Union elects new president

By ELLEN MIELKE The Chronicle

Trinity junior Pam Wells spent last semester in Rome, but she’ll spend much of next year in the Duke University Union office; Wells takes over in April as president of the campus’ largest programming organization.

“I have known Pam for a long time and Pm really excited to see her take the helm,” said current Union President Jeff Hindman, a Pratt senior. “I think she has a great vision for the Union... [and] a good sense of its tradition.”

Before heading off for her scenic semester in Rome, Wells served as*chair of the On Stage committee during her sophomore year. As such, she said she brought a variety of acts to campus in “more of an artist Pam Wells management position.”

Wells said she has not yet had a chance to formulate specific goals for her upcoming term as president. “I need to take time to investigate and see where the Union stands right n0w...,” she said. “I need to ground myself.”

One current idea is to increase the Union’s financial base by increasing the organization’s outside funding.

“Traditionally, the Union endowment drive has had strong support from Union

alumni,” Wells said. “In the years ahead, we would like to continue to cultivate those relationships and such support.”

At present, Wells said she does not plan on asking for an increase in student fees, but she will make a final decision in the next few weeks after reviewing the Union’s financial records.

The Union, which includes Major Speakers, Major Attractions, Broadway at Duke and Freewater Films, is “continually pushing our programming to the limit,” Wells said. During her term, Wells plans to educate the University community about the Union’s

specific responsibilities and to

increase student participation.

Wells, who is also a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority and the club softball team, is a double major in English and cultural anthropology. She said her interest in the Union began through Hindman, whom she knew from high school.

Wells said Hindman encouraged her to become active in the organization.

Through him, she said, “I saw the intricacies of the Union and how it works... It sort of captured me.”

Now, the Atlanta native said."l love the Union. In a lot of ways, it’s my family here at Duke.”

Thousands of N.C. residents lose power From wire reports A mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain knocked out power to tens of thousands of North Carolina homes Sunday but caused few traffic problems as motorists heeded warnings and stayed home.

Roads in the western two-thirds of the state were considered hazardous because of the slick wintry mix.

With some stores closed and church services canceled due to the precipitation—and last week’s record snow storm still icing secondary roads—it was hard to find many good reasons to drive.

“I think people are realizing that they shouldn’t be on the roads if they don’t know how to drive in it,” said Penny Roark, a dispatcher in Watauga County, where snow fell at midday. The sheriffs office had responded to only two wrecks by noon Sunday. “It’s not been too bad. It’s Sunday; people are staying at home.”

There was widespread ice accumulation across Central North Carolina from Anson and Richmond counties north through the Triad and along the Virginia border.

Further south and east in the Triangle, a light glaze that had covered the region Sunday morning had melted and washed off after hours of steady rain.

Officials warned that the melted ice was likely to freeze again Sunday night as temperatures dropped into the 20s. Slick conditions were expected to plague rush hour drivers Monday morning.

“It’s kind of still iffy,” Renee Hoffman, a spokesperson at the state Emergency Operations Center, said of the forecast.

The state’s two major utilities reported nearly 38,000 customers were without electricity as of Sunday afternoon. Most of the outages were in the southern Piedmont, including Charlotte, Salisbury, Troy and Monroe.

IFC tweaks fraternity rush process

By CAROLINE WILSON The Chronicle

A slate of revisions to the fraternity rush process debuted this weekend with a series of mandatory community service initiatives. Taken as a whole, Interfraternity Council president Ken Collins hopes these changes he made last semester will “return the Duke fraternity system to its original, founding values.”

The two changes, the addition of a service program and a “formal presentation” rush event, are designed to

expand the scope of rush.

“We thought it was odd that rushees enter a process in which the only introduction they have into the fraternity organization is hanging out and social functions,” said Collins, Trinity ’99. “The [community service] addition is a chance for fraternities to communicate what they are all about, and that includes ...a commitment to be a notch better than the rest.”

During the community service weekend, originally scheduled for this past weekend, fraternities were required to invite rushees to participate in a philanthropic event, but inclement weather and unusual scheduling disrupted many fraternity plans.

Alex Strauss, president ofDelta Kappa Epsilon and a Trinity junior, said his fraternity intended to help out with Habitat for Humanity, but because many freshmen

could not get to West Campus, members shoveled the Bryan Center Walkway instead. Phi Kappa Sigma also rescheduled their barbecue with The Ark, their philanthropy organization.

Delta Sigma Phi, however, mo ed its project indoors and made hundreds of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the Durham Rescue Mission. Rush Chair and Trinity sophomore JK Rasamny said he was impressed that more than 50 rushees turned out.

The canceled events will be rescheduled as soon as the weather conditions improve.

The second rush revision, the “formal presentation” event, will give potential members the chance to listen to fraternity members talk about their experiences with their fraternity in a more formal, serious setting where alcohol is not a factor. Between Jan. 31 and Feb. 3, each fraternity will host an hour-long open house in which rushees can drop by and hear members discuss their experiences with fraternity life.

Collins said he hopes that the additional events, which are optional for rushees, will help fraternities live up to the values espoused by their national chapters.

‘There are certain reasons that we are able to have a fraternity system at Duke, and I’m not sure that we are living up to them,” said Collins. ‘There is no true sense of See RUSH on page

Sorority leadership reflects favorably on year’s rush results

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

When last year’s formal sorority rush process left about 55 women without bids, the Panhellenic Council changed its formula to avoid exceptionally high numbers of no-bids this year. Although only five participants did not receive bids, the change in protocol caused some confusion during the rush process.

In the past, Panhel gave sororities guidelines for how many rushees to

eliminate after each round.

This year, the release numbers were mandatory, forcing some sororities to cut more women earlier in the process than they otherwise would have. As a result, Panhel realized midway through rush that some sororities were not inviting back enough rushees.

“We came to a situation in round three or four where Panhel wanted people to invite back more people than [sororities] even had coming to the rounds,” said Trinity senior Katie Walters, outgoing Panhel vice president for membership.

Because of the discrepancy, sororities were allowed to call back a certain number of women whom they had cut earlier in rush.

Sisters conferred in their member selection meetings to determine which rushees to invite back. Students who had been released could then decide whether to return to the sororities that had cut them.

“Rush schedules are mandatory, [butl because a woman had not met as many people, we did not want to force her to go,” Walters said.

was confusing when women who they had previously released returned to

rush events. Although Alpha Delta Pi sorority was not affected by the change in policy, President Michelle Patterson said the situation could cause some tension.

“It would probably be awkward for

some girls.... It might create a little of an uneasy feeling between rushees and sisters,” said the Trinity senior.

Other sorority representatives said they were pleased with the opportunity to invite some rushees back.

“Most people rushing were pretty quality girls,” said Trinity senior Merritt Fajt, immediate past president of Chi Omega sorority. “It was hard to release anyone, [so this] was just something people kind of accepted.”

Walters said the mandatory releases help sororities minimize the number

of rushees left out of pledge classes on bid day.

“One of the most common reasons that women do not receive bids is because sororities do not follow release figures...,” Walters said. “If a sorority invites back too many people, they end up stringing people along, and end up screwing them in the end.”

This year, only 55 women dropped out of the formal rush process—l 3 percent of those who initially registered.

The drop out rate is down from the last two years, which saw 21 and 17 percent of rushees leaving rush midway.

Overall, Panhel is pleased with the reduced number of no-bids this year.

“That’s 50 fewer than last year. We’re very proud of ourselves-...,” Walters said. “We’ve been discussing the possibility that using different methods would give us a different result.”

Seton Hall tragedy focuses attention on dorm fire safety outside for 20 or 30 minutes, I think that makes a big difference.”

False alarms also occur when students decide to use fire extinguishers as toys “We’ve had a student last semester and this semester doing community service in this office for just that reason,” said Boten To avoid alarm apathy, RAs and fire fighters are responsible for evacuating the building whenever they see flames or smoke. “And we will go door to door if We have to,” Boten said.

By KATHERINE STROUP The Chronicle

In the wake of last week’s fatal dormitory fire at Seton Hall University, administrators from across the nation have begun reassessing the safety of on-campus residence halls, many of which lack sprinkler systems and experience frequent false alarms. Officials at Duke are using the tragedy as an opportunity to raise awareness among students and resident advisers.

“We are getting together to review the information that we have to just use [this fire] as a point of reference and make sure

disciplinary action.

Boten said he thinks the major safety concerns do not revolve around sprinklers or fire alarms, but around general precautions that all students should take.

For example, he said, many students

we’re remaining vigilant,” said Barbara

Baker, dean of student development and residential education. Her office has also distributed packets of information on the fire, in the hopes that resident advisers will promote general fire safety by passing the information along to theirresidents.

The Seton Hall fire swept through a 640-bed dormitory Jan. 19, killing three and injuring 62 others. When the fire alarm first sounded at 4:30 a.m., many of the students rolled over and went back to sleep, trying to block out what they considered to be the most recent in a string of 18 false alarms this academic year.

But the fire, which apparently started in a student lounge on the third floor, proved all too real—plunging the small Catholic university in South Orange, N.J. deep into mourning.

The cause of the fire has not been officially determined, although it is reported that residents saw people smoking in the lounge not long before the fire broke out.

Police have not commented on the investigation beyond saying that arson and accident remain possible causes.

Like many dorms across the country,

the nearly 50-year-old building had fire

alarms, but no sprinklers. Just a few days after the fire, New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman said she would consider legislation requiring sprinklers in all dorms; a similar law already exists in Virginia.

In North Carolina, sprinklers are not mandatory in dorms because installing such systems is expensive and requires temporarily displacing students.

TAMPERING with alarms or extinguishers is a serious offense with potentially serious consequences.

According to a survey of 57 colleges commissioned by Seton Hall immediately after the fire, an average of 43 percent of the respondents’ dormitories lack sprinkler systems. Sixty-seven percent of those polled had at least one dorm without sprinklers.

At Duke, where most buildings are made out of brick or nearly invincible Duke stone, the numbers are even more remarkable; only five ofthe campus’ more than 70 dorms have sprinklers.

Administrators have said in the past that when West Campus dorms are renovated as part of the upperclass residential

works with Boten on a fire safety program during RA training each year.

Although false alarms occur somewhat frequently, Boten said the only particular problem area is the notoriously alarm-prone Few Quadrangle, where seven false alarms have been recorded this academic year. “Normally, those are the result of parties,” he said.

Eric Sapp, the area coordinator for Few Quad, said the number of false alarms has actually been lower than in years past, when he’s been told there were two or three alarms a weekend.

Still, he said, the RAs have worked to make sure students continue to take the alarms seriously. ‘The staffhas just been pretty insistent about it if they see somebody, they tell them to go outside,” said Sapp, a student at the Divinity School.

He added that students may also be somewhat more willing to go outside because the fire department gets the alarms deactivated in just a few minutes, and because there have been two real alarms this year.

“When people hear a fire alarm and know they’ll be back inside in four or five minutes, then they’ll go,” he said. “But if they know they’re going to have to stay

life overhaul, sprinklers will be installed.

Still, Duke fire and safety manager William Boten said the University does a good job with fire prevention, and has had no major dorm fires in recent history.

Although all University buildings contain state-of-the-art fire detection systems, these detection systems only work if students take the alarms seriously, he said, so Duke meticulously tracks false alarms.

“Nothing is more tragic than when you have an emergency and you have all these response systems, but they just go unheeded,” Baker said. Her office hires and trains residential advisers, and she

violate Duke policy by lighting candles and incense in their rooms. ‘There’s a written policy and everyone’s been told but students insist on using open flames,” he said. “Every year we have a fire because of it.”

He added that almost all students overload their circuits with electronic gadgets. “If you go in any dorm room, there are gangs and gangs of plugs going into one circuit, because everybody needs to have a computer and a stereo and a hair dryer,” he said, adding this is a particular concern in the older dormitories.

“They were not built to handle that.”

Beyond everyday fire hazards, he said inebriated undergraduates have been known to take matches to a wide variety of offensive objects. “He doesn’t like the test he just got back, so he bums it, or he sees a bulletin boardand decides to torch it,” Boten said.‘That’s justridiculous and dangerous, but it happens.”

Each of these concerns, taken individually, might seem minor, but administrators see each as a potential tragedy. And events like the Seton Hall fire, or the 1996 fraternity fire that claimed five

lives at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, serve as constant reminders ofhow quickly young, promising

lives can go up in smoke.

“Fire safety is always a concern on campuses,” Banker said. “And rightly so.”

Equal protection The Duke University Police Department should offer free protection to all student groups

Duke’s

campus is stratified, distinctly separated between student groups with residential space and those without.

Residential space comes with a set of privileges—guaranteed housing near the amenities ofWest Campus, immediate recognition by all students and a cozy commons room dedicated to the

group’s activities.

For the most part, non-residential status comes with non-privileges: no location and no commons room.

Even worse, this lack of privileges sometimes includes penalties, One particular case in point—as highlighted for many years by minority student groups and recently by Duke Student Government—is the unequal way in which police officers are allocated to campus events.

Under the current policy, just codified by the Duke University Police Department, non-residential groups must pay for police protection at their parties, while residential groups are covered for free by the police who patrol campus at night.

Often, the parties themselves are not substantially different from each other. A large number of people, many ofwhom are drunk, tend to cause security hazards no matter whose party they are attending.

Regardless, Campus Police are responsible for protecting students against any dangers.

In their justification of the current policy, police often cite past infractions at certain events hosted by non-residential groups, particularly specific parties coordinated by minority greek organizations.

Police have also cited off-campus advertising as an issue, although most of the people from outside the University who attend these parties come from other local schools.

Violence and firearms at past events are certainly causes for alarm, but there is no reason why these groups cannot be treated the same as any other campus group, no justification for why groups of Duke students should be perceived as outsiders when they plan an event on campus.

Police should patrol the area near non-residential groups’ parties just like they patrol during any other party, keeping their eyes out for potential criminal activity. Police should determine how many officers are necessary to patrol the campus on weekends, with the knowledge that their organization will bear the responsibility and the cost for additional officers.

And if non-residential groups host events that cause security problems, they should be treated just like residential groups—put on probation or prohibited from hosting events for a certain period of time.

There has been some confusion about whether the draft of DUPD’s policy was supposed to include revisions or merely state the current policy. Regardless, now is the time for police to work with non-residential groups and craft an event security policy that is more fair, one that does not reify the distinction cemented in residential privilege.

Pi Phi sorority bid night practices degrade pledges It is not surprising that the decision to get involved in greek life weighs so heavily on the minds of many freshmen; rushing involves intense .competition and performance, and it promises fun, honor, support and, well, fraternity. Duke prides itself on having a particularly healthy and productive greek system. The apparent effects of Pi Beta Phi sorority’s bid night, however, have convinced me that sorority life at Duke is anything but healthy, and to expect support and camaraderie from such an organization is a mistake.

The Pi Phi bidding celebration was held last Monday night at a restaurant and club about a mile off campus. Newly accepted members were apparently

initiated into the sorority through a process that exceeds typical fraternity induction horror stories, Total inebriation being the goal, the girls were expected to drink until they vomited, Elder sorority members, allegedly intending to remain sober, were assigned to mentor and protect inductees in the event of danger or disaster. Nobody remained sober, however, and several girls were sent out to find their ways back to East Campus through the blizzard, in some cases without coat or wearing sandals, on foot and alone, Not only were they totally intoxicated, many of them had written all over their bodies in stickers and ink the brandings “slut,” “f-k me” and “I’m a hot Pi Phi

pledge and I’m not wearing

any underwear.”

This process is not necessarily typical of all sororities but the notion of a supposed! ly respectable social organization on campus treating its new members with §

such disrespect totally abhorrent and is begging for utter

exposure and reproof.

What

happened to the Pi pfo pledges was dangerous and cruel, and lam shocked by and ashamed of the group’s presence on campus. I hope that the Pi Phi moral code is not a reflection of sorority behavior in general, and I hope that their negligence and abuse prompts girls to respect themselves and reconsider pledging, Kathryn

Short-staffed and illequipped, the crew stayed calm, diligent and extremely pleasant..

They seemed unfazed by the hours of work ahead of them, the bitter cold or the lack or machinery and

manpower. My day consisted of answering angry calls from people who didn’t seem to realize that everyone was working as hard and fast as they could. I went on a quest to find food for men who had not eaten in nearly a day.

Then I shoveled sidewalks—this was the hard part.

During my short-lived career as a manual laborer, I noticed

something: Of all the people who walked by me, only one person said thank you.

It occurred to me that the average individual doesn’t really appreciate all of the work that goes into fighting Mother Nature. The crew worked tirelessly into the night, long after I was out at the Hideaway, and continue to clear snow even today to make sure we can walk to class—some of you may have forgotten that that is why we are here. The Uni-

versity employees showed up to run campus restau-

rants so we didn’t starve, The housekeeping staff came to make sure we didn’t have to be inconvenienced by our own garbage. I would just like to remind everyone that people work very hard every day to make our lives easier, and I think it is about time that we started saying thank you.

Next time you walk by

shoveling snow, cleaning your bathroom or trimming trees to make Duke the beautiful place that it is, tell them they are doing a good job. Tell them that you appreciate their hard work someone

or even give them an unspo-

ken thanks in the form of a smile. Remember that it is so nice to be appreciated.

OIT overbilled students for the month of December Duke’s Office of Information Technology has overcharged you. If you look closely at your bill dated Dec. 31, 1999, you will see that you have been charged for cable and telephone services for the entire months of December and January, despite the fact that we were not here for half of that time.

In fact, dorms were locked for 22 days, during which we could not have possibly been

watching cable or talking on the phone.

I called OIT to complain,

and they patiently explained to me that I could have gone to the OIT office before break and disconnected my services, and then gone back to have them reconnected at the beginning of this semester, but they would have charged me a $lO reconnecting fee.

I do not think this is a fair way to run these services at a university because the situation is different from a private home.

Couldn’t OIT just charge for the days when we have access to our dorm rooms and services? If you also feel that this is an unfair system, let the OIT office know.

Game Commentary Four days ago against North Carolina, forward Peppi Browne collapsed to the floor with an injury to her right knee. Cameron went silent, and all in attendance immediately thought one thing: torn ACL. And while the results to Browne’s MRI will not be available until later today, Duke’s players were assuming the worst when they took the floor to face ACC co-

leader Virginia yesterday.

The Blue Devils’ bodies were certainly there, but their heads were back in Durham, with Browne and her damaged knee.

“We just weren’t ready to play from the tipoff,” Lauren Rice said. “We can’t use Peppi as an excuse....

We just shot ourselves in the foot.”

In the first five minutes of the game, Duke committed six turnovers while quickly falling behind 9-0. After a television timeout, Virginia extended its lead to 18-0 until mercifully, with 11:10 left in the first half, Rochelle Parent converted a layup and put the Blue Devils on the board.

“It’s the worst we’ve looked in a long, long time, Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said, and by the time the half was finished, Duke’s shooting percentage barely surpassed its number of turnovers, 18-15. The Cavs scored 17 points off of turnovers compared to Duke’s zero. In a word, it was ugly.

Nearly as soon as her press conference began, Virginia coach Debbie Ryan knew what she had seen. She saw a lifeless Duke team whose heads were somewhere else.

“I’m really sorry about Peppi Browne not being able to play today,” Ryan said. “I think one of the reasons we got such a good start is they were a little out of sync and they weren’t their normal well-oiled selves.”

Calling Duke a little out of sync could be the understatement of the year, but while Browne’s physical absence undoubtedly took away some of Duke’s steam, Goestenkors said one missing player cannot influence a game that much.

“I think [missing Brownel is a nice excuse we’re using now, but I don’t think it’s appropriate,” Goestenkors said. “I don’t really like to use excuses. I don’t think Peppi makes that much of a difference that we can’t score for the first 20 minutes.”

Browne is probably Duke’s most irreplaceable player, and if she is out for awhile, the Blue Devils will certainly experience growing pains as they try to figure out how to play without her.

Yesterday, Duke had little to no time to prepare for post-Peppi life, but that cannot excuse the sloppy play demonstrated in the first half.

The ghost of Browne’s right knee did not bounce balls offof dribblers’ feet, and it did not force passes to fly out of bounds. The Blue Devils just weren’t in the game mentally when the whistle blew.

“I’m very disappointed in our effort in the first half,” Goestenkors said. “We need to always fight and scrap for everything, and I didn’t feel like we did that in the first half. We were very passive, and Virginia took advantage ofit.”

If theresults ofBrowne’s MRI force her to the sidelines

KRISTA GINGRICH scores two of her four points, but the sophomore committed six turnovers without an assist. for the remainder of the year, Duke will never be the same team this season. Browne is the Blue Devils’ most versatile player and one of the nation’s best post defenders.

And while Duke shouldn’t be expected to reach the same level of success without Browne, its mentality should never change. That’s what happened yesterday, when the Blue Devils decided for the first time all season they just didn’t want to play basketball.

Goestenkors believes Duke’s already learned its lesson.

“I know we’ll learn from this, and we’ll be a better team tomorrow than we are today,” she said. “We’ve been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster with Peppi going down, and our focus wasn’t where it needed to be.

“Hopefully, a little extra time will help us feel more comfortable with one another out there.”

Blue Devils thump Ti ers for 45th straight win in Cameron

By CHRISTINA PETERSEN The Chronicle

The last time the Blue Devils lost to an Duke 93 unranked opponent at home, the Duke Clemson 59 campus also saw blizzard-like conditions. Four years ago, on Jan. 7, 1996, as Cameron Indoor Stadium was only half-full due to a winter break snowstorm, then unstoppable Georgia Tech freshman point guard Stephen Marbuiy lit Duke up for 25 second-half points after being held to just two in the first half to push Duke out of the national rankings.

On paper, there was potential for much the same type of matchup Saturday afternoon against

unranked Clemson.

Clemson (7-13, 1-6 in ACC) traveled to Duke through sleet and snow armed with sophomore guard Will Solomon, the ACC’s leading scorer, who averages 20.8 points per game and added 15 in the Tigers’ upset over No. 21 N.C. State on Thursday night.

But in reality, there was no such magic for Clemson as it fell 93-59 to the No. 3 Blue Devils (16-2,7-0). With the win, the Blue Devils now own a 58-game winning streak against unranked opponents, as well as extending both Duke’s conference and home streaks to 29 and 45 games, respectively.

‘The records don’t matter and winning streaks don’t matter when you play this game,” senior Chris Carrawell said. ‘That’s the way it is.”

The most suspenseful moment for the fans came in the waning seconds of the first half as freshman Mike Dunleavy hefted a prayer from just inside the half-court line. The ball kissed the backboard and dropped just as the buzzer went off to put Duke up, 58-16. The first halfs 58 points tied a season-high against Davidson.

“Everything went well for us,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We even banked one in at the end of the half. It was just one of those halves where everything was going well.”

The game was in doubt only when Clemson took the opening tipoff and center Adam Allenspach sank a shot See CLEMSON on page 7 Is

FRESHMAN JASON WILLIAMS strips the ball from Ciemson’s Andrius Jurkunas during Saturday’s rout of the Tigers. Williams finished the game with four steals.

Clemson’s cold night lets Blue Devils’ reserves shine in blowout Maybe it was when Clemson’s Adam Allenspach, having scored four of his team’s eight points on the board, suddenly fell to the court with more than 11 minutes left in the first half with a hip pointer.

Maybe it was when Chris Carrawell denied the ACC’s leading scorer Will Solomon, who averages over 20 points per game, a single point through the first half.

Kevin Lees Game Commentary Maybe it was when Clemson’s Tomas Nagys just stood there and allowed Matt Christensen to knock him down and put back a rebound in the second half or when reserve Andre Buckner, who played only five minutes fewer than starter Carlos Boozer, notched a steal.

Whatever it was, Saturday was horrible for Clemson.

Duke’s 93-59 victory will likely send Clemson back on a losing streak, not to mention what Clemson’s terrible performance says about N.C. State, which lost to the Tigers by 17 earlier in the week.

At the half, as Duke led by 42 points, an ecstatic Mike Krzyzewski could not have been happier with his team.

“Thanks for playing so well,” he told

CHEN/THE CHRON

SELDOM-USED MATT CHRISTENSEN works the ball inside against Clemson’s Chucky Gilmore Christensen scored six points in 18 minutes.

his players.

“Our team came ready to play,” Krzyzewski said after the game. “I thought we played our passing lanes better today. That’s one thing we’ve been working on. We’ve tried to rebound better.”

And play they did.

The Blue Devils showcased the fact

that Clemson, despite its 59-42 win against the Wolfpack, is still destined for the cellar of the ACC standings.

The Tigers’ 59 points are not an accu-

rate reflection of their skill, considering Duke’s finishing lineup did not include a single starter. Every player on the Duke bench saw a least a minute of playing time.

More indicative of the Clemson effort were the Tigers’ 16 first-half points.

Increasingly desperate, Larry Shyatfs team just couldn’t get its game together, clearly evident after Tomas Nagys’ intentional foul against Jason Williams.

It just kept getting better for the Blue Devils.

At nearly the halfway mark ofthe ACC season, Duke remains undefeated in the league, on a record 29-game conference winning streak, and ranked No. 3 in the nation.

Given a week to rest, the high energy of Cameron, and a matchup so lopsided, Duke was able to showcase something new—its bench.

Overshadowed and under-respected, the Blue Devil bench demonstrated that while it won’t be leading Duke to the Final Four, it probably won’t be keeping the Blue Devils from Indianapolis, either.

‘That was the best Matt Christensen’s played,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

“Nick Horvath played today a little bit like he’s playing in practice. We see improvement and we wanted to see if we could get some time for those guys. I also thought Andre did a good job, just handling it, putting pressure on the ball.”

The starters were also at their best Saturday, especially the iron frontcourt of Chris Carrawell and Shane Battier.

Ram-tastic! Warner guides Duke closes large 1 st-half deficit, St. Louis to Super Bowl win fails to complete unlikely comeback :

A game of came down to inches for the St. Louis

ATLANTA yards

Rams in the Super Bowl.

The result was a 23-16 victory Sunday night for Kurt Warner, Dick Vermeil and the Rams that six months ago seemed no more than a dream after a 4-12 season.

Warner’s 73-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Bruce with 1:54 left accounted for the winning score, 16 seconds after A1 Del Greco’s field goal brought Tennessee back from a 16-0 deficit.

But it took Mike Jones’ tackle of Kevin Dyson at the 1-yard line on the game’s final play that finally gave St. Louis its win in one of the most thrilling Super Bowl finishes ever.

Dyson was left sprawled on the ground in Jones’ arms, stretching the ball toward the goal line in vain. So, a team known for its high-powered offense won its first Super Bowl with

the most memorable of defensive plays.

Warner passed for a Super Bowl record 414 yards and was voted MVP, capping a season that began with him

fighting for a backup job and ended with him as the NFL’s MVP.

digits was reserve Michele Matyasovsky.

Duke was limited to only 12 first-half points as Virginia opened with a dominating 18-0 run that kept the Blue Devils scoreless beyond the second TV timeout.

“I thought we were [ready], but obvi-

ously we weren’t,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought they did a great job of getting up in our passing lanes.

We had five turnovers in our first seven possessions. UVA’s defense was excellent and they got us back on our heels.”

Yet, despite outscoring Duke 17-0 on points off turnovers in the first half, Virginia led only by 16 heading into halftime. With her team trailing 28-12 at the break, Goestenkors reminded her players that it was less than a year ago that they had overcome an 18-point deficit with under 13 minutes remaining against the Cavaliers in Charlottesville.

“At the very end [of halftime] I said, ‘Last year we were down 18 and we won, so go out and compete,”’ the coach said.

“Just so they understood it was possible.”

Withthe ’Hoos up 18yesterday and less than 16 minutes remaining, the stage was set for another Duke comeback attempt.

Missy West drove to the basket and missed hard off the glass, but forward Rochelle Parent was waiting underneath the hoop to clean up West’s miss, draw a foul and convert Duke’s first three-point play of the game. Parent’s putback prompted a one-minute run in which Duke reeled off seven unanswered points to trim the Cavaliers’ lead to only 11.

“I thought he was going to get in,” McNair said. “But you’ve got great athletes on both sides of the ball and they made the play. It was a matter of who won the one-on-one battle and they won it.”

As the 2,521 fans in attendance began to shift in their Seats, Virginia coach Debbie Ryan remained calm and let her team play, stopping the dock with a timeout only when Duke’s press trapped the Cavaliers at halfcourt.

“We never talked about what we’re not doing,” Ryan said. ‘This is not a

that [the other team] is going to come back. I wasn’t hard on them, nor did 11 talk about let-downs or things like that I just reminded them to keep their inten-! sity up and play as hard as they could” Virginia responded to its coach’s display of confidence as it weathered the storm for the next four minutes and managed to extend its lead to 43-30 midway through the second half.

The Blue Devils had one final run as Krista Gingrich and Matyasovsky sandwiched a Georgia Schweitzer three-pointer with two points each to get to within 44-37, but Duke would never get closer.

Within a minute, the Wahoos pushed their lead back to double digits.

Guard Renee Robinson, who led all scorers with 15 points, provided the dagger when she sliced to the basket along the baseline for three the oldfashioned way to put her team up 15 with just over three minutes to play, *

“Kurt Warner is Kurt Warner and it’s not a fairy tale,” coach Vermeil said. “He is a book. He is a movie.”

Added Warner: “You may think of this as a Hollywood story, but it’s just my life.”

But he almost had to rewrite the script after the Titans scored on three straight drives to tie the score at 16.

Tennessee’s comeback was engineered by Steve McNair and Eddie George. But it was Dyson who almost pulled off his second miracle finish in four weeks, coming up just short of the tying touchdown after taking a look-in pass from McNair at the 5 and scrambling for the endzone.

“I thought we could do it but we came up about six inches from having a chance to do it,” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. “As much as this hurts, we have an awful lot of pride in coming so close.”

Dyson was the man at the end of the “Music City Miracle,” the 22-16 win over Buffalo in a wild-card game, taking lateral from Frank Wycheck and returning it 75 yards for the winning

“I’m very disappointed with our

effort in the first half, but I was proud of the way we came back in the second half and competed,” Goestenkors said, “We didn’t make a lot of our shots, but at least I thought we competed in the second half.”

“He’s a lot further along than he was in New York,” Battier said. “He knows that he’s stronger; he also knows he’s good. He’s a tough player, and we’re starting to see glimpses of that right now.”

Still, if the glimpses of what Duke saw Saturday afternoon are what the Blue Devils can expect as they face even tougher challenges ahead this week and through the remainder of the season, a shot at the Final Four might not be that far off.

high 12 first-half points. “[Solomonl’s a tough kid to guard and I thought our kids did a tough job in guarding him,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Carrawell was on him most of the time and I think a taller player like Carrawell who can move his feet [can guard him better] With Carrawell silencing the Tigers’ star, Clemson coach Larry Shyatt looked to Allenspach, his second high-

est scorer, for leadership on the floor. The center accounted for half of the Tigers’ eight points 11 minutes into the game when he fell to the floor, clutching his hip.

After Allenspach’s exit, Duke built on a 14-point lead to punish Clemson on a 36-8 run that included an appearance by seldom-used 5-foot-10 point guard Andre Buckner in its final two-and-a-half minutes.

“I knew by the way things were going I might get to play,” Buckner said. “So I was ready.”

Krzyzewski substituted more liberally ir. the second half, which freed up Solomon to score 19 second-half points. Four separate times in the second naif, he drained a three-pointer over the Blue De'dl defense, but the Tigers never came within less than 34 points of Duke.

Carrawell finished with a game-high 20 points, followed by Battier and Jason Williams with 17 each.

Matt Christensen also added six points and two rebounds in a rare moment of dominance and Dunleavy ended with 13 points on 20 minutes.

Yet this week’s snow might have set back Duke.

“We wanted to make sure that no one would slip and break their ankle on the snow and that Casey Sanders would actually come out of his room after not seeing snow in so long,” Krzyzewski said of how the snow-enforced week off affected the Tampa, Fla., native. “I promised him snow and he said by Tuesday, ‘That’s enough.’”

from the right corner to go up 2-0 on the Blue Devils.

Junior Shane Battier quickly tied the score 15 seconds later on a driving layup. Forward Chucky Gilmore fouled Battier on the play and the Birmingham, Mich., native put in the free throw to go ahead 3-2 with 19:30 remaining in the first half.

Duke never trailed again.

On the next possession, Solomon was forced out of bounds, beginning the string of 19 turnovers that would haunt the Tigers in the first half. Duke would eventually score 24 first-half points offof 19 Clemson turnovers. .

It would take almost two minutes before Solomon would attempt his first shot with 17:34 left in the half.

But instead of finding the bottom of the net as usual, he found Carrawell draped all over him.

Carrawell effectively shut Solomon down, as the sophomore went 0-for-7 from the floor in the first half.

Carrawell also found the time to.contribute a game-

Chris Carrawell The senior captain did it all against the Tigers. Sure, the 20

points was impressive, but even better was the 0-fer Carrawell forced Solomon into during the first half.

Going global In a globalized world, what are the boundaries for corporations and countries?

Wes-word Expansion Wes Nichols So we live in a brave new world. The

Cold War ends (go us!) and the tentacles

of progress stretch to every corner of the globe. Globalization, regardless of how you may feel about the word, is the de rigueur name for this new era of integration and universalization of systems.

Everyone seems to be a champion of this new, global system. Every day the

evening news sings the praises of the

or justice. His terms are clear: The United States will use force and power to bring compliance with its interests, and the UN is merely the medium to achieve this objective. This policy exacerbates tensions among nations, establishes a hierarchy and contradicts the principles of democracy while undermining the spirit of the UN, which is to foster cooperation among nations as equal participants. This begs the question: Does democracy stop at a nation’s borders or is there an international

democracy?

Since Helms made his comments, many politicians rushed to distance themselves from this position and have insisted that the UN is a positive force.

That is the essence of Clintonism: open-

new order, declares it another fine day to be an American and then reports on ly lauding the system while covertly this or that new gizmo that is going to subverting it. Helms remains honest in imprbve our lives. The paragon of this respect. He tells the truth, almicrochips! The beauty of technology! though what he says may sound outraThe future character of this new age geous. Let us have no illusions about is still uncertain. All the most powerful the matter: the United States advances institutions are attempting to define the its interests throughout the world using terms of the new world order. its status as the world’s strongest ecoUnfortunately, old-fashioned values like nomic and military force.

The interests that the government democracy and justice don’t always factor in as much as they used to. In a toils to advance are usually those of recent speech in front of the Security multinational corporations. Although Council, Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C. laid these corporations are expanding interout his ideas about the role of the nationally, for the most part they domUnited Nations for the United States. inate our national economy. This is For Helms, the UN is only appropriate nothing new, but now they have so when it will act in our best interests. much more power and scope. Merger The government sees the UN as just after acquisition after takeover—espeanother weapon in its “diplomatic arsecially in the media industry—have left nal,” and when it becomes ineffective to the playing field with fewer corporations wielding more power. I am not these ends, they will “cast it aside.”

Helms finished his speech with a worried about lack of competition, but stern warning that the United States rather the implications of the increasreserves the right to use force when it ingly vertical integration of various thinks appropriate. Senator Helms did industries. Corporations aren’t basnot speak of international law, fairness tions of democracy; a massive private

bureaucracy is created with effective power over production in the hands of few people.

Some feel that the corporation is not really run by a group of executives on the top floor of corporate headquarters in a smoky backroom, but rather by the stockholders who control the actions of corporations. Stockholder influence is exaggerated. Management has relative autonomy from stockholders, provided they meet certain imperatives. This autonomy is then controlled by too few and its influence is too great.

This is especially true in the telecommunications industry. Communications are central to any functioning democracy. The increasing concentration of control over communications and the various branches of the media industry should be received with skepticism and protest. There are many examples: AOL-Time Warner, which connects Internet access and content with an

entertainment conglomerate; ViacomCBS, which links movie production with television and cable access and AT&TMediaOne, which joins different forms of media access. Even if these corporate media outlets do not collect and alter information in a Big Brother fashion, too few people are making too many important decisions without the input of the people.

So as globalization proceeds, we

should loor to embrace those systems that allow for the most accountability for the people. We shouldn’t seek to

define democracy as something only

with respect to the nation and the national political system, but as principle guiding all of our social relations, be they economic, international or whatever. Policy must be principle-driven, and this principle should be more profound than the rule offorce.

How WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN spent their snow days WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN were as off-guard for this past week’s snowstorm as anybody. Completely unprepared and without sufficient stores of food and water to make it through an entire day confined to our dorm rooms, we began to look toward alternate sources of nourishment. Our hallmates, who we were canibalistically eyeing all morning, let out a collective sigh of relief when it was revealed that the Great Hall was open for business. But we wondered: Did food delivery trucks make it to campus? Why had the übiquitous rotisserie chicken we loved been replaced by a gamey,

nondescript goulash-like substance? And where did all the stray quad cats and squirrels go? We suppose some questions are better left unanswered, but it simply boggles the mind that there was such an abundance of the powdery white stuff all around this week (insert appropriately hilarious cocaine joke here). Anyway, it seems only appropriate that we focus this week’s column on the fallout from the snowstorm.

Of course, our readers are probably wondering what the real reason was for all of those class cancellations.

Ever concerned with accusations of libel, we can’t give you all of the details; you’ll have to fill those in on your own (we can all pitch in to help out the sociology majors).

All we can say is that it involves tequila, Super Bowl XXXIV, Provost Peter Lange and a troop of underappreciated Russian circus midgets. However, after three days

of intensive cover-up, Duke was ready to reopen its doors just in time for the weekend. And as everyone knows (especially poor Provost Lange) this weekend marks the 34th annual Super Bowl. This year’s contest features a colossal clash between the Rams and the Titans. Or was that the Scottish stag film we watched during the blizzard? Either way, both are classic matchups, not to mention fair game for the literature department. The big game should also give hope to Duke’s beleaguered football coach, Carl Franks. If the St. Louis Rams can go from worst to first, why can’t our boys make a similar turnaround next season? All we have to do is go find an Arena League quarterback, tell the admissions people he s related to Coach K, and were ready to rock.

But getting back to the snow, this mini-vacation gave us all time to sit back and reflect on things. Lacking the structure of keeping a daily class schedule, we tried to think up some other reasons for classes to be cancelled so that we can prolong our newfound lifestyle—for NASTYMAN the only change was sex with strange women an extra couple of times this week. We should probably put a little disclaimer here because what follows could be, in the right circumstances, described as “illegal.” Of course, so is underage drinking, and try telling that to the plastered freshman we saw running around the quad in his skivvies and a cape declaring himself to be WONDERBOY—as if his penis could possibly be large enough. We mulled over several different scenarios, but all roads seemed to lead us to secretly introducing our professors to some nasty strains of hor!

ribly disfiguring anal-blistering agents. WONDERBOY, being the more socially conscious and sensitive member of the team, suggested that we would be better served by using some mildly embarrassing but hardly life threatening, social diseases. However, NASTYMAN pointed

out that to persuade any ofhis loyal army of sorostitutes to get with a couple of the math professors we know would take enough roofies to put down an elephant.

Dejected, out ofAristocrat and having grown tired of all 196 channels of streaming video feeds at our favorite Internet site, there we were, back at square one.

We tried in vain to come up with a new plan, but much like the Cameron Crazies, we had absolutely run out of creativity. And all of a sudden, we had a burst of inspirato: We must use our powers to educate the Crazies. We mean, tradition is great and all, but why in the world do they always try to distract the opponents free throw shooter with the same tired antics? Has anyone else noticed that they never work? Oh, and any of you picking up calculators and trying to find free throw percentages at Cameron vs. normal free throw percentage for players, put the calculator down and go back to sleep until the next game. The next time some fool is trying to sink his free throws in Cameron, try this instead: Just ha- e all of the fat people sit up front, pul! up their shirts and do the truffle shuffle a la Chunk from Tlw Goonies. We know WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN would have a hard time keeping a straight face with 300 drunken graduate students jiggling their oeer bellies and making gurgling noises. And Lord only knows you could find one or two corpulent fellows in the pep band willing to demean themselves with little harmless nudity. Let’s just hope ail of the vibrations don’t bring Cameron down.

WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN, having been advised that this week's column was not oJ]ensi\ enough, would like to declare our disapproval of interracial marriage.

The details ofthe Trinity College and Pratt School end was add Although no representative of the engineering plan will be announced today. deciding Trinity’s Lange has not set a deadline for the other schools. school was a part of the group make-up plan, Pratt School Dean Kristina Johnson Thompson is slightly concerned that some 200-level decided over the weekend to go along with the courses could create conflicts for Trinity students if the Graduate School’s schedule is not synchronized Trinity plan.

“I think it’s unfortunate that the snow happened, with Trinity’s.

Lange’s Friday directive instructed deans to name but it’s important that we make up the work and not weather,” time of the certain make-up days and require professors to intellectual because any lose make up classes during those defined times.

Johnson said.

Thompson agreed, hoping that professors will buy “It’s a complicated business...,” he said. “They

Of course, some teachers might choose to accelerate their courses and consolidate material instead holding the extra class sessions. Although that migh work for Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes, Lange said such a plan would not be feasible for 75-minutelong Tuesday-Thursday classes, which have lost two or three sessions.

Although freezing rain fell on the Triangle most of the day Sunday and the National Weather Service predicted sub-freezing overnight temperatures, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask decided Sunday evening that the University would open for nor-

IFC hopes to stop seniors’ frat apathy

:

;

RUSH from page 3 what it means to be part of that group, and we wanted to give members the chance to remember why there is a fraternity system.”

Some fraternity members, however, doubt that one, isolated community service event could lead to such changes.

“It’s really all in the hands ofthe fraternity,” said A1 Fleury, a Trinity junior and member of Kappa Sig. “If they really want to get into it, then yes, it’s worthwhile. Otherwise, it definitely isn’t worth it, and I know that some fraternities are going to have

that attitude.”

Collins passed the revisions last semester after he saw that some members were becoming “disenchanted”

with their fraternity as juniors or seniors—as is demonstrated by the trend of seniors moving off campus.

‘The ideal goal is to get these guys fired up about their fraternities and by their junior and senior years, really be the leaders of their organization,” Collins said.

“Right now, the disengagement translates into a lack of consistency and unity within the fraternity.”

Although some fraternity presidents think the revisions will help rushees see past the social stereotypes of each fraternity name, others admit that potential members cannot truly leam about a fraternity until they

have become pledges.

‘The pledging process is when we really get to show [rushees] what our fraternity is all about,” said Sigma Nu president Adam Carson, a Pratt junior. “And we can’t necessarily give [rushees] that sense during this

rushing game.”
