Duke releases football goals By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

THE DEVIL’S DEN on Central Campus is now under the management ofStudent Affairs, and its space will be offered free to students and other groups.

Devil’s Den begins offering free usage By ANDREW TODD The Chronicle

Central Campus’ Devil’s Den has entered its newest incarnation—as a multipurpose center run by Student Affairs. The Oregon Street building, formerly managed by Auxiliary Services, will now be- available for free use by students and other groups through the Event Advising Center, although it is uncertain whether the venue has begun attracting more groups. Previously, using the building cost $375 per event. “[The change in management] sends a message that [it]

is primarily for students,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs. Moneta compared his vision for the new Devil’s Den to the role of the Bryan Center or West Union Building on West Campus. He emphasized that he wants to make sure anyone is able to “drop in” dining the day. Although the football and lacrosse teams still hold their training table meals there, the location can be reserved by other groups. Student groups will have priority, Moneta said. See DEVIL’S DEN on page 8

Despite two early-season victories that restored some respectability to a beleaguered football team, the University released a mission statement last week proposing new methods of attracting top talent. The statement, titled “Rebuilding Duke Football” and authored by Director of Athletics Joe Alieva, calls for more flexibility in player admissions, salary hikes for coaches, improved facilities and a stronger support staff. “Obviously our record over the last few years and over the last 20 to 30 years inspired us to try to do something to make the program better,” Alieva said. “Our goal is to be competitive in the [Atlantic Coast Conference] and ultimately competitive for the ACC title.... Becoming bowl-eligible would be nice too.” The most significant of the changes calls for a more flexible admissions policy in which the football program could pursue recruits with “a range of high school grade point averages and SAT scores.” Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Gut-

tentag said his office will not lower standards when considering admission.

HEAD COACH CARL FRANKS exhibits the new Yoh Football Center to reporters earlier this year. The center is one attempt to improve Duke’s football standing. “There may be some change in the distribution of players throughout therange, but it will depend on who is recruited, who accepts a scholarship and how

individual students are evaluated in the admissions process,” Guttentag wrote in an e-mail. Alieva noted that the program is not asking for a lower GPA and SAT range from which players are admitted, but a greater number at the lower end

of the scale for the 15 to 25 players recruited each year. “The preponderance of our competition in football will take the NCAA minimum to admit a kid to a school,” Alieva said. “We’re not even talking about going down there. We want kids that can do the work and graduate from Duke University.” President Nan Keohane said See FOOTBALL on page 8

acquits State views body challenges image Artist hospital of earlier flaws By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

Students walking by Von Canon A Monday may have done a double-take upon noticing Larry Kirkwood’s display of 22 body casts, created to encourage viewers to reflect on issues of body image, racism, sexism and ageism. Kirkwood gave two presentations Monday on how the casts shed light on problems ofthe beauty industry and the influence of corporate America on consumers. The exhibit has been displayed at over 60 academic institutions across the country. The presentations included an extensive examination ofreality as it pertains to self-image, and how reality is defined by individuals and society. “If the image is right, reality doesn’t matter and image becomes reality,” Kirkwood told an audience of students and community members. “Our culture is obsessed with ap-

pearances.” Kirkwood’s models ranged from a wide spectrum of height and weight, and he has completed 344 body casts to date. KirkSee BODY IMAGES on page 8

For the second time this year, the state Division of Facility Services cleared Durham Regional Hospital of quality violations that threatened the hospital’s fed-

eral Medicare and Medicaid support. A surprise survey conducted Aug. 6 to 9 found several breaches of federal standards at the hospital, including misman-

agement of a dialysis service provided by an outside contractor and improper nursing care. If left uncorrected, the citations would have disallowed Durham Regional—which is run by Duke University

Inspectors negotiate terms with Hussein

By WILLIAM KOLE The Associated Press VIENNA, Austria UN. weapons inspectors demanded the right to roam freely around Saddam Hussein’s palaces and other sites when they opened talks Monday on the logistics of a possible return to Baghdad. Chief inspector Hans Blix, who led the closed-door meetings with an Iraqi delegation, said the inspectors were operating under the assumption they would be able to go anywhere, anytime if they return to Iraq for a fresh assessment ofthe country’s nuclear, biological and chemical programs. The dispute came to a head after the George W. Bush administration repeatedly accused Iraq of blatantly violating UN. resolutions requiring Baghdad to disarm. Washington threatened to unilaterally remove Hussein from power because more than a decade of international pressure failed to win Iraqi compliance.

When President Bush made a plea for tougher UN. action at the General Assembly last month, Hussein switched course and pledged unconditional access to sites across Iraq. But in recent days, Baghdad rejected new UN. resolutions to broaden and toughen the inspection regime. Iraqi resistance has thrown into question whether the eight sprawling presidential palaces—until now off-limits to surprise visits would be open to renewed inspections. “We’re telling the Iraqis we don’t want any limitations on our access,” a senior diplomat close to the talks said on condition of anonymity. The issue of palace inspections and some other contentious matters would require amending the most recent U.N.-Iraq agreement on inspections. While the Vienna meetings have addressed those topics, a decision on changing the sanctions regime would have to be made by the UN. Security Council once Blix reports back Thursday.

Promoting a sense of community between three distinct groups can be a daunting task, but one which University officials hope has been achieved by the year-old Trinity Heights housing development. In an attempt to provide stability for communities surrounding Duke as well as a medium for student, staff and local interaction, University officials conceived the idea of Trinity Heights in the late 19905. The development is made up of 40 units located off East Campus, and all of the Trinity Heights homes must be inhabited by Duke employees. A current member of the neighborhood, Associate Professor of Biology John Willis, conveyed enthusiasm about the project. “It’s a great place to live. The houses are well built, it’s convenient, and there is a growing sense of community,” he said. The homes are new, but in an attempt to preserve the character of the surrounding Walltown neighborhood, they mimic the classic style of past Walltown buildings. Trinity Heights’ structures include large windows, quaint porches and landscaping that allow them to fit in well with neighboring homes. The development is a stark contrast to the land’s prior usage. Jeffrey Potter, director ofreal estate administration, explained that most of the land on which Trinity Heights now rests has been undeveloped for many years. “People had been telling us for years to give it away or make a park. They wanted us to do something,” he said. The result of these requests and the desire to help develop the surrounding community led to the concept of Trinity Heights. Ellen Davis, associate .professor in the Divinity School and a Trinity Heights resident, said she is pleased with what the development has brought to the

From proposing half-credits for labs

to organizing canned food drives, Duke Student Government vice presidents each have plans this year for making DSG more visible to the University. As DSG legislators begin more committee-oriented work rather than individual projects this semester, the four vice presidents may have more opportunity this year to implement their ideas through their respective committees.

Academic Affairs Lyndsay Beal, vice president for ac-

ademic affairs and a senior, said she wants to focus on permanently instituting course evaluations—specifically, the Student Accessible Course Evaluation System—and getting halfcredits for time that students spend in science labs. “Right now, [SAGES]... is in trial mode,” Beal said. “The administration and faculty council have approved it basically semester by semester.” However, Beal added, the program will come before the Arts and Sciences Council for final review in November, when the council will vote whether to make SAGES a permanent fixture on

community.

“The fact that people sit on their porches and chat over the back fence or cross the narrow streets to talk, or simply yell across them, distinguishes our neighborhood from many, and the children of University and non-University people seem to be mingling and bringing adults together with increasing frequency,” she said. “We do love this neighborhood.” In addition to the beauty of these homes, some residents are optimistic about the sense of community the development is encouraging. Eric Pritchard, associate professor of the practice of music, agrees that Trinity Heights is contributing to a real sense of community between Duke faculty, other residents and students. “The influx of new residents has sparked the revival of the Trinity Heights Neighborhood Association, which is organizing social and community building events and working to make the area safer together with other grassroots organizations and the city police department,” he said. “Last spring, the association also sponsored a meeting between the members of a local fraternity and their neigh-

ACES Web.

“DSG will probably do a resolution before then, saying that we support this, and then it will come up before them,” she said. “At that point, it’s really kind of its last shot.” Community Interaction Vice President for Community Interaction Thaniyyah Ahmad, a senior, said the major projects her committee

By Kate Stamell The Chronicle Engineers may not recognize the DukEngineer Magazine when it comes out this December. One of

the main avenues ofcommunication for the Duke engineering community, the publication is shifting its format to feature a greater scope of content as well as a redesigned cover and layout. The student-run magazine, now in its 60th year, is published in December and May and reaches more than 3.1,000 readers. The magazines are sent out to engineering alumni and parents, and are distributed to undergraduate students and faculty at the Pratt School of Engineering, The magazine, around 60 pages long, includes faculty research articles and occasional student research stories, supplemented by figures and graphs, as well as human interest profiles of professors. “We try and reach all areas of the [engineering] department,” said Pratt junior Aruna Venkatesan, cosenior editor of the magazine. “Traditionally the magazine has been research oriented. We’re trying to keep that aspect but make it more readable.” Venkatesan and her co-editor, Pratt senior Annie Adams, want to expand the magazine’s mission statement. Currently, its stated goal is to increase the awareness ofwhat is going on in the School of Engineering, including faculty and student research. “We’re trying to gear it more towards student experience,” Venkatesan said. “What’s unique about our

publication is that most engineering schools don’t have a magazine.” Adams said she wants to reach out to a greater audience with the magazine. “We want each issue to be something that is of interest to the experienced, practicing Duke engineering alumni, the young, freshman undergraduate Duke engineer, and even the non-engineer,” Adams said. The addition of more feature articles, such as stories about women in engineering or the robotics club, will increase the magazine’s scope. The December issue will feature the Civil Engineering Conference, describing the concrete canoe competitions from this past spring. Venkatesan noted that the magazine is moving away from resembling an annual report in hopes of pertaining more to Trinity College students. “A lot of the stuff going, on in the engineering school is interesting to Arts and Sciences,” Adams said, The most noticeable difference will be the new cover design of the magazine. Venkatesan said editors have used the same format for 15 years, but that this year she and Adams are redesigning the magazine and adding full color, all of which should be in place for the December issue. Advertisements and the engineering school fund the magazine, and Claire Cusick, newly appointed associate communications director in Pratt, advises the publication. [Cusick] has really brought a new level of involvement, advice-giving and support, that has been

very helpful,” Adams said,

Cusick and other Pratt officials have been offering guidance to the DukEngineer since this past summer. Based on their advice, the co-editors are contemplating a new format for the publication—a later print version in December with an online-only edition in the spring. Venkatesan began working on DukEngineer Magazine as a freshman, “I was really interested in the research of engineering, and I thought it’d be hard to meet the faculty and learn about their research,” she said, “so this is a great way to meet and interview them, I also did it because it’s not too easy with the engineering curriculum to write and work on communication. Engineering is not meaningful if you can’t communicate.” Adams agreed with Venkatesan about the magazine’s application. “Writing research articles on work being done in your major early on really gives you an inside look on the fascinating research being done at Duke,” she said. Another major change in the works is the online archiving of all its back issues. Patrick Chan, a Trinity junior, maintains the magazine’s website and is in charge of designing, uploading and scanning back issues, Jonathan Shih, a Pratt senior, said he thought the magazine was very unique and informative for engineers. “I like the fact that they highlight a lot of research they’re doing so I can see what my peers are up to,” he said.

Youth board to assist City Council By WILL ROSENTHAL The Chronicle

City governments are not generally known for representing the voice of city youth, but a recent proposal approved by the Durham City Council may help change that. At its Sept. 16 meeting, the council voted 7-0 to approve the creation of a Durham Youth Commission. The role of the commission, which will be comprised of 30 minors, will be to advise and assist local elected officials on problems facing youth today. The board will also help young people apply for grants from the city. “I strongly support a youth commission,” said City Council member Howard Clement. “Young people are the leadership of tomorrow, and we need to integrate them. They will get to learn how to operate a city government, and thay need to know why things are the way they are.” The Durham Youth Commission was proposed by Teenagers Politically Active, a local nonprofit organization devoted to social change to benefit Durham youth. TPA was created in January 2001 by 18-year-old Durham resident DeWarren Langley, currently a senior at Jordan High School. Langley first got the idea for TPA on a spring 2000 group trip to Washington, D.C., to speak to North Carolina representatives. The trip was sponsored by the Duke-Durham Partners for Youth program. Later in the year, Langley attended a City Council meeting where city leaders proposed a juvenile curfew. The proposal received staunch support from the audience, and despite being the only minor at the meeting, Langley stood up and voiced his opposition. “Instead of a curfew, I thought the city could offer constructive things for teenagers, like a place for students to hang out during the week and more job opportunities. There are not a lot of jobs for young people in Durham, and money is very important to teenagers,” Langley said. With Langley’s help, the curfew law was repealed on the basis of unconstitutionality the next

month. Inspired by those events, Langley decided it was finally time to create TPA. Langley now hopes the commission could help the city confront some of the biggest issues facing youth today. He cited examples such as the prevalence of gangs and drugs and the lack of employment opportunities. The goal of the commission is not only to give Durham teenagers the opportunity to work with city officials, but also to offer those officials the perspective of some of the younger members of the

community. “I’m 51 years old,” said Mayor Pro Tern Lewis Cheek. “I don’t know very much about what’s going on with teenagers today. Hopefully the commission will be a good source of information for me [and the other members of the council].” Approval by the City Council is only the first step, however. The DYC will go before the Durham County Board of Commissioners for a vote sometime in October. The Durham Board of Education, the third governing body that the commission would assist, has yet to set a date for discussing the proposal. Langley said the school board, with its direct impact on teenagers’ education, has given “the least amount of support, although it is perhaps the most vital [of the three bodies].” Langley said TPA had originally planned to apply for a grant from the Civic Education Consortium, but because the City Council did not approve the commission until Sept. 16, the group did not have time to meet the Sept. 20 grant deadline. A similar commission in Hampton, Va., receives city funding, including an annual $30,000 for a grant program, Hampton Youth Coordinator Alyica Washington said. Because of budget shortfalls in North Carolina, however, Langley said immediate funding from the City Council for the youth commission is unlikely, but he hopes it can win approval at budget hearings next summer.at budget hearings next summer.

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS From staff reports

Founders’ Day events announced The University will hold its annual Founders’ Day Convocation in Duke Chapel Oct. 3, a day before the University’s Board of Trustees conducts its fall meeting. Presided over by President Nan Keohane, the Founders’ Day service will honor outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, employees and alumni. The service begins at 4 p.m. and is open to

the public. William Anlyan, chancellor emeritus of the Duke Medical Center and a trustee of The Duke Endowment, and alumnus John McMahon, chair emeritus of the Duke University Board of Trustees, will receive the University Medal for Distinguished Meritorious Service—the University’s highest award—for their years of service. The convocation address will be given by Robert Connor, president and director of the National Humanities Center since 1989. In addition to awarding the University medals, Keohane will present Duke’s Distinguished Alumni Award to trustee emeritus Edward Benenson. Other awards will be presented to faculty and alumni. Founders’ Day celebrates the founding of the University, and this year will mark the 101st anniversary of the first event honoring the Duke family at this institution. In 1901, when the school was Trinity College, the school held a Benefactors’ Day to pay tribute to Washington Duke.

bors who had been concerned about loud parties.” John Bumess, Duke senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said one ofthe most important goals of the project is to encourage staff to live closer to the University. “We thought it would be useful to attract faculty and staff to live near the campus and participate more fully in the lives of students,” he said. “The project clearly did that.” In addition, Bumess noted that the project has achieved other anticipated goals, such as offering employees housing at an affordable price and having a positive influence on Durham’s tax base. Potter feels that the investment and care with

Relay for Life, an event in which students organize themselves into teams and walk to raise money for cancer research, will take place in the spring. Ahmad said she hopes the event will bring students together for a common cause. “I’m aiming not so much for the money, but for the community aspect of it,” she said.

Facilities and Athletics

Having tackled parking and transportation issues earlier this fall, Vice President for Facilities and Athletics Cliff Davison said his committee will work on two projects—organizing a canned food drive between Thanksgiving and Christmas and initiating Cable 13 coverage of DSG. “It’s kind of like a C-SPAN,” Davison, a junior, said of the latter plan, which sophomore Emily Brady formulated and will chair. “It’s not the most interesting sort of television... but if students want to know what’s going on in DSG they will have access to it.” Other projects Davison plans to work on include implementing an environmental education pro-

gram, making recommendations on the plan to turn the Bryan Center-West Union Building area into a “student village,” and assessing the state of athletic facilities, specifically Brodie Gym.

Student Affairs The student affairs committee will focus on four issues this semester—safety, improvements to the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, social life and increasing administration visibility and accessibility—said Troy Clair, vice president for student affairs. “Overall, I want to help bring student government to the next level... so that we’re leading a practical dialogue that informs decisions that the University is making now,” said Clair, a senior. For safety, Clair said he wants to hold “town hall meetings,” including safety dialogue among students, police and administrators. Clair added that Mary Lou Williams Center improvements will range from updating technology to determining what services the building will provide. Eventually, Clair said, he wants to organize a “Social Life Summit” that would bring together student leaders on campus to discuss social life issues and make recommendations to the administration. “People say ‘Social life died’ or ‘lt’s not what it used to be,”’ Clair said. “We need to figure out, ‘What’s the state of social life at Duke?’”

which the University went about creating these homes has encouraged mvestment by other homeowners in the area. Cecilia Goldman, who has lived in Walltown for 15 years, said Trinity Heights is a welcome addition to the community. “I’m happy to see development going on in this area, and I think that Trinity Heights and its residents are going to add a lot to the character of this neighborhood,” she said. Because of the success of the project, the idea of building a “Trinity Heights II” has not been ruled out, said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. “I’m not sure if we’ll do another one, but given the popularity and quick sell-out of this one, we are looking at the possibility of doing something similar as part of the Central Campus redevelopment,” he said.

Four state officials then conducted a comprehensive survey of the hospital Sept. 20, and found the problems had been corrected. Durham Regional had been given a narrow window for when that follow-up survey would occur, but no specific date. “As a result of the follow-up survey, [Durham Regional! was brought back into compliance.... No new deficiencies were cited during the follow-up survey process,” according to a state report issued to Durham Regional. Durham Regional was similarly cleared of state citations in May, after a March survey found violations offederal quality standards in nursing care. “Obviously we’re very pleased they found us to be in

compliance,” said Katie Galbraith, director of marketing and corporate communications for Durham Regional. “Certainly we felt we had fixed these problems.” Durham Regional administrators now feel the hospital meets all the required state and federal standards, Galbraith noted. “We’re very Confident in the level of care we’re giving to the community,” she send. Galbraith pointed to a number of steps the hospital took in reaction to the violations found by the state. Hospital officials revised the contract for a dialysis service that was cited for lax management in the August survey. “It was revised to demonstrate the current responsibilities of hospital unit and contract staff,” Galbraith said. In addition, the hospital has revised its policy in its post-anesthesia care unit, clarifying how nurses administering pain medication are to differentiate between standing orders and orders directly given by doctors. The hospital is also stressing greater education for nurses and doctors in the proper documentation of wounds and pressure sores, which was the August survey found inadequate. Computer screens are being updated to help nurses document wound care, Galbraith said. Monitoring is also being increased in all the areas with which the state found fault, Galbraith said. She said the state’s survey process exists to improve patient care, and has done so at the hospital. “Surveys like this are becoming more common, and we welcome the feedback from DFS and other regulatory organizations... and we welcome the feedback from our patients,” she said. “We’re always in a continuous improvement process.”

BODY IMAGES from page t wood casts the individual while nude and then paints the cast and displays it from mid-thigh to neck. He does not show the faces to preserve the subject’s sense of anonymity and to discourage viewers from seeing individual models as opposed to the body itself. In this way, Kirkwood hopes to show the similarity of individuals despite differences in race, gender, age and sexuality. “I feel there are more similarities than there are differences [between the sexes],” he said. He added that categorizing people can lead to dehumanization, citing job discrimination as an example. “Lack of equal opportunity is not a woman’s problem, [it is] not a minority’s problem, it is a human problem,” he said. Kirkwood also spoke strongly about the effects of advertising on body image, especially female body image. “Men wear a size of clothing, a woman is a size ofclothing,” he said. Lauren Vincent, a Durham resident, said she thought the presentation expanded audience awareness of problems with body image. “Most of us realize that there are

different social aspects of body image, but [he] opened my eyes to the level of the problem,” she said. First-year clinical psychology graduate student Stephanie Best agreed. “Something like this that sends the message that we all come in all shapes and sizes and that all shapes and sizes are beautiful is so important. There’s not enough of that out there.” There was also a board in Von Canon A where individuals could post their reaction to the prompt “If my body could talk...” Responses ran from “Don’t make me look fat, exercise!” to “Why me?” Organizers were disappointed in the turnout, although those in attendance generally found the presentation enriching. “I was surprised there were not more people,” Best said. “There’s probably a lot of people on campus, particularly young women, who could benefit from hearing that sort of message.” The event was sponsored by the Eating and Body Image Control Network, comprised of the Women’s Center, Counseling and Psychological Services, Educational Support To Eliminate Eating Misconceptions, Duke Student Health Service and Panhellenic Council. is that they could add a water fountain,” he added

“The space will be heavily in demand on weekends,” predicted Rick Gardner, senior coordinator at the Event

Advising Center. Joe Pietrantoni, associate vice president for auxiliary services, said his division left only two pool tables in the building, but that the full commercial kitchen accompanying the space will still be available through Auxiliary Services. That division will handle the Den’s on-site cooking in order to preserve the University’s A-rated health code for anything less than casual refreshments. “If you want tea and crumpets [at your event,l fine,” Pietrantoni said. “You can bring those yourself.” Gardner said Student Affairs will pay this year for setup and cleaning fees, which in part contributed to the space’s high fee last year. Catering will cost extra, and groups will need to pay a refundable $l5O damage deposit. Users must follow the same University alcohol policy &s at other campus social areas. Several groups have already signed up to use the space, many of whom rented the Devil’s Den last year. Zeta Phi Beta sorority held a dance party there last Saturday night, and Gardner said that both Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and Central Campus Council plan on holding events there in the future. Senior Cyril Broderick, Kappa Alpha Psi president, said his fraternity liked the Den because it was separate from residential areas. “You don’t have to worry about making too much noise. It’s a neat little place,” he said, noting that although the group has held events at the Devil’s Den before, the lower cost will encourage them to use it more. “Our only request

Graduate and Professional Student Council leaders said they will also continue to hold events there, such as hosting a dance or televising a basketball game. “A lot of people can do different things at the same time and still feel like part of the same event,” said Tobin Freid, GPSC student life committee co-chair. “There’s not any other space large enough on campus.” The remote locale, however, remains a drawback for some users. “One ofthe only disadvantages is location,” Freid added. “There’s not a lot of parking, but that hasn’t deterred people from coming.” Sophomore David Johnson, a Kappa Alpha Order fraternity social leader, said it is much easier to transport people to events near East Campus or on West Campus. Broderick said Kappa Alpha Psi faced some ofthe same problems, but was still able to attract a large turnout by organizing rides beforehand. The building is well off the East-West-Central bus line, a problem that Pietrantoni said the school tried to address years ago. ‘We kept hearing, ‘Location, location, location,”’ he said. He added that directing the bus route closer to the building and adding street lights nearby did nothing to increase attendance. The Devil’s Den returned last year to its original use after more than ten years of failed attempts at creating a popular bar or restaurant there. Built during the first enhancement of Central Campus 30 years ago, it was designated as only the “Multipurpose Building” for many years. During the 1980s, a small group of students helped start a bar and restaurant called “Kudzu” in the space. After they graduated, creating the Devil’s Den became current Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst’s first major project.

she felt the adjustment would not negatively affect the University’s academic integrity. “[The policyl allows for more scope to be given to supporting a particular sport at a particular time in the University’s history—at this point, football—to meet institutional priorities,” Keohane said. “This doesn’t mean lowering standards, but giving more leeway to the coaches and [Office of Undergraduate] Admissions to admit a few more students who meet the existing standards and are given an extra edge for their skills in football.” Although the football mission statement is the first of its kind in recent memory, Keohane said it is part of a larger review of athletics that the University is undertaking with the Board of Trustees. A strategic plan and overall mission statement for athletics is expected by the spring. The football statement also calls for increased participation in the recruiting process by other members of the University—as long as their support falls within NCAA regulations. “An alumnus in California can call us and tell us, ‘Hey, there’s a great player out here that you should take a look at,”’ Alieva said. “The president and faculty members can talk to recruits when they come on campus and show recruits that the institution is behind

this program.” The other major component of the mission statement is a commitment to increase salaries for the head and assistant coaches. “Our head football coach... is currently paid less thar> the average salary for Division I head coaches,” the statement reads. “In addition, last year’s total compensation for Duke’s assistant coaches was only about 80 percent of the average total compensation for assistant coaching staffs in the ACC.” To correct this, program officials recently increased the salary level for new assistant coaches, and they have now pledged to adjust the head coach’s salary accordingly as he experiences success. Alieva declined to give specifics on the increases, but added that the level of success will be determined by a number of factors, with victories foremost among them. The team snapped a 23-game losing streak in its season-opener and now have a 2-3 record. “The mission is long-term, these [recent] wins are short-term,” Alieva said. “We are getting better.”

The two other parts of the plan—providing adequate facilities and strong support personnel—have already manifested themselves in this fall’s Yoh Football Center opening and the hiring offive new assistants in the past five years. “The player area portion is as fine as any player’s facility in the country,” Alieva said of the new center, which will be officially dedicated Friday night.

Franks: ‘Everything’s a lot better in life’ after win By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

Coming off a 43-17 win against Navy, a

happier, more relaxed head football coach Carl Franks spoke confidently about his team Monday, saying that having two wins after five games as opposed to zero as in the last two seasons makes a “world of difference” on the team’s outlook. “There’s not any better feeling in the world Saturday night and Sunday after a win,” Franks said. “Everything’s a lot better in life. We all feel better about going out to practice.” Franks said the Blue Devils will continue to play star linebacker Ryan Fowler at outside linebacker. Fowler had a very successful season at the outside position last year, but was moved inside in the preseason to add quickness to the defense. Franks was confident in the move of Fowler to the inside after the Northwestern game, but has since changed his mind. “I think [the move] would help him a

little bit,” Franks said. “It will also allow us to get Jim Scharrer in the game a little more. We try to get the guys who are playing best on the field.” Duke is hoping to use its confidence to defeatVirginia—a team that defeated Wake Forest 38-34 last week—this Saturday. Franks said both teams have players with limited experience at important positions. He also said he feels that experience will not be a problem this week because his young team is gaining confidence with each game. “Our freshmen have played pretty

well,” Franks said. “You’ve got to go out there and make mistakes and experience game speed. I think we are a simi-

lar team [to Virginia] in that we play a lot of young guys. We’ve got a lot of people back—though they’re just not neces-

sarily seniors.” The Blue Devil’s weak secondary was given a break against Navy’s option, but this will not be the case against Virginia. Cavalier quarterback Matt Schaub has emerged as a star, leading the ACC in completion percentage at an outstanding 71.5 percent. Franks said he is worried how his weak defensive backfield will deal with the prowess of Schaub and All-American candidate wide receiver Billy McMullen. “What we haven’t done very well is defend the pass,” Franks said. “That’s going to be an interesting part of the football game. We’re going to have to score some points.” Franks said the improvement of his football team comes from varied sources. “There’s a difference in a lot of areas,” he said. “We had seven interceptions [on defense] last year. We have eight now. Our turnover margin is a lot better than last year’s. We’re much better running the ball. You can look at a lot of statistics and see improvement.” Franks, who admits still being disappointed with the loss to Northwestern, said his team hopes to make up for it against Virginia. He plans on using a variety of offensive patterns against Virginia’s solid defense. “We’re going to try to confuse them offensively,” Franks said.

Smith takes Flight B, wins Ist collegiate tournament By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

In her first career collegiate tourna-

ment, Julia Smith won the Flight B sin-

gles title of the Adidas Invitational with a victory over teammate Prim Siripipat. The freshman defeated the senior, 6-2, 6-1, in the finals. Siripipat was plagued by knee troubles that started in her first match of the weekend. She defeated teammate Hillary Adams in the semifinals. The tournament, held in Peachtree City, Ga., was the first action of the season for eight players on the women’s tennis team.. “I played really well,” Smith said. “I normally would not beat her so easily, but I just didn’t let her play well. In my first match, I was not so great, but I got

better as the weekend progressed.” the No. 12 player nationally exemplified Head coach Jamie Ashworth said she Duke’s depth this year. was pleased with the freshman’s play, as “That was the best win of the weekit was the first time he had ever seen end,” Ashworth said. “One thing we learned was that our team has a lot of her in action on a college court. “It was a new experience for her in a depth.

Yani wins all-Duke final at Adidas Invitational By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

Men’s tennis head coach Jay Lapidus sat back and enjoyed a well-played and closely contested championship match between two members of the men’s tennis team Monday. Senior Michael Yani defeated freshmen Ludovic Walter 6-3, 7-5 in the finals of the Adidas

Inivitational. “It is tough to go into a competitive atmosphere against a friend,” Yani said. “We played a tough, hard match, and I just got a little lucky in the end.” The pivotal moment in the championship match occurred when Walter was serving at 5-5 in the second set after

Yani had secured the first. With Walter in position to hit a volley, Yani smashed a passing shot that skimmed off the top of the net and jumped over Walter’s racket. Yani proceeded to break Walter and serve out the match. “Mike played really well the whole weekend,” Lapidus said. “He was very relaxed. He was the No. 1 seed, which can bring a lot of pressure, but he handled it well.” This weekend’s tournament was the first for Yani since the NCAAs last spring. “I was a little rusty during my first match but I got back into the rhythm,” he said. “In the first two matches my return was a little off but by the semis and the

finals my timing on my return and serve starting clicking. It was a really good weekend finding my game again.” Lapidus noticed a new maturity in Yani’s game—which in previous seasons had relied on power, but now mixes strength with control and finesse. Lapidus was also very encouraged by Walter’s play. He thought Walter may have been tired for the final after playing four matches the previous day, beating two ranked players in the process. “He is going to be a great one for us and a big factor this year,” Lapidus said. “Besides a big serve and a booming forehand, he fights well on the court and is mentally very strong.”

In other singles action, Jason Zimmerman and Peter Shults both reached the quarterfinals, with Shults falling to Walter. The successful weekend was not limited to the singles play as Jonathan Stokke and Zimmermann reached the finals of the doubles draw before falling in a close contest to a Northwestern team. The Duke teammates had a 5-1 lead in an eight-game proset when, Lapidus said the Northwestern squad came on strong after Stokke and Zimmermann let up a bit. Lapidus was disappointed that the team was unable to pull out the victory but was still impressed with its overall play.

The Chronicle

Women’s golf finishes 2nd at ACC/SEC Challenge By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle Playing in its second tournament of the fall, the defending national champion women’s golf team shot a final day 303 to finish second over the weekend at the ACC/SEC Challenge at Raven Golf Course in Destin, Fla. “As far as scores go, I’m not too happy,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “Anytime we shoot over 300 in a round in a tournament I’m not going to be happy. But as far as intangibles go, I’m feeling good.” The Blue Devils, who finished at 893—six strokes behind tournament winner Auburn—were led by Liz Janangelo. The freshman finished tied for second overall with a score of 217, three stokes behind Diana Ramage of Auburn who nabbed individual honors. Janangelo began the weekend with a nine-birdie 67 —a fairly remarkable score for someone who did not have a chance to get in a practice round and had never played the course before—and followed it up with a 72. However, she fell

apart, and down to second place after shooting a 78 on the final day. Kristina Engstrom finished second for the Blue Devils, shooting a 223 that tied her for 12th place overall. Nilfour Aazam-Zanganeh followed with a 20thplace 225, while Leigh Anne Hardin and Maria Garcia-Estrada rounded out

KRISTINA ENGSTROM shot a 71 Sunday despite not hitting any solid shots

the Blue Devils’ pack shooting 228 and 262 and placing 30th and 67th in the field respectively. “We had a lot of distractions in the month of September, and there was a lot of time taken away,” Brooks said, adding that he did not think a winless first month was cause for his team to worry. “We just need some time to settle in.” After winning all of their spring tournaments last season, Duke has yet to emerge victorious this fall. However, Brooks said he is not worried about his team, and pointed to the fact he thought the Blue Devils had a great fall last season despite only winning once. “Engstrom didn’t hit the ball well—she said she had no solid shots this weekend—and she still shot a 71,” he said. “So that tells you a lot about where she is right now.” The Blue Devils continue their fall season when they play the Tar Heel Invitational at Finley Golf Course Oct. 46 in Chapel Hill.

ROBERT TAI/THE CHRONICLE

MISTIE BASS will give Duke more size and rebounding in the paint, and hopes to start during the season

BASS from page 9 Bass said she feels that speed is her main weakness

and that she will spend the preseason working on con-

ditioning in order to increase her endurance and quickness in getting down the court. Mistie’s main goal for the season is becoming a starter. “I would really like to start,” Bass said. “I would like to be a key part of this team and bring my game to the court every day and have that sense of stability. Hopefully my teammates will have the confidence in me that they want me on the court.” Hailing from Janesville, Wis., Bass led her high school team, Parker, to state championships in 2000 and 2001. She attributes her basketball success to all of her coaches, having had the same group throughout her career. Bass first picked up a basketball in the fifth grade, when one ofher teachers asked if she played the game. Bass, who at the time was not involved in any sports, replied that she did not really know what basketball was. Her teacher signed her up for a club traveling team and she ended up playing with that same group of girls all throughout high school. One of her greatest on-court moments came during her freshman year of high school in the game

that would earn her school a conference co-champion title. Bass scored 41 points and her shot at the buzzer sent the game to overtime, leading Parker to a one-point victory. That was probably the best moment ever,” she said “It was one thing I will never forget.” Bass has earned Miss Wisconsin Basketball honors three consecutive years and was selected first team USA Today All-America. In high school, she had a career 1,906 points and 1,173 rebounds. She was also selected first team All-State her senior year and played for USA Basketball, where she met

current teammates Whitley, Alana Beard and Monique Currie. Bass’ array of honors also includes MVP at the AAU 17-&-under Tournament and two-time Gatorade and Associated Press Wisconsin Player of the Year. The three-time USA Today Wisconsin Player of the Year is aware that there are high expectations on the team this year, especially after being ranked No. 1 nationally in the preseason by a number of magazines. “Being a newcomer and seeing what they accomplished last year with only eight players, I can see the fact that there are pressures, but I have not felt any yet,” she said. “To me, it’s exciting. It’s something to work for.”

The Chronicle

14 � TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1 2002

The Chronicle D.C. protests ineffective the past several days, Washington has hosted the annual meeting ofthe World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. As usual, anti-globalization protesters mobilized opposition to these organizations. In stark contrast to protests in April 2000 and in Seattle, these protesters were largely ineffectual and were shut down by a strong security contingent of Washington police. Thankfully, this round of protests did not evolve into a violent raucous like past protests have. Although the validity of the protester complaints is suspect, the main problem with these types of protests in general is the violence they result in. The First Amendment clearly protects the rights of individuals to free speech and to freedom of assembly. However, these freedoms are predicated on the notions that any protests will be carried out in a nonviolent way. In order for freedoms to remain, dissenters must conduct their protests in an appropriate way. Protesters can make their voice heard without using force and causing damage. Ultimately, by resorting to violent tactics, protesters are crippling their own cause. However, the protesters’ cause is less than clear: They give a laundry-list of problems with the world, but do not offer any solutions. Moreover, protesters villanize corporations, supranational organizations and globalization without engaging in constructive debate about these issues, providing intellectual justifications for their beliefs or giving any reasonable alternatives to what they protest. Standing out in the street with a sign, harassing member of the IMF or the WTO, or burning representations of corporate America in effigy may serve to bring protesters media attention, but they do nothing to contribute to discussion of the very real problems facing the world today. Conversely, the very organizations the protesters are opposed to, the WTO and the IMF, are at least trying to provide solutions to the problems of the developing world. First off, for the developing world, globalization and increased free trade, including the flow of technology and ideas from developed to less developed countries, provides the greatest mechanism for economic betterment in the third-world. While there are undeniably losers from free trade, these are primarily in the less developed world and waning industries. Overall, free trade makes all countries better off and specifically improves the lives of workers in the less-developed world. Second, by providing loans to the less-developed world, the IMF is at least trying to give them a leg-up and a chance to better themselves. Protesters might have a valid argument that these non-govemmental organizations and the Western world should forgive part or all of the third-world debts, it is also an imperative that the Western world excersice control over fiiture loans and grants to ensure that these monies do not go solely for the purpose of lining the pockets of dictators. Ultimately, the greater interconnectedness and interdependence between countries is an inevitable reality in the 21st century, to become more pronounced in the future. Protesters demanding an anachronistic return to isolationism or unrealistic demands against the Western world are destroying their own cause, as are those protesters who use violence to argue their case. In order to effect positive change for the developing world, protesters should re-examine their position and their methods and rearticulate what they stand for and the justification behind their beliefs.

Letters to the editor

Column ignores consequences of war on humanity I take moral and practi-

cal exception to Nathan Carleton’s column favoring war against Iraq. Each American bomb that explodes in the Middle East reduces our domestic security. Each destroyed home, each incinerated child, each decapitated head, each eviscerated belly and each flaming limb bears sickly fruit—more terrorists. Human life is not to an expendable triviality, as the manly warriors would have us believe, simply because it exists in distant poverty, wrapped with dark skin and theocracy.

President George W. bellicose attitude

Bush’s

But, he forgets the principle behind this attitude. Countries can identify “security threats” unilaterally, and then engage in “pre-emptive self-defense” with impunity. Somehow, I think the United States would object to the universal practice of this doctrine. Finally, there are more paciflstic socialists scampering about, opposing the war, than right-wing nabobs suppose, voices that shall not cease venturing the unpatriotic cry: “Life is sacrosanct.”

toward Iraq and the world at large, Europe included, is an attempt to keep attention away from his woeful domestic incompetence, environmental perversity and shady corporate dealings. This shows his vain ultimate goal of trading human life, American and Iraqi, for improved Republican performance at the polls this coming November. Carleton says Americans have to a “duty” to “eliminate the security threat Iraq poses and should not refrain from carrying it out because a bunch of socialists who are generally afraid to act until it’s too late don’t want us to.”

Biased editorial unfairly targets Dole supporters In the staff editorial in last Friday’s paper, The Chronicle demonized various Duke employees for having a reception in sup-

port of Elizabeth Dole for U.S. Senate candidacy. The characterization that these people are trying to somehow hijack the University’s support are ludicrous. The statement, “With Coach K’s name on the reception, the impression is immediately given that the University itself sponsored the event” is founded in pure political bias. Coach Krzyzewski puts his name on events he feels are important, and he should have the right to do so. No one at The Chronicle called him out for supporting the David Deutsch Rory Foundation in Chicago. But

Religious people need to think and question beliefs I applaud the columns in Wednesday’s edition of the

The Chronicle: “Qur’anic Questions” by Bala Ambati

and “The joys of thought” by Chandra Jacobs. As an atheist in an overwhelmingly religious society, it makes me feel good when I hear someone suggest that people need to learn how to think, not what to think. Ambati provided excellent fuel for thought with his slavery example from two popular religious texts. While some followers may

not appreciate his mentioning that such passages even exist, they are part of the whole text that many call their handbook for living. This is where the thinking part comes in, for I ask three questions: “How do you determine which handbook passages to follow and which to ignore?”, “Do you not cheat on your partner because you love that person or because a book tells you not to?” and finally “What mental filter do you use to distinguish between

ancient wisdom and ancient stupidity?” If book-followers can start by asking themselves these questions and then follow them up with intellectually honest answers, this is the beginning of the coveted thought process spoken so highly of by these two writers, the process that has the power to free one’s mind from the shackles of dogma.

Whatever wide road all shuffling down in large academic herd, it is that has both promising and ominous ends. Financially Psychologically, doom.

Germany’s declaration of independence Chancellor Gerhard Schroder justified in standing up to President Bush and opposing Germany’s support of Iraq war Not since Bill Clinton snubbed Newt Gingrich on Air Force One has a sitting U.S. president demonstrated the kind of petty vindictiveness that George W. Bush showed after the re-election of Chancellor Gerhard Schroder in Germany. Bush has acted much like a second-grader who got even following a fight with his erstwhile best friend by refusing to attend his birthday party. To our president, and to his aides who fumed over the “poisoned relationship” between the two nations, I can say only one thing: Get over it. Whatever one may think of Schroder he has every right to run Germany’s foreign policy without ,

kowtowing to Washington, Brussels Pavel or any other powers that be. Over Molchanov the last month, he exercised this right by firmly rejecting participation in the war on Iraq.

That the White House is upset other means about this is understandable, but to suggest that Schroder’s actions have been dishonorable or improper verges on the absurd. A few questions may shed some light on the degree of this absurdity. First, does Germany (or any other U.S. ally) possess an obligation—legal, political or moral—to support Washington’s position in all circumstances? To put it less diplomatically, does the Bush administration actually believe that it should manage the foreign affairs of another sovereign state? According to treaty, the only mandate Germany has is to defend its allies against foreign aggression. This it has done over the last year, perhaps less conscientiously than it could have, but certainly no worse than any other NATO member. Twelve German ships and hundreds of troops have been supporting U.S. operations in Afghanistan—the first time in the postwar era that its forces have seen combat outside Europe. On the other hand, war with

Iraq clearly does not fall under the NATO charter, comes to challenging the U.S. on a major policy issue? and even if the U.N. decided to authorize the use of The last time I checked, only Britain and Israel were in favor of a war with Iraq. (Oh yes, and also the Federated force, Germany would have the right to opt out. A moral argument has also been advanced that States of Micronesia.) This means, of course, that 18 out makes Germany’s compliance with whatever of 19 NATO members share the German government’s Washington says a kind of grateful payback for the view that the idea is fundamentally flawed. Perhaps what got Bush so irked was Schroder’s striMarshall Plan and defense during the Cold War. dently a debt to the anti-American rhetoric during the campaign.

It is unreaWashington’s unilateralist tendencies. And the way sonable to expect him to do even more. Second, has the United States supported its allies things are going, he will assuredly not be the last. Germany is one of the most pro-American countries when they pursued a foreign policy objective opposed by the White House? The United States did not back anywhere, and it is by far the most Americanized part up Spain when it nearly went to war over an island of Europe.

Neither did it applaud when summers there, and I can say from experience that a Britain and France came close to starting World War person from this side of the Atlantic feels more at 111 over the Suez Canal. In these cases, and in many home in Germany than anywhere else in continental others, the United States either quietly stood aside or Europe. The admiration Germans feel for Americans is staggering when compared to the visceral anticriticized its allies.
