The University committee studying the state of cultural space on campus released its highly anticipated report Tuesday, which recommended the expansion of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture and the establishment of a multicultural center nearby in the Bryan Center.

Citing “a lack of belonging and inclusion” on campus, especially among racial and ethnic minorities, the Cultural Space Committee suggested that allocating more space would place a higher value on cultural identity.

Interest in the possible construction of a multicultural center has heightened in recent months, with discussion taking place in such forums as Duke Student Government campaigns and the Duke Student Movement protests. The recommen-

Their report says defined space is a prerequisite for improving cultural interaction.

Contrasting the current locations of fraternities and the Mary Lou Williams Center, the committee’s report suggests creating more cultural space in buildings will lead to easy access and greater campus presence.

“Designating permanent space for institutions on campus not only provides its validation, but also represents it as an ideology that the University is consistently committed to pursuing,” the report reads, citing the Chapel as an example of the power of visibility.

Specifically, the report proposes utilizing the planned expansion of the Bryan Center as space for all cultures to interact on a daily basis.

A multicultural center, according

dations released this week could clear the way for final plans for such a center.

Master’s student Trustees OK residential changes drowns at beach

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

The Board of Trustees approved three key changes to residential life last weekend at a meeting that also addressed the new budget, the men’s NCAA basketball championship and recent math team wins. The residential changes include moving all sophomores to West Campus by 2006, initiating links between East and West Campus dormitories and creating an independent corridor

Timothy “Russ” Allen died tragically just days before he was scheduled to receive his graduate degree in public policy and months before he was to attend law school at Duke.

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Timothy “Russ” Allen, a public policy master’s student scheduled to graduate last

Sunday and enter the School of Law this fall, drowned May 8 while vacationing on the Outer Banks. He was 24.

Allen’s Mends and teachers described him as fun-loving, giving and passionate about his work. “Russ was a person who was of many interests and full of life,” said Kevin Corcoran, Allen’s classmate and Mend. Timothy “Russ” Allen “He was always willing to help out people and always looking to help out people.”

Corcoran, Allen and several other graduate students took an end-of-exams trip to the North Carolina coast last week. The afternoon that Allen arrived in Kill Devil Hills, he went for a swim in the ocean, where he struggled against high waves and a strong current.

Helen Ladd, director of graduate studies in public policy, spoke to several students there who said they heard Allen cry for help shortly after he entered the See ALLEN

“I was very gratified by their action,” said William Chafe, vice provost for undergraduate education. “I think it means well have very significant changes on West Campus and that this will provide the structural foundation for building a better campus community.”

Chafe chaired a task force that recommended the changes in a late

The suggestions were triggered by fragmentation of upperclass residential life. The report cited demographic segregation along racial and ethnic lines; Thirty-one percent of students on East Campus are minorities, but that number See TRUSTEES on page 9 Py

White House outlines energy policy

The president said the U.S. is facing its worst energy shortage since the 1970s

By RON FOURNIER Associated Press

President much-awaitin Bush, his George W. ed energy plan, will warn today that the United States faces “the most serious energy shortage since the oil embargo of the 19705.”

Bush will order federal agencies to dismantle regulatory barriers that slow gas, electrical, coal and nuclear power production and propose opening federal lands for oil drilling.

He also will encourage conservation, setting aside most of the $5 billion in new tax incentives for people who buy energy-efficient cars or use alternative energies. The 163page policy, developed by a task

WASHINGTON

force headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, also orders a review of fuel economy standards with an eye toward possibly requiring them to be more fuel-efficient.

“A fundamental imbalance between supply and demand defines our nation’s energy crisis,” says the report, a portion ofwhich the White House released Wednesday night.

“This imbalance, if allowed to con-

tinue, will inevitably undermine our economy, our standard of living, and our national security.”

While Bush compared today’s problems to the 19705, energy experts have noted that there are plenty of supplies of crude oil and gasoline. In the 19705, a disruption

of oil imports caused long gas lines and fuel rationing.

The White House planned to release the report today in connection with Bush’s speech on the topic in St. Paul, Minn.

To sell his plan, Bush must navigate among hundreds of issue groups, governors and local officials

with competing concerns.

Even before it was released, Democrats said the policy would endanger the environment and do nothing to lower prices now. Some Republicans demanded quick fixes not found in the report, fearing the public will blame them in 2002 congressional elections if energy prices soar.

Freeh admits FBI erred in McVeigh case

FBI Director Louis Freeh acWASHINGTON knowledged at a congressional hearing Wednesday that his agency had committed a “serious error” when it failed to turn over thousands of pages of interview reports in the Oklahoma City bombing case to lawyers for Timothy McVeigh, who was sentenced to death for the crime.

Freeh announced at the House hearing that he had ordered immediate corrective steps, among them a one-day agency-wide suspension of Ml routine FBI functions to retrain employees in records management. In addition, he said he had launched a search to hire a “world-class records expert.”

In his first public comments on the FBl’s records

lapse, Freeh offered a detailed account of how the breakdown occurred. But even as he acknowledged the mishandling of documents, he echoed comments by Attorney General John Ashcroft that none of the material would undercut the guilty verdict against McVeigh.

“The FBI committed a serious error by not ensuring that every piece of informationwas properly accounted for and when appropriate provided to the prosecutors so that they could fulfill their discovery obligations,” Freeh said.

The lapse last week forced Ashcroft to delay the execution of McVeigh until June 11. The death sentence

had been scheduled to be carried out yesterday.

McVeigh’s lawyers have received copies of the documents and have said they are reviewing their legal options, including seeking a further delay of the execution.

Baker to depart Duke, go to MIT � Dean of Student Development Barbara Baker announced last week that she will leave Durham to take a similar position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

One of Dean of Student Development Barbara Baker’s first tasks when she arrived at Duke in 1995 was to implement a plan smoothing the transition to an all-freshmen East Campus. It turned out to be one of her most gratifying experiences at Duke.

But as the University gears up for more major res-

idential changes—this time for will upperclassmen—Baker leave Durham June 15 to become the associate dean for student life programs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“It was a personal decision to move to the Boston area, where family is located,” Baker said.

“My husband is up there as well, which makes [the MIT po- Barbara Baker sition] a little more convenient.”

Clack praised Baker’s work at Duke and leadership within her office and said he would miss her dearly. “[We’ll missl her competence, her kindness [andl her warmth. She’s a great colleague and a great friend.”

Baker’s responsibilities at MIT will be similar to those she had at Duke and will include oversight of student activities, residential life and programs, greek life, independent living groups and the community service center.

“Her name came up at the top of the list,” said MIT Dean of Student Life Larry Benedict, who began MlT’s search two months ago. “She went through the review process with flying c010r5.... She has a wealth of experience and completely understands the field of student leadership.”

The University has not yet announced Baker’s interim replacement—she announced her departure just last week—and it is likely that incoming Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta will choose her permanent successor.

Council OKs online evaluations

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Undergraduate access to course evaluation data became a reality at the May 3 Arts and Sciences Council meeting, when faculty members approved a plan from the administration and student leaders to post the informationfrom the new evaluation forms online.

“What we’re trying to do is make the best use of the information that we have here,” said Matt Serra, assistant professor of psychology. He and Abhijit Prabhu, incoming Duke Student Government vice president for academic affairs, presented the council with the preliminary design of the web page that will be known as the Student Accessible Course Evaluations System.

The web page will only include answers to the machine-readable questions from the form, bypassing the long-time debate over how to provide registering students with written comments about a particular course.

Instead, the written evaluations will be used

mainly by professors and departments. In addition, Serra said the system will provide professors the opportunity to post online responses to data from their classes, allowing them a chance to offer explanations for some of the ratings.

Prabhu, a senior, said the evaluation data will be linked from each course on the bookbag section of ACES, allowing students to view opinions of a course while registering.

“It makes it easier and more secure when ACES already has all this other information, from your grades to art history courses, to have evaluations there too,” Prabhu said. He added that SAGES will likely be online by November and possibly as soon as August, depending on the development of online software.

SAGES will attempt to give undergraduates as much information as possible, Prabhu said, including the full texts of questions and the means and medians for majors and non-majors. Eventually, he said, students will be able to search an See A&S MEETING on page 20 P

»Angioplasty drug reduces complications A clot-blocking drug given to patients during angioplasty appears to reduce the risk of heart attack and death in the six months after the procedure by about 37 percent, according to a study conducted in the Medical Center and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Previous research showed that eptifibatide, sold as Integrilin, significantly reduces complications in the 48 hours after angioplasty. The Duke researchers said the findings suggest that doctors should consider using drugs like Integrilin for all angioplasty patients.

Drugs may not be Insomniacs’ best bet

Insomniacs may fare better by trading medications for sleeping-habit modifications. Research conducted at the Duke and Durham Veterans Affairs medical centers found that training patients to limit naps during the day, nighttime television viewing and time spent in bed decreased episodes of sleep interruption. Study group patients averaged a 50 percent decrease in the time spent awake after initially falling asleep. The form of insomnia examined in the study—called persistent primary insomnia—affects an estimated 14 million Americans, most over 40. Researchers reported their results in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Nurses finish online degree program By

JOHN BUSH

The Chronicle

Although Sunday’s commencement ceremony was just another stepping stone for the graduates, for rural hospitals across the state it may make the difference between life and death.

As part of the School of Nursing’s new Partnerships for Training program, 13 graduates who took their courses online will soon take their expertise where it is most needed—to relatively undeveloped areas of the state.

“The focus is to provide medical care to underserved communities, and as long as that need is there, [some form of] the program will be as well,” said School of Nursing Dean Mary Champagne. “These were people trying to work full-time and take on additional

responsibilities.”

Although the program does not require its students to stay in their communities, it selects candidates based on their commitment to do so, Champagne said.

That commitment could help fill the nationwide nursing shortage, which can be particularly frustrating for rural communities. “They’re having a hard time recruiting mid-level people,” said recent PFT graduate Linda Heath. “If you’re not from here, you’re not going to stay here.” Heath, who graduated from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, currently works at the Clinton Medical Center in Clinton, N.C. Some health care facilities, like Alleghany Memorial Hospital in Sparta, have already begun hiring graduates of distance-learning programs. “We’re fairly remote in the mountains of North Carolina,” said Wes Wood, the hospital’s compliance officer and risk manager. “It is difficult and expensive to send nurses out [here].”

SACDs also contain standard two-channel recordings for lower-fidelity playback on regular CD players.

Panasonic will introduce a $299 unit this summer that combines DVD-Audio and video DVD with progressive scan, a formerly expensive technology that improves picture quality when connected to a digital television.

Even if the price tempts you, you may still not have the right ancillary gear to do the job. DVD-Audio and SACD decks must be hooked up to receivers thathave six distinct analog inputs, rather than the one digital jack that video DVD players use. While a number of low-priced models will soon hit the market, a recent trip to a Costco store showed not one receiver for sale that was compatible with DVD-Audio or SAC.

Robert Pratt, formerly of Mebane, was found guilty on two counts of first-degree kidnapping, one count of second-degree kidnapping, two counts of first-degree sexual offense and one count of first-degree rape.

Pratt is already serving 21 to 26 years for previous convictions.

In 1998, investigators began to suspect Pratt after finding similarities to a case concerning the attempted rape of a Cary woman. DNA evidence subsequently confirmed Pratt’s involvement in the 1995 incident.

Malone’s lawyer requests SunTrust makes $13.6 change in venue of trial billion bid for Wachovia � Shannon Tucker, the lawyer for David Patrick Malone, says a Nov. 28 article ensures her client will not receive a fair trial in Durham.

From staff reports The lawyer for accused gunman David Patrick Malone filed a motion earlier this month to change the location of his upcoming trial from Durham County, citing a

potentially tainted jury pool.

Malone, 46, allegedly entered President Nan Keohane’s office last Sept. 6 with a loaded gun and threatened to kill himself if he could not speak David Patrick Malone to her. He has pled not guilty in Superior Court to three counts of first-degree kidnapping and one count of having a weapon on

campus. Attorney Shannon Tucker cited an interview with Malone published in the Herald-Sun of Durham and jurors’

possible “deep-seeded loyalties to Duke University.”

These potential biases, she wrote in the motion, constitute “so great a prejudice against the defendant that he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial” in Durham County.

The motion will be heard the week of June 11, Assistant District Attorney Mitchell Garrell said.

He added that he has not yet formally decided whether to oppose the motion, but he said he will likely argue against a change of venue.

The specific article cited by Tucker was published Nov. 28 and was based on a Herald-Sun interview with Malone.

In the interview he admitted to entering Keohane’s office with a gun, but said he did not point the weapon at anyone. The former Duke employee also described an incident from 1990 or 1991 in which a supervisor allegedly turned on him after Malone tried to bring to light inaccuracies in medical testing.

Speakers share thoughts with graduates Duke loses request for

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Some things are constant at Duke graduations—the colorful and arcane flowing robes of academia, the conferring of degrees upon newly minted “educated men and women” and, without fail, the Eruditio et Religio et Basketbalho joke.

What made last Sunday different was the commencement address’ global perspective. Patching together several anecdotes from her experiences as a reporter and CNN bureau chief in South Africa, Charlayne Hunter-Gault urged the Class of 2001 to go beyond the nightly news to learn about other cultures and ideas. “As you move out from this place to your space in a century that is new, you have the unique opportunity to shape it and establish its

arbitration

legacy,” she said.

Hunter-Gault encouraged the 3,500 Duke undergraduates, graduate and professional students, including a recordhigh 15 black Ph.D. students, to challenge racial and cultural boundaries.

Breaking the norm is exactly what Hunter-Gault did when she became one ofthe first black students admitted to the University of Georgia. “I believed I knew most of what I needed to know ever in the world, and that I was ready to take on the world,” Hunter-Gault said of her time in Atlanta. “In the intervening years, I have learned to harness the unbridled hubris of my 21-year-old self.”

As a journalist, Hunter-Gault went on to apply her own perspective on race, winning two Emmy awards and two George Foster Peabody awards—one for her work on the 1986 PBS series focusing on South African life under apartheid.

THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE

DAN MALLORY, Trinity ’Ol, entertained the Class of 2001 with a whimsical speech about life and finding your own way.

And when civil rights leader Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990, Hunter-Gault was one of two journalists to interview the future president of an apartheid-free South Africa Hunter-Gault calls herself a child of Africa and shared with graduates the

lessons she has learned there. She told them the story of Wendy, a 12-year-old South African with AIDS and spoke about the 24 million African lives claimed by AIDS and death and civil war in northern Uganda.

But she stressed that Africa is not just about death, disease, war and turmoil. She spoke of the land’s beauty and the hope of a continent “pregnant with the dreams of millions of people,”

while chiding a global “ethos of superiority” that still clings to old attitudes about Africa.

The University awarded Hunter-Gault and political advisor David Gergen honorary degrees in humane letters and also gave musical composer Patrick Williams, Trinity ’6l, a degree in fine arts.

Prior to Hunter-Gault’s address, Dan Mallory, Trinity ’Ol, used humor to convey some of the lessons he learned during his time at Duke.

“An attitude will get you somewhere, if not anywhere,” Mallory quipped in his speech, outlining the path he had taken and the sense of individualism he had gained over his undergraduate career.

From staff reports Last week, Duke lost its first pretrial battle in a medical malpractice suit, filed last January, which alleges that doctors failed to diagnose a 3year-old with pneumonia in 1999, resulting in her death. Judge Evelyn Hill rejected Duke’s request to move to an arbitration system.

Duke attorney John Simpson declined to comment on the case but said the University plans to appeal.

Lawyers for Amber Pettus’ estate said the child’s parents want a jury to determine the verdict and fear that Duke wants to keep the case private.

“Once it goes to arbitration, it’s out of the public’s eye, and there won’t be any press coverage,” said Carlos Mahoney, one of Pettus’ attorneys.

“There won’t be any record of it at the

court house.”

Mahoney said Pettus had Down Syndrome and severe congenital heart defects—a condition that makes patients more susceptible to infection. He said Pettus was treated for upper respiratory infections at Duke Hospital during the month of January 1999, but that Duke did not perform a blood test or take a chest Xray—procedures that could have determined that Pettus had pneumonia. Pettus died the night of Jan. 31.

Council hears report on Academic Priorities Committee

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle In the last and shortest meeting of the school year, the Academic Council heard a series ofupdates from university leaders about a number of projects and initiatives.

John Simon, chair of the Academic Priorities Committee, spoke about the

committee’s work over the last two years. During his time as chair, Simon said, the committee has evolved from a provost advisory group into a stronger voice that has helped set important university priorities during the strategic planning period. Simon, who also chairs the Department of Chemistry, said during the past two years meetings have

been filled with lively debate with the provost over issues lie strategic planning and administrative responses to departmental issues.

The council also received reports from two senior administrators. The first was from William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, who updated the council on the progress of residential life changes. The presentation, which stressed the residential plan’s efforts to confront segregation on West Campus, met with only a handful of faculty comments and questions.

President Nan Keohane also briefly attended the meeting to update the faculty on the administrative response to demands by members of Duke Student

not given them a proper education.”

Several council members, however, argued that the advertisement controversy served only as an indicator of much larger troubles on campus.

Council Chair Peter Burian, a professor of classical studies, also announced thatVice Provost for Academics and Administrative Services Judith Ruderman will head a search committee to find a successor for William King, the University archivist. King, the University’s first archivist, will step down after thirty years in December.

The council also approved the nominations of candidates for various degrees from each of the University’s eight schools.

Movement. Keohane explained that a

number of task forces and committees will begin to investigate issues such as student social space, black faculty recruitment and campus climate.

John Staddon, James B. Duke professor of experimental psychology, suggested that administrators might be addressing the wrong set of problems.

Instead, Staddon said administrators should consider why protesters did not transform the debate over the publications of an anti-reparations advertisement in The Chronicle into an academic discussion.

“What is wrong with their education that they would react this way?” he asked. “This could signal that we have

Georgiade, former plastic surgery chief, dies at home Dr. Nicholas Georgiade, professor emeritus and for-

mer chief of plastic, maxillofacial and reconstructive surgery, died at his Durham home May 13. He was 82.

Georgiade, a World War II veteran and Lowell, Mass., native, joined the Duke faculty in 1954 after graduating from the Columbia University School ofDental and Oral Surgery in 1944 and the Duke School ofMedicine in 1950. Following a long VTuii/d IILWa Duke career, he retired in 1989.

Professionally, Georgiade was Dnirrc known for the impact he made in maxillofacial and breast reconstruction surgery. He contributed to over 25 textbooks on plastic surgery and served as president of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. Georgiade is survived by his wife Ruth, three children—Dr. Gregory Georgiade, Robert Georgiade and Nancy Riefkohl—and four grandchildren. Memorial services will be private. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to charity or to Duke’s Plastic Surgery Research Fund. ______

estimating the institution’s 1999-2000 economic impact on the city and county of Durham to be approximately $2.23 billion. A 1997 report estimated

the amount to be $1.9 billion.

The report states that Duke, the fourth-largest nongovernmental employer in the state, contributed $1.22 billion to Durham in employment. Its 34,979-person workforce included 18,599Durham residents. The report says Duke’s $340 million in research funding during the year created 13,294 Durham jobs.

Robertson Scholars announced: The Robertson Scholars Program announced the selection of its first class May 7. Fourteen of the 30 scholars hail from the Carolinas, and the remaining students come from nine other states, Washington, D.C., Norway and Hong Kong.

The initiative, a joint full-tuition merit scholarship program between Duke and the University of North Car-

will triculate at UNC, and Participants will also spend a semester at the institution to which they did not matriculate and will receive credit for education at both UNC and Duke.

Duke professor wins book award: Alice Kaplan, professor of romance studies and literature, won the Los Angeles Times Book Awards for history for her book, The Collaborator: The Trial and Execution of Robert Brasillach.

The book traces the life of Robert Brasillach, a French writer and editor of a pro-fascist publication who was arrested as a Nazi collaborator after the fall ofFrance’s Vichy government.

Judges said that Kaplan “writes with a rare beauty and striking control over her material.... This is history as it should be written.” The prize, established in 1980, carries both prestige and a $l,OOO award.

Trustees approve budget for fiscal year 2001-2002 P TRUSTEES from page 1 drops to 25 percent on Main West. Figures are even lower for residential fraternities, which occupy much of Main West.

The Board agreed with much of the report, calling the changes “consistent with the goals... of promoting diversity in all aspects of university life and nurturing the personal and intellectual growth of students by building community in social, civic and academic realms.”

When the report was released, administrators were still debating the requirement that all sophomores live on West, but Chafe said it is the only way to create a representative community.

Outgoing Interfratemity Council President Chris Dieterich, Trinity ’Ol, said he worried about potentially pushing seniors off West.

“The more you tilt your population toward your youngest members numerically, the more youlose the aspect of mentorship,.,. That’s bad for Duke. That’s bad for the students.”

Regarding the independent corridor, Dieterich said he was ambivalent. But incoming IFC President Mike Wick, a senior, said he felt it was a step in the wrong direction.

“It’s unfortunate someone could walk through Duke’s campus and not see one selective living group or fraternity” Wick said, adding that selective living groups provide valuable programming.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: The Trustees also approved a $678 million operating budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, up 4.4 percent over the current year. Including funds restricted for special purposes and sponsored research funding, the overall budget will total

$1,183 billion.

The budget takes into account a 4.2 percent increase in undergraduate tuition, fees, room and board and over $BO million in financial aid.

The Board also heard reports from President Nan Keohane, Academic Council Chair Peter Burian, outgoing Duke Student Government President Jordan Bazinsky, outgoing Graduate and Professional Student Coun-

cil President Cybelle McFadden and The Campaign for Duke Chair Peter Nicholas.

Nicholas reported that the University remains on track to hit its $2 billion goal, despite fears that a slowing economy might substantially reduce contributions.

The Board also heard from incoming Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta and incoming Dean of the Medical School Sandy Williams.

Durham Public Schools Superintendent Ann Denlinger made a presentation to the Board, thanking Duke for its efforts on the Neighborhood Partnership Initiative, which seeks to make connections between the University and surrounding neighborhoods.

The Board also celebrated honors earned by Duke students in the past several months. It officially congratulated the mathematics team for winning the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition and Matthew Baugh, Trinity ’Ol, for his Rhodes and Truman scholarships and the men’s basketball team on its NCAA championship.

Amores Perros deftly weaves three stories of humans and their canines—it’s nothing to growl at

By Martin Barna

A

dog is a man's best friend. They fetch our slippers, come when called, obey our commands and sometimes, it seems, read our moods from our scent and slouch. And we pay dogs back for it—with trips to the woods for hunting and trips to the groomer for a pedicure.

Dogs and man have become close. So close, in fact, that in the sublime Amores Perros the tragic, lovesick characters begin meet their canine equivalents.

With loose grammatical guidelines, the English-subtitled film's title translates to "Love's a bitch"—An exceptionally apt title for a film that intricately weaves three plot lines, a la Pulp Fiction, into a larger tale of love, loss and betrayal.

Unlike other Pulp Fiction clones, Amores Perros leaves out the rapid-fire, wholly unbelievable Tarantino-style talk. It's a relief; and it's shockingly real.

Opening with a daredevil car chase through the streets of Mexico City, we meet Octavio. His dog, Cofi, is lying on the back seat of his car, bleeding from a wound. Running from gun-toting lowlifes, Octavio ponders to a companion how he got in this mess. In his attempt to outmaneuver his pursuers, Octavio runs a red light, totaling his auto and the car of Valeria, who was out for a drive with her own dog.

Witnessing the accident is El Chivo (The Goat), a mysterious homeless man who pushes a cart through the town, followed by a large pack of his own GRAD dogs. m that point e story moves irward and backward in me, cruising ugh the lives of ee central

THE MYSTERIOUS "EL CHIVO": Traveling the streets of Mexico with a pack of wild dogs, this homeless man only looks harmless,

brother. To win her love, Octavio tries to earn money for herby entering Cofi into bloodthirsty dogfights.

As he slowly buys her affection, and as Cofi becomes more vicious in the ring, Octavio grows ruthless —he orders his brother to be beaten to a bloody mess and he sexually assaults Susana. Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and writer Guillermo Arriaga are not saying that people influence their dogs, but that our dogs eventually seem to influence us. For Octavio, love of Susana changes from juvenile infatuation to animal-like lust. This leads him to kill a man and take part in the car chase; Valeria, a gorgeous perfume model, suffers massive leg injuries from the car accident, but the wounds are not what cripple her. Her dog, Richie, falls into a hole in the floor of her apartment and becomes trapped between the floorboards, along with a few thousand rats.

She spends all her time waiting for her dog to crawl out of the floor, exhibiting the ensnared feeling. Her older boyfriend, Daniel, can only watch. Even after Richie is rescued, Valeria will not be the same.

I will not reveal much about the story of El Chivo. His comes last in the film and inevitably ties up all the loose ends. Let me just say that the actor playing El Chivo, Emilio Echevarria, pulls off a tremendous performance. We slowly learn that his character is by far the most troubled of the three, and it only gets worse when he rescues Cofi from the scene of the accident.

In the end, the film is not about the people-as-dogs metaphor as much as it is about how people, like dogs, can. express the emotion of love so wrongfully that it can cause great pain and lead us to doing horrific things. The theme is not new, but there is something so real in Amores Ferros' telling of this story that haunts the viewer long after the credits roll.

Lastly, this film is rated R for a reason. The dogfighting scenes are very graphic, and while the Humane Society's stamp of approval shows up in the end titles, the blood and the reality of this movie are not for the mildly squeamish. □

A Knight's Tale DIR! BRIAN HELGELAND. WITH: HEATH LEDGER, RUFUS SEWELL, MARK ADDY, PAUL BETTANY,

Instructions for viewing A Knight's Tale : 1) Remove stick from ass; 2) Sit back and smile. The movie, which takes place in 14th century England and stars Aussie hunk Heath Ledger, isn't historically accurate, or even well written. It's painfully predictable and really cheesy. It's also way too much fun.

A Knight's Tale is about a bunch of guys proving they have the biggest... swords. The movie follows poor squire William Thatcher (Ledger) as he enters a series of jousting tournaments, impersonates royalty, finds a fan base, meets the princess and battles the nasty bluebloods for happily-ever-after. It's a magnetic poetry plot, pieced together with pre-packaged story points. What makes A Knight's Tale jive is a standout supporting cast, some very clever moments, and really exciting fight scenes. Heavy metal takes on new meaning as swords collide and heads bang to the ground, with soldiers knocked off their horses to the tune of Queen's "We Will Rock You." The movie's soundtrack is totally modern, which GRADE: would be fine if the songs were better. A slew of from the Mighty Ducks era pollute this film—tunes from "The Boys are Back in Town" to "We Are the Champions." Sometimes, relief comes in the form of mellow techno beats.

A Knight's Tale takes its title from the first Canterbury Tale, written by Geoffrey Chaucer—'who is also a character in this

flick. Played by Paul Bettany, the hilarious and passionate Chaucer is a sidekick worthy of his own sequel (maybe Chaucer in Love7). Laura Fraser is equally WHEN YOU LOOK as good as Ledger, your movie will not luminous as need trivial things—like a decent plot or intelligent script. £

blacksmith who makes magic armor. Heath is solid in his role, as is his true love, a princess played by Shannyn Sossamon.

Both are better actors than their material, as is the sexy Rufus Sewell, doing his bad-guy shtick.

Overall verdict? It's difficult to admit it in print, but yeah, we dug it. Rufus and Heath are totally hot, Shannyn and Laura are totally cool, and Paul Bettany is absolutely droolworthy. Mad props to the cast of A Knight's Tale for forgetting about their big swords and having tons of fun.

And letting us watch.

The Sopranos Peppers and Eggs: Music from the HBO Original Series Recipe for a soundtrack: Take one part Three Dog Night, add a cover of a Bob Dylan or Paul Simon song done by a new, "edgy" artist, mix with a convoluted cut of rap and toss in half-adozen recent single B-sides. Then find a film or television series to match your soundtrack with Nine times out of ten, soundtracks suck.

And then there is Peppers and Eggs, the second soundtrack to The Sopranos. The show, which wraps up its third season this Sunday, has redefined musical direction for both the big and little screen. Frequent viewers of the show are as obsessed with the song playing

The Mouse is in the house with Sad Sappy Sucker—a release of old material

By Greg Bloom

Permit

me to break protocol for a moment. Modest Mouse is arguably the most dynamic and interesting band in the country —an argument strongly supported by last year's epic of unprecedented scope and dark, weary beauty, The Moon and Antarctica.

But if Recess happens to be the only source for all your pop culture info, then chances are you've probably never heard of them, because we've only mentioned them once after four albums and years of touring.

Oops. Rather than continue our marginalization of these indie-rock mystics by grading this first-time release of their long-lost "infant" album on its immature and sometimes feckless composition, I'm abusing the power of reviewer to draw the attention of anyone who might still be in the dark. Go buy Moon and Antarctica post-haste, and then we'll talk about Sad Sappy Sucker.

Back? Someone hearing Modest Mouse for the first time with this album would probably be turned off; like most songs in their large catalog, this bunch takes a few runs through before any of it sounds like more than a collection of half-baked ideas—and even then it's a bit uncooked. Recorded when frontman Isaac Brock was a teenager and before bassist Eric Judy replaced their two extraneous guitarists, Sucker shows every bit of the band's very young age.

Despite 26 tracks, it runs just a little moi than half an hour. Many songs are under a minute, and several apparently were recon ed on an answering machine—short burst: one-offs that can only be of passing intere: to completists. The real songs largely lack wicked lyrics and never-ending mathematL riff equations that drone into the sublime. For anyone well-steeped in Mouse canon, however, nuggets such

during the end titles as they are with the plot arcs {my prediction for

Sunday—Christopher dies). Creator David Chase

oversees the selection of music for the show; his selections demonstrate a level of creativity and aptness that is absent from other soundtracks A Sopranos song always has some meaning or relationship to a larger theme of the show or episode. Nils Lofgren's haunting "Black Boots" captures the depression that Carmella Soprano

felt midway through this season. Kasey Chambers' ode to dependency, "The Captain," defines the Gloria Trillo. The Kinks' "Living on a Thin Line" opened and closed the season's most controversial episode, where a stripper was brutally beaten by her mobster boyfriend.

Peppers and Eggs also has a cover—Bob Dylan sings the unpoetic, yet appropriate Dean Martin tune "Return to Me." Somehow Dylan's voice and subtle musical changes make it seem GRADE: like a deep, transcending song. Add Elvis Costello, R.L. Burnside and j| Pigeonhed, and you have an album more diverse than a multicultural center. Toss in an Italian Massive Attack-sound-atike named Madreblu and Otis Redding and you have a dish that will entertain the pickiest of guests.

their hat back. Miniature Liberty Bells were so last year, as "Worms vs. Birds," "From Point A to Point B" and "It Always Rains On A Picnic" are pleasingly raw predecessors to Brock's (somewhat) more mature art.

The timing of this release is perhaps questionable After the monstrous hype surrounding The Moon and Antarctica, this is an awkward follow-up, even from the archives —sort of like scoring with a hot date and then showing her your old collection of Magic cards and Star Trek costume apparel. from the vantage point of a true believer, 'keTs jagged edges and scraggly amarism can be exciting in its undiscipline. ering within these baby photos the tiny eds of a distinct sound that has now own ripe and full gives hope that Moon >nd Antarctica was not the peak of Modest artistry, but the first classic in a long chain of good-and-evil, life-and-death musical ponderings.

The Chronicle

Established 1905,Incorporated 1993

Search for justice

Wednesday

was the scheduled date for Timothy McVeigh’s execution. One week ago today, however, the Department of Justice revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had failed to turn over some information to McVeigh’s lawyers. The DOJ claims that the information—several thousand pages of documents—would not have altered the verdict ofthe case. Justice Department officials, however, have delayed the execution until mid-June as a precaution. The good news from this mistake is that the FBI found the problem and reported it quickly; the bad news is that there was a problem at aU. Delaying the execution was the prudent and appropriate action for Attorney General John Ashcroft to take. Reports of the discovery of additional evidence after the delay only add to the confusion. The death penalty represents the ultimate, uncorrectable punishment. If someone’s life is to be taken, then no loose threads should remain to damage the credibility of the punishment.

Justice relies upon information, and that information apparently was unavailable for McVeigh’s defense. Although these documents represent a small fraction ofthe vast amount of data compiled for the investigation, not only ofMcVeigh but of various leads investigators pursued in the aftermath ofthe Oklahoma City bombing, their emergence cannot be ignored. Everyone deserves justice, even those who commit the most despicable crimes.

Standard procedure should be followed in the courts to handle this newly discovered information. The bureau has clearly erred. The threshold for a new trial, however, should be the same as would be followed in any context. Punishing the Justice Department should not be a desire that takes precedence over standard practices. At the same time, the public push for McVeigh’s execution should not influence the process.

While the courts work to settle the mess left before them, other parties must examine the agency responsible for the mess. This embarrassment is just one of several in recent years for the FBI. The handling of the Wen Ho Lee investigation a year ago revealed serious problems in the agency. Apparently, many serious problems remain.

Several members of Congress have called for a review of the organization. Their calls should be heeded.

Although these two cases are unique in their publicity from many of the Bureau’s daily tasks, a review must ensure that these errors are unique and are not part of systemic problems. The FBl’s investigative work affects many people each day. Investigating the FBI is only appropriate.

President George W. Bush has an opportunity to influence the process. With the separately announced departure of FBI Director Louis Freeh, Bush can choose someone who will restore some of the FBl’s recently lost credibility to the vacant post. With the review in hand, the new director could target specific areas that require attention.

In the end, the verdict in the case may not change. The evidence may turn out to be inconsequential as the Justice Department contends. McVeigh, who has admitted to the crime, would still face the death penalty for his actions anyway. However, justice serves as an important part of this nation’s foundation. It is a characteristic that separates America from so many other countries. Even in the face of the heinous act to which McVeigh has admitted, upholding justice remains in the best interests of all

An incident from my senior year comes to mind.

Members of the staff at the Duke Review had written particularly strong

remarks in letters to The Chronicle regarding the

University’s need for a Hindi major relative to the need for statistics as a major offering.

Among the reasons was that Hindi was not a language worth learning because it was a language spoken in a third-world country overrun

who are so warmly nestled in the comforts afforded by $30,000 per year of tuition that they are blind to the reality already perceived by many in the community. The reality is that both subtle and overt instances of racism are too often ignored or accepted by the population at large as normal and commonplace. Talk to average Duke students of racial

might look at recent inci-

dents and have difficulty convincing themselves that a hate crime has occurred.

It is the Duke community as a whole that must know that an injustice has occurred against one of its own and that the scourges

of prejudice, ignorance and hatred exist right here in

this Gothic Wonderland. It is not the 0.01 percent of Duke responsible for these

incidents that will set the tone regarding response to racial inequity, but the remaining 99.99 percent that will dictate how these and future incidents will be addressed. Through its action or inaction, the Duke community as a whole will decide if this University is strengthened or diminished as a result.

Bumper sticker vandalism silences subtle protest I recently fell victim to the parking lot vandalism that is becoming all too common here at Duke. Was my CD player stolen? My window smashed in? My parking pass lifted? None of the above. In fact, an even more heinous crime was committed! My “SAVE AMERICA— Stop Hillary Now” bumper sticker was violently ripped

off the back of my car by some mischievous bandit. I am writing to let this bandit and other would-be bandits out there to let them know that their actions will not deter me from continuing to lodge my protest against a woman with the moral and ethical standards ofthe late, great Dick Nixon. You won’t find me screaming in your

face on the Bryan Center walkway or ramming flyers down your throat as you walk to class; let me take my peaceful, silent stand. So I say to you, as I’m sure Bubba wishes he said to Monica, hands off! (My bumper sticker that is).

Commencement Address

17, 2001

PAGE 15

Welcome to the big world out there Charlayne Hunter-Gault encourages graduates to stay informed and keep an open mind

The following contains excerpts from the May 13 commencement address of journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault.

President Keohane, members of this distinguished dais, including fellow honorary-degree recipients, faculty, administrators, Daniel Mallory, parents and other relatives, as well as loved ones, and lovers of the Class of 2001 and most importantly, the Class of 2001....

I’ve learned a lot about languages and culture since I got to South Africa, not least that in South Africa alone there are 11 official languages. And most black South Africans to one degree or another speak most of them, even though many black South Africans have had limited if any access to formal education.

In addition to language and culture, I’ve also learned

a life of servitude; values that created a suit of armor that enabled me to walk past hostile mobs and into college; values that gave me the inner confidence to know and to insist that I belonged....

Having fulfilled my dreams beyond my wildest dreams and enjoyed and endured adventures that would make Brenda Starr eat her heart out, I can say that it was only possible because those values about which I spoke prepared me to take [Robert] Frost’s road not traveled, even before he became my favorite poet.... To be sure, I have encountered the darkness, uncomfortable places like northern Uganda, where death came suddenly one day in the unsuspecting guise of a routine thing, like the simple handshake or the communal washing of hands during the ritual burial of a loved one. It was the deadly Ebola virus that had swept into villages and homes, taking with it fathers and mothers and their children in a death almost unimaginable in its horror, until you see its consequences in the flesh. But I have found something solid in that darkness, in the bravery of doctors and nurses and community workers who mobilized to confront the killer... at great risk to themselves....

Likewise, my journey to the horizons has taken me to uncomfortable fields of combat, where the warriors and their victims are almost always children who have never known the innocence of childhood, or a time of peace. But the road not traveled, the journey in search of people, has also found in that particularly bleak darkness, unknown and unsung heroes....

And there’s the little 12-year-old girl named Wendy...

You have no doubt encountered her, but only in the mind-boggling statistics of the tens of thousands of children being orphaned by HIV-AIDS that has claimed at least 24 million African lives.... Both her mother and father have died from AIDS-related causes, and she alone is taking care ofher five siblings, the youngest of whom is two. She arises before dawn to gather firewood to warm the one-room, thatched-roof hut she fives in.

Then she makes the fire, the breakfast, wakes the others, bathes them and sends them off to school before getting ready to go to school herself.

Her fife is hard, but she says that she will be there for her siblings until the youngest reaches her age.

It doesn’t seem to have occurred to her that she is only 12.

I have seen things that even with the vivid imagination that was mine as a graduating senior, I could not have dreamed of that I would see....

Inasmuch as that while technology is rapidly narrowing the distance between continents and civiliza-

sounds in the meetings and debates on this campus and others over reparations for slavery to those in South Africa over redress for apartheid attest to that reality....

Now, as John Hope Franklin reminds, the problem is both local and global, compounded by new global proximities and receding boundaries that make neighbors of us all. Thus America’s problem with difference, while still largely residing in race, is now compounded by difference that arises from culture and its conflicts.

I believe the challenge of culture will be to the global world of the 21st century what the challenge of race was in the 20th....

So what’s that got to do with you?

Well, in a real sense, when you woke this morning... it was the first day of a new chapter in your lives, when you have every right to feel... the elite of your world, prepared for leadership wherever your professions and careers take you. If you at the same time [are] feeling a little anxious, that, too, is understandable. There are a 10t... out there waiting to test you, your credentials and your values.

Early on in my career... as a black reporter working for The New York Times—the white newspaper as it was known then—l was challenged by one of the young [Black] Panthers when I came to report on some of their programs.

When I asked him what I needed to do to convince him that my report would be accurate and printed as I wrote it, he said, “You’ve got to come in right.”

He didn’t define what he meant, but somehow I knew. He meant that I had to come up, not with a made-up mind, but open and willing to see the things that I had not yet learned to see, and to use that knowledge to preempt prejudgments and to create

accurate and honest portrayals of the people I met and the events I witnessed.

I have carried that Panther’s lessons from Harlem to Harare, from Capetown to Kosovo... we both had to give each other some space. As you move out from this place to your space in a century that is new, you have the unique opportunity to shape it and establish its legacy.

My wish for you as you confront

some things I never knew about wildlife and their language.... The environment that I have lived in and worked in for the past four years has indeed had an impact on me, and I believe that I am the better for it....

And so, slowly, but incontrovertibly, I think I am becomthat challenge is thatyou will do so ing a child of Africa, learning from its people and its animals things I didn’tknow about them and about myself, by traveling from time to time, if not all of the time, outside of your and about their attitudes, and about my attitudes.

about 20,000 square feet. Such areas, according to the report, would give groups like Diya, the Black Student Alliance and prayer groups a sense of ownership and support at the University.

“Learning about and experiencing different cultures should be an integral part of every Duke student’s daily experience,” according to the report. “We see a vibrant, highly visible and identifiable multicultural center as a part ofthe Bryan Center.”

The report also recommends that the Mary Lou Williams Center expand within the West Union Building, rather than within a new freestanding building, which the committee saw as less visible

and available.

Moving the center to the ground level with also about 20,000 square feet would be more appropriate, the report states.

Additionally, it suggested associating the Great

Hall with the center to make the space more available for weekend events.

The committee said the physical connection between the West Union and the Bryan Center should be improved, by reworking the Bryan Center walkway and the surrounding area into a defined quadrangle.

Although the facilities serve similar populations,

the centers should remain distinct in their respective missions, the report argues.

President Nan Keohane issued a two-page response to the committee’s report, endorsing its main points and promising studies this summer to determine what space is available. She added that as Bryan Center renovation plans proceed, the needs of cultural groups will be considered.

Beyond improving cultural interaction, the new spaces would help advance racial and ethnic relations at the University, said Leon Dunkley, director of the Mary Lou Williams Center and a member of the space committee. “I think the good that will come of this is to change the conversation we’re having about what racial and social differences mean at Duke,” he said.

Several questions remain, Dunkley added, about what direction the proposed multicultural center should go. For example, the committee has yet to define what a cultural group is.

Dunkley wondered whether the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life should be allotted space in the center.

Such unanswered questions point to larger racial issues at the University, he added. “It really was a lot to ask student groups to solve institutional and perpetual problems at Duke in six months,” he said.

for student affairs at the University of Pennsylvania, could not say how he hopes to shape the Office of Student Development.

“I don’t have any sense yet of organizational plans,” Moneta said. “Vice President Clack is making all the interim decisions. We did talk about how to fill the vacancy. The goal now is to use existing staff to plug holes.”

Clack said the new dean’s work will focus on the West-Edens Link, the new student life strategic

plan and the evaluation of the undergraduate judicial process.

Moneta, who got to know Baker when she was a student life administrator at Syracuse University and he at the University of Massachusetts, said Baker will be missed. “On a personal basis, I’ve known Barbara for over 20 years, and she is a tremendous loss for Duke,” he said. “The love she’s had for students is irreplaceable.”

At Duke, Baker said she has enjoyed working on the upperclass residential life plan. That experience will come in handy at MIT, where freshman and residential life will be her first priorities.

Before authorities arrived on the scene, Allen fell unconscious. Officials tried to resuscitate him for about 40 minutes, but he was pronounced dead at Healtheast Medical Center in Nags Head.

Kill Devil Hills Police Lt. Michael Jasielum said Allen was no more than 50 feet from shore. “He went out in the ocean and it was just too rough for him.”

Jasielum added that drownings in Rill Devil Hills are not common; about three or four people drowned last year.

Allen, a University of Southern California gradu-

ate, had hoped to pursue a career with the State De-

partment, Ladd said.

“He was very smart and was a good critical thinker.

He loved negotiating,” said Ladd, professor of public policy studies. “He knew what he wanted to d0.... He was really passionate about human rights and issues

like arms control reduction.”

Allen’s giving nature was exemplified last year when he helped a fellow graduate student from China pursue action against someone who had fraudulently sold him a car damaged by floods in eastern North

Carolina, Corcoran said.

Allen’s family—his wife Jessica, mother, father and 19-year-old sister—attended the public policy graduation ceremony last Saturday.

The family held a memorial service last Saturday afternoon at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Raleigh. His family requests that donations in Allen’s name be made either to the church or the Sanford Institute of Public Policy.

evils fall to No. 8 Loyola

Jackets beat Duke in ACC opener

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

7 Going into the NCAA tournament Loyola with only three losses—two of which 6 came to top-ranked Maryland— Duke and competing as the tourney’s second seed, the Duke women’s lacrosse team clearly understood that a second Final Four in school history was well within its reach.

However, after defeating Temple decisively one week ago in the opening round, this opportunity was snatched away from the Blue Devils (15-4) last Sunday at Koskinen Stadium. Another perennial power from the Old Line State, eighth-seeded Loyola (15-4), scored four goals at the beginning ofthe second half and held on to win a heart-thumping 7-6 battle over the Blue Devils to advance to the round of eight, while Duke will be left at home wondering what might have been.

The manner in which Duke finally succumbed was was heart-breaking for the home crowd. Attempting to erase a four-goal deficit midway through the second half Duke trimmed the Greyhounds’ lead to 7-6 and seemed to tie the game when leading scorer Kate Kaiser hurled the ball through the net with 7:42 remaining.

However, one of the NCAA officials disqualified the goal, ruling that Kaiser had entered the crease when taking the shot. The Blue Devils had a few other chances to score during the game’s waning minutes, but none of these opportunities were as close as Kaiser’s. The game concluded with Loyola goalie Tricia Dabrowski running out the clock by circling her net as time expired.

Needless to say, Kaiser showed her displeasure with the controversial ruling and subsequent outcome in her post-game comments.

In fact, this year, the Blue Devils’ newlook team not only extricated themselves from the vaunted ACC tournament play-in game, but also earned themselves a date against preeminent national power Georgia Tech in the No. 4 versus No. 5 matchup.

However, yesterday, the Yellow Jackets, who recently received the services of All-American third baseman Mark Teixeira, proved that Duke is not yet ready to enter the upper tier of the ACC as they drubbed the Blue Devils 16-2 in the first-round contest.

Paced by the play of shortstop Mark Lewis, who went 5-for-5 and scored three runs, Georgia Tech will move on to face top-seeded Florida State tomorrow, while Duke will face the Seminoles’ victim, N.C, State.

Men’s golf prepares for NCAA regional in Williamsburg

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

Now that the waiting game is over for the men’s golf team, things can only go up.

Before the ACC tournament the Blue Devils had been on a tear, playing some of their best golf of the year, including winning their second tournament of the year, The Intercollegiate Golf Tournament. Talk of an ACC title was buzzing through the locker room.

However, after the unthinkable happened—a miserable seventh place finish in the ACC tournament the Blue Devils were left praying the NCAA selection committee would look very favorably on their two tournament wins.

When the word finally came on May 8, Duke landed a spot in the East Regional at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club in Williamsburg, Va. The Blue Devils get to play close to home. However, they have to play in the much tougher East Region.

“I felt confident we [would] still get a bid. We prepared as if we are going to make it, [took] care of our school work, and then buckled down,” coach Rod Myers said.

However, now that it has landed the bid, Duke has a few things to work on before they can regain their old form and hopefully finish in the top seven—a requirement to make the finals, which will be held in Durham.

First, Duke must get off to a good start if it is to hang with the leaders. That should also put away any unranked teams like Virginia and North Carolina —

that the Blue Devils beat all year until the ACC tournament. Squads like that should be gone after the first 18 so Duke can concentrate on upsetting the higher, ranked teams in the field. In a field this tough, they cannot afford to fall behind like they have before and have to play catch-up for the next three rounds.

Secondly they need to put better than they did in the ACCs. Ironically, they drove the ball very well on a hard course in windy conditions, but, when it came to finishing off their putts, the Blue Devils were often successful. Little things like that can kill their confi-

dence and scoring average very quickly.

“I’m not pleased, especially coming off the last [tournament's victory at Chapel Hill],” senior Paul Tucker said after the teams’ problems in Orlando. “The team putted terribly. It’s frustrating when you hit the ball like a tour player and putt it like a 30-handicap.”

Finally, in order to qualify for the NCAA finals, Duke will need to be firing on all cylinders, from recent three-time All-ACC selection Matt Krauss on down. The ones at the top must contend for the individual titles, and those lower on down cannot rely on the top to do all the work.

“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 [Olsen] are both outstanding players. It will come.”

It will come, its just a matter of if it will come at the right time.

Maryland in the second round.

With the bitter defeat, Duke finished its season with a record of 11-6, and the abrupt finality of Saturday’s contest left many Blue Devils stunned.

“I don’t think anyone thought that the season would end this week,” Duke co-captain Scott Bross said. “I wasn’t prepared for it by any means, and I don’t think anyone else was either.”

In contrast to the shocked Blue Devils, a euphoric Towson squad charged the field while celebrating their victory, the school’s first postseason win in five years.

“We had some unbelievable efforts today,” Towson coach Tony Seaman said. “It was the first time for any one of these kids to be in an NCAA playoff game, and it was just a wonderful win for us.”

Although battling injury, Tiger goalkeeper John Horrigan gave his team a particularly inspiring performance. He made sixteen saves, including several crucial stops in the fourth quarter to thwart a Duke comeback Towson began the game on a tear, scoring four goals in the first six minutes to jump out to an early 4-1 advantage.

“I can’t say enough about our face-off guy, Justin Berry,” Seaman said. “I’ve read press all year long about how the kid from Duke was the best kid in the country; that might have been settled today.”

However, Berry’s success was controversial. As the game wore on, the referee’s refusal to call Berry for false starts visibly frustrated the Duke sidelines, as an irate Mike Pressler threw his hat in disgust.

Afterwards, a more restrained Pressler chose his words with care.

“There are three parts to the face-off,” the Duke coach said.

“They’re the two face-off guys and there’s the guy who blows the whistle. Scott Bross is the best in the game, and when it’s a fair fight in the middle, we’re going to win our share.”

work harder.”

For the Blue Devils, who pride themselves on their strength, toughness and overall physical conditioning, such comments carry a particular sting. Yet both Tankersley and Obloj each tallied three goals against the Duke defense, reinforcing their claim of superior physical preparation.

Afterwards co-captain Matt Breslin, Duke’s starting goalkeeper each of the last three seasons, looked back on both the game and the season with mixed emotions.

“There’s definitely a lot of pride that I have for this team,” Breslin said. “They’re some phenomenal people on this team.

I’m disappointed for our senior class. We’ve had a great career as a whole, and it’s disappointing that it ended this way. But it’s always disappointing unless you’re the only one standing in the end.”

Allen Iverson stared 88 directly into Vince Raptors Carter’s eyes, seemingly toying with him. He faked to his left, then to the right, continued to dribble, shuffled back and nailed a 3-pointer over Carter’s outstretched arm.

It was that easy for Iverson last night.

The NBA’s most valuable player scored 52 points, including 29 in the first half, as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Toronto Raptors 121-88 to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals series.

“To me, [the basket] looked like an ocean,” said Iverson, who sprained his left thumb during the game. X-rays on the thumb were negative.

Carter scored 16 points and Antonio Davis added 14 for the Raptors, who trail for the first time in the series.

Carter left early in the fourth quarter when he was hit in the head by 76ers center Dikembe Mutombo, but said he has just a “major headache.”

Mutombo broke his pinkie and is listed as day-to-day.

Aaron McKie had 19 and nine assists

for Philadelphia, and Mutombo added 14 points and nine rebounds.

From the moment NBA commissioner David Stem presented Iverson with the league’s MVP trophy before the game, the night belonged to the Sixers.

Philadelphia scored the first 11 points, led 17-4 midway through the first and 33-12 after one quarter.

Toronto never got closer than 17 in the last three quarters. The Raptors shot 53 percent in the first half, but

trailed 62-40.

“They were ready; we weren’t,” Raptors coach Lenny Wilkens said. “We were awful.”

Iverson, who scored a career-high 54 points in Game 2 of the series, displayed every weapon in his arsenal, especially his 3-point shooting. He finished 21-of-32, including 8-of-14 from beyond the arc.

“People say I have a flaw in my

game—l’m not able to make the outside shot,” Iverson said. “My whole thing is to punish people when they back up off me.”

Nirapathpongporn, Blue Devils dominate East regional

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

CHAPEL HILL The Duke women’s golf team won the NCAA East Regional in convincing fashion last weekend with an eight-stroke victory over Auburn at North Carolina’s Finley Golf Course, but apparently, not all are convinced going into the NCAA championships next week in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. Coach Dan Brooks was happy with his team’s victory, but believes the Blue Devils are not even playing their best golf right now. In particular, the ACC coach of the year thinks that Duke might need better play from the bottom half ofits lineup in order to win its second national championship in three years.

“I would say, given the numbers we’ve been shooting and given the weather we’ve be in, we are not playing our very best,” Brooks said after Saturday’s round. “If you look at our third player, fourth player, and fifth player, their numbers are not as low as those players have played this year.

“This win does not tell me that we’re the best in the country. I think we are, but it’s not this win that

shows me.”

While the scoring of Duke’s lower seeds was not optimal in Brooks’ eyes, the solid performance of Virada Nirapathpongporn, the ACC rookie of the year, is another story. Not only did “Oui,” as she is

The Bangkok, Thailand, native distanced herself from the field, taking a huge lead early with a 7-under-par 65 in the opening round and playing consistently throughout the following two rounds (73, 71) to edge out Candy Hannemann for the individual medalist honors. Nirapathpongporn was especially content with her mistake-free, final-round performance, in which she pared 13 holes and birdied

“I’m so glad about the way I handled myself today,” Nirapathpongporn said after the final round.

“I wanted nothing more than to come out here and play my game and stay calm. Lately, I’ve been getting more nervous and I hate playing like that....

[Finley] is a course we play all the time, so I was just saying ‘hit to the target you usually do.’”

Meanwhile, Hannemann was outperforming her opponents as well, trailing only Nirapathpongporn during the event and living up to her billing as ACC player of the year. The senior followed up her opening round of 72 with a four-under-par 68 on the second day and a par 72 in the closing round to complete a round of four-over par, 212. In fact, Hannemann’s only disappointment was that she could not surmount her teammate’s overwhelming first-round lead to take home the individual medalist honors. But all in all, Hannemann felt good about her performance.

Blue Devils cruise to third round match against Texas After a long layoff, women’s tennis initiates NCAAs with a pair of 4-0 wins

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle in both 4 Capitalizing on quick starts their first and second-round matches 0 this past weekend, the Duke Alabama women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA round of 16 in Stone Mountain, Ga., which will take place today. After easily disposing of Campbell 4-0 in the first round last Friday and likewise cruising past No. 28 Alabama 4-0 in the second round Saturday, Duke (26-1) now looks to its match against 14th-seeded Texas (19-8) Thursday at the Lincoln Tennis Center.

Duke’s No. 1 singles player, freshman Ansley Cargill, likes her team’s prospects for advancing deep into the NCAA field, especially if they are able to build an early lead against their opponents, which has been a staple of Duke’s tournament run so far.

“It’s important to get off to an early lead because

Duke

it gives you motivation,” Cargill said. “It’s sort of a domino effect—if one person looks at another court and sees her teammate up, she will try to finish her match as quickly as the other person has finished theirs. It’s a really positive effect, especially when you can see all the courts.”

Building on their confidence from Friday’s victory, the Blue Devils posted their second straight 4-0 victory Saturday, this time over a battle-tested, yet overmatched Alabama squad. Duke seized the doubles point with wins by the Amanda Johnson/Hillary Adams team at the second slot and the Kathy Sell/Katie Granson duo at No. 3 doubles.

Johnson continued her domination over the Crimson Tide with a 42-minute, 6-0, 6-0 victory over Bama’s Jenny Ketchum. Sell soon followed her teammate into the clubhouse with a 6-2, 6-1 triumph over Weyli Chang. After a first game that

lasted nearly 20 minutes, Cargill concluded Duke’s sweep in easy fashion in the No. 1 flight, defeating Alabama’s Emma Berard, the country’s 42ndranked player, by a score of 6-1, 6-2.

Despite his team’s dominant victory over the Crimson Tide, Duke coach Jamie Ashworth felt that the Blue Devils will benefit greatly from their match last Saturday, citing the constant pressure Alabama applied in nearly every match. “[Alabama] has played as tough a schedule as any team in the country,” Ashworth said. “They’ve played Florida twice, and they’ve played Georgia and Tennessee. That’s six matches against teams in the top six in the country, so they’ve been in tough matches. So it was good for us, especially for our doubles play. It was good to finally play good doubles on all three courts.”

The improvement of the doubles teams was especially evident against Alabama, as the three Duke teams—all of which were created by Ashworth in the Blue Devils’ final regular-season match April 15 against Clemson—seemed at ease with each other.

According to Ashworth, the gelling of Duke’s doubles teams not only puts the Blue Devils in an advantageous position heading into singles, but it also builds the confidence of the team’s players.

“The doubles point is a huge momentum builder,” Ashworth said. “If you get up one point, it takes so much off the singles players... and puts more pressure on your opponents. We were able to get that point today and that’s been our trend the last 10 or 12 matches.”

In the Blue Devils’ first-round match against the Camels, Duke demonstrated its might early and never looked back, sacrificing only four games at the first and third doubles flight, and securing a doubles point for the home team. Sell and sGranson glided to an easy 8-2 victory at the three spot, while Cargill and senior co-captain Megan Miller finished soon after, defeating Campbell’s Carmen Linder and Laurence Poujoulat 8-2.

The results of singles play were quite similar, as

Men’s tennis completes double sweep, excited for Athens

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

Puke Auburn

4 The men’s tennis team continued its torrid play over the weekend, blitz0 ing its competition on its way to the

round of 16 Dropping only one match in two 4-0 routs, No. 5 Duke crushed Hampton May 12 and Auburn the next afternoon, just as the rest of the Duke population school was at a cap and gown ceremony.

The 21st-ranked Tigers were the first test for Duke in quite some time. For the surging Blue Devils, who were riding a 13-match winning streak and the ACC regular-season and tournament crowns into the first round, Hampton was about as much of a challenge as the rest of the ACC—a conference that has been referred to as “cupcake city.”

On the other hand, Auburn presented some interesting problems, the biggest of which came at doubles, which has proven to be Duke’s most visible weakness all season. The Blue Devils’ red-hot 22nd-ranked pair of Phillip King and Ramsey Smith—both of whom were All-ACC selections—put away Auburn’s tandem of Tiago Ruffoni and Georges Matijasevic 8-5. But Auburn snuck away with an 8-6 win at the No. 3 slot as Rameez Junaid and Estevam Strecker beat recently named All-ACC team member Andres Pedroso, who teamed with Alex Bose.

With the No. 2 slot left as the rubber match, the Tigers had high hopes against a supposedly rusty team of Marko Cerenko and Mike Yani, who had not played together since the finals of the ACC tournament. However, their hopes were soon crushed as Cerenko and Yani systematically demolished Mark Kovacs and Andre Boz 8-2 to claim the doubles point for the Blue Devils.

“I am really proud of our team,” coach Jay Lapidus said. “The doubles was very close and our No. 1 doubles team played very well. Auburn fought very hard and our four seniors showed their composure really well.”

Duke carried its momentum from the doubles victo-

ry into singles, winning the first set in all of the singles matches. Bose had the easiest time, beating Boz 6-1, 62 to extend Duke’s lead to 2-0.

Auburn’s biggest glimmer of hope came when Strecker took a 4-1 lead on Joel Spicher in the second set at the No. 5 slot. However, the sophomore from Geneva, Switzerland won the next five games to edge Strecker 6-3, 6-4, putting Duke within one point of the victory.

“It always happens like that,” Spicher said. “I have trouble concentrating after winning the first set. Auburn is a good team and played well today. It is going to get tough as we move on, but we feel we have a good chance and everyone is playing well.”

The matched was finally closed when Smith held off Ruffoni 6-3, 7-5 to send Duke into a Sweet 16 date Saturday with Miami.

“It was tough losing the first set in four singles matches, especially after losing the doubles point,” Auburn coach Eric Shore said. “We did a good job coming from behind in the second set, and were a few balls from forcing a few third sets. We had opportunities today, but Duke is a top-five team and they deserve it.”

Although Duke sliced through the Hampton Pirates like hot butter on the fourth of July, its only main weakness was again at Nos. 2 and 3 doubles. The Blue Devils did not drop one match in doubles, but they did have to go to 8-5 at the third slot before winning—a close match compared to the consistent 6-0 and 6-1 wins during singles play.

“The doubles play was very competitive,” Hampton coach Robert Screen said. “We had a wonderful chance to win the doubles point. Our team has nothing to hang their heads about.”

All that being said, as the Blue Devils get into the meat of the NCAA tournament, Lapidus could not be much more pleased with his team’s play. After running the table in the ACC and following it up with a win over Auburn, the Blue Devils now look primed for a run that could take them as far as the national championship, even if they drop the doubles point.

Controversial ruling turns 10-run eighth inning propels tide of close NCAA match favorite Tech to lopsided win � WOMEN’S LACROSSE from page 21 “I shot the ball, it went in, and then [a Loyola player] pushed me and I fell,” a distraught Kaiser explained as she held back tears. “When I fell, they called me in the crease after the ball was in.”

Duke coach Kerstin Kimel agreed with her leading scorer, noting that the

implications of the ruling were back-

breaking for the Blue Devils.

“In a situation like that, when it’s been back-and-forth for the middle third of the half and then [the official] disallows a goal and our player ends up on the ground, it changes the momentum completely,” Kimel said. “We felt like that was our chance.”

While Kimel’s disappointment was obvious after the game, her mood was likely quite different halfway through the contest. In a nip-and-tuck first half, Duke rebounded from a slow start, scoring two goals in the final six minutes to cling to a 4-3 lead over the Greyhounds.

Kelly Dirks tied the game at the sixminute mark with a score at point-blank range and freshman Lauren Kickham followed up the senior’s goal with one of her own only 21 seconds later.

The Blue Devils came out flat in the second hal£ though, while Loyola seemed to be the team poised for victory. Midfielder Suzanne Eyler commenced the Greyhound run with a goal at 28:48 and soon after, attacker Kristy Wamock scored, allowing Loyola to retake the lead, 54. Minutes later, senior Megan Santacroce recorded her second goal of the game attacker Stacy Morlang increased the Greyhounds’ growing lead to 7-4 with 19:44remaining.

“I think we were expecting a victory [at that point], but we also knew that

Duke was a team that could come back,” Santacroce said. “Both teams were playing with such heart that we knew it would end up being a close game.”

Santacroce’s instincts about an eminent Duke comeback were correct.

Sensing the Blue Devils’ life-or-death situation, Kaiser stopped the bleeding at the 16:28 mark with a momentum-changing goal that put Duke within two. Less than two minutes later, sophomore Lauren Gallagher connected on a free-position shot to cut Loyola’s lead to 7-6 with 14:32 left on the clock.

Then, after seven more minutes of closely contested action, Kaiser drove toward the net in what turned out to be the decisive, and of course, most controversial play of the game. Loyola coach Diane Geppi-Aikens commented after the contest that, contrary to the opinion of the

Blue Devils, the questionable encroachment call on Kaiser did not solely decide the outcome of the matchup.

“You like to believe ifyou lose that one play makes a difference. To be quite honest...a lot of those plays could have gone either way” Geppi-Aikens said. “There were things that were happening to both sides from the first second that whistle blew and I don’t believe for one second that one particular play made a difference in the outcome. I’d have to majorly differ about not only this game, but as a coaching philosophy, that one play is going to make a difference in a game. I think that’s a travesty to your team and how hard they played.”

� BASEBALL from page 21 “I knew coming into this game that Georgia Tech had something to prove,” coach Bill Hillier said. “I know they are motivated to play well in this tournament, as we are. They pitched well and hit well.”

Tech’s solid hitting was especially apparent in the eighth inning, when they put the finishing touches on a Duke team that was already on the ropes, down 6-2. After Greg Burke

Jason Basil nailed his 14th home run of the season to left-centerfield on the first pitch of the bottom of the second.

Then, when the Yellow Jackets came to bat in the third inning, Prince pummeled a two-run shot which scored Lewis, who had reached base on a single to start in the inning.

“Any time you get runs from your pitcher early, it gives him a chance to

relax and feel like every pitch is right where it needs to be. That’s kind of what we saw today—Kevin [Cameron] did a walked Yellow Jacket outfielder Brad Stockton with one out in the inning, great job and Burks coming in did a Georgia Tech exploded, scoring six runs great job.”

Meanwhile, the Blue Devils were and having eight straight batters reached base. Even when Duke recorded unable to hit many hard balls of their its second out of the inning, which came own, scattering only six hits during the on a sacrifice fly by Stockton that made game. The lone bright spot was senior the score 14-2, the Yellow Jackets still third baseman J.D. Alieva, who went 2for-3 and drove in an RBI in the fifth managed to put up two more runs, further distancing themselves from the inning, smashing a double off the wall in left-centerfield, scoring shortstop beleagured Blue Devils.

“Once one guy hits one hard, another Kevin Kelly. Duke also struck in the guys hits one hard,” said Georgia Tech top of the seventh, when Kelly hit a coach Danny Hall. “The old saying is sacrifice fly to center which scored leftthat hitting is contagious, and I believe fielder Brian Patrick.

Despite the whipping they received that. We hit some really hard balls yesterday, the Blue Devils’ season is today [in the eighth inning].”

Of course, the Yellow Jackets did not still alive, as they face N.C. State in do all their damage in the eighth the consolation bracket of the doubleinning; they built an early lead in the elimination tourney. And while Hillier game’s first three innings to set the was disappointed with yesterday’s outstage for their domination. After Lewis come, he remains optimistic about the got his first hit of the game, a single to general improvement of the Duke baseball program. left field, catcher Bryan Prince also sin“I feel good about where we’re going,” gled to left which scored Lewis and gave the second-year coach said after the Tech an quick 1-0 advantage.

Duke went scoreless in the top of the game. “I just don’t feel too good about it second inning, but then, Tech senior right now.”
