Five candidates Lee attacks misguided media hope for top job

By MATT BRUMM The Chronicle

Most DSG presidential hopefuls are focusing on financial aid, parking, space and residential life, but other issues—alcohol, course evaluations and DSG’s role —are coming into play.

Two-year legislator and chief of DSG’s internal audit Vik Devisetty and Internet start-up guru David. Cummings, also a legislator, have tried their hands at DSG executive elections before. Devil’s Delivery Service CEO and Upperclass Residential Life Review Committee member C.J. Walsh is running as the outside candidate.

Wearing an orange-striped cap, Spike Lee emerged onto the stage of the Reynolds Theater to the roar of thunderous applause and a standing ovation before he spoke his first word. It would be the first of many excited audience reactions for Lee as he proceeded to castigate mainstream media for excluding and misrepresenting black Americans for over a hundred years.

Lee spoke before a crowd of more than 600 in the packed theater, describing how the powerful influences of television and film “have been used [in the past] to debase African Americans” as “subhumans.”

The director of several films including Malcolm X, Summer of Sam and Do the Right Thing, Lee said the international influence of the United States is derived not from its superior military might, but from its enormous film and television resources.

“It’s very important to realize the power of images,” he said.

“The reason why the United States ofAmerica has become the most powerful country in the his-

tory of civilization is Coca-Cola, Nike... television and music. That

Duke squeaks out Senior Night victory over Tar Heels

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

72 After every practice, having just finished off a series of sprints UNC 67 and an overall exhausting workout, Duke’s players saunter over to the sidelines and grab a drink of water or a bag of ice to help quell their aching muscles. But not Alana Beard.

When Duke coach Gail Goestenkors blows a whistle on practice, Beard walks over to the freethrow line and begins her own routine. Last night against the visiting Tar Heels (14-13, 7-9 in the ACC), Beard’s extra practice paid off in a big way for No. 4 Duke (25-3,13-3), which closed out its fourth straight 20-win season with a 7267 triumph on senior night and Goestenkors’ 38th birthday.

With her team down by two points and 13.7 seconds remaining in the game, North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell called timeout in order to ice Beard, who was about to shoot perhaps the biggest one-and-one of her career. As coolly as she does after every practice, Beard buried her free throws and the Tar Heels’ NCAA tournament hopes along with them, barring a surprise run through the ACC tournament by seventhseeded North Carolina.

“I was calm; I was in that situation once before this season,” said Beard, who was named national freshman of the year yesterday by Sports Illustrated for Women. “Nothing can put pressure on you in that situation except yourself. It’s just mental.”

Although her 77.8 free-throw percentage, second among Duke’s regulars, speaks for itself, there were more reasons than Beard’s season-long consistency at the charity stripe for all 8,257 fans in attendance to have faith in Duke’s forward.

“She’s one of those players that thrive on that

type of situation,” Goestenkors said ofBeard. “We have several people like that on the team, which

makes you comfortable as a coach. I think everybody on the team felt like she would put those two free throws down.”

After UNC guard Coretta Brown drove the length of the court to again close the gap to two points, the Tar Heels quickly called another timeout with 7.4 seconds left. During the break, Goestenkors scrapped the initial play she intended to run and opted for one that was slightly more familiar, or at least it should have been.

Hatchell saw the exact same play nearly a year ago, but her players fell for it hook-line-andsinker as if Goestenkors had just invented it during the timeout.

Early last March, the Blue Devils secured their first ever ACC tournament championship by eliminating the Tar Heels, who bit too hard on an inbound play with 12 seconds left. Team captain Lauren Rice took the ball and hurled it down the court to a streaking Georgia Schweitzer, who hauled in the baseball pass and buried UNC by assisting a game-breaking basket that capped Duke’s three-point victory in the tournament finals.

Bush to address Congress, nation tonight

By SUE KIRCHOFF and ANNE KORNBLUT The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON In his first major address to the nation, President George W. Bush mil try to convince the public tonight that the projected budget surplus is large enough to afford a major tax cut, increase domestic spending, protect Social Security and still have about $1 trillion left in reserve.

But the budget Bush plans to outline in bold strokes to a joint session of Congress may raise as many questions as it answers. Even his strongest Republican supporters say the Bush plan will have to undergo major changes.

The speech, which Bush hinted will be briefer than major addresses by his predecessors, marks the begin-

ning of a long and potentially treacherous stretch for the new president: turning his campaign generalities into law with hard dollars to back them up.

Bush has been reluctant to release specifics on his spending plans—Monday he said he would not do so in his speech, or even in releasing the budget blueprint Tuesday. When asked whether he planned to name specific budget targets, the president replied, “No.” The president has a panoply of promises on the table: A $1.6 trillion tax cut, shoring up Medicare and Social Security, increasing funding for education and the Pentagon and finishing a five-year drive to double the budget for the National Institutes of Health.

The administration also pledges to attack the $3.4 trillion federal debt.

GPSC considers mentoring ideas

By JENNIFER WLACH The Chronicle

This week’s Graduate and Professional Student Council meeting covered everything from international mentoring programs and the upcoming elections to the ever-present issue of parking.

The meeting opened with an announcement from GPSC Vice President Ryan Opel regarding the establishment of a graduate student-faculty roundtable. Opel, a second-year graduate student in law and psychology, explained that the intention of the group is to “bring together the various presidents of student government organizations to provide network knowledge.”

Opel was followed by committee reports from Ombudsperson Tomalei Vess and Attorney General Carol Chancey. Both women discussed the university’s attempts to rectify the parking problem. Vess said the current parking situation will worsen with anticipated building extensions on the Divinity School scheduled to start within the next two years.

Vess continued with a review of the University Schedule Committee’s attempts to lengthen the reading period for undergraduates. Vess explained that “a proposal was created giving undergraduate students a third reading period in the middle of exams week.” She added that the committee endorsed this plan because it does not add to the time allotted for exam week or cut into the semester.

Maria Park, Commencement Speaker Committee representative, again requested nominations for a guest speaker for the 2002 commencement ceremony. Park said the committee wanted to “avoid political figures, as that is all Duke students see at undergraduate commencement ceremonies.”

The meeting continued with guest speaker Jessica Anduiza, a program assistant at the International House. Anduiza asked GPSC for feedback on the possible creation of a mentoring program for international graduate students. The group seemed to support the idea of a group mentoring program, while GPSC President Cybelle McFadden proposed the combination of several forms of mentoring.

Opel followed with an announcement of the upcoming Gradhoops, a charity basketball tournament to be held in Cameron Indoor Stadium. McFadden closed with requests for nominations for GPSC elections, scheduled for March 19.

RANIA MASRI (right) and Simon Harak explain why they defy U.S. sanctions against Iraq and bring contraband such as toys, medicine and pencils to Iraqi children. Masri, a United Nations representative, says more than 500,000 children have died because of the sanctions.

Speakers make plea for Iraqi people film segments of the dying people and destroyed landscapes and narrating the images with powerful stories from his visits.

The group he travels with, Voices in the Wilderness, formed about five years ago “in open defiance of the sanctions.” They bring sanctioned materials like toys, medicine and pencils to Iraqi children, an act to which the United States government has responded with threats offines and prison sentences.

“If I were to fly planes over Iraq and drop bombs, I would be a hero,” he said. “But when I bring toys and medicine, 1 get threatened.... I would hope that after hearing this that at least one student from this room will join me in my next trip.” . In contrast to Harak’s emotional appeal, Masri gave arguments about every part of the issue, from whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction to the media’s distribution of “disinformation.” She stressed that Saddam Hussein is not the same as Iraq and that the sanctions are hurting real people.

“The media tells us that Iraq equals Saddam equals weapons of mass destruction,” Masri said. “What it

The Remembering Omran Bus Tour stopped at Duke last night to present its case for lifting sanctions against Iraq. The two-hour talk, led by speakers Rania Masri, a United Nations representative from the Arab Women’s Solidarity Association, and Simon Harak, a Jesuit priest, introduced HIWAR, a new Duke organization focused on political and social injustice in the Middle East and North Africa.

Freshman Yousuf Al-Bulushi, co-founder of HIWAR, hoped the organization’s first event would inform students about both the club and the issues regarding U.S.-Iraq relations. “People don’t know the influence our government has in that part of the world,” Al-Bulushi said. “It’s important for students to be informed.”

As part of their three-day speaking tour at the Triangle’s universities and churches, Masri and Harak took turns alternating between logical and emotional appeal, making no attempt to conceal that they hoped to persuade the 50-person audience. Harak, who is also a former ethics professor, petitioned the audience to join him on the group’s next trip to Iraq, showing

Meet the candidates: Five juniors jockey for position The Chronicle

The Duke Student Government presidential candidates’ experiences vary from DSG vice presidencies to board positions on clubs and independent student corporations. In their three years here, each of these junior men has enjoyed his share of successes and failures.

Jimmy Carter Junior Jimmy Carter is hoping that Thursday’s vote will put him in similar company with his more famous -namesake. Currently DSG’s chief of staff, Carter was charged last fall with making the cabinet a significant part of DSG. A hodgepodge of different officeholders with varied backgrounds, the cabinet was spurred by Carter to attend legislative sessions and complete individual projects.

Jimmy Carter The self-proclaimed perfectionist has at times this year put perfection in front of cabinet productivity, becoming too aggressive and unforgiving with cabinet members.

At other times, though, he has managed to inspire a handful of the 25 president-appointed officials to complete projects ranging from a Krzyzewskiville community service project to an elections guidebook.

As a freshman, the star legislator had his eyes set on the vice presidency for facilities and athletics, but lost by 11.6 points. Through the campaign, though, he earned general praise from his DSG colleagues and ran on a platform promoting his then-legislator project—often repeated but never successful—of building bus shelters on West and East campuses and pushing the administration toward a long-term parking solution.

Two years later, the latter initiative remains on his platform just as it is still a significant issue for the entire University.

“I see DSG’s role as a lobbyist of the student body,” Carter said. “We owe it, for any student who comes to us with a problem, to at least be willing to educate and talk about the issues.”

Sometimes there are so many ideas that few can actually be implemented. He hopes to combat that tendency by surrounding himself with associates who will keep him focused.

“I hope to have given it 110 percent all the time,” he said. “I would like to leave knowing that I followed through and gave it the best of my ability.”

Space, parking, aid figure prominently in platforms has control over the Von Canon rooms, all auditoriums and many dining areas. In fact, he said, Catotti will soon have control over almost every social space on campus.

be released later this week.

Carter supports creating subsidies for organizations with no assigned West Campus space so they can hold on-campus programs. He would also like to establish a fund to help pay for transportation to off-campus events.

Devisetty would also focus on making social space available to all student groups, but he would do so by making the Devil’s Den cheaper to rent, helping build a deck outside the back of the Tap Room and empowering students in discussions about Bryan Center renovations.

He would also move to raise money to subsidize security costs for groups with no on-campus space.

Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni said the-Devil’s Den bears basic costs that must be paid in order for anyone to use the building. In order to offer the facility free to students, he said, senior administrators would have to offer a funding source.

Walsh believes there is “too much and too little” usable on-campus space. He cites the need to book Von Canon up to a year in advance and the confusion associated with figuring out which department can assign out different spaces. He would propose giving all responsibility for social space assignments to the Event Advising Center and would support a fund for security costs.

But Pietrantoni said most of that is taken care of already. Event Management Director Chuck Catotti now

Parking

Parking enforcement and allocation has spread from

a campus-wide source offrustration to three candidates’ agendas. While Carter and Young agree that Auxiliary Services should open gated lots more often, Young, Carter and David Cummings agree that revenues from tickets and towing should go into a parking fund.

Cummings would target these funds at increasing the number of campus parking spaces or lowering ticket penalties. He would also ask Duke to re-examine its outsourcing of towing services to determine whether a Duke-operated system could be more cost-efficient and whether these savings could be passed on to students.

Young would prefer to use these funds for a long-term parking expansion. More importantly, he sees the primary problem as one of arbitrary enforcement. Some meters, he says, will go unchecked for a semester and then will be checked several days in a row. Young also says he would try to make administrators more sensitive to times when they must allow exceptions to parking rules, like during men’s basketball wristband distribution. He would ask that all lots be opened on weekends.

All three candidates cite using the ticket money to boost parking spaces and to eventually build a parking garage—a $lO,OOO-per-space endeavor the University

will not undertake for several years. And money for new parking solutions, like better lots or increased security, hardly seems to be an issue. This summer, for example, Duke spent $598,000 renovating West Campus lots alone, by repaving them and adding new gates, fences, cameras, monitoring booths and security vehicles, Pietrantoni, who ultimately oversees parking and shares responsibility for enforcement, would not support the ticketing money going to him and Campus Police because the fund goes toward general infrastructure like sidewalk and road repair and to Duke’s lingering needs.

“It would no doubt cause a new revenue stream for the deck to appear,” he said, “but it would take away from the general hind. It’s just a matter of moving money from one bank account to another. I don’t see that Duke gains by it. It would have to be a new source that doesn’t take away from something else.”

Carter would take his request further by lobbying for all gates to be raised after 5 p.m. on weekdays. He would also push for more policing of all lots. But Pietrantoni said that raising the gates on weekends or evenings would tread on the security administrators were trying to create by gating lots. “A large investment was made in the Blue Zone to secure it and add police protection,” Pietrantoni said. “The gates were put down for safety reasons, too. Duke has been reluctant to open them and let anyone come in, because then the fences shouldnt even be there. There would be a loss of security.”

Financial aid Appearing as the number-one priority of both Carter and Cummings and the number-three priority of Devisetty, financial aid was also a major concern for former DSG President Lisa Zeidner, Trinity ’OO. But this twoyear DSG staple has not yet been fully tackled, these candidates say. While Carter would focus on making the financial aid office more accessible, Cummings and Devisetty propose more sweeping reforms. All three agree that the car policy—'which the University will likely make more lenient—needs to be tweaked or eliminated.

PAGE?

Alcohol, residential life are peripheral issues to some � ISSUES from page 6 Carter believes the policy should be removed altogether, even though the University has remained steadfast in its commitment to maintain the policy in some form. He would also like to continue his work on the financial aid guidebook, an all-encompassing resource containing information on everything from how to find loans and grants to how to manage credit and debt. He would continue to push for more accessibility in the office by adding an 800 number, for example.

Cummings thinks the office’s award structure may be inefficient. For example, because students’ financial aid packages are discounted for every outside grant they receive, Cummings believes the University has created a disincentive for students to seek outside scholarships.

Furthermore, he thinks Duke should begin awarding money beyond students’ demonstrated need. He said Princeton University currently awards $3,000 extra.

Cummings thinks that given Duke’s relative financial position, it should give out a bit less than this.

But Director of Undergraduate Financial Aid Jim Belvin said Cummings has his facts wrong and that his proposal is illegal. Federal law, he said, requires that schools not distribute any more money than demonstrated need. Furthermore, as a school that meets 100 percent demonstrated need, Duke is legally required to make a dollar-for-dollar reduction to aid award when a student receives an outside scholarship. Duke already makes outside scholarship money replace the loans and work-study portion of the awards first. “I believe the student does benefit from receiving outside awards,” Belvin said. “Most important is the fact that outside awards re-

duce loan debt at graduation. I believe that lower loan debt at graduation is a very real value.”

Devisetty would commit to following up on DSG’s summer 2000 financial aid report. Although administrators have promised that 95 percent of the report’s recommendations will be implemented, Devisetty would push for the rest. Specifically, he would ask that rather than using the age of undergraduates’ cars, the financial aid office base its award on the cars’ financial value.

But Belvin says that because the blue book—which dictates standard vehicle values—includes both values and years, basing the penalty solely on value could be impossible. “As you can imagine, the values vary based on the year the vehicle was manufactured,” he said. “I am not sure how values could be established without using the year the vehicle was manufactured.”

Residential life Devisetty and Young both identified upperclass residential life as top platform issues, with Devisetty focusing solely on giving students more voice in the development of the new housing assignments plan.

Young has a broader view that tackles both long- and short-term issues. He would encourage the administration to foster an identity for independents over the next few years. He would push for an allocation system like the Main West corridor plan that solidifies independents’ place in a legitimate community. He would also push administrators to set a specific timeline for Central Campus renovations and to keep Trent Dormitory’s swing space allocation sensitive to independents’ needs.

Alcohol

jTjp

Perhaps the most dangerous and lingering issue of student health and culture, alcohol appears as only one candidate’s top platform initiative. Walsh, a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, said administrators need to clean up the amnesty clause by clarifying the circumstances that allow students who have overconsumed alcohol to evade punishment. He said students spend far too much time speculating about the terms of the

amnesty clause rather than helping others.

The alcohol policy, he says, should hold accountable the individuals who put the drink to their lips rather than groups who host parties. As a result, he would encourage students to drink responsibly and would lobby administrators to establish a policy that does not push alcohol off campus. He hopes these changes would bridge the divide between drinkers and nondrinkers.

fi

Course evaluations

Cummings, a member ofDSG’s academic affairs committee, holds student access to course evaluations as a top concern. Faculty have been wary, if not violently re-

sistant, of releasing the information to students, arguing that students could slander professors with unfairly negative reviews. These reviews, they argue, could affect their course enrollments and departmental funding.

Cummings, though, believes that DSG must publish students’ opinions of courses and said that if the faculty is unbending, he will implement an independent course evaluation web site he has already designed.

But even this could run up against legal challenges, as DSG’s connection to Duke could make the University liable for libelous comments.Last year, DSG was stopped from implementing a similar plan for legal reasons.

DSG’s role While Walsh is the only candidate who explicitly prioritizes altering DSG’s mood, Young, Cummings and De-

visetty each push the issue. Walsh says that DSG must be as accountable to the students as his company is to its

shareholders.

As a result, he would push legislators, executives and cabinet members to talk to people face-to-face to solicit feedback and opinions.

For bis part, Young says he would attempt to infuse DSG with the same sense of accountability, especially by using DSG’s constituency e-mail system.

Devisetty, through his work on the audit, would advocate several smaller initiatives toward this goal.

Cummings, though, would take a stronger stance, slashing the size of the organization in order to increase productivity.

By reducing the number of legislators, he said, executives would better be able to manage the work of the whole organization.

Dedication, Experience, and Innovation

Looking at Duke University, I see an incredible college environment rich with history, intellect, and beauty. Our school, while being prestigious, still has much room for improvement. The most necessary changes need to come directly from within the student body and are not easily perceived by the administration. Herein lies the role of Duke Student Government the intermediary between students and administrators. Through DSG, the President has the unique opportunity to bring together a diverse group of people in the pursuit of making Duke a better place. I believe the president should be very visible and active on campus. With open dialogue, clear goals, and strong determination, the President will influence and shape the short term and long term future of Duke.

As president, 1 will bring a variety of talents and assets to the position. With my leadership skills, 1 will motivate and guide team members to make positive changes at Duke. I want to bring the very essence of an entrepreneur passion, vision, motivation, and teamwork to DSG.

These three words describe me, my work at Duke, and will shape my presidency. No candidate is more dedicated to reforming financial aid, providing equitable social space for all student organizations, and restructuring parking on campus. While at Duke, 1 have been a proactive student, participating in DSG as an East Campus Legislator, President Pro Tempore and, most recently as DSG Chief of Staff. In these positions, 1 have played an active role in developing student initiatives, from advocating the construction of bus shelters and kiosks as a freshman to working with DSG Cabinet and executive members on improving DSG student relations. 1 currently serve as co-chair of the DSG Task Force on Financial Aid, working tirelessly to improve resources for students and parents in the financial aid system. As DSG Chief of Staff, I worked diligently on a voter registration initiative, bringing together a multitude of cultural groups in an effort to encourage students to “Rock the Vote”. As president, I will continue to work on expanding student and parent resources to financial aid, including the development of a comprehensive Financial Aid Guidebook. To aid those organizations without affordable access to social space, 1 will push for the institutionalization of subsidies to lower the cost of social space rentals, housekeeping, and security. To address parking issues, I will fight for student access to all parking lots after 5:00 PM weekdays and advocate open access on the weekends. Additionally, 1 will lobby for monies collected from ticketing and towing be set aside to develop long term parking goals. As president, I will work to ensure that fraternities and selective living groups have secured housing on West Campus. I will also work to publicize and revamp various DSG services; establishing standardized hours for Check Gashing, increasing student access to the DSG lawyer, institutionalizing a DSG Student Academic Loan program and improving student utilization features on the DSG web page. Give me the opportunity to fight for you! Elect Jimmy Carter DSG President on Thursday, March Ist! -

Areas I want to target specifically: social space on campus

multi-cultural interaction

As a member of Duke Student Government and Campus Council, I’ve been intricately involved in formulating policies and programming events that directly impacted the lives of nearly every Duke student.

As DSG President, 1 will use my experience, personality, and passion to make the organization more productive, more accountable, and more visible. Most importantly, 1 will pursue issues that are tangible to student needs, relevant to student groups, and important to student life.

One of my priorities will be to keep Duke’s social life on campus. I will advocate an alcohol policy that encourages safe and responsible drinking, rather than a policy that unrealistically tries to rid alcohol from the campus culture. 1 believe programming space like commons rooms should remain available for student organizations and selective living groups to use, but new space must also be constructed or made available. This includes making the Devil’s Den affordable to use, allowing the Armadillo Grill to build a porch outside of the Taproom, and renovating the entire Bryan Center to make it the hub of student life on campus.

1 think it’s a disgrace that the University does not have adequate space for multicultural groups to meet and hold events. The building of a new multicultural center is an important step in facilitating interaction between different student groups and improving diversity at Duke 1 also plan to work with other student groups to devise a swing space plan that is fair and equitable to all parties, develop a better advising system for Curriculum 2000, and continue the work done on financial aid reform.

From lengthening the reading period to bringing the Indigo Girls to Duke, 1 have shown that 1 don’t just promise results, but rather 1 deliver them. On March 1, please vote Vik Devisetty for DSG President.

but I’ve been working for Duke students I’ve never attended a DSG meeting nevertheless.

I am the CEO of Devil’s Delivery Service, INC., spearheading the efforts of over 100 students who bring you George’s, Bull City and Cattleman’s on points.

I’ve been on Campus Council for the last two years: first as Quad Rep and now cochairing the Last Day of Classes concert. Having just signed “Guster,” we’re working on “Run DMC.” I have experience with the Annual Review Committe and I now sit on the Upperclass Residential Life Committee, planning the next Duke upperclass experience.

I’m also a brother of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, but you can see that I’m not your average frat guy.

Yes, I’m the outside candidate. But I bring an efficient and no-nonsense perspective to Duke Student Government. As a businessman and programmer, I enjoy digging into my work.

I’ve worked in many aspects ofDuke life, but my DSG Presidency will be a synthesis of all my issues as the ultimate student liason to the administration.

1 support an alcohol policy that encourages school-wide responsible drinking and clarifies the amnesty clause.

1 support an increase in the availability of and decrease in the cost of social space for nonresidential organizations.

I support separating automobiles from financial-aid concerns.

1 support a parking plan that speeds the discovery of a parking spot.

I support the creation of opportunities for increased faculty-student interaction.

Finally, I support a DSG that runs itself like a business. DDS and I are responsible to our shareholders. DSG is not responsible to its students. That will change in my term as DSG President.

If you seek a dynamic DSG that takes input from the students and brings change from them, I’d appreciate your vote for me, Thursday, March Ist. ...

Experience is perhaps the most important quality in selecting an effective Vice President. The Executive Vice President must insure the smooth operation of DSG and manage all internal issues that may hinder DSG from carrying out its responsibility to the student body. To do this the Executive VP must have a complete understanding of DSG, its rules, its procedures, its members, and its goals. After serving this semester as Executive VP, last year as Vice President for Academic Affairs, and as a legislator, I have the experience and knowledge it takes to he effective as Executive VP.

Next year 1 hope to increase DSG’s interaction with student groups and allow students that are interested in particular issues to participate in DSG’s discussions and decisions. While most students don t have the time to serve on DSG full-time, DSG should allow students to participate on issues they are interested in.

Similarly, I want to include representatives from major groups on the Legislature, so the Legislature can be a more representative body and consider the issues affecting these groups on campus. Additionally, 1 will form committees to study the issues of alcohol policy, financial aid, annual review, programming space, and other major issues facing students at Duke.

The Executive Vice President is the number two officer in DSG who is often responsible for the day-today operation of DSG. An ineffective Executive VP usually means chaos for the organization, so it is vitally important the officer have extensive DSG experience to make sure DSG operates smoothly. The student body and its representatives have elected me several times to positions that ideally prepare me to be Executive Vice President, including Executive Vice President. 1 believe these experiences will prepare me for continuing as Executive VP next year.

When you cast your vote for DSG President, you need be certain that the candidate will carry out the immense responsibility that you have entrusted him with. The DSG President must have the knowledge and the experience to carry out that responsibility.

As Vice President for Community Interaction, I have had a proven track record of leadership and effectiveness leading a group of active Legislators on my committee, meeting with administrators on issues of space, launching a series of discussions on gender, building permanent contacts with the Durham community, and collaborating with prominent student groups for the Race Perspectives forums in April.

This type of extensive experience has given me a clear vision of what I want to see Duke University become. I see a Duke where students feel empowered. When there are arbitrary changes in parking enforcement, a lack of information about progress in financial aid, or an inadequate advising system, it is the DSG President’s responsibility to raise these issues with the administration and directly take them to the student body. I see a West Campus that is enjoyable for all students. When the face of West Campus begins to change from moving selective groups to altering living requirements of sophomores, you need a DSG President who will bring all voices to the discussion table. I see an environment that is safe and responsible. When the alcohol policy changes take effect, you need a DSG President who understands the dangers of pushing drinking behind closed doors or off campus, and who understands the need for an increase in other social options on West, especially on weekends. As a candidate with the requisite knowledge, track record, and vision, 1 ask you to give me the opportunity to serve and represent you as DSG President. to

Fellow Duke Students, I believe that the Duke Student Government should be more representative and accountable to the student body. Recent discourse on social legislation has demonstrated that most students question the legitimacy of DSG, arguing that there has not been enough effort in assessing student opinion and accurately promoting undergraduate interests. Other students really have no interest in DSG affairs because experience has shown them that our organization is generally unmotivated and unproductive. Unfortunately, most criticism of DSC has been justified. And while it is not comforting to admit, our organizationrequires internal reform in order to function as a viable, representativebody.

Toward that end, I am proposing bylaw amendments that will make voting records and legislative projects publicized and accessible. I hope that students will hold their representatives accountable according to their accomplishments and positions on substantive issues. Moreover, I am working to establish a polling system on the DSG website that will post pending legislation and allow students to register opinions and comments before voting occurs. I hope that this measure will force representatives to seriously consider voter opinion.

One of the things that I have tried to improve during my DSG career is making our organization more responsible to the student body. Thus, I rewrote the house rules that govern legislative procedure and worked toward implementing referendum questions for elections. In short, I have spent my time trying to develop a system that would ultimately satisfy student demand for a true student government. I believe that with the while promoting proper leadership and vision, an individual can change attitudes inside and outside DSG progress. A real form of representation, characterized by meaningful student input, will contribute gready to the of work of DSG for undergraduates. Therefore, 1 urge you to vote in the election and help shape the future your government and campus.

said, he has learned humility—and how to effect a lot of change in other DSG positions.

But as president, he hopes to solve the problems

he noticed as a freshman. Using his experience leading DSG’s internal audit this year, he would like to make DSG accountable and responsive to students.

C.J. Walsh A strong front-of-the-lines leader, junior C.J. Walsh wants to bring his corporate organizing strategy and fresh face to DSG. Now the CEO of

Devil’s Delivery Service and one of two students on the Upperclass Residential Life Review Committee, Walsh said he has built success in his corporation by surrounding himself with strong “lieutenants “I lead from the front Walsh said. “I lead like C.J. Walsh Napoleon, at the front of the battle. I don’t expect anything of anyone else that I won’t do myself, but I expect dedication and enthusiasm out of my troops.”

Walsh would like to bring a CEO’s sense of corporate responsibility to DSG. But his lack of government experience may prove to be his biggest weakness.

Walsh is the only presidential candidate who has never served on DSG in any capacity. And not since 1997 has a president entered office with no DSG experience. But institutional memory on that election and the internal conflict that followed is disappearing, and Walsh believes that his new take on issues makes him right for the job.

For example, as leader of this year’s Last Day of Classes, Walsh has kept the event under budget for the first time in years and promises to draw acts that appeal to every student, regardless of race or gender. ”

“When I visited Duke as a prospective freshman, everyone was smiling,” he said. “As I’ve worked through my time at Duke, less and less people are smiling. If I came back to Duke and more people were smiling, that would make my work feel loved.”

Sean Young A collaborator who has learned to lead, junior Sean Young has spent his year as DSG’s community interaction vice president refining his leadership style. He hopes to use a combination of listening, delegating and understanding to boost the organization’s interaction with students But at times this year, Young has waited too long to gamer consensus on an idea before taking action. He said he has worked hard to balance consensus with leadership and now realizes that students Sean Young want stronger visionary leadership. “DSG is still struggling with how much it engages the student body. I want to have more interaction with the student body” he said. “I feel like I’m most qualified to represent the student body.”

Throughout his Duke career, Young has pushed this cause. He designed an e-mail-based constituency system that assigned each elected legislator to a section of campus to facilitate better communication between elected representatives and students. The system has been inconsistent, failing sometimes because of crashed e-mail servers and at other times because of disinterested legislators.

Either way, though, Young is proud that his freshman project has become a DSG institution. “I feel that if students have noticed a significant improvement in the way DSG interacts with them, I will consider that a success,” he said.

stars in front of the camera,” he said. “They’re playing

the same roles.”

To emphasize this trend, Lee pointed to recent films such as The Green Mile and The Legend of Bagger Vance, which he termed “The Legend of Nigger Vance.” Laughing and applauding in agreement, the audience sympathized with Lee’s assessment.

In these films, Lee identified a character who has special, mysterious powers. “These black males have supernatural powers, but they can’t use these powers on their own people... only on the white characters,” Lee said.

He used The Legend ofBagger Vance to illustrate this trend. The film, which takes place in Depression-era Georgia, features a caddy, played by black actor Will Smith, teaching a white character, played by Matt Damon, how to improve his golf game.

“Blackie wasn’t even allowed on golf courses back then,” Lee said. “He has magical mystery powers, but his number one concern is to teach... Matt Damon a golf swing? Black people are being hanged left and right.”

Calling the problem more widespread than just the film industry, the filmmaker indicted television for mischaracterizing blacks. Pointing to the emergence of such sitcoms as The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer —which focused on a black butler during the Civil War—Lee explained that black artists are frequently excluded from decisions concerning programming.

He decried this particular program as a sitcom about slavery. “Someone said ‘this is funny,’ [but black directors and producers were] not in the room.” Lee said. “At the same time, there is not going to be a sitcom that takes place in Auschwitz, but a holocaust is a holocaust, any way we look at it.”

Lee said he hoped to bring attention to the ramifications of images seen in the media. “We are not one monolithic group,” Lee said of black Americans. “We don’t all think alike, act alike, talk alike. I’d like to see a more diverse look at the African-American experience.”

Bunia Parker Parker is Prepared, Proactive, Proven! Bunia does not just talk, he takes action! As a member of the Community Interaction Committee, Bunia responds to his constituents on Central Campus with vigor. Bunia was successful in getting a FLEX Deposit machine on Central Campus; and is working with the administration and the Duke Police to increase the amount of Emergency Blue lights, to re-pave roads, and to increase the frequency of buses and number of bus shelters on Central. Bunia has a deep commitment to Dukc-Durham relations, and has outlined two strategies to move toward a more service-oriented campus. First, Bunia will work with the administration on instituting a Community Service Leave Policy. This policy provides employees paid time off for participation in community service volunteer activities for non-profit organizations. Second, Bunia will fight for the increased funding for the Community Service Center’s Student Budget, which provides funds to service-oriented student groups.

Bunia has a long-standing commitment to intercultural interaction. While many students were just talking about the inadequate programming and organizational space for cultural groups, Bunia not only drafted a proposal for the administration last year, he actively met with administrators, including the President. His effort helped lead to the establishment of a committee, on which he sits, that will present a recommendation to improve cultural space on campus. Bunia will also work to foster more collaboration between IFC, PANHEL, and NPHC on community service projects.

Bunia Parker has built relationships with the administration, student leaders, the Duke Police, the Community Service Center, and Durham officials. Because of his relationships, he was able to bring the Durham Mayor and a City Councilman to discuss Duke-Durham relations with the Community Interaction Committee last semester. Bunia will use these relationships to work toward progress. Bunia Parker...experience is thedifference!

Aging and Health class last April, but the service component did not begin until September. The course was taught by Deborah Gold, a psychology and behavioral sciences associate research professor, who is now the faculty advisor for

Adopt-a-Grandparent.

Linton said she started the program

because “there was nothing on campus related to geriatric service. There was just a huge need in the community.”

Linton said there are currently 30 active members who volunteer at IHS of Durham at least twice a month to build relationships with the residents through one-on-one and group activities.

Along with providing joy and support for the elderly, the organization aims to teach Duke students about senior citizens and to involve a diverse group of students in community interaction.

“Julie has put her passion into action. The students in the group come with a constant enthusiasm,” said se-

nior Travis Gayles, co-director of the Community Service Center, who called the new program a success.

Allyson Kane, director of the therapeutic recreation department at IHS of Durham, noted the powerful emotional effect the students sometimes have on the residents.

“Older people are often put on the back burner. These are people taking the time to spend with them,” Kane said. “Oftentimes improved emotions help to improve health.”

Although he has family members in Durham who visit him at the nursing home, William Young, a former New Jersey cop and now an IHS resident, says that in away he sometimes looks forward to seeing his “student granddaughter” even more than his biological family because she gives him a different perspective on the world.

“She’s a nice girl and I like her attitude. I like everything about her. I’ve been very fortunate,” Young said.

doesn’t tell us is that sanctions themselves have killed half a million children under the age of five.”

According to Masri and Harak, sanctions do not hurt Hussein, nor do they protect the security of the region. They argued that sanctions have built an Iraqi citizenry that thinks even Hussein is too lenient and that the U.S. is the aggressor in the situation. “The sanctions don’t make sense at all unless their objective is the destruction of Iraq as a nation and the killing of the Iraqi people, so that we—l mean Shell and Chevron—can control their oil,” Masri said.

The speakers challenged the audience to think about these issues, get involved with HIWAR and rival the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s political activism. “In Arabic, Hiwar means a serious dialogue, which I am hoping its members will engage in,” Masri said. “UNC is definitely the most progressive school in the area, but Duke University has the intellectual ability to rival them. HIWAR

will hopefully will lead to that.”

Now that HIWAR’s first sponsored event is completed, Al-Bulushi says that he and the other members will refocus their energies on advancing the new group. “We put the advancement of the club aside for a while to get this event scheduled,” he said. “We’re about 20 now, but we would like to grow to as many people as are interested.”

Elect Ensign

The

position of executive vice president has two prongs—to organize Duke Student Government meetings effectively and to manage legislators’ projects. Junior Drew Ensign, who took over the position this semester, seems to be able to balance both well.

During his time as vice president, he has met with nearly every legislator in an attempt to better organize the council and keep its many young members on task. At the same time, he has nearly halved legislature meeting times. Furthermore, his new ideas for the position are encouraging and could help enfranchise many more Duke students.

First, his promises to allow students to sign up for issues that interest them and then keep those constituents abreast of DSG’s progress on the issues is fantastic. And his promise to loosen the house rules to aUow interested non-DSG members to talk is also a great change.

And the logic behind his belief that DSG serves more of a trustee role than a representative one is solid—students vote for representatives not as much on the issues but because ofwho they trust to deal with all the issues that could face the legislature.

Henry Ho is a very thoughtful candidate who seems well versed in the house rules. But his opposition to unanimous consent motions as silencing the minority is illogical, and his ability to motivate legislators to do their projects is less compelling than Ensign’s. His idea, however, for tabulating and publishing individual legislator’s votes into an online voting record, is a tremendous one that is long-needed Ensign would do well to take up this idea if he is elected.

The Chronicle formally endorses Drew Ensign for DSG executive vice president.

Support Jean-Baptiste

Next

year, the Duke Student Government vice president for student affairs will face a multitude of challenging issues including the alcohol policy debate, the residential life plan, social programming changes and the possible creation of a multicultural center. Ideally, the race for this influential position would be between two very experienced students who are well prepared to handle the upcoming challenges. This election has not given students two such candidates. However, Joshua Jean-Baptiste is the better choice.

Among his most notable qualities, Jean-Baptiste demonstrates an honest and fair assessment ofthe Annual Review Committee —understanding that there are both positive and negative aspects to the process. And while he should reconsider his opposition to portions of the residential life program that pertain to moving selective living groups to the peripheral quadrangles, there is no doubt that he can contribute to a debate on the issue. Also, Jean-Baptiste should study the alcohol issue further and develop a more nuanced position.

His opponent, junior Allen Thompson, presents a narrowly focused vision for the student affairs position that overly emphasizes greek life and pays too little attention to independents. His position on the ARC—that their proceedings and decisions should be open and archived—is a step in the right direction. However, he is ill-suited for the position and does not have the background or knowledge ofthe issues necessary to serve in this position.

The Chronicle formally endorses Joshua Jean-Baptiste for vice president for student affairs.

Black Student Alliance endorses DSG candidates Seeing as a variety of pertinent to the African-American community have surfaced this academic year, it will be the responsibility of Duke Student Government and the University to remain aware of these concerns and of African-American students’ interests.

This year, the Black Student Alliance sought to endorse those candidates issues

who familiarized themselves

not only with these issues but also with the goals of our organization. We were able to gain a unique perspective of

the candidates via a joint question and answer session with other campus cultural

groups. Those candidates who were successfully able to reach out to all cultural groups had a profound influence on our decision.

There were many qualified candidates, and therefore the endorsement choices were difficult to make. The BSA endorses Sean Young for president, Drew Ensign for executive vice president, Joshua Jean-Baptiste for vice president for student affairs and Bunia Parker for vice president for community interaction.

Although Abhijit Prabhu is unopposed for VP of Academic Affairs, we encourage him to become more aware of the important minority issues

surrounding the Duke academic experience. These issues include; minority representation in the faculty and administration and the academic performance gap between certain minorities and the majority of students.

Both are issues that the BSA focused on this year and should be addressed by this position.

In all, we feel that this slate of candidates will best tackle campus issues, and we would like to wish them well on March 1.

The trouble with sanctions Why does the United States continually attack Iraq if it supports a policy of economic sanctions?

t

_

i I

On Friday, Feb. 16, in a fearless act of self-defense, the United States sent 18 fighter jets into Iraqi territory to destroy dangerous military installations and radar sites just outside Baghdad. Over the past 10 years, British and American planes have engaged in daily bombings on Iraqi soil, but this was the first bombing to bypass the no-fly zone, since former president Bill Clinton did so on the eve of his impeachment.

This particular mission, authorized

by President George W. Bush, was set to defend American presence in the region against targets that “threaten our forces,” according to the President.

Officials in Washington have failed to expand on the nature of that threat, but attempted to depict the recent attacks as simply “a routine mission to enforce the no-fly zone,” despite it being anything but routine.

Surprisingly, recent information suggests that the mission did not even its desired objectives. achieve According to the Pentagon, less than half of the 22 Iraqi radar sites near Baghdad were hit with the technologically advanced AGM-154 Joint StandOff Weapon (J-SOW), a bomb with a supposedly high accuracy rating. In fact, the aftermath of the attack revealed that some of these bombs missed their targets by at least a couple of hundred yards. Iraq has shown instead that many civilian sites have

On Feb. 13, the Boston Herald reports that “an explicit sex workshop for kids conducted by state health and education counselors last year could haunt” the governor’s confirmation. The Herald reports that Camenker, upset that Cellucci refused to meet with Lucas Schaefer PRC representatives after “Fistgate,” has started lobbying North Carolina senator Jesse Helms to block Cellucci’s nomination.

It’s the story of what the program devoted to homosexual happens when a media-hungry citizen gets smart and The Herald fails to mention that the workshop was when the press corps gets lazy.

I’ve met Camenker before. We’re from the same city, and in high school a friend and I did a number of stories on him for our school newspaper. That was way back before “Fistgate,” before Camenker thought anything of his “stock.” At the time, Camenker told us that any information on homosexuality we got from the Newton Public Schools was “scientific quackery and lunacy.” He said that English teachers overemphasized the Holocaust—“[l’m Jewish but] I want my little girl to learn English in English class.”

He also said that history teachers should stop teaching students about the contribution of women to industrialism—“ln a lot of people’s opinions, women in [mills] are reasonably trivial.”

When I called him a few days ago to tell him I was writing about the “Fistgate” incident, Camenker initially offered me a few benign comments. But once he realized that I wasn’t writing for national publication and that his remarks would probably not get re-published in The New York Times, old angry Camenker once again reared his ugly head. “Y’know, Lucas, it flips me out,” he told me. “It’s like dealing with Nazis.

Everything the [gays] do is at least partially a lie. If you talk normally, they just stomp you. Y’know, these gays are, these people are vicious, nasty people.”

It makes no sense to ignore Camenker—he’s there, he’s a reality, and if he ever does anything newsworthy the press has a responsibility to cover it. But to make Camenker look like your run-of-the-mill conservative is deceptive. The only thing that separates him from a “real” bigot is his clothing, his zip code and his ability to tone down the rancorous rhetoric when he wants a little media attention.

Sometime between 4 p.m.

Feb. 23 and 6:30 a.m. Feb. 24, someone broke the $5OO left-side and right-side passenger’s windows of a student’s vehicle, which was parked in the lot on Duke University Road across from Chapel Drive, Dean said.

Car window smashed: A student reported

that between 11:30 p.m. Feb. 23 and 7 a.m. Feb. 24, someone smashed out the $4OO right rear window of her vehicle, which was parked at Towerview and Duke University Road, Dean said.

Cell phone, CD player taken: An employee reported that between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Feb. 23, someone broke the $250 driver’s side window ofher vehicle and stole her $35 wallet containing $25 in cash, credit cards and a driver’s license, Dean said. The perpe-

Peres: Country in need of unity now ISRAEL from page 2 It also commits the new government to abide by any agreements with Israel’s Arab neighbors and the Palestinians that were endorsed by the Knesset. Thus, the 1993 Oslo accord recognizing the principle of land-forpeace would be honored, but not Barak’s offers of territorial concessions.

Palestinian leaders have said they expect the Sharon government to respect the proposals made by Barak’s negotiators in the last few months. Sharon has refused, saying he will restart talks on his own terms and only when Palestinians stop attacking Israelis.

The agreement also enshrines Sharon’s campaign promise to put aside the painful decisions of a final settlement and concentrate on further interim accords.

“Should we be in opposition?” demanded Peres in a rousing speech. “Will we sit and wait? And wait for what? To make some speeches in opposition?”

The country, he added, wants a unity government in order to feel secure in the face of external dangers from enemies like Iraq and the internal crisis of a bloody five-month-old Palestinian uprising.

“Sharon has a very severe diplomatic situation,” Peres said. “And in terms of ideology, he has already

Two cars damaged: At 4:34 a.m. Feb. 26, Campus Police found that the passenger-side windows of two vehicles parked at the Washington Duke Inn had been broken, Dean said. In one ofthe vehicles, the perpetrator had stolen the radio from the center console and damaged a door lock. The victims could not be contacted.

Parking signs painted over: At 6.42 a.m. Feb. 21, Campus Police discovered that someone had paint-

ed over six handicapped symbols on handicapped parking signs in the parking lot on Edens Drive with gray paint, Dean said. The perpetrator had also written “F— YOU PARKING PEOPLE WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION” on the retainer wall.

CDs swiped: Between 7:40 and 8 p.m. Feb. 24, someone stole 25 of an employee’s CDs worth $2OO from the open area of the Levine Science Research Center while the employee was disc jockeying a party, Dean said.

Cash taken from locker: Between 3.05 and 4:50 p.m. Feb. 23, someone stole $5O cash from a student’s secured locker in the Wilson Recreation Center, Dean said. There were no signs of forced entry.

Feb. 25, a student reported someone with a set of keys but no tools knocked on her Anderson Street apartment door and asked if she needed her bathroom fixed.

made significant concessions.”

Without the Labor Party, the prime minister-elect would have been obliged to cobble together a decidedly less moderate coalition between his Likud Party and several small right-wing and ultra-religious parties. As several Israeli prime ministers before Sharon have

learned, those groupings often prove too brittle to survive. Historically, the smaller and more ideologically rigid parties tend to bolt or threaten to bolt over issues of domestic policy or money for their pet projects.

The government Sharon can now assemble will most likely have the centrist factions of Likud and Labor as its ballast, leaving the more thoroughly left-wing and secular parties as the opposition. Labor has the largest bloc of seats in the 120-member parliament, with 22, and Likud has 19. The rest are split among several religious, Russian immigrant, secular, leftist, extreme right-wing and Israeli Arab parties.

The decision to participate in a Sharon government took a heavy toll on Labor, which has been floundering in self-recriminations and back-biting since Barak’s trouncing in the Feb. 6 elections.

Colette Avital, a former Israeli consul general in New York and a Labor legislator, warned: “We may become a fig leaf for policies in which we don’t believe.

Some people really believe that by going into the government, they can diminish some of the extreme decisions. I just don’t believe it.”

But such views were drowned out by the more popular idea that Labor ministers in a Sharon government could moderate its otherwise tough line toward the peace talks and international relations.

“There is only one reason to do this, and that is the to a chance to influence the course of said policy, moderate responsible, reasonable, moral, Ephraim Sneh, the deputy defense minister in Baraks cabinet. “The Israeli people are terribly concerned about the possibility of adventurism of a right-wmg government and would expect us to counterbalance it.

Duke prepares for Senior Night tussle with Terps

By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle

Chris Carrawell won more conference games than any player in league history.

But if there was one time that his emotions got the best of him on the court, it was on his Senior Day. “It was very emotional” Carrawell said after beating UNC last year. “I was nervous—l was nervous even before coming to the gym. I woke up earlier than I usually do, anticipating coming here for the last time. I kept on taking deep breaths so I wouldn’t lose it out there and start crying and not be able to play the game.” .

Emotions always run high at Cameron, but never higher than when Duke says goodbye to its seniors.

Two years ago, Clemson did the unthinkable to Trajan Langdon on his Senior Day. Seven-foot-one center Allan Allenspach elbowed the senior in the head with the game tied at 30.

While Langdon controlled his bleeding lip, the Blue Devils let out their anger with a 26-0 run that was more payback than a hundred retaliatory punches.

“We played at an incredibly high level of emotion,” Krzyzewski said after the game. “It was just amazing basketball the last eight minutes [after the elbow].”

Of course, the Blue Devil coach could have been just repeating his words from Senior Game the year before, when Duke came back from 17 down with 11:30 to go to beat UNC 77-75.

“The last 11-and-a-half minutes of the game were the best,” Krzyzewski said after the win and “The Hug” with senior Steve Wojciechowski. “I mean, I don’t know how you get any better.”

Chances are, if it could get any better it would have to be on another Senior Day. The women’s NCAA tournament still holds its first round games in college gyms, but for the men there is no such policy. Tonight will be the last game in Cameron for Shane Battier, Nate James, J.D. Simpson and Ryan Caldbeck.

“It’s going to be a great night,” Battier said. “It’s the last time I’ll get to play in this historic place.... I think I’ll get nostalgic. I’m looking forward to the game.”

But there will be no time for such sentiments once the game starts. Duke is out for revenge after Maryland gave the Blue Devils their only conference loss last season in Cameron.

In addition, Duke is looking for revenge for a more recent crime—the Blue Devils played the part of the Harlem Globetrotters to the Terps’ Washington Generals, overcoming a 10point deficit in 54 seconds and escaping Cole Field House with an overtime win.

Maryland lost four ofits next five games before recovering with three straight wins heading into today’s game.

Two head-to-head matchups to watch for are the battle at point guard between sophomores Jason Williams See MEN’S BASKETBALL on page 22

CARLOS BOOZER shoots over Maryland’s Lonny Baxter in Duke’s win last month

Senior Schweitzer sets tone despite shooting struggles Georgia Schweitzer’s senior night was almost over. It had not been pretty.

In fact, underclassmen were dominating most of the evening, as both Duke sophomore Michele Matyasovsky and Tar Heel freshman Candace Scott had already set career highs.

Illustrated for Women, freshman Alana Beard was named freshman of the year by the publication.

And when Duke found itself down four with just over two minutes to play, Schweitzer deferred to sophomore Sheana Mosch, whose eight quick points gave the Blue Devils their first real momentum of the game, coach Gail Goestenkors said.

But with seven seconds left, Mosch’s baseball pass left the senior all by herself on a fast break. And after the ensuing intentional foul, the senior was able to seal the game by shooting a pair of free throws. It had taken a while, but the more than 30 family and friends who made the trip from her native Ohio saw possibly her greatest moment at Cameron.

“You kind of think about that the

whole game,” she said, referring to the emotions of senior night. “I was definitely glad to be the one shooting the free throws.”

The crowd of over 8,000 had been loud the entire evening and erupted during Mosch’s late outburst. But when Schweitzer caught the pass and began driving alone toward the basket, there was a different kind of noise. It was loud, too, but there was also a murmuring as if everyone in the building recognized both how fitting and unbelievable it was that the senior was on her own in the last seconds.

Even the steady Schweitzer had to enjoy the setting. “You can’t ask to go out any better way than against a big rival, on senior night, in front of my friends with such a great crowd,” she said.

North Carolina star LaQuanda Barksdale said the team was caught completely off guard by Mosch’s pass, but the Tar Heels are not alone when it comes to being shocked by Schweitzer.

Drivers commemorate Earnhardt’s death

By MIKE HARRIS Associated Press

ROCKINGHAM, N.C. With tears in his eyes, Steve Park honored his late boss by driving a Dale Earnhardt car to victory yesterday in the Dura Lube 400.

Park held off Winston Cup champion Bobby Labonte by two car-lengths in the rain-delayed race at the North Carolina Speedway.

“Fm just glad it was Bobby behind me,” Park said after the second win of his career. “If it wasn’t him, we’d probably both have wrecked. It’s been a tough week, and this is just a dream finish.”

Park, who started next to polesitter Jeff Gordon, was a contender throughout the race, which began Sunday and was postponed by rain after just 52 of the 393 laps.

It was a fitting end to a race that began with a frightening first-lap crash by Park’s teammate, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Three turns after the race started, a battered car and a hushed crowd provided a reminder of the previous week’s tragedy in Daytona.

Earnhardt Jr. was tapped from behind and slammed into the wall between turns 3 and 4 at about 150 mph—just seven days after his father died in an eerily similar crash on the last lap of the Daytona 500.

The younger Earnhardt was bruised but escaped serious injury, limping away from the accident.

“I hate it for Junior because this would have really took his mind off it for quite a while, just getting one race behind him,” said Tony Eury Jr., a cousin and a member of Earnhardt Jr.’s crew. “But when he came in the garage area, we all just grabbed him and told him, ’Don’t worry about it. We always got next week.”’

The 26-year-old Earnhardt appeared to shrug off the mishap, even though it occurred on the first lap of racing since his father was killed.

“Somebody got into me,” Earnhardt Jr. told his team over the radio. “I was really ready to go racing.

We’ll be all right, guys.”

Asked ifhe was hurt, he smiled and said, “The lap belt was a little too tight. I’m a little bruised up. I’ll be OK”

Earnhardt Jr., in his second full season of driving on the Winston Cup circuit, started 25th in the 43-car field. The start of the race was delayed 1 hour, 33 minutes by rain, and later was postponed until yesterday because of the weather.

The race resumed with the sun shining brightly—but without Earnhardt Jr. The cars were restarted in single file with the Dodge of Stacy Compton in front of the Chevrolets of Gordon and Park.

Moments before he crashed, Earnhardt Jr. was in a tightly bunched pack of cars heading into the third turn on the 1.017-mile speedway. Robby Gordon swerved down the banked track in front of Earnhardt Jr., who slowed slightly. Rookie Ron Hornaday Jr. then bumped the rear of Earnhardt’s Chevrolet, sending it into the car driven by Kenny Wallace and then into the concrete wall at an angle.

In all, six drivers were involved in Sunday’s wreck, including Jimmy Spencer, Mike Wallace and Hut Stricklin. Only Earnhardt Jr. and Kenny Wallace were unable to return to the race.

“It was just like a traffic jam,”Kenny Wallace said.

“Everybody was wanting the bottom of the race track and somebody got into the back of Earnhardt and got it starting. It was a bad deal.”

In the crash that killed the elder Earnhardt, the seven-time champion bumped with Sterling Marlin, bounced into Kenny Schrader and hit the wall at 180 mph. Earnhardt died instantly of head injuries.

A NASCAR physician said Earnhardt might have survived if one of his two lap belts hadn’t broken.

NASCAR is investigating what caused the belt to come apart.

Before Sunday’s crash, tributes honored Earnhardt as one ofthe greatest stock car racers in history.

Most of the drivers and crewmen wore black, red and silver caps with Earnhardt’s No. 3 on the front.

The members of the Dale Earnhardt Inc. team, which fields cars for Earnhardt Jr., Park and Daytona winner Michael Waltrip, stood on the pit wall during the national anthem holding the caps aloft in a salute to their former boss.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

While Maryland center Lonnie Baxter has frequently outplayed his Duke counterpart Carlos Boozer, the strong play of Boozer against Wake Forest makes this matchup a draw. The duel at power forward will also be heavily contested, but Shane Battier is more versatile than the All-ACC performer Terence Morris.

S9

This contest features arguably the two most talented backcourts in the ACC. Jason Williams will be pestered by consistent point guard Steven Blake, and Nate James will give All-ACC candidate Juan DixOn all he can handle. Whomever wins the Mike DunleavyByron Mouton duel could come out victorious.

EVEN

Despite the recently productive minutes from by guard Chris Duhon and center Casey Sanders, the Blue Devils simply cannot go as deep as the Terps.

Maryland has a former starter, Danny Miller, and Drew Nicholas provide solid perimeter shooting, while Tahj Holden and Mike Mardesich are tough in the paint.

There is no question that Maryland will be looking for revenge after its last-minute collapse at Cole Field House last month. However, this is Senior Night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, meaning Nate James, Shane Battier, and Duke’s all important “sixth man” will be jacked to knock out the Terrapins.

Mosch comes up big at crucial moments � WOMEN’S BASKETBALL from page 1 Last night, guard Sheana Mosch stepped to the baseline to re-enact the home-run play, which again worked like clockwork. When Schweitzer suddenly sprinted downcourt, Mosch lofted a pass over the entire UNC defense, hit Schweitzer directly on the numbers and forced a napping Brown to commit a decisive intentional foul with five seconds left.

“Sheana throws it better,” said Schweitzer, referring to since-departed Rice, who is an assistant coach at South Alabama this season.

While the Tar Heels hurried off the court after their second heart-breaking defeat to the Blue Devils this season, Duke’s seniors led a mad dash to center court, where they were quickly surrounded by hundreds of screaming students who were part of the second-largest home crowd in

Duke women’s basketball history.

UNC star LaQuanda Barksdale, who had an off shooting night but still scored 14 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, said the Tar Heels were surprised by the deep pass, but her coach insisted that Brown should not have been assessed an intentional foul.

“No, no, no; you need to talk to the ACC people about that,” Hatched said. “I would like an explanation myself, but no.”

Before hammering home the nail in UNO’s coffin with her perfect pass, Mosch rallied the Blue Devils from a 6359 deficit late in the game. After the Blue Devils chalked up only two successful treys in their first 14 attempts against the Tar Heels’ zone defense, Mosch took over with slightly more than two minutes remaining.

Mosch, who was the hero of Duke’s victory over UNC last month in Chapel Hill, awakened after a slow start by grabbing a critical offensive rebound and nailing back-to-

back three-pointers, the second of which put the Blue Devils up by two for the first time since the 6:10 mark.

“I was missing all game long; it was about time I hit something,” said Mosch, who scored her eighth straight point on Duke’s next possession when she banked in an awkward floater.

Although Duke had its sophomore star to thank for its thrilling comeback, it had its lucky stars to thank for even being in the game midway through the first half.

Schweitzer came out with an extra bounce in her step early in the game, scoring on three consecutive possessions in the game’s opening three minutes and propelling Duke to a 16-10 lead at the first official timeout. By the next official timeout, however, the Blue Devils were still stuck on 16 points as the Tar Heels used a 12-0 run to open up a sixpoint lead of their own.

Schweitzer’s early hot shooting turned ice cold as the senior missed four consecutive three-pointers before Beard threw a pass well over her teammates’ heads and prompted the third official timeout, this time with Duke down seven, 29-22. The mental mistake by Beard let Carolina take its biggest lead of the game on its next possession, but the Tar Heels never ran away from the struggling and outof-sync Blue Devils.

Instead, Beard came back out of the timeout and scored six consecutive points off two of her game-high four steals.

Her personal mini-run re-energized her teammates and led Duke on a 15-2 run that made the game a back-andforth battle until its climax.

“I don’t really have much to say; I thought we played hard and I’m proud of my team,” Hatchell said. “A few breaks here or there down the stretch and it would have been a different thing.”
