THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

The guy who’s done it all Since 1956, Breyers lead man Arthur Brodie has watched Duke grow up

By ELIZABETH BROWN The Chronicle

Arthur Brodie may not be the hot dog guy, the bagel guy or the crazy towel guy. But he is a cherished campus figure and friend to students, faculty and staff across the University.

At the moment, many students may know him as the Breyers Ice Cream guy, but over the past two decades, his familiar face has graced several campus eating spots.

“He knows just about everybody that comes through here,” said Dining Services co-worker Renee Jones. “Or they know him.”

This fall, Brodie moved from Trinity Cafe to the new Breyer’s Ice Cream stand on West Campus. But his history at Duke started in 1956, when the Franklin County “farming country, cotton and tobacco land” native first arrived at the University.

“I helped build the golf course,” Brodie said. “It was the first job I had—digging up trees, digging up stumps.”

“I worked for Eddie Cameron—you know, [as in] Cameron Stadium. He was my boss at the golf course. He was the man we had to please and look good for when he came around,” he added. “He was a good guy, though.”

In 1958, after serving in the Korean War, Brodie moved to Durham for good. Over the next few years, he worked at places THE BREYERS GUY, also known as Arthur Brodie, has made his mark on the University after See BRODIE on page 7 � 20 years of employment.

OIE focuses on worker mobility � By the end of the semester, the Office of Institutional Equity hopes to have a strategic plan that addresses ways to encourage employees to grow professionally.

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

As Vice President for Institutional Equity Sally Dickson walks around campus, she might notice the abundance of students of different ethnic backgrounds. And she might notice a diversity among employees. At the same time, she would find a prevalence of Latino and black employees at lowlevel positions and the relative dearth of such employees who work at the senior level. Developing a plan to eliminate this disparity will be one of Dickson’s top priorities in the coming months.

“One of the areas I’m looking very carefully at is how people, particularly minorities and in particular, African Americans—how we as an institution offer opportunities for [them] to grow professionally within the organization,” Dickson said.

By the end of the semester, Dickson hopes to have a strategic plan to address the issue of mobility. She and Vice President for Human Resources Clint Davidson are already reviewing the University’s training programs and launching several more.

“This is a piece of work that never quits. You’re never done,” Davidson said. “We’re working on a new set of programs we hope will focus on critical skills as well as some of the basic skills, so that two years from now... these folks are well positioned to successfully compete.”

Several employees said they did not know about programs currently offered to help them gain the skills necessary to get a better job at the University. Some said they would take advantage of such opportunities.

“About 75 to 80 percent of my employees are [Latino], [English as a Second Language] classes would be great for them and for me,” said Moe Salim, manager at the Armadillo Grill. “I have to See MOBILITY on page 6

Hospital officials ponder Oakleigh’s uncertain future

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

For months, the status of Oakleigh Substance Abuse Treatment Center has hung in the balance as Durham Regional Hospital officials assess whether they can continue its funding. But even if the hospital decides to close the facility, the impact may

well be minimal.

“There’s absolutely no talk about quitting providing the treatment, but there is serious talk about, ‘Would it be better to move patients into the hospital?”’ said Don Brady, Durham Regional’s administrative director of marketing. “You have a big building, and you do something else with it.... We’re not looking at not treating those particular patients.”

Oakleigh treats people with drug and alcohol addictions. In addition to providing three- to five-day detoxification sessions, the center is one of the few remaining treatment locations nationwide that

has a 28-day treatment program. Established over 10 years ago, the facility itself has 27 beds but serves just 12 to 13 patients per year.

It has its own dining facilities, basketball court, weight room and chapel—an environment that allows patients to remain completely isolated during their treatment. Between 20 and 40 full-time employees work at Oakleigh.

But over the last five years, Oakleigh has been losing money, something that only compounds Durham Regional’s multimillion dollar deficit. “It’s almost impossible to find any insurance company that will pay for [a 28-day program],” Brady said. “We have a building and program set up to do long-term treatment, and what we’re doing is short-term detoxification.”

Brady said that if Oakleigh were shut down, the program would be transferred to the hospital itself, where patients could acSee OAKLEIGH on page 7

Barak accepts role of defense chief Israel’s prime minister will serve on Prime Minister-elect Sharon’s cabinet

By DEBORAH SONTAG

New York Times News Service

JERUSALEM Ehud Barak, the caretaker prime minister, conditionally agreed Thursday night to serve as defense minister under Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon, the right-wing leader who crushed him at the polls last week, Israeli news reports said.

According to a terse statement from his office, Barak also tentatively agreed to bring his Labor Party into a national unity government with Sharon’s Likud Party. This would be a victory for Sharon’s determined bid to forge a stable government.

“I believed always, and I believe now, that Israel needs unity,” Sharon said before entering a three-hour meeting with Barak in Tel Aviv. “That will enable us to reach security and peace.”

The agreement between the two men, who presented themselves as ideological opposites during a heated campaign, is conditional on a final coalition agreement and the endorsement of both parties.

But it appeared Thursday night to be as good as a done deal, with only “the bridging of small gaps on minor issues” remaining, according to the statement.

By next week, then, Sharon, once considered unelectable to Israel’s

top office, could be sworn in at the helm of a broad, consensus governmerit. And if Thursday night’s agreement stands, Sharon is likely to be flanked by two Laborites, Barak as defense minister and Shimon Peres as foreign minister.

Nine days ago, after suffering a 25-point election loss to Sharon, Barak announced that he was resigning as Labor leader, quitting his parliament seat and taking a break from politics. But that break lasted only until Peres, a rival, stepped in as party elder to lead the negotiations for a unity government with Sharon’s Likud.

Before long, Barak took over the negotiations.

Democrats propose $750 billion tax cut

By ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON Congress’ top Democrats announced their party’s budget priorities Thursday, including a tax cut less than half the size of President George W. Bush’s $1.6 trillion, 10-year plan.

As they did, Republican leaders downplayed the defections of the first two GOP senators, a pair of New England moderates who said they could not back Bush’s proposal because it would be too costly. With the Senate’s 50-50 partisan balance and just one Democrat so far voicing support for the plan—Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia—every senator’s vote may be crucial to the fate of the tax plan, the heart of Bush’s economic program.

“I’ve got a lot of work to do,” Bush told reporters before meeting with GOP members of the House and Senate budget committees. “But I’m convinced that when the American people hear our plan, they will support it. And I think we’ve got a very good chance of

getting the tax package through.”

“This is not the beginning of any crack” in Republican support, said Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., who predicted eventual passage of tax cuts “in the range” of $1.6 trillion.

The dissenting Republicans were Sens. James Jeffords of Vermont and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island.

“I’d like to see a few more years go by with a good economy before I could embrace such a large tax cut,” Chafee told a reporter.

Modems dwindle, West gains substance-free dorm

ISPs gain ground

By DEBO ADERBIGBE The Chronicle

� OIT looks for viable solutions as the dialup modems deteriorate and off-campus students complain that commercial internet service providers are too expensive.

By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle

The ethemet connections found in all University housing are fast and reliable, but for those who choose to live off campus, simple tasks like checking e-mail and shopping online can be time-consuming and expensive.

Although the University has a free dial-up service that off-campus residents may use free of charge, problems with its modem pool have led many off campus residents to choose DSL or cable modems as their primary form of Internet use.

Currently, four of the hardware devices (terminal servers) that support the modem pool have stopped working. Each terminal server supports 32 modems and currently there are three working terminal servers for the express modem pool—which allows users online for 15 minutes—and one server for the extended pool, which allots users four hours.

Ginny Cake, director of customer support for the Office of Information and Technology, said OIT cannot predict when the other terminal servers will stop working, nor can they guarantee the life cycle of the modem pool..

Two years ago, the University made the decision not to upgrade or replace the current modem pools that are technologically outdated because the maintenance cost was too substantial and because commercial Internet Service Providers could provide faster and more reliable connections.

“Many users have taken advantage of these alternative dial-up services and other faster offerings such as DSL from Verizon and BellSouth and broadband options such as Roadrunner from Time Warner,” Cake wrote in an e-mail.

But, while these high speed Internet services are fast and efficient, residents must pay for them out-ofpocket. Several different options are available in the Durham area right now. Verizon Wireless offers a DSL line for $36.95 per month and an introductory package that includes a free modem, free self-instalSee

MODEM on page 5 �

Two years ago, the Office of Student Development designated Epworth Dormitory as a substancefree dormitory. Now, OSD has announced that a new substancefree living group, Chatham, will allow students seeking such housing to enjoy it on West Campus.

The new group, which will have room for 15 females and 15 males, will be located in a portion of the Old House CC dorm. Now in its second year on East, substance-free housing was placed in Aycock Dormitory.

Students have been supportive of the concept, said Bill Burig, Assistant Dean of Housing Assignments.

“All of the feedback from what we have had so far is positive,” he said.

Priority for space in the group will be given to rising juniors who lived in last year’s substance-free Epworth and current residents of substance-free Aycock.

As a result, residents currently living in Old House CC will receive priority in the overall housing selection process.

Students living in substance-free housing must sign a contract stating they will never enter the dorm at any time under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Burig said the housing option was a good idea. “We should always try to be supportive ofstudents who choose this living style,” he said.

The idea of a substance-free dorm was introduced several years back by the Campus Social Board, who initially wanted the housing on West Campus. Housing Management decided to put it on East so that the idea could be phased in and accepted first.

Last year, 350 rising freshmen applied for substance-free housing, and 87 of those applicants were granted housing in Aycock. Most

OLD HOUSE CC DORM will house a new substance-free living group, Chatham, which will ask its 30 residents to be alcohol- and drug-free in the dorm. students said they did not regret their decision. “It's nice to have a clean dorm all the time,” says freshman Vivian Yeoh. “We don't have people coming into our dorm sick, and we like it that way.”

Fellow Aycock resident Shuping Koh plans to apply for a room in Chatham. “If anything, I would more pick the dorm for it's location, and our priority,” she said.

“But the substance-free aspect is yet another positive one.”

Currently, two West Campus dorms—Camelot and Nottingham—are smoke-free.

Substance-free living groups are a good option, said K. Leigh Hamm, a resident advisor at Nottingham and graduate student in

the Divinity School. “A lot of our residents get disappointed when beer causes sickness in their bathrooms, and the bottles in the hall force them to go elsewhere.

However, the idea limits the types of people you can live with.”

For now, substance-free housing, and its expansion on West, is only one aspect of the current housing discussion, said Burig.

“Currently there is a lot of discussion surrounding West Campus,” he said. “So all plans to create new living groups there are on hold, and we await the results of the trial of the Chatham group.”

Housing officials targeted Old House CC since the dorm has the highest resident turnover rate.

Academic Council endorses final long-range plan

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Provost Peter Lange presented the final draft of the University’s long-range plan to the Academic Council Thursday, restating the plan’s major themes before presenting it to the Board of Trustees next week. Titled “Building on,Excelence,” the document is the result of two years of effort and, pending the Trustees’ approval, will guide University planning for the next five years.

“To be one of the few institutions that helps to define what is best in American higher education, we need to build on our current strengths and improve our weaknesses,” Lange said, To help him accomplish those goals,

the council unanimously endorsed Lange’s plan, the first detailed vision for Duke since the “Shaping our Future” plan of 1994. The new plan will coordinate a total of $727 million in investments over five years, Lange said. It

centers around nine goals that range from developing the faculty to increasing technology use.

This final draft of“Building on Excellence” is very similar to the previous version, although its goals for student life have been more fully developed, “The quality of our student body will grow significantly in five years with recruitment and financial aid,” said Lange, expressing hope that improving student life would have wide-ranging ef-

fects, especially in drawing top faculty.

To improve student life the longrange plan outlines 12 areas for the University to focus on. In addition to recruitment and financial aid, the plan ineludes suggestions for increased diversity, social space, interaction between students and professors, connections between undergraduate and graduate students and increased interaction with the Durham community, *

Medical Center researchers seek to build human artery

By MATT BRUMM The Chronicle

Dr. Laura Niklason envisions a time when patients requiring heart bypass surgery can have new arteries grown in the lab rather than unreliable replacement leg veins.

Niklason, an assistant professor of anesthesiology and biomedical engineering, began making arteries with cow cells six years ago. Since then, she has conducted trials on pig arteries, and plans to tackle human vessels this spring.

“Cow vessels grow wonderfully in the lab,” Niklason said. “We were able to grow vessels that were quite strong—as strong as native arteries.”

Although pig cells can be used to create new arteries, they rupture at somewhat lower pressures, and there is also evidence that they dilate after implanta-

tion in the heart. “It’s back to the drawing board,” Niklason said.

Dr. JeffLawson, an assistant professor of surgery, said blood vessel engineering is rife with unanswered questions, and the production of a functional human artery may not occur for a while.

“It’s the complexity of going to the moon,” Lawson said. “It’s a phenomenally difficult task. It’s very cool, but it’s very complicated.”

The intricate process required to synthesize artificial vessels demonstrates why functional success may be elusive.

Overall, vessel growth takes between six to 10 weeks to complete.

“The [structure used to build an artery] is like the scaffolding on the outside of a building,” Niklason said. “We start putting vascular smooth muscle See

If OIT discontinues the maintenance of its own modem pools—ultimately resulting in their deterioration—many off-campus residents believe the University should provide subsidies to defray the cost of com-

mercial alternatives.

“Duke needs to come up with some sort of broker agreement with a high speed service to make sure students, who need to use the Internet to take and teach class, have access when they are not on campus,” graduate student Jeff Goldman said. “I don’t think it’s a question. You have to have Internet access to be an effective graduate student.”

Most undergraduate students interviewed said the modem pool deterioration does not affect them because they subscribe to commercial services.

Still, Cake said her office is working with administrators University-wide to determine possible solutions to the concerns raised by dial-up users.

As technology advances and Internet-sawy students become more discriminating, OIT is now pressured to provide a high-speed service—comparable to those available privately.

“Most people buy a DSL because after you have used ethemet as an undergraduate you can’t go back to a 56k modem,” said Andrew Miller, a student in the master of engineering management program. “Whatever OIT comes up with is going to have to compete with the other plans out there now. Since DSL has just come on the market, it is pretty affordable right now.”

“I worry about it a lot,” Keohane wrote in an e-mail. “With [Vice President for Student Affairs Janet] Dickerson's departure, Vice President Dickson is the only member of my senior management team who is African American, and things are not much better at the next level—deans, other vice presidents and vice provosts and vice chancellors.”

Keohane said that the University has made progress by increasing the number of finalists for several positions. In

one case, a candidate did not want to relocate his family. In other cases, minority candidates have not been selected in the final round.

She added that on the manager level, several factors contribute to the problem, some of which are out of the University’s control. In particular, there is a relatively small pool of potential senior

managers. “It takes a long time to show the results [of University effortsl at the senior level,” Keohane wrote. “Once or twice recently we have lost out because we could not match the compensation offered to a candidate without completely exploding our compensation structures and thus causing resentment among other employees.”

University officials argue that the lack of senior officials plays a significant role in the lack of lower-level mobility, because it the climate of an institution has everything to do with an employee’s mentality.

“If you know you’re in a place where you see people advancing, where you see that the institution cares for you, where you feel respected, where you see role models of African Americans and Latinos, that’s a full climate,” Dickson said.

“It’s not just one thing.”

Bumess updates council on Durham neighborhood project ACADEMIC COUNCIL from page 4 IN OTHER BUSINESS: John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, updated the council on the progress of the Neighbor>

hood Partnership Initiative.

The program, started in 1996, attempts to build relationships between Duke and 12 neighboring Durham communities.

“Our hope is to improve the quality of life in these neighborhoods, but also to think about the effects of service, particularly on our students,” he said. About

300 students, staff and faculty members currently volunteer in the seven local schools targeted by Duke.

Bumess said that $4.4 million has been raised by

the NPI for Durham. Among its work are projects to encourage home ownership, improve education, increase access to health care and foster interaction between Duke and the city.

“These are folks who need help in order to reach their goals,” Bumess said. “The loss of tobacco and textile companies means we really don’t have a strong corporate presence in the downtown. What that means

in our own community is that people look to Duke [to serve this function!, and we don’t have the revenue and budgets of a corporation ”

Despite that obstacle, faculty members praised the NPI as a successful and ongoing effort—particularly the construction ofTrinity Heights, a group ofhouses off East Campus for Duke staff and faculty members.

“I hope all this might encourage new professors to live in Durham instead of Chapel Hill,” said Professor of Classical Studies Mary Boatwright, who said she has two children attending Durham Public Schools.

Fewer patients come to Oakleigh for 28-day session � OAKLEIGH from page 1 cess any emergency medical services immediately. For patients who are not as medically ill, employees of the facility would simply provide the same services

inside the hospital.

Still, Bill Renn, program director of the University of North Carolina Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program, said some patients need recovery services that are not likely to be provided by a hospital.

“You lose a specialized recovery addictions service.... There’s not going to be [that] kind of early treatment. Mark my words, that’s what’s going to hap-

pen,” Renn said. “It’s about saving money. They’re going to put them in a medical model where they’re going to be medically monitored, but there’s not going to be the substance abuse counseling staff therapy.”

Brady admitted that such a move may have other negative consequences, including less confidentiality.

Ronald Hunsicker, president and CEO of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, said confidentiality is an important issue for patients. “How do you keep some form of life, insofar as activities for these individuals? I think it continues to be a very

important issue,” Hunsicker said. “We may want to believe we have de-stigmatized the disease of addiction, but it doesn’t take long to discover ways in which we still... discriminate against it.”

Renn worries that the potential closing of Oakleigh is a symptom of a larger problem. He said that even if insurance companies provide coverage for lengthy periods of treatment, managed care companies often prevent it. Compounding the problem is the relatively low number of chemical dependency treatment centers in the Triangle.

“It makes it much more difficult Renn said. “There are some people that ”

need longer periods of rehabilitation.

The latest research shows that you need at least 30 days before your brain resumes normal functioning.”

No decisions about Oakleigh have been made yet. Brady said that although the hospital is seriously examining the facility, it is continually reviewing every program.

“I don’t know of anything that’s not being looked into,” he said. “Medicare has so dramatically cut payments to hospitals all across the country. Hospitals are hurting, and they’re looking at all programs to see if they can be more efficient.”

Brodie reminisces on Duke’s physical, cultural changes � BRODIE from page 1 such as S. H. Kress, the Veteran’s Administration and a housing construction company. But he kept coming

back to his Blue Devil roots.

Too hungry for donations

-O

o

Sometimes,

well-intentioned efforts go a bit too far—and the Arts and Sciences development office’s idea to use FOCUS professors to identify students whose parents might donate stepped over the line.

In an e-mail earlier this month, FOCUS professors were asked to come to one of a series of meetings to discuss endowing the FOCUS program. Spurred by a large matching gift donated earlier this semester, development officers originally hoped to circulate a list of FOCUS students from which professors could identify potential donor families based upon their student’s enthusiasm for the program. By the time the meetings rolled around, development officials backed away from distributing an internal list and explicitly asked professors to submit their own lists of enthusiastic potential student-donors.

Like media outlets, universities provide a public service whose administration and operations must remain entirely separate from the institution’s business operations. This separation is there for a reason. For example, even if certain departments boast low class enrollments and offer majors little chance of financial success, it is important that they be taught. But most prized of these principles is that a matriculated student should never be treated differently by the University based on his or her family’s wealth.

Professors have rightly raised the concern that if a teacher knows that Duke is counting on a student’s family for a large gift, it compromises academic integrity. Even if Duke never explicitly or even implicitly pressures the professor to favor the student, there will always be a perceived pressure that demolishes one ofthe most important values in the classroom—trust.

It is one thing to ask faculty to attend fundraisers or to hobnob with potential donors, but faculty should never be asked to single out students for donations.

Development officials themselves could just as easily have called each wealthy FOCUS parent from this year.

Administrators seem to know that this was a bad idea, and it is certainly respectable that the vice provost of undergraduate education, whether or not he was really responsible for the original e-mail and meetings, admitted it was an error.

Senior administrators, especially from the academic side, should meet immediately with development officers to hammer out concrete guidelines for faculty involvement in these efforts. It seems a bit silly that these sorts of ground rules were not drafted at the beginning of the campaign, but they certainly need to be circulated now. It is appalling that such conversations have not already taken place.

Furthermore, administrators should examine the other practices of the development office to see whether other projects may have gone too far.

On the record I helped build the golf course. It was the first job I had—digging up trees, digging up stumps.

Line monitor sets policy for final men’s home games have Undergraduates only two more opportunities to see the men’s basketball team play at home this season: Wednesday night against Georgia Tech and Feb. 27 against Maryland.

Both of these games involve special admissions procedures, so please familiarize yourselves with the rules governing each game.

The Maryland game is a tenting game, with white registration taking place Saturday, Feb. 17, at 9:30 a.m. The Duke Student Government web server has been upgraded to handle the increased density of hits that goes along with white registration. If we do not reach

100 tents Saturday morning,

a new tent can be added to the tenting queue at any tent check before the third per-

sonal check.

The Georgia Tech game will be Senior Day for the undergraduate section. The senior day policy is slightly different than the policies of the past. At 7:45 a.m. on the day of the game, 200 wristbands will be distributed outside of Cameron Indoor Stadium. These bands will be given to undergraduates regardless of class, and these students will receive highest-priority admission to the game. Senior wristbands will be passed out from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Up to

1,200 of these bands will be distributed, and these students will get second priority for admission to the game. A walk-up line will form on the sidewalk north of the Cameron parking lot for those underclassmen who did not get a wristband either. These students will get in after the seniors on a space-available basis. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at line-monitor@duke.edu. I hope to see many of you in line.

Reparations for slavery would damage race relations There as been a great deal written in The Chronicle lately on reparations to African Americans for slavery. The arguments have primarily been about whether or not reparations are deserved. I personally disagree with any attempt to legislate equality of outcome, which is ultimately what reparations come down to. I have enough trouble with the inequality of opportunity provided by programs like affirmative action.

However, I think that ultimately this part of the argument is extraneous. The real question we must face is whether the payment of reparations will improve the

tenuous race relationships that plague this country, a goal that I hope that we will reach. I cannot fathom such a situation. The simple truth is that taking money from those who have worked to earn it—namely whites and giving it to the descendants of slaves, is not going to do anything to make the race relations better. Instead, it would only make them more bitter. Reparations would breed resentment, distrust and dislike.

Ultimately, racism will only be eliminated once individuals accept each other as equal; federal legislation can only bring us so far.

—

I readily admit that there is much, much more that

still needs to be done before

we can claim to have abol-

ished racism and achieved equality. At the same time, we have made great strides in the last decades. Paying reparations would be one of the most effective modes of on these going back improvements. We should be encouraging healthy positive relationships between African Americans and whites, not providing new sources of resentment and antagonism.

Correction In a Feb. 14 column, the opinions of Edward Benson were printed incorrectly.

The fourth to final paragraph should have read: “There are thus numerous precedents in favor of reparations to be paid to the immediate survivors, or even the descendants, of a great wrong by the legal descendants of those who carried out—or simply profited from—the wrong.”

Certainly, 2000 was no 1999. Last year, a dozen films deserved a crack at Best Picture, and it was hard for critics to agree on their top ten lists. Still, 2000 was not such a bad year that Gladiator, Erin Brockovich and Chocolat deserved Best Picture nominations.

Two of these are enjoyable films: Gladiator is like a live action cartoon, and Erin Brockovich is a featherweight drama about saving the environment. If the category were Best Picture with Appeal to the Brainless, these two pedestrian offerings would deserve their nominations. But let's face it Gladiatoris no deeper than 1996's The Rock. The dialogue is campy, there are plot holes large enough to push a doublewide through and Russell Crowe's performance is no more than a series of choreographed grimaces and grunts. It's porn with swords.

That's more than one can say for Chocolat—a movie that almost no critic liked and almost no one saw. Miramax's Weinstein brothers—who already successfully stole Best Picture-Oscars from Fargo and Saving Private Ryan—deserved to finally get their comeuppance this year. But here they are with another undeserved nomination under their belts to recognize Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The acting nominees didn't fare any better. Chocolat hottie Juliette Binoche beat out Nurse Betty's Renee Zellweger, while Jeff Bridges’ wandering performance as the president in The Contender edged out Michael Douglas (Traffic), Morgan Freeman (Nurse Betty) and Bruce Greenwood (Thirteen Days).

In the Best Director category, Michael Almereyda—who exercised smart audacity in his modern Hamlet—and Darren Aronofsky, who took us on a strange trip in Requiem for a Dream were replaced with Stephen Daldry, who gave us The Full Monty Part 111, also known as the middling Billy Elliot.

The critics also offered a double helping of Stephen Soderbergh, nominated both for the hard-hitting Traffic and featherweight Brockovich.

The Academy has a long history of letting the best pictures lose out to crowd-pleasers. In 1976, Rocky beat out Network and Taxi Driver. In 1981, Chariots of Fire edged Reds. The year 1990 saw Dances with Wolves blank Goodfellas. And need we mention Titanic? In fact, the state of American film is strong—but you wouldn't know it from this year's Oscar nominees.

inches with ;s of Terror added dash of id a vicious out't only does it off in high style, it could have been a fave in the days of Pave.

In fact, most of this album recalls the glory of the Pavement days. "Church On White" sizzles as Malkmus drops his science, offering lyrical carrots like, "You will always be too awake to be famous / too white to be saved / but all you ever wanted was everything," as the song strolls up to its wailing guitar solo. The first single, "Discretion Grove," doesn't boldly go anywhere, but it should hold its own at college radio.

The sub-2 minute slasher "Troubble" is the type of idicine the Malkster needs to make it in the rorld, with its defiant guitar skreeing over *y dashes of synth. It's short, sweet and to •tuse point—and it's the type of song that it have been out of bounds in Paveland. And high-pitched squeal that crescendoes in the piano-pounding "Jenny and the Ess-Dog," ;uld even do Axl Rose proud.

Malkmus is also on point with "Pink India," which starts like a loopy cowboy tune before 'old-kickin' it extended jam style. It's such bliss Imost forget that The Jicks aren't the Malkmus iany a "Best of the '9os" list. (For you historians, Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted hit number two on ours.)

Still, Malkmus has misses. "Phantasies" is too fluffy to be taken seriously—its "oh, oh, oh" falsetto chorus would be better left to the Pet Shop Boys. Blues-rocker "The Hook" serves up chunka-chunka Stones riffs that skate dangerously close to Sheryl Crow. Malkmus also tries to have fun with the whispery drifter, "Trojan Curfew," but it ends up going nowhere.

Thus, Stephen Malkmus is a typical solo album story—if you like the guy's old band, you'll probably like the solo effort. You might like the new twists, but you could find that not having a real band backing a guy up means that he occasionally drops the ball.

As for Stephen himself, the son of a gun might be more smug than a librarian with a purple dye job, but we can't help but show him the love.Q

It seems to float, and almost—though not quite—reaches a stylistic level of spaciness best embodied by bands like Blur. But Blur are British, after all, and Death Cab For Cutie are not, which may explain why they stay closer to the stratosphere.

The Kingsbury Manx are

one of the best bands to come out of Chapel Hill in years. Recess Music Editor Robert Kelley attempts to tell the definitive history of the Manx.

By Robert Kelley crp hey're the next big

thing. The Chicago hipsters dig their groove. The music press fawn over their every guitar strum. They're about to British J go on tour with one of the biggest names in indie rock.

And they had to take time off from their temp jobs at the UNC hospital to do it.

Such is life for The Kingsbury Manx, a Chapel Hill band caught success and the vast oblivion of obscurity. With their meteoric rise to international critical acclaim behind them, the band will know within the next few months on which side of that great divide they will fall.

The Kingsbury Manx are Kenneth Stevenson, Bill Taylor, Ryan Richardson and Scott Myers, four recent college graduates living Chapel Hill. All four went to high school in Wilson, North Carolina sleepy town in the eastern part of the state. Each played guitar throughout high school, but never together. When they graduated Stevenson and Taylor headed to UNC-Chapel Hill, while Richardso Myers made the trek south to UNC-Wilmington.

Their college days were filled with music, with the quartet frequently assembling at one of the two schools. However, the jam sessions were purely for pleasure—never once did the band play a coffeehouse or frat party.

But years of playing together and taping on their four-track gave The Kingsbury Manx a wealth of songs—or at least enough to send demo tapes out to record companies. When their record deal on fledgling Overcoat Recordings came through, they were elated.

"We just wanted to make a record," says Taylor. "We didn't expect anything from it."

But those that heard it, loved it Before too long, the Manx were opening for acts like Elliot Smith and touring across Europe. The reviews for their new album were glowing. But what is it about their eponymous debut that vaulted them to quasi-stardom?

To begin with, The Kingsbury Manx manages to exhale the aura of end—the members are thoughtful and sincere, and the record tirely devoid of pretension. The gentle folk songs feature interning guitar parts and soothing organs that lift and embellish the ee-part harmonies. All members play guitar, and they swap truments in the studio. The result is a hypnotic Southadelica jat is at once progressive and nostalgic.

But life has not changed a great deal for the members of the Manx. Their day jobs remind them that they're hardly rock stars yet. "I kinda feel like a superhero," says Myers. "During the day have to go to work, but every once in a while I get to go out parade as a rock and roller."

Tonight at King's in Raleigh, The Kingsbury Manx will commence a nationwide tour that will later see them opening for Stephen Malkmus, the legendary former leader of Pavement. The tour comes on the heels of the completion of the band's second album, tentatively titled Let You Down.

"We're really excited about the new record," says Taylor.

Myers agrees. "The songs are shorter, there are lots of harmonies. It sounds thicker, it sounds better."

And if they win over enough fans with the new record and the upcoming tour, maybe they'll start to feel like rock stars with more regularity. If things don't work out, they'll always have the temp agency. □ !

Low Take It Slow Silence is golden, so the saying goes. Nobody knows this better than Low, the Duluth, Minn, trio playing at the Cat's Cradle next Wednesday night.

Although a lot of modern music tries to cram as much sound as possible into your ears, Low focus as much on the space between notes as they do on the notes themselves. The band takes a gentle, plodding pace in their songs, rarely rising above the speed of a heartbeat. As a result, their haunting music breathes, letting the subtle interplay between the vocals and the instruments rises to the surface. Low's music is fragile and brutal and beautiful ail at once.

The band features the husband and wife team of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, on guitar and percussion respectively, along with Zak Sally on bass and keyboards. But the highlight of the music is surely the gorgeous harmonies from the perfectly matched voices of Sparhawk and Parker.

Hearing them sing, you understand exactly why they are married. Evidence of that intimacy is infused throughout the band's fifth and latest record, Things We Lost in the Fire. It is an album of tension and release, ugliness and grace.

The album expands the band's palette a little, with the regular instruments accompanied by strings, trumpet and xylophone.

Still, the additions never overwhelm the space within the music. The new songs will translate well into live performance, which is sure to make Low's show on Wednesday one of the best local shows of the serhester, —By John Royall

In the wake of Valentine’s Day, Recess says goodbye to gushy romance with a list of films that will separate true love from the chaff.

By Dan Mallory ow, that was when people knew how to be in love," Meg Ryan sighs in Sleepless In Seattle, referencing 1957's saccharine Cary Grant tearjerker An Affair to Remember (itself a remake of 1939's even more lachrymose Love Affair). Plainly, she's right; Tracking firm ConsumerData ranks all three films as top Valentine's rentals this year.

And don't discount the glut of mid-February froth currently playing in theaters; The Wedding Planner, in which Jennifer Lopez relieves an Adonis statue of its penis; Hannibal, with its Beauty-and-the-Beast-on-ch\anX\ vision of romance; and the horror entry Valentine, featuring a crazed slasher and Denise Richards getting nailed—literally—in a hot tub. See, Meg? Romance ain't dead!

For these steelier souls, Recess has collected a cache of less-obvious V-Day candidates —titles which, while certainly straying from the beaten and sweetened path, aren't without their charms.

Each of these films provides at least one line sure to score you points... and, on the off-chance the evening goes awry, we've also included some alternative dialogue samples to bail you out.

Legendary jam masters moe. are taking their act to the Ritz in Raleigh next Friday showcasing their new selfreleased album, Dither. Recess Associate Film Editor Greg Bloom sat down with percussionist and acoustic guitar player Jim Loughlin to talk about how a live band today and what makes a studio album, the music feels to

OK

[Laughs] We figured the best way we could pull it off was to show the movie and actually listen to the CD on headphones as we were playing it, to make sure that it was synced up with the flick. It actually came off really good. We got the opportunity to run through it about twice before we actually did it live and we were a little nervous [laughs], but it came out great the night of the show.

Phish does stuff like that for their live shows, but nothing that ambitious. Do you do other stuff like that onstage?

Well, for the bigger shows like Halloween or New Year's, we try to have a theme and represent that theme either in the stage set or costumes or the set list. The 2000 New Year's Eve, we had this whole Armaggedon theme: We played "Hell's Bells," we were all wearing costumes, and the whole set was designed in flames.

I also heard that you added on a keyboard player [Kirk Juhas].

He's played a lot with us on the Northeast shows, plays in a band called Free Beer and Chicken, and he's a really good friend of ours... awesome keyboard player.

He's on the album, but he doesn't do the big tours with us right now.

You guys are often labeled a "jam" band. What do you think about that?

Yeah, that happens very often. When we first started out, we just looked at it as a Northeast music scene. It stuck with us in the beginning and won't go away.

You don't sound too enthusiastic about it.

Well, it's such an all-encompassing term these days, it's so generic that it doesn't really give you an idea of what a group is about. There are so many kinds of bands out there that are considered jam bands now, it's almost a lost term already because it has been used so much.

It seems as if the new album is trying to distance moe. from that perception It's always been our goal as we go into the studio to use it to the fullest We've known from the beginning that it's extremely difficult to capture the spirit of what we do live in a sterile environment with no audiHe's a great addition to ence.

When you work on something for so long, to hear the music. But there has to be away for the artist to recoup. The aspect that a lot of people don't understand is that when the artist records you become very nearsighted to it and can't really see it till it's done. And an album, they're in debt to the record company. The only way they can now, final with album hearing the we're definitely way happier this product repay that debt is through record sales.

Quebecois folk group La Bottine Souriante make high energy modern music for Francophiles.

By Cary Hughes

rhis

I

past Tuesday night, had the pleasure of seeing La Bottine Souriante perform in Duke's Reynolds Theatre. Those of you who are not Quebecois are probably just as unfamiliar with this renowned Canadian folk band as I was.

La Bottine Souriante, translated The Smiling Boot, came to Duke with the help of The Triangle Music Society, goingbarefoot.inc and the Duke Institute of the Arts. Stephen Barefoot of goingbarefoot.inc was especially instrumental in bringing the group to Duke. He told me that "the energy [the band] produced is utterly unbelievable" and he is absolutely right.

La Bottine Souriante's music is classified as folk, but there are hints of jazz and soul that make it come alive.

The nine-person band consists of brass instruments, a piano, string instruments and drums which all work in unison to produce a unique sound. Throughout the show, the band's music kept the crowd absolutely mesmerized. Not a minute into the performance, one woman in the audience got the entire audience clapping along in unison.

Each of the band members had a special energy and talent that he brought to the stage. Multi-instrumentalist Michel Bordeleau not only played four instruments—not all at the same time, mind you—and sang, but he also is talented in the art of foottapping. Foottapping is tap dancing sitting down, and Monsieur Bordeleau managed to simultaneously play either the drum, mandolin, guitar or the fiddle and sing while doing it. The kind of concentration the man must have to be able to keep two beats at once and sing as well is truly unimaginable.

One particular number, called "The Beggar Song," featured dueling fiddles and foottapping, then a dueling fiddle and mandolin. By the time the sax was added, the entire audience was clapping and bobbing their heads with the beat. If the energy generated by La Bottine Souriante can be measured through the number of yelps or "yee-haws" uttered throughout the performance, then the show was a success. Band member Andre Brunet's flamboyant fiddle antics were responsible for causing most of the response from the audience. He was all over the stage, doing rock star-esque tricks and jumps with his fiddle, and challenging the other members all the while.

One of La Bottine Souriante's best qualities was the variety of their music. From the fiddle to the accordion, these nine men flip traditional folk music on its head and heat it up to make great entertainment.

If you missed the band on Tuesday night, you should consider making a road trip to catch them at their other Carolina shows, either tonight in Morganton at CoMMA or tomorrow night in Wilkesboro at the Walker Center. After that, it's back to Quebec for these Canadian wunderkinds—for a while.

Luckily, they'll be back at Duke on April 12th, playing then in Page Auditorium Be sure not to miss it.D

The Silence of the Lambs sequel not only falls short of its predecessor—it falls flat on its face.

GRADE:

D-

By Dan Mallory

pyj he many insurmountable problems of —3

begin with its

title: Hannibal Lecter is more interesting as a threat than a reality. The Silence of the Lambs, the movie's much-loved prequel, based on another novel of the series by author

Thomas Harris, confined Anthony Hopkins to both jail cell and supporting status for 90 minutes. He stalked his cage like a tiger—but what, we wondered, would happen if the tiger were unleashed?

Nothing of note, as it turns out. Lecter on the loose —in Florence, to be precise—is little other than a pedestrian bogeyman. And in Hannibal, Ridley Scott's appallingly shallow and hazy follow-up, his demonic mystery is dispelled by rote slasher tedium and his overplayed indulgence in effete luxury (garden opera, Renaissance art, parfumeries). Lecter's a snob with a very bad temper.

A temper that's infected FBI agent Clarice Starling, as it happens.

Played here by Julianne Moore, pinch-hitting for Silence of the Lambs star Jodie Foster, Starling's been disgraced by a botched drug raid, and now ranks as the most lethal female agent in the world. That doesn't thrill her boorish superior, Peter Krendler (Ray Liotta, in an unimaginably one-note performance). But when Lecter, identified by the curious Florentine Inspector Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini), stages a very public disembowelment, Starling snaps to attention.

The mutually obsessed beauty and her beast don't share the screen for almost two hours, during which time David Mamet and Steven Zaillian's talky screenplay bludgeons us with yin-yang metaphor. That dynamic was explored more subtly in Lambs, which harnessed Lecter and Starling to an engaging, propulsive plot that characterized them by actions rather than words. Conversely, Hannibal steeps itself in dull monologues that strap the characters to a languid, unfocused philosophical discourse. Moore, in particular, is cruelly underserved: The listless narrative of Hannibal damns her Clarice to professional drudgery and passive victimhood. Julianne can probably relate.

The movie casts about for a plot, but the best it can do is sic various nasties on the doctor—all courtesy of Mason Verger (Gary Oldman), Lecter's only surviving victim and twisted sister, who hopes to feed his

assailant to a menagerie of giant boars. Of these, only the Pazzi character is of interest, maintaining his dignity even as he loses his intestines.

Still, even the novel could not resist facile metaphor: the word pazzi translates as "crazy." wonder if "Harris" means "pretentious."

And whether "Scott" means "hack." A brazenly commercial director who fancies himself an artist, Scott is given to imposing belletristic flourishes on projects which don't need them: With Gladiator, he unsuccessfully attempted to wed MTV kinesis—a hyperreal palette, frenzied fast-forwards—with an old-fashioned swords-and-sandals epic, and concocted last year's ugliest, most bloated drama. Emboldened by that movie's commercial take, he now lards Hannibal with the same baroque visuals and lazy, affected symbolism. Contrast this shiftless, limp movie with the spare force of The Silence ofJhe Lambs: That film found, in its taut editing and clean camera work, a visual focus that complemented its no-frills storyline.

In Scott's defense, not even Lambs director Jonathan Demme could have wrought much from Harris' source material. The author knows how to tap our primal fears: A costume sewn from human skin—the grisly trump card of The Silence of the Lambs— certainly makes for a terrifying sartorial possibility, but mutant boars trained to devour people? Too contrived, too self-consciously bizarre, too ridiculous —too much.

1 watched a lot of this movie through my sleeve, especially the gruesome dinner party scene, in which Lecter spoon-feeds a lobotomized Krendler his own brain. It's not the gore that's gratuitous—it's the scene itself, which does not conclude the plot, since there is no plot, and since the ineptly assembled events preceding it might have led anywhere else. And Liotta's character, for that matter, hasn't impacted the action in the slightest; He's an impossibly crude caricature who spouts chauvinistic dreck even while nibbling on grey matter. The guy is, from scene one, slated for comeuppance—and nothing else. The story has drafted him only to sacrifice him in an unspeakable manner, and that's far sicker than any crime committed by Lecter.

Hannibal is as boring, hollow and slack as its predecessor was bracing, rich and breathless. □

ilverman Probably Not Worth Saving :

tginning there was God, and He created md, who unleashed great classics like ;oline," "Shiloh" and "Solitary Man." •ecame our 20th century God (for Eric is bigger than Jesus). Thus, a movie cenid a Sir Diamond cover band could only right? fire. Saving Silverman, in which Mr. itures prominently, is a warped buddy flick iports the age-old adage that men need to wary of women. Darren Silverman, J.D McNugent and Wayne Le Fessier (Jason Biggs, Jack Black and Steve Zahn, respectively) are old pals who are unlucky in love and rock out in a Neil Diamond tribute band called, appropriately enough, Diamonds in the Rough. Darren meets Judith (Feet) after a concert. She's Yoko to

their Beatles: She controls Darren, forcing him to have butt injections, burn his Diamond albums and drop out of the band. J.D. and Wayne respond by trying to break up the relationship, kidnapping Judith and faking her death. Then they try to set up grieving Darren with his old high school crush Sandy (Amanda Detmer)... who is about to take her vows as a nun! What's a boy to do?

While the movie starts out strong, after thirty minutes the audience wants to be saved also. The female characters are too sexy, and Biggs looks too young next to Black (best known as the Belle and Sebastian basher of High Fidelity) and hilarious-in-a-white-trash-convict way Steve Zahn (who actually played a white trash convict in Happy, Texas). Furthermore, director Dennis Dugan (he of Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore fame) can't decide if he wants to make a biting black comedy a la Fargo or go on an excellent Hoad Trip with Bill and Ted, so Silverman falls short of both marks. Zahn and Black are excellent and funny as always, but the rest of the cast is weak. Still, the tunes can't be faulted, because Neil Diamond is the man.

If you are a Diamond fan, stay home and listen to his albums. Otherwise, it could be worth it to have a few beers and then see this film.

Greenspan’s argument is that the U.S. government, whose domestic spending consists mainly of programs aimed at retirees, should not make the kind of provision for the future that would be legally required of any corporate pension ftmd. If the federal government as a whole is not supposed to own private assets, then the assets accumulated by the Social Security and Medicare trust funds must be matched by equal or larger debts on the part of the rest of the government, so the interest that Greenspan claimed would cushion the burden of supporting the baby boomers would in fact be purely fictitious, a matter of moving money between government accounts. And so the ultimate burden of dealing with an aging population would still fall on future taxpayers, who would have been shortchanged for the sake of a short-run tax cut.

that public entities can buy private assets without politicizing markets.

Greenspan said, correctly, that such solutions are imperfect; but are they worse than a solution that involves requiring the government to stay deeply in debt in order to provide the trust funds with assets to buy?

Greenspan faced a test of character earlier this week. He didn’t have to admit to a mistake; to do the right thing, all he had to do was “clarify” his previous remarks. Yes, the headlines would have said “Greenspan Makes UTurn.” But isn’t it worth accepting some brief personal embarrassment in order to head off a looming policy disaster that you yourself have helped create? Apparently not.

lines—which are passing me by even as I write this column. I have applied to several magazines, but I won’t hear back from them until April. By then, I’ll practically have graduated.

To top it all off, at some point last month, I realized I didn’t know if I wanted to be a journalist for the rest of my life. I could see myself practicing the trade for the next three or so years, and I could see myself writing books at age 50. But there was this huge gap

I used to laugh at the insipid columns The Chronicle always runs this time of year, the ones that feature overeducated Duke students whining that no one will hire them. But I’m not laughing anymore. I not getting have now resigned myself to three facts (drum roll, please): I’m graduating in May, I don’t yet have a job, to my and I’m writing one of those columns about the fact that I don’t have a job yet. it It’s all my own fault, of course. I could have had a job by now if I’d followed up on a single one of the it may pamphlets I picked up at the Career Fair. just a summer Consulting, PR, diplomacy—l could have cashed in on any of those.

But I didn’t. Every job I considered was the equivalent of a one-night stand. Public relations was slick in between, 25 years of my future that I just couldn’t but not honest enough to spend several years with. visualize. I wanted to write; I knew that. But what on Diplomacy seemed glamorous until I realized it earth was I qualified to write about without more entailed stamping passports in Bhutan rather than education?

After several weeks of hand-wringing, webattending parties in Gay Paree. And Andersen (it was still Andersen back then) made my eyes dance searching and neurotic, drawn-out dialogues with and my head spin. But I knew that if I “hooked up” Mom, I decided I’d eventually go back to grad school with a consulting firm, I’d wake up after my two and become a hominid paleontologist. (Not as ranyears feeling a little guilty and not being able to dom as it seems.) And I’d write about it—long, languid articles for Scientific American, op-eds on creexplain why. for The New York Times, tightly packed ationism I had enough journalism experience to snag a hot job at a major newspaper. But I didn’t like the daily textbooks with brilliant illustrations and even more grind, and being rejected by The Washington Post brilliant prose. Who said I had to be a professional didn’t exactly fire me up (no pun intended) either. So writer in order to write?

It’s nice to have the rest of my life figured out, I decided to wait for the February magazine dead-

I’m know “married” first job. I hope will be the beginning of something beautiful, but fling. be

albeit for the 17th time. But this doesn’t help much with the next three years, which I want to spend at a magazine—and not at a grad school. So I’m stuck where I started, with a great long-term plan but no clue as to the short term.

A friend told me last week that her roommate has a similar dilemma. She’s got plenty of job offers, good ones, but she keeps turning them down. Right now her master plan is to go to New York and “see what happens.” She’s afraid of commitment—a player who schedules interviews instead of dates.

I’ve been doing the same thing in advance—l don’t even let it get to the interview stage. I am, to continue the dating analogy, a flirt. And I think I’ve figured out why.

I know I’m not getting “married” to my first job. I hope it will be the beginning of something beautiful, but it may be just a summer fling. Regardless, it will go on my Permanent Record—a concept I never even believed in until now. I am terrible at making decisions, and this is a big one. So I’ve inadvertently avoided the decision altogether by limiting my choices. I am picky, picky, picky. It’s not a smart strategy, but it’s easy.

How do I live with all those missed deadlines, those one-night stands, those unfollowed leads? The same way I’ve learned to deal with wanting anything so badly I can taste it. I’ve convinced myself that in May, I may walk down the aisle committed to The One, the career I’ll have, hold, love and cherish for the rest of my life. But even ifI don’t, I know that someday, my job will come.

In the meantime, I’ll be waiting by the phone, just in case some dreamy employer wants to give me a... ring.

Artifical blood vessels may help hemodialysis patients in the spaces.”

Once an artificial human artery is successfully created—which may not happen for another 10 to 20 years—it can be used for implementation in the heart, obviating the need to remove a vein in the leg for this purpose.

Veins are used generally because there are more spare veins than arteries.

The problem with using veins, however, is that they are not as capable of withstanding the high pressures exerted by blood exiting the heart.

Additionally, removal of leg veins is not a simple procedure. The surgeon must remove a larger segment that will eventually be implanted in the heart because of the vein’s uneven arrangement. “[The vein is] ah uneven, unruly biological structure,” Niklason said. “They

have to cherry-pick good segments, and they take more than they use.”

With artificial vessels, however, not only can the stronger arteries be used instead of veins, but the procedure requires just one to two centimeters of vascular tissue, significantly less tissue than is currently required.

Others who would potentially benefit from artificial blood vessel engineering include those requiring hemodialysis, a process by which the blood is filtered and cleaned using an external machine.

“The hemodialysis population needs medum-caliber blood vessels frequently,” Niklason said.

Although vessels-on-demand will not exist in the immediate future, Lawson said they are on the horizon. “The problems are within the domain of current twentieth century science when you have time, kinetic energy and good people working for you,” Lawson said.

Beard leads second-half rally against Terrapins

By CHRISTINA PETERSEN The Chronicle

not-so-

Maryland 54 new program aired at Cameron Indoor Stadium as the nearly 4,000-strong crowd witnessed what is quickly becoming known as The Alana Beard Show.

ACC rookie of the year front-runner Beard and No. 4 Duke (23-2,11-2 in the ACC) downed Maryland, 75-54, winning the Blue Devils’ first home game since narrowly falling to unranked Florida State last Wednesday, 71-69.

Beard scored 16 points in the second stanza, as Duke came roaring out of the locker room to a 14-3 run in the first three-and-a-half minutes in the second half.

“I was very pleased with our second-half effort,” coach said.

Gail Goestenkors “Offensively we had more of the attack mindset we were lacking in the first half and

gled with Maryland’s 3-2 zone defense throughout the first half, since the guardheavy zone cut off the Blue Devils’ open looks from the top of the key and the elbow.

Also struggling was a flustricken Iciss Tillis, who shot 3-for-6 from the field for eight points, six ofwhich came from treys. Tillis, leading Duke with 6.3 boards per game, only contributed one defensive board, personifying Duke’s 20-11 first-

half rebound deficit.

Both teams were plagued by turnovers, but with 27, Maryland finished with nearly double the Blue Devils’ 14.

Maryland players passed the ball out of bounds unmolestEd five times in the first half, but Duke was unable to capitalize and went into the locker room tied at 26.

REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE Along with her 23 total points and five rebounds, GEORGIA SCHWEITZER accepts a ball commemorating her record for most See TERPS on page 15P* career three-pointers made before last night’s game.

Consistency has been the problem of late. Since blowing away Clemson by 50 points Jan. 28, Duke struggled against lowly Wake Forest and was stunned by Florida State a week ago.

After shredding Georgia Tech Monday, how the Blue Devils would come out last night against the Terrapins was anyone’s guess.

When her team entered the break tied 26-26 after a 34 percent shooting performance, coach Gail Goestenkors found her answer.

“I’m disappointed with our first half effort,” Goestenkors said. “We kind of fell into Maryland’s trap. They played their 32 zone and we took quick shots.”

With starters Iciss Tillis and Sheana Mosch on the bench for most of the opening 20 minutes, the halfcourt offense stumbled.The Terrapins’ zone was able to prevent entry passes into the lane, resulting in a barrage of contested perimeter shots from the Blue Devils’ backcourt.

Duke did force 15 turnovers in the period, but also failed to convert those into fast-break baskets and did not capitalize on Maryland’s missed shots, See COMMENTARY on page 15 �

National Indoors loom large for tennis

By THOMAS STEINBERGER The Chronicle

The men’s and women’s tennis teams face their toughest competition until the NCAA tournament this weekend, as the two Duke squads participate in the National Indoor Championships.

The tournament pits 16 of the top teams in single elimination dual match play. The No. 3 women are playing in Madison, Wise., where they advanced yesterday to the second round with a 7-0 rout over No. 15 Tennessee.

The fifth-ranked men are in Seattle and they also got through the first round with a 4-1 win over 12thranked Pepperdine yesterday afternoon.

The women will put their undefeated record on the line in a tournament where they have finished runnerup two of the past three years, but have never won in the National Indoors’ 13-year history.

“We were inexperienced last year at this tournament,” coach Jamie Ashworth said. “Our seniors were part of that, so hopefully they can take that experience to the team.”

In addition to facing a possible clash with top-ranked Stanford, the Blue Devils have to play on indoor courts, conditions in which they are less comfortable, despite the addition of Sheffield IndoorTennis Center last year.

After the first day of the ACC Championships, Duke is in last place with 38 points. North Carolina, defending champions, led the pack with 247, followed by host Virginia at 210.

Freshman star Ansley Cargill, who recently rose to No. 1 in the country, dropped her first match of the year in an indoor faceoff at Notre Dame. She attributed part of that loss to unfamiliarity with the surface, although Ashworth downplayed the significance of that.

“We’re a better outdoor team, but the other [top teams] are as well,” Ashworth said. “A lot will fall on our seniors’ desire to let people know how much it means to win here.”

Ashworth refers to the fourth-year duo of No. 7 Kathy Sell and Megan Miller. The two have witnessed their team rise to possibly its strongest ever, but Duke still must prove it can topple the three perennial powers who have dominated the sport “Stanford, Florida, Georgia and us are on paper the best four teams in the country,” Ashworth said.

“Georgia’s the defending national champion so until someone knocks them off, they’re the favorite.”

The men came into Seattle off a 4-3 victory at No. 8 Illinois, and go into the weekend undefeated as well.

Coach Jay Lapidus brings three players ranked in the top 15, including senior Ramsey Smith, who captured his 100th career singles victory yesterday after RAMSEY SMITH and Duke are at National Indoors this weekend defeating Pepperdine’s Stefan Suter 5-7, 6-3, 6-3.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

With Mike Dunleavy in foul trouble, Duke learned just how much the sophomore’s interior game has improved. the Red Storm's frontcourt has a lot of experience, it is only ninth in Big East rebounding and proved ineffective last year against Duke at Cameron as the backcourt took off.

U H

More experienced Jason Williams has not played his best recently, but Cook is on fire, scoring 22.5 points per game last week; he is also a four-time Big East rookie of the week. Expect this to be a great matchup.

Cook and Willie Shaw are the team’s top scorers—but this duo is just not Bootsy Thornton and Erick Barkley.

Outside

Chris Duhon had his best game of the season against Virginia, and the Red Storm has two players who contribute more points than starters Kyle Cuffe and Alpha Bangura. St. John’s may be deeper, but Duke has more talent, making depth a non-issue as long as the Blue Devil principles stay out ol foul trouble.

EVEN

St. John’s, which has won only two of its last six, including a 64-53 loss to Providence, is playing at the Garden, where it lost to Duke two years ago in overtime. Duke, meanwhile, will be reeling after a loss in Charlottesville. But the Blue Devils are a big target—don’t doubt that the Red Storm will be raging.

-

OMAR QUINTERO/THE CHRONICLE

With quality wins against Boston College and Connecticut but weird losses to Virginia Tech and Fordham, inconsistency is the rule at St. John’s this year.Yet the Red Storm has provided Mike Krzyzewski’s team with a late-season tournament-quality game in a big venue, a pop quiz of sorts. Two years ago, Duke passed the quiz in overtime. Last year, Duke lost.

This year, Duke passes with flying colors 89-79.

Duke came into its game Wednesday night at Virginia riding a record 24-game ACC road win streak, dating all the way back to 1998. However, the Cavaliers came to play and sent the Blue Devils packing with a 91-89 defeat.The loss gave UNC a comfortable 2-game lead in the ACC standings.

� Logjam in the middle

The middle of the ACC pack is very tightly bunched following Wednesday's play. A pair of upsets, combined with Wake Forest’s payback home win against Georgia Tech, mean that there is a 4-way tie for third in the conference at 6-6. Since only 4 games remain, not much time is left to sort things out. The season’s final two weeks should be interesting, with only two head-to-head matchups between the four teams. Any team wishing to seize the No. 3 seed in the ACC tourney will need to run the table.

� Maryland still reeling from Duke loss—Part Three A common theme ot recent discussions concerning ACC basketball has been the nosedive Maryland has taken since its crushing overtime loss to Duke the night before the Super Bowl.

Another chapter was added to the painful saga Wednesday Night. Florida State entered Cole Field House in College Park with just one ACC win and only six total wins under its belt.

However, someone forgot to tell the Seminoles they were supposed to get crushed, and FSU pulled off the shocking upset, 74-71, leaving Maryland in bad shape for the postseason at just 6-6 in the conference and 15-9 overall.

“We take our lead from Jason, and when we see him not being Jason

Williams, the hesitancy brings us down. When we’re attacking, we’re Lancelot, slaying the monster.”

Duke senior captain Shane Battier, on the point guard’s RECENT STRUGGLES

“Our defense has been as good as necessary since the Duke game.

Defense has to be played with heart and emotion. Hopefully we can get those things back into our game.”

Duke clinches share of ACC season title Terrapins utilize zone to slow Duke >

TERPS from page 13

Beard broke a school record for single-season steals, adding her seven

on the night for a season-tally of 77.

Even though Beard missed four games this season due to a dislocated thumb, the Frierson, La., native ranks 15th in the ACC with 3.5 steals per game.

The freshman broke the 16-yearold mark of 75 formerly held by current assistant coach Joanne Boyle with 16:29 remaining in the second

half. The freshman’s 76th steal capped Duke’s early second-halfrun as Beard stripped a Maryland player and dribbled the length of the court for an easy deuce.

“It’s a great honor and I surpassed a great player and a great record,” Beard said of breaking her assistant coach’s record.

Terrapin starters Deedee Warley and Marche Strickland combined for 31 of Maryland’s 54 points, but their efforts were not

enough to stifle Duke’s second-half exuberance and Beard’s offensive explosion. Rometra Craig also added her usual scrappiness, as the Blue Devil who scored closest to Beard with nine points and six rebounds.

Last night’s matchup with Maryland marked the eighth game Beard has scored 20 or more points this season, and Goestenkors recorded win No. 199 at Duke. The win clinched at least part of the ACC regular-season title as Duke is in first place in the conference with a threegame lead over Florida State (16-8,8-5).

“If we come out focused and intense and play our style of basketball for 40 minutes, we should win every game,” Goestenkors said. “That’s the mentality that I think we should have.”

� COMMENTARY from page 13 as the Terps held a 20-11 edge on the boards going into halftime.

Goestenkors cited both a lack of patience and intensity as reasons for theBlue Devils’ inability to penetrate the zone.

“We’re getting good energy from our seniors, I think they’re great leaders,” she said. “Some of our younger players need to step up a little bit, kiss and Sheana, and really there’s no excuse for it. [kiss] has been sick, but I told her to give two hours of intensity and focus... She got winded very early and I think she mentally gave in to feeling sick.”

Duke’s talent managed to break down the zone in the second half, as Beard helped boost the tempo with her steals.Beard also found her way inside the Maryland defense, scoring multiple times over the

Terps’ larger frontcourt.

“We just looked to attack more,” Beard said.

“They justhad us back on our heels and we attacked with greater intensity [in the second half].”

Beard’s analysis was accurate, but the critical question is why Duke suddenly turned on this intensity. Opening the second-half with a 14-3 run, the Blue Devils played a long stretch of near flawless basketball.

The turnaround was hardly surprising. The Blue Devils have the physical ability to dominate almost every team in the country. Beard is perhaps the best example of this superiority; it was evident in the frustration Maryland coach Chris Weller showed talking about her team’s inability to stop the freshman. “[The only] way to defend her is to get her on the bench [with fouls],” Weller said.

Beard’s second-half performance on both ends of the court seemingly inspired the rest of her team.

But Goestenkors has pointed to the team’s youth as a concern, and emphasized that Duke will have to play better over all 40 minutes if it expects to become a championship team.

ANALYSIS Carisse Moody is one of the premier players in the ACC. She should be able to play close to even with Duke’s super freshman Alana Beard. State, however, has no answer to Iciss Tillis, Duke’s monster post presence. Additionally, Rochelle Parent will help give Duke an edge on the glass with her tough rebounding game.

Outside Bench

Tynesha Lewis is a good scorer, but neither of State s guards can hold a candle to Duke’s starters. Georgia Schweitzer is closing out one of the most storied careers in the history of Duke women’s basketball.

Sheana Mosch has kept her scoring average up even now that Beard has returned from injury.

Duke is eight deep, with Rometra Craig and Michele Matyasovsky contributing regularly, and Krista Gingrich beginning to break into the rotation. N.C. State, on the other hand, is deeper; all 12 players on the roster average over 10 minutes per game. The most notable sub is Amy Grant, who averages 8.0 points per game.
