Microbiology to merge with genetics University narrows pool for OIT head

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle The Department of Microbiology, long

plagued by internal division and a dwindling doctoral program, is set to join with the Department of Genetics this week. Joseph Nevins, James B. Duke professor of genetics and current chair of the genetics department, will likely serve as chair of the merged department. Jack Keene, James B. Duke professor and chair of microbiology, said the move will strengthen the new division and allow for more collaboration. “We will have additional faculty,” Keene said. “The whole idea is to combine and grow [and] foster ideas to have a critical mass in microbial pathogenesis .” The department was formed in 1993 after splitting from the Department of Immunology and for a long time under the leadership ofvirologist Wolfgang Joklik was a top-10 department with over 70 graduate students. Currently, there are about 20 graduate students. “It’s a great development because microbiology is an area that was very strong and has been in some substantial decline,” said Provost Peter Lange, adding that it is likely that Nevins will become chair. Nevins said no decisions have been made about the details of the merger. Due to a lack of administrative support, a small faculty and difficulty recruiting graduate students, the department began to falter, according to a 1999 external review. The review highlighted

expressed concerns about the viability of a doctoral program without significant

faculty recruitment.

“When I first went to the microbiology department, there was a very powerful and very good chairman,” said Stephen White, a former faculty member and now chair of structural biology at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. “It was probably the best department at Duke.” Lewis Siegel, dean of the Graduate School, said genetics was the most compatible fit because the leadership in the Department of Genetics emerged from

the microbiology department in 1994. Patrick Lager, a graduate student in microbiology and a medical student, works with Keene in functional genomics. He said it is difficult to know how the merger will affect him, but that he has noticed a change in the number of faculty members in the five years he has

studied microbiology at Duke. “There’s been some shift of faculty around, either leaving the institution al-

together, or some leaving the depart-

ment, who either don’t fit in as well with what’s going to be the combined departSee MICROBIOLOGY on page

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle The search for the University’s next chief information officer has reached its final stage, just as administrators are trying to finalize a vision for the future of technology on campus. The search committee has narrowed its choices for the position of CIO and vice provost for information technology to several finalists and hopes to make its final selection in the next several weeks. The position became vacant this summer after Betty Leydon departed for a similar position at Princeton University, leaving open the leadership of the Office

of Information Technology and of various

computing initiatives. Those initiatives—-

such as creating a wireless network on campus and increasing technology use by faculty members—have continued in part, but administrators are looking for someone to jump-start those efforts. “It’s a huge operation. The person has to be an outstanding administrator,” said Philip Morgan, chair of the search committee and professor ofsociology. “But really, we’re looking for someone who has a vision for academic computing at Duke.” One early goal of the committee was to See INFORMATION on page 7 �

Toledo downs women’s basketball Duke prepares for Maui, new season

By SHAWN NICHOLLS The Chronicle

When the women’s basketball team arrived in Toledo, their season, al-. though in its early stages, had gone according to expectations. Duke had dominated Dynamo-Moscow in its only preseason game and then soundly defeated then-seventh-ranked Texas Tech in the State Farm Classic. Friday night the Blue Devils crushed an outmatched squad from Elon 102-52. However, when Duke (2-1) left Toledo (1-0) Sunday on the short end of a 71-65 score, the Blue Devils were the Rockets’ first victory over a ranked opponent, as well as the highest ranked opponent any Toledo sports team has beaten in recent memory. “Congratulations to [Toledo Coach] Mark Ethlen and his players,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “They played a tremendous basketball game. They came in focused and they were ready to play. They played with great intensity, heart, hustle and determination.” Duke opened the first half with an unproductive 12 minutes, shooting 6-for-18 from the floor. The Blue Devils, however, were still able to take the lead at halftime, 30-23. Sheana Mosch, one of only two Duke players in double figures, made two baskets and a three pointer over the last 4:15 of the half to fuel a 9-0 Blue Devil run. Seemingly unfazed, however, Toledo regrouped and jumped back into the lead with a 12-2 run to start the second half. Then, after a Duke basket, Toledo’s Courtney Risinger knocked down a three pointer to put the Rockets ahead 38-34.

LAHAINA, Hawaii After executing what coach Mike Krzyzewski termed “search-and-destroy missions” in its two lopsided exhibition victories, the topranked men’s basketball team commences its regular season tonight against Seton Hall (1-0) in the first round ofthe EA Sports Maui Invitational. Competing in a field that includes top-10 powerhouses Kansas and UCLA, not to mention a Pirate team that defeated San Francisco 87-79 in its season opener Friday, the Blue Devils believe that the threeday tourney will not be all fun in the sun. “I think that it’s a fact of life that if you play tough people, you’ll get a chance to lose and you also have a chance to get better,” Krzyzewski said. “You don’t come to Maui expecting to go 3-0. When you come to Maui, you expect three very difficult games and you expect to come out ofhere better.” One team that hopes to improve is Seton Hall, which lost its two top players from a year ago—forwards Eddie Griffin and Samuel Dalembert—and its See MAUI in SportSWTap page 8 �

Taliban offers surrender of Kunduz The Northern Alliance agreed to take part in a U.N. conference outside the country By ELLEN KNICKMEYER The Associated Press

BANGI, Afghanistan The Taliban offered Sunday to surrender their last northern stronghold if Arab and other foreign fighters loyal to Osama bin Laden in the city are spared, an antiTaliban commander said. The Northern Alliance, meanwhile, agreed to a conference on neutral ground to plan a multiethnic government. The offer to surrender Kunduz came after U.S. bombers unleashed their heaviest strikes so far on the city. Warplanes were reported in action near the Taliban southern stronghold of Kandahar and areas of eastern Afghanistan where bin Laden is believed to maintain camps and hide-outs.

ital, Kabul. The United Nations favors a neutral site. Following talks in Tashkent, Uzbekistan with US. envoy James Dobbins, the alliance’s foreign minister, Abdullah, said the meeting “will be held outside Afghanistan,” possibly

In Washington, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said the advances on the ground were reducing bin Laden’s room to maneuver. “We think that the more that we are stripping away his protection... that we’re beginning to narrow his possibilities for hiding,” Rice told CNN’s “Late Edition.” Secretary of State Colin Powell said the Northern Alliance had agreed to take part in U.N.-brokered talks with other Afghan factions about forming a new power-sharing government in Afghanistan. The head of the alliance, Burhanuddin Rabbani, said Saturday his group supported such a conference but wanted it to take place in the cap-

as early as this week. That would represent a major concession by the alliance, which clearly wanted the conference to take place in a city under its control. Abdullah said some locations proposed by the United Nations “were acceptable to us,” citing Germany, Switzerland and Austria. “It is my understanding based on the discussions we had today that the issues of,venue and timing of such a meeting are agreed,” Dobbins said.

Al-Qaeda on the run in Afghanistan By ROBERT BURNS

Powell, Wolfowitz and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice all suggested bin Laden’s room to maneuver

Terrorist mastermind Osama bin WASHINGTON Laden and his al-Qaeda network are on the run in Afghanistan and their Taliban supporters are in disarray, but the American-led military campaign to crush them is far from over, senior administration officials said Sunday. Secretary of State Colin Powell and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, in separate talk show interviews, both said they have no reason to believe bin Laden has escaped Afghanistan. “I have seen no intelligence or information to suggest” he has left, Powell said on ABC’s “This Week.” The Taliban’s envoy to Pakistan said Saturday that bin Laden had left Afghanistan, but that has not been substantiated. Later, the diplomat said he meant only that bin

is shrinking, his options narrowing. “It’s getting harder for him to hide as more and more territory is removed from Taliban control,” Powell said. “I don’t think there’s any country in the region that would be anxious to give him guest privileges if he showed up.” Wolfowitz described bin Laden as “in very great danger” of being killed or captured. “This is a man on the run who’s doing his best to hide,” Wolfowitz said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Added Rice: “We’re beginning to narrow his possibilities for hiding.” Powell said the Central Intelligence Agency has been doing “some rather splendid work with respect to our activities in Afghanistan, working alongside our military forces that are inside in Afghanistan.”

Students report 2 armed robberies

The two incidents took place early Saturday morning on Central Campus, and a third unarmed robbery Saturday evening was reported in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. From staff reports

Three robberies occurred on campus this past weekend, two armed robberies on Central Campus early Saturday and another robbery in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens that evening. Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department said his office was not sure if the incidents were committed by the same people. A student reported that at about 3:04 a.m. Nov. 17, a man with a small handgun entered her unlocked apartment at 312 Anderson St. and demanded valuables from the seven people present, Dean said. The perpetrator stole a $2,100 Compaq laptop computer, serial number 5419KDJKBE98, a $1,500 Sony camcorder, $lOO in cash and a $9OO men’s Tag Heuer wrist watch. The suspect was described as a 61” to 6’3” black man in his 40s, with a full beard about the length of his hair; his hair was described as short. The man wore a denim jacket, blue jeans and a light-colored shirt. Another student reported that at 3:17 a.m. Nov. 17, as he and a friend walked across Central they were approached by a man on Yearby Street near Anderson Street. The man pointed a small handgun at them and demanded money; he took $4O from one student and left. The suspect was described as a 510” 40-year-old black man with gray hair and a beard, wearing a denim jacket and pants. Duke police posted advisories over the weekend warning students about the two incidents. A student also reported that at about 7:48 p.m. Nov. 17, he was robbed in the Duke Gardens by two men, Dean said. The student reported that the two subjects approached him, demanded money and that he gave them $4O. He said that as he walked away, one of the subjects hit him in his jaw, and that he ran from the Gardens with the subjects in pursuit for a short distance. No gun was involved. The subjects were described as two black men, one about 5’9”, dressed in dark clothing—a jacket with the hood pulled down tightly. Dean said no further description of the second subject was available.

Groups discuss diversity at luncheon

Second-annual event allows cultural groups to consider challenges By MATT BRADLEY The Chronicle

Following last year’s influential Unity Through Diversity event, minority and cultural organizations again had the opportunity to present their future plans and initiatives to the community Friday at the

second-annual luncheon. Held at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, the event allowed each organization to give seven-minute presentations on their concerns and requests. Most groups criticized the University’s lack of minority faculty and student recruitment, complicated student funding processes, limited cultural curriculum, a stifling cultural campus climate, inadequate meeting and social space and an insufficient event advising system. But most of the groups also thanked the administration for its recent successes. These successes included five Blue Ribbon Committees formed by President Nan Keohane in the wake of the Duke Student Movement protests last spring, improvements in the funding process and the reorganization of the Mary

Lou Williams Center for Black Culture. Senior Detavio Fikes-Samuels of the National Panhellenic Council presented on minority greek initiatives. He highlighted two main issues affecting minority social organizations: the lack of inexpensive social space and the University’s compulsory security requirement for social events not held in commons rooms. “In some cases, the need for this security presence was embarrassing,” Fikes-Samuels said. He also mentioned the size difference between the NPHC and the two historically white greek organizations, the Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council. Other groups presenting included the Black Student Alliance, which discussed community initiatives for black students. The group’s concerns included a lack of funding for cultural events and a deficit of black faculty in some of Duke’s most important academic departments. The group also mentioned the marginalization ofDuke’s black community. “African-American students aren’t comfortable and See LUNCHEON on page 7

Citizens, Congress members address Latino issues By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

Education, immigration and health

care for Latinos were the core issues discussed at a town hall meeting in Raleigh Saturday. The forum brought Democratic U.S. Reps. David Price and Bob Etheridge together with guest of honor Rep. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to discuss topics pertinent to the Latino community in North Carolina and the nation as a whole. Menendez, vice chair of the Democratic Caucus and the highest ranking Latino in Congress, emphasized that the nation’s growing Latino population has made great strides, but still faces several challenges. Among these challenges is the need for more education in the community. “When 50 percent of all Latino students in the country don’t finish their

high school years... we need to look at that,” Menendez said. As part of the solution, Menendez discussed the Hispanic Education Action program, a piece of

Menendez said. After his opening comments, Menendez took questions from the audience. One person asked the panel whether or not undocumented immigrants had access to education at the state’s community colleges and universities. Although the representatives did not cite many specific admissions policies, they said the government should institute less ambiguous laws to allow immigrants to attend college. “It’s not desirable to have college admissions people be the front line in immigration law enforcement. But we should have workable and enforceable immigration laws,” said Price.

Duke Coach Robbie Church could not have been

more impressed.

The first thing I want to say is just how proud I am to be the women’s soccer coach at Duke University, and how proud I am of these young ladies for all that they’ve been through this year,” he said. For them to play 150 minutes of soccer Friday night, and come back to give a performance like that is unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. We played as hard as we could.” Although the Blue Devils’ (8-10-1) season ended in disappointment Sunday against their archrival, their weekend began with a euphoric upset over the favored Volunteers (11-6-1). During the regular season, Duke lost all four of its overtime contests, and were eager to avenge the many difficult defeats. However, the Blue Devils were not expecting to play an additional 60 minutes

after regulation. “It was pretty ridiculous,” Carly Fuller said. “We were like, ‘Four overtimes? There’s no way it can go that way.’” When the contest finally came down to penalty kicks, Duke possessed a clear advantage with the highly acclaimed Helgadottir, who regularly plays for the Icelandic national team. In contrast, Helgadottir’s opposing netminder, Cori Stevens, is a mere 5-foot-5. Helgadottir dominated the shootout. Terrific with her feet, the sophomore goalie tallied the first score of the shootout by drilling a shot past Stevens. She then proceeded to stop two Volunteer kicks, the second of which sparked off an enormous celebration as her teammates chased the fist-pumping Helgadottir around the field before piling on. Helgadottir attributed her success to a steadfast

belief in herself. “I think attitude is the key,” she said. “If you show your opponent that you’re confident, and that you’re not intimidated by them, it’s definitely going to give out a signal.” Duke’s reward for surviving Tennessee was to face the three-time defending national champion Tar Heels in front of a huge crowd at Fetzer Field,

Florida State upsets volleyball in ACC semifinals By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

Despite the numerous regular season accolades the Duke volleyball team (22-4,14-4 in the ACC) received, none of its previous accomplishments translated into even an ACC tournament final appearance this weekend. The Blue Devils lost to the host and fourth-seeded Florida State Seminoles (17-11, 12-6) in Tallahassee to end their bid for an ACC tournament championship. “Florida State played really well,” Duke coach Jolene Nagel said. “We didn’t play badly, but if we could’ve capitalized on some opportunities, it would’ve made our match a little bit easier. It might have helped us get over the hump in game one and maybe win game four. “We’ve had a tremendous season. We had a lot of accomplishments. It’s disappointing that we didn’t come out with a win today, but Florida State is playing really well.” Led by a fearsome frontline of Nirisha Campell, Erica Bunch and Alex Sevillano who crushed 54 of the team’s 66 kills, Florida State physically dominated its opponents en route to a 32-30, 30-21, 1330, 30-20 victory.

JENNY MAO/THE CHRONICLE

DORRETTE BURWELL hits a serve in a match earlier this year. Burwell is one of four seniors on this year’s team.

“That first game was really important and we didn’t play badly. I definitely think it carried over to the second game. I think that first game was a telltailing sign of what was to come in regards to the mental part of the game for both teams.” Given the proficiency of the Seminoles’ hitters, Duke’s defense was hard-pressed to even come up with a dig on many plays. The key to Florida State’s success against the talented Blue Devils was keeping momentum on its side for the majority of the match. After falling behind 12-8 in the fourth and final game, Florida State went on an 11-2 run to put Duke down for good. The Seminoles’ whopping .513 hitting percentage in the first two games left Duke baffled and scrambling for answers even Nagel could not produce. “We had some opportunities and didn’t take advan-

tage of them,” Nagel said. “We made too many errors. “The tournament setting is a whole new animal, being the number one seed and having pressure on you.” The Blue Devils’ troubles this weekend began in Friday afternoon’s match where they looked anything but impressive. Duke beat the eighth-seeded Virginia Cavaliers in four games, but looked sluggish in its performance. While winning the first two games 30-21 and 3026, Duke looked like it was a bit tentative but still hitting well. During the first frame, the Blue Devils were playing evenly with their under-manned competition, and used an 8-0 run to finally pull ahead of the Cavaliers. The second game saw Duke build an 11-6 lead, but Virginia rallied to go on a 10-4 run and take an eventual 25-23 lead before surrendering the game. “We didn’t play our best today, but we’re glad we were able to win,” Nagel said Friday. “Virginia played very well and took us out of our game by being very aggressive. I thought we became more tentative as they got back into the game.” The Blue Devils went on to lose the third game 30-25 and finally finish off the Cavaliers 30-28 in the fourth game. Senior Ashley Harris, who led Duke with 18 kills, knew her squad did not play up to par. “We played passively,” Harris said. “We didn’t attack well when we started to get down, which is really uncharacteristic of our team. When we started attacking them, things began to fall in our favor.” Although the Blue Devils must wait until Nov. 27 to see if they have earned a berth in the NCAA tournament, Nagel said she is optimistic that her squad is capable of achieving a successful outcome to this season. “I think the team feels like they gave their best effort. You always perform better on some days than others but at the same time, they played well. I’m very proud of the way they played and conducted themselves. Hopefully we get a chance to be in the NCAA tournament and our season is not over yet.”

Wrestling places fifth among nation’s top programs By MICHAEL JACOBSON The Chronicle The Blue Devils traveled to Pennsylvania this past weekend and took on the best. Perhaps it did not have the same significance as David taking on Goliath, but as far as college wrestling is concerned, it’s about as close as it gets. Duke s fifth place finish at Penn’s Keystone Classic this past weekend pitted the Blue Devils against the best competition that they will face all season. [Finishing fifth] was a real good showing for us,” Duke coach Clar Anderson said. “I was real pleased with a lot of the performances.” Wrestling with less than a full lineup, the Blue Devils finished behind tournament champion lowa

State, ranked sixth nationally, 12th-ranked Penn, as well as powerhouses Rider and Brown. Seven of nine Duke wrestlers placed in the top six of their weight classes. lowa State won five and Penn won four of the ten weight classes. Appalachian State’s 133pound Travis Drake won the remaining weight class byway of the tournament’s biggest upset: Drake scored a 13-8 decision over lowa State’s Zach Roberson, who was ranked fourth nationally before the season began. Asked if the team will benefit from the level of competition it faced this weekend, Anderson responded enthusiastically. “Without a doubt,” he said. “To have these guys go against lowa State and Rider, the guys will attack a little bit more, be more aggressive, have more confidence in themselves. I hope that [our wrestlers realize] that they deserve to compete with these guys. We work them just as hard... and hopefully this weekend will put that [confidence] in them.” Senior 125-pounder Tommy Hoang started the Blue Devils off strong with a fourth-place finish. Hoang dropped a 5-3 decision to Boston University’s Jose Leon in the consolation finals after losing 6-2 to Penn’s Mason Lenhard in the semifinals. Lenhard, a sophomore who won the weight class, was a high school national champion and an NCAA qualifier last season.

22 and counting: Tar Heels exten By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

CHAPEL HILL For the 12th straight season, the victory bell will toll in the streets of Chapel Hill. The bell, which is awarded to the winner of the 88-year rivalry, has become virtually a myth to Dukies, as it has not been seen in Durham since the days when Steve Spurrier was head coach. Following a 52-17 loss Saturday at the hands of the Tar Heels, Duke and its football team will have to wait at least one more season before the bell, baby blue painted stand and

all, returns to Durham. The end result was the same as it has been for Duke’s last 22 contests, but for most of the first half and a few moments in the second half, the Blue Devils were playing the Tar Heels closely—despite the loss of All-ACC tight end Mike Hart to an ankle injury. Hart, who had been ACC player of the week the last two weeks, went down in the first half with a bum ankle and will undergo season-ending

until the fourth quarter to put it out,” UNC quarterback Ronald Curry said. “I think the team did a great job in the third quarter.” On the defensive side, North Carolina also took over, dominating the run almost as much as it did in the first half. Duke, on the other hand, collapsed under pressure, and the Tar Heels got more than 100 yards in the second half. In the end, UNC had ended its twogame skid, while for the Blue Devils, the result was the same as it has been most of the season—a gargantuan loss. “It was really good to win again—it seemed like those last two weeks would take forever,” Bunting said. “Our team

is very happy—l’m very happy. My hat’s off to Duke. They came out here and played hard, they’ve been doing that all year. Our guys responded very well, particularly in the second half, which was important to us—to come out and play well in the second half. They closed the gap, and we just took off from there.” The tale-of-two-halves theme was fairly typical for Duke, and is something Franks keeps talking about overcoming. He’ll have his last chance for a win on the season when the Blue Devils face Clemson Dec. 1 in Death Valley, S.C., in a make-up game from the Sept. 11 attacks. Regardless, his third straight loss

to his archrival since becoming head coach still hurts for the former Blue Devil tight end. “It’s always tough losing to Carolina,” Franks said. “Beating Carolina in every sport you’re playing is important.”

surgery today. “We are obviously disappointed for Mike to have his playing career at Duke end this way,” Duke coach Carl Franks said. “He has had both an outstanding season and career, and we wish him the best in his recovery from this injury.” Despite Hart’s injury, the Blue Devils were still close for over half the game. North Carolina struck blood first, scoring on two early possessions. On both drives, the Tar Heels made big gains on third down that resulted in scores. However, Duke quickly struck back as D. Bryant hit Ben Erdeljac for 49 yards on third-and-12, and the Blue Devils eventually scored when running back Chris Douglas leaped over the top of a huge pile for the score. The two teams traded punts for most of the uneventful second half, and it appeared as if the defenses would stalemate the offenses for a while. The Blue Devils were stuffing North Carolina by constantly blitzing up the middle, while Duke’s offensive line was collapsing like a house of cards under the pressure of the Tar Heel defense. Both styles were eliminating the run—Douglas had 19 yards at the half, and UNC tailback Willie Parker was limited to 34 yards. But the Tar Heels still went into the locker room with a 24-10 lead. “What they were doing, they were just ripping us up front,” Franks said. “That’s the best way I can describe it. We still had enough chances and enough plays, but we weren’t able to generate enough of a running game to give us a better chance of throwing the ball.” Duke came out firing in the second half, getting the first UNC punt at the Carolina 39, and taking it all the way for a touchdown to bring the game to 24-17. For a moment, it looked as if the tide was turning, and despite losing Hart the Blue Devils would make a game out of it. However, Carolina quickly answered, using the Blue Devils’ own medicine against them—reading the inside blitz and running outside pitches and screens for monster gains. They scored 21 points in the third quarter, and by the end it seemed as if everyone was getting in on the action for UNC. The Tar Heels had 560 yards of total offense, and had seven different players find the endzone. “We really wanted to come out heads up in the third quarter and not wait

Blue Devils* losing streak, 52-17

Duke’s defense surrenders 560 yards of total offense CHAPEL HILL —. Although the offense put up 17 points, the truth is Duke (0-10, 0-7 in the ACC) could have scored three times as much and still come out on the losing end. A defense that had given up 42, 59, 42 and 55 points in its last four games gave up another 52 to the Tar Heels Saturday, giving the team no chance to break a 12game losing streak in the rivalry-turned-celebration of UNC football. And the Tar Heels did it this time without the usual Duke turnovers or special teams breakdown. Instead, the Tar Heels earned their points, gaining a season-high 560 yards of offense and averaging 7.2 yards per play. North Carolina featured, statistically, the top two quarterbacks, the top two rushers and five of the top six wide receivers in the game.

The complete breakdown on defense was evident after Duke pulled to within 24-17 five minutes into the second half. Before newspaper editors could even think about rearranging their front pages, the Tar Heels scored touchdowns on their next three possessions, including two in am 81-second span, extending the lead to 45-17 with three minutes left in the third quarter. “Our defense came out and played well in the beginning of the second half,” Duke coach Carl Franks said. “We got the ball with good field position, took it down and‘scored, and it’s a seven-point game. At that point, we forgot about how to tackle, about how to block. We weren’t able to put two halves together, and they made a lot of great athletic plays on offense.” Franks is now 3-29 in his three years as head coach, including losses of 38-0, 59-21 and now 52-17 in the series against North Carolina. To Franks’ credit, he came out firing on defense, blitzing frequently and daring UNO’s quarterback-by-committee of oft-abused Ronald Curry and redshirt freshman Darian Durant to throw the ball. But throw they did, including a 72-yard pass from Curry to Sam Aiken to open the scoring. “We threw the ball frequently,” UNC coach John Bunting said. “It’s hard to run sometimes when you're getting blitzed over and over. We were able to pick up some long gainers, because that’s what happens sometimes when you blitz, and we were able to make some plays.” The Blue Devils’ problems on defense Saturday were the usual suspects this season—an inability to stop thirddown conversions and a tendency to give up the big play. Duke’s defense came into the game ranked last in the ACC in third-down conversions, allowing opponents to move the chains 49.2 percent of the time on third down. Saturday was no exception; the Tar Heels converted 10-of-18 tries, including a 31-yard pass on third-and-19 and a 16-yard pass on third-and-15 that led to a UNC field goal at the end of the first half. “We couldn’t make the plays, couldn’t make the tackles or couldn’t cover,” Franks said when asked about his team’s third down defense. “We had some good calls, and we weren’t able to make the tackles to give us an opportunity to get off the field.” UNC was also able to gain over 30 yards on six different plays, a stark contrast to Duke’s one big play on offense, a 49-yard pass from Blue Devil quarterback D. Bryant to Ben Erdeljac. All told, it was another poor showing for the defensive unit, which has only one more chance to redeem itself this season—a Dec. 1 visit to Clemson against preseason Heisman candidate Woodrow Dantzler. Considering how good the Blue Devils made Curry look, all signs point to another long day for the scoreboard operator. Completing 11-of-19 passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns, Curry far surpassed his previous season-highs of one touchdown pass and 127 yards, both against East Carolina. “You think Curry is dangerous...” Franks said. “Well that guy Dantzler is real dangerous, and he’s in the game all the time.” After looking at the success of his counterpart Curry, Dantzler must be salivating.

coach, Duke alumnus Tommy Amaker, to Michigan. New coach Louis Orr, who took the helm after leading Siena to a 20-11 season, must revive the once flourishing Seton Hall program from its disappointing 16-15 season of 2000-2001. Although unable to solidify its victory until the waning minutes of its contest

against San Francisco Friday, Seton Hall received promising performances from two of last season’s role players. Darius Lane, who followed Griffin as the Pirates’ second leading scorer last season, dominated the game with 27 points, seven three-pointers and seven rebounds, while point guard Andre Barrett displayed his on-court leadership with 17 points and four assists. Orr hopes his team improves even more in its battle against the Blue Devils. “You have a first-year coach, you have a young team with some experience, so it’s important to use every game to get better,” Orr said. “I think when our guys saw that we were playing Duke on the Internet, I was hoping that it wasn’t true.... We’re excited to be here playing against a program like Duke and Coach Krzyzewski. You get better when you’re challenged.” While improving seems to be the Pirates’ main goal, Duke’s primary aspiration is to do exactly what most believe it will—fly away from Maui with a championship trophy. However, other teams are salivating at a chance to dethrone the defending national champs. But these teams are vowing to not look ahead to later games because their first-round matches could be just as challenging. On Duke’s half of the bracket, the Blue Devils are joined by Seton Hall, South Carolina

and tournament host Chaminade. The South Carolina/Chaminade firstround matchup has incited interest because first-year Gamecock coach Dave Odom—who replaced Eddie Fogler in Columbia after serving as Wake Forest’s coach for 12 years —was an assistant at top-ranked Virginia in 1982 when a virtually unknown Chaminade squad upset the Cavaliers in one of college basketball’s most famous games. Maui Invitational chair Wayne Duke noted that the Silverswords’ historic upset put Chaminade on the college basketball map and gave rise to the idea of the school hosting a season-starting tournament like the one being played today at the Lahaina Civic Center. “The memory of 1982... is indelible in my mind. That’s one of the reasons I haven’t been back. I got tricked into this one,” Odom joked. “I really am pleased to be back. That was an unforgettable evening for sure, and certainly it was one that we enjoy talking back and revisiting as we go along.” On the other side of the bracket, UCLA returns All-America candidate Jason Kapono, who scored 17.2 points per game last season, and All-Pac-10 center Dan Gadzuric, who averaged 11.2 points and 8.6 rebounds per contest. The Bruins square off against Ball State, a team that went 18-12 last season. The final quarterfinal game pits Kansas, ranked No. 5 in the most recent Associated Press Top 25 poll, against Houston, which struggled last season to a 9-20 record. If the two favorites,

UCLA and Kansas, advance to the semifinals and relegate Houston and Ball State to the consolation bracket, Cougars coach Ray McCallum will square off against his protege. Cardinals coach Tim Buckley.

ANALYSIS

Inside

THE NOD

Seton Hall has a weak frontcourt after losing big men Eddie Griffin and Samuel Dalembert to the NBA. Look for the Blue Devils to go to Carlos Boozer early and often to give Duke a quick lead and get the Pirates’ big men in foul trouble. Boozer looked great in the preseason and should again dominate the paint.

Darius Lane and Andre Barrett might not be of the caliber of Jason Williams and Chris Duhon, but they won’t back down. Lane hit seven three-pointers against San Francisco, but this is Duke. Look for Williams, Duhon and Dahntay Jones to play stifling defense, forcing the Pirate guards into many costly turnovers. .C

o c

Duke’s weakness, if it had one last year, was its depth. Not anymore. Look for Casey Sanders, Nick Horvath and freshman Daniel Ewing to see significant minutes. The Pirates have good reserves in Ty Shine, swingman Jon Allen and Damion Fray. Unfortunately, none of these guys are taller than 6-foot-7. Duke has won this tournament twice before (1992 and 1997) and after two pre-season blowouts, the Blue Devils are ready to get the season underway. Duke will be well rested after its direct flight to Hawaii. Seton Hall got theLouis Orr era off to a good start beating San Francisco, but now must play the country’s No. 1 team.

The season officially starts today. Everything that happened last year can be thrown out the window. The Blue Devils will come out running and look to take it to the Pirates from the get-go. Both teams have great guards who can shoot the three, but the fact remains that Duke is too big and strong up front and its guards will pressure the Pirates all day with suffocating defense.

Duke’s frontcourt scores Lewis knocks out Rahman 6 points in loss to Rockets to regain heavyweight title

TOLEDO from page 1 They hit some big shots,” Goestenkors said of Toledo’s early second half performance. We came out and weren’t ready to play defensively, and we took some quick shots offensively. Overall, Toledo showed a lot of poise and patience! “They have so many weapons, it seemed every time we got a little cushion and felt good about a defense, somebody would step up and hit a big shot for them,” Goestenkors said. “They were hitting threes on our man and our zone. It didn t matter what we did because they had players come in and hit big shots.” Toledo’s last big shot came with 9:17 left in the game,launching the Rockets back in &

front. They would not surrender the lead again, holding on with clutch 8-for-12 free throw shooting down the stretch. Despite trailing, the Blue Devils did not relent, scoring four points in the last 21 seconds after Toledo had pushed the lead to 10. However, it turned out to be too little, too late for Duke. “We didn’t move at all,” Blue Devils sophomore Alana Beard said. ’We need to set more screens and do more of the little things right on both offense and defense. We can take this as a learning experience and go from here.” Beard led Duke with 19 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, while Mosch was perfect from the line and 2-of-4 from behind the arc for 16 points. However, Duke’s starting front court of sophomore Iciss Tillis and freshmen

Wynter Whitley and Monique Currie only scored a combined six points and totaled just nine rebounds. Meanwhile, their counterparts—Tia Davis, Teresea Kahle and Melantha Herron—accounted for 44 oftheir team’s 71 points and 23 of the Rockets’ 32 rebounds. It was a stark contrast to Duke’s Friday night game against Elon in which the Blue Devils dominate in the paint, scoring 46 points against the Phoenix. Aggressive play also allowed Duke to

travel to the free throw line 31 times. Tillis and Currie finished the game with 17 points apiece, and Whitley contributed 15 points on 6-for-7 shooting. Duke dominated Elon in all facets of the game, but its hustle and grit was especially prevalent. The Blue Devils won the rebound battle 64 to 31, and converted 28 second chance points. While another game less than only two days after a crushing victory could have been used to bolster Duke’s momentum, Ethlen felt that the quick turnaround gave his Toledo team an edge. “I think when you have an opportunity to prepare for one team for a long time that’s an advantage,” Ethlen said. “They had to play two games before us. We were able to put together a game plan. We had a pretty good plan coming into this game and our players executed great, and I’m just really proud of them.” Toledo 71, Duke 65 FINAL Duke (2-1)

Bv ED SCHUYLER

The Associated Press LAS VEGAS Lennox Lewis kept his anger bottled up until it exploded with a tremendous right-hand punch that made him heavyweight champion again. That fury came out with a crashing blow that knocked out Hasim Rahman in the fourth round Saturday night—one that was even better than the right hand Rahman used to knock out Lewis in the fifth round to win the title April 22. “He showed a lot of disrespect, but I’ve been keeping it all inside,” said Lewis, who was angered by Rahman’s insinuations about his sexuality. The right hand, set up by a short left hook, dropped Rahman flat on his back. He struggled up at the count of nine, but then fell to the canvas. Referee Joe Cortez signaled the fight was over at

1:29 of the round. “He hit me with a good shot and I couldn’t recover,” the 29-year-old Rahman said. “I’m no quitter, and getting knocked out is something that happens in boxing.”

Although Rahman’s instincts were to get up, his legs never got the message. Lewis, however, did a victory dance in the ring at Mandalay Bay and pounded his chest as he became the fourth fighter to regain the title from the man who beat him. The others were Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali and Evander Holyfield. Lewis could not resist gloating and shouted that Rahman should change his name from Hasim to “Has Been.” “I told you he was just a freshman in the game,” said Lewis, who engaged in a battle of jabs in the first'two rounds and then took control in the fourth. The victory set up a potential major money match for Lewis against

former champion Mike Tyson. “It will be the biggest fight in boxing,” Tyson said from Phoenix. “Start counting the days, Lennox, because I promise you they are numbered.”

The stunning ending preserved the 36-year-old Lewis’ career. He had said if

he couldn’t beat Rahman, there was no sense in continuing to fight. Lewis had to go to court to have Rahman give him an immediate rematch, and that provoked Rahman. Many boxing observers thought Lewis might play it cautiously—the way he has in past fights—and try to jab his way to victory. Lewis, looking much trimmer than he did when he lost the title to Rahman in South Africa, had more than just victory on his mind. He was thinking revenge and began throwing his right at the outset. It did not start taking effect until the third round, even though he cut Rahman over the left eye in the first. “I definitely wasn’t gun shy” Lewis said. “I got him in the fourth round, so I’m one up on him.”

According to a Compußox punch analysis, Lewis landed 72 of 144 punches thrown, and Rahman got home with 48 of 105. All three judges gave Lewis the first three rounds. The Associated Press gave Lewis two of the first three. The 6-foot-5 Lewis, who weighed 246 1/2 pounds—6 1/2 pounds under his career-high weight in the first fight—looked relaxed and confident from the start. Lewis, of Britain, was a 5-2 favorite and he looked every bit of it. As the fight progressed, it was the champion who became tentative. Lewis signaled the end might be in sight when he shook Rahman with a big right hand 20 seconds into the fourth round. Rahman said the left hook blinded him, and he never saw the

right hook coming, when asked about the knockout sequence. Each fighter made a minimum of $lO million for the pay-per-view match. Lewis will make much more than that should he fight Tyson.

NFL Update From wire reports Jeff 25 CHARLOTTE 49ers Garcia threw a seven22 yard touchdown pass Panthers to Terrell Owens and made a 2-point conversion with one second left in regulation. Then the quarterback helped set up Jose Cortez’s 26-yard field goal Sunday that lifted San Francisco to a 25-22 win over the Carolina Panthers. It was the fourth time this season Garcia rallied San Francisco (7-2) to either win or tie a game in the waning moments of the fourth quarter. The 49ers are 3-1 in overtime in 2001. And it gave the 49ers a season sweep over the Panthers (1-9), dropping Carolina coach George Seifert to 4-2 against the team he coached to two Super Bowl titles. It was Carolina’s ninth straight loss this season. Garcia finished 34-for-54 for 305 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Bears 27, Bucs 24

TAMPA, Fla. Jim Miller threw three touchdown passes to Marty Booker, and the Bears held on when Martin Gramatica’s 49-yard field goal bounced off the right upright as time expired. The Bears (7-2) have won twice in overtime this season after wiping out double-digit deficits in the closing minutes ofregulation. This time, they nearly let an 11-point lead slip away in the final seven minutes. Tampa Bay pulled within three on Brad Johnson’s quarterback sneak and two-point conversion pass to Mike Alstott with 2:29 to go. The Bears were unable to run out the clock, and the Bucs (4-5) moved in position to tie, but

Gramatica missed.

Johnson was 40-for-56 for 399 yards.

Cardinals 45, Lions 38

Jake Plummer TEMPE, Ariz. passed for 334 yards and four touchdowns, two to David Boston, as the Cardinals rallied from 10 points down to keep the Lions winless. It was the sixth consecutive time Detroit (0-9) has lost by a touchdown or less. Plummer led the Cardinals to a

fourth-quarter comeback for the 14th time in his career and second time this season. Arizona (3-6) had just 13 touchdowns in its first eight games.

Redskins 17, Broncos 10 DENVER

Kent Graham threw

two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter as the Redskins won their fourth straight after opening the season with five losses. Graham led the Redskins to all their points, replacing Tony Banks after he suffered a concussion and was carried

off the field late in the first half. Following a Denver fumble with the score 10-10, Graham capped a 50-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown pass to Michael Westbrook. Playing in the snow, Washington finished with six fumbles, three of which it lost, and seven dropped passes. Denver (5-5) had six fumbles, two of which were lost, and five drops.

Raiders 34, Chargers 24

OAKLAND, Calif. Jerry Rice caught three of Rich Gannon’s four touchdown passes, including a 20-yard score with 2:46 to play. Rice caught eight passes for 131 yards in his biggest game since joining the Raiders (7-2) in the offseason and

his first 100-yard receiving game since the 1999 season finale with the 49ers. Oakland won its 10th straight regular-season home game, the longest streak in the NFL. Ronney Jenkins scored on a 93-yard kickoff return for the Chargers (5-5), who lost their third straight after a promising start. Jenkins also had a 67yard return that set up a field goal.

Steelers 20, Jaguars 7

Kordell Stewart hit Hines Ward for a 28-yard score and also ran for a TD. Stewart, forced to carry the offense with Jerome Bettis held to minus yardage for much of the game, threw for 266 yards and ran for 51 for the Steelers (7-2). Ward had nine catches for 112 yards, his first 100-yard game in the NFL. With RB Fred Taylor injured and QB Mark Brunell unexpectedly sitting out with a strained right quad, the Jaguars (3-7) got only Elvis Joseph’s 95-yard kickoff return.

PITTSBURGH

Falcons 23, Packers 20

GREEN BAY, Wis. Green Bay melted down on an unseasonably warm day at Lambeau Field. Needing about 15 yards to get in field-goal range, Brett Favre instead threw a deep pass that Ashley Ambrose intercepted at the two-yard-line with 1:08 remaining. Ambrose also picked off Favre’s first pass on a day when temperature at kickoff was 59 degrees more normal for Atlanta (5-4). Favre lost for just the 12th time in 75 home games, was intercepted three times and fumbled twice, losing one. The Packers (6-3), winners of nine straight at home, also lost safety Leßoy Butler, who was making his 128th consecutive start, to a broken shoulder blade. Chris Chandler, back after missing a game with bruised ribs, completed 29 of 50 passes for 352 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Swimming sets 7 school records at UNC’s Nike Cup By CLINTON McHUGH The Chronicle The mens and women’s swimming and diving teams had an impressive weekend in Chapel Hill,

shattering seven school records at the NCAA Nike Cup Invitational Championship. Out of a field of eight teams, the women finished fifth with 370 points, while the men placed sixth with a score of 261 points’. UNC won the meet on both sides, its women tallying 874 points to destroy second-place Virginia Tech (639 points), and its men winning ah only slightly closer race over Louisiana State, 875-764. The way we swam this weekend really exceeded our expectations, assistant coach Whitney Greene said. “It was just inspiring to watch some of their performances.” Two of the most impressive swims of the weekend came from sophomores Lauren Cornet and Lauren Hancock, who each broke one of the school records set by former Olympian Nancy Hogshead in 1980. Cornet shattered the record in the 200-yard breaststroke by over a second on her way to a second-place finish in 2:02.87; while Hancock claimed the record in the 100yard butterfly, besting Hogshead’s time by nearly halfa-second, and finished ninth with her time of 56.03. Hancock’s time was also fast enough to qualify for an NCAA “B cut,” meaning that she may receive an invitation to the championship this spring. “To have two of Nancy Hogshead’s records fall in the same meet is incredible, especially since they’re 21 years old,” Greene said. “We’re really hoping Lauren Hancock will make it to NCAAs to give Cornet some company. To have two athletes at NCAAs would be unheard of for a non-scholarship program.” Transfer Katie Fay also made her mark on the Duke record boards over the weekend, setting two of

her own. Her leadoff split in the 400-yard medley relay of 57.69 was the fastest in Duke history, while her time of 2:03.5 in the 200-yard backstroke earned her both the school record and a lOth-place finish in the event. Sophomore Amy Halligan also had a good weekend,, finishing fourth in the 400-yard IM with a time of 4:26.16. She also swam the butterfly leg of the 400yard medley relay along with Fay, Cornet and Hancock that set a school record with its fifth-place finish in 3:51.40. Halligan, Cornet and Hancock later joined with freshman Chrissy Anderson to break yet another relay record, this time in the 800-yard freestyle relay, in 7:38.03 to place fifth. “There’s no one else you’d want to see succeed more then these two,” senior captain Lauren Nathan said of Halligan and Hancock. “They’re two of the hardest workers on the team, and they really deserve it.” Junior Justin Ward led the men’s team, setting a

new school record in the 200-yard IM. Ward’s time of 1:53.86 landed him in 12th place in the event and broke the old record, set at 1:54.01 in 1992 by Scott Davis. Senior captain Chris Fleizach swam well, finishing 12th in the 100-yard backstroke (51.55), 11th in the 200-yard backstroke (1:51.92) and 18th in the 200yard butterfly (1:53.85. Junior Ryan Spoon placed 11th in the 100-yard breaststroke with his time of 56.74, missing the school record by only 37 hundredths of a second. Spoon later came back to have an amazing swim in the 200-yard breaststroke, swimming a 2:04.88 to finish second. The swimmers return to action after Thanksgiving to take on East Carolina, a fellow Nike Cup competitor. The men were defeated by the Pirates at the invitational by 60 points, but the women destroyed ECU by 165.5, giving them a little extra confidence heading into their duel meet.

University awaits new vice provost Several faculty

� INFORMATION from page 1 seek °ut candidates with a minority background, Morgan said adding that the area of information technology has a relatively small pool of minorities. He said the semifinal candidate pool mcluded both racial minorities and women, but he declined to comment on the finalist pool. Under Leydon, the University’s various technology bodies were united under OIT and administrative computing systems, such as students’ registration process, were significantly upgraded. Now, with the interim guidance of Michael Pickett, special assistant to the provost, the focus has shifted toward incor-

better

porating technology into academic activities. As a model, he said the University has particularly looked at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. “The theme is that we are trying to move central IT support from primarily concerned with administrative systems to academic computing,” said Robert Wolpert, member of the search committee and professor in the Institute for Statistics and Decision Sciences. That vision is likely to incorporate a wide range of improvements, although administrators continue to grapple with how encompassing that range will be. It

will almost certainly include creating a wireless network over the entire campus, but now the administration appears to be leaning against an undergraduate laptop requirement. In addition, the latest vision for student residential life includes possibly adding more computer clusters and other technology to dormitories. “Where people use the existing facilities will give us some guidance in what the future uses will be,” said Provost Peter Lange. Many of the decisions on how best to proceed with academic computing will wait until the new vice provost arrives and articulates a vision, Morgan said. When to make infrastructure improvements, for example, can be difficult to judge because technology changes so quickly. Developing a vision for technology is also complicated, Morgan said, because the future needs of professors and students are so diverse. He suggested that creating a useful infrastructure can be a starting point. “The question is: Are there some subjects that could be better presented-with new technology?” Morgan said. “Having a superior set of resources here at Duke makes it easier for us to do work and attract researchers from around the world.”

therefore have trouble performing at their best,” said junior Thaniyyah Ahmad. While many BSA proposals were similar to those of other groups, other initiatives include improvements to Central Campus apartments, as well as a long-term plan for the Mary Lou Williams Center. Like BSA, the Duke Allies and Gothic Queers presenters chose to discuss the socially stifling campus climate, which they attributed to the highly greek and sports-centered social atmosphere. Both lifestyles, junior Jillian Johnson said, lead to the reinforcement of gender schemas—a phenomenon that goes hand-inhand with homophobia. Johnson said Duke has been

rated in the top five “homophobic schools” by U.S. News & World Report magazine every year for the last three years. The last speakers were senior Patty Chen and Spectrum President Polentzi Narvarte, who emphasized the importance of the Office of Intercultural Affairs. Chen and Polentzi stressed the need for greater staffing and funding for that office in order for it to catch up with Duke’s increasing minority population. The luncheon, sponsored by the Office of Intercultural Affairs, was the second ever of its kind. Last year’s event was successful in setting the tone for cultural and ethnic programming initiatives and funding for 2000-2001 academic year and event planners.

left department MICROBIOLOGY from page 1 ment, or their fit will be better with certain other departments on campus,” he said. Although half the department’s faculty have joint appointments, a number of primary faculty have left in the past two years. Sharyn Endow transferred to the Department of Cell Biology, and Ken Kreuzer transferred to biochemistry, although he still teaches a graduate course in microbial pathogenesis. After 22 years at Duke, Deepak Bastia, an expert in plasmid DNA replication, left last summer to work at the Medical University of South Carolina, where he holds an endowed chair. In addition to White’s departure in 1999, Phillip Hanna, an expert in infectious disease, left to go to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Hanna said he left the department on good terms, but that the University would not give the department the resources to become an expert in microbial pathogenesis. He said the administration would not allow Keene to hire more faculty because they did not have a market interest in the field. The field, which dawned in the mid-19th century with Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch, has struggled for relevance in the wake of the genetics revolution. But Keene said bioterrorism and emerging diseases have become areas of growing interest and that more grants have become available for their study. “We didn’t have a microbial pathogenesis critical mass,” Keene said. “We made a good decision to combine for recruitment. We were concerned, worried we weren’t growing to the extent we’d hoped.” White, who said he came to the University because of Joklik and the department’s quality, said he thought the main problem was the 1993 split. “They never really managed to recruit a world class scientist into that department [as chair],” he said. “No one of that stature is going to take over half the department. I think that was the first thing.”

Move to help workers The University’s decision to join the proven Worker Rights Consortium should increase the safety of laborers in apparel factories

Last •

week, the University announced that it will not renew its contract with New Era Cap Company due to allegations of unsafe working conditions in the corporation’s Derby, N.Y., factory. A review revealed that the company has not implemented a program to protect workers from injury and illness in the workplace, citing among other things that the rate of muscolo-skeletal disorders and of accidental needle punctures there are well above the national average. Duke’s New Era decision is a welcome one, and its subsequent decision to join the Worker Rights Consortium—the anti-sweatshop group that conducted the review—also deserves praise. With Duke apparel made in many factories across the world, the University has an obligation to its consumers to make sure that the products it licenses are made under safe conditions. Unfortunately, time and time again, this has proven untrue for many universities across the country. Holding multinational corporations accountable through national anti-sweatshop groups is one of the most efficient and effective ways to do so, and among the WRC and its cousin the Fair Labor Association, the WRC has clearly done a better job. The WRC has proven itself not only in the case ofNew Era but in the past as well. Last year, the group helped reveal a series oflabor abuses at a Nike factory in Kukdong, Mexico, where company officials were accused offiring workers who went on strike in protest of rotten food and low wages. Since then, WRC officials say the company has reformed itself. This proven track record is more than can be said for the FLA, with whom the University initially partnered. With similar goals as the WRC, the FLA uses different methods, cooperating more with the companies themselves. About half of the FLA’s board of directors are representatives from corporations. Although discussion with monitored companies is not disadvantageous in itself, some of the FLA’s methods are. For example, FLA corporations choose which factories can be inspected from an approved list of at-risk factories. Furthermore, the FLA does not monitor companies—such as New Era—that are not members of the organization. Duke should constantly re-examine its partnership with the FLA, and if the organization does not prove itself soon, cut ties with the group. Such a move would be financially—l percent of the University’s licensing revenues go to the FLA as dues—and morally warranted. Still, as the University continues on its anti-sweatshop trajectory, recognizing the economic roots of poor working conditions and lower wages in other countries would be prudent. The only way to eradicate poverty itself is through many approaches on several fronts; simply raising the wage has the potential to cause unemployment and raise the cost of living for all citizens in a given community. The WRC and FLA are just part of a broad approach toward improving the lives of laborers around the world.

Drinking solution to sexual assault remains infeasible I was both heartened and disappointed by the Nov. 13

article about the sexual assault forum. It is encouraging to see that Duke Student Government and the Duke

community are addressing a problem that is rampant at Duke. However, I was dismayed to read, “For many of the panelists, the most compelling solution to sexual assault at Duke would be to decrease drinking among the for referenced story, see

I am aware that there are statistics to prove the correlation between alcohol and sexual assault. The problem is

that at Duke and other col-

communication. Guys and girls will drink irresponsibly at times, but if we create an environment where students respect and look out for each other, then sexual assault will be reduced. Asking Duke students to curb their drinking habits is wishful thinking. Awareness and education will be more effective solutions.

Many Duke students are going to drink, so rather than bemoan that fact, students should be constantly reminded of values such as Ari Medoff respect, responsibility and Trinity ’O3 http: www.chronicle.duke.edu story.phptarticle_id=24296 //

You might try commenting, just once, per column on something this football team has done well in a game.

SHARE offers a different type of campus diversity You know, if I didn’t know better I would think that the administration was trying to get rid ofSHARE. But that can’t be it, can it? We

all know, after all, how much diversity is valued in the Gothic Wonderland—and SHARE is nothing if not the very embodiment of diverse ideas and paths living in harmony. Why, then, does the University seem

intent upon exorcising it, seemingly doing everything in its power to place SHARE’S survival in jeopardy yet again? Perhaps the administration is only interested in the conformist sort of diversity, wherein you have to be an easily identifiable minority group with popular media backing in order to qualify for humane treatment.

You ask, “What more could go wrong?” Well I think you already know the answer. I know that saving a bed on West Campus for every rising sophomore will add a diversity of race and religion to our main quad, but you are forgetting something. Discrimination does not come only in the form of racism or sexual discrimination, but also age discrimination. Is it my fault that I am in the class of 2004?

But I make it for another, more personal reason: Blair is always there when I need him. I needed him three years ago when I was trying to understand the Clinton administrations plan to resume bombing of Iraq as a substitute for having weapons inspectors on the ground there. If the inspections, to which Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein agreed as part of a deal to save his hide, were aimed at proving whether Iraq was manufacturing and stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, how could bombing raids—and limited raids, at that—substitute for the inspectors? The only way bombs could solve the problem is if we knew both that the outlawed weapons were being amassed and precisely where. But in that case, we wouldn’t need inspectors. Moreover, it seemed to me, that years of on-the-ground inspections had turned up very little evidence to support our suspicions of what Hussein was up to. That’s when Blair came riding to

the rescue. He told us—at a joint press conference with Clinton, who had told us nothing— that Britain had just published a document detailing everything the inspectors had uncovered in a half-dozen years of work. The document also listed what

helpful. You will recall the early assurances that Osama bin Laden was the master hand behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the demand that Afghanistan’s Taliban turn him over. The response from Kabul was that ifwe supplied proof of bin Laden’s involvement, the Taliban would surrender him to a neutral country, President George W. Bush said no deal, and maybe it was, tactically, the right thing to do. But didn’t you wonder—at least a little—how much proof we actually had? Didn’t you wish we could have been shown a little of it—not enough to compromise our intelligence sources, of course, but perhaps enough to show that our people were on the ball? The proof was never offered. What we got instead were increasingly confident assertions, including this little gem from Secretary-General NATO George Robertson on Sept. 26: “It becomes clearer and clearer that

Smoke Room Interview: Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter This interview, with Daniel Radcliffe, the new megaof Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which hit theaters around the country Friday, is the fourth in a series of Smoke Room Interviews, designed to shed light on the personalistar

ties ofpublic figures in an informal setting. The interview was conducted by

Sparky McQueen, Chronicle columnist \ and one helluva guy. Sparky: So, Daniel, I saw your new Sparky movie on Saturday and your acting iu f),,A r Pn , was absolutely atrocious. Can you tell xMonday, u Monday v in I'iji ,

me a little about that: Radcliffe: I’ve had a few people mention that to me since the movie came out. Was it really that bad? Sparky: Did you see the movie? Radcliffe: I’ve seen bits and pieces of it. I didn’t jii

think I did that poorly. Sparky; No, it was really, really bad. I kept wondering to myself which casting agent got fired for picking you out ofthe millions oflittle boys who could have done a better job than you did. I mean, they could have totally abandoned the story, cast a kid in a wheelchair and pushed him around in every scene, and it would have been more realistic than the show you put on. Radcliffe: Yeah, I guess it was pretty bad. I had a few people at the premiere tell me I could be up for an Oscar, but I guess they were just being nice. Sparky: An Oscar? Right. They might beat you with one, but it’ll be a cold day in Hell when you win one. Who told you that? Radcliffe: My parents. Sparky: Wow. They must love you very much to tell a whopper like that. Radcliffe: They’re great. They’ve been really supportive of me. Sparky: In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,

you worked pretty closely with a very talented newcomer to the movie industry, Emma Watson, who did a magnificent job playing Hermione Granger. What was it like working with her? Radcliffe; It was great. She and I got along splendidly, and I think we worked very well together. Sparky: I’m curious... when you two were shooting the various scenes of the movie, did she ever stop the scene and yell things like, “Jesus Christ, you are the worst actor I’ve ever seen,” or “Who hired this no-talent clown?” Radcliffe: Not that I can remember, but there were a lot of takes. Sparky: Because it seems to me that it would be really frustrating to work with someone as horrible as you were. I mean, I’ve done a bit of acting myself—none quite as pathetic as yours—and I know that bad acting can be contagious. I’m really impressed that she didn’t catch your stink on camera.

‘There are about 30,000 little starving Afghan refugee boys with more talent in their left pinky toes than you could ever dream 0f...’ Radcliffe: She was brilliant, wasn’t she? Sparky; Oh yeah. Fm amazed she even agreed to work with you. Radcliffe: I guess we lucked out. Sparky: I read somewhere that the total price tag for the movie was around $lB3 million, and I would assume that even though this was your first major

movie that you were compensated with a fairly hefty chunk of that money. Radcliffe: I’m not really allowed to talk about it, but it was seven figures. Sparky: Do you ever feel guilty about that? Radcliffe: What do you mean? Sparky; What I mean is, there are about 30,000 little starving Afghan refugee boys with more talent in their left pinky toes than you could ever dream of, and they paid you over a million dollars to star in the most guaranteed Hollywood blockbuster in a century. It just seems a little unfair to me. Radcliffe: 0h... I hadn’t really thought about it

that way.

Sparky: Let me switch gears here a bit.... J.K. Rowling, the previously unknown author of the enormously successful Harry Potter series of books, has been very reclusive since her books starting breaking sales records back in 1997. Tell me, have you ever met her? Radcliffe: Yes, in fact, I have. I ran into her as we were leaving the movie premiere about a month ago. I expected her to be quiet and strange, but she seemed very warm and friendly. Sparky: So she didn’t seem angry? Radcliffe; Not at all. Why would she be angry? Sparky; Because you completely ruined her character and cost her millions with that whole “Bad Acting” vibe you were grooving on. Hell, I’m surprised she didn’t attack you. Radcliffe: I guess I’m just pretty lucky. Sparky: Ya think? Sparky McQueen says that if you’re thinking about going to see Harry Potter, take seven dollars out ofyour wallet, blow your nose on it, fold it in half and drop it at the East Campus bus stop. It’d be a lot better use of your money, and it won’t suck two hours out ofyour life.
