Tenters face cold, other challenges By erin McClellan The Chronicle

Residents of the Krzyzewskiville tent city often claim to be the most “hard-core” part of the student body, annually facing inclement weather, long lines and early-morning wake-up calls.

Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan is responsible for assigning grace periods to tenters for cold weather. Over the past couple weeks of tenting, he said tenters have had to sleep out only about half the time, and he plans on continuing to assign grace periods when the temperature falls below 30 degrees.

Morgan has received the brunt of complaining from tenters who initially questioned his ability to juggle all of his commitments, which also include positions as Interfraternity Council president and Head First-Year Advisory Counselor Co-Chair. Some students See K-VILLE on page 10

External chairs grow in number

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

FRESHMAN REBECCA GEARY braves the cold in Krzyzewskiville. Some tenters have complained about the exceptionally cold weather and line monitoring this season.

In the past, bringing in an external chair meant an academic department was in serious trouble.

But the practice of looking outside the University for a department chair seems to be growing—and not always as a means of boosting a department in decline.

In the past five years, Arts and Sciences has searched outward to find chairs for English, public policy studies and biology, and will search for chairs this spring in both religion and history.

Over the past two years, Pratt School of Engineering Dean Kristina Johnson has hired three-fourths of her department chairs from outside and an increasing number of the School of Medicine’s chairs have been external hires as well—from surgery to cell biology.

Maureen Quilligan, professor and chair of English, was hired in 1999 from the University of Pennsylvania to chair the department following a critiSee CHAIRS on page 9

Nurkin plans to draw on his creative side This is the second story in a three-part series profiling this year’s finalists for undergraduate young trustee.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

When Campus Council President Andrew Nurkin applied early decision to Duke in 1998, he had his eyes set on studying in the University’s esteemed English department.

That fall, however, while Nurkin waited for the thick envelope he would eventually receive in the mail, the implosion of the department made national headlines, making the Duke legacy wonder whether he had made the right decision in following in his father’s and brothers’ footsteps.

Arriving on campus, Nurkin toyed with the idea of becoming a public policy studies or political science major, but once he took a few classes in the rebounding English department, the young trustee finalist returned to his high school passion.

“Duke surprised me in a lot of ways academically,” said Nurkin, a senior. “You really have to search out some good professors and good classes. If you find them, you can have some of the most rewarding experiences.”

Powell: U.S. will fight without allies

King of Jordan expresses doubt about ability to reach peaceful resolution in Iraq

By ALAN COWELL and MARK LANDLER

New York Times News Service

Secretary DAVOS, Switzerland of State Colin Powell came close to dismissing a crucial U.N. report on Iraq weapons Sunday on the eve of the report’s publication, and said the United States would go to war against Iraq alone if its divided European allies would not join the fight.

While Powell promised that the

Bush administration would study the findings of the report when it is submitted Monday, he indicated that it would be useless to give the weapons inspectors more time.

Bringing the case for military action to a deeply skeptical audience of

political, business and religious leaders at a conference in the Swiss Alps, Powell said Saddam Hussein of Iraq

had “repeatedly violated the trust of

the United Nations, his people and his neighbors.” He renewed an administration contention that Saddam had ties to ah Qaeda terrorists.

His remarks at the conference, the annual World Economic Forum, deepened a sense of inevitability among people here about a conflict. Speaking after Powell, King Abdullah of Jordan said the prospects for a peaceful resolution were fading.

“We are a bit ‘too little, too late’ to see a diplomatic solution,” said the king, whose land borders Iraq. “Let us hope that whatever happens between

Iraq and the international community is as quick and painless as possible.”

Though the United States had hoped to forge a consensus among its

allies, Powell said, the lack of a coalition would not deter the Bush administration. “When we feel strongly about something, we will lead, we will act, even if others are not prepared to join us,” he said.

By promising to study the report and consult with other members of the Security Council before acting, the secretary made a modest concession to the qualms of Europeans about what many here describe as Washing-

ton’s stampede toward war.

Bush emphasizes Iraq pre-emption policy

By MICHAEL GORDON

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON One year after President George W. Bush declared Iraq to be part of an “axis ofevil,” the United States appears ready to carry out its new doctrine authorizing pre-emptive attacks on hostile states and terrorists who represent potential threats to the United States.

While the Bush administration would prefer to have the broad support of UN. Security Council members before it invades Iraq, it put the world community on notice Sunday that it is fully prepared to act on its own.

“Multilateralism cannot become an excuse for inaction,” Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday, referring to the uphill battle to achieve a consensus at the Security Council.

He later added, “We continue to reserve our sovereign

right to take military action against Iraq—alone or in a coalition of the willing.”

The United States has long reserved the right to strike first to defend US. troops and territory against imminent threats. But experts say the pre-emption policy is remark-

able for several reasons.

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the Bush administration has turned pre-emption from an option into a cardi-

nal principle ofits foreign policy. The administration has also made the case for pre-empting threats that are not immediate, but merely prospective, as in the case of Iraq.

Importantly, the administration has talked about preemption in a very public way. Pre-emption is no longer a contingency to be discussed behind closed doors, but is See PRE-EMPTION on page 8

Keohane issues response to WSJ From staff reports Reacting to national attention about a woman convicted of bombing the U.S. Capitol being invited to speak on campus, President Nan Keohane sent a response late last week to a website that has hosted much of the debate.

Becky Thompson, visiting associate professor of

African and African-American Studies, invited Laura

Whitehorn to address a graduate seminar on the topic of HIV infection in prisons. Protesting the U.S. invasion of Grenada, Whitehorn served 14 years in prison for her role in placing a bomb that damaged several Capitol offices in 1983.

In writing her response, Keohane did not directly address the appropriateness of bringing Whitehorn to campus, a decision that some, including the Duke Conservative Union, characterize as supporting a terrorist. Keohane did praise the dialogue sparked by a columnist on the website, Opinion Journal.com.

“We’ve encouraged a debate about this incident for the same reason we resist pressuring our faculty, students or departments in their selection of speakers: We are committed to an open airing of ideas and opinions,” Keohane wrote. “One of our nation’s greatest values, from the earliest days of our republic, is the freedom for people to express their thoughts openly.

“Students, faculty members and others in the Duke community benefit from hearing and debating a wide variety of ideas. We have confidence in their ability to analyze and critique the diverse arguments they hear.

This activity is central to a healthy democracy, and an essential hallmark of our universities.”

As of late Sunday night, the Opinion Journal had not yet published the letter on its website.

Keohane said she has received hundreds of e-mails since the website—which is run in conjunction with The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page—picked up the story and included her e-mail address.

“We’ve had hundreds and hundreds of e-mails about it, because there’s a hyperlink to my e-mail so it’s very easy for people to just dash off responses,” Keohane said last week in a meeting with Chronicle editors.

Keohane’s response follows an earlier reply to critics of Whitehorn and Thompson by David Jarmul, Duke’s associate vice president for news and communication. Jarmul said the DCU’s criticisms threatened Whitehom’s freedom of speech, a value he called central to a university’s mission.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Nature is once again open for business on campus.

More than a month after a severe ice storm produced the worst damage since Hurricane Fran, cleanup at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and the Duke Forest is almost finished, and both areas should be completely open this week.

Pedestrians gained access to the gardens around Christmas and to the A1 Buehler Trail around the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Course in mid-January, but have encountered “No Trespassing” signs at most of the gates to the Duke Forest.

‘We’re in the last few days of removing some ofthese hanging dangerous limbs,” said Duke Forest Resource Manager Judson Edebum. ‘WeTe just working on the Durham [County] division now. Certainly by sometime [this] week, we will open the remaining areas.”

Edeburn said some people have ignored the closed, gates.

Undergraduate Fellowship Program

The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies is seeking qualified undergraduate applicants to participate in a year-long fellowship program, “Defending Democracy, Defeating Terrorism”.

The fellowship program will commence in early August 2003 with an intensive two week course in terrorism studies at Tel Aviv University in Israel. Using Israel as a case study, Fellows will learn about the threat terrorism poses to democratic societies around the world.

Fellows will interact with academics, diplomats, and military officials from India, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and the United States.

FDD Fellows will be provided with all room, board, and travel expenses.

FDD is a non-profit and non-partisan think tank that promotes informed debate about policies and positions that will most effectively abolish international terrorism.

Interested students should visit our website www.defenddemocracy.org and complete the on-line application.

Please send questions to fellows@defenddemocracy.org

“We are certainly not out there patrolling it on a daily basis, but there is some usage that has gone on,” he said. “We hope that no one gets injured when they are gaining unauthorized access.”

It is still too early to determine how much the total Duke Forest cleanup will cost, Edeburn said, but it will probably end up in the tens of thousands of dollars—a fraction of the Hurricane Fran cost, when the University spent $200,000 just removing debris from the forest roads.

Two crews were brought in over the past month to remove the extremely dangerous “widow makers”— hanging limbs that could fall at any time. Another three crews used chainsaws to remove material from the roads and fire trails.

Greg Nace, associate director of horticulture for the gardens, said the cleanup there is about 98 percent complete.

Orangutans show signs of culturally-based traits

By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

Orangutans, long disparaged as prime examples of the brutish ape, are enjoying newfound respect thanks to recent research demonstrating their primitive grasp on a supposedly humans-only possession—culture.

An international team of scientists, led by Duke Professor of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy Carel van Schaik, pored over years of observational research to establish the evidence that orangutans, like humans, acquire patterns of behavior—everything from tool use to sexual technique to bedtime ritual—from being around others in a group, which scientists term culture.

The finding—published in the Jan. 3 issue of Science—sets the beginning of the development of culture to about 14 million years ago, when the human lineage is theorized to have broken off from the orangutans’.

This is not the first time scientists have theorized culture to exist outside humans—previous evidence for chimpanzees, humans’ closest living relatives, suggested 7 million years ago as the dawn of culture. Still, the results for orangutans were unexpected.

“It’s surprising because [orangutans] are not so social,” van Schaik said. “Yet, orangutans and chimpanzees are cultural in very similar ways.... And populations where [orangutans] spent more

time together have the greater repertoire of cultural behavior.”

For example, orangutans at one site gave each other a Bronx cheer before they went to bed, while elsewhere this practice was absent. Some populations were adept at hunting a rabbit-sized primate called the slow loris; others ignored the meal.

Van Schaik hopes the research will ultimately foster a greater understanding of human culture.

“The value of this study is that we break open the monolithic culture concept,” he said. “What we think of as human culture was built on this foundation provided by the great apes. It didn’t come de novo out ofnowhere.”

Van Schaik first noticed orangutan cultural behavior while observing two populations divided by a river and their peculiarly different behavior toward a particular large fruit. One population was proficient at using sticks to pry the fruit’s seeds from the prickly protective hairs, but the other group simply ignored the valuable food source. Since the environmental conditions were identical on each side of the river, van Schaik theorized this was evidence of culturally learned behavior, a result he published last year.

Encouraged by the initial observation, van Schaik organized the interna-

tional team of orangutan experts to find See ORANGUTANS on page 7

Israel blocks travel to West Bank, Gaza before elections Officials cite security risks ahead of Tuesday’s election, in which right-wing expects victory

By DANIELLE HAAS

San Francisco Chronicle

Two days before TEL AVIV, Israel the national election, Israel sealed off the West Bank and Gaza Strip Sunday to prevent Palestinian attacks aimed at derailing the vote.

The blanket closure, imposed after the largest Israeli raid in the Gaza Strip since the intifada began in September 2000, bans all Palestinians from entering Israel until Wednesday and tightens strict travel restrictions that have been in place for much of the past 28 months of bloodshed.

The Israeli army, however, said that the Allenby Bridge linking Jordan and the West Bank, and the Rafah crossing

between Gaza and Egypt, would remain open.

Israel’s security forces are on high alert amid what Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz called “an assault of terror” before Tuesday’s election.

The Cabinet issued a statement quoting Mofaz as telling ministers that “the scope of the warnings and the attempts to carry out terror attacks is very high.”

Police did not cite any specific threats, but said that some 26;500 police and soldiers were being deployed to guard against Palestinian attacks.

Tensions were rife Sunday following the raid in Gaza that killed 12 Palestinians, mainly from militant groups and security forces. Saturday’s tank and heli-

copter raid was launched in response to Palestinian rocket fire toward the nearby Israeli town of Sderot a day earlier.

Palestinians fired four more Qassam rockets Sunday that did not cause any •

injury or damage.

The Israeli army said its soldiers “raided dozens of buildings used as weapon-producing workshops” and destroyed equipment during the operation in Gaza, in which they faced Palestinian gunmen using antitank missiles and explosives.

A visit to the area Sunday gave some sense of the scale of the fighting. Numerous market stalls were charred and

Surreal scenes of people going about their daily business were juxtaposed alongside the carnage, illustrating the extent to which violence has become commonplace in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian men sat drinking coffee by the side of the road where tanks stood less than 24 hours earlier, and children plopped stones into a large water- filled crater formed by the treads of Israeli armored vehicles and army bulldozers.

lyad El Akawim, an Islamic Jihad activist, said he had joined other young Palestinian “fighters” on a street corner when tanks began to rumble up the

twisted skeletons of cars were peppered with bullet holes.

U.S. spy plane crashes over South Korea; cause unknown

By DON KIRK

New York Times News Service

A U.S. spy plane crashed SEOUL, South Korea 30 miles south of here Sunday, injuring the pilot and four Koreans on the ground.

The plane, a version of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft that has been traversing the skies in search of information on America’s adversaries for nearly half a century, crashed in the town of Hwasung as the pilot, the only person on board, ejected and landed several miles away. He was treated for minor injuries at an American military hospital and released, said a spokesperson for the U.S. 7th Air Force at nearby Osan Air Base.

The cause of the crash was under investigation.

South Korean news reports said the plane hit a

The Department CordiaCfy

house and a motor vehicle repair center, setting off an explosion that burned down the buildings while the owner ofthe garage was on a break.

A South Korean Defense Ministry spokesperson said four Koreans were taken to a nearby hospital and treated for injuries that he described as “not serious.”

The crash came at a time of increasing tensions over North Korea’s weapons program, and disputes between the United States and South Korea over how to deal with the North.

The U.S. military command, wary of providing more ammunition for foes of the American troop presence here, promptly expressed sorrow for the accident.

Brig. Glen. Mark Beesley, vice commander of the 7th Air Force, visited the injured Koreans, and he promised to spare no efforts in assisting them and ensuring

that claims for personal injuries and property damage were processed “quickly and effectively.”

There was no immediate comment by the South Korean government, but television networks showed graphics with maps and dates of two previous U-2 crashes, one in 1984 in the same general region near Osan, headquarters of the U.S. 7th Air Force. The second crash was in the sea off South Korea’s east coast in 1992.

The Air Force did not divulge what the plane’s mission was at the time ofthe crash but said U-2s in general provided “continuous day-and-night high altitude all-weather surveillance and reconnaissance” on behalf of the 37,000 American troops in South Korea.

Such planes are not believed to be flying over North Korea but instead are restricted to flights on the South Korean side of the demilitarized zone between the two

IRAQ from page 2 He also recited a litany of failures and unanswered questions in Iraq’s cooperation with the inspectors, who have been looking for biological, chemical and nuclear weapons in Iraq for two months.

“To those who say ‘Why not give the inspection process more time?’ I ask ‘How much more time does Iraq need to answer these questions?”’ Powell said.

“We’re in no great rush to judgment tomorrow or the day after, but clearly time is running out,” he said.

“We will not shrink from war if that is the only way to rid Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction.”

Powell’s speech is part of a campaign by the White House, culminating in President George W. Bush’s State of the Union address Tuesday, to rally public opinion at home and abroad. While the secretary did not produce new evidence of Iraqi weapons, he insisted that the burden of proof was on Saddam, not the inspectors, to give an accounting of Baghdad’s

munitions.

Administration officials declined to say what time line they had in mind for a decision about any invasion.

European diplomats suggested that they would continue to press for more time for the inspectors.

Speaking on the ABC News program “This Week,” Javier Solana, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said that if Hans Blix, the head of the chemical and biological weapons inspection team, asked the Security Council for more time when he submitted his report Monday, he should get it.

“I don’t think that we are talking about an infinite amount of time,” Solana said. “Time has been given to Saddam Hussein before. So we are talking about a question of weeks, perhaps months.”

Speaking on French television, the French foreign minister, Dominique de Villepin, called for an extension of the inspections for “several weeks, or for a few months.”

Asked for evidence to back up Powell’s assertion that Saddam had “clear ties” to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, Andrew Card, the White House chief of staff, told “Fox News Sunday” the Iraqi leader “has had a history of a relationship with terrorist organizations in the past and it would be horrible if his weapons of mass destruction got into the hands of terrorists.”

Card was asked on another show, NBC’s “Meet the Press,” about reports that the United States was prepared to use nuclear weapons if need be against Iraq.

He answered: “Should Saddam Hussein have any thought that he would use a weapon of mass destruction, he should anticipate that the United States will use whatever means necessary to protect us and the world from a holocaust.”

Even as the administration struggles with its allies, it is facing pressure at home to confront Iraq slowly.

Powell’s speech did little to change the view of the

The troop of scientists amassed thousands ofhours worth of new and previously recorded data, and organized it in lists and tables, duplicating the methods of the chimpanzee researchers. To ensure the observations were cultural in nature, the researchers eliminated any behavior with obvious environmental correlates and applied numerous tests and qualifying criteria. In one crucial test, behavior was noted to be more similar between groups in closer proximity, in-

dicative of cultural diffusion.

They eventually found 24 separate, socially based orangutan behavior patterns that were varied and eclectic enough to be deemed culture. The scientists further grouped cultural behavior into five broad categories—cues, skills, signals, symbols and institutions—and determined orangutans clearly demon-

the project and a graduate student in BAA, agreed with van Schaik on the importance of the study. “We can see, in perspective, the culture of humans and how it’s not unique,” she said.

Further research will attempt to amplify the current findings by demonstrating cultural behavior in other primate species. “We think it’s a great ape universal,” van Schaik said.

However, many researchers noted that primate observational studies are being severely comproitiised by rapidly declining primate populations facing a range of threats, including poaching and rainforest destruction. “We’re in a race against time,” van Schaik said of the conservation challenge. “They’re being clobbered.”

The 25,000- to 50,000-strong orangutan population scattered across Borneo and Sumatra has declined about 50 percent over the past decade, mainly due to industrial destruction of their habitat, said Gary Shapiro, vice president of Orangutan Foundation International.

Shapiro expressed hope that the significance of the culture finding will help focus attention on orangutans’ plight. “This provides more ammunition for those of us on the conservation side,” he said.

PRE-EMPTION from page 2 advertised in strategy documents, proclaimed in presidential speeches and noted on the White House Web site.

Senior Bush administration officials

emphasize that pre-emption is just one of several ways to cope with terrorist threats and the dangers posed by the spread of nuclear, biological and chemical arms.

They say the doctrine is needed to deter potential adversaries from developing weapons of mass destruction and to reassure the American public, shaken by the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, that the government will protect them.

“The 9/11 attacks gave Americans a sense for the first time that they are vulnerable, and they have an expectation that their government will take action

to reduce and eliminate threats,” said a senior administration official.

“If the government is going to respond to that demand, it has got to start telling people what it is doing and that it has a national security strategy that is up to the new threat,” the official added. “There is also a deterrent element for the bad guys. And quite frankly we have to tell the rest ofthe world community that the world is different, that it is going to require some new measures and that they are probably going to have to act pre-emptively, too.”

But the doctrine has many critics, Republicans as well as Democrats. However the Iraq issue is resolved, the administration’s very public declarations that it has the right to initiate military action has exacerbated the strains between the United States and its allies, particularly because it comes amid unease over the unilateralist streak in ad-

the part of others regarding us,” Brzezinski said.

“The image you get ofAmerica in the polls abroad is an America that is admired for what it is domestically but increasingly viewed with apprehension for how it conducts itself internationally,” Brzezinski added. “I don’t think that is good. I am a great supporter of American power. We are the essential element of global stability. But our power is not so enormous that we can afford progressively to lose the element of legitimacy of that power.”

As the United States has begun military preparations for an attack on Iraq, the pre-emption policy has fueled a wide-ranging debate. One major argument for the policy, administration officials say, is the possibility that a state like Iraq might give weapons to terrorists, who would use them to attack the United States.

“It is not clear to me what advantage there is in declaring it publicly,” said Brent Scowcroft, the national security adviser who served the first president Bush, said of the pre-emption policy. “It has been common knowledge that under some circumstances the U.S. would pre-empt.

IONDAY, JANUARY 27,

Second-half spurt leads Blue Devils past Seminoles With Alana Beard on the bench with four fouls, Jessica Foley and Michelle Matyasovsky answered the call for the Blue Devils.

By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

81 Sports teams from Florida traditionally Florida St. 63 struggle when traveling north to compete in lower temperatures. Playing in the heated indoors, basketball is normally the exception to this rule, but Sunday Florida State could not deal with the kiss in Cameron.

6-foot-4 junior Iciss Tillis scored a career-high 30 points as No. 1 Duke (19-0,70) defeated the Seminoles (13-5, 5-2) 8163. The game was much closer than the Duke

You’d be surprised ifmighty Duke had squandered its pristine record and place atop college basketball with a loss to unheralded Florida State. The Blue Devils’ loftyranking was in great danger of being chopped down by the Seminoles Sunday afternoon, particularly when Alana Beard was strapped to the bench after picking up her fourth foul with 12:16 remaining in the game. And after the ladies from the Sunshine the score Mike Corey at 52,knotted everyone inside Game commentary Cameron Indoor trembled. Would the Seminoles cloud over Duke’s No. 1 ranking with an upset?

The answer—a resounding “no”— would come from a freshman and a senior; Jessica Foley, a native of Wodonga, Australia, and Michele Matyasovsky, from Somerdale, N.J. The unlikely pair provided a spark for Duke that culminated in a 29-11 run, securing victory for the Blue Devils. During the stretch, the two combined for 15 points, six rebounds and six assists.

“We decided to go with our best motion team, and Jess and Michelle are two of our best motion players,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. ‘We just spread the floor out and let them make some reads. I thought they did an excellent job passing the ball, making the right decisions.”

Iciss Tillis, who poured in a careerhigh 30 points, started the run by tossing in a pair of foul shots to give Duke

After struggling most game, head coach Gail Goestenkors pulled Beard from the contest for good after her fourth foul with 12:16 remaining in the second half with Duke holding a 50-43 lead. The sophomore guard finished with just seven points on 3-for-9 shooting, well below the 24.9 percent she had coming into the game. Fortunately for the Blue Devils, her return was un-needed, as Tillis and the role players went on a 29-10 run after the Seminoles brief spurt against the Beard-less Blue Devils.

“I think it was good for us to know that if Alana is in foul trouble or she isn't having one of her best games, we are going to be fine,” Goestenkors said. “We can all

Blue Devils snap losing str

By ASSAAD NASR The Chronicle

Puke

1 After a rough week

on the road which ~\ Tech saw the men’s basketball team lose two ACC conference games for the first time in six years, the No. 3 Blue Devils (13-2, 4-2 in the ACC) returned to the friendly confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium and defeated the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-7,23), 91-71.

“We played really hard, and at times extremely well,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Tm proud of our guys because this is a huge win for us.”

After a back-and-forth seventeen minutes of action in which neither team could maintain any momentum, the turning point of the game occurred in the final 2:34 of the first half. Down by one point, Duke went on a 6-0 run to enter the locker room at halftime up 42-37. Sparked by two of Casey Sanders’ four blocks, and a thundering dunk by Shelden Williams that brought the Cameron Crazies to their feet, the Blue Devils established a lead that they would not relinquish for the rest of the game.

Contrary to the previous two games in which Duke lost halftime leads early in the second, the Blue Devils came out with a greater intensity than the Yellow Jackets. Ignited

by Dahntay Jones, Duke went on a 146 run in the first five minutes of the half to open a 56-43 lead.

“We made a conscious effort just to stay energetic and aggressive to make sure we approached the second half in the right manner,” Jones said. “Those first four minutes were key for us; we got out and we got to a little bit of a lead, and we kept our poise.”

Jones, a senior, had a team-high 21 points while going 9-for-13 from the field, including 3-for-3 from the threepoint line. During a pivotal stretch a few minutes into the second half, Jones nailed a three-pointer from deep in the corner off of a pass from a slashing Chris Duhon, who had more assists —nine than all the Yellow Jackets combined.

Thirty seconds later, Jones beat his man off the dribble on the right side of the key and then charged down the baseline towards the basket for a jam.

One key to the victory was the Blue Devils’ much maligned inside game. Labeled all season long as a perimeter team, Duke continually looked towards its big men for offense, and they responded with their best games of the year. Nick Horvath, Shavlik Randolph, Sanders and Williams scored a combined 37 points, including a career high eighteen from Williams off the bench.

“Everyone’s had good games individually, but not all of us as a unit have had a good game at the same time, and that’s really what we need to win,” Horbi.

—

vath said.

Not only did the Blue Devils outscore the Yellow Jackets 44-30 in the paint, but they also outrebounded them 41-29.

Williams also had a career high in rebounds, grabbing 13.

Duke’s inside defense also played well, limiting Georgia Tech’s frontcourt to only five field goals. The Blue Devils used a defense-by-committee strategy to completely shut down national freshman ofthe year candidate Chris Bosh.

Throughout the game Duke rotated its big men and used other defensive help to contain Bosh, who was also hampered by foul trouble. The Yellow

Jacket scored all five of his points at the free-throw line and picked up only four rebounds in just 21 minutes on the floor. He had been averaging 9.9 boards per game.

“We just wanted to go out their and play good defense and rebound the ball, and that was the main focus for the big guys,” Williams said. “Once we did that, we knew that the game would be in our hands.”

Another part to the Blue Devils’ win was the play of sophomore guard Daniel Ewing. Coming off the bench, Ewing scored 10 points and dished out three assists. His play helped ease the load off freshman J. J. Redick who, while nursing a right foot injury suffered during the N.C. State game, went 2-for-10 from the field. Nevertheless, Redick was still able to contribute 11 points and to break the school record of 35 consecutive free

throws, held by Christian Laettner.

Overall, Krzyzewski was very pleased with the play ofhis young team.

“This has been a long week, a tough week,” he said. “[Our team is] still trying to find out who the heck they are in a lot of cases. But today they found out that they could handle that type of adversity and play well.”

Freshman Shelden Williams has a breakout game, scoring 18 points, grabbing 13 boards and leading the Blue Devils’ inside committee to one of its best games on the season.

Duke’s center and power forward committee played its best game of the year with the help of new chairman Shelden Williams.

The 6-foot-10 freshman set new career highs for points and rebounds with 18 and 13, respectively, as Duke’s four main inside players outscored their Georgia Tech opponents 37-24 and outrebounded them 24-16.

As a team, the Blue Devils outrebounded the visiting Yellow Jackets 41-29 and pulled away to a 91-71 victory.

“Our big guys, as a group, that was the best that group has played against a big team,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

Duke’s rebounding edge (12) was the largest ofthe season for theBlue Devils, and a particularly impressive accomW*? . plishment against a Georgia Tech team that was averaging nearly six more re- rp A ler Rosen bounds per game than its opponents “It’s all we hear all the time... “We’re Game commentary a shooting team, we’re a finesse team and all the stuff,”’ said Nick Horvath, who finished with seven points and two rebounds—all of which came in less than two minutes of the first half. “But we’re beating the crap out of each other in practice and it’s fun to finally get some credit for it.”

Horvath started at power forward for the Blue Devils and promptly took the game over with Duke down 5-2.

The junior made a spin move in the paint for a layup, grabbed the next defensive rebound, tipped in a missed shot, and then made three-of-four free throws on the next two possessions. When the dust cleared, Duke led 97 and Horvath had gone on a 7-2 run.

Later in the half, it was Casey Sanders’ chance to explode. With less than a minute left and Duke leading by three, the senior swatted a shot by B.J. Elder, and Dahntay Jones fed the ball to Williams, who jammed the rock ahead of the defense. On the next possession, Sanders struck again—this time blocking a layup by 7-1 center Luke Schenscher. Duke carried a five-point lead and all the momentum into halftime.

“They did an excellent job,” Chris Duhon said of his teammates. “All four of them came in and contributed in their own special way. Nick gave us a great boost at the beginning of the game. Casey gave us a great boost at

■

the end of the first half.”

Freshman Shavlik Randolph provided his big play in the second half as Duke was pulling away. He received an outlet pass from J.J. Redick and soared to the basket for powerful dunk. Marvin Lewis stepped underneath him, trying to draw the foul, but instead Lewis was called for the block. Randolph converted the free throw and theBlue Devil lead grew to 14.

But throughout the entire game, the constant was Williams.

“I thought our big guys gave us a huge boost today,” Krzyzewski said. “Shelden... was just like a battering ram there for a while in the first half.”

same possession in the first half and provided the team and crowd with a reason for enthusiasm. He scored nine points in each half and remained a presence throughout.

“I did well both rebounding and on the defensive end, and I got the chance to score some more points,” said Williams, who had been averaging less than seven points per game. “It was a boost for my confidence.”

Meanwhile, Duke held Chris Bosh, a 6-10 freshman, to five points—more than 11 below his average—and also negated Schenscher, Ed Nelson and

Anthony McHenry.

“It felt good because we all contributed,” Horvath said. “All four of us really work hard—and we’re competing for playing time, but coach says the way we’re going to win is if we don’t care who’s doing the scoring, just that someone’s doing it. It’s the best when we’re all doing it.”

Duke’s victory, coming on the heels of losses to N.C. State and Maryland, was important for the big men in terms of recapturing momentum for the season.

“We were tired of getting pushed around on the inside, so we wanted to come out here and make a statement, and then keep building on that statement,” Williams said.

The Tampa Bay defense won by a mile, returning three of a record five interceptions for touchdowns and shutting down any hope the Raiders had of a

late comeback.

It was the first Super Bowl victory for the former NFL laughingstock, a team that lost its first 26 games after it started playing in 1976 in those garish orange uniforms.

“I want to thank Coach Gruden for what he did,” said Bucs owner Malcolm Glazer, who a year ago was the butt of jokes for his revolving coach search that finally brought Gruden from the Raiders.

“He came from heaven and he brought us to heaven. We were waiting for the right man and the right man came—Jon Gruden.”

Gruden, who at 39 became the youngest coach ever to win a Super Bowl, is known as an offensive guru.

This win was with a defense run by Monte Kiffin and other holdovers from former coach Tony Dungy.

Super Bowl MVP Dexter Jackson had two interceptions, as did Dwight Smith, who returned both ofhis picks for touchdowns, including a 50-yarder to finish off the scoring with 2 seconds left in the game. Derrick Brooks also returned an interception for a touchdown.

Simeon Rice had two of the Bucs’ five sacks as Tampa Bay romped to a 20-3 halftime lead then scored two quick

third-quarter touchdowns.

That rendered futile a late comeback by the Raiders that included a touchdown on a blocked punt and 48-yard TD pass from league MVP Rich Gannon to Jerry Rice.

“Right now, I wouldn’t care if they put Mount Everest in front of me,” said Simeon Rice, who was playing against a line of all 300 pounders. “I just wanted to be a world champion.”

The Tampa Bay offense did its part,

too, led by Michael Pittman, who ran for 124 yards on 29 carries.

Mike Alstott had a 2-yard TD run and Brad Johnson added two TD passes to Keenan McCardell, the second an 11-yarder after an 89-yard drive that ate up almost eight minutes of the third quarter.

Just 43 seconds later, Smith grabbed the ball away from Jerry Rice and took it to the end zone to make it 34-3.

Oakland owner A1 Davis’ slogan “Just win, baby!” wasn’t going to work this time.

How good was the Tampa Bay defense?

Oakland had just 62 total yards in the first half, second-lowest total in Super Bowl history. And the five interceptions of Gannon were the most he had in any game this season. He finished 24-of-44 for 272 yards and two

touchdowns.

Credit the win also to Gruden, who left Oakland a year ago for Tampa Bay in what seemed at the time far too much in draft picks and cash—$8 mil-

lion to be exact.

Although Gruden denied it, his knowledge ofhis old team worked out perfectly.

Fencing goes 5-5 at Penn Wrestling wins 2, topping State Invitational Saturday Anderson, Delaware State

By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

The men’s and women’s fencing teams were delayed in their trip to State College, Penn, this past weekend due to cold weather. Once they arrived at Saturday’s Penn State Invitational, however, the results were lukewarm, with the men going 2-3 and the women 3-2 on the day.

The first match ofthe day could not have been more stacked against Duke, as its opponents, the undefeated Nittany Lions, were both the No. 1 team in the country and also the host of the match.

The men’s team lost 21-6 and the women’s team fell 20-7. As they would throughout the match, the Blue Devil epee teams shined, with all of the men’s points coming from that sword.

The next match came against rival North Carolina, and both Duke teams came away with a victories.

“I think it’s pretty much the same

[as higher-profile sports rivalries],” junior epee squad member Kimberley Schafer said. “The whole rivalry is about school pride, and I don’t think

scholarships or revenue have a whole lot of influence on it.”

Both the men’s and women’s teams won the epee competition against the Tar Heels en route to two 17-10 victories. Nic Testerman, Nathan Bragg, and Sean Huang led the men’s epee squad, while Jaimie West, Schafer, and Dorothy Hubbard outbattled UNC for a 7-2 win in the women’s epee.

The next match pitted Duke against Stanford, with the male Cardinal drubbing their Blue Devil opponents 18-9.

On the other hand, the women’s team squeaked out a victory, shutting Stanford out of the epee competition, 9-0, en route to a narrow 14-13 win.

Both teams dominated Hunter College, allowing only three points between them, as the men won 25-2 and the women 26-1.

The final match of the day was a Duke loss to the University of Pennsylvania, with the men faltering 18-9, and the women losing 19-8.

The unrankedBlue Devils had no trouble getting back to Durham, where they will host a home meet early next month.

By JEFF VERNON The Chronicle

On a dominating day, wrestling beat Anderson College and Delaware State in dual meets Saturday. Both victories were by wide margins; Duke pounded Anderson College 29-6 and Delaware State 36-9. With the wins, Duke improved to 4-6 in dual meet competition.

The victories add to a four-match winning streak, complimenting Duke’s earlier run of six straight dual meet

losses.

“We’re picking our intensity up and wrestling really hard,” said sophomore heavyweight Roy Williams. “I

think we’re doing really well. Our record doesn’t reflect that as much as it should.”

Junior Tim Marcantonio agreed.

“Our team is starting to really come around,” he said. “We’re not just going for one-point or two-point victories, we’re going for major decisions and two point falls. We’re starting to have a lot more confidence in our moves.”

Also streaking are junior Michael Mitchell and senior Tom Cass, who

“She caused some matchup problems,” Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. “She was averaging what, three minutes a game in ACC competition? We didn’t spend that much time on her.”

After Duke starting point guard Vicki Krapohl hit a three-pointer for Duke’s next basket, Tillis was forced to leave the game with blood on her jersey. But, with the Blue Devils two best players now on the bench, Duke’s play only improved.

Foley knocked down a three and a possession later scored on an offensive rebound, pushing Duke’s lead to 64-54 with 6:22 left in the second half.

It was at this point that senior forward Michele Matyasovsky decided to join the game. Up until this time, Matyasovsky had either been non-existent on a possession, or committed a hor-

rendous turn-over.

Matyasovsky started her run by knocking down a jump shot after rebounding a-Jessica Foley miss. On the very next possession, Matyasovsky scored again from a pass from Foley.

Matyasovsky’s run was interrupted by an alley-oop lay-up by Iciss Tillis, who was wearing number 15 after replacing her blood-stained 33. Cameron erupted on this play, adding more fuel to the fire

that inspired the Duke run.

On the next play, the Blue Devils topped themselves when Matyasovsky finished a give-and-go with Foley with an athletic reverse lay-up, giving Duke a 7459 lead with 2:23 remaining.

“I was sick of the way I was playing....

I had turnovers and wasn't really clicking with anyone,” Matyasovsky said. “I sort of relaxed toward the end and started playing more confident.”

Florida State attempted to regroup after this run by calling a timeout, but Krapohl stole the Seminole’s inbound pass and finished with a layup. Duke closed out its scoring with a threepointer from Tillis and a jump shot

from Sheana Mosch.

have won 10 and eight matches in a row, respectively.

“Mike Mitchell did a fantastic job, like always,” freshman Matt Burney said.

Marcantonio offered a similar as-

sessment.

“They’re just dominating,” he said.

“They’re both hitting their groove and rolling with it. They’re hitting their moves one after another.”

Strong performances were also recorded by senior Tommy Hoang, Marcantonio, and Burney, each of whom won two matches in Saturday’s

victory. Hoang defeated Anderson’s Clyde Pollack 20-3 in his first match, and won his second by forfeit. Marcantonio beat Anderson’s Careef Robertson 3-2, and Delaware State once again forfeited for his second match.

Burney won against Anderson’s Michael Sanders 8-5 and Delaware State’s Walter Robertson 8-2.

Duke looks forward to facing Davidson (1-8) and Tennessee-Chattanooga (3-12) Saturday, Feb. 1 in Davidson, N.C. Last year, Duke beat Davidson 49-0 and did not wrestle TennesseeChattanooga.

Before the role players inspired the game-breaking run, it was Tillis who carried the team. Tillis scored 13 points in the first half as the Blue Devils struggled

to a 37-32 lead. Later in the game when Beard struggled in the second half, Tillis was dominant, scoring six points in less than a minute.

“I had the hot hand to score,” Tillis said. “I kind of knew that I could take over scoring-wise, and that I could go over their post players, so I tried to take advantage of that, tried to post up some.”

The Seminoles’ star player, Tennesseetransfer Morris, led Florida State in scoring with 16 points, but shot only 6-for-21 from the field. The rest of the Seminole attack was balanced; Linnea Liljestrand was the only other player in double figures with 10 points.

Florida State is the only team that has played both No. 1 Duke and No. 2 Connecticut this season, but offered little insight into the matchup between the un-

beatens Feb. 1.

“I haven’t even thought about [the UConn-Duke game],” Morris said. “I’m worried about Florida State.”

“Stanley Fish had created something here that looked like it was being lost,” she said. “I wanted to come and try it my way.”

“The reasons for hiring outside chairs vary, so it is difficult to generalize,” Johnson wrote in an e-mail. “Sometimes it is to help add to the senior leadership in a department, sometimes to recruit a

CLEANUP from page 3 “We still have quite a few tree trunks to remove,” he said. “There are some trees that have tops broken off of them.”

About 75 trees came down in the gardens during or after the early December storm, and another 25 or so still need to be taken down, Nace said. Gardens officials will sell the logs from those trees to try to recoup some of the $lOO,OOO in expenses of the cleanup—more than the Fran damages for the gardens. In addition to the gardens’ own permanent staff, four different contractors were hired to help in the cleanup.

“It’s the worst ice storm anyone here has ever experienced,” Nace said in December. “We’ve seen damage in the gardens before, but nothing on this scale.”

Forty replacement trees, shrubs and other plants costing $15,000 have been ordered through nurseries and will be planted in the spring. The University will not replace native pines, oaks and other non-omamental trees lost.

Oak trees were especially hit hard because they still had their leaves on the trees and they collected a lot more weight than they could handle, Nace said.

The tops of pine trees also suffered greatly, and because pines cannot regenerate, crews needed to cut down about 50 and perform major tree surgery on many others.

K-VILLE

from page 1

cited Morgan’s half-hour lateness in giving out wristbands on the morning of the Jan. 12 Wake Forest game as a problem.

“If [Morgan] is going to make commitments to all of these different student organizations, he must keep his commitments, especially to the tenters. When he doesn’t show up when he says he’s going to, he could really make people angry,” said freshman Nick Vivion, captain of tent 20.

When Morgan finally showed up to give out wristbands, tenters booed him and began to chant “Skidmore,” the last name of Morgan’s predecessor.

“Last year, [Head Line Monitor] Greg Skidmore had been a K-ville tenter. Since he did that, people gave him more respect,” said sophomore Derek Womak, a resident of tent 5. “This year, tenters are making a lot ofunreasonable demands and are citing [Morgan’s] inexperience [as a reason to complain].”

Few tenters have expressed concern about the incident since Morgan apologized that night and gave tenters an extended grace period. Khalid Kurji, a sophomore in tent 38 who chanted along with the crowd that morning, said, “[Being late to hand out wristbands is] the only real mistake he’s made all year. I was really angry then, but I’m not as angry anymore.”

Many tenters have expressed concern that several sorority parties for new members fell on weekday tenting nights, during which eight of 12 tenters were expected to be in each tent between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Morgan said he received between five and 10 e-mails a day requesting longer grace periods during the weeknights, but that he could not grant them.

Last week, Morgan, a senior, addressed the tenters during a tent check. “The only reason I made some comments is that there has been a lot of people asking for grace for lots of social reasons, and I was making it clear that that is not going to happen and that I cannot make exceptions,” he said.

In general, however, Morgan said he is happy with the way things have been going at K-ville.

Sophomore Dan Southam, a resident of tent 8, cited the many grace periods—due to cold weather throughout the past week—as a reason for the complaints.

FRESHMAN NINA LEKSA does her homework in a frigid K-ville. Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan said he received five to 10 e-mails a day requesting grace periods for social events.

“When you’re given a little bit of freedom, you want more and more. Since he gave a little grace, he has been getting more complaints,” Southam said.

With three weeks of tenting over and over a week ahead until the UNC game, it is easy for K-ville residents to become cold and disgruntled. However, many tenters who began during the Blue Period—those students in the first 50 or so tents —were relieved par-

tially Sunday, when White registration began and tenting rules changed.

Despite the cold and missing out on sorority parties, most students continue to say that, in the end, the experience will be worth the effort, “What people must realize is that the longer you stay out here, the better the experience at the UNC game,” Southam said.

Auxiliary shake-up The reorganization of Auxiliary Services promises positive changes for students

With

the impending retirement of Joe Pietrantoni, associate vice president for auxiliary services, and Jerry Black, director of facilities management, the University has decided to reorganize the Division ofAuxiliary Services. Overall, this reorganization is an excellent idea that facilitates accomplishing several goals.

Pietrantoni should be commended for his efforts over the past three decades in building Auxiliary Services into what it is today.

Despite complaints, one of the things that Duke does extremely well is providing services—such as dining and parking—to students, especially when compared to its major competitors.

Moreover, Pietrantoni spearheaded the adoption of the DukeCard system, the first card access system at a University and still one of the most widely used systems.

Thus, the reorganization ofAuxiliary Services should not be seen as a negative judgment on the division—it is one of the best parts of the University. However, it is impractical to expect someone to step into Pietrantoni’s huge shoes.

Among the moves made in the reorganization is reassigning control of the DukeCard system and printing to the office of Tracy Fuhtey, vice president for information technology and chief information office. This move makes sense. The DukeCard is intimately related to technology and information, whereas much of the printing is digital in nature, again involving technology.

Another change is increased communication between Student Affairs and the scaled-back Auxiliary Services. The reorganization will certainly facilitate the kind of communication necessary between Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta and services such as dining, Duke University Stores, Event Management and postal services, all of which will be integral parts of the village that Moneta is seeking to build.

Ultimately, however, the University is better off with aspects of Auxiliary Services such as dining remaining separate from Student Affairs, even though Student Affairs has more input. Keeping Auxiliary Services separate prevents Student Affairs from unilaterally taking over the campus by requiring Student Affairs work with other departments, which will serve as a necessary check on the development of the village While the retirements of Joe Pietrantoni and Jerry Black provide challenges for Auxiliary Services, the reorganization promises to improve service and communication, necessary steps as Duke moves into the future.

On the record If[Morgan] is going to make commitments to all of these different student organizations, he must keep his commitments, especially to the tenters” Freshman Nick Vivien, on Jeremy Morgan’s tenure (see story, page one),

Whitehorn dispute does not concern free speech I consider myself a liberal.

In many ways I’m proud to call myself such.

What makes it most difficult, however, to be a proud liberal is the fact that so many liberals seem entirely incapable of deciphering which fights are worth fighting. The cause of Laura Whitehorn is

one that should not be taken up by anyone. Regardless of

the definitions Whitehorn and her apologists try to put forth, she is a terrorist, and this

word

appeared in quotation marks in The Chronicle’s headline.

An act of terrorism is one that is meant to inspire fear and intimidate others into accepting a certain point of view, Whitehom’s bombing of the U.S. Capitol certainly fits this definition,

Furthermore, this is not, as Visiting Professor Becky Thompson and University spokesperson David Jarmul claim, a “free speech issue.” No

one is claiming that individuals should not be allowed to criticize U.S. foreign policy or even to advocate acts of terrorism such as bombing the U.S. Capitol. Protesting the

University paying a woman who actually did commit such an act of terrorism is not an exercise in the suppression of free speech, but rather an exercise in common sense.

University should try to maintain BAA department I would first like to laud The Chronicle staff for their extensive coverage of the proposed faculty cuts that threaten the future of the biological anthropology and anatomy department.

As a student and a BAA major, I tun both surprised and outraged that a research university with Duke’s reputation would consider downsizing—and effectively crippling—one of its strongest programs. I cannot think of many instances that have spoiled my undergraduate experience—-

the dying social scene, the exorbitant costs and even the cement monstrosity behind the Bryan Center have not muddied my view of Duke.

However, the possible demise of the BAA department just might sour my perception of this University.

I still remember what BAA professor Ken dander said my Http:

sophomore year during the first meeting of my introductory BAA course, packed with nearly 350 students. “I don’t care what you do during class this semester, just be quiet because some people might actually care about what I have to say.” Taking the class simply to fulfill my natural science requirement, I never thought that I would be one of those “people” dander described.

But since then, studying BAA has given me the opportunity to work at excavation sites in South Africa and dodge ringtail lemurs at the Primate Center.

But, most importantly, studying human evolution has captured my interest in such a way that I have decided to

make it my future career. It may have been a blind shot, but registering for BAA 93D will always be the turning point of my academic and professional life.

I do not feel the need to defend the merits of the BAA department against other universities or other science programs at Duke. The proposed cuts indicate that the adminis-

tration doesn’t understand the benefits of BAA, which has been constantly evolving throughout the last two centuries into one of the most important and fascinating sciences. Biological anthropology will continue to be a dynamic area ofresearch, and the more popular topics of today such as cell and molecular biology and genomic research will enhance and certainly not overshadow its relevance. Although small, BAA is one of the most effective and successful departments at Duke. To let it die would blemish the name of this University forever.

By any definition, Whitehom is clearly a terrorist Laura Whitehom and Visiting Professor Becky Thompson have achieved what I would have never thought possible: They motivated me to side with the Duke Conservative Union. It is Whitehom

who does not understand the definition of the word “terrorism”—not, as she suggests, members of the DCU. For her convenience, here it is, from Webster’s Dictionary, 1994: ter-ror-ism (n): the systematic use of terror esp. as a means of coercion, ter-ror (n): 4. violence (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or goveminent into granting their demands. Before either Whitehorn or Thompson accuses the editors of Webster’s or myself of falling victim to post-Sept.

they note the publication date listed above. I would also note that the definitions above con-

form nicely to those I learned in Martin Miller’s “History of Terrorism” class years ago.

Notice that resultant casualties are not mentioned: Whitehom’s justification that she took every precaution to ensure no one was hurt is meaningless.

Granted, Whitehorn’s actions were not “systematic” (thanks in large part to the United States court system), nor is she a “group.” However, these are very thin threads upon which to hang an argument, Put simply, for Whitehom to refer to herself as a “political prisoner” after planting a bomb in the US. Capitol is outrageous. That she would express surprise over the

DCtPs reaction to her campus visit boggles the mind. Even Thompson worse, calls Whitehom’s actions “the opposite of terrorism” and suggests they were motivated by patriotism. This is irresponsible in

the extreme and just plain wrong. Whitehom had other, legitimate means of protesting the United States’s involvement in Grenada and she made a conscious decision to ignore them, choosing instead the path of violence and intim-

idation. Yet to this day, she does not seem to comprehend the nature of her actions.

I hope that in the future, Duke’s faculty uses a greater degree of discretion when inviting speakers to campus.

Free speech and terrorism

I know how convicted terrorist Laura Whitehom feels. I, too, feel misunderstood.

Granted we are misunderstood for different reasons. I even doubt that we could understand each mk other. However, regardless of how we are misunder- |T stood, the fact remains: I People just don’t understand what we are about. d•if 1 My case is peculiar. I Lnglisn am part of a group, the Duke Conservative Union, The Critical Theory which has criticized Whitehorn’s speaking engagement at Duke. But few people have listened to our actual complaints. To our surprise, we have received the attention of national media, much of it favorable. Yet most people, on campus and off, drew their own quick conclusions, for better or worse, as soon as we vocalized opposition. Thus the DCU has been accused of being against “free speech” (Whitehom in The Herald Sun), “hypocritical” (letter in The Chronicle) and even “a tad overwrought” (by our supporters at The Wall Street Journal). The question: Are these accusations grounded, and if not, what do they misunderstand?

First, some history on how this whole scandal came about: Some DCU members were surfing the web and discovered the John Hope Franklin Center’s spring lecture series. Scrolling down the posted speaker biographies, they came upon one Laura Whitehom, described as an-“anti-imperialist activist” and “political prisoner.” Further research revealed that far from being a political prisoner, Whitehom spent 14 years in jail for her role in bombing the US. Capitol in 1983. Her “anti-imperialist” activism included links to a number of violent terrorist groups active in the early 1980s. The advertisement of her lecture was fundamentally dishonest and what most people would call a downright he.

After the DCU leaked the story to The Wall Street Journal, the John Hope Franklin Center updated its website to reflect a more accurate biography. The question remained,

however: Why did the sponsors want to them. Those who attack the DCU’s camhide the truth in the first place? paign on free speech grounds are deploying The answer to that question seems at a strawman, and deliberately so. What the least partially transparent. It is scanDCU has done is question the justification dalous to host a convicted and unrepentant for Whitehom’s talk, the sources of funding terrorist while the nation is in a war that support it and its relationship to the against terrorism.

These are values that the sponsors do Duke about how their money is spent and not want the public to discover and thus making those who sponsor Whitehom pubthe deceptive misinformation. In response licly defend their bizarre values. to this agenda of dishonesty, the DCU conThe first aim regards simple economics.

if Dunkley is really serious, then I can’t wait for him and others to defend Whitehom like the DCU defended David Horowitz. The DCU, for example, agreed with Horowitz’s position on reparations and did not abhor his past. Conversely however, the DCU would never invite David Duke to speak on tax policy, no matter how sound his tax views might be. The reason is obvious: As an unrepentant former KKK member, David Duke is a moral monster and anathema to everything for which genuine conservatives stand. Is Whitehom’s record of terrorism likewise anathema to the values of her Duke sponsors? Will they, unlike her, disavow her past, or do they consider it a badge of honor?

There are still those who want to whitewash Whitehorn’s past and pretend that the “terrorist” label is exaggerated. I have a feeling that what most people currently know about Whitehom is only the tip of the iceberg. Still, Charles Payne, chair of AAAS, contends, “When people hear the word “terrorist,” they stop thinking.” People also stop thinking when they hear the word “racist,” which is what a number of AAAS faculty called Horowitz.

The difference is that while Horowitz was not a racist, Whitehom is a terrorist, and thus the label is absolutely appropriate.

What should be obvious from this and other campus debates is that free speech doesn’t mean you can’t challenge what other people say. Furthermore, the undisputed fact that Whitehom has a constitutional right to free speech is not, in itself, a justification for spending University funds to sponsor her at Duke. Those who champion free speech can consistently say, “While Laura Whitehorn has a legal right to speak, those who are sponsoring her thereby appear to hold a perverse set of values of which any decent human being should be ashamed and, as such, should be called to account for their true priorities.” Why is this thought so hard to understand?
