.

CHRONICLE

Show me the money!

the party in the library Friday, I passed President Richard Brodhead puttering through the crowd. I had a momentary desire to put my hand on his shoulder, look into his eyes and say “Dick, I support you.” I’m sure it’s something he doesn’t hear very often, and I thought it might buck him up. Fending off lawsuits probably takes a toll on a man. I’m speaking of course of the pending suit leveled against Duke by a recent alumna. Maybe I’m in the minority, but when I read about lawsuits demanding money to address “emotional distress,” I have more sympafrank holleman thy for the person being sued than the aggrieved person. into the fire To be fair, I actually think this is a really interesting case. It brings up several valid questions about our judicial process at Duke and in America. For instance, how can we guarantee fair judicial proceedings in a private •institution, and how should they work in the first place? Should a father who happens to be a lawyer represent his daughter in court? Should people use very public lawsuits as away of strong-arming other people into submitting to their will? Most importantly, though, should this sort of proceeding be used to address emotional distress? Liability is a fine line to walk. There are cases where lawsuits are totally appropriate. For instance, imagine that Student Health had negligently given this alumna medicine that she was allergic to and nearly killed her. In that case you can point to monetary costs, physical harm and negligence bordering an criminality. But in a case where the damages you claim are emotional, I think it’s harder to point to anything of substance. Is “Duke made me cry” justification for a cash prize, courtesy of other students’ tuition? I tend to think it isn’t. First of all, from what I’ve seen, money and emotional security are typically polar opposites. At the very least, I don’t think being handed money helps someone get over being upset, unless they’re below the age of 10. I’m not comfortable with the belief that the storm and stress of a court case, with the possibility of a cash jackpot, heals emotional wounds. But that’s not the only problem lawsuits like this bring up. It’s true that if professors become targets for lawsuits because the students they give bad grades become upset, they might not grade appropriately. But for me, the real concern is that a legal process where feelings like sadness, anger or distress can be exchanged for thousands of dollars will only attract a certain type of person to be a trial lawyer; I mean the type who sees the judicial process not as away to find truth or expose wrong-doing, but as away to make money from little basis. Don’t get me wrong, I think most trial lawyers are good and honest people. From what I’ve heard, you usually don’t go through the hell of law school unless you have some concern higher than money. And I’ve known enough lawyers ter say that for most of them, manipulating the system for personal gain is the last thing on their mind. That’s why I always cringe at lawyer jokes, because so few of them are true. So I think the last thing in the world we should do is incentivize lawyers to act like they do in those misleading jokes. That will eventually corrupt the whole system into a veritable cash lottery, and may have already. This case will be a test of whether it has. What I imagine will happen with it is that Duke’s administration will settle out of court, which is probably what the alumna and her father expect to happen. If that is what happens, then Duke will avoid the embarrassment of a court case while the alumna will probably get some amount of money. If there are any problems with the judicial system at Duke, I imagine they won’t be reviewed or addressed in a public way, and if even if the lawsuit is total junk, it will still gain the alumna a hefty check. So she’ll get something she wants, the University will avoid something unpleasant, and the altruistic motivations about reforming the judicial process the alumna’s father talks about will be thrown by the wayside. Justice is served?

rid ofthe shamanism major

winter, the Board of Trustees approved a new major: Shamanism. OK, well it wasn’t really shamanism. But when I saw the Board had approved dance as a new major, I thought it might as well have been shamanism —at least in some important r-r^T

respects Some explanation is needed. Bear with me wheeler for a second. Shortly after the big wheel Board’s approval, Duke Magazine discussed the dance major’s stress on “history and theory” while noting the “interdisciplinary nature of dance.” Duke apparently wants to draw those students who would like a liberal arts education away from dance conservatories. What is a liberal arts education? Does anyone care to answer? I suspect not. I had thought that it was an education pursued as something worthy on its own—an education in the best of what has been thought and said. Not for the purpose of agreeing with our forbears, but for the purpose of figuring out whether they were actually right or wrong. The administration endlessly focuses on housing, diversity and service learning. But when has President Brodhead ever publicly pushed for changing Duke’s academics from good to better along the above lines? Look at the dance major. The Web site gives some indication of what study in this field actually involves. You can be a total beginner or an expert. Either way, you will have an opportunity not only to learn about dance but also how to dance. And, you can pursue a broader education not available elsewhere. Take a look at some of the courses offered. African Dance: Introduction to West African dance styles. The Art of Performance: “An examination of the complex artistic process of performance necessary to realize the choreographer’s intent...” etc., etc. Here’s my favorite, though. Dance and Religion in Asia and Africa: “Dance... forms in relation to religious beliefs, concepts and mystic practices within the Asian and African cultures. How religion shapes the way the dancer is perceived, and how spiritual power and energy is symbolically transmitted to the dancer through religious practices. Impact of colonialism and globalization on traditional religious performances.” So dance is spiritual, invigorating, inspiring, even artistic. It brings together many strains of authentic culture. Practicing dance is akin to channeling all the ancient rivers of spiritual wisdom. It’s like entering into communion with the fire spirit and the earth energy. You can also learn about the impact

of buzzwords on the traditional practitioners of the ancient art. Sound like shamanism? There are lots of more weighty and serious arguments against having majors in such disciplines. But I’ll offer a couple that, if not convincing, I hope will at least be thought-provoking. Math, history, philosophy, classics, English, physics—these are the core classes in the traditional education. There are pure theories, applied theories, deep questions, studies of important historical epochs, etc. These disciplines attempt to train the mind for thought. They seek to ask questions about humanity, about knowledge in general, about the nature of reality, about the most difficult concepts. In short, these disciplines are concerned with the most important truths we might be able to grasp. Excuse me for being a bit skeptical, but dance is not exactly in the same league with those disciplines. Instead of asking deep questions, it teaches students a parochial skill, obscure theory and a quasipolitical outlook that stresses connection with utterly foreign cultures through the lens of contemporary Western “theoretical” obsessions. It is as if we were to compare studying 16th-century mysticism to studying the Reformation. So can we really say that dance is among the best of what has been thought and said? Duke’s administration and the Board of Trustees seem excited about the new major. They’re thrilled about having more “opportunities” available to students. If Sally McPhearson from Minnesota wants to study Central African rain dance—well, who’s going to stop her? And why not have a shamanism major? Our problem is that we are infatuated with providing diverse and various outlets for learning about anything possible. The only real barriers are money and student interest. Yet this fixation inevitably destroys the liberal arts education. Gone is the focus on learning the best, on grappling with the deep questions. Instead, our inability to judge disciplines—to call this good and that bad—has risen hand-in-glove with the belief that all are equal. It’s clear that the quality of undergraduate education has suffered as a result—and that no one in the administration publicly address the situation in any capacity. I am sure that there are scholarly professors and attentive students in the dance major. I am sure that they take their work seriously; something is gained. But the question is whether there can be a place for the dance major at what is supposedly an elite liberal arts college. To that question I answer, No, there is not a place.

letterstotheeditor Too old for a babysitter On my way back from the Inside Joke show Thursday night on a C-l bus, I became an unfortunate witness to an example of Duke’s excessive underage drinking. An underclassman, too drunk to keep his night’s booze inside, vomited all over the seats of the bus. Not only was it disgusting, it really made me embarrassed to be a Duke student. The bus driver was forced to pull over from his route and attempt to pull the student together enough to clean up his own mess. Instead of apologizing, the student and his friend stumbled out of the bus, leaving his puddle of puke behind for someone else to take care of. The bus driver was visibly upset, and explained to me how sick he was of that kind of behavior. He told me that this lack ofresponsibility when it comes to drinking is what he hates about Duke students, and about the University. It made me cringe to hear—is this the kind of respect we have for our community? It’s too bad that this happens all the time. I’d bet that every weekend someone throws up on the stairs on the way back to the dorm or doesn’t make it to the bathroom in dme, leaving it for housekeepers, bus

drivers and hall-mates to deal with in the morning. We’re all too old to have babysitters —so if you drink to excess, clean up your own mess. You go to Duke, you are a part of this community, and there is no excuse for this kind of disrespect and irresponsibility. Gabby Colaianni Trinity ’O9 ‘Robot’ etymology

Regarding the Feb. 29 article on humans and ro-

bots “MIT prof eyes robots as centerpiece of future society,” the word “robot” enters the English language with the 1922 American premiere of Karel Capek’s play R.U.R. ( Rossum’s Universal Robots) and the publication the following year of this translation of the work. Proposed by Capek’s brother Josef as the name for the artificial life forms of the play (Capek’s own original choice had been “laboci”),, “robot” derives from the Czech “robota;” serf labor, and is related to the German “Arbeiter,” worker.
