The last time that Duke (0-1) and Western Carolina (0-1) met on the football field, the Blue Devils defeated their intrastate rivals 24-10 at Wallace Wade Stadium on opening day of the 1998 season. Five years later, Duke will once again be hosting the Division I-AA Catamounts, but this time both teams will looking to even theirrecords at 1-1.

Both schools are coming off week drubbings Western Carolina fell 59-20 to then-No. 14 North Carolina State and Duke was blanked 270 by then-No. 18 Virginia—and they see week two as a chance to get their seasons back on track. ‘We’ve got to find out about ourselves and see if we can’t get back to where we’re capable of being,” Duke head coach Carl Franks said. “I think our players are embarrassed.

The first two weeks of school mean spending large sums of money on textbooks. While most students purchase their textbooks on campus at the University Textbook Store in the Bryan Center—as the recently massive crowds indicate—local independent competition from the Regulator Bookshop on Ninth Street and booksellers on the Internet challenge the Textbook Store’s superiority. The Regulator has developed a relationship with many Duke professors, said Randy Campbell, the store’s manager. Associate Professor ofWomen’s Studies Kathy Rudy has ordered textbooks for her classes from the Regulator for over 10 years. “The Regulator is a long standing progressive bookstore and has been an institution in Durham for at least 20 years,” Rudy said. “[Or-

dering textbooks] is a really good way to support them.” Assistant Professor ofPhilosophy Andrew Janiak also said he orders from the Regulator in order to give it support. He said he began to order from the Regulator last year—his first year at Duke—due to its position as a community bookseller. He said he sought them out, and lamented that the Regulator does not advertise its services to professors. The desire to patronize independent bookstores is not restricted to professors. Sophomore Larissa Goodwin said she sees the Regulator as more than just a place to buy textbooks. “The Regulator is a great bookstore,” she said. “It offers a lot of resources to students that they might not know about if their professor hadn’t sent them there to buy books.” SEE TEXTBOOKS ON PAGE 9

BAGHDAD, Iraq The United States wants to quickly add former Iraqi soldiers to the new Iraqi security forces, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Thursday. Rumsfeld arrived here to see firsthand the conditions and to talk to military and civilian leaders of the U.S.led occupation. Shortly after landing at Baghdad International Airport, Rumsfeld shook hands with American troops and briefly visited wounded soldiers in a hospital tent.

Rumsfeld shook the hand of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Meyerhoff, who was wounded in the right leg in an ambush on a convoy in Baghdad. Rumsfeld planned to meet later Thursday with Paul Bremer, the civilian administrator in Iraq. Rumsfeld said military commanders do not see the need for more U.S. troops in Iraq, but said that more Iraqis need to be trained to help provide security. U.S. officials are considering allowing enlisted soldiers and junior officers from the former Iraqi military to join the U.S.-trained Iraqi security forces,

the defense secretary said. “This is their country. They are going to have to provide security,” Rumsfeld had said earlier aboard an Air Force airplane that stopped for a refueling in Ireland on its way to the Middle East. He gave few details on what conditions the United States would want for an increased U.N. role in Iraq that is being pursued by Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Palestinian prime minister seeks support by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RAMALLAH, West Bank Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, weakened by his power struggle with Yasser Arafat, addressed Parliament Thursday in a quest for support and told lawmakers he would not launch a crackdown on militants. Just before the session, Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli in a shooting ambush near the West Bank town of Jenin. The A1 Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, an armed group linked to Arafat’s ruling Fatah movement, claimed responsibility. In an angry demonstration outside the parliament building, about 200 Fatah activists promised to defend Arafat, and seven masked men from the crowd broke down a door to the

building and smashed windows. Unarmed guards eventually forced the men out. In his speech, Abbas was summing up his first 100 days in office, a period marked by somewhat reduced violence but also disappointment over a lack of movement in implementing the U.S.-backed “road map” peace plan. A cease fire declared June 29 by militant groups collapsed after a Hamas suicide bombing in mid-August killed 21 people on a Jerusalem bus. Abbas told lawmakers he would continue talks with militants rather than launching a campaign to disarm and dismantle their groups. see Palestinian

It took six days. Our guide Woke us up about midnight to hike to the top. It was pretty nice to hike at night because the sun wasn’t out and the moon was full. The first four days were pretty easy. We didn’t really have any trouble at all, so we were kind of like, ‘This is nothing too challenging.’ On the last day though, it took six hours to get to the top and that was really hard.... It’s pretty cool because once you get to the top you can start seeing some of the snow fields, and at the top there are these huge glaciers—you don’t feel like you’re even in Africa anymore. But we both got altitude

sickness—nausea, headaches, and you can’t really think straight. About two hours into it, I started feeling it, and ShiYing got sick at the top. It was just one foot in front of the other. If you get sick before the last day they usually don’t let you go up, but since it was the last day they car-

Our guide said we were hurting our chances of getting to the top if we tried to carry everything. We had a guide and five porters. A couple and their daughter, who were going up the same time we were, had five guides and 25 porters.

Duke nabs Professors weigh in on Iraq efforts six UNC

THE CHRONICLE

Duke professors are weighing in with a variety of explanations and potential solutions to the struggling peacekeeping effort in Iraq, but all agree on one aspect: the situation is bleak and does not appear to be improving. The unilateralism and poor planning of the Bush administration contributed to the peacekeeping difficulties, several professors said. “The planning for the post-war phase was not nearly as creative, effective or reliable as was the planning for the combat phase,” said Peter Feaver, professor of political science. Legitimacy —or a lack thereof—was also seen by some as a central problem for the United States, which invaded Iraq last spring and deposed Saddam Hussein as dictator. Despite a general consensus on the reasons for the United States’ travails, there is significant disagreement from professors on how to proceed. Several advised adding more U.S. troops, some suggested transferring power to a United Nations international peacekeeping force, and others said the only way to achieve success was for the United States to get out of the country as soon as possible. Christopher Gelpi, associate professor of political science, said he believes more troops are necessary to provide a minimum level of security for the country. “One hundred and sixty thousand troops simply can’t control a space that large if people want to resist,” he said. “It doesn’t take a lot of resources to run the kind of campaign that we see the al-Qaeda and Ba’athist loyalists taking up right now.” Sanford Institute of Public Policy Director Bruce Jentleson, however, said sending more troops is “not a solution” because it is not sustainable and does not address the crucial question of U.S. illegitimacy. He said a U.N. Security Council resolution establishing the basis of a partnership for peacekeeping in Iraq would be highly advisable, and, in fact, such a resolution now appears to be in the works.

The Division of Orthopaedic Surgery recently hired six faculty members away from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, including its Chair of Orthopaedics Dr. William Garrett. Garrett, president of the American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine and physician for the U.S. Women’s Soccer team, will coordinate sports medicine research and will practice orthopaedic sports medicine when he comes to Duke this month. “Our goal has always been to build the top sports medicine program at Duke,” said Dr. Claude Moorman, director of sports medicine and associate professor of orthopaedic surgery. “The best use of Dr. Garrett’s skills will be in educating residents and fellows and coordinating research initiatives.” Moorman added that when he was brought in as head of sports medicine two years ago, he met with Garrett and realized that the situation at UNC was not ‘the greatest,’ he said. “We [had] discussed the possibility of him coming back then,” he said.

CORRECTION The lead story in yesterday's edition of The Chronicle incorrectly identified the name of a group of Durham residents, as well as the area where they live.They are the Trinity Park Neighborhood Association, not the Durham Park Neighborhood Association.

Others disputed that involving the U.N. would increase the peacekeeping effort’s legitimacy within Iraq itself. “Here’s the problem; a U.N.-run mission might have greater external legitimacy, meaning Europeans might like it more... [but] the world will still blame the U.S. for everything that’s wrong in Iraq and won’t blame the U.N. if the U.N. botches the mission,” Feaver said. ‘The bomb that destroyed the U.N. headquarters [in August] exposed the myth that the U.N. would provide meaningful internal legitimacy in larger doses than the U.S. is able to provide. Those who are opposing U.S. efforts to rebuild Iraq will oppose others’ efforts.” To “win” the peace, many professors said it would be necessary to develop a functioning Iraqi government with stable institutions for law and order. Ebrahim Moosa, associate research professor ofreligion and co-director of the Center for Study ofMuslim Networks, said the United States is failing so far with its underfunded

and weak provisional government. There’s no substantive power in the hands of Iraqis,” he said, speculating that the American civil administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, was frustrated with the lack of funding from Washington and was near resignation. Bremer could not be reached for comment. Most professors said it was too early to call Iraq a “quagmire,” the term frequently used in the 1960s and 1970s to refer to the drawn-out American war in Vietnam. Political Science Professor Robert Keohane, however, said he thought the situation had already deteriorated to that point. “[The Bush administration] didn’t understand the lessons of Vietnam,” he said. Keohane and others said the effort was ill-advised from the beginning. “They’re not supposed to be there in the first place,” Moosa said of coalition forces. “Occupying anybody else’s country is not going to be a cakewalk. You didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to predict this.”

Union calendar makes return to Internet by

Mission Statement •

Chair Manual �

Robert Winterode THE CHRONICLE

After a period of inactivity, the Duke University Union has re-launched a new and improved version of its oncepopular online activities calendar. Union President Jonathan Bigelow said the calendar will make information about meetings and events more accessible to the general student population. “The Union will be seeking to take a more aggressive approach toward cataloguing the events of the University, which includes looking at how students find out about events,” said Bigelow, a junior. Student calendars have had a checkered history at the University. The Union calendar originally surfaced in 2001-2002 and was “fantastically popular,” Bigelow said, but was eventually discontinued due to lack of use and a web service crash. A Duke Student Government calendar also came online prior to the old Union calendar but subsequendy failed. Partly in response to the “anarchy” of the online student calendars, the University Calendar—a joint project by the Office of News and Communications and the Office of Information Technology—was created, said David Jarmul, associate vice president of news and communications. “The Duke central calendar is meant to be a comprehensive listing of events of interest for Duke’s population,” Jarmul said. He acknowledged the calendar’s imperfection, however, saying Duke News and OIT have been discussing a “more robust, comprehensive calendar” in the future. Bigelow said the Union calendar was resurrected in part because the University calendar was not fulfilling students’ needs for an informal and complete schedule of student-specific events. Many clubs’ activities were not listed, he said, because the University calendar requires a representative of the organization to post events. The Union calendar will be updated by Union officials. Still, Bigelow said, the Union calendar is not trying to compete with the University’s own version, but is rather a much-needed supplement. He emphasized that the success of the Union initiative depends on the participation ofclubs. “I encourage student leaders, programmers and social chairs to alert the Union about events that they’re planning or see missing on the calendar. Our effort won’t be a success unless those who hold events on campus think of it as one of the tools in their publicity kit,” he said. “In this time, when a lot of people are complaining about the lack of social life on campus, it is imperative that somebody spearheads a project about what is happening on campus.”

China ignores request Drug company funds to loosen up currency ad warning of abuse by

China and the United States,” Wen was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua News Agency. ‘This system accords with China’s reality,” he added. Despite its huge role in global trade, China is the largest economy whose currency isn’t traded on world markets. The yuan—also known as the renminbi, or “people’s money”—has been fixed at about 8.28 to the U.S. dollar since 1994. It is allowed to fluctuate, but only in tiny increments—a fraction of 1 percent —and in closely regulated trading by official agents. Last month, the U.S. National Association of Manufacturers said that its official rate was 40 percent too low and gave Chinese exporters an unfair price advantage in the U.S. market. Chinese economists, however, say the country can’t afford to set the yuan loose until China’s hybrid socialist-market system develops stronger institutions to guard against damaging currency speculation. Such activity crippled many regional economies in the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis. And while China’s foreign trade is surging, unemployment is rising and the financial system is wobbling under a load of bad debts. Those problems could get much worse if a stronger yuan raised costs for exporters and slowed economic growth, Chinese economists say.

Christopher Bodeen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brushing off American BEIJING pressure for a freer currency, China’s premier offered U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow no promises Wednesday and reiterated his assertion that a stable yuan benefited both nations. The outcome Wednesday ofSnow’s twoday trip to Beijing offered little concrete hope for manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, who believe the yuan is being deliberately undervalued to keep China’s exports competitive. China says it’s simply good financial sense for all involved. While saying he had been assured that progress would come, Snow indicated the Chinese offered no timetable and would not likely be moving soon. “I was repeatedly assured that interim steps are being taken and there will be further progress,” Snow told reporters. When asked whether President George W. Bush was disappointed in the Chinese stance, White House spokesperson Scott McClellan said: “I think it was important just in and of itself that we’re bringing this issue up, and that we’re raising the issue, and that’s progress.” State media said Premier Wen Jiabao told Snow that freeing the yuan remained China’s ultimate goal, but that changes would happen only when the economy was ready. “Maintaining the stability of the exchange rates of the yuan benefits both

U.S. executes abortion doctor killer for first time by Abby Goodnough NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Most of the roughly 50 supporters of Hill were white men, some kneeling and praying, others singing “How Great Thou Art.” Abortion rights advocates said they planned to attend the execution and press their cause, but there was not a single person representing that movement. Three protesters said they were there to condemn Hill’s violent act. About 20 others came to oppose the death penalty. Dan Holman, who said he drove here from Keokuk, lowa, said Hill had “raised the standard” for anti-abortion protesters. “Some day, I hope I will have the courage to be as much as a man as he was,” said Holman, who carried a sign that said: “Dead Doctors Can’t Kill.” Even before his crimes, Hill was known for advocating violence against abortion providers, and his extreme views had won him a high profile. With a serene voice and smile, he became a spokesperson for the cause after

STARKE, Fla. Nine years after he calmly shot and killed an abortion doctor and his volunteer escort outside a Pensacola clinic, Paul Jennings Hill died by lethal injection here Wednesday as his supporters declared him a martyr and warned that they might replicate his action. Hill, a former Presbyterian minister, is the first killer of an abortion provider to be executed in the United States. He had not tried to prevent his death, which took place at Florida State Prison, just after 6 p.m. as lightning jagged across a near black sky. But abortion advocates fear what Hill’s followers have hinted for months: That his death will spur a wave of violence against abortion clinics, many of which have operated in relative peace over the last few years. Addressing reporters in a final interview here Tuesday, Hill made the same prediction. “I believe in the short and long term, more and more people will act on the principles for which I stand,” he said. Hill also said that while it was not his choice to die, “I’m willing and I feel very honored that they are most likely going to kill me for what I did.” Last month, the state attorney general, Charlie Crist, and two top prison officials received death threats in letters that contained bullets. Dozens of police officers surrounded the prison here Wednesday, and prison officials said it was the tightest security at a Florida execution since Ted Bundy was put to death here in 1989. As the hour of the execution approached, protesters gathered in a field across from the prison in three separate areas: One for Hill supporters, one for Hill opponents and the third for those against the death penalty.

another doctor, David Gunn, was shot to death by Michael Griffin at Pensacola’s other abortion clinic in 1993. Griffin is serving a life sentence. In the interview Tuesday, Hill said that Griffin’s action had inspired him to kill Britton, who had replaced Gunn at the clinic. In the months following Gunn’s murder, Hill appeared on television shows like “Nightline” and “Donahue,” where he drew parallels between killing an abortion doctor and killing Adolf Hitler. Hill insisted that murdering abortion providers was “justifiable homicide,” a defense he attempted to use in his trial but that the judge would not allow. Dr. John Bayard Britton had just arrived at the Pensacola Ladies Center in the early morning of July 29, 1994, when Hill approached and began firing with a .12* SEE ABORTION ON PAGE 20

PARKING FEE have to pay the parking fee if they choose to drive to games, regardless of whether they possess University parking permits. “One of the largest complaints we’ve received in the past has been finding available parking, as well as inbound and outbound traffic flow,” said Mitch Moser, associate athletic director. The fees will help pay for a larger staff and other measures that will help ease the parking crunch and “give people more time to get to the game and enjoy the atmosphere and tailgate, all the things that go along with college football,” he explained. This year, lots will open earlier than they did in previous years—at noon for evening games and 9 a.m. for early afternoon games —and will have more parking attendants directing traffic, Moser said. The athletic department will not profit from charging the parking fees. ‘The revenue is basically a cost recovery,” he said. “We are going to be employing three times as many people and incurring far more man-hours both with parking attendants, parking and transportation services staff, as well as Duke police, highway patrol and Durham County deputies.” In addition to hiring more staff to cover more ground, the fees will pay for extra sig-

nage and a gameday guide that includes parking directions and promotional information for home games, Moser said. The fees are “intended to be permanent,” he said, and will be charged for basketball games as well. Game attendees will also have more extensive parking options, as Parking Garage IV and the Duke University Road lots will now be open, said Melissa Harden, assistant director of parking operations. Those lots will offer a total of more than 800 extra parking spots, raising the total number of parking spots available to the general public to over 3,000. There will also be nearly 1,700 spots for Iron Dukes. Jose Piscoya, Trinity ’O2, who has continued to attend Duke football games since his graduation, said he did not encounter significant problems with parking last year and was not sure a parking fee was necessary. “I don’t think it’s such a great idea,” he wrote in an e-mail. “Considering the current interest and fan attention that the Duke football team brings, adding an extra $5 for parking might deter some fans from attending the games on a regular basis.” Piscoya’s memory of football parking will ring true for many students tonight. “I think as a student... the bigger problem was having to move my car out of the way for the fans to arrive and park the next day,” he added.

Haynes said. “Such a model of collaboration is a very powerful way to do big science on a large scale.” The $45 million will be spread across five years and in addition to funding research in smallpox, anthrax, West Nile Virus and the plague, it will also be used to train personnel to work in biocontainment areas and sponsor research-oriented sabbaticals, Haynes said. Robert Johnston, a researcher participating in SERCEB and professor of microbiology and immunology at the UNC acknowledged the fact that such a comprehensive initiative to foster advances in biodefense research is a rather daunting task to lead, but hopes the expertise of the researchers involved will lead to a successful project. “It’s an experiment, but in this case it’s an experiment that’s warranted,” Johnston said. “We bring different backgrounds and expertise to the project, so if you put them all together, a solution would be more forthcoming than if we tried to do these projects independently.” Eric Toone, another SERCEB researcher and professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Duke, points to Haynes’

excellent capability to organize and assemble such a large group of accomplished experts. “It’s all about Bart [Haynes],” said Toone. “When you dangle $45 million in front of a bunch of scientists, it makes them jump, but it’s those who work the hardest and work the fastest and who take the ball and really run with it who win the project.” Although the sizable funds awarded to SERCEB are exciting, money will look much less alluring once it is distributed across all the participants in the projects, Johnston said. “Forty-five million dollars is a lot of money, but if you divide that money by the number of investigators and institutions involved, it’s not an outrageous sum,” Johnston said. “The work is quite expensive and gets expensive pretty quickly once you include all the animals, materials and regulation approvals necessary for all the trials and

experiments.”

Rather than the money, Goldschmidt is most interested in potential for exciting research in science that can now be done. “The era of the individual working alone in his lab is over—collaboration is the future,” Goldschmidt said. “[The SERCEB] is like an orchestra that is substantially greater than its individual parts.”

Almekinders added, however, that Duke did not ‘recruit’ the five physicians, nor did they approach Duke. “One of the group serendipitously had a conversation with the Duke system and realized there was an opportunity at Duke,” said Almekinders, who is also program chair for AOSSM. Because the physicians’ clientele is primarily from Chapel Hill, Almekinders said the current office on North Duke Street is only temporary, adding that within the next two years they would like to return to Chapel Hill. Although the clinical practice will be the focus of the five orthopaedic surgeons, they will still continue their clinical research. “All of us don’t come into this as just having been academics.... We were all tenured professors with both national and international recognition, and that’s not something we’re going to give up,” said Almekinders, who spent a year at Duke as a fellow. However, he plans to finish his research collaborations at UNC for the time being and will eventually begin research in Duke’s orthopaedics division, which is ranked fourth in the nation, Moorman said. The orthopaedics division is currently spread out between its clinic in Duke South, its sports medicine unit in the Finch Yeager Building and offices near The Streets at Southpoint and Durham Regional.

tendings when Moorman was a resident at Duke, Moorman said. “I hope that by returning to Duke, I can help expand sports medicine clinical practice, as well as [bring] clinical and basic research to the forefront,” Garrett said in a statement last week. The other five former UNC faculty members—Dr. Scott Kelley, Dr. Joe Minchew, Dr. Louis Almekinders, Dr. Paul Tawney and Dr. David Thompson —have already set up an orthopaedic clinical practice, which opened July 15, and will operate at Durham Regional Hospital, one of the two community hospitals owned by Duke University Health System. Moorman said DUHS supported the recruiting of the five physicians forming the practice to help fill a void in patient volume at Durham Regional. The additional volume at Durham Regional will both help the hospitahfinancially and alleviate the three- to four-month waiting periods currently faced by patients seeking out treatment from the orthopaedics division. “If they’re full, that we can decompress it a little bit; hopefully, people referred to Duke won’t have long waiting periods,” Almekinders said. He said one of the primary reasons he moved to Duke was the difficulty he faced as a state

employee.

“There were lots of administrative hurdles anytime we’d try

Junior Mary McKee found ordering a textbook online to be preferable to purchasing it at the Textbook Store. “[The book] was cheaper than it was at the bookstore. It came fast and was easy,” she said. Despite the competition, Walker said aside from normal fluctuations from semester to semester, he had not observed a change in sales due to the competition. “I don’t think there has been a decline in sales volume,” Walker said. “Books ordered through other stores are often very low priced trade books or novels.” Despite the little effect on sales, Walker pointed to other drawbacks of using outside booksellers, including students not being able to buy books for all of their classes at the same time, as well as the ability to buy books using their FLEX accounts.

not heard dissent from students. “Because it is

centrally located, none ofmy students mind going there,” Janiak said. ‘They' are perfectly happy to

go there as opposed to the Textbook Store.” Such sentiments, however, are not shared by all students. “I found it to be pretty inconvenient when I was a freshman,” sophomore Donny Plainer said. “As an upperclassman I would find it even more inconvenient, since the bookstore is located off of East.” While some students and professors value shopping at an independent bookstore like the Regulator, other students are simply trying to find the best deal on their textbooks.

CHINA CURRENCY from page 6 “China’s economy is in transition, and its market system is incomplete. So you can’t just let the rate be set by the market,” said Li Qingyun, an economist at Peking University. Li also disputed claims that the weak yuan was responsible for China’s export competitiveness, citing China’s low labor costs and cheap overheads. Imports from the United States and elsewhere would rise once scheduled tariff cuts go into effect, he said. In the meantime, Li said, preferential policies for U.S. goods could be instituted to reduce political pressure on China to allow the yuan to rise. “Full trading is the goal,” he said, “but the condi-

tions now aren’t ripe.” Strict controls keep most dollars, yen and other foreign currencies that flow into China from leaving the country. The government has piled up more than $350 billion in foreign reserves—a figure Chinese officials cite as a buffer against fiscal crisis. Although they’ve offered no timetable for freeing the yuan rate, Chinese leaders have been easing controls on the movement of money to help businesses and guard against the rise of the yuan. Such moves are seen as steps to prepare their financial industry and economy for a

free-floating exchange rate. Snow urged those steps be expanded and new initiatives taken, including liberalizing long-term debt transactions and developing open capital markets.

The new spot is part of a much broader effort intended to fight prescription drug abuse through a program that includes cooperating with law enforcement agencies, financing anti-abuse programs that go into schools and the distribution of tamper-resistant prescription pads to more than 14,000 doctors. There was also an educational campaign aimed at teenagers, carrying the theme “Painfully Obvious,” that included giving away squishy toy brains dramatizing the risks of prescription drug abuse and a Web site,

Stamford, Conn. The current ad campaign—aimed largely at parents, police and medical professionals—began in February 2002. It includes print, television and radio components. It appears not only where it might influence legislators, but in markets where there has been significant abuse, from Florida to Pennsylvania to Alaska. The current spot will probably run through November, with decisions on further installments to come early next year. Earlier commercial showed pharmacists or police officers delivering messages like, “Prescription drug abuse is a problem we all need to fight.” The company would not describe its spending on the current ad campaign, other than to say it had spent several million dollars so far.

‘This government does not deal with the opposition groups with the policing mentality, but the mentality of dialogue,” he said. The parliament speaker, Ahmed Qureia, has temporarily blocked a confidence vote Abbas had wanted to follow his address. Qureia said parliament shouldn’t be dragged into the struggle between Abbas and Arafat, who have been arguing over job definition and control over security forces. However, a vote might be held next week, if mediation efforts fail. Abbas was reluctandy appointed by Arafat as the Palestinians’ first prime minister in April under pressure from Israel and the United States, which have accused Arafat of blocking peace efforts. But he has minimal support among Palestinians and could be toppled, dealing a heavy blow to efforts to end three years of violence and move toward Palestinian statehood. Secretary of State Colin Powell, meanwhile, said in Washington that Arafat—whom the U.S. and Israel have sought to isolate—“has not been playing a helpful role.” “If he wanted to play a helpful role he would be supporting Prime Minister Abbas, not frustrating his efforts,” Powell said. Several Palestinian legislators said they were told by local U.S. diplomats that if Abbas is ousted, Washington might lower its profile as Mideast mediator.

TEXTBOOKS from page 3 you knew the gun was there...so why didn’t you use it to defend yourself?’ They tried to act [as if] the gun was her salvation when it was actually the source of her fear. While

the Cape of Good Hope, [my

roommates and I] wanted to see baboons. We

saw this baby and while we looked to the left, this male baboon came up to the car, pulled out our window, jumped into our van and went directly to the food. Everyone was flipping out—the girls were crying and I was scared, but I was trying to act like I was okay, and so I pulled out my [BB] gun—working for Gun Free Africa—and shot the baboon, but it didn’t budge. Finally we got it out with a stick. It was running around with our Tupperware and our tour guide chased it, even though we were ready to just leave. Of course, we were cracking up when we left, but during it, we were so scared—we thought we were going to have death by baboon.”

Michele Lanham, senior Egerton University Njoro, Kenya “I've never felt as white or as female as when I was in Kenya. Dr. Sherryl Broverman, senior Courtney Crosson, and I went together, and everyone thought Dr. Broverman was our mother and Courtney and I were sisters because we were all short, white, and brunette. An easy mistake to make, we knew, but we still found it humorous. We spent most of our time at Egerton University in Njoro, meeting with administrators, professors and students to help them develop a curriculum for their new course on HIV/AIDS and to promote their newly established Women’s Institute—the first and only in Kenya. [We met] a group of women and discussed issues they dealt with on their campus as female students. We had to meet in secret so that male students would not barge in on the meedng. They told us about how women running for student government are expected to perform sexual favors in exchange for votes—one girl jumped out of the window of her dorm room to escape male students who were threatening her. These things do not take place on all campuses in Kenya, thank goodness, but are more prevalent at Egerton because it is a more rural school with a 75:25 male-female ratio. These issues are, however,

reflective of larger issues that women in Kenya deal with, contributing to the fact that women are at higher risk of contracting the HIV virus than men.”

Ryan Kennedy Cross-Cultural Solutions Ghana Woe, Ghana “Stepping off the plane, the thick, humid African air rushes up and smacks you in the face as a hello: ‘Welcome to Ghana, you have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.’ In my new hometown, Woe, the myriad of children running around were amazed to see white people strolling about. They would constantly yell out ‘yevu,’ —the Ewe word for white person—and practice the bit of English they kriew: ‘What is your name?’ ‘Where are you going?’ ‘Give me money’ I was also a bit startled to see a fashion trend among a portion of the population —Osama bin Laden tshirts. My director later explained to me that many people have no idea who he is, but they like his look and long beard. For my work in Woe, I taught computers and economics at a high school—the headmaster was extremely trusting of my supposed ability to teach. My first day, I was given a class and told to teach.

I realized we’d be changing the lesson to the very basics of computers. A few weeks before I left, I decided to go a bit more native and have my hair braided. After the painful three-hour process, employing four braiders, two bags ofhair extensions and a lot of patience, I strutted into class to show off my new ‘do.

Men’s soccer looks for vengeance at Classic by

THE CHRONICLE

TOM MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

Jordan Cila will attempt to keep the Blue Devils undefeated as the men's soccer team faces William Mary and UCSB this weekend. &

For the men’s soccer team, opening the season 2-0 has been quite a daunting task over the past few years. Not since 1999 has a Blue Devil team been able to dismantle their first two opponents of the season. This year Duke (20) has easily torn through its two opening games and hopes to double its win total to four in the Duke Invitational at Koskinen Stadium this weekend against William & Mary and UCSB. ‘We’ll definitely be ready for tomorrow night,” senior Matt Ahumada said. ‘We’ve been looking forward to this. Last year it was a hard way to end the year but this year we have a new team and a new attitude.” Ahumada is referring to last year’s season-ending 2-1 defeat to the William & Mary Tribe (0-1). Since that loss, the Blue Devils have ripped off two preseason and two regular season victories in 2003. The Tribe are led by senior Phil Hucles, who fired seven shots in their season-opening loss to Rutgers. William & Mary began the season at No. 25 in the rankings, and will certainly pose more of a challenge than Duke’s victo-

ries against Liberty and Georgia Southern. The Blue Devils have been led in the scoring department by two unlikely players. Senior Danny Wymer, who had only scored two goals in his three years at Duke, netted two goals in Sunday’s match against Georgia Southern. Sophomore Blake Camp has been controlling the midfield with ease in the team’s opening matches. Distributing the ball with accuracy, Camp had three assists last weekend as well as a goal. Duke’s leading scorer last season, Jordan Gila, continued his outstanding play with a teamhigh six points last weekend. “A lot of times in the preseason we have a great attitude and it begins to taper off,” Gila said. “Right now, we’re on an upward climb and the young guys are playing really well.” Duke will utilize its young players in Friday night’s match against William & Mary, a team that only used two substitutions in its opening match. As the host for the tournament, the Blue Devils play the early game on Sunday at noon. Barring another rain SEE CLASSIC ON PAGE 18

Livingston unfazed by Panins’ commitment by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Sometimes, in the world of college recruiting, no news is good news. In a telephone interview with The Chronicle Thursday afternoon, top point guard Shaun Livingston reiterated that he had no favorite despite the recent commitment of one of Livingston’s closest friends, heralded forward J.R. Smith, to North Carolina. Duke, North Carolina, Illinois, and Arizona are all vying for the services of the spindly 6foot-7, 174 lb. Peoria, IL native. “Right now the schools are even,” Livingston said The point guard also hinted that recent commitments, including Duke’s recent verbal promise from Greg Paulus, would not affect his college decision. In addition to the

Paulus commitment, Arizona received word from power forward Mohammed Tangara and North Carolina received verbals from Smith and junior guard Marcus Ginyard in the past eight days. “It could [affect my decision], but I doubt it,” Livingston said about Paulus’ commitment. “[Paulus, Tangara, Smith, and Ginyard] are great kids for each school, but I’m still deciding on my decision for me.” Livingston confirmed that he and Smith are friends and that he will be making an official visit to Chapel Hill with him this weekend. In addition to Smith, North Carolina has received a verbal commitment from top power forward

Marvin Williams, who is also friends with Livingston. Livingston did confirm, however, that he had met Duke commitment DeMarcus Nelson and current Duke guard Sean Dockery, although he did not personally know anyone else on Duke’s current roster. “Me and [Nelson] were real cool,” Livingston said. “I developed a pretty good friendship with him.” He also had high praise for Coach Krzyzewski and the Duke program. “[Duke’s] got Coach K, one of the best teachers in the game,” Livingston said. “I love the way their guards play, the freedom they give to the guards.” Last year Shaun Livingston averaged 16 point per game, eight rebounds per game and seven assists per game en route to leading his Peoria Central high school team to a 31-1 record and a state championship. He is ranked as the third best player in the class of 2004 by Rivals.com, and is considered by many to be the best point guard in the class. “Shaun Livingston is the best passer I’ve seen in 40 years,” Livingston’s coach Chuck Buescher said in an interview with The Chronicle last week. “Shaun has the ability to make everyone around him look better because of him.” Buescher, however, would not speculate on Livingston’s college choice. “I don’t know if Shaun knows [where he’s going to commit] Buescher said.

W. Carolina has experience and consistency on its side to give them the nod. Last year, senior QB Brian Gaither completed 20-of-37 passes last week along with a touchdown pass. Unless the Blue Devils step up their defense, Gaither could challenge the score.

In Duke football, the central term is still "rushing game"and the center of that rushing game is still Alex Wade and Chris Douglas.The duo currently rests on a fat cushin of over 1,000 yards ahead of second place for combined rushing yards. If the offensive line holds, this power tandem will run it all day... ooh it sounds so good. Last week, the Blue Devils turned to QB Adam Smith and received a dull roar in response of just 47 passing yards. Duke will need to make a much better showing to beat out the Catamounts who boast defensive end Michael Spicer, if he's healthy.

Basically Brent Garber is the man when it comes to kicking. ECU 51 yards in the rain. Whaaaat... Duke's special learns should be able to run through, around and over a smaller and less athletic Western Carolina squad. Punter Brent Garber should probably get a day off, too.

Whoever wins on Saturday, there is going to be some afterparty.Western is fighting for its first win against Duke and the Blue Devils are fighting for some dignity. After an upsetting, scoreless —ok I won't get too gorey here—loss to Virginia, Duke will have to show that they really are as promising as we all had hopes they'd be at the beginning of the season. I'm giving the Blue Devil's the nod. I'm not losing hope that we've lost all sense of the great game offootball and I am not ready to compare Virginia's program to Western Carolina. Duke gets it together and takes out the Catamounts 30-10. —Compiled by Paula Lehman

CATAMOUNT from page 1 facing a slew of more prominent opponents in the ACC, the Blue Devils are not taking their Southern Conference foe lightly. “[Western Carolina] has some outstanding players,” Franks said. “They weren’t intimidated by NC State at all. I think they’re a very good football team, so they’re very much a concern for me.” In order to avoid its first-ever loss in three games against Western Carolina, Duke must attack a defense that got lit up for nearly 500 yards by N.C. State and Heisman Trophy candidate Philip Rivers. The Blue Devils’ offensive output against Virginia—a meager 47 yards passing from starting quarterback Adam Smith, a three-of-15 conversion rate on third downs, and zero points —should improve against Western Carolina’s less

potent defense. The Catamounts do feature a strong pair of defensive ends in senior Michael Spicer and Nick McNeil, who were tabbed team All-Southern preseason first Conference by the league’s coaches. However, Spicer—a 2002 third-team All American with 53 career tackles and 21.5 career sacks—was hobbled by an ankle injury against the Wolfpack and is questionable for the showdown against the Blue Devils. “Michael Spicer went in the N.C. State game questionable, and he still has the same status,” Western Carolina head coach Kent Briggs said. “I don’t know if he’ll play against Duke or not. He didn’t get a chance to perform up to his abilities against N.C. State.” Offensive production will be key for Duke in Saturday’s contest, as the Catamounts have shown the ability to put up points when they control the ball.

Duke VS Charlotte* Friday, September sth at 7:30 p.m.

Senior quarterback Brian Gaither threw for over 1,000 yards in 2001 and 2002, and is the Southern Conference’s top returning passer. The 6-foot-3 Winston-Salem native, who also plays on the basketball team, completed 20-of-37 passes last week for 173 yards, one touchdown and no

interceptions.

Gaither has a pair of talented receivers in second team-All-Conference selection Lament Seward and junior Michael Reeder, who caught a career-high nine passes against N.C. State. “We know some things about Duke’s defensive schemes, but we’re not looking to pick on any certain person or particular weakness on their defense,” Gaither said. “Our passing game is working well, but that’s all because our offensive line is doing a wonderful job picking up blitzes and knowing what’s going on.” The Catamounts will also look to take advantage of a Duke running defense that

allowed 204 yards against Virginia, a surprisingly weak spot given the Blue Devil’s knack at stopping the run last year. “We would obviously love to run the football against Duke because it helps you control the game,” Briggs said. “But Virginia has running backs stockpiled. If we had those running backs, we’d run all the time, too.” After having played in front of nearly 54,000 Wolfpack faithful at Carter Finley Stadium last week, the atmosphere in Wallace Wade will not intimidate the Catamounts, who are the only I-AA team to play against two BCS-eligible schools this season. ‘This is a great opportunity for us to play two ACC games against high quality teams,” Gaither said. “We’ve been hearing all year that this game against Duke is going to be easy and that we should get a win. But we’re not looking at it like that at all. We’re going into this game knowing that we’re going to have to fight hard for it.”

GRID PICKS After a harrowing week of partying off East Campus and cleaning urine off of the side of their house with a firehose, the Grid Pickers decided to take a wellearned hiatus. Piling themselves and their gametime snacks into the GridPicks Cruiser (recently stolen from a sausage-addled John Madden), the intrepid Pickers followed the paraphrased advice of ‘Top Gun” troubadour and American treasure Kenny Loggins: They. Went. To. The. Blue. Zone. The GridPick squad was set to engage in the most important pre-kickoff ritual (with the exception of Brent Garber’s obsessive gargling): they were set to tailgate. Before the grill got going, warm Pabst and pork rinds were the only food available, which was none too pleasing to the Kosher-keeping “Are you going to Scarborough” Kare -n Hauptman. Her Grid Picks life-partner, “No Pain, No” Jane Hetherington, sat on a folding Dallas Cowboys chair autographed by Leon Lett while playing Game Boy* Mike Corey “Spelling” was unable to make the get-together, as he was in his room, yelling “You’re my boy, Blue!” to his framed picture of Maurice Clarett.

Redskins squeak by Jets in season opener

THOMAS FRANKLIN/KRT

Keyshawn Johnson was unable to help the Jets overcome a late game-breaking drive by the Redskins,

by The Associated Press LANDOVER, Md. The JetSkins let their feelings be known when the grudge game was finally over and they had won. Kicker John Hall confessed that he dreamed “the whole offseason” about making a game-winning kick to beat his old team in the NFL’s season opener. He did just that Thursday night, nailing a 33yarder with 5 seconds left to give the Washington Redskins a 16-13 victory over the New York Jets. “It’s pretty much one of those stupid things you do when you’re done practicing,” said Hall, who also had kicks of 50 and 22 yards. ‘You make up those situations where you have this or that—and I’m sure you know which team it was against.” Guard Randy Thomas, who has spoken politely of his ex-teammates, snatched a moment of glee as he watched the ball sail through the uprights. “To see those guys with their faces down when the kick went in, it was a lovely feeling,” Thomas said. The other two Jet Skins—the spoils of an audacious offseason raid by Redskins owner Dan Snyder—did their parts in an instant rivalry created by the offseason player tug-of-war. Laveranues Coles danced and scowled his way for 106 yards receiving on five catches—all in the first half, and Chad Morton was solid in his debut as the Redskins’ return man. “Thank goodness Mr. Snyder went out and got us a heck of a kicker,” said coach Steve Spurrier, who went through three kickers last year. ‘The way our kicking situation was last year, I [didn’t] see us winning this game.”

Patrick Ramsey not the most nimble quarterback, set up' the winning score with a

24-yard scramble to New York’s 31-yard line. Ladell Betts earned three times for 17 yards to wind down the clock for Hall’s attempt. “It’s tough because when it’s tied up, you’d like to win it,” New York coach Herman Edwards said. “For the most part we stayed in the game. We weathered the storm early, got some turnovers but had to kick field goals.” Ramsey completed 17 of 23 passes for 185 yards, but only 29 yards came after halfdme as Spurrier’s Fun ‘n’ Gun offense went surprisingly conservative. Ramsey also turned over the ball twice in die second half, setdng up two Jets field goals that tied the game. “When we threw the ball in the second half, nothing good was happening,” Spurrier said. “I got sort of afraid to go back there. Our defense was playing so well, we just put in on the ground.” VinnyTestaverde, returning to the starting job after a preseason wrist injury to Chad Pennington, completed 15 of 24 passes for 105 yards for New York. Of the four ex-jets, Coles was the only one to voice any real animosity toward his former team during training camp. He found Hall’s game-winner to be a perfect ending. “It just goes to show that sometimes the grass is greener on the other side,” Coles said. Redskins linebackerLaVar Arrington was a terror, chasing down players in die flat to turn potential long gains into short ones. His stats—six tackles and one batted pass —didn’t begin to show the difference he made as the Jets were held to 158 total yards in the NFL’s second ever Thursday night opener.

the Duke and UCSB (0-0-1) match. Since last season, Duke has improved its’ depth on the bench considerably. Freshman Chase Perfect, Josh Swank and Kyle Helton have shown tremendous potential in the early going of the year. ‘Those [freshmen] guys are all really talented players, but more so they are really great guys,” Cila said. “As far as fitting in they don’t have bad attitudes or anything that make them more individual than a team player...They really mesh great on the team.” The Gauchos from California, a team that will be ready for the heat, will be a difficult turnaround match for the Blue Devils. Memo Arzate, a senior midfielder, controls the field for UCSB and will likely be matched against Blake Camp. Arzate has the only assist on the year for UCSB as it came to a 1-1 draw against San Jose St. to open the year. Last weekend’s two victories for Duke came against lowly squads that did not disrupt the Blue Devils’ flow. This weekend begins the real test with two matches against teams that can bring the heat. “Everyone is happy when we win,” Gila said. “When we win, the guy who doesn’t play at all and the guy who-plays the whole game are both happy.”

gauge shotgun that he had bought days earlier. Hill, who had left the ministry and was painting cars for a living, had frequently passed out leaflets at the clinic and sometimes screamed, “Mommy, don’t kill me!” outside its windows. In an interview with The New York Times in 1995, Hill said he was nervous but resolved as he aimed his gun that morning. “It was an act of will not to begin to think why I shouldn’t be doing what I was doing,” he said in the interview, “but I knew —I mean, the thing that kept me going through it was that I knew that if that man got into that abortion clinic, he would kill 25 to 30 people. And I’d determined that he had done that for the last time. He wasn’t going to make it in.” Hill first shot and killed James Barrett, a 74-year-old retired Air Force lieutenant who had driven Britton, 69, to the clinic. He then turned his gun on Britton, shooting him in the head as well and injuring Barrett’s wife, June, in the process. Barrett, 68, had been crouching on the floor of their pick-up truck. Britton, who lived near Jacksonville in northeastern Florida and flew to Pensacola once a week to perform abortions, had been wearing a bulletproof vest. Hill later said he suspected Britton wore such a vest, and had deliberately aimed at his head. Pensacola, a conservative city at the western tip of Florida’s panhandle, had long been a center for radical anti-abortion groups. But in recent years, the movement has quieted there: Only a few people protest outside the city’s two abortion clinics these days, and the protesters

IRAQI SOLDIERS frotn page 2 are the 50,000 to 60,000 Iraqis currently “involved in security activities,” he told reporters. Rumsfeld estimated that other countries could provide “maybe another division” in Iraq, or about 10,000 troops. There are now about 140,000 U.S. troops and about an additional 22,000 from 29 other countries in Iraq. U.S. generals believe there is no need

sometimes lunch with clinic escorts at a nearby restaurant, the Orlando Sentinel reported last week. Still, seven abortion providers and other employees of abortion clinics have been killed in the United States and Canada in the last decade, according to the National Abortion Federation, an abortion-rights group in Washington. The latest was Dr. Barnett Slepian, who was shot to death in his kitchen in Amherst, N.Y in 1998. Whether or not Hill’s death leads to more attacks on abortion clinics, the debate over abortion in Florida will likely intensify in the coming months. Republican lawmakers are trying to rouse support for a public referendum on whether to require parental notification for minors seeking abortions. Meanwhile, Gov. Jeb Bush went to court last month to argue that the fetus of a retarded rape victim deserved its own guardian, which abortion-rights groups saw as a threat to Roe v. Wade. Sterling Ivey, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Corrections, told reporters this evening that Hill was pronounced dead at 6:08 before 24 witnesses. Just before receiving his injection, Hill said: “If you believe abortion is an evil force, you should oppose the force and do what you have to, to stop it.” Hill’s final statement was preceded by claps of thunder that were audible in the death chamber, Sterling said. In the field across the highway, some of Hill’s supporters knelt and shouted “Speak Your Wrath, Lord!” as inky clouds surrounded the prison and thunder boomed. At 6 o’clock sharp, the group released yellow balloons into the sky and a few men sobbed. The rain started then, and did not let up for hours. for more U.S. troops in Iraq, Rumsfeld said, despite a series of car bombings in the past month that have killed a key Shiite Muslim cleric and the top U.N. envoy. Some members of Congress have called for more troops to be sent to Iraq to improve security in a country where American soldiers still continue to face almost daily attacks. Training and equipping Iraqi security forces is better than sending more American troops because the Iraqis are not an occupying force, Rumsfeld said.

Eliminate Annual Review for Frats

Finally,

the Annual Review is under review. After years of forcing fraternities and selective houses on-campus to jump through meaningless evaluative hoops with little hope of reward', campus officials have commissioned a new committee to overhaul the process. The committee, led by

Campus Council president, junior Anthony Vitarelli, has pledged to make the system one of positive incentives and one that takes into account the varied strengths of different organizations. The current Annual Review system is complicated and unbalanced. It reviews selective living organizations on the basis of seven separate categories—faculty interaction, member-led programming, community service, educational programming, cultural programming, leadership/scholarship/citizenship and social programming. The basic idea behind the process is that members of selective groups are guaranteed Main West Campus housing for three years, while the average student is not. In exchange for this privilege, the University expects a show of good faith and contribution to the community in return. Such an exchange is not unreasonable, but it does not need to be complex and overly burdensome. Unfortunetly, the existing Annual Review process is both of these things. First, the rules for what kinds of activities count for which of the seven categories are unclear and often unrealistic. Further, die system is inherently designed to cater to groups that have been formed for reasons other than socializing. A fraternity organized around community service or cultural diversity will have a much easier time completing the Annual Review than socially-oriented groups. In addition, the University seems not to take under consideration the fact that fraternities are already beholden to requirements similar to those of the Annual Review by their national organizations. Most frats must perform community service and take other steps to be involved in the community. University officials should also be careful not to overlook the tremendous social contribution frats make to the social lives of students. They provide parties, mixers, barbeques and off-campus events that many students attend. Indeed, the social activities sponsored by the school’s fraternities are directly responsible for many of the experiences that contribute to people’s image of a true “college” experience. In light of these considerations, the new Annual Review should not apply to fraternities. The national organizations exist to oversee the frats, and they are not chartered by the University. Let the nationals do their jobs. The national organizations are often the ones who punish their chapters most harshly, and if the frats can keep their national officials happy, they are likely not disregarding many University regulations. While the new Annual Review process should not apply to frats, selective houses must necessarily fall under the jurisdiction of the University. Without national supervision, selective houses lack oversight and inherent community involvement requirements. However, the new Annual Review process should take into account the fact that different selective groups have different strengths, and should be acknowledged for the unique contributions they make to life at Duke. Also, the new system should reward improvement ancl consistent excellence, rather than simply promoting the status quo and punishing those who do not complete one or two categories. The proposal to grant monetary rewards to successful groups is a step in the right direction. However, the committee should also consider giving the top housing picks to groups who do well in the review process over time. It is the University’s right to expect groups with guaranteed housing privileges to prove that they make significant contributions to life at Duke. However, fraternities’ national officials already take care of such oversight. Annual Review, if adjusted properly, can serve as positive reinforcement plan for non-affiliated selective houses as well.

Antipathy at the hedgerow

the summer after my freshman year I took a landscaping job at Martin O’Boyle Landscaping in Bloomfield, NJ. It was a good job and a difficult one. Everyday I’d wake up and then go down to the lot where all of the trucks and equipment were kept. At about 8:30, after punching our time cards in the office and loading our trucks up with trimmers, rakes, garbage barrels, blowers and shovels, all of the crews would leave for their first job sites of the day.

Matt Stevenson There were three others guys in my crew, all of whom were Brazilian. Our crew chief, a black man in his early thirties named Robby, was the only other one who spoke English. He had lived in America for about 10 years, and spoke so flawlessly that it took me a few days to realize that he had not been born here. He was energetic and skillful at his work, and personable and polite with the clients, most of whom knew him by name. When he told me that he had learned English and become the head of a work crew within a few months of coming to America and going to work for O’Boyle, I didn’t doubt it. Robby was always avidly conversational with me. He told me about growing up with his numerous siblings near Sao Paolo. He told me about meeting his wife in Brazil and bringing her to America to make a better life. He gushed with pride when he told me about their seven-yearold son, Robby Jr., and how he was going to be a football star at Bloomfield High School. Robby told me how much he had grown to like American football since moving to the states. I told him that I had played at Glen Ridge High School in the neighboring town, and that it was a great game. I never knew what to say when he asked me about Duke, though. He told me that he hoped his son could go to college. He thought that it was a great thing that I was getting an education, learning about myself and about the world, about how I might improve both. I didn’t know how to explain to him that after a year there, I no longer felt that way. That the things I was learning there weren’t making me better for myself or for the world. I thought about phrasing my problem with Duke in terms of racial or economic injustice—terms that Robby might understand. But I knew that that would-

n’t have been correct; it wouldn’t have been nearly complete. So I merely said that I didn’t like the school very much, and left it at that. On one of the last days of the summer, one of the other two members of our crew, Sylvio, accidentally broke a limb off of a tomato plant in a man’s vegetable garden as he tried to clean up the hedge trimmings that had fallen around it. The owner of the plant came outside and yelled at Sylvio —he ordered him to fix it, and called him an idiot. Robby, seeing that Sylvio didn’t understand, came over and tried to placate the owner—apologizing profusely, trying to fix the broken limb, offering to bring out a new plant from the greenhouse. The man wouldn’t hear it, and continued his tantrum while Robby knelt by the tomato plant. “Excuse me,” I said, stepping in, “Is there a problem here?” He was surprised at my tone and replied “Yeah, he broke my plant,” pointing at Sylvio and then at the plant. Then, as ifrealizing himself, he asked “Who the hell are you?” I replied that Sylvio didn’t speak English very well, and that he should talk to me if he had a problem with him. He began ranting again about the broken plant, about Sylvio being an idiot. I interrupted: “It was an accident. It’s a hard job, and accidents happen. If you want, we can try to come back with a new plant for you. But don’t stand here and try to make my friend feel small.” He responded by telling me not to give him “that ‘hard job’ ,” and that he knew my boss Marty bull and would be calling him about me. I gave him my name. Then we finished cleaning up and headed back to the yard for the end of the day. On the ride back, Robby and the others were jovial, even celebratory. “Don’t mess with Matt,” Robby joked, slapping my back. But I felt sad. Aside from being worried about getting fired, I felt that there was something more that I should have said. Something about the little bourgeois fortune that the man had slapped together for himself. Something about his readiness to take a man’s dignity because his skin was a few shades darker, he did not speak English and his worth as a person was a few notches below his own on the ladder in his mind. Marty was on the telephone when Robby and I went down to the office to clock out. “He’s a good kid,” we heard him say. “He used to be an athlete. I mean, he goes to Duke for Christ’s sake.” Matt Stevenson is a Trinity senior. His column appears every third Friday.

What lies between the hookup and the marriage? Dating

at Duke” can be filed away with “kegs on the quad” and “an F in Intro to Jazz.” In other words, it just doesn’t happen.

Whitney Beckett Instead, in the extreme bipolar work-hard-play-hard fashion that Duke students are famous for (but which, in truth, ended with the Class of 1997), relationships at Duke fall into two extreme categories. On the far right, we have the Pat Buchanan of relationships; The Marriage. And on the far left, we have the Tree-(i.e. People)-huggers: The Hookup. The reason? The Good Fraternity Theory. A guy in a decent fraternity can expect to get girls (often freshmen who have yet to realize that there are those who slip through the fratty cracks and whose best friend in high school had trig function buttons) who consider hooking up with a Delta Sig —just an example, not picking on you—resume-worthy. Triple that when date functions begin to loom around the corner. Because of that, all they have to do is contribute their slush money when they throw a party and then wait for their prey. two very good friends sat at Saladelia enjoying an early brunch last Saturday, discussing the very topic. Dan and Sidney did this sometimes, with him giving her guy advice and her giving him girl advice—even though Dan was more intoned with the feminine than the average guy and Sidney more intoned with the masculine (hookup-wise anyway; she certainly did not enjoy sports or dirt) than the average girl. Dan was explaining that he would be going through a hooking up drought for a while, because he wanted to avoid all possible roads leading to a Marriage, which, of course, warps otherwise fun people into reclusive 50-year-old couples. That is perhaps the most mysterious part of the whole thing; because there is no dating at Duke, The Hookup leads to The Marriage, be dammed those who say the boy won’t buy the cow. Even if he won’t technically purchase

his milk-provider with real money, he will put it on Flex. In the real world, there is an expectation that after the third date, you might get a hookup. At Duke, there is the expectation that after the third hookup, you might get a date. Either that or you get the talk that there will be no date. Quite awkward. One ofDan’s fraternity brothers seemed to be avoiding this situation with a girl he had hooked up with twice at the beginning of the semester. The question hung in the air without being spoken of like the kid publicly urinating around the corner. Hooking up so regularly so soon screamed that Marriage could be the consequence, and so despite the fact that Greg eyestalked said girl at parties, he was avoiding the third hookup like the plague. But back to brunch. “So why don’t you take them on a date then?” Sidney asked. “Wine them, dine them, and well,” she cocked her eyebrow; Dan was an English major who could follow a simple rhyme. ‘Then it’s like the real world, outside of the Duke box, and maybe you could just date them.” Dan looked at her as though she suggested they go to the library. “Are you kidding? I take them on a date and they start looking for a ring in their dessert.” Then an idea hit Sidney. Maybe she and Dan could revolutionize dating. He could start the trend, then maybe encourage one of his fraternity brothers to take her out, and they could get the ball rolling. Brilliant! This time he looked at her as though she suggested they tent. “It would never work—people would hate me,” Dan bemused. “Now all a guy in a decent fraternity has to do to hookup on a Saturday night is to sit on the couch long enough at a party. It’s slow going at first, but eventually a girl will plop herself down besides him, they’ll sit there drinking, he’ll make ajoke, she’ll laugh, there eyes will meet, sparks will fly, and the mission is accomplished. And you want me to tell this guy to call a girl, spend $lOO dollars on dinnerand hope for a goodnight kiss?” Between these The Hookup and The Marriage lies normality. Calls, dinner invitations, the occasional movie—all of which apparendy was not included in Curriculum 2000. Sidney liked to call her repeated hookups “talking,”

which she thought was fair because they usually did involve a phone call or two. And if they involved a date function or a morning-after brunch, she liked to call them “dating.” It made her feel better. That said, she dated or talked to about a dozen people her sophomore year before she experienced the other Duke relationship —the Marriage. After about a month of regularly hooking up with Michael, he began to call Sidney his girlfriend. This was the second time she had donned this title while at college, but the first time she accepted it (the first lasted about two months before she discovered that one of the things she and Albert had in common was dating

Kappa Sigs).

The first month or so of being Michael’s “girlfriend” was much like dating in the real world. He took her to dinners (usually Cracker Barrel and Waffle House, though, which Sidney was not sure she defined as dinner) and they would occasionally go out to bars together. Almost like normal. But that phase cannot persist long at Duke, and they were quickly catapulted into Marriage. They saw each other constantly, Sidney almost entirely ceased wearing makeup around Michael (which, trust me, is huge), and Michael introduced Sidney to a range of bodily noises she never even knew (or, trust me again, wanted to know) existed. And all the hooking up that they had gotten out of the way that first month almost seemed to evaporate, as though they had depleted the well too soon. But they had nothing on Sophie and Peter. They had gone from two of the most fun, social people ever to Henry David Thoreaus. When other people went to Myrtle, they went on family vacations; instead of exchanging flasks and sweaters for holidays, they bought out Tiffany’s and Polo; when their friends went abroad, they attended the Duke in West Village program. When people bitch about their friends being in Marriages, this is why. Maybe it’s better than The Hookup, but how much is that saying?

Saddam’s Odious Inheritance Imagine

if a crook maxed out your credit cards without telling you. If you live in America, he wouldn’t be able to do too much damage. Like any civilized country, the United States refuses to honor debts that were incurred through theft or fraud, so you wouldn’t be stuck with the whole bill.

Zachary Klughaupt But in the Hobbesian jungle of international relations, the law is not nearly as civilized. To illustrate, imagine if a crook took over a country through undemocratic and illegitimate means, and then ran up the government debt while allowing the economy to stagnate. (Quit yapping, Republicans...l’m not talking about George W.). Since the people of this country never benefited from the borrowed cash, nor had any say in how it was spent, you would think it only fair that they not be forced to pay the money back. Think again. Under international law, all nations (through their taxpayers) are obligated to pay their sovereign debts, regardless of the odious past of a loan. It doesn’t matter if the taxpayers had no say in how the money was spent. It doesn’t even matter if the lenders knew that their credit would prop up a dictator and finance oppression. The creditors are entided to get their money back, and any country that defaults will suffer the fate of a financial pariah. Take Iraq, for example, who The

New York Times reports to owe $383 billion, thanks to three decades of misrule by dictator Saddam Hussein. That comes out to $16,000 per person in a nation where the average citizen makes $2,500 per year. This week the Iraqi Governing Council began to take control of the government’s day-to-day operations, and will ultimately be responsible for rebuilding the country. But before the Council can help Iraq recover—before it can rebuild schools and hospitals, or ensure security for its citizens—Saddam’s old creditors will inevitably call. Two Harvard economists, Michael Kremer and Seema Jayachandran, recently proposed a solution to this manifest injustice. If a government incurs debt without the consent of its people and without spending the money to benefit its citizens, the debt should be declared illegitimate and the international community should refuse to honor it. Then creditors would refuse to support the regime with loans lest they never see their money again. In an era where America is strikingly divided between Right and Left, the elimination of public debt is something that both conservatives and liberals can love. For the Left, it would remove a giant obstacle that keeps the poorest of the poor from improving their lives. And since debt nullification attacks a regime directly without impoverishing the people who live there, it is a welcome alternative to trade sanctions,. For Conservatives, eliminating odious debt would be a giant tax cut for the world, shrinking the size of dozens of illegitimate governments. With less credit going to corrupt regimes, more will be available to private enterprises,

who could invest to their hearts’ content wherever they choose.

For the 2003 team that opens its season this afternoon with a series of questions, more than ever, the success of this year’s squad will depend on these two critical late-season meets. Even if these unknowns pan out with a best-case-scenario result and Duke in fact fields its best team in a recent history, stiff competition is likely to await the Blue Devils. “We think we are going to have one of the better teams we have ever had,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “Leading the way will be Chris Williams.” However, the ability ofWilliams to lead the team remains one of the paramount questions as the Blue Devils start their season. Williams, the team’s top runner in 2002, was stricken with a relatively severe case of mononucleosis in the spring and has yet to fully recover from the lingering effects the virus had on his body. “He is a little behind right now, but we expect that he will be 100 percent by the end of the season when we really need him,” Ogilvie said optimistically. Still unable to do any running at a high

One year after finishing fourth in the ultra-competitive ACC and a best-ever 17th at the 2002 NCAA Championships, the women’s cross country team is looking for an even stronger showing in 2003. Last year’s squad was loaded with young talent—the top-five finishers at nationals were all freshmen—and this core group was expected to return one year older and one year stronger. However, the Blue Devil’s two fastest runners last year —All-American Caroline Bierbaum and USATF Junior Cross Country Individual champion Clara Horowitz—will not be competing for Duke this fall. Bierbaum, a New York native, transferred to Columbia University for her sophomore year, while Horowitz is redshirting this season. Despite the loss of these two superstars, the Blue Devils will still field one of their strongest squads ever. “We think any number of these girls could end up with All-America honors,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “It’s going to be quite a year.” Sophomores Sally Meyerhoff, Shannon Rowbury and Laura Stanleyfinished third, fourth and fifth, respectively, at nationals and appear to be healthy and ready to SEE W.

Young and restless, Duke ready for title run by

Matt Sullivan THE CHRONICLE

Calling last year’s women’s soccer team “streaky” doesn’t do the season justice. “Striking” might be a little better. But one way or another, the Blue Devils were nothing more than a talented .500 team. “We kind of had a defeatist attitude last season,” junior Casey McCluskey said. “When we won, we were almost surprised. And that was kind of good enough; we won one game so we kind oflet others slip.” But a 9-9-2 season with no NCAA Tournament appearance is a far, far cry from this year’s team. With all but two starters returning and another stellar freshman group incoming, Duke looks poised for its best campaign in nearly a decade. ‘We can win every game, and I think that’s a difference from last year,” said sophomore Carmen Bognanno. “We’re positive, and we know we can win, and we’re going to go win.” Nowhere was the newfound intensity more apparent than on the field of Koskinen Stadium Sunday night, when the Blue Devils stepped up from the borderline of prestige and into the national spotlight with a momentous win over No. 4 Texas. Head coach Robbie Church preaches consistent intensity, and Duke never lagged, trapping on defense and cramming the box with pressure on the offensive end. After having been tabbed to finish sixth in the preseason ACC poll, Sunday’s victory brought the team to its highest national rankings since Church took the reigns in 2001 —the Blue Devils are ranked eighth, tenth and twelfth in the three major national polls. But it’s also one of the youngest.teams at the top of the national rankings, as Duke returns only four juniors and three seniors, compared with eight each in the freshman and sophomore classes. But as the Texas win has already indicated, this team is too talented to not be cohesive. “I feel like all the people around me have been playing on this team forever,” said freshman Darby Kroyer, who had her first career goal Sunday. ‘The way we spend

I don’t think you’d be able to tell that we’re all a bunch ofyoung people.” And despite the fact that Church is already starting three members of what was the nation’s No. 8 freshman class, it’s the sophomores—who were also a top-10 incoming class—that bring much of the team’s firepower. Bognanno anchors the midfield, while classmate Carolyn Riggs has already established herself as one of the top scoring threats in the ACC. And even though she called the sophomores the strongest class on the team, it’s junior Casey McCluskey who leads the Blue Devils. Coming off a season in which she notched a team-high 10 goals and landed a first-team

all-ACC nod, she’s the emotional backbone and the strongest draw from opposing defenders. That opposition will be intense this year. A frontloaded schedule sees Duke take on No. 19 Nebraska, Kentucky and Richmond before an always-brutal ACC ledger—matches so hard “you have to peel yourself off the field at the end of the game,” senior Gwendolyn Oxenham said—that includes two games against national power North Carolina. And no matter how much is ahead, Duke has started off right, started off on a streak it hopes won’t so strikingly come to an end in this; the year to win. “I think our team knows we’re good,” Church said. “We just don’t want to peak in August.”

Scoring three goals in just two games in this her sophomore campaign, women’s soccer star Carolyn Riggs is off to the same hot start she had last year. But Riggs, head coach Robbie Church and indeed the entire women’s soccer team is expecdng a much different outcome than last season. “Carolyn kind ofhad a typical freshman year. She came out with all her speed, she’s so dangerous in getting behind people,” Church said. “She scored a lot of goals early, [but] kind of ran out of steam at the end of the year in October when people really started marking her tight.” Riggs has used the off-season, however, to make sure that does not happen again. “You can see her now,” Church went on to say. “She’s just gotten stronger, quicker, bigger.” As the season moves into full swing this weekend, Riggs, with a year of collegiate experience under her belt, will be counted on to maintain her stellar play through the season. The Indianapolis, Ind., product and reigning ACC Player of the Week is one of Duke’s most prolific offensive threats. She can use her speed and stellar foot skills to weave through opposing defenses and put a powerful and accurate shot on goal. An All-ACC freshman selection last season, Riggs netted nine goals, one behind team leader Casey McCluskey. Riggs, playing in all 20 of the team’s games and starting in 14 of those contests, took 50 shots, 32 of which went on goal. Now a sophomore, Riggs is trying to maintain her excellent early-season play and is also relishing the opportunity to take on more of a leadership role. “As a sophomore I think it’s a very unique position to be considered part of the leadership,” Riggs said. “At times I had some finishing last year, and definitely I love it. It’s a compliment. But I think more than anything I think it’s easier to lead great players. Whether or not I’m a leader, I think that we have great people stepping up every game, and it’s a different person every game.” A major differencebetween the hot start Riggs got off to

this season and last is attention she is seeing from opposing team’s defenses. At the start of her freshman campaign when Riggs went on a scoring tare, she was not the focus of opposing team’s defenses, but as the 2002 season progressed she got notice from coaches around the league. With the increased attention her offensive production tailed off, scoring just one goal in the teams final seven games. Now, Riggs has learned to cope with such defensive attention. In the team’s recent victory over then-N0.4 Texas, Riggs was marked every minute she was on the field. Despite the increased pressure, Riggs was able to penetrate the defense and deliver a perfect feed to freshman Darby Kroyer for the team’s first goal. Then, just 49 seconds into the second half—and just 49 seconds after the Longhorn’s coach surely reminded his players to mark Riggs—she again beat the defense and found the back of the net. “Last year I made the mistake of allowing other teams to make me play away from [my] strengths,” said Riggs. “I’ll admit, as a freshman I often caught myself being intimidated by some of the nation’s top defenders who had years more experience than I had. I was preoccupied with the size or the strength of the other team rather than focusing on my own abilities.” After receiving ACC Player of the Week accolades on Monday, Riggs is sure to see even more attention in the upcoming games. How she handles this defensive pressure played a large role in the team’s success in upcoming matches. Riggs likens her drop-off in production from a year ago to that of the team. As she is resigned to make the 2003 season complete personally, she expects the team to maintain the same high level of play that they have shown in the early going. “Last year we showed a lot of promise early in the season, but struggled after initial success to fulfill what we felt was our potential,” said Riggs. “This year I feel we aren’t going to be satisfied with a ranking or a few good results.” For Riggs and the entire women’s soccer team, the goal BOBBY RUSSELIVTHE CHRONICLE is to make this season anything but typical, sustaining a hot start through to the NCAA Tournament. has tallied three her Carolyn Riggs goals in team's first two contests.

Currently, five of the conference’s seven teams are ranked in the top-15, with Maryland and Wake Forest at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. The Blue Devils also have a revenge game on their schedule against William & Mary. Ivy Leaguers Harvard and Dartmouth, as well as Davidson, are the key non-conference opponents, making the Blue Devils’ regular season look mighty intimidating. Helping Cila and Adogwa in the midfield are returning sophomores Blake Camp, Danny Kramer and lan Carey. The assistance of freshman Chase Perfect and senior Justin Bodiya should allow Duke to possess the ball well against its best opponents. Undoubtedly, the Blue Devils will find themselves in several close calls this season.

The bookies probably like Duke field

hockey this year. Well, if betting on NCAA sports was legal, it is more than likely that Vegas would be high on Blue Devil hockey right now. And why not? At this point, 2003 has the early signs of a record-setting season for the Blue Devils. “We are all definitely excited for this season and we have been since February,” said junior back Grade Sorbello. “If we continue realizing our potential on the field, we will be a very hard team to beat.

Knowing how we can play and with the

confidence everyone has this season, I have no doubts that we have the ability to make the Final Four if we continue to work really hard.” In 2002, Duke finished the season ranked in the top ten nationally and made it to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament for only the second time in school history. Following that success was a spring exhibition season in which it defeated all its ACC opponents and perennial national powerhouse Old Dominion. In addition, the program recruited a freshmen class with top-notch talent for the fourth consecutive season. But most of all, the Blue Devils brought in a highly acclaimed coach—Beth Bozman—who has a sparkling resume and has been places like the ational championship game, where the team badly wants to go. Indeed, after the University tabbed the program as one with “national championship potential [fact check]” last year, this might be the season where Duke breaks its way into the top echelon of the field hockey world. The Blue Devils really do have reason to be excited and optimistic for the season, and that optimism and excitement really starts with their new coach. Bozman, who was hired away from Princeton after Duke

Suzanne Simpson is a stalwart on defense for theBlue Devils going into her junior season head coach Liz Tchou stepped down from the job last Feburary, brings a track record of success to Durham. In her 15 seasons with the Tigers, Bozman compiled a record of 188-73-8 (.720), including an 80-13-3 (.860) Ivy League mark. Her Tiger teams had a streak of finishing first in the Ivy League that stretched back to 1994. Bozman’s teams also did very well in the postseason. Under her, Princeton went to four Final Fours and two National

Championships. That track record and this past spring’s success has left the Duke players very excited about their new coach. “It’s a different coaching style, different motivation tactics,” Gogola said. “I think

they [the new coaching staff] correlate better with our team’s personality. I think they correlate well with our Duke personality. I think that it is run very professionally and very well...lt’s something new and so far we’ve gotten results.” While there has been much change in the coaching for the Blue Devils, the roster has remained pretty much intact In feet, Duke returns nine starters and 90% ofits scoring. Offensively, the combination of senior co-captain Kim Van Kirk, sophomore Katie Grant, the 2002 ACC rookie of the year, and junior Johanna Bischof accounted for roughly half of the team’s points last year. Complementing those three are junior Suzanne Simpson, a South Region Al-America in 2002, sophomore Kirsten Bostrom, ju-

goal after starting for much of her freshmen year, in which she posted a .681 save percentage. Cocaptain Gogola, a second team South Region All-American last year, and Sorbello will anchor the defense. Sorbello, All-ACC in 2002, will look to make an impact on the offensive end. “Right now, everyone on our team is really strong,” Gogola said, “Nothing is focused on one individual player. There is no one goto-go player. Everyone on our team is a go-toplayer. It makes other teams hard to defend us because there are 11 or 15 good players who can be on the team at one time.” Per usual, the ACC will be a very tough place to win games this year, as the five schools with field hockey programs are among the top teams nationally year in and year out. Since 1997, Duke has posted a 3-21 ACC record, and the conference isn’t getting any easier this year, according to Bozman. “Well the ACC is always the best conference in the country,” Bozman said. “Wake is pretty good. Maryland opened the UN again and they have some foreign players who are 23 years old, so they are going to be pretty strong.” And with all the optimism surrounding the team this year, perhaps the best piece of news for Duke fans is Bozman’s confidence against North Carolina. The Blue Devils have defeated UNC in the team’s last 5? meetings. Not that Bozman is worried, though. “That wasn’t the case when I coached at Princeton,” Bozman said. “We did okay against them. We did much better against them than they did against us. That’s the streak I’m taking in to that game.”

In last weekend’s tournament, freshman Nana Meriwether recorded a tournament team-high ofnine kills. ‘The past weekend was a great learning experience,” Dill said. “We can see what everyone can do and contribute to the team. We saw that if we can change a couple of things and the next time can turn into a win for us.” The Blue Devils are also putting a heavy emphasis on their defense, of which Dill is an intricate part. Dill— Duke’s equivalent of the Rock—has registered 904 kills, 71 block solos and 321 block assists in her career. In last weekend’s tournament, Dill overpowered each opponents’ most powerful hitters at least once and kept Duke close at its opponents’ heals. “She is a force for us, whether she is blocking or hitting,” a Nagel said of the top of her first recruiting class. “We’ll look for her leadership this year as well.” The Blue Devils will definitely need to stay on top of each aspect of their game in order to compete in this year’s tough conference. In tournament play last weekend, sophomore Valerie Rydberg ofWake Forest recorded back-to-back double doubles against Tennessee Tech and SMU—14 kills, 10 digs, and 13 kills and 18 digs respectively. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which held last year’s first place standing in the ACC with a 15-1 record, is off to a strong start again, sweeping its invitational last weekend 3-0. Returning player Molly Pyles was named tournament MVP after an impressive 38 kills for the tournament. These “nameless, faceless” opponents will undoubtedly be anything but powerless and Duke will have to be on top ofits game at all times. ‘The conference is really strong this year from top to bottom,” Nagel said. “We have to come out every night to compete. If we don’t come out to compete we won’t succeed in this league.” “Coach scheduled a really tough season for us so that we can compete against top teams,” Dill said. “This season is not only a stepping stone but we also have really high exJENNY MARRON/THE CHRONICLE pectations and we think we can reach them all.” And with that the 2003 volleyball season is on.

When the elite members of the WWF strap on those

spandex pants, you know they mean business. Well, spandex has the same effect on the Duke women’s volleyball

team. Last season, Duke finished with an 11-5 conference record (24-10 overall) and the ACC preseason poll had them finishing second in the conference, outdone only by GeorgiaTech. This year’s team has a better idea. ‘We’re challenging for the ACC Championship this year,” head coach Jolene Nagel said with a determined squint. “We’d love to go as deep into the NCAA tournament challenge for the championship.” Coach Nagel, the Blue Devils Vince McMahon of women’s volleyball, has led Duke to three 20-win seasons and three straight NCAA Tournament appearances for an outstanding record in the program she has been heading for just five years. This year, Nagel is fortunate enough to boast five returning starters but also has a threatening recruiting class to utilize in the face of a tough 2003 ACC conference. “Challenges are going to come to us every game,” senior captain Krista Dill said. We just need to take care of business on our side of the court. We look forward to challenges we’ll face this season.” The Blue Devils are putting their long-term goals on the sidelines for now and are focusing on more immediate details that need mending and attention. Coach Nagel has insisted on a win at least every five games and, within that game, a challenge to make it to five before the opponent. The team has also agreed to a “nameless, faceless opponent” policy. We’ve got to come to play our game and not theirs,” Nagel said. Duke will have to bring teams up to its level and not be brought down by weak playing. This includes staying on top of serve receive, where the team’s defense can set up an unbeatable offense if it is turned on.

The senior, who says he is currently at about 80percent, is aiming to make his return to competition at the pre-national meet Oct. 8. After having strong cross country seasons last fall and even better track seasons this past spring, Michael Hatch and Nick Schneider will likely occupy the number two and three spots in the Duke lineup come crunch time and be the top runners before Williams returns. Among the contenders to fill the rest of the lineup are junior lan Cronin and a pair of sophomores, Charles Salmen and Eric Am disen. Despite lacking experience at the collegiate level, two freshmen are also strong candidates to occupy the final two scoring positions for Duke this season. Alex Romero, the New Mexico state high school champion, is one of Duke’s best recruits in recent years and is likely to be a staple for the program for seasons to come. Joining Romero at the top of the freshman class is Keith Krieger, who has impressed the coaches in his first days on campus. “My goal every season is just to train hard and run smart races and there is not really anything else you can do, but I’d like to be in the top five and helping our team,” Romero said. Without even seeing the pair race, Ogilvie said they had excellent opportunities to be among the top five scorers. However, one major concern with relying on freshman is the tendency to wear themselves out. “A lot of times freshman bum out,” Williams said. ‘These guys have been training smart now. They were a little eager when they came in. I was a little worried about them, but I think everyone has gotten their heads in the right place.” In an effort to both conserve his top runners and give some of the younger athletes an opportunity to race,-coach Ogilvie has decided not to race his top-10 runner this afternoon at the Covered Bridge Open in Boone, N,C.. Many of the top runners will make their season debuts next weekend when the team races in Charlottesville, Va.. Minus Williams—who will still be training —Ogilvie will likely unveil his top lineup at the Great American Cross Country festival this year in Cary, N.C.. The race, taking place only miles from Duke’s campus, will be the team’s first opportunity to earn at-large points that could edge the Blue Devils into the NCAA National Tournament come late November. The Duke team will likely have a chance to run the course before the race which, according to Ogilvie, should put the squad in a position to finish well. After several additional meets, the team will come to the all-important ACC Championship meet in early November. “The ACC obviously is a focus for any Duke team and we plan on doing well there,” Ogilvie said. At ACC Championships, Duke will face stiff competition from N.C. State which arguably has one of the top teams in the country. Florida State will also bring a competitive team to the meet which this year, which takes place in Winston-Salem. Two weeks after the ACC meet, the Blue Devils will compete in the NCAA Southeast Regional meet which is likely to make or break their season. There, the Duke squad will once again have to face N.C. State, but the team will also have to contend with perennial power William & Mary. Unless Duke can outpace one of these two teams plus other competition and finish in the top two, the Blue Devils will have to rely on very tough at-large points to make the 31 team field at Nationals. Racking up these at-large points in the events leading up to the Regional meet could be a difficult task given all the questions. Despite these looming questions and the pressure the team will face at the critical ACC and NCAA Regional meets, coach Ogilvie and his runners remain optimistic about the season. “It is probably our best mix ever in terms of balance of experience and youth,” Ogilvie said.
