RALEIGH The Disciplinary Hearing Commission of the North Carolina State Bar rejected a motion to dismiss the most serious ethics charges against Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong at a hearing Friday afternoon.

“We have reached a consensus that the motion to dismiss will be denied... because it requires us to consider matters outside of the face of the complaint which would be inappropriate for us to do,” said Lane Williamson, chair of the hearing commission, after listening to motions from Ni-

The Bar charged Nifong with breaking

several rules of professional conduct in his

handling of charges against three members of 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team.

It accused him in December of mak-

ing inflammatory pretrial statements to the media. The Bar added a charge in January of withholding potentially exculpatory DNA evidence from the defense.

The hearing came two days after North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dismissed all remaining charges against the indicted former players and harshly criticized Nifong’s conduct in the case.

Nifong’s lawyers, Dudley Witt and David Freedman, asked the three-member panel to drop the charges regarding Nifong’s SEE ETHICS ON PAGE 4

A second student was also detained under similar circumstances, but charges were not filed in Ryan Packer that case Packer does not currendy face disciplinary consequences by the University related to the incident, said Larry Moneta, vice president for student afiairs. Packer was suspended immediately following the incident.

Although she could not comment on the specifics of the case, Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said the University typically does not take further disciplinary steps against students when law enforcement officials say there is not enough evidence to do so.

“Generally speaking, if charges have been dropped, and we have no evidence to proceed, then there would be no University action taken,” Wasiolek said.

The Bar rejected a motion from Durham DA Mike Nifong to dismiss some of the ethics chargesagainst him.

For Liz Holt, Trinity ’Bl, the conclusion of the lacrosse case last week came as a relief.

“As an alum, I’m happy,” she said. “With all the inconsistencies the accuser had in her story, I think it’s appropriate that [the charges] were dropped.”

Holt is a member of one of 10 classes of Duke alumni that returned to an alma mater this past weekend that has been under intense national scrutiny for more than a year.

Alumni gathered for reunions just days after North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper announced the dismissal of all remaining charges against three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team.

Charges of rape against David Evans, Trinity ’O6, Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty were dropped in December, but until last week, the three still faced SEE ALUMNI ON PAGE 4

Storms batters, bruises East Coast by

Friday in Kansas and Texas

Karen Matthews

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A powerful nor’caster NEW YORK pounded the East with wind and pouring rain Sunday, grounding airlines and

threatening to create some of the worst coastal flooding some areas had seen in more than a decade.

The storm flooded people out of their homes in the middle of the night in West Virginia and trapped others. Other inland states faced a threat of heavy snow.

One person was killed as dozens of mobile homes were destroyed or damaged by wind in South Carolina. The storm system already had been blamed for five deaths

The Coast Guard had warned mariners to head for port because wind up to 55 mph was expected to generate seas up to 20 feet high, Petty Officer Etta Smith said Sunday in Boston.

Airlines canceled more than 400 flights at the New York area’s three major airports, said Steve Coleman, a spokesperson for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Kennedy Airport, on the wind-exposed south side of Ixmg Island, had sustained wind of 30 to 35 mph with gusts to 48 mph, said weather service meteorologist Gary Conte.

The storm forced the cancellation of five major league baseball games Sunday

and gave runners in Monday’s Boston Marathon something to worry about besides Heartbreak Hill. The race-day forecast called for 3 to 5 inches of rain, start temperatures in the 30s and wind gusts of up to 25 mph.

“I don’t like that,” professional Kenyan runner Stanley Leleito said playfully, burying his head in his hands when told of the forecast.

“The problem is that wind,” he said.

“But only rainy is OK” Heavy rain and thunderstorms extended from Florida up the coast to New England on Sunday. Wind gusted to 71 mph at Charleston, S.C., the weather service said.

Wolfowitz refuses to leave Bank post by

Harry Dunphy

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Embattled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz said Sunday he will continue to lead bank efforts to reduce global poverty, resisting calls to step down over his involvement in securing a huge pay increase for a close female friend.

“The bank has important work to do and I will continue to do it,” he said at a news conference winding up a meeting of the steering committee for the bank and the International Monetary Fund.

The committee said in its closing communique the Wolfowitz issue was “of great

concern to us all” and called on the bank board looking into the matter to complete its work.

“We have to ensure that the bank can effectively carry out its mandate and maintain its credibility and reputation as well as the motivation of its staff,” the committee said.

In answering questions from reporters about whether he should resign, Wolfowitz referred several times to the committee’s communique and said he did not want any comments he made to get in the way of the board’s work.

“I believe in the mission of this organi-

zation, I intend to carry it out, I have had many expressions of support,” he said.

Several times he was asked how he could continue as head of the 185-nation lending organization leading the fight against corruption after acknowledging a direct role in the pay increase, Wolfowitz referred to the communique.

After the news conference, Alison Cave, head of the World Bank Staff Association, which represents 7,000 of the bank’s Washington employees, said the group believes Wolfowitz should resign.

“We do not see how he can possibly regain the trust of the staff,” she said.

Hwang said. Examples include an afterschool program and a high school BRIDGE program, pairing students with high school alumni to conduct research projects, culminating in student presentations at InnoWorks Research Symposia; “InnoWorks is a summer camp, which leaves about 50 weeks when we’re not in contact with the kids, and we’re trying to fill that gap,” said senior Cyrus Amoozegar, director of the Summer 2007 program at Duke. “We’d like to go to different middle schools once or twice a month and do an activity we would normally do over the summer.”

Amoozegar said the mentors and staff noticed a visible change in the kids from the beginning of the program to the end, and that the students underwent a “metamorphosis of sorts.”

“A lot of these kids don’t know what opportunities the future holds. They come in with a negative attitude towards science and engineering, and our program generally

Gail Mills, business administrator of the Durham Rescue Mission, said she was jolted out ofbed shortly after midnight a week ago by news of a fire in the local homeless shelter she helped fouftd.

A spark from the wood stove that was being used to heat the facility had caused the food storage house to catch fire.

“It wasn’t long before a fire was blazing and our food supply was going up in smoke,” Mills wrote in an e-mail to local community groups urging them to help restock the food pantry. “I am so thankful to report that no one was injured.”

A week later, members of the community—including many Duke organizations—are answering Mills’ call to action through their efforts to replenish the Mission’s food pantry.

The Edens Quadrangle Council is running a food drive to collect canned goods and other non-perishables for the Mission.

“Why wouldn’t we try and help an organization in our own community?” said sophomore Jared Haftel, president of the Edens Quad Council and a Chronicle staff member.

The living area in the quad that donates the most food will receive a new ping-pong table for its efforts, Haftel said.

“This is just a case of one neighbor asking the rest of the neighborhood for some help,” Lisa Beth Bergene, assistant dean for residence life on East Campus, wrote in an e-mail.

Residential Life and Housing Services is also conducting a centralized food drive on East, where students and staff can donate food.

Other organizations have taken a more creative approach in their contributions to the Mission.

THE CHRONICLE

The next time Duke students buy a 13-ounce bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, they’ll find on the back a promotion for InnoWorks—a summer science and engineering camp for underprivileged middle schoolers created by William Hwang, Pratt ’O6.

United InnoWorks Academy, Inc. was honored last Thursday with a BRICK Award, which celebrates young people who strive to make the world better, in the William Hwang category of Education and Environment.

Hwang created the non-profit organization in 2003, and it now has chapters at nine other institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania, the College of the Bahamas and Effat College in Saudi Arabia.

“We want to not only reduce the so-

called achievement gap between the rich and poor, but to bring all students to a higher level of achievement,” Hwang wrote in an e-mail.

The BRICK Award accepts applications from citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada under the age of 25 and awards 12 winners $lO,OOO in recognition of their charity work.

A new curriculum for the InnoWorks camp is developed every year to encourage students to participate in multiple sessions, said senior Matan Setton, director of the Summer 2006 program at Duke.

Hwang said students in the past few years have especially enjoyed the “Rocket Design and Launch” activity and the sheep brain and pig heart dissection. He added that the new curriculum this summer—called “The Eureka Effect”—teaches students about great historical scientific breakthroughs and inventions.

The organization is in the process of developing a suite of new programs to increase the scope of InnoWorks’ impact,

“It hasn’t changed too much,” said Holt on her perspective of Duke before and after the investigation.

Some added, however, that they hope the administration converts the issues raised during the investigation into real change on campus.

Holt said she believes the scandal will bring to light the inherent problems with the student social scene on campus.

“The attention that was paid to it—the alcohol and parties—was appropriate,” Holt said. “That will be a good outcome.”

Bumess said the atmosphere in Page during Brodhead’s speech was distinctly positive.

“There was a pretty warm feeling in the room,” he said.

Although a few questions were asked concerning Brodhead’s motives in making decisions last spring, Burness said the audience seemed happy with what Brodhead had to say.

“There were several points during which he spoke that people applauded,” Bumess said.

He added that competition among classes might have stolen the show from the lacrosse issue.

“There were some really funny things,” he said.

“One of the guys got up from his class and made the point that his class probably set the record for streaking at Duke,” Bumess added. not

In his address to alumni Saturday in a packed Page Auditorium, President Richard Brodhead defended the University’s handling of the lacrosse case but also spoke about the importance of working to address issues raised by the case, said John Burness, senior vice president for public af-

fairs and government relations. we’ve lived through this for “He made the point the past year,” Burness said. “With the attorney general’s decision, there come so many things the University needs to be doing and ought to be doing.”

Burness added that the lacrosse situation was not the focus of the speech but said it was necessary for Brodhead to address the issue.

“He spoke about lacrosse last year at this event,” Burness said. “It would be pretty hard—given the prominence of the issue for the last year on campus—not to talk about it.”

Several alumni said they agreed with the attorney general’s decision to drop the charges in light of evidence that favored the three lacrosse players.

“I think that it’s great when justice is served,” said Seth Squadron, Trinity ’97.

Packer declined to comment when contacted by The Chronicle Sunday, but students close to him consistently have maintained that Packer had been wrongfully accused.

“From the beginning, we said that we were going to stand by him 100 percent, and we had complete confidence of the fact that he was innocent of all of the charges that were brought against him,” said junior Rob DeHaas, president ofPacker’s fraternity. “In lieu of the Duke lacrosse incident, I would just say that this should remind us again that we should wait to make judgments on any situation until we know all the facts about any case.”

Junior Dan Neville, a member of the same fraternity, said Packer’s family has worked closely with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation to clear his name. SBI officials could not be reached for comment Sunday.

“He had absolutely no connection with this at all,” Neville said, adding that Packer will be returning to campus today.

Packer had his first appearance in Durham District Court April 4 and was previously scheduled to reappear at a June 7 trial.

Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity held a T-shirt exchange on the MainWest Quadrangle Thursday to collect clothing for the Mission.

Students were given the opportunity to rummage through boxes of T-shirts which were initially donated by members —

of Theta and AEPi—and take one home in exchange for two T-shirts of their own.

“By the end, after everyone came and exchanged, we had collected what must be well over 1,000 shirts,” sophomore Joel Ribnick, vice president and philanthropy chair of AEPi and organizer of the event, wrote in an e-mail. “Students, administrators, local Durhamites and even visitors stopped by.”

The T-shirt exchange also collected

ganization.

“I think it’s just good to know where you live and who you’re living with,” said sophomore Eden Pappo, service chair for Theta. “It’s not even us giving back—it’s doing what we want to do.”

Ribnick emphasized the importance of giving back to Durham.

“I think it is important for Duke to help out in the local community because whether we like to admit it or not, we are living in Durham for four years,” he said.

“We owe it to the city to lend our support.”

Ernie Mills, co-founder and executive director of the Mission, said he could not be happier with the response from the community.

“We’ve got about one month of the food already replenished—one third of the way there already,” he said. “I am really overwhelmed at the generosity of everyone.”

The fire caused the loss of a threemonth supply of food and extensive damages to the house, Ernie Mills said.

“A good $50,000 hit,” he added.

The fire was especially difficult for the Mission because it destroyed most of a donation of 10,000 cans of food recently given by the Wake Christian Academy in Raleigh, Gail Mills said.

The Mills opened the Mission in November 1974 as a home for men in need of food, clothing and shelter. In the past 30 years, the facility has expanded to include a home for mothers with children, a shelter for families and a shelter for single women seeking emergency, transitional or permanent housing.

The beauty of the program is that it is completely run by college students, said junior Amav Mehta, InnoWorks chief curriculum officer. The middle schoolers look at the college volunteers not only as mentors, but as big brothers and sisters, he added.

Several officers at InnoWorks said their involvement with the organization has been an eye opening and meaningful endeavor.

“Together, we can redefine the realm of the possible,” Hwang wrote in the preface of his “Explorations” instructional textbook. “We will smile at each other and know in our hearts we made a difference.”

Wednesday, Cooper excoriated Nifong for “overreaching” and said “we have no credible evidence that an attack occurred in that house that night.” The state’s investigation only verified the perception that Nifong violated the spirit of justice by pursuing felony charges on nonexistent evidence.

Finally, Nifong congratulates himself for transferring prosecutorial authority to the attorney general’s office. [l] t is important to remember that the attorney general had the opportunity to review this investigation and to make this decision because I requested that he do so,” he says. This fact “should call into question the characterizations of this prosecution as ‘rogue’ and ‘unchecked.’”

Nifong was correct to re“

cuse himselffrom the case in January; by that time he had long lost credibility as a fair administrator of justice. However—just like his shameful

“apology”—Nifong’s abdica-

tion from the lacrosse case appears to have been motivated as much by political necessity as by any noble impulse.

The State Bar had just filed ethics charges against him, and the state’s conference of District Attorneys had called on him to step down.

In Nifong’s revisionist version of the Duke lacrosse case, he is merely a well meaning public servant who put too much faith in a troubled woman. But history will remember that Nifong deserves condemnation for dragging three innocent men through what has proven to be a travesty of justice.

Haves have nots

ontherecord

ters to the

exculpatory DNA evidence from defense attorneys.

Nifong’s year-long leadership of the case does not reflect errors of “human judgment”—as his pseudo-apology would have it —but rather appears to reveal a complete lack of professional and personal ethics.

His most disingenuous argument is that the state dropped its charges because new evidence had come to light since Attorney General Roy Cooper took over the case in January. The fallen district attorney frames his mistakes as the products of acting on incomplete information. This is complete nonsense. In reality, the charges were dropped because there has never been enough evidence to support the indictments.

In his announcement

This

is a tale of two crises at Duke. The first is the kind we hear of the vast majority of the time: crimes against victims we can sympathize with, perpetrated by people or forces with whom we can’t.

With vigils, lectures, publications and other vital efforts, we condemn sexual assault, rapists and bigots. Global disease comes next. With no one to blame, exacdy, for HIV and AIDS, we condemn the diseases themselves and pray for a cure.

The second crisis is the one that erupted last spring: the Duke lacrosse case. For the first time, the tables turned. We found a “crime” whose alleged perpetrators we knew, and whose alleged vicandrew gerst tims we didn’t. That courage the crime turned out to be fiction didn’t matter: suddenly, a year ago, reality began to run “off script.” If anything, rather than repeating the dominant narrative, most students rejected it, supporting the accused lacrosse players even as ESPN and much of the mainstream media slammed Duke.

Suddenly, in the Duke lacrosse case, shared experience forced some students (but few faculty) to reprogram their “thoughts.” Suddenly, we saw these “haves”—young white men playing a historically elite sport—as something else; as fellow dorm-mates, as fellow Duke students, as fellow humans.

In American academia today, countless faculty, administrators and students reflexively—if unconsciously—insist that in any conflict, the “haves” are guilty, and the “have-nots” are innocent. The “haves” are normally one of the following: white, straight, middle class and male. The “have-nots”: not white, not straight, not middle class and not male.

When the “haves” are abstract entities, the intelligentsia treats their guilt as a foregone conclusion. But when the “haves” are familiar feces, the voices of condemnation are shouted down by friends of the accused.

We vacillate between two equally unacceptable forms of response —blindly accepting the dominant narrative, or questioning it solely because of personal relationships.

To make clear: we must still condemn racism, bigotry, sexual assault and the other evils Duke students have traditionally campaigned against. And we must continue defending the falsely accused, as the Duke lacrosse players were—many of us rallying behind their cause without knowing the players at all. But in

either event, we must pick a side out of reverence for the truth, not merely because it fits either our political or personal purposes.

In international affairs, we rarely know the players personally. As individuals we don’t usually know a given terrorist in the news, a particular American soldier, or the people caught in between. As a result, the same mythic thinking that slammed Duke lacrosse continues unchecked. In far too many classrooms, the “haves”—America, Europe, Jews, Israel—are invariably oppressing the “have-nots” —the Middle East, Arabs, Muslims. With an infinite amount of facts, and a finite reader attention span, there is always enough room to leave things out.

But reality almost always outruns dogma. How many Duke students realize, for instance, that according to an April 2 article in the Daily Mail, British schoolteachers are eliminating lessons on the Holocaust “for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial?”

How many Duke students realize that, according to a March 30 Reuters article, the U.N. Human Rights Council, passed a resolution suggesting freedom of expression be restricted by concerns over “respect for others?”

How many Duke students realize that Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadenijad said, according to a March 1 Haaretz article, “Zionists are the true manifestation of Satan?”

How many Duke students realize that, according to a January 29 Daily Mail article, almost 40 percent—yes, 40—of young Muslims in Britain want the nation to adopt Islamic sharialaw?

These facts and similar ones are frequently ignored on campus because they do not fit the dominant narrative. Israel, a “have,” must be an invincible land of apartheid; the U.S., its racist protector; Islamic immigrants to Europe, the “have-nots,” are portrayed as merely passive seekers of a better life.

Throughout history, progress has come through thoughtful dissent By promulgating the reductionist “have”-”have not” narrative in an era of conservative government, Duke faculty and journalists alike seem to fancy themselves as today’s dissidents. In reality, they are today’s orthodoxy chorus.

I urge Duke students to question all doctrine—and without resorting to personal connections to do so. To do anything less is devastating. Justask a lacrosse player.

Give credit where it’s due

The

first time I met Duke Student Government President Elliott Wolf, a junior, I was less than impressed.

He was sweaty, muddy and late. A bit of a biking fiasco had caused him to show up to the DSG meeting in this messy state. He would have to accomplish a lot throughout the year to get me to overcome thatfirst impression of him.

And he did.

As many readers have so kindly pointed out, I am a freshman and was not around last year to know what things were like in DSG. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t done my research. And my highly unscientific polls suggest that Wolfs presidency —and DSG in general—have vasdy improved compared to past

dlliG vergotz

I think a lot of that had to do with the year’s DSG “theme” of sorts: “Getting S Done.” DSG acted as a powerful lobbying body for students this year. And get s done it did.

From getting our seats back in the front row of Cameron Indoor Stadium, to keeping Cameron “our house” (sorry, Robertsons), to improving safety at the intersection of Broad and Perry streets, to just recently working to extend the fall reading period (formerly known as the weekend), no task has been too small for this year’s DSG to take on.

This is not to say DSG was perfect this year. It surely had its faults. Certain goals were not accomplished, some members could still be caught on Facebook during meetings and overall, general body meetings seemed almost pointless at times. Nonetheless, I think the greatest improvement DSG has seen over the past year, while basic, is very significant: increased visibility.

DSG wants The Chronicle to write about its activities; it wants administrators to know what it—and by association, the student body—thinks. It lets people know what it’s doing. In fact, DSG has gone out of its way this year to be heard. Higher-ups such as Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services; Tom Wall, director of public services for Duke University Libraries; and Provost Peter Lange, among many others, have all attended DSG meetings throughout the year gathering student input.

Ironically, a common concern I heard when asking students about their opinion of Wolf at the beginning of the year was that they feared he would alienate administrators before being able to accomplish much of anything. Somehow, despite his sometimes intense demeanor and the fact thathe stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall, Wolf has not tried to intimidate or alienate. He’s just tried to, well, get s done, and he’s done a good job of it.

He doesn’t get all the credit for what DSG has accomplished, nor does he deserve it all. Luckily for him, he had a very strong Executive Board, cabinet and senate to back him up. His are just the face and the name everyone knows.

This year’s DSG, under Wolfs leadership, has been both proactive and approachable. I think it would be hard to argue that it hasn’t been effective this year, although I’m sure many will try.

In my view, it’s been a productive year. Few people (outside ofDSG itself) give it enough credit; DSG’s done a lot.

As Vice President of Academic Affairs Jimmy Soni, a senior, pointed out in his column Friday (“A Wolf in Wolfs Clothing,” April 13), President-elect Paul Slattery, a junior, has a tough act to follow.

It’s been a pleasure (most of the time) to observe and comment on DSG this year. The bar has been set at a very high level by this year’s leadership. I hope the new Executive Board, cabinet and senate don’t let us down.

Elliott et al., you’ve done an exemplaryjob. Try not to get a big head about it, but thanks

letterstotheeditor Sigma Nu remembers Chris Sanders While many ofyou knew Chris Sanders by his name, we all knew him as “Stewie.” His door was always open, and he offered a welcome to all who passed by and a challenge in Fifa for anyone foolish enough to accept it. In everything he did, he placed the interests of others above his own and never complained. Though the loss of Stewie has brought us together in tears, it is the gift of his smile that we will cherish forever. That famed smile never left his face and served as a perfect representation of the man who embodied all of the characteristics that members of this fraternity strive to attain: love, truth and honor. Stewie’s constant desire to bring joy to others coupled with the enthusiasm with which he approached even the most trivial of tasks made him a model of kindness and decency that each of us can only hope to emulate. Considering how much of his life he spent trying to put a smile on his friends’ faces, it is fitting that when we remember Stewie we will always think of that radiant smile on his face, and that memory will inevitably bring one to our own. Our lives are better for having known Stewie, and he will remain in our hearts, now and always.

Funding warrants explanation

I read with great interest the article (“Paper finds gap in DUHS insurance,” March 8) last month in The Chronicle, as it raised an issue that is of utmost importance to me. Arriving at a clearer understanding of the cultural factors and influences that lead to discrepancies between the use of available healthcare resources among white and minority populations is a local imperative for us at Duke, but should also be among our country’s major national healthcare priorities.

While Professor Richman pointed out that there are still areas within his data set that require greater study and analysis, I have embraced his findings and the challenge that they represent to all of us who are part of the healthcare delivery system. Since that time, Dr. Richman and I have met to talk about his research, the implications of his findings and potential next steps that should be considered. I would also point out that there is research being conducted within the School of Medicine to better understand the causes and potential solutions for resolving disparities in healthcare consumption among various populations, and we will continue to study this issue with the ultimate goal of identifying pragmatic recommendations that can be implemented at the community level.

As mentioned in the article, I am proud of the significant progress that has been made within Duke Medicine to better align our workforce demographics with those in the community. However, there is much more work to be done to ensure that there are ultimately no differences in healthcare service utilization among people of all races and ethnic heritage.

Faculty membersrushed to judgment One of the most distressing outcomes of the now-resolved lacrosse scandal was the rush to judgment by so many people completely uninvolved with the case, especially many of the faculty of Duke University. Since when did it become politically correct to vilify one’s own students? I can only imagine how distressing it must be to be an athlete and talk to a professor in a class with the suspicion that the professor would prefer if you were not at his/her university. Aren’t the faculty supposed to care about the students? Aren’t the faculty around to provide a caring/supportive network in which young people can learn and grow? I question the integrity ofanyone who teaches and simultaneously marches in protest against his/her own students, regardless of their behavior. The problem with large research universities is that the faculty become distanced from the students they are supposed to help grow. I would like to see a discussion initiated by President Richard Brodhead in which the campus culture of the faculty is examined. I would like to see a full-page ad by the Group of 88 telling me how they plan to learn from this experience and figure out why they love

teaching young people (like the defendants) —unless they don’t care, in which case I hope they can have the integrity to quit their profession.

Mark Gilbert Trinity ’97 Where apologies are owed As a 24-year-old white male college student, I am appalled that a case so pregnant with issues of race, gender, income disparity and prejudice has been swept under the rug. Even if these young men did not rape this young woman, they still acted in a racist, misogynist manner that should not be condoned in any society. It is clear that this is a case of distinct demographics colliding and ancient, ugly sparks flying.

It is disheartening to think that these young men are owed an apology. Not only do these young men owe this young woman an apology, but also this case should cast a spotlight on any demographic of wealthy, white, elites who may hold these principles dear. If that is overstepping, ask yourself this question: Where would this case be if these young men were inner-city African-Americans and the young woman was the daughter of wealthy, white elites? I think we all know the answer.

Brian Estabrook Columbus, Ohio

Hopes in the wake of the lacrosse case Last year, I wrote The Chronicle and expressed my thoughts about the presumption of innocence in the now-closed chapter of what die national media calls the “Duke rape case.” Yes, the chapter is closed. But, important issues remain unresolved. The book is not complete.

First, I hope that the considerable resources (intellectual and otherwise) of the University and its extended community will be used to help the young men and women—young men and women who handled an extraordinary ordeal with great grace and dignity—reclaim their futures. Please note that I say both young men and women because all of our nation’s youth have been affected by this now-acknowledged failure of our judicial system. The effect extends beyond Duke University, the sport of lacrosse, the Duke lacrosse team, the families of the accused and the accused themselves—true victims of this chapter. Our society should do whatever it can to resurrect their futures. I admit that I only have questions about how this can be done. Perhaps others with greater wisdom can illuminate a path.

Second, I pray that we will be able to forgive the accusations of what now appears to be a troubled mind. And I thank God that my own children aren’t plagued with a disconnection with reality. Third, I’d like to say how impressed I am of the way the the three accused handled themselves. Grace under pressure. Dignity. I struggle to find words to express myself. But I do know this... and in a more colloquial sense... “Good-god-a-mickey-mighty, I’d want these guys on my team.”

Best of luck to Duke lacrosse.

Thomas Inman Trinity ’74 Brodhead should be held accountable The actions of President Richard Brodhead and the rest of the Duke administration with respect to this matter have been reprehensible. In a rush to justice, the University took action against the entire lacrosse team without regard to the guilt or innocence of the three former players, let alone the other team members and coaches.

As I wrote to President Brodhead in response to his selfserving message to alumni several months ago, one had to wonder whether he would have been so quick to suspend the remaining schedule of the basketball team had similar allegations been levelled against them. It is sometimes said that societies should be judged by how they treat their most vulnerable and disadvantaged citizens.

While thatis true, it should also be remembered that a society’s more privileged citizens should also be afforded the same consideration and dispassionate justice. The livesand reputations ofthese three young men have been forever changed. While President Brodhead has called for the Durham district attorney’s head, he should also be held accountable for his actions as well.

MadelinePerez THE CHRONICLE

After failing to crack the top five in their past two tournaments, the Blue Devils’ putting and consistent play were key to their third place finish at the Intercollegiate at the Devils’ Ridge Golf Club in * Holy Springs, N.C. From the opening day, No. 25 Duke was steady on the green, carding collective 289 and 285 in the first two rounds of the

ACC run by

THE CHRONICLE

With several of its athletes resting up for next weekend’s ACC championships, Duke headed to the Carolina Fast Times looking for last-minute qualifying marks.

The meet also was a final chance for the Blue Devils to perfect their forms before one of the most important outings of the season.

“The meet is the week before the ACCs,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said.

“It’s time for guys on the bubble to make their case for going to the conference championships.”

Sophomore Chris Rowland ran a personal best in the 800-meter race to qualify for the IC4As. Rowland’s time of 1:52.11 was good for a fifth-place finish in the meet.

“It was a breakthrough race for Chris,” Ogilvie said. “It was his best race of the year, and it’ll give him a lot of confidence going into the ACCs.” Senior Dan King qualified for the IC4As in the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.73. King used the 200 as a speed workout for his primary event, the 400meter race, in which he will compete next weekend.

“Dan said he came out kind of flat in the 400,” Ogilvie said. “It made him determined to come back and run a

tournament.

Pacing the Blue Devils was junior Michael Schachner, who finished the tournament in fifth place with a 4-under 212.

Playing his final round at 2-under par, Schachner propelled himself seven spots up the leaderboard, giving him his second top-five finish of the year.

“Michael Schachner had a great tournament with steady play, as his game is beginning to come into form,” interim head coach Brad Sparling said. “His best game comes out during the end of the season.”

Freshman Jeff Edelman—who entered the tournament as an individual—recorded a career-best 65 on the opening day, which helped him to place fifth at the end of two rounds. Edelman was unable to capitalize on his early momentum, shooting a 3-over 75 to finish in ninth place—still his best finish of the year.

Competing for the Blue Devils in his first spring tournament after sustaining a back injury, Michael Quagliano shot well over the first two rounds and was tied for 15th placfe Friday. Struggling to match his early success, the junior ended the tournament in 30th after shooting a 6-over 78 on the final day.

Senior Jake Grodzinsky entered the final day after recording two even-par rounds, but ended the tournament with a 2-over 74 to tie with fellow Blue Devil Clark Klaasen for 20th place.

After a difficult week in which the team attended the memorial service for former head coach Rod Myers, Sparling said the team was finally able to shift its attention back to the golf course.

Junior Michael Schachnerfired a 2-under70 on thefinal day of play to finish in fifth place for the tournament.

“It has been incredibly difficult for them to keep focused during the year,” Sparling said. “But after going to the service, the team found their form of closure to thank and say goodbye to Coach Myers.”

After its strong finish, Duke’s next chal-

Bajoczky strikes again, takes down UNC by

Duke dodged yet another rainout this weekend

—

and with its star pitcher, Tony Bajoczky, on fire once again, the North Carolina offense simply dried up.

Although the No. 2 Tar Heels (32-6, 13-5 ACC) poured the runs on in the

other two games, the Blue Devils (23-15, 4-14) continued 7 their weekend pattern against ACC teams at Boshamer Stadium in Chapel Hill, snaring the -9 DUKE ~T~ second game 9-3 behind the UNC strong pitching of Bajoczky and falling in the other games, DUKE _L_ 7-0 and 7-4, respectively.

Sunday’s game was reschedUNC 7 uled to Saturday in anticipation of Sunday’s inclement weather.

which managed just three runs off six hits against him over eight innings of work. In the game, the Tar Heels were held five hits and five runs below their season average.

Bajockzy’s biggest contribution, however, was preventing the explosive North Carolina offense from striking in clutch moments. In the fifth inning, he allowed only two runs despite loading the bases with n© outs, and in the eighth he gave up no runs with runners on first and second and two outs. “[Good pitchers] elevate their game and they elevate their stuff when situations get tough,” head coach Sean McNally said. “That was the key element—not allowing any big innings Saturday.”

After seeing their offense wither down to nothing Friday, the Blue Devil players suddenly sprang to life on offense to give Bajoczky plenty of support. Duke smacked 11 hits and nine runs —tied for the most given up by the Tar Heels all year.

Nate Freiman, in particular, had a strong game. The sophomore first baseman went 3-for-5 batting with one run batted in—the very first one of the game—after managing just one hit the game before, a single in the eighth inning with Duke already down 6-0 Friday.

His shot to right field jump-started the Blue Devils scoring spurt, driving in junior outfielder Jimmy Gallagher and advancing junior third baseman Brett Barties to third base. The inning barely continued, though, as sophomore catcher Matt Williams beat out the throw on a potential double-play ball.

A few batters later, Duke loaded the bases still holding on to its 2-0 lead. Tar Heel pitcher Alex White beaned freshman second baseman Ryan McCurdy, and the UNC coaching staff took White out of the game but by then, the damage was done. With Bajoczky firing away on the mound, the Blue Devils had little doubt they could pull off the upset.

“Playing at North Carolina and knowing what kind of offense they had, I thought what was important was continuing to tack on runs,” McNally said. “Certainly we felt good with Tony out there and Mike Seander ready to come in.”

In the first game, North Carolina’s own star pitcher, Robert Woodward, pitched a complete-game shutout.

In the series finale, the game was tied at two going into the fifth inning before the Tar Heels struck for five runs over the next two frames.

The win marks the Blue Devils’ third over a topranked opponent this year, after defeating then-No. 1 Florida State 8-5 and then-No. 3 Virginia 13-9 over the past two weekends.

The Blue Devils swarm midfielder Brad Ross in celebration after the junior scored Saturday's game-winning goal, putting away the No. 2 Cavaliers in overtime and clinching the ACC regular -season Title.

Last-second heroics cap dramatic week by

Alex Fanaroff

THE CHRONICLE

With his arms fully extended, Brad Ross caught Matt Danowski’s pass right in front of the Virginia crease. From that position, Ross could only flick the ball backhanded towards the goal, and with the way Cavalier goalkeeper Kip Turner had played all day, that type of shot probably was not going to work.

UVA So Ross did the DUKE 7 only thing he could do—he flipped a shot over his left shoulder, past Turner’s right leg and into the comer of the net. The goal, which came with 2:19 remaining in overtime, gave the fourthranked Blue Devils (10-2, 3-0 in the ACC) a 7-6 win over No. 2 Virginia (10-2, 2-1) and touched off a field-rushing celebration.

With the win, Duke clinched the ACC regular-season title and the top seed in the conference tournament April 27.

It was a triumphant close to an emotionally trying week—players saw their three former teammates facing sexual assault charges officially exonerated Wednesday and then had to take on the defending national champions Saturday.

“Around the world is the kind of thing you do when you’re a little kid—you don’t really practice that,” said Ross, who finished the day with three goals. “It just kind of happens. It’s instinct.”

“I didn’t see it,” said Turner, who finished with 20 saves. “He wrapped it around his body and it went in the lower corner.

What are you going to do?”

The overtime win was the Blue Devils’ first in the careers of the team’s seniors.

-

and Ross said his game-winner was his first since he played in rec league. But the junior midfielder was not the first option on the play. Ross had set a screen to free Zack Greer—the team’s leading scorer—and Danowski’s first look was to the junior attackman.

But the Virginia defense slid over to lock down Greer, and Ross was able to slip toward the goal uncovered.

“We were a little soft inside, and so actually it’s a goal that you might [have] thought we were a little bit vulnerable to—something just like that,” Virginia head coach Dom Starsia said. “They just found the opportunity that the way we were defending probably offered up, and they took advantage of it.”

That the Blue Devils were able to take advantage of that overtime opportunity at all seemed improbable through the first half. They started slowly, not scoring at all until just more than six minutes remained in the first quarter, and faced deficits of 31 in the second quarter and 5-3 in the third quarter.

“Today was actually the first time our emotions got the best of us,” Danowski said. “We never really got into a f10w.... We were too fired up. Now that we had proved everybody wrong in the court, we wanted to do it in the field again.”

Head coach John Danowski echoed his son’s sentiments and added that his team was mentally fatigued as a result ofits long week.

“You try to pretend that this is not going to be difficult—you know, ‘lt’s just a game, let’s just play, it’ll be business a§ usual’ but it wasn’t business as usual,” John Danowski said. “The kids were exhausted.

You could see it.... I just thought our guys —

figured out away to fight.”

They fought by picking up 58 ground balls to Virginia’s 38—defenseman Casey Carroll had a game-high seven—and by

killing off a key penalty in the third quar-

ter. For the game, the Blue Devils held

Virginia scoreless on both of their manadvantage chances.

With 5:23 left in the third quarter, defenseman Tony McDevitt was sent offfor a minute for an illegal body check. A goal by Virginia’s Steve Giannone just one possession earlier had put the Blue Devils in a 53 hole, and another goal might have been psychologically crippling. But a stick-check

by Casey Carroll caused the ball to fly out of bounds, giving possession to Duke and causing the 6,588 in attendance to erupt.

Just more than five minutes later, the Blue Devils tied the game at five on goals by sophomore Mike Catalino and Greer.

But Virginia was not done. Ben Rubeor’s goal in transition put the Cavaliers up 6-5 with 8:48 to go.

Needing a goal to tie the score, the Blue Devils turned to star attackman Danowski.

They ran a screen play for him, hoping to get a short-stick defender to switch onto him. The play was unsuccessful, but Danowski still rifled a low shot toward Turner’s feet from the right side of the field. The shot hit Turner in the left foot and squeezed between his leg and the post, tying the score and setting the stage for Ross’ overtime heroics.

“If I was a little bigger person, I might tell you I’m kind of happy for Duke at the end of a long week,” Starsia said. “I think the distractions were there for both teams.

One of the teams was going to lose today and I know it's been a hard week for Duke.”

Senior Matt Danowski was the set-up man on Brad Ross's game-winning goal for theBlue Devils.

Blue Devils take 12th-straight ACC title with ease

by Ben

Cohen

THE CHRONICLE

With a driving rain pelting the greens of Charlotte’s Carmel Country Club and 35 mile-per-hour wind gusts toying with tee shots, most golfers in the ACC tournament caved under the elements Sunday.

Sophomore Amanda Blumenherst, however, thrived in the brutal conditions, storming back from a one-stroke deficit on the back nine to capture the tournament’s individual title with a 4-under 212.

Blumenherst’s performance lifted No. 2 Duke to a 35-stroke victory—its 12th consecutive conference crown.

Blumenherst, the reigning National Player of the Year and No. 1 golfer in the country, did not need an array ofbirdies to best her main competition, Florida State’s Caroline Westrup. She simply played steady golf, parring holes 13 through 17.

In a round halted for an hour because Of a nearby thunderstorm, though, maintaining par was more admirable than usual no one else scored at par or better.

“It was definitely a challenge,” Blumenherst said. ‘You had to stay focused all day just because of the elements. It was windy.

It was wet. The combination of those two really made the course play a lot harder.

You had to play conservatively—hit solid shots, but go for the middle of the green.”

The weather seemed to help Blumenherst’s comeback effort. The wind affected other golfers, but it failed to unhinge Blumenherst, thanks to her accuracy and —

long-hitting ability.

“The weather got really bad, and that played right into her hands because she’s very physically strong,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “All she needed to do was stay patient and keep playing her game. She didn’t come in with five birdies to get it back. It was all sort of juststaying strong in

really bad conditions.”

The third and final day of the tournament was decidedly different than the first two. After shooting under par Friday and expanding their lead by 20 shots Saturday, the Blue Devils failed to finish in the red Sunday. Their 22-over-par 302, however, was still the best in the field by nine strokes.

“The last day, particularly the very last part of the last day, didn’t really give us a chance to go under par,” Brooks said. “It was really pretty nasty.”

Duke won by 35 strokes—its largest margin of victory this year—because of the squad’s consistency. All five golfers placed in the top 13.

The Blue Devils’ collaborative effort was highlighted by Jennie Lee’s 1-over 217 and Anna Grzebien’s 6-over 222. Lee’s total was good for third place, and Grzebien finished sixth.

Duke’s combined effort impressed Brooks more than its wire-to-wire win, partly because it was the Blue Devils’ first triumph since March 18, and partly because of the victory’s implications for the upcoming NCAA tournament.

“It’s a win—but obviously with a win by that big a margin, we can’t hope for that,” Brooks said. “The win is less important than the quality of play, going under par.

We’re more interested in going under par than we are in what other teams are doing.”

With the championship, the Blue Devils can look ahead to defending their NCAA tournament title for the second year in a row. They will take a break from competitive play until May 10, when the regional

championships

start.

If Duke can advance past the regionals, the team will travel to Daytona Beach, Fla. for the NCAA championships, which begin May 22.

Amanda Blumenherst was unfazed by poor weather conditions Sunday and won the ACC individual title.

With offensive resurgence Duke bounces back at BC Archtth Ramkumar THE CHRONICLE

After suffering their worst loss in five years, the Blue Devils held grueling, intense practices every day of the week leading up to their contest with Boston College.

It showed.

DUKE No. 4 Duke (11-2, 3-1 in the BC 8 ACC) used a spectacular start to cruise past the Eagles 16-8 Saturday afternoon in Newton, Mass.

“Our kids had a great week of practice,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “Obviously after the Northwestern loss, the coaching staff had [the players’] attention.

They did an awesome job today defensively.”

The team that stepped onto the field at Boston College (5-8, 1-3) was definitely not the same squad that was put into a huge early hole by the Wildcats.

After the Eagles scored the first goal of the match, the Blue Devils reeled off seven straight goals and streaked to a 15-3 lead with less than 20 minutes left in the game. Duke was led by Caroline Cryer’s three goals and Kristen Waagbo’s three goals and five assists, which tied the school record for most assists in a game.

“We did a great job,” Waagbo said. “We worked ridiculously hard all week, and we were able to get our momentum back.”

The most visible part ofDuke’s improvement was its defense, as it suffocated the Eagle attack for the first 26 minutes of the match. Duke allowed only three scores during the stretch and goalies Kim Imbesi and Regan Bosch combined for 11 saves. Although Boston College did tally five more goals, the scores came late in the

match when the game’s outcome was already decided .

Duke’s strong defensive play was a far cry from the effort put forth in its loss in Evanston, 111., when the team gave up 17 goals.

“We just got back to the fundamentals of team defense,” Waagbo said. “We were working really hard to help out our teammates.”

The Blue Devils forced 20 Eagle turnovers on the afternoon.

The win was even more impressive considering Saturday’s match was Duke’s fourth straight road contest.

Although fatigue was a factor, the Blue Devils still played with the effort and intensity necessary to win.

“The kids were tired—really tired,” Kimel said.

“They didn’t have a whole lot of gas in the tank and still gave a tremendous effort.”

With the victory, the Blue Devils moved into a tie with Maryland and North Carolina for first place in the ACC. Perhaps more importandy, Duke found its stride again, as it got back to doing the things that have translated into success all season.

“We had gotten away from the central way we played defense,” Kimel said. “We honed in, and it helped prepare us for the postseason.”

Duke clashes with the third-ranked Tar Heels Friday in its last regular-season ACC match. With the top spot in the conference on the line, the Blue Devils anticipate a tough batde—but they are more optimistic heading into the game on a positive note.

“It’s great coming off a win,” Waagbo said. “Hopefully we can come out really strong on Friday.” ypy r r* Tf 'C'Wi, '

DUKE We’re just going to have a good practice this week and look forward to DUKE 0 the ACCs.” The Blue Devils (10-9, 5-6 in the UNC ACC) were forced to switch up their No. 1 singles and doubles spot, as senior Daniela Bercek missed her singles match against N.C. State and both matches against UNC due to illness.

“For [Sunday’s] doubles, we had to switch up the teams, and that was really tough,” Granson said.

Duke lost the doubles point both days, as Granson and sophomore Jessi Robinson were the only duo to post a win against the Wolfpack (13-9, 4-8). The Tar Heels (20-7, 8-3) swept the Blue Devils for the doubles point.

Against N.C. State, Sophomore Melissa Mang shut out Daria Petrovic 6-2, 6-0, while Robinson defeated Neils Barringer 6-2, 6-4, but the Wolfpack took four of six matches for the win.

At Cone-Kenfield Indoor Tennis Center in Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels went on a 3-0 singles run to seal the win over the Blue Devils.

“They definitely had a good crowd there,” Granson said. “[But] there were a lot of Duke students who came. We definitely had a lot of support.”

She said the team fought hard but had difficulty finishing points.

“Every single one of us was competing hard,” Granson said.

“We couldn't put things together, but we definitely want a rematch with them, so hopefully we’ll see them at the ACCs.” Duke will next compete Thursday through Sunday at the ACC tournament in Cary at the Cary Tennis Park. ~

THE CHRONICLE

Coming into the weekend, Duke

had been playing some ofits best ten-

nis of the season, winning seven of its last eight DUKE J_ matches The Blue VIRGINIA I 6 Devils (15-8, 8-3 in the DUKE ACC) play 2 Friday and VATECH Sunday, however, didn’t quite continue that trend.

Duke fell by by a score of 6-1 Friday at No. 2 Virginia (22-3, 10-0), but rallied back Sunday to defeat No. 38 Virginia Tech 5-2 in Blacksburg.

“It was great to see the guys bounce back from a tough loss on Friday and get this win,” head coach Jay Lapidus said of his team’s performance against the Hokies.

The Blue Devils controlled Sunday’s match against Virginia Tech (1211, 3-8) from the opening serve, and the Hokies had very few opportunities to upset Duke.

While No. 5 Joey Atas and David Goulet lost in a tiebreaker to the 28thranked pair of Nicolas Delgado and Pedro Graber, third seed Peter Rodrigues and Kiril Dimitrov won comfortably, 8-4.

The second seed of Dylan Arnould and Ned Samuelson earned the doubles point for the Blue Devils with another 8-4 win.

every position. The Blue Devils, however, soon pulled away.

At the top two seeds, Dimitrov and Atas cruised to straight-set victories.

Arnould was defeated at the fourth spot, 7-6. 6-4, but Goulet clinched Duke’s eighth ACC win with a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Hokie Brandon Corace.

In contrast, the Blue Devils struggled from the start against Virginia Friday in Charlottesville.

Doubles play posed a real challenge, as the Cavaliers swept all three matches.

In the two closest contests, the pair of Goulet and Atas lost in a tiebreaker, 9-8, and Dimitrov and Rodrigues also dropped a tight match, 9-7.

Singles play went almost indentically—Duke played hard and kept almost every set close, but recorded only tine singles victory. Rodrigues, the 115thranked player in the country, won in

straight sets.

This weekend marked the end of the regular season for the Blue Devils, and the team will now prepare for the ACC tournament in Cary. Play begins Thursday afternoon at the Cary Tennis Park.

Duke looks to use the next few days to prepare for the difficult conference competition.

“Now we’ll get to work this week on the practice courts and turn our attention to the ACC tournament,” Lapidus said.
