into a seat on the buses, junior Marissa McDaniel said. “Most of the time you were standing up if you weren’t crowding to get in,” she said. “This year, though, it’s been a pretty good ride.” Freshman Matt Manocherian said he has never had to wait amid a sea of students for a second bus as he’s watched one arrive, fill up with students and pull away.

“Early to bed, early to rise” seems to have replaced “Thank God it’s Friday” as students’ scheduling mantra, thanks to the newly adopted changes governing undergraduate and some graduate class times. The new schedule, which went into effect Monday, was created in order to optimize the use ofacademic resources and facilities and offer students more opportunities to take popular classes. At the end of its first week, administrators are happy with the new system, but many students remain nostalgic for the days of late classes and free Fridays. Early-morning classes and Friday class meetings, which many upperclassmen had avoided in years past, are more difficult to elude this year. The schedule change moved the first class period from 8 a.m. to 8:30 or 8:45 a.m., depending on the day, but it also compelled departments to schedule more classes during this block. Last year, less than 25 classes had at least one meeting during the first period, but this year the number exploded to 153, said University Registrar Bruce Cunningham. Three thousand of the

Like most educational institutions, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill requires its organizations to stricdy observe a nondiscrimination policy when recruiting members. Although this policy may not seem unusual, at UNC it has led a Christian fraternity to sue the University. Alpha lota Omega, a small Christian fraternity at UNC, declined to sign the University’s Nondiscrimination and Sexual Orientation Policy last September. The members argued that the policy went against the fraternity’s requirement that all members be Christian, and the University subsequently denied AIO official recognition for the 2005-2004 school year. Refusing to be denied access for a second academic year, two members, fraternity President Trevor Hamm and Carlon Myrick, a sophomore and AIO member, filed a lawsuit against UNC Wednesday. The members have called on the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a civil liberties group, and the Alliance Defense Fund, the largest American legal alliance defending religious liberties, to support their cause. In a formal complaint to the University, the plaintiffs argued that they “refused on First Amendment grounds to sign the University’s Policy on Nondiscrimination.” They said that allowing non-Christians to enter the fraternity would undermine the reason for its creation. Nancy Davis, associate vice chancellor for University relations, noted that having been denied recognition does not prevent the fraternity from remaining on campus. But organizations can only have access to certain benefits, such as school funding and the use ofschool facilities, if they have official recognition. Since AIO has not received this status, the plaintiffs said in their complaint that UNC is denying “express organizations” equal access to privileges provided by the University. UNC has continued to back its policy, which states, according to the complaint, “membership and participation in [an] organization must be open without regard to age, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation.” Davis also said there are 595 recognized organizations on campus and each one follows the nondiscrimination policy. Of these 595 organizations, 42 are religious groups, which are predominandy Christian, Davis said. In an Aug. 23 statement, the UNC SEE LAWSUIT ON PAGE 7

When the new class schedule that began this year was initially announced, administrators lauded it as a potential solution to the perennial problem of overcrowded buses and endless lunch lines.

Think out of the box or leave your iPod in It 9

Elizabeth Floyd THE CHRONICLE

Despite all the media attention, for Duke freshmen, the much-disputed iPod is just another piece of the roiling bustle of newness that is college. A quick run through the smattering of open doors on the secondfloor ofBlackwell Dormitory on a Wednesday night reveals a startling observation. Upperclassmen’s jealousy and pitched battles over the efficacy of Duke’s expenditures aside, some freshmen are beginning to put their new possessions to their intended purposes—and others aren’t using them at all. “Well, it’s out of the box,” freshman Teresa Rice joked. “But that’s about it” On the other hand, her roommate, Chrissy Devore, has used her iPod to record everything from Sunday’s a capella jam and Saturday’s Hoof ‘n’ Horn freshman cabaret to course lectures and Chapel Dean William

Willimon’s last series of sermons at Duke. She even managed to capture a little piece of President Richard Brodhead at the dessert reception he hosted Monday night. “Hi. This is Richard Brodhead saying hello to Chrissy Devore. You seem to be the most advanced user of the iPod in your entire class, so I’m full of admiration. Have a great time at Duke,” the president quipped with his characteristic joviality. For those who have applied their iPods to academic purposes, recording and schedule storage seem to have become the most useful features. “I might not use it that often without the recorder,” freshman Regina Liu confessed. Currently she uses her new iPod to record her lecture classes, citing good sound quality. The five pages of notes she may glean from a second listen supplement the notes she takes in class.

Government to check airline passengers by

Leslie Miller

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The government announced Thursday it is taking over the task of checking the names of airline passengers against terrorism watch lists, saying it can do a more comprehensive and secure job than carriers. The new system is intended to verify the identity of domestic travelers by amassing information that passengers have given airlines and comparing it with records in government databases. The goal is to better screen travelers by using a larger pool of suspected terrorists than airlines had access to. The government does not now provide airlines with complete terrorist lists for fear that such information could fall into the hands of U.S. foes, said David Stone, chief of the Transportation Security Administration. “We will have the database under the umbrella of the government so we can have enhanced security and not have the release

of the names into arenas where enemies can access them," Stone told reporters in a conference call. The new system, Secure Flight, is to begin testing in the next two months. It replaces a proposed screening operation derided by critics for failing to adequately ensure passengers’ privacy. But Rep. John Mica, chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee on aviation, said it will take a year to put Secure Flight in place after the testing. “I agree with the Sept. 11 commission there's been far too much delay,” said Mica, R-Fla. The government-run screening will not seek to identify anyone other than known or suspected terrorists. Nor will it assign a risk level to travelers. Civil libertarians complained that the earlier system would use information on passengers gleaned from commercial databases. The government said a very limited test of the new system will be done to see if comparing passenger information against such databases can help to more accurately verify people’s identity.

Thomas focuses on BSA membership Anti-drug programs called weak by

Emily Rotberg THE CHRONICLE

Black Student Alliance President Pascale Thomas loves calendars. And assignment books, and the many checklists that help keep her busy life at Duke in order. “If I did my laundry and it wasn’t on my to-do list, I’ll write it on the list just to cross it off,” she said. “I like to see that I’ve accomplished something in the day, so I’ll make up things that are easy to accomplish—like ‘shower.’” Right now, her list is full of bigger things: LSATS—done. Law school applications—not done. Her full schedule of classes for her psychology major—also not done. And her summer at home—definitely over. Thomas drove from her home in St. Louis, Mo., to represent BSA at the Beaufort Student Leadership Retreat before the start of the semester. “Since I’ve been back here, it’s been one thing after the other,” she said. She’s not complaining—her wide, camera-ready smile shows that—she’s just talking about her life. It’s that same warmth and approachability that many said they see in Thomas, which is fitting, since she was a cheerleader in high school. “When I met her she was very peppy,” said senior Brandy Canady, BSA executive vice president. “She’s very warm in general.” Canady and Thomas met as seniors in high school, in the airport on the way to Duke’s BSA Invitational. The event, one of BSA’s most prominent, brings students of color to campus in a major recruitment push. Three years later, their experience came full circle when they cochaired the weekend. Thomas cites her own BSAI experience as a central part of her decision to attend Duke. “I got to come in when the black students gathered together to protest The Chronicle’s publication of the David Horowitz ad,” she said referring to a controversial advertisement, published in 2001, that argued against slavery reparations. “I had always gone to predominantly white private schools, and I really was looking for a black community within a larger

community. I saw them unite and I said, ‘This is the place I could really have that.’” As a freshman and sophomore, Thomas observed upper BSA leadership from what she called a “backseat role” on the social committee. But BSA was never Thomas’s only commitment—for her first two years at Duke, this pre-lawyer was pre-med. “I was an advocate of being pre-med. All ofmy friends were like, ‘We don’t want to do this anymore,’ and I was like, ‘We have to, this is what we’re here for!’ I dropped out at the last minute,” she said. Then came her stint as a senator-atlarge in Duke Student Government last semester. “I liked meeting the people

School-based substance use prevention programs are a key tool in delivering antidrug messages to youngsters and adolescents. Although most of the current programs across the nation focus solely on prevention, they tend to lack effectiveness due to content and teachers’ inability to convey the urgency of the issue at hand. At a panel hosted by the Duke Transdisciplinary Prevention Research Center and the Center for Child and Family Policy, national and state-level practitioners and experts and University-based prevention researchers discussed possible approaches to strengthening the link between research and community needs in terms of substance use programming. Keynote speaker William Modzeleski, associate deputy undersecretary of the U.S. Department ofEducation, spoke of the importance of addressing the ineffectiveness in prevention programming in schools. “As times change, the products need to change, as well,” he said. Modzeleski noted that there are 53 million students and 3 million teachers in grade schools across the country. With such a large system, it is difficult for current drug programs to have an impact. As a result, the need for more effective programming becomes increasingly crucial. Modzeleski emphasized holistic strategies—not just the implementation of individual programs. Susan Alexander, executive director of the Transdisciplinary Prevention Research Center, and several of the other panelists said substance abuse programming should not only be a school issue, as it requires the effort of the entire community. “Teachers have enough responsibility with a regular curriculum and the value SEE ANTI-DRUG ON PAGE 11

Back at Duke, Carrington recalls campaigning By

Kate Stamell

THE CHRONICLE

In Paul Carrington’s office, there are no posters declaring “Carrington for N.C. State Senate” or reams of paper scattered across his desk listing names, counties and phone numbers ofDistrict 18 constituents. Instead the former dean of the Duke School of Law, now a part-time Duke law professor, is lounging comfortably amid his bookshelves lined with law volumes and his desk scattered with paper weights from his past. A seal from the University of Tokyo cast in silver and the insignias of just a couple of the 15 U.S. law schools in which he has taught are on display next to his father’s leather-bound paperweight imprinted with die U.S. Air Force wings on top. There is no indication that he ran and lost—in the July 20 Democratic primaries for District 18 of the North Carolina State Senate. At 73 years old, Carrington teaches parttime and works mostly from home. His answering machine leaves his home number and welcomes calls anytime. Last night, he made dinnerfor law students from his class. More than a month ago, he didn’t have time to relax and entertain. He was frantically making phone calls, posting yard signs and attending countless campaign strategy sessions. A law teacher since 1957, Carrington’s platform combined his vast legal experience with his passion for democracy. His platform centered on campaign finance, lobbying and voting reforms as well as assuring judicial independence. The primary race pitted Carrington against Bob Atwater, a retired University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill administrator and Chatham County Commissioner, and Tommy Griffin, an air conditioning mechanic at UNC. The three were vying for the chance to represent District 18, which covers Chatham County, Lee County and southwestern Durham County. “It was an adventure, it was fun and I’m glad I did it, but it’s no big deal,” says Carrington of his less than 3,000vote loss to Atwater. When asked about the campaign, Carrington talks on and on about his platform and has no regret. He gave it his best shot. Carrington filed his candidacy on the —

Former law school Dean Paul Carrington tried his hand at politics this summer, but lost in the primaries. last day possible, unsatisfied by the other two candidates running. He is particularly interested in reinforcing fairness in North Carolina government. “I was doing it because I was interested in issues of state law,” Carrington says. His main passion centers around improving the political and legal systems via campaign finance reform, a moratorium on the death penalty, allocating more money to the court system and lobbying regulations. “We’ve got a terrible lobbying law in North Carolina—it’s no good at all,” he says. “It requires lobbyists to register but then it doesn’t require them to explain what they do or make any kind of report that gives you any useful information; that was another issue that I thought that I might be able to do something about.” Carrington’s 12th-hour decision to enter the primary race proved to be

among the largest problems that plagued his campaign. He cites his lack of time to organize a campaign as one reason he did not win. “I got in it late,” Carrington says. “I wasn’t going to do this until the last day to file and then when nobody else filed in Durham, I said, ‘Well I’ll go ahead and do it’ So we were not well organized. And if I were doing it over again, there are certainly some things I would do differendy.” Running for public office again, however, is not on Carrington’s agenda. Carrington does not speak fondly of Atwater as an opponent that lived up to his legal issues. “Between us, there was very little attraction,” he says. “We had very few meetings in which we were both present and when we did, neither he nor the other guy who was running for the office would address any issue. His statement is, ‘l’m a nice guy and I’d like to

represent you in Raleigh.’” Atwater was also better-known in Chatham County, which had a huge voter turnout. “I don’t say this in a mean way: I don’t think [Atwater] had any particular issues that he was interested in,” Carrington says. “He’s a retired hospital administrator, and he’s a sweet fellow, and he was [as] County Commissioner, and he wanted to do something else, so he thought that he’d run for state Senate. He had a lot better name recognition, particularly in the rural counties, than I did. He proved to be a formidable adversary, but I think it’s fair to say he doesn’t have any issues.” Despite his disappointing loss, he is happy that he ran this summer. Not only was he interested in the position because of his passion for the legal based issues, but Carrington also wanted to show Duke students that professors can teach academics and put their knowledge into practice. “Part of my reason in doing it is that I would like Duke law students to think that it’s an okay thing to do, to run for office like that,” he says. “It’s no hardship, no terrible thing. So that was kind of a remote agenda.” Katharine Bartlett, dean of the School of Law, not only okayed Carrington’s choice to pursue running for a seat in the state Senate, but she encourages any law professor to pursue public positions that apply their academic knowledge to politics.

“I certainly encouraged [Carrington] to run; he had a lot of great ideas on issues that were important to the state Senate, such as judicial selection. We encourage the entire law faculty to be involved in the

application of their ideas in the real world,” Bartlett says, noting that other fac-

ulty, such as Walter Dellinger, a Duke law professor and former acting Solicitor General for the Supreme Court, have been involved in public service. “We always are looking for ways to encourage our students to become involved in real-life activities,” Bardett says. “So it’s good to have a faculty that is carrying out its public spiritedness in different ways.” Democratic candidate Bob Atwater will face Republican Christine Mumma and Libertarian Jon Guze in the November election. The Democrats are likely to win, given history and voter registration numbers.

Down Under GA receives facelift by

Erica Smolow

THE CHRONICLE

The GA Down Under is getting done over. The Gilbert-Addoms Down Under, a space used by students throughout the year, is receiving a general renovation that will include new air conditioner units and wall and ceiling finishes. Students and administrators are already looking forward to the refurbished space, which should be ready by mid-September. Eddie Hull, executive director of housing services and dean of residence life, noted that the renovations to the Down Under are an exciting and much-needed change. “What we had was the lack of anything that could be called a destination on East Campus,” Hull said. “Updating the Down Under is just one step in creating such a necessary location.” As part of the renovations, a new servery will allow vendors to cater formal and informal functions on a scheduled basis. In addition, a portable stage and sound system will house various types of performances, and new rooms will accommodate student groups’ growing need for meeting space. Project Build is one of the groups that has used the Down Under regularly. Each August, over 100 students flood the Down Under for a week of pre-orientation service projects. This summer, as a result of the renovation, Project Build relocated to Southgate Dormitory’s gym. But senior Clayton Eiswirth, a member of the Build administrative team, said space was tight and members lacked the usual amenities offered in GA Down Under. “Build has unique needs. We need air conditioning, bathrooms to accommodate over 100 people, carpeting since we sleep on the floor and we like it to be on East Campus so that freshman can get oriented. The Down Under is the only place that fits this description,” Eiswirth said. Circle K is another student-run organization that uses the Down Under on a regular basis. Circle K President

Although the $3 millionrenovation plans are stalled, the Gilbert-AddomsDown Under is undergoing a temporary fix. Alec Macaulay explained that the Down Under best serves his group’s needs as well. “The Down Under is a really good meeting space because it is the perfect size—its smaller than Baldwin and more usable than just the typical commons room,” said Macaulay, a sophomore. He emphasized that especially at the beginning of the year, when it is important for all student organizations to reach out to the new freshman class, the Down Under is prime real estate. But he also agreed that renovations will be a welcome change. Hull explained that while full renovation plans were stalled due to a $3 million price tag, this is an “intermediate term renovation” of the space. He will be able to test what will ultimately work best and is hopeful that this change will still have a significant impact. “We really hope it will provide students, especially those on East Campus, the sense that East Campus is a place where things happen as well,” Hull said.

LAWSUIT from page 1 Campus Ministers’ Association announced its support of the University policy. We encourage the University to continue to protect the right ofall students to participate in organizations of their choosing,” the group said. At a press conference held at UNC Aug. 25, the fraternity members and their lawyers, as well as UNC Chancellor James Moeser, once again clarified their positions. “We are a public institution, and we cannot discriminate. That’s the law,” Moeser said in the Aug. 25 statement, obtained from UNC archives. “We think our position strikes the right balance between First Amendment rights to freedom of association and the rights afforded by the FourteenthAmendment and the North Carolina Constitution to freedom from discrimination.” Bill Marshall, an expert on constitutional law at the UNC School of Law, also supported the UNC decision. “There is nothing that the University is doing that forbids the fraternity from believing what it wants to believe,” Marshall said. The University was given 20 days to respond when the case was opened Wednesday. “We’re hoping that the federal judge will see the unconstitutionality of this policy and strike it down,” said Joshua Carden, the litigation staff council at ADR The AIO members were unavailable for comment Thursday. ‘The student body at large is informed about what is going on, but I think it’s a much bigger issues for the lawyers and the University than for the students,” said Matt Calabria, UNC’s student body president. At Duke, University organizations are also required to follow a nondiscrimination policy. According to Duke’s Office of Institutional Equity, “Duke University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation or preference, gender, or age in... any... university program or activity.” lc

Not everyone has found their iPods so useful in academic pursuits. Freshman Marc Champaloux conceded that the audio quality was “alright,” but that, of the lectures he had recorded so far, page rustlings and coughing had taken precedence over course material. “It depends on how loud your professors speak—and how loud everyone else talks,” he concluded. A few doors down, Shivam Joshi indicated that none ofhis classes thusfar had been “the sort of lectures you need to record,” though he expressed certainty that he would, at some point, put his iPod to recording use. With the mayhem of the first week of classes feeling somewhat overwhelming and only six courses officially involving the use of the new technology, iPods, for many, have blended quickly into the background. “A lot of my residents haven’t even taken them out of the box,” said junior Jennifer Williams, a second-floor residential advisor. The most common use of the little white rectangles is, of course, downloading music, but even in this popular pursuit, actuality seems to have side-stepped Duke’s intentions for the program.

Moreover, freshmen in Blackwell said iTunes can be confusing and expensive for many in pursuit of downloads, Duke-sanctioned or otherwise. Although Duke’s iPods have not been on campus long enough for these dorm residents to pass any concrete judgments on the successes or failures of the program, the devices have nonetheless managed to impact the traditional social scene in small, but reverberating manners. The clamor of upperclassman envy has left many freshmen hearing things—and perhaps feeling just a little more singled out when clutching their slim white boxes. “I don’t carry my iPod around East much, because I know people here, and I want to talk to them,” Devore said. “But I feel like whenever I’m walking around West with it out... I’m wearing a big target on my back.” The new technology has even encroached upon those sacred few weeks at the beginning of all freshman years, when introducing yourself to a stranger is a litde less daunting. “I was thinking about taking my iPod this morning on the bus but didn’t, because I realized that I wouldn’t meet anyone,” Joshi said. “Then I didn’t meet anyone anyways, because everyone else brought theirs.”

“Buses’ve been very mobbed. They’ve been very crowded,” he said. “But everybody just tries to make it so that everyone can fit in as best as they can.” At peak times in the midaftemoon, however, sophomore Joanna Noble said she had to wait for the third bus to come before she could edge her way in. “And I really had to push,” she said. Regular riders told the familiar tales of students crowding into the aisles, standing in the back stairways and hanging onto the poles in the front, and several bus drivers said they have not noticed more room on the buses. Denis Arnold, who drives an East-West bus from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m., said his bus transports about 1,600 people each day. Last year his buses moved about 600 people on a standard day, he said. During the time between classes, Arnold said the buses are being packed

with as many as 80 students each trip. Cathy Reeve, director of parking and transportation services, said this summer that die department would make no major changes to the bus schedule to adjust to the new class times. Nine buses run continuously among East, West and Central Campus each day. Even though the buses have still been packed with students, the food outlets have been a little less crowded. Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, said schedules of food service employees had been adjusted to ensure sufficient staffing during the between-class pockets when students rush to grab lunch before afternoon classes. Lines at many campus eateries—particularly noontime hot spots like Subway, McDonald’s and Alpine Bagels and Brews have been shorter, students said. ‘You almost couldn’t go to Subway before if you only had 20 minutes between classes,” junior Katie Greene said. “Now it’s a lot more manageable.” —

NAJAF from page 2 Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, a staunch supporter of the U.S.-led war to topple Saddam Hussein’s regime, condemned the reported slaying and repeated his statement of Tuesday that Italy’s 3,000 soldiers would not abandon the U.S.-led coalition and Iraq's government. Fighting eased in Najaf after al-Sistani arrived, and the U.S. military and the Iraqi government called a 24hour ceasefire. The acceptance by the young, firebrand preacher alSadr—whose militia has been battling U.S. and Iraqi forces since Aug. s—didn’t necessarily mean an end to the crisis. He has agreed to peace proposals before, and they have quickly fallen apart. But State Minister Qassim Dawoud, announcing the administration's acceptance, was optimistic. “Brothers, we have entered the door to peace,” he said. He added that

who could make changes—and I believe that DSG has that potential, under effective leadership,” she said. Thomas’ own idea of what makes an effective leader originates closer to home. “My mom is the ultimate leader,” she said. “It’s not like she’ll solve all my problems, but she’ll show me how to solve all my own.” Thomas said her mother is also a great compromiser, especially when it came to her daughter’s name. “She wanted to name me Allison and my Dad wanted to name me Suraya—he thought it was a pretty name. My mom saw it was in one of his medical textbooks for some kind of disease, and she said, ‘Not my daughter.’” When the baby girl was born on Easter, her parents chose the French Pascale. She’s come a long way since almost being named for a skin disease. Now the senior is working on applying to law

the government would not try to arrest al-Sadr, who is sought in the slaying of a rival cleric last year. The five-point plan calls for Najaf and Kufa to be declared weapons-free cities, for all foreign forces to withdraw from Najaf, for police to be in charge of security, for the government to compensate those harmed by the fighting, and for a census to be taken to prepare for elections expected in the country by January. There was no immediate word if the U.S. military would accept the provisions on the agreement calling on its forces to leave Najaf. In Washington, a senior Bush administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said only: “We’ve seen the developments. We're watching them very closely.” Dawoud said U.S. and coalition forces would pull out of Najaf as soon as interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi ordered them to. Al-Sistani aide Hamed al-Khafaf announced al-Sadr’s acceptance and suggested fighters frorti his Mahdi Army mili-

schools at Columbia University and Harvard University. Until then, she’s fulfilling the next step in her continued involvement with BSA. “As it stands right now, BSA hasn’t had a lot of visibility on campus. It’s an organization that I think everyone knows about, but people aren’t really aware of what the organization does,” she said. “But it can serve as kind of a channel for BSA members to get into other programs and other organizations on campus. This year we’re going to promote our membership—and black students in general—to go try out for these organizations and gain leadership positions.” Somewhere in there Thomas has pledged to find time for herself—most likely in the gym. “The gym isn’t a hobby, it’s an obligation,” she said. “I make it a point to just run or do something that makes me feel like I’ve done something for myself at the end of the day.” And, anyway, the gym is something else to check off of that to-do list.

tia would leave the Imam All Shrine, the holy site they have used as a stronghold and refuge throughout the fighting. ‘There will be a mechanism that will preserve the dignity of everyone in getting out of the holy shrine, and you’ll see this in the coming hours,” al-Khafaf told AlJazeera television. The shrine, in Najafs Old City, has been the center of fighting, but U.S. troops have tried to avoid damaging it, fearing it would anger Shiites. After the cease-fire was called, one platoon of U.S. soldiers was holed up in a multistoried office-building, poking weapons out of broken windows and scanning devastated streets for any signs of militants. A handful took advantage of the quiet to sleep—a relative luxury after days offierce clashes, according to Associated Press photographer Jim MacMillan, who is embedded with the soldiers. Al-Sistani's immense moral authority brings more hope for the new peace plan than previous ones.

ANTI-DRUG from page 3 placed on test scores. They should not have to be the only ones responsible for drug and alcohol education,” Alexander said. The issues need to be reffamed and new training to teachers may be necessary.” Another topic covered at the panel was that government legislation calls for the funding ofprograms that are “scientifically-based.” Research conducted through experimental methods and rigorous data analyses should provide evidence that the program to be used will reduce violence and illegal drug use. Those who do the research and those who use the research have difficulty communicating,” said Jeffrey Valentine, adjunct assistant professor in the Duke Department of Psychology and research scientist in the Program in Education. '

‘They don’t connect often enough.” Researchers do not always know exactly what the practitioners need, so they cannot design strong adolescent programming that is practical to implement, Valentine said. In addition, the practitioners are not always updated on the latest research findings. If the results are written in the manner of traditional scientific research, the program coordinators may have difficulty understanding them. Senior Paul Novick, a member of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, said the biggest problem with current drug policy is that many people do not recognize the difference between prevention and education. “In the U.S., programs are fear-based. We tellkids ‘don’t do it’ or ‘it will kill you,’ but we never honestly explain the effects or consequences of the drugs,” Novick said. Teenagers are curious. We need a more balanced education.”

WOMEN'S SOCCER

Blue Devils brace for tough opening weekend by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

The No. 18 Duke women’s soccer team has made a habit of starting its sea-

sons with difficult matchups, and for the third year in a row it looks to knock off a top-20 ranked team on the opening weekend of action. “The first weekend we’ve always tried to play a quality out-of-conference opponent, which will give us a quick look at where we are,” head coach Robbie Church said. The Blue Devils are making the long bus journey to Knoxville to take on the 11thranked Tennessee Volunteers Friday night and will return to Durham for a Sunday night contest with Elon. “We’re really kind of setting the table,” Church said. “We have two quality opponents.... It will really let us know where we are physically and where we are mentally.” The showdown with the Lady Volunteers poses some intriguing matchups as two of the nation’s best midfields square off. Church has been raving about Duke’s depth at that position with captain Casey McCluskey, juniors Carmen Bognanno and Shelly Marshall, sophomores Darby Kroyer, Lauren Tippets, and Rebecca Moros and top-25 freshman Lorraine Quinn, all ready to contribute significant minutes. “One of their strengths is one of our strengths—their midfielders,” Church said. “They’ve got two very good midfielders. That’s the engine of their team.... That’s the key, who wins that midfield battle.”

Church described Tennessee as a very aggressive, swarming team that puts a lot of pressure on the ball. Maintaining composure and keeping possession will be the key to a potential Blue Devil victory. “We’ve played them twice since I’ve been here,” McCluskey said. “They are a very hardworking team. I wouldn’t say necessarily scrappy, but they’re all athletic and they work really hard. It’s going to be a battle.” If Duke can prevent Tennessee from “[creating] a lot of offense through the defense,” as Church suggested they like to do, then the team will likely be able to capture its third consecutive win against the Lady Volunteers. The last two came on penalty kicks and in overtime, respectively. Whether they start the season with a victory or not, getting ready for Sunday’s home opener against Elon will not be easy. Because of travel arrangements, the Blue Devils will not return home until Saturday afternoon, when they hope to hold a brief practice. Elon begins the 2004 season under new coach Matt Clark, so the Blue Devils do not have a firm grasp on what to expect from their in-state opponent. Although the Phoenix were defeated easily in the preseason by Wake Forest, the long trip to Tennessee could take the energy out of the Duke players and make the contest closer than it should be. “It’s a tough weekend because we play SEE SOCCER ON PAGE 17

Earlier this week the m voted Giu e pi ei Phillip Aguanno, exan Dapolito, Ben Patrick and Kenneth Stanford captains for the upcoming season, which kicks off at Navy next Saturday afternoon. “I think for any athlete for the team to respect them and vote them as a captain is probably the greatest honor,” said Dapolito, who enters the season as the .

Duke opens its 2004 season against the Cardinals in the first round of the Champions Challenge this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. The four-team tournament is in East Lansing, Mich., and Delaware and host Michigan State will play later in the afternoon.

Of the captains, tight end Patrick is the lone non-senior, but Roof said his selection is not a surprise. “I think he pushes himself through his workouts,” Roof said. “Not just himself, but when other people are dragging, he encourages them. That’s leadership.” Patrick, however, feels comfortable in his unusual role and thinks that his election to captain will help motivate some of the underclassmen. “I have to step up,” Patrick said. “I think for the younger guys, it’s an uplifting thing.” Aguanno, Alexander and Stanford rep-

Bulls down Knights with sac fly in extra innings Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

As he has done several times this season, Matt Diaz carried the Durham Bulls (71-61) on his shoulders. The International League MVP front-runner was 3-for-4 with three doubles last night against the Charlotte Knights (64-66). The final double moved Durham second baseman Brooks Badeaux to third base with DURHAM nobody out in the 10th inning. Two batters lat1 CHARLOTTE ter, Jared Sandberg hit a deep sacrifice fly to center field, and Badeaux trotted home to secure the Bulls’ dramatic 2-1 extra-inning victory. “[Diaz] is going to finish it up strong, the way it should be,” Durham coach Bill Evers said. “Everybody should try to finish up strong, and that’s how people remember.” The win tightens the Bulls’ grip on the league’s wild card spot, thanks to Scranton-WB’s 7-5 loss to the Ottawa Lynx. The game commenced with a rocky start for the Bulls. Starter Doug Waechter could not locate either his fastball or breaking ball, and was forced to pitch out of jams in the first two innings. In the top of the first, he walked the bases loaded, and escaped via a strikeout of Charlotte DH Morgan Burkhart. In the following frame, Waechter allowed runners to reach second and third before second baseman Bryant Nelson to Hied out to center. After Waechter regained control of his fastball and settled down, he went on to pitch three additional scoreless innings. “[Waecther] battled through five, was really out of sync early in the first inning, but he got through five innings without giving up a run,” Evers said.

“He got his work in and gave us an opportunity.” The bullpen kept the game close and held the Knights scoreless through the seventh inning. The Durham pitchers had little room for error, as Charlotte starter Tetsu Yofu was in complete control of the Bulls’ lineup. The Japanese right hander threw off the timing of the Durham batters with a devastating mix of fastballs, changeups and curveballs. Yofu, who had no-hit the Bulls back on Aug. 1, escaped an impressive jam in the top of was the seventh. After putting runners on first and third with nobody out, he struck out back-to-back batters with off speed pitches, and then got left fielder Johnny Gomes to hit a lazy fly ball to center field. “[Yofu] had a really sneaky fastball, and a good curve,” Sandberg said. “It was enough to keep us off balance.” The Bulls were the first team to yield a run. In the top of the eighth, Charlotte cleanup hitter Reggie Taylor broke the stalemate when he sent the second pitch he saw from righty reliever Jeremy Gonzalez into the right field bleachers. Durham responded quickly in the bottom halfof the inning. With runners on first and second, Matt Diaz stroked a two-out double into left field. Charles Gipson scored from second, but trail runner Joey Gathright was held at third base and the Bulls stranded the go-ahead run on third. The Bulls had another scoring opportunity in the bottom of the ninth after Gomes and backup catcher Paul Hoover reached base with infield singles. The threat was quickly neutralized, however, when shortstop Luis Ordaz stuck out and Gathright grounded out to pitcher to end the inning. Frank Nunez earned the victory for the Bulls. Nunez pitched a scoreless 10th, where he struck out two batters thanks to a blazing fastball that reached into the mid 90s.

ATHENS, Greece An hour after the game, Mia Hamm was still on the field, hugging, crying and posing for pictures with an Olympic gold medal around her neck. Then, finally, she left. After 17 years, 153 goals and 266 games—including a grueling overtime finale—it was time for her to go. ‘There are few times in your life where you get to write the final chapter the way you want to,” Hamm said. “I think a lot of us did that tonight.” Hamm and the rest of the Fab Five had just enough left in their thirtysomething bodies for one more triumph in their final

together. Led by two goals from the next generation, the United States beat Brazil 2-1 Thursday to claim the Olympic tide. Abby Wambach, the player who might break Hamm’s records one day, scored the game-winning goal in the 112th minute with a powerful 10-yard header off a corner kick from Kristine Lilly. It was Wambach’s fourth goal of the Athens Games and 18th in her last 20 games. The game marked the final competidve appearance together for the remaining players from the first World Cup championship team in 1991. The five helped bring their sport to national prominence and captured the country’s imagination by winning the World Cup in 1999, and together they have played in 1,230international matches.

“I talked about feeling good about where I was in my life, and this is a great way to end it,” Hamm said. The retiring players left happy with the final result, but they might never want to watch a replay of a game that showed it was perhaps time for them to hang it up. The Americans were slower, less organized, less creative and lost the chase to most of the loose balls against the young Brazilians, who weren’t afraid to shove the U.S. stars around.

“I think today, Brazil was the better team,” coach Rene Simoes said. “We deserved to win.” What Brazil lacked, though, was the passion of a group of players determined to give their heroes a proper send-off. “We were bending, but we weren’t breaking,” goalkeeper Briana Scurry said. They were throwing the kitchen sink at us, but I knew we had the heart to win it.” Hamm was a nonfactor throughout the game, unable to find space to make

the kind of runs that made her famous, Hamm’s post-game speech in the locker room was a great big ‘Thank you” to her teammates,

They carried me tonight, that’s for sure,” the 32-year-old Hamm said. The U.S. team was rescued by Wambach, some great saves from Scurry and a stunning 39th-minute goal from Lindsay Tarpley, whose 24-yard drive skirted two defenders and curled just inside the left post.

ATHENS, Greece Shed no tears for Rulon Gardner. Yes, that really was Gardner, the only man brave enough to not just stand up to the invincible Alexander Karelin but to beat him, nearly bawling like a baby as he left his wresding shoes at center mat in the Olympics. The medal around his neck? Maybe it was only bronze, the color given as a consolation prize, rather than gold, the color given to champions. To Gardner, it seemed to matter not at all. Unlike in Sydney, when only perfection was good enough to beat Karelin and perfection was his, Gardner was slightly flawed in Athens during his second and last Olympics. A slight misstep cost him like no mistake on the mat ever did before, and he paid by winning the color of medal that real winners no doubt dread winning. But if he felt disappointment at not being able to accomplish for the second time in four years what for even supreme athletes would be a once-in-a-lifetime feat, he never showed it. “I came back and won a medal. Even though it’s bronze, I have no regrets because I gave 100 percent in every match,” Gardner said Wednesday. “I didn’t leave anything on the mat.” Except his shoes, of course. After wearing down Iran’s much-taller Sajad Barzi for a B-0 victory and the Greco-Roman wrestling bronze at 264 1/2 pounds, Gardner sat down on the mat, an American flag cradled in his arms, and took off his shoes. Then, in a tradition nearly as old as the Olympics, he left them in the center of the mat—a career he never dreamed would be this good was over, though the finish wasn’t a storybook one like he wanted it to be. Even the Greek fans who have whisded at and booed American athletes for nearly two weeks gave him respectful applause, understanding that while he may no longer be the champion, he’s still a winner. “That’s it,” Gardner said, not long after he left the mat with tears rolling down his face. “When you step off the SEE GARDNER ON PAGE 16

tions, running back and wide receiver. The Blue Devils are extremely thin at both positions and will rely on true freshmen. Triggered by the departure of receivers Khary Sharpe and Lance Johnson, Roof has decided not to redshirt freshmen Corey Thompson, Jomar Wright and Chancellor Young. At running back, junior Cedric Dargan has secured the starting slot, but the rest of the running back corps is highly inexperienced. Aaron Fryer is the only other returning running back to record a carry last season, and he had only eight. “Aaron Fryer’s done some good things at times,” Roof said. “But from a consistency standpoint, he needs to pick it up.” True freshman Justin Boyle, a hardnose runner, will also see time in the backfield this season. “Justin Boyle, there’s no doubt about which way he’s going when he gets the ball and how he’s getting it, it’s just a matter of being precise on his assignments and that’s going to come with more reps. I’m very excited about his future,” Roof said. Another freshman tailback, Ronnie Drummer, could return punts and kickoffs. Roof noted, however, that the speedy Drummer needs to get stronger. “He’s got the one thing that we can’t coach, and that’s jet-like speed, so we’re definitely going to find something for Ronnie Drummer to do,” Roof said.

for the last time, it’s a big deal.” What was curious about his final day as an active athlete was that Gardner’s emotions held up much better in defeat than they did in victory. Hours before, Gardner seemed to be closing in on a semifinal victory over Kazakhstan’s visibly tiring GeorgiTsurtsumia. But, in a little more than a heartbeat, a slight misstep allowed Tsurtsumia to throw him to the mat out of a clinch and score the winning three points. Just like that, the chance to go gold again, to meet yet another imposing Russian in the final, was gone. A Russian would again win the gold, only this time it was 2Tyear-old Khasan Baroev, not Karelin. “One throw and that’s the whole match,” Gardner said. “One mistake.” Or maybe two “I was surprised Rulon lost two clinches,” said Jeff Blatnick, a Greco-Roman gold medalist 20 years ago. Tve never seen him do that when he is healthy.” Or maybe it was three inches—the margin for error Gardner estimates he left for Tsurtsumia to attack. ‘Three inches,” Gardner said. ‘Three inches make the whole difference in the world.” Still, Blatnick doesn’t think Gardner sullied his wresding legacy by not winning a second Olympic gold. To Blatnick, beating Karelin assured Gardner’s place in the sport’s history, and always will. “He’ll be remembered as an Olympic champion and a world champion,” Blatnick said. “People forget he won the world championship the year after Sydney and proved it was no fluke. I don’t think he did anything wrong in this match. (Tsurtsumia) was well-coached and knew exactly where to attack.” Gardner’s retirement—he’s moving to Utah with his new wife and may become a high school coach—ends an impossible-to-script career that saw him become one of America’s most improbable sports stars. And, after he won the gold, one of its most star-crossed. mat

Katie Grant said. “But pretty much our goal is to take every game at a time and not look too far ahead and too far to the finals, and to just win every game up until that point.” Head coach Beth Bozman, although not pleased with her team’s effort against the Demon Deacons, is impressed with her team in practice so far this year. “In every aspect we are further along [than this time last year],” Bozman said. Six freshmen will make their collegiate debut against Louisville. First-year back Courtney Elliot is expected to step in and start right away on defense, midfielder Hilary Linton said. The roles of the highly-touted class of 2008 will grow as the season progresses. If everything goes according to plan, the first tough opponent the freshmen and the rest of the Blue Devils should meet is Michigan State Sunday. The Spartans finished last year No. 5 in the nation and should be a good road test for Duke. But if the Blue Devils stay true to their word, the only thing they will be thinking about Sunday is squashing the Cardinals.

one of the top teams Friday night and drive back six and a half hours on the bus and hopefully get a short practice in Saturday,” Church said. So long as Duke can maintain its mental focus Sunday night, its athleticism should carry the team to a victory. “I think they try and play similar in their style to the way we do,” Church said. “I think we might be a little bit more athletic than they are, but it depends on how we bounce back.” The Blue Devils are excited about the opportunity to make a statement this weekend by knocking off a highly-touted Tennessee squad and then returning to Durham and beating Elon in their opener at Koskinen Stadium, which is still undergoing renovations. “The nice thing is we have a veteran team and they’ve been through these wars before,” Church said.

Public lacks understanding of conflict As a non-Jew and a non-Muslim, lam tired of people talking about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict as one between the two religions. We all know for a fact that Israel is a Jewish only’ state, but its government policies against the Palestinians has led to violence, brutality and the desecration of the Palestinian people and their rights. This is the story of an occupation. An occupation that unlike other occupations of the world, has continued with the blessing of America. The word anti-Semitism has been used as

a shield to prevent the public from getting a true understanding of this conflict thereby further prolonging the peace process, We hope to educate the people about Israel’s policies against the Palestinians and how we can engage in peaceful disengagements processes,

Another side of PSM The Chronicle’s profile of the Palestine Sol-

idarity Movement, which portrays the group as seeking a peaceful resolution, neglects some very important facts regarding the group. Its co-founders, Adam Shapiro and Huwaida Arraf, have stated on their website their admiration of suicide bombing, which they state are “no less noble” than their forms ofactivism. The International Solidarity Movement (ISM), PSM’s sister organization, has in fact actively cooperated in terrorist operations and suicide bombings. Omar Khan Sharif and Asif Mohammed Hanif, the perpetrators of the Mike’s Place bombing in Tel Aviv, sought harbor, aid and contact with the ISM at its Rafah office. The ISM also gave cover to ShadiSukiya, a leading member of Islamic Jihad, in Jenin and attempted to prevent the IDF from de-

stroying a bomb lab in Nablus in Aug. 2003. Just as frightening are the PSM’s activities in the U.S. As recalled in a sworn affidavit,, participants at the 2002 conference were heard chanting, “Chrad al-yahud,” or “Annihilate the Jews.” This chant reveals possible motives behind the divestment campaign, which has been noticeably silent on actual atrocities committed in Sudan. This is the true face of an organization that seeks to “support Palestinian resistance ‘in all its forms’” in its ultimate goal; a Palestine “from the (Jordan) River to the (Mediterranean) Sea” and thus the annihilation of Israel and her people.

Duke Police drop the ball So it appears that the priorities of the Duke Police Department are in proper order. On the front page of the Aug. 23 Chronicle, articles ran side-by-side describing a night where several off-campus parties were broken up for being too noisy, while a delivery man was held at gunpoint on Central. How many incidents of rape and robbery is it going to take before the real safety issues of this campus are addressed? Durham is a city that is ravaged by violent crime which has trickled onto this campus. One needs to look no further than the front page of the newspaper to realize that the amount of force used off of East to break up parties was more of a priority than protecting others who are actually on campus. It seems that police officers—of both Durham and Duke—are going to the easy catch of big student parties instead of putting

in the work to patrol the campus and surrounding area from real crime. Our tuition money that is devoted to the police depart-

should be reserved for maintaining our overall safety from those who rape and rob on campus. Instead it is used to pay officers to give out citations and arrests bearing our own names, taking more money out of our own hands and putting it into theirs. The Duke Police Department, with its new reign over the off-East Campus area, and the University, with its strict drinking policies, shouldre-examine where the real problems of this campus lie. Students will drink, that is imminent on a college campus. Rape, robbery and constant student arrests shouldn’t be. ment

Her bovine-based philosophy describes all men as serial womanizers who narcotize themselves with casual sex... much like the men on our campus. I only wish that the women of our campus did the same, instead of throwing themselves into a hookup and blindly expecting a relationship or something “special” to come of it. I write this column with the hope that these ladies will go into hookups without expectations that will later come back to deeply hurt them.Duke’s notorious hookup culture can be incredibly empowering to women; that is, if we learn to use it to our advantage. So feel free to “viva-la-vulva” yourself, Duke freshmen, and don’t be so eager to tie yourself down so quickly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with exploring your sexual self, even if it is in the first few days oflife at college.

Welcome

(back) to Duke. For those of you new to campus, here’s a tip that might help you in the years to come: either you or someone you know is going to be attacked, mugged, assaulted, raped, swindled, hoodwinked or bamboozled while you’re on campus. It’s going to happen. Crime happens, especially at a place with kids as rich, young, naive and new to city life as at Duke. Your first exposure to crime will most likely be through The Chronicle’s crime briefs, but they are written by someone with a sense ofhumor instead of by someone that actually wants to keep us informed. Laptop thefts, you’ll decide, are generally the fault of someone leaving his laptop unwatched. People mugged in the Duke Forest shouldn’t have been running there in the first place. Public masturbation is a crime brief gold mine (remember?). But I’m tired of lying to freshmen and prospective students about campus safety. Yes, the administration has to walk a delicate line between keeping the students informedabout the relative lack ofprotection we have, while at the same time guarding against unnecessary panic attacks. But I would still expect them to do something about the general situation, which definitely does not include spending any of my tuition money on Segways for police officers. I agree that criminals will be so calmer than you are awestruck by the futuristic devices that they will stop dead in their tracks. Either that or, you know, run up a curb. Or stairs. Or on grass. Maybe that money could have been better spent. Like on panic buttons in bathrooms. Card readers on bathroom doors. Personal monitoring devices. Oh, wait. We have those—or at least freshman do (and I do not apologize for suggesting that the iPods you’re trying ever so hard not to lose are the administration’s newest way of keeping tabs on you, like those commercials about the old people who fall when nobody is home). But when prompted with those possibilities during a recent radio interview, an administrator shied away from a direct answer, suggesting that a “campus safety task force” is starting to talk about possibilities offuture conversations concerning things that might be able to be done on campus. Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for groupthink. The administration should not be starting to talk about anything; they should be doing something to ease the minds of every female on this campus who is afraid to go to the bathroom, walk to or from their cars by themselves or study in the stacks late at night. They should be acting to ease the minds of guys going to pick up—or deliver—pizza on Central at dinnertime on a weekend evening. If the administration can’t get its act together (and judging from their response to a few of my friends over the past two years, I can’t imagine that it will), Duke Student Government or Campus Council or somebody needs to make campus safety a priority, with a quickness. I mean immediately, as in “we’re actually going to do something about it instead of scheduling a meeting to talk about it to which nobody comes,” so that someone doesn’t get killed like at UNC-Wilmington. I genuinely love this school, and I am not lying when I tell prospective students that I don’t want to leave next year. But if you truly love something, you have to have the ability to see its flaws and work to change it for the better. Kind oflike the way that it’s patriotic to question your government, as opposed to blindly following whatever it tells you. Pressuring the administration to show us results of increased safety on campus, instead of allowing ourselves to be placated by their promises of “discussions” and “possibilities” and “we can’t do this because it costs too much but it’s not really about the budget, because as you can see we have raised several billion dollars in the past five years” (I’m paraphrasing) shows that we love Duke enough to make it better for those that will come after us.

After a rough season in 2003, the volleyball team is trying to turn things around. With experienced senior leadership and a great freshman class, the pieces are in place for a solid run.

“We want more in ’04.” The words roll off the tongue of an excitedly optimistic Jolene Nagel, Duke’s head volleyball coach. Nagel quickly noted, however, that although this is the current slogan of the team, more complete goals will evolve as the season plays out. The team, Nagel said, will likely evolve as a number of younger players adjust to larger roles. “If you have to measure success in wins and loses, we want more success,” said Nagel, whose team was 10-19 in 2003. “But, we also have high expectations for ourselves.” The Blue Devils are looking for a boost from an unexpected return and unfamiliar faces. Fifth-year senior Tassy Rufai decided to come back for her fourth year of eligibility, after leading last year’s team with 3.22 kills per game. The Blue Devils also boast the 18thbest recruiting class in the country, according to prepvolleyball.com, tops in the ACC. Duke has two Volleyball Magazine top-50 selections in high school teammates Carrie DeMange and Ali Ilausfeld. The two players, from Archbishop Alter High School in Ohio, will take leading roles for the Blue Devils as middle blocker and setter, respectively. “We have a great recruiting class,” Nagel said. “I see them making an imme-

diate impact on the team.” Additionally, Shelley Captio, a 5-foot-ll setter from Charleston, W.Va., will add some fresh talent to the team. Captio broke a bone in her foot during the team’s first practice, but she should return by the start of the season. As the freshmen adjust to playing at the college level, the upperclassmen will have their own learning to do. “We had a lot of seniors last year, and now we have strong underclassmen and rising juniors who will be getting more of a chance to play than in the past,” Nagel said. The dynamic between upperclassmen and the freshmen has been a focus during the preseason. The team will also cope with an overall mental struggle, jumping into the season without a preseason game. Duke’s schedule boasts five matches against teams that made the NCAA Tournament last year. “We have a very, very competitive schedule, but we were able to pick up some matches along the way that will give some people experience,” said the five-year Duke coach, whose team’s schedule that includes three tournaments and three ACC matches before the beginning of October. How the team gels, especially early in the season, will determine how much “more” the team can accomplish. ‘That’s one thing we’ll see with our team, how we step up to the plate,” Nagel said;

THE CHRONICLE

ANDY YUN/THE CHRONICLE

The women's cross country team returns a lot of runners from its successful 2004 campaign, including a deep junior class.

At the end of last year’s cross country season, the women’s team was celebrating a 20th place finish at the NCAA Championships. At the same time, the men’s team was lamenting a season that had been derailed by injuries and mistakes. With renewed hope and health for the men and the promise of continued success for the women, both teams enter this season believing that they can surpass last season’s results. The women’s squad is defined by its depth, with five returning runners who each scored Duke’s top time in at least one race last season and 13 returnees who each scored at least one top-five time. “Our strength is definitely in that everybody on our roster can really compete at this level,” said head coach Kevin Jermyn, who returns six NCAA outdoor qualifiers. “The key is to have everybody toe the line and run very, very aggressively. We can probably afford to take risks because we have the depth; we don’t have only five good runners so that if one of them has an off day there would be a big differ-

ence in the team result.” The men’s team, meanwhile, is defined by its top five runners, with others on the team pushing for reserve slots. Senior leaders Mike Hatch and Nick Schneider have both been All-Southeast Region cross country performers and are joined by sophomores Dan Daly and Keith Krieger, a USA Track Federation Junior AllAmerican. Freshman Chris Spooner, who head coach Norm Ogilvie calls “one of the best freshman recruits we’ve ever had come to Duke,” should also contribute immediately to Duke’s solidified top five. The batde for the sixth and seventh slots, however, should be heated. “We have a host of sophomores and freshmen that all show a great deal of promise, but they’re young,” Ogilvie said. “We’re not sure when they’re going to make that move up....

[We have] outstanding depth in the top five, but the big challenge is going to be who can get closer to

that.other group.”

THE CHRONICLE

It is not easy to play women’s soccer in the same conference as North Carolina the team that has won 15 conference tournaments and 18 national championships over the past 23 years—but for the 18thranked Duke women’s soccer team, earning the respect they feel they deserve might be more important than winning the league. “We always kind of get the shaft in the rankings,” midfielder Casey McCluskey said. “We don’t really know why we never get much credit but we always end up upsetting

SophomoreLorraine Quinn and the rest of the Duke women's soccer team hopes to claw its way towards the top of the ACC, despite manypreseason skeptics.

After a 14-7-1 campaign in 2003, the Blue Devils, lead by co-captains McCluskey and Carolyn Ford, are ranked fifth in the ACC despite the fact that they return nine of their 11 starters. “We were picked to finish in the middle of the pack in die preseason. We’re a little disappointed,” head coach Robbie Church said. “I think we have a lot to prove out there.” Junior forward Carolyn Riggs headed an attack that posted 48 goals last season, the most since 1995, but Duke expects its scoring output to increase even more in 2004 because of its depth at the attack and midfield positions. “We’re probably going to be a team that gets a lot of scoring from different people,”

Church said. “You won’t see the one person that’s going to score goals every game with us, but I do see five or six players with close to double figures. That’s a great way to play.” McCluskey, one of the team’s three seniors, is coming off a year in which her scoring slighdy decreased but her offensive production hardly declined, thanks to what Church believes is greatly improved passing. Joining McCluskey at the talented midfield position will be freshman standout Lorraine Quinn. AFarmingdale, N.Y, native, Quinn has played for several youth U.S. National Teams and was the 2003 Gatorade New York State player of the year. “We’re most excited about Lorraine Quinn,” McCluskey said of the freshman players. “She’s a midfield player, she’s really creative. She likes to get die ball and score goals and do tricky, creative things.” Ford will anchor a defense that remains intact from the team that made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Third-team All-American Kate Seibert, who spent part of her spring alongside McCluskey at the Under-21 National Team training camp, will also be a member of a defense that could ultimately decide the success of the 2004 Blue Devils.

Men's soccer turns to youth for future success by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

Most teams that plan to use freshmen to fill in several vacancies in the starting lineup do not have a bright outlook. But that is certainly not the case for the men’s soccer team. Head coach John Rennie, who is in his 26th season at the helm, is prepared to start three or even more first year players. ‘This is a completely different team with a completely different makeup,” senior co-captain and goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge said. This is not just an ordinary class of first-year players. Many soccer experts have rated the Duke recruiting class as high as second best in the country, and the freshmen have already shown some flashes of brilliance both on the practice field and in exhibition play. Spencer Wadsworth, playing left midfield, made two key plays in the exhibition against 19th-ranked Virginia Commonwealth Sunday. First he beat several defendersand set up a successful penalty kick for fellow neophyte Tomek Charowski, and seven minutes later, Wadsworth assisted another rookie, 6-foot-7 Paul Dudley. “We think we have the makings of a good team,” Rennie said. “Everybody is very anxious to see how well all of these new guys do.” The new faces join a team that endured a subpar season a year ago. Their mark of 8-10-1 included an early stretch ofnine games in which the Blue Devils went 0-8-1, six of which were one-goal losses. “Every single game we played, it was never total domination,” senior striker Nigi Adogwa said. “It was 20 minutes in, someone making one mistake that cost us [the game].” Adogwa is one of several experienced players returning from the 2003 squad who hopes the strong group of freshmen can lift this team back into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. Adogwa led the team with 11 goals and 26 points last season and led the ACC in

goals per game and points per game. He is joined on the offensive side by Wadsworth and sophomore Chris Loftus, who garnered All-ACC Freshman Team honors in his first campaign with 15 points. The midfielders will be headed by junior Blake Camp, who is one of 30 players in the nation to be named to the watch list for the Hermann Trophy the most prestigious award in men’s collegiate soccer. The All-ACC performer led Duke with 10 assists last season. Joining Camp in the midfield will be a mix of veterans and rookies, including junior lan Carey, freshmen Dudley, Charowski and senior tri-captain Joe Kelly. ‘We just want to get everybody together and tell these freshmen what we’re really trying to do here,” Kelly said. On defense, the team will be led by the returning team defensive MVP, senior co-captain Matt White, and sophomore Kyle Helton, who started 10 of 14 games in 2003. Freshmen should play a vital role on this side of the field as well. Tim Jepson and Zachary Pope flashed their potential in die VCU game. White noted that the attitude of the team will be critical to determining Duke’s success. “We want everybody to take the proper mentality this season, working hard, sticking together and playing as a team,” White said. The road to success in the ACC will not be easy for the Blue Devils, who have four conference foes (Maryland, North Carolina, Wake Forest and Virginia) ranked in the top 20 of the NSCAA/Adidas preseason poll. “We’re not really too worried about the rankings,” Trowbridge said. “We’re just going to go out there and play our game.” The Blue Devils believe in their ability to turn it around this season, but it is safe to say that the picture remains extremely unclear at this point. “We’ll have a starting lineup for the first half of the first game,” Rennie said. “Who knows what will happen after that.” —

A DEVILS DREAM: FINAL FOUR RETURN by

Jason Strasser

THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s dazzling run last year deep into the postseason will be a hard act to follow. In Duke’s first season with head coach Beth Bozman at the helm, the squad grabbed the fall sports spotlight. After 15 successful years as the head coach at Princeton, Bozman came to Duke and implemented a fast style of play—and the team responded. The Blue Devils had their best season ever, compiling an impressive 20-4 record and setting new standards for their program. Duke reached both the ACC and the NCAA tide games, losing to Wake Forest on both occasions after the teams split their two regular season matchups. But will there be an encore performance this year? Bozman is convinced her team is primed for another strong campaign, despite a 2-0 preseason loss to the Demon Deacons last weekend. “We came in thinking that we were definitely weeks ahead of where we were last year, which we hoped we would be because we gained so much last season,” said Bozman. Even though the team now has the experience of a national championship run, there are several key components missing from last year. An important part of Bozman’s strategy is an aggressive counter-attack, and many of the graduated seniors made big contributions by disrupting passing lanes and moving the ball down the field. Six freshmen and Cara-Lynn Lopresti, a sophomore transfer from Stanford, are expected to help fill the gaps. Duke’s counter-attack and general game plan looked shaky during its scrimmage against the Demon Deacons, but Bozman expects her new players to step up when the regular season rolls around. “Obviously we were worried with Kim

BIG SHOT DUKE’S INTIMIDATOR ‘KEEPIN’ IT REAL’ by

IfHappy Gilmore played field hockey, he’d be in awe of Gracie Sorbello’s thundering shot. During a typical Duke corner, Sorbello trots to the top of the circle from her position in the backfield like a major league closer heading to the mound. Uneasy faces ofher opponents line the goal as Sorbello squares her shoulders and grips her stick perpendicular to her waist. After a moment, a Duke teammate receives a pass from the comer and stops it just inside the circle. Sorbello winds up, takes a quick stride, and fires a rocket towards the net.

From even a short distance, it can be hard to track the flight of the white rubber ball off ofher stick. “Man, she can hit the ball,” head coach Beth Bozman said with a smile. “I think Gracie has the hardest hit in the country.” But that’s not all Sorbello can do.

than what they played in high school. They are going spend a lot of time on that, because it ultimately helps them for our counter-attack.” Duke will have to make sure things come together fast because of the overall strength of the ACC. When the polls come out, four of the top five teams will likely be from the ACC. Junior Katie Grant is expecting the obvious—competition will be stiff in field hockey’s premier conference. “Both UNC and Maryland can beat anybody,” Grant said. ‘They got good recruits. Wake lost a lot of players, but they will still be a threat to us.” The Blue Devils open their season in East Lansing, Mich., this weekend against Louisville in the Champion’s Challenge, hosted by Michigan State. After the tournament, they will play eight of their next nine games at home. The Duke field hockey team has as good a shot as any other Duke team to bring home a national title. And if seniors Johanna Bischof, Gracie Sorbello and Chrissie Murphy, have their say, they will go out with a bang.

Van Kirk, Kim Gogola and Jessica Pluck graduating, and with what kind of void they’d create,” Bozman said. “But we’ve been really happy. The freshmen have far surpassed our expectations. I think they came back really fit. We knew that they would be talented, but they’re better than we thought they would be.” Defense has been a bigger emphasis than the counter-attack during the off-season. Between the posts is the accomplished junior Christy Morgan, who started 22 games for the Blue Devils last year. Protecting Morgan and the circle has been a point of emphasis, especially for the players not accustomed to Bozman’s defensive philosophy. “One of our keys is everybody is a good defender,” Bozman said. “We spend a lot of time on defense. When freshmen come in, they don’t really understand defense, and our system of defense is very different

as the national championships. That way, by the time, we hit nationals we’ve found the perspective and level of anxiety that’s right for them. It’s taking the guesswork out and trying to control things you can control before nationals.” Jermyn declined to speculate on where the team would finish this season, maintaining that, although he’d like to see a good national finish, his focus is on improving from last year. His team, however, has more concrete goals. “I think our team has the potential to be top five in nationals and compete to win ACCs and also our region,” said senior Paige Miller.

goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir, the biggest question surrounding Duke is how the defense will perform as a unit with a new netminder behind them. Senior Katie Straka and freshman Ali Lipsher, who won player of the year honors in Hawaii, are balding for the starting spots. Morale and unity among the players is high, and as Church enters his fourth year at the helm, he is thrilled to be coaching the most experienced team he’s had during his time in Durham. “It’s different because we’re a litde bit more of a veteran team than in the past,” Church said. Two years ago we started six freshmen, last year we started up to four freshmen? this year we will probably have two play a lot as freshman. So it’s really more of a veteran group and that’s exciting.” The team is primed for another strong season challenging within the ACC, and although they are still heavy underdogs to their counterparts in Chapel Hill, Church and the Blue Devils have no problem competing with the best.
