Field hockey coach leaves position Athletics Department officials deny that dissatisfaction among players was a factor in Liz Tchou’s resignation after seven years.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Citing a need to explore new options, field hockey head coach Liz Tchou resigned her position Tuesday.

Tchou, a seven-year head coach, recently led the team to the NCAA quarterfinals for the first time in Duke history, where it lost to Wake Forest. In her time at the helm of the field hockey program, Tchou has led the team to three NCAA tournaments and has compiled a 76-67 record.

“She’s a coach who has left the program in better shape than it was in when she came,” said Associate Director of Athletics Chris Kennedy. “Some of it has to do with budget and facilities, but I think Liz has moved the program forward. She’s been a good representative at Duke on and off the field.”

Athletic Director Joe Alieva echoed those sentiments in a statement, noting that he accepted Tchou’s resignation with both regret and gratitude.

Yet team members acknowledged that some on the team had been dissatisfied with Tchou’s coaching decisions this year.

DINERS EAT AT THE OAK ROOM GRILLE Tuesday evening. Tonight Duke Student Government will consider a resolution to bring the campus eatery under new management in order to improve the quality of food and presentation.

DSG to examine Oak Room changes Consideration of outside management arises again as potential move

By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

Just when its latest table has been set, The Oak Room Grille may undergo yet another change.

The Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee will present a resolution calling for a change of management at the restaurant, when Duke Student Government’s general body meets tonight. Currently, the restaurant is operated by ARAMARK Corp., which assumed management of the establishment in July 2001.

Isaac Dolgovskij and Barry Locker, co-chairs of DUSDAC, said students were satisfied with the menu but disappointed with inconsistent food quality and presentation.

“ARAMARK, as a corporation, has to manage many establishments [at Duke],” said Dolgovskij, a junior. “[Outsourcing] allows focus on one area as opposed to balancing everything else on your plate.”

The proposed resolution states that ARAMARK has “failed to be responsive to all of DUSDAG’s suggestions despite having ample time to implement

changes.” David Randolph, resident district manager for ARAMARK, could not be reached for comment.

Jim Wulforst, director ofDuke Dining Services, said the plans are still premature, depending on the official support of DSG and the Local 77 labor union.

“We have a lot of respect for the union and their concerns about further privatization, and we want to be true partners with them in this process, to make sure that we don’t do See OAK ROOM on page 8

Duke bucks Ohio State in blowout Duke, UNC discuss joint reading effort

GREENSBORO Daniel Ewing stole the ball, ran straight up the floor and into the lane before tossing a floater to a flying Dahntay Jones who slammed the ball through the rim for an alley-oop dunk, blowing open a close halftime game to beat the Ohio State Buckeyes 91-76 last night in the Greensboro Coliseum as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Duke (4-0) then survived an attempted Buckeye comeback that almost materialized before a J.J. Redick three-pointer with 2:29 left in the game gave the Blue Devils a 82-70 lead they would not relinquish. Duke then hit its free throws down the stretch and secured the win after an Ohio State (1-2) turnover a few possessions later.

“At the start of the second half we went nuts—everything went well for us,” said head coach Mike Krzyzewski, adding that he thought his team did not get complacent down the stretch See BASKETBALL on page 14

competition from cheaper high-speed services.

Analysts say Miller’s presentation may be decisive in determining whether AOL contributes to AOL Time Warner’s future growth or languishes as a costly liability. The company has increased the suspense by maintaining a strict silence on the details of its plans for about three months, although some details have leaked out, like AOL’s new reliance on content from its sister companies like Warner Brothers and Time Inc. The redirection in emphasis toward selling an add-on high-speed or broadband service will entail a big change in the company’s image with consumers, most of whom continue to think ofAOL as a company that connects people to the Internet, rather than as a suite of extra content and services. AOL had previously focused primarily on selling access to the Internet over phone lines.

Menorah to be lit on Chapel Quad

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

In an effort to promote diversity and religious tolerance, Duke will host what may be the campus’s most prominent menorah lighting ever in a Hanukkah ceremony tonight.

The event will take place on the Chapel Quadrangle, near a tree already decorated for the winter holidays, at 5:15 p.m.

Rabbi Zalman Bluming of the Durham-Chapel Hill Chabad organized the event.

“Hanukkah is a special time because the menorah represents the first symbol of religious freedom and the struggle against religious prejudice,” Bluming said.

Organizers said that both Duke President Nan Keohane and Durham Mayor Bill Bell will appear at the event, and they hope to attract members of Duke’s and Durham’s Jewish communities, as well as people of other faiths, to the lighting ofthe nine-foot menorah.

“It’s the most public Hanukkah menorah lighting in Duke’s history,” Bluming said. “To me, it’s very significant. It shows where Duke is today and the type of diversity it wants to display for its students.”

Tom Harkins, associate University archivist, said that he could not say whether this would be the most prominent menorah lighting in the University’s history, citing that there have been menorah lightings in the past.

“There have been menorah lightings in the Bryan Center and in Von Canon,” he said. “In the 1980s, there have been menorah lightings by the Christmas tree on West Campus.”

Bluming’s Chabad organization is separate from the University’s Freeman Center for Jewish Life, the Hillelaffiiliated center on Campus Drive that hosts many events for Jewish students and sponsors kosher dining. Jewish students comprise about 11 to 16 per-

cent ofDuke’s undergraduate body.

By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

JESSICA WEST/THE CHRONICLE

A NINE-FOOT TALL MENORAH sits partially lit Tuesday night on the Chapel Quadrangle. A large gathering is expected for tonight’s lighting at 5:15 p.m.

Jenny Bell, a junior and Hillel president, said the Freeman Center is also sponsoring menorah-lighting events all week long at 6:30 p.m. in different dormitories on East Campus and in the Alpha Epsilon Pi section on West Campus.

Hanukkah is an eight-day festival that commemorates the victory in 165 B.C. of the Maccabees over Antiochus Epiphanes and the rededication of the Temple at Jerusalem. The holiday, which began Nov. 30 this year, is not the most important religious holiday in Judaism, but is nonetheless one of the best-known, and is traditionally marked by lighting one of eight candles on a menorah every day for each of the holiday’s eight days.

Jared Dinkes, a second-year graduate student in political science, who is affiliated with Chabad and helped plan the event, said that traditionally, Hanukkah falls at a stressful time of year for many students.

“Hanukkah comes during finals time,” he said. “Because of the time of year... students are busy, trying to plan and get their semesters finished up.”

Dinkes, however, echoed Bluming’s sentiments about the statement the event will make.

“This is going to be a tremendous source of pride at Duke to see such important people, of not just the University community but the local community, taking part in celebrating Hanukkah,” he said.

Although Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Sigma are no longer options for students looking to join Interfraternity Council fraternities this year, the two groups strive to remain part of the greek community—just with different names.

The former members of SAE and Kappa Sig have voted to permanently change the titles of their groups. The fraternity formerly known as Kappa Sig now refers to itself as Eta Prime, its chapter name, and SAE will now call itself Delta Phi Alpha.

SAE and Kappa Sig—which disaffiliated from their respective national organizations in January and November—wanted to associate themselves with the new names before recruitment begins.

“This is something we decided last week to do. Mostly it was due to the fact thatrush was coming up and we want to have something to stand strongly with... without the problems ofdealing with the use of a name,” said Will Brown, president of the new Delta Phi Alpha and a senior. “Being able to refer to ourselves as something is very important.”

Both fraternities are prohibited by their national organizations from using or wearing their official fraternity titles.

Junior Mark Boyd, who was elected president ofEta Prime Monday evening, said the Kappa Sig national organization informed his brotherhood that using its name was unacceptable.

“They told us that since we’re not oncampus brothers anymore, we can’t wear See NAME CHANGE on page 8

Although it may be an accurate predictive mechanism, there is no evidence that regular screenings for signs of prostate cancer do anything to reduce deaths from the disease, reported the federal Preventive Services Task Force Tuesday. Although the panel did not oppose the tests, it argued that insufficient evidence exists to endorse them—a view increasingly endorsed among major medical groups. Prostate cancer currently accounts for more than 30,000 deaths among American men each year.

Math professor reaches out to minorities

By MALAVIKA PRABHU The Chronicle

Pursuing a dream has often been equated with reaching for the stars.

As a leading expert in stars and gravitation, Arlie Fetters, who has gained a reputation as one of the most successful black mathematicians in academia, serves as a model for younger minorities trying to grasp stars of their own.

As the William and Sue Gross associate professor of mathematics, Arlie Fetters —the first tenured black professor in Duke’s math department—was recently awarded the first Blackwell-Tapia prize for excellence in mathematics and for serving as a role model to minorities underrepresented in math and the sciences.

Born in a small town in Belize, Fetters moved to New York City to pursue his dream of studying math and physics to decipher the mystery of the stars, quite different from his original ambitions to be a painter.

“The turning point in my life was staying in the U.S. and pursuing math and physics like I would have pursued my passion in painting [in Belize],” Fetters said.

As a teenager in the 1980s, Fetters excelled in the U.S. despite racial discrimination—a new experience for him—because he did not allow it to undermine his self-confidence.

“Teachers [in high school] didn’t have high expectations of colored students in math and science,” he said, adding that he was viewed as an “oddity” when he performed well.

At Hunter College, where Fetters earned his bachelors and masters degrees in five years, his professors acted as role models, holding Fetters to a high standard in upper-level classes and creating an experience that eased the discrimination he had endured in high school. He went on to excel at both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he corn-

pleted his doctorate coursework, and

Princeton University, where he wrote his thesis.

His research has focused on the effects of gravitation on deflecting star light, for which he has been called the founder of mathematical astronomy.

Inspired by his Hunter professors, Fetters began mentoring students himself at a summer program at MIT, where he realized the value of being an intellectual and a high-achiever—two achievements often perceived as uncommon for a minority.

“What gives me the most pleasure [is setting an example of] excellence coupled with helping to train the next

■

generation of African-American students,” he said. Those two ingredients made him the first recipient of the Blackwell-Tapia prize, established by Cornell University and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.

Fetters has also been involved in minority outreach programs both at Duke and Princeton, and across the country.

He was integral in establishing the Goldman Sachs minority summer internship opportunity at Duke four years ago and has since seen six students take advantage of that resource.

City officials try to allay fears after school bus shooting Monday’s shooting in which a school bus was caught in the crossfire coincides with the launch of a program targeting violent crime.

By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle

officials tried to ease citizens’ concerns about safety in their neighborhoods Tuesday, holding a press conference in the wake of a recent shooting involving a school bus.

A stray bullet hit the back window of a Pearsontown Elementary School bus traveling near the Fayetteville Street housing complex Monday afternoon, grazing the driver and injuring two students. As they gave an update of the investigation Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Bill Bell and other city and school officials spoke with a collective sense of anger and stressed the need for community action.

RUTH CARLITZ/THE CHRONICLE “No one is more outraged than the INTERIM POLICE CHIEF STEVE CHALMERS, flanked at Tuesday’s press conference by Mayor Bill Bell officers [of the Durham Police Department] and myself,” Interim Police and City Manager Marcia Conner, solemnly addresses the shooting in which a school bus was hit.

“Children in that community still need to get to school.”

Dobbins added that changing bus routes would not necessarily prevent a similar incident. Durham Housing Authority Executive Director James Tabron said the shooting should not be interpreted as an indicator of public housing safety.

“We do feel many of our public housing units are some of the safest places you’re going to find in Durham,” he said. “These problems have their origins outside public housing.”

Chalmers echoed this sentiment, citing statistics about gun violence in the housing complex. “[This is] not an everyday occurrence in Fayetteville,” he said.

Tabron said he hopes that people in the Fayetteville Street complex will come forward with information related

to the incident.

In related efforts to increase the level of community policing, the DPD, in collaboration with the sheriff’s department, will launch Operation Looking Glass this week. The initiative will address violent crime in Durham by focusing on identifying and removing violent criminals from the city’s communities.

At Pearsontown Elementary, students who had been on the bus caught in the shooting were met Tuesday morning by the principal and counselors to discuss the incident. Extra personnel were added to the bus on its morning and afternoon routes.

Officials are encouraging anyone with related information to call Durham CrimeStoppers at 683-1200.

Lawyer examines intersection of genomics, ethics, law

By ROBERT MORRIS The Chronicle

Though the completely sequenced human genome is still new, scholars are already discussing the ethical ramifications ofits potential use in medicine.

John Robertson, research professor of law at the University of Texas, spoke to a crowd of about 35 faculty members and students about “The $l,OOO Genome: Ethical and Legal Issues.”

Robertson said the idea for the lecture came to him after hearing recent pronouncements in the medical community that a single person’s completely sequenced DNA, or genome, may one day be available to patients for $l,OOO. Even if the $l,OOO genome never becomes a reality, he said, “the discussion is helpful for focusing our attention on unresolved ethical issues that exist today.”

He quickly listed some potential advantages for a whole genotype, including use in identifying hereditary diseases, susceptibility to acquired diseases and potential responsiveness to different treatments. Barriers to the technology include existing patents, the sheer volume of work, high cost and a need to educate health care providers and patients.

The large amount of data contained in a genome creates risks that some information could be abused.

In response, Robertson addressed the legality of ownership of a person’s genome.

“There should be no sequencing of DNA without the person’s consent,” Robertson said. “The public will have to have some confidence that this information will be protected.”

Robertson warned that although there does exist a patchwork of state privacy laws, there is no nationwide protection from potential abuses.

“Constitutional privacy, a misnomer for autonomy, has been extended to reproductive rights, but not yet to personal information from the body,” Robertson said.

In the lecture—sponsored by Duke University’s Center for the Study of Medical Ethics and Humanities; Center for Genome Ethics, Law and Policy; and the

Kenan Institute for Ethics—Robertson also shared his vision of genome sequencing, if it should display obvious medical benefits that outweigh its potential risks.

“If it serves a health care need, it should be available for the entire public,” Robertson said. “This is not something that should be available to the wealthy only.”

Questions from the audience focused on potential risks posed by the information, including its undesired applicability to family members of the genotyped individual, and its misuse by commercial companies.

Robertson stressed that although the genome is new, these questions are “issues of consent and privacy we’ve been dealing with for a long time.”

Reaction to the talk was enthusiastic, “I’m really interested in the relationship between genomic science and public policy,” said sophomore Philip Kurian. “He did a good job of addressing things that, from a scientific perspective, we sometimes miss

our letters. That’s an illegal thing,” said Boyd, adding they have no interest in ever affiliating with Kappa Sig nationals again. “It would not really be the direction we want the fraternity to be moving. The whole point was to get rid of that affiliation,” he added.

Brown said SAE nationals never directly threatened his group, although they warned him to disassociate from the fraternity name when they saw SAE—a fraternity supposedly dissolved at Duke printed in The Chronicle.

“We weren’t being that proactive putting our name out there. Now with rush we want to put our name out there.... We wanted something that we could really stand behind,” said Brown, adding that he does not anticipate that people will stop calling the fraternity SAE until more students graduate.

To create their name, Delta Phi Alpha members formulated different types of fraternity names and then narrowed down the potential options to two choices, which were put to vote last week.

“We wanted to still have a fraternity name as opposed to some type of society,” Brown said. “The actual meaning of our name is something that we only know, and we’re proud of what that stands for.”

The decision for the former members of Kappa Sig to adopt their chapter name was an easier one.

“We have sort of all gone by our chapter name internally for years,” said junior Jeff Adams, former president of Kappa Sig. “We chose the nomenclature we did to maintain our loyalty to our group of individuals and brothers that we pledged with and those who came before us.”

Both groups said their name changes signify more than just a new title.

“We figured this was the best way to maintain continuity and maintain independence from the national fraternity,” Boyd said.

Eta Prime and Delta Phi Alpha are collaborating to foster an off-campus presence by meeting frequently and creating an off-campus fraternity council.

“One of the things that we and Kappa Sig are doing with this new change is to create this new culture,” Brown said. “Both our groups are really trying to [show] that this is not just a temporary or reactionary measure but something that’s going to be around for awhile.”

ters emphasized the need for more black faculty because black students are hesitant to pursue a field where no leaders of the same race have been before.

“You need to see faculty achieving in these fields to go into those fields,” Fetters said. Currently, he estimated, less than one percent of people studying mathematics

“As a minority coming to Duke, it’s difficult to find your place,” she said.

Feben Girma, another scholar and a sophomore, said Fetters was a great adviser who connected her with very helpful mentors. However, as a psychology major and chemistry minor, Girma has noticed the dearth of black faculty

al sense from our students is that we need to have a trendy restaurant operate.”

Dining Services has looked at Taverna Nikos, Papa’s Grill, Outback Steakhouse and Chili’s, among other establishments, as possible operators in the past, Wulforst said, though the lack of parking has deterred some prospective owners, among other reasons. Rick Lynch, owner of Rick’s Diner, and Fares Hanna, who operates the Blue Express at the Levine Science Research Center, have also expressed interest in managing The Oak Room Grille.

DUSDAC’s proposal specifically recommends Hanna, who has managed hotel restaurants, George’s Garage and Cafe Parizade, to manage The Oak Room Grille and Faculty Commons, which share a kitchen. “[Hanna] has done this a lot, and he’s done it very well,” Locker said. “He would not have worked at George’s for more than a day if he wasn’t putting out a quality product consistently.”

Hanna’s ideas for the restaurant include familystyle dining, similar to that at Maggiano’s restaurant, a piano player and an upscale Sunday buffet. Locker said Hanna’s proposed prices would also be lower than current prices, and mentioned shrimp and grits, scallop potato chowder and pan-seared salmon served over couscous as possible menu additions.

If privatized, The Oak Room Grille would open next semester under new management with an interim contract through May.

anything without everyone being on the same page,” Wulforst said.

Wulforst, with Joe Pietrantoni, associate vice president for auxiliary services, and Martha Davidson, dining business manager, plan to meet with the executive board ofLocal 77 today to follow-up a November meeting at which Local 77’s executive board and dining service administrators discussed the financial stability of the establishment.

Two years ago, when DSG legislators passed a similar resolution calling for the privatization ofThe Oak Room, the union did not support the idea. Without that support, Wulforst said, Dining Services was unable to privatize

the restaurant.

Locker, a senior, said he hopes the outsourcing will be possible this year because the union has expressed support. “The union is fully on board. No one is going to lose their jobs at all,” he said.

Despite ARAMARK’s efforts to renovate the restaurant’s ambiance and reputation—from prices and menu to lighting and paint—and to change the management, Wulforst said, the establishment has still not been able to increase profits.

“The sales of the last two years have really either flatlined or declined despite the renovations and changes that we’ve made,” he said. “I think the gener-

SUMMER READING

said a new committee will be formed early next semester to select next summer’s reading. He hoped that a final selection would be made in late March or

early April.

Lombardi said that he and UNC officials have looked at a joint program, but that they have decided against merging certain aspects—such as the seminars in which freshmen discuss the reading selection—because of the logistical difficulties it would create. They are considering assigning the same reading, however.

“What we’re going to do is as each of our selection teams meet and begin to look at potential books, we’ll certainly share those with one another,” said Cindy Wolf Johnson, UNO’s associate vice chancellor for student affairs. “If something naturally emerges, we certainly might share some of the readings.”

UNO’s freshman reading this fall included selections from and interpretations of the Qur’an. The selection ignited a firestorm of criticism within the state, and also a groundswell of support from academic institutions.

Lombardi said that he would never select a book simply to stir controversy, but he said the UNC situation may have achieved its objective.

“There was a lot of circus going on with it, but the positive outcome for them was that it inspired dialogue and real good conversation,” Lombardi said.

“Maybe it did a good job of getting something going,” he added.

Each member ofDuke’s freshman class was sent a copy of “The Palace Thief,” a short story by Ethan Canin, to read over the summer before matriculation. Discussions were then held during orientation in small groups led by First-Year Advisory Counselors. Later in the year, Student Affairs hosted two showings of the motion picture version of the story—released this fall—as well as a discussion with the author afterward.

Lombardi said about 800 students attended the two film showings, and many stayed after the film to discuss the story with Canin late into the night.

JEFFBURLIN/THE CHRONICLE

FRESHMEN DISCUSS “THE PALACE THIEF” in a small-group session during orientation this fall. In planning for next year’s summer reading program, officials said the session could be complemented by faculty involvement or discussion in Academic Writing 20.

“It was a good start,” said Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services.

“It’s not the first year we’ve ever given a work of literature in advance, but it’s the first year of a fairly robust program and I think it can get better but it

Dunk ignites Duke run in 2nd half Money talks, Overly aggressive play leads Blue Devils to foul trouble late in game

Duke balks on Franks

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

GREENSBORO As Duke strolled onto the floor at the beginning of the second half, the Blue Devils decided it was time to turn up the volume in Greensboro Coliseum. Duke’s defensive play made an immediate impact as Daniel Ewing stole the ball and sprinted down court ready to make an easy dunk.

Dahntay Jones, however, had other ideas about the end of this play as he called for an alley-oop from his sophomore teammate.

Ewing lofted the ball in front of the basket for Jones, who caught the rock in mid-flight before bringing down a windmill jam that erupted the Duke bench

In his 13 completed seasons as the Aggies’ head coach, Slocum had never posted a losing record. Franks’ best season was in 1999, when the Blue Devils went 3-8.

Slocum ran into tough times at A&M recently, however. His team’s 3-5 record against Big 12 teams this season was its first losing conference mark since 1984, and for the third season in a row, the Aggies lost to fl their biggest rival, the V Texas Longhorns, this time by a 30-point margin.

“I heard Dahntay behind me and he was saying ‘windmill, windmill,’ and I just wanted to be unselfish,” Ewing said. “I got an assist and it will probably be on ESPN tonight.

Ohio State’s head coach Jim O’Brien called for a timeout to stop the bleeding as his Buckeyes fell victim to an 8-0 run early in the second half by Duke.

O’Brien’s game break with 18:23 remaining did not stop the Blue Devils’ momentum as Jones and Casey Sanders stole the ball on consecutive Ohio State possessions.

Duke’s burst of energy forced O’Brien’s squad into a physical stretch of the game, which favored the Blue Devils Tuesday night. The Buckeyes managed to score for the first time in the second half with 16:18 on the

North Carolina’s first-year players were impressive at times —as advertised.

And Illinois’ crop wasn’t bad, either.

But it was Cook and Harrington who made the biggest difference as No. 25 Illinois ran away in the final eight minutes and beat No. 12 North Carolina 9265 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Cook scored 22 points and Harrington had a career-high 20, making 6-of-8 three-pointers, to lead the Illini and send Carolina to its first loss.

Illinois (4-0) led 64-57 with 7:42 left and then took off, outscoring the Tar Heels (5-1) 28-8.

“We didn’t exhibit the poise that we had previously,” Tar Heels coach Matt Doherty said. “A lot of times, games come down to matchups and we didn’t match up well.”

They had plenty of trouble containing the 6-foot-10 Cook, who was 8-of-12 from the field and had eight rebounds

Freshman Sean May led North Carolina with 21 points, Jawad Williams had 15 and freshman Rashad McCants 13.

“We were kind of jittery at beginning and once we settled down, I thought our freshmen responded well,” Cook said.

“They had great players. We knew a lot

of the things they wanted to do and just

came out and executed.”

No. 10 Indiana 80, No. 9 Maryland 74, OT

Maryland’s INDIANAPOLIS Steve Blake thought he had beaten Indiana again.

Hoosiers coach Mike Davis never had a doubt.

Eight months after losing to the Terrapins in the national championship game and minutes after having a potential game-winning midcourt heave by Blake at the regulation buzzer waved off, the No. 10 Hoosiers beat No. 9 Maryland 80-74 in overtime Tuesday night.

“I thought he walked,” Davis said of Blake’s near buzzer-beater. “I walked over to the bench and said ’There’s going to be an angry crowd if they count

that basket.’”

Tom Coverdale matched his career high for Indiana (5-0) with 30 points.

Blake led Maryland (3-1) with 22 points and seven rebounds, but the shot that mattered most didn’t count.

With 7.1 seconds to go, Indiana freshman Sean Kline made one of two free throws to tie the score at 68.

Indiana rebounded the miss and had two shots to win it. Both missed and when Tom Coverdale’s errant threepointer bounced to midcourt, Blake scooped itand heaved it.

The Maryland players began celebrating as the three officials went to the scorer’s table to view a replay.

“It definitely went in, I thought I

got it off in time,” Blake said. “They looked at instant replay and they didn’t think so. Everyone will probably look at ESPN and have their own decision on that.”

After a few minutes, the officials huddled near midcourt, called both coaches over and then waved off the basket.

Coverdale was 8-of-16 from the field, including 5-of-10 from three-point range, and he was 9-of-10 at the free throw line. He rallied the Hoosiers from a 14-point first-half deficit, and when the game went to overtime, he helped settle down Indiana.

In overtime, Maryland took a 72-69 lead, but Coverdale helped settle down the Hoosiers. Kline made two of four, free throws and Newton’s putback with 2:31 to go gave Indiana a 73-72 lead.

Kline made a layup, Strickland a threepointer and Kline two more free throws to seal the win.

Clemson 79, Penn State 70

ANDERSON, S.C. Clemson coach Larry Shyatt says his star senior point guard Ed Scott did what he was supposed to do in the second half of the Tigers 7970 win over Penn State Tuesday night.

Scott, who had just five points in the first half, scored 25 and dished out seven assists.

Clemson (3-0) never trailed, jumping out to a 15-2 lead sparked by Chey Christie’s seven points. The Tigers are off to their best start since in four seasons.The Nittany Lions (0-4) are off to their worst start since 1931.

Duke’s aggressive play to open the second half certainly busted open the game, but it would also lead to several fouls which eventually slowed the pace ofthe contest considerably.

“We helped them by fouling so much,” Krzyzewski said, adding that his team could never get into a rhythm because it kept fouling. “At one point they couldn’t miss a shot, they either hit the shot or got fouled.

Tchou declined to comment on specific issues with her players.

“There were definitely playing-time issues,” she said. “I just can’t comment on that. I think the staffdid the best we could and the team did the best it has ever done this year, so there’s got to be some positive there.

Kennedy said there is no official timeline for finding a new head coach, but that he hoped the replacement would be in place by the beginning of the spring semester. He anticipated that the department would interview candidates between Christmas and the start of

the new semester.

high-powered defensive play, its bench should receive even more playing time due to abundant fouls. The Blue Devils may be deeper this year, but they cannot continue to send opposing teams to the charity stripe and start a foulshooting contest.

Duke went to the line 10 more times than the Buckeyes Tuesday but only converted five more shots.

Aside from Duke’s foul-shooting woes, their style of play could also suffer from their more aggressive nature.

The Blue Devils’ freedom on the court in the past has been one of their greatest strengths but their recent foul problems could hinder their competitiveness late in the game when playing aggressively.

A recent athletics department mission statement identified field hockey as one of several potential national contenders based on its current resources.

Tchou also expressed hope that the team would thrive next year.

“Overall, the team’s performance this year was very consistent,” she said. “They can only get better. The first-years did a great job. This is the best year we’ve played as a team. With the recruits coming in, I think

they’re on the up and up.”

Its last NCAA berth came in 1999, when the team finished the season ranked eighth in the nation. In her first year, Tchou led the Blue Devils to a 12-10 record, its second-ever NCAA tournament and a final No. 10 national ranking. Tchou played for the American field hockey team in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta as well.

Tchou, a 1988 graduate of lowa, was part of two Big Ten championship squads, went to three Final Fours and was a member of lowa’s 1986 national championship squad.

An lowa assistant from 1989-90, Tchou crisscrossed the ACC as a Virginia assistant in 1992 and a North Carolina assistant in 1993 before landing an assistant coaching position in 1994 at Duke, where she assumed the head coaching position in 1996.

despite Ohio State’s comeback attempt.

“Then, everything went well for them After leading 41-33 at the end of the first 20 minutes, Duke used some sharpshooting from Ewing, Jones and Redick, coupled with some air-tight defense to hold the Buckeyes scoreless for nearly the first four minutes of the second stanza, and take command of the ball game.

Following the alley-oop, the two teams traded misses, steals, blocks and then misses again before Redick drained a three from the top-left side giving Duke a *

52-33 advantage.

Ohio State finally converted a Terence Dials dunk for their first points of the half, but Redick answered the call again, this time driving into traffic, laying it up and off the glass, and drawing the foul.

A Casey Sanders foul shot a few possessions later gave Duke its largest lead of the game, 27, with 12:59 left to play.

“We came out and wanted to beat them in the first four minutes and give them one of our knockout punches,” Duhon said.

“But they stood and came fighting, battled back and it shows the type of character those guys have.”

The final 10 minutes were marked by a string offouls on both teams —a move that allowed Ohio State to crawl slowly back in the game.

With 7:30 left and Duke up by 18, the Buckeyes converted on three possessions, two from behind the arc and one in the lane, scoring eight unanswered and cutting the game to 10, 75-65.

After getting as close as eight with 4:34 left, OSU never really threatened again after Ewing and Redick hit key buckets.

“Down the stretch the last four minutes I thought we played sensational basketball,” Krzyzewski said. “I was really proud

of our effort against an excellent basketball team tonight.”

Following a rough first 15-plus minutes in which Duke was either tied with or trailing the Buckeyes, the Blue Devils finally got back on their feet with a late first-half surge.

Ewing followed up a trey with a pair of conversions at the foul line before taking a Chris Duhon steal and drawing a foul on a missed dunk that brought down the house.

The sophomore then nailed the pair from the charity stripe before a turnover

by Ohio State’s Brent Darby, who had a game-high 35 points, led to a Jones three-pointer.

The Buckeyes then tried to respond, but missed a trifecta that found the hands of Duhon, who gave the rock in transition to Jones. The senior then missed a jumper, but got his own rebound before tossing it back to Duhon, who found an open Ewing on an inside cut for the easy layup.

The deuce gave Duke its largest lead of the half, 36-28 with 2:58 left.

“That was a testament to our kids; they played well under those conditions, they didn’t throw in the towel,” Ohio State head coach Jim O’Brien said. “These guys are a high-octane offense and they can go on blitzes.”

For the first time this season, Duke used a different starting lineup, opting for more experience. Krzyzewski benched Ewing, Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams in favor of Nick Horvath, Redick and Sanders.

“The starting lineup’s not set and you always want to be a starter,” Horvath said.

“So every day you show up to practice, show up to games, trying the best you can. It’s not necessarily going to work out for you.”

The Blue Devils now get a small breather before facing former Duke player and assistant coach Tommy Amaker and his Michigan Wolverines Saturday, Dec. 7 at 3:30 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

LARRY BROADWAY, pictured last year playing for the Blue Devils, continues to attend Duke classes during the fall, but is pursuing a pro career.

BASEBALL from page 11

two former teammates part. After graduating from Duke, Kelly moved to Salem, Ore., where the Giants’ triple-A

snapped a knee ligament and had to go under the knife, while Broadway missed 37 games due to back problems.

“It sucked,” Kelly said. “I played every inning of every game at Duke as a senior, then two weeks later I was playing pro ball. I was trying all my life to get there, then as soon as I get there, I get hurt.”

Hillier warned of the problems that

affiliate is based.

“I don’t miss the work or anything like that,” he said. “But I miss my teammates, miss the coaching staff, miss the school.”

Broadway, meanwhile, returned to Duke after summer play in time to enroll in the University’s fall semester. For the fall, at least, life doesn’t seem to have changed much for Broadway, who said he hangs around with former team-mates, living in an apartment with some of them. He plans to attend school again next fall, when he will graduate with a degree in sociology and a certificate in mar-

come with injury.

“The biggest thing when going out to pro ball is that you’ve got to stay healthy,” he said. “Organizations know that you are going to have slumps, that you will have good days and bad days, but the most important thing is to be able to go out and play every day.”

Both players seem eager to resume their careers, however. Unlike some pro athletes, who at times seem to take a listless attitude when returning from injury, thinking that their jobs are probably secure, both Kelly and Broadway emerged from injury with a renewed sense of love for the game.

“After a while I just wanted to get in and play,” Broadway said. “It didn’t really matter if I was going to do well or not.”

From there, it seems, the paths ofthe

DAVIS from page 11 for winning, but not winning enough. At Duke, Franks was retained despite all the losing that occurred during the past four seasons.

Though the situations were quite different, the rhetoric was eerily similar.

“We had a season where we lost several close games that could have gone either way and no one was more disappointed than me with our record,”

Slocum told the Associated Press.

“However, we have some really outstanding young players and I felt our future was bright.”

In supporting Franks, Alieva was also intent on focusing on future projections, not current failures.

“I think the team has really improved,” Alieva said. “We’ve gone from losing games by 30 points to losing games by two, three and four points, and that's the first step.”

What neither mentioned is fact that college football has come to adopt the phrase so eloquently coined by Wu-Tang

kets and management.

Like many of their classmates, both are adjusting to one over-arching change: That they are earning a living, playing a game.

“I still enjoy it, I love it, it’s awesome, but it’s definitely a job,” Broadway sad.

“It’s run like a business.”

Kelly agreed: “Once I graduated, all my buddies were getting professional jobs and I’m playing professional baseball. It’s kind of weird. I loved it, I thought it was great.”

Neither, however, seems to be considering giving up the dream of the majors.

Clan: “Cash rules everything around me.”

Building a winning team sells tickets and leads to bowl game invitations, all of which lead to dollar bills, y’all.

Perhaps in College Station, money was too much of a focus. A 6-6 record this season was able to overshadow the fact that Slocum was the winningest coach in Aggies history.

At Duke, though, the powers that be need to look long and hard at the bottom line. This was a year of changes, from the completion of the state-ofthe-art Yoh Football Center to a loosening of academic standards for football recruits. Shawn Johnson was named to the All-ACC first team, while Alex Wade ranked third in the conference in rushing.

All of the pieces seem to be in place for Duke to rise out of the ACC cellar.

The Blue Devils need only one thing: a coach who can lead them in their pursuit of victories—and dollars. *

The Chronicle Up with affirmative action

In

deciding to hear two cases involving the University ofMichigan’s race-conscious admissions policies, the U.S. Supreme Court set the stage this week for what promises to be an historic decision on race in America. The court should cautiously uphold Michigan’s policies to promote both equality across races and diversity in the classroom.

Quite simply, to do otherwise would turn back the clock on racial integration and equality in America by returning many of America’s top public universities to the same racial make-up they had 30 years ago. It was then that affirmative action policies first began welcoming historically suppressed groups to the same institutions and privileges that whites had enjoyed for centuries.

There is no shortage of data to show that without the continuation of such policies, at least for now, minority groups would be pushed back toward society’s fringes. Since a 1996 federal appeals court ruling struck down affirmative action in Texas, black students have come to comprise only 3 percent ofthe student body at the University of Texas at Austin, a top public university, despite the fact that 12 percent of the state’s population is black. The scenario has been similarly tragic at the University of California at Berkeley, and the justices should prevent the same situation from being duplicated at Michigan and other universities.

Moreover, diversity of race itself adds a unique and valuable dynamic to academic communities. Opponents of affirmative action accurately note the importance of other types of diversity—including political, economic and experiential—but for most individuals, race continues to affect how their personalities develop and how they view the world. In the classroom, the dormitory and all the other areas of university life, interacting with people ofthose different perspectives has become an integral part ofhigher education. With the lack of practical measures for other types of diversity, race can also act as a useful, if not entirely accurate, proxy for those types.

Of course, the real need for affirmative action arises not out of any discriminatory practices by admissions officers but from the systemic disadvantages that minorities disproportionately must overcome.

America’s education system, from the earliest pre-school programs through the secondary schools, is arguably as unequal as it was when affirmative action began.

Children with minority backgrounds—especially those who are black—are more likely to be bom into poor neighborhoods with higher crime rates, and thus generally have less of a chance of succeeding than their white counterparts. Until such inequalities are erased from American society, some form of affirmative action will be necessary.

Opponents of affirmative action note with some accuracy that to admit or deny admission to an applicant based on race—even as one of many factors—leaves a sour taste in the mouth of anyone seeking eventual race-blind equality ofopportunity. Moreover, they argue, the narrow, rigid racial categories that any affirmative action program requires cannot possibly begin to describe one’s diversity.

But because an end to affirmative action would almost certainly mean a return to a less diverse, less equal society, as well as a diminished academic environment, the Supreme Court should uphold Michigan’s admissions policies.

Letters to the editor

Head line monitor explains policy for several games As the semester is drawing to a close, the basketball season is just warming up.

There are three very important issues I want to make students aware of that involve attending games in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The first announcement is in regards to the Feb. 1 game of our No. 1 ranked women’s team versus No. 4

UConn. Sell-out crowds are expected for this first nationally televised women’s game in Cameron.

In order to attend the game, you must pick up a free ticket this Wednesday,

Thursday or Friday—Dec. 4, 5, and 6—at one of three locations: the Bryan Center Box Office from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the Cameron Box Office from 8:30 a.m. to and the 4:30 p.m.; Marketplace (Thursday only) from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This should be a fantastic game and is a great opportunity to come sup-

port the women’s team.

The second announcement is this about Saturday’s men’s game versus Michigan at 3:30 p.m. in Cameron. Like all week-

On

end games, this will be a walk-up game. Students may begin lining up whenever they wish. Once a significant number of people are lined up, line monitors will begin registering groups up to three hours prior to the game. All registered groups must have 25 percent of their group in line at all times. The secondary line will form three hours prior to the game at 12:30 p.m. and students in this line will be admitted to this game after the primary line. into Admission Cameron will begin 90 minutes prior to tip-off.

Finally, I want to make the tenting rules clear for this spring. The first tenting game is Feb. 5 vs. UNC. Students may have 12 people per tent and erect their tent whenever they wish; however, they will not be monitored until 10 tents have been established. Blue registration for the UNC will in be game Krzyzewskiville plaza on Jan. 24 or whenever 50

tents have been established, whichever comes first. Prior to white regis-

tration, all tents must have eight of 12 tent members in K-ville from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Sunday through Thursday nights and 2 a.m.

10 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

Additionally at least one tent member must be present at all times, 24 hours per day.

White registration will occur 10 days prior to the basketball game on Jan. 26.

Following white registration, at least one member of every tent must be in Kville 24 hours per day. The location for white registration will be announced on

the K-ville website at http://dsg.duke.edu/k-ville.php. All ofthe detailed information about tenting will also be on this website in the near future.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to

me at contact j.morgan@duke.edu. Thank you very much and enjoy the games. Let’s go Duke!

Democrats must oppose Islamic dictatorships By ceding foreign policy to Bush, liberals allow United States to coddle fundamentalism Overdue by introspection Democrats is sadly dominated by those who would sacrifice principles for power and those who would sacrifice both for ego. Too many JP7 “Democrats” mimic Republicans to win office (failing to wonJIG der why voters wouldv n’t vote for the real Bala thing) and too many Ambati “liberals” chase chic causes like bashing Sweep of Daylight America and globalization or whitewashing Islamic fundamentalism for sheer narcissism.

A coherent vision for America that is superior to President George W. Bush’s has yet to emerge. There is no shame in being liberal, either in foreign policy or domestic affairs. On both counts, Democrats have great scope to challenge the Republican agenda After Vietnam and Iran’s hostage "

crisis, Democrats ceded defense and

foreign affairs to Republicans for a quarter century. Yet liberals have an honored and esteemed record in this arena. All three of the 20th century conflicts in which America fought and built democracies in the aftermath (World Wars I and II and the Korean War), as well as the Berlin airlift and Cuban missile crisis, were carried out under Democratic presidents; the mantle of Wilson, FDR, Truman and Kennedy should be reclaimed by Democrats and should stand in contrast to the cynical support of dictatorships that is the hallmark of Republican administrations.

It is therefore past time that the Democrats challenge the president on why he continues to coddle Saudi

Arabia and Pakistan. The former is the

prime exporter of ideology and money for Islamic fundamentalists as well as

the breeding ground of 15 of the Sept. Republican tradition of supporting possibly Osama bin Laden himself.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is a country where the Islamic fundamentalist gunman who killed motorists in Langley, Va., was honored with a moment of silence in its National Assembly as well as a hero’s funeral. Pakistan’s leading exports are nuclear weapons to North Korea and terrorists to India, ironically coupled to their import of terrorists besieged in Kunduz last year. Pakistan traded nuclear weapons technology for ballistic missiles from North Korea not just for years before Sept. 11 but this past July, using American military transport planes provided after Sept. 11 to boot.

Other domestic issues offer many opportunities for Democrats to lay out an agenda for progress with creative and innovative solutions for national problems. But on national security, candor compels that the Democrats make the president realize that by continuing support for Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, he betrays the moral clarity he donned as the mantle of his presidency.

Hey, lucky duckies!

Carping critics of the conservative movement have been known to say that its economic program consists of little more than tax cuts, tax cuts and

Paul Krugman Guest Commentary

In case you’re wondering what this is about, it’s an internal squabble of the right. The Journal is terrified that future tax cuts might include token concessions to ordinary families; it wants to ensure that everything goes to corporations and the wealthy. But the political theory revealed by the editorial—policy should be nasty to people with low incomes, lest they have any good feelings about government—may explain a lot of what has been happening lately.

more tax cuts. I may even have said that myself. If For example, House Republicans recently refused so, I apologize. Emboldened by the midterm election, key conservative ideologues have now declared their to extend unemployment insurance. Their inaction support for tax increases—but only for people with means that later this month more than 800,000 low incomes. workers will receive Merry Christmas letters from such things the government, telling them that their benefits The public debut ofthis idea came, as often do, on the editorial page of The Wall Street have been cut off. This would have been a harsh deciJournal. The page’s editors, it seems, are upset that sion under any circumstances. At a time when the some low-income people pay little or nothing in administration says we need further tax cuts to stimulate demand, slashing the incomes of the very income taxes. Not, mind you, because of the lost revenue, but because these “lucky duckies”—The households most likely to cut their spending sounds Journal’s term, not mine—might not be feeling a like a lose-lose proposition. But once you realize that pain is good because it makes citizens hate their govproper hatred for the government.

The Journal considers a hypothetical ducky who ernment, it all makes sense.

An even better example is the failure of Congress earns only $12,000 a year—some guys have all the luck! —and therefore, according to the editorial, to provide adequate funds for the State Children’s “pays a little less than 4 percent of income in taxes.” Health Insurance Program. The details of the legNot surprisingly, that statement is a deliberate misislative maneuvering are complex, but what it comes income down to is that conservatives showed no interest in only the calculation refers to representation; maintaining adequate funding for this highly suctaxes. If you include payroll and sales taxes, a work20 cessful program. The sums involved are not large, by perer earning $12,000 probably pays well over Washington standards. But the results will be dracent of income in taxes. But who’s counting?

What’s interesting, however, is what The Journal matic: according to Office of Management and finds wrong with this picture: The worker’s taxes aren’t Budget estimates, 900,000 children will lose health insurance over the next three years. “enough to get his or her blood boiling with rage.”

We are, of course, now living in what George W. Bush has called the “era of personal responsibility”: if a child chooses to have parents who can’t afford health care, that child will have to accept the consequences. But there may also be political calculation involved. Again, the government mustn’t do anything good, because then people might not realize that government is bad. Understand?

What do we learn from this catalog of cruelties? We leam that “compassionate conservatism” and “leave no child behind” were empty slogans—but while this may have come as a surprise to the faith-based John J. dilulio, some of us thought it was obvious all along. More important,we leam how relentless and extremist today’s conservative movement really is.

Some people—moderate Republicans who aren’t ready to admit what has happened to their party, and Democrats who think their party can appease the right by making its own promises of smaller government—still don’t get it. They imagine that at some point the right will decide that it has gotten what it wants.

But the right’s ambitions have no limits, and nothing moderates can offer will appease it.

Eventually the public, which actually benefits from most of the programs the right is determined to abolish, will figure that out. But how fast voters figure it out depends a lot on whether moderate politicians clearly articulate the issues, or try to escape detection by sounding like conservatives.
