searchers at Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill highlighted a high risk of sexually transmitted diseases for young females and revealed a spike in HIV among male college students in the Triangle area, respectively. The Duke study, conducted by Dr. Kimberly Yarnall, associate professor of family medicine, focused on groups of young women from both the Durham and Seattle areas and reported few significant differences between the college student and non-student populations polled. Yarnall did note, however, that black college students from the Durham area were more likely to use condoms than any other group polled. ‘The biggest finding was that 78 percent of the women didn’t think they were at risk [for an STD],” Yarnall said. The study reported that nonstudents had slightly more risky behavior than students even though researchers had expected the opposite results.

Bigelow thinks big for Union by

Aaron Levine

THE CHRONICLE

Duke University Union President Jonathan “Deuce” Bigelow is perhaps above all else a great movie fan. Not a good movie fan, a great one. It is a bit ironic, therefore, that his nickname comes from one of the worst flicks in recent memory—Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo—and it is a mixture of this love of fine films and weakness for an occasional irreverent flair that he hopes to use to guide his Union presidency this year. “Once the movie started getting publicity, myfriends immedi-

Student Leaders To Watch A five-day series this week continuing today with Jonathon Bigelow,president ofDuke University Union ately said ‘Deuce’,” Bigelow said The Lumberton, N.C., native’s main goal for the primary programming body on campus is to ensure that the Union remains a “well-oiled” machine. However, with a budget of more than $500,000 delegated to its 11 committees, the Union needs more than just the occa-

sional sprite of WD-40. The allotted funds are provided by Duke students themselves via the student activities fee, which increased substantially this semester thanks to a student vote last year. Bigelow credits the vote to student confidence in the Union’s ability to develop activities on campus. “The fact that the SAF passed by such a large margin indicates that we must be doing something right,” Bigelow said.

Two powerful BOMBAY India bombs concealed in parked taxis Monday in the heart of Bombay, India’s commercial capital, killed 45 people and wounded at least 135. The blasts occurred just minutes apart, the first in a packed shopping district, the second next to the city’s favorite gathering place, the Gateway of India, a colonial relic whose massive arch has become an indelible image of this metropolis. No one had taken responsibility for the blasts as of late afternoon, and it was unclear how the bombs were deto-

nated. Suburban Bombay, whose official name is now Mumbai, has been the site of'five other explosions —two on buses, two at markets and one in a train—in the last eight months that have killed a total of 15 people. The most recent was in July. Officials have blamed the Students Islamic Movement of India for the attacks, saying that the group was operating in conjunction with the Pakistan-based Islamic militant group Lashkar-e-Tayyaba. Both groups are banned in India. The Bombay police commissioner, R.S. Sharma, said Monday night that law enforcement authorities suspected

WASHINGTON After a high-profile pitch at the United Nations for more countries to send troops to Iraq, the White House is encountering resistance and may not seek a Security Council resolution after all, U.S. officials said Monday. “We have not yet made a determination,” Deputy Secretary ofState Richard Armitage told reporters, alluding to the possibility of a new resolution. Other officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, noted the strong stand that some U.N. members had taken against the U.S. decision to go to war with Iraq in March without the council’s blessing.

that so-called jihadi groups were also

responsible for Monday’s blasts, although he offered no specific evidence for that assertion. The blasts come during a period of an easing of hostility between India and Pakistan, which has enabled them to take small steps toward rapprochement in recent months. For now, at least the blasts seem to have done nothing to undermine that. Indian officials, who have often blamed Pakistan in the past for terrorist attacks in India, 3id not do so after Monday’s incidents. Furthermore, Pakistan condemned the blasts as “acts of terrorism.”

Asked about the status ofany new resolution, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Negroponte, said, “We’re nowhere near a text on Iraq.” Secretary of State Colin Powell interrupted his vacation last Thursday to travel to New York to make the case for a new council resolution. Powell had hoped that outrage over the devastating bombing of the U.N. compound in Iraq two days earlier would make the council more amenable to a resolution explicitly welcoming a broadening of the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. But the administration has been sending contradictory signals about whether a larger force is needed in Iraq.

Ibrahim urges Mideast democracy Graduate students take ethics training by

Whitney Robinson THE CHRONICLE

The political science department has a very personal Egyptian connection. Students at a lecture on democracy in the Middle East given by political activist and human rights champion Saad Eddin Ibrahim were treated to a fairy tale of sorts as Ibrahim described the labrynthine familial connections that tie him to Michael Munger, chair of Duke’s political science

department.

GillianBarnard

THE CHRONICLE

The story of the two—who are brothersin-law—lightened the mood of an otherwise serious discussion in a packed White Lecture Hall regarding the feasibility and necessity for the Arab world to adopt democratic policies and institutions. ‘When I talk about democracy in the Middle East,” he said, “I talk of hope.” He said that democracy was the only way to effectively usher peace into the Middle East, adding that democracy was not simply a goal but a means to bring about sustainable human development in the region. Ibrahim, a professor at the American University in Cairo and self-proclaimed “true believer” in democracy, has authored over 10 books and hundreds of articles on the subject; has received countless accolades and awards; and holds positions in such organizations as the World Bank. Perhaps more publicized, however, was his arrest in the summer of2000, along with 27 others, all of whom were charged with illegally accepting money from the European Union to make a film about Egyptian election irregularities and fraudulently disseminating information. After he was sentenced to seven years in prison, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the U.S. Congress all worked to get him acquitted in 2001. Invoking Kantian political theory more specifically, the idea that democracies do not go to war with each other— Ibrahim reiterated that democracy was the only way to resolve the conflicts that have plagued the Mideast for so long. Ibrahim added that while the Middle East has 350 million people, or roughly 10 —

He further noted that in the same period of time, the U.S. has become involved in an armed conflict approximately once every seven years, mostly in the Middle East: in Sudan, Libya, Iran, Lebanon, and most recently, Iraq. Democratic regimes could quell these outbreaks of violence, he said. He referred to his theory of democracy leading to peace and eventually development as the “Golden Triangle,” also offering converse examples of how despots, tyrants and dictators instill fear in their populations, detracting both in-

digenous and foreign capital from the region and leading to underdevelopment and poverty. “Your part,” he said, “is to say no.” Ibrahim urged students to try to change the future in the Middle East not as soldiers but as workers for human rights and democracy. “I ask.you to give us a hand in moving and transforming the region into democracy, sparing 350 million the agony of fighting, and sparing America and the world the specter of armed conflict,” he said. Paraphrasing Winston Churchill’s famous words, he closed with a maxim: “Democracy may not be the best system,

Professional ethics for graduate students frequently remains a focus unique to science and medicine, but beginning this year, all incoming doctoral students at Duke are required to undergo Responsible Conduct of Research Training. The program seeks to broaden the narrow definition of ethics in research and includes a variety of faculty-led forums over three years. The training will also require the cohesion of the ethics faculty and the organization of a variety of department-appropriate case studies. Leigh DeNeef, associate dean of the Graduate School, and Douglas James, administrative coordinator, created the RCR program. Both stressed that the seminars are not intended as tedious lessons on the avoidance of misconduct, but as an addressing of the positive obligations graduate students have regarding research. DeNeef said RCR training emerged in the early 1990s in response to National Institutes of Health funding in the biological sciences, as NIH funding requires that the recipients undergo certain ethical preparation. “Since the Graduate School did not know which of the biological science students would end up working for certain faculty members, the best way to handle it was to simply require this training for all students in departments who had any NIH funding,” DeNeef said. At the time RCR training was in development for the biological sciences, the Graduate School’s executive committee began entertaining the idea of requiring SEE ETHICS TRAINING ON PAGE 13

CIGNA contract in jeopardy at PDC by

for THE CHRONICLE

Class of 2006 President Jesse Longoria hands out flip-flops to his fellow sophomores at the class' picnic.

The Private Diagnostic Clinic at the Medical Center announced Friday it will no longer accept CIGNA Healthcare as of Jan. 1, 2005. The decision to terminate the agreement when the contract expires may leave 640,000 North Carolinians without access to PDC physicians if a new agreement is not reached in time. PDC officials cited rising health care costs without a corresponding rise in CIGNA’s contribution as the reason for discontinuing their official relationship with the company. “Under the terms of the current agreement, payments to the PDC have remained substantially below the cost of providing services needed by CIGNA members and well below reimbursement levels from similar insurers,” said Paul Newman, PDC’s executive director. “PDC has not received a rate increase in several years.” He added that CIGNA’s current payment levels are “markedly lower” than other carriers. CIGNA and PDC, which acts primarily to match doctors and patients, have been involved in 18 months of negotiations over reimbursement that continued even until last week. “This development was unexpected from our point of view because we had been reviewing our proposals, negotiating in good faith with the goal of maintaining the group’s uninterrupted participation,” said David Feng, a spokesperson for CIGNA. If the termination takes effect, CIGNA HMO patients will receive no reimbursement for care at any PDC clinics. Other branches of CIGNA will still have access to Duke PDC physicians but will have

higher out-of-pocket expenses. More than 800 PDC physicians practice out of Duke Hospital and more than four

dozen clinics

throughout Duke and North Carolina. However, the change will not

affect CIGNA’s contracts with DUMC hospitals, which will still accept CIGNA as before. It will, however, impact the insurer’s business indirectly, Newman said. “It’s PDC physicians for the most part who are putting patients into Duke Hospital,” he said. “Even though they have a contract with those other hospitals it’s difficult to maintain those contracts when no patients are coming through.” PDC officials said they are concerned primarily for the patients affected by this change. “The Private Diagnostic Clinic is announcing this contract termination at this time—16 months before termination—to ensure that patients served by the PDC will have ample time to select other health plans that will give them continued access to their Duke physicians,” said Dr. Theodore Pappas, executive medical director of PDC. Some at CIGNA have speculated the announcement is meant as a negotiation tactic and the termination will not ultimately take effect. Feng said CIGNA hopes to reopen negotiations with the PDC this week and underscored the tentative nature of the announcement. “At this time there is absolutely no disruption of coverage through the Duke Private Diagnostic Clinic,” he said. “We hope to overcome this development.” Newman said the PDC was open to continued discussion. “Things could happen between now and then,” he said, “but it really is up to CIGNA.” ,

The UNC study, spearheaded by Dr. Peter Leone, associate professor of medicine, found a disproportionate 25 male college students infected with HIV, 88 percent of whom were gay black men in the Triangle, and also noted that a network of this group was most likely spreading the disease. None of the 25 students identified attend Duke. Leone also examined statistics from other parts of the state, which revealed that 56 college students statewide are currently known to be infected. In June 2000, there were only four reported cases, and about 40 percent of the students have been infected since then. Leone was unsure if behavioral differences were the cause of the spike. “Given that we’ve had some real success in terms of

WEL ROOMS from page 1 The new rooms, if successful, will dramatically change the landscape of student activities on West Campus. “When you have Rick’s downstairs and the coffeehouse upstairs, this is really a gathering spot,” Vitarelli said. “The Bryan Center is really out of the way of the residential area on campus, [and] the rec rooms at the BC are too small and not prominendy located.” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said he was unworried about a popular McClendon Tower detracting from the upcoming West Campus student village, which is now in planning stages and is still several years from completion. ‘With 12,000 students at Duke we need all the space we can get for student recreation,” Moneta wrote in an e-mail. “The WEL facilities will supplement the village.” Hull said the McClendon Tower facilities are intended to serve as a satellite to a “typical student union,” referring to the collection of eateries, offices and social space in and around the Bryan Center. The fifth floor of the tower is currently vacant, with Hull designating it as group meeting space for the foreseeable future. He said Campus Council sought to turn the area into a “cabaret-like space,” but that other places could meet that need. Vitarelli denied this and said Campus Council was sticking to last year’s resolution recommending a sports bar on the fifth floor. He said he deplores how the space is currently being used, saying that its panoramic views and central location make it prime real estate for student activities. “I think it’s a shame,” he said. “It is just inadequately used right now... because the space has so much potential and is, in my opinion, the most underused space on campus right now. There are so many meeting rooms on campus; the fifth floor of the WEL tower should not serve that purpose.”

medication [for HIV], maybe we’ve had a sense of complacency [among students],” Leone said. “I don’t think that most college students see themselves at risk for HIV or STDs.” Despite the possibility of complacency, Dr. William Christmas, Director of Student Health Services, said there seemed to be a strong feeling among Duke students to want to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases although the number of students requesting testing has decreased over the past three years. Three hundred and seventy tests were administered in 2000-01, 315 in 2001-02 and 289 in 2002-03. “That’s good in some ways, but disturbing in other ways.... It’s good that they want to get tested, but it also suggests that [students] may not be protecting themselves,” he said. Christmas added that he was unsure why fewer students are getting tested and said he does not believe that the results of tests being registered in the student’s

medical record is a factor. Leone disagreed. “My perception is that people don’t want to come in [because] a lot of students don’t like having that information in their medical record,” he said. Christmas said that, while the major HIV epidemic that was expected on college campuses soon after HIV surfaced never materialized, students have been lulled into a false sense of security. Although they may come to Duke informed about the causes and modes of transmission of HIV, Christmas said, students’ behaviors seem to contradict their purported knowledge. While rates of chlamydia infection had been decreasing nationally, they have since increased over the past year, suggesting an unwelcome trend, Christmas said. “I’m afraid we’re looking at the tip of the iceberg,” Leone added. ‘The cases we’re looking at are the ones who voluntarily come in.”

BIGELOW names

from page 1

as Ludacris and Ben Stein

Bigelow, a classical civilizations major, is a member of the Round Table selective house. Although not currently a member, he has also been involved in the Chapel choir. The perfect catch phrase might therefore be hard to pin down. Deuce Bigelow: Sings Figaro? Perhaps Deuce Bigelow: Quotes Cicero? Maybe an unoriginal Deuce Bigelow: Union Gigolo? The catch phrases may be endless, but both administrators and students have similarly positive things to say about Bigelow, and the job he is doing as president of the Union. Duke Student Government president Matt Slovik described Bigelow as “easy to work with” and “personable.” “He has a lot of great ideas, and he is dedicated to the Union and the University,” Slovik added. Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek echoed Slovik’s sentiments,

further focusing on Bigelow’s hard-nosed leadership skills. “The thing that impresses me the most is that he is smart, insightful and he brings with him a healthy level of skepticism to every meeting,” she said. Bigelow said he is dubious of the status quo, dissatisfied with such things as the student events calendar currendy offered on the Duke website. He feels the calendar does not accurately represent the extent of student activities happening each day. He envisions a Union that is more assertive in promoting group activides through an expanded calendar. His insight also extends to the state of student involvement in the arts on campus. ‘The general consensus [among students] is that there is a void in the arts at Duke,” Bigelow said. He said he feels that there are plenty of activities to engage in, but cites the lack of publicity and incomplete events calender as contributing to the discrepancy. “Ideally, it should be the burden of the student to be bored, ”he said.

tween Duke police and University administration. In fact, although many saw the University’s deal with the city as a

creased police presence off campus, whether it be from Duke or Durham, many said DUPD’s extended jurisdiction could be a double-edged sword. “Assuming that they really do just want to free up Durham police to work on more serious crime areas and increase safety around East, then I don’t think it’s a bad idea,” said junior Kari Zander, who is staying in the Erwin Square Apartments until she leaves to study abroad. “But Duke police definitely have the University behind them, and I don’t think anyone will be surprised if they frequently break up off-campus frat parties. Duke could get its own police to try to kill fraternity life on and off campus in away that Durham police wouldn’t be so concerned with.” The University has not yet fleshed out a final agreement with the city, but John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said in July that Duke police would be able to respond as if they were local police officers. Whether this translates into doom for off-campus fraternity parties—at a time when Duke’s social scene seems to be moving farther and farther from the center of campus—remains to be seen. Zander said she noticed over the weekend that Durham officers were very lenient, even when faced with some students’ blatant disregard for the law. She described a scene from a weekend party at which people spilled out the door of an off-campiis house and into the yard. “The police showed up but didn’treally do anything as far as I could see,” she said. “They were talking to two. kids who probably got in trouble for something, but were kind of ignoring everyone else drinking right in front of them.” Zander also noted, however, that Duke police seem to be just as lenient around West Campus on the weekends, patrolling ‘just in case something happened and not trying to break up the party.” Senior Greg Millwater, who is living with other members of Delta Phi Alpha—formerly Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity—on Watts Street, agreed that Duke police tend to be lenient on West Campus. “They tend to look the other way, as long as you’re safe,” he said. “But maybe they won’t do the same when you’re off campus and outside Duke’s walls.” Some students thought it necessary to distinguish be-

NEW YORK

Now five months since

being named head basketball coach

Photo Credits Elton Brand receives praise from a teammate during his sophomore campaign (Chronicle File Photo); Roy Williams watches over his Jayhawks in last season's win over Duke in the NCAAs (Jane Hetherington for The Chronicle).

North Carolina, Roy Williams’ list of priorities is topped with the responsibilities of unpacking a seemingly endless number of boxes and getting to know the on and off the court tendencies ofhis new team. “The transition has been all consuming,” Williams told The Chronicle. “There is not a moment in the day where you are not thinking about it.” While cardboard boxes and moving into a new home have been chores, Williams’ most challenging task has been getting to know his new players. Due to NCAA regulations that govern practice time, Williams has only been able to work his new team out twice since his arrival in Chapel Hill. “Getting to the kids has been the most difficult thing because right after we got there school was over with,” Williams said. “Most difficult has been getting a feel for the kids we have.” Once the season begins in November, Williams predicts that motivating his group of talented players, especially in practice, will be his staunchest challenge. ‘The hardest thing will be to understand how hard we have to work,” Williams said. “We do have some gifted kids, but we’ve got to explain to them and show them and get them to understand how hungry they have to be.” Nick Collison, who Williams coached for the past four seasons at Kansas, does not have any doubts about his former coach’s ability to inspire his new team. “He will get them to play very hard and be motivated,” Collison told The Chronicle. ‘You can be sure of that.” Before departing for the head coaching post at Kansas in 1988, Williams served as an assistant coach under the legendary

Dean Smith. In his 15 seasons coaching the Jayhawks, he led his team to four Final Fours. Most recendy, with rumors about a return to North Carolina swirling, Kansas was defeated by Syracuse in the 2003 national title game. While enjoying his 15 years in Lawrence, Ka., establishing himself as one of the top head coaches of the era, Williams relishes the opportunity to return to his roots in the ACC and once again taking part in some college basketball’s most vibrant rivalries. “I’m looking forward to getting back to the ACC. The Big 12 is a great league, but again, this is home. As a kid I grew up loving ACC basketball so that part of it is going to be a thrill and a big-time

challenge.” Almost immediately after Williams de-

cided to return to his alma mater, the ACC became entangled iii a complex expansion process that ultimately added Miami and Virginia Tech to a 50 yeac-old conference. While slightly baffled by the process and decision, Williams remains unfazed. “It is sort of mindboggling. It is sort of silly the way it has been handled. For us as basketball coaches we understand it was made for football dollars. I’m Just going to coach and whoever is on the other side we will play.” Further occupying the Asheville, N.C. native has been the need to recruit four players to join the team in 2004. North Carolina has just one incoming freshman this winter, Justin Bohlander, and the possible departure of several current players to the NBA make a strong recruiting class a priority. To date, Williams has commitments from two players and remains optimistic about finding top-notch talent to fill out his roster for the 2004-2005 season. North Carolina native JamesOn Curry and power forward Marvin Williams have already

committed to the program according to Rivals.com. Williams is also reportedly strongly pursuing Shaun Livingston, who is considered one of the top players in the nation and is also being heavily recruited by the Blue Devils. However, Livingston is reportedly more interested in Duke and Arizona, although North Carolinaremains on his list. Despite still needing two additional players for next year’s team, Williams is already recruiting for the 2005-2006 season. High school junior Greg Paulus is strongly considering attending North Carolina as well as Duke and Notre Dame. The 6-foot-l New York native is likely to make his decision within the next several weeks. The battles between Williams and Krzyzewski over Paulus and Livingston are just the start of what should be a litany of such off-the-court recruiting contests in the coming years—not to mention the ones that will occur in Cameron Indoor and the Dean Dome. Taking his first break from the rigors of getting settled in his new role, Williams is an assistant coach under former North Carolina assistant and current Detroit Pistons coach Larry Brown on the USA Basketball team. The squad includes Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter and former Duke standout Elton Brand, and is currendy competing in Puerto Rico to qualify for next summer’s Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Williams, who is enjoying the opportunity to coach some of the game’s premier players, has taken an active role during practice, helping the players learn the system and plays that closely resemble the North Carolina style of offense. ‘This is a great thrill for me,” Williams said. This has been a dream for me for a long long time to be involved in an Olympic team, so I am thrilled as I can be.”

Field hockey falls 2-1 to defending champs in exhibition matchup

For most Duke students, the week before*classes is a time relax, a chance to see old faces, a work-free break between a summer job and a semester full of schoolwork. The biggest obstacle of the day might be finding a parking space in the Blue Zone or perhaps deciding whether to loft or to bunk. For the Duke field hockey team, on the other hand, this week was anything but challenge-free. After reporting to campus for preseason almost a month before most of their classmates, the Blue Devils faced an even bigger challenge last Friday af ternoon—the field hockey team was wrangling with Wake Forest, the defending national champions. In the end, the Demon Deacons, who bounced the Blue Devils out of both the ACC and NCAA tournaments in 2002, outlasted the host team and snagged a 2-1 victory in an exhibition game at Williams Field on East Campus. Junior back Gracie Sorbello, who scored Duke’s only goal, said the game was a good gauge of where the team to

stands after adjusting to its new coach, Beth Bozman. “The game was a good learning experience,” Sorbello said. “All we worked on in preseason [was] put to the test, and now we know what we need to work on for the season.” Friday’s preseason contest was just the first match between Duke and Wake Forest this season. The Blue Devils and Demon Deacons, who faced each other three times last year, have two regular season dates on the schedule in 2003 and could play again in either the ACC or NCAA tournament at the end of the season. Still, there was no bad blood on the field Friday. “It’s a healthy rivalry,” Sorbello said. “We challenge each other. We get a lot ofmotivation when we play them. We know we can beat them if we put it together.”

Kramer, men’s soccer downs No. 10

Connecticut 2-1

In its second of two preseason games, the men’s soccer team held on to a 2-1 first half lead and outlasted the Connecticut Huskies on Saturday night. From the opening whisde, the Blue Devils utilized their midfield to attack the No. 10 team in the country. While pushing the ball outside and moving into Husky territory, Duke forced five first half corner kicks. In the 19th minute of the first half, Danny Kramer lined up from the right corner and sent a ball spiraling into the penalty area. Defender Joe Kelly crowded into the box and deflected Kramer’s corner kick which landed in front of senior Danny Wymer. After playing in just six games last year, Wymer took the first opportunity he got this season and netted the ball past UConn goalkeeper Steven Behonick for a 1-0 Blue Devil lead. The Huskies wasted no time in retaliating as forward Cesar Cuellar moved into the penalty box and was awarded a penalty shot after two Blue Devils took him down. He capitalized in the 29th minute on the penalty shot and knotted the score at 1-1. Play continued to move back and forth between teams, but Connecticut could not reach goal with any of its shot attempts. Kramer, a sophomore, was in an offensive mode on Saturday, as he found himself in the midst of UConn’s defense again with seven minutes remaining in the first half. This time, Behonick lost his footing and Kramer took advantage as he shot the ball wide of the goalkeeper’s reach,

and the Blue Devils took a 2-1 lead into the locker room The Huskies regrouped at halftime and came out firing from the start. Unloading four shots on goal and forcing four corner kicks in the first 10 minutes of the second half, it was apparent UConn had the upper hand. Trowbridge managed to make all the necessary saves and the Blue Devil defense, anchored by senior Matt Ahumada, kept the Huskies outside of their danger zone. Connecticut’s best scoring chance came 17 minutes into the half as Cuellar ripped a ball from 30 yards away and grazed the top ofDuke’s net. After Cuellar’s blast, the Blue Devil defense collapsed and did not allow any solid scoring opportunities for the rest of the game. Duke controlled the first half with five shots to one and UConn reversed the trend in the second half as they ended up outshooting the Blue Devils 11-9 for the match. During the physical match, 31 fouls were called and two yellow cards were dealt out to Kramer and Behonick.

Women’s soccer outlasts Old Dominion in final warmup before season begins Dashing across the field with nothing but opportunity in front of her, Casey McCluskey picked up right where she left off last year. Picking up the ball and cutting toward the goal, she made a dashing lead-in to a season made for her star to shine.

McCluskey, coming off a sophomore campaign that saw her rack up four game-winning goals and earn first team allACC honors, streaked, flipped and put the women’s soccer team ahead for good with 5:03 remaining in the Blue Devils’ final pre-season game of the year. Saturday’s 3-2 comefrom-behind win over lowly Old Dominion—the Lady Monarchs were 5-12-1 in 2002—sets the stage for Duke’s season opener Friday against the Campbell Fighting Camels. ODU’s Becca McClain, without an official goal yet in her career, closed the first half with a goal and opened up the second period with another strike. The Blue Devil comeback picked up soon thereafter, with sophomore Shelly Marshall—normally more of a passer than a scorer—popped in Duke’s first score of the game. Lauren Tippets, one of eight freshmen in a class ranked eighth nationally by Soccerbuzz.com, tied the game at 2-2 with 20 minutes remaining. From there, McCluskey just did what she does best: win the game.

Sampras to Bulls Notebook Josh make retirement official at Open Compiled by

Silverstein

WEEK IN REVIEW

Christopher Clarey

THE NEWYORKTIMES NEWS SERVICE

He was never interested in a farewell tour, but Pete Sampras has agreed to a farewell ceremony, and when he walks just a touch self-consciously on court at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday during the first night session of this year’s U.S. Open, he will complete the near-perfect circle of his career in the most appropriate place. Pristine, restrained Wimbledon, which he won seven times, was the tournament that defined him, but the polychromatic and cacophonous U.S. Open was the event where he took his first and last star turns. Sampras won his first GrandSlam singles tide here in *1990 at the age of 19, sweeping aside the best of the old guard (Ivan Lendl and John McEnroe) and the best of the new wave (Andre Agassi). Twelve years later, as a married man about to become a father, he won his 14th and last Grand Slam tide by beating Agassi in the final. He has not played another match since, and after considerable soul-searching and a lot more golf practice than tennis practice, he has finally decided to make his retirement official. “It was a rush, no doubt about it: waiting with Andre in the tunnel before a final in a major and then going out with the crowd going nuts,” Sampras said in a recent interview. “I’ll always miss those moments, but reality sets in and there comes a time when you let go ofall that. You’ve done your thing.” For Sampras, the biggest source of pride in his career was his consistency. He is the only player in the 30-year-history of the computer ranking to finish No. 1 for six consecutive years. In all, he held the top spot for a record 286 weeks, earned a record $43,280,489 in prize money and won two more Grand Slam singles tides than any man in history. Sampras considers those 14 major titles the highlight of his career. He puts his six straight years at No. 1 in second place. “That definitely takes its toll,” he said. “And being able to handle that—the pressure on and off the court is just a reflection of my personality. I don’t get too down when I lose or too high when I win. It’s funny. I was talking to somebody and they told me that Barry Sanders’ dad used to tell Barry when he was young: ‘You run into the end zone and pretend like you’ve been here before and will do it again.” —

Durham Bulls closer Lee Gardner broke the team’s single-season record for saves in Durham’s 4-3 victory over the Norfolk Tides Friday, as the right hander shut the door on the opposition for the time this year. In addition to individual stones, last week’s action featured games fu playoff implications for the Bulls, who found themselves wrapped up with th Charlotte Knights in a two team race for the South division title. After going 5-4 in last week’s play, the Bulls are two games ahead of their intrastate rivals with just nine games remaining in the season going into Monday’s action Durham split with the Knights in a crucial two game series

that took place last Monday and Tuesday. After dropping a 3-2 nailbiter on Monday, the Bulls rebounded in dramatic fashion Tuesday, as Durham catcher Hector Ortiz delivered a two-run single in the top of the 10th inning to propel the Bulls to a 7-5 victory. The Bulls headed down to Norfolk to take on the Tides after their bout with Charlotte. There they managed to take two out of four, holding their division lead at two games. Saturday, the Richmond Braves doubled up the Bulls 8-4. Fortunately for hirham, Charlotte fell to Norfolk 3-2 Saturday, allowing the Bulls to further retain their slim two game lead.

THE WEEK AHEAD

In a series that could either lock things up or break things down for the defending International League champions, the Bulls I face off against Charlotte for three games in Durham Monday through Wednesday. Each game begins at 7 p.m. at the Durham Bulls Ballpark.

BCS CHAMPS IN 2006! We pulled a Homer. It took some time, patience and considerable luck to arrive at the 2006 national championship, but the odyssey was well worth the wait. “We” is inclusive of the Duke football team and me—or rather, the program that I ran as its Zeus. I handled recruiting, scouting, quarterbacks, tailbacks, redshirting, scheduling, building up immunity to injury, severing and extending contracts, etc. The impossible mission which I chose to accept was that of building up a football empire in the shadow of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Our victory came, of course, in NCAA Football 2004, a video game that has allowed me to hear the echo of victory bells, and consequentially, the pangs of athletic success as well. My increasing success on the field paralleled my growing fascination with the game. I found myself entrenched, consumed by my football program’s development. But I became so pathetic that I opted for winning in a fictitious video game over my friends, over reading, and even doing my own hour-long workouts—something I’d never let my players get away with in the unending pursuit of getting bigger, faster and stronger. So to rectify the situation and return to normalcy, I quit cold turkey. In fact, my NCAA Football withdrawal has been tempered by my responsibilities for the paper (so maybe the football wasn’t so bad after a11...)

Right now, Carl Franks and his Blue Devils are basking in an optimism that is so thick it’s suffocating; an optimism that has illuminated the program in the regional media thus far in 2003. And though a new attitude cannot win games, it has certainly rejuvenated an entire program. “When was the last time you saw a Duke football player walk around with confidence?” senior defensive tackle Matt Zielinski recendy told the Fayetteville Observer. “It’s there. It’s easy to say, but we see it in our workouts and practices. The confidence and discipline is there.” SEE OPTIMISM

THE CHRONICLE business-as-usual tone at

his weekIn a ly press conference, head football coach Carl Franks expressed his desire to end the unknowns of the preseason by starting what looks to be Duke’s most successful year since its 1994 Hall of Fame Bowl season. “I don’t know what the strengths and weaknesses [of Virginia] are going to be,” he said. “Especially because its the first game. I have no clue. We play against ourselves, and I don’t get to watch them play. I don’t even know the strengths and weaknesses of our team. You don’t really have a good handle on where you are until you play. I really have no clue what their strengths and weaknesses are right now.” Despite being naturally unsure about the still virgin season, Franks was optimistic about his team’s progression. The team’s captains—Alex Wade, Drew Strojny, Ryan Fowler, Terrell Smith and Matt Zielinski—have especially asserted themselves, while other starters have also provided good direction for the teams younger players. “You start with our captains,” Franks said about leadership. ‘The other guys that are YOAV LURIE for THE CHRONICLE

Martinez, Boston sock Mariners by

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE to the right, Randy

Stay Johnson. Pedro Martinez just zipped by you in the passing lane. Sure, the Red Sox ace was low on fuel Monday as he emerged from the pit of a debilitating throat ailment to pitch for the first time in nine days. But what he lacked in octane, Martinez made up for with his trademark grit and guile as he ran over the limping Mariners like so much roadkill, leading the Sox to an 8-1 victory before a sun-kissed 33,007 at Fenway Park. Martinez improved to a remarkable 12-0 against the Big Unit’sformer team, eclipsing Johnson among active pitchers for the most wins against a single opponent without a loss (Johnson is 11-0 against the Cubs). Martinez also helped the Sox sweep a four-game series from the Mariners for the first time since 1991 as Grady Little’s crew won a fifth straight game for the first time since July 23. Not bad, considering Martinez lay in a hospital four days earlier receiving intravenous fluids for dehydration while running a 101-degree fever.

leaders are Rusty Wilson, Adam Smith... Chris Douglas. On defense, Kenny Stanford.... Those would be the first few I would name. We’ve got a lot of good leadership out of our fourth and fifth-year seniors. A lot more so than we’ve had in the past. “Leadership is a funny thing. As a coach you have to develop that in your players. I talk to them about leadership qualities, and we’re trying to do that now with our younger guys.” With the new leadership, Franks said the team responded positively to drills addressing last season’s weaknesses. In 2002, Duke lost five games by five points or less largely because of its inability to score touchdowns in the red zone. Franks said that after repeating red zone drills continuously, his team is beginning to respond.

“We discovered that there were certain areas not executing the assignment that was needed,” Franks said. “It’s going to require that everybody understand that things happen much quicker when you shrink the field. Mistakes get magnified, and you’re just not allowed to make mistakes down there. Everybody now understands how critical it is for everybody to execute their jobs down there. ”

‘The first thing we do is ‘did we have a

good play called?”’ Franks said. “We didn’t have good plays called every time.”

Franks will have less pressure calling the shots this season, as the Blue Devils named last season’s quarterback’s coach, Jim Pry, as its offensive coordinator. Franks said that Pry’s role has mostly gone unchanged in the preseason, but his new tide will evolve as the season progresses. Senior safety Terrell Smith also spoke at the press conference, saying he was confident that the secondary, which was statistically the worst in the ACC last season, has improved. “[The players in the secondary] worked hard this summer and in the spring and in the preseason,” he said. “Our goal during the season is for people to be like, ‘They aren’t the weak link, they’re the strong link.’” Despite the confidence in improvement, Franks expressed his quibbles with opening the season against the No. 18 team in the nation. “I wish we didn’t have to play them at all,” Franks joked when asked if he’d rather play the Cavaliers to open the season or further along in the fall.

OPTIMISM from page 11

ETHICS

Duke is primed for its best season in nearly a decade, and if the predicted success is granted by the football gods, Franks and his players may return from the 2003 season with ever-growing potential and expectation, a positive seed that was planted back in 1999 whenFranks took over for Fred Goldsmith. Indeed, the family tree ofDuke football does have deep roots —it just doesn’t reach that high. If Duke continues to nurture the football program with money and cooperative admissions practices, it will be difficult to keep the Blue Devils down much longer. But to what end? Senior fullback Alex Wade—one of the country’s top scholar-athletes—recently commented that he and his teammates comprise a group that is focused on exceptional academic and athletic achievement. But if Duke can somehow transform itself into a power on the gridiron—in the fashion of fellow academic-athletic stalwarts Stanford or Northwestern —will the same balance exist?

this training for all incoming students in all departments with any NIH funding. “[The executive committee] decided that, as quickly as we could, we should try to make it a formal requirement for all Ph.D. students in the University,” DeNeef said. After a decade of delay, the proposed changes are now coming into fruition. “In general, many students wanted more ethical training in specific topics related to their discipline,” James said. To fulfill this need, each department has been asked to identify one faculty member and one graduate student to facilitate ethics training. Administrators have gone through a range of case study materials and are planning to give each of these departmental groups a number of case studies suitable for that field. The faculty member and graduate student will then be asked to pick a few that would be appropri-

Last week, I walked into a fall sports press conference, one that allowed sports journalists to mingle with representatives of Duke’s soccer, volleyball, field hockey and cross country teams. Anticipating the usual cliche-trained quotes from athletes and coaches, I was pleasantly surprised by an overwhelming sense of optimism and honest sentimentality. And it wasn’t superficial or unfounded, either—each fall sport has a considerable hope at winning a conference title in 2003. But has that mattered in the national media? Of course not. It’s Duke football (and basketball in the winter) that holds the strings. That is not an indictment of either football or the Olympic sports, but rather a precedent that has been set by our society. Football and basketball are, without a doubt, two ofAmerica’s favorite sports (Nascar does not count —hell, train directors drive fast, too, but people don’t gather by the tractor-full to watch them sit and steer). And with that popularity comes money—something that is yet to grow on the Duke football tree (like most other schools). Regardless, universities funnel money into their football programs, hoping to cash in as the next power—Virginia Tech, which rode into the national spotlight on the winning wheels ofMichael Vick, is an example of this phenomenon. But a recent report on the money-machine that has become big-time college football concluded that success in college football does come with increased spending, but it does not necessarily equate to more profits for an athletic program, or for the school itself. But the winning, in and of itself, can bring increased notoriety—schools enjoy increased exposure and enrollment when their football (and basketball) programs win. And clearly, Duke has reaped myriad benefits from Duke’s winning basketball teams. My primary concern, then, is that Duke —and more importantly, the rest of the country —is losing sight of the value of all of its college athletes. Do we put too much pressure on our basketball team to win-at-all-costs, and are we expecting too much out of our football program? And what of our Olympic athletes, who work just as hard and just as long, only to suffer the consequences of a less-interested and less-extensive fan-base? Shouldn’t we take the magnifying glass off them so they can concentrate on studying, partying and just being normal? Perhaps that is easier for non-football or basketball athletes, and perhaps not. Or, as I’m certain others would argue, student-athletes are anything but normal—“they already get a free education, preferential treatment, etc.” Nonetheless, student-athletes should not have to train to unfathomable teammates, coaches, from their schools or their pressures fans (see internet bashing sites, unhappy boosters, sportswriters like me, etc.); they should not be deified nor vilified, but they must not be overlooked. Winning is a welcomed reward and sign of achievement —and as such, “sacrifice” should be a word banned from the sports vernacular. I’m extremely competitive, but even I know that how a game is won or lost is more important that the outcome itself. So as much as I want the Blue Devils to enjoy the same, success in football as I did with the video game, I just hope our athletes remain students first. Yes, success in football would most likely equate to a tributary system of money that would flow into the athletic program and the school as a whole. And yes, money does often lead to better results.

for their department. This requirement has been met with little objection from graduate students and faculty members. DeNeef explained the only problem has been finding people who believe they are competent enough with ethical issues to serve as facilitators. “Our job is to make sure that the faculty feels comfortable keeping discussion going,” he said. “They are not there to teach about ethics. They are there to facilitate case study discussion. I have not seen or heard any resentment against it.” Similarly, post-workshop graduate student surveys enable graduate students to tell the administration what they believe did or did not work. In this way, student feedback is encouraged and a stronger program can be built. “Ethics case studies are obvious—they are in the newspaper all of the time,” DeNeef said. “Anybody realizes that these are an important element for anyone who is going to be a researcher. Our goal is to provide a sufficient number of training experiences.” ate

No Vacancy? No problem Registration plan set forth by RLHS will help manage meeting spaces on campus Beginning this semester, individuals and student groups will be required to contact the Office of Residential Life and Housing Services or their Residential Coordinator in order to hold events and meetings in residence halls and commons rooms. If the space reservation process proves to be as painless and expedient as housing officials claim, it will make organizing and holding meetings easier, while reducing confusion between student organizations competing for meeting areas. The primary goal of this policy is to efficiendy manage meeting spaces on campus, and provide groups with the spaces best suited to their particular needs. Under the new plan, a club can formally reserve a residence hall commons room with the quad RC, or a meeting room with RLHS. Should another group request that same space, it could be matched with another commons room or open space on campus, thus avoiding confusion and the doublebooking of meeting areas. The plan will further benefit students by increasing the community’s interaction with RC’s and other housing personnel. Residential officials will be in a much better position to provide advice and funding to groups when they are kept abreast of events and gatherings. By informing officials of events in advance, groups are much less likely to run into problems during their activities. Finally, by asking groups to register for space, the university is planning to increase accountability. RLHS and quad RC’s are responsible for representing the interests of the students residing in theirresidence halls, and should a group trash a commons area or make a great deal of noise, RC’s and RA’s will now be able to redress the problem. It is important to note that the policy does not prevent students from holding impromptu events like barbeques or study groups. Students will be allowed to use campus spaces as before, but without registering, they do run the risk of having to defer to a group that has reserved that space. The success of this policy is undoubtedly rooted in the ease with which legitimate groups and student activities are granted access to meeting spaces. If students are bogged down by bureaucracy, and are routed through several different locations to obtain approval, extracurricular life at Duke will be hindered more than it is helped. Housing and student officials have repeatedly stressed that reserving space through the new plan will not be time-consuming or difficult. Should this prove to indeed be the case, the new registration plan will be a strong success for RLHS.

Multilateralism with a 'boom'

so many of you, I was horrified to wake up to the news of the bombing of the United Nations Headquarters in Baghdad last week. The smike severely undermined the legitimacy of President Bush’s recent statement that, “Iraq is more secure now than at any other time since the war,” and was undeniably a factor in the collapse of the cease-fire in Israel.

This attack should serve as a wakeup call to the Bush Administration that it is time to change our policy of peacekeeping in Iraq to prevent the situation from escalating further. For months now, there has been an outcry, even in some of the very strongest prowar circles, against the monopolization of Iraqi peacekeeping by coalition forces. A significant portion of the postwar tension in the United Nations has stemmed from concerns over our peacekeeping policy. By excluding international peacekeepers from Iraq, we have only exacerbated concerns over our perceived imperial intent in the Middle East. Until last week, the consequences of our policy were limited to diplomatic tension and a massive increase in U.S. military casualties. As problematic as the above consequences were, they are ones we consented to when we chose to go it alone, save our “coalition of the willing” in Iraq; but now that we have civilian casualties on our hands, it is our responsibility to assuage the problem by swallowing our collective pride and enlisting the assistance of our allies, both pro and anti-war. Beyond concerns over diplomatic tension and rapidly increasing casualty figures, it is also important to bear in mind that if the past is at all indicative of our country’s nation-building capabilities, a stable, capitalist, democratic Iraq will be nothing more than a dream without outside assistance. One needs only to examine hosts of past debacles in Haiti, Cambodia, South Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Panama to see that our track record in nation-building is less than stellar. Our successful efforts, including Japan and Grenada, involved massive investments of time, diplomatic and military manpower, and money through U.S. direct administration or surrogate regimes—investments that a United States rebounding from an economic downturn cannot support. Furthermore, in an area that harbors as

intense a distrust as that of much of the Middle East towards the United States, our singular involvement undermines the perceived legitimacy of any new government, not only in the eyes of other Middle Eastern countries, but in the hearts and minds of many Iraqis—a battlefield that no military power can win alone. Our negative track record in nationbuilding and the mounting costs of Iraqi occupation leave a multilateral administrative policy as the least cosdy and least risky alternative available. While we have more than demonstrated our ability to win nearly any war that we choose to enter, our allies in Western Europe have demonstrated their competence in nation-building and peace keeping, especially under the auspices of United Nations sanctioned-actions. Multilateral administration brings with it the obvious advantage of sharing the burden of costs in money, manpower, and materiel among several allies instead of leaving us to bear the brunt of those costs. The expansion of Iraqi administration to multilateral levels would significantly enhance the legitimacy of whatever new government comes to power—a vital step towards stabilizing the region. Moreover, internationalizing peacekeeping and administration in Iraq would substantially ease tensions between us and our allies over what they perceive as imperial intent in Iraq. The mounting complications and costs of rebuilding Iraq are quickly making a questionable foreign policy situation an extremely bad one. Should the rebuilding of Iraq stall, or worse, collapse entirely in the coming months, more blood will be shed, more lives wasted, and the Middle East could degenerate into even greater chaos. By choosing to enter war in Iraq without significant international support, the U.S. put itself out on a limb from a strategic standpoint. We currently bear sole responsibility for the outcome of this situation. By internationalizing peacekeeping and nation-building in Iraq, we would receive the benefits of decreased liability in the event of failure, a higher probability of success, and lower long-term costs, not only in money, but in lives. Although there are never any guarantees when dealing with the Middle East, or with the international community at large, the likelihood of success in Iraq and in stabilizing Middle Eastern turbulence will increase remarkably as a result of a genuine multilateral effort. And it comes only at the cost of some of the pride of our government. Brian Vetter is a Trinity sophomore. His column

Tal Hirshberg

pieces where the author feels he or she must reach out to the freshman class by sharing the secrets to enjoying college. I

won’t waste your time with feel good oneliners that seem like they came straight out of a poor man’s “Wear Sunscreen” song. Well, maybe just one: No matter what a senior tells you, there is no sex in the Gothic Reading Room! Here are just a few things to make you say HMMM: Holidays. At Duke, Holiday’s are a conspiracy by THE MAN to hold us down. They simply don’t exist. With the exception of Martin Luther King Day, the only things we celebrate are three pointers and the new addition to DDS. No Labor Day, no Columbus Day, not even President’s Day. The rest of the country celebrates George Washington’s birthday, our nation’s first President, but apparently Duke University does not. In high school, we got President's WEEK. Now we can’t even get a three-day weekend. And get this; The University was built by Duke Family money, hence the name Duke University. And, quick, what was the name of the patriarch of that family? You got it. WASHINGTON Duke. Campus Police: Over the past few years,

I think I have finally figured out the Duke University Police Department. I’ve seen countless students disciplined for some sort of drug infraction, most often marijuana use or possession. Punishments range from temporary leave to expulsion. To this day, however, there is yet to be an arrest concerning any of the sexual assault cases of the past few years. In one of the cases, a sketch of the perpetrator was plastered on the front of The Chronicle. The kid is most likely a Duke student, and still walking around campus. The lesson to be learned? Victimless crimes don’t pay, but if you make it so that all bathrooms must now be locked, and scare the bejeeeeezus out of females on campus, then you’re all good. Physical violence is okay, but if you feel like smoking a joint to chill after a week of classes, just remember your Duke experience may be at risk. Unless of course, you’re an athlete. (Do I really need to name names?) The Honor Code; What a joke. Listen, I’m all for academic integrity and what not, but if your going to do it, do it all the way. First off, the idea of signing an honor code seriously bothers me. Honor is all about respect. If you expect me to followyour Honor Code, I expect you take my word. The honor code should not be a contract. I especially find it discomforting that some professors feel the need to remind you of the Honor Code by having you sign it before each exam. Next, asking me to turn in someone who I suspect is cheating is not honorable. It’s called being a rat. Finally, the punishment for our “Honor Code” is nowhere near enough to make it work. The risk of being caught plagiarizing a paper is two semesters off, and one of them includes summer session. It is as if the University is saying, “Cheating is one of the worst things you can do, but if you do

cheat, we’ll be glad to cash your tuition check next year.” Take the ultimate form of an honor code—La Cosa Nostra. You don’t see Tony Soprano asking Paulie Walnuts to sign a written agreement, do you? And you all know what happened to Big Pussy. Schools like University of Virginia do it right. They treat their honor code seriously. You cheat, your done. KAPUT. No second chance. However, they respect their students, as exams are taken whenever a student wants. It’s up to each individual student to understand the repercussions of his or her actions, and decide on their own. Greek Life: It has become very fashionable to many people on this Campus to crack on members offraternities and sororities. Like clockwork, you will find snide comments about Greek Life in this newspaper every week. If you read The Chronicle, we all apparently wear J. Crew and Abercrombie, listen to Dave Mathews, and Drive SUV’s. Don’t believe the hype.

Seriously, you don’t see the members of fraternities get up in The Chronicle and trash independents. I don’t understand this obsession by those not in fraternities or sororities to hate on those that are. And the thing is, for all intensive purposes, Duke has no Greek life anymore. Find a new dead horse to beat. How can you sit there and say that fraternities and/or sororities are exclusive when the only thing being accomplished by Greek bashing is division. Seems like flawed logic to me. It’s my senior year at Duke, and I don’t have any desire to hear about how my friends and I are a bunch of meathead alcoholics who break stuff and then go around telling people about it. Can’t we all just get along? Like I said, a few things to ponder over these first few weeks. I’m off to go break stuffand go around telling people about it. Tal Hirshberg is a Trinity senior.

Challenging the Duke status quo

So,

it’s a new year here at good old Duke. New rooms, new classes, new routines. We haven’t lost a ffat yet, the football team is still undefeated, and the freshmen haven’t quite figured out whose parties they like best. One of the best things about college is that you get a fairly clean slate at the beginning of every year—you get to start over, and have a chance to make things different. Unfortunately, at the end ofevery year, it seems like the

Jonathan Ross same problems exist, the same complaints are made, the same factors blamed, the same bitter columns written in the last few Chronicles of the year. What we don’t seem to realize is that every organization, club, team, and committee that makes up the Duke community and makes decisions for the Duke community is made up of people, and people are capable of changing things. We have a tendency here at Duke to look at certain things as being inevitable: DSG won’t do anything productive, the administration will continue to play musical chairs with the Greek system until there are no frats left, and so on. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are no supernatural forces at work throwing up obstacles in the way of happiness at Duke. Somebody can fix most of the things we complain about, the problem is justfiguring out who and how. For starters, the perennial punch line of the autumn, the football team, has a chance to be different this year. Everyone rags on the team when it’s down, and they’ve been the subject of many a Blazing Sea Nuggets cartoon. So, if the team turns out to be competitive this year, it would be nice if the energy we put into making fun of them could be transferred into cheering them to kick some Tar Heel (or Wolfpack butt around the stadium.

Many of us are willing to spend six weeks camping white kids, tables of black kids, and tables of Asian kids, with the freezing cold to get good seats for basketball only a few intermixed ones here and there, it’s because peogames, but we’re not willing to spend a Saturday afterple chose to sit like that. It may be unconscious, we may feel noon outside cheering for football. Football games are more comfortable around people more like ourselves, but that doesn’t make it inevitable.
