Campaigns target college-age voters by

Seyward Darby THE CHRONICLE

From the confetti-dusted stages of the national party conventions and college auditoriums across the country, to hip Internet blogs and online chatrooms, this year’s presidential candidates are making two facts increasingly clear as Election Day approaches: the young vote could be crucial 2004—and they want it. Both President George W. IflA/i Bush and his rival Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., are using various strategies to recruit the nation’s youngest voters—18 to 24-yearolds. The candidates are shining a public spotlight on their own children, presenting them at the national conventions and other campaign events as the fresh faces of their political parties as they attempt to appeal to college-age voters. In an effort to attract young voters via technology and peer-to-peer contact, both campaigns also main-

paign. “Everyone’s overarching goal is that youth get involved and actively participating.” Courting the 18 to 24-year-old vote, however, has not always been a top priority on candi-

dates’ campaign agendas. The voting bloc’s historically poor turnout on Election Day has discouraged Democrats and Republicans alike from investing their funds and energies in youth outreach. According to research from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, the voting rate of young people has sunk 13 percent since 1972, when the newly adopted 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. Participation has not crossed the 50 percent mark since 1992. But the highly-contested SEE VOTERS ON PAGE 8

Head Line Monitor Steve Rawson plans to implement several major policy changes for the upcoming basketball season, including the creation of a stricter opening tenting phase called Black Tenting, the establishment of a line monitor tent and a switch to camp out for Duke’s matchup against Wake Forest instead of the University of Maryland. The shake-up of the infrastructure, which Duke Student Government will formally vote on Sept. 26, originated in an effort to return fervor and fairness to K-ville. “We are doing everything we can to make K-ville more exciting, so it regains—if it ever lost it—the feeling of a center of student activity, rather than a ritualistic tradition,” Rawson said.

Israeli Cabinet approves cash advances by

Israeli Cabinet miniscash advances Tuesday of up to $115,000 to Jewish settlers willing to leave their homes in the Gaza Strip and West Bank—the first concrete step toward carrying out Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s contentious pullout plan. In a sign of growing tensions, Israeli police said Sharon and an official planning the withdrawal have been the targets of death threats by Jewish extremists. Israeli security officials have repeatedly voiced concerns that opposition to Sharon could turn violent. Tuesday’s statement by ters approved

police commander Ilan Franco marked the first time a senior security official has publicly issued such a warning. Sharon wants to pull out of all 21 Gaza settlementsand four small ones in the West Bank in 2005, removing 8,500 setders from their homes. After four years of conflict with the Palestinians, Sharon says the moves are needed to improve security and pre-empt new international peace plans. The prime minister hopes cash advances will entice many setders to leave voluntarily, averting confrontations between setders and troops. Tuesday’s 9-1 vote endorsed guidelines that would pay uprooted families a total of

In the meantime, cash advances of up to one-third of the final compensation package will be offered from reserve funds, a senior official said on condition of anonymity. He said the funds could be available “within days.” Legislation formalizing the guidelines is expected to go to the parliament in November, the official said. Settler leaders bitterly oppose any *

Bush asks Congress for $3.1 billion in aid by

Alan Fram

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

President George W. Bush asked ConWASHINGTON, D.C. gress for an additional $3.1 billion Tuesday to help Florida and other states recover from the battering they endured from recent hurricanes,

His request spurred the Republican-run Senate to do exacdy what Bush and some GOP lawmakers have said they would oppose: Provide moneyfor another disaster as well. By voice vote, the chamber approved $2.9 billion for a drought that has hurt farmers, largely in the Midwest. Bush's latest request for storm aid was focused on helping Florida repair the damage from hurricanes Charley and Frances. It also included some money for flooding and other destruction in southeastern states like North Carolina and South Carolina,

though no breakdown by state was immediately available. Senate leaders seemed likely to push the hurricane package to passage this week. Nearly through a work week shortened by the Jewish New Year's holiday, the House seemed unlikely to get to it until next week. The election-year hurricane request was politically sensitive because of its impact on Florida, which again looms as a potentially pivotal state in the November elections. Facing record federal deficits, Bush wrote lawmakers urging them to limit the package “to those items directlyrelated to the recovery efforts from the impact of these recent major disasters.” But the Senate ignored that request and approved the drought aid, which was sponsored by Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont.,

on the effect that American foreign policy has on the development of fundamentalist groups and their relationship to militant organizations. Perry focused, instead, on explaining his policy position on the war in Iraq. He supported the original decision to appeal to the United Nations for more stringent inspections for long-range missiles and chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and materials. But he did not agree with the decision to go to war without a U.N. Security Council resolution. He added that presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., holds a similar view. People accuse Kerry of wavering on Iraq because the situation is nuanced, he said. Duke Law Democrats organized the event after officials from Kerry’s campaign contacted the group. Originally a constitutional law group planned to bring Perry to speak, but since the event had “some campaign involvement,” the Duke Law Dems hosted Perry by themselves, said lan Millhiser, a second-year law student and chair of Duke Law Dems. Courtney Crowder, political director for Kerry’s campaign in North Carolina, said no one from Duke paid to bring Perry to campus. Students who heard the speech thought that despite the admittedly partisan slant, Perry balanced the issues well and supported his positions. “From what he said, I thought it was a very fair analysis of the last three years and our response to Sept. 11 and the threat of global terrorism,” said junior Jared Fish, who coordinated the undergraduate invitations for Duke Democrats.

William Perry discusses the Iraq war and global nuclear threats to a small audience Tuesday.

Former Secretary of Defense William Perry is more scared about nuclear weapons than he has ever been before. He served as Secretary of Defense during former President Bill Clinton’s first term, but he has been involved in government security and discussions about nuclear threats for decades. Now he is a professor at Stanford University and the co-director of the Preventive Defense Project, an academic endeavor. He is further away from the politics of defending the country, but he’s thinking about it just as much. ‘The risk of a cold nuclear war never seemed academic to me,” he told a gathering of 40 students at the School ofLaw Tuesday. “I have never been as worried as I am now that a nuclear bomb will be detonated in a U.S. city.” Perry recalled one 3 a.m. phone call in the 1970s when a report warned that thousands of Soviet missiles were heading for the United States. It was a false alarm, but he said he only had 10 minutes to discern the threat. The small turnout for the lunchtime talk was a result of space restrictions and Perry’s own stipulations, several event organizers said. Perry joked easily with the intimate group that attended as he explained the “carrots and sticks” concept of diplomacy and the need for nuclear disarmament. In North Korea, in particular, he said the George W. Bush administration was “not using either carrots or sticks and the problem continues to drift off.” He said he was worried about the growing threat from religious fundamentalist groups, and he underscored a now-familiar sentiment that the

dent-run organization. With a brand-new 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer “quick response vehicle” equipped and certified by the North Carolina Office of EMS and the prospect of advancing to Emergency Medical Technician-Intermediate level certification, Duke EMS aims to establish itself this year as more than just a “Band-Aid service.” ‘We are a real, professional EMS service. We follow all guidelines set by the state, and unlike other student clubs who answer to Student Affairs, we report to the [Duke University Police Department],” said senior David Strauss, director of Duke EMS. Financing for the Trailblazer came

from Duke EMS fundraising and DUPD’s annual budget. “Both the police department and Duke EMS agreed that a quick response vehicle was needed,” said William Garber, DUPD’s medical center affairs manager and liaison to Duke EMS. The new vehicle allows for quicker response time to emergency calls and less dependence on the police department. “Before we either had to wait for the DUPD to pick us up or run to a call by foot, carrying all of our supplies. It can be tough if you’re trying to help someone and you’re all out of breath,” said senior Matt McDaniel, internal coordinator of Duke EMS. “Now we can get to calls faster, and the car has all the basic equipment a SEE EMS ON PAGE 6

regular ambulance has.” The new addition also brings the possibility of upgrading to the next level of care from EMT-Basic to EMT-Intermediate. This advance would permit Duke EMS to inject IVs and perform higher-level procedures. Several members are already certified in the intermediate level and work with the Durham County EMS. “Duke EMS is an integral part of the county system, and we appreciate their dedication very much,” said John Tezai, director of Durham County EMS. On average Duke EMS can get to an on-campus emergency in two to three minutes. Without them, Tezai said, the wait would extend to .five to six minutes for Durham County EMS to arrive. In addition, Duke EMS aims to acquire a central base where it can receive all calls

and continue working throughout the year—a goal DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead fully supports. As of now, Duke EMS is not in service during the summer. ‘The campus does not close in the summer. We have camps running, and DUPD does not close either. Keeping in the spirit of service, Duke EMS should run year-round,” Birkhead said. “We’ve talked about this for a number of years, and we are beginning to get through the logistical issues that prohibited us from running a base.” These issues include finding an appropriate location, ideally on Central Campus, and scheduling members who are willing to commit through the summer. DUPD has been in communication with Eddie Hull, executive director of housing services and dean ofresidence life, and is optimistic about establishing a permanent base for Duke EMS. “We’ve taken great strides in accomplishing Duke EMS’s professional status, and being part

for their demonstration.

of DUPD definitely solidifies their place on campus,” Birkhead said. Historically, the police department has supplemented most of Duke EMS’s operational costs since its inception in 1994, Garber said. Since Duke EMS split from Student Affairs in 2003 to join DUPD the group has been considered a division of the police department. Beyond volunteering at sporting events to take care of ailing fans and teaching a popular course on basic-EMT that has doubled in size since last spring, Duke EMS also plays a large role in addressing alcohol issues at the University. Strauss noted that administrators have told him that Duke EMS has done more to address alcohol issues than any other student group. “Students are much more receptive to letting other students help them out instead of a police officer who is 30 years older,” Strauss said. “It’s about stepping up and taking care of your own.”

Price’s addition to the faculty was one of several moves Barber made in helping pave the way for the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy, where he also served as director for the Centerfor Communications and Journalism. But Barber also took Sanford to task in the then-president’s push to house the papers of Nixon, Law ’37, in a library at Duke. Barber won that batde, as he did when he took a stand on several campus issues in the 1980s and ’9os. Barber called for a louder faculty voice in University decision-making policy. “He took faculty governance very seriously, and he was a wonderfulbalance to those of us in the administration,” former President Keith Brodie said. Colleagues said Barber stood up for what he believed was just, and nowhere did he make his convictions more audible than in a high-profile academic spat in 1991. Barber was involved in developing a local chapter of the National Association of Scholars, a group committed to traditional Western standards in education. But progressive English chair Stanley Fish, Duke’s other prized professor and vocal faculty presence, contended that the NAS was “racist, sexist and homophobic.” The two would remain occasional adversaries, butPrice said it was Barber’s nature not to back down. “He could assert himself when he needed to, but he was a very gracious person whom people liked,” Price said. ‘There never seemed to be any lingering animosities after these scrapes.... That’s because underneath it all he was a very fine person who could get along with almost anybody.” Barber also served as chair of Amnesty International U.S.A. in the mid-1980s. After his retirement, he developed a program for blind people in Durham and continued to raise money for a local soup kitchen through his church, St. Philip’s Episcopal, where Barber’s funeral is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday.

campaign appearances in Michigan and lowa. “President Bush and our leaders in Congress have a practical plan: Allow small businesses to join together to get lower insurance rates big companies get. Stop frivolous lawsuits against doctors. Health coverage you can take with you,” the ad says. Then, it continues: ‘The liberals in Congress and Kerry’s plan: Washington bureaucrats in control. A govemment-run health care plan. 1.5 trillion dollar price tag.” The Kerry campaign dismissed the Republican’s criticism, with spokesperson Chad Clanton saying, “George W. Bush doesn’t have a dime’s worth of credibility on health care. He’s chosen to help his insurance company friends instead of cutting health care costs for ordinary Americans. As a result, health care costs have increased 64 percent and 5 million more people have lost their health insurance.” Kerry has proposed expanding the health insurance coverage that federal lawmakers receive to private citizens through tax credits and subsidies. He also calls for government to help pay for extraordinary medical costs for insurers and employers who keep premiums for workers down. Bush’s campaign cites a study by the American Enterprise Institute to back up its claim that Kerry’s plan would cost $1.5 trillion—a study the Democrats dismiss as partisan. Other analysts have said Kerry’s plan would cost $895 billion over 10 years. The Bush ad also reminds voters that Republicans control not only the White House but also Congress. In that sense, it sends a message not only to re-elect Bush but to ensure that the GOP maintains majority control of the House and Senate. Meanwhile, a group of Democrats who have spent some $4O million on advertising against Bush rolled out new ads telling urban blacks “don’t keep getting played” and accusing the president of turning his back on them. “Bush has a plan for America. But you’re not part of it,” says one television ad being released Monday. Another claims; “Bush said prosperity was right around the corner, but he wasn’t talking about the corners in your neighborhood.” The group, known as The Media Fund, plans to spend a relatively large amount for spots at minorities—about $5 million between now and Nov. 2.

8 WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 15,2001

VOTERS from page 1 election of 2000 prompted candidates and election experts to reevaluate the potential value of the 18 to 24-

year-old vote. “The most important thing that makes youth a force this year is that [states] were won and lost by less than 5 percent in 2000,” said Holly Teresi of the Youth Vote Coalition, a national non-partisan organization that works to increase young voters’ participation in elections nationwide. Teresi pointed to Florida, which Bush won by only 537 votes in 2000, and New Mexico, which former Vice President A1 Gore captured by a mere 366 votes, as examples of locations where young voters’ participation could throw the state to one candidate or the other and ultimately determine the outcome of the general election. Other “swing states” include Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Missouri, Nevada and—with the addition of Sen. John Edwards to the Democratic ticket and the deterioration of textile industries during Bush’s term North Carolina. “[Young] people really do have the power to change the direction of the country or keep the direction of the country the same,” Teresi said. While Teresi lauded the presidential candidates’ unSafe Democrat precedented efforts to recruit youth in this election cycle, she said more could—and should—be done. | Safe Republican “Young people are left off of phone and canvassing lists because they don’t have the same voting records as Swing (went Dem In 2000) other people,” she said. “Their doors aren’t knocked on Swing (went Rep In 2000) and their phones don’t ring. That’s a mistake on the the candidates.” of part But Coley, Teresi and other political professionals say tion, job creation and health care—all major election the candidates’ recruitment efforts are only half of the topics. Coley added that military service and national security concerns are also of particular importance to the equation in getting more young people to vote in November. They believe the process also hinges on each young nation’s youth, noting that “over 1000 young people person’s dismissal of the apathy and frustration that has have been killed in Iraq/’ Assistant professor of philosophy Andrew Janiak, who kept the nation’s youth from the polls in the past. ‘There’s an issue out there that everyone can care about,” is organizing an event at Duke later this month to ensaid Jordan Sekulow, the national director of Students for courage students to vote, said young people who do not Bush. ‘You can complain about the government all the time, vote as a means of “protest” against the government do but voting is one tiling you can do.

It’s a license for candidates to ignore you.” According to a Sept. 9 poll of registered voters conducted by The Washington Post-ABC News, Kerry leads Bush by a mere 2 percent among 18 to 30-year-olds. With 48 days to go before Election Day, the effort to boost and capture the young vote is in its final thrust, particularly

in swing states. “There are some states that are very close, so close that they’re completely unpredictable, so close that things can literally be decided by a few hundred votes,” Janiak said. “Every vote counts.”

Mor-Yosef,

spokesperson for the Settlers’ Council, said the vote “proves this is a destructive, illegitimate government.” While the council has spoken out against violence, security officials fear rogue elements might attack the prime minister or sensitive Muslim sites to derail the plan. The issue of death threats has been especially sensitive in Israel since the Nov. 4, 1995, assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by an ultranationalist Jew opposed to peacemaking with the Palestinians. Many settlers believe the West Bank is promised to the Jews by God, and they oppose any concessions to the Palestinians. Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza—which the Palestinians claim for a future state—in the 1967 Middle East war.

safety and health concerns about tenting during vacation, when dormitories and University facilities are not open to students. Rawson said Black Tenting had “taken on another depth of importance” after the four armed robberies that took place on or near Duke’s campus in the past month. “Safety is not an issue that will be fixed overnight, so we can’t assume it will be taken care of before winter break,” he said. At the same time, Black Tenting will also allow all students to get a realistic opportunity to be near the beginning of the line without compromising their vacations. “It will balance the desires of hard-core students, and the students who feel like they want to be hard-core, but can’t for whateverreason,” Rawson said.

Students from last year’s first tent welcomed Black Tenting, citing it as a much-neededrelief. “This is a godsend,” junior Garver Moore said. “By the time UNC rolls around, people are so sick and tired of the whole thing that it is just no fun anymore. This will prevent people

from getting sick of it.” Some freshmen, however, said that Black Tenting limits fans who want to engage in early tenting and that the policy may not stop Cameron Crazies from returning early. “If people want to brave the cold and spend an extra two weeks out there, then more power to them,” said freshman Matt McNeill, who claims he will be one of the first in line this year. “If they’re going to be there that early anyway, they are going to put that much effort into Black Tenting.” This year’s policy changes also include the creation of a line monitor tent, which will house at least one line monitor at all times.

istration office in Jerusalem. “We have opened an intensive investigation regarding threats that have been received in recent days,” Franco said. ‘The threats were to murder the prime minister and officials in the administration.” He said police confiscated signs calling for violence at a demonstration Sunday by settlers in Jerusalem. Bassi’s picture appeared on a large poster at the demonstration with the words, ‘We will not forgive.” Earlier that day, Sharon warned incitement by extremists could lead to civil war. Security has been increased around the disengagement headquarters and for committee personnel, Franco said. Bassi declined to comment, but Sharon’s office issued a statement saying the disengagement administration is open for business and ready to assist settlers “in a sensitive, fair and professional manner.”

Keeping long hours is one thing, sleeping in K-ville is another.” The change from tenting in anticipation of Maryland to camping out for Wake Forest was based on student interest and the projection that Duke’s game against Wake Forest, which went to the Sweet 16 last season and is expected to be one of the nation’s top teams this year, will be more competitive than the one against Maryland. Rawson also plans to pitch to DSG several ideas intended to make the K-ville experience less burdensome; Blue Tenting will only require six people per night, and there will no longer be a secondary line for walk-up games.

HURRICANE

The government will have to borrow the money for both the hurricane aid packages and the drought measure, making federal deficits higher. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairperson Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, said he hoped Congress would complete the bill by the end of September. The newest hurricane package is dominated by $2 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which provides aid to individuals and to state and local agencies after natural disasters such as hurricanes. In an unusual step, the package provides $7O million for the American Red Cross, the private relief organization that

Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said 63 of the 100 senators were ready to vote for the measure, which gave GOP leaders little choice but to accept it. The drought aid was added to a bill financing the Department of Homeland Security next year, bringing its total to about $36 billion. GOP leaders were deciding whether the “If we are Americans, let's work hurricane aid would be together as Americans. Let's help added to that bill or be subpeople who need help.” mitted as free-

Duke Named Among Top Family-Friendly Employers Submitted by Duke University Human Resources For the third consecutive year, Duke University and Health System has been named as one of the top family-friendly workplaces in North Carolina by Carolina Parent magazine.

of the new parental leave policy, I can afford to extend my maternity leave an extra three weeks and am thankful to have an opportunity to spend more time at home with our new child.”

The magazine published its sixth annual family-friendly list in its September issue.

Several of Duke’s recent efforts to support families are the result of an initiative launched last year to study and respond to issues among women at Duke. In spring 2002, a 15-member Women’s Steering Committee was appointed to study the experiences of women at Duke and recommend improvements.

“Duke University has been recognized many times for its generous and family-friendly benefits,” wrote the editors for Carolina Parent. “In the last year, Duke has introduced a variety of new programs and services to its employees to offer even greater support than in previous years.” Among the new benefits and initiatives introduced in the last year are the new paid parental leave for staff, expanded access to quality child care offered through a partnership with Child Care Services Association, and the introduction of guidelines for flexible work arrangements. Julie Pruitt, a program coordinator for Duke University Health System’s Center for Living, was among the first employees to take advantage of the new parental leave benefit. Duke expects about 600 people a year to use the benefit. “When I heard that Duke was offering a new parental leave policy, I was moved to tears,” Pruitt

said after the benefit was announced. “Being pregI was struggling with feelings of guilt about only being able to take a brief maternity leave after the birth of my child. The parental leave policy is truly a blessing. Because

Duke has also made greater efforts this year to

promote the many benefits and support services available to faculty, staff and their family members through a redesigned Child & Family Benefits web site, www.hr.duke.edu/child-family, and the development of a newsletter called Benefits

Resources. “It is an honor to receive such an accolade when compared to the many public and private employers across the state. At Duke, we are committed to supporting the needs of those who invest their careers here to help them achieve both their personal and professional goals. It is because of these outstanding people that Duke has become one of the nation’s premier institutions for education, research, and patient care.” With more than 27,000 faculty and staff, Duke is the largest private employer in the Triangle. For more information about Duke’s family-friendly programs, visit the Duke Human Resources web site at www.hr.duke.edu/benefits/family-friendly.html.

Advantage.

The newsletter features short profiles of faculty, staff and family members who have used specific benefits or services at Duke that have proven especially valuable in their lives. Each story includes information to help others learn more and take advantage of the featured benefit or service. Because many of Duke’s benefits also apply to family members as well as faculty and staff, the newsletter is mailed to the home to increase exposure of these benefits with family members.

Partnership Provides Parents at Duke Greater Access to Quality Child Care Submitted by Duke University Human Resources Parents who work at Duke University and Health System now have greater access to quality child care through the new Duke Child Care Partnership.

Duke has partnered with Child Care Services Association (CCSA) to provide a $200,000 donation to fund grants to area child care centers for improving the quality of child care or expanding space for infants and toddlers. In exchange for this financial support, Duke faculty, staff and students will receive priority for vacant spaces at these facilities when they become available.

Women’s Initiative Steering Committee. “Doubling the capacity of our on-campus child care facility was part of the answer, but it alone cannot accommodate all employees with child care needs. This partnership helps address the broader needs of working parents at Duke while helping enhance the quality of care in the community at large.”

The Duke Child Care Partnership. is a result of recommendations that emerged from the Women’s Initiative at Duke.

“Availability of high quality child care is a pressing issue in our communities, and those that are directly affected are our children. By working together and partnering with local businesses and organizations, modeled by Duke University, we can achieve more for our children,” said Susan Russell, president of CCSA.

“During discussions with faculty and staff members, the need for quality child care always came up as a primary issue,” said Mindy Komberg, assistant vice president of Human Resources, Work Environment, and member of the

For more information regarding the Duke Child Care Partnership and the child care centers visit the Duke Human' Resources web site at www.hr.duke.edu/dccp or contact Susan Russell at (919) 967-3272.

Blue Devils burn Phoenix Ryan Tolkin THE CHRONICLE

Duke can learn from opponents The football team is cannot be having a good week. A last-second loss to Connecticut and a trip to Blacksburg, Va., to take on powerhouse Virginia Tech bookend what has to be a frustrating time in Ted Roofs head coaching career. The Blue Devils will likely take an 0-3 record into their first home game, a Sept. 25 matchup against Maryland. The rough start spoils what could have been an uplifting welcome to Wallace Wade Stadium, and the excitement Roof generated when Duke won two of his last three games as interim coach has dissipated. If Duke does in fact return home 0-3, Roofs honeymoon period would be over before he even had a chance to show what his team can do in Wallace Wade. This, however, is not the time to be glum about Duke’s football team or complain about how inevitable it is for the Blue Devils to have yet another losing season. The close loss to UConn reinforced the views of Duke pessimists, but the history of the Blue Devils’ opponents—Navy, Connecticut and Virginia Tech—all show that past failures can be overcome. At some point in the last 15 years, Navy, Connecticut and Virginia Tech all were thought to be years, if not decades, away from bowl appearances. All are new contenders for their respective conference championships. When one looks at programs like Miami, Florida, Ohio State and Michigan, it seems like college football’s winners are part of an impenetrable, predestined oligarchy of dominance. The power structure of college football, however, is simply too fragile to think in these terms. For example, Penn State and Notre Dame both failed to qualify for a bowl game a year ago. In addition, from 1993 to 1998 Oklahoma did not have a single winning season, but it turned around in a big way to play in the national championship game in two of the last four seasons. Navy, Connecticut and Virginia Tech have all followed a similar model, landing on the greener side of the college football field; They’ve given intense, smart coaches the resources to foster conditions for winning. In 1988, Virginia Tech hired Frank Beamer after a successful tenure at Murray State. The Hokie alum went a combined 5-17 in his first two seasons in Blacksburg, but through persistence and smarts, Virginia Tech is one of the most successful programs in the country.

Samantha Fisher (front) and Carrie DeMange (back) try to block the ball during Duke's 3-0 win over Elon.

With head coach Jolene Nagel on the verge of her 300th victory, the volleyball team pulled through. Duke (6-2) defeated overmatched, in-state opponent Elon 30-16, 30-21, 30-20. The victory, the sixth consecutive for the Blue Devils. “You know I really hadn’t thought about it before the game, but I guess 0 its fair to say lam DUKE definitely not a rookie anymore,” Nagel said. The victory moves Nagel’s career record to 300-203 as a college coach and she is just three wins away from her 100 th victory as the coach of the Blue Devils. “Being a freshman, it’s an honor to be here and share this milestone victory with her,” Tealle Hunkus said. Duke came out energized from the beginning and controlled the pace. The Blue Devils let their early momentum carry through the match to make easy work of Elon (3-5). “We were focused and determined and came out quickly,” Hunkus said. The Blue Devils jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first game. Duke never trailed and led 15-5 before the teams traded points for the rest of the game. After a 30-16 game one win, Duke followed it up with consistent second and third games. The Blue Devils kept the intense pressure on the Phoenix, becoming more aggressive in the final two games.

THE CHRONICLE

On the surface, Allan tic-Sun Conference opponent Campbell should not present a problem for the Duke men’s soccer team. But the Camels should not have been a stumbling block last year when they pushed the Blue Devils to a double-overtime tie. After a blazing start when it blanked its first five opponents, Duke (5-0) squares off at 7 p.m. against Campbell (0-2-1) in its final tune-up before the ACC schedule beings Saturday. The Blue Devils won a pair of games in the Duke/adidas Classic this weekend, overwhelming both Columbia and Farleigh Dickenson. “It’s been a great start, but that’s all it really is,” said head coach John Rennie, who noted that his team cannot be overconfident. With a quick, powerful offense and stifling defense, the team has now outscored its opponents 21-0 on the year. Duke looks to continue its hot streak against a Campbell team that has only mustered one goal in three games. Rennie does not expect his defense to hold its opponents scoreless for much

longer. The Campbell attack, however,

may not be strong enough to snap the Blue Devils’ shutout streak. “Our whole team [has been] working very hard defensively from our forwards back to the goal keeper,” Rennie said. To complement stellar defense, the team, which ranks sixth in the nation in scoring average, continues to pummel opposing goalies. Duke has been aggressive offensively, outshooting its opponents 5-to-l and maintaining a 4-to-l corner kick advantage. Josh Swank and Blake Camp lead the team’s balanced attack with 10 points. Camp earned a spot on the College Soccer News Team of the Week after being named MVP of the Duke/adidas Classic. Overall, five different players have scored game-winning goals, and eight players have notched at least seven points through just five games. A pair of freshmen, Spencer Wadsworth and Michael Videira, are sparkplugs in an offense that has been able to control the ball and momentum in its games thus far. SEE MEN’S SOCCER ON PAGE 16

The event is a part of the Nationwide Tour, which is an extension of the PGA Tour. Blaum fired a six-under-par 282 and was the only amateur to make the cut. The junior was consistent throughout the 72-hole event, shooting rounds of 71, 69, 72 and 70. “You couldn’t have put a price on the experience 1 got this week,” said Blaum, who earned a spot in the event by winning the July Eastern Amateur in Virginia Beach. “I learned that I can play out there with those boys, I proved that, and I didn’t even play my best. I played solid, but I didn’t career it. Overall, it was an extremely encouraging week. I really soaked everything in and enjoyed the moment.” Beard named WNBA Player of the Week After struggling at the start of her WNBA career, Alana Beard has turned things around in, the professional league.

Besides gearing COLUMBUS, Ohio Carolina North for a up game against State, No. 9 Ohio State is also preparing for what could be a wet, windy and wild skirmish with Hurricane Ivan Saturday. “We’ve all been put in a ‘let’s wait and see how this hits our country’ mode,” Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel said Tuesday. “[We will] kind of hang loose. Obviously safety is the most important thing.” As Tressel spoke, Ivan was moving through the Gulf of Mexico, causing thousands of people in Florida, Louisiana and Mexico to flee its path. It was expected to hit the United States Wednesday. Even though hurricanes lose power as they pass over land, the storm might bring rain and high winds to Raleigh by the weekend if it continues on its current track. Linebacker AJ. Hawk said too much was being made of the effect of inclement weather on the game. “I really don’t think it changes things as much as people think,” he said. Then he added with a grin, “Now, if the hurricane’s coming through as we’re playing, that might be a little different.” Hawk’s running mate at linebacker, Bobby Carpenter, expressed concern for the people of the hurricane-battered South even as he said the weather would not have an impact on him. “As long as it doesn’t affect anyone’s safety down there, it doesn’t really bother me at all whether it’s 110 degrees with 90 percent humidity or whether it’s 70 with pouring down rain,” Carpenter said. “You’ve got to go out and play the game no matter what and do the best you can.” The Buckeyes (2-0) have never encoun-

During the 1990 season, No. 15 Ohio State lost to No. 18 Southern California 35-26 in a game that was prematurely ended by heavy rain and lightning with 2 and a half minutes left. Buckeyes coach John Cooper agreed to permit the game to be called off after his team lost a late onside kick. Many fans called him a quitter for the decision. Ohio State hopes to fly by private charter to Raleigh on Friday afternoon, although those plans may be disrupted by weather reports over the next two or three days. “We’re waiting to see if there’s any travel issues,” Tressel said. “That doesn’t change our preparation for the game. It doesn’t change anything other than printing out the itineraries.” A year ago, Ohio State weathered three overtimes before safety Will Allen stopped Wolfpack tailback T.A. McLendon inches short of the goal line on the final play to preserve a 44-38 victory. Tressel said if bad weather strikes during the game, both teams will just have to deal with it. “It’s wet for you and wet for them,” he said. “You better be on your feet and not be the guy that slips.

The two combined for 18 kills. Additionally, freshman Ali Hausfeld controlled the offense with 31 of the teams 39 sets. A combination of the strong performance by the Blue Devils starters and an inferior opponent allowed all 13 members of Duke’s team to get into the game. Strong serving and continued aggression have been keys to the Blue Devils’ six-game winning streak. Nagel said her teams ability to focus —regardless of the quality of the opponent—will allow for “great possi-

The next action for the Blue Devils will be at the College of Charleston Invitational over the weekend. Duke will face East Carolina Friday, followed by Georgia State and the College of Charleston Saturday. After the tournament, the Blue Devils will commence their ACC schedule at home against rival North Carolina Tuesday,

She is confident that her team’s hard practice ethic and ability to unite will lead to a successful year in the ACC. “We need to get our hands on more blocks before we begin our conference schedule,” Nagel said.

Nugent said he didn’t mind sloppy weather as long as there wasn’t gusting winds. “I don’t mind wind as long as it’s straight,” he said. Hawk said he didn’t think a storm’s powerful winds would affect Nugent. “Nooge could probably kick it through a hurricane,” Hawk said. “I’d trust him.”

FOOTBALL

page 11

Connecticut’s Randy Edsall and Navy’s Paul Johnson are considered two of the hottest coaches in the country right now. These two, however, still have losing records at their current schools because of the difficulties they encountered in the first years building their programs. Duke fans should learn from the patience that Johnson, Edsall and Reamer received. Duke University followed a similar formula to Connecticut and Navy when it hired Roof. The Georgia Tech alum truly knows the game of football, and more importantly, has the gusto and drive to motivate his players and turn Duke into a perennial winner. Roof proved he could succeed even with less-than-overwhelming talent when the Blue Devils knocked off Georgia Tech and North Carolina at the end of 2003. More importantly, Roof understands that winning is possible at Duke and will not use the team’s recent history as an excuse for losses. The reasons why Duke hasn’t pick up a win are simple. The quality of the team’s opponents so far is above average Division I teams. Also, Roof has had difficulty in part because this is a much younger team than last year’s squad. Unlike this group of players, the 2003 squad should have succeeded. Duke featured NFL prospects at several positions but could not put together a cohesive attack. Roof has shown he can maximize his players talents. 2004, however, is a growing year for the Blue Devils, and Roof should get the benefit of the doubtafter he turned around the 2003 team. Even with the likelihood of Duke losing its first three games, the excitement around Roof and the prospects for the program should not decrease yet. As long as the University continues to support Roof, the close losses with which the Blue Devils always seemed to be associated will become a thing of the past. Even with the daunting schedule Duke must play in the ACC every year, it is important to remember how fragile the power structure is in college football. Duke can win, arid if Roof stays in Durham, Duke will win. With 18 conference championships, the Blue Devils are a glaring example, albeit a negative one, of how much the NCAA can change over the years. There is nothing inevitable about Duke football, and if you give him a chance, Roof will prove it.

After a tough but successful weekend, Rennie decided let the team rest Sunday and Monday. Duke plans on using much of the same strategy it used in the first five games for the rest of the season. “We are just trying to get better and continue to work out our personnel with a pretty young team,” Rennie said. “We are still working on our team getting better game by game, and that’s been our goal since the first day.” to

The Blue Devils also play an extremely clean game, as player has been given a yellow or red card the entire year while opponents’ frustration has led to six cards. Rennie said his team’s clean play stems from the Blue Devils’ athleticism and physical strength. not a single

The iPods of the future

year, instead ofreceiving 158 gram, 20 GB, 4.1 x 2.4 x .57 inch iPods preloaded with Duke-related content, freshmen should receive 1400 gram, 9 x 19 mm TECDC9 assault pistols preloaded with 50 rounds. With four gunpoint robberies in our community already this semester, drastic solutions must be devised to protect future classes. Situated near downtown Durham, a city crawling with 3,000 gang members, which is home to 1,663 acts of violent crime during 2003 alone, we face unique security challenges and must respond with a bold solution. Now that President George W. Bush has allowed the 1994 girlie-man ban on assault weapons to expire, the University ought to seize this historic opportunity and strike first in our war against domestic terror by arming its students with the best modified submachine guns available. In a brilliant book titled More Guns, Less Crime, former University of Chicago professor—and senior researcher at Yale Law School—John R. Lott, Jr., uses an economic axiom and elegant data to show that carrying concealed guns reduces crime. He cleverly matt claims that if the price of something goes up, then people will consume it less. Next, he hypothesizes that—when people carry handguns—criminals will have to pay a higher price to attack them and, as a result, will do so less. To make his point, he employs a massive analysis of crime statistics spanning a broad geographical and temporal range, ultimately demonstrating that implementing concealed-carry handgun laws has great potential to curb criminal activity. Just imagine; for $536,250—roughly the same cost as the iPod initiative—the University could actually make a difference in increasing the safety of its students. Moreover, giving each new student a TEC-DC 9 would not be inconsistent with the overarching goals of the iPod project. According to a Duke press release, the iPods were presented to freshmen “as part of an initiative to encourage creative uses of technology in education and campus life,” and given the great varieties of grips, silencers and miscellaneous barrel attachments TECs easily have as manyaccessories as iPods and can be fired inventively from a variety of positions and settings. While it may be hard to determine how the TEC-DC 9 will have any educational applications, that criticism may be leveled with devastating effect at the iPod program as well. An objection to the proposed Duke TEC-DC 9 initiative maintains that it would take too long to teach students how

to operate the weapons, but this worry is baseless. With the

TEC, unlike the iPod, inexperience is no impediment to successful operation, since it is actually engineered for indiscriminate discharge. Just load, press against your body, squeeze the trigger and sweep your hips back and forth. The rapid fire rate will be sufficient to kill anything in the way, even if five assailants happen to be standing in a line, since the bullets the TEC fires have military full metal jackets capable of passing through humans, parked cars and walls. So if your target is a sleeping infant two blocks away in a house, you just may get the little bastard. But the benefits of the TEC-DC 9 initiative are not restricted to thwarting off-campus attackers; Duke freshmen will also be able to use these exceptional tools to improve life on the homecampus. After a semester of pretense and posturing before rush, girls will finally be able to be genuine by blasting each other into runny hamburger and bone fragments on the BC walkway—though afterwards we’ll have to hire a special detail to collect, wash and sew gillum up holes in the bloodstained clothing and to verltas bury the dead. Lonely freshman males can use their new weapons to self-immolate after four months of celibacy or to avenge the predation of freshman females by upperclassmen. And young engineers will have the tool they need to wisely end it all before spending three years in Teer. But we ought to think on a larger scale as well. For a country with as many social problems as the United States, it is a real pity that we are only able to kill 29,000 people each year with guns. With all the evildoers, single mothers and terrorists about, that number ought to be much higher. But thanks to the president and Republicans in congress who had the courage to stand up and stop the radical 68 percent of the public and 57 percent of gun owners who, in a poll conducted by the National Annenburg Survey of the University of Pennsylvania, supported the assault weapons ban, we ought to be able to kill off some of the more undesirable elements of our society in the near future. By equipping students with legal TEC-DC 9 assault weapons, Duke University can do much in contributing to this worthy cause whose advancement fosters a safer campus—and world—for us all.

Donatella Versace wears

‘Stuff by Hillary Duff’

Okay,

so President Richard Brodhead will officially be inaugurated as the ninth president of Duke University this Saturday. You probably will hear quite enough about it in the coming week. However, bear with me for the next couple of lines and fast-forward a bit to the inauguration. Let’s be cliche and hypothetical: What if you could choose who the next president of Duke would be? What if you could pick the next president based upon how you envision Duke? Personally speaking, I wish Duke were more cosmopolitan, more left-leaning, weren’t so homogeneous and had a much more diverse social spectrum. So I decided to play a little game. What if I chose the next president of Duke to re-create the University how I envisioned it? Saturday, September 18, 2004 I Christian DiorHAM, N.C. Donatella Versace is inaugurated as Duke University’s ninth president. President Donatella’s day begins briskly at the crack of 4:00 p.m., as she rolls over from her luxurious Dior sheets only to, of course, find five naked men still passed out from the administrative meeting that went into ;e late the nours o. th.e I?' hi night: Hard at work, as always.

she begins her first the ministry of sound full day as president. She revitalizes the now new Bryan Center cat-walkway, equipped with strobe-lights and a train of models that walk up and down on an hourly basis. Angered by the neo-gothic architecture, she demands that all of Main West and East be tom down and rebuilt as massive disco-raves to hold her new fall fashion line parties. Unfortunately, residents don’t exacdy get the memo and are forced to quickly flee as Donatella personally bulldozes their now-leveled dorm rooms. No more campus. As for basketball, don’t worry. President Donatella is very pro-sport. Love the Blue Devil Mascot? He’ll still be there, except he’s been ever so slightly altered into six circuit boys, wearing only blue Speedos with an attached devil tail on the back, dancing in synchronous formation to the blasting Paul Oakenfold remix of our fight song. Unfortunately, Donatella’s demand that foam come down from the ceiling every time we scoreddoesn’t exactly play out so well, as all of our players slip and brake their ankles. As a result, we have to forfeit the season. No more basketball. Donatella decides that buses are simply not enough. So she unveils the Duke Metro, a proposed campus-wide subway. Each train is draped in Versace and equipped with hi-defmition plasma screens that play the latest fashion shows live from Milan. DukeMetro doesn’t really go anywhere or do anything, but damnit if she couldn’t make it completely out of Versace then who really cares? Unfortunately, she bums all of the buses in her midday drunken rage as she grabs as much gasoline and rips as muchJ-Crew as she could offofinnocent student bystanders to create one massive fashion-bus inferno, which leaves many a naked student stranded without away to get to class. No more classes. No more academics. No more campus. No more basketball. No more academics. No more Duke. I’ve finally come to accept that not only can I not have Duke exacdy the way I want it, but I shouldn’t have Duke exactly the way I want it In fact no one should.
