After a week of parties, skits and cheers, sorority recruitment ended Sunday. Three hundred and five freshman and sophomore women received bids to join one of the 10 National Panhellenic Conference sororities. This year’s recruitment was an “overwhelming success,” said senior Katie Jandl, president of the Panhellenic Association, the sororities’ governing body. “All the numbers were very in line with what they have been for the past years,” she said. The quota, or maximum number of new members each chapter is allowed to accept, was set at 31 this year, she added. Although Panhel leadership declined to provide official figures, members from nine of the 10 sororities reported that their groups had met or exceeded the quota. Last year’s quota was 34, and the decline this year can be attributed to the addition of Zeta Tau Alpha to recruitment, Panhel officials said. “We did not have any increase in withdrawals [from the process] ,”Jandl said.

She explained that, similar to years previous, “each woman who maximized her options and went back to every party that invited her received a bid.” The only chapter that reportedly did not reach this year’s quota was Alpha Omicron Pi. At this point last year, Alpha SEE BIDS ON PAGE 6

The controversial musician, actor and activist did not shy away from contentious issues during his speech. Belafonte spoke against President George W.

NEW ORLEANS— When Tulane University reopens its gates today, more than 10,000 students who were displaced after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans will return to the same campus but to a very different school. Administrators and students are optimistic that they can build on the foundations of a hurricane-tom campus, but they realize it will be an uphill batde. Ninety-two percent ofTulane’s students will return for the spring semester after they brought their stories to

Some students’ key chains may get a little lighter in the next few days. By the end of the week, bathroom doors will

be unlocked for those residence halls that have voted unanimously to do so. Most residents of West Campus voted on the plan at their first house meetings of the semester last weekend. First-year students voted late in the Fall 2005 semester, but West Campus voting was delayed to accommodate students returning from study abroad programs. “Campus Council has been trying to do this for the last three years at least,” said Council President Jay Ganatra, a junior. “All the students I’ve ever talked to love the idea.” According to the rules formulated by Campus Council and approved by Residence Life and Housing Services, all residents of a hall must vote unanimously in order to unlock the doors. If a resident who had voted previously in favor of unlocking the door changes his or her mind, the bathroom will be relocked.

He raised two claims never before endorsed by the high court: that executing a frail old man would violate the U.S. Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, and that the 23 years he spent on death row were unconstitutionally cruel as well. The high court rejected his requests for a stay of execution, about 10 hours before he was to be put to death.

The ruling cleared the way for Clarence Ray Allen—legally blind, nearly deaf and in a wheelchair—to be executed by injection early Tuesday for a triple murder he ordered from behind bars to silence witnesses to another killing. Allen, whose birthday was Monday, stood to become the oldest person executed in California—and the second-oldest put to death nationally —since the

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the California Supreme Court and a federal appeals court previously refused to spare Allen’s life. Allen went to prison for having his teenage son’s 17-year-old girlfriend murdered for fear she would tell police about a grocery-store burglary.

Nations criticize Iranian nuclear program by

Beth Gardiner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Moscow and Beijing joined the United States and its European allies in demanding Monday that Iran fully suspend its nuclear program, while Vladimir Putin held out hope for a compromise, saying Tehran might agree to move its uranium enrichment program to Russia. China, Russia, France, the United States, Germany and Britain expressed “serious concerns” about Iran’s resumption of small-scale uranium enrichment, Britain’s Foreign Office said. The powers stopped short of referring

the issue to the U.N. Security Council, which could impose sanctions, instead calling for an emergency board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Feb. 2-3 to discuss the issue. The 35-nation lAEA board could itself refer the issue to the Security Council. The stepped up diplomatic activity came nearly a week after Iran removed U.N. seals at its main uranium enrichment plant and resumed research on nuclear fuel after a two-year hiatus. The move alarmed the West, which fears Iran intends to build an atomic bomb. Iran claims its program is peaceful,

intended only to produce electricity and it has threatened to end all cooperation the U.N. nuclear watchdog if it is brought before the Security Council. U.S. Secretary ofState Condoleezza Rice said Sunday that she wants a vote as soon as possible on whether to refer Iran to the council and is working to line up support. “We’ve got to finally demonstrate to Iran that it can’t with impunityjust cast aside the just demands of the international community,” Rice said while traveling in Africa. In Moscow, Putin said the Iranians had indicated “they did not exclude the implementation of our proposal.”

Students from Duke and UNC celebrate shattering the worldrecord for longest basketball game Monday.

Kerry Mclntosh THE CHRONICLE

It was a scene not witnessed very often a basketball game between Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—fans from both schools sitting alongside each other rooting for the same cause. This past weekend, students from both schools came together to play the longest basketball game in history at UNO’s Fetzer Gym. The organizers aimed to raise $BO,OOO for Hoop Dreams Basketball Academy, a non-profit organization based in Durham that helps teach life lessons to terminally ill children through basketball. The event was also designed to beat the time for longest basketball game, as documented in the Guinness Book of World Records. From 8:15 a.m. Saturday until 6:00 p.m. Monday, teams made up of 12 students from each school played basketball for 57 at

hours, 17 minutes and 41 seconds straight, far surpassing the current Guinnessrecord of 30 hours and 12 minutes. The event kicked off with a rocky start when the Duke team arrived just in time for the beginning of the game after getting a $360 speeding ticket while driving to UNC. John Edwards, director of the Center on Poverty Work and Opportunity at UNC and former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, tipped off the game in front of CBS Early Show cameras Saturday morning. “Young people have come together and organized this event. The least I can do is come out and help. They are doing more than I am,” Edwards said.

Professor’s play honors Director talks race in human rights activists Hollywood, U.S. society by

Wu Janet recess

The voices of more than 40 human rights activists from around the world reached campus Monday, with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day performance of the play Speak Truth to Power: Voices From Beyond the Dark. Written by Ariel Dorfman, professor of literature and Latin American studies, the play follows the real life accounts of human rights defenders overcoming personal adversity to fight public battles. The play was based on the book by Kerry Kennedy Cuomo, a lawyer who traveled around the world to collect the stories of 51 heroic activists. Dorfman, a human rights activist himself, conceded not to have known some of the subjects previously. A cast of 11, composed of both local actors and Duke students, wove together the testimonies of the featured activists, changing roles and accents as the play

progressed. Throughout the diverse narratives, one phrase reoccured and eventually acted as the closing to the play: “I did what I had to do. Anything else would have tasted like ashes.” Two actors standing in the center of the stage responded to the testimonies wi(;h derision. ‘Yes, the poor of the world are crying out, but who cares?” they asked. In his director’s statement, Dorfman said he created the ‘negative character, which he referred to as “The Man,” to

serve as a “dramatic antagonist.” The voice represented the oppressive forces of the world that the play’s heroes must overcome —but also another destructive element. “What they really fear is indifference,” Dorfman said. “That is the real enemy.” Several of the testimonies and statistics given by the actors elicited murmurs of reaction from the diverse audience that filled the seats of a packed Reynolds Theater. After the play, Dorfman, who campaigned against the injustices of the government in his native Chile, led a subsequent discussion with Reverend Peter Storey, a former chaplain to Nelson Mandela and an active participant in the fight to end apartheid in South Africa. Storey’s comments summed up why information expressed through art can be so influential, even on issues that have been replayed constantly in the media. “This play was not about knowing more,” Storey said. “I don’t think there was a single fact in it that you didn’t know somewhere in your mind. This play was about feeling more.” The conversation drifted from discussion of the uphill batde of ending injustice abroad back to controversial issues affecting the United States. Refusing to back down from political controversy, Dorfman managed to link King’s experience to a hot-button issue in today’s news. SEE DORFMAN ON PAGE 12

Sex, race and Bugs Bunny were among the topics up for discussion Friday night when director Charles Stone spoke and showed film clips as part of this weekend’s Martin Luther King, Jr.

Day celebratory events. Stone is the director of feature films Paid in Full, Drumline and Mr. 3000, as well as several music videos and the notorious “Whassup?!” Budweiser commercials. Linda Belans, a member of the weekend planning committee, said the celebration’s planners like to have a film-related event Friday night. She added that film fit in well with the theme of this year’s commemorative weekend, “Call and Response,” because audience members unavoidably respond emotionally to film. “Film is deeply rooted in this because it demands a response,” Belans said. Stone began his speech while pacing between two chairs labeled “Filmmaker” and “Black Filmmaker.” After describing his childhood, a time of constant immersion in imagination and the arts, Stone traced the progression ofhis career from a student of animation at the Rhode Island School of Design to a feature film director. Although the speech’s main focus was the development of his art, throughout the evening Stone reflected upon the two labels on his chairs and the issue of race in Hollywood and society. In his introduction, Ben Reese, vice

Esther Houseman, vice president ofrecruitment for the PanhellenicAssociation, said that "out ofrespect for their national organizations, the presidents all agreed not to disclose recruitment numbers." Nonetheless, representatives from nine of the 10 sororities, including the chapterpresidents and recruitment heads of some, agreed to confirm figures forThe Chronicle. Panhel leadership declined to confirm these numbers officially.

Employee embezzled laptop An assistant coordinator at the Women’s Center was arrested Jan. 13 on a charge of larcenyby employee. According to Duke Police, Christopher Massenburg, 31, allegedly took an Apple laptop from the Center for Documentary Studies, where he is an instructor in the Continuing Studies program. The laptop is valued at $2,000. DUMC computer equipment retrieved On January 2 two subjects were arrested

after being stopped by a Duke University Police Officer on Erwin Road when he noticed them concealing bulky items under their clothing. The two suspects were in possession of computer equipment belonging to Duke University Medical Center, Clinic ID. Both subjects, Johnny Rogers and Jessiah Hubbard, were issued charges for Felony Breaking and Entering, Felony Larceny and Felony Possession of Stolen Property.

Omicron Pi handed out approximately 16 bids, and the numbers obtained by The Chronicle indicate that the sorority again offered the least number of bids. Jandl stressed that any chapters that do not make quota have the opportunity to woo members up until next January’s recruitment period, an informal practice known as “open recruitment.” “Generally, if chapters come in under quota... they have a very successful open recruitment,” she said. Senior Christin Lawler, vice president of membership recruitment for Alpha Omicron Pi, refused to confirm her sorority’s recruitment figures, but she noted that “informal recruitment has been incredibly beneficial to our chapter in the past.” Jessica Brinker, program coordinator for the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, added that Alpha Omicron Pi continues to have “the full support of the Panhellenic Council.” In a controversy that marred the end of recruitment week, more than a dozen

women were barred from entering Page Auditorium Sunday by Duke University Police Department officers because of suspicions that the women were under the influence of alcohol. The students, who were just feet away from several members of the Durham community entering the Chapel in anticipation of Harry Belafonte’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day speech, shouted expletives and loudly challenged the officers to breathalyze them. “This is the appropriate time to moon someone,” one unidentified woman yelled. Leanora Minai, senior public relations specialist for DUPD, confirmed that officers responded to Page Auditorium Sun-

day morning, “We showed up because, some of the [sorority] monitors suspected that some of the students had been drinking,” she said. Minai noted that no citations were ultimately issued.

TULANE from page 1 Mike Strecker. “I hope that’s a good metaphor for the return of Tulane and the return of New Orleans.” Orientation A “Welcome Back” sign hung over the packed center of Tulane’s campus this weekend, as freshmen returned to the rooms they abandoned in late August. Upperclassmen unpacked boxes and returned home once more. “It feels kind of strange to be moving into college for the third time,” said Tulane freshman Nichole Kanopoulos, who lived on Duke’s East Campus last semester. “I think you can tell, though, that a lot of parents are a little apprehensive about leaving theirkids.” Although administrators were leery going into “Orientation Deja Vu,” Kevin Bailey, orientation coordinator and assistant vice president for student affairs at Tulane, said the weekend went smoothly. Students and parents participated in a characteristically Bayou return to Tulane filled with “good eats, good sounds and fond memories.” Events such as “Jazz and Jambalaya on the River” and “TU at the Zoo” highlighted the weekend. “First we’re telling the students, ‘Welcome Back,”’ Strecker said. “We’re giving tours of the campus and tours of the city just to give them the lay of the land and let them know what they’re returning to.” Some students return to a drastically different living situation. Far removed from the clutter of boxes and the joyful din of long-overdue student meet-and-greets on campus Sunday, senior Olivia Watkins stood at the entryway to “Dream”—a 60s-chic cruise ship docked on the Mississippi River. The ship will house a number of returning students until Tulane’s remaining trailers arrive from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. When she lived on Duke’s Central Campus last semester, Watkins got used to waiting for buses. Sunday she stood outside the “Dream,” smoldering cigarette in hand, waiting for an overdue shuttle bus to drive her to Tulane’s main campus for lunch. The ship only offers breakfast and dinner. “They won’t allow us to bring any food on board,” Watkins said. “They expect us to survive on orange juice and iced tea until dinner time. They will do your laundry if you get it in on time, though.” The students have not found the living quarters as hospitable as their previous ones. “I was disappointed with the whole idea of it. It freaked me out a lot, and it made me nervous,” Watkins said of her new accommodations. “People aren’t really excited about being here. It really does feel like you’re trapped.” There is one perk. “It’s beautiful at night,” she added. Structure When Katrina forced them to leave campus last August, Tulane’s top brass relocated to Texas to discuss how to rebuild a school rocked by one of the greatest natural disasters in recent history. “There’s no road map, no route to deal with these things, so really it was a matter of hashing out a new plan,” Bailey said. After a comprehensive review in Texas, administrators were forced to evaluate the strongest parts of the Tulane experience. In the end they decided to put most of their resources behind the undergraduate experience, said James MacLaren, dean of the faculty of liberal arts and sciences and associate provost for Tulane. “The focus now is on a more student-

TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 20061

campus,” MacLaren said. “As we look to the future, we obviously have to look at making some very hard decisions to make a renewal plan for future growth.” In the past few months, administrators have announced that Tulane will phase out six of its eight engineering departments, cut a number of athletic programs and combine the men’s college of Tulane and the women’s college ofNewcomb—a move that has many students up in arms. The Tulane Hospital, which moved to Texas after Katrina, will remain there. Strecker said the eliminated programs will significantly affect only three percent of the undergraduate population. Administrators have also used the disaster as a means of fostering a stronger connection with the greater New Orleans community. Students will now live on campus for two years instead of one and will need to fulfill certain service requirements before graduation, Strecker said. “While administratively it is a big change, the experience of the student will be the same—only enriched by the opportunity to rebuild the city,” he said. “It is crucial that we reopen.” centric

Returning

Kanopoulos knew from the start that she wanted to go back to Tulane. “It was an odd dme,” she said of her experience at Duke. “I didn’t want to get attached to it, so I wasn’t as involved. It was bittersweet leaving it.” Three-fourths of the Tulane undergraduates found themselves dispersed at college campuses throughout the country. Those students who sat out will be allowed to take additional classes during the summer. “I can’t say enough in gratitude to Duke and all of the other schools,” Strecker said. “Unlike the response by the government, the response of the higher education community to this was just phenomenal.” Kate Schafer, a Tulane senior who found herself at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, was still able to put out the weekly Tulane paper Hullabaloo. Like most upperclassmen, she said she could not see herself finishing up the college experience at any place other than Tulane. “One of the big things that people realized when they were away, is that the number one thing at Tulane is the people,” Schafer said. “The people are back.” Schafer said she realizes that her school will look very different, but she believes Tulane needs to open this semester if it is to be the school it was before Katrina struck. “Tulane has to open financially. I think it’s ready to open on a skeletal level—we have the teachers, the students and the classrooms,” Schafer said. Kanopoulos shares Schafer’s optimism. “It’s good to finally be where you’re supposed to be—where you belong,” she said as she sat on the stairs to McAlister Auditorium. Like many places on Tulane’s campus, there are no waterlines in McAlister. A few blocks over, the mailrooms across from Butler dormitory had been filled with two feet of water. Less than a half a mile from Buder dormitory, derelict homes were covered with the characteristic “X” that marks the spot where rescuers searched for bodies only three-and-a-half months earlier. But on Tulane’s campus, it was Orientation Deja Vu all over again. “From where I stand, you would never think anything had happened,” Strecker said as he looked out on one of Tulane’s main quadrangles. “That’s not to say that the city dbesn’t have a lot of work in front of it, but we’re ready fo begin the process of rebuilding.”

sacrifice of innocent lives. “Bush has led us into a dishonorable war that has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people,” he said. “What is the difference between that terrorist and other terrorists?” Belafonte previously had called Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world” during a Jan. 8 speech in Venezuela, setting off a firestorm of criticism. At Duke Sunday, Belafonte also discussed the U.S. government’s fear of communism. King and fellow activist Nelson Mandela were initially purported to be communists, and Belafonte claimed he himself has a file with the FBI because officials fear he is aiding terrorists. “When those who are our enemy try to define for us who our enemy should be, I hold that in great suspicion,” he said. In keeping with the purpose of the MLKDay event, Belafonte called on his own life experiences to stress the difficulties African Americans face. The son of a Caribbean immigrant, Belafonte grew up in poverty, uneducated and hampered by severe learning disabilities. After serving in a segregated unit during World War 11, he developed his reputation as a singer and actor, which eventually led to his collaboration with Dr. King. “I understand his humanity, and in my commitment to him I shared his journey, up to and including his assassination,” Belafonte said. Belafonte said the two men discussed how to alleviate economic oppression. “Our laws, our legislation, our foreign policy was always built on the backs of the poor,” Belafonte said. Belafonte’s interest in activism led him to spend 20 years working among “the wretched of the earth,” particularly

Harry Belafonte spoke about King's legacy, oppression and his views of the current Bush administration. black male prisoners. He said more prisons are being built today than universities and health systems. “How curious, how sad, that our prison system is being turned over to the private sector,” Belafonte added. The primarily black audience responded enthusiastically to the speech, rewarding Belafonte with a long standing ovation. “A lot of truth was spoken, a lot ofissues that people are afraid to speak about,” said Fayetteville resident Raign Newman. But not everyone agreed. The Duke Conservative Union in particular was vocal in its opposition, with members telling Fox News and the Larry Elder Show that Belafonte was a poor

choice for Duke’s MLK Day celebration. “Belafonte claims to be a champion of human rights, yet he embraces tyrants, for example, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, who often brutally deny their citizens of the most basic human rights,” said senior John Korman, president ofDCU. Although most of the audience expressed agreement with Belafonte’s views, Korman said the crowd was not a true representation of Americans. “Most Americans would not cheer when George W. Bush, their President, is compared to the 9/11 hijackers and Operation Iraqi Freedom is compared to hijacking a jet and flying it into a building,” Korman said.

this end, he has already begun meeting individually with freshmen who expressed interest in English, literature or theater studies on their applications to Duke. “We don’t want to risk losing any [students] as a result of offering too few clusters,” he explained. Another change on the agenda is a revamping of the honors program. Plans to replace the thesis seminar with an approach based on independent studies have already received unanimous approval from the department’s faculty. Now the changes need to be confirmed by a University-wide committee, which Pfau said should happen later this month. Since the new system will allow students to begin work on their theses as early as spring of junior year, students will be better situated in applying for summer research funding and graduate schools, Pfau said. He also said he hopes the changes will help the department meet Trinity College goals for increasing the percentage of students doing independent research. “We’ve had somewhat dwindling numbers of applicants to the honors program,” Pfau said. For the immediate future, however, English majors—unless they are pursuing distinction—may not notice many differences to their courses of study. Faculty members noted that the abolition of clusters was unlikely to alter which courses the department chooses to offer. ‘You can find faculty who have different views on this,” Shannon said. “My own view is that the cluster was controversial even when it was enacted.... The elimination of the cluster substantively makes very little difference to your experience as a major.”

In addition, students must have attended the meeting or have voted absentee with their resident assistants prior to its start for their votes to count. Ballots require names and unique ID numbers for verification purposes. “It’s just too much of a hassle to have bathrooms locked,” said Crowell House EE resident Chris Lester, a sophomore. “People are protecting the bathrooms too closely.” Sex-specific locks were installed on bathroom doors after two alleged instances of sexual assault in 2002. The new locks replaced uniform ones that allowed access to all bathrooms, regardless of gender. There have been other proposed plans to change the lock policy since that time, but no policy was ever instituted. Ganatra said he is optimistic about the turnout for the voting process, especially for male bathrooms. “I think a lot of selective houses, who have a lot of parties, support the idea,” Ganatra said. Several fraternity members confirmed that support within their groups was strong. “Nobody wants the bathroom locked,” said junior Matthew Hoekstra, president ofDelta Kappa Epsilon fra-

“It’s difficult to get everyone in the same room at the same time with busy schedules,” Solera said. “However, I’d also like to say that residents were given ample opportunities to talk to me. If people really cared, they’d be here.” RAs and residence coordinators placed posters advertising the vote and listing pros and cons to changing the lock policy on bathroom doors campuswide. Students were also informed of the proposal via e-mail. Carl Krieger, RC for East Campus’ Gilbert-Addomsand Southgate dormitories, said attendance at the voting meetings was high in his neighborhood. “I had nearly full turnout for my area, but I think my area was one that had more turnout than others,” he said. Krieger said he had 100 percent male and female turnout on halls without opposition to the plan. Campus Council initially approved a plan to let residents vote on their bathrooms in October. Ganatra presented the plan as away to cut student costs, both for loss of bathroom keys and for fines assessed for door propping.

You’ve already got card access restriction [to the dorm].” But reaction was lukewarm elsewhere At the start of Crowell House EE’s meeting Sunday night, only 30 of the 43 residents were present. Supporters of the plan darted in and out, calling friends and knocking on doors in an attempt to reach full attendance. House EE RA Josh Solera, a senior, said the propping ofbathroom doors was a problem during fall semester. But he said the standards laid out for voting made it hard to reach full turnout.

traordinary, ordinary” people of all races

STONE from page 4

in films, and he said he tries to promote this in his own work. True, a short film he completed in 1999, epitomized this celebration of ordinary people and transcended racial barriers, Stone said. The film depicts two black men talking on the phone as they each watch television. Their conversation, which consists of repeated “What’s up?”/ “Nothing, you?” exchanges, is interrupted by a friend who erupts into the famously wacky “Whassup?!” that formed the genesis of the Budweiser commercial. Stone said, “True walks a fine line racially,” and he worried that it could be seen as a racially exclusive “minstrel film.” He also said the sheer bizarreness of the “Whassup?!” makes the film more universal than black. Stone noted with pride the meaning behind the film, what he called a “moment of nothingness.” The idea was rooted in his adolescence when he would talk on the phone while watching television, saying little but enjoying the companionship behind the moment. This “moment of nothingness,” he said, exhibits the true universal appeal of the film. “I’ve had guys ofall races come up to me and say, ‘That’s what I do too!”’ Stone said the film is not about race, “It’s about guys holding hands over the phone.”

“But blackness should be celebrated.” In an interview after the speech, Stone said appearing at Duke as a black filmmaker speaking on a weekend devoted to King evoked in him conflicted feelings about race. “It’s important to identify myself as a filmmaker of color, and I can’t condemn events like Black History Month, but there’s definitely a discrepancy,” he said. “[Steven] Spielberg is not known as a Jewish filmmaker. [Martin] Scorsese is not an Italian filmmaker.” Stone said he does not dwell on the filmmaker/black filmmaker quandary, choosing instead to focus on his work and through it express his views on race and humanity. “Everything I do celebrates blackness,” he said. Each of his feature films, Stone said, depict real human beings whose actions defy easy classification as good or bad, heroic or villainous. He lamented the tendency in Hollywood to depict characters, especially minority characters, in extremes. “Asian women are exotified, while Asian men are practically asexual,” Stone said. “Black people are either ghetto or Martin Luther King.” His wish, Stone said, is to see more “ex-

UNC and Duke. Students began planning the event last spring and volunteered as players, coaches and event organizers throughout the weekend. The director of the program on the UNC side, senior Greg Richmond, originally came up with the idea for the marathon while brainstorming creative ways to collaborate with Duke. “I first thought of the idea when I heard about some team out west that had set the record for softball,” Richmond said. “I thought it would be great for Duke and UNC to use our great basketball rivalry to come together for community service and hopefully start a new tradition that will continue forever.” The event was sponsored by sports equipment company Spalding and its “Never Flat” brand basketball. The company donated the jerseys and balls for the teams along with a check for $15,000. Duke University Health System also gave $lO,OOO, and each of the players was responsible for raising $l,OOO. Aero furniture company donated mattresses for the players to sleep on, and Red Bull, along with many other companies and restaurants in the area, provided food for participants to enjoy throughout the marathon. The spirit in the gym was competitive as the game began but quickly turned friendly for the remainder of the weekend. Both teams brought a sense of humor to the legendary basketball rivalry between the two schools. For example, Kate Farthing, a junior who was one of the coaches for the UNC team, wore a shirt that said “The Real Coach K.” “We all started off trying to show people up with every play, but within a few hours we just focused on enjoying the game,” said Colin Fee, a senior on the UNC team. “It’s more important to help a cause than to win.” Some of the more difficult times throughout the weekend came in the wee hours of the morning when the players were running low on sleep. “The first night from about 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., hordes of UNC fans came into the gym and wouldn’t stop shouting and running around. That was probably one of the more annoying moments,” said Drew Braucht, a sophomore on the Duke team. Event Staff Chair Brendan Hayes, a Duke sophomore and member ofAlpha Tau Omega Fraternity, got involved through the Newman Center at Duke and soon enlisted his fellow brothers to be a part of the team. Duke won the game with a final score of 3,684 to 3,444. Winning, however, was not the main objective for either team. “This marathon is a win-win situation,” said Matt Kinney, a junior on the Duke team and recreation coordinator of the event. “If we win, we get to brag mercilessly, but if we lose, the kids of Hoop Dreams still get the help they deserve.”

“Martin Luther King was seen as a security risk,” Dorfman said. “What does it mean that he had the FBI constantly spying on him? Wire tapping him.... Wire tapping? Woah!” After the show during a dessert reception and booksigning, audience members discussed their reactions to Dorfman’s work. “[The play] was a really powerful way to honor this day by looking at some of the other people who worked for human rights and civil rights in the world,” said Emily Chapman, a first-year student in the Divinity School. Although it has seen the likes of the Kennedy Center and King’s Ebenezer Baptist Church and had been performed by famous actors including Sean Penn and Sigourney Weaver, the play was always intended for students, Dorfman noted. Composed just 11 blocks from Duke’s campus, Speak Truth to Power had never been performed in the Triangle until Monday. Ben Reese, vice president for institutional equity and co-chair of the MLK Commemoration Committee, highlighted what he felt was the purpose of including the production in the weekend’s events. “A play like this stimulates us all to recognize the joint humanity of all of us on this planet and the responsibility we have to ensure that mistreatment, hunger, torture and poverty doesn’t occur in this country and the world,” Reese said. “We’ve been given a gift this evening.”

cumstances, the Blue Devils (16-0, 4-0 in the ACC) knew their Saturday afternoon trip to Clemson (13-4, 2-2) to face a Tiger squad that had just knocked off the Demon Deacons would be difficult, despite winning their last 18 contests against Clemson. The game was far from easy, but Duke’s veteran leadership guided the Blue Devils past a pesky and determined Tiger squad, 87-77, at Litdejohn Coliseum. “That’s the hardest any team has played against us this year, and we’ve had teams play hard against us,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We’re not surprised by it. We expected it.” It was a somewhat unusual game for the Blue Devils, who attempted only nine three-pointers—lo below their season average—and also saw senior JJ. Redick miss four free throws in a game for the first time in his career. But Duke, which scored 38 points in the paint and another 29 from the free-throw line, fought its way through foul trouble and iced the game on the line in the closing minutes. Redick led five Blue Devils in double digits with 34 points. “I just think offensively, with the exception of a few plays, we were pretty smart today,” Redick said. “Any time you can adapt during a game and still score, I think it just shows a little bit of maturity.”

Dockery’s last second shot beat Virginia Tech, Duke once again escaped a close game against a tough ACC opponent to maintain its perfect record. In the Blue Devils’ 87-77 victory over Clemson, JJ. Redick poured in 34 points and 031111? Williams Shelden analysis chipped in 17 and 11 rebounds. But Saturday afternoon’s game against the Tigers was less about what Duke did than it was about what Clemson could not do. After the game, head coach Mike Krzyzewski acknowledged just how close the Tigers were to ending Duke’s undefeated run Saturday afternoon. “We beat a team that gave a winning effort,” he said. ‘You saw two teams that gave winning efforts today.” Fortunately for Duke, Clemson’s best shot came up short because it was conspicuously lacking in one aspect of the game free throw shooting. The Tigers struggled all afternoon from the charity stripe, finishing a miserable 6-for-21 from the line, even after Shawan Robinson hit two straight in the final minute to improve the statistics a tiny bit. “Our guys weren’t happy about it,” Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell said. “I’m not happy about it.” Purnell was aggravated for good reason. —

THE CHRONICLE

WORCESTER, Mass. There was a notable shakeup in the Duke rotation Mon-

day night.

Absent from the starting lineup was freshman guard Abby Waner, who had started 15 of Duke’s 16 games. Replacing her was sophomore Wanisha Smith, who had started only one game this season. Waner 031116 had been struggling of analysis late, shooting only 17 percent in her last four games, including an 0-for-5 night against Boston College Saturday. “Abby just hadn’t been playing that well and she hadn’t been hitting her shot and Wanisha had been playing very well,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I told them at the beginning of the year that all of the starting spots were always going to be open because I wanted our practices to be very, very competitive. This was an instance where we felt like it was time for Wanisha to be rewarded for her great play and maybe take some pressure off of Abby from that starting spot.” Apparently, the reward paid off. Right out of the gate, Smith and Duke’s press forced two turnovers in three Holy Cross possessions, resulting in a 9-2 lead only a minute into the game. Smith scored seven of those nine and hit all six of her first-half shots to lead the Blue Devils in scoring at the break. Over the first 20 minutes, Holy Cross had scored 16 points as a team. Smith alone had 13. “I think our aggressiveness helped me get into the game,” Smith said. “I don’t ,

think it was anything I did individually. It was just going after it and me getting wide open layups.” With the game well in hand, Smith saw fewer minutes in the second halfand scored only two points. She ended as Duke’s second leading scorer in the game—to her displaced teammate, Abby Waner. Waner started hitting her shot, going 6for-9 from the field and 4-for-6 from threepoint range. Her 66 percent shooting was her best mark since the third game of the season, and her team-high 17 points were her most in six games. “I know my shot’s been really off lately, so it was just a matter of getting in rhythm and just going out after practice and getting a few extra reps in,” Waner said. “I know I’ve been rushing and forcing a little bit, but this game my teammates found me and luckily I was able to knock a few down.” In addition to great shooting nights, both Waner and Smith helped Duke’s defense harass Holy Cross in both the full and half court, getting two steals apiece. Neither player would put her effort above the team’s in the wake of their great performances. Both emphasized that competition is healthy and that, no matter what, the Blue Devils will continue to feed off of each other going forward. “The good thing about it is that we both know that we each have each other’s back no matter what, because that’s the way our team is and that’s the way it works—that we’re not selfish,” Waner said. “We have players that are able to handle the depth and handle the fact that there are other great players on the team as well.”

Freshmen score pair of top-15 upsets Duke struggles in 2 weekend losses Peter Wyman THE CHRONICLE

Only hours after unseeded Duke freshman Melissa Mang defeated 15th-ranked Boglarka Berecz of Florida Friday, classmate Tara Iyer had a rare opportunity to add another stunning upset. Facing Stanford’s Anne Yelsey, the second-ranked player in the nation, Iyer took her Cardinal opponent into a third set in the freshman’s second match of the day at this weekend’s Freeman Memorial Invitational—held from Friday through Sunday at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “The most crucial moment in that match was the beginning of the third set,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “She won the first, then lost a close second set, and I told her that she needed to stay disciplined in the third. I gave her one tiling to focus on and that was her decision making. I knew that if she played smart in the last set, she could win.” Iyer took Ashworth’s advice and completed the upset convincingly, 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. It seems the coach’s words were working for the freshmen Friday, as he also helped Mang make an adjustment in her first-round match. She had won a close first set against her Gator opponent but needed to be more aggressive with her forehand, shot placement and footwork, Ashworth said. Mang heeded her coach’s advice and topped Florida’s Berecz in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1. “They both had decent fall seasons,” Ashworth said of his freshmen Iyer and Mang. “They beat who they were supposed to beat, but nothing more than that. They both had quality chances against good players, but never won the big matches. To get these wins early in the spring season is great, and wins like those really help the team, too.” Mang lost in the second round, along with Duke’s Bthseeded Jackie Carleton, a senior who is ranked 27th in the nation. Duke freshman Jessi Robinson made a first-round exit, and Iyer made it to Saturday’s quarterfinals before falling to Celia Durkin ofStanford.

Ashworth described the tournament as very tough, as it featured players from top teams such as top-ranked Stanford, No. 2 Florida, No. 5 University ofSouthern California and No. 22 South Carolina. Looking forward to the start of the regular season, the 14th-ranked Duke team will seek to build on its performance at America’s playground. “It was a good gauge to see where our team is...a gauge of what we need to work on,” Ashworth said of the tournament. “We’re ready to have a good year and to get back with our winning tradition.We’ve struggled in the past few years, but everyone is excited to get back on track.”

One week after being named the eighth-best team in college tennis, Duke could not play up to its ranking as the Blue Devils lost to No. 22 Texas and 39th-ranked Miami on consecutive days. The men’s tennis team began the Hidden Dual Tournament by soundly defeating No. 48 Michigan 11-1 on the first day of play. Duke won all of its singles matches and dropped only one doubles match against the Wolverines. “We played very well all around on Saturday against the Michigan team,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. But that’s as long as the impressive play lasted. Against the Longhorns, Duke lost 8-4 as Texas won five of eight singles matches and three offour doubles matches. “Texas was a very good team,” Lapidus said. “There were a lot of close matches and a couple tough tie-breakers that day.” Duke’s two ranked players, senior Ludovic Walter and junior Jonathan Stokke, failed to win either of their matches in the loss. No. 9 Walter lost to No. 44 Travis Helgeson in three sets and No. 20 Stokke was defeated by the Longhorns’ Callum Beale in straight sets. “Ludovic lost a really tough match to a guy from Texas,” Lapidus said. “He usually struggles outdoors at first. He’ll be better when we move back indoors.” In Monday’s matchup against the Hurricanes, Duke suffered a lopsided defeat, 6-1, as they could not capture any singles matches with both Walter and Stokke taking the day off. “We didn’t play our top two players so that’s a pretty big deficit,” Lapidus said. Even after two straight upset losses, Lapidus was unfazed. “We’ve just had one practice,” he said. “I’m confident we’ll continue to improve as our season continues.”

Greg Adrouny THE CHRONICLE

After nearly two months without a meet, the Duke men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams were able to record easy victories against Davidson Saturday. Despite having no official competition since the Patriot Invitational Nov. 20, the Blue Devils showed no signs of any rust in the pool Saturday. The women’s team (5-3) beat the Wildcats 155-79, its highest margin of victory since a 135-70 drubbing of the College of Charleston back in October 2004. The men’s squad (3-3) captured a 140-94 victory over Davidson, its secondhighest margin this year. “This was probably a good meet to have to get our team ready for the second half of the season,” head coach Dan Colella said. “We were able to work the kinks out on Saturday.” Several of Duke’s swimmers won multiple events against the Wildcats. Senior Katie Ness won both the 200-meter freestyle and butterfly. Freshman Lauren Gonzalez and sophomore Chris Sanders each won every diving event for the women and men, respectively. In addition to having numerous swimmers and divers winning multiple events, the Blue Devils also won the top three spots in five events. The women swept the 200 freestyle, 200 IM, 100 freestyle and 200 backstroke, while the men secured the top three spots in the 200 backstroke. “It was a huge thrill to go one-twothree in those events,” said Colella. “It re-

Those wins gave our program a lot of confidence.” Duke has three very tough meets coming up as they compete against Virginia, East Carolina and then Clemson over the next three weekends. “We’re going to have our hands full over the next three weeks, especially against Virginia,” said Colella. “We really want to go out there and give them some good competition.”

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s track and field team showcased the talent of its younger athletes at the North Carolina Opener Saturday. Many of the team’s freshmen and sophomores competed in the first event of the season, which included UNC and Davidson in the field. The meet was highlighted by freshman Chris Rowland’s first-place finish in the 800-meter run. In his first race as a Duke runner, Rowland staved off a push from St. Augustine College senior Bershawn Jackson, last year’s 400-meter hurdles world outdoor champion. “[Rowland] ran in the second heat, which is typically for slower runners, but he looked like a veteran rather than the rookie he is,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “Jackson began to creep up on him at the end, but when it came time to answer the bell, [Rowland] took the lead for the win. He is going to be one of our better runners.” With a time of 1:59.99, Ade Wise also earned a top-ten finish in the 800-meter run, placing eighth.

Ogilvie credited assistant coach Jon Amt for some of Rowland’s success in the race. Amt is a former 800-meter runner who graduated from Duke in 2004. Ogilvie said that Amt serves an example of a successful Duke runner whose experience in the program will be valuable to a very talented group of 800meter runners.

The Blue Devils also had a strong showing in the one-mile run. Steve Brown took second place and sophomore Patrick Parish took seventh in the event. On the women’s side, sophomore Lara Jones created the most buzz by finishing second in the pole vault. Her 1111.75 vault qualified her for the prestigious ECAC Championships. Ogilvie said the goal ofmany of his athletes is to qualify for this event and that he was notably impressed that Jones was able to accomplish this feat in the team’s first event of the year. Even though none of the other athletes met the standard Saturday to qualify for the ECACs, Ogilvie expects that junior Kelly Reynolds, who holds the Duke all-time record for weight throw, will also qualify for the Indoor Championships in the near future. She finished second at Saturday’s event with a throw of 50 feet, 9.5 inches, nearly three feet short of her record. Freshman shot-putter Jessica Tanner made a name for herself by entering the Duke record books with the third-best throw in Duke history. She finished third in the first event of her collegiate career

Saturday. Ogilvie said the purpose of this meet was to give the younger athletes some experience and he felt that many of the less experienced competitors had an impressive showing. Duke will next travel Invitational January 21.

MICHAEL CHANG/THE CHRONICLE

Freshman Greg Paulus dished out eight assists and turnedthe ball over just three times in Duke's 87-77 win.

CLEMSON

from page 13

Although Duke extended its six-point halftime lead to 11 in the opening minutes of the second half, Vernon Hamilton nearly single-handedly kept the game close. He scored 18 of his career-high 31 points after the break. The 6-foot Hamilton, who needed a couple of stitches on his forehead to close a gash he suffered while chest-bumping a teammate during player introductions before the game,attacked the Blue Devil defense. Rather than being intimidated by Shelden Williams, who was coming off a career-high 10 blocks against the Terps Wednesday, Hamilton took the ball at the Duke big man and repeatedly shot floaters in the lane over Williams’ outstretched arms. “Hamilton, for them, was incredible,” Krzyzewski said. “He hit more leaners than I’ve ever seen.” Despite Hamilton’s efforts, Clemson could not get closer than four in the second half, due in large part to atrocious foul shooting that Tigers head coach Oliver Purnell said might have cost his team a chance at the upset. Entering the game as the ACC’s worst free-throw shooting team, Clemson connected on just six of their 21 attempts—a 28.6 percent clip. “It’s frustrating to lose to a team like this when you have an opportunity to win, an opportunity to play the No. 1 team in the country,” Purnell said. ‘You just don’t get those opportunities very often.” After Clemson pulled back within five with less than two minutes to go, Redick broke the Tigers’ press by finding Sean Dockery open for an easy layup, and down the stretch the Blue Devils hit 9-of-10 from the charity stripe to crush Clemson’s hopes. The two teams went back and forth over the game’s first 20 minutes, with the lead changing nine times, and neither team was able to gain a significant advantage. Reading the passing lanes well, Dockery stole the ball four times in the opening minutes, but the Tigers’ guards often got into the paint for easy baskets. Then, when each of Duke’s big men picked up two fouls in the period, Krzyzewski was forced to make an unusual defensive adjustment. “We got in all that foul trouble, and we went into a match-up zone to stop their penetration,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s the first time we’ve played that for that extended an amount of time. We might have done it on an out-of-bounds situation, but we played it for about 10 minutes. That’s

about 10 minutes more than we’ve played it in most seasons.” The Blue Devils went back to their trademark man-to-man in the second half and fought their way to what Redick called an important road win in a close game. “They really knocked us back a little bit for a while there, and I think we needed to catch our breath, get back on our feet and scratch out a win,” senior Lee Melchionni said. NOTES: The Blue Devils are off to their secondbest start in school history. The 1992 National Championship team won its first 17 games, and Duke’s only other 16-0 start came in 1986.... The Blue Devils are one of only three unbeaten teams left in Division I and are the only team in the ACC that has not lost a conference game through the first four games of the league schedule.... Freshman Josh Mcßoberts played only two minutes in the second half and did not score in that time. Melchionni, who started the second half in his place, said he talked to Mcßoberts after the game and told him to, ‘“Come back Monday and be ready to go.’ There are going to be games that we need him and he’s going to win games for u5”.... After blocking three shots in the game, Williams is one block shy of tying Mike Gminski, Duke’s all-time leader. He is averaging 3.7 rejections per game this season.... Dockery scored 10 points, reaching double digits for the seventh time this season. The Blue Devils improved to 14-0 when the senior scores at least 10 points.

Cross 48-30. Alison Bales had a field day with the smaller Crusaders, notching 13 points and 11 rebounds for her third double-double this season. The lopsided margin gave the Blue Devils the opportunity to give rest to their starters and experience to their reserves. Emily Waner, Laura Kurz and Carrem Gay, who played just over 11 minutes combined Saturday, each played at least 14 minutes Monday, and no Duke player played more than 24 minutes. “It’s not about playing the other team, it’s about us getting better and working on some things,” Goestenkors said. “We worked on our zones in the second half, first half we worked our man-to-man switching, we worked on our press throughout the game. We were really focused on ourselves and where we needed to prepare [for future games].”

W. BBALL from page 13 down just a little bit and fortunately come away with a win.” Lindsey Harding, who was named ACC Player of the Week Monday, and Monique Currie led the Blue Devils against the Eagles. Harding had 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists and Currie added 20 points, 14 of which came in the second half. Monday, Duke continued the momentum gained in the second half of the Boston College game and used crisp ball movement to open a commanding 51-16 halftime lead. The Blue Devils notched 24 assists on 33 field goals in the game. “The last few games we haven’t shot the ball well, especially in the first half, so I felt we were due for a good shooting night,” Goestenkors said. Defensively, Duke imposed its will on the outmatched Crusaders, generating 16 first-half turnovers with its press. When they did decide to drop into a halfcourt defense, the result was similar—the more physical Blue Devils blocked 10 shots and outrebounded Holy

NOTES;

Duke’s 17-0 start is the second-best in school history, the 2002-03 Blue Devils started 20-0.... Forward Chante Black missed the game with a foot injury.... Bales became Duke’s all-time blocked shots leader with 5 blocks. She has 214 now for her career.

Clemson’s head coach talked after the game about how his strategy of driving to the hoop and making Williams choose who to defend was “accepted” as the best way to attack Duke. In that sense, just how close the Tigers came to beating the Blue Devils should give Krzyzewski and his coaching staff some pause. But Clemson could not close the deal because even Purnell’s best players could not buy a shot from the foul line. Vernon Hamilton nearly matched Redick’s output with 31 points ofhis own, but he only hit 2-of-6 free throws. A lot of the missed shots came in crucial situations. Clemson had Duke in trouble in the first half when both Williams and Josh Mcßoberts picked up two fouls with more than six minutes remaining. The Tigers had traded leads a few times with the Blue Devils, but they ultimately went into the locker room at halftime down by six because they missed 10 of the 13 free throws they took. It did not get too much better after the break. Clemson center Akin Akingbala, who went just l-for-5 from the line, missed both ofhis chances with just over seven minutes left and the opportunity to bring his team back within four. Three minutes later, Williams was whistled for the fourth time, sending reserve forward Steve Allen to the line for a one-and-one. Allen connected on the first, eliciting a half-relieved, half-sarcastic cheer from the crowd. With the Tigers down seven and on the verge of a comeback, however, Allen demonstrated Clemson’s futility from the line by missing the second. Duke did not look back. Both head coaches had ideas about why Clemson struggled so much from the line. “I think they shot less in today’s game because they were exerting so much energy,” Krzyzewski said. ‘You get to the line and—even for J.J., J.J. missed four free throws today—that shows you the atmosphere of the game.” Purnell was a bit more realistic. “Overall we’re not good shooters, that’s why you see us run into shooting problems sometimes,” he deadpanned after the game. Purnell said normally his team can make up for poor shooting with outstanding defense. And they did do a good job of limiting Duke’s high-octane offense, even if the Blue Devils’ final point total would not indicate that. But against the No. 1 team in the nation, it’s just not possible to sneak away with a victory with that type of performance from the foul line. Duke did its part to capitalize on Clemson’s mistakes. The Blue Devils shot a cool 29-for-36 from the stripe, and four of those seven misses came from the normally rocksolid Redick. The team closed out the game by making nine of its final ten attempts over the last minute. Clemson—like Virginia Tech and Memphis this season—showed that Duke is beatable if quick guards can get inside and force Williams to choose whether to leave his man or allow the perimeter player to pull up for short jump shots. The Blue Devils are good enough, though, that they will not beat themselves in a close game. Teams like Clemson may have a chance if they give a “winning effort,” as Krzyzewski said, but they cannot afford to slip in any aspect of the game if they expect to knock Duke off its ever-growing pedestal.

A wide world

try to think of myself as open-minded. At Duke I’m surrounded by classmates from all over the world with every imaginable life story. I feel like I can empathize with people from wide demographic and geographic backgrounds. Yet, even this conscious effort many times seems insufficient. So often I find myself forgetting just how many perspectives are out there and failing to listen and understand them. Over winter break, I traveled with seven other delegates from Duke Debate to the International University Debating Championships in Dublin, Ireland. There were 342 teams from five continents, with more than 1,000 delegates gathered to compete. In addition to the delicious Guinness and some amazing nights of pub crawling, my partner and I had the privilege of arguing nine intense debate rounds with opponents from all over the world. Being the only American team in rounds with teams david fiocco from Asia, Europe, the shades of blue Caribbean and Africa debating international relations certainly opened my eyes. My debating improved after several long nine-hour days of competition, but what I really came away with was something I never expected: a wider, far more open world view and an understanding of what diversity really means beyond the buzzword that’s tossed around so frequently by campus advocacy groups. In one round my partner and I had the task of opposing the resolution: “This house believes Japan should be granted a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.” There is no question that this is a complicated question, but from an American perspective, we seemed to have the easier task. Why would we want to add Japan to the Security Council mix? Why make things more complicated? Yet, the team defending the resolution was from Tokyo, and their perspective was worlds apart. I listened to the Tokyo team decry denying Japan a seat and holding us responsible for the wrong. I began to really think about how I constructed my perceptions of what should be best for the world. Maybe I was just thinking about what was best for me and what was best right now. The very next round had a more American slant, with the resolution: “This house would prohibit the teaching ofintelligent design in the classroom.” We were defending this resolution, and we opened with a fairly standard argument about the separation of church and state and the essential protection of our religious freedom. However, the opposing team was from Israel, and they were quite blunt in informing us that we were way too shallow and self-absorbed. This time I listened as their team leader chastised us, “You Americans only think about America, and you are so terrified of losing your freedoms. We believe that you should learn about every theory and understand all points of view. Who gets to, decide that there is only one right answer?” Hmm... good point, I suppose. In fact, good enough to beat us in the round. But it dawned on me here that my perspectives might not really be as open as I thought. I’m studying international development, and I’m quick to criticize internationalaid groups that go in to a country without understanding the culture at all, determined to create a “quick fix.” The intentions are good, but so often the results are disastrous. I like to think that ifI were to be designing the solutions, I would be certain to carefully consider the cultures where I’m working. But how much do I really know? How much can we learn in a classroom about what it means to be from war-tom Rwanda or impoverished, AIDS-stricken Somalia?That sort of knowledge can’t be absorbed in any lecture hall, and how arrogant of me to think that after a single African culture class I could understand the way oflife. Unless you can truly live with a group and be a part of the struggles they endure, it seems impossible to decide what should be best for them. I guess when I think about it, it's a little disturbing to think that the most significant lesson I took away from the tournament was a potent awareness of my own ignorance. Yet, I hope I can take the experience a step further. It’s wonderful to hope that we can change the world, and I love the optimism that pervades so many of my classes here. However, before we start tossing out solutions, I know now that I will be more careful to attempt to truly understand, to collaborate, to observe and, most importantly, to listen.
