Duke pressures FOCUS professors to fundraise

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

An Arts and Sciences Development Office idea to find potential donors to the FOCUS program is not working out as hoped, and for some professors has raised questions about how active they should be in the fundraising process.

Earlier this month, the development office and Susan Bemdt, associate director of development for arts and sciences, sent an e-mail to FOCUS professors inviting them to a set of three meetings, where they were eventually asked to identify FOCUS students whose enthusiasm indicated that their parents might donate to the program.

FOCUS program director Seymour Mauskopf said the success of FOCUS has led the University to try to endow the programs—which offer interdisciplinary sets of courses for freshmen. The endowment effort was

spurred last month by a $5 million matching gift.

FOCUS and development officials must first find 20 other gifts of at least $250,000 in order to receive aU the money as a match.

“As you may have read, the Bass family has generously made a $5 million chaHenge grant for FOCUS to Duke,” reads the e-mail, which was confidential until it was obtained by The Chronicle this week. “We look forward over the next few years to seeing the program fully endowed. Arts and Sciences Development is asking for your help in identifying families who may be interested in assisting Duke in this manner.”

Professors’ objections were first raised publicly at the Feb. 8 meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council, prompting the development office to abandon the idea of distributing to professors a list of potential donor families, from which they were supposed to choose. The meetings were still held, however, and were more ex-

plicit than the e-mail in soliciting professors’ direct help in identifying FOCUS students whose parents could be targeted as contributors.

But that plan has been tabled because of the objections that identifying students might strain the integrity of the professor-student relationship.

“What came out of these meetings was; How do we work with the development office to endow the FOCUS programs without straining our relationships with students.... I think these meetings have been more explorations,” said Mauskopf, also a professor of history, who attended two of the meetings.

Requesting students’ names from the faculty as a means of gaining such donations went too far, said William Chafe, vice provost for undergraduate education and dean of the faculty of arts and sciences.

“In this instance regarding the FOCUS program, we See DEVELOPMENT on page 7

Fraternities may keep offering bids

Duke ranks among best for blacks

Men who did not get a bid at the fraternity of their choice should not despair. A new Interfraternity Council initiative designed to keep rushees in the system will encourage fraternities to give out bids to men who were not selected during the formal rush process.

“Our rush system is set up so it’s very easy for guys to become disenchanted with the process because they signed up at places they weren’t a good fit for,” said senior Chris Dieterich, IFC president.

“They fall away from the system as a whole. This is an [attempt] at giving guys opportunities to work in the system and find places that are a whole lot better match for them.”

Although there is no official estimate of the number of men who did not get the bids they wanted, the number who initially signed up for rush but did not end up pledging is about 100. A list of these students’ names will be available for fraternities who wish to add more pledges.

Under the new process, fraternities may give out “snap” bids—that is, bids men must decide on almost immediately. Individual groups have extended bids past the official deadline before, but this is the first year IFC has formally endorsed such action. The Panhellenic Council holds a similar process each year—continuous open bidding—for sororities that did not meet their quota of new members. Dieterich said that about four to six groups plan to offer snap bids.

Sophomore Greg Daut, president of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, said his group would consider the measure.

Dieterich emphasized that the See RUSH on page 6 �

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.— Pete Gillen was

not expecting much of a valentine from the Blue Devils last night. But after suffering a 42-point loss earlier in the season at Cameron Indoor Stadium, everything came up roses last night for Virginia (17-6, 6-6 in the ACC).

Virginia became the second team in two weeks to down the Blue Devils (22-3, 10-2) in a last-second, 91-89 win at University Hall. Perhaps more strikingly, the Cavaliers brought the nation’s longest consecutive-road-win record to an end at 24.

According to a ranking released last month in Black Enterprise Magazine, the University has moved up from being the 20th-best college for black students to the 16th, but some local observers who wonder what Duke has done to deserve this boost expressed skepticism about the study’s methodology.

Administrators said they welcomed the latest ranking, pointing to the growing applicant pool of black students and numerous programming initiatives over the past few years as evidence of the University’s commitment to making Duke a better place for black students.

“I’m delighted that we were ranked high because that sends a message to people outside Duke and will have an effect on our ability to recruit talented African-American students,” said Sally Dickson, vice president for institutional equity.

Two years ago, the University first declared Martin Luther King Day a school holiday and ended a three-year search for a full-time director of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture. This year, the Black Student Alliance and Student Affairs teamed up to create the first-ever African-American Mentoring Program.

Still, students and administrators alike questioned the methodology of the ranking, which took only four criteria into account: the graduation rate of black students, the percentage of the student body made up of black students and rankings of social and academic climate by higher-education professionals. The graduation rate of black students was ranked most See RANKINGS on page 7 &

Defense Secretary Donald WASHINGTON Rumsfeld chastised Russia Wednesday for contributing to the spread ofmissile technologies to nations hostile to the United States.

In his strongest comments about Russia since becoming Pentagon chief in January, Rumsfeld said Russia’s opposition to Bush administration plans to erect a defense against ballistic missiles “is not really serious.”

Rumsfeld said Moscow has nothing to fear from a US. missile shield, which would not be capable of defeating a large-scale missile attack of the kind that the Russian military is able to launch. The US. defense system would be designed to stop “handfuls” of missiles, he said.

The Russian government has said a U.S. national missile defense would violate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty, lead to the unraveling of other arms control measures and disrupt the global balance of power.

“Russia is an active proliferator. They are selling and assisting countries like Iran, North Korea and India and other countries with these technologies, which are threatening other people, including the United States, Western Europe and countries in the Middle East. Why they would be actively proliferating [missile technologies] and then complaining when the United States wants to defend itself against the fruit of those proliferation activities, it seems to me is misplaced,” Rumsfeld said.

THuiC Police have already identified A nlo VY ChK some of the people in the photographs and will contact them soon, said Jane Cousins of the Chapel Hill Police Department.

“Since we released the photos, we’ve received information and are following up on leads,” said Cousins.

Those identified in the photographs—obtained from WRAL news videotape as well as pictures taken by a bystander—could be-charged with felonies related to rioting, Cousins said.

“We’re using the photos as tools to get more information,” she said. “We would appreciate anyone who knew of information to give us a call.”

Citizens offer suggestions for handling state budget shortfall: Citizens across North Carolina have

plenty of ideas for tempering the state’s budget problems, ranging from turning down thermostats to ending subsidized abortions for state employees.

Senate President Pro Tern Marc Basnight asked citizens last month to offer suggestions for savings, as the state faces a $791 million shortfall in the current budget year and a similar projected shortfall next year.

Roughly 200 people have submitted suggestions by letter, phone call and e-mail.

“A quick way to save a large amount ofmoney is to do away with the bear crossings that are scheduled to be constructed on the new sections of U.S. 64 between Plymouth and Columbia,” wrote David Earley, a Department of Transportation worker. “I have yet to find out who is going to teach the bears that they are supposed to cross the road only at certain locations.”

Other suggestions included overhauling the DOT completely, releasing nonviolent criminals to cut prison costs, and turning down the temperature in prisons and state offices. Others proposed that the state adopt a lottery, get state celebrities to help raise funds in a “Jerry Lewis-style” telethon, or stop the state employees’ health plan from covering the costs of abortions and contraceptives.

The bill would permit the installation ofradar guns equipped with cameras. When the radar detected a speeding vehicle, it would trigger the camera to take a photo of its license plate. The date, time and speed would also be recorded. Owners of the cars caught speeding would face $5O fines unless the individuals provided the name of the people driving their cars or signed an affidavit that the car was stolen or not in their use.

Under the bill, the devices would be installed at three interstate locations to test their effectiveness at slowing speedy drivers. In 2003, the General Assembly would evaluate the program’s success and decide whether to continue or expand the project.

The measure has the support of a legislative coihmission on road safety.

doled out carefully as the result of an Army-wide shortage, military officials said.

Soldiers who had lined up Tuesday morning to get pistols from an arms room at Fort Bragg had to make other plans after a captain announced that the training range was closed. A general had called off the shooting because of the shortage of9-millimeter pistol ammunition.

Army spokespeople said pistol ammo is available for high-priority units to train, and there is no shortage in go-to-war stocks. Still, the shortage is a problem for staff officers doing routine annual proficiency training.

“We are not the priority unit, so we don’t get to shoot,” said Lt. Col. Roger King, Fort Bragg’s public affairs officer. King was among the 18thAirborne Corps headquarters company staffers who could not practice Tuesday.

The 18th Airborne Corps is giving priority to units that are about to deploy or whose soldiers regularly use handguns, including military police and Special

with records from Clinton’s presidential library and the Democratic National Committee in its probe of the pardon.

A source familiar with the case told The Associated Press that U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White in New York “is trying to determine if there was a transfer of money to buy the pardon.”

White also wants to examine bank records, telephone records and other documents to determine whether there was anything criminal in Clinton’s decision to grant Marc Rich a pardon, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Marc Rich has lived in Switzerland since just before he was indicted in New York on federal charges in 1983, including evading more than $4B million in taxes, fraud and participating in illegal oil deals with Iran.

At the Senate hearing, Sen. Richard Durbin, D-111., said the Rich pardon “certainly raises the appearance of impropriety.”

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said she has “concerns not only about the Rich pardon but about a number of’ others granted clemen-

Adams told the committee that he learned of Rich’s fugitive status “from the FBI” after the White House told him records checks should be done on Rich and Green.

At the time of the pardon, Rich was listed on the Justice Department’s Web site as one of the most wanted international fugitives.

Senate Republicans appeared Wednesday to want to move away from the issue, particularly after President George W. Bush said a day earlier that “it’s time to move on.”

Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., distanced himself from earlier remarks that lawmakers might want to look at trying to impeach Clinton again, and no other senator has picked up on Specter’s call for a constitutional amendment to put restrictions on the president’s authority to pardon.

“While it may be advisable for us to explore the facts and the circumstances, this is ultimately a matter for the U.S. Department of Justice and the United States attorneys, not the Congress,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Chafe says development strategy was inappropriate � RANKINGS from page 1 made a mistake when it was suggested that students could be used as a vehicle for identifying potential donors,” Chafe wrote in an e-mail. “My belief had been that the development office was simply trying to find enthusiastic advocates for the FOCUS program.”

Central’s potential

Commentary

Question time

Central

Campus is a desirable, affordable housing option for stuand it seems that most residents enjoy living there. But the dents, apartments themselves—which were never designed to last this long in the first place—have outlived their usefulness.

The University should pursue a complete Central Campus redesign as soon as possible. If done properly, the situation could be a winner for all parties involved.

Rather than undertake the redesign itself, Duke should contract with a private company to raze the current apartments and build new units.

While the Central Campus Housing Office has done an admirable job of maintaining and repairing the current units, no amount ofrenovation could render them a viable long-term housing option.

Instead, new units should be constructed to hold more people and should be designed for long-term use. Worthwhile improvements over current amenities should include larger kitchens, comfortable furniture and better ventilation and lighting.

Building such housing, especially under a private contractor, is a viable option that could run concurrently with West Campus renovations. Outsourcing would be virtually free to the University—and it could even end up owning the buildings after a long-term lease expired.

One of Central’s principal advantages is space. By building new, higher-density housing where abandoned buildings and some parking lots now sit, Duke could get new buildings built without creating an undue demand for “swing” space to house displaced students.

Furthermore, Central's relative isolation from West Campus alleviates concerns about Duke’s campus seeming cluttered with construction.

It is extremely important that Central remain an affordable housing option. Even if the cost ofthe units must rise somewhat, prices should be kept in line with those on West Campus. Because Duke will soon expand financial aid to cover all West Campus housing options, incorporating Central into that expansion would not force cash-strapped students to take a hit if the price of apartments has to rise.

However, the University should not continue to waste money trying to promote Central Campus as a “community.” Many students choose to live on Central precisely because they desire greater autonomy and selectivity to decide with whom they socialize. Students choose Central because they want a place to live, not a place to socialize. The repeated failure to convert the Devil’s Den into viable programming space—one of the most costly mistakes in the recent history ofAuxiliary Services—represents the likely effect of further community-building efforts.

Still, placing commercial ventures and amenities such as expanded laundry facilities, stores or other personal services on Central could be a profitable and enjoyable improvement to the area. But again, such ventures are probably better left to the hands of private corporations.

Duke should learn a lesson from its current situation. Any new Central Campus construction, or any construction project at all, should be made for the long term, with sturdy, high-quality buildings that can accommodate a growing University population. For example, Central might be one of the best ways for Duke to absorb an increase in the size of the Pratt School of Engineering’s undergraduate body.

Students desire and enjoy apartment-style living. Instead of seeing more students go to off-campus locations to get it, Duke should capitalize on the opportunity that Central Campus presents to make housing that is affordable, attractive and enjoyable for its residents.

for the president Essay William Satire WASHINGTON Suppose a reporter in the East Room to ask: “Mr. President, you said about the investigation into the Marc Rich pardon that ‘it’s time to move on.’ Was this your directive to the U.S. attorney in New York to drop her criminal investigation into the influence of money on the pardon decision?”

Then the follow-up: “Is your ‘move on’ statement a signal to your attorney general to refuse to grant immunity to Denise Rich, thereby blocking her testimony to rose

Congress?”

No, no, he’d probably say, it’s not for him to tell the Justice Department how to enforce the law, it’s just that, um, bygones should be bygones.

“Can you assure the American people, here and now, that you will abide by established Justice Department vetting procedures before granting clemency, so that no future billionaire fugitives buying political influence can get off scot-free?”

That’s a tough one; no president likes to give up any constitutional power to act all by himself, even when a predecessor’s abuse of that power has caused a wave of disgust to engulf his previously ardent defenders.

We do not know whether President George W. Bush has an answer to that question because—as his first month in office ends—he has not yet held a formal news conference.

That’s a mistake. These are the days that set the precedents for a presidency. If the Bush administration fails to set and adhere to a regular schedule of televised meetings with the press, he will be disserving the public and weakening his governing discipline.

That’s because an impending televised meeting with the whole press corps forces the White House staff to come up with “The President’s Briefing Book.” In it are the 80 or so questions to be ready for, with suggested answers hammered out among the press secretary and chiefs of departments

and agencies. The whole bureaucracy convulses to come up with specific policy decisions lest the top man go off half-cocked.

Those suggested answers are studied,

and often amended, by the president.

That’s how he finds out if his administration is marching in the direction he desires.

That’s when he stuffs into his head the facts and figures he needs to intelligently answer the 17 to 20 questions that get asked in a half-hour.

It’s hard work for the staff, but keeps them focused on the need to deal with what is on the public’s mind. The homework is laborious for the boss, too, but it sets a regular deadline for self-testing.

Not only does the deadline reveal internal policy conflicts within the government, but any submission of fuzzy or inadequate answers shows him where the weaknesses are in his administration.

Thus, the regular news conference is far more than an exercise in public relations; it is a rigorous administrative discipline.

“Question time” in the British Parliament, a great example of calling officialdom to public account, is more partisan; America’s question time can get equally astringent but is often more newsworthy.

When I asked the dreaded question (So, when?) Wednesday, the press secretary, Ari Fleischer, went into the customary songand-dance about how many questions Bush answers every day. He added that Bill Clinton did not hold his first full-scale East Room session until March 23.

But Bush the Elder held his first formal meeting with the press within a week of taking office, and—using a loose definition of “news conference”—held an average of three a month throughout his presidency.

Clinton appeared twice a month, though he went into bunker mode at scandal time.

Presidents Reagan and Nixon averaged only one every two months, Reagan because he hated the preparation, Nixon because he hated the press.

Will Bush follow the example of his father or will he choose the Nixon-Reagan route, facing the music only when he thinks he can call the tune?

Let’s hope his aides are compiling the questions right now. Why haven’t you decided yet about a U.N. ambassador? Do you intend to allow noisy snowmobiles in Yellowstone? When will you fulfill the promise to move the U.S. Embassy to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem? Can we count on regular news conferences? And how often?

‘We are all smart... we don’t rape people—that isn’t true’ Oak Room This interview, with Coordinator >r Sexual Assault Support Services Stephanie Wilena \k, is the fourth in a series of Oak Room Interviews, designed to shed light on the personalities of noted campus figures. The interview was conducted by Martin Barna, editorial page editor of The Chronicle:

MB ; Where are you from?

SW : I moved here from Cleveland, Ohio. I was a

graduate student at Kent State University. I was in a graduate program in education and I was working at the women’s center on campus doing some sexual assault investigation in regards to grant writing and policy on campus and in trying to get a program going there—all as an intern. And then this job came across my screen, and I decided to take it. So, I moved down here. I lived in Cleveland. I did undergraduate and high school in Cleveland as we11.... I did my undergraduate work at Baldwin Wallace College, which is a small, private, historically Methodist school.

word feminism can mean lots of different different people—it’s not just one thing. There is no overarching idea. It kind of saddens me to see that women have trouble identifying themselves with that word.

MB: Do Duke students face a more serious rape threat from other students or from people in the community?

SW: I’d definitely say—in terms of my statistics and observations and everything that is out there about stranger and acquaintance rape—there is a higher risk from other students, because most students are acquaintances of other students and not of members of the community.

MB

:

Do Duke students treat the threat of rape

Some do. I think some address the topic, and there are a number of students that I am working with that are doing great outreach and education and talking about the issue. I thinkthere is a conversation that is lacking. Every couple years we try to bring the topics back up—it doesn’t go away. In the early ’9os, on MB: Kind of like Duke SW: Right. It does have some cross programming with college campuses, there were a couple high-profile Duke, some environmental programming. Actually I was cases.

on the situation—some students who report were raped when they were children, others were raped when they were a freshman and now they are a senior, or for others, the rape occurred two weeks ago. For each of those situations, different options come forward. I also work with students in terms of domestic violence, stalking situations and sexual harassment. With each of those situations, there are different options. So, if it is a rape case. First, I check in with them and their medical condition—ifit was recent or if it happened a while back. If it was a very recent rape, we would encourage them to have an evidence collection. Duke’s Emergency Department has a really great sexual assault collection room and great nurses who collect evidence. And I go with them and walk them through that entire examination. My initial concern is checking on safety and health. It all depends on the nature of the case. Then we talk about legal options, emotional health and finding therapy. I am not a therapist, but I try to help students if emotional feelings about the rape come up and they need someone to talk t0.... I refer students to Rape Crisis of Durham. They have people on call 24-hours to do similar things that I do.

MB; How many Duke students

SW; We receive about 40 new reports in an academic year—but those don’t just include rape and sexual assault. They also include, stalking, sexual harassment, relationship violence and childhood sexual abuse. I would say we have four to six rapes that are reported to me each year that occurred that year or in the previous year.... It is hard for students to report issues of rape and sexual harassment, especially when* it is a date-rape situation.

MB

How does the Duke’s alcohol culture affect the work you do?

sw

;

I don’t think alcohol in itselfis a bad thing....

Alcohol is statistically a part of a lot of sexual assaults—whether it is the perpetrator being drunk or the victim being drunk. Is it what causes rape? No, not at all. But it does increase someone’s vulnerability to rape.... People who sexually assault don’t go for the prettiest or the most sexy, they go for the person who seems the most vulnerable. And unfortunately in our society, women have been perceived as being vulnerable. A lot of our work on this issue is about changing perceptions—women’s perceptions of themselves and men’s perceptions of women. To send the message of, “Women—Watch your drinks,” is dangerous.... Itblames potential victims.

You don’t stop rape by telling women not to drink. What causes rape and sexual violence is much deeper. It comes from power and control issues and societal messages that we get from gender stereotyping, sex roles, homophobia, racism, classism—all the “-isms” that are based on the idea that one person is better than another....

Alcohol is part of the conversation, but it is not the answer to ending sexual violence. ;

To sendthemessage “women watch your drinks, is dangerous....

It blames potential victims.

MB: You are leaving this position in June. Is it from

burnout?

SW; I do feel burned out, but also feel very enriched by this I job. I have learned so much, professionally and personally, from the students I have worked with and the administrators I have worked with. It has been an amazing, lifechanging thing. Burnout is differentfor every person. For me personally, I realize I have done the best I can in this job. And, by staying any longer it would not be the most beneficial thing for the position—not that I think I have done a terrible j0b.... The woman who had this position before I did worked for three-and-a-half years.... Most people who have jobs in sexual assault services don’t stay in their positions for long. I’m very sad to go in lots of ways, but am excited about the possibilities....

MB: What is the biggest challenge that your succeswill face?

SW: I think anyone coming into a new job has to first just learn the job and the system. It is so important to know the system when you are helping students....

Hopefully I will have a chance to spend time with the new person who comes in. We’ll see. sor

IEAN MEAKIM grapples with his opponent from Campbell last night in Cameron

No. 17 Terrapins continue slide, fall to Seminoles 74-71

By DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press

74 COLLEGE PARK, Md

Florida State had let a 1271 point lead dwindle to one, and Delvon Arrington was getting that sinking feeling again.

“I got seared,” he said. “We always seem to let leads go.”

Not this time.Led by Arrington, the Seminoles withstood a furious comeback bid by No. 17 Maryland for a stunning 74-71 victory last night.

The Seminoles had lost nine straight to Maryland and began the game in last place in the ACC, but they never trailed after taking a 4-3 lead.

Florida State (7-17, 2-9 in the ACC) led by 12 early in the second half, yet Maryland had several chances to tie or take the lead in the closing minutes. After two foul shots by the Seminoles’ Antwuan Dixon made it 74-71 with 16 seconds left, Maryland (15-9, 6-6) missed two threepointers before the buzzer sounded.

“I was just so relieved,” said Arrington, who scored 17 points. “I’ve never won a game at Maryland. I’m at a loss for words.”

The Seminoles in recent games had lost to N.C. State in overtime, faded in a nine-point defeat at Georgia Tech and rallied before losing to Wake Forest 71-65.

Thomas to retire Miami Dolphins running back Thurman Thomas will retire. The longtime Buffalo Bill will be waived by the Dolphins, signed by the Bills for a day, and then retire.

“This time we did it for 40 minutes,” Arrington said. “Not 25, not 30, like we usually do.”

Dixon scored 14 for Florida State and Adrian Crawford had 11.

“We played close in a number of games this year. It seemed in those games we were never able to make the play when it mattered the most,” Seminoles coach Steve Robinson said. “Tonight was one of those nights where we got it. We got it.”

Juan Dixon scored 14 points for the Terrapins, but missed 8-of-ll shots and had six turnovers. Freshman forward Chris Wilcox, making his first college start, scored 13 points on 6-for-7 shooting.

The Terrapins have lost five of their last six, the lone win in that span against last-place Clemson. The tumble began with an overtime loss to Duke in which Maryland blew a 10-point lead in the final 54 seconds of regulation.

“You have to look at the Duke game. From there we haven’t been able to get it back,” Terps coach Gary Williams said. “We were playing great and we lost the game. We haven’t been able to pull out of that.

“We didn’t lose the game in the second half.

We lost the game in the first half. We let Florida State get out to the lead and gain confidence. We weren’t able to come out with the intensity level to match theirs.”

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

While Maryland’s forward tandem of Reeneika Razor and Dedee Warley both average in double-figures, Duke’s Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis are more explosive than their Terrapin counterparts. In January, Beard scored a career-high 33 points against Maryland; she will look to repeat her success at home.

H

Marche Strickland and Kiki Wimbush are very capable guards, but neither have the ability of Georgia Schweitzer and Sheana Mosch. Schweitzer, a finalist for the Naismith award, and the dynamic Mosch, who averaged 26 points per game during Beard’s absence, will have a clear advantage.

JO

OQ

Both teams rely heavily on their starting fives, so expect the starters to play a lot of minutes. In the first encounter between these teams, Michele Matyasovksy and Rometra Craig provided 18 points off the bench, while Maryland’s key reserves—Jameeca Harrell, Sarah Jenkins and Teri Daniels—each failed to score Duke’s last home game resulted in a bitterly disappointing loss to Florida State. While Maryland, fighting for a spot in the NCAA tournament after losing two straight, will approach this game with serious urgency, the Blue Devils’ play should be equally passionate.

Duke will not overlook another unranked team.

After struggling to adapt to the return of leading scorer Alana Beard, Duke’s 20-point win over Georgia Tech indicated that the Blue Devils’ adjustment process is almost over.

With four starters now averaging double-figures, Duke boasts a very talented and wellbalanced attack. After a five-game winning streak, Maryland has lost two in a row, and Compiled by Nick Christie tonight will likely be another loss. Duke wins 81-62.

University Hall crowd leads UVa to last-second triumph Va. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia coach Pete Gillen will not be jumping off a bridge anytime soon.

After watching his Virginia Cavaliers outmatch, outrun and out play Duke last night, it is pretty safe to safe that Gillen won’t be falling off the Brooklyn Bridge unless he stumbles enjoying the

Wahoos’ party.

It was the stellar play of the Cavs that has Charlottesville partying. In 40 minutes, they managed to systematically expose all of the Blue Devils’ weaknesses with the help of a sixth man that equaled the Cameron Crazies’ tauntin and, even started a mock “Who’s your daddy Battier?” chant.

Paul Doran Game Commentary “We couldn’t have won without our students,” Gillen said. “They gave us a 10- to 12-point advantage.”

Aside from the home court advantage, something Virginia loves with a 51 ACC record at home and the complete reverse on the road, the Cavs started the night by out-hustling the Blue Devils to every ball.

They also dismantled Duke’s interior defense, and the combination of the two resulted in a 15-rebound margin in favor of the Cavaliers after the first half.

With the Wahoos killing Duke on the boards, Virginia was able get three, four and even five extra chances.

Meanwhile, on the offensive end, Virginia center Travis Watson was showing off some of his great moves,

constantly going underneath Carlos Boozer or splitting the defense under the basket for the easy layup. By the time the second half rolled around, a frustrated and tired Boozer picked up three fouls in the span of two-and-a-

half minutes.

“We were going inside all night long,” Watson said. “It was our game plan to get [Boozer] in foul trouble and eventually it worked.”

Along with that, the Cavs also managed to give Mike Dunleavy an early seat on the bench when he picked up his fourth foul with less than four minutes gone in the second half. That forced coach Mike Krzyzewski to play an inexperienced Casey Sanders for seven minutes, which is more than double what he usually sees in ACC contests. It also forced Krzyzewski to leave Shane Battier in for the entire game, while Jason Williams only got a minute of rest and Nate James was limited to three.

Meanwhile, on the Cavaliers’ side, Gillen was constantly rotating his eightman line-up in and out ofthe game, and even gave his eighth man nine minutes of play.

“I thought maybe we could wear them down since they only play six-anda-half guys,” Gillen said.

While James and Battier responded positively to the pressure, Williams went 5-for-21 from the floor. However, the whole Blue Devil team looked tired from the line where they shot just over 50 percent.

Fortunately for the Blue Devils, freshman Chris Duhon responded by hitting 7-of-8 shots and scoring 20 points in the loss. He did not miss in the second half.

“Chris really carried us in the second half,” said Battier, who hit a solid 4-for-7 from the three-point line as well. “He made some big shots.”

Williams, meanwhile, contributed 14 points, but instead of facing Hand, he faced off against game-breaker Hall.

“Adam likes a challenge,” Gillen said.

“Jason Williams might be the best player in America, but Adam wanted to guard him. We were concerned about Williams’ quickness, but Adam did a great, great job on him.”
