Blue Devils open season with win Hard times hit Fuqua By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

Duke began its season in impressive fashion Sunday, soundly defeating No. 7 Texas Tech 85-69 in the opening game of the 2001 State Farm Women’s Tip-Off Classic. Five Blue Devils scored in double figures, as the fourth-ranked Blue Devils (1-0) utilized a balanced attack to overwhelm the Red Raiders (0-1) and five up to their high preseason billing. “I thought overall we played a good game considering our youth, considering it was our first game,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought we handled all ofthose potentially stressful situations very, very well.” With a team-high 17 points and 10 rebounds, freshman Monique Currie dazzled in her Duke debut. Sophomore Iciss Tillis was similarly impressive, registering a double-double ofher own. But Naismith award-candidate Alana Beard had a relatively quiet game for the Blue Devils, scoring just 10 points. Her numbers paled in comparison to the hefty totals of Jia Perkins, her Texas Tech counterpart, who registered 27 points and eight rebounds in a losing effort. Beard, however, wasn’t bothered by not posting the stunning numbers to which most fans are accustomed. “I think any time we can get five or DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE six players in double figures we’re going to win the game,” Beard said. “I’m at the ALANA BEARD slashes through the lane during Duke’s 85-69 victory over Texas Tech in the State See TEXAS TECH in SpOltSWTap page 6 � Farm Classic Sunday.

corporation � After the recent economic downturn, Duke Corporate Education has cut one-fifth of its. positions and finds itself struggling to attract new clients. By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Faced with a decline in revenue, Duke Corporate Education has cut a fifth of its employees in order to meet its goal ofbreaking even for the year. In its second year, the for-profit arm of the Fuqua School of Business was forced to let 15 employees go last month after economic apprehension and travel jitters severely affected the company. Duke Corporate Education lost four of its 32 clients as a direct result of the Sept. 11 attacks and is struggling to maintain its current clientele, even as it attempts to bring in new clients. “You just can’t do executive development at the same time you’re laying off 10,000 employees,” said Blair Sheppard, Duke Corporate Education CEO, explaining that companies will be skittish about spending until they have a better idea of the economy’s future. He said that the Sept. 11 attacks and the effects they had on travel and the economy See HARD TIMES on page 5 &

WASHINGTON Osama bin Laden likely has some chemical or biological weapons, and U.S. forces have bombed some sites in Afghanistan that could have been involved in producing them, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Sunday. Rumsfeld and other top Bush administration officials said they doubt bin Laden’s al-Qaida network has a nuclear weapon, as bin Laden told a Pakistani journalist in a recent interview. “I think it’s unlikely that they have a nuclear weapon, but on the other hand, with the determination they have, they may very well,” Rumsfeld said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

The defense secretary and other officials said they were worried, however, that al-Qaida network could have weapons of mass destruction that possibly include radiological weapons— mixtures of conventional explosives and nuclear material designed to spread radiation without a nuclear

detonation.

“We have every intelligence operation practically in the world on the problem of al-Qaida and the Taliban and their weapons of mass destruction at this point,” the president’s national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said on ABC’s “This Week.” The United States has identified several sites in Afghanistan where alQaida may have been producing

weapons of mass destruction, Rumsfeld said. Some of them have been bombed, some have not and others have not been found, he said. “If we had good information on a chemical or biological development area, we would do something about it,” Rumsfeld said on CBS. “It is not an easy thing to do. We have every desire in the world to prevent the terrorists from using these capabilities.” Getting information that a site may be producing weapons of mass destruction “faces you with a situation, are you best taking it out or are you best learning more about it,”Rumsfeld said earlier on “Fox News Sunday.”

U.S. waits for takeover of Kabul

A vote-by-vote review of untallied ballots in the 2000 Florida presidential election indicates George W. Bush would have narrowly prevailed in the partial recounts sought by A1 Gore, but Gore might have reversed the outcome—by the barest of margins—had he pursued and gained a complete statewide recount. Bush eventually won Florida, and thus the White House, by 537 votes out of more than 6 million cast. But questions about the uncounted votes lingered. Almost a year after that cliffhanger conclusion, a mediasponsored review of the more than 175,000 disputed ballots underscored that the prize of the U.S. presidency came down to an almost unimaginably small number of votes. The new data, compiled by The Associated Press and seven other news organizations, also suggested that Gore

followed a legal strategy after Election Day that would have led to his defeat even if it had not been rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court. Gore sought a recount of a relatively small portion of the state’s disputed ballots while the review indicates his only chance lay in a course he advocated publicly but did not pursue in court—a full statewide recount ofall Florida’s untallied votes. “We are a nation of laws and the presidential election of 2000 is over,” Gore said Sunday in a prepared statement. “Right now, our country faces a great challenge as we seek to successfully combat terrorism. I fully support President Bush’s efforts to achieve that goal.” Said Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer: “The election was settled a year ago, President Bush won and the voters have long since moved on.” The news organizations set out to examine the ballots See

Nicholas School considers move Administrators have said they will consider the Gross Chemistry Building as a potential home for both Durham divisions of the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Although the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences is now united in name, administrators are beginning to consider consolidating the school physically as well—possibly in the Gross Chemistry Building. Dean Bill Schlesinger said he hopes the school will find space to permanently link Environmental Sciences and Policy, now located in the Levine Science Research Center, with the Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences, now in the Old Chemistry Building. Provost Peter Lange said the consolidation is important and acknowledged that placing the entire school in Gross Chem was one of several options. He said a decision will not likely come this year and that any moves involving the Nicholas School are long-term decisions. Schlesinger agreed and said he hoped to complete a move before the end of his five-year term. Schlesinger, who began his term in July, said moving to Gross Chem would be an interesting option. “It’s a hard sell,” he said. “We’re not piled on top of each other, but I’m not sure how different an old, gutted

Gross Chem will be.” Peter Haff, chair of Earth and Ocean Sciences, said he has not heard of faculty who support a move to Gross Chem. Professors confirmed that sentiment. “Basically, many or most faculty feel that the quality of space would not equal what we presently have in Old Chem or LSRC, and that in some sense, it marginalizes the environmental sciences by moving us out of this quality space,” said Bruce Corliss, professor of earth and ocean sciences. Earth and Ocean Sciences has not always been a part See NICHOLAS SCHOOL on page 7 �

THE NEW BRANCH OF HECHT’S at the Streets of Southpoint has wider aisles and better lighting, say store officials, who last week made Hecht’s the first store open at the mall.

First store at Southpoint opens doors By MEG LAWSON The Chronicle

Just in time for the winter holidays, Hecht’s department store has opened its new location at the Streets at Southpoint off 1-40 on Fayetteville Rd. Currently, it is the only store open in the mall—the others

will open in 116 days. The store opened to the general public Thursday and Director of Communications Diane Daly said, “It’s going really well. It’s been very busy.” Daly said Hecht’s plans to stock different items at this location. “We have many designers here that we do not necessarily carry at other stores,” she said. Some of the structural changes customers can expect to see are wider aisles and brighter lighting, Daly said. Customers generally agreed. “The store looks like it has a better selection than the other Hecht’s [in the areal and a better layout,” said Doug Beninate. Fran Muse has already been to the store twice and said she will likely return because of the store’s proximity to her home. “I’ll be coming here over the next few months before the rest of the mall opens,”

she said.

Muse said the early opening is not likely to make her shop at Hecht’s more often after the other stores are open. Patsy Lafoe said while she had trouble finding a sales associate, her experience was good overall. “It’s lovely; it’s wonderful,” she said. Lafoe’s friend Shirley Griffin praised the store for being bright, clean and

well laid out.

New sales associate Joyce Stone is pleased with her part-time job at Southpoint. “I have an office job and I sit all the time,” she said. “Here, it’s new faces all the time.” She got the job because she feared she would be laid off from her full-time position at another company. “I felt like before it happened, I’d want to do something to keep me busy.” The United Way and its participating agencies sold approximately 3,800 tickets, raising $20,000, for a limited opening last Wednesday that allowed customers to preview the store before the official grand opening, said Daly. Overall, Daly said Hecht’s is happy with the new location. “We feel like we were right on,” Daly said. “We feel like the customers and the community is happy we’re here.”

Review calculates results using different standards � ELECTION from page 2 set aside as either undervotes or over-

votes. Undervotes involved about 62,000 ballots where voting machines were unable to detect a choice for any presidential candidate, while about 113,000 overvotes were read by machines as possibly containing more than one choice. Since the legal wrangling focused on how votes were defined, the media-sponsored review did, too, calculating results under different standards—for example, whether to count as votes “hanging chads” on punch-card ballots or ballots marked with an “X” instead of the required filledin oval on optical scan ballots. Under any standard that tabulated all disputed votes statewide, Gore erased Bush’s advantage and emerged with a

tiny lead that ranged from 42 to 171 votes. Completing two partial recounts that Gore unsuccessfully pursued in court showed Bush maintaining a lead ranging between 225 and 493 votes. Strikingly, all these outcomes were closer than even the narrow 537 votes of Bush’s official victory. With numbers that tiny, experts said it would be impossible to interpret the survey results as definitive. The Florida election review was developed by the AP, CNN, The New York Times, The Palm Beach Post, The St. Petersburg Times, Tribune Publishing, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. Tribune newspapers include the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, the Orlando Sentinel and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Ft. Lauderdale.

Volleyball clinches ACC title with win over Deacs By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle The last time the Duke volleyball

team won the ACC championship, Grant Hill had just taken the basketball team to the NCAA Finals. It has been seven years since the Blue Devils have won a regular-season conference championship and they waited until the last moments of game five against Wake Forest to clinch their first-place finish. North Carolina gave Duke the opportunity to win the ACC by losing to Florida State Friday night. The loss put the Tar Heels one half game back behind the Blue Devils. Duke began game one at WinstonSalem, N.C., looking like a team that did not deserve to win the ACC championship, falling 30-16 to the Demon Deacons and hitting a lowly .121 average. Their decisions on the court were

questionable and sophomore Krista Dill said this may have been attributed to added pressure after the UNC loss Friday. “We came out and everyone was flustered,” Dill said. “Our fundamentals weren’t there and we weren’t making good decisions on the court.” After a short break, the Blue Devils won the second frame easily, capitalizing on Wake Forest’s mistakes en route to a 30-18 win. Duke improved its hitting percentage to .429 while the Demon Deacons fell to .056 in a lackluster performance. Sophomore setter Arielle Linderman, who had 37 assists and 13 digs, knew her opponent gave the Blue Devils the second game with several errors. “In game one, we made all the mistakes, and in game two, Wake made all

the mistakes,” Linderman said. “It was like we reversed roles.” To start the third game, Duke and Wake Forest played evenly, but the Demon Deacons used a late surge to beat the Blue Devils 30-24 and take a 2-1 lead. Between games, Duke re*grouped and knew it had to win the next two games or else it would tie UNC for the ACC championship. “We all knew it was the last game of the season and we could win the ACCs,” Dill said. “We put ourselves in this position throughout conference play. It wasn’t just this one match that determines it.” The fourth frame of the night played very similar to game two for Duke, who once again hit well and used Wake Forest’s mental lapses to its advantage. After a 30-21 win, the match shifted to a fifth and final game that is played to 15. Duke came out very aggressive and jumped ahead of Wake Forest, using Jill Sonne’s team-high 14 kills to propel the team to a 15-6 victory. For now, the Blue Devils can savor the taste of victory, but the ACC tournament stands ahead of them and that championship is yet another goal for the team who still has to beat UNC this season. Linderman knows there are some skeptics who are not sure whether her team deserves its first-place seeding in next weekend’s tournament. “After losing to UNC twice in the regular season some people will say ‘Should Duke really be in first place?”’ Linderman said. “We want to go out and beat UNC next week to show we deserve to be first.” As for North Carolina faltering

Wrestler Hoang finishes in third place at West Virginia Open By MICHAELJACOBSON The Chronicle

The lighter-weights led the way for the Blue Devils Saturday in Charleston. Four Duke wrestlers, including three in the lowest two weight classes, posted four wins or more in the West Virginia Open this past weekend. The tournament, which featured perennial top-25 contenders Penn State and Lock Haven as well as ACC rivals Maryland and Virginia, was the first action for the Blue Devils this season. “I thought we did well, we were well conditioned,” 184-pound sophomore Frank Comely said. Comely went 2-2 on the day for the Blue Devils. “Most of the guys were a round away from placing. This is some of the toughest competition we’ll face all season.” senior One-hundred-and-twenty-five-pound Tommy Hoang, a returning NCAA qualifier, got the team started by posting 5-1 record en route to a third place finish, the highest place for the Blue Devils on the day. Hoang faced Penn State’s Adam Smith twice in the tournament, coming away with a 10-4 victory in the championship quarterfinals and then besting Smith again 13-8 in the consolation finals. Hoang’s only loss, a 7-3 decision to host West Virginia’s Ricky LaForge, came in the championship semifinals. LaForge, a freshman who is considered one of the best lighter-weight recruits in the country, took second place in the high school national championships last spring. Senior Stuart Holzer (133) went 4-2 on the day including a fall at 3:18 over West Liberty’s Jason Basso during wrestle backs. Holzer, who saw limited action at 125-pounds a year ago behind Hoang, will be competing for mat time this season with junior Andy Soliman. Soliman competed at 133-pound class Saturday in Charleston as well, going 4-2 with a 54 second pin. Junior Mike Mitchell, who was injured all of last season, was one of two Duke wrestlers to place in the deep 165-pound weight class. Mitchell posted a 5-2 mark on the day, with both losses coming to eventual third-place winner Adam Regabato, who wrestled unattached. Senior Matt Hoover took fourth in the weight class, also

TOMMY HOANG posted a 5-1 record at the West Virginia Open, good enough for a third-place finish in his weight class. losing to Regabato in the consolation finals. Hoover won three matches and lost two for the Blue Devils. “Mitchell and Hoover were amazing. I was really impressed,” Comely added. “Mike wrestled four matches in a 45-minute period. They kept calling his name [to wres-

tle his next match] and he just wouldn’t stop going.” The 133- and 165-pound weight classes should prove

to be two ofDuke’s deepest and most talented. Although

neither weight has a returning starter, both have ample substitutes that will help the Blue Devils this season. Out of the 16 Duke wrestlers that competed this

weekend, 12 came away with multiple victories. The tournament is one of several early-bird tournaments that the Blue Devils will compete in this fall. In earlybird and open competition, wrestlers compete either for their school or unattached, but either way their performance has no bearing on the team’s record for the upcoming season. “Overall, everyone did pretty well,” Comely said of the team’s performance Saturday. “This weekend was tough, but I think next weekend [at Pennsylvania’s Keystone Classic] will be the toughest all season.”

Men’s cross country earns NCAA berth with strong showing By COLIN KENNEDY The Chronicle

Ogilvie said. Four Duke runners—the most ever—finished in the top 25 and earned AllRegion status. The women’s cross country team, on the other hand, had another disappointing day, finishing in fifth place. Although its best runner, junior Sheela Agrawal, was redshirted this year, the team still expected to make Nationals. “We had the talent to make it even without Sheela,” coach Jan SamuelsonOgilvie said. “But we had some unfortunate things happen. Senior Maddy Woodmansee had to drop out with a side cramp, and everyone did not run their best times.” Finishing first again was freshman Paige Miller, who recorded a time of 22:23, good enough for 21st overall. Immediately behind Miller was fellow freshman Paris Edwards (22:25), and only five seconds later, a third freshman, Meaghan Leon, finished in 26th place. Rounding out Duke’s top five were senior captain Katie Atlas (40th, 22:50) and sophomore Heidi Hullinger (53rd, 23:12). “Those three freshmen have been numbers one-two-three for us all year,and that is a lot to ask of inexperienced runners,” Samuelson-Ogilvie said. ‘We knew what we had to do; we just couldn’t finish it off.” Despite their disappointment, the women will still return an extremely talented squad next year. “We just have to look forward to the ECAC Championships next weekend, where we should realistically win,” Samuelson-Ogilvie said. “We are getting ready for indoor track, which starts in December and taking this fall season as a lesson to our young runners: Don’t let this happen again.”

DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

JARED MOORE finished 22nd in the NCAA Southeast Regional Meet. The men’s team finished in fourth place while the women ended up in fifth.

Although it will not become official until later today, the men’s cross country team earned a berth into the NCAA National meet via its fourth-place performance in the NCAA Regional Meet, held this past Saturday at Furman University. At-large bids are determined by a formula, and Duke will receive either the sixth or seventh at-large bid to the national competition. “It was a landmark day for us,” men’s coach Norm Ogilvie said. “Our number one, two, four, five, six and seven runners each ran the best times that those number runners ever have for us. It was our best day ever on that course, a course we have been running for over 20 years.” Finishing first for Duke and second overall was senior captain Sean Kelly. For the second year in row, Kelly was the top runner from the ACC. With a time of 30:21, he finished 24 seconds faster than last year and projects to be an All-American in the National meet. Sophomore Chris Williams finished sixth overall in 30:35, by far the best race of his career. Running ten seconds faster than last year, Williams has an outside shot at also becoming an All-American. The tandem of Michael Hatch and Jared Moore came in 21st and 22nd, respectively, with times of 31:10 and 31:22. Hatch’s race was the fastest ever by a Duke freshman running at Furman. Senior Jim Martin was the fifth man, scoring with the team for the first time in his career. “It was a great cap to his cross country career,” said Ogilvie of Martin’s 31:48 performance. The team did all this without direct contributions from two if their best runners, freshmen Nick Schneider and Robert Smitson. Earlier this season Schneider and Smitson were the number two and three runners, but both have suffered injuries. Schneider is done for the cross coun-

try season with shin splints, while Smitson separated his shoulder last week, and was held to finishing sixth for Duke. “Other guys who were unsung heroes earlier this season really stepped up. It is a great tribute to these guys,”

They came right back at us.” While acknowledging the Red Raiders’ tenacity, Duke’s coach also pointed to several mental lapses as reasons for Duke’s inability to put away Texas Tech, who would eventually claw to within 11 points with two minutes remaining. “I was just very frustrated because

The Red Raiders began the second we lost our focus,” Goestenkors said. half with noticeable ferocity, attacking “Anytime you miss layups, turn the basthe glass and generally outhustling the ketball over, which we did, and miss box Blue Devils to every loose ball.

eats Red Raiders 85-69 in State Farm Classic Freshman Currie shines in Duke’s season opener against Texas Tech For the second year in a row, a freshman was the team’s leading scorer in the No. 5 Duke women’s basketball team season opener. Last year, Alana Beard scored 15 as the Blue Devils beat UCLA

in Albuquerque, N.M. This year, with Beard moved to point guard and too busy dishing out six assists while being blanketed by Texas Tech’s Jia Perkins to lead the team in scoring, Monique Currie led Duke with 17 points. She also grabbed 10 rebounds and five steals. “I thought she did a great job,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She needed to do two things: drive to the basket and rebound. And I think we saw both of those today. I think she did a great job attacking the basket on the offensive end, and rebounding, especially

on the defensive end.” Soon after coming off the bench for Rometra Craig, Currie assisted on Michele Matyasovsky’s three pointer—Duke’s sole trey of the afternoon. On the following possession, she converted a difficult Beard entry pass into two points with a contested layup. And that was just the beginning. Currie spent the half driving, sinking floaters, fighting for offensive rebounds inside, setting up teammates and cleaning the defensive glass. Craig, who finished with four points in 13 minutes, playing only half the time that Currie did, started the second half, but was yanked by Goestenkors less than two minutes into play.

“The first thing she did was miss a box out at the other end and they scored a basket because she did not box out,” Goestenkors said. “Then she came down and we actually had a give-and-go for her for a layup, but instead she chose to stay out on the perimeter and do a step-back three-pointer. “That was not what we had talked about—not what we wanted to do—so I was very frustrated because I felt like she wasn’t ready to play at the beginning of the second half.” Enter Currie. The freshman grabbed the next rebound, and after a Duke miss, found herself along with Iciss Tillis trapping Tech’s Naismith candidate center, Plenette Pierson. The ball popped loose, Currie grabbed it and scored an easy layup—the first points of the second half. A few possessions later, Currie stood at the three-point line, dribbling. She crouched slightly, ducked her head, and in the blink of an eye, was diving towards the basket, throwing up an acrobatic layup amidst hacking and suddenly out-of-position Tech defenders. The shot was good; the ensuing free throw was not. But the bonus was irrelevant —the damage had been done by the shot. From the other side of the court, Tillis was gripped in epileptic mania and could have been called for a technical foul for celebratory violence inflicted against her own team’s huddle. The crowd reached a fevered pitch seldom heard at women’s games. A Duke run had been started. After the Red Raiders responded with a couple of free throws, Duke, stretching the lead to 62-40, rolled off the next 12 points, including two from a fast break layup by Currie. “I definitely like to run the floor,” she said. “I like to get up the floor and Coach G tells us whenever we get the fast break to run our fast break. As hard as we work in the preseason getting in shape, we can just run all game.” In shape though they may be, the Blue Devils slowed down after the run and allowed Texas Tech to cut the lead to 11 with 2:21 remaining. Currie and her teammates, realizing the game was in jeopardy, rededicated themselves to playing basketball. In the final 2:31, Currie had three points, two steals, two rebounds and a block. The most impressive of these plays came with slightly less than a minute remaining when Currie blocked Perkins’ shot, grabbed the rebound, raced the length of the court and tried an up-and-under move on Jolee Ayers. The basket was no good, but Ayers was forced to foul and Currie converted both free throws. Texas Tech coach Marsha Sharp was impressed by Currie. “Certainly she’s going to be an immediate contributor to what they’re doing,” the 20-year veteran said. “[Shel had a great day. I thought she really played solid as a freshman and made some big plays for them.” Currie’s own coach had similar comments about the freshman who led her team in scoring, yet committed no turnovers and just one personal foul.

“I thought Monique had a tremendous game,” Goestenkors. “She handled herself very well. She played like a veteran. She did not play like a freshman.” Though maybe, considering last year’s contributions from Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis at times, she played like a Duke freshman.

Men’s swimming defeats ODU, Towson State over weekend By CLINTON McHUGH The Chronicle

After spending four-and-a-half hours on a bus to arrive at a facility that bears a remarkable resemblance to a dungeon, the men’s swimming and diving team finally got to enjoy its first win ofthe season over the weekend. In fact, they liked it so much they decided to make it a double.The swimmers swept through Old Dominion and Towson State at a tri-meet in Norfolk Saturday, defeating the Monarchs by a score of 132-100 and crushing the Tigers 153-77. “It was definitely good to get some wins under our belt, since we’ve swum a pretty tough early-season schedule,” senior captain Ryan Harsch said. “Our focus has been on the Nike Cup coming up next week, so we weren’t as prepared as we could have been, but our team showed a lot of guts this weekend.” The men were led to victory by a freshman, Teddy Heifers, who swept Old Dominion and Towson to win close races in both distance events. Heifers finished first in the 1,000-yard freestyle with a time of 9:47.28, and captured the 500-yard freestyle in 4:45.57. “I was really pleased with how everyone swam,” Heifers said. “We just put in a hard week of training, and I think everyone needed a morale boost. I’m glad I was able to perform on Saturday to help contribute to these wins.” Senior captain Chris Fleizach emerged victorious from the 200-yard butterfly,

winning with his time of 1:56.73. Junior Ryan Spoon once again won the 200-yard breaststroke, finishing first in 2:08.73. “We competed very well, picking up a pair of wins despite less than ideal conditions,” Spoon said. “Fliezach and Heifers

really helped us pull out a victory against an Old Dominion team that’s usually very competitive with us. I was very impressed with how they swam.” The women’s sophomore class continued to display its talent, leading the team to victory over the Tigers. Lauren Comet and Amy Halligan each recorded a win and a second-place finish in the meet. Despite their efforts, the Blue Devils were unable to complete their come-frombehind win against the Lady Monarch’s, losing by only two points after the end of the final relay. “It was a thrilling meet through the last event with ODU,” junior Kristina Koehler said. “Unfortunately we lost, but we still swam pretty well considering how hard we’re training. Most of our focus is on next weekend’s Nike Cup, and our preparation has left us very tired during the last week.” Comet continued her winning streak in the 200-yard breaststroke, winning in a time of 2:20.25. She also finished second in the 50yard freestyle with a time of 24:75. Halligan won the 200-yard butterfly in 2:07.80 and touched second in the 200-yard IM (2:10.35) behind Sarah Mooney of Old Dominion. “I was a little disappointed after finishing second in the 200 IM,” Halligan said. “I knew how close the meet was though, and we desperately needed points to catch up. I gave an all out effort in the fly and was able to win the event to even out the score, but unfortunately we came up short in the end.” The men’s double win and the women’s split have together left both teams with an identical 2-4 record. The swimmers will spend the rest ofthis week preparing for the NCAA Nike Cup Invitational in Chapel Hill November 15-17, in which they hope to improve on last year’s fifth-place finishes.

McCain makes it to semis in Dallas By ADRIENNE MERCER The Chronicle

THE DUKE ROWING TEAM won the Novice Eight race at the Rivanna Romp Regatta in Charlottesville, Va.

Rowing fares well at Rivanna Romp By CHRISTINA PETERSEN The Chronicle

Fresh off Nov. 3’s third-consecutive Head of the Chattahoochee title, the Duke women’s rowing team headed to Charlottesville, Va., for the Rivanna Romp, for its strongest overall showing ever at the event. The regatta included such competition as ACC rivals Clemson and host Virginia, national powers Syracuse, Ohio State and Georgetown. Last season, Ohio State and Virginia placed fourth and seventh, respectively, in the NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships, while Syracuse rowed strongly to a sixth-place finish in the varsity eight competition. “Ohio State, Virginia and Syracuse were all at nationals last year and we’ve been going back and forth with Clemson this season,” coach Robyn Horner said of the field of competition. The premier event of the regatta, the varsity eight, disappointed early, as Duke placed sixth, ninth and 12th. Last season, the varsity 8+ boat finished fourth against the same field. Yet the most notable aspect of

the eight head race was not the Blue Devils’ finish, but the fact that Duke fielded three separate boats. “We’re faster than we were last year,” Horner said, “and much deeper. We can push each other this year because we have more than just the first boat in competition.” In the novice eights, Duke pulled off the upset, with the freshman boat winning its first race at the Romp. Finally, the Blue Devils placed third in the varsity fours, besting last season’s fourth-place finish. In seasons past, the Romp has functioned as Duke’s last test before heading into winter training, where the Blue Devils must work on their speed and endurance for the spring season. With the strong showing in Charlottesville, Duke closes the fall season with a good indication of what it has to improve on. “We’re trying to figure out our goals for the spring,” Homer said. “We realize we have to continue to work hard. As we grow closer to other teams [in competition] we also realize that if we keep notching it up a ,

bit, we can compete with them.”

Duke in Greece II

The women’s tennis fall season ended Saturday, in the last tournament of the year, the Omni Hotels National Indoors, held at the Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch, Texas. Duke freshman Kelly McCain was the only Blue Devil who advanced farther than the second round at the tournament. This was her second semifinal tournament appearance of the season. McCain suffered her loss in the semifinals to third-seed Bea Bielik of Wake Forest, 3-6, 1-6. McCain and Duke junior Julie De Roo also played in the doubles competition. “I thought I played really well,” McCain said. “[De Roo and I] have been working together. I don’tknow if we’ll stay together, but so far we’ve been doing fine. We’re two small people on the court, so that can be troublesome at times.” The tournament is the nation’s most prestigious collegiate indoor tennis tournament. Over 600 schools compete in it, and it contains a 32-player singles field and a 16-team doubles field, making competition extremely tough. McCain is at present ranked 49th nationally in the preseason. In the quarterfinals of the tournament, the freshman upset No. 1 seed Jessica Lehnhoff of Stanford 6-2, 6-3. The freshman continued the Blue Devils’ streak of having at least one player in the semifinals. Last year, Duke senior Kathy Sell advanced to the semifinals, and then-freshman Ansley Cargill made it to the final. Duke players Amanda Johnson and Deßoo also competed in the Omni Hotels Tournament. Johnson defeated Alexis Gordon 6-1, 7-6 in the first round of the singles consolation. Jessica Rush ofNorthwestern beat Deßoo 3-6,1-6. In the second round, Johnson fell 5-7,60, 5-7 in an upset to Courtney Bergman ofHarvard. “I am pretty excited right now,” McCain said. “Everything is clicking as I am playing pretty well right now. I want t0... eventually win one of these tournaments.”

ST. LOUIS Marshall Faulk returned to the lineup after missing three weeks with a bruised right knee and ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns in just one half in St. Louis’ victory over Carolina. Faulk’s backup, Trung Canidate, had 145 yards on 16 carries, including a 23-yard touchdown run. The Rams (7-1), coming off their bye, ran out to a 31-0 second-quarter lead. The start was reminiscent oftheir last game, when they led the Saints 246 at the break but lost 34-31 under an avalanche of eight turnovers.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Curtis Martin, the NFL’s top rusher, ran for 113 yards and three touchdowns to lead New York over Kansas City.

Brunell played on a gimpy leg, but still threw for 189 yards. Mack had 71 yards on 15 carries, and Jimmy Smith had eight catches for 63 yards and a touchdown.

Darrien Gordon had punt returns of ATLANTA 74 and 41 yards in the fourth quarter, setting up a touchdown and a field goal that carried Atlanta to a sloppy victory over Dallas.

Nicholas School divisions Trask: Trinity Heights may may move to Gross Chem serve as model for future NICHOLAS SCHOOL from page 3 of the Nicholas School; it was included in the school just four years ago, amidst heated debate. An external review conducted in early 2000 reported that there was still an intellectual divide between the two sets of faculty. In an effort to be more inclusive, administrators changed the name of the Nicholas School to include Earth and Ocean Sciences last year. Haff said that if there are faculty with similar interests who want to work together, they will do so regardless of location. But he added that it was important to move closer to the rest of the school. “There are other forces operating that will decide where divisions and departments are going to go,” he said. “Those waves are going on above my head.... But what I don’t want to do is make a precipitous move from here to somewhere else.” The problem with moving either division has to do with the current quality of space. Although many departments at the University struggle with space constraints, Schlesinger said the school’s

“This is one of those projects that is so clearly a win-win in any way you can imagine,” said John Burness, Duke senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “There was concern that there would only be faculty and staff living there, but that was for us a deal-breaker.” The development has had opponents. Local residents criticized the original plan, citing a parking crunch and environmental concerns with the lot they had used as a park. Eventual-

ly, University administrators agreed to preserve two trees older than 100 years old, maintain some open space and provide off-street parking. Residents unanimously agreed to the plan in the fall of 1998. This is not the first time faculty and staff have been housed on or near campus. Many of the buildings on Campus Drive were built as homes for professors, largely to attract top faculty from other schools, but Trinity Heights may serve as a model for similar projects in the future, said Tallman Trask, executive vice president, suggesting Central Campus as a possible location.

ity department, has more undergraduates than the rest of the [Nicholas] School,” Haff said. “It makes sense for it to be located nearer the center of the undergraduate campus.” Schlesinger agreed that new space for the school must not come at the loss of the current space’s quality. Many professors echoed that sentiment. “The location where we presently are promotes interdisciplinary interactions with other groups, so that’s an advantage of staying where we are, or being combined into LSRC,” Corliss said. “I assume it would cost quite a bit ofmoney to renovate Gross Chem. IVmight be better spent adding a wing onto LSRC.”

Refocusing the Oak Room

After

a series ofrenovations, dining officials reopened the historic Oak Room earlier this year under new management. Its return is a welcome addition to a campus with no other sitdown options. The restaurant must now rediscover its identity as an alternative aimed at students. The establishment has raised prices about 25 percent since reopening, and the menu has shrunk, prompting some student criticism. Meanwhile, officials have talked about making the restaurant a viable upscale option for Durham residents, but that desire comes at the expense of student customers. Upscale comes in degrees, and officials should remember that the Oak Room exists as a dining alternative for the Duke community first and foremost. Although officials say it is too early to tell if revenue will fall permanently—it was down about 5 percent in the first month—they must pay attention to the interests of students. The small size of the kitchen limits the meals the staff can prepare, giving the restaurant even more reason to seek student feedback—either directly or through the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee. The Oak Room has a place on campus, and dining officials must give the restaurant a chance to succeed. They have already said they intend to garner feedback on the restaurant, and it is important that such feedback be taken into account.

Pro-environment dining Protecting

the environment remains an important issue, but this cause is often ignored in practical application. Even small steps that involve a little inconvenience but have potentially large benefits are worthwhile in daily practice. One example of this is eliminating the use of foam by the University’s dining facilities. Foam provides good insulation for food and keeps grease and liquids from seeping through, but this material also is a human cre-

ation that is reused too little and does not decompose naturally. Even if alternatives to foam are more expensive, campus eateries should switch to more environmentally friendly containers. Although some have cited inconvenience as another reason not to make the change, this justification is a poor excuse to let this waste pile up in landfills. There is no excuse for foam use at a University that makes a point ofrecycling, even placing multiple bins at almost every corner and instituting a rule that prohibits discarding recyclable materials. Fortunately, some establishments, such as Alpine Bagels and Brews, are already moving away from using foam in favor of paper alternatives, and the eatery is exploring other alternatives for hot liquids such as soup and coffee. Such actions are a laudable example of a business that goes beyond the bottom line to help society as a whole. Ultimately, on a campus where most of dining is run by individual vendors, the decision to switch to less environmentally harmful containers in the interim is dependent upon the willingness ofthese establishments. If they show little movement, perhaps Dining Services officials should consider making the use of environmentally safe materials part of terms involved in dining contracts.

Bridge paintings covered worthwhile announcement Two weekends ago, members of the blood services committee of the Red Cross

Club painted the bridge to advertise the blood drive that will take place this week. Yet

the weekday traffic between campuses did not get to see our display. Within 24 hours our text had been replaced with a lewd drawing, and our appointment site address,

www.givebloodatduke.org, had been edited. Even overlooking the inappropriateness of your—the bridge painters’—design, I am bothered by the blatant disrespect of your actions. Among student groups, there is an understood courtesy that a bridge design will not be painted over before the date of the advertised event.

painting and other forms of publicity accrue to a price that most definitely cuts into our organization’s funds. Furthermore, bridge painting obviously entails a certain amount of time and energy. I expect that you can comprehend our frustration in knowing that these two resources were also wasted Sunday. Many thanks to those who were willing to put—what should have been unnecessary—extra time and energy into advertising the blood drive. We have repainted the bridge. And so artists, if you must, please wait to showcase your creativity.

New Oak Room provides adequate menu to patrons I was surprised at Matthew Burton’s Nov. 6 letter since lam a regular customer at the Oak Room. I think his experience was atypical. He seems to base his evaluation on one visit, which seems a little unfair. I have tried most of the items—I look forward to the shrimp and grits. All are excellent, including the macaroni and cheese. As to the portions, I am never able to finish an entree, and I. am a big eater, There are few high-quality restaurants that serve portions so large.

We all use the bridge for the same purpose—it’s like a great billboard that can easily advertise an event to all Duke students. We do not expect to see our designs immediately defaced. What adds insult to injury is that the Red Cross Club is not advertising a party, a social gathering or even a lecture. We are advertising a blood drive. We are trying to promote an opportunity for Duke students and staff to save lives. It disappoints me that some students may not respect this. And yet your artwork does more than just disappoint. It intensifies the practical problems that a club faces. Duke may be a wealthy school, but a club’s financial resources are not limitless. Bridge

this weekend routine is not the drinking culture but the administration’s seemingly hypocritical stance on the issue. Resident advisers on East Campus are required to write-up freshman any returning to East whom they suspect may have been

drinking on West. Interestingly enough, frat parties are freely and invasively advertised on shirts, the Bryan Center walkway, fliers and through word of

mouth

to all students. Without a doubt, the admin-

istration is fully aware that both freshmen and underage upperclassmen attend these parties. Thus, I am appalled at the hypocrisy of the administration. Frats and other sorts of parties are known to be the center of Duke’s weekend social climate. Freshmen are

going to continue drinking at them. Why should resident advisers write up a freshman who walks “tipsily” back into his or her room to sleep the rest of the night? Should he or she just crash on the floor of some random room on West? Should freshmen be penalized for participating in frat parties that continue to be well-publicized, rarely regulated and remain dominant in Duke students’

social life? If the administration is altogether trying to decrease under-age drinking, it needs to address greater issues of the weekend social life at this university. Punishing freshmen for wan-

dering back to their rooms intoxicated is not a fair or manageable solution. Christopher

Protective measures that go too far Recent law s intended to combat terrorism intrude on American liberties

Campus interviewer pretends company actually has openings DURHAM, N.C. Amanda Langston, an on-campus recruiter for a company I’ll refer to as “IBM” for the purposes of this article, finds it “fun and exciting” to pretend her company might realistically hire some of the students she interviews. jJWfc Whereas many companies decided to forego their usual stops at major universifies such as Duke this year due to plpil jjm a lack of job openings, “IBM” has devised an intricate set of illusions and ploys to be executed by its onSparky campus interviewers in order to avoid McOueen the embarrassment of admitting Monda Monday weakness in the economic downturn. “First of all, the economy is really bad. I don’t think anyone doubts that,” said Langston. “I mean, really bad. The layoff-to-new-hire ratio is close to 300 to 1. Put it this way, I participated in a Q-and-A panel discussion with recruiters from Cisco, Sun, DuPont and Exxon about a month ago over in the Teer building and two of the panelists were jobless by the time the thing was over. My company, however, has decided that instead of losing face by admitting there are no jobs to be had, we’ll just pretend that it’s the same as any other year and interview people for jobs that don’t exist.” “The HR department drew up a ‘How to Conduct an Interview for a Position that Doesn’t Exist’ booklet, which can be pretty helpful when you’re not feeling very saucy, and you just want to get it over with. It’s got a fairly boring step-by-step approach to conducting such an interview, but most of the time, I like to get into it,” said Langston. “My favorite thing to do is act like I’m getting a cell phone call in the middle of an interview and say things like, ‘Yes, sir.... Oh, I *

see.... We’re going to need a lot of people for that,’ and make specific references to particular skills the interviewee has listed on his resume. That always works

pretty well.” But the students are not stupid, she says. “Most students know that we are in the midst of an economic crisis right now. They understand that a number of companies have had to scale their recruiting back or cut it off completely. Sometimes they want to know how it is that we can still hire people when so many other companies have folded. Usually, I feed them some bull s— about how my company is big enough to have a consistent number of new hires each year—like size makes a difference—and how we try to pace ourselves in the hiring process to avoid chasing tech bubbles or succumbing to downturns. If the student is

Now we can just hypnotize or drug them and slip the helmet on. The entire simulation only takes 15 minutes. really perceptive, I can move to Plan B and say my company just got a new defense contract in light of the

new war on terrorism.” “The main problem our hiring hoax is facing right now is the lack of second interviews. If you interview 30 Duke students over the course of two days and you don’t give anybody a second round interview, you’ve got a problem. Chances are, a lot of these guys have

classes together and talk amongst themselves about who got a second interview and who didn’t. With so few companies even coming to campus, you can bet they’ll notice if no one gets flown to a second round interview somewhere.” To deal with the problem, “IBM” has devoted an entire research and development division to solving the “second round dilemma.” According to Langston, they’ve devised a virtual-reality helmet that simulates the feeling of going to the airport, getting on a plane, and having an interview somewhere. They’ve apparently perfected the technology to the point that the “recruit” has no idea he is wearing a helmet and not really at an interview. “To get around the problem in the past,” said Langston, “we used to fly two or three students per school to a bogus second round interview, but we found that it really wasn’t cost-effective once you factor in all the plane tickets and personnel-hours required for that many interviews. We also felt that it wasn’t really fair to the student to be flown halfway across the country to a fake interview when they could be in class. Now we can just hypnotize or drug them and slip the helmet on. The entire simulation only takes 15 minutes. And I know what you’re thinking, ‘How can they think they’ve been gone to an interview for a full day when it only takes 15 minutes?’ All I know is it makes sense to them. And if someone starts saying things like, ‘You didn’t fly to Houston on Saturday, Johnny. We had lunch together, remember?’ then the student will self-destruct. It’s pretty much fail-safe.”
