Scholars discuss CAPS director named interim VP Jim Clack will serve during the search for a new Student Affairs leader care psychiatric

By JAIME LEVY

Recent studies have shown that law enforcement officials can be effective in ensuring that mentally ill people take

their prescribed medication.

By MARKO DJUKANOVIC The Chronicle

When it comes to dealing with the mentally ill, treatments are difficult to administer and are very often controversial. All too often, psychiatric patients end up in the hospital over and over again because they do not self-administer prescribed treatments.

“You see patients revolving in and out of a hospital and it’s demoralizing,” said Dr. Marvin Swartz, head of Duke’s Division of Social and Community Psychiatry.

A recent study has found an effective but controversial approach that teams law enforcement with doctors: Having a judge order a patient to stick to his treatment can achieve promising results.

The study’s results, published in the April issue ofthe British Journal of Psychiatry and the December 1999 issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry, found that treatment encouraged by the force oflaw can reduce the number ofviolent acts committed by psychiatric patients as well as reduce their rate of hospital readmission.

But the issue at the heart of the matter has to do with the limits of this approach, called involuntary outpatient commitment programs. Mary See MENTAL ILLNESS on page 6

President Nan Keohane announced Monday that Jim Clack, director of Counseling and Psychological Services, will serve as interim vice president for student affairs.

Clack will be vice president during the national search seeking a replacement for current Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Dickerson, who will leave July 1 for a similar position at Princeton University.

The search committee has not yet been named. “[Clackl is very highly regarded both by people in Student Affairs and in other parts ofDuke, and is clearly someone people respect and enjoy working with,” Keohane said. “He is also enthusiastic about using the post for active service, really making a difference on some key issues, during his time

in office.”

Both Keohane and Clack pointed to alcohol, diversity, residential life and academic integrity as the four primary issues that would come up during his term.

The Justice WASHINGTON Department intends to ask a federal judge this week to break Microsoft into two companies to bring about competition in the software industry, officials and others aware of the government’s deliberations said Monday.

The proposal comes less than a month after settlement talks between the government and Microsoft broke down and a federal judge found Microsoft in wide violation of federal and state an-

titrust laws.

But even though the judge,

Microsoft called the idea “a radical and extreme example of government regulation that would be bad for consumers and for the high-tech economy.” A spokesperson, Mark Murray, added, “There is no basis in the evidence presented in this case for this sort ofradical remedy.”

Philippine Muslim rebels who are seeking the release of militants jailed in the United States claimed responsibility Tuesday for the kidnapping. But Philippine officials quickly expressed skepticism over the statement.

The result would be about a 6040 split of Microsoft’s estimated $23 billion in revenue this year, with operating systems being the lesser share. While in some ways the plan would create two monopolies in place of one, the premise is that their incentives would differ and that they would therefore behave differently.

The Justice Department’s inclination to seek a breakup of the company was reported Monday by The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and USA Today.

Student harassment case dropped

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

The case involving a student arrested for violating a restraining order was dismissed last week due to First Amendment concerns.

Pratt senior Albert Estok was taken to court last week for posting messages on DevilNet that his exgirlfriend found threatening. A domestic violence protective order, issued against Estok in late February, specifically said he could not post on DevilNet if he referred to the victim.

But the judge dismissed the case after prosecutor Ashley Jenkins pointed out that Estok’s postings to a DevilNet bulletin board were not specifically directed at the victim and that he is therefore protected from prosecution by the First Amendment. “If he made any threats, then I would do my best to do something about it,” Jenkins said.

The restraining order is still in effect, but Lt. Sara-Jane Raines—the Campus Police officer working on the case—said that because the district attorney will not prosecute for nonspecific postings, she will not try to obtain another warrant against Estok for doing so. “I think it is highly unlikely that someone will take out a warrant on that particular point [of the restraining order!” Raines said.

Raines added that because the case is in criminal court, the Trinity junior cannot appeal the district attorney's decision. “The victim doesn’t have any rights in the criminal court system,” Raines said. “All she can do is live with the decision.”

Estok said he is still banned from Central Campus, where the victim lives, and the Alpine Atrium.

Sleep clinic seeks respite for the weary

Medical Center faculty use behavior modification to help patients fight insomnia

By ELIZABETH CANTER The Chronicle

With about 70 different sleep-related illnesses, more than 40 million Americans suffer from little or no shut-eye.

For the students and others experiencing sleepless nights or daytime in bed,

the Medical Center’s Sleep Disorders Clinic seeks to help.

The clinic is the result of colla'boration between the neurology and psychiatry departments at the Medical Center, explained Gail Marsh, associate professor of medical psychology. ‘The world of sleep disorders is split between people with insomnia and people who sleep excessively during the day,” he said. “The neurology department deals with those who have excessive daytime sleeping, while the psychiatry half deals mostly with insomnia.”

Marsh, who deals mostly with nonclinical insomnia research at the clinic, explained that insomnia is a serious disease that is hard to outgrow. “Once you leam to become an insomniac, it becomes conditioned,” he said. “People train themselves to become tense right before bedtime, and you can visibly see them tighten up and their blood pressure increase.”

Marsh said the Medical Center has developed and is exploring new insomnia treatments. “Our insomnia treatment group pioneered a technique called behavior modification techniques,” he said.

“These work better in the long run than sleeping pills, which tend to lose their utility over time.” He explained that behavioral treatment tries to relax patients at bedtime, working to clear their mind.

‘Treatments try and bar those emotionally laden thoughts,” he said, adding that this behavioral treatment needs to be tailored for each patient.

Marsh emphasized that maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is key in modifying an insomniac’s behavior. “We try and combine [behaviorall techniques and put them together in a package for each patient,” he said. “We’re

Juniors open Marketplace to homeless for Easter meal

By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

On most weekend afternoons, sleepy freshmen in their flannel pants or running shorts fill the Marketplace,

nibbling on French toast sticks, pasta and salads. The crowd that filled the Marketplace last Saturday was

markedly different.

Seventy-five residents of the Community Shelter for Hope came to the Marketplace for a free Easter dinner Saturday, thanks to an effort planned and funded by two Trinity juniors and aided by three Marketplace employees

and several other undergraduates.

Roommates Anil Vedula and Neil Ghodadra dreamed up the idea last semester. The pair began planning and calling administrators after Ghodadra and his family helped with an Atlanta holiday hunger drive last year.

“They were really flexible and open to the ideas,” Ghodadra said. “They were thinking we could get food from the Marketplace, but I thought we should get people here as a change of scenery and because it’s a nice place to eat.”

They arranged for a Duke Transit bus to take the guests to and from the dinner and for the food to be cooked by Dining Services employees.

“We thought this would be a good way of providing help at a time when everyone needs a good meal,” Vedula said. “We helped provide this unity between the Duke and Durham communi-

ty and think we should provide more of these opportunities to show Duke is really interested in helping the Durham community.”

Originally they wanted to turn the

Marketplace into a soup kitchen for

Thanksgiving, but they eventually realized that a November project would be too big a project so early in the year.

The Easter meal is designed as a start for an annual program that will include Thanksgiving, too.

Most of the organizers’ time was spent planning the event and serving the food, although they got some time to chat with their guests.

‘They were really interesting people,” Ghodadra said. “One guy was reading a book about Oscar Wilde and talking about him. Even I didn’t know what he was talking about.”

Another guest explained to Ghodadra the health benefits and philosophical underpinnings of vegetarianism, claiming that primitive man was vegetarian and that humans should not think of themselves as above other animals.

“Once people were in there, it was fun. I had a really great time,” Ghodadra said. ‘There were families eating and kids running around. One kid was running around with a banana, and I thought, ‘What a great scene.’ But the best part is when they all said thank you. It piade me feel like I was really making a difference.”

Zdanowicz, executive director of the

Treatment Advocacy Center, said nearly

half of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and manic-depressive illness suffer from an inability to recognize that they are ill. Consequently, they do not take their medication.

Under the laws suggested by the recent studies, if a patient is unable or unwilling to seek treatment, a physician may request a hearing with a judge. The patient is then assigned a course of treatment; if the patient does not comply with the treatment, the physician may request that law enforcement officers transport the patient to a clinic—-

Justice Department readies plan to break up Microsoft

MICROSOFT from page 2 As recently as last week, officials said the 19 states that joined with the Justice Department in the case appeared to be seeking remedies short of a breakup.

Now that the states have been briefed on the federal

plan, they generally support it, several officials said.

But it is not clear whether the states will endorse the plan in full or formulate a plan of their own by Friday, the deadline set by the judge. It also remains possible that the states will fail to agree among themselves, in which case they are to submit a proposal based on the opinion of the majority.

The broad idea behind the Justice Department’s plan is to create incentives for increased competition in the operating-system and related businesses. One reason Windows has no significant competitors is that Microsoft generally does not create software for nonWindows operating systems, with the exception of Apple Computer’s.

Microsoft Office, the suite of programs that includes

Word for word processing and Excel for spreadsheet calculations, commands over 90 percent of that business, known as application software, so an operating system that cannot work with Office stands little chance of prospering.

But Microsoft argues that a new applications-software company would have no more incentive to write for smaller operating systems than the company does now. Murray, the Microsoft spokesperson, said, “There is no evidence that would lead anyone to believe that Office stands as the linchpin for resolving all of the government’s concerns.”

Because any break-up proposal would almost certainly be stayed pending appeal, the government plans to ask for several interim restrictions on Microsoft’s behavior, to remain in force for three years if a breakup plan is ultimately approved and implemented, and 10 years if it is not.

As part ofthese so-called conduct remedies, Microsoft would have to publish a standardized price list for Win-

Microsoft would also have to make available the Windows interface codes that allow other companies to write programs for Windows without discrimination.

And the company would not be allowed to build certain new applications, such as Web browsers and media players, into Windows without also offering a version ofWindows that did not provide access to that new application. Computer makers would get a discount on Windows if they asked for Windows without the new feature.

The more typical causes of the dozens of different types of insomnia are largely unknown, although Marsh said that the condition does seem to be genetic in some cases. Marsh explained that because there are so many different types ofthe illness, many with overlapping or unclear symptoms, it is hard to pinpoint causes.

“Some people have had trouble sleeping since they were babies, and they’re called primary insomniacs,” Marsh said. “At the other end of the spectrum are folks who just feel like they’re not getting enough sleep, even when our sleep monitors show us that they are getting a pretty good night’s rest.”

Plan for independent student clusters draws support � SPACE ALLOCATION from page 1 we’re going to move people when their dorms are being renovated.”

The review began in spring 1997 with

questions about allocation—the placement of sophomores in Trent and the racial homogeneity of West Campus—but after a few years, its focus changed from philosophical to architectural.

By next year, though, the schedule of West Campus renovations and upper-

quadrangle or more than one,” White said. “Given that independent students make up two-thirds of the upperclass residential group, is one quad enough, or would students want more than one?”

The strategy of clustering students by living preference first appeared in a

plan written in February 1998 by the National Panhellenic Council, the Interfraternity Council and the Black Student Alliance. Earlier this year, it reappeared in a report presented to the Board of Trustees by William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences.

For years, some have argued that many minority students choose to avoid the fraternity-dominated West Campus lifestyle in favor of the quieter, cleaner Central Campus. This plan is designed as a compromise between fostering diversity of students and of living groups on West.

When thinking about the issue over the summer and in the fall, this balance should be in the front of students’ minds, said incoming Duke Student Government President Jordan Bazinsky. “I think we need to talk about this as an inclusive environment,” the Trinity junior said. “We really need to have an inclusive campus and at the same time be receptive to [living] groups’ concerns.”

class students’ temporary displacement to Trent Drive Hall could affect housing preferences. Students might shy away from rushing or picking houses that would be moved for renovation later in their college careers.

As a result, the campus conversation will return to space allocation, to questions about where fraternities, theme houses and independents might be placed once all construction is completed in fall 2006.

“Opening the new dorms between Main West and Edens will be a very significant step in changing the way the campus climate feels residentially. I think it will be as fundamentally different as the shift of all first-year students to East Campus... because it will allow us to think in new ways about how we put different patterns of living groups Keohane thinks the clusters plan together, how people make their choices for where they want to live,” said Presicould be the best way to achieve that dent Nan Keohane. “We hope that it will goal. “I know one of the biggest obstaallow us to encourage more stability, so cles is the different types of preferences that people expect to stay in a single people have for the way they want to house after they move, rather than sort live, how loud they want to party and how quiet they want to be and how of continually moving around and trading up, getting what they regard as betmuch they want to reach out to other folks for programs and how much they ter space.” just want to get their work done,” she Over the last year, the ideas of clustering similar living groups in certain said. “I don’t think it’s beyond our powWest Campus quadrangles and directly ers to devise a system in which we have clusters of people living near each other linking East and West campus dormitories have silently picked up steam.

that students would always be guaranteed a spot in a house among their freshman friends. In other words, students who did not rush a selective house would be guaranteed space together in an independent West Campus dorm affiliated with their freshman house.

Many independent students argue that the idea could eliminate the anxiety of independent housing picks, the general unfamiliarity of neighbors on West and the incentive to join selective groups even if students would otherwise not wish to do so.

Since then, White said, the idea for a link has developed into a flexible model, where students could always return to the West Campus house after living in selective houses, and the West link could serve as a home base of friendly faces and a familiar lifestyle.

“I don’t know if that will be a decision that will be made in the end, but it’s an example of the kind of thing people are talking about, and that would create a sense of continuity in itself,” Keohane said. “If people know they can move together to a space which is as attractive as any other—and all these spaces ought to be equally attractive—then I think it will create a whole different set of choices, so that I would certainly think there would still be selective groups, but people may have different motivations for pledging them. They may have a set of members who are there for reasons that have to do with their desire to build a particular community, not to live in a particular space, and I think that will make a big difference.”

A system in need ofreform

The

recent controversy surrounding former Duke basketball player Corey Maggette points to a systemic problem with men’s college basketball.

Maggette allegedly took $2,000 from a summer league coach while he was still in high school. If the allegations are proven true, Duke will be held responsible for his actions under NCAA rules. However, that does not absolve the system of its guilt.

Elite young basketball players are placed in a no-win situation.

They are constantly told that they possess a special gift that will one day earn them millions, but they can’t cash in until they renounce their college eligibility. Meanwhile, their families often struggle to make ends meet and they struggle to come up with spending money.

The temptation to make a quick buck, even if not big bucks, is always present. From the corrupt AAU summer leagues to the most prestigious college campuses, the system must change.

To begin, the NCAA should pay men’s college basketball players a reasonable weekly stipend. Several players have accepted tiny amounts of money from agents—throwing away their college careers for a little spending money. Considering the NCAA’s recent billion-dollar agreement with CBS, it can afford to invest in the people fans are tuning in to see.

Certainly this stipend cannot compete with the millions the NBA can offer for the top players, but this could keep players in the NCAA who need the experience and who would otherwise have to jump to the NBA. We have reached the point where playing college basketball is viewed by players as nothing more than a weigh station on the road to the NBA. This situation is not good for the players, not good for the schools and not good for the game of basketball.

A more perfect union

Duke

Hospital nurses’ efforts to unionize have accelerated in the last week; they gathered more than 1,000 signatures and are preparing for a hearing next week that will determine the terms of a unionization vote. At the same time, however, they learned that the union would bring with it a right to strike.

Hospital administrators oppose a union on the grounds that nurses’ concerns would not be effectively addressed by such a group. But if the majority of nurses in the hospital want to form a union, the hospital should allow them to do so.

However, the union should explicitly state in its nurse-negotiated contract that it cannot take such a drastic step. Nurses claim the motive for forming a union is improved patient care—clearly, a strike would be counterproductive to that stated goal.

Even without this bargaining chip, a nurses’ union would have significant power. Collective bargaining will increase nurses’ voice in hospital decisions, and the hierarchy of a union will give them an organization to vent their complaints.

If this month’s administrative shakeup is any evidence, the Hospital is committed to improving conditions for nurses. A union seems to be an appropriate and effective way to help employees on the front lines of patient care.

Women’s organization in law school deserves funds For several years the law school has enjoyed the image of being “woman friendly.” In fact, this image is one of the ways the law school tries to attract outstanding female students from the pull of other law school offers. Duke has one of the highest female

faculty rates, more women with higher GPAs and more female participation on law

journals than at other com-

petitive law schools.

However, last week the Duke Bar Association handed down what is perceived by many women as a resounding message: Try as you might,

this law school is anti-woman.

Last Wednesday, the DBA announced its budget allocations for the coming academic year. In an unexpected move, DBA cut the budget for the Women Law Students’ Association—the most active association at the law school—from last year’s $750

to a token $l5O, In 1999, WLSA held more lectures, symposia and social events than any other student group in the law school. Although women represent the majority of students at the law school, when it comes to funding discussion on women’s issues and supporting the only women’s group, the clock appears to have turned back to the days when Duke was graduating only men.

Like many women, I came

to Duke Law School expecting to find a supportive environment for the professional formation of women as lawyers. The image—the faculty, the student body and WLSA’s endorsement sent to every admitted student—got me. However, my first year has seen only male professors, and although each was highly qualified, I soon felt that promise of support lacking. WLSA filled that gap. It

valid reason to oppose a moratorium on the death penalty.

They did not want to address the facts, because the facts strongly pointed in our favor.

The capital punishment system is racist, discriminates against the poor and has condemned innocent people to death. I fail to see how correcting these problems amounts to a political issue.

Our law school has agreed that there are certain basic legal protections that arise above politics. In the end, that is why this vote passed.

from charges of bigotry, they are sorely mistaken.

As students proud of our

Irish heritage and all things Irish—including the James Joyce—we feel their shameless portrayal of a Lucky Charms type Irishman during the Big Show makes us sick and demeans our whole homeland. We are tired of Hollywood and Hollywood wannabee’s like DUI passing off the Irish as drunk, Lucky Charms eating, gold-hoarding short people. They’re always

after our Lucky Charms. We demand an apology from the group, and a round of Guinness for the campus.

Maybe then Irish students on campus can receive their due and stop being associated with leprechauns.

A Duke education through the eyes of KP Dylan Everyday Dharma Kevin Pride One cold night a few months ago I was alone in the an unexpected knock at my door reverberated against the living room windows and startled me. The clock read 11:45.1 wasn’t expecting any guests, although such random visitors aren’t totally out of the ordinary, so I eased off the couch and peered through the shades into the cold, hollow January night.

There was a woman on the porch. A stranger. I slowly cracked the door about a foot open and said or rather, asked—“Hello?” Before I could even finish m y greeting/inquiry she began: “Can I just come inside for a few minutes? I need your help, and I need to come in for just a minute.”

‘What’s the problem? Do you need something?”

‘Yeah. I need help. I need $2O. Can I just come in for

house, reading late, when

—

a second?”

I’m not sure that the printed word can appropriately capture the abruptness of this woman’s speech. She

was almost bullying me with her words, her requests.

I was, by force, on the defensive.

“Twenty dollars? Why would I just give $2O to a stranger? Besides, I don’t have any money here.” (A le, l “And if I did, I probably...”

‘Come on, man. I’ll do some housework,” she said, with visibly growing desperation. “You look like a nice m an. I’]} d ean U p around the house or something.”

You should probably go now. I’m on the phone,” I lle d, again, feeling a strange sense of guilt.

“Isn’t there some kind of arrangement that we can make for $20?” she implored, her right eyebrow bending upward, a faux-sexy smile stretching her mouth.

She clumsily licked her upper lip.

I wasn’t sure what to say. I went on the defensive.

“You’ve got to go. Goodbye.” I shut the door on her. I saw her slap her hip and grimace in defeat as it shut and the deadbolt definitively slid home. I waited for something like 30 seconds and looked out the window onto the porch. The woman was gone.

I couldn’t sleep that night. Her image kept creeping back into my mind, what she looked like. She was a black woman, just barely shorter than myself, and she looked rough, hard. Her skin was speckled and looked like a worn tire, and her broken posture belied the forceful nature of her proposition. She wore a navy jacket, a pair of dark jeans and a turquoise skier’s ear warmer. She smelled like heavy smoke.

I had never been propositioned for a sexual act before, at least not like this, not in away that would involve an exchange of funds. And especially never at my own home. I somehow felt invaded. I began replaying the events in my head, analyzing them, searching for the underlying desperation that must have led this woman to approach a stranger’s house and ask for money, eventually sinking to a willingness to do anything for money.

I envisioned numerous different scenarios. Maybe she was just broke. Perhaps she needed money for drugs or alcohol. My thoughts gradually grew kinder, though not necessarily sympathetic. Was the woman a prostitute, or just a desperate mother? She might have hungry kids to feed. Or she might be facing eviction. Despite my speculation, the fact was that I just didn’t know.

A myriad of possibilities whirled around in my

head. What if I had invited her in? What would that have been like? Maybe she just would have done some housework. Or maybe not.

But then I imagined the next door that she might knock on. And I imagined the myriad of possibilities that she must be imagining as she knocks on that door.

Then I thought of the host of different possible creatures that might answer the knock, and my mind couldn’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, someone out there might not be nearly as civil as I was in handling her.

And suddenly I didn’t feel so invaded anymore. I just felt bad—for her and for the world in general.

I really don’t know what all of this means. It’s one of those situations that I’ve thought about quite a bit and still, a solution eludes me.

This is my “senior column,” and I’m supposed to wax philosophical or look back misty-eyed on my experiences at Duke. But nothing really jumps out at me, at least nothing that I care to see in print.

Instead, I’ve just told a story about something that happened to me one night. And I guess if there’s one truth that can be gleaned from the whole thing, it’s that most of us are pretty damn lucky just to be alive and healthy.

Sure, term papers suck, and all-night study sessions take their toll, but again, we’re pretty fortunate to have the opportunity to endure these things, to have that kind of stress, instead of having to worry about where the next meal is coming from or where you’re going to sleep.

It’s a hard time to be a Duke student right now, with classes ending, finals looming and graduation on the line.

But really, it’s not that hard.

Hepatitis B is a very uncool thing.

It's a liver infection that can make you really sick for weeks or months. Most people pick it up as teenagers or young adults, so college is prime time for hepatitis B. You can get it by having sex, or by exposure to infected blood or body fluids through scrapes or cuts on the playing field. 1 Or through repeated sharing of an infected person's toothbrush, earrings or razor. 2 Even potentially by being pierced or tattooed. The only good thing about hepatitis B is that it's easy to prevent. Just go to the on-campus hepatitis B vaccination clinic listed below, and they'll start you on hepatitis B vaccination. Finish the three-dose series, and you won't have to worry about missing out, messing up or turning an embarrassing shade of yellow.

retires From staff and wire reports

Former Duke baseball player Vaughn Schill informed the Seattle Mariners he was retiring from baseball, according to an article in Baseball America.

The infielder, who was a fourth-round pick this summer, was hitting .250 in 16 atbats for Class A Lancaster.

According to the article, Schill was unhappy with his role in Lancaster. A shortstop with the Blue Devils, Schill was upset he was moved to third base to make room for Antonio Perez, who was part ofthe Ken Griffey Jr. deal with the Reds.

“He was wanting to play more,” Mariners farm director Benny Looper said. “He told me unless I could guarantee him he was going to play, he was going to retire” Looper made no promises, and Schill was true to his word and has left the game. Schill told the Mariners he was interested in pursuing other opportunities.

� Jazz go up 2-0 in series with Sonics The Utah Jazz beat the Seattle SuperSonics last night, 101-87.

The Jazz were led by veterans Karl Malone and John Stockton’s 23 and 21 points, respectively. During the game, Malone also became one of only four NBA players to score more than 4,000 points in the playoffs. Game 3 will be played in Seattle on Saturday. No team since the Houston Rockets in 1995 has come back to win a best-of-five playoff series after being down 2-0.

deep postseason run.

However, the Blue Devils are not focusing on all of the hype surrounding the NCAA tournament and the seeding process.

“For us, that’s not the smartest thing for us to focus on,” coach Kerstin Kimel said.

“For our team, the most important thing is being prepared to play James Madison.”

Although James Madison is ranked in the top five, the Dukes are coming off consecutive twogoal losses, 10-8 to Georgetown and 12-10 to Loyola.

In addition to their late-season slide, they haven’t proven they can win close games. The Dukes have only played in three games which were decided by two goals or less, and have lost all three.

Coach Clar Anderson planned a May exchange trip to Russia and Iran for Blue Devils

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Clar Anderson, Duke’s wrestling coach, spent a year in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s training for the 1988 Olympics.

Now, he wants to give the same opportunity to his team at Duke.

“It was just an incredible experience,” he said. “I spent a year in mainly Eastern Europe training there for myself for the ’BB Olympic trials. At that time, supposedly the countries were in conflict with us in the Cold War, but the people were incredibly acceptable and friendly and open to Americans, so I was welcomed into those countries.”

For Anderson, the people he met and places he went culminated into memories he will never forget.

“It was an incredible experience to see communism at the brink of when it was going under,” he said. “It was chaos, it was needing change. Just traveling around, some of the amenities we have here are just so foreign to those folks.”

Through the friends he made then, he has organized a similar trip for his team this summer. Twelve of the members of the wrestling team leave May 12 for an overseas exchange in two decidedly exotic locations: Russia and Iran.

“It’s places I think will stretch my guys, not only athletically, but impact them personally,” Anderson explained. “Why not to France or Nova Scotia or Finland and I say, Tf you want a vacation, you can take

The team’s travels begin in Moscow, where it will participate in a number of matches with university students and train with national coaches.

“Moscow was for so long, the enemy,” Anderson said. “And now to be able to meet with the folks, to know that these are stu-

dents just like they are, that is my main emphasis.”

May 18, Duke travels to Tehran, where the Blue Devils will train with the Iranian national team, which is in preparation for the Olympics in Sydney this summer.

“It will be the national coaches of the Iranian team, we will be training at their Olympic center,” Anderson said. “They See IRAN on page 19 P-

Maybe it was because we had so convinced ourselves we deserved to win. But maybe our screaming and jumping, the noise and the heat, made a difference.

Right around that time sophomore year the trail of t-shirts gets hazy. There were two Duke blue March Madness tshirts last season, plus the “Turning the Sweet 16” one I got at the Devil’s Den during the away UNC game. All year long, that team walked, talked and blocked shots like one that would win a national championship. We all believed it, and Til never forget the silence in Cameron when Langdon lost the ball for the final time.

One t-shirt I wanted but didn’t get commemorated the 1999 women’s Final Four; Duke gave them out to little kids at a game this year. I’m still annoyed that a couple of my colleagues on the sports staff, who were handing out shirts, wouldn’t give me one Without a doubt, the second best basketball game I attended in my four years was last season’s regional final in shocked Greensboro when Duke Tennessee.

But when the next timeout came, ane the next and the next, I’d look up at the scoreboard to see Duke still holding a lead.

I admit I’ve never worn one in public. Sometimes I wonder why I spend so much time here; though I’ve certainly covered my share of coo events, I would never have put in st many hours if the only rewards had been a few big basketball games.

In a bizarre way, that’s what I like about The Chronicle, that it’s rarely easy I think back to when I received my firs free staff t-shirt, and what the paper has done for two people whose columns wil appear tomorrow.

Yes Mr. Donkey, there is a waffle

time without making any progress. For the last two months, I’ve wondered about how a donkey eats a waffle.

Admit it, you’ve probably thought about this also. One ofthe least respected species of the animal kingdom coming face to flour with one ofAmerica’s favorite snacks. It’s a grandiose topic worthy of its own shelf at the Library of Congress.

No? Are you kidding me? You mean to tell me you’ve never even thought about this? Honestly, I hadn’t either, until I began chatting with a couple of my roommates one night. And in a blur of time not more than 10 minutes long, I had been introduced and enlightened to the donkey/waffle world.

After seeing that I had included a Wile E. Coyote reference in one of my stories, they suggested, no, demanded that I put a “donkey eating waffles” reference' in a story before the end of the year. Simple enough I thought, until I actually tried to put these references in my stories and met the fate of a completely anal editor (By the way Neal, for the last time, you are not a better quarterback than Spencer Romine!).

“Hiding her shoulder injury, Schweitzer fought through her sophomore year like a donkey eating waffle.”

Ripped apart.

“Marie Ferdinand sparked the Tigers on their gamebreaking run, and the game was over quicker than a donkey could eat a waffle.” Crashed and burned.

Infuriated and discombobulated, I came to the conclusion that Neal the Editor simply didn’t appreciate how a

■an

donkey eats a waffle.

Granted, he’s probably never seen a donkey eat a waffle. So I’ll take it upon myself in this “senior column” to explain to Neal and my readers, both of them, the beauty and pageantry of an ordinary donkey enjoying the delightful breakfast snack, and the mind-numbing analogies that can drawn from it.

Initially, the donkey takes a glance at the waffle. Intrigued by the texture, the donkey takes a bite of the waffle. He’s not sure what he just ate.

Little more than five years ago, I first started writing sports for my high school paper. I did it because I liked sports, and because I had memorized most of the alphabet by then, I figured I could write about it too. Heck, I can train a orangutan to be a competent sports writer—teach him a few cliches, feed him a couple of bananas and before you know it, he’s writing better columns than Frank Dascenzo.

Jump ahead a few years to my sophomore year, and Fm beginning to think I actually liked doing this. But one ill-timed and ill-fated story I wrote drew some critical response and made me rethink this whole sports journalism thing.

Obviously, the donkey’s never had anything like a waffle before, so he’s not really used to the taste. But something about the waffle convinces him to keep

taking more bites, and pretty soon, the donkey is hooked.

I realized a long time ago that I wasn’t any good at sports writing, partly because I can only read English at a second-grade level. But I also realized pret-

ty early that The Chronicle isn’t about writing or editing, it’s always been about the people you interact with and enjoying your time with the paper.

That’s why I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Joel Israel, Neal Morgan, Nick Tylwalk, Roily Miller and mostly everyone else I’ve worked with at the paper for letting me enjoy four years working in the dingy offices.

From that frustrating night staring at ridiculous headshots and wondering if it’s too yellow on the printout, to that time two years ago when Michele VanGorp actually came up to the office looking to kick my ass, it’s the people up here who have really made a difference and kept me coming back.

After taking his last bite, the donkey still isn’t sure what to make of the waffle. But he knows one thing for sure, he doesn’t regret eating that waffle.

In the end, my experience at The Chronicle allowed me to ride along with The Journey for four years, and sit courtside for the most memorable athletic event I’ve ever witnessed in person last year in Greensboro. And for that, I can only feel fortunate.

Fortunate because I didn’t end up like the mindless zombies at this school who become rabid followers of that other basketball team. Instead, Nick and the paper helped me discover a team that was truly worth rooting for and a joy to cover.

These last four years sure have flown

fast. After two months of thought, I couldn’t think of a better description for these four years than that one phrase that smacks of genius.

Like a donkey eating a waffle.

Victor Zhao is a Pratt senior. He’d like to remind Nick Tylwalk that they never got to finish the NHL99 series from that day in San Jose, and apologize to sports promotions genius Marc Di lorio for not including his picture in this column.

Wilkens’ retirement brings end Coleman, Hornets tie playoff series, to record-setting coaching career beat Sixers in overtime, 108-98

By PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

Lenny Wilkens ATLANTA resigned today from the Atlanta Hawks after the worst season of a 27-year career in which he won more games than any coach in NBA history.

Wilkens’ resignation was announced at Philips Arena by team president Stan Hasten and general manager Pete Babcock. The coach did not attend the news conference.

“Atlanta will always hold a special place in my heart,” Wilkens said in a statement. “I have so many wonderful memories, both personally and professionally, but it is time to explore new challenges and new opportunities.”

The 62-year-old Wilkens, who coached the Hawks for seven years, had two years left on his contract, paying $10.4 million. The team said it would honor it until he finds a new job.

The decision was not unexpected after the Hawks struggled to a 28-54 record, their worst mark since moving to Atlanta in 1968. The team missed the playoffs for the first time since 1992, losing 25 ofits final 31 games.

“We all concluded mutually that this was a good time to give everybody a chance to start from scratch, start a new chapter in their lives,” Hasten said.

Before coming to Atlanta, Wilkens had stints in Cleveland, Seattle and Portland. His career record is 1,179-981 and his lone NBA championship came with the Sonics in 1979.

Wilkens, an All-American guard at Providence and a nine-time NBA All Star, was the second person elected to the Hall of Fame as a player

and coach.

In 1997, Wilkens was honored as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history and one of the 10 greatest coaches, the only person on both lists.

He got his 939th victory in early 1995, passing former Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach. In 1996, Wilkens coached the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in Atlanta after serving as an assistant in the 1992 Games.

The Hawks had at least 50 victories in three of Wilkens’ first five years, then finished second in the Central after battling with Indiana until the final week of the strike-shortened 1999 season.

Wilkens signed a four-year, $2O million contract extension in 1997. But in a bid to shake up a stale franchise and get past the second round of the playoffs for the first time since moving from St. Louis, Babcock engineered a deal that sent leading scorer Steve Smith to the

Portland Trail Blazers for Isaiah Rider and Jim Jackson.

Rider’s discipline problems were well documented, but the Hawks were in need of a makeover as they moved into the new 19,445-seat Philips Arena.

They wanted to dump Smith’s longterm contract and switch to an uptempo offense with younger, faster players. Rider didn’t show for the first day of training camp, missed a practice and skipped a team flight.

Back in Hornets 108 CHARLOTTE the playoffs after a five76ers 98 year absence, Derrick Coleman scored eight ofhis 29 points in

overtime, leading the Charlotte Hornets to a 108-98 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers to tie their playoff series last night.

Coleman and the Hornets now go to Philadelphia—where Coleman spent almost three years before signing with Charlotte—for Game 3on Friday night.

Allen Iverson, who scored a career playoff-high 40 points in Game 1, tied his career playoff low with 13 points.

It was the first time in Iverson’s 10 playoff games he failed to lead the 76ers in scoring.

Charlotte went back to the basics in overtime, using its huge front line of Coleman, Anthony Mason and Elden Campbell to dominate the 76ers. The Hornets hit their first six shots and 8of-9 in the extra period.

Mason opened the OT with a bruising layup that gave the Hornets a 93-91 lead.

Coleman then took over, scoring six straight points on a layup and two 15foot jumpers for a 99-95 lead with 2:47 to play.

Coleman then took away a rebound at the other end from Tyrone Hill and Charlotte capitalized when Eddie Jones hit a three, Coleman added a turnaround jumper and Mason and Campbell dunked to even the series 1-1.

Campbell finished with 20 points while Jones had 19 and Mason scored 14’ Iverson was held in check the entire night by Jones, who unlike in Game 1 stayed out of foul trouble and, in Iverson’s face.

Iverson was horribly off early, missing badly on a three-point attempt and bricking a layup in the first half. He had just seven points at the break on 2-for-8 shooting. He wasn’t any better in the second half, either.

His first shot of the third quarter didn’t even hit the rim, and as he struggled to get anything off on Jones—-who has a six-inch height advantage on Iverson—he ended up passing the ball more than shooting it.

What shots Iverson did take either rattled off the rim or grazed the glass and bounced into Charlotte’s hands.

He missed a three-point attempt with under a minute to play in overtime and shot just 5-for-21 for the game.

But the rest of the Sixers picked up the slack for him, allowing Philadelphia to maintain an 89-84 lead with four minutes to play.

But Charlotte’s David Wesley hit a three-pointer and the Hornets tied it at 89 when Mason dunked with one second left on the shot clock and 1:01 to play in regulation.

The Hornets then took a 91-89 lead, their first since early in the fourth quarter, on Campbell’s tip-in with 26 seconds to play. The 76ers tied it on Eric Snow’s jumper with 12 seconds to go.

JMU will have to solve Duke’s defense and goalie Chaney

P LACROSSE from page 15

Martinez has 40 goals and 10 assists.

Despite the seemingly daunting task of trying to stop the trio, the Blue Devils don’t plan on introducing any new wrinkles on the defensive end.

“We’re not going to do anything special to defend [Marion, Martinez and Brew],” Kimel said. “Our defense has been playing well as unit and we just plan

to continue that.”

In Duke, the Dukes face a physical, punishing defense that most teams have been ill-prepared for.

Duke has allowed just one of its last eight opponents to reach the double-digit mark in goals.

Amy Noble and Meghan Walters have proved that they can shut down their opponents’ top attackers, and have stepped up their level of play in big games.

Even if James Madison manages to break through Duke’s front line, it will still have to contend with goal-

keeper Shannon Chaney, who has been solid between the pipes all season.

The Blue Devils find themselves in a similar position as James Madison. The Blue Devils are coming off a heartbreaking 7-6 loss to North Carolina in the ACC semifinals.

In the North Carolina loss the team failed to score in the last 25:34 of the game. The team s tendency to endure late-game scoring droughts (i.e., Virginia, Maryland) is something that the coaching staff has addressed this week and feels more confident about going into the matchup vs.

James Madison.

“We sometimes have a tendency to get scared and try to keep the ball,” Kimel said. “Offensively, we need to be creative and do a better job of reading the defenders. The last two days of practice have been great and we have positive momentum going into

Marlins general manager Dave Dombrowski said the team will respect the decision of any of its employees to support the protest. He said the club’s frontoffice workers, players and coaches would be excused with pay for the day.

“I agree with it 100 percent,” Marlins manager John Boles said. “The skids were greased when I recommended them to do it. There are more important things in the world than our game with the San Francisco Giants. Not a lot, but this is one ofthem.”

Lowell, whose parents are Cuban exiles, will miss the home game along with pitcher Alex Fernandez, Vladimir Nunez and Michael Tejera, who’s on the disabled list.

Lowell, born in Puerto Rico, is married to a Cuban woman.

“It really hits home,” Lowell said. “It’s a sensitive issue and I have to be responsible. It’s a little more important than one baseball game. Thank god, it’s not the seventh game of the World Series.”

Fernandez started Monday night against Philadelphia and was the winning pitcher.
