No. 31 headed to rafters, history

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Before Shane Battier ever stepped

foot on Duke’s campus, his name was

tossed about as the one who would fill

the shoes of the recently departed Grant Hill. After tomorrow night, those two names will forever be linked, one next to the other, when Battier’s No. 31 jersey is placed in Cameron’s rafters alongside Hill’s No. 33.

For the first time since Feb. 27, 1994, when President Nan Keohane and Hill hoisted his jerseyto legendary status, the Duke basketball program will honor another one of its current greats by retiring his number. The formal announcement came this afternoon, less than 24 hours after Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski notified his players of the impending ceremony.

“He’s a tremendous representative of the Duke student body,” athletic director Joe Alieva said. “It was an easy decision to make. We reached it between myself, Coach K and [Keohane]. He’s an excellent player.”

Keohane will officially present Battier with his glass-framed uniform about 20 minutes prior to the 7:05 p.m. tip-off of tomorrow night’s nationally televised game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Battier’s parents have flown into town from Birmingham, Mich., for tomorrow night’s dedication.

“It is a tremendous honor for me to join such an elite group of players,” said Battier, who becomes the 10th person in See BATTIER on page 14 �

Merits of SAT become hot topic

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle A recent statement by the University of California system president that UC schools should no longer require their undergraduate applicants to take the SATs has sparked a nationwide debate. Duke administrators say they do not plan a formal response to the idea but that potential changes in admissions criteria may already address it.

“I think at Duke we’ve tried to balance [using the SAT] with concern about other issues,” said William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences. “Particularly if we’re able to modify some of our admissions criteria, we’ve already moved in the right direction.” Chafe heads a committee that is likely to recommend the addition of intellectual engagement as a criterion for admission to Duke.

In a speech to the American Council on Education, UC President Richard Atkinson said the SAT I does not accurately measure an applicant’s knowledge of her high school curriculum. He said further that students spend too much time preparing for the test.

“The president felt that the SAT I wasn’t the best indicator for how students are going to college or how deserving they are to be granted admission,” said Abby Leunardini, a media See SAT on page <None> �

Career FBI agent charged with spying for Moscow

By DAVID JOHNSTON

New York Times News Service

A senior FBI agent who WASHINGTON worked as a counterintelligence supervisor at the agency’s headquarters was charged Tuesday as a spy who passed highly classified information to Russia for 15 years without being detected. Law enforcement officials described the case as an extremely grave breach of national security.

Robert Hanssen, who is 56, was accused of turning over to Moscow a huge array of secrets, including the identities of three Russian agents who had been secretly recruited to spy for the United States. Two of the Russians were subsequently tried and executed, the third was imprisoned and later released.

In return, FBI officials, said, the Russians paid Hanssen a total of $1.4 million. The money was paid in cash, often stacks of $lOO bills, delivered in plastic trash bags to clandestine drop-off sites in suburban Virginia, the officials said. Other payments, they said, were made in untraceable diamonds and deposits into a bank account that the Russians told Hanssen they had opened for him in Moscow.

The FBI director, Louis Freeh, suggested that Hanssen succeeded in eluding detection for as long as he did because he used his intimate knowledge of the FBl’s counterintelligence techniques and spent hours at his office computer entering his name into

classified FBI databanks to determine whether he had fallen under suspicion.

Barak changes mind, quits politics The outgoing Israeli prime minister declined the position of defense minister

By DEBORAH SONTAG

New York Times News Service

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak quit politics early today for the second time since he lost in national elections two weeks ago. He resigned as Labor Party chair in the face of bitter internal opposition, quit his Parliament seat and declined Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon’s invitation to be defense minister.

In a disgruntled letter to Sharon, Barak wrote, “I have decided not to enter a government of national unity as defense minister or in any other role, and I indeed plan on leaving, for a certain amount of time, my diplomatic JERUSALEM

and political activities as I originally pledged to do.”

Barak accused Sharon in the letter, which was distributed by Barak’s office, of giving him less than wholehearted backing during a politically tumultuous week.

The decision by Barak, who con-

tinues as interim prime minister until Sharon forms his govern-

could strengthen the chances of a unity government’s being formed, because Barak had personally become an obstacle to such a deal.

But in the volatile environment in Israel, the tentative agreement between Labor and Likud to share power under Sharon could still col-

ment,

lapse because of ideological differences or other reasons.

Sharon has pushed hard for a unity government. Without the Labor Party, he would be left with a

right-wing coalition that would be less stable and internally combustible, and with just a razor-thin majority in the unruly Parliament.

But fed up by the arguments in the Labor Party, Likud officials gave Labor until Monday to make up its collective mind.

“I hope the Labor Party will approve the unity government, and we can progress quickly,” said Mayor Ehud Olmert of Jerusalem, a Likud negotiator, Tuesday. “But if See

Napster offers $1 billion settlement

By RON HARRIS Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO Napster Inc. offered $1 billion to the recording industry Tuesday to settle a copyright infringement lawsuit that threatens to shut down the free Internet song-swapping service.

Under the proposal, $l5O million would be paid annually for the first five years to Sony, Warner, BMG, EMI and Universal, with $5O million allotted annually for independent labels.

“We all ought to sit down and settle this case as fast as we can,” Napster chief executive Hank Bany said.

“We’re saying this is something consumers really want. Let’s do something to keep it going.”

However, an industry group instead urged Napster

.

to accept a federal injunction ordering it to block copyrighted music from its service.

‘This path would be more productive than trying to engage in business negotiations through the media,” said Hilary Rosen, president of the Recording Industry

Association of America.

The offer was announced a week after a federal appeals court said the music industry almost certainly will win its lawsuit against the pioneering digital entertainment company.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Napster to stop millions of users from swapping copyrighted music without charge and with-

out restriction.

Duke adds Pauly, The Loop to add nighttime delivery distance learning

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

As Duke finds more ways to integrate technology into its teaching philosophy, the University continues to explore Duke’s role in the distance-learning market. With successes in the School of Nursing and the Fuqua School of Business, officials are trying to expand online learning throughout the University.

As a part of the University’s strategic plan, the School of Nursing will create a Center for Distance Learning, and the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences will launch two programs modeled after Fuqua’s successful Global Executive MBA program. Each of these programs will combine a brief, yet intensive, campus experience with an extended online curriculum.

“This is a unique opportunity to reach out to a unique student body,” said Nicholas School Dean Norm

Christensen, who will head the NSOEES distance-learning program after he steps down in June.

“We want a program with a strong, applicable, international approach.”

With the creation of these programs, administrators are keenly aware of the potential impact online degrees could have upon campus-based degrees, but Christensen stressed that the online degrees are not designed to achieve the same goals.

“We are moving forward and we’re very careful that we don’t have a negative impact on our cur-

rent undergraduate, professional and doctoral degrees,” he said. “But See DISTANCE

By MEGGIE SRAMEK The Chronicle On the heels of significant delivery success by Grace’s Cafe, two other oncampus franchisees—Pauly Konstanzer of Pauly Dogs and Dave Sanford of The Loop—are looking to tap into the latenight delivery market. While Konstanzer will invent Pauly’s Steaks and Subs for this service and is nearly ready to begin, The Loop will offer its standard fare once it settles on more details.

Pauly’s Steaks and Subs’ featured

item, which Konstanzer will start deliv-

ering as soon as he can gather enough staff and gain approval from Dining Services, will be Philly cheesesteaks.

“My cheesesteaks are going to be the real thing, just like you get up North,” Konstanzer said. “Pm having rolls shipped in from Philadelphia. Everything’s going to be the real thing.”

At least for now, Pauly’s Steaks and Subs will be available on a deliveryonly basis, because Konstanzer’s current cart does not have the flat grill he needs to prepare cheesesteaks. Chris Sullivan, co-owner of Alpine Bagels and Brews, will let Konstanzer use his kitchen after Alpine closes.

Konstanzer will deliver on points, using Meridian, a new on-campus delivery service. “I think it’s going to go off like a firecracker. I want to be pre-

pared,” he said.

For starters, Konstanzer said, being on campus will help him quickly respond to demand. “Pm hoping my delivery times will be the best around since we’re on campus,” he said. “I would love to have a delivery time of 20 to 30 minutes instead of an hour.”

Delivery will run from 7 p.m. to midnight, and if he can find enough late-night workers, Konstanzer hopes to deliver after midnight on weekends, since his peak sales of Pauly Dogs come between 2 and 4 a.m. Saturday.

Meanwhile, The Loop is not as far along in its plans—Sanford is in the midst of investigating his options for a late-night Thursday, Friday and Saturday delivery service.

Drug mix may prevent HIV spread Small star found orbiting a black hole

•

A newly renovated and enlarged telescope is providing Cambridge. Mass., astronomers with frontrow seats to a very rare cosmic event—the process of a normal star being destroyed in the gravitational maelstrom of a black hole. The scientists are particularly excited about the stellar object's proximity to the solar system which will give them an exceptionally clear view of the action. They also hope that further research and data obtained from this cosmic cataclysm will shed light on what happens to matter on the brink of a black hole.

Psychologists say inkblot test is flawed

Since its creation 80 years ago, the Rorschach, also known as the inkblot test, has played a controversial but important role in personality assessments.

Psychologists at Emory University furthered the debate by proving that the test overpathologizes patients at alarming rates. In one portion of the study, the test classified 16 percent of a random population sample as schizophrenic—far higher than the 1 percent incidence usually reported by other studies.

Blood test could determine obesity risk

Having already developed a test that determines whether a lab rat will grow obese if exposed to the rodent equivalent of limitless hamburgers and potato chips, scientists at Rockefeller University are now applying their findings to humans. In the process, they are finding out that the underlying machinery of weight gain in humans is quite similar to the one they encountered in rats. The researchers believe that excess fat in one’s diet triggers weight gain by activating one of the body’s ancient mechanisms retention of energy through storing as much of the newly acquired fat as possible.

A SHOT OF PEP TREATMENT may help ward off HIV. The controversial antiretroviral “cocktail” can also be taken orally.

A computer science professor at Harvard University has found away to send coded messages that cannot be deciphered, even, he says, by an all-powerful enemy with unlimited computing power.

If he is right, his code may be the first that is both practical and provably secure. While there are commercially available coding systems that seem very hard to break, no one can prove that they cannot be cracked, mathematicians say.

In essence, the researcher Michael ,D student - "Van Zong Rabin, and hi® Bing, have discovered away to make a code based on a key that vanishes even

cannot be broken.

“This is the first provably unbreakable code that is really efficient,” Rabin said. “We have proved that the adversary is helpless.”

The code uses a stream of random numbers that are plugged into the key for encoding and decoding. Those numbers are never stored in a computer’s memorv ,sn they vanish as the message is being encrypted and decrypted.

In a sense, say some mathematicians

and computer scientists, Rabin may have solved the ultimate problem in cryptography, one that has driven research for centuries: finding a provably unbreakable code that is also practical.

But, they say, the paradox is that the discovery has come at a time ofvigorous debate over whether such a code will make much difference in keeping communications private.

Some say that a provably unbreakable code could have profound effects, keeping secret messages secret forever.

Duke consolidates summer mailing to incoming students

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

For many future first-year students, a typical summer day in the months prior to arriving at Duke includes sifting feverishly through the mail, looking for large envelopes with a Durham, N.C., return address printed in the top left corner.

In the past, these envelopes—whether from the Office of the Registrar or the marching band—arrived on an almost weekly basis, and provided reassurance for students that the University really was expecting them in late August.

However, beginning this summer with the class- of 2005, first-year students will receive only four mailings in the months prior to orientation, as the University attempts to consolidate the process.

“We hope to make the mailings much more efficient and effective,” said Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services and chair of the task force that was set up to facilitate the changes. “We have made enormqus progress in a short period of time.”

The mailing task force, formed in January, devised basic principles by which the mailings would be grouped, Ruderman said. After admitted students

have sent in their deposits, the University will mail them an academic packet that will include, among other items, information on Curriculum 2000 and the FOCUS program.

In early May, the first student life mailing will go

Besides the consolidation, the mailings will also have a new design that is more attractive and com-

The school is also experimenting with the creation of a second program focusing specifically on North American environmental issues, but planning for that program will be delayed until details regarding GELP is complete.

The Nicholas School’s initiative follows after the School of Business and the nursing school launched their own successful distance learning initiatives.

Duke launched the Global Executive program in 1995. Since then, the program has operated as one of the first credible programs in the nation to offer a degree online.

The School of Nursing has offered an online master’s degree for nurse practitioners since 1997. The school targets nurse practitioners from rural areas of North Carolina who will remain in their community to provide health care. Like the GEMBA, students receive lectures and exercises online, but travel to Durham to complete lab work. Nursing School officials are currently planning a Center for Distance Learning within the school; the center will provide support for instructional technology.

� DISTANCE LEARNING from page 3 you must remember, this is not intended to serve as an alternative to our degrees. They are specially designed degrees to meet special needs.”

Provost Peter Lange said he has been encouraging schools to develop these types of programs and that the Nicholas School’s new Global Environmental Leadership Program will meet a great demand among professionals who do not have time to return to school.

“There is a substantial group in the corporate and nonprofit sector that is anxious to acquire new skills as a part of their environmental science and policy work,” Lange said. “And many in this group are individuals who may not be able to acquire these skills otherwise.”

Christensen hopes to launch the program, which will combine elements of ecology, environmental sciences and law, in the fall of 2002 or spring of 2003.

Classes of about 25 will meet four times a year for one week in places such as Costa Rica, Tokyo, Venice and a location in the southwestern United States most likely Las Vegas or Tucson, Ariz.

Barak seen as obstacle in creating unity government >

that will be delayed beyond next Monday, then another government will be formed.”

The Labor Party central committee plans to meet Monday anyway to vote on the issue. Until then, with Barak out of the picture, Labor officials will have to review a platform agreement with Sharon and renegotiate the distribution of senior ministries. Labor officials are widely expected to protest strongly Sharon’s plan to include far-right parties in the government.

In the last week, Sharon, sensing that Barak was becoming an obstacle, had let it be known that the unity government was more important than the departing prime minister. He sent the clearest signal on that when his advisers hinted that Shimon Peres, who was to have become foreign minister in a unity government, would also make a good defense minister. Al-

Napster will appeal if offer not accepted NAPSTER from page 2

Napster, whose lawyers have said such action would be virtually impossible, has vowed to appeal.

Napster has argued it is not to blame for how subscribers use copyrighted material, citing a 1984 case in which the Supreme Court refused to hold VCR manufacturers and videotape retailers liable for people copying movies.

But the appeals court said no such protection extends to Napster because the company knew users were swapping copyrighted songs. The panel also said there was evidence of “massive, unauthorized downloading and uploading of plaintiffs’ copyrighted works—as many as 10,000 files per second by defendant’s own admission.”

Napster’s popularity exploded in 1999 after founder Shawn Fanning released software that made it easy for personal computer users to locate and trade songs stored as computer files in the MP3 format, which compresses digital recordings without sacrificing quality.

The five largest record labels sued as soon as Napster took off, saying it could rob them ofbillions of dollars in profits.

Napster did reach an agreement with Bertelsmann Inc., the parent company of the BMG music unit. The German media giant has promised much-needed capital ifNapster switches to a subscription-based service that pays artists’ royalties.

though known better as a diplomat and peacemaker, Peres has previously been defense chief.

That is what angered Barak, who suggested in his letter to Sharon that the prime minister-elect had undermined him. “A cursory glance at the headlines of the last few days indicates your attitude toward working together,” Barak wrote. ‘Tour preference for the identity of the defense minister to remain open seriously harmed the trust between us and does not allow me to accept the job.”

After he lost the election for prime minister Feb. 6, Barak unexpectedly announced on election night that he was going to take a timeout from politics. But in a week, he was taking charge of the coalition negotiations with Sharon and forging an agreement on behalf ofhis party.

Barak said he was obligated by a sense of national duty to ignore his personal desire for a break and to ac-

cept Sharon’s invitation to be defense minister. He clearly did not anticipate that his change of heart would produce the sense of outrage that it indeed did.

In the Labor Party, senior officials from Barak’s cabinet joined forces with ranking lawmakers to protest his decision. Passionate newspaper editorials and columns contended that Barak, known for his zigzags as a leader, was making one about-face too many. And there were calls from the center, left and right for him to take the breather that he had promised, with passionate assertions that he should accept that he had lost his mandate.

Tuesday, several senior Labor members met in the large office of Speaker Avraham Burg, a contender to take over the Labor Party as chair. The politicians decided to oppose Barak as defense minister and to present a list of alternative candidates for ministerial posts that did not include him.

The Chronicle Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

The SAT and Prop. 209 In addition to dropping the SAT from entrance requirements, the University of California system should campaign to reverse the errors of ending affirmative action in admissions

The

days of the Scholastic Aptitude Test may be numbered, especially after the University of California system president advocated dropping the test from admissions criteria.

The UC administrator who proposed this measure is really trying to address a larger problem with the UC system—the declining number ofminorities who are admitted to the top UC schools. In 1996, a ballot initiative called Proposition 209 barred the use of racial preferences in admissions throughout the state ofCalifornia. Now there are just a handful ofminority students at both UC-Los Angeles and UC-Berkeley.

Ideally, the residents of California would take the necessary steps to overturn the ill-thought-out decision that was Proposition 209. Instead, they are attempting to rectify the process through other means.

The SAT test, like any standardized examination, is not perfect.

Furthermore, it discriminates against students who come from poorer school districts and cannot afford to take SAT preparatory classes.

If all primary and secondary schools were made equal, then the SAT would be a much better yardstick. Unfortunately, all schools are not created equal.

Schools in lower-income districts are greatly disadvantaged.

Eliminating the use of the SAT would be a great symbolic step to show an increased commitment to measuring students holistically—something that the UC schools are not doing well right now.

Currently, the UC system uses a grid that matches grade point average with SAT scores to assign students to a college. By eliminating the SAT, there would be an added emphasis on grades and high school achievement, extra curricular activities and the application essay.

Opponents might argue that measuring students on the merits of their high school grades and not the SAT is contradictory. Certainly, there is a difference in the quality of schools in ritzy Brentwood and urban East Los Angeles, but measuring grades and comparing them to the quality of a student’s application essay should satisfy that concern. Also, there is nothing to stop the UC admissions offices from gathering data and statistics on all the high schools in California. It would be a time- and money-consuming endeavor, but it is time for the UC system to take its admissions more seriously.

The UC system should increase the amount of money it spends on the admissions process so that students are better placed at each UC school. This is the most practical way of combating the deficiency that resulted in the wake of Proposition 209.

However, the UC schools should not have to invest large sums of money in order to provide the diverse, enriching environment that is best for all college students. These changes are merely nickel-anddime solutions that will cost a fortune. It would be simpler and more appropriate to just overturn the mistake of Proposition 209.

There will be a time to end the use of race in admissions, but that Time—when all people have equal opportunities—is a long way off.

Battler’s jersey retirement causes line policy change All undergraduates will have the opportunity to attend a very special basketball game tonight when the program retires senior Shane Battler’s jersey.

Considering the significance of the ceremony and the anticipated demand to witness this, previously published plans for admittance have been scrapped in favor of a policy that ensures fans from all four classes have a reasonable opportunity to attend.

There are five tiers of

wristbands for tonight’s game; distribution began at 7:45 this morning and will continue until all 1,400 are exhausted.

Tiers one, two, four and five are 200 wristbands each and are available to members of all four classes, seniors included.

The third tier is open only to seniors and will include 600 wristbands.

After these wristbands are distributed, we anticipate

squeezing in some students from the walk-in line, so please show up even if you don’t get a band.

I apologize for the lastminute

nature

of

this

announcement, but I feel a shift of focus is critical considering the magnitude of the occasion.

Norm Bradley Pratt ’Ol The writer is head line monitor and senior associate sports editor of The Chronicle.

Senior Day nixing does disservice to loyal fans As seniors, we are extremely upset with this last-second change of the admissions policy regarding Senior Day at tonight’s basketball game. There are three reasons for our anger.

First, the very fact that Shane is a senior gives us all more reason as a senior class to be witness to honoring his career. We’ve been supporting him for four years. Just think, at one point it was possible that we could have been retiring 5, 34 and 42, as well as 31

all tomorrow night. That group of players has split up and gone their separate ways, but the senior students at Duke have remained united in their support ofBattier.

Second, the reason Senior Day exists is to reward the group of fans

who have remained loyal to this team for four years.

Preferential admission to one game is a simple cour-

tesy, granted in exchange for four years of unwavering support.

Third, a lot of seniors who do not normally go to games were expecting to be able to enter this game.

Every other senior class before us had first admittance, so why shouldn’t we?

We are having a hard time

organizing

our

thoughts, because we are that upset over this last-second, poorly decided policy change. Any argument that the senior class is less loud or less enthusiastic than the freshmen or sophomores is garbage. Who do you think came up with “Who’s your

Daddy?— Battier” in the first place? Our class was screwed four years ago with' that six-week University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tenting fiasco where many tents that were guaranteed admission did not get in.

Cameron Indoor Stadium will be rocking tomorrow night, regardless of whether the first few rows of the television-side are filled with seniors or senior citizens. If this game is ofsuch extraordinary importance, at least make the University of Maryland game the Senior Day.

Chris Shoemaker Pratt ’Ol

Christine Young Trinity ’Ol

On the record I hope that every person who has helped me in the past four years can take pride in that banner. It is as much for all those who have been part of my great experience at Duke as it is for me.

Senior Shane Battier, commenting on the decision to retire his jersey during Wednesday’s game against Georgia Tech, (see story, page one)

SUMMER PROGRAMS

DECISION MAKING TIPS

CAMPS AT DUKE

Life

involves many choices where decisions have to be made. Skills in good decision-making are tools that can help you make the best choices available to you. Skillful decision-makers enjoy the feeling of self-confidence that comes from knowing how to make good choices. The following steps can help you learn how to make decisions and implement a plan of action.

Duke University sponsors a selection of summer programs and camps designed to support and enhance the academic, fine arts and athletic abilities of our youth.

Below is a listing of the summer programs and camps for 2001.

Academic (Youth)

Constructing Your College Experience Open to high school juniors & seniors Action Science Camp Open to young women Computer Explorations Open to ages 8-11 Creative Writers’ Workshop Open to high school junior and seniors Young Writers’ Camp Contact Summer Youth Programs for the above offerings

Isolate the Problem

•

Sometimes tilings aren't what they seem, so evaluate the problem or issue from all angles, including the opposite of the way it appears. Avoid looking at the symptoms and try to get to the heart of the matter itself. You might find yourself defining the problem a number of different ways before you settle on what feels right.

•

•

Decide to Take Action

•

Once you have identified the problem, ask yourself if you need to take action right away. (By the way, you’re making a decision by answering “yes” or “no” to that question.) Sometimes the best decision may be to do nothing. However, don’t confuse making a choice to do nothing with the delay or avoidance of an uncomfortable situation.

-

•

The ideal situation is to be able to get all the facts before you take action or to consult with an expert on the problem or issue But sometimes that’s not possible. You should gather as many resources as you can before you must take action, but don’t delay making a necessary decision solely because you don’t have time to track down every single fact.

A comprehensive list of community classes, camps, and summer programs, “Summer Options 2001,” is scheduled to be published mid-March as a supplement to the Herald-Sun Newspaper.

Developing a plan of action is another way of saying “making a decision.” Once U ave anal7 zed problem or issue, looked at it from many different sides anC* cons dered your options, decide how you will carry out your decision *

'

Test the Plan Sometimes it may be impossible to anticipate the outcome of a particular decision, so decision-making involves a certain amount of risk. You can, however, test your plan by visualizing the potential outcome of the decision. Don’t be afraid to rely on your intuition. If your decision doesn’t feel right to you, it probably isn’t.

Take Action Doing decision-making exercises is not the same as making decisions. So now that you have made a decision, you might want to implement that decision. The background work you’ve done will help you know that you’re doing the right thing for you and you’ll be able to maintain your confidence as you put your plan into action.

Commentary

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2001

PAGE 9

The quiet police By not reporting crimes fully and immediately, Durham officers endanger students and citizens Beyond the wall Michael Peterson How safe are you in Durham? Very.

Chances are small that you will be a crime victim. Of course, chances increase significantly if you wander into certain areas of this city, but you have no business in those places! You don’t need hookers and crack—there’s enough sex and drugs on campus.

There’s risk of getting mugged if you walk back from Ninth Street or Brightleaf Square late at night, but common sense tells you that the buddy system and a gun should protect you.

Nevertheless, your best protection is information: If there has been a rash of crimes in a certain area, you can take precautions—you can avoid that area!

However, if you’re not told about the danger but instead are given a pair of rose-colored glasses to wander through that area, you’re at serious risk.

Unfortunately, rose-colored glasses are what our police and the city want you to wear. It’s a policy so shortsighted and dangerous that I can’t believe responsible people perpetrate it.

The Chronicle reports all campus crimes almost daily. This is good. It keeps you informed of dangers and risks.

I wish you and Durham citizens were similarly informed of crimes in our city, but the police department wants us kept in the dark. They do not want us to know the extent of crime, and they fudge statistics to keep the crime rate artificially low. For instance, if 10 cars are vandalized in a student parking lot, the police

report just one crime, even though there are 10 victims and the perpetrators would be charged with 10 crimes.

The best way to demonstrate the statistical doctoring is to note that while murders in Durham doubled last year, according to police, violent crime was down significantly. How stupid do they think we are?

It would be easy to release crime reports daily—most cities do—but Durham doesn’t. Our police release only a portion of the crimes, and here’s how they do it: In this day of computers and the Internet, with the ability to disseminate information almost instantly, Durham police toss illegible, handwritten reports in huge piles in the “media room” at police headquarters. The purpose is to make it impossible to get an accurate picture of crime.

To further obfuscate the picture, police don’t release reports on crimes that occur Friday through Sunday until the following Monday, so you can’t read about them until Tuesday. Four days go by before we find out about crimes.

Why? What is the purpose of withholding this information? Who benefits?

Not you! By keeping you uninformed, the police raise your risks. The only people who benefit are criminals, whose activity goes unreported, and the police, because if we don’t know about crime, we think they’re doing a good job, despite the lowest clearance rate of any police department in the state.

When information is withheld, we should be leery about what is being

covered her son’s grades had been raised to a passing 70 percent so he could play football. Believing this a disservice to her son, she complained.

The grade change was denied and abuse was heaped on the mother.

However, after an investigation, it turned out not only had the grade been changed, it wasn’t an isolated case. Two hundred sixty-nine other students received passing grades even though

might find that you like the rosy vision they offer. You’ll start believing anything—like downtown development, 5,000-seat theaters and the need for tax increases.

Then you will find yourself seriously mugged.

Finally, to clarify about cult classic movies— Trash, Pink Flamingoes, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, etc.—that I mentioned in a previous column: While I graduated in 1965, I returned to the University in 1971 for several years to learn all those things I missed the first time around. Those movies were quite the thing then, except Cheech and Chong, which came later, but who can

they actually failed!

Why? Because it looked bad to have so many students fail! Rather than admit a problem, school officials wanted people to believe students were passing.

The kids might not learn anything, but the officials looked good. remember those days clearly? Surely What is served by such deception? not Cheech and Chong. Anyway, glad to Who benefits? Not students, and cerhave someone keeping tabs. tainly not society.

So what’s the lesson? Don’t put on Michael Peterson, Trinity ’65, is a rose-colored glasses! If you do, you Durham resident.

Cornering Saddam Foreign affairs Thomas Friedman Wouldn’t it be interesting if Secretary of State Colin Powell sent the following memo to President Bush?

Dear Mr. President: I’m glad you decided to bomb Iraq to re-establish our deterrence there, but we shouldn’t let these fireworks fool us into believing that we have a sustainable Iraq policy. We do not.

Right now we’re getting the worst of all worlds we’re being blamed and isolated in the Arab world for something that we’re not even succeeding at doing—either toppling Saddam or inspecting his weapons facilities.

It’s time for a radical new approach. We need to remember that while getting rid of Saddam is our preference, rendering him harmless to his neighbors—in away that does not isolate us in the region—is our strategic interest.

I’m off soon to the Middle East and I would like your permission to explore a whole new approach to Iraq. I would declare the following: The United States is ready to resume full diplomatic relations with Iraq and to lift economic sanctions, under three —

conditions.

First, that all United Nations weapons inspections in Iraq will be resumed —but with a twist. All the weapons inspectors will be from the United States and the United States alone —no Russians, no French, no Indians, nobody else.

Our strategic interest is to ensure that Iraq cannot develop and is not developing weapons of mass destruction, and we will not entrust anyone else with

that mission. We have to do it ourselves, and we have to do it as long as is necessary to ensure that Iraq remains free of nuclear weapons and delivery systems.

So we’re offering U.S. relations for U.S. inspections.

Second, Iraq and the U.N. would have to agree to a ban on all sales of major weapons and dual-use items to Iraq, with the U.S. again free to use its inspectors to ensure compliance.

Third, Saddam would have to continue abiding by limitations on his troop movements, either north or south, and if he violates any of these conditions, the sanctions and bombing will resume. If he agrees, Iraq will be welcomed back into the family ofnations.

In sum Mr. President this approach would make clear to everyone that your foreign policy isn’t just a clone of your fathers ,

,

....

What are the advantages of this approach? To begin, we put the onus on Saddam instead of on ourselves. The message to the Iraqi people and to the all of the Arab nations is that the U.S. is not out to get rid of an Arab leader, however evil, it is not out to starve the Iraqi people, and it is not out to isolate Iraq forever.

It is out to guarantee that Iraq cannot threaten its neighbors or global stability, and if Iraq meets that test, it can end its isolation and even have relations with America, which is what the Iraqis really want.

Moreover, we put the onus on our Arab allies.

They will no longer be able to escape bringing pressure on Yasser Arafat, or escape cooperating on peace

by hiding behind the excuse that because we’re always bombing Iraq, their publics won’t let them work with us on Israel. Right now our Arab allies are drifting away from us and Israel and toward Iraq.

This policy would create a magnet to pull Iraq toward our Arab friends and Israel, something Ariel Sharon would love.

Finally, nothing, Mr. President, and I mean nothing, could change the strategic landscape in the Mideast more than bringing Iraq back into the equation, with diplomatic relations with the United States.

The hard-liners in Iran would be terrified and more isolated than ever. Syria would be much more willing to cooperate with us. And the Russians and the French would go nuts because they want the sanctions on Iraq to just crumble, and for Iraq to continue having no relations with us, so their oil companies and exporters will have Iraq all to themselves.

In sum, Mr. President, this approach would make clear to everyone that your foreign policy isn’t just a clone of your father’s —but that it will be hard-headed, imaginative and capable of overcoming the contradictions in our Middle East policies that have plagued us for a decade.

If Saddam accepts this proposal, it will give us the best means possible to control Iraq’s military capabilities. And if Saddam rejects this proposal, it would give us the best reason possible for further isolating him instead of ourselves.

Sure, some of your advisers will tell you it makes us look weak, but no one is going to accuse an administration with me, Dick Cheney and a president named Bush of being weak on Iraq. And even if anyone does, we still have time to blame it all on Bill Clinton.

Looking forward to your reaction, Colin Thomas Friedman’s column is syndicated by The New York Times News Service.

At Duke, admissions officials say SAT scores are never the reason a student is or is not accepted. “There are students who have a 1600 we won’t take and students who have a 1200 who we will,” said Christoph Guttentag, director of under-

graduate admissions. “If the only appealing part of an application are the SAT scores, that will not compel us to take a student. If there’s a student in every other respect we really want to admit,

and their SAT scores are modest, that won’t keep us from admitting a student.”

In addition, Guttentag echoed Anci’s concerns about socioeconomic inequity. In the past, the SAT has been criticized for racial and gender bias in its written form.

But Caperton saidhis company tries to address issues of inequity but that inequity is present throughout the educational system. “It is urgent that we focus our energy on raising standards for everyone, rather than on eliminating tools that help reveal unequal educational opportunities,” he said.

Hewitt reinvigorates Tech in Ist year

elected editor by sports staff

By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle

There were two ways to look at Georgia Tech entering the season. On one hand, the Yellow Jackets returned their senior center Alvin Jones, who led the conference in blocked shots and finished fifth in rebounding a year ago. Two quality freshmen in Marvin Lewis and Ralston Lane, veteran point guard Tony Akins and an up-and-coming new coach gave Tech the ingredients for a break-out year.

Then there’s the other hand. The team was unsuccessful last year (13-17, 5-11 in the ACC) and that was with second-team All-ACC selection Jason Collier, who graduated and became the first-round pick of the Milwaukee Bucks. Of all the players that would be returning, only three averaged over five points per game the previous season, and only Jones averaged over four rebounds.

As if to verify that the next few years would be labeled as “rebuilding,” Bobby Cremins picked last season as his swan song. The third-winningest coach in conference history, Cremins had been coaching Georgia Tech since before his recruits were bom. Cremins was replaced by Paul Hewitt, who had only three years of experience coaching at a school known by few.

Almost everyone outside Atlanta subscribed to the latter, more pessimistic description. The ACC media picked Georgia Tech to finish eighth, between Clemson and last-place Florida State. Even Georgia Tech administrators were hesitant to predict great things for this year’s team. In the press conference announcing Hewitt’s hiring, both Tech president Wayne Clough and athletic director Dave Braine did not mention any hopes for success.

But Hewitt had different ideas.

“The winning percentage that we had at Siena shows we know something about the game,” Hewitt said,referring to his only previous coaching experience. “I’m not downplaying the expectations, I expect to win next year.

Dave and Dr. Clough have asked me to downplay them a little bit, but we’re trying to win next year.”

Hewitt didn’t take long to follow through on his statement. Victories in December over UCLA and Kentucky hinted that this team was better than expected. Back-to-back wins over Virginia and Wake See HEWITT on page 14 �

Saperstein, has served as an associate sports editor since last summer and has covered Duke athletics for The Chronicle since his freshman year. He pledged to work with the staff on improving its writing, upgrading its graphical and layout design, forming better lines of communication between staff members and guaranteeing that The Chronicle is the prime authority on all Duke sports.

Duke finishes 10th in first spring men’s golf tourney

By ANDREW GREENFIELD The Chronicle

Only one tournament is in the books and the men’s golfteam can already draw parallels to its terrific fall season, but it is not necessarily a good one.

The Blue Devils started the spring season in the same fashion they started the fall season—a lOth-place finish. But if the men’s golf team learned anything from its fall season the lesson is “it doesn’t matter how you start, but how you finish”.

After placing 10th, fifth and sixth in its first three fall tournaments, Duke

rebounded to notch second- and firstplace finishes in its last two.

“This is only the first tournament of the season,” coach Rod Myers said. “We are just getting started. We have to get our games in shape so they peak in April and May.”

Baseball to face ECU The Blue Devil baseball :eam, fresh off its series win against Georgetown last weekend, returns to action todav at 3 p.m, at Jack Coombs Stadium against East Carolina.

While it might seem that Duke had a terrible tournament and fell way below expectations, it really was not that bad.

Duke got off to a good start shooting a team score of 290,2-over par.

Then the unthinkable happened.

The Blue Devils had one of their worst rounds of the year, shooting a secondround total of 303, 15-over par, a score that left them in 11thplace and with little hope of cracking the top five.

“I thought we were a little more ready than we showed,” Myers said. “We had two good rounds of solid golf and one round that we just didn’t play well at all.”

The tournament was won by Florida with a three-round total of 849, 15under par. Individual honors were captured by defending champion David Bennett ofNorth Florida with a score of 10-under par.

“He hit the ball very well,” Myers said.

One of the biggest surprises of the tournament was the play of Duke’s most “He just wasn’t making any putts. He consistent golfer, Matt Krauss. The junior knows he should have shot much lower was never able to get in any kind of than he did.”

If any player typified Duke’s team perrhythm and had his worst outing of the formance, it was senior Kevin Streelman. year, finishing in a tie for 54th.

“He never seemed to get in a groove,” The senior shot a first-round 71 followed Myers said. “He never felt good about his by a second-round 78 and a final-round ball-striking and was never able to get his 69. Streelman’s second round was hurt by putter going. On top of all that, he had a big numbers, which included him making few bad breaks that turned a possibly nine on a hole.

Senior Paul Tucker shot three solid decent round into a high score.

“For us to be successful, we can’t have rounds of 75-74-75 to finish in a tie for him shooting 80. I’m sure Matt will be 48th, but Myers expects Tucker and the rest of the team to take some positives back to his old self soon enough.” from this performance and improve with The Blue Devils were led by sophomore Leif Olson, who fired rounds of 72- every tournament.

“It was just one bad round. We will 72-71 to finish tied for 15th at one-under par. But Olson was not satisfied with his learn from our poor decisions and just performance for he felt he could have shrug it off,” Myers said. “It is too early in the season to worry about our play.” scored better then he did.

In their last meeting in Atlanta, Alvin Jones got into early foul trouble and the Yellow Jackets were embarrassed.

has lost to Georgia Tech. And to think that even the athletic director did not believe Hewitt could produce a winner this year.

“We’re bringing in a good guy here,” Braine said. “A lot ofpeople don’t know much about Siena and the Northeast, but I think in a couple of years that you will realize that we made an excellent choice.”

A couple of years? If Siena was any indication, the positive results will be immediate. The Saints were 22-59 in the three years before Hewitt, 66-27 in three years with him.

“The thing that has made us successful is our efforts in the area of player development,” Hewitt said. “I heard Pete Newell speak, and he thinks the game today is over-coached and undertaught. I think if you watch us play, you will see a team that is not over-coached but is very well taught.

“When you play a high-scoring, fastpaced style, situations come up that your players need to know how to react to. You can’t stop and call every play and diagram every cut.”

What separates this coach from his colleagues is his philosophy on how to improve a team.

“If given the choice, I would take individual practice time over a team practice every time,” Hewitt said.

“We’re going to spend a lot of time helping a player improve. As long as a player is improving, his confidence will go up, and then the team’s confidence will go up and the team will play better.”

Hewitt says that all he asks of his team is to play hard all the time.

Early results were encouraging, but Hewitt knew his team bought into the new system during its first game against Maryland.

The Yellow Jackets played well in the first half, but ran into Maryland’s best first-half performance ofthe season and were down 19 at halftime. While this would break most teams, Georgia Tech came out even harder in the second half, cutting the lead to six before falling.

“I called Dave [Braine] after the game, and told him, ‘Finally we’re starting to get it,’” Hewitt said.

Although Hewitt was referring to something else, he could have been referring to a possible NCAA berth, which the school has not received since 1996..Even the athletic director that hired it him did not think it was possible.

On Oct. 21, 1996, Battier ended mounting speculation and became the first player in what would become the nation’s top-rated recruiting class to verbally commit to Duke. In high school, he led his teammates at Detroit Country Day to three straight state championships; when Battier proved influential in convincing Chris Burgess, Brand and William Avery to follow him to Durham, many Blue Devil fans assumed Battier would accomplish the same sort of feat at Duke.

Before he knew it, however, the first to

No. 31 —Caldbeck?—flies in for jersey retirement In an office somewhere in Washington, D.C., Justin Caldbeck is smiling.

Today should be just another day for the 24-year-old, sitting at his desk at McKinsey Consulting, doing whatever it is that a consultant does.

But today is not just another day.

Today he finds himself assuming his place in history. Today, his No. 31 will be lifted to the rafters in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The only thing is, there is going to be someone else’s name above the number, some kid named Battier. And if you ask Caldbeck, he couldn’t be happier.

“I think it’s kind of wild,” he said.

“[Battier] is definitely someone who has earned it.”

Caldbeck walked onto the Duke basketball team during his sophomore year, before the 1996-97 season. He saw only 21 minutes of action all year, scoring six points and pulling down three rebounds. But there he was, playing for Duke, and wearing No. 31.

Like several other Duke players, basketball wasn’t the only aspect of life for Caldbeck, who participated in the Twentieth Century America FOCUS program during his freshman year. Just as J.D. Simpson spent a summer studying drama in London and Matt Christensen took time away

doing religious work, Caldbeck spent his junior year in England at the

London School of Economics.

He played basketball for his new school in London and saw considerably more playing time, averaging 25 points per game and leading his team to the league championship. After returning to

Upon further review

Evan Davis Duke for his senior year, he again walked onto the team. Except one thing had changed: Some kid from Birmingham, Mich,, had taken his number.

“We both interned together at Morgan Stanley after I returned from England, after [Battler’s] freshman year,” Caldbeck said. “I think he offered it back to me, but really it was more something to joke about.

“Honestly, I didn’t really have that much influence.”

Caldbeck was happy wearing No. 3 his senior season, one in which the Vermont native saw action in 20 regular-season games. He left Durham with an Economics degree and settled in Arlington, Va., assuming that his days of association with Duke basketball rested solely in his little brother, Ryan, who was also a walk-on for Krzyzewski’s squad.

That is, until today.

Caldbeck will be in town next week for Senior Night to see Ryan play his final game at Cameron. But when he does, he’ll see a number quite familiar to him hanging high above his head.

Caldbeck agrees that few Blue Devils have deserved the honor more. He cites not Battier’s athletic ability, but rather his more intangible contributions to the team as the senior’s greatest strengths.

“[Battier] is an awesome leader,” Caldbeck said. “In terms of people our age, he’s the best leader I’ve ever met.... There are [many] people with just as much athletic talent who wouldn’t do as much as him. He’s a phenomenal person.”

Such credentials seem almost necessary to have a jersey hoisted to the rafters these days. Winning awards and ACC titles no longer suffice as sufficient reasons to achieve such an honor. Case in point: Elton Brand.

Then only a sophomore, Brand was clearly the nation’s best player during Caldbeck’s senior season. He won every major player-of-the-year award, led the team in scoring and took the Blue Devils to the NCAA finals. Caldbeck

thought that Brand’s on-the-court achievements were deserving of the ultimate honor, but Duke felt otherwise, as Brand left school two years shy of graduating to become a Chicago Bull.

Even though his jersey wasn’t retired officially, it seemed like no one would wear it. It seemed as though Brand defined the No. 42 and that nobody would want to put it on only two years after he left Duke. But Reggie Love proved us all wrong.

How about Trajan Langdon? A fan favorite, Langdon was not only a national-player-of-the-year finalist, he was a math and history double major.

He was twice named winner of the Dr. Deryl Hart award, given annually to the basketball team’s outstanding student-athlete. Langdon graduated in 1999, and less than two years later the Cleveland Cavalier can see his No. 21

on television with the name “Duhon” above it.

But Battier is something different.

Yes, he is a national player-of-the-year candidate. Yes, he is a smart kid too.

He is as multi-faceted as any player could possibly be, becoming only the fourth player in the nation to ever record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 200 steals, 200 assists and 200 blocks. He is in line for his third consecutive national-defensive player-of-the-year award. Battier does it all.

He is one of 10 finalists for the Sullivan award, given each year to the nation’s top amateur athlete. The award is based on “leadership, character, sportsmanship and the ideals of amateurism.” That’s Shane Battier in eight words.

And that’s why Cameron Crazies

are going to get a treat tonight. They will get to watch Battier receive the honor that he so richly deserves.

Battier isn’t likely to wind up doing

consulting work anytime soon; NBA will commissioner David Stern undoubtedly be announcing his name during the league’s draft this spring.

That is not something that will be happening for Justin Caldbeck any time soon.

But Caldbeck is more than content with his past experiences with Duke basketball, his present experiences with McKinsey Consulting and his future legacy as the second-to-last Blue Devil to ever wear No. 31.

“It’s not the most popular trivia question,” Caldbeck admits. “But I’m the answer.”
