Many questioned whether or not Duke would be able to handle No. 20 Wisconsin’s big men in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup in Cameron Indoor Stadium Tuesday. But the seventh-ranked Blue Devils answered their doubters early and emphatically by neutralizing the Badgers’ inside presence and running all over the hardwood to secure the victory, 82-58. v “We wanted to get upand down thecourt,” sophomore Gerald Henderson said. “We felt that we were faster than them, a lot quicker than them. With the training and the conditioning that we do, we could use that to our advantage.... We really pushed the tempo.” The game was epitomized during a 40second stretch midway through the first half, when Duke (7-0) used both its impressive defense and its strong shooting to pull away from Wisconsin (5-1). Trailing 19-14, the Badgers’ 6-foot-10 center Jon Leuer, one of the highly-touted post players expected to give the Blue Devils trouble, pulled up for a short jump shot only to have it swatted from behind by Henderson. The block led to one ofDuke’s many fast breaks on the night and resulted in a Greg Paulus three-pointer at the other end. Once DeMarcus Nelson stole the ball and dished to the corner for Paulus, who then hit his second long ball in fourteen seconds, Cameron Indoor Stadium was rocking and Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan was forced to call a timeout. But the Badgers never recovered and the Blue Devils never looked back, owing their 2911 run at the end of the first half to 6-for-l 1 12

cials called for a 50-percent reduction in water consumption Monday that will begin Dec. 3. Officials decided to move to Stage IV Severe Mandatory Conservation as a result of the drought that has left Durham’s main reservoirs with 59 days worth of usable water as of Nov. 26. The city is currendy operating at a 30-percenf reduction level. “This is a prudent action that the city is taking,” said Kenneth Reckhow, professor of water resources at the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Sciences. “This is an issue of supply and demand, and the supply is limited by a lack of precipitation. The stage four restrictions are clearly working on demand.” The change Monday will restrict consumers from filling swimming pools and using water-cooled air conditioners, among other things. In addition, only car-washing companies whose owners document that their businesses recycle at least halfof their water will be able to wash cars. All previous restrictions under stages one through three will continue to be upheld. Vicki Westbrook, deputy director of Durham’s water management department, said the city is looking to expand its water resources in addition to scaling back consumption. One potential water resource is Teer Quarry, which can store up to 1.32 billion gallons of water when full. Currently, the quarry contains 520 million gallons ofwater, and the SEE RESTRICTIONS ON PAGE 7

Students, faculty and community members flocked to the Sanford Institute of Public Policy to hear former Reagan administration economic adviser Paul Krugman speak
Tuesday night. Krugman, a New York Times columnist and professor
of economics and international affairs at Princeton University, spoke to a full crowd in the Fleishman Commons and an additional overflow room about his new book, “The Conscience of a Liberal.” He began by discussing his reasons for writing the book, noting the importance of studying the past in order to predict the future U.S. political scene post-George W. Bush administration. The difference in voting behavior between the South and the rest of the country is an important factor that makes the United States different from other countries, Krugman said. “One of the huge things that happened in America SEE KRUGMAN ON PAGE
