Duke steamrolled its way to Atlanta this weekend, playing blanketing defense and draining more than half ofits shots en route to taking its first two games of the NCAA Tournament by over 30 points. But for a program heading into its seventh straight Sweet 16tonight, too much is not enough.

“Our confidence level is pretty good,” sophomore guard JJ. Redick said. “We all think we did a pretty good job this past weekend, but there’s still some things we can improve on.

Applications

dropped sharply this year, as foreign students increasingly steered clear of Duke and other American schools. Particularly down in this year’s applicant pool is the number of students from China, as total graduate applications from that country dropped from about 2,000 to about 1,000.

Nationwide, international applications for Fall 2004 are down 32 percent, according to a study by the Council of Graduate Schools. Dean of the Graduate School Lewis Siegel estimated that Duke’s applicant pool dropped from about 8,000 to about 7,000 this year, meaning that almost all the difference came from China.

Siegel said a variety of factors contributed to the steep decline, with the main cause being post-Sept. 11 U.S. security policies that have dissuaded foreign applicants from coming to the United States. He said, despite reports suggesting otherwise, acquiring a visa is no more difficult for a student this year than in past years. Siegel instead believes foreign students are worried about an unwelcoming environment in the United States.

‘There’s a generalized feeling that once foreign students come here... they’re simply not going to be as welcome,” he said, adding that some fear they will need to report all their activities

Chances are, you’ve heard of Anthony Vitarelli Often dressed in a sports coat and tie, Vitarelli is one of the most visible leaders and übiquitous names at Duke. Now, after a busy term as Campus Council president, he hopes to accomplish a wider range of goals by becoming the next leader of Duke Student Government.

Although the Vorhees, N.J., native has concentrated on Campus Council, the junior public policy studies and economics double major has a range of leadership experiences to draw from, including cofounding an environmental organization called the Duke University Greening Initiative and serving a term as a DSG senator his sophomore year.

“Being Campus Council president has given me the experience in obtaining student input when making decisions that impact undergraduates, Vitarelli said.

“My experience with the Greening Initiative taught me how to manage a large, well-funded organization.... I would look forward to the challenge of expanded ad“

cylinders.”

With two other No. 1 seeds already having fallen in this year’s Big Dance and with a third-round loss last March still smarting in their heads, the Blue Devils (29-5) have remained modest in gearing up the steamroller again for a showdown in the regional semifinals with Illinois (26-6) at 10 p.m. in the Georgia Dome.

“I don’t think it was that we played ‘lights-out’ basketball,” said head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who will coach his 800th game for Duke tonight. “I think we played well, but not as well as the scores would seem to indicate.”

The Fighting Illini, on the other hand, are about as ‘lights-out’ as it gets these days. Bruce Weber’s fifth-seeded squad has won 14 ofits last 15 contests, most recently a 92-68 dismantling of Cincinnati in which the Big 10 regular season champs shot a blistering 64 percent from the field. But Weber wants his young team to play at what he calls “a magical level” just a little longer.

“The intensity level, the ball movement, finding the open man —they’ve all SEE ILLINI ON PAGE

streamline DSG ministrative jurisdiction.”

Although Campus Council governs decisions related to housing and residential life, as DSC President, Vitarelli would expand his focus to students’ physical and mental health, the importance of increased academic opportunities and the regulation of the impacts that campus construction creates. Vitarelli pointed to students not taking advantage of Counseling and Psychological Services, the lack of pass/fail classes or other options promoting academic risk-taking as issues for DSC to address.

“The DSC president should offer a broad vision for the organization, Vitarelli said. “The president should not micromanage small projects.... The role should be used to affect long term, large scale change for the University community.”

Vitarelli also hopes to improve the accountability and accessibility of DSC by such measures as holding weekly office hours in the Marketplace and on the Bryan Center walkway, enforcing more stringent attendance rules SEE VITARELLI ON PAGE

U.S. posits basis for control of Iraq By

Thom Shanker John Burns andNEWS SERVICE NEW YORK TIMES

BAGHDAD, Iraq With fewer than 100 days to go before Iraq resumes its sovereignty, United States officials say they believe they have found a legal basis for U.S. troops to continue their military control over Iraq.

After months of concern about the legal status of the 110,000 U.S. troops who are expected to remain here after the occupation formally ends June 30, the officials say they believe an existing United Nations resolution approving the presence of a multinational force in Iraq, approved by the Security Council in October, gives U.S. com-

manders the authority needed to maintain control after sovereignty is handed back.

Showing his confidence that the approach was grounded in international law, Paul Bremer, the chief of the occupation authority, issued an executive order this week specifying that the newly formed Iraqi armed forces be placed under the operational control of the U.S. commander, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who has been named to lead U.S. and allied forces after the transfer of political authority to the Iraqis.

Bremer and other top U.S. officials say they believe Security Council Reso-

lution 1511, which conferred the mandate for the U.S.-led alliance, can be used to provide legal justification for the U.S. military command to operate until Dec. 31, 2005. That is when a timetable agreed on by Iraqi leaders envisages the final transition to an elected Iraqi government.

The plan, the U.S. officials say, will require the Security Council to review the resolution before it expires in October. But the United States may also seek a new resolution, hoping to placate Spain’s new prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who has said that SEE OCCUPATION ON PAGE

Executive vice president candidates boast experience by

FJ EXECUTIVE

Laura Newman and Christina Ng THE CHRONICLE

The position necessitates experience, and electors will not be disappointed—all four candidates for executive vice president of Duke Student Government bring to the table comparably extensive experience with and knowledge of the organization.

But while their credentials might be similar, candidates Russ Ferguson, Elizabeth Ladner, Priscilla Mpasi and Andrew Wisnewski vary greatly in the approaches they have suggested for increasing the organization’s efficiency.

Current Executive Vice President Clifford Davison said he is pleased with this year’s marked difference in the number of candidates—he had only one opponent last year—and noted the benefit of the candidates’ previous experience with DSC. “All have some experience, which is desired,” Davison said. “For the executive vice president, freshness is a disadvantage. Candidates should be familiar with the way DSC functions in order to be a successful executive vice

president.”

Ferguson, a sophomore who currently chairs the subcommittee on graduate-undergraduate communication, hopes to capitalize on his experience as he runs for executive vice president for the second time. In addition to highlighting his two years of experience as a senator, Ferguson also emphasized his involvement in student organizations across the board.

‘The executive vice president is an internal position and relies heavily on experience,” he said. “Not just [from] DSG, but also across campus.... My experience is in bringing things together.”

In order to realize more immediate results for DSG, Ferguson plans to focus on specific, short-term issues—such as placing computers and ePrint stations in the Bryan Center and creating loading and unloading zones for student cars—rather than becoming consumed by long-term planning.

“A lot oflong-term planning goes on, which is really admirable to do when you’re not going to be here to see results,” he said. “But there’s so much long-term planning that we forget the short-term planning—and that’s what really affects students. I’d like to see little things to help students, to make Duke a better place by getting these done and done now.”

Ferguson also suggested using the DSG website to make every senator’s voting and attendance record available to the public and improving enforcement of the attendance policy. ‘The executive vice president needs to enforce the attendance policy, which is currendy not really enforced. You’re there or you lose [voting] rights,” he explained.

serve students. She stressed communication between DSG and the University administration, as well as between DSG and the student body, as the proper method for improving service to students.

“Communication will ensure that all student voices are heard... and that students are aware not only of issues, but of what dialogue is taking place,” Mpasi explained.

Specifically, Mpasi wants to expand DSG’s public resources department and create student task forces that would be able to concentrate on specific issues and ensure that goals are accomplished —for example, a financial aid task force.

With her experience in a variety of student groups, including the Catholic Student Center and Project BUILD, Mpasi noted that “working with many groups allows for more awareness of issues reaching many different groups.” In addition to her direct contact with diverse organizations, she emphasized that she is a student herself and thus understands student concerns.

In contrast to Mpasi’s focus on improving the relationship between DSG and the student body, Ladner, a junior and president pro-tempore for two years running, said she plans to fix administrative flaws and improve the organiza-

lion’s internal structure.

Most notably, Ladner would split the role of the executive vice president for future years.

“The roles the executive vice president has right now are so diverse... including both executive and legislative roles,” she said. Because she attributes DSG’s inefficiency to “an inherent problem in the structure,” by assigning the executive vice president either the legislative or executive duties, but not both, she hopes to increase efficiency.

Additionally, Ladner said, “the executive vice president sets the tone for the organization,” and she emphasized the importance of enthusiasm, organization and openness. “Students have to feel that they can approach you,” she said.

Wisnewski, a junior and currently vice president for community interaction, also said personal qualities are essential in such a demanding position. “An executive vice president needs persistence to work every week and stay on the ball,” he said. “I also have enthusiasm—the energy to work, and assertiveness —[so] whatever work I choose to do gets done. They seem contradictory, but it’s a great mix.”

His platform rests on increased management efficiency and accountability and a focus on “realistic committee goals.” He suggested the executive vice president attend vice SEE EVP ON PAGE 10

Springternational to benefit Measles Initiative Christy Choi THE CHRONICLE

by

Hurtled by the academic choo-choo train into the final weeks of the year, sun and sleep deprived students will today temporarily escape their Perkins stacks prison.

The Duke University Union and International Associadon are offering fun, food and entertainment with a colorful, international flavor during its annual festival Springternational—this year, with increased events and a community twist.

Organizers hope to give the festival a social cause with the choice of the Measles Initiative as their selected charity. The organization was chosen because of its potential for unifying the different cultures and countries represented in the festival and in the University.

“It is a cause that is non-political, non-religious, and is able to bridge cross-cultural gaps. It would fit into the Springternational theme very well by celebrating the diversity ofthe countries,” said junior Wonne Cao, president of the International Association.

Although it is the third year the event has raised funds for a charity, it is the first time the organizers have widely advertised the service goal. By centrally locating fundraising games—which include pie throwing, eating contests and finger painting —on the Chapel Quad, they hope more students will participate and more funds will be raised.

Proceeds from the sale of Springternational T-shirts, as well as the after-party will all go to the Initiative.

The goal of the Initiative is to increase awareness of the countless deaths of children in Africa due to measles, a disease rarely thought of as fatal in the developed world.

Organizers hope to raise funds to allow children in underdeveloped countries access to vaccines commonly available in most countries—a single dollar will help vaccinate a child against the disease.

“It is a community service project that will reach all students at Duke,” said senior Sugandhi Chugani, one of the co-chairs of Springternational.

The focus on die community front for this year’s festival extends beyond the normal charity cause to include community participation in the festivities—elementary and middle school children from the Durham area are invited to the University for the day.

Additionally, the festival this year should break all kinds of records, from country pardcipation and variety of performances to the number of quads hosting activities.

An unprecedented 40-plus countries will be represented, each hosting booths promoting their cultures. Students can visit various stalls to learn more about the country and its culture.

“This festival is a chance to meet students from other

This year's Springternational will include a fashion show, a Kenyan puppetry group and a plethora offood from around the world. And beer.

countries,” said Cao. “This is an opportunity for those who want to take part in something that doesn’t require a yearlong commitment [of a club].”

The activities, which this year include new events such as an international fashion show and a tent where participants can smoke sheesha, or more commonly known as hookah, has extended to a third quad. Two performance stages, instead of one, will be set up to host the various musical and cultural performances.

‘The acts that we have this year outstrip the ones we had last year by a long run,” said Union Special Events Chair Monique Bruinsma, a senior. At 12:45 p.m., a touring Kenyan puppetry group called Talenta will perform, and later in the afternoon, Story Hill, a two-person band from Montana in a band called ‘Story Hill,’ who have an acoustic feel [will perform].”

However, these only skim the extent of the cultural Latin and African Jazz group, Different Drum, and performances by various students groups from all walks of campus life will be showcased in addition to magicians, tarot card readers and jugglers.

But, for those who just want to sit bac shoes and relax after a hard week of always the beer kegs. In addition to the beer and the promised gorgeous weather, the ease of this year’s option of purchasing food on points may also lure students.

‘This is one of the most phenomenal events that take place on campus. It’s one of the few things that get the majority of the undergraduates out,” Bruinsma said. ‘Many consider it the premier social event of the year. It allows for the students to interact together cohesively.... All we’re doing is crossing our fingers that it doesn’train.” events—a

Campus Council expresses security qualms by

Issa Hanna

THE CHRONICLE

Campus Council originally intended to meet Thursday night to address a resolution regarding housekeeping in residential halls. But amid reports of sexual violence this past weekend, the student legislators decided they would devote their session to a discussion ofcampus safety.

After the heated discussion, members came to the conclusion that they would pursue a number of policy objectives, including, among other initiatives: quicker distribution of information in the future should another assault occur, increased checking of identification by campus security forces and more safety education for undergraduates.

Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli heavily stressed the importance of immediate alerts from University leadership, citing the widespread confusion that unfolded as a result of administrators delaying their official announcement of the crimes until late Tuesday afternoon.

“I think there was a serious failure on the part of [the Office of Student Affairs] to disseminate information in a timely way,” he said.

Assistant Dean of Residence Life Deb Loßiondo sympathized with Vitarelli’s sentiments.

‘They wanted to make sure the information they put out was accurate, but the information they shared with students could have and should have been shared immediately—if not Saturday night, then at least Sunday morning,” she said.

Some of the female legislators were extremely upset with how administrators handled this situation, asserting that the longer the information is withheld, the more student safety is compromised.

“If a woman gets assaulted by a man she doesn’t know, I want to know where to be [more cautious],” said Anne Browning, Kilgo Quadrangle representative.

Loßiondo added that a change in policy would likely

occur in the near future to prevent such a delay from ever

happening again. The typical practice has been to notify

the media and news outlets before the student body, but Loßiondo said that Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta will change the policy to ensure in the future that students are the first to know.

As policies change and student awareness peaks, some council members expressed regret that it required the rueful events of this past weekend to inspire in the university community such an intense devodon to security.

“It’s scary that it takes a really serious incident like this to say something about it,” said Sarah Freeman, an at-large member of the council. “Security has always been an issue [for administrators], but it was never a priority until this [past] weekend.”

Nicholas researchers study CO2 by

Steve Veres

THE CHRONICLE

Deep within the Duke Forest a team of researchers are immersed in the hope of understanding the future of tree growth in a carbon dioxide-enriched atmosphere.

However, the outlook for the future was somewhat dimmed due to growth rates discovered slower than originally expected.

The recently published study began in 1994 and simulates the perceived atmospheric conditions in 2050. The experiment explores the relationship between higher levels ofcarbon dioxide in the atmosphere and faster rates of plant growth.

“When the experiment first began we reported 20 to 25 percent growth increases,” said William Schlesinger, dean of the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Sciences and co-principal investigator of the experiment. “We are now looking [at] 10 to 20 percent higher rates of growth.”

The increased growth rate is partially caused by the increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide traps heat, thus raising temperature and causing global warming—the result is an uncertain effect on everything from rising ocean levels, chang-

ing weather patterns

to

plant growth

rate.

Larger plants would intake more carbon dioxide, reducing the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere and slowing global warming.

This is currently occcring, as Schlesinger warned that under the enriched carbon dioxide atmospheric condition, poison ivy is growing at a 70 percent faster rate.

Another concern was raised towards the uniformity of growth in differing soil compositions. ‘The results show that the responses of the forest eco-system to elevated carbon dioxide is not as straightforward as originally thought,” said Ram Oren, coprincipal investigator of the experiment.

He explained that even though some forests will grow as the researchers predict, other forests growing on less enriched soil might not be as productive.

“Our hopes were unduly optimistic, and perhaps a bit of strategy should be to control the rate of [carbon dioxide] emissions rather than relying on forests to take up for our follies,” Schlesinger said.

The Bush administration’s climate change policy currently relies on the increased growth of forests to curb higher

carbon

dioxide

concentrations,

said

Schlesinger. ‘This finding makes it much more difficult to rely on that.”

However, the applicability of these findings is still being debated. Jonathan Wiener,

professor in the Nicholas School of Environ-

ment and Earth Sciences and an expert on

climate control policy, had doubts.

“I think an interesting question is whether in a future-warming world the constraints on nitrogen, other nutrients and the moisture content will be similar to the situation observed in the study or be changed by warming itself,” he said.

“Schlesinger’s results would need to be coupled with other forecasts for key variables that the study relies on.”

Even with the inherent possibility that the current dismal conditions could change any time in the future, Schlesinger, a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists, still hopes the scientific community will heed the study’s warning and take measures to change the current forecast.

“I think that we are facing a real collision of human demands on the planet both in number and resource consumption. We need to learn how to figure this out and how to respond against it,” he said.

Alleged al Qaeda tape calls for Pakistani uprising

By Sarah El Deeb THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO, Egypt A tape purportedly recorded by Ayman al-Zawahri, the No. 2 figure in the al Qaeda terror group, called Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf a “traitor” Thursday and urged people to overthrow his

government.

The pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera broadcast a seven-minute excerpt from a tape it received Thursday. Its authenticity could not immediately be verified, but the speaker sounded like al-Zawahri and made references to the Islamic holy book, the Quran, which is known to be al-Zawahri’s style. The speaker also called for a military uprising in Pakistan.

“Musharraf seeks to stab the Islamic resistance in Afghanistan in the back,” the speaker said.

“Every Muslim in Pakistan should work hard to get rid of this client government, which will continue to submit to America until it destroys Pakistan.”

Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Masood Khan said the government has no immediate comment on the purported al-Zawahri tape. When an al-Zawahri tape released in September called for Musharrafs overthrow, the government said it would not be deterred in its pursuit of terrorists.

In Washington, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he heard news reports about the tape and said if it was authentic, the speaker “is clearly an individual who is very high-ranking and is capable of, and has in the past killed innocent men, women and children. And so one has to recognize that.”

The tape comes as Pakistani troops are in the second week of a campaign along the Afghan border in South Waziristan, a longtime hiding place and stronghold of Islamic militants from al Qaeda, Afghanistan’s Taliban and their Pakistani supporters.

It was not known when the tape was made, but the speaker appeared to be referring to the conflict in South Waziristan when he said, “I call on the Pakistani army: you, poor army, what a miserable state Musharraf has put you in.... Musharraf ruins your natural fences—those tribes on the border—by engaging you in a fight with them. Then he removes your nuclear weapons.

‘Will you stay silent until Pakistan is divided again?”

The speaker repeatedly named the Pashtun and Baluch border tribes and urged them to close ranks with the Taliban against the Pakistani army.

‘Taliban and their supporters are your brothers,” the speaker said, “so how can you allow the agents of crusaders and Jews to hurt them?”

He used the word “crusaders” for Americans as Islamic militants often do.

The speaker said such military operations on the borders violated Islamic law by pitting Muslims against each other at America’s bidding.

“Every soldier who finds this act to be legitimate is an infidel, according to Islamic law,” the speaker said.

After Musharraf spoke hopefully of capturing a “highvalue target,” there was speculation that al-Zawahri might be in the rugged border area where local tribes have more power than the Pakistani federal government.

Pakistan Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayyat said Thursday that more than 50 terrorists have been killed in the operation. More than 150 suspects have been cap-

tured, said Brig. Mahmood Shah, chief of security in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

The speaker did not mention Israel’s Monday morning assassination of Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin, which suggests the tape was recorded before then.

Al-Jazeera spokesperson Jihad Bailout said the Qatarbased channel received the tape Thursday, but he declined to reveal how. The tape is 17 minutes long.

“Indications are that it is authentic,” Bailout said, “the voice, the nuances.”

In the United States, an intelligence official said the CIA was reviewing the tape to determine whether it was authentic. He spoke on condition of anonymity.

Vince Cannistraro, a former CIA counterterrorism chief, said the rapid response of the tape suggests that Al-Zawahri was nowhere near the Pakistani fight zone. He said the message was essentially a call to kill Mussharref. A Cairo expert on Islamic militants, Dia’a Rashwan of the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, said the tape indicated alZawahri was close to the action in South Waziristan.

“This is a counterattack. It reflects how he can feel the tremendous security effort exerted at the borders,” Rashwan said.

In urging the tribes to rally to his side, al-Zawahri seems to realize that the Pakistanis are much more dangerous for him than the Americans, Rashwan said.

The speaker also urged Islamic clerics to tell the Pakistani people “the truth about Musharraf, the traitor and killer of Muslims.”

‘They should incite the nation to expel the crusaders from Pakistan,” the speaker said.

“The crusade in Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya and Palestine is targeting Pakistan primarily, because America does not want Pakistan to be a special power in the center ofAsia.”

Al-Zawahri is believed to have provided much of the ideology driving al Qaeda since his Egyptian Islamic Jihad merged with Osama bin Laden’s network in 1998, experts say. The United States has offered a $25 million reward for his capture.

Siegel also pointed to changes in the international administradon of the General Record Examination, which is required for admission to graduate school and has been marked by widespread cheating at foreign test centers, as a cause for the decline in applicants. This year’s “extremely increased” security provisions for the GRE and for the Test of English as a Foreign Language have discouraged some foreign applicants and have also led to fewer test administrations abroad, as Siegel noted the number of students taking the GRE declined by the same proportion as the number of students applying to U.S. graduate schools.

At Duke, the departments most affected by the international dropoff have been electrical and computer engineering, the doctoral program in economics and physics, and, to a lesser extent, computer science, chemistry and some other to

engineering departments.

Professor Jeffrey Krolik, director of undergraduate studies for ECE, said applications for his department dropped from around 400 last year to only 237 this year, with most of the difference coming from Chinese and other foreign applicants. He noted, however, that the group of students discouraged from applying

was generally of a lesser caliber than the students who typically matriculate at Duke. As a result, he said, this year’s applicant pool was arguably as strong or stronger than last year’s.

The dropoff in international interest means there are now more American applicants than foreign applicants at the graduate school for the first time since 2001, Siegel said. The bulk of the applicants who opted not to apply to U.S. graduate schools are instead winding up in other countries like the United Kingdom, Germany and especially Australia.

Chinese students also may be increasingly seeking to further their education or career in their homeland as China begins to provide students with better post-graduate options. “The Chinese economy is so good that it’s not as attractive an alternative to go off to the universities and go to graduate school as it used to be,” said professor Curtis Taylor, director of graduate studies for economics.

A final explanation for the decline in Chinese applicants relatively unique to Duke is the mysterious months-long block of the University’s website in China that was only lifted in January. Other universities, including Princeton University and the University of Michigan, experienced similar blocks. Speculated Siegel, “Maybe this is China trying to send a message to us.”

Loßiondo agreed that much work still needs to be done, but she enumerated a number of improvements that University officials have made to improve safety, such as increasing lighting around residence halls, trimming bushes, multiplying the number ofemergency phones on campus and hiring more patrol officers to secure the campus.

OCCUPATION from page 2 he will withdraw Spain’s contingent unless the force is placed under clear U.N. control.

The Americans hope they will not be forced to rely on a legalistic argument.

They plan to negotiate with the interim Iraqi government in place after June 30 for the kind of “status of forces” agreement the United States has in dozens of nations where its forces are deployed.

But if negotiations snag—many Iraqi political leaders are often hostile to the foreign military presence—the Americans believe that they will be able to fall back on the U.N. resolution.

That remains to be tested.

Some Iraqi politicians maintain that the U.N. mandate was intended to lapse at the return of sovereignty. But U.S. officials, citing a passage in the resolution saying that the mandate would expire “upon the completion of the political process,” argue that it will not lapse until a permanent Iraqi government takes office.

European and U.N. diplomats said Thursday that U.S. control would still have to be approved by the Iraqis taking office June 30.

That control, said a U.N. official, “is not likely to survive the transferof sovereignty unless the successor government approves it.”

There were also questions about the effects of extending the primacy of the U.S. military.

The U.N. official said that while it would be a “practical reality” for U.S. domination to continue despite Iraqi self-rule, “it has to be done in away that’s not offensive to Iraqis and the international community, which emphasizes Iraqi sovereignty rather than Iraqi impotence.”

A European diplomat said that continued U.S. military control “sends the wrong signal” and “gives an impression of contin-

uing foreign occupation” in Iraq Nevertheless, in recent interviews, U.S. officials and military commanders said they were confident that they had found a way to avert the possible political crisis that loomed after Iraqi leaders made it plain that no status-of-forces talks would occur before June 30.

U.S. concern has focused primarily on Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, a Shiite cleric who has become a champion of the Shiite majority and of Iraqi nationalism and who has thrown a succession of political roadblocks in the path of the U.S. plan for transition to Iraqi rule.

He has rejected the interim constitution adopted by the Iraqi Governing Council, an advisory body handpicked by the Americans, and, some Iraqi politicians believe, could eventually try to derail the status-of-forces discussions.

One of the most influential members of the Governing Council who has close relations with the Americans offered support Thursday for the U.S. approach. The member, Adnan Pachachi, a Sunni and a former Iraqi foreign minister, said it made sense to rely on the resolution as a fallback. Pachachi also said he supported Bremer’s decision to put Iraq’s military forces under U.S. control.

Pachachi is favored to be the Sunni representative on the three-man presidency council that will head the interim government.

In an interview at his Baghdad home, he said all Iraqis, including Shiite clerics restive under the occupation, recognized it was in Iraq’s interest to have U.S. troops remain to fight the intensifying terror campaign of insurgents loyal to the deposed Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, and Islamic militants.

Pachachi said it had become common for Iraqis to say that it would be best if the country’s security passed into Iraqi hands after June 30.

Vitarelli’s time in Campus Council has allowed him to work closely with administrators. Deb Loßiondo, assistant dean of students for residence life, who acts as an administrative advisor to the Council, recommended Vitarelli wholeheartedly.

“Anthony ‘s one of the finest student leaders with which I have had the pleasure of working in 25 years,” Loßiondo said. “He is solid, well-spoken, very concerned about students, compassionate and not afraid to challenge the process.”

Sue Wasiolek, Dean of Students, has also worked with Vitarelli, on Campus Council and with other groups, and cited his commitment to the University.

“One thing that comes across strongly and clearly is that he really cares about Duke,” Wasiolek said. “I remember vividly sitting on a panel... and students were talking about study abroad, and Anthony said he wouldn’t consider studying abroad because he liked it here too much.”

“DSG should be responsive, efficient and flexible," Vitarelli said. “[DSG] should not lose the ability to respond effectively and rapidly to any unexpected administrative decision or campus event.”

The race for DSG president has narrowed, after junior Aaron Dinin dropped out of the race last weekend, to two Campus Council officers, Vitarelli and Communications Coordinator Pasha Majdi.

They have been on the Council together three years, but Vitarelli says that the race will not affect their friendship.

To improve accountability, Wisnewski emphasized the necessity of defining DSC

CONFLICT from page 2 Gaza in the near term is unclear. Dr. Mahmoud Zahar, one of its leaders in Gaza, said, “We are going to contest municipal elections.”

For now, the killing ofYassin has given Hamas a boost among Palestinians in Gaza. “Sheik Yassin’s death will give more momentum and more power to Hamas,” said one Palestinian Authority official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The Palestinian Authority in Gaza is already struggling. It is straining to meet payrolls and keep the lights turned on in ministry buildings. Its popularity has faded as Palestinians have come to view it as incompetent and corrupt.

By contrast, Hamas has built a network of schools and low-cost health clinics. Its leaders live modestly and have reputations as incorruptible.

Ahmed Qurei, the Palestinian prime minister, rushed from the West Bank to Gaza Tuesday to pay his condolences to Hamas, seating himself in a plastic chair beside Zahar under an awning set up for mourners in a dirt soccer field.

vying for the role, which he said demands more time than any other position within DSG. “I am thrilled to see four contestants that are willing and determined to take on the position,” he said. “Normally it’s hard to find people who are willing to, since the position has the longest hours.”

Davison said he disagreed with many candidates’ opinion that the flaws of DSG are rooted in its structure. Instead, he placed responsibility on the individuals that make up the organization. “[DSG’s ef-

ficiency relies on] whether the personalities have the potential to meet the bylaws or not,” he said.

But despite the candidates’ varying approaches to DSG efficiency and accountability, they will likely face the main challenge Davison’s identified for the executive vice president.

“One of the main issues the executive vice president candidates face every year is finding away to balance each of the issue of the four vice presidents below you,” he said, “[and] not savoring one vice president’s issues over another.”

Ever since Sharon said in early Februwill unite us in his death,” Qurei said. “We promise our people will be loyal to him.” ary that he was “working on the assumpA senior Israeli military official said that tion that in the future there will be no in the short term, the killing would weaken Jews in Gaza,” violence in and around the the Palestinian Authority. “There’s no strip has intensified. doubt about that,” he said.

For Sharon the proposed withdrawal has a strategic target and a major escalation.

Sharon’s security cabinet voted to approve political advantages, but it also poses a problem.

“It should be clear we are withdrawing, uprising four months later. Now Sharon is alarmed by what he sees as a surge in terif we withdraw, out of strength and not out rorism, his aides say. of weakness,” Steinitz said.

But in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the messages either side tries to send are usually much more convincing to itself than its adversary. Palestinians cling to their own message, that Israel is running from Palestinian resistance. That the fight has exacted an appalling cost from Palestinian society—a ruined economy, a culture of death among the young—only reinforces the importance to Palestinians of rejecting Sharon’s version.

For Sharon the killing ofYassin signaled Israeli resolve. Palestinians are giving it their own interpretation.

A child who called in to a Hamas radio station the day after the missile strike declared, ‘The assassination ofSheik Yassin is the assassination of the state of Israel.” Another child called in to say, “Victory is soon.” To support that interpretation, Hamas militants now feel the need to unleash devastating attacks.

Although the role of the executive vice president is mainly management of the issues the president and other vice presidents bring forth—rather than specific agenda-setting—the four candidates expect to encounter similar issues next year, especially campus renovations, Curriculum 2000, campus safety and annual review.

Commenting on this year’s candidates, Davison remarked that he was

THE CHRONICLE

The NCAA Sweet 16 is milk for some and bitter sweet for others. Having defeated Marquette Tuesday, Duke (29-3) advanced to the next round of tournament play to faceoff with Louisiana Tech (29-2) Sunday in Norfolk, Va. “I think our expectations with both [the men’s and women’s teams] are very lofty,” Blue Devil head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We expect to win the ACC Championship. We want to win, and plan for being in the Final Four and winning a national championship. So when your expectations are as lofty as they are, you work towards that all year long and I think you're prepared to play in the tournament.”

The Blue Devils have faced the Lady Techsters just one time before. In December 2002, Duke dominated Louisiana Tech, forcing 18 turnovers and holding the team to a 39.3 percent shooting average from the field in a 76-64 victory. But this time around, the Blue Devils will have to face a much transformed team.

Ranked seventh, the Techsters earned themselves a No. 5 seed in the tournament by winning their ninth straight Western Athletic Conference title. Their most recent victory, an 81-64 upset of fourthseeded Texas Tech in the second round capped off their 21-game winning streak.

Louisiana Tech is indisputably the toughest team Duke has had to face in the tournament thus far. In addition to the momentum provided by their growing streak, the Techsters have four players currendy averaging double figures in scoring.

A senior duo of Amisha Carter and Trina Frierson lead those four with 17.2 and 16.0 points per game, respectively, and together become a threatening inside presence.

“I have watched some tape on [Louisiana Tech]. They are very athletic,” Goestenkors said. ‘They have two dynamic post players. They run, they trap, they are very aggressive. It is going to be a great game. We are going to have to play the best post defense of the year. Usually you can handle one great post, but Louisiana Tech has two great posts. They are the two leading scorers.”

Fortunately, the Blue Devils have both Lindsey Harding's stellar bali-handiing abilitiesand collected on-court leadership will be pivotal in a very challenging size and experience on their side. Carter Sweet 16matchup pitting Duke against a program that has participated in eight national championship games. and Frierson both stand tall at 6-foot-2, but with Brittany Hunter and Mistie Bass at 6foot-3, Iciss Tillis at 6-foot-5 and Alison Bales at 6-foot-7, Duke easily trumps the Techsters in height. In addition, the taller Blue Devils are currendy having everything their way on the court so far in the tournament. Hunter, who is fighting through pain to play while recovering from a recurring knee injury, came off the bench in the second half against Marquette to score 12 points and grab six rebounds.

“Brittany [Hunter]'s always ready to play,” boasted three-time All-American and SEE TECH ON PAGE 18

Duke will have its toughest game of the year tonight against Illinois. The Blue Devils struggle most against teams that are quicker than they are, and the Fighting Illini’s best player, Dee Brown, is the quickest player still remaining in the tournament. Just as Duke mightily against struggled Georgia Tech and UNC this year, Krzyzewski’s squad will find it hard to have an advantage on the perimeter, thus taking away the team’s biggest strength.

Chris Duhon’s rib injury, which clearly affected his play in the first two rounds, makes things even more difficult for the No. 1 seed in the Atlanta regional.

Therefore J.J. Redick and Daniel Ewing both must play well in order for Duke to win. While this may not seem like a difficult thing for the Blue Devils to pull off, the two have not both scored over 15 points in the same game in a month. Redick’s and Ewing’s scoring production must come close to the 15-point mark in order to defeat Illinois.

Luol Deng also needs to play better than the equilibrium he reached during his stellar freshman season. The Sudan native has looked timid on the court at times this year, but also has appeared like a player with the potential to be the best in the history ofDuke basketball. Deng needs to bring his “A” game because he is the only player who can score at will in a tournament situation when he has confidence. Redick can get the hot hand from outside, but as his wretched performance against Kansas in last year’s Sweet 16 loss showed, he is too one-dimensional to be counted on in a must-win game despite leading the team in scoring average.

The big men only need to be solid for Duke to win, as this game SEE ALAMO ON PAGE 18

10-4 start for Kercsmar at fencing NCAAs by

Chrissie Gorman

THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s fencing squad has shown that power doesn’t necessarily come in numbers at the NCAA. Championships that kicked off yesterday in Waltham, Mass.

After the first day, which consisted offour women’s rounds, the two Blue Devil female rookie fencers have gotten off to a strong start, despite their inexperience at this level of competition.

Anne Kercsmar, who took third in the regional fencing competition to advance into the NCAA Championships, stands at 10-4 after the first day.

“Anne has kept calm, which is good,” Duke head coach Alex Beguinet said, noting that at the beginning Kercsmar was nervous about her first tr ip to NCAA’s.

The other freshman representing the Blue Devils, Ibtihaj Muhammad, stands in seventh place in women’s saber with an 86 record. Muhammad finished in a solid

second place at regionals.

While both fencers have fought to winning records, they have not defeatedall of the competition they have previously faced and defeated. Beguinet said that not having team support was part of the reason for a difference in the performances of the individual fencers. Because of the high level of compedtion at the championships, Duke was not eligible for team entry, but only sent individuals who performed well at the regional championships.

Today the young duo takes on its last three rounds.

Over the weekend, men’s competition will take center stage. Duke has freshman Benjamin Hendricks in foil and junior Nathan Bragg facing off in epee.

Bragg is the only Blue Devil who has NCAA competition experience.

‘The men should be fine,” Beguinet said. “Nathan has been here before. He’s ready for it.”

ST. JOSEPH'S QA HAWKS 04

THEY’RE GOOD! by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EAST

RUTHERFORD, NJ. Jameer Nelson, Delonte and Saint Joseph’s put on quite an eye-popping perforr for Billy Packer.

With their No. 1 nemesis watching from the front row fans chanting his name in the final minute, the Hawks sh were a worthy No. 1 seed. Nelson and West each scored Thursday night, keying an 84-80 victory over Wake Forest in th of the East Rutherford Regional.

The celebration almost came too early, though. Trailing Forest whittled its deficit down to 82-80 with 11.9 seconds left.

But then Nelson escaped a double-team trap in the come to West, who was fouled. West made both free throws, and th< cot began flapping in earnest.

The only thing left to do for coach Phil Martelli was walk court and shake hands with Packer, who had not seen the H; son before Thursday night. The CBS analyst and Wake Fores ing said the Hawks did not deserve a top seed, smiled broadl Behind them, Hawks rooters razzed Packer. He turned t said, “You’re exactly where you should be.”

Martelli claimed all along that the Hawks (30-1) should be as highly as schools such as Connecticut and Oklahoma State.

“We certainly don’t look like these teams, but we sure do play like them.”

The Hawks advanced to play second-seeded Oklahoma State, which banged its way past Pittsburgh 63-51, on Saturday for a trip to the Final Four.

Saint Joseph’s and the Cowboys have never met in basketball.

With that, Martelli walked to the locker room, shaking his fist at the Saint Joseph’s section. He was mostly silent during the game, saving his remarks

his players and the officials.

Despite all the back-and-forth buildup between Martelli and Packer—who both beat and lost to the Hawks in the NCAA tournament when he played for Wake Forest, this game was decided solely by the nation’s best backcourt.

“As a player, I don’t get into that stuff. I leave it to Coach, he does all the trash talking,” Nelson said.

Nelson, a unanimous pick as an All-American guard, and West ;ook over starting early in the second half when smaller Saint >seph’s ran into foul trouble. The Hawks reached a regional final the first time since 1981, when they were eliminated by Indiana. *at Carroll added 17 points and Tyrone Barley had 13 for the s. Along with Nelson and West, the four players combined for all of the Saint Joseph’s points n Gray led fourth-seeded Wake Forest (21-10) with 23 points and ams had 19. ACC freshman of the year Chris Paul was held scorei first 13 1/2 minutes and finished with 12. e took a dangerous turn for the Hawks two minutes into the second men John Bryant and Dwayne Jones each drew their fourth fouls. t, Martelli did the only thing he could with his already smaller a four-guard offense and putting his fortunes in the hands of West. It worked, with both of them hitting shots that turned a 43a 51-44 cushion. o provided the patience of a senior leader. When the action get a little wild, Nelson corralled a rebound and motioned to s to take their time as he walked the ball upcourt. to push the pace for the Demon Deacons. He ran up and down had trouble scoring as Barley, the designated stopper, came off hound him. t forced the ball inside right from the start, as expected. A couple :ets by bulky Williams, helped by Paul’s speed, put the Demon 5-6.

The Hawks hardly panicked. Instead, Nelson grabbed a rebound and went the length of the court, finishing off with a nifty crossover dribble for his first Unheralded St. Joe’s points 6 1/2 minutes into the game.

With Nelson and West flipping neat, quick passes to each other under the baswill face Oklahoma State with a trip to the ket, Saint Joseph’s quickly made up the difference.

OKLAHOMA ST. CQ COWBOYS »»

by

Tom Canavan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Solving EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ. one of the nation’s most rugged defenses got Oklahoma State to the regional final and kept alive hopes for longtime coach Eddie Sutton’s first national title.

Oklahoma State took Pittsburgh’s pushes, shoves and banging for 33 minutes, then delivered a knockout blow with a late 17-5 run that carried the Cowboys to a 63-51 win Thursday night.

“We played loose, got a chance to run and we capitalized on that,” Cowboys guard Janavor Weatherspoon said. “We like to get up and down, and in the second half we got opportunities. That was the difference.”

Oklahoma State (30-3) will meet topseeded Saint Joseph’s on Saturday in the East Rutherford Regional for the right to go to San Antonio for the Final Four.

It will be the sixth regional final for the 68-year-old Sutton. He has been to the Final Four twice, but he has never gotten to the championship game.

This one would be special. Just three years ago, two players and eight other people associated with the program died in a plane crash in Colorado.

After being held to 30 percent shooting from the field in the first half, Oklahoma State hit 16-of-25shots in the final 20 minutes against the Panthers’ aggressive man-to-man defense. The Panthers were the secondtoughest team in the country to score against this season, allowing 56.2 points per game.

Not only did the Cowboys shoot better,

but they kept Pittsburgh (31-5) off the offensive boards, allowing only four second-chance opportunities after giving up 12 in the first half.

“In the first half, we were playing to their level, which was slowing the game down,” Oklahoma State forward Ivan McFarlin said. “It made it hard to play defense on the halfcourt end. They gave us their runs and we closed it out with great defense.”

Tony Allen led the Cowboys with 23 points in a game that was a lot closer than the final score.

Carl Krauser had 15 points and Jaron Brown 11 for the Panthers, who lost in the regional semifinal for the third straight year. Pittsburgh senior guard Julius Page had five points on 2-for-ll shooting, ending an up-and-down season with another bad performance.

“It’s crazy,” said Krauser, who only had four points in the second half. “For me, it’s two times in a row and for some of us, it’s three times. It’s like a big cloud over our heads. I really felt that this was the team to make it to the national championship, but we just made things easier for them in the second half.”

Neither team led by more than five points in the first 30 minutes of a game that was almost like a heavyweight fight.

For each jab, there was a counter with both teams playing aggressive defense.

Pittsburgh and rookie coach Jamie Dixon seemed to have the edge because Oklahoma State struggled to find its uptempo game.

TECH

tri-captain Alana Beard. “She came in and the first thing she did was get an offensive rebound. She brings a spark. I don't know how someone can sit out a week and come in and just go 6-for-8. That's pretty impressive. That speaks well about how good she is and how talented she is.”

“Having her play was huge,” Goestenkors confirmed. ‘We wanted her to get in and get her feet wet and she made a big splash.”

Duke is also much better acquainted with the intensity both teams will face Sunday. While their records are almost identical, the Blue Devils have already faced two of the nation’s top-ranked teams, Tennessee and Connecticut, with a 1-1 ledger. Louisiana Tech has only had to face three ranked teams this year. Duke is also undefeated all-time against WAG teams.

In addition, this is Duke’s seventh consecutive Sweet 16 appearance, with a 4-2 record in regional semifinal action—not to mention having qualified for three Final Fours since 1999. So while Louisiana Tech may be considered a traditional power in the NCAA Tournament—they won three national titles and have played eight National Championship games—Duke would clearly qualify as a current power.

Driven by hunger and guided by experience and overall performance in the tournament thus far, an Elite Eight appearance by the Blue Devils wouldn’t appear to be so far away. The biggest problem for Duke is that its emerging vulnerability is one of the Techsters’ specialties. Against Marquette, the Blue Devils marked their season-high turnover tally with 26.

“I'm very disappointed with the poise on the offensive end,” Goestenkors said

FRIDAY. MARCH 26. 2004 117

after the matchup against Marquette.

“When we did take care of the ball, I thought we got good looks. We shot almost 52 percent from the floor. It was almost like we either turned the ball over or we scored. We will have to really improve in that area over the next couple of days.”

Louisiana Tech plays a tough player-toplayer defense, both on the ball and in passing lanes. This has resulted in an impressive defensive record of 24 turnovers per game and 14 steals per game. Against the top-seeded team in the Mideast, the Techsters should also be expected to utilize their extremely successful full-court press which has contributed to the latter statistic.

“It will take 40 minutes [to beat Duke],” Louisiana Tech’s head coach Kurt Budke said. “Our team can put up a perfect 40 minutes together because our team is playing good basketball. We are a balanced team and that is one way to get it done.

You have to defend and take their easy baskets away to give yourself a chance.”

Still, Duke has had to overcome larger obstacles and offers a tough defense as well. In this season’s matchup against UConn, the Blue Devils’ full-court press did not allow the Huskies across half court more than twice in the final four minutes of the game as Duke went on an 18-3 run led by Beard, who contributed 11, to win the game on a last-second shot.

In the end, the Blue Devils are both dominant, confident and still determined and driven in their quest for the championship, which will make them very difficult to defeat.

“I don’t really think I need to speak up,” Beard said. “We need to know what we need to do. We’ve been to two Final Fours in a row, and if that doesn’t make us hungry, I don’tknow what will.”

got to happen for us to have a chance against [Duke],” the first-year Illinois head coach said. ‘The big thing that we felt that Cincinnati was going to do was attack and be aggressive, and we tried to turn the tables on them and tried to get after them right away, and we had some success with that. It’s the same with Duke: they go after you hard and early, they deny everything. We’re going to have to deal with that.”

The first place the Blue Devils will look to shut down the Illini will be on the perimeter, where the two teams each have a trio of guards who stack up among the nation’s elite. Sophomore point guard Dee Brown is arguably the quickest player remaining in the tournament and could cause problems for Chris Duhon, the third-team All American who had to sit out of practice this week with bad ribs.

Brown’s compliment is Deron Williams, who set the quick pace for the Cincinnati game by hitting his first seven attempts, finishing 10-of-13 from the field to tie a career-high of 31 points. And Duke can’t forget about Luther Head, Weber’s slasher and x-factor extraordinaire.

‘They’ve got great guard play, and their guards can really shoot the ball if they have their feet set and they get open looks,” said Redick, who scored 21 points in Saturday’s 90-62 win over Seton Hall.

“So I think our defensive pressure on Friday night will be one of the many keys to the game.”

Another key toward unlocking a bid to Sunday’s Elite Eight game against either third-seeded Texas or seventhseeded Xavier will lie in the post. With the wing play so evenly matched, Weber, at least, thinks a “powerful” Shelden

Williams and the inside play will be tonight’s determining factor. The 6-foot-9 Williams averaged a double-double in Raleigh last weekend and will have the chance to take advantage of Illinois’ 6foot-6 Roger Powell since lanky, 6-foot-10 forward James Augustine will be trying to contain Luol Deng.

Williams, for his part, could only sing the praises of his frontcourt partner Shavlik Randolph, who averaged 14 points and 6.5 rebounds against Alabama State and Seton Hall while shooting 77 percent from the field.

“He’s going after things more aggressive than he had been for a good part of the season,” Williams said. “Right now, Shav’s like a different person.”

And in many respects, the Blue Devils are a different team from the one they were a year ago. It was this same game, on this same weekend, that a youthful Duke team was hammered by Kansas seniors.

Randolph wasn’t even playing, Redick shot 1-for-ll beyond the arc and 2-for-16 overall and Duke’s only boost came from the elder set. But this tournament now seems the Blue Devils’ to lose, with the group a long year departed from last season’s final bow and now matched up against a stiff yet spritely foe.

“Last year, I think we had a pretty good chance of winning that game against Kansas, and they were just the better team that day,” said junior Daniel Ewing, who is “pretty much” 100-percent healthy and in his normal postseason form. ‘They had two key seniors on their team that really came though for them, especially in the second half. And we were a litde young, and I think inexperience gave that game away for us. But I think this year we have a good chance of advancing. We’ll see what happens Friday when we face Illinois.”

Freshman

Chin for Academic Affairs

The

race for Vice President of Academic Affairs of DSG is the weakest of all the races this year with none of the candidates being particularly impressive. However, of the candidates, sophomore Christopher Chin has the most substantive and developed ideas.

Chin’s throughly thought out platform focuses on the need for course evaluations to be available through ACES, the continued improvement of pre-major advising, facilitating the discussion of the creating of an Asian-American and Latino-American studies program and a change in the Curriculum 2000 foreign language requirement.

Although Chin has these ideas, among others, he failed to present many ideas on how he, as a vice president, would effectivly make these changes.

The question of acheiving tangible

Est. 1905

results was one that seems to plague all of the candidates, who are more ideaoriented instead ofaction -dented.

Junior Chase Johnson’s platorm is not extensive enough, his main idea being the requirement of taking two pass/fail courses outside one’s major as an “intellectual risk.”

Freshman Megan Smith also lacks a broad enough platform with her most ingenious idea being a closer interaction with OIT. Freshman David Fiedler lacks the experience and breadth of ideas to be Vice President, but would be beneficial to DSG as an Academic Affairs committe member. His agenda pays particular attention to the needs of freshman and Pratt students—groups that need representation in DSG. The Chronicle formally endorses Christopher Chin for Vice President of Academic Affaris.
