In the wake of Jesica Santillan’s mismatched organ transplant, Duke University Hospital implemented a series of safety measures targeted at the organ transplant procedure to ensure that such medical mishaps do not reoccur. In addition, the United Network for Organ Sharing, the national non-profit organization that coordinates the matching process between organ donors and recipients, reevaluated its matching system over the past year and has added additional checks to minimize the potential for incompatible transplants. Many of DUH’s changes for its organ transplant procedure, however, came into effect within a month of Santillan’s death on Feb. 21, 2003. “Basically, we implemented a large number of changes immediately so we weren’t reliant upon a third party to do the match,” said Chief of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Dr. Peter Smith, who led a multidisciplinary team that designed the new changes. The additional measures were a result of root cause analysis and process analysis conducted by the team, which included surgeons, nurses, transplant coordinators and administrators, among others. As were most hospitals, Smith added, at the time of the Santillan mishap, DUH was relying on the fact that a match precluded the organs being offered to an

Chronicle elects Hauptman as next editor From staff reports The editorial staff ofThe Chronicle has elected sophomore Karen Hauptman to serve as the newspaper’s editor for its 100th year of publication. At a meeting Friday afternoon, Hauptman, now one of the newspaper’s associate University editors and a wire editor, was named editor ofThe Chronicle and president of Duke Student Publishing Company, Inc., the independent corporation responsible for publishing the campus’ student-run daily newspaper. Hauptman will succeed senior Alex Garinger for a oneyear term beginning May 9, As editor, Hauptman will determine the newspaper’s content and lead a staff of more than 100 student volunteer reporters, editors, photographers and layout designers. Her responsibilities as DSPC president will include preserving the corporation’s dual mission of providing journalism opportunities for Duke students and delivering information to the community. In her speech, Hauptman offered the staff an agenda that included improving recruitment and training of reporters, streamlining the efficiency of the newspaper’s

production process and preparing for The Chronicle’s 100th anniversary. “Our 100th anniversary is a unique opportunity for The Chronicle to look back on our history and reestablish our relationship with our readers,” she said. “As we refine our standards of reporting, writing and production, we need to be constantly aware of our position as the primary forum for discussion and debate about news in the Duke community.” Hauptman said aggressive staff development would be crucial for the future of the newspaper. She said initial recruitment is only the first step in what should be a continual learning process for staff members. Training will continue, she said, through the editing process and with the help of internal and external leadership. During her term as an associate University editor, Hauptman worked alongside four other associate editors and two University editors to cover all aspects of campus affairs, focusing particularly on facilities and employees.

Israel to shorten West Bank barrier by

Josef Federman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Israel will change the route of its West Bank separation barrier to cause less hardship for the Palestinians and gain U.S. support against legal challenges, an adviser to Israel’s prime minister said Sunday. The barrier faces two court fights. Israel’s Supreme Court will hear petitions Monday from two civil rights groups, including a request to declare the barrier’s route illegal. Later this month, the world court in The Hague, Netherlands, will review the legality of the barrier. The U.N. General Assembly, with the backing of

JERUSALEM

the Palestinians, has asked the court for a nonbinding advisory opinion. Israel says the barrier is meant to block Palestinian suicide bombers, but Palestinians condemn it as a land grab. Israel has argued that the world court has no authority over the barrier dispute, saying it should be resolved through negotiations. Still, it is taking the case seriously. Many countries, including the United States, agree with Israel that the international court is not the proper venue for the case, but they object to the barrier’s planned route, which cuts into the West Bank in some places. Zalman Shoval, an adviser to Prime

Minister Ariel Sharon, said Israel is concerned the dispute could eventually reach the U.N. Security Council, where decisions are legally binding. The United States, which can veto •council resolutions, mayhelp protect Israel. “We want as much as possible to draw a line with the Americans,” he said. He said the changes would be presented to U.S. Mideast envoys expected to arrive in Israel this week. Paul Patin, spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, declined to comment on the possible changes in the barrier’s route. SEE BARRIER ON PAGE 5

U.S. discovers Saddam's $3OO million by

Dafna Linzer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The United States believes it has BERN, Switzerland found at least $3OO million Saddam Hussein hid in banks, yet does not have enough evidence to get countries such as Syria and Switzerland to hand over the money, U.S. and European officials told The Associated Press. The funds at stake could go to the Iraq insurgency or the country’s reconstruction—depending on who gets it first. What troubles investigators more is that much of Saddam’s cash may already be gone. The weak U.S. intelligence and the slow-moving investigation, now in its 11th month, have given suspects more than

enough time to empty accounts and possibly transfer some funds to Iraq’s insurgency, officials involved in the search said. Treasury investigators have been quick to identify leads in the hunt but have been scrambling to come up with solid evidence that could hold up in a court or get the approval of a U.N. sanctions committee. Much to the frustration of the George W. Bush administration,, countries that acted quickly on relatively weak evidence involving al-Qaeda funds have been unwilling to do the same on Iraq, partly due to growing doubts about the quality of U.S.

intelligence.

South Square finds Target by

Davis Ward

THE CHRONICLE

The end of the South Square mall’s 27-year life cycle in 2002 was unromantic and industrial, bringing death in the form of debris strewn about the 50-acre plot—now mosdy mud and ditches—that once anchored a commercial district in south Durham. But South Square will be reborn in the fall, this time as an outdoor collection of “big box” stores including Super Target and Sam’s Club instead of the old, indoor mall. There are already signs of life in the mud—cranes, bulldozers, piles of gravel and lengths of aluminum and PVC piping. Construction is underway, with Target set to be completed in March and Sam’s Club and the rest of the mall opening sometime in fall 2004. “It’ll be a huge improvement over a mall that was largely vacant,” said Henry Faison, chair and founder of Faison and Associates, a Charlotte-based real estate firm that owns the South Square property. “We think it’s a good future.” The old South Square, in its final years, was in the red, losing money and clientele. Gap, Eddie Bauer, Hudson Belk and other stores left South Square for the Streets at Southpoint when the mall opened, said Dick Hails, Durham city and county assistant planning director. When the Southpoint rezoning plan was approved by the Durham city council in 1999, city officials anticipated the eventual closing of South Square. “I’m sure when we opened, it affected everybody to a certain extent,” said JeffJohnson, retail marketing manager for Southpoint. He added that he did not anticipate competition from the new, big box-anchored South Square. “People that are shopping at Target or Sam’s [Club] are usually on a different kind of shopping trip than the mall,” he said. Ted Conner, vice president for economic development of the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, blamed South Square’s closing on slow reaction to changing market trends. “Some tenants needed much more modern amenities and aesthetics than South Square offered,” he said. ‘The developer of Southpoint showed tenants that they had a plan.... They got maybe a step ahead of the owners of South Square ma11.... The old mall wasn’t going to work in today’s marketplace.” Although some other city leaders do not blame South Square’s closing solely on the opening of Southpoint, most acknowledge that the competition it fostered played some role in the closing of the older mall. “South Square had its share of problems before Southpoint came along,” said John Best, a Durham city council member who voted for the Southpoint rezoning plan.

Fundraising does not end with campaign by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

Administrators across the University said developin January was strong, despite a spectacular sprint finish to the Campaign for Duke that could have exhausted fundraisers and donors alike. ‘The world out there thinks we pass a deadline and stop fundraising, but that’s not true,” said Dean of the Faculty ofArts and Sciences William Chafe, who helped Arts and Sciences and Trinity College raise nearly $4lB million during the campaign. “Even though the campaign is over, we actually continue to get significant gifts.” The Campaign for Duke brought in over $2.36 billion, the fifth-largest sum in American higher education history. Administrators had originally set their sights on $1.5 billion when the campaign took off in 1998, but raised the goal to $2 billion in 2000 and unofficially to $2.2 billion in 2003 when it became clear that greater ambitions were practicable. Each of the campaign’s 10 divisions surpassed its fundraising goal by the Dec. 31, 2003, deadline. “In terms of long-term trends, it’s too early to tell what post-campaign fundraising will be like, but things have not slacked off at all,” said Robert Shepard, vice president for development. At the Divinity School, fundraising has been going well since the campaign ended. Gaston Warner, director of development for the Divinity School, said a donor funded a scholarship Just last week and the school anticipates more significant gifts. ‘There’s excitement to being part of a campaign, to being a part of a big mission,” he said. “But people understand that there is still a big mission after the campaign stops.” Shepard noted that a number of January gifts were being negotiated before the Campaign for Duke ended. “We have been working with many donors over the years, and in at least some cases, the timing of the campaign didn’t necessarily mesh perfectly with the donors’ timing,” he said. “For whatever reason, some people could not make pledges in the last year of the campaign, but they’re coming through in 2004.” He added that the University’s continuing needs have fueled post-campaign fundraising. “By definition, a campaign has a beginning and an end, but the University’s ment

Construction continues on Target, Sam's Club and other new shops on thesite ofSouth Square Mall in south Durham. “But [Southpoint] was probably the final nail in the coffin for South Square mall.” While Best and other city officials anticipated the effect Southpoint would have on smaller malls, they also knew the value of the South Square property, an easily accessible location just off highway 15-501, surrounded by retail and shopping centers on all sides. “Such a valuable piece of land wouldn’t be empty for long,” Best said. “Now, we have Southpoint, obviously a mega-mall bringing in a substantial amount of property and sales tax revenues, and we have a Target and Sam’s [Club] and a few other retail stores coming in place of the old South Square.... I’m glad we have Southpoint here and also very glad the owners of South Square

Police battle rebels in Haiti by

Michael Norton

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GONATVES, Haiti Police reinforcements fought bloody battles with gunmen as they tried to retake Haiti’s fourth-largest city Saturday from rebels who seized it two days earlier in a challenge to President

Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

At least three police were killed, and crowds mutilated the corpses. One body was dragged through the street as a man swung at it with a machete. A woman cut off the officer’s ear. Another policeman was lynched and stripped to his shorts, and residents dropped a large rock on his corpse. Rebels said they killed 14 police officers, Haitian radio stations reported; but the claim could not be confirmed. The uprising appeared to be spreading. Armed Aristide opponents seized the police station in the west coast town ofSt. Marc Saturday, firing into the air and chasing police away, private Radio Kiskeya reported. Militants also have attacked police stations and forced out police in at least five small towns near Gonaives, Haitian radio reports said. Judge Walter Pierre told private Radio Ginen that armed men were occupying the police station in the town of Anse Rouge Saturday and had confiscated weapons. The rebellion had not yet reached Port-au-Prince, the capital, where throngs of government supporters marched Saturday to mark the third anniversary ofAristide’s second inauguration. Anger has been brewing in Haiti sinceAristide’s party swept flawed legislative elections in 2000. The opposition refuses to join in any new vote unless Aristide resigns, which he refuses to do before his term ends in 2006. At least 61 people have been killed in the Caribbean SEE HAITI ON PAGE 12

He said the United States has no problem with the concept of a security barrier, but Washington objects to its planned route because of disruptions it has caused to affected Palestinians. The barrier, which is about one-quarter built, reaches deep into the West Bank in some areas, restricting Palestinian movement and preventing residents from reaching jobs, farmland and social services. Shoval said the changes in the route would be around Qalqiliya, a West Bank town next to Israel. The town is largely encircled by the barrier. Israel wants to “make things as easy as possible for Palestinians who need to get to their fields [and] to have fewer checkpoints,” Shoval said. He said changes would be made around other Palestinian population centers, as well. He said this could include taking down or moving concrete barriers that have already been built.

MONEY from page 2 For months, Swiss officials have asked Washington to provide more information on an account belonging to a Panamanianregistered front company that U.S. officials believe is tied to the former Iraqi regime. The account contains the equivalent of $BO million and U.S. officials are still trying to gather enough information for the Swiss to act. Were the account held in a U.S. bank, federal authorities would not need any more evidence than they already have because the Patriot Act, passed after Sept. 11, 2001, gives them expanded powers of search and seizure. “We know a lot ofcountries cannot use intelligence information the way we can use it now after Sept. 11,” said Juan Zarate, the Treasury Department’s deputy assistant secretary for terrorist financing and financial crimes. “It’s not a complete hindrance but we have to provide the right information.” Swiss officials put a temporary hold on the Montana Management account but will not hand over the money to an Iraqi reconstruction fund, as the Bush administration wants, unless it gets more details—and none were forthcoming during a recent meeting between U.S. and Swiss treasury officials in Washington. Zarate told The Associated Press his office would target new individuals “in the next few weeks,” and submit the names to the U.N. sanctions committee, where approval is assured, giving European countries a legal basis to act. ‘The reality is, we want to be sure about cases when we go to the U.N. since we’re basically marking an individual or a company or an entity. We do have to present some sort of basis for it,” Zarate said. But he said, “when you work bilaterally, things don’t necessarily have to be that formal or that definitive.” So far, Zarate’s office has given' the United Nations the names of five Iraqi entities—the Central Bank of Iraq, Iraq Reinsurance Company, Rafidain Bank, Rasheed Bank and Iraqi Airways Company—plus the list of the 55 Most-Wanted Iraqis that the military presented as a deck of cards in the early days oflast year’s war. European and Middle Eastern officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they had peeked into accounts held by children of the 55 and found almost no money. Saddam’s daughters, who are living comfortably in Jordan, remain under scrutiny, officials said. The investigation relies solely on interrogations and information U.S. officials are getting in Iraq. Zarate would not say whether Saddam was cooperating.

Party The barrier had been expected to stretch about 450 miles. officials denied any wrongdoing.

No other countries have offered names the U.N. list. “The onus falls mosdy on us to produce lists and to produce leads,” Zarate said. The interagency investigation has been “overwhelmed” by documents and CD ROMs collected in Iraq, he said. So far, the amount of money identified by U.S. investigators is nowhere near prewar estimates of $4O billion stashed away by Saddam. “We don’t know where it is,” said Pierre de Bousquet de Florian, the head of France’s domestic intelligence agency. The largest sums uncovered so far are in Middle East banks. U.S. officials are hoping Syrian officials will be encouraged to hand over money once the Swiss do. But there are also concerns that pressuring the Syrians, without sufficient evidence, could hamper important cooperation on Iraq and the war on terrorism. In October, U.S. investigators went to the Syrian capital, Damascus, and Amman, Jordan, looking for hidden Iraqi accounts. Syria has frozen about $250 million but will not give the money to the Iraq fund because it cannot be sure it belonged to the regime. The Swiss face similar issues. In some cases, Swiss investigators have been unable to find evidence that would corroborate the information the United States has provided on accounts. In others, they are having trouble establishing whether a crime has been committed by bank clients. The largest accounts may already be emptied out, according to European, Middle Eastern and American officials. One Swiss official noted that in 1992, Libya managed to pull 425 million Swiss Francs —or about $3OO million then from Switzerland after it was given two weeks to cooperate with the United Nations or face sanctions for its role in the bombing of a Pan Am flight. For U.S. investigators tracing Saddam’s money, early efforts focused on retrieving close to $1 billion stolen from the Iraqi Central Bank, including money taken by Saddam’s sons. More than $lOO million is still missing and some is thought to be in the hands of insurgents. The interagency investigation, which includes Treasury, the FBI, the CIA and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is still tracing the serial numbers on $750,000 cash found in Saddam’s possession when he was captured nearly two months ago. Hundreds of millions of Iraqi dollars that were in accounts before the 1991 Gulf War are being turned over to the reconstruction fund. The United States also has asked countries owed money by Iraq to forgive the debt. to

himself from campus As Finance Chair of the Duke University Union, Collison has been spending his weeks raising money for the student group as it prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary. In many ways Collison is a paradox, having been both independent and greek and now as an active member of the campus community without being a student. But for this alumnus, Collison says “my work is not yet done.” Collison likes to put his actions where his words are. ‘The things I commit to do, I do them.” Examples of Collison's work abound at Duke—everything from the course evaluation website he helped organize as a freshman to the cultural showcase he planned his junioryear as Craven Quadrangle president. Norman Wallace, residential coordinator for Craven Quad, spoke highly of Collison’s presidency. “He was in a fraternity, and I worried that the fraternity issues would be on the forefront, but that wasn’t the case,” Wallace said. “He was very even-handed with all of the residents; he was very fair.” Looking forward, Collison said he is

been a dedicated reporter with boundless enthusiasm and many fresh ideas. As wire editor, she trained and managed a staff of between six and 10 associate wire editors and was responsible for the content and selection of wire articles. Wire articles are written by non-Chronicle staffers and usually report national and world news. Hauptman began her career at The Chronicle as a reporter for the University and city and state departments during the first semester of her freshman year. She also served as an associate wire editor during the second semester of her freshman year. One month after his February 2002 election, Garinger appointed Hauptman associate University editor and wire editor. Hailing from Bethesda, Md., Hauptman intends to major in political science. After graduation, she intends to pursue a career in journalism or law.

focused on the unique position the school currendy is in, as it will see new leadership, a new pool of funding from the recently completed Campaign for Duke and the redevelopment of several key areas ofcampus. “As the administration fundamentally changes, we need to remember that what decisions we make now affect students,” he said. “Duke is a 75-year-old project and has become one of the best places in the country. We’ve got all of the pieces of the puzzle and all of the resources.... Now you’ve just got to put it all together.” Collison said Central Campus’s redevelopment will be particularly important in tempering student life in the future, and is an issue to which the Board of Trustees should pay particular attention. “Central Campus could be a huge part of our social life on campus,” he said. “But even more than that, the pricing [of living on the redeveloped Central] is going to be more expensive. What is that going to do to students who [currently] choose that option because it's cheaper?” Collison said the University must also carefully consider the effect Duke's redevelopment will have on the community at

large. “Central Campus isn’t just a develop-

ment issue; it’s a Duke-Durham relations

issue,” he said. “Durham and Duke’s campus are going to be permeable. It now makes Duke a very legitimate part of the Durham community.” With the Campaign for Duke recendy completed, Collison said the influx of green will be key. He touched upon this topic in his young trustee application, saying he feels that certain academic departments on campus lack the resources to fulfill their potentials. He cited as an example the film department, which has promising intellectual resources but lacks a proper facility. “There is a disparity between where Duke wants to be and the resources provided to get there,” Collison said. Similarly, he sees the expansion of the Pratt School of Engineering —with new buildings and a soon-to-be expanded student body—as an issue to be dealt with carefully. “We need to make sure that Pratt students have their voices heard too,” he said. Collison said he is determined to fulfill a commitment he has made to himself about his time at the University—a commitment to leave a lasting impression on the school. “My motivation [to run for young trustee] is that I came into Duke, but I am not finished yet,” he said. “I’d like to leave Duke saying this is the footprint I left.”

Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE by

Saturday morning, on the practice fields behind Koskinen Stadium, the spring sports season officially began. There, the men’s lacrosse team started its spring schedule with six quarters of exhibition play. The team played four quarters against Salisbury University, followed by two quarters against Washington & Lee University. Although no official score was kept, the scrums provided head coach Mike Pressler with his first opportunity to see his team in a competitive setting. “We played fine overall,” Pressler said. “We’re just trying to find out what we can do, what we can’t do, who can do it, and who can’t.... But it was a fine day for Duke, and a beautiful day to play.” The Blue Devils have only had eleven practices this year, and their rustiness showed in the opening quarters of the Salisbury match “I just wanted our guys to play harder,” Pressler said. “Defensively we have to step it up a notch and our overall ground ball play will have to be tougher.” The scrimmage was also the first trial for Duke’s highly touted freshman class, whose performance Saturday gready impressed Pressler. ‘These freshmen have impressed me from day one,” Pressler said. “We played SEE

and non-conference foe Rutgers (7-4) Saturday. The Blue Devils (65, 2-0) topped Maryland 25-9 to remain perfect in the league, but fell to Rutgers 28-6. Duke faced the Terrapins in the day’s opening contest. The Blue Devils set the tone early and showed determination in winning the close matches. Of Duke’s eight individual match victories, six were by five points or less. “I knew it was going to come down to some key matches,” head coach Clar Anderson said. “We won all the close ones, which was nice to insure the win.” At 125 pounds, freshman Christian Smith defeated Maryland’s Matt PandullO 5-4. At 133, Blue Devil Adam Benitez continued his recent hot streak, winning his fourth straight match 5-2 over Mike Lupa. The two wins gave Duke an early 6-0 advantage. Maryland’s Jason Gribschaw defeated Daniel Schvartsman in the second overtime at 141, pulling Maryland to within three, but the Blue Devils would win the next six matches to take a com-

manding 25-3 lead with just one bout remaining. “We thought we could handle Maryland pretty well,” Benitez said. “We obviously had to lift up for the challenge but we did that very well.” Duke’s match against Rutgers showed the other side of the coin. This time the Blue Devils lost close matches at the beginning, falling too far behind to be able to catch up at the end. Benitez and senior captain Michael Mitchell were the only Blue Devils to win, and Rutgers ran away with a 28-6 victory. ‘This was a pretty unique situation for us because we had to wresde Maryland first, which was a big match for us, and then wait while Maryland and Rutgers wrestled before we went against Rutgers,” Anderson said. “There seemed to be less emotion and emphasis for that second match.” Only Virginia and N.C. State stand in the way of a perfect ACC season for the Blue Devils. Duke faces Virginia, its toughest remaining conference opponent, next Saturday. “It’s going to be closer this year than ever,” Anderson said. “Virginia is very strong at a few weights. If we can win the close matches and not give up the extra bonus points, I think we can beat them.”

SWIMMING] DOMINATING PERFORMANCE ON SENIOR DAY

UNC at tourney by

The men’s and women’s swimming and diving team (5-5) finished off their home season in style Saturday, as the Blue Devils decisively defeated the College of Charleston Cougars (3-7, 3-12). The Duke men earned a 133-78 victory, while the women won by a 160-73 margin. The Blue Devils drew their largest crowd of the year on Senior Day, and those who attended did not go home disappointed—Duke only failed to win one event the entire afternoon. “All of our seniors performed really well,” Duke assistant coach Lynzee Sharp said. ‘They had high hopes, high spirits, and they were just really excited, so they all swam well.”. Seniors Katie Fay and Amy Halligan both came away with wins in their final appearance at the Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion. Fay and Halligan won the 200 backstroke and 100 freestyle, respectively, much to the delight of the wellwishers who had gathered to witness their final dual meet. “It was pretty emotionalfor me,” fellow seniorLauren Handcock said, “It was nice to have most of the seniors’ parents here and have all our friends come and watch us swim. It was a really exciting meet—even though we won almost every event, it was still fun to watch people swim and seeing Katie Fay and Amy Halligan go out on top in their last college dual meet.” For some seniors, theemotion of Senior Day proved to be overwhelming. “I got really emotional, and I wasn’t really expecting that, it kind of caught me off guard,” seniorTrevor Yates said. “I think it actually had an adverse effect on my first race because I think I still had tears in my eyes.” For most seniors, however, the thrill of the moment contributed a very positive effect. In the case of senior diver Jeanne DeWitt, it motivated her to post a career best—a score of 254.48 in the

3-meter dive event. ‘Jeanne DeWitt was on fire today,” diving coach Andy Scott said. “I told her that she had worked very hard all year, and she deserved to dive well. She did, and it was the best meet of her career by far....lf I knew she was going to dive this well on Senior Day, I would have told her every day was Senior Day.” Many Duke swimmers swam events in which they would normally not compete, and in some cases it produced surprising effects. “We didn’t want to kill them; we mixed up the lineup justto get our kids into events they usually don’t swim,” Sharp said. “One of the highlights was Jason MacAfferty in the 200 back. He had never swum the 200 back before,

but he wound up winning the race.” Saturday’s meet came right in the middle of the Blue Devils’ taper period, when the swimmer will begin to rest in preparation for the ACC championships. Most Duke swimmers felt that the team will be in prime condition for the ACC’s, which will begin Wednesday for the Blue Devil women. “I think we’re exactly where we should be,” said Yates. “This is an awkward time for a meet, because we’re just starting our taper period, so we’re doing some things in practice that embodies aren’t used to, and it takes a little while to adjust. But we’re right on track for the end of our season.” What exactly can Duke fans expect over the next two weeks? “A lot offast times,” said Yates

Tenters in KrzyzeWskiville were woken up Friday and Saturday morning to the sound of foils, sabers, and epees clanking together inside Card Gymnasium. Duke’s men’s and women’s fencing teams hosted their annual dual meet tournament this past weekend, finishing third and second, respectively. Ohio State won the men’s competition and Temple edged out the Blue Devils for the women’s crown. The men finished 3-2 Friday to improve theirrecord on the season to 11-5. Duke won its first three matches of the day, defeating MIT 14-13, Johns Hopkins 21-6 and North Carolina 17-10. The team performed particularly well in the foil, where it amassed 27 victories throughout the tournament to finish second in the event behind Ohio State. Freshman Benjamin Hendricks completed the tournament with a 14-1 record in the foil. Against the Tar Heels, the Blue Devils’ epee team finished with a 7-2 edge. Junior Nathan Bragg posted a 3-0 record against UNC to lead the way and improved to 44-4 on the season.ln its other two matches, Duke lost to the Buckeyes 17-10, and narrowly to Brandeis 14-13. Saturday, the women fought to a 3-2 record, and placed second in the overall team competition, accumulating 75 victories to Temple’s 81. They also captured the epee title and finished third in saber. “The team did very well,” head coach Alex Beguinet said. ‘They were a strong cohesive team.” The Duke women (9-7) won their first two matches by beating MIT, 16-11, and Johns Hopkins, 21-6. The epee squad enjoyed success all day. Freshman Anne Kercsmar, who posted a 15-0 record, led her teammates Jaimie West and Dorothy Hubbard to 31 victories, four more than second-place North Carolina. “I felt pretty good the whole weekend,” Kercsmar said. “It really helped to be home and that gave me a sense of comfort. I’ve been having some ups and downs, and this weekend I was a little more consistent with my fencing.” Ibtihaj Muhammad also had an undefeated record of 15-0 for the tournament in the saber event. The saber team had 25 victories and finished just one shy of event-winners Brandeis and North Carolina. . “Had we won one more bout we could have taken first place [in saber],” Muhammad said. “We definitely fenced really well on Saturday.” Duke lost its matches with the Tar Heels 15-12 and Temple 16-11, but rebounded to beat Brandeis in the final round of the tournament, 15-12. •

MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

Senior Chris Duhon struggled from the field, shooting only 1 -for-5 en route totwo points. But Duhon's leadership was once again instrumental in Duke's 38th consecutive home win.The guard has been a part of the entire streak.

With six high school All-Americans on its squad from all five positions, the men’s basketball team comes at opponents at every angle. But with 1:52 left in the first half, the less-renowned Clemson Tigers (9-11, 2-7 in the ACC) were matching Duke’s talent, tying the score at 27 after a three-pointer from Raleigh native Shawan Robinson. Undeterred, the Blue Devils (20-1, 9-0) quickly countered with a three-pointer from JJ. Redick and an old-fashioned three-point play performed by Shelden Williams. But Duke put the dagger in Clemson’s bid for two consecutive triangle area upsets by coming from yet another angle. After a Williams rebound with nine seconds left in the half, savvy Chicago native Sean Dockery raced the ball up the court and swung the pumpkin to a squared-up Lee Melchionni. Just as the southpaw finished his follow-through 19-feet, 9-inches away from the hoop, the former walk-on was averaging 1.7 points per game and shooting 35 percent from behind the threepoint line. After his shot splashed through the net, Duke held its greatest lead (nine) up to that point, and Clemson would never see another single-digit deficit

“I come in ready to shoot,” Melchionsaid. ni “If I get an open look, I’m not afraid to take it.” Duke bred off the momentum from Melchionni’s three-pointer in the second half, increasing its lead to 15 after two Redick free throws with 16:15 left in the game, leading to the Blue Devils’ 81-55 victory. Redick and Luol Deng guided the nation’s top team, scoring 23 and 22

points, respectively.

“Duke is relendess,” first-year Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell said. “[The score was] 27-27 with a minute and a half to go in the first half, and that was a disastrous point for us. The last few minutes of the first half, the first two minutes of the second half really was the ball game in terms of them getting a working margin.” Deng carried the Blue Devils during its slow start, scoring 13 of Duke’s first 27 points. The freshman has led Duke with an average of 20.3 points per game over the last three contests after not scoring in double figures in consecutive games for the first time in his career. “Luol is playing great basketball,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I don't think there's any freshman playing any better on a winning team in the country.” SEE TIGERS ON PAGE

Some good, some bad in 38th straight win in Cameron It seems the referees were practicing last night, and a basketball game broke out. Well, let’s just say a basketball game at least died to break out. Personal fouls—with one technical on the side—were the meal du jour during Duke’s 81-55 win over Clemson, as the fans were treated to a somewhat sloppy ACC contest and a referee’s whistle-fest—The refs blew them 49 times for personal fouls before the shrills were silenced. For the Blue Devils, still the No. 1-ranked team in the country and still undefeated in conference play (9-0), there were some parts of the game to be proud of, but there were some negatives, too. As Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell repeatedly said after the game, Duke should be praised for its play on “either side of the halves”. Beginning with JJ. Redick’s three-

pointer and Shelden Williams’ tip-in and subsequent three-point play after a teammate’s

The night wasn’t all roses, however. Somehow, in a game with 49 personal fouls missed free-throw with 18 seconds left in the called—that’s more than one per minute first half, the Blue Devils did a great job disthe Blue Devils couldn’t get Chris Hobbs, the tancing themselves from the Tigers after a player defending Williams all game, to comless-than-ideal opening 18 minutes of play. mit his fourth foul despite Hobbs picking up Duke ran out of the locker room and conhis third personal with less than five minutes tinued the surge, and around the 16-minute to go in the first half.

have been for Duke to feed Williams the ball and draw a foul on Hobbs? The checklist also looks to what happens after Duke makes that second-half opening surge. Does Duke lets the other team grind away at the lead, or do the Blue Devils maintain their intensity and end up winning via blowout. (It’s assumed regardless that the opponent will make one big run at some point in the second half which will have be withstood.) In the NCAA tournament, leads have to be treated like gold. They must be protected. Just ask the 1997-98 squad that blew a 17point lead to Kentucky in the Elite Eight. Tonight, Duke did a little of both; they exploded the lead to 16, let Clemson chip it to 10, and then brought it to 20 and coasted from there. “Shawan was hitting huge shots for then, and we were having trouble stopping their post,” said Duke forward Shavlik Randolph in explaining the Tiger’s mini-comeback. “We played hard, I just think for a little stanza we may have taken it too lightly.”

Currie tied a Duke team record with 12 assists and Vicki Krapohl scored 18 points on six three-pointers as the Blue Devils rebounded from their loss against the Seminoles with an 81-41 rout against Georgia Tech. “I think we all just needed to take a good, long look in the mirror, and we talked abouthow we all needed to grow up and take responsibility for what was going on on the court,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We watched videotape of the FSU game, and we saw that our defense was not anywhere near where it’s been, not just this season but for several seasons, and we just talked about what each individual needed to do for us to be successful and go to another level.” The Blue Devils (18-3, 9-1 in the ACC) suffocated the Yellow Jackets early with stifling defense, forcing six turnovers on Georgia Tech’s first seven possessions. Alison Bales’ consecutive buckets pushed the early Duke lead to 23-2, and the Blue Devils never looked back. ‘They were in the passing lanes, denying every entry pass” Georgia Tech head coach MaChelle Joseph said of Duke’s defense. “I thought Duke was very aggressive.

Known for her scoring abilities, Monique Currie switched roles with Vicki Krapohl and handed out 12 assists.

If there was ever a game to avenge a loss, it was Saturday’s women’s basketball game versus Georgia Tech. After losing to Florida State last Wednesday, in a game that capped off a period of Duke not playing like the No. 2 team in the nation, the Blue Devils needed to reevaluate each player’s role, according to head coach Gail Goestenkors. ‘We all just needed to take a good long look in the mirror,” Goestenkors said. “We all needed to grow up and take responsibility for what was going on on the court.. We just talked about what each individual needed to do for us to be successful and go to another level.” It was distribution of labor in away, with each player stepping up in her own way—a big way. Without kiss Tillis, who suffered a concussion in last Sunday’s game against Clemson, the Blue Devils were forced to delegate responsibility and, with four players scoring in double digits, the team certainly did so.

Duke all it can be in opener vs. Navy by

Sarah Kwak

THE CHRONICLE

Auspiciously opening its season with a couple of games against Navy, the baseball team showed all signs of moving out of last

season’s basement. The Blue Devils cruised by the Midshipmen 8-1 and 15-3 Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Senior pitcher Zach Schreiber started on the mound for the Blue Devils Saturday afternoon. He allowed only two hits in four scoreless innings. He and three other Blue Devil pitchers combined for six hits and one run in the team’s winning effort. “Our strength right now is our pitching, Duke head coach Bill Hillier said. “We’re healthy. We have more experience on the hill and on the field and now they expect to win. From top to bottom right now, our pitching is pretty good.” Offensively, Bryan Smith began a fourthinning rally when he tripled to right center, scoring Mike Miello, who singled to start the inning. Smith, who went 3-for-4 with an RBI, then scored off a single from Adam Loftin. John Berger and Jonathan Anderson also collected RBIs in the fourth inning as the Blue Devils scored four runs offfive hits. In the sixth inning, Duke’s Javier Socorro and Brian Hernandez scored off a throwing error by Navy shortstop Dominic Lopez. Adam Murray scored to add another run in the sixth. In the seventh inning, Hernandez collected an RBI, batting in Michael Golom to round out the Blue Devils’ scoring with eight runs. Navy scored its sole run in the eighth inning when Craig Candeto singled to left, driving in Pete Cumowffom second base. However, Duke pitcher Kevin Thompson struck out the next two batters to end the inning for the Midshipmen. Sunday’s game was yet another dominating win for the Blue Devils. Tim Layden started the game and allowed one earned run in three innings. At the plate, Layden went 3for-4 and batted in five ofDuke’s 15 runs. “Right now, I feel pretty Comfortable at the plate,” Layden said. “My swing feels

good. I feel like I’m getting good contact and I’m trying not to do too much, just get my hands through it.” In the fourth, Layden was relieved by freshman Danny Otero. Otero pitched three scoreless innings and struck out three batters. In the fourth, the Midshipmen posed a threat by loading the bases, but Otero remained collected, getting out of the jam with a strikeout and ground out to retire Navy. “I put myself in [the jam], so I felt like I had to get myself out of it,” Otero said. “I just had to do what I had to do to get out of that [situation], and thankfully, I did.” The Blue Devils had two strong six-run innings in the first and fifth. In the first inning, Anderson began the inning with a double to center. Layden, Smith, Loftin and Berger all collected RBIs as Duke had six hits to begin the game. Later in the fourth, Layden collected two more RBIs and scored to bring the Blue Devils ahead by seven runs. In the fifth inning, Duke bring another six runs on the board. Socorro scored Golom and Hernandez on a double to center field, and Layden collected two more RBIs in the fifth. With such solid and consistent hitting, Duke has been able to capitalize on scoring opportunities well. “I’d like to compliment Coach Yurkow, my hitting coach,” Hillier said. ‘We had 29 hits in two days and back-to-back wins. We’ve done a great job on the bases being aggressive and putting ourselves in a situation where we can score on a base hit. And we’ve done a good job of driving in runners. We’ve done a good job in our situational hitting.” Overall, the added experience of the talented sophomores, which Hillier called his best recruiting class in November 2001, has brought a better attitude and more strength to the field. “Everybody’s a lot more confident,” Layden said. “Everybody’s just having a lot more fun. The guys are smiling and laughing and joking. I think that’s the biggest thing that’s going to help us—the ability to come out and be confident, have a lot offun and enjoy playing the game.”

Track marks successful weekend

,

From staff reports This weekend, the men’s tennis team traveled to Seatde to compete in the ITA National Indoor Championships. The squad, ranked eighth nationally, opened the weekend with an encouraging victory against No. 9 Texas A&M before being squeezed out by top-seeded and defending national champion Illinois by a score of 4-3. In Saturday’s consolation play, the Blue Devils trounced fourth-ranked Vanderbilt to bring Duke’s record to 5-1. The first match’s greatest highlight for Duke was No. 1 singles, when All-American Phillip King defeated his Aggie opponent, Lester Cook, in straight sets. Fourth for the Blue Devils, Jason Zimmerman earned a three-set win, while Peter Rodrigues won in straight sets in the No. 6 spot to bring Duke a 4-1 win. During the match against Illinois, Duke lost the doubles point, and the top-three of King, Ludovic Walter and Jonathan Stokke fell in straight sets. The bright spot for Duke was the play of the lower-ranked players like Rodrigues and Zimmerman, who both won in consecutive sets. The consolation play saw three-setwins by Walterand King, as well as another straight-set victory for Rodrigues. Duke earned the doubles point, leading to a heartening 4-1 victory. The Blue Devils will get another shot versus Illinois Saturday at home, when the top-ranked Illini defend their ranking at 6 pm.

The track team represented Duke at three locations across the country over the weekend, as its athletes continued to shine with first-rate individual performances. To start the weekend, a handful of runners traveled to Madison Square Garden in New York for the oldest indoor track invitational, the Millrose Games. Sophomore Shannon Rowbury had a impressive showing, placing second in the 1000-yard run with a time of 2:36.60. The men’s 4xBoo team of Steve Craig, lan Cronin, Jon Amt and Nick Schneider placed fourth in a field of top-competitors with a time of 7:46.28. “The [4xBoo] race had some very good competition and we received great exposure in front of the 14,000 spectators,” head coach

Norm Ogilvie said. “We took the lead late in the race, but were outkicked at the finish.” The majority of the team did not have to travel far, as it again turned in solid performances at the familiar track in Chapel Hill for the Carolina Classic. Senior standout Brent Warner once again set a school record in the pole vault, finishing second in the meet with 170.75. ‘The fact that Brent is consistent only being iry one height away [from the NCAA provisional qualifying height] is a good sign,” Ogilvie said. Also at Carolina, freshman Debra Vento beat her Duke record in the high jump, placing first in the meet with a provisional NCAA qualifying height of 5-10.75. Laura

Chen vaulted a personal-record 125.5 and Tiara Moore triple jumped 36-4.75, each earning the secondplace spot on the Duke all-time list in their respective events. Three Blue Devil freshmen traveled to Indianapolis for the USATF Junior National Cross Country Championships. Competing against the top 19-and-under talent in the country including high schoolers and collegiate freshman, Elle Pishny finished the 6k course in 22:03. Pishny’s performance was good enough to earn herself a lOth-place finish and a spot as an alternate on the national team to compete in the World Championships this May in Brussels, Belgium. Keith Krieger and Alex Romero competed in the men’s Bk, placing 23rd and 34th, respectively. “This weekend there were some nice alterations to the all time list. We’re very, very pleased,” Ogilvie said.

sity and a lot more passion.” Krapohl’s hot shooting, Currie’s passing and Duke’s intensity on both ends of the court also helped make the difference. Krapohl’s six threes were one shy of a school record, and the Blue Devils held the Yellow Jackets to under 30 percent shooting for the game. “We all just took a look at ourselves and said, ‘What can I do to make this team better?’ Maybe it’s not scoring, maybe it’s getting a stop, maybe it’s defense, and I think we all did that today” Krapohl said of her team’s effort. ‘We all performed our role, and it made everyone else look better.” The Yellow jackets, who have not beaten Duke since 1994, appeared overwhelmed at the game’s outset, committing 19 firsthalf turnovers as Duke built an insurmountable 49-16 lead. Preseason all-ACC selection Fallon Stokes notched 15 points and eight rebounds for Georgia Tech, which fell to 2-8 in the ACC and 11-11 on the season. “It was very difficult [trying to match their intensity] point guard Alex Stewart said. “We were not only trying to match their intensity, but we were just trying to execute offensively on our own, and when we were not succeeding in that, it carried over to bringing us down a little bit.” The second half was closer, but the damage had already been done. The Blue Devils pushed the lead to 40 on a Jessica Foley three-pointer with 13:49 left in the game, a play on which Currie made her record-tying 12th assist. “That’s what great players do,” Joseph said of Currie’s performance. “Great players make plays, and when their shot’s off, they find a different way to contribute to their team, and that’s what she did.” The victory pushed Duke to 9-1 in the ACC and made an emphatic statement after stumbling against Florida State last ”

Wednesday.

‘We took a look at our last game and saw that we needed to put a lot more effort, a lot more passion, a lot more hustle into every play and on every possession,” Currie said. “I just think that carried over into today’s game and we just wanted to not play down to the competition’s level, but to play on our level.”

for her 18 points. The strong shooting continuedwith Alana Beard’s 15 points, Brittany Hunter’s 14, and Jessica Foley’s 11. With Krapohl controlling the threepoint range, Hunter dominated inside scoring, also leading the team in rebounds with nine. Despite finishing the first half with no points, Monique Currie led the team with 11 assists at the half, one short of the record that she tied in the second half with an assist to Foley for one of the Australian native’s three three-point shots. While Duke did cool down in the

a lot of them yesterday...those freshmen are going to have to go through their growing pains quickly here, because we’re counting on them.” Senior attacker Chris Haunss emphasized the need for the freshmen to start the season strong. “I think a lot ofyoung guys will be playing big roles for us this year, and

TIGERS from page 4 The No. 1 Blue Devils blamed their flat start against last-place Clemson on their emotional 83-81 overtime win over archrival North Carolina Thursday night. “Coming off a big win like that you try not to relax coming in against Clemson,” junior Daniel Ewing said. “For the most part, we didn’t start the game the way we should. There wasn’t

enough energy.” After leading comfortably by scoring the last nine points of the first half and the first five points of the second, Duke briefly allowed the Tigers, who were led by Sharrod Ford’s 19 points, back in the game when Christ Hobbs converted a lay

second half, its initial strength was enough to silence any possible effort that Georgia Tech could muster up. “They came out, obviously, off that loss against FSU with a lot more intensity and a lot more passion,” Georgia Tech head coach MaChelleJoseph said. “It seemed like we were on our heels in the first half and not on our toes; we weren’t aggressive in the first half.” Unfortunately for Georgia Tech, Duke came out with a passion and drive that could not be matched by the low Jackets, or most teams in the nation for that matter. Duke’s intensity was so strong that it would have made a huge difference in an evenly matched game. However, add a lopsided talent pool, and Duke came out with a 40-point win.

they’re going to be asked to step up early,” Haunss said. “So far they’ve been doing a great job ofit” Freshman attacker Matt Danowski, who finished the day with five total goals, expressed his momentous start in modest terms. “It was exciting to play so well as a team for the first time against real competition, and it felt great just being out on the field again,” Danowski said.

Just as soon as Clemson made the game interesting once again, Redick went on a massive scoring spurt. The sophomore scored 13 points in the next six minutes to give Duke a 21point lead with 2:52 remaining. Though the Blue Devils’ 38th consecutive home win qualified for a sell-out, empty seats pervaded the gymnasium famous for its raucous chanting. “We have to get rejuvenated and we hope Cameron can help rejuvenate us,” Krzyzewski said. “I can tell you what—the last two places we played in were a heck of a lot louder than our place tonight because they wanted to beat us badly. How can we have empty seats in Cameron? With the No. 1 team in the country after just winning one of the most unbelievable games. That's disappointing.”

What is a medical technologist anyway? A degree in Medical Technology is a 4 or 5 year degree including a 12-month hospital rotation for clinical training. The courses in the Medical Technology curriculum are biology and chemistry-focused with courses ranging from genetics to pathophysiology. Medical Technologists are accredited by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) after successfully passing the National Boards.

DEVELOPMENT fmm ,w,p 3 needs and priorities continue beyond that,” he said. ‘Tor example, the need for endowment for financial aid: Even though we met the campaign’s goal, it does not complete the need.” Shepard noted that there were also a number of projects that came online toward the end of the campaign, including several building projects that were initiated in the last couple of years, for which fundraising is still necessary. Warner said the biggest challenge of post-campaign fundraising is making sure potential donors do not think Divinity, which raised over $lO2 million during the Campaign for Duke, already has all the resources it needs. ‘We don’t want people to get an idea that we’ve put all this money in a bank vault somewhere,” Warner said. “In reality, it’s already been put to really great uses, and was able to start programs that now need to be continued. So in a lot of ways it’s important that we keep going.” To combat notions that the Divinity School does not need more money, Warner said, the school has made a list of the differences future gifts can make. ‘We demonstrate the power behind the money,” he said. Thomas Hadzor, associate dean of external relations at the School of Law, said new initiatives are also coming online constantly, furthering the need for more resources. The School ofLaw raised over $67 million during the campaign. “For the law school and probably many other areas, there is no lack of new ideas and new initiatives, which harkens back to a great Terry Sanford quote about outrageous ambition,” Hadzor said. ‘These ambitions obviously generate needs for resources.” In some cases, the Campaign for Duke’s success, rather than creating a sense that fundraising should be on a hiatus, has actually been instrumental in piquing donors’ interest.

“The momentum in December was phenomenal—like nothing I have ever experienced before—and it hasn’t abated,” said Peggy Glenn, associate dean of external affairs at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. The Nicholas School was arguably the biggest winner in the campaign, raising over $137 million, or 229 percent of its goal, and securing a $72 million gift from campaign co-chairs Peter and Ginny Nicholas Dec. 31. Glenn said the Nicholases’ gift has galvanized interest in the school. Susan Ross, director of development for Athletics, said the Campaign for Duke gave higher visibility to her department’s goals—a bonus she hopes will continue throughout the year. “It was good for Athletics to be part of the campaign because there was recognition that what people gave to Athletics was valued by the whole University,” she said. Fundraisers secured over $152 million for intercollegiate athletics during the campaign. Ross said Athletics is currently working on its own mini-campaigns for each of its capital projects, including a $5 million campaign for women’s athletic scholarships and a $6 million campaign for a new golf facility. “We’re going to continue to try to meet the needs that the coaches and athletics director have established,” Ross said. “I don’t foresee a day when we’ll say it’s all done.” Chafe said Arts and Sciences is currently seeking and securing more money for a number ofinitiatives, including faculty support, financial aid and the FOCUS program. In addition to lauding the campaign’s momentum, which has carried over for the divisions’ individual fundraising efforts, administrators hope the trans-division unity established during the campaign will endure. ‘We’re trying to make sure that our efforts don’t fragment, that we still have what we call the ‘Big D’ here,” Shepard said. ‘We’ve lost the umbrella of the campaign, but the cooperation that has been put in place continues.”

Jack Layton was bom in Montreal, Quebec in 1950. He received his Bachelors degree from McGill University and his Masters degree and PhD from York University. His doctoral thesis concerned attempts by countries to control multinational capital flows. Layton became a professor at Ryerson University in 1974 and has taught at all three of Toronto’s Universities. Jack Layton was elected to Toronto City Council in 1982 and subsequently served as the President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. He was elected leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada in January 2003. The New Democratic Party (NDP) was founded in 1961 by the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and Canadian Labor Congress (CLC). The CCF itself was founded in 1933. During its relatively short history, the NDP has held as many as 43 seats in the Canadian House of Commons, and formed provincial governments in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

Duke University Health System is in the process of finding a Patient Safety Officer, a newly created position that would have oversight across the entire organization. Furthermore, DUH and DUHS are constantly working on improving and deploying various information technology systems, such as eßrowser, a common database able to be accessed by a large host of hospital and outpatient clinic staff, and the Computerized Physician Order Entry system, which will replace handwritten prescriptions when it is implemented this spring. Fulkerson also pointed to the need to emphasize a culture that “embraces safety” and said his role was to promote such a culture and encourage hospital staff to report all possible sources of error. “We’re going to fix the things that are broken and fix them for the last time,” he said. rent

Duke Conservative Union AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT NAN KEOHANE: "My message is straightforward: Diversity is an important value that must be nurtured and used in higher education." -Nan Keohane, November 1997 "...people leam better when they are challenged by things that they don't expect, when they do not have all their prejudices and assumptions confirmed, but instead have some of their ideas shaken up as part of an education." -Nan Keohane, February 2003 Dear President Keohane:

According to your own words, "diversity" is of premium import to an individual's education. You also claim that "diversity" does not only pertain to race; rather, intellectual diversity is a key element of any learning environment. We would hope, then, that your earnest regard for "diversity" would be apparent on your own campus. This does not, however, appear to be the case. The following information regarding the politcal party registrations of Duke faculty members might be of interest in your pursuit of your noble goal of "diversity":

DEANS OF DUKE UNIVERSITY: 9 Democrats; 0 Unaffiliated; 1 Republican

DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY: 14 Democrats; 1 Unaffiliated; 0 Republicans DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: 11 Democrats; 2 Unaffiliated; 0 Republicans DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH: 18 Democrats; 1 Unaffiliated; 1 Republican DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY: 32 Democrats; 4 Unaffiliated; 0 Republicans DEPARTMENT OF LITERATURE: 11 Democrats; 2 Unaffiliated; 0 Republicans DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY: 12 Democrats; 3 Unaffiliated; 0 Republicans DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE: 26 Democrats; 1 Unaffiliated; 6 Republicans DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY: 9 Democrats; 4 Unaffiliated; 0 Republicans* Since many of the departments listed above have become increasingly politicized over the past few decades, it is disingenuous to argue that the marked disparaties found in the data do not have a significant impact on the daily workings of their faculty members. Our question is straightforward: Is this "diversity"?

Is this the best way to challenge the "prejudices and assumptions" students maintain when they enter college? Or is your notion of "diversity" tantamount to a smokescreen for ideological conformity? As you yourself are a registered Democrat, perhaps you are not truly interested in challenging your own "prejudices and assumptions." We at the Duke Conservative Union, however, are gravely concerned about the lack of intellectual diversity on our campus and hope that these findings serve as a somberreminder that Duke is not nearly as "diverse" as some might imagine.

Cordially, The Duke Conservative Union Executive Board

HAITI from page 4

country since mid-September in clashes between police, government opponents and Aristide supporters. An armed group known as the Gonaives Resistance Front drove police from Gonaives’ police station during a five-hour gunbattle Thursday, then torched the station and other buildings. At least seven people were killed and 20 injured. About 150 police re-entered Gonaives Saturday morning, ignoring a hail of rocks from protesters and waging gunballles with armed rebels who hid on side streets and crouched in doorways. “I’m not a terrorist. I am fighdng for the Haitian people,” militant leader Wilfort Ferdinand, 27, said from a second-floor balcony, holding an M-16 rifle. It was unclear how many gunmen were fighting, but Friday thousands of protesters marched outside Gonaives, vowing to repel any attempt to retake the city, which with its suburbs encompasses about 200,000 people. One bystander was wounded in the face by a police bullet, and he gushed blood on a hospital gurney while

awaiting treatment. Some gunmen wore the camouflage pants of Haiti’s disbanded army, which Aristide eliminated in 1995. “I am ready to lay down my weapons as soon as Aristide leaves. Gonaives today is in the hands of the Resistance,” Ferdinand said. “We are few in number but we have the support of the people.” The group is not asking for money or weapons, only international help in removing Aristide, he said. Ferdinand, known by the nickname Ti-Wil, said Aristide once gave his group weapons to crush the opposition. The Gonaives Resistance Front used to be allied with Aristide. But the gang turned against Aristide last year and changed its name from the “Cannibal Army,” accusing the government of killing its leader Amiot Metayer to keep him from releasing damaging information about Aristide. The government denies it. The U.S. Embassy issued a statement Friday saying it “categorically rejects all violence.” A number of people in Gonaives, meanwhile, said they support the militants. Some formed neighborhood committees to aid the militants and questioned visitors. “We have placed our trust in the Gonaives Resistance Front. If the police counterattack, they’ll be met with stiff resistance,” said Jean Roland, 23. Police set up a headquarters in a school and returned to the police station where looters took guns Friday. The gunmen attacked symbols of Aristide’s authority Thursday, freeing prisoners and burning the mayor’s home, businesses he owned and another office in Gonaives, 70 miles northwest ofPort-au-Prince. The army ousted Aristide in 1991 during his first term. He was restored in a 1994 U.S. invasion and then disbanded the army.

turned their piece of property around to make an asset for Durham.” Although many tenants left for Southpoint, smaller, independent retailers in the area, who had relied on the South Square location for a steady stream of customers, have suffered in the wake of the mail’s closing. “It’s absolutely affected us,” said Daryl Jenkins, coowner of Dashboard Stereo, a car-stereo installation business just outside the former mall’s perimeter. “Business has been down the last few years. It’s difficult to attribute how much that is to the mall, and how much that is to the economy. But it’s a lot harder without the mall as a point of reference. I’m counting on [the new South Square development]; I hope it helps. Right now, you can see how many spaces around here are for lease.” Some independent retailers are still able benefit from a loyal customer base despite the mail’s closing. Levi

Green ofLevi’s Tailor Shop, which relocated to just outside the mall perimeter from its former location inside the mall, said he has customers who havie been coming to him for 30 years. “It’s been okay, but nowhere near as good as it was when we were in the mall,” Green said. “I hope Target and Sam’s [Club] add traffic. Without the mall, now people don’t have reason to come out here anymore. I hated to see the mall close. I really liked it. It was good for me when I was there.”

ON THE RECORD

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Biology statistics misinterpreted in article It is unfortunate that the Feb. 6 article on the number of biology majors tried to oversimplify what is undoubtedly a complex set of data. Nationally, applications to medical school rise and fall in fairly predictable cycles. From 1984 to 1990 they decreased (35,944 to 29,243). From 1990 to 1996 they increased (29,243 to 46,968). From 1996 to 2002 they decreased (46,968 to 31,903). In 2003 they began what will likely become the next cycle of increase (33,568). While Duke applicants to medical school also peaked in 1996 and fell for the next couple of years, for the last 6 years they have held steady while national applicants continued to fall through 2002. Specifically, from 1999 to 2004 the following number of Duke seniors and alumni applied to medical school for the first time (not including reapplicants): 240, 224, 241, 232, 251, 233. During these same years (1999 to 2004) the proportion of medical school applicants from Duke who were biology majors declined from 49 percent in 1999 to 32 percent in 2004.

We don't want people to get an idea that we've put all this money in a bank vault somewhere. In reality, it's already been put to really great uses, and was able to start programs that now need to be continued. —Gaston Warner, director of development for the Divinity School, on the funds raised in the Campaign for Duke.

I write to congratulate Duke University on a great win in what will certainly be an ESPN instant classic. I hope you got your tuition dollars’ worth. Your basketball players displayed excellent sportsmanship, as would be expected from a team coached by the exalted namesake of the Coach K Center of Leadership and Ethics in the School of Fuqua. You and yours back in New Jersey should be very proud of the great performance you put so much time and effort into watching. I would expect nothing less from a team whose name comes from the great and formidable French fighters, “Les Diables Bleus,” a group whose daring and monumental courage allowed them to soundly defeat all their foes in WWI and when I say “all,” I mean “none at all.” I hope each and every Duke student takes

pride in this distinguished heritage. Your victory harkens back to that glorious era of the “distinctive blue uniform with flowing cape and jaunty beret that captured public imagination.” My respect for you burns like a bench in the night. Good game. Go forth with your victory, but know that on March 6 it will ring as false as a Gothic arch built in the 19305. We will battle the forces of darkness, and emerge back into the clear blue light as champions. Leave the jaunty berets at home. Again, well played. See you on Franklin Street. Matthew Tepper Student Body President University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Students address mental health issues

Est. 1905

I have long advised students preparing for medical school that they should choose a major based on their academic interests. While medical school applicants must demonstrate their ability to do well in science courses, medical schools do not favor one major over another. Interestingly, as the proportion of medical school applicants who are biology majors declined in recent years, there was not a striking increase in the proportion who major in another specific field. Rather the distribution of majors is broader. As a biologist who loved all my undergraduate courses, from genetics to tropical ecology, I encourage students to explore biology. The biology department at Duke offers excellent courses on campus and at the Marine Lab. But when it comes to choosing majors, undergraduates should follow their passion. It is likely the large number of Duke students who are majoring in biology have done just that.

Did you know that a quarter ofyour peers likely suffer from a diagnosable form of mental illness? Seems high doesn’t it? That’s because of the stigma and resulting silence that surrounds mental health issues. You may be familiar with the Women’s Initiative, which effectively initiated widespread discussion on the topic, detailing many problems that were specific to undergraduate women and coining the phrase “effortless perfection.” This phrase would later become the title of an anonymous letter to The Chronicle from a woman contemplating suicide. Most chilling in that letter was the assertion that it accurately described “what it could be like to be an undergraduate woman on Duke’s campus.” Also disturbing was the fact that she considered the very admission of an existing problem to be “the greatest failure.” This issue is not confined to women, indeed men are four times more likely to successfully commit suicide than women. In October, an article ran in The Chronicle about Duke’s response to the three suicides at NYU last semester. Among college students, suicide is the second leading cause of most

death and it is estimated that 1,100 suicides will occur on campuses this year. Jim Clack, director of CAPS, wrote in, as did other students, decrying the importance of counseling and the need to publicize and remove the stigma around mental illness. While there are means to receive private counseling, the negative association with such counseling continues to render silent many of the problems that.need to be addressed and force suffering students to remain isolated and confine discussion to the counselor’s office. A group on campus, called Active Minds, is forming to deal with this pressing need. To start, we are putting together a publication of students’ personal stories to draw out open discussion. Please support our efforts and if you would like to send a personal story or any comments, submit them to DukeActivThe stories can concern any form mental health issue and may be anonymous or signed.

Or should we focus only on our team and lay off people like Strawberry and Williams who have done nothing to us and seem like pretty decent guys?

Columnists for The Chronicle can be divided into is torn, as a university, between two forces: the drive for academic success and the comtwo categories; the intellectuals and the have-a-lot-ofpulsion to be a good-times party school. These sex-uals. [lt bears noting that, in the real world, these forces are constantly wrestling with one another, attwo groups are not mutually exclusive. Paris Hilton is to control of the to working on her second Ph.D, and Howard Zinn has school, appearing tempting gain all the world like two toddlers fighting over a toy, a slept with every Playmate since July of ‘77.] Neither group is perfect. The former can often seem like piece of candy, or a nationally renowned research university. These battling forces each claim certain small shrill and self-righteous apple-shiners trying desperately to impress some non-existent victories. For example, if you squint teacher. The latter’s contributions to on a the your eyes campus foggy day, looks a bit like Princeton. But, if you the intellectual discourse has degenerated to the point where it has beclose your eyes on a Friday night, the come an open letter to the Duke comcampus smells a bit like Joe Namath’s bathroom floor. munity asking whoever ended up with The forum for this battle for the very their panties Friday night to return them ASAP, as they cost more than soul of Duke University is varied.

The goal of this column is bring as far as Baldmore. But more often than not, the battle is waged right to suggest middle ways, collaborative efforts wherein here, in the editorial pages of one of the nation’s the Duke community can become better-versed in imleast-awful student newspapers. You could be jotting portant world issues without giving up on their notes in the margins of this column for your upcorndreams of salacious reading material. First of all, the first few weeks of every columnist’s ing monograph on the impact of Frantz Fanon’s postcolonial thought on a modern reading of Yeats’ dratenure need to be devoted to enhancing the basic matic works. [Boring!] You could be using this paper knowledge of the readership. Before telling us about the “toilet ratio,” make sure we know what a ratio is. to sop up the bodily fluids left over from last night’s bacchanalian orgy involving seven of your best guy For that- matter, a toilet. Before teaching us about friends, four of your best girl friends, three waitresses “date function earning potential,” teach us what earnfrom Applebee’s, and a prominent member of the ing potential is. Before explaining how Duke’s social Durham City Council. [Gross!] It doesn’t matter. The life is like a pinecone with skin cancer, make sure know we to how order in put simple a sentence. These battle for Duke is being fought here.

columnists need to take as their teaching example the insanely pedantic and condescending first few pages of any social science textbook, excerpted here; “You may not think you know about economics, but if you’ve ever bought a slice of pizza, sold a raffle ticket or traded your Handi-Snacks for a launchable, you are already a budding economist! (You can probably get a teaching position at Emory.)” This firm base of knowledge will help readers later in the semester, when basic economic, physical and biological knowledge will then be applied to help you trick your man into remembering your birthday. Or something. The other thing that will help columnists is crosspollination. Let the problems of the Duke social scene inform the problems of the world, and vice versa. Here’s an example; “The Democratic Presidential nomination seems sewn up by John Kerry (basically a Deke), who has a sizable lead over such competitors as John Edwards (SAE), Joe Liebermann (AEPi) and Wesley Clark (KA), as well as fringe candidates Carol Mosely Braun (Mirecourt) and Denis Kucinich (SigEp, until he deactivated following an embarrassing speech at the semi-formal his junior year).” This could also be applied to columns about Duke life. “When your man starts occupying your time like your name was Tibet, it’s time to brush him off like De Gaulle at Yalta.” The soul of Duke University is up for grabs. The Chronicle wants to do more in this fight than simply be a bunch of half-finished crosswords and barelycomprehensihle Doonesburys at the bottom of the birdcage that is Duke’s intellectual discourse. By implementing these suggestions, the most strident of cause-heads and the most vacuous of sex-advice columnists can be made to work together towards a common goal: the betterment of dating in war-torn areas of the world. ,
