Unionization Campus life sparks little faculty interest revote seems unlikely

As administrators prepare to implement a residential life plan they hope

� Partly because Duke Hospital no longer faces as grave a nursing shortage, few nurses still want to be in a union.

By NADINE OOSMANALLY The Chronicle After waiting a year since voting

against unionization last fall, Duke Hospital’s nurses have expressed no interest in beginning a new campaign for unionization.

Last year, after a 10-month campaign to instate a nurses union failed after on-campus nurses voted against the plan, pro-unionists said they would raise the issue again in a year.

The one year that federal law mandates the unionists had to wait and work with hospital administration before recommencing any campaigning ended in October, but many are now more satisfied with the hospital administration and no pro-union movement has re-emerged.

The changes to upperclass housing include moving all sophomores to West Campus, increasing the role of quads and adding more academic support services. Together, they constitute a vision for residential life in which administrators hope students will be more likely to engage in intellectual activities in their dorms. Although the specifics ofhow faculty fit into that vision remain uncertain, several factors may complicate their involvement.

Faculty members have not assumed a large role in the residential life discussions that have taken place over the past several years. Many discussions occurred within the Division of Student Affairs, and most decisions were made by the Residential Life Task Force, composed of administrators, some ofwhom are also faculty.

Blue Devil shooting befuddles lowa Hawkeyes � Despite coach Mike Krzyzewski’s criticism of his team’s relative lack of emotion and leadership, the Blue Devils crushed the Hawkeyes as part of the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge Wednesday night.

CHICAGO For almost all of this short season, coach Mike Krzyzewski has said his Duke team needed to exert more emotion and floor leadership, a void that was left with the graduation ofShane Battier last year.

He even criticized his players publicly to the media for their entire lack ofeffort in these categories during Sunday’s blowout in Portland.

Whether it was the public humiliation, or possibly a more private tongue lashing, the young Blue Devils certainly got the message loud and clear during Tuesday’s 80-62 drubbing of lowa as part of the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

But the score was no indication of the level of play from both sides exhibited in the United Center Tuesday. From the get go, the Blue Devils and Hawkeyes appeared to be in a continual battle ofwho could dive for more loose balls, draw more charges, and play better defense. Despite the heavily partisan lowa (4-2) crowd, Duke (5-0) managed to win out.

“I thought we played well against an emotionally charged lowa team, and you have to play real well [against them] in order to win,” Krzyzewski said.

The game started on a rather dull note for both teams, as neither could really pull away. Whenever the Hawkeyes would grab the lead—their biggest one came by five with 10:52 in the second half—Duke would immediately respond.

U.S. F-16 jets and B-1B bombers attacked two targets with precisionguided weapons, military officials said Tuesday.

The anti-Taliban Northern Alliance said it crushed a bloody, threeday revolt by bin Laden’s foreign fighters, who surrendered last weekend in the northern city of Kunduz.

However, U.S. Gen. Tommy Franks, who runs the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan, said 30 to 40 hardcore fighters were still holding out in the mud-walled fortress near Mazar-e-Sharif.

With the collapse ofTaliban resistance in the north, attention has focused on the south, where the Islamic militia which protected bin Laden remains in control of the city of Kandahar and a handful of provinces.

President George W. Bush launched military operations Oct. 7 in Afghanistan after the Taliban re-

In Washington, U.S. officials said that of an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 members of bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist network in Afghanistan, several hundred have been killed, including seven considered to be leaders.

Bush’s indication that Iraq might be the next target ofthe US. war on terrorism has focused renewed attention on the sanctions imposed after Saddam’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

The sanctions can only be lifted if U.N. inspectors determine that Iraq’s nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programs and long-range missiles have been dismantled. Inspectors left Iraq ahead of U.S.-British airstrikes in December 1998 and Iraq has barred them from returning.

Bush urged Saddam Monday to allow weapons inspectors back into the country “to prove to the world he’s not developing weapons of mass destruction.”

Moneta considers division’s structure

2001 � PAGE 3

� Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta says he foresees changes to the Office of Student Development and a consolidation of residential services.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

With next year’s residential life plan almost complete, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta is addressing the organization of his own office.

Moneta said that through December, he will continue to examine ways to make the Division of Student Affairs more efficient—those moves will likely include a major shake-up in the Office of Student Development, which is now responsible for most residential life, judicial affairs and greek life.

“Consistent with everything I’ve said before, [the philosophy behind these changes] is seamlessness, ease of navigation, sort of looking at Student Affairs, look at what people do, how they relate to student needs and bring closer together those elements where [there can be] more efficient services,” said Moneta, who noted that he receives direct reports from 17 officials within the division.

One probable change is a consolidation ofresidential life services. All housing and residential life aspects of Student Affairs will likely be united along with housing management in one central administrative location. Housing management, which is responsible for maintenance and housing support, was transferred from the Division of Auxiliary Services to Student Affairs prior to Moneta’s arrival.

Moneta will announce a full list of changes sometime in December.

Sue Coon, dean of university life, said she had spoken to Moneta about changes in her department, but did not want to specifically comment on them.

Kacie Wallace, associate dean for judicial affairs, said See STUDENT AFFAIRS on page 6 I*

STUDENTS IN BRAXTON DORMITORY prepare bagels for a house-council sponsored event. Under the new housing plan, which will take effect next year, house councils will cease to exist and quad councils will replace them in performing some functions.

Quads to assume house councils’ role

New quad-based system renders house councils redundant

By ANA MATE The Chronicle

As part of a broader administrative goal to create a more integrated West Campus community, new residential plans call for the elimination of house councils. The plans call for a more quad-based resi-

dential system.

“There is no house system in the new model.

There is no organizational framework that includes house in the structure. The concept of the house is obsolete,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs.

Moneta said quad councils currently do not have a strong presence on West.

“Quads were just an aberration of a label. People didn’t take them seriously,” he said.

But he pointed out that recent changes warrant a quad-based system. He said there are now more types of programs and academic services. Addition-

ally, he said, students are more intellectual.

By developing a campus residential system focused on the quads, the administration also hopes to create a more integrated community.

“The system will foster a residential college community more than the regular house council does,” said senior Vik Devisetty, Campus Council president.

Devisetty pointed out that there is not much interaction between house and quad councils, a situation that leads to a lack of true representation in the residential community.

He said next year’s plans to eliminate house councils and intensify quad councils will change that. “[The change] will help strengthen the existing community, both quads and membership in the quads, the fraternities, selective houses and independents,” Moneta said.

A recent study otters new evidence that when it comes to-fighting heart disease, a patient's state of mind can play an important role. Researchers said a positive attitude was not only associated with better outcomes for heart attack patients, but might even stave off heart disease. Johns Hopkins University researchers examined 586 people, ages 30 to 59, who displayed no signs of heart disease but whose siblings had heart problems at an early age. Their cases were followed over seven-and-a-half years. In that time, 70 of the volunteers experienced what the researchers called a heart “event" —sudden death, heart attack or chest pain that required surgery. But those participants whose personality assessments showed they had positive outlooks were half as likely to experience heart problems as those people found to have negative outlooks.

City growth may shrink Southern forests

Urban sprawl could reduce forests in the South by 12 million acres by the year 2020, affecting the habitat of a number of native plants and wildlife, a federal study concluded. About 6 percent of the region’s forests are likely to be lost, but the number of trees should stay about the same because large amounts of agricultural land will be converted to pine tree farms, especially in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas, officials said. Study leaders John Greis and David Wear of the U.S. Forest Service said losing forests near urban areas disrupts the homes of native plants and wildlife and eliminates areas that can be used for outdoor recreation. Bears, bobcats and foxes are among the species that are unable to adapt to changes in the forest that are caused by urban growth, Greis said.

Scientists explore medicinal garlic uses

Researchers exploring why garlic seems to help ward off malaria have discovered that it does so in the same way it fights cancer. The same compounds in garlic, known as disulfides, appear to be at work in each case, they say. The findings were presented recently in Atlanta to the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. For some years, experts have believed that disulfides, also found in onions, are useful in fighting malaria, and the disulfides have been shown effective in tests on animals, the researchers said. Lan Crandall of the University of Toronto, who presented the study, said he wanted to improve the understanding of the mechanism at work. After testing 11 different disulfide compounds, he found that not all of them had an effect on malaria. But those that did, he said, also had an effect against cancer

Patients may be able to reduce HIV drugs

Symptom-tree HIV patients can safely hold oft taking AIDS drugs longer than previously thought, two new studies suggest. When antiretroviral drugs first became available in the mid-19905, their dramatic effects prompted many doctors to recommend immediate treatment for all HIV patients to keep the virus in check. However, the.drugs are costly, must be switched often to remain effective and can cause serious side effects, so doctors have sought to delay treatment whenever possible. Recently revised guidelines indicated the drugs could be started when levels of disease-fighting CD4 white blood cells dropped to 350 per cubic millimeter instead of the previously recommended 500. The studies, conducted at the Royal Free and University Medical College in London and the University of British Columbia, were published in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.

Machines could replace stethoscopes

By JENNIFER WLACH The Chronicle The use of stethoscopes for heart exams by primary care physicians may one day become a thing of the past, thanks to a Duke study on miniaturized echocardiography machines.

These smaller echo machines were created to provide primary care physicians with a more thorough examination of patients’ hearts.

“A regular doctor does not have the proper training, or the money, to have a standard echo machine in the office,” said Dr. John Alexander, assistant professor ofmedicine and cardiology.

Although the machines, which cost $12,000—a fraction of the price of their larger counterparts—cannot replace larger echocardiography machines for complete heart examinations, they can be used to assess basic heart problems less likely to be predicted by a stethoscope and family history exam.

By answering basic questions regarding heart health, these smaller echos also reduce the number of unnecessary tests done on the larger machines. In addition, the miniature echos cut examtime length from 20 minutes to eight.

“About half of the echo tests we perform in Duke’s echo facility are just to answer simple questions,” Alexander

said. “The smaller echo machines

would greatly reduce those types of cases we see.”

Although confident that the smaller echo machines would provide better exams, Alexander recently completed a study to determine how much echo test training was required for primary care physicians without cardiology training.

The study trained second-year medical residents and cardiology fellows to diagnose four major heart abnormalities, varying in level of diagnostic difficulty, during a three-hour session.

“We chose three hours for the amount of training because it is impractical to expect physicians to spend a week learning how to use the machines,” Alexander said. He added that if doctors- could accurately assess the four conditions, they would be able to find the most common heart problems.

Once trained, each doctor performed mini echocardiograms on 25 to 50 patients, all of whom previously had undergone echo tests. The results

Doctors were able to diagnose all four conditions. Alexander said the trainees were better able to assess conditions that are easier to detect, but that overall they proved they could properly use the machines with very little training.

“I felt very comfortable using the machine,” said Dr. Cheryl Russo, a cardiology fellow who participated in the study.

First-year cardiology fellow Dr. Dan Bensimhon said the training was

Both Bensimhon and Russo agreed they would have liked more training and more feedback on their individual performances. ‘You want more time because you always want to be better at what you do,” Bensimhon said, Alexander said that although the three hours of training proved successful, the study was inconclusive about the ideal amount of training. He added that the proper training time is somewhere between three hours and one week.

Experts: Don’t dismiss influenza danger Scientists urge their colleagues around the world to increase flu vaccine and antiviral drug research

By RAF CASERT

The Associated Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium At a time of bioterrorism fears, influenza should not be overlooked as a force of nature or a potential weapon of terrorists, disease specialists said Tuesday.

Flu has the potential to become a pandemic, scientists said at a conference sponsored by the European Union.

They called for efforts worldwide to counter the possibility.

“We don’t need a bioterrorism attack for the next pandemic to happen,” said Albert Osterhaus, director of the Dutch

Influenza Center.

Osterhaus pointed to the 1918-1919 Spanish flu outbreak that killed up to 40 million people worldwide, many more

than those killed in World War I. Flu outbreaks in 1957-58 and 1968-1969 killed over a million each time, he said.

Considering that the most virulent strains of flu hit about every 30 years on average, scientists are expecting another major outbreak soon.

“The question is not if, but when we are going to have another pandemic in

the foreseeable future,” said Osterhaus, co-chair of the conference.

During an average year, some 50,000 people in Europe die of the flu, more than the number of road deaths, Osterhaus said. Infants and the elderly are

particularly susceptible, but during major epidemics, up to 30 percent of the population can catch the disease.

Terrorists could trigger an influenza

outbreak, said Dr. Robert Webster, virologist at St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

“Any technologist in the world can now generate any influenza virus they wish, like the one in 1919. If the wrong people use this technology, they can determine when a pandemic will start,” he said during a break in the conference.

EU Health Commissioner David Byrne agreed that planning for pandemics is vital and urged more research into vaccines and antiviral agents.

“Whether they are caused by influenza viruses or other, politically motivated pathogens, the planning challenge for our authorities is largely the same. This is particularly crucial in these anxious times,” Byrne told the conference.

� HOUSE COUNCIL from page 3 fused about the different roles of various student government groups.

But he argued that with the new system, “[There will be] a clearer sense on campus on what Campus Council and Duke Student Government [do]; students will know where to go.”

Campus Council, which acts as the umbrella organization for quad and house councils, has no concrete plans for the shift yet. Devisetty hopes to begin the planning process before elections next semester.

“The Duke Union, DSG and campus and quad councils need to get together. Conversations have entered preliminary stages, but they won’t be in full force until next semester,” said

senior Sean Young, DSG liaison for' residential life.

Devisetty foresaw changes in quad councils, including a new makeup in membership and possibly changing the name to better represent what the councils will do. Eequired programming is also a possibility.

He also emphasized that quad councils will not give out money as blindly as in past years.

“Quad councils are currently treated as banks. That system will not be there next year. They will serve as outlets,” said Devisetty.

“In the future, there won’t be a transfer of funds without an exchange of service. Collaborative service is what we’re shooting for. [The students] have to be actively involved,” he said.

Some nurses say work conditions have improved � UNION from page 1 so that interest is not strong enough for another unionization attempt, said Henry Loftis, a spokesperson for the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 465.

Previously, because of a nurse shortage, the hospital forced nurses into mandatory overtime and discouraged them from calling in sick or taking vacations.

Since then, the nurse-patient

ratio has increased so that each nurse is not assigned to more than five patients. Additionally, the nurses now have the authority to refuse patients, and the hospital will close bed space if there is not enough staff.

“The most important thing is now when nurses leave they know that they have met the patient’s needs and have provided

quality care,” said Kathleen Weaver, a registered nurse. She added that last year they were frustrated because they had too many patients.

The hospital also promoted all previously-employed nurses to

the next level, gave them pay raises and now reward them with bonuses for not calling in sick. Mardi Warner, a registered nurse at the hospital, said this helped job satisfaction.

Weaver said she feels the new management training program has opened communication.

Nurses are able to express concerns more easily, and managers are more responsive to these concerns, Weaver said.

“The nurses would have been better off with a contract, but they have gained a lot ofrespect.

The University knows that they should treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve,” Loftis said.

The hospital has developed an advisory council that consists of two staff members from each unit, and nurses are encouraged to discuss concerns at shared governance meetings.

“Conditions have improved tremendously and are better than anywhere else I have worked over the past 35 years,” Weaver said.

NURSES AT DUKE HOSPITAL, despite a long campaign, voted not to unionize last fall, but activists vowed to bring the issue up again this fall. But many say working conditions have improved and interest in a revote has dropped off.

MIKE DUNLEAVY clutches the ball as an lowa player tries to steal it away.

Dunleavy continues to fill Battier’s big shoes CHICAGO Can Duke repeat without Shane Battier?

The question has plagued Duke since the season started. The Blue Devils have been accused of seeming unfocused, an adjective which was rarely, if ever, applied to a Battier-led team. He could do all the little things, pulling Duke out oftough spots. Critics felt that his absence would be the Blue Devils downfall this season.

Evan Davis Game Commentary Against lowa, Mike Dunleavy silenced these naysayers.

Dunleavy came into Tuesday’s game averaging 17.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, both team highs. Named as the MVP of the Maui Invitational, Dunleavy was under intense scrutiny.

Despite his lofty numbers, many felt the junior would simply be unable to fill the mammoth-sized shoes vacated by his former roommate’s departure.

But one big shot after another, Dunleavy slowly put that speculation to rest. After a Luke Recker three-pointer cut Duke’s lead to 32-28 with 2:55 left in the first half, Dunleavy took over. He promptly responded with a 14-foot jumper of his own, and then turned a Chris Duhon pass into a reverse layup on the next possession. But the real dagger came at the end of the half, when Dunleavy drained a 24-foot three-pointer to put Duke up nine.

“The way we ended the half was huge,”

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “That last set with Mike was a huge play.

“Obviously, if you’re thinking about last season, Mike hit big shots.”

overall after a season-opening defeat against Arizona.

‘This is good for us to get this big game early in the year. It let people know that we’re for real,” Dixon said. “I guess a lot of people counted us out after we lost to Arizona, but we did well today.”

After the Terrapins went up by 12 at halftime, Dixon scored seven points in a 10-2 run at the outset of the second half to make it 51-31.

Despite playing its fifth game in nine days, Illinois fought back—even after leading rebounder Brian Cook fouled out with 5:11 left.

The comeback was aided by poor free throw shooting by Maryland, which finished 12-for-24 at the line. The Fighting Illini closed to 66-58 with 2:56 left, but Chris Wilcox scored in the lane, then made one of two free throws on Maryland’s next possession for an 11point cushion.

The Chronicle

Good teaching does not mandate lifetime contract Two weekends ago, after the football team’s recent humiliation at the hands

of North Carolina, Duke coach Carl Franks said that before the team’s next game against Clemson, his players needed to learn how to block and tackle.

This really wasn’t much of a surprise.

Every week, it seems Franks wants his team to work on something different—most coaches would if they were on the verge of two straight winless seasons—but this specific time got me thinking.

What if the football team were to go out and play Clemson, win or lose, with superb blocking and flawless tackling?

Upon further review Paul Doran Based on previous performances, it would definitely signal that Franks and his assistant coaches would have taught them that trait in two weeks. That would be quite a feat for a team that couldn’t take down Ronald Curry if he stood on the 50-yard line and let them run into him. To teach tackling in just under two weeks would be tremendous.

Blocking would be even more of a plus.

In short, it would prove Franks was a hell of a teacher.

But really, what would Duke do, aside from maybe win a football game?

The answer is simple: Give him a lifetime contract Sure, (if you’ve even made it this far) you’re thinking, “What in tarna-

tion is this idiot talking about? Why would the University give a man who has won barely won over 10 percent of the games in his coaching career a lifetime contract?”

It really wasn’t my idea honestly; I’m just following the same logic the University used when it gave men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski a lifetime contract. They said that more than athletics were involved in the decision, and one of the key factors was that Krzyzewski has an extraordinary ability to teach.

Well, I’ve got ground-breaking news: So does Carl Franks. So do men’s and women’s tennis coaches Jay Lapidus and Jamie Ashworth. So does women’s golf coach Dan Brooks—he’s even won a national championship. As a matter of fact, so do most coaches at Duke, around the country and throughout the world. One of the things a coach does is teach. It’s in the job description. If we used that logic everywhere, almost every coach would have a lifetime contract.

Now, I guess I should waste a few words saying that I recognize not every coach is a good teacher, especially before I get a letter saying something along the lines of, “But the author was wrong, I once had a coach that was a bad teacher and not every coach is a good teacher, so therefore his whole argument is wrong...” No. That’s not the point.

The point is, the University should stop masking its decision to give Krzyzewski a lifetime contract in the thinly veiled words of “good teacher.” If that’s its main logic, they should be lining up to negotiate with volleyball coach

Jolene Nagel. In three years, she’s “student-athlete” when dealing with its brought the program from a losing sports—especially its most visible, record to hosting the first two rounds of men’s basketball. Compared to the the NCAA tournament. Nagel’s feat is majority of other institutions, Duke even more impressive considering she’s has a great graduation rate, and at done it largely with players she inherit- least for now, Krzyzewski seems to ed from her predecessor, not her own have narrowly escaped the leave-early-

recruits. That’s good teaching.

It would also behoove me to say a few things more about Krzyzewski and the basketball team before I continue. I like Duke, I like Duke basketball and, for the most part, I like Coach KI do have a serious problem with the fact that, although Chapel Hill demonizes him, the rest of the country deifies him, and no one should be considered virtually infallible.

Krzyzewski is a great coach and fundraiser—no wait, a “special assistant to the president.” He wins basketball games and is one of the Duke’s biggest assets in enhancing its image and filling its coffers. Those should be the main reasons he should get a lifetime contract, not the politically correct malarkey the University fed the public.

As a matter of fact, I think the idea of a lifetime contract was long overdue, especially when considering that job security is guaranteed—especially after 26 years of service like Krzyzewski—in almost every other field. I wouldn’t be surprised, and I think it would be a great idea if this started a ripple effect in the coaching profession. People like Tom Izzo, Roy Williams, Pat Summitt, Anson Dorrance and others also deserve

this safety net.

However, that does not excuse the fact that Duke still hides behind what are quickly becoming the obsolete buzzwords of“academics and athletics” and

don’t-graduate bug by getting Jason Williams and Carlos Boozer to graduate in three years.

However, if Duke really believes basketball is secondary or even only on par with academics; why is it making the basketball coach the highest paid University employee? It could be, as President Nan Keohane said, that he needs a competitive salary for his field, but that’s one hell of a competitive salary for someone in the traditionally poorish field ofacademics.

As Indiana professor Murray Sperber said, as long as the label student-athlete is still attached, it should be part of the ’ university. But it’s not, it’s entertainment.

However, Duke still feels the need to run with the student-athlete jargon. After all, it wouldn’t want to hurt its image with its

so-called “peer institutions.”

Bottom line: Krzyzewski should have gotten a lifetime contract and he should have taken it. If someone who Time Magazine names America’s best coach feels “well compensated,” it must be a huge paycheck, and you can’t fault the man for that. But at least call it what it really is: wanting to keep a good coach around to improve Duke’s image by not

only winning national championships, but also making money.

If that’s not right, sign Franks to a lifetime extension; after all he is a good teacher. *

Late first-half run secures Dunleavy plays intense ‘D’ large lead for Blue Devils on Hawkeyes’ leader Recker lOWA from page 1

More than halfway through the first half, the game was deadlocked at 19-19, but then Duke stepped up its defense and lowa subsequently went ice cold.

“They didn’t shoot well and that helped us,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought we played good defense, but they’re not going to go 2-for-16 from three-point range often.”

The turnaround came, as it has all season for the Blue Devils, in a late-half run that ended when Mike Dunleavy buried a three-pointer with 7.9 seconds left on the clock. lowa could not respond in the time remaining, and instead of going into the locker room down six, the Hawkeyes found themselves on the verge of a double-digit deficit.

Dunleavy, Jason Williams and Carlos Boozer came out shooting in the second half and the lead quickly mushroomed from a measly nine to an overwhelming 17 points in three minutes. While Dunleavy was busy with his usual task—a little bit of everything—Boozer was shutting down his former USA Select teammate and major Hawkeye scoring threat Reggie Evans. Williams, meanwhile, had been moved to the two slot, for the most part, while Duhon took over at the point, where the sophomore managed to tally 11 assists. Williams finished with 25 points and combined with Dunleavy and Boozer to outscore lowa 65-62.

“I thought we got beat by three guys tonight,” lowa coach Steve Alford said.

“It happened to be a night where [Luke] Recker and [Reggie] Evans had their

toughest nights of the year. When your two go-to-guys have tough nights and their go-to-guys have big nights, the outcome is going to be the way it was.”

Alford also noted that lowa’s biggest problem on the night was its inability to run with Duke and finish in transition.

He said his team was “still shooting the ball way to quickly off one pass.”

As a result of both the Hawkeyes’

inexperience and Duke’s defense, Alford’s theory especially showed with

their star, Recker, who constantly missed much-needed long-range bombs that could have fired up the crowd and put his team back in the game.

“Right now, they’re better than us, no doubt about that,” Recker said. “I don’t know if they’re 18 points better than us—l don’t think they are—but they’re a great basketball team.

There’s a reason they were national champions last year, and there’s a reason they’re number one in the country this year.”

After a rapid five games to open their season, the Blue Devils have a few days off before they begin their quest to six-peat as ACC regular-season champions in Cameron Indoor Stadium against Clemson Dec. 2.

“I thought our kids did a heck of a job,” Krzyzewski said. “We’ve been on a five games in nine days ‘see the world’ torn-. I call these energy cycles. Now we’re going to take a day off and start another one.”

were no fluke. Against lowa, the Lake Oswego, Ore., native was able to pick up where Battier left off. His 18 points did not lead the team, nor did his seven rebounds or his 53.8 percent field goal shooting, but altogether, Dunleavy was the most versatile player on the court.

Defensively, Dunleavy’s effort was as good as anyone’s. His intense defense on Recker held the senior to 7-of-18

shooting, including only one-of-eight from three-point land. His contributions on defending the Hawkeyes’

Reggie Evans were even more significant, as Evans, who averaged 21.6 points per game, was held to only eight points on 3-of-ll shooting.

But it was his clutch performances that shined the brightest. A traveling call on Jason Williams brought the crowd to its feet as lowa took over possession, heading into the final television timeout down only 12 points. As play resumed and the decibel level peaked, Dunleavy stepped up to the challenge. Appearing calm and relatively unemotional, he stripped Evans of the ball for one of his game-high four steals, then watched as Jason Williams fed Dahntay Jones for a thunderous dunk that silenced the Hawkeye fans once and for all.

“Mike’s not a big talker,” Williams said. “Mike’s more of a person who’s going to show you how it’s done.”

Krzyzewski acknowledged that Dunleavy is not one of the team’s naturally emotional leaders, but recognized that his job as a captain does not need to exactly mirror that of Battier’s last year. As far as Krzyzewski is concerned, asking anyone to replicate Battier’s role is simply unfair.

“We were all spoiled last year,” he said. “Twenty years from now, you’ll think back that Battier was one of the great, great players to ever play college basketball. And everyday, I learn more and more about what he did that I didn’t know last year, because there’s

MIKE DUNLEAVY shoots a jumper as lowa’s Chauncey Leslie closes in. things we’re making up for right now.

The kids get tired of me talking about it—they probably send him hate mail and stuff like that. Hopefully, they all try to be like him.”

But if you ask Williams, Dunleavy may not simply be able to fill Battier’s shoes. He may be even better. “[Dunleavy and Battier] are very different players—totally different players,” he said. “ShanO was a really good player, but I think Mike does a lot more.

I think Shane did a lot great defensively, but Mike’s willing to be a heck of a basketball player. Mike can control the basketball that much better. He can play the point guard, bang down low and shoot the three really well, too.”

The Chronicle Marching on civil liberties Plans to try non-citizens in military tribunals ignore past precedent and run against fundamental American principles

In

the aftermath of Sept. 11, the Bush administration has pushed through a series of laws, revisions to federal regulations and executive orders ranging from tougher immigration restrictions to more leeway in detaining non-citizens. But perhaps the most offensive and misguided change yet has been the executive order allowing non-citizen civilians suspected ofterrorism to be tried in military tribunals. Not only does the move represent a complete lack of faith in the judicial and legislative branches, but it also demonstrates a deep, unfounded mistrust of non-citizens.

Designing specific policies that imply the guilt of foreigners is not a new phenomenon in the United States, but it is still wrong. Such implications of guilt are knee-jerk reactions to the attacks based on irrational fear, not well-grounded thought. These new restrictions constitute violations of basic civil liberties like attorney-client privilege and protection against the use of detention.

The most egregious violation ofcivil liberties is that of limiting trial by jury in an attempt to set up a system in which non-citizens can be tried and executed quickly. As a result of a presidential executive order, military tribunals can now take over a key role designated to the U.S. judicial system: the trying of civilians. Such trials would be kept secret, with as little as the defendant’s name and sentence being released, and officials have said that these bodies do not require the “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt” standard for conviction. Instead, prosecutors must simply prove that the suspected terrorist—who will be prosecuted in this court solely at the discretion of President George W. Bush —must have guilt that has “probative value to a reasonable person.”

Proponents ofthe military tribunals have only one argument that could make civilian trials disadvantageous: the potential harm from releasing information connected with national security. But these trials are likely not to take place anytime in the near future; furthermore, the prosecution Should do all it can to make its case without revealing damaging evidence. These factors, considered in combination with the potential gross civil liberties violations, make civilian trials more desirable.

Precedent —as in the case of Timothy McVeigh and other prominent cases like the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania—has shown that the legal system is well-equipped to try terrorists itself. Certainly the government needed to use information gathered through its intelligence networks to make its case.

Still, the Bush administration is not willing to show faith in this branch although it has a proven track record.

Although terrorism must be ended somehow, many of the new laws are the wrong way to go about it. Bush has overstepped his bounds and has not even bothered to let the American public know about the exact details of the proposed changes. The United States would never stand for such treatment of its own citizens abroad and should think twice before it does so to citizens ofother countries who live here.

Former student mourns memorable professor’s death I spent six weeks meeting in a space the size of a closet

with former Professor Jack Cell, who recently died in a boating accident. It was the summer of 1998, and he was teaching a 20th century world history course out of his office in the Carr building, and there were two students. He didn’t even have to teach it—apparently 3 students constitute a class—but he agreed to do it anyway. I had assumed it would be canceled, but he said to me, “Look, do you want to take my class or not?” And I knew right then I had been issued a challenge.

Professor Cell was the epitome ofintimidating. This was especially true when faced with about 12 square for referenced story, see

feet in which to hide. He was demanding by nature, with towering expectations. I felt I could never satisfy him. I left each class vowing to avenge the day’s shortcomings, to say something brilliant. I began jotting down ideas on the message board while I cooked dinner, counting off important points on my fingers while I ran. His dry manner and critical gaze only fueled the fire to improve. He pushed me, and I pushed back. Was this teaching?

One thing I knew: Professor Cell never answered a single question I asked. It’s true—he would turn to me, raise one eyebrow, and say,

you have a good answer?” At first this was maddening, but slowly I began offering theories, explanations. He listened. I dusted off thinking skills that had been dormant for too long, expecting the solutions to descend from wise men behind podiums. My hands were out-stretched reaching skyward but with fertile soil at my feet.

That man never did answer a single question I asked him, but he had good reason: He knew that I could answer it myself. I knew it, too.

This is how he taught.

This is why I’m thankful.

Speaker hurt BSA, Women’s Center

Duke has been known to host some outlandish speakers before, but the message delivered Nov. 15

by Elaine Brown—former leader of

the Black Panther Party—should frighten every Duke student.

The event, sponsored by the Black Student Alliance and

the Women’s Center, was not only a disgusting display of hate and anger but a terrible disservice to the many blacks and women who have calmly striven to promote reasoned equality and fairness. For Brown, a fiery woman who obviously enjoys the spotlight, progress can only be achieved through rage. This much was obvious from her presentation, when she hysterically argued that everyone should hate America, George W. Bush, Oprah Winfrey, Condoleeza Rice, apple pie, baseball, etc. Brown’s ignorance was matched only by her intolerance.

Maybe the content of the speech should come as no surprise—after all, Brown has made a living out of preaching racism. What is remarkable, however, is that the two sponsoring organizations would stoop so low.

BSA proudly claims “to represent the interests of the black undergraduate students at the University.” If this is true, then it is staggering to think that the BSA believes Brown is an appropriate spokesperson. A selfprofessed radical, not to mention a former member of this suspected terrorist organization, her hysterical

version ofracism mixed with her penchant for violence does nothing to promote the causes of black Americans. In fact, she advances exactly the image that many blacks have been fighting for decades.

It seems BSA’s only criteria for

the selection of a speaker is that the person be a well-known member of the appropriate racial minority.

Indeed, the Nov. 15 event would be no different than the Arab Students

Organization’s sponsoring a talk by Osama bin Laden. After all, bin Laden is a well-known person and an Arab. Purely as a bonus, he happens to be a terrorist leader like Brown. According to BSA logic, bin Laden is a superstar! But while this hypothetical speech would rightly stir up heated protest, the childish sermon by the former Black Panther caused hardly a ripple.

Even more grotesque, this terrorist love-in was co-sponsored by the Women’s Center, a supposedly academic entity. The center, which receives enormous support—both

intellectual and financial—from the administration, is supposed to

work objectively “to improve the

status of women at Duke.” Any student with half a brain knows that its real role is far more devious and political, as it wastes Duke’s money by churning out tired feminist essays in its vapid Voices magazine. But even so, the Brown event ups the ante significantly.

To spend its University finances and to use its name to lend credibility to a character such as Brown is an egregious betrayal of the center’s mission: Her speech did noth-

ing to “improve the status of women.” On the contrary, Brown’s Black Panthers promoted the use of rape as an “insurrectionary act,” in the words of Eldridge Cleaver, the minister of information for the Black Panthers from 1967 to 1971.

One would assume the Women’s Center opposes this act.

Perhaps some good will come from this speech, though, for the decision to bring Brown to speak is incredibly revealing; It shows the pernicious nature of multiculturalism. By foolishly emphasizing skin color and gender at the expense of all other traits, the cult of diversity elevates even the most unsavory characters simply because of their heritage.

Make no mistake: Brown came to speak not because she was a role model or because she had cogent insights that would be intellectually valuable for Duke students. No, she was brought in because she is a black female who has attained some notoriety. No matter that her fame results mostly from her criminal past; her race and her gender instantly qualify her to talk about “racism and feminism.”

These embarrassments will likely continue as long as reverse discrimination and self-segregation are institutionalized at American universities.

In the end, this may not be altogether bad. Blinded by a frightening zeal for their phony egalitarian vision, the multicultural warriors have done more to hurt their image than any conservative ever could.

The events of the past month have left all of us thinking more than ever before about the world, and how we can contribute to making it a better, safer place.

As we formulate our own individual, community and national responses to these events, it is valuable to point out how the J attacks and aftermath of Sept. 11 highlight the scholarship and policy work being done right here on Duke’s campus, specifically at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy.

The broad acclaim the Sanford Institute has won is a testament to the extraordinarily insightful and instructive efforts of its faculty and staff, and the practical knowledge they have cultivated for the whole of our University. The institute’s world-renowned excellence is reflected every day in its teaching, research and curriculum. And there is, perhaps, no better or more appropriate time for students to take full advantage of the courses and opportunities that the institute has to offer.

For example, students looking to gain a greater understanding of and perspective on recent national events need not look further than some of the institute’s course offerings, including such classes as “American International Economic Policy,” “Health Economics,” Guest Commentary “Trade and Finance” and “Macroeconomic Policy.”

Similarly, students interested in security policy can take In the wake of our recent national tragedy, the a number of relevant courses, including “U.S. National Sanford Institute has played a crucial role in helping Security: Cold War and Beyond,” “International Policy” the Duke community to better understand the conflu“U.S. Role in International Security Affairs” and ence of factors that culminated in the heinous terrorist “Globalization and Public Policy” which will be taught attacks on the United States.
