Sigma Phi Epsilon gets housing

Plagiarism cases jump during fall

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Sigma Phi Epsilon will receive offi-

cial housing on West Campus next year, completing the transition from a newly reinstituted fraternity to a fullyintegrated member of the University’s greek community.

The 36-member group is the first greek selective house to be awarded oncampus "housing status in 10 years, since Alpha Phi Alpha, a member of the National Panhellenic Council, was given housing in 1993, and the first Interfraternity Council group to receive housing since Alpha Epsilon Pi first settled on campus in 1985.

“We always thought our time would come,” said Sig Ep president Elliot Silver. “We think that to a point, [not having housing] helped us to survive. Without a central location, it’s made us tighter as a fraternity.”

Silver, a junior, said the group would be located in Edens 18, where the former Kappa Sigma fraternity currently resides. In November, Kappa Sig choose to disaffiliatefrom its national organization and relinquished University housing.

Director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life Todd Adams said- the decision was made jointly by Residential Life and Housing Services and by the Dean of Students office. He said that the group, which has sought housing in recent years since its reinstatement into IFC in 2000, had not received housing because of the uncertainty surrounding the new residential life plan.

“Initially it came to mind in 2000 when they were looking for housing,” Adams said. “The University had a poliSee SIG EP on page 8

Duke stays a-Wake to improve to 11-0 record

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

What was supposed to be a close, hardught matchup be-

undefeated schools in Division I college basketball gradually evolved into a full-out rout Sunday night, as top-ranked Duke ran out to a 30-point lead in the second half on its way to a 74-55 victory over Wake Forest at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The Blue Devils broke open a tie game with 4:33 remaining in the first half, stunning the visitors with a game-altering 10-0 run. Duke captain Chris Duhon began the spurt, draining back-to-back three-point shots and the Blue Devils completely shut down the Demon Deacons to take a 10-point lead into halftime.

The second half then proved to be See WAKE in Sportswrap on page 4

Despite increased University efforts to educate undergraduates on how to avoid plagiarism and correctly cite sources, academic dishonesty case numbers increased dramatically at the end of the fall semester.

At least 26 cases were referred to the Undergraduate Judicial Board last semester, up from 15 to 20 per semester in previous years, said Dean of Judicial Af- V fairs Kacie Wallace.

“The majority of A D M|C them were plagiahte&ritu ' a rism cases, although there were some [instances] of cheating [on exams],” Wallace said. “We had the full range of plagiarism of a few sentences to entire papers that have been cut and pasted or downloaded.”

Wallace has been holding as many as three hearings a day related to academic dishonesty since the beginning of the semester, and about half of the cases have been resolved. Punishment has ranged from probation to three-semester suspension, but no expulsions have been administered thus far.

The rise ofthe Internet as the primary place for student research has changed the shape of plagiarism, she noted. '

Guinier highlights MLK celebration

By CHRISTINA NG The Chronicle

When several University students travel to Washington, D.C. this weekend to participate in a protest against a possible war with Iraq, their main agenda will be President George W Bush’s current foreign policy. But, under the sponsorship of Duke’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration Committee, they will also be honoring King’s legacy as a “radical pacifist.”

The students will live out the theme, literally, of “In The Footsteps,” the title of this year’s two-week celebration of King and other civil rights activists.

The celebration starts today with a discussion on King’s ministry led by William Turner, associate professor of the practice at the Divinity School. This year, organizers said, an even broader range of the student body, faculty and staff is choosing to participate in commemoration events ranging from discussions, a cultural performance and an advance screening of a documentary.

The three former students caught stealing $lOO,OOO of electronic equipment were sentenced Friday by the Durham County Superior Court. See page 3

“The [celebration’s] theme focuses on what we can do in this community to build upon the absolute best of the prophetic Christian tradition that Martin Luther King embodied,” said Divinity School Senior Associate Dean for Academic Programs Willie Jennings, chair of the MLK Commemoration Committee.

One of the celebration’s highlights is a collaboration with North Carolina Central University to air an advance screening of the documentary Two Towns of Jasper the evening of Friday, Jan. 17. The documentary explores the reactions and viewpoints of the residents of Jasper, Texas, to the 1998 death of James Byrd, Jr., who was chained to a truck and dragged by three white men.

“Listening to the black and white communities of Jasper talk about the crime turned out to be a pretty startling revelation of the depth of the division that exists between the black and white Americans,” said

Almost $l,OOO in personal belongings were stolen from a vehicle that was broken into in the Edens B parking lot.

Terrorists target military build-up Officials report evidence of plan to bomb private airliner contracted by military

By THOM SHANKER

New York Times News Service

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, 111.

Troops and weapons moving toward

the Persian Gulf have come under threat of possible terrorist attack, according to senior military officials, who said they are more alert than ever to the risks.

Within the past three weeks, U.S. intelligence gathered what officials described as credible evidence of a planned bombing of a passenger airliner contracted to fly troops and freight for the military.

To counter what senior commanders call the growing threat of attack on those mobilizing for a possible war with Iraq, the U.S. military has begun

for the first time to share classified intelligence warnings directly and

quickly with commercial transporta-

tion companies ferrying U.S. forces toward the Middle East from here and

abroad, the senior officials said.

For example, in the case of the suspected bombing plan, the military had intelligence identifying a specific civilian airline company, a specific airport in the United States and a specific date and time of a possible attack, military and intelligence officials said. They refused to discuss details, citing security considerations.

Military officials removed from the report details that might have revealed the source of the warning or the methods by which it was gath-

ered. Then, rather than risk any delays from working through domestic law enforcement authorities or federal transportation safety agencies, the military gave the secret threat assessment directly to the private airline company.

Security officials at the company took pre-emptive steps, including changing the date and time of the flight and the route it followed.

A number of other new steps to share intelligence warnings with the private freight and passenger sector—including a password-protected website—are being formulated here at Scott Air Force Base, in the cornSee TERRORISM on page 6

There were other developments in the United States and Russia that indicated a diplomatic solution might be a bit closer. Bill Richardson, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who talked with North Korean representatives last week, said he expected low-level talks would begin between the United States and North Korea at the United Nations. And Russia’s Foreign Ministry expressed some optimism about a possible settlement of the crisis.

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS From staff reports

Bumess takes leave Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations John Bumess is taking an administrative leave this semester and will return to campus before commencement in May. Bumess will be in Durham for the months of January and March, and in Europe in February. He also plans to spend most of April at the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University, where he will update a paper he wrote on the media and higher education in 1991. He also plans to work on issues associated with the aftermath of Sept. 11 and academic freedom.

During Bumess’ absence, Associate Vice President for News and Communications David Jarmul will be principally responsible for coordinating the public affairs and communications components of Bumess’ responsibilities. Michael Palmer, director of the Office of Community Affairs and the day-to-day manager of the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership, will support needs in community relations and local government.

Assistant Vice President Nan Nixon and Associate Vice President Paul Vick will continue to support Duke’s programs in Washington, D.C. and Raleigh on the federal and state relations front.

Court sentences equipment thieves

Three former students were punished for stealing $lOO,OOO in electronics From staff and wire reports Two former Duke students and one University of Maryland at College Park student were sentenced Friday for their roles in stealing more than $16,000 worth of audiovisual equipment and computers from the University last March and April, according to The Herald-Sun of Durham.

Charles Jeremy Kelley, 22, pleaded guilty in Durham County Superior Court

to five counts of misdemeanor larceny and one count of felonious larceny. The former Duke student was given five back-to-back suspended jail sentences for the misdemeanors and a continued prayer for judgment on the felony offense, which would all be activated ifKelley commits another crime. He was also fined $5,000 and ordered to perform 300 hours of unpaid community service work.

Former Duke student Susan Webber Stone, 22, pleaded guilty to three counts of misdemeanor larceny and one count of felonious larceny, and given three back-to-back suspended jail sentences for the misdemeanors and a continued

prayer for judgment on the felony—a special ruling which basically means Stone will receive a lenient sentence, but that the crime could be taken into consideration for sentencing for a future conviction. Stone was also fined $3,000 and ordered to perform 250 hours of community service.

John Jay Alexander, 22 and a former Maryland student, pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor larceny and was given a 45-day suspended jail sentence.

He also was fined $l,OOO and ordered to work 200 hours.

All three students, who were expelled from their respective institutions, are also required to pay Duke $16,303.88 in restitution.

The items, which around the time of the thefts were estimated at over $lOO,OOO, included equipment from the Bryan Center’s Shaefer Theater and the newly constructed White Lecture Hall.

Video surveillance captured the students April 7 during the White Hall incident. Duke University Police Department officials said DUPD received many

phone calls the day The Chronicle printed pictures of the three suspects. The two Duke students, after interviews with DUPD officers, confessed to stealing the property and identified Alexander.

Some of the stolen equipment was being stored in Kelley’s and Alexan-

der’s rooms.

The thefts nearly caused the cancellation of at least one production in the Bryan Center. The stolen equipment was essential to Mao 11, a play that was set to premiere in Shaefer, and had to be replaced prior to the recovery of the equipment. Frank Lentricchia, professor of literature and the play’s dramaturg told The Chronicle inApril that the play’s crew had been working for two years on the produc-

tion’s music and fights, information about which were lost in the thefts.

“This equipment was totally essential to putting this show up. It is a very technical show, and there was sound and light work that had been inputted,” Lentricchia said. “A lot of people didn’t sleep and suffered real emotional damage with this.”

services.

Gen. John Handy, Air Force officer who is chief of the Transportation Command, said that since the military must rely on planes, trucks, rail cars and ships operated by private carriers, “We do everything we can to keep them well informed.”

Handy said that even classified reports from the U.S. intelligence community must be made available—at least in censored form—to the private sector.

NORTH KOREA from page 2 “The claim that we admitted developing nuclear weapons is an invention fabricated by the United States with sinister intentions,” said a North Korean newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, as quoted by the South Korean news agency Yonhap.

Such a program would violate a 1994 agreement in which the United States promised to provide energy supplies if North Korea froze its nuclear program.

In December, Washington halted oil shipments under the deal and experts said North Korea would soon be suffering the effects of severe energy shortages.

Declaring the 1994 agreement void, North Korea removed seals placed on one of its nuclear plants and expelled two inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency who were verifying the country’s compliance.

The agency, based in Vienna, Austria, now has the right to make a report

Part of his job, he said, is to make that happen quickly.

“Our request at my level is to keep pressing to share as much as we possibly can,” Handy said in an interview at

his headquarters.

In case of a full mobilization for war, more than 90 percent of the troops deploying would fly aboard private air carriers contracted by the military, officials say. Commercial rail and trucking companies would help in hauling armored vehicles, fuel and food to domestic ports.

As it carries out the fight against terrorism, President George W."Bush’s administration, responding to criticism of

intelligence failures before the Sept. 11 attacks, has consciously chipped away

of noncompliance to the U.N. Security Council, which could then impose sanctions on North Korea.

The north said such actions would amount to a “declaration of war.”

Employing an image common in North Korean threats, Rodong Sinmum said Sunday, “If the United States evades its responsibility and challenges us, we will turn the citadel of imperialists into a sea of fire.”

On Saturday, the north reported that one million people had rallied in the capital, Pyongyang, to support what it called “a life-and-death battle” against the country’s enemies. For its part, South Korea repeated Sunday that it was seeking a diplomatic resolution to the standoff.

“The government’s consistent position is that it will do its best to resolve the "North Korean nuclear issue peacefully through diplomacy,” said Yim Sung-joon, a South Korean national security adviser, who had just returned from a visit to Washington.

at a number of walls that previously separated domestic law enforcement, international intelligence gathering and the armed services.

The Transportation Command plans to establish the restricted-access Web site for 24-hour posting of new intelligence warnings that can be read by freight carriers and the airlines.

The issue is especially acute as tens of thousands of troops receive orders to deploy toward the Persian Gulf with their weapons and the fuel and munitions to sustain any offensive that President Bush might order against Iraq. Troop movements have accelerated in the past few days, and more are to come, according to Pentagon officials.

Statements of concern and calls for peaceful negotiations have come from around the world since North Korea’s announcements in the past two days.’

“It is important that North Korea be steadfastly worked upon to gain a peace-

ful solution,” Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi was quoted as saying on Sunday as he met with officials in Russia.

In an appearance on the ABC News program “This Week,” Richardson said he agreed with the Bush administration that it should not “engage in an immediate, direct dialogue at the time the North Koreans are talking about ‘holy wars.’ He said he expected “the next step to be at the United Nations, at a low level—some technical talks.”

Richardson, who the administration has said is not speaking for the US. government, also called for “a bilateral, nonaggression, binding pact that basically says the United States is ready to agree that North Korea is not going to be treated in an aggressive hostile action.” ”

SIG EP from page 1 cy that groups wanting to receive residential space would reside in Trent [Drive Hall] for two years, so Sig Ep started out with that. In the middle of that process, we got into the residential life review..,. Last year, when we were trying to relocate all the selective groups, which was already difficult, it just wasn’t a good time to bring them on then.”

Much of the impetus, Silver said, came from a committee chaired by Adams and Deb Loßiondo, assistant director of RLHS. The task force looked at creating a process by which new selective groups could apply for—or how old ones could apply for reinstatement of—on-campus housing.

“Sig Ep had been [on the table] prior to this,” Adams said. “Fm certainly thrilled they’re going to have housing.”

Adams added that the task force, which had planned to finish its report sometime in the fall, was still finalizing some of their new recommendations.

“I hope that Sig Ep could kind of be the model of how [selective groups receive housing] in the future,” Silver said.

When it was working to reestablish itself on campus in fall 1999, Sig Ep fraternity members said the new chapter would not resemble its rowdier ancestors, which lost housing privileges in 1993 due to University violations. The fraternity’s new focus emphasizes a “balanced man” approach that eliminates the pledge process in favor of stressing academics, leadership, community service and athletics.

Sig Ep returned as an IFC member in 2000 and received a national charter in spring 2001 for North Carolina’s Gamma chapter. Last fall, the Interfraternity Council elected non-residential fraternity Chi Psi to its membership, even as the council saw its member organizations fall by three in the past three years as Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Sigma fraternities either lost their housing or dissolved themselves under pressure from nationals.

Tm pretty happy about [Sig Ep’s housing!,” said IFC President Jeremy Morgan, a senior. “It’s something we’ve been trying to help Sig Ep with for over a

Sig Ep is the first greek group to receive on-campus housing in 10 years. year. Last year, it didn’t happen because of all of the housing changes to West. But it’s happened this year... and we’re looking forward to having another group [on campus].”

In March 1993, the SPEs—as members of the old chapter were known—were found guilty by the Undergraduate Judicial Board of property damage and

disorderly conduct. The fraternity’s record at that time—which consisted of six UJB administrative panel hearings in the previous three and a half years—led the UJB to impose social suspension and

issue its second suspended recommendation to dissolve the living group.

The fraternity was ultimately dissolved eight months later when a November UJB hearing found the fraternity, as well as a few individual members, guilty of disorderly conduct following a brawl that started at a Sig Ep party.

Duke’s Sig Ep chapter is one of 260 chapters nationwide. The fraternity, which was founded in 1901 and first founded a chapter at Duke in 1909, has a na-

tional membership of 220,000.

Women’s basketball prepares for Ramblin’ Wreck After squeaking by unranked Virginia 60-59 Thursday, Blue Devils look to reassert dominance

By MATT SULLIVAN

DUKE

The Chronicle

Until a statement ACC win by the men’s basketball team last night at

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke’s two No. 1-ranked teams had had a shakier grasp on the top of the polls than a couple of hands on cocktail glasses for happy hour at a retirement home.

The women’s team has continued to be rickety in conference play thus far, with only Alana Beard’s gargantuan performance against Virginia Thursday keeping their record clean. The Blue Devils (14-0, 2-0 in the ACC) head to Atlanta tonight to take on Georgia Tech (11-3, 02) for a chance to stabilize things at the top of the nation, let alone the conference.

“We’re going to have to do a much better job to be successful in Atlanta,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said after her team escaped with a controversial 60-59 win over the Cavaliers. “I’m worried about everybody in the ACC.” And though after crushing their opponents over winter break Duke seemed to be the ones inducing fear into opponents, the Blue Devils have looked like nothing more than a low-scoring, one-woman team of late.

“I knew I needed to take over at a certain point,” Beard said. “If I make something happen my team will step up. But if my teammates don’t play well, it’s not a

Ie Bass, who broke into the starting lineup over the break as Goestenkors turned to a bigger lineup, will be responsible for neutralizing the brutally physical Mallory, if she can stay out of foul trouble.

And after scoring well below their season average in ACC play thus far, Duke will need to give more than an unsteady helping hand to Alana Beard to avoid any more trouble than that.

The Chronicle

Last man standing: Duke downs WAKE from The Chronicle page 1 one long nightmare for previously unbeaten Wake Forest (10-1, 0-1 in the ACC), as Duke (11-0, 2-0) opened the half with a 31-13 run on its way to decimating its conference foe. Dahntay Jones scored 15 points in an eight-minute stretch, and the Deacons had no answer.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski offered no definitive explanation for his squad’s dominant performance in what many expected to be a difficult test, pointing only to his team’s general offensive explosiveness, especially the perimeter quartet of Duhon, Jones, J. J. Redick and Daniel Ewing.

“It just kind of happens, really, and being at home helps,” he said. “We really executed well offensively in the second half. When we have those four perimeter guys in there they can make plays for one another and they all can score.... It becomes a very tough team to defend.”

Duke’s fifth weapon Sunday night was 6foot-10 power forward Shavlik Randolph. The freshman, whom Krzyzewski declared delivered the best performance of his young career, finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and two impressive blocks, and was excited to contribute to a Blue Devil blowout.

“I remember watching so many games where Duke would just absolutely go on one of their runs and destroy a team and I have not been a part ofthat yet except for tonight,” Randolph said. “That little series where Dahntay just hit so many three’s in a row to put the game out of reach—l knew I was, at that moment, a part of the famous ‘Duke run.’”

For his part, Jones looked like two different players Sunday night. The senior struggled in the first half, scoring just a single point while going O-for-6 from the field, including a couple of unimpressive misses. He absolutely took over after halftime, however, making all three of this attempts from behind the arc and two mid-range jumpers in a game-clinching eight-

minute burst.

Although appearing a bit out of control in an awkward-looking first half display, Jones denied making a halftime adjustment regarding his focus or attitude.

“In the first half I was taking shots that were available,” Jones said. “In the second half I took the same shots—things started going down and then there’s a different outcome. I don’t think I was pressing in the first half. I don’t think I had too much energy.”

Krzyzewski said that he and his assistants went into the locker room at halftime without a specific message to the seemingly out-of-sorts Jones. He expected his enthusiastic leader to keep shooting and driving with confidence.

“When you’re playing good players, good players are going to stop you,” Krzyzewski said. “What you can’t do is stop yourself and that’s a maturity that Dahntay showed tonight. He continued to play his game and his second half was really good.”

With Jones struggling during the first 20

minutes, Duhon delivered his best offensive

performance in a month. Despite battling laryngitis, which rendered the junior mostly speechless both during and after the game, he finished with 14 points, his first game in double-digits since a Dec. 7 victory over Michigan, including his decisive three-point baskets during Duke’s 10-0 run to close out the first half. He also dished out nine assists against a lone turnover.

“Duhon was spectacular again tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s been concentrating so much on just leading us and making sure everyone else is okay that his shooting isn’t where it will be. That’s just a period of adjustment.”

Duhon’s three-point barrage propelled the Blue Devils during the game-deciding spurt.

With Wake Forest placing defensive clamps on

Duke for most of the first half, it appeared as though they would leave the floor gridlocked with the nation’s top-ranked team. The Blue

Devils exploded, however, and then played stifling defense of their own, and the Demon Deacons found themselves facing what proved to be an insurmountable deficit.

“We came to a hurdle at that point,” Randolph said. “Coach told us that this can be a time where we can separate ourselves a little bit and go into halftime with somewhat of a lead and that’s what we did.”

MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 2003 �PAGE 5

e, becomes only unbeaten team Playing with his usual fiery emotion, senior swingman Dahntay Jones provided the defensive catalyst Duke needed, shutting down and frustrating Wake Forest star Josh Howard.

In last night’s battle of the unblemished, the best play of the game came with 14:38 left in the second half, as Josh Howard prohis body high above a pack of Duke rebounders, letting his filed legs, lag behind his torso, hanging in the air for an extra moment before letting loose a thunderous attack on the rim disguised as a putback. Hts face raged with emotion, yet Sunday night’s game was not a tale of flashy plays or the flair of Howard. Instead, it was a game about persistence, hard work around the basket, and toughness.

“Our kids played an outstanding game,” said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. “They have a really good offense, it required a lot of switching and a lot of talking.”

It was a game where Duke, facing a team with an incredible plus-14.2 rebounding advantage—tops in the ACC—made an incredible defensive effort, forcing 18 turnovers that it converted into 31 points.

It was a game where Shavlik Randolph, stepping in for the foul-troubled Shelden Williams, provided solid defense and calm scoring, a performance that would lead Krzyzewski to proclaim it the freshman’s best game of the season.

It was a game of solid contributions, of J.J. Vernon Redick garnering six smart rebounds, of (omm,ar > Casey Sanders blocking shots, and of Nick Horvath providing the things that don’t find their way into a stats sheet.

Yet, most importantly, it was a game offire. Pure, flat out, chestthumping, face-distorting, jumping-up-and-down-during-timeouts, defensive ferocity by the name of Jones.

It’s hard to criticize a player of Howard’s caliber and character.

The guy sets all the screens, follows the coach’s orders, provides a model for the team’s many younger players and shows a true respect for the game. He stripped Jones, amassed 14rebounds—seven of them on the offensive end—and probably stayed late after the game to sign autographs. Sure, he was 0-for-3 on threes, but it’s hard to criticize him for settling for the longball when he shoots an ACC-best .476 from behind the arc.

Yet the reason that no one will remember his second-half dunkof-the-week is that, by that point, his team was down 15, and, during key parts of the game, his offense was missing in action. As Duke went on a 10-0 run to end the first half, Howard took one shot, an unimaginative put-back attempt that was blocked easily by Randolph. At key moments in the opening of the second half, Howard was mostly content to receive the ball on the perimeter, take a few dribbles, and hand the ball off to his teammates.

On many plays in the decisive minutes of the game, Jones was a study in intensity, as he followed three-pointers with icy stares, displaying no shortage of emotion. On one play, he even nearly lost a cutting Howard as he stopped to raise his hands to the crowd.

By contrast, Howard’s athletic, 6-foot-6 frame suggested an acceptance of defeat, as he jogged listlessly down the court, head cocked back in resignation. While late in the game he began calling for the ball and intensified his rebounding and defensive efforts, it was too little, too late.

Howard is an impressive player. Yet, for someone who was picked in the preseason by Athlon to be the ACC’s top defensive player, he strangely let Redick and Ewing, guards with less athleticism, drive past him. However, it was Jones that really got the best of him Sunday night.

“I don’t know whether I like him or not,” Howard said quietly, when asked about Jones’ play. “You know, I heard he gets into a fight almost every game... He just does things on the court that I don’t like. The things that he does out there on the court, there’s no

wM

need for them.”

Yet, during key moments down the stretch Sunday night, Jones squared in against Howard, and Howard, in response, did not challenge Jones’ tenacity. Perhaps it was Jones’ aggression that deterred Wake Forest’s leading scorer.

Regardless, Duke players and coaches do not hesitate to offer praise of Howard—Krzyzewski said he thought he was one of the ten best players in the country.

“He still ended up with a nice night,” said Jones. “He’s still a great player. I didn’t have him solely by myself... it was a good defensive effort for us.”

In this case, Howard’s skill met with an impressive display of ferocious intensity, and, for the moment at least, Jones and Duke were victorious. However, Howard’s intensity returned towards the end of the contest, and should surely be there when the Blue Devils travel to Winston-Salem in a little more than a month. Perhaps then Howard will fightfire with fire, and then the two Tobacco Road teams will have a real matchup.

“When we got stood up on offense by the junk defense we stopped guarding. I can understand it taking some time to get used to, but that’s just inexcusable.”

Trio of undefeateds help Blue Devils turn out mixed Duke grapple to Ist win results in Ist indoor meet

Blue Devils also fall to Citadel, E. Stroudsburg Distances, poll vault shine; sprints struggles

By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

25 The wrestling team dropped its two iniF&JM 19 tial matches Saturday at the North Carolina State Duals, but earned the season’s first victory with a convincing win in the day’s third and final meet.

The Blue Devils’ top individual performances came from the team’s upperclassmen. Senior Tom Cass and juniors Adam Benitez and Mike Mitchell each swept their three matches, while senior Tommy Hoang also impressed, going 2-1 on the day.

Saturday’s third match was another close contest but, for the first time this Duke

season, Duke came out on top beating Franklin & Mitchell 25-19.

Benitez, Cass and Mitchell each closed out the day undefeated, while Hoang earned his second win, pinning his opponent, Will Filbert, in a lightning quick 50 seconds.

Juniors Tim Marcantonio and An-

drew Herbert all logged victories.

“I was especially impressed with Tom Cass’ wrestling Saturday,” Mitchell said. “He was really tough and really technical.”

The competition’s first match, which pitted Duke against The Citadel, was the low point of the day for the Blue Devils. With the team’s only wins coming from the weekend

perfect trio, the Bulldogs drubbed Duke, 26-10. Mitchell, last week’s wrestler of the week in the ACC, continued to dominate the 165-pound weight class, walking away with a major decision over The Citadel’s James Rose.

“Mike Mitchell is the backbone for us,” Benitez said. “He’s the constant.”

The second match was a closer loss, with the Blue Devils falling to East Stroudsburg, 19-15. In this match the trio was joined by Hoang and Ben Balmages, who also earned victories over

their Bulldog counterparts.

“Our heads just got more and more into it,” said Benitez. “The second match had been really close, and that

motivated us.”

Despite the fart that neither picked up a win, the Blue Devils received quality performances from sophomore Roy Williams and freshman Brandon Foose.

In the second match against East Stroudsburg, both came within two points of winning—matches that would have given the Blue Devils a victory.

“I thought they did real well,” Benitez said. “For Foose to stay in those matches and never let it get away from him is really impressive, especially for a freshman.”

The wrestling team gets some time off before heading to Boise Creek for its next competition, a dual meet against Gardner-Webb Jan. 22.

Graduate Student Needed

By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

The men’s and women’s track and field teams started their indoor season with strong , performances in the North Carolina Collegiate Big 12 meet Saturday in Chapel Hill.

The Blue Devil poll vaulter and middle distance runners, in particular, dominated their competitions.

The meet which included all 12 Division I schools in the state of North Carolina, was scored on only an individual basis, without an overall team winner.

“We did a remarkable job and it was an encouraging way to start the season,” men’s head coach Norm Ogilvie said.

Women’s pole vaulter Laura Chen placed third vaulting 3.60 meters; on the men’s side, Brent Warner placed second, clearing the bar at 4.90 meters.

Both qualified for ECAC and IC4A Championships in May and had the best vaults of the ACC competitors in their respective events.

“Warner had the performance of the day,” Ogilvie said. “It bodes well for a shot at 17 feet this season.”

Another positive for the Blue Devils was their their depth in the men’s 800meters, racking up second, fourth and fifth place finishes.

Junior Jon Amt, who came in second, was the top competitor in a Duke uniform, posting a time of 1:55.84.

“Jon had a great early season show-

ing,” Ogilvie said. “He is in shape to have his best season ever.”

Two Duke freshmen, Keith Rand and Charles Salmen, took the top two honors in the 500-meter—their debut collegiate indoor event.

“I was really happy with the run,” Rand said. “It was a great way to start my career and hopefully it bodes well for the rest of the season.”

Also placing in the distances for Duke was its mile runners. On the men’s side Casey Reardon (4:20.84) and Cameron Bell (4:25.57) took home third and fifth, respectively, while Lauren Matic of the women’s team placed second with a time of 5:05.51.

Women’s hurdler Allison Nesbitt had a fifth place performance in the 60 meter hurdles with an 8.85 time in finals. Nesbitt posted the second best time in Duke history with a 8.87 time in her preliminary heat.

On the other hand, the Blue Devils struggled in the sprints, failing to qualify a single athlete for the final heat.

Similar problems occured in the field events, save pole vault, where Duke failed to rack up a place.

The poll vaulters will be back in action next Friday at the Pole Vault Summit and the team as a whole will compete Jan. 17 and 18 at the Virginia

Tech Invitational.

“It was exciting and the team had a great performance,” Rand said.

will feature the students who protested in Washington, D.C.

Whitney Dow, one of the documentary’s directors, in a statement. Both Dow and the film’s other director, Marco Williams, will hold a discussion following the screening.

For the 14th Annual Service of Cele-

bration of Commemoration, scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 20, Harvard University Law School professor Lani Guilder will deliver the keynote address. Guilder—who gained national attention in 1993 follow-

ing a controversial presidential nomination that was later rescinded—was chosen by the committee for her work on law and race that embodies the King vision.

She will discuss differing views on race, racism and affirmative action.

“I hope the audience is prompted to think and question the fundamental assumptions or familiar presumptions,” wrote Guinier in an e-mail, “and to become curious about what each of us might do to generate a cross-racial coalition that shares power and commits to making a genuine democracy and equality of opportunity a reality and not just an abstraction.”

Several panel discussions will be held during the celebration, one of which, entitled “Globalization and War,”

The Cultural Extravaganza, an annual commemoration event, will continue this year in Page Auditorium with contributions from student groups including Dance Black, Local Color, Sapphire, United in Praise and Sabrosura, as well as several solo musical performances.

“This year is probably the largest extravaganza so far, based on the number and variety of the performances,” said senior Thaniyyah Ahmad, a committee member and Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction. “We hope to get the students out, instead of sleeping in, and come join in the activities... both to enjoy themselves as well as enlighten themselves.”

This year’s celebration will showcase not only the favorite annual events, but also contributions from several sectors of the University that previously have not participated. The Medical Center will hold a vigil for the first time, and employees will perform a musical entitled The Country Church. The Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences will also participate for the first time.

Jennings said this is a change that embodies a goal of the committee to “create as great a reality of participation of the common life of Duke as possible.”

The Chronicle

PAGE 14�MONDAY,JANUARY 13, 2003

The Chronicle isi Giving new life

In

a move that should serve as a wake-up call to the nation, outgoing Illinois governor George Ryan commuted the sentences of all 156 of the state’s death row inmates. His successor, Rod Blagojevich, has been critical of a move so near the end of Ryan’s term, but his action should be commended as courageous.

At the end of the 19905, Ryan recognized that the death penalty system in Illinois was grossly unjust and addressed the problem by imposing a moratorium on the implementation of the penalty in the state. Now, Ryan has made that temporary moratorium effectively permanent through his act of mercy, saving lives from needless slaughter at the hands of the state.

In some ways, the death penalty is a relic of an earlier time, especially since the United States remains the only Western democracy in which capital punishment is still carried out. Although on a superficial level capital punishment’s eye-for-an-eye style retribution might seem just, in truth the state exacting vengeance on one of its citizens reeks of barbarism and megalomania on the part of the government, which falsely believes that it can and should make life-and-death decisions for its citizens. Opposition to capital punishment begins with the idea that the state is fallible and inefficient. It is extremely difficult to trust the government to fairly and efficiently carry out the death penalty, and statistics show that the government has done neither ofthese things over the time since the death penalty was reinstated in 1973.

One large problem with capital punishment as it currently stands is its inequitable application: Poor, minority males are sentenced disproportionately to death, indicating a serious flaw in the system since this punishment is not meted out equally to all criminals regardless of their race, sex or socioeconomic class. Another significant problem is that because of the huge time-lag between the issuance of a death sentence and the actual execution, capital punishment does not deter crime.

The United States is founded on the ideal that individuals have the right to life, which capital punishment denies. Although the government certainly does have some power to revoke its citizens’ rights for the greater good (such as by imprisoning criminals) and has the power to wage war, which often results in death, when there are viable alternatives to death, the government should take them. Life imprisonment—assuming this punishment truly means for life —can forever remove a murderer from society, immunizing the threat he or she presents, but without the threat of government tyranny through vicious capital punishment or the risk of innocents being executed.

Although Ryan’s political career is now over, 150 lives have been saved by his action. Other states and the federal government need to reexamine their death penalty practices and hopefully take steps to eliminate this institution. Locally, the Durham County Board of Commissions has urged the General Assembly to institute a statewide moratorium on executions, and Gov. Mike Easley should listen to opponents of capital punishment. Ryan deserves praise for this action, which will hopefully remind America of the primary importance of life, something too sacred to allow a government to take away.

Letters to

the editor

Wealth accumulation should be considered a virtue Emily LaDue writes that we should value “equal opportunity, and environmental respect over exorbitant wealth.” I do not. Nothing in the world is more sacred than exorbitant wealth. Vast sums of money are accrued through effort, thought and production. Opposing wealth means opposing work and creation, the means by which man lives. Exorbitant wealth gives us all something to aspire to, and in many instances, jobs.

view that as affluent students—mostly—we owe some debt of sacrifice to the “community.” Nonsense. Being affluent is no crime, no blemish of guilt; It is earned. As such, the rich ought to be proud, not ashamed. They are generators; the community is in their debt for the businesses they operate and the jobs they provide. If the “general good” is

the aim, the “community” would be more logical in serving them. As far as the envi-

ronment is concerned, people seeking to create exorbitant wealth are those who make the environment habitable, by

building houses. Moreover, equal opportunity is not something that may be achieved by robbing the productive rich.

Anyone who lives has an equal opportunity—at life, which must be secured through individual action, rather than by guzzling the blood of the industrious. I say to the wealthy students of Duke: Consume and be proud, your families have achieved; what you have is yours and not a soul on earth has any right to claim it.

Columnist’s response to stuttering an inspiration As a lifelong stutterer myself, I know what Nick Christie means... stuttering blows. I can confirm many of the feelings that Christie expressed in his column, such as trepidation, embarrassment and isolation. I have also never found a magic bullet therapy to make me completely fluent.

Statistically, only about one percent of the population at large stutters, but at Duke, the

percentages are probably much lower. Imagine being the only person who can’t draw in a world full of artists; that’s what it feels like to stutter at a place like Duke.

Whether stuttering is a disability is a good question: On

one hand, stutterers cannot, due to neurological and physical reasons, perform a task that the vast majority of other people perform easily. On the other hand, it is not appropriate for society to make similar

accommodations for stutterers as for people with other kinds of physical disabilities.

However, as Christie suggests, the question isn’t really that important. The important thing for stutterers isn’t to be fluent speakers, but rather to have fulfilling personal and professional fives despite our dysfluencies.

I applaud Christie for not letting his stuttering prevent him from being a reporter,

asking questions at press conferences or even justtalking a lot to his friends. Sometimes it’s okay to reflect on and feel bad about the unfortunate circumstances of our lives, but the important thing is to

not let these circumstances dictate our activities or prevent us from doing things we enjoy. I was inspired

by

Christie’s approach to dealing with his speech impediment.

Even though life has dealt stutterers some difficult cards, the important thing, as Bob Dylan said, is to keep on keepin’ on.

Commentary

The Chronicle

Gone are the days in which the radical left was interesting. In fact, I’m not even sure if there is a radical left anymore, pre-

cisely because that would entail having something radical to say. What possibility remains to shock those cosmopolitan enough to feel at home on a campus like Duke’s? A lot of people may disagree with the agendas of homosexual marriage, abortion, affirmative action, anar- flj cho-syndicalism, animal B rights, equalizing wealth «| distribution, gun control, bP minority exceptionalism

i

and radical democracy, tvh 0111 but few, if any, really find English these ideas shocking or dangerous. And why The Critical Theory should they? None, we assume, will have the power in the near future to revolutionize society overnight, some look good on paper, and in the meantime they serve as nutty amusement for those who know better. Interestingly, the only ideas that now rile people up on campus are generally conservative ones, like the peculiar thoughts that reparations are racist, abortion is murder and homosexual relations are perverse. A recent event highlighted the extent ofthis transformation and succeeded in scaring the hell out of me. I didn’t think it could happen, at least not the way it did. A year ago it seemed impossible. But alas, it did happen: I listened to the worst lecture I have ever heard at Duke, for the second time.

What’s worse—it didn’t sound that awful.

First some history: I became an RA second semester sophomore year. I have enjoyed being an RA and think I have contributed a great deal to the residential life of many students. However, my first day on the job two years ago, namely winter training, led me to believe I had made a mistake. We were subjected to a daylong diversity talk. The speaker spent one whole sentimental hour discussing her own coming out story, berated those who opposed gay marriage, equated the pro-life

.The unradical left position with intolerance and explained all the unjust privileges of being a white Christian man. It ended with (I am not kidding) a long puppet show to enlighten us on the difference of perspectives. Keep in mind the lesbian puppet show lady, as she was not so fondly remembered by some of the RA staff, was there for the purpose of training us as residential advisors.

Since that event I have kept a running fist of the worst lectures I have seen on campus. Last year, I received an RA Gold Credit for listening to a speech by one Becky Thompson in the Maiy Lou Williams Center for black culture. Though she described Duke as being “in the midst of a racial apartheid” and called our admissions department a “bastion of white supremacy,” she didn’t quite have a level of sanctimony to compare with the puppet show lady. Last year’s anti-war rally hosted by Fred Jameson, which featured, among other things, a goth-looking speaker complete with dark makeup and Jishnet stockings as well as an audience that looked like it was preparing for Halloween, was out there, but funny. One paper that interpreted the actions of GeorgeBush through the heuristic device of Madonna’s music videos was particularly creative. I got there too late to see Jameson’s speech, so I’m sure I missed

for her values, which were called facts), and implicitly condemned the “values” ofmany in the audience, the talk flowed like a stand up comedy routine. One girl in the audience, very insightfully, pointed out that if the administration took everything we were told seriously, it never would let people like David Horowitz step foot on campus. Time ran out, however, before we could explore the consequences ofintolerance in the name of tolerance. It was a token diversity talk, and while myself and others disagreed with much that was said, it wasn’t that painful.

While I agree with fellow columnist Kevin Ogorzalek’s contention last week that tolerance of conservative thought is a “masquerade” at Duke, his advice for those

who dissent from liberal orthodoxy—“Let’s enjoy these views, debate substantively, but not carry on about the University being liberal”—sells us short of a decent education.

This begs the question, for it presumes that being a leftist bastion is the nature of a University—that even ifwe see through the bulls—, we can’t expect much more.

The moment that token, leftist diversity

talks become comfortable for everyone, regardless of contrary belief, is the moment that the capacity for critical thought has ceased. It suggests that there is no important relation between the events the University sponsors and the education we receive here, and, moreover, that ideas do not have consequences. Conservative is what you call people who want to protect their own money or privilege, and liberal names truly free thinking individuals, even if sometimes misguided. Thus liberal education means being educated by liberals.

However, we should reject this formulation not only because it is wrong, but also because the left has become boring. The only profound and interesting question left to ask these days is whether the guiding premises of liberal ideology that pervade much of what we do on campus are, themselves, mistaken. Our ability to come to terms with this radical thought, would signal the beginning of a liberating education.

the best part. Fred Jameson did greet me once at another lecture, at which he asked the speaker a question and promptly exited.

There have been other gems out there, but nothing ever really seemed more inappropriate and ridiculously shallow than the lesbian puppet show lady.

When she returned this year and gave much the same talk to the RA staff (alas, this time minus the puppet show and the abortion comments), it didn’t, and this is the scary part, sound that bad. Sure, it was five hours of shallow platitudes about different perspectives, and every attempt to challenge contradictory statements was deflected as a misguided effort to get intellectual when we really had to be concerned about the heart. Though it relegated all belief to personal ‘Value judgments” (except

THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE returns As with everyone else, tons of different emotions confront THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE upon coining back to Duke from Winter Break Instead of grappling with these feelings, though, I am completely ignoring them.

Each winter break has a defining moment for the entire Duke student body, such as last year’s Matt Christensen three-point-play to beat Kentucky in overtime. That was an event everyone could get into, no matter how disparate their economic backgrounds or ZIP codes. This HUXTABLE’S year, it was the Carson Daly-hosted PROTEGE “New Year’s Eve Pajama Party” on Momt.,, Monk, MTV. Wait, no it wasn’t.

A common connection can be found, though, in the season’s blockbuster films. While the latest entry in the nine-hours-of-film-consisting-almost-entirely-of-whitemale-actors series, The Two Towers, was critically lauded, the biggest film news of the break was the reappearance of Leonardo DiCaprio. No longer will he be known simply as that guy who did The Beach back in 2000. He can also add Catch Me If You Can to his credits, which could be Steven Spielberg’s best movie since Hook, as well as Gangs of New York, a film that makes up for its historical inaccuracies by not having a Celine Dion song.

It is generally thought that there are some actors that can carry entire movies. Maid in Manhattan tests the theory that there are some a-es that can carry entire movies. Unfortunately, director Wayne Wang simply did not include enough shots of star Ralph Fiennes’s behind to make this film work. Instead, he spent way too much time on the questionably talented Jennifer Lopez, with the thought, “This movie may ”

suck but at least my name is Wayne Wang; that pretty much makes me really cool no matter what.”

As far as Lopez, her bid to have a number one movie, in Maid in Manhattan, and a number one album, in This Is Me... Then, simultaneously, was unsuccessful, due to the unfortunate bad luck of her not really having very much ability in either field. To her credit, though, This is Me... Then has a much better title than her previous effort, J to tha L-O, which might be the worst name of any work of art in the history of time. Except for maybe Caravaggio’s Boy With Basket of Fruit or Van Halen’s opus OUBI2.

An entity that has been successful in topping two charts at once, though, in a pun-less but still wretched segue, is the Duke basketball program. Duke currently has the number one men’s basketball team and the number one women’s basketball team in the country. Virginia is the latest team to lose to the Duke women, on Thursday, but they did manage to hold Alana Beard to 41 points. Way to go.

Either way, the men are 11-0 and the women are

14-0, which means that, even though they have already combined to play 14 more games than our warriors on the gridiron, the ratio of losses by the football program this year to losses by the basketball program is 10 to 0, which comes out to, well, about infinity. Actually, I can’t even think of a number that big. Maybe that explains why people give much more support to basketball than football here. Unless the causal effect works the other way. I’ll have to ask Ross Ulmer about that one.

Anyway, the biggest issue to deal with upon returning from break is the übiquitous question of “How was your break.” Speechless, you stumble for some sort of quick answer that will kill this dull conversation through euthanasia. The upperclassmen have the edge here, having honed their intellects on the old evaluation forms that

to Duke

asked students to pick “one word” to describe the class they have just completed. With those skills, you can pick a quick response to the break question such as “orange” or “limber” that will leave the asker befuddled enough to stop asking you dumb questions (actually, the most common response to that question in the course evaluations was “crossword puzzle,” which resulted in that question not being renewed with the new forms) (it’s two words).

Unfortunately, some will persist with the second question of “What did you do?” Here, the competition in the interrogation is quite transparent, so the pressure is on to come up with something exciting. Even if the actual answer is, “hung out with two of my high school friends,” you’re best contriving something more eventful, so you don’t seem like a schmuck. Call upon a muse, Sy-(Snootles)-and-theRamblin-(Root-Beer)-Gnome or otherwise, to come up with something really exciting, such as, “I went to Sierra Leone to fight in their civil war,” or, “I bought some automobiles.”

Another semesterly part of college fife is the buying of textbooks. While waiting in fine at the bookstore just to shell out 375 bones for some class materials can be stressful, fortunately the kind chaps in the basement have sought to relieve your stress by playing The Best Hits of 1999 on constant repeat. I really settle down when the Britney Spears release “Crazy” is followed by the ditty “How Bizarre” by New Zealand hitmakers CMC. Well, I guess they gotta compete with the Phil Collins pumping out of the Armadillo Grill just a few yards away.

THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE would like to emphasize that, despite the pre-calculus calculated above,

he/she, as a huge and endless supporter of the football team, has never missed a home game in his/her Duke career, nor will this ever occur, nor has he /she ever used a fake name to gank a free T-shirt offthe credit card people.
