Roof seeks attendance Mike Van Pelt and Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

When the Athletic Department organized a Thursday night pep rally in the Great Hall, officials thought the event would be the beginning of renewed student support for the football team. But so few students attended the rally that organizers had to tell head coach Ted Roof and his players to stay home. “I didn’t want to make them do this,” said Bart Smith, director of promotions for the Athletic Department, as he bemoaned the poorly-attended event. “There is nobody here.” In recent years, students’ interest in football has revolved more around the tailgating atmosphere that exists in the parking lots than around the games themselves. Last season, the main student tailgating area was often packed with as many as 1,000 people, many of whom never entered the stadium. Beginning with Saturday’s matchup against Maryland, the Athletic Department is making a major push to boost student attendance at home football games by reaching out to the student body and employing a myriad of promotions. “Overall [students] like the tailgating area,” Smith said. “The idea was to just help encourage them to come into the game once we start it.” Roof himself is spearheading part of the effort to increase attendance and involvement. In a rare e-mail to the entire undergraduate student body, Roof urged students to attend the game and support the team. ‘We’ve been talking to a lot of groups

Delegates from the nine established sororities at Duke picked Zeta Tau Alpha over the other two finalists as the 10th chapter in Duke’s Panhellenic Association. The sorority received six votes; Kappa Delta received two votes and Sigma Kappa received one vote. The representatives’ vote matched the recommendations made by the Panhel extension committee Sept. 16 in a presentation for chapter presidents and delegates. “It was a really hard decision to make, but I would say that [Zeta] stood out because... we felt they would do anything in their power to make their chapter successful here,” said Panhel President Jessica Chilson, a senior. Both Chilson and Assistant Dean of Students Andrea Caldwell praised Zeta for its strong dedication to new member orientation. In addition Chilson praised Zeta for having a very strong colonization plan, being extremely enthusiastic about starting a chapter at Duke and having a really strong alumnae base in the area. National and local Zeta representatives will return to campus in November to publicize the sorority through a public relations campaign and to familiarize themselves with both the Duke and greek communities. In the spring the chapter will participate in the first round of formal recruitment with the other nine sororities.

Palestinians kill 3 at Israeli army post by

Ibrahim Barzak

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAZA CITY Three Palestinians made their way into a heavily fortified Israeli army post in the Gaza Strip under cover of morning fog Thursday and started shooting, killing three Israeli soldiers in a 45minute firelight. Two attackers were killed soon afterward, but a third hid near the post for several hours before firing on journalists inspecting the scene, wounding an Israeli newspaper reporter in the leg. The infiltration came as Israeli forces wrapped up an operation in a nearby Gaza refugee camp amid signs of increasing ten-

sions and violence ahead of Israel’s planned withdrawal from Gaza next year. The earth-and-concrete outpost guards the isolated setdement of Morag in the southeast comer of Gaza. Taking advantage of heavy fog, Palestinians slipped unnoticed into the post at about 6 a.m. and opened fire, killing an Israeli officer and two soldiers and critically wounding another soldier, the military said. Soldiers fired back, killing two intruders. The shootout lasted about 45 minutes, said Nissim Bracha, a Morag resident. A third Palestinian managed to hide near the base for several hours, waiting until journalists arrived for a briefing from

an army commander—standard practice after such an attack. The Palestinian then opened fire, wounding a reporter for the Yediot Ahronot daily in the thigh. The intruder was killed during the ensuing 30-minute shootout. In a phone call to The Associated Press, three groups claimed joint responsibility for the attack. The caller said the intruders were from Islamic Jihad, the Popular Resistance Committees—an umbrella group of Palestinian factions—and the Ahmed Abu El-Rish Brigades, a group with ties to Yasser SEE GAZA ON PAGE 10

Haitians panic, struggle to bury the dead by Amy Bracken THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GONAIVES, Haid Hungry, thirsty and increasingly desperate residents attacked each other in a panic to get scarce food and water Thursday as workers struggled to bur)' hundreds of corpses six days after the city was struck by Tropical Storm Jeanne. More than 1,100 were killed and 1,250 are missing, and the toll is rising. The storm left 250,000 homeless in Haiti’s northwest province, which includes the port of Gonaives. Health workers feared an epidemic of disease in the country’s third-largest city from the unburied dead, overflowing raw sewage, lack of potable water and infections from injuries. Some people already were falling ill. Police erected barbed wire around their station Thursday after shots were fired at the station overnight. Most of the police also

Their helplessness enraged residents, who have started throwing rocks at the few riot police the government sent in to help. “We were saved from the floods, but now my baby is sick,” said Marflucie Fortune, 30, who gave birth to a son last weekend, as Jeanne pounded Haiti with torrential rain for 30 hours. Jeanne has since become a hurricane, churning toward the Bahamas with 105 mph winds and a track that forecasters say could lead to Florida this weekend.

Provost Peter Lange took center stage for much of the Academic Council’s first meeting of the year Thursday, fielding a spirited question about the iPods distributed to freshmen and delivering the annual report of the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure Committee. Recipients of the Faculty Scholar Award were also in the limelight. Candidates for tenure, whether potential hires or within the current ranks of the University’s faculty, must face the scrutiny of APT in addition to the reviews conducted by the provost and their respective departments. Over the past year APT considered 14 candidates from among the University’s current faculty and rejected only three. Following reassessment by Lange, 13 ultimately received tenure. “That will seem like an extremely high number,” Lange said, but he explained that a “selection bias” was operating. A smaller than usual number ofcandidacies were under review, in part because of the withdrawal or rejection of several candidates earlier in the tenure process. Tenure-track faculty must come under review within seven years of beginning their work at the University, and they must attain a high standard of achievement in research and scholarship to merit the recognition and job security that tenure provides. APT, individual departments and Lange share the responsibility for maintaining this standard. Lange expressed his approval of the more active role that departments took last year. “There were five negative department decisions,” he said, adding that the number of departmental rejections was higher than it has been in SEE COUNCIL ON PAGE

Campus Council mulled an impending campus-wide survey to assess residential life at its meeting Thursday. The survey, coordinated by Nicole Manley, assistant dean of students, will collect data to help Campus Council form policy. “We put a new emphasis on looking at the type of experience you have residentially,” Manley said. “We want it to be very simple—nothing more than 25 or 30 questions.” Manley added that the results of the questionnaire will not be published, owing to restrictions on releasing data from research involving human subjects at Duke.

To Alan Rosenkranz, a Florida native, it was a miracle that he could take his 8-yearold granddaughter on a nip to New York City this past summer. Doctors did not have much hope for Rosenkranz’s recovery from renal cell cancer. But Duke University Health System doctors came to Rosenkranz’s rescue with a new treatment for his cancer of the kidneys —vaccine therapy, which the Food and Drug Administration approved just a few months ago. The idea of a cancer vaccine is not new, but it has only recently been successful. Once doctors remove a tumor from the patient, they extract white blood cells from it and collect RNA samples. A vaccine is then prepared from the patient’s own genetic makeup that is designed to specifically target only that patient’s cancer cells. The antibodies in the vaccine destroy the patient’s immune system and as a result, more effective lymphocytes are created to replace the old ones. The patient’s immune system adopts the new donor immune system, which doctors hope will destroy any new growth of tumor cells. “We are really optimistic about the benefits of this procedure,” said Dr. David Rizzieri, associate professor of medicine. “We can more safely provide a new immune system and manipulate it withoutall the toxic side effects ofother methods.” Duke doctors began looking into alternative treatments to battle cancer after observing the toxic effects of traditional radiation and chemotherapeutic agents and the stress on the body from

Rosenkranz recalls his experience with toxic treatments—bioimmunotherapy infusions—that only resulted in minimal reduction of the tumor. ‘You were freezing inside and out. Your blood pressure dropped to 50/30,” he said. “It was just like being dead.” For patients who are not strong enough to endure these approaches, vaccine therapy offers them a new opportunity to get better. “It is gratifying to deal with patients who have no other hope,” said Dr. Johannes SEE VACCINE ON PAGE 6

Rebecca Friedman THE CHRONICLE

Duke students reluctant to pay the $7 for movie tickets and organize carpools to the local cineplex no longer need to look past their own backyard for some screen satisfaction. The Screen/Society, presented by the Program in Film-Video-Digital, showcases films from across the globe that usually cost little more than time. Despite its convenient and financially attractive aspects, the Screen/Society, which graduate students founded in 1991, has often been sparsely attended and overlooked. The development of the group into a professionally-run organization as well as its increased publicity and on-campus faculty awareness in recent years, however, has brought the Screen/Society a new following. “The Screen/Society was started by students who wanted to show outrageous programming,” said Jane Gaines, co-founder of the group, director of the Program in Film-Video-Digital and professor of literature and English. “Now we’ve established ourselves by showing more consistent titles and series and are developing a more regular audience.” The Screen/Society is currently showing four films from Turkey —a series culminating with a panel discussion about the films from the directors and critics. French, Latin American and East Asian movies are scheduled to follow. “We’re trying to fill the gaps as to what’s available in local theaters, while emphasizing that international cinema can be educational and entertaining,” Screen/Society exhibitions director Hank Okazaki said.

With a new sorority there’s no way to measure that because there’s no one in it.” Zeta Tau Alpha was founded Oct. 15, 1898 by nine women at State Female Normal School in Farmville, Va., now known as Longwood University. Currently the sorority has 233 collegiate chapters on campuses throughout the country and over 250 alumni chapters, including one that encompasses alumnae in the Research Triangle area.

Nearly all the music and visual art spaces have tie-ins to technology, and the building features a satellite of the Office ofInformation Technolog) f Part of Duke’s goal was to integrate tradidonal art with innovative technology. “This is the humanities all surrendering to the fact that we can’t stay acoustic forever,” said Anthony Kelley, assistant professor of music. The new space is part of what administrators and faculty are heralding as a renaissance of the arts at Duke. The warehouse, construction of the new Nasher Museum of Art and recent completion of theater facilities in the Bryan Center have buttressed the ideological commitmentwith space to carry

it out “It would be very difficult to match the kind of expectation thatwe’re currendy assuming with the current facilities we have now,” said Anya Belkina, associate professor of the practice of art and art history. As the University continues to develop its arts programs, it will look for innovative ways to connect the scattered facilities across campus, administrators said. The arts warehouse is set back from Campus Drive near the East Campus Bridge. The area between the building and the road will be re-landscaped to allow for better access, but the links between the Nasher, the Center for Documentary Studies and other arts facilities remain tenuous at best. President Richard Brodhead explained that the upcoming challenge will be to make the arts “fit together in away they don’t quite seem to do yet”

But the obstacles have not diminished excitement about the latest addition to the University’s arts facilities. “Looking in you can just feel the energy,” said Richard Riddell, special assistant to the provost for the arts. “It’s going to be such a marvelous mixture of high tech spaces and very low tech

This really is very promising,” said Kim Lyerly, director of the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. “It is exciting to think of teams of physicians, in this case a hematologist/oncologist teaming with an urologist to devise a novel form of therapy for a very difficult cancer.” Rosenkranz first went to see doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City but he said they were “not eager” to treat his cancer. He then turned to Duke physicians who were willing to help him. Since May, Rosenkranz has had approximately six infusions and reports that there have been no new cancerous developments. He does his treatments as part of a day trip from his home in Palm Beach and spends a majority ofhis time conserving his strength in order to fight this disease. “I feel like I’m 61 going on 30,” he said. “Without the people at Duke, I wouldn’tbe here. They have given me hope and a chance to stay alive and live a decent life.” Although this is one of the most aggressive and promising approaches to treat cancer, about 10 percent ofpatients do not survive, researchers said. There are many complications and doctors warn that the treatment is not for everyone, but Rosenkranz is satisfied with his experience. They have really given me my life back,” Rosenkranz said. “I could Just kiss them all.”

CAMPUS COUNCIL from page 4 used by Duke Student Government in its “Visions of Duke” survey, which yielded results about student life last fall. Vitarelli lauded that effort but laid out different goals for Campus Council’s own project. “Visions of Duke was great, but it was strictly qualitative,” he said. “Some of the key to this would be to have hard, quantitative data.” This data will be gathered by means of several questions. Campus Council members suggested some be openended and others be answered along a gradient. Council members emphasized the need to strike a balance between questions that would yield detailed written answers from a few students and questions that would lead to a greater numbers of participants. “Selection bias is going to exist no matter [how] you do it,” Vitarelli noted. Proposed questions ranged from “Do you know what the quad model is?” to “Do you live in a dingy residence hall or a place you can identify as home?” Council members also suggested other topics for inquiry, including hot-button issues such as campus safety and alcohol policy enforcement. “Let’s do something that gets a perspective of residential life and see what we can do with it,” said sophomore Ben Rubinfeld, at-large representative.

In other business: The meeting also addressed a Homecoming Weekend effort to get various student groups to paint benches for a contest that would be judged by President Richard Brodhead. All benches would then either be donated to local schools or installed on campus. Some council members expressed confusion as to whether the administration still allowed benches on the Main West Quadrangle, but Vitarelli reiterated their importance as a gathering place for students. “I have been and will continue to encourage quad presidents to build benches on the Main Quad,” he said. Campus Council also addressed the upcoming Devil’s Eve celebration, in which games and bands will be on the Main Quad during Parent’s Weekend. The group is attempting to finalize dining, promotional and programming decisions for the carnival, which will feature student musical, dancing and comedy groups.

SCREEN/SOCIETY from page 5 films through departments at the University that sponsor the productions, as well as from filmmakers directly. Films are then selected in conjunction with a theme, which might be as broad and simple as exposing viewers to particular cultures. At the insistence of a friend, freshman Nick Arrive saw Tales About Darkness II: Confession, a Turkish movie and his first Screen/Society experience. He left with plans to attend future Society productions. “I don’t like these films because they’re ‘foreign’ but because there’s a subdety to them,” Arrivo said. “I think this is something a student body like Duke’s would appreciate.” A swelling audience attendance is not only a product of more students, but also ofinterested people from Durham and Raleigh. In addition to creating a cultural awareness among the student body, the Society hopes to integrate Duke with residents in the surrounding community. “If it weren’t for’the Screen/Society showing these films, we wouldn’t get to see these award-winning movies,” said Hatice Ozturk, assistant professor at North Carolina State University. Some students have begun to look toward the Screen/Society productions for a reprieve when they feel overwhelmed by the daily college grind. “It’s very exciting to see these releases premiered right here in Durham,” Gaines said. “This loosely defined, eclectic program makes Durham a bit more like New York.” With such a multitude of international cinema to showcase, one of the Society’s most difficult jobs now is to fit them all into their schedule. Films are only shown during the school year, and usually no more than once. ‘We try to say yes as much as possible but we’ve got plenty of ideas and proposals for film series,” Okazaki said. ‘We’re filling up quickly.” Showings usually take place in either Richard White Auditorium on East Campus or Griffith Film Theater in the Bryan Center and generally peak at 50 to 70 viewers. Some of the Screen/Society’s more mainstream films showed last year included Hedwig and the Angry Itch as part of the global/pop/culture series and Tupac: Resurrection as one film in a hip-hop film series.

PWILD from page 3 Celebrating the big three-oh came in the comparatively civilized form of a Sept. 3 to 5 reunion that honored the pioneers of the program and prompting a healthy dose of PWILD nostalgia. “I got to see all my ‘PWILD heroes’—the juniors and seniors from my freshman year,” Fuller said. “I put faces to names I had heard of in PWILD lore and heard from the founders.” Some of the elements of the trip are famous on campus: 40 hours of solitude as part of the August pre-orientation trip, for example, is well-known as one of the more “hard-core” components of PWILD bonding. But other traditions and stories are not so well known. “Probably the most challenging thing was the seven-mile, uphill Fun Run,” said Harrington, part of the most recent addition to the PWILD gang. “We also name our latrine trowel—ours was G.I. Joe!” Though that might not be most students’ conventional idea of a rollicking good time, PWlLDers past and present beg to differ. Not only are most PWlLDers bound to each other in the woodsiest sense of solidarity, but they also stress the ability of programs like WILD to eliminate problems on campus. “I know many people who came to the PWILD program struggling with fullblown eating disorders or with self-confidence so low it bordered on depression,” Fuller said. “PWILD was the beginning of a change toward a healthy self-image and lifestyle.” The general consensus is that the program has succeeded in both boosting selfconfidence and fostering community— PWlLDers are an inseparable and close-knit bunch, whether taking a posttrip house course or drinking still-warm pasta water at a campsite. “Half the parties we go to are PWILD parties,” said McCain McMurray, a freshman. “You really build on friendships you made on the trip once you get back to campus.” This sense of community, as evidenced by the electric enthusiasm at the reunion, has not shown signs of fading with age. “The best thing about PWILD is that it doesn’t end,” Fuller said. “You not only have your old memories, but you make new ones.”

Brockman cuts list to Duke, UW by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Power forward Jon Brockman is down to a pair of possible college destinations. Brockman, one of the Blue Devils’ top remaining targets in the class of 2005, eliminated UCLA as an option after taking his official visit to Duke last weekend. The Snohomish, Wash., native will now choose between head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils and the Washington Huskies. “It’s 50-50 right now,” Brockman said Wednesday. “[Duke’s] got it going there, obviously, and Coach K is one of the most well-known and most successful coaches in basketball.” Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils wowed Brockman on his visit, which included a trip to the bowling alley and a barbecue at Krzyzewski’s house Saturday. It was at that gathering that Krzyzewski made his pitch to the star power forward. ‘We watched some tape of some former players,” Brockman said. ‘We just envisioned me being on one of those tapes someday.” Brockman would be the fifth member of Duke’s recruiting class of 2005 should he commit to the Blue Devils. He would likely be the final piece of a large and important Blue Devil class that already includes point guard Greg Paulus, power forward Josh Mcßoberts, combination forward Jamal Boykin and center Eric Boateng. Brockman, however, would SEE BROCKMAN ON PAGE 16

Initially recruited as a linebacker, true freshman Justin Boyle will be the third Duke starting tailback in four games, with Cedric Dargan and Aaron Fryer out with injuries.

Duke looks to shell Terps by

Chrissie Gorman THE CHRONICLE

He has a scant one year of high school running back experience, yet Justin Boyle will be thrust into a starting role against a top-25 football team Saturday. The true freshman, who primarily played as a linebacker in high school, will start in the backfield in Duke’s home opener against Maryland Saturday at noon in Wallace Wade Stadium. Boyle has been pushed into the spotlight for Ted Roofs first home game since he was permanently installed as Duke’s

head coach because Cedric Dargan and Aaron Fryer, the team’s top two running backs, are injured. To help alleviate the crunch at running back, Roof is taking unusual measures. With three healthy quarterbacks, the Duke coach will use his two more mobile passers in other positions. None of the Blue Devils’ three quarterbacks has solidified himself, although Mike Schneider will start Saturday despite suffering a concussion during Duke’s loss to Virginia Tech last week. Chris Dapolito, who started against

Connecticut, and Curt Dukes, who saw time at quarterback against the Hokies, have been practicing at several different offensive positions, including running back. To cope with the lack of tailbacks, the Blue Devils hope to take advantage of Schneider’s strong arm as they prepare a pass-based offense that the Terrapins will likely force Duke to use, Roof said. In contrast to the Blue Devils, Maryland’s offense will be run-oriented. Ohio State transfer tailback Sammy Maldonado is fifth SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE

FIELD HOCKEY

Rivals meet for more than bragging rights When Duke defeated North Carolina 5-0 last October, the field hockey team not only snapped a 49-game losing streak dating back to 1981, it also established itself as a national tide contender. Both teams will be fighting for more than a win when the two teams face off Saturday. “It’s not just another game,” head coach Beth Bozman said with a smile. “It’s also an ACC game, it’s UNC, it’s for the South Region. The winner of this will be seeded first in the region. And is there any bigger rivalry?” The implications are huge for Saturday’s 1 p.m. matchup at Williams Field. In their only regular season meeting, fifth-ranked Duke (7-1) and secondranked UNC (9-0) could decide not only the ACC regular season title, but also the seeding for the ACC and NCAA

streaks. The Blue Devils have won five games in a . row, including victories over reigning national champion Wake Forest and Old Dominion, and they have outscored their opponents 45-6. UNC has won all nine contests this year, outscoring opponents 29-4. After playing three times last year and returning most of their starters, Duke and UNC know each other’s style of play. “We kind of know what to expect, as their team hasn’t changed much,” junior forward Katie Grant said. While the Tar Heels rely heavily on AllAmerican Kelsey Keeran, the Blue Devils embody more of a team attack. As a result, six players have 10 points or more. Duke All-American senior Johanna Bischof downplayed Keeran’s effect on the game. ‘We are not going to beat Carolina by playing to her, we’re going to beat

Last year the game’s score was 7-0, but this year figures to be different. The women’s soccer team (6-2) traveled cross-state to Davidson (5-3) in 2003 and humiliated the Wildcats in their own stadium. Today Davidson pays a visit to Durham reloaded and ready for revenge. Under first-year head coach Greg Ashton, Davidson expects to be in the game. “Last year was kind of a freakish thing,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said of the lopsided victory. “It’s usually a much closer game.” Davidson has already played No. 19 Wake Forest, losing 4-2 in a close contest, and the Wildcats should not be intimidated by the streaking Blue Devil team. ‘They are very organized and they believe in themselves,” Church said of the Davidson team. “I think they were a little embarrassed lastyear and they are looking forward to the opportunity to come here and play well.” With two goals and three assists in eight games, juniorKara Koehrn provides much of the offensive firepower for Davidson. She scored a goal in the game against Wake Forest and knows what it takes to play well in big games. Four years ago, Koehrn was a recruiting target for the Blue Devils but chose to play at Davidson instead. “She is an outstanding player,” Church said. “We’ve got to stop her. She’s some-

body we have

to know where she is at all times on the field. She’s able to slice through the defense and finish.” But Davidson is not the only team with offensive firepower. Duke senior captain Casey McCluskey has been on a tear, scoring six goals in the team’s last three games, all Blue Devil wins. In fact, Duke has won its last four contests by a combined score of 15-0. Both McCluskey and Church attribute the Blue Devils’ recent run to an increase in focus and team play. “We’re Just clicking really well right now,” McCluskey said. “Everyone is playing hard and playing like we’ve got a chip on. our shoulder.” Church echoed her sentiments. “The overall focus and attitude of the team is right now where we’re really all 'on the same page,” Church said. “They’re all working hard for each other and accepting the roles that have been laid out for them.” Although the matchup against Davidson is not exacdy a traditional rivalry, there is a certain element of tension between the two teams. They play each other every year, they are both located in North Carolina and they recruit the same student-athletes. Last year’s big win by Duke only adds to the competitiveness between the two teams. “Both teams are going to be playing

Blue Devils try to rebound from UNC defeat by

Alex Fanaroff

THE CHRONICLE

ACC volleyball teams never get an opportunity to take a game off. After losing to North Carolina Tuesday, the Blue Devils (9-3) will play two tough conference opponents this weekend at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Defending ACC Tournament champion Maryland (5-5) has a date with the Blue Devils at 7 p.m. Friday, and Virginia (10-2) plays Duke Sunday at 1 p.m.. Both opponents are talented and experienced and each has gotten hot at the start of the ACC season. Maryland is riding a four-game winning streak, and Virginia has taken nine of its last 10 games. “Every team in the ACC is so competitive and so strong that if you don’t come to play you won’t get out successfully with a [win],” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “These are two very, very big matches for us.” Coming off the four-game loss to the Tar Heels, Nagel and her players said consistency and focus will determineDuke’s success this weekend. Nagel added that the Blue Devils need to play with the same intensity they displayed while winning the opening game against UNC. “It’s going to be really important for us to be mentally tough

against Maryland. They’re a very tough team, and we really need to bounce back from our loss,” said freshman setter Ali Hausfeld, whose triple-double against UNC was Duke’s first of the season. “It’s going to be important for us to have a lot of confidence going into that game.” The Blue Devils will use their lackluster performance against

the Tar Heels as motivation “Everyone went home after the game and realized we didn’t show up after game one,” outside hitter Tassy Rufai said. “We watched video of ourselves and got real disgusted and realized we never wanted to look or feel like that after a game.” The deep and talented Terrapins, picked to finish sec-

ond in the ACC in the preseason coaches’ poll, return 11 players from last year’s team. They are lead by setter Aimee Huddleston and middle blocker Rachel Wagener, both preseason AllACC selections. The team’s .500 record is deceptive, as three of its losses were to teams currently ranked in the top 20. ‘They’re a strong team and

have a lot of weapons,” Nagel said. “You can’t just stop one and not be aware of all the others.” Maryland’s strength is on the front line, which features three seniors in addition to the 6-foot-4 Wagener. The Terps’ swing blocking technique is different from the defensive strategies Duke usually sees and could hinder the Duke attack. The Blue Devils’ second opponent, Virginia, is a younger team, but it still returns four starters from last year. Preseason All-ACC selection Alexis Geocaris anchors the front line with 1.22 blocks per game and setter Emily Kirkwood leads the defense with 4.92 digs per game. “They're a very aggressive team that plays great defense,” Nagel said. For all their success and talent, neither Maryland nor Virginia has won a road game this season—both are 0-2 in away games. Duke, meanwhile, has a 4-1 record at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Despite the loss to UNC and the prospect of playing such skilled opposition, the team enters the weekend with confidence. “We’re definitely talented enough,” Hausfeld said. “We have enough talent to be one of the top teams in the ACC, and I know we can beat both teams. We just need to bring our top game.”

Even though Duke beat Old Dominion this weekend, Bozman said the team still has areas to improve upon. “We were a little flat this weekend, but to be flat and score four goals against Old Dominion isn’t bad,” Bozman said. “We need to revive a little of our passion in our game this week, and that’s pretty easy when you know you’re going to play UNC.” With more team speed and playing on their home field, Duke believes it has the upper hand. The Blue Devils are 5-0 at home this season. “I love this field, it’s my favorite place to play in the whole field,” Grant said. ‘This turf is hard and old—it is definitely an advantage I think.” Duke will look to capitalize early with its speed and play a team-oriented game to once again upset the Tar Heels. “We played each other a -few times in the spring and it always ended in a tie,” Grant said. “It’s definitely going to be a really good game. After all, the UNC game is always a batde.”

Chrissie Murphy and Duke beat North Carolina 5-0 last year to snap a 49-game losingstreak.They hope to repeat the same performance Saturday at 1 p.m. the field in order to attract people to the games. The team’s 0-3 record has likely dampened potential enthusiasm. “We’re going to do everything we can to gather some support and get as many people here as we can, but at the same time we’ve got to put a good product on the field so that people keep coming back,” Roof said. Athletic attendance in recent seasons shows that winning yields larger crowds. Mimicking anything similar to the Cameron Crazies in Wallace Wade would be an ideal situation, but student creativity cannot be forced and must evolve on its on. “Winning is obviously an important part of this whole process,’’-said Jon Jackson, assistant director of athletics for communication and media relations “The atmosphere we have in Cameron is the best, and we want the atmosphere in Wallace Wade to be one of the best. The students know how critical of a part of the basketball situation that they play. It’s just as critical in football and other sports.” Head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has attributed some of the team’s success to the pivotal role that the Duke student body plays as the sixth man. Roof made a similar plea in his e-mail Thursday as he asked fans to become the team’s 12th man. “Having your fans, having your student section going crazy when you come out that’s definitely something that you look forward to,” sophomore co-captain Ben Patrick said.

W. SOCCER from page 12 very hard,” Church said. “[Head coach] Greg [Ashton] has them playing very well, and we’re playing very well, so it should be a great matchup.” Each team has something to prove. Davidson wants to show that they are a diffe, tit team from last year, while wants to show that last yeai was not a fluke. Duke could be upset, however, if gets caught looking ahead to their extremely tough ACC schedule. Sunday they travel to Winston-Salem to play No. 19 Wake Forest, followed by games against No. 12 Florida State, a tough Miami team and No. 4 Virginia. Sunday’s contest against the Demon Deacons could have major postseason implications. Wake Forest (6-1-1) is ranked ahead of the Blue Devils in most national polls, and a win would give Duke confidence going into the rest of its ACC season. Church, however, refuses to look ahead. “One of our goals for the year is to play one game at a time,” he said. “We have a motto that every team we play is a nameless, faceless opponent. We understand that every win is important.”

BROCKMAN from page 11 bring badly-needed physical play and versatility to Duke. “He said that they have a lot of big guys, and they have a lot of guards, but they don’t really have anyone who can go in and out,” Brockman said. One obvious disadvantage for Duke, however, is its location. Washington, Brockman’s hometown school, is much closer to home. The Huskies, on the other hand, have not enjoyed the success the Blue Devils have had in recent years. Brockman will take an official visit to Washington Oct. 8, and many, including his coach, believe he will commit either to his hometown Huskies or the powerhouse Blue Devils shortly thereafter. Brockman, however, said that he does not have a timetable for his decision. “I think I’m just going to go by how I’m feeling and I’m not really sure when I’ll know,” Brockman said.

MikeSchneider will be Saturday's starter against Maryland. Chris Dapolito and Curt Dukes may see timebehind center and at other positions.

in the ACC with 86.3 rushing yards per game, and junior tailback Josh Allen is second to Maldonado and 10th in the conference with 69 rushing yards per game. Maryland’s running strength compensates for its weakness at quarterback. Coming into this season, the Terrapins had five players in contention for the starting quarterback job. The only passer who had taken snaps for Maryland was sophomore Joel Statham, who has started all the Terrapins’ games this season. In the Terps’ loss to West Virginia a week ago, he completed 9-of-20 passes for 108 yards and three interceptions. “I’m think it’s going to be a gradual

thing,” head coach Ralph Friedgen said of Statham’s development at quarterback. “I think [against West Virginia] there were a lot of different-type learning things to deal with.” Duke’s depleted defensive line could once again be a problem. Junior Justin Kitchen has replaced Phillip Alexander, who broke his leg during the team’s second game at Connecticut. Roof said Kitchen has been one of several players to step up this season, but the line will likely still struggle to contain the powerful Maryland rushing game. “I think stopping the run on defense and containing the special teams are the most important factors [for Saturday],” Roof said. Maryland’s special teams are among the

best in the nation. While Nick Novak can relate to Duke kicker Matt Brooks in missing a field goal that would have won a game—his miss came last week against West Virginia—he is one of the top placekickers in the nation. Novak has averaged 10 points per game this season, good for second place in the ACC rankings. Not only does Duke’s defense need to stop the run and stifle the special teams, but it must to do so quickly. Under head Friedgen, the Terrapins have gone 29-0 when leading at halftime. Duke, on the other hand, has not closed well lately. The Blue Devils have led during their last three games, which all ended in losses. ‘They’re very well-coached,” Roof said. “Ralph does a great job and I’m sure they’ll be ready to play,” Roof said.

Union can keep Coffeehouse unique We are wiling this letter because we care about the future of the Duke Coffeehouse. We have rocked out there to the sounds of the B-sides, Two Dollar Pistols, Malt Swagger and Jett Rink, and we wished we were there in 1992 when Beck played. We have spent hours contemplating the aliens on the walls. Despite our record of attending 9:10s, we have gone to the Coffeehouse at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning to play the lottery that is the annual WXDU record sale. We appreciate that the Coffeehouse is one of the few places that we can kick back on couches straight out of the movie Friday while avoiding the hustle of busde of Duke. We have no desire to see the coolness of the Coffeehouse co-opted. And we’re members of the Duke University Union. Having been tasked with the management of the Coffeehouse this year, the Union has formed a Coffeehouse committee. The committee is open to any interested Duke student, employee or community member (as are all Union committees) and has made applications available online at www.union.duke.edu. As of yet, no particular person has been appointed as manager. As patrons of the Coffeehouse, we hope that all students, especially those who have enjoyed it as much as we have, will choose to become involved. In his Sept. 22 column, Joost Bosland wrote that “by making it [the Coffeehouse]

open to all—as the Union idealistically claims to be its policy —the Coffeehouse will no longer be open to its original constituency.” We are puzzled by this statement. The Union has always maintained an open door policy in its programming; all members of the Duke community are encouraged to play an active role. This is not to say the Union only promotes “one-size-flts-aH” programming on campus. Rather, the Union is committed to providing a wide range of options from which students can choose, the Coffeehouse now being another one of those options. Nothing would upset us more than to see white walls and commons room furniture in the Coffeehouse. We agree that maintaining the unique feel of the Coffeehouse is important, and we now leave it to whoever joins the Coffeehouse committee to uphold this vision while still ensuring that is a functional space. We encourage you to take an active role and make the Coffeehouse a place you want to go. Bosland implores us to “up the frequency of events, claim the space as yours by going there as often as possible, be vocal about your concerns.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Biking benefits campus, I am dismayed to see the opinion expressed by The Chronicle in regards to cycling. Cycling should be a priority for the Duke. As the University continues to expand, parking spaces disappear while demand in-

creases. How should the University deal with this? Should Duke run more buses to remote lots or should Duke encourage cycling? Buses are expensive for the University. Biking is free. Where do you believe this money will come from?The belief that campus safety is a more pressing issue is flawed because more cyclists would actually improve personal safety on campus. Having more people out and about around campus would deter crime, since a criminalwould be more likely to be witnessed in the act. When has an extra set ofeyes hurt? Cycling and mass transit are both more environmentally friendly than everyone driving a car. The Chronicle, however, is considering this issue through its undergraduate bias. Duke is composed of nearly 30,000 people. About 5,000 of them live on campus. Not everyone has a Duke bus stop within walking distance of their front door. We do not mean for bikes to take over for the buses, we mean for bikes to complement buses. The Chronicle is correct to point out that bikes do not belong on the Bryan Center walkway. Nearly every cyclist will agree on this point. If one is biking from the Campus Drive to Science Drive, however, this is the shortest route that does not involve dealing with a flight of stairs. Cyclists want greater accessibility so that we can avoid using the BC walkway. We enjoy riding on the BC walkway as much as pedestrians enjoy us riding on it. We want ramps and bike paths so that we are

commuters

danger to pedestrians and so we do not endanger ourselves. The Chronicle is right to say that Duke needs ramps to comply with

not a

the Americans with Disabilities Act. An added benefit of being compliant, however, is that it is easier to bike around campus. Considering the cost involved with making campus compliant, the greatest benefits possible should be derived from this effort. The concerns of the disabled and cyclists need not be mutually exclusive. Considering that we live in a time where many are overweight or obese, it is wrong for The Chronicle to not encourage people to exercise. A daily ride to class to lab to home can help an individual live a healthier life. From the opinions expressed by The Chronicle, I do not believe that the editors of The Chronicle have ridden around campus and experienced the hell that is for many the daily commute. We deal with many challenges, from wheels getting caught in improperly placed drainage grates, to inconsiderate drivers, to having slop sprayed on us, to the completely deteriorated and barely maintained Duke roads, to inhaling exhaust from buses, to obstacles in the few extant bike lanes (often including University vehicles), to the lack of reasonable paths for bikes to travel. I ask those of you who feel that biking should not be a priority at Duke to take a ride on campus. Will you find it to be pleasant ride? Will you even find it to be adequate? The Duke Bike Advocates exist because the answer is a resounding no. Colin Middleton Trinity ’O5

Does it really matter?

live in a society where the somewhat pervasive notion of political correctness is viewed as both a blessing and a curse. The loophole, of course, is that if you’re stereotyping your own race or, if you have been given a friend’s permission, then it is not politically incorrect.

Right?

On an episode of the NBC reality show “Last Comic Standing” that aired earlier this summer, a homosexual comedian named Ant told a joke whose punch line was something like, “...because in Las Vegas four Queens always beats a Straight.” This joke received a pretty big laugh despite the fact that it wasn’t very funny. Did the audience laugh because they had a deficient sense of humor and found that joke genuinely hilarious, or were they laughing because he made a gay joke? Or were they laughing at the thought of four stereotypical homosexuals throwing down with a random straight man outside some seedy Vegas bar? Would Comic host Jay Mohr have gotten thaddeus edwards II away with that joke without some boos embiggened with cromulency and gasps? How hard can white people laugh at the Chris Rock stand-up comedy bit “N— vs. Black People” without being considered racists? I’m actually going to answer this question and say that laughter is appropriate right up until the point where a non-black person says “That’s an for you!!!” That’s something I’ve actually heard. Verbatim. Suffice it to say that the mood was ruined for the rest of the night. Let’s say I’m a Muslim born and raised in Saudi Arabia (or Iraq or Iran or Afghanistan or Turkey 0r...), and I am a high school student studying in the United States. Another Muslim, a first generation Indian (let’s call him Neil), who was born and raised in an American suburb and is very Americanized, is having a brief conversation with one of his white friends (I’ll call him Danny) between classes. As Neil is passing the Saudi (or Iraqi or Iranian or Afghan or Turk 0r...) Danny yells out “Have a nice class, Osama!” after which the Americanized Indian laughs and responds: “Yeah, okay,” clearly not offended. Does the Saudi have the right to be offended? If he makes a fuss, will anything change? Will Neil, the Indian, turn on his white friend? If the person toward whom the comment is made is not offended, does anyone else have the right to be? What if Neil was instead a suburban AfricanAmerican named Chris. Danny Vas still white, American Danny, and the Saudi was a regular teen named, let’s see, Thaddeus Edwards II from a predominantly black neighborhood? Do I, I mean does he, have the right to get offended if what was said was actually “Have a nice class my n—”? Can a bystander be offended now? That brings me to the cheeseburger. In 11th grade, my friend and I were discussing what we were in the mood to eat. He said he wanted a “Jew Deluxe.” I didn’t get it. He then explained to me that Jews who kept kosher were not allowed to consume meat and dairy in the same meal, nor were they allowed to feast on the flesh of a pig, which would make the bacon cheeseburger, the “Jew Deluxe,” doubly sacrilegious. Since then, he and I have used that term almost exclusively when describing bacon cheeseburgers. He is Jewish, and thus he has every right to use the term whenever he sees fit. But in what circumstances can I, a gentile, use the term? What if I start explaining the meaning to a peer and a Jewish person only hears “I want a Jew Deluxe?” Am I now a bad person for using this term? I don’t know. I’ve asked enough questions; maybe I can start figuring out some answers. —
