CIRCULATION 16,000

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

MINNEAPOLIS, Duke’s Minn five starting made itself a perfect 10 last night, again finding away to win in an unusual fashion.

Despite having both of their AllAmericans essentially shut down for much of the night, the topranked Blue Devils capitalized on 18 second-half points from forward Mike Dunleavy to win their thirdever national championship. Dunleavy pushed Duke comfortably ahead with three consecutive three-pointers early in the second half, and after several mini-runs by Arizona, the Blue Devils eventually held on for an 82-72 victory last night in the NCAA finals.

Still, as atypical as it was for AllAmericans Jason Williams and Shane Battier to combine for 3-for-16 from three-point range, the Blue Devils battled to victory exactly the -same way they have in 33 previous games this season. They scrapped, they fought, they dove to the floor, they even made behind-the-back passes to save balls as they were

flying out ofbounds.

“It seemed like the loose ball ended up in their hands instead of in our hands,” Arizona coach Lute Olson said.

Olson witnessed first-hand what opposing coaches have seen when facing the Blue Devils all season. It was simply Duke playing Duke basketball, the type of hard-nosed, rugged play that propelled this starting lineup to a perfect 10-0 to end the season.

“They’ve given me their hearts, their minds, and not only that, they’ve given it to each other,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I think you can see it, the courage

they show game after game. But they’re just a beautiful group of guys. They’re like old-fashioned guys. They really want to be on a team, and they share things.”

Last night, the Blue Devils received a double-double from Carlos Boozer, a career-high five threepointers by Dunleavy and 40 exhausting minutes from Battier, the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player. But together they found away, and the national championship trophy will be carried back to Durham for the third time in 11 seasons.

“I’m speechless,” said fifth-year senior Nate James, who relinquished his starting spot to freshman Chris Duhon. “All year long we’ve been See CHAMPIONS on page 19 �

Dunleavy steps up, leads Duke to 3rd title MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.

Ever since he arrived at Duke, Mike Dunleavy has been overshadowed.

Whether it has been living in the limelight of his NBA championship-winning father, being considered only the third-best in his talented sophomore class, or being known as the lesser of two roommates in comparison to his co-inhabitant Shane Battier, Dunleavy has never received the attention of those who surround him....

......

Craig Saperstein Game Commentary And while Battier and his teammates were a key component of Duke’s 82-72 victory over Arizona, it was Dunleavy who carried the Blue Devils in the second half, as they worked steadily toward Duke’s third national championship ring.

The sophomore poured in 18 second-half points, including three straight three-pointers midway through the half, which gave the Blue Devils enough breathing room to survive the ever-present Wildcat onslaught. The high-octane performance by Dunleavy was extremely gratifying for the Oregon native, who had played a much lesser role throughout most of the NCAA tournament.

Campaign finance bill passes Senate Bill bans soft money and increases individual contribution allowances

By ALISON MITCHELL

New York Times News Service

The Senate WASHINGTON voted yesterday to approve the most wide-ranging overhaul of the nation’s campaign finance law since the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, shifting the struggle over the influence of money and politics into a divided House.

The 59-41 vote capped a fierce six-year effort by Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Russell D. Feingold, D-Wis., to ban the large, unrestricted political contributions known as soft money that reached a record of nearly $5OO million in

the last election.

Twelve Republicans joined with

47 Democrats to propel the bill forward, including three, unexpected senior Republicans—Sens. Pete V.

Domenici ofNew Mexico, Richard G. Lugar of Indiana and Ted Stevens of Alaska. Thirty-eight Republicans and three Democrats opposed it.

The vote came after two weeks of suspense-filled showdowns on amendments and impassioned debate that held senators unusually riveted as they spoke of their own experiences and frustrations with fund-raising and campaigning in the modem television era.

It was a particular triumph for McCain, who put his crusade to limit money at the center ofhis bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

In his final speech before the vote, he thanked his supporters, saying: “I asked at the start of this debate for my colleagues to take a risk for America. In a few moments, I believe we will do just that. I will go to my grave deeply grateful for the honor of being a part of it.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, who has long led the opposition, argued one last time that the Senate was weakening the national political parties and putting candidates at the mercy of outside interest groups.

“What we have done here,” he said, “in an effort to get the money out of politics, is to get the parties out of politics.” He argued that the See CAMPAIGN FINANCE on page 15 V

U.S. demands spy plane crew from China

By TOM RAUM Associated Press

WASHINGTON In a tense standoff with China, President George W. Bush demanded the prompt return of 24 crew members of a Navy spy plane yesterday and the release of their crippled plane “without further damaging or tampering.” China said there would be no access at least until today.

Bush, reading a sober statement at the White House, said, “Failure of the Chinese government to react promptly to our request is inconsistent with standard diplomatic practice and with the expressed desire of both our countries for better relations.”

The emergency landing of the turboprop EP-3 surveillance plane on the Chinese island of Hainan after its

collision with a Chinese fighter jet early Sunday brought a new chill to already frosty U.S.-Chinese relations just as Bush was nearing a decision on an armssale package for Taiwan that Beijing has opposed.

The crew, in one ofits last communications from the plane, told U.S. authorities the aircraft was being boarded by the Chinese, a senior U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. But Mary Ellen Countryman, a White House spokesman, said: “We have no confirmation that they boarded the plane.”

As a result, U.S. officials had no information on the extent to which the plane, laden with high-tech surveillance equipment, might have been searched. The United States considers the aircraft sovereign U.S. territory and not subject to search or seizure.

‘Old Duke’ revisits West for fiery party

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

The “Old Duke” of campus lore returned in style last night, with a fantastic bonfire which at times burnt so hot that the cool midnight air could not stop students standing 15 yards away from sweating. And like in the old days, the festivities featured beer and naked revelry.

After the men’s basketball team’s 82-72 victory over the University of Arizona in the National Championship game, an estimated 10,000 celebrators took to Main West Quadrangle with profane shouts and cheers.

“I have been waiting for this moment since I was in the fifth grade,” said junior Eric Blumenfeld. “I am going to run around, go crazy, hug everyone I can, burn s— and drink a lot of beer. This is the majn reason I wanted to come to Duke.”

The celebration began with a race between members of Sigma Chi fraternity and residents of Wayne Manor to be the first to donate their bench to the eventually 15-foot-high blaze. The two benches were shortly joined by others from Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, the Kappa Alpha Order and wood crates made available at Cameron Indoor Stadium by an anonymous donor.

But the blaze did not truly come to life until around 11:45 p.m., when partyers added copies of The Independent, a community newspaper, and shredded paper to the lukewarm fire.

Over the course of the evening, a newspaper bin, traffic cones, a plastic flamingo, a surfboard and a computer found their way into the flames.

“We’re slaves to our computer.... Everybody’s all worried about their classes tomorrow,” said senior Robb Leandro, who threw his 386 X computer into the fire. “I’m throwing my computer in and I’m not checking my e-mail.”

When the party was finally over around 2:30 a.m., administrators said that they were pleased with overall outcome of the evening.

“I think everything went well,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs. “I didn’t know what to anticipate. This year we had so much experience, I hoped we’d be in a better position to manage the activities for the event. The students have been great. We can’t do it without student cooperation.”

Still, several minor incidents were reported to the police, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. Officers arrested three people for charges related to possession of marijuana. Additionally, two men were arrested for first-degree burglary in House E. Dean also reported that Duke EMS treated three partyers with minor injuries, including one gradSee CELEBRATION on page 8 i

Durham’s retailers triumph at tournament time, too

By SARAH McGILL

the better we do,” she said. “The longer Duke’s in the tournament means the longer people

For most retailers, the annual sales boom surrounding the holiday season is in a class by itself. But for Darrin Byerly, owner of The Duck Shop on Ninth Street, there’s something even better—a Duke win in the NCAA Championship.

“If they win, it’s like having back-to-back Christmases,” said Byerly yesterday, standing amidst a small sea of Duke shirts, hats and other paraphernalia. “It’ll almost double our yearly sales.”

Byerly is not alone. The Duke men’s basketball team’s survival of the brackets has led to more than just mud fights. Area proprietors are selling more beer, food and liquor—and Durham is doing a better job of selling itself.

“Duke in the Final Four gives this community positive exposure that we can build upon in acquiring visitors and people who might move here,” said Phillip Vereen, vice president for government relations at the Durham County Chamber of Commerce.

Having a dominant basketball team—especially in one of the most-watched national sporting events—helps sell Durham to businesses and individuals, Vereen said. “That’s what’s great about being in the Final Four,” he said. “It gives us another reason to say that Durham is a great place to live because we have great basketball.”

Gene Devine, who played football at Duke, has owned Devine’s Restaurant and Sports Bar for 21 years. “[Going to the championship game] is the best thing that could happen,” he said, taking a break from working on a broken buffalo wings fryer. “Of course you want to win, but you want about 20 overtimes.”

Across the street at Satisfaction Restaurant and Bar, Sara Gittner was preparing for the crowd. “Obviously, the better Duke does,

come here.”

But having a team in the Final Four does not significantly alter the year’s revenues, Gittner said. “It’s really the NCAA tournament games that are the only extra ones we get,” she said.

“Essentially, our business is only affected give or take three or four days.”

Bars are not the only source of alcohol in town, and J.D. Smith, who works at the ABC Liquor store on Hillsborough Road, said that sales have a tendency to increase if Duke is doing well come tourney time.

“From what I understand, sales were tremendous,” said Smith of the time surrounding the ’9l and ’92 championship wins.

But Smith said sales have not been tremendous lately, perhaps due to tightened rules restricting alcohol consumption on campus. In addition, Smith noted, Durham is not necessarily a one-team town.

“You gotta understand that there are a lot of people here who are [University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill] fans,” Smith said.

“It’s almost torn down the middle as far as Duke and Chapel Hill people go.”

Ernest Bason is one of the former. The 71year-old longtime Duke fan was picking up a handle of Seagram’s gin at the store. “I’m going to sit in front of my TV and have me what I call a Duke Mixed Drink,” he said. “A

gin and ginger ale.”

For Byerly, The Duck Store owner, the insanity begins today. As of yesterday, he had already ordered hundreds of items of championship apparel, which were set to be flown to Raleigh-Durham International Airport and transported to the shop before its opening at 10 a.m. today. “It’s nerve-wracking,” he said yesterday. “I’ve been nervous ever since the

City council wrangles over procedure, delays vote

By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

After some debate and questions of parliamentary procedure last night, the Durham City Council postponed action on a proposal for a 2,500-home development in East Durham.

At the meeting, several points of pro-

cedure were raised, and the council spent some time debating who would be allowed to speak. Mayor Nick Tennyson

was in Minneapolis watching the NCAA championship, and Mayor Pro Tern Howard Clement ran last night’s meeting in his stead—but not without a few moments of confusion along the way.

The development proposal, which the

council will take up again May 7, would allow Triad Homes, Inc., to develop almost 700 acres between Sherron Road and U.S. Route 70 with about four homes—apartments and town houses— per acre.

Opponents of the project expressed concern that the development would damage the surrounding environment, overburden Durham’s already crowded schools and cost taxpayers $ll million to educate the additional students.

“This would mean yet another school serving lunch at 10 a.m.,” said Sara Terry of the People’s Alliance.

The developers have been considering donating land for a new school to

support the increased population, but Jack Markham, their attorney, said they have not yet reached an agreement with the school system, and therefore requested that the vote on the development be deferred for a month.

The major question last night was whether to reject the development outright or delay voting on it, since several residents wanted to speak against the proposal.

Though the majority of the council supported postponing the issue, council member Pamela Blyth moved that the council vote on whether to decide the matter, after listening to citizens’ comments. But before hearing whatthe pub-

lie had to say, the council voted 9-3 against the motion.

When Blyth objected, the council voted to reconsider her motion and take public comments. The council stopped short of debating the issue themselves, denying Blyth her request to speak, and moved to a final vote.

The reconsidered motion to reach a final decision on the issue last night failed 9-3, and the council voted 11-1, with Blyth the sole voice in opposition, to defer their decision until May 7.

Unsurprisingly, the meeting did not last more them an hour and a half, as some members of the council were eager to watch the NCAA championship game.

Spectrum’s Culture Week kicks off with talk Tuesday

By KAREN TENENBAUM The Chronicle

Today marks the first day of Culture Week, a series of events organized primarily by Spectrum Organization to increase awareness of issues that face Duke as a multicultural community.

“With the rise in cultural activism and cultural groups on campus, it’s important to promote cultural awareness,” said junior Sofya Asfaw, co-president of Spectrum. “It’s important for students to get a taste for these events.”

Culture Week is a part of Spectrum’s recent efforts to reinvigorate itself after a hiatus of several years.

“Right now, we’re trying to get [Culture Week’s] structure right,” said Spectrum’s other co-president, sophomore Polentzi Narvarte. “We’re ready to start expanding out into the Duke community and test the wa-

ters in terms of how we’re going to do this next year.”

Culture Week’s first event is a talk Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Von Canon C by Ben deGuzman, the community outreach director of the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium. DeGuzman will talk about the current state of civil rights for Asian/Pacific Americans.

“I think he’ll bring a fresh, passionate approach to the civil rights discussion as a part of a generation of young, activist Asian Americans,” said senior Patty Chen, president of the Asian Students Association.

Wednesday will bring a multicultural comedy show in Love Auditorium in the Levine Science Research Center at 7 p.m., sponsored by the Duke University Union.

Race Perspectives will take place April 5 and 6, and will feature, among other events, a Friday

speakout on the Chapel steps, scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Intermittent through the speakout will be student monologues about culture, organized by sophomore Christine Lin, Spectrum historian.

At 7 p.m. April 6, a cultural extravaganza will be held in Page Auditorium. The show, which will feature performances by many campus cultural groups including Dance Black and Diya, is sponsored by Campus Council. Tickets are being sold this week on the Bryan Center walkway.

Junior Dipta Basu organized a Thursday workshop on how to be part of the activist community at Duke. The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the West Union Building.

uate student who was hit below the eye with a beer can.

Throughout the night, an occasional clash between members of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and other students threatened to grow out of control. Fraternity members refused to give up their bench, despite repeated taunts from revelers. The bench has stayed intact for 25 years, and the owners said it cannot be replicated because it violates size restrictions for new benches. “Does winning a championship give people the right to destroy property?” junior Jerome Palmer asked.

Students complained that fraternity members antagonized passers-by, challenging them to try to take

the fraternity’s bench by force. Several others complained that fraternity members tried to start fights and injure other students.

“This is wonderful except for the drunk guys on the Phi Psi bench shooting firecrackers at the crowd,” junior Kristen Shanklin said. “I almost got hit by one. I can’t believe they are letting people do that,” Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Kacie Wallace said she will look into complaints later in the week.

To join in the celebration, freshmen attempted to drag Southgate Dormitory’s bench from East Campus to the West Campus bonfire. Police intercepted the students’ car, which was dragging the bench up Chapel Drive, and asked them to return it to East Campus.

For many, the historic game and subsequent celebration was a dream come true. Senior and juniors had come close to a celebratory fire two years ago, but an unexpected loss in the championship game to the University of Connecticut spoiled their celebration plans.

GPSC pushes to represent equally

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Perhaps the campus’ biggest and most diverse student organization, the Graduate and Professional Student Council struggles almost daily to understand and represent the needs of each of its vastly different constituencies.

Professional students have presented particular challenges over the years because their backgrounds,

interests and schedules vary significantly from those of graduate students, who more typically take an active role in GPSC. The professional students’ needs were the subject of a Saturday roundtable between GPSC leaders and presidents of the individual professional school student governments.

The roundtable was the first in a series of formal meetings that student leaders hope will facilitate cooperation and a closer relationship between the student governments of Duke’s seven professional schools.

“I think these meetings are excellent opportunities to provide more interaction,” said Mark Simmelkjaer, president-elect of the Duke Bar Association. “GPSC deals with a lot of campus-wide issues that affect all students... We’d like to be able to take part in discussions.”

At the roundtable, participants agreed to meet formally at least twice a semester, to improve communication and to attempt to complete more cooperative proSee GPSC on page 14 �

A team for all seasons

Even

if the Duke men’s basketbaH team had not capped off its season with a national championship, this team deserves credit for its

diligence, resilience and determination—three qualities that define great people and great basketball players.

There is so much to like about this team, and nothing deserves more praise than the unity that it has shown through adversity after adversity. A famous expression goes: “There is no T in ‘team.’” In this Duke team, there is not an “I,” but there is certainly a “we.” This year’s neversay-die team spirit is exemplified by players who gave their hearts and souls for Duke basketball.

Take for example senior Nate James. James, who has been a starter since November 1999, was moved out of the starting lineup at the end of February and replaced by freshman Chris Duhon in order to put a faster, more controHed offense on the court. He did not complain. He accepted Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s decision, putting the importance of Duke’s success as a team before his own glory. Duhon exemplified his own form of resolve this season, battling back from two concussions in as many games and meeting the challenges given him. In Duke’s second game against North Carolina—his first game as a starter—Duhon knocked down 15 points, exceeding all expectations. And in the East Regional final, he was largely left alone by Southern California—and made them pay for overlooking him.

Sophomore Mike Dunleavy has also answered the call. Last night, he poured in 21 points, leading the charge to the championship. Like Duhon, Dunleavy has gotten knocked around the court this season. He went down hard in the East Regional semifinal, only to come back into the game minutes later. In November, sophomore Carlos Boozer scored 26 in a tough victory over Temple. And in February, he fit up for 20 points and 13 rebounds in a buzzer-beater over Wake Forest. Three days after that game, he broke a bone in his foot. But 23 days later, he returned to the floor and played a tremendous role in only his third game back —Saturday’s gritty comeback victoiy over Maryland.

There is little left to be written in praise of sophomore point guard Jason Williams. Still, one moment of his season stands out; The miracle minute at Maryland when Williams, who had been dogged the entire game, stole the ball and scored eight points in 13 seconds, leading Duke to overtime and triumph. And then there is national player ofthe year Shane Battier, who holds the record for career ACC wins. Battier was outstanding in so many games that highlighting; one performance is unfair. In addition to winning “the big one,” he accomplished everything that a college basketball player can hope to accomplish. And he did it with style, setting an example for all college athletes.

But more than individual moments, this team has had character and class throughout the season. All the way down the Duke bench, players refused to give less than 100 percent. Do not forget freshman Reggie Love, sophomore Casey Sanders and junior Matt Christensen, who stepped up and put together an impressive replacement job when Boozer was injured and many pronounced the Blue Devils’ championship hopes dead. They made us believe in Duke and respect the mental, physical and emotional toughness that the team exuded in 35 glorious wins and four hard-fought losses.

Add that to Krzyzewski’s best post-season coaching job in 10 years, and you have the 2000-2001 Duke men’s basketball team—a team that came, saw am conquer

Letters to

the Editor

The Chronicle did not make a compelling argument I thank the organizers of the March 26 forum at the Sanford Institute. The discussion allowed me to focus objections to The my Chronicle’s use of “paid political advertising” as a cover

for their actions.

An advertisement is space in the paper in exchange for payment. That’s business. So when The Chronicle sells its space for an ad which is clearly intended to provoke and disturb a predictably targeted segment of the community, we know that The Chronicle considers the payment more important than the cost to those targeted.

We can all deal with that;

whatever our outrage at the content of the advertisement, we know why The Chronicle made its decision,

and we can direct our responses accordingly.

The doublespeak begins when the Chronicle then makes a distinction about “political” advertising and tells us that we misunderstand their disregard for predictable injury. We have, they tell us, overlooked their noble deed of increasing political discussion on campus.

We were told at the forum that The Chronicle cares so much about the political question of reparations that all of us had to be forced to deal with the issue. Apparently no one at The Chronicle was creative enough to think of away to bring this issue to our attention without printing the historical distortions and deliberate invective in the David Horowitz piece. The

Chronicle’s editors could have been honest and said that they found Horowitz’s arguments so compelling they felt obligated to print them as a guest column. Then we might have had an open discussion about the merits of the editorial’s content, or about the issue of reparations, or even about The Chronicle’s judgment in finding these arguments compelling.

Instead we are all patronized by their self-congratulations that they had the “courage” to take the money of an incendiary self-promoter and sit back while other people took the hit. I, for one, am

not grateful.

Judith White Director,

Residential Program Review

People should discuss, not censor, sensitive opinions Much has been made of the March 19 David Horowitz ad and the decision to publish it in The Chronicle. Many students with disagree Horowitz’s position and therefore contend that it should not have been published. I understand everything except the “therefore.”

I have not seen the ad. It may be wicked and insulting, or it may make valid points about a sensitive subject. Personally, I believe that America ought to make an effort to reverse the social, systemic and psychological effects of centuries of slavery, legal subjugation and de facto discrimination.

I also believe that there are probably better, more permanent ways of doing this than simply writing a bunch of checks. But this is not the issue. I have my opinion, and you have yours.

On

And no matter how steadfastly we hold our beliefs, the only way that society will ever progress toward “truth” is through meaningful debate and discussion.

Instead of writing in and complaining about the decision to publish an unpopular viewpoint, write in and tell us why that viewpoint is wrong. Tell us why we ought to pay reparations. Tell us why reparations are better than affirmative action, or some form of meaningful structural change. Tell us why reparations are better than doing nothing at all.

By arguing against someone else’s position, we develop a richer understanding of our own. By foreclosing the possibility for any discussion or disagreement, we run the risk of vindicating views that we don’t really understand and cannot justify.

Moreover, ideas ought to

stand on their merits, not because competing ideas are suppressed. Back in the day, the Europeans thought the Earth was the center of the universe, and the church murdered those who disagreed. Turns out they were wrong, and it took someone espousing an unpopular opinion to set everyone straight.

Although nothing is certain, we stray farthest from the truth by dreaming up one viewpoint and proclaiming it to be the right one.

Perhaps people ought to be outraged by the views expressed in the ad, and it is certainly healthy to express this outrage. But to suggest that these views should be censored is a dangerous proposition indeed.

When 3.5 million refugees demand their universal right to return to the land from which they were forcibly removed they are asking for too much. Russian Jews wishing to “return” to Israel for the first time are granted citizenship on the spot, never having to know the meaning of being stateless.

With all of these factors to consider constantly pushed aside, we are left puzzled over what these senseless and illogical people are fighting for. The most common explanation given is that they simply do not want peace and would rather just fight, which is not entirely a logical

This has been proven in their historical compromise to establish a state on only 22 percent of the land that was once Palestine. At the very least and for the time being, the minimal requirements for peace are as pure and simple as this, an end to the very practices which the international community, led by the United States, has condemned and battled against across the world. Military occupation, economic suffocation and institutionalized racism have no place in today’s global society. But before any of that can be realized, we must bring an end to the politics of hypocrisy that has ensured its subsistence for far too long.

Death row inmates are not your friends Dirty water

m Lucas Schaefer My friend always says that a disproportionate number of weird things happen to me.

For example, for four summers I worked as a bellhop at a relatively nice hotel just outside of Boston. During my time there: I allowed a man who claimed to be a professional “chair repairman” to take all ofthe chairs out of the main lobby and put them into his van. Two-and-a-half-years later, the chairs still have not been recovered.

I chased a legless woman down the big hill leading up to the hotel after the woman’s daughter got distracted, let go of the woman’s wheelchair and proceeded not to notice as her mother rolled away.

I was approached early one morning by a man who told me that he had been jogging in the woods behind the hotel and had seen a dead body lying under a tree. He had sort of a strange smile on his face, so I thought he was joking around. In hindsight, I guess the smile was just the result of the shock of seeing a dead body lying under a tree.

Last semester, I began a project, documenting the lives of two death row inmates at North Carolina s Central Prison. The experience has been richly rewarding. It also has been stranger than the chair repairman, the rolling woman and the smiling jogger combined.

That’s because death row is one crazy, backward, screwy place. It’s a place rich with awful (and sometimes darkly comic) stories, guards with varying levels of sanity and men who have little left to live for.

But what about what death row isn’t? Despite what •

•

•

you see in movies, on TV and even in the pages of this newspaper, death row is not some romantic la-la land where bad men turned good always learn to confront their horrible pasts. It’s also not Hannibal Lecter Land either, with inmates who read Foucault over fava beans and a nice chianti. Too often death penalty abolitionists who use art as their medium —be it in movies and TV or through writing—romanticize the death row experience or portray death row as an exotic, mysterious place. With few notable exceptions (Dead Man

Were going to have to show that

the system is so corrupt so inhumane that no one deserves to die at the hands of the state ,

,

.

Walking comes to mind), inmates are usually portrayed as men wronged by the system, remorseful for their crimes. In movies, they are usually either not totally guilty (The Chamber ), or totally not guilty (.Dancer in the Dark, The Green Mile). Rarely does anyone defend the really crazy, mean-spirited guys (and they exist too!) who show no remorse for their crimes and seek to cause as much trouble as possible before being killed But if we ever truly hope to get rid of the death penalty, we’re going to have to start defending those men, too. We’re going to have to stop perpetuating the myth that death row is filled exclusively with innocents and “bad” guys who have turned around. We’re going to have to show that the system is so corrupt, so inhumane, that no one deserves to die at the hands of the state.

I don’t think we’re there yet. A few years ago, when Karla Faye Tucker claimed she had found God in prison, the big question everyone (journalists, writers, etc.) asked was, “Is it right to kill this person in the first place?” But when an angry monster like Tim McVeigh nears execution, the question changes from, “Is it right to execute?” to, “Is it right to show the execution five on TV?” That is why I find it so infuriating when I see artists and writers turning inmates into heroes. There is much to be learned from these men, no doubt. Their stories are important. Killing them—even the really psychotic ones—is wrong and stupid. But it’s a serious mistake to romanticize the death row “experience.” You don’t end up at the top of Central Prison for accidentally running over the neighborhood golden retriever.

You get there (and, by the way, if you are poor and black and have a court-appointed lawyer you get there a helluva lot faster) by shooting someone, by stabbing someone, by lighting someone on fire.

By romanticizing the experience and the inmates, sincere supporters of reform only add fuel to conservatives’ fire. In trying to portray the inmates as “victims,” abolitionists often reinforce the misconception that all death penalty opponents are soft on crime and pro-criminal.

The bottom line is that while there are some inmates who have changed and who want to share their stories and help others, there are also some pretty manipulative, bad guys out there.

If we ever truly want to change the system, we’re going to have to start writing about why they, too, should not be killed. There is nothing wrong with trying to “humanize” inmates; they are humans, after all. But in idealizing prisoners, in romanticizing the prison experience, activists are only hurting the men they are trying so hard to help.

“Nursing students are usually professionals getting their master’s degrees. Many go to school and have a job or a family, so we have different problems than a lot of others,” said Linda McNair, president of the Graduate Nursing Students Association.

“Many people in nursing don’t see what the point to GPSC is. [GPSC’s] priorities aren’t always things that are on our agenda.”

members, attendance at meetings rarely exceeds 30, with representation from some professional schools virtually nonexistent.

Because of such complications, Chancey, a third-year student in biomedical engineering, said the organization has tried to focus on issues that face all students, such as parking and housing. Others said the organization has been an exceptional resource for information affecting all students.

Regardless, GPSC and student government officials said they would like to do more. Simmelkjaer and McNair, for example, are interested in seeing if the council could provide more resources for internal school events.

GPSC representatives said they will also continue to encourage professional student participation at the organization’s biweekly meetings.

“The organization strives to cover as many student concerns as possible,” said Chancey. “Our difficulty has come when all these groups aren’t represented and don’t take part in discussion, because the organization can’t address their needs if we don’tknow what their needs are. Our job becomes really challenging at that point.”

The bill now goes to the House, where it faces an uncertain future, and while President George W. Bush has left the door open to signing any campaign finance bill that “improves the system,” he sidestepped questions about whether he could support a bill banning soft money.

The bill that passed the Senate yesterday ignores many ofthe principles Bush said he wanted to see in any legislation, and the White House stayed silent.

After the vote, McConnell said the numbers showed that Republicans could sustain a presidential veto. McCain said cautiously that he would not “pop a cork” until “the president of the United States signs the bill.”

The bill would make the most farreaching changes in how political parties and outside groups participate in campaigns since 1974, when Congress enacted a comprehensive set of contribution and spending limits in response to the Watergate scandal that drove Richard M.

Danke Shane

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.

When Shane Battier announced that he would

be returning for his senior season a little more than one year ago, the rising senior emphasized that one of the reasons he decided to stay in college was that he still had “a lot of things to accomplish.”

After being selected as national player of the year, serving as the chair of the NCAA’s Student Basketball Committee, being named the Final Four’s most outstanding player and winning a national championship, it is safe to say that Battier has been able to cross out everything on his “To Do” list.

And of course, his final conquest—giving Duke its second national championship in the Twin Cities and its third overall—caps a college career that can be described only as a masterpiece.

“It’s so good to coach him,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said of his fabled senior.

“In his career, our team won 133 games and lost 15. Are you kidding me?”

Last night, Lute Olson, the longtime Wildcat coach reminisced about how he was impressed with Battier the first time he set eyes on him.

“I remember when I saw him in high school, there was no comparison between him and anyone else you wanted to mention that year,” Olson said. “And the great thing with Shane is that he’s gotten better every year.”

Olson was not the only one to harp on the unquantifiable leadership qualities that Battier possesses. In fact, Krzyzewski views his senior tri-captain as sort of an on-court coach, a responsibility that he has only delegated to the best

It’s complete. All that’s left for me is to ride off into the sunset on a white horse.

players that have entered his program.

“I trust his leadership so much and what he’s going to say, that at the start of every practice, I allow him to be the guy speaking,” Krzyzewski said. “Usually, as a coach, I would get in their huddle and say something to them before each practice.

After about three days in October, I just stopped doing that and I allowed Shane to talk to the team. I’ve never done that with a kid.”

Battler’s excellent leadership qualities and on-court achievements would be enough to consider Battier as one of college basketball’s all-time greatest players. But apparently, it was not enough for the man himself, as he did exactly what people expected him to in last night’s Arizona game—lead his team to victory.

While the senior was never able to get his trademark jump shot going, he found other ways to contribute. Battier registered 11 rebounds, six assists and two blocks, all huge keys to his team’s victory.

But his biggest moments came in the clutch, when he scored on three straight Duke possessions, the first of which was a dunk following a Carlos Boozer miss.

Battier then tipped in a shot by Mike Dunleavy that had rimmed out, and he capped his run with a thunderous baseline jam which put Duke up by two possessions with three minutes remaining.

Of course, the Blue Devils sustained and even increased their lead, while

Battier concluded his magical journey through the college basketball world.

end it.”

Women’s tennis wins close one at UNC

By GREG VEIS The Chronicle

With the second-ranked Blue Devils up 3-2 in matches but on the verge of dropping No. 1 singles, all pressure fell upon the young shoulders of freshman

DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

AMANDA JOHNSON triumphes yesterday as Duke beats UNC.

Amanda Johnson.

Having dueled with Kate Pinchbeck for over two hours, Johnson found herself in a second set tiebreaker that would ultimately appear to decide the match—win and go home the hero; lose and see all momentum go to the 14th-ranked Tar Heels.

After having traded crushing groundstrokes for the whole tiebreaker, Pinchbeck finally sailed one several feet behind the baseline, giving Johnson a hard-fought 75, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (4) victory. More importantly, the triumph ensured a Duke victory (14-1, 2-0 in the ACC) over its bitter rival North Carolina (10-4,1-1) on the other side of Tobacco road.

“I am very happy with the victory,” Duke coach Jamie Ashworth said. “It was a very tough environment at UNC today. The crowd was extremely hostile and it seemed as if all the calls were going against us. We did a great job keeping our composure and if we didn't stay disciplined we wouldn’t have won today.”

While Johnson snatched the deciding match, several other Blue Devils played strong matches to put the freshman in that position.

The No. 2 singles contest between Megan Miller and the vocal Julie Rotondi proved to be the most heated. While Rotondi lobbed baseline moonballs all afternoon in an attempt to neutralize Miller’s power

game, the Duke seniorremained very patient in her 63, 7-5 victory.

Though it was a straight-set win, the match was far from being a cake walk. As Rotondi, a crowd favorite, yelled after every point and constantly complained about the officiating, Miller remained collected expecting that Rotondi’s emotion would eventually get the better of her actual play.

The contentiousness between the two combatants was indicative ofthe feeling that the two squads share for each other. The top three Tar Heel singles players all complained of poor officiating, and they did not appear to have any qualms about pinning these grievances directly on their opponents. Part of this behavior can be attributed to a great familiarity with the other team.

“I’ve known a couple of them for an extremely long time now” Siripipat said. “Against them, you just have to go on the court and leave all you have out there.”

The only other Blue Devil raking up a victory in singles play was Kathy Sell in a 6-2, 6-2 whomping of Lee Bairos. Her baseline dominance simply overpowered Bairos, who seemed to be scrambling to maintain a rally with the senior.

Hillary Adams retired in the first set of her No. 6 singles match after injuring her shoulder running after a ball. Freshman superhero Ansley Cargill fell 64, 7-6, to the 12th-ranked Marlene Mejia, whose huge left-handed forehand and sneaky backhand slice gave Cargill fits.

Note; With the win, Duke pulled even in Carlyle Cup standings with North Carolina, 17-17.

Olson regroups ’Zona on way to f inals MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.

Three

months removed from the drawn-out death of his wife Bobbi, the same question continues to trail Arizona coach Lute Olson.

Sometimes it is phrased directly: “How hard was the loss of Bobbi on you and your team, and what inspiration does she still provide?” Other times it appears slightly more veiled, something along the lines of, “is the motivation different this year than in years past?”

In any case, the reply is always the same. First a pause, almost like a moment ofsilence for his wife of 47 years, then the tears. For the most part, Olson conceals the tears, but they are still perceivable, welled up in the comers of his baby blue eyes. His answers are stilted, as if in disbelief that he still has to field questions about his wife on the night of the national championship game, three month to the day since Bobbi Olson succumbed New Year’s Day following a twoyear bout with ovarian cancer.

“There have been some difficult times along the way, but I think that has been

GREEWWALD “Srtne By BRODY ■nG UhrOniClG reporter, one of many the who asked inevitable last weekend in Minneapolis.

Surprisingly, Olson’s stature as one of the game’s all-time great coaches has not been documented nearly as well. By his own accounts, nearing the point of exhaustion, Olson came up short of his quest for a national championship and the fate of his coaching future has yet to

be determined. Regardless, he will always stand as one of the all-time greats to ever coach at the college level.

The legendary John Wooden may have been the Wizard of Westwood, but these days the West Coast’s yellow brick road leads directly to the McHale Center in Tucson, Ariz. Despite his defeat in last night’s national championship game, no active coach has done more than Olson when beginning with less.

And Olson did it twice—first at lowa, then at Arizona.

It took a little less than a miracle when Olson raised the Hawkeyes from dead

££ seasons from

1979-

1983, highlighted by

his trip to theFinal Four in 1980. But just as quickly as Olson rose to the top, he chose to start again at the bottom, leaving behind what he called a “lifetime contract” at lowa to accept a one-year deal with lowly Arizona, then just 1-17 in the Pac-10 conference.

Everyone, from Olson’s friends to his assistant coaching staff, laughed at him and called him foolish, and with a fair share of hindsight Olson can comfortably admit that his decision was a little on the crazy side. But, as he continued to do for the next 18 years, Olson made his choice not because of contracts, or money, or what made sense—he did it for his family, especially his wife. With the Olsons’ daughters located on the West Coast, Bobbi encouraged Lute to take the offer at Arizona, despite the struggles it would mean on the basketball court.

And the first year was tough, as Olson began building his team out of the

also-rans and leftovers that Pac-10 powers UCLA and Southern Cal balked at.

“There weren’t a whole lot ofkids from around the country that had dreamed of playing for a 1-17 team,” Olson recalls, adding that the team would have been a “perfect 0-18” if Stanford’s last-second game winner had not been disallowed.

Soon the wins began to pile up for Olson and in only his second season, the ’Cats received a bid to the NCAA tournament. They have not missed one since, giving Olson 17 consecutive appearances, the longest active streak in the nation.

Olson admits some of his team’s dramatic rise in prominence may have been the product of luck, as recruits like 1989 national player of the year Sean Elliott, a native of Tucson, practically fell into his lap. Still, even the modest and reserved Olson will be the first to say that his good fortune had a little bit more to do with effort than chance.

“There were lucky things that happened along the way,” he says, “but I’ve always been a believer that the harder you work, the luckier you get.”

Krzyzewski’s 3rd title places him atop sport’s elite plateau

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Most MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. the his sidelines, he crouches on games, chin resting softly in his hand, every little animation, the definition of the word composure.

But even Mike Krzyzewski, who in 21 years has seen it all at Duke, could not contain himself as the finality of the program’s third national title began to sink in last night.

First, there were the hugs, beginning with associate coach Johnny Dawkins, who came close to a national title of his own as national player of the year for the Blue Devils in 1986.

Back and forth across the Duke sideline Krzyzewski leapt, bouncing about in strides as large as the one his stature in college basketball’s history books took last night. With the championship, Krzyzewski moved past a distinguished group of coaches with two titles and equaled the three of his for-

mer mentor, Bob Knight.

“Wow, I don’t know if words could really put my feelings down,” said Shane Battier, when asked to describe what Krzyzewski has meant to him. “Coach is such a tremendous influence in my life.

To give him his third championship, and separate him from the pack that has won two, is the best way that I could go out.

It’s my going-away present to him.”

Krzyzewski, however, said the championship trophy is a present that is not his to accept. Preferring to keep the focus on Battier and the other players, Duke’s

coach insisted it was a season in which he was only along for the ride.

“It was the kind of way it should be,” Krzyzewski said of the title campaign. “It was like a storybook. I’m glad I was in the book. I wasn’t the main character, but I’m glad I was in the book.”

Krzyzewski said he wishes he could keep coaching this current squad, which

will lose seniors Battier and Nate James.

Unlike past seasons, he expressed no feelings of fatigue, either mental or physical, and his thoughts have already turned to

next season.

With the imminent departure of Battier, some question whether Duke’s reign will end in much the same fashion as it did in 1992 with the graduation of Christian Laettner. But as Duke saw last season when it finished No. 1 in the final polls after being devastated by the sudden exodus of four underclassmen, or this season when the Blue Devils won a national title only a month after Carlos Boozer’s injury supposedly knocked them out of contention, there is more to this program than one or two players.

“I think our program is not an era program; I think we’ve been pretty good year after year,” Krzyzewski said. “I don’t know, I think we’ll be really good next year.”

Among those in attendance at the Final

Four last night were Chris

Carrawell, David Henderson, Mark Alarie, Jay Bilas and Grant Hill. It is their constant devotion to him that has his peers in constant awe.

Clearly, one reason that Dunleavy was able to shine ‘Stay aggressive,”’ Dunleavy said. “Coach [Chris] Collins being aggressive brightly in the second half was the attention that had talk about so yesterday and I a long on offense. Shots didn’t go for me in the first half, but Arizona gave to Duke’s duo ofAll-Americans, Battier and sophomore Jason Williams. In large part, this extra that didn’t change my mindset.

“So many times, people are saying that if you stop his team.

“I think I’ve had a past of playing big in pretty big Shane and I, you can beat Duke,” Williams said. “We’re

so much bigger than that.... Like Mike said, he was due.

For the past few games our shots haven’t been falling. I could tell by the way Mike was shooting in the couple practices before that he was going to have a great game, and he did.”

Whether or not Dunleavy’s performance—both surprising and impressive—was an omen of things to come or merely an aberration remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure—his roommate Battier has passed the torch to Dunleavy, Williams and Carlos Boozer, all sophomores who will have a chance to duplicate the euphoric feeling they all felt last night. And Battier feels good about the prospect of Dunleavy succeeding in the way that he did throughout his four-year Duke career.

“Mike Dunleavy is not a great basketball player, he’s a phenomenal basketball player,” Battier said. “It was great to show what he could do. I think he’s overshadowed on this team. People talk about Jason and myself, but we believe Mike is just as good as us, so it’s no surprise to us that he came up huge in this game.”

Foul trouble nags Williams through game � CHAMPIONS from page 1

playing as a fist. Through adversity, through whatever, we stuck together and [were] a total team. Today is a great day, and I’m glad to bring it back to Durham—a national championship.”

Arizona nipped at Duke’s heels the entire second half, 20 minutes of basketball that saw the Wildcats come within two several times but never draw even. The Wildcats’ final push came with four minutes left as an 11-5 run cut Duke’s advantage to 73-70.

But then Battier, who had been overmatched offensively by Arizona’s Loren Woods for much of the game, put the Blue Devils on his back and carried them to the national championship.

Following a rare miss by Dunleavy, Battier soared for an off-balance tipin; Duke’s senior then elevated from the baseline for a thundering twohanded slam after hauling in a rifle cross-court pass from Williams.

Williams’ back-breaking three-pointer with a minute-and-a-half left was all but the icing on the cake.

In a season that saw doubters abound and adversity challenge a Duke squad more than any in Battier’s career, the Naismith player of the year celebrated in style as the clock ticked down, lifting up teammate, roommate and unsung hero Dunleavy in an emotional on-court embrace.

“I was trying to take it in,” Battier said of the game’s final moments. “I said a quick prayer, just thanking the Lord for the opportunity. After all our hard work, to be at that point, looking up at the clock, 10 seconds to go—words can’t do justice to what I felt at

that moment.”

Early in the game, with Arizona clinging to a slim lead midway through the half, Krzyzewski took the first significant gamble when he reinserted Williams into the lineup despite the point guard’s foul problems.

Williams had picked up his second foul less than five minutes into the game on a careless hand-check, but his

return five minutes later was promptly followed by two layups by fellow sophomore Carlos Boozer.

Duke never trailed the rest of the game, taking a two-point lead into halftime after Williams’ lightning-quick drive to the basket produced a goaltending call against Arizona forward

Richard Jefferson with six seconds left.

“I love being on the court, especially in games and in situations where it’s critical,” said Williams, who in the second half came close to getting whistled for his fifth foul on a couple of bumps with Arizona players. “When you play with great players, it just makes it that much easier to play the game.”

The title-clincher in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome repeated Duke’s march through the NCAA tournament in 1992, with both championship runs going from Greensboro to Philadelphia to Minneapolis. In contrast to when Duke stomped Michigan by 20 points in the ’92 final, though, the Blue Devils survived a dogfight with Arizona, the nation’s preseason No. 1 team.

The two teams comprised all five of the All-Final Four team, which included Woods and Jefferson from Arizona along with Dunleavy, Williams and Battier from Duke.
