Moneta hikes quad fees by $3O

DUKE 961 ALABAMA ST. 61

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

For many members of the Duke community, last week’s terrorist attacks in Spain were nothing more than a blip on the radar. But for a handful of students and faculty, the shattered trains and cries of grief struck much closer to home.

Juniors Christina Filippi and Jessica Chilson were only a few blocks from Atocha train station when the bombs went off. The two had traveled to Madrid to visit fellow junior Brianna Powers, who is enrolled in Duke in Madrid this semester.

“I had been in that train station a day or two before, and was supposed to be there that very morning traveling to Sevilla,” Filippi said. “Fortunately the night before we had decided to stay in Madrid instead.”

Many students did not learn of the attacks—which took place in the morning before typical college students roll out of bed—until hours after they had occurred.

Powers heard the news from her professors at Universidad San Pablo, where she had a class that morning. Junior Becka Herman, who is also enrolled in Duke in Madrid, said she got the news when her father woke her up with a phone call from London.

Filippi said she, like many people in Madrid, was in an initial state of shock when she heard the news. “I couldn’t grasp the gravity of the situation because it didn’t seem real,” she said. “It wasn’t until I called home an hour later that I truly felt scared and upset.

A day after Duke Student Government’s that it had discovered $140,000 in misplaced student activities fees, Vice President of Student Affairs Larry Moneta presented to Campus Council his decision to increase student’s quadrangle fee by $3O. Moneta said at the Thursday night meeting that this new charge—which will begin in the 2004-2005 school year—will be used to support cultural events and expand the staff of the Office of Student Activities and Facilities.

Quad fees are currently assessed to subsidize residential life programming and are distributed to each student’s residence quad. The additional monies from the fee hike, however, would be diverted, allowing Moneta to create permanent funding for student activities without siphoning off money from academics. He cited this as the reason for the fee increase.

“Student affairs is budgeted in a very peculiar way,” Moneta explained. “The bulk of student affairs is funded by tuition, and this puts us in an awkward situation, because we’re fighting with the deans of the schools for money.”

Moneta asserted that the misplacement of $140,000 in student activities fees would never have occurred had OSAF been adequately staffed.

“It’s our job to be tracking student accounts, and we take blame for [the results of the DSG audit],” Moneta said. “[Students] shouldn’t be trying to figure out how to track [their] activity fees.” announcement

Academic Council listens to arts proposals by

lan Crouch

THE CHRONICLE

Richard Riddell, Semans Professor of the Practice and chair of theater studies, presented two initiatives at Thursday’s meeting of the Academic Council—the Provost’s Council for the Arts, which will ensure a stronger voice for the arts at the University, and Duke Performances, which will act as the major presenter of professional arts at Duke.

Both initiatives are a response to the University’s strategic plan, Building on Excellence, which in part calls for improved “integration of the arts into the academic mission of the University.”

Riddell has spent the past year as a spe-

cial assistant to Provost Peter Lange on various arts-related issues. He said that when he began his work this fall, he and Lange were pleased with the progress on facilities for the arts. Riddell cited the Nasher Museum of Art, the theater studies addition to the Bryan Center and the proposed renovation of the Smith Warehouse, a space near East Campus that will house music and visual arts projects, as examples of the University’s commitment to the arts.

Nevertheless, he said he found that “organizational and programming issues” needed attention. On the organizational side, Riddell said, the Provost’s Council for the Arts will “address the need that was perceived for the arts to have a stronger ongo-

ing voice in the University administration.”

The council will be made up of faculty from the various departments and programs in the arts, as well as by faculty selected on an at-large basis by the Executive Committee of the Academic Council. The council will also include voices from student groups as well as members from the Triangle community.

Riddell said he sees the council as being a place where many viewpoints would coalesce.

‘The hope is that the council will provide a forum for greater collaboration to take place between organizations on campus and also organizations in the community,” he said.

In terms of programming, Riddell said Duke Performances will aim to fulfill three major goals: to increase quality of performing arts brought to Duke, to increase access and awareness for students and to increase the appeal of events by making them as diverse as possible.

Based on a model used at Dartmouth College, presentations by Duke Performances will cost only $5 each for students during a two-year experimental phase, in order to increase access and appeal for students.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WARSAW, Poland President Aleksander Kwasniewski, a key US ally, said Thursday that Poland was “misled” about whether Saddam Hussein’s regime had weapons of mass destruction and was considering withdrawing troops from Iraq several months early.

The remarks came as polls show about half of Poles are opposed to involvement in Iraq and after deadly bombings in Madrid—possibly by al Qaeda in retaliation for Spain’s alliance with the United States—triggered fears of a terror attack on Polish soil.

Kwasniewski’s comments were the

Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said she did not think Poland was withdrawing its support for the US-led coalition in Iraq.

“I talked to the Poles, and they think they were a bit misinterpreted here, because there’s been no stronger ally in this than the Poles,” Rice said in a CNN interview. She said President George W. Bush and Kwasniewski had discussed the issue of Saddam’s alleged arsenal “and they went to war for the right reasons.”

There was only one path to safety for the “civilized world,” Bush concluded: “We will stay united, and we will fight until this enemy is broken.”

Bush had no comment on the statement of another ally, President Aleksander Kwasniewski ofPoland, who said Thursday that he had been “misled” about the threat from Saddam Hussein’s unconventional weapons. “I’m here to eat dinner,” Bush told reporters when they asked aboutKwasniewski as the president was setding in for a meal with troops at the base.

neighborhoods.”

The police substation will be the first to be located directly in a dorm, though there are substations on Central Campus, in the Bryan Center, near Epworth Dormitory and in the Mill Building at Erwin Square. Administrators downplayed the relationship between the substation and the dorm, with Residence Life and Housing Services Director Eddie Hull pointing out that the substation is isolated from the rest of the first floor by an electrical and mechanical room and that students will not live on the first floor.

Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said the confluence of authority figures in the new dorm was not intentional. ‘The substation is not even [in practice] a part of the dorm,” Moneta said. “[Police] presence will focus on the exterior with the walk. Mainly they’ll be watching over the link to Ninth Street.”

Planned along with the new dorm is an expanded and refurbished walkway from the heart of East Campus to the Ninth Street commercial district, with administrators and merchants hoping for more student patronage of local shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. At the same time administrators are encouraging student traffic, they hope to discourage unwanted visitors to campus—hence the substation. The University has suffered sev-

DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead hoped the substation would help keep such incidents from occurring. “Having a good presence there—a good visible presence in that area—will hopefully make folks feel safer and deter any crimes of opportunity that may occur,” he said.

Sophomore Francesca Tenconi said she thought the substation was a good idea for precisely that reason. “I would feel safer, [what] with a lot of the stuffyou read in The Chronicle about people being mugged or harassed,” she said.

While students agreed the beefed-up security and administrative presence might make the area safer, some said they felt the University may have gone a bit too far.

Furthermore, he said, the presence of police cars and bicycles will make the substation even more visible.

Birkhead denied, however, that the substation would facilitate an underage drinking crackdown on East Campus, where alcohol is officially banned. He held that the DUPD was already enforcing the University’s alcohol policies on East.

Canadian students make up a significant percentage of the University’s international population, with 116 current undergraduate and graduate students.

Additionally, there is a Duke graduate teaching at every major Canadian university, and the largest percentage of international Duke alumni are Canadian.

The University has been nurturing this give-and-take relationship with Canada for decades, mainly building on its well-reputed Canadian Studies Program.

Established in 1973, the program is the oldest of its kind in the nation. It has been a key factor in building the University’s reputation in Canada, helping it become “as well known as Harvard and Yale,” according to Michael Byers, director of the Center for Canadian Studies.

Pakistan claims bin Laden’s deputy cornered by

Paul Haven

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pakistani forces believe they ISLAMABAD, Pakistan have cornered and perhaps wounded Osama bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, in a major battle near the Afghan border, an area where many believe the world’s most wanted terrorist has been hiding, three senior Pakistani officials said Thursday.

Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said a “high value” target was believed trapped in South Waziristan, a semi-autonomous tribal belt that has resisted outside intervention for centuries.

Hundreds of troops and paramilitary rangers pounded several fortress-like mud-brick compounds with artillery and fired on them from helicopter gunships, as entrenched suspects fought back hard. An intelligence official said “dozens” were killed Thursday.

At least 41 people —15 soldiers and 26 suspected militants—were killed earlier this week in fighting in the area.

The officials told the AP that intelligence indicated the forces had surrounded the Egyptian-born al-Zawahri in an operation that began Tuesday, the first major break in the world’s most intense manhunt in more than a year.

The region has long been considered the most likely hiding place for the top two al Qaeda leaders—but there was no indication bin Laden was with al-Zawahri. However, the two have traveled together in the past, and bin Laden and al-Zawahri appeared jointly in video tapes released shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

The United States has offered a $25 million reward for information leading to al-Zawahri’s capture. Thursday, the US House of Representatives doubled the reward for bin Laden’s capture to $5O million.

“We have been receiving intelligence and information from our agents who are working in the tribal areas that al-Zawahri could be among the people hiding there,” a Pakistani military official said. “All of our efforts are to capture him.”

An intelligence official and a senior politician in Musharraf s government both confirmed the account. All spoke on condition of anonymity.

The intelligence official said information was also coming from some of the 18 suspects captured during Thursday’s operation. Some said during interrogation that al-Zawahri was wounded in the raid, the official said. Officials said helicopter gunships and artillery would continue attacking at dawn Friday.

Musharraf told CNN that he’d spoken with the commander of Pakistani troops in the region. He said the commander reported “fierce resistance” from a group of fighters entrenched in fortress-like buildings, and that there were indications a senior figure was surrounded.

“He’s reasonably sure there’s a high-value target there,” Musharraf said. “liiey are not coming out in spite of the fact that we pounded them with artillery.”

The news came the same day as Secretary of State Colin Powell announced in the capital, Islamabad, that Washington was bestowing the status of “major nonNATO ally” on Pakistan, and praised the country for its help in the war on terror.

National security adviser Condoleezza Rice told CNN she could not confirm the reports.

But, she said, if al-Zawahri were captured, “it would be of course a major step forward in the war on terrorism, because he’s obviously an extremely important figure. But I think we have to be careful not to assume that getting one al Qaeda leader is going to break up the organization.”

White House spokesperson Scott McClellan said that the Pakistanis “believe there is a high-value al Qaeda target possibly involved” in the operation. He said he had no information on who the target was. He said Bush was informed of the search.

The 52-year-old former Egyptian surgeon is believed to be the brains behind the terror network, with bin Laden serving more as spiritual leader and financial backer.

Often seen by bin Laden’s side in videos released to Arab television networks, the doctor was also thought to serve as al Qaeda leader’s personal physician.

Al-Zawahri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad was believed behind the assassination of President Anwar Sadat during a Cairo military parade in 1981. He merged the organization with al Qaeda in 1998.

Al-Zawahri has continued to spread his message since the Sept. 11 attacks in audiotapes, the latest broadcast on Feb. 24, in which he taunted President Bush and threatened more attacks on the United States. Another tape criticized France’s decision to ban Islamic headscarves in schools.

Under pressure from Washington, Pakistan has arrested more than 500 al Qaeda suspects and has turned most over to the United States. The last major capture was that of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the former al Qaeda No. 3, who was nabbed March 1, 2003, in a house near the capital and quickly delivered to US custody. He is being held at an undisclosed location.

The Pakistani military has been pursuing 100 tribal leaders whom authorities want to roll into their efforts to hunt al Qaeda in the Waziristan frontier. So far, about twothirds have said they would provide information and turn over any Islamic militants in their territories, American defense officials said.

The others face destruction of their homes by the Pakistani military, officials said.

There have been several anti-terror sweeps in the

tribal regions in recent months, but none so bloody as the operation that began Tuesday. Pakistani troops have moved 70,000 troops into the border region, and Musharraf, Monday, promised to rid the tribal areas of foreign terrorists.

US officials say they are watching to see if the Pakistani actions send militants back into Afghanistan, where US troops operate freely. The US military Sunday announced the start of a new operation to track down senior al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives.

Two American soldiers were killed and two others were wounded in fighting Thursday in central Afghanistan, the US military said. At least five attackers were killed in the battle.The military said that because of the location, the fighting did not appear to be directly related to the siege against al-Zawahri.

NATO prepares to send troops to Kosovo by

Nicholas Wood

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

NATO ordered PRISTINA, Kosovo to Kosovo Thursday as reinforcements peacekeepers struggled to stem a wave of ethnic violence across the province, in southern Serbia.

The additional 1,000 troops, which will bring the overall NATO force to 19,000, began arriving Thursday evening, at the end of a second day of violence between ethnic Albanians and Serbs in which at least 31 people have been killed and hundreds injured, according to UN officials.

Most of the dead were ethnic Serbs.

Security forces appeared at a loss as to how to reassert their control over the predominantly Albanian province as crowds attacked Serbian neighborhoods for a second night.

Throughout the day, scores of Serbian houses were set on fire, and according to a spokesperson for the Serbian Orthodox Church, at least 20 churches were burned.

‘There is a pattern emerging,” said the Rev. Savajanjic, speaking by phone from Decani monastery in western Kosovo.

The UN evacuates Serbs, and immediately afterwards Albanians come in and burn” houses and religious sites. Most Albanians are Muslim.

In one of the most serious incidents Thursday, Swedish soldiers opened fire when gunmen emerged from a large group of Albanian protesters near the ethnically mixed village of Caglavica, south of Pristina, the provincial capital.

The demonstrators had been trying force their way through a barricade set up to protect Serbs’ houses.

The shooting appeared to reflect a toughening of the peacekeepers’ response to the violence. Earlier in the day, the German commander of the force, Gen. Holdger Kammerhoff, announced at a news conference that “proportionate force” would be used to ensure the troops’ safety.

Gunmen exchanged fire with UN police in Pristina and in Lipjan, according to a police spokesperson, Derek Chappell.

Many Serbian leaders voiced outrage that the United Nations seems unable to protect Serbs, who make up just under 10 percent of the population. But local leaders also noted that some Albanians had gone out of their way to save Serbian neighbors from attack.

In Decani, the Albanian mayor intervened to prevent youths from marching on the monastery, Sava said.

In Kosovo Polje, a town three miles west of Pristina, heavily armed UN police evacuated up to 50 Serbs who had sought refuge in the town headquarters.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Federal regulators WASHINGTON opened a new front in their crackdown on offensive broadcasts Thursday, saying that

almost any use of the F-word on over-theair radio and television would be considered indecent.

The Federal Communications Commission overruled its staff and said an expletive uttered by rock singer Bono on NBC was both indecent and profane. It marked the first time that the FCC cited a four-letter word as profane; the commission previously equated profanity with language challenging God’s divinity.

The FCC Thursday also proposed maximum fines for the broadcast of the Howard Stem radio show and for a program on two Florida radio stations owned by a Clear Channel Communications subsidiary.

Commissioners said they did not propose a fine for Bono’s expletive during the 2003 Golden Globe Awards because they had never before said that virtually any use of the F-word violated its rules.

The FCC specifically rejected earlier findings that occasional use of the Fword was acceptable.

“Given that today’s decision clearly departs from past precedent in important ways, I could not support a fine retroactively against the parties,” said FCC Chair Michael Powell, who had asked his fellow commissioners to overturn the agency’s enforcement bureau’s finding.

that they could now face significant penalties for similar violations,” Powell said.

NBC did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. A publicist for U2 said Bono was in the studio in Ireland and was not immediately available for comment.

But the decision was cridcized by the Parents Television Council; a conservative advocacy group whose complaints led to the FCC’s review.

“Bono may have used the F-word as an adjective, but today’s FCC ruling turned it into a verb directed at American families,” Council President L. Brent Bozell 111 said.

He said the decision “does nothing to hold NBC accountable for this obvious breach of commonsense decency standards.”

The FCC received hundreds of complaints about the Golden Globes broadcast after Bono, the lead singer of the Irish rock group U2, said, ‘This is really, really, f—brilliant.” The enforcement bureau said last October thatBono’s comment was not indecent or obscene because he did not use the word to describe a sexual act.

To avoid a repeat incident, NBC aired this year’s Golden Globes broadcast on a 10-second delay. ABC did the same with its telecast of the Academy Awards show.

In another decision Thursday, the FCC proposed fining Infinity Broadcasting the maximum $27,500 for a Stern show broadcast on WKRK-FM in Detroit.

force, making it one of Washington’s staunchest allies. But while many Poles feel historically close to the United States, public support for the mission in Iraq has been tepid.

A poll last week found 42 percent of adults in favor and 53 percent opposed.

The CBOS survey had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Kwasniewski’s criticism of the prewar intelligence also puts him in line with widespread public sentiment in Western Europe, just before Poland joins the European Union May 1.

“Poland so far lacked a necessary balance before the EU entry. It was too proAmerican,” said Janina Paradowska, a commentator for the Polityka weekly.

“Now is the time to have better European cooperation.”

State Department spokesperson Adam Ereli, reacting to reports ofKwasniewski’s remarks, also said Washington does not believe Poland is wavering: ‘We have no reason to have any questions or doubts about Poland’s steadfast support of the mission in Iraq.”

As early as November, a poll found 75 percent of Poles feared the country’s role in Iraq would lead to a terrorist attack at home.

“I don’t think the president’s remarks are linked only to the situation after Madrid, but in general... with the effects of involvement in Iraq, and with the fact that the public opinion is tired with our involvement,” Bronislaw Komorowski, a former defense minister, told TheAssociated Press.

Another reason for Kwasniewski’s blunt remarks may be Polish disappointment that wartime loyalty has not led to more Iraq reconstruction contracts and ...

raised with Bush.

“Kwasniewski addressed his remarks to Washington, not to Warsaw,” said Zbigniew Lewicki, head of the American Studies Center at Warsaw University. “Kwasniewski was in Washington in January to demand a visa waiver and contracts and came back with nothing.”

The Polish-led force in Iraq includes 1,300 troops from Spain, whose new government has said it wants to withdraw them by June 30 unless the United Nations takes control of peacekeeping.

Kwasniewski, speaking after a meeting of his top security officials to discuss Poland’s response to the Madrid bombings, said he will urge Spain to reconsider its decision.

Earlier Thursday, Kwasniewski said Poland may start withdrawing its troops from Iraq early next year, months before previously planned. He cited progress toward stabilizing Iraq.

“Everything suggests that pullout from Iraq may be possible after the stabilization mission is crowned with success and, in my assessment soon, it may be the start of 2005,” Kwasniewski told RMF.FM radio. Previously, Polish officials said they might start withdrawing troops in mid-2005.

Spain’s new government made its pullout threat shortly after winning elections Sunday, three days after the Madrid bombings.

Kwasniewski insisted that Poland where security officials have acknowledged lacking experience in dealing with terrorist attacks—would not bow to terror.

“We are facing the same threat as Spain,” Kwasniewski said in the radio interview, but he stressed that “terrorism must be combatted, also with force.”

WAR from page 2 The White House cast Bush’s visit to the home of the 101st Airborne Division as a thank you for service and sacrifice; the division has lost 65 soldiers in Iraq, more than any other military post. But in the context of new terrorist attacks in Iraq and a presidential campaign dominated by the debate over the US-led invasion, Bush’s trip had intense political overtones.

On the same day that Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee, began a vacation at his home in Sun Valley, Idaho, Bush was caught by the television cameras in a sea of cheering troops, a backdrop meant to emphasize what the president considers his greatest electoral strength, his record on national security.

Bush was dressed for the occasion in a green military jacket with a name tag that said “George W. Bush, commander in chief,” pinned to his chest.

“One year ago tomorrow, the Armed Forces of the United States entered Iraq to end the regime of Saddam Hussein,” the president told the troops under a brilliant sun on a muddy parade ground, with enormous American flags flying over the crowd. “After his years of defiance, we gave the dictator one final chance. He refused. And so in one year’s time, Saddam Hussein has gone from a palace, to a bunker, to a spider hole, to jail.”

The president’s speech was part of a weeklong effort by his campaign on the anniversary of the invasion to highlight Bush’s experience in fighting terrorism and undermine Kerry as weak on defense.

While Bush was meeting with 46 families of soldiers who had died in Iraq, his campaign released the text of a new antiKerry commercial that attacked the Massachusetts senator as a waffler who voted

against an $B7 billion emergency spending measure last fall for American troops.

The ad ends with Kerry’s own words: “I actually did vote for the $B7 billion before I voted against it.” In a statement, the Kerry campaign called the ad misleading and “an attempt to hide George Bush’s record of broken promises.”

Bush never mentioned Kerry by name in his remarks, but it was clear who he had in mind when he told the troops that “I want to thank every member of Congress who voted in favor of the $B7 billion supplemental that is meeting the needs of our troops in the field right now.”

Although the troops frequently cheered Bush and shouted “hoo-ah” at the applause lines in his speech, the reaction was still muted compared to the roaring response the president got on his last visit to the base, during the war in Afghanistan on the day before Thanksgiving 2001, when he said that “Afghanistan is just the beginning on the war against terror.”

Since then, the storied 101st Airborne Division, whose members parachuted behind enemy lines on D-Day in 1944, was part of the action that killed Saddam’s sons, Odai and Qusai. The division dispatched 18,000 troops out of 20,000 to Kuwait before the war began, and sent 1,600 soldiers by helicopter to Mosul, in northern Iraq, in one of the longest air assaults in military history.

But the division lost 17 troops when two helicopters collided in Mosul Nov. 15. “It was a pretty horrific night,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Bruch, an infantry battalion commander who was in Mosul at the time, and returned to Fort Campbell last month, after 11 months in Iraq. “Securing the area was pretty tough on all the soldiers.”

Bruch was one of the thousands listening to Bush’s speech and he declined to comment on the presidential election.

THE CHRONICLE

from page 1

knowing how to react,” Filippi added. “They continued with their daily lives. I saw some people still going down into the Metro, and many restaurants and stores were still open as if nothing had happened.”

Soon enough, however, the significance of the event sank in. By Friday evening, a quarter of Spain’s population had gathered in streets and city squares across the nation in a demonstration of solidarity and anger toward the then-unidentified perpetrators of the attacks that claimed over 200 lives.

“I went to the demonstration on Friday; it was surreal,” Herman said. “I climbed on top of a mailbox and the view took my breath away. Four huge streets converging onto one plaza, and you couldn’t see the pavement for all the heads, umbrellas and banners.”

Even outside Madrid, news of the attacks was received with much solemnity. Sophomore Emily Crutcher, who was visiting a friend in San Sebastian about six hours outside of Madrid, said she entered a large plaza around noon March 11 to find about 200 people gathered for a moment of silence for the morning’s victims.

For native Spaniards currently residing in the United States, the March 11 attacks brought on emotions of worry, indignation and a longing to return to Spain. Spanish instructor Sonia Moreno, who is from a neighborhood just 10 minutes from Atocha and who still has many family and friends in Madrid, said she wanted “to touch the people I love and feel close to them, and to see the train station again, to see it working again and full of life just like before.”

Moreno said it was difficult to get in touch with loved ones in Spain immediately after the attacks. “I was so grateful for e-mail,” she said. “I sent everyone a message saying, ‘I can’t get through by phone. I need to know if you’re all right. I love you.’ I couldn’t rest until I knew.”

Rafael Lopez-Barrantes, a senior lecturing fellow in Duke’s drama program and honorary consul from Spain to North Carolina, said he wished he were back in Madrid “just to be more supportive of their pain, so I don’t reel so remote and removed.”

Lopez-Barrantes said he has been comforted somewhat by the showings of solidarity in his native country. not

He said his next planned visit to Madrid will probably come next fall.

Since the March 11 attacks, many media oudets have likened Spain’s situation to that of the United States immediately following the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. Filippi said this was not a bad comparison, despite the differences in scale of devastation.

“Although far fewer people died than on Sept. 11, the emotional impact stays the same,” she said. “Innocent people were targeted presumably for political reasons, and this shatters the naive assumption of constant safety, much like the effects of the [World Trade Center] for Americans.”

Herman, however, said her own experiences of the Sept. 11 and March 11 attacks were distinctly different.

“It was nothing like Sept. 11,” she said. “For me, the feeling ‘they’ve attacked my city’ is much more difficult to come to terms with than ‘they’ve attacked my country.’”

Lopez-Barrantes noted that terrorism is not new to Spain and that the March 11 bombings reminded him of the relatively recent era in Spain’s history when the country was still ruled by dictatorship. “It’s not like in the United States,” he said. “In Spain, there has always been a battle against terrorism, like many other European countries.”

He added that the level of worldwide cooperation against terrorism at this time will aid Spain in bringing those behind the Atocha bombings to justice.

Although he lauded the solidarity that has arisen out of the March 11 attacks, Lopez-Barrantes said it was unfortunate that outgoing Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar allowed himself to “fall on the trap of terror” immediately after the bombs went off.

“Fingers were pointed at ETA, the opposition party, which was a mistake,” Lopez-Barrantes said. “He should not have speculated. That’s exactly what terror wants, is for you to react with fear.”

Margaret Riley, assistant dean of Trinity College and director of the Office of Study Abroad, said there have been no talks of pulling students out ofMadrid because the U.S. Department of State has not issued a travel warning to Spain, nor has it suggested that Americans leave the country. She added that no students have indicated a plan to leave the program early because of the attacks, nor have their parents called for their immediate homecomings.

from the remains of six houses that had been set afire the night before.

The scenes were reminiscent of the evacuation of Serbian refugees at the end of the Kosovo war, in 1999, when about 100,000 fled the province.

In the same town, forensic teams began to pick their way through the remains ofburned houses and the Serbian hospital in search of human remains. None had been found by Thursday evening.

In Pristina, hundreds of demonstrators roamed the streets at intervals throughout the day, sometimes chanting the initials of the Kosovo Liberation Army, the ethnic Albanian guerrilla group that fought against 'Viigoslav security forces during the war.

By nightfall, dozens ofriot police had gathered in the center of the city to protect the main U.N. buildings from possible attack. The crowds chose not to take them on and moved on to attack the last remaining Serbian Orthodox church in the city. By 11 p.m., two buildings next to church, a priest’s house and the offices of a foreign charity were on fire. Police and soldiers attempted to disperse the crowds with tear gas, but their action came too late to save the buildings from destruction.

Later, in the same area, gunfire could be heard, and a U.N. police spokesperson said a Bulgarian officer had been shot in the leg.

Earlier, foreign U.N. employees were advised to restrict their movement. The charred wreckage ofU.N. vehicles served as reminders that the unrest was aimed as much at them as at Serbs.

As the United Nations sought to restore law and order, many international officials were trying analyze how and why their control seemed to fall apart so quickly.

The clashes appeared to have begun as a spontaneous response to the drowning of two Albanian children in Mitrovica. One boy who had been with them said they had been chased by a group of men with dogs.

Albanians blamed the deaths on Serbs.

But the fact so many people took so quickly to the streets was seen by some as evidence that problems stemming from the 1997-99 war in Kosovo have not been resolved.

QUAD FEES from page 1 Additionally, he said the money would replace President Nan Keohane’s discretionary funding, which currently subsidizes many cultural events. Moneta said he wished to make the support permanent as the president’s tenure comes to an end.

“I want this to be a permanently budgeted item,” he said. “The alternative is to have this money come out of the tuition price, and I didn’t want to fight for more tuition money.”

While acknowledging the funding of OSAF was an important task, Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli said he wished administrators would more frequently consult students when considering raising fees.

“Fee increases are a logical way to dedicate funding, but increased student engagement would make the process clearer

for all involved,” he said IN OTHER BUSINESS: Moneta also presented the plans for the renovation of the Bryan Center walkway. The new plaza, which will connect the Bryan Center, the West Union Building and surrounding areas, is expected to open up space for outdoor dining and event planning.

“It’ll hold the most dramatic of festivals and it’ll hold lots and lots of vendors,” he said. “But on any given day, it will also be a welcome place to sit down and hang out.”

Construction on the plaza is slated to begin this summer and the project will take a year to complete. Moneta said challenges from the construction, including maintaining a path of travel and excessive noise, could affect the campus.

“The logistics of this are pretty dramatic, and I don’t want to suggest to you that it’s not tricky to [keep the walkway open during construction],” he said.

FCC from page 6

Commissioner Michael Copps dissented from the decision, saying the commission should have moved to revoke the stations’ licenses. “The time has come for the commission to send a strong message that it is serious about enforcing the indecency laws of our country,” he said.

Clear Channel executive vice president Andrew Levin said, “We’re as determined as ever to make sure that we don’t have any violations in the future.”

Federal law bars radio stations and over-the-air television channels from airing references to sexual and excretory functions between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when children may be tuning in. The rules do not apply to cable and satellite channels or satellite radio.

The House earlier this month voted to increase the maximum fine for indecency to $500,000. Similar legislation is pending in the Senate.

said fines against Stern accounted for alhalf of the $4 million in penalties proposed by the FCC since 1990.

The FCC also proposed fining a subsidiary of Clear Channel, the nation’s largest radio station chain, the maximum $55,000 for a broadcast on two Florida radio stations, WAVW in Stuart and WCZR in Vero Beach, where the host conducted an interview with a couple allegedly having sex.

Commissioners noted that they acted against Clear Channel on the complaint of a listener who did not have a transcript or tape, a departure from past practice.

“Complaints should no longer be denied because of a lack of tape, transcript or significant excerpt,” Commissioner Kevin Martin said. most

bringing a Canadian presence to campus.

“We have a speakers series where we attract the most prominent Canadians,” he said. “Every Canadian prime minister who has been in office for a significant period of time since 1968 has spoken at Duke.... We [also] offer Canadian Studies-specific teaching, and undergraduates can get a minor or a major [through the program].”

Students and faculty affiliated with the program also undertake research projects related to Canada. “[Political Science Professor] Alan Kornberg is engaging in the only major study of voting patterns in this year’s Canadian federal election,” Byers explained. “It’s a massive study, and it will be incredibly influential.... This reflects back on Duke because it will be quoted in papers across Canada and only strengthen our reputation more.”

Political science graduate student Tom Scotto, an American, is currently studying the fragmentation of Canada’s political party system.

“What makes [Canada] sort of fascinating is that it’s one of the world’s oldest democracies that seems to always have its troubles: separatist movements [and] many of the same issues as America like multiculturalism and bilingualism,” Scotto said. “These issues that the United States is only scratching the surface of, Canada is and has been dealing with. It’s also a country that partially defines its identity by its differences with the United States.”

Professor John Thompson, chair of the history department and a Canadian Studies instructor, said his aim in educating students about Canada is to give them a perspective similar to Scotto’s.

“I want to teach them about Canada, but in teaching about Canada, I’m also hoping to teach them about themselves so that they can analyze the United States and its

Aside from the program, individuals north of the border are also influential in establishing ties between Canada and the University.

“We have a very active Duke Alumni Club in Canada,” said Gilbert Merkx, vice provost for international affairs.

“Members of the club, some of whom are parents rather than alumni, have been very helpful with putting us in contact with people who can come here as speakers.”

Canadian Gretchen Doores, a freshman, said she decided to come to Duke predominately because of alumni influence.

‘The first time I ever really heard about and got interested in Duke was at an alumni meeting in a hotel in Toronto,” Doores said. “I met a ton of alumni who were Canadian. They were all amazing people who had done very we 11... so that inspired me because I thought, T want to be an alumna like that.’”

Doores, however, said even Canadian students who have no knowledge of Duke’s Canadian Studies program or contact with Duke alumni know about the University for other reasons.

“When most people hear the name, they associate Duke with either the medical school or the basketball team,” Doores said. “When I told people that I was applying here, they knew it for one or the other of those things.”

The growing influence of the alumni club and the Center for Canadian Studies, along with the continued exodus of many Duke graduates to professorships in Canadian universities, promises to broaden the University’s “trading” relationship with Canada—possibly as soon as next week.

“We are having a major visit from a high-level delegation from the University of Montreal who are coming to meet with deans and directors of programs,” Merkx said.

“It’s a very fine institution, and I suspect that we will have a deepening of academic relations that will be followed by student exchanges.”

that’s about the price point,” Riddell said. “We are trying to encourage a change in [students’] mindsets that they can have fun going to a ballet on Friday night and then maybe go out afterwards and talk about it.”

Riddell also announced plans for a “galvanizing event in the arts” for the 2005-2006 season called the Provost’s Event in the Arts. The event would create academic discourse centered around a large presentation.

“It will be an event that gets planned over a period of time in conjunction with several academic programs so that it becomes a point for teaching, perhaps a point for research... and a more visible part of the cultural scene in that particular year,” Riddell said.

Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services, asked if the new Duke Performances would curtail the efforts of the Duke University Union, which also presents professional arts. Riddell said that groups such as the Union would retain autonomy, but added that co-productions between arts groups and Duke Performances would allow shows to qualify for the $5 price tag.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: President-elect Richard Brodhead made his first appearance at an Academic Council meeting, giving informal remarks peppered with humor and positive observations from what he called his “period of learning” about the University.

“I have had the very elaborate, sometimes strenuous and almost always exhilarating tutorial of Duke,” he said. “The mailman’s arms are tired from carrying the boxes ofmaterials that have been sent to my home.”

He also offered anecdotes from his on-campus tours of Duke and added that he was gready impressed with the “amazing collaborativeness” he had seen among the various schools.

Duke trounces Yale in tennis: Bring by

Chrissie Gorman THE CHRONICLE

Squeezed between a tough week in Hawaii, which included victories over Notre Dame and Tennessee, and a big home matchup with No. 7 North Carolina Sunday, the No. 5 Duke women’s tennis team cruised to a 7-0 win over Yale yesterday afternoon in the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center.

“We didn’t play great, but we competed well, and that was the reason we scheduled this match coming back from Hawaii with our UNC match coming up on Sunday,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “We needed a match where I knew that we were going to be more talented than the other team, but we needed to compete well. That was the exact reason why we played this match.”

Despite losing the No. 1 match, Duke was able to capture the doubles point with Amanda Johnson and Saras Arasu winning at No. 2 and Kristin Cargill and Jenny Zika winning at No. 3.

This was the third match for Tory Zawacki and Julia Smith playing together at No. 1 doubles. The pair fell to Yale twins Ashley and Karlyn Martin 9-7.

‘They didn’t play great,” Ashworth said.

“We played really well our last two matches in doubles.”

Johnson and Arasu fought to a 9-8 victory over Aimee Kim and Rashmee Patil in a match that was close throughout. The No. 3 match was an easy 8-2 win for Duke’s Cargill and Zika.

After winning the doubles point, Duke swept the singles matches with dominating showings in three of the matches and gritty performances in the others.

At No. 1,Amanda Johnson, ranked fifth nationally, came out with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Karlyn Martin.

With each player’s seven-match singles

win streak on the line, Zawacki and Zika were able to come out on top in two hardfought matches.

Zika, at No. 2 singles, had to overcome an early lead by Yale’s Christine Alford to come out with the 6-2, 6-2 win. “[lt was hard] especially when I was down at the beginning,” Zika said. “It wasn’t very good to start. She played a really hard topspin [so] it took some time and then it was totally fine.”

Although she was able to win in two sets, Zawacki had to overcome a deficit in both to secure the victory. The final score was 6-4, 7-6 in her No. 3 match.

‘The playing is going to come; I’m not worried about the playing,” Ashworth said about Zawacki. “I knew we wouldn’t hit the ball great, and she’s a perfect example of that today. She didn’t hit the ball well, but she completed well enough to win.”

Smith and Cargill recorded solid wins at four and five, respectively. Parker Coyer made her Duke dual meet debut with a lengthy No. 6 singles 7-5, 6-4 win over Kim to end the afternoon’s play.

“It was a pretty hard match, especially since I haven’t played one in two months,” Coyer said. “Once I got into the match, I started playing well. The first set she was always ahead and coming back from being down set point and eventually winning the set [was hard]. She hit a lot of high balls and didn’t make many errors.”

With the Bulldogs easily out of the way, the Blue Devils are looking to Sunday’s match with the Tar Heels. The rivals’ last meeting came last season when Duke defeated UNC 4-2 to win the 2003 ACC Championship. This time around, Johnson will face UNC junior Aniela Mojzis, ranked No. 16 nationally in singles. In the ACC Tournament, Mojzis

wax poetic, Maryland fans curse and Cameron Crazies shout until they’re hoarse.

During the men’s basketball team’s 96-61 victory over Alabama State, the sophomore marksman’s shooting touch was on its way back from parts unknown, where it had spent the last four games. The only question remaining is whether Redick’s dead-on precision will be completely effecdve in time to help the Blue Devils advance through the rest of the NCAA Tournament.

Redick’s long-range shots are essential to Duke’s long-term tournament hopes, as anyone who saw Redick’s abysmal 1-for-ll threepoint shooting in the Blue Devils’ 69-65 loss to Kansas last year can tell. The sophomore’s renowned shot has helped Duke throughout the season, providing a scoring threat that could spread out defenses and give his team frequent boosts in momentum.

The three-pointers had not been falling very often for Redick until halftime of Thursday’s game: The Roanoke, Va., nadve had gone 4-for-25 from beyond the arc in his last 9 halves, most notably missing a late-game trey in Duke’s overdme loss to Maryland in the ACC Championship game that would have given the Blue Devils the lead.

In his first half ofMarch Madness play since the Kansas debacle. Redick seemed to lack his characteristic confidence. He did not put up a shot for the game’s first 13 minutes, and went into the half 0-for-4 from the field.

“I think part of the reason I wasn’t shooting was because I was being a mental headcase,” Redick said. “Also, the way the flow of the game was going with [State’s] matchup zone, they weren’t leaving me open.”

Something changed at halftime, because Redick scored on a graceful baseline jumper a mere seven seconds into the second frame. In the next nine minutes, Redick hit 4-of-b from bonus territory, calling to mind his more successful games this season. The entire crowd at the RBC Center seemed galvanized when Redick hit his first three-point field goal, shouting its approval as he shook his defender and nailed a jumper from die right wing with 19:19 left in reguladon. Aldiough he only had tallied five points by diis dme, Redick was clearly a palpably different player than he had been in the first half, due to some words of wisdom from the coaching staff.

“We not only talked toj.J. [at halftime], we talked to our team,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t become the No. 1 seed and win a regular season championship without him shooting; you need to keep shooting and stop putting so much pressure on yourself.”

The final statistical line for Redick was a competent but unspectacular 5-for-13 from the field, with 4-for-12 performance from long distance. This pedestrian line belies the return of SEE REDICK ON PAGE 14

out, and Duke came out of the huddle nailing a barrage of shots en route to a 19-7 run and 33-14 lead. Daniel Ewing fueled the run with two three-pointers and a spectacular layup on his way to a

team-high 18 first-half points.

“I took what was given to me, had

open looks, took my shot and just tried to make plays,” Ewing said.

After Duke’s initial onslaught, it looked as though Alabama State was incapable of penetrating on the Blue Devils’ stingy man-to-man defense.

Nearly every Hornet was flustered on offense, except the wily 5-foot-10 guard Malcolm Campbell. The Alabama State senior was the only player on his team to

break double-digits, and played with a passion that kept the Blue Devils’ guards at bay. But, by the end of the opening 20 minutes it was apparent that even Campbell’s offensive production was not going to solve Alabama State’s 48-27 deficit.

The Blue Devils had another pleasant surprise in the form of sophomore Shavlik Randolph. The Raleigh native hopped off the bench with rubber bands for legs and scored a team-high 20 points, including 13 in the opening half. Randolph’s greatest asset to the ball club was his aggressive offensive rebounding, earning him 12 free throw attempts. Shelden Williams also contributed in the paint, throwing down a dunk over a Hornet in the early going en route to 16 points. “[Randolph] played well the whole time he was out there,” Williams said. “He was aggressive the whole time. It was the Shav

we need to do well in the tournament.”

Duke opened the second half on a 100 scoring binge that included consecutive shots by Redick. After going 0-for-4 in the first half, the sharpshooter finished the game with 14 points, including four bombs from behind the arc.

Aside from routing Alabama State, Duke answered some of its’ own questions heading into Saturday’s matchup with Seton Hall, which bested Arizona 80-76 later Thursday evening in Raleigh.

Senior captain Duhon played only 12 minutes in the contest, but his absence proved other Blue Devils could rise to the occasion.

“I think JJ. definitely got his shot back,” Randolph said. “I think everyone played solid, and we didn’t have to exert too much effort as far as a close game is concerned. For now, we can put this behind us and concentrate on the next game we’re going to play.”

Ninth-seeded Arizona RALEIGH (20, 10) has one of the most talented starting lineups in the nation and held a

With 14:58 left in the game, Seton Hall went on a 23-5 run to grab its first lead since the first 42 seconds of the contest. Whitney and guard Andre Barrett were the catalysts for the improved play despite both men’s muscle cramps, with Barrett hitting unguarded jump shots created by

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) The little team from the Big Apple was every bit as good as promised.

Led by 26 points from hotshot guard Luis Flores, 12th-seeded Manhattan defeated fifth-seeded Florida 75-60 in the first round of the NCAA tournament Thursday an “upset” that really wasn’t much of an upset at all.

“I know America’s going to look at it as an upset, but behind closed doors we don’t,” Manhattan forward Dave Holmes said. “We know we can play with any team on any night.”

THE CHRONICLE

RALEIGH Seton Hall point guard Andre Barrett may have been celebrating after his team’s 80-76 victory over Arizona Thursday night, but for the following 36 hours the only thing on his mind will be a deep shade of blue. Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s No. 1 seeded Blue Devils (285) dismantled No. 16 seed Alabama State 96-61 in their first round game, prompting a showdown between the Pirates (219) and Duke 1 p.m. Saturday at the RBC Center in Raleigh, N.C. “We’re in the time of season where if we lose, no matter how we lose, there’s no tomorrow,” Blue Devils forward Shavlik Randolph said. “We’re just thankful we have a tomorrow and we’re not taking that for granted.”

Barrett and the rest of his Seton Hall teammates are certainly glad they have tomorrow to look forward to, but the Pirates on-court leader has his work cut out for him. The marquee matchup Saturday afternoon will be at the point guard slot. Duke’s Chris Duhon would have squared off with Barrett, the Pirates leading scorer at 17 per contest, but with his injured rib cage, swingman Daniel Ewing or reserve point guard Sean Dockery may take on the test of stopping the Seton Hall fireplug.

The Blue Devils defensive key Saturday will be preventing Barrett from penetrating gaps and marking guard John Allen or center Kelly Whitney, who led the Pirates with an impressive 24 points during their opening round victory.

At 6-foot-8, Whitney is the tallest starter on the Seton Hall roster, a potential problem for the Pirates. Duke will likely pound the offensive glass with 6-foot-9 Shelden Williams and 6-foot-8 Luol Deng, giving them a sizable advantage in the post.

Reserve Shavlik Randolph, who led Duke with 20 points and five offensive rebounds Thursday, may play a large role in

Whitney had 24 points and 14 rebounds to pace the Pirates, who were emotionally led by Barrett. The guard contributed 19 points and six assists.

Arizona’s weakness during the stretch run was its defense, as Barrett and guard John Allen seemed able to penetrate at will, stealing the lead from a Wildcats team that has had trouble keeping leads throughout the season.

“It just seems like a repeat of troubles we’ve had all year long,” Arizona head coach Lute Olson said. ‘We have trouble living with prosperity.”

The Wildcats were led in scoring by Andre Iguodala, who had 19 points but was curiously silent towards the end of the game, tallying only a pair of points in the game’s final six minutes.

Arizona was within two points with 7.9 seconds remaining, but Whitney drained two free throws to give Seton Hall the victory.

“We had it in the grasp of our hand,” said Arizona point guard Mustafa Shakur. “We just stopped playing with that sense of urgency.”

Sean May and North Carolina Pull Out a Win Over Air Force DENVER (AP) Roy Williams won his NCAA tournament debut with North Carolina against the school that gave former Tar Heels mentor Dean Smith his first coaching job.

Sean May had 14 points and North Carolina pulled away in the second half to beat scrappy Air Force 63-52 in the first round Thursday night.

Smith was an assistant at Air Force from 1955-57 before becoming the winningest coach in NCAA history in his 36 years at North Carolina. But not even the dean of coaching could have predicted how much the Tar Heels would struggle against the undersized Falcons.

North Carolina (19-10), the sixth seed in the Atlanta Regional, had trouble with Air Force’s deliberate offense and swarming defense from the start, and didn’t get any breathing room until going on an 110 run midway through the second half.

The Tar Heels shot just 32 percent in the first half, but went 12-for-22 in the second to move on to Saturday’s second round against Texas. The Longhorns have to be relieved about facing North Carolina after struggling early against Princeton’s pace-dragging style in the first game.

REDICK

from page 12

Redick’s three-point prowess and sassy demeanor, key components of any Duke team which is firing on all cylinders.

“Coach told him that we haven’t been as good as we’ve been the whole season without him shooting the ball,” forward Shavlik Randolph said. “We need the cocky, confident JJ. that everybody knows: He’s not going to be as good unless he has the confidence that he’s going to hit every shot and that’s what he had during the second half.”

Redick’s communicative gesticulation and swagger seemed to return exacdy when his shots began to fall.

Leading a second-half Duke unit that was largely manned by Blue Devil reserves, Redick became more animated, and gave confidence to his more inexperienced teammates.

“Personally, I just wanted to have fun in the second half,” Redick said. “I haven’t had fun in about a week playing basketball. The team has played well at times, but I haven’t.

Selfishly, I wanted to have some fun in the second half.”

Other components of Redick’s game, usually merely adequate complements to his often-spectacular shooting, were strong in the win, as JJ. had four rebounds and a steal, thanks to hustling play on defense. Most notably, Redick’s transition defense was improved from its ineffective norm. The shooting specialist was a thorn in the side of the high-flying Hornets’ fast break, creating a nuisance and disrupting what might have been easy scores for Alabama State.

Redick’s teammates did everything they could to make things easier for their slumping compatriot. The Blue Devils went into halftime with a 48-27 cushion, on the strength of 19 first-frame points by Daniel Ewing.

“I thought his teammates did a great job of finding him,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s like that in any sport: You don’t get a hit for awhile..., then somebody before you does something so that you can get a better pitch.”

If J.J.’s tournament looks like his second half against Alabama State, Duke will likely be able to hit a few more.

The Huskies, so deep in talent, didn’t have to rely on Ben Gordon to lead the way as he did in the Big East tournament when center Emeka Okafor sat out two games with back problems. Anderson finished with 22 points, Gordon and Taliek Brown each scored 14, and Okafor had 15 points and 14 rebounds, his 21st double-double of the season, tops in the nation.

Syracuse Prevails Over Brigham Young Gerry McNamara added to his repuDENVER (AP) tation as a clutch shooter especially in the NCAA tournament.

McNamara hit nine 3-pointers and had 43 points, helping the defending national champions hold off pesky Brigham Young 80-75 Thursday in die first round.

He made six 3-pointers in last year’s championship game against Kansas and was even better in this one, fin-

ishing 9-for-13 for the third-highest total in NCAA tournament history.

“Gerry had as good a performance as I’ve ever seen in college basketball,” said coach Jim Boeheim, who tied

Denny Crum for 18th all-time with his 675th win.

“Gerry was just in another world today. I don’t think you’ll see the likes of that kind of game too many times ever.”

Syracuse (22-7) shot 53 percent and got 20 points from Hakim Warrick but couldn’t breathe easy against 12thseeded BYU until McNamara hit three free throws in four attempts in the final 16 seconds.

The Orangemen, the fifth seed in the Phoenix Regional, advanced to face Maryland in the second round Saturday in a matchup of the last two national champions.

They can thank McNamara, who made his first six 3pointers and added three more in six attempts in the second.

“Right from the beginning, from that first shot I took, it felt good,” said McNamara, who is 15-for-23 from 3point range in his last two NCAA tournament games. “So whenyou have it, you have to roll with it. You have to keep throwing it up there.”

held ofFETSU 76-73 in the East Regional Paul the Atlantic Coast Conference’s rookie of the went 12-for-15 from the line Thursday, and had year seven assists against two turnovers in 37 minutes.

“Coach (Skip) Prosser and my teammates have the ultimate confidence in me,” Paul said. “A lot of times I say they have more confidence in me than I have in myself. At the end of the game, Coach kept giving me the ball, so I thought it was my responsibility to come through.”

Domonic Jones had 22 points and seven assists for the Rams (23-8), who were making their first NCAA appearance in eight years.

Virginia Commonwealth showed signs of nervousness early, falling behind by 11 points in the first 6 1/2 minutes. But the Rams rallied behind Jones, and even led by six points midway through the second half.

The teams were tied going into the final 90 seconds, thanks to VCU’s second-half 3-point shooting and Wake Forest’s inability to hit free throws. Wake Forest shot just 17for-27 at the line, including a 13-for-21 effort after halftime.

The Rams, meanwhile, hit 8 of 13 3-pointers in the second half and shot 51 percent for the game.

In the end, though, Paul made the difference.

Wake Forest Moves to Second Round DePaul Sneaks by Dayton in DoubleAlter Comeback Victory Against VCU Overtime to Advance to Second Round RALEIGH, N.C. Chris Paul was in complete control in his first NCAA tournament game.

The Wake Forest freshman star had 22 points and made several key plays to lead the fourth-seeded Demon Deacons past Virginia Commonwealth 79-78 on Thursday.

Justin Gray scored 15 points to help the Demon Deacons (20-9) advance to the second round for the third straight year. Jamaal Levy overcame a sprained left knee to add 10 points and 10 rebounds, including the go-ahead basket.

Wake Forest will face 12th-seeded Manhattan, a 75-60 winner over fifth-seeded Florida, in the second round of the East Rutherford Regional.

Paul assisted on Levy’s go-ahead basket with a minute left and hit four free throws in the final seconds to help the Demon Deacons survive their second first-round scare in as many years. Last year, second-seeded Wake Forest

It came down to free throws, and Drake Diener was perfect, propelling DePaul to the NCAA tournament’s second round for the first time in 15 years.

Diener scored 10 of his career-high 28 points in the second overtime, sparking the Blue Demons to a 7669 victory Thursday night over Dayton. The junior guard was particularly strong from the foul line, hitting all eight attempts in the second overtime and all 10 in the game.

“We fought them tooth and nail, and it came down to heart,” DePaul coach Dave Leitao said.

Actually, it came down to who could sink a foul shot.

DePaul finished 23-of-40 from the line, including Andre Brown, who missed all 10. Dayton hit only 12-of-23 attempts.

BUFFALO, N.Y (AP)

MARCH 19. 2004

“We were shooting poorly from the line, but what kept us in was they were missing them, too,” Diener said.

“Seeing one guy keep missing makes you think more, but once we started hitting a couple, it stabilized everything.”

The seventh-seeded Blue Demons (22-9) advanced to play second-seeded Connecticut on Saturday in the Phoenix Regional. The game will pit Leitao against former mentor Jim Calhoun, whose team beat Vermont 70-53.

Leitao played for Calhoun at Northeastern, and was an assistant under him at Northeastern and Connecticut before being hired by DePaul two years ago.

DePaul ended a four-game tournament losing streak, and won for the first time since beating Memphis State

66-63 in 1989.

Ramod Marshall had 17 points for the Flyers who lost their fourth straight tournament game. They haven’t won since beating Illinois in 1990.

In a game that featured 11 lead changes, the Blue Demons went ahead for good at 64-63 when Diener hit two free throws with 2:13 left in the second overtime.

After Dayton’s Mark Jones hit a running jumper with 33 seconds left to cut the lead to 71-69, Diener sealed the victory by hitting two free throws with 31.4 seconds

remaining.

SETON HALL from page 13 from Duke Duhon and Sweet both entered in the class of 2004, but Sweet opted to leave school and originally headed to St. John’s before setting up camp at Seton Hall.

The Blue Devils other shooting guard, Ewing, will also be a high priority on the defensive stop list for the Pirates.

When necessary, the junior can take over a game if the rest of the Duke squad is not clicking offensively.

The Pirates tough defensive mentality will be met by a Duke team playing with desire. Duhon’s injury and Redick’s shooting slump will be the deficiencies Seton Hall must exploit if they are to upset the Blue Devils Saturday.

Duke’s inside game will prove to be the critical aspect of the contest since the Pirates are undersized and undermanned at those positions. In the end, Seton Hall will have to overcome a Blue Devil squad that is superior in both the painted area and backcourt.

David Shiffman seems to think that there is some golden standard of knowledge base by which all Duke students should be judged.

We come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and, while lack of knowledge in one field may be indicative of ignorance, it is by no means a mark of stupidity.

After all, if we already knew everything, we wouldn’t be attending the class, we’d be teaching it.

We all came here to learn and fill in those knowledge gaps.

By the same token, one could use the same line of reasoning as Shiffman’s and argue that lack of knowledge in the proper

use and handling in power tools (a problem becoming increasingly relevant as we plan our loft/climbing wall for next year) as a basis for stupidity.

Everyone

at

Duke is here because there is

something exceptional about them, and rather then taking people down because they haven’t benefited from the same enlightenment that Shiffman has, he should use his profound wisdom to educate his fellow classmates.

Finally, Shiffman’s argument fails the absurdity test because whales can’t ride unicycles.

No tresspassing

girls sat in a hotel room playing drinking games (because hotel rooms are both cheaper than bars and void of shady guys who think Duke is a community college). Despite the fact it was 8 p.m., the gaggle of girls already had exhausted the host of usual drinking games and eight handles. Never-have-Iever had degenerated into “never have I

some only made out with him to the tune of “Toxic” at Parizode’s, and some give him their highest approval rating when a friend is going through a dry spell and is on the prowl. But no one gets too attached to him or hurt when he moves on.

Throughout the game, there were many collective groans and laughs. (“You too? Oh, I’m sorry. I should have warned you.” and “Goes to show the power of beer.”) Guys fell into one of three catI egories: the Robs; the guys who girls had once had a thing for but for whom it would be ridiculous to still call dibs on; Beckett and the guys girls still Sex and the Chapel cared about who were

ever been bored with this game but still played it because I want to get drunk,” and at that point no one was coordinated enough to play shoulders without putting someone’s eye out (or at least smudging their mascara).

So they played a new game: Incest. “It works like this,” Daisy explained, waving a too-full coconut rum and coke. “I say the name of someone I’ve hooked up with.

Everyone who has hooked up with that person drinks, and then one of the people who drinks says the name of a guy they have hooked up with, and so on.”

“Hookup as in hookup or hookup as in kiss?” Rachel asked. A good question, as it clearly drastically changes the numbers (think dance floor make-outs; there were several kissing whores in the

Whitney

room).

“Kiss, which in theory should include hookups too,” Daisy giggled. “Okay, I’ll Rob Dickens.”

Rob Dickens was one of those special guys with whom seemingly everyone had hooked up and about whom no one gets too attached or possessive (for the former quality). Rob was precisely the type of guy who makes this drinking game work and who allows Duke to be the incestuous cesspool that it is. Predictably, six girls drank.

Every group of friends has a Rob. Some of the friends have dated him, start.

touchy subjects.

After much visual hesitation, Andi finally spoke up. “Okay, fine, I want to know. Has anyone hooked up with him?” For most of the girls in the room, the name was a given, but the girls who were less close to Andi asked for his name. “Court Easterlen.”

Her ex-boyfriend, of course. The tension in the room could have been cut with a knife as everyone looked around to see if anyone drank.

Everyone is someone’s ex or obsession, but that does not mean that person alone should be able to date you (thank god). And more often than not, because you tend to be in the same social circles as the people you date, you likely know an ex and/or stalker of anyone you would be interested in. At Duke it would be a numerical impossibility to only hookup with people who had never had any relationship of any kind with anyone you know. We are a giant web of Six Degrees of Rob Dickens, after all.

Anne was grappling with this dilemma. She was interested in Lance, who had recently exited a relationship with Sami (play Days of Our Lives theme song here). Several of Anne’s friends were friends with Sami, but Anne knew her less well than she knew her accounting text (so not well at all). From their mutual friends, Anne knew Sami still liked Lance, and for the award-winningly sensitive Anne, this produced a dilemma.

“I feel terrible,” Anne said, stirring

Whitney Beckett is a Trinity senior. Her column appears every other Friday.

Just one.

“Three years ago! Before you were even together! You know about that!”

Olivia immediately interjected to dispel the accusing stares.

“Yes, yes. That’s fine. It all is fine,” Andi said. “I was just curious....”

Everyone has that person (or two, or eight in the cases of some crazy possessive people) who must be off-limits to their friends. Andi’s close friends clearly could not have pursued Court without jeering equivalent to the full force of the Cameron Crazies’ booing against UNC. But who does “dibs” calling apply to?

her straw around in her margarita. “Sami sounds like a wonderful person, and I don’t want to hurt her.”

“But you don’t know her,” Sally reassured Anne. “I couldn’t hook up with Lance, because I am friends with Sami, but I assure you, it would be fine if you did. Besides, how would you like it if no one hooked up with you because Allen still cares about you?”

Point made. Only one’s close friends can be expected (with penalty of death and/or taking orgo) to respect one’s dibs. Moreover, one must not go dib crazy and call dibs on more than two or three people (general rule of thumb; the ex you loved, the crush you have always been obsessed with, and the person you are currently dating-the last being common courtesy). Duke has at least four eligible bachelors, so that still leaves one for your friends.

Please. The auto industry adapted smoothly after Presidents Ford and Carter passed higher fuel efficiency standards during the 1973 and 1979 oil crises. And there is plenty of evidence to show that government regulation, when implemented correctly, is much more effective at fostering industrial innovation than a hands-off “voluntary” approach that is coaxed into action only by catastrophe.

What’s that term economists are so fond of—creative destruction? The only creative mind-power being put to work is this administration and auto industry’s PR spin machine, and the only things being destroyed are clean water and air. United States automakers should be more worried about their international competitiveness since China, a developing nation without a history of environmental protection, recently passed automobile fuel-efficiency standards stricter than our own. Real creativity comes with innovative proposals like the labor-backed Apollo Project, which will create new, innovative jobs with public and private investment in energy efficiency.

Fortunately, we can still find inspiration in the true bastions of American innovation and creativity: college campuses. Both Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill have nationally-recognized green-energy programs, which allow students to spare some coal or Mid-East oil (and the world from nuclear catastrophe, depending on how one looks at it) for some clean wind power. These initiatives and others will be showcased at a Southeastern Renewable Energy Conference being held at Chapel Hill this April 2-4. It’s a good start, but without change at the top today; well, let’s just say I don’t want to see what’s in store for 2020.
