Visit Russ Ferguson’s website and one will be greeted by the pulsating rhythm of ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” and the promise of a better, student-centered and innovative Duke community.

With just a few more clicks, the candidate’s extensive platform and indicators ofhis wealth of experience in all three major bodies on campus—Duke Student Government, Campus Council and the Duke University Union—in addition to various other areas of the University is readily available.

“I hope I’m recognized on campus as someone who gets things done,” Ferguson said.

Ferguson’s philosophy behind this approach is that “ifyou’re required to live on campus for three years, it becomes very much a part of your life.” Thus, campus life needs to be made “easier” for students—a process he hopes to initiate as the next president of DSC. His top priorities are blanketing the campus with wireless access, creating an independent course evaluation site, opening key campus venues —the Bryan Center, gyms, library and student health services—24 hours a day and establishing an independent student committee to meet with the Duke University Police De-

8.7 earthquake rattles Indonesia by

Michael Casey

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A powerful earthquake struck off Indonesia’s west coast late Monday, killing hundreds of people whose homes collapsed on them and spreading panic across the Indian Ocean that another killer tsunami was on the way. Indonesia’s vice president predicted up to 2,000 deaths.

But fears of a second tsunami catastrophe in just over three months eased within hours, as officials in countries at risk reported their coasts clear of the type of quake-spawned waves that ravaged a dozen countries in Asia and Africa on Dec. 26.

Almost all the deaths reported in the

hours immediately after Monday’s quake were on Indonesia’s Nias island, off Sumatra island’s west coast and close to the epicenter. Police were pulling children’s bodies out of the rubble of collapsed houses, and a fire was reportedly raging in one town.

The MISNA missionary news agency in Rome, Italy, reported that a huge fire was raging early Tuesday in Gunungsitoli.

The United States is pouring $B3 million into upgrading its main military bases in Afghanistan, an Air Force general said Monday in a sign that American forces will likely be needed in the country for years to come as al-Qaeda remains active in the region.

As EVP, Goodwin seeks to streamline Senate by

Durham paves way for living wage in N.C.

Holley Horrei.i THE CHRONICLE

by

Even though Brandon Goodwin calls Duke Student Government executive vice president the “policy dork” of the organization, he is excited to potentially take on that moniker.

Goodwin, a junior, is running unopposed for the position and has served two years as a DSG senator and was Class of 2006 vice president last year. He currently serves as DSG vice president of student affairs. As executive vice president, Goodwin would primarily set the agenda for and lead DSG meetings.

“I think he truly understands what the role comprises,” said Andrew Wisnewski, senior and current executive vice president.

“He’ll do an excellentjob of energizing and motivating the next group ofexecutives.”

This year Goodwin wrote 10 pieces of legislation, more than half of the total DSG resolutions proposed. In March, Goodwin suggested exempting first-time offenders of the alcohol policy from disciplinary action. Currently students may be deterred from seeking medical assistance if they know they are going to be punished, he said.

The resolution has been endorsed by Stephen Bryan, associate dean for student development, and will likely become part of next year’s alcohol policy, Goodwin said.

Goodwin said he plans to improve the current process of event registration, which has two different forms and leads to spaces becoming overbooked. Goodwin has already worked this year to create a single form and said he envisions an online event registration system in the future.

“We need to push for a more universal way to register for events,” he said.

Goodwin said he also plans to reform the security fund, a budget that provides funds for two mandatory security guards at evening on-campus events. He said the budget often runs out—as it already has this year—and places the burden of hiring security on the organization planning the

Goodwin said the administration should put safety first by guaranteeing to pay for guards at all the events.

In addition, he said he hopes to resolve the Central Campus quiet hours dilemma. Currently Central students have 24-hour noise restrictions while students on East and West campuses can be loud until 2 a.m. on weekends.

“It’s time to stop skirting the issue and approach a malleable sense of policy,” Goodwin said.

Reforming DSG is another goal for Goodwin. He proposes downsizing the organization, noting the success of this year’s smaller legislative body. He points out that several appointed DSG cabinet positions —such as secretary and public relations director—have overlapping responsibilities and could be formed into one role. event.

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

Many officials and community groups across North Carolina say that instituting a living wage—an hourly pay rate that supports a minimally comfortable quality of life—would greatly ease the struggles of the state’s working poor. But business interest groups and skeptical economists have stalled the efforts of most living wage supporters—except in Durham County.

As the only municipal governments that have implemented living wage ordinances in North Carolina, the City of Durham and Durham County have led the way in turning a living wage into a reality for the state’s working poor.

In June 2004, the Durham County Board of Commissioners set the county’s living wage at $9.74 per hour—about 7.5 percent above the federal poverty level for a family of four. All direct employees of the county and those working on longand short-term county service contracts benefited from the wage hike. The City of Durham’s living wage is $9.50 per hour.

In addition to addressing complaints that individuals earning minimum wage cannot adequately support a family, a living wage aids in the recruitment and retention of quality workers, Durham City Council member Eugene Brown said.

“I just think that the minimum wage unfortunately has become ajoke. It’s simply not adequate, especially not for a family of four,” Brown said. “By paying a decent wage, that’s one factor in helping to attract and retain good employees.”

Several factors make the Durham area primed for a living wage, said Donald Nonini, a Durham resident and professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who has investigated both sides of the living wage debate.

Nonini said the area may have been more ready than other communities for a living wage because Durham’s large black population—which has a history of being

politically active—represents a large portion of the county’s working poor.

“There is a kind of political presence of African Americans in Durham that makes Durham a more likely place of organization,” Nonini said.

Supporters of a living wage are now hoping other local governments will follow Durham’s lead.

Some officials and workers’ rights groups in other parts of the state have tried to emulate Durham by making a determined effort to pass living wage ordinances. But many cities, including Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh, have failed to produce tangible results.

“When you are trying to help people reach the ‘American Dream,’ a living wage is the best way to do it,” said James Mitchell, a member of Charlotte’s City Council.

Mitchell said he was disappointed when Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory vetoed a living wage ordinance that passed the council by a 74 vote in 2001. All the votes in favor of the bill came from Democrats, and all those against it—including the mayor’s veto—came from Republicans.

Because Republicans tend to be concerned with business interests, they are typically opposed to a living wage, Mitchell said.

Brownie Newman, a member of the Asheville City Council, said although he could not recall any organized movement to institute a living wage in Asheville, he would support one if it was presented.

“The combination of low-paying jobs and a high cost of living make Asheville’s economy a difficult one for a lot of our working people,” Newman said. “Is it right for people to workfull time and live below the poverty line? I think the answer is no.”

But opponents of a living wage argue that while high-caliber workers might be attracted to higher pay and improved quality of life, a living wage would be detrimental to many small businesses.

of several aftershocks.

“We are busy now trying to pull people or bodies of children from the collapsed building,” said Nainggolan, who like many Indonesians uses only one name. “It is very hard also because there is no power.

“The situation here is really messy,” he said. “Aftershocks keep hitting every half hour making thousands of people flee their homes and afraid to go home.”

Nias, a renowned surfing spot, was badly hit Dec. 26, when at least 340 residents were killed and 10,000 were left homeless.

The only other deaths reported in Monday’s quake happened in Sri Lanka, where two people were reportedly killed during a panicky evacuation from the coast in a Tamil rebel-held area.

The U.S. Geological Survey measured Monday’s quake at magnitude 8.7 and said its epicenter was 155 miles south-southeast of Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province on Sumatra island. It struck just 110 miles southwest of the 9.0-magnitude temblor of Dec. 26—the world’s most powerful in 40 years.

Monday’s wallop, although very powerful, was but a fraction of the earlier quake. In explosive power, December’s quake was equal to 100 million pounds of TNT; it caused the seabed to spring up as much as 60 feet.

Terrified of a disaster of equal proportions, sirens sounded throughout the region as authorities issued tsunami alerts for six countries after the quake struck at 11:06 p.m. when many people were sleeping.

Women clutching children ran into the darkened streets of Banda Aceh, crying and chanting “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is Great.” Others grabbed small bags of clothes and fled their tents and homes for higher

ground.

Another man rushed instead to the local mosque, saying “Where can I go? You can’t outrun a tsunami.”

The quake lasted two minutes and briefly cut electricity in Banda Aceh. Thousands poured into the streets, where flickering campfires and motorbike and car headlights provided the only lighting.

People grabbed small bags ofclothes as they fled their tents and homes. Many were crying and jumping into cars and onto motorbikes and pedicabs to head for higher ground. Two women wearing prayer shawls and sarongs grabbed a fence to steady themselves.

“People are still traumatized, still scared; they are running for higher ground,” said Feri, a 24-year-old aid volunteer who goes by one name.

Panic gripped at least one relief camp in Banda Aceh.

An Associated Press photographer saw thousands fleeing their tents —but with nowhere to go, they milled in crowds along the road.

Police with megaphones asked people not to panic and return to their tents. After a while, many started moving back.

In Malaysia, residents fled their shaking apartments and hotels.

“I was getting ready for bed, and suddenly, the room started shaking,” said Jessie Chong, a resident of the largest city, Kuala Lumpur. “I thought I was hallucinating at first, but then I heard my neighbors screaming and running out.”

In Sri Lanka, President Chandrika Kumaratunga called an emergency meeting at her home with Cabinet members and went on state television to assure the country “we are taking all precautionary measures.”

GOODWIN from page 3 “I see that a lot of positions really just absorb each other,” Goodwin said, adding that these consolidation ef-

forts would make DSG more efficient.

If elected, Goodwin said he looks forward to working on DSG business as soon as Summer 2005, as he did this past summer with DSG officials Wisnewski and Jesse Longoria, a junior and vice president of athletics and campus services.

Goodwin also has leadership roles in the Interfratemity Council and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and is involved with the Catholic Student Center and Project BUILD. “It would be an honor to pass the gavel on to Brandon,” Wisnewski said. “I’ve been very impressed by his compassion, integrity and enthusiasm in every project that he’s worked on.”

In an interview with CNN’s “Late Edition,” Army Gen. John Abizaid, the commander of U.S. Central Command, said fresh skirmishes along the Pakistani frontier showed “the fight is not out of the Taliban completely, and not out of the al-Queda people that are operating in that region.”

Asked where Osama bin Laden might be, Abizaid said only that “an awful lot of al-Queda leadership” was operating in the mountainous border region and that U.S. troops were watching the area “with great interest.”

Hunt said 150 U.S. aircraft, including ground-attack jets and helicopter gunships as well as transport and reconnaissance planes, were using 14 airfields around Afghanistan. Many are close to the Pakistani border.

Other planes such as B-l bombers patrol over Afghanistan without landing.

“We will continue to carry out the mission for as long as necessary to secure a free and democratic society for

the people of Afghanistan,” Hunt said.

American officials say fixing the runway at Bagram will make it suitable for Dutch F-16 fighters expected to deploy this year to support the separate NATO-run security force in Afghanistan. U.S. forces have begun vacating Shindand Air Base, near the Iranian border, as NATO expands its 8,500-strong force into the west.

U.S. forces are increasingly focused on the area along the Pakistani border, but security remains fragile also in the capital.

Monday’s explosion damaged a Canadian Embassy vehicle and injured one Canadian, Afghan officials said. The bomb left a five-foot-wide crater next to the road. Witnesses, however, said the man, identified by an embassy official as a security guard, walked unaided from the damaged vehicle.

Canadian officials were investigating the blast.

“It detonated just as the embassy vehicle was driving by,” Lt. Col. Roland Lavoie, a public affairs spokesperson for Canada’s Department of Defense, said from Ottawa.

“One of the goals of the investigation is to determine whether Canadian vehicles were targeted.

Duke looks ahead

Coach K deserves plenty of credit Many sportswriters across the country have made the argument that this has been head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s best coaching year ever. But given his gaudy resume, which is in the company of only a select few coaches in history and filled with national championships and conference titles, how can a season which ends in a disappointing loss in the Sweet 16 be Krzyzewski’s best year ever?

To begin to understand why this year has been so impressive, you have to start with the summer of 2004. Duke’s most talented player, Luol Deng, and its most skilled recruit, Shaun Livingston, declared for the NBA draft, leaving gaping holes on the roster, especially in the frontcourt. Even the consequences of forward Michael

Thompson’s

departure to Northwestern the previous season were looming larger and larger as Duke had a team with only two players —Shelden Williams

and

Shavlik Ran-

dolph—who could play inside.

Plus, there was this soapopera incident with the Los Angeles Lakers. Krzyzewski turned SEE COACH K ON PAGE 12

THE CHRONICLE

Devils built a 24-12 lead using a 13-1 offensive set with Alison Bales at the high post to pound the ball inside to Williams, who scored 13 first-half points on perfect shooting. Bales showed surprising mobility on a play with 8:15 remaining in the half when she caught a pass at the high post and drove to the basket, making a layup. The drive, along with Bales’ reputation as a solid medium-range shooter, drew her defender out and allowed Williams to operate one-on-one under the hoop.

For the 97th time in Duke basketball history, the Blue Devils ended a season without a national championship.

And although tears were shed after Duke’s 78-68 loss at the hands of Michigan State Friday night, it is difficult to ignore the sense of accomplishment shared by a team that said it got more out of this season than most.

“I told the kids after the game, it’d be a mistake for us to dwell on this game—and a loss—because the season has been absolutely beautiful and sensational,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We showed the same heart tonight—our kids never gave up.”

It would have been easy for the Blue Devils to throw in the towel at any point this season.

After last season’s Final Four trip, the team lost senior Chris Duhon to graduation and freshman Luol Deng and recruit Shaun Livingston to the lure of NBA riches.

The departure of those three left Duke with a short bench and without a true point guard.

As a result they were ranked No. 11 in the preseason and selected to finish fourth in the ACC. Neither departures, injuries

strengths over the nation’s top squad. Though these strengths and the corresponding approaches produced an early Duke advantage, it was outside forces working against

Goestenkors’ strategies that created a Blue Devil loss.

Offensively, Duke tried to spread the floor and allow room inside for Mistie Williams, the Blue Devils’ best interior scorer, and for her teammates’ backdoor cuts to the basket.

Goestenkors showed LSU a number of different looks to try to control the tempo of the game on the defensive end. But Duke’s own foul trouble and Tiger junior Seimone Augustus’ All-American-caliber play undermined Goestenkors’ plan.

Freshman Zack Greer'sthree goals against Georgetownraised his season total to 29.

The men’s lacrosse team has an opportunity to make the record books Tuesday, when No. 2 Duke faces off against Mount St. Mary’s (3-2) at 3 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium.

“Our motivation tomorrow is that we have a chance to make a little history around here,” head coach Mike Pressler said. “I told the boys no Duke team has ever gone 10-0.”

The Blue Devils have not had a 10-win season since 2001, and Pressler said he can not remember a Division I team ever having

10 wins before April 1.

During the long win streak the team has remained confident, but not cocky. Senior goalie Aaron Fenton credits Pressler with the team’s solid attitude. “[Coach] tells us to forget about last game—it’s history,” Fenton said. “From his point of view we are 0-9. He keeps us motivated to work hard every day in practice.”

LAURA BETH DOUGLAS/THE CHRONICLE

Duke's strong defenseheld the Tigers to 59 points, but theBlue Devils'offense was less effective.

GAME PLAN

*om page 9

The Blue Devils’ offense showed promise with this play but almost immediately stalled. Bales went to the bench after picking up her second foul seconds after that layup. The team had as many turnovers (six) as points for the rest of the half, and LSU rapidly erased Duke’s early lead.

Foul trouble further plagued Bales in the second half, as she was only able to play 21 minutes throughout the game.

Chante Black provided solid interior defense for the Blue Devils but was not the same offensive threat with a mere four points. This allowed the Tigers to double team off her, a luxury they did not have with Bales on the floor.

“They had to go out and respect [Bales] because Ali is our best high-post shooter,” Goestenkors said. “When Chante was in, they were just double teaming inside. They didn’t have to defend her out there because she is not as effective of a shooter.”

Duke needed to hit threes to take defensive pressure off its post players with Bales out, but it was unable to do so. The Blue Devils shot a measly 2-for-13 from behind the arc, as Monique Currie’s 4-for-18 shooting performance left Jessica Foley as the only deep threat. But Foley, still both-

nor lower expectations deterred them because in the minds of Krzyzewski and his players, there is no such thing as a down year in Durham and certainly not in the 100th year of Duke basketball.

“It’s one of those things you really have to love about having teammates like that because in a lot of places you go, everyone is so consumed with just themselves and not the unit,” senior Reggie Love said. “I think everyone on the team has done a great job and risen to the challenges of adversity this year.”

The team managed to win 27 games, lose just six, capture its sixth ACC Touma-

ered by tendonitis, failed to make a impact, shooting only 20 percent from threepoint range.

“Their defense was excellent,” Goestenkors said. “We needed to hit some outside shots to draw them out, and we just couldn’t do it.”

Even with different defensive formations throughout the night, Duke could not stop Augustus, the Most Outstanding Player in the Chattanooga region. The Blue Devils primarily utilized a man-toman defense, in which Wanisha Smith guarded the taller Augustus, who finished with 24 points on 50 percent shooting.

The 6-foot-l LSU guard was able to shoot over Smith at will.

Against the Blue Devils’ 2-3 zone, the All American exploited a gap at the freethrow line and consistently drew in the zone and kicked out to her wide-open teammates. Augustus also single-handedly obliterated Duke’s initial attempt to press with 7:30 remaining in the game, weaving through all of Duke’s defenders and making a runner in the lane.

The game plan was solid, but the game presented unpredictable elements and unpreventible forces that overwhelmed any prepping the Blue Devils could do.

“That’s basketball,” Williams said. ‘You have to show heart, and tonight we just came up short.” ment in seven years and earn a No. 1 seed

in the game.”

The Blue Devils (31-5) came out strong against the Tigers (33-2), holding the lead for most of opening 20 minutes. LSU would take the lead 15 seconds into the second half, and Duke held the lead for a total of just 38 seconds after the break.

Seimone Augustus, who was named Most Outstanding Player of the regional, scored a game-high 24 points, including 12 in the second half. Down the stretch, Augustus routinely served up key plays for the Tigers.

With 30 seconds to go and Duke down by seven, the unanimous All-American selection grabbed a rebound off an LSU miss from the line, giving her team a pivotal extra possession. Augustus then extended her team’s lead on two successful shots from the line, diminishing the Blue Devils’ hopes for a comeback.

The Blue Devils’ own All-American, Currie, rarely took comfortable shots as most of her attempts came in the form of off-balance looks from the perimeter.

With 53 seconds remaining, Currie stole the ball and missed a jumper at the other end, landing on the floor. Augustus lent a hand to the fallen Blue Devil and patted her on the back as the pair ran down the court for a LSU possession.

“I think we did an excellent job in the first half, not as much in the last five minutes of the game,” Currie said. “In the second half, we just got a little over-rotated. They were getting a lot of easy baskets in the second half. They took advantage of that.”

Currie has one more year of eligibility but has not decided whether she will return. After Monday night’s game she said that not winning a national championship will factor into her decision.

Duke did not miss Currie’s offense much early as its dominant low-post offense and tough defensive pressure established an early lead, which the Blue Devils maintained for most of the first half.

Under the basket, Mistie Williams secured strong positioning, leading the team with four first-half defensive rebounds and 13 first-half points, most coming on layups following passes from the top of the key. Williams was a perfect 7-for-7 on the night but did not score in the last 18 minutes.

The Tigers made a mental defensive adjustment in the second half, “cleaning up,” LSU head coach Pokey Chapman said. The shift stunted the Blue Devils’ offense, particularly passing access to Williams.

“They just really started fronting me, and then if I happened to push them up the lane, you had Sylvia Fowles ready to double me,” Williams said. “We just didn’t make the adjustments early enough.”

Sylvia Fowles, standing at 6-foot-5, provided a challenge for Williams, Alison

sive junior campaign. After recommitting in the NCAA Tournament for the seventh himself to basketball and undergoing rigtime in the past eight seasons—all tri- orous off-season workouts, Redick transformed himself into a more complete playumphs not to be taken lightly.

“The achievement of a No. 1 seed is an er. He was named ACC Player of the Year amazing accomplishment for this group of and is a finalist for the Naismith National young men,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s one of Player of the Year honor, accolades that the biggest accomplishments I’ve had in seemed out ofhis reach back in November.

Meanwhile junior Shelden Williams, coaching for our group to finish ACC who became the first player under champs and get a No 1 seed.”

And ailthough the flicker of hope for a Krzyzewski to average a double-double for National Championship was extina season, said he will take time to weigh his guished in Austin, Texas, Friday night, options regarding whether he’ll enter the the prospects for next season appear NBA draft or finish out his Duke career.

Either way, the incoming freshman even brighter.

Redick has stated he class will will fill many of the holes Michigan repeatedly JJ. return for his senior year and reiterated State exploited in Duke’s final loss. The that Friday night, hoping to top his impres- five-member class includes three McDon-

Bales and Chante Black, who had 13 points and 11 rebounds, eight of which came on the defensive end.

In the second half, the Tigers overwhelmed Duke, shutting down their offense and driving through the defense that had been so effective through the first 20 minutes of play. LSU fought back on a four-minute 12-2 run at the end of the first half and carried its momentum into the second half.

Bales and Williams tried to gain position underneath, but four fouls hindered each player’s efforts, which shortened the Duke bench for much of the second half.

After shooting 52.2 percent in the first half, the Blue Devils could only make a quarter of their shots fall after the break.

Without Bales and Williams, many of those shots came from long range, where Duke looked considerably less comfortable.

“I thought we were in great position.

We were playing excellent defense, and we had the tempo we wanted,” Goestenkors said. “I think fatigue was a factor. We need our rotation.”

To Goestenkors, this year’s achievements were remarkable for a team that faced much adversity in the form of injuries, suspensions and graduated stars.

But after the team’s final game, the head coach was frustrated with how the loss came down to rebounding and turnovers.

The Tigers outrebounded Goestenkors’ squad by 15, after the teams each had 14 boards in the first half. LSU scored 17 points to Duke’s six off turnovers.

“What’s disappointing is that I think the game came down to things that we could have controlled,” Goestenkors said.

NOTES: No. 7 seed North Carolina fell to Baylor in the other regional final Monday.... LSU will take on Baylor in the Final Four....

Duke’s 19 points in the second half were a season low.

“We have been practicing hard and haven’t had a bad practice yet,” Flannery said. “We have been getting better every day.”

Tuesday marks Duke’s first matchup against The Mount since 1993, when the Blue Devils prevailed 16-2.

There is little history between the two teams.

Mount St. Mary’s offense revolves around lefty attacker Matt Warner. The junior scored five goals in The Mount’s most recent win against Wagner.

“They have lots of seniors,” Pressler said. “They are capable. They played Virginia well for a half and have won some key games this year.”

Against Virginia, Mount St. Mary’s kept the game close in the first half and trailed only 4-2 at the half. After halftime, Virginia reeled off six straight goals to rip the game open.

Unlike The Mount, the Blue Devils are led by a plethora of underclassmen. Pressler is worried that his young team may still be prone to mistakes. team

Sophomore Peter Lamade and the Blue Devils possess thebest defense in theACC, allowing six goals per game.

“If you look at our team, there are only two seniors that play,” Pressler said. “This is a sophomore- and junior-dominated team. We continue to improve and continue to get better.”

Pressler said that Duke is still looking to improve on its faceoff percentage. He set a goal at the beginning of the season for his team to win 50 percent of its faceoffs, but the team has only secured 47 percent this year.

The Blue Devils have been at their best this season when putting teams away early. Against then-No. 5 Georgetown Duke jumped to a 7-1 lead at half and never looked back.

“We have to get out of the box quickly,” Pressler said.

“Some of these Tuesday games we have not gotten off as quickly as we would have liked.”

On top of everything else, this team knows how to have fun. Watch one game and see the team smile as they run circles around the competition.

“Coach Pressler creates this atmosphere where we can have a good time, but we can still be serious and get the job done,” Flannery said. “We realize it is still just a game.

We play better when we are having fun.”

COACH K from page 9 down a mega-million dollar deal just to stay in Durham, but admitted to being intrigued by the offer presented by Jerry Bus, the owner of the Lakers. In the 90s, Krzyzewsld said he would never even consider an offer from the NBA or another school because he was so happy at Duke, but that sentiment obviously changed.

But Krzyzewsld had a plan for the season. First, after assuring his team and every Duke basketball fan that he was committed to staying in Durham, he began to tackle the problem of depth the only way possible: conditioning.

Krzyzewsld converted his big time players into 40-minute players. JJ. Redick was notorious for getting out of shape during off-seasons and then forcing himself back into shape once basketball season rolled around. But this year, Krzyzewsld forced him and Williams, Randolph and Daniel Ewing to be able to play a full game without tiring.

The next thing Krzyzewsld did was develop some of his players who had been marginal role players the previous season. Sean Dockery turnedfrom a player who could only help the team on defense or in transition to an accurate jump shooter who defenses could not leave alone. Lee Melchionni stepped out of the shadows to become a very dangerous offensive threat and even ended up carrying the Blue Devil offense to some very big wins throughout the season.

Krzyzewsld also had to deal with multiple injuries to key players on the team. Randolph, Dockery and DeMarcus Nelson all had to miss significant time. Krzyzewsld turned to former wide-receiver Reggie Love, senior Patrick Johnson and even to Deng’s high school teammate Patrick Davidson for productive minutes.

The fact is, this team was just not loaded with talent like Duke squads in the past —but Krzyzewsld did an amazing job getting full mileage from every part that he had. The list of this team’s accomplishments isn’t mindblowing (ACC Tournament Champions, No. 3 in the final AP poll), but it could’ve been a lot worse.

After the loss in the Sweet 16 to the Spartans, Krzyzewsld put the season into perspective: “It’s been a tremendous season. I’ve loved my team. You either want the season to end in jubilation or crying. That emotion will show if you’ve actually had a great season. There’s a lot of crying in that lockerroom.”

The NCAA Tournament was very disappointing, but Krzyzewski and his players have very little to hang their heads about.

into his famed dilated worldview.

I humbly disagree. Let me explain: Gonzo journalismwas based on the entirely true premise that reality could never appear in newspapers. The media (even after factoring out human error and bias) can only tell us what they think has happened. There is still no way of getting to the truth. Nothing in journalism can fully give us the impact a bombing has on a village. You need fiction at the very least. The situation requires more flexible definitions and imagery than objective language allows. Maybe Hunter needed substances to possess the right craziness to describe the insanity. The most imaginative Gonzo journalism was more truthful than any accredited news source. He reflected and sharpened the reality of what he lived through.

He always embraced the darker elements of American culture, His subjects included Hell’s Angels, politics and Las Vegas. He was out in the world, trying to get a sense of what it really was. I see him as man who knew reality’s limitations and tried to transcend them.

I can guarantee thatyour reality will not be a pleasant experience. With what degree and with what type of escapism you meet it with is your own decision. Anyone who turns to me for moral guidance obviously requires more help than I could possibly give. But the Tennessean’s euolgy would not be complete without remembering this: “I HATE TO ADVOCATE DRUGS, ALCOHOL, Via LENCE, OR INSANITY TO ANYONE, BUT THEYVE ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME.”

Too little, too late

Last

week, Duke Dining Services announced a new program that allows freshmen to use unused

breakfast credits to purchase lunch at the Marketplace. I was thrilled, as most other freshmen were, to learn that my unused breakfasts wouldn’t continue to go entirely to waste. It alleviates some small portion of the enmity that I have felt towards the Marketplace and Duke Dining after being so completely ripped off over the course of this year.

That enmity, however, is still largely intact. Despite the fact that this is an important step in improving the freshman meal plan, it is simply too little and too late. The Marketplace itself is fundamentally flawed, and anything short of making eating there completely voluntary is an admission that it is not representative of the will of students. Duke Dining, Duke Student Government and others involved in this issue are simply trying to provide quick fixes to a system that people have complained about for years and that needs to be completely restructured.

As the latest attempt to improve the Marketplace, the “equivalency” program allows students who miss a breakfast that costs $6.70 when charged to food points to get $4.85 worth of food during lunch at the Marketplace. When asked whv th ’$ $4.85 couldn’t be apthis plied to other vendors, Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst replied, “I don’t want to lay off employees because we have to shift schedules.” He is either very ll' +� If GIIIOXX WOIT uncreative in his excuses or needs a quick refreshtransparency er in basic economics.

With respect to the Marketplace employees, we are not at all obliged to support them at our own expense. If any on-campus vendor stopped serving palatable food, no one would fault students for refusing to eat there and making the vendor insolvent. The Marketplace is differentbecause we simply can’t express our displeasure by refusing to patronize it.

But even if we did have an obligation to the employees, we are still eating and will still need people to prepare food, regardless of whether we eat at the Marketplace or not Forcing students to eat there has nothing to do with protecting the jobs of the employees, but everything to do with supporting ARAMARK Corp. and upholding a system that can only be described as fubar.

The Marketplace itself is unique—every other vendor on campus makes money by attracting students to eat there (presumably by providing food options that students want).

The Marketplace, however, already has our money and therefore has no real interest in wooing us to eat there.

Under the current system, the only way for it to increase its bottom line is to reduce its operating costs (anyone wondering where the Lucky Charms have been lately?).

Duke Dining has completely ignored the simple but powerful notion of competition—something whose absence from the first-year meal plan is being sorely felt by droves of unsatisfied freshmen. Without a profit motive that is based on providing for what students want, any system is destined to fail.

Add to that other problems with the Marketplace. A greasy, all-you-can-eat buffet with few healthy options is not exactly the best way to prevent students from gaining the freshman 15. In addition to this, students also often waste food because much ofit is unpalatable and because we have no reason not to—further increasing the price ARAMARK has to charge Duke to even cover its own costs.

So why would Duke continue with this system? It could have something to do with the fact that Duke does make money through the ARAMARK contract, or that the current CFO and Executive VP of ARAMARK sits on the Trinity Board ofVisitors (which influences first-year dining), or it could be that some of our administrators need to actually think this situation through. But ultimately, your guess is as good as mine.

For me, however, the situation is clear. I would much rather take my business to a small, individually owned vendor, instead of giving more money to ARAMARK and Duke.

Having already spent almost $3,000 at the Marketplace, however, I can’t afford to eat anywhere else. I would personally love to go to Cosmic every day, but they don’t take food points because of the 18 percent charge imposed by Duke on all points purchases.

Thank you, Duke Dining. Wake up, DUSDAC and DSG.
