The undergraduate Young Trustee selection Feb. 15 seemed to have gone off without a hitch.

But now, some students are questioning the events that led to Brandon Goodwin being awarded the position over fellow seniors Hirsh Sandesara and Chris Kallmeyer.

Concerns have been raised about the overall voting process and propriety of having Duke Student Government senators vote on the issue.

“I was just expecting members of DSG to be more fair,” said senior Rashmi Vyas, a voting member of the Intercommunity Council, which narrowed down the field of Young Trustee candidates during a month-long selection process.

The final vote at the DSC meeting was conducted on tom sheets of notebook paper passed out to those in attendance, and even some students who were not eligible to vote received ballots.

Bush shrugs off dissent to port deal by

Ted Bridis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Brushing aside objections from Republicans and Democrats alike, President George W. Bush endorsed the takeover of shipping operations at six major U.S. seaports by a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates. He pledged to veto any bill Congress might approve to block the agreement.

The president defended his administration’s earlier approval of the sale of Londonbased Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co. to Dubai Ports World, despite concerns in Congress it could increase the possibility of terrorism at American ports.

The sale—expected to be finalized in early March—would put Dubai Ports in charge of major shipping operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. “If there

was any chance that this transaction would

jeopardize the security of the United States, it would not go forward,” Bush said.

“It sends a terrible signal to friends

around the world that it’s OK for a company from one country to manage the port, but not a country that plays by the rules and has got a good track record from another part of the world,” Bush said.

To assuage concerns, the administration disclosed some assurances it had nego-

tiated with Dubai Ports. It required mandatory participation in U.S. security programs to stop smuggling and detect illegal shipments of nuclear materials; roughly 33 other port companies participate in these voluntarily. The Coast Guard also said Tuesday it was nearly finished inspecting Dubai Ports’ facilities in the United States.

A senior Homeland Security official, Stewart Baker, said this was the first-ever sale involving U.S. port operations to a state-owned government. “In that sense this is a new layer of controls,” he said.

Baker added that U.S. intelligence agencies were consulted “very early on to actually look at vulnerabilities and threats.”

3 charged with planning attacks in Iraq

by M.R. Kropko THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Three Muslim men from the Middle East have been charged with plotting attacks against U.S. and coalition troops in Iraq and other countries.

One of the men, a citizen of both the U.S. and Jordan, also was accused of threatening to kill or injure President George W. Bush.

All three had lived in Toledo within the past year and were arrested over the weekend—two in Toledo and one in Jordan, authorities said.

An unidentified person with a military

background helped the U.S. government foil the plot by working with the suspects while secredy gathering evidence, according to the indictment.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales also did not exclude the use of wiretapping in the investigation but said prosecutors were careful not to jeopardize the case.

“This case stands as a reminder of the need for continued vigilance in the war on terrorism,” he said. One of the men’s lawyers said Tuesday that the government was overzealous in bringing the charges.

“It doesn’t help that he’s Jordanian,” attorney Steve Hartman said of his client. “I

think he’s caught up in the Justice Department’s vigorous work.”

The three pleaded not guilty in federal courts, and the most serious charges could bring life in prison.

Gonzales and otherofficials refused to say whether an attack was imminent. FBI agents monitored the defendants for about a year and a half, Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Morford said at a news conference in Cleveland.

“What we can tell you is, from the indictment, it’s very clear that their activities and their intentions were to reach beyond our border and were to kill and maim persons overseas,” Morford said.

The Duke University Writing Program, currendy located at the Bell Tower trailers on East Campus, will move into the nearby Art Building in Fall 2006.

Renovation of the Art Building began Monday, with the process ofasbestos abatement. Project completion is scheduled for mid to late summer, said Bob Barkhau, director of facilities for the School of Arts and Sciences.

partisan reform, Price said, but President George W. Bush and advisor Karl Rove stepped in and prevented lowa and New Hampshire from losing their highly lucrative primary positions.

Price went on to praise the “delicate compromise” the commission hammered out on the heated issue. lowa and New Hampshire will maintain their frontrunner status for at least another election, but it will be easier for states with diverse populations to have earlier primaries.

After the first few states hold elections, the problem of frontloading arises—a situation in which each state desires to hold its primary as early as possible in the election season to have the most influence on the nomination process.

Consequently, the commission created

One day after filing for re-election in Raleigh, U.S. Congressman and former Duke professor David Price, D.Dist. 4, spoke in Rubenstein Hall Tuesday night. He described recent changes he helped make in the presidential nominating process.

Price, co-chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Commission on Presidential Nomination Timing and Scheduling, talked about adjusting the rules of the primary season to create a winning presidential candidate with national appeal. The current system is biased toward lowa and New Hampshire, two “non-diverse” states, he said.

Price explained how the commission made three key changes to the nominating process by diversifying the early contest of state primaries, spreading out the calendar of primaries after lowa and New Hampshire and promoting more bipartisan cooperation for reform.

The commission spent 90 percent of its time focusing on the early portion of the nominating process, Price said.

He described lowa and New Hampshire as two “non-representative, small states without rich ethnic traditions [positioned] at the front of the nomination calender year after year.”

While Price said he does not believe every state could possibly play a role in the presidential nominating process, he does believe the system can be more representative.

Price recalled the vehement opposition his commission faced when attempting to make any changes that affected the two states’ roles at the beginning of the election season.

Price said the situation is contentious, as both lowa and New Hampshire “jealously guard against changing the current system,” which allows substantial sums ofmoney to pour in each Presidential election.

Although the current location has not caused any inconveniences, faculty and staff said they look forward to the move.

“It shows the support from the Duke administration for the Writing Program,” said Joseph Harris, director of the Writing Program. “It will be a central and vibrant space.”

The move comes as the program is garnering national attention. It was recently awarded the Writing Program Certificate of Excellence by the Conference on College Composition and Communication.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation and the North Carolina Medical Society Foundation said they expect their grants to help increase the number of rural doctors in the state from 100to 160 by 2010. They hope with more doctors the number of patient visits will jump from 400,000 to 700,000 a year in parts of the state where some patients typically have to drive at least an hour to see a doctor.

No one would ever expect the general who led the Union army to victory in the Civil War to have a debilitating fear ofblood.

But Ulysses S. Grant was among the 49 percent offormer U.S. presidents afflicted by mental illness, according to an article published recently by psychiatrists at the Duke University Medical Center.

Jonathan Davidson, professor of psychiatry and director of the Anxiety andTraumatic Stress Program, has a particular interest in history, especially U.S. presidents.

After culling data from presidential biographies, Davidson was joined by Kathryn Connor, associate professor of psychiatry, and Marvin Swartz, professor and head of the social and community division of psychiatry, to analyze the information. Together, they diagnosed the commanderin-chiefs from 1776 to 1974.

According to the study, published in January in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, of the 37 presidents researched, 18 were found to suffer a mental illness of some form. Depression was the most prevalent disorder among presidents, occurring at a rate of 24 percent.

The researchers wrote that the 49-percent rate mirrored national mental illness statistics, but the rate of depression was high for a male population.

“A fairly high number of people have mental disease at some level, so it would be surprising if presidents didn’t,” said John

Aldrich, professor of political science. “Certain things, like depression, are associated with artistic accomplishment.”

Other diagnoses included anxiety, alcohol abuse, bipolar disorder and social phobia. Howard Taft apparently suffered from sleep apnea.

At least 10 presidents were affected by episodes while in office, and the study found evidence that symptoms interfered with their performance in almost all cases.

To make their diagnoses, the researchers used the criteria of the DSM-IV, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual all psychiatrists use to treat

patients. They examined the data to

identify symptoms, determine if

they were persistent and caused

dysfunction and then establish their own levels of confidence that mental illness existed.

Such remote diagnosis through secondary research, however, can be problematic.

“Using biographical materials may be an imperfect way to gauge mental illness,” Aldrich said.

Swartz explained that detailed analysis of primary sources, while ideal, was outside of the scope of the study but that the published article elaborated on its own relevance and weaknesses.

‘You have to rel- on what historians reported based on their research,” he said. Still, Swartz estimated that their sources erred on the side of undercounting illness among presidents.

The troubles of certain presidents are already very well known. Abraham Lincoln famously suffered from symptoms of depression, though he triumphed politically more than Franklin Pierce, whose more modest legacy the study attributed greatly to his illness.

Having witnessed the violent death ofhis son in a railway accident just before he assumed office, Pierce suffered from symptoms indicating depression or post-traumatic stress during his term. The study noted that his associates accused Pierce of being a different person than the one who had energetically campaigned for office.

While personal tragedy and the weight of the presidency may have incited the problems of some presidents, others were apparently afflicted long before they moved into the White House.

According to the article, contemporaries of Grant, James Madison, Rutherford Hayes and Woodrow Wilson who watched them as young men would have thought that these men would do very little with their lives based on their seeming mental problems or deficiencies.

Whether they were suffering from an illness before they entered the White House or not, SEE PRESIDENTS ON PAGE 10

COOK from page Students sit in at UNC newspaper to protest cartoon A group of students staged a sit-in Monday night at the offices of The Daily Tar Heel, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s student newspaper, calling for its editors to print an apology for running a cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad.

The DTH published the cartoon Feb. 9. Its publication came during an ongoing, violent uprising in protest of Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten’s decision to print cartoons of Muhammad.

The group of about 20 UNC students said they would not leave the DTH offices until Ryan Tuck, editor-in-chief,

agreed to apologize.

“Though I apologize to anyone personally offended by the image s publication, I will not apologize that it was printed,” Tuck wrote in his online editor’s blog.

If there is no apology issued, protest organizers said they will call for the DTH to withdraw support from the paper.

The protesters were permitted to remain in the newspaper offices so long as they were not in the way.

The Muslim Students Association at UNC did not endorse the protest.

Court will not hear case about college newspaper reviews The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to decide whether university administrators can censor campus newspapers by insisting they be approved by the administration before publication.

The justices refused to hear an appeal brought by three students in a case questioning the First Amendment free speech protection for reporters and editors at college newspapers.

Two editors and a reporter at the Innovator, the student newspaper at Governor’s State University in University Park, 111., published articles in 2000 criticizing the administration. One centered on the decision not to extend to contract of the newspaper’s adviser.

In response, an administrator called the newspaper’s printer and asked for it not to print any copies of the Innovator unless approved by the university. The students, however, refused to submit any of their work for approval, and three subsequently sued the school’s dean of student affairs and other officials for maintaining an unconstitutional system of prior restraint.

The case was dismissed in federal court, Attorneys for the students said in the appeal that the initial ruling “threatens to restrict substantially the freedom of expression on college and university campuses throughout the nation.”

“It’s a very inspiring and humbling experience,” Cook said about the annual dinner held in his honor. “The symbolism is profound in terms ofDuke. It builds on Duke’s great tradition of decency and humanity.”

Many attendees acknowledged that the event was one of the most important days of the year for the University.

“This is the occasion to celebrate the distinguished past and the obligation to [eliminate] barriers,” said President Richard Brodhead, who joked that he was not aware that “Samuel Dußois Cook Day” was a holiday at Duke when he first arrived in 2004.

Cook was also president of Dillard University in New Orleans from 1974 until 1997. Brodhead said Cook provided Duke with a “living connection” to the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe that ravaged the Gulf Coast and forced Dillard to close during fall 2005.

A few ofCook’s first students spoke of the lasting effect

their former political science professor had on them.

“He was a very animated professor,” said Anne Workman, Women’s College ’69. “Forty years later how many professors do you remember? I remember Dr. Cook.

[He] has remained my favorite professor while at Duke.”

Workman noted that during her Duke years “a Yankee was pretty exotic” to the almost exclusively Southern, white student body. Nonetheless, Workman said that, to her knowledge, none of her fellow classmates took issue with being taught by a black teacher. “I had certainly never been to school with [blacks] and had never been taught by any.

It was liberating to be brought into an integrated world,” she said. “Dr. Cook’s great attraction was that he showed us an entire world we had never been exposed to.”

William Yaeger, Trinity ’69, spoke highly of the racial changes that have occurred on campus in the past 40 years and the effect the University and its students have had on those changes. “I live in this community, and it’s a reflection of the community as well,” he said.

The society will host a colloquium Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. entitled “The Underrepresented Majority in Math, Science and Engineering” in Griffith Theater.

Federspiel personally chose not to cast a vote. “However, I would point out that given the nature of the ballot... whether or not I received one would have very little effect on whether I (or anyone else) was able to sneak a vote in or not,” Federspiel wrote in an e-mail.

Senior Logan Leinster, DSC vice president of community interaction and president of ICC, dismissed any suggestion of impropriety.

“When we took attendance, we checked the people who were not allowed,” she said, adding that the number of ballots counted were equal to the number of eligible voters present.

Some DSC members allegedly chatted on AOL Instant Messenger or surfed the Internet during presentation.

Another issue in question was the DSC senators’ objectivity regarding Sandesara, former president of Diya, and Kallmeyer, president of the Duke University Union, in comparison to their attitude toward Goodwin, who is executive vice president ofDSC. Vyas said the room felt more relaxed and informal during Goodwin’s speech.

“It was like [he] was talking to a group of friends,” Vyas said, noting that he made jokes to which the room responded.

Junior Felix Li, an ICC member, attributed Goodwin’s rapport in front of DSG to the fact that he may have felt comfortable speaking in a room of his colleagues.

“That is a sad fact of the nature of the beast,” Li said, noting that he did not think Goodwin’s selection was a reflection ofwrongdoing on DSG’s part. “If it was the Union voting and Chris won, I think we’d be having the same discussion.”

Bob Thompson, dean of Trinity College, believes the new building will help the program in various ways.

“It will help to consolidate the program more, show more permanence and importance to the program,” he said. “This is a positive development from a message standpoint, moral standpoint and function standpoint.”

The building will also help unify the now scattered faculty, administrators said.

“It will be nice to have everyone under the same roof,” said Michele Strano, a lecturing fellow who teaches Writing 20.

“There is now a natural division among the three trailers, you tend to only talk with those in the same trailer.”

At the Young Trustee selectionFeb. 21, some students did homework on their computers or chatted on AIM.

Li added that some DSG senators asked questions that could indicate a lack of understanding of the duties of a Young Trustee. “A lot of the questions in the meeting, they weren’t really something a Young Trustee would ever be addressing,” Li noted.

Vyas recalled some questions that centered on pre-major advising, tailgating and the “sophomore slump.” Vyas noted that such issues were “out of the scope” of Goodwin’s future duties.

Goodwin, however, said many of the questions dealt with issues a Young Trustee would face. “I was asked everything from how i thought pre-professionalism could be curved and how the Unicould ameliorate its versity preprofessional programs... [to] how I

could represent students from a wide variety of ethnic groups,” he said.

He also noted that prior to the selection meeting, the candidates met with DSG committees, the members of which read the candidates’ applications “in depth.”

In the end, the process was not perfect, but it certainly was not corrupt, said Jordan Giordano, a freshman DSG senator and interim ICC member.

“People are going to perceive this as DSG choosing a DSG person,” he said.

“But it’s impossible to get someone who doesn’t know anyone.”

There has not been a member of DSG’s executive board elected Young Trustee in the last five years, Goodwin noted. “I think history speaks for itself,” he explained.

faculty-student relationship. “Right now, we only see them when they’re dropping by to have a conference with a teacher,” Harris said of students. “As classes will also be taught in the building, we’ll see a lot more of our students more often.”

Faculty also hope the Art Building will bring a new, more esteemed, image of the department.

Strano said every time she had to tell students her office is actually in a trailer “[her] authority takes a knock.”

“The symbolic message of housing the Writing Program... in its own building is a sign of respect,” Harris said.

In the future, Harris hopes to expand the program, while holding onto the current

success.

“I want to continue the work that won the award, which is largely based around Writing 20,” he said. “I also want to increase working with faculty from other disciplines with more advanced writing.”

Every two-hour session begins with a short introduction of the featured wines by Jeff Goller, a volunteer wine instructor from Empire Distributors. Tuesday’s wines included two varieties of Spanish red wine and a California Chardonnay.

“Some weeks, they really get into it and can ask some really intelligent questions,” Goller said. “They do get kind of rowdy by the end, but it’s all in good fun, and I think they learn something in the end.”

But not everyone shows an eagerness to learn about wine culture.“We don’t even taste the wine anymore,” sen-

ior Daniel Hodges said. “We just pound [it].”

Some students showed up at the event slightly inebriated, while others used the wine and drinks from the bar to prepare themselves for later outings.

“I learned that if you come on a week when there aren’t that many people here, you get three times as much wine,” senior Bailey Jones said.

Senior Ashley Martens planned on going to Sirens Lounge with her friends after the wine-tasting session Tuesday. “I think it’s a great excuse to get drunk while pretending to get cultured,” Martens said.

Despite the motives, conversation flowed like the wine, and students shared memories from years past as the night progressed.

“I come in every Tuesday, and I feel I can sit anywhere and talk to people I’ve known for four years,” senior Maria Sodini said.

Senior Sara Oliver added that since busy schedules can often interfere with socializing, “it’s nice to slow down once in a while and appreciate the friends you made at Duke —and get drunk at the same time.”

The combination Oliver described may have led to senior Chris Brian’s mock proposal to Oliver in front of everyone who attended the wine-tasting session three weeks ago.

“The only reason why I remember it is because someone videotaped it,” Brian said Nevertheless, the two will be hosting an “engagement party” atParizade next week, Oliver insisted.

The weekly wine tasting has brought together many groups of friends who hope it will only add to their many memories of Duke.

“It’s like the Olive Garden,” seniorKevin Coleman said “When you’re here, you’re family. It’s great.” t

SUMMERS from page 1 controversy, sparked debate and a no-confidence vote from Harvard’s Faculty ofArts and Sciences March 15, 2005.

This month, tensions reached a boiling point when it was leaked that Summers had forced the resignation ofWilliam Kirby, the dean of the faculty ofArts and Sciences.

“For many of us that was the last in a series ofhigh administrators in the university who were asked to resign because [Summers] could not effectively work with them,” said Judith Ryan, a professor of German and comparative literature at Harvard.

The Fellows of Harvard College—who along with the president make up the Corporation, the school’s highest governing body —asked Derek Bok, Harvard’s president from 1971 to 1991, to take over as interim president starting July 1. A search committee will appoint a successor.

Keohane, a current member of the Corporation and professor of public affairs at Princeton University, could not be reached for comment. Although her experience leading both Duke and Wellesley College makes her a highly qualified candidate, top administrators at Duke doubted her desire to return to administrative duties.

“I know that she was not interested years ago when Harvard came after her and urged her to be a candidate,” said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “I cannot imagine the circumstances under which she would be interested in being the president of Harvard.... She is absolutely delighted to be out ofadministering and back to the life and mind of a faculty member.”

President Richard Brodhead said he expects Keohane’s name to top the list of possible candidates for any university president vacancy, but he added that he does not know she would seek the Harvard position.

Rumors swirled in the summer of 2000 thatKeohane was a front-runner for the position that Summers ultimately filled. At the time, Keohane had hinted that she would leave Durham at the end of the Campaign for Duke in 2003, and both she and her husband, former political science professor Robert Keohane, attracted interest from top universities.

After stepping down as president of Duke in June 2004, Keohane and her husband took a year ofleave before joining Princeton’s faculty in 2005.

“I’m sure some people would consider her as a candidate,” Ryan said. “She served as president of two institutions, and I think she would be a splendid choice.”

Ryan has been one of the leading proponents advocating for Summer’s resignation. She called his announcement Tuesday appropriate and courageous.

The Fellows of Harvard College said in a letter that Summers brought “extraordinary vision and vitality” to Harvard during his five years in office. Summers said he sought creative means to attain lofty goals, adding that “there surely have been times when I could have done this in wiser or more respectful ways.”

Summers will take a year of sabbaticalbefore rejoining Harvard’s faculty as .one .of 19 elite professor?. .

presidents’ afflictions raise questions about their ability to do the executive job.

“The extensiveness of Richard Nixon’s alcohol abuse was pretty remarkable and alarming, given the authority he had,” Swartz said.

Though Calvin Coolidge’s hypochondria may not have had the most profound effect on affairs of state, Coolidge, Grant and Thomas Jefferson were diagnosed with social phobia by Davidson and his associates.

“Social phobia is kind of remarkable in a president. It meant he was shy and avoided social circumstances, and yet he was president,” Swartz said.

■ The study noted among its implications that no national calamities seem to have been a result of presidential mental illness.

It also considered the possibility that knowledge of these afflictions might lessen the stigma of psychological treatment. But there remains a question about the public’s right, and need, to know the psychological state of the president, in an age of increased psychological vigilance.

“It’s obviously about as stressful and physically demanding a job as there is for mature adults, so it has to at least exacerbate any [already existing] problems,” Aldrich said. ‘You know, the president is not a person, he’s an institution.... There are a lot of checks and redundancies to make sure he doesn’t do anything foolish.”

The audience listens as Rep. David Price discusses Congressional reforms to presidential primaries.

PRICE from page 3 what Price called a “more robust system” in which states that hold later primaries can get more delegates for national conventions. Under the new system, no more than five state primaries will be allowed in one week.

Price further criticized the current presidential nominating process, claiming that because state primaries and caucuses are bunched up so early, presidential candidates are selected as early as March, thus eliminating any political purpose of a party’s national convention.

“There is no mystery whatsoever about anything from the Democratic or Republican conventions. The televised event has become a pageant,” he said. “There is not a hint of dissent.”

Price said his speech covered a topic people do not pay much attention to but should, considering the consequences and controversy surrounding it.

Despite the somewhat obscure topic, many audience members were intrigued by a speech that could broaden political discussion on campus.

“It was interesting to hear about an arcane issue not many people know of,” said Luke Wang, School of Medicine ‘O5.

Some, however, felt the speech could have focused more on current issues. “I wish he could have talked about the last election and how we wound up with [John] Kerry as a candidate,” said sophomore Jane Chen.

Price serves on the House Appropriations Committee and its HomelandSecurity and Military Quality ofLife/Veterans Affairs subcommittees. His constituency includes all ofDurham and Orange counties, part ofWake County and a small section ofChatham County.

He taught political science and public policy at Duke before he successfully ran for Congress in 1986. He has served nine of the ten terms since. Price has authored four books on the American political system.

The senior class needs just five wins to become the winningest class in program history.

“They have each meant something so special not just to this team, but to this program over their four years here,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “They have each taken separate paths to get to this point, but the things they have in common are their leadership abilities and their mental and physical toughness.”

Currie could have graduated last year but after missing the 2002-2003 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, she utilized a fifth year of eligibility to return this season. The All-American leads Duke in scoring and is coming off a career-high 43 points at Miami Sunday.

seven players have been given the golden ticket. Only 11 players have been given the honor in over 100 years of Duke basketball. So it seems kind of crazy to suggest that two players graduating in the same year are worthy of Duke’s highest basketball honor.

Well, what JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams are doing this season, and what the two have done in their careers is just that—crazy.

The question for Redick is not if but when. It is commonly accepted that the powers that be (Read; Coach K and only Coach K) have already decided that no one will ever wear No. 4 for Duke again. A banner commemorating his incredible career will hang in Cameron forever.

The real question is whether the Landlord will receive the same honor. At first glance, it seems questionable whether Williams belongs in a group that includes names like Battier and Laettner, but when a thorough examination of his career is conducted, his legacy at Duke is pretty hard to ignore.

By the time he leaves Durham, Williams’ name will be engraved in Duke’s record books nearly as many times as the name ofhis Jump-shooting teammate. The Landlord is already the leading shot-blocker in the history of the Blue Devils and is on pace to set the career rebounding mark during the NCAA Tournament.

In terms of scoring, Williams has averaged 13.4 points per contest for his career and has a total of 1,728 points, putting him 18th on Duke's scoring list.

ASU holds off Duke in final round

Pirates sink Blue Devils in blowout win

Lane Towery THE CHRONICLE

The women’s golf team was unable to climb out of second place at the Arizona Wildcat Invitational Tuesday, finishing at 6under par, six strokes behind winner Arizona State.

Duke pulled into first place on the front nine of the final 18, but no Blue Devil shot under par on the back nine, as the team relinquished the lead to the Sun Devils.

‘You’ve got to hand it to ASU, they played great golf,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “My hat’s off to them.”

After winning the first three fall tournaments, the No. 1 Blue Devils returned from the winter off-season to post their secondstraight runner-up performance of the 2005-2006 schedule.

“Obviously a win would be better than second, and this team likes to win,” Brooks said. “So there’s definitely some disappointment. There has to be.”

But not all was lost. Duke was one of only two teams under par for the tournament and finished 13 strokes ahead of third-place California.

“We shot 6-under in very different conditions than we’re used to,” Brooks said.

“We got a lot of birdies this tournament. I watched some good golf.”

Duke’s top three golfers, freshman Amanda Blumenherst, junior Anna Grzebien and senior Liz Janangelo, all finished in a three-way tie for eighth at 2-under par.

Blumenherst, the NCAA’s top-ranked golfer, dropped three places after shooting even par in the final round—her only round not under par.

The Pirates batted around in the third inning, scoring four times to take a 5-2 lead. Three doubles and one of the Blue Devils’ four errors aided the East Carolina assault.

More of the same occurred in the fourth, as two more doubles and a Tousley two-run home run led to four more Pirate runs.

Duke (2-4) got a run back in the top of the fifth on a leadoff homer from freshman Tim Sherlock, but East Carolina responded with three more in the bottom of the frame. A six-spot in the sixth and a lone run in the eighth culminated the Pirates’ offensive explosion.

Freshman Jennie Lee, ranked 28th in the country, rounded out Duke’s scoring and finished in 14th place.

Even after three months off and tough playing conditions in Durham, Brooks insisted that the winter off-season did not affect the defending NCAA Champion Blue Devils.

“We take advantage of the harder conditions and say,‘Let’s get tough,”’he said, “We come into tournaments with a tough state of mind.”

Brooks did add, however, that his team was not used to the warm weather and sunny conditions in Arizona.

ATTENDANCE from page 11 feel lack in support,” Jandl said. “And we felt like it was beneficial to increase the women’s basketball support.”

Even though student attendance is not tracked, the overall attendance figures at women’s basketball games have increased this season after a drop last year. In 20032004, the Blue Devils enjoyed the program’s highest average attendance with 6,237 fans per contest, but that number plummeted to 4,966 last year. This season, however, the attendance is back up to 6,083 per game, and Cameron has been sold out for games against Tennessee and North Carolina.

“I’ve seen the student section filled a lot more than it has been in the past,” senior guard Monique Currie said.

“It’s nice to see students come out and check us out sometimes. It’s an advantage for us. People always talk about how tough it is to come in here to Cameron and play against our fans. Our fans give us a lot of extra energy and a lot of extra support that help us play better on the court.”

The initiative began when Bart Smith, the director of promotions for the athletic department, said he was look-

ing for ways to bolster home attendance and draw more fans to games. His department was already promoting the team by selling ticket bundles to businesses outside of Duke, like the Coca-Cola Company. The firms distributed the tickets to employees or returned the extra tickets to the athletic department, which in turn gave them to charitable organizations around Durham.

The Inferno, the official student club of Duke Athletics and the Iron Dukes, and Lauren Troyer, the head line monitor, have each encouraged student attendance at women’s games as well. But Smith said he was still searching for ways to increase undergraduate attendance even further.

He sat down with Kristina Johnson, the Dean of the Pratt School of Engineering and an avid women’s basketball fan, who suggested the Panhel women’s initiative.

When Johnson raised the idea in front ofPanhel members as a means of supporting the women’s basketball team, the idea was accepted.

Jandl said the participating sororities plan on continuing this program in the future.

“I think this is the start of an increased support of women’s basketball,” Jandl said. “It shows people how important and fun the games can be, and how good it can be to support the women’s team.”

game over the last three years and has increased her scoring each season. In Foley and Williams’ careers, Duke has compiled a staggering 120-12 record and has never lost to 10 of the ACC’s 12 teams heading into tonight’s home finale.

“I don’t think emotion is going to take us over just because we have a whole lot of season left,” Williams said.

“We plan on playing 10 more games in this season so Senior Night being early is actually good for the team, that way we can get refocused.”

Virginia Tech will not be in awe of the celebratory atmosphere, however, as it seeks a marquee win to boost its NCAATournament resume. The Hokies, who feature the ACC’s top rebounder in Kerri Cardin, rank 16th in the RPI despite currently sitting seventh in the conference standings.

“They are just a feisty team and they are trying to make the tournament, so they have a great sense of urgency,” Williams said. “Coming here and knowing that it’s Senior Night and there are a lot of other things going on, they are going to try to take advantage of our position, and we have to be ready for them.”

The Blue Devils looked as if they would blow out the Hokies Feb. 6 in Blacksburg, Va. Duke led by 17 early in the second half, but Virginia Tech went on a 10-0 run to make the game interesting, before the Blue Devils reestablished control and won 73-62.

Carrie Mason, who went 4-for-4 from three-point range in the last matchup, will likely be the focus of Duke’s defense. Offensively against the Hokies, the Blue Devils will look to repeat the advantage they held in the paint, where Williams and sophomore Chante Black combined to score 26 points.

“That needs to be a focus for us,” Goestenkors said.

“We need to make sure we work the ball inside-out and take advantage of our size.”

break Hemric’s half-century-old mark against a Yellow Jacket team that Hewitt said has improved significandy in its most recent games.

Georgia Tech is 1-3 over its last four contests, but all three losses were on the road and were by a total of just 11 points.

The win, over N.C. State Feb. 12, was the Yellow Jackets’ first conference victory in more than a month. Before beating the Wolfpack, they had lost eight consecutive conference games since defeating Boston College Jan. 8 in their second ACC game of the season.

“I’m happy with the fact that our players have not put their heads down obviously, and they’ve continued to play hard,” Hewitt said. “We’ve made some lineup changes and guys have responded to coming off the bench well and guys have responded well to getting the opportunity to start. But all in all, its disappoint-

what we’re capable of.”

After a 17-point home loss to Miami Feb. 4, Hewitt shuffled his lineup. Guard Mario West and forwards Lewis Clinch and Theodis Tarver moved into the starting lineup. Forward Jeremis Smith and guards Zam Fredrick and D’Andre Bell now come off the bench.

All three of the players demoted from the starting lineup still get significant playing time —only Bell has averaged fewer than 20 minutes per game over the team’s past three contests.

“When you bring a guy like Jeremis Smith off the bench you’ve got a guy that’s a strong rebounder, a very strong offensive player and that is strong with the ball,” Hewitt said. “And Zam Frederick, it’s helped him a lot to try to keep his minutes down a little bit.... We’ve gotten some improved depth out of it and just the quality of the play has improved.”

McRoberts has emerged as an offensive threat for Duke, averaging 11.7 points over the last six games. The Yellow Jackets have very little experience down low after losing Luke Schenscher and Isma'il Muhammad to graduation.

Morrow is the second-leading three-point shooter in the ACC, but is light years behind Redick. Zam Fredrick started much ofthe season at the point, but has since moved to the bench as West has taken over the starting role.

Lee Melchionni has struggled for Duke, shooting just 20 percent from beyond the arc and failing to score in double figures in the last nine games. The Yellow Jackets' bench has three players who have started more than 10 games this season.

16|WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22,2006

YAFFE from page 11 game, he’ll finish as the I2th-best scorer in Duke history, ahead of Grant Hill, Dick Groat, Jeff Mullins and Bobby Hurley—four of the retirees.

And it hasn’t been a down period for the conference.

He has had to guard and has been guarded by some of the best big men in the country during his stay in the ACC. Games against Sean May and Eric Williams aren’t exactly a great way to pad your stats.

He hasn’t been able to avoid these guys either. Since he stepped foot on campus, Williams has been Duke’s most talented forward, so May never spent any time guarding Nick Horvath or Lee Melchionni.

Last season, Williams became the first player under Krzyzewski to average in double-figures in both points and rebounding. Yes, that includes Laettner, Hill, Battier and even 1999 National Player of the Year Elton Brand.

This season, Williams is on pace to average a doubledouble for the second consecutive season. He has been slightly overshadowed, and rightfully so, by Redick, whose

dominance has been well-documented But Williams has performed at an All-American level this season, too. He is fourth in the ACC in scoring—a difficult feat when someone on your team averages nearly 30 points per game. He’s also leading the league in rebounds and shot-blocking yet again.

The common theory on campus is that Williams deserves his jersey retired only if he helps the 2006 squad to a National Championship. In fact, the retiree who played most recently and did not win a national title was Danny Ferry. Even though winning a championship should be one criterion, it should not be the only one.

Ferry, Johnny Dawkins and Mike Gminski all have been honored but wear no rings.

The only area where Williams will be outpaced by season’s end by any of these three is scoring. And that’s not entirely his fault. For four years, he’s had to play alongside Redick, the school’s all-time leading scorer, so there just weren’t enough points to go around.

If those three are good enough to be honored without a title, Williams should be, too.

Make some room in the rafters.

sis with which it has to deal, there is still a substantial amount of work to be done on this issue. It should not be taken lightiy.

First off, the report only highlights the existence of this problem.

It says nothing about the root causes behind it, especially whether or not it is being caused by gender discrimination.

The assignment of that cause to the problem at hand is a serious matter, and no one should be rushing to that conclusion just yet.

Further analysis could verify or refute the applicability of gender discrimination and would effectively clarify what exactly is causing female faculty members to feel

as they do. This climate survey should only be considered a starting point from which other action is taken.

Once the root causes are identified, the University administrators must employ every resource at their disposal in order to remedy the

problem.

Further surveys to confirm whether a problem exists is not what this issue requires, especially in light of the fact that the Women’s Initiative already identified this predicament almost three years ago.

It is time for more dialogue, more analysis and more action. Hopefully, the makings of a more conclusive report are in the works

already.

problem feel the same way: “These are not good findings,” Provost Peter Lange said at the Academic Council meeting last week. “These are findings that bring up concern,” he added.

The results are definitely worth looking into further, but it is safe to say that the University does not have a crisis on its hands. After all, although the female faculty members are less satisfied in several major areas compared to male faculty members, they were still neutral on average when it came to the question regarding how hard they have to work in comparison to their colleagues.

Although the findings of the survey do not indicate that the University has a cri-

nancy because of concerns about this negotiation.

As President Brodhead recendy brought up at a meeting with GPSC and DSG, a maternity policy for graduate students isn’t fully effective unless it also includes a delay in the “thesis clock,” as many universities now extend the tenure clock for faculty members who have children.

Students must meet certain milestones in graduate school, generally a candidacy exam and later a thesis defense. These milestones can sometimes have specific deadlines, such as a requirement to pass a candidacy exam by the third year in neurobiology.

The Graduate School guarantees funding for Ph.D. students for five years, after which some departments cut off all funding for students who have not yet defended. A maternity- or parentalleave policy should allow for a delay of the preliminary exam or thesis defense for students who have children. This could help Duke retain female students, who are differentially affected by

family obligations.

Whether parental leave policies should apply only to students who give birth or also

to

those who

adopt should be discussed as well, as students must adjust to family life after an adoption.

Fortunately, the incoming Dean of the Graduate School, Dr. Wright, has indicated an interest in looking into extending a parental-leave policy for graduate students. As vice dean ofbasic sciences for the Duke University School of Medicine, she has already ensured that many students are granted the same maternity leave rights as Duke staff members. I hope that all graduate students will be ensured the same rights in the near future.

Heather Dean is a graduate student in neurobiology. Her column runs every other Wednesday.

HIWV...

Keep ‘Monday Monday’ anonymous I am shocked and awed to see the editorial about ‘An Early Reveal’ (Feb. 20) of the ‘Monday Monday’ author(s). After flinging around the terms “wealth of information,” “tacitly accepting everything as true,” “credible,” “trust,” “reliable,” “source relationships” and “news stories” in a “logical order,” The Chronicle editors only makes clear that they have no capacity to undertand the actual issue at hand. ‘Monday Monday’ is a humor column. The measure of a humor column is and always will be whether or not the article is funny.

Jack Bauer’s Bidet is funny, and in suit with tradition, should be kept anonymous. Those offended should be invited to skip that article.

Explanation to seniors unable to get into game In response to the seniors who were unable to attend the men’s basketball game on Sunday, we would like to discuss several of the issues and concerns raised in Monday’s letter to the editor (.

Our plan for Saturday night was to distribute the 300 general student wristbands first and then begin the distribution of the 900 senior wristbands by swiping seniors’ DukeCards to verify their class. This orderly method for sequential wristband distribution has, without exception, functioned flawlessly in the past, and we had no reason to expect that distribution for this senior game would go otherwise.

What actually panned out was an unforeseen situation. Seniors who were not part of the first 300 students should have joined the back of the existing line and remained there. Instead, many seniors, most of whom were arriving from a senior party where free alcoholic beverages were available, made their way to the front of the line, crowded around us as we attempted to distribute these first 300 wristbands and refused to listen to the line monitors who repeatedly instructed them to join the back of the line.

The crowd became so disruptive that we could not effectively distribute the first 300 wristbands, and the option of calling the police was considered. In an attempt to remove the disorderly seniors from the front of the line, we decided to form a separate line. Hundreds of seniors, many of whom were intoxicated, were still not satisfied and quickly began mobbing the line monitors and forcefully taking wristbands without proof of class or line position. The process ended up taking at least 45 minutes to pass out the first 300 wristbands. In the meantime, seniors had effectively pinned line monitors on the stairs of Schwarz-Butters.

Had this gone as planned, die line monitors would have swiped seniors’ cards to verify their class, given them a wristband and calmly told them to return Sunday by 3:30 p.m. To those seniors with wristbands who did not gain admission to the game, we regret that you could not enter. We did not purposely reject seniors. In fact, any senior who joined the senior line as late as 4:45 p.m. (more than one hour late) was allowed to enter before the walk-up line. After diat point, our priority was the walk-up line.

The Class of 2006 e-mail—not from line monitors—implied that students inside the party would be considered as being in line and would be guaranteed wristbands. We wish we had been contacted to fact check, and we would have gladly requested that they mention the correct distribution procedure and the 3:30 p.m. line-up in this email. After receiving this email, we attempted to have another letter sent to the senior class to correct the misinformation and provide more details. Finally, we submitted our policy for the senior wristband line on Wednesday in the form of a letter to the editor of The Chronicle, and it did not appear in Friday’s paper or on the website.

Editor's Note: The word limit for this letter was waived.
