wage and a legitimate representative employee body.

Under the new rules, the number of manufacturers of Duke logo apparel will be slashed by 25 percent, making monitoring simpler, and agreements will be made directly between the University and factories. Previously, agreements were made with licensees.

The agreement was negotiated by members of Duke’s chapter of Students Against Sweatshops, Executive Vice President Tailman Trask, John Burness, senior vice president for public and government relations, and Jim Wilkerson, director of trademark licensing and stores operations.

Trask signed the agreement.

“We agree with the students that this is an important global issue and represents the latest instance in which Duke has provided leadership in the international anti-sweatshop movement,” Trask said in a statement.

Members of the student advocacy group said they were very pleased with the new policy Monday night.

City to install 2 Central crosswalks by

Katherine Macllwaine THE CHRONICLE

DUKE UNIVERSITY ARCHI

In thefirst 20 years of Its existence, the Duke Hospital faced some financial trouas most patients were unable to cover the costs of service.

A new construction plan may help Central Campus residents feel safer as they cross Anderson Street this spring.

The Public Works Department of the City of Durham is planning to build crosswalks where Anderson Street meets Vearby and Lewis streets.

The plan comes in the wake of an accident that occurred Feb. 2 when a female undergraduate student was hit by a car as she was crossing the Anderson and Yearby intersection.

“The accident prompted me to go out and take a look at the situation,” said Phil Loziuk, traffic operations engineer for the transportation division of the city’s Public Works Department.

Lozink heard about the dangers posed by the dearth of crosswalks on Central from John Schelp, president of the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association.

Loziuk said that a consultant’s report of the pedestrian plan for all ofDurham is in the works. He said it will focus on areas that have been especially treacherous, such as the intersection where the student was hit.

Saddam lashes out at Bush

White House defends actions in Katrina by

Lara

Jordan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The administration WASHINGTON of George W. Bush pushed back hard against Katrina-response criticism leveled by ex-disaster agency chief Michael Brown and congressional investigators Monday.

“I reject outright the suggestion that President Bush was anything less than fully involved,” said White House homeland security adviser Frances Fragos Townsend.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff “unequivocally and strongly” rejected suggestions that his agency was preoccupied with terror threats at the expense of preparing for natural disasters.

Both spoke at a conference of state emergency management directors in suburban Alexandria, Va. Their rebuttal came as a Republican-written House report blamed government-wide ineptitude for mishandling Hurricane Katrina relief. A report by Congress’ investigative arm, the Government Accountability Office, reached similar conclusions and singled out Chertoff for delays.

Both Townsend and Chertoff took swipes at Brown, who resigned under pressure in September as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

“There is no place for a lone ranger in emergency management,” said Chertoff,

whose Department of Homeland Security is FEMA’s parent agency.

Brown testified before a Senate committee last week that he issued repeated warnings to the White House and DHS the day the hurricane struck, Aug. 29, that levees had failed and New Orleans was flooding.

He suggested that the White House and DHS had dragged their feet. Bush and other federal officials have said they did not know until the next day, Aug. 30, that levees had been breached.

Monday, Brown defended himself.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Supporters of Haitian presidential candidate Rene Preval erected smoldering roadblocks across the capital and occupied a luxury hotel Monday. At least one protester was killed, but United Nations peacekeepers denied witness accounts that they had shot him.

As Port-au-Prince descended into chaos, Preval returned to the capital for the first time since the election Tuesday. He was the clear winner with about 90 percent of the votes counted, but supporters claimed

electoral officials were tampering with results to prevent him from getting the majority he needs to avoid a runoff.

Barricades made ofold dres were ablaze across the capital, sending plumes of acrid black smoke into the sky. Protesters let only journalists and Red Cross vehicles pass.

“If they don’t give us the final results, we’re going to burn this country down!” a protester screamed.

The election will replace an interim government installed after former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was ousted in a bloody rebellion two years ago. A popularly elected government with a clear

mandate from the voters is seen as crucial to avoiding a political and economic meltdown in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. Gangs have gone on kidnapping sprees and factories have closed for lack of security.

Preval arrived in the capital aboard a U.N. helicopter from his rural home in north Haiti.

“We have questions about the electoral process,” he told reporters after meeting with the top U.N. official in Haiti and ambassadors from the United States, France, SEE HAITI ON PAGE 10

and he noticed how much food they collectively were throwing away.

“That’s a pet peeve of mine,” he said, adding that he enlisted the help of a few of his friends to start the program.

The students dabbled with the idea of aligning with a private on-campus operator such as The Loop, but it soon became obvious that the sheer quantity of food at the Marketplace made it the best option.

Liu said managers for ARAMARK, Corp., the University’s largest food provider, went beyond what he expected in order to make the project a success.

“We just take the trays that [the Marketplace] typically serves buffet style and just empty those into the containers at the Durham Rescue Mission,” she said.

A few years ago, there was a similar program, which did not last, Liu explained.

“Once those students graduated it didn’t really continue,” Liu said. “I want to make this a self-perpetuating program,” He added that long-term plans include an imminent operation in the Great Hall, Subway and other ARAMARK eateries.

“My real vision is to go down to Ninth Street—a lot of those restaurants have the resources to donate,” Liu said.

“There is definitely an unlimited need,” he added, noting that the Durham area has many shelters that need food seven days a week. “I’m going to take this as far as it can go.”

SWEATSHOPS from page 1 “We were really happy that Duke reaffirmed theircommitment to the issue,” said Lillie Ris, a senior and member ofSAS. “We saw it as a victory, and we’re pleased that Duke is a leader on the issue again.”

In addition to the living wage provision and representation requirements, the agreement mandates that any factory producing Duke logo apparel must devote at least two-thirds of its manufacturing to the university logo goods market and be in full compliance of major international labor agreements.

Wilkerson said the agreement is the strongest he has seen from any university and that it will have a powerful effect on workers making Duke products.

“We have learned over the years that it’s just not economically or practically feasible to monitor the factories to the degree that we find necessary,” Wilkerson said.

“This will enable us to create more stable working situations for workers.”

Currendy there are about 4,000 factories worldwide that manufacture Duke-li-

censed clothing. The agreement will reduce that amount to around 3,000.

Burness said Duke was the first university to set standards for apparel manufacturers, having agreed to a code of conduct in 1999 with SAS. The new agreement will be monitored by the Worker Rights Consortium, a nonprofit organization composed of universities, student activist groups and labor rights advocates that help monitor the codes of conduct schools us£ to govern labor rights.

Duke has been a member since 1999 and Wilkerson is chair ofits board.

SAS representatives sent a letter about the issue to President Richard Brodhead in Fall 2005. The group began meetings with administrators in December, culminating in Monday’s signing. Mary Grant, a junior and member of SAS, said the University had two initial objections related to wording.

Because the University' does not officially have a living wage policy, Grant said Bumess had reservations about the wage clause.

She also said Trask was uncomfortable with language concerning worker representation which specifically mentioned unions. The final agreement omits any

specific mention of unions.

“I think that it was part of a reluctance on the University’s part to support all-out collective bargaining,” Ris said of the change. “But we’re satisfied because it will leave space for unions and fulfills part of our mission.”

Wilkerson said the new rules should reduce a practice known in the clothing industry as “flight to the bottom,” when licensees work with a given factory for only one season before moving on to find a lower price. Because prices are so low, manufacturers cannot afford to create positive conditions in the workplace.

After the University became a WRC member in 2001, contracts with licensees were renegotiated to fit the new protocols.

Wilkerson said he hopes the new agreement will not require lengthy renegotiations.

“I applaud Duke’s senior administration for its good and principled decision on these matters and am very proud of the Duke Students Against Sweatshops for their dedication and efforts,” Wilkerson wrote in an e-mail Monday. “This proposal by the students is an idea whose time has certainly come.”

KATRINA from page 2

A Senate panel is conducting a separeview due in March.

While both Chertoff and Townsend acknowledged that the federal response left much to be desired, both suggested officials up to Bush had been unfairly criticized.

Bush, who was traveling in Arizona and California the day the storm roared ashore, was “highly engaged” in monitoring its advance, Townsend said.

And she said it was Bush himself who first conceded several days after the storm—one of the nation’s worst natural disasters—that “the response to the hurricane was insufficient.”

The White House welcomes congressional inquiries into Katrina, and will cooperate with them, Tow nsend said.

“But let’s be clear about the facts,” she said. “As you know, President Bush was highly engaged in the preparation and rerate

Brown applauded congressional investigations into the government’s response.

Townsend, without naming names, criticized those at FEMA she said had “become bitter” and lashed out “trying to find someone else, anyone else, to blame.”

“We cannot attempt to rewrite history' by pointing fingers or laying blame,” Townsend said.

Townsend, who at Bush’s request is conducting her own “lessons learned” inquiry, said her report would be released later this month.

DUKE UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES

The creation of an out-patient clinic at the Duke Hospital helped increase its income during the early years.

DUKEMED from page 1 ceived no medical treatment at all because of cost.

“Patients of moderate means, unable to pay comfortably the full cost of unexpected or prolonged illness, tended to choose medical charity rather than financial tragedy,” James Gifford, medical historian, wrote in The Evolution of a Medical Center.

Duke paid so much charity that hospital lore holds at one point, a well-dressed man entered the hospital, saying he heard Mr. Duke had left $4 million for charity, and he was there to collect his share.

“The percentage of persons paying part of their bills had to be raised if the Duke Hospital was to remain solvent,” Vernon Altvater, the superintendent of Duke Hospital, said to the Duke Trustees June 8, 1931.

These economic problems resulted in a huge deficit for the hospital in its first fiscal year. The University paid a subsidy of more than $260,000 —about as much as Dr. Wilburt Davison, the first dean of Duke Hospital and the School of Medicine, estimated the entire cost of operation for the first year would be.

Because of economic realities, several plans were put into place to curb diminishing revenues.

Davison envisioned one way to alleviate the high costs before the hospital was completed—an out-patient clinic. The first major one in North Carolina, the clinic was designed to accommodate a large amount of people cheaply and quickly.

Medical students or interns would check and test patients and run their diagnoses by a senior staff member. Then, the hospital would refer the patient back to their personal physician with details of how to treat the problem. The clinics also

allowed doctors to screen the patients, so only the most deserving patients would be admitted to the wards.

In the boldest move to increase the amount of money the hospital collected, Altvater notified the public that after April 30,1933, the hospital would not admit free patients. A patient’s friends, church or the county welfare department would be expected to help out if he could not pay for the services.

By 1940, the program made it possible for Duke Hospital to treat about 15,000patients who could not pay the full costs of healthcare, rather than giving 4,000 patients complete charity care. The program, which was unique to teaching hospitals, helped distinguish between the needy and the deadbeats.

Altvater also introduced the inclusive or flat hospital rate in 1933. Admitted patients were charged per day and were given complete services. The lowered rates made healthcare cheaper for the average patient.

The Private Diagnostic Clinic was also set up by clinical staff to give better care to patients with complicated problems and to provide a better funding mechanism for doctors during the Depression. This clinic received a higher proportion of money back, as patients were generally wealthier and complained less often.

This funding mechanism gave the administrators more leeway to solve other problems, like making sure doctors had time off and those who were also professors in the School of Medicine could take time to do research. Also, with a rise in the number of patients during the hospital’s first 20 years, more money was put aside for a medical research fund.

This fund paved the way for the major scientific breakthroughs that have made Duke famous.

LOVE from page 3 were similar to people with obsessive compulsive disorder.

Back at Duke, Christine Drea, an assistant research professor for biological anthropology and anatomy, studies the mating systems and hormonal mechanisms of primates. She said a lot can be taken from them to better understand the romantic relationships of humans.

“After all,” Drea said, “humans are nothing more than another type of pri-

mate.”

She said there are five recognized mating systems among primates, only one of which is monogamy.

Drea explained that “lesser” primates known for their monogamy, such as gibbons, are characterized by similar builds for both males and females, smaller testes, less frequent reproductive cycles and a lower frequency of sex.

These observations have led many scientists like Drea to believe humans in monogamous relationships may be acting against their nature.

“Humans just don’t fit the profile of monogamy whether you .like what that says politically, culturally or not,” Drea said.

Marriage: what’s love got to do with it?

William Reddy, Laprade professor of history, said ideas of love and marriage depend on how people view the world.

“For example, if you have a Hindu conception of the cosmos you will have its appropriate conception of sexual attachment,” Reddy said.

Reddy explained that in the Hindu tradition, there are two words to describe love: rati which is an everyday, general love, and rasa, a spiritual version of love that can be experienced through assis-

from the gods. Westerners, however, have a very different conception of love.

“Hindus have no idea [in their concept of love] of a bodily drive or appetite,” Reddy added. “It’s not very associated with marriage. It has to do with the duty of carrying on the family line.”

In addition to having different meanings around the world, love and marriage have had different meanings throughout time, he noted.

“Romantic love in the 12th [century] through 1700 was considered a naughty, adulterous thing,” Reddy said. “It wasn’t until 1700 or so when people even started entertaining the notion [that] marriage could be based on love.” tance

Love potion number nine?

While some try to figure out love through science or by looking to the past, others are treating it as a math problem.

The recent speed dating events held in the Great Hall are such examples.

Mattia Landoni, a graduate student in public policy studies, matched up each speed dating participant with eight dates for the night. He said he used a point system to create the most compatible matches.

Landoni said each couple filled out a survey, in which they chose 10 characteristics out of 32 to describe themselves, and an additional 10 characteristics they were seeking in another person. He made a spreadsheet to create the schedule.

“It was kind of like Sudoku,” Landoni said with a laugh, “only much more difficult.”

While several participants were unsure of how effective this method was in creating good matches, some scholars are taking a similar formulaic approach to defining love.

Robert Sternberg, IBM professor of

HAITI from page 2

psychology and education at Yale University, devised what he calls the “triangular theory of love” in 1998. According to this

Canada and Brazil. “We want to see how we can save the process.”

Preval also planned to meet with the interim prime minister and president.

Special U.N. envoy to Haiti, Juan Gabriel Valdes, said Preval wanted to ask the Haitian people to be calm and patient.

“He indicated to us... that he wanted to call on the Haitian people to be peaceful and to be patient,” Valdez told The Associated Press.

Interim Prime Minister Gerard Latortue appealed for calm in a nationally broadcast address. “People, don’t stay in the streets,” he said. “I’m asking you to go home.... The transitional government is not stealing your vote.”

In the middle-class Tabarre neighborhood, Associated Press journalists saw the body of a man on a street, blood soaking Preval’s image emblazoned on his T-shirt.

Dozens of witnesses said Jordanian U.N. peacekeepers in a jeep opened fire, killing two people and wounding four.

The body of the second victim was not seen.

“We were peacefully protesting when the U.N. started shooting,” said Walrick Michel, 22.

U.N. spokesman David Wimhurst first denied that peacekeepers fired any rounds, then later said they had fired in the air.

“We fired two warning shots into the air and we didn’t injure anyone,” he said.

In the Petionville neighborhood in the hills east of Port-au-Prince, thousands of screaming protesters poured into the Montana Hotel, where election officials had been announcing results. U.N. peacekeepers armed with assault rifles looked on from the grounds and the roof. No violence was reported.

theory, there are three components of love: intimacy, passion and commitment.

‘You can have one alone, or any combination,” Sternberg said. “If you have only intimacy, you have infatuation. Ifyou have only passion, you have empty love.

All three of them together is consummate or complete love.”

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Dr. Esther Acolatse, visiting assistant professor of pastoral theology and world Christianity at Duke, said it takes much more than common interests to make love and a relationship last.

Acolatse said the best relationships are those that “transcend the two people involved.”

She said the worst relationships were often characterized as “companionship relationships,” which are defined as couples that split resources and responsibilities 50-50, and other more traditional relationships where roles are assigned.

Acolatse also thought there was truth to the old adage, “Opposite’s attract.” She cautioned, however, that often what attracts people to their opposites is the characteristic they are lacking in themselves and therefore will not develop it.

“Real love is love for other people,” Acolatse said. “If both of you are the same, then one ofyou is redundant.”

Acolatse disagreed with the idea that love could be explained away by science.

“There’s a lot in [love] that defies reason. Many times a relationship takes on a life ofit’s own,” Acolatse said. “Of course we know physical things go on in your body and brain when you’re in love, but that’s the only thing science can touch. It cannot give us reasons for the other com-

ponents.”

Monique Currie came out of the gate firing Monday night, driving the ball to the basket on Duke’s first two possessions.

It took the rest of the Blue Devils well into the second half, however, to pick up the intensity that Currie embodied from the start of the contest. And it took a contusion to game junior Lindsey Harding’s analysis left shoulder to do it.

With 13:30 left in the second half, Harding dove for a loose ball.

But instead of coming up with the ball, the junior point guard collided with Terrapin Shay Doron and went down with a shoulder injury. Harding lay huddled on the floor until she was escorted off the court.

She did not return to the game.

“It’s kind of a little incentive to work harder because, when Lindsey goes out, I’m sure the other team is going to be licking their chops,” senior Mistie Williams said. “We kept our composure and we played aggressive. It’s kind of hard to stop a team that has that intensity out there.”

Before Harding’s injury, Currie seemed to be the only Blue Devil playing with passion. She was more aggressive than any of her teammates, and she did not hesitate to attempt her shots or to tell her teammates to take theirs.

At one point in the first half, Wanisha Smith stood on the wing, looking for an open Blue Devil. From Smith’s left side, .

Five days after No. 4 Maryland knocked off then-No. 1 North Carolina, the Terrapins seemed poised to upset another topranked opponent, holding a 41-33 halftime advantage over Duke But the No. 1 MARYLAND Blue Devils (23-1, DUKE 90 10-1 in the ACC) fought back from a 10-point second-half deficit to beat Maryland (22-3, 9-2), 90-80, Monday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium in a matchup of the nation’s two highest-scoring squads.

“We know we just beat an excellent team,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought the second half we did a much better job defensively...and we were just much more aggressive on the offensive end as well.”

The second half was characterized by several back-and-forth runs.

The spurt that turned the contest around for Duke started with the return of Blue Devil point guard Abby Waner to the lineup after halftime. Waner received two quick fouls and played just one minute in the first half. From the moment she entered the game in the second half, however, she led her team on a 15-1 run that turned an eightpoint deficit into a six-point advantage. “[Waner] just makes us better,” Goestenkors said. “She’s going to be one of the players to get on the floor for loose balls, and she has great court vision so she’s going to always see the open player.”

Then, up two points with 3:34 remaining, Duke scored 11 straight points over a two-and-a-half minute stretch to put the game out of reach.

After playing two top-25 teams on the road in its last four games, No. 2 Duke will look forward to a reprieve from hostile environments tonight when it squares off against the ACC’s last-place team, Wake Forest, at 8 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Coach K Court should be a welcome sight for the travel-weary Blue Devils (23-1, 11-0 in the ACC), who are coming off a two-week stretch that featured games at then-No. 15 Boston College and then-No. 23 VS. North Carolina.

ular season about to begin. Led by returning seniors Justin Gray, Trent Strickland and Eric Williams, the Demon Deacons seemed poised to roll through many of their relatively inexperienced ACC opponents and provide a challenge to Duke’s own crop of veterans.

Following the Blue Devils’ 82-64 win, however, Wake Forest has been unable to use its experience to put teams away in the closing minutes of games. The team has dropped nine of its last 11 contests, with its only ACC win coming Jan. 18 against llth-place Georgia Tech. Out of those loses, five have been by six points or fewer.

“This year in the conference, I think there have been more close games than I’ve ever seen before,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “You can look at everyone’s record, including ours, and say they could have three or four more wins, or in our case three more loses, by one possession.... In Wake’s case, those possessions haven’t turned out well. Then it can have an impact on the next game so you aren’t building up any positive momentum.”

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

After reaching its second Final Four in program history a year ago, a more experienced women’s lacrosse team is hoping to bring home its first national championship.

“I think we are going to start right where we left off last year with a lot of intensity,” senior goalkeeper Megan Huether season said. “We always have a preview lot of expectations going in, just being Duke and all the success we’ve had in the past. Our goal is to be in Boston at the end of May. We want to start out [today] with that vision in mind.”

When Duke opens its regular season today against Longwood, which is entering its first season as a Division I team, the Blue Devils will closely resemble the squad that lost to Virginia, 15-13, in the national semifinals and finished with a 17-4 record.

The Blue Devils, who are returning their seven top goal scorers, are led by senior attacker Katie Chrest—the reigning Tewaaraton Trophy winner for National Player of the Year. She averaged 4.52 points per game as a junior.

On the defensive side of the field, the experienced Huether, who was named to the preseason All-America second team, will help anchor a defense that lost four players to graduation.

Nevertheless, the defense is shaping up to be quick and athledc, which should lead to a transition game that the Blue Devils hope to rely on for scoring, Chrest said.

“I think we have the opportunity to be a

better unit than last year,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “We definitely have less experience so that might result in giving up more goals, but we still have Meg Huether, and we have a lot of kids returning —key players that have played like Laura Anderson and Meg Ferguson, who have played since their freshman year.”

Even though last season’s eighth-best scoring defense will have to groom some new talent, sophomore Jessica Adam and junior Michelle Menser return to anchor the midfield. Both players saw action in all 21 games last season and combined for 32 goals.

Kimel said as the season goes on, her team will need to develop its depth even with all the returning talent. To remain fresh, she will mix in some of the freshmen, such as attacker Megan Del Monte, who was a two-time US Lacrosse All-American, Kimel said.

Duke’s road to a National Championship will not be without some difficult tests along the way, however. It will face off against two of the three other teams from last year’s Final Four, including a home game against No. 4 Virginia April 1. The Blue Devils defeated the Cavaliers last year in the ACC Championship, 9-6, before their eventual season-ending loss.

“We are really proud of the schedule we play,” Kimel said. “Our kids believe that if we want to be the best we have to play the best, and they enjoy playing those tough games in tough venues. We want to be in the thick of things for an ACC and National Championship just like every other year, and we feel really good about our chances.”

OPINION

Don't take Duke's success for granted Let me describe a team for you.

This team returns its top two scorers from last year-—one a sharp shooting senior guard and the other a dominating senior center. The team gets surprising production from an improved senior guard, while trying to work in a talented freshman at its point guard position.

Sounds a lot like Duke, who is 11-0 in the ACC and the second-ranked team in the country. Rather, this team is Wake Forest, the Blue Devils’ mlchael opponent tonight, who is the conference cellar dweller at 1-9 and may be only the second-best team in its county after Winston-Salem Bible College.

This Demon Deacon team is, perhaps more than any other team in the last few years, a reminder that health, talentand experience do not guarantee success. Sure, Wake Forest may not have the talent pool, expectations or tradition Duke has, but a skilled team led by four seniors that is 13-11 shows that there are simply no givens in college basketball. It also shows how ridiculous the expectations for Duke have become.

Some fans have griped about the fact that Duke has not been able to tear through its opponents of late and fretted over the late-game mistakes the Blue Devils have committed against full-court pressure.

While these are legitimate concerns, let’s come back down to Earth. Freshman Greg Paulus is going to make some mistakes against good teams. Even the almighty Bobby Hurley had just one assist and 10 turnovers in his first game against North Carolina as the Blue Devils lost by 19.

Plain and simple: ACC games are going to be close. The good news is that despite a freshman point guard and late-game mistakes, the Blue Devils are 9-1 in games decided by 10 points or fewer. All you have to do is look at the Demon Deacons for what could be—they are 1-8 in such games since their Jan. 8 loss to Duke.

While Coach K earned significant praise for his performance last year—and rightfully so —die play of Williams and Redick has overshadowed Krzyzewski’s impressive job this season. He has gradually worked in the freshmen and role players so well that his team is hitting its offensive stride as it enters the stretch run.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest’s Skip Prosser has failed to adjust his system without star point guard Chris Paul, who left school early for the NBA after last season. The Demon Deacons have kept the attitude that they can outscore opponents—an outlook that has prevented Prosser’s teams from achieving postseason success—even though the team has a glaring weakness in its lack of ball handlers. As a result, Wake has the worst turnover margin in the league.

Maybe it’s just something in the in Roanoke, Va. that produces college basketball’s best long-range shooters.

JJ. Redick, a Roanoke native, needs just two three-pointers to become the NCAA’s all-time leader in three-point field goals.

With 412 career trifectas, Redick sits just one behind Curtis Staples, who also hails from the Virginia city.

Although the two are separated in age by more than eight years, the sharpshooters did cross paths at a basketball summer camp when Staples was a freshman at Virginia. At the camp, Staples served as Redick’s coach, and even then he could see the makings of a future star.

“It was one of those things where you had this kid that could really shoot, and all the other kids were far behind,” Staples said. “I just remember telling everybody that the play was for JJ. every time down the floor.”

Redick’s game has developed and progressed a long way since those days. The senior has averaged 3.92 makes from beyond the arc each game this season, is shooting nearly 44 percent from long range and is averaging 28.7 points per game.

“I’ve observed JJ. in his game and his maturation process from his freshman to his senior year,” Staples said.

“He’s worked really hard on his game and it’s very evident as a result.

“I’ve always said the old saying that ‘Records are meant to be broken,’” Staples said. “I’m glad to see that somebody like JJ. is breaking it. He’s a very significant college basketball player. He’s somebody that people will never forget.” water

Redick closes

Rumors have grown louder recently that Prosser has already booked plane tickets to Cincinnati for the morning after the NlT’s first round. Prosser has certainly coached like he expects to leave after the season, as his senior-laden squad has often looked resolved to its toumey-less fate during a current six-game ACC losing streak.

There certainly are other differences between the first and last place teams in the ACC. Greg Paulus is a natural point guard, while Harvey Hale is not. Justin Gray is a good player, whileJJ. Redick is an exceptional one. And DeMarcus Nelson gives Duke a talented, athletic guard off the bench, which Wake lacks.

But the Demon Deacons and their struggles should serve as a reminder to how special this Duke team has been, because regardless of tremendous potential, there are no guarantees.

Parity in the conference has made it difficult for analysts to predict the number of bids the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee will give out to ACC teams come March. With no guarantees, the Seminoles are aware they must find ways to win close games.

“Our youngsters have been somewhat resilient —when we’ve had a setback we’ve regrouped.” Hamilton said. “Our team is still trying to develop an identity. We’re still trying figure out who we are and how we’re going to represent ourselves night in and night out.”

Blue Devils win, 85-61 —Compiled by Andrew Davis

M. BBALL from page 11 Wake Forest’s paltry conference record has also jeopardized its 15-year streaks of postseason appearances and seasons with fewer than 10 conference loses.

“It is a big deal,” Demon Deacons head coach Skip Prosser said. “It’s not something we’re pleased with. It’s disconcerting. There is no silver lining I can put on that one.”

Prosser also expects his team to have a hard time stopping shooting guard JJ. Redick, who scored 32 points when the teams met in Joel Coliseum earlier this season. Redick is currently second in the nation in scoring with 28.7 points per game and has scored more than 20 points in each of Duke’s last 13 games, the fourthlongest streak in team history.

“There’s really no way to guard him,”

Prosser said. “He can obviously shoot it deep, he can go right or left, he uses or declines ball screens exceedingly well, he reads screens very well, doesn’t miss free throws. Sometimes, you really go into games trying to make guys miss. Unfortunately with Redick, often times you end up just hoping that he misses.”

Redick can also make history Tuesday night as he is two three-pointers shy of breaking Curtis Staples’ NCAA record of 413 career field goals beyond the arc. Despite the looming milestone, the senior said that he will not let his personal accomplishments overshadow his preparations for the Demon Deacons.

“Wake hasn’t had the best year in the ACC and they’re desperate right now,” Redick said. “When teams are at that extreme, you can expect them to play a great game. That’s what I’m worried about, not some record that will eventually fall.”

for much of the game.

“I wasn’t too happy that we were down, but I was never worried,” Currie said ofher feelings at halftime. “I just thought we needed to take it in, refocus, and come back out strong in the second half.”

Part of Currie’s motivation was that this performance came one game after Currie scored just two points against Virginia Feb. 10.

“I knew she would come out,” Maryland head coach Brenda Frese said of Currie. “She is a competitor and I knew she wasn’t going to have back-to-back games like that. I knew she was going to come out focused and ready to play. She did what an All-American dties. She came out, put the team on her back and had a tremendous game for them.”

Once Harding went down, however, the rest of the Blue Devils rivaled Currie’s fire and made a competitive run on the Terrapins to ensure the 90-80 Duke victory. shoulder. Harding writhed on the floor in

W. BBALL from page 11 with a 7-0 run of its own. Shay Doron

capped the spurt with a three-pointer with 8:23 remaining that gave Maryland its final lead of the game, 57-56.

Duke would not have had a chance in the game without the play of star forward Monique Currie. The All-American bounced back from her career-worst twopoint performance Feb. 10 with a careerhigh 31-point effort.

Currie did not record a three-pointer on the night, but instead got her points by taking the ball to the basket and attempting a career-high 21 shots.

“I was trying to attack the basket a lot more,” Currie said. “Fve gotten away from that this year.... Wanisha was in my ear about getting to the basket, so I was trying to do that whenever I could.”

The first half was a different story for Currie and Duke. Her teammates got off to a slow start, shooting just 7-for-24 from the floor, including O-for-6 from threepoint range. Currie scored 14 of Duke’s first 23 points, and the team struggled immensely after she went to the bench with 6:53 to go in the opening period.

The scariest moment of the game may have come with 13:30 remaining in the second half, even though Duke had just regained the lead. Junior point guard Lindsey Harding dove to the floor to recover a loose ball, collided with Doron and immediately reached for her left

pain for nearly 20 seconds before Duke regained possession of the ball, and the officials whistled the play dead.

The junior walked gingerly off the floor and straight to the locker room with her left arm at her side. But she returned to the bench later in the half and a team official announced after the game that it was just a contusion. Harding will likely return to the lineup later this week.

Central Campus plaza with its architects, voicing concerns that such a plaza would end up being a wasted space, rendered hazardous by the busses crossing it at all hours of the day. Planning commissioners, clearly impressed with Sandesara’s insight, vowed to review his point.

And that’s just one example.

Sandesara is a keen and intelligent observer who isn’t afraid to tell it like he sees it.

What greater skill could a Young Trustee possess?

All three finalists are articulate, knowledgeable and intelligent individuals. As Duke moves forward into its next strategic plan and its next era of development, we feel any one of these men could hold his own in the Board room.

...

plan was simple—be confident. I figured that if I just went into every part of University life with unwavering confidence, I would be unstoppable.

I was wrong.

It took me a while to realize that it wasn’t confidence that I was lacking —it was intelligence.

I don’t know if it was the first time I confidendy raised my hand in class and answered a question just to have the teacher ask the question again more slowly, or the first (and last) time I confidently attempted to read an e-reserve for class just to be painfully reminded of my illiteracy. But somewhere along the way I realized that it didn’t matter how much confidence I had, because, despite what my mom says, I was, and still am, the Dumbest Kid at Duke—or, as I like to call it, D-KAD. It’s been two and a half years since that painful realization and in that time I have encountered several kids who challenged me for my D-KAD title.

But I could not conclusively say I was smarter than any of them.

However, instead of letting it get me down, I accepted my D-KAD status and moved on. I decided just to make the best of it instead of resenting all those private-schooled, rich, snobby nerds who were smarter than me.

Although being the D-KAD is not a very coveted position at Duke, I have found that it really isn’t as bad as one might think. In fact, I feel like my time as the D-KAD has given me a lot of insight into Duke life that I never would have been exposed to otherwise.

When things like graduate school, participation in class discussion and being on the upper half of the curve aren’t an option, you tend to go into class-

so

Chris Kallmeyer clearly understands the weight the fine arts will carry on this campus in the Nasher era; Brandon Goodwin comprehends the need for undergraduate mentoring and support systems, all in the name of creating that Jeffersonian academic community we so desire. These men are bright, to say the least—each is truly a credit to our University.

But Sandesara, with a veritable grab-bag of unique experiences and interesting ideas, with the courage to say what he believes, remains the best suited to join the University’s highest governing body.

The Chronicle formally endorses senior Hirsh Sandesara for undergraduate Young Trustee.

bad

es with slightly different priorides and mindsets from your average Duke student.

Most kids go into classes with goals like acing tests and getting A’s. For a short time, I too went into classes with goals like those, but I soon found this to be completely unrealistic. While I have aced a test or two in my time, for the most part they have been AIDS tests, sobriety tests and drug tests (actually I got C+ on that one).

And although I’ve gotten plenty of papers back with A’s on them, generally the A isn’t actually the grade, but rather the beginning of a phrase such as, “Absolutely wrong,” or “Ask me about community college,” or “As I said before, you need tutoring.”

I found that the more invested I was in the scores and grades from my classes, the more miserable my life tended to be. The more I let the grades I received determine the way I felt about the class, the less I actually ended up learning. So eventually I decided that enough was enough, and I made a major

lifestyle change.

I just decided

to stop caring about grades.

I no longer look at my grades at the end of the semester and the result is two-fold. Not only do I save myself about two weeks of semi-suicidal depression a year, but my enjoyment of classes also goes way up.

It’s hard to describe the feeling of freedom that comes from going through a whole class and never once wondering whether something will be on the test or if you’ve spoken enough to get your class participation grade for the day.

Now I know a lot of you guys and girls out there are planning on going to med school, law school, etc., after college, and you need every little point you can get. But to all my fellow dummies out there who know that enough is enough with college, take some advice from the biggest dummy around: stop torturing yourself over grades.

Your class rank is in no way based on how much you’re learning, and in five years nobody will give a damn about what your GPA was in college.

I know this isn’t funny anymore, but it’s okay—nobody’s still reading this, anyways. And if you are still reading, what the hell are you doing? I just said I was the dumbestkid at Duke—why would you keep reading? Now that’s dumb!

The 10 year plan There I

are a lot of homeless people in Chapel Hill. I don’t want to see them. don t like hearing, “Can you spare some change?” every dme I walk down Franklin Street. I hate those pangs of guilt every time I shake my head and hurry on to the nice restaurant or store where I am headed I don’t want to think about the residents of the streets, huddled in blankets and trash bags on cold nights, looking dirty, haggard and exhausted. Why should I care about them anyway? If they are on the david fiocco street, it is probably their fault. Why don’t shades of blue they just get a job?

It sounds so easy— just get a job. Except, what if it isn’t so easy? The City of Durham says more than 2,500 people were homeless at some point last year. Eleven percent of them were homeless because of domestic violence; 10 percent have “severe and persistent” mental illness; 12.3 percent are over the age of 65; 17.2 percent are under the age of 18. Many adults do not have a high school diploma. Lots have been arrested at some point in their life. Who is going to hire all these peo-

ple?

And what about those who do have jobs? In the last census, 28,557 Durham residents lived below the poverty line. That is almost 14 percent of the population. Yet, the unemployment rate in Durham is less than 4 percent.

That means most poor people actually do work. “Go get a job” is not the answer.

Last year Durham joined 100 other cities around the country to launch “The 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness.” On the city’s website, Mayor Bill Bell writes that, “Solving the homeless problem in Durham is doable.” The city will officially unveil its solution next month.

It is so easy to talk about the homeless and to throw out ideas for what to do about “them,” but how much do we really know about the people living among us?

Last summer I was forced to take a crash course as I comanaged a homeless shelter in rural Mississippi.

More than 50 residents passed through our doors during my brief tenure, ranging in age from a premature, 2day-old baby to a tremor-stricken old man. I tried to learn each person’s story. They came from all backgrounds and from all across the country.

Michelle came with her two sons escaping an abusive husband. Until the abuse, she had always worked a stable job and lived in a nice house. Rosie, an elderly man, had walked all the way from California. Jonathan ran away from the carnival. Boyce was just released from a lengthy prison sentence.

One thing I learned is that there is no such thing as a typical story. It is so easy to generalize and stereotype the homeless, but such lumped categories do not even begin to capture the need and desperation of a huge part of our population. They do not all need the same thing; some need a lot of help to start their lives again from scratch while others need just a little training in how to budget money or apply for a job. Some may just need a few words of encouragement and a sympathetic ear.

Mayor Bell’s plan is an exciting idea, but can we really end homelessness?

It’s hard to say. We’ve certainly fought poverty before.

Kennedy, Johnson and Clinton all made the same promise.

The specifics of this new plan have not even been completely finalized, but it will not be the wording of the plan that determines its success or failure. The difference would have to be that we really buy into the goal this time—that we make the abstract plan a local effort and all become involved, instead of just rhetoric from our politicians.

Giving a quarter to the beggar on the street may not be the answer, but there are all sorts of opportunities to volunteer time, donate money, or even share what we learn in economics and public policy with local charities that are begging for ideas.

It is easy to forget that we live in Durham, but we actually do. The beggars on Franklin Street force me to remember they exist every day. Just because we do not let the homeless sleep in the Gothic Wonderland does not mean they are not around. We can change that though.

Well, at least that is what the plan says.

and Dillon’s main steps in choos-

ing an outsourcing contractor? “(1) gathering data (2) identifying and evaluating alternatives and (3) choosing the

best alternative” Much of the rest of the article is similarly trite, with a few detailed specifics sparsely included for good measure.

The authors also felt the need to remind the reader that, in the context of outsourcing, a “contract defines the legal relationship between the private provider and the institution.” In that contract, “the term of service defines the period of time during which the provider will perform assigned services;” “termination clauses... define conditions under which the contractual relationship can be severed.”

Well, duh.

Although the innocuous content of this article goes far to assuage any concern over conflicts of interest, it does ascribe a certain insularity to Moneta—a corporate-style optimism based in the notion that if something looks good on paper and seems good in a presentation, then it must in fact be good.

Moneta and Dillon ended their piece: “It cannot be stated any better!” They implied that everything would run smoothly if one follows their seemingly well-thought-out

plan.

Well, everything has not been running smoothly, and criticism of ARAMARK—Duke’s most wellknown outsourcing contratcor cannot be adequately conveyed through written surveys and focus groups.

Maybe Moneta (and some of our other administrators) should be more careful about who they affiliate themselves with and dig deeper than initial presentations made by prospective contractors.
