The men’s basketball team left Raleigh-Durham International Airport Friday afternoon, heading across the Atlantic Ocean to compete Sunday and Monday in the International Challenge Series at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in London. After playing four games in two days against three different European club teams, the Blue Devils had compiled a 3-1 record, gained valuable experience—particularly their freshmen—and grown together as a team. “We had a young group and it was challenging,” junior captain Chris Duhon said. “Just our style of play, up and down for two days—guys stuck it out and I think we showed a lot ofheart.” In a grueling two-day stretch, the Blue Devils played four games: two in the afternoon and two at night. Each game was played according to International Basketball Federation rules, and consisted

offour 10-minute quarters. Duke played the London Towers in both night matches, winning the second 89-70 after losing the first 94-84. Sunday afternoon, the Blue Devils beat Racing Basket Antwerpen 96-71, and Monday afternoon, they took out the Brighton Bears 93-85. “As far as the team goes, we got a lot out of [the trip],” sophomore guard Daniel Ewing said. “We leafned some things about ourselves—things you can’t tell in practice, like playing under pressure and how to come back.” In Game Four, for the first time all tournament, Duke came out strong as it closed out the road trip with a 89-70 victory over the London Towers. Playing their fourth game in less than 48 hours, the Blue Devils gave up the first points—a threepointer to Towers forward Chad Wilkerson—before going on a 9-0 run that was capped off by a freshman tandem alley-oop from Sean Dockery to Michael Thompson.

Several MBA programs at the Fuqua School of Business were ranked in the top 10 in three independent surveys released last week. Duke fell four spots to ninth in BusinessWeek’s rankings of United Statesbased daytime MBA programs, but leapfrogged from No. 21 to No. 6 in the Financial Times’s ratings of top international executive MBA programs. In addition, The Economist magazine’s sister company for data analysis, The Economist Intelligence Unit, ranked Fuqua third in the world, behind Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business. “Looking at all three, we are celebrating but also trying to not blow these rankings out of their proper proportion,” Fuqua Dean Douglas Breeden wrote in an e-mail to the Fuqua community. “It is good news, but we have to continue our drive to improve across many areas.” See FUQUA RANKINGS on page 6

JAKARTA, Indonesia The United States repeatedly warned the Indonesian government in the weeks before the bomb blast that killed more than 180 people in Bali that a group linked to al Qaeda was planning attacks to kill Americans and other Westerners, George W. Bush administration officials said Tuesday. The American ambassador, Ralph Boyce, delivered the latest warning to Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri and her top advisers just a day before the bombing and had given her a deadline of Oct. 24 to act, the officials said. The various warnings contained no details about where and when attacks might occur, they said. But Washington took the likelihood of an attack seriously,

Innocence Proj ect readies for Ist case Wannamaker

bathroom locks change

� The three-year-old law school program, which gives legal advice to death row inmates, hopes to have its first court case this year. By JENNIFER HASVOLD

From staff reports The locks of all Wannamaker Dormitory bathrooms have been changed and all other dorm bathroom locks should follow this week, following an Oct. 16 incident in which a man waiting inside a second-floor Wannamaker bathroom reportedly attacked and sexually assaulted a female resident. Officials said the new locks—specific to gender—mean more security than the current system, in which the residents of some dorms can use their keys to unlock all of the dorms’ bath-

The Chronicle

As advancements in DNA forensic techniques cause the. nation to examine the accuracy and equity of its courts, some students at the School ofLaw are taking an active role in rectifying the shortcomings of the judicial system and may see their first case taken up in court this year. The Duke Innocence Project, now in its third year, uses the law school’s student and faculty resources to review the cases of prisoners who feel they have been wrongly convicted. The project is affiliated with the North Carolina Center for Actual Innocence, a collaborative regional effort between the law schools of Duke and the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill as well as UNC’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The Duke project, under the direction of program advisor James Coleman, senior associate dean of the law school, receives approximately 10 to 15 letters weekly requesting legal assistance. “Honestly I’ve read so many cases in the past year that any number of them could make a pretty good movie,” said Walter Buzetta, a second-year law student and senior case manager for the program. “Unfortunately we’re not necessarily looking for every case of innocence; we’re looking for the best one.” The Duke Innocence Project has accepted eight cases for active investigation to date, one of which is expected to go to court sometime this academic year and will represent the first case brought to court by the North Carolina Center for Actual Innocence. The case concerns the murder of a convenience store owner in eastern North Carolina in 1976 where a local mechanic, 38 years old at the time and a father of seven, was accused of shooting the owner with a shotgun. Investigators

found a spent shotgun shell in his car the day of the murder, but North Carolina’s current medical examiner has since determined that the victim was in fact killed with a handgun, not a shotgun, implying the mechanic’s innocence. “It’s just amazing how many things could go wrong and how often that happens,” said third-year law student Kendra Montgomery-Blinn, former student director ofthe Duke Innocence Pro-

ject. “It’s disappointing because you want to have faith in the legal system, but it’s also motivating because you don’t want it to be that way.” An exoneration of the mechanic would be a benchmark achievement for the project and would represent the culmination of over a year of investigation and research. The process is generally slow and deliberate because if new evidence is introduced in the defense of the convicted and the appeal is not granted, it is difficult, if not impossible, to use that evidence in a future appeal, Buzetta explained. The North Carolina Center for Actual

Innocence,.which is currently funded by external donations and modest financial support from Duke and UNC, will likely solicit a local attorney to accept the case on a pro bono basis if it goes to court. Peter Weitzel, founder of the center and former managing editor of The Miami Herald, became interested in criminal justice issues while working at the Herald with Gene Miller, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose work resulted in the release of three individuals who were wrongly convicted. Weitzel also teaches a course at the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communications on investigative journalism. “I saw the work that Gene did and appreciated its importance and uniqueness,” said Weitzel, whose local involvement was spurred by conversations with Coleman, who is also a neighbor. “There is a tremendous inequity in the justice system,” Weitzel said. “If you’ve got the ability and capacity to do something about it, then I think the natural inclination is to step forward and see what you can do.”

The assailant was described as a white man, 18 to 25 years old, between 5’10” and 6’ tall, with a stocky build and longish brown hair. He was wearing a red shirt and jeans. “We continue to follow leads but there has not been an arrest,” said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department.

Diet affects cancer risk in mice

Diet can have a profound impact on the risk of cancer in mice, according to research presented at a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. Adult mice placed on a irregularly varying dieting regimen were found to be less than half as likely to develop breast cancer as mice that dieted all the time. Obesity was also found to vastly increase cancer risk. In addition, young mice that ate a diet rich in an oil commonly found in salmon had much lower rates of breast cancer than mice given a standard diet. •

Center gets close look at human heart By MALAVIKA PRABHII The Chronicle

If a new Medical Center institute can achieve its mission, heart patients will receive more accurate diagnoses that can lead to greater success in treating cardiovascular problems. The Duke Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Center, established last year, uses the diagnostic ability of magnetic resonance imaging technology to specifically focus on heart problems. The only center ofits kind in the nation, the DCMRC took one of its first major steps this summer with the midJuly arrival of a $2.6 million, four-ton MRI scanner in the outpatient clinic of Duke Hospital South. A second scanner should arrive in six to 10 weeks at Duke Hospital North, where it will primarily benefit inpatients. Dr. Pascal Goldschmidt, chair of cardiology at the Medical Center, said he has had a strong interest in cardiac MRIs since he arrived at Duke in 2000, pushing hard in that time to develop diagnostic services beyond those offered by the Duke Heart Center. The Medical Center recruited Goldschmidt from The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, which had an intense program for cardiac MRIs. However, Hopkins’ center solely focused on cardiology. “At Duke, the beauty is that it is multidisciplinary. There is a very im-

portant partnership between cardiology and radiology,” Goldschmidt said, adding that Carl Ravin, chair of radiology, had the foresight to allow the combination of both departments to make the center stronger. Center Co-Director Dr. Raymond Kim, associate professor of cardiology, likened MRI methods to computer hardware and software. He explained that the cardiac MRI center will possess the new scanners and other equipment—the hardware—and that it will focus on specializing use of the equipment—the software—to make it at-

A BEATING HUMAN HEART is videoed using an MRI scanner at the Duke Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Center, the only center of its kind in the nation. tuned to cardiac problems specifically. “Cardiac MRIs are much more demanding because we need speed [to capture] the heart beat,” Kim said. He added that while most MRIs produce still films, the cardiac MRFs output will be more like a motion picture, which will provide functional images of the heart beating. Robert Judd, the respective DCMRC co-director and an associate professor of cardiology, called specializing the MRI equipment among the center’s greatest challenges. By focusing on the

radio frequency and timing of the MRI scanner, researchers could greatly affect the way it reports data and creates images that better reflect a heart’s problems, Judd said. Tuning the MRI goes in tandem with developing how best to interpret the images that the MRI produces, he said. “We need to figure [out the way the MRI is tuned] such that the image answers diagnostic questions,” Judd said. Once he and other researchers are See CARDIAC MRI on page 8

an uncontested election Voting considered a success by Iraqi standards By JOHN BURNS

New York Times News Service

If there is a reliable TIKRIT, Iraq hard core to the support for Saddam Hussein among ordinary Iraqis, it is here on the baking flatlands of north-central Iraq, where Saddam Hussein was bom. So it was no surprise that officials of the Ministry of Information laid on a fleet of buses to bring foreign reporters 110 miles from Baghdad to watch Tikritis voting in a referendum on Hussein’s presidency. Under Iraq’s constitution, the referendum serves as an election, but it has only one candidate—Hussein.

A man seized a reporter’s notebook to write a personal message. “Every ‘yes’ vote is a bullet in the chest ofBush the father and Bush the son,” it said. Voting is compulsory for all Iraqis over 18, and the ballot gives them a choice between ticking a box marked

“yes” and a box marked “no.” Official results are expected Wednesday. Much about the occasion seemed Orwellian, at least to those accustomed to Western-style democracies. In 1995, the first time such a referendum was held, official results gave Hussein a

programs. The council should decide what to do based on that report, she said. The comments were some ofthe most extensive so far by China, a permanent veto-bearing member of the Security Council that has been watching quietly while the United States and France, traditional allies, tussle over how to proceed

if Iraq refuses to disarm.

Beijing appears to be supporting France, which wants two stages, with a vote on the use of force to come based on the results of inspections. The United States wants one resolution setting up rigorous weapons inspections, with an authorization to attack Iraq if it fails to cooperate. After his meeting Tuesday, Powell said Iraq had to be disarmed because it had supported “terrorists” and was making prohibited weapons. “That’s why I think Iraq is very

much part of this overall campaign,” Powell said. “We continue to believe that one resolution will suffice,” he said, and added, as he has day after day in the long negotiation, that he remains “hopeful that we will find a solution.” Blix gave the Security Council his assessment of two letters Baghdad sent him last week to follow up on their meetings in Vienna early this month. Both letters were sharply criticized by the United States as well as other permanent powers on the council. While Blix said there was “a large area of common understanding” with Baghdad on the nuts-and-bolts arrangements, he also pointed out that Baghdad had not reconfirmed all the agreements that he believed he had reached with the Iraqi officials in the Vienna meetings. Iraq has not agreed to allow the inspectors to open regional offices, he said. He said the “simplest way to clear up remaining points” would be for Baghdad to give its broad approval.

The Fuqua School of Business also ranked 25th in the Wall Street Journ lal’s of U.S. business schools and sixth in the U.S. News World Report’s ranking of U.S. bi •usiness schools last spring.

WEAPONS from page 2

FUQUA RANKINGS Students, faculty and staff gathered last Thursday in the new Fox Student Center to watch BusinessWeek’s online “countdown.” BusinessWeek’s rankings are based on surveys of the daytime class of 2002 and of corporate recruiters, and also factors in the previous two surveys in 1998 and 2000. It is generally considered the most prominent ofthe business school rankings, said Associate Dean Jim Gray, and the school is pleased to be considered a top-10 school. “When you examine what happened in the past to schools ranked No. 5 as we were in 2000, there is an average drop of three places,” Breeden wrote. “Moves of this magnitude are normal fluctuations, and so I am quite pleased that again we have taken our rightful place among the very best schools in the world.” The Financial Times survey, for the first time, used Duke’s global executive MBA program instead of its weekend executive program—resulting in its 15place jump, the largest of the survey. The newspaper said Fuqua’s program bucked the trend of high-ranking schools being concentrated in major Northeastern and European cities.

INDONESIA from page 2 Indonesian officials had no comment Tuesday night, but American officials said they had reacted before this weekend largely with demands for more concrete evidence of a terrorist plot and al Qaeda activity. Since the weekend bombing, senior Indonesian officials have conceded for the first time that groups linked to al Qaeda are active in their country, although Megawati has not said so. In its warnings to Indonesia, the United States said that an attack would not necessarily have an official U.S. site as its target, but perhaps one known to attract American civilians, a senior American official said. “We told them; Wrap it up. Block it. Demonstrate that you are serious about eliminating the threat against us,’” the official said, declining to be any more specific about what action was expected. If the government did not act by the time Megawati was to see Bush at a meeting in Mexico in late October, the Indonesian leader was told, the United States planned to send a public signal that Indonesia was a terrorist haven by ordering all but the most essential American diplomats home, the official said.

“We pioneered these executive MBA programs that involve distance learning,” Gray said. “[The ranking] positions us as an international school.” The Economist Intelligence Unit’s releasing of rankings came as a surprise, Gray said. For 14 years, the group has published a book annually called “Which MBA?” but decided this year to include rankings for the first time. The results are based upon a student-centric study of 18,000 students and alumni from around the world. In September, The Wall Street Journal ranked Fuqua as the 25th-best business school in the nation, a significant jump from a 44th-place ranking last year. Despite the increase, however, many in the Fuqua community felt the ranking—only in its second year—was inaccurate and its research poorly conducted. Last April, the business school jumped from eighth to sixth in U.S. News and World Report’s rankings. The magazine ranked Duke’s executive education program third, marketing fifth, both general management and international business eighth and quantitative analysis tenth.

Breeden said the school still has

room to grow, and cited expanding faculty and doctoral programs, building its presence overseas and expanding its financial resources as top goals.

In the aftermath ofthe Bah bombing, that is now happening. About 350 Americans connected with the U.S. Embassy—about 100 diplomats and the families of all diplomats—were ordered to leave the country by Friday, a State Department officer said. About 100 American diplomats are to remain at the embassy in downtown Jakarta, which is heavily guarded and surrounded by new concrete barricades. Boyce told departing diplomats at an outdoor meeting in the embassy courtyard Tuesday that their return would depend entirely on Indonesian government action to decrease the threat to Americans here. American officials voiced concern that even in the face of the Bali attack, Megawati lacked the resolve to take action against militant Islamic groups. She heads the world’s most populous Muslim country but has a famously passive style and has been reluctant to cross her vice president, Hamzah Haz, and other prominent supporters of the groups. In an effort to embolden her, and to convince her ministers of the terrorist threat, the U.S. invited Indonesian intelligence and police officials to interview Al-Faruq. They were still interviewing him Saturday night when the attack occurred, two American officials said.

Volleyball takes the sting out of Georgia Tech, 3-2 By PAULA LEHMAN The Chronicle

In the heat of the second game against No. 20 Georgia Tech (19-4, Georgia Tech 2 5-2 in the ACC) in Cameron Indoor Stadium Tuesday night, Duke’s Arielle Linderman blocked a powerful shot by the Yellow Jackets’ Blair Moon, which almost knocked her flat on her back. The play was indicative ofthe type of intensity the Blue Devils (16-6, 4-3) played with last night against a team who had expected them to simply roll over and take a beating. “We really worked as a team,” said Linderman, who had 32 set attacks and five kills. “Whenever someone was down, there was always someone there Duke

to step up.”

Bounding onto the court at the start of the second match, Duke answered the power hitters of Georgia Tech with incredible defense, such as Katie Gilman’s sprawling dig when the score was 22-16 and the aforementioned block by Linderman. Once the defense allowed for some breathing room, Duke’s offense began to break down the Yellow Jackets, changing play from a power hitter’s struggle to hitting play formations, such as Jill Sonne’s cross-over

kill landing exactly in the middle of the helpless Tech defense. Duke won the second match with the largest spread of the night, 30-20. “We came into the game feeling like we had something to prove,” said Sonne, who was one of the team’s leaders with 14 kills. “We came out and played as hard as we could.” Both squads were out to prove their power and halfway through the third match, neither team had surpassed the other by more than two points. Eventually, Georgia Tech eventually pulled out a 30-27 win over the Blue Devils.

Duke, however, struck back by taking the fourth and fifth games 30-22 and 15-9. Duke head coach Jolene Nagel was happy as Duke pulled out a hard-fought win. “It was a great win for our team tonight,” Nagel said. “We’ve worked hard to improve each time we step on the court and I think we’re continuing to do that. It was a great team effort.” The defeat of the Yellow Jackets ended a successful fall break for Duke, which began the week by dominating N.C. State 3-0 Friday. Duke put down the Wolfpack with game scores of 30-21, 30-17 and 30-26.

Offering only a coy smile, the playful sophomore declined to comment upon her stellar performance for fear of sounding arrogant. Instead, her teammates spoke for her. “Casey is the bomb-diggity,” Smith exclaimed. “And you can quote me.”

The Chronicle

British debut showcases Blu LONDON from The Chronicle page 1 From then on, Duke cruised, taking a 12-point lead by the end of the first quarter. The Blue Devils lost their grip slightly, as London pulled within three with 3:01 left in the first half, thanks to the short-lived hot hand of London star Kendrick Warren. However, Lee Melchionni buried two free throws and on the subsequent possession Casey Sanders took a Wilkerson charge to kill the Towers’ momentum. Duke then went on a quick 9-3 run and took a nine-point lead into the locker room—a lead the Blue Devils would sustain for the rest of the contest as they held on for the win. ‘We played hard, which is the very first requirement to play well in anything,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. During Monday afternoon’s game, Daniel Ewing nailed a technical foul shot after British Basketball League bad boy Rico Alderson was whistled for

an infraction, and Nick Horvath hit a long range two-point jumper from the top of the key as Duke rallied from a 22point deficit to beat the Bears. The technical foul was one of four in the game for the Bears, including the second from Alderson, who was once suspended from the BBL for 15 games after a serious on-court altercation. “I don’t know how to respond to it,” Brighton coach Nick Nurse said. “All the f—ing referees did was call fouls all the time. You can only get five and you’re out and we had everybody on four.” Only a minute after losing their power forward, the Bears found themselves without ex-Tulane Green Wave Sterling Davis, who was ejected for arguing with ACC referee Mike Wood after being told to be quiet. With Duke leading 80-78 at the time, the Blue Devils used the call to put the game away as Ewing, who scored 13 points in the fourth quarter alone, sank both shots, and, on the ensuing posses-

sion, Shelden Williams found the ball inside, muscled his way up, hit a layup and drew the foul. “For us it was basically an American game,” Krzyzewski said. “The physicality of the game knocked us back some

and both teams fought like crazy.” The night before, former Virginia Commonwealth star Kendrick Warren scored eight points in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter, helping the London Towers open the second half with a 10-2 run that they rode to a 94-84 win over Duke

“It was a good, hard fought game,” Krzyzewski said. Tm proud of the team. I thought they played hard in both games and overall it was a really great day.” After taking a 68-62 lead into the final quarter, Duke had problems finding the bottom of the basket, scoring only seven points in the first 7 1/2 min-

utes of the final quarter. Meanwhile, the Towers caught fire. Following Warren’s streak, London played stellar defense, holding Duke to only one Daniel Ewing three-pointer in the next two minutes of play.

“I told my assistant coaches that I’m taking my wife out to dinner tonight and they can coach Game 4,” said Towers head David Lindstroem. “I might as well be able to tell my grandkids that I was 10 against Coach K.” The Blue Devils’ first game of the trip came as the rest of the college basketball world woke up fresh off another round of Midnight Madness. While other NCAA teams were tipping off the season’s first practice, Duke’s season was getting underway, as the Blue Devils beat Racing Basket Antwerpen by 25 points Sunday afternoon. After a rough first quarter in which Duke was outscored 27-19, the Blue Devils bounced back behind senior Dahntay Jones’ sharp shooting and tight defense. Jones, who led Duke with 21 points, drained a pair of threes from the right corner within 16 seconds of each other to cap off a 26-7 run and give the Blue Devils a 45-34 lead. Duke would never relinquish the lead, holding the top team in the Belgium League to only nine points in the

second quarter. “I thought we played with a lot of enthusiasm,” Krzyzewski said. “We

gave up 27 points in the first 10 min-, utes and only 44 in the next 30. We began charging down balls and we started playing defense. We should be a good defensive team—we have a lot of depth and athleticism.”

Crazies make guest appearance in London By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

LONDON For most students, one of the biggest negatives to traveling abroad is missing men’s basketball games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. It is for that reason that a majority of juniors who go abroad choose to spend their time overseas in the fall semester, only missing the very beginning of the season, rather than missing the spring semester, March Madness and all of the accompanying bonfires and partying. However, for the first time in recent memory, some students got to have their cake and eat it too especially the ones studying in England—when they were able to see the men’s basketball team play a set of four games against three European teams Sunday and Monday at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in London. “I’m a big Duke fan, so it’s really fun to be here and support the team,” said Trinity junior Justin Waller, who is spending this semester at King’s College in London. Before Game 2, men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski came over and talked to the students, who had essentially formed their own section, all sitting together in two of the middle sections on the unreserved side of the court. Krzyzewski said that he thanked the fans for com—

ing out and supporting the team, adding that he was a little bit surprised that “so many of them were here.” All told, Duke fans outnumbered Towers’ supporters by more than three to one. Although the majority of those present were studying directly in London, many students came down from surrounding areas like Oxford to catch at least one day’s worth of games. A few students who are studying on the continent also made the journey, saying that they were planning on going to the games and seeing London during the weekend. “It’s awesome to see what [the men’s basketball teaml is like—even if it only is the preseason—playing against competition,” Waller said. While the atmosphere of the 3,000-person Crystal Palace—a poor venue by American standards—didn’t quite rival that of fabled Cameron Indoor Sta-

dium, the students said they still had a good time,

sitting for most of the game but doing a few of the staple cheers when the opportunity arose. Most said they were simply happy to catch a men’s basketball game overseas, and one even noted the perks of watching the Blue Devils in London, rather than Durham. “Where else can you drink at a Duke game?” said Trinity junior Steve Bischoff, who is studying at (CLOCKWISE FROM UPPER LEFT) SEAN DOCKERY, MICHAEL THOMPSON, JJ.

move or two. His antics were shocking; in only a few minutes, Krzyzewski had shown more movement than he typically does during an entire ACC season. During the next timeout he did it again and again and again. Associate head coach Johnny Dawkins even stood up once. “I told our team that I was going to do that and not to take anything personally and they responded well,” Krzyzewski said. “I wouldn’t do that necessarily in front of a regular season game.

spond—and they

did respond—and second of all to teach them to play with a passion.” As Krzyzewski said, they did re-

spond, and probably nobody did better than Dahntay Jones, who was the only Blue Devil to score in double figures in all four games. Jones racked up 21, 21, 12 and 10 points in each game, respectively, despite playing less than 20 minutes in the final game. Jones used his trademark explosive step from the wing to burn his defenders on Antwerpen, Brighton and London and showed no hesitation in shooting the two or the three. On defense he was his regular self, arguably the best defender on the team. “Dahntay’s played like he has been all practice session,” Krzyzewski said. “Dahntay’s been the guy who overall has been our best player after 10practices.” The other returning starter, Chris Duhon, was less of an offensive force, being more content to play his familiar role of floor general. While Duhon always found the open man, he was not the scorer that experts had been saying he needed to be for Duke to have a successful season. However, Krzyzewski said the Slidell, La., native used this trip not to display his offensive prowess, but rather to concentrate on teaching Duke’s style of play to the freshmen. The Blue Devil head coach was particularly happy, for example, when his freshman point guard Sean Dockery came to the bench to ask advice not of the coaching staff, but rather Duhon. “We showed a lot of toughness the whole weekend, and we’ll be a tough team,” Duhon said. “We learned a lot about ourselves and we know what type of team we need to be to become a great team.”

CRAIG JONAS/SPECIALTO THE CHRONICLE

and DANIEL EWING compete in the International Challenge Series at the Crystal Palace in London.

Sophomore Daniel Ewing not only picked up where he left off at the end of last season, but improved upon it. He demonstrated his ability to be a go-to-guy for the Blue Devils, scoring 13 points in the fourth quarter alone as the Blue Devils rallied from a 22point deficit just before the end of the first half to win Game 3 against the

Brighton Bears by eight. Both of Duke’s other main returnees—redshirt junior Nick Horvath and senior Casey Sanders—played well, with Horvath nailing several long-range jumpers and Sanders, who dropped 12 points in the last game, becoming a shot-blocking presence in the paint; the Tampa, Fla., native recorded five blocks during the trip. Both players saw a significant increase in minutes from the last two seasons as well. “Fm so pleased for Nick, he’s now playing like he’s been practicing, which is well,” Krzyzewski said. Of the freshmen, Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams were the quickest to establish themselves, both starting the first game. Randolph had a big first day, showing his big-man versatility by taking shots from every spot on the court, while Williams displayed his huge post skills best during the second set of games. Against Brighton, Williams dominated inside with 14 points and five boards in only 22 minutes. “Shav is an important part of the team and he was hitting some tough

shots,” Jones said. J.J. Redick and Sean Dockery both started slow but came on by the end. Dockery was arguably the most surprising Blue Devil, excelling in his

role behind Duhon and showing flashes of brilliance with a couple of alley-oop passes and flashy ball handling skills. Redick, on the other hand, was streaky, but lethal when his shot was on. The Roanoke, Va., native—who Randolph called the best shooter he’s ever seen—hit several back-to-back threes, but brought down the house by sinking a sniper shot from near the half court line. Redick also dispelled any notion that he is a one-dimensional player by going to the basket on several occasions. After playing only sparingly the first day, Michael Thompson and Lee Melchionni were used significantly on the second. Thompson was highstrung—Krzyzewski said the young center was “putting a dent into the backboard whenever he went up for a

layup”—and also showed he could get in foul trouble easily, tallying nine in the last two games. However, when Thompson did contribute he put up solid minutes as another big post presence for the Blue Devils. The highlight of the trip for Mel-

chionni came when he drained a three, his only points of the game, to spark the final Duke comeback against the Brighton Bears. Duhon, Ewing and Jones all agreed that it will still take some time before the freshmen learn how to play “Duke defense.” However, they also said there is no need for concern and that London had been a great learning experience for the team as a whole. “Joking aside, this has been a great trip for us and we really appreciate the hospitality,” Krzyzewski said, adding that the competition the team played in Europe was much tougher than any exhibition games Duke would play in the United States. “This experience was great.”

Demon Deacons’ big plays curse Blue Devils By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

The

Duke football team (2-5, 0-3 in the ACC) started off strong

against Wake Forest (4-3, 2-2) Saturday, but was unable to produce offensively in a 36-10 loss to the Demon Deacons. Duke dominated early on both sides of the ball, forcing a three-and-out for Wake Forest and then marching 65 yards to the Demon Deacon five-yard line. After failing to put the ball in the end zone, kicker Brent Garber came on to attempt a 22yard field goal. The snap was high and Garber’s kick was blocked by Wake Forest’s R'.D. Montgomery. The ball was recovered at the ten-yard line by Demon Deacon Eric King, who ran the ball back 90 yards for the first score of the game. Duke’s next drive proved equally disappointing, as Kellen Brantley intercepted a tipped Adam Smith pass and returned it 29-yards for a touchdown. “I have never been in a game like this before,” Duke defensive end Shawn Johnson said. “We shut them down three and out on the opening drive, and then we did not get back on the field until there were two minutes left in the quarter, and we were down 14-0.” Duke retaliated on the strength of a 23-yard Alex Wade scamper, moving to the five-yard line yet again. It was again stymied in the red zone, however, and Garber converted a 24-yard field goal to cut the lead to 14-3. “That’s been our problem the entire year—scoring when we get in the red zone,” Wade said. “We kick too many field goals on this team.” Ted Roofs defense continued to manhandle Wake Forest in the second quarter, holding the ACC’s top rushing offense to just 32 first-half yards. Quarterback Chris Dapolito moved the

chains, advancing Duke to the five-yard line with another opportunity to score seven points. However, Dapolito could not rectify the Blue Devils’ problems in the red zone, as Duke settled for a 31yard field goal that would sail wide left. After trading punts, Duke linebacker Ryan Fowler caused a fumble with a jarring hit on receiver Jason Anderson. Kenneth Stanford recovered the fumble at the 48-yard line, setting up Duke’s lone touchdown drive of the game. Wade took matters into his own hands, as the following drive was all Wade—literally. He carried the ball for 41 yards and caught two passes for 11 more on the drive, highlighted by a 31yard rumble to the one-yard line. He finished it off with a one-yard surge up the middle that cut the deficit to 14-10. Despite accumulating 176 all-purposeyards on the game, a chagrined Wade was disappointed with his performance. “My stats might look good, but really I didn’t play that well,” Wade said. “I gave up a fumble. I gave up two sacks. We were down inside the five yard line four times in the first half and I don’t put the ball in the end zone [more than once]. That’s got to be my territory, and I wasn’t successful.” Wake Forest took control in the second halfand capitalized on Duke’s ineffectual offense—the Blue Devils punted five times and had a fumble apiece from Wade and Stanford in their seven second half possessions. Duke still managed to dominate the game stats, as the Blue Devils gained 114 more yards, controlled the ball for 11 more minutes and gained eight more first downs than the Demon Deacons. “The guys hung in and moved the ball well and as a coaching staff we have

to coach better,” Franks said. “The scoreboard was not indicative ofthe game.”

Duke 10. Come again? Despite manhandling the favored Demon Deacons for the entire first half the Blue Devils found themselves trailing thanks to a blocked field goal and an interception, both returned for

touchdowns. Four times did Duke have firstand-goal situations. They came away with just 10 points, while giving up seven after Wake Forest defensive back Eric King scooped up Brent Garber’s blocked kick and ran untouched for 90 yards. Instead of leaving the field for halftime with a 20-point lead the Blue Devils jogged off trailing by four.

In the aftermath of Duke’s 36-10 blowout loss, that missed opportunity haunted everyone in the Blue Devil locker room. “What hurts is that we go out there and we don’t play as smart as we can play,” said head coach Carl Franks, visibly upset. “When we should have been up, we’re down 14-0.1 mean, that hurts.... Those kind of things hurt more than the differential on the scoreboard.” Duke retook the field thinking, hoping that Wake Forest couldn’t possibly get any more big plays. Unfortunately, though, the worst was still to come, including a fumbled punt inside the 20, another fumble at midfield and a slew of missed tackles. One play stood out from the rest. One

play deflated Duke’s sails for good, opening up the flood gates for a depressingly lopsided defeat. The defining moment was Nick Burney’s 43-yard touchdown jaunt up the middle ofDuke defense. Upon taking the handoff Burney made one cut and took off untouched, unapproached even, straight up the gut of what had previously been an impenetrable Duke defense. “I expected [the hole] to open up, but not as wide as it did,” Burney said. “I was like ‘oh, my God!”’ Burney’s sprint rattled the Blue Devil defense, which rallied to hold Wake Forest to 3-and-out on its next possession, but simply fell apart after

Kenneth Stanford’s muffed punt. The Demon Deacons would score touchdowns on their next three possessions. But it was Burney’s shockingly easy flight through the Duke secondary that rattled the Blue Devils beyond recovery. The defense had bailed out Duke’s special teams miscues and red zone struggles for as long as it could. It cracked after Burney’s devastating run. “We try to keep our emotions up no

matter what happens on the football field, and through all adversity,” defensive end Shawn Johnson said after agreeing that the defensive unit had suffered a let down in the second half of the game. “It’s really hard to do that when there’s bad things going on, but that’s on us.” With its defense reeling and its offense handing Wake Forest opportunity after opportunity inside Blue Devil territory, Duke simply crumpled. Trying to overcome a fluke 14-point deficit had taken an emotional toll, and Burney’s backbreaking dash to the end zone proved to be the final straw. “Football’s a game of momentum,” Wade noted. ‘When you lose momentum, it is hard to get it back. You have to give credit to Wake Forest. They got the momentum and they kept it the rest of the game. “That’s something we try to emphasize in practice—not letting those momentum shifts happen to us. But we didn’t do that today.” r\ i vvv.r j 11.\ i.i i u

Grand Slam: McCain takes Riviera All-American By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

Desperate times called for desperate measures for Kelly McCain this Sunday. After the sophomore women’s tennis star breezed through four Top-25 players and basked in her dominance and the California sun for the entire weekend, something had to give by the end of the westward trip. But after dropping her first set of the tournament to open up the singles final of the ITA Riviera All-American, McCain slimmed down the court and went with a vicious power game to

thrust by Old Dominion’s Nataly Cahana, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, and head home with a tan and a title. “Nataly played a really tough first set, but I was able to make some adjustments and get my head screwed on straight and pull away,” said McCain, who is ranked fifth nationally but captured her first national collegiate cham-

pionship. “It’s great to finally break through and show that I cam play with everyone at this level.”

McCain tends to use the entire court, ping Erin Burdette, Stanford’s ace and she relied on her speed to blow by and the No. 7 player in the nation, Penn’s No. 14 Alice Pirsu, No. 6 Sara along the way (6-3, 6-4).

Yani wins one, loses one Perea leads Blue Devils at the ITA All-American to 3-1 win over Wolfpack By BRIAN SMITH The Chronicle

In the ITA All-American Tennis Tournament this weekend, Michael Yani—the lone Blue Devil participating in the tournament—reached the second round before falling to Amer Delic of Illinois. Yani showed a lot of grit in taking the fourth-seeded Delic, who head coach Jay Lapidus described as “one of the elite players in college tennis,” to three sets in the round-of-32. After losing the first set in a tiebreaker, 7-6, Yani fought back to win the second set 6-4. In the final set, Delic, who reached the finals of the tournament, pulled it all together and was able to muster a 6-2 victory and a spot in the round of 16.

Lapidus was extremely pleased with Michael’s performance in the tournament. “He’s gone from not even a singles player on our team to one ofthe top singles players in the country,” Lapidus said. “Michael has done an unbelievable job of improving over the course of his career here.” In the first round, the Duke senior cruised to a straight set victory. He de-

feated Chad Harris of Vanderbilt 6-3, 64 en route to his match-up with the highly touted Delic at the Champions Club in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Yani’s demeanor during practice is a key part of his personal development as well as the team’s. As one of only two seniors on Duke’s team this year, Yani has taken it upon himself to lead by example. “Mike’s always out there at practice giving a great effort, which is a big thing for the younger guys,” Lapidus said. “I think they can see what improvement he has made, and it moti-

vates them to try their hardest and fol-

low after his lead.” Yani has played exceptionally well this fall, winning the Flight A singles championship in the Adidas Collegiate Invitational two weeks ago, and nearly knocking off Delic this past weekend in Tennessee. Lapidus believes that Yani’s play will be integral to the success of the team in the spring.

“If Michael continues to make progress like this, he will be a huge factor this spring,” he said. “I expect him to get some big, big wins for us.”

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

3 Trevor Perea had one busy hour Sunday af-

Duke

MaBHIaHWI ternoon. The senior midfielder assisted one goal and scored another before being ejected in the 60th minute of Duke’s 3-1 victory at N.C. State (5-8, 0-5 in the ACC). The win was the seventh straight victory for No. 18 Duke (8-3-1, 3-1) over its neighbors from Raleigh. Blue Devil goalie Justin Trowbridge needed just three saves to hold N.C. State to a one-

goal performance. “We did everything we wanted to do,” Duke head coach John Rennie said. “Playing in the league, away from home, we’re still finding away to win without several of our best defenders out there.” Matt White returned from injury for the Blue Devils, who are tied with Maryland for second place in the ACC, and he entered into the “defense by committee” that held the Wolfpack to seven shots.

Freshman lan Carey opened the scoring for Duke in the sth minute by knocking the rebound of a Perea corner past N.C. State keeper Mitchell Watson.

N.C. State retaliated in the 32nd minute when Aaron King scored off a throw in, but Perea gave Duke the lead for good five minutes later when he put a 23-yard free kick in the upper left corner of the goal. Perea’s day came to an early conclusion in the 60th minute when both he and N.C. State’s Justin Branch received yellow cards after tussling. Unfortunately for Perea, he had been booked earlier in the game and the Blue Devils went a man down. In the 64th minute, Branch received his second yellow and the teams were even once again. Duke put the game away in the 83rd minute when Carey made a perfect pass to Jordan Cila in the box and the junior blasted a shot past Watson. The goal was Gila’s fourth in five games and sixth of the season. “Jordan’s going to score his roughly 10 or 12 goals a year,” Rennie said. “He had a little slower start than he would have liked, but he’s been catching up and playing very well.” The Blue Devils return to action tonight at 7:00 p.m., when they host the Fighting Camels of Campbell (2-8).

IRAQ from page 5 in a failed assassination attempt against Iraq’s first president in 1959, according to official biographies. In the Iraqi leader’s 23 years in power, Baghdad’s inner circle has been top-heavy with Tikritis. The town, an agglomeration of the monumental buildings that have been the hallmark of Iraqi architecture under Hussein, has grown under his patronage from a scruffy trading post along the Tigris River to a memorial to his power. The result of the vote is a foregone conclusion and will, in theory, keep Hussein in power for another seven years.

On the face of it, it might seem hard to believe that any exercise so plainly lacking in the basics of democracy as practiced in other parts of the world—no opposition candidate, no election campaign, no public appearances by the secretive Hussein, and no semblance of secrecy in the balloting procedures—could be regarded as anything but the illusion of a profoundly au-

thoritarian state. But Iraqis approached the voting with a deadly earnestness, for many reasons, not least the importance of registering their loyalty to Hussein. The scenes Tuesday in Tikrit seemed to belie any assertion that Iraqis might welcome a U.S.-led military invasion to topple Hussein. In Baghdad, the fervor was more constrained, and more obviously orchestrated. The delirious voters included middle-aged men in

business suits, young women fashionably dressed in trim skirts and blouses and sheiks in the gold-edged abaya cloaks and red-checkered kaffiyeh headdresses traditional among Bedouins. In the bedlam around the ballot boxes, electoral decorum was abandoned as voters waved their ballots, checked or thumbprinted with blood. At one point, a boy no older than 5 posted his own vote, to more shouts of “Yes, yes, yes to Saddam.” Election officials were eager to demonstrate that the individual ballots carried no markings or numbering—beyond a handwritten entry recording the district and polling place—that would allow the government to identify those voting “no.” As a technical matter, the largest inhibition to a negative vote appeared to be the voters’ habit of holding their marked ballot up for inspection, but even this was not universal, with some folding their ballots before they reached the box. At a polling place deep in the desert outside the town, a Bedouin chief, Saban al-Hassan, sat in a tent surrounded by tribal elders, who uttered their approbation, chorus-style, as he batted away the skeptical questions, mostly with the argument that Iraq, and its political traditions, were not to be compared with any other country in the world. With sand blowing on the wind stinging his visitors’ faces, another of the Bedouin chiefs, Adil Rezurky, finally closed off the discussion with what amounted to his ace-in-the-hole. “Of course this is a democratic process,” the 60year-old tribal chief said. “Iraqis know Saddam Hussein to be one of the great leaders of the world, so what reason would they have not to choose him? With a leader such as this, how could Iraqis want to say anything but yes?” A more likely explanation appeared to lie in the seemingly closed system ofreasoning voters brought to the process.

MARKET from page 1 produce here is great. It helps me stay healthier, and it’s fresher than when I get it from the grocery.” Whitlock added the market even improved her family’s eating habits by sparking their enthusiasm for fresh foods. “When I bring [produce from the market] home, everyone eats it right away,” she said. The only complaint Whitlock voiced was a lack of variety in lunch choices from week to week. Accommodating approximately 8,000 visits by Duke employees and students this season, patronage of the market is estimated to have doubled since last year. As the idea of the market started to catch on with staff and students within the University community, the rest of the Triangle area began to take notice. Live for Life manager Julie Joyner cited both Cisco Systems and the SAS Institute as organizations that have created similar programs locally, modeled after and inspired by the success of Live for Life’s Farmers Market.

But the growing market has also become a hub of community for employees as well. Doreathy Booth of The Angels Nest Farm said the atmosphere is warm and familial. Customers can wander leisurely from booth to booth as, more often than not, a fellow employee sets the mood with music in the background. Joyner remembered one day in particular when an employee and her daughter came and played the cello to provide entertainment for market-goers. “Of course I love coming back here,” Booth exclaimed. “[My customers] are like friends that keep coming back. And they know what they want.”

CARDIAC MRI from page 4 able to create better images and have the understanding to interpret them, the center could improve the diagnosis of various heart diseases, including heart attacks, blocked aorta, heart failure and heart murmurs. Eventually, Judd said, the goal of the research is to be able to predict clinical outcomes. Judd added that the group will be building the relatively new and constantly improving technology from scratch, and Kim said their group will have attained success “if we come up with [a technology], implement it and use it effectively.” The center’s research group—comprising doctors, researchers, research fellows, postdoctoral students and other support staff—will feature a total offour to five medical school faculty members in addition to six to eight fellows and postdoctoral researchers once recruiting is complete.

The Chronicle Attacking attrition In its efforts to reduce attrition, the Graduate School should look both at its admissions procedures and support issues

The

Executive Committee of the Graduate Faculty is trying to fig-

ure out why over one third of graduates students leave Duke without obtaining their doctorate. At a time when the University

is investing heavily to recruit candidates for the Graduate School, problems with attrition remain a stumbling block for health of many of the graduate programs. The high rate of attrition has both financial and human implications, and the Graduate School is beginning to take steps to address attrition and to reduce the number of students who leave. If people drop out of a competitive graduate school such as Duke, this hurts the University, since those individuals took spots from others who could have stayed to receive their doctorate. In addition, the University also invests a lot of money in each of its graduate students, and if they depart before getting their degree, then Duke’s investment is wasted. Part of the reason Duke has graduate students is to contribute to the next generation of academics and to support those academics already at work—both goals are stifled if there is significant attrition. The primary way the Graduate School can address the attrition problem is by more closely evaluating the applicants. Students need to be matched better with their departments. If students are interviewed and closely examined, it should be possible to choose students who will mesh well with each other and are interested in the subjects. This admissions side of choosing the right people to begin with is the most important aspect ofreducing attrition. However, there are also things the University can do to encourage graduate students to remain at the school after they have matriculated For example, ensuring that all graduate students have a strong relationship with their mentor, a person who can encourage the graduate student, will reduce attrition. Also, it is important to build community among the graduate students so that students feel some tie to Duke. Increasing financial support for graduate students could also make their lives less stressful and reduce attrition. Lastly, it is important for the University to establish a strong career advising system where students can get help knowing what sort ofoptions they have once they have received a Ph.D. Of course, if the intellectual matching is not done well during the admissions process, all of the mentoring and career advising in the world will not prevent attrition. While of course attrition cannot be reduced to zero,the Graduate School should still redouble its efforts to selectively choose the right students in order to reduce attrition to as low a level as can reasonably be expected.

Paul Krugman Commentary moderates, to disrupt the lives and livelihoods of those who would prefer not to be involved, to provoke his opponents into actions that drive more people into his camp. In case you haven’t noticed, the people running al Qaeda are smart. Saturday’s bombing in Bali, presumably carried out by a group connected to al Qaeda, was monstrously evil. It was also, I’m sorry to say, very clever. And it reinforces the sinking feeling that our leaders, who seem determined to have themselves a conventional war, are playing right into the terrorists’ hands.

the stage for social and political turmoil—maybe with an ethnic and religious edge. For Indonesia is an overwhelmingly Muslim country in which a small ethnic Chinese minority, mainly Buddhist or Christian, dominates the economy.

In short, the people who set off that bomb knew what they were doing. The bomb blast in Bali followed bad news from the world’s second-most-populous Muslim country. Hard-line Islamic parties did unexpectedly well in Pakistan’s election last week, and Pervez Musharraf’s hold on power may be slipping. Do I need to point out that Pakistan is a lot bigger than Iraq, and already has nuclear weapons?

And that gets to my worries over the direction ofU.S. policy. I don’t think we could have done anything to prevent the blast in Bali—but the attack does suggest that our early military success in Afghanistan has Indonesia, the world’s most populous done little to weaken terrorist capabilities.

Commentary

The Chronicle

An unsettling score Fifteen years ago female students at Duke documented the experience of walking past benches where groups of men rated them with numbers scribbled on paper. This legend became reality one day last April as I witnessed fraternity members practicing the archaic process. That same night President Nan Keohane announced the gender initiative. “The general feeling now is that ‘We’ve solved the problem,’ and people’s eyes glaze over when you start talking about it,” she told the Women’s Administrative Network. Keohane was describing the perceived death of feminism. At a progressive univer-. mm sity like Duke, we trust that women are

given equal opportunities as men, both inside and outside of the classroom. tm Discussion of gender politics is precluded under the supposition that the playing field for success has already been equalized. Smith However, the woman being rated for her appearance is not on equal ground Infotainment with the man scoring her. No matter how high the number, the sum other worth has been lowered. Feminism is not dead, nor is the need for it. Not here, not anywhere. In some parts of Duke, feminism has taken center stage. Last February, The Vagina Monologues ran for two nights to nearly sold-out audiences. The play encouraged men and women to utter the taboo v-word, and the V-Day campaign raised awareness and financial support for violence against women. One month later, The Perks of Disordered Eating, written and produced by Duke students, broke the silence on the epidemic of eating disorders on campus. The necessity for dialogue on this issue was evinced by the swarms of students begging for tickets to the two-night, sold-out performance. And feminism on this campus does not just pertain to women. It involves men and has been championed by them. Two ofthe 10 members of the gender initiative task force are male, as is the first speaker for the initiative, Chris Kilmartin, author of The Masculine Self A male student spearheaded the demands for increased security last semester after a series ofviolent incidents against women, and a male student co-wrote and co-produced The Perks of Disordered Eating. Sadly, feminism is dead only where it is needed most, For men who believe they have the right to make women feel objectified and belittled as they walk to class, feminism is a joke. For women who take that kind of treatment because they feel powerless to stop it, feminism is a myth. Keohane’s admission of Duke’s failure to promote gender equity is a rebirth for the f-word. Keohane assumed the presidency at Duke after serving in the same post at the all-female Wellesley College. Arguable out of fear of being pigeonholed as a woman with a gender agenda, the feminist president let issues of gender go largely unrecognized for the past 10 years. Under her leadership, changes were never implemented following an extensive study on gender by two groups in the early 19905. Now with the confidence of her past success, Keohane is risking being unpolitical, and maybe even unpopular, to call attention to the previously unspeakable. After a recent attempted sexual assault, the protection campus security provides female students is rightly becoming a pressing issue. But creating an environment where women feel safe is not just about increasing security. It is about promoting an atmosphere of respect for women on this campus. The administration, under the leadership of Keohane, is beginning to recognize that. The work, however, begins with us. The gender initiative is a challenge to explore how gender characterizes us—the expectations gender puts on us and the way in which it dictates our behavior. It calls for us to both think and talk about how gender affects our experience at Duke. The 12 women who founded the Women’s Center are of the generation of women who documented the experience ofbeing rated. In 1999, eleven of these women returned to Duke for the 10th Anniversary of the Women’s Center. When they walked into the center, they burst into tears. They couldn’t believe that their vision of creating a safe space for women on campus had materialized. These women fought to make our university better. It is our constant obligation to make them, and others who have struggled to improve our institution, proud of what it is today.

What a jarring contrast the last year has afforded us—on Sept. 11, firefighters in the citadel of a free society hurled themselves at death to save others, while this past March, officials in Saudi Arabia, the nest of

Islamic fundamentalism, blocked girls from fleeing their burning school because they did not have their head-scarves on, condemning them to death by immolation. Every point of view is aired freely on Iraq and war, with con-

Beyond Iraq and foreign policy, there are issues of critical importance to the renewal of our country’s domestic foundations—education, environment, health care, energy independence, preventing corporate abuse and minimizing corporate welfare, reforming while safeguarding Social Security and Medicare, and judicial appointments to federal courts. A conservative has much at stake, especially if one wants to back the president on Iraq; a liberal has even more so, with the Senate the only Democratic-controlled institution in the three branches of government.
