Brodhead charts Duke's future as a rising university Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

GEBHARD/THE CHRONICLE

President Richard Brodhead gives his inaugural address, sprinkled with his characteristic wit and literary references, in the Duke Chapel Saturday afternoon.

President Richard Brodhead assumed his post as the ninth president of Duke University with humor and foresight Saturday in an event that mingled the majesty of official ceremony with the modesty of Duke’s new populist leader. The threat of rain from Hurricane Ivan forced inauguration to move indoors from the Chapel Quadrangle to the Chapel for the first time in Duke’s history, but about 2,000 people crowded into the Chapel and several overflow rooms to hear Brodhead issue his vision for the University’s future. In a speech that drew upon a variety of literary characters and cited Duke’s history, Brodhead set forth goals primarily directed at increasing Duke’s ability to influence life beyond its Gothic walls. He committed the University to increasing financial aid and applying research to global discussions and local issues. He also pledged to strengthen the community among graduate students, undergraduates, faculty and employees. While acknowledging the foundational work that the recent boom of campus construction provides, he called for the development of faculty. “We reach the time for building of another sort, a building of intellectual capital commensurate with a splendid physical plant,” he said. “Every great university is SEE INAUGURATION ON PAGE 11

Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski’s court was replaced with drapes and gilded columns, rich bouquets, chandeliers and tuxedoed waiters serving hors d’oeuvres to crowds of students and alumni. “I think they must have kidnapped Krzyzewski when they did this,” senior Clayton Eiswirth said. The dance floor was filled with swingdancing, conga-ing and slow-dancing couples, but students were not the only ones

partaking in the festivities. Alumni and delegates from other universities flocked to Duke for the inauguration ceremony and had as much fun at the “school dance” as students did. “I don’t remember anything like this while I was here,” said Michael Johnson, Trinity ’6B. “It’s an interesting throwback to the late ’sos—it’s very wholesome and incredibly well-organized.” The evening included performances by various Blue Devil dance and a capella groups, and the featured band, The Voltage Brothers, played covers of classic songs such as “My Girl” and “What a Wonderful World.” “The band is awesome, and they play music from the era when music was TIAN QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Mariam Fam

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Militants beheaded BAGHDAD, Iraq three hostages said to be Iraqi Kurd militiamen, showing their deaths in a video posted on a Web site Sunday and denouncing Kurdish political parties for cooperating with Americans in Iraq. In a separate incident, a group claimed to have kidnapped 18 members of the Iraqi National Guard, according to the Arabic station Al-Jazeera, which said the soldiers were threatened with death unless a detained Shiite leader is freed within 48 hours.

The bodies of the three slain hostages were found by a road outside the northern city of Mosul, said Sarkawt Hassan, security chief in the mainly Kurdish town of Sulaimaniyah. He identified them as members of the peshmerga militia of the Kurdistan Democratic Party. Iraq’s prime minister vowed his government was working for the release of all hostages, including two Americans and a Briton who are also threatened with decapitation by their captors, who claim to be from an al Qaeda-linked militant group. News of another kidnapping emerged

Sunday, as the Lebanese Foreign Ministry said three Lebanese working for a travel agent and their Iraqi driver were snatched on the highway between Baghdad and the insurgency stronghold-of Fallujah. The captives were identified as Fadi Munir Yassin, Cherbal Karam Haj and Aram Nalbandian, all Lebanese, and Iraqi Ahmed Mirza. The hostages’ beheading was claimed by the Ansar al-Sunna Army, a group that has targeted Iraqi Kurds and that previously killed 12 kidnapped Nepalese workers. SEE IRAQ ON PAGE 14

Reformist, hard-liner face off for mayor JOVANA

GEC BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BELGRADE, Serbia A pro-Western reformist and a hard-line nationalist loyal to Slobodan Milosevic led the race for Belgrade mayor Sunday, preliminary results showed. The returns also indicated a close battle between the two rival groups elsewhere in Serbia in key local elections. Democrat Nenad Bogdanovic received 33 percent of the vote in Belgrade, while ultranationalist Aleksandar Vucic garnered 29 percent, according to the Center for Independent Elections and Democracy. The two will face each other in a runoff vote in two weeks, the indepepdent monitors’ group said. The Belgrade mayoral race has been a focus of Serbia’s municipal ballot, after recent legal changes made the capital city’s leader the third most important political position in the republic after Serbia’s president and the prime minister.

Zoran Drakulic, a candidate of the ruling Democratic Party of Serbia, was third, dropping out of contention with 14 percent of the vote, according to the unofficial count. That was a severe blow to Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica’s ruling conservative coalition and a sign of its sagging popularity. More than 6 million Serbian voters were also picking representatives for local assemblies in 148 municipalities, as well as mayors

of three other major cities—Novi Sad in the north, Nis in the south and Kragujevac in central Serbia. In the ethnically tense northern province of Vojvodina, the citizens also voted for the regional parliament. Election officials have said that official results will not be available before Monday, due to the complexity of the voting system. However, the outcome of the Belgrade race is often indicative of the whole country.

Faculty ranging from English scholars genome czars are talking about the role that the Academy has to play in fostering global health. President Richard Brodhead noted in his inaugural address Saturday afternoon that global health will be a focus of his presidential tenure, but at a panel discussion in the Bryan Center Friday afternoon, half a dozen scholars already had the new University buzzword on their lips. The inequality of health issues will be the “defining issue” of the next generation, said Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of Duke University Health System. Each panel member emphasized the role of his own discipline, but the need to draw from the humanities and social sciences to examine health took center stage. “Humanities are part and parcel of thinking about it in new and interesting ways,” said Robert Cook-Deegan, director of the Center for Genome Ethics, Law and Policy. “Global health is not just about health care.” Priscilla Wald, associate professor of English, explained that health “shock scenes” in journalism and fiction build racial, geographic and socio-economic connotations into infections. Authors, she said, have a responsibility to create new narratives that recognize the role of developed countries in health problems. When championing health care, it helps to explain to people the economic benefits of increasing the level of health worldwide, said Dr. William Roper, dean of the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “It is important for the people of North Carolina—B million of them—to see global health as some-

Panelists look to Duke’s past, future by

Matt Sullivan THE CHRONICLE

Discussions of their own illustrious pasts turned straight to the future for the four five-star panelists that moderator and famed author Reynolds Price said were “picked for distinction in a place which specializes in it.” Speaking in Griffith Film Theater Saturday before several hundred attendees—including President Richard Brodhead himself—for the last of the festivities preceding Brodhead’s inauguration ceremony, the group charted a broad vision for the University spliced with humor and advice. The panel, a collection of some of Duke’s most renowned leaders entitled “Duke University Past, Present and Future,” had the credentials to back up its message, bringing together definitive African-American history scholar John Hope Franklin, Academic Council Chair Dr. Nancy Allen, top theologian Stanley Hauerwas and men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski. “Fate has smiled on us with un-

matched generosity. Of Duke’s future, one can hardly avoid predicting a bright one,” Franklin said. “It would appear that every physical need has been met, given the resources this university now holds. The time is fast approaching when this university will be able to summon any scholar that it wishes, and she or he will answer the cordial invitation to join this magnificent enterprise.” Franklin, James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of History, said his ties to Duke stretch long past the 22 years he has spent on the faculty and closed his remarks by recounting a dream in which students held an all-night vigil to convince a biology professor to turn down a department chair at Oxford University. The reference, of course, was to Krzyzewski’s flirtation with the Los Angeles Lakers and an ensuing vigil this summer. The coach stood for his portion of the discussion, urging Brodhead and the rest of the school to look back on Duke’s past with mutual assurance but to forge ahead as a

Liana

THE CHRONICLE

The inauguration of a university president is a time for celebration and anticipation of change. The change of presidents provides an opportunity to host a whirlwind of inaugural events that display the institution’s best aspects to the nation’s educational elite. At Duke, presidential inaugurations have given the University community a chance to reflect on its past, examine its present and plot its future, former President Terry San-

ford said. And President Richard Brodhead’s inauguration, like inaugurations in the past, did precisely the same. “The ceremony itself is very much like the ceremony for President [Nan] Keohane,” said Vice President and University Secretary Allison Haltom, who has attended several inaugurations in the past. ‘The ceremony for President Keohane was very much like the ceremonies before. With an inauguration you want some continuity.” Keohane, who attended this weekend’s events and spoke at the inaugural ceremony, remembered the day she was presented with the University chain of office in front of the Duke Chapel 11 years ago. “It’s a lot easier to watch someone else be inaugurated than being up there myself,” she said. There are so many things to do, I remember it being overwhelming.” Keith Brodie, who presided over the University immediately before Keo-

hane, also reminisced about his inaugural ceremony after Brodhead spoke Saturday. “It was quite strange to get up on that podium, just looking out over a sea of faces. It’s a time when a president can feel presidential,” he said. “It was a little scary and a little awesome.” One of the most stressful aspects of the inaugural weekend for incoming presidents is the inaugural speech. “You work on your speech because you know that everyone’s going to be hanging onto the thing because it’s the first time you get to say something to the University as a whole—each word, each nuance,” Brodie said. Further back in the school’s history, before it was officially named Duke University, the inauguration of William P“ Few as president of Trinity College ii was just as impressive as contempor augural events at Duke. Official ceremonies for Few began the dedication of the new West Duke ing and the presentation of the colleg< ter and seal to Few byretiring Presiden Kilgo.

Soyinka reflects on power, freedom Task force examines DWI laws by

Saidi Chen

THE CHRONICLE

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka discussed power and “the seemingly endless struggle” between power and freedom in Griffith Film Theater Friday afternoon as part of a series of events that carried a global theme through President Richard Brodhead’s inauguration this weekend. In his lecture entitled “Creative Myths and Politics of Art” Soyinka, an acclaimed Nigerian author and playwright who was the first African person to win a Nobel Prize, delved into broad yet penetrating observations. As a Nigerian, the philosophical and practical concepts of power are deeply relevant to Soyinka’s life and works because the shaky transition from colonialism to democracy in the last half-century has made questions of authority pertinent. “Power—it is the antithesis of freedom that locks both in a seemingly endless struggle... and a primary motivating force of history,” Soyinka explained, driving home this fundamental clash by citing examples from history, literature and

Panel delves into global culture

20. 200417

Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE

In the middle of a Duke-centered inauguration weekend, a small crowd of panelists and spectators gathered in the Bryan Center Saturday morning maintained a distinctly global focus. Five faculty members and scores of ob-

servers convened in the Von Canon Room at 9:30 a.m. for the “Global Challenges” panel, which focused on globalization and its impact on many diverse fields, ranging from economics to the environment. The panel consisted of Nan Jokerst, professor of electrical and computer engineering; Scott Silliman, professor of the practice in the School of Law; Research Professor of Economics Gianni Toniolo and Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology Stuart Pimm. Bruce Jendeson, director of the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, moderated the discussion, which enumerated the problems and opportunities presented by the increasingly globalized world. In their remarks, each of the panelists singled out a particular challenge in their fields, with Jentieson and Silliman focusing on the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and the ensuing changes in international relations. “I think the lasting effect of that day was that foreign policy... became something that was [an everyday issue],” Jentieson said. “The great challenge we face is to deal with the Sept. 11 agenda and the Sept. 10 agenda.” Jokerst, a microsystems design expert, followed Jendeson and discussed the positive and negative potential for technology in the global age, focusing on the way in which techoology has and will continue to change the way we live. “Science and technology are pervasive in our lives,” she said. “Will we recognize ourselves in the future? Will we recognize our society? Will we recognize our government? Hopefully we will recognize our environment.” Jokerst cited the specific example of “smart dust”—tiny particles that can measure anything from barometric pressure to military movements—as an example of technology that can both help and challenge our society. Jokerst said this technology has limidess potential for tasks like curbing violent attacks, but it could conceivably present a problem in terms of invading civil liberties. ‘Where does societal security end and personal privacy start?” she asked. Silliman followed up in a similar vein, claiming that legal precedents are ill-equipped to handle the change from previous wars —governed by nation-states—to President George W. Bush’s more decentralized war on terrorism. “The events of the last several years have virtually outstripped the ability of the law to deal with them,” he said. Silliman said the current American doctrine of preemption could be turned back against it, and America must be conscious of the global impact of the precedents it sets. Toniolo emphasized the role of universities like Duke in addressing global problems by emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and pragmatic grounding like language education. He called “the understanding gap” between trade partnership and true comprehension of other cultures the main economic problem in the age of globalization. “We must produce professionals, specialists who also have the intellectual capacity to grasp the effects of their own techniques,” Toniolo said. Pimm, the conference’s final speaker, echoed Jokerst’s concern about the rapidly changing global environment. After discussing such specific issues as the depletion of fisheries and global warming, Pimm dared Duke to produce leaders who can untangle the global challenges he and his fellow panelists had described. “Wouldn’t it be nice if a decade from now senior political leaders could [attain their position] not by never going to Europe, South America or China but by coming to Duke and learning about the world,” he said.

Scholars discuss global trade, culture issues by Tracy Ke THE CHRONICLE

In an era marked by a “globality of trade, traffic and transformation of various sorts,” what happens to culture? A distinguished panel of Duke scholars addressed this question Friday afternoon in the Bryan Center during a discussion on Globalization and Culture moderated by Anne Allison, chair of the Department of Cultural Anthropology. The panel was one of four held this weekend in honor of the inauguration of Richard Brodhead as Duke’s ninth president. A crowd of more than 60 people attended to listen as professors Ariel Dorfman, Henry Petroski, Richard Powell and Annabel Wharton presented on the issue. Dorfman, distinguished professor ofliterature and Latin American studies and a member of the American Academy ofArts and Sciences, focused on the asymmetry of power in the globalizing process. He noted that the atom bomb was a global phenomenon. “But there were those who cast the bomb, those who photographed the bomb and those who died under the bomb’s early light,” he said. He then flashed a picture of a young Chilean “street-urchin” wearing a Superman T-shirt onto a screen. “These children

who dream of escaping, flying away, upward mobility... are participating only as spectators,” he said. Dorfman also used this image of the Superman, juxtaposed next to the bottom echelon of the global marketplace, as an instance where the asymmetry of power could be used to help the powerless. For example, Christopher Reeves, the actor who portrayed Superman, lent his name to the cause of Chilean actors who were being persecuted by Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Reeves went to Chile to support the actors and helped prevent death threats on the actors from being carried out. This question ofpower differentials was further explored by Powell, John Spencer professor of art and art history. Using the film Le noir de... by Senegalese director Ousmane Sembene as the focal point of his discussion, Powell told the story of a young girl who left Senegal to work for a French couple in the Riviera but ended up committing suicide after finding herself trapped and culturally dislocated. The merits and challenges of the globalization of culture depend largely on where and who you are in the world,” Powell said. “This cultural jockeying in the SEE CULTURE ON PAGE 16

Brodhead to Duke:'l do' The folloiving are excerpts from President Richard Brodhead’s inaugural remarks. Distinguished guests, colleagues, students, friends, I thank you for joining me on this great day. Never having been inaugurated before, I didn’t know exactly what I was in for, but a stray remark gave me a clue. As you may know, I had a deep attachment to my former school, having spent my whole adult life there, and when the news broke that I was leaving, not everyone took it well. A student I knew put her dismay this way: “See, it was like Dean Brodhead was married to Yale-and now we learn that he’s leaving us for someone younger and more athletic.” To this I could only reply, Well, these things happen! And by the logic of her analogy, today we solemnize my new union. Let’s do it right. Do I, Richard, take you, Duke, to be my chosen life? I didn’t think it was right to laugh at a wedding. I do. Forsaking all others, will I do everything in my power to further the aims of this great university? I will. As we pursue these goals, will I work to promote the welfare of every member of the Duke community-every faculty member, student, librarian, lab or office worker, food server, every maintenance worker, every chaplain, every coach—every single person whose labor and devotion make this place thrive? Yes I will. Your people will be my people, and they already are. I’m grateful for your welcome and will do my part with energy, dedication and j0y.... Duke could have gone onto any number of inertial orbits but it never did. Instead, from generation to generation, it has been driven by the desire to be more than it has so far succeeded in becoming and to push toward the limit of what a great school could be. President Few and

ties (the best not least) played a role in reinforcing received social hierarchies, assuring that to those who had, much was given,

TIAN QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Brodhead addresses about 1,500people in the Duke Chapel, with hundreds more watching broadcasts.

Mr. Duke produced a high point in this history but the story did not end there. Each of my predecessors has presided over a raising of the sights. I come to this university in the conviction that, in Thoreau’s words, there is more day to dawn. I take this office with the idea that, together, we will write the next chapter in this school’s rise.... I was lured here by the spectacle of a school that has established itself at the top rank of research universities and professional schools but that habitually connects the pursuit of knowledge with the search for the social good. It’s my guess that our country is going to want schools, perhaps even require schools to have a character more like this in the future. If the public is to continue to fund inquiries largely unin-

telligible to the common understanding, and the progress of knowledge in our time would grind nearly to a halt if this support were lost, universities are going to need to become far less self-enclosed and self-absorbed, are going to need to take far greater pains to demonstrate the value of advanced research for men’s and women’s lives. As I assume the presidency of a school with this inspiring character, my role will be to build on its special strengths.... Going to such a college is one of the most valuable privileges our society affords. For that reason, as we strengthen this already-strong place, another part of our work must be to assure that this university stays wide open to every young person with the requisite talentand commitment. It was not so long ago that schools and universi-

and to those who didn’t have was denied the best means to advancement, a first-class education. The namesakes of this school were far more enlightened than many of their time, but Duke remained racially segregated until the 19605, and the first African-American undergraduates and medical students at Duke (I’ve met representatives of both groups) are people my exact age. (I myself attended a college that excluded women until 1969.) Through the work of men and women, many of them still alive, the high places ofAmerican education have been reconstructed from sites of exclusion and inequality into scenes of access and opportunity, and it is not time to stop that labor now. We need to make the whole of Duke, every school and every department and every office, a place of real and substantive opportunity—and as we do so, we need to make this a place not just of numerical demographic inclusiveness but of real mutual engagement, a community in which each of us will educate and be educated by every other..... My predecessors at Duke did not complete the work, and neither will I. But like them, I will embrace the work that awaits me here. This is the work of a great university: the struggle to expand the domain of human knowledge; the struggle to share that knowledge through education; and the struggle to put that knowledge to profound human use. On this the day of our union, I know that whatever I will achieve will be accomplished only with your partnership and help. Others have given us this great place. Let’s see what we can build.

Duke blanks Tigers, streak continues Dan Kapnick THE CHRONICLE

DAN RYAN/THE CHRONICLE

Freshman Spencer Wadsworth leaps into the arms of Paul Dudley after he scored the game-winning goal in Duke's 1-0victory over Clemson.

Freshman Spencer Wadsworth didn’t waste much time notching the first goal of his ACC career. Only 5:33 into Saturday night’s conference opener against Clemson, junior midfielder Danny Kramer collected the ball on the right side of the and sent a low cross to the near post, where Wadsworth poked it past the goalkeeper. The goal CLEMSON was all the cushion the DUKE stingy Duke defense needEd to beat the Tigers (3-2, 0-1 in the ACC) and extend the Blue Devils’ (7-0, 1-0) undefeated and unscored-upon streak to seven games. “We counterattacked really well,” said Wadsworth after the 1-0 win. “We got a cross and we did textbook runs, near post and far post, and I just finished it.” Duke’s strength was once again its unyielding defense. Goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge only had to make one save en route to his fifth shutout of the season. Sophomore Danny Miller repeatedly dispossessed the flashy Clemson forwards, and prevented them from obtaining scoring opportunities. “Every game we’re not taking anyone for granted,” Miller said. “Every time we’re saying that today we’re not going to let up any goals. Every time we’re saying that we’re going to battle together. We know every time we’re going to have to fight to earn that goose egg.” Even though the Duke defense was strong throughout the game, the final 20 minutes seemed an eternity as Clemson kept the ball in the offensive zone almost the entire time. The crowd of almost 900 collectively exhaled in the last few seconds of the game when the Clemson free kick from outside the 18-yard box was deflected away. “It’s just one game, but it’s a great start to the conference season,” said head coach John Rennie, whose team is in the midst of the longest shutout streak in program history. The Blue Devils suffocated the Tigers in the first half, allowing only two shots and dominating the midfield. Clemson appeared frustrated at the end of the first frame as its forwards turned to individual runs, aggressively taking on two or three Duke defenders at once. The Tigers seemed more composed after halftime, but they still picked up three yellow cards in the final 45 minutes. Saturday’s match was the first test ofACC competition for Duke’s highly touted freshman class, which passed with flying colors. Five freshmen started for the Blue Devils. In addition to Wadsworth’s goal, freshman Paul Dudley led Duke with four shots and Zachary Pope contributed to Duke’s defensive effort. The Blue Devil freshmen almost struck again 16 minutes into the second half, when Wadsworth pulled a few nifty moves around the Tiger defense and crossed the ball to Dudley, who barely missed on the header. “[ACC play] is physical —it’s a lot more physical than the other games,” Wadsworth said. “But, if we just play like we did tonight, we’ll do fine. I thought it was fun.” Rennie, however, cautioned that competition only gets more intense. “For a conference game that was not a real physical game. It was normal. It’s a batde. You’ve got to win the individual battles then you get the right to play. You’ll see a lot worse this year,” Rennie said.

“We did what we needed to do, we took care of details, playing much stronger today,” Bozman said. Beating top-10 teams in each of the past two weekends, Duke, after an early-season loss to No. 1 Michigan State, has regained the momentum that carried the team to the Final Four last season.

The Blue Devils will again be challenged next weekend against rival North Carolina, another ranked ACC opponent. “Every weekend is big, and [this weekend] is getting us all ready for our game next weekend against North Carolina, which is just a huge game for us,” Bozman said.

WOMEN'S SOCCER

McCluskey, defense propel Duke to title by

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

Returning from beautiful weather and a pair of shutouts in Hawaii, the women’s soccer team was unfazed by the pouring rain from Hurricane Ivan Friday night at Koskinen Stadium and pounded out a 3-0 win over Georgia. With shutout victories over the Bulldogs and Furman FURMAN 0 this weekend, the women’s soccer DUKE team (6-2) won both of its games GEORGIA in the Duke adidas Classic. This DUKE marks the first time since 1995 the Blue Devils have won their own tournament. However, Duke did not face No. 1 North Carolina and won the tournament by virtue of scoring totals. ‘That was one of our goals, to come and win our tournament,” said head coach Robbie Church after the team’s 7-0 victory over Furman Sunday. Leading the attack was senior Casey McCluskey, who beat the Bulldog’s offsides trap for a pair of breakaway goals. With 20 minutes left in the first half, Rebecca Moros sent a pass from beyond midfield, hitting McCluskey in stride. The senior then buried a shot in the right side of the net to give Duke a 1-0 lead. Eight minutes later, McCluskey received a similar pass from Carolyn Ford. With the Georgia goalie attacking the ball,

McCluskey head-faked and dribbled around the sliding goalie. Staring at an open net, McCluskey hesitated and placed the ball in the middle of the goal. “Sometimes the easiest goals are hard to make,” McCluskey said. “I wasn’t trying to do any moves, I was just really trying to focus on getting it into the goal.” Georgia forced nine Duke offsides by playing its defense forward, but Church said his team remained aggressive and that it played to the Blue Devils’ advantage. The Duke offense continued its relentless attack in the second half and added an insurance goal when Lorraine Quinn’s shot rebounded off the Bulldog’s keeper and Shelly Marshall slammed it into the net. Goalies Kate Straka and Allison Lipsher combined for only two saves as the Blue Devils’ defense thwarted the Bulldogs’ scoring drives. Duke came out Sunday against Furman aware that it had to score at least six times to top UNC’s eight-goal total. McCluskey again wasted no time and got the Blue Devils on the board by firing a shot from outside the 18-yard mark passed the outstretched goalie. Only five minutes later, she added her fourth goal of the tournament and sixth in her impressive streak of three straight two-goal games. Her second goal Sunday came on a brilliant pass from deep in the corner again from Moros. NE

aroundtheACC North Carolina shocks the Yellow Jackets With the seconds ticking away, Hilee Taylor scooped up a fumble and returned it 21 yards for a touchdown as time expired. North Carolina’s players spilled onto the field in celebration and piled on their teammate in the end zone. It was a fitting and unusual way to end a game in Kenan Stadium. M Jacque Lewis rushed for a career-high 161 yards and two touchdowns, while the Tar Heels’ beleaguered defense was surprisingly stingy in a 34-13 victory over Georgia Tech Saturday. Darian Durant had a 41-yard touchdown m pass to Adarius Bowman for the Tar Heels | j (2-1, 1-1 in the ACC), who rushed for 284 yards and found plenty of holes in Georgia Tech’s defense. But it was the Tar Heels’ defense—ripped last week in a loss at Virginia —that stole the show and helped North Carolina earn just its third home win since 2001. “We got a lot of confidence off this game,” said cornerback Jacoby Watkins, who had two interceptions. “We needed the confidence and we got it, and we just kept going with it.”(AP)

Ohio State squeaks by the Wolfpack Compared to the kick he made last week, these field goals were easy for Mike Nugent. He certainly made them appear that way.

If the snap is good and the hold is good, I feel I should do my job and kick it through.” The Buckeyes managed only 137 yards of offense 35 coming on their first drive—and converted only two of their 16 chances on third down. Lydell Ross carried 25 times for 51 yards, and Justin Zwick finished 10-of-21 for another 73. Four scoring drives covered 10 yards or less. ‘To come down here with a young team like we have versus a veteran team like what N.C.

Hokies flatten Blue Devils with 2nd quarter charge Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

After 10 minutes of football, Duke had sucked the life out of Lane Stadium. The disbelief started on Virginia Tech’s opening drive, when the Blue Devils’ defensive end Justin Kichen dropped back into coverage and picked off Brian Randall’s pass. The Hokies’ woes DUKE continued four plays 41 VA TECH later —on fourth-and-eight Duke lined up to kick, but punter Trey McDonald stunned the home team by completing a nine-yard pass to Andy Roland to keep Duke’s drive alive. Then, wideout Deon Adams ran a reverse 28 yards for a touchdown. When the Blue Devils forced Virginia Tech to go three-and-out on their ensuing possession, boos could be heard reverberating among the Hokie faithful. The first quarter belonged to Duke—unfortunately, the final three belonged to the home team. Virginia Tech (2-1, TO in the ACC) rolled to victory Saturday in Blacksburg, Va., and easily dispatched the Blue Devils (0-3, 0-1) by a 41-17 margin. The Duke offense never got started—the Blue Devils gained only 61 yards in the first half, and 197 yards overall. The Hokies, on the other hand, dominated the Duke defensive front, and racked up a total of 250

rushing yards. ‘We got beat by a better football today,” Duke head coach Ted Roof said. “I though we’ve been ready to play every week, but we have to continue to execute. It’s a game of momentum, and when momentum swing the other way, somebody has to make a play to get the momentum back in our favor, obviously that didn’t happen today.” The game got out of hand in the second quarter, when the Hokies scored three touchdowns and a field goal over the course of six possessions. Virginia Tech scored its first touchdown on the opening play of the quarter; with the Hokies on Duke’s 1-yard line, tailback Justin Hamilton leapt over the pile towards the goal line. Duke linebacker Giuseppe Aguanno met him in midair, but Hamilton rolled down into the endzone for a touchdown. Virginia Tech scored its second touchdown in equally dramatic fashion. With his team up 10-7 on Duke’s 34-yard line, Randall handed the ball off to wideout Richard Johnson on what appeared to be a standard reverse play. Instead of taking ball upfield, however, Johnson fired a bullet into the endzone, where Josh Hyman made a leaping touchdown grab between the two Blue Devils assigned to cover him. Randall ran unchecked over the Duke defense, and was Virginia Tech’s leading rusher with 93 yards earned on the ground. The Hokie quarterback escaped from numerous potential sacks, including a botched pitch play that turned into a 30-yard scramble right through the heart of the Blue Devil defense—Randall team

guaranteed.” Missed tackles were the Blue Devils’ Achilles heel. The Hokies earned more than 100 yards after contact. “We’ve got to make sure we tackle,” said Aguanno, who finished the game with nine tackles. “Plenty of times today we got to ball carrier and just missed tackles. Randall’s a great athlete and he’s going to make things happen, but when we’re there we have to make the plays.” Duke’s execution on the offensive end was equally poor. At the end of the first half, McDonald was the team’s leading passer and Adams was the team’s leading rusher. The Duke offensive line was unable to open holes for running backs Aaron Fryer and Justin Boyle, who averaged 2.7 and 2.6 yards per cany, respectively. The passing game also struggled. Senior Chris Dapolito completed 2-of-

8 passes Saturday, and sophomore Curt Dukes was forced into the quarterback position midway into the second quarter when starter Mike Schneider suffered a concussion on a third down scramble. Schneider’s injury only aggravated the burden felt by an offense that had already lost its starting running back, Cedric Dargan, and wide receivers, Senterrio Landrum and Deonto McCormick. Dukes was 3-for-10 in his first major stint behind center, and threw for his first touchdown in the final minute of the game on a fourth-and-11 pass down the left sideline where a streaking Jomar Wright hauled in the catch and took the ball 35 yards for the score. “During the course of a week there aren’t enough balls, there aren’t enough reps to get three quarterbacks ready,” Roof said. “[Dukes] came in and did some good things and provided some spark and some leadership, and that was good to see.” The Virginia Tech defense was too strong, too fast and too technically sound for the Blue Devils. “Things were just going their way,” Adams said. “They’re a great team. They have great defensive guys. They just made plays.”

Injured starters stall Duke offense by

Robert Samuel THE CHRONICLE

BLACKSBURG, Va. Literally and figuratively, Duke’s game against Virginia Tech showed the Blue Devils are a fragile unit.

From the start of the 2004 season, it was evident that Duke is not a deep team. The narrii* squad lost its four AllACC performers and anaiysis many other standouts to graduation, two of its best receivers by dismissal and arguably its most talented defensive player, Micah Harris, to a tragic death. In order to be successful, Duke could not lose players at key positions to injury. But the starting lineup for Duke’s matchup with Virginia Tech Saturday showed that wide receivers Senterrio Landrum and Deonto McCormick, running back Cedric Dargan, defensive end Phillip Alexander and comerback Kenneth Stanford all would sit out because of physical ailments. The injuries, which only mounted during the game, left the Duke offense struggling for first downs. A quick Virginia Tech attack compounded the problem, as the Blue Devils’ defense seemed to be constandy catching its collective breath. After a Justin Kitchen interception, a fake punt and a 28-yard touchdown run on a reverse by Deon Adams, Duke surprised many when it took a 7-0 lead into the start of the second quarter. But trick plays and fortunate turnovers would not unglue a disciplined team like the Hokies.

Unable to consistently complete passes due in part to the absence of Duke’s top receivers, the Blue Devils were forced to rely heavily on the run. To make matters worse, quarterback Mike Schneider left the game with a concussion in the second quarter after being sandwiched by 210pound linebacker Aaron Rouse and 240pound linebacker Vince Hall. Duke had to depend on the weaker arms of Chris Dapolito and Curt Dukes to man its passing attack. But without Dargan and a passing game to free running room, the Blue Devils’ game on the ground stalled as well. These circumstances created the conditions for an offensive nightmare. After the initial touchdown, the Blue Devils only marshaled two more opening-half first downs one from a penalty and one from a quarterback sneak during the halfs final —

minute. Duke had 49 first-half yards compared to Virginia Tech’s 141. By halftime Adams, despite onlytouching the ball once, led the Blue Devils in rushing with 28 yards; punter Trey McDonald, of all people, led the Blue Devils with nine passing yards after the fake punt, and Dapolito had only added three yards to Duke’s total in the air. The offensive woes, in turn, took their toll on the defense. After shutting out the Hokies in the first quarter, the Blue Devils’ numerous three-and-outs did not allow much time for the already depleted defensive unit to get off the field. With the Hokies’ offense controlling the first-half time of possession, the Duke defense slowly wore down as tackling became less and less precise. Never was this more evident than at the end of the first half when Virginia Tech quarterback Bryan Randall

forced six missed tackles on his way to a 30-yard touchdown. “You’ve got to tip your hat to Bryan Randall,” Kitchen said. “His run was a great run. You put a great athlete in that situation where you’re missing tackles, he’s going to make something happen 10 out of 10 times.” Despite its difficulties, the Blue Devils’ defense did not place any blame on the offense. No matter how much the offense puttered, the unit still felt responsible for stopping the Hokies’ attack. “This isn’t an offense-defense thing,” linebacker Giuseppe Aguanno said. “Our job is to hold them to less points than the offense scores. If the offense goes out and scores seven points then we have to hold them to six. As a defense, you want to be out there and you look for the challenge.” Duke head coach Ted Roof did not use the medical card as away out either. “I’m not going to use injuries as an excuse,” Roof said. “I would have liked to have had all our players healthy and ready to go, but that’s football.” Any coach worth his salt would have had a similar response. Roofs attitude showed an unwillingness to constantly point to factors outside of the team’s control to rationalize the loss. If a team cannot successfully pass the ball because the squad’s best quarterback and two best receivers are injured and if Duke cannot run the ball because its best rusher is out, the team will not win many—if any—games. For Duke to achieve any progress in 2004, it must get healthy. If it doesn’t, this will be another lost season in Durham.

International Car-Cut Cay Wednesday, September 22 Participate In This Week’s Events:

Trailing by as many as seven points in its second game versus College of Charleston, Duke (9-2) launched an exciting comeback, allowing the Blue Devils to extend their winning streak to nine games. The victory over the home team Cougars (74) Saturday was the final win a threematch sweep of the College of Charleston Tournament. Earlier Duke beat East Carolina and Georgia State, each in straight games. ‘The team is playing really steady right now,” said head coach Jolene Nagel, who earned her 100th victory at Duke when the Blue Devils DUKE topped College of Charleston. “It’s been a total team effort as C of C opposed to individuals. The girls have a really great team attitude.” DUKE The Blue Devils took on a highly charged Cougars team, GA STATE which entered the game with a seven-game winning streak. Duke DUKE took the first game easily, but ECU College of Charleston capitalized on the home court advantage to stay ahead of Duke for nearly half the second game. The momentum changed when Nagel called a timeout, after which the Blue Devils surged ahead to produce another win. Duke went on to take the third game 30-23 to complete the sweep. “We got through some problems with communication in the second game and were able to continue to be aggressive,” Nagel said. “I was really pleased with the girls’ efforts.” Freshman Carrie DeMange lead the offense with 21 kills in the match. Junior Tiffany Perry and senior Tassy Rufai also offered major contributions, each tallying 10 kills. Seniors Stephanie Istvan, Erin Noble and Rufai were the backbone of a solid defense, helping to hold the Cougars to a low .234 hitting percentage. Duke began the weekend strong with back-to-back victories over East Carolina (6-7) and Georgia State (S-9). The Blue Devils’ clean play proved to be the decisive factor in the match, as Duke committed only three errors while the Tigers Pirates’ 18 miscues. Duke also took out Georgia State in three straight games, during which the Blue Devils never trailed the Panthers. The Duke offense was nearly untouchable, aided by 11 service aces in the match. Duke also demonstrated the depth of its team, as all 14 players competed for the first time this season. “It’s nice to know that we can make some adjustments and still have a comparable team effort,” Nagel said of the decision to use so many players in the Georgia State match. Duke returns home to play North Carolina in its first ACC matchup of the season 7 p.m. Tuesday in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Although the Blue Devils will face the Tar Heels twice this season, only this first match will count for the ACC standings. “[The players] have been bringing it to every match, and if we continue to bring the mental component of our game to back up the physical part, we should do really well in our ACC season,” Nagel said.

CROSS COUNTRY

Blue Devils dash to easy win out West Ryan Pertz THE CHRONICLE

The women’s cross country team breezed by the competition this weekend at the Aztec Invitational. In the Blue Devils’ first ever appearance at the 16-team San Diego, Calif., race, Duke scored 18 points, only three shy of a perfect showing. Ranked No. 20 going into the meet, the Blue Devils will likely be rated higher when the new polls come out after beating a consistent national powerhouse, No. 15 Northern Arizona, in dominant fashion. Led by the one-two punch of juniors Shannon Rowbury and Sally Meyerhoff, Duke took six of the top 10 spots in the meet. Rowbury finished the course in 17:03, easily capturing first place and posting the eighth fastest time in the 60-year history of the meet. “Shannon’s performance was truly spectacular, a real eye-opener for everyone watching,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “She’s establishing herself as one of the top runners in the country.” Rowbury and Meyerhoff ran the majority of the 5-kilometer race together, with Rowbury pulling away after the two-mile marker. Meyerhoff posted one ofher best collegiate races, finishing second overall with a time of 17:29, 31 seconds ahead of the third place finisher. While the two Blue Devil juniors were way ahead of the pack, the rest of the field was more competitive. Going into the final 100 meters, Duke had runners in all of the top five spots. Southern Utah’s Alisha Bezanson spoiled the Blue Devils’ perfect finish when she came from 20 meters behind to outkick junior Natasha Roetter and senior Phoebe Ko. The two placed fourth and fifth, respectively, followed by Ali Henderson, Duke’s final scorer in the meet. “Phoebe Ko had a breakthrough race, the best in her collegiate career,” Jermyn said. “We have a more experienced team thisyear, and they’re training and racing with a much greater sense of purpose and urgency.” Sophomore Lindsay Van Alstine rounded out the Blue Devils’ top-10 finishers, crossing the tape in eighth place. During the final leg of the race, she failed to surge ahead ofCal Coast TC’s Brooke Thomas but was able to hold off two other runners. The Blue Devils have faced some top competition early in the season and the team has proven it belongs in the top 25. Duke accomplished all this without a healthy lineup—last year’s top performer, Paige Miller, did not race because of a sore calf. “We’re beating teams we’ve never beat in the history of our program, feeling ahead of where we’d hoped [to be] going into the season,’’Jermyn said. ‘We’re in the position to have the best season ever.”

Freshman Lorraine Quinn and the Duke offense scored seven goals against Furman Sunday,after tallying three against Georgia Friday.

WOMEN'S SOCCER Five other Duke players—Moros, Heidi Hollen-

beck, Carolyn Riggs, Marshall and Katie Roark—also added goals as the team barraged the Furman goalie with 31 shots. The most spectacular goal came on Shelly Marshall’s corner kick. Eluding all Duke and Furman players, the ball flew passed the onlookers and sliced into the far corner of the net. “I was trying to get it to the back post and it sailed right in,” Marshall said. “We practice them a lot and to be able to finish them off in a game is really rewarding.” With its 3-0 and 7-0 shutouts, five Duke players—Me-

Cluskey, Marshall, Moros, Kate Seibert, and Carmen Bognanno—made the All-Toumament team and McCluskey was named MVP. “This was an amazing way to finish my Duke adidas Classic as a senior,” said McCluskey, who moved into third on Duke’s all time scoring list and is now four shy of second position. Church said McCluskey’s recent offensive spurt will be noticed when his team begins ACC play, and he thinks that opponents are “really going to clamp down on Casey.” He also said that the attention will open up scoring opportunities for other players, as it did against Furman, The Blue Devils will play one more out of conference game against Davidson Friday before playing nine ACC games starting with a contest at Wake Forest Sunday.

INAUGURATION from page 1 great by virtue of its faculty, and an aspiring university will always be adding to the company of great minds.” As part of that mission, he said, Duke must seek out scholars whose love of their subjects compels them to teach. He also sought to include undergraduates in the research at the University. Scholarship ought to be relevant to the world, he said, encouraging Duke to extend its interdisciplinary scholarship to include finding solutions for community and global problems. “What we get in return, beside the satisfaction ofcitizenship, is the education that flows back to theory from practice: the learning that arises when theoretical intelligence is tested in the arena of real human need,” he said. Brodhead added that the University is particularly well positioned to pioneer this approach in the field of global health. The University’s impending construction projects, such as the rebuilding of Central Campus and student spaces on West Campus, ought to “support the richest forms of communal life,” he said. A Duke education, which costs nearly $40,000 a year, also must remain attainable for all who are qualified, Brodhead said. As part of increasing access he encouraged greater advertisement of the University’s needblind financial aid policy. He suggested that Duke’s primary fundraising in the upcoming years will be directed at building financial aid’s endowment. “Recruiting the support to assure that this school never closes its doors to a worthy applicant will be a project especially dear to my heart,” he said. Brodhead’s palpable enthusiasm for the future carried over into the audience, and his remarks repeatedly drew smiles and whispers from attendees. More than 150 delegates from other universities joined faculty, students and a slew of invited guests, including presidents emeriti Douglas Knight, Keith Brodie and Nan Keohane, as attendees. Keohane, who returned to campus for the first time since she stepped down from the presidency, welcomed the audience, which included many watching the speech live over the Internet and on Cable 13. Representatives from the students, alumni, faculty, church and community officially greeted Brodhead and challenged him to propel Duke beyond its current status —a dare all suggested he began when he took office July 1. Reynolds Price, James B. Duke professor of English, read an original poem about Brodhead so laudatory that the new president sat blushing and shaking his head through much of it. Brodhead smiled and joked as Peter Nicholas, chair of the Board of Trustees, and University Marshal Richard White draped the chain of office around his neck. A gold medallion bearing the Seal of Duke dangled from the four-foot long, sterling silver chain that serves as the symbol of the University’s president. As Gregory Jones, dean of the Divinity School, offered the prayer of installation, Brodhead fiddled with the chain and exchanged glances with members of his family, who were seated in the front row. There was no hint of nervousness, however, when Brodhead spoke, committing to Duke in an academic version of marriage vows. “Do I, Richard, take you, Duke, to be my chosen life?” he asked. “I do.”

PARTY from page 1 good,” freshman David Wagner said. Those attending the ball said the music created an irresistible atmosphere, and Brodhead himself danced the night away with his wife Cynthia, celebrating his first evening as the official president of Duke University. As the night was winding down, the Duke University Improv emcees tweaked one ofBrodhead’s Yale speeches and informally bequeathed the University to him in his own words. ‘This place, Duke, is yours now. Come get the good of it,” senior Rob Painter said. They then presented Brodhead with a game of Chutes and Ladders. “During your presidency here there will be many chutes, but we are certain that there will always be a ladder nearby,” senior Jeremy Chapman said. Brodhead accepted with a grin. “They have no idea

how good I am at this game,” he said. Most of the students who attended had not gone to the other inauguration events over the weekend and came to the ball just for the fun, for the dancing, or for the freelyflowing supply ofalcohol. Wine and beer were free for students over 21, and the plastic cups and glasses were a permanent fixture in most people’s hands. However, the carding did not stop underclassmen from attending; they said they had a good time simply dancing and taking in the swank atmosphere. ‘There’s really good food and good decorations. It’s amazing,” sophomore Liz Williams said. Duke has not organized a formal dance in decades, and this first one left a good impression on those who went. Students who attended said they thought the dance was something that could be implemented as a more frequent event on campus. “It’s a very nice change from the normal college atmosphere,” freshman Maggie Abernathy said.

GLOBAL HEALTH from page 3 thing that is applicable to them,” he said. James Joseph, professor of public policy and former U.S. ambassador to South Africa, said U.S. organizations are often too steeped in their own ideas for aid to be as beneficial as it could be. ‘There is a tendency to respond through our cultural whims rather than through the local cust* ns of the country,” he said. That sentiment was echoed by Dr. Barton Haynes, director of the Human Vaccine Institute. He emphasized the need to collaborate with developing countries to produce health care delivery systems palatable to the country. He also emphasized the role universities, which are not profit-focused, must play in researching drugs useful to the developing world. The discussion was momentarily interrupted when Claude Allen, deputy secretary ofhealth and human services for the United States, made an unannounced appear-

ance at the panel to present the first installment of an $8.5 million grant for heart disease research. Brodhead, who was one of more than 90 people listening, welcomed Allen, Law ’9O, with his traditional humor as he accepted an oversized check. “Come often,” he quipped. Allen then joined the academics, voicing how crucial global health is to national security because it promotes stable governments. He cautioned panelists, however, not to abandon entirely the American methods of research and health care delivery. “Yes, we must have partners on the ground,” he said, “but they must be willing to work with us.” The various disciplines represented on the panel will all play a role as Duke forges further into the implications of global health, Provost Peter Lange said in his opening remarks. But he noted that Dzau’s recent arrival at Duke would lead the discussion. “Victor’s presence here is making a real difference in how we’re going to put the pieces together,” he said.

aries.” To illustrate this he described how as early as the Creation story in the Bible, God suppressed curiosity and intellectual freedom in Adam and Eve by forbidding them from eating fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Before winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, Soyinka was imprisoned for two years by the Nigerian government in the late 1960s for making sympathetic statements to the secessionist Biafran territory against which the government was waging a war, During his imprisonment he was held in solitary confinement for 15 months, an experience that is reflected in his later works, which were often satirical criticisms directed at corrupt African leaders. Soyinka’s most well-known works include the plays The Lion and the Jewel, The Trial ofBrother Jero, The Bacchae of Euripides, the novel The Interpreters, various literary essays and an autobiographical account of his time spent in prison.

SOYINKA from page 6 United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, he said, are hindered by terrorist groups that commit violent acts under the banner of freedom. To illustrate the unfinished struggle he focused much of the latter half of his lecture on denouncing the tactics and religious justifications used by Chechen rebels who held a school full of children hostage in Beslan, Russia. When asked in a question-and-answer session about how a university should promote freedoms within its community, Soyinka said, “Universities should be a microsociety within society. A university has a responsibility to expose all students to the entire spectrum of political thinking, hot to preach one against another.” Soyinka’s lecture also touched on his belief that “discovery is the antithesis of boundaries, and power loves bound-

The group reviewed its interim report for Gov. Mike Easley and defined its goals for upcoming meetings, during which they will work on proposed revisions to the laws. In January, they will present their recommended changes to DWI laws to the North Carolina General Assembly. During the field sobriety demonstration, A1 Eisele, director of the task force’s Forensic Tests for Alcohol Branch, introduced the state’s new breathalyzer equipment: the Intoxilyzer 500. He also showed off “The Batmobile,” the mobile unit the DWI enforcement personnel use. According to current North Carolina law, a driver under the age of 21 that has any traces of alcohol or drugs in his system can be charged with a class two misdemeanor. A driver can also be charged with a misdemeanor if there are any open containers of alcohol in his vehicle.

the past year, members of the task force

agreed that the high numbers of DWI cita-

tions in North Carolina and across the nation should be a concern to everyone. They did not, however, put forward any new recommendations for curbing underage alcohol consumption. Their main priority has been to encourage student awareness of alcohol effects and to give them the knowledge to make informed decisions. Duke requires freshmen to complete an online alcohol course, AlcoholEdu. Although the University takes the same approach to education advocated by the task force, many students have questioned AlcoholEdu’s effectiveness. “I seriously doubt it changed anybody’s mind about [alcohol],” freshman Margaret Morales said.

Other attendees appreciated what Bhagwati identified as an “unbiased” analysis of the globalization debate, which he attributed to the fact that he has never consulted with a corporation or been a member of a corporate board. “I think he gave a very balanced account.

Referencing Brodhead’s new book, The Good of This Place, which was oft-quoted by the group, Allen said, “With the good of this place—Duke University and all of its people and all of its parts, coupled with our youthfulness, vision, creativity, flexibility and so on, the possibilities are endless.” —

STUDY from page 8 and co-investigator for the study, noted that the data gathered during the preliminary study will be used for procedural purposes only. ‘We are making sure we can collect this data—no actual test will be done,” Dolor said. “In the main study, they will be looking for and doing a variety of tests.” The entire National Children’s Study will begin in one to two years depending on the results from this pilot study. Preliminary results from the first years could be released as soon as 2008, according to the study’s website. Researchers will use the data collected in the full study to better understand and

improve children’s well-being—a statistic some experts say has languished in the last few decades. According to the Child Well-Being Index, created by Kenneth Land, John Franklin Crowell professor of sociology at Duke, children’s well-being has increased only slightly since 1975. Other primary care practice-based research networks chosen for the project include the Great Lakes Research and Practice Network in Michigan, L.A. Net in California, the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians, the Oregon Rule Practice Space Research Network and the Rainbow Office-based Clinical Research Network in Ohio. The New York Presbyterian Research Network will be a backup clinic in case patient sample size at the six centers is smaller than expected.

SERBIA from page 2 The election—the first since Milosevic was ousted in 2000—was seen as a crucial step in building a Serbian democracy after years of isolation with the former president. But strong gains by Milosevic’s nationalist loyalists would likely slow down Serbia’s reforms and undermine Belgrade’s plans to establish closer ties with the European Union and NATO. Reformist President Boris Tadic remained optimistic, saying “the results of these elections will confirm our stable path toward the EU and NATO.” Tadic added that the elections are “extremely important because they will show which way our country wants to take.” Leading pre-election surveys have put Tadic’s Democratic Party in an even race with nationalist Serbian Radical Party loyal to Milosevic. The polls predicted that the Democrats would keep the post, of Belgrade mayor in the runoff vote but that the Radicals could sweep the rural and poor areas which are their traditional strongholds. “We will be the single strongest party almost everywhere in Serbia,” declared Tomislav Nikolic, deputy leader of the Radicals. ...

the world are now in Asia. And although they were designed by American architects and driven by American engineering, their themes are distinctly Muslim or Chinese. But the idea of globalization as a positive force, as reflected in architecture, was not wholeheartedly echoed by Wharton, William B. Hamilton professor of art and art history. Juxtaposing the Dome of the Rock museum in Jerusalem, in which the architecture draws heavily upon the site, with Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, Wharton pointed out the fragmentary and dislocated nature of Gehry’s work. “The Guggenheim is a museum version of McDonald’s,” Wharton said. “It could have been built anywhere.”

CULTURE from page 9 world does not protect people from losses—foreign talents that might otherwise be placed in service to one’s own people and nation.” Petroski, Aleksander S. Vesic professor of civil engineering and history, looked at the cross-fertilization of ideas in engineering, noting that the design of buildings and bridges is a global process. Engineers are driven by the prospect of designing the biggest, tallest or longest in the world, but ideas are shared across borders. For example, the Sydney Harbor Bridge is almost an exact copy of the Hellgate Bridge in New York. Furthermore, the tallest buildings in

The elections are the first held under a new law granting more self-rule to the local communities, contrasting Milosevic-era laws that concentrated most powers in Belgrade. The Radicals ruled together with Milosevic and were badly defeated along with the former president in 2000. They, however, regained strength, appealing with their populist policies to those Serbs frustrated with lack of improvement in their everyday lives. One Radicals’ supporter, 48-year-old taxi driver Darko Stojanovic, said he expected the party to help Serbia “regain its dignity.” Stojanovic accused the pro-Western leaders of turning Serbia into a Western “slave.” In central Belgrade, the reformists’ voters said that Serbia has no time to waste. ‘We must not let Milosevic’s people get back to power,” said 27-year-old engineer Slobodanka Rajic. Election officials reported no problems during the balloting. The turnout was reported at 34 percent.shrine after his government threatened to send a massive Iraqi force to root them out. Defying that ultimatum, al-Sadr sent a telephone text message vowing to seek “martyrdom or victory,” and his jubilant followers inside the shrine danced and chanted upon receiving the message. Later in the day, a top al-Sadr aide said the cleric had or-

dered his militia to relinquish control of the shrine where they have been for two weeks fighting Iraqi and U.S. forces. But in a letter shown by the Arab television station Al-Arabiya, al-Sadr said he would not disband his A1 Mahdi Army. Al-Sadr had said in recent days he wanted to make sure the shrine was in the custody ofreligious authorities, though it was unclear if the government would agree to that. The violence in the holy city between the insurgents and a combined U.S.-Iraqi force has angered many in Iraq’s Shiite majority and proven a major challenge to Allawi’s fledgling interim government as it tries to build credibility and prove it is not a U.S. puppet. Any raid to oust militants from the Imam Ali shrine especially one that damaged the holy site —could spark a far larger Shiite uprising. Government accusations that militants have mined the shrine compound and reports that women and children were among those inside could further complicate a raid. Some in die compound were “dancing and cheering,” a CNN journalistreported from inside the shrine, where journalists were escorted with help from the Iraqi government, the U.S. military and al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army. ‘They are all very proud to be in here and seem to be very adamant about staying in here,” CNN reporter Kianne Sadeq said. —

The new black America

the disease of racial consciousness. A consciousness with which non-blacks never have to deal: a profound understanding that blacks and whites will never be equal, a recognition that we must constantly grapple with racial hyper-analysis—being conditioned by whites (and, in turn, everyone else) over centuries to see race even when one does not want to. “My story is about man against himself,” Blausaid in a talk at Winston-Salem State University last week. Indeed, such has always been the story for black America. On the other side of the black spectrum, we have Barack Obama. Keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention, presumptive winner of the Illinois Senate race, perhaps soon-to-be the first legitimate black candidate to run for the nation’s highest public office, Obama has resonated with a wide array of Americans. However, there are some com-

colors. The character is shielded from the truth by fellow KKK members, who assert that he’s “too important to the movement.” Besides, they add, if he knew he’d probably kill himself. Chappelle introduces the sketch by commenting how a black friend thought the piece set black people back a few hundred years. With a bold, defiant “Sorry!” Chappelle continues with the show. What makes ChappeUe great is his ability to target the absurdity of race in America, obliterating boundaries that our academics, journalists and politicians are wary to cross. In a society that wants to believe deeply how individual we all are, the only way to escape these arbitrary yet pernicious categorizations is to embrace them wholeplications.

Brodhead wrong on PSM X A Then President Richard Brodhead announced %/% /

his decision to allow the 2004 Palestine Solidar-

� ity Movement conference at Duke, he called it an “easy” one. Last week, he heard three big reasons why it shouldn’t have been. �

First, it’s now clear that the views expressed at the conference will be of the most hateful and offensive nature possible. As the Duke Conservative Union’s Sept. 14 advertisement in The Chronicle revealed, previous PSM speakers have publicly advocated suicide bombing, attacks against civilians and terrorism. The PSM’s reaction to the DCU ad was revealing —spokesperson Fayyad Sbaihat dismissed his own speakers’ quotations as having been “taken out of context.” One wonders if Brodhead has inquired as to the proper context of statements like: “Why is there something particularly horrible about ‘suicide bombing’—except for the extreme dedication conveyed in the resistance fighter's willingness to use his or her own body to fight?,” as last year’s original conference organizer Charlotte Kates told a journalist last year. Second, Brodhead should now know that the PSM conference will stifle free speech. According to reporter Lee Kaplan, last year’s conference-goers were searched with metal detectors. Last week, Kaplan said that a Duke administrator told him the University won’t prevent the PSM from doing the same this year. So far, no one from Duke has challenged Kaplan’s reporting nor explained how ' bcanning —ordir vderecording vices could contribute to the “dialogue” the 95? PSM conference was Sr supposed to foster. Ben Rubinfeld then voiced the third cntiasm of the psm na than carleton when he identified it as the student arm of P°^ er the International Solidarity Movement; an organization that recruits American students to work as human shields for Palestinian terrorist organizations. The links between the PSM and ISM are undeniable. For one, ISM co-founder Adam Shapiro spoke at the 2002 PSM conference, where participants formalized support for the ISM. And it’s also worth nothing that local PSM spokesman Rann Bar-On, a graduate student in mathematics, was identified on the syllabus for the Duke House Course “NonviolentActivism in Israel & Palestine” as an “ISM activist.” Sbaihat’s earlier claim that there is “no link” between the PSM and the ISM is an outright falsehood. Even the section on Duke’s website set up to defend the conference calls the PSM and ISM “related.” That Duke would sanction a PSM conference knowing this is shocking, for the ISM’s stated purpose in recruiting Americans to risk their lives overseas is publicity. As ISM co-founder George Rishmawi has said: “When Palestinians get shot by Israeli soldiers, no one is interested anymore. But if some of these foreign volunteers get shot or even killed, then the international media will sit up and take notice.” Brodhead has responded to every criticism of the PSM conference the same way. He has abstractly discussed “free speech” and “dialogue” and implied that those challenging his decision support censorship. This response is neither logical nor appropriate. Just nine days ago, Brodhead condemned terrorism and violence around the world during remarks at the Sept 11 memorial. He can certainly do the same with a group whose speakers advocate terrorism and murder and won’t condemn suicide bombings. Moreover, Brodhead’s own words contradict his above-the-fray stance. Consider his response to Tuesday’s DCU ad: “The deepest principle involved is not even the principle of free speech. It’s the principle of education through dialogue.” By drawing a distinction between the legal right of “free speech” and the supposed good of “education through dialogue,” Brodhead has already made a value judgment about the PSM conference. In short, he is not just allowing the conference to take place, he is supporting it If he is authorized to publicly support something, then he is certainly authorized to publicly oppose it The concept of “dialogue” has become a red herring in this debate. Not only is it acceptable for a University president to take a stand against a group this deviant, it is necessary. Brodhead should have never approved the PSM conference in the first place, and he owes it to the entire Duke community to denounce it.
