The Chronicle TIP leader Duke rushes Ast Kareem, Mizzou dies after bike crash

By EVAN DAVIS The Chronicle

Their 94 GREENSBORO situations could not have Missouri 81 been more different.

On one side was Duke, the East region’s seed who had rocked the 16th-seedEd Mo 'vuth Hawks in the opening round, preva 95-52. The Blue Devils’ opponent, No. 9 —‘uri, had barely squeaked out a two-po over eighth-seeded Georgia.

Once the game started, however, no that mattered. What did matter were the next 40 minutes, and when the dust settled, the Blue Devils, led by sophomore sensation Jason Williams’ game-high 31 points and senior tri-captain Shane Battier’s floor leadership, had knocked off the Tigers, 94-81.

“Duke and Missouri played a hell of a game today” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. ‘Their game plan... put the game at a pace that was tremendous.”

Missouri came flying out of the gate, holding the Blue Devils to only eight points in the game’s first eight minutes while opening up a six-point lead. The Tigers’ key players—sophomore Kareem Rush and junior Clarence Gilbert—combined to score 16 oftheir team’s first 19 points. Rush, who finished the day with 29 points, was 11-for-23 from the field and 5-for-8 from threepoint range.

“He’s a great player,” Krzyzewski said of Rush, who announced after the game that he would return to Missouri for his junior season. “He’s a beautiful player to watch and I would have loved to coach him.”

Duke sophomore Mike Dunleavy joined his coach in praising the Missouri forward.

Kenneth “Ramon” Griffin, a passionate and Respected Talent Identification Program administrator with a love for athletics and a commitment to community service, died Wednesday evening from injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident that afternoon. He was 41.

Griffin, associate director of TIP, reportedly drove his car to work last Wednesday, but went home at lunch to get his 1991 Honda motorcycle so he could enjoy the good weather. On his way back to work at 1:29 p.m., Griffin was rid-

ing his motorcycle southbound on Guess Road when a northbound Plymouth van suddenly turned left in front of him. The van was turning into a parking lot near Garland Street. The motorcycle struck the passenger side of the van.

Griffin suffered upper-body injuries and died later that evening at Duke Hospital. Neither the van’s driver, Javier Sanchez of Durham, nor its passengers were injured. Durham’s Traffic Accident Control team is investigating the crash.

In the mid-80s, Griffin worked in Duke’s Public Safety division. He reSee GRIFFIN on page 13 &

Battier adds Naismith to resume

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

The awards keep piling up for senior forward Shane Battier.

After being named a first-team Academic All-American, snatching the ACC tournament’s Most Valuable Player award and capturing multiple national honors in recent weeks, Battier garnered the Naismith College Basketball Player of the Year award Tuesday, Battier succeeds last year’s winner Kenyon Martin, a forward from Cincinnati. The honor was bestowed upon Duke’s senior by a panel of prestigious coaches, journalists and administrators organized by the Atlanta Tip-Off Club.

As the recipient of this year’s award, Battier becomes the fifth Duke player to be recognized with this distinguished accomplishment, joining such Blue Devil greats as Johnny Dawkins, Danny Ferry, Christian Laettner and Elton Brand. However, Battier is the only Duke player—and for that matter, the only Naismith recipient ever—to have been honored by the Tip-Off Club twice, as he won the high school player of the year accolade as a senior at Detroit Country Day School.

“I am very honored to receive the Naismith Award,” Battier in a statement Tuesday. “I am proud of the fact that I hold high standards for myself both on the court and in the classroom, It is a tremendous honor to be mentioned with some of the great P layers who have previously earned this prestigious award, ineluding several from Duke.”

News of the award came only hours after he, his teammates and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski held a pre-NCAA tournament press conference last Tuesday. Battler’s performance in the ACC tournament—where he was named the tourney’s most valuable Xplayer—was among the major topics of discussion for Krzyzewski. iKrzyzewski praised his senior tri-captain for a record-breaking See NAISMITH in SportSWTap, page 11

Ninety passengers were injured;

By GREG SMITH Associated Press An Amtrak NODAWAY, lowa train carrying 210 people from Chicago to California derailed in rural lowa, killing one passenger, injuring about 90 others and leaving a zigzagging trail of silver cars along a muddy embankment.

At least seven of the injured passengers were hospitalized, and dozens of others were treated and released from area hospitals after suffering minor injuries. Some crew members sustained minor injuries, an Amtrak spokesperson said.

The cause of the crash about 11:40 p.m. Saturday 70 miles southwest of Des Moines was unknown.

Terry Williams, a spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board, said investigators were gathering details on the scene.

The California Zephyr’s two locomotives and 15 cars were carrying 195 passengers and 15 crew members, Amtrak spokesperson said. Amtrak Debra Hare spokesperson Karen Dunn said company policy forbids it from releasing the victim’s name and a list of passengers.

Charlie Romstad of Colorado

Springs, Colo., said the passenger killed was his mother, Stella Riehl, 69, also of Colorado Springs.

Romstad, 46, said his mother

came to Des Moines last week be-

cause her brother, who was living in a Des Moines nursing home, had died.

“We picked up the ashes on Saturday. She was taking them back to Colorado Springs when the accident happened,” Romstad said.

Amtrak spokesperson Cheryle Jackson said at an Omaha, Neb., news conference that the victim was a passenger but she could not

immediately confirm the person’s identity.

The scene of the wreckage stretched about one-fourth of a mile. Workers began picking up debris near the tipped-over cars, some of which formed a V-shape along the tracks. *

By LOUIS UCHITELLE

New York Times News Service

After a week of plunging stock prices, the Federal Reserve will meet Tuesday to decide how much to cut interest rates in an effort to revive the economy just when a falling stock market seems to have the power to bring on a recession.

No one doubts that Alan Greenspan, the Fed’s chairman, and his fellow policy makers will reduce the federal funds rate from its current level of 5.5 percent when they gather in Washington. The question is can a big enough rate cut keep the 10-year-old expansion rolling.

Many on Wall Street are lobbying for a cut of threequarters of a percentage point, or even more, to stop

“What I am concerned about is that we are heading into the unknown because of the stock market,” said lan Shepherdson, chief domestic economist at High Frequency Economics, who favors a reduction of threequarters of a percentage point. “We have never had so big a decline in stock prices at a time when they were so widely held.”

The debate over how far the Fed should go to reduce short-term interest rates —thus influencing what lenders charge for mortgages, home equity loans and other credit—reflects sharply different views of the stock market’s impact on the economy.

Scientists pursue vaccine for HIV

PAGES

Living with AIDS

At universities across the country—including Duke—researchers continue the quest to find a vaccine that could prevent or contain the virus that causes AIDS.

By JULIA CONNORS The Chronicle

In the year 2000, an estimated 5.3 million people were newly infected with HIV, and researchers around the country struggled to find an HIV vaccine. From San Francisco to Boston to Durham, the struggle continues as researchers try to find away to either prevent or contain the virus.

At the University of California at San Francisco, Dr. James Kahn, associate clinical professor of medicine and associate director of the AIDS program at San Francisco General Hospital, is currently receiving funding from VaxGen, a private company devoted to the prevention and eradication of the HIV virus.

The company says it has the only vaccine that has made it to human testing. The vaccine is called GPI2O, because it consists of a glycoprotein with 120 amino acids.

The vaccine mimics the outer envelope of HIV, so when an antibody binds to the vaccine’s coating, it should elicit an immune response as though it were reacting to the virus itself.

VaxGen is currently testing the vaccine on 5,400 people in the United States and Canada and 2,500 people in Thailand. Most of the subjects are high-risk for contracting HlV—the. pool consists primarily offemale prostitutes and gay men who regularly engage in unsafe sex.

The subjects will be monitored regularly over the next several years to see if the vaccine will prevent them from becoming infected with HIV. VaxGen is using a North American-Thai strain of the virus, and if the vaccine proves effective, the company will begin working on vaccines to prevent other strains.

In Boston, Dr. Norman Letvin, professor of medicine at Harvard University, is using funding from the National Institutes of Health to develop another potential vaccine. In studies of both people and monkeys, he has found that a specific type of T-cell lymphocyte is capable of killing HIV-infected cells.

“We’ve seen that when these lymphocytes are eliminated from the immune system, there is a masSee HIV VACCINE on page 14

This

month, the distance between Africa and

Duke will be a little smaller when Hart Fellows and Duke alumni Craig Cohen, Trinity ’96, and Noah Hendler, Trinity ’95, present a documentary that focuses on Africa and AIDS. The exhibit features Cohen’s interviews and Hendler’s photographs of a Malawi village. The result of more than two years of cumulative work, the exhibit tries to spotlight the more human side of the AIDS crisis. “A lot of what we see in the [mainstream] media tends to focus on calamity—it’s sensational,” Cohen said. “I think that creates more distance.”

Citing a recent example of African AIDS coverage in Time magazine, Cohen emphasized the role of the media in portraying infected people as pure victims.

“All they saw was the famine,” said Cohen, who now works at the Center for Documentary Studies.

“The photos were of very thin people... just focusing completely on the death and the dying. There are people living with AIDS. That’s what our project has tried to focus on all along.”

Cohen, a leader of the FOCUS program Human-

itarian Challenges at Home and Abroad, hopes to take the exhibit and transpose the experience into book form. The book is tentatively titled “Shadow of Silence: A Story of AIDS.” “An exhibit comes and goes,” Cohen said. “We want to make something more lasting.”

Alex Harris, a professor of the practice at the CDS, is editing the work. “What’s so interesting about this project is that these are two postgraduates that came into their work right out of college,” said Harris, who led the FOCUS program with Cohen. “These students were immediately getting engaged in one of the most important world problems of today, using, in part, the skills they learned as Duke students.”

These skills included documentary fieldwork techniques like interviews, photojournalism and an acute awareness of the documentarians’ point of view.

This exhibit marks the start of a two-part series focusing on AIDS in Africa. The second installment debuts in April and will center on interSee AIDS DOCUMENTARY on page 5 �

The Cohen-Hendler project was born in 1996, when the duo learned about the Hart Fellowship from their professors.

The Hart program sends budding anthropologists, journalists and documentary filmmakers overseas for humanitarian causes.

Cohen and Hendler first traveled to Rwanda, where they began to focus on children orphaned from the genocide of civil war.

Because of additional support from Save the Children, Cohen and Hendler stayed for nine months to finish their documentary project.

Beaty denied all three requests. “The Court concludes that the weight of the evidence supports the jury’s verdict and that the actions taken against Plaintiff were motivated because ofher gender and that Defendant’s officials were actually aware of and deliberately indifferent to Plaintiff’s claim that [then-head football coach Fred Goldsmith] was discriminating against her because of her gender,” Beaty wrote. “Moreover, the Court finds that there is no reason to believe that the jury’s verdict was tainted or motivated by passion, sympathy or prejudice, rather than by objective considerations.”

Mercer, who first filed suit in 1997, said she was treated differently from male members of the football team. In 1995, she kicked the game-winning field goal in the annual Blue-White scrimmage, and Goldsmith announced she was a part of the team.

But in the fall of that year, Goldsmith placed Mercer on the team’s inactive roster, a list created specifically for her. In addition, unlike other team members, Mercer was not invited to play on the scout team, and she was prohibited from dressing out for home games. The University has maintained that it was Mercer’s kicking ability—not her gender—that motivated Goldsmith.

Mercer said she hopes to use the award money to create a scholarship for young female athletes. ¥

Marine Lab receives S3M for endowed professorships � NEWS BRIEFS from page 4 still occur after surgery” Newman said in a statement. “We’re very excited to be able to work with other institutions across the world to improve the operative outcomes for our patients.”

The LARS, founded in 1922 to promote anesthesiology research, is based in Cleveland and publishes the journal

Anesthesia and Analgesia.

Marine Lab gets S3M gift: The Duke University Marine Laboratory has received $3 million from the Oak Foundation for two endowed professorships in marine conservation biology and marine affairs and policy, the University announced last week. “[The gift] will provide wonderful support for our new strategic plan,

which targets environmental solutions

as one of Duke’s major initiatives over the next five years,” President NanKeohane said in a statement.

The donation was made possible by the recommendation of Kristian Parker, an Oak Foundation board member who studied at the marine lab and received his Ph.D. in environmental sciences at Duke last year.

The new gift will be put to use im-

mediately because the foundation agreed to pay for salary costs for professors before the endowment funds fully mature. “Our gift is designed to give the marine lab the flexibility it needs to grow and enrich marine science education and research,” Parker said in a statement.

The Oak Foundation, with offices in Boston, Geneva and Zimbabwe, is dedi-

cated to global issues of social and environmental concern.

Duke taps new Fuqua Europe dean: The University has named

Robert Ashton, Martin L. Black Jr. professor of business administration, as the new dean of the Fuqua School of Business Europe.

He will begin his term at the Frankfurt campus July 1, succeeding long-time Fuqua dean Thomas Keller. “[Robert Ashton is] a fine scholar and faculty leader whose research and engagement in international business equip him well to lead Duke’s exciting new campus in Frankfurt,” Keohane said in a statement.

Ashton’s research focuses on strategic cost management, corporate performance evaluation, shareholder value creation and the measurement of intellectual capital.

His appointment comes just months after Fuqua named Douglas Breeden its new dean.

Leydon leaving: Vice Provost for Information Technology Betty Leydon will step down from her post this June to join the Princeton University administration as its next vice president for information technology and chief information officer. Leydon came to Duke in 1994 and helped establish the Office of Information Technology. She has focused on planning efforts for computing, networking and telecommunication on campus.

Hospital names operations chief:

Robert Clapp, who has been at Duke for five years, was appointed chief operating officer of Duke Hospital last week.

Clapp has served as associate vice chancellor of the Medical Center, associate vice president of Duke University Health System and interim COO of the

hospital.

The Durham native has also served as a chief executive officer and regional vice president for operations with Tenet Healthcare Corp., a California-based hospital company.

Faculty named finalists: Two

Duke professors—Director of the Center for French and Francophone Studies Alice Kaplan and Professor of History Alexander Keyssar—have been named finalists in the history category for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.

Kaplan, also a professor of romance studies and literature, could receive the prize for her work, “The Collaborator: The Trial and Execution of Robert Braillach.” Keyssar, also a professor of public policy, was nominated for his work, “The Right to Vote: The Contested History of Democracy in the United States.” The announcement of the award winners, who receive $l,OOO for the prestigious prize, will take place April 28.

Kaplan and Keyssar were two of 45 finalists announced two weeks ago.

Holloway named to Pratt post:

The University has named Russell Holloway associate dean for corporate and industrial relations at the Pratt School of Engineering.

Holloway was appointed to Duke’s staff in November, but his new title was just established. In this newly created post, Holloway will work to promote industrial awareness among students and faculty.

Among other things, he will develop summer internships for undergraduates and cooperative programs for master’s students.

In addition, Holloway will help the school generate industrial research and technical interactions and support. He will oversee the creation of an industrial technology transfer program.

Before joining Duke, Holloway was director ofinformation processing at the Roses Stores Division of Variety Wholesalers, Inc. He received his master of arts degree from Duke,

lescents means a place free from violence, harassment and drugs. For others though, safe schools are also free from commercialism and caffeine.

Pressured by criticism that the companies’ business pursuits caused the overcommercialization of schools and contributed to obesity and hyperactivity of students, The Coca-Cola Company, which produces all Coca-Cola products, outlined new policy for distribution in schools last week The initiative that could have the largest impact on schools is a push to discourage the exclusive deals that many schools enter in with soda bottlers—most of which return a share of profits to the schools.

Opponents of such contracts claim that a school’s consent to offer only one brand of soft drink serves as a school’s endorsement of a certain brand.

But schools already make exclusive contracts with many providers—from milk producers to pencil manufacturers. By doing so, schools can bargain for good prices and acquire services targeted to their needs. And in the case of soft-drink manufacturers, schools can gain millions of dollars to augment their general operating and construction funds.

Just this month, the Wake County school system signed a fiveyear contract making Pepsi its sole vendor and making the district a little bit richer. The system’s financial officer says Pepsi will give the system $1 million the first year, $525,000 each of the next four years and the schools will receive a 42 percent commission for each drink sold.

In the end, it is more important that schools get the resources they need to provide a good education than to get a school free of advertisements. Besides, by the early teens, most people have already chosen their brand of choice, and worries that in-school advertisements have substantial, long-term effects on consumption are short-sighted.

Coca-Cola also presented two other initiatives: the introduction of juices, teas, water and vitamin-enriched drinks to Coke vending machines and the removal of advertisements from the machines.

The first of these ideas sounds like a win-win situation—since The Coca-Cola Company already makes these products, sodas can be conveniently replaced, profits can remain consistent and students can be more healthy.

The second initiative, however, will do little more than calm parents’ nerves. Students know which brands they like and will not be discouraged from drinking sodas by banning brand emblems.

Advertisements do not harm the educational process, and as long as Coca-Cola’s and Pepsi’s involvement in public schools stays on billboards and in the cafeteria, then schools will benefit from these corporate partnerships.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Both Duke and Arkansas are small inside, but while the Lady Razorback players are smaller than most of the Blue Devils, they play very physically in the post.

Arkansas is led inside by the duo of all-SEC freshman Shameka Christon and senior Lonniya Bragg, but the pair’s offense should be quelled by Duke’s defense.

H

Guards Wendi Willits, Amy Wright and Dana Cherry are good, but Duke’s Georgia Schweitzer and Alana Beard are both playing exceptional basketball of late.

Beard will not have as easy a time with Wright as she had with Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Teri Stoltenberg, but expect a few robberies to take place tonight.

Both teams go eight and even 10 players deep at times, but while the Razorbacks’ reserves are experienced and fit, they do not offer much in the way of offense. In fact, only one non-starter, senior Celia Anderson, scored in Arkansas’ first-round win Saturday over Baylor.

Schweitzer pointed out the comfort level the Blue Devils feel in playing at home, but the Lady ’Backs are confident and remember beating Duke in the 1998 NCAA tournament to get to the Final Four. Then as now, Arkansas was the ninth-seeded team in the West region—an improbable Final Four participant.

MATT KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

Ready to Rumble With the opening round out of the way, the Blue Devils are set to battle Arkansas, which upended eighth-seeded Baylor Saturday in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Despite their losing conference record, the Razorbacks are one of the more dangerous teams in the nation, especially for a nine seed.

For complete coverage of Duke’s win over 16th-seeded Milwaukee-Wisconsin, see page 7

m EVEN

In the press room after Arkansas’ win over Baylor, Wright answered a reporter doubting the Lady Razorbacks’ excitement by saying that she and her teammates would be excited “after we beat Duke.” Arkansas will give Duke a regional-final caliber game but will ultimately come up short as Schweitzer and Beard continue their honor-worthy play.

disappointing sth finishes golf Men’s for

Duke rallies another victory

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Gone are the days of a superstar for the Blue Devils.

For the past two years, Duke was fueled by top-heavy lineups that included former greats Jenny Chuasiriporn and Beth Bauer. Their respective departures in 1999 and 2000 changed everything about the women’s golf team everything except its remarkable knack for winning.

No. 1 Duke no longer has a dominant player consistently at the top of the leaderboard, but it has nonetheless steamrolled its competition this season with one of the most pared lineups in college golf. In its latest display of team talent, Duke erased a two-stroke deficit on the final day of play to storm back for a five-stroke victory over Georgia yesterday at the Lady Gamecock Classic. More remarkable than the comeback, however, was that no Blue Devil finished more than eight strokes apart from any teammate after three days ofintense golf.

“The thing I liked most about this [weekend] was that we moved our pack of scores closer together,” said coach Dan Brooks, whose players ranged from a team-low 220 by sophomore Kristina Engstrom to 228 by freshman Leigh Anne Hardin. “We need to think in terms of a pack. That’s the neatest thing about our team—we can talk about any person on this team winning any given tournament.”

The Blue Devils overpowered Georgia by seven strokes in the final round of golf, soaring to the tournament title behind Engstrom’s team-best score of 71. Duke finished the par-72 course at the University Club in Blythewood, S.C. with a three-day total of 887.

All five Blue Devils placed in the tournament’s top 14, but only Engstrom challenged for the individual title. Engstrom fired her best round of the tournament yesterday to shoot her up to third in the final standings. She has yet to win an individual championship this season, but Engstrom’s coach said that may change in the near future.

“Kristina is really starting to reap some of the benefits of her hard work on her short game,” Brooks said. “She almost won this weekend, and I think we’ll see a win from her soon.”

Duke trailed by four strokes after the first day, but the Blue Devils gradually trimmed Georgia’s advantage.

Behind terrific second rounds from junior Candy Hannemann and senior Kalen Anderson, Duke cut Georgia’s lead in half heading into the final round. The Blue Devils then demonstrated why they still hold the nation’s top ranking as they finished with the second-lowest total in the history of the Lady Gamecock Classic.

By ANDREW GREENFIELD The Chronicle

It is just a matter of time That’s all men’s golf coach Myers had to say about his team’s slow start to the spring season.

This past week the Blue Devils competed in the Seminole Intercollegiate where they finished in fifth place, 27 strokes behind tournament winner and ACC rival Virginia. Individual honors were captured by Virginia’s Steve Marino.

The tournament was played at the par-72, 6,869-yard Golden Eagle Country Club, where considerable rain on the eve of day one made the course play much longer.

“We are having trouble putting a finger on what our problem is,” Myers said. “This tournament was a good indication of where we’re at. We still have a lot of improving to do, but we are not far from it.

“We were the highest nationally ranked team in the field, so we are obviously disappointed with our fifth-place finish.”

One of the troubles for Duke this spring has been the inconsistent play of its top golfer, Matt Krauss.

The junior continued his struggles in Tallahassee, shooting two mediocre rounds 75-76 before firing a final-round even-par 72 to finish tied for 23rd.

Duke was led by sophomore Leif Olson, but like Krauss, Olson struggled through his second round, which was plagued by large numbers—something uncharacteristic of both golfers. Olson fired rounds of 71-76-73 to finish at 4-over-par 220 and tie for 12th.

Myers realizes that for theBlue Devils to improve and contend in future tournaments, both Krauss and Olson must find their form from a season ago.

“If we want to have a chance to win golf tournaments we need to have individuals in position to win golf tournaments,” Myers said. “Matt and Leif are both outstanding players. It will come.”

Seniors Kevin Streehnan and Paul Tucker both showed flashes of great play over the three rounds, but were also unable to evade high scores. Tucker had a tough first round of 78, but the senior rebounded to play his last two rounds at 1-under to finish in a tie for 15that 5-over.

Streehnan shot rounds of 73-76-73 to also finish in a tie for 15th.

“This is a five-man team and we need everyone to be in sync,” Myers said. “We will spend the next few days trying to find someone to take the fifth spot and preparing for the next event.”

This weekend the Blue Devils travel to Statesboro, GA for the Schenkel Invitational.

A LONG TIME HAS since Duke hosted the NCAA Fall Preview last semester.

Since the beginning of the spring season, the men’s golf team has encountered some difficult outings. This past weekend, the Blue Devils finished fifth at the Seminole Intercollegiate despite entering with the highest national ranking of any team in the field.

Duke romps Brown by 6 goals at home

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

Behind the outstanding play of starting attackmen Greg Patchak, Alex Lieske and Mack Hardaker, the No. 11 Duke lacrosse team soundly defeated 12th-ranked Brown 16-10 Saturday, improving to 5-2 on the season. In leading Duke to its first victory over a nationally ranked opponent this season, the attack triumvirate combined to score 12 goals, including five each from Patchak and Hardaker.

“Our attack really came through today,” head coach Mike Pressler said. “We were starving for a win around here. We were 42, but I told the guys we were 0-2 [because! we didn’t have a win

IN A NAIL-BITING CONTEST, Duke’s women’s lacrosse team edged past the Tar Heels Saturday at Koskinen Stadium.

Women’s lax beats UNC

By ELIZABETH COLUCCI The Chronicle

All of Koskinen Stadium held its breath Saturday.

An intense 60-minute battle between the fourth-ranked women’s lacrosse team (3-1, 1-1 in the ACC) and the eighthranked Tar Heels (3-3, 0-2) was decided in the last 30 seconds of play. A stroke of luck and a sneaky shot would seal the victory for Duke, however. After capitalizing on a Carolina crease violation, Duke sophomore Lauren Gallagher weaved her way through a defensive blockade and slipped the ball into the top corner of the net, finalizing Duke’s 10-9 win.

Though head coach Kristen Kimel was very happy with the improvement in the teams play, especially defensively, she stressed the importance of learning from mistakes.

“It was a hard fought, tough played game,” Kimel said. “We have to learn from our breakdowns. We play a very tight schedule this season and can’t afford to make some of the errors we made today.”

Although the Tar Heels opened the game by quickly racking up two goals, their luck ran out after the first two minutes of play. Duke’s Kelly

Dirks responded to Carolina’s two-goal wakeup call at the 27-minute mark, finding the net after a breakaway pass from Gallagher. Dirks claimed her second goal two minutes later on a free-position shot.

The Tar Heels did not see the lead the rest of the game. A streak of four goals contributed by Gallagher, Claire Sullivan, Franny Gordon and Meghan Miller widened the scoring gap to 6-2

against a ranked opponent.”

Duke’s previous two contests against ranked foes resulted in bitterly disappointing losses to Maryland and Loyola, the nation’s third and fifth-ranked teams, respectively. Last weekend’s loss to Loyola proved especially disappointing, as the Blue Devils squandered a multitude of scoring opportunities and lost 10-8 to the visiting Greyhounds. The defeat prompted a team meeting and a renewed focus towards the basics of lacrosse, a mindset that led to Duke’s impressive victory Saturday.

“I think we just played fundamentally sound today,” said Kevin Cassesse, a midfielder who contributed two goals to Duke’s scoring onslaught. “The coaches brought us together after the Loyola game, showed us the film, and showed us exactly what we have to do [to win]. We went out in practice and concentrated on stick work and shooting, on all the fundamentals, and used [last week] to get better.”

Hardaker concurred with his teammate.

“This week we had our best offensive practice,” he said. “When you practice well, you win. It’s as simple as that.”

The team’s hard work produced clear dividends Saturday, as the Blue Devils blew Brown away early with an awesome offensive display. After allowing an opening goal to the Bears’ Christopher Muccioli, the Blue Devils scored the game’s next 11 goals to seize an 111 halftime advantage. Duke talked eight goals in the second quarter alone, including seven in a dizzying seven-minute stretch that saw Patchak score three goals in 63 seconds.

Perhaps the key element to the Blue Devils’ offensive explosion was the performance of Hardaker, a sophomore whose five goals gave him a team-leading 15 for the season.

“The nature of my position is to score goals, that’s why I’m on the field,” he said. “My goals are the end result of a long play that begins on the defensive end. Everyone on this team has a role, and mine is to catch the ball and shoot.”

As a freshman last season, Hardaker could only watch from the sidelines as senior All-American T. J. Durnan scored 42 goals in the position Hardaker now occupies. Yet despite not registering a single point last year, Hardaker is not at all surprised with his success

in the first half.

North Carolina’s Christine McPike finally broke the Duke defense with 3:45 left in the half, claiming the first of her four goals. Carolina still struggled as Duke goalie Kristen Foster came up with six big saves in the first half, one of which denied the Tar Heels a free-position shot with one second left. Foster tallied 13 saves for the game. this season.

North Carolina continued to rally in the sec“When you step into a spot like this you can’t be surprised to be ond half as both teams traded presses and there. We were all brought in here by coach Pressler because we shots in the first seven minutes. Dirks claimed can play, and you have to be confident that when you get your shot her third goal of the day at the 23-minute that you can play, you can do it.” mark, only to be avenged by Carolina’s McPike four minutes later, who snuck in her second goal of the day.

Determined to maintain the lead, Duke sophomore Jessica Bennett weaved through several defenders to score her first goal of the season, putting Duke up 8-4..

With 15 minutes left to play and a four-goal lead, it seemed as though Duke’s consistent domination over Carolina would lead the Blue Devils comfortably to victory. However, a series of Duke defensive fouls commenced a Carolina comeback. The Tar Heels grabbed three consecutive goals in the next three minutes, two of which resulted from free-position shots.

Stuck in their own defensive end with a mere one goal lead, the Blue Devils struggled to recharge their offense. McPike’s fourth goal, the result of an end-to-end breakaway at the five-minute mark, was the final straw. After patiently passing and cutting in front of the Carolina goal, Duke sophomore Meg Barnet took a pass from Gallagher and fired a shot past keeper Melissa Coyne. Less than a minute later, Lindsay Stone of the Tar Heels evened the score again.

The last frantic two minutes of play saw numerous turnovers, as both teams scrambled for a final victory-sealing goal. Gallagher, who now leads the team in goals (10), assists (5) and MATT KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE points (16), claimed the game for Duke, with 14 seconds remaining on the clock.

THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE

MISSOURI’S KAREEM RUSH sprawls across Shane Battier as they vie for a loose ball. Rush almost single-handedly kept the game competitive, but the Tigers fell to Duke Saturday, 94-81.

Adrenaline Rush Kareem Rush poured in 29 points to keep Mizzou close SWEET 16 from page 1, The Chronicle “He’s sweet,” Dunleavy said. “I’ve played with a lot of NBA guys and he is right there with all of them. He is going to be a heck of a pro. He’s slippery and hard to guard. He’s got everything in his arsenal and is just real smooth and fun to watch. I got a view of his backside a lot today.”

Rush’s efforts, though, were not enough to overcome the tenacity of -

Duke’s two All-Americans, Williams

and Battier.

Battier struggled from three-point range, shooting only l-for-8 from behind the arc, but he still found away to shine.

The Naismith Award winner went 12for-13 from the line, scoring 27 points and pulling down 11 rebounds.

Playing all 40 minutes, Battier provided invaluable leadership for the Blue Devils. After a three-pointer by Rush brought the Tigers to within one point with 10:42 left to play, Battier took over. He tallied seven points in two minutes as the Blue Devils scored on 12 of their next 14 possessions and put the game out of reach.

“What I’ve found with this team is times when people would normally call timeouts, I have not called timeouts,” Krzyzewski said. “When it got 63-62, the insecure part of me was saying ‘timeout’ and the one that believed in my team said, ‘Shut up.’ Thank goodness that part won.”

Krzyzewski’s faith in his players paid

off, as Battier recognized and exploited his mismatch against Missouri’s lessagile center, Tajudeen Soyoye.

“We were pretty small and I was the center, so Soyoye had to guard me and we tried to take advantage ofit,” Battier said. “I didn’t shoot a very great percentage from the three-point line, but I think I made up for it from the free-

throw line today.”

Battier’s performance was complemented by Williams’ strong outing. The sophomore’s aggressive defense helped limit Missouri point guards Brian Grawer and Wesley Stokes to a combined 12 points on 4-for-ll shooting. Although he committed a game-high five turnovers, Wiliams’ five three-pointers and nine assists were key factors in Duke’s offensive outbursts throughout the game.

“Jason is talented,” Battier said.

“After this year, you sort of lose track of great games and you come to expect greatness from him every time he steps on the court and handles the ball.

“I thought we had great execution the whole game. Jason really played a great floor game.... That was really the difference today—our offensive execution was very sharp.”

Although he started out slow, Williams was firing on all cylinders by the end of the game. He had six assists in the game’s final nine minutes, helping to seal Missouri’s defeat.

“They were really pressuring the

ball, and every time I was going into the lane I really didn’t know what to do with the basketball,” Williams said. “As the game progressed, I started doing a better job of getting to the rim and finishing, pulling up for a little jump shot or finding my teammates.”

After watching Duke’s two superstars end his team’s season, nobody was happier to hear the final buzzer than Missouri coach Quin Snyder. “[Duke is] a great team,” Snyder said.

“When they went 5ma11..., Jason just took the game over—so did Shane. I’m glad this game is over.”

Duke drops Milwaukee-Wisconsin in Ist round

By ANDREA BOOKMAN The Chronicle

96 Playing for the first time as a No. 1 seed, UMAVisc. 6 Duke did what topseeded squads should do to 16 seeds.

The Blue Devils (29-3) beat Wiscon-

Duke

>

sin-Milwaukee (19-11) Saturday, ending the Panthers’ season with a 96-63 defeat.

The game was not the total whalloping indicated by the final score, as it left neither the Panthers, their proud coach, nor a fairly large contingency of Milwaukee fans hanging their heads.

“This was our first chance to dance,” Milwaukee coach Sandy Botham said.

“I’m really proud of our team. Our fans were with us until the very end, too.”

While the Midwestern Collegiate Conference champions never truly challenged Duke for the lead in the contest, they scrapped for the loose balls and played intensely throughout. In fact, it was the Panthers’ constant intensity that made this game feel less like a blowout and more like the NCAA tournament.

The Blue Devils established themselves early, however, by scoring 20 points to Milwaukee’s five in the first eight minutes of the game. Six of Duke’s points during that stretch came off of Alana Beard steals, as the freshman made a habit Saturday of picking off Panther guard Teri Stoltenberg and beating her downcourt for layups.

“Getting* those steals and layups really fuels our defense,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We feed off those tips and steals.”

Milwaukee finally broke the nickel mark when All-MCC guard Jessica Wilhite hit a jumper, and the lead closed to 10 after Stoltenberg’s three-pointer moments later. Milwaukee never got closer, as Duke freshman Rometra Craig came off the bench to hit two straight treys.

Craig hit another long-range shot in the second half and was perfect from beyond the arc in the game. She said extra work last week in practice gave her confidence to take the three.

“Rometra asked me to work with her after practice on her three-pointer,” Goestenkors said. “She’d been struggling with her shot in practice, but after practice yesterday, she hit about 20 straight threes. I said, ‘Give me something to help you out with.’”

While Craig and Georgia Schweitzer found their range, Milwaukee’s shooters struggled. Wilhite, who hit 89 treys this season, airballed twice before hitting a

three-pointer with about four minutes remaining in the first half. And the Panthers’ third-leading scorer, freshman center Maria Viall, was rendered useless in the post by Rochelle Parent’s defense.

Duke went to the locker room with a 45-28 halftime lead, after Milwaukee’s Stefanie Kaufinann hit a bucket at the buzzer. Although the lead was fairly decisive by that point, the Blue Devils still were unsatisfied with their performance.

“I thought we were a bit rusty,”

Goestenkors said. r ‘l was much more pleased with our intensity in the second half.”

Duke’s defense was tighter in the second frame, as the Panthers were forced to bum a timeout less than two minutes in when they could not inbound the ball.

Milwaukee scored its first seven points of the half within three minutes—four points came from the free-throw line, while Stoltenberg knocked down another trey. Down by 14, the Panthers did not score again for over four minutes when Wilhite hit a long three. By then, Milwaukee was down by 20.

Duke’s freshmen bore the scoring bur-

den, as Beard, Craig, Iciss Tillis and Crystal White took care of all of the team’s offense for the next six minutes.

Meanwhile, Duke’s defense handled everyone except Wilhite. The diminutive, ruddy-cheeked sophomore made three treys in the final 13 minutes, and Nicole Luchsinger and Holly Tamm backed her up with free throws and layups.

In the end, however, all of Duke’s five freshmen got to taste an NCAA tournament game, and four freshmen scored.

Beard led the Blue Devils with 22, while Craig added a career-high 20. Wilhite was the only Panther to score in doublefigures, as she recorded 24 points.

“I wasn’t nervous,” Beard said. “I was ready to play. The jitters are out.”

The Blue Devils will face ninth-seeded Arkansas (20-12) tonight at 7:30 p.m.The Razorbacks last played Duke in the 1998 NCAA tournament, when they upset the Blue Devils in the Elite Eight.

“Arkansas is so physical inside,” Goestenkors said. “We’re not going to get as many steals or easy layups. We got away with some stuff today that we’re not going to get away with on Monday.”

Sweet 3-peat

Despite Williams’ sprained ankle, Duke rolled over UNC

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

One 79 ATLANTA week, four games, no UNC S* more skeptics.

When the Blue Devils lost center

Duke

Carlos Boozer to a fractured third metatarsal nearly three weeks ago, they were supposed to be too short, too thin, too shallow and all too incapable of defending their back-to-back ACC tournament championships. Now those same Blue Devils are the No. 1 seed in the East region and heavy favorites to return to the Final Four in

Minneapolis.

Exactly seven days after running North Carolina out of its own building, Duke demolished the Tar Heels March 11 in a championship game that was only a game for about 11 minutes.

The first triumph over their archrivals snared the Blue Devils a share of their fifth straight regular-season conference title. The second, a 79-53 massacre in front of a divided crowd in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome, earned Duke a third consecutive ACC banner in the second-most lopsided championship game in the history of the ACC tournament.

“When this tournament started, coming here a man down with Carlos being out, I don’t really know how many people gave us a chance to win it,” tournament MVP Shane Battier said. “No one really gave us a chance, so I’m very proud of our guys.”

Battier and his teammates did everything right last Sunday. They outrebounded, outmuscled and outhustled the Tar Heels, who played an uninspired second half after getting blown away 50-30 in the first half.

Carolina’s 19-for-65 performance from the floor—an abominable 29.2 percent—was the second lowest in the history of the ACC finals, dating back to N.C. State’s 1955 squad.

The victory was also the 600th in the legendary coaching career of Mike Krzyzewski.

“This last week has been as gratifying for me as I have had as a coach,” said Krzyzewski, who emphasized that the decisive factor was the defensive rebounding of forward Mike Dunleavy and point guard Jason Williams.

Dunleavy led Duke with gamehighs in both points (24) and rebounds (13). He also had the only sound shooting game on an afternoon in which both teams struggled from the field.

Williams only grabbed five rebounds, but he scored 15 points and held superstar Joseph Forte in check before rolling his ankle seven minutes into the second half. Williams’ injury appeared somewhat serious when he hobbled off the court with the assistance of trainer Dave Engelhardt and guard Andre Buckner. The sophomore sat in anguish on Duke’s bench while Engelhardt examined his ankle, but he had the brightest smile on his face when the celebration began.

After gingerly lifting himself up the ladder, Williams sliced one of the net’s four remaining strands and waived it about with a series of rapid-fire pumps of his right arm that were as electrifying to the Duke cheering section as one

of his trademark slaps of the hardwood.

Both Dunleavy and Williams joined Battier on the tournament’s first team, along with Forte and Maryland’s Juan Dixon. Nate James was named to the second team.

“I take my hat off to Duke and Coach Krzyzewski. They’re a great team and they performed really well,” said UNC coach Matt Doherty, whose team lost for the fourth consecutive Sunday. “You have to admire what they’ve done.”

Doherty’s postgame admiration

masked a sickly feeling of frustration that overtook the first-year coach when the Blue Devils turned a 23-20 game into a 42-21 laugher in a matter of four-and-a-half minutes. Duke’s run was highlighted by Williams’ lob pass to center Casey Sanders, who caught the ball in traffic and elevated over Julius Peppers for a layup and foul that represented the way Duke dominated the paint against Carolina.

Sanders recorded three blocks and united with reserves Matt Christensen and Reggie Love to hold all of UNC’s

post players to single-digit scoring totals. Despite a significant advantage in size over each of Duke’s three interior players, Tar Heel center Brendan Haywood made little impact, particularly in the second half when he took only three shots.

“I think it got to a point where a lot of people wrote off each of these guys and didn’t really expect them to contribute to our team this season,” Battier said of Sanders, Love and Christensen. “We had seen flashes from each of them, but not the sustained level we saw this weekend.”

Titus Ivory was certain about his allegiances. He grew up stuck on Carolina blue and wanted nothing more than to play for the state’s team.

“I wanted to go there, but you can’t go somewhere you’re not wanted,” Ivory said.

So, yesterday, when the final buzzer sounded at the Superdome, Ivory, the Penn State guard, took the basketball and flung it in the air. Soon, he hugged Dunn, his coach, and received a congratulatory handshake from North Carolina coach Matt Doherty.

Virginia rocks Duke baseball to conclude road trip

By FOZAIL ALVI The Chronicle

rocky 14 After a road trip, the Duke 5 Duke baseball team will be looking forward to returning home.

The Blue Devils struggled through seven close games over the course of spring break. The team went an overall 2-5 during the 10day stretch, but almost all the losses were either one or two-run affairs.

Virginia

Part of the reason for Duke’s early struggles could be attributed to the scheduling; Both of Duke’s opening ACC series were on the road, first in WinstonSalem versus Wake Forest and then another three-game series at Charlottesville versus Virginia.

The Blue Devils are 7-5 this season at home, but a meager 2-10 on the road.

“We are, definitely more comfort-

able at home,” head coach Bill Hillier said. “For me, it’s very good to fi-

nally be home. It makes you appreciate guys who play pro baseball in the big leagues. We have been gone now for about 10 days. It feels really good for us to be home.”

The Blue Devils started off spring break March 9 against a tough Wake Forest team. The team

battled hard, but dropped the first two games by just one run apiece.

However, it rebounded and pounded the Demon Deacons 14-6 for its first ACC win of the season to bring its record to 8-11.

Shortstop Kevin Kelly provided the firepower for the Blue Devils in the three-game series, going 8-12 while scoring six runs. Kelly helped the Blue Devils get off to quick starts by reaching base in the first

inning in each of the three games.

“He was just awesome,” Hillier said. “Twelve consecutive times he reached base in one stretch. He is healthy for the first time in his career, and it’s made a huge difference for him. He is showing why he was drafted so high out of high school and is drawing a lot of attention.”

After a shutout loss 7-0 to Campbell March 13, the team lost a close game to Old Dominion the next day. Starting pitcher Drew Jerdan and reliever Kevin Perry combined to give up 8 runs in 3 1/3 innings, although only one of those eight was earned. The Blue Devils committed three costly errors, which Hillier attributed to the absences of shortstop Kevin Kelly and second-baseman Larry Broadway up the middle. They were both out of town due to deaths in the family.

“When you lose a couple guys like that, you lose continuity,” Hillier said. “Guys that are used to serving as role players were being forced into action. That affects not only them, but the guys around them get out of sync.”

The Blue Devils continued their road trip, traveling north to Charlottesville to take on the Virginia Cavaliers March 16. The first contest was yet another close loss for Duke, which had a late rally cut short when Kelly grounded out with two runners on base to end the game 4-3 in favor of Virginia.

The Blue Devils then won in a

high-scoring affair, 12-11, before

dropping Sunday’s rubber game 14-5. The loss dropped Duke to 915 overall and 2-4 in ACC play, though the team just as easily could be 5-1 if it turned around the three one-run losses it suffered in the past week alone.

“After the Wake Forest losses, we rebounded very well and beat them solidly,” Hillier said, “and after the one-run loss versus Virginia, we came back and beat them pretty good. We have responded very well [to the close losses]. Now, we have three days off, and we can get ready for the next six games in four days.”

The Duke rowing team took part in the Tom White Invitational Spring Training Regatta in Oak Ridge, Tennessee Saturday, competing against Wisconsin and Louisville. Wisconsin swept the Blue Devils early in the day, winning all four races of the morning session. Duke fared better against Louisville in the afternoon, capturing all three races and posting a 1-23 finish in the Varsity 4 at the end ofthe day.

The crew remained in Durham over most of the break, training for the spring season in which flatwater sprints replace the longer whitewater courses of the fall. Coach Robyn Homer granted a brief, three-day respite from the workouts to allow the crew a short vacation before heading up to scrimmage in Tennessee. Despite the losses to Wisconsin, the team was pleased with its use of the break for training.

“Each year the finishing margin between the Wisconsin boats and ours decreases,” said freshman Crystal.Wakulich, seven-seat on the junior varsity 8+ boat. “This year we heard that the Wisconsin coach was worried about us, because we’ve been improving so much each time we race them.”

This year’s varsity 8+ boat finished a mere 9.2 seconds behind the Badgers, a perennially successful team that has an impressive history of finishes at the National Championship Regatta. The second Varsity 8+ boat finished 12.8 seconds behind Wisconsin. This closing gap must have been satisfying for Duke assistant coach Shannon Daley, who crewed with the Badgers as an undergraduate.

The wins over Louisville were also significant for Duke, as the Blue Devils demolished a team that they barely edged out at the Central Regional Sprints last year. This time around Louisville’s closest finish was over 15 seconds behind as Duke cruised to victory in the Varsity 8. The 1-2-3 finish in the Varsity 4 proved Duke’s continuing improvement more than any other event ofthe day, as Louisville’s boat finished more than 30 seconds behind Duke’s third-place finisher.

“For me, the most exciting race was the Varsity 4,” said Wakulich. “Louisville was so far behind, we stopped worrying about them and were racing each other.”

Although the A boat finished about 10 seconds ahead of them, the B and C boats remained close the entire race. In the end, the C boat finished with a time of 7:51.8, a mere half of a second ahead of the B boat’s time of 7:52.3.

The rowing crew travels to Lake Hartwell in South Carolina this Saturday to race with Clemson and Tennessee. The competition should be a good testing ground for the Blue Devils, as Clemson will host this year’s ACC Championships at Lake Hartwell in late April.

Rush intends to return to Snyder’s squad Underclassmen COMMENTARY from page 6 Snyder tried to match Duke’s smaller, speedier lineup with a small lineup of his own, the similarities of the two programs are undeniable.

Of course, that should not really be surprising. It helps explain why the No. 9 seed hung with big, bad Duke for so long.

But there is more to Snyder than just the way his team plays.

Beyond the boyish grin and the curly locks, beyond the M.B.A. and the J.D., beyond even the emotional dynamics of Saturday’s game, Snyder has the respect of his players.

“I believe we gave Coach Q all we had,” junior Clarence Gilbert said. ‘We i*

fight for him, he fights for us. We’ve got his back, he’s got ours.”

His kids like him, his kids listen to him, his kids trust him—it is obvious why he is a rising star. Watch the eyeballs. They all come back to Snyder.

“He has passion, heart and the ability to communicate with his players,” Krzyzewski said. “His players believe in him. He’s terrific.”

Perhaps that’s why the Big 12’sleading scorer, Kareem Rush, does not hesitate to say that he looks forward to next season with Snyder ratner than the NBA draft, despite facing the reality of a dislocated thumb earlier this season.

Snyder already has the type of respect that Krzyzewski commands.

But make no mistake, Snyder is not a Krzyzewski clone. He’s new school, more Billy Donovan than Bob Knight.

Even so, there remains something special about Snyder, and it showed Saturday. Most coaches come out of a game against Duke humiliated. Snyder came out of it unscathed after only two years as a head coach.

But for both men, Saturday’s game could not have turned out better. Sure, Duke advanced as expected, but Snyder deserves a lot ofcredit for the intensity of his Tiger squad.

Still, both coaches are likely relieved to leave the second round behind; Duke will go on through the tournament and Missouri will look back on a very decent season and plan for an even better one next year. And Krzyzewski will be rooting for Snyder every step of the way.

“When a player comes into the league, he has an opportunity to win 76 ACC games, if he wins every regular season and every tournament game. Shane just finished his ACC career and he’s won 69,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s been the consummate winner and he does what he needs to do to help us win in every way. That’s why he’s already won a lot of national player of the year awards, and nobody deserves that more.”

As one of 15 finalists for the Naismith Award, Battier had some very stiff competition. However, the Duke senior was one of only a handful of fourth-year players up for the honor; Battier was accompanied on the ballot by veterans Brendan Haywood of North Carolina, Troy Murphy of Notre Dame and Terence Morris of Maryland. In fact, a majority of the finalists were underclassmen, highlighted by an impressive trio of sophomores in Duke’s Jason Williams, North Carolina

President George W. Bush is not being honest about who will benefit from his new tax plan trillion. They also warned that under to allay suspicions about such a raid by administration officials claim that tax Bush’s plan a hitherto obscure aspect of offering his personal assurance that the cuts this year don’t affect their arithmetic Reckonings has accumulating because their budget is for 2002 through

The important point is that the estimated cost of the tax cut hasn’t exploded because of new information; it has

exploded because the original estimates were simply dishonest. Bush knew from the start that he was misleading the public about the budget impact of his proposals, just as he knows that he is misleading people now about whose taxes will be cut and by how much. This contractor didn’t make an honest error;

he deliberately deceived the homeowner.

And as long as he keeps getting away with it, he sees no reason to change the way he does business.

THE ARTFUL DODGER visits ‘Duke-nolia’ Monday, Monday THE ARTFUL DODGER Partly cloudy. Five percent chance of rain.

Nov. 12, 2000 A man is seen by a Duke student masturbating in Perkins Library. The student asks the man to please stop masturbating. He responds, “I can’t.” The student observes that the man is reading The Strife of the Natural Faculties by Immanuel Kant.

I. Kant. Is this just a coincidence?

Nov. 20, 2000 —A student runs into a second floor room in Gilbert-Addoms Dormitory and proceeds to urinate all over the window sill. The occupant of the room asks him, “What are you doing?” The student responds, “This isn’t Will’s room?” The mysterious urinator then leaves the room. Police investigating the scene find drops of a liquid substance lead out into the hallway. Twenty-thousand dollars of analysis and testing confirms suspicions that the fluid is, in fact, urine. When photographs of the urine drops are later analyzed, they make the formation of the Greek letter pi. Investigators decide that the incident is simply a strange coincidence, a twist of probability and fate.

Dec. 14, 2000 Germanic studies major and Duke senior Erik Ericson hands in the first draft of his senior thesis, entitled “Demographic Curves of the Body Politic in Weimar Germany.” Shocked professors read the paper, only to find crude sketchings of a nude Maurice Chevalier. When confronted, Ericson cannot explain what he has done, only to say that he had Chevalier in the back of his head for a while. The sketches show Chevalier urinating on the window sill

of what appears to be a dorm room. Written on the door in what appears to be perfect Greek is the message, “Will’s Room.” The Honor Council passes over the incident as a sheer necessity of probability. For every million papers turned in, X percent will have nude sketches of Chevalier, posits Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education William Chafe. He reassures the committee that, because it happened now, it can reasonably be

The Duke University Police Department chooses not to explore the possibility of Chevalier having been the GA urinator as he is dead. ,

expected to not occur again for another 4,000 years. The Duke University Police Department chooses not to explore the possibility of Chevalier having been the GA urinator, as he is dead. The entire matter is passed off as coincidence.

Andrew Scott is a Duke biology professor who breeds populations of the bacteria responsible for foot odor. As a teenager growing up in suburban Detroit, he had exactly one date with a Ms. Patty Carlysle. Carlysle rebuffed his advances at the end of the date and never returned his subsequent calls.

Scott blamed the incident on the odors emanating from his pair of 1965 Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers.

They were his gym shoes. They smelled. He lost what scant confidence he had and became one of Duke’s least inspiring lecturers.

Carlysle i& happily married to Wade Knight, a successful venture capitalist who works in Manhattan.

The two live in suburban Westchester County, New York. They met while at college, at Colgate. There, Knight played football. Patty tells confidants that she was secretly attracted to him by the odor ofhis shoes after football games. It was something of an aphrodisiac. She had something of a (forgive the alliteration) funky foot fungus fetish. Knight is contemplating the investment of $400,000 in a venture, headed by one Andrew Scott ofDuke University, that promises to cure foot odors forever. Is this a coincidence?

Samantha Neil is a member of a top Duke sorority.

She sat behind Ericson in Professor Scott’s seminar, “Microbial Inhibition and Your Libido.” It is not a popular course. Both are taking it to graduate. Her attention span is so short that she cannot even remember to refill her own Ritalin prescription, and she filled the first semester at Duke with longing stares at Ericson’s notebook, filled with sketches of the nude Maurice Chevalier. Neil cannot remember why, but she decided to take the spring semester abroad in France. Here, she has developed a taste for Black Perigord Truffles, a fungus. If she could pay attention long enough, this fact would alarm her. To get a passing grade in Scott’s course, she tried to seduce him.

Though attracted to Neil, and without regard for the seeming impropriety of teacher-student relations, Scott rebuffed her. He could not explain why. This was prior to her ever eating a truffle.

Chevalier. Neil. Ericson. Carlysle. Knight. Scott.

The Perkins Library masturbator. The GilbertAddoms urinator. Immanuel Kant.

Coincidence?

It does not seem like it.

There was nothing fake about him; he didn’t put on any airs,” said Vicki Stocking, a TIP researcher. “He was humble. He wanted to learn about people, and people wanted to know him.”

Co-workers remembered Griffin as a sensitive administrator who was devoted to working with the program’s students. “He was very passionate and dedicated, and he quickly became a friend and trusted colleague of mine,” said TIP Executive Director Steven Pfeiffer. “He certainly was a champion of the rights of the gifted....

Colleagues say his commitment to TlP’s mission—to foster the talents of America’s brightest middle and high school students—was unending and that his attention to the details of the program made him a critical piece of the program’s foundation. In his deliberations on financial aid rewards, for example, Griffin worked diligently to make sure all gifted children could participate in TIP. “Ramon was so dedicated to the well-being of young people and students,” said Stocking, also an adjunct assistant professor of psychology. “He was a pre-major adviser. He loved his students, he knew each of them personally, he knew how to guide them.... He knew every work-study student in both offices. He knew them personally, where everyone was from.”

sive increase in the replication of the HIV virus,” Letvin said. “The reverse

happens when more lymphocytes were

present in the system.” Letvin’s vaccine consists of inoculated DNA and peptides of HIV. In developing this type of vaccine, Letvin says he is trying to contain HlV—not to prevent infection from occurring. “Right now, if a person has the HIV virus, there will be a high level of viral replication, but with this drug the replication itself could be dramatically contained,” he said. “If you can’t prevent the infection, you can at least try to control it and allow the infected

person to live a longer, more productive life.

Back at Duke, Dr. Bart Haynes, rre eric M. Hanes professor of medicine, has been researching an HIV vaccine at Duke for 15 years. For the last 10 years, be and his team have received grants from the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.

Haynes team which includes Dr. Herman Staats, an assistant research professor in the division of rheumatology and immunology—is focusmg on developing a vaccine administered via nasal spray. Their work is based on a earher report, which showed that many sub-baharan African prostitutes had become im,

to HIV. Building on the results of that study, the team is trying to create a vaccine that will induce both mucosal and systemic responses to block HIV. Both Haynes and Staats said the potential vaccine, which also mimics HlV’s envelope, will stimulate antibodies and cytotoxic T-cells to fight at the mucosal surface. It will also enhance a generalized immune system response to the virus.

By exposing the mucosal surfaces in the nose to the vaccine, researchers hope that the response at the mucosal surface of the genital region—the area most likely to first come into contact with the virus—will also be stimulated to fight the infection. Acting as a second mime

line of defense, the systemic response should kill the infection if the mucosal response fails to contain it. The vaccine’s biological structure mimics the outer envelope of the virus, so when an antibody binds to the envelope, it should elicit an immune response as though it were reacting to the virus itself.

“We have gotten outstanding results from our mouse studies,” said Staats. “In the next few months we’ll be moving onto the next step, which is testing the vaccine on primates.” The team is also beginning to establish connections with investigators in sub-Saharan Africa and Zambia, so that they can begin working on vaccines for strains specific to those regions.
