A patent-infringement lawsuit filed against the University by the inventor of the free-electron laser was sent back to a North Carolina district court this month by the U.S. Court of Appeals in a ruling that reopens the question of the relationship between patent-holding researchers and universities. The suit alleges that the University infringed upon two of plaintiff John Madey’s patents by operating the Free-Electron Laboratory and using equipment related to Madey’s patents after he was fired as director of the laboratory in 1997. The federal court of appeals’ Oct. 3 decision directs the lower court to reexamine the case with a more limited interpretation of the experimental-use exception—a doctrine that allows for patent infringement’ if relevant research is used, in the words of a previous court decision, “for amusement, to satisfy idle curiosity or for

Sniper suspected in recent shooting Authorities believe D.C. sniper may have left message at scene Saturday in Virginia Bv ALLEN BREED The Associated Press

ASHLAND, Va. Authorities believe the Washington-area sniper might be trying to communicate with them through a message at the scene of Saturday’s shooting in Virginia. Task force investigators believe it may be the sniper who left them a message Saturday at the Ponderosa steakhouse where a 37-year-old man was shot and critically wounded in the parking lot, according to a law enforcement source close to the investigation who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. The sniper is responsible for at least 11 shootings and nine deaths since Oct. 2.

Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose asked during a brief news conference that the person who left the message should contact law enforcement. “To the person who left us a message at the Ponderosa last night. You gave us a telephone number. We do want to talk to you. Call us at the number you provided. Thank you,” Moose said. Moose asked the media to carry the message clearly and often, but did not take questions and did not elaborate. It was not clear how or where the message was left. Officer Joyce Utter, spokesperson for Montgomery County police discussed Moose’s comments after the briefing.

“To the person who left the message, it should make complete sense. That is the only person Chief Moose wants to talk to,” Utter said. The latest shooting victim, hit by a single shot in the abdomen, went back into surgery Sunday night to re-connect his stomach and intestines, hospital spokesperson Pam Lepley said. “If there’s any good news it’s that he was stable enough to be taken into surgery,” Lepley said. She said surgery began at 6:50 p.m. Sunday, but could not say how long it would take. Dozens of officers completed a methodical, inch-by-inch search of a wooded area near the Ponderosa See SNIPER on page 8

Ireland voters approve EU expansion By ALAN COWELL

New York Times News Service

With final results tallied from a DUBLIN, Ireland referendum that endorsed a major expansion ofthe European Union, diplomats and officials across the continent Sunday celebrated the vote with some relief, saying it heralded a redrawing ofthe continent’s frontiers. The ballot reversed an Irish vote last year to reject the

enlargement.

This time, official figures showed almost 63 percent of voters favored the Treaty of Nice, which sets the rules for expanding the 15-nation European Union by 2004 to embrace 10 new members, mostly Eastern and Central European countries once part of the Soviet hegemony. Ireland was the only European Union member whose constitution required a referendum on the issue.

•

In a stunning upset in June 2001, 54 percent of Irish voters rejected the expansion in a turnout of only a third of eligible voters. The treaty required unanimous support among all 15 member states and the other 14 had already approved it by parliamentary vote. After passionate campaigning on both sides before the ballot Saturday, about 48 percent of registered voters turned out and, in some districts, polled as much as 73 percent in favor of the expansion. The outcome ended a suspenseful vigil for many in the 10 countries waiting to see if they would be allowed into the union. The outcome was depicted by Irish commentators as a triumph for Ahern after the humiliation of the defeat last year. But the turnout was lower on a national level than had seemed likely when first results emerged from the Dublin area late Saturday.

Fuqua study finds pollution problems Fuqua expert Michael Lenox found that Responsible Care, a group designed by industry to oversee pollution reduction, is ineffective. By LIANA WYLER The Chronicle

Voluntary programs established by the chemical industry to promote environmental standards have been ineffective in pollution control, according to recent research by Michael Lenox, associate professor at the Fuqua School of Business. A number of companies involved in one ofthe most respected of these programs, Responsible Care, may actually be polluting more than similar chemical companies not involved with the program, Lenox said. A widespread problem in Responsible Care—an initiative of the American Chemistry Council—is that many member companies are doing next to nothing to improve their environmental record, Lenox said, erasing the contributions that some major companies, like DuPont, have made in efforts to better their emission standards. “This is a black eye for the chemical industry,” Lenox said. Responsible Care began in 1988 in response to increasing criticism of the chemical industry. The program was designed as a comprehensive promise to the public by each participating chemical company to be more environmentally conscious and friendly. Responsible Care comprises about 100 chemical companies that represent about 80 percent of the chemical industry’s production. Lenox’s findings were based on data between 1987 and 1996, collected from the annually published Environmental Protection Agency report, Toxic Release Inventory. The EPA declined to comment on the accuracy and methodology of this fist of toxic chemical emissions. Terry Yosie, vice president of Responsible Care, said the program is taking Lenox’s research and other criticism of the program into serious consideration to improve compliance. “During 2002, the Responsible Care program has been significantly changed,” Yosie wrote in an e-mail. “Prior codes of management practices have been replaced with a modernized management system [and] a new mandatory security program with third-party verification has been implemented.” See FUQUA STUDY on page 10

Coed bathrooms remain concern Living groups contend bathrooms do not compromise security By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

When administrators decided to equip bathrooms on East and West campuses with gender-specific locks last week, they overlooked one part of the student body—those students who live in selective houses with coed bathrooms. Of the eight coed selective living groups, there are two, the Languages Dormitory and Round Table, with coed bathrooms. There are two coed bathrooms with four male and 20 female students in the Languages residential space, and one coed bathroom for seven male and seven female students on the basement floor of Roundtable.

Assistant Dean of Residential Life Deb Loßiondo broached the issue to Campus Council last Thursday evening, asking if it was acceptable to take away the privilege of coed bathrooms in selective houses. “It is difficult [to have gender-specific locks] in se-

lective houses because they’ve already chosen their

rooms,” she added.

Campus Council President Andrew Nurkin said discussion will continue next week to begin forming a recommendation to Student Affairs. Larry Moneta, vice president of student affairs, will make a final decision. See BATHROOMS on page 8

Davison Council focuses on community service Medical student government stresses role of involvement through Duke in Durham activities By MARGAUX KANIS The Chronicle

After spending last year evaluating candidates for open positions in the Medical Center and helping the administration review the School of Medicine’s unique curriculum, the Davison Council, the medical school’s student government, is bringing its focus back to community service. To kick off this year, the Davison Council organized Duke in Durham, a School of Medicine day of service that sent about 70 medical student volunteers

into the communities of Durham Aug. 31. The students performed different forms of community service at places like the Durham public schools, the Ronald McDonald House, Durham nursing homes, Eno River State Park, Durham Rescue Mission and Adopt-a-Highway. “This year, we are providing an opportunity for medical students to give back to a community we take so much from,” said Davison Council Secretary Julius Wilder, who devised the idea of Duke in Durham, Pleased with the success of the pro-

gram, Wilder and Davison Council Service Vice President Marie Clark said they are now planning a corresponding spring service day. Wilder said Duke in Durham provided an opportunity for medical students to have a positive and significant impact on the Durham community. “This was a great event and we intend to make it a tradition to be followed for many years to come,” he said. Clark stressed the educational importance of being involved with the community for medical students.

“Everyone really got a chance to participate and to see what it’s like to work with such groups. Hopefully in the spring, even more medical students will have the opportunity to learn what’s really out there,” she said. Davison Council President Ali Raja agreed with the need for student commitment to society. “Medicine is a service profession, and we feel that by helping the community we can better prepare ourselves to be See DAVISON on page 8

Business schools debate role of applied investment By LAURA BEACH The Chronicle

In a time of economic uncertainty, the volatile sciences of investment banking and money management may be all the more difficult to teach. In a program at the Kenan-Flagler Business School of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, however, students learn the ups and downs of the market for themselves, investing real money in the stock market. Along with teaching money management skills and knowledge of the market itself, the program aims to instill in masters of business administration students responsibility for the consequences oftheir actions in a real-world financial setting. “You make decisions day by day and live by them,” said Program Director and UNC Professor Mustafa Gultekin. Entitled “Applied Investment Management,” the program manages two separate endowments. The Reynolds Fund began in the 1950s at an amount of

around $lO,OOO and through years of management has grown to $350,000; the Cherry Hills Fund recently began in 1999 and has a current value of $500,000. The course consists of 28 selected students who hold weekly portfolio management meetings and engage in stock pitches to decide their investment strategies. Any profits generated by the investments go to charities. For the Reynolds Fund, the proceeds are given to the United Way, while the Cherry Hills Fund contributes to the Durham Scholars, a mentoring program for city schools. “They are really working for the good of others,”

Gultekin said. Although many other universities—such as the University ofVirginia, Cornell and Notre Dame—have similar applied investment programs, the UNC program is unique in that its profits go to charity, not back to investors. Kevin Moon, who participated in the program and graduated from Kenan-Flagler in 2000, now works for

Round Table project wins Race, Sex and God competition By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

Collages, sculptures, video and audio

tapes filled McClendon Tower in the West-Edens Link Sunday, where over $1,500 in prizes were awarded to student entries during the closing reception for the Race, Sex and God competition’s weekend festival. The exhibit was part of the Beyond the Comfort Zone initiative, launched this year to foster intellectual and emotional dialogue on campus through events ranging from film screenings to guest speakers and artistic competitions. The competition guidelines, which were intentionally open-ended, attracted eight final entries in both visual and

audio mediums. The planning committee awarded three $250 third place awards, one $3OO second place award, and one $5OO first place award. “The committee was blown away by the extraordinary creativity and depth of all of the projects,” said Elizabeth Kiss, director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics and a member of the planning committee. The first prize went to a project submitted by Round Table selective living house entitled Race, Sex and God: Five Majors’ Perspectives. The entry consisted of threedimensional artistic representations of approaches to the competition topics from different disciplines—Public Policy Studies, English, Biological Anthropology and Anatomy, Computer Science and a Program II in Decision Theory. ‘When I heard about [the competition! the first thing I thought ofwas how my academic major dealt with race, sex and God,” said Adam Hartstone-Rose, the proj-

ect leader. “I would argue that every major deals with these issues on some level.” Hartstone-Rose, a senior, brought the idea of entering the competition to his house council and Round Table worked collaboratively on the project. “It took about 150 man-hours to put all this together,” said Hartstone-Rose ofthe final product. He noted that although only eight members of Round Table formally entered the competition, the project

involved work and encouragement from the entire group. “It was so wonderful to get the support of our dorm and it brought us together as a community” said Kelly Mulvey, a second year graduate student in the Masters of Arts in Teaching program and former member of Round Table. “It was just a

great experience.” Yesterday’s final ceremonies began with a sermon at the 11 a.m. Duke Chapel service by Reverend Regina Henderson, director of the Church and Society Servant-Leadership Initiative and a planning committee member. “We dare not talk about sex or that four letter word, race, in the sanctuary of God!” Henderson joked with the congregation. “But I am convinced that it is time to do so,” she said. Henderson concluded the sermon by encouraging congregation mem-

bers to attend the competition awards ceremony and view the exhibits. “The best part of the competition was the creative part... any one of these projects is a triumph,” said Leon Dunkley, director of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, after the awards ceremony. “What is here is the beginning of a very rich conversation.”

Hussein gives amnesty to Iraqi political dissidents By SALAH NASRAWI The Associated Press

With a U.S. invaCAIRO, Egypt sion looming, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein reached out to his people Sunday issuing a decree meant to empty his jails of everyone from pickpockets to political prisoners. Freshly amnestied inmates were seen streaming out of Iraqi prisons carrying their belongings in plastic shopping bags and some chanting: “We sacrifice our blood and souls for Saddam.”

The government called the amnesty

away of thanking the nation for reelecting Saddam last week in a referendum, but exiled Iraqis said the heartsand-minds move was too little, too late. U.S. officials dismissed it as a ploy to rally domestic and international support. “They better watch out where the next door is that puts them right back in jail. I mean, this is typical of this man’s use ofhuman beings for these political purposes of his,” Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” Wahid Abdel Meguid of the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies, a Cairobased think tank, said Saddam’s move is an attempt to buy time. “Saddam has zero credibility. Nobody will trust him,” Abdel Meguid said. Saddam’s decree said “full and complete and final amnesty” applied to “anyone imprisoned or arrested for political or any other reason.”

In another broadcast, Justice Minister Munthir al-Shawi described the amnesty as “the leader’s bounty bestowed on those who walked in the path of sin and wrongdoing in order to give them the chance to return to the nation’s folds.” Al-Shawi said the amnesty will not cover those who spied “for the Zionist entity,” referring to Israel, and the United States.

Amnesty International accuses Iraq of holding tens of thousands of political prisoners and of torturing and executing its opponents. There was no figure available as to how many inmates the amnesty would involve. Saddam has made a number of recent attempts to rally public support. Several weeks ago, he ordered a series of measures designed to consolidate his shaky power base through gifts and stipends. Under these new regulations, plots of land have been allocated to loyalists in the army, government and ruling party. A mortgage bank, which closed down years ago, was reopened to provide interestfree loans to selected officials. Salon cars were sold at discount prices. Since Saddam’s re-election, his lieutenants have softened their diatribes against opposition activists in exile and urged them to return to Iraq. But Iraqi dissidents were quick to dismiss the invitation as “arrogant, scornful and meaningless.”

BATHROOMS

from page 3

Students in Languages and Roundtable said unisex bathrooms are very inconvenient because of their current residential structures, especially when there is only one bathroom on their floor. Joe Franklin, a junior in the basement of Roundtable, said it would be difficult to make his bathroom unisex. “You would have to go through two or three fire doors to get upstairs. No one really wants to do that,” he said. “How does it promote sexual assault if the bathrooms are coed?” Nurkin said students should have the right to make their bathrooms coed ifthey choose and added that dorms are very inconsistently planned. As a result, he said, housing needs to address the issue of coed and single-sex bathrooms in each specific situation. “As far as the way housing has chosen in the past to lay out the floor in terms of gender, it has to be a case-tocase thing,” he said. Languages member Michelle Yoo, a junior, said she prefers coed bathrooms because male students might be more inclined to enter a coed bathroom to ward off an attacker, and a perpetrator might be less likely to enter a coed bathroom if a male student could be

found inside. “It’s safer with the possibility of guys coming in to help me,” she said.

SNIPER from page 2 restaurant where the victim, a 37year-old man, was downed by a single shot. Investigators said little about what, if anything, they had found. Some witnesses said they heard a shot come from a wooded area near the restaurant, but nobody reported seeing the shooter. If the shooting is linked to the sniper attacks that have killed nine people and injured two others since Oct. 2, it would be the first weekend attack and the farthest the sniper has traveled—about 85 miles south of Washington. The longest previous distance from the Washington area was Spotsylvania County, about 50 miles south of Washington. It would also

break the longest lull between shootings, about five days. Former FBI profiler Clinton Van Zandt said Saturday’s shooting, if related, could show the killer’s approach is changing in response to law enforcement tactics. For instance, reports last week that military surveillance planes would be used in the Washington suburbs probably prompted the sniper to move farther away, he said. And since much had been made about the weekend lulls, “I think he re-

In addition to the Davison Council’s efforts, the Student National Medical Association, of which Wilder is co-president, is organizing a Tissue Organ and Donor Education Recruitment Program, which intends to teach minorities in the community about tissue and organ donation. The SNMA is also facilitating a program to work with minority high school students in hopes of sparking their interest in careers within science.

Many students said there are fewer security concerns in selective houses when students know people around them. ‘We would ask who you are if we saw a stranger,” senior Charlene Barina, Languages president. We self-regulate our own pseudo-security. We keep track of our own people already.” Many students agreed that implementing gender-specific locks across campus is only one measure to increase safety and said bathrooms should not be the main focus of dorm security. Franklin said changing bathroom locks was not the best solution and would only increase security in two or three specific cases. “If they think people are unsafe from residents in their own dorms, they need

more than [gender-specific] locks,” Franklin said. “It seems like they should make gender-specific commons rooms or buildings if they’re going to get that radical.” Nurkin defended the change to gender-specific locks as appropriate and timely due to the recent sexual assault in Wannamaker Dormitory. However, he said the overarching solution should be more comprehensive. “The long-term solution is going to have to be more complex than changing the locks,” Nurkin said, adding that discussion and debate among several student groups will be necessary. We need to fit coed bathrooms into a larger scheme of how to make dorms safer.”

acted to that,” Van Zandt said. Residents were on edge in Ashland, a town of about 6,500. At the Virginia Center Commons mall, about seven miles from the shooting, a normally busy food court sat half-empty Sunday. Shopper Nancy Elrod said she almost had been too afraid to come. “We certainly felt sorry about all the people up north who were nervous and now it’s down here and we’re nervous too,” Elrod said. Police said the victim, whose name was not released, and his wife were traveling and stopped in Ashland for gas and food. His wife told authorities the shot sounded like a car backfiring and said her husband took about three steps before collapsing. Authorities were on the lookout early on for a white van with a ladder rack. Ashland Police ChiefFrederic Pleasants Jr. said after interviewing witnesses, however, police had no suspects and no clear description of a vehicle that could be placed at the scene. The victim underwent surgery for three hours Saturday night at MCV Hospitals in Richmond, hospital spokesperson Pam Lepley said. Doctors said they did not try to remove the bullet in the first round of surgery, but would try to do so in the second round.

Wahooed Virginia scores early to topple Duke :

Inspired Cavaliers refuse to relinquish early lead after scoring twice in the first 11 minutes By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

soccer team’s road trip to 3 The men’s Virginia Charlottesville, Va., Sunday might as Duke 1 well have been a journey on the high seas, with the No. 18Blue Devils riding strong and fast behind three straight wins towards a potential ACC championship. In their way sailed a struggling and unranked Virginia team—usually the nation’s most impressive program. Though undefeated at home, the Cavaliers hardly appeared a legitimate threat. Yet behind two early scores, feistiness and a bevy of raucous Wahoo fans, the Cavaliers took the wind out of the Blue Devil sails with a 3-1 win at Klockn-

er Stadium. “We were definitely playing catch-up, because the whole team was asleep for the first 15 minutes,” sophomore forward Owoicho “Nigie” Adogwa said. “But it was a war actually, and on this day Virginia

won the war.” TREVOR PEREA, an all-ACC performer for the Blue Devils, returned to action after serving a one-game red card suspension.

The Cavaliers (8-5-0, 2-3-0 in the ACC) gave the Blue Devils (9-4-1, 3-2-0) nightmares right from the

start, sounding the battle cry at the 7:10 mark. Wahoo forward Jacob Leßlanc sent a shot towards Duke goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge, who made the initial save but left the deflection in the wrong spot on what he called “an unlucky play.” Alecko Eskandarian, the ACC’s most lethal scoring weapon, pounced on the free ball for his leagueleading 18th goal of the season. Only four minutes later, Leßlanc placed a corner kick perfectly in mid-air at the back post, leaving Duke vulnerable. The Blue Devil defense, hobbled by injuries but finally starting to gel as a new unit, left junior forward Ryan Kelly alone to head in what would turn out to be the game-winning goal, putting Duke in a deep chasm before it had even docked its ship. “They came out very intense right away,” Trowbridge said, “so we were battling back the whole game, which you can’t do against good teams, especially in the ACC.” Using a forward push, though, the Blue Devils See VIRGINIA on page 7

Duke rally falls short in 2-1 loss to Charlotte The Blue Devils have dropped five of seven after beginning the season with a 6-2 record By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

2 Casey McCluskey’s goal with under Charlotte eight minutes to go in the game left I the Blue Devils (6-7-1) just short, as Duke time ran out in their 2-1 loss to non-conference host No. 12 Charlotte (13-0-1) Sunday. Head coach Robbie Church hopes that the intrastate setback marks a turning point for the Blue Devils, who started out 2002 by winning six of their first eight games. “We hope to use this as a springboard going into the last quarter of the season,” head coach Robbie Church said of the team’s first-ever loss to the 49ers. “We slipped back, while Charlotte played very well and hard.”

Duke, who holds a 5-1 overall record against Charlotte, failed to put points on the board until the 81:53 mark, when the sophomore midfielder scored an unassisted goal. McCluskey’s strike was her fourth in three games, and a team-leading eighth on the season. Church was

impressed with the Springfield, Va., native’s play, though he was disappointed with his team’s inability to play at a high level. “It was a very disappointing loss,” Church said. “We really didn’t do what we should have. We did not play hard or show the intensity we did all 90 minutes against N.C. State last week.” Charlotte’s first goal came 7:18 into the game when midfielder Jennie Leeder, in her sixth goal of the season, scored off a no-look heel shot from an assist by Megan Terlip. Both teams failed to find the goal again until 20 minutes were left in the game, when Charlotte freshman Courtney Crandell scored at the 72:16 mark off an assist by Shannon Roberto. Her shot from outside the 18 sank into the far right corner of the goal. It was the Des Moines, la. native’s 17th score of the season, which leaves her one goal shy of the school single-season goal record.

Close, but no cigar: Duke’s upset FOOTBALL

from The Chronicle page 1

Two more Smith passes would fall incomplete, leaving Garber to attempt a 65-yard chance at history. No kicker in any league, professional, collegiate or otherwise, has successfully converted such a long attempt in regulation play. Ever. As he measured the steps back from his own 45 yardline Garber pushed such distractions far from his mind. “You can’t let that stuff get in your head,” Garber said. “I go out there every kick and just try to stay as calm as possible.... Fm glad I had the chance. I don’t think it was unfair at all. I was glad that I was the one to get to try it.” In summer practice sessions, with the stands deserted and without all grunting defenders straining for a block, Garber had sometimes come through from 70 yards. In front of 51,500 screaming Wolfpack fans those that hadn’t left five minutes earlier after N.C. State quarterback Philip Rivers completed a 53-yard bomb to Jerricho Cotchery to give the Wolfpack a seemingly insurmountable 24-15 lead—and gunning for the perfect strike, Garber couldn’t convert. His attempt at immortality never had chance, and so while N.C. State escaped with the victory, the Blue Devils were left to wonder what might have been. “I know coaches stand up at podiums after a win and say ‘give credit to the other team,’ but those kids from Duke played their butts off,” N.C. State head coach Chuck Amato said. The Blue Devils began the game just as they finished it: with a torrent of opportunities. On the game’s very first play from scrimmage Duke safety Terrell Smith dropped a sure interception. Rivers, who entered Saturday leading the NCAA with a gaudy 170.8 quarterback rating, threw into double coverage, and Smith streaked unchecked to the ball only to have it hit him square in the chest and bounce harmlessly to the ground. Rivers, who would finish the afternoon 26-of-37 for 364 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, overcame his mental lapse to lead the Wolfpack to an opening touchdown. Trailing 7-0, Duke marched right back. On secondand-two from the NCSU 12-yard line, Duke called an audacious wide receiver pass. Smith took the ball from center and immediately threw a long lateral to Darryl Scott near the left sideline. Meanwhile running back Chris Douglas sprinted out towards the right, unmarked. Scott’s pass was too high, though. Duke came away empty, as it would

Rivers and the Wolfpack capitalized on Duke’s

failure to score, jumping to a 17-0 first half lead. In the face of such adversity, Duke responded with an entertaining display, nearly shattering the Wolfpack’s BCS hopes. “We knew we were going to hang with them,” Garber said, eyes gleaming. “We know we’re better than our record shows.... We’ve got so much heart on this team. We’ll take on anybody knowing we have a chance.” In the second half the Blue Devil defense held Rivers and company to just seven points. Meanwhile, the offense slowly put points on the board. Garber kicked field goals of 47 and 52 yards (both of which would easily have been good from 60), and Douglas broke free for a 41-yard sprint to the end zone. Still, Duke fell short of a monumental upset. Garber hooked a 31-yard field goal attempt wide left in the third quarter. A key defensive letdown allowed Rivers’ fourth quarter bomb to Cotchery. The Blue Devils’ 60-minute fight ended in disappointment. “It is gut-wrenching,” Smith said. “I’m proud of this team. Everybody went out there and fought their hardest. It would have been a lot nicer, it would have been the biggest thing to happen to us in a long time, if we could have pulled this off.”

cial thwarted by No. 10 N.C. State � Duke, unable to connect on a series of pass plays, forced kicker Brent Garber to attempt a 65-yard field goal, which fell short, as did Duke’s upset try against the No. 10 team in the country. “One play here or there.” It’s head coach Carl Franks’ new postgame mantra and it’s what has separated Duke from victory in four games already this season. At N.C. State, the most obvious deciding play was Brent Garber’s missed field goal from 65 yards out as time expired. But that was a desperation play that—by Garber’s reckoning—will succeed perhaps one time in 10 from that distance. Three plays earlier, Duke had a much better chance. After the Blue Devils recovered an onside kick at the State 49 with 16 seconds remaining, Adam Smith dropped back and fired a pass to Lance Johnson, who was cutting across the field at the 38. But Smith threw it behind Johnson, who reached back and got his hands on the ball, but could not bring it in. If the pass is complete, Duke has the ball around the 45 with about five seconds left. From there, Garber, who is 3of-6 on 50-60 yard field goals and had blasted 47, 52 and 45 ■Ti yarders earlier, would have a good chance to win the game for Duke. jHL “Our timing was just a little off,” Smith said. “I was really conscious of the time on the clock; Trying to get rid of the ball, *y'1er let him catch it and call a time 0ut.... It was a little behind Rosen him. I think it was a bad throw, most likely. know if he had caught that pass, Brent would have been Game Commentary able to kick it in.” Almost three minutes earlier a single play made the onside kick and desperation field goal necessary. Trailing 17-14 with N.C. State moving the ball and trying to kill the clock, Duke jumped offside. It appeared there was contact before the snap, flags flew and the Blue Devil secondary stopped. But the whistle didn’t blow and Jerricho Cotchery took off down the sideline. By the time the defense reacted, Cotchery had a 10-yard lead, and when Wolfpack quarterback Philip Rivers hit him in stride, the junior wide receiver was on his way to a 53-yard touchdown. In the first quarter Duke drove to the N.C. State 12 and wide receiver Darryl Scott overthrew a pass to a wide open Chris Douglas. Two plays later, the Blue Devils are sacked on fourth-and-one. On Duke’s next possession, Smith underthrew Khary Sharpe on what would likely have been a touchdown, and certainly a first down. One play later, a fake field goal failed miserably, as Garber was tackled immediately after receiving the direct snap. “A field goal, missing a couple touchdown passes, a couple sacks, giving up a couple of long passes, things like that are what games like this come #

down to,” Franks said. “When two teams are competing like that, both teams are going to have mistakes and it’s just going to come down to who can make one more play than the other team. Right now, the other team is finding that one play more than we are.” In the fourth quarter against Virginia, with Duke trailing 16-14, Smith had a first-and-10 pass batted back at him, but rather than batting it down, Smith caught it for a momentum-killing 12-yard loss. Later in the fourth quarter, the defense surrendered its devastating play when the Cavaliers completed a 56-yard touchdown pass after a flea-flicker.

At Northwestern, Duke blew a late lead by fumbling twice and throwing an interception. At Wake Forest, Duke had a field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown and an interception returned for a touchdown that inexorably turned the game against the Blue Devils in the first quarter. By comparison, there were only two games all of last year when the Blue Devils came within a few plays of victory; most games required 20 plays here and 15 plays there for a reversal of outcome. If games were decided by yardage instead of points, the Blue Devils would be 5-3 instead of 2-6, and if they had gained three more yards at Northwestern, they would be 6-2 by these rules. “It’s a bittersweet feeling,” Douglas said. “You’re upset you didn’t win, but at the same time you realize how good this team is getting and you realize we really can play with anybody.” Of course, the one play here or there is the difference between a good football team and one that is surprising, improving or getting good. Good teams make the big plays, or have a cushion built up so a big play ran go against them late in the game and they’ll still win. Duke isn’t there yet, but the comforting connotation of improving is that it will be soon. The Blue Devils are young and fairly inexperienced. Smith had never been in the position where he needed to complete a 10-yard pass in 16 seconds to defeat the No. 12 team in the country. After not being competitive in a while, Duke is now learning what it takes to win close games. Rather than sulking after the heartbreaking loss, the Blue Devils began thinking about next year’s game against the Wolfpack and the four games, all winnable, remaining this season. “This program is turning around,” Douglas said. “A lot of people didn’t believe, and now a lot of people do.”

Highlighted by freshman Caroline Bierbaum, underclassmen made another big impression for the Blue Devils over the weekend. By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

The women’s cross country team finished in a tie for fifth Saturday at the Pre-NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., while the men’s squad finished a disappointing 26th. The women’s squad, ranked 11th nationally, owes its impressive finish to the team’s younger runners, since all five of its scorers were freshmen. Caroline Bierbaum led the way, covering the six-kilometer course in 20:48 as the

12th individual finisher. “Caroline continues to impress people nationwide,” head women’s coach Jan Ogilvie said. “She is clearly one of the top two or three freshman in the country.” The next Blue Devil finishers were Clara Horowitz and Sally Meyerhoff who came in at 31st and 32nd overall with times of 21:18 and 21:20, respectively. Despite such a close finish, the two roommates did not run together. Shannon Rowbury and Laura Stanley rounded out the Duke scoring with their 62nd and 71st place finishes. The team finished tied for fifth with Missouri, at 209 points. The women’s race had a field of 38 teams, including

No. 1 Brigham Young, who won the meet with 55 points. Horowitz was very happy about the team’s finish, especially in light of its timing. “Except for Sally, everyone had a mediocre day, because we’re training hard and it’s the middle of the season.” Horowitz said. Ogilvie emphatically concurred. “When you beat the teams that we did and realize that we still have the ability to be much better than we even were, it’s exciting,” she said. The No. 23 men’s team was led by junior Chris Williams, who logged a 25:00 finish on the 8,000 meter course and earned a 67th-place overall finish. The rest of the team was close behind, with sophomore Michael Hatch, senior Jared Moore, and sophomore Nick Schneider finishing within six seconds of one another. The trio finished 113th, 120th and 126th, respectively. Lan Cronin was the final Duke scorer, with a time of 26:46. The team finished 26th out of 36, with 653 points. Both teams will head to Atlanta Nov. 2 to contend for the ACC championship. Horowitz was enthusiastic about her team’s chances, despite the fact that the Blue Devils have never won the ACC title. “The team goal is definitely to win [the conference title],” Horowitz said, “and if we were to go out there and do our best and have a few outstanding [in• dividual] races, we caftwiftitI.”'

VIRGINIA from page 3 were able to match the Wahoo aggression and add a goal within five min-

utes at 15:26. Trevor Perea, back in action after a one-game red card suspension, flicked a free kick towards the box, where Donald Mclntosh knocked down the ball for Adogwa to tap in and pull Duke within a goal. With Duke back in the game, the two teams tossed and turned with an ACC tournament-like atmosphere before a boisterous crowd of 2,458. “We felt like the game was ours,” Adogwa said. He received one of three yellow cards handed out in a match that also included 20 offsides calls and an astounding 47 fouls. “It was extremely intense,” Mclntosh said. “Really scrappy, with a bunch of injuries and fouls. It was probably the most intense game we’ve played all year.” Coming out after a halftime during which head coach John Rennie took on that same intensity in a lengthy speech, the motivated Blue Devils returned with a purpose, but were slowed on two

see an official call a foul back at midfield, nullifying the score. When shots by Perea and Jordan Cila clanked off the post later in the half, the heated battle seemed to swing back UVa’s way, with Eskandarian’s presence keeping the Cavaliers afloat. At 69:53, the scoring machine lured Trowbridge and the Duke defense out of the box on one of his many shots on the day, leaving Virginia’s Rob Wright alone to chip in the deflection. With a 3-1 victory, the Wahoos had sent the Blue Devils back into the crowded waters of the middle of the ACC standings. From there, coach Rennie and Duke will try to rise and start smooth sailing once again as the regular season begins to wind down. “Like every great team, you win some, you lose some,” said Adogwa, whose Blue Devils travel to Charlotte this weekend for the Big Four Tournament. “But the best teams in the world dig deeper in situations like this. We’ll come together, use all our resources and focus for the next four games. We’re ready for anything, and we’ll play with pride.”

“I am so happy for the seniors that they could have such a big win in their last home game and on Senior Day,” Charlotte head coach Neil Roberts said. “Duke is the best team we have played, but right now our team refuses to lose.” The Blue Devils had three corner kicks to Charlotte’s two. Duke was called for 19 fouls, five less than Charlotte’s 24, and only one offsides compared to the 49ers three. Duke looked strong in the field and the players felt confident about their ability to move the ball. “We played well and moved the ball around,” senior defender Rebecca Smith. “We outplayed and outhustled them and played well as a team.

tests remaining, three of which are against ACC competition. The Blue Devils next face Virginia Wednesday in Charlottesville, Va. They then travel to Chapel Hill Sunday. Their home finale is against High Point Oct. 30. “We are obviously really disappoint-

DEBATE from page 1 The debate took on a harsher tone when the candidates were asked to assess their advertising campaigns. Dole stepped out from behind her podium and explained how she had initially proposed that each campaign put aside $2 million for forums devoted to discussing the issues, in lieu of an ad campaign. Bowles then stepped out from behind his podium, saying, “I think you were being a little disingenuous, Mrs. Dole. Tm willing to have debate after debate after debate.” Dole deflected the criticism, and mockingly responded, “Call me Elizabeth, or ‘Liddy,’ as you did in your ads.” The discussion also addressed the economic slowdown, which has had painful effects in rural North Carolina. Both candidates agreed on the need for a tobacco buyout at the federal level. Bowles pointed to his experience serving on the Rural Prosperity Task Force, emphasizing the importance of equity pools for small businesses and developing infrastructure. “We have got to invest in rural North Carolina if we’re going to get businesses to invest here,” he said. Dole made multiple references to the “Dole Plan,” which lays out her strategy in regards to the buyout and other issues. “Less taxes, less regulation—l want to create jobs and that’s how you do it,” she said. She also stressed the need to curb erosion in textiles, specifically by creating a tracking system to cut down on smuggling. In addition, Dole said she would work to eliminate wasteful federal spending. “I’m going to be the champion of the line-item veto,” she said. Bowles listed a number of ways he would try to create new jobs—ending corporate corruption, restoring confidence in capital markets, investing in public schools and community colleges and blocking bad trade deals. On Social Security, Bowles said that while the system is not facing an immediate threat, action has to be taken to ensure its stability. “We need to balance the federal budget; we’ve done it before and we can do it again.”

ROBERT TAI/THE CHRONICLE

ELIZABETH DOLE (left) AND ERSKINE BOWLES square off in the second and likely final debate of the Senate campaign

Dole countered that more immediate action must be taken—she supports allowing people to put a small percentage of their payroll tax into stock portfolios. Both candidates said they support campaign finance reform, especially immediate disclosure and cutting down on soft money. They also agreed on the importance of education, with Dole stressing the need for local control and accountability and Bowles focusing on increased education funding for early childhood programs and smaller class sizes. “Dole doesn’t talk about her support for vouchers, which takes money out of public schools. We need more resources, not less,” Bowles said. After the debate, the mood was boisterous, with the candidates posing for pictures and supporters chanting. “There’s always more you’d like to say,” Dole said, smiling. She said she does not expect there to be another debate due to prior negotiations, but added, “I’ll talk any time about the issues.”

Bowles said he wished there would be more debates,

adding that he would have liked to talk to Dole about her position on abortion. He also responded to the recent poll that shows Dole leading 50-40. “This is no 10point race,” he said, adding he expected undecided voters to come around to his side. Students from a host of North Carolina colleges, including Duke, turned out to support their candidates. The audience included members of Students for Bowles from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. JeffRaileanu, president ofDuke College Republicans, said Dole came out strongly on specific issues. He was not in the audience, but joined other Students for Dole outside the auditorium to hand out campaign literature. In response to criticism that Dole’s remarks are scripted, Raileanu said it showed her consistency. “She’s laid out a plan that pretty much clarifies everything she stands for,” he said.

FUQUA STUDY

Yosie pointed to the recent Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development’s formal recognition of Responsible Care as one of the world’s leading initiatives for improving environmental, health and safety of people around the world. Lenox originally presented the research in 2000 in the Academy of Management Journal with Andrew King, a professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. Lenox followed up on the research at a conference this year. Over time, the chemical industry as a whole has been cleaning up its act, mainly because of public pressure and increased efficiency in production, Lenox said. The rate at which this improvement has taken place, however, is at the backbone of the problem with Responsible Care, as the rate at which member companies have improved pollution control has been significantly slower than the chemical industry as a whole, according to Lenox’s research. “We took a sample of 1,500 chemical companies and controlled for the variances of the size of the plant and the type of products they produced,” Lenox said. Since there are few costs associated with Responsible Care, as well as no mechanisms for enforcement of regulations, Lenox questions the efficacy of such policy programs. “I’m skeptical of the prospects of industry self-regulation, but I recognize that there are strategies which can solve the current problems,” he said. In spite of these findings, members of Responsible Care, such as the Georgia-Pacific Corporation, still consider the program effective. Meg Fligg, a manager of the corporate communications division of Georgia-Pacific, said her company believes in Responsible Care’s goals. However, she could not offer specifics on its compliance. The Environmental Working Group, a non-profit environmental research organization, finds the Responsible Care program ineffective. “To judge by its professed principles, Responsible Care is a failure. The chemical industry has continued its historic pattern of resisting and undermining government regulations,” said EWG spokesperson Jon Corsiglia.

KENAN-FLAGLER vest money,” said Fuqua Professor Campbell Harvey. Harvey is the faculty adviser to Fuqua’s Finance Club, which manages money from the Reynolds Fund, the same fund used by Kenan-Flagler. Unlike KenanFlagler, Fuqua does not have a course that manages the fund’s money.. “There is not enough money to get a diversified portfolio,” he said. If the Reynolds Fund were larger, Harvey said he would consider creating a course like Gultekin’s to apply the skills learned in his stock selection courses. However, he added that “having the actual money

SACES from page 1 promise might be the most appropriate choice. “There’s the usual danger of one-size-fits-all,” Bonk said. “And maybe one size doesn’t fit all in this case.” Online course evaluations lose some of their value if professors have to actively request to post information, said Alan Biermann, professor and chair of computer science. “I want that freshman student who feels insignificant who took course XYZ to have a chance to express [himself], and I want the other student who feels insignificant who might take that course to hear what the first student said,” Biermann said. Course evaluations—and specifically whether to publicize the results online—have had a rollercoaster history with the council. In 1998, the council approved the first online evaluation system—Duke Undergraduates Evaluate Teaching—to replace the Teacher Course Evaluation Book, which many students complained was incomplete. DUET, however, was discontinued in September 1999, after faculty members expressed concerned with negative stu-

dent comments. Duke Student Government took up the project again that fall and proposed a system called Views and Online Information through Course Evalua-

would be useful as an applied exercise ofthe tools [students] have learned; it is not a substitute for the tools as it might be in some other schools,” he said. Fuqua Professor Michael Bradley said that applied management courses would only serve to teach “the vernacular of how the markets work,” not the theoretical science behind finance. “To have money on the line is not really a valuable pedagogical endeavor,” he said. In addition, Bradley said that such programs are becoming antiquated across the nation, citing Duke as an example. “More schools are moving away from trading clubs in general,” he said. “The lack of direct faculty support at [Duke] is indicative ofthe absence ofsuch a program’s benefit.”

tions later that year. In May 2000, however, VOICE met with the council’s rejection. By May 2001, Thompson and DSG developed SAGES and replaced the old “green sheets” with machine-readable evaluation forms. The council approved the evaluation system and granted a trial run for putting the results online. It extended the trial last January, on the condition that the council’s permanent vote on SAGES would come this fall. Robert Wolpert, professor of statistics and decision

sciences, spoke against the system last year, and said that the evaluation itself, not its online availability, concerned him. He said he would like the evaluations to target the intellectual stimulation of classes. “I’m happy to have evaluations online, but I don’t think the current instruments give evaluation—they give popularity,” Wolpert said. In evaluating classes during the past year, students’ choices most strongly correlated a course’s overall quality with its intellectual stimulation, not the perception of the course’s difficulty or amount of work, Thompson said. “That’s what happens when students fill these out, and I expect that is what they do when they choose courses as well,” he said.

Thompson maintained that the other indicators also had value. “Sometimes, if students have three very demanding courses, they may need one that is less demanding,” he said.

strictly philosophical inquiry.” What is

unclear, however, is whether academic research with no commercial applications falls under this definition. When the case first went to district court in 2001, the University succeeded, arguing that its use of the patented equipment fell under the experimentaluse exception and that it was exempt from patent laws because the research was conducted “under the authority of a government research grant.”

Madey appealed, arguing that since the University “is in the business ofobtaining grants and developing possible commercial applications for the fruits of its academic research” it should not be

exempted. In remanding the case, the appeals court agreed with Madey that the district court incorrectly shifted to him the burden to prove Duke’s use ofthe equipment did not fall under the experimental-use exception when it was the University’s burden to prove such an exception. “I do not think that this month’s appeal’s court ruling was particularly exceptional,” Madey wrote in an e-mail from the University of Hawaii-Manoa,

type of precedent could be set if a judge rules otherwise. “We’re concerned about this [decision], since the new interpretation could limit not only Duke but all universities in the United States in their ability to carry out research that serves the public in so many ways,” said David Jarmul, associate vice president for news. He added that the University i$ still considering whether to appeal the most recent decision. “We continue to think the University’s position is correct, in terms of the experimental-use issue and also because this research was authorized by the government,” Jarmul said. ‘We look forward to the courts resolving the issue accordingly and will hold off making any major changes in Duke’s research practices until the picture becomes clearer.” Officials at FEL declined requests for interviews. The case has drawn attention from the academic community beyond Duke, with patent experts keeping a careful eye on it. “Cases that involve universities and the experimental-use exception are relatively rare,” said Andrew Chin, an associate professor and patent expert at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill law school. “This is going to be a pret-

1993

North Korea’s nukes

Two

weeks ago, North Korea admitted it has been covertly running a nuclear weapons program in defiance of a 1994 arms control accord that pledged American and European energy in exchange for a North Korean freeze on nuclear weapons development. That North Korean leaders spend their already-pitiful revenues to build a nuclear program and not to feed a population paralyzed by famine and stagnant economic growth is a human tragedy. North Korea’s about face should come as no surprise—policymakers in Congress and in the White House have known for a long time that Kim Jong 11, North Korea’s dictator, has had an interest in making his otherwise-crippled nation a nuclear power. In response to the recent revelation, the United States has so far acted in a responsible, sober-headed and deliberate manner. The decision to withdraw from the 1994 accord makes sense. Additionally, the United States should use diplomatic influence to seek the support of the international community in rebuking North Korea and imposing even harsher economic aid sanctions on the autarchic North Korean government, squeezing possibly the world’s worst economy into compliance. The United States must lead the global community in delivering North Korea’s leaders a choice —either continue building nuclear weapons or get the energy they need to power their blackout-prone country. American leaders should appeal especially to China, whose economic interests in Asia are threatened by the destabilizing actions of a nuclear despot. A unified international response would do more to convince North Korea to halt its nuclear program than would bombing Yongbyon, the nuclear testing facility. At the same time, South Korea’s efforts to work productively with North Korea should not be halted. The progress Kim Dae Jung has made over his term as South Korean president is significant, perhaps most importantly allowing North Korea a path to eventual international engagement as a responsible nation. Kim Jong 11, less than a decade in power, has been more accommodating than his father to South Korean concerns and recently established a capitalist investment zone. But the North Korean regime has much work to do before it can be accepted into the global society—ending its nuclear weapons program is at the top of that list, along with instituting greater human rights and democratic reform. Many critics of President George W. Bush’s policies regarding Iraq have drawn comparisons with North Korea’s attempts to build nuclear weapons. The Bush administration should treat the two problems as they are—separate problems with their own idiosyncrasies—although the situations do have some similarities. As it further develops its policies toward Iraq and North Korea, the administration should not let the approach in one situation tie its hands in the other, but the president should strive for consistency. One approach should inform the other. The final result of American policy should be that both nations end their programs to create weapons of mass destruction and that neither country has the capability to threaten regional or global security.

Letters to

the editor

University violated protesters’ freedom of speech The expulsion of two fundamentalist Christian protesters Thursday is a disgrace to this University and this country. Don’t get me wrong, according to these guys logic, I’m every bit as burdened with eternal damnation as the next guy, but that is totally beside the point and would never stop me from allowing them to practice their First Amendment rights. The fact that some within the Duke community were so insecure that they saw fit to trample on these men’s Constitutional rights is particularly disturbing and maddening to me when I reflect on the multitude of times every single day at this school that I must “suck it up” in the name of respecting other people’s freedom of speech. In

only the past few weeks, I’ve

stood by while people call our president a “babykiller” as well as when this University uses my money to sponsor a make-out session. Are these things that I view as pleasant additions to Main West Campus? Do they please me? No, but I respect their rights as Americans to take these actions that “upset passersby” such as myself. I wish, in the latter case, that my money would be excluded from my annoyance, but the rights of those involved remain the same. I walked by during

Thursday’s “demonstration” and it wasn’t a big deal at all. The only reason it could be reported that there were a 100 people outside of Alpine is because the area always has at least a 100 people there at noon on Thursdays. When I

came upon the protesters in question there was no solicitation going on. If someone shouting “sinners repent” is to be construed as solicitation, people shouting “make peace not war” or asking for toleration of homosexuals is equally

inappropriate.

Therefore I must ask—since when has it been against the law to “speak loudly” or “upset passersby?” This event just further reaffirms my strong opinion that all this crap about “dialogue” is the inane leftist pile it appears to be. The hypocrisy ofthose who would call themselves “liberal” and deny people their basic liberties never fails to amuse, disgust and anger me. Mark Boyd Trinity ’O4

New campus group promotes sensible drug policy It has come to my attention that DSG recently chartered a Duke chapter of Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, a national organization. From a public policy standpoint, there are many benefits to having a club like this on our campus. A necessary dialogue will be raised about the costs and benefits associated with the United States’ war on drugs. Impugning the war on drugs is an ever-growing phenomenon. worldwide

The role of rhetoric at PCU Academia’s stifling of opposing opinions prevent meaningful debate and exchange What are the standards, written and unwritten, that govern debate at Duke? On paper they aren’t too bad. Indeed the ACLU would probably step in if they were. It is fairly hard to get slapped with a disciplinary hearing for voicing unpopular views. The unwritten code of conduct, howev- W er, and the tacit assumptions shared by w a good part of the student body, faculty and

forgiving, one might English even say illiberal. There is a lot of The Critical Theory speech that people don’t ,

think should be tolerated, this despite the idolatrous deference those same individuals show to the concept of tolerance. It is this paradox that makes such standards so odious. The very people who consider themselves the avantgarde of free, progressive thinking take the most close-minded and thuggish attitudes towards any person who dares express opinions contrary to their own. This two-faced hypocrisy, so widely shared, creates a campus culture that is truly hostile to a free exchange of ideas and poisonous to Duke’s attempt at approaching the status of an institution ofhigher learning. There are dogmas on this campus, dogmas more sacred to the status quo than any religious orthodoxy, but certainly not as divinely inspired; and the herd of vocal, “free thinking” individuals that espouse these dogmas are not interested in letting the critical dissent of other voices gain any prominence. Now, certainly, in many corners of this University there is no free thought statute of limitations whatsoever.

THE SECOND GUNMAN misses his flight “HAPPY FALL BREAK!! I’LL MISS YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!” Such sentiments were heard all over campus before fall break. THE SECOND GUNMAN would like to make it known that he did not miss anyone over fall break. It was a solid four days. Please. Anyone that missed

someone can be qualified as an overemotion-feeler. These are the same people that probably thought Jasen t-ttc q'corv'vrrv SiICAJiNIJ Liu’s attempt at forming whole senGUNMAN, fences in his “Engineers Unite” column last week was “cute.” Jasen, Monday, Monday your column had what we call the “George Bush effect” on Trinity-Pratt relations. Your existence is wasting valuable oxygen. My grandchildren will need that some day. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. THE SECOND GUNMAN would also like to inform readers that this will be a particularly bitter column seeing that my flight was canceled because Southwest “cannot find” the airplane. Do these things get misplaced frequently? An airline with no planes is like a kegger with no taps. Anybody else hear about “Corrs and Smoors?” Do planes with people on them ever get misplaced? What about plans for the student village? I’m pretty sure those got misplaced. Or maybe Moneta was just bulls—ing to begin with, so there never was a plan. Regardless, construction behind the BC was halted because LMo again met his monthly quota for screwups. THE SECOND GUNMAN will now rant about airports, starting with the men’s room. You line a bunch of guys up at the urinal and, all of a sudden, everyone’s eyes are staring straight down, like this is the first time you ever took a whiz, or that some-

thing is drastically different and this one is more interesting then your other 7 trillion. Did your 8 iron all of a sudden become a 3 wood? The golf team guys ate that one up, I swear. Bad news guys, this urinal plays the same way as all the others, aim down a little and watch for splatter—you didn’t need Tiger Woods for that one now did you? Which reminds me, anyone who decides to install a “trough” style receptacle should be shot. Another favorite airport phenomenon of mine is the need for everyone to wear a cell phone headset. For a second I thought I may have wandered into a high security fast-food drive-thru operators’ convention. What’s the deal with these assholes? It’s too much work to hold up three ounces of plastic? Four rings and you can’t get it to your ear in time? All the sudden the guy next to you lights up and is jabbering away in another language. The only thing that could possibly excite someone this much is a Delta flight that’s on time. Meanwhile you’re saying to yourself, “Don’t look now, I hope he isn’t really talking to me.” While still annoying, this could be just the thing to prevent all conversation on the BC walkway. Just stare into the distance, take a deep breath and start jabbering. Airport food prices are wet sand in my bathing suit. Do they ship that crap first-class? (Nice alliteration.) I paid two dollars for a bottle of Coke. In this respect, airports are like Canada. The minute you set foot in RDU/Canada/LAX, the dollar buys 60 cents worth of food and all you can think of is how much you want to leave such an awful place. Now that I think about it, the same thing applies when you get back to campus after fall break. Also, how can there only be one available electric outlet for five gates? Was RDU designed before electricity? Along the same lines, was the WEL designed before

there was water? Sure, the construction masters decided not to install any drinking fountains, but don’t worry. If you need water fast, just start rearranging the towels on that upper shelf. I like how they just put warning stickers on the sprinkler heads, rather than fix them. That’s what I love about Duke. The folks at housing are always willing to go the extra mile. This is the part where I’m supposed to make fun of Burig, but I just don’t have it in me right now. That’s all I have on airports. I will now wax poetic on my growing psychic powers. We flash back to the second week of September, when this very column read, “Additionally, only those students who purchased a Blue Zone pass will be allowed in the lots. This eliminates the threatening presence of ‘non-drivers’ and poor people. Remember, they made a conscious choice to not participate in the Blue Zone community.” Obviously the administration has been taking our column seriously, as your DukeCard will no longer open the about-to-be-broken-a-hell-of-a lot-more gate arm. You all should hope and pray that my remaining predictions do not come true, as I spent my fall break in an orange jumpsuit, learning to read the stars with Dionne Warwick. Nevermind the circumstances under which we met. Without further ado, the forecasts: Cancer: Your anonymous humor column will bomb, and the entire student body will know you’ve been slacking off. You had an entire fall break to write this, and it sucks. Libra: Girls, as horrible as it may seem, Alpine will run out of FroYo and every salad establishment anywhere will close. Pisces: Your sign is a fish. What a loser! Gemini; You’re gonna die twice. O’Doyle Rules.
