With a win against the North Carolina Saturday, the Blue Devils can secure the ACC regular season championship along with the top seed in the ACC tournament.

The Tar Heels, however, have proven to be a beatable opponent in recent contests.

“This game will decide who is the ACC champion,” senior guard Monique Currie said. “We know that we gave the game not

away the last time we played here, and we’re looking to redeem ourselves and come out with a win Saturday.”

After a 74-70 loss to the Tar Heels Jan. 29, Duke (25-1, 12-1 in the ACC) put its bid for a sixth-straight regular season title in jeopardy. However, when UNC (25-1, 12-1) lost to No. 4 Maryland, 98-95, in overtime Feb. 9, it gave the Blue Devils a second chance to stand alone at the top if they defeat the Tar Heels Saturday at Carmichael

At a general body meeting Thursday night, members of Campus Council expressed frustration over recently announced plans for a new Living/Leaming Community in Kilgo Quadrangle.

Members said Residence Life and Housing Services officials did not consult them about the living group, known as the Leadership and Civic Engagement Community.

The council voted unanimously to send a letter expressing its discontent to Eddie Hull, dean of residence life and executive director of housing services.

All members of Campus Council learned of the establishment of the LCEC in a Feb. 21 article published in The Chronicle, the letter stated. Council members said in the meeting that they felt cast aside and ignored during the decision process.

The letter—which refers to the lack of communication between Campus Council and RLHS as “irresponsible” and a “breach of trust”—put forth the council’s concept of an ideal relationship with RLHS. “The purpose of Campus Council is to serve as an advising role to RLHS,” the letter stated.

Philippines trying to halt coup

Iraq orders curfews after 114 die by

Robert Reid

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Gunmen killed dozens of civilians Thursday and dumped their bodies in a ditch, as the government ordered a tough daytime curfew of Baghdad and three provinces to stem the sectarian violence that has left at least 114 dead since the bombing of a Shiite shrine.

Seven U.S. soldiers died in a pair of roadside bombings north of the capital, and American military units in the Baghdad area were told to halt all but essential travel to avoid getting caught up in demonstrations or roadblocks.

As the country careened to the brink of

civil war, Iraqi state television announced an unusual daytime curfew, ordering people off the streets Friday in Baghdad and the nearby flashpoint provinces of Diyala, Babil and Salaheddin, where the shrine bombing took place.

Such a sweeping daytime curfew indicated the depth of fear within the government that the crisis could touch off a Sunni-Shiite civil war.

“This is the first time that I have heard politicians say they are worried about the outbreak of civil war,” Kurdish elder statesman Mahmoud Othman told The Associated Press.

The biggest Sunni Arab bloc in parlia-

ment announced it was

pulling out of talks on a new government until the national leadership apologizes for damage to Sunni mosques from reprisal attacks.

“It is illogical to negotiate with parties that are trying to damage the political process,” said Tariq al-Hashimi, a leader of the Iraqi Accordance Front.

Most of the bloodshed has been concentrated in the capital, its surrounding provinces and the province of Basra, 340 miles to the southeast.

Ports deal to be reviewed, delayed by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON —Officials in President George W. Bush’s administration opened the door Thursday to a delay in allowing a state-owned United Arab Emirates company to assume significant operations at six U.S. ports, as lawmakers pushed for a new 45-day investigation of the deal.

The company, Dubai Ports World, signaled to Congress that it, too, would be willing to agree to a delay while lawmakers review the business deal, which is supposed to be completed in early March.

“People don’t need to worry about secu-

Workers urge students to defeat labor exploitation Shreya Rao THE CHRONICLE

by

For 18 years, Fredy de los Santos Martinez said, he and other workers in the BS&B factory in the Dominican Republic worked under unjust labor laws.

But after achieving a victory for workers’ rights in his factory in 2001, Martinez and his labor union have a new problem.

And they are looking to U.S. universities including Duke —to help them.

Martinez, along with Josefina Hernandez Pence of the Mex Mode factory in Mexico and Joaquin Alas Salguero of Just Garments in El Salvador, spoke on campus Thursday evening as part of a national tour raising awareness about workers’ exploitation.

The event was sponsored by the Duke and national chapters of the Union of Students Against Sweatshops.

Laborers from three factories in Latin America speak about workers' rights and unions Thursday evening.

The three workers explained that while some factories have succeeded in organizing, few other garment factories in the world can claim the same success—an unacceptable reality, they said. As a result of the increased labor costs of factories that have organized for fair labor laws, corporations are outsourcing their business to factories where the exploitation continues.

The Duke chapter of USAS recendy celebrated a victory on campus, as Duke became the first university in the United States to sign a code of conduct vowing to move 25 percent of apparel using the Duke logo to factories where the rights of employees can be ensured.

Local bar scene illustrates Duke-Durham divide by

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

The room is packed. Music is pumping. Dozens of beer taps run the length of the wall.

Barbara Natalizio, a fifth-year graduate student in molecular genetics and microbiology, bends over the maroon pool table. Eyeing the cue ball, she lines up to send the 11-ball packing into the comer pocket.

She misses.

But hey, there will be plenty of other shots. She laughs, picks up her beer and saunters back over to her friends,

half-heartedly dancing.

This is Saturday night at Tyler’s Speakeasy in the American Tobacco Complex. It’s buzzing with Duke graduate

students who are part of Natalizio’s MGM program.

At least on her side of Tyler’s.

Just a few feet away from the Speakeasy is the restaurant portion of the establishment, where the crowd is distincdy older and more Durham.

The two sections of Tyler’s are different worlds.

The establishment is partitioned by a wall, but many other divisions are at work as well.

lives dissipating. “We don’t really make new friends,” Natalizio admitted. “I think most people keep to themselves. There’s the Duke crew and the non-Duke crew.”

For undergraduates, pretty much everything students need can be found on campus. This fact, coupled with the complex road system and sizable tracts of forest in and around the University, keeps the campus insulated.

Many students and Durham residents said this insularity is a major contributing factor to the debated but recognized town-gown divide.

But there is one thing students have to leave campus to find: bars.

Although the Armadillo Grill is known to serve up a tasty margarita, most students seem to prefer to venture off campus to quench their thirst for a bar scene.

Unlike the Speakeasy, not every Durham bar has such a mix of Duke students and Durham residents.

Many students commented on the marked difference between a weekend night at Shooters II and a weekday “off-night.” During the week, it is a Durham bar packed with local residents. But come Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, student groups often rent out the space, and the weekday clientele is hardly there.

Tinkling ivories helps Adams get policy post Gergen calls Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

For most people, music might seem an unlikely means of gaining major political connections.

But for sophomore Ben Adams, a talent in piano-playing allowed him to schmooze with the residents of the Governor’s Mansion in Raleigh—and ultimately turned into an appointment to a state-level policy-planning committee.

A native of Smithfield, N.C., a small town 60 miles east of Durham, Adams said he has been playing music for. as long as he can remember.

“When I was little, like three or four, my sisters would come home from piano lessons and practice their songs, and after they finished, I would sit up on the bench behind them and pick out on the keys the song they had just played,” he wrote in an e-mail.

His manifest talent in music grew into a cultivated interest, resulting in music lessons and two years’ studying at the Raleigh Conservatory ofMusic.

in Congressional race

I .f.si .re Griffith THE CHRONICLE

November may be eight months away, but for those eyeing a seat in Congress, election season has already begun.

Rep. David Price, the Democratic incumbent for Congressional District 4 the Triangle rehas g i on announced his intention to run for re-election.

In addition to Price, two Democrats and one Republican have officially filed their candidacy for the 4th District.

Prospective candidates may declare themselves in the running until the filing deadline at noon Feb. 28.

Price, who once taught political science and public policy studies at Duke, has held the 4th District spot for nine out of the 10 two-year terms since 1986. His one defeat came in 1994. In the last election, he defeated Republican Todd Batchelor by a comfortable margin.

Two major problems Price said he in-

tends to address are the budget and America’s stance in world opinion.

“We must correct America’s course fiscally and diplomadcally,” Price said in the statement announcing his filing.

Price has frequently returned to Duke for speaking engagements while in office. His last appearance at the University was Feb. 21.

After his speech Price addressed the main issues of his campaign.

He said he is seeking to establish a special counsel to evaluate the legality of the United States’ wiretapping activities brought to light in recent months.

“I don’t feel Congress has been doing its job in policing the president,” Price said of the effort.

Price also mentioned his continuing emphasis on education, which he has supported through the Teaching Fellows Act. He also emphasized his involvement with the Democracy Assistance Commission, a program to support parliaments in emerging democracies.

Democrats Kent Kanoy and Oscar ■Lewis are seeking to replace Price in the

upcoming term.

Lewis, who 'worked for Xerox but is now retired, served on Durham’s City Council from 1987 to 1991.

Get Ready fo —y

SEE ADAMS ON PAGE 7

He said national and local security and education were among his priorities.

Lewis added that he is confident the district will vote Democratic.

“It’s a safe spot,” Lewis said. “The district should give me a chance.”

Kanoy, a resident of Carrboro, N.C., is a social worker employed in Duke’s Personal Assistance Service, which provides counseling and help to Duke faculty and staff.

He was unavailable for comment.

The lone Republican in the field so far is Steve Acuff of Raleigh.

Acuff spent 30 years in the U.S. Air Force before retiring from the military in 1999. He has worked since then as operations manager for Express Food Group in Raleigh but is now on a leave of absence for his campaign.

Acuff said he is running for office in large part because it is “time for a change.”

“The Founding Fathers did not mean for us to have professional politicians,” he said. “Some of our problems are because people have been up in office too long.”

Neither of North Carolina’s U.S. senators are up for re-election this year.

Primary elections for other positions will take place May 2.

the Arab satellite television station AlArabiya.

Gunmen in a pickup truck shouting “We want the correspondent!” killed Bajhat, along with her cameraman and engineer, while they were interviewing Iraqis about Wednesday’s destruction of the famed golden dome, of the Shiite shrine Askariya in her hometown of Samarra.

Shiite and Sunni leaders again appealed for calm Thursday following the wave of attacks on Sunni mosques, and the number of violent incidents appeared to decline after the government extended the curfew.

Iraqi television said the curfew would extend until 4 p.m. Friday, preventing people from attending the week’s most important Muslim prayer service. Officials feared mosques could be both a target for attacks and a venue for stirring sectarian feelings.

President George W. Bush said he ap-

creating strife.

A Western official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, said discussions were under way to rebuild the shrine as quickly as possible because the shattered structure would serve as a “lasting provocation” until it was reconstructed.

Italy announced Thursday it was offering to rebuild the dome to help batde “fanaticism.”

Despite strident comments from various Iraqi leaders, U.S. officials said they believed mainstream politicians understood the grave danger facing the country and would try to prevent civil war.

“We’re not seeing civil war igniting in Iraq,” Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, a spokesperson for the U.S. command, told reporters.

Some students said they feel more comfortable going to bars where there are a lot of their peers.

“If you are a Duke student, you are so much more likely to go to Shooters or Devine’s [Restaurant and Sports Bar], because they cater to Duke students,” said Durham resident Kyle McLaughlin, Trinity ‘O4.

But McLaughlin said she prefers Joe and Jo’s, a cramped, friendly dive bar downtown with a relatively even mix of Dukies and Durham residents.

Betsy-Shane Rosenblum, a junior, agrees. “It just seems like Duke endorses certain places for us to go,” she said.

She placed her observation in the broader context of town-gown relations.

“I think Duke has the biggest fault in [messing] up Duke-Durham relations,” she said. “By the way, lam a die-hard Durham fan.”

A few blocks away, Durham resident Kristen Hill spends a lot of time hanging out with her friends in the the Down Under Pub, staying at the back where the speakers are not so deafening.

She cherishes the atmosphere of the small, loud and smoky room. Hill would rather like the place to stay the way it is, and she does not like it when Dukies crowd the pub. “This is a dive bar,” Hill said. “There are regulars who are here all year. When students fill the bar, the regulars feel like they are being pushed out.

There is a lot of resentment. I am not sure it’s a mature reaction, but for some reason there is a certain level of animosi-

20

ty. I’m not sure why, but people clash.”

This seems to be a recurring theme of Duke-Durham relations, on the bar scene and perhaps beyond: Dukies and Durham locals see themselves as different, and no one can really agree on why or how to remedy the resulting tensions.

Students who stumble into the Durham community searching for a good cocktail may not be finding solutions to the problems of Duke-Durham relations, but they are seeing and hearing them.

And they’re always glad they came.

WEBSITE from page 1 copyrighted. He has previously refused to comment on the nature of the private material.

The website was accessible through the University’s Intranet server, thereby making Duke liable for any legal repercussions. “The argument [in similar cases] was that the peer-to-peer network wasn’t doing anything, it was just the host,” Sidbury said. “Duke obviously, rightfully so, found they did not want to be hosting that.”

Sidbury added that it is unlikely that students who took advantage of the website will face any legal problems, as it would be extremely time-consuming for the media industry to receive information on all users.

“I think it would be logistically difficult for a record company to sue 1,700 faculty and students for copyright infringement,” Sidbury said.

He noted, however, that all computers have Internet protocol addresses, which function like fingerprints.

Record and movie companies could use these to locate individuals downloading from the server and could subpoena Wolf or the University for the IP addresses.

The likelihood of that happening, however, is fairly low, Sidbury said. “I don’t know if a record company would want to go head-to-head with a university,” he explained. “That’s not good from a PR standpoint.”

If the recording industry wished to press charges, they would direcdy notify the Office of Information Technology, Bryan said. OIT would then be in charge of addressing the subsequent situation.

Sidbury said he has noticed a spike in similar cases on college campuses nationwide.

Many schools have taken measures to discourage illegal downloading. “We’ve seen a trend where a lot of colleges and universities have been putting up firewalls to any peer-to-peer sites,” Sidbury said.

He noted that this would not have been feasible in Duke’s situation, as the website was accessible through an internal file server.

He said if legal measures are taken against users, it would be a potentially cosdy problem for those students, but he added that he hopes the University handles the situation internally. “If the industry found out about it and knew it was now resolved, they would probably be willing to let sleeping dogs lie,” he said.

Cases similar to Wolfs normally go through a University-run disciplinary process.

“Typically it’s not an offense for which a student is suspended or expelled,” Bryan said.

He noted diat when deciding punitive measures, the Judicial Board takes into account a student’s prior disciplinary history, response to the incident and level of cooperation. “For these kinds of violations the student is expected to no longer share that material,” Bryan said.

He added that repercussions of the violations would likely include a probation or warning.

Campus Council discusses the Living/Learning selective group that was recently added and will occupy prime space on Main West Campus.

CC from page 1 “This does not mean that Campus Council should be consulted only when RLHS deems it necessary. What this does mean is that Campus Council should be consulted on every major RLHS decision.”

Junior Jay Ganatra, Campus Council president, said he heard preliminary plans for the group months ago in a private meeting with Hull, and despite asking to hear more details as planning progressed, received no updates.

No high-level RLHS officials were present at the meeting, and some council members expressed frustration that Hull does not regularly attend meetings. Ganatra said he plans to speak with Hull upon his return from an out-oftown conference.

The only response he received from Hull after learning of the LCEC’s establishment was an automated e-mail reply, Ganatra said.

Ganatra considered the additional community significant because ofits location in Kilgo. The quad was renovated in 2004 and is adjacent to the new student plaza currently under construction. Furthermore, the LCEC’s section will face Main West Quadrangle.

groups. Campus Council has, however, been re-evaluating all facets of the selective living system, including the process for establishing new housing communities. Ganatra said although Hull has been aware of the council’s work, RLHS has not remained in contact with the group.

“It’s a communication issue,” Ganatra said. “We want to make sure we know what [Hull’s] expectations are and he knows what our expectations are.”

Ganatraadded that the current problem is the second major communication issue that has arisen between the two organizations this year. In September, Campus Council repealed a previous resolution to shorten the spring move-out period because it reflected miscommunication with RLHS and an inaccurate representation of student opinion, members said.

At the meeting, the council also passed a resolution by a 16-to-l vote to include an executive council advisor on each quad council next year. The position would be open to rising juniors and seniors opting to remain in their current quads for the following year.

The idea for the position was raised in response to the high turnover rate of quad council members each year. The problem has led to a failure in passing down knowledge from year to year. Council members said the new officer would be able to inform Quad Councils of what has worked and what has historically caused problems for each quad.

“We could add some continuity—an extra hand that knows the logistics of the quad,” Ganatra said.

ADAMS from page 4 name was given to the director of tours and event planning at the Governor’s Mansion. During the holiday season, he

was invited to play for social events at the governor’s estate.

The following year, Adams received a call inviting him back to the mansion for another event. This time, he caught the attention of First Lady Mary Easley, who asked him to become one of the family’s private performers. In this role, Adams has played for receptions, pre-dinner cocktails and private dinners.

“Ben Adams is a talented young musician,” Executive Mansion Tour Coordinator Pat Brock said. “Whether he’s playing classical, jazz or popular music, Ben has added a lot to any event we’ve had.”

Adams said he enjoys all the events for which he plays, but he especially likes those where the guests get involved.

He described one event during which a crowd of mosdy 60to 70-year-old guests began a sing-along to his piano playing.

“I normally don’t sing when I play, but there’s been a few occasions when I’ve been tipped in drinks, and after a few glasses of courage I’ve been known to sing a song or two,” Adams said.

Adams’ interests, however, do not end with music. A double major in public policy studies and political science, Adams became involved in juvenile justice when his high school principal approached him for a discussion about violence in his high school. In 2004, the same principal fol-

lowed up their conversation by proposing that Adams apply for the youth spot on the Juvenile Justice Planning Committee. The state-level board distributes funding—totalling between $1 and $2 million—to different organiza-

tions targeting the needs of at-risk youth, Adams said.

“I accepted the nomination and went through a screening process with several of the staffmembers at the Governor’s Crime Commission,” Adams said. “The application and screening process went well, and the committee approved my nomination.”

When it came time for Governor Mike Easley to review the nominations, Adams’ previous musical relationship with the governor proved a benefit.

“Since the governor recognized the name from the piano work, Governor Easley appointed me to the threeyear appointment in June of 2004,” Adams explained.

Adams said his work on the committee has been very re-

warding.

“Each meeting we have members from one of the programs that we fund come in and give a report on their program,” he said. “The people that I’ve met in these experiences are some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met.”

Currently, Adams is in the process of applying for the National Coalition for Juvenile Justice, an organization similar to JJPC but on a federal level.

have the time to get fully briefed on this.”

Lobbyists for Dubai Ports World indicated that while the company is eager to close the deal, itis willing to agree to a delay to satisfy demands by members of Congress, according to a person familiar with the conversations.

Nonetheless, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada sought quick action on legislation relating to the deal when Congress returns to Washington next week.

In a letter to Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., Reid said the administration’s handling of the deal “could not be more flawed.” Reid said he was alarmed at the failure of the administration to “exercise the full statutory authority to conduct a complete investigation into the potential national security implications of this deal.”

Also Thursday, administration officials said that weeks before Dubai Ports World sought U.S. approval for the deal, the UAE contributed $lOO million to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The administration said there was no connection between the request for U.S. approval of the ports deal and the UAE’s contribution.

The White House, which so far has gotten a total of $126 million in international donations, said the UAE’s contribution shows the close relationship between the two governments.

The deal allowing Dubai Ports World to take over significant operations at ports from New York to Miami has created an embarrassing standoff between the president and a Congress controlled by his own party.

Raising concerns about national security in an era of terrorism, Republicans and Democrats alike are crafting legislation blocking or delaying the deal with an Arab country tied to some of the hijackers from Sept. 11, 2001.

Bush had pledged earlier to veto such a measure.

Officials from the Homeland Security, Treasury, Defense and State departments appeared before Chairman John Warner, R-Va., and four Democratic members of the Senate Armed Services Committee for a briefing arranged while Congress was officially away from Washington.

The officials tried to assure the panel that the deal has been subject to a careful, three-month review and that all security questions were satisfied. They said no one raised an issue that would have prompted the need for a further,

45-day investigation.

“We’re not aware of a single national security concern raised recently that was not part of’ the three-month review, Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt told the lawmakers.

Democratic committee members accused officials of failing to take into account issues raised about the Arab country in the Sept. 11 Commission’s report.

Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the committee, derided the administration’s “casual approach” in approving a deal involving a country with an uneven record of battling terrorism.”

Levin at one point noted that the special commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks found “a persistent counterterrorism problem represented t>y the United Arab Emirates.”

SWEATSHOPS from page 3

ANTHONY CROSS/THE

CHRONICLE

Students Against Sweatshops sponsored three speakers Thursday. The trio encouraged students to support an end to exploitation in factories.

wages and organize in unions.

The group is advocating on campuses to influence the opinions of future leaders and to encourage other universities to follow Duke’s lead.

Jessica Rutter, national USAS organizer for programs and Trinity ’O4, and Allie Robbins, national organizer for development, explained that although the recent victory is a major step for the organization, its effects will be minimal unless other universities follow in Duke’s footsteps by enacting similar initiatives on their own campuses.

All three speakers were secretary generals of theirrespective labor unions and used Thursday’s presentation to recount their unique stories of the fight for basic labor rights.

Each shared equally chilling tales of abuse and exploitation.

Martinez recalled numerous occasions when the working conditions of his factory overwhelmed its employees.

“We frequently took workers, especially women, to the clinic because of fatigue and exhaustion,” he explained.

With the help of organizations like USAS, the unions of

Martinez, Pence and Salguero were able to realize their goals and ensure the rights of their workers.

For Martinez, however, the victory was not in the wages.

“The most important benefit we have received is our respect for our dignity as humans,” he said.

To avoid losses in their profits, many contractors have abandoned their support of union-sponsored factories in favor of cheaper available labor in countries like China and Vietnam. Today, many union-supported factories are being forced to face the reality of going bankrupt due to a lack of investment from companies, Pence said.

Salguero’s factory, Just Garments, has made significant progress —it is now managed by the workers—but it has suffered from the lack of corporate support.

“We have now been operating for two years but we have had no direct orders and no profit so we cannot improve the conditions in which we work,” Salguero said.

Nonetheless, the trio’s message was one of hope that students in the United States can help workers put an end to exploitation. “[Our message is] to maintain the fight. Wherever there is a just fight, support it,” Martinez said.

and received an honorary degree from Duke in 2001.

His speech was a candid one, drawing on his experiences and critically assessing what he feels has been the deterioration in media and government relations since the 19705.

“We are in an unhealthyrelationship today with the press, the government and the public,” Gergen said. “The national press corps doesn’t trust the government very much and doesn’t care for its policies or its politics, and the [George W.] Bush administration has a clear disdain for the press.”

He said the mutual respect that characterized the pressgovernment relations in the mid-20th century is a fundamental quality lacking today. Gergen stressed that the real loser of an antagonistic relationship between these two institutions is the public.

“The public believes that the press and the government each put their own welfare first and the country second,” Gergen explained. “It hasn’t always been this way. It need not be this way much longer, but change we must because we are hovering on the edge of a cliff. We know neither whom to believe, nor what to believe.”

Gergen said he believes that more than half the culpability for poor media-government relations today rests with the latter, but he made sure to emphasize thatboth parties are at fault to a certain degree.

His effort to remain balanced and impartial throughout the lecture—unlike the way he believes news organizations behave today —was part of his charisma and appeal to the audience, Junior Bryan Gordon said.

“His lack ofbias or slant to either side... made his discussion of the importance of the problem that much more insightful and credible,” said Gordon, who is reading Gergen’s book, Eyewitness to Power: The Essence of Leadership, Nixon to Clinton, in a history seminar.

The book, published in 2000, draws from Gergen’s experiences with the White House. He served as a White House advisor to Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. From 1984 to 1993 he worked at U.S. News and World Report In his speech, Gergen pointed out several societal consequences he believes will occur if media-government relations continue on the same path. He cited the recent incident involving New York Times reporter Judith Miller as an example of something that has the potential to spin out of control. “If journalists are going to be fair game for hauling people in front of grand juries and demanding they disclose their sources on any story of classified information, it will have a chilling effect upon the investigatory efforts of journalism to find out what is going on behind the veil of secrecy,” Gergen said. “That kind of world will dramatically change what we know about reality.”

A very disconcerting implication, Gergen said, is that people are beginning to want the administration to fail in its Iraq mission. He said it was disturbing for him to think that many people in the press would probably rejoice at the thought of the United States suffering a black eye, even though it is bad for the public interest.

He ended with a look to the future, saying that citizens will be called upon shordy to make very important decisions concerning the end of the Iraq conflict and the looming threat of Iran. He cautioned that the public must begin to make changes for the sake of the country’s reputation.

“A citizenry that can’t trust public information is a citizenry that is blind in one eye,” he said. “Nowhere is it foreordained that America will always be a great nation. We can be sure that if as a citizenry we go forward in this war with one eye blind, we will stumble ever closer to the edge.”

Rachel Bauman THE CHRONICLE

Five. A relatively meaningless digit, but for No. 2 Duke (1-0) it is

junior Dan Oppedisano winning 9 of 11 draws. After winning less than half of its face-offs last season, Duke made it a priority to improve in that department this year.

“I thought we came out with good levels of intensity and aggressiveness,” Pressler said after the game. “For a first game, we played pretty well, but we have a lot of areas to improve. We’ll take this one and move on to next week against a very good Villanova team.”

The five join the rest of a talented and self-titled “veteran team” to take on Villanova (1-0) Saturday at 3 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium.

“One of the secrets to last year is that we never got ahead of ourselves,” head coach Mike Pressler said. “We just took it one play at a time, one day at a time, one game at a time. And that’s the plan again this year.”

That strategy certainly worked in the Blue Devils’ last game, the team’s season opener at home against Butler.

It has already been has been quite a record-breaking year for Duke athletics, and the No. 2 women’s lacrosse team is poised to break another as early as its next game. Attacker Katie Chrest will set the program’s record for career goals with her next tally.

intensity game than anything we’ve seen this season.”

Duke began this season with two big victories, outscoring Longwood, 19-3, Feb. 14 and Richmond, 18-8, Feb. 19.

With her six goals against Richmond, Chrest—last year’s National Player of the Year—tied Duke’s career goal records with 161.

“Having played Richmond, who is a top-20 team, really showed us some things we need to improve,” Kimel said.

Duke hopes to display those improvements against the Terapins.

“We will probably have similar strategies,” said Kimel, a Maryland graduate.

Duke focuses on defense to stop 4-game slide by

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

Despite four straight losses and a 2-5 start to his Duke career, first-year head coach Sean McNally isn’t panicking.

“It’s a 56-game schedule and we’re seven games in,” McNally said. “With four or five games every week, we can get right back in it.”

That process starts Of 1 this weekend when the Blue Devils host Radford VS* (0-3) in a three-game se•'■gvm ries at Jack Coombs Field. The teams play Friday at 3 p.m., then play 1 FRIDAY, 3 p.m. p.m. games on Saturday SATURDAY, 1 p.m. and Sunday.

SUNDAY, 1 p.m.

The biggest problems Jack Coombs Field f or £) uk e during its current slide have been surrendering big innings and fielding poorly. Blue Devil pitchers have allowed four or more runs in an inning five times in the last two games alone. The inability to stop their opponents’ offensive momentum has been due in part to six Blue Devil errors in those two losses.

“More than anything else, we need to do a good job of catching die ball and throwing the ball over the plate and making them earn it,” McNally said. “It’s consistency.”

To that end, Duke will send junior

Danny Otero (1-0) and freshman Andrew

Wolcott (0-0) to the mound for the first two games of the series. Both will be making their first starts of the year, although each has been productive in relief. The duo has not given up an earned run in a combined eight and two-thirds innings this season.

The Blue Devils’ offense, meanwhile, has started to produce behind the surprising contributions of freshmen Tim Sherlock and Matt Williams. Sherlock has homered in two consecutive games while Williams went 4-for-4 in Wednesday’s loss to Elon.

“It’s nice to see them be productive in their first few games,” McNally said. “I can’t overstate how difficult it is to make the adjustment from high school to college. They’re off to a good start.”

Shortstop Brett Bartles has also provided an offensive spark, with four hits Tuesday and his second home run Wednesday. The Blue Devils have batted .291 as a team, a significant improvement over last year’s .264 mark.

“I’d like to see us put the ball in play with two strikes, situational hitting—moving the runners over and getting them in—and just making the routine plays on defense,” McNally said.

Radford visits Durham after opening its season with three straight losses at No. 13 South Carolina.

“I feel like we’re in control,” McNally said. “This is a process. We just need to play.”

The second day of the ACCs, hosted by the University of Maryland, featured the 200 IM, the 50 and 500 freestyle events and the 200 freestyle relay.

As a team, Duke sits in ninth place out of 11 teams with 54 points. The Blue Devils, who went 1-4 in ACC regular season competition, lead Boston College and Miami, neither of which Duke faced this year.

Florida State currently leads the fourday event, while regular-season champion Virginia sits in second.

McCafferty qualified for the bonus finals in the 200 IM with a career best time of 1:53.43, good enough for 23rd in the preliminaries. In the bonus finals, the junior posted a 1:54.36 time to maintain

his 23rd position.

The 200 freestyle relay team swam a season-best 1:24.15 to finish ninth. The team was anchored by sophomore Ryan Packer, who swam a 20.67 split to bring the relay into ninth place.

Packer enjoyed individual success as well, tying his career-best in the 50 freestyle at 20.95—the best time by a Duke swimmer this season—but he just missed the finals cut.

Senior Andy Storm also set a careerbest in the 500 freestyle, shaving .07 seconds off his previous best, but it was not enough to qualify for the finals.

Following McCaffertyV lead, eight other swimmers improved their times in the 200 IM. Junior Kevin Arthofer finished less than a second away from qualifying for the bonus finals with a time of 1:53.92.

The ACCs continue Friday with the 400 IM and 100 events in butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke.

W.LAX from page 9 prepared to do both offensively and defensively. We want to make sure we have the ball more than they do.”

In last season’s meeting, Duke defeated Maryland on the road, 10-7. Chrest scored three goals and goalie Megan Huether sloped seven shots. Duke raced out to a 7-1 lead before the Terrapins came back with five straight goals, but the Blue Devils were able to put them away.

This season, the Blue Devils’ seven returning starters and four preseason AllAmericans are further distinguished with three players on the Tewaaraton National Player of the Year Watchlist—Chrest, Huether and midfielder Rachel Sanford.

Huether, the reigning National Goalie of the Year, is also on pace to break Duke’s career saves record of 568.

The Blue Devils, however, are not focused on breaking records.

“Both Katie and Meg are concentrated on the team,” said Kimel. “Their focus is getting the team ready to play Maryland, to fulfill their role and play their best, and this is usually when they are most successful.”

Despite the personal pressures that come with approaching a program record, Heuther said winning remains her top priority.

Goalkeeper Megan Huether is on the Tewaaraton Trophy's preseason watchlist.

“I try not to really think about that kind of stuff because it can really play with your head,” Heuther said. “Personally I just go out every single day and try to give it my best.

the line,” Goestenkors said. “And it is Carolina. So, I don’t have to say a whole lot to get the team motivated.”

After holding a 12-game winning streak against the Tar Heels that dated back to the 1999-2000 season, the Blue Devils dropped all three matchups last year by an average of 11.7 points, including an 88-67 loss in the 2005 ACC Tournament championship game.

When the two teams squared off at Cameron Indoor Stadium earlier this season, Duke held a 13-point lead at halftime and looked like it would end the losing skid. But UNC used its fast-paced style of play to score on 14 ofits last 16 possessions and extend the streak to four.

Senior forward Mistie Williams said in past years, the Blue Devils were the aggressors, but in their losses to the Tar Heels lately, they have not used that same assertive style of play.

“We were too passive,” Goestenkors said of the Jan. 29 matchup. “We passed the ball from side to side too much instead of having the attack mindset thatyou need against pressure teams. It was a very physical game, and I think we understood afterwards that we needed to be a little bit tougher.”

The Blue Devils stayed on top of the Tar Heels in the early part of the second half while Tar Heel forward Erlana Larkins was on the bench due to foul trouble. Duke even led by 12 with 10:11 remaining, but when Larkins reentered the game in the second half, she torched the Blue Devils for 17 of her 23 points en route to the UNC victory.

Larkins has given Duke’s larger post players trouble during North Carolina’s recent dominance. As a freshman last year, Larkins scored 19 in the Tar Heels’ win in Cameron and recorded a double-double in the ACC finals blowout.

The Wildcats did not advance to the NCAA tournament last year and will face Duke for the first time since 2003. In that match-up, the Blue Devils won, 6-5.

Villanova began its season with an 116 win over the Air Force. Nova held a 146 faceoff advantage and went on two 3-0 runs and a 'TO run to dominate the Falcons “Villanova is a team that’s definitely got their eye on us, but we’re going to take every game like it’s our last game,” midfielder John Walsh said. “Villanova has proven to be a good Division I team and we’re going to bring our best out no matter who we’re playing.”

Senior Mistie Williams scored a team-high 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting against North Carolina Jan. 29.

Along with Larkins, the Blue Devils defense will have to shut down UNC guard Ivory Latta, who ranks second in the ACC in scoring at 18.2 points per game.

In order to instill more mental and physical toughness in her team, Goestenkors said she has increased the amount of rough play in practice.

Shelden Williams, fresh off a great performance at Georgia Tech, is again showing why he is one of the nation's best players. He should have no trouble dominating a Temple team that does not have one player averaging more than 5 rebounds.

Temple turns the ball over just 7.5 times per game. However, guard Dustin Salisbery is dayto-day and may not play. Even with him, the Owls, averaging only 62.0 ppg, do not have enough firepower to keep up with Redick and Co. While the Duke bench is not strong, Temple's is worse. No one on the Owls' bench is averaging more than four points per game. DeMarcos Nelson has shown the ability to take over a game in short spurts, something Temple lacks.

Even if the Blue Devils defeat the Tar Heels Saturday and secure the No. 1 spot, history suggests that it will not be the last matchup of the two rival squads this season. Duke and UNC have met in the last four ACC finals.

they are 110-20 or something like that, and that’s a great record in itself,” Krzyzewski said after the win over the Yellow Jackets. “But, if you can be a regular season champ, a tournament champ, both maybe, this is a great league, and it’s an accomplishment. Then you look at Josh Mcßoberts, and this is his first, and it makes it nice.”

The emergence offreshman Mcßoberts has been integral in helping the Blue Devils reach their first milestone.

Since the Georgetown game, in which Mcßoberts played just 13 minutes, the freshman has averaged 24.6 minutes, 10.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in the Blue Devils’ nine contests. More importandy, Duke has won each one of those games.

Mcßoberts scored a career-high 17 points against North Carolina Feb. 7 and poured in 16 in a win over Wake Forest Feb. 14. He has displayed the dunking ability and three-point range expected from him at the beginning of the season.

Even when his shot has not fallen, the freshman has put his stamp on games. A career-high 12 rebounds against Maryland Feb. 11 helped ease the sting of an 0-for-6 shooting night. And his 9-of-ll performance from the free throw line against Miami Feb. 19 gave him 14 points on just three shots.

“He’s getting the ball inside some now,” Krzyzewski said after the Miami game. “He’s comfortable now. He looks like a veteran.

His demeanor is so good, he’s making plays.

“The last month, he has a feel for what it takes. He likes being out there, he’s comfortable. It’s reflected right away in ffee-throw shooting. He’s our second-best ffee-throw shooter. For a month and a half [earlier] this season, he was about 40 percent. When kids

Mcßoberts will need to be his new-andimproved self against a Temple squad that has been very tough at home this year.

The Owls, under Hall-of-Fame coach John Chaney, have built a reputation for stifling zone defense, and this year is no exception. They have allowed just 57.8 points per game, which places them among the top 15 teams in the nation, and they average 9.9 steals per contest.

Temple’s zone also slows the game down.

The Owls average the sixth fewest number of possessions per game in the nation.

In Temple’s last game, the Owls limited Richmond to just 30 points in a 69-30 win, holding the Spiders scoreless for the first 6:42 of the game and the opening 12:08 of the second half. For the game, Richmond shot just 26.7 percent.

The Blue Devils have struggled against zone defenses at times this season, most recently against Miami. And Temple’s match-up zone is renowned for its toughness.'

“We work on that everyday in practice,” Redick said of the team’s zone offense after the game against the Hurricanes. “The thing about a zone is that when a team goes to it, generally you’re not necessarily prepared for it at that moment.... It can stand you up a little bit, and you make weaker passes.”

The game will be played in the 19,500seat Wachovia Center—home of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers—instead of Temple’s usual home gym, the Liacouras Center.

The Blue Devils have had mixed results in four games played in NBA arenas this season. They lost to Georgetown in the MCI Center, beat Drexel and Memphis to win the NIT Season Tip-Off at Madison Square Garden and defeated Texas at Continental Airlines Arena.

movers and shakers (thus, why ICC is a breeding ground for YT candidates).

Former DSC Vice President of Community Interaction Joel Kliksberg tried to be tough in enforcing the rule that if an ICC member was in the running for Young Trustee, he or she would delegate his or her second-in-command to fill the vacancy created in the voting body. Logan Leinster, Kliksberg’s successor, similarly tried to be tough with that and other rules.

These two individuals should be commended for their efforts.

Yet no one seems to listen to them, only half of the group takes the job seriously

and there are few (if any) sanctions for breaking those rules. Leinster’s leadership should mean that she and her policies deserve respect, yet that concept rings hollow on her committee.

It is an honor that we as students have the indirect authority to elevate an undergraduate to the highest and most powerful position on this campus.

As the voice of the students, the Young Trustee should always be chosen by us —not by the administration, not by the community, not by the faculty.

But if we can’t respect the rules enough to follow them, maybe we don’t deserve such a privilege.

ric and integrity necessary to make independent, ethically sound decisions.

If we accord them that degree of respect, aren’t they bound to return it?

The lack of transparency, the conflicts ofinterest and the difference of opinion among members over whether the selection was fair are all clearly indicative of a flawed process.

But it’s mostly an issue of enforcement and ethics, because no matter what body of students you designate as voters, pockets of “conflict ofinterest” will always exist. Such is life on a campus where the people running for the most coveted undergraduate position also happen to be the high-octane

commentaries

lettertotheeditor Senior speaks out in response to Oprah appearance Some of you may have seen me on The Oprah Winfrey Show Thursday. The show was titled “Women Who Use Sex to Find Love,” but this doesn’t tell the whole story of the deeper issues associated with this particular topic. Given Duke’s campus culture—one where women are expected to be perfect in every way and where hook-ups are the norm—it’s easy to feel lonely and isolated at times. These kinds of feelings can lead a person into doing things that help him/her feel more comfortable, more accepted, more able to fit in.

Some people have asked me why I would choose to go on national television to talk about this. “Why didn’t you just keep it private and go to CAPS so no one else wouldknow?”

It’s true; I could have gone that route. Instead, I chose to write to Oprah, someone I really connect with on many levels, to talk about an issue often too “controversial” to discuss.

She was kind, compassionate and supportive throughout the entire experience. I have no regrets at all.

I hoped that by talking openly about something that’s challenging to me, this might also help other young women out there who are struggling with the same issues. These are young women who feel like they are the only ones dealing with this—women who might not have the resources or courage (yet) to come forward.

By going on national television and speaking out publicly, I have become a voice for other young women who have yet to be heard. Unfortunately, there will always be some opposition towards people who choose to speak the truth. I’ve encountered that here at Duke even among people I have considered friends. Some don’t want to acknowledge that this problem exists. They would rather ignore it or consider it something other than what it is. But choosing not to talk about a problem won’t make it go away.

For those who still can’t understand, that is okay. My intent was to inform and inspire healing in others. I have already been contacted by a number of people with friends who are dealing with these same issues. I hope that watching the show or reading this editorial might help those people realize that they are not alone. Of course, there are resources here on campus that can help you too—staff at the Women’s Center or CAPS, for instance, help lots of people on campus wresding with all sorts ofaddictions.

The past couple of months have been a healing process for me. I thank those of you have been supportive. Your compassion has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.

Behind closed doors

The

argument can be made that Duke dating scene—or oft-lamented lack thereof is a contributing cause of the social isolation on this campus, one that can drive young men and women into unmeaningful V-. and destructive relationships If Duke students really aren’t getting the intimacy that they (secretly) are inclined to want or need, then boston cote on some level, it althe naked truth most makes sense that they’d go “looking for love in all the wrong places.”

But perhaps it’s not that simple.

Through a frank discourse of a subject that she obviously finds so personally painful, a Duke senior put a familiar face to an unfamiliar problem—and on national television no less.

A social problem, moreover, that isn’t publicly discussed with the forthrightness it deserves. Tracy Egharevba’s appearance on Thursday’s Oprah Winfrey Show titled “Women Who Use Sex to Find Love” was brave and illuminating, although the focus of the show was not.

Sex addiction and sexual promiscuity are such taboo subjects for women that they are rarely discussed with any seriousness—especially without turning the conversation into one of “Madonnas and Whores.”

Oprah began by introducing her show topic as one that concerns women wrongly perceived as being “a bunch of hoes. Just sluts.”

Later, Oprah directed disdain and disgust at her guests by again and again repeating that “strange penises would bother me”—all to the merciful laughter of her overly indulgent studio audience.

Oprah played to the audience’s fascination of —

her guests’ lascivious sex lives by focusing on the number of partners the women had been with instead of really getting to the root of the physical, emotional and psychological pains that these women are obviously suffering.

Egharevba herself told recess that if Duke students were looking for a show about “sex addicts” that we were going to be disappointed.

And although it was clear that Egharevba’smeant what she said, the Oprah show that aired really pushed the term that Egharevba had tried so hard to steer clear of in her interview.

Sexual addiction is something that is easily kept behind closed doors.

And unlike many other addictions that have outward, ostensible signs of suffering (think alcoholism, drug addiction, food addiction) “sex addiction” is something that can be more secretive and shameful.

The psychological issue of the addiction is something that can be covered up and hidden, even from the closest of family and friends.

Their “sex addictions,” much like “food addictions” weren’t actually about the means of satisfaction. It wasn’t about the sex they were getting. It was about what they were missing. The lack of something more meaningful than sex was the underlying motive of their addictive habits.

And that’s precisely why “Women Who Use Sex to Find Love” is a misnomer for the show. In no way did the stories that the women shared indicate that they were using sex to find love. They were, rather, using sex to fill some other hole in their lives. Love never was the real issue at all.

It’s not about the sex.

It’s about the greater motives.

“have fun traveling the world... while I’m making the cheddar!” I mean, traveling the world sounds like fun. Getdng a job doesn’t. You shouldn’t need other people to see you drinking $l4 martinis in a fashionable Manhattan club to know you are a success.

Listen: We are all mice in a maze, and the goal is to find the cheese at the end of it. You, being the smart mouse, manage to make it straight to that cheese.

Me? I go to every dead end, taking an amazingly long time making sure there wasn’t some extra little present at the end of the other tunnels.

I arrive with a button, a dropped pipet tip and a grape. You’ve eaten half the cheese and are full.

I begin my meal I’d echo Bernstein from Citizen Kane when he said, “Well, its no trick to make a lot ofmoney... if what you want to do is make a lot of money.” The trick is to find something to do with yourself so that, at the end of the maze and the end of your days, you have some stories to tell your out
