COLLEGE PARK, Md. For the fourth straight game, the Blue Devils left the court with heads hung low after another tough loss. No. 16 Duke (18-7, 5-6 in the ACC) fell to Maryland (18-7, 4-6) 72-60, giving the Blue Devils their longest losing streak since 1996. “It doesn’t feel good,” co-captain Greg Paulus said. “It’s not panic mode, but we have to get better. We’re not playing well enough, it’s that simple.” Despite falling behind by as many as 20 points in the first half, the Blue Devils still found themselves in the position to win the game late in the second period. But their offensive inconsistency and athleticism Maryland’s doomed Duke down the stretch. After Dave McClure’s layup cut the Maryland lead to six with 8:02 remaining, the Blue Devils squandered their opportunities amidst a bevy of turnovers and missed chances. During a two and a half minute stretch in which Paulus and freshman Jon Scheyer missed shots and three different Blue Devils committed fouls, Maryland regained control with a 10-2 run. Following a pair of Mike Jones jumpers and a miss by Paulus, Ekene Ibekwe buried the Blue Devils with a back-breaking dunk that gave Maryland a 68-54 lead with 3:32 to go and brought a sold-out SEE M.

Police reported that the alleged sexual assault took place at 405 Gattis St. Several students have confirmed that a party hosted by some members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. —at least one of whom is a resident at the Gattis address—was occurring at the time of the alleged incident.

Durham resident Beth Brewer filed £ sworn affidavit against Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong Friday, citing several instances of “willful misconduct” in his handling of the Duke lacrosse case. . The affidavit, which charges Nifong with violations set forth in North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 7A-66, criticizes several of Nifong’s actions during the prosecution of three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team. The North Carolina State Bar filed similar ethics charges against Nifong earlier this winter. Durham Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson said in an interview Friday he will issue a stay on any action SEE NIFONG ON PAGE 5

“He was the best.” In four simple words, assistant men’s lacrosse coach Kevin Cassese summed up the life offormer teammate and close friend Jimmy Regan, who was killed tragically in Iraq last week. Regan, who played at Duke from 1999-2002 and was selected to the All-ACC Tournament team during his senior year in 2002, died while serving as a U.S. Army Ranger. His parents were notified Friday, and New York Newsday reported that Regan’s aunt was told that he was killed by a roadside bomb outside of Baghdad. “He was a man of great character,” Cassese said. “He did everything he could for his teammates and the betterment of the team.” Cassese played with Regan from 2000 to 2002 and was hosted by Regan during his official visit to Duke as a recruit. The assistant coach spoke to the current team late Friday about Regan’s life and contributions to the University. SEE REGAN ON SW PAGE 7

U.S. military BAGHDAD, Iraq officials Sunday accused the highest levels of the Iranian leadership of arming Shiite militants in Iraq with sophisroadside ticated armor-piercing bombs that have killed more than 170 American troops. The military in Baghdad denied, however, that any newly smuggled Iranian weapons were behind the five U.S. military helicopter crashes since Jan. 20—four that were shot out of the sky. A fifth crash has tentatively been blamed on mechanical failure. In the same period, two private security company helicopters also have crashed but the cause was unclear. The deadly and highly sophisticated weapons the U.S. military said it traced to Iran are known as “explosively formed penetrators,” or EFPs. The presentation was the result of weeks of preparation and revisions as U.S. officials put together a package of

Harvard UniverCAMBRIDGE, Mass. sity Sunday named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor to Lawrence Summers and his tumultuous five-year tenure. The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar of the American South and dean of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university’s 28th president. The 30-member board of overseers ratified the selection. Faust, 59, recognized the significance ofher appointment

“I hope that my own appointment can be one symbol of an opening of opportunities that would have been inconceivable even a generation ago,” Faust said at a news conference on campus. But she also added, “I’m not the woman president of Harvard, I’m the president of Harvard.” With Faust’s appointment, half of the eight Ivy League schools will have female presidents. Her selection is noteworthy due to uproar over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the dearth of women in top science

Pegram takes home Froshlife prize Ad questions by

'Concerned Duke Faculty'

Catherine Butsch THE CHRONICLE

While some students tuned in to watch the Grammys Sunday night, others turned out for Duke’s own freshman awards show—the Froshlife iMovie festival and

competition.

In its fifth year, the Froshlife competition challenges first-year students to make films no longer than eight minutes that reflect their freshman experiences. Teams from 11 of the 14 freshman dormitories had two weeks to put together their films, which premiered last night at a packed White Lecture Hall. Pegram Dormitory’s “Frosh Noir,” directed by freshman Adam Barron, won the competition. “When Pegram’s name was called... it just felt like the Oscars,” Barron said. [The other crew members and I] just kept remembering the hard work, all the editing, all the long hours... we put into it.” The crew from Pegram, home to a “performing arts community,” wanted to make a film they could be proud of, he said. “We felt that with the film noir style, it would bring an extra touch of class,” Barron said. Randolph Dormitory’s film, “PROspective Lessons,” came in second place. “PROspective Lessons” featured a film within a film—an instructional video about the clueless freshman “Wesley” trying to survive at college. “I was going for... scenes that are rentable to everyone,” said freshman Matthew Slayton, who directed the film. “I was hoping people would turn to the person sitting next to them and say, ‘Hey, that’s me.’” Freshman Gwen Gettliffe won best director for her work on Aycock Dormitory’s film “LiftYour Head Up.” “It was one of the major reasons why I came to Duke,” Gettliffe said. “Just ing able to make a 'ould be seen pubThat was just inredible to me.” The Pegram earn and Getliffe nved film-making

Ten months after 88 Duke professors endorsed a “listening statement” in response to the lacrosse scandal, controversy continues to follow the signees. Friends of Duke University, an online activist group, published a full-page advertisement in The Chronicle Feb. 8 asking several faculty members to clarify their positions about an April 6 Chronicle advertisement titled “What does a Social Disaster Sound Like?” FODU’s ad comes weeks after a group called Concerned Duke Faculty said in an online statement that the April 6 advertisement has been broadly—and often in-

tentionally—misread. “As a statement about our campus culture, the ad deplores a ‘Social Disaster,’ as described in the student statements, which feature racism, segregation, isolation and sexism as ongoing problems before the scandal broke,” Concerned Duke Faculty’s statement read.

Froshlife gives freshmen a chance to get to know more people in their dorms, said Michael Faber, OIT multi-media specialist and project manager ofFroshlife. “The best part about working on this is the collaborative effort... the community we build in the residence halls [through the] filmmaking,” he said. For some students, the film-making process provided the creative outlet they couldn’t find in homework.

“I really committed myself to this more than I have committed myself to something in a long time,” Slayton said. “[Film] reaches people more than just writing a paper... [it] seems so much more important that writing about something no one cares about.” Students can watch and download the Froshlife films at on iTunesU itunes.duke.edu. The films will also be available to burn onto DVD at the Multimedia Project Studio at Lilly Library and will soon be up on the Froshlife website.

FODU Spokesperson Jason Trumpbour, Trinity ’B9 and Law and Grad ’9l, said his organization’s advertisement—which posed questions gathered from comments on the group’s website and the Durham-in-Wonderland blog —was not meant to send any sort of message. “It was literally just a response to the explanation, the apology, that the Concerned Faculty posted a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “We found their explanation somewhat wanting. They say they wanted a dialogue, so we thought we’d ask some

questions.” Trumpbour said FODU did not object

to Concerned Duke Faculty’s desire to call attention to broader issues. “What we’re unhappy with is their using the unfortunate lacrosse team to SEE FODU AD ON PAGE 5

Council Member Michael Woodard said that although all posed questions would not be directly answered at the sessions, the Council would investigate recurring issues more closely as a result. “A lot of what we heard today were issues that we’ve heard a lot,” Woodard said. “We’re prioritizing the issues we see.” Katie Kalb, director of Durham’s Public Works Department, responded to several questions that dealt with the safety and aesthetics of specific city streets and discussed where money from the city budget goes. “Here in Durham, we have more needs than resources,” she said. “[Looking back], we should’ve put more money into [streets].” Similarly, representatives from the Durham Police Department addressed problems concerning security and traffic in the city. The representatives said they would continue to monitor specific incidents including cases of vandalism and break-ins as well as reports from residents who were worded about speeding drivers. “I would like to see more patrolmen out here,” said one resident of South Alston Ave. “If you have a quota, you can make it.” Other concerns brought up by community members included the process of water sewage treatment billing, the potential outcome of Wal-Mart leasing land in Durham and a range of other broader issues. “Are we going to stop the gang violence?” one resident asked. Another resident discussed the issue of prostitution in Durham, noting that it was a problem that should be considered nationally, as well as locally. Barbara Loftoe, president of one of the five area Partners Against Crime groups, said she was pleased by the number of questions raised for consideration and believed that the session went well. Tm for any meeting with city government that affords citizens to voice their concerns,” said a member ofPAG 3. Other community members said they would have preferred for the Council—not other city officials—to serve as the primary source of response. “I would like to have the Council do more answering of questions,” said a member of PAC 4. “This is Coffee with Council, not Coffee with Staff.” Regardless of where budgetary funds end up, Woodard said the Council would actively pursue the questions raised.

Holmes, Sr. Recreation Center to “squeak”— by giving direct input to Council members on budgetary concerns for the upcoming fiscal year. The Council and a small group of other city officials fielded questions about issues ranging from street maintenance and repairs to gang violence and city traffic. “Keep on squeaking,” Durham Council Member Howard Clement advised local residents, adding that the purpose of the meetings was to raise awareness of issues in the community that might otherwise be left unanswered.

material to support the claims of Iranian intercession on behalf of militant Iraqis fighting American forces. Senior U.S. military officials in Baghdad said the display was prompted by the military’s concern for “force protection,” which, they said, was guaranteed under the United Nations resolution that authorizes American soldiers to be in Iraq. Three senior military officials who explained the display said the “machining process” used in the construction of the deadly bombs had been traced to Iran. The experts, who spoke to a large gathering of reporters on condition that they not be further identified, said the supply trail began with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, which also is accused of arming the Hezbollah guerrilla army in Lebanon. The officials said the EFP weapon was first tested there. The officials said the Revolutionary Guard and its Quds force report directly to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

jobs, comments which sparked debates about equality at Harvard and nationwide. Faust oversaw the creation of two faculty task forces, formed in the aftermath of Summers’ remarks, to examine gender diversity at Harvard. She has been dean ofRadcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was merged into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues. “This is a great day, and a historic day, for Harvard,” said James Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee. Some professors have quietly groused that—despite the growing centrality of scientific research to Harvard s budget —the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth consecutive president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.

from page 2

Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive an undergraduate or graduate degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, an alumnus of Cambridge University in England, who died in office in 1672. She attended Bryn Mawr College and the University of Pennsylvania, where she was also a professor of history. Faust pivots from managing Radcliffe, a think-tank with 87 employees and a $l7 million budget, to presiding over Harvard’s 11 schools and colleges, 24,000 employees and a budget of $3 billion. The Harvard presidency is perhaps the most prestigious job in higher education, offering a pulpit where remarks resonate throughout academic circles and unparalleled resources, including a university endowment valued at nearly $3O billion. “Faculty turned to her constantly as someone whose opinion is to be trusted,” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of The University of Pennsylvania and southern historian who worked closely with Faust. “She’s very clear, well-organized. She has a sense of humor, but she’s very even-keeled. You come to trust in her because she’s so solid.”

This

weekend we were sitting at home in our pajamas, gorging on potatoes and cheese, and lamenting the lack of Bollywood romance in our lives. Why can’t my one true love follow me across three continents and stop my wedding to an evil man? Where’s the ballad to accompany my ride on the C-l? And where’s my dream sequence in Switzerland? Instead, we’re left

with dating tragedies th:iat n; val the sinking of the Titanic instance, For there was the time that Joyce asked out a guy in Econ 51, only to discover that he was 28 years old and politically to the monday, monday Robertof Pat right 8 lames and L_£ loyce son. The date got on i to a rocky start when he asked Joyce if she was a “born-again virgin like me.” The nadir, however, was when he adamandy refused to eat at International Delights, citing his preference for “Good 01’ Americana.” James has no bad dating stories because he doesn’t actually “date.” That would be too expensive. The eternal bachelor, James has collected a number of pickup lines that he has actually heard and/or used at Duke. The best include: “Who is your favorite Sesame Street Character?” “Herb’s a piece ofWest Virginia Coal just for you In a thousand years you’ll have a diamond!” “Come here, I have to show you something.” And then the classic, “Ummm, I just saw you and ummm, yeah, so, you looked like, so, I mean I thought you were pretty, ummm so I thought, that, you know, and maybe we.... Okay, I can’t do this.” As a service to lonely singles at Duke—some famous, others less so—we have decided to write their personal ads for them. We hope these will appear in the Independent, right between “I saw you by the case of Andre at Kroger...” and “Man seeks panda for cuddling.” .

Obviously, those in charge of selecting the lineup for LDOC made a conscious and worthy effort in choosing two acts that will appeal to a diverse audience seeking music from two different genres. They recognized that no matter the act chosen, not all students would agree on the quality of the selection or the performance; in turn, the LDOC powers that be aimed, byway of selecting two diverging artists, to appeal to a broader range of students. But there is a better solution that mixes diversity with bigger names —the names the fee increase should attract. If each student has at least four LDOC concerts to attend during his or her undergraduate career, we propose that the selection of the musical act could be more singular.

In essence, switching genres from year to year could be more effective in getting one *“big name” artist each spring instead of trying to appeal each year to several different groups of listeners and thereby divvying up money better suited to luring one, prestigious act. If the genre of music performed by the artist selected varied from spring to spring, students would be assured of both a better-known act (because of more pooled spending) and a diverse group of concerts over their four years at Duke. With this in mind, the LDOC committee should seek programming that fits both the requirements of a good live show and competes with peer institutions in terms of prominence and

recognition.

chased with the extra $90,000 set aside for this important campus-wide celebration. Arguably, Jason Mraz and Common could have been acquired under the old budget. Indeed, it seems difficult to make the case that Mraz and Common are a significant step up from Collective Soul, Custer orKanye West. Popular as they may be among some students, the groups this year are largely B-list artists. Students deserve to know what improvements, if any, came with the fee increase. This is not to say that Mraz and Common are in anyway inadequate talent-wise. Rather, we are underscoring the fact that the notoriety of the acts chosen has remained stagnant, when it was supposed to increase to a noticeable degree thanks to new funding.

commentaries

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12,

Alums: withhold

letterstotheeditor Brodhead for president After contemplating the lacrosse scandal and its impact for nearly a year, I am convinced that we could not have asked for a better leader than President Richard Brodhead. From the first days of this scandal, Brodhead’s thoughtful and articulate statements gave me confidence that our administration was carefully considering the case, even as the pundits and our favorite district attorney continued to reduce complex issues into black and white archetypes. I was greatly troubled by the recent suggestion in The Chronicle that some “detractors” believe our University would have been better served by a leader who took a “firmer stand” (“Leading under fire,” Jan. 22). It seems to me that the mentality of firm stands lies at the heart of so many conflicts and tragedies in our world; from posturing DAs maintaining unfounded claims to commanders-in-chief leading nations boldly and blindly into hopeless wars. Brodhead is a great president because he contemplates with sensitivity the myriad and complicated issues that affect this university, and makes balanced decisions after respectfully listening to all sides. I was surprised by criticism implying that President Brodhead should have recognized and championed the “winning” side from the start, especially considering that so many of our own opinions have evolved and one-eightied over the course of this scandal. By remaining neutral, open and thoughtful from the very beginning, our president led without bias and preserved the spirit of intellectual debate that should always remain a foundation of the Duke experience. There is no one more qualified to lead our multifaceted university, a place characterized by varied opinions, diverse origins and countless passions.

I believe the tragedy of this scandal would be infinitely compounded were we to scare off our fine president in a search for scapegoats. And while I read of criticism in the paper, I know that there are many, many students who feel as I do. The only way we should ever allow Brodhead to leave Duke, is if he decides to run in 2008.

evidence is the name of the game. There will always be mystery in religion. In science, mystery, while exciting, is viewed as a challenge, a force to be extinguished. When the two fields are combined, when a scientifically educated man stands before a hall of students and provides evidence for the existence of the son of God, something doesn’t sit right. Science does not do credit to religion, and religion does even less for science. Scientific evidence, however marvelous, turns faith into a practice of scrutiny and doubt, a systematic study that may, and perhaps should, prove fruitless. On the other hand, when you bring religion to science, when you look at physics, chemistry and biology from a “faith perspective,” you get kneejerk skepticism and embarrassed looks. And a kid prancing around outside after the lecture declaring, “That guy was full of sh—!” While part of me was inclined to agree with the kid, another part of me wanted to slap him. Or splash him with holy water. Because, for those of us who believe in both God and evolution, physics and the Holy Spirit, it’s a touchy subject. It’s possible there is no real way to reconcile what higher, secular education has revealed to us and what we learn in scripture and this is infinitely frustrating. Yet, because it is human nature to interpret what we don’t understand in terms that we do, men like Dr. Miller try to prove the Resurrection with carbon-dating and forensic evidence. Others try to manipulate God into evolution with theories like intelligent design. Religious academics attempt to speak scientifically because, in our society, the language of science is the language of legitimacy. Perhaps that’s the way it should be: When religion becomes the currency of educated discourse, Galileo gets in trouble with the Church. What I have seen of the integration of faith and science has left me confused and a little uncomfortable. Maybe there’s concord between the two, and we just haven’t found it. Maybe we’re just too scared of what we risk in credibility and resolution every time they meet Albert Einstein once said, “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” That sounds nice, a mutually reliant harmony for which we should strive. But, for now, religion and science might have to stay put, separate but equal.

a Republican I watched in horror as our party dedicated to limiting government did just the opposite for six years while controlling the White House and both chambers ofCongress. Yet, throughout it all, donations were piling up and the voters stayed loyal at the booths. Why? Because we didn’t want to hurt our beloved party. And what did our unmitigated support achieve? The sacrifice of the very values that created our loyalty in the first place—and a historic opStephen miller portunity lost to fix our govmiller time ernment and take our party to new heights. Whether it be a political party, a local church or a major university, if those who support an institution fail to hold it accountable, no matter what it does, then things will never improve, and ultimately, will become only worse. Such is the case at Duke. The lacrosse scandal brought to light in a new way many of the tragic problems facing our University and the unwillingness of the administration to correct them. If we truly love Duke, and truly support its students, then we will take action to repair the University we love and to protect all its students present and future. If we truly love Duke, then we will demand that it live up to its ideals. What sense is it for alumni to criticize Duke, see Duke be totally unresponsive to their criticisms and then to keep the checks rolling in? Is it any wonder Duke perpetually ignores the grievances of its students and alumni? The faculty handbook, which lays out some very basic professional standards to which professors must adhere, forbids attacks on students such as those we saw in the wake of the lacrosse allegations. The ad from the Group of 88 goes against almost every tenet of what it means to be a professor. Yet Brodhead refuses to issue even a verbal condemnation. Duke professors made statement after statement, without any basis or justification, maligning and attacking Reade, Collin and David and the rest of the lacrosse team. Did the University do anything to protect its students from these assaults? Professor Kim Curtis, all evidence seems to indicate, failed Kyle Dowd simply because he was on the lacrosse team. Did our administration stand up for his rights? Are they protecting future students from Curtis? Professors are alleged to have gone on anti-lacrosse tirades in the classroom, even bringing people to tears. Was the administration there for those students? Ryan McFadyen was crucified before a nation for sending a private e-mail to his friends playing off of the film American Psycho. The other e-mails in the exchange demonstrated he was making a movie reference—but thatwasn’t shared with the public. Did Duke set the record straight? No, they suspended him at the height ofcondemnation and misinformation. And every day at Duke there are students who instead of being educated, are being indoctrinated in the classroom. Are these the values of the University we love? Is this the behavior alumni wish to underwrite with their support? The argument has been made that withholding support would punish an entire university for the actions of a few. First of all, I wouldn’t casually dismiss the behavior of at least 88 professors along with our administration and University president, as the mere actions of a few. More importandy, to withhold support until the University begins to address some of these problems is not punishing the University. It is rescuing it. To punish the University would be let it do whatever it wants without a hint of consequence or accountability. The best thing we can do for the students of Duke, and our many great professors, is to use the power of alumni support to institute changes for the good ofall and to propel Duke beyond every other major university in the nation that suffers the crippling problem of radical faculty and weak administrators. If a large number of Duke alumni, or alternatively, just a handful of our biggest donors, offered only the threat of withdrawing funds until serious efforts at reform are underway, Duke would not lose even a cent of money. Why? Because before you could blink your eyes, the administration would be scrambling to appease its donor base. Fail to do this, however, and every year Duke will resemble less and less the school that alumni love.

Chas Salmen Trinity ’O6 Malaklou misplaces blame in Fairy Tale column Shadee Malaklou’s column, “Happily Ever After, Part II” (Feb. 7), provides a thoughtful yet misguided critique of the Duke woman who “desperately want[s] the dream to be real.” The dream Malaklou refers to is the Disney Fairy Tale of “love, marriage, the white picket fence and 2.5 kids,” which she says is a distraction and an unrealistic fantasy. Malaklou erred in her criticism of the dream. The fault lies not in the dream but in the Duke woman she describes, who easily gives her body, believes the flattery and hopes that Prince Charming will be her next drunk hook-up. Last time I checked, Cinderella did not fit this description. Let’s face it: Prince Charming is probably not the guywe pick up at Shooters. This is not a message on morality, nor a condemnation of the Duke social culture. My point is merely that women have a choice, so let’s stop blaming Duke’s “party-hard reputation” which supposedly doesn’tfoster the Fairy Tale. The lifestyles we choose for ourselves, and the dreams that we choose to pursue, dictate our attainable reality. Natalie Barber Trinity ’O9

Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth, preserved from the first century A.D., bearing what many claim is the ghostly image of Jesus ofNazareth. The Shroud, now housed in Turin, Italy, bears blood stains consistent with crucifixion. It also shows traces of flowers native to Jerusalem. Most importantly, the “image” of Jesus, imprinted on the cloth without the aid of paint or pigment, appears to have been made by radiation. A burst of lindsay white energy, coming off the biweekly sass body the shroud covered, must have left Christ’s image in the manner of a photographic plate. Nothing in the fields of physics or chemistry can fully explain the image or how it got there. The Shroud is a vestige of the Resurrection. Physical evidence of Christianity. I know. Exciting. It’s the I-knew-it-moment for Christians, the evidence we can point to and say, “HA! There’s no stopping us now: We’ve got science on our side.” All of this, the information on the Shroud and the subsequent informed euphoria, came to me when I attended a lecture on “Empirical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.” It was delivered Dr. Brian Miller in White Lecture Hall and was sponsored by various campus ministries. Dr. Miller travels the country lecturing on scientific issues from a “faith perspective.” He received his Ph.D. in physics from Duke. And admittedly, between the fancy science words, the power point and the crowd of a hundred-or-so nodding students, he had me pretty much won-over, wide-eyed and giddy. That is, until the frank, detailed lecture gave way to prayer and reflections on faith and Truth. With a capital “T.” Then I remembered: Faith and science don’t mix. These two facets of our University, religion and science, remain firm on their own, cemented by centuries of study. The Chapel stands prominendy in the middle of campus, the Divinity School to its left, the integral sidekick. On Science Drive, separated from the Chapel by a maze of forestry, stand the equally fancy science buildings. Between the two, there is little physical overlap.

Blue Devils sweep through opening series Stephen Allan THE CHRONICLE

In a three-game sweep in its season-open-

ing series with Mount Saint Mary’s, the Blue Devils simply did what they were supposed do—beat an overmatched opponent. Duke (3-0) swept a double-header Saturday, 13-10 and 8-2, and won again Sunday 10-2 to take the set from the visiting Mountaineers (0-3) for the program’s first 3-0 start since 1998.

But the Blue Devils knew they had put in far too much work during training to fall in the opening game. “We looked at the other team and we said, There’s no way this team has worked as hard as us’,” junior Jimmy Gallagher said. “It definitely translated into success on the field.” to

In the fourth inning, that hard work began to show as the Blue Devils opened with freshman Alexander Hassan hitting a single to right field. The next batter, freshman Gabriel Saade, bunted for another single. Three more singles and a double later, Duke had leaped ahead of Mount Saint Mary’s 11-7. From there, Duke’s pitching took over and showed signs of why a squad that finished 11th in the ACC last year could improve this spring. After the seven early runs were scored, the Blue Devils refocused and held the Mountaineers to a mere seven runs over the next 25 innings of play. The Duke offense heated up, despite the winter temperatures, to give its pitchers a bigger cushion, as it added 29 more runs over those same 25 innings. Despite scoring 31 runs over the series, no Duke batter hit a home run or had more than five runs batted in. Mount Saint Mary’s, which was held to only four runs in the second two outings, had one other reasonable chance to win after its collapse in the first game. Going into the bottom of the fourth inning of the third game, the Mountaineers trailed 4rl —a manageable deficit for a team that had already proven itself capable to put up a six-spot in one inning. Three Duke hits and four walks later, however, a surmountable three-run hole turned into an overbearing 8-1 deficit, and the Blue Devils won their first-ever opening series sweep under McNally. “We got a lot accomplished this weekend,” McNally said. “We got a lot of guys in there, and I really liked the way they stayed with it.”

jection for the first time this year and only played 22 minutes, the fewest she has played in any ACC game this season. Bales’ absence from the court kept the Blue Devils from finding their offensive rhythm early. “At halftime, [head coach Gail Goestenkors] came in and said we only have six assists in this game, so we weren’t sharing the ball like we normally do,” Harding said. “We weren’t knocking down our normal shots, and that’s when you’re supposed to share the ball more. That’s what I think our problem was.” Duke’s troubles persisted after the break, as Wake Forest reeled off an 8-2 run during the half s first four minutes, trimming the Blue Devil lead to eight. In response, Goestenkors called a timeout, giving her team a tongue-lashing, and soon after a media timeout at the 15:28 mark, Duke finally reacted to its coach and went on 14-3 run that put the game permanently out of reach. “It was entirely effort,” Goestenkors said of her team’s early second half performance. “They were attacking Ali, and we were getting beat and our rotations weren’t good. So twice in a row they scored layups because we weren’t rotating quickly enough.”

Goestenkors was looking for, but swarming, aggressive defense once again set the tone for the Blue Devils on the road. “This was maybe not our best effort,” Goestenkors said. “I think we had a little bit of a letdown from the last game. Also this is our fourth game in 10 days, so I think there’s a little bit of emotional and physical fatigue, but we did what we had to do to come away with the win.” In a game in which Duke shot a season-low 34.4 percent from the field, including a 5-for-l7 performance from three-point range, the Blue Devils maintained a comfortable advantage thanks to a trapping scheme that resulted in 19 turnovers and 29.8 percent shooting for the Demon Deacons. Strong play on defense has defined this Duke team, and Sunday’s game marked the 13th time this season that a Blue Devil opponent has been held to below 30 percent shooting from the field. “They scored 26 points off of turnovers, and we lost by 32,” Wake Forest head coach Mike Peterson said. “If every time we got trapped, we had taken the ball and thrown it 15 rows into the stands, I kind of like our chances. They score 100 percent when you throw it to them in the backcourt, but they shot 29 percent [from behind the arc] when we guarded them.” Duke’s defense, in the open court and on the perimeter was its most effective form of slowing down the Demon Deacons’ offense.

Comcast Center to its feel “We didn’t rush anything, we just did what we had to do,” said Ibekwe, who scored 13 points and pulled down seven rebounds. “To win this game against Duke in this big rivalry, we knew we had to get up for this game.” Paulus opened the game with five quick points, but tilings quickly went awry for the Blue Devils over the next 10 minutes. The Terrapins took advantage of Duke’s shaky ballhandling, turning nine turnovers into 17 points while shredding Duke’s defense en route to a 20-4 run. A DJ. Strawberry dunk with 8:54 left in the first half put Maryland up 20 —the Blue Devil’s largest deficit of the season. “Our turnovers killed us,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “[Maryland] does one of the best jobs of turning turnovers into points.” With DeMarcus Nelson on the bench for most of the first half after picking up three quick fouls in the first seven minutes

of play, Duke had to shorten its alreadyshallow bench. With the Blue Devils short-handed, Maryland scored 26 of its 40 first half points in the paint, seven of which came off ofoffensive rebounds. “Our team defense and transition defense could have been better, and we gave them too many second-chance shots,” Nelson said. “That’s something you don’t usually see from a Duke defensive team.” Duke managed to creep back into the game with a 15-4 run that cut Maryland’s lead to nine with three minutes to play in the first half and lingered within striking distance of the Terrapins for the rest of the game. Although they came out strong in the second period, the Blue Devils ultimately could not cut the deficit to less than six points. Mcßoberts fueled the near-comeback with a game-high 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting in 37 minutes of play.

[When] you’re older, and you’ve been through it, you try to get rid of it because you know that’s the way to do it. There’s a lot of things that our kids have to learn.” NOTES: With the loss, Duke is in jeopardy of dropping out of the AP Top 25 poll for the first time in 200 weeks, which would end the longest active streak in college basketball and the second-longest run of all lime....

Missed opportunities plague Blue Devils again by Sam Levy THE CHRONICLE

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Despite trailing by as many as 20 points in the first half Sunday against Maryland, Duke found itself in a position to get back into the game with 9:54 remaining in the second. After Marty Pocius hit a short jumper, Dave McClure forced a turnover and began the fast break for the Blue Devils. Following McClure’s steal, Pocius stood near the top of the key and set his feet for a three-pointer, but instead fed the ball into the paint to a wide-open 3BdlyslS Josh Mcßoberts. The forward slammed home an easy two points, cutting the deficit to 56-50 and forcing the capacity crowd at the Comcast Center back into its seats. But the scene was all too familiar for the Blue Devils. In its current four-game losing streak, Duke has been able to string together runs but has failed to capitalize on its momentum and close out its opponents. From the opening tip, Duke let the Terrapins set a high-energy pace and dictate the style and speed of play. As a result, the Blue Devils committed 12 turnovers in the first half, which led to 17 Terrapin points—almost half of their output in the period. The halftime margin was only 12 points, but the Terrapins had outplayed Duke in every “hustle” category. Along with points off turnovers, Maryland outran the Blue Devils, registering six fast break points to Duke’s zero. The Terrapins also dominated inside the paint, outscoring the Blue Devils 26-6. When the game got closer, though, Duke still seemed far from taking control away from the Terps. “We gave up a lot of second-chance shots, transition buckets, and lay-ups,” junior DeMarcus Nelson said. “They were quicker to the ball, and they wanted it more than us.” Nelson hurt the Blue Devils for the second straight outing when he left the game after picking up his third foul with 13:09 remaining in the first half. During that stretch, the Terrapins were in the midst of a 29-4 run, and Nelson could have helped Duke slow down Maryland’s athletes. After failing to get involved in the offense Feb. 7 against North Carolina, Nelson played only 20 minutes Sunday—the least amount of time he has clocked in a game all season. Even with Nelson on the bench, the Terrapins’ full-court zone press did not force the Blue Devils immediately into turning the ball over—but it did affect the way Duke ran its offense in the half-court. “It sped us up,” Krzyzewski said. “When we did break it without turning it over, we then turned it over because the pace of our offense never adjusted to the fact that we had already beaten the press.” Despite allowing only two three-pointers, Duke was consistendy beaten in transition by Greivis Vasquez and DJ. Strawberry. With Maryland dictating the pace of the game, seizing opportunities when they could get them would prove to be crucial for the Blue Devils—and their failure yet again to do so resulted in another loss. “Of the four games we’ve lost, three we had a chance to win,” Krzyzewski said. “When you lose you don’t look at it as you played well—you lost. That’s the way it’s recorded and that’s the way it is.” If the Blue Devils do not improve—if they continue to drop close games—their chances at receiving an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament could be in jeopardy. ___

Both the men’s and women’s fencing teams finished 31 this weekend in front of friends and family at their only home meet of the year in Card Gymnasium. “We fenced really well,” senior Michael DiMarco said. “We had a lot of support this year. On Friday, there were a lot of fans. The top was filled with people and it was really loud, especially for the UNC meet.” Both Duke squads defeated Air Force, North Carolina

and Johns Hopkins but lost to Notre Dame. The meet concluded the regular season for the Blue Devils as the men’s and women’s teams finished with records of 13-6 and 13-9, respectively. Some of Duke’s fencers will be moving onto the Atlantic South Regional tournament March 10. Led by junior Ben Hendricks, the men’s team captured the Foil Cup, awarded to the team with the best record in that weapon, Friday. He finished the day with an 11-1 mark

and won each of his three bouts against Notre Dame. “He fenced probably one of the best bouts I’ve ever seen in any weapon against one of the Notre Dame fencers,” DiMarco said. On the women’s side Saturday, Anne Kercsmar went 10-2 in the epee and Marilyn Tycer matched that mark in the foil to pace Duke. “This was a great meet for us to finish out on,” senior Allison Schafer said. “We obviously like to do well at home, and a lot of people had strong days.” Several of the Blue Devil fencers said they loved the opportunity to fence in front of a supportive crowd at their annual home meet. In addition, DiMarco said Duke’s meet is widely regarded as one of the most organized and efficient competitions each year. “It’s amazing how Card Gym transforms from a basketball court into a fencing stadium,” DiMarco said. “It’s really a special environment for fencing.”

Duke welcomes return home with Penn sweep by

Gabe Starosta THE CHRONICLE

Last weekend, Duke tookits first road trip of the season and was soundly beaten by both Notre Dame and Illinois, two of the top 15 teams in the country. How nice it is to be back home The No. 12 Blue Devils (3-2) took out their frustrations against Penn (1-3) Friday, recording a 7-0 sweep at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. “It was good for our confidence,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “Our goal for the PENN H_ match was to see if we could win all DUKE 7 the singles, and we did, so we’re happy about that.” After Duke failed to record a doubles point in its two road matches, Lapidus decided to change all three doubles teams for the match against the No. 64 Quakers. The move proved to be successful, as the Blue Devils took all three doubles matches to earn the first point. “We decided to sort of spread the wealth a little bit, mix up the teams and see if we could get a little spark,” Lapidus said. The singles matches that followed were fairly competitive, particularly the match between Duke’s top seed, Joey Atas, and Penn’s Jason Pinsky. Before Atas could close out his 7-6, 6-3 win, Blue Devils David Goulet, Dylan Arnould and Peter Rodrigues all won in straight sets to clinch the victory. Duke will next travel to Chicago, 111. for the USTA/ITA Men’s Team Indoor Championships, in which the Blue Devils will face another highly ranked opponent, No. 8 Baylor. The tournament will be played February 16-19. “Baylor is awfully good,” Lapidus said. “They were preseason No. 2 before they lost to Florida, so we have our work cut out for us.”

Rowbury records best mile time of season by

Greenough THE CHRONICLE

Shannon Rowbury ran the fastest mile of the NCAA this season to highlight an impressive weekend for the Duke indoor track teams. The men and women combined to reach seven NCAA qualifying marks and set two school records Friday and Saturday at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. Running against a field of predominandy professional athletes, Rowbury’s sixth-place finish at 4:34.94—t0p among all college entrants to the event—broke her school record by more than three seconds and automatically qualified her for the NCAA Championships in March. “It was the best performance by a Duke athlete so far this year,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. Duke also had a strong showing in the women’s 3,000meter race. Liz Wort won the event, Maddie McKeever placed third, and Sally Meyerhoff placed fifth. All three reached the NCAA provisional qualifying mark, and Wort also reached the provisional mark in the mile. The women were not the only ones to make changes to the record books this weekend. The 4x400 men’s relay team of Nick Trombold, Peter Lewellen, Matt Danforth and Daniel King set a new school record of 3:14.17 and qualified for the IC4A Championships. Junior Chris Spooner ran the second fastest indoor mile in Duke history. Spooner’s time of 4:06.99 in the mile was the fastest by a Duke athlete since Bob Wheeler, a former Olympian, set the school record in 1973.

REGAN

from TC page 1

“What I told them was that he was the ultimate Duke man,” Cassese said. “He was always giving of himself.” During Regan’s senior year, with the Blue Devils struggling through an up-and-down 8-7 season, the midfielder broke through to lead Duke to the ACC tournament title. In the Blue Devils’ 14-13victory over Virginia in the championship game, Regan scored a career-high four goals and also pitched in with an assist. “He put the team on his back,” Cassese said. “That was an unbelievable memory of him on the lacrosse field.” Off the field, Cassese remembered his friend as a man who was “always looking out for the younger guys” and “just a person of outstanding character.” After graduating from Duke in 2002, Regan had originally planned to attend law school but instead opted to join the Army Rangers. “For a lot of those men and women’s there’s a higher calling,” Cassese said. “[Regan] felt the need to fight for his country, and he fulfilled that duty to the best ofhis ability.” A native of Manhasset, N.Y., Regan is the second Duke athlete to die in Iraq. Marine Lt. Matthew Lynch, a native of Jericho, N.Y., who swam and played baseball at Duke, passed away on Oct. 30, 2004. Before Duke, Regan graduated from Chaminade High School, where he excelled at lacrosse and football and was also a member of the National Honor Society. The current team is considering ways to commemorate Regan’s life, but no decision has been made yet. “We’re all still just thinking about the family and just taking care of things that need to be taken care of off the field,” Cassese said. ;V1 v'-J #^l*l*i*lt.¥ «>4 t‘4‘4 ’

In singles action, Granson breezed by Rhee 6-1, 6-2, while senior Clelia Deltour put up a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Olivia Nix. Cargill followed with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Lilian Nguyen and Bercek defeated Kim 6-3, 6-4 to seal Duke’s victory.
