DSG prepares for election !� Officials extended the deadline for legislative applications until Monday night, bringing the total number of interested students to 52. By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Even before its annual leg-

islative elections, Duke Student Government has already had its first hiccup.

Late Sunday night, DSG Attorney General Elizabeth Kreul-Starr and President C. J.

Walsh decided to extend the deadline for legislative election packets from 5 p.m. Sunday to 11:59 p.m. Monday. In a mass

e-mail sent to the entire student body, they explained that they were attempting “to increase student involvement in the University decision-making process.” “These election packets contain the tools to put your name on the ballot for this Wednes-

day’s election,” Kreul-Starr and Walsh wrote. “In this year of implementation, make sure that your voice is heard through involvement in DSG. The process is simple—only 50 signatures are required to enter this election.” The extended deadline brought the final candidate tally to 62, about 10 more than last year. DSG officials declined to say how many packets had been handed in by the

STUDENTS will have the opportunity tives Wednesday. original Sunday deadline. “We just want more,” Walsh said Sunday. “It’s not as big a deal to add a candidate to the ballot, because it is all on computer. It’s Labor Day weekend, and some students have not been on campus. The extra day should help.” The 40 elected legislators

The measure, proposed by former vice president for student affairs Jasmin French and former vice president for academic affairs Jason Bergsman, met sharp opposition. Legislators argued that the size of the organization was one of its strengths and that a smaller legislature would not increase accountability.

Muslim students receive long-awaited prayer space University chooses central location By VICTORIA KAPLAN The Chronicle

Muslim students on the go now have a centrally located space set aside for prayer on campus. The space—a room in the former Office of Institutional Equity in the greenhouse behind the Bryan Center—is a “functional step forward,” said senior Lala Qadir, co-president of the Muslim Student Association. The room provides Muslim students, who must pray five times a day, with the privacy they previously lacked for such prayer. For the first time, MSA has also been allotted office space, located in the Office of University Life on the top floor of the Bryan Center. “Last year, we had to pray all over campus,” Qadir said. “We’re hoping this can be a place where everyone can

own office space for Muslim student prayer because MSA did not have an office then. “It was a wonderful show of solidarity,” said Saima Hussain, a senior and co-president of MSA. “Students in other groups understood our needs.” Qadir attributed the acquisition of the new space to the “great initiative

from students and the administration’s willingness to help.” The issue of prayer space was first brought to light last November at the Unity through Diversity luncheon,

where leaders ofcultural groups spoke about their goals and concerns to an audience of administrators that included President Nan Keohane. Judith

White, director of the Residential Program Review and chair of last year’s Cultural Space Committee, responded to MSA’s needs for space, helping find the new room.

KAUKAUNA, Wis. Surrounded by workers in hard hats, President George W. Bush celebrated Labor Day with equal parts concern and confidence about the state of the American economy. The president and first lady Laura Bush took a quick trip outside Washington Monday to debut the balancing act that Bush will undertake when Congress gets back to work this week.

Confronted with a shrinking budget surplus, second thoughts about his tax cut, and an economy at near stand-

still, Bush tried simultaneously to soothe blue-collar worries and bolster confidence in his economic agenda. Five times Bush told carpenters’ union members at a rally here that, even though unemployment statistics remain healthy, he is worried about the nation’s paltry eco-

nomic growth and about individual workers who have

been laid off. “I worry about the families affected. I’m concerned about the children whose dad or mom might not be able to find work right now,” Bush said. In the next breath, he repeated the word confidence five times. “Even though people are hurting today—and I know they are—l’m confident in the basic underpinnings of the American economy” he said."... I’m confident we’ll recover.” Bush’s morning stop at the Northern Wisconsin Council of Carpenters training center, and a later picnic with Teamsters in Detroit were the latest installments of Bush’s effort to court while promising all working Americans that he will do what he can to revive the nation’s economy.

University opens child care facility

P Duke will again make use of the Children’s Campus as a day care center where employees can bring their children at a rate subsidized by the University. By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

With the reopening of the Children’s Campus last Monday, Duke employees—and parents—have a new opportunity for on-campus day care. “We decided it was more convenient to have the children closer to their parents,” said Lori Bodenhamer, regional manager for Bright Horizons Family Solutions, the child care corporation that runs the facility. The center is located on Alexander Road, across from the Ronald McDonald House. The facility, which has a limit of 76 spaces, is already full , and has a waiting list of nearly 80 children in all age groups. The highest demand is for infant care, for which there are 35 children waiting. The price of monthly tuition ranges according to age group from $753 to $927. The University pays for a set number of spots and also has a set of sliding-scale fees. Employees pay for the service through payroll deduction. Melinda Elliot, the liaison between Duke and the center, said that she hopes the new facility will get a four- or five-star rating on the state’s one- to fivestar scale. Because the facility is not yet permanently licensed, they don’t have a rating. “Part of my job is to meet monthly with parents, making sure all of their concerns are being heard,” she said. Mindy Kornberg, director of staff and labor relations, said teachers at the facility try to integrate both inside and outside activities to stimulate all of the children’s senses, and their efforts include a water play area and music center. Teachers also track children’s development and encourage cooperation among them. The facility, which had not been used for child care since 1997, was renovated at a cost of about $500,000. The new location replaces the child care facility at the YMCA of Greater Durham, which officially closed last week. The University became involved with child care for Duke employees in March 2000, after YMCA teachers See CHILD CARE on page 9 �

THE ULTIMATE FRISBEE TEAM, along with other club sports, are funded annually through the Student Organizations Finance Committee, although the group recently tried to change its budget allocation.

SOFC distribution stays the same By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Amid campus-wide discussions about how to best finance student activities, one major funding source has looked at potential changes to its budget but found that its hands are tied. The Student Organization Finance Committee, whose chair is appointed by Duke Student Government, appropriates over $400,000 annually in funds from the student activity fee. Groups must be recognized by DSG to be eligible for money, and organizations ranging from political clubs to religious groups regularly receive funds. Much of the funding is consumed by just a few organizations, with three groups—the Undergraduate Publications Board, the Sports Club Council and DSG itself—taking about two-thirds of the SOFC budget. By finding alternative funding sources for the groups, Vinny Eng, SOFC chair, had been hoping to free up his committee’s money for other groups. That appears

both unlikely and unnecessary, Eng says now. “They kind of restrain our funding a little, but the money’s still being used productively,” he said. “The publications board serves a really good purpose on campus, because there’s really nothing else like it and they put out a lot of great publications.” The discussion of how to structure the SOFC budget fits in with the larger issue of facilitating the student funding process. Money for undergraduate groups is also currently appropriated by quad councils, administrators and other offices. “I’m interested in a more coordinated approach, one that favors students’ ability to get funding easily and not from different access points,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs. Funding for the yearbook Chanticleer—which is put out by the publications board—is mandated by SOFC’s 35-page bylaws, and a change could only be made by a DSG vote. The board received $181,214.75 See SOFC on page 7

Research method tracks chemicals By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

What bacteria can do effortlessly, scientists have only just begun to grasp. Biochemists at the Medical Center have developed a technique to engineer bacterial proteins to act as bioelectronic sensors for a multitude of chemicals. “The goal is to try and use proteins to detect interesting chemicals in the body or environment,” said lead researcher and Associate Professor of Biochemistry Homme Hellinga. The findings of Hellinga’s study were reported in the Aug. 31 issue of Science. When attached to electrodes, these proteins produce an electric signal indicating the identity and concentration of specific chemicals. The technology has already been used to detect glucose in blood serum and maltose in beer, demonstrating its ability to pick out specific substances in a complex mixture, “It essentially borrows out of nature’s book,” said Hellinga. The engineered proteins are based on bacterial periplasmic binding proteins that bacteria use to detect food sources and avoid toxic chemicals. Because of the variety of bacterial life, the proteins form a basis for a great number of chemical sensors. Hellinga envisions broad applications in medicine. Biosensors could instantly detect chemicals in patients, eliminating the expense and time that current lab methods waste.

For example, Hellinga said, the technology could be used to monitor glucose levels in diabetic patients, perhaps providing a continuous basis for an artificial pan-

creas. Physicians could accurately monitor blood levels of anesthetics used during surgery or kemotherapeutics in cancer patients, rather than relying on vital signs to imprecisely dictate proper doses. “Metabolic markers” could be used to more accurately detect specific diseases, and drug tests could be dramatically improved. “These sensors give a molecular picture of a patient,” Hellinga said. In one experiment, the researchers coated a gold electrode with bacterial maltose binding proteins that were tethered to metal ruthenium groups. When maltose was added, the sugar contorted the proteins’ shapes, producing a voltage difference across the metal and an electric current proportional to the maltose concentration. Hellinga noted that when the scientists re-engineered the protein, it dramatically changed and began detecting zinc rather than maltose, demonstrating the

versatility ofthe technique. “The next step is to do it with environmental chemistry... to try and redesign proteins to bind new things,” Hellinga said. Biosensors could provide a simple method for detecting chemical gases, pollutants and toxins in air and water. Hellinga sees biosensor technology eventually taking part in nanosystems that could patrol the blood and, like bacteria, affect their environment based on the chemicals they detect. “But that’s a 10-year project... well, at least 10 years,” he said. Hellinga is joined in his research by David Benson of Wayne State University, Scott Trammell of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. and Duke researchers David Conrad and Robert de Lorimier.

Money battle looms as Congress starts fall session By JIM ABRAMS

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON Congress resumes its legislative battles this week with the White House pressing for more education and defense money and Democrats saying the evaporating budget surplus has put all new spending in jeopardy. Money, or the lack of it, will be the big issue as Congress returns from its month-long summer recess to finish work on the fiscal 2002 budget and tackle such priority items as energy policy, patients’ rights, farm aid and a Medicare prescription drug benefit.

Four bombs explode in Jerusalem, srael responds Monday’s violence caused the death of two Palestinians and resulted in the wounding of By GREG MYRE

The Associated Press

Four bombs exploded on the JERUSALEM streets of Jerusalem early Monday, and Israel responded with a helicopter strike that sent missiles through the roof of a Palestinian security building in the West Bank. In a day of violence on several fronts, two Palestinians were killed and at least 20 were wounded, while at least six Israelis were hurt. In the center of Hebron, Israeli soldiers and Palestinian gunmen battled Monday evening. Two Palestinians were killed and about 20 were injured in widespread Israeli gunfire, the Palestinians said. Two Israeli soldiers were hurt in an explosion, one seriously, the army said. South of the West Bank city, a Jewish settler was shot and seriously wounded when his car was ambushed by Palestinian gunmen, the army and rescue services said. Hebron has been the scene of repeated clashes throughout the recent Mideast fighting. About 500 Jewish settlers live in several small enclaves in the city, home to about 130,000 Palestinians. Israel’s Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said he was still trying to arrange truce talks with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Nothing was set, but speculation focused on a possible meeting this week in Italy, where both have been invited to a conference. Asked whether a cease-fire could be reached, Peres said: “That is my hope.”

AUDITIONS

“I think [Arafat] also needs it. The uprising is not yielding so much fruit. On the other hand, it is yielding more and more fatalities, unfortunately, and is causing great hardship,” Peres told Israel radio. Even if a meeting were arranged, the prospects of a breakthrough to end 11 months of fighting are slim. Peres and Arafat have met twice in recent months, but have failed to even reduce the bloodshed. In a bid to bring the two sides together, European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana met with Palestinian negotiators Monday and planned to hold talks with the Israelis. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon took his case to Moscow, where he will meet with President Vladimir Putin Tuesday. The prime minister wants to build on the existing relationship between the two nations and explain “Israel’s outstanding need to fight against terror,” Sharon aide Raanan Gissin said. Russia has largely left the Middle East stage to the United States despite Moscow’s official role as a co-sponsor of the peace process. Arab leaders including Jordan’s King Abdullah 11, who was in Moscow last week, have urged Russia to get more involved. In Jerusalem, three of the four bombs went off in and around French Hill, a neighborhood in the northern part of the city built on land Israel captured in the 1967 war. Two explosions occurred before dawn, startling sleeping residents but causing no injuries. Shortly before 8 a.m., a bomb placed in a car ex-

ploded, injuring one woman, setting the vehicle on fire and scattering debris in the street. The fourth bomb was placed in a municipal pickup truck in French Hill, police said. A municipal worker, unaware of the bomb, drove the vehicle early Monday to the Gilo neighborhood, which has been the scene of Palestinian sniper attacks, and that bomb exploded just before 8 a.m. Two people were slightly injured. The radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said its military wing—which it called the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigade—carried out the attacks in retaliation for last week’s killing of the group’s leader. PFLP chief Mustafa Zibri, widely known as Abu Ali Mustafa, had organized a string of car bombings, according to Israel. Army helicopters fired a pair of missiles through his office windows on Aug. 27, killing him instantly. The PFLP has claimed, or been blamed, for about 10 bombings during the current round ofMideast violence, which began last September. No one has been killed in any of those blasts, and in most cases, the injuries have been few and light. In retaliation for the Monday’s bombs and shooting attacks against Israelis in the West Bank, Israeli

helicopters fired several missiles at a Palestinian security building in Dura, near Hebron. Two members of the Palestinian security forces were injured, the building was badly damaged when missiles slammed through the roof, and three cars were destroyed, Palestinians said.

with major depression. The researchers also found that the effect of major depression was independent of traditional risk factors like severity and type of heart failure and age, O’Connor said. Although studies linking the treatment of depression with heart failure have not yet been conducted, lead author Weiwen Jiang, a research associate in medicine, said these findings show promise for developing new strategies to help those with heart problems. “It is clear that depression has a significant impact on [congestive heart failure patients], and at a much earlier time. If we can improve their depression, we may be able to significantly improve outcomes for patients with heart failure,” she said. The study results were released in the Archives of

Internal Medicine last month. Although the researchers have many hypotheses about the link between depression and heart failure, they are not certain of the precise explanation. “There really aren’t any good answers why, but it’s probably because depression is associated with high levels of platelet activity, which create clots in arteries,” Jiang said. O’Connor said depressed patients are less compliant with their medications because their hopelessness leads to unwillingness. Depression also adversely alters the electrical function of the heart and could lead to general heart problems. Understanding the exact relationship between depression and heart failure will be the new focus for the researchers. “We need to find out what kind of depression treatments for this population will improve their prognosis. Then we need to find out by what mechanism the depression works so we may be able to develop more powerful treatments [to produce] more positive outcomes for these patients,” Jiang said.

SOFC gives DSG 13.6 percent of funds � SOFC from page 3 this year—4l.6 percent of the SOFC budget. SOFC allocated $59,118.93, or about 13.6 percent of its budget, to DSG this year. The money is the only source of funding for student government, and pays for the group’s staff assistant, supplies, elections and other operations, said DSG President C. J. Walsh. “That’s a lot of money to take from another source,” Walsh said. ‘We’ve been talking about it for a while, but we haven’t been able to come to a conclusion.” The situation is similar for the Sports Club Council. Although club athletes must pay dues to participate, they often raise funds on their own and receive donations from alumni, and money from SOFC helps to pay for equipment, coaches and travel costs. This year the council received $42,179.06 from the SOFC, 9.7 percent of the budget, which the council then distributes to the individual sports.

DUKE

“[The money] is extremely important,” said junior Anne Bowlus, acting president of the Sports Club Council. “We get a significant amount of money from the SOFC. If that gets cut, we have to cut major funds to our clubs.” That probably will not happen, Eng said, because SOFC bases its decisions on a combination of factors, including student participation. “Some groups only need $2OO dollars a year if they just have meetings and need money for packets and things, but others need thousands of dollars,” he said. “There’s a lot of diverse groups that come to the SOFC

for money.” The finance committee must follow many other guidelines in distributing money to student groups. For example, the groups must reapply every year for funding. Also, the money cannot be used for alcohol or profit-seeking ventures.

This is the third world conference on racism, but the first both Israel and the United States had attended. However, both countries boycotted the 1978 and 1983 conferences, in part because of similar anti-Israel language.

The draft document recognized with “deep concern the increase of racist practices of Zionism,” and said Zionism “is based on racial superiority.” Israel is the only country mentioned specifically in the document, which accuses the Jewish state of “practices of racial discrimination.”

Bush visits labor unions on holiday I*- LABOR DAY from page 2

THAD PARSONS/THE

10NICLE

Almost WEL done Construction on the West-Edens Link continues, as University administrators strive to meet their goal of completing the new dormitory by the fall of 2002.

Congress likely to delay adjournment BUDGET from page 6 compromise form so they can be sent to the president. As in past years, deadlines are expected to slip, with stopgap measures enacted to keep some departments operating. It is virtually certain that the target for adjourning Congress by Oct. 5 will slip. Two of the largest bills, for education and defense, have not reached the floor of either house, and Bush has pressed lawmakers not to shortchange &

those areas. “I’m asking them to let go of some of the old ways of doing business in Washington,” he said last week. But Democrats are balking, blaming the tax cut for putting Congress in a situation where it must either sacrifice important programs or dip into the Social Security trust fund account. Both parties say they are committed to approving a Medicare prescription drug benefit bill this year, but they disagree on how much money will be needed and how the new program would be paid for. Votes also are expected this month on a bill to authorize defense programs that includes the administration’s goals of spending more to modernize the military and build a missile defense system.

The administration has budgeted more than $7O billion over 10 years to help the nation’s farmers, but dwindling federal dollars could affect the final figure in an aid bill coming up this fall. Among other pending major issues: —The Senate may take up an energy policy bill, following House passage of legislation to promote domestic energy production and conservation. —The two chambers are trying to work out differences on bills to overhaul bankruptcy law and to protect the rights of patients in managed care health programs. —House Democrats and their GOP allies hope to force Republican leaders to give them a vote on limiting campaign spending. —Democrats plan to push for a raise in the minimum wage, possibly tied to tax cuts for small businesses. Also likely is legislation to extend several tax breaks that expire at the end of 2001 and shield middle-class families caught up in the complex alternative minimum tax. —Lawmakers face an Oct. 21 deadline to extend an existing moratorium preventing taxes on Internet access and taxes that single out the Internet.

International carpenters union president Doug McCarron laid bare the novelty of the occasion. “It’s no secret this isn’t an administration we’re going to agree with all the time,” McCarron said with a nod to Bush. “But Mr. President, we didn’t agree with the last administration all the time either.” Bush, who lost union voters to A1 Gore by a 2-1 margin in last year’s election, replied to McCarron: “Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we don’t. But I tell you we’ll always answer his phone. We’ll always listen to what he has to say... I’m honored to call him friend.” “Happy Labor Day, all you laborers,” the president told a group of reporters as he departed the White House early Monday. Labor groups are key donors and organizers for Democratic candidates, but Republicans are making gains among rank-and-file union members. Bush hopes to drive wedges between the Democratic Party and its traditional union allies. The Teamsters delayed their endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate A1 Gore in 2000 while Bush courted union President James P. Hoffa, who was honored at a GOP convention reception. With the help of building trades unions, the Teamsters helped Bush pass his energy package in the House on the belief that the plan will produce jobs. Still, the two part ways on several issues, including the president’s push to give Mexican trucks broad access to U.S. roads. “The fact that the president accepted our invitation shows that he is reaching out to labor families,” said Teamsters spokesperson Rob Black. The union has been aligned with both major parties, endorsing Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush in 1980,1984 and 1988. The carpenters union that Bush visited broke away this spring from the AFL-CIO, a major Democratic Party ally. “Our view has always been that we support elected officials who support carpenters and working families, regardless of party,” said executive director Mark Reihl. White House spokesperson Ari Fleischer called the president’s schedule “a little bit unusual” for a Republican. “The president thinks it’s important, no matter how somebody voted, to reach out and represent them.”

Pickens hopes to take it up a notch By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

After being one of North Carolina’s most sought-after high school players, Sarah Pickens could have chosen practically any university to play college soccer. Spurning offers from several big-name schools, including ACC powers like North Carolina and Clemson, Pickens chose her life-long favorite, Duke, months before graduating from Greensboro Day School, only 60 miles down the road from her new home in Durham. It seemed like everything was in place for the young soccer phenom—she was going to her dream school, playing for an up-and-coming team, and had even capped off her high-school career with an independent schools state championship. But then she hit a wall. After scoring over 100 goals for Greensboro Day, thi held scoreless her freshman year despite starting thr season. She was confronted with the harsh reality th? lege athletics, a reality that she did not grasp until

She scored 12 goals and racked up 21 pr son, good enough for the team lead in both categories All-ACC honors. Now, as she enters her final season as a Blue Devi Pickens has been confronted with new challenges. No only does she have the opportunity to cement her legac; as one of Duke’s most prolific goal scorers, but she alsi would like to raise the stature of the program to an tional level. “I would like to see Duke higher up in the rankings,” Pickens said. “We have a strong program, and we need to show how strong it really is.” Of course, Pickens does not have to undertake this task all alone—not only will she need help from her teammates, but she will also need the wisdom ofher new coach, Church, who actually recruited Pickens as a high-school senior when he was the coach at UNC-Charlotte. In fact, Pickens was so impressed with

Church’s recruiting technique that she invited him to a family dinner, although she eventually decided that Duke, not UNC-Charlotte, would be the best place for her to play. “After being at this school for three years, working with [former Duke coach Bill Hempen], and playing in the ACC, she’s obviously a lot better,” Church said of his former recruiting target. “She used to just be a one-dimensional player where you could play balls in behind defenders and she would just run over the top of them. Now, she can still get those balls, but she also can get underneath defenders and she can turn on players. Her ability to receive, ■ turn and accelerate is really the big improvement area.” While Pickens is certainly more multi-faceted than she was in her � high school days, for the upcoming season, both she and Church would like to see her work on a number of areas. Having gone scoreless so far in Duke’s two exhibition and two regular-season games, •rioritizes finishing out scoring opportunities as the area she to improve the most.

While she is not sure what she will be doing, she has soccer open as a possibility, given her success in college soccer’s most competitive conference. She monitored the progress of the fledgling WUSA women’s soccer league when she spent last summer in Iceland with teammate Thora Helgadottir, and would jump at the chance to play on women’s soccer’s most glamorous stage. “Since I was in Iceland, I missed the whole inaugural season of the WUSA, but I heard it turned out really well,” Pickens said. “I’ve definitely looked into that as an option; I’d love to play.” _,

Men’s soccer hopes rebuilding process will be smooth By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

In 2001 the Duke men’s soccer team will be rebuilding after losing seven prominent seniors, but hopes not to look like a re-

building team. Duke graduated its career scoring leader and last year’s Missouri Athletic Club Player of the Year,

Ali Curtis, fellow ACC first-teamer Robert Russell, All-ACC second team goalie, Jeff Haywood, preseason All-American defender NiiAmar Amamoo, team co-defensive player of the year, Dwayne Harris, and key reserves Ryan Furgurson and Stephen Pate from last year’s 15-6, ninth-ranked squad. In the preseason, Duke lost starting midfielder Scott Noble to kidney surgery and projected starting midfielder Victor Victorsson to a

knee injury. Noble may not return this year and Victorsson is expected to be out three more weeks. Faced with the challenge of remaining competitive despite such huge losses, coach John Rennie embraced change this offseason. “This team is going to be a rebuilt team, no question about it,”

the 23-year veteran said. “We will play a different style and a different system. We really are, in the classic sense, having to rebuild a team.”

The Blue Devils will be employ-

ing a 4-3-3 this year, with four defenders, three midfielders and two forwards. Rennie expects the system will fit his players better.

“We have not as good athletes, but maybe better soccer players,” he said. The more patient offense should play to the team’s strength: finesse. Long passes will be used less frequently and close passing will be emphasized. Jordan Gila will start at center forward after playing some forward and midfield last year. He will be flanked by Demetrio Sanchez, a senior who emerged at the end of last season, and Owoicho Adogwa, an athletic freshman from Trinidad. “[With Cila gone], I have to assume more of a leadership role and be more of a go-to guy” Cila said. It is in the midfield where Duke may have its greatest problems. Sophomore Trevor Perea brings his nifty, nimble footwork back to the offensive midfielder position, but the absences of Victorsson and Noble have thrust juniors Donald Mclntosh and Adam Guren into starting roles they were not expecting. Nevertheless, captain Kevin Sakuda is pleased with the way the forwards and midfielders are playing. “Donald [Mclntosh],

Trevor

[Perea] and Adam [Guren] have all been playing well along with Jor[Cila] dan and Demetrio [Sanchez],” the defender said. “Last year, they could take more of a back seat role because Ali was going to score goals and Robbie See MEN’S SOCCER on page 8

A great deal can change in a year. The men’s soccer team, after two years of relative roster stability, takes the field this season having lost five starters and one of the better classes in Duke soccer history. “I’m very positive about the team. We definitely lost a great senior class, but in terms of talent, we’re still pretty strong,” said Kevin Sakuda, one of the team’s captains. “We’ve got a good group of freshmen that are going to come in and contribute right away. I’m very optimistic.” Sakuda remains a constant on the back line that lost Dwayne Harris and Nii-Amar Amamoo to graduation. The senior defender, recently named as the Blue Devils’ captain by his teammates, enters the season having started all 63 games in his Duke career. “I think he has tremendous intelligence and poise on the field,” coach John Rennie said “Those are the things that come to mind when you think of Kevin. He is very skillful, and is a very smart player. You always get the feeling when you get the ball to Kevin that he’ll do good things with the ball.” This season however, Sakuda’s responsibilities have increased. With the loss of last season’s senior class, Sakuda becomes Duke’s leader on and off the field. “[ln the past] I could take a back seat most of the time because we had a lot of strong personalities in the senior class,” Sakuda said. “Now everyone is looking towards me and the other seniors. I have to be more of a leader, more of a presence on the field.” Duke’s defensive unit this season is vastly different than it has been in the past. For the past few seasons, Amamoo and Harris brought a great deal of speed to the back line. While the Blue Devils won’t have that kind of speed this season, with the addition of Indiana transfer Matt Ahumada and the return of Robert Antoniou and Andy Borman, they are probably more skillful. “I think what we have done is trade better soccer players for better athletes, Rennie said. “This group is not necessarily as good athletically, but they are better players. It’s very rare to find both. A great player who is a great probably playing for money somewhere.”

v,uange in the composition of the defense has led to a change in strategy. The Blue Devils will not use a sweeper this season, instead ,

going with three marking defenders. Due to depth issues in the midfield, Duke will play with three mid-

fielders this season. Sakuda’s role has changed with the new strategy. Rennie has moved the senior out to the wing on defense. “The three guys in the midfield are more pinched

in,” Sakuda said. “That actually gives me a chance to play like an outside midfielder when we go forward. Defensively, I will still have the same responsibility in the back. But once we get the ball, I will have

the whole line to run. I want to get more involved in the offense.” That represents a fairly major change considering Sakuda has taken a mere seven shots in his '

Duke career. In order to prepare for the season, Sakuda spent the summer playing with an amateur team based in North Carolina and practicing with Santa

Clara in his native California. “It was a good experience,” the senior said. “They have a good atmosphere. They had good number out there all the time, and it was very competitive.” Practicing with the Broncos did have a drawback, however. Santa Clara knocked Duke out of the NCAA tournament in 1999. “I grew up with a lot of those guys,” Sakuda said. “They’ll talk some crap, but it’s all in good fun.” Unlike the past two years, the Blue Devils enter this season as an underdog. Perception that the loss of stars like Ali N Curtis will render Duke toothless, has led to lower rankings. “We definitely have a lot to prove to people this year,” Sakuda said. “I think we’re ranked fifth in the ACC. But I think we have a good team this year. I’m not setting any lower goals than I did last year. We want to go out and win the ACC and the national championship. “I don’t think the lower ranking is a bad thing. In the past, there was we were No. 1 and everyone was shooting for us. I x lot c' think year we can surprise people and make a statement.”

Nagel optimistic about upcoming volleyball season By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

The volleyball team made great progress last season and hopes to build on the strong foundation they already have with five returning starters. Coach Jolene Nagel is optimistic about the upcoming season and thinks the team arrived at campus ready to play. “The team came back in good shape, Nagel said. “We haven’t played any games yet, so it’s hard to tell exactly where we stand.” ”

Second-team All-ACC selection Jill Sonne, a returning starter, was an integral part of the team last year, especial-

ly on defense. She led the team in digs with 422 and was second on the team with 103 blocks. After a summer of training, she is looking forward to the rigorous season ahead. “I’m really excited for the season,” Sonne said. “Hopefully we can win some big games and make a name for ourselves.” Another vital player from last season’s team, 6-foot-l outside hitter Ashley Harris, led the Blue Devils in kills last year with 393. She recently recovered from shoulder and wrist surgery this year but is healthy and ready for the upcoming season.

“Ashley Harris is doing really well,” Nagel said. “She improved over the summer, as everyone did.” Krista Dill, a sophomore, will start again at the middle-blocker position. After being named to the All-ACC rookie team last year and leading the team in blocks, she hopes to have another great year. Opposite Dill in the rotation is a vacancy left from last year where junior Rachel VanderGriend will step in. “There’s no limit to what we can do this year, Dill said. “I think we can do extremely we 11... I think that this is our year.” In addition to the underclassmen who will be back to this year, Duke has added four new names to the roster this fall. Freshman recruits Cassidy Crum, ”

Stephanie Istvan, Maureen Clair and Erin Noble will all be playing for the Blue Devils. Istvan is recovering from anterior cruciate

ligament

(ACL)

surgery, which she needed because of a basketball injury. “Cassidy Crum is definitely going to be a good addition to the team, Sonne said. “Maureen, a [defensive specialist!, is looking good.” One important player that decided not to return is Senior Pam Gottfred. She was the team’s starting setter last year and a team catalyst. According to Nagel she is not playing because offactors in her personal life. “Pam isn’t playing for personal reasons, Nagel said. “Everything is still on good terms.” Stepping in at the setter position is sophomore Arielle Linderman. In her limited time last year she played well. Linderman’s fellow teammates think highly of her and know she can help Duke achieve all their goals this season. “Arielle really changes the game for us. She makes the team more deep and moves the ball around. Dill said. “We can beat every team in the conference. We could’ve done it last year.” The Blue Devils’ schedule is similar to last year’s with one glaring exception. On Sept. 14-15 Duke will travel ”

DORRETTE BURWELL nails a spike in one of Duke’s games last season

to Wisconsin for its last tournament of the regular season. As the NCAA runner-up team last year, the Badgers will be setting their sights even higher this year. “When we scheduled the tournament, Wisconsin was in the 14-20 range (in the rankings) but now they’re in the top five,” Nagel said. In addition to three tournaments during the season, Duke plays two nonconference opponents before beginning play in conference. The ACC should be very competitive for Duke this year, mainly because of Georgia Tech and North Carolina. These two teams were listed ahead of the Blue Devils at first and second place in a preseason poll.

“I definitely think Georgia Tech improved because they didn’t graduate many players,” Nagel said. “I’m also sure UNC got better.” One very important factor this season will be the new scoring system that is being implemented. The first four games of a match will all be played to 30

using rally scoring. If a fifth and final game is needed it will be played only to 15,also using rally scoring. According to Linderman, this could affect how many games are decid-

ed this season.

“It brings the game of volleyball to a higher level, Linderman said. “A worse team can actually beat a good team.” The Blue Devils have set some lofty goals for the season and many players seem optimistic about meeting them. To improve from last year, Duke will have to make it past the first round of the NCAA tournament and compete for the ACC championship. “It’s going to be tough to win the conference but we have it as one of our goals, Dill said. “From then on, we want to win the ACC conference tournament and go even further than we did in the NCAAs [last year].” The volleyball team has set its goals high this season. Now it is time for the Blue Devils to step on the court and attempt to achieve them. ”

Cross country teams look to prolong last year’s success By WILYORK The Chronicle

This year, as Duke’s men’s cross country team prepares for a new season, it does so from an unfamiliar spot—the top of the ACC. In unseating perennial ACC powerhouse N.C. State last year to win the Blue Devils’ first conference crown since 1977, the team enjoyed a breakout season, ending among some of the nation’s top teams at the NCAA Championship meet. However, there is still more building to be done. After being invited to the championship meet, the Blue Devil run-

ners fell flat, finishing in last place out of 31 teams. “As good as we were last year, we still obviously have a lot to prove to our competition and ourselves,” said senior runner Jay Champi, “We know we’re a good team, but we just need to let our feet do the talking, to show that we’re the real deal.” The women’s team also enjoyed a successful 2000-01 season, finishing fourth in the ACC and being invited to the women’s NCAA Championship meet for the third straight year. They fared slightly better than the men there, coming in 24th out of 31 teams. Both teams will open their seasons Sept. 8 at the Fordham Invitational in the Bronx, New York. They have good reason to plan for continued success, as each returns its top runner from the end of last season. Senior Sean Kelly, the 2001 ACC individual champion, was the lone male runner from Duke to finish in the top 100 at the NCAAs. “We know we have a lot of competition,” Champi said. “I think it’s going to

be very challenging. We have to stay with it.” The Blue Devils’ top female runner, Sheela Agrawal, returns after a thirdplace showing at the NCAA Southeast Regionals and a second consecutive selection to the All-America team as one of the nation’s top 30 runners. “Teamwise, we want to be top-15,” Agrawal said. “We’re really excited, because we have a really good group of freshmen, and our returning runners are in really good shape.” The women’s team may be slightly more youthful than the men’s, with only six upperclassmen out of 19 runners. However, the leadership quotient will still be good, as all of those upperclassmen runners have been a part of multiple teams that have competed in NCAA

Championship meets. The men’s team will be a good mixture of experience and youth, with eight seniors and 6 freshmen among its 26 runners. Coach Norm Ogilvie underlined the idea that this can be both a blessing and a curse. “We’re very, very excited about the season. We return the ACC individual champion, Sean Kelly, and I think he’s primed for an All-American year,’’Ogilvie said. “But as far as our goal, it would be a great accomplishment for a team of largely unproven collegians to get a top-15 finish.” Champi feels that the elder statesmen of the team are up to the challenge of grooming their proteges while also

turning in solid seasons on the trail. “Sean and I have been to NCAA Championships, but we also know what it’s like not to make the championships,”

SHEELA AGRAWAL and the women’s cross country team hope to improve upon last year’s finish

Champi said. “We want to make the most of our senior season and motivate the guys, but we’re friends above all else, so it’s not just about yourself.” All agreed that last year’s disappointing finish can be attributed to the fact that the team simply ran out of gas. Ogilvie felt last year’s team had to stretch a little to reach short-term goals, and could not quite finish the long haul of the season.

“You have to be very, very good to get an automatic bid. We’re not good enough that we can ignore the regional, but hopefully this year, we can time our peak a little better,” Ogilvie said. “Our focus this year is more on the national meet. Last year, our definite goal was to win the conference. We faced N.C. State 5 times last year, and the only time we beat them was at the conference.”

Soccer team more Helgadottir to compete internationally

relaxed this year MEN’S SOCCER from page 5 [Russell] was a huge presence. This year, they’re really stepping up and playing well.” Sakuda will be a mainstay at right defender. Indiana transfer Matt Ahumada and junior Andy Borman will start in the middle, while Robert Antoniou will play on the left side. Other than Ahumada, the defenders saw a lot of playing time last year, but are being asked to assume a somewhat larger role. Asking players to step up from small roles to leadership positions has been the theme of the preseason and may be a key theme for the year. “We had a group that was here for three years where it seemed like, for three years in a row, they were leaders of the team—and we miss that tremendously,” Rennie said. “But I think the guys that are here now really want to prove that they’re going to be just as good.”

Senior Scott Maslin, who inherits the starting spot in goal, agrees that there is a large leadership void to be filled. “This year, not like other years, it’s more of the whole team’s role to step up and lead,” he said. If Duke has one major advantage oflast year, it is a lack of pressure. The team was recently picked fifth in the ACC in the preseason poll. “Last year, we expected to win the national championship, [but] that didn’t work out,” Cila said. “This year we’re more mellow, more calm and relaxed. But we expect to do well.” “Hopefully, it won’t be a rebuilding year in the sense of wins and losses,” Rennie echoed. “It’ll be a rebuilding year in the sense of a lot of different players doing a lot of different things out there.”

DEMETRIO SANCHEZ, a midfielder, boots the ball last weekend against Northeastern.

� WOMEN’S SOCCER from page 4 from the teams outside the ACC, the ACC is one of the top conferences in the country,” Helgadottir said. “I think so definitely [we have something to prove]. Our freshman coming in are very strong. The team is better.” In addition to her duties as Duke’s goalkeeper, Helgadottir has upcoming international matches versus Italy on Sept. Bth and then versus Spain just over three weeks later. Helgadottir believes these matches will be valuable for her development. “You get a lot of experience,” Helgadottir said of her matches with the Icelandic national team. “Over there you are up against the best players in the world. Every game counts.” The Blue Devils also expect to get an added boost with the return of fifth-year senior Kasey Truman, who was an All-ACC second-team selection two years ago after notching 19 points as a de-

fender before injuring her anterior cruciate ligament last year. However, in a match against Richmond last week, Truman injured the medial collateral ligament in her other knee. “This is the worst person it could happen to,” Pickens said. “She’s been recovering for 13 months from her last injury, so she was pumped and ready to go. In our scrimmages, she was a huge personality on the field, guiding everyone on the team. Hopefully, her recover will be short so we can get her back.” Though the injury will keep Truman out for around four to six weeks, the team still returns nine of its starters and sports one of its deepest rosters in years after losing only four seniors. “We definitely have the talent and capability this year,” Pickens said. "We’re very deep. The talent level won't go down once members from the bench step in.”

Football team regroups after huge loss to FSU By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle

It’s hard to find a silver lining in a 5513 defeat, but coach Carl Franks saw a lot to be proud of in Duke's season-opening loss to Florida State. For starters, the coach called senior Ronnie Hamilton's performance “his best game as a Blue Devil.” The starting cornerback and punt returner broke up two passes against the Seminoles but saved his most electrifying work for special teams. For the second straight year .Hamilton returned a punt for a touchdown against Florida State. In yesterday’s weekly press conference held at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Franks also praised the Duke offense, specifically the pass coverage and sophomore tailback Chris Douglas. “Statistically we gave up two sacks,” Franks said, “but [Florida State’s] coverage was more responsible than our offensive line was for giving them up.” Meanwhile, Douglas compiled 31 yards rushing, 85 yards receiving (including his long 78-yard touchdown), and 188 yards returning kickoffs for a total of 304 all-purpose yards. This single-game total fell only seven shy of the school record set by Randy Cuthburt in 1989. Franks feels that Douglas could become a top player in the conference. “He’s got the talent to do it, the speed to do it, and now he’s developing the strength to do it,” Franks said. “We’ve got to continue to find ways to get the ball in his hands.” Cuthburt, the player Douglas almost overtook in the record books, ran for 149 yards the last time the Blue Devils took the field against Rice in 1992.

Although it’s been almost a decade since the two teams have met, Duke will have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the Owls on offense. Last weekend against Houston, Rice ran the ball 69 times for 354 yards in a 21-14 win, while only completing 6-of-12 passes for 42 yards.

But while Duke knows to look for the run, that doesn’t make the Owls offense any easier to defend. Rice employs a spread offense, with an occasional shotgun, wishbone, single-wing and singleback formation thrown in. Rice can also run the option and the West Coast offense. Further complicating the situation for opponents, the Owls often run a no-huddle offense, where the offense sets up at the line of scrimmage and then receives the play from the sidelines. As a result, the opposing defense can not substitute their players based on the formation. “You can’t do a lot of substitutions on defense and you have to prepare for about four or five different offense sets with the same personnel,” Franks said. “And anytime you put option in the equation it’s a tough challenge.” But after Florida State, it’s a challenge the Blue Devils are happy to accept. Notes: Freshman tailback Jamin Pastore suffered a concussion on the final play against the Seminoles. He will sit out against Rice for precautionary reasons. Saturday’s contest begins a four-game series between Duke and Rice, with the Owls next traveling to Durham in 2003. Also, this will be the first time that Duke faces a team from the Western Athletic Conference, while Rice is 3-10-1 against the ACC. Duke is THAO PARSONS/THI 7-1 against teams from Texas, including 4-0 against Rice. CHRIS DOUGLAS returns a punt in the second half of Saturday’s Duke-Florida State game,

Around the world in 80 days Duke sophomore Alana Beard traveled across the U.S., Europe and Australia while honing her basketball skills By CATHERINE SULLIVAN

The Chronicle

*£n;'

For someone who hates to fly long distances, women’s basketball star Alana Beard certainly racked up the frequent flyer miles this summer as she traveled extensively throughout the country and the world with the USA junior national team and the Duke women’s basketball team. Beard, who is the reigning national freshman of the year, spent one month at her home in Frierson, La. before traveling to Colorado for the women’s junior national team trials June 15 through 18. Tryouts were merely a formality for the talented Duke sophomore, as she averaged over 15 points per game playing for the national team the previous summer and helped it qualify for the 2001 World Junior Championships. After Beard was named to the team, she flew home for six days and then returned to Colorado for a week of training. She then traveled to Washington, D.C. for a week of scrimmages, to the Czech Republic for two weeks at the World Junior Championships, home to Louisiana for one week, to Durham to train with her Duke teammates for one week, to Australia for two weeks of competition and back to Durham just prior to the start of classes. Along the way, Beard scored a record number of points for the national junior team (28 against Russia), led her team to the bronze medal in the World Championships, was named to the AllJunior World Championship Team and

toured many famous landmarks in the Czech Republic and Australia. “I refuse to let myself feel tired,” Beard said of her demanding summer schedule. “In away that can help or it could hurt, but I never let myself think about being tired.” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors is not concerned about the amount of basketball and travel put in by her star this summer. -

Agassi defeats Federer in straight sets U.S. OPEN from page 11 volley into the corner. Rafter dug it out with a lob, but Sampras slammed an overhead for the victory. “I scrambled pretty good there at the end,” Sampras said. “I really felt like we were going to a tiebreaker, which I didn’t really look forward to playing, to be honest with you. It was nice to end it at that point.” His relief prompted an unusual celebratory outburst. As the stadium erupted, Sampras arched his

back and threw uppercuts with both fists. “It’s a huge match, playing Pat,” Sampras said. “You have to emotionally treat it like a final. At least I did. I wanted to show some emotion.” The No. 2-seeded Agassi looked just as impressive. Bidding for his third Open title, Agassi never lost serve against No. 13 Roger Federer and won 61, 6-2, 6-4. “I felt great about really every part of my game,” Agassi said.“It just was coming off my racket so solid.” Sampras leads their rivalry 17-14, but Agassi has won the past three meetings. They haven’t played at the Open since Sampras beat Agassi in the 1995 final. “[We have] a lot of history,” Agassi said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to play a high-quality level of tennis.” On the women’s side, No. 2 Jennifer Capriati moved into the Open quarterfinals for the first time since 1991, when she was 15. The winner of two Grand Slam titles already this year, Capriati erased 9-of-10 break points against her and beat Barbara Schett 6-3, 6-3. “It’s almost like I play better on those points,” Capriati said. “Maybe I just handle the pressure well. For as long as I’ve been playing, you just get used to it.” Capriati’s opponent Wednesday will be No. 8 Amelie Mauresmo of France, who edged compatriot Nathalie Tauziat 6-0, 6-7 (1), 6-3. Defending champion Venus Williams, seeded fourth, won the final 10 games of her match to beat Sandrine Testud 6-4, 6-0. Her quarterfinal opponent

will be No. 5 Kim Clijsters, who beat No. 11 Elena

Dementieva 7-5, 4-6,

6-2. On a warm, cloudless afternoon, Sampras’ familiar mannerisms were on display, from the tug of the shirt shoulder to the wipe of the brow. The booming serves and deft volleys were familiar, too. Thanks to that combination, he faced only two break points in 20 service games and erased them both. More surprising were Sampras’ lashing returns, especially with the backhand, supposedly the shot that made him vulnerable in recent months. And despite aggressive shotmaking, he committed only 14 unforced errors in two-and-a-half hours. Rafter, playing perhaps his final Grand Slam match, struggled at first to match Sampras’ level. He blew an easy high volley to lose serve in the fourth game, which cost him the opening set. In the second set he lost serve twice more, with Sampras cracking a forehand winner from three steps behind the baseline for a 4-1 lead. The near-capacity New York crowd, fearful of a three-set sweep, began to side with the Australian. “We don’t want to go home!” a fan shouted, and Rafter nodded in response. “I thought he said, ‘Do you want to go home?”’ Rafter said later with a smile. At any rate, he began to serve better, and in the tiebreaker he smacked two aces and two service winners to force a fourth set. As shadows crept across the court, another tiebreaker appeared inevitable. But Rafter opened the last game by blowing two easy volleys, and a leaping Sampras overhead set up the final point. “He was definitely the better player today,” Rafter said. “A few areas of my game weren’t real crisp, and Pete made me pay for it.” At the end of the year, Rafter, 28, plans to take a six-month break that might turn into retirement. Sampras said last week he plans to keep playing for another five years at least, which suddenly seems plausible in the wake of Monday’s performance.
