Duke admissions Dole visits enthusiastic crowd at Page to notify via web By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

Elizabeth Dole, Woman’s College ’5B, rode into Page Auditorium on the back of a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle to kick off a rally for her U.S. Senate campaign Thursday. Dole climbed to the stage, took off her biker’s jacket, and began speaking to a crowd of several hundred, composed of students from Duke and other local colleges. She announced the formal launching of the Students for Dole website—www.studentsfordole.com—with the purpose of connecting to young voters in North Carolina and encouraging them to get involved and support

Christoph Guttentag, director of Undergraduate Admissions, said that Duke will attempt to let applicants know of their admissions status online starting this year. By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Even as a scandal rages about Princeton University’s unauthorized access to Yale University’s online admissions information, Duke plans to post its acceptance decisions online for early admissions applicants this year. The University, however, plans on using personalized passwords to secure the planned site. “We’re considering putting our information online—but not like Yale,” said Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions. “In terms of admissions, nothing we do has more impact than sending out decision letters. There is no place to be more careful.” Guttentag said the admissions office already has a working website for accepted applicants with security, See ONLINE ADMISSIONS on page 10

GerKARLSRUHE, Germany man authorities said Thursday that an al-Qaeda cell in Hamburg identified the World Trade Center as a target nearly two years before two hijacked airliners were flown into the towers. The country’s top prosecutor, Kay Nehm, said investigators had learned that plans for the attacks were well under way in November 1999 when four members of the Hamburg group went to Afghanistan. The group returned in early 2000, and its members immediately approached flight schools in the United States, he said. “Thirty one flight schools were

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON In an unusual public statement about the death penalty, three Supreme Court justices said the time is right to consider abolishing capital pun-

ishment for killers who committed their crimes as minors. Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer could not persuade the rest of the court to delay Wednesday’s execution of a Texas inmate for a killing committed when he was 17. Toronto Patterson had asked the high court to delay his execution and consider whether such executions are unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment.The three justices, part of the court’s liberal wing, said Patterson’s execution should be put off at least until the Supreme Court next meets in September to consider cases for the coming term.

Nehm described a conversation, which he said was recounted by a witness during the course of their investigation, in which Marwan al-Shehhi, who is suspected of being the pilot of one of the planes, mentioned the twin towers to a Hamburg librarian in April or May 2000 and boasted,

“Given the apparent consensus that exists among the states and in the international community against the execution of a capital sentence imposed on a juvenile offender, I think it would be appropriate for the court to revisit the issue at the earliest opportunity,” Stevens wrote in a dissent. All nine justices vote on whether to halt dozens of executions nationally each year. Usually, the vote is kept secret and the court issues only a dry, one- or two-sentence order denying the inmate’s request for a delay. In Wednesday’s public dissent, Stevens said he opposed executions of minor killers when the court last considered the question in 1989, and would do so again. Ginsburg and Breyer did not go as far. They said only that the court should revisit the question considering the June decision on retarded killers.

Conner to begin Medical physicist takes GSPC helm new DPD search This is the fifth story in a five-part series profiling various student leaders this year.

� After one candidate was selected and then resigned, another was disqualified and yet another withdrew from the race, Durham will begin anew its search for a police chief. By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle Seven months after former Durham police chief Teresa Chambers left her post for a job at the U.S. Park Service in Washington, D.C., the city of Durham has yet to find a permanent replacement. And now the search for a new chief will begin again. City Manager Marcia Conner announced Thursday morning her decision to reopen the search at a press conference. By prolonging the pursuit, Conner once again rejected the option of simply appointing one-time finalist and local favorite, Interim Chief Steve Chalmers. Conner announced Chalmers was back in the running Monday, but conerns remain about his record. Chalmers was initially cut from the search in early August after a city-hired search firm said he had been “untruthful” about a 1982 domestic violence arrest. “I am disappointed that [Conner] did not choose Mr. Chalmers,” said City Council member Howard Clement. “I admire her manifesting the courage to make the decision that she made, in light of the fact that a majority of the council would have preferred

her to do otherwise.” Chalmers could not be reached for comment. Conner estimated the search would take about six weeks, but council member John Best said he thinks 90 days is a more realistic estimate. He said that because the city has already conducted an extensive search, the process should run more smoothly. Best said he recognizes that Conner’s decision should not be a hasty one. “[The police chief] is responsible for the safety of this community,” he explained. “This position’s too important to rush.” Best stressed that he does not think prolonging the search will have a tangible effect on the quality ofpolice enforcement.

Clement said Conner’s announcement, which he called “perhaps the most important decision that she will make during her tenure,” reflects the fact that the city manager thinks the police department needs a change in leadership that an outside hire would provide.

He heads a diverse 6,000-member community, plays the piano and enjoys intense ultimate Frisbee games, but in his spare time, Rob Saunders, this year’s Graduate and Professional Student Council president, is attempting to read all ofWestern literature. “Being a physicist, I feel as though I’m under-read,’’ said

Saunders,

third-year

physics student. He is currently reading William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury,” but says he favors the realism and optimism Meet of Sinclair Lewis. Tyour Saunders, a native of Amelia, Va., grew up on a farm “with a lot CAMPUS of cows.” Following his 2000 graduation from the College of LEADERS William and Mary, he headed directly to Duke to pursue a doctorate in medical physics. In the future, he hopes to establish a career either teaching, researching or working in a hospital radiology department. “Rob’s a take-charge kind of person,” said Elayne Heisler, GPSC omsbudperson and former president. “You want someone who takes over to continue what you started. He’s a physicist—he thinks things through in steps. You have to get from A to B, and he’s applied that well to the position.” Parking and transportation issues are at the top of Saunders’ agenda for this year, but he also plans to address child care, safer housing for graduate fessional students, on-campus social space and building community through interdepartmental relations. In addition, Saunders has formulated a plan for GPSC to host a community lunch series. The first will bring together the leaders from many of the schools to discuss lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender concerns, as well as gender, racial and ethnic issues. Later in the semester, the forums will discuss general graduate and professional student issues.

“One of the goals of GPSC is to make sure we are advocating the needs of all graduate and professional students,” Saunders said. “One ofthe problems is that once we self-segregate, we don’t hear a broad range of perspectives.” After being elected GPSC president last spring, Saunders stepped down from his role as vice president of the physics department’s Graduate Student Organization.

GSPC PRESIDENT ROB SAUNDERS, a third-year graduate student in medical physics, has already been a strong voice on parking issues. “His position was more administrative. The vice president keeps the organization structured and is responsible for keeping track of everyone,” said Michael Stenner, last year’s GSO president and a sixth-year physics student. “It aligned well with his personality and skills set.... He is responsible and organized, which was invaluable for me.” Saunders and Davison Council President Ali Raja spent much of last year working to increase both the interaction and cooperation between the various groups within the graduate and medical schools.

I thought that it was a cool idea to have students get together at the beach,” said sophomore Hannah Ludwin, a peer educator. “It sparked my interest.” Wasiolek said the University chose Duke’s small coastal campus to enrich students’ understanding of the University. “With the location being at Beaufort, students get to see a part of Duke that they may never have seen,”

class move-in. “I had heard that in previous years the retreat was a little bit longer,” said sophomore Jennifer Beall of Women in Engineering. “I truly enjoyed the retreat and wished we had more time than the two days or so.” Ludwin also voiced some suggestions about the retreat’s scheduling. “It was such a packed schedule that we did not have much free time. I wish we had more time to develop friendships,” she said. Such suggestions are exactly what the administrators said they are looking for. “We want to always continue to raise the standard of this retreat,” Caldwell said. “Perhaps we can work with the student facilitators of the retreat earlier on in the semester in order to engage students even more and enhance what the students want to do.” Another suggestion Caldwell made was in regards to overall campus awareness about the opportunity. Applications for the Beaufort Leadership Retreat are available during the Spring semester. “We want to make sure that all students know about this opportunity, not just students who are in [major] leadership roles,” she said. “Our goal is to have a crosscut of leaders.”

Wasiolek said. At today’s meeting, administrators will review and

discuss these aspects of the retreat using student evaluations. “We aim to make this retreat studentcentered,” Assistant Dean of Students Andrea Caldwell said. “We want the students to run the course of the retreat. And we also want the retreat to appeal to all students.” Melinda Roper, assistant dean ofstudent advising and programming and one of the planners of the retreat, supported this goal. “We aspire to improve the

There’s a catch: “You will be responsible for being a serious, dedicated participant who will carry out a year-long commitment to a student organization.” About 40 student leaders took the University up on its offer in late August, and today administrators will meet for the annual debriefing meeting of the Duke Student Leadership Retreat. The retreat, with its emphasis on managing student groups, is now in its fourth year of existence. Each year, student leaders from various campus organizations, along with administrators and professors, get together at the Beaufort Marine Lab in a weekend-long discussion of the components ofeffective leadership. Skills like event planning and programming, networking and developing and promoting integrity among their peers are emphasized through a series of workshops. These sessions are aimed at engaging and encouraging student leaders to develop innovative, creative ideas for their Duke career and beyond. Overall, administrators and students alike reported the retreat a success. “I would definitely recommend the retreat to anyone—l had a great time,” said senior Will Melendez of the Latino student group Mi Gente. “Each group of students did a great job at presenting their ideas, and I got to know students that I never thought I would.” The outcome of promoting interaction among van-

Reeve to open Edens lots for some students on weekends By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

To accommodate students who do not live on West Campus, but who still like to hang out there on the weekends, the University will give those students weekend card access to two Towerview Drive parking lots. Starting Sept. 13, students who live on East Campus, Central Campus, in Trent Drive Hall or off campus will be able to park in the Edens B and C lots from 7 p.m. Friday to midnight Sunday. Employees who have permits for those lots will have access to the Card Gym lot during those times. “In my short time here, this was one of the first things I got asked to do,” said Cathy Reeve, director of transportation and parking services. “I think it is a nice thing to do for students.” The change will allow those who do not live on West to visit on the weekends without worrying about finding a spot. “I remember last year as freshmen, we’d come to West and it was such a pain trying to find where to park,” sophomore Meredith Williams said. “This will be really nice for [freshmen].” To ensure that non-West students have access to those lots, the University will ticket West Campus residents and others who park there during the weekends. Duke Student Government President Joshua Jean-Baptiste said he supported the opening of the lots to students but regretted

that all students would not be allowed to use them. “It’s not a good solution,” he said. “I would like to open the Edens lots and the Blue Zone to all undergraduate students on the weekends and allow students to park where they prefer.” Associate Vice President of Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni said he wanted students with Blue Zone permits to stay in the Blue Zone, which he said was

safer

because it is gated and equipped with cameras. Also, he added, if West Campus residents can use the Edens lots, they will fill them, preventing non-West residents from parking. The lots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Cars left in the lot after midnight Sunday will be towed to make sure employees have spaces Monday morning. Reeve said the change has taken a long time to initiate because of concern that cars would not vacate the lots in due time. There will be a 30-day trial period, in which the University will observe how many people use the lot and how many are being ticketed and towed. Reeve will reevaluate the plan based on data gathered during that time. Joe Pietrantoni

Senate okays House version of spending bill

Comfort Zone: Sex and God Race,

Beyond the

The Chronicle

The Senate approved the House version of a resolution authorizing state spending at reduced levels through Sept. 30, while budget negotiations continued Thursday. The resolution’s intent is to capture savings that both the House and Senate are contemplating in their budget plans. By adopting the House version, legislators delayed a provision to cut their daily expense money.

The original Senate resolution would have ended the $lO4 daily expense allowance starting Sept. 1. The House version pushed back that date to Oct. 1. Senate Democrats said the expense allowance is necessary to allow people who are not wealthy to serve in the legislature. The resolution now awaits Gov. Mike Easley’s signature. A final budget agreement will probably not be reached until October, most legislators now believe, as House and Senate budget negotiators are currently deadlocked over how to go about a swap between $333 million in reimbursements to local governments and revenues generated by a half-cent sales tax.

Lawmakers pass bill to head off freeze on children’s insurance State lawmakers have passed legislation that will avert an enrollment freeze in an insurance program that provides health care to children of the working poor. The bill, which now awaits Gov. Mike Easley’s signature, means the N.C. Health Choice program will be allowed to continue accepting new children after Sept. 1, when a freeze had been scheduled to go into effect. See N.C. BRIEFS on page 8

Conflicts involving race, sex and God have inflamed human passions for centuries—starting wars, toppling empires and, in some cases, even bringing great happiness. So organizers of a new program entitled “Beyond the Comfort Zone” think they might heat things up on campus by mixing all three elements together. TTie campus-wide creative competition for students will showcase projects that explore racial, sexual and religious identity and their relation to ethics. Teams of students from West Campus quads, Trent Drive Hall, Central Campus and East Campus dormitories will submit proposals for skits, benches, murals and other visual or dramatic projects. Two entries from each residential unit will receive a grant of up to $2OO for materials, said Bruce Lawrence, Nancy and Jeffrey Marcus humanities professor and professor of Islamic studies. The E.L. Wiegand Foundation is providing funding. The deadline for proposals is Sept. 15, and a festival for all the works is scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 17-20. Lawrence and Kenan Institute for Ethics Director Elizabeth Kiss developed the idea, originally intended to get students talking about the issue of race on campus. But as discussions continued, organizers realized that race was too limiting a subject, Kiss said. “[The inclusion of sex and God] came out of the sense that these are issues that are all very important and that we often don’t do a job of talking about honestly” she said. “That kind of honest encounter that goes beyond the comfort zone is what is needed to really build community.” Student projects must incorporate at least two of the three topics and approach the endeavor within an

ethical framework. “The idea is to have Duke undergraduates explore how social relations develop, why do people get together in fraternities and sororities and independent groups, and how do they think about people of the opposite sex and the same sex?” Lawrence asked. “And, importantly, does any of this have anything to do with God?”

In an effort to stimulate conversation on some of the most divisive topics on campus, professors and administrators are asking students to express their views in a new contest. CONTEST •

East Campus dormitories, West Campus quads, Trent Drive Hall and Central Campus are eligible to submit two entries each. Entries must be “creative projects” that address at least two of the three topics. Projects can be in any medium: skits (at most 15 mins.), banners, manifestos, benches, murals, sculptures or musical compostions.

Official entries will be eligible to apply for up to $2OO for materials to complete their project.

The program is being advertised to students in multiple ways, including via e-mail listservs, on screensavers on library computers and through word of mouth, Assistant Dean of Students Andrea Caldwell said. Residential advisors, graduate assistants and residence coordinators are also spreading the word as well as providing guidance on the projects. Nick Csikesz, a student on the organizing committee, said the competition will allow participants to think about issues that they do not encounter at Duke on a day-to-day basis. “Ideally this could get a good amount of participation,” Csikesz said. “But as much as getting a lot of people to see that this is happening is important, it is more important that these types of issues are discussed.” The program also features a film and lecture series, with Brooklyn Babylon a 2000 film that presents a cross-cultural Romeo and Juliet story, kicking off events Sept. 19. The lecture series is still in the works. Kiss urged students to visit the competition’s website at www.duke.edu/web/comfyzone to learn more. ,

Trollin’ in the rain At the end of the first week of classes, students donned umbrellas against the drizzling rain to walk along the Bryan Center walkway.

How does one do culture and how does culture "do" you? This course aims at exploring the dynamics of culture: how it structures the meanings and values through which we organize experience and how it is constantly at work in producing and making plausible concepts, systems and ideas to explain who we are, who the others are and how the world works. The course will have a theoretical component-with readings by authors such as Raymond Williams, Theodor Adorno, and Louis Althusser-but will focus on the critical examination of analyses of a range of cultural productsincluding TV, film, plays, working out, computer games, and campus activism. We will examine how analyses by authors such as Fredric Jameson, Susan Willis, Alan Sinfield, Peter Stallabrass, Naomi Klein and the Brazilian cultural critic, Roberto Schwarz, show these dynamics at work in contemporary culture.

N.C. BRIEFS

Upon CLoser acQuamxance MEET YOUR STUDENT LEADERS

Graduate

and professional student governance is united into one umbrella council that must address not only science and humanities student issues, but medical, legal, business and theological student issues as well. The Graduate and Professional Student Council meets twice a month to discuss issues that affect all those groups of students and has looked at concerns such as graduate stipends, teacher assistantships and tuition increases.

Rob Saunders Graduate and Professional Student Council President

YEAR: 3RD HOMETOWN: AMELIA, VA. DEPARTMENT: PHYSICS UNDERGRAD CAREER: WILLIAM AND MARY

Saunders,

a graduate student working for his doctorate in medical physics, specifically in the field of resonance imaging, has been at Duke for three years and worked to more closely link the Graduate School and the School of Medi-

cine’s student governance and services. Saunders has indicated that he will make addressing parking issues a key GPSC concern this year, and he will also look at connecting students from across all schools, child care and off-campus housing.

BRIAN MORRAY/THE CHRONICLE

AUNDERS from page 3 “Rob’s greatest strength is his ability to listen to everyone’s viewpoints, take them all in, and then come up with a fair solution that not only solves the problem but also takes into account the main concerns of everyone involved,” wrote Raja in an e-mail. “He’s been doing this since he became GPSC president, and it’s especially evident in the way that he is solving the graduate student parking crunch around campus.” While he spent much of his summer addressing parking issues, Saunders

was also preparing for orientation week, during which he spoke at the orientation for each of the eight graduate and professional schools. He has been working on ways to start a five-year plan to address key graduate concerns, on which he campaigned.

“As GPSC president, I intend to bean external spokesperson,” Saunders said. “I will set a long-term scale to see these problems solved in the coming years. I have been trying to familiarize myself with the administration. After that, we plan to look at how to re-organize GPSC to make it more effective overall.” come

Duke declined to renew its license last November following complaints from New Era factory workers about unsafe conditions and discrimination at the company’s facil-

ity in Derby, N.Y. Following an 11-month strike, the company reached a tentative agreement with the workers’ union, the Communication Workers of America. The contract was ratified in late June. “We were waiting to see what happened with the ratification, but basically all of the signals we had seen were pretty clear that the company is working with the union,” Burness said. New Era is one of 409 companies with licenses to make Duke hats, T-shirts and other products. Last year, retail sales of New Era-manufactured Duke products totaled about $60,000.

Graduate students who have been issued permits through their school's lottery are now being issued their parking permits. Graduate schools have until August 29 to assign lottery winners. If a graduate student initially purchased a Duke University Road Lot permit, that permit will be cancelled and the student will be issued a new permit.

•

Commuting undergraduates who requested the Blue Zone are now being contacted regarding that assignment. We believe we can meet each of these requests.

Employees who were issued Duke University Road Lot permits will be upgraded to other lots from the waitlist as availability allows. Beginning Monday, September 2, all permit holders should park in their assigned lots. Gate access for new permits, as well as those expiring 8/31/02, will be changed by September 2. Employees who have personal permits with the imbedded magnetic stripe may use either the permit or their DukeCard for gate access. September 30: Space counts will be conducted in all University parking areas. Available spaces will be offered to employees and students who signed up online for an optional permit waitlist, in the order they entered the waitlist.

Enforcement for parking violations such as fire lanes and no parking areas is in effect. Warning citations for vehicles with no permit will begin on September 3. Citations for no permit/expired permit will begin on September 9. For more information visit Transportation Services online at parking.duke.edu or call 684-7275.

DOLE RALLY from page 1 another’student told her she was taking the place of a potential male student who deserved to be there because “he would actually use his degree.” Dole also listed her campaign’s top priorities, including greater benefits for military personnel, a conservative tax policy, a constitutional amendment allowing for a line-item veto and greater local control over education. She said the current pay and benefits for members of the armed forces are insufficient, calling for “no more food stamps [and] no more substandard housing” for soldiers. The issue is a central one in North Carolina, home to military bases such as Fort Bragg. Dole also said the education process in the United States needs to be reformed. She cited a recent survey that showed America ranks 16 out of 21 industrialized nations in terms of student proficiency in science, and 19 out of 21 in mathematics. She says the answer partly lies in greater

local—as opposed to federal—control over public schools and better benefits for teachers. “We need to restore our public schools to greatness,” she said. Not all students, however, were enthusiastic with the alumna’s return. A group of about 20 protesters gathered outside Page wielding anti-Dole signs. “We’re protesting because Dole doesn’t represent the views of the entire Durham community,” protester Jason McLaughlin said. “You can’t differentiate between Dole and [former senator Jesse] Helms on any of the issues; we don’t want another Jesse Helms.” Many students who attended the rally said they left feeling more enthusiastic about Dole, virtually certain to win the Republican primary Sept. 10, and who will likely face North Carolina state legislator Dan Blue or former Clinton chief of staff Brskine Bowles in

the Nov. 5 general election. Freshman Chris Morecroft said he enjoyed the rally. “Her presence, her compassion and the motorcycle kicked ass,” he said.

Concerns over security and glitches have prompted other Duke schools to proceed with caution on the issue. The School ofLaw has no plans to post admissions decisions online. “We would rather watch and see how it works with other places before we jump in with both feet,” said Dennis Shields, associate dean of the School of Law. “I’m not convinced that instantaneous knowledge is always appropriate.

Striking? Midnight deadline passes sans deal By RONALD BLUM Associated Press

NEW YORK— Baseball negotiators worked relentlessly Thursday to avert a strike just hours before the deadline, inching toward a possible deal as the nation awaited word on whether the season would continue. Lawyers for both sides, carrying proposals and umbrellas, shuttled between the commissioner’s office and union headquarters on a gray, rainy day, trying to reach agreement on a labor contract before Friday’s games. Progress was coming slowly, according to people who spoke to negotiators. “We’re just going to keep working,” said Bob DuPuy, baseball’s chief operating officer. “I’ve been prepared to stay for the night all week. “Of course there is an increase in sense of urgency. No one wants to lose a single game or a single day of games.” There was no set time for the start of a strike, which would be the sport’s ninth work stoppage since 1972. The first game affected would be St. Louis at Chicago, which is scheduled to begin at 3:20 p.m. EDT. 14 games are scheduled at night, but the union told players not to report if an agreement

isn’t reached. “We’re not going to send players to that stadium to take batting practice and open up the gates and all that stuff,” Tampa Bay player representative John Flaherty said. “We wouldn’t want to put anyone in that situa-

tion.” After five bargaining sessions Wednesday and three on Thursday, the sides remained apart on the key issues; levels for a luxury tax and revenue sharing. Other unresolved issues were the owners’ desire to fold two teams and

the expiration date of any new settlement. Both sides met early in the evening to work on the drug-testing agreement reached this week. The main talks resumed just before 9:30 p.m., when union head Donald Fehr and his top aides went to the commissioner’s office along with Atlanta’s Tom Glavine and B.J. Surhoff. Fehr and the players met with Selig for about 10 minutes before the larger session, then returned to the union office with the two Braves shortly before 11 p.m. for the executive board’s second conference call of the day. A pair of union lawyers remained at the commissioner’s office, and talks were ongoing as midnight approached. “It’s weird. Everybody’s wondering what’s going on. I think this is the only time that if you’re a patient person, you lose your patience,” said Cincinnati Reds pitcher Jose Rijo, who bought tickets to fly home to Miami on Friday despite a scheduled home game. The walkout threatens the final 31 days and 438 games of the regular season, and imperils the World Series canceled by a strike in 1994 for the first time in 90 years. If a strike drags into mid-September, the postseason would be in jeopardy. Many fans vented their frustration with signs at Thursday’s 10 games, perhaps the last ones of the season. In the upper deck at Cincinnati, one banner said, “There’s No Crying In Baseball.” “Both sides are being awfully greedy, considering what is happening economically in this country,” said Mary Anne Curran, a fan at the Pirates-Braves game in Pittsburgh. “I find it disgusting they can’t find a happy medium when they’re talking

Bulls still singing in the rain, wash out Braves 2-1 By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

Leftfielder Jason Tyner cut down the potential game-tying run at home plate, as the the Durham Bulls squeaked by the Richmond Braves 2-1 Thursday night. The Bulls (77-63) and Braves (73-65) managed to sneak a full nine innings of playoff-race baseball despite multiple rain-induced stoppages of play. After an opening 45-minute delay, Bulls starter Luis De Los Santos and Braves counterpart Doug Linton came out and pitched six scoreless innings apiece. In the top of seventh, a steady drizzle began to fall, and in the bottom of the inning, it soon began raining Durham long balls. Durham third baseman Russ Johnson, who singled in the fifth, took Linton’s first pitch ofthe half inning and sent it sailing into the right field bleachers. Catcher Paul Hoover then took Linton the other way, smacking a ground rule double offthe blue monster in left. Richmond right fielder Bo Porter tracked down Rocco Baldelli’s ensuing blast to the comer, but Hoover advanced to third. Linton, who just two innings before had struck out the side, was done. Raymond Beasley took the

tiH■

mound for the Braves, and Tyner, who doubled in the third, took him for a Texas Leaguer to left, which scored Hoover. Beasley then kept the Bulls’ hits confined to the infield, but the two runs had already been scored and charged to Linton. The players took the field for the eighth, but the drizzle which had been coming down throughout the inning intensified into a legitimate squall. The tarp was rolled out and the fans left, but the players remained in the locker room. The game resumed an hour later, whereupon Tyner’s game-saving throw enabled Durham to hang on to a one-run victory. Braves infielder A.J. Zapp boldly attempted to score from second on Porter’s single to left, but Tyner’s strong arm prevailed. Down three games to the Bulls in the International League Southern Division with the loss. But as the rain continued to fall, the Braves were left with just the thinnest hopes of making the playoffs. Richmond had its best chance at scoring in the fourth when Damon Hollins knocked a two-out double off the wall in center. Next, DH Tim Unroe battled back from 0-2 to draw a walk. The threat soon ended, however, as Richmond catcher Pee Wee Lopez grounded out to short to end the inning, stranding runners first and second.

The Chronicle Up in Smoke

This

summer has seen a ravaging of the western United States by a series of wildfires. Over 20 wildfires have burned about 4 million acres of forest in Oregon, California, Arizona and other states. The damage to the forests alone is double that of average years, and the fires have consumed or endangered hundreds of homes. Disasters of this scale require not only thousands of firefighters and other personnel, but also demand a long-term plan for preventing similar fires in the future. President George W. Bush recently put forth such a plan, proposing to trim back the underbrush and younger areas of forest, which provide much of the fuel for wildfires. A cohesive consensus has developed among scientists that controlled thinning is necessary to prevent larger fires and can actually improve the health offorests. However, Bush’s plan strays from reasonable thought on the environment. He suggests allowing logging companies to extend their operations into older trees and environmentally fragile forests in exchange for the companies footing the bill for thinning other areas. Although thinning forests will come at some cost, Bush’s use of logging as an incentive would dangerously undermine environmental protections, resulting in the loss of a national treasure. Ironically, Bush’s “Healthy Forests” plan favors the selfish interests of the logging industry over the actual health of forests. The loggers win, bypassing over a decade of environmental protections and the forests lose shelter for wildlife, the ability to prevent erosion and a host of other features that benefit human quality of life, both practically and aesthetically. Allowing for the logging of older forests would offset some of the costs of thinning forests, but in this case Bush should not sacrifice the sanctity of forested lands in order to subsidize the logging industry. Considering Bush’s record on the environment, however, the public ought not be surprised. The president’s record is fraught with actions that favor economic progress and business over environmental protections. His environmental plans also too often contradict the sound advice of environmentalists. Such disdain for demonstrated knowledge and environmental science shows Bush’s penchant for favoring special interests over good policy when it comes to the environment The government should proceed with its plan to trim the underbrush and younger areas of forest in order to prevent future fires, but should work to protect older growth trees that are a vital national resource. Working with sound science, the Bush administration should be able to protect our homes from fires and prevent the unnecessary clearing of older trees without destroying the environment. But his current proposal is too favorable toward the timber industry and too destructive of older trees to be viable. The administration should reconsider its forest policy.

the editor

U.S. refuses to join ICC out of fear for the truth fact saviors of the world’s downtroddenbut too often the ones doing the trodding?

Former Nuremberg prose-

cutor Benjamin Ferencz said to those at the Nuremberg trials that, “You have it in your power to make the dream of a more human world order under law come true.” The International Criminal Court created in 1998 and so far ratified by 73 nations, is the newest attempt to establish a

court to prosecute those who

commit crimes against humanity. The staff editorial on Aug. 28 fails to point out that only seven nations opposed the original treaty creating the court, including Iraq, China, Israel and the United States. True to our original stubborn position, we have yet to ratify this treaty. What are we so afraid of? Could it be that we are not in http:l /www.chronicle.duke.edu

The idea that the ICC

threatens sovereignty is completely ludicrous. The Nuremberg tribunal rejected the concept that state sovereignty could provide impunity in cases of crimes against humanity. The Rome Statute of the ICC has strong safeguards against politicallymotivated prosecutions. An independent prosecutor is elected by the state parties and will need authorization from a panel of judges before starting an investigation. The Security Council has the authority to postpone or cancel any investigation. Only those countries threatened by the idea of prosecuting /

crimes against humanity are against the ICC. There is currently no permanent means to bring individuals to justice for crimes against humanity. It is simply too difficult to set up trials on an ad-hoc basis and

reinvent the wheel each time

atrocities occur. The ICC will probably not threaten a power structure that allows the United States to ensure the downtrodden remain in their place.

However, the fact that the

United States is so vehemently opposed to the ICC reveals that we are afraid of the truth it might reveal about what kind of saviors we are. Bridget

American hegemony does not justify its ICC decision The editorial in The Chronicle on Wednesday (“Say nay to the ICC”) deeply saddened me. By supporting the

current refusal of the United the join States’ to International Criminal Court, The Chronicle has overlooked

several points. At a time when the United States—and the West in general—needs to improve its image, The Chronicle’s polemic over the ICC’s jurisdiction is inappropriate. Implying that the United States is the only country that defends values such as tolerance, justice and freedom is also quite pretentious. The United States today stands as the world hegemon—a great role which encompasses a rough, yet historical mission http:

/ /

to take care of the world. This mission is one that the United States should not take on all by itself, and it is true that, so far, America’s allies have not always given enough support to the United States. Nevertheless, American supremacy should not justify blind and stubborn unilateralism. It is also true that without American participa-

tion, the ICC could lose its legitimacy and its power, Beyond creating a mere diplomatic crisis, the absence of the United States from the birth ofthe ICC will discredit the very notion of international justice and may lead to a global authority vacuum. An exception for America from the court’s prosecution might provide a

symbolic to precedent nations, groups or persons wanting to escape the rule of justice, which the United States actually supports. It is true that the court should not be used as a political weapon against the United States. But Europe’s role will probably be to assure the ICC does not put the United States or anybody else on trial unfairly. In fact, it is essential that the first power on the planet leads by example and recognizes the ICC’s jurisdiction. For if every nation effectively has the right to remain sovereign, it is also true that no nation is above the law, not even America.

Lies the media tells Ronald Reagan made the poor poorer. There are two things wrong with this statement. First, it is blatantly false, and second, it is widely believed to be true. Why? As Bernard Goldberg illustrates in his bestselling book Bias, the main culI prit in the dissemination of so many of the outright falsehoods we hold as truths is the biased mainstream media. Before you write me off, understand Nathan that my position differs from those of Carleton many conservatives who allege media bias. Like Goldberg,Ido not hold that a GettingDown conspiracy exists.

The elusive win may be harder to come by this year. Not only are the Blue Devils faced with a tougher ACC than in years past, but they also have a difficult nonconference slate. After facing East Carolina Saturday, Duke plays preseason top-20 squad Louisville before traveling to Evanston, HI., to take on Northwestern, In the ACC, No. 5 FSU will be tougher after an off year, and last year’s champion, Maryland, as well N.C. State, UNC, Georgia Tech and Clemson, all have legitimate postseason shots. However, the Blue Devils’ best chance for a win is probably against Navy. Just like Duke, the Midshipmen are coming off a winless season, and the Sept. 28 matchup could make or

With a23 game losing streak and a 12-game schedule this season, failure to do so would result in Duke breaking the NCAA all-time loss record, currently 34, held by the Northwestern Wildcats that played from 1979-82. Per tradition, Duke faces arch rival North Carolina in its final game of the season. Should the Blue Devils drop their first 11 games, no one will enjoy handing Duke its hat—and the record—more than the Tar Heels in the 12th. ‘Winning that first game will feel great—we’ll walk around campus with our heads a little higher—but you can’t lose perspective that that’s not good enough,” said linebacker Jaymon Small, the team’s lone senior. “I’d love to celebrate eight victories, or a lot more than back

Last year Duke averaged almost three turnovers a game, and this season they will be challenged to improve on that number while also dealing with the common mistakes of whichever new quarterback—either of sophomores Chris Dapolito and Adam Smith—head coach Carl Franks chooses. Adding to their inexperience, the Blue Devils will also have to deal without the services tight end Nick Brzezinski, who tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee and will be out for the season.

allowing last spring’s intrasquad scrimmage, it apired as if the Duke football team’s most secure and )endable position would be at quarterback. Senior a Bryant was preparing for his third year as the Blue Devils’ starting playcaller, and should Bryant miss time with injury, Duke’s stable of young talent looked quite able to fill in for a few games until Bryant could return. Appearances, of course, can be deceiving. Bryant, having failed to live up to his academic responsibilities, has now been forced to leave the program, taking with him the leadership and experience that had been counted on to lead Duke to a iroductive season. Enter Adam Smith and Chris Dapolito Finding themselves in a suddenly wide open race at quarterback alongside fellow sophomore Chris Wispelway—who received DWI in the summer —Dapolito and Smith lickly distinguished themselves in the eyes ad coach Carl Franks, and have since comgainst one another for the role as starter, very pleased with the way the competition ne,” head coach Carl Franks said. “I was very d with the way they helped each other, very d with how they got along with each other.” npetitioh is certainly the operative word describing the Blue Devils’ quarterback posiWords such as “battle” or “controversy” are mentioned, neither by players nor coaches, fre trying to push each other but we’re each to do the best that we each possibly can,” said. “We’re setting goals for ourselves, we’re sing goals ofeach other.” >ol ito concurred, adding that he’s most excitiply return to competition after sitting out iecause of his 2001 transfer from Rutgers, rterback shuffling has come under inscrutiny in recent years as more and more 3 are forced to innovate when it comes to

the position, either because a starter has gone down to injury, or because a team boasts a rich depth of quarterbacking talent. Notorious offensive mastermind Steve Spurrier, current Washington Redskins head coach, rotated quarterbacks during his three-year tenure at Duke in the late 1980s with

much success. Other coaches loathe an unstable quarterback system. Last year’s Texas Longhorns, a preseason national title contender, stuck with talented but inexperienced Chris Simms over accomplished leader Major Applewhite, with rather negative results. Most Blue Devils, while aware of the many quarterback controversies around the country, simply don’t care how or when the two quarterbacks rotate. The team’s attitude is to equate the quarterback position with any other offensive role. “It doesn’t matter,” starting fullback Alex Wade said. “It will be the same as me and Chris [Douglas] rotating at running back.” Indeed, when pressed to compare and contrast the two quarterback candidates, offensive lineman, running backs, and even coaches mostly just shrug their shoulders. The consensus is that the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Dapolito is the better athlete, boasting better mobility and arm strength then the 6-5, 205 Smith. Smith is considered to be more familiar with Duke’s offensive system, having been Bryant’s backup last season while Dapolito sat out the year after transferring. Their actual skills not being much in question, both players realized early in summer drills that, in essence, their competition mostly boils down to only one factor: Who can be the better leader. “There is a leadership quality to playing quarterback in how you call the play and how you communicate in the huddle,” said Franks, the man making the ultimate decision on who will line up under center. “Now that [Bryant] is not here, the mindset changes. Now, those guys have to go play and workout with their teammates with a little different* mindset. They knew one of them needed to step up and be a leader.”

Who to watch in the ACC Although many great ACC players return, Florida State quarterback Chris Rix tops the list By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle Despite Florida State’s subpar performance last year, quarterback Chris Rix made an impact on the college football scene. Rix became the first redshirt freshman to start for head coach Bobby Bowden in 26 years and was named ACC freshman of the year. On the down side, he received much of the blame for FSU’s abysmal year, its first without an ACC football crown since joining the conference in 1991. The Santa Margarita, Calif., native was criticized by his teammates as being cocky at times, but he showed a demeanor dissimilar to most fresh-

man quarterbacks. With the Seminoles standing on a 42 record, Rix delivered against ACC champion Maryland in the second half during FSU’s 52-31 romp over the Terrapins. After that game he solidified his place as a starter and carried his confidence into this year. Bowden said he was impressed with his quarterback’s control on and off the field during year’s rough season.

“Playing at Florida State, you’re going to get a lot of the glory, and when things go bad, most of it’s going to fall on you,” Rix said. “This year I think a lot of the pressure is going to be taken off me because of the talent I have around me. We had the talent last year, we just didn’t have the experience.” With another year of maturity, Rix is sure to lead FSU to higher plateaus than last season’s team.

Billy McMullen, WR, Virginia

The Virginia Cavaliers’ main problem on offense last year was picking a dependable quarterback. They toyed with Matt Schaub and Bryson Spinner throughout the season. Now it looks as though Schaub should be taking most of the snaps this season, which will work to the advantage of star wide receiver Billy McMullen. Catching 83 balls for a Cavalier team that went 5-7 was not the most pleasing experience for the senior. After working out with Schaub four times a week this past summer he expects a vast improvement during his last collegiate season. “Last year just didn’t feel right,” the star wide out said. “But this team has come together and I feel good about our chances. We’re going to win some games.” After catching 12 touchdowns with a shaky quarterback situation, McMullen is in a position to shock the world when Virginia hits the gridiron this fall. Cavalier head coach A1 Groh has no doubt where the ball will be thrown when his team needs a key play. “I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the country,” Groh said.

Philip Rivers, QB, N.C. State

Philip Rivers took the ACC by storm his freshman year, throwing for 25 touchdowns and over 3,000 yards. In his sophomore campaign during 2001 his numbers weren’t nearly as high, but his efficiency as a quarterback grew.

FLORIDA STATE’S CHRIS RIX is considered by many to be the ACC’s best player. Rivers has been the focal point of the ing season which lists throwing zero team’s success the past two seasons, interceptions as a feasible task. If with last year ending in a bowl game Rivers wants to take on that sort of challenge, the sky is the limit for him loss to Pittsburgh. The majority of his receivers are and his team, returning this year, which should bode “Philip has got to get better,” said well for the Wolfpack.

o rig t) N.C. STATE S PHILIP RIVERS, VIRGINIA’S BILLY McMULLEN AND MARYLAND’S BRUCE PERRY are expected to have big season’s for their respective teams

N.C. State head coach Chuck Amato. “Being the same makes him go backwards. You get better or you get worse, you never stay the same.... That thing between his ears puts him ahead of people because he’s so intelligent about the game and what he has to do His impact for the Wolfpack has been enormous the past two seasons, and his opponents have been taking notice. This year, look for defenses to force Rivers out of the pocket and test his running ability, a facet of his game in which he gained only 84 yards with last season. ”

E.J. Henderson, LB, Maryland

The Maryland Terrapins had a miraculous season in 2001, winning the ACC regular season championship and earning a spot in the prestigious Orange Bowl. Much of their success can be attributed to their defense, led by then-junior E.J. Henderson. To say the least, Henderson was a monster of a linebacker last season. He tallied 150 tackles, including six sacks and an interception. Hailing from Aberdeen, Md., he anchors a defense which had 24 picks during last year’s regular season. Even though the Terps dominated the ACC season, there are still critics still wondering if their 102 record was a fluke. Henderson is looking forward to proving them wrong. “It’s hard to change somebody’s mind in just a year,” Henderson said. “Maybe after this year and in a couple of years we’ll have the respect we used

to have.”

Terrence Holt, FS, N.C. State

Another defensive nightmare that lurked in the backfield last season was N.C. State free safety

Terrence Holt. During last season’s breakout performance by the Wolfpack he tallied 104 tackles, and that was not even his most phenomenal statistic. Holt made headlines blocking four punts in 2001, with two of them coming against the No. 17 Texas. He describes his mentality during a punt situation as simply “instinct.” If Holt’s gift for breaking open a galhe with a single play continues into this season, the Wolfpack will certainly vie for the ACC championship. Holt hopes opposing players will focus more on the Wolfpack offense, lead by fellow teammate Philip Rivers, in order for his defense to make pivotal stops.

Bruce Perry, RB, Maryland Bruce Perry had high expectations this season after helping Maryland make an amazing run to the Orange Bowl last year. Unfortunately for he and the Terrapins, Perry will have to wait four to eight weeks, according to doctors, before he can do any damage on the field. Last year’s ACC Offensive Player of the Year injured his groin in a pre-scrimmage drill last Tuesday. Despite this unlucky turn of events, there is no doubt Perry will come back and make an impact on his team and the league. As a tailback, he averaged 156.2 all-purpose yards per game a year ago. The downside to Perry’s early injury can be seen by looking at the Terrapins early schedule. Two of the first four games are against Notre Dame and Florida State. Unless the rest of his injury-clad team can survive the early going, Perry’s return could be too late.

The Wolfpack enter this season as the favorite for the runner-up slot in the ACC, and after demolishing New Mexico State, they are currently ranked No. 25 in the country. In order for N.C. State to maintain that ranking and challenge for the conference crown or even a BCS bid, the ’Pack will need an amazing season from quarterback Philip Rivers, and a little bit of luck.

New coach Chan Gailey has his work cut out for him bringing Georgia Tech back to the national spotlight. For the first time in a few years, the Yellow Jackets were not picked in the top-three of the ACC, nor earned much consideration for a preseason ranking. However they return eight of their top 10 tacklers from last season as well as kicker Luke Magnet.

All of Terrapin country—fans and players alike—has been doing their best Aretha Franklin impression in the offseason, calling for a little bit of respect when it comes to the pigskin. After winning the ACC last season, Maryland has been given little to no consideration when it comes to taking this year’s crown. They might have an argument if they had not been riddled with injuries.

At this rate Al Groh should have stayed in the NFL because many think the only team worse than his Cavaliers in the ACC are the bottom-feeding Blue Devils. However, Billy McMullen the leagues’ best wide out returns, and instead of dealing with two quarterback's he will only have catch passes from Matt Schaub this coming season, a change that should help tremendously.

Few teams lost more offensive firepower in the offseason than the Tigers, and as a result head coach Tommy Bowden will have to deal with one of the most inexperienced teams he has coached. Bowden should have the hardest time replacing Heisman candidate quarterback Woodrow Danztler, but after watching QB Willie Simmons in the preseason, he looks ready to fill Danztler’s shoes.

After a dismal beginning last season, the Tar Heels bounced back to finish 8-5. This year they return star wide out Sam Aiken and quarterback Darian Durant—who split time last season with Ronald Curry —but the loss of defensive monster Julius Peppers could cripple the Tar Heels on the other side of the ball.

The perrenial ACC favorites, Florida State was once again picked by the Associate Press to win the league—and contend for the national title—despite an off-year last season. For this to happen, quarterback Chris Rix seriously lowered his nearly twoturnover a game average last season. Given head coach Bobby Bowden’s track record, it should happen.

sting teams in Division I, due to their perpetual mediocrity, the Demon Deacons are always on the verge of a break out bowl bid, but almost always fall short. To get to the next level, the Deacons need to be practically perfect out of conference and at least pull off one major in-conference upset, something that will be hard in a tougher ACC.

Seminoles ready to regain ACC crown, Terps in way By ROBERT SAMUEL

Rix said. “Last year...was the year the get us. We’re not focused on last season, it’s in the back of our minds.” There is much more talent around Rix this season, with perhaps the nation’s best offensive line protecting him, led by 6-foot-6, 310 pound AllAmerican Bret Williams. Catching Rix’s passes are improved wide-outs Robert Morgan and Anquan Boldin. Receivers’ hands were just as big of a problem as Rix’s arm during last season’s, but Florida State does not expect that to be an issue again. “What we’ve got to do is go out and see what kind of progress we can make in one year,” Seminole head coach Bobby Bowden said. “But whatever it is, I think it’s going to be tougher. The conference is definitely tougher.” The other main contender for the ACC crown, Maryland, has a lot to prove this season. The team wants to be considered one ofthe top programs in the country, and it realizes that it must win every year. “It’s hard to change somebody’s mind in just a year,” said Terrapin linebacker E.J. Henderson. “Maybe after this year and in a couple of years we’ll have the respect

The Chronicle

Coming off a season in which Florida State had its worst season in ten years and Maryland won its first ACC championship in sixteen years, normalcy should be set to return to the conference for 2002. The Seminoles, a team with 15 new starters in 2001, have 17 returning starters this season, and have

improved greatly on last year’s glaring deficiency, pass

rushing. Traditionally Florida State has had one of the best pass rushes in the nation, but last season the team compiled only 14 sacks. All-ACC junior defensive tackle Darnell Dockett is set to revamp the Seminoles’ defensive attack. “I think Dockett is a guy that can provide them with a tremendous pass rusher, and I think that was something they were lacking last year,” Duke head coach Carl Franks said. “They didn’t have a dominant pass rusher like they’ve had in the past.” Despite facing constant double teams, Dockett set a Seminole record last season with 22 tackles for a loss. In addition to Dockett, junior linebacker Michael Boulware and senior defensive end Alonzo Jackson, who had five sacks last season and dominated the spring game with an additional three sacks, will add firepower to the defensive line. Also struggling last season, the offense looks to improve under the leadership of sophomore quarterback Chris Rix. As a redshirt freshman, he started off slowly, only winning only three of his first five games. Rix was heavily criticized at this time, and many Florida State fans wondered if he even belonged on the team. But Rix improved every game, ending the season as ACC freshman of the year while throwing for 2,734 yards and 24 touchdowns. However, he also had five fumbles and 13 interceptions. To improve on those poor marks, Rix spent the month of May with quarterback specialist Steve Clarkson, and he now has a more over-the-top release that he hopes will be more accurate.

we used to have.” Since head coach Ralph Friedgen turned down NFL offers last spring, the Terrapins have had nothing but bad luck. The tremors began in the spring with an ACL tear in the knee of sophomore quarterback Chris Kelley. He is expected to return by mid-season, but until then Maryland will be led by the inexperienced duo of Scott Mcßrien and Orlando Evans. Both transfers, Mcßrien started one career game at West Virginia, while Evans threw for 2,391 yards and 28 touchdowns at the City College of San Francisco last season.

Duke will not focus on streak

ACC Football Preview

FRIDAY. AOGPST 30. 2002 � PACE II

As the Blue Devils close in on the longest losing streak in Division I-A history, they refuse think about the past, instead preferring to look only at the upcoming season. By EVAN DAVIS The Chronicle

Reserve comerback Brian Greene was not on the field for a single snap last season. Nevertheless, he has gone into practice every day this fall with a giant bullseye printed on his back. 23: It’s a jersey number to Greene, but to the rest of the Blue Devils—indeed the rest of the nation—it’s the number of games that Duke has lost since it’s 48-35 win over Wake Forest November 13,1999. Faced with a 12-game schedule this season, the Blue Devils realize that they must secure a victory to keep themselves out of the record books—the mark for the longest losing streak in Division I-A history currently stands at 34 games. While the shadow of history looms large, head coach Carl Franks insists that no further mention of it is needed to make his troops aware of each game’s significance this season. “I certainly hope [breaking the losing streak] is a strong motivator,” Franks said “I think it is for our team. But it’s not something that I have to talk about every day. It’s very clearly in everybody’s mind, and if you forget about it, all you have to do is read a story about us.” Though ACC football fans have been well aware that Duke has yet to win a game this millennium, this summer gave fans across the nation the chance to catch up. But while the national media’s focus on Duke’s storyline has certainly been frustrating, linebacker Jamyon Small, the team’s only senior, knows that the Blue Devils’ only means of responding to the criticism occurs between the white lines. “The streakis real,” Small said. “We can’t control what the media does or what they say about the streak. The only thing we can control is how we play on the field.” That realization nags at Small, for he feels that last year’s team was not as bad as its 0-11 record would indicate. He knows that if he and his teammates put forth 60 minutes of their best effort in every game this season, respect will not be far away. “I feel like if we play solid football for four quarters— I’m not talking about a half, I’m not talking about three quarters—l’m talking about four quarters for 12 ball games this season, then we won’t have to worry about any kind ofmoral victories or an 0-12 [record! because it will take care of itself,” Small said. Breaking the streak is certainly an objective for Duke, but their goals do not stop there. While a specific win-loss goal is difficult for the Blue Devils to pin down, Small insists that Duke’s aims this season do not all point to simply going 1-11. “Of course everybody wants to go to bowl games, and we’re no different,” he said. “We want to go to a bowl game, we want to protect our home field, we want to play well against our in-state rivals. Those are some of our main g0a15.... Who’s to say what a winning season is for us? Is it 8-3? That’s a winning season for someone else, but for us, if we have five wins that could still be an amazing season.” While the players’ goals may be hard to articulate, one of Franks’ is quite clear: Remaining as the team’s head coach for the 2003 season. Small insists, however, that while the Blue Devils hope to ensure their coach’s job security, it is a topic which remains largely undiscussed among the players “We’re all loyal here to Coach Franks, but we have to go out and just play to the best of our ability. We’re not going out just to play for our coach’s job—we have many factors that we play for.” In the end, however, the 2002 Duke football season will inevitably be remembered as one in which the Blue Devils either set or narrowly avoided breaking the record for the longest losing streak in the history of Division I-A football. While the media is quick to publicize the likelihood of the former, Small is hopeful that ,the negative attention that the Blue Devils are receiving will only make their victories all the more rewarding. ‘We could go out there this season and surprise a lot of people, and that’s one of the most motivating factors we have,” Small said.

question,” said linebackers and special teams coach Denny Creechen. “He’s had no problem adjusting [to the middle linebacker position] whatsoever. In fact, he looks better than he ever has.” Although never obtaining team success, Fowler has been a standout since his freshman year in 2000. Starting the final seven games of that season, he led Duke and finished second in the ACC among freshmen in tackles with 87. Fowler became just the second freshman to ever lead the team in tackles, joining Erwin Sampson, who accomplished the feat in 1988. These statistical accomplishments led to the honor of being named as a Sporting News third-team Freshman All-American. After his remarkable 2000 campaign, he seemed poised to be showered with accolades and attention his sophomore year. Fowler played brilliantly his sophomore year, nabbing a team-leading 127 tackles, the only Blue Devil to lead his team in tackles in his first two years. He was named ACC defensive player of the week after making 17 stops and compiling an interception against Georgia Tech. But that was the only honor he received. “To tell you the truth, I was little disappointed that I wasn’t as recognized as I thought I’d be,” he said. “I realized that was selfish of me, so after that I decided that’s not as important to me.” Duke’s inability to win a single game was undoubtedly a big reason why Fowler went largely unheralded during his sophomore season. Fowler is not bittered by this fact, and hopes that Duke will follow the same path as his high school team. Fowler’s Seminole High School in Redington Shores, Fla., went 2-8 his freshman year before going 8-2 his senior season and reaching the state playoffs for the first time in 27 years. “This is my third year saying this,” Fowler said. “I honestly believe we’ll do the same thing my high school did, and that’s turn it around.” Fowler’s coaches feel if the team plays better this season, Fowler will get more attention. “We don’t ever set a personal goal that supercedes team goals,” head coach Carl Franks said. “If we can come close to meeting our team goals, then he’ll have a great chance for personal accolades for the year.” Directly in line with his coach, Fowler feels that productive play is contagious, and he wants to infect his teammates with the same aggression that drives him to success. “A lot of times guys play to the level of the people around them,” Fowler said. “I know that I have. That goes along with attitude also. When guys are more aggressive, guys are more positive. Guys see people playing better, and they want to play better, and they see how to play better.” Fowler, team goal in sight, will certainly not eschew any special recognition. “I would absolutely love it,” Fowler said. “I feel confident in my ability to be recognized nationally.” Yet given all ofthe success that he has already experienced, along with the presumed accolades to come, Fowler has not let it get to his head, remaining very personable “He’s a great player, he’s a great kid, and he’s great to coach,” Creechen said.
