parents asks for alcohol dialogue

:

As a campus task force readies for a iajor discussion of alcohol, Vice President or Student Affairs Janet Dickerson requests idvice and support from parents.

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

While many students spent their spring breaks lounging at the beach by day and partying at local bars

by night, parents also encountered alcohol—but from a less light-hearted perspective.

The combination of an administrator’s letter to parents and a highly publicized study from Harvard University’s School ofPublic Health meant that moms and lads around the country got a taste ofthe drinking dialogue dominating campus life.

In a two-page March 9 letter, Vice President for

Along with sending the letter to parents, Dickerson has formed a task force to examine drinking on campus; its first full meeting is Wednesday.

“What can you do?” she wrote in the letter to parents. “Please discuss these issues with your Duke student during- spring break. You can be a crucial participant in our effort. You know your child better than my of us. As a parent, you are in a unique position to See

Duke run drops Toppers A 21-6 second-half spurt landed the Blue Devils in the Sweet 16

looked like the Western Kentucky Cinderella story would add another chapter.

But somewhere between the evil stepmother and the glass slipper, the Lady Toppers just plain ran out of gas.

The second-seeded Blue Devils (28-5) reeled off a 21-6 run midway through the second half to break open a 40-40 tie and give themselves enough breathing room to cruise to a 90-70 win against a visibly fatigued Western Kentucky (22-10).

The win earned Duke a trip to Richmond next Saturday for a East Regional semifinal matchup against Louisiana State.

“I felt like if we could just hang in there and keep pushing the ball, and keep making them work

Although Duke took a sixpoint lead into the locker room, the Lady Toppers roared out of the gates in the second half, scoring eight of the first 10 points of the second half to pull even with Duke at 40 on a Jamie Britt layup.

But an unflustered Duke squad would answer quickly.

After the two teams traded free throws, Missy West and Georgia Schweitzer hit back-to-back three-pointers to stretch Duke’s lead to nine.

A Western Kentucky timeout did little to slow down the Blue Devils. Michele Matyasovsky fed

basket to give Duke its first double-digit lead of the game at 5443. And Schweitzer put the exclamation point on the run at the 10-minute mark when she picked Powers’ pocket at midcourt and converted the breakaway layup with Powers and Shaßae Mansfield colliding and collapsing in her wake.

illion-dollar donation endows need-based scholarships

By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

A $1 million gift from investment manager Robert Torray, Trinity ’59, and his wife Nancy, will provide scholarships for the University’s most financially underprivileged students, President Nan Keohane announced Monday. Duke has already awarded the scholarships to two members of the Class of 2003.

This gift will make a tremendous difference to students from families too could not consider Duke without significant amounts of financial aid,” K-eohane wrote in an e-mail. “This particular gift sends a very important sigdal: it means that a dedicated and suc-essful alumnus has joined us in making it a high priority to recruit and support students from low-income famle s... and helps publicize the Universi-

ty’s own commitment to this purpose.”

The Torray Scholarship is earmarked for families who can contribute little or no money toward their children’s college education —10 percent of the class of 2003 fits this profile. Although the bene-

ficiaries will know about the scholarship, their financial aid packages will not differ from other students in this category.

“It’s certainly one of the top priorities of The [Campaign for Dukel, if not the top,” said Peter Vaughn, director of communications and donor relations for University Development. “It’s terribly important, and the endowment is terri-

bly important. The Torray [Scholarship] will be there forever. It’s numerical importance is $1 million, but its real importance is considerably higher, as an example to others and to help us direct our efforts on endowed scholarships.”

Renowned track meet comes

About 80 percent of the University’s financial aid funds, or about $3O million, currently come from its operating budget. Torray’s gift will help release these funds for other operational costs.

“It is absolutely critical at two levels,” said Jim Belvin, director of undergraduate financial aid. “One is that, as many people know, that financial aid at Duke doesn’t have the resources available at institutions with which we often compete. The second is that a very large part of the University’s resources come from the University’s central budget and to the extent we can reduce this office’s dependence on that budget, both the students and the University will benefit.”

But in addition to relieving pressure on the operating budget, the gift should also free up funds for better aid awards.

Man steals laptop, Scholar explores creationism debate threatens students � A Central Campus resident and a visitor were sitting in a Pace Street apartment

when the intruder entered a bedroom through an open sliding door.

By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

A man entered a two-bedroom Central Campus

apartment, verbally threatened two students and stole more than $2,000 worth of property Sunday evening, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. As a result, one ofthe victims has decided to move out.

A witness could only give a limited description ofthe man, and Campus Police have no suspects in the crime.

Dean described the incident as follows At around 8:45 p.m., one of the apartment’s residents and her guest were sitting in the living room of the first-floor apartment at 1708 Pace St. when they heard blinds moving at the patio door.

The sliding glass door, which connects to one of the bedrooms, was open, and the screen door was shut but not locked. The occupants said they were trying to air out the room.

Dean said the guest walked toward the bedroom area, which was about 15 feet away, and asked, “Who is there?” A male voice responded, “Don’t move; I’ll kill you.”

Creationism

By JOHN BUSH The Chronicle vs. evolution is more than just the

Bible vs. science.

Ronald Numbers, a professor of the history of science and medicine at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, traced the complex political development of the debate’s two sides in a Monday evening speech at the Divinity School.

From the 1920s to the present day, he explained, proponents of evolution have incorporated more recent scientific discoveries into the field.

At the same time, anti-evolutionists have also altered their views to establish a science of their own: creationism.

With the development of the two sciences, both sides have questioned the educational credibility of the other—many times through the court system.

But Numbers questioned whether the courts should determine the scientific validity of either field.

“It’s worthless to argue that creationism is unconstitutional because it’s not unconstitutional to teach bad science,” he said, referring to a court decision that deemed creationism a religion, not a science.

He pointed to the Kansas Board ofEducation’s decision to eliminate evolution from the required curriculum—as well as similar decisions in other states—as the most recent political actions in the debate.

“But what would we expect in a nation where public opinions show that that 47 percent of Americans believe the first human beings appeared no more than 10,000 years ago, as in the Bible?” he asked.

Although he was most critical of creationism in his speech, Numbers explicitly noted that academics in his field should not try to predict the debate’s outcome.

“Historians should never get into the position of deciding who will win,” he said.

Along with outlining the progression of the movements, Numbers also attempted to clarify some false perceptions. He spent a significant amount of time discussing the famed 1925 Scopes monkey trial in Tennessee.

He pointed out that although many people think the trial helped the case for evolution when William Jennings Bryan conceded that he did not interpret the Bible literally, the case and Scopes’ conviction actually helped Bryan’s fundamentalist side.

Although early creationists were primarily Protestant, like Bryan and his supporters, Numbers noted that the establishment of creationism

RONALD NUMBERS of the University of Wisconsin traced the history of the conflict between evolutionists and creationists. as a science has provided an umbrella under which all anti-evolutionists could find common

ground. Now, he said, Christians, Jews and Muslims use creation science as an argument against evolution—an argument that has recently gained momentum.

“From California to Florida, there has been a fair amount of activity [in the 19905],” he said, noting that proponents of creation science can be found in both urban and rural areas.

Because the battle of creationism against evolution does not seem to be dying down, Numbers stressed there is no clear front-running idea in a debate that has been raging in America for at least 80 years.

For now, however, one matter is certain, he said: “Creationism may not be gaining ground in classrooms, but it is very clear that evolution is losing ground.”

Summer 2000 will bring 2 top Duke professor petitions track meets to Duke, Durham high court on redistricting � Robinson Everett continues to argue that the state’s con-

gressional districts are drawn with improper attention to race.

From wire reports

The plaintiff in North Carolina’s congressional redistricting lawsuit asked the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to order the state to file a speedy appeal so the court can rule before its summer recess starts in late June.

Robinson Everett, the Duke law professor who filed the lawsuit over the 12th Congressional District, said the state should have to file its formal appeal by April 10 to ensure a quick decision on whether the court will hear it at all.

If the court won’t, the state will not be able to use the disputed redistricting plan during this year’s *

Officials announced yesterday that Durham and Duke will host jtet another prestigious track event this summer. In addition to holding the NCAA track finals at the end of May, Wallace Wade Stadium will play home to the East Coast Invitational Track Meet.

“We are honored to be the host city,” Mayor Nick Tennyson said at a City

Hall press conference. “We’re going to be the center of the track universe in the next few months.”

According to a press release, from July 21 to 23, the ECI will draw more than 3,000 track and field athletes from across the country, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean Islands.

elections.

As things now stand, state officials expect the appeal to appear on the court’s fall calendar and to use the disputed 1997 redistricting plan for the May 2 congressional primary and the November general election.

“It seems especially important that the court decide as rapidly as possible whether the General Assembly has imposed upon the voters- of North

Carolina another unconstitutional racially gerrymandered redistricting plan, the use of which would violate the 14th Amendment,” Everett’s petition said.

Pending the state’s appeal, the Supreme Court last week blocked a three-judge panel’s ruling March 7 throwing out the plan.

The three federal judges, named by the 4th ,U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, had declared the plan’s 12th District to be gerrymandered to favor blacks.

The district snakes for 100 miles between Charlotte and Greensboro. It was the second time the panel had rejected the plan and the latest step in the years-long battle over the state’s districts.

Everett said in his petition Monday that a ruling is needed sooner rather than later.

He said if the court doesn’t wish to expedite the appeal process, it could simply issue a summary judgment affirming the three-judge panel’s ruling.

“In order to prevent the irreparable injury to North Carolina’s voters that would result from conducting

still another congressional election under an unconstitutional plan,” he wrote, “... the need is especially great to determine during this term whether full briefing and oral argument will be necessary.”

Parents weigh in on alcohol issue Track meet will draw thousands �ALCOHOL from page 1

communicate with your Duke student on this important topic.”

Many parents said they were disturbed by the information Dickerson presented, but not all agreed on how to address the issues.

“I can’t believe this is going on...said parent Jim Hoin, Trinity ’B4, of Saratoga, N.Y. “It sounded like they were sending kids to time-out. The best thing to do is go by the law. If they’re caught drinking, give them one more chance. One, it’s the law; two, kids are dying.... There are rules and regulations we need to abide by and there’s a very good reason.”

But Marshall Field, a parent from Chicago, said he did not think draconian policies would be effective; instead, he favored a cultural change that still allows drinking on campus.

“I think that’s more the way a major college should work instead of being dictatorial,” he said. “That’s why they call it a collegial way. It probably takes twice as long, but you come out with more buy-in and a university doesn’t have a jillion disgruntled people.”

As Duke parents opened letters from the University about drinking in the Gothic Wohderland, a well-known Harvard researcher released a study indicating that binge drinking is on the rise at colleges everywhere.

Henry Wechsler, director of College Alcohol Studies at Harvard’s School of Public Health, surveyed more than 14,000 students at 119 four-year colleges.

As compared to his 1993 survey, there was a 14 percent rise in frequent binge drinkers; however, the jump was accompanied by a 19 percent rise in nondrinkers.

“The abstinence is probably related to the extreme drinking and the desire of students to get away from the drinking scene completely,” said Wechsler. “As to heavy drinking, maybe if the lowerdrinking students leave the party setting, then what’s left is binge drinkers, so there’s no modifying influence ”The study defines “binge drinking” as five

or more drinks in a row for a man—four or more for a woman —at least once in the two weeks before answering survey questions.

Pat Thomas, a parent from Colorado Springs, Colo., said the information Wechsler released was not new to her.

“I was not surprised at all,” she said. “If this is hap-

pening at Duke and the Ivy Leagues, it’s not surprising to me [that it’s happening everywhere].”

Although several parents had not heard about Wechsler’s study, they realized that heavy drinking was not an issue exclusive to Duke.

“It’s always been a problem, but it seems right now that kids have no little stop signs in their heads that say ‘OK, stop...,”’ said one parent, who wished to remain anonymous.

“I’m not sure if it’s a University problem so much as where students are coming from. We’re sending them out of [our homes] without guidelines about

what is right and what isn’t.”

Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek said that since Friday, she has received at least eight e-mail responses specifically to Dickerson’s letter, but that they indicated no identifiable trend in parental thought.

While some suggested the University employ strict policies to discourage alcohol use, others said the University should create a safe drinking culture on campus.

“I would say that at least to a certain extent, parents’ comments and concerns have mirrored what students have said,” Wasiolek added.

Regardless of how they thought the University should handle dangerous drinking, many parents agreed that they find the trend of drinking too much too fast—at Duke or elsewhere—frightening.

“The diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia—you see in the elderly population [who have] feeding tubes or 50to 60-year-old men with cirrhosis of the liver and you see it in Duke students,” said Hoin, who is a doctor with the military. ‘That’s horrible.”

country that draws as many spectators...,” said Leroy Walker, former president of the United States Olympic Committee and honorary co-director of the ECI. “This meet has international significance.”

Officials also praised the support of the event’s host, the Durham Striders Track Club—an organization dedicated to improving the lives of young people through training and competition in track and field. Dr. Brenda Armstrong, director of admissions at the School of Medicine and a volunteer with the Striders, lauded the club’s mission. “What we do with lyoung participants’] minds and self-esteem goes beyond any achievement they make physically,” she said.

The meet will merge the East Coast Invitational with the Striders’ annual invitational track meet—named in honor of long-time local track coach Russell Blunt.

Duke track coach A1 Buehler, the ECFs other honorary co-director, said he was pleased that the two meets merged. “This is a great combination,” he said. “My part ofthis whole thing is to sit back and enjoy [the high-quality track performance].”

“You tend to [understate] Duke’s role in giving up that lovely... field,” said Johnny Ford, director of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. He added that although the ECI has received a lot of support, it is still seeking additional sponsors.

Blunt, a member ofthe North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame who is in his 90s, was also at Monday’s press conference. “I’m very fortunate to be here in Durham...,” said the winning track and football coach from Hillside High School. “Thank you for using my name to have this meet.”

The lights are out...

The athletic department uses incorrect figures to demonstrate the lack of need for extended Wilßec hours. Closing early does not mesh with the University’s emphasis on providing non-alcoholic social options for students

Late

at night, after most administrators and professors are tucked safely into bed, Duke’s student culture thrives. Postmidnight activity flourishes across campus, with undergraduates gathering in accessible common spaces.

Students drink coffee at the Perk, hang out at the Armadillo Grill, wander around the Bryan Center and study in the library.

And, for a brief window last semester, students worked out and played basketball in the Wilson Recreation Center.

But thanks to a bizarre decision by the athletic department, monitors will shoo students out of the Wilßec at midnight and swing the doors shut, closing a valuable outlet for student activity.

Administrators cite statistics that they argue prove there is not sufficient student demand for late-night hours, but their numbers completely misrepresent the situation. The real question is not how many people come into the gym between 12 and 2 a.m., but how many people are in there during this timeframe.

As the statistics proved, very few people came into the gym after midnight. But these findings are not surprising; who would come into a gym just before closing when there’s not enough time for a full workout? The useful, and still unoffered, statistic, is how many people are in the gym playing basketball or working out long past Letterman and Leno.

Administrators also cited the cost of having monitors as a barrier to keeping the gym open later. If spending $4OO a week for the 30 weeks school is in session is really that much of a difficulty, the University should consider having the facility function on card access late at night.

In the midst of wide-ranging University discussions about shifting the campus culture away from alcohol-centered social options, this decision to shorten the Wilßec’s hours seems curious and contradictory. On weeknights as well as weekends, students should have as many non-alcoholic choices as possible.

Impressively, the administration has recognized this need over the last several years, and departments from the libraries to Dining Services to Student Affairs have acted to improve latenight student life.

Yet, inexplicably, the athletic department seems to be running counter to the rest of the University, closing off students’ options and underusing a fantastic new asset that was designed predominantly for undergraduates. If athletic administrators continue to fail students, the University must take a long look at transferring control of the building to a department that understands and sympathizes with students’ needs.

In the latest round of the Bill

Clinton/Al

Gore tag-team effort against responsible American gun owners, the powers that be made a teary-eyed plea for mandatory gunlocks. Their latest motivational example involved the shooting death of 6year-old Kayla Holland by a classmate in Michigan. When the National Rifle Association, however, had the courage to point out that this was just another example of the Clinton administration using real-life tragedies as political fuel, its objections were dismissed as “sick and outrageous.”

If one listened to Gore and to the president—the latter is now a full-

But shouldn’t we try to prevent these few, needless deaths that do occur by requiring trigger locks?

Safety locks seem like a quick and easy fix, and support for them is becoming increasingly popular among politicians. But, as usual, the solution is not so simple. Responsible gun owners already use these locks—it’s not as if they’re hard to find, as 80 percent of guns sold have them included by the manufacturer. The people who need such locks are the irresponsible gun owners, such as the crack dealer who owned the gun that the six-year-old used in Michigan.

Unfortunately, these are the same people who will never use them. Once again, some supposedly well-meaning legislation would end up hurting only law-abiding citizens.

As longas gun lam are poorly—or not at all—enforced, criminals will always get their guns.

guns are supposedly reaching epidemic proportions This notion in fact pervaded the Michigan school shooting news coverage, which was nothing short of sensationalist. Because cases of innocent children dying are so tragic, they make for big news stories. But the heavy press coverage implies that these

deaths happen all the time—they don’t.

In fact, a reputable study by the National Center for Health Statistics and the National Safety Council shows that during the years 1993 through 1996, guns were involved in less than 4 percent of all accidental deaths among children under 15. Since then, the per-

nation’s reaction reveals a bigger problem.

meaningful, long-term solutions. Instead, they want a quick, dramatic display of resolve and sensitivity.

The more difficult, but correct, reaction is to unemotionally examine the situation. Instead of simply piling more legislation on top of the already suffocating gun laws in America, the president and his administration should strictly enforce existing laws. When Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 15 people at Columbine High School, they broke more than 30 laws to get their weapons. If there were more emphasis on catching people for breaking such laws and less on making useless new ones, catastrophes like this may be avoided. But this wouldn’t sat-

isfy the instant-gratification nature of public opinion, so it isn’t pursued.

It is also interesting to note that Americans rarely hear about how guns save lives. Noted criminologist Gary

between

2.5 million times per year, saving

between 240,000 and 400,000 lives.

It isn’t dramatic like a school shooting, because often the gun is simply shown and the criminal flees.

Therefore, it does not get saturation coverage in the newspapers and Americans don’t hear about it. But such uses actually save lives—yes, those of children, too —and they hap-

pen every day.

As long as gun laws are poorly—or not at all—enforced, criminals will always get their guns. No amount of legislation can change that; it can only disarm responsible citizens. If Clinton and Gore were really interested in reducing gun crimes, they would take the much tougher political step and actually use

the thousands of laws already passed instead of making new ones.

John Timmerman is a Trinity sophomore.

In

America, whenever a tragedy like Columbine occurs, there is an intense public desire to “do It something!” doesn’t matter what, but Americans want to have some result come out of it. “Don’t waste their deaths,” they say. The result is foolish and poorly conceived legislation that does little to help. But it satisfies our conscience and the average voter’s political activism quota, so the issue quickly dies. This type of reactionary politics is responsible for more bad laws and violated liberties than any other source.

If anything is really a “waste” of these children’s lives, it is when people like A1

How I spent my spring break Hua Wang What a phenomenal spring break, even if I didn’t get to be in a drunken stupor on an exotic island while dancing to a Latin tune and kissing a hand-

some stranger.

My vacation consisted of being forced to wake up at the insanely early hour of 7 a.m., sharing a room that was smaller in size than a Blackwell single with !ve other Duke students and trying to stay awake alter listening to four hours of lectures every day. he very first afternoon, I asked myself: “How did I get into this situation?”

It all started when I signed up for a Break for a course on child advocacy. I knew I liked kids, and the trip to Philadelphia sounded refreshing and in we with my idealistic notion of changing the world, hut no one told me I was going to be living in the cart of inner-city Philadelphia with a flooding toilet and nine girls (and one lone guy) and be nicknamed u a-naidill° I thought I would have a “feel Grill. good trip that would allow me to do some service v ork while touring the City of Brotherly Love, ut despite my complaints, I would re-live spring k re ak if it were possible. I got to hang around six incred-

ible kids who have so much going against them, but who have not yet succumbed to the temptations of their surroundings. Even though their parents had been on welfare and they live in a trash-filled and crime-infested ’hood, these kids had straight As and hearts of gold.

These kids were genuine diamonds-in-the-rough who just need a little bit of love and guidance.

The last night that we spent with the kids, we had a dance contest between Duke students and the kids.

Irreverently, we Duke contestants danced to the Thong Song (in a church) and were embarrassingly

Suddenly, my pimples don’t seem so big anymore. My 9:10 Spanish classes five times a week don’t seem to be such an annoyance. worse dancers than Duke fraternity brothers.

The kids, on the other hand, trumped us completely with their youthful innocence and enthusiasm. They had obviously put much effort into their choreography, and they had synchronized their outfits, which included white tank tops and rolled-up

jeans. Like The Jackson Five, they were natural-born entertainers.

As their bodies grooved to the lyrics of “If at first you don’t succeed, then dust yourself and try again,” I was struck by how vulnerable these precious kids are to the temptations of drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and sex. They could easily end up as statistics after becoming dependent on government aid. Nevertheless, these kids have an incredible church, great families and an inner spark that will allow them to overcome any obstacles.

It was incredibly hard to say goodbye to these kids. They were finding any and every excuse imaginable in order to spend more time with us. As we hugged each other and said our goodbyes, the kids promised to write to us right away. They showered us with so much love and trust. But I feel undeserving of all this outpouring of love.

I was only there for a week, but in that short length of time, I have been significantly changed.

This trip gave me a new perspective on my “problems.” Suddenly, my pimples don’t seem so big anymore. My 9:10 Spanish classes five times a week don’t seem to be such an annoyance. My never-ending “to-do” list doesn’t seem to exhaust me or give me a headache.

I no longer view poor children as pity cases. And I no longer feel hopeless because of social injustice.

And to think I was going to isolate myself with homework, Ramen noodles and cable television for a pathetic spring break.

tinned to make noise for about two minutes, Dean said.

The women heard him leave through the sliding door and waited a few minutes before calling the police. Dean said they waited because they feared that the intruder might hear them.

The man stole the resident’s $2,500 Dell laptop computer with serial number MWWCQ and a gray wool bag containing $5O worth of miscellaneous items.

The other resident of the apartment was walking from the parking lot toward the building and saw the man leaving.

She said he ran around the corner of the building toward Alexander Avenue.

“I saw him when I was coming out of the lot. I had all my suitcases, coming back from spring break,” the woman said. “I saw somebody coming out of the apartment; it looked like somebody coming to see ifI was back

from break. I was about to call out to him. I had no idea. When I got into the apartment, they screamed and shouted at me to close the door.”

She said it was too dark to see the suspect clearly; the two women in the apartment never saw the suspect, The resident who was in the apartment when the robbery occurred has decided to move to Trent Dormitory because of her fresh memories of the burglary and apprehension about safety on Central Campus and in a first-floor apartment.

“Duke Police is advising everyone to always keep their windows and doors secured at all times and to report suspicious activity as soon as possible,” Dean said. “If an intruder enters your apartment and you are in it, make every effort to safely flee the apartment, get to a safe place and call Duke Police, 911.”

Campus Police officers are also available to give crime prevention talks. Anyone interested should call Maj. Sarah Minnis at 684-4713. .

�FINANCIAL AID from page 1

“As with all financial aid gifts, Bob Torray’s generosity means that the pressure on our scarce financial aid funds is somewhat lessened, and the office can be more generous with other students at the margin,” Keohane explained.

Development officers have raised about two-thirds of the campaign’s $249 million goal for financial aid fund raising. About 65 percent of the total is marked for undergraduates. “I can remember a time not too many years ago when it was a generally accepted wisdom that you couldn’t raise money for need-based financial aid,” Belvin said. “I certainly think our success today shows that’s not true.”

A day after playing one ofthe most physically demanding games of the season, the Blue Devils had the day off from practice and a chance to reflect upon the past two games and their NCAA future.

The women’s golf team may have won two tournaments by a combined 29 strokes during spring break, but coach Dan Brooks still isn’t satisfied.

In fact, despite victories at the Casa de Campo and Lady Gamecock tournaments, Brooks is calling for additional practice, because he feels his team’s short game is way off from where it should be.

“We have players that traditionally do really well around the greens,” Brooks said. “It’s pretty clear it’s not going as well as it can be.”

The breaking point came after the first round of last weekend’s Lady Gamecock Classic in South Carolina.

The Blue Devils’ short game was simply not there, and Duke shot a 21-over 309.

While that score was good for a onestroke lead on the weak field, the Blue Devils, and especially their coach, were not happy.

“That first day—it’s been a long time since I watched a tournament and saw so many putts miss,” Brooks said. “I told them that their short game isn’t where it needs to be.”

Following the round, Brooks gathered his team, and the Blue Devils spent over two hours practicing. The extra time paid off, as Duke shot a tournament-low 292 the next day The Blue Devils finSee GOLF on page 15

They move the ball so quick on offense, and they had great cuts, and we were always moving on defense. I think that really got us tired.”

But before the Lady Toppers would succumb to fatigue, they gave Duke all it could handle. Western Kentucky stayed within four points of the favored Blue Devils for the majority of the first half. And a flustricken Mansfield was a big reason why.

The All-American repeatedly beat Lauren Rice and Parent inside in the first half, grabbing seven rebounds —including four on the offensive end—and scoring 10 points. “[Mansfield] is a trooper there,” Western Kentucky coach Steve Small said. “I’m in the locker room, and I hear someone throwing up. It’s usually me, but it wasn’t me. I looked in there and I hear Shaßae going Blech I’ll be alright coach, Blech!' I said, ‘Just close the door.’ She won’t tell you, but she’s a very sick camper.”

Game Analysis

“Mansfield is an incredible player—take nothing away from what she did tonight,” Parent said. “We know it was going to be a tough matchup for anybody on our team. Someone was telling me before the game, ‘She’s going to be hard to stop.’ But I said, ‘She’s going to beat me, but she’s not going to beat the whole team.’”

Notes: With the win, Duke advances to its third straight Sweet 16.... Former men’s basketball player Trajan Langdon attended last night’s game.... The win marked the 100th victory for Duke’s senior class, who played their final game in Cameron.... The injured Peppi Browne received a rousing ovation toward the conclusion of the contest.

An ill Mansfield and the paper-thin playing rotation of WKU finally wore down in the second half, allowing the Blue Devils to go on their game-breaking 21-6 run.

to that.”

But while they lacked depth against Kansas, the Blue Devils played well enough to win.

Krzyzewski defended his team’s performance Sunday, though he did admit 23 turnovers were too many.

“It was great, like you were in Hoosiers or something.”

Mike Krzyzewski, on the scene in Duke’s locker room AFTER ITS WIN OVER KANSAS “I thought we played well,” Krzyzewski said.

“We don’t win that game unless we play well. We didn’t shoot well—we turned the ball over—but we did other things well.

“Most teams lose yesterday with the way that game started. It’s like getting into a fight; we lost the first three rounds, we were knocked back, but all of a sudden you come back... and it’s tied at halftime.”

And while their focus is now squarely on Syracuse, the Blue Devils have now had some time to reflect upon their third straight berth in the Sweet 16.

“It was one of the great happy moments in the locker room,” Krzyzewski said of the atmosphere after the game. “It was very genuine.... It was great, like you were in Hoosiers or something.

“This is a team that has loved playing together.

We haven’t felt any pressure.”

Clearfield, Penn., freshman.

She sank the foul shot to knot the game at 21 and Duke would never trail again.

Immediately afterwards, Parent made her first big play of the night, ripping a defensive rebound out of the hands of a crowd of red jerseys beneath the Lady Topper basket and sending the

ball up court.

Fittingly enough, it was Mosch who

finished what Parent had

started.

Sophomore Krista Gingrich fed the

ball ahead to Mosch in transition, who sliced through the middle of the lane, picking up a foul from Katie Wulf and banging home the layup for the second of two three-point plays on the night.

But it wasn’t just the career 25point night that Mosch was about to have, a night that eclipsed her old high total by nine points, it was her ability to make Duke’s transition game lethal.

“She’s playing her best basketball right now,” Goestenkors said. “She’s feeling veiy comfortable with when she should take the ball to the basket, when she should pull it out, when she should move it.

“Tonight she made great decisions with the basketball.”

And then there was Parent, a player who is to the Blue Devils’ intensity level what Alan Greenspan is to the nation’s economy.

ished the tournament at 900, 19 strokes ahead ofLSU. “I think the practice did a lot,” Brooks said. “Our short game just got better.... We finally got down where we belong. We need to stay well under 900 to play championship golf. But we have plenty of time” With nearly two months between now and the NCAAs, Brooks is hoping to rearrange his practice schedule to find longer blocks of time in which to practice play around the greens.

At the Lady Gamecock, three Blue Devils finished in the top five, and all five players finished in the top 20. Kalen Anderson led the way for Duke, and after firing a 145 over the first two rounds, she stood in first place.

It marked the first time Anderson ever led a tournament after two rounds, and the junior stumbled a bit on the final day. Anderson shot a 78 and slipped to third place with a team-low 7-over, 223.

“She’ll get more comfortable being in that position,” Brooks said.

“She has the game where she’ll be in that position more often. I think it got to her a little bit, but that’s going to happen to anyone. She’s human.”

With 115:28 to play and Duke up just a point poinf at 41-40, Parent corralled a Mosch miss in a crowd of Lady Toppers and powered up the putback for Duke’s firs first field goal of the half.

And from there the Blue Devils never 1 looked back.

The Akron, Ohio, junior controlled the glass for the next five minutes of the game, pulling down six of her game-high 11 rebounds during the and stretch, keeping Shaßae Mansfield, the Lady Toppers high scorer with 21, out of the game as the Blue Devils raced to a 56-44 advantage that all but sealed the game. “[Parent] just took over the game with her rebounding and her defensive intensity; she took us to a new level,” Goestenkors said. “She was our warrior. She’s our MVP tonight. She didn’t have the most points, but she made all the hustle plays and took us to a new level defensively.”

And she put a stamp on the Blue Devils’ third consecutive second round win that was distinctly hers, distinctly Mosch’s and distinctly Duke.
