THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

ONE HUNDREDTH YEAR, ISSUE 101

Central groups present reports After a month of meetings and brainstorming sessions, three subcommittees of the Central Campus Planning Committee have submitted their initial reports on the first phase of the campus’ overhaul for review.

The Housing and Dining, Extra/co-curricular and Recreational Activities, Services and Spaces, and Academic Programs and Spaces subcommittees gave their reports to Provost Peter Lange and Vice President of Campus Services Kernel Dawkins—co-chairs of the main planning committee.

Each subcommittee met periodically over the past few weeks, and only members of the groups were included in discussion. The Community Relations subcommittee will not submit a report until Thursday because it is synthesizing ideas after meeting last week with students and with Durham residents.

Lange would not release official copies of the reports, but members of each subgroup—comprised of administrators, faculty and students—said the documents outline several ideas and general priorities for the steering committee to consider, return to the groups for refinement and ultimately use to prepare plans for a presentation to

The subcommittees based their recommendations on a shared vision*of Central as the final component of a three-part developmental model of Duke’s campus that undergraduates progress through during their four years. Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College and chair of the Academic Programs and Spaces subcommittee, said that while East Campus brings students into the community and West Campus provides more specific academic and social opportunities, Central is meant to be an “outward looking portal to the world” that helps students phase into life after college, both intellectually and socially.

“Central is a space that serves a culminating, integrating and transitioning function,” he said.

Even with this concept in mind, the subcommittees generated few—if any—detailed plans for Central’s future. But Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs and chair of the Housing and Dining subcommittee, said creating set plans in only a month-long time frame was not the aim of the reports.

“The goal of this first phase is to see if the goal we are setting jives with the directions set by the other committees,” he explained.

More than 400 dead in Iran quake by

Nasser Karimi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SARBAGH, Iran Under a cold, driving rain, survivors wailed over the bodies of the dead and dug through the ruins of mud-brick houses searching for their loved ones after a powerful earthquake flattened villages in central Iran Tuesday, killing at least 420 people.

The toll was expected to rise, because rescue teams did not have a final count from the three most isolated villages in the mountainous region. About 30,000 people were,affected, many left homeless when some villages were reduced to piles of dirt and stone by the magnitude-6.4 earthquake. The num-

her of injured was estimated at 900.

“Where have you gone? I had a lot of plans for you,” Hossein Golestani sang softly as he held the lifeless form of his 7-yearold daughter, Fatima. The body of his 8year-old daughter, Mariam, lay beside him in the devastated village ofHotkan.

Golestani and his wife were out tending their herd of goats when the quake struck at 5:55 a.m., wrecking their home.

Other survivors slapped their faces in grief as they sat next to the dead, who were wrapped in blankets in hospital morgues or on roadsides.

Some 40 villages were damaged in the quake, which struck a region 150 miles

from Bam, site of a devastating earthquake in December 2003 that killed 26,000 people and leveled the historic city.

At dusk, temperatures fell and rain turned to snow in parts of the mountains, and survivors huddled around fires to keep warm, covering themselves in blankets and sipping hot soup. Some 1,500 workers from the Iranian Red Crescent fanned out in teams, bringing tents and tarps.

Heavy rain and bad visibility hampered relief efforts. But Mohammad Javad Fadaei, deputy governor of Kerman province, said the search would continue SEE

Bush warns against lifting embargo by

Terence Hunt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS, Belgium President George W. Bush and European leaders settled simmering differences about Iraq but plunged into a troublesome new dispute Tuesday over the lifting of an arms embargo against China. Bush warned Congress might retaliate if Europe revokes the 15-year ban.

Bush said lifting the embargo, imposed after the bloody 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy activists, “would change the balance of relations between China and Taiwan and that’s of concern.” But French President Jacques

Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said the ban should go. “It will happen,” Schroeder said.

The China quarrel was ajarring note on an otherwise upbeat day of reconciliation, handshakes and hopes for better relations.

“First time I’ve been called charming in a while,” Bush said after a NATO summit.

He also met with leaders of the 25-nation European Union. “Europe and America have reconnected,” EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said afterward, Bush at his side, at a news conference.

In a show of unity after bitter disuptes, all 26 NATO countries pledged money,

equipment or personnel to train Iraqi security forces, though many of the pledges were modest.

Estonia said it would send one staff officer to Iraq, and $65,000. France offered one officer to help mission coordination at NATO headquarters, said it would train 1,500 Iraqi military police in Qatar outside NATO’s mission.

Magazine airs Asian perspectives Faculty strive to balance by

Gabriel Chen

THE CHRONICLE

Disgruntled by the lack of a distinct Asian voice on campus, senior Isaac Chan decided to start a student-run magazine that would give Asians at Duke a forum for political and creative expression.

Beginning with no financial resources, Chan approached various deans and organizations to raise $2,200 for Yellow Pages, which at first publication had a circulation of 1,200. The free publication, which will be distributed at the Asian Students Association’s Lunar NewYear Celebration Saturday, showcases Asian expressive talent through poetry, feature articles, creative writing and book reviews. The first issue addressed a wide variety of topics including “An Asian American Woman’s Perception ofNew York City” and “The Challenges of Interracial Dating.”

[Yellow Pages] was created to serve as a collaborative medium to allow our voices to be heard,” said Chan, editor-in-chief of the magazine. “Our goal is to foster mutual dialogue and promote a greater understanding and reconciliation between the Asian community and the rest of the Duke community.”

Sophomore Peter Moon, who contributed a letter to the editor to the magazine, said he saw the need for Asian Americans to have a venue for personal expression and community dialogue.

“I am part of a community that I cannot deny, and I feel that it is my obligation to see, and even correct, how we Asian Americans are portrayed at Duke,” Moon said.

“My identity gives me a duty to be vigilant about what is being shown of my kin.”

At first, Chan found it difficult to find donors who saw the need for the magazine’s existence. Despite receiving many rejections, Chan continued to solicit funds for more than three weeks and said he never thought about giving up. “I was initially very nervous. I went up personally to all the groups I could think of and showed them our colored printouts. We did not even have a cover page,” Chan said. “I called up a dean and his secretary asked me, ‘Are you asking for money?’ I said Tes.’ She was forthright and said, ‘This is not the right person you should be talking to.’”

During that time, however, Chan met with some administrators and campus groups—deans, the Multicultural Center, the Kenan Institute for Ethics and Grace’s Cafe—who shared his vision for the publication and wanted to support the initiative.

Julian Sanchez, director of the Office of Intercultural Affairs, contributed $2OO on behalf of the Multicultural Center to fund the magazine. “Isaac’s funding proposal, as presented, seemed very worthy of this kind of support.

Senior Isaac Chan is the creator ofYellow Pages magazine, which promotes Asian literaryexpression.

It’s always a pleasure to support these types of student ventures when we can, especially those that help fill a particular niche,” Sanchez said. “[Yellow Pages] holds great potential. I truly hope it sustains itself.”

Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs, said she contributed “a small but meaningful amount” because she found Chan’s idea to be “so fresh and compelling.” “It’s very unusual for me to provide funds to students or student groups for projects. Funds in Student Affairs have basically been pooled into the University fund and we direct students there to request support,” Wasiolek said. “It’s important for the Duke community that I wanted to make certain that [Chan’s idea] did not fail because it lacked funding.”

Chan eventually hopes to take Yellow Pages to the national level. His vision is to have the magazine represent Asian Americans’ expression in the Southeast region by partnering with other campus and regional racial groups to better understand how to bring about more discussion. Some students who have read the publication see the unique and creative oudet for Asian Americans and others on campus it provides.

[Yellow Pages is] a type of literary work that students do not often see on campus,” senior Samira Abughazaleh said. “I mostly enjoyed the ‘Heard around Campus’ and poems section. I really appreciated the eclectic mix of literary pieces submitted. There seems to be something for everyone.” “

Faculty members have plenty on their plates—fitting in research, teaching and administrative duties is a challenge. Still, Duke professors are achieving a balance.

Excellent scholarship is vital to an academic career, but at Duke, teaching is also highly valued, said George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences.

An academic who does not care about teaching, McLendon said, “should be at someplace besides Duke—Harvard, for example.” In his opinion, the issue is not “teaching versus research,” because both are important and complement each other.

For some of the University’s best teachers, educating and researching go hand in hand. Alvin Crumbliss, a chemistry professor and recipient of the 2004 David and Janet Vaughn Brooks Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award, said the two components make up roughly equal shares of his work, depending on the time ofyear.

“It’s also hard to make the distinction often between teaching and research,” Crumbliss said, citing time spent with students in the lab as an example of potential overlap.

McLendon remarked that some of the qualities that make an academic a good researcher can also contribute to success in other areas.

“Many of the best scholars are also excellent teachers, [and] are also willing to take on additional service roles broadly in the University,” McLendon said.

Nevertheless, faculty must make choices. Since research weighs so heavily in the tenure process, the students themselves are the main motivation for putting SEE FACULTY ON PAGE 7

I'iWMHliim Duke study calls for more HIV testing Flu virus may kill millions

A bird flu virus may mutate to a human form that becomes as deadly as the ones that killed millions during three influenza pandemics of the 20th century. Dr. Julie Gerberding, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday that scientists believe it is highly likely that the virus that has swept through bird populations in Asia will evolve into a pathogen deadly for humans.

AIDS vaccine funds drying up U.S.funding for AIDS vaccine research is tightening, the government's top HIV expert warned Monday. After years of record budget increases in the 19905, NIH next year expects its total budget to increase just half a percent.

But anti-smoking advocates say money for such campaigns is drying up. The American Legacy Foundation's "truth" campaign prevented about 300,000 youths from becoming smokers between 2000 and 2002.

Duke researchers have concluded from a cost-effective analysis that more people should be tested for HIV tesdng than national guidelines currendy suggest.

In a joint venture between Duke University Medical Center and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Heath Care System, researchers suggested patients who are in low-risk groups for HIV should be routinely tested in settings such as outpatient clinics, urgent care clinics or emergency rooms. Researchers said that testing for HIV in low-risk populations—and warning individuals that test positive —should slow the spread of the disease.

Both Gillian Sanders, lead author of the study and associate professor in the Department of Medicine, and David Montefiori, research professor in the center for AIDS research in the Department of Surgery, stressed that HIV is now considered a chronic viral infection and early diagnosis and treatment could reduce transmissions, inspire people to change behaviors and improve the quality of life for those infected.

“If you knew you were infected and were putting your partner at risk, you are likely to curb sex activity or change activity,” Mbntefiori said. “[Prior knowledge] will most likely slow the spread of HIV because of heightened awareness of people who were infected.”

Kathryn Whetten, director of the Center for Health Policy and

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Experts encouraged HIV testing for a larger percentage of the population in a pair of recent studies.

Law and Management at the Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy, said doctors at Duke University Hospital can recommend HIV testing to patients but patients have to voluntarily submit to the procedure.

“When you go to a doctor, you should be tested for HIV,” she said. “It should be routine.”

Previous cost-effective studies were completed before the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy—a treatment that blocks the replication of HIV genes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that routine testing is cost effective in areas where there is at least a 1-percent prevalence rate

of disease. But recent studies such as this one have found that there are clear community-wide benefits even in areas of lower prevalence. While Sanders’ study will have no immediate effect on hospital or national policies, she hopes this will increase dialogue so changes can be made.

“The CDC is looking at our study and a second study and looking at their guidelines,” Sanders said. “We hope that policy makers will reopen the discussion at who they will be screening and that physicians not only look for the normal risk behaviors but others.”

The study focused on pa-

dents that were unaware of their infection status when entering healthcare clinics. By weighing the cost effectiveness and increased quality-of-life benefits reaped if treatments start earlier in the disease progression, researchers concluded that there was a clear benefit for increased screening.

Other Duke officials agree.

Whetten said HIV testing should be more widespread, particularly in the South where the disease is prevalent mosdy in heterosexuals.

Amtrak train pins woman in Raleigh THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH A woman was struck by an Amtrak passenger train and briefly pinned beneath it Tuesday as waiting passengers at the nearby station watched.

The 41-year-old woman was conscious and breathing when she was removed from beneath the train, but authorities gave no additional details on her condition and did not release her name.

It took rescuers about 45 minutes to free her.

Police were sorting through conflicting statements from witnesses as they tried to sort out what happened, Lt. R.B. Embry said.

The woman was struck about 20 yards from the station as the northbound Carolinian arrived at about 12:20 p.m.

One witness, Martha Kelder, said the woman walked slowly toward the train as it approached, stepped onto the tracks and turned her back to the train. It struck her and then came to a stop.

“I wondered why she was up so close to the train,” Kelder said.

FACULTY from page 3 extra effort into teaching,

ex-

plained Barak Richman, assistant i professor of law.

“It takes a significant amount of time to be a good teacher. It takes a lot more time to be a very good teacher,” Richman said. He said that although he certainly wanted to be a “respected scholar,” he appreciated the “real emphasis on teaching” at the School ofLaw. In some areas of the University, however, faculty divide their work quite differently. Joseph Heitman, James B. Duke professor ofmolecular genetics and microbiology, said he devotes about 75 to 80 percent of his time to research, a condition of his appointment at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Heitman stressed the impact professors can have outside of the classroom, which he said is particularly vital at the graduate level.

Most of his contact with undergraduates takes place in a research setting, he explained, and he spends only about 24 hours a year in the front of a class of medical or graduate students.

“I have as much contact time as I need,” Heitman said. “For every hour, there’s four hours at a minimum out-of-class preparation time.”

Time management presents distinct challenges for junior faculty because of the structure of the tenure process, McLendon acknowledged. He said the University encourages them to spend less time on other types of service, helping them to strike the right balance.

“[Junior faculty] get a leave during the time that they’re untenured,” said Wesley Kort, chair of the department ofreligion. “The situation is really quite favorable.”

A competitive leave policy for faculty in their fourth year after earn-

ing tenure continues this support.

“There are a variety of ways that Duke encourages coupling teaching and research,” McLendon said.

“Duke actually has a remarkable record of promotion to tenure, higher than many other places.”

Faculty were quick to point out that they have other responsibilities as well.

“It’s not just teaching and research, though. It’s a lot more complicated than that,” said Grant Wacker, a professor of church history in the Divinity School. “We spend at least a third of our time... doing things that can’t be seen by the outside world.”

Assuming an administrative post can be an especially great commitment for faculty.

“It’s difficult to be chair and maintain your research pace and to do all the teaching,” Kort said.

“I remember walking down the hall and thinking to myself, ‘I can’t do all of this.’”

On the other hand, this compromise is not so hard to find for a few professors, including Steven Schwarcz, Stanley A. Star professor of law and business. He spent decades working in the business world before becoming a professor.

“Being a full-time academic is like being on vacation all the time, compared to being on Wall Street,” Schwarcz declared.

CENTRAL from page 1 Some of the principles presented in the Housing and Dining subcommittee’s report include finding a balance between intimate dining spaces and more communal venues as well as establishing eateries that will attract students, members of the Medical Center and off-campus residents. But Moneta said the key priority outlined in the report is the degree to which residential privatization will be available to students living on Central.

While the subcommittee did not offer specific details about the sort of architecture or design the residential spaces should have, Moneta said the group envisions Central as having “transitional housing” for upperclassmen that is more akin to a “real, adult” living arrangement than typical dormitories.

“It should be more equivalent to what students would find living off campus but

Jean Hanson, administrative director for Student Health, agreed increased screening would be beneficial. Hanson said in the last academic year, 407 students were tested for HIV. Student Health clinicians have identified five HIV-positive cases since testing began at Duke in the late 1980s.

But she said Student Health was unaware of the true prevalence of HIV in

Jim Roberts, executive vice provost and chair of the Extra/co-curricular and Recreational Activities, Spaces and Programs subcommittee, said his subgroup presented three clusters of “big ideas” in its report that would help establish Central as more than a “bedroom community” while simultaneously respecting what is unique about the other two campuses. The clusters are flexible modules and the ideas within them could cross-combine—or even be eliminated—depending on how they fit in with the other subcommittees’ findings, Roberts explained.

The first cluster is a combination of an alumni center, visitors’ center and career center “all under one roof or under several roofs,” Roberts said. The second includes a bookstore, performance venues and facilities for student arts and media groups, possibly including The Chronicle and WXDU radio. The third is a collection of outdoor the Duke student population “We don’t know if we have real Duke data,” she said. “We have no evidence.

We just have to wonder how it can be occurring all around you and have no problem here.”

Hanson said since Duke is primarily comprised of out-of-state students, students could be tested at home and the data would never reach Student Health.

She also said HIV testing is part of a standard sexually transmitted disease testing package students can request.

“There are some students that feel that if they think they should be tested, we are judging their lifestyles or behaviors. That’s not what we are about,” Hanson said. “Bottom line: It’s about students’ welfare.”

recreational locations, including a walking trail and pond or lake, that would take advantage of the green space on Central.

Roberts said the subcommittee also highlighted the need for increased graduate student interaction on the campus, both with other graduates and undergraduates. He said the group considered the creation of a graduate student center in combination with other meeting and gathering spaces, a bursar’s and registrar’s office, parking services and banking services.

The subgroup also suggested placing a bar on the campus, potentially in or near the bookstore. Roberts said a bar would encourage “cross-generational” interaction among members of the University and Durham communities.

“Our model wasn’t... the ‘sports bar’ but the place to engage in conversation over a glass of wine or beer after browsing at the bookstore,” he said.

Thompson said the Academic Programs and Spaces subcommitteealso con-

sidered which aspects—or “magnets”—of Central could create opportunities for members of the University to “interface” intellectually. The magnets oudined by the committee include international, interdisciplinary, artistic and interactive programs and spaces.

Thompson said the subcommittee suggested building conference rooms, film, video and theater facilities and “breakout” rooms within or near residential spaces. It also considered moving the study abroad and visa offices, the international house and career center—or aspects of each—to Central to serve as resources for students looking off campus for continuing education and intellectual opportunities.

“We want experiential-based learning that occurs in the context of personal, small groups,” Thompson said.

Many Europeans also are nervous about a possible U.S. strike against Iran to stop its suspected nuclear weapons program, and Bush gave mixed signals about American intentions.

“This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous,” the president said with a slight smile. “Having said that, all options are on the table.” He made a similar statement last week, saying a president never says never about military action.

cheerocracy I love myjob at The Chronicle because I get to travel. That’s the big perk.

I tolerate all the long hours I put in so I can go to other ACC venues, see how other schools embrace the world ofNCAA athletics and observe how our school compares with the other institutions of our venerable conference.

From College Park, Md., to Miami, Fla., I have come upon only one, across-theboard, incontrovertible fact.

Our cheerleaders suck.

Okay, maybe suck isn’t the right word.

Gosh dam it, our cheerleaders work just as hard as any varsity athlete and receive almost none of the perks.

But no matter how much time they dedicate to their squad, the Duke cheerleaders will never be able to compare with their ACC colleagues because they lack one thing: dudes.

Dude cheerleaders make all the difference. When they’re not yelling through antique megaphones and modeling multi-colored trousers, male cheerleaders are the foundation for the aerial stunts that can make cheerleading downright spectacular.

So why is the John Q. Dukey missing out on the opportunity to see a cheerleader thrown 20 feet into the air?

To get to the bottom of this mystery, I called Cheerleading Director Teresa Ward. I received a quick schooling in Duke Cheerleading 101.

The Duke ban on stunting (any aerial cheerleading move that requires the use of a partner) can be traced back to a 1978 incident at Wallace Wade Stadium, when Georgia Tech cheerleader Duane Sanders broke his neck jumping off a mini-trampoline. Ward and current Athletic Director Joe Alieva were both present at that game.

That tragedy, along with numerous other accidents, provoked then-AD. Tom Butters to ground the program. Seven years ago, Alieva and Ward re-evaluated the decision, but the ban on stunts continued.

“I watched a Georgia Tech cheerleader break [his] neck and I am never, ever going to let that happen here,” Alieva told The Chronicle in 1998.

At this point in the conversation my “double standard” alarms started lighting up like a fireworks display.

Football players tackle head-first and can break their necks. Baseball players are struck in the head and risk suffering brain damage. Just last year Cornell lacrosse player George Boiardi was struck in the chest with a lacrosse ball and died.

How could Duke allow all these hazardous sports to continue, but deem stuntSEE CHEER ON PAGE 16

conference rematch?

“As a basketball player it’s actually easier to play a game like [those] than a game against a pushover,” forward Lee Melchionni said. “The ACC’s so tough, so every night’s going to be a fight.”

Tonight’s game poses yet another unique challenge for No. 7 Duke (19-4, 9-4 in the ACC) as the team travels to Atlanta to play Georgia Tech (15-8, 6-6) at 7 p.m.

The Yellow Jackets have underachieved this season after advancing to last season’s

The feeling is a familiar one. It’s late at night and you’re talking on Instant Messenger. A girl you like is also online, but you’re too nervous and you’re hoping she’ll initiate the conversation.

But instead of being an awkward highschooler teenager desiring the girl for romantic reasons, you’re a high-powered coach at one of the nation’s top basketball programs, hoping to lure a female athlete to play at your school.

For many college basketball coaches across the country, and especially in the women’s basketball program at Duke, new technologies including Instant Messenger have transformed the recruiting process into a high-tech, around-theclock operation.

“Recruiting is 24-hours-a-day now,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said.

“Text messaging, instant messaging—all of us coaches are online with recruits every single day.”

The Blue Devil coaching staff has designed a schedule to make sure there is always a coach available to talk to recruits at times when they can be reached.

“At the three o’clock hour it really picks up because the kids get out of school,” first-year Duke assistant coach Shannon Perry said. ‘You’ll see all the names start to pop up. You’re like ‘Okay, here we go.’”

With a coaching staff that includes three assistant coaches, Duke is able to stay years ahead—literally—in recruiting.

Perry oversees recruitment the current high school sophomore class, even though NCAA rules prohibit coaches from initiating contact with players before the spring of their junior year. Perry and other coaches must give their contact

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

Paul Hewitt had no idea when he started coaching basketball that he would now have the head job at Georgia Tech—or that he would even be coaching in college at all.

After graduating from St. John Fisher College, Hewitt returned to his former high school and coached the junior varsity basketball team, content to make that his life’s work.

“My original aspirations were high school guidance and high school coaching,” Hewitt said. “I can’t honestly sit here and say that when I coached my first

current

practice at Westbury High School, I envisioned being in the Final Four in 2004.”

Hewitt’s contacts in the college coaching ranks encouraged him to try to become a college assistant. He did as much in 1988 and quickly sped through the coaching hierarchy, landing his first head coaching job at Siena in 1997.

In 2000, Hewitt took over a Georgia Tech program that was coming off back-to-back losing seasons and had not been to the NCAA Tournament in four years. Hewitt led Georgia Tech to a 17-13 record and an at-large tournament bid in his first season and was named ACC Coach of the Year.

“In the NBA, it used to be, growing up, the Knicks vs. the Bullets, the Bucks vs. the Celtics,” Hewitt said. “Now, it’s Shaq vs.

National commentators have criticized Georgia Tech for its 6-6 ACC record, saying the team has failed to play up to its preseason No. 3 ranking. Hewitt has said he does not place too much importance on outside expectations as he realizes the difficulty of the ACC schedule.

“What can happen in this league is that you’re going to play a good basketball game one night and, even at home, you’re going to lose to a very good team,” Hewitt said at the ACC’s preseason Media Day. ‘You have got to keep that in perspective.”

MEN'S GOLF

Blue Devils 'sloppy' on Championship's final day by

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

After two days of strong winds and high scores, the conditions calmed Tuesday in the final round of the Mercedes-Benz Col-

legiate Championship.

The serene weather at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., set up well for low-scoring rounds, but Duke could not take advantage and finished the tournament in 10th place.

“I think we could have won this tournament,” sophomore Jake Grodzinsky said. “But we just wasted a bunch of shots and played very sloppy golf. A combination of a little bad golf and a little bad luck hurt us a lot.”

The llth-ranked Blue Devils ended the weekend with a mediocre final round, shooting two-over while failing to capitalize on their opportunities. No. 9 Ryan Blaum and No. 38 Nathan Smith—the team’s only nationally-ranked players both carded two-over-par rounds.

Blaum putted poorly during his fivebogey round. After parring each ofhis first nine holes, Blaum three-putted four times over the final nine holes. At five over par for the tournament, Blaum finished in a tie for 15th place, dropping from 10th place at the start of the day.

After a weak round Monday, Smith started steadily Tuesday before bogeying his fifth hole and double-bogeying his sixth.

He recovered quickly, however, birdieing three holes on which he had been threeover par through the first two rounds.

“When you’ve got two all-Americans, you’re not going to beat anyone when they both shoot 74’5,” head coach Rod Myers *

—

said of Blaum and Smith. “They played solidly, but double-bogeys killed us. This golf course doesn’t allow you to do that.”

Duke’s supporting cast did its best to compensate for its leaders. Grodzinsky paced Duke, notching the team’s second under-par round of the tournament at one under. He struggled early in the final round before recovering to birdie his last four holes.

“A turnaround like that is big for us,” Myers said. “It showed us that Jake can be a big horse for us. We need some guys to step up who think they can play as well as Ryan and Nate. A few more guys like that and we’ll be tough to beat.”

Freshman Bryce Mueller sprained his wrist Monday but played well Tuesday in spite of the injury, firing a one-over 73.

“Bryce’s performance was really solid,” Blaum said. “Playing on a tough golf course with a nagging injury is not easy. He really showed some heart and stepped it up for the team.”

Junior Alex Wilson had the worst week of any Blue Devil, shooting 22 over par to put him in 82nd place out of 90. He did not record a birdie in his final 25 holes of action. In response, Myers said freshman Michael Quagliano will be in the starting lineup Feb. 27 when the team begins the Puerto Rico Classic.

The only team under par for the day was Florida, the eventual champion, which shot eight under par for the day.

Florida junior Matt Every took the individual championship by one stroke at oneunder par, winning despite a late charge by second-place finisher Tyler Brown of North Florida.

receive byes into the second round, while the bottom six teams will be forced to play Thursday and face the challenge of winning four games in as many days to earn the automatic NCAA bid.

“We still feel like we have a chance to finish in the top five,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. [Defeating Florida State was] an important victory but what we need to do now is to build on the momentum that we gained from that game.”

The Yellow Jacket offense is led by a trio of talented perimeter players, including Elder, sixth man Will Bynum and junior Jarrett Jack. It is Jack who runs the show from the point guard position, leading the team in points per game, minutes played, three-point field-goal percentage, assists per game and steals.

“When they talk about the best players in the country... I know I’m biased, but how can this guy not be mentioned?” Hewitt said. “There’s not a whole lot Jarrett Jack can’t do.”

In the frontcourt, 7-foot Australian Luke Schenscher has been disappointing after last year’s breakout season, but remains a talented passer with good moves around the basket. Forward Isma’il Muhammad is the Yellow Jackets’ best onthe-ball defender and most athletic player, and guard/forward Anthony McHenry provides versatility on the defensive end.

Freshmen Anthony Morrow, Jeremis Smith and Ra’Sean Dickey add youthful depth off the bench. Morrow is a reliable three-point shooter, while Smith and Dickey provide toughness and athleticism inside.

“I think its pretty well known now that when they walk into somebody else’s building the home team feels like ‘This is our chance,”’ Hewitt said. “That’s what I admire about die Duke players, because they have to face that type of intensity and ferocity every game and they go out and win games.”

desperation.

Among the reasons for Georgia Tech’s early struggles was the absence of senior guard/forward BJ. Elder. Before returning from a hamstring injury Feb. 13 against N.C. State, Elder had not played in a single conference game.

The senior sharp-shooter proved Feb. 21 at FloridaState that he was ready to return to his All-ACC form of a year ago. His 22 points included three baskets from behind the arc in the first half and two game-winning free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining.

“They’re a different team with BJ. Elder back,” Melchionni said. “He’s one of the better players in the country and they’re more potent on offense and more confident when he’s playing.”

The return of Elder to the Yellow Jacket starting lineup allowed sixth man Will Bynum to move back to the bench where he can provide instant offense—an option unavailable in the first meeting between the two teams. Though Williams had some success in the teams' prior meeting, recording six blocks while holding Schenscher to just 11 points, the Yellow Jackets outscored Duke 36-25 in the paint.

Georgia Tech enters this game with a .500 record in conference and fighting for its NCAA Tournament life. It is always tough to win on the road in the ACC, but the Blue Devils have won their last eight contests in Atlanta dating back to 1996. Coming off a big home win against the Demon Deacons that snapped a twogame losing streak, the momentum is on Duke's side as the team heads down the home stretch of the ACC schedule, Georgia Tech is a better offensive team with the return of Elder and its defense has been solid all season, but Duke enters the game playing as well as it has all season. If the Blue Devils play as well as they did against Wake Forest, the Yellow Jackets will compiled by Alex Fanaroff have no chance. Duke wins, 86-74.

After scoring 102 points against Wake Forest, expect Duke to have a little more trouble against Georgia Tech's ACC-best scoring defense. Muhammad, the Yellow Jackets' top defender, will most likely shadow Redick, but if the junior guard shoots like he did against the Demon Deacons, no one will be able to stop him. In the teams' previous meeting, the Blue Devils were able to get out and run, scoring 24 points off turnovers.

want to go into it, not basketball for games,” just With the single court in Cameron, the men’s and women’s teams cannot practice simultaneously, and the addition of the two new courts will more than double the available practice space. The new' building will also free up the University’s largest indoor venue for the wrestling and volleyball teams, which also compete in Cameron, and for other events such as concerts.

The teams’ w'eight room and video facilities housed in the 2000 addition are no longer adequate, and the new building will include larger spaces that incorporate new technology. Offices for the Athletic Department and a banquet space for athletics and other departments to hold functions for 200 to 250 people will also be parts of the new addition.

The Athletic Department has secured about half the money for the facility, which will be built between the Hall ofFame concourse and the baseball stadium.

“We’ve needed something like this for a very long period of time,” women’s head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Cameron is a wonderful place to play. It’s not the best

“The young kids, like the sophomores and younger, we can’t IM them first. You just hope,” Perry said. “Some of them it’s like ‘please say something.’ You watch them sign on and sign off. And then there are some recruits that you sign on and you’re like ‘Ugh, they caught me.’”

Over the years, recruidng has evolved into a complex system of coaches visiting players, making phone calls and writing letters. There are stringent regulations on the number of times a school can contact a potential recruit, including limits on the frequency of phone calls.

“I know that when I was graduating IM was just beginning, so I never really got that,” current junior forward Mistie Williams said. “It was mosdy just a phone

practice facility became we don’t have many baskets, so when we want to do shooting drills it’s almost impossible.”

The decision to go ahead with the

building comes only eight months after Krzyzewski turned down the Lakers and at a time when many peer athletic programs are constructing new facilities and arenas.

Duke has invested in numerous new facilities and upgrades in the past several years, including the Yoh Football Center, but since the construction of Schwartz-Butters, it has focused on Duke’s other sports.

“There is no question that across the country there has been an ‘arms race’ in buildings and facilities,” Alieva said. “If you just look in our conference—Maryland has built a new basketball arena, Virginia is building a new basketball arena, Carolina has a big one that they’ve had—and they probably started the whole thing.”

The building will also help Krzyzewski encourage his former players to return to campus to work out during the summer as NBA star Mike Dunleavy did in 2004 and others have in the past.

“It is important for us to get those guys back because they bring back the culture of Duke Basketball,” Alieva said. “They are key in keeping the culture and tradition going.”

call a week, letters, that’s all.”

But for four top-25 recruits Duke signed in November, including New York forward Carrem Gay, these new technologies played an important part in the recruiting process.

“It definitely has improved communication because it’s free and you can get more information that way,” Gay said.

“The Internet is open 24/7. Usually when I’m on one of the coaches, like coach [LaVonda] Wagner, is on too.”

Coaches around the ACC disagree on the merits of high-tech communication.

North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell regretted the diminishing “personal touch.”

Other coaches, such as Maryland head coach Brenda Frese, believe that although there may be some inequities associated with the process, it can provide more avenue for information.

letes,” Frese said. “That’s how they communicate.”

Electronic recruiting has yet to come under the full jurisdiction of the NCAA. It is on the docket for discussion this spring because the process has become more difficult for smaller coaching staffs.

“I think it gives a huge advantage to the schools that can afford it,” Goestenkors said. ‘You need the staff available to sit online and talk to these players.”

The NCAA will vote on legislation that could ban some or all electronic communication used during recruiting this spring. Goestenkors said although Duke has the resources to use technology to its advantages, she is in favor of banning its use because of inequities.

Until the NCAA begins to regulate, though, coaches will continue to sit by their computers, waiting for that “ping,” as Goestenkors described it, hoping for a chance to edge in on bringing that girl to Duke.

ing “too dangerous?”

Ward’s response to my indignation was less than satisfying.

“What I continue to hear is that cheerleading can support their team without pyramids,” she said.

I wasn’t quite satisfied. I started to look into Just how dangerous stunting can be. A 1999 study at UNC-Chapel Hill discovered that cheerleading was the No. 1 cause of fatalitiesfor female athletes from 1982 to 1997.

With my interest piqued, I went to the cheerleaders themselves to gauge their opinions. I figured that they would surely welcome the opportunity to lash out at The Man who was stifling their creativity.

I ambushed sophomore Christie DeMason and senior Christie Regula and received surprisingly mixed reactions.

“I’m not too up on it,” Regula said of stunting. “More schools are banning it. It’s becoming a bigger issue.”

So where do we go from here? Although I feel the student body as a whole would like to see the return of male cheerleaders, we are faced with an administration that is staunchly against stunting, a long history of injuries to cheerleaders and a squad that feels that they can perform perfectly well without it.

I propose a three-step program.

Step 1. Put out a casting call and find guys to wear the silly pants, jump up and down and yell into the giant megaphones.

Finding volunteers shouldn’t be too hard, as this job description isn’t too far removed from that of the average Cameron Crazy.

We had male cheerleaders of this caliber as recently as 1997, when a quartet ofROTC members cheered at Duke football games.

Step 2. Teach the dudes to lift and hold a cheerleader up in the air, so she can shake her pompoms seven feet up, much to the delight of the Duke faithful. To me, this seems like a low risk maneuver—l think all of us have survived a seven-foot, feet-first fall at some point in our lives.

Step 3. Everything else. This is the step where you recruit guys to do all the crazy flips you see at a legitimate football school.

So my message to Mr. Alieva and Ms. Ward is this: give my plan a try. If Step 3 is too scary, you can stay at Step 2 forever, and I don’t think anyone would complain.

Graham,

These fiscal conservatives want to make the program sustainable. Perhaps the benefits should be limited to those earning up to 200 percent of the level at the poverty line, Perhaps the costs should be capped at $4OO billion through other benefit adjustments, These ideas are akin to what the candidate George W. Bush proposed in 2000.

But the White House is threatening to veto anything they do!

iDealism “...The mission of Duke University is... to advance the frontiers ofknowledge and contribute boldly to the international community of scholarship.;, to provide wide ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses, for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners using the power ofinformation technologies...”

Excerpt from The Mission ofDuke University A program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is changing the world. So far, the University has published over 900 courses from 33 departments, including tests, problem sets, syllabi, course notes and video lectures on the Internet, free and available to anyone with a computer to access as part of its “OpenCourseWare” initiative: http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html It is easily the best thing to happen for information since the discovery of the movabletype printing press. Yet Duke, its ambitious mission statement notwithstanding, appears more concerned with undergraduate nymphets spreading baby oil on each other than with the spread of knowledge. matt Providing “free, searchable, access to MlT’s course materials for educators, students, and self-leamers around the world,” OCW allows people from Borneo to Baghdad to watch eccentric professors literally stake their lives on the principle of energy conservation (using a wrecking ball released from a fixed height on the other side of the room) without paying a dime.

The ultimate motivation for this project is global progress. Underlying the process of making knowledge freely available is the assumption that it not only increases the pool of prospective innovators, but also improves the quality of the knowledge itself. It is an illustration of the belief that humanity’s slow journey toward truth is best served through exhibitionism and criticism. As Socrates rightly saw, knowledge is virtue, and its spread more often than not leads to individual and collective betterment.

The comments from users of OCW around the world posted on MlT’s website speak for themselves: “Thank you very much for OpenCourseWare! This is a wonderful initiative, something I’ve been dreaming about!

It gives great opportunities for studying new things and improving my current education. Commercial distance education is too expensive for people in the country where I live,

but what you did make: quality education really available.

Thank you especially for the video lectures and courses that have study materials... And having those in both text and video would be beyond dreams. Thank you, thank you, thank you again!”

Azerbaijan “The OCW initiative has again proved that MIT is the leader when it comes to creating and disseminating the knowledge. Sitting at home I could I could enrich my knowledge in ‘n’ number of fields thanks to the superb, userfriendly notes prepared by MIT professors and students. I am in the field of physics and was keen to delve into the domain offinance and management. Sloan’s courses on OCW helped me a lot not only to build the fundamentals but also to get a deeper insight into various aspects offinance.”

Iran “The MIT OCW program is a generous and far-sighted initiative that will do more to change the world for the better than a thousand Iraq-style invasions. It does much to restore my faith in the enlightenment of the American people and their great experigillum ment in democracy. This program should veritas be emulated by every university worthy of the name.”

Leigh Pascoe, self-leamer in Paris, France But MIT cannot single-handedly fight poverty, ignorance and fundamentalism. The OCW mission statement contains a plea for help from other universities: “The hope is that one day, by sharing MlT’s course materials, along with our experience thus far in developing the MIT OCW publication process, we will inspire other institutions to openly share their course materials, creating a worldwide web of knowledge that will benefit humanity.”

James B. Duke would have been ecstatic to hear of OCW; he would have had our courses online without delay.

In his founding Indenture of the University, he advocated pursuits that would “most help to develop our resources, increase our wisdom, and promote human happiness.”

The question now is whether or not our current leaders will be faithful to his heroic mission, or if they will allow this institution to slide even farther into the corporate morass.

Dr. Brodhead, your choice for the future is clear: iPods or iDealism?

The Summers our

discontent

Three weeks ago, I thought it was over.

On Jan. 21 of this year, Harvard President Lawrence Summers publicly apologized for making comments during a private meeting in which he voiced the belief that innate differences might account for a significant amount of the discrepancy in numbers between highlevel men and women in science and engineering fields among top universities in the United States. In the wake of his remarks, prominent alumni announced their cancellation of donations to the University, professors declared themselves “alienated and demoralized” and community leaders began to discuss methods of forcing the president’s resignation.

The great problem was that only second-hand accounts existed of what Summers actually said.

That difficulty has been remedied. Last week, facing increasing pressure from the senselessly vicious world of academia, Summers released a transcript of his remarks.

It turns out that what Stsummers sanid—thioug!h it was couched in a plethora of already defensive admissions that he might be wrong and that his role was to generate intellectual debate and encourage topical research—corrobjohn miller orates all the rumors Larry Summers had the the grindstone gall to suggest that men and women might have biological differences that extend beyond the ones that have kept Railroad XX Video alive and well for so many years.

This suggestion is by no means revolutionary. In fact, The New York Times reported two years ago that, from a genetic standpoint, men and women are as differentfrom one another as men are from male chimpanzees. Furthermore, we know that the brains of men and women differ both physically and functionally. Men seem to think in a much more compartmentalized fashion, with certain regions of the brain processing certain kinds of data. Women, on the other hand, appear to process information more bilaterally, using both hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.

Does this mean that one method of cognitive processing is better than the other? Not at all. In fact, studies of higher linguistic processes in men and women indicate that while divergent neuronal pathways are employed by each gender, men and women seem to perform equally quickly and accurately on the tasks assigned.

Are these differences in physiology purely biological in origin? It’s hard to say. While some cultural conditioning could conceivably have an effect on these neural developments, biology seems to play a pretty important role. I have a hunch that the statistical and anecdotal differences between men and male chimpanzees cannot be attributed solely to different patterns of socialization.

Likewise, I’m going to disagree with the anthropological wet dreams of complete biological equality and say that, well, men and women are different—our genes show it and our bodies show it.

Given the evidence that men and women are different (as any pre-schooler could tell you), it seems only natural that an intelligent person would not entirely rule out the prospect that these differences may affect individual’s career decisions. Yet Harvard is in an uproar, and the man who dared to vocalize a rather obvious hypothesis has been forced to apologize endlessly while he struggles to keep his job and his reputation intact.

The only thing Larry Summers should have apologized for was his tragic misreading of his audience. As Summers explained in his original speech, he took a controversial stance to stimulate his audience of academics to engage in further research and discussion. But apparently academics prefer fomenting revolt to seeking answers that might challenge the fundamental assumptions of their increasingly convergent world views.

If anything, this entire episode gives the lie to the old myth that universities represent open forums where proposals may be debated, tested and resolved in a fair and reasonable manner. Instead, college—like the “real world” for which it prepares its students—consists of a repulsive power struggle among special interest groups who want the world to be the way they think it should be, reality be damned.
