Recruit Deng chooses Duke

Sprint to the Finish

� A source close to the men’s basketball team told The Chronicle that the No. 2 player in the national Class of 2003 will commit to the Blue Devils today. By EVAN DAVIS The Chronicle

Luol Deng is headed to Durham. A source close to the men’s basketball team told The Chronicle Monday night that Deng, who is rated as the No. 1 small forward and No. 2 player overall in the Class of 2003 by the Sporting News, will commit to Duke today. Deng will announce his decision at a noon press conference at his high school, Blair

Academy (N.J.). Deng, who stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 217 pounds, averaged 22 points and 12 rebounds last season at Blair. His decision comes less

than two weeks after an official visit to Duke, which lasted from Oct. 25 to 27, and gave Deng the opportunity to watch the Blue-White scrimmage in Cameron. Deng will choose Duke over Indiana, Virginia and Missouri—the three

By TYLER ROSEN Monday was a good day for the women’s basketball team. First, word circulated that Brittany Hunter, the All Star Girl’s Report’s top-ranked recruit in the country, had verbally committed to the Blue Devils Sunday afternoon. Then, the preseason AP poll was released with Duke heading the list. Hunter, who ASGR’s Bret McCormick described as a “very physical” player, is a 6-foot-3 senior at Brookhaven High School in Colum-

ber, Dole led Bowles by 14 percentage points in a Mason-Dixon poll. In another Mason-Dixon poll released Sunday, Bowles had whittled that lead down to 6 points.

Chavez supporters attack marchers U.S. officials fear Venezuelan political instability may disrupt vital oil production By JAMES ANDERSON. The Associated Press

CARACAS, Venezuela An opposition march, demanding an early vote on Hugo Chavez’s presidency, erupted in chaos Monday as government supporters attacked the marchers and police tried to break it up with tear gas and rubber bullets. At least 16 people were wounded, including three police officers. More than 60 others sustained minor injuries in a series of street battles between police protecting the tens ofthousands of marchers and the hundreds of Chavez backers, known as Chavistas, authorities said. The others wounded during the fracas were 13 civilians, said Pedro

Aristimuno, heath secretary of the Caracas city government. The march was aimed at delivering more than two million signatures demanding a vote on Chavez’s presidency. Venezuela’s opposition, determined to oust Chavez for allegedly creating a totalitarian regime, threatened to start an indefinite general strike that could affect oil processing in the world’s fifth largest producer. Monday’s violence underscored

Venezuela’s deepening political impasse between the leftist Chavez government and a burgeoning opposition intent on ousting the president. It also highlighted international concern over the stability of the oil producer. The impasse over the vote has con-

vulsed Venezuela and raised the specter of a second military coup since April—or even civil war. Venezuela is a major U.S. oil supplier. Chavez has irked president George W. Bush’s administration in the past with his suspected ties with leftist Colombian rebels, his close friendship with Cuba’s Fidel Castro and his opposition to hemispheric free trade. Throughout,. however,

Chavez has insisted Venezuela will remain a reliable supplier of crude oil to the United States.

81st suicide bombing terrorizes Israel By GREG MYRE

The Associated Press

A Palestinian suicide attacker blew JERUSALEM himself up Monday while grappling with an Israeli security guard at a shopping mall in a Tel Aviv suburb, killing the guard and another civilian and wounding 12 other people, including two infants. The bombing—the 81st by Palestinian militants in two years—marked a first test for Israel’s new defense minister, Shaul Mofaz, who was sworn in Monday. Mofaz, known for his hawkish views, advocates the expulsion of Yasser Arafat and tough military action against the Palestinians. There was no immediate indication of any Israeli retaliation, but it has struck back militarily for previous suicide bombings.

Against the backdrop ofviolence, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s government fended off three no-confidence votes. Sharon rejected calls for early elections and was searching for partners to stabilize his coalition. Sharon lost his majority last week when the moderate Labor Party quit. In the Monday evening bombing, the assailant, identified as Nabil Sawalha, 20, from thd Balata refugee camp next to the West Bank city of Nablus, blew himself up in a shopping mall in Kfar Saba, a town northeast of Tel Aviv just across from the West Bank Palestinian town of Qalqiliya. Palestinian militants linked to Arafat’s Fatah movement in Nablus claimed responsibility for the attack, contradicting an earlier report ascribing the blast to Islamic Jihad. See ISRAEL on page 8

Senior registration allays security fear � During last spring’s senior class registration, some students were able to enter others’ online

accounts, but technology officials call this

year’s experience a success. By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

Last Friday’s senior registration was the most efficient registration on the books, according to data collected by University technology officials. The success, they said, comes as a relief after malfunctions in the ACES Web system last spring allowed some seniors to log in inadvertently to other students’ accounts during seniors’ registration window. This year, by 7:05 a.m., 336 seniors were able to register, the fastest registration the Office of Information and Technology has seen to date. “We were very happy with the way it worked out,” said Chris Cramer, the University information technology security officer. Last March, OITreceived eight official complaints, and many more informal comments, from seniors who logged on to ACES Web and entered other students’ accounts. Officials said that most seniors experiencing the structural errors immediately logged off and attempted to access the correct account so they could register, easing concerns that the erred log-ins pose serious threats to student privacy. “Essentially none of the students [were] overly upset [last spring],” Cramer said. “There were one or two students that the registrar needed to work with but in general everyone was very understanding.” Unlike registration windows for other classes, which are staggered and facilitate between three hundred and four hundred students at any given time, the senior registration window is used simultaneously by the entire class, which translates into 1500 eligible students potentially trying to register at once. Consequently, measures have been taken to ensure that OIT is better equipped to respond to any error log-ins that may occur in the future. “We are capturing a lot more diagnostics this go around,” said Chris Meyer, director of information technology at OIT. ‘We are logging a lot more information when students access ACES.” Although OIT and the Office ofthe Registrar conSee SENIORS on page 8

A'SIGN ON THE VESIC LIBRARY DOOR advises students and faculty members that the library is closed due to mold found in the stacks. Until the library reopens, users are able to order materials from other area institutions.

Mold discovery shuts down library Vesic Library to reopen after specialists clean affected books By ANDREW CARD The Chronicle

An unlikely foe has recently barred students and faculty members from entering sections of the Vesic Library for Engineering, Mathematics and Physics—mold. Mold discovered on an unspecified number of books in early October caused University officials to seal-off the library’s first and third floors, which contain about 100,000 volumes ofmaterial in the physical sciences and mathematics. “The presence of mold on the books can be attributed to the relatively high levels of humidity in the stack area,” said director of Oc-

cupational and Environmental

Safety Wayne Thomann. “If you get

high enough water activity in the bindings, that will create mold.” Stressing that the stacks in Vesic were closed merely as a precautionary measure, Winston Atkins, a preservation officer for the Duke library system, said contact with the mold would not pose an imminent threat. Exposure to mold can result in a variety of reactions, including coughing, sneezing, eye irritation and the onset of asthma attacks. Thomann said the only health-related problems yet to result from exposure to the mold involved a librarian and another Duke employee who both experienced brief periods of eye irritation. “We did not have a concern with

the general air levels, but if someone picked up a book with mold on it, he or she could have a more significant exposure,” Thomann said. Vesic is not the first Duke library to fall victim to mold infestation. University Librarian David Ferriero said that mold was discovered in the School of Law Library as recently as five years ago, and in the Divinity School stacks just this past summer. “We are now looking at the relative humidity in all the libraries,” Thomann said. “The question we need to answer is whether or not something altered the relative humidity in the buildSee MOLD on page 8

City Council spars on crime grant use � The Council addressed a range

of issues at its meeting Monday night, drawing the most heated discussion over the Durham Police Department’s effective use of funding. By JOSH NIMOCKS The Chronicle

The City Council’s discussion ofthe spending plan for a law enforcement grant prompted some criticism of the Durham Police Department’s role in combating crime at a Monday night council meeting. Since 1996, Durham has received a biennial law enforcement block grant from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance and recently received the grant for this fiscal year. Interim Police Chief Steve Chalmers explained the police department’s spending plan for the grant, pending the council’s approval. Sixty-eight percent of the $337,476 grant will fund crime reduction programs while the other 32 percent will pay for new police equipment, a change from the phst plan, in which less money had gone to prevention programs. City Council member Tamra Edwards expressed concern over the methods employed to handle Durham’s crime and the police department’s relevance in improving the situation. “We need to look at how we can be more proactive in addressing these issues both punitively and rehabilitatively,” Edwards said. “What are we doing to look at what is causing [our youth] to go in that direction in the first place?” Edwards said the “reactive” police department may not be the right vehicle to provide progressive services to the community. Chalmers also fielded comments from Erica Peterson, a local community resident and the only speaker from the audience who criticized the police department. “When do we become important?” said Peterson, claiming that the police department has been ignoring the African-American community in its efforts to improve relations with the Latino

ELECTION 2002 VOTER GUIDE

A look at the races Durham residents will see on their ballots in today’s election Durham County

U.S. Senate � Erskine Bowles (D) � Elizabeth Dole (R) � Sean Haugh (L)

Polls show consistently that this race is one of the closest in the nation, and is all the more important as Senate control is currently divided evenly 49-49 between Democrats and Republicans, with one independent voting with the Democrats. Dole, a two-time Cabinet secretary in the Reagan and Bush administrations, former president of the American Red Cross, and a short-lived candidate for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, has never held public office. Neither has her opponent, Bowles, former Clinton administration chief of staff. The two have run one of the most expensive campaigns in history to succeed longtime Sen. Jesse Helms (R), and have focused on tax policy, trade protection and Social Security in their campaigns. The Senate term is six years.

must be able to simultaneously combat each of these subtypes and head off any new genetic mutations AIDS develops. The Medical Center is collaborating with Los Alamos National Laboratory on a method that analyzes the different strains of HIV and strategically engineers the protein coat—called a consensus sequence—that represents a middle ground between the original strains. “You can start with a 30 percent difference between strains A and B, but the consensus sequence difference from each is now only 15 percent,” Gao said. “This is one of the best ways to tackle

the genetic variation.” This year marks the half-way point of former president Bill Clinton’s 1997 challenge to the medical community to develop an HIV vaccine within a decade. Although unsteady progress marked the field after the virus’ discovery in 1984, recent advances are seen as encouraging. “We’re making progress. Three of the five problems are solved,” Haynes said. “I’m guardedly optimistic that we’re going to solve the other two soon.” Meanwhile, with one eye to the national campaign, state politicians are warily watching to see who will control the General Assembly after tonight’s election. Redistricting and budget concerns have endangered the Democrats’ control of both of the assembly’s chambers. Currently, the Democrats have a 3515majority in the Senate, but control the House by a much slimmer 62-58 margin. Both Lowell and Woods said the main focus for volunteers at campaign headquarters was to encourage voting from both parties via phone and other means. “We are working hard to get people to vote,” Woods said. “If you don’t vote, do not open your mouth to complain.”

lot of minor fixes or ‘patches’ to the hardware and software,” Cramer said. “No specific patch was supposed to be the cure for the smoking gun, but some combination of not having those patches may have been related.” He added that the slightly faster registration can probably be attributed to therandom nature of users accessing a system associated with student log-ins and is not a result of administrative alterations.

Seniors generally expressed satisfaction with this year’s

registration. “It went fine,” said senior Lori Brockman. “I got up at 6:45 [a.m.] and registered at 7. Registration only took me around 2 minutes.” Other seniors said that registration was inconvenient, but none of the inconveniences cited concerned technical

difficulties.

“Registering at 7 in the morning is like a bad dream,” said senior Mike Connolly.

Barrage of 3-pointers leads Duke past Nike By CATHERINE SULLIVAN

Air conditioning was installed in Cameron Indoor Stadium last summer, but after Duke’s 103-63 win against Team Nike, it is evident the Blue Devils have not cooled off much. After losing three All-ACC players from last season, Duke had many wondering who would continue the fire that made Cameron a blue hell for the rest of the country. Many analysts predicted that junior guard Chris Duhon would add more scoring to his play-making ability, Dahntay Jones and Daniel Ewing would have breakout years and that Duke would SPlf**

After a basket by former Temple player Will Cunningham gave Nike a 2-0 lead to open the game, Duke used a barrage of three-point shots from veterans Dahntay Jones, Daniel Ewing and Nick Horvath to take a commanding 15-2 lead and set the tone for the rest of the night.

Gilman leads volleyball to 3-2 victory over Terps By PAULA LEHMAN The Chronicle

The volleyball. team (21-6, 9-3 in the ACC) ruined Maryland’s hopes for an upset, pulling out a this weekend at Ritchie Coliseum in College Park, Md. The Terrapins (16-12, 5-8) pushed the match to five games, but in the end the Blue Devils’ offense showed that it can dominate when necessary. “This was an important win for us,” Duke head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We needed to execute and block so we could play defense against their hitters. In game five we had good defensive plays and made good decisions offensively to secure the match. We’re excited to come away with a win because Maryland is a very good team.” Maryland came out strong Tn the first game, overwhelming Duke with its offense and capitalizing on the Blue Devils’ errors en route to a 30-24 win. In the next two games, however, the Blue Devils showed their commanding offensive strength. With senior co-captain Krista Dill, out due to injury, the Duke players each stepped up their game. Katie Gilman led the team with 17 kills in the match, including three ofthe last five points to give Duke the win in the second game 30-28 and knot the score at

1-1.

“The second game was a real turning point for us,” said co-captain Jill Sonne. “We fought back and ended up winning the game by a real narrow margin. It ultimately allowed us to take the match to five games.” After Duke took the third game 30-22 to lead the match 2-1, the momentum shifted in the fourth game as the Terps won the first four points and nine of the first eleven. Duke’s intensity dropped, allowing Maryland’s star player Lynnsy Jones—who posted a team-high 21 kills throughout the match—to lead her team to 30-19 victory in the fourth game. But when the match was on the line, the Blue Devils stepped up. Duke took the final game 15-8 to eke out a 3-2 victory over the Terps. Sunday’s win left Duke in third place in the ACC and extended the Blue Devils’ winning streak to seven matches. Boosted by the streak and a confident team that continues to improve with each game, Sonne noted that Duke is focusing on the immediate future, though it continues to keep a collective eye on repeating as conference champions in late November. “We’re taking one game at a time, but we do have hopes for a championship,” Sonne said. ‘We still focusing on preparing to take on UNC and Georgia Tech again and just do as much as we can to better ourselves in the ACC standings.”

Both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams traveled to Charlottesville, Va., this weekend to

face Virginia in a dual meet. The Cavaliers sunk both Blue Devil squads in the match, downing the men 126101 and the women 128-104. The loss drops both the men’s and women’s team’s records to 0-3 overall, and 0-2 in the ACC. “It was hard to stay focused on winning,” junior Lauren Hancock said. “It was about having fun and getting timed out there. Considering the past two weeks of practice we had and the four-hour bus ride down there, it went pretty well.”

the, ACC’s power-

house in the sport and Duke does not give scholarships to swimmers—it is the only team in the ACC not to do so—the Blue Devils approached the meet as an opportunity to time themselves in certain events and to let some athletes try new events. Despite the adversity, some Blue Devils did quite well against the

favored Cavaliers. On the women’s side, three Duke freshmen won their respective events: Alison Sundberg in the 100 freestyle (54.34), Julie Granger in the 100 backstroke (1:04.21) and Nora Strup in the 100 breaststroke (1:08.08). Hancock scored nine points for her team with her 500 freestyle time of

(1:00.62), respectively. The men’s 200 freestyle team, composed of sophomore Teddy Heifers, freshman Joe Wiese, and juniors Matt Olmsted and Chris Brede, also placed first with a time of 1:29.16. Up next for both Blue Devil teams is a meet against Towson and Old Dominion in Baltimore Saturday.

5:14.12, and the 200 freestyle relay team of freshman Caroline Kluczkowski, sophomore Chrissy Anderson, senior Lauren Afflixio and junior Suzie Borgschulte scored eleven points for their efforts. In the meet’s other races, the men’s team had five first place victories when

Brede and Hancock think their teams have a good chance of breaking into the win column next week. “We are really looking forward to racing a team we can compete with,”

Ohio State leapfrogs Miami in new BCS standings By ANDREA SZULSZTEYN The Associated Press

Look who’s No. 2 in the new Bowl Championship Series standings. Ohio State, helped by a big quality win over Washington State earlier this year and Miami’s drop in The Associated Press poll, has overtaken the Hurricanes in the standings released Monday. The Buckeyes jumped three spots and nudged past defending champion Miami, which remained unbeaten while posting its school-record 30th straight win Saturday, 42-17 over Rutgers. But the Hurricanes had to rally in the fourth quar-

ter, and that cost them. Oklahoma remained No. 1

while Ohio State moved into second with 5.57 points, 0.44 ahead of Miami. The top two teams in the final BCS standings released Dec. 8 will play in the national title game at the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., on Jan. 3. “We are proud of what our young men have done to date,” Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. “But we know if we don’t play our best road game of the year at Purdue, we won’t be No. 2 next week.” Ohio State has a 6.17 composite total, compared to Miami’s 6.01. But the Buckeyes got a 0.6 deduction for a 25-7 victory over Washington State Sept. 14. Miami has no bonus-point deductions.

The quality win deductions were added last year after Miami failed to make the national championship game over Florida State following the 2000 season despite beating the Seminoles earlier in the year. The Hurricanes’ struggles against lowly Rutgers dropped them to No. 2 in the AP media poll. A component ofthe BCS standings includes the average of the AP media and coaches poll. Miami is No. 1 in the coaches poll, giving it a 1.5 poll average. If Miami had stayed No. 1 in both polls, its poll average would have been I—putting the Hurricanes 0.06 points ahead of the Buckeyes. “I can’t be overly concerned about what the pollsters do,” Miami coach Larry Coker said Monday about the AP media poll. “First of all it will be easy to rate us

if we don’t play better. The thing we have to do is make sure we get it corrected and win the games. If we do that, the polls will take care of themselves. “I know that sounds like a broken record, but I really believe it’s true.” Miami (8-0) trailed 17-14 entering the fourth quar-

ter at Rutgers. Oklahoma (8-0), meanwhile, dominated then-No. 13 Colorado 27-11, and that was enough to change the poll. The Hurricanes lost 27 first-place votes to Oklahoma and had their record run of 21 consecutive polls at No. 1 snapped. “Nobody wants us in the national championship game,” Miami tailback Willis McGahee said. “The minute we lose we’ll probably fall down to No. 10. I don’t know why there are so many haters.” The BCS formula uses the AP media and coaches’ polls, computer polls, strength of schedule, win-loss

record and a bonus-point system. Oklahoma has 2.04 points—l.s for poll average, 1 for computer-rank average, 0.24 for strength of schedule, zero for losses and a 0.7 deduction for a victory over Texas. Ohio State has 5.57 points—3 for polLaverage, 2.33 for computer-rank average, 0.84 for strength of schedule and a 0.6 deduction for the victory over

Washington State. Miami has 6.01 points—l.s for poll average, 2.67 for computer-rank average, 1.84 for schedule rank and no bonus-point deduction. Texas is fourth at 10.03 followed by Washington State (13.05) and Georgia (15.03). Notre Dame dropped four spots to No. 7 with 15.33 points after losing to Boston College. In the next few weeks, the Hurricanes have a chance of passing the Buckeyes. Their strength of schedule will go up with games at Tennessee (5-3) this week, then No. 22 Pittsburgh (7-2), Syracuse (3-6) and No. 8 Virginia Tech (8-1). Big wins in any ofthose games could put them back at No. 1 in the AP poll as well. Ohio State, meanwhile, has games remaining at

DENG from page 1 other finalists on his list of schools. Deng, whose brother Ajou currently plays basketball at Fairfield after transferring from Connecticut, will join Kris Humphries in comprising Duke’s Class of 2007. Humphries, a 6-foot-9 forward from Minnesota, committed to the Blue Devils in May. He is ranked eighth by the Sporting News. Deng’s commitment is a substantial boost for Duke, which lost a recruiting battle over forward Ndudi Ebi last month. Ebi, a 6-foot-10 forward from Luol Deng Houston, chose Arizona over the Blue Devils, Texas and Houston. By landing Deng, Duke will obtain a player who can potentially step into the role that will be vacated next

year by senior Dahntay Jones. Deng is known for his defensive abilities, and will likely be used to shadow the opposing team’s most prolific scorer. Deng’s arrival in Durham will be the latest in a series of stops that has covered three continents and thousands of miles. Deng was born in Sudan, but has lived in Egypt and England before coming to the United States to attend Blair Academy. Deng, who was 6-foot-5 as he began his freshman year, has grown over the past three years. Now three inches taller, Deng combines his size, ballhandling ability and leadership qualities on the basketball court. As team captain at Blair, Deng has led his squad to two league titles, as well as the state finals last year. His teammate, Charlie Villanueva, is also a highly-sought recruit and will announce his college choice today as well. Although next year will be the first time that Deng wears the Duke jersey, it will not be his first time playing on Duke’s campus, as Blair Academy plays Bishop O’Connell in Cameron Indoor Stadium Jan. 11. And then, seven months later, Deng will return to Durham—this time to stay.

MEN’S BASKETBALL,..page 11 they’re facing the basket with stand-still shots. “Our big guys are real unselfish, so when you hit in they can relocate pretty well. Our threes were open shots, but I’m not sure that we’ll get that against a more organized team. These guys are good players, but they haven’t practiced much together as a team.” When the Blue Devils did choose to go inside against Team Nike, their big men responded well. Randolph led Duke with 19 points on 8-of-ll shooting, while Williams chipped in with 13 points and eight rebounds. The strong inside presence of Randolph and Williams—who started for Duke along with Duhon, Jones and Ewing—add versatility. to the Blue Devils’ offense. “We just take what the defense gives us,” Duhon said. “We’re going to be more of a balanced team this year where we can go inside or outside. Other teams just can’t be concerned about the perimeter. We have a lot of talented big men who can score down there and give us an inside presence.” The inside game against Team Nike was bolstered by the strong play of Duhon, who turned in the only double-double of the night with 10 points and 10 assists, including eight in the first half alone. Duhon, who was chosen as the ACC preseason Player of the Year, attempted only five shots but was very effective in his role as floor leader. Chris Duhon “I thought Duhon really ran our team well tonight, pushing it up, pressuring the ball and playing with a lot of energy,” Krzyzewski said. “I think we all responded to it. Just that enthusiasm to play rubs off on the other guys. Duhon’s role has nothing to do with shots. Duhon’s role has to do with Duke having more points than the other team.” In addition to its offensive output, Duke played its trademark tough defense, holding Team Nike to 33 percent shooting in the first half and 38 percent for the game. Nike’s leading scorer, guard Darren Kelly of Texas, managed just 13 points on the night. Cunningham and Cordell Henry were the only other Nike players to reach double figures, scoring 12 and 11 points, respectively. Duke’s tenacious pursuit on the defensive end, led by Dockery’s game-high six steals, resulted in 23 Nike turnovers and 31 fast-break points for the

Blue Devils. “In high school, one ofthe things that I loved about [Dockery] was his defensive ability, not just on the ball but off the ball,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s a big plus if you can bring a kid off the bench who wants to make an impact defensively.”

Women’s Studies 150S, Women at Work; Gendered Experience of Corporate Life TuTh, 9:10-10:25 a.m. Instructor: Martha Reeves, Visiting Assistant Professor After graduation, many Duke students, both men and women, will be employed by large corporations, small or medium-sized businesses. In these environments, women will have to learn to surmount barriers to success, and both men and women will need to leam how to minimize inequities which interfere with the full utilization of women’s potential. In this course, we will analyze the ways in which gender, class and race condition contemporary business organizations and the roles of men and women within them. During the semester, successful women in business will be featured as guest speakers. Specific objectives of the course include: understanding how race, class and gender intersect in the contemporary business setting; analyzing how the history of women in the workforce has shaped their current opportunities in business; revealing structural mechanisms in business settings which constrain the potential of both men and women; examining why organizations have underutilized women as a management resource; and understanding how to critique current management theory from a feminist *

perspective.

sprained his ankle after playing only six minutes. The injury is not serious, however, and Horvath is expected to practice today. Duke did not miss a beat after Horvath left the game, continuing to shoot the lights out from beyond the three point line. Ten players, including Horvath, knocked down at least one trifecta, shooting much like the three-happy team that won a national championship in 2001. Freshman J.J. Redick led the way, hitting four-of-eight from long range. “I really think that J.J., Sean, Casey [Sanders] and Nick are all guys that could be starters, and I want them to have starting mentalities,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “In the first half, Nick was as good as any ofthe big guys, being himself and not trying to force things.” But Redick was not the only freshman to shine. Predicted to comprise perhaps the greatest recruiting class ofalltime, each East Campus resident blended with the team as well as anyone could have expected. Shavlik Randolph led Duke with 19 points, while classmates Sean Dockery, Shelden Williams and Redick all scored in double figures as well. Despite having many new players who are still learning the Duke system, the team looked both more creative and intriguing than the last Blue Devil squad that may have been uninspired out ofthe gate after winning a title the year before. “The freshmen played very, very well,” Jones said. “They came in and gave us some premium minutes, and the game went well as a whole. They’re all good, and they all play very, very hard, so I don’t think it’s because we played Team Nike. They’re talented.” Somehow Duke also looked quicker

DANIEL EWING shoots over a Team Nike defender. Ewing shot 2-of-8 from the floor for five,points, as well—forcing 23 turnovers, and sprinting to 31 points off Nike’s mistakes. Dockery led the way with six steals, including five in the first half, taking no time to show he was arguably the quickest player on the squad. Despite all the positives of the first game against outside competition in Cameron Indoor Stadium this season, things may not be smooth sailing all season. Without experienced playmaking talent like that offormer guard Jay Williams, the shot-clock ran to its final seconds several times with the Blue Devils unable to find a good look. Free-throw shooting, last year’s Achilles heel, proved to be a problem once again. The team shot only 6-for-13, but the starters were 4-for-4 from the stripe. “It was a good effort by our guys,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought we played

really well and moved the ball we 11... [and] our freshmen played like they’d been on the court before.”

The Chronicle Vote today

Today’s

election is an extremely important one for both North Carolina and the nation, and voters here have the potential to significantly outcome the control of the U.S. Senate, since the race between Elizabeth Dole and Erskine Bowles is so close and control of the Senate hinges on each election. Voting is a civic duty and voters should not ignore that duty, no matter how busy they may be today. Everyone should make an effort to get out to the polls to make their voices heard in this greatest of all democracies. Especially when the election will have such a large impact on the future ofNorth Carolina, it is doubly important for people to go to the polls and have a hand in determining their future. At the same time, it is imperative that all voters become informed about the candidates and the issues at hand before they go to vote. Being an uninformed voter is worse than not voting at all, since basing for whom one votes on criteria other than substantive, differences on issues makes a mockery of democracy. From the voters guide in today’s Chronicle to the numerous guides available in other newspapers and from other media outlets, voters have the ability and the responsibility to become informed. There are two major races on which Duke voters can have a say. The first is the race for the U.S. House between David Price and Taun Nguyen. The second is that between Dole and Bowles. Currently, the U.S. Senate is divided in between 49 Republicans and 49 Democrats. A one-seat gain for either party would give it control of the Senate, which means vast control over committee chairs and the legislative agenda—including things such as the appointment of judges—over at least the next two years. As many of the key races promise to be so close they may be reminiscent of the 2000 election. Unfortunately, since the 2000 election debacle, insufficient changes have been made to the voting system to ensure that each person has one and only one vote and that all votes are counted fairly. The federal government should aim for voting reform that really works; ideally, it would be a system where voters anywhere in the country, whether they be college students away from home or business travelers, would be able to go to the closest polling station and vote for their home district. If there were a national, computerized system of voter rolls, this could be a real possibility. Additionally, a national system of voter rolls would facilitate same-day registration, where a citizen could go to a polling station the sam e day of the election, although, there may be significant barriers standing in the way of the development of this System, but instituting a system like this is extremely important for the health of our nation’s democracy. The Chronicle reiterates its support for Elizabeth Dole in the US. Senate race and for David Price in the Fourth District US. House race.

Letters to

the editor

Republican candidates show qualities to lead N.C. As you head to the polls today, you must understand the importance of this election and what your choices means for the future of the state of North Carolina and of our nation. It is obvious that many tough challenges will present those whom we elect today. Fortunately, the ballot is replete with candidates who are prepared to confront these issues with

the well-being of North Carolina’s citizens in mind. Elizabeth Dole is the clear choice for the U.S. Senate. She has served her country, her state and Duke University tirelessly and will continue to do so as the next Senator from North Carolina. Her vision for our state’s future is considerably more viable and coherent than that of her opponent. Dole outlines a

plan where North Carolinians are incorporated into an evergrowing global economy, are allowed a limited flexibility in planning for their retirements and are not burdened by undue taxation and government spending. Likewise, cast your vote for Tuan Nguyen to repre-

sent

North

Carolina’s

Fourth Congressional district. Nguyen, a son of Vietnamese immigrants and

self-made businessman, will offer a fresh view in Washington. His experience in small business means that he has a strong understanding of leadership, initiative and the kind of policies that will invigorate North Carolina’s economy. In recent years, judges have increasing endeavored to use the bench to legislate. As this is not the intent of

jural authority, vote for the judicial candidates who promise to uphold the law and not rewrite it. Send Bob Orr and Ed Brady to the North Carolina Supreme Court and Judge Anne Marie Calabria, Judge Bill Constangy, Judge Eric Levinson, Judge Sanford Steelman and Eric Elmore to the Court of Appeals. Locally, vote Jim Hill to your District Court. The people of North Carolina need strong, principled and forward-looking leadership and these candidates provide just that. Vote for Elizabeth Dole, Tuan Nguyen and the Republican judicial candidates today. Jeffrey Raileanu

Recent news brief on breast cancer misled readers At the beginning of October, an article appeared in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute titled “Randomized trial of breast self-examination in Shanghai: Final results.” The accompanying editorial was titled “Routinely teaching breast self-examination is dead. What does this mean?” The journal’s press release was titled “Study finds no evidence that teaching breast self-examination saves lives.” Presumably based upon this press release, The New York Times published the article “Study doubts breast self-exams cut deaths.” The Times makes the leap from the conclusion that there are problems with teaching breast self-examination (BSE) to questioning the efficacy ofBSE itself, and

delivers the message to women—don’t bother. On Oct. 2, The Chronicle picked up this story from The New York Times wire service and printed it in the News Briefs section. What happened to this story

between

the

original

research article and what The Chronicle published? Here are two sentences from the final paragraph of the research article. “This was a trial of the teaching of breast self-examination, not of the practice of BSE. It should not be inferred from the results of this study that there would be no reduction in risk of dying from breast cancer if women practiced BSE competently and frequently.” Breast self-examination is a contentious issue, however, and despite the headlines,

most health care providers are not advising their patients to quit examining their breasts

for irregularities. Reporting science issues to a non-science audience is difficult, and most ofthe time The Chronicle staff does an excellent job. However, in this instance by condensing a complex issue into 50 words-or-less and relying on an outside source without investigating its veracity, they have done their readers a disservice. When stories directly impact our health and welfare, The Chronicle editors need to take greater responsibility for the accuracy of the information they print.

If only Duke had pre-law courses God decided to take the devil to court and settle their differences once and for all. When Satan heard this, he laughed and said, “And where do you think you’re going to find a lawyer?”

“Ba-dum-ching!” I used to find those jokes funny, then I became a law student and now I want a little respect for the profession that protects your rights from bad government, greedy corpo-

rations, cheating individuals and, most of all, other lawyers, “Ba-dum-ching!” But seriously, you don’t realize how rough we lawyers, law students and pre-laws have it; the doctors and pre-meds have it easy. D ama I came to Duke dreaming of being a pre-med. I was rudely awakened by Off the Record, the miserable experience of 810 25.1 self-selected out of pre-med, realizing that if I did not have the patience for a clinically depressing class, I probably wouldn’t have the patience for a clinically depressed patient. Duke (and 810 25) probably saved a life A thorough career development office, with a watchful eye over the pre-meds, is to be expected from a school with top-tier natural sciences and a top-tier medical school. The introductory meetings for freshmen, the diligence of the pre-med advisors (between Sandy Tuthill and Kay Singer I was prepared to be a walking, talking pre-med bulletin board), the efforts to direct students into the correct preparatory courses and the advice to pursue interests and majors that were not in the sciences (no one wants a personal physician with the people skills of a textbook) were impressive and went beyond my expectations. It’s time for Duke to start doing the same for its pre-law students, because a law school education does not start with an LSAT prep course. Let me be the I,oooth law student to tell you: The LSAT, while immensely helpful in encouraging the kind of thinking law schools demand, is woefully insufficient in

terms of the preparation you need for the first day of law school. The problem for a lot of Dukies, is that the decision to try law school is too often a default for the non-corporate, non-medical, non-natural sciences, non-engineer, non-political sycophant. It’s academically unhealthy to default into an indepth study of logic, writing and argument. Students learn snippets of the skills it takes to be a law student in every class-but Duke, it mOtC like most universities, needs to focus these skills No, not a into a course that more directly relates to law. A *■ course that emphasizes the tactics of making a seamless argument (written and oral) and also encourages the logical comparison of principles (not numbers) would be a great first step, Some might call it “too vocational” for a liberal arts school. Think of it more like a lab. No, not a 810 25 lab; this would be practical. This kind of preparation is vital and sorely lacking for pre-laws. Pre-meds spend hours with advisors and courses to help them conquer the imposing MCAT (although, ask any student if its easier to memorize than theorize, and you’ll get a resounding “yes”—perhaps this is why doctors and lawyers don’t get along—we have to

Think of

Last time U.S. News and World Report made a pronouncement, Duke Law School was a formidable school. Another way to foster a better pre-law system at Duke could be done through increased partnership with the School ofLaw. For starters, let students sit in on a class and see the Socratic method in action. The typical vision of the law, unfortunately shaped by stereotypes and bad television-Law & Order and Wire yes; The Practice Ally 3 Mcßeal and The Guardian, no. Can a lab; student arrange this kind of interaction on his own? Yes, but considering that so many Duke students will be treading down the pre-law path, something institutional—from freshman year forward —is necessary, “[The LSAT] provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills...” That is from the homepage of the Law School Admission Council, administrator of the LSAT. It sounds innocent enough, until you sit down for your first LSAT prep class, workbook assignment or practice test and realize that choosing to study law as a default is means to an end. That quote from the LSAC’s homepage makes law sound like something for everyone—no one wants to think that they have trouble with reading and reasoning. Most people do hot reason so well and probably should not be attending any law school. The insufficiency of legal preparation at our universities encourages the personal and professional hazard of sending unprepared people headfirst into law school. Surely anyone can stumble through and be an ambulance chaser, but we to encourage that like we need to encourage unlicensed, back-room medicine. Thorough college preparation could cure America of two evils: the glut of lawyers and the glut of lawyer jokes.

reason and analyze, but because doctors save lives they receive admiration for their intelligence and are not compared to a particular carnivorous fish). Pre-laws pick a LSAT testing center and fork over $lOOO to Kaplan. Pre-laws do have one great ally: Dean Gerald Wilson. Duke has a top-notch law-preparation program for students who have already decided to take the LSAT and have already mapped-out a potential career in the law. I am sure that I owe part of my acceptance at the University of Michigan School of Law to Dean Wilson and his staff. Ask any pre-law in his first year of law school and he will sing the praises of Wilson’s office: They are always ready, willing and able. But Wilson cannot do it alone: He’s only one man
