THE CHRONICLE

Duke is the 11thbest university in the world, according to rankings released in the Times Higher Education Supplement last month.

The London-based THES placed Duke 41 spots higher than last year’s ranking. The newspaper also gave the University high marks in specific categories, ranking it eighth in North America and 23rd in the field of biomedicine.

Although members of the administration were pleased by the

University’s performance, they were unenthusiastic about the concept of rankings.

“I don’t put much store in point-order rankings,” Provost Peter Lange said. “But the ranking we got last year was complete and utter malarkey. Fifty-two was totally unreflective of our stature as a university.”

Despite several adjustments to their methodology, THES officials said most of this year’s statistics have not significantly changed from those of 2004.

Mayor Bill Bell was elected to a third consecutive term, and two City Council members kept their seats.

Durham voters also approved eight bonds totaling $llO million that will be put toward infrastructural concerns across the city.

Facing competitor Jonathan Alston for the second time, Bell performed as well as suggested from the Oct. 11 primary, when he won 88.2 percent of the vote.

With 98.25 precincts reporting Tuesday, Bell received 85 percent of all votes; Alston garnered only 14 percent.

Following his victory, Bell said he was not dwelling on the importance of having won a record third term. Instead, he is focusing on living up to the voters’ expectations in the future.

“We need to move on and execute,” he said.

In response to the many issues concerning the growing Latino communities in Duke and Durham, students and faculty met with local leaders to discuss important challenges that unite the two communities.

Approximately 15 students gathered in a lecture hall at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy Tuesday evening for a panel discussion with Ricardo Velasquez, a local attorney and president of

The only upset came in the batde for Ward 3’s City Council spot.

With about 72 percent of the vote, challenger Mike Woodard, a Duke administrator in financial services, was handed a win over incumbent John Best, Jr. Woodard’s win was presaged by his commanding victory margin in the Oct. 11 primary.

After his defeat, Best expressed regret that his campaign was not more “issue-orientated.”

Nonetheless, he wished his replacement good luck. “I told him to enjoy it while he can,” Best said with a laugh.

Woodard could not be reached for comment.

Ward 2’s race was the closest in the city. Howard Clement was elected to his seventh city council term, beating Regina Stanley-King by a margin ofabout 20 percent.

FINANCIAL AID

Colleges embark on slew of aid campaigns by

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

As the price of attending college increases each year, various schools—including Duke—have launched ambitious financial aid campaigns to ensure their institutions’ accessibility to all students.

Several university officials across the nation have identified this trend as a necessity to achieve the goals of any school. Universities and the government are unable to support higher education costs for many students.

According to a document released by The State Public Interest Research Group’s Higher Education Project, American undergraduates faced more than $3l billion in unmet financial need in the 2003-2004 academic year.

In order to curb the growing problem, several universities are facing it head on.

Brown University announced last week the launch ofa $4OO-million initiative specifically geared at fundraising for financial aid.

The University of Chicago is currently tryanalysis ing to raise $289 million.

Wake Forest University and the University of Michigan also have similar campaigns in the works.

Duke’s Financial Aid Initiative —set to begin its public phase in December—is also in full swing, raking in approximately $lOO million for the aid endowment since January 2005.

The Initiative is a campaign targeted at raising the percentage of endowed aid the University provides to all undergraduate and graduate students.

Endowed funds are invested by its respective university and cannot be used for any expenses.

Money returned from investments, however, can be used to fund programs, like financial aid.

“It’s unlikely that we will ever see an end to these types of campaigns,” said Tony Pals, director of public information for the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. “Institutional aid SEE FINANCIAL AID ON PAGE 8

newsinbrief Saddam lawyer gunned down

France declares state of emergency by

Christine Ollivier

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Jacques Chirac dePARIS clared a state of emergency Tuesday, paving the way for curfews to be imposed on riot-hit cities and towns in an extraordinary measure to halt France’s worst civil unrest in decades after 12 nights of violence.

Police said overnight unrest Monday to Tuesday—while still widespread and destructive—was not as violent as on previous nights.

“The intensity of this violence is on the way down,” National Police Chief Michel Gaudin said, citing fewer attacks on public

buildings and fewer direct clashes between youths and police. He said rioting was reported in 226 towns across France, compared to nearly 300 the night before.

The state-of-emergency decree allows curfews where needed and will become effective at midnight Tuesday, with an initial 12-day limit. Police were expected to enforce the curfews. The army has not been called in.

Vandals burned 1,173 cars Monday, compared to 1,408 vehicles Sunday, police said. A total of 330 people were arrested, down from 395 the night before.

Local officials “will be able to impose curfews on the areas where this decision

applies,” Chirac said at a Cabinet meet-

ing. “It is necessary to accelerate the re-

turn to calm.”

The recourse to a 1955 state-of-emergency law that dates back to France’s war in Algeria was a measure both of the gravity of mayhem that has spread to hundreds of French towns and cities and of the determination of Chirac’s sorely tested government to quash it.

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said curfew violators could be sentenced to up to two months imprisonment, adding that restoring order “will take time.”

JACKSBORO, Tenn. A teenager shot and killed an assistant principal and seriously wounded two other administrators at a high school Tuesday, officials said. The student was arrested.

“I don’t know what he was thinking or what his motives were,” Sheriff Ron McClellan said.

Campbell County High SchoolAssistant Principal Ken Bruce was shot in the chest Just after 2 p.m. and died soon after at a hospital, law enforcement and school officials said.

The suspect was grazed in the hand by a bullet fired from his own .22-caliber handgun during a scuffle with the administrators and an unidentified teacher who helped wresde the gun away, the sheriffsaid.

No other students were injured.

Principal Gary Seale was shot in the lower abdomen, and Assistant Principal Jim Pierce was shot in the chest. Seale was in serious condition and Pierce in critical condition at University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, spokesperson Lisa McNeal said.

schools director Judy Blevins said.

“This situation could have gotten much worse. It did not because our staff followed the (emergency) plan in place,” said Mark Wells, vice chairperson of the Campbell County Board of Education.

Authorities were unsure if the suspect would be charged as a juvenile or an adult.

He was being held in a juvenile detention facility in nearby Scott County.

For most Duke students, sleeping plays second fiddle to Thursday night revelry' and midnight Rick’s Diner runs.

Most students do not realize, however, that lost hours of sleep may very' well lead to insomnia.

Although often associated with adults, insomnia is now prevalent among college students, who are notorious for their erratic sleep schedules.

“I’ve definitely had students fall asleep in my class,” said Lisa Diedrich, a professor of women’s studies at State University ofNew York at Stony Brook.

She said sleep deprivation was common for her students.

Duke is no exception. Every year, a number of Blue Devils seek information about sleeping disorders, said Sherry Huang, a clinical associate at the Student Health Center.

“We may see students coming in requesting sleep aids, to help them get over a certain stressful event,” Huang said.

Insomniacs have restless

nights, fatigue during the day and trouble falling asleep.

Stress, depression, anxiety, naps and the consumption of caffeine or alcohol often lead to the condition.

A person who regularly takes between 30 and 45 minutes to fall asleep is often considered an insomniac.

Over the past few years, the age of those using sleeping pills to manage insomnia has gradually decreased.

Although sleeping pills are a popular option for insomniacs of all ages, an increasing number of younger individuals, including children, have turned to the medication in the past few years.

The number of young adults and children who use sleeping aid rose 85 percent from 2004 to 2005, according to The New York Times.

The data not only shows that more people are using sleeping pills, but it also demonstrates that sleep medication is often overprescribed, according to some health experts.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The CIA took the first step toward a full-scale criminal investigation of a leak of possibly classified information on secret prisons to The Washington Post, a U.S. official said Tuesday.

The agency’s general counsel sent a report to the Justice Department about the Post story, which reported the existence of secret U.S. detention centers for suspected terrorists in Eastern Europe.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the issue dealswith classified information, said the referral was

made shortly after the Nov. 2 story. The leak investigation into the disclosure of covert CIA officer Valerie Flame’s identity came about through the same referral procedure. The Justice Department will decide whether to initiate a criminal investigation.

The Post declined to comment.

On Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert called for a congressional investigation into the disclosure of the existence of the secret prisons.

In Ward 1, incumbent Cora Cole-McFadden defeated Victoria Peterson —a local community activist —in a 76 percent to 23 percent spread.

The bonds were voted on individually, and all eight were passed. Approval ranged from a high of 81 percent for public safety bonds to a low of 62 percent for parking bonds.

Opposition to the bonds over the past several months centered around fear that the bond money would be mismanaged.

Ultimately, however, the promise of repairs to public facilities and cultural landmarks won over voters.

helping the Latino Studies Initiative build momentum toward creating a Latino Studies Department at Duke.

Velasquez and Keene answered questions from a list created by leaders of Mi Gente that touched on a large range of issues, including immigration, voting, education, gangs, family dynamics, politics and the recent changes in Latino communities on a local, regional and national level.

Velasquez emphasized the political and cultural aspects of these issues with respect to Latinos in Durham and North Carolina and also noted an international effect of Latinos’ involvement in American political and legal culture.

“In a subversive way, we are exporting the best of America,” he said of immigrants exchanging ideas about government and law with citizens of their native countries.

Keene focused on the relationships between immigration, language and education in Durham and also across the country. He explained that Durham public schools have recently seen enormous growth in the number ofLatino students, which has given a new importance to ESL programs and created a need for interpreters in parent-teacher interactions.

“What we’re about is helping immigrant kids in school,” Keene said. “The biggest way we can help them is by helping them understand English and by understanding that the Latino community is not monolithic. It does not have a singular cultural background.”

Both speakers agreed that the linguistic, cultural and racial diversity ofLatinos in the United States is often misunderstood and underestimated. Velasquez also noted that Latinos are undervalued as a political force, as evidenced by the fact

“We are facing determined individuals, structured gangs,” Villepin told parliament Tuesday. He vowed that France will “guarantee public order to all of our citizens.”

The violence erupted Oct. 27 as a localized riot in a northeast Paris suburb became angry over the accidental deaths of two teenagers of Mauritanian and Tunisian descent, who were electrocuted while hiding from police in a power substation.

It has grown into a nationwide insurrection by disillusioned suburban youths, many French-born children of immigrants from France’s former territories like Algeria. France’s suburbs have long been neglected and their youth complained of a lack of jobs and widespread discrimination, some ofit racial.

The violence claimed its first victim Monday, with the death of a 61-year-old man beaten into a coma last week. Foreign governments have warned tourists to be careful in France. Apparent copycat attacks have spread to Belgium and Germany, where cars were burned. France is using fast-track trials to punish rioters, worrying some human rights campaigners.

The resort to curfews drew immediate criticism from Chirac’s political opponents. Former Socialist Prime Minister Laurent Fabius said the emergency measures must be “controlled very, very closely.”

Communist Party leader MarieGeorge Buffet said the decree could enflame rioters. “It could be taken anew as a sort of challenge to carry out more violence,” she said.

Rioters in the southern city ofToulouse ordered passengers off a bus, then set it on fire and pelted police with gasoline bombs and rocks.

will continue to be an important source for providing these students with access.”

The need for aid Experts cited two main factors influencing the need for more institutional funding: the effective decrease offederal grant funding and the rise in the number of students who need aid.

Currently, institutions provide four times as much grant aid as the federal government does, Pals said.

Throughout the last two years, federal funding for student aid has remained stagnant despite inflation.

The result is that individual institutions are becoming increasingly more responsible for providing their students with aid.

“Colleges have to fill the gaps,” Pals said.

There is also a growing number of lower-income college students, he noted.

He projected that the college-age population will increase by nearly 20 percent over the next 10 years.

Twenty percent of the people comprising that increase will live at or below the poverty level, Pals said.

Susan Ross, director of financial aid development, has already recognized an increased need for financial aid nationally.

“The increasing demand has led all universities to examine financial aid programs,” she said.

This influx of lower-income students in need of aid comes at a time when many institutional endowments are just beginning to earn money again after suffering declines in giving following Sept. 11, 2001, Pals added.

Tuition increases spur fundraising Landmark College in Vermont—a school for students with learning disabilities and the nation’s most expensive institution for higher learning since 1998—has increased tuition by $11,238 over the last seven years to a current price tag of $37,738.

The growth constitutes a 42-percent hike in tuition.

In the same time period, Brown University and Wesleyan University increased their tuition by 20.1 percent and 21.1 percent respectively. These figures do not include room and board fees.

per recipient Duke’s Trinity College of Arts and Sciences cost $33,017 in total expenses during the 2000-01 school year.

Now the cost of a Trinity education is $41,239—a nearly 25-percent spike.

According to The Chronicle of Higher Education almanacs, these schools are not alone in their tuition increases.

Analyses of the data released last month by the Department of Education suggests that millions of students nationwide cannot afford the rising costs.

Students with significant levels of unmet aid are forced to turn to other, non-institutional sources for funding—namely federal loans and part- or fulltime jobs.

“The University’s commitment to assume the share of costs that a family can-

not afford to pay is our chief way of assur-

ing that we select and recruit students on the grounds of ability, dedication and promise alone, not of family circumstance,” President Richard Brodhead said in his State of the University address to the faculty Oct. 20.

Similar commitments are what officials at other institutions claim are at the heart of their financial aid campaigns.

“Families consistently overestimate the cost of college and underestimate the financial aid available,” said University of

Michigan spokesperson Julie Peterson, explaining that the announcement of an

aid campaign also serves as an advertisement for funds that will become available to prospective students.

“We really want to drive home the mes-

sage, ‘Everyone can afford to go to Michigan,’” she said.

Compelling gift-giving opportunities Administrators cited reasons beyond accessibility for students as factors influencing universities to undertake such aid initiatives.

For Duke, Brodhead identified decreasing the amount of aid provided through the operating budget as a reason for the Initiative.

“Duke meets its aid commitments out of the same pool of funds that support most everything else here, including academic programs,” Brodhead said in his Oct. 20 address. “In lean years or hard times, Duke’s need to fund student aid will be in competition with its need to fund the programs that would make top students and faculty want to come here in the first place.”

According to data from Duke’s Office of Financial Aid, out of the $48.1 million used to fund need-based aid this academic year, nearly $4O million will come from the University’s operating budget.

Aside from freeing up budgets, various college officials said financial aid campaigns are attractive to potential donors for other reasons. “[Donors] think it’s a very good thing to do,” said Ron Vanden Dorpel, senior vice president of university advancement at Brown. “It’s like the old adage: ‘lf you want to ensure someone’s never hungry, don’t give him a fish, teach him how to fish.’ If you can provide a leg up it’s a very philanthropic thing to do.”

Duke’s initiative Although some schools’ financial aid campaigns are included within larger capital campaigns, Duke chose to focus fundraising efforts specifically on needbased aid.

The University’s last capital campaign—the “Campaign for Duke,” which ended in 2003—also raised funds for financial aid, but not every Duke school met their stated goals, Ross said.

During the Campaign, $3OO million was raised for financial aid.

Only $l9B million of that was earmarked for endowed aid, Ross noted.

“When a lot of things are on a list, really important things get put on the back burner—financial aid deserves to be put on the front burner,” Ross said.

condition of insomnia Researchers said the growing market for sleeping pills might be leading to the increased usage of sleep medication.

Lunesta, a popular sleep medication brand that was introduced this past year, has an advertising budget in the same league as McDonald’s.

Some doctors said insomnia is undertreated and that it could worsen other health problems. Insomnia interferes with everyday activities, said Harry Goforth, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral science. As a result, insomnia is often linked with the increased chance ofaccidents.

“Poor sleep has been linked, also, to inadequate pain control, worsened depression, treatment-refractory depression and anxiety among a variety of other medical and psychiatric illnesses,” Goforth said.

behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing a patient’s attitude toward sleep and sleep habits.

CBT attempts to change both cognitive and behavioral habits.

“Cognitive habits include worrying in bed, feeling ‘helpless’ about sleep and generally becoming preoccupied with the consequences of poor sleep,” explained Colleen Carney, a research associate in the department of psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center. “Behavioral habits include spending excessive amounts of time in bed, napping and failing to keep a steady bedtime and rise time.”

Many doctors today believe the treatment of insomnia is largely dependent on the individual.

A combination of both medication and CBT can be used to treat insomnia, Goforth said.

CIA from page 5 sidestepped questions on secret prisons, saying the United States was in a “different kind of war” and had an obligation to defend itself.

If the Post story is accurate, “such an egregious disclosure could have longterm and far-reaching damaging and dangerous consequences, and will imperil our efforts to protect the American people and our homeland from terrorist attacks,” wrote Frist, R-Tenn., and Hasten, R-111., asking for a joint leak probe by the Senate and House intelligence committees.

“If the leadership determines that we should investigate the leak, it would be much like the 9/11” commission, said Senate Intelligence Committee chairperson Pat Roberts, R-Kan., who did not dispute a reporter’s suggestion that a probe would raise First Amendment press-freedom issues.

Such an investigation would become “very difficult when you’re getting into matters like this,” said the senator.

Roberts also said he would support hearings into the importance of maintaining a covert agent’s cover, a topic triggered by the leak ofPlane’s identity, eight days after her husband accused the George W. Bush administration of manipulating prewar intelligence to exaggerate the Iraq threat. set

Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the House and Senate committees should conduct any hearings with normal jurisdiction, not a bicameral committee as suggested in the letter of the two Republican leaders.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said any such joint investigation should also investigate possible manipulation of prewar intelligence on Iraq.

“If Speaker Hasten and Majority Leader Frist are finally ready to join Democrats’ demands for an investigation of possible abuses of classified information, they must direct the House and Senate Intelligence Committees to investigate all aspects of that issue,” said Pelosi.

The letter said the leaking of classified information by employees of the U.S. government appeared to have increased in recent years, “establishing a dangerous trend that, if not addressed swiftly and firmly, likely will worsen.”

“We are hopeful that you will be able to accomplish this task in a bipartisan manner given general agreement that intelligence matters should not be politicized,” it added.

While not confirming the existence of secret prisons, Rice told reporters, “We, our allies, others who have experienced attacks, have to find away to protect our people.”

The administration has protected itself “within the constraint of the Constitution and cognizant of our values,” said Rice.

“The United States holds to these values today as strongly as we ever have.”

Role players key to NCAA title hopes by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

At the end of a season, basketball coaches often tell their squads that while teams are made during the season, players are made during the off-season. Although all the Blue Devil players probably heeded this advice, two stand above the rest with respect to off-season work.

The two early-season favorites for the most-improved Duke players are Lee Melchionni and DeMarcus Nelson, both of whom were forced to shift positions last season and step into bigger roles than anticipated. But after a summer of toil, it looks as if the two have made huge strides since Duke bowed out against Michigan State in March, judging from the BlueWhite scrimmage Oct. 22 and the first exhibition game Nov. 3.

Melchionni, who was the biggest surprise for the Blue Devils last year when he became a consistent three-point threat and averaged 7.7 points per game, looks like he might have an even silkier shot this year. His range looks better, too. The senior hit five-of-10 from deep against Concordia and seemed to be looking for his own shot more than he did last year.

“I think I established myself a little bit last year, and I’m not trying to prove anything this year,” Melchionni said after the blowout win over Concordia. “I know SEE BEATON ON PAGE 14

hancing drugs.

The bill, sponsored by Sens. Jim Running, R-Ky., and John McCain, R-Ariz.,

contains a one-season ban for a second steroid offense and a lifetime ban for a third. It would apply to Major League Baseball, the NFL, NBA, NHL and baseball’s minor leagues.

Several bills that would standardize steroid rules across U.S. professional sports have been proposed in the House and Senate in recent months. Most of the bills—including the original version of the Senate measure —were based on the Olympic model: a two-year suspension for the first drug offense and a lifetime ban for the second.

During a series of congressional hearings and in private meetings with lawmakers, the leagues and their players’ unions objected to those penalties as too harsh.

They also say they should continue to set their own drug-testing rules and penalties through collective bargaining.

“I think, seriously, that [the leagues] are under the opinion that we will not act,” said Running, a former pitcher elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame. “We tried to explain to them that we are going to act because of their failure to do so, and I don't think it’s sunk in.”

In April, commissioner Bud Selig proposed raising baseball’s penalties to a 50game suspension for an initial positive

Under current rules, a first failed drug test draws a 10-day ban in Major League Raseball, a 10-game ban in the NRA , a four-game ban in the NFL, and a 20-game ban in the NHL.

The House has three versions of steroid

the talks said on condition of anonymity because the discussions are secret.

“I think congressional intervention in this issue has promoted a better policy within Major League Baseball,” San Diego Padres chief executive officer Sandy Alderson said.

The Senate bill would mandate that each player is tested at least five times a year and would urge leagues to erase records achieved with the help of performance-enhancing drugs.

The legislation would take effect a year after being signed into law, giving the leagues that time to change their own steroid policies and make them at least as tough as the law.

“Maybe with a year to operate, to get their house in order, they will act on their own,” Running said.

Bozman said her team was not surprised when they learned they would be playing on the road again.

“We knew that probably two teams would be leaving,” Bozman said. “If they’re going to send two out because there are three teams in the south region, I think it’s just fair that the higher seed is the one that stays.”

The Blue Devils will open the tournament on Nov. 12 with an 11 a.m. matchup against Princeton (9-8). The Tigers were chosen to host the tournament’s games due to their close proximity to Boston College and Connecticut, the other teams in Duke’s bracket. As in other non-revenue sports, locations for the field hockey tournament are selected with ease of travel in mind.

Bozman has close ties with Princeton, having served as the head coach there for 15 years before coming to Duke three years ago. While coaching the Tigers, Bozman compiled a 188-73-6 overall record and led them to the NCAA Tournament eight times, including two trips to the national title game. In addition, Duke assistant coach Kelly Baril was the starting goalie at Princeton under Bozman before graduating in 2003.

“We are certainly very familiar with Princeton, but we will look at it as any other opponent trying to get in our way as we try to advance to the next level,” Bozman said.

The ACC has five out ofits six teams in the tournament, the most of any conference in the country. Of those five teams, four of them are in Duke’s half of the bracket, including the Deamon Deacons, who have eliminated the Blue Devils from the tournament in each of the last two seasons. While those two loses came in the national tide game, the two teams would meet this year in the semifinals in Louisville, Ky., Nov. 18.

Nelson’s shot, athleticism and flat-out scoring ability will also help loosen up opposing defenses. Last season, when he was hampered by an injured thumb and a few other ailments, Nelson still managed to put up 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

But the sophomore guard was never able to get into a shooting rhythm (he shot just 40 percent) and struggled when putting the ball on the floor. He was called for a number ofoffensive fouls when he drove the lane and found out that college defenses collapse quicker than what he was used to in California high school ball.

Now a sophomore, Nelson looks like a different player this year. His shot is falling—including a 7-for-l 1,15 point effort against Concordia—and he appears more comfortable with the ball in his hands.

“He is a good player,” Krzyzewski said.

“He did a nice job for us last year but he’s a veteran player right now.”

Both Melchionni and Nelson will benefit this season by the return to their natural positions on the wing. Last season, the undermanned Blue Devils were forced to play small when Shavlik Randolph was sick, in foul trouble or just unproductive. Melchionni and Nelson shouldered the brunt of the challenge and were asked to play power forward, taking them away from

FICKE/THE

CHRONICLE

After averaging 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last season, a healthy DeMarcus Nelson will have a much larger role on this Blue Devil team. their respective strengths. On defense Nelson and Melchionni were forced to bang down low and rebound more.

The two should be commended for their sacrifices last year. They surely benefited from the experience—but the team will be better off with Melchionni stroking threes and Nelson slashing to the basket.

The two are key to the success of the Blue Devils this year. Everyone knows what J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams can and will do this season. They are the obvious stars on the team, but they need support.

If Redick does not have room to breathe on the outside and Williams is facing double-teams in the post, other Duke players will need to rise to the occasion and cany the load.

The top two freshmen, Josh Mcßoberts and Greg Paulus, will be great during their time in Durham, but at this point they are still learning Coach K’s offense.

In addition, neither Mcßoberts nor Paulus operates on the wing, where the scoring punch will have to come from to stretch opposing defenses.

As veterans with the offensive skills to do exactly that, it is up to Lee and DeMarcus to lead the second tier ofDuke players.

With their respective shooting ability and athleticism, Melchionni and Nelson will have to be the guys who make opponents think twice before double teaming Redick and Williams.

Having two All-Americans is obviously a great thing, but it will be the less-heralded Blue Devils—namely Melchionni and Nelson —who will determine whether this team will still be playing in April.

SWIMMING from page 12 100 breaststroke in 58.55 and placed second in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:11.16 against the No. 22 Tar Heels (2-2, 1-0). Senior Billy Pearce continued his recent string of strong performances, winning the 200 backstroke in 1:53.91, his first individual victor)' of the year.

“We walked away from this evening with some good performances,” Colella said.

“We realize that these are the types of teams that we’re going to be competing (against) the second half of the season. I was proud of the way we stood up and raced.”

Colella also highlighted some of the swimmers he thought swam well despite not gaining victories. Sophomore Peter Osterland impressed Colella in the 200 freestyle even though he finished sixth,

and fellow sophomore Ryan Packer swam an anchor leg in the 200 freestyle relay that the coach described as, “outstanding for this point in the season.”

In contrast to the positive signs stemming from the swimming competition, Duke’s divers did little to compete on the same level as their UNC counterparts. Not one women’s diver placed in the top five for the Blue Devils, and freshman Nick Campisano led the men’s effort with fourth-place finishes in both the one meter and three meter competitions.

Also a negative, according to Colella, was the absence ofexcitement throughout the night.

“I think that the energy that was on the sidelines when we competed this past Saturday wasn’t there,” Colella said. “That’s something we need to work on, and we need to have that kind ofenergy every time we go into competition.”

trust-violating ways of combating underage drinking.

Some may argue that if students do not want to be punished for underage drinking, then they should not post photos of themselves engaging in the act. Photos are often posted, however, without the consent of the people in the image. With the übiquity of camera phones and digital cameras these days, a student can quickly snap a photo of a bacchanalian Friday night party and post it without anyone’s consent the next day on facebook.com..

lights the broader question of public and private spaces on the Internet.

Students should realize that as a password-protected site, facebook.com has the image of a private network, but in reality it is an open space where one can learn all sorts of details about someone’s personal life. If the Uniwere to use versity facebook.com to detect lowseverity violations, such as underage drinking, then it would have a chilling effect on facebook.com’s purpose of serving as an online networking forum. It would not reduce the number of students imbibing under age 21; it would just reduce the number of photos posted online.

Clearly, in some instances, it should be permissible to use facebook.com to prosecute students. If there is evidence of a rape or assault, for example, the website’s evidence should be used against the offending student. With a lowlevel “everyone does it” violation such as underage drinking, however, the severity of the offense does not justify the use of privacy- and trust-violating methods of obtaining evidence.

The bottom line is that the ends do not always justify the means. Using facebook.com to cite people for underage drinking is simply not worth the price ofviolating the spirit of trust and community that we enjoy here at Duke.

SASS administrator apologizes Last Friday night, Sexual Assault Support Services and the Women’s Center presented a wonderful concert called Body Rock. It was a fundraiser for the Durham Crisis Response Center and the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. In it

there were dedications to the survivors, advocates, activists and supporters who do this work. It was an event to raise awareness on campus to end sexual assault and relationship violence and a chance for diverse campus performance groups to come together and speak out in support.

What it was not was a place for Li’L Jon and the Eastside Boys. It was not a place for a song with violent lyrics and racially derogatory and offensive language.

Lyrics like, “I mop up the flo wit em/And I kick in the door and let the .44 get em” and “Gotta for the spit murderas/And the killas/And the thugstas” didn’t hold the spirit of the event or the cause the event supports.

It did insult the tireless effort of the people who combat this culture and the possible survivors of violence in the audience. Tying these verses together with a chorus that uses profane language and the “N word” makes me wonder, at what point did we lose sight of our accountability and blindly succumb to popularity? Not only that, why was it an all-male group that chose this subject matter for their performance.

Since I’ve arrived on campus I continue to hear people use the word “miscommunication.”

When can we get past this reactionary interpretation and focus on what proper communication is and the responsibility that

comes along with it? When will we begin own our actions and the effect that has on others? The miscommunication seems to be between those who continue to make bad choices and then make inadequate excuses.

We cannot ignore the oppressive nature of racism, violence, heterosexism, and privilege.

It is crucial in maintaining a climate that is safe, inoffensive, and inclusive.

It will not be the case this time, as I will own the actions of these men. I want to attempt to be an ally and address the performance and those who were affected. For anyone offended, I apologize. For the men who understand the importance of their actions, I apologize. For the volunteers who worked long and hard on preparing the show, the other performance groups, and the student coordinator who tied it all together, I apologize.

To the folks who came to talk to me about the effect that performance had, I thank you for your strength and sincerity. It is time for a change in perspective that moves past the popular and into the purposeful. If you’re wondering how, my office is at the Women’s Center in Few Fed.

Stop by anytime.

While

I’m sometimes peeved that the shortest distance between two points on this campus is always under construction, I know I benefit from every new facility once the construction is done. I am very impressed with the new buildings that have sprung up in just the past three months alone, like the Bell Tower, von der Heyden Pavilion, and of course Bostock, my favorite. (I don’t know how the library suddenly became the hotspot on campus to see and be miho kubagawa seen, but as a nerd, I’m discere vivendo not complaining.)

Above all, the new Nasher Museum deftnitely provides a much-needed breath of fresh air into the arts at Duke, considering the fact that what is now known as the “old” art museum was (embarrassingly) our former primary venue for visual art.

However, I think there’s something to be said that despite Duke’s so-called commitment to improving the arts, I still only know of one in-tune piano that I can practice on for my own personal enjoyment on West Campus —the piano in the Mary Lou Williams Center. The situation was only slighdy better last year when I could leave my Crowell dorm room and reach a piano within a minute. All I had to do was walk to Wilson Gym. That’s right, Wilson Gym. Too bad I would never be caught dead practicing Mozart on that piano next to Quenchers. And maybe I didn’t work out enough, but in all my times at Wilson, I didn’t see a single person touch that baby grand either.

And who would? The elliptical is not my kind of metronome. Although I appreciate the addition of the Nasher, as well as the increased attention to the arts at Duke, I’m still left wondering why students with talents in piano, voice and other instruments are left to practice in the most tucked away location on East Campus: Biddle.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s wonderful that Duke brings in top-notch artists and musicians to Page and Baldwin every semester, and with the addition of Nasher, will be able to bring in fantastic art exhibits too. The special Wednesday night Jazz series that took place in the new von der Heyden Pavilion with Tito Puente Jr. was fantastic.

Yet, in these grand plans to provide more space and venues for intellectual and social activities, I’m still waiting to see when Duke will do what I consider to be the first step to cultivating fine arts: offering students their own outlets for musical expression that are not confined to the backwoods of East Campus. Bottom line, where are the West Campus practice rooms?

Though manyof my friends are musically talented, I’ve only had a chance to hear a few of them perform on the piano, violin, guitar or other instruments, despite the countless private lessons and recitals we endured before coming to Duke. This is disappointing considering the enormous amount of talent we have here; last Friday’s Body Rock show definitely showcased Duke’s talented a capella groups and the popular student band Pulsar Triyo. There are more students like theses, with musical backgrounds but no real practical outlet on West Campus to nurture their abilities.

I took piano lessons at Duke my freshman year to continue what I considered to be a hobby I would practice my entire lifetime. Yet when I transitioned to West, I realized continuing lessons required more traveling time to Biddle than I deemed necessary. I used to practice five to eight hours a week in high school; now I’m lucky if I put that much time in a month.

Why? The pianos on West are left in open environments like the Mary Lou and Wilson Gym that aren’t as conducive as private, sound-proof practice rooms. Apparendy in past years there have been conversations of creating a few practice rooms in the Bryan Center. This would be ideal since that would provide a centralized location where students could practice but nothing has come to fruition.

Of course, ongoing construction is necessary for an institution like Duke to continue to provide intellectual and social outlets, biit my recommendation for revitalizing musical creativity on West Campus doesn’t require a new building, a rich donor, or any construction.
