A controversial firing by the Duke University Union may have jeopardized the organization’s chances of having a band in place for April’s Cameron Rocks! concert.

After securing a $150,000 loan from the administration last month, Hanna Mahuta, chair of the Union’s Major Attractions committee, was asked to resign from her position Wednesday, Union officials confirmed.

“In order to produce a great show, the decision was made to move in a different direction in terms of the leadership of the MA committee,” Union President Alex Apple, a senior, wrote in an e-mail.

As of late Thursday, the decision was under appeal, sources said.

Mahuta, a junior, said that although she was only days away from reaching an agreement with a high-profile band, the Union’s executive board forced her to resign, noting communication problems with the Major Attractions committee, low Union involvement and doubts about her ability to put on a successful concert.

“We were prepared to submit an offer

The Estate of Tan Sri Khoo Teck Puat donated $BO million to the Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School this week—a gift that will be matched by the government of Singapore, giving the school a grand total of $l6O million, University officials said.

The funds will help strengthen a partnership between Duke University Health System and scientists abroad to help support global health initiatives and advances—themes outlined by the medical center’s most recent strategic plan.

Duke and NUS formally joined in April 2005, under a seven-year agreement to develop a curriculum and infrastructure very similar to those of the Duke School of Medicine.

“This is a very important day for medical education, healthcare research and philanthropy in Singapore,” said Singapore Minister for Education Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

A large portion of the $l6O million will be used for the school’s “signature research programs” in areas such as infectious diseases, neurobehavioral disorders, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, Dr. Sanders Williams, dean of the School of Medicine and of the GMS, wrote in an email. He added that about half the funds will become an endowment.

Williams said the gift will build upon the approximately $5OO-million investment already committed to the GMS from Singapore’s government.

Greg Paulus sparked Duke's offense in its victory over Wake Forest Thursday night, hitting four three-pointers in the first half and five overall.

After Wake Forest had closed Duke’s lead to six points with six minutes remaining in the first half, GregPaulus hit a floating three-pointer, his third of the game. On the ensuing Demon Deacon possession, DeMarcus Nelson stole the ball from guard Ishmael Smith and took it the length of the floor for an uncontested dunk, putting the Blue Devils up by 11.

Wake Forest (9-8, 1-4 in the ACC) did not get within 10 points ofNo. 14 Duke (15-S, 2-2) from that point on and lost at Cameron Indoor Stadium for the 10th consecutive time, 62-40.

Although Duke did not shoot the blistering 68.3 percent from the floor that it did against Miami last Sunday, the Blue Devils shut down Wake Forest defensively to pick up their first ACC home victory. The 40 points scored by the Demon Deacons,who entered the game averaging 76.4 points per game, was the lowest by an ACC opponent since Maryland beat SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Smuggling attempt leaves 19 dead by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON A truck driver was spared the death penalty and sentenced to life in prison Thursday for his role in the nation’s deadliest human smuggling at—a journey that ended in the tempt deaths of 19 illegal immigrants crammed in a sweltering tractor-trailer.

Tyrone Williams, 36, was convicted last month of 58 counts of conspiracy and harboring and transporting immigrants.

The federal court jury deliberated for a little more than five days before deciding to send Williams to prison without the possibility of parole for each of the

overheating and suffocation in his truck during the 2003 trip from South Texas to Houston.

Williams looked down as the verdict was read and gave no visible reaction. His attorney, former U.S. Rep. Craig Washington, wept and wiped his eyes with a tissue.

Later, Washington said he was crying tears of joy.

“We’re grateful to God and to the jury for saving Tyrone’s life,” Washington said.

Prosecutor Daniel Rodriguez looked grim after the sentence was announced as his boss, U.S. Attorney Don DeGabrielle,

spoke to reporters.

“We did everything we could to impose a sentence of death. Nineteen life sentences is not something to be disappointed about,” DeGabrielle said. “One human being had the chance to let those people out. That was Tyrone Williams.”

In May 2003, his tractor-trailer was packed with more than 70 immigrants from Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic. As temperatures rose inside the airtight refrigerator truck, the immigrants kicked walls, clawed at insulation, broke out taillights and screamed for help.

Williams abandoned the trailer at a truck stop near Victoria, about 100 miles southwest of Houston.

Rabbi Sacks speaks on our'extraordinary'time Sir Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, gave a lecture Thursday to a packed Reynolds Theater titled “The Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations.”

Sacks, whose lecture was sponsored by the Kenan Institute for Ethics, spoke about the historical progression ofinterfaith dialogue and the pressing need to approach contemporary religious issues from a biblical perspective.

“We are living at quite an extraordinary juncture of history,” Sacks said. “We have no idea where the world is going, except that it is going there very fast.”

Sacks went on to highlight several examples of the rapidly changing world, including globalization, the fight against terrorism and the divide between the United States and Europe. He added that religion is at the bottom of these issues.

The vast number of student organizations like SOCA that only have a few actively participating members has led some students to question whether specialized clubs are claiming a

Sacks said. “And that means that we have to stop and take stock. Why has it happened and what is its consequence?”

Sacks added that these religious messages are being supplemented by what he calls the “fourth key moment in the history of literacy” —the Internet revolution. As the second revolution of the alphabet affected Judaism and the third of the printing press has affected Christianity, so will the fourth predictably affect Islam, he said.

“So by one of the great ironies of history, we are back where we began, in Mesopotamia, in Egypt, between the Tigris and the Euphrates and by the banks of the Nile,” Sacks said.

With this revival of religious sentiment coming in an age of globalization, Sacks said it is necessary to examine sacred texts in order to find the answers.

He added that the stories of sibling rivalry in the Bible can be an insightful analogy into the relationship between Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The buildings at Brightleaf Square originally were tobaccowarehouses built between 1900 and 1904.

The installation of faculty apartments in each of the five quadrangles on West would result in a loss of approximately 30 to 36 student bed spaces at a cost of $3.5 million.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, has agreed to consider a trial period for the program in which only one of the five proposed apartments would be built in the summer, Ganatra said, adding that the construction of the remaining apartments will depend on the success of the trial period.

Moneta has asked for student input from Campus Council regarding preferences to which quad’s apartment should be built first, Ganatra said.

No decisions, however, will be made until early March, he added.

THE CHRONICLE

Most Duke students are familiar with the eateries, shops and concert series that Brightleaf Square provides, but fewer may be aware of the modern hot spot’s roots and importance to recent revitalization efforts in downtown Durham.

“The historical significance of Bcightleaf Square to the community is very significant as a landmark showing the importance of tobacco to Durham’s history,” said Carrie Mowry, community relations coordinator for the Historic Preservation Society of Durham.

Brightleaf Square was originally the site of the Watts and Yuille tobacco warehouses. The warehouses were built between 1900 and 1904 as part of the American Tobacco Company’s aggressive campaign to increase cigarette manufacturing.

The original warehouses were created through a collaborative effort by a num-

ber of architects. William Jackson Hicks of Raleigh is believed to be responsible for the initial planning and Albert Hunt ofRichmond perfected the plans.

By the turn of the 20th century when the warehouses were built, the Duke tobacco industry was emerging as a booming enterprise.

The Duke tobacco monopoly dates back to the humble beginnings of Washington Duke, who began cultivating tobacco in 1869 as a result of a failed cotton crop. Due to the arrival of the railroad in 1854 and a southern shift in tobacco production, Durham soon became a prominent tobacco center.

As the market for Durham’s tobacco expanded in the late 1860s, so did Duke’s business. In April of 1874, Duke bought two acres near the new railroad as a location to build a new factory in Durham.

The money will be used to support the creation of a joint medical degree from Duke University and the NUS for graduates of the four-year GMS program, Williams said.

“I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the Estate’s very generous gift to GMS and the award of the joint Duke-NUS degree,” Tony Chew, chairman of the GMS governing board, said in a statement. “They will empower the GMS to excel in research, to attract the very best students and to provide the finest medical education that will produce clinical and academic leaders.”

Mavis Khoo, the late Tan Sri Khoo’s daughter, said she hopes the gift will make a “real and substantial difference to the lives of people in Singapore and around the world.”

In order to honor the generous gift, the main building of the GMS, slated for completion in 2009, will be named the “Khoo Teck Puat building.” It will house state-of-theart research, education and administrative facilities.

Williams said the donation came after a long period of building a relationship with the prominent Singapore family and will help develop local research talent and fund projects on infectious diseases and other health concerns prevalent in the country.

A likely candidate for study would be myopia—a disease from which approximately 90 percent of the Singapore population suffers.

SCIENTIST from page 4 communicating science academically, and communicating it broadly to an audience,” Olson said. “Most scientists do not understand this.”

Although many scientists fear that speaking to an audience in common English diminishes their work, there is a difference between dumbing science down and putting it in a concise manner, he added.

“Shifting towards style instead of substance in the delivery of a scientific presentation is important to its success,” Olson said. “But to most scientists, doing this is

downright scary.”

He also talked about strategies that scientists can use bridge the gap between academics and the general public. Among his suggestions were to be spontaneous when speaking, take more risks in presentation and further humanize the material being presented.

“Science is much more humanized today than it was in the ‘sos when [scientists] were more like robots,” Olson said. “We need to continue that trend even further though.”

One of the major explanations for this gap between scientists and the general public is audiences’ acceptance of poor presentation and communication, Olson said.

If scientists were to become more critical of presentations and speeches, there would be an increase in the quality of communication that occurred, he added.

“If a scientist applied the level of sloppiness in their presentation style to his collection and analysis of data, he would be drummed out of the science community,” Olson said. “There is a zero-tolerance policy in doing science, but there is a high tolerance for presenting it.”

After the presentation, members of the audience weighed in on the speech and offered their own thoughts on the disconnect between researchers and the public.

“I thought [Olson’s] ideas were very engaging and encapsulated the uphill batde that scientists face,” said Eben Polk, associate in policy and research in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences.

Some of the blame, however, also lies with the general public, Polk added.

“There seems to be a decay of civic responsibility not only when it comes to science, but in all news,” he said.

“I think that people just have a decreased interest in the issues.”

The total funding given to SOCA may amount to an average of more than $9O per member, but club president Renee Johnson, a junior, said that merging with other small cultural groups would cause SOCA to lose some of its unique identity.

“I do think it’s important to keep it a separate entity because not everyone is as interested as we are about the culture,” Johnson said. “A lot of them enjoy the fact that we have a small, more intimate community.”

Weiss said as long as small groups don’t claim enough funding to endanger the organizations that affect more students, the policy of awarding programming funds to specialized groups can facilitate a profound experience for the few students in them.

“It’s not like DSG gives these groups an exorbitant amount ofmoney, so I’m not worried,” Weiss said. “Some groups are serving a unique niche to the 14 or 15 students involved.”

ATTRACTIONS from page 1 an artist [Friday],” Mahuta said Union Communications Coordinator Lauren Maisel, a sophomore, said the executive board made “an informed choice.”

“It was completely unanimous, and we had been deliberating on that choice for some time,” said Maisel, who is a member of the board.

Mahuta, a former Chronicle staff member, said she had been in contact with a Union advisor and her committee and had been in communication with various bands’ agents.

“I’ve always communicated with my entire committee—I just spoke to them all by e-mail not two days ago, and we were all on the'same page,” Mahuta said.

Members of the executive board nonetheless had reservations about the likelihood of the concert’s success.

“We had strong doubts that we could put on a show that the student body could enjoy and could be executed well, based on the progress the committee has made thus far,” Maisel said.

She added that the Major Attractions committee had not been consulted in the decision to ask for Mahuta’s resignation, and the final decision was made only by the members of the executive board.

“I was never a part of any conversation about Hanna’s alleged ill performance—l was always under the impression that to

Hanna was acting in the correct manner as the head of MajorAttractions,” said junior Aulden Burcher, a member of the committee.

“From my knowledge of being on the committee, we were about to make an offer for the Cameron Rocks! show this week, so the outcome of the Union executive council’s decision to fire , her was absolutely shocking,” he added.

Junior Katelyn Donnelly, chief financial officer for the Union, said she was unaware of any official offer to be made this week.

Senior Alex Oliveira, a member of the Union, also confirmed that a second round of offers to bands were going to be made soon, after the originally pursued band declined the Union’s offer.

“We were looking at three definite artists, confirmed as available for Duke and for our date,” Mahuta said. “[Members of the Union exec.] coming to me and saying, ‘we’re forcing your resignation because we don’t think you’re putting on a show’.., is totally baseless, groundless and ludicrous.”

Burcher, who is also the co-chair of the Last Day of Classes committee, said Mahuta may have not been explicidy communicating with the committee because she had spent nearly a semester dealing with administrators to work out the details of the $150,000 loan.

He added, however, that the committee had been in touch with Mahuta about the process.

wanted to have a final resting place at the University, specifically in the gardens.

The site and service were also created to control the unofficial spreading of ashes that had been a practice by some visitors, Yohn said.

More than 40 reservations have already been made for the service, he said, adding that the service benefits members of the Duke and Durham communities in a number of ways. ' All money received goes to the Sarah P. Duke Garden’s endowment fund for beautification and upkeep of the land, Yohn said. And the price represents a significant contrast to the fee charged to scatter ashes at the gardens at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which is $350. .

Only persons that are affiliated with UNC or have family members with ties to the school may spread ashes there. So far, 16 people have scattered or buried their ashes at the site and more than 200 reservations have been made, said Stephanie Woods, assistant property officer at.UNC. About 20 percent of Durham’s Howerton-Bryan Funeral Home’s services are in cremations, said Stephen Mitchell, one of

garding our future decisions to book artists—the committee was really in agreement,” he said.

Other members of the committee also expressed surprise over Mahuta’s departure.

“I didn’t have any problems with her —I think she did a good job,” said sophomore Vincent Ling, a member of Major Attractions. “I don’t think it’s a good idea that they’re asking her to resign so late in the process, because the concert is less than two months away.”

Sophomore Emmy Feldman, a member of the committee, also said Mahuta had been doing a good job as chair. “She always struck me as being incredibly mature, she has a lot ofconnections—she got to talk to a lot of great bands,” Feldman said.

Union officers appointed sophomore Rob Carlson as the interim chair of the committee while Mahuta’s appeal is before the executive board.

“What the president asked me to do is just to continue my research,” Carlson said. “The committee has been considering many artists since the beginning of school, and it’s just the continuous process of finding bands that are available.”

Union officers said they are hopeful that under its new leadership, Major Attractions will be able to secure a band and produce an enjoyable show.

“Major Attractions will work quickly to bring awesome entertainment to campus,” Donnelly wrote in an e-mail.

the funeral directors of the home. He said cremation is more appealing for some people than burial, especially because it allows those people to scatter their ashes over areas that are important to them.

“Cremation has more flexibility with what you want to do with the ashes,” Stephens explained. “If the university was a special part of that person’s life, then it’s more meaningful to spread the ashes there.”

Although a cremation is generally less expensive than a burial, starting at about $2,100 at the Howerton-Bryan Funeral Home, other services are offered that can raise the price, such as having the body in an open casket for visitation and performing a funeral before the cremation.

Mike Poole, co-owner of the HallWynne Funeral Service and Cremation in Durham, said the University’s high fee for scattering ashes was unheard of.

“I never knew of a charge for scattering ashes at the Duke Gardens in the past, although I’m sure they charged for services,” he said. “I’d just never heard of such a fee, and it doesn’t make sense to me. No one’s willing to pay that much money for scattering ashes.”

For some, though, lying close to their alma mater is worth the price.

CHINA from page 2 The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, told Congress last week in his annual threat address that China and Russia are the “primary states of concern” regarding military space programs.

“Several countries continue to develop capabilities that have the potential to threaten U.S. space assets, and some have already deployed systems with inherent anti-satellite capabilities, such as satellite-tracking laser range-finding devices and nuclear-armed ballistic missiles,” he said in his written testimony on Jan. 11, the same day China’s test was conducted.

The test, first reported by Aviation Week, destroyed the satellite by hitting it with a kinetic kill vehicle launched on board a ballistic missile.

In October, President George W. Bush signed an order asserting the United States’ right to deny adversaries access to space for hostile purposes.

As part of the first revision of U.S. space policy in nearly" 10 years, the policy also said the United States would oppose the development of treaties or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space.

BRIGHTLEAF from page 4 In 1878, the Dukes invited George Watts ofBaltimore as a new partner and renamed the business W. Duke, Sons and Company. Between 1900 and 1904, the George Watts and Thomas Yuille warehouses—the future sites of Brighdeaf Square—were constructed as a symbolic representation of the company’s bold image, the growing importance of cigarettes and the increasing role of Durham in the tobacco trade.

In 1911 when the American Tobacco Company was divided into three smaller companies as a result of a violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, the warehouses were sold to Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company.

The warehouses were used for their original function until 1970, when they were then put up for sale. Private developers in the SEHED Development Corporation purchased the buildings in 1980.

That spring, construction began and Brighdeaf Square opened in November 1981, taking its name from a particular type of flue-cured tobacco.

“It was done as a historic tax credit project,” project architect G. Edwin Belk said. “We had to submit our plans to the state historic preservation office for approval and they had to submit their plans to the federal tax credit office for approval.”

In both the North and South buildings, Brightleaf Square was designed to house retail and restaurants on the first floor, with available office space on the second floor.

“It is very important to be able to have new uses for spaces like that, when their former uses are no longer pertinent,” Mowry said. “It is important to reuse a building without harming its historic integrity so the history of the building can be recognized.”

Yet again in 2004, Brighdeaf Square underwent a transformation of the courtyard and made significant improvements on both the North and South buildings to increase traffic flow. Renovations were completed in Fall 2004, providing Durham with the Brighdeaf Square it knows today.

Many vendors have responded positively to the most recent renovations.

“Brighdeaf Square is the best location,” said John Tang, owner ofMt. Fuji. “It’s a gold mine here, especially for what we do. I think it’s very attractive. It draws a lot of people into outside seating.”

The success of Brightleaf Square has created a precedent for renovation efforts in downtownDurham.

“Brightleaf Square was the earliest and most successful example of historical renovation,” said Michael Hill, research supervisor for the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. “Work on the West Village and the American Tobacco Campus has followed as a result.”

But more than serving as a model, Brightleaf Square continues to take an active role in the city’s downtown revitalization efforts.

“All the downtown Durham projects are very important to us,” said Sandra Master, property manager of Brightleaf Square and a committee member for Downtown Durham Inc. “We’re very happy with the Brightleaf space now, and its only going to get better.”

Developers have transformed a tobacco warehouse into a thriving shopping and dining district.

SACKS from page 3 that sibling rivalry, which began in fratricide, ends in forgiveness,” Sacks said. “Sibling rivalry is not written into

the script. Conflict is not endemic to the human situation. Don’t think that brothers must fight, it isn’t so.”

This analysis of modern religious tensions in a biblical framework goes a long way in helping people understand each other and stopping conflict, Sacks said. He added that the biblical narratives underscore how important it is to see the world through someone else’s eyes.

“It is when we do role reversal that we become human and we can no longer deny the humanity of those unlike us,” Sacks said. “Only when we do that, will we know that we cannot, we may not, kill in the name of the God of life.”

Sacks added that clashes between civilizations can, in the long run, be ended only through ideas. He said empathy via the biblical narrative will bring people to understand each other and appreciate the differences between Jews, Christians and Muslims.

“One who is different still bears the trace of God who created difference,” Sacks said. “And if we knew that, then we would know that anyone who kills in the name of God blasphemes the name of God.” Audience members responded favorably to the Rabbi’s

lecture.

“I really liked it, it was really good and very forwarding,” said Raleigh resident Ira Botvinick. “It was thoughtprovoking, and I particularly liked that the message was a response that all of us can do.”

Zaidi, facilities and services chair, said the responses would act as a form of positive criticism of the program and its success.

“It’s a tool for us to judge how we can improve the relationship,” Zaidi said.

Campus Council Vice President Chris Hopper, a junior, expressed concerns about the number of questions in the survey pertaining only to residents of selective living groups.

“We’ve had very little response from independents in the past,” Hopper said. “It’s important to weight independents and [selective house members] equally.”

Sophomore Molly Bierman, a Kilgo Quadrangle representative, said the lack of responses from independents is not a “bad thing” but reflects the amount of interaction

Senior Shaunte Henry, a Central Campus representa-

tive, said independents may find themselves interacting more with their Residence Assistant than with their RC. “There’s like a hierarchy; if something is going on the RC will tell the RA to tell the resident,” Henry said.

Ganatra noted that there is a “selection bias” with the survey responses.

“They’re either from people who really like their RC or really don’t like them,” he said. “We’re missing the people in the middle.”

To encourage participation by more students, laptops will be set up at the next Fridays on the Plaza event Jan. 26.

AND OBSERVER

N.C. State (13-6, 2-2 in the ACC) held Duke (19-0, 5-0) DUKE s*r to its second lowN.CSTATE -51 est point total of the season—the Blue Devils posted only 55 points against Bowling Green Dec. 19.

“We have the utmost respect for State,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “This was a tough game for us on the road, and [we were] a little emotionally fatigued, I think, from our last game.”

Duke won the game by going on a 15-6 run to start the second half. Prior to that, however, the Blue Devils did not look like the same team thaf blew out then-No. 1 Maryland last Saturday.

Duke and N.C. State exchanged the lead six times in a slow first half in which the Blue Devils failed to establish an offensive rhythm, committing eight turnovers most of which were unforced. The Wolfpack led by as many as four with only 3:14 remaining in the half.

The Blue Devils’ saving grace in the period came from reserve guard Brittany Mitch, who scored eight straight points to take her team from four points behind to four points in the lead. “[Goestenkors] said, ‘Be aggressive,’” Mitch said. “So that’s what I did tonight—l was aggressive.”

Abby Waner and the No. 1 Blue Devils relied on their pressure defense to puli away from the unranked Wolfpack.

For a while, the unranked Wolfpack looked primed to steal the game. Then Duke stole it right back and ran away with it—literally.

In a first half in which the Blue Devils committed eight turnovers, they relied heavily on their suffocating defense and produced nine steals, a season high for a half.

Whenever a pass went down low, Duke forwards quickly collapsed down and swarmed the ball, limiting the Wolfpack to 12 points in the paint. The Blue Devil guards were active on the perimeter as well, constantly flying in for deflections and forcing 12 turnovers.

“We just try to get in the passing lanes,” senior Lindsay Harding said. “We try to make them make passes further out from the three point line.”

The process of both team’s defenses dominating resulted in an ugly first half until Brittany Mitch started to take over with the score 26-22 in N.C. State’s favor at the

the first time since its opener. But the offensive attack reverted Thursday to the stagnant form that has produced the lowest scoring average in the ACC so far this season.

With the Duke offense having difficulty putting points on the board, the Blue Devils turned to their defense once again to carry them to their second-straight 22point victory and bring them to .500 in

neutralizing leading scorer Kyle Visser on the block and pressuring freshman point guard Ishmael Smith on the perimeter.

The Blue Devils surrendered just 40

points, the lowest the team has given up since a 93-40 victory over Seton Hall early last season. It was the lowest in conference play since 1982.

“Our defense won the game,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “It was rock solid.”

The defense bolstered Duke early in the second half, sustaining a double-digit advantage despite a scoring drought of nearly six minutes.

After a Jon Scheyer layup gave Duke a 39-21 lead in the third minute of the second half, the Blue Devils went 5:59 without a basket. The Demon Deacons, however, failed to capitalize, scoring only five points during that span.

“Sometimes you have to [grind],” sophomore guard Greg Paulus said. “If the offense isn’t going well, sometimes that can have an effect on the defensive end. We try not to let that happen, because that’s when other teams can take an advantage ofit.”

Duke comes into this matchup iool move above .500 in ACC play for first time this season, and it shoul not have much trouble doing so against a rebuilding N.C State squad. Duke's athletecism and tight defense should matchup wei against the tall yet slow Wolfpack, leading to a victory.

Our call: Duke wins, 77-63 Compiled by Will Flaherty

Injuries and youth have forced the Wolfpack to play a six-man rotation during ACC play. Its U razor-thin bench provides little LU room for error. Meanwhile, CQ McClure and Henderson head up a deep and athletic Duke bench that has recently come alive.

freshman Smith, who committed eight turnovers on the night. Smith, who entered the game leading the ACC with more than six assists per game, did not record an assist in the contest.

“Smith is a very quick point guard,” Krzyzewski said. “Greg did a good job on him. We were able to take away the thing he does best—which is transition—so that helped us a lot.”

As a team, the Demon Deacons had 21 turnovers to only five assists, and many of those offensive miscues translated into opportunities for the Blue Devils.

Fast-break layups by Scheyer and DeMarcus Nelson and a transition threepointer by Paulus sparked a 15-4 run near the end of the first half. The spurt broke the game open, extending the Duke advantage to 16.

Wake Forest didn’t challenge the Blue Devils in the second half, as the Duke lead never slipped below a dozen. Josh Mcßoberts held Visser—the ACC’s fourthleading scorer—to just 12 points, six below his season average. Visser was also saddled with foul trouble for much of the night, preventing the Demon Deacons from finding any rhythm on the offensive end.

“We’re playing more energized,” Paulus said. “We’re getting more loose balls we’re just trying to play as hard as we can.”

Mcßoberts had eight rebounds and three blocks to go along with 11 points and six assists on the offensive end.

Wake Forest has grown accustomed to leaving Cameron empty-handed, as the Demon Deacons suffered their 10th consecutive loss in Durham. Although all 10 of those games have been decided by double figures, few have been as inept as Thursday’s 62-40 drubbing.

—

Wake Forest shot 33.3 percent for the game, including a woeful 28.6 percent in the second half. The Demon Deacons did not help their cause by going 5-for-12 from the foul line and just 3-for-ll from beyond the arc.

“I don’t think the aura of the building—as legendary as it is—was the main culprit tonight,” Wake Forest head coach Skip Prosser said. “If you don’t give yourselves a shot—even a bad shot—at the offensive end, you’re not going to win.”

CHUCK LIDDY/RALEIGH NEWS AND

OBSERVER

Duke's Carrem Gay goes up for a shot during the Blue Devils' 65-51 win over the Wolfpack in Raleigh.

W. BBALL from page 9

2:45 mark. Mitch, who did not see action in Duke’s victory over Maryland Saturday, sparked a stretch that put the Blue Devils ahead for good by nailing a three-pointer just as the shot clock expired.

On the next play, the freshman broke free for a fast break and converted an old-fashioned three-point play. Mitch then stole the ball, sprinted down the left side of the court and rolled the ball into the net despite getting hacked by a Wolfpack defender.

“We didn’t have the momentum at all in the first half,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Those buckets [Mitch] hit were all huge buckets, especially that three pointer she hit at the buzzer.”

Duke drew off that run late in the first half and came out of the break ready to put the game away. Over the first six and a halfminutes of the second half, the Blue Devils outscored the Wolfpack 15-6 to put themselves up, 49-34.

Several of these baskets also came off steals, like the first 20 minutes, but this time the Blue Devils were quicker to push the ball down the court, resulting in several fast breaks and the play of the night.

Following a badly missed shot by the Wolfpack, Wanisha Smith pulled down the rebound on the left elbow of N.C. State’s side. SpyingWaner streaking down

the court, she darted the long pass. Waner, however, quickly found herself surrounded by three N.C. State defenders. While penetrating to the basket, in mid-air she dished it over to Harding, who went up-and-under and laid in a for pretty reverse layup.

The offense would eventually sputter out, as the Blue Devils scored only five points over the last six minutes. By that

point, however, Duke had secured its 19th victory of the season, as it held the Wolfpack to shooting just 8-for-34 in the second half and forcing an additional seven turnovers.

“We knew they were looking forward to playing this game, and it was a tough game,” Goestenkors said. “Overall I’m just pleased we did what was necessary to come away with the win.”

Bales (4) Ist Half; 48.4,2nd Half: 37.9, Game; 43.3

The redshirt freshman scored on a

three-point shot, a three-point play after being fouled on a fast-break layup and another layup following a steal off of an in-

bounds pass under her own basket. , “Those buckets she hit, they were all huge buckets,” Goestenkors said. “It just really gave us an emotional lift. Before that, I thought we were a little bit tentative.

It was contagious for us in the second half.”

The momentum from Mitch’s play carried over in the second half in which the Blue Devils offensive woes were briefly put to rest. The team pushed the ball and ran its half-court sets much more effectively to push its lead to as many as 21 points with just over six minutes remaining.

“The first half I don’t know that we had any transition layups,” Goestenkors said.

“The second half I felt like we pushed the ball a little bit more and got out and got easy buckets.”

Duke struggled again as the game wound down, though—it scored just seven points over the last 7:l9—but the effort was good enough to hold off the ineffective Wolfpack, who shot just 23 percent in the second half.

The 19 turnovers that Duke forced and the 24 points dial resulted were some of the few highlights for a team that otherwise seemed out of sync for much of the contest. N.C. State scored five points more than Duke is averaging on defense this season and out-rebounded the team 41-to-37.

Alison Bales was rendered relatively quiet under the basket as she faced off against 6-foot-7 Gillian Goring—possibly the only time this season she will play against an opponent her height.

Team scoring leader Abby Waner shot 0-for-4 from beyond the arc en route to scoringjust nine points on the night. In all, only two Duke players put up double digits—Lindsey Harding and Brittany Mitch each scored 10.

“They’re not 15th in the nation defensively for nothing,” Goestenkors said.

“N.C. State is so athletic, and they do such a good job defensively that they were up in our passing lanes and they kept us from running our sets. It was a tough task for us.”

Duke next plays Monday at No. 4 Tennessee. The matchup will be the two teams’ first meeting since the Blue Devils defeated the Volunteers 75-53 last season.

QU/THE CHRONICLE

Though the gamewas not always pretty, theBlue Devils were able to coast to their victory over WakeForest.

M.BBALL from page 1 Duke 40-36 Jan. 9, 1982.

“Our defense won the game,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Points were hard to come by for both teams tonight. So, Greg’s performance, going 5-for-10 for threes, and those threes in the first halfand those few defensive plays that turned into offense really gave us that working margin.”

With Duke struggling to score throughout the game, the offense received a spark in the first halffrom the three-point shooting of Paulus, who hit four treys and scored 14 before halftime. Accounting for a large portion of Duke’s 35 first-half points, Paulus led the Blue Devils into halftime with a 14-point lead.

Paulus, however, could not repeat that performance in the second half, only netting a three-pointer in the closing minute of the game. Duke was in jeopardy ofhaving its lowest point total in a half this season of 20 until the team closed with 10 points in the final three and a half minutes. The Demon Deacons, though, outscored the Blue Devils, 5-4, during the first eight minutes following the break.

Even with the offense in a slump during the early part of the half, the defense stayed on its assignments, Krzyzewski said.

With the offense searching to find as potent a scoring option in the second half as Paulus was in the first half, the defense held steady, limiting the sloppy Demon Deacon offense to 19 points after halftime.

“We were trying

to

take away their

threes,” Paulus said. “We saw that they had a lot of really good three-point shooters,

and we just wanted to take that away and put a lot of pressure on them, whether it was late pressure or early pressure.”

Like they did in their last game against Miami, the Duke guards pressured the ball up top and forced the Demon Deacon backcourt to look inside, where forward Josh Mcßoberts was frustrating Demon Deacon Kyle Visser down low. Visser came into the with the fourth-best scoring average in the ACC, 18.3, but he only managed 12 points against the big fellow.

“In the second half, Joshreally protected our basket well,” Krzyzewski said. “His blocks and defensive rebounds were terrific.”

Unlike his performance against the Hurricanes in which he tallied 25 points, Jon Scheyer misfired most of the night

against the Demon Deacons and finished with nine points on 3-for-ll shooting. Despite the poorer performance, Krzyzewski yelled at Scheyer to “shoot the ball” with 6:24 remaining in the second half after the freshman had passed up a look late in the shot clock.

The only player beside Paulus to finish in double-digits was Mcßoberts, who ended the night with 11 points on 4-for-10 shooting from the field. But even without many offensive sparks, the defense was the difference in the game.

“If we are not shooting the ball well offensively, we still have to have high intensity and great energy on the defensive end to keep us close,” Paulus said.

NOTES: Duke has a quick turnaround before it takes on N.C. State in Raleigh Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on A8C.... The Wolfpack (11-6, 1-3) will have had a week of rest since their 88-74 win over Wake Forest Jan. 13....

Duke defeated N.C. State, 81-68, in the two teams’ only meeting last season....

“We’ve got a quick turnaround State’s been waiting for us for a week this is a tough stretch for us,” Krzyzewski said.

pacify countercultural professors, rather than to shape a new and improved campus culture Even students who are dissatisfied with campus culture recognize that heavy-handed efforts by the administration to change it will do little good. Changes in culture happen organically. The average Duke student probably doubts that sending an e-mail to the CCI web site or voicing his opinion at a town hall meeting will do little to change his social life once he gets back to the dorm.

Dean Thompson and other leaders of the CCI haven’t done a persuasive job of explaining why student input matters. What is going to happen after the CCI releases its report? Will it lead

changes.

to real policy changes, or is it just going to be administrative whitewash?

Finally, a sizable portion of the Duke community thinks campus culture is fine. Duke has one of the highest alumni-giving rates of any American university—we’re tied for third with Harvard at 44 percent, and are exceeded only

by Princeton (61 percent) and Yale (45 percent).

That’s proof, at least, that the University has produced a lot of fond memories and

happy graduates.

The CGI probably hasn’t

heard much from this undergraduate constituency, because students are too busy enjoyirig their short four years in the Gothic Wonderland to shoot off a complaint by e-mail or attend a small group discussion.

The Opinion Age

Dear

reader: Are you, or have you ever been, a person? If you’ve answered “yes,” then a hearty congratulations to you! You’re the recipient of a prestigious honor from one of the most famous and venerable publications in

America,

Time Magazine, in the kind of cop« out/“big surprise” that’s becoming increasingly common for this award, recently ■ ■■ named ‘You” as its Perbfiatl kindle son of the Year The cover is a computer ad astra screen with that kind of shiny, almost-reflective foil in the middle.

ognizable.

The rationale, according to the magazine, is that you, Mr. or Ms. Savvy Computer Owner, now “control the Information Age. Welcome to your world.”

Frankly, this-cover is the most unintentionally brilliant piece of social commentary I’ve seen in a long time. It gets nearly everything wrong, yet manages to be all the more ingenious for it.

The Information Age apparently officially ended in the early 19905, depending on which amorphous group of experts you talk to. Even if you don’t accept that the Age is over, Time just killed it by putting “you” in charge.

Why so?

Because “you,” meaning individual people, don’t exclusively possess, control or dispense information. Excepting a very select group of professionals, most people, even most savvy computer users, are not really independendy generating or dispersing very much information at all (in the traditional sense of facts, figures and recorded events).

Us smart-ass college kids are no exception. Yes, I can access and analyze information, turn it into Excel spreadsheets or MatLab printouts. I possess skills that make me appear a master of the Information Age. In reality, however, I’m still just manipulating information handed to me by a someone else.

I’m certainly not learning much pure information in class, and I haven’t for a long time. Neither have most

What's on your resume?

During

my most recent attack of fear about life after graduation, I decided to check out the Career Center web site and stumbled upon the resume section.

There I found a list of sample resumes that I could use as a guide for creating my own. I grabbed a pen and a sheet of paper so I could jot down some notes. The link for the first resume was end-
