Off-campus frats draw rushees Administrators discourage joining recently dissolved fraternities

Even though Delta Phi Alpha and Eta Prime are off-campus fraternities this year, leaders said the groups are up to the challenge of recruiting a pledge class—and they have the numbers to prove it.

concerns,

Delta Phi Alpha and Eta Prime—formerly Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Sigma fraternities, respectively—are conducting recruitment as they have done previously and are following a schedule similar to that of on-campus fraternities in the Interfraternity Council.

Members of the off-campus fra-

ternities said the current number of potential new members is similar to the number that rushed their groups in the past.

“We’re observing the shorter rush period.... We want to make things as comfortable and as easy as possible for the freshmen themselves,” said Mark Boyd, president ofEta Prime. “It’s not fair to be demanding bids back before the IFC

Late 2nd-half run sparks Duke win � The Blue Devils sent the Cavaliers home empty-handed as JJ. Redick set a career high and a freshman school record with 34 points, and Dahntay Jones added 23.

ByNEELUMJESTE The Chronicle

Four and a half minutes into last Duke 1 04 night’s game, J.J. Redick sank a three93 point jumper to set off an unstoppable Virginia shooting spree. Add to Redick’s fire the best free throw shooting Duke has seen of late, and there lies the answer to No. 1 Duke’s (12-0, 3-0) 104-93 victory over Virginia (10-4, 1-2).

Redick was four-for-four shooting from beyond the arc in the first half, and his first three-point miss came with only 2:49 left in regulation. The 6-foot-4 guard set a freshman school record, surpassing Johnny Dawkins, with 34 points against his native state. “[ln the first half] we kind of got into a lull offensively, and I kind of got hot,” the Roanoke, Va. native said. “I wanted the ball. [ln the second half], they went to their matchup zone, and they were matching up pretty well out of it. We were still scoring points—guys were taking advantage of them putting so much pressure on me.”

With Duke down 22-17 midway through the first half, Redick made a layup to bring the Blue Devils within three. Just twenty seconds later, he cut across the lane, caught a pass from Chris Duhon off a Shavlik Randolph block, and nailed a long-range three. His biggest play of the game came with about four minutes remaining in the game. Redick doubled Duke’s lead with a three-point play and the Blue Devils never led by fewer than six points for the rest of the game.

Bush condemns admissions ‘quotas’ Administration plans to file brief opposing affirmative action in admissions

By NEIL LEWIS

New York Times News Service

core, the Michigan policies amount to a quota system that unfairly rewards or penalizes prospective students

President WASHINGTON George W. Bush offered a sweeping denunciation of direct preferences for racial minorities in university admissions Wednesday and said his administration would file a brief with the Supreme Court urging that the affirmative action admissions policies at the University of Michigan be de-

based solely on their race.”

In putting himself on the side of three white students who assert they were denied admission to the undergraduate and law programs in favor of less qualified minority candidates, Bush moved to the front lines of the

clared unconstitutional.

“I strongly support diversity of all kinds, including racial diversity in higher education,” Bush said in a nationally televised address. “But the method used by the University of Michigan to achieve this important goal is fundamentally flawed. At their

tive action programs.

The president said that while he believed there should be away to ensure more minority students in the nation’s universities, programs like the ones at Michigan “create another wrong and thus perpetuate our divisions.” Such programs, he said, “are

nation’s heated debate about affirma-

divisive, unfair and impossible to square with our Constitution.”

In a sign of the careful political calibration of his words, Bush repeatedly used the term “quotas” to describe Michigan’s admissions policy, a word that draws strong opposition in polls.

The decision by the president to intervene in the case was significant in itself. The administration is not a party to the Michigan fight and was not obliged to take a position.

Shortly after the president spoke, a senior White House official involved in drafting the brief, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told reporters the legal pleading would be “very narrowly tailored” to address only the Michigan programs.

U.S. resists calls for 2nd vote on Iraq war

By DAVID SANGER and RICHARD STEVENSON New York Times News Service

The Bush administration ignored WASHINGTON calls by other nations on Wednesday that it rule out a war with Iraq without first securing the explicit blessing of the U.N. Security Council, and suggested that it could decide in favor of military action even if weapons inspectors did not turn up concrete new evidence against Saddam Hussein.

A day after President George W Bush warned that “time is running out” on Saddam, a senior administration official said the, timetable for a decision about war would be “driven by events.” Those include a report to be submitted by the U.N. weapons inspectors Jan. 27 and evidence that Saddam is truly complying with the U.N. demand that he give up any weapons of mass destruction.

In another sign of the growing frustration with what the

White House views as stalling and evasion by Iraq, the official said Saddam was intimidating his scientists into refusing to travel outside of Iraq for interviews about Baghdad’s weapons programs. Iraq has said publicly that none of its scientists want to go outside the country for interviews.

Clearly intent on not allowing the weapons inspections to continue for months without a decision on confronting Saddam, the administration said it would try to head off pressure from some nations to work according to a timetable established under a 1999 U.N. resolution that would require the inspectors to report again in late March.

The resolution adopted in November, No. 1441, “lays out a more intensive rhythm for inspections and a set of expectations meant to test Saddam Hussein’s readiness to disarm peacefully,” said the senior administration official.

“It is an immediate test.”

Edwards focuses presidential bid on ‘regular guy’

By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

When Sen. John Edwards comes to Durham Monday to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, he will do so not only as the newly-senior senator from North Carolina, but as a newly declared candidate for president as well.

Recent polls show that Edwards has gained ground in the 2004 Democratic presidential pack in the two weeks since he first announced an exploratory committee for the nomination.

The first-term Democrat—once named the nation’s sexiest politician by People Magazine—announced the committee’s creation Jan. 2 on The Today Show and reaped a blitz of favorable media attention as he promised to wage his campaign in the name of “regular people,” contrasting himself with President George W. Bush. In an interview with The Associated Press, the senator decried the Bush administration as run “by insiders and for insiders.”

“I believe I can be a champion for regular people. My own life experience allows me to see things through their eyes,” Edwards said. “They are the people I grew up with, the people who worked with my father in the mill, the people I fought for as a lawyer. They’re not the insiders, they don’t have lobbyists, but they’re the heart and soul of this country, and their voices should be heard.”

Duke political experts said Edwards’ personal story would lend credibility to that crusade.

Raised in Robbins, N.C., the son of a textile mill worker, Edwards graduated from North Carolina State University before earning his law degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“I don’t think he’s trying to come across as a regular guy,” said Michael Munger, professor and chair of political science. “He’s trying to appeal to the

regular guy.”

After law school, Edwards turned to a different kind of campaigning—winning jurors, not voters, as a personal injury lawyer. Piling up a personal fortune and newspaper headlines for the massive

His nascent campaign has focused on improving homeland security, reforming education, promoting a more multilateral foreign policy and stimulating economic growth. To boost homeland security, Edwards has called for the creation of a new domestic intelligence agency to take over the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s task of combating domestic terrorism. In a well-received address last fall, Edwards also proposed a “College for Everyone” plan that would make the first year of college at every public university free for students who could not otherwise afford it.

In an increasingly tight Democratic field that already includes outgoing Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont, former House Democratic leader and Missouri Congressman Dick Gephardt, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and the Rev. A1 Sharpton, experts have mixed views on whether such a fresh face could emerge from the primaries with the nomination.

Munger said Edwards’ liberal voting

DENNIS BRACK/BLACKSTAR PHOTOS

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS discusses his intentions to enter the presidential race with the media at a press conference last month. awards he won in court, Edwards became one of the top trial lawyers in the South—he won the state’s largest-ever verdict of $25 million in 1997.

But while experts believe Edwards’ ties to trial lawyers—one of the Democratic Party’s most deep-pocketed interest groups—will allow him to raise enough money for the 2004 race, those ties could backfire, especially in the midst of a debate over the possible excesses of medical malpractice suits. In a speech today, Bush is expected to renew a call on capping awards for suffering in such cases at $250,000. Last month, doctors went on strike in West Virginia, citing as too costly their insurance bills

for malpractice protection.

John Transue, assistant professor of political science, said that while Edwards could focus on individual cases of fighting for “regular people,” he should be wary of running for president as a trial lawyer.

“If I were him, I would not do that,” Transue said. “It’s going to depend on how he packages it.”

Edwards had never held public office before becoming a senator four years ago—he defeated Sen. Lauch Faircloth, a conservative Jesse Helms protege, in one of the 1998 midterm election’s most expensive and closely watched races.

Indeed, the fresh appeal that draws many supporters to Edwards may also hinder him at a time when voters may be more comfortable with a candidate

of greater experience, especially in foreign affairs.

“Saying, ‘I want to help the common person,’ works if you’re talking to a jury, but on a national level, you’ve got to say more than that,” Munger said.

To fight that image, Edwards, a member of the Senate’s intelligence committee, has worked to bolster his credentials with a series of detailed policy addresses.

E

record will help him in the primaries, where left-leaning voters and party activists have more influence than in the general election. In addition, as the only Southern candidate currently in the race—which could change in the event of a run by Sen. Bob Graham of Florida—he has the geographic edge in the vital South Carolina primary next February. Edwards is also hoping that Democratic voters remember that the only successful Democratic presidential campaigns in the last 30 years have been those of Southerners—Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Munger cautioned that Edwards’ lack of experience in public office, and particularly his perceived lack of expertise on foreign policy issues, could damage him.

Furthermore, Transue noted that regardless of which Democrat wins the nomination, an extended economic downturn could make Bush more vulnerable.

“The best [election] forecasting models always rely on the economy,” he said.

Duke Endowment gives S7OOK to NPI programs A $700,000 grant from The Duke Endowment will help the University increase programming at the Walltown Children’s Theater, open a health clinic in the new Lyon Park community center, continue affordable housing initiatives in Walltown and support efforts by Durham Public Schools to close the achievement gap.

The grant from the Endowment’s Children and Families Initiative brings to $2.5 million the amount that the Charlotte-based organization—which is separate from the University—has donated to the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership Initiative over the past five years.

About one-third of the grant will support projects designed to help improve the lives of children in low-income families in partner neighborhoods.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s demand for a nonviolent revolution against racism, poverty, militarism, and injustice worldwide helped galvanize an invigorated movement towards social justice . . . and it continues to inspire us today.

Brothers in Eta Prime and Delta Phi Alpha said they believe they can preserve their longevity and are cooperating to strengthen their organizations.

They decided to follow similar rush schedules, though they will host their events separately.

“We’re coordinating with [the former members of] SAE for the big nights. If they take Friday, we’ll take Saturday for financial reasons and not wanting to get the kids burned out,” Boyd said. “We consulted [the members of Delta Phi Alpha] pretty extensively before rush and established a schedule.”

volvement with the University. Both he and Komberg have requested Price’s presence at their classes before; his experience in government provides insight to students engaged in discussion or debate.

“He’s really committed to Duke,” said Munger, who has known Price since 1992. He added that the congressman’s heavy involvement with the University often surprises outsiders as well. “[Price] almost never says no—in fact, he’s never said no to any of my requests,” Komberg said. “If he’s in town, if he can make it, he’ll come.”

Professors also refer students to Price if they have questions or are looking for contacts.

Despite his continued interaction with Duke faculty and students, Price believes his greater contributions to the University lie in his accomplishments as an advocate for higher education—and that Duke is not the only institution that benefits from his acts in Congress.

creating a pledge class as an off-campus fraternity because its members decided to dissolve during rush last year. Under those circumstances, it attracted 21 freshmen to the group.

Brown said Delta Phi Alpha’s main goal during recruitment is to show freshmen the benefits of an off-campus fraternity and to allow them to decide if they want to join.

“We are hoping [the potential members] will see for themselves and see that it’s fun. They can do a lot more things off-campus. They’re just a closer group of guys,” Brown said. “We’re not trying to convince them that off-campus fraternities are in some way superior. We hope that they see that for

themselves.”

“I think that spending years in the academic life made me a more effective advocate for funding and legislation in that area,” he said.

Price admitted that he did not know if he will return to Duke or stay in office, though both remain possibilities. “Returning to the classroom is certainly an option.

I enjoyed teaching,” he explained, adding that his position on the House Appropriations and Budget committees keeps him productive and active in Congress. “[Price is] very smart, very reflective,” said professor of political science John Aldrich. He likened him to a minister—a fitting comparison, given Price’s Bachelor of Divinity degree from Yale.

Price, who was a Morehead Scholar while an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, even displays his suave political skills in regard to his alma mater and current employer.

“I cheer for both, and when they’re playing each other, I just try and keep my head down,” said Price, whose two children both attended Duke, in a neat avoidance of any loyalty claims. Smart man? Yes.

the Sex and the City actresses declared an end to their days of public nudity, theories exploded about what they will do next—write a book on the female orgasm, star in Annie, moonlight on Melrose Place.... But, alas, they already conquered the world, so they decided to think bigger—back to their own show's beginnings.

Let's face it: although SATC may have traded cheesecakes for cosmopolitans and dentures for Jimmy Choos, the show has always played like a raunchy rerun of The Golden Girls. If their careers have the post-show momentum of 90210, they still could

The Glow of Lee's NYC Calendar Spike

Lee loves his city, but unlike most of his fellow New York filmmakers, Lee has always refrained from over-exaggerating the positive attributes of it. Through his carefully restrained camera, New York City seethes both with love and rage; Spike understands better than anyone that his hometown's true charm lies in its gritty reality. As one of the first films to live and breathe in post-Sept. 11 New York, 25th Hour serves as a brilliant tribute to a surviving metropolis But this atmosphere of a broken city is only drop for Lee's compelling characters. His film: always drawn the big names, but never has a been more successful at setting a consistent! ing mood. Edward Norton took $500,000 (ins his normal going-rate of $7 million) for the lea of Monty Brogan, but as usual, his acting is p as he plays a drug dealer on his last night bef* to jail for seven years. Philip Seymour Hoffma, Barry Pepper also shine as Jacob Elinsky, a pn teacher with an obsessive crush on one of his students (Anna Paquin), and Francis Xavier Slaughters a ruthless Wall Street stockbroker.

These two are Monty's best friends, the guys he grew up with, and they are among the people whom Monty must make peace with before facing his prison sentence.

A K.T 5

Ed Norton's great talent for emotional intensity is on display as he visits his father (Brain Cox) at the bar he owns on Staten Island, and as he struggles with the possibility that his girlfriend, Naturelle Riviera (Rosario Dawson), was the one who ratted him out to the police. David Benioff's screenplay from his own novel is so remarkably reserved that the film's few climaxes GRADE: turn into moments of raw importance. The most notable outburst comes when Monty sees himself in a : rror, and as the frustration of his situ'S over him, he commences a tirade of every eth;ial group connected to New York City—from icers to Osama bin Laden, from black bailers to messmen.

Liotta Shines, NarcDoesn't Ray Liotta has one great moment among several fine ones in the new Joe Carnahan-directed Narc. A troubled, violent cop, he first meets his new partner Jason Patric at the precinct's GRADE: firing range. A hidden Liotta fires six shots through a paper target's head before turning to Patric and asking, "You wanna get some coffee?" Liotta's face in this moment—terrible and haunted and almost child-like —makes everything after it worthwhile. He is a heartbreaking monster, and we want so badly to be on his side.

Narc is about the rules of law enforcement, about justice and about the impossibility of achieving the latter without the former. Too bad Carnahan is not yet a great director. He undercuts his actors at critical junctures with unnecessary flashbacks. His script, though well written at many points, dismisses major characters out of hand, never allowing

them back. Most damning, the film's last third, a series of dull machinations hellbent on delivering a long-awaited revelation, has little going for it besides decibels and spittle. Nothing disheartens more than watching a director lobotomize his own characters for the sake of plot, and Narc makes its very smart policemen very, very stupid. Carnahan may one day direct something fantastic, but today see Narc for the aging werewolf that is Ray Liotta.

Startling Velocity From breaking point to breakthrough, Personal Velocity leaves most traces of sappiness behind as it tracks the progression of three young women—Delia, Greta and Paula (Kyra GRADE: Sedgewick, Parker Posey and Fairuza B Balk, respectively) —as they attempt to endure grave circumstances Director Rebecca Miller (daughter of playwright Arthur Miller) adapted the screenplay from three short stories she published several years ago and has cut up her film into three vignettes—each following a different character.

The harsh visual clarity of the scenes is due to the financial necessity of filming on Digital Video, keeping the picture slightly grainy and dull. What could have been perceived as a potential pitfall is transformed into a boon, as the technique seems more true-to-iife than the Technicolor brightness of most films—the rough, seemingly "uncut" scenes create a sharply private view into the characters' worlds with a piercing, almost documentary realism.

The enduring beauty of the film, however, lies in the great tie among the three otherwise unrelated women. Neither bogged down by pessimism nor overly cheerful. Velocity proves that each woman can find her own balance regardless of past transgressions —Allison Gianino

across the railroad tracks on Swift Avenue, the large white house almost hidden down West Pettigrew Street has been home to some of the finest documentary work in the country for over a decade.

Founded in 1989, Duke's Center for Documentary Studies has had a hand in everything from documentary photography and filmmaking to oral history, folklore and writing, all with an eye toward promoting education and change.

According to their website, the center supports "the active examination of contemporary society, the recognition of collaboration as central to documentary work, and the presentation of experiences that heighten our historical and cultural awareness." To help further its goal, the center offers academic courses available to both Duke students and community members, houses a gallery on its ground floor that routinely displays innovative documentary work, prints books through its own publishing program, sponsors research and fieldwork and presents

and international filmmakers CDS also involves itself in a host of community-based projects. The "Literacy Through Photography" program's goal is to help Durham Public School teachers and students integrate photography into their classrooms as a tool for observation and a catalyst for creative writing.

The center's "Document Durham" program also supports communitybased efforts toward education and exploration. "Behind the Veil" examines the lives of African-Americans in the South during the time of Jim Crow laws, and "Indivisible" is part of a nationwide effort to document grassroots social change.

Almost an afterthought around campus, but recognized elsewhere as one of the foremost institutions supporting the teaching and practice of documentary work, CDS is well worth the trek across the railroad tracks.

—Macy Parker

Jan. 10 March 30 The CDS Gallery will be displaying "Dream Street —W. Eugene Smith's Pittsburgh Photographs." This photo essay on 1950s Pittsburgh represents the work of one of the century's greatest documentary photographers. To complement the exhibition, the CDS is also displaying "Our Streets; Photographic Portraits of the Evolving Triangle," a photo essay inspired by Smith's work that features a variety of local photographs. The opening reception for this exhibition and a book signing of the companion book Dream Street will be held January 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. In addition a panel discussion on "The City as a Living Entity" will be presented Jan. 20 at 7 p.m., and March 5 at 7 p.m., photographers whose work is displayed in "Our Streets" will discuss their work. On March 26 at 7 p.m. "Dream Street" curator and writer Sam Stephenson presents "The Jazz Loft Tapes: W. Eugene Smith's Obsession with Music" to provide further insight into the man behind the lens.

If you want to start seeing the world in a frame, check out these wise words from Doctor Charles Thompson. In an interview with Senior Editor Faran Krentcil, the Head of Education at CDS dishes about community interaction, reality TV and why even you pre-med kids should check out the big white house on Pettigrew Street.

Recess: Most Duke students involved at CDS are only just starting to discover the field of documentary work. When did you get involved with it?

Doctor Thompson: In one way, I started back when I was a community organizer in the 1980s, before I decided to go back to school. My degree is in religious studies but I incorporated field work into my research —that's how we define what doc. studies is. If you go out and learn from experience in a community, then you're doing documentary work, particularly if you use some sort of technology like a tape recorder or a camera or a video camera to record experiences and to reinterpret them.

And what kinds of Duke students can go out into the community and do documentary field work?

All kinds of people —I like to say, "From anthropology to zoology"—who are interested in getting

out into the community can incorporate documentary skills.... We have a course, for example, called "Children and the Experience of Illness," that's probably very moving for people who are going into medicine because they're taking something that seems clinical and making it real. We have another course called "Documentary Approaches to Nature Studies," and it teaches students to take a camera and develop away to interpret information and bring it back to the community.

Duke undergraduates sometimes think of this place as its own planet. How do the courses at CDS help us burst the Duke bubble?

Well, we're a little bit off campus and across the tracks, and we are a little bit more accessible to the Durham community, so we like to think of ourselves as having one foot in the rest of the world.

We reach outside of the heart of Durham, too, and we have students going into other countries to do their work internationally after they graduate.... We have a program called the Hines Fellowship, named after Louis Hines, the famous documentary worker who exposed child labor practices, and it allows graduates to work on a project, usually relating to children, on an international level.

Most Recess readers are pretty film savvy.

Why should they come check out the film festi-

I'-Tv L«

vals at CDS instead of going to see Lord of the Rings for the fourth time?

I like to think that by watching a documentary film, you're glimpsing another person's real life for one day. There's still the filmmaker's creativity, and we do have an invisible script, whether we admit it or not —we all have an agenda, but I like to think of documentary work as letting the camera roll in a way that's not directing what happens, it's just following events.

We're never going to experience all that everyone else experiences, so a documentary film is really away to see through someone else's eyes and maybe gain a new understanding of how other people, or other cultures, organize their information and meaning.... And that can help us make sense of our own notions of meaning.

What's the difference between a good documentary film and a good episode of The Bachelor?

At the very basis, documentary work and reality TV are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Documentary work is about enhancing understanding between human beings, and reality TV is not only about pitting people against each other and looking at the worst of people, but it's also making that into a spectacle and a spectator sport. A large goal of documentary work is to create understanding, and not to laugh derisively at someone's faults or shortcomings, but to create bridges across cultures.

Besides attending events at the center, those interested in documentary work can enroll in academic classes sponsored by CDS. The center has sponsored a certificate program in documentary studies for continuing education students for several years, and it has since become known as one of the strongest of its kind.

Recently, CDS has also begun offering a similar certificate program to undergraduate students at Duke.

The undergraduate certificate consists of six classes: a survey course in documentary work, four approved elective courses and a capstone seminar in which students complete a documentary project and present it to the community. Elective courses for the certificate include classes in photography, oral history, internships in the "LiteracyThrough Photography" program, documentary writing and many other approved courses cross-listed with various Duke departments.

The seemingly child-friendly songwriting duo of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken adapted the original film into a long-running Broadway musical.

They are also the masterminds behind such Disney classics as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. We've all heard about subtle Disney sexual innuendos (think Aladdin, "All good teenagers, take off your clothes"), but when Hoof 'n' Horn hit the stage during rehearsal, the raunchy humor of Little Shop was in full effect.

Just like Ashman and Menken's Disney scores, Little Shop of Horrors features music that ranges from doo wop to funk to monster rock ballads.

The band is featured prominently on the intimate set, and includes several campus rock stars from the Alan Davis Band. The cast and the band feed off each other throughout, with cast members occasionally tossing tips into a top hat.

•

ative of the sounds of Linkin Park, Saliva and their ilk, and it's earned them some rotation on MTA/2.The beginning of the Exies' sophomore Inertia pulsates with the powerful, straightforward rock of the lead single, "My Goddess" and the danceably depressing "Can't Relate."

By the middle of the album, though, the Exies' muted percussion and protracted vocals are just downright boring.

Their lyrics touch on the oh-so-popuand disillusionlar subjects of ment. However, instead of being cathartic and identifiable, the Exies' lyrics are vague, bizarre and ultimately unmemorable.This is particularly true on the metal-sounding "Calm and Collapsed," in which the band seeks to demonstrate their haunting capabilities, but unfortunately, the title rings all too true. Nonetheless, despite the prevalence of the wholly uninspired hard rock throughout the album, the title track's delicately crafted melody and mellifluous vocals coupled with its clever use of the word "inertia" may make that song the most innovative aspect of the album. Why? Because the boys in the Exies just love irony.

We want to remind everyone about the bonfire policy we established several years ago, which will again govern this year’s activities. The victory celebrations following big games in recent years have been what we have all hoped for, and ones in which the Duke community could take pride.

The same rules will remain in effect this year and, with your cooperation, we will continue to celebrate our victories safely and enthusiastically. In keeping with this goal, we remind you of some key concerns:

1. The University will obtain City permits for four potential bonfires, on the days of men’s home games against North Carolina (February 5) and Maryland (February 19), and the Women’s and Men’s National Championship Games (April 6 and 7). The first permitted basketball bonfire is Wednesday, February 5.

2. Bonfires on any other days will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution.

3. The City Fire Marshall asks that everyone stay at least 10 feet away from the fire

4. Please keep stacked benches to a reasonable height (not more than three) and do not climb on top. The tragedy at Texas A & M a few years ago provides ample evidence why.

5. If you carry a beverage, please use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad.

6. Do not sit or stand on building roofs.

7. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game. Refrain from using dorm furniture as fuel for a bonfire.

8. The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited.

9. The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. Any fires that are started outside of this area will be considered illegal and dealt with at the discretion of the City Fire Marshall and Duke University Police.

The City Fire Marshall has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is now a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.

Top-ranked Blue Devils host improved Wake

By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

The Wake Forest and Duke women’s basketball teams have met 20 times dating back to the 1993-94 season—Duke has won all 20 games. The Demon Deacons will try to break the streak tonight when they travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a 7 p.m. matchup with the undefeated and No.l ranked Blue Devils.

Duke enters tonight’s game with a 15-0 record overall, three wins coming in ACC action. Alana Beard leads the team in scoring with just under 25 points per game and has received ACC player of the week honors six times on the young season.

TTie Blue Devils are coming of a 79-59 victory over Georgia Tech in Atlanta this

past Monday. Iciss Tillis led the team with 24 points and 14 rebounds, picking up the slack for an uncharacteristic slow first half from Beard.

“I think in the long run it was really good to have Alana struggle,” said head coach Gail Goestenkors. “Sometimes

ICISS TILLiS and No.l Duke hope to continue their 20-game conference winning streak Thursday.

when Alana is having a really good game, they watch instead of participating. We do need other people to step up.”

The Demon Deacons (14-4, 1-3) are coming off consecutive losses for the first time all season. After a disappointing showing against UNC at Chapel Hill, Wake Forest hosted Maryland Monday but fell to the Terps 75-73. The Demon Deacons tried to come from seven down with 47 seconds remaining but ran out of time on their final possession.

Eafton Hill leads Wake in both scoring and rebounding. The junior forward, aver-

aging just under 13 points per game, has paced her club in scoring in six contests.

Two other Demon Deacons, Cotelia Bond-Young and Tonia Brown are averaging in double figures in points. BondYoung, a talented freshmen guard, is shooting an impressive .429 percent from three point range.

Duke has gotten off to a slow start in each of its ACC contests, trailing at halftime in all three. If the Blue Devils misfire at the start again, Wake Forest will try to capitalize against the No. 1 team in the nation.

“I am glad we’ve had the ability to come back, but we understand that that’s not going to be the way things work for us all year long,” Goestenkors said.

Wake Forest has been strong defensively, forcing an average of 21 turnovers per game. The Duke ball handlers, Beard and Vicki Krapohl, will have to be vigilant when brining the ball up the court.

After a great game against Georgia Tech, Tillis needs just one point tonight to be the 17th women’s player to reach the 1,000-point mark for her career.

While Duke has an edge on paper, Goestenkors knows that if her side falters, Wake will be ready to challenge for the victory.

“Hopefully we can regroup a little bit and get ready to play Wake Forest,” Goestenkors said in a Tuesday teleconference. “I think all of us in the league knew they were going to be much better this year. They just continue to get better year in and year out, and this is going to be their best season ever.”

Redick-ulous: Freshman torches familiar foe for 34 Prior to last night’s game against ACC-foe Virginia, sharp-shooting Duke freshman J.J. Redick said that he would have likely remained in his home state to play college basketball for the Cavaliers if he had not grown up a Blue Devil fan.

possibility that Redick, who has lived up to his reputation as one of the best pure shooters to come

“We knew [Redick] was a great player,” Gillen said. “We tried to recruit him but we couldn’t get him. He certainly had a great game tonight. We knew he Game Commentary

might

would play well, but we were hoping he wouldn’t get thirty-something or whatever he got.”

Redick was simply sensational against the Cavaliers, scoring 21 firsthalf points on his way to 9-of-13 shooting from the field, including 5-of-6 from behind the arc, and a perfect 11-of-ll from the free-throw line.

“There’s a look that he has when I know he really wants the ball,” Duke captain Chris Duhon said. “I knew that anytime he was open we needed to get the ball to him. He came out and put on a show tonight. He’s an amazing player.”

While Redick’s numbers are remarkable on their own, the way in which he broke Johnny Dawkins' single-game scoring record for Duke freshmen in the team’s most difficult contest this year was the most impressive.

In the first half Redick fought off constant screens to get himself open for his See COMMENTARY on page 9

PAGE 10 �THURSDAY. [ANUARY 16. 2003

VIRGINIA from page 1 “That may be, for us, the biggest play,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He not only got fouled, but somehow he put that ball in.”

The Blue Devils were also hot from the line. What has normally been Duke’s Achilles Heel, its free throw shooting, was key to its victory. The Blue Devils missed a mere three of 40 for the entire game and shot 100 percent in the first half. Virginia also looked strong from the line, shooting 72.4 percent.

“For our kids to be able to hit that many free throws at that percentage in a game that we’re either behind or one or Wo possessions up—and we haven’t been hitting them well—was key,” Krzyzewski said.

The second half seemed to be more of a free throw contest rather than a continuous basketball game. A rare minute went by without a fouled being called. An astounding 64 of the game’s total points came off free throws and a combined 61 were shot by both teams in the second half.

Virginia’s preseason Naismith Award candidate

The Chronicle

Travis Watson led his team with 26 points, though he too found himself in foul trouble. He came up with his fourth when both teams were tied at 59, which created an opening in the inside for the Blue Devils.

"It was a weird game,” Duhon said, who played the final four minutes with four fouls himself. “There were a lot of f0u15.... It was just one of those games where everything was just going right for both teams. We did a great job of just holding them off and making the most plays to be victorious."

Five minutes into the game, Krzyzewski used one of his classic moves in pulling out all five starters. Sean Dockery, Daniel Ewing, Nick Horvath, Lee Melchionni and Randolph stepped into the game, while the five starters were benched for a couple minutes.

Randolph also had a stellar game, scoring 17 points.

His three-point straightaway 5:22 into the second half was the start of a seven-point run for the freshman.

“I'm proud of our guys because we beat a heck of a basketball team tonight in kind of a different game,” Krzyzewski said. “It's a heck of a win for us because I think they're really good. I think they're extremely good.”

COMMENTARY from page 10 trademark three-point jump shot. The Cavaliers contested nearly every opportunity that he had, yet Redick still managed to go a perfect four-of-four from downtown, drawing by far the loudest cheers from the

Cameron Crazies.

The second stanza began in much the same way, with Redick knocking down another bomb just 15 seconds after play resumed. However, Virginia managed to tighten up its defense on the Duke freshman, allowing him just one more three-point shot for the remainder of the game.

At that point, Redick could have continued to fire illadvised shots from long range, but he instead disproved any skeptics’ claims that he is a one-dimensional player.

The Roanoke, Va. native adjusted his game to the Cavalier defense by driving to the basket and getting himself to the free-throw line, where he misses about as often as the CrazyTowel Guy fails to show up for a game.

Such maturity is rare in a freshman, and Duke

MIKE KRZYZEWSKI tries to fire his team up during the Virginia game, head coach Mike Krzyzewski realizes the special combination of talent and basketball I.Q. of his first-year phenom.

“The thing about J. J. is he has the maturity of a senior,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s got his feet under him, he understands the game and he’s such an easy kid to play with. He’s not just a good freshman; he’s one of the outstanding players in the conference.”

Redick may have had some extra motivation to perform well against Virginia, as two of his former summer league teammates and best friends—Elton Brown and Jason Clark—play for the Wahoos. Although both Brown excelled, scoring 19 points, the night clearly belonged to Redick.

“I was excited about this game simply because it was an ACC game, but it made it a little bit more special that I was going against my home state and two of my best friends in the world,” Redick said. “I was just feeling it tonight. In the first half, I felt like every time I touched the ball, if I got a look at it, it was going in.

I knocked down a few in a row and when I got hot, that’s when my confidence just skyrocketed.”

It wouldn’t be clear to every firm that a man with an M.F. A. in poetry was the right choice to head an automated block trading unit. Or that a designer of solar-powered race cars was the right woman to help launch a new venture in computational chemistry. But after we talked to them, it was clear to us.

The D. E. Shaw group is an investment and technology development firm. Since 1988 we’ve grown into a number of closely related entities with more than US $4 billion in aggregate capital by hiring smart people from a wide range of backgrounds and letting them implement—and manage—what they invent.

Twenty

years after its demise, the greek judicial board is returning to campus. This board, rather than the Undergraduate Judicial Board, will hear judicial cases and complaints involving greek chapters. The board’s resurrection is disappointing, since the disappearance of the greek judicial board 20 years ago was a good thing, and the University has little reason to revive it today.

The situation is simple: A panel consisting entirely of greek-affiliated students will have the final say on punishment with any case involving a greek chapter. There are at least two ways in which this could result in a miscarriage of justice.

First, the administration expects a board of greeks to sanction other greek organizations. This view is unrealistic, since most of the infractions on which greek chapters are tried can be committed on a regular basis by greek chapters who are not caught. Since greeks will be judging other greeks, they have an incentive to be lenient on each other in repayment for future lenience. Thus, one way the greek judicial board could abuse justice is by giving every greek chapter a get-out-of-jail-free card.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, however, is the possibility that inter-greek rivalries will be played out in the judicial board. That is, if one fraternity has a strong rivalry with another, what will prevent members of the first fraternity from harshly penalizing members of the second fraternity in the greek judicial board? There is a real possibility of harsher punishments based on outside vendetta.

Although these represent two opposite extremes, they are both miscarriages ofjustice. Most judicial systems are based on the idea that whoever is doing the judging should be as impartial as possible.

However, the system set up for the greek judicial board chooses the most biased people possible by making the judges people intimately invested in greek life.

Another problem with the board is that little thought seems to have been given to what its purview should be. The board regulates on-campus fraternities, off-campus sororities, and non-residential fraternities, but not on-campus selective houses. Does it make sense to have a single board governing some selective living groups but not others? And does it make sense to have a single board governing some groups that have housing and others that don’t? What is it about naming your organization with greek letters that entitles it to special treatment from the University?

Moreover, the cases that the board hears seem to come in two distinct types. There are those cases that are largely internal and affect only greek organizations—e.g., dirty rushing—and other cases that affect the broader Duke community—e.g., a greek group vandalizing a commons area. A better system would separate the judicial enforcement for these two types of violations, since non-greeks should have a say in regulating greek activity that affects everyone.

This is not to say that more greek input in the system is not needed.

It is. Many of the current rules the administration makes greeks follow are ridiculous, and enforcement of the rules in the past has often been arbitrary. But the fact that the current system has flaws does not justify implementing this system. Ultimately, the fact is that this board failed and lost its credibility 20 years ago, and little has changed since then. It could very well fail again now. University officials would be better served by changing their minds and not resurrecting the past.

Reducing dependence on oil may not reduce terror Martin Bama’s Jan. 14 column, “The Axle of Evil,” argues that becoming less dependent on al Qaeda linked OPEC oil is a viable means to cut off terrorist financing, which is an honorable goal but presents myri-

ad challenges.

The fact is that oil will continue to be the primary world energy source for years to come, even if ihe United States

becomes much less dependent on oil and much more efficient at using it. Even with conserva-

transportation. My inkling is that this will not come in the form of SUVs. Oil is often cheaper than water, and the cost of energy is the driving force for the growth of most developing economies. So it is a reasonable assumption that the developing world will most likely take up the slack from the industrial world. The question

then arises, from where will this oil come? Presently, OPEC constitutes only 40 percent of the world’s oil production, while 65 percent of discovered deposits are located in these countries.

dollars into hydrogen cells, and

The registrar should not make these mistakes. Grades are important to us and influence our futures. The spirit of the registrar’s office suggests that mistaken grades are acceptable and normal. How often does the registrar and his staff type the wrong grade, anyway? Maybe it’s harder than I think to distinguish between As, B’s, C’s and D’s.

Now, I understand that mistakes happen, and that the registrar was correct in fixing bis mistake. But when the registrar and his staff tell you about the error, it sure seems like they don’t care. Mr. Registrar, if you continue to mix up peo-

I hope you and your staff will have more respect for students and our grades in the future. As students, we can’t easily, quickly, and impersonally correct our mistakes like you can. If you are not too busy, why not make a phone call and apologize for mixing up letters our grades? Mr. Registrar, shouldn’t your office be held to the same standards as everyone else at Duke?

Commentary

The Chronicle

Liberating aardvarks When my parents were in college, the students were revolting. Not just in the sense that several of them didn’t shower very often or were afflicted with the undergraduate curse of nauseating self-righteousness. I mean they were rioting in the streets and burning things. Organized “Angry Groups” like Students for a Democratic Society and their conservative counterparts had plenty of members.

The year before my parents arrived, protesters even set fire to the union, and, since it wasn’t a concrete monstrosity like the Bryan Center, it burned.

I can only imagine the university’s promotional literature; probably it touted the “involvement” and “enthusiasm” of BS the zealots on campus. But administrative whitewashing aside, it is pretty clear this was not a great climate in which to t

For the sake of a brief example, I’ll take education.

Black students as a group routinely score lower than white, Asian and Hispanic students on standardized exams, even in communities (like infamous Shaker Heights, Ohio) where the races are socioeconomically equal. This is known as the achievement gap, and it is a terribly daunting problem that no school system yet seems to be able to solve. But when was the last time you saw the phrase “achievement gap” on the front page of The New York Times ? National leaders have simply stopped talking about closing the gap and improving inner city education.

How about higher education ?1 College is made affordable for all students, including many black students, through government-funded state schools. But in the past year virtually every state in the country has been forced to cut the budgets for their state schools, from California (3 percent cut) to Virginia (around 10 percent cut) to right down Route 15-501 at the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill, where more than 200 faculty positions are in danger of being cut this year.

Yet the recently-unveiled George W. Bush “stimulus” plan provides no money at all to flailing state governments, leaving colleges to spike tuition and leaving poorer students in a financial bind. With the skyrocketing cost of higher education and a decades-old legacy system that pervades college admissions, the nation’s universities are in danger of reversing the progress of the 1980s and 90s.

I could go on and on about issues, but the point is this: When it comes to the problems that many black Americans are experiencing in their everyday fives, the president and
