1-0 football seeks respect By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

Was it a fluke? The football team (1-0) will get its first chance to answer the question everyone has been when asking they face Louisville Saturday at 7 p.m. in

Wallace Wade Stadium. “This is a big game for us—bigger than ECU” junior running back Alex Wade said. “If we win this one, it’ll really make us legitimate.”

The two teams could not have had different opening games. Louisville went into its first game Sunday against Kentucky with last season’s Confer-

ence USA coach of the year, John Smith, last season’s Conference USA offensive player of the year, quarterback Dave Ragone, last season’s Conference USA defensive player of the year, defensive end Dewayne White, the nation’s No. 18 ranking and homefield advantage. But all that firepower was not enough to beat the Wildcats, a team that won only two games a season ago. On the other hand, Duke came into its game against

East Carolina with the nation’s longest losing streak before shocking nearly all pigskin forecasters with a 23-16 victory.

Although normalcy is expected to return to the two teams this week, there are several factors that should make the game interesting. Last week Louisville’s offensive line provided little support for Ragone, who is considered a Heisman candidate this season. Ragone was sacked three times in the game and was hurried nearly every down in the Cardinals’ 22-17 loss. Without last year’s best two receivers, Ragone played one of the worst games of his career, throwing 14-for-39 with 193 See FOOTBALL on page 16

Students, others renew football fandom, at least for now By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

YOAVLURIE/THI

THE STUDENT SECTION from last Saturday’s football game was more intense than ithad been in years, and excitement is cautiously growing around campus,

Since 2000, the University’s plea for undergraduates to move their cars out of the Blue Zone parking lot before a home football game has been met with disgruntled curses and sarcastic mockery. Tonight, almost a week after Duke’s first victory in 23 tries, the request might not seem like that crazy of an idea. Student support for the team has been climbing since the Blue Devils jumped out to a 10-0 advantage last Saturday night. As a downp lour

raged and whispers of an early lead spread around campus, the few hundred in attendance at gametime swelled to over 1,000 before students rushed the field to tear down the goal posts. About the same number, possibly more, are expected for Saturday’s home game at 7 p.m. against the University of Louisville, athletics officials said. “It was wonderful that as the game progressed, more and more students came out, even in the rain,” said Director ofAthletics Joe Alieva.

Bowles leads Dems’ Senate bid I Student reportedly By APARNA KRISHNASWAMY The Chronicle

With the primary onlyfour days away, Democratic contenders for the U.S. Senate are campaigning hard all over North Carolina, making their faces known and voices heard. The need to fill current Republican Sen. Jesse Helms’ seat has left Democrats in a very competitive race for the primary. Improving education and the economy have emerged as the main issues in the race for the Democratic nomination, and although a frontrunner has not emerged as clearly as Elizabeth Dole has in the Republican primary, several tiers have surfaced. Analysts place Erskine Bowles, a one-time aide to former president Bill Clinton, as the frontrunner in the primary, largely because of his experience in national government and financial resources. Former N.C. House speaker Dan Blue and current N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall are predicted to make up a second tier at the polls, along with Cynthia Brown, a former member of the Durham City Council. “As White House chief of staff, See DEMOCRATS on page 8 iil&fiUC

raped off campus � Police are investigating the case as possibly part of a series of attacks in western Durham. It follows a reported on-campus rape last Sunday that police believe is unrelated. From staff reports A Duke student was reportedly raped early Thursday at her residence on Wilkerson Avenue after a man armed with a gun broke into her home around 6:30 a.m. Durham police described the suspect as a black man with a medium build wearing blue jeans and a shirt. Investigators believe the man may be responsible for other sexual assaults in the western Durham area in recent months. Investigators have noticed similarities in several cases, but at this point are not releasing the nature of those similarities to preserve the integrity of the investigations. The report did not identify the woman, but Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department said she is a Duke student. Wilkerson Avenue is less than half a mile south of East Campus, where all undergraduate freshmen live. The incident comes just four days after an alleged rape of an 18-year-old visitor by a 21-year-old Duke student in a West Campus dormitory. The case is still under investigation, but Dean said a full report could be released today. Sunday’s alleged assaulter was identified, although police would not release his name. Safe Haven and its East and West Campus locations are seeking volunteers before they re-open as secure places for students on weekend nights. See page 4

The N.C. House rejected a plan to limit future legislative sessions, which recently have been characterized by delays in budget legislation and other bills. See page 6

Karzai survives attempted murder Security officials blame attacks on remnants of Taliban and al Qaeda network By INDIRA LAKSHMANAN The Boston Globe

Afghan KABUL, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai survived an assassination attempt Thursday in the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar. Witnesses and government officials said that three people were killed and a regional governor was injured. The shooting occurred shortly after the deadliest bombing in the capital in years killed as many as three dozen bystanders and injured scores more, according to Kabul security officials. The two attacks were the worst in a series of unexplained explosions, rocket attacks, and bomb threats that have shaken the peace in Kabul and nearby Afghan provinces over the last

several weeks.

Congress plans to deliberate on Hussein By ADAM NAGOURNEY

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The prospect of weeks of debate in Congress about granting President George W. Bush the authority to oust Saddam Hussein means that events abroad, rather than the domestic issues pushed by Democrats this summer, could dominate the nation’s political discussion for half of this fall’s general election campaign. Several Republicans said Thursday that the focus on Iraq would serve the political needs of their party going into the close congressional elections. Democrats, in recent days, in a clear sign of concern, have begun to speak out on the merits of an invasion, though some worried that they were playing into Republican hands by doing so. While setting the agenda in a political debate is typically the first step toward victory, leaders from both parties

said they had seen no evidence that voters are ready for war in Iraq, or that any member of Congress would be hurt by opposing Bush on this. While Republicans may have gained a tactical advantage by moving the nation’s attention beyond its borders, even Republicans said they had seen no evidence that a debate over military intervention would affect the outcome of

this congressional contest. Thus, the critical question now may not be the outcome ofthe debate about Iraq, but rather how long it lasts—and when, or if, the Democrats can turn it back to the home turf. “The public has not been convinced,” said Rep. John Shimkus, R-111., recounting conversations he had with constituents before Congress returned from its summer See CONGRESS on page 7

Study: emotion, attention linked Individuals who suffer from depression and other emotional disorders also have difficulty focusing on ordinary tasks, according to a study using magnetic resonance imaging.. By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

things of that nature.” Based on her observations, Wasiolek said she thought most party monitors abided by the re-

Recent research at the Medical Center finally offers a physiological explanation of how intense emotion interferes with concentration. Using magnetic resonance imaging to map areas of activity in the brains of human subjects, researchers determined that emotional and routine functions of attention are processed through the brain in two parallel streams, each in a constant fight for the brain’s resources. “There exists a tug-of-war in the frontal lobes between attentional and emotional activity,” said Dr. Kevin Laßar, assistant professor at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and author of a new study on the correlation. “Since the brain has a limited amount of processing resources, you are easily distracted by emotional events.... The brain seems to switch between attention and emotion.” The results, published in the Aug. 20 issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may lead to new treatments for a variety of neurological disorders like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and attention deficit disorder—diseases that have been linked to malfunctions in the processing of emotional stimuli. “Depressed people have sad thoughts, intrusive thoughts that get them off task,” Laßar said. “The idea is maybe we can help them not be so distracted.” After placing subjects inside an MRI machine and giving them video goggles for the tests, scientists showed the subjects a series of circles and squares and asked them to keep a running count of the circles; this was intended to model normal attentional activity. Interspersed with the circles and squares was a series of complex scenes that were either neutral or emotionally sensitive. The emotional material was found to affect concentration more than mere distraction. “When distracting stimuli was on, the attentional

TRAINED STUDENT PARTY MONITORS return from a training session this week in which administrators discussed alcohol and safety policies. About 200 students have attended such sessions this year, the second year of the program’s existence.

Party monitors return for 2nd year By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Tennis ball green has replaced basketball orange, but the work of party monitors—and their Tshirts—continues a year after the role was created. Party monitors—all of whom are students—are charged with ensuring the safety of on-campus parties and attendees. Monitors must first attend a two-hour training session, which administrators estimate 200 students have done so far this year. Overall, both students and administrators said they considered party monitors moderately effective last year. “There is certainly room for improvement, but I wouldn’t give it lower than a ‘B’ because [party

monitors] have done above average,” said Dean of Students and

Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek, who created the program and has at-

tended many on-campus parties in the last year. Wasiolek said campus climate and safety have improved since the advent of party monitors, but that more party monitors would help. There must be one party monitor for every 25 attendees, but Wasiolek said selective groups may be underestimating the number of

party guests. Assistant Dean of Students Stephen Bryan said the simple awareness party monitors gain from mandatory training sessions—four of which were held this week—and then their

mandatory presence at parties created improvements in themselves. The sessions include presentations about alcohol consumption, sexual assault and related University policies. “The most visible change is just that: a greater visibility,” Bryan said. “It reminds students there is someone,there to control the party and to check their own behavior. Even if a [trained party monitor] is not a party monitor on a particular night, he is still an extra set of eyes that has been exposed to the alcohol policy, sexual assault and

Author of controversial reading speaks at UNG Approaching the Qur’an drew national attention when officials assigned it to all freshmen By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

Michael Sells, author of Approaching the Qur’an: TheJZarly Revelations, spoke at the University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill Thursday night, addressing the nationwide controversy sparked by the assignment of his book as required reading for the university’s freshmen. Sells, a Haverford College professor of religion, voiced support for the university’s decision to study a religious text in the classroom and addressed issues related to Islam. The university required its incoming freshmen either to read the book—which is meant as a partial translation and analysis of the Qur’an for readers with little or no knowledge of Islam—or to write an essay explaining why studying the text would violate their personal religious beliefs. Sells argued that the assignment of

his book did not violate the constitution-

al separation of church and state. He said there is a significant difference between studying a religion and prosely-

tizing one, and that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized this difference. “There have been readings from the Bible in many required courses, particularly in law schools, for generations,” Sells told a receptive crowd at Hill Hall Auditorium. He said he felt fortunate to live in a nation where such academic freedom is allowed, as opposed to nations such as Pakistan and Bosnia, where controversial ideas are often suppressed. Sells has visited Bosnia and in 1993 co-founded the Community for Bosnia, an organization that works toward the creation of a tolerant and multi-religious spciety in the war-torn nation. “Fortunately, our society has protections [on academic freedoml now,” he said. “But my experience in Bosnia is that these protections can break down.” Sells said his goal as a teacher is to give students an understanding of why Islam is so important to millions of people. He said the Qur’an is especially difficult to translate since it is often expressed orally, as opposed to read

silently, in the classical Islamic world. Word meanings can be changed by the way in which they are spoken, thus rendering any English translation at least slightly incoherent. However, he said many have misunderstood his work. He cited conservative author William Buckley, who claimed Sells’ work portrayed Islam as a more peaceful religion than it really is. Buckley had never read the book, however, and cited his source as Time Magazine. Sells likened such commentary to the game of “telephone,” in which words are whispered from ear to ear until they are changed completely, causing misunderstanding. “This game has been carried away in this controversy,” he said. “I call it ‘megaphone.’” Sells said he does not consider Islam to be a “religion of peace,” as some have charged. He argues that all religions are far too complex for such a simple label. Sells’ points resonated with the audience. Steve Piantadosi, a freshman at UNC who said he read the required as-

signment, said he did not observe any major controversy over the assignment ofthe book in his class. “I pretty much agreed with him,” he said. “No one in my class was really upset about it.” Duke senior Stephanie Kien, who attended the speech, supported UNO’s decision but understood how some people could be confused by the assignment. “I think it’s hard for people to separate understanding religions and being religious,” she said. Though a lawsuit generated by the reading requirement has been dismissed, the North Carolina state legislature has threatened to cut funding for the freshman reading program unless the assignment is dropped from

the syllabus. “Many have argued that because the

University of North Carolina chose a book that is controversial, they made a mistake,” said Sells. “But sometimes if one makes the right decision for the right reasons, the aftereffect of that decision may be a public service.”

Safe Haven seeks volunteers before it can re-open By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

ALLISON WILLIAMS/THE CHRONICLE

SAFE HAVEN provides a secure environment for students seeking help or comfort on weekend nights, but the need for more staffers means it may not open until next weekend.

ONE WORLD MARKET

Amidst growing concerns about campus safety, Safe Haven, a center on campus that offers drop-in service for . students on Friday and Saturday nights, may not be open this weekend as leaders continue to recruit new staff. Safe Haven was also closed last weekend. Safe Haven’s locations on West and East Campuses each need at least two student volunteers to work each night, but leaders are still accepting applications for the positions and training is not until Sept. 14. The lack of trained volunteers and the possibility of a second-straight weekend with no operation comes during a week in which two

students reported sexual assaults—one on West Campus and another off East Campus. Safe Haven has been operating out ofthe Women’s Center on West and the Wellness Center on East since 1992 and is one of the few of its kind in the country. “If a student is feeling unsafe at a party, wants to wait for the bus or Safeßides, needs a place to sober up or simply needs to use a clean bathroom, they are welcome at Safe Haven,” said Donna Lisker, director of the Women’s Center.

Greek organizations seek collaboration via new office Through retreats, co-sponsored events, leaders hope to combine resources of various groups By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

Administrators and student leaders alike are taking steps this year to align more closely all elements of the greek

community. In addition to holding Greek Week in October for all three-groups—the

residential Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council and the mostlyminority National Panhellenic Council—leaders of all 35 greek chapters will convene for a retreat Sept. 14 to discuss greater greek unity. Meanwhile, the newly created Office ofFraternity and Sorority Life is working to find its niche as a bridge between traditionally white and black greek organizations and as a forum for greater interaction and communication. Each chapter will literally share space in the same office, located in the lower level of the Bryan Center. “The students are committed to wanting a community,” said Nicole Manley, the office’s program coordinator, who arrived this summer. Sheldon Maye, vice president of the National Panhellenic Council, said he believes the new office will be especially conducive to more interaction between the groups. “I’m very excited about this new opportunity to literally work with the other greeks on campus,” wrote Maye in an e-mail. “It will be much harder for there to be a lack of communication between the groups in such a commonly

/0\

used [space] and close proximity.” Kerianne Ryan, president of the Panhellenic Council, and Jeremy Morgan, president of the Interfraternity Council, agreed with Maye. Ryan said the greek community should be less divided by councils and that together, all of the chapters are a base of unharnessed power. Morgan’s plans include events like leadership retreats, community service projects and conferences with greek members from the University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University to “promote positive interaction with our neighbors.” Among the new office’s other goals include developing a deeper, more longterm perspective in the greek community. Although many students only consider the time they will be at Duke, Todd Adams, director of the greek life office, and Manley want to concentrate on a longer time frame. Student leaders all agreed that the new office has so far offered unlimited support and several suggestions for

the upcoming year. “I think that if anything [the Office] assists greeks on campus by combining resources, makes the greek voice stronger,” Maye wrote. “Increased communication leads to increased knowledge and ultimately a stronger authority.” Ryan said the new office enables her to concentrate less on everyday functioning See GREEK LIFE on page 12

N.C. House narrowly rejects limits on legislative sessions The state House defeated a bill Wednesday that would have limited the number of days the Legislature can meet. The proposal came a year after the longest legislative session in history and had the potential to shift the balance of power in state government. Representatives voted 59-54 against the proposal, which would have limited the length of state legislative sessions to a total of 180 days in odd-numbered years and 90 days in even-numbered years. A 20-day extension could have been granted with agreement of both the House and Senate. Because it would have amended the state constitution, the bill required a three-fifths majority to pass. Supporters said two straight sessions extending well past the July 1 start of the fiscal year show the need to establish a deadline. But, in a lengthy debate, the bill’s opponents argued that a compressed meeting schedule would concentrate power in the hands of the governor, House and Senate leaders, legislative staff and lobbyists.

Wake schools to test students for drugs Using a new method as part of a federally funded pilot program, Wake County school officials will begin testing students for illegal drugs in October. Students suspected of using illegal drugs will be tested with kits provided

free to all Wake middle schools and high schools by a Washington, D.C., company that is also supplying them to a handful of other school districts in Minnesota, New Jersey and Virginia. Unlike some drug detection methods, such as urine testing, the new drug detection kits work quickly. Litmus paper is rubbed on surfaces such as book bags or hands; then a spray is applied to the paper. If even microscopic amounts of drugs are present, the paper changes color in seconds.

Seth Jaffe, staff attorney for the state ACLU, expressed concern that the original purpose of the federal program was to test the environment and not students. Jaffe questioned the accuracy of the tests and whether they will uncover actual drug use, because a student could have residue just from touching something that had been in contact with drugs.

Windows were also blown out of the Ministry of Communications and the nearby Central Post Office. “People had gathered around the first explosion site when suddenly that taxi flew into the air from a blast. I saw 50 people lying on the ground,” said sur-

ties Thursday that a debate about war in Iraq is likely to shift attention from the domestic issues—which Democrats believe they can win control ofboth houses of Congress—to national security, an issue on which the Republican party has traditionally enjoyed an advantage. The discourse over war seems likely as well to highlight what is emerging as a sharp contrast between the urgency of Bush, as he pushes to remove Saddam, and the tentativeness ofthe Democrats about what, if anything, to do in Baghdad. “The public has a greater confidence right now in this president and in the Republican Party on issues of foreign policy and homeland security than they do the Democratic Party,” said Rep. Thomas Davis, chairperson ofthe committee responsible for keeping the House under Republican control in November. That was a matter of concern for some Democrats Thursday. “For the last several months, we were talking about health care and Social Security and domestic issues,” an official said. “And now we’re talking about Iraq.”

vivor Haji Abdul Rauf, 41, a trader who had blood on his right sleeve, his head, and his face.

Night watchman Abdul Ahad Panjshiri, 60, said he saw a man in his 30s abandon the bicycle that blew up moments later. He said he wrestled the man to the ground and handed him over to police after the second blast. Authorities could not confirm Thursday night whether they had any sus-

pects under arrest. General Din Mohammad Jurat, head of security and public order for the Interior Ministry, called it the deadliest bombing in Kabul since a weapons depot at the presidential

palace exploded seven years ago, claiming at least 16 lives. Jurat and the Kabul Police Chief said they believed the explosives were locally procured and unsophisticated.

But in a reflection of polls that suggest Americans remain uncertain about an invasion of Iraq, Davis laughed Thursday when asked if he had talked to his members to get a sense of Republicans in Congress about an intervention. “You don’t need to talk to them,” he said. “You can just look at their public statements. You’ve got Larry Craig of Idaho saying he’s not sure we should be going in there.” Republicans said that they expected national security to remain a recurring issue in the fall campaigns, even after Congress adjourns. “It is perfectly fair game to talk about national security records,” said Mitch Bainwol, the executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “We’ll see these issues gain salience as we get closer to the election.” But some members of both parties predicted that in the end, the vast majority of Congress would back a resolution authorizing Bush to act. Such an outcome would, presumably, make it that more difficult for Republicans to differentiate themselves from Democrats this fall.

SAFE HAVEN from page 4 students each year use Safe Haven, which is open from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. She said, however, that reasons for using the facility fluctuate widely each year with the state of the on-campus social scene. Safe Haven Coordinator Kelly Quirk, a junior, said about 80 student volunteers are needed each semester to maintain operations.

“Because it’s a long shift, we try not to overburden our volunteers,” Quirk said, adding that each volunteer is expected to work at Safe Haven two or three times each semester. If enough trained volunteers from past years can be found, she said the Safe Haven on West may be open tonight and tomorrow night. Lisker noted that even though the service is unique to Duke and provides women a place to go if they are ever in

DEMOCRATS from page 1 [Bowles] has been largely credited with having put together the first balanced budget in a generation,” said Susan Legano, his press secretary. Even though Bowles is in favor of providing prescription drugs for seniors—a major issue in many national campaigns—he wants to reduce the price of drugs across the board. His strategy includes getting generic drugs into the market sooner, importing drugs from Canada, and capping the amount of money allowed for advertising drugs. Bowles is generally supportive of President George W. Bush’s foreign policy, and Bowles’ platform also highlights creating jobs and preventing the privatization of Social Security. “He is in favor of making job training more accessible. Critical to job creation is improving our public schools and making college affordable,” Legano said. Meanwhile, Blue, Law ’73, and Marshall are the two most likely challengers to Bowles’ campaign. “[Blue’s] 22 years of legislative leadership in the state congress and his incredibly strong ties to North Carolina make him the strongest candidate for this office,” said Cecil Gaboon, a Blue campaign spokesperson. Part ofhis work in the Legislature included attracting and retaining companies that provide high-paying jobs to more underdeveloped parts of the state. Blue opposes the North American Free Trade Agreement due to the number of jobs he says it has cost North Carolinians. “He has an unparalleled track record of improving

trouble, it cannot be counted on as an integral part of the University’s safety net. If a student comes to Safe Haven for assistance following a sexual assault, for example, the volunteers on call will almost always immediately call the police department to report the incident and get the victim more professional help, Lisker said. “Any time there is serious physical -injury or fear of injury, obviously you would want to call 911,” she said.

right now is below poverty wage,” she said. One ofthe main issues on Brown’s agenda is to ensure that people are able to secure a good quality of life through affordable housing and childcare. She favors creating a universal health care system based on the models of Canada and other countries. Such a system, Brown said, would be funded by using a percentage of income from individuals, businesses and the government. “My biggest advantage is that I don’t have a lot’ of contributors that I will have to answer to if I win the election. The only thing I have to answer to is the peo-

working conditions, salaries and benefits for educators in the school systems,” Gaboon said. In foreign policy issues, Blue’s stance has not been clearly defined. “He is waiting to hear the Bush administration’s case for invading Iraq before making a decision on whether or not it is absolutely necessary,” Gaboon said. Marshall is the only candidate in the race to have been elected twice to a statewide office. She said she feels this experience is her biggest advantage. “Since I started my career as a classroom teacher and worked in community colleges, I will always believe that education is the underpinning of society and the economy,” she said. Marshall said she believes there needs to be an increase in teacher salaries, a decrease in class size and an increase in the number and quality of school facilities. “This can be done by job training at community colleges, which the federal government needs to invest in,” she said. As for foreign policy, Marshall favors a more nonviolent policy than Bush does, particularly concerning the potential war with Iraq. “Our president is moving forward without the support of our allies. I don’t believe we know enough to go forward with Iraq at this point,” she said. Durham has its own hometown candidate in Cynthia Brown, who says what separates her from the others in the primary is that she is “the most aggressive candidate.” “I’m the only person in this race willing to say that $8.50 should be the minimum wage, that what we have

ple,” she said. The Durham People’s Alliance, a local organization that lobbies to correct social and economic inequalities, narrowly decided to endorse Marshall over Brown. “Cynthia Brown was our other choice and the race ended up being very tight,” said Randall Gilbert, a staff member at the organization. “Elaine Marshall was in our eyes the most progressive yet viable candidate,” The North Carolina National Organization for Women decided to endorse Marshall in February. “Elaine Marshall has always voted in favor of women on economic, violence and reproductive rights issues,” said Ellen Willis, president of North Carolina NOW.

Although Duke Democrats’ charter prevents the group from endorsing a candidate before the primary, President Jonathan Morris said he supports Bowles. “I think Bowles has the best chance against Elizabeth Dole,” said Morris, a senior. “He has experience in the federal government. He’s very intelligent and wellequipped to deal with economic issues.”

STUDENTS EXPRESSED JOY AND DISBELIEF when the football team ended its 23-game losing streak Saturday against East Carolina.

FOOTBALL FANS from page 1

famed head coach such as the Game-

“It’s great to see that kind of enthusiasm from the fans. This football team is young and they really need it.” Students said the atmosphere in Wallace Wade Stadium may never come close to matching that of basketball games in Cameron Indoor Stadium, but they are excited about the possibility of trying to pack the student section and coming up with footballspecific cheers Saturday. “The team still has a lot of progress to make, but the fact that I could see a good football team in my four years here is just great,” said sophomore Steve Coit. He added that even though a post-season bowl bid might be slightly out of reach, a four or five-win season would be a success in the minds of most students. Fellow sophomore Buggs Carll, a native ofColumbia, S.C.—home ofthe University of South Carolina Gamecocks said he is experienced with a team’s —

sudden reversal of fortunes. “[South Carolina] had an 0-and-22 streak going and when they finally won they tore down the goal posts, too,” Carll said. “It definitely created a new frenzy in Columbia because the football fan population was in a citywide state

of depression.” He added that Duke’s fan support could experience a similar reemergence this season, although it would be significantly more difficult without a

cocks’ Lou Holtz. “I’m glad to see [head coach] Carl Franks finally get a break, though,” Carll said. Franks, for one, is glad to see the students supporting the team in such

numbers. “That made me feel real good about my school, the way they came out there and wanted to celebrate with our players and be involved with the football team,” he said. “And we know we need to go out there and give them a reason to come out there and get involved.... They’re a fabulous student body.” Alumni and local Duke fans are also expected to help pack the stadium. Alieva estimated an attendance similar to the 23,276 of the ECU game, although this time he thought the majority would

be Duke fans.

Scott Yakola, director of sports promotions, said it is too early to tell if there will be a big push from out-oftown fans for tickets. “The days in which you’ll notice a big increase are Friday and Saturday,” when road-trippers tend to arrive in Durham, Yakola added. the Although excited about Louisville game, students, alumni and local fans were cautioned to keep things in perspective. “This is only one game,” said Alieva. “There are 11 more to play. It’s a long

season.” Robert Samuel contributed to this

story.

PARTY MONITORS,,™ page3 quirement that they remain sober for 24 hours before the event, but admitted that the job of a party monitor becomes more difficult as the night progresses In the last year, the number of fights at parties

has decreased, while the number of sexual assaults has increased. Administrators said they are uncertain about how much party monitors contributed to these changes.

“The atmosphere of the meeting was telling that there is a problem—that people were cutting up and stuff,” said Kappa Alpha Order fraternity sophomore Hamilton Boggs, who attended a training session Wednesday night. “But whether [trainees] took it seriously or not, everyone there heard the message and will be a little more aware.” When the original idea for party monitors was conceived, the University planned for professional monitors to work with student monitors at parties, but the

idea became unfeasible last September when administrators could not find a private company that could cater to such a large number of events. Both Bryan and Wasiolek said that residential advisors and the new full-time residence coordinators could help control crowds, although the University is not asking that they supervise parties. “Party monitors are taking theirroles seriously, not just as something to please administrators,” Bryan said. “A weakness may be, though, that it is difficult to confront one’s peers, though I am not even sure that is a role we want them to have.” In light of an increased sexual assault awareness on campus in the last year, Director of the Women’s Center Donna Lisker said she hopes party monitors will take an active role in creating a safer campus, despite the fact that the number of sexual assaults increased last year. “Last year, we did training with the idea it could be useful in preventing sexual assaults,” Lisker said. “In my opinion, the most effective kind of intervention is peer intervention.”

activity was suppressed, but [the subjects] responded more to the emotional stimuli,” Laßar said. MRI analysis also concluded how the activity was coordinated within the brain. “What we found is that attentional targets are activated in a superior network in the brain... and distracting stimuli in a ventral part of the brain,” Laßar said. In addition, the researchers determined that an important section of the frontal lobe called the anterior cingulate was the only brain area that responded to both types of stimuli, suggesting it acts as the integrating center for all such cognition. The researchers plan to repeat the experiment with depressed patients to see precisely how brain function goes awry in cognitive disorders, which will aid in the development of drug treatments and

other therapies. “Whenever you understand a process in the brain, it allows you to understand how to treat it,” said Cynthia Kuhn, a professor of pharmacology and an expert on neuropharmacology. “As far as developing treatments, an imaging study is incredibly powerful.”

and more on formulating new ideas, because the office combines resources and amplifies the greek voice. One of the things that Manley hopes to amplify is philanthropy. She said it is a large part of greek organizations, but is not given the public credit it deserves. She hopes to increase awareness of community service by recording hours and making the activities more visible on campus. Perhaps most importantly—considering the perception of many greeks that the administration is aggressively seeking to limit them—is the role the new office plays in the relationship between administrators and students. Morgan said the office legitimizes the role of fraternities and sororities in the eyes ofthe administration. He said he has enjoyed interacting with Adams, who also belonged to a fraternity and has been a very popular figure among fraternity members since his arrival three years ago. “[Adams] has a greek perspective,” Morgan said. “He’s easy to talk to, knows how to be critical and how to give positive reinforcement.”

Men’s soccer hosts Adidas classic Sampras reigns at By

GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

After posting a 3-0 victory over Georgia Southern last Sunday, the men’s soccer team will, host George Washington and South Carolina this weekend at the Duke Adidas Classic. In the first matchup the Blue Devils will take on the high-scoring Colonials from Washington D.C., today at 7:30 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium. Led by junior forward Arnar Johannsson, a native of Iceland, the George Washington offense has managed to net an impressive seven goals in their first two games of the season. In their last game, Johannsson scored all four of his team’s goals despite being double-teamed for much of the

US Open By SELENA ROBERTS

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK Up to his baby whiskers in frustration, with his moment to validate his hype quickly becoming a legend’s chance to reclaim his, Andy Roddick unleashed his anger on a third-set shot that dived at Pete Sampras’ shoelaces. Somehow, the aging, slumping, fading Sampras responded with the flexibility of a Slinky, bending his knees into a full squat to flick a half-volley over the tape for a winner and toying with Roddick’s despair. At age 20, Roddick wasn’t ready for this. He wasn’t prepared for the buzz inside Arthur Ashe Stadium Thursday night, the pressure of facing an idol in a major tournament or the resolve Sampras was about to reveal. At age 31, Sampras was in his comfort zone. He thrived on the amped-up atmosphere, tunneled the energy into his legs and discovered yet another way to expose Greg Rusedski’s ignorance. “Greg thought he was over the hill,” said Sampras’ coach, Paul Annacone. “But we see what Pete can do when his mind is set on it.”

second half. Blue Devil head coach John Rennie will make sure his defense is up to par before Friday night’s contest. “George Washington is one of the best goal scoring teams in the country,” Rennie said.

Goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge, along with his group of defenders, will have their hands full with the Colonial’s offensive pressure. Matt Osborne, a Colonial forward who netted George Washington’s other two goals, will draw Duke’s full attention. Where Duke can exploit George Washington is on transition plays. The Colonials gave up 12 shots to lowly Howard in the first half of their game last week. If Jordan Cila and Donald

The Huskies will be the third consecutive top-15 team Duke has faced to open up the 2002 season, and mindful of his side’s second-round exit in last year’s NCAA Tournament—in which the Blue Devils drew No.l-seeded North Carolina—head coach Robbie Church emphasized the importance of tonight’s match-up. “This game is just another great opportunity to get a significant win,” he said. “You take those significant wins and you put them in the bank and they come back to you at NCAA selection time. We got one at Tennessee, but we need some more.” Stepping foot on the Tar Heels home turf will be another motivating factor for the Duke women. The Blue Devils will not actually do battle with their archrivals until October 27, but the shadow of the 16time national champions nonetheless looms large. “We’re trying to step out of that ‘stepchild’ shadow,”

The Blue Devils hope to make a statement through their revamped offensive attack. In an attempt to develop more scoring chances, Duke changed alignments over the summer, shifting from a defensive 4-42 into an aggressive 4-3-3. Center midfielder Casey McCluskey, whose nine goals in 2001 led the Blue Devils, feels the adjustments are already paying dividends. “Our lineup is just much more attacking-oriented,” the sophomore said. “A lot of our practices are geared towards finding the attacking players, and our system has [completely] changed.” Church cautioned, however, that despite their increased confidence, the Blue Devils still need to work on taking advantage of the increase in scoring chances.

Behind a furious five-run scoring barrage in the 13th inning, the Durham Bulls defeated the Toledo Mud Hens 8-5. The Bulls return home needing just one more victory to advance.

Picks OUTSIDE OF WILSON REG., Durham The Grid Pickers, still ecstatic over last week’s victory over ECU, were busy setting up

camp in the area now known as Franksville. Leading the bunch was “Would you like butter with your” Roily Miller, whose age advantage was clearly the factor in giving him the early lead. Miller, however, denied such a claim. “&%$@ you,” he said. While Miller was perched in Tent 1, Paul “-y Dogs are now available late-night” Doran and Nick Chris “Dapolito is my god” -tie had claimed Tent 2. “After we beat Louisville, that’s what our millennium win total will be,” Doran explained.

yards, one touchdown and a very costly interception. This contrasts nicely with the Blue Devils’ defensive line, which gave up only 25 rushing yards against ECU. “Whenever you see somebody’s offensive line suffering, you think to attack the line,” junior linebacker Ryan Fowler said. “We’ve got to take advantage of that. I think its going to be a really big game for [the defense]. Without an offensive line, the quarterback is nothing.” Things look more precarious for the filue Devils on offense. The Cardinals defense lived up to expectations, holding Kentucky to negative eight yards on its first five plays. “Their defense played extremely well in stopping Kentucky from scoring after

turnovers,” head coach Carl Franks said. The Blue Devils will still be experimenting with two quarterbacks. Adam Smith will start once again, but he will share time with Chris Dapolito. Last week at ECU, the wet conditions forced Duke to run the ball more often. “I don’t know what kind of passing game we have yet because we couldn’t throw it last week,” Franks said. Wade will look to repeat his careerhigh, 109-rushing yard performance this Saturday. Although last Saturday’s conditions complimented the Philadelphia native’s style, he may have trouble adjusting to the heat, a factor which he

has complained about.

After playing through injuries last

week, junior running back Chris Douglas is 100 percent healthy, and he looks to regain the form he displayed last year as the Blue Devils leading rusher.

The Chronicle

“They’re bigger thanEast Carolina up

front, so I don’t think I’m going to be featured as much,” Wade said. ‘We’re going to have to use our whole offense to win.” Louisville brought controversy to the game with its decision not to exchange game tape. Normally seen as an act of arrogance, Duke is downplaying the event. “I don’t know.what was behind [the game tape controversy],” Fowler said. “I have no real feelings about it. Maybe it’s because there’s only been one game this season, and we’ve changed our whole defense. They don’t need our game tape, and we don’t need there’s.” The Blue Devils approach Saturday night’s contest exuding confidence, especially after Louisville’s upset loss. “[Louisville] losing to Kentucky certainly gives us hope,” Fowler said. ‘We have all the momentum.”

TENNIS from page 11

SHAUN BEST/REUTERS

PETE SAMPRAS shakes his fist in celebration following his 6-3,6-2, 6-4 victory over Andy Roddick in the U.S. Open Quarterfinals.

During the 11-week course, in addition to learning the nuts and bolts of tax preparation, you will receive clear explanations of the ever changing tax laws and how to use them to your advantage. You'll receive this information from some of the finest, most experienced tax preparation instructors in the country. The course covers everything from completing a basic 1040 to returns with multiple schedules. They'll give you the confidence to handle even the most complex

What he did was so easy, it left fans numb. Over 90 minutes, Sampras refused to depart so that Roddick could arrive, winning by 6-3, 6-2, 6-4, advancing to the semifinals at the U.S. Open and acting anything but his age. “Trust me, I’m 31,” Sampras said. “These are big moments, playing Andy in a night match. He’s the young up-and-comer that has a great future. I’m pumped up. No question, I kind offeed off the energy at play here. “Everything combined, I got off to a great start, kind of set the tone early. Andy wasn’t quite at the top of his game. He seemed a bit low. I’ve seen him more upbeat.” Two nights ago, the class clown in Roddick spilled onto the court in an energized, entertaining display against Juan Ignacio Chela. Roddick, the young star who had let expectations squeeze the fun out of tennis for him this year, was back to loving the game. He highfived the crowd after pulling off a video-game-style shot, made cartoon faces as he strutted around the court and proclaimed, “This is my house.” He couldn’t do that against Sampras. This was the old man’s house. But Roddick did not appear to suppress his antics in reverence to Sampras. He just never got the good vibe going. Before he knew it, he was down by two sets to none, on his way to losing his serve early in the third set. “Disappointing, yes,” Roddick said. “But it’s a learning experience. It’s still a learning experience. I’ll try my best to soak it up. I think I’ll have my moment here someday.” It is not his time, not yet. Sampras is still kicking, but he is not into moral victories. He is desperate to vanquish the most recited statistic in tennis: Sampras has not won a major since his record 13th at the 2000

Long before the first serve, there was an image of the young Sampras on the jumbo screen inside the stadium, a vision of a bushy-haired kid with the physique of a ball boy and a serve that deserved a patent. Minutes later, Roddick came through the stadium tunnel arriving as America’s current phenom, trailed by Sampras, the symbol of days gone by. “You guys say Pete is washed up,” Roddick said. “I’ve never said it. I don’t think many players doubt his capabilities. He’s had maybe some subpar performances, but I don’t think anybody doubts the fact that he’s capable of great tennis still.” Except for Rusedski. Moments after his loss to Sampras on Monday, he suggested that Sampras would not win another match this week, questioning what was left in his body. Resilience was not an issue Thursday night. Sampras didn’t have to find out how his body would handle a fifth set. He didn’t let it get that far. Sampras sent that message in the second game of the match. He put pressure on Roddick by handling his 130 mph with a timeless wrist snap. On break point against Roddick, Sampras’ reflexes were almost gaudy. As Roddick rifled a shot down the line, Sampras turned his back, stabbed at a drop volley and looked over his shoulder as it landed for a winner. “It’s just confidence out there,” Sampras said. “I’m just going for shots, making them. It’s clicking. I’ve been waiting all year for it to click.” One hour into the match, Sampras was up by two sets to none, stunning everyone looking on, including Boris Becker, His advice to Roddick? “Get out of the stadium,” he said in a cameo as a television analyst.

Freshman Ryan Deter, the teams leading scorer, has found the back of the goal three times this season. Despite their offensive similarity to George Washington, South Carolina’s defense has been stellar in its first two starts. Gamecock goalie Michael Bachmeyer faced only two shots against Charleston Southern and eight against Jacksonville. Head coach Mark Berson is excited about his young team, which features eight freshman and three transfers, including last year’s Junior College National Player of the year, Ricky Quest. “I think this is a fun team to work with,” Berson said. “They work very hard and there is no substitute for experience. Some spots we played very well, while in other spots not so good.” The Blue Devils will have to take advantage of the Gamecocks inexperience Sunday to compete.

“We’ve got to score,” Church said. “I see us creating opportunities all year, and I think our attack is a lot more lethal then it was last year, but we have to finish.” For the second straight weekend the Blue Devils will be without All-ACC goalie Thora Helgadottir, who is still

Church expressed confidence, however, in backup Katie Straka, saying the team is very happy with the sophomore in net, especially after last Friday’s victory over Tennessee. The Huskies will also be without their top netminder, senior Hope Solo. The standout goalkeeper is currently training with the U.S. National team, and will be unavailable for the contest.

AMP CHANGING

HIS NAME TO 'JARED'-

A flood Sunday night marred the opening of the first new dormitory on West Campus in decades, the West-Edens Link.

Seniors

might remember the Ocean, a giant parking lot that used to exist where the West-Edens Link now stands. The ocean made a triumphant return to campus Sunday night, when the new dormitory flooded, turning numerous students into refugees. In the two weeks since the WEL opened, it has seen some growing pains. Less than a week after opening, Rick’s Diner, the WEL’s 24-hour eatery, had to close because ofsupply concerns, and the accidental activation Sunday of a fire sprinkler began flooding on many floors of Buildings A and B of the WEL. During the flood, administrators waited for over an hour to tell students what was going on or what the procedure would be for cleaning and restoring peace to the WEL. Unfortunately, Duke’s response team also waited for over an hour to stop the sprinklers, although it was almost instantaneously apparent that there was no fire at all. Duke’s inaction converted a small isolated incident into a quad-wide disaster. The flooding temporarily displaced 30 or 35 students, but caused property damage that affected many more. Although the University has said homeowner’s insurance should take care of the damage, it has the obligation to ensure that students are compensated for the damage caused by a faulty system and the delinquent response team. Furthermore, this is especially important in light of the fact that many residents whose property was destroyed this year are the same students who suffered the same fate last year in Randolph Dormitory on East Campus. Not only did administrators refuse to offer any financial assistance to students affected by that incident, the bursar’s office allegedly charged them for property damage. Hopefully, in the wake of last year’s incident, the University will be much more accommodating to students injured this year by University negligence. The flood notwithstanding, the WEL has been a very important addition to West Campus. Rick’s Diner and the Blue Devil Beanery, despite their initial difficulties—supply and refrigeration concerns for the former and a lack offurniture for the latter—opened on time, a rare occurrence for a new dining venue on campus. Additionally, although the landscaping is not yet complete, the WEL was completed on time for students to move in, a testament to the hard work and meticulous planning of Judith White’s Residential Program Review. The WEL, a good location to hold on-campus parties, is an integral part ofthe administration’s residential plan. Hopefully, it will foster community and provide more options for students in the future. *

Alcohol policy woes

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,

Official versus real diversity

19905: Kegs are not permitted on campus unless authorized and monitored by the University. 1999: Co-sponsored fratemity/sorority alcohol-related events in frat houses are eliminated. 1999-today: Selective and greek organizations lose their campus housing. In the past four years, campus social life has been stifled by addendums to the University alcohol policy. These actions have raised complaints within the student body as we have been forced off campus for many social events. While some of our woes may seem trivial to the administration, students have serious concerns about the intentions of the University. Yes, students are angry that fraternities are being eliminated one by Jennifer one like pawns in a game of chess. Yes, we long for the days when we had the Hideaway. However, a more contentious The Y Perspective issue lies at the heart of student angst. As the alcohol policy becomes more stringent, the administration’s desire to clear itself of liability supersedes its duty to protect student lives. While pushing events off campus is sold to us as a painless change, it comes with severe consequences for the student body. Instead of creating policies with our best interests in mind, the administration has instituted protocol that instead protects the University’s reputation. These are just some of the negative effects we can expect with the alcohol policy in place: Drunk driving. With events pushed off campus, students no longer have the luxury ofbuses to take them to parties. The administration’s answer for off campus events? The Duke-Durham weekend bus service that only travels to selective venues and is an impractical and inconvenient means of transportation. The University also provides no way to get to events at off-campus houses. The lack of efficient transportation means some students will be stupid enough to get behind the wheel while under the influence, putting themselves, their passengers and the lives of other

By my count, I have been instructed to “Celebrate Diversity!” about 27 times so far at Duke, and by now the phrase is enough to induce a visceral shudder of pain. Not that diversity’s a bad thing—it isn’t. It’s just that it comes it two kinds: the real kind, and the official kind. The official kind won’t stop telling us Wgm how wonderful it is—it’s the kind that K ' sent my dad home from work this sum-

thing worthwhile would result. And with mass communication, easy travel and increasing intermarriage, fusion has been fighting a winning battle against the oppositetendency toward racism. “Americans continue to melt into each other,” says a recent Salon article para-

mer with a “Celebrating Diversity— Together We Make a Difference!” lunch bag and stress ball. But its real-world implications can be deadly. Goodman An example from last year; the Oh Dear, I’m Ever Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet So Pissed reports that 65 percent of rapes of

Norwegian women were committed by “non-Westem” immigrants, mostly Muslims. The paper quotes a professor of social anthropology at the University of Oslo, who says that “Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for these rapes” because Muslim men found their clothing provocative. “Norwegian women must realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves to it.” An example of the real kind: New York City. Or Eminem. Ignore whatever lyrics you find offensive and you see a white man “acting black”—that is, sampling freely from a tradition not traditionally his own. Real diversity means cultural exchange, and exchange is diversity’s only usefulness. Believe it or not, that’s what often happens when people are left to their own devices. The process of cultural fusion, with no thanks to queer theory or critical race studies, has given us everything from Japanese anime to that Sting song with overlaid lyrics in English and Arabic, from American Buddhism to a majorityPresbyterian South Korea, to Christianity itself, a blend of Jewish tradition and Greek Neo-Platonism.

This leaves the door open for muggings, sexual assaults and other crimes. Binge drinking. If administrators think binge drinking is a huge problem now, they should consider converting the Healthy Devil into an AA office. While fewer events and less access to alcohol on campus appear to be good things—especially with regards to underage drinking—it actually only aggravates the problem. Though students may be drinking less often, they will not be cutting down the quantities they imbibe. Once students get their hands on alcohol they will abuse it, drinking more to make up for what they could not obtain previously. Neglected medical problems. More off campus events means more students will not receive the medical attention they need. There will be no student-run EMT service to take intoxicated students to the emergency room. There is no longer the convenience of a hospital within walking distance from parties. Fear of legal trouble and having their party broken up will keep residents of offcampus houses from calling for help. Students that require medical assistance will not receive it, which could lead to more cases ofalcohol poisoning and alcohol-

phrasing essayist Richard Rodriguez, “despite the census classifications and affirmative action programs that intend to deepen color lines.” But the good news doesn’t apply everywhere in the world: Much of Europe is an exception, and so are those mini-Europes on our own soil we call college campuses. Ironically enough, college campuses are some of the worst places for real exchange, because here the theorists have stepped in. Let me give an example ofthe most embarrassing kind of official diversity I’ve seen so far. At our freshman convocation last year, we heard a very good speech by Maya Angelou. At the end, I turned over our program, and printed on the back was: “This speech is intended to increase awareness of diversity at Duke University”—something she hadn’t even mentioned! All I could conclude was that some people were absolutely delighted at the thought that a real, live black woman could be articulate and just wanted to pass the discovery along to us. That’s the problem with the theorists of official diversity: The words of a black woman, or any other minority, cannot be taken simply as interesting or intelligent—that they came from a black woman is the salient fact. In this worldview, exchange is verboten: Westerners shouldn’t study Middle Eastern culture, writes prominent Arab-studies professor Edward Said, because their very nationality makes them permanently biased and “inauthentic.” Nor can exchange go in the other direction: It is to the school of official diversity that we owe epithets like “Uncle Tom” and “Twinkle” (brown on the outside, white on the inside, ha ha). It’s natural that such a philosophy would reinforce self-segregation. The problem at Duke isn’t endemic racism. The problem is that we can have on our campus people of so many different races who manage to gain so little from each other. A problem like that can’t be solved in the newspaper, but in my next column I’d like to suggest some new ways of thinking that could make life a little better. Until then, this is the key thing to remember: Our nation owes much of its greatness to the melding of peoples, and our great discovery was that identities can be reshaped and transcended. But when we fixate on our identities, melding becomes impossible. Official diversity is an elaborate system of walls disguised as enlightenment. We pursue it at the risk of stagnation.

Men’s soccer wants quick turnaround from 2001

Despite a losing season, the Blue Devils still have respect and are ready to prove they belong By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

If goals are contagious, as the saying goes, the men’s soccer team (1-0-1) spent last season living in a bubble. The Blue Devils, who averaged less than a goal and a half per game in 2001, are hoping that an infusion of new blood lead to more goals in 2002. “We have a lot of goal scorers,” said junior-forward Jordan Gila, who led the team with eight goals and eight assists last season. “We got some good freshmen in. [Sophomore] Nigie [Owoicho Adogwa] had, for him, an off-year [in 2001] and the way he started this season, I expect him to provide some goals this year. We have some guys on the bench who can come in at any time and score goals. Hopefully I’ll get my rhythm going a little bit and put some in the back of the net.” Cila and Adogwa will receive help up front from junior Danny Wymer and a number of freshmen. Senior captain Donald Mclntosh said, “two new freshmen, lan Carey and Danny Kramer, are two guys” who can

contribute to Duke’s offense. “This weekend Danny got a goal and I think lan will score a lot of goals.” Duke will look to establish the midfield more this season and hold the ball. A trio of seniors—Mclntosh, co-captain Scott Noble, who missed last season after having a kidney transplant and Trevor Perea, who is expected to return from injury shortly—will cement Duke

in the middle. “Goal scoring is the result of a brilliant individual—like an Ali Curtis, who was here for four years and you could get goals just from Ali on his own pure talent, ability and explosiveness —or, most of the time, your goals come when you create a lot of chances as a team,” 24-year head coach John Rennie said. “Last year, we had prob-

lems with that because we didn’t maintain possession well enough as a team. This year, we’re a stronger team in terms of the ability to hold the ball, and possess the ball and move the ball around and create scoring chances for a lot of different players.” Last season was Rennie’s least successful year at Duke. The team finished 8-10-1, the first time the Blue Devils ended the season with a losing record since 1977. But rather than seeing last year of harbinger for the future of the program, the Blue Devils are using last year’s frustration as a source of motivation. “We have a lot to prove,” Gila said. “I think we haven’t lost a lot of respect—it’s more viewed as one down year two years ago or three years ago Virginia had a really down year, but they have the respect of every team in the country. It’s just something that happened last year. We’ve definitely used it as motivation,, not so much as respect from other teams, but respect for ourselves as a team —I think that’s the most important thing, to have a positive outlook.” Having a good year will be difficult, since the ACC is again outstanding. Currently North Carolina, Virginia and Clemson are in the top five of both major polls, with Virginia ranked No. 1 by Soccer America. Wake Forest is ranked in the top 25 of both polls and Maryland will likely break into the poll later this season. Duke’s strength will likely remain defense, where the Blue Devils lost only Kevin Sakuda and keeper Scott Maslin. “I think the defense is the strength of our team this year,” said sophomore Justin Trowbridge, who is stepping in at goalie. “We’ve been playing very well defensively—as we did last year as well. We’ve worked hard on opponents not scoring and being mistake-free in the —

Junior forward Jordan Clla Is ready to restore the men's soccer team to national When talking about the upcoming

season, Jordan Cila isn’t one to hide his emotions.

The offensive leader of the men’s soccer team, has made his ardent disdain

for the cauldron that was the 2001 season—the first losing season under head

coach John Rennie—clear. But now, with an assuring confidence for 2002 his eyes grow with excitement and anticipation. “We’re really optimistic,” Cila said. “We’re a much better and deeper crop of players.” The 2002 edition of the men's soccer team is brimming with talent and hope for a reversal of fortunes this fall after suffering its first losing season, in 24 years under head coach John Rennie. “We can’t let that happen again,” Cila said. “And we won’t let that happen again.” Since Rennie’s first year in 197?, the Blue Devils have gone 332-120-27, ranking Duke fifth in winning percentage in the country in that time span. In addition to claiming the school’s first ever national championship in 1986, Ren-

nie’s Blue Devils have qualified for the NCAA tournament 15 times, won three ACC regular season championships, and an ACC tournament title in 1999.

Gila’s role in returning Duke to national prominence will be pivotal. “It’s his turn to be the real veteran leader of this team,” Rennie said. “He’s a junior, but he’s as much a veteran as anybody we have out there.” Already a two-time All-ACC performer, Cila led Duke in goals, assists, and points in 2001 despite missing a significant portion of the season due to mononucleosis. In his freshman campaign, he racked up 13 goals and nine assists, placing him third on Duke’s all-time freshman points list. He’ll have to put up even better numbers this year if he and the Blue Devils want to climb back atop the national polls. “He’s definitely the most important offensive player,” co-captain Donald Mclntosh said. “Hopefully we can get him on a little streak and keep him going.” Gila hadn’t expected to be working with such a young group at the forward position, however. Due to an injury to All-ACC senior Trevor Perea, Cila has been starting with a duet of talented freshman in lan Cary and Danny Kramer. While the burden of being the definitive go-to-guy would make most players cringe, Cila shrugs and acknowledges that if they can

play, they’ll get the job done regardless of their age. “All seven [freshmen] are quality players,” he said. “They can all contribute and play.” As the point forward for Duke, Cila will spend much of 2002 creating opportunities for his teammates. The balls will be played into him and he’ll lead the attack from there. That Cila will be in control is very comforting to Rennie. “Obviously he’s a goal scorer, but he has the experience out there on the field when play is going on to work with the freshman,” Rennie said. “From a tactical standpoint, [he’s] going to be a coach on the field.” Duke’s offense is more team-oriented than most, so a reliance on superior skills and leadership will be key to the Blue Devils’ success this year. This is where Cila will have the opportunity to thrive—as will his team. Rennie be-

lieves that of all ofGila’s strengths, his most prolific weapon is his understanding of the game. His ability to read the field and control the rhythm of the game gives Duke a potent force and leader in 2002. “I’m very excited to get things going,” said Cila. “We anticipate a very positive year.”

Despite losing three of its top-four goal scorers to graduation, therefore haying to play three or more freshman in its rotation this year, the women’s soc-rt-mhas no need to worry. Ihe Blue Devils (1-1) reloaded with the seventh-best recruiting class in the country and bonded as a team this summer a vital intangible factor that was ~

missing from last season’s equation. Junior midfielder Gwendolyn Oxenham, who missed four games last season with a knee injury, already has a positive feeling about her team, “I think the freshmen that we have coming in are very talented, and together as a team, our chemistry is much better, than last year,” she said. “We feel like we’re on the same page. We don’t want to have the same season as last year.”

CASEY McCLUSKEY will be an integral part of the Blue Devils’ potent offense

After a rough ACC season last year, coupled with an 8-10-1 overall record, the 2001 season could easily be forgotten by the returning Blue Devils. One strategy Duke has already employed in their first two games of the season is a new formation. Last season’s more defensive stance on the field did not deter opposing teams from scoring, with Duke being outscored by five goals during the season. This year’s revamped lineup includes moving one midfielder to an attack position, something that Duke hopes its players will be able to capitalize upon this season. “We have a lot of speed and we’re trying to attack more,” Casey McCluskey said. “We’re playing a lot better. Even though we’re so new it seems like we’ve been playing together a long time.” As a freshman last year, McCluskey was the team’s leading goal scorer and was an All-ACC selection. She and freshman Carolyn Riggs lead an up-tempo offensive attack that features various runs behind the opposition’s defense.

ers rested as the season progresses. “Even though we have a pretty inexperienced lineup, we’re also a lot deeper,” McCluskey said. “The players coming off the bench are great. We don’t lose anything when they come in.” Last season, the Blue Devils certainly had a problem with overtime games, something their deeper bench could possibly solve. Losing four games at home also hurt Duke’s ACC record. The Blue Devils made a list of goals before the season, with some emphasis on these types of game situations. “We want to win all our home games and finish in the top three in our conference,” Oxenham said. “Our ultimate goal is to make it past the third round of

the tournament this year.” In the past three seasons, each women’s soccer team has managed to qualify for the second round of the NCAA tournament, and subsequently lose. This year’s team will have plenty of worthy competition during the season to prepare them to make a trek past the With seven freshmen on the roster second round. this year, the Blue Devils will be countIn their non-conference schedule the ing on youth to help them during the seaBlue Devils will face-off against 15thson.

This year's freshmen class has added new life to the women's soccer team By Nick Christie The Chronicle The goal for Robbie Church and the women’s soccer team was to get faster and more aggressive. Defensively stout, particularly with All-ACC goalkeeper Thora Hel-

gadottir in net, Church needed his team to become an attacking force, one that could

dictate play against the nation’s top teams, rather than rely on counterattacking.

Duke’s head coach turned to outside help,

bringing in an array oftalented freshmen, including two attack-minded standouts, Carolyn Riggs and Carmen Bognanno. Their styles contrast one another to the extreme, but the overall effect is the same. The two underclassmen generate offense and score goals, with each of them tallying one in the Blue Devils’ opening weekend of play. “Just having them, it’s not just changed our system, it’s changed everything,” said Casey McCluskey, the only other Blue Devil to have found the back of the net.

Although both players’ styles of play are eye-catching, it is the 5-foot-9 Riggs and her boundless physical talent that most coaches drool over. “Carolyn is very, very fast, probably the fastest player we have,” Church said while rattling off Riggs’ attributes. “She’s got a knack for scoring goals; she’s very dangerous in the final third [of the field]; she also gets

great lines behind [opposing] players; she’s a smart, thinking player.” So Riggs is the complete package. Well, almost complete. A tremendous athlete, she is currently focused on improving her on-the-ball skills in order to become a truly whole player, and thereby, a dominant force. For a role model, Riggs looks to McCluskey, last year’s freshman sensation and now an integral component ofthe Duke team. “Casey McCluskey has awesome touch,” Riggs said. “I may be bigger, but she still has a lot better technical ability. Basically, it’s how you use your strengths.” At only 5-2, Bognanno strength is her mental toughness. Anyone who has seen the freshman compete, even in practice, quickly realizes that she seldom lacks intensity. Unintimidated by older players, Bognanno plays as if she believes every loose ball belongs to her. Rather than simply pursuing a play, she hurls herself across the field. “I’m a bit of a smaller player,” Bognanno said. “I need to make up for my size with grit, so I’ve got to get on top of every ball.” In fact, her frantic pace ofplay is deceiving. “She’s like the energy rabbit,” Church said. “On our winning goal against Tennessee, 90 percent of people would have let

the ball go out ofbounds, but she chased it, slide on the line, knocked it down and moved it up. She made a winning play...That just typifies Carmen.” Much like her fellow freshman standout Riggs’ athletic talents have paid immediate dividends for the Blue Devils. Despite a preseason injury that stunted her progress, she came off the bench against top-15 sides Tennessee and Texas and immediately made her presence felt. She registered an assist against the Volunteers and then scored Duke’s lone goal in its 2-1 defeat to the Longhorns. Despite such impressive production in few minutes, Riggs does not yet feel that she’s entitled to a starting role. “It’s been awesome for me to be an impact player, but I’ve only been able to do well because the team is pushing so hard,” she said. Given their tough opening schedule, the Blue Devils’ were forced to start the season in high gear. Not the least bit intimidated, the freshman enjoyed battling the nation’s elite. “I actually think that’s better for us,” Bognanno said. “It forces us to come together quickly because we have to do well against nationally-ranked teams so that we get respect.” They are indeed the reinforcements

Duke needed.

Field hockey tries to compete in tough conference Tri-captains Chrissy Ashley, Kim Gogola and Sarah Wright try to lead young team to NCAAs By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

Already having started the season undefeated, the field hockey team (2-0) is well on its way to a winning season. Rebounding off last year’s 0-4 record in the ACC, the team hopes to be a contender within one of the nation’s toughest conferences. “We have a better overall feel for the game,” senior midfielder Chrissy Ashley said. “Everyone is confident and we know that every game is big. We had a lot of injuries, but are coming along now and getting all the positions set.” Ashley will be one of three captains, along with senior Sarah Wright and junior Kim Gogola. Senior goalkeeper Erica Perrier will also provide experience to the relatively young team. The squad features five freshmen and eight

returning sophomores. ‘We are strong at every position,” Wright said. “There is no weak link and we have the right people in the right roles for what we need. This year could be promising.” Leading Duke’s forward attack is sophomore Johanna Bischof, who fell just short of setting freshmen records in goals and points last year. Juniors Stacey Tsougas and Kim Van Kirk will also play on the front lines. Adding to the attack, freshman Katie Grant earned two goals and two assists in her first pair of collegiate games last weekend. Junior Jessica Fluck and sophomore Gracie Sorbello will be switching to midfield after playing defense last year.

Manning the defense will be Wright and Gogola, along with sophomore Suzanne Simpson. Perrier will start in goal, backed up by sophomore Morgan Dali and freshman Christy Morgan. “We all work well off each other,” Ashley said. “We have good communication. Although all the teams in the ACC are really good, I feel like we can definitely give everyone a game.” The Blue Devils face a tough schedule that concludes with hosting Michigan, last year’s national champions. Their road game at Old Dominion will also be a challenge. The team hopes to fare better against ACC opponents, many of which lost their dominant players from last year. The Blue Devils also get another edge because they will have the home field advantage in this year’s ACC tournament in November. “Our goal is to improve every game,” head coach Liz Tchou said. “The girls are open to learning and we will just take the season one game at a time.” The team will be run by Tchou and head assistant Cindy Werley, along with two new assistants, Sally Bell and Lori Stark. The coaches have been focusing much of their energies on strategy and technique, more than just conditioning. The team appears to be more mentally tough than in previous years. “It seems like everyone is really focused,” Wright said. “If we follow the game plan and make everything count, we will definitely be more successful. I

have a different perspective as a senior. I’ve realized that every day really does count.”

Cross country looks for respect � Although both the men and women find themselves in the national spotlight, they both believe they are underrated and can achieve much more. By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

When the 2002 NCAA Cross Country Championships take place in Terre Haute, Ind. at the end of November, both the men’s and women’s squads plan to be a part of the elite 31-team field competing for the national crown. Although the women’s squad missed out on an NCAA championship bid last year, the 2002 Blue Devil runners look to be by far the strongest that six-year head coach Jan Ogilvie has ever fielded. “We’re really, really looking forward to this season,” Ogilvie said. ‘We could certainly be ranked in the top 15.” After losing only one oftheir top-seven runners at the end of last season, the Blue Devils certainly have reason to be optimistic. Duke nabbed one of the strongest recruiting classes in the nation, featuring six freshmen with phenomenal pre-collegiate resumes. Clara Horowitz, Sally Meyerhoff and Laura Stanley all participated in the Foot Locker National Cross Country Championships, the most prestigious high school competition in the nation. Stanely earned first-team high school All-America honors with her fifth place finish in 2001, while Meyerhoff finished 12th to earn a spot on the third-team roster. Other members of the Blue Devils’ stellar freshman class include Caroline Bierbaum, a New England prepschool standout, Shannon Rowbury, a national champion in the 800 event, and Elizabeth Wort, one of the top runners in New Jersey. “This is by far our strongest freshman class ever,” Ogilvie said. “We are extremely young, and how our freshmen take to the academic schedule here will be important.” The Blue Devils also feature a strong group of sophomores, highlighted by last year’s top runners Paige Miller and Paris Edwards, as well as solid contributors Pheobe Ko and Meaghan Leon. Perhaps the most significant boost to the women’s squad, though, is the return of red shirt junior Sheela Agrawal. Agrawal, a three-time All American at Duke, was forced to red-shirt last year due to persistent health problems, but now she looks to return stronger than ever with two years of college eligibility remaining. “I’m pretty optimistic about the season,” the Swansea, Mass., native said. “I just have to train smarter and recover fully on easy days.” While the women’s team seems poised to make a major dent on the national scene, the men’s squad hopes to build on last year’s 14th place finish at the NCAA championships and prove that it’s preseason ranking of No. 20 is too low. “This is the highest preseason ranking that we’ve ever had,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “But the guys think we’re better than 20, so that gives us extra motivation.” Senior captain Jared Moore, junior Chris Williams and sophomore Michael Hatch earned All-Southeast Region honors in 2001. Williams, Duke’s top returnee, finished sixth at the regional race and looks to be one of the strongest competitors again in 2002. In addition, Ogilvie expects sophomore Nick Schneider, who struggled with injuries during part of the 2001 season, to be one of the team’s top runners. “Chris, Michael, Jared and Nick are a very strong top four,” Norm Ogilvie said. “The main question now is, who will be the fifth man?” Because team results are calculated based on the topfive finishers, he realizes the importance of having a strong fifth man and is excited by the competition on the team for that spot. “It’s great to have guys battling in the first two weeks of practice,” he said. If the Blue Devils are able to stay healthy throughout the season, they should be one of the top teams in the ACC. Only N.C. State, ranked seventh in the country, appears to be a major threat. The first important race for the Blue Devils comes

at the end of September at the Great American Cross Country Festival in Charlotte where they will compete against many nationally ranked teams.
