Sealed documents mean mens lacrosse players will be charged in assault case by

More than a month after an exotic dancer claimed that members of the Duke men’s lacrosse team raped her, a grand jury issued two sealed indictments Monday against two players, said defense lawyer Robert Ekstrand.

The teammates, whose names have not been released, are expected to report to the Durham County Jail by mid-af-

When officials announced an

investigation of rape allegations against members of the Duke

men’s lacrosse team several weeks ago, it placed Durham in the middle of a “perfect storm”—a confluence of racial, socioeconomic, athletic, sexual and gender issues —exacerbated by the news,: media.

ternoon

Charlotte attorney and former federal

prosecutor Rick Glaser, Trinity ’76, said the case has been the focal point ofnational news since its inception.

He added that lawyers are taught early in their careers not to try cases in the media—an action that allows the public to preemptively convict the accused.

“I’m very disappointed that this case has seemingly been improperly vetted through the media,” said Glaser, a former cocaptain of the Duke lacrosse team and student body president.

Some lawyers questioning both the ethics of the case’s extensive media coverage and the involved attorneys’ willingness to talk to the press have sought guidance from the North Carolina State Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct,

Tuesday.

“Two young men have been charged with crimes they did not commit,” Ekstrand said in a statement. “This is a tragedy...

They are both innocent.”

Court Judge phens sealed at least one indictment, according to a filing at the court house. He cited a state law that permits the contents of an indictment to be kept secret until the suspect is arrested or goes before a judge.

The grand jury, which convenes every two weeks, adjourned at about 2 p.m. Monday afternoon.

In Monday’s meeting, the jury issued 81 public bills of in.

Ekstrand, who represents 32 of the 47 members on the lacrosse team, declined to comment on whether or not his clients were indicted by the jury.

Defense lawyer James Williams, who is representing senior lacrosse team captain Dan Flannery, said at about 8:45 p.m. at the Durham County Prison that he did not think his client was indicted.

Student leaders from Duke and North Carolina Central University met Monday night to discuss how to improve relations between the two institutions.

The effort to unite the two Durham-based universities located only a few miles apart comes in the wake of allegations that members of the Duke men’s lacrosse team raped and assaulted a student from NCCU. Some ofthe resulting mediacoverage has highlighted differences in race, class and background between the respective studentbodies.

The estimated 30 student leaders at the meeting were not timid about expressing their views on the current state of inter-institution affairs.

Student Government Association President Renee Clark, an NCCU senior and Durham native, said having parents who are graduates ofboth institutions has given her a particularly keen perspective on the schools’ relationship—or lack thereof.

Chief of staff signals shake-up

Palestinian suicide bomber kills 9

by Laurie Copans THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEL AVIV, Israel —A Palestinian suicide bomber struck a packed fast-food restaurant during Passover Monday, killing nine people and wounding dozens in the deadliest bombing in more than a year.

In a sharp departure from the previous Palestinian government’s condemnations of bombings, the Hamas-led administration defended the attack as a legitimate response to Israeli “aggression.”

Israel’s U.N. ambassador warned that recent statements by the Palestinian government, Iran and Syria, including one by Hamas Monday defending the suicide

bombing, “are clear declarations of war, and I urge each and every one of you to listen carefully and take them at face value.”

Ambassador Dan Gillerman cautioned that a new “axis of terror”—lran, Syria and the Hamas-run Palestinian government was sowing the seeds of the first world war of the 21st century.

“A dark cloud is looming above our region, and it is metastasizing as a result of the statements and actions by leaders of Iran, Syria, and the newly elected government of the Palestinian Authority,” he said.

The Palestinian U.N. observer, Riyad Mansour, condemned Monday’s suicide bombing and the loss of innocent civilians —

on both sides. But he attacked Israel for its latest military escalation—which killed 21 Palestinians from April 7 to 9.

The bloodshed and Hamas’ hard-line stance could set the stage for harsh Israeli reprisals and endanger Hamas’ efforts to secure desperately needed international aid and acceptance.

Israel said it held Hamas responsible for the attack in Tel Aviv even though a separate group, Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility.

Islamic Jihad has ties to Israel’s enemy, Iran.

“Hamas’ constant preaching for the destruction of Israel serves as a catalyst for these attacks,” said David Baker, an Israeli government spokesperson.

NYC union fined $2.5 M for illegal strike by

Adam Goldman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK A judge fined the city transit union $2.5 million Monday for the illegal strike that brought buses and subways to a standstill for three days just before Christmas.

Judge Theodore Jones of state Supreme Court in Brooklyn also ruled that Transport Workers Union Local 100’s automatic dues collection would be suspended indefinitely.

The 33,000-member union can reapply for automatic collection after 90 days. State law prohibits public employees from striking.

“This is a very unfortunate event and an

unfortunate day in the history of labor relations in this city,” the judge said.

The judge ruled this month that the union president who called for the strike, which halted the nation’s largest mass transit system for 60 hours during the holiday shopping rush, should be jailed for 10 days and fined $l,OOO for contempt.

The union president, Roger Toussaint, said that he intends to appeal the rulings, but that if he has to go, “jail is not a problem.”“We find this decision is unfair,” Toussaint said Monday.

Toussaint is to begin serving his jail sentence and pay the personal fine 30 days from

when the judge’s written decision is filed, probably Wednesday. The judge also fined two smaller transit unions in Staten Island and Queens in connection with the walkout.

He gave all the unions 30 days to pay but said they could apply for payment schedules.

The strike came after contract talks between the union and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority broke down.

Sticking points included health care and pensions.

The MTA had asked the judge to fine the union $3 million, or $1 million for each day of the strike. Union attorneys argued that the penalties could kill the labor group.

Josh Bolten, President George W. Bush's new chief of staff said Monday it was time to "refresh and re-energize the team." He told senior White House aides who might be thinking about quitting this year to go ahead and leave now.

Police know campus better than most Meaning of DNA tests incites debate by

Molly Me Garrett THE CHRONICLE

As the sun set on another quiet Sunday on Duke’s campus, Field Training Officer Jefferson Frisbie of the Duke University Police Department begins his evening patrol.

As he drives, Frisbie describes the evening’s events, mentioning a recent call from a campus celebrity.

“We just came from the president’s -

ei

THE CHRONICLE

president set off his own

alarm, I guess.”

Students hardly notice as his Campus Police SUV rolls by the courts where they are playing basketball.

Frisbie, however, doesn’t mind this lack of attention. He says he knows the Duke police force is a quiet, yet important, presence on Duke’s campus—one that is often underestimated by students.

“We can do anything North Carolina police can do, including issuing warnings, citations and arrests,” Frisbie said Sunday. “I once had a guy tell me I couldn’t issue him a federal warrant on Duke’s campus. I told him, ‘You do realize Duke is in America, right?”’

Frisbie, who has worked as a police officer his entire life and has been with the Duke police force for five years, has seen plenty of action despite some day-to-day boredom.

“The worst people we have to deal with are the psych patients at the hospital,” Frisbie explained. “I’ve been spit on, punched, kicked, bit, had a knife pulled on me and gotten my arm hair set on fire.”

In addition to incidents at the Duke Medical Center, DUPD also responds to calls about security alarms, vehicle breakins and property thefts.

Although the officers rarely face dangerous situations while patrolling campus, their vehicles contain weaponry that may be necessary in violent situations.

“In the locked vault in the back of our vehicle, we have a shotgun, a 40-millimeter grenade launcher and a tazer,” Frisbie said.

Carolina Astigarraga

TOM MENDEI/THE CHRONICLE

Loved by some students and despised by others, Duke police have a birds-eye view oflife on campus.

Frisbie has only used the tazer once in his work on campus—in self-defense against a violent psych patient—but he appreciates the feeling of safety that the devices afford him.

“I think all police officers should have them,” Frisbie said. “Durham County doesn't carry any of this stuff.”

Although much of the crime on campus can be attributed to people that are unaffiliated with the University, Frisbie said students can sometimes cause problems for the police.

“If you’re yelling profanity at an officer who is responding to a call, it won’t endear you to his heart,” Frisbie said.

And despite a generally compliant attitude among students toward Duke police officers, Frisbie noted that some are less

than respectful.

“What a lot of students say to us is, T pay your salary,’ or ‘Do you know who I am?”’ Frisbie said. “My favorite was a girl who said, ‘lf my father were here, he would deal with you.’”

Frisbie insists, however, that DUPD officers get along well with the student population.

His only suggestion is that students use more safety precautions in protecting their property —and be more considerate of the rights of others.

“If you read The Chronicle [crime briefs], you know the kinds of things people take,” Frisbie says as he drives. “This is a learning environment. Just make responsible choices and don’t infringe on other people’s rights.”

Last week, the DNA test results for an alleged rape involving the Duke men’s lacrosse team came back as negative matches to evidence obtained from the victim.

With defense attorneys and District Attorney Mike Nifong disputing the significance of the findings, experts have expressed similar disagreement over the results’ true meaning.

The Raleigh forensics lab, where the lab where the DNA results of the 46 Duke lacrosse players were sent, was audited a year ago as a result of a complaint from an attorney, said Ralph Keaton, executive director of the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors.

ASCLD found no evidence of any wrongdoing on the lab’s part.

Joe McCulloch, a criminal lawyer and the head of the Innocence Project of South Carolina—a program that works to free wrongly accused inmates with DNA evidence—said it is extremely difficult to dispute the accuracy of DNA tests if the samples were gathered correcdy.

Nifong, however, said last week that he was awaiting the results of a second round of DNA tests, noting that he is still convinced a sexual assault occurred.

The first round of tests the players underwent were bacal exams, which involves having the inside of one’s cheek swabbed for a sample of DNA. Nifong has not disclosed the nature of the second test.

Kari Converse—a consultant for the Innocence Project in New Mexico—said more tests may have been ordered because it was difficult to sort out evidence from the sheer amount of DNA gathered.

“The standard testing that is done in most cases is called short tandem repeat,” Converse said. “It can take a very SEE DNA ON PAGE 8

Creating a graduate student center and increasing fundraising and development efforts for the GraduateSchool are among her priorities as dean, Wright said.

“There were several things that I negotiated with the provost when I accepted the job, and one of those was commitment for a graduate student center,” she said, explaining that discussions were still in the

beginning stages.

In response to representatives’ questions, Wright said she supports facilitating collaboration between schools, broadening education—through joint degrees, for example—and increasing summer funding for Ph.D. students.

Although she feels that graduate students already have a potent voice on the Board of Trustees, their visibility across campus should be heightened, she said.

“I’m already meeting with the deans of the various schools and departments and making sure they recognize just how important the Graduate School is,” Wright said.

Elections for representatives to the Board of Trustees committees commenced after internal reports.

Xin Huang, a fifth-year biomedical engineering student, and Nathan Kundtz, a second-year physics student in the Graduate School, were elected to the Academic Affairs committee, which looks at the educational role of each part of the University.

Huang, a student from China, said representing Duke’s international students on the Board “would be a big plus for the community.”

“For me, this is the goal of the University—academics/’ said Kundtz, who currently serves on the committee.

“We need to find ways not to let [the allegations] tear us apart, but bring us together,” said Duke Student Government President Jesse Longoria, a senior. “We’re not against each other.”

Although several solutions—including establishing collaborative social programming—were proposed at the meeting to bridge the social distance between the schools, the discussion often focused on dispelling existing stereotypes.

“I’ve seen both sides.... There is a stig-

ma that is attached with being a student at Duke University,” Clark said, explaining that there is a sense of privilege that is associated with attending the University.

Many of the attendees were in favor of having liaisons at each school who would focus on developing and fostering relationships among students at the two institutions.

Incoming DSG President Elliott Wolf, a sophomore, confirmed Monday night that next year’s community liaison—a cabinetappointed position—will fill this role.

Wolf added that he might consider establishing a separate liaison position specific to NCCU. Student leaders from both schools acknowledged that Duke students’ engage-

with the Durham community is lacking, which may contribute to the strained town-gown relations.

The group discussed the possibility of imposing community service requiremerit

ments—a practice already customary at NCCU—for Duke students, a suggestion at which one Duke student leader in attendance started choking.

“We’re in this community—this community is aboutus,” said incoming NCCU SGA Vice President Tomasi Larry, a sophomore, stressing theneed for greater community involvement at Duke. “Regardless of whether these kids are underprivileged, they all are our future, so we have to invest in them.”

Other student leaders suggested that the schools collaborate to promote educational

when they entered rooms in Edens Dormitory last week. Baker said the DPD acted within its jurisdiction.

“It is not to our benefit to infringe upon the rights of the individuals,” he said, adding that the DPD maintains jurisdiction “on and through” the University.

“We were going to get access from Duke Public Safety, the student just allowed them in [first].”

Others were in favor of establishing a “Bull City Classic,” where sports teams from the two schools would* compete in a weeklong series ofgames.

Some students, however, were skeptical about the potential for success of such events.“Duke is going to sit with Duke, and NCCU is going to sit with NCCU,” noted NCCU freshman Winston Fairley. ‘You’re going to sitwithwho you’re comfortablewith.”

Others disagreed, claiming the intermingling and open discussion present Monday will spread among the respective student bodies, as long as the leaders set an example.

indictments

What is a grand jury?

A grand jury is a body that investigates alleged crimes and decides whether or not individuals should be charged with those crimes. The body does not decide a party's guilt.

Members of a grand jury usually

serve 18 months, but courts can extend

this term to 36 months. Grand juries meet less frequently than trial juries—often once every one to two weeks.

in grand juries, defendants are not represented by counsels and cannot call witnesses. For these reasons some have questioned whether the bodies are good arbiters of justice.

The inner workings of a grand jury are kept secret and information brought before the body-including DNA results—is kept out of the public domain. Half the states in the United States, including North-Carolina, use the grand jury system.

What is an indictment?

An indictment, issued by the grand is a formal charge filed when an vidual or group of individuals have committed serious criminal acts.

Members of the lacrosse team hired the alleged victim, a 27-year-old North Carolina Central University student, and a second woman to dance at the March 13 party held at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.

The alleged victim claims three members of the team sexually assaulted her for 30 minutes in a bathroom. DNA tests, however, showed there were no matches between the lacrosse team members’ DNA and evidence collected from the alleged victim the night of the party.

Defense lawyers say they have timestamped pictorial evidence that proves the allegations are false.

According to court records, the Duke Hospital nurse who performed a medical exam on the alleged victim after the incident said the woman had injuries and behaviors consistent with an individual who has been sexually assaulted.

More than 50 national and local reporters, cameramen and photographers lined the sixth floor of the Durham City Courthouse from dawn until dusk Monday awaiting information about the case.

Reporters swarmed defense lawyers and District Attorney Mike Nifong, even snapping photos after Nifong emerged from a bathroom. “It would be nice to figure out away to give me back my anonymity,” he said as media surrounded him.

Nifong refused to comment on Monday’s developments.

“I’m sorry, I really can’t,” he said when asked to speak about the indictments.

The University released a statement at approximately 5 p.m. detailing what top administrators knew about the events Monday.

“We are aware that the district attorney

The second dancer also spoke out Monday morning, confirming the mental and physical state of the alleged victim after the party.

NBC-17, noting that the accuser’s demeanor changed dramatically after they left the house. “She was definitely a totally different woman than when I first met her. She definitely was under some sort of substance.”

The second dancer also supported the alleged victim’s claim that she was raped at the party.

“I can’t imagine that a woman would do that to herself if she didn’t feel like it was worth doing it,” the woman said. “And the only reason it would be worth doing it is if she was raped. So, I have no reason to believe she was lying.”

which are modeled after the rules of the American Bar Association.

The rules define the limitations surrounding trial publicity for lawyers involved in investigations.

They also govern the special responsibilities of a prosecutor in a criminal case.

According to the statute, prosecutors are not permitted to make comments that may sway the public’s opinion of the accused, unless the statements “serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose.”

The Rules ofProfessional Conduct also state that a lawyer cannot communicate with a person represented by another lawyer in the case, unless there is a law or court order or the attorneys give consent.

Thursday evening, without executing a search warrant, several Durham Police Department officers entered Edens Dormitory to attempt to interview lacrosse players.

Some lawyers said this action may have violated the State Bar’s ethics rules, if District Attorney Mike Nifong—who knows the players have legal representation had knowledge of or ordered the police investigation.

TOM MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

Defense attorneys for the lacrosse players have accused the district attorney of trying the team in the media.

The difficulty of interpreting the ethics rules lies in their many loopholes, said Duke Law Professor Thomas Metzloff.

Metzloff said statements to the media can serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose if they further investigations by encouraging anyone who has knowledge useful to an investigation to come forward.

Once charges have been filed in a case, the assignedjudge can intervene to prevent the involved parties from commenting to

the press No charges had, as of press time, been filed in the lacrosse case.

Although State Bar officials are unable to say whether any complaints have been filed against Nifong or any other attorneys, several lawyers say he may have violated Bar rules by making certain comments to the media.

Winston-Salem attorney James Fox, Trinity ’6B, Law ’7l, who has served on the North Carolina State Bar’s Ethics Commit-

“Anytime you make a statement at the beginning [of an investigation], you run the risk of going beyond what is necessary to keep the press updated with the information they need,” he said.

Fox said he thinks Nifong’s assertions in his initial comments to the press were not substantiated.

“I think a lot of criminal defense lawyers would tell you that they have not heard anything in the media yet that constitutes as probable cause [to file charges],” Fox added.

Keith Gregory, a Raleigh criminal defense lawyer who previously worked in the Wake County District Attorney’s office, said that because of Nifong’s experience, he trusts the prosecutor’s decisionsabout when to speak to the media.

“He represents the state of North Carolina—he is not representing Mike Nifong,” Gregory said. “He will do his job.”

Gregory added that it is dangerous for either the prosecution or the defense to reveal too much information to the press or the opposing side in an ongoing investigation.

“I’m a proponent of not showing your cards too quickly,” he said. “If you do, the other side knows where your aces are. If they do, the game is over.”

David Beratan, chair of the Department of Chemistry, said the accessible design will be conducive to collaboration within and outside of departments and make research opportunities more inviting to students.

“The place is terrific for undergradu-

ates,” Beratan said of the FSC. “The atrium will visually connect the lower floors—which house undergraduate teaching laboratories and many classrooms—to the top floors of faculty researchers. This will play a major part in drawing undergraduates to the research experience.”

Faculty said they are most excited about the close proximity between science departments, which they hope will foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

“Most of all, I won’t be in the corner, away from the mainstream of campus,” Beratan said.

Professors have also noted that the building will include more informal meeting places than current facilities do.

Larger laboratories and more abundant fume hoods will also lead to more research, Beratan said. He added that graduate student learning spaces will be adjacent to laboratories—and away from dangerous chemicals—unlike current chemistry learning spaces.

He also mentioned an inconvenience that plagues many students, adding “I certainly won’t miss the steps of Gross Chem.”

small amount of DNA—the size of a grain of sand cut into 20,000 pieces.”

Converse explained that DNA testing is particularly helpful in rape cases because the forensic analysts lookfor the Y chromosome exclusive to males in the vaginal sample taken from a female victim.

Identifying a particular individual once a male sample has been found, however, is more difficult.

“There’s a long strand of DNA inside the nucleus [of a cell] that is coded with everything that makes us human,” Converse said. “98 percent of that you’d find in a chimp, [but] there’s a small amount of that that makes us a human being.”

She added that the part of DNA that differentiates human beings from one another is minute.

“That’s what they test when they do DNA testing for forensic purposes,” Converse said.

DNA tests were first used to convict someone in 1988, and since then they have been regarded as a very reliable source of evidence.

The tests have a wide array of applications and have been used to convict murderers, rapists and other criminals, as well as to free the innocent or clear a suspect’s name years after his or her death.

Amy Bejsovec, an associate professor of biology at Duke, explained that DNA “fingerprinting” is better used to eliminate someone from being suspected of a crime than to convict an individual because there is a statistical probability that two people may have very similar DNA “fingerprints”—especially within the same ethnic group.

Converse said a more likely explanation for a DNA profile match between a

suspect and an individual in the general population—the chances of which are astronomical—is the possibility of lab error or fraud.

“In my work I’ve had one error in probably 15 to 20 cases,” Converse said.

“Does that mean that labs make mistakes in every one out of 15 or 20 times? No. [But] labs like to say, ‘We don’t make any mistakes’—but they do.”

McCulloch said the magnitude of the testing done in the lacrosse case demonstrates the state’s commitment to gather-

ing accurate samples.

Susannah Baruch, the director of the Genetics and Public Policy Center at

Johns Hopkins University, however,

agreed with Converse’s assessment.

“Most medical labs are inspected by

the federal government and are held to a particular standard-based kind of testing,” Baruch said.

“But in the area of molecular genetic testing the government has not yet devised a test to make sure the lab is doing tests

properly.”

She added that because of this lack of oversight, mistakes can range from mislabeling samples to losing them completely.

Keaton, whose organization publishes standards of operations for crime labs and inspects them, said ASCLD goes through extensive procedures to make sure forensic labs are up to code in a “very detailed process.”

“Before even going in, we review the operating procedures and the statements of qualification for the individuals in the lab,” Keaton said.

“Then we go interview lab personnel, verify documents, examine competency records—do whatever is necessary.

They’re required to undergo inspection every five years but they may be subjected to more frequent audits if there are complaints.”

but weren’t keen on being third fiddle in the Triangle. While my personal recommendation would be to have Wolfpack head football coach Chuck Amato coach both football and basketball, I understand there are still some other options out there.

Whoever finally takes this job, he or she (hey, I’m all about equal opportunity) should deliver a Rick Pitino special in the introductory press conference: “David Thompson is not walking through that door, people. Tom Burleson is not walking through that door.”

These should be the first words out of the new coach’s mouth, followed only then by the traditional, “I’m excited to be here.”

The new coach must demand realistic expectations from the Wolfpack faithful.

N.C. State plays in the best league in the nation year in and year out, and competes with Duke, UNC and Wake Forest for nearly every top in-state recruit. As SEE MOORE ON PAGE 14

Teams' locker rooms must remain open to the media for at least 30 minutesafter NCAA Tournament contests, regardless of what time the game ends.

NCAA evaluates tourney procedures by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Just minutes after the women’s basketball team fell in the National Championship game to Maryland April 4, head coach Gail Goestenkors and seniors Monique Currie and Mistie Williams trudged into the NCAA-mandated press conference in the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston.

Choking back tears, the three dutifully answered questions from reporters and then returned back to the Blue Devils’ locker room. By NCAA rules, the locker room was required to be open to media

after a 20-minute “cool down” period following the end of the game. With several players crying and nearly all still in their game uniforms, Duke was required to keep its doors open for half an hour before the Blue Devils could commiserate among themselves.

‘You’re dealing with raw emotions,” Goestenkors said. ‘You have no time to collect yourself and then all of a sudden there are a bunch of microphones in your face. It makes for good media because people like the human drama, but it makes it really difficult on 18- and 19-year old kids to deal with that.”

The current amount of media responsibility coaches and players are required to fulfill at NCAA basketball tournaments is one of a few issues Duke head coaches Goestenkors and Mike Krzyzewski raised during and after this year’s tournaments.

When the men’s team beat Southern in Greensboro March 16 in the first round of the tournament, it was after midnight by the time the game had ended. The matchup was slated for a 9:40 p.m. start time, but the previous game on the same court ran long and delayed Duke’s start.

Spirited Carleton excelling in senior season by

John Taddei

THE CHRONICLE

From spirited fist pumps to emphatic displays of triumph or frustration, Jackie Carleton commands unpar-

alleled attention whenever she is on the court.

Carleton’s fire and tenacity has helped elevate her to a 15-2 record in dual match play and a 9-1 mark in the ACC during her senior season.

“I hate losing, almost to an extreme,” Carleton said.

“It can definitely be my biggest asset as a player because I’m very competitive, I fight hard for every point, I play well under pressure.”

But Carleton’s aggressiveness and tenacity has not always been her greatest ally.

After enjoying immediate success at UCLA during a freshman season in which she posted a 24-13 record in singles play at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, Carleton said she was not concerned about keeping her energy and aggression in check.

“I didn’t have to deal with it as much because I was Senior Jackie Carleton has posted a 15-2 record in dual matches this always winning,” Carleton said. “Maybe I would loose a season for theBlue Devils. few matches [by losing focus], but I wouldn’t think

about it too much.”

The freshman phenom began to show signs of cracking during her sophomore campaign, despite helping to lead UCLA to an appearance in the NCAA Championship match. She registered a 20-19 record in singles and fell in the first round of the NCAA Sin-

gles Championship.

“I think I just had a really bad last year at UCLA, I just wasn’t playing well,” Carleton said. “Tennis-wise, I was still playing well, but mentally I was a little burned out.”

In addition, the girl from Jenkintown, Pa. realized she was not at home in Los Angeles.

Carleton had a tumultuous relationship with her coach, Stella Sampras Webster, and did not feel the program catered adequately to the individual needs of the players. She hoped to find a national-title-contending program housed in a smaller private school, and Carleton eventually settled on Duke.

As a highly touted transfer, Carleton was expected to have an immediate impact. The junior struggled to SEE CARLETON ON PAGE

Gay leaves UConn for NBA draft T EARLY ENTRANTS by

LaMarcus Aldridge Texas* PF Will Blaylock*

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STORKS, Conn.

Rudy Gay expects life to get really hectic now.

The Connecticut sophomore and leading scorer for the Huskies will forgo his final two years of eligibility and enter the NBA draft. Now he must decide on an agent. Projected as a high first-round pick in the draft, Gay is gearing up to field a host of offers.

“I know it’s going to get crazy now,” Gay said at a news conference Monday. “Now [basketball] is a job. It’s something I have to do. I have to put on my suit and tie and go to work.”

The 19-year-old can punch in on draft day, June 28. First-round picks get a guaranteed two-year contract with an option for a third. Gay is already feeling some rookie jitters.

“No matter how many people tell me what I can do, it’s me stepping into a situation, so there is going to be a little bit of nervousness,” Gay said. “I’m leaving school, I’m leaving a lot of people I have good relationships with. It was a tough decision. It took a lot of time, a lot of thought. But then again, I’m ready.”

He is the second underclassman to leave early from the Huskies this year. JuniorJosh Boone has entered himself in the draft but hasn’t hired an agent, allowing him to return to school next season. He has until June 18 to withdraw from the draft.

Junior point guard Marcus Williams is expected to make his decision in the next several days. The deadline to declare for the draft is April 29.

Gay is the 10th UConn player to declare early,joining the likes of Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Emeka Okafor and Charlie Villanueva.

The 6-foot-9 Gay averaged a team-best 15.2 points a game last season. He also averaged 6.4 rebounds and had a team-high 56 steals for the Huskies (30-4).

“When you sign on the dotted line to go to college, you plan on being there four years,” Gay said. “When I came to UConn I didn’t think about any time period or any time when I should leave.”

Tyrus Thomas, who is expected to be a top-fivepick in the June NBA draft, was the SEC freshman of the year.

Thomas signs with agent.

Davis to return to Tigers BATON ROUGE, La. LSU freshman forward Tyrus Thomas declared for the NBA draft Monday, while sophomore teammate and Southeastern Conference player of the year Glen Davis said he is coming back to the Tigers.

“When you’re hot, you’re hot,” Thomas said ofhis decision, which comes just three weeks after he and Davis helped the Tigers make the Final Four. “I have to take advantage of the opportunity available to me. I know I have to improve both physically and mentally. But, this is a great opportunity for myself and my family.”

Thomas, the conference’s freshman of the year and co-defensive player of the

year, signed with an agent Sunday night, a move that ended his college career.

“I came to the conclusion that signing was what I really wanted to do in my heart,” Thomas said. “I can get more things accomplished faster on the business side this way.”

Davis, the athletic and personable inside presence known as “Big Baby,” said he still has unfinishedbusiness in college.

“There are a lot of things I want to accomplish, not only as a player but as a person,” Davis said. “Furthermore, I feel that college is the best time of my life. I feel that staying at LSU will help me mentally and physically.”

CARLETON from page 11

Shavlik Randolph—whose grandfather starred at N.C. State—showed, not even family history can serve as a guarantee to lock up recruits.

Sendek was basically run out of town after five straight NCAA Tournament appearances, tied for the best stretch in school history. The coach was often criticized by the N.C. State fan base for running his own version of the Princeton offense that relied heavily on backdoor cuts and three-pointers. They may find out, however, that such an offense is necessary to compete with teams who can just plain offer more to recruits.

On the day of the Wolfpack’s firstround game against California this season, N.C. State’s student newspaper ran a staff editorial calling for Sendek to resign if the team did not win that night (which it did). The brilliantly written piece cited the large number of students picking Cal in their brackets (I’m not making this up), as well as State’s failure to win the ACC regular season championship as the school expected. Apparently the Technician did not get a copy of every single preseason poll in the nation. • I’m not claiming that Sendek is the best coach in the nation, but N.C. State seems to be under the impression that it has the tradition and the resources to do much better. The reality is that the Wolfpack’s history consists of one tremendous player—Thompson —and one great postseason run in 1983. The program has won exacdy one ACC regular season championship outright in the 32 seasons since Thompson led them to the NCAA Title.

So if Calipari turning down a $2 million annual salary to stay in Conference USA hasn’t humbled State enough, here it

adjust to the Duke program, however, and batded injuries that caused her to miss eight dual matches last spring. She also had to learn to curb an attitude that head coach Jamie Ashworth said was interfering with her potential.

“Coming here was a little bit of an adjustment as far as the team mentality first,” Ashworth said. “The way they had done some things at UCLA was putting the individual first. She could win some matches, but she wasn’t capable of beating people at a higher level.”

As a result, Carleton limped to a 15-15 record in singles play, while her ranking dropped from a preseason 19th to 97th by season’s end.

Everything changed before her senior season, though.

Herb Sendek, who coached at N.C. Statefor 10 seasons, accepted the coaching spot at Arizona State April 3. goes: this is a second-tier job. It will likely be filled by a second-tier coach.

Gregg Marshall, lona’s Jeff Ruland, Ford-

Ashworth said he started seeing a more focused work ethic and greater maturity in his senior.

“It’s an amazing difference this year compared to last year,” Ashworth said.

“She really enjoys the competing part more than anything. I think she’s learned to kind of vent her emotion in a more positive way. Last year, she would kind of get upset and lose her focus on the court. This year, when she’s gotten upset on the court, she’s been able to turn it into a positive.”

With her bolstered focus and dedication now in line with her always tenacious approach to each and every point, Carleton has come full circle. The nation’s 29th ranked player is once again a rock at the No. 2 singles position for a top-10 team.

“I think she’s matured a lot on the court as far as her attitude goes,” Ashworth said. “I think she’s happier on the court than she’s been in a long time.”

THE CHRONICLE

16ITUESDAY, APRIL 18, 2()()(!

NCAA from page 11 At the press conference following the game, Krzyzewski was joined on the podium by freshmen Josh Mcßoberts and Greg Paulus, rather than usual team spokesmen JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams. Redick and Williams were among four Blue Devils who were asked by the NCAA to submit samples for drug tests shortly after the game had finished.

Krzyzewski said he thought the situation was unfair to his players as it disrupted the team’s routine.

“I don't think you should have the drug test if you have the late game, you should have them some other time,” Krzyzewski said. “I’m not sure you should have the typical press conference either.”

Krzyzewski went on to joke that the press conference was for the media markets in “Hawaii and Guam” because deadlines had already passed for most of the East coast media. Krzyzewski did not specifically blame the NCAA event organizers, however.

“The NCAA, the people who were there were great—they said ‘We’re going to look into that,’” Krzyzewski said. ‘You’re always looking to improve the experience the student athletes will have.”

Each year, the NCAA performs an evaluation of the men’s and women’s tournaments and how they affected the student athletes, said Susan Donohoe, NCAA vice president for Division I women’s basketball. Student athletes and coaches of all participating institudons are asked to fill out surveys.

In addition, the NCAA holds long video conferences with the schools that make the Final Four in both tournaments. Administrators surrounding Duke’s women’s basketball program are scheduled to participate in one in the coming weeks.

“On an annual basis we look at where we are, how can we look to grow and all the issues during and surrounding the game,” Donohoe said. “Just about every decision we make we talk about the student-athlete experience.”

Purdue

Donohoe said among the issues considered when making tournament arrangements are missed class time for players, media demands, television contracts and attendance.

Goestenkors expressed concern with the travel and media demands placed on her team during its run to the National Championship game. Duke’s win in the Elite Eight over Connecticut in Bridgeport, Conn, did not tip off until after 9:30 p.m. and did not end until almost two and a half hours later.

The Blue Devils finally returned to Durham at 6 a.m. Wednesday morning—just in time for some of the players to get ready for their morning classes. Slightly more than 48 hours later, Duke was back on a plane travelling to Boston Friday morning to begin prepping for the Final Four weekend.

‘You would hope there’s a better balance,” Goestenkors said, acknowledging that the lucrative television contracts often dictate game starting times. “First and foremost for us are academics. Duke is not an easy school. It’s not like we can miss so much class and have the players just bounce right back from it.”

This year marked the fourth consecutive season that ESPN broadcasted all 63 games of the women’s tournament. In order to reduce television conflicts with the men’s tournament, the first two weekends of the women’s tournament are played Saturday through Tuesday, and the women’s Final Four games are Sunday and Tuesday. Of its six NCAA Tournament games this year, Duke played three Sunday night and the other three Tuesday night.

Prior to the 2003 women’s tournament, the NCAA changed a rule so that the top 16 seeds were no longer allowed to play sub-regional games on their home courts.

The women’s tournament is now modeled after the men’s with several pre-determined sub-regional sites. The shift has. caused increased travel for top teams.

Coaches want their teams to be on television to increase exposure and desire neutral sites to create a more fair tournament.

But both developments have made things

m

more difficult on teams, Goestenkors said.

“All that we want to do as coaches and players is play,” Goestenkors said. “However, we need to help promote our sport. I think people would be shocked if they understood how much is required of coaches and players that has nothing to do with playing the games—ESPN interviews, commercials, media interviews, press conferences, open locker rooms. It’s extreme-

ly fatiguing.”

Goestenkors, like Krzyzewski, did not complete overhaul of postseason procedures but rather for the NCAA to take a closer look at streamlining various aspects surrounding the tournament. For

want a

example, both coaches recommended shorter time for media availability.

The NCAA is listening. Before this season, the day and time of commercial shoots for the women’s Final Four teams were

moved because of the recommendations from last year’s participants, Donohoe said.

“With being a tournament team, there are a lot of demands —they don’t call it ‘madness’ for nothing,” Donohoe said.

“Do I feel like there’s a large push to make a change? No, not necessarily.”

“These are issues we’re certainly very sensitive to,” she added. “We’ll listen to coach and student athlete feedback and see how it can be made better.”

Many

people have randomly asked me, based on the content of my columns over the past three semesters: “Elliott, why do you hate Duke so much?”

And based on the content of my columns, it is a fair question Those who followed have them can attest to the fact that I have WOlf taken a decidedly transparency negative, critical and cynical tone throughout my tenure as a columnist. I wrote two columns criticizing the Financial Aid Initiative (of all things), five columns trashing dining in some shape or form, seven columns criticizing student affairs and/or its leadership and many others that took jabs at everything from Residence Life and Housing Services to Campus Council to Duke Student Government.

One of the few events I cast in a positive light was the turmoil surrounding the 1969 invasion of the Allen Building by 50 to 75 members of the AfroAmerican Society, the precursor to the Black Student Alliance.

But, now that this is my last column as a Chronicle columnist (at least as I move on to my new position in DSG), I want to put this out there: I love Duke I sincerely appreciate everything Duke has done for me, and there is no place that I would rather be.

It has been an amazing ride as a columnist and student at Duke, and so far these two years here have been the best of my life.

Those people who know me personally do not need to be reminded of that, but that’s the one thing that has not come through in my columns.

The reason why I have taken such a critical tone is simple; I had an agenda in what I wrote. My goal was to make authoritative, direct and often arrogant statements to get my point across and bring about change —not convey my true voice as Elliott Wolf.

In trashing ARAMARK Corp., I wanted them out of Duke (wahoo); in criticizing the Financial Aid Initiative, I wanted it to actually augment financial aid; in going after student affairs, I wanted more freedom for students and a less paternalistic environment conducive to the exercise of personal responsibility; in going after DSG (and taking it over), I wanted it to actually have a spine when dealing with the administration.

But the biggest part of my “agenda” has been

We know that the lacrosse situation is perhaps better fodder for prime-time news. But delivering information as a public service should be as important for a journalist as is selling newspapers or garnering viewers.

To the media patrolling our Gothic spread: Instead of filming District Attorney Michael Nifong entering and exiting the men’s room, or stooping to get a drink of water at the courthouse water fountain—the broadcast media is guilty on both counts—try your hand at this story.

abhorrent ofits surroundings.

On the grandest scale, we know the interconnectedness of our planet to be at an unprecedented level. A few short hours on a plane can take us thousands of miles, which can in turn expose us to myriad diseases for which we lack immunity. SARS, avian flu, anthrax scares and mad cow disease are only a few of the media-favored biomedical issues of the past five years. All of these continue to inspire fear notjust in American consumers of media, but also in citizens around the globe. These are issues demanding the attention of all the world’s denizens.

A top-notch university turning its own attention to such issues is a purposeful step in the right direction accepting the world, rather

what I have titled this column since it first began.

Transparency is defined as “the full, accurate and timely disclosure of information,” and if Duke did not release information in a “full, accurate and timely” manner, I did my best to do it myself. Duke is not without its problems, and one of the biggest ones is its notion, as expressed by multiple administrators, that Duke should release no more information than is in its “institutional interest” to do so.

Given Duke’s secrecy, the snippets I have been able to “obtain” do not even come close to making a dent in the massive amount of information that the University keeps from members of the community. As a result, much of what I have been able to uncover and publish has provided an incomplete picture of what was being addressed, and Duke’s lack of transparency often forced people (including me) to assume the worst.

But the conspiracy theories are not necessarily true. ARAMARK was not necessarily a conflict of interest; the Financial Aid Initiative is not an underhanded attempt to shuffle money around; in the end, student affairs does care dearly about the welfare of the students (then again, so do my parents, but that doesn’t mean I want them here with me).

And most importantly, our administrators do have both our best interests and the institution’s best interests at heart when making decisions. But as students, it is our job to ask questions and not just take their word for it. Respect for one’s position should never translate into deference, and no administrator, from President Richard Brodhead on down, is above questioning.

Luckily, most of them agree with that sentiment and have been ready and willing to meet with me through the course of my research (although sometimes they have not been willing to provide as much information as I would have liked). As a somewhat timid freshman, I met Executive Vice President Tailman Trask shortly after writing my first column last year. Since then, I have met with Brodhead, almost every vice president, many of the major academic deans, various directors, trustees and other members of the administration.

And despite my disagreements with many of them, I thank them for spending so much time with me. My experiences with them, and the rest of The Chronicle staff, have made staying up until the wee hours of almost every Sunday night actually worthwhile.

I love Duke, and I’m going to miss The Chronicle.

Reflections from down the road

I’m

writing my final column at the beach in Charleston, South Carolina. I’m here with three new friends from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, none of whom I knew at the beginning of the semester. It took awhile to feel at home at UNC, but now it is hard to believe that my time studying eight miles down the road is almost over. I’ve met amazing people, taken some great m classes and grown to love the relaxed, laid-back feeling that pervades the Chapel Hill campus.

There are a lot of things I have S missed at Duke, and lam excited to come back, but I’ve come to ig I j|j love our neighbors, too, and there is a lot at UNC I wish I could David fiocco bring back with me. shades of blue I really like how the fraternities at UNC are removed from the main campus. Fraternity life is not supposed to define a school’s social scene, so it makes sense for UNO’s “Frat Court” to be a few blocks off campus. Greeks are a minority at Duke, too, even if it is easy to forget with the number offraternities right off main West. If we are going to have our fraternities on campus, why not put them all in Edens? It is great that our fraternity parties are open to everybody, but we don’t have to let a minority of students define the whole school’s social scene.

Earlier this semester I wrote a column about the social activism so apparent every day at UNO. I continue to be amazed as I cross the center of Chapel Hill’s campus and see hundreds of students gathered, talking and sharing ideas.

To be fair, West Campus really seems to have come to life these past few weeks, but there is lots of room for more energy. If only more students could forget about what profession or graduate school they are preparing for and just try something completely different.

I have also talked about SLICE, the on-line forum UNC has developed this year so that every group can place their activities on a master campus calendar and students can see everything with one . IM

of the Dukies

If

you are ever lucky enough find yourself in northern South Carolina in the early part of May, you might just have the privilege of witnessing one of nature’s strangest

phenomenons—the annual migration of Duke students from their native Durham, North Carolina, to the warm breeding-

bootylioous grounds of Myrde Beach, South Carolina This weeklong pilgrimage is one of the most peculiar things that nature has to offer. As long as anyone can remember, Duke students have been making this southward trek every year without fail, as if compelled to do so by some instinctual urge.

Although scientists have yet to successfully explain the logic behind this behavior, many are still fascinated by this occurrence, which has often been described as one of nature’s most dis.

....

turbing sights.

Come migration time, this peculiar species of college student will, without warning, pack up their vehicles and start on the four-hour journey in small packs. The packs usually consist of anywhere from three to eight students and are generally exclusively male or female. Although the actual migration would not be considered especially out of the ordinary in relation to other species, it is when

the students arrive at their destination that the bizarre and inexplicable behavior begins.

Scientists are fairly certain that the main function of this migration is mating. However, try as they might, these same scientists do no understand why students must relocate before mating. It does not seem as though any of the behaviors that occur in Myrde couldn’t have just as easily occurred at Duke. In Myrtle, Duke males associate exclusively with Duke females, and the mating tactics employed by those males do not seem to vary at all from those that one can observe on a weekly basis at Duke.

The mating habits of this strange species are as disturbing as they are perplexing. For males and females alike, mating in Myrtle involves set rituals, which experts believe have changed little from those practiced by migrating Duke students thousands ofyears ago.

The ritual begins as the sun goes down and the Duke student rouses from a long day of sleeping. It begins with the consumption of near-lethal doses of mind-altering beverages. At this point, the males

and females are separate, and both groups still seem to behave somewhat normally.

However, as the male continues to consume the beverages, one can see his excitement level go up and his general intelligence level begin to go down. Likewise, the female’s reaction to the beverage seems to be the loss of all common sense, along with most, but not all, of her clothes.

Once both the male and female have consumed enough beverage, they both set out to the breeding grounds, minus all inhibitions and common sense. What follows is by no means attractive.

At this point, I encourage anybody with a weak stomach to stop reading.

When the males and females encounter each other at the meeting spot, a very peculiar thing occurs. Despite the fact that they had been together fewer than 48 hours previous, they both become extremely excited to see one another and act as if they’ve been separated for a very long time. This curious behavior is oftentimes accompanied by further consumption of beverage, as well as loud, indecipherable mating calls.

Often, the place in which the students meet is filled with bubbles or foam. Although this tends to fuel the excited state of the students, it generally doesn’t take long before the foam is completely infused with vomit, blood and various other bodily excretions making for an extremely unsanitary mating environment.

Eventually the males and females pair off and retreat to hotel rooms, rented houses, bathrooms or dark corners, and the mating commences. Ironically, as they are in the process of doing this, they have often been observed shouting things like, “What happens in Myrtle stays in Myrtle!” Subjects seem completely oblivious to the fact that they are sharing a summer storage unit with the person they are about to share fluids with (interestingly enough, genital warts do not tend to “stay in Myrtle”).

This disturbing behavior carries on for several nights, and then, without warning, the students pack up and return to Duke just as suddenly as they left.

However, not all students are lucky enough to make it through unscathed. The weak and sickly tend to get picked off first in Myrde. The males generally end up in cells, and the females tend to wake up alone feeling dirty with no recollection of the previous night’s events.

What strange and confusing creatures these Duke students are when placed out of their natural environment.

quick glance.

With our student activities fees rising considerably next year and only vague assertions as to why this is necessary, we should have plenty ofmoney to develop our own version of SLICE so we too can know what is going on before it happens.

Someday, though, I would hope we could integrate the two school’s calendars into a giant database of everything happening on both campuses. As I have often traversed 15-501 this semester, I have realized just how many opportunities we have at both schools.

I’m tired of hearing someone on either campus say, “I wish I had known...”.

Let’s change that.

UNC has its negatives too, and I definitely have come to appreciate much of what I used to take for granted at Duke. For all the plusses of UNC social life, most of its policies are considerably stricter. Parties in the dorms? Forget it. Any sort of alcohol outside?

UNC students wouldn’t think of it. When I explain our concerns about tailgate being cancelled or K-Ville being changed, I don’t find a lot of sympathy.

Before we complain too much, we should remember it could be a whole lot worse. A compromise with an administration just concerned about our safety seems to make a lot more sense.

I’ve missed some of the academics at Duke, too. Instead of individual professor advisors, at UNC most students just meet with walk-in advising staff. There, it is much more difficult to build a close relationship with a professor whose interests match your own and to have that one-on-one advice throughout your college career. The major advising at Duke is amazing; we shouldn’t take it for granted.

The same is true with programs like FOCUS, the abundance of small seminar classes and faculty in residence. When I talk about these programs at UNC, I realize just how lucky we are.

UNC has great professors, too, but there are few other schools in the country where undergraduates can research with famous authors or prize-winning scientists. Here, there is a whole lot more money for grants, travel and research. We also get to enjoy class gifts, LDOC concerts and free festivals on the quad.

And whatever else may be true, watching a basketball game in the Dean Dome sucks. The first time I watched the Tar Heels play, I couldn’t believe that everyone in the stadium was sitting. Who sits at a basketball game? As I cheered politely and watched Boston College destroy UNC, I realized nothing could ever compare to the Cameron Crazies.
