Alcohol-related ER visits fall Northern alliance University also experiences increase in reported alcohol violations By VICTORIA KAPLAN The Chronicle
After a sharp increase over the last two years, the number of undergraduates visiting the emergency room for alcohol consumption has dropped significantly so far this semester. Meanwhile, the number of alcohol-related judicial violations has increased, especially among freshmen. There have been 18 alcohol-related visits to the emergency room this year, compared with 28 last year, and alcohol violation reports have increased from 61 to 95; the number of freshman violations has nearly doubled, from 42 to 80. The reason for the swings is not clear, but administrators offer several possible contributing factors. They hope the increase in violation reports reflects a more widespread enforcement of rules, and that the decrease in ER visits is due to changes in the alcohol policy. “You’re asking me to look into a crystal ball and analyze a very complex situation,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs. “Because of the complexity of alcohol consumption and alcohol abuse, it’s impossible, for me at least, to come up with a cause and effect.” Wasiolek and other administrators suggested that several changes may have made the social climate safer for See ALCOHOL on page 8 �

THE DUKE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT has received fewer visits from undergraduates at the University than it had at this time last year.
KABUL, Afghanistan—Afghans brought theirradios out of hiding and played music in the streets, savoring the end of five years of harsh Taliban rule as the northern alliance marched triumphantly into Afghanistan’s capital Tuesday. Diplomats sought UN. help in fashioning a government for the shattered country. American jets still prowled the skies in the south, seeking out convoys of Taliban fighters retreating toward Kandahar, the Islamic militants’ last major stronghold. Strikes also targeted caves where members of terror suspect Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network were thought to be hiding Alliance troops celebrated the capture of the prize they had been fighting for since they were driven out by the Taliban in 1996. A small number of US. troops were on hand to advise them. The dizzying cascade of events in Afghanistan turned the opposition into the country’s chief power overnight—and brought to the forefront the issue of ensuring that it shares power. The United States and its allies want a government that includes groups the ethnic minorities that make up the alliance and the Pashtuns, the country’s largest ethnic group. The alliance leaders said they had deployed 3,000 See KABUL on page 7 P-

tion to added financial responsibilities—such as paying her tuition Parrish has found it difficult to talk with other students about her mother’s death. At a school where achievement is emphasized, many students say they feel alone in having to come to terms with such tragic struggles. “Duke is really a perfectionist school, and everyone strives to be so ‘top-10,”’ Reinen said. “More so than just academically, they strive for allaround perfection, great grades, personality, athletics, et cetera. I felt that I stood out because there was something wrong with my life.... I felt more alienated.” Students walk a fine line between balancing the desire to talk openly with their friends about their loss with the desire to remain inconspicuous. “The last thing I want to do is run around and tell people,” Reinen said. “You don’t have the time, emotionally or logically.

In private talks, a special White House tour and an East Room news conference, the leaders opened a 3-day visit that will focus on the budding U.S.-Russian alliance against terrorism and nagging differences over the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. The talks move today to Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, where U.S. officials held out some hope for accord on the missile shield issue. Both leaders indicated their relationship had buried vestiges of the Cold War, drawn together by their need to fight terrorism. Putin urged his own citizens to stop looking at American relations “from the old standpoint, distrust and the enmity.” On the question of allowing U.S. forces to use Central Asia as a base into Afghanistan, the Putin said: “We have nothing to be afraid of.”

University revitalizes fund for security at events
The fund helps groups pay for security costs and draws its money from last year’s Alcohol Task Force. p
By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle As the Experience Music Project Electric Bus continues to rock in the Beta parking lot on West Campus, the cost of providing security for the week-long event adds up. Although the University has requested that EMP reimburse some of the $4,500 needed to pay police officers on duty, the majority of the cost will be covered by an event security fund long in place at the University, but recently
revitalized. The fund—managed by the Event Advising Center in the Bryan Center—has an annual budget of $40,000 and is available for all student events
that require security. The money for this year’s fund was left over from last year’s Alcohol Task Force, said Assistant Vice President of
Student Affair Sue Wasiolek. The Undergraduate Social Space Committee recommended that the fund fully subsidize security costs. The fund will now also cover the cost of Emergency Medical Service staff at parties, whose presence was mandated by the University in October. The Duke University Police Department requires a minimum of two officers at any party or event held anywhere outside of a dormitory commons room, Maj. Bumice Parker said. All events that take place in the Devil’s Den on Central Campus, the Great Hall and Page Auditorium, among others, require security.
CORRECTION In a page 1 article of the Nov. 8 edition, The Chronicle incorrectly reported that sophomore Mike Sacks is the lead singer for The Point. He is the band’s bassist.
JAMES HERRIOTT/THE CHRONICLE
A SECURITY OFFICER stands guard outside the Experience Magic Project Electric Bus, which sits in the Beta parking lot on West Campus, “The officers are there for safety and to make sure everything is under control,” Parker said. Officers on security duty cost $35 per hour, a price that increases an event’s overall budget by several hundred dollars. However, the event security fund subsidizes all of the cost. “I don’t hear anyone complaining,” said Rick Gardner, program coordinator at the Event Advising Center. “Everyone has been very appreciative
of the funds.”
Thus far this semester, $14,166 has
Acapulco
been given to groups for 43 individual events. Excluding the EMP Electric Bus—which was one of only two events
that necessitated more than a thousand dollars in security funds—events have requested an average of $230.14. DUPD alleviates some of the cost of security by charging only $lB per officer per hour for a group’s first two events of the semester. “The policy was created years ago, and is meant to give students a break on their budgets,” Parker said. For students, receiving help from the security fund is an easy process
that Event Advising takes care of once a student group applies, Gardner said. “The paperwork only takes five or 10 minutes. It is all part of registering a party,” said sophomore Will Plaxico, social chair for Kappa Alpha Order fraternity. Because KA uses its outdoor patio for most of its parties, DUPD requires security personnel to be on hand. “I think [the fund] acknowledges that there is a shared responsibly between the group and the University,” Wasiolek said. “We are ensuring that parties and events are safe and properly staffed.”

Scientists link drug efficacy to mutations
The drug tamoxifen may help prevent breast cancer in healthy women with BRCA2 genetic mutations but not in women with BRCAI defects, new research at the University of Washington suggests. The findings show tamoxifen can reduce breast cancer risk by 62 percent in women with the BRCA2 mutations. They also underscore how rare the mutations are—present in only about 7 percent of women studied—and help clarify conflicting results in previous studies on tamoxifen's effectiveness. Tamoxifen inhibits growth of cancer cells that are sensitive to the hormone estrogen. Evidence suggests that most BRCA2linked tumors are estrogen-positive and that most BRCAI tumors are estrogen-negative, or not fueled by the hormone. *
Spinach could slow mental aging in rats
Studies exploring the effects of specific foods on the brains of animals found that diets rich in spinach and blueberries may help stave off agerelated declines in rats’ mental abilities. Rats fed a diet rich in spinach reversed a normal loss of learning that occurs with age, according to a study by researchers at the University of South Florida. Rats fed a normal diet that contained 2 percent freeze-dried spinach learned to associate the sound of a tone with an oncoming puff of air faster than those fed regular rat chow, the study found. *
Heart pumps may become permanent fix
Rumps that boost weakly beating hearts can be implanted permanently in the terminally ill, offering an alternative to heart transplants that could save tens of thousands of lives annually, according to a Columbia University study. These so-called assist devices have been available for several years, but they have been used exclusively to keep patients alive while they wait for heart transplants. The study concludes the assist devices could be a long-term solution for many of the estimated 100,000 Americans each year with congestive heart failure who could benefit from transplanted hearts but cannot get them because the organs are in such short supply.

This discovery that could vastly increase the number of people using these already übiquitous medicines. The findings emerge from the largest experiment ever to test the power of so-called statin drugs, which already are recommended for about 36 million Americans at risk of dying from heart disease. Statin drugs include Pravachol, Lipitor, Zocor, Mevacor and Lescol. The study consisted of 20,536 people who were considered at high risk of heart disease. Earlier research had not settled whether they specifically benefit from statin therapy. •

Anti-stress hormone may exist in women
A study has found young women are better able to cope with stress than young men, leading researchers to suggest there may be such a thing as a female "anti-stress" hormone. Researchers at the University of Dusseldorf in Germany said they found differences in the way men and women fared on a memory test given to a small group of college students after they experienced stress. Men with higher levels of cortisol, a hormone produced during stress, recalled fewer words than males with lower levels. No such correlation was found in women. An earlier experiment found the reverse was true among the elderly: Older men handled stress better than older, posimenopausai women News briefs compiled from staff and wire reports

Clotting agent may have lupus link By JENNIFER SONG The Chronicle
Duke researchers suggest that use of a clotting agent commonly used after surgery should be restricted. The scientists found that the agent known as bovine thrombin produced an immune response that led to lupus-like symptoms in genetically engineered mice after one dose. Lupus, an autoimmune disease in humans, causes behavioral abnormalities. It is estimated that thrombin is used to control bleeding in over 500,000 surgical procedures annually, which researchers say represent about 5 percent of surgeries performed in the United States every year. “Because [thrombin is] enzymatic and has biological activity, it can’t be made chemically inert so its reactivity and antigenicity are carried with it,” said lead investigator Dr. JeffreyLawson, assistant professor of surgery and pathology. While it is still not clear if thrombin produces the same effects in humans as it did in mice, scientists are hoping these findings will shed light on the human risks of multiple exposures to thrombin. During surgical procedures, the agent is applied directly to areas that need clotting. It works by cleaving molecules of fibrinogen, a process that ultimately converts blood from its fluid state into a solid one. “As a surgeon you need a couple tricks in your bag, and that’s why thrombin has been used. It’s cheap, easy to use, and it works,” Lawson said. However, Lawson and his team found that subtle differences between the administered agent and human thrombin trigger an immune response in the body. In January, researchers studied 150 heart surgery patients and found that more than 90 percent of those patients developed thrombin antibodies, and 30 percent developed antibodies that interacted with other human proteins. These findings suggest autoimmune complications can increase significantly if a patient is exposed to thrombin more than once.
DR. JEFFREY LAWSON, an assistant professor of surgery and pathology, and Aaron Lesher, a research technician, study the clotting agent thrombin and its side effects. Lawson found that thrombin can unleash an immune response with symptoms thatresemble lupus.
“Our immune systems are remarkably good about identifying things that are foreign. From our studies we have been able to demonstrate that nearly all people exposed to bovine thrombin develop an immune response to the agent and an increased risk of experiencing adverse clinical effects associated with re-exposure to the agent,” Lawson said. Some of the alternatives to thrombin that are currently available include nonhuman reagents and human thrombin derivatives. However, although these have been effective, many of them have not been clinically tested for their safety—a potential area for future research. Furthermore, researchers believe these results will lead to better understanding of lupus. “These findings represent an apparently unique cause of lupus. There have been a few studies that suggest that the
enzymatic activity of thrombin can contribute to autoimmune disease,” said investigator Jonathan Schoenecker, an M.D./Ph.D. graduate student. “[ln this study] it appears that we might have caused autoimmunity by overloading the [immune] system with this enzyme. If we find that the [response] in our mice is caused by the enzymatic properties of thrombin, this could provide some important insight into autoimmunity.” Researchers also found that the female mice were especially susceptible to thrombin exposure. “We will have to do more research to see if the correlation we observed in the female mice is also evident in humans,” said Rachel Johnson, a research technician who helped develop the animal model used in the study. The findings were reported this month in the American Journal of Pathology.
Rice Diet maintains national recognition During its 62-year history, the program’s emphasis has shifted from kidney disease to weight loss By JENNIFER WLACH The Chronicle
A clinic originally designed to treat high blood pressure and kidney disease now serves as one of the most popular weight loss programs in the nation, and it is located just around the corner. The Rice Diet Program/Heart Disease Reversal Clinic has treated more than 18,000 people from the United States and 25 other countries since its
inception in 1939. “The program was very successful but lost notoriety as other treatments like dialysis were developed, so the focus of this program then turned to the aspect of weight loss,” said Dr. Robert Rosati, the clinic’s medical director and associate professor of cardiology at Duke. “People lose more weight on this program than any other [comparable] pro-
gram and keep the weight off long term,” Rosati said. The strict Rice Diet allows patients to ingest 800 to 1,000 calories per day and contains little or no sodium. Rosati explained that patients begin eating fruits and grains the first few days, then start eating vegetables and slowly integrate protein—mainly chicken or fish. It costs $4,200 for the first four weeks of treatment and $490 for each
additional week; that amount decreases as patient stay lengthens. Some nutritionists say that without strict adherence to the diet, patients gain the weight back. “The program is not very realistic as far as what people will do once they leave, especially when we’re used to eating red meat and fast food in our diets. But people do lose weight on it and people have been healthier, so
why would you not continue to offer this program?” said Franca Alphin, a dietician at Student Health Services and clinical associate in the department of community and family medicine. She added that other diet programs face similar obstacles. Several patients said they are able to follow the diet once they leave. “When I go home, I follow the diet religiously,” said Susan Bass, a patient at the clinic for over four years. Most patients return to the clinic a few times a year to keep themselves on track. The Rice Diet was originally developed in 1939by Walter Kempner, former professor emeritus of medicine, as away to treat patients with kidney failure and hypertension. The rice clinic was formed under the auspices ofthe Medical Center. In the past, the program has been located in several facilities, ranging See RICE DIET on page 6 P-

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush approved the use of a special military tribunal Tuesday that could put accused terrorists on trial faster and in greater secrecy than an ordinary criminal court. The United States has not convened such a tribunal since World War 11. Bush signed an order establishing the government’s right to use such a court but preserving the option of a conventional trial. “This is a new tool to use against terrorism,” White House Counsel Albert Gonzales said. Bush’s order does not require approval from Congress. Detention and trial of accused terrorists by a military tribunal is necessary “to protect the United States and its citizens, and for the effective conduct of military operations and prevention of terrorist attacks,” the five-page order said. The order sets out many of the rules for any military tribunal and the rights of anyone held accountable there. A senior Justice Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said only noncitizens would be tried before the military commission. “These are extraordinary times and the president wants to have as many options as possible,” said Justice Department spokeswoman Mindy Tucker. “This option does not preclude any Department of Justice options that might also be available.” In either a military or a civilian court, any suspect would retain rights to a lawyer and to a trial by jury, the administration said. Anyone ever held for trial under the order would certainly challenge its legitimacy, said Eugene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice in Washington, and a lawyer who regularly practices before military courts. “There’s no recent history in this country of this. It’s an extraordinary step for the president to have taken,” Fidell said, adding that it moves the country closer to a genuine war footing. There is precedent for such panels. President Franklin Roosevelt had suspected World War II saboteurs secretly tried by military commission, and six were executed. The Supreme Court upheld the proceeding. An enemy who sneaked onto U.S. soil “for the purposes of
waging war by destruction of life or property” was a combatant who could be tried in a military court, the Supreme Court ruled. Military tribunals were also used during and after the Civil War. Gonzales, the president’s top lawyer, said a military commission could have several advantages over a civilian court, including secrecy. “This is a global war. To have successful prosecutions, we might have to give up sources and methods” about the way the investigation was conducted if the trial was held in a civilian court, Gonzales said. “We don’t want to have to do that.” A military trial could also be held overseas, and Gonzales said there may be times when prosecutors feel a trial in the United States would be unsafe. Recent terrorism trials have taken place in U.S. criminal courts, where the rules require the government to reveal its evidence either in open court or in filings it must fight to keep secret. Michael Scardaville, policy analyst for homeland defense at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said there are legitimate reasons for holding the trials in private. “This isn’t Judge Judy, two people fighting over who gets the car after a divorce. It’s about very classified elements of America’s national
security,” Scardaville said. “They can say, ‘Not only are we not going to let the press in, it’s going to be in the middle of a military base.” Michael Ratner, an international law and war crimes expert at Columbia University, said the government would lose all credibility with the Muslim world if it tries terrorists by a military commission. “I am flabbergasted,” Ratner said. “Military courts don’t have the same kind of protections, you don’t get the same rights as you do in a federal court. The judges aren’t appointed for life, there is no civilian jury.” The order is the latest effort by the administration to toughen the nation’s laws against terrorists. After the Sept. 11 attacks, the administration pushed through Congress an anti-terrorism bill that Bush said was vital but civil liberties groups said went too far, violating Americans’ constitutional,rights.

Patients come to the clinic for meals, yoga and meditation, lectures and other programs. Rosati said the staff promotes exercises such as walking, and that patients have an affordable gym nearby. Weight control is just part of the clinic’s mission to improve overall health. Four years after Maria Mullally first arrived at the clinic after having a stroke, she has lost almost 200 pounds, and she says she has received additional health benefits. “When I came here, I was walking with a cane, I was a diabetic on insulin, and I was extremely sick, overweight and unhappy,” she said. Mullally admitted she

Bass came to the clinic after a massive coronary heart attack with a cholesterol level of 490. Within four weeks, her level was down to 190. “I had tried everything.... I religiously followed a diet, and I was on cholesterol medication, but nothing significantly lowered my levels until I came to the clinic,” she said. Mullally and Bass said the support system within the clinic also improves patient health. “You form bonds here with the other patients that are like no other bonds you know,” Bass said. “Everyone here is going through the same thing.... We’re all here to get better.” Jennifer Song contributed to this story.
Marijuana possession charged: An officer patrolling West Campus at 2:46 a.m. Nov. 11, heard a loud noise coming from the vending areas on the first floor of the West Union near Alpine Bagels, Dean said. The officer found two students, freshmen Leopold Selker and Joshua Pollock, had taken several snack items from the vending machine, and were in possession of two small bags of marijuana and a green and silver pipe. Both subjects were charged with breaking and entering into a coin-operated machine and possession of stolen property. Pollock was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, and Selker was charged with possession of marijuana. Their court date is Nov. 26. Pollock had no comment and Selker was not available for comment.
Bus stop vandalized: Duke police responded to a report from 2011 Yearby St. Nov. 11 at 3:20 a.m., in reference to a report of two men vandalizing the bus stop, Dean said. The men reportedly used a log to break out the glass to the bus stop shelter, causing about $250 in damage. They were last seen entering the Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

Northern alliance invites Afghan factions to Kabul � KABUL
from page 1
security troops across Kabul to bring order—not to occupy it—and insisted they were committed to a broad-based government.
The alliance foreign minister, Abdullah Abdullah, invited all Afghan factions—except the Taliban—to come to Kabul to negotiate on the country’s future. The top UN. envoy for Afghanistan outlined a plan for a two-year transitional government with a multinational security force. Abdullah’s words were reiterated by Burhanuddin Rabbani, the alliance leader and Afghanistan’s deposed president, who also said he expected to return to Kabul Wednesday. “There is no room for the Taliban” in any political settlement in Afghanistan, Rabbani told Qatari-based Al-Jazeera television. In Washington, President George W. Bush said the United States was working with the alliance to ensure they “respect the human rights of the people they are liberating” and recognize “that a future government must include a representative from all of Afghanistan.” Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said a “small number” of US. troops were in Kabul, advising the alliance. He told journalists at the Pentagon that the troops were not enough to police the city or prevent retaliation by the opposition. Bush said there was “great progress” in the campaign launched Oct. 7 to uproot al-Qaida and punish the Taliban for harboring bin Laden, the chief suspect in the September terror attacks on the United States. In the streets of Kabul, thousands of people celebrated, honking car horns and
ringing bicycle bells. They flouted the strict version of Islamic law imposed by the Taliban that regulated almost every aspect of life, down to banning shaving and music. “I used to play this at home, but very quietly and then I would check to see if anyone was outside,” Abdul Rehman said as he turned up the volume on his cassette tape recorder blaring out the music ofhis favorite Afghan folk singer. Zul Gai, the owner of a barber shop lined up with men looking to lose their beards, smiled broadly. “This has been my best business day in many long years,” he said. Most women, however, were too cautious to shed their all-encompassing burqas, unsure what the new rules would be. Hundreds of northern alliance troops hunted down lingering Taliban and foreigners who came to Afghanistan to join al-Qaida. At least 11 Arabs and Pakistanis were slain and their bodies mutilated. Alliance fighters roamed the streets in taxis, pickup trucks and cars, brandishing Kalashnikov rifles and grenade launchers. Troops set up roadblocks in neighborhoods where Arabs and Pakistanis lived. Five Pakistanis, who were firing randomly from trees in a public park, were killed by alliance soldiers. A Red Cross official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the bodies were in pieces when volunteers removed them for burial. Four Arabs died when their pickup truck was blasted by a rocket. Their charred bodies were dragged from their vehicle by residents who kicked and poked at them. Two other Arabs were killed outside a

Is- LOSS from page 1
The decision to return to college after losing a parent is another struggle. Many students point to the difficulty of leavingfamily, feeling distant from theirloved ones and missing out on the grieving process as compelling reasons to stay at home. Sophomore Andy Abernathy, whose mother died of cervical cancer this summer, did not question his decision to return to Duke until he saw students with their parents during move-in this August. “I really wanted to go home, and came close to withdrawing first semester,” he said. “But I kept thinking my mom would have killed me if I didn’t stay here.” Many students say they need the busy pace of the college environment to help adjust to life without a parent. “This was my world. I didn’t associate anything with my mom and my parents [at Duke],” Abernathy said. “Everything here was mine, so sometimes I could trick myself into thinking that it didn’t happen. I could get lost in everyday life.” John Barrow, assistant director for outreach services at Counseling and Psychological Services, estimated that CAPS sees at least two to three students a month who have lost a parent. “We try to provide a safe, comfortable place for students to explore their feelings,” he said. “Losing a parent can always be difficult for a person whenever it happens, but during the college years, it can be difficult because the student is going through developmental changes.” When freshman Robert Behrens lost his mother to breast cancer earlier this semester, he was faced with the challenge of dealing with the loss before completely settling into Duke. Turning to University figures for help, Behrens was comforted by Father Joe Vetter, director of the Newman Catholic Student Center, as well as Kristina Johnson, dean of the Pratt School of Engineering, who notified his teachers of his situation and even sent Behrens’ family a sympathy card. Johnson also lost her mother while in college. “I know from my own experience that you’re gone for a week and that’s not really time when you’re studying, and you come back and you’re behind, and you’re depressed,” she said. “It’s a tough time, so I make available tutors and try to be open if folks want to stop in to talk.... We want to be available and we want to create a community feeling.” Although students report that administrators and. teachers do a relatively good job of working with them as they mourn, they continue to emphasize that Duke can be a tough place to deal with death. “The college setting does not lend itself to holding hands—l don’t get any slack here,” said Abernathy. Reinen added that her professors gave her extra time for assignments but no extra consideration for grades. Despite the difficulty, students have found comfort among their peers. Abernathy has grown closer to and meets weekly with three students who also have parents who have passed away. Reinen still remembers an encounter last year when a student she barely knew approached her and let her know he would be there if she needed to talk about anything. “You don’t see friendliness like that at Duke very
often,” she said.

The tail fin was fished out of Jamaica Bay Monday, a short distance from Rockaway Beach; the rudder was found nearby Tuesday. The rudder, which is supported by the tail fin, controls the plane’s turns from side to side. Agency officials told reporters they do not know what ripped the 25-foot-tall tail fin off the fuselage cleanly, as if it had been sliced by a knife. Black said a helicopter tour of the bay showed no other major airplane parts in the water. . The NTSB was also looking at whether the plane’s two engines might have failed after sucking birds inside, a phenomenon that has caused severe damage to airliners in the past. But the NTSB said an initial inspection of the engines found no evidence of such a collision and the engines appeared to be largely intact.

Nagel brought Duke voile ball the recipe for success � In three years, Jolene Nagel has transformed Duke into ACC regular-season champions and future contenders for a national title. By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle
COURTESY OF DUKE UNIVERSITY PHOTOGRAPHY
JOLENE NAGEL has intentions of leading Duke into the national spotlight.
Last weekend, the Duke volleyball team, picked third in the preseason conference poll, clinched the ACC regular-season championship. The team (21-3) enters the ACC Championships this weekend as the top seed and as the odds-on favorite to win. Three years ago, that outcome would have been unimaginable. “We didn’t look to really win,” said Ashley Harris, a senior who remembers her freshman year when the team finished 9-20. “We’d settle for just playing.” After that fateful 1998 season, thencoach Linda Grensing left and Director of Athletics Joe Alieva made his first hire: Jolene Nagel. Three years later, Alieva said that he was very pleased with the team’s success and with Nagel’s leadership as well. Nagel’s name and Duke volleyball have become synonymous with improvement. The success comes at a time when both the ACC and Duke seem poised to make a national volleyball impact. Nagel’s first year at Duke concluded with a 13-14 record. Her second year brought the team a 21-13 record, a trip
to the NCAA tournament and Nagel the district coach of the year award. Fast forward to this season and you have the makings of a conference contender. A glance at Nagel’s pre-Duke record suggests that success is nothing new to her. She began her coaching career at Cornell, where her team won three con-
secutive regular season Ivy League championships from 1989-91. She moved on to Georgetown for seven seasons, where she likewise took a mediocre team and transformed it into a conference titan. In 1998, her last year with the Hoy as, Nagel finished 24-6 with the team’s first ever Big East regular-season title—an honor they shared with Connecticut—and the team’s first NCAA bid. So it makes sense that Nagel would do the same at Duke, at another highly-regarded academic powerhouse. In future years, however, she fully expects to power Duke to the top of the conference and thus, into national contention. She credited the quality of her team’s leadership, the coaching staff and the cohesiveness of the team as reasons behind the Blue Devils’ success. Leaders like Harris and the other four members of the senior class clearly share in this credit. But lurking behind them is Nagel. “At the middle of the season last year, they began to really say, ‘We can beat everyone in our league,’ and they became confident in their abilities,” Nagel said.

failure is tempered by the bright outlook for the future of the program, mainly due to the presence of some talented young runners. Though the team featured youth throughout its ranks, and boasted one of Duke’s strongest recruiting classes ever, freshmen Paige Miller and Paris Edwards stood out as the premier runners of a deep freshmen class. “It is very difficult to have certain expectations for incoming freshmen, [because there are] a lot changes between high school and college, and some runners can take more than a year to make this transition,” coach Jan Samuelson-Ogilvie said. “We’re lucky that the freshmen we have had on our team have made a very nice transition into college.” With returning All-American junior

Both Edwards and Miller were highly accomplished runners coming out of high school. Edwards was the 2000 Oregon State Cross Country Champion and the 1999 Washington-Oregon Cross Country Border Clash Champion, while Miller was the 2000 Pennsylvania Cross Country State Champion. “Both Paige and Paris came in with great work ethics. They are strong role models. They show up on time, don’t complain and really want to get better,” Samuelson-Ogilvie said. “They understand that, to be successful in college, there are things they must sacrifice as student-athletes, like giving up that party the night before a race or important practice.” Once in college, runners typically bump up in distance and face tougher See CROSS COUNTRY on page 10 �

Blue Devils look to keep improving Freshmen provide immediate impact � VOLLEYBALL from page 9 Mental toughness means a lot in sports and Nagel says strengthening that has been the key element to making the transition from a mediocre team to a win-
ning team.
Her first year, though, she noted the team was lacking in basic skills, singling out ball control as an area that needed improvement. Harris remembers the first weeks of practice with coach Nagel. “They definitely challenged us that first year,” she said. “It was tedious, not the most fun. But they expected from the beginning for us to be successful.” Yet Nagel has never had such a successful season at Cornell or at Georgetown as she has had at Duke this year. She said that the resources she has in Durham, institutionally and financially, have been more numerous than at her other two schools. “I think we have the resources to be successful,” she said. “I think we’re going up the ladder. We’re real close to cracking the top 25. In two years, I hope we can be between 15 and 20. Then we’ll re-evaluate to see what it’s going to take.” Coupled with Duke’s academic reputation, it’s that kind of attitude that has the team peeking through to the national picture. Much like both tennis teams, basketball teams and golf teams, Nagel has tapped into Duke’s ability to succeed in small, close-knit sports where finesse and skill are often more important than power and number. Immediately, Nagel recruited Krista Dill and Arielle Linderman, who are now sophomores. A four-member class this year has also blossomed. Nagel said the problem with recruiting often has less to do with convincing players to come to Duke, but rather convincing them it will not devour them. This year, in addition to entering the top 25, Nagel expects the team to reach the Sweet 16—a feat achieved only once for the volleyball team, in 1994. Everyone still agrees that the ACC is a very competitive conference, yet it’s no volleyball powerhouse. With schools like Long Beach, Stanford, Arizona, Southern Cal, Pepperdine, UCLA, Pacific and Hawaii routinely gracing the Top 25 —Nebraska is the only top five school not on the West Coast—the ACC has yet to make carve its niche in the national volleyball landscape. “I think basically [there’s a bias] not toward East or West, but toward traditional teams,” said Joe Sagula, who has coached North Carolina for eight years. “For the ACC needs to continue to establish one or two teams up there consistently. Once we do that, whoever it’s going to be, we’ll start creating the traditions. That’s what we need to do.” ASHLEY HARRIS and the other seniors witnessed and experienced Nagel wants Duke to be that team the turnaround of the volleyball program under Jolene Nagel.
� CROSS COUNTRY from page 9 competition. So while expecting freshmen to lead a team is often unrealistic, this year proved to be an unusual one for the newcomers. “Freshmen enter a world where they compete on a weekly basis against the best runners in the country. And unlike in high school, they don’t know the people they compete with,” Samuelson-Ogilvie said. In the first collegiate race of their careers in September, Miller won the Fordham Invitational title while Edwards followed in third place overall. This was only the beginning for the duo, as Edwards went on to lead Duke once and finish second four more times, while Miller led the Blue Devils every time she ran—except for when Edwards beat her out by 0.3 seconds at the Great
American Cross Country Festival. Yet another freshman, Meaghan Leon, finished first in one race and third in nearly ever other. “Paris and Paige come from opposite sides of the country, and each has a very different personality,” said Samuelson-Ogilvie. “They have different strengths and weaknesses, but both have a common goal, and that is to everyone’s advantage.” In sharing this mutual goal, Edwards and Miller have proven to be positive influences on each other. Miller readily admits that having her fellow freshman with her in practices and during meets has bettered her running immensely. And because each has three years of eligibility remaining, Miller believes that the team will continue to improve. “We know that they have much more potential there, and they also have high standards for themselves, which is a good thing,” Samuelson-Ogilvie said. “We were very lucky to have Paige and Paris choose Duke. They had aspirations that included great academics, as well as athletics, and Duke has that. We are a young team on the rise, and I think they wanted to be part ofthat.”

The only difference was that he actually had the game that justified the smile, whereas mine warranted more of a sympathetic groan. So, I suppose it was fitting that I first heard about his contraction of HIV after another meager, yet enjoyable kickball performance at the park 10 years and seven days ago. Bubs—6-foot-3 and potentially allergic to soap—the stereotypically shaggy local baseball card peddler, stopped my friends and me as we were running up
the street in a vain attempt to get back to school before lunch break ended.

Even as he announced his new affliction to the world, he stared self-pity down, and disposed of it with a grin, as he proudly declared, “I’ll live. I won’t die. And if Ido die, I’ll be happy. I’ve had a great life.” And don’t underestimate how much a couple short sentences like that means to a confused and more than a little scared boy who would be diagnosed with diabetes just six
months later.
Despite Magic’s class, ignoramuses like Karl Malone began to mouth off about how they would never play against someone with contaminated blood. Oh, I can remember to this day how unbecoming their grimaces, com-
posed of one part sadness, two parts misplaced anger and a boatload of fear, looked on their contorted visages. But in all fairness, considering the amount of knowledge available at the time, they may not have been the insensitive dolts they now appear to be. That’s because Magic Johnson was the first American to put a face to the deadly disease. Sure, Rock Hudson and others had brought HIV/AIDS into the national spotlight before Nov. 7,1991, but Magic forced us to look at it unblinkingly. Here was somebody—talented, seemingly healthy and, very importantly, masculine—who made it explicitly clear that AIDS was not only for gays and drug addicts. AIDS was real, and it won five championships and three MVP awards. Ten years later, though not as prominent an AIDS awareness spokesperson as some may have hoped for, Magic has taught us yet another lesson: that one can live a largely normal and incredibly successful life while juggling anti-retroviral cocktails and the monitoring of Tcell counts. In fact, Magic has remained so healthy that his viral load still remains undetectable. Nevertheless, one day my hero will most likely succumb to the virus, and the vision of a lesioned, sickly Magic Johnson on a hospital bed is almost too disturbing for me to handle. But if the rigors of life never weighed so heavily on him as to erase his trademark smile, I know death certainly won’t.
It didn’t erase Carrie Shoemaker’s, She (Pratt ’00), like Magic, initially drew me in with her smile. Hers, though just as appealing, differed a bit from Magic’s. It was just so darn big, so toothy, 50... full of life. I realize that it is customary to shower the dead with praises, so let me assure you that it did not take her death to make those Carrie touched recognize her sparkle. She brought this incredible radiance with her wherever she went; no matter if it was at Naval ROTC training, the soccer field or my fraternity’s back commons room. Since her death, I’ve heard countless stories about her brilliant infectiousness. About the time she calmed a horde of angry bikers at Myrtle Beach, the time she took a noticeably shaken fourth-class member under her wing, the many times she brushed aside the rigors of juggling NROTC, club soccer, engineering and so much else to sit down with someone who just needed to talk. Run over walking down the street, The driver didn’t even have the courtesy
to stop.
A couple days after I heard the
news, I remembered my old friend Bubs, who, so devastated by the crush-
ing realization of Magic’s mortality, and in turn, his own, was driven to tears 10 years ago. Whereas I stood before him motionlessly last time, a decade later, I joined him. Then, I wiped my face off and smiled because it is the only way I really know how to cope.

The Chronicle Fixing campaign finance The recent off-year election demonstrates that personal wealth has too much influence
As
the U.S. economy suffers a marked downturn, most Americans are spending less money than they did just a few months ago. One person who has bucked this trend, however, is Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg, a billionaire businessman and political neophyte, won the New York City mayoral election as the Republican candidate last week, after spending roughly $5O million ofhis own money for his campaign. His opponent, Democrat Mark Green —a seasoned politician—spent only $l2 million. New York’s mayoral race provides a glaring example of the need for campaign finance reform in the United States. Like Bloomberg, other recent candidates have spent millions from their personal fortunes to win elections, including Mark Warner—the Democratic governor-elect ofVirginia—and Democratic Sen. Jon Corzine of New Jersey when he ran in 2000. The current campaign finance system allows candidates to spend as much of their own money as they wish on their campaign for public office, giving a clear advantage to wealthy candidates. The resulting system is both unfortunate and undemocratic; candidates vying for an office should start their campaigns on an equal financial playing field. Just because candidates have made fortunes in the private sector does not necessarily qualify them for service in the public sector. At the very least, candidates who spend their own fortunes to win elections arouse cynicism among the people. Fortunately, massive spending does not always guarantee victory, Ross Perot, Steve Forbes and Michael Huffington are examples where personal wealth alone cannot propel a candidate into an elected office. Of course, it never hurts. Candidates like Perot and Forbes almost certainly would never have received the support they did had they not spent millions campaigning. Still, elections cannot continue along a path where the wealthy hold such an advantage. The U.S. Senate is moving in the right direction on the campaign finance issue, It has passed the McCainFeingold bill, which would close the soft money loophole in the current campaign finance laws. However, more measures should be enacted at state and local levels to create overall caps on election spending, so that the money does not drown out the message. At the same time, legislation must also continue to curb the power of interest groups. Currently, corporations and unions have wider freedom than individuals in donating large sums of money to candidates and parties, but if—as the courts have said—money is equal to free speech, why should individuals face more restrictions on “expressing themselves” than corporations do? The answer is that money does not equal free speech. No one should be able to donate such huge sums of money to a campaign—not even the candidate himself. Campaign finance reform is necessary to ensure that elections do not become simple fund-raising battles and that victory is not pre-determined by personal wealth.

Non-mainstream living groups have their place I cannot help feeling deja vu while reading the article regarding SHARE’S move from Central Campus. Almost five years ago, I helped compile a few hundred pages of personal notes, explanations and petition pages to present to the University’s administration in hopes of persuading the powers-that-be to let SHARE remain in Epworth Dormitory on East Campus. To move SHARE from Epworth, we believed, would signal the death of our living group.And even though I was preparing to graduate and leave Duke, I realized the impact SHARE had on my four years, so I put all my effort into our campaign. And, of course, we failed. It comes with only little surprise to know that SHARE has continued to flourish on Central Campus since then,
in a slightly different way, of course. It isn’t the same, but it serves a similar important purpose: to provide a place for students who do not find the social conformity of the University an attractive living environment. Duke University is a small mirror of the world. There will always be a group of people who reject the strong currents of the mainstream and group together with others who share similar viewpoints in carving out a niche oftheir own. The stronger the pull of the mainstream, the stronger those counter-culture elements will work against it. The University seems to embrace uniformity as it moves forward with changes to its residential environment—probably because it is
unity.” The importance ofthat remains a mystery to me. Students will find their own unity. University’s administrators should remember that there are variables that don’t fit its equations. And those variables represent students—young people who were admitted to Duke they met the because entrance requirements and became a member of the community with hopes of receiving a quality education. The environment that is provided for them not only affects their education, it is part of their education. If students expressed strong concerns’ about an aspect of the curriculum, would the faculty

University should bolster Latino studies discipline The Nov. 9 commentary by Marisa Gonzalez and Sara Hudson clearly demonstrates that an academic program in Latino studies at Duke is imperative for the institution to remain competitive with its peer institutions and to demonstrate that this university is truly
committed to diversity on campus. There are more than
17,000 residents categorized themselves as Latino, or 7.6 percent of the total population. Given the changing demographics in the United States and most notably in North Carolina where the growth rate of Latinos 400 exceeded percent between 1990 and 2000, the need for Latino studies at Duke is crucial to remain in

Students loudly supported women’s I would like to acknowledge and applaud the Duke
students whose clever and loud support of the women’s
basketball team help create an electricity that was palpable at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Sunday. The
students visibly increased
the excitement and passion that was on display as the women’s team launched their regulation season with an awesome merger of basketball fundamentals and athleticism. Sunday’s game merely confirmed to those of us who regularly go to Duke
On the
women’s basketball games what we already know: We are competing at the highest rung in women’s collegiate basketball in the United States. The women’s basketball team will no doubt prove a fountainhead physicians, for future lawyers, teachers, bankers, traditionally etc. that emerge from the Duke undergraduate population, as well as an ever-increasing number of women whose life journey includes a career in the WNBA.

is wonderful to see. I encourage this to simply be the beginning of an everincreasing number of students who eagerly come to see some of the best women’s basketball anywhere in the United States. Duke students do far more than just increase the crowd size, they provide a palpable additional weapon for our team, increasing their resolve that no one beats us in our house. Ever. Henry

Interview
Oak Room
WEDNESAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2001 �PAGE 15 es next semester. With the exception of writing a thesis, you don’t have that continuity every semester, but in graduate school, there’s always something I’m doing. It doesn’t end. Summer is, “Oh good, I can do more reading.”... There are a lot of people who work that up, that they are going to do their schoolwork [at home]. Grad school should be a job, and you should set up definite hours.
JB What surprises you most about this job? EH How receptive people have been. Over the :
This interview, with Graduate and Professional Student Council President Elayne Heisler, is the third in a series of Oak Room Interviews, designed to shed light on the personalities of campus figures in an informal setting. The interview was conducted hy John Bush, editorial page editor of The Chronicle.
JB : What’s a typical day for you?
JB: Were you a sociology major? EH: Actually, I wasn’t. I was in human development, which is a combination of sociology and psychology. I wound up writing my senior thesis under sociology, and I took a bunch of sociology courses.... But I haven’t had a problem at all in grad school. JB; What
• If its good, I wake up at 5:30 and go to the gym. Then, to be in my office in sociology between 8 and 9. I check e-mail, which is both sociology and GPSC. I find that a lot of what I do in GPSC is e-mail correspondence.... Then, I usually will do a lot of my academic work.... Generally, I work for most of the day. Two days a week, I teach Hebrew school. Mondays and Wednesdays I have class.... Then, some meeting at some point in the day. Usually, I take care of my to-do list, but a lot of GPSC is e-mails responding to this or responding to that. I get a lot of e-mails from myself; I hate myself for it because I’ll send out e-mails to the GPSC list or the different programs when you need to publicize something. One of our bigger issues is that there isn’t a central list-serve that can get to all professional and graduate students, so I have to send it to the GPSC list, then grad women and so on. By the time that I’m done, I’ll have gotten the message four times.
JB : What are the biggest problems facing GPSC? EH : I think that the communication issue is real-
ly really key because we can plan, organize, do whatever we want to do, but if no one knows about it, it’s not going to make a difference. That’s definitely one that’s key. The impending current debt and how that’s going to affect graduate students because there are going to be
choices made and what those choices are is another issue. That’s something we’ve been working on, but there’s really not as much tangible we can do beyond just being involved and keeping ourselves out there.... Also setting up some type of an institutionalized structure that would not bring in random people every year, that there would be a lot of continuity in leadership, in programming.... We’re also trying to look into that massive problem of how students deal with their families, children and school—whether that can ever be addressed.... At least we can try to bring visibility to the issue. JB: Where did you go as an undergraduate? EH: I went to Cornell. JB; Are you from New York? EH: New Jersey actually.
JB : How did you wind up at Duke? Duke was known for having good areas in EH in medical sociology, two of my interests.... aging :
and One of my professors was very gung-ho on the side of Duke. I applied and really did not think that I was going to come. I knew people at every other school I was applying t0.... Anyone would have predicted that I would be going somewhere else. So, it boiled down to the visit, the weekend of the national championships [in 1998]. They had the whole class come down, which is fun because these are the people that you will be spending time with. So, I watched the basketball national championship game and thought that we’d never campout for basketball what was that about....
made you choose to go to grad school? EH: I was very interested in studying aging and the older populations and there was a... concentration at Cornell. There was a lot of multidisciplinary coursework, and it turned out that I liked the courses that were within sociology... And then I really got into the idea of grad 5ch001.... I had spent a semester in Washington, D.C., and really liked the idea of doing policy research.... I’m very interested in policy issues, but I also wanted to get a Ph.D. because I thought that this would give me more options. JB: What had you gone into Cornell thinking that you were going to do? EH: Probably more psychiatry. I had worked in a nursing home the summer before I had started college and liked it—probably part of the premed flirtation. It was more psychiatry, clinical and counseling.
:
summer, I went to [Executive Vice President] Tallman Trask’s office and wanted to make an appointment. Five minutes later, they call me back and say, “Sure, what time are you available.” There’s something about that that makes it amazing. I think that I had a pretty good idea of the magnitude of the job in terms of within the scope, but the power has surprised me. I don’t feel like I have power, but I think that people perceive it of some of us. And the visibility has also been interesting.... [Former GPSC President Tomalei Vess] really laid the foundation for a lot of what’s happened now. She just was an incredible advocate for graduate students specifically and then also for graduate and professional students in the wider community. It’s amazing to see what she’s done, and she’s still really passionate and involved. It’s been great to have her and Cybelle around as resources.
JB: Do you feel that grad students need additional rights? EH; I think that the rights have been outlined as part of best practices. The next step is just making sure that they’re enforced. It differs a lot across departments, across professors. Some professors are JB: Were you involved in student government at amazing to work with and give the students everyCornell? thing in the world, and some professors I’ve heard horEH: I was not. I was involved with a bunch of dif- ror stories about.... ferent things, but not with student government. It’s so hard because you really can’t enforce them; you really are in a lot of ways beholden to a major pro: Why did you get involved here then? fessor because that is the person recommending you, : I went to the first GPSC meeting.... And they helping you out and launching your career. were one of the groups that was trying to publicize JB; What do you feel about unionization? what they did.... And the person who was the social EH; Thus far, we have not had any unionization, and chair had resigned, so I decided to do it. They were looking to put people on committees, and they were I’m hoping it stays that way. looking for someone to be on the search committee for Have you followed the current on-campus the new vice president for institutional equity, so I volunteered and had no idea what I was getting myself housing changes at all? into.... I remember going to a basketball game, opening I’m very interested in the implications of up the program, seeing all of the chief officers and that. I feel bad for you guys who were in the old plan... realizing that I had met almost all of them through the and I think that there are some people who are going course of being on this committee.... to move off campus as a result. I have undergraduate neighbors now who don’t bother me at all but who do JB: Why did you- want to be GPSC president? bother [neighbors]. There are implications in that for EH: The National Association of Graduate and those of us who do live off campus. Professional Students has a conference each year, which I [went to last Thursday]. I went with Cybelle JB: Conflicts in housing? EH: I think that the issue is less trying to get the McFadden, who was last year’s GPSC president; she was looking for someone who was involved to go with same housing and more prices because if it drives up her. She [later] kept telling me, “You should do this. the prices, graduate and professional students are You should do this.”... Then from September to Marchalready taking out tremendous amounts of loans and time, I started thinking, “Yeah, I could do that.” a lot of the undergraduates are not as cash-strapped. My biggest concern is what it’s going to do to the JB: I haven’t heard any GPSC campaign slogans. housing market.

JB: How similar or different do you think that Cornell is to Duke? EH: The residential college aspect was a major difference. The Cornell fraternities are off campus, and that we had a version of Franklin Street—night clubs, bars, eateries and different things going on with a natural spillover from campus—so not a lot of heavy drinking was on campus. Student wise, it’s very similar. Very bright and driven people....
JB You’ve written about how certain parts of grad school turned you off, particularly the attitude. :
Could you elaborate?
EH
: There’s a certain amount of reality that graduate school isn’t always fun and that it is hard work. A lot of students in their first year talk about how they have to go home and do homework. I realize that I don’t consider it homework because it’s all just work. It isn’t localized to being done at home. In grad school, you don’t end, where, as an undergrad, you can slack off because you’ll be in different class-
JB: What do you plan on doing when you get out? EH: It definitely changes. I think I would like anything in policy because I’m still headed in that direction. The model [for grad school] is to be a professor, and I have not totally ruled that out. JB; What do you want said about GPSC in a year? EH: I’d like to see GPSC increase its visibility in a positive way and do more things that mean something to every student, to have people in the law school or med school say, “Yeah, GPSC, they really helped me with this” or “They did a good job with this event.”
