Almost all of the money raised in the Campaign for Duke has been earmarked f new buildings, professorship and initiatives; put toward the endowment; or already spent.

Manor loses commons after party by

Andrew Colons THE CHRONICLE

Wayne Manor has temporarily lost its commons space pending a review by the Undergraduate Judicial Board for alleged violations of University policy.

Assistant Dean for Judicial Affairs Stephen Bryan said the alleged violations, stemming from a party on Jan. 8, regard alcohol policy, noise policy, the Community Standard, event registration and unsafe and irresponsible behavior.

“We’re not disputing what they say; we do agree there were people in the commons room and there was amplified music,” said Wayne Manor President John MacDonald. “I have been told our punishment’s pretty consistent with prior sanctions to some of the other groups.”

Bryan said MacDonald has until Friday to submit a statement expressing the group’s take on the allegations, and a decision from the UJB should be forthcoming within a few weeks.

The selective house will be allowed to continue recruitment, though its efforts may be hamstrung by the loss of access to its commons space. The situation could change with a ruling from the UJB, said Director ofStudent ofActivities Deb Lo Biondo, depending on how quickly the case is resolved.

Neither Lo Biondo nor Residential Life and Housing Services Director Eddie Hull would comment on the exact nature or extent of the violations, but Hull intimated they were serious.

“If we take something away from the group, one can pretty reasonably assume that it’s a pretty serious matter,” he said.

Wayne Manor has been in trouble in the recent past. Back in 2002, an investigation found some members of the group guilty of violating the alcohol policy and of SEE WAYNE MANOR ON PAGE 6

Civil rights activist recognized by

Jennifer Hasvold THE CHRONICLE

Thirty years ago, Exalted Grand Cyclops of the Durham Ku Klux Klan C.P. Ellis was enlisted by a city council member to co-chair a community committee

addressing school desegregation problems. Ten days later, he tore up his Klan membership card in front of 1,000 people.

That is the power of friendship.

Ellis’s work on the committee landed him in a close al-

liance with his co-chair, Ann Atwater—one of Durham’s most outspoken civil rights activists—and he has been turning heads ever since. Duke recognized Ellis Monday for his work and achievement in racial reconciliation.

A former Duke maintenance employee, Ellis was an active Klan member during a time when Durham was embroiled in racial conflict. “Something was always going on; he had a lot of meetings,” said Vickie Lewis, Ellis’s daughter. “I worked in a drug store downtown when I was a teenager. I remember one time [when racial tensions were particularly high], he came to pick me up and there was a man in the back with a shotgun.

I was so embarrassed. He told me he wanted to make sure I was safe.”

Calif, scientists discover new matter by

James

Glanz

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

OAKIjVND, Calif.

A fleeting, ultradense state of matter, comparable in some respects to a bizarre kind of subatomic pudding, has been discovered deep within the core of ordinary gold atoms, scientists from Brookhaven National Laboratory said at a conference here Monday, The finding was described by some scientists here as a breakthrough in understanding the powerful, immensely complex forces that hold the building blocks of atomic nuclei—protons and

neutrons —together.

Evidence for the new

state

of mat-

ter lurned up when the scientists slammed heavy hydrogen, or deuterons, into the gold at nearly the speed of light and observed the spray of particles that flew out.

The data, from three separate particle detectors at Brookhaven’s Relativistic Heavy lon Collider, suggested that the tiny, hard, pointlike building blocks of the nucleus had briefly merged into a smeared-out pudding.

No such effect had ever been seen before, although some theorists had predicted that it might occur because of the notoriously shifty properties of matter at minuscule scales.

“This is nothing short of a major dis-

covery,” said Dmitri Kharzeev, a theoretical physicist at Brookhaven who was not involved in the experiments. “I think it’s going to trigger a real revolution in nuclear physics.”

The nuclear pudding, as strange as it is, has a simple structure and could turn out to be a universal property of nuclei speeding at high energies, Dr. Kharzeev said. The simplicity stands in sharp contrast to the messy and sometimes incomprehensible structure of many atomic nuclei. Studying the newly discovered state could let physicists cut through those complexities and find basic laws of nature.

'Spirit'to face biggest Mars test Thursday by

John Wilford

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Ever since the Spirit rover PASADENA, Calif. touched down on Mars on Jan. 3, workers have been arranging rocks of various sizes on a test field here to match the terrain in the latest pictures of the landing site. Before, the “sandbox,” as they call it, was a field of dreams. Now, a duplicate rover is rehearsing the first actual maneuvers of the most capable robot ever to traverse the surface of another world.

Early Thursday, if all goes well, nearly four years of design, development and practice driving here at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and on deserts something like Mars

will be put to the ultimate test. The 400-pound, six-wheel Spirit is to ease down a ramp from its landing base. Let the exploration begin.

Of all the scientists and mission officials at the control here, none will be following Spirit’s first moves with more of a sense of personal responsibility than Mark Maimone. He is a computer scientist and robotics specialist who, other scientists say, is the laboratory’s architect of the software for the rover’s operations.

“He’s the man of the hour when the rover goes to work,” said Steven Squyres of Cornell, the principal science investigator for the mission. center

Texas A&M abolishes legacies

by Greg Winter NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Last week, Texas A&M abolished its preferential admission policy for legacies, the relatives of alumni, calling it an “obvious inconsistency” in a system that is supposedly based on merit.

Yet the move has hardly ended the furor swirling around the university’s admission’s policies.

Local politicians had been outraged that the university continued to give special treatment to legacies, the vast majority of whom are white, while refusing to give the same consideration to minorities.

But ending legacies was not their goal.

In fact, the same politicians said Monday that scrapping the policy was a poor substitute for reinstating affirmative action as away to achieve diversity on campus.

“This discussion is far from over,” said state Rep. Garnet Coleman, a Democrat from Houston. ‘They act like they’ve done something for students of color by elimi-

nating the legacy program. They have not.

The new policy takes away the advantage of some students, but it does not remedy the obstacles faced by students of color and women.”

Texas A&M’s decision underscores the volatile relationship between affirmative action and legacies. While one has been the center of intense legal struggles, the other has often been cited as no less discriminatory but scarcely challenged in courts.

The outcry came because the university had decided against using affirmative action in admissions last month. That left it in the unusual position of rejecting race as a factor while still allowing family ties to influence the admissions process.

‘To be so adamant about race not being a factor and then to have such a large legacy program is hypocrisy,” said state Sen. Rodney Ellis, a Democrat from Houston. “It’s justso blatantly inconsistent that it defies common sense.”

Revoking the legacy program marked a

‘To be so adamant about race not being a factor and then to have such a large legacy program is hypocrisy.”

State Sen. Rodney Ellis step toward “consistency and equity,” Gates said in a statement last week.

Most of the nation’s colleges and universities are not selective enough to weigh an applicant’s race or alumni connections.

Of the few hundred or so institutions that are highly selective, several non-academic factors are usually considered simultaneously, including race, geography, legacy and sometimes even how generous a family may be to the university down the road.

At Texas A&M, most students are accepted on the strength of their academics, Gates said. He also said that while some alumni were frustrated by the elimination of the legacy program, most understood the reasons for doing away with it.

Wardropper was born in Leith, Scotland, in 1919. He grew up in Essex and Birmingham, England, studying in the latter at the King Edward School. He earned a bachelor’s of arts degree in 1939 and a master’s of arts degree in 1942 from Cambridge University.

He taught during World War II at the Wolmers School in Kingston, Jamaica, where he married Joyce Vaz in 1942. The couple moved to the United Statesafter the war where their son, lan Bruce, was bom.

Wardropper earned a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania in 1949, going on to teach at the Johns Hopkins University and at Ohio State University.

His wife, Joyce, died in 1959, during his stay at Ohio State. Wardropper married Nancy Palmer in 1960 after returning to

Johns Hopkins.

He is survived by his wife, his son, his daughter-in-law, Sarah McNear, and a granddaughter, Chloe.

Former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill testifies before the Senate Banking Committee in 2001. conference in lowa Monday that O’Neill’s account amounted to a “very serious allegation” against Bush. Sunday, after excerpts from the book were made public, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, another candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, said O’Neill’s account meant the president and his advisers “were dead set on going to war alone since almost the day they took office and deliberately lied to the American people, Congress, and the world.”

But administration officials said Bush was simply looking for more effective ways to carry out an established policy that had bipartisan backing, and that there was no early decision to go to war.

In 1998, Congress passed, with strong bipartisan support, the Iraq Liberation Act, which said the policy of the United States should be “to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.” President Bill Clinton signed it into law. Later that year, Clinton ordered airstrikes against Iraq on the eve of the House’s vote to impeach

him, citing Saddam’s efforts to thwart the work of U.N. weapons inspectors.

Bush, whose father had decided to allow Saddam to remain in power after the 1991 war to expel Iraq from Kuwait, had made clear even before taking office that he intended to step up efforts to oust the Iraqi leader.

Imam Sayed Hassan al-Qazwini, the religious leader of the Islamic Center ofAmerica in Detroit, one of the nation’s largest mosques, said in a telephone interview Monday that he had spoken to Bush six or seven times, before and after the 2000 election, about removing Saddam.

In a meeting at the White House on Jan. 29, 2001, the day before the first National Security Council meeting of the administration, he said, he met with Bush at the White House. The president, he said, was supportive of efforts to oust Saddam, but did not mention war as a means of doing so.

“No method was discussed at all,” Qazwini said. “It was a general desire for

regime change.”

Vicente Fox OKs new Bush immigration plan by

Patty

Reinert

and Dudley Althaus HOUSTON CHRONICLE

President Bush’s on-again, MONTERREY Mexico off-again friendship with Mexican President Vicente Fox appeared to be on again Monday.

After meeting on the sidelines of the Special Summit of the Americas, Fox offered strong support for Bush’s new immigration plan. The Mexican leader, who angered the White House last year by opposing the U.S. invasion of Iraq, also congratulated Bush on the capture of Saddam Hussein.

Bush invited Fox and his wife, Marta Sahagun, to visit his Texas ranch in early March. Fox’s spokesperson said Fox would like to make the trip, but it will have to be approved by the Mexican Congress.

Meanwhile, disagreements between Bush and other Latin American leaders threatened to make the two-day conference contentious.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez predicted the summit would be a waste of time.

He and several other South American leaders oppose Bush’s proposals to penalize corrupt nations by banishing them from the Organization of American States and to push through a hemispheric free trade agreement by 2005.

The summit, a gathering of the 34 democratically elected leaders of the Western Hemisphere, is to focus on economic growth and poverty reduction, as well as terrorism, corruption, health and education.

During the opening ceremony, Bush urged participants to work out ways of increasing credit for small businesses and decreasing the amount of time it takes to start a business in the region. He advocated decreasing the transaction costs for foreign workers in the United States who wish to send money home.

As expected, he also pushed for expanding free trade throughout the hemisphere and for denying safe haven for corrupt officials. Bush issued a proclamation Monday that denies entry into the United States of officials deemed to be corrupt, and he urged the other leaders to do the same.

First on Bush’s agenda, though, was patching up relations with Fox. The two presidents, who have disagreed on immigration, the death penalty and the war in Iraq, emerged smiling from an hourlong meeting Monday afternoon.

Fox, who last week offered a cautious endorsement of Bush’s immigration proposal, seemed to embrace it Monday, saying it is “a very important step forward.”

Bush’s proposal would grant illegal immigrants as well as new immigrants renewable three-year guest worker permits and calls for providing financial incentives to en-

courage immigrants to eventually return home.

“What else can we wish? What we want is the plan presented by President Bush,” Fox said during a joint news conference. ‘We hope the plan has a happy ending.”

Calling the immigration proposal “a sovereign matter of the United States,” Fox acknowledged the U.S. Congress still must .debate the issue and work out the details.

“We should give full time so that the idea—well, the idea should mature and it should definitely be approved,” he said.

Asked about his country’s opposition to the war in Iraq and the resulting chilling of relations between Fox and Bush, Fox downplayed the difference of opinion.

Saluting the United States’ capture of Saddam, Fox said, ‘We fully support that and we congratulate President Bush and the United States for that very important ac-

complishment, which is for the better of all nations, all families, all people in the world that we want to live in

peace without terrorism.”

Bush said Fox is “a good enough friend for him to be able to express his opinion to me without the loss of

friendship.”

“And he didn’t agree with the decision I made,” Bush said. “But the decision I made was the right one for America, and history will prove it’s the right one for the world.”

Despite warming relations with Mexico, Bush faced a cooler reception from the left-leaning governments of Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela.

Chavez, who has been long at odds with the United States, said that summits like these are merely “social gatherings.”

“I’m going to Monterrey to alert the world about the drama that is being carried out to say that I am an enemy of democracy and that it’s worthwhile to topple me or that someone puts a bullet in me,” Chavez told listeners ofhis regular weekly television and radio program.

“We’re certainly having trouble in South America right now,” said Richard Feinberg, a Latin America expert in the Clinton White House, who now teaches trade at the University of California in Berkeley.

“President Bush is not popular in the Western Hemisphere and Latin America,” Feinberg said. “And this idea of ‘you’re either with us or against us’ is a very polarizing concept as well.”

Later Monday, Bush met separately with Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Then he and first lady Laura Bush planned to attend a late-night dinner hosted by Fox.

MARS ROVER from page 2 Maimone has been preparing for this moment since 2000. Scientists told him they wanted a rover that could drive up to 300 feet a day. It had to be able to follow an itinerary sent each day to its computer, but also make onthe-spot decisions when faced with obstacles. At a distance of more than 100 million miles, meaning that round-trip radio signals take almost 20 minutes, Mars was too far away for ground controllers to do the driving.

His instructions, Maimone recalled, were “to make the rover smart and able to sense on its own its surroundings, the slope of terrain and any hazards in its way, which rocks to drive over or avoid.”

Other engineers were designing and building Spirit and its twin, Opportunity, scheduled to land on the opposite side of Mars on Jan. 24. Each is about 5 feet long, the size of a golf cart. The only previous rover sent to Mars, Sojourner in 1997, was 2 feet long and 22 pounds.

The new rover has metal wheels designed to make tight turns. The undercarriage holds a computer and other electronic controls. Extending from the body is a mechanical arm for reaching out to examine a rock or patch of soil in microscopic detail.

Above that are broad panels of solar cells to produce electricity to drive the motor and other systems. On the top deck are the main antennas for communications, a mast mounted with cameras for panoramic and three-dimensional photography and a set of remote-sensing scientific instruments. The mast and cameras were developed at Cornell, and twa of the spectrometers for analyzing rocks and soil were supplied by Germany.

The rover’s “eyes” are four dny cameras, two in front and two behind, that scan the immediate surface for hazards. What it sees is communicated to the on-board computer, which Maimone and a team of engineers have programmed with what-to-do instructions for all the contingencies they could think of.

The system was put to repeated trial runs here and in the Mojave Desert, resulting in numerous software modifications. The rover never ran off a cliff it came to and, in time, when instructed to drive from one point to another, it proved able to find the safest and shortest route on its own. It went around any rock more than 8 inches high and proceeded cautiously when going over a rise into terrain beyond what flight controllers had seen in

photography.

In the weeks ahead, the driving team and computer specialists will work closely with scientists to plan each day’s journey. After studying pictures and data of the previous day’s progress, scientists must decide where they want the rover to go and what they want it to do.

The driving team will translate the plan into specific commands to the rover.

“We will tell the rover to go to point xy and stop at this or that rock along the way for a set amount of time to use the robotic arm or perform other scientific tests,” Maimone said. “We won’t know how successful it was until we hear from it when the day’s travels are complete and it transmits a report in data and pictures.”

Spirit is expected to spend only four hours exploring in the middle of each Martian day. Scientists and engineers at the control center are envious.

“This rover has a good deal,” Maimone said. “We humans spend 20 hours a day planning and analyzing, and Spirit only has to spend a few hours on its job.”

Scientists on the $BOO million mission have high expectations but are well aware of the challenges.

SANFORD INSTITUTE OF PU B LIC POLICY

DUKE

4 pm Wednesday January 14,2004 Fleishman Commons Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy US. Senator Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), a member of the United States Senate since 1976 and currently Chairman ofthe Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has had a distinguished career as a national and international leader. His Sanford Distinguished Lecture, “The United States Rediscovers the World,” draws on his longstanding advocacy of U.S. leadership in the world, robust national security, free trade and economic growth. Senator Lugar has been a leader in reducing the threat ofnuclear, chemical and biological weapons. In 1991, he forged a bipartisan partnership with then-Senate Armed Services Chairman, Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction in the former Soviet Union. To date, the Nunn-Lugar program, also known as the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, has deactivated nearly 6,000 nuclear warheads that were once aimed at the United States.

The Terry Sanford Distinguished Lecture was endowed by a gift to the university from the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust in honor of the late Terry Sanford, who served as North Carolina governor and U.S. senator, and as Duke’s president for 16 years. Sanford also was the founder of the Institute that now bears his name.

The event is free and open to the public.

Roof

blazing

on recruiting

trail Any lingering concerns regarding the validity of Duke’s hiring of Ted Roof as head football coach have been completely shattered in the past few weeks. Inside the program,

people are lauding Roof as a superlative motivator and organizer, characteristics which have helped him to pull in multiple football recruits that have managed to turn some heads in the world of college football pundits.

Still, my optimism—and that of anyone else that follows Duke athletics—is tempered with a pessimistic historical precedent. This is, after all, Duke football.

But the negative connotation which has gone hand in handwith the Blue Devils on the gridiron is now being lost on many highly-touted recruits. The reason springs from Roof, whose ability to unite his team has created tributaries that are flowing from California to New York, flooding some of the top football-playing student-athletes in America with the once-silly notion that Duke can win on the football field.

For example, Justin Boyle, a young man from Georgia with 4.5 speed and a 6-foot-l, 210-pound frame, denied interest from SECpowers Auburn and Arkansas to play for the Blue Devils.Then there was Cameron Goldberg, who gave California and Stanford the cold shoulder in favor of the Blue Devils.

But the icing on the cake came tonight, with the announcements from wide receiver Ronnie Drummer and offensive guard Izzy Bauta that they would also be coming to play in Wallace Wade. Drummer has been clocked at 4.21 in the 40-yard dash, and Bauta turned down offers from behemoths Ohio State and Maryland.

Pay no attention to my naivete, however.

Consider theinsiders.com’s analysis of Duke’s recruiting class to date, which was ranked No. 22 out of 24 schools in the region as ofyesterday afternoon, before the Drummer and Bauta commitments; “\feah, Duke is near the bottom, what else is new? This is what’s new...

Ted Roof has already picked up some outstanding players on a class that is going to be short on numbers, and they are head to head with some of the big boys in the SEC and ACC for their final slots. Duke is going to close with a bang this year instead of a whisper.”

Plus, Roof recendy hired an exceptional recruiter and offensive coach from Stanford—and an NFL mind may be on the way.

So if Duke can sell its football program, its academic supremacy and coaching staff will take it a long way—much like at Stanford.

The Blue Devil football program still has many miles to go before it can rest upon its laurels, but at least it has finally emerged from the murky waters of mediocrity.

SOMETHING ABOUT

Sean Dockery’s energy, quickness and defensive enthusiasm has earned him big-time minutes—mot to mentio, a great deal of respect from his peers.

Head coach Mike Krzyzewski provides some advice to Sean Dockery.

by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

His eyes latch on to the defender and he takes a defensive position akin to the one your high school coach always demanded of you, but you never could quite achieve. As the rest of the Duke team looks at his back and watches him make the calculated steps of adjustment to maintain his athletic stance, the intensity builds.

Sean Dockery’s presence on the court takes the defense to that so-called next level. He inspires his teammates and simultaneously holds up his end of the bargain. The 6-foot-l point guard is defense first—just how Krzyzewski likes it.

‘The guys say they love it,” Dockery said about his ferocious on-the-ball defense. “When I put pressure on a player it motivates them. It kind of brings our team together and when I am doing that for our team I feel good about it.”

While Dockery is a tremendous defensive player, it is this emotional intangible that may be his most valuable attribute.

“When you see Sean go into the game, your eyes light up,” said Shavlik Randolph, who admits Dockery’s presence has a measurable effect on his defense.

Krzyzewski sees the reaction of the Blue Devils when Dockery steps on the floor and matches up with his man.

Dockery’s minutes are up to 17 per game this season from 10.5 last year.

“When he comes in you may have been out there three or four or five minutes and all ofa sudden you got this kid playing real hard,” Krzyzewski said. “It makes you play a little bit harder.”

Yet this energy boost does not tell the full story of Dockery’s effect on the Blue Devils’ defense. The insertion of Dockery into the lineup allows Chris Duhon to play off the ball where, according to Krzyzewski, he is the SEE DOCKERY ON PAGE 12

Duke picks up two major recruits Lineman chooses Duke

Ohio State; RB has recorded 4.2 40-yard dash

Trio shines in Florida tourney by

Catherine Sullivan THE CHRONICLE

by

Michael Mueller and Mike Corey THE CHRONICLE

Head football coach Ted Roof has his first two commitments from the previous recruiting weekend, each of whom figures to impact Duke’s recruiting rankings considerably.

“I verbally committed to Duke,” said Ronnie Drummer, a 5-foot9, 165-pound running back who reported running a 4.2 40-yard dash at Florida State camp last summer. He cited academics and coach Roof as major reasons for his commitment.

Drummer opted for the Blue Devils over an offer from Wyoming, and consideration from Notre Dame, California, Colorado, Kansas State But perhaps the bigger catch—more literally—was Izzy Bauta, an offensive lineman from Poly Prep in New York. Bauta, whose brother Lavdrim is a redshirt freshman at Duke, turned down scholarships from Rutgers, South Florida, Maryland and 2002 National Champion, Ohio State.

In an interview with Buckeye Sports Bulletin, Bauta said, “I committed to Duke earlier today.

Duke had a lot of stuff I was looking for. I think they are going to turn the program around. I felt comfortable there. Plus my brother is an offensive guard there.”

Bauta has cancelled his scheduled visits to Rutgers and South Florida, respectively. He had already been to the campuses of Maryland and Ohio State for his official visits.

A 6-foot-4, 275-pounder, Bauta led his high school to an 8-1 record, and is the No. 47 offensive guard prospect in America.

Drummer’s decision appeared to focus on Duke’s educational

strength.

“There aren’t many schools that are academically as great as Duke,” the Salinas, Ca., speedster said. “Nobody’s really guaranteed to make it to the NFL, and I know that if I graduate from [Duke] I have some pretty good job offers waiting. A degree from Duke is

always impressive.”

“I can tell that...he really did a tremendous job,” Drummer said of Roof. “I can tell that the players really trust him and I felt that from talking to him just for a few days that he knows what he’s doing.”

Drummer rushed for 1,800 yards and 19 touchdowns last year for North Salinas High School. One of the fastest players in the state of California, Drummer placed in the 100-m and 200-m dashes at the state track meet. In addition to his jaw-dropping 4.2 second 40-yard dash he has also clocked a 4.34 second 40-yard dash at a Nike camp. Despite the verbal commitment, however, he plans on taking one more official visit.

Drummer is the twelfth football commitment in the class of 2004 and the first from a mammoth Blue Devil football recruiting weekend. Roof welcomed 20 Blue Devil recruiting targets to the Gothic Wonderland this weekend in addition to announcing the hiring of former Stanford offensive coordinator David Kelly.

“He came over to the program because he really believes in coach Roof,” Drummer said of Duke’s newest assistant coach. “They think they can win.”

Drummer also mentioned Jon Haskins, a current Blue Devil graduate assistant, as one of the coaches with whom he had contact. Additionally, Drummer talked with San Jose, Ca., quarterback Darrin Bragg and Buford, Ga., linebacker Zach Smith and “a few linemen” on his visit.

The California track star also hinted at possible future Blue Devil coaching announcements, including a possible NFL hiring.

“There was one coach from the Arizona Cardinals,” Drummer mentioned. “I think he was offensive coordinator.”

Drummer’s comments echo those spoken by Bauta just two days ago, when Bauta said, ‘The New OC is a former Arizona Cardinals coach.”

Several women's tennis players got an early jump on the spring season last weekend, competing in the qualifying rounds of the Florida Council on Economic Education SIOK Grand Slam in Tampa Bay, Fla. Representing Duke were freshman Tory Zawaki and Kristin Cargill, as well as junior Saras Arasu.

Zawaki, who is ranked No. 769 on the WTA Tour, was seeded 11th in the qualifying event. The Union, NJ. native had the most success of the trio, winning her first two matches before falling 63, 6-2 to Japan's Kokoro Takehara in the final round of qualifying on Monday.

"I hadn't played any matches since the end of the fall season because I pulled a stomach muscle, so I was nervous and excited coming in," Zawaki said. "I didn't play my best tennis, but it was a good warm up. It made me realize what I need to work on."

Over the weekend, Zawaki defeated American Angela Piedrahita 64, 6-2 and Austrian Anna Bartenstein 7-5, 3-6, 6-0 in what will likely be her last professional event until after the college season.

THE CHRONICLE

2004

DOCKERY from page 9 team’s best off-the-ball defender.

“Putting him on the ball handler helps our team a lot,” a complimentary Duhon said. “He is probably our best on-theball defender and it gives me an opportunity to go off the ball and get in the passing lanes and hopefully we can cause some corruption there.”

The corruption is evident. Duhon’s off-the-ball defense, in conjunction with Dockery guarding the ball, has resulted in more steals, errant passes and other offensive miscues by the opponent. Duhon is averaging 2.77 steals per game, almost a steal above his previous season average, while the team is averaging almost two more steals per game versus last year.

The Duhon-Dockery relationship is strong, aided by this defensive collaboration. The two have been in search of names for each other that reflect their defensive tenacity. To date the point guards have been more successful with defense than with the art of nicknames.

Still, having each other as an opponent and a competitor in practice has been beneficial to both players, the fruits of which have been seen on the court this season.

“The thing is that we push each other in practice,” Duhon said. “We go against each other. It helps me become a better player and it helps him become a better player. I am just trying to give him the extra things that he needs to push his game to another level.”

“He has been there for me all the time,” Dockery said. “He has been there to motivate me on defense. He knows that with both of us in the game we can bring the intensity up.”

While Dockery is a natural defender, he has much to learn from his elder Duhon about becoming an offensive weapon and championship-winning floor leader. Dockery is the first to admit that the offensive side of the ball is much harder for him. While seeing action the all of the teams 33 games last season, he only marshaled 3.3 points per game, attempting fewer than three shots each contest. His scoring average is up to 4.4 points per game this season—still far from an offensive juggernaut.

“I work on my offense as much as I work on my defense.

I am just trying to see if it is working now,” Dockery said with a grin after the Blue Devils rout of Fairfield when he saw 20 minutes ofaction and netted seven points.

Confidence offensively may be one of the lacking elements for Dockery, but the combination of defensive accolades and improvements in practice may be turning this around.

“I am gaining confidence from my teammates,” he said.

Likely more important than scoring for this Duke team is Dockery’s ability to run the offense and allow Duhon to, at times, become more of a scorer.

“I work on that role a lot—being a point guard when Chris is off the ball—because Chris can play as well as he can play at point guard off the ball so that helps the team and it brings it along,” Dockery said.

It is also likely that Dockery’s play has been very helpful for Duhon’s vast improvements over last season. Defending off the ball requires less energy than pressure on the ball, allowing Duhon to reserve energy. The same goes for Duhon not having to bring the ball up the floor each possession. Also, when Dockery runs the offense, Duhon can look for his shot more, increasing the team’s offensive output.

Dockery’s play of late has been somewhat surprising.

Many in the media speculated that he was considering transferring when Michael Thompson announced his decision to leave the program in December.

Until recently, the McDonalds All-American point guard had not lived up to the expectations that were garnered when he came to Duke as a member of the freshman-six last season. Critics were further disappointed when fellow potential point guard recruits Gerry McNamara and Anthony Roberson flourished at Syracuse and Florida, respectively.

With Duhon’s graduation at the end of this season and Dockery’s improved play, the starting point guard position next year would appear to be his. However, due to a pair of highly-touted recruits, Dockery could potentially remain a four-year role player. 6-foot-7 point guard Sean Livingston has committed to play at Duke next season, and if he lives up to his billing—and does not skip college for the NBA—he may start from day one. For the 2005-06 campaign, Krzyzewski has attracted Greg Paulus, another top-rated floor general who will play for the Blue Devils.

Yet, even if Dockery never emerges as Duke’s true starting point guard, his defensive contributions—tangible and intangible —are enough to make him a critical piece of this and future Blue Devil teams. And when Krzyzewski needs a stop to seal a critical game, Dockery will likely be there, staring down the opponent and shuffling his feet.

The only other Duke player in the event, Arasu, played a pair of Americans over the weekend. She picked up a 6-2, 6-2 win over 15thseed Beau Jones in her first match, but she lost a tight 7-5, 6-4 contest in round two against Alexandra Liles.

Zawaki, Cargill and Arasu will help the women's team kick offits spring season next weekend when it faces Baylor and Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn.

"I’m so excited for my first college match," Zawaki said. "It's going to be a whole new experience for me.

We want to do really well this year."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DUPS quick to issue tickets, slow to help It was 20 degrees outside when I was walking to my car in the Blue Zone Sunday morning. On the way, I noticed a girl pulled over to the side, apparendy trying to get a thick layer of ice off of her windshield.

Unfortunately, her wipers were ineffective. didn’t have anything on me to help her, so I I smiled at her and made a gesture of support.

She smiled back. Five minutes later I was in my car, driving back towards the Blue Zone gate, and there she was, standing out in the cold and still struggling.

Right then a Duke parking officer driving towards her went right past her without so much as even slowing down.

I lent her my scraper to help her get on her way, but I was really incensed, as she was standing outside in the cold with her caudon lights on.

I don’t think any Duke students are surprised that even in subfreezing weather, DUPS Officers will get out of the warmth of their cars to issue parking fines. I saw a few of those that morning too.

But serving people in distress? I guess since there’s no revenue involved, it’s not important to them.

Sororities should respect dorm residents A note to the sororities who have decided that the first floor of my dormitory is their common space; Please leave. Your presence is obnoxious.

I understand that the commons rooms are available for use by any groups who request them. You however, have abused that

privilege.

I am tired of having to listen to your shrieks while in my room, as well as when I exit and enter the building. Free reign to block the stairwell is not included in your use of the commons room. Nor is the stairwell to be used as a closet for coat storage.

This is a place where other people live. You seem to have forgotten that in the process of your activities.

Personally, I would love to see rush events moved far from where I live. It is unfortu-

that you are not allowed to have your own sections like fraternities. This would eliminate these problems.

However, in absence of this, you should fine some place else to hold your gatherings.

I know that this University is overflowing with available space to hold such activities.

Many of these are not located where people live. These spots would allow you to be as noisy and space-wasting as you want without hassling the rest of the population who live and work in the residence halls.

Since you appear to be so wrapped up in your own social world, you apparently forgot common courtesy and manners. nate

Letters lack meaningful criticism Utterly heartbreaking. Regrettable and unfortunate. Depressing and distressing.

These expressions certainly do describe the emotions elicited by the three letters published on Jan. 9 in response to Shadee Malaklou’s Jan; 7th column, “Words from the black book.”

It is unfortunate that we feel the need to condemn a person simply because her views and lifestyle differ from that of our own. What does it say about us as a student body when our editorials consist of students taking shots at each other?

I was dismayed to read these letters not because I agree with Malaklou’s views, but rather because I was unable to find any constructive criticism or relevant response.

These letters were littered with ad hominem implications regarding Malaklou’s lifestyle, self-esteem and mental stability, as well as a critique of the more general Hollywood

image of the modern women. There were no real counter- arguments to be found.

Esther Houseman suggested an equally disturbing gold-digger lifestyle, insisting her man treat her to a fancy dinner or formal; Brianne Ehrlich misrepresents Malaklou’s column as a personal ad and then expresses embarrassment on her behalf; and Anthony Collins, after alienating his entire gender, shamelessly turns the editorial section of our beloved newspaper into a transparent personal ad for himself. But seriously, where in any of these letters is there any constructive response?

Consider this a plea to those of you who are inclined to write into The Chronicle in the future to keep your comments constructive and relevant, and spare us the trash talking and personal ads. Thank you.

I had a chance to briefly meet him last fall, article accompanying the illustration. According to Moneta, the work the firm has and he seemed like a competent man. He is done in Cincinnati is representative of the member of Moneta’scabinet direcdy overwhat he wants in the plaza. seeing the creation of the new student plaza.

In the Oct. 27 Chronicle, Assistant Vice Usually, I like to trust professionals. A firm President for Student Affairs Zoila Airall like Hargreaves, especially, should be perfectly capable ofdesigning an acceptable student said that “she has utmost confidence in

Heinselman to coordinate a center students will like, in great part because he has shown an ability to communicate well with all parties involved—from architects and contractors to undergraduate and graduate students.”

I do not, on the other hand, have utmost confidence in DSG. It took the Visions of Duke survey to make them realize that it is their job to reach out to students.

The Chronicle reported the reaction of DSG Attorney General Dave Kahne: “Kahne said he had come to a realization about DSG’s role in obtaining feedback. “A lot of people in student government say students are apathetic... [but] maybe it’s our job, maybe we should be actively trying to get their support than making them try to come to us,” he said.”

No crap.

Campus Council has filled the void left

by DSC. With Anthony Vitarelli (and previously Andrew Nurkin) in charge, they have

represented students better, and have achieved more, than DSG under three consecutive presidents. But on the subject of the plaza they have been silent.

Unless DSG and Campus Council step up, the burden of explaining Piazza Moneta to us regular students falls on Heinselman. I am confident he can handle that.

But please, Gregg, give us a blueprint A model. A sketch.

“Construction is a recurring theme at a young institution like Duke, and students should learn to live with it,” the Chronicle once wrote in an editorial. I am certainly willing to live with it, but I need to know what is going on.

In the meanwhile, I recommend everyone tries to find a room as far away from the walkway as possible. Next semester, construction will once again be drastic.

National security or silencing dissent?

Shortly

after the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks in 2001 the would not be allowed to fly that day. When he asked why, he U.S. government created the Transportation Security was told it was because of a conversation (clearly monitored) he had with two other gentlemen in which he stated, “Bush Administration (TSA). Its stated mission is to “prois as dumb as a rock.” tects) the Nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.” However, it Flabbergasted, Stuber still complied and went home. The soon became a controversial organization for doing the next day he returned again at Gam for an 11:45am flight, and exact opposite: preventing ordinary American citizens from was forced to purchase a same-day ticket for $2,600 (up from his original $670 fair). One hour before departure, Stuber free movement via air within the U.S. and abroad. of the who were was approached by the same police officer Yet, most people prewho had escorted him out of the airport the vented from traveling and came forward to tell their stories did have one thing in comprevious day, and asked to step aside. After mon that made them stand out from your one hour of questioning with this officer, all members Stuber was introduced to two secret service average Joe traveler; they were of political organizations on the left who agents who proceeded to grill him on the were actively denouncing U.S. policies at politics and positions of the Green Party.

When Stuber asked if they really believed home and abroad.

After repeatedly denying the existence the Green Party to be equivalent to al Qaeda Yousuf Al-Bulushi of a “no-fly list,” the TSA finally admitted in its threat to national security he was that they had assembled a list of approxishown a Justice Department list of numerous Action and Reaction American political organizations deemed as mately 1,000 people who are deemed “threats to aviation,” and are therefore likely terrorist threats that included the never to be allowed to fly on an airplane. Apparently, the Greens, Amnesty International, Earth First! and Greenpeace.

TSA has no official procedures for who is placed on the list, At the end of the conversation, Stuber was taken back to but instead relies upon names given to them by a range of the Delta counter to receive a new boarding pass. But upon other federal agencies. Even more worrisome, there are also boarding for this last flight, he was again pulled out of line no official procedures in place for removing one’s name by the same police officer and told he couldn’t fly out of RJDU. Instead, he was encouraged to try Greensboro airport, from the no-fly list.

The example that should hit home most strongly for us where no one would know him. Stuber proceeded to try and depart via Greensboro and Charlotte, but was told at both regards the case of Doug Stuber, a Hillsborough, N.C., resident. Stuber is an artist by profession, but is also wellknown places that he was not permitted to fly domestically or interhere for having organized the Green Party’s Ralph Nader’s nationally. He was grounded.

In Stuber’s case, it seems he has gained his own spot on the presidential campaign in North Carolina in 2000. Stuber was prevented from flying out of our very own Raleigh-Durham no-fly list But other political activists have been singled out and Airport, where he was trying to catch a flight to Europe in excessively harassed or prevented from flying only temporarily, order to collect a number of artists for a Henry James colimplying the existence ofanother TSA list of potential dangers to lection in Raleigh. With his ticket in hand, Stuber was told he aviation, that is not specifically a no-fly list Those in this category

include Barbara Olshansky, assistant legal director for the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York. Three times she was forced to pull down her pants in full view of other passengers. Once, when she questioned them as to why she was repeatedly being singled out, theresponse from the airline agent was “The computer spit you out.”

Others in this category include a 74-year-old nun and member of Peace Action, Virgine Lawinger. Lawinger was on her way, along with around 20 other activists, from Milwaukee to Washington to lobby the Wisconsin members of congress against military aid to Colombia. At the airport the ticketing agents along with the local sheriffs deputies told her that at least one of them was on a list and that the ISA had asked that they be kept off their plane. Lawinger filed a Freedom of Information request with the TSA demanding to know if they had files on her. The TSA did admit to having a file on her, but a month later refused to release any of it except for a local newspaper clipping on file about her experience at the Milwaukee airport.

There are many more accounts of people being targeted at airports for their political views. The ACLU is currently documenting these cases as people become more willing to come forward with their stories. While it seems logical that a department like TSA would have a list of actual terror suspects who would be prevented from flying, the above cases along with others are causing citizens to raise their eyebrows. Unlike popular opinion, it is in times such as these that citizens should be most interrogative of their government, demanding strict adherence to the Constitution. Additionally, an increased public awareness is needed on how governments throughout history—both American and foreign—have attempted to take advantage of widespread fear to use the jargon of national security in order to silence political dissent.
