With the cutting of a gold ribbon, Durham Regional Hospital executives unveiled the facility’s new intermediate cardiac care unit Tuesday afternoon.

About 40 hospital officials joined DRH administrators in the Valentine’s Day ceremony. “It is an appropriate day to open up the cardiac care and chest pain units,” said Dr. David McQuaid, chief executive officer of DRH. The renovation features 24 upgraded rooms, a telemetry hub, a chest pain center and a new nurse call system. In addition, the nursing station was remodeled, and new tile and lighting were installed.

McQuaid noted that the new facility will allow doctors* to give better- care to their patients.

Patients will begin to be admitted into the rooms Thursday. The chest pain center will be ready for use in a few weeks.

The opening marks the end of the first phase of a $2.9-million renovation to upgrade technology and modernize facilities.

For the next nine months, one of the seven wings of the hospital will be shut down every seven weeks for revamping, said Ken Powell, associate operating officer SEE HOSPITAL ON PAGE 8

On a night that celebrated JJ. Redick’s offensive brilliance, Duke’s defense stepped up to give the Blue Devils a dominating win over ACC rival Wake Forest.

After two quick missed shots by Justin Gray that would have cut Duke’s lead to single digits, Greg Paulus stripped Kevin Swinton and led the break, finding Lee Melchionni for a layup. On the next play, Redick stole the ball from Eric Williams, and Paulus found Sean Dockery for a deep jumper from the left wing to push Duke’s advantage back up to 15.

Wake Forest (13-12, 1-10 in the ACC) would not come any closer the rest of the game, as the Blue Devils (24-1, 12-0) cruised to a 93-70 win in Cameron Indoor Stadium Tuesday night.

After allowing the Demon Deacons to shoot 57 percent from the field in the first half, Duke held Wake Forest to 11-for-40 shooting after the break. The Blue Devils frequendy turned defense into offense, registering 12 steals and scoring 31 points off the Demon Deacons’ 18 turnovers in the game.

Iran resumes uranium program

Cheney's hunting partner has heart attack

by Lynn Brezosky THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas The hunting accident that produced a raft of Dick Cheney jokes and was briefly a source of merriment at the White House took a more serious turn Tuesday.

Harry Whittington, the 78-year-old lawyer shot by Cheney, suffered a mild heart attack after a shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart, hospital officials said.

Whittington was immediately moved back to the intensive care unit and will be watched for a week to make sure more of the metal pellets do not move to

other vital organs. He was reported in stable condition.

Just hours earlier, the chiefWhite House spokesperson joked that the burnt orange school colors of the visiting University of Texas championship football team should not be confused for hunters’ safety gear.

“The orange that they're wearing is not because they’re concerned that the vice president may be there,” said White House press secretary' Scott McClellan. “That’s why Fra wearing it.”

Whittington suffered a “silent heart attack”—obstructed blood flow, but without the classic heart-attack symptoms of pain and pressure, according to doctors at Christus

Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial.

The doctors said they decided to treat the situation conservatively and leave the pellet alone rather than operate to remove it. They said they are extremely optimistic Whittington will recover and live a healthy life with the pellet left in place.

Asked whether the pellet could move farther into his heart and become fatal, hospital officials said that was a hypothetical question they could not answer.

Hospital officials said they were not concerned about the six to 200 other pieces of birdshot that might still be SEE CHENEY ON PAGE 7

Saddam threatens hunger strike by

Hamza Hendawi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq After shouts, insults, arguments and walkouts, Saddam Hussein and three ofhis co-defendants unveiled a new show-stealing tactic Tuesday—they announced in court that they had gone on hunger strike.

Saddam said the strike was called to protest the tough way chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman has conducted the court since he took over last month.

“For three days we have been holding a hunger strike protesting against your way of treating us—against you and your masters,”

the former Iraqi leader said. Their claims could not be independently confirmed.

Abdel-Rahman has tried to impose order in a court where outbursts and abuse, mosdy by Saddam and his former intelligence chief and half brother Barzan Ibrahim, have often overshadowed the proceedings. The disruptions led to criticism of Abdel-Rahman’s predecessor, fellow Kurd Rizgar Mohammed Amin, for not doing enough to rein in the brothers.

But after a short period of shouting and verbal abuse at the start of Tuesday’s session, the court was calm as prosecutors tried for a second consecutive day to build

their case of the ousted president’s direct role in executions and imprisonment of hundreds Shiites in the 1980s.

A key document presented to the court allegedly showed that Saddam approved rewards for intelligence agents involved in the crackdown against residents of Dujail, a mainly Shiite town north of Baghdad, following a 1982 assassination attempt against him there.

If convicted in the killing of nearly 150 Shiites from Dujail, Saddam and his seven co-defendants could face death by hanging.

Iran has resumed small-scale enrichmentof uranium, a senior Iranian nuclear negotiator said Tuesday. The resumption still leaves Iran a long way from reaching the stage the world fears most: large-scale enrichment of uranium—a process that can produce fuel for an atomic bomb.

Last May, memories of racism and hate were stirred when Durham was shocked by three cross burnings that took place in the city.

Nine months later, the Durham Police Department fears that the investigation into finding those who committed these crimes has gone cold, Investigator A.Z. Jaynes said last week at a meeting on hate crimes at City Hall.

He said DPD has a list of names of possible perpetrators but does not have sufficient reason to think any of the suspects committed the crimes.

Several years ago, the

term

“supplements” was only associat-

ed with habitual dieters or bodybuilders attempting to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But now, nutritional and sports supplements have become so popular that Duke students do not even have to leave campus to obtain them. Quenchers in Wilson Recreation Center, for example, sells products such as whey protein and creatine on FLEX or food points.

Franca Alphin, clinical associate and registered dietician at Student Health, urged students to rely on actual meals for their nutritional needs and to exercise caution if using supplements.

“Students forget that supplements are, in fact, just that—supplements,” Alphin said. “They are intended to supplement your normal dietary intake.”

Most individuals, even those who exercise for an hour each day, do not need to take any supplements other than a multivitamin, Alphin explained.

Unlike the typical Duke student, elite athletes who compete at the Olympic or varsity level might actually require dietary supplements. The situation arises because the human body cannot naturally keep up with the physical demands of such training, Alphin said.

Even at Duke, varsity athletes receive nutritional advice from Alphin and other experts.

But due to prolific advertising in magazines, on television and

“When students see a web page that says, ‘How to get a ripped body,’ of course they are going to be intrigued,” she said.

Jack Chao, manager of Quenchers, expressed similar concern for the use and potential misuse of supplements.

“Most of the time, students come in knowing what they want and having researched it them-

selves a bit,” Chao said, noting that he often directs students to Alphin for more information.

The most common health problem students encounter when taking supplements, Alphin said, is dehydration.

Students who consume caffeinated drinks, alcohol and large amounts of protein are especially susceptible to the problem.

And as students use suppletheir ments to improve physiques, exercising only worsens dehydration. By sweating, students lose even more water.

But not every supplement has the same effects.

While products such as creatine are used to build muscle, others promise “extra energy” or “weight loss.”

Yet supplements are not always as wholesome as they seem.

“When you see the word ‘energy,’ it means either calories or caffeine is at work,” Alphin said.

The recommended dosages listed on supplement bottles are also, at times, misleading. By SEE SUPPLEMENTS ON PAGE 9

U.S. promises enforcement in trade with China Martin Crutsinger THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

by

s

s

WASHINGTON The George W. Bush administration declared Tuesday that the United States has entered a new phase in its economic relationship with China and promised “rigorous enforcement” of laws aimed at curbing unfair trade practices.

The pledge was contained in a 29-page administration review of America’s economic relationship with China that was released four days after the government reported NICHOLAS KAMM/AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE that the United States recorded a $202-billion trade U.S.Trade Representative Rob Portman announces the creation of a taskforce to ensure Chinese compliance with global trading rules Tuesday. deficitwith China last year. That’s the highest ever recorded with a single country and up 25 percent from 2004.

That deficit has brought renewed pressure from Congress for President Bush to be more forceful in cracking down on what China’s critics see as blatant unfair trade practices in currency manipulation, theft of intellectual property and China’s refusal to honor all the marketopening commitments it made when it became a World Trade Organization member in 2001.

U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman, whose office prepared the new review, said the administration intended to use “all options available” to address various problems with China.

“Our U.S.-China trade relationship lacks equity, durability and balance,” Portman said at a news conference. “As a mature trading partner, China should be held accountable for its actions and required to live up to its responsibilities.”

Portman announced creation of a trade enforcement task force in his office that will be headed by a chief counsel for China trade, a new position.

He called it unprecedented for the USTR to devote an enforcement team to a single country. He said previous administrations had not done this when the United States was running huge trade deficits in the 1980 and 1990 with Japan.

Portman said the administration intended to focus on getting China to stop thefts ofintellectual property, which American industry contends is costing billions of dollars in lost sales annually. It also will focus on persuading China to honor the market-opening commitments it made in joining the WTO and halting various government subsidies to Chinese companies.

He said this effort would take on new urgency now that China has been a WTO member for four years, a transition period when it was supposed to phase in various commitments to open its economy.

Chu Mao-ming, a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington, said he could not comment directly on the new report because he had not yet seen it. But he said China did not want to “politicize trade issues. We hope that trade relations between China and the United States will be conducted under the principals of development, equality and mutual benefit.”

Democratic critics of the administration’s trade policies faulted the report for failing to announce trade cases that wouldbe brought immediately against China before the WTO. “After reading the report, I have to ask—where’s the beef?” said Rep. Benjamin Cardin oTMaryland, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means trade subcommittee.

“The administration promises no new enforcement of trade laws, no new action in the WTO and no further steps to combat China’s unfair trade practices.”

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y, said the report contained a major omission by not discussing China’s practice of depressing its currency’s value against the dollar to gain trade advantages.

“It is amazing that in a comprehensive 29 page report, the trade representative fails to mention the 800 pound gorilla in the room —how China manipulates its currency,” said Schumer, who is sponsoring legislation to impose 27.5 percent penalty tariffs on Chinese products unless the country changes its currency policies.

AFL-CIO President John Sweeney criticized the report for having “gaping holes when it comes to protecting workers’ rights and working families’ interests.”

Sweeney said the report devoted too much emphasis to the concerns of corporations and did not say enough about Chinese violations of workers’ rights and currency manipulation, which he said were the biggest contributors to the loss of an estimated 410,000 U.S. jobs to China in recent years.

“We had catching up to do,” Powell said. “With these new renovations, this doesn’t just catch us up, it puts us at the forefront.”

The telemetry hub and chest pain center were two particularly necessary additions, Powell said, because they help increase patient safety.

The telemetry hub features remote cardiac and oxygen saturation monitoring and recording.

It will allow doctors to observe patients’ cardiac signs from most locations in the hospital, even if the patients are in a different wing or being moved for testing.

The chest pain center is a six-bay observation center for patients who present themselves to the Emergency Department with signs of a heart attack, among other problems.

“We expect to have more time and resources to dedicate to caring for and educating each patient,” Dr. Robert Buchanan, chief of cardiology at Durham Regional, said in a statement.

“Additionally, these capabilities will decrease waiting time in the Emergency Department and are expected to increase patient satisfaction.”

DRH’s lobby also underwent renovation earlier this year. A coffee bar will be completed within several weeks.

Katie Galbraith, director of marketing and corporate communications for DRH, said all of the renovations are part of a larger goal of increasing patient satisfaction and comfort.

Judge Raid Juhi, a court spokesperson who investigated the Dujail case, told reporters of Ibrahim’s attire: ‘You must have noticed that all the defendants wore appropriate attire. Defendant Barzan (Ibrahim) wore what he thought was appropriate.”

“Bear in mind that most supplements tell you to take more than you need,” Alphin said, suggesting that only half of the recommended amount be used.

Junior Christopher Daubin follows this guideline when he takes creatine and protein for recovery after workouts.

“Creatine was kind of scary, so I just took less than what they recommended on the bottle,” he said. “I do that with most of the stuff I take. I’ll take three pills instead of nine, for example. My main worry is hurting my kidneys or liver.”

Saddam said he had not eaten in three days, while Ibrahim said he had been on strike for two days. Two other defendants, Awad Bandar and former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan, also said they were on a hunger strike.

Their claims could not be confirmed. Although the defendants are in Iraq’s legal custody, they are being held in a U.S. military detention facility. There was no comment immediately available from the Americans.

Juhi did not deny the defendants were refusing food when asked about the strike after the day’s three-hour session.

“This is an administrative problem that the court is working to verify and it will work also to solve it... with the responsible parties in the custodial authorities,” he told reporters.

“But, as you could see, the defendants are in good health,” he said.

Ibrahim complained that he and other defendants had been forced to attend the proceedings against their will.

THE CHRONICL,E

RETENTION from page 1 universities is the second worst thing that can happen to you,” said George McLendon, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences. “The worst is having nobody wanting to recruit.”

During the past decade, the number of retention cases in the Trinity College ofArts and Sciences has, generally, increased dramatically. Such cases arise when a faculty members are offered jobs at other schools but opt to stay at the University.

Trinity currently has approximately 600 faculty members out of 964 total at the University, according to officials. Former Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe, who served from 1995 to 2004, said the school had 15 retention cases in his first year as dean and between 45 and 50 in 2004. Trinity experienced a 75- to 80-percent retention success rate during his career, Chafe reported.

McLendon said that out of the 12 retention cases Trinity faced last year, only two professors left.

“In most cases where we try to retain someone, we do,” McLendon said.

Provost Peter Lange noted that the University has regularly “fought off offers from Harvard [and] Yale.”

Indeed, Duke is a popular fishing pool for faculty, and top administrators generally do not believe outside institutions’ interest in Duke faculty is going to diminish.

‘You know who the most talented faculty are,” Chafe said. “They’re the most likely to be recruited.”

Making them stay Duke Law Professor Erwin Chemerinsky is one of those sought-after professors.

Chemerinsky has been featured as an expert in constitutional law and recendy testified in confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.

He is also currendy one of three finalists for the deanship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law. Although Chemerinsky said he is honored by the nomination, he also said he is “not looking for change” and is “tremendously happy at Duke.”

Several administrators have noted that they would like for Chemerinsky to stay at Duke, as he has made “significant contributions” to the University community, but they have not disclosed any tactics involved in his potential retention.

But the University does have methods of keeping its faculty.

Lange explained that in the past administrators have used incentives such as offering promotions and bolstering specific concentrations within departments in order to convince faculty to stay.

Although Lange also mentioned that salary raises have played a key role in retaining some faculty members, McLendon noted that money is usually not at the heart of the retention issue.

“Usually, it’s about the professor’s belief that they have the ability to make a difference,” McLendon said.

If Duke administrators respond to outside pressure and invest in a specific professor’s retention, the University expects another commitment in return, he added.

Under new protocol implemented upon McLendon’s arrival as dean, the retained faculty member signs a “morally enforceable document” confirming that he will not “entertain another offer for five years,” he said.

The ethically binding document is beginning to gain popularity at other institutions, McLendon said.

Chafe added that the recent surge of interdisciplinary collaboration—evident in such entities as the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and InternationalStudies and the Center for Documen-

Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences George McLendon works to keep top-notch faculty at Duke. tary Studies—has encouraged retention.

A positive by-product of convincing faculty to stay—usually through strengthening their fields of concentration—is the overall improvement of that academic area, which ultimately helps invigorate the University, McLendon said.

Lange noted, however, that it is critical to be proactive in the retention game.

“We try to figure out what the things are that make people want to stay,” he said.

Chafe said it is a matter of making sure Duke measures up to its peers.

‘You have to ensure that your institution has the intellectual quality and promise of growth that’s not found at other institutions,” he said.

Knowing when to let them go McLendon noted, however, that administrators do not necessarily try to retain every faculty member who is thinking about leaving.

“We try to look at, ‘what important role does this faculty member play at Duke,’” McLendon said, He said the University makes special attempts at keeping professors who are great scholars, teachers and citizens, Sometimes, however, other institutions make offers some professors just cannot refuse. “If some other school thinks they’d be a good fit there, maybe they would be better elsewhere,” McLendon said. “If they would be happier somewhere else, it’s okay.”

When he made the decision to leave his position as a professor in the chemistry department at Princeton University for his current post at Duke, McLendon said it was like comparing “apples to oranges.”

“I either wanted to be a part of the vision at Duke or continue teaching chemistry at Princeton,” he said.

McLendon added that he did not even want his former institution to try to counter-offer.

“I neither asked for nor received a raise,” he said. “For someone to leave, the offer would have to be so attractive that it wouldn’t make sense to stay.”

But McLendon noted that although the possibility of losing beloved professors is never implausible, it is not something that consumes his thoughts, “I’d hate to lose any of them, but I can’t go to sleep worrying about [all] of them, so I don’t worry about any of them,” he said.

Blue Devils overpower Lancers in Ist game by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

The women’s lacrosse team took a few minutes to work out its first-game Jitters, but it was smooth sailing from there as Duke won its season-opener in dominant fashion.

The No. 2 Blue Devils (1-0) downed Longwood (0-1), DUKE 19-3, at the New LONGWOOD 3 Athletics Complex in Farmville, Va. “It was kind of the typical first game of the year,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said.

“It was a little sloppy. Out of the gate, we had a few too many turnovers for my liking but that’s typically what you expect in the first game of the year. There were some nerves and we were away, but overall I was really pleased with the way we played.”

Lancer junior Cathleen Strain scored the first goal of the contest just 3:35 into the game. But then the Blue Devils, who are coming off their best season in program history, took over.

Duke scored nine straight goals, including four from junior Kristen Waagbo, to take a 9-1 lead into halftime. Waagbo, the team’s second leading scorer a year ago, also added two assists.

“It was a very fast paced first half,” Kimel said. “We did a great job of pressuring them into turnovers on defense and were JuniorKristen Waagbo, who was Duke's second-leading scorer last season, scored four goals Tuesday. able to capitalize on them.”

turns in net, Duke had to replace four key players from the defensive unit.

“I felt like in the first half, when they didn’t have a lot of action, they were a little unorganized,” Kimel said of the defense. “We were not as poised as I think we’re capable of playing. They saw a little

more action in the second half when we started subbing more. I really thought they made Longwood earn their goals.”

Huether finished the game with six saves and only allowed one goal.

Duke also forced 16 turnovers, many of which were converted into fast breaks and unsettled situations, particularly during the team’s nine-goal spurt in the first half.

The Blue Devils ended the game with a 35-19 shot advantage.

“We were able to run through a lot of our stuff,” Huether said. “I give [Longwood] a lot of credit, they went hard the entire time. It was really good for us to see a team that really pressured us a lot. They did a really good job of forcing us to play strong and keep coming at them,” After grabbing their large first-half lead, the Blue Devils were able to give some of their freshmen some game experience.

Kimel said her team has enough depth and talent to match up with nearly every team in the country.

“The first couple of games this season, we’re still trying to work with different combinations and see who works well,” Kimel said. “We might win games 19-3 and there may be times where it is not pretty lacrosse, but we’re working through our substitution rotation and all of this will eventually settle in.”

torinoolvmpics2oo6 from associated press Ligety captures gold.

Miller disqualified ALPINE SKIING Ted Ligety gave the United States the Olympic gold medal that Bode Miller couldn’t deliver, putting together the two fastest slalom runs of the day to win the men’s combined and break the Americans’ misfortune in Alpine skiing.

The 21-year-old from Park City, Utah, had a combined time of 3:09.35 seconds for the downhill and two slalom runs.

Ivica Kostelic of Croatia won the silver medal and Rainer Schoenfelder of Austria the bronze.

Austrian favorite Benjamin Raich, who was the last contender down the mountain as the leader going into the final slalom run, skied off course, sending Ligety into an explosion of joy at the finish area.

Miller was disqualified for straddling a gate in the first slalom run, just when he seemed to have built a commanding lead for his elusive first Olympic gold medal.

The disqualification gave the lead temporarily to Raich, who had trailed Miller by nearly a second.

SPEEDSKATING Svetlana Zhurova, a 34-year-old Russian who took a break from speedskating to have a baby and regained her top form only recently, won the gold medal in the 500 meters.

She skated a combined time of 1:16.57 seconds to give Russia its second speedskating medal of these games. Dmitry Dorofeyev won silver in the men’s 500 Monday.

Zhurova was matched with China’s Wang Manli in the final pair and beat her to the finish line after 11/4 laps in 38.34.

Wang was timed in 38.47.

Wang earned the silver in 1:16.78. Ren Hui of China took bronze in 1:16.87.

Zhurova had a child in 2003 and returned to win the world sprint tide last month.

LUGE Sylke Otto became the second women’s luger to win consecutive golds, leading Germany to its sixth medal sweep in 12 Olympics.

Courtney Zablocki of Highlands Ranch, Colo., was fourth to match her best international finish, but it wasn’t enough to crack the top three against the powerful Germans.

Silke Kraushaar won a record third overall medal and Tatjana Huefner edged Zablocki for the final podium spot. There have been 36 medals awarded in women’s Olympic luge history—27 have been won

by Germans.

Zablocki couldn’t snap America’s perpetual singles luge medal drought—that all-time total remains at zero.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY Canada got its first challenge—and finally allowed a goal—in the Olympic women’s hockey tournament. The goldmedal favorites barely seemed to notice in another dominant win.

Gillian Apps scored three goals, Danielle Goyette added two more and Canada (3-0) finished the preliminary round with a victory over Sweden (2-1).

Svetlana Trefilova and lya Gavrilova scored two goals apiece to lead Russia over Italy. The teams had each lost two games to start the tournament, being outscored by a combined 42-1. Sabina Florian scored in the first period to give Italy a 1-0 lead—her team’s first goal of the Olympics.

REDICK

After the game, the entire team stayed on the floor, as former record holder Curtis Staples and athletic director Joe Alieva walked to center court, holding the game ball. Redick walked from Duke’s bench to receive the ball from Staples.

The greatest three-point shooter in NCAA history held the ball aloft with two hands, then cradled the ball under his arm while he pointed and nodded at the fans. And as he looked up, holding the ball, following his third-to-last home game, he looked ready to shed a few tears.

“No, I wasn’t tearing up,” he said after the game. “Before tonight we were saying we had three more times in this building, so I’m sure at some point in time over the next few weeks I’m going to get emotional.

It wasn’t tonight. It wasn’t tonight. But I will get emotional.”

In the locker room, the Blue Devils seemed honored to have had the opportunity to play in Redick’s record-breaking game. Guard Sean Dockery said watching his good friend and freshman-year roommate break the record was an emotional experience for him.

“You always see these things in highlights—coming up, you know, 20 years

JJ. Redick's three-pointer with 7:56 to play in thefirst half gave him the NCAA record for career threes.

M. BBALL from page 1 pie weeks.”

Redick, however, owned the night, as he broke the NCAA career three-point record with 7:56 remaining in the first half when he curled off a screen and buried a three over Gray. The senior went 4-for-9 from beyond the arc to finish the game with 416 career threes. The NCAA mark was previously 413, held by Curtis Staples, who attended the contest and awarded Redick with a game ball in a postgame celebration.

“To have JJ. break that record is an amazing thing,” Krzyzewski said. “I was telling the team in the locker room afterwards when a player sets a record like that or a coach wins a certain amount of games, it is a team effort.”

Redick did not rest on his laurels for a single play, as seconds after breaking the record, the senior jumped out in front of Harvey Hale’s pass to Trent Strickland.

Redick took the steal down the court and finished a three-point play to give Duke its largest lead at that point. The All-American racked up 33 points on 11-for-18 shooting.

Redick’s record-setting night overshadowed perhaps the best game of Josh Mcßoberts’ young career. Mcßoberts was perfect for the night, shooting 5-for-5 from both the floor and the free throw line. The freshman’s 16-point game included two highlight-reel dunks, one off an alley-oop from Shelden Williams and the other over Kyle Visser.

“I think Josh’s play in the first half, especially right before he got into foul trouble, just really ignited our team andjust gave us a lot of energy,” Redick said. “That’s something that his plays can do—they’re ‘Wow’ plays —and that alley-oop was one of the nastiest dunks I’ve seen in awhile. He was great tonight.”

Mcßoberts was a point away from tying his career high despite playing only 20 minutes due to foul trouble. He picked up

from page 11

.

his fourth foul less than three minutes into the second half, but went on to play nearly 10 minutes without registering the dreaded fifth foul.

“He got disciplined when he got the fourth foul, but he has got to play that way when he has one foul, because we need him,” Krzyzewski said.

Tuesday’s game continued the recent trend ofbalanced scoring for the Blue Devils. Shelden Williams scored 16 and DeMarcus Nelson added 10 in what Krzyzewski called “his best game” of the season. It was the fourth time in five games that four Duke players have reached double figures.

The Blue Devils led by 19 with two minutes left in the first half, but Wake Forest went on a 9-1 run that spanned halftime to bring the score to 52-41.

“That seems to be our problem right now—we can’t close out the first half,” Redick said. “And that’s a time that past teams that I’ve been on and past Duke teams have used to really put teams away.”

ago this guy did this record,” point guard Greg Paulus said. “To be a part of it and to have him be such a good guy as well as teammate, it’s something that he’s really proud of and I know that we’re really proud of him.”

Staples—like Redick, a Roanoke, Va. native—was not the only Virginia prep legend the Duke superstar passed last night. On an otherwise unmemorable three-pointer in the middle of the second half, Redick moved past Bryant Stith—a guard/forward at Virginia from 19881992—for fourth place on the ACC’s alltime scoring list.

Redick and Stith, though separated in age by 14 years, share a connection.

“He was a little bit before my time,” Redick said of Stith. “But we both played for [coach] 800 Williams for AAU, so I got to hear a lot of stories about him and how much of a killer he was.”

After the game, Redick talked about his path to breaking the national three-point record. He credited his decision to devote himself to Blue Devil basketball following his sophomore season—“giving my heart to Duke,” in his words.

It was an oddly appropriate choice of words on Valentine’s Day, when Redick’s record-breaking performance gave Blue Devil fans a lot to love.

there will be tangible costs to themselves otherwise. A atmosmore responsible phere will result —one intolerant of deliberate destruction and mayhem.

Unfortunately, the same policy that was used to deal with Giles may not be as easily applied to acts of vandalism on West Campus. In the case of selective houses, there exist relatively self-contained communities of people who can be held responsible as a group, as there are in East Campus dormitories. Many quads and halls, howler, are so vast—and their residents largely anonymous to one another—that to impose collective responsibility akin to the situation in Giles would be unfair.

The repeated destruction

on the McClendon walkway likewise requires a different approach. Eddie Hull, dean of residence life and executive director for housing services, has named surveillance cameras and removal of the furniture as two options.

It is unfortunate that a lack of personal responsibility has led to consideration of these actions.

The sanctions imposed on Giles signal a creative way of developing responsible communities in which peers hold each other to standards of proper behavior—or report those who vandalize. This model may not be appropriate for all situations, but where it is applicable, it should be considered by RLHS in the future.

Addressing the "I" of LGBT In

line with its conservative nature, Duke has a very small LGBT community. Given the relatively weak voice of the gay students, it is not surprising transgender issues are usually overlooked by the administration.

stricting access to residents 24 hours a day.

Should it be applied campuswide, this policy, some may argue, would likely have little effect in deterring the people responsible for acts of vandalism. However, it creates an incentive for residents of a particular living space to be more vigilant in enforcing standards of behavior and reporting the individuals who violate them.

An intoxicated and impulsive vandal may not consider the costs he is accruing to his dorm when deciding to put cake batter on the walls and posterboard in the oven. But those who witness such crimes or know who is responsible will be more likely to take action if they believe

As a start, I propose the creation of two gender-neutral bathrooms in the West Union building.

gender-neutral bathrooms are an easy solution.

It would be hard to oppose this measure. We are talking about 13) a mere two bathrooms that are 14) direcdy connected to the LGBT Center. The cost of this conversion would be minimal (15) —they just need to be relabeled and cleaned, which should happen regardless.

This would leave plenty of traditional bathrooms, and chances are, if you are opposed to this idea you are not going to be using the LGBT Center bathrooms anyway.

Girls afraid of unclean or unsafe restrooms should note that 16) their restrooms usually contain the most germs already, and 17) I know of no incident where a trans person was not on the receiving end of a violent incident.

Even if you are discriminatory, then 18) at least people you don’t want in your bathroom will have a sensible alternative.

These gender-neutral bathrooms are symbolic as well as practical. They would 19) demonstrate our understanding and acceptance of trans/questioning students and 20) attract top LGBT applicants in the future.

However, a mere two genderneutral bathrooms are just the tip of the iceberg for what I hope will eventually happen: gender orientation added to our non-discrimination policy, unisex bathrooms in all future buildings, open-gender housing and the easy changing of school records and IDs. I like gender; I just think people can choose the gender appropriate for them and still be treated decendy by our society. I hope this column will raise awareness of the need to address the “T” of LGBT at Duke and build support for gender-neutral bathrooms.

THE CHRONICLE

lettertotheeditor Two corrections about Duke’s apparel policy I was pleased to see the front-page story in Tuesday’s Chronicle, “Duke Signs New Apparel Policy.” Since 1999, when Duke became the first university in the nation to require specified working standards in plants that manufacture apparel with Duke’s logo, the University has been a national leader in the anti-sweatshop movement, as have Duke Students Against Sweatshops.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of errors in the story. The article mistakenly indicated that, “... the number of manufacturers of Duke logo apparel will be slashed by 25 percent... .” Under the pilot program we have agreed to develop, Duke will require that 25 percent of the production of Duke logo apparel be moved to a smaller number of designated factories that meet all of our requirements and which can more easily be monitored.

The article also attributes a statement that misrepresents Duke’s position on collective bargaining issues.

Duke is not opposed to unions or to collective bargaining. Indeed, we feel it is important that workers have the right to determine for themselves whether or not they wish to bargain collectively through a union without being dictated to do so by Duke. The proposal that was presented to us by Students Against Sweatshops specifically mentioned unions as the appropriate representative group, and, for the reasons noted above, I removed that reference.

Faced with extinction

Are

Germans an endangered species? This provocative question was the lead of a recent Reuters article about Germany’s shrinking population. Between 2003 and 2005, the number of people in Germany fell by 82,000, according to Germany’s Federal Statistical Office.

Germany has gone over the hill. Birthrates have fallen below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman needed to sustain a stable population.

“Germans are at risk of dying out if the trend continues,” the article quotes Harald Michel, managing director of the Institute for Applied Demography, as saying It’s rather extreme preeti aroon to predict a world de. aim tor the stars void or Germans—and their tasty pretzels, boisterous Oktoberfests and cute umlauts. But I can relate to the uneasiness ofrealizing you’re part of a group that seems to be dying out.

I’m the member of what might be an endangered species. I belong to a linguistic minority group that makes up about 0.05 percent of the world’s population. My family speaks a language called Konkani. I’m passively fluent in the language; I understand it when it’s spoken, but I can’t speak it (go figure).

Unlike Germany’s case, though, Konkanis aren’t at risk of dying out because of falling birthrates, but, rather, because of intermarriage.

For generations, Konkanis married Konkanis. It made perfect sense to marry someone who spoke your mother tongue and shared a similar culture.

Now days though, as young Konkani adults migrate from rural areas to big cities, to other Indian states and to other countries, and as they seek to marry whomever they want (as opposed to following the tradition of arranged marriage), more Konkanis are marrying people who aren’t Konkani. Consequently, their kids don’t learn the language since it’s not the one spoke in the home.

(In my case, both my parents speak Konkani, but growing up in the United States—away from a larger community ofKonkanis—the best I could do was learn to understand the language.)

So, due to intermarriage and migration, fewer children in each subsequent generation may speak Konkani; fewer may identify as Konkani.

The result: Konkani could be a dead language, possibly \

~

,

by the next century.

It’s kind of freaky to think that I may belong to a dying breed—that I’m one of the last people with any degree of fluency in a language that may be going the way ofLatin and Sanskrit.

What’s even freakier, though, are some of the extremist ways in which some people react when they feel threatened by extinction.

Consider what’s on the mind ofLamb Gaede ofBakersfield, Calif.,; “The white race is becoming extinct, and we’re trying to fight that. My biggest fear is that by the time I’m old, the white race won’t even exist anymore.”

As members of the musical duo Prussian Blue, Lamb and her sister Lynx —who were featured in the Feb. 9 issue of Recess —sing songs promoting racial separation.

Birthrates among white Americans have been below replacement levels since 1971, writes Phillip Longman, author of the book The Empty Cradle. He conjectures if U.S. fertility patterns approach those in western Europe, we might see increased xenophobia and racial tensions.

I really hope we don’t go down that route. In an era of globalization, it doesn’t make sense morally or eco-

nomically.

I also hope we don’t try to put women back in the home to make more babies. Rather, falling birthrates provide an impetus for more family-friendly work policies such as increased opportunities for part-time work and affordable daycare. At a time when working adults may have to pay higher taxes to support pensions and healthcare for elderly baby boomers, it hardly makes sense to pull women from

the labor force.

For me as a Konkani, I accept that change is simply part of the human condition. It’ll be a little sad if one day there are no more Konkanis, but I don’t think thatjustifies an extreme response, such as eschewing intermarriage.

Fear of change is natural. In the play The Fiddler on the Roof, the Jewish father feels tom between adhering to the tradition of arranged marriage and allowing his daughters to marry men with whom they’re in love. In Thomas Friedman’s book The Lexus and the Olive Tree, the Lexus represents the dizzying pace of globalization while the olive tree represents the tug to stay rooted in tradition.

As Germany and other industrialized countries face population decline, let’s hope that fear of change doesn’t lead to draconian reactions.

Fight the doldrums

I

need to apologize for my last column. Even I screw up from time to time. Yet I hope to redeem myself by taking responsibility for my actions.

(Insert generic uninspiredjab at George W. Bush here.)

Two weeks ago I committed a great error. I made assumptions that shouldn’t have been made, and wound up looking like a fool for it.

I speak, of course, of the tagline of the OJays timeless ballad “For the Love of Money.” I suggested that the song’s was classic mantra need “neeeeeeed, green.” The correct greg czaja lyrics are, of course, the czaj factor “lean, mean, mean

green.”

I apologize profusely.

Of course nobody actually called me out on this error—l discovered it myself. It just goes to show you that kids these days have no respect for the oldies.

I hope we can put this debacle behind us. Now we can move on to a new topic of discussion: the February Doldrums.

Let me set the stage for you. It was nine o’clock last Saturday night, and I had no idea what I wanted do with my evening.

Why was I so perplexed?

Was it because I’m a man, and guys never know what they’re doing until the last minute?

NO. Get off my back, woman.

Was it because, despite having imbibed absolutely nothing the night before, I still managed to sleep until 1:30 in

the afternoon, and spent the rest of the day wandering around in a haze of grogginess?

Much more likely.

Anyway, I cruised the halls in search of social outlets.

Let’s just say I was I shocked by my friends’ evening destinations.

Bostock. K-Ville. Bostock. Bostock. K-Ville.

That’s it.

Now from these responses, I can think of two assumptions you might make.

One, my friends and I are total losers. It’s quite possible.

Two, in February, the social scene takes a serious nose dive.

Now we all know how I feel about Bostock. It’s great—just not on Saturdays. Of course, one of my friends came back from “Bostock” totally smashed.

There’s a good chance that he’s just a dirty, rotten liar, but then again maybe Bostock truly is Party Central.

As for K-Ville, I know that it is definitely a rowdy scene during personal checks. That said, I hope you understand that there are some nights when I’m just not in the mood to see my toes turn blue.

So for people like me, February can be a really slow month. The reason for this is clear—the social scene’s dependence on greek life. After all of the time, effort, money and alcohol that has been spent on rush, the time has come for fraternities to sit back, relax and pledge their freshmen. The University briefly suffers as a result.

There are exceptions, of course. Pike threw a party, albeit off campus. The Asian Students Association put together a great LNY show.

The general ennui on campus, however, is tangible.

I can feel it around me. The cold temperatures, the

short days, the mounting pressures and the exhaustion of rush have taken a toll on us all.

So what can we do?

We could give in. We could invest the rest of our precious weekend hours cooped up in a dorm room, or in Bostock or in the gym. We could spend the rest of our winter with XBoxes, books and dumbbells as our only

companions.

Or we can fight back.

We can affront the pitch-black February night with a celebration that burns brighter than a million suns. We can warm the frigid air with a radiance all our own. We can roar into the silent darkness, “We are ALIVE, and we fear nothing,” until the upper reaches of the heavens reverberate.

My friends, at this time of the year, it is so easy for us to lose our collective zest and verve. The moments we have to celebrate are few and far between. That is why when we are afforded these opportunities, we must capitalize upon them.

This weekend, I want you to celebrate something. It could be your friends, your significant other, your school, your fraternity, ARAMARK, Corp., Larry Moneta, the ALE or anything else.

Alcohol need not be a part of the equation (but it can help). You should be loud. You should be among friends. You should be joyous.

Believe it or not, the days are getting longer. Let us greet the light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh, and try to keep the party out ofK-Ville. I’m running out of extra-warm socks.
