Debate over parties off campus rages on Skyward Darby THE CHRONICLE

Christina Headrick hates when her neighborhood looks “trashy.”

A resident of the Trinity Park area near East Campus, Headrick has spent many Sunday mornings walking down streets and past yards strewn with trash—remnants of Duke students’ weekend partying. What happens in the middle of the night, Headrick said, is even more “inappropriate.”

“We have difficulty driving down Watts Street because there are literally hundreds of undergraduates looking for parties, which is hilarious because our neighborhood is not a nightclub district,” Headrick explained. “I’m friends with people who tell me about people vomiting on cars... or guys with it whipped out in the front yard peeing on the grass.”

Other drunk students have cursed at her friends and hurled beer cans at the neighborhood’s elementary school, she added.

Because Duke students are required to live on campus for three years, it is mostly seniors

who live in the Trinity Park houses. But students of all years spill over the stone wall that surrounds East Campus to party every weekend. Clad in Polo shirts and khakis, stilettos and mini skirts, they head into the local neighborhoods for off-campus parties where the booze flows and music pounds —and there are no University regulations.

After the most recent rash of student festivities two weekends ago, tensions are at a familiar high. Fed-up with the situation, neighbors want clear consequences for debauchery and enforcement of zoning laws that are supposed to limit the number of people living in each house. Students want an understanding with their neighbors that will allow them to continue to socialize.

Compounding complaints For as long as students have been partying off campus, neighbors like Headrick have been complaining. Sgt. Ed Sarvis of the Durham Police Department said officers respond to an average of two to three noise complaints every weekend. He added that there are several “party houses” in the area that the police expect to get complaints about. According to DPD records, the police received 229 loud music/party SEE PARTIES ON PAGE 7

Bush spending plan to cut programs Martin Crutsinger THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

by

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush’s $2.5 trillion budget is shaping up as his most austere, trying to restrain spending across a wide swath of government from popular farm subsidies to poor people’s health programs.

Vice President Dick Cheney defended the plan Sunday against Democratic criticism that Bush had to seek steep cuts in scores of federal programs because he is unwilling to roll back first-term tax cuts that opponents contend primarily benefited the wealthy.

The budget’s submission to Congress set off months of intense debate. Lawmakers from both parties can be expected to vigorously fight to protect their favorite programs.

“This is the tightest budget that has been submitted since we got here,” Cheney told “Fox News Sunday.”

“It is a fair, reasonable, responsible, serious piece of effort. It’s not something we have done with a meat ax, nor are we suddenly turning our backs on the most needy people in our society.”

Bush will propose spending $2.5 trillion in the budget year that begins Oct. 1. For the current year, he is estimating the budget deficit will reach a record $427 billion.

That compares with last year’s $412 billion deficit and is the third straight year the Bush administration will have set, in dollar terms, a deficit high.

Edwards to head UNC poverty center Undergrads lead history by

Orcun Unlu

THE CHRONICLE

Former Sen. John Edwards is coming back to North Carolina. Tar Heels will have the opportunity to be taught by the former vice presidential candidate, who will head the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill’s new Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity.

Edwards will also hold a part-time faculfor two years that will be fundposition ty ed by private gifts to the University. “I will work hands-on to explore creative approaches to the difficulties that families in poverty face every day,” Edwards said in a statement. “We will work tirelessly so that America’s bright light of opportunity shines on all of us.”

Edwards, a 1977 graduate of the UNC School of Law, announced Friday that he is going back to his alma mater Feb. 14.

“He couldn't be happier,” said Kim Rubey, Edwards’ spokesperson.

Gene Nichol, dean and Burton Craige professor at the UNC School of Law, said he is also grateful that Edwards decided to return. “He is certainly one of the best lawyers in the United States and it’s exciting to have him on our campus,” he said.

“He has done a great deal to focus the country on social issues.”

Nichol said the Center for Civil Rights at UNC also will benefit from Edwards’ presence since it looks at significant problems for the United States and attempts to get its arms around these problems.

“John is going to do a lot of different series of public lectures that will be open to everyone, and [conduct] guest teachings that will be exciting for students,” Nichol said. “The [Poverty Center] will bring people from around the country and the world to explore the social issues.”

The former senator from North Carolina was in Manchester, N.H., Saturday, where he announced the move at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s Annual 100 Club Dinner.

“It may seem like an impossible goal to end poverty, but that’s what the skeptics said about all of our other great challenges,” Edwards said. “If w e can put a man on the moon, conquer polio and put

Richard Williams, chair of the board of trustees at UNC, said he was glad Edwards chose UNC. “If he is able to [gather] intellectual capital and resources for the elimination of poverty or the challenges of poverty, it will place this campus as a forefront to alleviate social problems,” he said. Williams also noted that the trustees were nevertheless concerned about whether or not this was a political maneuver.

“We wanted to make absolutely clear that this is focused on poverty and is not a political opportunity for Edwards.”

Williams continued. “That is the assurance we got from the administration.”

On his part, Edwards said he is waiting for his wife to recover from treatment for breast cancer, diagnosed last year, before deciding on what to do in 2008. “Poverty is not a political issue,” Rubey said, “and he is not thinking

Nichol mentioned that Edwards might, however, engage in politics outside campus while directing the new center, since Edwards only has a part-time appointment at UNC. “I’m sure that the rest of the time he’s going to do other things,” Nichol said.

Duke also considered offering Edwards a position. “After the elections he began talking to many officials from other universities, including Duke,” Rubey said.

John Burness, Duke’s senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, confirmed that the administration had some discussions with staff members regarding Edwards.

“It never came to the point for an offer,” said Burness, who nevertheless hopes that Duke students can also take advantage of the opportunities the center may provide. “I hope our faculty and students can participate in the Poverty Center,” he added.

“The department has X number of TAs, but it has X-plus needs,” said Wilson, who is also a senior associate dean of Trinity College and the pre-law adviser.

“We’re trying this as an experiment.”

Lining up five graduate student TAs would have been a logistical challenge, so Wilson discussed options with Sarah Deutsch, chair of the history department. Then, he solicited the opinions of undergraduates who had served as TAs in other departments.

“Some of them felt like grading their fellow students was a bit awkward,” Wilson said. To avoid this potential problem, he split the normal duties of TAs. Although the undergraduate discussion group leaders do issue participation grades, Wilson left grading to graduate students.

Wilson chose his undergraduate aides from students who had previously taken the class and done well, he explained. He looked for candidates who were particularly excited and articulate.

Rice: Israel must make peace process decision by

Anne Gearan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DEBBIE

U.S. Secretary ofState Condoleeza Rice visitsYad Vashem in Jerusalem during her two-day trip.

HILL/UPI

JERUSALEM The United States will ask Israel to make “hard decisions” as it moves toward peace with the Palestinians, and both sides must live up to their promises, Condoleezza Rice said on Sunday during her first trip to the Middle East as secretary of state.

Rice's two-day visit to Israel and the West Bank headquarters of the newly elected Palestinian government is meant to nudge both sides to take hold of what Rice called “a time of opportunity” and end four years of war.

Rice met privately Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the former warrior turned potential peacemaker. On Monday, she planned to visit with the Palestinians’ new president, MahmoudAbbas.

“We will ask of our partners and our friends here in Israel that Israel continue to make the hard decisions that must be taken in order to promote peace and help the emergence of a democratic Palestinian state,” Rice said Sunday.

Among the major challenges are what to do about Israeli outposts on land that Palestinians eventually would control; the fate of the separation barrier Israel is building between itself and the West Bank; and new security arrangements with the Palestinians.

The Palestinians also hope to make east Jerusalem the capital of an independent state, while Israel claims the city as its capital.

Sharon greeted Rice warmly, telling her in English, “you are among friends.”

“Her visit, I believe, will contribute to

the peace process that we so much want to advance,” Sharon said in Hebrew.

In a boost to peace prospects, the mainstream Palestinian movement Fatah said Sunday it would agree to a mutual ceasefire with Israel in the West Bank and Gaza.

Fatah also ruled out attacks against civilians inside Israel.

Palestinians hope for such a mutual declaration when Abbas meets Sharon at a summit in Egypt.

A lasting peace deal for Israel and creation of a Palestinian democracy are chief foreign policy goals for the United States in President Bush's second term. For now, though, the United States is taking a low-

key approach.

As Rice visited European capitals last week, she repeatedly said that Israel and the Palestinians should control their own path to peace, -with help from the United States, Europeans and others.

In Turkey earlier on Sunday, Rice said the United States has no immediate plans to name a special envoy for Middle East peace, although the administration is working on ways to monitor or enforce a cease-fire.

Rice is making an eight-day trip through Europe and the Middle East, her first overseas diplomacy.

Rice's schedule is carefully laid out to balance Israeli and Palestinian sensitivities.

She will be the most senior U.S. official to see Abbas since his election last month. It is also the first time in years that a senior American official has gone to Ramallah, site of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's crumbling compound.

Ruling affects tobacco lawsuit N.C. officials fear Medicaid changes

by Hillary Roxe THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON .An appeals court Friday dealt a major blow to the government's attempt to hold the tobacco industry accountable for decades of alleged deceit about the dangers of smoking, ruling the Justice Department can’t seek $2BO billion in penalties.

In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found the government could not use a federal racketeering law to seek the

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

eteering trial. The government has described the sum as an estimate of money the companies earned illegally through fraudulent activities such as marketing to children and denying doing so.

The trial, which comes six years after the states reached settlements worth $246 billion with the industry to recoup the cost of treating sick smokers, is in its fifth month and probably will continue for several more.

RALEIGH Local and state officials fear that President George W. Bush’s budget will provide little increases for Medicaid, leaving them to make the difficult decision of who gets or doesn’t get medical treatment.

Officials know that defense and homeland security are largely untouchable, and that raising taxes is not considered an option. That leaves domestic programs when Bush releases his budget today, and Medicaid is the biggest.

“The impact would be tremendous,” said Noah Woods, a county commissioner in Robeson County, where almost a third of the people carry a Medicaid insurance card. “A lot of elderly people, a lot of children would not receive the medical services that they need.”

An actual reduction in federal Medicaid money for North Carolina is not considered likely. The proposed amount, however, will probably rise just a little from the previous year, not enough to keep up with rising costs. At the care-delivery level, it may seem like a cut.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt held a conference call with governors Thursday, warning of proposals in the president’s budget they may not like. He said Bush would push for tax credits for the poor to buy their own insurance, a plan Bush has promoted in the past that has gotten little traction in Congress.

Leavitt also warned of $6O billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade, elimination of some accounting tactics that states have used to save money, and, perhaps, capping the amount the federal government will provide for optional programs such as prescription drugs and dental care.

A cap would help the federal government control the amount it sends to states for Medicaid, a program whose cost is shared by the federal government, the states, and

huge penalty.

The decision comes in the midst of a months-long trial in U.S. District Court on the government’s lawsuit contending the industry knew about the health dangers of smoking but hid that information from the public. The trial will crippling continue while the government consid-

ers an appeal.

Even if the decision stands, U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler could impose restrictions on the tobacco companies, such as limiting marketing or requiring the industry to fund public health campaigns or smoking cessation programs.

Still, the appeals court decision was a major win for tobacco companies. Wall Street greeted it by sending stock prices of cigarettes makers sharply higher.

Charles A. Blixt, executive vice president and general counsel for RJ. Reynolds Tobacco Co., said the ruling “dramatically transforms” the government’s lawsuit.

Government lawyers were reviewing the ruling and had no immediate comment, Justice Department spokesperson Kimberly Smith said. Government lawyers could request a rehearing in front of the three judges, ask for the full appeals court to consider the case or appeal to the Supreme Court.

Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice in New Jersey, said the decision lowers the stakes for the tobacco companies, potentially clearing the way for a settlement.

“The decision significantly changes the leverage that the government had going into the case,” he said.

The $2BO billion is the most ever sought in a civil rack-

or alcohol violation calls at 16 residences in the Trinity Park and Trinity Heights area between Jan. 1, 2001 and Jan. 25, 2005.

One of the residences, 508 N. Buchanan St., was the site of a party Jan. 22 that received national publicity after police found students wrestling in baby oil. Currently home to several members of the off-campus fraternity Eta Prime—which was known as Kappa Sigma until it left campus in Fall 2002 —the residence has been the subject of 38 loud music/party calls in the past four years.

Junior Kevin Breaux, president of Eta Prime, said a party “of that magnitude will not be happening again” because “there is no desire to cause that much attention.”

He noted that huge student parties are isolated incidents and smaller gatherings are more the norm. But neighborhood residents and police, Breaux said, seem determined to break up parties ofall sizes.

“If there’s a huge party and trash in the yards, that’s a legitimate complaint,” Breaux said, but he recalled being at a house last year when four police cars arrived to break up a party of only 12 students.

Junior Billy Fennebresque, a member of the off-campus fraternity Delta Phi Alpha—formerly Sigma Alpha Epsilon until it disaffiliated from the University in Spring 2002—said neighbors and police also seem set on disbanding any gathering at 203 Watts St., where several of his fraternity brothers live.

“We’ve had fraternity meetings at 8 o’clock at night with just brothers, no girls, no alcohol... and the police will come and say, ‘What are you guys doing?’ because they’ve been called for a noise ordinance,” Fennebresque said.

The police said most of the calls they

respond to are legitimate noise complaints. “In the vast majority of these cases, neighbors are getting woken up in the middle of the night, and the noise is excessive,” Sarvis said.

Fennebresque and junior Ryan Turner—another Delta Phi Alpha member—also accused the neighbors of preventing them from hiring off-duty officers to patrol parties. Fennebresque said the officers are hired to help keep events under control and create a safe environment for the students who leave campus to party. Neighbors are suspicious that on-duty police are less likely to break up officer-patrolled parties.

Headrick, however, said neighbors are not trying to stop students from hiring security, but they want laws fully enforced at all times.

mie Michael said the police have stopped hiring out extra security for parties. Sarvis said the policy changed because it presented “a conflict ofinterest.”

Legal trouble Headrick emphasized that while Trinity Park is meant to be a predominately “single-family residential area,” the neighbors do not want to stop all parties or eradicate the student population. All they ask, she said, is for reasonableness.

“No one is saying all students are like this orwe don’t want students to live here,” Headrick said. “But we don’t want people operating bars in our neighborhood.”

Josh Parker, who lives on Gregson Street, said residents expect alcohol and noise issues to crop up in an urban area, but he noted that there should be conse-

quences for anyone who violates the law and disrupts the neighborhood.

“I don’t think we should be targeting students,” he said. “I would be saying the same thing to my neighbor, a married couple.”

Members of Eta Prime and Delta Phi Alpha said neighbors and Duke administrators should not just be targeting offcampus fraternities as the crux of the partying problem. Members of on-campus fraternities like Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu and sports teams like lacrosse and track also choose to live in groups off campus and throw parties.

Members of several on-campus fraternities either did not respond to requests for interviews or refused to be quoted. Members of the track team who live off campus SEE PARTIES ON PAGE 8

said they have strong relationships with their neighbors.

Headrick said fraternities that “set up shop” in the neighborhood are the focus of most complaints. She said neighbors suspect many fraternity members are violating city regulations and living in larger groups than zoning laws permit.

Turner said 203 Watts St. is leased to individual students, not to Delta Phi Alpha, and the students who reside there “live in accordance with the law.” Similarly, Breaux said the residence where Eta Prime members live is “the house we sometimes gather at,” not a fraternity house.

Breaux added, however, that zoning laws that limit occupancy are “outdated” —a sentiment shared by many students.

In its simplest form, the law states that no more than three unrelated persons may live in a single family home

together.

The houses in Trinity Park have high property values because of their size and location, and dividing rent among only three residents in houses with four or more bedrooms can be financially difficult. Many students still choose to live in the neighborhood, however, because it is safe and close to the University. Students have reported that in order to live in the area, some of their peers elect to live in larger groups to cut down on individual costs, placing themselves in a precarious legal position.

Headrick said it is difficult to prove whether or not stu'

On the other hand, many Sunni Arabs, estimated at 20 percent of the population and the core of the insurgency, are believed to have stayed home, either out of fear of rebel reprisal or because of a boycott call by Sunni clerics.

The four Egyptians were seized early Sunday near the Mansour district of western Baghdad, Egyptian and Iraqi officials said. They worked for Iraqna, a subsidiary of the Egyptian firm Orascom Telecommunications, which oper-

dents are violating the occupancy regulations because the “city is reluctant to do all of the work to investigate” the issue, but the neighborhood has not ruled out proceeding with litigation if it would alleviate the number of problemcausing houses.

University responsibility Neighbors have also criticized the University for not suit-

ably punishing students who misbehave offcampus. Parker

said right now there are “just a lot of folljLS at Duke in the administration saying they can’t do anything about it.”

According to the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information and Regulations, Duke’s jurisdiction extends off campus when students’ actions pose a direct or indirect threat to the University community. Vice President for Student.

Affairs Larry Moneta said the policy is “fairly and deliberately open-ended.” He also said he regularly has conversations with students who have been cited for noise or alcohol violations off campus.

Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Stephen Bryan said whether or not the University takes disciplinary action against a student for off-campus behavior “depends on the situation,” but the administration treats students who live off campus in the same manner it treats students living in the dorms.

Noting that Duke lacks the resources to take on the number of cases that would result from a zero tolerance stance regarding off-campus partying, Bryan pointed out that the question of where to end a university’s jurisdiction does not have an easy solution. ates the mobile phone network in Baghdad and central Iraq.

Six other Egyptians working for Iraqna were kidnapped in two separate incidents in September. All were ultimately freed although Orascom said at the time that it was committed to continuing its work in Iraq.

No group claimed responsibility for the abduction. Friday, Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena was kidnapped by gunmen outside Baghdad University. Sgrena, 56, is a reporter for the communist daily II Manifesto.

Her colleagues appealed Sunday to her captors to free her, citing the journalist's anti-American stance and saying that holding her would damage the image of Iraq.

“If you’re going to extend it to a mile off campus, why shouldn’t you extend it to Myrtle Beach during beach week and the violations I’m sure go on there?” he said.

Moneta also pointed out that because students are adults, they should be able to regulate their own behavior in a community setting.

“If we truly respect that part of coming to college is t0... prepare for adulthood, at some point as you move into the senior year, you’re going to have to get experience living among others—among non-students—and learn what’s appropriate in neighborhood relations,” he said.

colleagues said in a statement to Al-Jazeera television. “Keeping her captive and hurting her would amount to seriously damaging the cause of Iraq before the eyes of the world.”

A group calling itself the Islamic Jihad Organization claimed Friday to have kidnapped the woman and gave Italy 72 hours to withdraw its troops from Iraq. But it made no threats to kill her or say what would happen if its demands were not met.

More than 190 foreigners have been taken hostage in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

Earlier Sunday, a Web message appeared that was signed by the Jihad Organization. It threatened to kill Sgrena by Monday unless Italy agrees to withdraw its troops.

Duke runs over FSU in 2nd half by

Chrissee Gorman THE CHRONICLE

Just over one minute into the second half Sunday at Cameron Indoor Stadium, something clicked for the women’s basketball team.

The No. 3 Blue Devils (22-2, 8-1 in the ACC), who had FSU 64 been down for most of the first DUKE 75 half, went on an 18-0 run, eliminating No. 24 Florida State’s hopes ofanother upset.

The spurt came after Duke switched to zone defense at the start of the second half and its bench players stepped up on the offensive end. This was more than enough to pull off a 75-64 victory over the Seminoles (19-5, 5-4).

The Blue Devils controlled play for most of the second half after taking the lead at the 18:55 mark. Florida State pulled a little closer in the end but Duke held a 19-point advantage on three separate occasions.

Monique Currie led the team with 14 points but played with a stress fracture in her left foot that she said was “a little uncomfortable.” Currie said her injury has hampered her running ability, but the junior will have the week to recuperate before Duke travels to take on No. 20 Maryland Feb. 13.

Although the Blue Devils set the pace through much of the second half, even with Currie a step slow, they struggled to get off to a strong offensive start against the Seminoles.

“We knew Florida State was a great team,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said of a squad that handed Duke its only ACC loss last season in Tallahassee. “They are a very tough matchup for us because they basically have five guards out there much of the time.”

In the first half, Duke played a manto-man defense, which allowed Florida State to penetrate the lane, despite the height difference between the two teams.

The Seminoles’ starting lineup featured just one player over 6-feet, while four Blue Devil starters were at least 6-feet tall. FSU’s tallest starter, 6-foot-l guard Ganiyat Adeduntan, led her team with 12 first-half points.

After the Seminoles held a one-point lead at halftime, Duke came back after the break with a zone defense that forced nine FSU turnovers and gave the Blue Devils control of the game.

“Our zone was very good for us,” Goestenkors said. “On one end, we were getting stops with our zone. They were taking some long shots, we got some long rebounds, we got some fast break layups, which really got us excited.”

In the first half, Florida State recorded a 51.7 shooting percentage, but with a SEE FSU ON PAGE 6

DUKE SPLITS SEASON-OPENING SERIES Leslie Cooper THE CHRONICLE

by

In its first series of the 2005 season, the baseball team (1-1) split a pair of games with North Carolina A&T (1-1) at Jack Coombs Field this weekend.

Following a 2-0 victory Saturday, the Blue Devils went on to N.C.A&T drop their Sunday

with

the

Aggies, 4-1.

“I expected to Q N.CA&T come out of this DUKE 2 weekend 2-0,” head coach Bill Hillier said. “I’m unhappy with a 1-1 split against N. C. A&T. It’s a good program over there, but it’s not an ACCtype team. In order for us to do what we want to do, we have to put teams like that away.”

Miscues proved the deciding factor in Sunday’s game. The contest was scoreless until the top of the fourth inning, when Duke committed three errors, forfeiting three unearned runs to N.C. A&T. After a Chris Williams lead-off single, the Aggies’Jeremy Jones reached base on a fielder’s choice. Duke second baseman Adam Murray tagged Williams out, but the subsequent batter, Charlie Gamble, reached base on an error by shortstop Brett Bartles. Joe Mclntyre then hit a short chopper to pitcher Danny Otero, but Barties dropped Otero’s throw, allowingjones to score, Gamble to advance to third and Mclntyre to reach second.

“There were a lot of times at the plate that people didn’t drive runs in, too.”

was lackluster all weekend, especially with runners in scoring position. In Sunday’s game, Duke stranded 10 baserunners and drove in no runs. The Blue Devils’ only score came off a wild pitch thrown by the Aggies’ Clint Summers in the eighth inning.

“We were very confident in our bats coming into this weekend, and for whatever reason we just didn’t get them going,” Murray said. “It’s a shame because we wast-

ed good outings from our pitching staff both days,” Duke pitchers combined to allow only one earned run in 18 innings., Greg Burke earned Saturday’s win with six strikeouts in five innings, and David Torcise was credited with the save. Though he was the losing pitcher, Otero threw four strikeouts and no walks in four innings Sunday. Hillier said he plans to start both Burke and Otero in the team’s next series.

Ellis leaps to Duke triple jump record

Walter wins, but lllini top Blue Devils

Freshman Jade Ellis broke the school record in the triple jump at his first collegiate meet. Just two weeks later at Saturday’s Armory Invitational, Ellis shattered his own record by more than a meter and a half to surpass the provisional qualifying mark for the NCAA Indoor Championships. With his fourth-place finish, Ellis became the first male Duke athlete to clear a provisional distance for indoor nationals in a field event.

“This meet featured the highest caliber of national competition,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “He’s now on the national triple-jump scene.”

Ellis has worked to improved his entry speed and now approaches the jumps faster than he did in high school, he said.

He has also hit the weight room to increase his leg strength.

“I never worked this hard in high school,” Ellis said. “I’ve been working on my phases, making sure that each jump is the same and I get a lot ofpop out of my jumps—just the little things.”

The men’s and women’s track and field teams sent a group of 50 athletes, including Ellis, to compete in the Armory Invitational and the Millrose Games against some of the nation’s top competition.

Women’s high-jump standout Debra Vento extended her win streak to three and remains undefeated this season. The sophomore, whose jump last week was good enough for an NCAA Provisional mark, leaped to a height of 5-11.25, which was a quarter-inch shorter than last week’s mark.

when you get up, your feet are under you.

I didn’t have a good base, so it stayed with me a little longer.”

Despite the extended timeout, Krzyzewski’s players maintained their energy, which they had from the get-go against No. 22 Georgia Tech Saturday.

Three days after the No. 4 Blue Devils (17-2, 7-2 in the ACC) suffered their second defeat of the season, they relied on aggressive defense and balanced scoring to hand the Yellow Jackets (13-7, 4-5) their fourth ACC road loss.

“It was a great atmosphere in there, and we needed it to beat Georgia Tech,” Krzyzewski said. “It was a continuation of how we finished the Wake Forest game.

Instead of doing it in the second half, we came on in the first halfand stayed strong the whole game.”

With just over nine minutes left to play Saturday, Shavlik Randolph grabbed a rebound off a missed Daniel Ewing jumper and was fouled by Isma’il Muhammad. Off the inbounds play, Sean Dockery received long-range pass, squared up and swished an open three. After a quick turnover by Muhammad, No. 4 Duke again had the momentum and a double-digit advantage. “[The lead] was down to nine, and we were having problems with that exchange, so his bucket there was huge,” Krzyzewski said. “He called for the ball, and then he just shot it and knocked it down.”

Although Dockery’s three set Duke up for a 17-point victory, the Blue Devils also shot 8-for-18 from behind the arc and maintained relentless defensive pressure in the first half, playing with energy from die start. Duke totalled 13 first-half defen-

built a nine-point lead after 20 minutes. Redick scored 17 before the break, including five threes.

sive rebounds to Georgia Tech’s three offensive boards and forced eight Yellow Jacket turnovers. As a result, Duke took 39 shots while Georgia Tech put up only 27.

Redick, who scored 17 of his 26 points before halftime, went 5-for-l 1 from threepoint range in the opening 20 minutes.

“I don’t think that he looked like he had any doubt in himself when he went up to shoot the ball,” Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt said. “It looked like he had just made the lastfive in a row when he went up, and he did other things to help them win.”

Redick had four defensive rebounds, three assists and four steals, and Krzyzewski said the junior got the team “started with a good verve” that Randolph and Shelden Williams maintained with their interior play. Duke’s “big three” of Williams, Redick and Ewing combined for 57 of the team’s 82 points.

In what Krzyzewski called his best game of the year, Randolph blocked five shots and grabbed nine rebounds in 19 minutes. All of Randolph’s blocks came in the second half when he and Williams prevented Georgia Tech from taking easy shots inside.

“We didn’t take it up strong in the first half, we didn’t play through contact,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought the second half we came from a stronger base.”

Inside aggressiveness and desperate late fouls by the Yellow Jackets led to 17 points on 21 Duke free throws in the second half.

“We definitely needed that type of performance,” DeMarcus Nelson said. “We needed to go ont there and play with every single inch of pride and emotion for us. It wasn’t aboutWake Forest and it isn’t about North Carolina. It was about Duke

today.”

NOTES: Redick scored more than 20 points for the 15th time this season. Over the last seven games, he has averaged 26.9 ppg....

With 15 points and 12 rebounds, Williams recorded his 13th double-double on the year.... Freshman David McClure, who underwent surgery to remove a loose body in his left knee Feb. 1, will be out for 10 to 14 more days, Krzyzewski said Saturday.

Scrappy Duke beats Yellow Jackets at their own game by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

Duke isn’t more athletic than Georgia Tech, but it played like the quicker and more physical team Saturday.' stronger, especially inside, where the referees let the Payers bang. analysis Duke was better in transition, beat the Yellow Jackets to loose balls and crashed the glass for more second-chance points.

Not until the final minutes, when Georgia Tech employed its full-court press and stole the ball in the backcourt on 3-of-4 possessions, did it become clear that the Yellow Jackets were actually the more athletic team and Duke just played like it was.

“We had guys everywhere today,” senior Daniel Ewing said. “We had guys on loose balls. You need games like that when people are all over the court and seem like they are more athletic than they are.”

The Yellow Jackets, who often run circles around opponents, scored only three fast-break buckets. Instead, it was the Blue Devils who scored in transition. During a key first-half stretch when Duke initially distanced itself from the Yellow Jackets, the team used steals and long rebounds to get good looks before Georgia Tech could regain its defensive bearings.

Even though Redick appeared to be the Yellowjackets’ No. 1 defensive priority, he managed to elude them in transition.

Twice during this run, Redick sunk threes on the delayed break—once on a pull-up to get the spurt going and then on a stepback to give Duke a 24-14 lead. Coming out of the ensuing timeout prompted by Redick’s bucket, he raised his arms, looking at each side of Cameron Indoor Stadium and yelling “let’s go.”

Redick’s intensity, which head coach Mike Krzyzewski said was carried over from his almost-heroic ending at Wake Forest, was shared by his teammates, especially on the defensive end. Only when Duke’s defenders lost their men under the hoop several times in the first half did the Yellowjackets get anything easy.

“With an athletic team like that, you really can’t minimize it,” freshman DeMarcus Nelson said. ‘You justhave to play fundamental defense, and that’s what we did. We just looked to keep those guys off the boards. They go hard in transition, and we wanted to stop those things and make them a half-court team, and that’s what we did.”

Nelson and Duke’s other guards didn’t give the Yellow Jackets more

For most of the season, discussion about the Duke women’s basketball team’s flaws has focused on its lack of depth.

With Lindsey Harding out for the season and Caidin Howe gone for at least the next month, the roster is down to eisht aa me Now, with Monique Currie a step slower beanalysis cause of a stress fracture in her left foot, it might seem like Duke’s bench just became a whole lot shorter.

But the Blue Devils’ second-half surge against Florida State showed that surprising freshmen—most notably Chante Black and Laura Kurz, who combined for 19 points off the bench —can alleviate many of these expected problems.

Throughout the first half, Duke looked to its regular strongholds to run the show—particularly Currie, who leads the Blue Devils with 18.2 points per game. When Duke’s proven guns weren’t firing before halftime, the Blue Devils trailed by as many as seven against the much smaller Seminoles.

After FSU held a one-point lead at the break, head coach Gail Goestenkors switched to zone defense and soon brought Black and Kurz into the mi., Point guard Wanisha Smith was already in the game,and during the key 18-0 run that began just a minute after halftime, the three freshmen combined for 11 points while Currie only netted four.

Black roudnely got position under the basket, pulling down four rebounds and opening the lane for Duke’s slashers.

“Chante’s been playing pretty well the last couple of practices and the last two games now,” Goestenkors said. “I think she is adjusting to the physical play in college, and it makes all the difference in the world when we have her coming off the bench giving us a spark.”

Although the Blue Devils are able to get easy buckets because they are simply taller than their opponents, they won Sunday because players like Kurz and Smith gave the the team a second dimension from the outside. Kurz went 5-for-6 from the field for 11 points, almost all of which came from the perimeter. Meanwhile, it took Currie 14 attempts to make the same number of shots.

This bench play helped compensate for Currie’s stress fracture. Currie, who has averaged 20.6 points over the last nine games, scored only three of her 14 points in the first half.

“Monique Currie is a tremendous player,” Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. “She’s got so many different elements to her game. She has improved as a threepoint shooter. You have to defend her that way. She is a great post-up player. She was the one we worried about the most.”

“Anytime [Currie] puts the ball on the floor they’re double teaming her,” Goestenkors said. “We need some other players to step up, and I think we’re getting that, which is nice.”

This is where the freshmen Black, Kurz and Smith show that while Duke does not have strength in numbers, each of its eight has enough scoring ability to give opponents headaches.

Duke drops final ACC dual meet at UVa From staff reports Duke’s swimming and diving teams completed their regular seasons Sunday with losses at Virginia.

The men’s team fell 126-102, while the women’s squad lost 122-106.

Virginia’s women’s squad is ranked 12th nationally, and the Cavalier men are ranked 10th.

Duke’s men won jus two of nine events while the women won just one of 10 races.

The 200-yard medley relay team continued to be a bright spot for the Blue Devils, who won with a time of 1:34.97. David Peck, a member of the first-place relay team, also was the top finisher in the 100-yard backstroke.

The women won the 100-yard backstroke as Mallory O’Connell touched the wall in a time of 57.55.

The teams both fall to 3-7 and 0-6 in the ACC on the season. The women will return to the competition in two weeks for the ACC Championships, and the njgja will race in the same even the following week.

Despite the loss, Lapidus was pleased with the play of his team given the caliber of competition.

“I felt we played pretty well,” Lapidus said. “Illinois is probably one of the hardest places to play indoors. They have great fans, and the team is probably the second best of all teams indoors.”

Duke rebounded Sunday to defeat Notre Dame, 6-1. Walter’s play was again solid as he took his singles match in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4. Walter and Brezac won the deciding doubles match, 9-7,

after Stokke and Rodrigues picked up the first doubles win. Amritraj and Jason Zimmermann fell to the Irish pairing of Eric Langenkamp and Sheeva Parbhu.

“Once we won doubles, we felt comfortable,” Lapidus said.

The Blue Devils went on to win all but one singles match. Stokke defeated Stephen Bass in swift fashion, 6-1, 64. Rodrigues handled his opponent with similar ease, 6-2, 6-1.

Walter then completed his match, giving Duke its fourth point and the overall victory.

Peter Schults and Brezac won their matches, 6-3, 64, and 7-5, 4-6,10-6, respectively.

“Rowbury is clearly one of the best middle distance runners in the country,” Ogilvie said.

Rowbury also was the leadoff runner in the women’s distance medley relay, which included Allison Stankavage, Meghan Leon and Sally Meyerhoff. The group recorded a time of 11:14.30, which

snapped the previous Duke record by almost five seconds but was only good enough for fifth place. The first-place team, Villanova, ran almost 10 seconds faster in a race that featured the “strongest field ever to race this year,” assistant coach Kevin Jermyn said.

Junior Clara Horowitz ran to a third place finish in the 5,000-meter race, easily earning a provisional qualifying time but placing well behind the top two runners.

Jermyn said Horowitz started the race “extremely fast” and ran by herself for most of the remaining 15 minutes.

Zika, who saved seven match points in the second set before winning the debreaker, dropped the final set 64, allowing Kentucky to advance to Sunday’s final.

“Kentucky benefits from playing indoors,” Ashworth said. “We’re better outdoors than in, but we fought hard.”

With the Wildcats winning 3-2, senior Saras Arasu won a crucial comeback match against Daniella Petrinsko. Petrinsko took the first set 64 but 96th-ranked Arasu won the next two 6-3, 6-1 for the victory in the sixth flight.

No. 56 Jackie Carleton lost to seventhranked Aibika Kalsarieva 6-2, 6-0 in the first match to finish.

Freshman Clelia Deltour rolled to an easy 6-1, 6-2 win in the fourth slot, and Katie Blaszak took down 30th-ranked Sarah Foster 6-3, 6-0.

“Blaszak did a great Job this tournament,” Ashworth said. “She upset two players ranked higher than her. She’s put in the time and it’s paying off.”

Duke failed to win the doubles point for the first time this year. With two top-15 doubles squads, the Wildcats won the first doubles match 84 and broke in the final game of second doubles match to score a 9-7 victory. Parker Goyer and Deltour won 8-3 for Duke’s lone doubles victory, and the tandem remains undefeated on the season.

“Our No. 3 doubles played well this entire tournament,” Ashworth said. “They gave us everything we asked of them, and they won fairly easily.”

To advance the semifinal, Duke beat 12th-ranked Miami Friday. The Blue Devils clinched the victory by winning the doubles point and the first three singles slots.

“The Miami match is the best we have played this year,” Ashworth said. “They’re a very emotional team like Kentucky, but we were able to match them both physically and emotionally and take their best players out of the match.”

Deltour and Goyer won the deciding doubles match to put Duke up 1-0 against the Hurricanes. Deltour then went on to post another victory, this time in the fourth singles slot. Blaszak won her match, putting the Blue Devils within one point of the overall win. Arasu then clinched the match winning two tight sets, 7-5, 6-4.

SUPERBOWL from page' And it matched Dallas’ run of three championships in four years in the early ’9os.

“We’ve never really self-proclaimed ourselves anything,” said Tom Brady, who is 9-0 in the playoffs. “If you guys say we’re great, we'll accept the compliment.”

This one wasn't overpowering, and at times it was downright ugly. But not even Belichick seemed to care about that.

“To me this trophy belongs to these players,” Belichick said. “They met all comers this year, a very challenging year.

We're thrilled to win. These players played great all year, their best in the big games and they deserve it, they really deserve it.”

With MVP Deion Branch tying a Super Bowl record for receptions with 11, Brady efficiently running the offense and Rodney Harrison sparking a smothering defense, the Patriots (17-2) didn’t need a last-second field goal from Adam Vinatieri this time.

But his kick —a 22-yarder with 8:40 left—provided the points that made the difference. This time, the Patriots sealed it with a stop.

Philadelphia (15-4) got the ball back at its 4 with 46 seconds remaining. It was hardly enough time and far too much territory to cover against such a formidable foe.

Harrison got his second interception with 9 seconds remaining to end it.

Playing before a sea of mostly green jerseys in the crowd of 78,125, the Patriots ended Philadelphia’s chance of heading north with its first pro sports title since 1983. Indeed, it's been 45 years since the Eagles won the NFL crown. And even though they made it to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1981—after three straight conference championship flops—their sparkling season still ended

in disappointment.

“We were too sloppy to win,” receiver Terrell Owens said. “It was great to get back, but we made too many mistakes. We could have won and that hurts.”

Corey Dillon, a newcomer to the championship game, scored the goahead points on a 2-yard run early in the fourth period. And when Branch wasn't catching passes, the Patriots flaunted

their versatility by again using linebacker Mike Vrabel to find the end zone.

Vrabel has caught TD passes in two straight Super Bowls and has five TDs in as many career catches, not bad for a linebacker—or anyone else.

“It doesn’t matter who gets what,” Branch said of taking the MVP away from his quarterback.

When the offense bogged down or

turned over the ball, Harrison and his forced four turnovers, including a goal-line interception by the veteran safety.

The Patriots also had four sacks, making Donovan McNabb look ordinary, even skittish at times.

And while Owens’ return from a sevenweek injury layoff was an individual success—he had nine catches for 122 yards—it was not the star turn thatBranch made. mates

His three main objectives are to further the position of Duke as a premier international institution, increase the role of the University in Durham and North Carolina and increase the amount of interaction and collaboration among graduate students at different schools.

A fifth-year physics student, Saunders is assessing long-term priorities for the University in the context of expansion.

institutional growth in the next 20 years is a major priority for Saunders, who stressed the importance of systematically dealing with transportation and social space shortages in the face of the University’s expansion. Saunders’ top priorities include the development of an inclusive Central Campus plan, the need to evaluate the development of a new strategic plan and its impact on academic priorities, and the next fundraising campaign for Duke and its impact on graduate and professional student financial aid. “This has been a very humbling experience as I get to know more about Duke and start to think about the priorities the institution will have in the next 20 years,” he said.

The Justice Department is pursuing the case using a 1970 civil racketeering statute originally designed tcT prosecute mobsters. To win, the government must show the industry still is acting fraudulently or is likely to do so in the future.

Last year, Kessler ruled the government could seek the penalty, called a “disgorgement,” under the racketeering statute. The tobacco companies appealed and the appellate court sided with them, ruling the government can’t recover any money using the racketeering law because the statute requires “forward-looking remedies.”

Disgorgement is “a remedy aimed at past violations,” Judge David Sentelle wrote in the latest ruling. He was joined

by Judge Stephen Williams. Both were appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

In dissent, Judge David Tatel said his colleagues ignored Supreme Court precedent, misread the law and contradicted the decision of another appeals court, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. Tatel was appointed

by President Bill Clinton.

Jamin Raskin, a law professor at American University, said the decision is a big win for tobacco, “but the game isn’t over yet.” Tatel’s strong dissent gives the government strong grounds for an appeal, he said.

William V. Corr, executive director of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, urged the government to continue pressing its case.

“Today’s ruling should not be an excuse for this administration to seek a weak settlement that lets the tobacco industry off the hook,” he said.

UNDERGRADS from page 3 processes guidelines” to regulate the selection and evaluation of undergraduate teaching assistants.

“There has to be a systematic evaluation at the end of the semester,” Thompson said. “We’ll see how it works, but we have something to evaluate it against.”

Undergraduate teaching assistants get more out of their jobs than just a paycheck, Thompson pointed out, noting that they have regularly scheduled meetings with the professor of the course.

“There’s a service provided, but it’s not just a work situation,” Thompson said.

“It’s a mentoring opportunity.”

Thompson said it was important for undergraduates to be prepared and able to perform their teaching duties, but he noted that many faculty members feel that undergraduates who have previously taken a course are actually better than graduate students at leading discussions.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for students to get help on a level that’s more geared toward undergraduates,” said Elizabeth Dixon, a senior in the American Dreams course. “I think that our TA has done a great job pushing pertinent issues.”

After a few weeks of teaching their sec-

dons. Wilson’s discussion group leaders were positive about the experiment.

“There’s less of an age difference, so it can be a little easier for an undergraduate to relate to one of their peers,” said Scott Lemmon, a senior. He said he was glad, though, that he was not responsible for grading papers.

When it comes to running discussion sections, “There’s really no need for graduate students,” said senior Aneil Lala, another discussion group leader.

Wilson said he, along with the director of undergraduate studies for history and the department chair, will decide at the end of the academic year whether or not the pilot program has worked. He also described the start of the semester as a success.

“The enthusiasm of the undergraduate discussion group leaders is incredible,” Wilson said. “Everything I have heard thus far... has been very positive.”

Since increasing the opportunity for class discussion is a constant goal, Thompson said, undergraduate-led discussion sections could become a feature of other humanities courses, as long as the final reviews of Wilson’s class are

The cost will get passed on to others, including private patients and state and local taxpayers.

As a federal budget item, Medicaid nationwide outgrew Medicare—the health-care program for the elderly—two years ago and now covers more people and costs more money. (Medicare and Medicaid overlap considerably among the

BUSH from page 2 $230 billion in 2009

Those projections do not take into acbig-ticket items: the military costs incurred in Iraq and Afghanistan, the price of making Bush’s first term tax cuts permanent, or the transition costs for his No. 1 domestic priority, overhauling Social Security.

Sen. Kent Conrad, the top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, said Bush’s budget “talks about the next five years of reducing deficits, but what that hides is what happens after that five-year window. The cost of everything he advocount some

explodes.”

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., praised the administration’s approach: “I’m glad the president is coming over with a very austere budget. I hope we in Congress will have the courage to support it.”

Joshua Bolten, Bush’s budget director, told The Associated Press that when the budget is released, the administration will provide some estimates of the cost in increased government borrowing for the president’s proposal to allow younger workers to set up private savings accounts.

But he said the administration cannot provide total cost figures for the Social Se-

elderly poor. In general, Medicare focuses more on actual medical services, while services such as nursing-home care fall under Medicaid.)

Medicaid makes its presence felt in many ways in North Carolina.

It pays for medical treatment and other services for 14 percent of the state’s residents. It pays doctors and nursing homes and provides care for almost half the babies born and a majority of the

curity overhaul because all the elements of the plan have yet to be decided upon.

Cheney would not confirm estimates the overhaul could cost $4.5 trillion in additional government borrowing over 20 years.

Bush’s budget will restrain The growth in discretionary programs to less than 2.3 percent. But because defense and homeland security are set for increases above that amount, the rest of government programs will see outright cuts or tiny gains far below the rate of inflation.

One of the biggest battles is certain to occur in the area of payments and other assistance to farmers, which the administration wants to trim by $587 million in 2006 and by $5.7 billion over the next decade.

Those payments go to farmers growing a wide range of crops from cotton, rice and corn to soybeans and wheat.

The United States and other rich countries have come under criticism for these agriculture subsidies from poor countries. In the current round of global trade talks, these nations are pressing for the subsidies’ elimination.

Other programs set for cuts, the AP has learned, include the Army Corps of Engineers, whose dam and other waterway projects are extremely popular in Congress; the Energy Department; and a number of health programs under the Health and Human Services Department.

people in nursing homes.

In Robeson County, for example, Medicaid brings in $195 million a year.

“Medicaid is bigger than textiles; it’s bigger than tobacco; it’s a huge part of our economy,” said Adam Searing of the N.C. Justice Center’s Health Access Coalition.

North Carolina’s members of Congress so far have focused on Social Security, not Medicaid, saying they want to see specifically what the president offers.

Fix drainage, slick walkways

Every

time it rains, puddles form all across campus. In front of the Bryan Center and in front of Alpine Bagels for example it becomes impossible to walk without trudging through an inch or two of water.

In addition to the puddles of standing water, the slate walkways on West Campus become extremely slippery and dangerous.

Although fixing the drainage problem is not atop the University’s to-do list, and the University obviously has more important issues to address, it is something that deserves attention. There are stop-gap measures the University can take to make navigating campus during a rainstorm easier while working to fix the problem in the long-term.

As unattractive as it may be, simply laying wooden boards over some of the walkways where large puddles tend to form would make it easier for

Est. 1905

to walk without getting their shoes and socks soaked.

Also, as the University continues with construction projects, it should consider what will happen when it rains. Sidewalks should be designed in such away that puddles are minimized, or at least diverted to less obtrusive places. The major problem with the lack of drainage isn’t that puddles form but that large puddles form in inconvenient locations.

The University should also keep in mind how dangerous the slate sidewalks become when they are wet.

The slate is aesthetically pleasing and fits in well with the architecture of West Campus; however beauty should never come at the expense of student safety.

Perhaps in the future, the University should build sidewalks with a material that is easier to walk on in the rain.

RCs’ jobs are largely centered around intellectual life and community development—not behavioral control—before Philip Kurian is a Trinity senior. His column appears Mondays.

WASHINGTON—Asked when he was near death to name things he regretted not doing, Andrew Jackson said: “I didn’t shoot Henry Clay, and I didn’t hang John C. Calhoun.” President George W. Bush, who seems determined to leave office with nothing undone—except, maybe, horsewhipping Harry Reid—vows to transform not only Social Security but the hydra-headed tax code.

He chose wisely when he asked former Sen. Connie Mack, a Florida Republican, to chair the Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform that will make recommendations by July 31. While in the Senate, Mack served on the Finance and Joint Economic committees—and he has lived with Florida’s baroque sales tax.

The executive order establishing the panel lists three objectives for tax reform. The third is to promote economic growth. The second is to achieve fairness. The objective listed first, however, is to simplify the code to reduce compliance costs—including wear and tear on taxpayers’ patience.

Woodrow Wilson, with his obnoxious penchant for drenching everything with moralism, said paying taxes is a “glorious privilege.” Perhaps. But simplicity might make the privilege even more glorious and also might, Mack thinks, get the public interested in reform guest commentary The absence of public clamor for tax reform is partly explained by the fact that federal tax revenues as a percentage of GDP are at the lowest level—16.2 percent since 1959. Perhaps the promise of simplicity—a code “easy to understand,” as the president said Wednesday in his State of the Union address—can stir the interest of taxpayers.

Campaign finance laws are now such a mare’s nest of ill or undefined terms that no candidate can be confident that he or she is not breaking the law. The tax code, too, is like that for many of the 87 percent of tax filers —114 million of them—who do not use the short form. Furthermore, it is offensive that performing the civic duty of paying taxes is so daunting that the percentage of people relying on professional help to perform it is at an all-time high.

Mack, who served three terms in the House and two in the Senate, understands the political class’ metabolic urge to use tax codes to implement social policies and dispense offavors. Consider Mack’s Florida.

It is one of seven states without Satan’s fingerprint—an income tax. But it has a sales tax that raises $18.3 billion annually. That tax wouldraise $26.5 billion were it not for the approximately 440 exemptions that are the reason why only 57 percent of transactions are taxed. Tattooing, body piercing, tanning services and lap dances are not taxed. Neither are ostrich and racehorse feed, although dog and cat feed are taxed.Lawn mowers are taxed but lawn services are not.

Pool services are not but chemicals to clean pools are. Charter fishing boat services are not, fishing rods are.

In the federal tax code, as in Florida’s, almost every wrinkle is there because a muscular interest group got it put there. Other wrinkles, justby existing, have summoned into existence interest groups that have learned how to benefit from them and now will die in the last ditch defending them.Which is why radical reform of the code involves picking one or more fights with almost everyone.

But that is one reason why the fights are worth picking.

Tax simplification would be political reform, reducing the influence of the Washington-based lawyer-lobbyist complex that exists to wrinkle the code. Unfortunately, even rhetorical simplifiers are operational complicators. At last summer’s Republican convention, Bush described the tax code as “a complicated mess—filled with special interest loopholes” and vowed to “simplify” it. Well.

The Weekly Standard’s Andrew Ferguson notes that Bush’s acceptance speech also included a promise to make America “less dependent on foreign sources of energy,” and to provide “opportunity zones” to attract businesses to poor communities. Bush also promised to “give workers the security of insurance against major illness,” to encourage the construction of 7 million “affordable homes” in 10 years and to make it easier for everyone to go to college. Sure as God made little green apples, these promises would, as Ferguson says, involve adorning the tax code with more exemptions, credits and deferrals.

In the great—or so it then seemed—l9B6 turn toward simplification, the reduction of rates was paid for by reducing exemptions and other complexities. However, Congress, having had its fling with simplification, soon reverted to form; Since then the tax code has been amended more than 6,000 times. Such is the tide Mack and his panel must try to turn.
