When Duke walked CHARLOTTE off the court after a 78-74 loss to Clemson Saturday night at Bobcats Arena, the team looked disappointed, but not dejected.

Yes, the Blue Devils (27-5) fell short of the conference tournament final for the second straight year after reaching that game in seven of the eight previous seasons. No, head coach Mike Kryzewski says, his team is not quite finished with this season just yet.

Rrzyzewski insisted in a postgame press conference that he was happy with No. 7 Duke’s performance against the Tigers (24-9), who lost in the tide game Sunday to No. 1 North Carolina. The coach said he had “no complaints” with his team and is comfortable with where it stands heading into the NCAA Tournament Duke received a No. 2 seed in the West Region, the NCAA selection committee announced

Demario Atwater and Lawrence Lovett, two Durham residents, have been arrested in connection with the March 5 murder of Eve Carson, a senior and student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Both Atwater and Lovett are charged with first-degree murder.

“We are grateful for the intense efforts over the past week by the Chapel Hill Police Department and other law enforcement agencies,” UNC Chancellor James Moeser said in a statement Wednesday. “Our interests are in seeing justice served and helping our community during this difficult time.”

Carson’s body was found March 5 in Chapel Hill with multiple bullet wounds, at least one of which was to the head.

Lovett, 17, surrendered to authorities at about 4:15 a.m. Thursday after a standoff at a residence at 1914 Cook Rd. in Durham—about six miles from campus—according to a Durham Police Department release.

He has also been charged in the Jan. 18 shooting of Abhijit Mahato, a Duke engineering Ph.D. studentwho was found dead in his home at The Anderson Apartments

Sunday.

“There are games that you lose, and there are games that the other guy wins,” Rrzyzewski said. “I just thought today was one of those days when the other guy won.

Charles Cooper said neither plaintiffs nor attorneys violatedethics rules related to media involvement in a lawsuit against the University.

The attorney for 38 members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team filed a response Thursday to Duke’s motion regarding media involvement in the civil suit against the University.

“Duke’s motion is extraordinary,” attorney Charles Cooper wrote in the filing. “Duke not only acknowledges that the specific extrajudicial attorney statements it challenges either directly quote or closely paraphrase the allegations of Plaintiffs’ Complaint, it concedes that such statements are expressly authorized by [North Carolina State Bar Rule 3.6]. Duke argues, however, that these statements nonetheless run afoul of the rule because they were ‘incendiary’ (a characterization which Plaintiffs reject).”

The University’s motion, filed Feb. 28, requested an order stating that certain extrajudicial comments made by one of the plaintiffs and their representatives violated parts of the North Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct. Duke’s complaint said the establishment of a Web site, www. dukelawsuit.com, and the use of a press conference and

Applicants’ info leaked to public

Report of assault was fabrication

The names, e-mail addresses and grade point averages of 212 applicants for graduate studies in Duke’s physics department were made publicly accessible for three weeks on a department server.

No Social Security numbers or passwords were accessible.

“Duke computerexperts have analyzed the situation and determined that the mailing list archive was given the wrong setting—public instead of private—when it was created on Jan. 31, 2008,” physics Chair Daniel Gauthier wrote in an e-mail to the affected students March 6. “As a result, the archived information was accessible through a Google search from then untilFeb. 20. As soon as the department discovered this, it immediately made the archives private and contacted Google to clear its cache of the information, which it has done.”

In his e-mail to the applicants, Gauthier apologized for the mishap and urged students to continue to monitor electronic correspondence and credit information.

“The security and safety of our community is ofutmost importance to us, and Duke University works hard to protect the personal information of prospective students and other community members,” he wrote. “We are taking multiple steps to address this exposure of information and prevent it from happening again.”

Shuchi Parikh THE CHRONICLE

The Robertson Scholars Program will expand funding to cover all non-tuition costs beginning next academic year, program President Tony Brown announced in an e-mail to scholars March 8.

The additional funding, provided by program founders Julian and Josie Robertson, will cover all current and future scholars’ room, board and mandatory fees at both Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“Julian Robertson and I have discussed this idea in the past, and we decided to go forward following the [March 5] announcement by Duke University of a similar plan for the merit scholarship programs under the Office of Undergraduate Scholars and

Fellows,” Brown wrote in the e-mail OUSF recently decided to cover nontuition costs for students in the Angier B. Duke, Benjamin N. Duke, Reginald© Howard and University scholarship programs.

Freshman Robertson scholar Meryl Colton said the news of the increased funding came as a surprise, adding that it will improve the program’s recruiting.

“It’s definitely going to make it lot more of a competitive scholarship and bring a lot more people who are really smart [but] who don’t necessarily unfortunately need the money, but it’ll be something you can’t deny because it’s an incredible gift,” she said.

Freshman Robertson scholar Joy Lampkin noted that the increased funding is a benefit for recruiting to Duke because of the University’s high cost of attendance.

CARSON from page 1

Lawrence Lovett, who was arrested Thursday, is charged with first-degree murder in the Eve Carson case.

on Anderson Street near campus.

DPD Chief Jose Lopez said Thursday that investigators do not believe the shootings are gang-related.

Only Stephen Oates, 19, ofDurham had been charged in Mahato’s murder, but police said they now believe Lovett was also involved.

In a hearing Friday, Durham Assistant District Attorney Tracey Cline said Lovett was connected with the Mahato murder by several items of Mahato’s property he had.

She also said Atwater had been called using Mahato’s stolen cell phone.

Mahato died instantly when he was shot point-blank in the forehead, according to an autopsy report by the state’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner dated Thursday.

Lovett was charged with numerous felo-

nies, including burglary and car theft, in the time between the Mahato and Carson murders.

Because he is younger than 18, he will not face the death penalty in the slayings.

Lovett, whose name has also been spelled Lovette in releases, is believed to be the person pictured in a surveillance photo of a man in Carson’s car trying to use her card at a drive-up ATM. The photo was released March 8.

Atwater, a 21-year-old Durham resident, was taken into custody at a Rosedale Avenue residence by members of the DPD Selective Enforcement Unit at around 5 a.m. Wednesday, according to a CHPD statement. He is believed to be the man in a photograph released March 10 taken by a convenience store camera.

CHPD had alerted DPD of Atwater’s residence and the site was under surveillance when Atwater was seen leaving and

was taken into custody. The home is about two miles from Duke’s campus.

He had previously been convicted of several felonies, including breaking and entering and possession of a firearm, according to media reports. Atwater was placed on three years ofprobation in 2005 after the breaking and entering charge, and a hearing to revoke his probation was scheduled for March 31.

Both Atwater and Lovett are being held without bond in Orange and Durham county jails, respectively. Both arrest warrants have been transferred to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

Both men have a hearing March 24 in Hillsborough, and Lovett will have a hearing in Durham for the Mahato case March 27.

A memorial service for students and the community is scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m. in the Dean Smith Center on UNC’s campus to commemorate Carson’s life. UNC, like Duke, was on spring break last week.

CENTRAL from page 1 $4OO million and is scheduled

to be completed in 2011.

He emphasized that the new campus will make students feel like they are in “a campus in the forest,” with space for pedestrian walkways and bike paths along Campus Drive.

‘You can see immediately that this very much has a Duke kind ofcharacter and will extend the character and feel of the existing campus in a very handsome way,” Clarke said.

The plan will integrate the social, residential and academic aspects of the campus, and link West Campus to the Nasher.

During the question-and-answer portion of the meeting, several local residents said they feared that bringing the campus further south would disrupt traffic flow in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Provost Peter Lange said the plan does not accommodate a significant increase in the number of students or cars, but instead answers the existing needs of the University. With two “sizeable” garages built on the perimeter ofcampus, Lange noted that traffic will not disrupt surrounding neighborhoods.

“Parking is dealt with on the perimeter of the new campus, and this is so we can try to keep the cars out of the center,” Clarke said. “We feel this is very, very important to solve the car problem just as we’re solving the student housing problem.”

Lange said that to further reduce traffic and parking problems, the administration will implement a carpooling incentive for students in the future by providing a free parking pass for a group of four students who agree to share a single car on campus.

Phail Wynn, vice president for Durham and regional affairs, moderated the assembly and said it was the first ofseveral on-campus meetings to discuss the progress of the project.

COOPER from page 1 a press release to announce the case “violate the letter and spirit” of Rule 3.6. It also points to statements made by plaintiff Steve Henkelman, father of Erik Henkelman, Pratt ’O6, and the employment ofBob Bork, head of Bork Communications, as potentially prejudicing proceedings.

Cooper’s filing notes that Duke’s motion lacked citations for past cases that would establish precedent for restrictions from Rule 2. 6 for civil litigation.

“Duke offers no evidence—indeed, no genuine argument—in support ofits effort to staunch the flow of public informationabout this case, only unsupported assertions that parrot the rule and its commentary,” the response reads.

-Professor of Law Thomas Metzloffsaid few civil cases attract the kind of attention that would warrant such sanctions.

“Cooper’s response is correct —Rule 3.6 is usually considered in criminal cases,” he said. “But I don’t think that means civil cases are outside [the rule].”

Rule 3.6 applies only to attorneys, but Duke’s motion

also cites the bar’s 98 Formal Ethics Opinion 4, which places certain restrictions on attorneys’ agents. “[lf a third-party] was merely used as a conduit by the attorney to make prejudicial statements the attorney could not, then the attorney violated Revised Rule 3.6,” the Opinion states.

In a blog post March 1, KC Johnson, author of “Until Proven Innocent” and the “Durham-in-Wonderland” blog, suggested that there are ways to respond to publicity other than sanctions.

Duke’s filing does not request a gag order, and Metzloff said he did not think Duke expecte’d restrictions to be imposed. He added that he thought the University wanted to indicate that it considered publicity important.

Johnson said Duke’s motion might have aimed to elicit some indication ofhow litigation should proceed.

“Part of the thinking behind Duke’s motion is to get a sense of whether or not the judge will be inclined to impose any limitations in the future about what can be released,” Johnson said. “I wouldstrongly suspect material [that comes out of discovery] would be material Duke would not want to see on the Web site. If the judge makes a ruling here that

basically says any legal document can go up on this Web site, that really increases the incentive for Duke to settle.”

Metzloff said, however, that the pretrial issue was too preliminary to get a signal from the judge about proceedings.

“This is a collateral issue—l don’t think it has any moment at all for whether Duke would settle,” he said. “What will influence settlement is if Duke tries to dismiss particular claims because they don’t think they are appropriate.”

Johnson’s post also noted the existence of Duke’s own Web site related to the lacrosse matter, news.duke.edu/lacrosseincident, which he said could have a similar influence on the case as the plaintiffs’.

Duke’s lacrosse-related site has not been updated since July 2007, before suits were filed.

Johnson said although he did not think eitherWeb site was inappropriate, the existence ofDuke’s own site related to the lacrosse case could weaken its argument for an injunction.

A hearing for the University’s motion is scheduled for March 20, but Bork wrote in an e-mail that he believedit would be rescheduled. University Counsel Pam Bernard has said she will not make further comment on the case, as it is ongoing.

did... he really looked like a veteran, like a guy who’s pitched in the ACC for a while.”

Sophomore Alexander Hassan went the last two innings for his fourth save of the year, to complement three hits from the leadoff spot. That capped a sizzling stretch for Hassan, who picked up three saves while finishing 1 l-of-19 from the plate in the Blue Devils’ five games this week, four of which were wins.

“I don’t know if there’s much more you can do,” McNally said. “I’m certain he’ll sleep well tonight. Leading off, getting three hits, picking up a save—that’s a long day on a Sunday of an emotional series.”

Sunday’s game was the smoothest for Duke, which scored three times in the first inning and never looked back. Hassan started it with an opposite-field single before Matt Williams was hit by a pitch.

Jeremy Gould drove in Hassan with an RBI single. With runners on the corners, Gould stole second. Cavalier catcher Franco Valdes bounced the throw into the .outfield, allowing Williams to score the Blue Devils’ second run. Jonathan Nicolla’s two-out, RBI double put Duke up three.

Friday’s win was more hectic, as Duke squandered an early lead before coming back in the bottom of the eighth with three two-out runs. Freshman Jake Lemmerman hit a double to drive in the deciding run before Hassan closed the door in the ninth. Lemmerman’s heroics came after the Blue Devils scored six runs in three innings off Virginia ace and likely first-round draft pick Jacob Thompson.

“That was a terrific win for us, a real building-block win. It’s nice to win a game that way,” McNally said. “For us to be up, then down and come back, that was special.”

Quinzani's 6 goals key

Duke rout of Tar Heels by

Archith Ramkumar THE CHRONICLE

With 8:04 remaining in the third quarter, attackman Max Quinzani appeared to lose a scoring opportunity when he was flattened by a defender with possession of the ball. As he fell, though, the sophomore still fired a shot and celebrated his fourth goal of the match lying flat on his back.

The sequence was emblematic DUKE 18 of how well the top-ranked Blue Devils’ offense g UIMC performed from r IQ DUKE 1 start to finish on their way to a 19-9 victory over No. 3 North Carolina (5-1, 0-1 in the ACC) Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium. Quinzani led Duke (7-0, 2-0) with a career-high six goals.

“We knew that coming into this game that in past years, they’ve gotten up on us early,” senior goalie Dan Loftus said. “In the locker room we said, we don’t want that to happen to us. We said the game is 60 minutes, not 30.”

The Blue Devils’ early focus showed, as they stormed out of the gate and never looked back.

Ned Crotty started the scoring for Duke, as he spun his way through the Tar Heel defense to put the Blue Devils up 10 barely two minutes into the game. Less than two minutes later, senior Zack Greer stole the ball from North Carolina goalie Grant Zimmerman and found Quinzani, who scored easily.

After both squads traded goals twice putting Duke up 4-2—the Blue Devils took control with a 6-0 run in the second quarter. Quinzani tallied two goals just over a minute apart by making difficult catches in traffic to extend Duke’s advantage to four.

olina appeared to make a run toward the end of the second period when it notched two quick strikes, but the Blue Devils scored four straight to open the third quarter and erased any chance of a Tar Heel win.

For the game, Duke and North Carolina had an almost equal number of looks, with 47 and 46 attempts on goal, respectively.

But Loftus made a season-high 15 saves.

Although both teams had a similar amount of offensive chances, the Blue Devils’ ability to steal the ball enabled them to keep North Carolina from capitalizing around the net.

“I thought we got some great goalie play and good team defense,” head coach John Danowski said. “We were able to push the ball and get goals in a variety of different ways. That really helped us get a lead.”

A number of Duke players reached milestones in the game, including Greer, whose five scores made him the all-time goals leader in school history. The Blue Devils improved to S2-0 when Greer has three or more goals.

After the game, however, the talented senior had little to say about the milestone, focusing instead on the big picture of what had happened Saturday afternoon.

“I didn’t even know,” Greer said of the record. “We beat Carolina. Doubled them up.”

Quinzani continued his torrid production, as he leads the ACC with 22 goals. The sophomore is on pace to easily surpass his 24 goals scored last year.

The victory gives the Blue Devils their seventh straight over their crosstown rivals.

It also gives Duke its second victory over a top-five opponent this season, both of which have come with comfortable margins of victory.

The Blue Devils, however, were only focused on their latest conquest over the Tar Heels.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re playing checkers,” Loftus said. “Anytime you beat [North Carolina], if you’re a fan or a player, it’s a great day to be a Blue Devil.”

Will there be intergenerational political conflict, as some predict? The costs of long-term care, already enormous both for individuals and society, will be far greater in the decades ahead. What should be the division of public and private responsibility for these costs? New high-cost health care technologies and procedures will be developed continuously. Can society afford to pay the bills for older persons to benefit from all of these? Will health care of older persons be rationed? How aggressively should medical treatment be for demented elders?

You are cordially invited to attend a reception immediatelyfollowing the lecture.

M. BBALL from TCI hit their free throws, they’re as good as anybody.

We had some looks that we just missed.”

In March, when the game is on the line, good teams have to win at the line.

And Clemson—whose recent histo from the charity stripe has cost it regular-season, programboosting victories—showed its maturity in Saturday’s second half when it knocked down 13 of its 17 free throws. By doing so, the Tigers shut the door on the Blue Devils, who were in prime position to win even as the clock wound down on their ACC championship aspirations.

With 47 seconds left in the contest, point guard Greg Paulus drained a contested 3-pointer to pull Duke to within two at 71-69. Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell appeared noticeably worried on the sidelines—and it wasn’t just because of the puddle of water growing to his left from the rainstorms

duke's

that had busted a leak in the arena’s roof. Purnell knew his team would need to overcome its Achilles’ heel to pull off a herculean win over a team to which it had lost 22 consecutive times.

But guard Cliff Hammmonds, who entered the game as a 46-percent free-throw shooter, hit four of the team’s six foul shots in the closing seconds to seal the victory. With the win, Clemson reached the ACC Tournament finals for the first time since 1962, “We’ve been talking about it all year. Free throws are going to be big for us in a big-time situation,” Hammonds said. “We knew that if we step to the line with confidence, and step to the line like we’re going to knock them down each and every time, they’re going to drop. And that’s the way I went to the line.”

The Tigers shot at a 51-percent clip from thefield for die night and 37 percent from beyond the arc, but the team really shined in the paint, where frontcourt starters Sam Perry, Trevor Booker and James Mays combined for 40 points and 16 rebounds.

The Blue Devils’ starting for Lance Thomas, on the other hi lective two points and four reh “Our emphasis against D who plays them says yout Purnell said. “It’s hard to do much pressure on the bash did a great job sealing inside get him the ball and he was were able to attack that weak what the weakness is, but it's Krzyzewski said that Sing the weekend.

UNC 76, DUKE 68 No. 5 Duke's comeback effort in the second half fell short as the Blue Devils lost to No. 1 North Carolina, 76-68, in the regular season finale March 8 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The defeat spoiled senior night, as DeMarcus Nelson was honored prior to the contest.

Duke rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit to claim a 68-66 lead when Jon Scheyer scored on a layup with 5:42 left in the contest.

North Carolina responded by scoring the game's final 10 points to secure the victory. (AP)

Duke isn’t the top seed in the East, won’t play in Raleigh or Charlotte and might have to travel to Phoenix to reach the Final Four.

Still, the Blue Devils’ draw is about as favorable as they could have asked for.

Duke received a No. 2 seed in the West Region when the NCAA Tournament brackets were released Sunday night. The Blue Devils (27-5) play 15th-seeded Belmont bracket (25-8) Thursday at the Verizon Center in Washington," D.C, After Duke lost to Clemson in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament Saturday, some so-called bracketologisLs had relegated Duke to a No. 3 seed. It was a far cry from a month ago, when the Blue Devils seemed primed for the No. 1 line in the East and the comfort of potentially playing four games in North Carolina before the national semifinals in San Antonio.

Four losses in 11 games, though, shifted expectations. Before Selection Sunday, Duke’s draws alternated by pundit. Some had the Blue Devils as a No. 3 seed, some as a No. 2; some had them in the Raleigh pod, some in more remote locations.

Sdme were right, some were less right; the selection committee rewarded Duke’s second-place A£C finish and bevy of quality wins with arguably the last No. 2 seed and (wo opening games in the capital, home to a large Duke alurnui base.

Wisconsin, the team most predicted to steal Duke’s second seed, ended up as a No.

ACC Tournament Notes

Duke upsets Terps, falls to UNC

North Carolina defeated Clemson for the third time this season Sunday to claim its second consecutive ACC title.

•

A look at the Blue Devils'ACC Tournament run through the lens Led by a 22-point effort from senior Wanisha Smith and 16 from sophomore Joy Cheek, the Blue Devils avenged two regular-season losses to the Terrapins when they upset the No. 2 seed, 74-63.

Duke ended the game on an 11-4 run, after two clutch shots from Maryland's Krysti Tolliver that brought the Terrapins back into contention. The Blue Devils also went 6-of-10 from the charity stripe in the final two minutes to seal the victory. After the emotional win, however, Duke was unable to repeat its stellar performance on Chapionship Sunday, falling by 13 points to Tobacco Road foes, North Carolina. Chante Black and Jasmine Thomas both put up 16 points, but it was not enough to boost their team past the nation's No. 2 and ACC's No. 1 team.

The Tar Heels' Tyler Hansbrough, who lifted North Carolina into Sunday's championship game with a last-second jumper against Virginia Tech in the semifinals, was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.

•

Hansbrough was joined on the All-Tournament first team by teammates Wayne Ellington and Marcus Ginyard and Clemson's K.C. Rivers and Trevor Booker.

•

ACC TOURNAMENT SEMIFINAL: DUKE 74, MARYLAND 63

Duke's DeMarcus Nelson headlined the AllTournament second team. The Tigers' James Mays and Cliff Hammonds and Virginia Tech's A.D. Vassallo and Malcolm Delaney filled out the second team.

•

North Carolina's victory earned it the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. As a reward, the Tar Heels get to play in the Raleigh pod before potentially moving to Charlotte for the East Regional.

•

Virginia Tech's impressive performance in Saturday's 68-66 loss to North Carolina earned the Hokies no moral victories. Virginia Tech was one of the last teams left out of the NCAA Tournament despite a fourth-place ACC finish and a 19-13 overall record.

No. 4 Duke knocks off No. 9 Hoyas

No. 4 Duke defeated ninth-ranked Georgetown, 12-11, Saturday to extend its home winning streak to 19 games.

The Blue Devils (7-1) and Hoyas (5-1) traded the lead throughout the second half, with Georgetown going ahead 10-9 with just under 15 minutes to play. Duke, however, outscored I*| GTOWN TT" the Hoyas 3-1 down the stretch, DUKE shutting them out over the final 10 minutes.

VERMONT 6 Midfielder Jess Adam scored DUKE 20 the game-winning goal. It was the junior’s third game-winner of the season.

The Blue Devils lost the overall draws for the fourth straight contest, but during the last 15 minutes, Duke won all five draws. That spurred the Blue Devils to their closing SIMEON LAW/CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO run and their fifth comeback win this season.

Duke secured two wins over breakand have now taken 19straight at home.

Duke’s duo of junior attackers, Megan Del Monte and

Carolyn Davis, combined for five goals to lead the Blue Devil offense.

The victory was Duke’s second consecutive following its lone loss of the year at Princeton. The Blue Devils defeated Vermont, 20-6, Tuesday at home behind four goals each from Del Monte and Davis.

Duke scored the game’s first seven goals, and the margin was never closer than six after the opening salvo. The Blue Devils forced 18 turnovers and junior goalie Kim Imbesi had five saves for Duke.

The two spring break victories stretched the Blue Devils’ home winning streak to 19 games. Duke has not lost at Koskinen Stadium since April 1, 2006, a span of nearly two years.

The Blue Devils next travel down Tobacco Road to Chapel Hill to battle No. 7 North Carolina at 1 p.m. Saturday at Fetzer Field.

SEEDING from page 4 3 in the Midwest despite winning the Big Ten’s regular season and conference tournament. Then again, Duke pummeled the Badgers 82-58 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. That impressive performance, even in November, might have given Duke the final edge.

The team that routed Wisconsin and the team that struggled at times down the stretch, however, are far from the same. The Blue Devils need to be the former to advance in the Tournament, and they need to conjure that November magic for their opening-round matchup with Belmont.

The Bruins were the only team to emerge from the Atlantic Sun Conference, a rugged league whose teams spoiled powerhouse programs’ early seasons. Gardner-Webb knocked off Kentucky and Mercer beat USC. Both majorconference teams qualified for the field of 65. Belmont itself garnered two recognizable wins, topping Cincinnati andAlabama before losing by 41 to Xavier, the region’s No. 3 seed.

But the Bruins’ finish was more impressive than their early relative success. They won their last 13 games and cut down the nets at the conference tournament to earn the postseason berth, their second straight. As a No. 15 seed last year, they lost to Georgetown 80-55 in the first round.

When the Blue Devils peek past Belmont—as plenty of sudden college basketball experts will—they should be thrilled with their road to San Antonio.

If Duke wins its first game, it plays the winnerof No. 7 West Virginia and No. 10 Arizona. The Mountaineers’ leading scorer JoeAlexanderis a legitimate threat, but his squad pales in comparison to the other No. 7 seeds, two perennial Cinderellas in Buder and Gonzaga and a team that topped Duke, Miami.

Duke fans are already abuzz with a looming Sweet 16 matchup with Xavier, arguably the weakest No. 3 seed in the field. But before you book your tickets to Texas, remember what happened last year in the first round, or what has happened to four No. 2 seeds in Tournament history.

Or you can already start dreaming about a game against No. 1 UCLA with the Final Four on the line, or a National Championship against North Carolina or the even slimmer possibility of a certain perfection: your bracket’s.

issues, the first-year experience and curricular/extracurricular engagement —in a single week, the committee has proven itself overambitious. Information gathering cannot be rushed, especially on such a broad range of important topics.

In order to truly avoid the mistakes of the initiative and

effectively bring in general student input, the committee must operate on a timeline thatreflects the care and thought that gender issues require.

As candidates for Duke Student Government begin to present their platforms and prioritize their visions for this University, we hope they make the Committee on Gender and its work an election issue.

ibis week may prove to be very self-selecting, with some of the- usual actors —such as the Baldwin Scholars program, AQUADuke and the LGBT Task Force—shaping the discussion. The committee needs to seek input from a wide variety of campus sources, not echo the voices that have already spoken extensively on the issue.

Only with true student input can the informationgathering phase of this committee be complete. This is a process that can take months, even years, to be done correctly—not weeks.

morning.

For the past eight columns, seven that were relatively inoffensive and one that angered a tenter with no sense of humor (is there any other kind?), I have tried to uphold a vision of journalistic integrity that would The rejuvenate Chronicle and creAD SPACE S4S,OOQ/year ate opportunity for all future writers.

FOR RENT I sought to bring real humor to these pages, and that will monday, monday continue but seriously Toda \ however, I want to briefly address a private matter.

Earlier this semester I approached my editor about doing a feature piece for Towerview about what really goes on during Spring Break. All I knew about the week-long college tradition was what I saw on MTV in high school, and I figured there must be more to Spring Break than “Say What? Karaoke” and unintelligible performances

by Busta Rhymes.

I wanted to emulate the best in investigative journalism—Woodward, Bernstein, Dateline’s Chris Hansen.

But seriously, she thought this was a terrific idea, and so last week I boarded a plane to Acapulco, Mexico, with the intention of going deep undercover and separating reality from reality show. Well, things didn’t exactly go as planned and I have decided to break my silence and come clean to the Duke community.

I have acted in away that violates my obligations to this newspaper and violates my, or anyone’s, sense of right and wrong.

No, it wasn’t the whipped cream bikini contest in which I participated and placed a close second.

Nor was it the wave runner/bonfire accident that resulted in the loss of one man’s eyebrows. Those things are pretty embarrassing and I apologize again to Juan, but they do not compare to another heinous act I committed.

You see, my editor gave me a generous stipend to use only in case of emergency and I regrettably spent that money on $4,300-an-hour worth of room service. Yes, room service in Acapulco is charged by the hour. And yes, it is really expensive, especially when you have to pay for the food’s train tickets and overnight accommodations.

As I type this, my editor stands beside me wear-

ing a light blue pants suit and pearl necklace as a way of showing her undying support.

Anyway, it all started fairly innocently. I was watching the Kevin Kline film “The Emperor’s Club” on TV and suddenly my stomach started growling. Now I could have waited until dinner that night like the rest of my friends. I could have had some willpower and acted accordingly. Unfortunately, my lazy urges were too strong to overcome and I dialed 9 for room service.

When it was time to order I wanted to receive everything, even foods that might be considered “unsafe.” I was up for any kinky culinary combination—turkey on ciabatta, ciabatta on ciabatta, Polish sausage on ciabatta served hot-doggy style.

Anyway, a young lady named Maria (actual name: Ashley Alexandra Dupre Garcia) delivered the food to my door within 20 minutes and told me to check out her MySpace page.

Now, this next part is a bit embarrassing for even me to admit. Though I may sound like I knew what I was doing, this was actually my first time getting room service and, not surprisingly, I finished in 45 seconds. Yeah, it was that good.

The problem is that I craved more and by the end of my Spring Break assignment I had spent approximately $BO,OOO of The Chronicle’s money on rbom service alone. (Don’t even get me started on that overpriced minibar.) As a serious columnist, I used to fight against spendthrift and gluttony in these back pages of the newspaper.

I have soiled my good name as well as my hotel room’s carpet, in that case with delicious bolognese sauce.

Clearly, I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my editor and to Jazzercise off the pounds I put on during the past week.

For this reason, I will be resigning my position as Monday, Monday columnist at the end of the semester. I know detractors will be rejoicing at this news, particularly The Chronicle Online poster who goes by the alias “But Seriously, You Suck.”

I wish the best ofluck to my Fall 2008 successor, whoever he or she may be. I realize that this may come as a shock to many of you, including Juan, who cannot facially express surprise.

So, in the immortal words of Timbaland featuring One Republic, [I am deeply sorry and sincerely hope that it is not] too late to apologize.

Eh. Eh. Eh.” “

David Distenfeld is currently biting his lip to convey a feeling of shame.

jail. If convicted, they certainly deserve a harsh sentence for their crimes. The sentencing may feel good and help alleviate a bit of our anger. However, putting three youths behind bars indefinitely can hardly be considered a victory for anyone.

It is easy to play the blame game, pointing fingers at overburdened and underfunded institutions. There is definitely a need to reexamine these programs and fix their shortcomings. In the wake of the murders, we have already heard calls for an urgent investigation into Durham’s gang problems and a look at the parole and probation systems. It will be up to all of us as Durham citizens to make sure the pressure on this and other initiatives continues even after the media hype from the murders wanes.

But long-run political solutions are not enough and no amount of our collective anger will stop the next juvenile delinquents from becoming murderers. The young men committing these crimes are the same age as Duke students and are living just a few miles from campus. It is not acceptable for us to leave change to an impersonal political system.

Unless we are content allowing social divides to grow, everyone in the Duke community has an obligation to become directly involved to bridge those divides. Nothing could set a better example than legions of Duke students—black and white, rich and poor, athletes and engineers—directly involved in the lives of Durham’s young and needy populations. • Ironically, Eve Carson exemplified what such community involvement should look like. Carson tutored elementary school students in Chapel Hill and Durham and coached girl’s running. In addition to all of her community work, Carson was student body president, a board of trustees member, Phi Beta Kappa honor society member and leader of a UNC group fighting global hunger and poverty. If she was not too busy to spend time volunteering in the community, I challenge anyone on our campus to make such a claim.

In his remarks at his daughter’s funeral, Bob Carson noted, “I believe that these kids, along with their peers around the globe, can reach reasoned solutions for mitigating violence and tackling many of the inequities of poverty, prejudice, inadequate health care and undereducation.”

This call to action should not be only for privileged Duke and UNC students. Instead of standing by to watch more young people fall through the cracks, we can make a commitment to seal those cracks and prevent future tragedies by demanding structural change and contributing our own direct commitment to action.

Thought, the frontman/co-founder/primary MC for The Roots, had it right. In “Pussy Galore,” a song from Phrenology, the group’s 2002 release, he rapped, “It’s more powerful than cocaine... to give your product that extra push” and “Sex controls America, turn the TV on, it’s in the open on the regular.”

We like to think of people who unabashedly sell sex as society’s “other”—some breed of underground people that bear no resemblance to the rest of us. It makes them easier to demonize.

They are the type of people that make porn and rap videos. They are the type of people that buy and sell each other’s bodies. Whenever sex makes its way 3Q6 3 S3WyGT into our respectable world, above-ground maybe It'S 016 the reasoning (read: cop-out to keep ourselves from feeling akin to the “other”) is simple Sex sells.

Thought approached something a bit more insidious though. He challenged us with two things: First, that selling sex seldom means actually selling the act or opportunity for intercourse; rather, it usually means commoditizing and selling women’s bodies. Second,-that even with all our self-conferred absolution, those of us who count ourselves among society’s upstanding citizens are willing participants in trafficking human flesh. Thought used a 200-mile road trip as his reference: “200 miles, she was the only thing I saw, promoting everything from the liquor to the nicotine, cell phones, antihistamine [and] chicken wings.” To that list I would add clothes, movies, deodorant spray, “male enhancement” and even presidential candidates.

A cursory look at the way companies market their products reveals a reliable formula: Add a freshfaced young woman and subtract clothes to multiply revenue.

To simply blame capitalist firms skirts the issue.

Although they can influence our tastes and desires, companies are ultimately beholden to the consumer. If we want something badly enough they give it to us, and they keep doing so until we won’t pay for it anymore. Therefore, if “life is 'bout marketing pussy galore,” it’s because we exhibit some sort of pathology that makes us ravenous for it, and we’ll take anything that it is authentically or artificially attached to. Furthermore, our hunger knows no gender boundaries, as the success of such marketing could never hinge on men alone.

In a sense, we respectable people are not very different from the “others” (never mind that many of us oscillate fluidly between the sexual netherworld and accepted society). We buy the commoditized female body as much as anyone and we are insatiable. Paradoxically though, we seem to hate the very part of ourselves that desires it. Case in point: Eliot Spitzer, the recently-resigned governor ofNew York. I think he embodies our society’s conflict. We like to think that we have transcended sexism or carnal desires, but in the shadows of our minds we still indulge, and when the two collide in consumer culture, the response is simple: Sex sells.

To say that I know exactly where the crux of the issue lies, or what the solution is would be a lie. In fact, I’m not sure that one exists. If one does exist, however, I imagine the first step to finding it is recognizing the condition’s existence. I think that in a way Spitzer is an example of someone who (albeit forced) did just that. There may be quiet nobility in looking oneself in the eye and recognizing one’s place in our culture. The question is whether we will do so as a society, and, if so, when. Once again, I don’t have an answer, so until then, “gimme a thong, and pussy galore.”

Filling in the cracks Carson was a model leader, student and human being. I was shocked and angry to hear about her death. I did not have the privilege of knowing Eve personally, but I had certainly heard a lot about her from friends at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In the days following the shooting, it was disturbing to think about the killers potentially free in our community. I was imagining barely human cold-blooded murderers; who else could commit david fiocco such a crime? that the susLearning shades of blue pected killers were 17- and 21-year-old kids committing a “random” robbery was almost as much of a shock as hearing about Eve’s death. Just like 19-year-old Stephen Oates, who was arrested for the January murder of Duke graduate student Abhijit Mahato, Lawrence Lovett and Demario Atwater are young Durham residents. Lovett and Atwater were dropouts'from Durham’s Jordan High School—the alma mater to a number of Duke students each year.

Few people are likely to shed tears for these three individuals. All are Durham youths who already had long criminal records. Lovett’s rap sheet, for someone just 17 years old, is appalling. In addition to Carson’s murder, Durham authorities also charged him in the death of Mahato. Just two days before that shooting he had been placed on probation for a previous robbery, and between January and March he was arrested and charged with nine different crimes.

At age 17, most of us were juniors or seniors in high school. We were finishing our SATs, playing on sports teams or participating in academic competitions and perhaps working part-time jobs. At that point, there was likely little question we would attend college after we graduated.

So where did their paths diverge from ours? It is hard to imagine a more starding picture of the stratification in our society or more tangible evidence that something is failing in the community. Children do not generally just become criminals.

Bad parenting and poor family values may be some of the most formative factors, but there is not much we can do to enforce better parenting. However, these kids managed to slip through the cracks in the public school system, the juvenile justice system and every social service and child support program supported by city, county, state and federal taxes.

Lawrence Lovette, Demario Atwater and Stephen Oates are likely to spend most of the rest of their lives in
