Brodhead in his Duke set to hound Huskies element at Duke by

When Richard Brodhead, Dean of Yale College, sits in his office —a place that oozes Ivy League tradition—it is difficult to imagine him as president ofDuke.

And then he begins to talk.

“Duke is in an enchanted forest in the middle of a city,” he says, his face lighting up as he talks about his future home. “Duke is an urban, silvan campus....

You can walk around and feel that it’s a great school.”

Sudderily if becomes the most natural thing in the world to think of Brodhead, who loves hiking, as the future president ofDuke.

He already owns a Cameron Crazy shirt, which a student gave him the weekend his appointnent at Duke was announced. He .s attending many of the NCAA Tournament games, flying to At-

lanta and San Antonio with either his son, Daniel—who graduated from Yale in 2001—or his wife, Cynthia.

Although he confesses that he has not yet mastered the Duke fight song ‘Just the timing of certain key aspects” are giving him difficulty, he says—the man who has spent all his life at Yale is slowly becoming a Blue Devil.

As closely as Brodhead is associated with Yale, colleagues say it will not be long before his name conjures images ofDuke.

“I’m very sad for us and very happy for Duke,” says Thomas McDow, dean of Branford College, one ofYale’s residential colleges. “This might be the thing it takes for me to pull for Duke basketball.”

Everyone at Yale seems to love Richard Brodhead, and every per—

Duke last faced Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament in the 1999 National Championship game,which the Blue Devils lost, 77-74.

After playing 143 games in a Duke uniform, senior Chris Duhon is in a position he has rarely encountered. The Blue Devils may be the only No. 1 seed to advance to the Final Four, but Duke (31-5) enters Saturday’s 8:47 p.m. national semifinal matchup against second-seeded Connecticut (31-6) as the underdog. “[UConn] is a real talented team and it’s going to be a war and we have to probably play the game of our lives to come out with a victory,” Duhon said. “But we’re capable of doing that.”

Both teams attack with a plethora of scoring options, anchored by dominant post players, potent three-point shooting and solid pass-first point guard play.

The winner of the DukeUConn matchup, which students can view on a large-screen television inside Cameron Indoor Stadium, will face the victor in the other national semifinal between Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State Monday night for the National Championship.

Bar mulls alcohol on points Duke and Durham debate isolation

The Bull Durham Bar at the Washington Duke Inn has become a popular venue for Duke students because it offers alcoholic drinks on food points and an exquisitely refined atmosphere. But this summer, administrators at the country club will consider a suspension of the al-

cohol on points program amid concerns that the Bull Durham is becoming too much like the typical “college bar.”

Jim Bressler, director of sales and marketing at the Washington Duke Inn, cited a number of reasons for considering this issue, stressing especially the Bull Durham Bar’s obligation to cater to a diverse clientele.

“It hasn’t been a negative atmosphere, and the students aren’t creating problems for us at the bar they’ve actually been great —but there have been time periods when —

After a student was robbed at gunpoint in the Bryan Center last semester, the University’s decision to restrict evening access to its parking lots had some members of the Durham community worried that the school was rescinding its welcome to non-Duke visitors.

As the University fleshed out plans for retail space on the redeveloped Central Campus, some Durhamites worried that Duke was effectively discouraging students from venturing out to the city’s own vendors.

In short, Duke’s neighbors said the University was slowly pulling into its own bubble, isolating itself from the city it calls home.

“It appears from the outside that Duke has very much a fortress mentality and that they don’t want to be associated with

Durham,” said Elizabeth Dondero, president of the Burch Avenue Neighborhood Association.

University administrators said they recognized neighbors’ concerns and were doing what they could to allay them. John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said neighbors’ fears would be eased if they simply had a better understanding of the rationale behind the University’s heightened security measures and its plans for Central Campus. In truth, he said, members of the Durham community need not worry that the University is seeking to pull away from the city.

“Anyone looking at our work with the neighborhoods surrounding the University would see that we have invested a lot of time and resources into building SEE ISOLATION ON PAGE 9

WASHINGTON The commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks said Thursday that it was pressing the White House to explain why the George W. Bush administration had blocked thousands of pages of classified foreign policy and counterterrorism documents from former President Bill Clinton’s files from being turned over to the panel’s investigators.

The White House confirmed Thursday that it had withheld a variety ofclassified documents from Clinton’s files that had been gathered by the National

Archives over the last two years in response to document requests from the commission, which is investigating intelligence and law enforcement failures before the attacks.

Scott McClellan, the White House spokesperson, said some Clinton administration documents had been withheld because they were “duplicative or unrelated,” while others were withheld because they were “highly sensitive” and the information contained in them could be relayed to the commission in other ways.

“We are providing the commission with access to all the information they need to do their job,” McClellan said.

The commission and the White House were reacting Thursday to public complaints from former aides to Clinton, who said they had been surprised to learn in recent months that three-quarters of the nearly 11,000 pages of White House files it was ready to offer the commission had been withheld from the panel by the Bush administration.

The former aides said the files, which are now in the custody of the National Archives, contained highly classified documents about the Clinton administration’s efforts against al Qaeda.

Congress agrees on pension plan bill

By Mary Williams Walsh NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

House and Senate negotiators said they had reached an agreement Thursday on a bill that would save companies an estimated $BO billion in pension contributions over the next two years.

Airlines and steel companies, which have some of the weakest pension plans, would get an additional break, worth about $1.6 billion.

The measure offers all employers with pension plans a break by changing the way they calculate, in today’s dollars, the value of the benefits that they must pay in the future.

The new method will make their future pension obligations look smaller. That, in turn, means they will not have to set aside as much money today.

A second provision offers relief to the major airlines and to steel companies. Their pension funds are so badly eroded that they are becoming subject to a special set offunding rules, under which companies with very unhealthy pension plans have to make large, quarterly contributions to revive them.

As currently written, the bill would allow the airlines and steel companies to pay only 20 percent of what they would otherwise owe in these special catch-up contributions.

Roth focuses on communication Oil schedules email outage Liana Wyler THE CHRONICLE

by

The voice mail message of incoming Dean of Social Sciences Susan Roth says she will be on sabbatical until September—but it isn’t true.

It was until about a month ago, when Roth, professor of psychology and former chair of Psychology: Social and Health Sciences, was first tapped by the future Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences George McLendon to take on the role of a divisional dean. His offer of a permanent administrative position at the University was appealing to Roth, who has worked at Duke since 1973.

But despite her eagerness about her new position, she had not planned for this a year ago when she went on sabbatical—and her outdated message is a testament to this fact.

“I’ll be starting [as dean] in July,” Roth said. “Right now, I’m finishing up some writing projects with a graduate student of mine.”

Nonetheless, her current work has not stopped her from already thinking ahead to what she plans to do once dean of social sciences.

“I’ve begun to think about new projects for the future new projects that are not ready for prime-time yet,” she said.

The broader goal Roth hopes to attain during her tenure as dean is to continue to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation across the social sciences departments.

She foresees connecting aspects of sociology, psychology, race, ethnicity and gender to current projects already in place and new projects within the division.

‘There are a lot of exciting things that are going on in the social sciences that potentially have a relationship with each other and will bring people together in order to more effectively use the resources available at Duke,” she said. “Getting people around the table and talking to one another is something I’d like to get started on as soon as possible.”

Roth said her prior experiences and broad interests have prepared her for becoming dean and “will help enhance the interdisciplinary efforts that really are the Duke signature.”

In addition to holding dual appointments in the departments of psychology and women’s studies, Roth also knows how the central administration works. She chaired —

the executive committee of both the Women’s Initiative and the provost’s Women’s Faculty Development Task Force, served on the provost’s Task Force for Faculty Diversity and was a special assistant to the provost.

Robyn Wiegman, Margaret Taylor Smith director of women’s studies, commended Roth’s leadership on the Women’s Initiative and her ability to be an excellent mentor of younger scholars and administrators at the University. “[She] has proven herself as an administrator at Duke for many years,” Wiegman said. “She is institutionally savvy and a generous colleague; she knows how to lead groups through their intellectual and political differences.”

Outgoing Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences Karla Holloway said she is happy to step down from the deanship and has high hopes for the “stellar new team” of divisional deans that McLendon has appointed. After five years in the position of being a divisional dean, Holloway’s most important advice she can offer her successors is “to know their faculties very very well.”

"I have served longer than my initial contract agreement and [McLendon’s decision to appoint new deans] was based in part on the understanding that I would not want to continue in that position,” she said. “I am frilly confident that the new deans will discern for themselves what are the significant and critical issues in the humanities and in the social sciences.”

“I’ve begun to think about new projects for the future —new projects that are not ready for prime-time yet.”

Susan Roth

McLendon noted that one of the

challenges he foresees during his

most important tenure as arts and sci-

ences dean will be to continue to build on the good work Holloway and her colleagues have initiated in order to continue to move Duke higher in the pantheon of universities.

“There are of course many excellent candidates among so distinguished a faculty,” McLendon said. “I am delighted that such distinguished colleagues would agree to serve the University, our faculty and students this way.”

THE CHRONICLE

Students planning on sending e-mails this weekend should consider an alternative means ofcommunication, as the Office ofInformation Technology will shut down e-mail service for approximately 12 hours starting tonight at 9 p.m.

The outage, which will affect 65 percent of users, will prevent access to the Duke e-mail system—the first step among a potential series of shutdowns designed to fix “severe unknown problems” with the e-mail server.

Mike Gettes, senior technology architect and strategist for OIT, said there have been serious technological problems affecting the server since March 23, including the failures of two disks and the operating system.

Tonight’s outage is intended to allow technicians to fully understand the root cause of the problems.

“We don’t know why [these problems] happened,” Gettes said. “It was as if the moon and the stars aligned.”

He added that the e-mail shutdown is a necessary step in fixing the problem. “It would be like trying to fix an engine while it is running,” Gettes said. “We need to pause the engine for a moment in order to see what it looks like and from there we can correct the problem.”

During another scheduled outage, planned for the near future, OIT officials will then apply what was learned from this outage to correct the situation.

According to a memo for Duke IT professionals, the school’s problems are receiving the highest attention from Sun Microsystems, the vendor ofboth Duke’s hardware and operating system. Duke experts have been speaking regularly with high-level management at Sun for progress updates.

There were a record number of phone calls in the month ofMarch to the OIT Help Desk, thanks largely to the e-mail outages, Director of Customer Service Ginny Cake said. She added that the help desk received more traffic in March than all other months this year combined.

When questioned on whether these upcoming outages will fix all of the e-mail problems, Cake’s answer was cautiously hopeful. “When I leave campus every evening and get into my car, I have taken every precaution to fix everything,” she said. “But I can’t guarantee that something bad won’t happen,... However, with this outage there is a better guarantee for the future.”

The event began at 7:30 p.m. outside of the Marketplace with readings of poetry and chanting to rally the spirits of the roughly 40 people present. The crowd thickened to over 200 people at the Chapel steps for the Speak Out, where the march ended, the Women’s Center estimated.

As the crowd—which passionately yelled, “We have the power, we have the right, the streets are ours, take back the night!” and carried signs reading “Duke Students Unite, Take Back the Night” progressed from East Campus to the Chapel steps—it gained momentum, stopped traffic and attracted supporters with noisemakers such as cow bells.

The group of approximately 80 people marched from East campus, through Central campus to West campus and approached the Chapel from behind the West-Edens Link and the Clocktower Quadrangle, bringing men and women to their front doors to watch or open their windows to hear the commotion.

Though local news channels covered the entire march, cameras were shut off for the most poignant part of the night, the Speak Out at the Chapel.

THE CHRONICLE

Campus Council unanimously passed a resolution Thursday night to increase student awareness about campus safety and sexual assault. Members acknowledged, however, that certain aspects of the legislation were controversial and may incur a significant amount of resistance from students and administrators.

The legislation suggested establishing more stringent punishments for students found guilty of sexual assault by the Undergraduate Judicial Board and called for administrators to enforce attendance at the safety presentation during freshman orientation by blocking spring semester class registration for freshmen who do not attend the program.

Campus Council championed the implementation ofconsequences for not attending the safety presentation because so many freshmen see no incentive in going to orientation events —even mandatory ones. Council members said freshmen needed motivation to attend the lecture, given the importance ofeducating students about campus safety and sexual assault.

“I think this [campus safety] issue is more paramount than any other orientation event,” Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli said. “We don’t want to breed the sense that we’re trying to punish people. We just want them to be educated.”

The student legislators said they believe many of the crimes that occur regularly at Duke can be thwarted by educating the student body about safety.

“The message we hear from [the Duke University Police Department] is that most crimes here are crimes of opportunity,” Vitarelli said, referring to stuSEE SAFETY ON PAGE

Students, faculty and staff congregate on the Chapel quad to speak out against sexual assault.

Crisis Response Center said that she hoped the night would give men and women from Duke and Durham a chance to speak out and to end violence, as well as to bridge the gap between Durham and Duke.

After these introductory remarks, a short, uncomfortable time span ensued until the first volunteer from the audience strode up to the microphone to break the silence.

The Speak Out continued as additional survivors or friends of survivors ventured to the microphone to share their feelings and stories to the crowd. Some students described their own personal experiences with sexual assault or violence while others spoke for their friends or family members.

Some audience members, like many speakers, broke out in tears as volunteers shared the pain of their memories and their hope

for the future The Speak Out concluded around 10:30 p.m. when those remaining on the Chapel steps were invited to the Women’s Center for milk and cookies.

“It’s gone well. We’ve had key-note speakers and photo exhibits and they’ve all been well attended,” said Xiomara Padamsee, a SASS coordinator, reflecting on the past week. “We’ve broken [over] eleven hundred pledges that men signed saying they won’t commit, condone or stay silent about sexual assault.”

As she left the Speak Out, sophomore Barbara Hauptfuhrer said the night was a positive move in promoting awareness and

improving safety.

‘The feeling tonight was one of united women and men,” she said. This is a feeling that our campus must promote in order to establish a safer place.”

Democrats confident in their financial position

By Sharon Theimer THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Democratic Party finds itself in its most confident and comfortable financial position in years, though it still trails Republicans in almost every fund-raising category.

President George W. Bush’s fund-raising juggernaut keeps rolling, reaching more than $lB2 million Thursday and closing in on doubling the $lOO millionrecord he set in 2000.

The Democrats’ efforts to whittle away at the GOP’s spending advantage has been aided by the decision of presidential nominee-to-be Sen. John Kerry to skip public financing and its spending limits, anti-Bush sentiment over the Iraq war, elimination of the party’s debt, the formation of outside Democratic fund-raising groups and former Vermont governor Howard Dean’s Internet fund-raising explosion.

“Everywhere I go I’ll talk to people and they really feel we have a chance,” said Tony Coelho, a Democratic strategist and A1 Gore’s campaign chair in 2000.

“They’re going to have $2OO million or more. But I think as long as we’re around $lOO million we’ll be competitive, we’ll get our message out.”

Democratic National Committee Chair Terry McAuliffe sees considerable progress toward that goal: The party entered April with $25 million in the bank to spend on Kerry’s behalf and no debt, its best shape at this point in an election in season years, But the Rer

holding fund-raisers for his campaign.

The area of Democratic fund raising that has most stung the Republicans has been conducted by new tax-exempt groups on the outside that have raised millions in large soft-money donations that the Democratic Party can no longer collect.

Those groups, funded by the likes of billionaire George Soros and run by such Democratic heavyweights as former Clinton deputy Harold Ickes, are running ads in battleground states to help close the gap with Bush and give Kerry time to resupply his campaign treasury.

Republicans were worried enough this week that they filed a formal complaint with federal election regulators accusing Kerry of illegally collaborating with the outside groups and seeking an end to the

spending.

Kerry, meanwhile, is setting Democratic

fund-raising records of his own.

Kerry raised at least $42 million from January through March, with checks still being counted Thursday. That tops the Democratic record of $l6 million raised in a quarter set by former candidate Dean, and rivals the all-time presidential quarterly record of more than $5O million Bush set in the first quarter. The Bush campaign has not yet released an exact fund-raising total for the quarter.

Kerry can break records in part because like Bush, he skipped public financing for the primaries, freeing himself from a $45 million spending cap he would have faced until his party’s nominating convention.

In 2000, nomi“Everywhere I go I’ll talk to peonee-to-be Gore money advantage remains ple and they really feel we have was already close to the spending significant, no a chance.

CAIC leaves Ivies, comes to Duke for first time by

Kate Stamell

THE CHRONICLE

In its six years of existence, the Chinese American Intercollegiate Conference has traveled exclusively through the Ivy League, from Harvard to Yale to Columbia. When sophomores Xinfeng Hu and Edward Chu made a bid at last year’s CAIC to bring the conference to Duke for the first time, they knew exacdy the ivy towers they wanted to topple.

‘They tell us we’re up against Harvard, Princeton and Stanford, but we got the bid because of the argument that we needed to bring the conference where it was needed the most,” said Hu, co-chair of this year’s CAIC. Two hundred students from all over the country will visit campus for the three-day event, which kicks off today at noon with registration and campus tours. Film screenings, over 25 workshops, nine panels, a poetry reading, a musical performance by all-female vocal group One Voice and an endnote address from award-winning journalist Helen Zia will all compete with the NCAA Tournamentfor students’ attention this weekend.

With this year’s theme of hybridity and heterogeneity, Hu wanted to expose Duke and the South to a hew dialogue about Asian-Americans. She emphasized that she wants the event to encompass not just Chinese-Americans, but students of all ethnicities and academic majors.

“In the past CAIC has never had this breadth or the depth, but we [do],” Hu said. “We want this to be a totally campus-wide event. [Those who go to the events] are not Chinese-American, you’re not whatever. If you have an [interest] in that area, the point is to go and learn.” The workshops offered range from activism, to dancing, to academically intense discussions.

Lulu Zhou, a student at Columbia University and cochair of last year’s CAIC, saw great potential in bringing the conference to Duke. “I’ve grown up in the Northeast,

and in a big city it’s very diversified, but the South is more conservative and [it is] more relevant to spread the word down there and bring awareness to that part of the county,” she said.

Hu and Chu made careful observations of last year’s conference, noting its failures and successes and thinking of how to convince the committee to send the conference down to the South. But it wasn’t just their observations that won them the bid.

They had good visions and ideas and were very organ-

'll! the past CAIC has never had this breadth or the depth, but we [do]. We want this to be a totally campus-wide event.”

Xinfeng Hu ized compared to the otherbid packages,” said Zhou, who along with approximately 25 other Columbia students will drive down today to bunk with Duke students for the weekend. ‘We wanted to give it to a new school and I was very impressed that Duke came up to the conference and was very interested.”

Hu and her co-chair, senior Susan Su, worked to improve what they saw at Columbia last year and set high expectations. “Plan A was inviting incredibly well-known Asians such as Michelle Kwan, Yo-Yo Ma and Lucy Liu... in the end we didn’t get any of them, but that was how ambitious we were,” said Hu. “We wanted to make CAIC so much better than it was in the past.”

They managed to bring in a list of impressive AsianAmerican figures and leaders, including Eric Liu, a former global policy speech writer for former President Bill Clinton. Hu noticed that CAIC at Columbia had few workshops, and that many of them were disorganized. She decided to increase the number as well as hand out maps and directions to out-of-towners.

Richard Owen, assistant director of development for the Pratt School of Engineering, was just one of the many University sources and local businesses that Hu approached for funding. In total, the CAIC executive committee raised $40,000 for the conference.

“She has been relentless in turning over every rock for funding. She’s just been a ball of energy,” Owen said. “It’s a great exercise for her to go through while in college.

She’s been adamant in challenging the administration for funding, and it’s been great to watch her work.”

Hu does not consider herself the only one who has benefited from this experience. “For everyone involved, this experience is a lot to gain from, because they have to think about each step, qualify it, and rethink it,” said Hu. Sophomore Vivian Wang, chair of speakers and workshops, learned a lot about Asian-American history through her research for speakers. “After I attended last year’s conference, I read up and did searches online and slowly built up workshops and panels,” she said. “With each person I contacted I met new people and ideas.”

Wang stressed this year’s key ideas of hybridity and heterogeneity as concepts for Duke students to embrace.

‘With every event, students who organize always have the challenge of getting people who aren’t that interested in events and activities [involved]. The key is to somehow make ties with people you don’t normally have ties with,” she said. “I would encourage students to explore things that they don’t necessarily think applies to them.”

U.S. urges Palestine to crack down on terror Josef

By Federman THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

American diplomats told skeptical JERUSALEM Palestinian officials Thursday that Israel’s plan to pull out of the Gaza Strip brings an opportunity to revive the “road map” peace initiative, but they said future progress would depend on a Palestinian crackdown on militants.

The U.S. envoys met with Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia in the West Bank town of Jericho to discuss Israel’s pull out plan. They also discussed the road map peace plan proposed by President George W. Bush.

The team then had two hours of talks with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, but no details were disclosed.

Hours later, Israeli tanks entered the Rafah refugee camp on the Gaza-Egypt border early Friday and exchanged heavy fire with Palestinian gunmen, residents and Palestinian security officials said. No casualties were reported. The Israeli military said a limited operation was under way, aimed at the tunnels used by Palestinians to smuggle weapons from Egypt.

In another development, Sharon said Israel might move against Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in the future, Israel TV reported.

Sharon made the remark during a series of news interviews ahead of next week’s Jewish holiday of Passover.

“Arafat cannot be so sure of himself in his place,” the Internet Web site of the Yediot Ahronot daily quoted Sharon as saying.

Arafat has been confined to his West Bank headquarters for more than two years. Several months ago Israel’s Cabinet declared that Arafat is responsible for violence and should be “removed.”

Sharon has proposed pulling Israeli troops and settlers out of Gaza and small parts of the West Bank.

He also says the Palestinian government is not a partner for peace talks and that a unilateral withdrawal is necessary to protect Israeli interests.'

The American team is in the region to discuss Sharon’s plan, which he will present to President George W. Bush in Washington April 14.

The Palestinians want assurances the plan will be the first step toward a larger withdrawal from the West Bank, while Israel is seeking American support for limits on future Palestinian demands.

After Thursday’s meeting, Qureia said he would welcome an Israeli pullback from Gaza, but only if it is part of the U.S.-backed “road map” peace plan.

The road map aims to bring about an independent Palestinian state by next year but has been stalled for months amid violations by Israel and the Palestinians.

Qureia said he sought assurances the Gaza plan would not prejudice future talks on a permanent settlement, including the status of the West Bank and Jerusalem and the fate of millions of Palestinian refugees who claim property in what is now Israel.

“Unilateralism is not the solution,” Qureia said. “The only thing that will help and bring forth Palestinian commitments is to negotiate with the Palestinians.”

Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat said the Americans believe Sharon’s plan is an opportunity to revive the road map.

“They see it as part of the road map, and not as a substitute to the road map,” he said.

However, he said, the U.S. diplomats made it clear they expect the Palestinians to honor their road map obligations—particularly the requirement to dismantle violent groups that have killed hundreds of Israelis in the past three years.

The American diplomats—White House officials Steve Hadley and Elliot Abrams, and State Department Mideast envoy William Burns—did not comment after the meeting.

Earlier, however, American officials said they would be telling both sides that Sharon’s plan has to be consistent with the road map.

“We don’t see unilateral disengagement as a replacement for the road map. It’s away to jump start the road map,” one official said on condition of anonymity.

Israel officially remains committed to the road map. But it, too, has failed to meet its interim obligations of freezing settlement construction in the West Bank and Gaza.

Israeli officials have held a series of meetings in Washington recently, seeking U.S. guarantees in return for the Gaza pullout. Among the requests: recognition of some Jewish settlement blocs in the West Bank and assurances that a Palestinian state will resolve the refugee problem.

Sharon faces considerable opposition, both within

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina More than 100,000 people marched through the capital Thursday to protest crime, shouting “Justice! Justice!” in one of Argentina’s largest demonstrations in years.

Argentines lighted thousands of white candles outside Congress and held up photos of victims of the recent surge in ransom kidnappings, street holdups and robberies that has become an overriding concern in this South American nation of 36 million people.

Many left work early to join the protest, and thousands more turned out for smaller demonstrations in cities across Argentina.

Blumberg kicked off the protest by leading a motorcade of cars that headed to Congress to demand harsher

penalties for criminals. Police estimated the crowd at 130,000 strong in the capital, while thousands more

If the changes are approved, they will not go into effect until the upcoming fall semester, Bressler added.

Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst has been paying close attention to the situation at the Bull Durham Bar, and he said he understands why students appreciate the setting. He added that there has been a void in upscale dining options on campus since the closure of the Oak Room Grille.

“I think the Washington Duke Inn Restaurant and Bar is a really neat atmosphere, and it feels special,” Wulforst said. “I think there’s a genuine concern on Dining Service’s part to provide students a place where they can socialize, have fun and order drinks, and I’m very open-minded about it. We need to think about how we can recreate something like [The Washington Duke Inn Restaurant and Bar] on campus that is within walking distance.”

Wulforst noted that an upscale dining option on campus would not be realized for some time. “I’ve been talking to [Vice President for Student Affairs] Larry Moneta about this specific issue, perhaps setting something up in the West Union building,” he added. “It’s not going to happen this summer, but probably in the next year and a half.”

ARGENTINA from page 8 “Rapes, kidnappings, assassinations—we have to put an end to it all,” he added.

On the streets, many people honked their horns in support.

This Latin America capital, once considered one of the region’s safest where an all-hours nightlife flourished for decades, saw crime escalate during a 2001-2002 economic crisis. Bank heists, street holdups and taxi cab robberies have made headlines even though the economy has shown recent signs ofrecovery.

Last year, President Nestor Kirchner ordered more police on the streets and promised unspecified new crime-fighting steps.

But complaints of police inefficiency and corruption within the ranks have fueled a groundswell of popular support for tougher policing methods.

Asked about the protests, Kirchner told reporters he sympathized with victims’ families and would soon unveil new programs to fight crime: “It’s terrible what has happened.

The pain a father feels in these circumstances is just enormous.”

His cabinet chief, Alberto Fernandez, called a news conference Thursday evening to declare that the president would back new efforts to reorganize police and track down the killers of Axel Blumberg.

“What we’re really demanding today is justice,” said Jorge Gutierrez as he held a lit candle Thursday.

Demonstrators demanded immediateaction ‘The politicians and police have to do something about this, and now! We can’t stand this any more!” said Marcelo Trotta, 50.

Mabel Jervasei, whose 29-year-old son, Pablo, was killed during an attempted robbery in February, said she was frustrated by the lack of police cooperation in solving the crime.

COMMISSION from page 2 The commission said it was awaiting a full answer from the White House on why any documents were withheld.

“We need to be satisfied that we have everything we have asked to see,” said A1 Felzenberg, a spokesperson for the bipartisan 10-member commission. “We have voiced the concern to the White House that not all of the material the Clinton library has made available to us has made its way to the commission.”

The general counsel of Clinton’s presidential foundation, Bruce Lindsey, who was Clinton’s deputy White House counsel and one of his closest advisers, said in an interview that he was concerned that the Bush administration had applied a “very legalistic approach to the documents” and might have blocked the release of material that would be valuable to the commission.

He said he first complained to the commission in February about the situation after learning from the

APRIL 2, 2003 ill

archives that the Bush administration had withheld so many documents.

“I voiced a concern that the commission was making a judgment on an incomplete record,” Lindsey said. “I want to know why there is a 75 percent difference between what we were ready to produce and what was being produced to the commission.”

The debate over the Clinton files was disclosed as the commission announced that it had reached agreement with the White House to schedule a public hearing for next Thursday, when Condoleezza Rice, Bush’s national security adviser, will testify under oath for 21/2 hours.

It also came as the White House, in an effort to bolster Rice’s credibility before the hearing, released some of the language of a presidential directive awaiting Bush’s signature on Sept. 11, 2001, that instructed the Pentagon to plan action against al Qaeda terrorists and their Taliban sponsors in Afghanistan, “including leadership, command-control-communication, training and logistics facilities.”

BRODHEAD

son you encounter there is quick to tell you that. Students say, “He’sa great guy.” “Oh, we’re so sad to lose him.” “Duke is really lucky.”

Faculty look mournful at the thought of his departure.

“Many of us have never known a Yale without Dick,” says Deputy Provost Charles Long, who has known Brodhead since he first came to Yale as an undergraduate.

Brodhead has been a fixture at the university for more than 40 years, first as an undergraduate student, then as one of die brightest English graduate students to walk the halls that have produced scholars among the likes of Harold Bloom.

As a young professor, Brodhead’s classes drew praise and crowds. After only five years on the faculty, he won the University’s most prestigious teaching award.

He is one of the world’s leading English scholars, specializing in American literature. His most noteworthy works concern Moby Dick and the works of Charles Chestnutt, a leading black author of the post-Civil War era. He also has done substantial work on the history of post-emancipation North Carolina.

He has won numerous scholarship awards, and in 2002 received a presidential appointment to the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

Clearly, the man is talented. But he’s also loved in an almost mystical way; no one will admit to having a negative experience with him.

“I don’t know, how Brodhead has captured that image—the love of everyone,” juniorJoe Light says. He paused for a moment, thinking about exactly why Brodhead is so admired. “Freshman year you learn that Dean Brodhead is a really cool guy. You’re not sure why he’s a cool guy, but he is.”

Perhaps this aura originates from his freshman convocation speeches, which are legendary for their wit and ability to inspire. Four years later, many seniors report still vivid memories of hearing Brodhead bellow, “Welcome to Yale,” in his deep, distinctive voice. Even more students recall his passionate plea encouraging them to take full advantage of their education both in and outside of the classroom.

He takes on an unusually large number of advisees—often juggling more than 20 at a time—and most student

leaders have worked with him to some degree. Brodhead reaffirmed his commitment to equality.

Perhaps because of this value, Brodhead is very careful frequendy ducks into the back of student performances, and when he walks across campus, he stops and chats with about his decisions. By all accounts, he thinks about the root students he knew well at one time but no longer frequendy of a problem before taking any action. For example, the Report on Yale College—which Brodhead largely authored as sees.

In one famous story, Brodhead was chatting with a group the chair of-the committee—includes not just a laundry list of students at a dinnerand the topic turned to Dance Dance of desires for the university but also a detailed series of steps to implement them. He rarely takes action upon immediate Revolution, a fully interactive dance video game.

Two weeks after the conversation, Brodhead showed up demand. at a freshman dormitory to see the game in action.

Several colleagues and students surmised that it is BrodStudents say he played.

Across campus he is known for this willingness to try new head’s dislike of conflict that has kept him from commentthings and sense of humor. Students affectionately know ing on unionization and other contentious issues at Yale. He has recently been criticized by NaomiWolf, a former student him as “Dick” and jokes about his name are already commonplace at Duke. In typical manner, Brodhead stutters just of Harold Bloom who claims that she was sexually assaulted a little as he declines to comment on his nicknames. “What while a graduate student, for not acting on her complaints I’m called behind my back is none ofmy business,” he says. of sexual harassment when he was chair of the English department. At various points, women’s groups have faulted He hesitates to talk about himself at all and is openly puzzled that anyone would want to read about him or his life.

Duke guns for first ACC championship by

Chrissie Gorman THE CHRONICLE

When the sixth-ranked Duke women’s lacrosse team faces No. 5 Virginia Saturday, it hopes to repeat regular season history against the Cavaliers and make ACC history of its own.

With both teams 2-0 in the ACC, Saturday’s home game is the deciding match for the league’s regular season championship and the all-important No. 1 seed in the late April ACC Tournament. In its eight-year history, Duke (6-3, 2-0) has never gone undefeated in the ACC or won an ACC Championship.

Attention users of Duke’s central e-mail service

(formerly acpub): Recently there have been several interruptions in service on the university’s new central e-mail system, with some users experiencing delays in receiving mail. Duke’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) has been working with our vendor (Sun Microsystems) to identify and resolve the issues causing these problems.

After extensive analysis by both OIT and Sun Microsystems, we have collectively determined it is mandatory that we implement both hardware and software changes immediately. In order to accomplish this, we must take the new central e-mail system down temporarily, during which time users will not be able to access their accounts.

This downtime is scheduled to begin Friday, April 2nd at 9pm and will take approximately 12 hours. We plan to have the e-mail system back in service by- 9am on Saturday, April 3rd.

All users who may be affected will receive an e-mail from OIT prior to the outage. Individuals using Lotus Notes and departmental e-mail systems (Law School, Physics, ECE, etc.) will not be affected by this outage unless they have mail forwarded from the central e-mail system; in this case, their forwarded mail will be delivered once service is restored.

The OIT Help Desk (684-2200) will extend their normal hours over the weekend and will be open from 9am to noon on Saturday to assist users with any related e-mail issues.

Updated information will be posted throughout the weekend on the OIT Service Update Web page: www. oit. duke.edu/helpdesk/service/updates .php Office of

LONG HISTORY OF DEVILS by

Paul

Crowley

THE CHRONICLE

When Connecticut and Duke meet for the eighth time Saturday, the game will resemble many previous Huskies-Blue Devils matchups in two key ways: it will feature some of college basketball’s most talented players, and there will be an awful lot on the line.

Unsurprisingly, head coaches Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Calhoun are among the last few men pacing the sidelines in this year’s NCAA Tournament; it is a familiar situation.

UConn and Duke have played seven times since 1964 (the Blue Devils lead the series 4-3, but Calhoun holds a 3-2 edge on Krzyzewski). When compared with teams within their conferences, these few meetings may not seem significant. However, three of the meetings have been in the NCAA Tournament, and two of them are among Duke’s most storied games.

The first time the two head coaches met was in the 1990 Regional Finals, a game so tight it featured 17 lead changes. A Husky squad led by Scott Burrell and Chris Smith had Duke on the ropes; the Blue Devils were down by one. with three seconds left in overtime. The game was concluded in overtime by a give-and-go from Christian Laettner to

Brian Davis and back to Laettner, who hit his first famous buzzer-beater to send the Huskies packing. This shot propelled Duke to another Final Four, and broke hearts in New England.

“As much of a great person Mike Krzyzewski is, there are some people in Connecticut who don’t truly like him,” Calhoun said, years later. “They’re never going to forgive him for Christian shooting that shot.”

Duke beat the Huskies a year later in the Sweet 16, 81-67.

The next big meeting ended differendy for Duke, as Richard Hamilton tallied 27 points for Connecticut, and Khalid ElAmin hit clutch free throws in the 1999 National Championship game. The Blue Devil team that lost was thought by some to be Duke’s most talented since the days of Hurley and Laettner, as it featured Trajan Langdon, Shane Battier, and national Player of the Year Elton Brand. El-Amin’s clutch shooting was matched by Langdon’s poor ball-handling, as the shooting specialist committed two turnovers in the last few seconds of the 77-74 Duke loss.

freshman Josh Boone said. ‘That’s really the main thing that I remember.”

Despite the long and storied history between the two programs, the past games’ implications on the upcoming Final Four matchup are mainly symbolic, as no player remains from the most recent UConn-Duke contest.

“I don’t think the Championship game in 1999 has anything to do with this game. For me it has no bearing,” Krzyzewski said. “None of our current players have played Connecticut.... It’s one of those things I picked up in the military, if it’s not pertinent, don’tpay attention to it.”

Whether or not Krzyzewski and Calhoun are paying attention to the history of this mini-rivalry, each team’s road to the national championship runs through the other.

While El-Amin and Laettner are long gone, this story will have another chapter written Saturday night.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BSA responds to criticism Only 40 years ago, the first five African American students were admitted to Duke University. Since then, you will not only witness a large gathering of members of the black community at NPHC organizations’ charity balls and the BSA-sponsored Black History Month Speaker (both of which contribute significantly to the Duke community, as well as the greater Durham community) but you will also see us unite in front of the Chapel on Main West Campus to protest discriminatory policies. Black students have a strong presence on this campus, and despite the presence of prospective students, parent or administrators, black students have never ceased being black or hesitated to stand by the legacy left by those who have come before us.

Each year, BSAI serves as an instrument through which we strive to continue that legacy —a legacy grounded in community.

The Black Student Alliance Invitational is a weekend designed to expose prospective black students to the academic, intellectual, social, cultural and residential facets of Duke University. Over the course of the four-day weekend, prospective students sample Duke life through a variety of activities. Upon arrival, students are taken in

by Duke undergraduates. This enables them to witness, firsthand, the life of a Duke student. They also have the opportunity to attend a series of programs where they are introduced to faculty, staff, and students of all backgrounds. While social events, including a karaoke and game night, a fashion show, NPHC’s step show, and STUD’s BASICS party, are highly attended by both the prospective and current students, there are also required in,

formation sessions and faculty and student-led discussions planned by the Admissions office, administrators and the Black Student Alliance. Our goal is to provide prospective students with the facts necessary to make an informed decision about where to attend college.

The opportunities presented to prospective freshman are, in reality, only a glimpse of black student life at Duke. These activities represent the experiences of some black Duke undergraduates; however, we stress that there is no universal black Duke experience. When visiting Duke, it is inevitable that you encounter some aspect of the black community. Whether you come during BSAI weekend, Blue Devil Days, or any other arbitrary day in the school year, you can get a candid view of black student life at Duke University. Indeed, the BSA, fraternities and sororities within the National Panhellenic Council, and all of the predominately black student groups on this campus, including those who contributed to the BSAI weekend, plan programs throughout the school year aimed at fostering a greater sense of community at Duke. Like most communities, we are not perfect; however, we are a community that supports each other, not for the duration of a weekend, but everyday.

Performance is not necessary.

Rape victim speaks out Being a two-time rape victim has not been easy for me, my family and friends, colleagues, professors and acquaintances. A culture of silence and shame surrounds sexual assault. As a personal example, last year for SAPW, I created a t-shirt for the Clothesline Project and faltered for a minute before I finally committed only my initials in the signature, AS., even choosing to omit my middle initial for the sake of ambiguity.

Although I felt compelled to voice myself through creating a public display, I could not bear to be held accountable for my “coming out,” for a multitude of reasons; fear of ostracism, guilt for imposing pain onto others, hesitancy at recognizing the truth, and most importantly, shame for bearing witness to evil acts. Instead, I chose to hide behind the statistics as another of

many faceless screams. In other words, I found comfort in anonymity. However, social exigencies demand discomfiture before resolutions can be made. In my own and our society’s hesitancy to claim and place names to these crimes, we are delaying the healing process for individual survivors and the collective.

I urge you to make it personal, in your daily lives, to realize that violence cannot be measured by mere statistics or nameless accounts, but instead, by breathing bodies and real lives. At the risk of forever being defined by events that constitute only a fragment of who I am, I shall make a leap of faith: My name is Aileen and I am a survivor.

Women’s basketball team lauded It wasn’t supposed to end this way. As fans of the Duke women’s basketball team, my daughter and I were hoping that the women would reach the Final Four and the men would stay home. The ladies have been underappreciated at Duke while playing some very impressive and entertaining basketball. it hurts to lose. Iciss, Alana, and Vicki are going to graduate with their big dream forever out of reach. Perhaps they don’t want to hear this now, but they are all winners where it really counts-in character,

i°

perserverance, teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline and compassion.

How unlike real life the NCAA championship is. Out of 64 teams, 63 end their season

with a heartbreaking loss. In the real world, people win not by turning others into losers but by working together for die mutual good of all.

Thanks for the memories, ladies. It was a joy to watch you play.

We want to remind everyone about the bonfire policy we established several years ago, which again govern this year’s activities. The victory celebrations following big games in recent years have been what we have all hoped for, and ones in which the Duke community could take pride.

The same rules remain in effect this year and, with your cooperation, we will continue to celebrate our victories safely and enthusiastically. In keeping with this goal, we remind you of some key concerns;

The University has obtained a City bonfire permit for April 5, the date of the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game.

Bonfires on any other days will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution.

The City Fire Marshall asks that everyone stay at least 10 feet away from the fire Please keep stacked benches to a reasonable height (not more than three) and do not climb on top. The tragedy at Texas A & M a few years ago provides ample evidence why.

If you carry a beverage, please use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad.

Do not sit or stand on building roofs

7. Do not use dorm furniture as fuel for a bonfire. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game

8. The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited

9.

The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. Any fires that are started outside of this area will be considered illegal and dealt with at the discretion of the City Fire Marshall and Duke University Police.

The City Fire Marshall has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is now a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to

come.

The Blair up there

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

Just last year, Duke’s Luol Deng and Connecticut’s Charlie Villanueva were batding each other in practice at Blair Academy in New Jersey. Saturday they will match up again. But this time instead of as friends and teammates it will be on opposing benches at the Final Four with a spot in the National championship Game on the line.

“It’s amazing how last year we both talked about going to college, and how we’re going to meet and play each other,” Deng said. “But I don’t think we [ever imagined] it would be the Final Four, and it’s just an amazing feeling what I’m feeling right now.”

Their friendship dates back to their sophomore years in high school when Villanueva was recruited to attend Blair Academy so that Deng would have someone to practice against and play with.

Deng, ironically, had decided to attend the school the year before after Huskies assistant coaches introduced him to Blair head coach Joe Mantegna. At the time, Deng’s older brother Ajou Deng was playing for Connecticut.

“They were roommates in Charlie’s first year at Blair,” Mantegna said.

‘That’s about as tight as you can be, sharing a tiny room together.”

The two learned to trust and rely on each other early in their high school careers. During Villanueva’s sophomore year, he became homesick and contemplated leaving. Deng, who had gone through similar problems during his freshman season, advised his teammate to stick it out.

“My sophomore year I wanted to get out of there, but Luol talked to me and said to hang in there,” Villanueva said.

“You’ve gpt to make sacrifices before you get what you want.”

Their support for each other and strong values earned the praise of Mantegna.

“There are a million parents that would love to have their kids grow up to play basketball like Charlie and Luol,” Mantegna said. “[My wife and I] just hope our kids grow up to be the kind of

Gordon catalyzes dangerous UConn offense by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Even before postseason play began, everyone knew Ben Gordon was going to be good.

Coming into this year, Gordon had already scored 1,000 career points and averaged an impressive 16 points per game. This season, the 6-foot-2 combo guard was already a National Player of the Year candidate and had been logging 17.2 points a night after a regular season-ending loss to Syracuse.

With the Big East tournament looming and fellow National Player of the Year Candidate Emeka Okafor sidelined with back trouble, it was assumed that Gordon, a twotime Big East All-Tournament selection, was going to step up and shoulder the load for the Huskies.

Yet few expected Gordon to carry the Huskies like he has this postseason. Before the tournaments, many pundits figured Connecticut’s championship hopes rested on the ailing back of their superstar big man.

That was, however, before Gordon’s rampage in the Big East Tournament, when he broke Allen Iverson’s scoring record by dropping 81 points in the three-game affair.

Then Gordon served as the sparkplug for a re-energized Connecticut team that ripped through the Phoenix bracket, dropping 22 a game in the NCAA Tournament, including a 36-point explosion that put away Alabama, one of the tournament’s hottest teams, in the Elite Eight.

Now, on the eve of the Final Four, Gordon’s Connecticut Huskies become Duke’s worst nightmare.

“It’s going to be a challenge for me,” said Chris Duhon, the gritty Blue Devil senior charged with the onerous task of guarding Gordon. “Slowing him down is one of the keys, and you know he saved his best for last, and he’s really scoring and really confident right now.”

Even if Duhon manages to contain Gordon, the Huskies will not need to search far to find another player to carry them.

One of Gordon’s backcourt partners, Rashad Anderson, is scoring 18 points per game in the Big Dance, seven over .

Jack steers

run-and-gun Yellow Jackets by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

Like running backs at USC and centers at Georgetown, the point guards at Georgia Tech have dominated the position since Mark Price played in Atlanta from 1982 to 1986. Then came Kenny Anderson from ’B9 to ’9l, Travis Best from ’9l to ’95, and Stephen Marbury from ’95 to ’96.

Now that GeorgiaTech has made it to its firstFinal Four since the 1990 season, it is time to add yet another player to the rich tradition of point men: sophomore JarrettJack.

“I'm not sure where to put him among those guys,” head coach Paul Hewitt said. “But he should have no shame standing right there alongside any of them. I always said we couldn't compare them until he takes a team to the Final Four. Now we can do that.”

The Port Washington, Md., native ranks among the team leaders in almost every important statistical category, showing his versatility as a point guard. He averages 31 minutes per game, 12.7 points, 5.7 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.9 steals and shoots 47 percent from the floor.

“I think everything starts with Jarrett Jack,” said Duke guard JJ. Redick, whose team was 2-1 against the Yellow Jackets this year. “The way he pushes the ball up the court, and the way he runs their offense. One of the main keys to beating Georgia Tech is by limiting what Jack does.”

Jack is coming off the biggest performance of his life, netting 29 points, grabbing nine rebounds, dishing out six assists and pilfering four steals in a 79-71 victory over Kansas in the St. Louis Regional final.

‘Today was Jarrett Jack’s day,” Hewitt said after advancing to the Final Four.

Jack, who is the second cousin of Duke point guard Chris Duhon, took it upon himself last summer to become one of the nation’s best floor generals, asking assistant coach Cliff Warren to have daily sessions in which they would spend hours watching game tape.

“Some of it was painful,” Jack said. “Inevitably I’d end up kicking myself for the mistakes I was making. But I learned.”

LUCAS BRINGS OSU TO SAN ANTONIO by

Matt Sullivan

THE CHRONICLE

John Lucas is a business major, so he understood the number crunching Saturday night: 111 3 THREE Final Four.

Following a lineage of basketball excellence, John Lucas 111 was one win away from returning home to Texas with his father, former NBA player and coach John Lucas, Jr. But following a dismal first half that saw the Oklahoma State transfer point guard loft up three air balls, it was really time to take care ofbusiness.

“I think we were just too excited to be playing. I know I was. I had a horrible first half, absolutely horrible,” he said.

“And I could not let my teammates down, so I stepped up and I just played.”

All Lucas did was hit the biggest shot of his life and of this year’s NCAA Tournament. A busted play for Cowboys teammate Joey Graham turned into a quick look.at a clutch shot for the man who’s been knocking them down all season, and with 6.9 seconds left to play, Lucas added an exclamation mark.

One big miss byjameer Nelson ofSt. Joseph’s and one big hug from Dad later, Lucas was ready to lead No. 2 seed Oklahoma State from New Jersey back down to the heardand for an emotional trip to the national semifinals. Lucas is with the Cowboys after leaving Baylor due to last summer’s Patrick Dennehy shooting. This squad carries the last players remaining from a 2001 team devastated by a plane crash.

Also, despite several opportunities, long-time head coach Eddie Sutton has never led a team to a national championship.

“It’s one game, and you don’t play well, you get beat,” Sutton said. “That’s why getting there for the third time is very special. And especially going back to October when we started practicing, if somebody told me we were going to be in the Final Four and win 31 games, I would say, ‘You’re crazy. I mean, you’re nuts.

Yellow Jackets hope to swarm Cowboys by

Jason Strasser

THE CHRONICLE

Georgia Tech wasn’t supposed to be this good.

2003 ACC rookie of the year Chris Bosh left for the draft. Ed Nelson transferred to Connecticut. But even without their two best frontcourt players, and despite being a preseason pick to finish 7th in the ACC, the thirdseeded Yellow Jackets (27-9) find themselves traveling to San Antonio for the Final Four Saturday.

Standing in Georgia Tech’s way is East Rutherford No. 2 seed Oklahoma State (31-3). The Cowboys needed a game-winning three from guard John Lucas to defeat a talented Saint Joseph’s team in the Elite Eight, and on paper they are the favorite. But this is nothing new for Georgia Tech.

“I’m very proud of our players,” Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt said after beating Kansas in the Elite Eight. “Not necessarily because they came out and played hard, but when most of these guys chose to come to Georgia Tech, there was a lot of uncertainty. We’ve lost a lot of recruits because they say Georgia Tech is not going to be good. They had enough confidence in themselves. They can carry a team, put a team in the Final Four.”

A big concern for Georgia Tech will be the health of leading scorer BJ. Elder, who sprained his ankle during the Yellow Jackets’ Sweet 16 matchup with Nevada. Elder played only 12 minutes against Kansas, and his status for this weekend’s matchup is still in doubt.

Regardless of whether Elder plays significant minutes, the key matchup in the game will be at the point guard position. GeorgiaTech’s JarrettJack, who picked up the slack in the absence of Elder by scoring 29 points against Kansas, will go head-to-head with Lucas.

For the Cowboys, Lucas has made clutch shots all year.

Against Saint Joseph’s, Lucas only had two points in the first half. The tough-minded point guard turned everything around after halftime, scoring 17 points in the final 20 minutes, including the game-winning shot.

Oklahoma State head coach Eddie Sutton only had good things to say about his point guard after the win. “[Lucas] is a tough kid, and, like he said, he came back in the second half and hit some big shots for us,” Sutton said. ‘The one he hit to win the game, certainly the biggest shot that [anyone] has scored for us in a long time, and I’m talking about OSU.” One driving motivation for the Cowboys in the Final Four is to end Sutton’s national championship drought.

“When I saw on ESPN that coach Eddie Sutton was one of the coaches who competed in the NCAA the most but never won a championship, that really meant a lot to me,” Lucas said. “I really want to win this NCAA for him.”

don will get, will Anderson ever miss.”

Recall, then, the last time Duke and Connecticut met in the NCAA Tournament. The Blue Devils—37-1 at the dme—were being hailed as one of the best teams in the history of college basketball. A squad comprised of multiple future NBA players—including nimble point guard William Avery, long-range specialist Trajan Langdon and All-American center Elton Brand—Krzyzewksi’s team had steamrolled through the regular season. A mere two-point loss to Cincinnati blemished its record, perhaps motivating the Blue Devils as they cruised in the tournament with an average margin of victory hovering just above 25 points.

But Connecticut, no slouch at 34-2, was able to bypass the pundits’ expectations and the Blue Devils’ talent to win its first-ever national tide in its inaugural trip to the Final Four. And as many of the Huskies jubilantly and defiantly proclaimed afterwards, UConn had “shocked the world.”

The Blue Devils would fall to the Huskies again in the fall of 1999, marking the last time Krzyzewski and UConn head coach Jim Calhoun squared off.

Still, few would consider a Duke victory over Connecticut an upset this coming Saturday. Regardless, the Blue Devils are coming into the matchup against the preseason’s No. 1 team with the acknowledgment that they are the undisputed underdog.

“I think Connecticut is the best team left,” Krzyzewski said. “I’m not saying they can’t be beaten, but I think they’re the best team because they have more ways to beat a team than anybody else.

They can beat you with defense, with rebounding, with their inside game, their outside shooting and with driving.”

The considerable amount of respect the Blue Devils have for the Huskies is not to be equated with complacency, however.

“We have to play the game of our lives to come out with a victory,” said Chris Duhon, the Blue Devil who Krzyzewski has described as having the heart of a lion for the gutsy and imperative performances he has mustered in the tournament despite suffering from bruised ribs. “We know we are real underdogs. It reminds me of ‘99 when Duke was the favorite and those guys were real underdogs, so hopefully...the underdog will prevail.”

OKAFOR BIG CHALLENGE FOR THE LANDLORD

by Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

Shelden Williams played tough defense against Lionel Chalmers of Xavier, and he will have to do the same Saturday against Okafor.

In his first two tours of duty around the ACC, Duke forward Shelden Williams has seen some of the best big men the NCAA has to offer. Despite the plethora of premier talents with whom Williams has knocked elbows, the general consensus is that the sophomore never has, and most likely never will, be required to go against a player of a higher caliber than the man who will stare him down at Saturday night’s tip-off—Connecticut’s Emeka Okafor.

“Okafor is going to be the best player he’s played against,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

“You’re not going to be able to stop Okafor. He’s going to be good, you just don’t want him to play great against you.”

Okafor has already built a reputation as one the game’s dominating defensive presences. In three seasons he has blocked 437 shots, which places him seventh on the all-time NCAA list, and he receives high praise from Williams.

“Okafor’s a good player. He’s strong and physical,” Williams said. “I know, going into the game for me, that was a great match. He’s one of the nation’s best big men.”

Fortunately for Williams and the Blue Devils, Okafor has recendy been hampered by injury. The unanimous first-team All-American has been batding back spasms since the beginning of the Big East Tournament, and although UConn players, coaches and trainers insist that Okafor’s back is healthy, his offensive numbers so far in the tournament suggest otherwise. In the first three rounds, the junior had an impressive 12.3 rebounds per game, but only averaged 12.3 points, almost six points below his regular-season output.

To make matters worse for the Huskies, Okafor only played 19 minutes in his team’s Elite Eight victory over Alabama due to a pinched nerve in his

Emeka Okafor has dominated college basketball this season to the tune of 4.2 blocks per game.

NCAA Tourney elevates NBA prospects’ stock

In 1999, Wally Szczerbiak, a little-known forward from diminutive Miami College in Oxford, Ohio, captured the attention of the basketball world after scoring 43 of his team’s 59 points in an upset victory over Washington in the NCAA Tournament.

With the whole nation watching, ‘Wally World” went on to score 30 points a game in three tournament contests, the best scoring average mark in the tournament.

Later that year, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Szczerbiak with the sixth pick in the draft, in part based on his amazing tournament performance. Moral of the story: Doing well in the NCAATournament helps your draft stock.

Okay, so Szczerbiak wasn’t exactly a flash in the pan; he was scoring 24 points a game before the tournament and had a reputation as one of the nation’s top shooters. But there’s little doubt that Szczerbiak used his tournament performance as a springboard up draft charts everywhere to get him to the sixth slot.

Although nobody this year has put on any Szczerbiak-esque performances, a number of prospects have greatly improved their draft position through their play in the tournament. Here’s a look at a few of them: Kirk Snyder, G, Nevada: The 6-foot-6 Snyder, who averaged 19 points and six rebounds for the Wolf Pack before the tournament, was already being mentioned as a •

possible NBA prospect thanks to a pair of stellar regular season games against Connecticut (22 points) and Kansas (29 points, nine rebounds). NBA scouts, however, started taking even more notice during Nevada’s Sweet 16 run, which saw the Wolf Pack demolish Gonzagaand give Final Four participant Georgia Tech all it could handle.

During the run, Snyder replicated his regular season stats against much tougher tournament foes, knocking down 19 points a game, including an impressive 18 point, nine rebound performance against Gonzaga in the second round. At 6-foot-6, 225 lbs., Snyder possesses ideal size for an NBA shooting guard and has the scorer’s mentality to play the position. Snyder is also a very solid rebounding guard with very good range on his jump shot, as evidenced by his

35-percent three-point shooting.

Additionally, scouts have to love his confident swagger. Unintimidated by any opponent, Snyder’s attitude is a big reason why

Nevada got as far as it did in the tournament.

Luol Deng, F, Duke; A coveted NBA prospect since high school, Deng, who averaged 15 points and seven rebounds for the Blue Devils this season, exhibited consistency rarely seen in freshmen by notching double digit scoring totals in 24 of Duke’s 29 regular-season contests. He entered the NCAA Tournament on a tear, scoring in double figures in 13 ofhis last 14 games.

Deng continued his hot play in the NCAA Tournament, averaging 18 points and six rebounds for the Atlanta bracket champion Blue Devils, including 19 points in a narrow three-point win against an upstart Xavier team to advance to the Final Four. For his efforts, Deng was named Most Outstanding Player in the region.

•

t0 S

°

At 6-foot-8, Deng has the athleticism and skills to do virtually anything on the court, making him a can’t-miss NBA prospect. Additionally, Deng’s versatility would allow him to play small forward in the pros, where his athleticism and seven-foot wingspan would give other teams fits. More importantly, however, Deng has showed intangible abilities in powering the Blue Devils past Illinois and Xavier with significant leadership. On a team filled with star power, Deng has quietly become the Blue Devils’ go-to guy in the clutch despite the fact that he is just a freshman.

Much has been said about Deng’s journey to the Gothic Wonderland, and many sources believe he will stay at least another year at Duke. Should he decide to declare for the draft, however, Deng may have played himself into a top-10 pick.

Other players who likely improved their stock include Kansas forward Wayne Simien, a 6-foot-9, 250-pound double-double machine. Because of his size, Simien is an absolute monster in the low post, and he is beginning to show off a greatly improved face-up game. Xavier guard Lionel Chalmers also looked impressive during his Elite Eight run, showing a much improved ability to use his quickness to get to the hoop for easy buckets. Lastly, Georgia Tech’s 6-foot-3 point guard JarrettJack already possesses all the attributes necessary to be a successful NBA player, and his 29-point, nine-rebound, six-assist effort against Kansas proved that Jack is indeed capable of scoring in bunches. Those, coupled with his indomitable spirit and passion, should make him a very desirable NBA player when he decides to declare for the draft.

Whether per tradition or an unofficial rule book hidden in Coach K’s desk drawer, there are certain requirements a Duke basketball player must fulfill in order to merit his number’s redrement and his jersey’s subsequent elevadon to the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

For those scoring at home, those requirements seem to be: National Player of the Year, first team All-American, first-team All-ACC and, most importantly, a Duke diploma.

Unfortunately for Chris Duhon, he doesn’t make the grade which is really too bad, because his No. 21 deserves to hang next to the 12 other Blue Devil jerseys in the rafters.

At the very least, Duhon’s numbers make a pretty strong case.

Consider: Duhon has 813 career assists (second all-time in program history to Bobby Hurley), 301 steals (best ever at Duke) and 4773 minutes played (second all-time to Hurley as well). In addidon, Duhon has won one nadonal championship, three ACC championships and, while nursing bruised ribs, he has led his team to a Final Four/Championship Game/NCAA tide, depending on this weekend’s outcome.

And also, he’s on track to graduate this spring with a major in sociology.

But Duhon isn’t a NPOY and was never a first-team All-American—he made third-team this year—so his jersey won’t be retired.

Which raises my question: what’s the point of retiring jerseys anyway?

If the University wanted to display its NPOY award winners, Duke could make a plaque and glue it to the Jumbotron above Cameron’s floor.

But if it wants to immortalize the best players ever to play in Cameron, then it should actually do just that.

By not rewarding Duhon for sticking with Duke for four years and for putting the team’s success before his own glory, the University—or Athletic Director Joe Alieva or President Nan Keohane or Coach K or whomever makes the decision—is sending the message that loyalty and unselfishness are less important than individual accomplishments.

(Don’t forget, Duhon’s stadstics would be far more impressive if he hadn’t spent so much energy every game guarding the opposing

Chris Duhon represents everything good about Duke basketball.

He is a tough-nosed defender with an enthusiasm and intelligence for the game that is synonymous with Blue Devil hoops. He has won a national championship, been named first-team All-ACC, and been one of the select few ofhead coach Mike Krzyzewski’s players to captain more than one squad. The being said, Duhon’s jersey in no way deserves to hang from Cameron’s rafters.

The simple reason is that though he represents Duke basketball, he does not transcend it, and that is the only factor that warrants permanent idolatry in Blue Devil basketball history. Just think ofall the other players whose numbers glow above Coach K Court: Johnny Dawkins, Danny Ferry, Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Shane Battier and Jason Williams all did things that made them more than just basketball players. Duhon has not.

So what exactly has Duhon accomplished in his four years at Duke? He was a national champion his freshman year, but that was mainly because of the likes of Battier, Williams, Mike Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer. Even Nate James and Casey Sanders arguably had biggerroles on that team than the current point guard. Duhon has even admitted this year that he was merely “star gazing” his first season.

His sophomore year he was only the fourth option on an underachieving team and his junior year was a giant disappointment, as a preseason National Player of the Year candidate turned into only a third-teamAll-ACC performer. And for all that winning he has done, Duhon has never averaged more than 10points per game in any season, including this year.

It was not until the 2003-04 season that Duhon even was the clear leader of a Final Four caliber team. And all he did was lead the team, which is infinitely different than carrying a team to victory. All the previous players with retired jerseys willed their squads to win by carrying their teammates on their backs. Duhon merely shouts out instructions to those that truly make the great scoring plays. Yes Duhon has occasionally carried the team, such as against Maryland in the ACC tournament finale and on the road against Florida State, but he has been far too inconsistent in these instances to be considered in the same

FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 2004 113

DUKE-UCONN is one of 10 finalists for the Wooden Award, which annually honors the nation’s top player. But the prospect of UConn’s chance at a national championship has been slowed by an injury to Okafor that is similar to a stinger in his neck and shoulder area. Originally incurred in a Regional Final win over Alabama last weekend, Okafor’s injury was reaggravated Wednesday in practice.

“We fully expect that he may take it easier (Thursday), but will fully practice again on Friday,” Calhoun said.

But it will take much more than an injury to stymie Okafor. “[He] has really good timing on his blocked shots,” Duke center Shelden Williams said. “He’s always put in a position where he’s going to get the block or you’re going to adjust your shot. He does a great job of not getting into foul trouble that way.”

Such is the precipice Williams nears every time he attempts to swat away the shots of opposing players, as Duke’s center is also one of the nation’s most feared big men. But Williams is prone to getting into foul trouble, which has diminished his productivity and uncovers an Achilles Heel of the Blue Devil juggernaut—post depth.

Shavlik Randolph and Nick Horvath complement Williams in the paint—Krzyzewski has called Randolph’s tournament play “great...he’s all over the place right how trying to make plays”—butWilliams’ efficacy for the Blue Devils’ much-ballyhooed insideoutside attack is pivotal to Duke’s game plan.

As such, if Duke is to take advantage of its backcourt of Duhon, JJ. Redick and Daniel Ewing, it will need Williams’ presence and his numbers on the court. Thus far in the tournament, he is averaging 13.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, all while going an impressive 19-of-21 from the charity stripe. Additionally, the increasing effectiveness of Randolph has aided Duke’s cause, as defenses are unable to focus on one facet ofDuke’s style of play, thereby freeing up guards for open

shots and noteworthy penetration.

The key for the Blue Devils, then, will be utilizing their balanced offense and their potentially suffocating defense.

Regardless, Duke’s two most important players right now may be Luol Deng and Duhon. Deng, a freshman whose performance in the tournament has been nothing short of spectacular, has developed into Duke’s most consistent offensive threat, the value of which is immeasurable for a Blue Devil team that thrives on its multifaceted methods of scoring.

“Luol is now more comfortable, and just going out and making plays now as opposed to earlier,” Ewing said. “He didn’t know when he’d be able to really take over the game because he was a freshman, so he didn’t want to seem selfish. Now, if he needs to make a play or step up for us, he goes and does it without hesitation.

But it is Duhon who remains at the core of Duke’s chances at upsetting the Huskies Saturday, most notably for his ability to shut down Gordon on defense, his direction of the Blue Devil offense, and his unwavering on-court leadership to keep steady the heads of a team that has never been to the Final Four. Indeed, Duhon is the lone Blue Devil to have played in the national semifinals, with that experience coming in the 2001 season when Duke last claimed an NCAA championship. But Duhon prefers action to words, and fully expects for Saturday’s matchup to evolve accordingly.

“We could talk about it, but guys are going to have to experience it for themselves,” Duhon said.

“We’re the guys who have been there before, so we don’t get too excited, our emotions are kind of normal. But we can setde these guys down and tell them just to go out and play the basketball game.”

And that’s all it is to the Blue Devils—one game at a time. Saturday they will take on UConn, with neither the pang of past losses nor the thrill of past wins playing any role in the contest.

“It’s been a great year and it feels great that we’re accomplishing a lot, and we still have more things we can accomplish,” Duhon said. “And what better group to do it with than these guys?”

Great friends off the court, they complimented each other even better on it. For the three seasons they played together at Blair, the 2003 McDonald’s All Americans challenged each other every day, helping to develop their respective skills for the next level.

“Luol and I helped each other out a lot,” Villanueva said. “Sometimes he got the best out of me. Sometimes I got the best out of him.”

Through all of their friendly battles, they never quarreled.

“They competed very hard,-but it was never in a negative way,” Mantegna said.

championship.

On the collegiate level, the Blair stars have emerged as different types of players.

Deng has become Duke’s star, winning the Atlanta region’s Most Outstanding Player honor and developing into a team leader in the process.

“Luol is magnificent,” Sports Illustrated writer and CBS sports analyst Seth Davis said. “Duke is not in the Final Four without Luol Deng. He has really become their best player.”

Villanueva, on the other hand, has become an essential role player on a team full of veteran stars. He has had to compete for minutes with All-American Emeka Okafor and forward Josh Boone ever since he was forced to sit out the first six games of the season because of NCAA investigations into his eligibility.

Now just a year removed from playing together for a state tide and joking about the possibility of an All-Blair Academy Final Four with fellow alumni Royal Ivey of Texas (Blair 2000) and Jason Haas of Stanford (Blair 2002), the two will be forced to put their friendship aside for 40 minutes and fight for a chance to play in the National Championship game.

“This is the matchup I was hoping for,” Villanueva said. “It’s going to be a big game.

I’m excited. The best team should win.”

With much more than friendly bragging rights on the line, the occasion will likely be bittersweet for Deng and Villanueva.

“It might sour the occasion for one or the other to know that one of them is not going to fulfill their big life dreams,” Mantegna said. To have success at the expense of the other is something they are not looking to do. It’s tough for only one of them to be going to the ultimate game.”

Such is the nature of March Madness and the Final Four. Come Monday night, however, one thing is for sure whoever is left watching on television will be cheering on his best friend.

But Connecticut has since resolved the Villanueva issue, and Gordon has amply demonstrated that the Huskies can win without Okafor. Now, after being crowned the best of the West, the Huskies take their show to San Antonio for a shot at the school’s second-ever national championship.

‘This is the right time for us to be playing this well,” said Gordon, who was named Most Outstanding Player-in the Phoenix region. “Hopefully we can get better with every game. Hopefully we have two left.”

If Gordon continues to shred opposing defenses like he has the past few weeks, those hopes could turn into reality very soon.
