Ginsburg to lead genomics center BY Margaux Kanis THE CHRONICLE

The Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy has recruited Dr. Geoffrey Ginsburg to direct its Center for Genomic Medicine. The Center’s mission is to translate personalized medicine research, which has become a strong focus within the realm of science and medicine at the University, into clinical realities. As the new director, Ginsburg hopes to push Duke to the forefront of the personalized medicine field and bring together clinicians and scientists in a cross-disciplinary team to create clear goals and to discuss how to SEE GINSBURG ON PAGE 6

If all goes according to plan, graduate and professional students will soon gain a second representative on the University’s Board ofTrustees. At an Aug. 27 meeting the Executive Committee of the Board discussed a proposal to restructure the graduate and professional student young trustee position in order to allow two students to each serve a two-year term. In order for the changes to go into effect, the full Board must vote to approve the changes at its October meeting. A stronger graduate student presence at the table of the University’s ultimate governing board would signal increased attention to graduate and professional student issues £t a university that is often thought of as an undergraduate-focused institution. “When people talk about student welfare in all kinds of contexts, they think about undergraduates first,” said Heather Dean, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council. “I think there just needs to be a focus on graduate students, and this is just the time.” Robert Richardson, Graduate School ’66, who serves on the Executive Committee of the Board, declined to comment Sunday night, noting that discussions of the Executive Committee are confidential. If the new system goes into effect, GPSC, the governing body for all doctoral and masters students in every area of the University, will select a young trustee every year. The student would serve two years—the first as an observer and the second as a voting member. SEE TRUSTEES ON PAGE

BESLAN, Russia Two days after commandos stormed School No. 1 and hostages fled from powerful explosions within the building, the citizens of Beslan mourned in the streets as they began to bury the dead and search for missing loved ones in the aftermath of the third deadly terrorist attack in Russia in just over a week. There were conflicting reports about the number dead, in part because of the large number of body parts found at the school. Reported estimates from Russian officials range from 324 to 340. The regional health ministry said 180 people were also missing after the three-day hostage crisis. ITAR-Tass later cited a Beslan city official as saying that a list of children unaccounted for included 176 names. The health ministry said 207 of the dead had been identified, but some bodies were charred beyond recognition.

Questions also remained about the number and identity of the

hostage-takers—heavily armed and explosive-laden men and women reportedly demanding independence for the nearby republic of Chechnya. Russian Deputy Prosecutor General Sergei Fridinsky said Sunday that according to the latest information, 32 militants had been involved and the bodies of 30 of them had been found, according to the Russian news agency Interfax. Citing unnamed law enforcement sources, Interfax also reported that three suspects were detained in Beslan Saturday. Channel One showed footage of one alleged attacker in the hands oflaw enforcement officers and reported, without citing a source, that the attackers included Kazakhs, Chechens, Arabs, Ingush and Slavs. North Ossetian Interior Minister Kazbek Dzantiyev, meanwhile, offered his resignation, said Alexander Andreyev of the southern regional branch of the Russian Interior Ministry.

First health fair draws students out on East by

Shivam Joshi

THE CHRONICLE

Despite the relatively small crowd that turned out for the University’s health and fitness week on East Campus, Student Health officials said the program, which concluded Saturday, was a success in its inaugural year. The week’s events were targeted toward freshmen and covered issues including alcohol consumption, sexual conduct, time management and eating habits. Working with Counseling and Psychological Services, Physical and Occupational Therapy, The Vertical Edge Climbing Center and a hodgepodge of intramural sports clubs, Student Health worked to draw the attention of students as they trekked to the Marketplace. With shouts for free massages, swing dancing lessons and the opportunity to rappel down a 24-foot climbing tower, organizers steered away from the traditional “apple a day” adage while educating sleepy-eyed students about the wide array of services that Student Health offers. Franca Alphin, director of health promotions and planner of the health fair, said she was impressed with the student turnout, noting that she did not expect to see “hordes of students” visit the fair. According to her estimates, 50 to 100 students visited the fair each weekday and hundreds attended the fair’s Saturday finale. “This is the first time we’ve done this. Getting a couple hundred students is

quite good. Since we’ve been here everyday, they’re coming back,” Alphin said. “Many go to eat first [at the Marketplace], and then they come back, more alert and more interested.” Although Student Health officials were happy with the turnout, many freshmen were underwhelmed by the fair’s offerings. “[The fair] doesn’t look really big to me,” freshman Edison Zhang said. “I didn’t find it interesting. None of the things here applied to me. I am not even sure what they had there.” John Barrow, assistant director of CAPS, suggested that many students were still sleeping Saturday morning instead of attending the fair’s culmination. He emphasized that, because this was the fair’s first year, he expected ups and downs as organizers evaluated the fair’s progress. “We were hoping for more student participation on Tuesday,” Barrow said. “We thought the karaoke would draw students for the fun of it, but they were interested in the prizes. You try things you don’t know.... It’s an experiment.” Some of those experiments reached unconventional heights. “Earlier in the week, we had the hot air balloon, which was a huge visual attraction,” Alphin said. “You had to do some of the health activities before you could ride in it.”

Despite organizers’ attempts to present information in creative ways, some students said they understood why their peers chose not to attend.

Members of the Duke Ballroom and GraduateStudent Dance Clubs participate in health fair festivities.

“I am sure people know about it, but aren’t interested,” freshman Stesha Doku said. “A lot of freshmen have the attitude that they’ve heard it or it doesn’t pertain to them. [But] there’s something out here for everyone.” Alphin, however, did express satisfaction with the interest level of students who did attend. “Since most students 18 to 21 years old don’t have health issues, we’re trying to make it very interactive—not just

coming here and picking up info,” she said, Fair planners hoped students would find variety in the week’s events. Although

students have heard many of the lessons since childhood, other pieces of advice—such as how to use the dental dam, a female condom used during oral sex—may have been more elusive. “It’s been really fun; they’ve been appreciative,” Alphin said. “I think students are walking away with a very positive message.”

00 thechronicleatl make their mark From merger to Initiative, women

Matt Sullivan

THE CHRONICLE

Ten years ago, East Campus went from a mix-and-match zoo of men and women of all classes to a codified home for zany freshmen who didn’t realize that their Giles of Wilson Dormitories were named after women. Thirty-two years ago, East Campus had made a different change, going from a home for the Woman’s College to Just a piece in a complex puzzle of an officially co-ed Duke. Somewhere in that messy middle lies the modern history of women at Duke. Only in recent years, has the University made a wholesale shift in its focus toward the role of women in higher education. Leading up to the merger between the Woman’s College and the all-male Trinity College in 1972, the two coordinated colleges worked on a separate but parallel understanding. “They used to say that Duke was a co-ed institution with a mile and a quarter hyphen,” former University Archivist Bill King said. The separation fostered a strict but nurturing community of women over on East Campus. But then came what some Trustees told King was the toughest vote they ever had to make, when they officially joined the two schools—a vote that, in hindsight, many alumnae of the Woman’s College wish the Trustees hadn’t made.

DUKE UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES

Duke women in 1976 were among the first to graduate after the University became a co-educational school.

Still, women have made tremendous

progress in marking the University with their own talents and achievements. Though white gloves and hats gave way to bell-bottoms and tangled hair, academic discourse about gender issues was inconsistent at the University over the course of the next decade. Then, in 1983, Professor of the Practice Jean O’Barr almost single-handedly start-

ed the Women’s Studies Program from her office, known as “the blue parlor,” a hub for feminist thought on campus. Six years later, the Women’s Center stood strong on West Campus as a beacon for student affairs and social issues. It would expand in 1991 to add sexual assault counseling to its repertoire. All that slow progress sped up fast, though, when Nan Keohane arrived in

20 GIG iPOD

1993 as Duke’s first female president. Her mere presence aside, Keohane carved out the role of women as one of her pet issues, encouraging a stronger female presence in the faculty and administration. After running a $2.36 billion capital campaign and supporting numerous building projects, she tackled an indepth study of women’s issues on campus as her farewell move. The year-long Women’s Initiative study came at a time when the physics department was taking heat for its treatment of female faculty, when date rape entered the dorm rooms, when an anonymous column in The Chronicle provided a rallying cry for female students who were battling insecurity. “Entering the world meant walking outside to see ‘effortless perfection’ striding across the grass, stepping on the bus, strutting down the runway,” the unnamed student wrote. “It meant seeing the world through the film of inferiority.” And although societal pressures were much of the substance of the Initiative’s final report, the principals involved admitted that they had no quick fix, no merger, no way of telling what might happen. “We don’t have, by any means, a monopoly on useful answers,” Keohane said when the report was issued in September 2003, adding that it was “not the end of something, nor the beginning, but a crucial high point along the way.”

dangers on our streets where the hurricane passed,” Bush said. “Please be patient.” President George W. Bush talked to his brother Sunday afternoon to assure Floridians that federal resources were in place to help respond, a White House spokesperson said. Some 8,000 members of the National Guard were assigned to recovery efforts. Suspected looters were arrested in Palm Beach, Orange and Indian River counties. Once a Category Four hurricane with winds of 145 mph, Frances slowed and weakened to a Category Two storm as it neared Florida. Winds receded to a peak of 105 mph before it made landfall at Sewall’s Point, north of Palm Beach, around 1 a.m. EDT. One gust was clocked at 115 mph. ‘We don’t know what all of our damage is yet, but we know it could have been a lot worse,” Martin County administrator Russ Blackburn said. Initial reports of destruction did not rival the estimated $7.4 billion in insured damage caused by Hurricane Charley in southwestFlorida three weeks ago. Frances’ path overlapped with some of the area hit by Charley, which killed 27 people. One risk-assessment company estimated insured losses could range from $2 billion to $5 billion. By Sunday evening, Frances had been downgraded to a tropical storm, with maximum winds near 65 mph and its center about 15 miles east of Tampa. The storm, which was crawling west-northwest at 8 mph, could regain hurricane strength over the Gulfof Mexico. At one time, about 2.8 million residents in 40 counties were told to evacuate from coastal areas, barrier islands, mobile homes and low-lying areas. The largest evacuation in state history sent 108,000 people to shelters. Airports in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Martin County reopened, but those in Orlando and about 10 other cities remained closed. Officials in Miami and Fort Lauderdale told evacuees they could return home. Miami’s airport was crowded with tourists whose vacations were ruined or interrupted by Frances. New evacuations began in four counties in Florida’s Panhandle, where Frances is expected to hit Monday after crossing the northeast Gulf of Mexico. The most likely location for landfall was St. George Island, forecasters said. Northbound Interstate 95 was closed in Palm Beach County because of a washout. Farther north, about two dozen large oak trees obstructed parts of 1-95 over a 50mile stretch. Authorities closed the majestic Sunshine Skyway Bridge across Tampa Bay. In Martin County, 630 evacuees at a school were forced to another shelter when part of the roof blew off, flooding 16 rooms. Heavy rain transformed some neighborhoods into waterfront property. Roads in Palm Beach County were covered by up to four feet of water. Neighbors waded to each others’ homes after being shuttered inside for nearly 24 hours.

GPSC currently selects a single young trustee every three years. The student serves a three-year term as a voting member. The new arrangement would still allow only one graduate student young trustee vote but would double the number of graduate and professional student voices on the Board. Duke Student Government already elects an undergraduate young trustee every year through a separate process. Each representative serves a three-year term with voting privileges for the latter two years. The structure of the undergraduate trustee positions wouldremain unchanged. Dean noted that for the past several years the graduate student population at Duke has grown but its representation on the Board has remained unchanged. She is serving a single year as an observational member of the Board to finish the term ofTomalei Vess, Graduate School ’O4, who now works in the Graduate School administration. “We’ve been outnumbered three to one for a long time,” Dean said, referring to the undergraduate young trustees. “Really what matters is having people there because generally things are approved or not; very rarely

do votes come down to a vote or two.” The new young trustee structure would open the position to more professional students. The three-year lag dme that currently exists between selections has decreased awareness of the opportunity. Also, some classes in the professional schools, including the Fuqua School of Business, graduate in less than three years, and those students never get an opportunity to apply. Graduate and professional students now comprise nearly half the student body and receive more than half the diplomas that the University issues. John Bumess, seniorvice president for public affairs and government relations, said now would be a logical time for the Board to expand its graduate and professional student representation because the community has expanded and become a better organized group on campus. GPSC has lobbied for a stronger voice in University decisions for the past several years, and, increasingly, the Board of Trustees has requested more information about graduate and professional student issues. This past year, it commissioned the first comprehensive survey of graduate student life in a decade. GPSC will call for applications for the young trustee position later this fall.

A police officer at the N.C.State football game looks on at the scene ofSaturday's double homicide.

SHOOTING from page 1 Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said. Neither was an N.C. State student. Authorities were called to the scene of the shooting about 6 p.m., the same time as N.C. State kicked off against Richmond, Harrison said. Witnesses said a fist fight preceded the incident, which Harrison said was likely precipitated by alcohol consumption. An eyewitness said he saw a man with shaggy blond hair being beaten about an hour before the shooting. He was beaten by a pair of young men who objected to his reckless driving along the parking lot’s dirt roads packed with football fans.

The men, who had been tossing around a football, pulled the man from his car and pushed his head into the dirt, said Brian Smith, 31. Smith said the man left in his car, then returned and asked Smith where to find the men who had beat him. “I have a .38 Smith & Wesson for them,” Smith quoted the man as saying. Gunshots rang out a short time later. The second suspect drove the gunman from the scene, Smith said. Each man was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, Stephens said. Timothy Johnson has a first appearance hearing at 2 p.m. Tuesday, she said. Information about Tony Johnson’s first hearing was not immediately available.

Clemson coach Tommy Bowden told backup running back Kyle Browning to be ready against Wake Forest. “You never know,” Bowden told Browning the day before the game, “you just may be the star of the show.” Browning made the coach’s prediction come true, catching an 11-yard touchdown # pass in the second overtime that gave No. 15 Clemson a 37-30 victory over Wake ForSaturday. Bowden used the winning play several times last season with Duane Coleman, the team’s top rusher from 2003 recovering from a broken foot. A Browning has a similar build and is nearly as elusive as Coleman—and proved to be just as much of a playmaker for the Tigers in their opener against an Atlantic Coast Conference rival.

Tar Heels earn comeback win over W&M North Carolina’s players spent months waiting to take the field and erase memories oflast season’s struggles. But for more than a half Saturday, this year’s Tar Heels looked a lot like the 2003 model. The Tar Heels missed tackles, committed turnovers and had trouble stopping William & Mary en route to a 10-point halfi time deficit. It took them most of the second half to overcome that slow start, using three fourth-quarter touchdowns from Ronnie McGill to take a 49-38 win. Still, the Tar Heels came perilously close to seeing their season thrown into disarray after just one game. “I could hear a couple of catcalls, and I don’t blame [the crowd] because it looks kind of ugly at first,” coach John Bunting said. “I thought our guys really did a great job of hanging in there when things didn’t look very good.” (AP)

Timely TD, botched boot sink Blue Devils in week 1 by

Robert Samuel THE CHRONICLE

ANNAPOLIS, Md.

Momentum

plays a key role in every football game.

Whichever team best utilizes momentum swings almost always wins. Against a squad like Navy, such shifts become even more important. The Midshipmen pound the ball on the ground with their confusing triple-option offense. The attack eats away the clock, leaving few opportunities for opponents to maintain

rhythm.

ground on what proved to be the two biggest momentum swings in their 27-12 loss to Navy

(1-0). With a minute remaining in the first half, Duke had to be content, though not ecstatic, with its performance. Despite untimely penalties and red zone difficulties, the Blue Devils held the most productive rushing offense in the country in 2003 to just 90 yards and led Navy 6-0. As the Midshipmen lined up on their own 42, the Blue Devils hoped to keep Navy out of field goal range. But the Midshipmen quickly put six points on the scoreboard when quarterback Aaron Polanco found Jason Tomlinson streaking down the field for a wide-open, 58-yard touchdown with 57 seconds remaining. After preparing for the Midshipmen’s triple-option running game and accounting for Polanco’s weak arm, it appeared as if Duke comerbackjohn Talley guessed that Tomlinson would not receive the ball more than 15 yards down the field and stopped following the 6-foot-2 Tomlinson. Although Navy missed the extrapoint attempt, the Blue Devils were frustrated when three forced turnovers only resulted in a halftime tie. During the first half, Duke also thwarted a fake punt attempt that Navy head coach Paul Johnson considered an additional turnover. “We outplayed them and we’re tied at 6-6,” running back Cedric Dargan said. “If you get three turnovers in a half, you should go into halftime ahead by a couple of touchdowns.” The Blue Devils very easily could have built off the confidence of a firsthalf shutout, but the momentum shifted to the Midshipmen when Tomlinson crossed the goal line at the end of the second quarter. The Midshipmen broke the stalemate when Polanco faked a handoff to preseason All-American fullback Kyle Eckel and raced to the endzone for a 28-yard touchdown run that, after a successful extra point, gave Navy a 13-6 lead. Showing resilience rarely seen in the Carl Franks era, second-string quarterback and co-captain Chris Dapolito led the Blue Devils down the field to score the only Duke touchdown of the game. Dapolito had 55 of the team’s 80 yards on the series, including 44 rushing yards that culminated with a fiveyard dash into the endzone. But just as the come-from-behind optimism returned for Duke, Matt Brooks missed

Wide Receiver Deonto McCormick struggles to break free fromfrom the Navy defense. the extra-point attempt. Instead of tying the game, the efficient Midshipmen still held the lead. “We put together a nice drive, and to there credit they answered,” Johnson said. “I thought it was a huge momentum swing when they missed the extra

point.”

After Dapolito’s touchdown, the Blue Devils did not muster another first down while Navy’s game on the ground seemed to strengthen by the possession. The Midshipmen ran for 211 second-half yards with Polanco (130) and Eckel (100) finishing over the century mark for yards on the ground. Navy often finds most ofits success on the ground early in games, as the triple option confuses many defenses. Duke, however, came prepared for the perplexing patterns and neutralized much of the Midshipmen’s early effectiveness. Duke head coach Ted Roof explained that the Blue Devils simply wore down against the experienced and disciplined attack. “I think [Navy] guys ran through a lot of tackles. And I think as you saw the defense on the field more in the second half you saw the tackling decline,” Roof said. In addition, Duke could not fully respond to the Midshipmen’s run-

ning exploits because Dargan, who rumbled for a career-high 114 yards, only rushed for 13 yards in the final two quarters. Duke’s starting tailback suffered three minor leg injuries, limiting his second-half effectiveness. After the Blue Devils’ initial 53yard drive that led to a field goal in the first quarter, the passing game could also not find its rhythm. Quarterbacks Mike Schneider and Dapolito made little use of Duke’s much hyped tight end corps, and the coaches called few long passing plays to complement the completions to the flats in the first quarter. “We didn’t get the ball thrown over our heads,” Johnson said. The Blue Devils had two opportunities to put significant pressure on Navy to win the game. First, Duke failed to complete its first-half shut out by, all of things, unsuccessfully stopping the Midshipmen’s long passing ability. Second, after a come-ffom-behind touchdown, the Blue Devils missed an extra point attempt that would have tied the game. After the emotional touchdown, Duke lost much of its energy and was unable to marshal another first down. Navy, on the other hand, capitalized on the Blue Devils’ mistakes. The Midshipmen best utilized momentum and won the game.

101 yards on just 17 first-half carries. The Blue Devils penetrated the Navy red zone three times. Duke’s offense stalled, however, after a pair of third-and-short penalties. The Blue Devils failed to convert the first downs and attempted a field goal on each foray inside Navy’s 20-yard line. Duke settled for two Matt Brooks field goals and a 6-0 advantage. ‘The defense did a hell of a job getting the ball for us,” said quarterback Chris Dapolito, who rotated series with Schneider throughout the game. “We didn’t execute offensively to capitalize and score some touchdowns. We got a few field goals, but that’s not enough.” The Midshipmen gained momentum just before the end of the half, when wide receiver Jason Tomlinson raced past cornerback John Talley for a 58-yard score. “With Navy’s scheme, they try to hit you with the fullback, hit you with the fullback, and then lull you to sleep and then hit you with the big play,” linebacker Giuseppe Aguanno said. “We knew they were going to do it—l guess they just caught us sleeping on the play.” Tomlinson struck again on Navy’s second third-quarter possession, scampering 31 yards to the Duke 37 on a punt return. Four plays later, Polanco ran for a 28-yard touchdown on a critical fourth-and-one play to give Navy a 13-6 lead, its first of the game. Duke responded with a clock-eating 12play drive, capped by a Dapolito five-yard plunge into the endzone that pulled the Blue Devils to within one point of the Midshipmen. But Brooks’ extra point attempt spun wide. The miss blew the wind out of Duke’s sails for good. On the ensuing drive, Navy pounded the Blue Devils’ defensive line with its famous triple-option offense, and Eckel rushed up the middle for a three-yard touchdown. With 3:06 remaining in the game, he provid-

ed a second three-yard score to put the game out of reach. “With that kind ofoffense you’ve got to be exact and precise, and if you’re off by the slightest bit, they’ll hit you for four or five yards every play in the second half,” Aguanno said. “We weren’t precise with our assignments in the second half.” Eckel rushed for 100 yards, including those two late touchdowns, atoning for his earlier fumbles. Polanco was remarkably efficient as a passer, completing 8-of-9 passes behind solid protection from his offensive line, which allowed only one sack and paved the way for 301 rushing yards. For the Blue Devils, Dargan finished with a career-best 114 yards, despite receiving only four touches in the second half. “I got three minor injuries, but it’s on the same leg, so if you add them all up it really affects your performance,” Dargan said, adding that he should be ready for the Connecticut game next week. “If I’m able to play to my capacity, then I want to go out there, but I felt like I couldn’t perform as well as I wanted to.” Schneider and Dapolito combined to complete 13-of-20 passes, but no completion went for more than 15 yards. Schneider played only two offensive series the entire second half and none in the third quarter. The young offensive line allowed three sacks, limiting his efficacy. Roof said, however, Schneider remains firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback, and the rotation was part of the game plan. Duke now turns its eyes toward a road game against Connecticut next week, a team that won nine games last season. Before it gears up for the game, however, Duke must deal with the frustration and disappointment stemming from its loss Saturday, a game many Blue Devils felt they should have won. “This game came down to execution,” Dargan said. “Second half, Navy executed better than we did. It’s sad for me to say that.”

Offense erupts for 23 weekend goals Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s scoring woes are a thing of the past. After tallying three goals in their first two games against Louisville and Michigan State, the Blue Devils’ (3-1) offense exploded against New Hampshire (0-2) and Towson (0-3) Saturday and Sunday in Durham. The Duke offense combined for 23 goals, winning 11-0 and 12-0, respectively. Although the level of competition the Blue DUKE 111 Devils contended with this weekN.H. end was signifiDUKE cantly lower than that which th' h' whicn .ey ! q TOWSON faced in the season openers, the two big wins were a welcome relief. “It feels good,” said Nicole Dudek, who scored a hat trick against New Hampshire and put home two goals and assisted another against Towson. “This is definitely what we needed after a loss. We’re not really used to losing, after the good season we had last year.” Duke exerted tremendous offensive pressure against both opponents, and the majority ofboth games were played in the visitors’ defensive zones. New Hampshire only mustered three shots in its game against the Blue Devils, and Towson managed a single shot on goal. “We didn’t really have a choice,” senior Gracie Sorbello said of her team’s pressure against Towson. “They put their whole team inside the circle. They let us do whatever we wanted outside the circle, so our only choice was to go for it and attack them.” Duke capitalized on its scoring opportunities, something it failed to do in its first two games, head coach Beth Bozman said. “We just took care of the things we talked about at Michigan State, and just executed this weekend,” Bozman said.

Tealle Hunkusand theBlue Devils lost theirfirst two matches this weekend but came back to win theirfinal contest in three straight games.

In the first weekend of the 2004 season, the women’s volleyball team recovered from back-toback losses to Loyola Marymount and Tennessee in the LMU/Four Points Sheraton Volleyball Classic to score a decisive 3-0 victory against Yillanova (0-3) Saturday. “We have a young team that is just getting to know each other,” head DUKE coach Jolene Nagel said. “I think if we could have NOVA played Villanova first and gotten rid of a few pregame jitters, we would have done better overall.” The Blue Devils (1-2) dominated the Wildcats throughout the match, never trailing their opponents. Duke improved defensively against Villanova and tallied 45 digs, six team blocks. Senior cocaptain Stephanie Istvan lead the effort, picking up 23 digs. Duke served well, picking up 12 aces. Freshman Ali Hausfeld stood out on offense, posting 48 assists and three kills. During her first collegiate weekend, Hausfeld dished out 130 assists and slammed 10kills at her opponents’ feet. The freshman was the only Blue Devil to earn a place on the all-tournament team. “Our freshman setter [Hausfeld] was the reason for our high offensive numbers against Villanova and Tennessee,” Nagel said. “We’ve got some nice talent in the younger classes, but it won’t mean any-

thing without strong leadership from the upperclassmen. The players are getting their confidence up as they get to know each other.” Junior Tiffany Perry, who scored a career-high 13 kills, was a catalyst offensively. Freshman Carrie DeMange and senior Tassy Rufai posted 10 kills each. Although Duke played well offensively, a number of mistakes hampered its effort against No. 17/18 Loyola Marymount in the team’s season opener. Nagel said the Blue Devils were nervous and made a number of errors they would not have made in practice. The most glaring problem was 14 service errors. Despite its problems, Duke came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the third game. The Blue Devils, however, could not maintain the momentum, surrendering a 25-24 lead in fourth game.

In another difficult matchup against Tennessee, ranked second in the SEC, the Blue Devils lost 3-0. Duke, however, kept all three games close, taking the lead at several points during the match. The Blue Devils eventually fell to the Lady Vols 27-30, 2931, and 28-30. Tennessee went on to sweep Loyola Marymount to win the tournament. Coach Nagel is confident when looking ahead to the rest of the team’s season. “It helps us for sure to have a win under our belt, and we were close to getting two more,” she said. “We had to learn the hard way with teams that were less forgiving.” The Blue Devils play Campbell in Buies Creek, N.C., at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Midfielder Casey McCluskey looked the sky and buried her face in her hands. Florida goalkeeper Brittni Goodwin had just ranged out of position as the ball had squirted free, landing right at the feet of the Duke senior. With a great chance to knot the game at 2-2 five minutes into the second half, McCluskey shot the ball high over the crossbar. Duke never really threatened again, as No. 12 Florida scored three more goals to win 5-1. FLORIDA 5 “The sh DUKE 1 I had missed... [isn’t] really anything that you to

Cluskey said. “It’s

just you have to have composure and try not to choke and [l] did.” In the second game of the Nike Carolina Classic at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, the women’s soccer team (2-2) fell to the Gators in a contest marked by physical play and the No. 18Blue Devils’ failure to convert on many first-half scoring opportunities. Despite controlling the opening stanza, Duke trailed 2-1, and Florida (3-1) came out and dominated the second half. “We actually played some of our best soccer that we’ve played in a long time; I though we were going to win the game going into the second half,” head coach Robbie Church said. “But their commitment level was much stronger than our commitment level was in the second half.... At the start of the second half we had two great opportunities to tie the game and when we didn’t tie it, they were relieved, and then theyreally took it to us.” Church expected Florida to play a physical game and was proud of his players’ ability to match the Gators’ toughness in the first half. He did, however, say the Gators physical play helped the opposition to control the second half. “It wore on us a little bit and we backed down some,” Church said. “We have to handle physical teams because a

lot of teams are going to be physical with us. We’re a very skillful team and they know that’s one way they can destroy us.” Freshman Lorraine Quinn was a casualty of the Gator’s physical play, suffering a concussion after colliding with Florida’s Melanie Booth. After McCluskey’s misfire at the start of the second half, Florida controlled the next 20 minutes and finally broke the game open with a goal at 71:20. Booth’s corner kick skimmed off the head of a Blue Devil defender before Gator forward Ashley Kellgren buried the shot to make it 3-1. Church then made a tactical change, removing one of his defenders and inserting another forward to try to stir the Duke offense. The shift backfired and the Gators collected two goals in the next seven minutes, exposing a stretched and depleted Blue Devil defense. Kellgren put the final goal of the match past Duke goalkeeper Allison Lipsher on a breakaway for her third score. “We opened up more gaps in the back because we wanted to push players forward so we could score more goals,” defender Heidi Hollenbeck said. “That’s a risk that you’re willing to take at that point in the game.” The game began with an offensive flurry, as the teams combined for three goals before the middle of the period. Although Duke dominated the early part of the half, Florida scored the first two goals of the match, both on what Church called Blue Devil mistakes. Kellgren notched the first goal on a cross from Booth in the seventh minute and forward Christine Johnson scored on a set play in the 17th minute. Duke played well in between the two Gator goals, as midfielders Rebecca Moros and Darby Kroyer each had good opportunities but were unable to capitalize. The Blue Devils finally did get on the board less than a minute after Florida’s second goal. Defender Heidi Hollenbeck headed in Moros’s corner kick for her first career goal.

left side, and Josh Swank, who leads the team with five goals, added two ofhis own. Although the Blue Devils did not capitalize on their opportunities until the second half, their defense prevented the Terriers from getting any real chances on goal, limiting them to just three shots. Duke has yet to allow a goal in its three regular season games. “You can play better than the other team, and you’re not going to have a lot of points to show sometimes, so you have to play through it,” head coach John Rennie said. “[You have to] realize that one mistake and the other team can get ahead, but we did a tremendous job defensively and really didn’t give them much of anything all night. Then when we did score it broke their spirit a little bit, and the goals started to come.” The win was the Blue Devils’ second of the weekend. They defeated a competitive Temple team Saturday, 5-0, with goals from freshmen Michael Videira and Paul Dudley, as well as sophomore Swank. For such a young and inexperienced team, their effort has led to a strong start to a season full of optimism. “We worked very, very hard,” Rennie said. “We kept our patience and composure, played tremendous defense and finally the goals came, but it came as the result ofhard work.”

Discarding racial stereotypes

Over

the past year I have closely monitored The Chronicle’s editorials. Sexuality (from Duke’s hook-up culture to gay rights) and race relations (from party themes to “thugs’ ladies”) are undeniably two of the most-discussed issues on this campus, More than once I have become infuriated by discussions of the latter; it seems to me that despite an overwhelming enthusiasm for expressing personal opinion, there is little interest in real debates that could open any doors for change. lam suggesting an obvi-

Even if one argues that stereotypes are based on some level of truth, for the sake of positive and functional relationships, it becomes necessary to discard all of them, I would like to stress that I am not suggesting you give up ideas of your heritage, background, culture or self-identity. I realize that a probable response to my argument is, “My heritage is important to me; you can’t expect ous—though possibly overlooked —explana- me to disregard it because I do feel a connection for this and what could possibly be done tion to other people based on my backto really eliminate racial tensions. ground.” Rejecting ideas of heritage is an imCan you look at my name and guess the possible solution.

John

Kerry loves to accuse his opponents of below-thebelt personal attacks. He has discussed a “Republican attack squad,” responded to supposed attacks on his ‘patriotism,” and charged, with very little evidence, that the White House is illegally coordinating 527-advertisements against him. Last week, Kerry described the Republican convention as “almost nothing but anger and insults.” The next time Kerry calls a heated analysis of his voting record a smear campaign, remember what he and his highlevel supporters have been doing the last year and a half: 4/2/03: Kerry calls for a “regime change in the United States.” 6/20/03: John Edwards says: “We have, to show this president as the absolute phony that he is.” 9/4/03: Kerry says it “would be wonderful to have a President of the United States who could find the rest of the countries in this

hemisphere.” 9/9/03; Kerry says President George W. Bush “behaves like Jefferson Davis on the ConNathan federate flag.” 9/18/03: Ted Kennedy says the Iraq War “was made up in Texas” for political gain. 12/1/03; Howard Dean discusses the “interesting theory” that President Bush was warned about 9/11. 12/2/03: Kerry uses the f-word to attack the President’s Iraq policy. 2/1/04: DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe says the President was “AWOL” from the National Guard. . 2/8/04: Former Vice President A1 Gore screams that President Bush “Betrayed this country!” 3/10/04: Kerry calls Republicans “crooked” and “lying.” 3/17/04: Kerry accuses President Bush of placing a “target” on the backs ofU.S. troops. 4/26/04: Kerry attacks President Bush’s National Guard service three times in one interview, saying the President “can’t even answer whether or not he showed up for duty in the National Guard”; “can’t even show or prove that he showed up for duty in the National Guard”; and “has yet to explain to America whether or not, and tell the truth, about whether he showed up for duty.” 4/28/04: On floor of the U.S. Senate, Frank Lautenberg displays a cartoon chicken and calls the President and Vice President “chickenhawks” who were “AWOL” during Vietnam. 5/7/04: Teresa Heinz Kerry calls the Vice President

“unpatriotic.”

5/19/04:

Nancy Pelosi calls the President “an incompeleader” with “no judgment” who “has on his shoulders the deaths of many more troops.” 5/23/04: Senator Tim Johnson compares the Republican party to “the Taliban.” 5/26/04: Gore calls the military’s prison system “Bush’s gulag.” 5/31/04: On Memorial Day, Kerry says President Bush “didn’t learn the lessons” of Vietnam and is putting soldiers “at greater risk.” 6/28/04: Introducing Kerry, Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley says the Bush administration worries him more than al Qaeda does. 7/8/04: Kerry calls a group of celebrities the “heart and soul” of America after they call President Bush a “cheap thug who sacrifices our young” and his Presidency “a self serving-regime of deceit, hypocrisy and belligerence.” 7/9/04: Kerry-Edwards Florida Chairman Rep. Kendrick Meek says Jeb Bush “was carleton like bin Laden after the 2000 election.” poker 7/15/04: Kerry criticizes President Bush for not speaking to the NAACP despite the group’s leaders comparing the President to a Nazi, a confederate, a Taliban member and a Jim Crow segregationist. 7/25/04: Teresa Heinz Kerry says “we have basically given scholarships to potential terrorists to become terrorists.” 7/27/04: Ted Kennedy calls Republicans “false patriots.” 8/2/04: Kerry calls a group of President Bush’s supporters “goons” and Teresa Heinz Kerry says they “want four more years of hell.” 8/16/04: Quoted in Newsweek, Kerry National Security adviser Rand Beers says the President underfunds homeland security because the most targeted areas are in Democratic states. 8/16/04; Senator Tom Harkin calls Vice President Cheney a “coward.” 9/2/04: Kerry responds to the Vice President’s convention speech by saying he served two tours of duty in Vietnam while the Vice President obtained deferments.

2004 I 9

Wulforst

when I was University Editor of The Chronicle, my co-editor Cindy Yee and I met regularly with most major administrators. Some were smart, some were savvy, some were strange. But no one ever matched Dining Services Director Jim Wulforst. Meeting with Wulforst was a total trip—you never knew what he was going to come out with. One day he showed us a picture of him brandishing a marlin that he had caught that week. Another time, we entered his office to discover he had recruited a youthful sidekick, seemingly plucked right off the quad, who offered us piles of bewildering statistical reports. Wulforst liked to talk, and he liked to tell stories. More specifically, he liked to tell the same stories; a meeting never passed in which he did not breathlessly intone that “Good is the enemy of excellence” and that credit belonged to Coach G of the women’s basketball team. Sometimes, he would good-naturedly drone on for an hour about something we had already discussed, cheerfully concluding the meeting before we could get to our first question. But he was a reporter’s dream. He prefaced his statements with lines like, “I might get fired for this, but...” and seemed to lack the careful self-censorship mechanism that Andrew collins can make Chronicle interviews so trying. hazards of duke Moreover, he always told us the truth, even when it didn’t reflect well on his operation, and that is the greatest demonstration of respect you can make to a reporter. As time has passed, I have come to realize that Jim Wulforst is more than a reporter’s dream—he is every student’s greatest ally. He has turned his little corner of the school into one of the most flexible, rigorously analyzed, cost-effective operations in the country and, amazingly, has done so while making students his top priority. Most of us don’t realize this. We are more concerned with issues like the poor quality of the Marketplace food, the closing of the venerable Oak Room and the “mean wraps lady” in the Great Hall. Wulforst hears all of this and has done something about each of these legitimate complaints, because unlike your average administrator, he loves hearing from students and doesn’t put himself above them. He has also institutionalized student feedback as part of his Performance Assessment for Culinary Excellence ratings, which he developed last year to “toughen up” on on-campus eateries. Like most Wulforst ideas, this one has a quirky backstory: He went on a tour of Air Force dining operations and was impressed by the rigorous standards he saw, then proceeded to implement the military regime at Duke. The PACE ratings are a complicated collection of somewhat arbitrarily weighted factors, but if you put faith in their consistency, they have worked. Rick’s Diner went from dead last in the fall 2003 rankings to a respectable showing in the spring after owner Rick Lynch vowed not to stay in the (figurative) cellar. And many managers have reported that with clearer expectations, they are able to better fall in line with the Wulforst program. Granted, Wulforst has an easier task than some administrators because his operation is easily quantifiable. George McLendon would have a tough time rating Arts and Sciences professors on cleanliness, friendliness and speed of service—and if he did, most would be out of a job. But where are the surveys and true responsiveness in other areas of the school like Residential Life and Housing Services, Parking and Transportation Services and other auxiliaries? It’s one thing to pay lip service to students and then pursue policies that counter their desires and, arguably, interests. But that is not the Wulforst style. Nutty though he may be sometimes, Wulforst personifies the responsive and proactive agility that sets Duke apart from its staid Ivy peers. If more administrators were to follow his benevolent and rigorous PACE, Duke would be an immeasurably better place. Andrew Collins is a Trinity senior and former University Editor of The Chronicle.
