Patriots dash Panthers' dreams with field goal by

Damon Hack

NEW YORK TIMESNEWS service

Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri celebrates with his teammates after kicking the game-winning field goal.

HOUSTON Like great kickers before him, Adam Vinatieri kept his head down and swung his right leg through to impact with the football, lifting it high above the outstretched arms of the Carolina Panthers from 41 yards out, the final salvo in a taut battle of the NFL’s best teams Sunday night.

When the ball went through the uprights with four seconds remaining in Bowl XXXVIII, Super Vinatieri and the Patriots had defeated the Panthers, 32-29, at Reliant Stadium, giving New England its second NFL title in three seasons, Vinatieri also won the Super Bowl in 2002 with a game-ending field goal, and this kick concluded a frantic final seven minutes of what had begun as a defensive struggle. After New England went ahead by 21-10, the lead changed three times in the final 6 minutes 53 seconds.

New England quarterback Tom Brady

was named the game’s most valuable player for the second time. He finished the game 32 for 48 passing for 354 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception, Under the direction of coach Bill Belichick, the former Giants and Jets defensive coordinator, New England has forged the makings of a dynasty in a salary-cap era designed to create competition in the NFL, not

legacies.

The game’s dramatic finish came after two unexpectedly dramatic incidents at halftime. First, JanetJackson’s right breast was exposed at the end of her duet with Justin Timberlake when he pulled off part of her top. Then, before the second-half kickoff, a man dressed as a referee stripped down to an athletic supporter and shoes and danced on the field before Patriots linebacker Matt Chatham and then the police stopped him.

That delayed the game, which was slow SEE PATRIOTS ON PAGE 6

General Motors Chair and CEO Richard Wagoner, Trinity ’75, wants to clear up a rumor. He was never a superstar on the Duke men’s basketball team.

“All these automotive writers, [who are] not students of Duke basketball, want to make me sort of the Michael Jordan of Duke of that era,” Wagoner said during Saturday’s keynote speech for the Career Center’s annual conference, acknowledging that he did play on the freshman basketball team while he was here as an undergraduate economics major.

“I learned pretty quickly that I would not be pursuing a career in the NBA,” Wagoner joked.

The address, conducted as a questionand-answer session with Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta, showcased Wagoner’s focus on balance: The equilibrium the University prides itself on between academics and athletics mirrors the relationship between his own work SEE WAGONER ON PAGE

Throngs of pantsuit and blazer-clad students bustled through the arteries of the Bryan Center Saturday, their eager voices echoing through the building and the heels of their well-polished oxford shoes tapping the floor rapid-fire style.

After filing through the requisite lines to receive their complimentary continental breakfasts and the “Making Connections” registration handbook, the future leaders of the world took one last look at their neon blue schedules and dashed off, briskly and professionally, to their respective panel locations, ranging from Perkins’ Breedlove room to Von Canon Room B. With this seemingly smooth and hiccup-free morning, the first annual Career Week Conference Day had officially begun—and for four of the 1,560 registered students, the day was about discovering possibilities for the future.

Down two flights of stairs from the registration booths and inside the Multicultural Center sat sophomore Annick Chariot, who decided to attend the-Career Week panels for the common reason of receiving more guidance and direction for a career—which for her, a tutor and volunteer at a local community center, is the education field.

Attacks kill over 50 in northern Iraq CHEHEREZADE pARAMARZI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two suicide bombers with explosives wired to their bodies struck the offices of the country’s two main Kurdish parties in nearly simultaneous attacks Sunday, killing at least 56 people and wounding over 235 in the deadliest assault in Iraq in six months.

The attacks struck in the Kurdish heartland and took a heavy toll among senior leaders of Iraq’s most pro-American ethnic group.

Elsewhere, an American soldier was killed and 12 were wounded in a rocket attack on a base in Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. command said.

IRBIL, Iraq

The death raised the number of U.S. service members who have died since the Iraq conflict began in March to 523.

The Irbil attackers slipped into the offices of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union ofKurdistan along with hundreds of well-wishers gathering for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice.

Kurdish television said both bombers were dressed as Muslim clerics.

Leaders of both parties, whose militias fought alongside U.S. soldiers during the invasion of Iraq last year, were receiving hundreds of visitors to mark the start of the four-day holiday when the blasts went off.

Guards said they did not search peo-

ple because of the tradition of receiving guests during the holiday. Neither party’s top leader—Jalal Talabani of the

PUK and Massoud Barzani of the KDP was in Irbil when the attacks occurred.

Although Iraq has suffered numerous suicide bombings in recent months, the attack Sunday marked the first time perpetrators have worn explosives rather than using vehicles.

Sunday’s blasts came a day after a car bomb outside a police station in the northern city of Mosul killed at least nine people. Hours later, a mortar attack hit a Baghdad neighborhood, killing five people and wounding four.

Flights canceled amid terror concerns by

Jennifer Kerr

WASHINGTON Six U.S.-bound flights from England, Scotland and France were canceled Saturday because of security concerns. The U.S. government said it had fresh indications of al Qaeda’s continued interest in targeting commercial planes flying to the United States.

British Airways grounded the same flight scheduled Sunday and Monday from London’s Heathrow Airport to Dulles International Airport outside Washington, as well as the return flights. Also canceled was a flight from London to Miami Sunday. In addition, Continental Airlines said it canceled Flight 17 for Sunday from Glasgow, Scotland, to

Los Angeles with an intermediate stop in Newark, NJ. Air France scrubbed the same flight set for Sunday and Monday from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to Dulles. As a result, the outbound flights were canceled.

A U.S. government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said there were concerns about a handful of flights on those foreign carriers and a U.S.-based airline that flies internationally. The official declined to identify the third carrier, which turned out to be Continental.

“We continue to receive threats reporting that indicates al Qaeda’s desire to target international aviation,” said Brian Roehrkasse, spokesperson for the Homeland Security Department.

DUPD awaits city approval, 6 new officers by

Ruby Drakeford enjoys attention from three younger generations of her family present at her 112th birthday celebration.

Durham resident 112-years young by

Jennifer Hasvold THE CHRONICLE

What happened in 1892? Grover Cleveland was elected to serve his second presidential term, Congress extended the Chinese Exclusion Act and Ruby Drakeford was bom.

Drakeford, Trinity College T2, celebrated her 112th birthday with family and friends at Hillcrest Convalescent Center Sunday. She is the oldest documented person in North Carolina.

Drakeford was bom in Durham on Morris Street, the oldest of six children, and has been a life-long Durham resident, aside from living one year in Mt. Olive. She graduated from Durham High School in 1908 and went on to attend Trinity College.

After graduating from Trinity, which would later became Duke University in 1924, Drakeford worked as a school teacher for 40 years in the Durham school district, spending many of those years teaching fifth grade at Edgemont Elementary School.

She met her husband, William Drakeford, at a bridge party. William Drakeford passed away in 1957—they had no children.

In 1991, Drakeford was admitted to Hillcrest to recov-

er from a broken hip. “When she recovered she liked the attention so much she decided not to go home,” said Curtis Booker, whose mother is Drakeford’s cousin. As a school teacher, Drakeford made a number offriends who, when coming to visit family, stop to visit with her as well.

Members of the First Baptist Church, where Drakeford is a member, had planned the party for January 25, her actual birthday, but the celebration was postponed due to inclement weather. The celebration was at Hillcrest Convalescent Center, where Drakeford has been a resident for 13 years.

“She’s been looking forward to [the party],” said Erin Perillo, activities director for Hillcrest. Guests included old friends and young ones. Sloane Gunter, 2-years old, came to give her great-great aunt a home-made birthday card.

“As a child, I visited Ruby all the time. She had a wicked sense of humor which was great,” Booker said.

“She is just a consummate lady.”

Drakeford’s father, James Markham, worked as a mail carrier and her mother, Anna Leigh Markham, was a school teacher. Her mother was born at Leigh Farm, which was acquired in 1995 by Triangle Land Conservancy to be part of a planned 86-acre historic and environmental park.

If residents living off East Campus have not yet noticed the Duke University Police Department.patrolling in their neighborhood, there’s a good reason—those patrols haven’t started yet.

The patrols, announced at the beginning of the academic year and originally slated to begin in January, are still on hold pending the city’s final approval of its contract with the University. DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead expects the agreement to be ratified at the City Council’s meeting tonight.

After the contract passes, Duke patrols will begin in areas surrounding East Campus, but will be limited until DUPD can hire the additional five or six officers it has predicted it will need.

“We will go ahead and provide assistance and patrol coverage in the immediate areas surrounding campus,” Birkhead said, “but ideally we’d have those officers on board so we can assist the city as much as possible.”

The hiring of the new officers has proven more difficult than expected, due to a regional shortage of police recruits.

“We’ll hire them as quickly as we can hire them,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “I’d like it to be a little bit faster, but the issue here, which is getting the authority for Duke police to patrol off campus, has been talked about to Duke 14 years ago. So [despite] the since I first fact that it isn’t moving as quickly in terms of the hiring process... I think it’s moving Just fine.”

Burness noted that many local law enforcement agencies are having difficulty recruiting new police officers, so DUPD is in essence competing with state and local police departments for the same new recruits.

Lt. Norman Blake of the Durham Police Department declined to comment on the status of his organization’s' current recruiting process, but noted that they were constantly working to lure new officers.

“We’re in the process of trying to make our department competitive so we can attract qualified applicants,” he said.

While the shortage might mean delays in implementing patrols offEast, Birkhead stressed that DUPD would not compromise its hiring standards in order to fill the SEE POLICE ON PAGE 5

Rowland warns of CFCs’ role in global warming by

Steve Veres

THE CHRONICLE

On a cold January afternoon, with slush and ice still cemented to the ground, Sherwood Rowland, Nobel laureate and honorary Duke alumnus, spoke about the dangers of global warming in a lecture titled “The Changing Atmosphere in 2004.”

Rowland warned that the worldwide temperature has risen one degree Fahrenheit in the last century, with one-half of a degree in the last two decades alone. The temperature record worldwide has been broken every year.

“Only in recent times, within the last 30 years, have we had the precision of measurement where we can find compounds of

interest [related to the green house effect],” Rowland said.

For instance, the presence of trichlorofluoromethane—a chloroflourocarbon, or CFC—has increased in the atmosphere from untraceable levels in 1960 to a major threat today, Rowland said.

The CFC gases are created by human producdon, such as cattle raising and rice cultivation. When the gases reach the stratosphere, the chloride reacts with the ozone to produce devastating effects: More infrared light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere, raising global temperatures.

Unlike other CFCs, trichlorofluoromethane is not filtered through light, rain and other chemical reactions, and re-

mains in the atmosphere for decades. The gas molecules continue to destroy the atmosphere during this time.

“It has been proven that regulations can work to lower the presence of CFCs, but not all countries can do it, and the United states doesn’t seem to want to be a part of any of it,” Rowland said. “If any part of the climate changes, it is a change away from what we have in the present circumstances.

We are unable to predict where things will get warmer. A change in climate might be advantageous to some, but on the whole it will not be good.”

Hosted by the Phi Lambda Upsilon society, the lecture filled the Fritz London Lecture Hall, where it was originally scheduled to be held, and was moved to a much larger room.

“He was very gracious to accept to come here, and we were really excited in having him here,” said Laurel Goj, a graduate student in chemistry and head of the Phi Lambda Upsilon society.

Rowland, the first and current chair of chemistry at the University of CaliforniaIrvine, has received numerous awards for his work on CFCs and atmospheric chemistry. He won the American Chemical Society award, the Roger Revelle Medal in 1994 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1995.

Junior Margaret Wat said she was excit-

Ed to be meeting one of her heroes, on whom she wrote a chapter in “Portraits of Great American Scientists,” a book project led by 1988 physics Nobel laureate Leon Lederman. “It’s nice to actually meet someone in person who I wrote about. I think that his story is really science at its best,” Wat said. “It was a good presentation.”

However, some were left unsatisfied by the lecture, noting that they had hoped to hear original information rather than a recap of current knowledge.

“I was disappointed that the lecture, was only a review [of global warming and CFCs] and that no new information was presented,” said Duke alumna Nancy McLaughlin. “He was here 10 years ago and presented the same information.”

James Bonk, director of undergraduate studies in the chemistry department, felt that even though the material may not have been fresh, it was still a good lecture.

“He did a nice job of balancing the information between people that knew very little [of the subject] and people that knew a lot,” Bonk said.

Rowland, when asked how worried people should be about globalwarming in their everyday lives, responded with a comforting answer. “Is anything drastic going to happen in 2005? Probably not,” he said. “But global warming is very much a reality.”

Four cars broken into From staff reports Four cars were broken into on Central Campus between Wednesday evening and Friday morning, with individual (s) stealing audio equipment and other items.

The crimes occurred mere blocks from the Duke University Police Department headquarters on Oregon Street. Two of the cars were parked on Oregon Street, one was on Alexander Street and one was on Pace Street.

Multiple break-ins in one night are rare for Duke. This is the first time this academic year that four nearby cars have been broken into in one 24-hour period.

The compromised vehicles were all mid-1990s model sedans; the roster included a 1995 Acura, a 1993 Ford Escort, a 1994 Honda Accord and a 1996 Accord.

The Acura, parked at 301 Oregon St., was broken into between 10 p.m. Thursday and 11:45 a.m. Friday. Though the student’s car was undamaged, his $350 Panasonic compact disc player and stereo was stolen.

Just down the street at-206 Oregon St,

was the Escort, which was broken into between 10 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. Friday.

This student reported it was possible the vehicle was left unlocked. The Escort suffered no damage, but four $2O plastic wheel covers, two $lOO speakers and one pair of sunglasses were stolen.

The 1994 Accord, parked at 1708 Pace St., had a wider window in which the break-in could have occured; between 8 p.m. Wednesday and 4:31 p.m. Friday.

There was likewise no damage to the vehicle, though a $4OO Lanzar compact disc player and stereo was stolen.

Most destructive was the incident involving the 1996 Accord, which had the most valuable property stolen and was the only car damaged. This vehicle, parked at 202 Alexander St., was sacked between 5 p.m. Thursday and 8 p.m. Friday. The driver’s side window was pried open and incurred $5OO in damage, and a $5OO compact disc player and stereo was stolen.

DUPD senior investigator Lt. Davis Trimmer could not be reached for comment.

Cnmeßl 10fS from staff reports Student arrested for textbook thefts On Jan. 27, Duke University Police Department investigators arrested sophomore Eric Jiang, DOB Oct. 22, 1984, on one count of felony larceny. Jiang admitted to stealing $1,836 in textbooks from the University bookstore.

“It’s my fault. I did it and I’m admitting full responsibility for it,” Jiang told The Chronicle. “I will be pleading guilty.”

Upon his arrest, Jiang, of 106 House G, was transported to the Durham County Jail and placed under a $2,000 secured bond.

He first appeared in court Jan. 28, and could face Jail time for the felony.

However, Jiang said that police officers told him that because it was his first offense, he would probably not go to jail. He promised to pay full restitution to the University and do whatever is necessary to atone for his crimes.

In an interview with The Chronicle, he expressed regret and admitted that he did not need the textbooks. “It wasn’t need,” he said. “My mother works at home by herself most of the year and I just sort of wanted to help her out. I know this shouldn’t be the way to do it.”

The arrest resulted from a joint investigation by the DUPD and the Office of the Dean of Students.

Mit,

Vinatieri may have been the most resilient of all. He missed a 31-yard attempt in the first quarter and had a 36yard attempt blocked by Shane Burton in the second quarter. But Vinatieri’s final attempt split the uprights and sank Carolina.

“I just looked up and it was going down the middle,” Vinatieri said. “It just seemed fitting.”

Vinatieri has become a dependable weapon for the Patriots. In Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans on Feb. 3, 2002, he converted a 48-yard field goal on the last play of the game to defeat the St. Louis Rams, 20-17. During an American Football Conference divisional playoff that season, Vinatieri’s 45-yard field goal, in swirling snow, sent New England into overtime against the Oakland Raiders.

He then made a 23-yarder to win the game.

“If you have to have one kick with everything on the line, he’s the one I’d have kicking it,” Belichick said Sunday night. ‘That was the game. That was what Adam was here for.” Carolina almost stole the game from the Patriots.

Holding onto a 21-16 lead with 7:38 left, the Patriots were at the Carolina 10-yard line and driving with precision. But Brady’s bad pass into the end zone was intercepted by Panthers cornerback Reggie Howard.

Facing third-and-10 from his own 15, Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme unfurled a deep pass down the left sideline toward the veteran receiver Muhsin Muhammad and the rookie cornerback Eugene Wilson.

Muhammad came down with the ball, pushed Wilson away and sprinted into the end zone for an 85-yard touchdown, the longest touchdown completion in Super Bowl history. After the 2-point conversion failed, Carolina led 22-21.

From there, Brady directed the Patriots to the Carolina 1. From there, Brady hit linebacker Mike Vrabel, inserted into the goal-line offense, for a touchdown with 2:51 remaining. Running back Kevin Faulk scored on the 2-point conversion, giving New England a 29-22 lead.

But Carolina continued to fight. The Panthers marched downfield when Delhomme found Ricky Proehl for 30 yards. At the Patriots’ 12, Delhomme, who completed 16 for 33 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns, hit Proehl with a touchdown pass that tied the score at 29-29 with 1:08 to play.

The drive, like the Panthers season, seemed improbable.

Just a few years ago, Carolina was cursed with bad teams and bad luck. The team had become so dismal that fans had begged the owner to change its mascot, an oversized black cat.

But those days disappeared with coach John Fox, another former defensive coordinator the Giants, at the helm. In his first season, one year after a 1-15 mark, Carolina went 7-9. This season, with a fearless efficiency and sturdy running game, the Panthers advanced to the Super Bowl and did not wilt.

But they also did not win.

After Delhomme’s tying score, John Kasay accidentally sent the kickoff out of bounds. The Patriots took over at their 40-yard line with 1:08 to play and Brady steadily marched them into Panthers territory.

“I’m.very proud of our football team,” Fox said. “We

just couldn’t win the last one. But we have a young football team that I think is going to be around for a while.”

The Panthers, who received the opening kickoff, ran Stephen Davis twice for short yards before Delhomme overthrew receiver Steve Smith on third-and-3, forcing Carolina to punt from its 30.

After a 28-yard return by the Patriots’ Troy Brown, who sustained a bloody nose in the first quarter, the Patriots motored to Carolina’s 12, but Vinatieri missed a 31-yard field goal attempt to the right. It was the first time in six games that New England did not score on its opening drive.

The miss was a harbinger. Points would be hard to come by for most of the first half.

After the first 15 minutes, neither team had scored, the fifth time in Super Bowl history a first quarter had elapsed with no score.

With 6:08 left until halftime, Vinatieri had a chance to redeem his earlier miss, but Burton timed his leap perfectly and blocked Vinatieri’s 36-yard attempt.

No previous Super Bowl had gone so long without a point. It seemed only a miracle, or a turnover, could lead these teams into the end zone.

The Patriots were recipients of a turnover on the Panthers’ next drive. Vrabel sprinted around left tackle and stripped Delhomme of the ball just as he was about to throw it on third-and-12 from the Panthers’ 25. Richard Seymour recovered on the Panthers’ 20.

Three plays later, Brady faked a handoff to Antowain Smith up the middle and hit receiver Deion Branch for a.

5-yard touchdown, giving New England a 7-0 lead with 3:05 left in the half.

The touchdown loosened the reins for both squads.

On Carolina’s next possession, Delhomme found Steve Smith down the left sideline in single coverage against cornerback Tyrone Poole for a 39-yard score, making it 7-7.

Instead of letting the final minute of the half run out, New England kept its foot on the gas. Brady threw over the middle to David Givens for a 5-yard touchdown and a 14-7 lead. The drive covered 80 yards in 49 seconds.

But Carolina recovered Vinatieri’s poor squib kick at its 47 with 18 seconds left. Davis ran up the middle for 21 yards, setting upJohn Kasay for a 50-yard field goal on the final play, and the Patriots led, 14-10, at halftime.

The teams had posted 24 points in the final three minutes of the half after going scoreless for the first 27 minutes.

New England pressured Delhomme often, chasing him, spinning him around and knocking him down. The Patriots hit him so hard on one play that his left shoulder pad popped out of his jersey.

By the end of the game, the Patriots’ defense had sacked Delhomme four times. They had held Carolina running back Stephen Davis to 49 yards rushing on 13 carries.

On the game’s final play, Vinatieri kicked off to Carolina’s Rod Smart, the player also known when he played in the XFL as He Hate Me. Smart, under a barrage of tacklers, crumpled to the ground.

Confetti showered the Patriots sideline as they replayed their victory scene from two years ago, hugging one another, dancing in the light of flashing bulbs, racing to touch the Vince Lombardi trophy once again.

The Blue Devils started the day off strong, winning all three of their doubles matches to earn the doubles point.

Most notable was the victory by Walter and Zimmermann over the Aggies’ Lester Cook and Ante Matijevic. Walter and Zimmermann, the nadon’s second ranked doubles pair, upset the No. 1 TexasA&M team.

It was a closely contested match, as momentum switched back and forth many times. The Texas A&M team was twice up a break and was serving for the match when the Blue Devils broke serve and went on to victory.

Ashworth switched his doubles lineup by separating Amanda Johnson and Tory Zawacki, who were ranked fifth nationally before being upset by a Kentucky pair. Johnson played in the No. 1 position along with Julia Smith, and they were victorious. Zawacki and Jennifer Zika were not as fortunate, losing 8-2.

In singles action, Duke took 4-of-6 matches. Smith won 6-4, 6- to give the Blue Devils a20 lead. Ranked fifth nationally, Johnson was upset by No. 26 Jessica Roland in convincing fashion by a score of 6-1, 6-3.

Zawacki rebounded from her

doubles defeat and won in straight sets.

Duke clinched the match when Zika defeated Helga Vieira at the number two position. Also on the losing end for the Blue Devils was Kristin Cargill, who fell to Anna Tub in sky.

Earlier in the weekend, Duke defeated Kentucky, and as they did against the Aggies, the Blue Devils began the match strong by winning the doubles point.

The two schools split the first two doubles matches which included a loss by fifthranked Johnson and Zawacki. Cargill and Zika avoided a tiebreaker and won the critical third match 9-7.

Singles action was highlighted by Zawacki, who won her first collegiate dual match 6-0, 64 over Joelle Schwenk.

Fellow freshmen Zika and Cargill both won their matches along with No. 91 Saras Arasu and Johnson. Zika defeated Sarah Foster in a third-set tiebreaker 7-5.

Grapplers split with Davidson, Tenn.-Ch. by

Matt Becker

THE CHRONICLE

The wrestling team garnered a split decision Saturday, falling 26-15 to Tennessee-Chattanooga before defeating Davidson 35-7 later in the day.

Wrestling without three starters, the Blue Devils faced the No. 25 Mocs in their first match. Still, before the contest, Duke head coach Clar Anderson was optimistic about his team’s chances.

"They wrestled before us against Davidson and looked flat," he said. "I’m an incredible optimist and every time I think we can find away to win but this time it just didn’t play out."

Chattanooga jumped out to a 4-0 after the 125-pound bout, but the highlight of the contest for the Blue Devils came in the next match at 133, where Duke’s Adam Benitez faced No. 18 Josh Keefe. According to Anderson, Benitez wrestled his best match of the season, defeating Keefe 64 and bringing Duke to within one point.

“Going into the match, I felt like my chances were pretty good,” Benitez said. “Even though he was ranked and I wasn’t, I felt like I should be the one to win.”

Anderson added praise for Benitez after the match. "[Keefe] had just beaten some real tough kids and put himself into the national rankings," Anderson said. "This match kind of indicated to us what we knew all along, that Adam could be a top ten athlete in the country."

After that bout, however, Chattanooga took control of the match, winning the next four matchups to take a commanding 24-3 lead with just four matches remaining.

Duke’s Levi Craig won a minor decision at 174, but the Mocs clinched a team victory with an overtime decision in the 184-pound

weightclass.

Anderson did not point to the team injuries as the reason for the loss, but he acknowledged that they played a factor in his squad’s performance.

"It’s tough anytime you have three out of lineup, but our backups are pretty solid in those areas," he said. "They fought hard, especially on such late notice."

After the tough loss against Chattanooga, Duke came out with a purpose against Davidson on its home mat. The Blue Devils won eight-of-ten bouts and cruised to a 35-7 win.

Duke dominated the lower weight classes.

"I was worried about their lower weights," Anderson said, "but our 125, 133, and 141 did a very good job starting us off and beating them where it was their strength."

The rest of the match proceeded without much difficulty for the Blue Devils. Davidson won at 157 and 165, cutting Duke’s lead to 167, but the Blue Devils pulled away quickly, earning a minor decision and technical fall in the next two bouts to pull ahead 24-7.

“We had a lot ofguys bounce back afterlosses against UTC and really come out hard against Davidson,” Anderson said. “I was proud of the way we came out hard after a tough loss.” ten out of the

PUSH TO SHOVE, DUKE PREVAILS by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

ATLANTA, Ga. The Blue Devils did what many other ACC teams have been unable to do oflate —they won on the road.

Top-ranked Duke (18-1,7-0 in the ACC) defeated No. 14 Georgia Tech (16-4, 4-3) Saturday 82-74 after making a late surge the Yellow Jackets were unable to match.

With Saturday’s win, the 15th consecutive for Duke in the series and overall, the Blue Devils are now 4-0 on the road in the conference—all eight other ACC teams have only won a combined five games away from home this season. If they can win Thursday at North Carolina, the Blue Devils will finish the first half of the ACC schedule without a blemish and be the only team do to so in the nation’s top conference.

Against the Ramblin’ Wreck, a combination of Chris Duhon’s leadership, Luol Deng’s offensive production, tenacity on

the boards and timely three pointers by JJ. Redick and Daniel Ewing catalyzed Duke toward the end of the contest.

‘They gave us a real good run today,” Ewing said. ‘They played real well, and fortunately we played better down the stretch.”

With the Yellow Jackets nursing a 66-64 advantage at the six-minute mark, Shavlik Randolph put down an emphatic dunk, and on the ensuing possession made a short turnaround jumper.

Next, Georgia Tech's Luke Schenscher—who scored 18 points and was praised by head coach Mike Krzyzewski for his performance —earned a chance at a conventional three-point play, but missed the free throw.

The Blue Devils capitalized, as Redick collected a tipped pass off a missed free throw by Deng behind the arc and pump SEE

THE CHRONICLE

After Kayla Chones sprinted ahead of the pack and layed in her 12th point to give N.C. State (10-11, 2-6 in the ACC) a 29-19 lead with 5:18 remaining in the first half, It became clear that No. 2 Duke was going to have to work for its 50th consecutive ACC win. The Blue Devils (162, 7-0) quickly turned it around, however, and out-scored the Wolfpack by 29 for the remainder of the game en route to a 75-56 win.

Alana Beard symbolized the struggles in the first half, scoring only four points, 15 below her average. Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors felt the struggles in the first half had more to do with effort than poor shooting.

“I was really disappointed with our first half effort,” Goestenkors said. “I thought we were a half step slow until the end of the first half. At half time, I told them I felt that N.C. State was playing harder than we were and that they were playing with passion. They were outhustling us, but there is no excuse for that. Sometimes you aren't going to make your shots and that's okay, but there is no excuse for getting outhustled the way we were outhustled in the first half.”

The Blue Devils started to cut into N.C. State’s surprising lead at the end of the first half, finishing the stanza on a 15-7 run to make the score 36-34 N.C. State with 20 minutes remaining. Beard and the resurgent Iciss Tillis keyed the run, with Beard scoring two points and dishing out three assists and Tillis putting seven more points on the score board during the spurt.

Beard took over quickly in the second half, scoring 17 ofher 21 points in that period despite a strained foot and groin problem.

“I think she felt good going into the game, but she took a couple of hard knocks,” Goestenkors said. “She did end up being in a lot of pain.”

Beard catalyzes Duke After their sub-par offensive performance against Tennessee, it was imperative for the Blue Devils to establish their game plan from the onset of Friday’s game against N.C. State. Against the Volunteers, Duke shot .358 from the field—a lowly number that had only been equaled a week before, when the Blue Devils shot .328 against Virginia.

For most of the first half, however, Duke appeared to be a team without a coherent offensive strategy. For a while it appeared to be a three-point shooting team, but that course of action was quickly abandoned after the Blue Devils shot 2-8 from behind the 3-point line in the first half.

At other times they tried to resort to a power game and attempted to feed the ball down low to Mistie Bass and Iciss Tilliss This strategy was only somewhat successful: Duke ended the first half trailing 36-34, but were outscored Czaja 24-18 in the paint.

the score tied 38-38, Beard drove down the left baseline and dropped a lay-up in traffic to give Duke its first lead since the gamePs opening minutes. The very next Duke possession, Monique CurriePs errant pass clanged off the rim and fell miraculously into Beard’s hands. Beard took the ball strong to the hoop, and although the brutal hacking she drew forced caused the ball to roll harmlessly off the rim, Beard made her two free throws and the Blue Devils were off and running.

Beard was a jack-of-all-trades in the second half; she drove the ball to the hoop, hit fadeaway jumpers, and created from all areas of the court.

Although Iciss Tillis might have come away as the game’s star with her 18 points and quasi-semi-dunk, Beard was the reason Duke won this game.

In the second half, Beard spent more time penetrating into the N.C. State defense, and even spent a fair amount of time posting up against the Wolfpack forwards.

THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devil track team performed well at NorthCarolina this weekend.

SWIMMING AND DIVING |

@

It was like practice—with a few record setting performances along the way—for the Duke track team this weekend at the North Carolina Invitational.

Senior pole vaulter Brent Warner reset his school record at 17 feet, a three-inch increase over his previous mark.

“It’s sort oflow key for us. We are winding up the first part of our season,” freshman Dan King said.

‘This was sort of a trial, because in two weeks we are going to New York City for a big meet.” King finished first for the Blue Devils, 6th overall, in the 400 meter run with a 49.93.

The men’s squad also had success in the distance events, placing first in the distance medley with the team of lan Cronin, Mark Middaugh, Brian McNiff and Dan Daly.

Head coach Norm Ogilvie ran four different distance medley teams this weekend to determine who will run each leg of the final distance medley squad.

“Our main goal was to stack our distance medley for New York,” head coach Ogilvie said. “The men’s distance team has chance to go to nationals in that event.”

For many rookies, diis meet served as their first collegiate competition. Three freshmen on the men’s team—-Jon Fox, Sean McDermott and Pat Parish—took the three through five spots in the 5000-meter run.

“We worked together really well and it was a really good effort by all of us,” Fox said. “Pat Parish paced it through two miles. For a lot of the guys, it was good experience to run a college race and run the 5000 indoors. It’s a young squad, but we have a lot of talent.”

The women’s team mirrored the men’s success this weekend in Chapel Hill.

WILLIAM & MARY

Swimming and diving cruise past Will. Sc Mary

by Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

In their penultimate dual meet of the year, both them men’s and women’s Duke swimming and diving teams were victorious against William & Mary Saturday afternoon. The men won 138-91, while the women triumphed 134-102.

The Duke men’s victory was sweetened by a bit of revenge —two years ago the Tribe won 121.5-101.5 the last time the Blue Devils visited Williamsburg, Va. “I think as a team we were really happy with the meet,” said junior Teddy Heifers, who took home victory in the 500 freestyle and won the 1650 freestyle by a 14-second margin. “We won almost every event, and William & Mary really didn’t expect us to be so strong. Everyone that was at the meet two years ago was happy to perform well in a pool where we lost such a close meet.”

Billy Pearce also won two events for the Duke men by capturing first place in the 50 free and the 200 backstroke. The men won both the 400 freestyle and 400 IM relays, while Jay Ashenfelter, John Humphrey, Chris Brede and Kevin Arthofer picked up individual victories in the 200 IM, 200 butterfly, 100 freestyle, and 200 breaststroke events,

respectively.

According

to senior Amy Halligan, Ashenfelter’s 1:58.74 time in the 200 IM came at a crucial point in the meet.

“We knew it was going to be an exciting meet,” Halligan said. “We knew we had to keep the intensity up the whole time. Jay

Ashenfelter’s 200 IM was right before the first break in the meet, and he came from behind to out touch out William & Mary.

That was really exciting and that set us up for the next group of events.”

Duke assistant coach Lynzee Sharp admitted that William & Mary attracted a little more consideration than another nonconference foe usually would.

‘When we went in two years ago, they had rested and we had not,” Sharp said.

“So this year we wanted to rest a little bit, just a day, in order to make sure we beat them this time.”

Jackie Rodriguez once again headlined the women by winning the 200 backstroke and swimming on Duke’s victorious 400 IM and 400 freestyle relay teams.

Nora Stupp, Julia Lewis, Julie Granger and Lauren Hancock were also individually victorious in the 200 free, 50 free, 200 IM and 200 butterfly, but according to Halligan, the Blue Devils’ second and third place finishers were the ones who were most instrumental to victory.

“Coach Thompson was a little worried this week in practice due to what happened to us up there two years ago,” Halligan said. “That was obviously in the back of the heads of the juniors and seniors on the team. So we had some solid second and third place finishes from guys on our team who really stepped it up.”

Duke will return home to Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion Saturday, February 7 and will face the College of Charleston in its final dual meet before the ACC

Championships.

JACKETS from page 4

In her first indoor meet since 2002, junior Paige Miller finished first in the 3000-meter run. Her NCAA provisional mark of 9:28.51 movedher into third place in the Duke record books. All four women who ran the 3000—Miller, Laura Stanley, Lindsay Van Alstine and Phebe Ko—qualified for ECAC. The team continued its strong showing in distance races with Duke runners taking the second through fifth spots in the one-mile run. Junior Alyssa Mathe led the pack with a 4:55. Sophomores Clara Horowitz, Sally MeyerhofF and senior Jan Faraguna rounded out the top five. “[The women have] so much depth in the distance,” Ogilvie said. “Rachel [Umberger] looked great. She is really coming into form.”

Umberger and fellow freshman Deb Vento recorded both first-place finishes in the 800-meter run and high jump, respectively. Umberger recorded a personal-best time of 2:11.40 to clinch the top spot in the 800. Vento tied her own school record with a 5-10 jump.

“Deb really has the ability to clear six feet this season,” Ogilvie said.

Vento’s success in the high jump set the bar for the other Blue Devils in the field events. Freshmen Beth Maher and Kelly Reynolds finished fifth in the shot put and sixth in the weight throw, respectively.

Senior Kristie Howard posted a season-best 11-7.75 the in pole vault, tying for fourth.

Ogilvie noted that although the competition at this weekend’s meet wasn’t strong, it was an important meet for the team to begin preparing for bigger meets.

BEARD from page 5 which allowed her to be more effective,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She is tough to defend. Other post players cannot really defend her.”

Even when she didn?t shoot the ball, Beard still found ways to create offense for the Blue Devils. Case in point: with die Wolfpack leading 29-19 with 5:18 reaming in the first half, Duke went on a tear and made seven of its final nine shots to finish out the half and close the deficit to two. On three of those shots, assists were provided by, you guessed it, Beard.

Did I mention that Beard was also Duke’s rebounding leader? Well, she did that too.

Beard is also doing all this with two injuries. She has

Wolfpack.

“They got more aggressive with some traps here and there, just went after the loose balls and beat us to some rebounds when we had inside position,” N.C. State head coach Kay Yow said. “We couldn't keep up the pace; we ran out of steam; we weren't nearly as sharp at either end of the floor. The turnovers just really killed us.”

The Wolfpack finished with 22 turnovers, 13 of which occurred in the second half. Guards Kendra Bell and Nanna Rivers played 38 and 33 minutes, respectively, which proved too much for them to handle in the uptempo, intense game against one of the nation’s best.

Tillis finished with 18 points for the Blue Devils, and sophomore Misti Bass, who saw her playing time increase because of a lingering knee injury to freshman Brittany Murphy, scored 13 points and pulled down five rebounds. Chones led N.C. State with 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Sasha Reaves contributed 10 points off the Wolfpack bench.

Tillis caused controversy with her fast break points with 5:54 left in the game. The 6-foot-5 senior grabbed the rim as she layed in Duke’s 65th point of the game, but the two points were not obviously a dunk.

Yow did not think the play was a dunk. Tillis did.

“In my mind it was a dunk,” Tillis said.

glance it appeared the Blue Devils had the greatest net loss.

Redick, the Blue Devils’ leading and most timely scorer had received his third foul, and would be forced to sit on the bench for the remainder of the half before he had scored a

single point.

Though Georgia Tech had not defeated Duke since the first-term of the Clinton administration, until Saturday the Blue Devils had not proved they were a different team from the one that went 3-and-5 on the road in the ACC a year ago.

Before the Yellow Jackets could jump on what seemed to be even more momentum heading their way, Duke went on a 11-0 run, taking a lead they would not relinquish for the rest of the half.

‘That just shows our maturity from last year,” Ewing said.

“Last year we probably would have gotten blown out in this type of atmosphere, against this type of team, with that type of thing to happen. We got great leadership from coach and Chris [Duhon] ...he’s our floor leader and he wasn’t going to allow that to happen.”

Shelden Williams and Luol Deng keyed the run, with Williams dunking twice and Deng finishing an old-fashion three-point-play and laying-in an athletic alley-oop from Duhon that was reminiscent offormer Blue Devil Grant Hill, Deng’s idol.

The Blue Devils would take a 37-32 lead by halftime, and increase that lead to nine two minutes into the second half.

Duke then stymied a quick Georgia Tech run to obtain another nine point lead with 12:13 remaining in the game, but from there on out each team struggled mightily for any clear control of the game.

Through overachieving play from the Yellow Jackets’ gangly center Luke Schenscher and inspired quickness from the speediest team in the ACC, Georgia Tech was able to take a 66-64 lead with 5:58 remaining. The deficit seemed deeper for the Blue Devils than two points, as the Yellow Jackets clearly had the intense crowd, Duke’s fatigue and Blue Devil foul trouble all on their side.

missed the past five practices with a strained groin and a sprained ligament in her right foot. If she was ever in pain Friday night, it certainly didn’t show. “[Beard’s] such a competitor, and it’s hard to tell on people like that,” N.C. State head coach Kay Yow said when asked whether Beard’s injuries affected her play. “She looked pretty strong out there to me tonight. She’s aggressive and makes up for it.”

Perhaps it is sacrilege to suggest that a Duke basketball team should focus its entire offense around one person.

And perhaps, in the long run, it is unwise for the Blue Devils to rely on one player to bear the majority of its offensive burden. But if this team is serious about winning a national championship, then it must not forget the sole reason this program has come so far—one Alana Beard.

But tremendous offensive execudon led to a Duhon-toShavlik Randolph dunk, and then a Randolph short jump shotfrom a Ewing assist that gave Duke a 68-66 lead with 3:49 remaining. Randolph also stopped two would-be Yellowjacket scores by accumulating two of his four blocks while the score was 66-66. The Blue Devil interior defense changed and blocked shots from the athletic GeorgiaTech guards the entire game, affecting the final score in immeasurable ways.

“We knew coming in that all the guards loved to penetrate and drive,” Williams said. “We were trying to be big in the lane and changed some shots.”

Schenscher quickly countered with two of his 18points to tie the game again, Then Duke had its luckiest possession of the game, as after Deng missed the second of his two free throws, the ball was tipped out to a wide-open Redick. The Virginia native calmly nailed a three-pointer, his third and final field-goal of the game.

The Blue Devils were still far from victory, as Shelden Williams, who finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds, fouled-out on the very next possession.

After two Elder free-throws, the Yellowjackets trailed only by two. On Duke’s ensuing possession, Georgia Tech gave the Blue Devils little opportunity to operate. The ball was then swung to Ewing, who pulled up for a gutsy three-pointer. The junior nailed the clutch-shot, giving Duke a five-point lead, an advantage thatwould only grow in the 82-74 win.

“It was a big possession for us,” Ewing said about his timely three-pointer. “We really didn’t get a lot out of the initial offense we tried to run. I had been playing pretty well, I had been hitting my jumper pretty well all half. The other guy gave me some space, and I took a good shot.”

Duke had several chances—after the fight, after Williams’ fifth foul— to falter in their fourth game against a top 25 team this season. But after each setback, the tough Blue Devils sublimated their situation into an advantageous one.

“All through this year we’ve been playing tough teams, and we’ve been in dog fights,” Williams said. “We came out here with another win, and we proved that we are tough. I think [this was the toughest and biggest win of the year].”

THE CHRONICLE

WAGONER from page 1 and family life.

“It’s about setting priorities,” Wagoner said. “I talk to our young executives a lot about this. 1 want their attention and I want their time... but I find most people are best at [being successful in work] if they are mentally refreshed. For a lot of us, having extra time for our families is important.”

For students, that family time might translate into a healthy perspective about classwork, but Wagoner knows firsthand the difficulties of distinguishing oneself at a school that attracts top students.

“If you come and everyone has an SAT score of a zillion and a 4.5 GPA, it’s hard to compete in this environment, but... your hard work and diligence can be rewarded,” Wagoner said. “I think that’s a good lesson in life.”

Wagoner related his own experience entering the job market after graduating with an MBA from Harvard University in 1977, when he did not exactly end up where he thought he would be. His first job was with GM in New York City, a location in which he never wanted to live. Growing up in Richmond, Va., and going to school in Durham, Wagoner

“Listening to the panelists was inspiring. It’s such an education to hear them talk about their different paths to teaching. It really motivates me to make my own path in my life,” said Chariot, who also attended the Non-profits and Social Responsibility and People People panels.

At the same time, she echoes the sentiment of many Duke students when she said she is trying to balance several conflicting desires.

‘The largest one is being happy with what I’m doing and then, of course, financial security comes into play,” she said. The helpful thing about the panels was at the end, they gave me something more concrete to think about.”

In addition to advice regarding job and life stability, the educators also gave out practical advice about how to land the jobs—including surprising resume elements. “[Boarding schools] look for camp experience, the fact that you’ve been engaged in such an intense experience,”

Keynote speaker Richard Wagoner capped Career WeekSaturday. said New York w<js too big a city for him.

“New York was kind of intimidating,” Wagoner said. “I said, ‘Anything but that.’”

However, the position in New York turned out to be a “great working environment with great people” and the starting point for Wagoner’s career with GM. Since his initial position as an analyst in the GM trearevealed alum Jack Bonner, Trinity ’BO and the Associate Head of the Asheville School in North Carolina. Bonner was one of the 200 alumni panelists and moderators who participated in Career Week.

Career preparation was also an integral part of the 11:30 a.m. Performing Arts panel. Alumni sharing their experiences included former child actor Daniel Karslake, Trinity ’B7, and a partner in the production company the Atticus Group, as well as Daniel Klein, Trinity ’96, who worked on the television show ‘The Simpsons” before becoming the CEO of hip-hop-for-kids company, MeeWee Entertainment.

The future goals of student attendees ranged from being a television host, playing in a professional band, to combining music and the literature of Garcia-Marquez into a performance. For junior Ashley Carlson, who is a singer, dancer and actress, her intent for attending the panel was to meet these former Duke students who materialized their dreams.

“It’s just so great to see these people doing what they love and I just wanted to see how I could get into it, to do what I love,” she said. “[However,] I’m still trying to balance the notions of what I want to do, what I should do and what my parents want me to do.”

The issue of dealing with career input from parents also surfaced for sophomore Danielle Reifsnyder, but she said the experiences of the alumni at the International Work session provided reassurance and encouragement.

“I felt the career panels took away the pressure to have a nearly-set career goal. It motivates you to be involved in things and seek out opportunities for yourself.... One of the panelists said, ‘Both good and bad experiences add to your career toolbox,”’ she said. “The

surer’s office, Wagoner advanced in the ranks of GM and was named chair and CEO in 2003.

Although he acknowledged the importance of hard work, Wagoner also recognized the importance of luck in determining one’s future. Many of the positions he has held with GM have come from choosing between different opportunities at certain crossroads, which he described as the common theme in his professional life.

He took a risk with his first major position with GM, which involved a move to Brazil. While his wife encouraged the move, Wagoner joked he was hesitant because there was no televised Duke basketball in Brazil.

Wagoner did not constantly seek advancement, but he found the advice of others instrumental in choosing his career path. He initially turned down an officer-level position, which some colleagues thought was a big mistake, but six months later he was encouraged to take the position ofCFO in Detroit.

“That’s the one thing I would really encourage: Don’t necessarily take the job that you think will be promoted the fastest or make the most money,” he cautioned. “It’s not about getting to a specific job. You spend most ofyour time getting to where you’re going, so you really want to enjoy that.”

thing that was covered for me was that, especially, at this point, it’s a great time to start thinking about summer opportunities.’”

Reifsnyder, a Russian and chemistry double-major, was also surprised at the helpfulness of those involved when she asked about possible international work in Russia during the panel session.

‘They offered me journal entries from a past student in Russia and they talked about the different opportunities available for abroad study and work,” she said.

The different international programs represented included the Peace Corps, the Japanese Exchange and Teaching program for prospective English teachers, and the military.

When the long day of panel-attending, alumni-networking and smiling and handshaking finally came to an end, pre-med senior Heidi Schumacher felt that the sessions she attended—Non-profit and Social Responsibility,

as well as Medicine—were worth her while.

“I went in just being a little skeptical because [panels like this] end up being only slightly helpful because often times, people are telling you stuff you already know. But I didn’t feel that this was like that, because people were more helpful in giving me the connections I needed than I expected,” she said. “It was good to meet people who are physicians and have that insight and [also] people in the same field who aren’t [physicians] and have different perspectives.”

Schumacher believed, however, that the best part of the day was in actuality not limited to any one panel, but rather it was hearing alumni repeatedly advise, “Do whatever you want to do.”

And, indeed, that was what the day was all about.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Partial lab credit is not warranted With regard to The Chronicle’s Friday, Jan. 30 staff editorial on partial laboratory credits, the statement that lab work “translates to between a doubling and quadrupling of time committed to one course” does not seem to be accurate. It appears that it was calculated purely on the basis of in-class time.

I believe that a fair expectation of the faculty is that students spend a significant amount of time outside class working on

course assignments, readings, etc. If students are indeed meeting this expectation, I would doubt that labs double or quadruple time spent on a course. Further, I wonder whether the “uneven playing field” analogy holds up if all the outof-class time spent by humanities and social science students on readings is taken into account.

Prasad Kasibhatla Associate Professor, Nicholas School

Bush supports hijack Duke’s success The other night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, I got confused for a minute and thought I was at a Republican National Convention. And no, it was not due to all the old white guys in the upper section. A small group of students decided to wear matching Bush/Cheney ’O4 shirts and wave posters during the basketball game, as if it were a political convention.

This is not a partisan letter to the editor, as I would have been just as upset if a group of young Democrats used similar

political propaganda strategies.

Simply put, I felt like these young Republicans were hijacking the success of the Duke Basketball team for their own

agenda. Does a 3-pointer by Chris Duhon really make you think about Bush’s policies?

Do you think the basketball players appreciate you using their efforts to accomplish your own goals? Where do we draw the line? Can corporations pay Cameron

Crazies to advertise their products? Fm sure 9 kids would paint their chest with “Coca-Cola” for 100 bucks each. (Just make sure the skinny kid gets to be the hyphen).

Or maybe a group of liberal radicals should paint “Boycott Mt. Olive” on their chests.

Nan would get a kick out of that and so would the TV audience.

I just do not see the connection between sports and politics. I guess I am just as baffled as to why Tom Brady was at the State of the Union, and why our President felt the need to outline his sentiments on steroid use in athletics at his annual speech.

We sing the national anthem, y plurbus unum, and then “root, root, root for the home team.” The only W that should be cheered for in Cameron is a Win. Mark Pike Trinity ’O4

Politics and basketball do Since when do we mix politics and basketball? I was very disappointed when I noticed a group of students waiving “Bush/Cheney 2004” signs (and of course wearing the adorable matching tshirts) in the crowd at the recent FSU game. While it is certainly within their rights to do this, I personally thought it was in very bad taste.

At basketball games students should

not mix

be waiving signs to cheer on our team, not to promote certain political views.

And what if JJ . or Duhon are Democrats? Maybe that’s why the game was so close—think about it.

And let’s be honest, do we really want to be seen supporting President Bush on national television?

And ther because they are printed on a Friday, or a snow day. Lucky for us, the snow melted just not the discourse and hegemony type of social commentary. The type that makes you in time for a recap of who banged out who wonder if we go to Duke University or Bayafter Bid nights and a run down of which side High type of social commentary. At a sorority truly got the dirtier sluts.

I have no problem with columns that want time when finding a free New York Times or any other real newspaper on thiscampus to discuss Duke Life. (Ok, that’s a lie.) But I is harder than finding parking, our school wouldn’t mind them if you kept them in Renewspaper has become the Weekly World cess, where they belonged. Editorials are News, only without the pictures of Sadaam where we as students have the opportunity to respond to what goes on at this school withand Osama’s gay wedding.

From what I gather, many people have out the formalities of administrative meetings stopped taking The Chronicle seriously, with or the risk of reduced grades. Yet every day it is wasted on discussions of what’s wrong with the exception of two things: 26 across (crucifix term, 9 letters) and my article (isn’t he so the social scene and why girls cannot find self-pretentious? Yes, but it’s damn true!). love.

And it’s not just the editorials. I understand that Durham isn’t New York City, and local events arent very interesting. It’s probably closer to New Jack City, which could explain all the crime briefs. But we are in an election year. There is a six-pack of candidates looking to replace die guy who many like to blame for the War in Iraq, and the best we can do is Associated Press reports on die inside cover.

RAMONA

Last

All around campus, events were cancelled, from Sunday RAMONA QUIMBY, AGE 38 was walking back from church, where the topic of Alley II to a fraternity party entitled “Champagne and the sermon had been “Vow of Poverty?!?: Why Whore Derves” during which rushees are fed melba You Should Read the Fine Print on all Contracts, Espetoasts by buxom young women wearing nothing but cially Vows,” she was approached by a stranger. Her oven mitts and pasties. RAMONA was dismayed to

newfound friend turned out to be a German seventhyear political science graduate student named Klaus. He greeted her with a cheery shout of “Ich bin ein nein school tomorrow!!” RAMONA was quizzical as to why a lifelong resident of Dusseldorf would say “I am a no” in German, followed by “school tomorrow” in our own native tongue.

Despite the disconcerting way in which RAMONA was informed of ona school’s cancellation, she was very rt Monday, pleased to find out that classes had been postponed. Being a productive individual, RAMONA then resolved to get her work done early, go to the gym, get ahead in her readings, and then would come the fun. By fun, RAMONA of course meant a trip to the barely-frozenover ponds of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens to recreate the silyer-medal-winning routine of Elvis Stojko at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics; RAMONA knows her way around a triple lutz, and Stojko was robbed, believe you her, Unfortunately, the best-laid plans of mice and men often result in you having to shoot your best friend in the head because he killed a woman with pretty hair.

The ponds were not sufficiently frozen over, and RAMONA was compelled to keep her $35 Bauer ice skates from Play-it-Again Spqrts in the box. So RAMONA stayed inside, enjoyed a decadent pint of Halfand-Half and watched the DVD first season of “Joanie Loves Chachi” for the remainder of the hiatus. She particularly enjoyed the director’s commentary. It cleared up some questions she’d had.

icy. Sanford would be disappointed, I’m sure.

No offense to those of you who may write the stuff I’ve been talking about. I don’t think it is ill-written at all. Just misplaced. Let’s be honest—it wouldn’t hurt you if you attempted to write a column dealing with a real issue, and that doesn’t include designer references or alias for make believe boy-toys.

As much as we don’t want to admit it, next year we seniors will be in the real world, and soon enough, we will be the future leaders of this country.

Let’s at least pretend we can B.S. about it. Oh by the way, 26 across? Crossword.

And dont forget, sororities are the devil.

miss her favorite class, “The Titular Use of Colons in Academia: A New Approach: For a New Millennium.” But those are the breaks of snow days.

The elements tend to have psychological impact on us, and RAMONA QUIMBY was lucky to get out of the four-day weekend unscathed. As anyone who’s ever partied with the ski team or watched “The Shining” knows, the snow makes people do a k Jo we jr( j things. For some reason, three Age qo inches of wintry mix leads the greater Monday population to believe that the next Ice Age is upon us, and the pandemonium sends everyone frantically racing to procure the winter necessities: batteries, drinking water, 5 lbs. of fatback. One worried shopper purchased 39 cans of Sterno from Uncle Harry’s, which can be an expensive venture, but luckily he was able to use food points after he successfully downed four cans on the spot.

Society can be a fragile thing when nature runs amok, as famed novelist Stephen King has noted in 71 of his most beloved books. One sad example of this came on Monday and Tuesday, when Southgate’s residents saw society and civility depart for a long weekend. Several of the dorm’s denizens decided not to shower or shave for the duration of the impromptu winter break. When authorities dug them out of the colossal 9-inch drift days later, they looked like Tom Hanks in Cast Away, and were babbling incoherently. about A1 Roker’s complicity in the snowstorm as part of a vast Masonic-Zionist conspiracy to control the world’s market for Chili Fritos. Another Southgater proposed an alternate theory, basically that

™

“the Eskimos have waaaaaaay more than 39 words for snow, and yet no word for ‘auto-erodc asphyxiation’ and if that doesn’t tell you a thing or two about their cultural priorities, you’ve got your head in the sand, brotherman.”

This heretic was summarily tried and executed; he was given a Viking funeral in the Taishoff Aquatic Pavilion.

Meanwhile, in Alspaugh, students oblivious to the weather continued to pork the doorknobs.

This type of erratic and potentially deadly behavior also affected many students’ dietary regimens. Popular reaction to the inclement weather included a sudden run on nonperishable foodstuffs, in the same way that squirrels horde nuts (but not the cashews because they hate those). RAMONA cannot shake the horror of finding her roommate in a near-comatose stupor, surrounded by the remnants of a half-eaten order of jalapeno poppers and 31 empty bags of Cheetos. Turns out, they are dangerously cheesy, just like the bag says. So the next time you press A9 looking for a snack, caveat emptor, my friend... caveat emptor.

Those who did leave the dorms during the snow days took great care in their appearance. Many southern women were seen wearing their new winter ensembles. These clothes failed to protect them from the weather, especially the Ugg boots, which caused several impressive spills on the BC walkway. By Tuesday night, the only person wearing Ugg boots was Kirk Baily, Fuqua ‘O5, a footwear inventor who is best known perhaps as Kevin “Ugg” Lee, the much-maligned and avuncular camp counselor from the Nickelodeon program “Salute Your Shorts.”

But, as Joey Lawrence said during a very disconcerting death-themed episode of “Brotherly Love:” “This too shall pass.” The snows melted, the grounds cleared, and Cinelli’s started delivering again. All is right with the world. And Joanie still loves Chachi.

RAMONA QUIMBY, AGE 38, has your colossal 9-inch

drift right here.
