Defense brings home ACC title Discontent brews over ARAMARK

By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle

GREENSBORO For a second straight season, Gail Goestenkors laced her hands around the rim of the Greensboro Coliseum—knuckles pressed white against the metal, bathed in the wash of stadium and camera lights—and flashed a smile broader than the outside skyline to the throng of media staring up, almost as ifthey expected her to plant a flag there.

For a second straight season, Goestenkors did a chin-up to the popping of cameras and shuffling of papers. And, for a second straight season, she came down to the ovation of an ACC champion.

It is tough to know what she was thinking, but the view could have hardly been more familiar. With a stunning defensive effort and just enough offense to get past a fatigued N.C. State team, the fourthranked Blue Devils (28-3) edged the 21st-ranked Wolfpack (20-10) to claim the ACC championship and move to 8-0 in Greensboro.

“I’m excited, I’m happy, I’m proud,” said Goestenkors, who coached Duke to the championship in the same building last year and the stunning 1999 upset of Tennessee. “Fm happy for the seniors.

The underclassmen said they wanted to play for the seniors today... and they did.”

As dining officials consider ARAMARK’s proposal to assume management of four eateries on campus, members of the Duke community are scrutinizing the company’s history. Pointing to complaints at other universities, some students—led by juniors Jonathan Harris and Snehal Patel—contend that the company serves poorquality food and mistreats its employees.

Dining officials say these are isolated grievances, reflecting a rift between administrators and students that appears prevalent at other schools. And although he acknowledges that his company has had problems at some schools, Jack Donovan, Trinity ’BO and president of the campus services division of ARAMARK, said the problems have not been unusual for a food-service company.

“1 think the great news about technology and the Internet is that everyone has a voice. But some voices have been heard a little higher than might be appropriate,” Donovan told students last Wednesday night at a meeting of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee.

Some of those protesting voices have been coming from Yale University, which has used ARAMARK since 1998. “We found that when the food services got privatized, the accountability for quality disappeared,” said Antony Dugdale, a spokesperson for Yale unions, including Local 35, which represents dining workers.

“ARAMARK isn’t so concerned about quality—just about their profits A Feb. 27 story in The Yale Daily News claimed that ARAMARK has not only reduced food quality since coming to Yale, but also has reduced selection and portion size. “ARAMARK, which is hamstrung by an expensive long-term agreement with a food provider, is dramatically lowering the amount it spends on meal production and cutting key foods from the menu,” the student newspaper reported. ”

SHEANA MOSCH (RIGHT) played a key role in a stifling defensive game plan that clamped down on N.C. State’s star Carisse Moody (44) and gave Duke the win.

Internet plagiarism plagues Duke during fall semester

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

When a 1999 study revealed gross incidents of academic dishonesty at Duke, the University called for a renewed focus on academic' integrity. But the number of charges of academic misconduct continues to rise as administrators and students await the release of a report analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the academic environment.

“The issue of academic integrity is one that students have highlighted that requires a renewed effort. There’s an

awareness that faculty themselves might not be playing the role that they could be,” said Provost Peter Lange. “We need to have better, more efficient systems in place for identifying thatkind of thing when it happens.”

In particular, Duke has witnessed a substantial increase in plagiarism: from 12 charges all of last year to 14 charges just last semester. 90 percent of these charges have involved plagiarism from the Internet, mirroring national attention to Internet abuse as a generation of web-sawy students enters college.

“The ease of the Internet and accessithe bility of sources on the Internet and

It’s a

way students are writing their papers now certainly contributes to [increased levels of plagiarism],” said Kacie Wallace, associate dean for judicial affairs.

“It’s much easier to cut and paste, and oftentimes with these cases, students don’t realize how much they’re plagiarizing.” Wallace said that in some cases, students do not properly cite their sources; in others, students knowingly copy and paste from the Internet and present the material as their own.

The Academic Integrity Institutional Assessment and Action Guide—the 1999 study that raised consciousness about unreported academic dishonesty cases at Duke—also surveyed students about Internet abuse. The report showed that just 10 percent of students

surveyed admitted to plagiarizing using the Internet. Five percent indicated that they had turned in a paper from an online term paper mill.

Don McCabe, founder of the Dukebased Center for Academic Integrity and author ofthe report, said these percentages have likely increased and will continue to do so. “I’m sure it’s changed already [since the survey],” said McSee PLAGIARISM on page 12

Heart pains send Cheney to hospital

By RON FOURNIER Associated Press

WASHINGTON Vice President Dick Cheney underwent surgery Monday to reopen a partially blocked artery after checking into a hospital with chest pains.

It was the same artery that had been cleared last November after his fourth heart attack.

There was no evidence that Cheney had suffered another heart attack, said his cardiologist, Dr. Jonathan Reiner. The doctor also said he did not believe Cheney had suffered more heart damage, though the vice president was spending the night at the hospital for observation.

Cheney, 60, had quicklyresumed a full schedule after a heart attack and follow-up surgery last November.

“There is a very high likelihood he can finish out his term in his fully vigorous capacity,” the doctor said after Monday’s procedure, an angioplasty. But he added, “He has chronic heart and artery disease.”

Reiner said there was a 40 percent risk the artery would narrow again.

President George W. Bush, playing down his top adviser’s latest health scare, called the surgery “a precautionary measure.” Bush spoke by telephone to Cheney, who reported from the hospital that he was feeling fine and looking forward to returning to work, the White House said.

Reiner said Cheney probably could fully return to his work “later in the week,” adding, “He has very nicely adhered to what we wanted him to do.”

Hayti Corp. may lose city funding The City Council debated whether to revoke almost $200,000 from the company, which members say has not acted quickly enough, but ultimately made no decision.

By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

The Durham City Council discussed last night whether to transfer $198,000 in funding away from a community development corporation criticized for working too slowly and achieving too little.

The council ultimately made no decision on whether to give the money allocated to Hayti Development Corporation to other nonprofit community housing groups, postponing action on the item for five weeks with an 11-2 vote.

“I want to give everybody the benefit of the doubt,” council member Pamela Blyth said. “But in two cycles when this comes back, I need to be convinced that this money is put to good use.... I will be surprised if I hear anything that convinces me that we shouldn’t pull this money.”

Last night’s debate centered around a recommendation from Greg Bethea, Durham’s interim city manager.

Bethea’s plan calls for the city to cancel its contracts with Hayti for the redevelopment of 14 houses and four vacant lots throughout East Durham, and to reallocate that task to other community development corporations.

Under the plan, the group would continue to rehabilitate five properties.

By JODI SAROWITZ The T-shirts will read: Durham, Chapel Hill, New York. The burritos will be healthy, the beer cheap and the atmosphere relaxed.

That’s right, New Yorkers are about to get a taste of Duke—Cosmic Cantina is expanding to New York City

this April.

Why New York?

In the words of Cosmic Cantina president, CEO and 1995 Duke graduate Cosmos Lyles, “Burritos are really underrepresented there.”

Lyles said he was “looking for something within walking distance of [New York University]” when he started scouting locations for the new Cantina. “For some reason the East Side felt right; it feels more like Cantina in the East Village,” he said. “The people walking around Third Avenue seemed to be young and Cantina-like.”

So Lyles went to the village, looked for vacancies and found a spot at Third Avenue and 13th Street.

The newest Cantina will be one block from Union Square, five blocks from the center of the New York University campus and within one to two blocks of three NYU dorms. It is also in close proximity to the hot new club Spa, which may funnel customers to the Cantina after hours.

“Late night is such a cool and key element of our business,” Lyles said. “Being near a college and having

reasonable prices will go well anywhere, but I think late night is a great aspect.”

Lyles has also considered the possibility of staying open 24 hours, although he will wait until the new location has been open for a while before deciding.

“Drinking stops there at 4 [a.m.]; if we stay open till 5 [a.m], that’s only five hours until opening [the next day],” Lyles said. “It is still tough to get healthy, nongreasy food after 2 a.m.”

New York will not be Cantina’s first expansion.

Four years after the Durham location opened in September 1995, Lyles expanded to include a Chapel Hill location.

But New York is a totally different environment. In a place where the cost of a movie just hit the $lO mark, will Cantina be able to keep its low prices?

“Everything will probably go up a dollar,” Lyles said. “I’d love to keep the chicken burrito at the same price, though. That’s the item everybody orders.”

While the rent in New York may be higher than in Durham, Lyles also has access to many more vendors to purchase ingredients.

“I’m finding premium ingredients—organic beans, rice and tomatoes,” he said.

Lyles hopes his burritos can become part of the “grab and go” foods many New Yorkers feed on.

“I think it would be great,” said junior Becca Carr.

“New York is so expensive, and Cantina isn’t expensive

University ponders future filled with tiny technology This story is the first in a two-part series on nanotechnology.

By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

Visionaries of the future may be enthralled by hopes for superhuman artificial intelligence, genetic mastery and space colonization, but they might be guilty of thinking just a little too big.

The most intriguing possibilities for the future are being realized at the tiniest scale.

Nanotechnology is the science of precisely controlling individual atoms for efficient manufacturing and the creation of new—and stronger, lighter, more flexible and cheaper—materials.

Often maligned as overly optimistic and scientifically unreasonable, nanotechnology, should it become a reality, offers enormous benefits. Current ef-

forts in nanoscience center around the control of atoms and the properties of matter at scale of a nanometer, a billionth of a meter.

Nanotechnology could turn current manufacturing methods upside-down.

Instead of cutting down and repeatedly refining large objects into small, useful ones —such as chopping down and processing a tree to create a pen-

cil-nanotechnology would allow these objects to be created from the bottom up, using individual atoms and molecules to form the end product. This would eliminate large amounts of waste and save energy.

Such manufacturing would be more environmentally sound and perhaps cheaper. Control at such a microscopic level also promises benefits in medicine, science and computing.

Whether fact or fiction, nanotechnology has sparked visions of nanograndeur within the science industry.

And the United States is making sure it is among the world leaders in this new technology. Former President Bill Clinton proposed $498 million in nanotech funding for the 2001 fiscal year, with roughly 70 percent going to university research.

Duke University is among the many institutions planning and conducting groundbreaking research at the nanoscale. John Rarer, vice provost for Academic Affairs, has been one of the main proponents for nanoscience at Duke, calling it a “high-priority item.”

Plans include hiring new faculty—two in physics, two in chemistry, and up to four in engineering—as well as funding new facilities and equipment. A

large part of the proposed Engineering and Applied Science Building would house nanotechnology research, with $lO-20 million going to scientific equipment with nanoscience applications.

The Pratt School of Engineering, in particular, has targeted nanoscience as a priority. Along with information technology and bioengineering, nanotechnology has been named as one of Pratt’s three main strategic initiatives for the future.

Administrators are also searching for a director ofnanoscience at Duke to offer intellectual leadership and help coordinate collaboration among various departments and schools. Candidates for the position include two current faculty members at Duke, one in physics and one in chemistry, as well as two scientists from outside the University.

Marching bands to converge on Duke for Minority Fest

By HANNAH KARP The Chronicle

Some people talk about today’s music as a negative influence on young people. Instead, the Minority Kids and Young Adults Fest is hoping to use music to interest minority students in higher education.

In collaboration with the Duke University Marching Band, the Black Student Alliance is planning to hold the festival next November in Wallace Wade Stadium to encourage minority kids and young adults to pursue a college degree. To attract Durham youths, the MKYA Fest hopes to feature some of the most distinguished college and high school bands in the United States.

The festival is primarily designed to educate minority students and parents about higher education. The festival will provide Durham kids with the opportunity to interact with both Duke minority students and stu-

dents who attend historically black colleges and universities. Bolden cited studies that show students who attend programs held on campuses are more likely to attend college.

College recruiters and representatives of college preparation courses will be on site to inform families about financial aid and SAT preparation.But academics will not be the only attraction at the event; the day will also feature distinguished marching bands with a style unique to historically black high schools and colleges.

“I thought it was a really neat idea—a lot of people never get to see this in the ACC,” said Neil Boumpani, director of D.U.M.B, alluding to the fast music and movement that characterizes the marching bands’ style.

“One band I know goes through two weeks of training before school starts that is physically more demanding than what the football players go through. They

have to be in excellent shape,” Boumpani said, adding that these bands do not only play fast pieces. “They play some slower, funky stuff more people can really get into—[music] white colleges just can’t play with the same feeling.”

Junior Dorian Bolden, who chairs MKYA Fest, said most cultural activities at Duke highlight more traditional aspects of black culture, such as African dance. “I wanted to bring a more contemporary aspect of black culture to Duke,” he said.

The MKYA Fest committee has already raised over $15,000 from Duke administrators and campus organizations to make the event free for participants. Now, the committee will begin to solicit corporations. Actively seeking another Duke group to co-sponsor the event, the committee hopes to wrap up fundraising by early April in order to start planning the event in fuller detail.

Three cars damaged in Washington Duke parking lot From staff reports At about 7 a.m. March 4, someone vandalized three cars in the Washington Duke Inn parking lot, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. At 7:06 a.m., Campus Police responded in reference to the vandalism of one of the cars. The perpetrator had broken out the vehicle’s $l5O driver’s side window and had stolen a $6O Wilson tennisracket and a $l2O Head tennis racket.

In another guest’s vehicle, someone had broken the $l5O passenger side window, stolen the $4OO stereo and done $lOO in damage to the passenger’s door lock.

The window of a third vehicle had also been broken out. Campus Police could not contact the victim.

Laptop taken: A student reported that between

4:45 and 6 p.m. March 4, someone entered his unsecured room in Blackwell Dormitory and stole his Dell PPM laptop computer, 5000 series with serial number 000832LM129610793937 146-739-57 and the number 88748342 engraved on the back, Dean said.

School of Law to open kids’ clinic

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

As the University strives to improve its relationship with the city of Durham, a new law school initiative may prove to be a major step in creating a stronger bond with families that are underserved by the legal system.

Since last fall, a committee of law school faculty and administrators has been planning a children’s law clinic to serve low-income families in Durham.

The clinic will specialize in offering counseling and advocacy on a wide range of children’s educational issues. Services could be particularly helpful to the parents of children with educational needs and disciplinary problems.

“We think the clinic could certainly benefit the children and families that may not be aware of all of their legal options,” said John Bumess, senior vice president for Public Affairs and Governmental Relations. “I think this program has tremendous potential.”

Other law schools have created similar clinics, although the majority specialize in dealing with the neglect and abuse of children. Law school organizers said they chose children’s educational issues because of the lack of such advocacy groups in the Triangle.

“North Carolina is one ofthe few states in the nation that has a good system of providing resources for children dealing with abuse and neglect,” said Jane Wettach, senior lecturing fellow and committee member. “After discussions with members of the community and an assessment, we thought [education] was an area where we could be of some help.”

Ideally, the program would employ two legal professionals to work alongside a select group of 10 to twelve law school students. Katherine Bartlett, dean of the law school, said the clinic would expose students to the issues facing the underserved and underprivileged members of the community.

“We think this will be an excellent way to provide more practical experience for our students,” said Bartlett, who is A. Kenneth Pye Professor of Law. “We also think we can have an impact in the area of child

advocacy.”

Officials are now in the fundraising phase of the plan. Bartlett and others have begun to investigate a number of funding sources including government grants and charitable foundations. Over time, the committee hopes that alumni and charitable funding can be used to provide additional funds for the clinic. Startup cost is estimated at $740,000.

The school already has a number of other clinics, addressing topics such as international development and capital punishment.

Hayti’s residents plead for results HAYTI from page 3

At the meeting, a few residents ofNortheast Central Durham—a neighborhood where Hayti has been working on several housing projects—criticized the company for failing to achieve results. “Pull Hayti’s plug and give it to someone that will do the work,” Debra Davis, a resident of the neighborhood, said. “We need it.”

Council member Jacqueline Wagstaff agreed that Hayti had accomplished little. “The only thing that we can see out of that project is a gravel lot,” she said. “The prostitutes that used to stand on the sidewalk, they can now stand on the gravel lot.”

But Kelly Bryant, who served for several years as a board member of the Durham Business and Professional Chain, said community development is almost never achieved quickly. “It takes a long time to get anything done, and it’s no different now than it was then,” he said.

And Beverly Rose, chair of the Hayti’s board of direc-

tors, said unexpected delays—ranging from leadership turnover to new regulations on lead-based paint—had slowed the nonprofit company’s progress.

“Keep in mind that no other organization has remained faithful to this community,” Rose said, pointing out that Hayti works in areas that Habitat for Humanity and Operation Breakthrough do not.

Still, a few members of the council stressed the need to act quickly.

“It would really behoove us as a council to expedite this as much as possible,” Floyd McKissick said, although he voted in favor of postponing the motion. “This is a neighborhood that desperately needs our help.”

Others, though, said a closer investigation was necessary. “For us tonight to take action that would in effect, yes, cripple that organization would be disastrous, and I just don’t think we’re ready to take that step,” Mayor Pro Tern Howard Clement said. “We have a moral obligation to stand up and support the Hayti Development Corporation.”

This year’s DSG Executive Election demonstrated how our system should work: communication was thorough and organized; candidates were attentive; safeguards to ensure honesty and accuracy were in place; and ultimately, the integrity of the process was upheld. We felt that at this moment of transition and proactive change in our electoral system, it was important to communicate with you directly about our process and rationale.

Thursday night, a group of DSG officials met to tally election results. It was clear that some of the races were close, and the Attorney General and the others gathered consulted our Election By-law to decide if a run-off would take place between CJ Walsh and Sean Young. That night, we interpreted a clause to mean that a candidate must meet both a majority of votes and a 6% margin over his/her opponent for victory; without this, a runoff was declared.

Those assembled at the time agreed with this logic, and in retrospect, made the injudicious choice not to pursue it further.

By 4 a.m. Friday, however, members of the DSG Election Commission who were not present for vote-counting raised concerns about this application of the By-law. The Attorney General convened a meeting for Friday afternoon to resolve the interpretation.

After extensive deliberation, the Commission ruled that DSG’s original understanding, however well-intended, was incorrect. To sustain the uprightness of the process, we remedied the incorrect action. CJ Walsh was declared the legitimate winner of the 2001 DSG Presidential race.

The way that this issue was resolved is a testament to the strength of our electoral process, and to the commitment of our leaders to fulfill our obligation to the student body. The Attorney General and Election Commission are charged with evaluating the process and guaranteeing its fairness and accuracy; this guided our discussions throughout and led us to redress action that may have been misguided.

Last September, we wrote to you, “We are committed to the philosophical principles upon which our student government is based and the very tangible need to run effective elections.” We are proud to have followed through on that promise. We hope that the focus of elections will shift away from anticipating DSG slip-ups, and toward engaging, questioning, and ultimately empowering student leaders.

Best of luck to CJ Walsh and DSG s 2001-2002 leadership.

Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

Decrying death North Carolina should pass a moratorium on its death penalty, especially with the pending execution of a mentally challenged man

It’s

a sad fact that in North Carolina, a man’s intelligence quotient alone may decide whether he lives or dies. The only current legislative bill with a chance ofreigning in the terrible power of capital punishment is one that would ban the state from

executing mentally retarded people for capital crimes.

The proposed state law is small in scope but anti-death penalty advocates have been taking this bill as hope—for the fight against capital punishment and more specifically, for the life of Ernest Paul McCarver.

If not for the actions of the U.S. Supreme Court last Thursday, McCarver —denied clemency by Gov. Mike Easley in his first death penalty decision—would already be dead, transferred from the gurney he was strapped into and buried in the soil of the state that ordered his death. But the Supreme Court intervened and ordered a stay while it decides whether to take the case of a man who, in several IQ tests, has scored at or only slightly above the level of mental retardation While McCarver sits on death row, waiting, the question facing the Supreme Court and the legislators in the North Carolina General Assembly is whether a man with a third-grade reading level can understand the gravity ofhis actions, even if those actions include taking another person’s life.

Furthermore, these branches of government, who have once again been placed in the uncomfortable position of deciding the fate of a fellow human being, must decide if McCarver understood the legal consequences that every aware citizen knows: If you kill someone, you, in return, may be executed. For many advocates of the death penalty, one ofits positive points is the teachable moment that exists each time a criminal is executed. But if a person, by lack of native intellectual capacity, is unable to know this, how can the state consider such a final punishment fair?

The current mental retardation standard would ban the state from executing inmates based on three criteria: IQ level, the ability to function in daily life and demonstrated signs of mental retardation before age 18.

These standards fit with existing national guidelines and the rules of other states, 13 of which have the death penalty but do not execute the mentally retarded.

No state has the right to kill another person, and this legislation is a positive step toward an overall moratorium on the death penalty. Other states have passed moratoriums when they discovered innocent people on death row. Evidence that the death penalty is meted out unfairly to people of color and lower socioeconomic status is another reason why this punishment should be eliminated. Regardless of the final ruling of the Supreme Court in this case, North Carolina must take this example of unfairness as a lesson unto itself and begin the process of eliminating the death penalty for good.

SubstanceJree housing supply should meet demand Duke University claims to want to combat smoking and

underage drinking. Through its substance-free dorm, the University has tried to promote a healthy lifestyle.

However, it has failed to supply a substance-free environment for all those who have requested it.

Duke’s first priority should be providing a better study environment for its students.

We are here to receive our education, not to learn the art of drinking. Unfortunately, the administration is more concerned about balancing the number of sophomores, juniors and seniors.

In January, the residents of Aycock and the 1999-2000 residents of Epworth received e-mails from housing officials informing us they were going to start a substance-free liv-

ing area in Chatham. In this e-mail, we were told we would have preference if we requested it. Ten girls, all from Aycock, were rejected.

Though we felt discouraged, we accepted housing’s decision. Later during the week, some of those girls went to speak with the East Campus housing coordinator about their options. During that meeting, she said there were still 10 beds available for girls. These were not filled and were being made available to the general student body. We were outraged. They had plenty of room to accommodate us freshmen but instead chose to even the number of sophomores with the number of juniors and seniors.

They demonstrated their disingenuousness twice: Once when they said we had prefer-

ence and the second time when they told us they still had space available but were not giving it to us. Housing has many options to accommodate more students who would prefer this type of setting. They could add another building to the substance-free roster or even choose a larger the Considering dorm. demand for substance-free housing, such an action would not be unreasonable.

Should housing do something about it, or should we be punished for choosing a healthy lifestyle? Duke has been trying to improve its alcohol policies on campus.

Taking care of the housing situation would be a big step in the right direction.

ARAMARK does not always live up to its promises ARAMARK is courting Duke in an attempt to take over the dining halls. In a Feb. 23 column, the Claremont Colleges were mentioned as a model for how the food giant works with dining services. As a graduate of the Claremont Colleges (Harvey Mudd College ’00) and a current Duke graduate student, I feel the need to warn the Duke community about ARAMARK’s service.

ARAMARK obtained the

ARAMARK kept the same workers as the old food service and installed its own managers to run the operations. Harvey Mudd is a small community, and stories quickly started coming out about the treatment ofworkers by ARAMARK. Two workers were brave enough to come to a dorm

take to fire them if they knew they were talking to unions or to the students.

The food got worse as time went on. A couple of the faculty who ate regularly at

the dining hall for 30 years said this was the worst they had ever seen. Both they and the administration had stopped hiring ARAMARK for any important school functions. The selection and quality dropped significantly, and many people stopped eating in the dining halls altogether. The food was not even safe; three outbreaks of salmonella affected more than 100 students eating ARAMARK food. The colleges booted ARAMARK after two years.

After being overcharged for terrible food, listening to the scared workers and getting sick multiple times, I have no wish to see ARAMARK destroy Duke’s dining services and working community, too.

Byrd acted like a chicken

Sen. Robert Byrd stood up for what he believed in—and then caved in to political correctness member of the Ku Klux Klan in the days term ‘wigger’ which combines the two attributed to the dumbing-down of polibefore his party stood for the equality of words and sounds much better on televi- tics and culture in America.

Throwing rocks all citizens. He has long since repented sion. To be honest, I really was not fazed In one short day, Byrd proved that for this as he did again on Sunday, and or offended at all by his use of the ‘n-word.’ even a man of his integrity and character at Elvis over Thomas Bowman This past Sunday something compelled me to get up before noon and brave my hangover to watch the talking heads and politicians go at it on the various network news programs. Beyond the regular topics of sketchy pardons and needed tax cuts, “Fox News Sunday” featured a rare interview with the senior senator from West Virginia, Democrat Robert Byrd.

Sen. Byrd is actually one of a handful of Democratic politicians that I admire and respect. I like Byrd for the same reasons I like any public official with whom I do not share a similar ideological philosophy. He is pragmatic and practical, he is realistic and, most importantly, he is real.

Byrd makes no apologies for his beliefs, and he has consistently spoken his mind regardless of the consequences. Politics aside, those are attributes I have learned to respect in any individual regardless of his identity or opinions.

Sadly, it was in this very interview that Sen. Byrd contradicted all of the virtues that made me see him as a fine public servant and a distinguished political voice. It was his comments on race relations in the United States and the subsequent clarification he issued in a post-interview press release that left a memorable mark on last Sunday and on Byrd’s reputation as a straight-talker.

These events changed my Sunday from the usual day of rest and relaxation to a day of action and reflection.

As a young man, Byrd, a conservative Democrat from a border state, was a

the past 30 years, Byrd has assumed a very progressive stance on racial equality in America. This transformation came partly out of a change in personal conviction and partly out of political necessity, as West Virginia has a substantial black population.

Most of Byrd’s comments on race relations were well founded, and he expressed himself sincerely and without hesitation.

I could not have agreed more with the senator when he said, “I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us. I think we can all profit by our mistakes. I think we’ve reached a new plateau, and I think it’s going to keep going upward, that understanding and race relations.”

I did not fully understand what followed, but I thought his words were justifiable when put in the context ofhis overall remarks and viewed in light ofhis age and personal background. Byrd continued, “My old mom told me, ‘Robert, you can’t go to heaven if you hate anybody’ We practice that. There are white niggers.

I’ve seen a lot of white niggers in my time; I’m going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I’d just as soon quit talking about it so much.”

I have read the transcript of the interview a few times to try to comprehend what exactly Byrd was talking about, what he meant by the term Svhite nigger’ and how that pertained to his overall message. Unfortunately, I have been unable to make any sense of those words. I guess he was speaking the language of an 83-yearold former Klansman, and I am pretty sure Byrd is not familiar with the modem

In fact, I was kind of proud of his seemingly contemptuous disregard for that evil force known as political correctness that is all too prevalent in our society.

What I found to be offensive and irresponsible on Byrd’s part was the apology his office released shortly following the taping of the interview last Friday- In a move that contradicted Byrd’s unconventional yet extremely refreshing style that has won him bipartisan acclaim and seven terms in the US. Senate, he issued a press retraction saying, “I apologize for the characterization I used on this program. The phrase dates back to my boyhood and has no place in today’s society.”

This type of blatant political pandering could have been taken from the same slimy Clinton playbook that Byrd himself

4-7.7 -rJ Alt: fh/JUMU

imu/MOl

could easily turn his back on his true feelings and convictions and bow to the pressure ofliberal interest groups when it was in the name of political expediency and electoral security.

Robert Byrd should have been above that sort of behavior, but I guess the seemingly endless Clinton era has lessened even the best of our citizens. You may not agree with Byrd’s original comments, as you may not agree with mine. But as Byrd invoked the advice of his mother to make his point, I will do the same and remind everyone of the words ofAndrew Jackson as passed on to me by my mother; “Stand up for what you believe in even, if you have to stand alone.”

result, I hardly ever copy music anymore. I feel better when I don’t steal from my fellow musicians.

Some Napster users like to call their activity a protest against the high price of CDs or a statement about the future of music distribution online, but let’s be real. How many users are thinking about protest when they download? Not many, I’d wager. More likely, it’s, “How much stuff can I grab before the free ride is over?” This isn’t protest; it’s shoplifting.

Finally, a judge has had the good sense to recognize what should have been obvious from the get-go: Napster, in practice if not in theory, represents a serious breach of copyright law. I realize this opinion won’t someone a make me popular on campus, but frankly, Napster makes me mad.

It’s remarkable how the promise offree stuff blots my out any other consideration from the ethical landscape—specifically, the musician’s point of view. a Musicians who are members of organizations like ASCAP or BMI receive a small royalty for each sale, anymore. ever broadcast or performance of recorded or printed it, of buying music instead music. If you download my you are literally making a dent in that musician’s obtain this music income. Presumably, you want to because you like it and respect the musician. What kind of respect does it show to take a musician s work without paying for it?

ly the same impact as a high-level bootlegging operation. It simply shouldn’t be that easy. The court’s most recent ruling doesn’t make it impossible to trade music online, but it does make it more difficult, as it should be. This is why the decision was correct.

The Napsterites do have a point, though. Internet distribution of music is here to stay and will become only more widespread as high-speed Internet connections become the rule rather than the exception. We must develop ways to ensure that musicians receive their proper royalties for downloaded music. The technology already exists for companies to track the websites that consumers visit and create detailed profiles for niche-marketing schemes. Surely web music services can keep track of the number of times a track or song is downloaded, charge each user for her downloads and submit the numbers to ASCAP and BMI. A pay-per-song service of this sort could even benefit small, nonmainstream music makers like myself.

The cost of making a CD is a major obstacle for most musicians. It would be much cheaper to rent server space from a web music service and publicize the work by web and e-mail. This would foster innovation because the most interesting musicians are often the ones who will never get a major record contract. Using the web, these musicians wouldn’t have to wait until they have a label’s attention—and an album’s worth of material—before releasing it. Also, because less money is at stake, commercial success might be less of an issue; artists could take greater risks without worrying about an entire album flopping.

Musicians have a lot to gain from the web, but only if they have a choice about how it’s used. Free trading services take away that element ofchoice. Because of that, no matter how you spin it, such websites are unethical.

UVa administrator ‘very satisfied’ with ARAMARK ARAMARK from page 1 But Donovan said cost-cutting is a part of business and pleasing everyone is impossible. “It’s one of the peculiarities of the food business,” Donovan said. “I would be less than honest ifI said that all the meals we serve are perfect.... [But] we’re proud of our track record.”

Danny Nelson, a student at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and a dining worker there, said students seem to think there has been a decline in food service since ARAMARK arrived on their campus. “I had low expectations because it was college food, but there has been a definite decline,” he said. “All I eat now is salad, bread, cereal and ice cream.”

At last Wednesday’s meeting, Duke Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst supported ARAMARK’s record, citing his experiences with other schools. “I have been in touch with about 15 service administrators and vice presidents at schools around the South that use ARAMARK There’s overwhelming support there,” he said.

Faculty scrutinize work for cheating I* PLAGIARISM from page 1

Cabe, a professor of management at Rutgers University. “This might suggest that the real problem at the college level is yet to come.”

Just as the Internet might be an. easy way for students to cheat, it has also become an easy resource for professors to catch them. Wallace said she sometimes uses basic search engines like Yahoo and Google to

identify plagiarism.

“Some faculty members have their own computer programs. They can compare two papers or even... generate a report as to how much, what the similarity is, between the two papers,” Wallace said.

Last year, Duke decided not to sign an agreement with Plagiarism.org—an online service that compares student writings to copyrighted and previously submitted works—because it wanted to maintain a certain level of community trust.

Still, the University is considering having a central resource on campus where professors can take papers they suspect of containing plagiarized work.

The company’s treatment of employees is an issue that is particularly sensitive for Duke. Peter RomerFriedman, a labor activist and senior at Yale, said ARAMARK has actively worked against unions. “Low wages, no respect, harassment, no job security—these are just a few of the things ARAMARK provides its workers with,” he said. Michigan recently signed a 10-year contract with the company that refused to recognize the workers’ union and transferred them to other jobs with lower wages, no health insurance and few benefits, he added.

Under ARAMARKs current proposal with Duke, however, dining workers wouldretain their jobs with the University at the same wages and benefits. In addition, dining workers would remain on the University’s payroll and managers would become employees ofthe company.

Dugdale said a similar structure exists at Yale, and that the setup has led to confusion and mismanagement.

“I know that the managers who are ARAMARK employees are really getting treated unfairly” said Dugdale,

NYC Cantina: no velvet ropes here � CANTINA from page 3 but has good food. If I were living in New York, I’d definitely like to get a burrito for $5.”

The new location will probably be about the same size as the Durham location, which is relatively large for New York. “It has a funky layout,” Lyles said. “The contractors in New York are really skilled.”

With late hours, proximity to college students and alcohol, will Cantina become a part of the New York bar scene?

“We’re just going to serve our food and our beer, and if people want to hang out there that’s great,” Lyles said. “There’s never going to be a velvet rope outside, but it could be a drinking place.”

Lyles hopes that Duke alumni living in New York will flock to the new Cantina, and he plans to place fliers in the NYU dorms as well as ads in The Chronicle and newspapers around the new location.

“It will be like Brother Jimmy’s, a Duke bar in New York City where a lot of Duke people go,” said junior Aaron Hart. “It will also be great for Duke students who are in New York'over the summer—Cosmic Cantina is such a Duke entity.”

Lyles said Cosmic Cantina will bring a little bit of Durham to New York. “Coming from North Carolina, Cantina’s gonna crack their brains a little bit,” he said.

And as for future expansion?

“Miami would be great,” Lyles said hopefully.

“Maybe South Beach.”

Hey, you!

Yeah, that’srights You.

adding that employees have often been disciplined for giving out portions that are too big.

Administrators at other schools seemed pleased with ARAMARK’s management style and overall services. Ed Gutauskas, director of dining services at the University of Virginia, said that ARAMARK has run the school’s food services since 1989. “We’re very satisfied. They offer a quality product, a strong management team, quality workers,” Gutauskas said. “They’ve brought in a lot of changes since they’ve come, and my understanding is that the changes have all been positive.”

But Rachel Paccione, chair of the Student Council dining committee at Virginia, said that students there are less than enthusiastic about ARAMARK “I would say that ARAMARK’s food is about average,” she wrote in an e-mail. “It is definitely not something to brag about.

I would not say the quality of food is fantastic, but they do seem to have a wide variety offood.”

Men’s, women’s track compete in ECACs, IC4As Several athletes qualified to advance to the National Indoor meet

By ELIZABETH COLUCCI The Chronicle

Duke’s track and field teams returned from Boston this weekend with another solid series of performances under their belts. In perhaps the most anticipated weekend of the indoor season, the small group of ECAC and IC4A qualifiers competed against the most select talent in the country.

For the women, Jillian Schwartz once again turned heads in the pole vault, claiming her first indoor title and once again breaking her own school record.

Schwartz vaulted 13 feet 5.25 inches, the height that placed her third in the outdoor championship last year. Clearing this height this early in the year lends great promise for the outdoor season. Before beginning the outdoor pole vault season, Schwartz will cap off her indoor streak at the NCAA championship next weekend. She is currently ranked fourth in the nation.

Sophomore Jodi Schlesinger took 14th in the triple jump with a leap of 39 feet six inches, her second-best jump ofthe season. Schlesinger, who has battled injuries this season, also has great prospects for the outdoor season.

Also competing for the Duke women this weekend were two relay teams, both of which faced fierce competition. The women’s 4x400 relay clocked in at its second fastest time of the year, while the distance medley took fourth, crushing the school record by 10 seconds with a time of 11:22.65. Composed of powerhouses Katie Atlas and Sheela Agrawal, as well as Jenna McKie and a recovering Kristen Doody,

the medley team ran a slow heat due to the fact they scratched at their previous attempt to register a time.

Lapping every team in their race, these four women set the standard for the top heat and earned an NCAA provisional qualifying time.

Agrawal in particular delivered an impressive time of 4:41 in her mile anchor leg.

The distance medley team ranks 14th in the nation heading into the national championship. Since only the top 12 teams may compete, women’s coach Jan Samuelson-Ogilvie has decided to temporarily dissolve the relay to

allow Agrawal and Atlas to compete individually at the national tournament.

Samuelson-Ogilvie expressed her satisfaction with the indoor season and was pleased to announce that for the first time in Duke history, at least three Blue Devil women will be compet-

ing in the NCAA championship.

For the men, senior Terry Brennan led the way with a school record-breaking performance in the preliminaries of the 3,000-meter run.

Brennan crossed the finish line with a time of 8:22.17. Teammate Sean Kelly finished two seconds behind. Brennan and Kelly took ninth and 11th places in the finals.

Also noteworthy for the men was the 4xBoo relay, which clocked in at 7:39.49, the fifth fastest in Duke history.

Duke athletes who qualified will travel to Fayetteville Friday to cap off the indoor season at the 2001 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. The Blue Devils will then take a well-earned week off for spring break before they return for the outdoor season.

Williams, Battier nab All-ACC honors McDonald’s game seats on sale Wed. From staff reports Senior forward Shane Battier, sophomore guard Jason Williams and North Carolina guard Joseph Forte were unaminous selections to the Associated Press All-ACC first team, which was announced yesterday. It was the first time since 1961 that there were three unaminous picks to the squad.

The three are expected to vie in the coming weeks for national player of the year and first-team AllAmerica accolades Senior guard Nate James was placed on the third team, and sophomores Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy received honorable mention honors.

The two other members of the first team are Alvin Jones of Georgia Tech and Juan Dixon of Maryland. Dixon and Battier were first-team selections last year. Forte was a Shane Battier member of the second team and the conference’s rookie of the year. Williams was selected to the third team and was honored as the Most Valuable Player of the ACC tournament.

This is the fourth consecutive year Duke has placed at least two players on the first team, and is the 41st consecutive year at least one North Carolina player was

selected to the top squad.

Battier, Duhon honored Senior forward Shane Battier was named co-conference player of the week along with Maryland’s Juan Dixon, and Chris Duhon was named ACC rookie of the week.

The second team is composed of Will Solomon of Clemson, Brendan Haywood of North Carolina, Lonny Baxter of Maryland, Josh Howard of Wake Forest and Travis Watson of Virginia. Solomon and Baxter were first-team selections last year.

The five players selected to the third team include James, Chris Williams and Roger Mason of Virginia, Terence Morris of Maryland and Jason Capel of North Carolina.

The top four teams in the ACC standings—Duke, North and Maryland Carolina, Virginia—dominated the voting, as each placed three members on the all-star teams, filling 12 of the 15 slots. N.C. State and Florida State did not have a single player selected, while Solomon was Clemson’s only representative.

Jason Williams Williams was second in the ACC in both scoring and assists and scored at least 25 points in 13 games.

Battier was in the top 10in scoring, rebounding, fieldgoal percentage, three-point field-goal percentage, blocked shots and steals.

Forte led the ACC in scoring with 22 points per game and proved to be UNC’s go-to player in several tight games this year.

From staff reports Tickets for undergraduate and graduate students for the March 28 McDonald’s All-American High School Basketball Game go on sale tomorrow morning at the McDonald’s franchise on the second floor of the Bryan Center.

Franchise owner Ric Richards procured 200 center-court, student-section seats for students and has the option to obtain more if students demonstrate sufficient interest. Tickets are $3O, and students can use food points to pay for them.

The McDonald’s game is the premier high school all-star game in the country and is televised on ESPN. Former McDonald’s All-Americans with ties to Duke include Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, Shane Battier and Jason Williams.

This year’s team includes Duke signee Daniel Ewing, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Houston.

Scouts describe Ewing as an intelligent, versatile wing player with the ability to create his own shot at the collegiate level.

Also making the team is power forward Ousmane Cisse, who has not yet decided on a college but lists Duke as a potential option.

All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Carolina.

Parent’s scrappy defense motivates Duke Matyasovsky proves courage under fire Even when it became-apparent GREENSBORO to all but the most diehard N.C. State fans that last night’s ACC tournament championship game had slipped out ofreach, the unofficial MVP was still diving on the floor and fighting for loose balls in the final minute just as she has done all season.

Brody Greenwald Game Commentary Although Georgia Schweitzer was named the Most Valuable Player of the ACC tournament, the main reason Duke emerged victorious was the selfless play of senior Rochelle Parent in a defensive slugfest against the Wolfpack. Parent scored 15 points all tournament—12 fewer than Schweitzer did in Friday night’s opener—but the game-changing impact she had against N.C. State’s leading scorer, Carisse Moody, was impossible to miss.

After holding Moody to nine points on 26 percent shooting, Parent did not get to cut the first string of the net at Greensboro Coliseum. She did, however, ignite the late-game celebration on the Blue Devils’ sideline with a play that was as characteristically Parent as cutting down nets has become characteristically Duke. With the Wolfpack down by 10 points and 1:15 remaining on the clock, N.C. State’s Adeola Olanrewaju hauled down a rebound of Sheana Mosch’s miss, but the ball did not stay in her hands for long.

Soon it was ripped into the long arms of Parent, who dished to Michele Matyasovsky who touch-passed over to Mosch for a championship-clinching field goal that left coach Gail Goestenkors and Duke’s bench in a state of elation.

On the next trip down the floor for N.-C. State, with the game in hand for Duke, Parent dove to the floor for a loose ball off a missed free throw. When she hit the deck, Parent was surrounded by Wolfpack opponents; still, no one doubted that it would be Parent, lying on the floor amidst a pile of red jerseys, who wouldrise from the pack with the ball, and the game, safely tucked away.

They were only two plays—one of her two steals and one of her eight defensive rebounds—but they were two of the many reasons Parent finished on the All-toumament first team along with Alana Beard, who shut down Tynesha Lewis, N.C. State’s best outside shooter. Lewis scored only four points against Beard, who sealed off the perimeter and tormented Lewis into an O-for-4 night from three-point range.

“I feel like Alana and Ro both played great defense; They were great individual efforts, but they knew their team was behind them when they needed it,” Goestenkors said.

Together, Moody and Lewis managed to miss 20 field goals, stalling N.C. State’s offense for what at times seemed like an eternity between successful baskets. Without the scoring ability of the two players who account for more than 40 percent of the Wolfpack’s offense, N.C. State had almost no chance against Duke.

Led by the one-on-one efforts of Parent and Beard, the

Blue Devils dumped season-lows on the Wolfpack for both point total (45) and field-goal percentage (27.8).

Those were numbers that Duke desperately needed on a night when the range was not there for Schweitzer, Mosch or even Beard, who scored most of her game-high 18 points from within a couple feet of the basket or from the free-throw line.

“I would have said that if we held Duke to less than 60 points, we would have an awesome chance of winning this game,” N.C. State coach Kay Yow said.

But that was not the case last night, as the Wolfpack scored only nine points in the first 11-plus minutes of the game and only six points in the first 10 minutes of the second half.

Much of the reason for that stand was the defense of Parent, who buckled down to deliver a performance that dominated a game that was appropriately reminiscent of Duke’s tri-captain herself. Like Parent, last night’s tournament championship was not flashy nor packed with offensive punch, but it was classic for all the reasons that so often go overlooked.

“I’m sure it wasn’t pretty, but anyone who appreciates basketball can appreciate what a great game it was,” Goestenkors said.

And anyone who appreciates basketball can appreciate what a great game Parent had.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle Michele Matyasovsky passed GREENSBORO

the test.

Not only did the sophomore make the ACC tournament’s second team, she also solidified her status as a starter on the ACC’s regular-season and tournament championship team. Only a couple of weeks after starting for the Blue Devils in lieu of a sick Iciss Tillis, Matyasovksy has become a dominant force on the court, while Tillis remains mired in a slump.

Matyasovksy joined Georgia Schweitzer —named the tournament’s most valuable player—Alana Beard and Rochelle Parent, who were all tournament selections.

The only starter not to be specifically mentioned on the all-tournament accolades was Sheana Mosch, who contributed important post defense against N.C.

State in the championship game.

Matyasovksy played 32 minutes against the Wolfpack, not always dominating the post, but contributed her share in limiting N.C. State’s Carisse Moody to 4-for-15 shooting and only eight rebounds.

Matyasovsky’s last outing against N.C. State in Raleigh was good for nine minutes of action, in which time she took one shot. She missed.

A comparison with last night’s performance shows drastic improvement.

All season long, coach Gail Goestenkors has pulled improvement after improvement out of her magic hat. First, it was Mosch’s mid-season scoring spree; then it was Rometra Craig’s perimeter defense; now it is the development of a post game. At the center of that is Matyasovsky.

The parity among the players in last night’s championship is a hopeful sign as the Blue Devils head into the NCAAs and the fight for a national championship. The first two rounds of the tournament were all about the seniors, while the championship game was about the entire team.

“I think it was nice to see our young players step up today,” Goestenkors said. “I think in the first game they were very, very nervous and that’s when our seniors really took charge. [Saturday] I thought they played a lot better, but still we relied a lot on Georgia and Rochelle. [Yesterday] I felt they kind of hit their comfort zone.”

Hopefully, Matyasovsky and the rest of the team will remain in that comfort zone. While the regularseason championship and ACC tournament championship are sweet rewards, it will take all the skill, determination and comfort Duke has to end its season with another championship.

Beard leads Duke with 18 points; Schweitzer named MVP � CHAMPIONSHIP from page 1 Leading scorer Alana Beard stole the show on the ACC’s biggest stage, cutting her way through the N.C. State defense for a game-high 18 points and making a non-factor out ofthe Wolfpack’s Tynesha Lewis, a second-teamAll-ACC performer.

“Alana played a great game tonight,” Goestenkors said. “After the first game, she told me she wanted to pressure the ball more, so we let her and she did a great job on Lewis.”

The first time the Blue Devils won the ACC championship, it took them 24 years to do it. The second time took exactly 10 minutes.

Unlike last year’s 79-76 thriller with North Carolina, settled in an offensive showdown between Missy West and tournament MVP Nikki Teasley, this year’s championship was decided when Duke’s highoctane offense ran N.C. State out of the building.

Duke scored on seven of its first eight possessions, while N.C. State committed six consecutive turnovers during a 25-9 Blue Devil run to open the game that gave Goestenkors’ team all the breathing room it needed.

“They scored on their first [six] possessions, that put us in a hole,” Lewis said. “They did a great job moving the ball up and down the court. By the time we settled down, we were catching up.”

And when the ACC’s top-ranked offense finally fal-

tered against a stingy N.C. State defense, it was theBlue Devils’ defensive work that kept the Wolfpack at bay.

Double and often triple-teamed inside, N.C. State was forced to rely on its outside game, which was nonexistent without Lewis. The Wolfpack shot a seasonlow 25 percent from the floor and scored just 22 points

in the paint. Duke’s win avenged a surprise loss in Raleigh earlier in the season, a game in which the Wolfpack was able to push the Blue Devils around.

This time, it was Duke that did all the pushing.

“We knew going in because of the success we had in the paint, they’d try to take it away,” said N.C. State’s Kay Yow, who was coaching her first ACC championship game in 10 seasons. “Unfortunately, they played great defense and a lot of our open shots didn’t go down. That made for a long night.”

Sophomore Michele Matyasovsky, a non-factor in the first two meetings, scored a career-high 14 points and helped offset a sub-par night for tournament MVP Georgia Schweitzer, who finished with nine.

The Blue Devils’ senior class also broke its top-seed curse with the win. In 1998 and 1999, Duke entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed only to lose in the semifinals each year. Duke was a two-seed behind Virginia during last season’s championship run.

“I was thinking about that before the game,” Schweitzer said. “We definitely wanted to break that.”

The win puts the Blue Devils in strong contention for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, which after Georgia’s SEC championship and stunning upset of Tennessee, seems to be anybody’s call.

“I have to believe we are a No. 1,” Goestenkors said.

“With the ACC being as tough as it is and with our run through this tournament and the big out-of-conference wins, I have to believe we’ve earned it.”

With a week before selection Sunday, the NCAA tournament committee has plenty of time to think about it. And Goestenkors has plenty of time to warm up her arms.
