Pratt expansion looks likely by

Alex Garinger

THE CHRONICLE

The expansion of the Pratt School of Engineering by 50 undergraduate students per class, once only a distant goal, now seems to be on the fast-track to

approval. After discussing the issue at length during its sub-committee meetings in May, the Board of Trustees is expected to bring the expansion to vote at its October

meeting.

Within four years of implementation, the move would boost total undergraduate enrollment from just above 6,400

students to over 6,600. The increase would likely come into effect in Fall 2004, just as the $97 million Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering Medicine and Applied Sciences, currently under construction, opens. Expansion would require the building of a new 100- to 130-bed dormitory on East Campus, alleviating space concerns in other freshman dorms where some large singles have been converted to doubles and some large doubles into triples to accommodate large freshman classes. The main impetus for the expansion is the creation of

CIEMAS, the cornerstone of Pratt Vision 2010, a strategic plan for the school that also calls for the increase in undergraduate enrollment from its current 907. The increase would also help alleviate Arts & Sciences’ budget woes, which are projected to continue for at least the next few years. Because Pratt students also take classes and utilize other resources in Trinity College, Arts & Sciences receives 50 percent of each engineering student’s tuition.

Santillan suit a possibility by

Malavika Prabhu THE CHRONICLE

Although Duke University Hospital had committed to commemorating Jesica Santillan’s memory with a fund in her name, her mother, Magdalena Santillan, has recently retracted her endorsement of the fund. She has since hired a medical malpractice attorney to investigate exacdy what happened to her daughter during the two weeks between a mismatched organ transplant and her death. Kurt Dixon, Santillan’s lawyer, sent a letter to Duke saying Santillan did not want the family’s name associated with any fund. The move prompted confusion from Duke officials, who questioned the letter’s content in addition to its authorship. They had believed that attorney Frank Cassiano, who had been in communication with Duke, was the family’s chief legal representative. However, Cassiano has been released from his duties, according to Mack Mahoney, the Santillan family’s spokesperson. John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said the letter was not on any letterhead and contained misspellings of words such as “attorney.” He said Santillan met with President Nan Keohane and discussed the potential fund. “My understanding was that the fund was established with [Magdalena Santillan’s] desires in mind,” he added. However, Mahoney said Santillan and Keohane never talked about a fund. Instead, he said, they discussed options such as setting up clinics in Mexico and in Durham or a program similar to Doctors Without Borders, a medical outreach program. “Then all of a sudden they announced a fund,” Mahoney said. Santillan initially supported the fund because she said it could help the poor. She then withdrew her backing when she learned that the clinics would exclusively serve Hispanic families. Mahoney said that when Santillan learned of the fund’s purposes—which did not address health care needs—the fund seemed like a “joke.” SEE SANTILLAN ON PAGE 25

Steep parking hikes draw fire by

Andrew Collins THE CHRONICLE

Parking rates have soared this year for employees, with Director of Parking and Transportation Services Cathy Reeve saying the increase will go toward funding ambitious future projects and restoring the department’s depleted reserves. “What we have been spending the last few months doing is trying to develop a long-range plan,” Reeve said. “What we have decided to go ahead and do is develop a budget that will position us to deal with the needs over the next 15 years, so the cash will be available when we need it, and we won’t have to go back for more big increases.” The price for an annual permit for all lots at the University and Medical Center, except those designated remote or ungated, will increase between 35 and 45 percent for fiscal year 2003-2004. The University and Medical Center parking systems merged July 1. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said the burden of the rate increases will be mitigated by a new “pretax” feature, which allows employees to deduct parking fees from their paychecks before taxes are calculated and will allow some employees to save money in terms of outof-pocket cost, depending on the lot in which they park.

For example, a hypothetical head-of-household earning $30,000, who is paid on a biweekly basis and has three exemptions and standard deductions and no earned income credit, could end up saving as much as $2O on a

pass for a University remote lot. In reality, however, not all employees will benefit from the new pretax system, depending on their tax situation and parking lot. The same hypothetical employee would have to pay $l3 extra for a Bryan Research permit, and others may have to pay even more for such premium lots. Reeve acknowledged that the rate increase might seem substantial for some, but said it would be the last major hike for quite a while. “We know that it’s a big jump for employees,” she said. ‘The pretax does give an opportunity to offset that. What we anticipate from now on is if we need to have increases, it will be the smaller cost-of-living

adjustments.” Some people, like information technology specialist Chris Daugherty, are nonetheless outraged that Parking and Transportation Services will reap most of the benefits of the new pretax arrangement. “How the heck do you justify a nearly 40 percent increase in parking costs?” Daugherty wrote to Parking and SEE PARKING RATES ON PAGE 25

Kilgo, Southgate bathrooms get Duke Card entry By Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

Starting this fall, residents in Kilgo Quadrangle on West Campus and South-

gate Dormitory on East Campus will need DukeCards to enter their bathrooms. DukeCard readers were installed this summer and should be functional by the time students return to campus. The two-dorm pilot program was prompted by ongoing concerns about bathroom safety, which dominated much of campus discussion last year after a man waiting inside a second-floor bathroom in Wannamaker Dormitory reportedly attacked and sexually assaulted a female resident. Eddie Hull, director of Residence Life and Housing Services, said that by installing DukeCard readers, the University should be able to both increase security and mitigate some of the costs associated with the key-access system still in place in most dormitories. “As soon as someone realizes their card is missing, we’re hoping they will notify the

DukeCard office immediately, at which point we can take the card off-line,” Hull said. ‘The cards are relatively easy to reprogram, and we wouldn’t have to spend $75 to replace a mechanical lock every time someone lost a bathroom key.” The installation of the card readers in Kilgo and Southgate followed a Campus Council recommendation from the spring. Anthony Vitarelli, Campus Council president, said the proposal was one of the most important aspects of the organization’s larger safety resolution. “Bathroom security is immensely important to student safety in the residence halls, and we had to make sure that only those who were supposed to have access got in,” Vitarelli said. He added that the card reader system is the only method that can ensure safety while allowing for the system to transfer from resident to resident if need be, and that it is a vast improvement over the keyaccess system. “Students will no longer be able to tape

bathroom doors open, allowing anyone to enter them,” he said. “Plus, keys can get lost, and any time between when a key is lost and the lock is changed, the whole hall is vulnerable. Card readers can be changed

instantly.”

Hull said an additional benefit of the card-reader system would be in the University’s increased ability to track bathroom access, should the need arise. “If we needed to know, we could have information on who gained access to which bathrooms over certain periods of time,” he said. After the assault in Wannamaker in October 2002, the University changed the bathroom locks in all dormitories. The new locks were specific to gender and hall, and students were no longer able to access their bathrooms with their room keys. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said last fall that cost was a prohibitive factor in installing DukeCard readers throughout the campus. At a Duke Student Government adviso-

ry meeting on campus safety this summer, Assistant Dean of Residence Life Deb LoBiondo told participants that some of the Wannamaker bathrooms could still be accessed by the keys of residents of the opposite sex. However, when pressed for details, Loßiondo, Hull and others in RLHS declined comment or denied that this was the case. Despite a positive outlook on the cardreader system, both Hull and Vitarelli stressed the role of students in continuing to promote their own safety within the dorms. ‘The challenge is that what we’re relying on to make it work is for students to use it responsibly,” Hull said. “Any housing director in the country will tell you that it’s the use by students themselves that ultimately matters. This is often hard for students to hear until something happens you wish hadn’t happened.” Hull said the card-reader system will be tested temporarily until a decision can be made on its efficacy.

Student Affairs gives SSOK for three weeks of fun ey Andrew Collins THE CHRONICLE

Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta has earmarked $50,000 for student programming in the first three weeks of fall semester. Jonathan Bigelow, president of the Union, called the gift one of the most generous of its kind in the Universi-

ty’s history. Programming recommendations have been left to the discretion of a group of student leaders, headed by Bigelow, that has been meeting weekly and contacting other campus organizations for ideas about what activities could be sponsored. “My sense and understanding is that this is to be student-created, student-implemented,” said Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek, adding, however, that administrators will ultimately have to approve any and all projects. The money will come from a variety of sources, but funds will ultimately be provided by the Office of StuANTHONY

dent Affairs. Bigelow said he believes the most effective student programming is almost always done by students. Even the name chosen for the set of events—21 Night Stand—suggests a non-administrative aura, he said.

Although the upcoming events are still in the planning stages, Bigelow said water games, outdoor films, transportation and discounted tickets for Durham Bulls baseball games, a “student-arts-and-showcase-type” event and a dance party in The Hideaway have been discussed as possibilities. “It’s hot as hell in August here, and we think this event is refreshingly cool, literally and figuratively,” he said. The programming of 21 Night Stand will be separate from the ordinary activities planned by student groups, going “above and beyond” their normal programming, Bigelow said. In the beginning of the year, many student organizations are just getting on their feet and are slow to sponsor their own activities. ‘There were some discussions about how we might make the beginning of the school year more vibrant and robust from a programming standpoint,” Wasiolek said. For student leaders, the funding comes as an unexpected but extremely welcome gift. “I was sort ofblown away that they had come up with this wonderful opportunity,” Bigelow said. “I don’t think anything’s ever been attempted at Duke on this scale before.” Moneta was on vacation and could not be reached for comment.

Disciplinary by

cases down as RCs step in

Andrew Collins

THE CHRONICLE

One year into the Residence Coordinators program, the impact ofRCs has been borne out dramatically in disciplinary cases. Statistics recendy released from the Office of Judicial Affairs show that vasdy more cases are now handled informally by residential staff members. More violations were reported overall in 2002-2003 than the five-year average but—in a change from years past —fewer than half were adjudicated by the Undergraduate Judicial Board. This is largely due to a steep drop in the number of residential cases brought before the board, as RCs were able to resolve about 48 percent of cases informally. As recently as 2000-2001, no cases were resolved informally. Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Kacie Wallace said she sees the RCs’ suddenly huge role in the disciplinary process as a positive development. “I think the RCs are uniquely positioned to intervene at a level where they know their residents, they can have these educational conversations with their residents, and they also see their residents on a daily and nightly basis,” she said. ‘The RCs are doing a lot to help us nip things in the bud before they get to a higher level.” The most dramatic drop in the number of adjudicated cases was seen on East Campus, where only 57 residential violations were reported, down from a three-year average of 177 cases per year. Much of this decline can be attributed to the dearth of underage alcohol possession cases brought before the UJB last year. Compared to the five-year average of 144 hearings, the 58 cases brought before the board this year represents a truly precipitous drop. As with several other

disciplinary trends, the difference can be attributed to the presence ofRCs: 103 alcohol violation cases were handled informally by residential staff. RCs are trained as adjunct judicial affairs officers and are well qualified to deal with several types of disciplinary cases, including alcohol violations, said Eddie Hull, director ofresidence life and housing services. “They’re professional, full-time staff members with Master’s [degrees]; it’s part of their responsibility to pro-

early

vide and maintain values at the University,” he said. Wallace agreed that RCs were generally capable of resolving such violations by virtue of their expertise and position of responsibility, but added that students with multiple violations would be referred to Judicial Affairs. Some of the RCs’ impact on alcohol violations in residence halls may have also come from a shift they have effected in dormitory culture. “The RCs have made and will continue to make a big difference in sort of regulating the civility in the dorms,” she said. “In the past we’ve gotten reports from students that the dorms are an awful place to be on a Friday or Saturday night ifyou’re not in the party.” Judicial statistics revealed a number of other trends in non-academic cases. Complaints arose from Duke Police with more frequency than in years past, with 154 complaints this year compared with 97 in the three years prior to 2002-2003. Wallace speculated that one reason for this rise could be that her office has been encouraging residential staff to call the police more often when confronted with suspicious activity in the dormitories. With regard to academic integrity, the 54 adjudicated cases represents a 69 percent increase from the five-year average of 32. While the total number of academic dishonesty cases increased only slightly, the number of plagiarism cases is up sharply. Judicial Affairs also appears to be considering a wider variety of punishments this year, as shown by the increased use of the one-term suspension and community service as sanctions. The two-term suspension, a more severe option, was used only a third of the time this year, compared to a rate approaching 100 percent two years ago.

Officials hire initial Village architect by

rejects Duke case

Cindy Yee

THE CHRONICLE

The University has hired Raleigh architect Clymer Cease to help with preliminary planning for the West Campus student village. Cease and his associates have been meeting regularly with administrators—including University Architect John Pearce, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Zoila Airall—for the past several weeks, focusing primarily on a proposed outdoor plaza that administrators hope will become a crossroads for community interaction. The group is basing its work on a report completed in the spring by Washington, D.C., firm Brailsford & Dunlavey, and hopes to have general designs by the end of summer or early fall. Cease has been charged with crafting a conceptual approach to the Village. This includes thinking about where the plaza should be located, how it should relate to existing buildings, how buildings might be changed and where additional square footage might be placed, said Coordinator for Space Management and Planning Roger Belanger. Cease said planning is going well so far and that the main focus has been to create a more student-friendly space with the Village. “It’s obvious there’s a demand there that’s not being met the way things are currendy configured,” Cease said. “The idea is that we know there are a lot of things that students would like to see. We’ve gotten a lot of really interesting ideas, and I think we’ll be able to do something that will actually improve the services and how students perceive the whole area.” He added, however, that he is not necessarily planning a drastic overhaul of the area. “We are not trying to overlay something just because we think it would be cool,” he said. “We’re trying to understand what the problem is and trying to figure out how to fix that problem.... It’s all very deliberate.” Moneta said he is confident in Cease’s abilities to work through the B & D report, which makes recommendations regarding renovations and additions to the

THE CHRONICLE

Research at Duke received a potentially “devastating” blow on June 27, as the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the University’s appeal on a verdict stemming from a five-year-old patent infringement lawsuit brought forth by former physics professor John Madey. The decision leaves in place an earlier ruling by a lower court limiting universities’ use of patented technologies in research.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Carrington Hall at the University of NorthCarolina at Chapel Hill is one of the previous architectual projects in an academic setting undertaken by ClymerCease's firm.

Bryan Center, West Union Building, Flowers Building and Page Auditorium. The report recommends allocating square footage between such services as food, retail and meeting and social space, but does not speculate on where each service should be situated within the Village. “[Cease] immediately understood the importance of the piazza/plaza to this project,” Moneta wrote in an e-mail. ‘We’ve been pretty heavily focused first on the plaza. That has led to discussions on the multi-purpose spaces, bar/pub/dance club options and student organization office space.” Cease is no stranger to the University, having worked on a number of Duke projects over the last decade, including renovations to Lilly Library and the School of Law. Cease is also familiar with Villagetype planning, as his firm, Pearce Brinkley Cease & Lee, has done previous work on other student centers. Airall called the firm’s designs for

other student centers “beautiful.” She added that Cease has a good understanding of the University’s needs and dreams for the new Village. Once the University agrees on a conceptual approach to the Village, the project will move to the next phase, which will include a more concrete timetable, proposed budgets and a decision on an architect to make the final designs for the buildings. “An architect once said to me that the time is not always right to have a project move forward into its final design, but as you work through it, it will speak to you,” Pearce said. “At this point, we haven’t imposed too many financial restrictions since the assignment is basically to develop some broad conceptions,” Moneta wrote. “It gets much harder once a dollar limitation is expressed.” Moneta said he hopes to be ready to develop a first-phase proposed project in time for the October meeting of the Board ofTrustees.

With the court’s decision not to hear the case, Madey has scored a major victory. Duke and other research universities, however, could find academic research more difficult and more expensive unless further litigation reverses the situation. “People have predicted scenarios from the ‘totally chaotic’ to ‘not that much change.’ It’s hard to believe it’s going to be ‘not that much change,”’ said Vice Provost for Research James Siedow. “On the other hand, if it becomes totally chaotic, it’s hard to believe someone from Congress wouldn’t step in.... In other words, I don’t know that the sky is falling, but I don’t know that we’re walking down a garden path either.” The University’s official reaction seems to veer toward the ‘sky falling’ scenario. “Unless the Congress provides a legislative remedy, universities may need to alter their research practices to such an extent that basic scientific research cannot continue on a consistent course,” said David Jarmul, associate vice president of news and communications, in a statement

Comics collection gives Duke extra POW! by

Cindy

Yee

THE CHRONICLE

Alicia Korenman, a graduate student in religion, has spent countless hours browsing through comic books and role-playing games this summer. No, she’s not

unemployed.

The University recently added 55,000 comic books and 500 RPGs to its Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library, giving Duke one of the largest archival comics collections in the country and creating a child’s dreamland in the most unlikely of places. Now, Korenman and Megan Lewis, a senior library assistant, are in the process of cataloging and sorting through the collection. In all, the Edwin and Terry Murray Collection of Pulp Culture—named for the brothers who donated their sizeable collection of comics and RPGs to the University last year—will fill up to 918 archival boxes. “I was struck by the sheer size of this collection,” Lewis said. “It’s just incredibly comprehensive, and most of the comics are in pristine condition, especially considering that comic books are really supposed to be a disposable medium that is read and thrown away.” Tim West, director of collection development for the Special Collections Library, said the comics collection will lend itself to a broad spectrum of use when it is made available, hopefully by the end of September. Students, scholars and recreational readers will be able to search the collection by title, publisher and decade in the fall. “It will appeal to people who want to see comics they remember from their childhood and to people in classes at Duke who study pop culture or certain kinds of art or literary forms,” West said. ‘The whole thing will not be ready until the fall, but we have an interesting representative sample of the collection for people to look at now, which could help them think about how it might be used academically.” Anne Allison, chair of the cultural anthropology department, said anyone working on cultural studies might have an interest in the Pulp Culture collection.

“It’s a fiinny field because it goes beyond all the departments,” she said. “Anyone interested in storytelling, images or pop culture might be able to use it.

You can even make the argument that comic books are a form of literature.” In fact, Allison said that for the present generation, comic books may hold as important a place in how their thoughts are shaped as literature. Jane Gaines, professor of literature and English and director of the film and video program, said the Pulp Culture collection, in combination with the J. Walter Thompson Advertising collection, puts Duke on the map for those wishing to do pop culture research. ‘We have carved out a very distinctive niche and made an investment in a future where the distinction between high and low culture will be less marked,” Gaines wrote in an e-mail. Allison, who teaches an undergraduate course tided, “Fantasy, Mass Media and Pop Culture,” also noted the collection’s potential as a teaching tool. “Comics can offer a window on topics such as notions of masculinity and where our fantasies come from,” Allison said. “I imagine that over time, when people begin to understand how fantastic this collection is, people teaching classes might be able to incorporate and use this collection in their courses.” Lewis said she imagines a broad range of academic applications for the collection. “Women’s Studies would have a field day,” she said. University librarians had to make five trips over a year to the Murray’s childhood home to pick up more than 55,000 comic books, 500 RPGs and board games, thousands of comic fanzines, science fiction and fantasy fiction materials and comic posters and art. West said the collection of RPGs, which includes resource books and miniature figurines used in the games, will also be available for use in the Special Collections library’s research rooms. He said he does not know of any larger collection of RPGs, which include “Dungeons & Dragons” and ‘Traveller.”

Sexual assault Alcohol orientation program cut policy changed by

Andrew Collins

THE CHRONICLE

Andrew Collins

THE CHRONICLE

Responding to student complaints, the University has significandy reimagined its sexual assault policy and procedures. The Office of the Dean of Students has drafted a new Sexual Misconduct Policy and has made various changes to the judicial process for sexual assault cases. The most significant change, administrators said, is that the size of the judicial panel for such cases has been reduced from five people to three. Dean ofStudents Sue Wasiolek said the decision to cut the panel size was intended to make adjudication less intimidating and “more humane.” “From the feedback that we’ve gotten from students involved in the process, the process has been very difficult and painful,” she said. “Given the nature of the allegations, given the sensitivity of the information, given the difficulty of these cases—not only for the alleged victim but also for the accused—the sense was involving fewer people in hearing the case was actually in everyone’s best interest.” The panel will be comprised of two faculty or staff members and one student. As in previous years, all panelists will come from the Undergraduate Judicial Board. Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Stephen Bryan acknowledged the potential trade-off in reducing the number of people involved in deciding a student’s fate. “There’s always concern that because it’s only three instead of five, you’re not going to have as many voices hearing [the case],” he said. He added that a unanimous vote would now be required on decisions of guilt and major punishment. The previous five-person judicial process required only a simple majority. The University also revisited its sexual assault policy SEE SEXUAL ASSAULT ON PAGE 20

With the discontinuation of “So You Wanna Get Buzzed?” as the freshman alcohol lecture—and no analogous replacement in sight—administrators are betting that some alcohol-related skits and an online program called AlcoholEdu can help fill in the gaps in educating incoming undergraduates on the perils of drinking. The decision not to have an alcohol-related lecture as part of OrientationWeek resulted from years of unfavorable student feedback and was influenced by a study from the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators suggesting that such lectures early in the first semester were often ineffective. “We’re always trying look at new, different and more improved ways of communicating critical information to students, and there’s been some research done that suggests sometimes the lecture style of providing information to students [during orientation] is not the best time to present that, nor is it the best format,” said Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek. Students have complained about “So You Wanna Get Buzzed?” for years, said Assistant Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi, who is in charge of orientation programs. On the other hand, feedback was generally favorable for the series ofinteractive skits called “The Real Deal,” so Lombardi decided to incorporate the topic ofalcohol use into several skits and ax “So You Wanna GetBuzzed?” from the ticket altogether. “Our rationale in removing that specific alcohol program is we’ve received really good responses from students about ‘The Real Deal,”’ Lombardi said. “At that time, when students are first here, going through that interactive [program] hits home a little bit more and has a little bit more substance for them.” With an eye toward interactivity, administrators chose AlcoholEdu as the other significant piece of alcohol programming for freshmen. The online course, created by Brandon Busteed, Trinity ’99, has become one of the most prominent in the country and is used by schools such as Dartmouth College, Villanova University and

Jeff Kulley, coordinator of alcohol and substance abuse services for Counseling and Psychological Services, gave the program a favorable review. “I think it does [work],” Kulley said. “It provides solid information. It’s pretty user-friendly; students have been using it for a couple of years now at Duke [through CAPS] and most report it’s a positive experience. ‘The question about whether it changes behavior is something that still needs to be researched,” he added, noting that there has been some indication of positive effects. Kulley said he was “a little bit” concerned about the fact that the most substantial piece of alcohol programming, AlcoholEdu, will not be offered to students until well after the first week of orientation. Still, he said the three-hour program would be more extensive than “So You Wanna Get Buzzed?” and therefore more useful in the long run. SEE ALCOHOL ON PAGE 27

Grad School addresses FLA audits University attrition in new report apparel manufacturer by

Cindy Yee

THE CHRONICLE

Administrators are putting the finishing touches on a report they hope will help combat attrition among graduate students and encourage directors of graduate studies to reevaluate the experience of graduate students at various phases of the doctoral program. Leigh Deneef, associate dean of the Graduate School, said the report is meant to initiate conversations across departmental lines by highlighting good practices in graduate education and encouraging departments to adopt such practices if applicable to their own areas of study. “The report gives examples of practices that are successful, and we’re going to try to take those across departmental, or even divisional, lines,” Deneef said. “We want to get conversations going between scientists, humanists, everyone.” Round-table discussions—which involved the Executive Committee of Graduate Faculty, DGSs and some department chairs within the Graduate School—broke graduate students’ experiences down into distinct phases of the doctoral program. “The reasons people drop out after their first year differ from when they drop out after four or five years,” Deneef said. More specifically, the discussions centered on department practices concerning student orientation, integration and examinations, and on methods of monitoring students’ progress toward a degree. “We had round-table conversations, not just about attrition, but about everything we did at different stages in a stu-

dents’ experience,” Deneef said Dean of the Graduate School Lewis Siegel said the discussions helped bring to the surface a wide variety of approaches to graduate education. “We had these talks with the fundamental theme of seeing if there are simple things we can share with each other that might help reduce the significant attrition rate,” Siegel said. Deneef hopes to complete the report by the end of August so that he can distribute it to DGSs and the ECGF. After the report is released, he said, DGSs will be able to apply it to their own departments as they see fit because administrators do not wish to hamper flexibility with rigid, overarching policies. “Because the Ph.D. is a research degree focused in a disciplinary area, much of the intellectual center has to be in the department or discipline itself,” Deneef said. ‘The GraduateSchool will provide where it can for other kinds of needs... and keep practices we think are successful very visible. But some practices won’t make sense for every division.” Still, he said, the Graduate School will keep pressure on DGSs for certain kinds of changes. For example, Siegel and Deneef saw the forging of a closer connection between students’ preliminary examinations and their dissertations as something that could benefit all departments. The Graduate School decided to examine its climate last year when the ECGF pinpointed attrition rates as a chronic problem. The committee examined the problem in terms of the admissions process, faculty mentoring and career advising.

Construction keeps going... by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

Anyone'who spent the last few months on campus can tell you that hard hats were as common a sight as the hordes of TIP students donning neon shoelaces around their necks. Many of this summer’s major construction projects are set to be completed by August 15, just in time for students to roll back into town. Jerry Black, director of facilities management, said the new Parking Garage IV behind the Bryan Center should be finished by that time. Currendy, he said, the project is in its final stages of striping, sideage and landscape for the new deck. Cathy Reeve, director of parking and transportation, said the deck should be available to permit holders August 16. “I am very pleased with [the deck’s] design, both functionally and aesthetically,” Reeve wrote in an e-mail. “I believe the community will be as well when it opens next month.” PG IV has 558 parking spaces on five levels. Employee permit parking will be on levels one through four, with about 398 spaces in total. The 110 spaces on level five will be reserved for graduate students. Levels three and four will also hold 50 hourly visitor spaces. Reeve said the new garage brings parking back to the core area of campus and should help improve visitor and special event parking on campus. Also set for completion by August 15 are renovations to Kilgo Quadrangle. Black said this summer’s Kilgo renovations have been moving along well. Returning students can expect the same

that is being made over this summer is the one running around the Chapel quad. Black said pedestrians will not notice much of a difference after the job is done, but that the work of the last few weeks on the area was a necessary part of maintaining the road. ‘The old road was settling and it had a lot of holes and depressions, and the curb in general was not good,” Black said. He said workers have been occupied with taking out about four inches of asphalt, shoring up certain areas of the road and putting in a new curb and drain boxes for storm drains. Black said this, too, should be done by August 15. Returning students may also notice some changes in the Great Hall. Renovations of the serving area are still in progress but should be completed by the time students return, Black said. Plans for the Great Hall’s seating area are still in the works and will not be carried out until the serving area is complete. On Central Campus, the 6,900-square-foot addition to the Children’s Campus on Alexander Avenue is well underway and should be completed by August, Black said. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

New RLHS Summer attendance policy draws by

climbs higher

Cindy Yee

THE CHRONICLE

Summer session enrollments increased again this year with administrators crediting the rise to such factors as students’ strategic planning for their academic programs, additional financial aid from the University and a weak national economy. The University saw a 21 percent increase in the number of students enrolled for Summer Session Term I from 2002 to 2003 and an 89 percent increase since 2000. Statistics for Term II 2003 are not yet available. “It has been apparent to me for some time that Duke students were using their summers in educationally purposive ways and that this trend could be expected to increase,” Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College, wrote in an e-mail. He noted that while some students arrange career-related work or study abroad during the summer, some also choose to attend summer sessions to meet the University’s 34-course requirement, give maximum attention to challenging courses or pursue topics of in-

A housing loophole that allowed students to escape the three-year on-campus live-in requirement with little consequence has been closed up by Residential Life and Housing Services, but some students are decrying the new policy as unfair. Students who are kicked out of campus housing for behavioral violations will now be forced to pay the full amount of their housing contract through the end of the academic year. “If they do something egregious the first day in August, they’ll have to pay the whole amount,” said RLHS Director Eddie Hull, who is entering his first full year on the job. Hull justified the change by saying that under the former system, everyone who held a housing contract was made to suffer the indirect cost of their derelict classmates’ rent. “People doing something right [were] subsidizing the cost of people doing something wrong,” he said. Even worse, Hull added, sometimes the bad behavior was not even accidental. “We’ve heard stories among students who say, ‘I want to live off campus. I don’t want to meet the three-year live-in requirement, so if I do just enough to get kicked out, maybe I can beat the system,”’ he said.

terest.

The University has responded to the trend by revising its financial aid policy from an»eight semester limit to a nine semester limit, with two terms of summer session counting as one semester. Thompson said this decision was consistent with the University’s need-blind admissions policy and was meant to ensure that all students, regardless of their financial situation, could attend summer sessions if they so desired.

Summer session students enjoy a kick-off barbeque on Central Campus in May. Paula Gilbert, director of continuing education and summer session, said a high level of interest in completing a second major, a minor or a certificate program might also account for some of the increased summer enrollments. “There are also students who enroll because they didn’t snare the internship they wanted, or who want to graduate early, or who decide it would be easier to find work here than at home,” she wrote in an e-mail. Although many tagged the weak national economy as a factor in increased summer school enrollments, Tom Halasz, associate director of the Career Center, said it played only a small part in the over-

all trend “Any explanation relating to the economy is not unreasonable because taking extra classes in the summer is a good option if you can’t get employment,” Halasz said. “In Duke’s case, I don’t think it’s the sole or greatest reason for an increase in summer enrollment.” Some have pointed to core Curriculum 2000 requirements as a possible factor leading to the increase. However, administrators said the curriculum should not be viewed as a “problem” that forces students into summer school. “I do not think the increase reflects SEE ENROLLMENT ON PAGE 27

ACES website receives slick summer makeover by

Jane Hetherington THE CHRONICLE

While students have been off interning or studying abroad this summer, Student Information Services and Systems has logged countless hours redesigned ACES. The registration hub—which was unavailable to staff and students from Thursday, June 12, until Friday, June 20—underwent a complete renovation that added many new features and an entirely new face. The biggest change was a system upgrade from a client server to a totally webbased platform. “We decided to do the rewrite in Java, which will provide us with a lot more flexibility —much quicker access—and we’ve al-

to incorporate a lot more requests from students and faculty,” said Kathy Pfeiffer, director ofSISS The rewrite will allow more students to access the site at the same time, which will prove extremely useful during class registration and the first few days of classes. It also includes a plethora of new features such as the option to search for multiple Curriculum 2000 requirements at once. Administrators expect the transition to the new system to go smoothly despite some initial problems. “In the first week we ran into a few problems with student identifications—a few bumps in registration—which is normal for an implementation of this size,” Pfeiffer said. The Registrar’s office is aid-

ing with the shift. “We are still experiencing some wrinkles and we are helping students,” said Assistant Registrar Peggy Lankford. “Because it is summer and there are fewer students, we are able to help those who have a prob-

lem.” She added that SISS and the Office of Information Technology have responded quickly to any problems. Students have found the new interfaces easy to use. “I don’t mind it,” said Tara Morcone, a chemistry graduate student. “I thought it was fairly user-friendly.” SISS is offering courses for faculty and staff to learn the new system, said Pfeiffer. “The look and feel and navigation takes a little while to get used to.” However, she

expressed optimism that the new system is better. In creating the new features and redesigning the system, SISS administrators drew upon their own experiences as advisors and from student feedback over the years. Faculty can now see the same screens as students. In the past, the students and advisors had difficulty communicating over the phone because they saw different interfaces, Pfeiffer said. In addition, faculty can now view their advisee list as they continue to work. “I definitely believe the navigation is simpler and more robust,” said Pfeiffer. “Once people get over the initial shock of it being different, they will really like it.”

The Women’s Initiative Steering Committee is working bring a self-run childcare co-operative to Duke’s grad-

and professional students. Interest arose primarily from the students, said Rob Saunders, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, but committee members believe there are faculty and staff who could benefit as well. Saunder said the proposal is still in its early stages. One of the main factors delaying a decision, he said, is the lack of communication with graduate and professional student-parents over the summer. As a result, many people have been unable to come out for or against the proposal—a step that is necessary since graduate and professional students themselves would play an integral role in running the co-op. uate

Deirdre Gordon, program director for the Divinity School and a member ofParents@Duke, said problems of communicating the proposal do not exist only during the summer, as there is no official way to communicate comprehensively with all the parents at the University. ‘The challenge for [Parents@Duke] is getting information out, which is really a University-wide problem,” Gordon said. “I would hope that if there is a new initiative like a co-op, there’d be ways to communicate to parents who are interested.” Communication and interest are not the only obstacles standing in the way of a child care co-op. In order to have a successfully running co-op, there would need to be heavy support from parents, and hopefully from the University as well, Gordon said. SEE CHILD CO-OP ON PAGE 25

In the late 19905, it was made popular by its easy-to-navigate links and its forums, which fostered heated debate on various campus issues. “MyDuke has already been one of the most popular websites used by Duke students,” said Brandon Shapiro, president ofDevilnet. “With this merger, we hope to form a conglomeration of all student services on Devilnet, making it the best home page for Duke students.” Along with MyDuke-powered e-mail, forums and quick links to a wide variety of student services, the new Devilnet—available in August at devilnet.duke.edu, myduke.com and devilnet.com—will offer movie listings, a restaurant guide, Merchants on Points menus, a marketplace where students can sell items such as books and furniture, a ride share board and various other services.

Breyers has followed the Oak Room to the dustbin of campus eateries, but unlike the Oak Room it has a ready replacement: Edy’s ice cream. The impetus for the change was student requests for more variety, including sorbets and non-fat selections. Junior Sean Biederman, merchant evaluation analyst for the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, a Duke Student Government organization, said economic problems added to the decision. “Sales were low, I guess, reflecting low sentiment,” he said. “So ARAMARK [Corp.] approached DUSDAC to bring in possible altemadves that might be of more delight to students.” Officials staged a taste test between Freshens and Edy’s in June in which participants were asked to

choose their favorite. Edy’s won by a margin of twothirds to one-third, said David Randolph, resident district manager of dining services for ARAMARK Biederman said there will be an increase in advertisements to announce the impending change. ‘There is going to be an increase in marketing, which happens anytime you have a new product. We’ll probably have a grand opening with T-shirts and such.” Although it is slightly unconventional to do a taste test to survey student preferences, Biederman said it was an appropriate way to make the decision. ‘We were pretty pleased. Perhaps we could have taken it to a committee vote, but [with] it being summer, we decided it would be better to [get] community feedback,” he said. Subway approved the switch and will now share its space between the Great Hall and The Loop with Edy’s, as it did with Breyers.

some of the higher-crime areas that could benefit from the proposal are neighborhoods in the Neighborhood Partnership Initiative, with which the University works extensively. Bumess stressed that there are no final plans just yet, but that jurisdiction for the DUPD could extend from Green Street to Main Street and from Ninth Street to Gregson or Watts streets.

It would cost an estimated $300,000 a year for the DUPD to take on responsibilities under the extended jurisdiction, Bumess said. “We’d have to hire five or six more officers and fund the necessary support for them.” DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead said extended jurisdiction should not require a great deal of extra training for Duke officers. “Duke police are full state-certified officers,” he said. ‘The only shift will be in people’s expectations of what Duke police can do.” Birkhead said he is looking forward to assisting Durham police, but that the DUPD is not seeking to encroach upon or usurp the DPD’s jurisdiction. Any agreement between the two departments would not signify a complete transfer of responsibility for the area or areas in question, but would rather legalize regular Duke patrols in conjunction with DPD patrols. “Duke police are not interested in taking over patrolling the Durham city, but we have a lot of students, faculty and staff living off East Campus,” Birkhead said. “This proposal makes sense if we are able to assist the City of Durham in patrolling and responding to nuisance ca115.... We still have to

focus on Duke property and the Duke community, but at the same time be aware that we can help the city.” DUPD Maj. Robert Dean added that Duke patrols off East Campus could help lighten the DPD’s load in responding to student and student-related calls. “Now, when neighbors complain to police about loud parties or drunken students, it will be Duke police responding,” Burness explained. “They will be responding exacdy as if they were local police officers.” Bumess said the University and the city have been in discussions for years about how Duke can provide indirect aid to Durham by taking on broader responsibilities like those currendy in the works. However, discussions have been halted in the past by legal problems, to which officials are just now finding adequate solutions. For the University, the main problem has centered on questions of insurance for Duke officers, Bumess said. “We said we’d be willing to do this extended patrolling, but we would have to have an assurance that Duke police officers wouldreceive the same legal insurance that city police officers have,” he said. “In order to get our police this legal protection in an ongoing fashion, the city had to submit a bill to the state legislature that would be unique to Duke and that would permit the city to contract with our officers to patrol regularly.” . Burness said the bill that now awaits Easley’s signature does just that and provides a basis for establishing a permanent contractual agreement as opposed to the current mutual aid agreement, under which the city can deputize Duke officers only for isolated events.

U.S. NEWS from page 1 American Medical Association certified physicians and other care-related factors, provided the hospital meets initial entry standards. Dr. Pascal Goldschmidt, chair of the department of medicine, expressed satisfaction with the rating of the Hospital. “We have an absolutely first-class faculty at Duke,” he said. “We have a formidable interaction between physicians, the nursing staff and other staff.” Duke’s heart and heart surgery program ranked fourth in the nation—highest of any of Duke’s specialties—and moved up one spot from last year’s rankings. Goldschmidt, who formerly served as chief of cardiology, is optimistic that Duke’s heart program can easily reach the top of the charts, having left Johns Hopkins Hospital’s heart program “in the dust.” Hopkins is ranked first in die overall survey, although its heart program is ranked sixth. “My goal is that within the next six years, Duke will be number one, providing that we can continue to reinvest the resources we’ve created through faculty and staff,” he said. For the Medical Center’s overall ranking to climb even further, the progress made by the cardiology division and the Heart Center must be mimicked by other programs one at a time, Goldschmidt added. “I am absolutely convinced that we can take [every other] program and bring it to the top of the country, but we have to prioritize. We have to decide which ones are the closest to number one, and that’s where we have to start,” he said. This year geriatrics ranked fifth, obstetrics and gynecology fifth and oncology seventh; only ob-gyn moved up from last year’s results. Chair of Geriatrics Dr. Harvey Cohen said he was “delighted” to be ranked highly, although he took the results with a grain of salt. “In geriatrics, the top five programs are good, credible programs. They all belong in the top

c,e

five, but how easy it is to distinguish [between them] gets difficult,” he said. Cohen differentiated Duke from the programs rated above it by emphasizing that those programs usually have very large clinical services, a component Duke does not emphasize as much as its academic program. When U.S. News ranks geriatrics programs based on teaching and research, he said, Duke typically ranks higher than sixth. Ranked sixth for the past two years, orthopedics holds much promise to climb the charts, said Dr. James Nunley, chief of orthopedics. The division is planning on adding six new faculty members, three of whom have “incredibly prominent national positions,” he said. Nunley, who has been chief for one year, pointed out, however, that space restrictions for the division have hindered its full potential. “Our biggest need is for the University to provide us adequate space and facilities to grow. We have people who want to come to work for us and we don’t have operating space, office space or research space. If we could get the University to help us, we can grow by leaps and bounds,” he said. With the ophthalmology department maintaining its ranking at eight, Dr. David Epstein, chair of the department and director of the Duke Eye Center, who is also feeling the effects of a space crunch, said he was satisfied with the results. Tm very pleased that Duke ophthalmology has once again been ranked as one of the top programs in the country, and I expect our ranking, prestige and productivity to increase further with the [new] Albert Eye Research Institute and the expansion of our programs,” he said. The survey also ranked Duke’s specialties in digestive disorders, kidney disease, urology, respiratory disorders, rheumatology, psychiatry, neurology, hormonal disorders, pediatrics and ear, nose and throat. Only psychiatry and neurology programs fell in the rankings compared to last year, and their decline was slight.

science major to get an STS course.” In addition to area requirements, Chafe asked the committee to examine whether foreign language courses completed away from Duke should be credited toward core requirements. Currently, courses taken at other schools cannot count toward the foreign language requirement. Thompson said some people saw this policy as a weakness ofCurriculum 2000. ‘The foreign language issue is, I think, a legitimate concern about, ‘Well, how about if I go to Middlebury in the summer, why can’t I transfer that Spanish course?”’ he said. Chafe said he thinks the issue will be most critical for the over 50 percent of students who have Spanish as their language of choice. ‘That’s where the burden is greatest on the teachers, and that’s where it’s easiest to get credits away from Duke,” he said.

Other topics for the committee’s review may include mandating that one Research course be in the student’s major field and giving and additional halfcredit for laboratory courses. Administrators spent the summer surveying students and faculty and examining data from the first three years of Curriculum 2000. Thompson is in the process of conducting a detailed analysis, which has so far provided no major surprises. “Nothing startling, nothing with a big red flag, and that’s a relief,” he said. “So far, I haven’t seen anything that’s caused me to worry.” The general sentiment expressed by upper-level administrators is that Curriculum 2000 has served the University well, and no major overhaul will come of the curriculum review. Provost Peter Lange praised the curriculum’s educational breadth, consistency, emphasis on principles of liberal arts education and varied modes of inquiry as strengths. Thompson added that the greatest success of Curriculum 2000 has been the freshman writing program. The review committee is expected to present its findings to Chafe around the end of the fall semester. Thompson said any major changes would not likely be implemented until 2005-2006 at the earliest.

outgoing Board Chair Harold “Spike” Yoh said during the Board’s Graduation Weekend visit to campus that the sub-committees’ May meetings set the stage for a swift approval in October. “What we try to do in the meeting before something comes to a big vote is try to air it to get a complete consensus and to know wdiat kind of additional information is you’ve got a building and grounds thing, you’ve got a finance thing, you have an academic thing,” \bh said. “Everything ties'in to something along those lines and you’ve got to consider all the differentalternatives.” Keohane said the Board is trying to get committees like Buildings and Grounds and Business and Finance to start planning for such projects earlier in the process. In May, B & G and B & F discussed Pratt expansion in length, and the Student Affairs and Academic Affairs committees held a joint session to weigh the expan-

ing the Science, Technology and Society Mode of Inquiry, which has also drawn criticism from some students and faculty members in the sciences. “As it stands, [STS courses are] mosdy taught in the humanities and social sciences,” said Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson. “It’s not easy for a

sion’s impact on student life. ‘The Board is rightly quite protective of the quality of undergraduate student life... so when this idea first came up a couple years ago, a number of the Trustees said, ‘Wait you’re really going to have to prove this to us because we don’t want the wonderful quality of the Duke undergraduate experience to change and—even adding 200 students—to show us what that would mean,”’ Keohane said. She added that when CIEMAS opens, Pratt will be able to accommodate the 200 additional students with appropriate academic and research facilities and faculty without changing the quality of their experience. “We’re going to make sure that things like building a new dormitory on East is not going to diminish the quality ofeveryone else’s experience,” Keohane said. “In the long run it’s going to work out” Administrators have been discussing possible locations for the new freshman dorm. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said the layout of Blackwell and Randolph dormitories—the newest buildings on East—would seem to suggest adding a third, similarlyshaped building to create a quadrangle. However, the new dorm would probably instead run behind Randolph towardBroad Street, although plans are still preliminary. Trask added that a new pedestrian pathway toward Ninth Street—complete with a large welcome arch—could accompany the dorm. It is still unknown how the additional 150 upperclass students would impact housing on West and Central campuses. Trask said the new residents could necessitate an additional dormitory on West—perhaps in the wooded area on Towerview Road between Card Gym Lot and the Sanford Institute for Public Policy—or they could be absorbed into the apartments in the new Central Campus. .

Although Bryan said the process of revising the policy and procedures was “a very emotional and draining experience for everyone involved,” he expressed satisfaction with the results. “We’re sending a clear signal that the University takes this issue very seriously, and sexual assault is not going to be tolerated on this campus,” he said.

40 percent, unless your costs have gone up 40 percent, which I doubt.” Another source of disgruntiement is that for the first time, temporary employees will be asked to pay for parking. ‘We temps [have] just been informed that as of June 30... we have to buy a parking pass like we are full-time employees [but] without the benefits of paid holidays, sick days or general medical [insurance],” Tony Smith, a temp in the Duke Mail Room, wrote in an e-mail. “If Duke was going to do this to the temps, then they should offer us some form ofmedical plan or vacation days to offset the fact they

CHILD CO-OP from page 15 “I guess my hope would be that there would be some level of support [from the University] that would allow [the co-op to develop],” Gordon said. “University support could help sustain the program over time.” Because liability has been one of the University’s major concerns when dealing with childcare, there is currently only one on-campus option for parents. However, this option, the Children’s Campus, is out ofmany parents’ price range and can enroll only a limited number of children. “Even with [this summer’s 6,900square-foot] expansion, there is still limited space available, so even though the ex-

us to kick out more money a year without benefits.” Reeve defended the billing of temps as a matter of equity. “Anyone coming to campus has to pay to park, whether you’re a visitor, a fulltime employee or a temporary employee,” she said. “You can’t tell one group that they have to pay and another doesn’t when they’re getting the same level of service. I think that that is the equitable thing to do.” Staff members at Parking and Transportation Services have tried to answer employees’ questions about the rate hikes and pretax feature by providing town-hallstyle meetings, information on the parking website and a special pretax hodine that ran for three weeks in June and July. “We’re trying to say, ‘Yes, we’ve got this big Jump in the road, but we’ve learned our lesson; we’re going to be better business managers,”’ Reeve said. want

pansion has met some need, it hasn’t met all the needs,” Gordon said. “Plus, that is a very expensive option.” Advocates of the co-op hope a parentrun daycare could expand parents’ options by virtue of being more affordable. The childcare co-op would reside in a trailer that was formerly used by the Children’s Campus and is properly fitted for housing up to 15 or 20 children at a time. The trailer could be placed anywhere near University utility connections, but organizers may also consider other factors such as parking, play areas and potential convenience to parents. In order for the facility to operate as an unlicensed childcare center, parents would not be able to leave their children for more than four hours at a time.

SANTILLAN from page 3 One of Duke’s longtime missions has been to provide philanthropic services for needy patients, a commitment that is embodied in the Santillan fund, said Jeff Molter, Medical Center spokesperson. ‘The Duke University Health System is still firmly committed to doing a fund to honor Jesica Santillan,” Molter added. Although Santillan is withdrawing her support from the fund, she is actively investigating Duke’s account of the medical proceedings involving her daughter, as recorded in Jesica’s medical records. Jesica, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, came to Duke with her mother for the chance to receive a new heart and lungs. The initial transplant went wrong, however, as doctors placed organs that did not match the teenager’s blood type. Although a second set of organs was soon found, the next surgery was unsuccessful, and the teenager died less than two weeks after her first operation. Mahoney said Duke is not cooperating and that it refuses to release the records the Santillan family wants. “Duke’s not giving the operating records, only the admissions [record],” he said. “[The Santillans] have every right to know [what is in the operating records], no matter how gruesome.”

[25

Barbara Woolley, director of health records and information, said a patient or a patient’s parents are entitled to a copy of the medical records but not peer reviews, in which doctors judge doctors. “If [the medical records] had been requested and there had been an authorization, then we would have released them. If the operative record is in the medical record, then we would release that as well,” Woolley said, referring to policy

procedures.

If the Santillan family cannot get their questions answered and cannot get “substantial” compensation from Duke, they may have no choice but to sue, Mahoney said. “Duke needs to come forward, sit down and talk, and something substantial—not some little slap on the wrists for Duke—[needs to result],” Mahoney said. Last month, the Santillan family also hired attorney Howard Nations, who practices in Houston, to continue investigating the matter. In declining comment, Nations indicated that a lawsuit was in the works. Duke ultimately accepts the blame for Jesica’s death and has taken numerous steps to bolster patient safety. “Duke acknowledged very early on that they were responsibility for the death of the child,” Burness said.

dismissed from the University in 1997, he filed suit, claiming that the University was violating patent law by continuing to run the lab in his absence. The University countered that it had a legal right to use the lab and its contents under the “research exception,” which allows scientists and others conducting experiments to use devices, research tools or procedures that are covered by patents held by other parties, as long as those researchers are using the patented objects or technologies for non-business purposes. A federal district court in Greensboro agreed that Duke’s use of the lab was included in the research exception and ruled in favor of the University, but a Washington, D.C., appeals court reversed the verdict. The appeals court ruled that the research exception was for very limited uses—“for amusement, to satisfy idle curiosity or for strictly philosophical inquiry”—casting doubt on whether the research exception was even applicable for university research. This ruling prompted Duke to try to take its case before the Supreme Court, where it argued that the appeals court verdict “seals the coffin on the experimental-use exception for private universities.” More than two dozen universities and academic organizations signed amicus briefs in support of Duke and urged the Supreme Court to take the case, arguing that unless the verdict were overturned, university researchers would be impeded by having to constantly check whether their activities violate patent laws. “It could add considerably to the cost of doing research,” Siedow said, “and it

In 1998, Duke became the country’s first university to adopt a code of conduct that required licensees, their contractors and sub-contractors to accept independent monitoring of factory working conditions. Later that year, Duke became the first university member of the Apparel Industry Partnership, which would eventually become the FLA. Duke and the 178 other colleges and universities affiliated with the FLA require all of their licensees to participate in the organization. The seven companies included in the report were adidas-Salomon; Eddie Bauer; Levi Strauss and Co.; Liz Claiborne, Inc.; Nike; Phillips-Van Heusen; and Reebok. Wilkerson said Nike is the only one of the seven licensed by Duke. Nike conducted two types of auditing on its facilities across the world—1,056 by Nike staff and 426 through third-party monitors. During the yearlong monitoring period, FLA-accredited independent monitors also monitored 63 applicable Nike footwear and apparel and equipment factories, or eight percent ofNike’s applicable facilities. The FLA report stressed that no trends could be determined based on the first year of monitoring. In the second year of monitoring, the organization plans to increase its own independence in the monitoring process as well as try to be more transparent with the results of factory monitoring and more collaborative in its approach to ensuring compliance.

could conceivably make research a lot more difficult if basically... anytime you do an experiment, [you have to make] sure you’re not running afoul of anyone’s patent when you’re doing that. That could get extremely complicated.” Randall Roden, Madey’s lawyer, dismissed these arguments. “The idea that they shouldn’t make every effort to have a patent-compliance policy doesn’t make sense,” he told The Chronicle of Higher Education. Kenneth Sibley, an adjunct professor at Duke and patent law expert, said he was surprised by some of the substantive issues voiced by the Supreme Court in declining to hear the case. “I think the current [Presidential] administration—and the

Supreme Court did seek the comments of the administration through the solicitor general—has expressed concern about overreaching through the use of the patent laws and the improper withdrawal of technology from the public domain. This case would seem to tie into those concerns,” he said. Sibley added that the next step for the case will likely be a return to the federal district court in Greensboro for more factfinding and possibly a full trial. A group including Provost Peter Lange and Dean of the School ofMedicine Sandy Williams will meet later this month to discuss the ramifications of the most recent developments, and where the University will go from here.

AILIAN GAN for THE CHRONICLE

The free electron lasor at Duke, which former FEL Laborartory director Dr. John Madey invented, has become the centerpiece of a crucial sourt casey involving universities and patent-holding scientists.

OIE provides important resources to its several program areas:

Duke University is a community of approximately 34,000 people students, faculty and employees. This community produces 12,000 tons of garbage a year. Duke students produce 3,500 tons of trash every year that's an average of 4 pounds per student a day. The two Duke Dining Halls throw away approximately 286 tons of material each year. That is 572,000 lbs of garbage each year. -

The West Campus Main Quad Dormitories produce garbage that is equal to throwing away 135 cars a year. Duke Recycles processed 175 tons of newspaper last year. This is equivalent to saving more than all of the trees on East Campus. The United States represents 5% of the world's population, uses 25% of the world's resources and produces 30% of the world's garbage. Americans throw away enough aluminum every three months to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet. Americans discard over 4 million tons of paper a year enough to build a 12 foot wall from New York to California. -

Duke Recycles recently finished its fiscal year and with your help over the past two semesters, we are on pace for another record breaking finish. Though the final numbers are not in as of this Send Home Issue, we estimate that we will break the 1,241 ton mark of recycled goods that we processed this year. Duke Recycles would like to thank you for your efforts in helping us reach this goal. It all begins with you sorting your materials properly. Hopefully, through our collective teamwork, we can have another record breaking campaign next year and ensure that Duke University maintains its status as a good environmental citizen.

Cross-Cultural and Diversity Education and Consultation The Cross-Cultural/Diversity Education and Consultation program area coordinates the training and education activities in all program areas of the office by providing the following services: consultation with managers about the development of diversity initiatives, designing/facilitating diversity workshops and learning experiences, and consulting with managers about problematic cross-cultural interactions in their work environment. This program area also provides leadership to the University community in formulating and implementing organization-wide diversity initiatives to enhance equity and inclusiveness.

Disability Compliance The primary focus of the Disability Compliance section of OIE is to provide for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints from faculty, students, staff and the public alleging discrimination based on disability. OIE works in collaboration with the Disability Management System Office and other units to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act. OIE also related to the ADA and Rehabilitation Act.

Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action The Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action (EO/AA) program area assists the University in fulfilling the spirit and the letter of federal and state laws and university policies that are intended to redress past discrimination and promote equal opportunity and an equitable work environment. EO/AA implements, integrates and coordinates University efforts for successful affirmative action programs/initiatives, including preparation of the annual affirmative actions plans and programs. The program area is responsible for monitoring faculty and staff employment transactions, including, but not limited to recruitment, selection, compensation, assignment, promotion and termination. Professional development and training opportunities for staff and faculty are also offered. Harassment Prevention and Gender Equity Programs The Harassment Prevention program area administers Duke's Harassment Policy. This program is responsible for implementing and monitoring Duke's Harassment Policy and provides advice, assistance and education to individuals and groups on issues concerning harassment prevention and complaint handling. Additionally, this program area addresses gender equity and Title IX issues in the workplace and educational contexts.

HOUSING from page 12 Many students expressed displeasure with the new policy, however, saying it was “unfair” and “excessive” for students to have to pay for both their former on-campus housing and whatever new housing they acquire. “In a real world situation if you were kicked out of your apartment, they don’t make you pay for the remainder of the lease,” said seniorKatie Halliday. Junior Rhys Marsh, who was not allowed to live in University housing for his sophomore year because of an incident when he was a freshman, said the policy unnecessarily compounds the difficulty and strain of being forced off campus. “They’re already asking me to do something that will have a huge effect on my life,” he said. “Just asking me to take that step [of moving off campus] is enough punishment. [Forcing students to pay the full contract amount] is really rubbing the salt in.” Hull said he understood that point of view but added that “the beautiful thing about this is that [disciplinary violations

are] completely avoidable.” Since most students’ housing contracts are for the full year, if they are expelled from University housing in the fall semester, they will have to pay for spring semester housing as well. Marsh called it “crazy” for the University to charge students for housing if their room was going to be used by students in the spring semester anyway. ‘There’s students coming back from abroad and there are transfer students, so they can fill that space,” he said. “It sounds to me like a totally inappropriate policy, if there’s an opportunity to get that money back without doubly charging.” Colleen Denny, a junior, suggested a

compromise. “Although it seems extreme for kickedout students to necessarily have to pay through the end of the year, it also doesn’t seem fair for them to get off relatively scot-free—l mean, they did sign a housing

contract with the school and then break

their word,” she said. “Maybe the middle ground compromise would just be to assign a set monetary penalty that would have to be paid by all students who lose their housing.” make sure this change doesn’t make people think we’re just ignoring this and putting it on the wayside.

problems with the curriculum,” Thompson wrote. “Rather the increase reflects additional opportunities.,.. The campus in the summer has a wonderful, relaxed, intergenerational ambiance.” Gilbert, who is also assistant dean of Trinity College, said increased summer session enrollments have translated into slightly larger classes, although most still have fewer than 20 students. “Courses larger than that are—almost without exception—to be found in biology, chemistry and physics,” she wrote. In particular, she said there was a jump in enrollment this summer for Physics 53L and 54L due to policy changes in that

department.

Despite slightly larger summer class sizes, administrators agreed that increased summer enrollment has, overall, been beneficial to students and to the University. For example, increased enrollments have allowed the University to schedule some additional courses over the summer,

summer session. “The increased demand allows us to make commitments to faculty to teach in the summer, increases predictability ofofferings for both faculty and students, and increases the number of course offer-

ings,” Thompson wrote.

William Chafe, dean of the faculty of Arts & Sciences, noted that increased enrollments may induce more faculty of rank to respond to the demand. He added that another perk to increased summer school enrollments has been the “extraordinary revenue, which was unexpected,” generated from summer tuition. He estimated that Arts & Sciences has received a quarter to a third more revenue from recent summer sessions. Thompson acknowledged the role of summer session revenue within Arts & Sciences, but stressed that the sessions are “educationally driven.” ‘The purpose is to meet an educational need, not to generate revenue,” he wrote. “But of course, revenue is nice if it happens.” a statement Additional checks will likely have a positive effect on patient safety, Davis said. He added that the stress of increased verification will primarily affect hospital staff rather than doctors, who have always been accountable for checking blood compatibility. “I think that there’s a little bit of morale cost. Most of this stuff is done in the middle of the night. What that means is that people are awake and doing more work at times when they would rather be doing other activities, like sleeping,” Davis said. “But they do increase safety.” in

Durham Regional projects 2003 profit

Durham Regional Hospital, which the Duke University Health System acquired under a 1998 lease agreement, announced it expected to post a profit for the first time in half a decade. The hospital anticipated a $1.3 million profit for the fiscal year 2003, which concluded at the end of June. Since DUHS gained control of the hospital, administrators have worked to eliminate excess costs and to increase productivity. In addition, increased volume in surgery and in the endoscopy unit helped Durham Regional defy the $3.3 million shortfall that was projected at the beginning of the year. The hospital was also aided by a $950,000 gift from the Durham County Hospital Corporation and an additional $400,000 from a lease agreement with Select Medical for space in the hospital.

KEEP IN MIND Fall Semester 2003 Free Press and Public Policy (PPS 154), Charles Firestone Explores the historical and philosophical underpinnings of freedom of the press and other facets of the First Amendment, the relationship between the press and public policy, legal and ethical issues faced by journalists, and problems in interpreting and applying First Amendment principles to evolving information technologies. Topics include issues of government censorship, defamation, privacy, media access to information, access to the media, media ownership issues, new technologies, and intellectual property.

NEW COURSE, Spring Semester 2004 Television News and Public Policy (PPS 264.X) John Dancy PLEASE NOTE: PPS 118, Television Journalism will be a prerequisite for the new course, so students will need to sign up for PPS 118, which is being offered Fall Semester 2003.

Authorities said as many as 50people may have been crammed onto the third-story porch before it collapsed and quickly trapped a number ofpeople on the porches directly below in a pile of debris. A handful of other recent Duke graduates survived the accident. While at Duke, Sheriff earned a bachelor of arts degree with a major in political science.

George’s Garage. Everyone who knew her would agree, Katie always got her way, but with her charm and mischievious smile, who wouldn’t want to follow along? I was her wingman, which typically meant being in the wake of a force to be reckoned with, watching the hearts break and most nights, helping her find her purse. If anyone reading this remembers the infamous ‘Wannabomber”—that scandal was all Katie’s. Our sophomore year, our triple in Wannamaker 104 became campus wide news on account of a fraternity prank gone awry. I’ll never forget going to visit Katie in the ER that night, so incredibly scared that anything could have happened to my best friend. Of course, she was doing well, and laughing at all of us for our tears and our concern... arid that’s exacdy how I picture her now. In heaven, with a cosmo, head thrown back in laughter. Her crazy blond hair blowing in the wind and light dancing in her crystal blue eyes. Katie, in every good time I have, I’ll know it’s in part thanks to you, because you taught me how to have fun and always reminded to me

Katie

Sheriff loved Duke in the way it was meant to be loved. She worked hard and she played hard, and she brought a life and vitality to every room she entered, be it one of her Poly. Sci. classes or the Hideaway.

Her best friends always called her the “Beat-

ing Heart of Duke University” because no one

abreast of the gossip or campus wide goings-on than our “Reefer.” She and I lived together for all four years of college, and in all honesty, I think upon our first meeting, we were was more

just like a Fourth of July firecracker. “hot” (pun intended) that we all became warmer and better human beings because of her light. Her personality was like the sun. People young and old, male and female were drawn to her like moths to a flame. Her smile and laughter were infectuous and all of us who knew her and loved her will NEVER forget her. The word NEVER has not had a more fervent meaning. But because she was my daughter, my beautiful baby girl, my ninita pequenita, the hole she has left in my heart and the void she has left in my life is indescribably huge. We will all need each other to get through this. She would want us to live, laugh, get married and have babies and continue with earth’s business, remembering her beauty, kindness, laughter and profound LOVE OF LIFE, every day. I wonder today how I will make it to tomorrow, but I know somehow, some way, I will. Just look around you. She is everywhere.

Coming from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and North Carolina, we’ve made each other family in this home away from home. Katie Sheriff was an extension of our own families. It has never been more fitting to describe an individual as being “full of life.” Katie was just that—animated, beautiful, gregarious, witty, hilarious, charismatic and oh so full of life. We are overcome by grief, sadness and disbelief over the loss of our friend. Katie loved everything about her Duke experience and was the first in our group of friends to proudly state to any and every stranger we met in Chicago that we are all, in fact, “Duke girls.” Katie Sheriff was the sprite in

when you wanted to cry, she always greeted you with a hug and she knew when to give you a shove towards trouble, just to make life interesting. We shared so many crazy times, spanning from Paris to Myrtle Beach, S.C. But Katie would make even seemingly banal moments in life full of surprise and promise. Katie would leave little notes on my car when she saw it on campus. Such a stupid little thing, but I think that it is the kind of gesture that speaks volumes about her ability to make people laugh, her wit, her enthusiasm and the abundance of love that she gave so generously to people.

And then I remembered her heating up frozen vegetables and smothering the concoction in spray butter. Perfection? I’d like to think; yes. If she picked the stuff, if she picked me, then it was because it made her life more perfect to have the stuff and to have me—her little monkey and pumpkinhead—in it. We all fulfilled a role in Katie’s story-telling, attention-grabbing quest for perfection; she wouldn’t have picked us otherwise. Everyone, remember that when trying to rationalize why you deserved to have such an amazing person in your life. And Katie, know that you will forever be a role in my life, forcing me to strive for perfection, because if you loved me as I love you, then I deserve it too. Hmph. —Nina Flax

Hospital patient thought to have SARS, later exonerated An Orange County patient being treated at Duke University Hospital was suspected of SARS, but was diagnosed instead with mycoplasma pneumonia. The patient came to the Emergency Department June 10 and was released shortly thereafter. He was briefly placed under quarantine, but was removed when the disease was determined not to be the respiratory disorder that swept East Asia and turned up in various places within the United States and Canada.

Faculty question ACC expansion

The Executive Committee of Academic Council weighed in with its opinion on the Atlantic Coast Conference expansion and came down hard on the ultimately successful bid to add new schools. Its primary complaint was with the conference’s failure to consult the faculties of its member schools. “The entire process wasn’t done with proper faculty consultation,” said Dr.

Asian matriculation hits record high

The class of 2007 entering the University this fall will be stronger and markedly more Asian and Asian-American, reported Christopher Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions. About 295 Asian and Asian-American students will matriculate with the next class—a record high, up from 239 last year, comprising 18 percent of the total number of entering freshmen. A flourishing international

applicant pool and possibly a changing perception of the University were reasons for the Gutincrease, tentag said “I think we may be at a point where there’s a

The May 6 acquittal in Durham County District Court answered charges that the three had assaulted a North Carolina Central University student March 30. Judge Ann McKown attributed the ruling to a lack of evidence against the defendants. “This is not because I found everything credible, because that is certainly not the case,” McKown said in her ruling. “But based on the burden of proof, the plaintiff could not prove [the charges] beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Dare to face reality

The Independent Daily at Duke University

Thanks for listening The administration was right to eliminate the alcohol-related orientation program When the Class of 2007 descends upon campus a month from now, its members will not have to endure one of the most dreaded events of the orientation process: So You Wanna Get Buzzed, an hour-long presentation on the ins and outs of alcohol and drug use. The session has been eliminated in favor of the use of a new online education program, AlcoholEdu,' which was developed by graduate Brandon Busteed, Trinity ’99, a former Young Trustee. Incoming freshmen: You should be thanking your lucky stars, not to mention the upperclassmen whose complaints in years past about the program led Student Affairs administrators to eliminate it. This is not to say that learning the facts about drinking responsibly and irresponsibly should not be an important part of the first few weeks of a student’s college experience. The world of drinking in college is dramatically different than that of high school, and students—those who care to drink and the many who do not—should learn everything they can about the physical effects of Busch Lite, Long Island Iced Teas and everything in between. However, the lecture format and Baldwin Auditorium setting of Buzzed was the wrong method in getting across this important information. Alcohol.edu, an interactive three-hour program that can be viewed in sections, seems at first a bit dry and possibly too time-consuming. But learning this information from the privacy of one’s dorm room computer seems like an appropriate way to learn about drinking. One is much less likely to make jokes with neighbors or get distracted by hot new classmates, and one is much more likely to take the presented material seriously. Administrators should make the program as mandatory as possible indeed, one ofthe fatal flaws of its predecessor is that freshmen quickly learn that “mandatory” is a loose term during orientation. Further, although some studies show that incoming students are too inundated with information early in their college careers, freshmen should take the program before they get too engrossed in the alcohol culture, definitely within the first week of school. The online program will be supplemented by more alcohol-centered skits in The Real Deal, another orientation session that uses upper-class students to act out short “real life” scenes about such issues as hooking up and eating disorders. While this move is welcomed, perhaps an additional venue for such frank discussion may be during resident advisors’ first hall meetings of the year. Along with the requisite talk about the alcohol policy, RAs should relate to their residents their own experience with drinking responsibily. Ultimately, the Office of the Dean of Students should be praised for actually listening to students on this issue. It is not the content, but the delivery of alcohol education that sudents have objected to in the past, and it is nice to see the adminstration realize that a program wasn’t working and then not be afraid to let it go. —

I was walking down Michigan Avenue and a woman was holding a “homeless” sign with her two little children. Her calloused hands were grasping a cup filled with a scanty assortment of coins. I stopped to talk with her and offered her the number of the shelter I work here in Chicago as part of my Service Opportunities in Leadership internship. ”Do they take children? I have a son with special needs, too, and a lot of places won’t take him,” she said as her voice trailed off and her eyes looked down at the ground, expecting the worst.

Bridget Newman I smiled at her reassuringly. “Actually, there is a woman at the shelter now with a special needs child. There is a nursery and childcare is provided if you need to go to a class or job interview or anything like that.” “Thank you so much, I am gonna call this number right away. Yeah, we really need a place to stay. Thank you so much,” she said as I smiled at her adorable children and begin to walk away. I knew I shouldn’t have walked away. I should have called the shelter right there, and stayed with her until she found a place to sleep that night. I should have offered her and her children a place on our pullout bed or our floor. I should have bought them dinner. I am so tired of leaving poor women and children behind and I know I want to devote my life to fighting poverty. My SOL internship is only further convincing me that as Duke students we have an obligation to try to make this society better. I think learning is good when we are trying to better understand how to build a more equitable and just society. If we are just at Duke to earn a piece of paper that entides us to suchand-such wage after taking the requisite number of classes that we didn’t even like anyway, then I think “learning” is purposeless. Part of realizing our responsibility to improve society is that we must make an effort to listen to others. We might know certain theories or have read famous philosophers, but most of us don’t know anything about poverty. I grew up in a low-income household, but I was never hungry. I was never homeless. I know that when I speak with homeless women I need to remember that they have a wealth of knowledge I can’t even comprehend, and they also have the best idea of what needs to be changed to help prevent homelessness or get the homeless back on their feet.

Want

write a

Duke students are great at participating in community service, but we are pretty clueless when it comes to addressing the roots of social problems. I don’t think it’s enough that we volunteer every once in a while and feel better about ourselves. I want to hear debates over dinner about how to solve America’s health care crisis. I want to overhear discussions about homelessness in this country. Programs such as SOL help to educate Duke students in service and community organizing, but they lack a connection to a greater university commitment to social justice. Our future career plans need some work as well. I find it disturbing that many Duke students aspire to be investment bankers or corporate lawyers rather than teachers or social workers. We need to help fill the need for well-educated and energetic people in the helping professions. I think more Duke students would choose these kind of professions if they did enough soul-searching and thought about the things that truly make them happy. Do corporate mergers really make you smile, or is it the laughter of a child learning to read? Will intellectual property law make your life meaningful, or will finding someone a place to live? Part of the reason why many Duke students don’t choose these professions is of course, money. I understand this. My mother almost cried when I told her I had thought about being a teacher because shemakes eight dollars an hour as a teacher’s assistant. But I also know that she loves the kids she works with and she could never make a living from someone else’s misfortune. I understand the need to make money but I would argue that three cars and a huge house doesn’t makeyou any happier than an old Volvo and a little place you call home. This university could even encourage its students to choose careers in social services and nonprofits. Duke could make the helping professions a more viable option for students by forgiving loans for students who dare to choose these less lucrative careers. Just as the School of Law forgives loans for law students who pursue careers with nonprofits, Duke could forgive loans to undergraduates who choose these careers as well. Sometimes this university sells itself merely as the creator of future CEOs and I think Duke is much more than that Duke should be committed to nurturing the future teachers and community organizers of the world along with its engineers and lawyers. I know many of us will still be investment bankers or bioengineers, and that’s fine. If a bridge falls, I want an engineer around to fix it. But we need people to try to fix our social system, too. We need to encourage those who dare to not walk away. Bridget Newman is a Trinity junior.

up gangstas. To those who know the column and have come back, respect. For all you freshman, step right up and experience "TALing It Like It Is." Welcome to the Chronicle and all it has to offer. This is the first issue of what is sure to become the core of your Duke existence. Whether it is student government resolutions, Mid-East peace talks, or absurd basketball predictions, you will find it all between these 14 pages. What it lacks in depth and coverage of important real-world news it makes up for in two major qualities: 1. It is always free, and 2. It is always there. Add that to the crossword, and you’ve got a decent daily newspaper.

Tal Hirsh berg

I must be honest with first time readers: more often than not, my column is cynical, satirical, and most of all, critical. However, this being one of the first things you have read from Duke since "We are pleased to extend you a spot in the Class of 2007..." I highly doubt you want to hear me bitch about random issues. But I won’t insult your intelligence either with fluff. Instead, let me school you about college. I distinctly remember the' feeling I had right about this time 3 years ago, less than a month before my freshman year. It is a feeling I’m sure most of us had, and what you freshman right now must be feeling. That mixture of anticipation of meeting all these new people, nervousness about living on my own, trepidation about the college work-

load and elation at getting as far away from my parents as possible. I soon learned, however, that there was nothing to worry about concerning college. They truly do not lie when they say college is the time of your life. And if you don’t believe me, let me tell you a little bit about my summer. Summers ain’t what they used to be. What happened to day becoming night becoming day again for two-and-a-half months at a time? Endless time spent at the beach, at sleep-away camps, doing absolutely nothing. It was the school year you dreaded, having something like nine classes a day. Even after my freshman year, I returned from college to waste away as a chair boy on the lovely beaches of south shore Long Island, New York. (Stop laughing, they ARE lovely.) Nowadays, I dread summer. If college is supposed to signify, growing up, then why is the only time I feel like its real life is during the summer? During the school year, I get up at 10 at the earliest for the first of two classes, unless it’s Friday, because in college, Friday is part of the weekend. Four classes, and some of them only meet ONCE a week. That’s about two and a half hours of in-class time per subject, times four classes... something like 6 hours ofclass. Sure you have to put in a bunch of time outside the classroom, but it’s definitely more comfortable falling asleep in your dorm room than in lecture. Till May, that is. Currendy, most of us seniors are spending our days at 8-hour jobs that are very similar to the jobs we will be doing for the next 30 years. Some have, for some irrational reason, chosen to work even longer hours, not seeing the sun for days at a time. We call those people Economics majors, and yes, it sucks to be them. My favorite number has become 5:00, and I have the same reaction to Mon-

days in July as I did to Tuesdays with Monde—l feel like crying. I recently sat down with a few of my friends, and we all stressed how much we couldn’t wait to get back to school. Only four years ago, I counted down the days of the school year and never wanted August to end. Now I don’t know what I dread more: finals or the three months of internships that follow them. So let me tell you, enjoy this summer, and just imagine the ridiculousness you have awaiting you when it ends. A 4-year long Mitch-a-palooza. Think of what Duke has to offer: An Ivy level education, top-ofthe-line facilities, Division 1-A sports in the all new ACC (Accumulating Cash Conference), and same-sex marriages in the Chapel. Four years of beer, basketball and sometimes books. And great weather, but that doesn’t start with a B. However, I will warn you—Duke is only what you make of it. It’s not the metropolis of places like New York City and Boston, and it’s not the college towns of Ann Arbor and College Park. There are many options, but it is up to you to take advantage of them. If you don’t want the next four years ofyour life to fly by, (and they will anyway), get creative. Take trips to the Duke Gardens or hit up Chapel Hill. Just don’t make Duke a job you hate going to and can’t wait to end. That’s what your summer are for. Tal Hirsberg is a Trinity senior.

nored while management grows.” And the last I heard, his requests were still ignored. We hear about workplace injustices, but we can never truly learn and understand them until we are right there, hearing it from our own coworkers. No one can know what working a minimum wage job is like until working one, especially with the current job market. The people ofAmerica that are referred to so widely are now our coworkers and will be some of the closest people to us for the summer. Time to get over being a full-time Duke student and realize that in the hourly-rate job world, everyone is equal and trying to make ends meet. And through it all, they usually find ways of making the workplace as interesting as possible, unconsciously making work bearable for everyone else. For those of us who have experience working from high school and before, this is nothing new. But the novelty ofit comes with now being on these tracks of life that thrive on our competition with one another in all areas. Working does not seem like an enriching experience to many people, and for many who do work, it will just be a means to get money. But whenyou suddenly walk offof the path of your carefully constructed future and spend a summer without the pressures of the super student body, you’ll be a step closer to facing the reality of most Americans. Even college graduates are searching for work right now, filling the positions that undergraduate students and individuals without college experience usually fill. But if we don’t get a job for the summer, we know that we’ll have our food points and financial aid, Sallie Mae loans and Duke scholarships waiting for us. Emily LaDue is a Trinity sophomore.

FROM THE EDITOR

New Year, New Look, New Style Dear Reader:

When the person I had charged with redesigning The Chronicle pulled out a piece of notebook paper and eight Crayola markers several months ago, I got a little worried. Yes, he appears to be designing pages, but he’s doing it with Wild Strawberry, Periwinkle and Jungle Green, I thought back in March. I have since learned that when Whitney Robinson, The Chronicle’s first ever design editor, pulls out a marker and a piece of paper, you pay attention. Whitney’s colorful scribblings—sometimes inscrutable, usually eyeopening—have evolved into the annual send-home issue that you hold in your hands today. With the help of photography editor Anthony Cross, sports editor Mike -rey, Recess editors Dean Chapman d David Walters and TowerView ed>r Tyler Rosen, along with The ronicle’s top news editors, manageditor Jane Hetherington and my;lf, Whitney has completely transformed the look and feel of The Chronicle and its three magazines. Indeed, not one of the 124 editorial pages of this issue has gone untouched. The result is a clean, bold and reader-friendly look, complete with new fonts, new flags and new layouts. Our photos and graphics are looking better than ever, and our headlines and stories are now jumping off the page. If it sounds like I’m a father gushing over his child’s report card, it’s pardy because none of us have slept in two weeks, but mosdy because the redesign is everything I hoped for and more. Our redesign will not stop short at the visual look of the paper or its magazines, however. We hope that over the next year a new style of story will emerge in The Chronicle. Our usual comprehensive coverage of the latest breaking and continuing news at the University, in the Health System and in Durham will of course continue. But we will be augmenting these articles with more personalized, slice-of-life and investigative stories, where the people—not the policies—of the Duke community receive special attention. The send-home issue is, by necessity, one dereft of such stories because so much happens on the hard news front when the school year ends—and The Chronicle stops daily publication, we like to think. However, University editors Andrew Collins and Cindy Yee and Health and Science editors Malavika Prabhu and Liana Wyler have put together an exciting and compelling array of articles meant to catch you up on all the latest and get you ready for the school year (34 days and counting, by the way). With that said, welcome to the 99th volume ofThe Chronicle. Crayola-influenced or not, we hope you like our style. ,

Foreign flavor provides boost to Duke athletics By

ways to improve their programs. Men’s basketball—the only sport in which the NCAA tracks the number of international athletes—has seen remarkable growth in the past decade. In 1993, 135 players came from overseas; by 2003, that number nearly tripled to 392, or nine percent of all Division I players. The international flavor is also especially evident in men’s and women’s tennis, as few options exist in Europe or Asia for players who want to continue competing while also furthering their education. “If I stayed in France then I would have had to decide between playing tennis or studying, because after high school it is hard to combine tennis at a high level with studies,” said Walter, who played both singles and doubles for the Blue Devils as a freshman in 2003. “I think tennis players are aware that it is risky to turn pro right after high school because competition is getting tough. Getting an education is the best way to make your future safe.” The International Tennis Association reports that 30 percent of Division I college players are foreign bom, and many of these athletes are making a dramatic impact at the top of the game. In the final 2003 rankings, international athletes accounted for approximately 50 percent of the top-100 males and females. “The number of foreigners is definitely increasing,” Duke women’s tennis coach Jamie Ashworth said. “I think increased access to international players with the Internet is part of it, but also the pressure to win is very important. Historically, some schools aren’t getting the best American kids. They almost use foreigners as a quick fix.”

Catherine Sullivan THE CHRONICLE

In 2002 the Duke women’s golf team won its second national championship in four years. This impressive feat was accomplished with the top collegiate golfers in the world. Literally. Virada Nirapathpongporn, Candy Hannemann, Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh and Kristina Engstrom hailed from Thailand, Brazil, Switzerland and Sweden, respectively. Only one member of the team—-Indiana’s Leigh Ann Hardin—was born in the United States. ‘We’ve had a great time with our foreigners,” women’s golf coach Dan Brooks said. “They bring a lot to our team in terms of golf, but it’s also been a great source of humor with the different cultural and language combinations. It’s been a wonderful

experience.” The perennially strong women’s golf program has had the highest percentage

of international student-athletes at Duke in recent years, but many of the Blue Devils’ other squads are also dotted with top foreign talent. Ludovic Walter (men’s tennis, France), Julia Smith (women’s tennis, England), Jessica Foley (women’s basketball, Australia), Owoicho Adogwa and Victor Victorson (men’s soccer, Trinidad and Iceland) and Thora Helgadottir (women’s soccer, Iceland) are among the numerous foreign athletes who play key roles on their respective teams. Duke is hardly unique in benefiting from the prowess of international standouts. In fact, the number of foreigners on NCAA rosters is growing dramatically throughout the country as schools look for

Unlike many schools that actively recruit international athletes to fill their rosters, Duke usually lets interested foreigners make the initial contact. This policy helps to ensure that the Blue Devils get only those who are truly committed to being student-athletes and are not simply using Duke as a one or two-year training ground for future professional careers. “We really don’t encourage actively recruiting international athletes,” Duke athletics director Joe Alieva said. “Although we have some here, most of them have pursued us. It’s not the coach going out to recruit the kid; the kid almost always recruits Duke.” The addition of international athletes also requires athletic departments to check NCAA eligibility requirements carefully, and any violations can lead to penalties against programs.

Several former Blue Devi Is starring on pro stage By Ted Mann

apply for jobs in business. The following day, he received a phone call from Mark Newman, the VP of Scouting and Player Development for the Yankees, offering Caradonna a minor league contract. “All my dreams were crushed,” to

THE CHRONICLE

For most recent graduates, the summer months are a time to adjust to new environments, and setde in to the routine of post-graduation jobs. Brian Patrick, Jeff Alieva and Troy Caradonna are no different, except that their cubicles are dugouts, and their briefcases are bats. Having left the Gothic Wonderland behind, the three former Duke baseball players are making their professional debuts this summer, and finally realizing their longtime dreams: receiving paychecks to play ball. Patrick, who as the 25th round selection of the Blue Jays last month is the only member of the trio to be drafted, was playing for the low Class-A Auburn Doubledays of the New York-Penn league before receiving an unexpected promotion to the Class-AA New Haven Ravens last week. Caradonna was also sent to the New York-Penn league, where he toils for the Staten Island Yankees. Alieva, meanwhile, is pitching for the Royals rookie-level Arizona League affiliate. Although they’re living out their boyhood fantasies, the former Blue Devils are discovering that life in the minor leagues is no cakewalk. They’ve left behind the carefree fun of college ball, but they’re light years away from the glamour of the major leagues. Playing baseball is, for better or for worse, a job, wrought with long bus rides and road trips, less-than-stellar pay, and incessant pressure to perform. “It’s nothing like college,” says J.D. Alieva, Jeff’s older brother, who has played in the Kansas City Royals organization for the past three years since graduating from Duke.

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Larry Broadway was recently named an All-Star as a member of the Montreal Expos AAA team, “Whereas in college you’re just out there having fun, pro ball is much more of an individual game. You’re just trying to do well for yourself.” Not only is pro ball different, it’s far more intense. While Duke plays about 50 or 60 games a year, minor league seasons can stretch to more than twice as long. Instead of playing three or four games a week, Patrick and co. will now be playing almost every day. “It’s a long, marathon season, and it’s a grind,” J.D. Alieva said.

TheFire's Still Burning

Still, for all the tribulations of minor

league baseball, Patrick, Alieva and Caradonna are earning money to play the game they love, while former classmates labor in offices. No matter how long the odds of his playing even a single day in the big leagues, Patrick is able to keep things

m perspective “My job is to play baseball, and I play in front of 1,000 people who are excited to come to the park,” the former Duke rightfielder said. “It’s a pretty easy job. I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing.” He’s faring pretty well at his job, too. Despite hitting a modest .267 with one home run in 16 games at Auburn, Patrick was recalled to New Haven, an enormous three-level leap, to fill in as a utility man for the time being. He’s one of the first members of this year’s draft class to make it to Class-AA. In three games with the Ravens, Patrick has gone 2-for-7. Like Patrick, Troy Caradonna doesn’t take his baseball life for granted. A fouryear starter at catcher and first base for the Blue Devils, Caradonna was not among the 1,480 selections in last month’s draft. The day after the draft’s conclusion, Caradonna was working on his resume, preparing

Caradonna said of going undrafted. “But in the course of a single phone call, the fire was rekindled. I can’t put into words how exciting it is.” JeffAlieva was also unsure of his future before he was inked to a minor league deal by the Royals. Though he plays in the organization, J.D. was unaware of the Royals’ interest in his younger brother. Jeff surprised him with the news right after watching him hit a game-winning home run for Wilmington. J.D. has already filled in his brother on the rigors of pro ball, and is delighted to have Jeff join him in the Royals’ system. “We’re best friends,” J.D. said. “I can’t wait to hang out at spring training.” The two brothers may soon be spending lots of time together. There’s an outside possibility that they could find themselves on the same team in the Royals system, in which case Jeff would be pitching to his older brother. Jeff is doing his part in Arizona thus far, going 1-0 with a 1.35 earned run average in his first seven innings pitched. J.D., meanwhile, is hitting .219 for the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the high Class-A Carolina league.

Bales and Hunter intend Jay Williams home from to bring title to Durham Duke Hospital, rehab next

Alison Bales has improved her conditioning and her shot since graduating as an All-American. By Catherine Sullivan THE CHRONICLE

After competing against each other for four years in high school and AAU basketball, Brittany Hunter and Alison Bales are happy to be joining forces on the Duke women’s team this fall. “I really like being teammates with Brittany better than playing against her,” Bales said. “We didn’tknow each other very well personally in high school, but we played a lot during the regular season and in tournaments.” The two Ohio natives comprise the

Blue Devils’ top-ranked recruiting class in the nation, ahead of No. 2 Texas, No. 3 Vanderbilt and No. 4 Connecticut. Hunter, a 6-foot-2 power forward from Brookhaven High School in Columbus, is one of the most accomplished high school players that Duke has ever landed. Her 23 points, 17 rebounds and five blocked shots per game as a senior earned her numerous post-season accolades. She was named Parade National Play of the Year and was a first-team AllAmerican selection by nearly every major ranking service. Hunter, who was a member of the National Honor Society in high school, believes that her versatile game can fill an immediate need for the Blue Devils on the basketball court. “I’ll bring a strong running game and more rebounding to the team,” she said. “Those were two things that killed them last year when they lost to Tennessee [in the Final Four].” Hunter is certainly accustomed to success, as she led the Brookhaven Bobcats to the semifinals of the Ohio state tournament last year. Her 27 points were not enough to overcome eventual champion Beavercreek High School, which was led by Bales and her 20 points. Like Hunter, Bales had a stellar senior season and was named a Parade First Team All American. She averaged 18 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.5 blocks per game and tallied over 500 blocked shots in her high SEE RECRUITS ON PAGE 23

Closing the gap Mike Corey talks to Carl Franks about ACC expansion, the 2003 season and the future of Duke football Franks on ACC Expansion and its effects on the football program It concerned me specific to Duke University more than anything else. I agreed with President Keohane and Joe Alieva, that I don’t think it was in the best interest of our student athletes, as there are certain concerns as travel, concerns as far as how rivalries will be effected, how scheduling will be effected, how other leagues would be effected. We just didn’tfeel like it was the appropriate thing to do. But the conference voted, and we will move forward and support it. What is important for Duke football is that we continue on the path that we started several years ago Back when Florida State joined the ACC, Duke football remained the same, made no adjustments. Everybody in the league made adjustments to rise up to be able to copmete with Florida Staet, and Duke just stayed flat—we didn’t do anything. We’ve started making some improvements, and we’ve put ourselves in the position to be competitive in the conference. And now hopefully in this coming year we’ve put ourselves in the position to win several games in the conference. But we can’t just stand back and watch everybody of other teams come into the league and not do anything, we have to remain proactive; we have to continue to have a vision and look to see what’s next for Duke football. Every successful business does that, Duke University in general does that, and I think as long as we continue with that philosophy as what do we need to do next, and. how can we keep improving Duke football, then we’ll be in good shape.... Certainly, in the long run I believe it’s going to be good for our conference. It’s certainly going to help football, as far as reputation of this conference. Well I think we’ll be able to compete very well down the road because of some of the changes that we’ve made int he program, in the facilities. I think now that Duke has shown that it’s making a commitment to the football program. And commitment to me is what you do. Your actions, actions that you take, Duke is taking action of placing a new building here that’s 25 million dollars, is supported by our alumni, friends of Duke, and show that they want Duke football to get back. I think the guys that we have on the team right now, especially our fifth-year seniors, which is the bulk of the leadership on our football team, know what kind ofchance they have. They came in here at a time that was pretty tough for Duke football. They came in here knowing that they were coming to help build a program, and that’s kind ofhow we recruited them. I think it’s special to be part of building something, everybody wants to do somethign different.... I know that they want to leave here knowing they built that foundation. There have been a lot of classes that have wanted to do that, and this is a year that they certainly have the opportunity to finally achieve that. We want to recruit guys that want to be great football players and want to be great students..... You can do both of those things, but you have to make sure that you can go out and find the people that have the right character that want to do that, becuase you want to have guys that are going to represent Duke. We did not want to get away from the fact that graduating our players is important. Duke stands for a lot of integrity, it stands for excellence in the classroom. We need to get it back to where it stands for excellence on the football field, and these guys have a good chance of helping us do that.

The effect of the Yoh Football Center on recruiting Well this facility has helped recruiting a great deal, and people in general have made the statement that buildings don’t win football games, but they do. It shows...a commitment ffomt he school to the football program and how well we can train, and treat, and prepaer our athletes. It compares very favorably with just about any facility in the country.... We have a first-class facility that meets all the needs that we certainly have.

Franks on the 2003 season I’m tremendously excited about the season, I’m excited about the players that are going to be fifth-year seniors and have gone through a lot of adversity and tough times.... I think adversity probably reveals your character more

than it builds your character. I think our team has had great characterand that’s in part by our players being able to abide to a philosophy or a plan of how we’re going to build Duke football, and I think that these guys now have Duke football on the verge of really making a strong statement in this conference. Now it’s going to be a tough season, because everybody is very good in this conference. People have made big commitments to their programs.... and we have been catching up, we have been slowly closing the gap. And if we continue along the path of what we’ve started the last couple of years, I think that gap will close more and more significantly. And this is the year that it needs to show some big, big decrease inthe gap.

Franks, football Top Ohio tailback lists Duke over ready to go Maryland, Purdue and Wisconsin

bowling—really

Normally when one talks about the Duke football team “going bowling,” it refers to a recreational activity in which an individual throws a heavy ball down an alley at ten pins. But for the 2003 football season, the normally woefulBlue Devils have a legitimate shot of going to a bowl game.

While this seems like a gutsy call for the season, almost any analysis of this year’s team would produce a similar claim. Last season Duke had a typical 2-10 record, but instead of the usual 30 point blow-outs, all but four of the games were competitive. The Blue Devils lost five games by five points or less, and three of its contests-against Clemson, North Carolina and N.C. State-were lost on the last drive of the game. While some would argue that these close losses are just part of the losing culture head coach Carl Franks has produced, it seems more likely to me that this team had to crawl before it could walk and walk before it could run. And the use of the phrase “this team” in referring to last year’s squad in the above paragraph was strategic. The Blue Devils have almost the exact line up it had last season, losing only two starters, Jamyon Small to graduation and Shawn Johnson to transfer. While both of the lost players started on Duke’s defensive line, which produced statistically the best run defense in the ACC, neither loss is devastating. The players that do return form the best team Duke has had since its 1994 bowl season. The defensive line should be dominant once again with the return of linebacker Ryan Fowler, who has led Duke in tackles for each of his first three seasons and is first among active ACC players in career tackles. Fowler is arguably one of the five best returning linebackers in the country, and has often optimistically compared his Duke career to that of his high school experience. Fowler’s Seminole High School struggled during the star linebackers first three seasons before going 8-2 his senior year with an appearance in the Florida state

playoffs.

“I honestly believe we’ll do the same thing my high school did, and that’s turn it around,” Fowler said last season. In addition to Fowler, defensive tackle Matt Zielinski, the Blue Devils’ strongest weight lifter, should help create one of the rush defenses in the country. The secondary should once again be a team weakness, but comerback Kenneth Stanford and safety Terrell Smith showed improvement as the 2002 season progressed and four of Duke’s 14 signees for the class of 2007 could immediately help the pass defense. Offensively, first-year offensive coordinator Jim Pry should have plenty with which to work. Quarterback Adam Smith is likely improve on his productive first season in the starting lineup-with receivers Reggie Love, Khary Sharpe, Senterrio Landrum and true freshman Deon Adams producing plenty of options for the California native. Andy Roland anchors the tight end position, as he was put on the John Mackey Award’s “watch list” for the best tight end in Division I-A football. The rushing game could be as good as Duke’s running defense, with Alex Wade and Chris Douglas, the third and sixth, respectively, most productive runners in the ACC in 2002, returning. Adding to this two-headed monster is Cedric Dargan, who after red-shirting in 2002 was perhaps the most impressive back during spring practice. Despite haying its best lineup in some time, Duke will by no means jump to the upper echelon of the ACC. Five teams in the expected pre-season top 25 are on Duke’s schedule, all of which the Blue Devils are expected to lose. But against teams like Clemson and Wake Forest, the team with the highest graduation rate in the country will have its greatest chance in the Carl Franks era to collect multiple wins. A year before football powerhouses Miami and Virginia Tech enter the conference, more than ever it is now or never for the Duke football program.

By Mike Corey THE CHRONICLE

Ray Jones, one of the Midwest’s most sought after prep running backs, is strongly considering a scholarship offer from Duke over invitations from perennial top-25 schools like Maryland, Michigan State, Purdue and Wisconsin. “Duke’s academic reputation speaks for itself,” Jones wrote in an e-mail to the Chronicle. “Athletically, I don’t think the football has been as strong as other programs but it is on the rise. With the addition of the new Yoh center and all of the other things being done to strengthen the program, I think it will begin improving in no time. A strong combination ofacademics and athletics is what I’m looking for, that is why Duke is one of my top choices.” Jones said Duke currently trails two other academic and

athletic stalwarts, Boston College and Stanford. A tailback out of The Columbus Academy in Gahanna, Oh., Jones is listed at 6-foot-l, 190 pounds, with a 40-yard dash time of 4.5 and an SAT score of 1210. On the addition of Miami and Virginia Tech to the ACC, Jones said that “the strength of a conference is somewhat important, but ultimately it is about the team’s chemistry.”

ACCEX Expansion concerns overshadowed b

ment secret.

‘This is going to be a very powerful football leaugue,” said Carl Franks, the man at the helm of Duke’s traditionally downtrodden but ever-improving football team. Yes, of course it was all about football—or rather, the multimillion dollar business of football. There is money to be had in television contracts, a secured place in the Bowl Championship Series and the stillelusive conference championship game. In fact, it was the championship game that instigated such a strong push for expansion from several of the ACC schools. Indeed, the ACC will get its conference championship in football at some point, the only question is when. With just 11 schools currently, the ACC has requested that the NCAA permit the conference to hold a title game with less than 12 teams, as the rule currently requires a dozen schools. And even though the ACC has a good chance of being granted permission to have a championship game with its 11 schools, the conference big-wigs already have a back-up plan—finding a twelfth school within the next two or three years. But what ofDuke’s 24 other varsity sports, and the myriad high-quality programs from the rest of the ACC? Certainly, the 51-year old conferencr has the best basketball, baseball, men women’s soccer, men’s and women’s lacr and field hockey in America. “I don’t think it’s a particularly good thing for the rest of [the ACC’s] 25 sports,” Duke athletic director Joe Alieva told me last week. “But for football it was a good decision, and this was a football decision.” TRANGHESE SHOULD RECOGNIZE that the entire six-week debacle that resulted in Miami and Virginia Tech defecting to the ACC was a simple business maneuver more readily than anyone.

He had matured as an athletic director at Providence—a founding father of the Big East in 1979 and was merely maintaing his allegiance to his Big East family when he lured Rutgers, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Temple into his league in 1991. As such, the nascent Big East football conference was an immediate player on the national level. Why, then, has Tranghese been so surprised and revolted over the past six weeks? ACC commissioner John Swofford has said all along that his reasoning for wanting to expand his conference was simply to maintain the validity of the league (translation: to make sure the ACC had a seat at the next BCS realignment in a few years). Swofford’s actions were, in fact, necessitated by the actions that Tranghese began when he created the Big East football conference. Those suences have a reality the Big 12 d SEC), and the Big 10 recently

records kept for all to see and keep. None of these things was true; on each conference call, we more or less started ‘flying blind,’ with a vague agenda and no sense of whether we would reach a decision or not; and notes were never shared so when people had different recollections (which we certainly did) about crucial meetings...people later criticized each other for failing to act in ways that were consonant with what the accuser remembered about the meeting, but not the way the person accused recalled it.” ‘This caused us a lot of trouble at many points, but for whatever reason the ACC office didn’t see fit to organize the meetings more clearly. Instead, more and more of the calls were set up and each continued until people were had to catch planes or make crucial appointments or were exhausted, with no clear outcome. If it had not been for the June 30 date for leaving the Big East without penalty, we’d still probably be having those twice weekly conference calls, except we’d have all gone crazy first!” To make matters worse, during the 18-month research period, Alieva explained that the effect on basketball and divisional alignment were effectively ignored, much to his chagrin. “Basketball sch dul ing was not stud ied that much,” Alieva said. ‘The impact on basketball was not ( talked about that much, and was another one of my big concerns.

Duke and North Carolina, then, were put in the unique situation of being in the minority, as they held all along that several concerns were yet to be addressed by the conference officials. In addition to issues regarding student-athlete welfare, extensive time away from class and travel costs, Alieva said he “was not convinced that financially it was going to be a windfall for [Duke or the ACC].

Lacrosse recruits stick out at international tourney said. “He anticipates things often before his team can realize them. He is just a great athlete.” Talking with Pressler, Bordley anticipates that Lamade will be moved to attack when he arrives on campus to help fill the void left by the departing Cassese. “He might even be more effective behind the cage,” Bordley said. “He is almost a better feeder than scorer.” However, Lamade may struggle to adjust to the physical play in collegiate lacrosse especially with the larger defensemen and the adjustment to the attack position. Three rising Blue Devil sophomores also participated on the champion under-19 team. Matt Zash picked up four points and won half of his face offs for the United States team. Glen Nick and Bret Thompson also made contributions for the host country. Joining Danowski and Lamade on the men’s team next season are Casey Carroll, Fred Krom, Tony McDevitt, Nick O’Hara, Dan Oppedisano, Mike Ward, Matt Wilson and standout goalie Dan Loftus. For the women, Rachel Sanford and Kristen Waagbo headline the incoming women’s lacrosse athletes. “I am thrilled with the quality of student-athletes that will be joining our 2003-04 team,”Kimel said. ‘This group is probably our strongest recruiting class to date.” Sanford, who shows extraordinary commitment, was regarded as one of the top high school players in the country through her career at Greenwich High in Connecticut. “I put pressure on myself to perform at a high level,” Sanford told TeenSpeak. “I know that requires constant effort to stay on top and that is what I want to do.” Joining Sanford on the under-19 women’s team was Mount Hebron, Md. native Waagbo. She led competition with 19 goals and scored the United State’s first three goals and a spectacular nine goal total in the championship game. Also on the under-19 women’s team were Leigh Jester, Michelle Menser and Kim Wathey. Jester dished out five assists in the team’s championship game triumph. Midfielder’s Meghan Ferguson and Meeghan Ford round out the class.

Most notably for the men, All-American Kevil Cassese and for the women, AllAmericans Lauren Gallagher and Kate Kaiser. At the recent Under-19 World Lacrosse Championships, incoming Duke freshman were among the most dominant players in the respective tournaments.

The men’s class is headlined by Farmingdale, NY standout Mathew Danowski —regarded by many as the top recruit in the country. “He is a complete player,” Farmingdale head coach Bob Hartranft told the Chronicle. “Many regarded him as the best high school player in the country, me included. You can’t get more than that.” In the under-19 competition, Danowski was named the tournament’s most valuable player for the victorious United States squad.

Six Blue Devils, past and present, compete in U.S. Women’s Open The U.S. Women’s Open was overwhelmed by a youth movement, particularly that of 13-year old amateur Michelle Wie and eventual champion, 24-year old Hilary Lunke. Wie’s competition among the amateur ranks included two Blue Devils: rising sophomore Liz Janangelo and rising senior Leigh Anne Hardin. Janangelo logged a 12over-par 296 (75-73-73-75), which placed her in a tie with 16-year-old Jane Park for the second-best amateur score of the Open. The top amateur, 11 strokes ahead of Janangelo, was high-schooler Aree Song. Janangelo, a Connecticut denizen, recorded the best score ofany current or former Blue Devil at this year’s Open. Janangelo was closely followed by Duke alumna Candy Hannemann, who finished at 13-over-par despite a blistering 2-under 69 on Friday. Hannemann is just beginning her second year on the tour after graduating in 2002. Also representing Duke on the leaderboard were Beth Bauer of the class of2001, 2002 LPGA Rookie of the Year, and Hardin. Hardin’s 3-under-par 68 on Friday was negated by her abysmal 86 the next day, but consistent play on the tournament’s opening and closing days netted her a solid 19-over par for the tournament. Bauer’s 16-over-par for the Open earned her a share of 43rd place. Former Blue Devil star Jean Bartholomew and current senior Virada Nirapathpongpom failed to make the cut at the Open. Youthful players made the biggest mark at the Open this year, from the adolescent Wie’s turn in the spotlight to the relatively green tour pro whose play on the greens netted her the LPGA’s highest honor. There are many clubs that won’t admit youngsters, but the group of elite players at this year’s U.S. Women’s Open is one club with no such restriction.

Tillis shine for Am women’s basketball teams

Beard,

Seniors Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis earned spots on U.S. junior basketball teams in May, and have just recently begun competition. Beard, a two-time All-America selection, was named a co-captain of the USA Young Women National Team. She led five of her teammates in double-digit scoring with 17 as the Americans downed Brazil in an opening exhibition contest Tuesday held in Boston. “I’ve said it before, but I sort of forgot the feeling of what it’s like [to be in a USA uniform],” Beard said. “I took offlast summer, but now that I’m back it feels good to play with the other players. It’s all a learning experience because you learn from different players, just like you learn from different coaches.” The games in Boston are in preparation for the FIBA World Championship for Young Women, which will take place in Sibenik, Croatia at the end of July. Tillis is a member of the Pan-American Games Team, which began practices July 17 in Boston. They will then travel to Cuba for scrimmaging, along with several other nations before attending the Pan-American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Coach K wins out over Nelson relishes role as Notre Dame for McClure scorer, leader on court By Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

In 1977, Mike Gminski, Duke’s last player from Connecticut, ended his freshman year as ACC Co-Rookie of the Year with a 15 point, 11 rebound average. 2003-04, In McClure, Dave Duke’s newest commitment and first from the Constitution State Gminski, since Dave McClure hopes to have a similar impact. A 6-foot-6 wing forward from Ridgefield, Ct., McClure joined Duke’s recruiting class of 2004 with a verbal commitment to the Blue Devils on June 2. The early commitment surprised many recruiting analysts, who expected McClure’s recruitment to be one of the most hotly contested battles in the country. Pittsburgh, Boston College, North Carolina State, Notre Dame and Duke all recruited McClure, and his decision ultimately came down to the Blue Devils and the Fighting Irish. ‘They were both great schools, and what made it so difficult was that they were both great basketball schools and academic [schools],” McClure said in a telephone interview with the Chronicle. “Many schools told me that the best thing you can hear is yes and the second best thing was no.

Nelson, who is also an excellent student, cited an immediate bond with head coach Mike Krzyzewski and Duke’s total academic and athletic package as one of the major factors in his early commitment. “You get a mixture of both worlds.

Two more for 04: Duke eyes point guard, center 6

Dwight Howard 6-foot-l 0,225 pounds. 18.5 PPG Southwest Atlanta Christian, Atlanta, Ga.

§What

They’re Saying: “Dwight just made up his mind. He said to himself that he wanted to be the best player in America.” Wallace Prather, Howard’s AAU coach, to espn.com.

Howard, a consensus top five recruit and the nation’s No. 1 prospect according to theinsiders.com, is currently interested in nine schools, although he is flirting with the idea of leaving straight for the NBA. Duke and North Carolina are the only two of the nine to have not yet offered a scholarship. Although there has been no indication from Duke, it seems that Howard’s enchantment with NBA riches has deterred the Blue Devils from spending a considerable amount of time trying to lure the 6-foot-l0 star to Durham. Howard’s talent is undeniable, showing great promise on both ends of the floor. He already has an excellent post-game in addition to surprising touch on the outside for a player his size. Currently labeled as some-what skinny, Howard’s already athletic frame seems capable of adding the necessary pounds it takes to be a dominant player in this day and age. Youthprepstar.com reports that Howard has a 3.5 GPA. “I want to get my education,” Howard says. “I also want to improve as a basketball player.” “I don’t have a leader,” Howard told the Sporting News. “I do want to take visits.before I make a decision.” /

Alexander Kaun 6-foot-10,240 pounds. 12.0 PPG Florida Air Academy, Melbourne, Fla. What They’re Saying: “I think that for somebody’s who’s never been through the [college basketball recruiting] process and doesn’tknow anything about it, he’s done a great job and is keeping an open mind. He’s kind of approached it with the |MMn'T mentality that he’s just going to look at every single aspect of every single program and make a decision based on that.” Tom Topping, r

”'

Nike Team Florida AAU coach from theinsiders.com

The native ofSiberia made a name for himselfthis summer for his mm Nike Team Florida AAU team at the 800 Williams even in Virginia and the Kingwood Classic in Texas. Kaun, whose nickname is “Sasha,” strengths are his size, post moves and ability to finish around the basket. In addition to Duke, four sehools—Florida, Michigan State, Michigan, and Kansas are all in the hunt to land the big man. Kaun recendy took Florida State and Georgetown off the list of possible schools he will attend. According to his A.A.U. coach Tom Topping, Kaun has unofficially visited Florida. Kaun is an excellent student, and the academic quality of a school will play a bigger part in his college decision than it will for many of his less cerebral peers. Kaun has only been playing basketball for three years, and is already ranked the No. 5 center in the high school class of 2004 by theinsiders.com. Unlike many centers in high school, Kaun is expected to play the five position at the collegiate level as well. Kaun has been nursing a foot injury throughout much of the summer, but is expected to fully recover. “I want to visit the school first [before committing] so I know more about it. I have to visit the school first before I can say something,” Kaun told theinsiders.com: —

Shaun Livingston. Point Guard, 6-foot-6,175 pounds. 16.3 PPG, 7.2 APG Central High, Peoria, 111. What They’re Saying: “The flair he plays the position with is unique. His size at the point and his passing skills are rare in a prospect. He’s flashy and efficient all rolled into one.” -Dave Telep, Thelnsiders.com It’s easy to tell from his long, thin face and stretching, spidery arms that Livingston is big. But when he turned the comer in one fell stride with ten seconds left in his state championship game this s. March, rose up over a crowd near the basket and hit a game-winning lay-up, it was clear that this super prospect was also big-time. And after unofficially coming out on top of a head-to-head match-up with the 7> nation’s other top point guard, Sebastian Telfair, at the ABCD camp in New Jersey earlier this month—not so much with flash as grace, not so much stats but skills—Livingston solidifiedhis position as the primary target on Duke’s radar screen for the Class of 2004. He is a winner, literally; after leading Peoria to the Illinois Class AA crown, his AAU team won its biggest championship match later in the spring. And in that respect, he would make the perfect successor to Chris Duhon as Mike Rrzyzewski’s new floor general: a heady playmaker, one who actually wants to attend college, despite being ranked as high as No. 2 on several national recruiting boards. The Blue Devils will have to fend off North Carolina, Illinois, where two of his AAU teammates have committed, and another point guard heaven, Arizona, for Livingston’s services. But all indications thus far point to a reprise of this past year, when the Illini and Wildcats focused on two phenoms, Charlie Villanueva and Ndudi Ebi, respectively, who were more focused on the NBA than a big-time NCAA program, only to let them slip away and leave Krzyzewski with the No. 2 recruit in. the nation in Luol Deng. And with Duke’s history of doing things back-to-back, the November early signing period could be big-time for the Blue Devils.

Krzyzewski speaks This month, Mike Corey sat down with Coach Krzyzewski to discuss his program, tenting and social life at Duke Outlook for the season

I think they’ve shown really good attitudes about getting better, bigger, stronger, working on their individual skills. But where they’re going to be is still up for grabs. I just think that they’ll be in better places, in some respects by far, than they were even at the end of the year. We wanted more from some of these kids than they were able to give. I think that they’ll be able to give more next year. I think we have a chance to be much more mature, more consistent and play at a higher level. And we’ll have to see how Luol [Deng] impacts, but I think he’ll impact very, very well. So I’m excited about it, I’m really proud of our guys for last year because without our fans or people knowing it, we kept it at a real high level when we could have gotten nailed.

looking at a team, a business, and there’s something not right, the mistake that’s made is to focus on one thing instead of looking at everything.

And that’s what we tried to talk about in that meeting. We can come up with rules and they should be very limited, it’s almost like the IRS was running Krzyzewskiville, or the NCAA was, it just [had too many rules].... Why should we care if a kid wants to tent out there for three months?.... There’s no magic about the time.

However, what’s happened as a result of Krzyzewskiville taking on its own life is that maybe a kid who was in Kville the year before but doesn’t want to do that again, you know, ‘l’ve done that, been there done that. Well now I can’t get into a game.’ So there’s not the continuity that should be there.

Overflowing with talent, Goestenkors looks ahead Coach Goestenkors spoke with Mike Corey about women's basketball. Title IX and a possible stipend for student athletes.

these players, and that’s something—it’s really the only thing now that they can use

against us because we have the academics and now we have the program as well. That’s something we’re still striving to improve upon, we made great strides last year but we’re hoping for an even greater turnout this year.

On the 2003-04 season

On Having the Toughest Schedule in America

We’re really excited. We feel like we could have and should have the most talent we’ve ever had. We’ll only have, because Caitlin won’t be able to play, we’ll only have 10 players that actually can play, but they’re 10 exceptional players. So we feel really good about the fact that we have a small squad but a very talented squad. And also the way the season ended last year, on a*bitter note, although we had a great season, didn’t accomplish our ultimate goal. That’s really helped us to work hard this summer to get better. I think it’s a good combination to have a small group of highly motivated individuals that didn’t quite reach their goal, so really, really looking forward to next season.

This is the toughest schedule in the history of our program that we’ve put together to try and help us prepare to be our best in March. It’s probably going to be ranked as the toughest schedule in the nation. We’re going to open with Texas, will probably be 2nd or 3rd—l think we’ll be second, they’ll probably be third preseason. And then a week later we play Purdue in the Jimmy V Classic, they’ll probably be ranked anywhere from fifth to seventh, and then Tennessee is coming here and we’re going to Connecticut. Auburn is coming here for a Christmas tournament—they’ll be in the top 25—obviously Connecticut will be No. 1 preseason, Tennessee will be No. 4 or 5. We’re almost playing everyone in the top 5 to prepare us for the ACC and the NCAA tournament. It’s going to be a great exciting year for us. Everybody’s better in the ACC. Virginia’s going to be I think really kind of scary good because they were so young last year and they made a great run toward the second round of the ACCs. Carolina lost two seniors, but they signed some great, great freshmen. N.C. State lost a couple of seniors, but they return a really good shooter and player that had to sit out last

On Increased Fan Support

It’s a really exciting time for us. We increased our attendance so much last year, we averaged almost 5,500 which was up a great deal from last year, and we’re hoping we can really build on that. I always think of that especially during the recruiting season because that is something that is still used against us because we’re going up against Connecticutt and Tennessee, those are our two main rivals right now for all

year because of injury, and I think their chemistry might actually be better this year.... Florida State, they signed a top 5 class and returned four starters, Georgia Tech returns four starters.

On Paying Student-Athletes

I don’t think college athletes should be paid, I think they’re getting a free education and that’s payment enough. However, they’re talking about a fund now that may come through that would allow in certain instances you to help a student-athlete. Right now they have what’s called a Student-Athlete Needy Fund, basically, and that’s if you qualify for a PELL grant, that sometimes you can get some extra money for necessities. The fund that we have now is very limited in what you can give and what it can be used for, but this fund that they’re thinking about right now would enable you to give some student-athletes

things like a trip home at Christmas, or in the instance of some tragedy and you need to get them somewhere, so it would give you a little bit more leeway.

There are just some kids that can’t afford to fly home, and especially at a school like Duke where we have so many studentathletes from far away, they can’t just get in their car and drive home. I’m hoping that that fund really goes through because it could help us a 10t.... Each school, they would divide so that each school gets the same amount of money and then you decide where it goes.

On the Importance

of Title IX

I think title IX has been a godsend for women to be able to participate and I think the sad thing is that, in particular the wrestlers, that’s where a lot of the lawsuits

cleared when I applied to Duke.” The NCAA’s actions against Smith were particularly troubling given the growing number of glaring questions of academic eligibility and potential professional status of other athletes. “I think the rules are clear, but the enforcement of them is not,” said Ashworth, whose 2002 team was upset in the round of 16 by a foreign-laden Virginia Commonwealth squad. “I know a girl who was a pro—I’ve seen her on prize lists—but then I see her playing for another school. It’s frustrating. “You also see some of these really small schools getting a lot of Eastern European players who could really care less what school they’re at and don’t speak much English. Fresno State is in the top 20 every year because they’re foreign-loaded. Same with Virginia Commonwealth. The coaches joke that it’s a team of Olgas.” Duke, though, adamandy claims to hold its international athletes to the same academic standards as others applying to the school. “I pay close attention to English proficiency and academics when I’m looking at a foreigner,” Brooks said. “When I present somebody to the admissions department, I want to have a pretty good idea that they’ll make it here before I put admissions in a position to have to do something unreasonable.” Because Duke does not actively recruit foreign athletes, those who do come are usually highly committed to academics. Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh, a junior who helped Duke win the 2002 women’s golf championship, has been able to balance school work and athletics despite attending high school in her native Switzerland. “I’ve always taken my studies seriously and told Coach Brooks that I was ready to take this challenge,” she said. “At the beginning, the academic part was pretty challenging, but the structure to help students is very good at Duke. Now it just takes me a little more time to read and write papers than native English speakers.” However, stories such as Aazan-Zanganeh’s are often overshadowed by more controversial news items. The USA Today, for example, ran several articles this spring

The negative press, along with increasing public awareness of the growing number ofinternational athletes in the NCAA, is causing some to argue that United States citizens should be the recipients of the scholarships that are funded largely by U.S. taxpayers’ money. The idea of capping the number of foreigners on rosters is gaining some support, but many Duke coaches and athletes believe that such a measure is unnecessary. “I personally would hate to see a cap on foreigners,” said women’s soccer coach Robbie Church, whose only international player is senior Icelandic goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir. “I do understand the other side of the coin, but I look at how much Thora has brought to our team both on and off the field in terms of culture and diversity. It would be a shame to have that limited.” The controversy over the place of international athletes in the NCAA is unlikely to dissipate as the pressure on programs to win remains high. Duke, though, has no plans to alter its current athletic and academic standards for foreigners. “I can see the numbers increasing at other schools, but I don’t think that’s going to happen at Duke because we have high academic standards and because we’re not going out and recruiting those kids on our own,” Alieva said. “I believe that it is the institution’s responsibility to monitor what the institutional mission is. We would never bring in a hired gun for one year. Our mission here is to educate young people. AthletDAVE LEWIS for THE CHRONICLE ics is nice, but our real mission is to educate the kids.” Owoicho Adogwa shields a defender in a home soccer match last year.

first into pro ball. In addition to J.D. Alieva, Larry Broadway—their former classmate—has established himself as one of the better first base prospects in baseball since being chosen in the 3rd round of last June’s draft by the Montreal Expos. He was named the lOth-best prospect in the organization by Baseball America at the beginning of the year, and his hot bat has boosted his stock even further this season. Broadway was named an all-star in the Class-A South Atlantic League after hitting .307 with 15 home runs and 51 RBI for Savannah, and won the league’s home run derby. Since then he’s been called up to high Class-A Brevard County, where’s he’s gone 3-for-21 in his first seven games. In between hitting home runs and pushing his way up the system towards Montreal, or wherever the Expos will be playing in a few years, Broadway has also found the time to dish out some advice to his former teammates and friends. “Larry’s been really helpful in terms'of what I should expect,” Patrick said of his old roommate. “He also helps me with litde stuff about hitting. I’m real happy for the success he’s having, but it’s not a surprise at all.”

Memories

As the former Duke players embark on their pro careers, they’re not getting too nostalgic for their old days tromping around Jack Coombs Field. In their four years in Durham, Patrick, Alieva and

Caradonna compiled a record of 82-144, and finished in the basement of the loaded ACC in all but one year. “We were terrible at Duke, and we didn’t have any fans,” Caradonna said. “It was a long four years. It’s not hard trying to get motivated any longer.” Patrick was a bit more diplomatic, but the point was clear. After a string of seven consecutive winning seasons in the 90’s, things have been bleak for Duke’s baseball team in recent years. Duke’s Athletic Director, Joe Alieva, is in a unique position to oversee the baseball program, having seen his two sons play for the Blue Devils and graduate to pro ball. The elder Alieva ascribes much of the program’s struggles to bad luck in the form of injuries. He also points to Duke’s academic standards, its unwillingness to take junior college players and the strength of the ACC as mitigating factors. “Our coaches work very hard and the program will improve, but baseball at Duke is very difficult given the parameters we work under,” Alieva said.

Moving On

The Blue Devils will have to improve without three of their best players from the past few years. Patrick, Alieva and Caradonna, along with their eleven combined years of starting experience, have moved on to greener pastures. And while they may never see a single big league pitch, they’re still pretty fond of their new jobs. “I’m just happy to get the opportunity to play,” Patrick said. “It’s been a whirlwind few weeks, but it’s nice to finally get in the routine of playing baseball every day.”

He was very quiet and always did his work; he was always the kind of kid that other players could go to.” Recruidng service Rivals.com currendy has McClure ranked as the 55th best player in the class of 2004 and the ninth best small forward. “I think David McClure brings some depth to the Duke roster, a guy who is an academic as well as a basketball player.... I think he’s a guy who you look at and you really start to fall for his game because of the intelligent and efficient way for which he approaches it,” respected recruiting analyst Dave Telep told the Chronicle. “I think Dave McClure is a nice fit [for Duke] because...of how coachable he is; he’s a guy who’s going to be at Duke for four years and contribute to them on the court

Regardless, Williams’ leaving the Medical Center is certainly a good sign that Krzyzewski’s premonition will prove correct, as the Hall of Fame coach stated a few days after the accident that he would be “shocked” if he did not play again. No timetable has been set for Williams’ further rehabilitation, though the process will be reported by the Chicago Bulls at a route

However, they acknowledged that several aspects ofhis game that require improvement. “[He needs to] continue to work on his three point shot,” Telep said. “If he’s to achieve his maximum ability, he’s going to have to make threes all the time to keep defenders off him.” Walsh continued where Telep left off. “He needs to work on his outside shooting passing, finding the open man, ballhandling those are things that he needs to work on and he’ll continue to work on rebounding and defense are his strengths.... Dave’s a really wonderful kid. McClure, though, seems to be more than ready for the challenge. Tm dedicated to do whatever it takes to win...whatever the coach needs me to do I’ll do,” said McClure, who also hinted at a possible leadership role for future Blue Devil teams. “The grade above is kind of slim with Kris [Humphries] pulling out so Coach K says he’ll need a lot of leaders in our

NELSON from page 16 a certain electricity that you feel. It’s a real good experience and a real good feeling. I’m confident in the choice I made,” Nelson told the Vallejo Times-Herald. “I love [Duke’s] program,” Nelson told the Times-Herald in a separate article. “I like the way the players are playing. [Coach Krzyzewski], he’s a competitor, he wants to win. He pushes players to the max, offensively and defensively. He really turns them from 18-year old kids into men,” said Nelson in the February 7th interview. Nelson returned to the Tournament of Champions in May and was third among all scorers with a scoring average of 24 points per game. This July, Nelson again shined at the USA Development Festival in Colorado Springs, Co., which featured many of the nation’s top high school players. He averaged 25.4 points per game at the tournament to lead all participants. His 7.4 rebounds per game average was third on his team, and he also dished out 6.8 assists per contest, an average bettered only by UCLA commitment Jordan Farmar and tied by

much-ballyhooed Brooklyn point guard—and current Duke recruiting target—Sebastian Telfair. Nelson is described as an aggressive player who is well known for his attacking style of play. At 6-foof-3 he is shorter than most shooting guards; however, at 190 pounds he is very solidly built for his size. He is currently ranked as the 20th best player in the class of 2004 by recruiting service Rivals.com and is generally regarded as one of the top players in the country. “I wanted to get my teammates involved this year. I wanted to get my rebounding up and everybody knows I can score” said Nelson about his game and averaging nearly a triple-double in the February 7th interview. Nelson is also a solid defender. Last December, Nelson held 6-foot-9 N.C. State commitment Cedric Simmons to only 16 points. Nelson scored 34 points while coming close to a triple-double with ten rebounds, five assists, and eight steals. “Coach K has never in his life reacted in the way he reacted to DeMarcus,” said DeMarcus’ father Ron Nelson in a May 30 article in the Vallejo Times-Herald. “They said he went home and told his wife he finally found someone he fell in love with on sight.”

body? What means do you have to do that? And in my time at Duke, it’s really been the most important thing, that separates Duke from those—when we’re talking about the top 10 academically—we kind of

had our own culture. I’m not sure if we drank too much, I don’tknow all the stuff, but we usually beat the other schools with student interactoin, and kids had fun from learning with other people.... i’ve always felt that’s the main strength of Duke. I hear, adn look, ew have great academics, the point I tried to make to the people at the reunion, was I asked them a question: How many of you are doing your majors? They laughed! I didn’t expect that. I knew that not many of them were, but they laughed! And I said, so apparently not many. Any of you? And they still laughed. And I said I think you are using your major, because you all majored in pepole, in getting to know people. You had fun, you interacted, and teh things that you’re doing, you uesd your education to develop a thought process of being an educated adult where youc an accumulate knowledge and get knowledge and form a decision, and the thing that separated Duke from other schools and other people wast hat you really knew how to communicate with another person, thta’s what that’s all about it. If it’s not kegs, then it has to be something else. I can tell you that I have seen this campus be so fun, and where kids got to konw everybody becaues they walked from one thing to the other.

Are both of those good? probably not. 10 straight shots is worse, I think. They’re getting a quick high. Are we to think...no matter what rules you put in, the freedom the independence that a youngster has in college, and the environment that they’re placed on has a huge impact on who you are going to become.

Her father was an offensive lineman at Texas Christian University, and she undoubtedly inherited much of her physical gifts from him. Her 6-foot-6 frame will make her one of the tallest players in women’s college basketball and give Duke a true inside presence that it has lacked in recent years. “I just want to do whatever I can to help the team,” Bales said. “My strengths are defense and rebounding, but I want to get better at everything.” Bales and Hunter have begun their college academic careers early, living together and attending Duke’s second summer session. Both are taking two classes, including a required freshman writing course. The two are also currently recovering from injuries—Bales tore her meniscus

GOESTENKORS from page 19 are coming from, they’re trying to pit men against women, and that’s not the issue. It’s football that is skewing everything, so I guess I just feel like people are looking at it the wrong way. It’s football that needs to be contained just a little bit. There are 11 people on the field at a time. There are 11 people on the soccer field at a time and on a lacrosse field at a time. But yet they get 80 scholarships and these other sports get like 5.

Brittany Hunter and Hunter is waiting for heel spurs to mend—so their on-court activities have been limited this summer. However, both should be ready to contribute at full strength this season. “The ultimate goal is to win a championship next year,” Hunter said. “With what Ali and I bring to the team, I don’t see why not. When I watched Duke lose to Tennessee last year, I kept thinking that there were things we could have done to help them win. There’s no reason for us not to go all the way next year.” a hotel on a home game. I remember reading where Florida last year for the preseason, when no one else is on campus instead of staying in the dorms.... they took them to the nicest hotel and had them stay there for three weeks at a cost of like 40,000 dollars when they could have stayed on campus for free. That’s somebody’s salary. I think we can trim the fat, I don’t have anything against football and I love Carl Franks, and you certainly don’t want to get him upset, but at the same time there’s a lot offat in football I think.People always say that’s the moneymaker, when you go down and you look at it in black and white, it’s the moneymaker only in a few schools.
