The top-seeded Blue Devils were focused and quietly stretching during the pregame warmups of Sunday’s NCAA tournament quarterfinal unseeded Ohio State when the silence was suddenly broken.

Shouting and screaming, the Buckeyes ran out of their locker room and onto the field, sprinting along the midfield line and trash-talking the Duke players. The tactic was meant to get the Blue Devils off their game, but most players didn’t even take notice. Some even laughed.

“We encourage that stuff. We think it’s almost funny,” senior midfielder Ned Grotty said. “We love that...teams that are a bunch of cheerleaders. I think we are too talented of a team to have a bunch of guys talk to us and have that get us off our

game.”

It didn’t take Duke long to prove that, After Ohio State scored the game’s first goal 30 seconds in, the Blue Devils reeled off nine straight markers before the first quarter ended. Duke continued its dominance throughout the contest and Zack Greer registered a career-high 11 points as the Blue Devils rolled over the Buckeyes 21-10 in Ithaca, N.Y.

The three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals did not strike down the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. But they reinstated Maj. Margaret Witt's lawsuit, saying the Air Force must prove that her dismissal furthered the military's goals of troop readiness and unit cohesion.

THE CHRONICLE

Zhizhong Li calls his parents twice a day, morning and night—but not because he is homesick.

Li, a third-year graduate student in molecular cancer biology, said his parents are just two of thousands of sidewalk refugees in his hometown of Jinyang, sent to the streets after a 7.9-magnitude earthquake rocked China’s Sichuan province May 12.

Li’s home still stands, but cracks in the building have yet to be inspected. As a result, his parents often find themselves sleeping on the sidewalk, braving the rain without a roof over their heads. Aftershocks rattle their fragile campsite several times a day.

Li estimated that half of his hometown —with a population of500,000—is in the same position.

Although the buildings toppled almost 8,000 miles away, tremors from the massive seism have sparked a strong call for action among many of Duke’s Chinese students.

As of Tuesday, the confirmed death toll stood at 40,000, with China’s Sichuan amassing the greatest tally of victims. Some Duke students were born just miles from the epicenter of the quake in Mianyang.

But the seism was felt throughout most of the country, and Blue Devils hailing from Beijing to J inyang have begun to rally to the aid of victims they do not know.

The passage of the Financial aid initiative and the increase of scholarship benefits brought changes to this year’s class of scholars.

The Benjamin N. Duke and the Robertson Scholarships both experienced increases in yield, to 94 percent and 86 percent, from approximately 69 and 64 percent, respectively, but the Angier B. Duke scholarship—often referred to by Duke students as the most prestigious academic scholarship—saw its yield drop to 40 percent.

This year marked a benchmark for college opportunities for those in financial need. Duke’s peer institutions, such as Harvard, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania, have completely eliminated loans and have said they are prepared to offer students from lower-income families better packages than before.

Rosenberg said these changes in financial aid may have impacted Duke’s scholarship yield.

reaching the maintenance room to help Gofer.”

Gofer’s family hired Raleigh attorney Lacy Presnell May 15 to ensure an analysis of the University’s safety efforts and accident preparedness.

Presnell said no lawsuit is pending and investigations are too preliminary for conclusions to be drawn. He added that Duke representatives and investigators are working chiefly to gather information.

“At this point, [the Gofer family] has just asked for assistance in investigating this tragedy,” he said. “Nothing else has occurred and nothing has been filed.”

Neal O’Briant, public information officer for the N.C. Department of Labor, said the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Division has begun its inspection of the building but said he cannot comment on the findings for two to three months.

“The department cannot release details of our investigation until we issue citations, which list alleged violations of the occupational safety and health standards,” he said.

Officials from the Durham Fire Department also said they would not release findings for “a good while,” and Dawkins said the University’s investigation will take approximately three months.

Dawkins added that he does not know how Gofer died or exactly what he was doing when the explosion occurred “We know that there was a team working in the building at the time,” Dawkins said. “We’re making assessments of all the things they were doing.”

Erma Gray, Duke’s Facilities Management communications specialist, said she did not think the occupational safety standards were problematic, adding that this is the first workplace fatality to her knowledge in the more than two decades she has worked at Duke.

Gray—who took lunch breaks with Gofer for seven years—said she is confident in her own workplace safety despite a lack of information about the incident.

“I’ve been in this department for 21 years, and it’s pretty up on keeping things safe,” she said. “You can’t have everything perfect all the time. Things like this are going to

The steam pipe rupture is Duke’s most recent accident due to a safety hazard, but the University has been cited for safety' violations in the past.

In May 2003, the Department ofLabor cited the University for two “non-serious” violations: one for neglecting to determine the presence of hazards that would require using personal protective equipment, and the other for not properly informing employees about hazardous chemicals present in laboratories and the measures they should take to protect themselves.

This is the first time, however, that the Department of Labor has issued an inspection of the LSRC building.

“In cases like this one, the investigator will interview witnesses and other employees, look at the University’s safety policies and safety training records and investigate whether the equipment was operated in accordance to the manufacturer’s specifications,” O’Briant said.

The inspection, which will seek to determine if Duke violated any occupational safety and health standards, will focus only on events related to the accident, he added.

DA may unseal search warrants in Carson slaying Orange County Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour delayed a decision Wednesday on whether or not he would make public the autopsy report for University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson, according to reports from WRAL. Attorneys for The (Raleigh) News and Observer argued in court that the report should be unsealed because it is public record. Baddour scheduled another hearing for June 11.

Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said he planned to release six search warrants in the investigation within the next 30 to 45 days. Another hearing has been scheduled for June 27. Last month, Baddour ordered that the search warrants would be kept sealed'because they contain affidavits that hold confidential information about informants, according to WRAL. Laurence Lovette, who has been charged with firstdegree murder in Carson’s death and faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of Duke graduate student Abhijit Mahato, also appeared before Baddour Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.

Lovette’s attorney asked that he be given bond, which Baddour denied.

Students report bat in Central apartment Students reported they had discovered a bat in their Central Campus apartment near the Sarah P. Duke Gardens Tuesday night around 9 p.m. The students found the bat Tuesday in their ventilation closet and shooed it out, said John Duncan, the facility manager for Central apartments.

Wednesday morning, Residence Life and Housing Services sent an e-mail notification to students currendy living on Central recommending how to avoid the creatures, which they said are more likely to fly into apartments during the summer to avoid the heat Duncan said bats are more common in the Gardens area because of the large number of mosquitoes around the pond.

“It’s really early in the year to see a bat, although there were a couple of times during the winter when somebody reported seeing them,” he said. “Usually they breed in June or July, and that’s when the babies start flying, so they’ll fly into any open door as you open the door or sliding door. If they’re tiny enough, they can get in the attic and come down the chase. Every time we hear of a bat we send somebody to look into the cracks. We had a lot of movement in the buildings with the drought.”

RLHS officials wrote in the e-mail notification that there have been no cases of bats harming or biting students, and Duncan told The Chronicle in March that no rabies tests have returned positive.

Tuesday’s bat was the first to be found this summer, officials said. Typically three or four bats are found in Central apartments every year, Duncan said.

Despite the annual reports of bats on campus, Duncan said the problem is largely unavoidable.

“There’s nothing that you can do for most of the ways of access—we do what we can to make sure we seal [the cracks] up to make sure that’s not the way [the bats] come in,” he said.

“We challenge Senator Obama to meet our standard” for keeping lobbyists out of the campaign organization, Bounds added.

Americans grapple with news of Sen. Kennedy's brain tumor by

Glen Johnson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON After the Boston Red Sox’s 85-year span without a World Series championship, perhaps the most familiar streak in Massachusetts is the half-century that a Kennedy has represented the state in the U.S. Senate.

Now, the news that Sen. Edward Kennedy has a cancerous brain tumor is forcing people to contemplate the day when he will no longer be there.

“It’s almost incalculable,” said Thaleia Schlesinger, whose brother, former Sen. Paul Tsongas, toiled in Kennedy’s oversize shadow before resigning in 1984 to cope with cancer that eventually killed him in 1997.

“He’s the go-to guy over and over again. You just look at the universities, the hospitals, the high-tech indus-

Sen. Edward Kennedy was diagnosed with a brain tumor Tuesday.

try, education, never mind health care. He’s always been there.”

Immigrants lining up at the John F. Kennedy Federal Building, tourists strolling on the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway and ordinary folks who received handwritten thank-you notes from the senator or a surprise distinguished visitor at a family wake pondered a future without Ted Kennedy.

“Forty-six years is a long time to be a senator. That’s got to count for something when it comes to delivering for the state,” said Ron Mills, who runs the shoeshine stand next to 122 Bowdoin St., the Beacon Hill address in the House John F. Kennedy claimed when he served1960. and Senate and was elected president in JFK served in the Senate from 1953 to 1960. Then Kennedy family friend Benjamin Smith warmed the Senate seat for two years until Ted Kennedy reached the minimum age of 30 specified in the Constitution. His Senate career is now the third-longest in the chamber’s history.

Brian Hart of Bedford first met Kennedy in November 2003 at Arlington National Cemetery, when the senator attended the funeral of Hart’s son John, a soldier killed in Iraq. He recalled Wednesday how the senator listened to his story about soldiers and their vehicles lacking proper armor. Kennedy followed up by calling a hearing later that month.

Today every military vehicle in Iraq is armored.

And within six months of Kennedy’s hearing, all U.S. soldiers had been issued ballistic plates for their body armor.

“He’s a wonderful guy. Literally hundreds of people are alive because ofhis work and literally hundreds were not woundedbecause of his work,” Hart said.

The 76-year-old Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant glioma, an especially lethal type of brain tumor.

Most such patients die within three years, sooner if they are older.

DATA BREACH from page 6 lie drives within 30 minutes of when the school became aware of the problem April 30, Fuqua officials said. Within hours, all major search engines had cleared their caches and indexes of the student information.

“After we cleared the information from our drives, we looked into protecting Duke students,” Hogan said.

Since becoming aware of the breach, Fuqua officials have conducted a thorough review of the school’s electronic accounts to ensure no personal information is subject to unauthorized access, she said. No former or current Fuqua-students were affected.

Although personal information ofDuke students has never been inadvertendy leaked on a public forum, the University has been a victim of data breaches in the form of hacking.

In March 2005, a hacker broke into Fuqua admissions software and showed applicants how to log in to see if they had been admitted. Only one person was affected in the incident.

In June of that year, user passwords, addresses and partial Social Security numbers were hacked from the Duke University Medical Center’s server. 14,500 faculty members, alumni and trainees were victims of the breach.

In December 2007, the School ofLaw reported that intruders who hacked into their Web site may have accessed the Social Security numbers of more than 1,400 applicants to the school. It was unclear whether the intruders actually acquired any of the information, Melinda Vaughn, executive director of communications for the School ofLaw, told The Chronicle in December of last year.

Christopher Penido, a network security analyst in NYU’s Communications & Computing Services, said there have been an estimated 10 million or more victims of data breaches per year in the United States.

“The consequences of such data breaches can run the gamut from tarnishing an organization’s reputation to financial loss and even legal liability,” he said.

He added that many of the breaches involved the use of insecure.software that lacked critical security patches and updates, much like that in the situation at NYU. “Before there was as much Internet presence, schools used Social Security numbers more frequendy as student IDs,” Hogan said of the back-up of the 1997 information.

“Schools have moved away from that in the past 10 years.”

THURSDAY,

LEMON GRASS from page 1 locally. He emphasized that it would not be a “neon, fast-food type” Chinese restaurant.

“I’ve been talking to Panda for three or four years,” he said. “They have a lot of energy in their program.... This is an opportunity for us to do something unique and different.”

Ho said, however, that although Panda Express uses fresh products, the food is not necessarily local and is not organic.

Mai Pham, chef and owner of Lemon Grass Restaurant in Sacramento, Calif., said she was disappointed the restaurant would not be coming to Duke at this time.

The decision was made based on the small space available and the inconvenience of having a kitchen on two floors, she added.

“I love the Bryan Center,” Pham said.

“It’s a beautiful location, but there were technical issues.”

Lemon Grass needed space nearly double the 1,450 square feet Dining Services would receive from the renovations taking place on the top floor of the Bryan Center, Wulforst said.

Wulforst added that the decision to change vendors occurred about a week ago.

A downstairs kitchen could have provided extra space but would have escalated the cost of the project above the amount Duke’s dining budget allowed, he added.

“I’m certainly disappointed about Lemon Grass,” Wulforst said. “[However,] we needed to be sensitive about spending Duke’s money.”.

The amount of space Duke planned to devote to the new dining operation in the Bryan Center was decided in early March,

said Chris Roby, director of the Office of Student Activities and Facilities.

The rest of the available space from the renovation had been assigned to OSAF, Duke University Union and the Black Student Alliance, he said. Roby added that a student lounge, a computer cluster and the Duke Innovative Design Agency, a fullservice advertising department for student organizations to launch in the Fall, will also reside in the renovated office space.

The Graduate and Professional Student Council and Duke Performances are the only two groups being relocated from the Bryan Center, Roby said.

As Dining Services looked at options for the Bryan Center, the possibility of adding a Starbucks—an idea that had been discussed for more than a year, but was ultimately derailed because of space constraints—was revisited this Spring, Wulforst said. University officials told The Chronicle

in October that Starbucks had been interested in occupying OSAF’s location in the Bryan Center, but at the time no offices were scheduled to more.

Wulforst said he had met a lot of opposition to the idea of another corporate name on campus when the idea resurfaced As a result, local coffee company Cup A Joe was chosen to be added to the Gothic Bookshop this Fall, Wulforst said, adding that the project has not been affected by the changes involving Lemon Grass.

A larger space for Lemon Grass’s sitdown atmosphere may be created on the new Central Campus within the next few years, he added.

Pham said she hopes she would still be able to open a Lemon Grass somewhere on campus in the future.

“I’m very excited,” she said. [We’re] just waiting for the green light from Duke.” “

EARTHQUAKE from pages sociation, along with smaller, unaffiliated groups of students on campus, are coordinating fund-raising efforts for the victims of the earthquake.

For its part, the University is planning to create a Web site that will outline relief options, identify Duke experts who could be consulted by the Chinese government as relief efforts progress and explore the possibility of supplying medical equipment, drugs and teams of visiting doctors, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta wrote in an e-mail obtained by The Chronicle.

The University also hopes to provide assistance to victims of the cyclone that hit Myanmar May 4 when opportunities for relief become available.

ASA lias already allocated $BOO of its budget for relief efforts and plans to appeal to students to match its donation, said senior Muyan Jin, vice president for community affairs.

DCSSA also held a candlelight vigil on (he Chapel steps May 14 that drew about 120 people and raised more than $6,500 for the Red Cross Society of China, Wang said. She added that most of those who gathered to commemorate the victims of the quake and pray for those still missing were ofChinese descent, but about 20 were members of the Duke community with no ancestral ties to China.

“I thinkjhc support has come from the whole Duke community here,” she said.

Wang added that because the process of earthquake repair could take years, she expects the cause to remain a longterm priority for DCSSA. A fundraising component may be incorporated into many of the group’s signature events, such as the Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration.

With scores of collapsed schools, education has suffered a devastating blow in the Sichuan province. Li, 2007-2008 president of DCSSA, is working with a group of Chinese graduate students in hopes ofcollecting donations from current Duke students, faculty and alumni to build the Duke Hope School to educate students whose schools were destroyed. The University cannot offer funding but will provide legal and technical support, Moneta wrote in the e-mail

correspondence.

“We want to make Duke a big name in China, comparable to its reputation here,” Li said. “Duke has pushed very hard to be a global organization. I think this would be very good for [the University], and of course, it’s very good for China as well.”

Hut for now, Li is primarily worried about the safety ofhis parents.

“They are concerned about how long this will last,” he said. “People don’t know when it will end.”

Beijing sends relief as death toll rises by

William Foreman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

XINHUA, China Chinese leaders moved to contain the political aftershocks of last week’s deadly earthquake, promising a big rebuilding fund, reining in the recently aggressive media and trying to keep despair from turning to anger in the disaster zone.

Still living under makeshift shelters of scrap wood and nylon tarps Wednesday—lo days after the quake—70 farmers in the mountain town of Xinhua pressed against the locked gate of the local government compound, demanding tents.

Ten soldiers in camouflage guarded the fortress-like compound.

“The government said they would deliver more tents last night. But we never got them. It rained last night and it looks like it will rain again tonight,” said one farmer in his 50s who only gave his surname, Zhou. His family of five, including his 80-year-old mother, was living in a rickety lean-to.

Although Beijing has mounted an energetic military mobilization in response to a quake that has left an estimated 50,000 dead and 5 million homeless across Sichuan province, the immense challenge means help is not arriving fast

enough.

Mindful of the problem and the growing discontent, Premier Wen Jiabao announced a $lO billion reconstruction fund and ordered all agencies to cut spending by 5 percent to free up already budgeted money, state media reported.

Wen also called a halt to new state building projects.

In the sprawling quake zone, more schools reopened in the fairly orderly and teeming tented refugee camps in some of the larger towns and cities. The government evacuated more of the injured from strapped hospitals on specially outfitted trains staffed by doctors, with 242 patients leaving the city ofjiangyou for the southwestern provincial capital of Kunming.

Only one rescue was reported —that of 35-year-old Cui Changhui trapped for 216 hours in a water diversion tunnel at a hydropower plant construction site. 4n a fur-

A woman cries as she consoles her relative, who survived the earthquake in the devastatedWenchuan county.

The confirmeddeath toll has reached 41,000, withanother 32,000 people still missing. ther sign of dwindling hopes, rescue work had all but ceased in the obliterated town of Beichuan and workers poured disinfectant over the site, perhaps in preparation, one rescue worker said, for demolition.

For much of the past two days, authorities have kept the media away from Beichuan.

The confirmed death toll from the earthquake rose to 41,353 and another 32,666 remained missing, said a spokesman for the Cabinet.

In the last day of a three-day national mourning period, the communist government was also reverting to well-tested methods to impose its authority.

A message of unity in the face of adversity was prominent in state media and on the streets of the hard-hit city of Shifang. Huge billboards stood in the shopping district in the center of the city, showing pictures of the quake’s damage, including collapsed buildings and injured people. A huge slogan read: “Everyone come together

with one heart.”

In nearby Xinhua, a community of farmhouses and low-rise apartment blocks, a dozen soldiers milled around the protesting crowd of farmers, while others guarded the government office.

State-run media, which conducted unusually probing reporting in the first days after the May 12 quake, shifted to a more positive tone. Deng Yaping, four-time Olympic gold medalist in table tennis and a national hero, was shown on state TV talking to children in the city of Mianyang, where many refugees had been taken from nearby mountains.

“This is the traditional way of doing things for the Communist Party’s propaganda department. They always try to use the information to legitimize the government, and don’t try to reflect, summarize experiences or prevent disasters from happening again,” said Li Datong, the ousted editor of a once-thoughtful weekly supplement to the China Youth Daily newspaper. ,

trip to the Final Four in the last four years and will meet No. 5 Johns Hopkins Saturday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

“I guess that’s part of. their game plan.

They were yelling and jawing at us,” Grotty said. “Obviously, it didn’t work. We went up 9-1 in the first quarter, and it’s kind of tough to talk smack after you’re down like that.”

Ohio State (12-6) employed a spread-out defensive scheme aimed at pressuring the midfielders. Guarding Duke players as far out as the halfway line, the Buckeyes tried to limit the Blue Devils’ scoring opportunities by forcing the midfielders to beat them.

The tactic backfired, as Duke’s first and second midfield lines had some of their best performances of the year. The starting unit of Grotty, Brad Ross and Steve Schoeffel combined for a season-high 10 points, including four goals and three assists during the opening period.

“I guess they didn’t think we could run by them, but they were trying to push out and pressure us, and we were able to run by them every time,” said Grotty, who finished with four assists. “The big thing that helped us was not panicking. Sometimes when a defense pushes out on you, you get uncomfortable and you panic and throw the ball away. But we kept our composure and didn’t freak out at all.”

win its first national title.

ly, Ohio State started to slide from players like Greer and attackman Max Quinzani the country’s leading goal scorers.

But the smart and unselfish passing that has been a Duke hallmark all season long led to easy goals. Quinzani netted five goals and added one assist, while Greer, the NCAA’s all-time leading goal scorer, eclipsed his previous career-high of 10 points—a mark he set in last year’s quarterfinals—with six goals and five assists.

“Things just kind of came my way today.

The ball flowed my way,” Greer said. “Both our midfield lines were really dominant....

The midfield drew so much attention that [Ohio State] had to slide and that opened it up for the rest of us.”

Head coach John -Danowski said the star attackman-’s tallies came in a variety of ways with one common thread: each one was a product of the Blue Devils’ team concept.

“He never dodges for goals, he never scores right-handed, he never feeds righthanded. He’s very limited in what he does, and he gets 11 points,” Danowski said.

“Zack gets very quiet points. When all is said and done, you’re shocked at the number of points he gets just because he plays the game. He just does his job.”

Throughout the season, Danowski said he has stressed that Duke is not simply the Matt Danowski and Zack Greer show, referring to the two Tewaraaton Trophy finalists.

Despite Greer’s remarkable numbers Sunday, last year’s Tewaarton Trophy winner,

it with 17 ticks remaining.

W.LAX from page 1 And once again, it all came down to Imbesi’s performance in the net.

“Kim played out of her mind,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said.

After Duke went on a 3-0 run in the second half to take a 9-0 lead, the Terrapins rallied back, forcing a Blue Devil turnover to take possession with seven minutes left in the contest. But every time a Terrapin launched a shot, Imbesi was there. The junior goalie recorded six of her 13 saves in a four-minute span late in the period.

“The only thing I was thinking was the longer I could hold them from scoring, the more time ticked off the clock,” Imbesi said. “There was a moment of elation with a save, but I just had to get back into the mindset and get ready for them to come down again.”

Despite Duke only earning four controls to Maryland’s 18, it held the Terrapins to their most paltry home scoring output of the season. The Blue Devils cracked down on Maryland’s high-energy attack, as three of the Terrapins’ top offensive threats—Kelly Kasper, Dana Dobbie and Lauren Cohen—were held to one goal each.

“Maryland is so talented and somewhat unpredictable because they freelance a lot,” Kimel said. ‘You can’t just prepare for exactly what they’re going to do, just prepare for the tendencies. The girls did a greatjob of staying focused and really anticipating what Maryland was going to look for.”

Although Duke depended on its defense late in the game, it was the offense that sparked the team in the opening minutes of the match. After five minutes of

Danowski, finished with just one goal andll two assists. Nine other Blue Devils registered a point against the Buckeyes —proof that his | team truly does have a balanced attack.

“It makes us incredibly dangerous,” Crott) ; said. “All right, fine, try to shut down one guy, but we’ve got five other guys who are capable of stepping up. Pick your poison. We’re all starting to click and this is the time ofyear you want to do that. You want to be saving your best lacrosse for this upcoming weekend.”

In a rematch of last year’s tide game, the Blue Devils must defeat defending national champion Johns Hopkins in the semifinalbefore potentially meeting the winner of No. Tm Virginia and No. 3 Syracuse. Earlier this season, Duke handed the Blue Jays their worst loss in 20 years with a 17-6victory on April 5.

The Blue Devils said they are expecting a much different and much better Johns Hop kins squad. After all, the Blue Jays haven’t lost since their drubbing in Durham.

“It hasn’t really set in yet,” Grotty said.

“Afterwards in the locker room, people were saying, ‘We’re going back to the Final Four.’

It’s a* great feeling to get a second chance at what we couldn’t accomplish last year.” '

ElB, MARYLAND MAY 28.2005

Hopkins broke an 8-8 tie with 13:35 remaining in the fourth and held on the rest of the way to win the national title.

Freshman Zack Greer scored four goals to lift the Blue Devils to their first national championship appearance.

scoreless play, senior midfielder Allie Johnson found the back of the net off an assist from senior Jess Adam. Duke would add two more goals to extend its lead, as junior attacker Carolyn Davis and sophomore midfielder Lindsay Gilbride each scored unassisted to pull the Blue Devils ahead, 3-0.

Any notion of a Duke blowout, however, was soon erased after Maryland regrouped and responded with a four-goal run ofits own. The teams entered their locker rooms deadlocked at four.

Junior attacker Megan Del Monte led all scorers with two goals and two assists, including two points during the Blue Devils’ game-changing run late in the second half.

Now, Duke has another shot at reaching the national championship game that has eluded them for the past three seasons. The Blue Devils will face off with the Quakers at Johnny Unitas Stadium in Towson, Md. Penn knocked off Boston University 8-5 in the quarterfinal to reach the Final Four. The Quakers defeated threetime defending national champion Northwestern 11-7 April 27.

For her 13-saveeffort in Duke's 9-7 win over Maryland in the NCAA tournament, goalkeeper Kim Imbesi swept National Player ofthe Week honors.

W.GOLF from page 13 twice before it was finally postponed for the day.

At the first break, Duke went into the clubhouse at 16-over. After finishing its five holes in the high winds, Duke dropped seven strokes to finish the second day at 23-over.

The winds caused both suspensions, and only 13 of 24 teams finished their round.

“It was a heck of a windy day,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “What can you say? It was really, really tough conditions. I have to hand it to my team. They fought really hard and played in some tough stuff.”

Top-seeded golfer Amanda Blumenherst fired a l-under 71 to bring her to 1-over after two days. Blumenherst dropped two strokes in the last five holes.

She was followed on the dayby freshman Kim Donovan, who carded a 2-over 74 to bring her to 7-over for the two-day total. Senior Jennifer Pandolfi is 8-over, and junior Jennie Lee is 9-over.

The Blue Devils return to the links Thursday at 12:30 p.m.

kinks are worked out and the Blue Devils seem primed to reverse what she called

the dynasty-in-the-making this year.

In the spring season, Duke has managed to retain its No. 1 ranking despite winning just two tournaments, two fewer than its 2007 spring total. Still, Brooks was pleased with his team’s effort in the latter portion of the spring and has kept the Blue Devils on track by instilling some of the relaxed attitude ofanother particularly successful golfer with a mande of trophies: Jack Nicklaus.

“I tell them, ‘Stay patient. Stay focused. Get good rest. And keep it in perspective,’” Brooks said. “We’re doing a really cool thing, playing for a fourth.

But really all we’re doing is, we’re just playing g01f... We’re lucky to be able to play this beautiful game. We have to let the results unfold. It’s important that you don’t consider anything more important than it actually is.”

Blumenherst, for one, credits any sort of struggles to a series of tweaks to every player’s game. Now, almost all of the

“not-the-greatest spring.”

“We’re a developmental program,”

Brooks said. “This seems kind of crazy when you’re trying to win national championships, but I think you have to. You have to be progressing. You can talk psychology all you want, but there’s physics to the game. Great psychology will never overcome poor physics. We’re always making sure it’s going—not major things, but keeping it all going.”

The careful balance of psychology and physics will combust some teams in the NCAA Championship this week. But for one, it will define the recipe for glory.

And the three-time defending champions can only hope that the winning formula will result in an even bigger target when they walk off the 18th green for the last time this season.

Follow Duke in its questto make it four in a row with live updates from Albuquerque, NM dukechroniclesports. com

Spatola fills vacant spot Men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski appointed Chris Spatola, the head team manager and graduate assistant coach, as Duke’s director of basketball operations Tuesday.

Spatola came to Duke last season after serving five years in the United States Army, earning medals for performance in Operation Iraqi Freedom. From 1999 until 2002, he played point guard for the United States Military Academy, as Krzyzewski did under head coach Bobby Knight. Spatola finished as the school’s fifth-leading scorer with 1,543 points.

Before coaching in Durham and serving in the military, Spatola, Krzyzewski’s sonin-law, was the graduate assistant coach at Army the year after he graduated.

Spatola replaces former director of basketball operations Mike Schrage, who left to join the coaching staff of former associate head coach Johnny Dawkins at Stanford.

Former Blue Devil Chris Carrawell will take over as graduate assistant and head team manager. Carrawell, the 2002 ACC Player of the Year, was hired as the school’s athletics outreach coordinator in November.

year against Georgia Tech, in which the Blue Devils lost by one and two runs in the first two games and could not complete rallies.

One weekend later, Duke had then-No. 2 Miami on the ropes in extra innings before falling 7-5.

But the missed opportunity that came back to hurt the Blue Devils most came April 20 against Clemson. The teams split the first two games, and in the ninth inning of the rubber match, Duke had a commanding 6-2 lead. But thanks to a triple and a three-run, two-out home run, the Tigers pulled off a stunning rally and sent the game into extra innings.

Weather eventually ended the game in the 11th inning at a 6-6 tie.

The Blue Devils would probably like nothing more than to have that four-rdn lead back.

With the series winagainst the Hokies, Duke finished half a game behind Clemson—and had it managed to preserve that lead, it would have overtaken the Tigers for the eighth and final spot in the ACC tournament.

Despite the missed chances, however, the Blue Devils still managed to have one of their most successful seasons in program history. They finished the year with an unblemished 27-0 mark in non-conference play for the first time in program history and won an ACC series against a ranked opponent for the first time under McNally when they took two out of three games from Virginia.

Unlike last year, when Duke finished 3-8 to close out the year, it finished strong, going 8-4 over the final 12 games—although the Blue Devils were swept by Wake Forest in their penultimate conference series.

“To go from 15 wins to 27 to 37 and to win 10 conference games in the third season is a great sign of things to come,” McNally said. “We’re definitely disappointed we’re not playing the tournament, butfeel excited about what’s ahead.”

someone to be able to beat us in four singles matches, and [Cal] was able to do that,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said.

“We did not play as well as we would have liked, but Cal played really well.”

The Bears wasted little time evening the score of the match as Bojana Bubosic defeated Duke junior Jessi Robinson 6-1, 6-0.

The Blue Devils, however, erased the deficit quickly as Granson charged back to down her opponent 6-4, 7-5 in one the many tight matches of the day. Granson’s victory at fifth singles kept her undefeated in NCAA tournament play.

Continuing with the back-and-forth nature of the match, Cal posted the next victory to tie the match up at 2-2 when Nze lost a close match in the second-singles spot to Marina Cossou, 7-5, 7-6 (3). Nze’s doubles partner, No. 24 Zsilinska, countered with a commanding win in the No. 3 spot 6-1, 6-3.

After trading punches the whole match, Duke looked to steal the lead once and for all and take the match with one more victory. The Blue Devils thought they had grasped that opportunity when Mang rallied to win the second set ofher match, 6-4, after losing 6-1 in the first.

“When Melissa won the second set after losing the first set, I thought that that would give us some momentum,” Ashworth said. “I thought that was a big turning point emotionally for our team, too. And it was. We were not able to capitalize on it, but we were able to feed off of her winning the second set.”

But for the Blue Devils, the momentum and emotional high would both fade quickly as Mang lost the third set, 1-6, to even the match at three.

Then, it was the Golden Bears who took advantage of the momentum shift as Susie Babos put the final nail in Duke’s coffin by winning the top singles match against sophomore Tara Iyer 6-3, 7-6 (4).

Even though the team is done, the season did not finish last Thursday for four of the eight Blue Devils.

Zsilinszka beat Washington’s Venise Chan 6-2, 7-5 in the first round of the NCAA Championship Wednesday in Tulsa, Okla.

Zsilinszka turned a 3-2 advantage into a 6-2 win in the first set.

She then broke Chan’s serve at 5-5 in the second set and held her own serve to advance to play USC’s Lindsey Nelson Thursday at 1 p.m.

With the win, Zsilinszka improved to 39-5 on the year.

Fellow freshman Nze lost her first-round match to UCLA’s Andrea Remynse 6-3, 6-4 Duke’s top doubles team of Granson and Mang, seeded seventh in the tournament, open play Thursday at 3 p.m. against Marshall’sKellie Schmitt and Karolina Soon

and an unwieldy design can be.

In the event of a negotiation stalemate, student groups should be the ones to yield space—Campus Council successfully conducted business in Few Quadrangle this Spring, hundreds of yards from the West Campus Plaza. Realistically speaking, the average student might rarely set foot in the Office of Student Activities and Facilities over the course of his or her Duke career, but would haunt the booths of a new BC vendor just to break the monotony of dinner after dinner at The Loop.

With Lemon Grass out of the question, Wulforst has suggested that Panda Express may fill the void in student dining options instead. But much of the ap-

peal of Lemon Grass was that

it was a place where students could grab their food and go when necessary or stay and chat a while if they had the time. A food court-style vendor like Panda Express does not seem able to promise the same level of community that it seemed Lemon Grass could have offered.

Our appetites are whetted—we’re ready to for dining officials to pick a vendor, any vendor, and commit to bringing them to campus, even if there are roadblocks along the way. For too long, administrators have been volleying around ideas—a juice bar here, a coffee bar there, late night dining opeverywhere —rather tions than making actual decisions and serving up results.

Eroding the Dream

ontherecord

Est. 1905

last year seems to have foreshadowed the difficulties Wulforst would have nailing down a deal with Lemon Grass this Spring.

The presence of student groups in the Bryan Center will always make negotiations with vendors tricky. Student groups deserve a prominent space in the Bryan Center, and the ideal student center would achieve a balance between student offices and storefronts.

But the Bryan Center is a poor substitute for a student center—its design prevents it from properly meeting the needs of all students. We thus applaud the care administrators are taking in reworking Central Campus, because the Bryan Center has shown how problematic flawed blueprints

my last column I wrote that in the past 40 years Americans have watered down Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy—writing that we have reduced him from a courageous man who challenged the American status quo to “the guy who said ade a. sawyer T have a dream.’” maybe it's me In the weeks since, a controversy has arisen surrounding the monument that will bear his image due to it being—in the words of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts—“confrontational in character.”

The commission, whose approval is required for the project to go ahead, is urging Lei Yuan, the Chinese sculptor in charge of sculpting King’s image in China, to “rework” King’s image. They say Yixin’s rendition of King, which features him standing 28 feet tall with his arms folded, looming from a colossal block of granite, is too reminiscent of statues in totalitarian states, which Yuan once also sculpted. One commissioner says his mental image of King is one of “leaning forward in anticipation, holding his chin or raising his arm.” Admittedly this is a much less forceful pose, and it seems appropriate to honor the man who said ‘I have a dream....’

However, I’m not sure it captures the man who said, “...when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short ofvictory.” I’m not sure either, that it captures the man who said, “We mean business now, and we are determined to gain our rightful place in God’s world.”

I think that James Chaffers, one of the project’s artistic consultants, would agree. He stated a couple of weeks ago that he and his colleague who advised the American architectural firm that designed the monument view King “not as some pacifist, placid, kind of vanilla, but really a man of great conviction and strength.”

The revisionist history of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement contends however, that the length and breadth of a movement for social justice can be neatly summarized in the last third of one speech.

Even a cursory read of the “I Have a Dream” speech reveals that King was no milquetoast pacifist.

The same man who dreamed of his children holding hands with little white boys and girls also warned against taking the “luxury ofcodling 0r... the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.” The same man who longed to ‘let freedom ring’ wanted that the “whirlwinds of revolt [would] continue to shake the foundations of our nation.” This is what King did.

Above anything else he sought to reform (literally, I mean re-form) thefoundations ofAmerica, and the feet that he sought to do it without physical violence made him even more dangerous. He battled with the protectors of the American status quo on grounds where they were vulnerable. In Memphis in 1968 he reminded the

at the Mason Temple that Black Americans drew an annual income of more than $3O billion per year. In his words, “That’s power right there, if we know how to pool it” He went on to tell them to pull their money out of white institutionsand support blackowned banks and insurance companies.

That was far beyond sitting at the front of the bus or eating at a lunch counter. It was a consolidation of powerT It was, in fact, revolutionary, and it was what made him the type of man who was so threatening that Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover needed to have the FBI keep an eye on him. Let’s be honest. The FBI wouldn’tbother to surveil a gende doe or a dreamer. They went after him because he was*a lion among men who stood firm when America did its best to make him sit down.

The Washington Mall is full of confrontational figures. Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington (who, incidentally, has a giant phallic symbol in the middle of his own city—if you ask me, that’s pretty forceful) were revolutionaries of their times as well. Whether volunteering or responding to the urgency of the moment they challenged the status quo, and history remembers them as men who didjust that. Like these men, King’s memorial should embody his confrontational nature as an American visionary and leader.

When his life was cut short on April 4,1968, King’s struggle was not over. While he didn’t expect to see the dream fulfilled in his life, he saw what was in store for us. Unfortunately we have not We have not yet reached the Promised Land that Dr. King pointed us toward, and in the meantime we—as a country —have revised his vision to fit the status quo rather than reforming it In my opinion, had we fulfilled King’s vision, thousands would not have died due to the government’s ineptitude in New Orleans, New York policemen could not have murdered Sean Bell or Amadou Diallo with impunity, we wouldn’t settle for substandard education and violence in inner cities, we wouldn’tsit idly as thousands continue to die in Darfur, and we would do more to save the people ofZimbabwe from their government, which has been hijacked in their name. If the monument is to represent Dr. King appropriately, it must represent that in his life he confronted America with a harsh vision ofitself. To reffame him as simply a dreamerwould misappropriate his legacy for generations to come. Our challenge today is to remember King’s vision as it was rather than softening it to suit us. Metaphorically, to rework” his statue to paint him as anything less than confrontational represents another step toward eroding the dream.

Memorial Day outing Enjoy

your long weekend off, summer session students, and sleep late. Although Duke will cancel classes for Memorial Day this year (a first), there’s

nothing remotely patriotic scheduled on campus; Monday’s only events inkristin butler & clude a “Barkley L. Hendricks; Birth of the Cool” ed rickards show at the Nasher and pro bono publico “Literacy through Photography; An Exhibit of Pictures and Writing.”

Oh, if you’re an employee, there’s a seminar by the AIG insurance company, which wants your retirement money.

Indeed, it hardly seems possible that this level of neglect is would be tolerated at a place like Duke, which has so much to honor. Scores of our fellow alumni have given their lives for this country, and hundreds of proud veterans pass through the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (which is tied to our campus) each week.

To boot, we have an entire cadre of administrators who insist they care deeply about Duke’s fallen heroes.

That, we’ve discovered, is a conclusion unsupported by their actions.

Consider, for example, the sad state of our tribute to alumni killed in batde, which Kristin discussed in a column, “A Few Good Men,” last November.

The memorial we have now—a low stone wall sandwiched between the Chapel and Divinity School—stands in little more than an airshaft between tall buildings, with the Westbrook and Goodson additions looming over it.

When built decades ago, before the encroachment of the divinity school, the wall topped a grassy knoll bordered by tall pines, a hideaway where friends and family could find solace.

Finally dedicated in September 1993 in a ceremony that not even The Chronicle covered, the wall was designed to “bear the names of those students killed in WorldWar II and subsequent wars.” Today it still does not bear the name of a single soldierkilled in Korea, Vietnam or the GulfWars.

Moreover, in the 15 years since the wall’s dedication, Duke has re-sold Alumni Memorial Gymnasium, which honored fallen World War I soldiers, to new donors; it’s now named theKeith and Brenda Brodie Recreation CenJ

ter.

Right after Kristin’s November column, we confronted Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, whose responsibility encompasses buildings and grounds, about the neglect of veterans’ issues. With great economy of words and no indication of interest, Trask punted the inquiry to Executive Director of Alumni Affairs Sterly Wilder.

In December she told us, “We are in the process of working on this right now it is just in the beginning stages but more to follow in the next few weeks. Thanks for your interest.”

After contacting Wilder again last week, which is to say -

after five months, we’re unsure if anything has been accomplished. Wilder first said a “committee” was working on the memorial. Asked for details, she relabeled the effort to a “group.” Pressed for specifics about the group’s composition and selection, she refused to divulge members’ identities. Later, Executive Director ofAlumni and Development Communications Peter Vaughn clarified that “at least” two students had come forth and met with Wilder several times, but he, too, declined to reveal their identities until well after our deadline.

Meanwhile, Wilder insists she’s been busy with the Pentagon confirming identities of alums killed in battle.

However, she would tell us nothing about that process, not even the military office involved. And Vaughn, asked to tell us how many names have been confirmed by the Pentagon and how many remain pending, says he does not know if a single name has been submitted yet.

It would seem highly appropriate for President Brodhead to end the waffling forthwith and expand the “group” with people who care about the issue and whose work will be transparent why would their work necessarily be more transparent, just because they have stake in the matter?. Perhaps the family of Duke’s first Iraq casualty, Marine Ist Lt. Matt Lynch Trinity ‘Ol, who swam and played baseball. Or the family of Sgt. Jimmy Regan Trinity ’O2, the lacrosse player who joined the Army Rangers.

From the alumni we would suggest Gen. Walter Boomer Trinity ’6O, retired Commandant of the Marine Corps.

This is more than a theoretical issue for Ed. The Vietnam War took a classmate, next door neighbor in the dorms and eternal friend.

Charles G. Mason ’64, known as Buddy, was in Naval ROTC at Duke; he wore his uniform with pride at a time when many were growing wary of the military. At graduation he received a commission in the Marine Corps and was sent to the city ofHue in Vietnam. It’s hard to fathom Buddy amid the insane violence of war, transported from the grace of our campus to slogging in a jungle.

February 24, 1967. Fellow Marines in nearby Phu Bai village were pinned down by withering fire, taking heavy casualties. The weather hampered the flow of reinforcements and ammo, but First Lieutenant Mason tried to break through in a Medivac helicopter. To rescue the wounded. To retrieve the dead.

His copter took bullets in the fuselage, burst into flames and fell to earth in pieces. His remains are now at Arlington National Cemetery.

Buddy Mason’s survivors included his wife Lynelle and their 22-month-old daughter Lois. Six months after Buddy’s death, his wife gave birth to his son Charles.

Buddy Mason is just one of the sons of Duke who made the supreme sacrifice for our nation, heroes whom our University ignores this Memorial Day. Kristin Butler Trinity ’OB will attend Ohio State Law School.

Ed Rickards Trinity ’63 and Law ’66, is a former editor of The Chronicle and lives in New York City. They will collaborate on a weekly column starting in August.

lettertotheeditor As a graduate ofboth Duke University and North Carolina Central University, I was dismayed, disappointed, disheartened and frankly just dissed by Kristin Butler’s May 15 column, “Summa cum loony.” Judging an entire respected institution of higher education by the heavily media-filtered accounts of two individuals is not only unjust and unfair, but highly misleading. I personally owe a great debt to NCCU, a school that helped me complete graduate school while trying to raise a young daughter. That graduate degree propelled me into a successful career that brought me back to Duke in 2002 as its University Archivist. I am also pleased to say that my daughter has continued the family’s Duke-NCCU ties. She graduated from Duke in 2007 and taught in NCCU’s Durham Freedom School last summer.

I hope that neither Duke University or NCCU would be judged by the actions of isolated individuals, but rather by the collective whole of the wonderful accomplishments by their student body, faculty, and employees. I am proud to be both a Blue Devil and an Eagle.

Duke s Grand Tour

In

the late 1800s, young and wealthy European males left their families to travel around the world. With a tour guide and servants, they ventured to Paris, Geneva, Rome, and some traveled as far as Greece gain exposure to cultural antiquity.

These young men would 3nClro3 COT3VOS travel for a few months to a few years. After this educaguest COilitHH tional rite of passage, they would return home to resume their former line of work. This traditional upper-class trip was also known as the GrandTour.

Today’s students also experience a Grand Tour of sorts, as more students take a gap year. They travel to far away places, building homes in Africa or studying with a famous microfinancer in a foreign university. After the year is over, they return home to the US and start their “real” university life.

But gap years are expensive, and many spend half of the time working to finance their travel. The cost has discouraged many students from making the trip abroad, until now, with the advent of the Duke Engage program.

DukeEngage can appear similar to these types of trips with one significant difference: The trip is free. So is Duke footing the bill fgr a modernized Grand Tour?

A DukeEngage representative posed this question to Engagers during an orientation session. After the awkward silence, she asked us what we hoped to get out of the program.

People said things like “I wantto learn Spanish”; “I wantto experience another culture”; and “I want to work in entrepreneurship.” Interestingly, no one in our session said “I want to help people” (as an aside: she said our responses were unusual).

The Duke Engage volunteers and the people we are helping both hope to gain something significant from the experience. We shouldn’t expect the Duke Engage program to be a completely selfless experience, because if the Engagers got nothing from the program, it would be hard to motivate them to continue in this line of work.

After the mandatory eight week commitment, Engagers will have to decide what to do when they return. Many will probably resume their lives as pre-med, pre-law, or pre-investment banker. Perhaps the more passionate will take up ajob in public service. But will anyone return to their Duke Engage site?

Jobs in public policy and community service are generally low paying, and therefore, most students choose jobs outside of this realm after they graduate. Duke Engage, however, provides and opportunity for students to engage in their communities and not worry about money.

Duke Engage was a highly selective program this year, and most students that applied did not get to participate on the program. This means there is a desire to work in our communities, but money (or the lack thereof) is one factor holding us back.

The way I see it, Duke Engage now has two major obstacles to overcome: how to discourage students from using the program as a Grand Tour, and how to encourage long-term service after students'graduate.

The government is also working on a solution. The College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which President Bush signed into law in November 2007, encourages students to enter fields of public service by forgiving some of the outstanding school debt per student after 10 years.

The debtforgiveness could amount to tens of thousands of dollars per student, and it applies to all levels ofeducation, from college to public service lawyers. If policies like these continue, programs like Duke Engage are an effective way to get more students interested in this line of work.

My Duke Engage project starts next week in Guatemala, where I will be working with the Social Entrepreneurship Corps. My Tour Guides are two former Peace Corps workers, and instead of traveling to Paris to sip Evian, I will be in Antigua installing water purification systems.

Considering that I am allowed to bring only one camping backpack on the trip, and I’ll need to fill it with enough supplies and clothes for two months, I feel comfortable saying that my trip is not a GrandTour. And unlike a Grand Tourist, I hope my contributions to the country will remain long after I leave.

I still, however, have not been able to reconcile the other problem, and I imagine other Engagers haven’t either: After this summer, what would bring us back to our DukeEngage site, in a violent foreign country like Guatemala?

I expect it will probably come down to the relationships I make. If I keep in touch with the people, and I feel responsible for the project, I’ll be back.
