Men’s golf head coach Rod Myers passed away Friday evening at the Duke University Medical Center after losing his battle with leukemia. He was 67 years old.

A member of the Golf Coaches Association Hall ofFame and a head coach for 41 years—34 of which were at Duke —Myers had a profound impact on the sport, his players and the University.

“Rod Myers was a good friend, a great teacher and a role model for all studentathletes,” Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said. “He was also a great father and husband and a person everybody respected and 10ved.... Duke University will dearly miss him.”

Although Myers’ professional accolades speak for themselves—he was a former president and treasurer of the Golf Coaches Association of America, a member of the PGA and USGA Rules Committees, former chairman of the NCAA Golf Committee and a Master PGA Professional—the coach took the most pride in the accomplishments of his players, both on and off the course.

In his 34 years in Durham, Myers coached 16 All-Americans, nine Academic All-Americans and 24 All-ACC selections.

Sen. McCain: "It's working"

Iranian TV shows 2 British sailors by

Nasser Karimi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, Iran Iranian state television aired new video Sunday showing two of the 15 captured British sailors pointing to a spot on a map of the Persian Gulf where they were seized and acknowledging it was in Iranian territorial waters.

Britain’s Foreign Office immediately denounced the video, saying it was “completely unacceptable for these pictures to be shown on TV.” Adding to tensions between the two countries, about 200 angry Iranian youths chanting “Death to Britain” and “Death to America” threw rocks and firecrackers at

the British Embassy and tried to rush the compound but were held back by police.

The 15 Britons were detained by Iranian naval units on March 23 while patrolling for smugglers as part of a U.N.mandated force monitoring the Persian Gulf. They were seized by Iranian naval units near the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab, a waterway that has long been a disputed dividing line between Iraq and Iran. Iran insists the sailors illegally entered its waters, but Britain says the team was in Iraqi waters at the time of their capture.

The captives first appeared on the staterun Arabic-language TV channel Al-Alam in separate video clips looking relaxed in

military fatigues and pointing at the same map of the Persian Gulf.

The first sailor, who was identified as Royal Marine Capt. Chris Air, pointed with a pen to a location on the map where he said two boats left a warship of the U.S-led coalition in Iraq around 8:30 a.m. on March 23. He said the seven marines and eight navy sailors Were captured around 10 a.m.

Pointing to the map, he said “we were seized apparently at this point here on their maps and on the GPS they’ve shown us, which is inside Iranian territorial waters.”

WASHINGTON

Two Democratic

presidential candidates broke previous fundraising records during the first three months of the year, with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton setting a high bar of $26 million in new contributions for the quarter.

Former Sen. John Edwards raised more than $l4 million since the beginning of the year. Clinton also transferred $lO million from her Senate campaign account, bringing her total receipts for the quarter to $36 million.

Unlike Edwards, Clinton aides would

available only for the primary election and how much could be used just in the general election, if she were the party’s nominee. By not breaking down the amount available for the primaries, the Clinton camp made it impossible to assess how much of an edge she actually has over Edwards.

Edwards’ aides said about $1 million of his $l4 million in contributions could only be used in the general election, should he win the nomination.

Neither Clinton nor Edwards disclosed how much money they spent in the quarter

or how much cash they had in hand—numbers that also give clues to the relative strengths of the campaigns.

Still, the total raised by each candidate outdistanced past presidential election records and set a new bar by which to measure fundraising abilities.

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois—sandwiched in public opinion polls between Clinton and Edwards —had yet to reveal his totals. Obama was expected to be among the top Democratic fundraisers.

NewMexico Gov. Bill Richardson’s campaign said he had raised $6 million in primary campaign money.

CAMDEN, S.C. From a distance, the crowd of college students at the Carolina Cup formed a pastel mosaic ofPolo pants, Lilly Pulitzer prints and pearls.

nual horse-racing event.

In 1930, Cup co-founder Ernest Wood-

ward bought 400 acres, which were later named Springdale Race Course, to host the premier horse race.

Woodward and co-founder Harry Kirkover wanted to create a race course where spectators could see the entire race from any place they were observing the event.

Today, Springdale is still one of the most admired racetracks in the country and hosts more spectators on Cup day than there are residents in all ofCamden’s Kershaw County.

Horses, however, were not the main attraction for the thousands ofyoung people mingling around the tents in College Park, the tailgating area outside the racing arena.

“I came here to get drunk and meet people,” said Lance Wactor, a freshman at the College of Charleston, who was at the event for the first time and went with his friends in Sigma Chi fraternity.

He said about 13 fraternities from his school traveled to Camden for the occasion. Hundreds of fraternity and college flags waved above the tents. [l came to Carolina Cup] because I’m fratty as hell. It’s a huge tradition for us,” said Will Jones, a junior at the University of South Carolina, who had attended the event twice before.

In addition to a couple of hundred Duke undergraduates, students were in attendance from Wake Forest University, Davidson College, Winthrop University, Clemson University and Wofford College.

Since its inception 75 years ago, the Cup has made adjustments for the growing crowd of partying college students.

Enterprising Duke students with big business aspirations are now one step closer to seeing their ideas in action.

The Duke Undergraduate Business Advisory and Resource Committee—dubbed DUBARC by its founders—met for the first time last Friday at the Fuqua School of Business to discuss the future of entrepreneurship at the University.

“The main purpose of the committee is to evaluate specific business ideas, provide feedback and then... actually fund these businesses and get them off the ground,” said senior Jason Gross, a founding member of the new committee.

After Duke, alums opt to call Bull City home Former Duke chancellor details shift in health care Kim by

Gabby McGlynn THE CHRONICLE

Hanauer is still surprised when she hears of a Duke classmate moving back to Durham.

Although Hanauer, Trinity ’O2, moved back herself after spending several years in Boston and serves as the Director of the Young Alumni and Student Program, she said she still instinctively wonders, “Why go back?”

Regardless, Dukies migrate back every year to make Durham their home after graduation. Roughly 20 percent of Duke alumni live in North Carolina nearly half of whom reside in the Raleigh-Durham area.

Due in part to alumni who return for graduate school, making up one-fifth of the University’s graduate population, the area comprises the largest percentage of young Duke alumni, topping even New York City.

—

So what exactly is the allure of Durham and what keeps Dukies coming back after their four undergraduate years?

The hassles of big city living, affordable housing and congested transportation and parking frustrations generally draw alumni back, Hanauer said. After spending a few years in a big city, she said people want something different.

“When you walk into the JamesJoyce [lrish Pub and Restaurant] on a Monday night and you know the Monday night crowd and the bartenders and the wait staff and everyone is connected in some way, I think that’s pretty neat,” Hanauer said.

For some, Durham presents the best of both worlds, Hanauer said—a modera city with a small town charm.

475 hit CIEMAS for Pratt's E-Ball fiesta by

Adam Nathan

.

THE CHRONICLE

Defying their oft-maligned stereotype, Duke’s engineers put down their textbooks and partied it up Friday night at

the annual E-Ball, hosted this year in the

Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences by the Engineering Student Government.

Four-hundred seventy-five students in the Pratt School of Engineering and guests from the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences attended the event to dine, dance and celebrate the end of another year, Kelly Fitzgerald, a senior and ESC publicity chair, wrote in an e-mail.

“Overall, I think the event was a huge success,” she said. “We managed to minimize or eliminate most of the issues we’ve had in the past with transportation and dealing with such a large crowd.”

Most Pratt students said they enjoyed seeing their peers in a new setting outside of the classroom.

“It’s a time for engineers to stop doing homework and chill and show everybody that we can have fun too,” ESG sophomore class president Tim Gu said. “It’s a great way to build community support —when we are stuck in a classroom or lab doing homework, working collaboratively is the only way to get stuff done.”

The event started with a three-course dinner, coordinated by three managers, seven chefs and 40 waiters from Three Seasons Catering, the operator of Blue Express in the Levine Science Research Center, said Kamel Tallaa, a manager at Blue Express.

“I love catering E-Ball,” he said. “Most of the people here are my regular customers—I can tell you what they eat every day—so it’s really friendly.”

After eating, students moved to the Schiano Auditorium lobby for a dance party. The room was packed, with a spontaneous breakdancing competition starting in one corner.

“E-Ball is the best thing that happened to engineers,” sophomore Elana Bobo said. “Only at Duke would engineers get so excited about a semiformal.”

Each Pratt student was allowed to buy an additional ticket for $5 and a third for $lO, resulting in slightly more Trinity students attending the event than engineers, Fitzgerald said.

She added that there was a black market for E-Ball tickets in the weeks leading up to the event due to the limited seating available in CIEMAS. “A lot of people put themselves down along with a date, only to find out that one or the other may have had a conflict at the time of the event,” she said. “This resulted in people selling their tickets to each other on the black market—hopefully, almost everyone who wanted to go to E-Ball managed to get a ticket.”

Despite the large number of guests attending, some students thought the table arrangements over the three floors of CIEMAS’ study tower restricted conversation.

“I would rather have [E-Ball] in the style ofDuke Royale or DukePlays,” senior Advait Kotecha said. “It should be more of a social thing than a social dinner. I could-

Thompson announces bid for presidency

LUKE

FRAZZA/AGENi

IE FRANCE PREI

Former health and humanservices secretary Tommy Thompson will run for the Republican presidential nomination.

WASHINGTON (AP) Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson joined the crowded field of Republicans running for the White House in 2008 Sunday and proclaimed himself the “reliable conservative” in the race.

Thompson, who was health and human services secretary during President George W. Bush’s first term, also said he is the only GOP candidate who has helped assemble both a state and federal budget.

Since announcing last year he was forming a presidential exploratory committee to raise money and gauge support, Thompson has lagged behind betterknown rivals.

Thompson, 65, has focused his strategy on lowa, which holds the nation’s first caucuses for presidential nominees. He has made weekly visits to the state and sought to make the case that it will take a candidate who can carry the Midwest to win the nomination.

“Things are starting to coalesce, and I feel very, very optimistic about my future,” Thompson said Sunday, despite his single-digit polling. “I am the reliable conservative. My record shows that. All that people have to do is look at my record, and I am one individual that they can count on.”

He discussed campaign issues such as the Iraq war, the war spending bills in Congress and the handling of the fired federal prosecutors.

Thompson said he would have “a completely different Iraq strategy” from the president’s. He said he would “demand” that the Iraqi government vote as to whether it wanted the U.S. to remain in the country.

If the answer were yes, Thompson said '

“it immediately gives a degree of legitimacy.” If the answer were no, “We would get out, absolutely. It’s a duly elected government,” he added.

Thompson also commented that he would veto the war spending bills in Congress that have timelines for a U.S. exit from Iraq. “This is an invitation to continue the kind of civil war that’s going on right now. I think it’s the worst mistake,” he said.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has made “terrible mistakes” in the handling of the fired federal prosecutors, Thompson said. “I would not have appointed Mr. Gonzales..! would have appointed somebody that was loyal to me,” he added.

At a recent news conference in Wisconsin, Thompson called himself “the dark horse candidate.”

“I was a dark horse candidate for governor. I was a dark horse candidate when I ran for the Assembly. I am the underdog, and I don’t mind that,” he said.

The son of a grocer, Thompson spent 14 years as governor of Wisconsin, pushing for an overhaul of the state’s welfare laws.

He also championed a school choice program for Milwaukee.

His time in Bush’s cabinet included anthrax attacks, a flu vaccine shortage and passage of the Medicare prescription drug benefit law.

In 2006, he briefly flirted with the idea of running for governor but in theend decided not to seek his old job. He had considered running for president in 2000 but scrapped that, too, deciding he lacked support.

The leading GOP candidates in the race include former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Cunningham, a double major in international comparative studies and Chinese, helped to start a boarding school in Muhuru Bay, Kenya, known as the Women’s Institute for Secondary Education and Research. He is currently in China with Duke’s study abroad program.

Truman Scholars are selected for a number of criteria, including academic scholarship, leadership abilities and a commitment to a career in public service.

Recipients of a Truman Scholarship receive $30,000 for graduate study, as well as priority admission and supplemental financial aid to top graduate programs.

Scholars are also given access to leadership training and career counseling. This year 65 students from 56 U.S. institutions were selected to be Truman Scholars.

In addition to the Truman Scholarship, Cunningham is also the recipient of the GoldmanSachs Global Leadership Award, which he was awarded in 2006, and the Robertson Scholarship, which fully funds his Duke tuition. While at Duke, Cunningham has been devoted to children’s rights and education and has been active in global public service, including trips to Jamaica and India.

To reduce epileptic seizures, implants are sometimes introduced into the human cortex, but conventional probes are often oversized or too hot for appropriate use, von Windheim said. Small cooling devices can be used to decrease temperatures by 5 to 10 degrees Celsius by attachment to the im-

planted probe.

Non-student committee members include Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, Barry Myers, senior associate dean for industrial partnerships and research commercialization in the Pratt School of Engineering and director of the Duke Center of Entrepreneurship and Research Commercialization, and Jon Fjeld, executive director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Fuqua. “[The focus] is more on making the committee an effective one for connecting you to the kinds of resources that you want,” Myers said Friday to the students on the committee. “You’d be connected to folks who do get it, who know people, who are committed.”

The committee emerges at a time when Duke is planning to hire a faculty member to aid in student business planning as well as to allot new building space for student entrepreneurs.

“As far as this kind of venture being in line with the priorities of President [Richard] Brodhead and Vice President Moneta, I think it is,” Gross said. “In the Campus Culture Initiative, it says there should be a ‘thriving and energetic’ campus environment, and this really contributes.”

The committee looked at similar initiatives at other schools for guidance in its discussion about DUBARC’s role at the University in the future.

trepreneurship,” Longenecker said. “It’s a shame because the Research Triangle is such a great, vibrant community for that.

The resources are there, but they’re so scattered, and there’s not one place that students know they want to go to if they have ideas.”

DUBARC plans to raise a venture fund separate from existing University funds.

Members of the organization will use this money to award grants to student businesses approved by the committee.

“It’s become a very explosive trend throughout the country to stimulate entrepreneurial thought,” Gross said.

“While it’s somewhat difficult to teach entrepreneurship, if you promote some sort of mindset among the students, then business problems and social problems can be addressed.”

Several speakers discussed the potential role of North Carolina’s workforce and technological sectors.

Lance Kress, senior vice president of High Performance Coadngs—based in Whitsett, N.C. —discussed nanotechnology at his firm.

The company manufactures nanocoating, which provides heat and corrosion resistance for materials used in aerospace, automotive and medical engineering.

One of the company’s tools provides wing protection for aerospace vehicles from rain by delaying the onset of buildup on the wing, for instance, Kress said.

HPC recendy moved to North Carolina in response to a growing customer base on the eastern United States and in Europe. The available workforce—including many laid-off workers from the texdle industry—also attracted HPC, he said.

URBAN HIKE from page 1

“Colonel Sanders liked to go stand [his life-size fiberglass statue] and take the same pose,” he said. “Customers would come into the shop and he would move, and the customers would jump.”

Schelp also took the hikers past a house from the days of Prohibition which he said still smells like liquor when it rains—and the house on Knox Street where an assistant professor at Duke once kept 65 exotic snakes.

Other historical places discussed on the tour included a cemetery where poor black and white Durham residents were buried side by side, the Italian-built wall that surrounds East Campus and a corner close to campus where Schelp said drug deals were being made daily seven years ago.

Schelp added that the rich history of west Durham was a result of the open relationship between the city and the Uninext to

a member of the Sierra Club in Durham. “He’s Durham’s national

Janet Hitti, treasure.”

When the tour reached East Campus, Schelp led the group past the Ark, Duke’s dance studio and the site of the first Trinity College basketball game.

The Ark is made out of wood salvaged from the grandstand of a horse race track that once encircled East Campus, Schelp said.

“Only two can walk in at a time goihg up the gangplank into the Ark, like Noah’s Ark,” he said, adding that Madonna—an American Dance Festival student in the ’7Os—lived in Gilbert-AddomsResidence Hall for a summer and took early dance lessons at the Ark. Schelp said Duke and Durham were very different in the past, when the neighborhood smelled like a laundromat because of smoke puffing from the cotton mills and when Campus Drive once led to the Ann Roney Fountain behind what is now the East Duke Building.

Among other things, Schelp added that Whole Foods on Broad Street used to be part of the field where mill workers played baseball and that the gap in the East Campus wall—now planted with cypress trees—was once a ticket counter that kept people from watching football games without paying.

“They built Duke Hospital on top of [a] boneyard,” he said, adding that this change is an example of how different the University used to be.

On Ninth Street, Schelp spoke about former local businesses like Durham’s first Kentucky Fried Chicken, now an art studio.

“Everything has connections,” he said.

“The more Duke students learn about these connections, the more they appreciate Durham.”

Even though some of the hikers have spent their whole lives in Durham, many said they have still not gotten to learn about all of the area’s history.

“I learned more today than I have in the last six to four years,” said Freddie Cable, who grew up in Durham and currendy lives in the city.

Susan Wilkins, whose grandparents opened Bullocks Bar-B-Que in Durham, and Peggy Schaeffer, who has lived in Durham 27 years, said they enjoyed the informative nature of the hike.

“These little details make everyday life more interesting,” Schaeffer said. “It opens your eyes.”

Sophomore Jay Otto, who lives two doors down from Dugoni and Ramsey, said he is worried that the mold has been there for a period of time without being noticed.

“I assume the mold doesn’t grow over night, so it’s probably been there for a while,” Otto said.

He added that RLHS said the appearance of the mold is due to some work they were doing on the system over Spring Break.

some said there is concern over the possibility of shutting down air conditioning in the building —a measure RLHS took last August when mold was found in Edens 3A and 38.

Ramsey said RLHS should not shut down the air conditioning system since there are only a few weeks left of school.

“It’s not too bad,” he said. “We can probably last until summer, I don’t want them to shut down A/C.” Dugoni said he agreed, adding that RLHS should examine the system fully in the summer when all the residents have moved out.

Residents in other halls said they were unaware of the presence of mold in their building until they received Hull’s e-mail

2 North Carolina policemen shot CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) A suspect was charged with murder Sunday, less than 24 hours after two CharlotteMecklenburg police officers were fatally shot during a domestic disturbance call at an apartment complex.

Demetrius Antonio Montgomery, 25, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, said police spokesperson Officer Bob Fey. “This is alt ongoing investigation,” the spokesperson said when asked if there were other suspects.

The two officer were shot late Saturday during a struggle outside an apartment complex and died early Sunday.

Sean Clark, 34, and Jeffrey Shelton, 35, were the first officers from the CharlotteMecklenburg department fatally shot in the line of duty in more than a decade.

“It’s a real tragedy for us, the officers, for the families, for the communities, that we’ve lost two in one incident,” said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Chief Darrel Stephens.

Stephens said the two officers were responding to a disturbance call around 10:30 p.m. Saturday night at the apartment complex in east Charlotte. They were shot around 11:15 p.m. in the parking lot during a struggle. Neither fired their weapon, Stephens said.

Clark and Shelton were taken to Carolinas Medical Center, where they later died. Clark had been with the police department for a year, and Shelton had worked there since 2001.

Police blocked a road near the apartment complex for several hours overnight.

Police used patrols, a helicopter, K-9 units

and a SWAT team during the search “We have an enormous number of questions in our minds about what happened, and how it happened, that we don’t have the answers to right now,” said Stephens, adding later, “We don’t have suspects at this point.”

Both officers were married. Clark, a 1991 graduate of West Mecklenburg High School who had worked for the department for a little more than a year, and his wife were expecting a child. Shelton was a six year veteran of the force.

A Charlotte officer was last shot and killed on duty in 1993, when officers John Burnette and Andy Nobles died chasing Alden Harden through Charlotte, The Charlotte Observer reported on its website.

Harden was convicted a year later and is on North Carolina’s death row.

“And so far we have been treated very well by all the people here. They have looked after us and made sure there’s been enough food and we've been treated very well by them so we thank them for that.”

The second sailor, identified as Lt. Felix Carman, pointed to an area on the map and said that location was where he and the 14 others were arrested.

“I’d like to say to the Iranian people, I can understand why you are so angry about our intrusion intoyour waters,” he said.

The newscaster said the two had confessed to “illegally” trespassing in Iranian waters.

Al-Alam broadcast longer videos of the Britons- earlier this week, including footage on Friday of captured marine Nathan Thomas Summers apologizing for entering Iranian waters “without permission” and admitting to trespassing in Iranian waters.

He was shown sitting with another serviceman and the female British sailor Faye Turney against a floral curtain. Both servicemen wore camouflage fatigues with a Royal Navy label on their chests and a litde British flag stitched to their left sleeves.

Al-Alam also aired video on Wednesday showing Turney wearing a headscarf and saying: “Obviously we trespassed.”

Iran has also made public three letters purportedly written by Turney. The last letter contained an apology.

Britain has denounced the videos, calling them “propaganda” and “outrageous.”

Iran’s decision to air three videos on its Arabic-language TV channel, rather than on its main Farsi channels has not been explained. But it appears to be an attempt to seek support from Arabs in Iraq and the Gulf states, where many resent Britain’s military deployment in Iraq and its historical role as a colonial power in the region.

Earlier on Sunday, British Defense Secretary Des Browne said his government was in “direct, bilateral communication with the Iranians.” A Ministry of Defense spokeswoman said Browne was referring to letters and other contacts between diplomats, rather than any new face-toface talks.

newsreel cameraman wounded in the Pacific theater, Morton was back home when he inherited Grandfather Mountain from his grandfather.

That year, 1952, he built the road to the top and the Mile-High Swinging Bridge. He went on to build a reputation as a promoter of state tourism, from helping save the battleship USS North Carolina, to fighting air polluters, to leading an effort to adopt a Ridge Law to protect mountain peaks.

Along the way, he was constantly snapping images of events and characters and became a celebrity himself.

“He was such a tough person a lot of people couldn’t fathom that he wouldn’t be around,” said Crae Morton. “As his grandson, I was somewhat in that category.”

While many family businesses are ruined by disagreements after the death of a strong central figure, the Mortons say they are united in a vision for the future of GrandfatherMountain.

“Ultimately we all have the same opinions for what really matters for the mountain, which is preserving it as a nature park and keeping it open to the public,” Crae Morton said.

Every vote has been unanimous so far among the six family members on the board of directors, he and others said.

Among the changes, Morton plans a research center at the base of the mountain. It would be independently operated by at least two well-known scientific organizations.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRANDFATHER MOUNTAIN, N.C. Crae Morton is walking toward the MileHigh Swinging Bridge when a visitor introduces himself.

“Are you Hugh’s grandson?” says Jimmy Allen of Wake Forest. “We miss him....

Thank you for what you’re doing here.”

“Thank you, I haven’t been here long enough to mess things up,” jokes Morton, 34, who is the grandson of Hugh Morton, the name most associated with Grandfather Mountainfor more than 50 years.

They share a name—Crae is Hugh McCrae Morton III—and they worked together starting in 2003. His grandfather appointed Crae president in 2005.

“It was a difficult day for him, less to do with me than with the passing of the baton,” Morton said. “Although, let me tell you, my title was president, but while Hugh Morton was alive this was his mountain and he ran things.”

When Hugh Morton died of cancer last June at 85, he left behind a legacy in more than 4,000 acres of conservation easements that will forever protect Grandfather Mountain from development.

Still, with spring marking the start of the 55th season at GrandfatherMountain as a tourist attraction, his family is making its mark with changes to advance the park’s reputation as a science and research center.

More than 600 suspected of Katrina fraud by

Sharon Cohen

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An Illinois woman mourns her two young daughters, swept to their deaths in Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters. It’s a tragic and terrifying story. It’s also a lie.

An Alabama woman applies for disaster aid for hurricane damage. She files 28 claims for addresses in four states. It’s all a sham.

Two California men help stage Internet auctions designed to help Katrina relief organizations. Those, too, are bogus.

More than 18 months after Hurricane Katrina decimated the Gulf Coast, authorities are chipping away at a mountain of fraud cases that, by some estimates, involve thousands of people who bilked the federal government and charities out of hundreds of millions of dollars intended to aid storm victims.

The full scope of Katrina fraud may never be known, but this much is clear: It stretches far beyond the Gulf Coast, like the hurricane evacuees themselves. So far, more than 600 people have been charged in federal cases in 22 states—from Florida to Oregon—and the District of Columbia.

The frauds range in value from a few thousand dollars to more than $700,000.

Complaints are still pouring in and several thousand possible cases are in the pipeline—enough work to keep authorities busy for five to eight years, maybe more.

“The reason we’re seeing such widespread fraud is individuals were evacuated to all 50 states. Katrina was a national phenomenon,” says David Dugas, U.S. attorney in Baton Rouge, La., and directorof a command center that’s part of a special Hurricane Katrina FraudTaskForce. “Everybody

CHAD CUSTER/THE CHRONICLE

Thousands of people have allegedly made fraudlent claims regarding damage inflicted by Hurricane Katrina. knew what was going on. Therefore, criminals knew what was going on.”

Major disasters and fraud frequendy go hand in hand. It happened after the Sept, -11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Andrew's devastating sweep through Florida in 1992. People tried to cash in, falsely claiming to be victims.

After Katrina, the same thing happened; Disaster aid was sent to inmates

who applied from prison and to people who claimed property damage and provided addresses of vacant lots or cemeteries, among many abuses documented in Goveminent Accountability Office reports.

“We found several dozen schemes, There are probably a lot more out there,” says Gregory Kutz, a GAO investigator who has testified about Katrina fraud six times on Capitol Hill. “The real clever ones

cover their trail and disappear and they’ll never be caught.”

GAO undercover investigators demonstrated how easy it was to cheat the system: Using phony names, Social Security numbers and addresses of damaged residences—such as the 13th floor of a two-story, building—they still received several checks.

While many people filed bogus claims, the growing roster of the accused goes beyond the usual con artists. It includes employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers, other public officials, business owners, even temporary workers for the Red Cross.

“You can find criminals in every walk of life and that’s what we're seeing here,” Dugas says.

The GAO has referred more than 22,000 potential cases of fraud to the Katrina task force, though Dugas says the majority probably will not pan out. In a recent audit, the GAO also concluded FEMA had recovered less than 1 percent of some $1 billion investigators claim was fraudulent aid.

FEMA believes the fraud total may be inflated but says it won’t have an estimate until later this year. Kutz’s response: “I don’t think they know the magnitude of the problem.”

FEMA also says the relative scope ofKatrina fraud isn’t that unusual.

“I don’t think the numbers are proportionally too far away from what we normally experience in a disaster,” says David Garratt, FEMA’s acting recovery director.

“It’s extraordinary only in terms of the size of the population that was affected.”

collection of student opinions and to lobby on behalf of students in the wake of the CC3 report. His idea to split the VP of Q and the ICC president into two positions is also a good one, although it needs to be fleshed out more. Giordano knows better than anyone the responsibilities of the two positions, so he should be able to figure out the correct way to implement the change.

Giordano’s ideas for improving the DSG Senate, although clearly a reaction to DSG’s operations this year, are insightful and useful. Giordano wants to help DSG senators grow into candidates for Executive Board positions, and his plans to mentor them, provide direction and keep them involved all further this goal.

He calls for a. retreat to

Hillel endorses DSG candidates The Duke Hillel wishes to endorse the following candidates for the positions of president, executive vice president and community interaction. Based on a strong record with Duke Student-Governmentand an active role in multiple cultural groups, we endorse junior Kristin Pfeiffer for president Sophomore Jordan Giordano’s success as VP of community interaction, along with his knowledge of the workings ofDSG and ideas about improving the overall makeup of the body, make him the best candidate for executive vice president Freshman Lee Strasburger’s unique ideas for strengthening the Intercommunity Council and improving its functions make him our choice for VP of community interaction. After meeting with all of the qualified candidates, we believe thatthese individuals will invigorate DSG with new ideas and strong leadership. The decisions were difficult, and we thank all of the candidates for their time. Good luck!

teach senators how to do their jobs by telling them who the top administrators are in their

areas, explaining parliamentary procedure and instructing them abouthow to write legislation. He also wants to throw a barbecue at which senators can meet and chat with administrators. In addition, Giordano suggests assigning returning senators to mentor new members.

Giordano also recognizes that DSG has had an adversarial relationship with other student groups, and he makes a point of saying that he would reach out to the Union and Campus Council, among other organizations. He has the ideas, the background and the motivation to excel as EVP. The Chronicle formally endorses Jordan Giordano for executive vice president.

exams to be posted online, but professors will not do that simply because DSG asks them to.

A University calendar, off-campus bus routes and supporting tailgate are promises made every election season, and it’s difficult to see Crable, who has experience almost solely in finance, fulfilling them.

Crable’s platform also shows a lack of initiative. Many of his planks would be implemented solely online; an online database of lectures and exams, an online list of academic resources and an online University calendar, just to name a few.

A more proactive platform would better serve Crable.

Giordano recognizes the importance of focusing on the Campus Culture Initiative to bring about practical changes.

For the position of vice president of student affairs the BSA hereby endorses sophomore Madison Li for her innovative ideas on improving the interaction of students and faculty and utilizing the spaces currendy on campus to enhance social life. We have also chosen to support sophomore Jordan Giordano in his bid for the office of executive vice president We felt both EVP candidates were extremely qualified and could offer great insight in the role; however, we determined that Giordano was more focused on engaging Duke students in the business of the DSG, ultimately creating more transparency in the organization. Lastly, the BSA formally endorses junior Paul Slattery for DSG president because ofhis proven track record in advocating on behalfof students, his expansive knowledge of current University policy and his specific ideas for implementing change.

EUssaLemer Trinity ’OB President, Duke Hillel Pinwheel offenders despicable To the students who destroyed the pinwheel project the other night: I am disgusted to call you my peers. Your behavior represents the disrespect, sense of entidement and arrogance that characterizes far too many people on this campus.

I watched from my window a few days ago as the students from the Women’s Center and other organizations set up the pinwheels over the course of several hours. And I screamed at you from my window as you destroyed their work in a matter of seconds. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so angry... I was shaking. Don’t you know what these pinwheels mean to hundreds of Duke women? To me?

If you DO know what the pinwheels mean (and I feel sure that you do), than you must feel ashamed. If you do not know, then let me tell you.

President, Black Student Alliance

DSG elections need rethinking Every year I see the same thing. People run for Duke Student Government, they create these “platforms” and make many promises to the student body.

Facebook groups are created, fliers made and signs hung. You see juniorElliott Wolf walk around in a suit.

Why? The promises are rarely fulfilled, the fliers litter the campus, making some poor employee spend hours cleaning them up, and although Wolf looks dapper, does he really do anything?

What we need is a grassroots campaign that eases up on the promises and the wasteful abuse of fliers, basing its success purely on charisma. A perfect example of this occurred two years ago at N.C. State. The Pirate Captain, as the student referred to himself, walked around campus everyday dressed as a pirate, complete with eye patch and parrot He simply let the wacldness of his idea be the campaign, and he took the election by storm. Most people in the studentgovernment community criticized his actions as making too much of a joke out of the organization. The voters disagreed because they, like many of us at Duke, are sick of the futility of student government.

Now I am not saying everyone running for DSG should dress up as a pirate, ninja, wench or other recycled Halloween costume, hut ultimately, we need something new. No more promises you don’t intend to keep, and somebody please clean up those fliers. If you post 2,000 fliers, you and no one else should have to clean them up. Didn’t your mothers teach you to clean up after yourselves? .

Tailgate meets the real world WASHINGTON

loween. People—get this—did things other than drink.

There were basketball hoops set up, while some local prep school kids tossed around a lacrosse ball. “Don’t go to law school,” a 50-something lawyer told us while sipping on Yuengling. Like much of the older crowd there, he was wearing a “Disbar Nifong” sweatshirt.

The Duke Club of Washington had originally anticiWould there be alcohol at all?

I’ve

been to a lot of Duke Student Government meetings this year, and let me tell you, they are not exacdy the highlight ofmy week. Don’t get me wrong, I find DSG very intriguing. But the meetings themselves are, well, boring.

I will note, however, that the meetings could be a lot worse. Luckily, Executive Vice President Joe Fore, a senior, knows what’s up. He runs the meetings smoothly and efficiently. And I honesdy think he sleeps with a copy of Robert’s Rules of Order under his pillow. He’s just plain good at what he does.

That being said, Tuesday marks this year’s DSG elections, and I’m optimistic for next year. Sophomores Alex Crable and Jordan Giordano are vying for EVP, and in light ofFore’s example of allie vergotz down and dirty with dsg «re leadership, I think this is the one match-up of all the races that every student should look at most seriously.

Crable and Giordanohave both been assets to DSG this year, and I find it a shame that one will have to lose this race.

Both are experienced in DSG. Giordano currently holds the position of vice president of community interaction, while Crable serves as the chair of the Student Organization Finance Committee.

Both are well-spoken. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with each of them one-on-one and to listen to them address the entire Senate; they handle both situations with poise and power.

Both are driven. Crable and Giordano have both accomplished a lot this year in DSG. Crable can boast of the University keg fund, while Giordano successfully chaired the Young Trustee Nominating Committee.

I honesdy believe either candidate could hold this position next year and do great things for DSG. The student body just needs to consider what those great things will be.

Giordano is focused on improving DSG as a whole by shifting some responsibilities from the president, updating the bylaws and holding a constitutional convention to revise DSG’s governing document. He also hopes to be a great help to the other vice presidents, a goal he has because he has served on two offour DSG committees and held a vice presidential position himself. Lasdy, he hopes to tackle the Campus Culture Initiative report by gathering opinions from anyone and everyone and sharing them in open conversations with Provost Peter Lange.

Crable plans to take a different approach to the position.

First, he hopes to improve the DSG structure through greater distribution and collection of information, including polling data on how students feel about DSG actions. He also aims to improve student life both through supporting the performing arts and creating a “functional University calendar” complete with opt-in RSS feeds. Finally, he wants students to “have a voice in issues that will affect us in years to come,” highlighting the CGI and Central Campus.

Considering my respect for Fore, I asked each candidate individually that single aspect of the way Fore served they would change. Surprisingly, they both responded in the same way; both desire to push more personal projects and legislation.

Crable and Giordano each added that he had respect for his opponent, and they both enjoy joking with each other as they go through the campaigning process. Crable even noted that he and Giordano texted back-and-forth last Wednesday morning about whose Chronicle photo was more embarrassing.

These candidates both bring strong leadership to the table and a sense ofhumor to boot.

I can honestly say as I write this column that yesterday I had every intention of voting for Crable, today, for Giordano, and I couldn’t tell you whose side I’ll be on come tomorrow.

I strongly encourage the student body to do its research for this position. I feel that for most of the other positions, there is at least one candidate who stands out above the rest, but for this one, it’s a crapshoot.

I have no doubt either of these men will get done what he aims to or at the very least, give it his all. Take the time to decide which platform is more reflective of what you want to see on campus. Each candidate has a very informative website and a Facebook group. Before you vote, use all that time you already spend on Facebook to actually accomplish something.

Give each candidate the time and consideration he deserves.

May the best man win.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Coach G heads for Cleveland without decision by

Ben Cohen

Since interviewing last week for the vaposition at Texas, Goestenkors has not given any public indication whether she wall remain in Durham or move to Austin. The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday that Texas of» fered Goestenkors $BOO,OOO to become the Longhorns’ next coach.

Goestenkors’ salary is not public information, but she makes less than $530,000 based on Duke’s most recent tax filings.

In Austin, she toured the basketball facilities and spoke with several administrators, including Texas women’s athletics director Chris Plonsky. Goestenkors and Plonsky have worked together for 10 years on Team USA business.

While in Texas, Goestenkors did not meet with any current Longhorn players.

Since leaving for the interview, she has not met with the current Duke team, several Blue Devils said Thursday at the rally. She has exchanged text messages with some players—including Lindsey Harding, who was alsq in Cleveland this weekend to accept national awards—but she has not given the players any indication of which way she is leaning.

Duke’s coach of 15 years returned to North Carolina Thursday but did not attend a support rally held that evening outside her office in the Schwartz-Butters cant head coaching

THE CHRONICLE"

After meeting Friday morning with Director of Athletics Joe Alieva, Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors flew to Cleveland without deciding where she will coach next season.

A source familiar with the discussions said Goestenkors’ meeting with Alieva was productive, but there is still no firm timetable for a decision.

“I would like to make the decision as soon as possible just for peace ofmind and peace of heart,” Goestenkors said Saturday in Cleveland. “Texas is a job that I always thought was one of the best jobs in the country, and so that was very appealing.”

Goestenkors traveled to Cleveland for the festivities surrounding the 2007 Final Four. On Saturday, she accepted the Associated Press Coach of the Year award, and on Monday she will receive the same recognition from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

She will be met Monday by a series of supportive measures taken by the Duke community to convince her to remain at the helm of the Blue Devils. Alieva and a contingent of boosters will be in attendance as Goestenkors accepts the WBCA award.

Goestenkors will also be greeted in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer with a fullpage advertisement urging her to stay at Duke. The ad was furnished by the “Friends of Duke Women’s Basketball,” the same group that paid for a two-page ad in The Chronicle last Thursday and a one-page ad Friday.

After finishing her business in Cleveland,

Duke is still awaiting a decision from Gail Goestenkors on where she will coach next season—Duke or Texas.

Goestenkors’ timetableis still constricted, as she leaves for Italy Friday to resume her assistant coaching duties for Team USA. “[Goestenkors has] met with our athletic director before she went into regionals,”

Jackie Silar, associate athletics director and Duke’s senior women’s administrator, told the Durham Herald-Sun. “They talked extensively on the vision they have for

women’s athletics and especially for women’s basketball at Duke. They’ve impressed upon her how much they want her to remain at Duke and coach at Duke.”

doubles point. After the teams split the matches at the first and second seeds, Duke’s third seed of Peter Rodrigues and Kiril Dimitrov overcame FSU’s Jean-Yves Aubone and Bradley Mixson 8-6 to earn the point.

In singles, Duke led throughout most of the afternoon after Joey Atas easily won his match in two quick sets, and Dimitrov fought his way to a 7-5, 7-6 win as the top seed to clinch the 5-2 victory for the Blue Devils.

“I thought our guys were really competitive against a tough Florida State team,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “We played every point with intensity and fire, and we were very happy to come away with the win.”

Sunday’s match against the Hurricanes (9-9, 4-3) was a rematch of the two teams’ meeting in January’s Miami Invitational, in which the Hurricanes got the best of Duke in Coral Gables. On that occasion, Miami’s doubles performed stronger than the Blue Devils, but the Duke coaching staff was able to make some adjustments.

“We had a lot of notes on them, but when we saw them down there in January, it was a chance to size up their strengths and weaknesses and put together a game plan,” Lapidus said.

The match began at Ambler Tennis Stadium as well but was moved into the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center early in singles play because of inclimate weather.

At that point, the Blue Devils held a 1-0 lead thanks to a doubles victory by Dylan Arnould and Alex Stone.

Once inside, Duke found itself in an extremely competitive match, and Miami’s Luigi D’Agord set the tone with an emphatic two-set win over the Blue Devils’ Atas.

The dual match advanced to 3-3, and the only match still in progress involved fifth seed Amould and Miami’s Barnabas Carrega.

Amould lost the first set 7-5, but came back to dominate the second, 6-1. In the deciding third set, Amould fought off two game points at 3-3, broke his opponent’s serve and did not lose another game on his way to a 63 clincher. The win earned the Blue Devils a 4-3 overall victory over the Hurricanes.

“Dylan has come through three or four times now with the last match in the third set,” Lapidus said. “He is just a very good pressure player, and he’s able to raise the level when the time comes. But I think Dylan was certainly glad to go indoors, because the Miami guys aren’t as comfortable playing inside, and we were very used to it.”

Duke will look to extend its four-game winning streak when it takes on Wake Forest Wednesday afternoon at Ambler. The match against the Demon Deacons will mark the fourth game of the team’s sixgame homestand.

Sanford's sudden-death goal caps comeback by

David Ungvary THE CHRONICLE

Looking at the scoreboard at halftime, the Blue Devils probably would not have believed that their senior captain Leigh Jester would eventually call Saturday’s contest at Virginia the “most unbelievable lacrosse game” that she has ever been a part of.

Down 10-5 to the No. 4 Cavaliers (9-2, 2-2 in the ACC) at the end of the first period, fifth-ranked Duke (-9-1, 2-1) found itself facing what seemed like an insurmountable DUKE deficit. NevertheVIRGINIA lis less, the Blue Devils rallied back from an emotionless start to secure an exhilarating 19-18 comeback win in triple overtime.

With 13 seconds left in the third overtime, a sudden death period, a wide-open Rachel Sanford received a pass from Kristin Waagbo in front of the net and tucked away the game-winning goal.

“The way we came back from such a deficit, and the way we finished off the game is something to really be proud of and really showed the kind of character that we have,” Waagbo said. “It was definitely one of the best and well-fought games I’ve ever played in.”

The game went back and forth late in the second half, with each team answering the other’s offensive attack by dismanding the opposing defense. But with less than a minute left in regulation, Duke was down 18-17 and had all the pressure to score.

With only 20 seconds remaining, junior Caroline Cryer found senior attacker Waagbo. for a game-tying goal—her sixth score bn the day—that would send the game into overtime.

With the comeback completed, the Blue Devils took the game into their hands and controlled the contest through overtime. Over all three extra periods,

Duke allowed the Cavaliers just one shot on net, compared to the Blue Devils’ nine.

“At the end of the game [we were] running off of the emotion of us coming back,” Jester said. “It was sudden-death overtime, and we had the upper hand because we’d come back [when] we were down 10-5. We just had the mental edge.”

The Blue Devils did not have that edge through the entire game, however.

Duke has been plagued by slow starts recendy, and when Virginia jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the first 13 minutes of play,, it seemed as if the team’s seasonlong issue was again keeping it from getting into the game.

“When things aren’t going your way, you have to show a lot of emotion and compete, and I don’t think we were doing that,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “The whole idea of playing with emotion and passion for lacrosse has been kind of a theme for us in the last week or so, and to come out and not do it in the first half was

really disappointing.”

In the locker room following the dismal opening half, Duke captain Michelle Menser spoke to her team about its disappointing lackluster performance, hoping light a fire under her teammates.

“Michelle really spoke with emotion and tried to get the team out of the firsthalf slump we were in,” said Sanford, a senior midfielder. “I think everyone realized that we weren’t out of the game yet.”

In addition to Menser’s strong words, Kimel was proactive in deciding to replace starting goalkeeper Kim Imbesi with junior Reagan Bosch earlyin the second half. Jester credited Bosch’s back-to-back saves right after she was subbed-in for giving Duke’s offense time to gain some momentum.

It was clear the Blue Devils responded to their captain’s speech as well as Kimel’s confidence in Bosch, tying the game 12-12 just more than 11 minutes into the second perito

From that point on, Duke was able to stay with Virginia, but unable to put the game out of reach. The Blue Devils, however, had a physical advantage over the Cavaliers, who could not capitalize as Duke did on substitutions off the bench.

“We were still playing with the mindset that Virginia only played 13 players, so we

had considerably more depth,” Sanford said. “We knew we weren’t as tired as they were, so I think that gave us a little bit of a mental edge.”

Whatever the edge was, it was enough.

After capping off the comeback on the road against a formidable ACC opponent, the Blue Devils will return home before preparing for their next trip—which includes a rematch against No. 1 Northwestern, which beat Duke in last year’s Final Four.

Coming off a week in which he won ACC Pitcher of the Week, Tony Bajoczkypitched theBlue Devils to an upset victory over top-ranked FSU.

weekend.

It took only two pitches Friday for the Seminoles (292, 8-1 ACC) to smack a home run over the left field wall. Just one FSU later, Florida State scored inning DUKE five unearned runs on their way to a 15-3 beating of the Blue Devils (20-11, 2-10).

FSU Head coach Sean McNally, DUKE however, knew that his players had the potential to upset the FSU Seminoles even though they had given up 18 hits and committed DUKE five errors in the series opener.

“I told them that’s not Duke baseball,” McNally said. “[We] are a good team. It’d say a lot if we came back Saturday—win or lose—and just be sharp and concentrate and focus and be much better mentally and physically and fundamentally.”

McNally looked to senior and Tallahassee, Fla. native Tony Bajoczky to turn in the upset victory. Bajoczky, who had just won ACC Pitcher of the Week and knew many of Florida State’s players, did not disappoint Saturday.

Over six and two thirds innings, he held the Seminoles to just six hits and four runs, as Duke used a six-run second inning to pull off the 8-5 victory Saturday and handed Florida State its first loss of the ACC season. “[The win] gives a tangible belief that we’re improving every single day,” McNally said. “It gives our kids something to really grab onto. They can say, ‘We beat Florida State.’”

Over the course of the game, Bajoczky kept the Seminoles off balance, never letting them get comfortable. Bajoczky's pitching did not allow Florida State to score more than one run in any inning, a feat unmatched in Friday’s loss or Sunday’s 8-5 defeat.

Bajoczky’s efforts, though, would have meant little if the Blue Devils could not swing their bats well. Duke had averaged just 2.9 runs per game in 10 ACC games up to that point.

But in die second inning Saturday the Duke offense began to click and pile on runs. Junior Brett Bardes led off with a stand-up triple off the wall in center field to jumpstart the inning. After sophomore Tim Sherlock walked with one out, freshman Gabriel Saade lined the ball to (Tenter field to bring Bardes home.

The Seminoles got another out, but the inning had just begun for the Blue Devils.

Freshman Alexander Hassan swung on the first pitch he saw, driving the ball to the left field for two more runs.

Senior Jonathan Anderson smacked another hit up the middle for a double, scoring Hassan. Junior Jimmy Gallagher and sophomore Nate Freiman recorded RBI hits, giving Duke a safe 6-1 lead and chasing Seminoles pitcher Michael Hyde, who entered the game with an 8-0 record.

“I really expected it from the guys,” McNally said. “It gives us momentum going forward.”

In the other two contests, the Blue Devils could not contain Seminoles lead-off hitter Tony Thomas Jr. Over the three games, Thomas sent five balls over the fence for home runs and drove in eight runs.

Nevertheless, the win gives Dfcke confidence that it is going down the right path.

“I wish we could have finished the job [Sunday], but it was pretty special to beat them,” McNally said.

In his 34 years at

Duke, Rod Myers served as a mentorto many Duke golfers, including All-American Ryan Blaum (above).

MYERS from page 9 program to national prominence, he also made it into a family.

“Losing Rod is like losing a brother. Even more, it’s like losing a favorite brother,” women’s golf head coach Dan Brooks said. “His humor, his caring way, his ‘touch’ with all who knew him; he was the favorite brother in a huge and wonderful family that he created, simply .by being himself. Rod Myers has coached us all, on how to live our lives.”

Myers helped to shape the games and lives of young golfers, and the success of his life’s work is evident in their accomplishments.

Current PGA Tour member and former Duke golfer Joe Ogilvie attributed his ability to achieve both personally and professionally to the time he spent at Duke under the guid-

ance of Myers “I think the best coaches have the ability to mold their players into better men first and then make them better players second. Coach Myers had this ability,” Ogilvie said. “I matured and became a more complete person my four years under Coach and that translated into success both on and off the golf course.”

The passing of Myers has not only deeply affected the Duke golf community but the national one as well—with everyone from coaches at other universities to officials in the nation’s most important golf associations mourning the loss of one of their own.

Most agree that Myers set the standard when it came to how to run a college program.

“If someone’s looking for a model of how academics, athletics and ethics can be melded together to integrate college sport into the overall college experi-

ence, one need only look at the manner in which Coach Myers

conducted himself and led the Duke men’s golf team,” USGA Executive Director David Fay said. “My life is richer for having known Rod Myers.”

Myers is survived by his wife, Nancy, their three daughters— Kelly Elliott, Kathy McKinney and Kristen —and their five grandchildren.

He also has left an indelible mark on the Duke golf program and all those who he taught and cared for.

“This is a difficult time for everyone who loved Rod, but we have all been blessed by having known him,” interim head golf coach and close friend Brad Sparling said. “He made us all better people. The family that is Duke golf that Coach Myers created will move forward, we will continue to build on his legacy of greatness.”

Junior Daina Pucurs won the javelin with a throw of 166 feet and six inches and senior Debra Vento won the high jump with a 5foot-lOjump. Both athletes qualified for the NCAAs East Regional for the second week in a row.

Freshman Kate Van Burskirk won the 1,500-meter race widi a time of 4:27.15, which Ogilvie said was the fastest Duke freshman time ever to be clocked to qualify for the NCAA East Regional.

For the men, senior Pat Parrish battled with Michigan’s Mike Dobmeier to come away with the 5,000-meter race win in a time of 15:07.33. The mens pole vaulters finished with the top five spots at the meet with senior Jonathan Fay leading the way.

first time at the Stanford Invitational and one at the UNC Invitational this weekend, Duke has recorded one of its most successful starts in program history.

“Within the first two weeks of the outdoor season, we have already qualified for our most events ever,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said.

At Stanford, senior Sally Meyerhoff and sophomore Maddie McKeever finished ninth and 14th, respectively, in the 10,000meter race in a meet that Ogilvie said attracted the best runners in the country trying to qualify for the NCAAs. The runners responded to the high level of competition with the third- and fifthfastest times in Duke’s history.

MeyerhofTs time of 33:30.12 and McKeever’s time of 33:52.95 should qualify them for the NCAA Championships, Ogilvie said. Runners in the 10,000meter race qualify direcdy to the championships, bypassing the regional competition due to the grueling nature of the event.

Also at Stanford, senior Elle Pishny placed 16th in the 5,000meter race with a time of 16:47.62 to qualify for the NCAA East Regional while lowering her personal best by 20 seconds.

Women’s tennis drops two ACC matches Duke suffered a pair ofclose 4-3 road losses this weekend at No. 8 Clemson and No. 7 Georgia Tech.

Duke was edged out by Clemson 4-3 at the Hoke Sloan Tennis Center Saturday. The Blue Devils could not find their doubles game and handed the three matches to the Tigers. In their first loss this season, senior Daniela Bercek and sophomore Melissa Mang were stopped by Ani Mijacika and Federica van Adrichem, 8-6.

In singles play, Duke and Clemson split the matches 33, as Bercek, senior Tory Zawacki and freshman Amanda Granson clinched victories.

In Sunday’s match, Duke had trouble in singles play against Georgia Tech at the Bill Moore Tennis Center. The Blue Devils were 2-4 in singles action, as Granson and senior Clelia Deltour were the only Duke players to record wins.

Bercek and Mang rebounded from Saturday’s loss to defeat Whitney McCray and Kristi Miller, 9-8 (7-3).

Senior Kristin Cargill and freshman Elizabeth Plotkin fought back against Kirsten Flower and Tanyn Rudman 8-6 to give Duke the doubles point. But the deficitcreated by singles losses was too great and cost the Blue Devils’ the match.

Rowing team faces off in ACC-Big Ten Challenge The women’s rowing team competed in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge regatta Saturday at Lake Mondcello in Charlottesville, Va. The Blue Devils batded No. 2 Virginia, No. 4 Ohio State and No. 19 Michigan in a series of eight different faces in the morning and afternoon.

In the closest race of the meet for the Duke squads, the second varsity right was edged-out by Michigan, which finished the race in 7:oB.7—just more than seven seconds faster than the Blue Devils.

Duke will return to Charlottesville April 7 to compete against Central Florida and No. 17 Michigan State.
