JOSEPH PRUEHER, U.S. ambassador to China, said yesterday that the nations now have a unique opportunity to work together. Prueher said, it can help China through its growing pains. “We can afford to act like a great nation...he said. “We have the opportunity to be a great presence in the world and we can’t squander this opportunity.” China’s major ongoing developments include an economic shift to an open-market economy, a move from the rule of an individual party to a system that proSee

Citing the juxtaposition of skyscrapers with rice paddies and of limousines with rickshaws, U.S. Ambassador to China Joseph Prueher noted the tension between the rapidly changing Chinese economy and government and the evolving nation’s need for tempered, thoughtful growth. In a talk Wednesday morning at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, Prueher spoke to a large crowd about China’s high-speed progress and how he thinks the United States ought to participate in it. “China is going through a time of government change and [the United States] has the opportunity to not control it, but influence it in ways that are good for both China and the US.,” he said. The newly appointed ambassador explained that turbulent relations between the United States and China, including the May bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, as well U.S. concerns over the China-Taiwan relationship, have recently hampered talks between the two nations. However, due to the tension over the this relationship, Prueher avoided taking any official stance on the issue. Prueher stressed that while easing these tensions may be difficult, China can be “a responsible global neighbor who we can work with in the future.” He noted that a productive relationship can only be built if each side understands the other’s differences. For example, he said, one of the major distinctions between the United States and China is security. Although the United States is blessed with few neighbors and secure borders, Prueher told the audience, China is far less lucky: The country is surrounded by 15 others, several ofwhich pose major security threats. Because the United States is in a stable position,

WASHINGTON The House voted 422-0 Wednesday to allow most Social Security recipients for the first time to earn as much money as they want without sacrificing any of their retirement benefits, repealing a Depression-era policy intended to discourage older people from holding jobs so younger workers would have a chance.

RALEIGH A student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and school officials are negotiating a compromise that could squelch Honor Court charges over her protest of a tobacco subsidiary’s campus recruiting.
Student Attorney General Drew Haywood said Wednesday that Marcia Harris, director ofthe Career Services Center, agreed not to pursue charges against junior Chiara D’Amore after the two reached a compromise Tuesday. Such an agreement would scuttle an Honor Court hearing scheduled Thursday night. However, Harris said Wednesday that the agreement was still being negotiated. “I certainly hope there will be an acceptable resolution,” she said.

Harris said the two had agreed not to discuss the terms of the agreement until it was final. Haywood said D’Amore approached Harris seeking a compromise. Harris then came to Haywood, who had decided the student-run judicial system would pursue charges against D’Amore. See

Musicians advocate cultural education Man follows student in By TREY DAVIS The Chronicle
Perkins
Before performing in Page Auditorium last night, members of the acclaimed South African singing group Ladysmith Black Mambazo spoke to a small group ofstudents and professors in the Mary Lou Williams Center. Group founder Joseph Shabalala and his brother, Jockey, took part in the forum on South African politics and music. The name Ladysmith Black Mambazo comes from the name of his hometown and the Zulu word “mambazo” meaning the ability to “chop down” the competition. Although this name might not sound familiar to many Americans, the group has provided vocals for many projects including The Lion King II and Paul Simon’s
Graceland album. “We’ve been all around the world. That was my dream, to spread our culture,” Shabalala said. “Now, I think, is our time to share with you our ideas.” For too long, he explained, the music of his people had been hidden from the public. Shabalala said South African music is rich and varied. However, he worries that traditional songs and dances will be lost unless an academy is built to preserve them. “Nobody takes care of it. There is no school for it,” he said. The worldwide success of Ladysmith Black Mambazo has helped renew interest among the younger generation, he said. Once apartheid ended in South Africa, African music found much greater acceptance.

balala said, explaining that he enjoyed being ranked by the judges. Once promoters took notice, it wasn’t long before Ladysmith Black Mambazo went on tour with Paul Simon. Although some people question his method of mixing traditional music with the sounds of recording artists such as Dolly Parton and Paul Simon, Shabalala thinks the ultimate purpose of the music is to share it with others. “Take the new and the old, put it together, and it will be nice,” Shabalala said.

Northeastern colleges consider S.C. tourism boycott By ROBERT KELLEY The Chronicle
The controversy over the tourism boycott of South Carolina has hit many Northeast college campuses, and some of them have already taken steps to support it. In response to the NAACP boycott, Temple University and Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Franklin & Marshall, Carlisle and Swarthmore colleges, which are all eastern Pennsylvania schools, have decided to cancel all their athletic teams’ spring break trips to South Carolina. Haverford College became the first of these schools to officially support the boycott when its women’s tennis coach, Ann Roger, told administrators that she didn’t want to take her team to a Hilton Head, S.C., tournament over spring break. Roger, who is black, said she was moved to change her plans when she saw the Martin Luther Ring Day protests in Columbia, S.C., on the local television news. “I am glad to see that people and organizations are taking a public stand over their feelings,” said Roger. “People have a tendency to stand but not act.” Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr soon followed Haverford’s lead. Tom Krattenmaker, director of public relations at Swarthmore, said that coaches, administrators and student-athletes were all in favor of supporting the boycott. “It’s been pretty close to consensus that this is what’s right to do,” he said. In a Feb. 11 statement, Dickinson College president William Durden echoed the sentiments of administrators from the other boycotting schools when he said, “Dickinson College will not endorse the activities nor forward business for any entity—in this case the state of South Carolina—that appears officially to celebrate such a painful time for our nation and our people—when we were divided, North and South, and when a good portion of our people were held in slavery.” Officials at all the participating schools agreed that they could have made a more powerful statement if they had made the announcement as a group. “If we did this again, we would have made the decision together,” said Greg Kannerstein, athletic director at Haverford.
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
AFTER SPRING FINALS, UNIVERSITY STUDENTS USUALLY TRAVEL to Myrtle Beach, pictured above. Now, students at many of the nation’s colleges are debating whether to honor the NAACP’s tourism boycott of South Carolina
Officials at Guilford College in North Carolina considered canceling the women’s tennis team’s planned spring break trip to South Carolina, but decided against it after considering the hassles that would accompany planning another trip. Meanwhile, a debate similar to the one at Duke rages at campuses where students traditionally vacation in South Carolina after finals week In a series of columns in The Yale Daily News, students have debated the merits of changing the destination of “Dead Week,” the week between finals and graduation when seniors typically vacation in Myrtle Beach.
“If we spend our senior break swimming in the waters ofMyrtle Beach, we will also send a message to all those here and outside the University who support and work for civil rights in this country,” wrote Yale students Rebecca Iniger and Simon Rodberg in a Feb. 18 column.
The boycott has not stirred as much controversy on the campus of the University of Virginia, another school that sends a large number of students to South Carolina in May, said UVa NAACP President Philippe Devieux. “I know a lot of people are not really thinking about the issue,” Devieux said.

Gore poised for decisive win next week on Super Tuesday By DAVID ESPO Associated Press
After a primary WASHINGTON drought comes the deluge in the Democratic presidential race, contests in 15 states in which Vice President A1 Gore appears poised to score a rout if not a sweep over Bill Bradley and gain a hammerlock on the nomination. In all, 1,315 delegates are at stake next Tuesday from Maine to California—and American Samoa. That’s more than half the total needed to win the nomination at this summer’s convention in Los Angeles. One of Bradley’s most prominent supporters said Wednesday a withdrawal was possible if the outcome was a bad one. Bradley himself said, “I have to win several. Clearly I have to win several.” In a turn of events that captured the
dynamic of the race, Gore collected his 36th endorsement from organized labor, the 320,000 member International Union of Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers. Bradley took solace from a decision by the Teamsters not to endorse either rival. Spokesperson Eric Hauser called it a “small but welcome victory for us. They decided not to go with the vice president.” Preparing for a last effort to break through, Bradley also readied new television commercials, including one that said “We have to liberate our government from the encrusted control of special interests.” v
“lowa and New Hampshire answered the fundamental questions” about the vice president’s candidacy in his favor, said Chris Lehane, Gore’s spokesperson. Following victories in the leadoff caucus and primary states five weeks ago, he added, “we’re focused on winning as many delegates as possible as quickly as possible.” Gore currently has 42 delegates, and Bradley has 27 in the AP tally. Bradley “knows that it’s going to take a miracle for him to win,” a Senate supporter, Bob Kerrey ofNebraska, said. He said Bradley had told him earlier in the week he will quit the race if he doesn’t do well in next week’s primaries. “But I don’t want that to turn into a prediction because it’s his decision to make,” the Nebraska lawmaker added. Bradley camped out in Washington State in recent days nursing hopes that a victory in the state’s nonbinding primary would re-energize his candidacy. That gambit fizzled, though, when Gore drew 68 percent of the vote Tuesday. “Tve said all along that March 7 is the starting point, and I think we’re going to surprise some people,” Bradley said Wednesday in California. But Gore holds a runaway lead in the polls in California, the biggest of the March 7 states. In fact, Bradley’s aides do not claim an advantage in any of next week’s primary and caucus states. The former New Jersey senator will focus much of his attention on See

Israeli bill may hinder Barak’s goals for peace UNC student Three coalition parties joined the opposition to make peace with Syria more difficult led surprise tobacco protest By DEBORAH SONTAG N.Y. Times News Service
Prime Minister JERUSALEM Ehud Barak suffered a political blow Wednesday when three ofthe six parties in his coalition government joined forces with the opposition to approve a bill that would require an absolute majority of all eligible voters, and not just those who report to the polls, on any future referendum on peace with Syria. The bill, which would make any
such future referendum extremely difficult to pass, revealed the instability of his broad-based coalition and complicates his peacemaking efforts at a time when he is trying to entice Syria back to the negotiating table. The draft bill, which defied Barak’s appeals for coalition unity, could well get tied up in committee deliberations and be prevented from returning to the floor for months. Many doubt it will ever become law. But the bill’s approval Wednesday, by a 60-53 vote, sends a signal to Syria, which is- already skittish, that even if Barak is willing to concede the full Golan Heights in negotiations, he may not be able to win public backing for what he promises. It also reveals a collapse of discipline within Barak’s coalition, points at the possibility of defections, and bodes ill for the array of key decisions ahead. In public comments, Barak charac-
terized the vote as a “parliamentary trick” and said it would not deter him from his goals. “I don’t take lightly what happened today in the parliament but we can’t read too much into it,” Barak said. “Some 1.8 million citizens have given me a mandate to bring a new future to the state of Israel and no parliamentary trick will stop the majority from deciding its stand. “The coalition did not elect me,” Barak said. ‘The people did. And what is connected to the coalition, believe me, I will deal with the coalition at the proper time.”
The coalition parties that chose to challenge Barak were Yisrael Baaliya, the Russian immigrant party, the National Religious Party, which represents the Jewish settlers; and Shas, the ultra-Orthodox Sephardic party that has been Barak’s most difficult political partner. They rallied behind a young Likud leader, Silvan Shalom, who sensed the possibility to thwart Barak and limit prospects for peace with Syria at the same time. Shalom, rather than Ariel Sharon, the aging Likud leader, succeeded in galvanizing the opposition by luring the Likud’s natural allies within the government back to conservative ideological ground. Shalom criticized Barak for neglecting domestic concerns and abandoning
his entire original agenda to concentrate on one goal: “leaving the Golan.” “What about all the things you promised, Mr. Prime Minister?” Shalom said, speaking in the Parliament. “What happened to the social issues? “Where are the students that were promised free tuition? What about the parents of three- and four-year-olds that were promised free education? What about the taxi drivers and the handicapped and all the rest? The only thing that concerns you is the Golan.” Any withdrawal from the Golan Heights will have to be approved by an absolute majority—6l members—of the parliament. Shalom said he believed an absolute majority of the people was needed, too. Since voterturnout is about 80 percent here, that would require the government to win 65 percent of those votes, by the estimates of experts. Many saw this as a thinly disguised attempt to nullify the propeace Israeli-Arab votes and insist on a “Jewish majority.” Yossi Beilin, the justice minister, said the bill was not only “anti-democratic and racist,” but “empowered the abstainers, those who left the country, those who don’t care whether there is peace or not.” Ahmed Tibi, an Israeli-Arab lawmaker, said the effort was as discriminatory as anything discussed by the right-wing Austrian party of Joerg Haider, which Israel has condemned.

D’Amore faced three charges for the Oct. 28 protest of campus recruiting by Kraft, a subsidiary of cigarettemanufacturer Philip Morris. She was charged with furnishing false information to university officials, misusing university property and obstructing the operation of university activities. She said a recruiter for Bostonbased INFACT, which is known for its
boycotts of Nestle and GE, asked her to schedule an appointment with the Kraft recruiters. INFACT is boycotting Kraft products because the company is owned by Philip Morris, which INFACT says markets cigarettes and other tobacco products to children. D’Amore thought she and the INFACT recruiter would talk with the Kraft representatives alone. But the INFACT recruiter brought several protesters, including one dressed as a box of macaroni and cheese decorated with cigarettes. So D’Amore—believing the more aggressive tactic would be ineffective—canceled her appointment and left, leaving the protesters behind. As recently as Tuesday, D’Amore said she intended to plead innocent to all the charges.

became available.” As the Merchants on Points program expands, there is one noticeable absence from it: Jimmy John’s is no longer available on food points. After an audit of the plan’s vendors, Dining Services determined that some restaurants were charging Duke students more than they did the rest of the Durham community. Wulforst decided to prohibit pricing differences, instead allowing a delivery surcharge of up to 15 percent. At the same time, the program will continue its 18 percent service charge to vendors— Jimmy John’s officials have long said the charge is too high to allow a profit. Most restaurants, however, have remained part of the University’s program in spite of the change. Gittner praised the new standardized system, noting that Satisfactions set the delivery surcharge just under the maximum of 15 percent.
“It’s great for us to have that little extra because it offsets the costs without decreasing any of our profit margin,” she said, adding that students should be allowed to use their food points to tip drh vers. Currently, they must use cash. Eckmeder said the loss of Jimmy John’s was not a critical blow to Merchants on Points, pointing to Subway and Bull City as other sandwich options. But students had mixed feelings about the loss of the popular Ninth Street deli. “It’s very disappointing. I didn’t mind the extra money because it was on points, and they were really fast,” Curcio said. Trinity junior Adam Silverstein disagreed. “I was glad they were kicked off,” he said. “I didn’t like the scam they were pulling.” He added that the addition of the two pizza restaurants provides sufficient selection and offers better pizza than what was previously available. I Love NY Pizza owner Ricky Scheiner said his business has more than doubled since joining the points program. “It’s almost a nightmare trying to put out that volume ofpizzas,” he said.

To overcome these hurdles, Prueher suggested that China focus on economic reform, starting a dialogue about human rights, implementing the rule of law and a establishing security relationship with the United

In return, he said, the United States should treat China “with strength and respect,” a notion he stressed often in his address. “Imposing our standards of human rights on other countries cannot be d0ne...,” he said. Instead, the ambassador explained, the United States should show that doing effective business does not need to be separated from considering human rights. “We must keep a workable relationship with China,” he said.

Lack of February media coverage wounds Bradley campaign DEMOCRATS from page 7 New York and on New England where he is seen as
having his best chance. The race had a far different complexion as little as three months ago. Bradley surged last fall and moved ahead of Gore in the polls in New Hampshire, the leadoff primary state. But the vice president won when the votes were cast, and the momentum has never swung back to his rival. Bradley’s task has been complicated by a five-week gap the party’s rules require between New Hampshire and the next delegate selection contests.
“It’s hard to make a souffle rise twice,” said Bill Carrick, a Democratic campaign consultant unaligned in the presidential race. “This hiatus between Jan. 29 and March 7, it’s just too long. It’s hard to sustain any interest,” he added, particularly given the support that Sen. John McCain has drawn from independents in his bid for the Republican nomination. Bradley, frustrated at the lack of news coverage, went so far recently as to place a call on his cell phone to reporters aboard Gore’s campaign bus. Democratic delegates are generally awarded on the
basis of popular vote in congressional districts, so a candidate can lose state after state and still win delegates. Thus, the former New Jersey senator could suffer a string of losses Tuesday and still emerge with a few hundred delegates. But he would then face the daunting task of competing in Gore’s native Tennessee and five other Southern states the following week, when an additional 566 delegates are at stake. Throughout the campaign, Gore has been helped by solid backing from national labor organizations and other traditional Democratic supporters such as abortion-rights groups.

Medicare payment reductions crunch Hospital’s budget live with it,” Israel said. “Today, with 26 to 27 percent of your patients are managed care, they’re very difficult to live with.” In addition, drug costs are increasing 20 percent annually, leading to more constraints. “The patients who come in here and the federal government who comes in here expect us to deliver the exact same service,” he said. “We are one of the few university teaching hospitals that continue to be in the black—but barely in the black—by a few million dollars.” The same financial pressures have ravaged several other academic medical centers, including the University of Pennsylvania Health System and has also changed the Hospital’s finanGeorgetown University Medical Center. cial state, and Israel said not enough According to The Chronicle of Higher money currently exists within the Education, Georgetown lost approxiHealth System to compensate health mately $l2O million over a two-year pecare providers adequately. riod while Penn has lost more than $3OO “Five years ago, if we had a lousy manmillion during that time. ‘They’re in draconian straits, I would aged care contract, when 5 percent of your patients are managed care, you can say, those other institutions, and Duke has CUTBACKS from page I in the organization have fewer options For transfer. All ofthe shifts will happen within the next 60 days, Israel said, The structural changes announced Wednesday will help the Hospital avoid several financial pitfalls that are plaguing other academic medical centers. As a result of the Balanced Budget A.ct of 1997, which led to significant reductions in Medicare reimbursements, the Hospital faces a budget crunch —approximately $l7O million less revenue than necessary over a five-year time period, Israel said.

although income from investments exceeded this deficit. Officials maintain that the problems plaguing Durham Regional Hospital have nothing to do with the Duke-based initiative announced yesterday. In October, Durham Regional officials discovered
that an auditing error made what looked to be like a $1.2 million surplus into a $5 million deficit. Durham Regional has hired a consulting firm and has been moving with trepidation ever since. In addition, Israel said Raleigh Community Hospital, also a part of the Health System, is experiencing significant growth in its overall size. Durham Regional’s consultant is also in place at
Raleigh Community to look at staffing and ensure that the hospital changes with the growth. Even after the cutbacks take effect at Duke, Hospital officials will continue to look for means to maximize efficiency—which will in turn help the entire Health System’s financial status. Besides the job eliminations, the Hospital is also trying to cut the amount of money its spends on supplies. “We will be looking at the entire operation and working very hard to dedicate the appropriate resources where resources are needed,” Israel said, noting that all of the hospital’s programs will be reviewed. Israel stressed that eliminating positions was not a painless decision. “This is really personal,” he said. “Two of the people that I walk past... every day are two of the affected people,” Israel said. Richard Rubin contributed to this story.
Campaign flier set on fire on Brown Dorm bulletin board � POLICE REPORTS from page 4 At 1:10 a.m. Feb. 27, a Campus Police officer observed a student at the bus stop lying face-up on the ground. Another student, who was holding a beer, picked up the first student and helped him to a bench. The second student then tried to carry the collapsed student to a bus, but the first student could not walk,
and fell back to the ground, Dean said. The officer reported that the first student was not responsive. Duke Rescue and Durham EMS arrived on the scene and transported him to the Emergency Department.
Flier fire: After responding to a fire alarm in Brown Dormitory, Campus Police found that someone had set fire to a students" campaign poster that had been put on a hall bulletin board, Dean said. Campus Police responded to the alarm at 12:27 a.m. Feb. 28, Dean said. By the time police arrived, a resident adviser had found the fire and had extinguished the flames by putting the poster in a sink of running water. Although the fire activated the alarm system and the dorm was evacuated, the campaign poster was the only thing damaged.
Purse plundered: An employee reported Feb. 29 that between 1 p.m. Feb. 25 and 9 a.m. Feb. 28, someone removed $95 from her purse, which she left in her office desk in the basement of the Duke Clinic’s Brown Zone. Keys stolen: A student reported Feb. 29 that she left her DukeCard and keys unattended on a table in the basement of Perkins Library between 5:20 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. When she returned, she said, someone had stolen the items, valued at $5O.

Trajan ends T or Heel reign _
Somewhere, Dean Smith is probably still wondering how you can leave open a guy who is 6-for-ll from three-point range. But you can bet Trajan Langdon
isn’t complaining. It had been nearly four years—an eternity and a half in this rivalry—since Duke last tasted victory against North Carolina, Langdon himself had been to the bottom of the well with a knee injury that wiped out his sophomore year, and the Alaska native was fiercely leading a Duke revival from the infamous 13-18 disaster of 1994-95. On this day, there had already been 12 lead changes and 10 ties. And that was enough for Langdon. With the Blue Devils clinging to a 72-70 lead, an open Langdon took a pass from Jeff Capel on the right wing, squared his body and fired a missile—his seventh of the night—that nearly blew the roof off of Cameron Indoor Stadium. “We just said enough is enough and we need to come out and get a win tonight,’’Langdon said. Langdon’s bucket capped a brilliant 28-point performance—including 20 in the second half—and ruined what would turn out to be Smith’s final trip to Cameron. “It’s one of those shots that people will talk about,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “It was all Trajan and the team, and his determination to take that shot.”

Coaches, players, analysts, they all say the same thing: when Duke and Carolina step on the court, throw out the records because you never know what’s going to happen. Perhaps that’s how it came to be that in February 1995 two teams on opposite ends of the basketball pyramid waged a two-and-a-halfhour, double-overtime war that left everyone—even the players—in a steam-filled Cameron Indoor Stadium craving more. When the second-ranked Tar Heels clashed with a Mike Krzyzewski-less Duke squad that had lost its coach to back surgery in January and was still searching for its first conference win after seven

Heavenly No. 1
Before he was universally known as Coach K, Mike Krzyzewski was nothing more than an unknown coach with a hard-to-pronounce last name. Athletic Director Tom Butters had taken a big gamble earlier in the spring, hiring a no-name who in 1980 led Army to a disappointing 9-17 record. Krzyzewski came to Butters’ attention via Bobby Knight, and while Krzyzewski had his doubters, Butters was never one of them. “We brought Mike in, talked with him, and sent him back home,” Butters said. “I just couldn’t get him out of my mind.” Now in his first year at Duke, Krzyzewski stood at 1613 (5-8 in the ACC) and there were a lot of questions about the new coach. But he would win some credibility, and some time, following a 66-65 thriller over a Tar Heel team that would finish the season as the national runner-ups. Before his last regular-season game, All-American senior Gene Banks dressed in a tuxedo and threw roses to the Cameron crowd. But Banks looked even better playing, and with one second left on the clock, he hit a 22-foot turnaround jumper to win the game and give his coach his first victory over the hated Tar Heels. “It was the closest I’ve ever felt to being next to God,” Banks said later. “And I don’t mean that to be
Onemiracle short straight ACC defeats, it truly was David versus Goliath. And although Goliath eventually emerged victorious, a 30-foot bomb from David’s slingshot showed that in this rivalry at least, even giants are mortal. Sophomore Jeff Capel’s desperation, buzzer-beating heave from halfcourt somehow found the bottom of the net and capped a furious comeback that forced UNC into a second extra period. Capel’s miracle shot came on the heels of a three-point play by freshman Trajan Langdon with five seconds left that narrowed the Tar Heel lead to 95-92.

dished it to Capel and joined the 9,314 rabid fans who celebrated wildly in disbelief as Duke erased an eight-point deficit in the final 25 seconds of overtime. Carolina would regroup after the emotional first overtime and escape with a 102-100 victory when Steve Wojciechowski’s failed attempt at another buzzer-beating, game-tying shot from eight feet out missed the mark. While the Heels left the game as victors, it was college basketball’s most storied rivalry that collected the biggest win of all. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” Dean Smith said afterwards. “That’s the best team we’ve played [this year] based on that game.”

He accidentally added 20 points to the Tar Heels’ score, but was not called for a technical foul. “Our students had class, and our team had class,” a furious Krzyzewski said after the game. ‘There was not a person on our bench who was pointing at officials or banging on scorer's tables....

Get out and vote Today’s Duke Student Government elections for executive offices will have implications far beyond the next academic year
In
such a crowded field of candidates, each vote in today’s Duke Student Government executive election becomes all the more important. DSG has experienced.a renaissance this year. Its current successes would not seem possible a few short years ago, when the organization was suffering with poor leadership. However, work still needs to be done, as executives clearly need to improve communication with students and legislators. The youth of this year’s field increases the election’s importance as DSG attempts to continue the strides it has made in recent years. Today, students are voting for more than ceremonial title holders. Like it or not, these student officers will have the ear of the administration. Whoever wins today will have to represent student opinion on key issues, like the alcohol policy, Curriculum 2000, parking, social space and financial aid. What next year’s DSG officers say will have implications for several generations of students to come. These leaders will need to be tapped into general student opinion, and lobby key administrators for student interests. Tomorrow’s winners will have the access and the power to lobby for substantial change. But with this power comes responsibility—students need to vote for the candidate they feel most comfortable having represent them in a fair and accurate manner. This is the first DSG presidential race without a preordained favorite running from the ranks of current DSG vice presidents. In some ways, this void can be looked at as a benefit —one presidential candidate will have the opportunity to inject a fresh perspective into DSG. These candidates possess “outside-the-box” mindsets and will invigorate the organization with their innovative ideas. At the same time, however, a fresh perspective does not necessarily translate into good leadership. Student’s must weigh the potential benefits of electing a fresh face versus the possibility of disaster and discord This year’s DSG executive elections will mold the orgainization’s philosophy and character for the next several years. With the vote split between as many as nine candidates, every single ballot makes a difference in selecting the strongest candidates from this broad field. The general student body must take this opportunity to shape DSG thoughtfully and seriously—otherwise, they will have no one to blame but themselves for DSG’s shortcomings. The Chronicle reiterates its endorsements ofTrinity junior Jim Lazarus for DSG president, Trinity sophomore Daryn Dodson for executive vice president, Trinity junior Rob Leonard for vice president for community interaction, Trinity junior Jason Bergsman for vice president ofacademic affairs and Trinity freshman Emily Grey for vice president for facilities and athletics.

we chose not to endorse a can-
didate for president of DSG. As a council, we did not support a single candidate strongly enough to recommend him or her to the student body. Regarding the other DSG executive positions, the IFC felt that the above candidates themselves distinguished from their respective competitors by demonstrating excel-
lent communication skills, solid records of leadership and sensible plans for their roles in DSG. The IFC encourages all students to participate in the DSG executive elections today from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. near the Marketplace, Alpine Bagels and in the basement of the Bryan Center near McDonald’s. Ken Collins Trinity ’99
The writer is president of the Interfraternity Council, and this letter represents the majority view of the IFC.
Bazinsky’s leadership skills will mesh with DSG No candidate for president is more qualified than Trinity junior Jordan Bazinsky to lead our school. Jordan’s energy and enthusiasm for public service is unquestionable. More impressively, he succeeds at what he attempts. When Jordan saw an opportunity to expand DukeDurham relations and create a great program to help Durham schoolchildren, he grabbed it and started Durham Directions, a chari-
ty that helps fund field trips for Durham elementary school children. Last year, when the preceptorials program (a collection of noncredit classes organized by Duke Student Government) needed a leader, Jordan stepped up—both by raising money for the program and recruiting professors to
teach classes. Based on his past experh ence, I have no doubt that Jordan, if elected, will succeed in his initiatives to
reinvigorate the Financial Aid Task Force, to improve parking on West Campus and to improve race relations at Duke. I strongly urge every undergraduate to take part in today’s elections and vote Jordan Bazinsky for DSG president. Ben Kennedy

The Diallo debacle Regardless of your feelings about race and society, the fact remains that an innocent man is dead Commentary William Raspberry WASHINGTON
Here we all are
(me, too) shouting at the jury that set
the killers of Amadou Diallo free, leveling accusations of incompetence against the prosecutor who tried them, wondering about the attitude of the judge who heard the case—even reading a species of conspiracy into the decision to move the trial to Albany. I mean, you know about upstate New York. And yet I’m trying to sort out in my own mind just what about this case makes me so mad—or scared. Two conclusions stand out. First, that Diallo shouldn’t have died—that whatever suspicions those four cops had about him, whatever ill-advised move he may have made, none of it justifies his death from a hail of bullets. I don’t know anyone who disputes that. The second conclusion: Diallo wouldn’t have been killed had he not been black—or possibly Hispanic. That’s a more controversial statement, of course, but I believe it. Still, it doesn’t take me where I need to go. The reason I believe a white man would have survived the police officers’ mistaken identification and their misinterpretation of his actions is that a black wallet in the hands of an otherwise nonaggressive white man would not have looked, even for an instant, like a handgun. Maybe many of those who are protesting the verdict of acquittal believe that too. What else can they
believe? Nothing in the history ofthese four officers—all relatively inexperienced—and nothing in the facts of the case as we know them suggests that the cops harbored any murderous intent or predisposition. Nothing we’ve heard offers any reason to suppose that these officers emptied their guns into the unarmed Diallo because they saw an opportunity to kill a black man and get away with it. I seriously consider their expressions of remorse in that
Albany courtroom. But if I believe the officers thought Diallo was armed and preparing to fire on them—even if they were tragically mistaken about that—how can I be upset that they got away with killing him? The answer is in the twisted skein of experience, predisposition, stereotypical belief that ensnarls our thinking about race. In other words, it isn’t simply that the officers “saw” a gun in Diallo’s hand; it is also why they “saw” that gun. Richard Pryor fans will remember his enactment of a black man being stopped by a white traffic cop. They will recall his stylized gesture, thumb and index finger circled as he slowly moves his hand toward his pocket. “I am,” he announces with elaborate articulation, “reaching for my license.” The thing that made that joke funny 20 years ago is the same thing that ended Diallo’s life a year ago: not merely doing nothing wrong but also doing nothing that would lead a white cop conditioned by his own (and America’s) racial presumptions to suspect anything wrong. Even black plainclothes cops have been killed by their white fellow officers because of the predisposition to look into a black face and see “criminal.”
It is time Above the Norm Norm Bradley Believe it or not, some ofThe Chronicle’s columnists come to me when they can’t think of a topic for their biweekly efforts. My response does not vary from columnist to columnist: sit down and think of what has stirred emotions in you in the last two weeks. Has something—either here at Duke or in the world beyond—angered you? Is there any news out there that made you reflect on the way they perceive the world?
Anything at all? At this point, most columnists think for a few minutes and come up with the kernel of insight that will eventually grow to 18-20 inches of text that fills this section ofthe editorial pages. Unfortunately, my advice does not work for me. Simply put, nothing has stirred an emotion in me over the last few weeks that is appropriate to write in this space. Sure, I can write about the foibles and struggles of my life, but nobody wants to read about one person’s problems unless they expand their argument to make a greater point. As I skim through newspapers and online news sites, some items cause me to pause, but none really gets my proverbial motor running. Simply put, Fm in my own little world, and Fm starting to think I can’t relate to things anymore outside my limited sphere of knowledge. Life is about deadlines. When does my column have to be finished? When is my next test, and what do I need to study between now and '

The Diallo case is different from those racial profiling cases to which it is often linked. The “driving-whileblack” cases proceed not from a specific suspicion of any particular driver, but from a general presumption that (for example) drugs are being transported along the interstates and that young black men are the predominant couriers. The racial profiler simply undertakes to go fishing where he believes the fish to be—creating his justification, if one is needed, only after the fact. The suspicions about Diallo were terribly specific, though terribly wrong. Perhaps the most troubling thing about the Diallo case is the number of bullets fired. Indeed, we might not even know about the case had he been brought down by two shots. But we know the numbers: Forty-one shots were fired, 19 of them finding their tar-

then? How many other tasks need to be checked off of a list before I hit the sack this evening? I take solace in the fact that I am not alone among my peers. Everybody at Duke is so wrapped up in the pressures ofcollege life that it is difficult to realize there have been disturbing shootings in Michigan and Pittsburgh in the last two days. Other more immediate and pressing concerns bubble to the top of our conscious minds. The volume of business at late-night coffeehouses such as the Atrium or the Perk are testament to the work ethic of the “average” Duke student. Most students take their academic, extracurricular and social commitments very seriously, leaving little time for reflection regarding bigger-picture problems. Duke students are like harness racing horses—exceptionally driven, but running with blinders obscuring 90 percent of what is going on.
get. That does sound murderous—or at the very least, drastic overkill. Question: If your partner yelled “He’s got a gun!” and fired, would you wait till you saw a gun before you also fired? And would you fire just once? The numbers reveal something else: Even at fairly close range, more than half of the shots missed. For those who insist the officers might have shot the “gun” out of Diallo’s hand, the 22 misses are a reminder that the average police officer is not that good a shot. But scratching through all this debris, the fact remains that Diallo is dead, and he shouldn’t be. Millions of us believe he wouldn’t be, but for his color.
What do we do? The obvious solution is to promote dialogue. Fm sure some of you are very confused as to what promoting dialogue actually means. Does a greater buzzword exist on this campus? I mean, if we listen to all of our campus leaders, promoting dialogue is as easy as fostering community and a little bit harder than opening lines of communication. But the dialogue I want to promote has nothing to do with fishbowls or forums. I just want us to look outside the fishbowl that is our daily struggle to succeed and engage the greater world around us. Talk to the guy who sits next to you on the East-West-Trent via Central bus. Strike up a conversation with the employee who rings up your meal or cleans your section. Take advantage of the tremendous academic opportunities of a top-10 University and talk to your professor after class about something that has no chance of appearing on a test. What’s really at stake here? At worst, we’ve just
wasted a few precious seconds of your time. At best, we may have made someone’s day—and maybe even our own. Granted, some of my readers may not be strong proponents of charity, so let me rephraze: if we talk to someone and give them the opportunity to rant and rave about their problems, we might learn something that helps us put our concerns and problems into perspective. And why should we care what is bugging others? To quote the popular cliche, “A stitch, in time, saves nine.” A little preventative maintenance goes a long way. Imagine a problem as a pail of water under a dripping faucet. A few drips per hour doesn’t add up to a lot of volume. However, if left to go unchecked for several weeks, the pressure inside the pail builds up to the point where the slightest perturbation sends water spilling everywhere. Some of life’s problems have simple solutions—it doesn’t take a lot of effort to fix a leaky faucet. Other problems are infinitely more complex. However, if we can nip many potential sources of angst in the bud by engaging others in discussion. But in many ways, this is the easy part. Once you get Duke students talking, they are smart enough to identify and address problems. The difficulty is opening people’s eyes to the world beyond semiformals, due dates and job applications. Believe it or not, there are 6,400 other undergraduates out there, plus a plethora of professors, graduate students and employees. Just because we have difficulty relating to an issue doesn’t mean it’s not an issue—it probably means we are ignorant of the situation. So let’s go outside and engage our peers—but we better be careful: We might leam something. Norm Bradley is a Pratt junior and editorial page editor of The Chronicle.

I write this letter as a
strong endorsement of Trinity junior Carliss Chatman for the office of of Duke president Student Government. DSG and the Duke community can only benefit from having such a passionate, sincere and hardworking leader as Carliss.

Carliss even worked with me into the wee hours of the night as a deadline loomed over us. I cannot imagine what

dent that she understands the key issues that the Duke community faces, and that she has methods that clear address those issues in an attempt to resolve them. I have spoken to her about the issue of the overabundance of student organizations on campus
and the subsequent poor allocation of funds. She has a solution for this issue: Carliss envisions criteria by which DSG would hold each organization accountable. If an organization failed to

meet these criteria, it would lose its privileges, thereby allowing other and/or new organizations that are serious about a cause to bud and flourish. In addition, the lack of student interaction on Central Campus is troubling to her. Carliss related to me that it is curious that East Campus has received such widespread attention in relation to President Nan Keohane’s vision of the residential college system, and yet Central Campus—which is just as important to student life—has received little to none. Carliss is a confident woman worthy of endorsement. I hereby endorse Carliss Chatman.

I am writing to endorse Pratt junior Jim Lazarus for Duke Student Government president. I have known Jim from our work together on Campus Social Board, and I have discovered over and
over again that Jim possesses an overwhelming
dedication to the issues he
is passionate about. When Jim works on a project, he does so with tireless resolve, working until the job is done.
In a field with many worthy candidates, I believe Jim’s experience and drive make him the best choice for president.

Despite DSG’s reputation as ineffective and The unproductive, Chronicle cites Trinity
junior Jason Bergsman’s “ambitious goals” as the
reason to vote for him. What good are ambitious goals in a place where goals are not real-

accomplished. During his tenure as vice president for academic affairs, Drew Ensign has accomplished something.

He is an experienced DSG vice president who is highly respected within DSG and could have run for president, but is running for vice presi-

Law Journal will host 30th
annual conference Friday � NEWS BRIEFS from page 3 offer other tips in a tent exhibit near the
Davison Building. Several student groups will also see the Free Electron Laser Lab and the Primate Center, and others will hear various speeches about the University’s history. “There’s more to Duke than the chapel and Cameron,” said Todd Guentensberger, a science teacher at Carrington Middle School. “Some of our students haven’t even seen them. The opportunity to be exposed to what goes on in the classroom sounds really exciting.”
Experts will discuss Internet: Two panels March 3 will bring together experts on Internet governance as part of the Duke Law Journal’s 30th Annual Administrative Law Conference. The morning session, from 10 a.m. to noon in room 3043 of the Law School, will focus on the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. ICANN is a government-appointed organization developed to oversee accreditation of companies that want to distribute domain names. The morning’s panelists include Professor Michael Froomkin from the University of Miami and Professor Jonathan Weinberg from Wayne State University, and they will be moderated by Professor James Boyle from American University.
From 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in room 3041 of the Law School, a roundtable conversation will address Internet gover-
nance in general. Both panels are free and open to the public.
Authors will read works: Two authors will give public readings of their works at the Center for Documentary Studies this month and participate in Durham classroom residencies as part of the center’s Literacy Through Photography project. Poet Luis Rodriguez will read at 7 p.m. March 10. He won the Carl Sandburg Literary Arts Award for Nonfiction for Always Running, his memoir on inner-city gang experiences. Randall Kenan, a short-story writer and North Carolina native, will read at 7 p.m. March 15. Kenan is the author of the acclaimed book of short stories Let the Dead Bury Their Dead. In their residencies with Literacy Through Photography, Kenan will work with three seventh-grade classes at the Durham School of the Arts and Rodriguez will work with three classes at Neal Middle School in Durham. The readings are free and open to the public. Dean Sue dines; Duke Student Government’s first semester “Breakfast with Dean Sue” program has been reincarnated as “Lunch with Dean Sue.” The meetings will restart March 6 in the Great Hall from 1 to 2 p.m. and the discussion will focus on the dynamics of student and faculty interaction. The second discussion will likely take place April 6.

As I told you in my first interview, I spent a year working 10-12 hours a week as an advertising intern at The Chronicle. I worked closely with campus groups and local businesses to help them design effective advertising campaigns and developed great customer service skills. I also gained valuable knowledge about advertising, marketing, and sales. By maintaining a high level of professionalism and organization, I consistently met or exceeded my sales goals. I truly enjoyed working in a team with my co-workers to help market the paper as a whole.

For the men’s lacrosse team, the season is finally here. While last weekend’s sweep of
Butler and Ohio State marked the official start of the 2000, lacrosse season, Saturday’s afternoon face-off with visiting Maryland is the date that the fifth-ranked Blue Devils (2-0) have had circled since the beginning of the year. Not only does Saturday’s 1 p.m. match against the eighth-ranked Terrapins (1-0) at Koskinen Stadium kick off the ACC schedule for two of the conference’s powerhouses, it marks the annual revival of one of the greatest rivalries in college lacrosse.

Blue Devils avoid slow spring start, finish 6th in San Juan The ACC reigned supreme in the Puerto Rico Classic as the conference boasted six of the top eight finishers By ANDREW GREENFIELD The Chronicle
After a strong fall season, the 17th-ranked men’s golf team looked to continue its solid play in San Juan at the Puerto Rico Classic The Blue Devils did just that, finishing in sixth place with a score of 867, three-over par. The 15-team field was dominated by the ACC, with six teams finishing in the top eight. Third-ranked Georgia Tech won the event with a score of 853, nineunder par. The tournament was held at the 6,945-yard, par-72 Rio Mar Country Club., “I am very happy with our finish,” coach Rod Myers said. “This is by far the best we have played in Puerto Rico, and it is a good start for us. We beat a lot of teams in our district and didn’t finish far behind the top-ranked teams like Clemson and
Georgia Tech.” Over the past few years, Duke has been known to get off to a slow start in the spring season and with snow postponing valuable practice time, it seemed that this year would be no different. Unlike past years, however, Duke now has five solid players, all of whom are capable of shooting low scores and carrying the team on any given week. This tournament belonged to freshmen Leif Olson, who posted a career-best finish, placing eighth with a score of 214, two-under par. “The brightest spot of the tournament was the play ofLeif Olson,” said Myers. “If he continues to play this way, he will really help our team compete with the top teams in the country.” Sophomore Matt Krauss struggled slightly on the first day, posting a round of 74, but he rebounded to
“This is by far the best we’ve played in Puerto Rico, and it is a good start for us.” Coach Rod Myers shoot rounds of 72 and 70 which put him in a tie for 15th place at 216, even par. Juniors Kevin Streelman and Paul Tucker both played three days of solid golf and finished in a tie for 24th place at 219, three-over par. The Blue Devils next event is the Matlock Invitational, held in Lakeland, Fla. on Mar. 6-7.

emotional—another typical ACC lacrosse game.” Last year’s battle in College Park turned out to be one ofthe classic contests ofthe season. Both teams entered the game in the nation’s top 10, but the Terrapins quickly pounced on Duke with nine first-half goals to claim a commanding four-goal lead. But in the game’s second half, the Blue Devils regrouped for one of the season’s most spectacular and emotional rallies. Goalie Matt Breslin suffocated the Maryland attack and Jared Frood banged home the game-winning goal to cap a 6-1 second-half comeback which gave Duke an 11-10 victory and the inside track to the ACC regularseason championship. “We had great poise at halftime and it was one of our best halftimes ever since I’ve been here,” Pressler said. “To come from behind and win in Byrd Stadium like that was one of the greatest wins in the history of our program.”
If the Blue Devils are going to repeat last year’s heroics against the Terps, they know they’ll have to do a better job of protecting Breslin from the offensive attack than they did last weekend, After an All-American campaign last year, Breslin has been torched for 17 goals in two games, including 10 against Butler last Sunday. Despite the struggle of his goalie, Pressler said much of the blame lies with careless errors made by the rest of the team. Saturday, Duke knows that the vie tor will be in prime position to contend for the conference title and it will apply especially tight defensive pressure to protect Breslin. Even with the significance of this game, however, Pressler has stressed that it’s still only one game.
“The winner has a leg up in the conference, but the loser is by no means out of it,” Pressler said. ‘The loser of this game has gone onto the Final Four, while sometimes the winner hasn’t made the NCAA tournament.”

tying a school record with six goals. Syracuse was a quality opponent, but Maryland is the best team Duke will face all year. “This is a marquee matchup for the first time in five years,” coach Kerstin Kimel said. “I think that for us, it is very exciting. But our focus is on us and not that it’s a marquee matchup.” While the Blue Devils are relative newcomers to the national elite, the Terrapins have long been a fixture at the top of the lacrosse world. Maryland earned the title “Team ofthe 90s” by winning five consecutive national titles. The Terps capped off the decade with a perfect 21-0 season and a 16-6 victory over Virginia for the NCAA championship. Success in the near future seems a foregone conclusion since Maryland returns every member from last year, including national player of the year Jen Adams. Adams led the NCAA in scoring last season, tallying 71 goals and 46 assists. Fellow attacker Allison Comito, who scored 106 points last season, gives the Terps another offensive weapon that the Duke defense will have to focus on.
“They have a very prolific offense,” Kimel said. “We have to play good individual defense within the confines of good overall team defense. [Maryland’s offense] is not complicated. They have a very simple attack, but they take advantages of your weaknesses. They find little openings in your defense and they exploit them.” As highly rated as Maryland’s offense is, its defense has been largely overlooked. In the Terrapins’ 1999 championship campaign, they allowed an average of only 6.74 goals per game. Senior tri-captain Alex Kahoe returns as netminder after starting every contest since she arrived in College Park four years ago. All told, Maryland returns six All-Americans from last year’s squad. Although their task is daunting, the Blue Devils feel prepared. “We’re ready to play,” Kimel said. “For us, the biggest thing is to play Duke lacrosse, and that means being prepared to play from the start, the first whistle. We need to try to control the 50-50 balls, and defensively we need to slow the ball down. “Winning is, not the top priority. If we play our game, the winning will come.”
