THE CHRONICLE

The second half wasn’t even a minute old, and the women’s soccer team was already tightening the lasso on the unsuspecting Texas Longhorns.

The ball hovering in mid-air and lost somewhere between the mist and Koskinen Stadium’s buzzing Sunday night lights, the Longhorn defenders turned their heads as the ball bent towards the goal. Duke sophomore Carolyn Riggs was following her arcing shot, and her teammates were racing fast enough to make their sweating hair braids seem more like

11 swaying pendulums.

Riggs’ ball came back down to earth just beyond the goalie’s reach and into the back of the net, tying No. 24 Duke’s matchup against No. 4 Texas at 2-2. Senior Gwendolyn Oxenham would send in the eventual game-winning goal 20 minutes later, as the Blue Devils finally toppled a top-ten team, hooking the Longhorns, 3-2.

“Ifs amazing,” Oxenham said following a jumping, screeching team celebration at game’s end. “After having three years of coming so close and always losing at the end, not being able to hold out and finish the game off, to actually

Diversity goal takes new turn by

Andrew Collins THE CHRONICLE

As the Black Faculty Strategic Initiative comes to a close, administrators are reorienting their conception of diversity to be more inclusive, more contextualized and less numbers-driven.

Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe said searches will now aim to increase hires of minority scholars whose ethnic groups are underrepresented in specific departments, rather than the across-theboard hiring of black faculty members that took place under the BFSI. Expectations for the next phase in the diversification of the University’s faculty are more modest than they were for the BFSI. ‘You will find some [continued] emphasis on diversity, but I don’t think you’re going to SEE DIVERSITY ON PAGE 8

Roy Bostock, a former Trustee and a founding member of the DUHS board of directors, will chair the 13-member committee. Dr. Charles Hammond, former chair of obstetrics and gynecology, will serve as vice-chair.

The committee will also be composed of seven faculty members, one medical student, one representative from Durham, one administrator and one Trustee.

Snyderman announced in March that he would step down in June 2004, in tandem with Keohane’s planned departure from the University in the same month.

The play might be the thing, but the Theater Studies Studio will be the place.

The Theater Studies Department will soon unveil its new building—complete with rehearsal space, classrooms and a costume shop—adjacent to the Bryan Center. The completed building is expected to open Sept. 8.

“It’s been a four or five-year process [preparing the Studio], between raising money and eventually getting set up,” said theater studies professor John Clum.

“We’re looking to use it right away; a lot of classes that are currently in the Schaefer Theater or in other classrooms are scheduled to be meeting in there as soon as it opens.”

The Studio is designed to move many technical aspects of campus theatrical productions into a more suitable space.

Bush faces tough decision on Korea by

George

Gedda

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON His monthlong vacation over, President George W. Bush faces tough choices in responding to North Korea’s apparent decision to walk away from a six-nation negotiation designed to curb Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons ambitions.

The administration had high hopes that three days of talks last week in China would start a process leading to the eventual denuclearization of North Korea and to its evolution as a peaceful participant in Northeast Asian affairs.

The sensitivity of the issue was such

that neither Bush nor top aides have commented publicly about the deliberations in Beijing. Bush is expected to discuss possible next steps with his national security team in the coming days.

The chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee predicted Sunday that Bush’s tool of choice would be economic sanctions, which Sen. Dick Lugar said might prompt a military response from North Korean leader Kim Jong IPs government.

“My guess is that we are going to continue to press for some type of economic sanction as a beginner,” the Indiana Republican said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Now there may be a reaction

Vowing revenge and beating their chests, NAJAF, Iraq more than 300,000 Shiites marched Sunday behind the rosestrewn coffin of a beloved cleric assassinated in a car bombing. The FBI said it would join the investigation into the Najaf bombing, which killed 125 people.

Iraqi police said the bomb that exploded after noon prayers Friday at the vast Imam Ali mosque contained the equivalent of 1,650 pounds of TNT. In Washington, FBI spokesperson John lannarelli said the bureau will join the investigation in Najaf.

He said the bureau will provide forensic analysis of the

of North Koreans to that, militarily.

They have threatened that, So that’s not a sure one for peace in our time.”

Nevertheless, Lugar said, “If we’re serious about trying to inhibit the building of those weapons and the proliferation, we probably will have to move in the sanction area.”

When the Beijing talks ended Friday, officials seemed satisfied that another round of talks would be held.

North Korea dashed that hope when it dismissed the process as a trick and said it had no choice but to strengthen its nuclear deterrent force. It is not clear whether North Korea can be persuaded to reconsider.

Students will examine the development of these movements and read the plays that helped define them. Since the theater is essentially a public art form, we will analyze the social contexts and performance conventions that both influenced and were influenced by these works. Topics will include the development of character. motive, the use of visual and musical art in performance, and the social change that modem drama has sometimes sought to promote and sometimes to thwart. In addition, since modem drama is not only a playwrights theater but also an actor's, a director's, and sometimes even a theorists theater, students will examine the ways in which performance theory and practice have affected the development of twentieth-century drama. Readings will include works by Ibsen, Strindberg, Shaw, Chekov, Becket, O'Neill, and Brecht.

The call for the FBI to join the investigation represented a shift after U.S. authorities had taken a hands-off approach—out of deference to the sacredness of the mosque, which houses the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad’s sonin-law, Ali. Iraqi police say 19 suspects arrested so far may have links to al Qaeda.

Many Shiites have blamed Saddam Hussein loyalists for the blast, but it has also stoked anger at the U.S. occupation forces among some faithful, who say the Americans have not provided security since Saddam’s fall.

JHFH Institute Dubin takes over FCJL helm finds director by

Karen

Hauptman THE CHRONICLE

The John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and Internadonal Studies is olf die beaten path —at the comer of Trent Drive and Emin Road, most students are not entirely sure where it is.

But Friday die John Hope Franklin Humanides Institute, housed at the Franklin Center, moved one step further into the University’s intellectual community as it became established under a director independent of the administration.

Srinivas Aravamudan, associate professor of English, took the reins as the center’s first faculty director. He replaces inaugural directors Cathy Davidson, vice provost for interdisciplinary study, and Karla Holloway, dean of humanities and social sciences.

‘This is the first year the Institute has gone to a faculty director who is responsible for the intellectual leadership of the center, coordinating the seminar, administrative duties, all kinds of programming, as well as programs with other departments,” said Aravamudan, who has been teaching at Duke since the fall of 2000. “[I will] have the task of trying to create intellectual focus —trying to put the various aspects into one cohesive theme [and] also coordinating with other departments to bring them to the Center.”

For the Humanities Institute, this new autonomy marks its evolution from an infant department on the fringe ofcampus to a vital center for intellectual discourse.

This was an outpost..., [but] now there’s 100 events a semester, 14 to 16 classes a semester [and] we have the best telecommunications equipment on campus,” said Davidson, who founded the Center with Holloway in 2001. The probSEE DIRECTOR ON PAGES

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

With only several months at the University under his belt, Ari Dubin has already made himself at home as the new director of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life.

Dubin assumed his post July 1, after the University decided to assume more administrative control over the center and appointed former FCJL director Jonathan Gersd as the University’s first-ever executive director for Jewish life. While Gerstl focuses on the center’s financial needs, Dubin will take care of the center’s day-to-day operations and programming.

“Having a full-time director for the Freeman Center will allow me, as executive director, to focus on the bigpicture vision of Jewish life at Duke and cultivate relationships with donors,” Gerstl said. He added that Dubin’s responsibilities will include advising and planning programs with the FCJL’s student board and working on cross-cultural programming with other campus-life

departments.

“Ari has a proven track record in budget management, overseeing a facility and supervising staff, as well as a strong knowledge of Jewish life and Jewish culture,”

Gerstl said. “He also has the ability to design and implement creative and diverse programs, which is quite an essential component to how we relate to Jewish students on campus and how we interact with the greater campus as a whole.”

Dubin earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Judaism in Los Angeles and a Master of Education degree from the University ofTexas at Austin. He has spent the last seven years working in the Jewish community in a number of different capacities, most recently at a Jewish community center in West Orange, NJ. Dubin said he is not planning a major overhaul of

FCJL programming.

Corrections In the Aug. 27 edition ofThe Chronicle, the headline of the Health & Science story should have read, "An Appetite for Paleontology," not "An Appetite for Ar-

we want to make better,” he said. ‘We have a lot of potential here, and I’m not sure there’s a reason to try to throw out the baby with the bath water.”

One tweak Dubin has already made to FCJL programming is the new Shabbat program, which will provide free dinners after services every Friday night.

Dubin said he is also working on how to provide for the dietary needs of students trying to keep kosher, now that the University is no longer running a kosher dining plan out of the FCJL. Livia Fine, FCJL Student Board president, said Dubin’s transition into the role has been smooth.

“Students work well with Ari because he truly gives us ownership,” Fine said. “One of the other board members told me the other day that although Ari has only been

DUKE

here for a little while, it feels as though he already knows more than any of us do.”

Allowing students a voice in the direction the FCJL will take is one of the things both Dubin and Gerstl said is very important for the health of Jewish life on campus.

‘Jewish life should be for and about students,” Gerstl said. “Ari will be able to give the student leadership the necessary support to be successful in reaching out with the greater Jewish population.”

Dubin said he will meet regularly with Fine to talk about upcoming programs and to gauge students’ reactions to past events.

“The Freeman Center is very much a student-led organization,” Dubin said.

Amanda Zimmerman, FCJL Student Board vice president, said Dubin has made it a priority to get involved with students and student programming. “[He] has spent many late nights at the FCJL working to finish things that are important to students,” she said.

Briefs Students ‘roll out’ to buy Ludacris tickets

Sales were robust for the Sept. 24 Ludacris concert in Cameron Indoor Stadium, as about 1,200 tickets were sold to students within the first two hours last week and 1,998 in three days. Duke University Union President Jonathon Bigelow said the speed of sales set a new box office record.

“There was a lot of skepticism surrounding the choice of Ludacris, so it’s encouraging to see the amount of student interest that we’ve seen,” Bigelow said. He added that he thought sales to the rest of the University community and to outsiders will be equally robust. Tickets are on sale at the University Box Office in the Bryan Center.

Military support policy extended The University announced Aug. 28 that it would extend a policy providing temporary financial support for employees called to military duty until the end of the calendar year.

A policy during the first six months of 2003 provided supplemental pay and waived dependent health care premiums for employees serving actively in the military. With the continued presence of U.S. troops abroad, however, administrators found it appropriate to extend the policy through December.

“We recognize the difficulty this prolonged call to service can have on families by extending our continued financial and emotional support during these extsaid inary times,” Vice President for Human Resources Clint Davidson said in a statement.

August 29, 2003 Dear past brothers, family, friends, and Duke & Durham communities: On behalfof Sigma Nu fraternity, we would like to offer our sincerest apologies for the events that occurred on April 14, 2003. Durham and Chapel Hill police found six Sigma Nu pledges near the Durham School for Children off of old Erwin Road. The pledges were dropped off at that location and expected to find their way back to campus. Following the event, Sigma Nu was placed on full interim suspension while investigations by the Duke Police Department, University administrators and the Greek Judicial Board took place.

Following the investigations, we were given a Greek JudicialBoard hearing. We offered a plea of responsibility for violations of the University’s hazing policy and unsafe/irresponsible behavior. At the end of last spring, our fraternity was given sanctions resulting from those violations. Sigma Nu will hold no events during the Fall 2003 semester. This includes all social events, philanthropic activities, intramural sports or any other campus event. The Sigma Nu name will not be used or associated with any on or off campus activities this semester. We will also implement within the 2003 to 2004 academic year phases I through IV of our national LEAD program, a leadership and values initiative run by Sigma Nu national headquarters.

Clearly, the event was in no way meant to harm any of the pledges, but extremely poor judgment was used in this instance. While the event was not an official pledging task, it was a tradition that was unfortunately never removed from Sigma Nu pledging. There was also widespread knowledge of the event within the brotherhood. For those reasons, our brotherhood felt the responsibility for this incident should fall on the fraternity.

We believe this event will be the catalyst to bring about the rapid and necessary changes to our pledge program in order to bring the fraternity completely in line with University and Sigma Nu national policies. It is unfortunate that this incident occurred in a year where so much change did in fact take place in our pledge program. It is often difficult to change years of long standing tradition over a short period of time. We felt our pledge program was moving in the right direction, but regrettably the changes did not occur quickly enough.

I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome the new first-year students to Duke. The fall semester is a great time to get familiar with Greek life at Duke. Traditionally, Sigma Nu events in the fall semester allow first year students to begin to get to know the personality and values of our fraternity.

While we will not hold any events this semester, we are still confident that our brothers will have a strong, positive presence on campus both in the academic and extracurricular arenas. The sanctions resulting from the incident in no way affect the Spring semester and our rush process.

Finally, while we felt the sanctions were harsh, we would like to offer the full support of our fraternity to the newly created Greek Judicial Board. We received a fair hearing and the Greek Judicial Board is a major step in the right direction for overseeing Greek life at Duke. The Office ofFraternity and Sorority Life has also been extremely helpful throughout this entire process.

At this point, our fraternity looks to move past this event and restore our positive presence on campus. We affirm our commitment to abide by these sanctions and remain a contributing group at Duke.

The event was an embarrassment to Sigma Nu as well as Duke University. We once again offer our deepest apologies.

Sincerely,

At

SEARCH from page 1 ship roles in all of academic medicine,” Keohane said in a statement.

Allison Haltom, university secretary, said there would be coordination between the replacement search committees for Keohane and Snyderman, although the presidential selection will be announced first. Following the selection of the new president, Keohane and her successor will have a chance to interview the candidates [for chancellor of health affairs] and make a decision, she added.

“Given the importance of that search to the University, one of the things that both President Keohane and Chancellor Snyderman [thought] was by starting the presidential search early enough, the hope is to have the new president selected by the time the final candidates are known for the Chancellor search, so the new president can play a role, and the Chancellor candidate can know who their boss is going to be,” said Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations John Burness.

The current timeline called for the new president to be selected in February 2004 and the chancellor to be selected within the two months thereafter.

In his 15-year tenure, Snyderman, a faculty member since 1972, increased both the size and prestige of the Medical Center and created the Health System enterprise, most notably marked by the acquisitions of Durham Regional Hospital and

Theatrical productions like the Duke Players' fall 2000 'The Darker Face ofthe Earth" will benefit from the new facilities.

Reynolds Theater in the Bryan Center. “[The Studio] will address numerous qualms,” said Rob Painter, vice president of the Duke Players, the department’s student theatrical group. “It will give the theater studies department room to grow, quite literally; there will be opportunity for more and more highly-tuned

productions.”

One of the most anticipated benefits of the new facility will be the Studio’s new costume shop. The current, smaller costume shop in the Bryan Center has long been a space and efficiency concern for theater studies insiders. The new costume shop will afford current Costume Shop Coordinator Kay Webb “a full complement of resources,” Painter said.

‘We’ve had a great need for a costume shop for awhile,” Clum said. ‘The old shop was very in-

adequate.”

Another notable facet of the Studio will be a space solely dedicated to rehearsals, larger than any other rehearsal space currently in use

It will allow more useful rehearsals for any shows slated for either the Schaefer or Reynolds theaters because of their similar stage sizes.

In addition to department classes, the Studio is also designed to relieve the extra-curricular burden currently borne by other theater studies facilities—Schaefer and East Campus’ Branson Theater. The increased rehearsal space will be a valued improvement for many student theatrical groups, such as Duke Players, Hoof ‘n’ Horn, and Brown and Green, who have rehearsed primarily in these less than ideal theatrical facilities.

“The Branson Theater, while a staple for theatrical productions, is somewhat antiquated,” Painter said.

Although the Studio will open its doors in early September, its formal opening will coincide with the premiere of the Duke Players’ production of “Love’s Labors Lost” Oct. 24.

“The Theater Studies Studio alleviates some concerns,” Clum said. “We’ve got a lot of other facilities needs, but this will be a big im-

provement.”

But then you get real comfortable, and really, I thought I was one of the safest people in the prison. If there had ever been a full-scale riot, I don’t feel like I would have been scared at all because I think [the guards] would have done a real good job of protecting me. There would be times when there’d be a gang fight somewhere in the facility, and everything would get shut down. It really wasn’t a big deal because there was never a fight where I was.

Franklin, a JamesB. Duke professor emeritus of history and prominent civil rights activist, also spoke of his pride in the Center’s work and its important place within the University community. “If I spend a lot of time in my autobiography talking about problems in India and Costa Rica, it’s because I wanted to justify that there was a center for internationalrelations,” Franklin said. “[Davidson and Holloway] are the great architects and implementers of this effort. As each day passes I am more and more thrilled that my name is associated with it, and I can only hope that I can continue to be worthy.”

In addition to the passing of the baton Friday, the Institute welcomed its new class of fellows. Each year, members of the University community, from faculty to graduate and postdoctoral students to professional librarians, participate in year-long residential interdisciplinary seminars, which Aravamudan calls the Institute’s “crown jewel.” This year’s seminar theme is “Monument, Document: From Archive to Performance.”

“People at first said, ‘I can’t believe I have to go all the way over there,”’ Davidson said. “Now they say, ‘This is the center of my intellectual life at the University.’”

Holloway compared the Center to an “adult FOCUS program” because of the similar interdisciplinary approach it has taken to creating a community while exploring the humanities. “Knowing the material we were working with and the inspiration of Professor Franklin’s life and work, we knew we wanted a community space, where people who didn’t usually talk to each other could share a community of ideas,” she said.

DIVERSITY from page 1 find thekind of quantum leap that we saw with African-American faculty,” Chafe said. “It’ll be a slower, more incremental growth.”

The new diversity comes on the heels of the highly successr ful BFSI, which increased the number of black faculty in Arts and Sciences from 16 to 39 since 1995. While administrators said a more nuanced approach is appropriate now, they said the BFSI was necessary at the time it was initiated, given Duke’s past reputation on race issues.

“As a Southern institution with the history we had, it was important to address the African-American issue head-on,” Chafe said.

The new conception of faculty diversity at the University will, depending on the makeup of a given department, encourage the hiring of African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, American Indians and other ethnic groups.

The University will also step up recruitment for women where they are underrepresented, such as in the sciences and engineering.

Not considered in the new viewof diversity will be candidates’ sexual orientation, disability status or religious affiliation.

“We decided to focus so we could get the job done,” said Vice Provost for Academic and Administrative Services Judith Ruderman. ‘That’s not to say we don’t care, because we d0... [but] to us, [the latter characteristics weren’t] the same thing as ethnic and racial diversity.”

Chafe and Provost Peter Lange also said diversity would not play a role in the Appointments, Promotion and Tenure process, after the question was raised in the Academic Council’s May meeting.

‘The academic quality of the candidate is measured by three criteria: service, teaching and scholarship. That’s it,” Lange said, though he noted that diversity can be informally acknowledged in the process because of its status as an institutional priority.

“If it’s an institutional priority, I can bring it to bear, but I don’t want it to be inserted into the APT process,” he said.

A diversity task force chaired by Rex Adams, former dean of the Fuqua School of Business, suggested to the Academic Council that diversity play a greater role in the APT process.

Many professors reacted with vehement opposition, saying the process should remain individualized and not contingent on the candidate’s ethnic background or incorporation of minority issues into his or her scholarship.

NEW DUKE JERSEYS, SAME BLUE RESULTS

No, Virginia, we have no

offense

Even with all CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. the agony the 2001 and 2002 Duke football seasons gave to the Blue Devil community, the team was never shut out. There were several close calls, most notably at Georgia Tech a season ago when the Yellow Jackets scored the Blue Devils’ only points when they hiked a ball our of their own end zone for a safety. But with all the offensive starters returning from a team that averaged 18.9 points per game a year ago, improvement was the only thing to be expected.

But nothing is all we got.

On an unusually high percentage of the offensive plays Saturday, Duke lined up in the Steve Spurrier-like formation of four wide receivers and one running back. Although this set-up allowed the underrated Blue Devil offensive line to push Chris Douglas to a game-high 89 rushing yards, the passing game was nonexistent.

Starting quarterback Adam Smith, who was expected to excel after being unexpectedly adequate in his rookie season a year ago, completed only six of his 20 attempts for 47 yards. That’s a putrid average of 2.35 yards per passing attempt.

While the Cavalier defense played soundly, the Blue Devil offensive statistics far too greatly complement the Virginia efforts.

The Cavaliers only sacked Smith one time, and that was on an end-of-a-half desperation play. Smith was hardly hurried in his other passing attempts, and the Virginia secondary was barely impressive, as well. The passing problems were purely from poor play calling and wretched execution.

The Blue Devils promoted 2002 quarterback’s coach Jim Pry to the offensive coordinator position so head coach Carl Franks could better concentrate his efforts to the entire team, rather than let the offense drain the sand out ofhis hour glass.

This change, however, has proved to be fruidess.

Andy Roland, who a committee put on the John Mackey Award watch list (the award for the best tight end in the country), had the ball thrown to him twice before Duke faced its ultimate 27-0 deficit. Not only was he overlooked in the passing game, he was out of position, as the tight end continually lined up in a receiver’s slot for Saturday’s scheme.

While this strategy might not have seemed unintelligent before the game, the lack of adjustment after its continual ineffectiveness is undefendable.

The Blue Devil coaching staff most likely turned to this strategy because of a hamstring injury to 2002 team MVP running back Alex Wade. Franks made the correct decision to not make Wade’s problem public, as Virginia spent most ofits week preparing to deal with the powerful Wade. When Wade only ran the ball once, it surprised the Cavaliers.

“I personally thought [Wade] was going to run a lot,” expected ACC freshman defensive player of the year Ahmad Brooks said. “Coach kept on telling me ‘you gotta hit the running back hard’ because those guys [are] 6-foot-2, 255. They had Douglas playing in the first half, and I thought they were going to switch off running backs in the second half. Then Wade didn’t come out in the second half.”

In some ways Wade’s absence can be used as an excuse for why Duke played so terribly. But it is also disheartening that the Cavaliers prepared for a completely different style from Duke’s stratSEE

THE CHRONICLE

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. The Virginia and Duke football teams spent most of Saturday’s game without their marquee offensive players. Cavalier quarterback Matt Schaub and Blue Devil tailback Alex Wade watched most of the game from the sidelines, nursing injuries. Judging by the results, Virginia can still win without Schaub. Whether the Blue Devils can win, with or without Wade, remains to be seen.

The Cavaliers destroyed Duke, 27-0 Saturday in both teams’ season opener at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. With Wade playing a minimalrole for the Blue Devils and Schaub missing more than three quarters for Virginia, the game became a batde of field position, with Duke unable to get anything of substance done on either offense or defense.

“We know we can’t play much worse than that,” Duke head coach Carl Franks said. “We know we should not play like that at all.”

Duke only gained 272 yards total during the game, while giving up 373, and

punting nine times. They converted on only three of their 15 third-down, and never made it inside Virginia’s 20-yard line, while Virginia was 100% from the red zone. In addition, starting quarterback Adam Smith only logged 47 pass-

ing yards.

The Cavaliers’ first drive began on their own 19-yard-line. After stalling out at its own 38, A1 Groh’s squad employed a trick play to get out of a jam on fourth and one. Punter Tom Hagan completed a 9-yard pass to Marques Hagans, breathing new life into the Virginia attack. The Wahoos then made the most of their second chance, with Schaub passing for a total of 84 yards on the game’s first drive.

Schaub’s efficient play and the dazzling runs of sophomore tailback Wali Lundy led Virginia to the Duke 1-yard-line.

Rolling out and looking for an open receiver, Schaub was dragged down from behind by sophomore linebacker DeAndre White for an eleven-yard loss.

The Heisman candidate was shaky getting up, and left the field as the Cavalier field-goal unit took the field. The initial drive netted Virginia three points, but it

cost the Cavaliers their star for the remainder of the game to a shoulder injury. It is not known exacdy what is wrong with Schaub at this time.

“I guess he just landed on that shoulder wrong” Franks said. “I hope Schaub’s alright.”

Although three points would have been enough to cook the Blue Devils, Virginia added three touchdown and another field goal. At the opening of the second quarter, replacement quarterback Anthony Martinez (6-for-15, 76 yards) threw a screen to widereceiver Art Thomas, who broke tackles down the field, traversing 39 yards before being knocked out ofbounds at the Duke twoyard-line. Lundy, who gained 88 yards on 21 carries, followed up with an easy trot into the endzone, Virginia head coach A1 Groh had nothing but praise for Martinez, who he said “brought his team home under difficult circumstances.”

Neither Lundy nor Martinez nor tailback Alvin Peatman (68 yards on 13 carries) had a stellar individual performance, but each of them contributed to an inexorable Virginia assault that torched Duke early and often.

The batde for field position was a losing fight all night long for Franks’ squad, who started four drives inside its own 19-yard line and only two past its own 25-yard line.

‘The effectiveness [of Hagan’s punting] was tremendous,” Franks said “You don’t get many 95-, 92-, 98-, 99-yard drives; the odds are against it.”

It was particularly tough for Duke to get any offense going, given that Alex Wade only touched the ball once, gaining a meager four yards.

“Alex has had a little bit of a problem with a hamstring,” Franks said. “He played a little bit here and there; we needed to make sure we had him for die rest of the year.”

Duke will face a considerably easier opponent next week, when they face Division I-AA Western Carolina.

“Losing’s always a bad thing,” noted tailback Chris Douglas. “But it helps you put things in perspective.”

Men’s soccer handles Liberty, Georgia Southern by

Gabe Githens

THE CHRONICLE

The men’s soccer team (2-0) took an victory lane this weekend as they continued their success into the early season with wins over Liberty and Georgia Southern.

Playing in the Wolfpack Invitational at Duke’s own Koskinen Stadium, the Blue Devils trampled over the lowly Liberty Flames 4-0 Saturday and finished with a strong second half to beat Georgia Southern 4-1 Sunday evening.

“The defensive effort this weekend was outstanding,” head coach John Rennie said. “A lot of heart, a lot of determination, a lot of toughness. It was great to see.”

After outshooting the Eagles 7-4 in a first half full of a drizzling rain, Duke had nothing to show for its performance but a tied game with just over three minutes remaining in the second period. The Blue Devils used their defensive line of Matt Ahumada, Matt White and Kyle Helton to set up several scoring attacks.

taken down from behind by freshman defender Helton. Defender Brad Mitchum took the free kick from just outside the 18yard box and rifled it through the hands of Duke goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge into the back of the net.

“It made us wake up and get reorganized,” Rennie said. ‘We responded very, very well.”

Wymer, who had two goals on the night, opened the game with a score at the 42:23 mark as sophomore lan Carey hustled down the right flank and served a ball into the box. After several Georgia Southern defenders missed Carey’s cross, Wymer volleyed the ball behind goalkeeper Adam Webb.

“There’s a lot of runs where I don’t get the ball,” Wymer said. “I just try to make the most of it when I get it. Sometimes its being at the right place at the right time.”

The Blue Devils opened their regular season Saturday afternoon with a 4-0 throttling of Liberty. Junior White scored the first goal of his career with a 25-yard blast past Flames goalkeeper K. J. Sabotchick to give Duke a 1-0 lead.

Freshman Josh Swank contributed in his first game ever as a Blue Devil with a goal assisted by Cila and Carey. Perhaps the only problem with Saturday’s 4-0 victory was a slight groin injury to junior Nigi Adogwa.

He sat out Sunday’s match, but Rennie said it was not a major injury.

The Blue Devils will take the field again this Friday against William and Mary in the Duke Invitational at Koskinen Stadium.

Decision impending from top PG recruit by

Sarah McCabe fights for the ball with two Texas opponents in Duke's 3-2 upset victory Sunday.

LONGHORNS from The Chronicle page 1 the box, including one in the 19th minute that saw Duke miss twice when the goalie jumped out of position and left a Texas defender fending for herself. Then once head coach Robbie Church substituted Riggs and freshman Rebecca Moros into the game, it was the Blue Devils driving the herd.

Moros streaked into the box and received two crossing passes —one from Riggs —but missed both of her open shots. With four minutes remaining in the first half, Riggs set up freshman Darby Kroyer all alone just outside the box, and Kroyer booted a low liner into the back left of the net for what Church called a “brilliant goal.”

“I think it’s part of a mix of youth and veteran, older players, because we kept the level of intensity level for a longer period of time than we did last year,” said Church, who won his first game against a top-ten team after losses to No. 1 North Carolina and No. 8 Penn State in 2001, and then a tie with No. 2 UNC after last season’s loss to then-No. 5 Texas.

“We wouldn’t have won this game last year; we would’ve been up but given it back away. That’s the maturation of our players. We still have to work on some in-

game situations, but it’s early.”

After a first half in which Duke outshot Texas 7-2, it was early in the final stanza when Riggs bent it like Beckham past Longhorn goalie Alex Gagarin, giving Duke a 2-1 lead. It was the third goal of the weekend for Riggs—she had two in two minutes during the Blue Devils’ 6-0 win in Friday’s season opener over Campbell—but she could have had more.

Streaking down the right sideline in the 62nd minute, she sent a touch pass to Casey McCluskey, who tapped a soft shot to the right side. Gagarin dove to save it, but Riggs put in the rebound for what seemed like Duke’s third goal. But after an emphatic celebration, the referee called offsides, nullifying the goal and prompting Church to bark from the sidelines, “You better be right!

You better!”

Riggs, on a role, remained optimisdc.

“Soccer is unpredictable,” she said, “and I think that more than anything I’m happy that the entire team could step it up and that we didn’t need it. Last year, I feel like if that goal wouldn’t have gone in it would have been a lot more disappointing. But of course it is; it was ridiculous.

It came off the keeper, and there’s no way it could’ve been offsides.”

Oxenham, though, gave Duke some much-needed

Men’s basketball recruit Greg Paulus may be on the verge of making a college decision.

In a telephone interview with The Chronicle Saturday afternoon, Paulus’ father Dave indicated that Greg may announce his decision as early as this week.

“I think it’s very possible that he’ll make [a decision] before mid-September,” Paulus said. ‘There’s a possibility he may make it next week.”

Paulus, a 6-foot-2 point guard, is considered to be one of the top point guard prospects in the class of 2005. As a sophomore last year, Paulus averaged 24.5 ppg and 6.5 apg at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, NY Paulus is also a talented quarterback who has already broken the New York state touchdown pass record.

Paulus has narrowed his college list to Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Syracuse, and Xavier.

breathing room when she deflected a crossing shot past Gagarin, whose outstretched arms were too short once more. Oxenham was glowing after what was just her eighth career goal ended up being the game winner.

Her goal became more pressing in the 78th minute when Kelly McDonald, who was single-handedly pushing the Texas offense all evening, backpedalled to reel in a pass that she had just overran and rolled it past Helgadottir, bringing the Longhorns within one.

But the Blue Devils were too on last night, too busy not getting caught in the stadium lights to be intimidated by

one of those teams they could never beat. They swallowed up McDonald and the desperate Texas offense, only to clear the ball repeatedly and, with the final hom, step right up into the national spotlight.

“I think our team just has a much better winning mentality,” McCluskey said. “We just get a lot more pumped for games since we’re so much more confident, even though we’re young. I think last year we came in as an underdog, and this time we came in definitely expecting to win.

“As far as a team goes, that was the best team we’ve ever beaten.”

THE CHRONICLE

Whisked away to Delaware, pair of blowouts for hockey by

Jesse Colvin

THE CHRONICLE

Simply put, Duke’s field hockey team had a really nice weekend.

It took a trip north to participate in the Blue Hen Classic in Newark, Del., began its season nicely Saturday against the University of Delaware with a 3-1 win and then capped off the weekend with a 12-0 pasting ofWest Chester Sunday afternoon.

About the hardest thing the Blue Devils had to endure was the long bus ride home.

And what’s more, they managed to outscore the football team 15-0 on the weekejid

tally.

It was an offensive explosion for Duke (2-0) against West Chester (0-2). The Blue Devils’ 12 goal effort tied for the second highest goal total in school history. (Duke scored 13 goals in back-to-back routs of Appalachian State and Lehigh in 1997.)

They also registered 27 shots and 14 penalty corners in the game, including 10 in the second half.

Overall, new head coach Beth Bozman said she was pleased with her team's effort this weekend, pardcularly the team’s ability to maintain their level ,of play against a weaker opponent.

‘Well, we won two games so that’s good,” Bozman said. ‘We were a little up and down yesterday. We played pretty well today. We didn't play down to their level, which is good because sometimes there is a tendency to do that....”

“We stuck to our game play. If we were playing against a better team we would have played the same way. We stuck to the game plan and executed the way we wanted to.”

Duke came out firing against the ;

Golden Rams, notching their first goal of the day less than three minutes into the contest, when junior Gracie Sorbello knocked in freshman Hilary Linton’s pass to put the Blue Devils on the board.

A second team All-ACC selection last season, Sorbello had a career day, recording three goals and three assists. The Davis, Cal., native, who scored the team’s only goal last week in an exhibition loss to defending national champion Wake Forest, was matched by sophomore Nicole Dudek, who also managed to put three shots past the West Chester goalie.

‘There was lots of scoring across the board,” Bozman said. “Hilary [Linton] and Johanna [Bischof] in the middle played very well together. We tweaked the lineup a little bit...the results speak for themselves.”

Indeed, it seemed almost every Duke player got in on the action. Eight Blue Devils scored goals, and Bischof registered four assists.

Saturday’s matchup with Delaware ended with the same result although the road to victory was a little less lopsided.

After waiting out a two and half hour rain delay, the Blue Devils pushed past the Blue Hens on the strength of sophomore Katie Grant’s play. The 2002 ACC Rookie of the year paced the team with a goal and an assist. The game was notched by the Blue Hens midway through the first half, but Duke’s Bischof scored to put Duke back up on top, and junior Chrissie Murphy added an insurance score late in the game.

“We are happy where we are now,” said Bozman. “But we will be tested next weekend against JMU.”

JENNYMARRON/THE CHRONICLE

Samantha Fisher and Tassy Rufai record a block in Duke's marathon match versus Marquette,

OFFENSE from page 2 egy Saturday, and still had a shut out.

The offense cannot be completely blamed for the loss. After the Blue Devil defense knocked Heisman candidate quarterback Matt Schaub out of the game in the first drive of the contest, it was obvious Virginia would concentrate its efforts on the running attack. Last season, Virginia ran for a horrendous two yards against Duke, who had statistically the best run defense in the ACC in 2002.

The Virginia offense took a note or two from the Duke play calling and continually called the same play—running the ball to the left side. But in contrast, this strategy THIS

was effective. Wali Lundy ran for 88 yards, including 42 yards on three plays at the end of the first half. Lundy’s backups proved too much to handle for Duke, as well, with Alvin Pearman running for 68 yards and Marquis Weeks gaining 47 on only four carries. Even though the Blue Devils knew exacdy what the Wahoos were going to do, they failed.

“When [Schaub’s injury] happened I said, ‘We know what they're going to do.

They're going to run,’” Franks said. “It was very disappointing the way we tackled, but Virginia ran hard.”

With this wretched performance Duke knows it needs to and can dominate Western Carolina next week. But as shown against Virginia, Duke does not always respond to what it knows is coming. „

Yuri Dyshlenko was born in 1936, spent 30 years in Leningrad before emigrating to New York in 1990; he died in 1995. His style was collage-like, an information age bombardment of visual data. He felt that all art is self referential for the viewer, a stimuli of the modern world seeking noise, the masses; like television and photographic advertising. The goal to capture visual was the opposite of pop art cliches, a monument of the Soviet myth of the American lifestyle.

A&S budget restrictions hurt faculty

The

recent decision to conduct only 20 faculty searches this year instead of the standard 3040 will save Arts and Sciences $1 million, but will not allow' many departments to grow at the rate they might have preferred. Since faculty searches only eventually extend offers 75 percent of the time, and the average number of departing faculty is 2830, this means the size of the faculty will assuredly decrease as well.

A decrease in faculty is never a good sign for a university. In order for Duke to continue to increase its reputation as a research university—especially important for recruiting graduate students—it should grow, but the reality is that the school is not in a place to do that right now.

For several years, Arts and Sciences has been trying to control its budget, and this decision has been foreshadowed by announcements last year about a spike in financial aid spending, a modest cut in searches and the impending Arts and Sciences deficit. The A&S Council already raised tuition and capped faculty salary increases at a rate lower than inflation, essentially cutting salaries.

Even as the school tries to face long-standing funding questions, Arts and Sciences faces a budget deficit even more daunting than expected. New federal aid policies mean the University will not recoup as many of their financial aid expenses as anticipated. The plethora of new construction sites on campus has also forced Arts and Sciences, which pays 60 percent of operating and maintenance costs on buildings, to incur significantly higher receipts.

This also comes at a time when Arts and Sciences is trying to recruit a new dean of the faculty to replace William Chafe, who will step down at the end of the academic year. Contracting searches now will begin to stabilize the budget, making the job more desirable to potential candidates.

This move will hurt some departments in the short run. Political Science, for example, had three searches last year that yielded no new hires; this year they will have none. If this trend continues, it will be hard for departments to retain their formidability and faculty recruiting may become difficult.

To avoid a chronic problem, the University needs to reevaluate the scope of Arts and Sciences’ expenses, beginning with its financial obligation to facilities. In some cases 60 percent of operating costs is unreasonable as Arts and Sciences does not use 60 percent of the space. Although Arts and Sciences is the largest area of the University, it should not have to support other sections, such as engineering and medicine, that are relatively flush with resources.

On the record “After my sabbatical, if I do come back to Duke, I expect to be working on the theme of inequality and I expect to be spending a lot of time here."

President Nan Keohane, speaking at the John Hope Franklin Center Friday.

I went to a party and returned three hours later at roughly 1 a.m. to find my front lawn and the street in front of my house so filled with people so as to make it hard to move. I had observed the same thing at every student house that I walked past on the way home. Now, even the most paranoid of our critics must admit that we certainly didn’t invite 100 freshmen over.

In fact, we spent the majority of the next two hours telling people to either come inside or leave, and the majority of the next morning cleaning up the aforementioned beer cans that they had brought from elsewhere.

Blacklisted

In

South Africa, there is a vibrant “colored” community that was positioned politically between blacks and whites by the apartheid government, in order to divide their non-white opposition. There is much debate in South Africa about what constitutes these colored people: their roots, the extent of mixed racial heritage in the community, their cultural history. But what is most interesting to me about this group of individuals is the extent to which their identity is influenced by the societally constructed extremes of black and white.

Philip Kurian Coloreds in South Africa, like many

people in the United States, occupy a region of society in the proverbial gray zone. While their place in South African society was determined in large part by apartheid ideology, it is maintained by a lingering cultural identity that sets limits on what is acceptable and what is not. In many ways these limits are defined by the two extremes between which the community is placed; white and black.

There is a common saying among the coloreds of Cape Town, which expresses their dual frustrations in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa: “During apartheid we were not white enough, and now we are not black enough.” While receiving many privileges not afforded to blacks during apartheid, coloreds undoubtedly suffered much white racism in that period.

Now, nearly a decade after the first democratic elections in the country, coloreds do not receive the same disadvantaged

status that many blacks receive for social programs and aid.

Yet the collective identity of coloreds, beyond their socioeconomic status, is what has been affected most by these policies. Not unlike many minorities in the U;S., young colored people speak of “acting white” or “talking white,” a manner of speech associated with education and the use of by-the-book grammar, or even with being raised in a foreign country. I take issue with the whole notion of “acting white,” here or abroad. What does it mean to “act like a white person”? (or, for that matter, to act like a black person?) I know lots of white people who can dance, and tons of black people who speak nothing but pure English.

Of course we all perpetuate stereotypes, but do we honestly think we can reduce any particular human action to some amorphous comment based solely on race? By ascribing a certain style of speech or a particular way of dress to all members of one ethnic group, we severely limit the possibilities for members of that group who might deviate from the standard. In doing so, we place huge shackles on individual identity and force people into restrictive roles that may not be at all who they are. We unknowingly rule out a whole range of human experiences and prevent interactions that could take place, if only we were a bit more commonsensical.

We see it all the time in the movies.

Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins.

"Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen. The loud, arrogant black guy meets the mild-mannered, educated white man. Ha, ha. A perfect recipe for comedy. Why are these things so damn funny to us? Not only do they reinforce stereotypes about blacks and whites, but they place an in-

creasingly firm wedge between whiteness and blackness in our society: what they mean, how they are perceived, and

who benefits.

The strange thing about the concept of “acting white,” unfortunately, is that it often arises from within non-white communities. The constant portrayal of education and intelligence as “white” (and thus “bad”) gready undermines the pursuit of these goals in poor black (or colored) communities. Further, our eager acceptance of these stereotypical definidons

"By ascribing a certain style of speech or a particular way of dress to all members of one ethnic group, we severely limit the possibilities for members of that group who might deviate from the standard." for “acting black” or “acting white” infuses those who might deviate from the standard we have set with an overwhelming sense of loss and confusion-to be oneself means to have lost the part of one’s identity associated with ethnicity. And in all of this we tend to buttress the idea that you don’t need to take the time to get to know individuals, their race is all you need in order to stock, file and categorize them.

The sad thing about this paradigm is that the vast majority of the burden lies squarely on the shoulders of minorities.

Currently, because whiteness is such an amorphous, meaningless concept, losing a sense of one’s whiteness means very little to most whites. Conversely, for many blacks, losing a sense of one’s

blackness (or the part of one’s identity associated with that cultural heritage) is tantamount to self-destruction. This disparity in experience explains why raising educational and professional achievement in the black community will be such a difficult, arduous process.

Even if we could ignore the fiscal disparities in education for blacks and whites, racism dies hard. Its impact on the psyche of black America dies even harder; the kind of affirmative action we practice now will not go much further in uplifting the millions of poor blacks in America’s urban and rural centers.

Their lives are set on an injurious path at a very young age, in part because of the little jokes we tell, the movies we support, and the social scenes we restrict ourselves to on campus.

The situation is not at all hopeless, like many issues of race seem at times.

Besides each of us making a valiant effort to restrict the use of damaging stereotypes in our everyday lives, it is imperative that we give more meaning to whiteness in our society. Many of my white friends talk about how cool other cultures are and complain that being white “is so boring.”

By demonizing whites as a monolithic group of oppressors, or by having different standards for whites when it comes to race, many minorities unthinkingly perpetuate the stereotypes that are hurled back at them. Setting a racebased standard for one group can only serve to ingrain race as a standard for others. These things are hard to change, but going the extra mile to learn about someone’s background (instead of figuring them out by race) is where it starts.

UNCLE EBENEZER and DJ RIDDLE Reveal Duke’s Koch and Boh

In

a move that would have made Bob Woodward weep, The Chronicle placed a name on the by-line of last week’s Monday, Monday column. We would like to begin by clarifying that we are not, in fact, Jonathan Pattillo. His column runs every third Friday and clearly he could not be two people. It appears that The Chronicle’s editorial editor joined Mike Corey for a drink or two last Sunday night. Only at the end of the semester will our identities be revealed, in case you are a freshman and don’t know such things.
