Rejected Maryland brings an end to Duke’s ACC, Cameron winning streaks By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Maryland 98 This wasn’t how it was supposed to end—not in Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke 87 and certainly not against Maryland. It had been 46 games and more than three years since Duke had lost a game at home, while Gary Williams and his Terrapins hadn’t won against the ACC’s top team since 1997. But one sizzling minute from Terence Morris ended Duke’s two years of domination in the ACC. When Maryland sophomore Danny Miller triumphantly capped off the Terrapins’ 98-87 upset by hurling the basketball toward the rafters of Cameron, the nation’s longest winning streak and

University suspends Pi Phi � Administrators temporarily suspended the sorority while they investigate allegations of hazing and binge drinking. 1

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

Administrators temporarily suspended Prßeta Phi sorority yesterday, pending a University investigation into allegations of hazing and excessive drinking. The sorority has undergone scrutiny since a Jan. 31 letter to the editor ofThe Chronicle charged that Pi Phi badly mistreated its pledges at an off-campus bid night party. According to the letter, the pledges were forced to drink excessively, had demeaning phrases written on their bodies and had to walk a mile home during a snowstorm.

From E.E. to Young Trustee? Pratt senior Brian Stempel would like to use the three-year term as Young Trustee to influence master plan, facilities This is the second story in a three-part series profiling the Young Trustee candidates. By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

Finding time to pursue several extracurricular interests is never easy, especially when juggling a double major like computer science and electrical engineering. But Pratt senior Brian Stempel has handled this workload with ease, even finding the time to become heavily involved in Duke Student Government. Youno Stempel, one ofthree Young Trustee finalists, said he believes he is wellqualified for the position because he ■" ; has worked for two years with members of the Board of Trustees. Tm one of two [DSGI student representatives who meet with the committees,” said Stempel, who served as a student representative to Board’s Academic Affairs Committee last year and is now on the Board’s Student Affairs Committee. “My biggest goal would be to take advantage of the fact that I’ve had two years to get to know members of the Board.” Of his four years with DSG, he has spent

three as a legislator. He has served as a member of Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, helped draft the bylaws for Krzyzewskiville in spring 1998 and created his own position as director of DSG computing. His involvement does not end there, however, “My favorite unofficial position has been helping to run Krzyzewskiville,” he said. “I find myself out there many more hours than anyone would ask of me.” But the transition from DSG devotee to Young Trustee could be a difficult one for Stempel.‘The Board has made it clear that their j°b is not to micromanage, to provide guidance,” he said. ' “Staying within the core job responsibility may be somewhat of a challenge, just because it will be so tempting to try to dig deeper.” Stempel would most like to serve on the Board’s Buildings and Grounds Committee, which he feels will play a critical role as the University’s master plan is implemented over the next few years. He said he would particularly enjoy discussing the long-term future of Trent Dormitory and Central Campus. See STEMPEL on

Forbes drops out of presidential race By MICHAEL CROWLEY The Boston Globe

After spending more than $66 million on his elusive White House dream, conservative magazine publisher Steve Forbes will drop out of the Republican presidential race Thursday, winnowing the GOP field to three. A day after he finished a disappointing third in Delaware’s Republican primary, Forbes abruptly canceled campaign events in Michigan and returned to his New Jersey home. He is scheduled to formally announce his exit from the race at a Washington press conference. Forbes’ exit did not seem to promise major shifts in the GOP race, which has come down to a contest be-

tween Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Arizona Sen. John McCain, with former Ambassador Alan Keyes trailing far behind.

A Gallup poll conducted last weekend showed Forbes with just 2 percent of the Republican vote nationwide. In South Carolina, home ofthe next Republican primary on Feb. 19, Forbes has been stalled below 5 percent in most polls. Still, both Bush and McCain sought to claim the backing of Forbes supporters Wednesday. “It may help us,” McCain said in South Carolina Wednesday. “We’re already hearing from a lot of them that are coming on board.” “I think Til have a good chance to pick up a lot of his support, and I look forward to working hard to pick up his support,” Bush said. “He injected a lot of interesting ideas into the discourse.” Forbes aides said he will not endorse any candidate at this time, but that he may in the future.

Beloved manager, Benetton ads spark controversy father dies at 49 Chester Holleman, a 16-year mail services employee, lost a long battle with cancer and died Sunday at Durham Regional Hospital. By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

Chester Holleman, a dedicated Duke employee and fan who worked in postal operations for more than 16 years, died Sunday afternoon after a long battle with cancer. He was 48. Holleman’s co-workers and friends described the manager ofmail services as a man wholly devoted to students, fellow employees and the institution. Mike Trogdon, supervisor of postal window services on West Campus, worked with and for Holleman for more than 10 years. He said Holleman’s death came as a shock to him and his co-workers. Holleman chose to keep news of his condition to himself until he fell very ill a couple ofweeks ago. “He had a good sense of humor,” Trogdon said. “He was completely dedicated to Duke. Chester was a huge Duke fan, and I just really think he was a good boss and a hard-working person.” One ofHolleman’s most significant achievements was engineering a new mail system when Duke post office took over for the United States Postal Service. Holleman especially enjoyed working with students. Many times, undergraduates would request his help when they worked on projects to optimize the mail system. Steve Burrell, a long-time Auxiliary Services administrator who worked with Holleman for more than six years, said Holleman was always open to this scrutiny and not only embraced, but See HOLLEMAN on page 16

ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle Although you won’t find Benetton in any of Durham’s shopping malls, you will soon find its latest advertising campaign—which blurs the line between social activism and advertising itself—in media across the country. The company’s full magazine advertisement, which depicts stories and photographs of 26 death row inmates, has drawn criticism from prison officials who claim Benetton misrepresented itself to them, victims’ rights groups

and advertising experts. Company representatives said the photo essay is just the latest in a series of campaigns designed to raise social awareness, but corrections officials in Missouri, Kentucky and North Carolina said lawyers for Benetton misled them when requesting access to inmates. State officials are now discussing taking legal action against the company. . N.C. Correction Secretary Theodis Beck wrote a letter to Benetton Feb. 4 explaining his concerns. “At no time did the representatives of the Benetton campaign advise the Department of Correction that inmate photos and information would be part of Benetton’s commercial advertising,” he wrote. He has requested that the company stop distributing the material they obtained in North Carolina prisons. But Benetton officials denied any wrongdoing, claiming they informed officials of the project’s nature. “In all the letters, it clearly mentioned that Benetton is the sponsor,” said Mark Major, director of communications for Benetton USA. “I’ve heard of nobody being able to take any kind of legal action, and I doubt they’ll be able to.” In a preliminary letter dated July 14, 1999, Project Coordinator Julie Wasson did mention that the photographer for the project was sponsored by Benetton and even titled the letter “Benetton project.” But Tracy Little, a spokesperson for the Department of Correction, pointed out that there had been no mention of “billboards, web sites or advertising associated with the Benetton name.” The decision to - expand the campaign beyond the photo essay, however, took place Nov. 18, long after the interviews, said Speedy Rice, a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, which conducted much ofBenetton’s original negotiations with officials. ‘There was no reason to go back to the prisons as we did not need further access,” he wrote in an e-mail. And although a letter dated July 20 claimed that the compilation would take no stance on the death penalty and Major still argues that it did not, the layout and interviews in Talk magazine suggest otherwise. The supplement opens with the quote “I’m not ready to die”

S Harvey Lee Green, in the ad above, was executed Sept, 25,1999. spread out over two pages, and the remainder is filled with striking images of inmates and articles that take a very clear anti-death penalty stance. Rice admits the articles are intended to “humanize the inmate.... If humanizing a death row inmate is considered a bias against the death penalty, it is another reason to consider why we have a punishment that we can only live with if the inmate is dehuman-

ized,” he wrote. The compilation has sparked nationwide debate between death penalty advocates and opponents. Several family members of the victims of the pictured inmates have organized a Feb. 16 protest in front of Benetton’s

New York City corporate headquarters. Although Dr. Joanne Wilson, a Duke gastroenterology professor whose deceased brother’s murderer is featured in the campaign, will not join the rally, she praised the protest and criticized Benetton. “I applauded the efforts that they were taking to at least express more public outrage...,” she said. “I was most dismayed that [Benetton] would use the suffering of victims... and inmates... to sell clothes.” But death penalty opponents have praised the campaign. T think it’s great.... It’s a really innovative idea,” See BENETTON on page 9 �

Although outnumbered in the classroom, some female engineers say they are treated as equals. Others

say both intimidation and differing expectations are part of the equation. By Lucy Stringer

When

it comes to being outnumbered in the Pratt School of Engineering, there is one thing women don’t need to worry about: “At least we know that at the Engineering Ball we won’t have any trouble finding someone to dance with,” said Erin Burton, a Pratt sophomore. Men outnumber women at Pratt by a ratio of three to one; of 1,847 applicants to Pratt’s class of 2003, 570 were women. Of the 780 accepted, 233 were women, and 75 of the 284 current freshmen are women, according to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. These numbers are well above the national average—which usually hovers below 20_ percent, said Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions Stacy Rusak. Despite these figures, female engineering students hold their own in the classroom. “I was one of four girls in a class of 120,” said Pratt one with an interest in engineering will be able to take advantage of what the school has to offer. sophomore Julie Kempton of her introductory comput“Engineering is a great career—flexible, fluid, travit wasn’t er class. “Surprisingly, that overwhelming. eling at Internet speed—with terrific salaries and now You just have to be sure of yourself.” Women and men transfer from Pratt to Trinity stock options,” she wrote in an e-mail. “The Pratt College at about the same rate, said Connie Simmons, School is committed to making these opportunities assistant dean for undergraduate programs.

the undergraduate level. Sarah Scolnik, a Pratt senior, said she fears gender dynamics in the workplace could be less amicable. “I am concerned about whether there will be enough women where I end up working,” she said. “I am concerned about being treated unfairly. I might feel a bit uncomfortable in an atmosphere of all men who are part of a ‘good old boys’ network. I’m definitely thinking about it as I look for jobs.” Ping Gao, a fourth-year graduate student in electrical engineering, shared some of Scolnik’s concerns. “Once you’ve made it this far, you get used to [being outnumbered],” she said. But in the workplace, she said, sexism might be more prevalent. “Being the only woman at a conference might prove a bit awkward,” she said. Glasgow said she experienced gender problems firsthand during her summer internship. “You really have to prove to the men that you know what you’re doing,” she said. “In some ways, though, [being a woman] works to your advantage. I was just at the career fair, and they love seeing women engineers.” During his past 18 years of teaching, Ybarra said he has noticed that some of the most creative approaches to problem solving come from female students. “Women draw on a wider and more comprehensive and eclectic range of experiences,” he said, noting that he does not consider one gender superior to the other in problem-solving capabilities. “Both women and men make great engineers and both are equally adept at solving problems,” he said. In its efforts to make engineering comfortable for female students, the University appears to be overcoming the national trend favoring male engineers. “I have always felt extremely encouraged,” said Anne Jackson, a Pratt senior. “I’ve never been singled out because I was a woman, but always included and respected because of it.”

McDonald’s boosts Armadillo’s business � While the fast food giant is helping the neighboring Tex-Mex eatery, it has hit Chick-Fil-A hard, knocking its sales down more than 10 percent. By ELIZABETH BROWN The Chronicle

Apparently, Ronald McDonald isn’t the only one glad he decided to park his Big Macs at Duke. In addition to McDonald’s 104 percent increase in customers and 123 percent increase in dollar sales over Burger King’s opening month in fall 1993, the neighboring Armadillo Grill has profited from the arrival of this fast food giant. But Chick-Fil-A sales were down an average of $798 per day last month compared to sales in January 1999. The restaurant generally does $6,000 to $7,000 in business each day. “We’ll have a better litmus test in February because ofthe snow days and holidays,” said Assistant Director of Dining Services Bruce Eckmeder, adding that the loss was probably due to a combination of McDonald’s arrival and the snow days. On the other hand, Armadillo Grill General Manager Gary Harrison, who would not release his sales figures for this month, said he could not be happier that McDonald’s has finally moved in. “I’m very fortunate to have a restaurant within 20 yards of the nation’s largest restaurant,” he said. “If anything, I feed off of that.” The grill also opened a full-scale bar this semester, and the beer has likely increased its food sales, too. McDonald’s franchise owner Ric Richards agreed that the relationship has proven to be symbiotic. “It’s See MCDONALD’S on page 16 �

It’s important to listen to people, but it’s a fact of life: We’re not perfect and we make mistakes.” Norton said the store has gone to extreme measures to ensure that students get the books they need when they need them.

Associated Press

ISTANBUL, Turkey Abdullah Ocalan’s rebel group announced Wednesday it will end its 15-year guerrilla insurrection against Turkey and instead pursue a political struggle for Kurdish rights. Turkey has rejected previous overtures from the rebels of the Kurdistan Workers Party or PKK as insincere and is unlikely to welcome the move. Turkish Interior Minister Sadettin Tantan refused to comment. “There will be no reaction from authorities,” predicted Ali Nihat Ozcan of the Eurasia Strategic Research Institute. “Turkish authorities are determined not to do anything until the PKK lays down its arms.” In a statement Wednesday, the PKK said it would continue its battle for Kurdish rights within the “framework of peace and democratization.”

The announcement is part of the group’s attempt to transform itself from a guerrilla force into a political organization after major defeats on the battlefield and Ocalan’s death sentence last summer.

The rebels said the PKK’s armed wing would be reorganized, but phasing it out would depend on the “democratic transformation of Turkey and the resolution of the Kurdish question.” Peace is also “inseparably” linked to Ocalan’s fate. The rebels will “protect their armed strength until they have guarantees on the life of Ocalan,” said Ozcan. Ocalan was sentenced to death for treason and separatism in June. Turkey has decided to wait for the European Court ofHuman Rights to rule on his appeal before it decides whether to hang him.

Hezbollah thwarts peace effort in southern Lebanon, Golan By DEBORAH SONTAG N.Y. Times News Service

JERUSALEM A tense state of anticipation gripped much of the Middle East Wednesday as Israelis and Arabs waited to see whether the conflict in

Lebanon would defuse or intensify and revive active hostilities between Israel and its neighbors. Israel once again bombed southern Lebanon, and Shiite Muslim guerrillas continued firing mortar shells at Israeli outposts. An Israeli soldier killed Tuesday was buried. And Israeli residents on the northern border endured their second full day in musty concrete bunkers, while Lebanese civilians spent their second day with only sporadic generatorpowered light and heat. By Wednesday it became clear: with the acquiescence or assistance of Syria, guerrillas ofthe Iranian-backed Hezbollah, or Party of God, in Lebanon have

succeeded in setting back the regional peace effort, which they oppose. They have pushed Prime Minister Ehud Barak of Israel, a warrior turned peacemaker, back into his warrior role, as he reluctantly ordered a second day of bombings—this time, limited—in retaliation for the guerrillas’ killing of six Israeli soldiers in the last two weeks. And in much of the Arab world they have recast Israel as a suspect partner in peace—if not a villain. “Hezbollah has taken actions that

have deteriorated the situation,” said Martin Indyk, the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Those interested in peace, he said, should ensure that “Hezbollah is not allowed to destroy the peace process.” Inside Israel, the renewed fighting revived debate about the purpose of Israel’s presence in southern Lebanon, which was questioned Wednesday even by soldiers stationed there—a very rare

event. But it also underscored Israelis’ skepticism about the peace effort with Syria, making it, all the harder for Barak to win public backing if the negotiations resume. Many Israelis believe that President Hafez Assad of Syria is responsible for the bloodshed in Lebanon, for using Hezbollah as a proxy to press Israel into making concessions at the negotiating table. Many have called for Barak, who has pledged to withdraw troops from southern Lebanon by July in the context of an Israeli-Syrian agreement, to pull out now, unilaterally. Such a move, they say, would rob Syria of that lever.

Within Israel’s political establish-

ment, the violence in Lebanon has also reinforced the preference of many dovish politicians to make a priority of the Israeli-Palestinian peace effort, which is also stalled. Barak and Amnon

Lipkin-Shahak, another former general

who is a cabinet minister, have been almost alone in wanting to give Syrian talks precedence, officials say. Wednesday, Israel and Syria traded recriminations for the breakdown of peace talks into violence. Breaking character with his sixmonth-old government’s oratory of peace, Foreign Minister David Levy issued a fire-breathing threat that “the soil ofLebanon will burn” if the guerrillas launch rockets into northern Israel. The comment immediately reverberated negatively through the Arab world. Syria sent out mixed signals. In Tishrin, a government newspaper, the Syrians declared that “the mask came off Barak’s face last night,” and “his real face, of bloodthirst, killing and destruction, was revealed.” But in the London-based Arab daily A1 Hayat, a senior official said Syria had asked Hezbollah to refrain from firing Katyusha rockets at Israel. .

interim suspension in place until we can figure out where the problems are.” Wallace has spoken to about half of Pi Phi’s pledges as well as other students, resident advisers and local bartenders. A representative from Pi Phi’s national organization will fly to Durham this Friday to look specifically into the incidents described in the letter. Jean Scott, national Pi Phi’s delegate to the National Panhellenic Conference, said she had not heard about the mixer. “Everything so far is originated and based on what appeared in the letter to the editor and some of those details I need to verify and confirm,” said Scott, who will be meeting with administrators and sorority members this weekend. “Until we know the facts and fallacies, there is no way to know where we go from here.” New Pi Phi President Erica Larsen, a Trinity junior, could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Although Scott would not comment on potential sanctions from the national organization, she said punishments can vary depending on cooperation from members and the chapter’s track record. Pi Phi has been active at Duke since 1933. “[This has] been very difficult on existing members, it’s been very difficult on pledges... expecting to join a support system and it’s been very difficult on the parents of these women, too,” Scott said. Wallace said penalties from the University could range, from mandatory educational programming to the chapter’s removal. Administrators said they could not remember the last time a Panhellenic Council sorority was kicked off campus.

Our first and foremost concern is not consequences,” Wallace said. “Our first and foremost concern is the safety of the girls and the people who attend Pi Phi

functions.” The temporary suspension presumably applies to “all activities, not necessarily [those] of a ‘strictly social’ nature,” said Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek, who did not have an exact definition of this penalty. Although Pi Phi is receiving a great deal of local media attention, it is not the only Greek organization currently under University investigation. Wallace stressed that she is also looking into the activities of several other

years ago. [But] we may have more students who drink at a very abusive level—who drink to the point of losing consciousness or control—than we had 10 years ago.”

Wasiolek added that these recent

sorority-related incidents imply that women are more involved in dangerous drinking than national media coverage, which usually focuses on fraternity life, might indicate. “It may be that these incidents have been occurring and for whatever reason we have not been aware of them,” she said. “[But] it may be that we’re experiencing a new phenomenon.” Investigations into both fraternities and sororities continue to raise questions sororities and fraternities; after sorting about whether greek life breeds an unthrough RA reports, she said, she is behealthy social atmosphere for its people. ginning to notice several groups whose Panhel President and Trinity junior Kate names continually pop up. “I was afraid Heath stressed that in general, sororities we were going down a road where it looks do not pressure their members into risky like some people are going to get hurt,” behavior. “Despite recent events, Panhel she said. “There have been a number of maintains that for a majority of women situations in the past couple of weekends on this campus,, joining a sorority has and throughout the year that have been been a wonderful choice,” she said. “Panvery concerning.” hel will do everything it can to ensure Vice President for Student Affairs that its new members have that same Janet Dickerson agreed that the need to positive experience.” address the campus’ drinking climate is But Wasiolek, citing national studies, becoming more and more urgent. “We are was less optimistic. “National statistics experiencing an alarming and potentially and research... indicate that membership critical situation involving binge drinkin a fraternity or sorority does provide a ing,” she said. greater opportunity for the abusive conWasiolek noted that the University’s sumption ofa1c0h01...,” Wasiolek said. “My alcohol scene appears polarized. ‘There hope and expectation is that Duke was seems to be some indication that the and continues to be different in that redrinking culture is leading in two ex- gard.

challenges ads’ ethics BENETTON from page 3 said Kara Minnix, president of the North Carolina- chapter of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty. By arguing that the campaign has nothing to do with promoting its products, Benetton has raised larger questions about the definition of an ad and, consequently, the ethical foundation of the campaign. John Sweeney, a journalism professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said the effort is clearly advertisement. “The g0a1... is to have people throughout

the world shocked at the images and to associate that shock and edginess with Benetton,” he said. And Sweeney criticized these tactics. “There’s a place where you cross the line into significant issues that are profound,” he said. “Advertising has to watch its step there—[the Benetton campaignl is not that significant and not that profound.”

The Benetton-affiliated Rice, a law professor at Gonzaga University, disagreed. “The photo essay is not commercial advertising, it is political speech as a social human rights statement...,” he said. “It simply has their logo as the sponsoring company,”

Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

A poor strategy Breaking off the diplomatic lines of communication with Austria is a flawed strategy reminiscent of past errors in dealing with the extremist leaders of such governments.

Last

week, the far right gained more power in Austria, and governments around the globe flinched. For both internal protesters and international observers, the election of Jorg Haider’s Freedom Party, with 27 percent of the popular vote, was reminiscent ofthe country’s complicity with the Nazi government of the Third Reich during World War 11. Haider won with promises of government reform, economic booms, tax relief and, perhaps most troubling, xenophobic attitudes, directed at the increasing numbers of foreigners in the Central European country. Within a day after the election, both the United States and Israel had withdrawn their ambassadors, Germany had severed bilateral ties with the nation and the European Union was quickly moving toward turning the country into an outcast within the organization’s borders. Add on an internal protest that has laid siege to Vienna, and you get the picture of how seriously people are taking this newest development. The reaction of the international community has been sure and swift—perhaps too swift. Isolation of a nation that has elected a government in a free and fair election and has committed no violation of international law or human rights codes does not deserve to be treated like a rogue state. The actions of many Western countries on this front run counter to the democratic principles they are based on. As we learned from such historical episodes as the Treaty ofVersailles after World War I, isolation and severe sanctions can be more harmful to the security of the world than prescriptive to the offending country. When a nation has its back against the wall, such as Germany did in the years leading up to World War 11, there is no where to go except deeper inside itself and its people. This gives politicians an opportunity to fan the flames of xenophobia and racism and helps foster a government rooted in extreme nationalism and even fascism. The wrong way to combat xenophobia is to isolate a country by cutting off support and feeding the feelings of antagonism within a country to foreigners. The international community has every right to look suspiciously toward the rising government in Austria, and Austria has every right to expect that when they elect such a government that it will, in this global society, have worldwide implications. If Austria’s Freedom Party develops into something more sinister, countries should act accordingly. But when a party as distasteful as Haider’s comes to hold a significant amount of power, it is much more effective to increase contact and to become more involved in ensuring that history’s mistakes are not repeated.

They will scoff as members of the top tents beat a path to the Student Infirmary. “Why do they do it?” the average student will ask. And as of last week, I was asking these questions myself. Despite being a two-year veteran of top-five tents, I had little motivation to camp out again this year. There are a lot ofbad things associated with tenting at

I have seen drunken line monitors forget to do checks, leaving campers overnight in subfreezing temperatures. I’ve struggled with “tent nazis” who constantly complain that we are not “hard core” enough. I’ve been so cold that I’ve wondered if I would ever regain feeling in my toes. I’ve observed a system that—no matter who is in charge—will inevitably be corrupt, as students will always think of creative ways to sit besides their peers who have sacrificed so much. I’ve been frustrated with “fans” who claim to be the biggest fans in the world who yet can’t distinguish between Terrence Morris and Terrence Newby. And most of all, I’m sick ofscheduling a month ofmy life around a man with a bright bluejacket and a bullhorn. My mind was made up—l wasn’t going to tent. When my friends dragged me out there last week, I didn’t have the heart to say no at first—but I was convinced I would drop out at the earliest convenient excuse. And then I spent a night in Krzyzewski-ville. Not one of those silly one person per tent situations, but a night when seven people per tent had to be there. It was great to get back to the spirit of K-ville hanging out with friends, simultaneously wishing there was a check and savoring the unbridled joy that permeates the tent city. I felt very close to my six tentmates —granted, you’re going to feel very close to people when you fit seven bodies in a structure designed for four, but I digress. K-ville is a strange phenomenon. Right now, when it’s still just the hardest of the “hard-core” tenters, there is none of the animosity which defines the line later in the tenting period. When tent seven is in danger of missing a check, you don’t hear cheering, only people scrambling to find the tent’s representative. There is a tremendous sense of community out there. “Building community” is all the rage these days. It can be used to justify a residential overhaul, a new curriculum and other such high-level gobbledygook. But if you want to really want to build community, take a look at the patch of grass in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium—the bonds that tie these citizens together are much stronger than any selective house or student organization I can remember. And what is the price ofjoining this community? A few cold nights and wet feet. Hey, we all have to make sacrifices.

I thought that I would take a break from humor, just this once, to commemorate a season that has meant so much to me. This column is my own tribute to springtime. I remember when I was just a youngster. Father and mother would take us all into the country for a

splendid weekend of hiking and strawberry picking! When we got back to our cabin, mother would make the most wonderful pies! I would take one of the pies, and declare that I could eat it all by myself! Then father would say, “No, you are just a small boy, you certainly cannot eat that entire pie!” Brother and sister would laugh also, and tell me that I was an unwanted child, but I would just say, “Now father, I am going to eat this pie!” Then I would just shove the entire thing into my mouth, and then I would vomit all over everything. Baking pies was delightful! I also remember the joys of sailing out on the lake. There is nothing more delightful than moving across the water with the wind on one’s face! Brother would take me onboard the Sunfish, and we would make our way out of the cove. Soon we would fly across the water, and that is when brother and I played an ever so delightful game called “throw off.” Brother had a

very strange sense of humor. Sometimes he would steal my life preserver and throw me off the boat! This game was made especially exciting by my inability to swim. I would flail about in the water for days, and ultimately wash up on the shore of Vermont days later. Sometimes, while in the water, I would see a very dark tunnel with a light at the end, and a voice telling me “It is not your time! Go back mortal! Go back!” How I loved to play that game! On Sundays, father would take us all down to the farm to see the animals! We all loved to see and pet the lovely little animals, especially the little chickadees! Sometimes our cousins, who mother said came from a “grossly dysfunctional family” would come along. They tried to set the animals on fire, and father said that they couldn’t ever come again! He called them “little wackos!” Father could be ever so funny! We would get to meet the farmer, and he would talk to us about his cows. Oh, farmer Hank was such a kind man. He would talk about how close he felt to his cows, especially since his wife left him. Then he would put on a Marvin Gaye album and very politely ask us to leave. He was an ever so strange fellow! Oh, there is no season like springtime. Not even winter, with fun games like “Push you under the ice,” or summer, when brother and I would play “Does flesh blister after prolonged sun exposure without suntan lotion?” Despite these exhilarating games, the spring remains my favorite season. So it is that I say, to every young man and woman on this campus, “In with springtime!”

Trinity sophomore Demo Vachon’s family is more supportive than this... we hope.

Speaker debunks myths Attacks on major Internet of famous doctor’s death servers spark quick alarm �DREW from page 5 Even though Drew’s myth is

false, she said, some emergency rooms did turn black people away. Love cited the case of Matthew Avery, a student at the North Carolina School of Agriculture and Technology who, like Drew, died in 1950 from a car accident. Unlike Drew, however, Avery was refused treatment—by Duke Hospital. This incident created an uproar in North Carolina and made the front page of The Carolina Times. “The experiences of Avery and Drew were merged into one in the minds of people,” Love explained. She believes that the growth of the myth about Drew resulted less from a practical mistake than from a soci-

ological phenomenon. Love said blacks in the South saw a pattern of discrimination and naturally assumed that Drew’s case

was typical. That such a well-known story grew out of Drew’s death says more

about the effects of segregation than it does about the actual facts, she added. Drew worked as the director of blood for Britain at the beginning of World War II and eventually for the Red Cross of America. Ironically, his blood was not accepted because of the Armed Services’ policy to take

only white persons’ blood. After Drew lobbied to change this policy, the Red Cross developed a segregated system of blood banking. As a result of Drew’s successful research career in blood storage, myths surrounding his death spread even further. “The tale of his mistreatment has grown into a full-blown legend,” Love said. “When I first read about him, I thought he was a cardboard cut-out type, too good to be true. He combined unusual kindness with

strict discipline.” Love said studying the growth of Drew’s legend has given her a new perspective on history. Emphasizing the importance of questioning every situation in full, she warned that no story is beyond investigation and interpretation. “Not surprisingly, I came away with the idea that historical truths and historical facts are very different,” she said. The lecture—which was'delayed due to snow—was to be given in conjunction with a blood drive in

Drew’s honor. Trinity junior Matthew Baugh, co-president of the University’s chapter of the American Red Cross, said the drive—which occurred last month —collected 54 pints of blood, double the original goal.

VANDALS from page 2

bars and fines up to $250,000, or in some cases “twice the gross loss to the victim,” said FBI cyber-security expert Ronald Dick. In the latest attacks, the ETrade online brokerage’s web site was hit, but “customer accounts were never compromised,”

spokesman

Patrick

Chiro said.

Less than one-fifth of its customers were affected by the clogged traffic for about 90 minutes before the company blunted the attack, he said. ZDNet.Com, a popular news site that covers technology, said its web site was shut down for two hours and “appeared to have been the target of a denial-of-service attack.”

Microsoft’s MSN.com, another highly visited site, said it was indirectly affected because of disruptions to several Internet service providers carrying its traffic.

A small proportion of users were unable to reach web pages and others may have been unable to log on, said Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla. Major sites that came under attack Tuesday included eßay, Amazon, CNN and Buy.Com, all in unusually aggressive assaults similar to one that overwhelmed Yahoo! a day earlier. Some security experts noted that the attacks occurred around a threeday

meeting of Internet

service

providers in San Jose, Calif., that ended Tuesday. The keynote speech at the meeting focused on denial of service attacks and was given Monday. Hackers sometimes try to get publicity by timing attacks around certain events.

Federal officials urged businesses to install protective software and take other security precautions. Sensitive government systems were being secured against attacks. “Right now there is no surefire defense, but we are trying to take some

steps,” Commerce Secretary William Daley said. “First we are taking special action to ensure that all federal systems, including civilian agency systems, and those of the Defense Department, are clean of these infections, which make some systems the unwitting partner in these attacks.” Some security experts said the publicity could merely encourage

pranksters. “It’s what these guys go after—to be known as the person or group of people who’ve pulled these attacks off,” said Simon Perry, security business manager at Computer Associates International, a maker of business software. “Instead of graffiti on the subway wall, they’ve climbed up to the 40th floor of the Empire State Building and put their messages there.”

It really compliments Armadillo Grill and the Alpine [Atriuml,” said Richards, who graduated from from Duke’s school of nursing in 1976. “Now students can come as a group to the Bryan Center and take care of all their needs, rather than being limited to one or two choices.” Now that the Atrium, Armadillo Grill and McDonald’s are all located under one roof, foot traffic in the Bryan Center has increased dramatically, Harrison said. Trinity junior Jordan Gootnick said he visits the Bryan Center much more frequently this year. “Even if [McDonald’sl is too busy, I can go to Armadillo Grill or [Alpinel Atrium, whereas before I would not even have come to the Bryan Center for food,” he said. On the night of the men’s basketball game at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, for example, the proximity of McDonald’s and Armadillo was a bonus for both the restaurants and their patrons. Students gathered in the Armadillo to watch the game on a big-screen television, dashing for food and drinks from both restaurants during the time-outs.

“Where else could you have a beer and a Big Mac?” Harrison said. “It was like a big living room with two big refrigerators.”

On the other hand, Chick-Fil-A, a University-owned and operated eatery, is reeling from its losses. Tm not a big chicken eater,” said Trinity freshman Jay Barry. “McDonald’s is my favorite anyway. Their fries are much better than waffle fries.” But Trinity sophomore Carlo Bertucci disagreed. “McDonald’s is too greasy,” he said. “Chick-Fil-A is real chicken, not ground-up stuff. The

fries, though, are pretty close Although many diners are choosing to bask in the heat lamp of the golden arches, some of the more health-conscious students on campus are drawing the line at the new fried food. “In general, girls tend to go toward the bagels and salads. At least at this school,” said Trinity sophomore Robin Merritt. “I think a lot of guys go towards [McDonald's! though.” In the next few months, Richards said he hopes to bring new features to the Bryan Center restaurant, including softer lighting and music to enhance the ambiance of the “upscale urban eclectic” setting that was the original goal. He said he will start a late-night breakfast trial run in late February. ”

following an ice storm, spent the entire day together delivering checks to Duke employees. “He worked himself up from his shoelaces to become a manager,” Burrell said. “With a lot of things that have changed here, like technology, he always got his work done. He’s earned anything that comes his way, now or after.” At a 2 p.m. memorial service in the Chapel yesterday, one ofHolleman’s five brothers described the loving father and Boy Scout leader as living life by the Scout law.

� All-ACC academic team

Maryland turns the streak around against Duke Gary Williams sees the win in Cameron as one of the top highlights of his 22-year coaching career

The ACC named seven Blue Devils to the All-Academic squad yesterday. Chris Combs, Terrence Dupree, Ben Erdeljac, Sims Lenhardt, Gannon Shepherd, Ryan Stallmeyer and Letavious Wilks made the team. Lenhardt, a sociology major, led all members with a semester GPA of 4.0.

With one mighty heave at the horn, Maryland forward Danny Miller emphatically pronounced to the world that for once, the Maryland Terrapins have finally walked out of Cameron not embarrassed, but ecstatic, not dejected, but euphoric.

his career, Morris had gone into a Duke game believing his team could win; five times in his career, Morris had walked away from the court tasting defeat. And for the game’s first 35 minutes, it looked very much like Feb. 9, 2000 would add another bitter chapter to Morris’ experience with Duke. Shane Battier had completely outclassed the preseason ACC player of the year at both ends of the court. For the second straight season, Battier exploded offensively against Morris and the Terrapins at Cameron, firing in a career-high six three-pointers and 28 points. On the defensive end, Battier and the Blue Devils held Morris to nine points on 4-of-19 shooting from the floor. “In the first half, Terence had

N.C. State suffers its first home loss By ELIZABETH DAVIS Associated Press

Ed Cota’s assess70 RALEIGH, N.C. UNC ment of North Carolina State’s new NCSU "62 arena is simple. He prefers the old Reynolds Coliseum. But despite Cota’s dislike for the Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Arena, North Carolina beat the Wolfpack 70-62 Wednesday night and stopped N.C. State’s home winning streak at 14. “It feels good to be the first team to beat them at home,” said Cota, who had 11 assists and six points on 2-for-9 shooting from the floor. “It’s a great atmosphere. The fans get under your skin.... But I would rather play in Reynolds. I couldn’t buy a shot in this gym.”

W&M upsets Duke for 2nd year in a row By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle

6 Of all the things head coach Jaime W&M Ashworth would’ve liked his 2000 squad 3 to copy from its 27-win predecessor, losing Duke to William & Mary was not one ofthem. For the second straight season and the third time in four meetings, the Blue Devils’ first road trip of the year ended in an upset loss as No. 15 William & Mary (4-1) topped the No. 5 Blue Devils (3-1) 6-3 in a late match in Williamsburg last night. But the Blue Devils, who began the season on neutral courts in Hawaii, made it interesting. Five of the six singles matches went to three sets, stretching the contest from its unusually late 5 p.m. start time to past 10 p.m. Junior Kathy Sell claimed the lone two-set match of the day, defeating William & Mary’s No. 3 seed Jessyca Arthur 6-2, 6-3. Despite holding the early 1-0 lead, the Blue Devils were unable to capitalize on the momentum. Four of the five remaining matches went to William & Mary, with only top seed Megan Miller scratching out a victory for the Blue Devils. And it’s likely the Blue Devils, a team whose strength year in and year out lies in its singles lineup, were more than a little surprised. Just once during its 27-4 season of a year ago was Duke defeated 4-2 in singles, and that was to then-No. 1 Florida in the national semifinals. Yet the situation wasn’t all that unfamiliar. In its

season-opening tournament in Hawaii, Duke split singles with Washington, needing two out of the three doubles. The Blue Devils responded by winning all three doubles matches. But last night, it was William & Mary, headlined by the doubles team of Delphine Troch and Caroline Van Rossum that owned the doubles lineup. Duke’s No. 1 team of Erica Biro and Brooke Siebel managed to stretch the Tribe to an extra game, but Biro and Siebel, last year’s No. 2 doubles squad fell 9-

7 to Troch and Van Rossum. The Blue Devils’ No. 2 doubles team of Miller and highly

touted freshman Hillary Adams grabbed the only doubles victory for the Blue Devils, breezing through Arthur and Lindsay Sullivan, 8-1. It was the first match of the season on the mainland for the Blue Devils and the fourth overall, following a weekend excursion to Hawaii to start the season in January. And it was also the first lineup change ofthe season. While Miller stayed constant atop the singles lineup, sophomore Erica Biro moved up a notch, replacing Sell and for the first time this season Duke’s freshman class filled out the bottom of the lineup, with Adams at No. 4, Katie Granson, who is recovering from shoulder problems, at No. 5 and Prim Sirpipat at No. 6. Despite the three recent losses, Duke remains 135 overall against William & Mary.

The Tar Heels have not lost in Raleigh since dropping a 78-75 game Feb. 3, 1996. That was a year before Cota, one of only two seniors on the team, arrived at North Carolina. In his first visit to Reynolds on Feb. 12,1997, Cota hit the game-winning shot with 4.6 seconds left for a 45-44 win. “The one thing right now standing out in my mind is the play of Ed Cota. He was just dominant,” said N.C. State coach Herb Sendek. “We didn’t have an answer for his penetration. He doesn’t seem to get rattled.” Brendan Haywood scored 19 points and Joseph Forte added 16 as the Tar Heels beat N.C. State for the fifth time in a row. Damon Thornton led the Wolfpack with 18 points. “Brendan Haywood is big inside. We don’t have a lot of size right now,” Sendek said. N.C. State got as close as five in the final one and a halfminutes, but could not overcome the Tar Heels’ 40-point performance in the paint. Thornton’s putback and free throw trimmed North Carolina’s lead to 63-58 with 1:32 to go, but Cota sealed the win with a three-pointer. Max Owens then tipped in one of Cota’s missed free throws to restore a 10-point lead at 68-58. Justin Gainey hit a three and then grabbed a loose ball and hit a layin with 5:01 to go to cut the lead to 57-52. But North Carolina’s lead increased to nine, 61-52, after Kris Lang’s layin with 3:46 to go. “That was a great win for us,” North Carolina coach Bill Guthridge said. ‘We had more possessions, which means we outrebounded, and to out rebound N.C. State is quite an accomplishment.” The Tar Heels, which had 46 boards to the Wolfpack’s 31, increased its two-point halftime lead to eight with an 18-9 run.

Morris, who scored 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and added five steals, buried consecutive three-pointers to silence the crowd and put the Terrapins up 89-83. Freshman Steve Blake then drove baseline and nailed a medium-range jumper to put the Blue Devils in their biggest hole of the game. Duke had one last chance with 57 seconds left when Jason Williams grabbed the rebound off a missed threepoint attempt by Nate James, but rather than reset the offense, Duke’s freshman point guardrushed another hurried trey with Blake in his face. Blake rejected Williams’ shot, and the Terps found Morris open for a thundering slam that sealed their biggest win ofthe season. “Those two threes were huge,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Everyone has kind of been downplaying how he was supposed to be player of the year in the conference, but Terence Morris is a great player. He has allowed these other guys on the team to have their roles, but he is a hell of a player.” While the Terrapins relied on Morris to hit clutch shot after clutch shot down

the stretch, the unstoppable duo of sophomores Lonny Baxter and Juan Dixon helped Maryland jump out to a sizzling start. Baxter was the go-to-man for the Terrapins early in the game, especially in the first half when he pounded home 14 of his 22 points. Neither freshman Carlos Boozer nor sophomore Matt Christensen had an answer for Baxter, who dominated the paint and pulled down five of his 10 rebounds off the offensive glass. Dixon, on the other hand, enjoyed the single most impressive performance on offense against the Blue Devils all season. Frequently guarded by defensive stopper Chris Carrawell, Dixon proceeded to score 31 points, the most by any player against Duke this January. Despite being hounded by Duke’s top two perimeter defenders in James and Carrawell, the speedy guard scored at will on drives, floaters in the lane and jumpers. With a little over seven minutes left, Dixon rallied his team from a 77-74 deficit to a threepoint lead by scoring eight consecutive points for Maryland. “Dixon was fabulous —not good, or really good—he was fabulous,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s the best performance against us this year by an individual. He was so efficient; he was beautiful to watch.”

to win the ACCs and help lead our team to the NCAA Championships.” Krauss strongly believes that his patience and controlling style of play directly mirrors the way he was brought up. While other golfers were trying to see how far they could hit the ball on the range, Krauss was on the putting green learning how to score. “My parents gave me the golf course and said you can play it whenever you want, but they never forced me into playing,” Krauss said. “It was only when I expressed interest in the game that they started helping me participate in tournaments, but they

and junior years,” Krauss said. “It was then that I hooked up with a very good instructor who mentally turned my game on. That, along with the physical development aspect, dropped me from a seven-handicap to a plusone in a year. “It was always during high school that I just wanted to get into a good Division I school. Of course, growNorth mg Carolina, I always loved Duke, especially Duke basketball, and that’s where I wanted to go ever since I was young.” When Krauss arrived in Durham, he immediately for qualified “He has been the Duke’s first tournament and all seemed to be biggest reason for going well, but then OLir SUCC6SS.... He trouble struck. The N.C gave us a huge lift native was happy that be had accomplished all last Spring. of his goals, but he was Coach Rod Myers not playing well. ,

Then the unthinkable happened. The day before the Duke Classic, the then-freshman was taken to the hospital at 2 a.m. for an emergency appendectomy. The surgery put him out of action for the rest of the fall, but where most people would look at the incident as a setback, Krauss saw the positive in the unfortunate event. “During that break, I got to get my studies done, go home for Christmas and really sit back and look at where I was,” he said. “I wasn’t happy with how I was playing, so I set some goals to just be as prepared for every round and have the confidence that I can win out there. I think that is what did it for me, realizing that I was as good as anyone out there.” After taking time off from golf, Krauss came back rejuvenated and ready to lead the Blue Devils back into contention. “He has been the biggest reason for our success,” coach Rod Myers said. “He is a quiet leader who likes to lead by example.

Championship win, I believe, was the culmination of doing what I set out to do,” Krauss said. “As I learned and found out, there is a lot of luck that goes into winning a tournament. I didn’t expect to win the ACCs, but I wasn’t surprised that I won. At that time, I was playing with a lot of confidence and I knew I could compete with these guys.” Krauss finished off his spectacular spring of 1999 with a 12th-place finish at the NCAA Championships, which earned him an honorable mention AllAmerica selection. After resting up during the summer, Krauss is playing some of the best golf of his life and has the Blue Devils ranked third in their district and 17th in the nation. The sophomore posted three top-10 finishes this fall, and Krauss sees no reason why Duke can’t win an NCAA title before he graduates. And if one day in the future, you see the name Matt Krauss on the top of a PGA tour leaderboard, don’t be surprised—you know he won’t be.

Blake plays it cool, Tech stops losing streak against UVa leaves Cameron 1-0 By PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

Freshman Clarence 68 ATLANTA Moore scored 15 points and Alvin Jones Virginia 47 blocked seven shots as Georgia Tech snapped a four-game losing streak in the Atlantic Coast Conference, routing Virginia 68-47 Wednesday night. Georgia Tech (11-11, 3-6 ACC) took control with an 18-0 run in the first half, limiting Virginia (15-8, 5-5) GaTech

� MARYLAND from page 17 which way but in, the Frederick, Md. native kept demanding the ball. With just over five minutes left in the contest, Morris took the first Maryland shot on three straight possessions, missing on a long three, a short turnaround and another short jumper. But like Wile E. Coyote, Morris kept on coming. After Jason Williams had knotted the game at 83 with a driving lay-up fresh out ofthe last TV timeout of the game, Morris untied the score by burying a three-pointer from the left corner. And a minute later, Morris twisted the knife into Duke’s 31-game regular season ACC winning streak and 46-game home winning streak by drilling another three from

the left wing. “I felt good with my shot early on, they just didn’t fall,” Morris said. “I’m one of the leaders on the team, so I’ve been through a lot and I know what to expect. Down the stretch, I have to hit shots when we need them and make plays when we need to. Today, I made a couple of threes.” Although Morris’ threes may have sealed Maryland’s win, they probably wouldn’t have mattered if the Terrapins had not began the game showing uncharacteristically strong composure. The Terps hit their first three shots and led by two after seven minutes, a far departure from their last three trips to Cameron. In each of those contests, the game was decided in its opening minutes. And a big reason for the strong start was the heady and collected play of Maryland’s freshman point guard, Steve Blake. Unlike the many previous freshmen who were swallowed by the crowd in their first appearance in Cameron, Blake calmly directed a deadly efficient Maryland offense. For the game, Blake logged 33 minutes and turned the ball over only twice, but most importantly, left the court with something rarer for an ACC player than a snowstorm in Durham—a perfect record in Cameron. “When we were warming up, they were yelling at us, talking to us, trying to get us out of our game,” Blake said of the crowd. “It feels good to silence them,... I’m looking forward to coming back here next year already.” Before Blake develops fuzzy feelings toward playing in Durham, the freshman may want to have a

word with his coach. But on this one night at least, Gary Williams’ agonizing saga in Cameron can have a happy ending.

matic turnaround in the rematch Virginia made only 28 percent from the field (16-of-58), finishing 15 points below its previous low-scoring game of the season. The Cavs, the ACC’s third-best shooting team (47 percent), made just 2-of-19 outside the three-point arc. Donald Hand, Virginia’s leading scorer at 16 points per game, fouled out with 3:52 remaining and just two points on the scoresheet, his worst performance of the season. Jones’ seven blocks were a career high for a conference game, though it was four short of his overall best. The Yellow Jackers won despite a subpar game by Jason Collier, who got into foul trouble and managed just seven points. Virginia led 15-11 after Roger Mason’s short jumper with 10:31 remaining in the first half. The Cavaliers didn’t score again for more than seven minutes as Georgia Tech reeled off 18 consecutive points.
