Congress likely to slow research funds Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE

After Republicans held onto control of both houses of Congress in Tuesday’s election, officials are expecting federal legislators to maintain recent patterns in higher education funding, with funding for health and science research tapering off after years of significant increases. “We’re looking at possible major cutbacks across all the funding agencies on which higher education and students depend,” said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “As money starts to get tighter, the funding is going to go down.” After a five-year period when the budget for the National Institutes of Health —which has awarded Duke many sizable grants in recent years—doubled, the increases in NIH funding began to slow in 2003, and experts expect this to continue. ‘We already had clear signals that NIH funding is going to decrease,” BumeSs said, predicting that NIH funding would increase “at inflation level—if that.” The National Science Foundation is in a similar situation,

with funding expected to increase meagerly over the coming years. The National Endowment for the Humanities is in worse condition, with no increase expected. “There’s not much federal funding for the humanities or the arts,” said Judy Dillon, director of the Office of Research Support. “It’s not been so much a function of the [George W.] Bush administration as an ongoing trend in higher education.” Bumess said the decreased funding for humanities research comes not from a lack of interest, but a lack of resources. “It’s not a question so much a question ofhow much they like a given group,” he said of Congress. ‘There’s so little money available, and every group is going after it.” The pursuit of these funds will likely become more difficult, as Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, and Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla.—both of whom have given much support to higher education funding in the past—are leaving their posts as chairs of their respective appropriations committees. Rep. Ralph Regula, R-Ohio, who will SEE FUNDING ON PAGE 6

Bush wins Ohio, presidency by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush claimed a reelection mandate Wednesday after a record 59 million Americans chose him over Democrat John Kerry and voted to expand Republican control of Congress as well. He pledged to pursue his agenda on taxes and Iraq while seeking “the broad support of all Americans.” Kerry conceded defeat in

make-or-break Ohio rather than launch a legal fight reminiscent of the controversial Florida recount of four years ago. “I hope that we can begin the healing,” the Massachusetts senator said. Claiming a second term denied his father George H.W. Bush, the president struck a conciliatory tone, too. “A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation,” he said, speaking directly to Kerry’s supporters. “To make this nation stronger

and better, I will need your support and I will work to earn it,” he said. “I will do all I can do to deserve your trust.” It was a warm-and-fuzzy close to one of the longest, most negative presidential races in a generation. Bush did not use the word mandate, but Vice President Dick Cheney did, and the president’s intention was clear as he ticked off a familiar list of second-term SEE ELECTION ON PAGE 5

Escape sparks review of new jail security system by

Liz Williams

THE CHRONICLE

Despite installing a new security system at the Durham CountyJail, detainee Dwayne Cardell Walker escaped.

When a prisoner at the Durham County Jail escaped custody by simply getting up and walking out the front door, police officials decided it was time for a security review. Trouble was, a new computerized program had just been installed, leaving administrators at the Durham County Sheriffs Office with the task of fixing something that was not supposed to be broken. Detainee Dwayne Cardell Walker escaped from the custody of a Durham County police officer Oct. 6 by quietly slipping away and proceeding nonchalantly out the nearest exit. Walker’s escape, caught on camera, was successful because the pair of doors he exited were controlled by the newly installed security system. This system, aimed at increasing the dependability and efficiency of security at the jail, was still pardy untested when Walker made his break for freedom. In response, administrators are intent on perfecting the process, saying they are concentrating on

technical improvement and the elimination of human error. Walker’s escape occurred after he waited for hours in the facility’s booking area. There, Lt. Col. George Naylor said he had “all day to sit there and look, and to make his move.” Walker was able to bide his time and take into account any patterns he noticed in regard to doors opening and closing. Since the booking area has no holding cells, the officer in charge of each detainee is the only one responsible for that particular individual. The lack of holding cells is meant to speed up prisoner processing by forcing officers to stay with their prisoners until they are booked. Despite the best efforts of magistrates and officers, booking can still take hours to complete. This delay, combined with flaws in the security system, presents prisoners with opportunities similar to the one that Walker took advantage of. SEE

Arafat's condition worsens, officials say CHEHEREZADE pARAMARZI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS The condition of Yasser Arafat, in a French hospital for treatment of an unidentified ailment, has deteriorated significantly over the past day, Palestinian officials said early Thursday. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the 75-year-old Arafat had taken a turn for the worse, adding that doctors still don’tknow the cause. Mohammed Dahlan, a former Palestinian security chief in Paris with a group of Arafat aides, denied that Arafat’s condition

has worsened. ‘The president’s condition is stable,” he told reporters. A Palestinian official in the Middle East confirmed an Israeli television report that Arafat was in very serious condition. Earlier Wednesday, Arafat felt well enough to ask about the U.S. presidential election, said Leila Shahid, the Palestinian envoy to France. He congratulated President George W. Bush and expressed the widespread hope that a second term will spark new life to the Middle East peace process, said aide Mohammed Rashid.

Arafat expressed new determination to revive the so-called “road map”—the stalled peace plan between Israelis and Palestinians that Bush supports —and hopes the U.S. administration will be “more engaged” in the peace process, Rashid said. Arafat “declares the readiness of the Palestinian leadership to cooperate and work with [Bush] to resume political efforts to bring about peace and the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the SEE ARAFAT ON PAGE 6

2 convicted of Internet spam distribution by

Matthew Barakat

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LEESBURG, Va. A brother and sister who sent junk e-mail to millions ofAmerica Online customers were convicted Wednesday in the nation’s first felony prosecution ofInternet spam distributors. Jeremy Jaynes, 30, and Jessica DeGroot, 28, were each convicted of three counts of sending e-mails with fraudulentand untraceable routing information. Jurors later recommended that Jaynes, the alleged head of the operation, get nine years in prison, and that DeGroot be fined $7,500. Richard Rutkowski, a third defendant, 30, was acquitted of similar charges. All three defendants live in the Raleigh, N.C., area»

Prosecutors compared Jaynes and DeGmodern-day snake oil salesmen who use the Internet to peddle junk like a “FedEx refund processor” that supposedly allowed people to earn $75 an hour for working from home. In one month alone, Jaynes received 10,000 credit card orders, each for $39.95 for the processor. ‘This was just a case of fraud,” said prosecutor Gene Fishel. ‘This is a snake oil salesman in a new format.” Prosecutor Russell McGuire said Jaynes amassed a net wealth of $24 million peddling worthless products like the rebind processor and other products like a “penny stock picker” and an Internet history eraser.

“He’s been successful ripping people off all these years,” McGuire said. Prosecutors had asked the jury to impose a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison for Jaynes, and to consider some amount of jail time for his sister, whom they acknowledged was less culpabale. Defense lawyers asked jurors to spare the defendants prison terms. David Obion, representing Jaynes, argued that it was inappropriate for prosecutors to seek what he called an excessive punishment, given that this is the first prosecution under the Virginia law.

On-campus crime declines slightly IBM exec BY THE NUMBERS explains IT industry Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE

Burglaries and robberies on Duke’s residential campuses and at Duke University Medical Center declined sharply from years past, according to the 2003 crime statistics in Duke’s Clery Report, a compendium of crime statistics that federal law requires universities to release annually. The report includes both successful and failed attempts of crime on University property. In 2001, there were 66 burglaries reported at Duke, with 46 in residential campus buildings. Sixty-four burglaries were reported in 2002. In 2003, however, the number dropped to 37. Similarly, there were only five robberies in 2003, compared to 10 such crimes in 2001. “There’s a lot of factors that have an impact on crime statistics,” said Maj. Phyllis Cooper, a spokesperson for they Duke University Police Department. “There’s really no way to explain why crime goes up and down.” There were seven reported aggravated assaults on campus in 2003, a drop from 15 the year before. The only major offense that increased in 2003 was motor vehicle thefts, which increased from eight to 11. Duke had no cases of murder, nonforcible sex offenses, hate crimes or arson in 2003, but there were six forcible sex offenses reported. The report includes both arrests by DUPD and referrals of potential law infractions from the Dean ofStudents’ office for offenses such as liquor and drug violations. 2003 saw 21 arrests and 306 referrals for liquor law violations. In 2002 there were a total of 377 liquor violations—an increase from 232 in 2001. “Law enforcement is not the only enforcement of alcohol policy on campus,” Cooper said. “We are working to make students more aware of the decisions they make—we feel like enforcement isn’t the answer to solve these problems.” There were 12 arrests and 20 referrals for drug violations in 2003, down from a total of 70 in 2002. Stephen Bryan, assistant dean of students, questioned the validity of the statistics, noting that the Clery Report numbers reflect all cases in which DUPD was in-

volved and include referrals that were not crimes or violations. He also noted that the numbers, which are calculated by the calendar year, are different from the University’s figures, which are based on the academic calendar. Bryan said this difference can make it difficult to understand the impact changing University policies have on these statistics. “I don’t know really how much to put in those numbers,” Bryan said, noting that Duke uses different set of information to tabulate University policy violations. “The Clery Report is a much broader number of referrals than we use.” Bryan said it was hard to gauge trends in violations from year to year, but some University policy and enforcement may have had impact on statistics, significantly

raising the number ofalcohol and drug violations from 2001 to 2002. “Where I do see an increase is when the [residence coordinators] came aboard in July 2002,” he said, noting the heightened degree of administrative scrutiny in residential halls in recent years. Statistics bear this out, as 2002 saw similar or increased numbers in reported incidents ofalmost every type of violation. The Clery Report is federally required by the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, which forces any college receiving federal student financial aid funding to disclose data about crime at and around their campuses.

He mentioned that IBM and many other companies are attempting to “liberate” organizations and trying to let information flow freely. “Forget what it’s called,” he said, highlighting the different phrases various companies use to identify spontaneous access to information. He then defined what IBM means by this “on demand” process; “making an organization that is adaptive as it needs to be, internally and externally.” Herrald claimed that the target of corporations in the IT industry should include the linkage of business performance and IT and a “more, better, tighter, faster, cheaper integration.” He then argued that standards for IT have not yet been created and that there needs to be criteria for the information flow to be more productive in industries like retail, health care, automotive or banking and insurance. “We have to make sure that [organizations] are open to free access ofall participants,” he said, also emphasizing the importance of outsourcing.

DSG passes plan to streamline event registration by

Marisa Adelson THE CHRONICLE

Duke Student Government passed several resolutions that attempt to streamline the process student groups go through to reserve space for events at its meeting

Wednesday night. The primary resolution, created by the

Student Affairs Committee, was in the form of a three-phase plan. Phase one encourages collaboration between the Office of Student Affairs and Facilities and Residence Life and Housing Services about event planning and creates an online room reservation system that aims to simplify the process for student groups. The site will also include photographs

and descriptions of available spaces as well as lists of equipment for rent.

Europe seeks changes, new beginning with Bush by

John Leicester

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS European allies alienated by President Bush’s first four years in power offered George W. Wednesday to let bygones be bygones, saying they want to work with the new administration and seeking, right from Day 1, to get the new White House to listen more to overseas opinion. French President Jacques Chirac, in a congratulatory letter, said he hoped Bush’s second term “will be the occasion for strengthening the French-American friendship.” ‘We will be unable to find satisfying responses to the numerous challenges that confront us today without a close trans-Atlantic partnership,” wrote Chirac. He addressed the letter to “Dear George.” German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who also clashed with Bush over Iraq, wrote the president a congratulatory letter expressing “great expectations” for renewed cooperation.

‘The world stands before great challenges at the beginning of your second term: international terrorism, the danger of weapons of mass destruction, regional crises—but also poverty, climate change and epidemics threaten our security and stability,” Schroeder wrote. “These challenges can only be mastered together.” Another critic of the Iraq war, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said his government wants “a relationship of efficient, constructive cooperation with the U.S. government and with President Bush, respecting the ideas of each side.” Zapatero, who angered Washington by withdrawing Spanish troops from Iraq, stayed up most of the night to watch as Republican red crept across the U.S. electoral map. Election interest in Europe was intense, as was the disappointment many felt over Bush’s victory. Some saw it as proof that Europe and the United States are further apart than ever. “There is a major and lasting lack of understanding be-

tween the American people and the rest of the world, in both directions,” said Hubert Vedrine, a former French foreign minister. “Almost all nations, with perhaps three or four exceptions, wanted change.” Others worried that Bush, strengthened by a bigger win than in 2000 and backed by a Republican Congress, would turn a deaf ear to world concerns. “Europe will continue to criticize Bush the same way as earlier,” said Swedish Prime Minister Goeran Persson. “But I do not believe that he will be more willing to listen.” Bush allies in the president’s war on terror took comfort in continuity. “From our point of view, the Bush administration is a known quantity,” said Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer. “We’ve had a very good relationship with them for the last four years and I’m sure we’ll be able to keep building on that over the next four.”

Walker is now back in police custody and faces a $75,000 secured bond. Within hours of bolting, he was recaptured by police and successfully booked into the Durham County Jail. Aside from breaking out of jail, Walker was originally charged with a plethora of other crimes. According to The HeraldSun of Durham, he was accused of “two counts of resisting a public officer, three counts ofassault on a government official, felonious breaking and entering, possession of burglary tools, injury to personal property and possession of drug paraphernalia (a crack pipe and two push rods).” In the wake ofWalker’s escape, officials at the prison have improved securityby reiterating proper procedure, re-coordinating the programs that control entrances and significantly increasing the number of security cameras on the premises. Although the new security system has yet to be perfected, Naylor is optimistic about its potential. The old system, replaced about three months ago, was “antiquated... they no longer manufactured parts for it,” he said, adding that “officers were having to work overtime to open doors.” Naylor said the new system will be more dependable as well as cost-effective once it has been in place longer and all the “quirks” have been worked out. Unlike the old system, the Durham County Sheriff’s Office said it believes this new system is much more flexible in terms of programming options and is also easier to fix when something goes awry. If there are problems, “It doesn’t take long to get [the system] operating again,” said Naylor, noting that the old security program was nearly impossible to repair at times due to the obsoleteness of certain parts.

Bush stands to reshape the federal judiciary, starting with an aging Supreme Court that voted 54 to award him Florida four years ago. In all branches of government, the GOP now holds a solid, if not

permanent, ruling majority. Bush’s vote totals were the biggest ever and his slice of the vote, 51 percent, made him the first president to claim a majority since 1988 when his father won 53 percent against Democrat Michael Dukakis.

Bush’s victory ensures Republican dominance of virtually every quarter of the U.S. political system for years to come—the White House, Congress and the federal Judiciary. Democrats pored over election results and sadly determined that the GOP base was bigger, more rural, suburban and Hispanic than they had ever imagined. They looked within their own party, and found plenty of Democrats to blame—Kerry, his running mate John Edwards, their layers of consultants and legions of former Bill Clinton aides.

replace Young, has a track record of being more frugal toward universities. The amount of funding granted by the federal government governs not only the topics of the research, but also the methods, favoring directed research more likely to lead to tangible goals in the short term. “What has changed more than the amount of money going in is the direction of the research,” Dillon said. ‘There’s been a tendency on the part of agencies to target their monies toward applied research more than fundamentalresearch. They’re trying to bring a more immediate product out of the research.” Dillon noted that Duke and other educational institutions will lose funding because of this focus on applied research. “Universities in general do more fundamental research than applied research,” she said. “It’s what they’re set up for.” Burness said legislators may be responsive to pleas on behalf of universities like Duke for funding to support both research and financial aid. “Higher education has some arguments that have been powerful in the past and may be powerful again,” he said, specifically citing the benefits yielded by fundamental research and an educated populace. Burness also noted the government’s capacity to defy expectations, referring to the 1994 mid-term elections, in which Republicans stormed to a huge majority in both houses. Higher education experts predicted cutbacks of 40 percent for higher education funding, which “never actually happened,” Burness said.

in prison shocking. “Nine years is absolutely outrageous when you look at what we do to people convicted of crimes like robbery and rape,” Obion said. When Jaynes and DeGroot are formally sentenced in February, Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne will have the option of reducing the jury’s sentence or leaving it intact. He cannot increase it. Horne also has not yet ruled on an earlier motion asking that the cases be dismissed. He said during the trial that he had a hard time allowing the prosecution ofDeGroot and Rutkowski to go forward to the jury.

Currently, groups must approach several different divisions of the University to schedule an event, which has resulted *in an inefficient system that often leads to double-booking of rooms due to miscommunication. “Consistently rooms become overbooked,” Goodwin said. “The impetus behind this project is to systematically approach and solve this concern by making the process more approachable to student groups.” He also emphasized the importance of phase one, adding that DSG’s goal is to implement it by next semester. Phase two of the plan builds on the first phase, adding an interactive calendar to the site that will show room availability for easier future planning. Although the implementation of the calendar was first estimated to take four to five years, Gunn said it would be closer to 18 months and described the reasons for the time delay. “There isn’t any [program] out there that can meet what we have—we’re so fragmented,” he said, adding that outside technology companies told him; “If we can solve Duke’s problems, we can solve everyone’s problems because Duke is the worst.” The final phase involves the creation of a fully integrated event registration site. The reservation form would become even more comprehensive, including options to order catering, DukeCard mobile scanners and barbecue pits at the same time the space is reserved. “It’s a one stop shop for all of your event planning needs,” said junior Paige Sparkman, a member of the Student Affairs Committee.

Herrald also expressed his views on what types of companies will prevail in the future. “They have to be industry-specific,” he said, pointing out that they need to fuse business with IT and that they should be open and flexible in order for information to flow freely.

WORLD from page 4 Russian President Vladimir Putin said a Bush victory would mean the American people had not given in to terrorist threats. “I would feel happy that the American people have not allowed themselves to be scared and made the decision they considered reasonable,” Putin said at a Kremlin news conference after talks with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. “Bush will keep up that policy that gives the United States the role of promoting freedom in the world,” Berlusconi said. British Prime Minister Tony Blair pledged to work with Bush in the war on terrorism and in revitalizing the Middle East peace process, and called on Europe and the United States to “build anew their alliance” after strains created by the Iraq war. “A world that is fractured, divided and uncertain must be brought together to fight this global terrorism in all its forms and to recognize that it will not be defeated by military might alone but also by demonstrating the strength of our com-

Sarah Brodeur recess

For those of NEW YORK us who are not planning to become doctors, lawyers or ibankers the future is particularly fuzzy. That’s why it was such a thrill to discover a group of artsy-fartsy recent Duke grads in New York that have thrown caution to the wind and taken their future into their own hands. In the dog-eat-dog world of New York City theater, Talya Klein, Julie Foh and Faran Krentcil have found a safe haven. Last September, the three former theater studies majors came together with a handful of other theater faithfuls to form Scriptworks NY a playwriting group dedicated to nurturing original work by new, young writers. Often artists are forced to choose between passion and pragmatism in order to make a decent living, but Scriptworks NY while meeting regularly, curtails its schedule to the demands of its members’ day jobs, allowing these burgeoning writers to find a balance between art and the demands of everyday life. “Having a support network of like-minded artists,” Foh explained, “[has] provided the necessary impetus to keep

Every other week, the members of Scriptworks NY meet to discuss their writing progress. Those who have new works ready to share hand over their latest pages to another member of the group who then reads the pages out loud so that the writer may hear the words from a voice other than his or her own. After the reading, the group discusses the progress of the piece by offering suggestions and constructive criticism. Once a writer has revised a piece to a point where it is performable, Scriptworks NY uses its few but quality resources to stage a reading of the piece at a theatrical venue with real actors. Scriptworks NY held its first such presentation Oct. 9 at New York’s Playwrights Horizons, where they performed Krentcil’s latest play, Concordia, a mystical fable about a young woman who is the last scion of a dying breed of sirens. Eventually, Scriptworks NY would like to hold an entire festival of works written by its members, including full-scale productions. As a forum for new work, Scriptworks NY encourages its see scripts on page 7

The Mighty Tee

Alex Frydman recess

The word “vintage” usually brings up thoughts of musty thrift stores with their eclectic collections of zoot suits, ’6os prom dresses and cracked leather. Lately, though, the term vintage has been co-opted by a trend pairing humorous slogans and pictures with super-soft cotton tees, straight off the assembly line instead of dug up in the basement. And while this may not be cutting-edge fashion, the availability of these vintagestyle shirts has increased exponentially as online vendors have caught on to the craze. Any average Joe with a credit card just has to google the phrase “vintage shirts” and thousands of vensee shirts on page 4

Sideways intoxicates viewers Katie Somers recess Director Alexander Payne's fourth effort, Sideways, is a two-hour profession of love to wine. As the film illustrates, wine-lovers principally fall into two categories. There are the bona fide oenophiles like the main character Miles (Paul Giamatti of American Splendor), who rejoices in the nose, legs, bouquet and palette of wine, and then there are those who drink wine purely for its inebriating effects like the rakish Jack (Thomas Haden Church). No matter which group you may fall into, chances are when you view Sideways you’ll find yourself falling in love with the elegant sophistication of wine, as you simultaneously fall in love with the film. Shot in the beautiful Santa Ynez wine region of southern California, Sideways, follows failed-writer Miles and has-been actor by

on a wine-tasting Journey through the countryside the week before Jack’s wedding. Even in the midst of his shameless philandering, Church’s Jack is still likable. Miles, however, is a quirky, alcoholic loser, capable of uttering pretentious assessments of wine like “quaffable but not transcendent.” Along the way they meet two women, Maya (Virginia Madsen of The Haunting) and Stephanie

Jack

(Sandra Oh ofArliss), who both share Miles’ love of wine and are easily seduced by Jack’s persuasive charm. Predictably, the foursome splits off into twosomes, and this is when the most thoughtful discourse in the film occurs. As Miles lauds the vulnerability of the Pinot grape, admiring its fragility and aversion to climate changes, Maya extols the life of wine. She beseeches the drinker to imagine not only the evolution of the taste but also see sideways

R.I.P. Dwayne Bartleby. Dwayne Bartleby, beloved son of Stella and Earl, stepson of Rodney and nephew of Dolores, passed away Wednesday in the comfort of his Wannamaker dorm room. A perennial honor student and friend to animals, Dwayne died, a victim of his own indifference. He had seen P. Diddy nearly ruin the Video Music Awards with his message. Sway pounded it into his skull during every Real World commercial break. The early voting period came and went. Dwayne refused to go because he heard it was a right-wing conspiracy where they take your vote and put in the same place socks go when they disappear from the dryer. And he was just busy all day Tuesday. And how can you blame him? He had a lot to do between going to classes, breaking the gates on campus parking lots and ironing his jeans. He swore he was going to vote, but TBS had a Naked Gun marathon. Enrico Pallazzo and The Juice, man. The Juice. “Vote or Die” was the slogan and it was no jive. Once midnight struck Tuesday our dear classmate began his precipitous decline. The first sign was compulsive lying about not eating his roommate’s Pop-Tarts, and lying again when he definitely farted during Old School The situation worsened when Dwayne began to flip-flop on the issue of which MaximParis Hilton looked better in (by the way August 2003 is no match for April 2004). From that point, there wasn’t much anyone could do other than to write “balls” on his forehead in permanent marker as he peacefully departed the temporal world. A memorial service will be held on Saturday at 7 a.m. in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens near the pond with all the goldfish. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made out to the Wannamaker Sean Biederman II Beer Fund.

Junior Dana Kulik ices the blisters on her toes while typing a literature paper on her laptop. Each of these young women is a serious dancer and a dedicated scholar. Both passions are fostered through the unique experi-

ence of Duke Dance “The program is a great way to merge academics and the desire to expand on dance training,” Siebert said. “Particularly for those not will-

Dance at Duke has become the gateway to technical training where the connections among music, dance and life can be understood and treated as one entity, thus bringing “the dancer” to fruition. This effort at integration brings “the studio side of dance and the academic side together to encourage thought and deeply investigate dance as an intellectual

activity to further the understanding of the body as an expressive tool,” said Barbara Dickinson, director of the dance program. The program is currently working to create a dance major through which “articulate dancers learn to speak through choreography,” Dickinson said. In Dickinson’s words, the department allows dance “to communicate a full-body sensitivity the physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual understanding so [that] the connection with humanity and knowledge is translated into the arts.” Situated behind the Marketplace in the Ark, Duke’s dance program —

has become a haven for the flow of creative energy. Along with ballet, modern and African technique, the program offers a number of other styles on a rotating basis. In order to incorporate the academic side of dance, history and theory courses are available as well. “Here at Duke we have a group of students and faculty who are intellectually curious about dance. This provides a diverse pool of students and forms a community of both artistic and scholarly colleagues,” said Tyler Walters, associate professor of the practice of dance. The program’s ability to instill a warm, nurturing atmosphere also bolsters the confidence of its performers. After a long and intense rehearsal period for choreographer Jose Limon’s A Choreographic Offeying, professor of the practice of dance Clay Taliaferro brought his dancers to tears. “Thank you all very much for your hard work,” he said. “Jose would be proud.” Taliaferro’s words generated camaraderie among the group and allowed them to know their work was appreciated. Insiders believe that often in the dance world, undermining self-confidence takes center stage while approval is rarely voiced. Frustration with consistency in movement, personal insecurities and the desire for perfection in technique can create a negative self-perception, which often leads to stifled creativity and an unhealthy preoccupation with thinness. “Positive body image in dance should come from each individual’s growth in [the] understanding of the self as the instrument of expression,” Walters said. The uniqueness of Duke’s dance program is seen in its ability to disassociate from “the prosee dance on page 7

No longer just for your dad, collars and cuffs are now an everyday staple. Add a clean, nice-guys-flnish-first touch to your closet with a few classics in vertical stripes and muted colors. Try to stick with 100% cotton—nix polyester, ruffles or anything that screams "Yeah, baby, yeah!" A white undershirt is an absolute must. Roll up the sleeves for a casual touch, but unless you’re feeling fratty, keep the collar down. Digital watches scream junior high. Go analog, even if you have to look at your ceil phone for the time. Leave the enormous gold Rolexes to P. Diddy and the gang; and for the love of god no velcro. Keep all other man jewelry to a minimum but add leather bracelets, Livestrong bands, or pukka shell necklaces to convey your personal style. Rings are a no unless you’re married. Can’t argue with the all-American uniform. Jeans are essential, and chances are you probably already own at least two pairs. The new style is relaxed, but neat. Avoid anything baggy. Cuffs should hang straight from the leg—no tapers! And since jeans are the core of any wardrobe, keep them simple. If it’s whiskered, distressed, or flared, chances are it’s also gonna be very very over in a matter of weeks. Heavy black shoes are one wardrobe item that’s almost impossible to mess up (perfect with jeans or khakis) and will never go out of style. Look for ones sturdy enough not to disappear under wide leg pants. Avoid contrast stitching or laces; solid black is more versatile and will easily take you from classroom to dance floor.

Want to represent your favorite kids’ TV show? Sport a shirt featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Alf or Mighty Mouse. Limitless nostalgic cravings can be fulfilled with shirts that feature slogans, celebrities or movies that had their hey-day decades ago. While haute-couture clothing dresses to impress, many of these fashions amuse, shock and even horrify with sayings paired with unlikely pictures. In the amus-

ing category is an Urban Outfitters shirt that includes the phrase “My Peeps” and a picture of Peeps, the chick-shaped marshmallow candy, below. Another Urban Outfitters T-shirt phrase includes the underhandedly sexual “Ain’t Nothin’ Like A Sausage Party.” The most popular shirt designs, though, offer an opportunity to sport hometown pride without ever owning a high-school letter jacket. These locationthemed shirts feature slogans ranging from the infamous “Everything is Bigger in Texas,” to the lesser known “New Jersey—The Almost Heaven State,” “Ain’t No Lovin’ Like West Virginia Lovin’” and for us North Carolinians, “North Carolina: We Like Being on Top.”

The downside of the trend is that some of these

vintage-style shirts can be expensive, running almost $3O a pop, at the pricier sites. The best bet for getting in on the trend without breaking your wallet is to skip the popular sites and instead see what you can dig up on eßay. eßay features an entire vintage section with both true vintage and vintage-style T-shirts, many of which go for under $lO. This tactic might require a litde searching to find that just-right slogan, but with so much selection and such cheap prices it’s definitely worth the effort. But no matter where you shop, remember: it’s not how old it is, it’s how old it looks.

Students scare up modern Ghosts A classic Ibsen play gets an updated feel this weekend Grace Ha recess Duke Theater Studies’ student production of Henrik Ibsen’s Ghostsfleshes out the absurd idea of everyday spirits on campus. “We are all balding ghosts, ‘the dead among us,’ and that is timeless,” said student director senior Amit Mahtaney, who was awarded the Brenenson Award, which allowed him to research at the Center for Ibsen Studies in Norway this summer. Originally a highly controversial play because of its open discussion about bohemian lifestyles and sexually transmitted diseases, Ghosts was first produced in the 1880’s. In the play, both the reputable and disdained characters face up to the secret ghosts that by

plague them. The two relatable younger characters combat ghosts of which they are not aware. They are left to use science and reason to deal with the spirits only to come to realize that “the sins of the fathers are visited on the children.” Mahtaney was motivated to stage this non-contemporary play by his belief in the ever-present reality of pasts that haunt us indiscriminately. He compares the piece to a Greek tragedy in that the conflicted protagonist finally breaks free from the restrictions she has lived under all her life, but not without paying dearly for the liberation. With this production, he makes stylistically bold choices to bridge the

gap of time and location from the 1880s to the modern day. A minimalist set containing a few chairs, a bench, a couple tables and modern costumes are artistic choices intended to draw attention to the acting within the play. Portrayals of the societal values of public opinion and the spirit of law and order resisting the truth are crisply executed. The ideals and spirits can be densely perceived lurking behind symptoms that the characters understand as the illness itself, f Despite its deeply dark and solemn content, the play still contains moments of humor. The intimate space in which the play is staged as well as the actors’ willingness to venture into the audience allows the view-

er to participate in the cathartic experience of the play. Essence of the rain that never stops can be felt, as well as the oppression of living with “never a glimpse of the sun.” The 1971 remake of “Here Comes the Sun” by Nina Simone that closes the last scene lets this one-of-a-kind theater experience trickle into our private lives, allowing us all to declare with the characters, “Now I can speak.” The production brings together mystery and suspense with humor to create a harmonious message challenging us to confront the ghosts that haunt us all.

Ghosts will be running from Nov. 3 to 5 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Tony Hawks Underground is unearthed by

Schnaars Jonrecess

Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 takes the extreme sports gaming genre to new heights while destroying it at the same time. As with the previous five titles of the franchise, skating stands at the core of THUG 2. Big name pro skaters like Bob Burnquist, Chad Muska and Rodney Mullen are back on board—literally. As in previous

THUG 2 offers large interactive skate areas with all forms of roadways, ramps and rails for gamers to explore. Beyond these standard accoutrements, although THUG 2 begins to fall apart. In an effort to attract a larger audience, Activision developed a story mode that centers around a competition called the World Destruction Tour.

nearby pedestrians.

In the short term, the story element entertains. Cut scenes featuring Margera and company are humorous and serve the purpose of moving the bare-bones plot forward. It seems that designers hoped to recreate the culture of skating; the attitude of irreverence and defiance that has changed skating from a casual hobby to a state of mind. This becomes problematic when the game begins to feel like one giant sellout. Skating used to be anti-establishment, and Bam Magera used to stand for anarchy. Now these two skaters are teaming up to move units. Tony Hawk is a talented athlete. In many ways the original incarnations of the Hawk franchise could be compared to other popular

In 2002, he tried to kick it up another notch with his aptly titled Electric album, and earlier this year returned with the lower key Acoustic Motel earlier this year. Like many others who might be classified as Texas country artists, Ingram’s collection of works is weighted heavily with live CDs, because, above all, a Texas country star shines brightest on stage.

Truth be told, if you hate country music, if you’ve given it your best shot and find that it doesn’t have enough “bling” or giddy teenage girls, then this probably isn’t for you. But, if you like a streak of something a little less than easy in your listening, you should come let Pat and Jack give you a ride down through Texas country—a country you haven’t heard.

JMMY EAT WORLD'S DMDED RITIM by

Alex Frydman recess

Futures, the newest album from Jimmy Eat World can be seen as almost a two-part release. Part one is Jimmy Eat World with the bass cranked up and the volume on max. The guitars are hard and driving and the choruses are oozing

with pulsating bass lines. This, paired with the band’s signature off-kilter wail and sugary sweet harmonies, seems to prove that Jimmy Eat World has kept its sound but Just magnified the energy behind it. These songs are immediately engrossing and are often jampacked with hooks, pretty much assuring that the listener will be bobbing his head before the first chorus has even finished. Part two amplifies Jimmy Eat World’s slower songs, such as the tracks on Clarity or “Cautioners” and “My Sundown” on the band’s last, self-titled album. In comparison to the tighter structures of the first set of songs, the instrumental arrangements here are more elaborate and elongated. Each song is slowly and carefully layered. The introduction to each track serves as the building point to these twisting melodies full of sweet melancholy. The only negative part ofFutures is how divided the album truly feels. The mood changes abruptly from rocking to sniffling halfway

through and never looks back Musically, the album seems more like two starkly different styles rubbing against each other than one cohesive release. Lyrically though, Futures is a very tight album, ing into varying reactions to pain from the all-out seething anger of the appropriately titled first single “Pain” to the passive-aggressive resentment of “Just Tonight” or the depressive melancholy of “Polaris.” Overall though, this album is a

definite must-have for rock fans and one of the top releases of the year. Jimmy Eat World still creates some of the strongest instrumental bridges with guitars that quickly crescendo and drumming that experiments with various start-andstop pace changes. Jim Adkins’ voice is crackling with emotions and the lyrics, though still discussing experiences that are somewhat reminiscent of high-school trysts, are nonetheless universally poignant and hang in the air long after the last note has Group front been sung.

dance from page 3 motion of training that emphasizes conformity to some arbitrary and unrealistic ideal of the human form,” Walters added. The faculty’s approachability furthers the program’s nurturing environment. “I have seen teachers coach a student who is a beginner with as much diligence as someone who has had extensive training,” said M’Liss Dorrance, associate professor of the practice of dance. “There is not a preconceived idea of what the dancer’s goals are. Teachers strive for excellence and yet the program is flexible [in] allowing students to pursue academics while keeping dance alive,” Dorrance said. The Duke dance program allows artistic passion to be pursued while understanding the academic side of dance. The ability to attract students who desire a prestigious education thus “creates a student and a dancer who is thinking. The dancer who is engaged in the world outside of dance is going to translate knowledge and make the deepest form of art,” Dickinson said. Diverse offerings

members to indulge in the extravagance of process by experimenting with style, form, theme and content. This liberty, however, makes no demands for greatness, at least not initially. “It’s great to have a place where you don’tfeel like you need to impress anybody, where you’re just there for the work,” Krentcil, who is a former senior editor of Recess, confessed. The ultimate goal for each writer is to hone a piece or two to such a degree that it can serve as a kind of calling card with which the author can query agents, companies and festivals in the ultimate hope of catching a producer’s attention. For Klein, Scriptworks NY is the first step in fulfilling her ultimate dream of starting her own theater company. “I’m dedicated to expanding the canon of new works for the stage,” Klein said, alluding to Broadway’s zeal for staging revivals of classic plays and musicals rather than mounting original, contemporary works. This devotion to new work may have developed while Klein, Foh and Krentcil studied theater at Duke.

Department of Theater Studies sets itself apart from most other undergraduate theater programs in the country with its deliberate focus on the development of new work. In addition to the Theater Previews and Professional Readings series, which annually bring

new professional works-in-progress to the Duke community, there are at least three local theater companies run by Duke professors (Man Bites Dog, and Shakespeare’s Originals Archipelago) that are also dedicated to fostering new work. Perhaps the most unique example of support for new work here at Duke is the annual New Works Festival, held every spring as the culmination of a semester-long workshop course in which students work together to write, direct and stage a handful of short student-written plays. “The future of theater lies in the development of new work, not restaging the classics,” said Jeff Storer, creative director of the Man Bites Dog theater company and one of the professors team teaching the New Works workshop this year. “Here at Duke,” he said, “we are absolutely inundated with new work.”

Foley leads Blue Devils to easy

win

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Head coach Gail Goestenkors suspended junior Lindsey Harding indefinitely Wednesday after a violation of team policy. The duration of the suspension is uncertain, but Goestenkors said it is “not likely” that Harding will return for the season opener Nov. 12 against Davidson. “I apologize and feel like I let down myself, my team, my coaches and Duke University,” Harding said in a statement. “I have been going through a difficult time and will do everything in my power to make it up to all of them. I appreciate the support everyone has given me.” Harding did not dress for Wednesday night’s exhibition game against the EA Sports All-Stars, but the point guard sat on the bench as the Blue Devils cruised to an easy victory. The co-captain will continue to practice with the team and has retained her leadership position despite the suspension. “We are disappointed as Lindsey has played an important role on our squad over the last two years,” Goestenkors said. In Wednesday night’s scrimmage, a variety of other players shared the point guard duties, including Jessica Foley and Wanisha Smith. “Our lineup looks different without Lindsey in there and moving Jess to the point,” Goestenkors said. “She’s getting comfortable in that position and Wanisha [Smith] being a freshman, we just need to get her as many minutes at that spot as we can.”

With Alana Beard in attendance and Lindsey Harding’s suspension looming over the team, Jessica Foley stole the show, leading No. 6 Duke to an easy 91-62 victory against the EA SPORTS [62 EA Sports AllStars Wednesday DUKE 91 night. Starting at point guard because of Harding’s absence, Foley came out strong, scoring five points in the first three minutes to spark the Blue Devils. The junior guard scored 19 points, including four three-pointers while dishing out five assists. Harding’s absence forced the Blue Devils to use several different players at the point, including Foley, sophomore forward Monique Currie and freshman Wanisha Smith. At times, the team struggled to hold on to the ball but was able to exhibit enough control to keep its offense going. “I’m not fully comfortable in that position yet,” Foley said. “I had a few highs, but then I think I slowed down a bit on offense, dribbling around a little too much in the backcourt.” Currie chipped in with 16 points, displaying her inside-outside versatility throughout the game. The ACC Preseason Player of the Year also dominated the glass, pulling down 11 rebounds, five of them on offense. ‘Jess and Mo set the tone for us, calmed us down when we needed to be calmed down a little and hit big shots, which we’re -

THE CHRONICLE

CARY In her first game since being named 2004 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, senior Casey McCluskey proved she deserved the honor. Her first-half goal provided all the scores ing that 17thWAKE ranked Duke (13DUKE -3 6) needed as it shut out Wake Forest (10-6-2) in the quarterfinals of the ACC Women’s Soccer Championship, 3-0. The Blue Devils’ win sets up a semifinal matchup against No. 1 North Carolina Friday night at the SAS Soccer Complex in Cary, N.C. Maryland took the Tar Heels to double overtime, but sophomore Heather O’Reilly scored on a header three minutes in the 103rd minute to break the scoreless tie. In the last quarterfinal of the day, McCluskey began the scoring action with just under three and a half minutes to play in the opening half. Fellow co-captain

Carolyn Ford kicked a floating pass over

the Demon Deacon defense, and McCluskey chased the ball down the right side. With no one between her and the goalie, the senior hit a low shot for her 16th goal of the season. “She’s been there for us all year from day one in the preseason, all the way through the season,” head coach Robbie Church said. “It’s what you want your seniors to do. They’ve got to be the ones to step up. They’ve got to be the ones to lead.” In comparison to recent games, Duke did a better job Wednesday night at keeping its forwards onside during its counterattacks. Since the start of the season, the Blue Devils have adjusted their offensive scheme and are using more long passes from their backs to create scoring opportunities. “Our defenders have done a really good job recognizing the gaps in other teams’ defense,” McCluskey said. “Unfortunately SEE WOMEN’S SOCCER ON PAGE

EA SPORTS from page 9 to need from them all season long,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. The game’s defining play came five minutes into the second half, when Currie dove across the floor to scoop up a loose ball. She then passed the ball to Foley behind the three-point line. Foley nailed the shot, enlivening the Duke bench and the 2,154 people in attendance at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Sophomore captain Caitlin Howe and senior Wynter Whidey also scored in double figures with 11 and 10 points, respectively After one Howe basket in the second half, Beard, who was sitting behind the baseline, stood up and cheered, yelling, “That’s ‘Howe’ you do it.” In their first competition as Blue Devils, all three freshmen contributed to Duke’s commanding victory. Smith, who will see increased playing time until Harding returns, penetrated through the porous defense. “I think [Wanisha] gained confidence during the course of the game,” Goestenkors said. “I think the same thing with Chante [Black]. As the season progresses, they’re going to be big time players for us.” Black teamed up with Alison Bales on an imposing defensive front line, each tallying three blocks. One of Black’s blocks led to a Duke fast break that ended with an impressive give-and-go between Howe and Currie, who finished with a running layup. Throughout the game, the Blue Devils were able to capitalize on numerous fast breaks. “The first part of the season is really going to be about forming a new identity for this team,” Goestenkors said. “In particular this year, these games are important for us in seeing how we respond in different situations.” Although the team has yet to-set a starting lineup for the season, it has begun to make adjustments as the game progressed. Duke relied more on its zone defense than it has in the past. Besides a chance to employ some new sets, Wednesday night was an opportunity for the Blue Devils to finally play against a squad other than their own. “We’re sick of beating up on each other and killing each other in practice,” Currie said.

HARDING from page 9 Harding has dominated the point guard position for the last season and a half. The 5-foot-8 guard was selected to the All-ACC third team and started all but one game during her sophomore year. With 168 assists, she came within two of setdng the Duke single-season record while averaging 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds for the ACC champions. In addition to her offense, the junior earned an AllACC Defensive spot with her tenacious defense leading

“She was always on the ball for us and setting the tone defensively,” Goestenkors said. With Harding’s familiar face most likely out of the lineup, Duke will make adjustments on both sides of the court before tipping off against Davidson Nov. 12 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “It’s going to be a team effort bringing the ball down the floor and getting us into our offenses,” Goestenkors said. “There’s not that one person that is a true point guard with the kind of experience Lindsey has.”

WOMEN'S SOCCER in some of the past few games that we’ve lost, the forwards have been caught offside a lot, and we’ve been working on that. I think in this game we worked really hard staying in line with the defense.” Although the Blue Devils prevented any serious scoring threats, they played sluggish soccer at times during the first half, Church said. After talking to the team at the break, Church inspired his players to come out of the locker room with a lot more aggression, particularly on the defensive side. The Blue Devils did not allow the Demon Deacons to muster a single shot in the final period of play. “I thought they did a really good job, especially in the second half,” Church said. “What I thought the difference was in the second half was that we had a lot more pressure from our high players, our forwards and our midfielders, so they weren’t able to serve as many long balls in the second half as they were in the first half.” Although the Blue Devils defeatedWake Forest 2-0 ear-

Her this season, Duke’s talent and execution still impressed Wake Forest head coach Tony daLuz last night. “Carolyn Ford is very underrated, probably the best center-back in our league,” da Luz said. “And McCluskey, she delivers again in the big games. They’ve got a great mix of players, and they just took it to us.” McCluskey assisted on Duke’s second goal, using her speed to cut to the left and then around a Demon Deacon defender.She sent a pass to the center of the box, and junior Carolyn Riggs, whose quickness frustrated the Wake Forest defense all night, knocked a shot into the bottom right corner of the net. Sophomore Darby Kroyer tapped in the rebound from freshman Lorraine Quinn’s shot to add the game’s third goal with just over 12 minutes remaining. In the day’s other quarterfinal matches, Virginia crushed in-state rival Virginia Tech, 8-0, and Clemson upset No. 20 Florida State on penalty kicks after the Squads battled to a 2-2 tie through two overtimes. The Cavaliers and Tigers will play in the first semifinal at 5 p.m. Friday and Duke and North Carolina will follow at approximately 7:30 p.m.

address assault

In the aftermath of the retracted assault report, I have had a series of reactions. I am extremely relieved to know that my friend was not attacked. I am also frightened and worried for her psychological and physical well-being. As a friend of hers with similar goals of raising Duke’s assault awareness, I had several conversations with her about how frustrating it is to watch students’ anger rise immediately after high-profile assaults, only to dissipate a few days later. It troubles me deeply that she unintentionally undermined die cause for which we both fought so strongly, and that she did so in such an ih logical and irresponsible way. And I am furious at the prospect that this incident may be used to invalidate or discourage women who have been assaulted from coming forward to report their stories. That unfortunate prospect is the focus of my letter today. According to the National Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the Office for Victims of Crime, false reports are estimated to comprise only 2 percent of reported cases. The asymmetrical amount of press that these cases receive is dreadfully misleading. It is important to realize that the reason that these events incite so much press response is because of their relative rarity and scandalous nature. Equally important to remember—as another fact which often receives less than its due press time—is the frightening fact that the majority of assaults on Duke’s campus are perpetrated by acquaintances, not strangers. It is utterly crucial to understand that the climate of support and respect the Duke ad-

ministration holds towards survivors must and will not change in the wake of this news. The University’s response to this and related events is indicative of its support: though inconsistencies with the 2002 account were apparent immediately after it was reported, the University took it seriously and has kept the investigation open for upwards of two years. University policy is, according to SASS, to assume survivor honesty and to then conduct a meticulous and respectful investigation. The fact that this particular assault was fabricated will not change that stance. Duke will continue to be a place that and works to make sure that survivors of sexual assault receive the help and support that they need. The University is not infallible, but the credit that it receives for its efforts is often diminutive compared to that which it deserves. I am comforted by the fact that the retraction of this report was made public because of late, the climate of fear among Duke students has been heightened beyond any semblance of appropriateness or normalcy. I hope that this news will allay the fears of students somewhat, so that we can attempt to rebuild trust and confidence in the administration’s protection of the community in which we live. It is imperative that we understand, however, that to use this isolated and atypical incident as a means to devalue and discredit the reports of survivors is absolutely inappropriate and fundamentally wrong. not

Why Kerry lost “I think the Union army had something to do with it. Gen. George Pickett, years afterward, on why his charge at Gettysburg failed. WASHINGTON John Kerry’s liberalism had something to do with his defeat. Hence so did this: By Jan. 20, 2009, all the elected presidents for 44 consecutive years will have come from three Southern states and Southern California. Kerry ran a high-risk “biography candidacy” based on a four-month period 35 years ago. His contrasting silence about his 20 Senate years echoed. He was an anomalous kind of challenger. The most important changes he promised would be either restorations or resistances. That is, he campaigned as the candidate of complacency, albeit a curdled, backward-looking complacency. Regarding foreign policy, he promised to turn the clock back. Regarding domestic policy, he promised to stop the clock. Never in this marathon did Kerry himself do anything to change the campaign’s dynamics. He counted on events in Iraq, and on the power of his party’s unconcealed belief that Bush is an imbecile. But Democrats cannot disguise from the country their bewilderment about how to appeal to a country that is so backward, they think, that it finds Bush appealing. Democrats, notoriously cold toward losing candidates they have improvidendy nominated, resemble Dallas fans as described by quarterback Roger Staubach: “Cowboy fans love you, win or tie.” They should rethink their compressed nominating calendar and the fetish of allowing those lowa and New Hampshire, rather than, say, Michigan, to dominate the process.

guest commentary a senator— it is 44 years since one was elected president—and one more liberal than Walter Mondale, the Democratic Party should purge its Michael Moore faction. Moore, the vulgarian who made the movie “Fahrenheit 9/11,” is unhinged by his loathing of Bush—and of the country that has now re-elected him. Moore and the hordes of his enthusiasts are a stain on the party—as are those Democratic senators and representatives who last June made a merry festival of the movie’s Washington premiere. Moore illustrates the fact that the Republican Party benefits when the entertainment industry and major journalistic institutions (e.g., The New\hrk Times, CBS News) enlist as appendages of the Democratic Party’s advocacy apparatus. Never have American politics been more organized around ideologically homogenous parties. Just 25 years ago there were many liberals and conservatives in both parties. On Tuesday, four moderate-to-conservative Texas Democratic congressmen were defeated, the result of a second redistricting since the 2000 census. A conservative Georgia Republican won a Senate seat vacated by a conservative Democrat and a conservative Louisiana Republican won a seat vacated by a moderate Democrat. This continues—and very nearly completes—the process of producing a perfect overlap ofAmerica’s ideological and party parameters. Unlike the two most recent incumbent presidents re-elected, Bush did not run on rhetorical froth. He will feel vindicated in his foreign policy and empowered for his well-advertised domestic agenda of tax cuts, tort reform, entidementreform and conservative judicial nominees. In the 37 elections since 1860—the first won by a Republican —Democrats have won only 14. Only twice in 15 post-World War II elections has the Democratic nominee achieved 50 percent of the vote. American politics has known many oscillations. Now, however, there is an astonishing stasis, immune even to the winds of war. Since 2000, the issues driving civic discourse have changed radically but the electoral map has changed negligibly. The only 2000 red state that turned blue this year—New Hampshire—made the Northeast, from Pennsylvania and New Jersey to Maine, monochrome. New Mexico, a 2000 blue state that turned red (or seems to have, as this is written Wednesday morning), completes a red swath from California’s southeastern border to the Atlantic. The nation’s population center did not cross the Mississippi until the 1980 census. Today it is in Phelps County, Mo., heading southwest, away from the Democratic Party with its apparently metabolic impulse to ignore such realities. nating:

Rededicated Redick assumes team helm by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s NCAA Tournament runs have come to crashing ends each of the last two seasons, and both times JJ. Redick had the ball. As a freshman he went 2-for-16 against Kansas in the Sweet 16, when the Blue Devils fell 69-65. Then, last year in the Final Four, Redick missed two consecutive shots in the waning moments of Duke’s heartbreaking 79-78 loss to Connecticut. At the end of each season, he was not having fun on the court anymore. Realizing something had to change, the junior rededicated himself to basketball this summer. “I wanted to make basketball fun again and I wanted to commit myself to that,” Redick said. “I was going to be an upperclassman and it was time to get serious and put in the work to be a good player.” Redick remained in Durham for both summer sessions to take classes and prepare for the difficult preseason. He participated in daily workouts with fellow teammates Junior Sean Dockery, freshmen DeMarcus Nelson and David McClure, and even worked out with NBA stars like Mike Dunleavy, who were in town for part of the summer. “I am in the best shape of my life,” Redick said. “I really don’t ever get tired out there. There are certain things that if any player did he’d get tired, but as far as

just going up and down the court and playing hard every play, I don’t get tired. It’s helped me to maintain my leg strength and my wind.” Throughout the preseason, which many of the players have described as the hardest one since they’ve been at Duke, Redick’s teammates have admired his new energy and enthusiasm for the basketball and conditioning drills. “He has had some distractions in the past two years that really affected him to becoming the best player he can become,” senior Daniel Ewing said. “He basically matured and cut down on some of the outside activities and really focused.” During the past two seasons team members have questioned the shooting guard’s work ethic, which has, at times, made for a shaky rapport with some other players. “My relationship with my teammates is great,” Redick said during the preseason. “I think it has improved a lot in the past six months. I think I really turned a corner this summer with my commitment and my work ethic, and I think my teammates saw that.” The coaching staff, which played an integral role in this turnaround by providing much of the necessary guidance and resources, has been equally impressed. Redick said he has always had a strong bond with assistant coach Chris Collins, SEE REDICK ON PAGE 32

Despite their familiarity with his appearance, however, few fans know that Williams was first a baseball, football and soccer player before falling in love with basketball, that he is an especially reserved person and that every summer he used to fish with his father Bob and brother Quincy. “One of the funniest stories is once my brother caught a fish, and he was going to put his hand on it and he wasn’t expecting it to move, and he got scared and threw the whole [pole] into the lake,” Williams said. “But ever since basketball has taken over I’ve had less and less time to fish.” Williams, who is already a player noted for his strong work ethic, increased his workout intensity during the off-season to further improve his game. The Forest Park, Okla. native, blossomed during Duke’s 2003-04 campaign, earning the nickname “The Landlord” by posting three blocks per game and deterring opposing players from driving the lane. He also put up 12.6 points per game, 8.5 rebounds per game and had a .586 fieldgoal percentage. Despite his solid statistics, the Achilles’

heel that took the Landlord away from his property and to the bench was foul trouble. Williams committed at least four fouls in four of Duke’s six losses last season and fouled out against Maryland in the ACC Championship Game and in the 79-78 Final Four loss to Connecticut. “I think I’m in better shape where I won’t get tired at the [same] points as I did last year,” Williams said. “You know you have to be on the floor for the team to win, as we saw in different games last year.” Head coach Mike Krzyzewski emphasized avoiding foul trouble during the off-season because several players, Williams included, picked up quick fouls that ultimately led to the team’s demise against UConn. Krzyzewski thinks another year of experience will prevent his two main big men, Williams and junior Shavlik Randolph, from falling into similar traps this season. “The fact that [Williams and Randolph] are both juniors, as you grow older, you learn how to play better tired,” Krzyzewski said. “Your limit is stretched because you are not using as much emotional energy.” At the rate Williams is developing, many believe he is a strong contender and possibly a favorite to make first-team AllACC. This is a tall order considering the SEE LANDLORD ON PAGE 31

MIN’S HOOPS

Quiet leader poised to enter new phase by

Sarah Kwak

THE CHRONICLE

Three years ago, Daniel Ewing Joined the reigning National Championship Duke team as the lone scholarship freshman. Today, the senior captain sits atop a team that has given him the opportunity to play, grow and now, lead. Although he is an integral member of the basketball team, Ewing maintains a low profile on a campus that often knows too much about its athletes. Widely perceived as shy and quiet, perhaps even a loner, Ewing is grounded, humble and matureI—qualities—qualities that he takes with him into the locker room and onto the court. “He’s not this ‘rah rah’ type, but he’s got a strength to him,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s a very unselfish guy. He works all the time so his best thing is to lead through example and quiet talk.” Ewing is quick to mention the influences of previous Duke leaders even before talking about himself. He only admits one accomplishment without hesitation: “I’m the champ right now in pretty much every sports video game,” he said with a laugh. He describes himself as just a regular guy without mentioning his 59 career double-figure scoring games or his 2003 ACC Tournament MVP award. “What you see is pretty much what you get,” he said. “I’m a laid-back guy. I don’t do too much hollering, ranting and raving, but when I get on that court, I get the job done the best way I can.” Ewing said he understands the role he plays for his team because of his experience with former leaders. He recalled some of his past conversations with former captain Chris Duhon, who encouraged Ewing to lead by being himself. Having played under the leadership of Jay Williams, Dahntay Jones, Carlos Boozer, Duhon and Coach K, Ewing approaches his role with maturity and self-awareness. “I can’t go out there and try to be like Chris,” Ewing said. “I have to be Daniel Ewing and do it the way that Daniel Ewing does it, but do it effectively to help the

other great leaders, but it needs to be in your type of way.” This mature attitude with which he approaches his role as senior captain manifests itself on the court, but it was cultivated by his family, which has been his inspiration throughout his life. ‘Without my family, I wouldn’t be the person that I am today,” Ewing said. “My family has really supported me since I was born and been behind me in everything. I just want to be able to tell my dad sometime in the near future that he can stop working, and be able to take care of him and my mother. That’s really what inspires

REGGIE IQWI

Coach K holds on to Love by

Jason Strasser

THE CHRONICLE

Richard and Lynette Love

thought their son was done with college, but they were wrong. After the Green Bay Packers Reggie from preseason camp, he decided, with a bit of reluctance but plenty of urge, to return to Duke and pursue a second degree, taking his last year of basketball eligibility. “It was a hard decision to make,” Love said. “I really wanted to come back—it was definitely what I wanted to do. But I guess there comes a point in your life where especially your parents say, ‘Well, college should be over now.’ So that made it a more difficult choice than anything, but as far as wanting to come back to play, that was never an issue.” Love played four years as a wideout on the football team, totaling 75 receptions for 895 yards and six touchdowns. But during his freshman and sophomore seasons, he also played sparingly as a freshman walk-on on the basketball team and backed up Carlos Boozer during Duke’s 2001 championship run. For his career, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound forward averaged 1.1 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. This year, the Blue Devils are thin in the frontcourt. Head cut their son

coach Mike Krzyzewski will rely heavily on Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams to soak up a majority of the minutes in the paint. The two juniors, however, proved that foul trouble can sometimes be a huge dilemma, and Love gives Krzyzewski an athlete—and a body—off the bench. “Reggie gives us another guy,” Williams said. “We’ve only got two big guys on our team this year, and he gives us another big guy kind of presence. He’s a person who fits in. He doesn’t have to have a major role —just come in, play his role, do his thing, get some rebounds, try to relieve me and Shav.” The senior is also in the best basketball shape of his life, having gone through his first preseason conditioning program with the team. Krzyzewski said he has been impressed with his presence in practice and his six-point, eight-rebound, three-assist performance during the Blue-White Scrimmage last Saturday. “Reggie will play significant minutes for us,” said Krzyzewski, stressing that Love would be a part ofany regular rotation. “He’s a good player. We have a very mature guy who wants to be a good role player for us. I’m surprised he’s as ball-friendly as he is. We’re very fortunate to have him.” But things have not always

been smooth between Love and Krzyzewski. During Love’s sophomore season, Krzyzewski suspended him after Love was charged with driving while intoxicated Nov. 10, 2001. The charge was later dismissed, but Love still missed the end of the regular season and the entire ACC Tournament, returning for the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Love did not return to the basketball team his junior year for unspecified reasons and only played football. Nude photographs of Love at a North Carolina fraternity house also circulated around the Internet and even in the national media. Had Love continued as a twosport athlete, he would have simultaneously played out his four years of eligibility. But with the way things worked out, head football coach Ted Roof can now watch his former receiver return from the stands instead of the sidelines. “It’s great that he came back to do this and probably great for Reggie to be around Coach K and that basketball program, with all the success they had and all the things they do to develop young people,” Roof said. “I think it’ll be good for Reggie, and from what I understand he’s going to help them out SEE LOVE ON PAGE 33

DeMarcus Nelson is the kind of guy that, had you never met him, might have really bothered you in high school. He is the kind of guy that seems to be able to do anything. The kind of guy that can fit in with any group, talk to anyone and always know what to say, earn good enough grades to keep himself on the honor roll and play basketball and football well enough to be named an AllAmerican in both. Of course, the same master-of-all-trades quality that might irk those who have never met him endears him to those who know him best. And this season, the 6-foot3, 195-pound freshman’s versatile basketball skills and impressive maturity will endear him to Duke fans. Although Nelson’s ability to finish near the basket has drawn comparisons to former Blue Devil great Jay Williams, his strength and versatility—as well as Duke’s lack of depth —may force him to into a role more like those once filled by taller players such as Grant Hill or Luol Deng. “I see my r01e... as being aggressive, looking to score—that’s something I’ve always done my whole life—and helping the team that way,” Nelson said. “But not only that, playing as a second guard, handling the ball as I did [in the Blue-White Scrimmage] and getting other people involved and creating shots for other teammates. And then, playing good defense, rebounding, getting steals and finishing hard to the bucket... I can do a lot of different things on the court.” Although Nelson will miss two to four weeks of the preseason with a broken hand, head coach Mike Krzyzewski sees the solidily built freshman filling an even more expanded role when he does return, envisioning him playing every position except center.

“Nelson’s got to be able to play every position on the perimeter, but if we go small at times and want to press, he might be the second big, because he’s the strongest of all the perimeter guys,” Krzyzewski said. “And so we can develop some depth by having multiple responsibilities.” California’s reigning Mr. Basketball

demonstrated his ability to rack up statistics and play solid defense while in high school. Nelson holds the California high school career scoring record with 3,462 points, ranks third all-time in career

"Nelson's got to be able to play every position on the perimeter, but if we go small at times and want to press, he might be the second big, because he's the strongest of all the perimeter guys." Mike Krzyzewski rebounds with 1,522 and is ninth in career assists with 791. He averaged at least 30 points and 10 rebounds during each ofhis last three years in high school. Despite his prolific scoring ability, Nelson knows that he will often be asked to sacrifice his own shots to set up teammates this season, a role that he accepts eagerly. ‘Teams are going to put all the pressure and try to highlightJJ.

DfltflD MCCLURE

Freshman content to stay out of spotlight by

David McClure, a freshman from Ridgefield, Conn., hopes to experience Duke beyond the basketball court.

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils will count on David McClure to lead his team to many victories during his career at Duke—but not necessarily right away, and not in the ways normally expected of recruits coming to Durham. McClure is often forgotten about in the shadow of fellow freshman DeMarcus Nelson’s flashy moves and scoring prowess. But McClure was recruited to contribute in a bevy of other ways, even if they do not always show up on the stat line. “We have so many great players on this team,” McClure said. “With weapons like that out there you have to try and get those guys open by setting screens and hitting them with passes and picking my spots when I have them.” Barring any injuries, it is possible that McClure will be left out of the eight-man rotation employed by head coach Mike Krzyzewski. Knowing how thin the Blue Devils are this year, though, the coaching staff has asked McClure to learn a number of different positions and get used to a myriad of roles in practice. So far in the team’s workouts Duke has used McClure mainly at the two forward positions, but the coaching staff has also experimented with the lanky 6-foot-6 athlete at

the guard slot. He played center for his high school team and shooting guard for his AAU team. His versatility allows Duke a much broader range of lineup possibilities if the Blue Devils choose to use him, creating a great insurance policy should injuries pile up. “I’ve been trying to find my role out there,” McClure said. “I’ve been trying to get used to the system, fit in with everything and get used to things going at a different pace.” McClure was known in high school as a tenacious rebounder and an adept scorer on both the inside and outside. His outside shooting was a weakness, but he said he has worked hard at it since last season. More than his on-court performance, though, McClure should contribute exceptional leadership qualities for years to come. There have even been many early comparisons, in terms of demeanor, to Shane Battier. His humility contributes to his leadership qualities that were so highly touted before Duke. “Right now I’m just really worried about this year,” he said. “Only time will fell. I think that everybody on pur team has to step up and be a leader at some point. That’s how we’re going to win— SEE MCCLURE ON PAGE 33

MISTiE WILLIAMS

WOMEN S HOOPS

Name of the game: Mistie still the same by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Listen up and listen closely Blue Devil fans. The player formerly known as Mistie Bass will now go by Mistie Williams, after her August wedding to Kenneth Williams. Don’t worry if the name change is too tough to remember, though, because women’s basketball head coach Gail Goestenkors is struggling with it too. “It’s just like one word for me: Mistie Bass,” Goestenkors said. “I don’t think of her as a married woman. I just have to get used to that last name change a little bit because I think I have called her that in practice. I have to catch myself.” Name change aside, the addition of Williams’ husband to the Blue Devil family poses some tough questions for the team this year. Will die new Mistie Williams care as much about the team now? Will she fit in with her teammates any differently? Bass —Williams, rather—claims her new status has in fact had a positive effect on her basketball life and interaction with the team. “I think my communication skills with my teammates are so much better,” she said. “It’s not really different. Once I leave home, I’m just a teammate, and I don’t necessarily bring [my marriage] into the locker room or onto the court.” The junior does admit, though, that getting hitched did cause a bit of trepidation among her fellow players and coaching staff. “My biggest worry was that they would

think I wasn’t as committed as before,” Williams said. “I think the coaches had a fear of that as well—that I wouldn’t work as hard, that I was just ‘the wife’ and I’m not going to work as hard as before.” Before her marriage, Williams sat down with Goestenkors and discussed the potential impact that such a drastic change in her personal life could have on the team. Williams reassured her coach that she could draw a line between personal and public life and would not alienate herself from the team. So far at least, it seems like Williams has made good on her vow, and both coach and players agree that this year’s team is closer than recent Duke squads. ‘The team has spent a lot of time at Mistie’s house and vice versa,” Goestenkors said. They’ve really made the effort. They know that for us to be as successful as they want to be, they have to work together and trust each other.” Her teammates echo this feeling of good will. “I have no idea why, but chemistry is not an issue,” junior point guard Lindsey Harding said. “Most teams always contain little cliques, but with this team I can always call anyone, and we are good to go.” Goestenkors was also quick to point out that the adjustment has not been difficult because Williams still lives on campus.

THE FRESHMEN

Trio of freshmen to plug sizeable gaps by

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

The best Duke women’s basketball class ever is now history. Alana Beard, Iciss Tillis and Vicki Krapohl graduated and Brittany Hunter transferred, leaving gaping holes in the Blue Devils’ roster. Head coach Gail Goestenkors, however, believes her newest recruiting class of Chante Black, Laura Kurz and Wanisha Smith will be able to fill in successfully. “They’re all going to help us, and they’re all going to us immediately,” help Goestenkors said. “We lost a player at the point, the wing and the post, and that’s what we signed.” The Blue Devils’ top prospect, Black, a 6-foot-5 center, was the Gatorade North Carolina Player of the Year and has the talent to be an impact player from the get-go. “Chante Black is going to be, in my opinion, one of the best post players ever to wear a Duke uniform,” Goestenkors said. “She’s outstanding. I told her that I expect her to break all of the rebounding and shot-blocking records here at Duke.” As a senior at East Forsyth High School in Winston-Salem, N.C., Black averaged an im-

pressive 19.8 points, 16.3 rebounds, 4.8 blocks and 4.2 assists. Her teammates are excited about her developing game, which should add interior defense and rebounding to the Blue Devil roster. [Black] is going to be center Mistie amazing,” Williams said. “She is like a sponge—the type of player that works on every aspect of her game... I think that’s the mark of a great player.” Black, although bigger and more of an inside presence than her predecessor, fills a role formerly occupied by Tillis, but the Blue Devils need to plug an even bigger gap vacated by Beard, the two-time National Player of the Year. Kurz, a 6-foot-2 sharpshooter who shot an astounding 59 percent from beyond the arc in high school last season, will help make up for Beard’s loss with points from the perimeter. “

Goestenkors, however, prefers

to compare Kurz to another Duke great. “She reminds me a little of Michael Dunleavy his freshman year,” Goestenkors said. “Long, lanky, can shoot the three very well, understands the game but needs to get a little bit

stronger.”

The third incoming freshman is the most versatile in her class. At 5-foot-11, Smith is capable of playing both the point and shooting guard positions. In the 2004 McDonald’s All-American game, Smith scored 15 points off the bench, illustrating her explosive offensive ability. “[Smith] makes things happen,” Goestenkors said. “She can get to the basket, she has a real flair for the game. She’s going to help us at that point

position.” Because of the Blue Devils’ depth at guard, Smith will probably start as a reserve, but that does not seem to bother her. “I think my role is going to be to bring a lot of energy to the team and to come to practice with the most intensity and back up our guards and do whatever I can,” Smith said. Although Goestenkors does not expect her freshman trio to equal the production of her much-heralded graduated class, she anticipates that the three will fill numerous roles on a team that has just seven other eligible players. “I just wanted to work hard and play as best as I could, and whatever happens happens,” Kurz said.

WOMEN’S HOOPS

Currie grapples with new leadership post Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

Just call her The Skipper.

Monique Currie thinks of herself as a different kind of leader. Many captains prefer to rally their teams byway of impassioned speeches or intense emotion on the court, but Duke’s new go-to player prefers a more casual approach. “I think I’m a lot more laid-back than captains in the past,” Currie said. “I try' not to let the rest of the team get uptight or feel pressure, because if people dghten up, they don’t play so well. I just try to encourage a more relaxed method, and usually good things tend to happen.” Currie learned patience the hard way. After averaging 14.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in one of the best freshman seasons in Duke history, Currie tore her ACL in the first game of her

sophomore season.

She has successfully rebounded from her injury and will now join college basketball’s elite. Eighty-one points away from being the 18th member of Duke’s 1,000-point club, Currie is also a National Player of the Year candidate and the ACC’s Preseason Player of the Year, a title she quickly downplays. “It’s an honor, but at the same time they picked our team to finish second,” Currie said. “So that takes away from that nomination. I’m just looking to get wins however I can, that’s what is most important to me.” 2003-2004 captain Alana Beard had a significant impact on Currie, who still considers the Washington Mystic to be the best player she’s ever played with or against. “1 learned a lot from Alana,” Currie said. “She comes to practice every day just to work really hard. She put her all into every drill, and every practice and every game, and it rubs off on you. You want to work just as hard as her in order to get to the same level that she’s at.” In her first two seasons Currie’s style of play has been slasher first, shooter second. In the off-season, though, she focused on diversifying her game and pol-

ishing her three-point shot. After spending two season’s as the Blue Devils’ third option behind Beard and Iciss Tillis, the Washington, D.C., native believes she is ready to not only assume leadership, but also become the team’s

primary' scorer. “I didn’t really see myself in a shadow, but I could see how other people might think that,” Currie said. “I have a role that

people dream about growing up—being

able to lead a team and try to lead them to great things. It’s a great feeling.” As Currie has risen to the top of Duke’s program, her relationship with head coach Gail Goestenkors has gelled. The junior says she now visits her coach’s office more frequently in order to relate Goestenkors’s expectations to her teammates. In part a result of these visits, Goestenkors believes Currie is ready to embrace the captain’s position. “Mo has always been the tough one on the team and she leads by example with her toughness,” Goestenkors said. “But this year she’s become a much better communicator with her teammates because she knows we’re young and she needs to be very positive for them as well. All of the players have remarked that she’s become a great leader for us.” Currie will have a tough task ahead of her, as she tries to break her team’s string of recent of NCAA Tournament disappointments. Last year’s loss to Minnesota, in the Elite Eight was especially frustrating. “Obviously it wasn’t the ending we were hoping for,” Currie said. “It hurts a lot because we know we worked so hard and still came up short. But it was their day, so we have to live with it and move on.” Currie’s success will be the key to matching her own lofty expectations, and she will need to fill the potential void left by the departure of last year’s seniors. “We know how good we are and we know what we can do. We’re ready to go out there and prove it to everybody else,” Currie said. “We’re going to win it all this year. Our goals don’t change.”

On hold for year, transfer preps to hit floor Waiter's sister to join squad as freshman next season by

Chrissde Gorman THE CHRONICLE

Prepare for Waners’ world at Duke. Next year, sisters Abby and Emily Waner will both be playing for head coach Gail Goestenkors’ women’s basketball squad. Emily, a sophomore transfer from Colorado, must abide by NCAA regulations and watch from the sidelines this season. Abby, a high school senior who committed to Duke in early June, will join her sister on the 2005 active roster. For now, Emily is adjusting to life in North Carolina, a far cry from the mountains of Colorado. “It was really scary when I made the decision to leave,” Waner said. “I was really comfortable, but I needed this. I needed to go somewhere far from home and try something different.” Emily originally decided to attend Colorado to play for a program close to her Highlands Ranch, Colo., home. After becoming a Buffalo, however, Emily met Duke assistant coach Gale Valley, who was scouting the younger Waner. Shortly after Abby decided to play for Goestenkors, Emily annouced that she would follow her sister to Durham. The younger Waner sister, who was more highly recruited than Emily, was a member of the undefeated 2004 USA Women’s Junior World Championship Qualifying Team, averaging an impressive 17.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.8 steals per game. Heading into her senior year at Thunderßidge High School, she is considered to be one of the top shooting guards in the country. Abby was not the only Waner sister to flash some talent on the court last year. At Colorado, Emily showed an ability to suceed at the Division I level and was the first true freshman to start for Colorado since the 20002001 season. In her year with the Buffalos, Emily was named Big 12 Freshman of the Week twice, averaging 7.1 points per game. Although she has only been through part of her first presason, Emily has already noticed differences between the Colorado and Duke programs. Specifically, the Blue Devils have better team chemistry, she said. “Coach G does a lot of team bonding stuff,” Emily said. “There are a lot of meetings with you as an individual, a lot of goal setting and inspirational quotes.” One change that has not quite hit the sophomore yet

In practice, Emily has had to adjust to sometimes playing with the male practice squad rather than with her teammates. She plans to use this year as a time to be “a student of the game” and to get adjusted to Goestenkors’ coaching style. Off the court, Emily is transitioning to a much smaller collegiate atmosphere. The former business student changed her academic track at Duke and is now considering medicine.

The older Waner sister is easing into a new setting and is eagerly anticipating becoming an eligible player on the Duke team a year from now. “One thing I really noticed was that everyone is real supportive of each other,” Emily said. “There is a lot of talking and cheering each other on. There is a lot of enthusiasm and that is just in practice. I can’t wait to see the games.”

Can eating disorders cause dental problems?

Yes. Bulimia and anorexia nervosa are two serious eating disorders Each can cause problems in your mouth. Anorexia nervosa is an unnatural fear of gaining weight. Bulimia is a condition in which a person compulsively overeats and then induces vomiting to get rid of the food. Some anorexics also induce vomiting. The danger to teeth comes from stomach acid that is regurgitated into the mouth by vomiting and severely eroding tooth enamel. Women from their teens into their thirties are most at risk for developing eating disorders, although males are also included. A dentist may be able to restore eroded teeth, and may also raise concern over possible eating disorders. Depression often accompanies eating disorders and affected people, whether bulimic or anorexic, will often develop poor oral hygiene habits. Problems like periodontal disease can develop. While a dentist can treat the appearance of teeth with cosmetic dentistry, the underlying causes of enamel erosion may require medical intervention. Regular dental checkups should be part of yourplan for maintaining your overall health. Presented as a service to theDuke Community by Dr. Peter A. Tzendzalian, DDS. More questions? Call me.

ACC BASKETBALL PREVIEW

2001

Bolstered UNC, Maryland to challenge Duke Leslie Cooper THE CHRONICLE

After winning five straight ACC titles, Duke looks vulnerable in a league it has recently dominated. Preseason favorite North Carolina and up-and-coming Maryland appear ready to snatch the crown. The ACC has not traditionally been a women’s basketball powerhouse or the site of Duke’s most dangerous competition, but running unscathed through the ACC this season will be more difficult than in years past. With a promising outlook for the Tar Heels and Terrapins, and the addition of 2004 NCAA Tournament qualifiers Miami and Virginia Tech, the ACC will provide Duke with substantial competition this season. Despite losing 12 straight games to the Blue Devils, the Tar Heels are talented enough to regain Tobacco Road bragging rights. With three potential matchups against Duke this season, UNC will rely on its sophomore tandem of Ivory Latta and Camille Little to make the series competitive. “Carolina is always, always good,” Blue Devil head coach Gail Goestenkors said of a team ranked above Duke in the preseason ACC media poll. “They have just such great experience coming back from last year that I think they’ll be a team that could do great things this year.” North Carolina’s high hopes are based on a solid foundation of depth and experience. The Tar Heels return all but one starter, including Litde, last season’s ACC Rookie of the Year. Swing forward

UNC has lost 12 consective games to Duke but the sophomore duo ofCamilleLittle and Ivory Latta hopes to reverse recent history. ACC Rookie of the Year, complements National Player of the Year candidates Latta and Litde. “We’re very athletic, and we have a lot of players that can play a lot of positions,” North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “We’ll play an uptempo, fast-breaking style, and

we have good depth to do that.” Coming off its first NCAA Tournament win in 12 years, Maryland is another conference team on the rise. “I think Maryland is really ready to break through,” Goestenkors said of a team that challenged Duke in last year’s

ACC Tournament. “They have some outstanding sophomores, and they’ve signed some great freshmen as well. So I think they’re young, but they’ve got all the pieces, so I think they’ll be a team to be reckoned with in our conference.” Picked third in the ACC presea-

son poll, the young Terrapin squad includes two returning ACC AllFreshman Team honorees, Shay Doron and Kalika France. Maryland also boasts four promising young freshmen as part of the nation’s second-ranked recruiting class. “I think that we need to be cautiously optimistic with this team,” Terrapin head coach Brenda Frese said. “Eight of our 11 scholarship players are freshmen and sophomores. So although this is by far the most talent that we’ve had since I’ve been here, we have to keep in perspective that there are going to be four freshmen playing a substantial amount of time for us.” ACC newcomers Miami and Virginia Tech will bolster the conference’s depth. ‘The two teams coming in are NCAA Tournament teams, so all the sudden our league becomes a much better league,” Goestenkors said. “I think that’s good, I think we need that.” Junior Tamara James, a first team All-Big East forward and a member of the Preseason AllACC Team, anchors the Miami squad. Returning seniors Yalonda McCormick and Melissa Knight may become impact players in the conference, head coach Feme Labati said. Adjusting to a new coach, along with its conference change, Virginia Tech is not as likely to be a force in the ACC. The Hokies do have an experienced squad, however, with four

returning

starters.

Although Duke will still face the majority ofits tough matchups out of conference, this season’s ACC contests will pose more of a challenge to the Blue Devils than they have in recent years.

ACC BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Despite expansion, ACC on top Nation's premier conference boasts 3 of 4 best teams by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

When the presidents voted to expand the ACC from nine to 11 schools in the summer of 2003, many traditionalists feared that expansion would dilute and hurt basketball, the sport that gave the league its reputation. A glance at the conference this season proves that, at least in the short run, those skeptics were wrong. The ACC is the best conference in the nation once again, boasting three of the top four teams in the preseason coaches’ poll and six of the top 19 overall. “I think it’s the best the league has ever been, I believe ever in my lifetime anyway. 1 can never remember, as you said, the team that wins the ACC Tournament loses one player and people are saying their fifth or sixth [the following year],” North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said of defending ACC Tournament champion

Although expansion should not result in a competitive drop-off, the addition of Miami and Virginia Tech forced the league to abandon its double round-robin schedule format. The shift makes it difficult for the league to crown a true regular season champion as schools’ strength of schedule will vary. A league that was tremendously young a year ago returns much of its firepower. Eleven members of the ACC’s first, second and third teams have come back, including ACC Player of the Year Julius Hodge from N.C. State, Freshman of the Year Chris Paul from Wake Forest and the league’s leading scorer Rashad McCants from North Carolina. The Demon Deacons and the Tar Heels, who were selected as the No. 1 and 2 teams in the ACC, respectively, are each returning all of major contributors from last season. Duke, which had been selected to finish first in the conference’s preseason poll for the past four years, is ranked fourth. The Blue Devils may have lost the most talent of

Mistie Williams anchors a deep core of Blue Devils on the block. Using her 6-foot-3 frame, Williams deters penetrators from driving to the basket and posts up opponents on the other end of the floor. Monique Currie is Duke's most versatile player and second option down low. The junior can go hard to the hoop with a quick first step from the outside or overpower a defender with her back to the basket. Alison Bales is Duke's tallest player at 6-foot-7, but the sophomore is

unproven. Freshman Chante Black will give the Blue Devils yet another option inside.

With the loss of a senior class that posted a four-year ACC record of 604, the Duke women’s basketball team is looking to its 10eligible players to fill the roles once dominated by that three-memberclass. Despite the losses, the goals remain the same; win the ACC title and compete for a National Championship. The Blue Devils, however, have a lot of adjusting to do without two-time National Player of the Year and all-time leading scorer Alana Beard. “When you’re at the top, you are constantly being fought,” said junior Mistie Williams. “Now that we are the underdogs, we can go after those people who are ranked above us... We still have incredible players reader to fight, ready to win.” Lindsey Harding’s on-the-ball perimeter defense coupled with the Blue Devils’ interior size gives Duke a relatively strong defensive game. Duke lacks the go-to player that is had the past four seasons, but a core of juniors will provide several proven scoring options. Power forward Monique Currie, point guard Harding and center Williams are the skeleton of Duke’s motion offense. Freshman Laura Kurz, junior Jessica Foley and redshirt sophomore Caidin Howe, who is healthy for the first time in her three-year Duke career, are perimeter sharpshooters, opening up lanes for slashers Harding and Currie. “[We are running] three out, two in motion with the post and the high-low post areas and really have been working on our post game and passing the ball inside,” Goestenkors said. “We’re really making that an emphasis of the team this year.” Duke’s most versatile player, Currie, will assume on-court leadership, a role in which she is only moderately comfortable. Currie, who is a co-captain along with Harding and Howe, was named preseason ACC Player of the Year after earning second-team All-ACC honors last season.

BACKCOURT

Lindsey Harding is not only Duke's point guard, she's also the team's most dynamic outside scorer. The junior can shoot the three but is known more for her slashing ability. Currie will contribute on the wing with a combination of mid-range jumpers and three-pointers. Laura Kurz, a freshman, has a sweet stroke form behind the arc, as does Jessica Foley, who nailed the three at the buzzer to complete Duke's improbable comeback at UConn last season. Caitlin Howe, healthy for the first time in her Duke career, will add another offensive spark if her knee remains healthy.

TRANSITION Led by Harding, the Blue Devils are a quick team. Currie is a fast forward who can run the floor with Harding and take a bounce pass to the basket. The Blue Devils, however, lack the dynamism that Alana Beard and kiss Tillis added on the break. Harding is as good an on-theball defender as any in college basketball and can thwart opponents' transition attempts, but Duke may not have enough speedy players to get back against a run-and-gun offense.

“I think I am really ready to step up into that role and carry the team,” said Currie, who averaged 12.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game as a sophomore. “We are a different team. We have new players and people coming into their roles. So it’s all about coming together and finding that connection, finding that niche that we have. That’s definitely what we are looking for.” Currie, who can post up, shoot threes and slash to the basket, will factor greatly into both Duke’s expanded motion offense and its post game. On the block, Currie is joined by Williams, freshman Chante Black and sophomore Alison Bales, who was hampered last season by a knee injury. Senior forward Wynter Whidey returns to the team after taking a personal leave in the middle of last season, providing added depth inside. Black, a 6-foot-5 center, has the potential to be Duke’s best post player ever, Goestenkors said. “She’s very athletic,” Williams said. “She can post. She can rebound. She has long arms and is going to be amazing.” To balance this interior play, the team is also concentrating on three-point shooting, a strength of Duke teams in the past. At any given moment, the Blue Devils could have three or four potent long-range shooters on the court, including the 6-foot-l Kurz, whom Goestenkors recruited primarily for her shooting. Duke will have to put together its oncourt structure quickly, as it faces early tough matchups against Penn State and Tennessee. From the absence of Beard to the lower ranking to the new inside-outside balance, Duke will have many adjustments to make to its play and attitude in a season of transition. “We’ve had such a target on our back, but we won’t have the No. 1 rankings going into the season this year, and it is kind of nice,” Goestenkors said. “We know that people aren’t expecting as much, so this team has the attitude that they want to prove more people wrong. I remember how that used to feel; it’s been a while.”

FRONTCOURT Power forward Shelden Williams anchors a thin Blue Devil frontcourt for a second consecutive year. The junior has further developed his scoring moves around the hoop to complement his outstanding shot-blocking and rebounding abilities. The X-factor in the paint will be junior Shavlik Randolph. After underachieving two consecutive years, the slick Randolph finally has both the size and health to show why he was considered the nation's top high school junior four years ago.

BACKCOURT The Blue Devils' strength again lies in its guards. Junior J.J. Redick is still the nation's best shooter, and after losing 20 pounds he could be come a dangerous slashing threat as well. He could take pointers from senior Daniel Ewing, who is nearly unstoppable getting to the basket. The fate of the Blue Devils, however, may rest on the ability of junior Sean Dockery to assume Duhon's role as a point guard. An outstanding defender, Dockery must improve his offensive game management skills.

TRANSITION GAME

DON'T LOOK BACK Redick, Ewing rally tested but thin Duke by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Just six months ago, Duke was on top of the world. Fresh off another Final Four appearance, head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 10th overall, the Blue Devils look to return four starters. Krzyzewski had garnered another trademark Blue Devil recruiting class, replete with two McDonald’s AllAmericans, including point guard Shaun Livingston, the nation’s consensus No. 2 player. Despite the loss of Chris Duhon’s senior leadership, the Blue Devils appeared to be one of the nation’s deepest teams yet again. That was before freshman phenom Luol Deng bolted for NBA riches, leaving Duke with just two true big men for the 2004-2005 season. Just weeks later, Livingston followed suit, leaving Duke with one true point guard and just eight scholarship players. In the span of two months, the Blue Devils went from a team with towering expectations to a team in the unfamiliar position of being overlooked. “It’s kind of hard to understand when you see guys like myself, JJ. Redick, Shelden Williams, those two All-American guys back from last season’s team that helped us get to the Final Four,” senior

Daniel Ewing said. So far, Duke has responded to its new role as an underdog. The Blue Devils implemented a new basketball conditioning program in preparation for the season, and some Blue Devils are in the best shape of their lives. Redick, for example, has dropped 20 pounds since last season. The Blue Devils are loaded at shooting guard—both Ewing and Redick are strong offensively and look to provide the bulk of the Blue Devils’ scoring this season. In particular, the smooth-shooting Redick looked especially sharp during the Blue-White Scrimmage, a tribute to his improved conditioning. “I just think JJ. never got tired,” Krzyzewski said after the scrimmage. “You get tired guarding him and that’s good. He’s in great, great shape.” Freshman DeMarcus Nelson, a top-30 recruit last season, broke the California state high school scoring record after averaging over 30 points per game last season. His muscular 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame gives the Blue Devils another dangerous slasher from the backcourt. The only true point guard on the roster, however, is junior Sean Dockery. The Chicago native, who has 90 steals in 70 career games, has long been prized for his intense on-the-ball defense. With just two

career starts, he will be hard-pressed to provide the game management and steady leadership that Duhon provided as a fouryear starter last season. Yet Krzyzewski is optimistic that Dockery can fill Duhon’s shoes despite his inexperience. “He’s a real important guy for us,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s a good player, I think he could have a little bit of a breakout year this year, but he needs to realize his importance.” Should Dockery falter, Nelson and Ewing will assume point guard duties. Krzyzewski plans to have two players on the court at any given time who can serve as the primary ballhandler. Ewing, who spent the off-season playing against NBA point guards in Houston, is preparing for a dual role this season as both a point guard and a shooting guard. “How I am going to use Daniel Ewing? Every way possible,” Krzyzewski said. “Will he bring the ball up? Yes. Will he shoot it? Yes. Will he guard the other ball handler? Yes. Will he guard off the ball? Yes. Will he rebound? Yes. Will he lead? Yes. If he didn’t earn his scholarship in his first three years, which I think he did, he’ll earn graduate credits this year.” The Blue Devils will need that kind of

WAKE FOREST

Hype aside, Deacs push for title Ryan Pertz THE CHRONICLE

2004-05 SCHEDULE

Wake Forest has never won a national championship. It hasn’t reached the Final Four since 1962. Even when Tim Duncan was an All-American for them in the late 1990’5, they never made it past the Sweet 16. The Demon Deacons have also never been ranked No. 1 in preseason polls—until this year. “We have to be aware that a lot of these same prognosticators are the same guys who picked us to be seventh in the league two years ago,” head coach Skip Prosser said. “We need to be aware as well that we don’t have a Tim Duncan-type guy—a seven-footer who can erase a lot ofmistakes.... Collectively we have to become better in all different phases.” Still by many regarded as the best team in the nation this year, the Demon Deacons have the talent, depth and experience to be a legitimate national title contender. With arguably the best backcourt in the nation and a formidable frontcourt to back it up, Wake has all the pieces it needs to puts its “nevers” in the past. The Demon Deacons’ top talent lies with its guard duo of super sophomore Chris Paul and junior Justin Gray. Paul, a preseason All-American and possibly the most celebrated player in all of college basketball, was last season’s ACC Freshman of the Year and led the Demon Deacons to a Sweet 16 appearance with 21 points and seven assists per game in the NCAA Tournament. The point guard’s quickness and court vision, combined with his strong leadership, which Prosser “trusts implicitly,” make him Wake Forest’s deadliest weapon. Although Gray may lie in the shadow of the hype surrounding Paul, it’s the other way around back home. “[Paul] is quite certain that he’s not the best player in his dorm room,” Prosser said of the roommates. Gray is Wake’s sharpshooter and was Wake Forest’s leading and most consistent—scorer last year, averaging 17 points per game on 41-percent shooting.

If last season was all about “Getting to Know You,” then this season’s theme might be “Shall We Dance?” North Carolina struggled to a mediocre 19-11 record while adapting to newly-hired head coach Roy Williams’ up-tempo style of play a year ago. The Tar Heels got off to a hot 10-2 start but tired down the stretch, finishing with a .500 ACC record and quietly exiting the NCAA Tournament after a second-round loss to Texas. This year, North Carolina is hoping for a much deeper postseason run. Senior Jackie Manuel put his team’s goal bluntly: ‘To win a national championship, nothing less,” Manuel said. “We have the pieces to reach that goal. We just have to come together and listen to Coach Williams.” The Tar Heels certainly bought into the offensive halfof Williams’ program, ranking fourth in the nation with 83.1 points per game. North Carolina’s mediocre defense undermined the team’s superb attack. Its opponents shot 44.4 percent from the floor, and the Tar Heels allowed 83.4 points in their 11 losses. “We’ve got to guard the basketball better,” Williams said. “We’ve got to buy into the fact that we can beat people by what we do on the defensive end of the floor and not just what we do on the offensive end of the floor.” CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO Center Sean May, who was criticized for fading Felton is one of three with Raymond juniors explosive scoring stretch, down the said his team is defensively working conditionfor North Carolina. ability hard the to their in preseason improve very ing and defensive husde. “Scoring is not the problem —it’s the defense,” May rebounder May (9.8 per game), and leading assist man said. “In pick-up games and whatever we’ve been doing, Raymond Felton (7.1 per game).

GEORGIA TECH

Core returns from Final Four run by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

At this time last year, Georgia Tech was flying under the radar, excluded from preseason hype. The Yellow Jackets, however, quickly entered the national mix with a 12-0 start that catapulted the team to No. 3 in the country. Picked to finish seventh in the conference, the team used its fast-paced, scrappy style to claw its way to the national tide game before losing to Connecticut. With four starters and six significant contributors returning to Atlanta for the 2004-2005 season, the Yellow Jackets have not be able to hide from the preseason buzz and are under heavy pressure to follow up last year’s outstanding run with another just like it. The balanced team can score both at the hoop and from the perimeter but lacks the go-to player typical of a top-five squad. Head coach Paul Hewitt did not let the team get too cocky after last season, prescribing a summer regimen of tough individual workouts. “I told all of them to concentrate on coming back here in the best shape they can be in, improve their skill level as much as they can improve it, and let me worry about team stuff,” Hewitt said. “My philosophy has always been if the players are getting better, the team will be fine.” The Yellow Jackets return a core of players that were dangerous even before summer improvement. All-ACC performers BJ. Elder and Jarrett Jack will form one of the most potent backcourts in the nation. Junior forward Anthony McHenry and 7-foot-l center Luke Schenscher will accompany Elder and Jack in the starting lineup. Also returning is All-Final Four guard Will Bynum, who made a layup with 1.5 second remaining in the national semifinals to send the Yellowjackets to the championship game. Bynum averaged 9.6 points per game a year ago and is joined by dynamic forward Isma’il Muhammad and forward-center Theodis Tarver. The real question for Tech will be who will step up beside this returning core and provide the necessary

THE CHRONICLE

It is not very often that a basketball team returns four starters and 11 letter-winnefs from an ACC Tournament title team. It is even less frequent for the tournament winner to beat the top three seeds to win the title. But when such a team is picked to finish anywhere from fourth to sixth in its own conference the next year, something truly crazy is going on. In a deep and talented ACC, the young and inexperienced Maryland squad that finished 20-12 in the ACC last season now is its wild card. “We are still young this year, but we can’t [play that way],” Maryland head coach Gary Williams said. “We were up and down last year and you can say that is because we were young, but it’s something I don’t like to see.” The Terps’ youth showed at the beginning of last season. The team lost eight of its first 12 games in conference play, but won four of its last five—four of the games over opponents ranked in the top 20—to secure an NCAA Tournament berth. With every player a year older, Maryland knows it cannot blame early struggles on inexperience. “That is one of our goals this year —to play better early and to be more consistent,” Williams said. One player expected to produce more consistendy is point guard John Gilchrist, who has been named to the John Wooden Award watch list and The Sporting News’ All-ACC first team. Last year, Gilchrist led Maryland in scoring (15.4 points per game) and assists (5.0 per game), but failed to produce in home losses to Georgia Tech, N.C. State and Duke, scoring 4, 8 and 10

points, respectively. The Virginia Beach, Va., product then exploded in the ACC Tournament. Gilchrist averaged 24

points per game, beat Wake Forest with a last-second free throw and tied Duke with a last-second threepoint play in a performance that ended him the

ACC Tournament MVP. “He’s one of the guys I’d like to see be more consistent,” Williams said. “There wasn’t a better player in the country that weekend that we won the ACC Tournament, and hopefully John can play at a very consistent good level. He’s got the talent to do that.” While Gilchrist patrols the backcourt, forward Travis Garrison will be expected to match the graduated Jamar Smith’s consistency and interior toughness. The 6-foot-8 Garrison is another Terrapin who saw a marked improvement in his performance during last year’s ACC Tournament, increasing his scoring from 7.8 to 13.0 points per game and his rebounding from 5.2 to 6.3 per game During Maryland’s off-season trip to Italy, where the Terps played five games against Italian professional teams, Garrison performed even better than he had during the tournament. The junior averaged 16.4 points and 11.0 rebounds per game and was named Maryland’s MVP of the trip. “Garrison played very well in Italy,” Williams said. “He’s worked very hard in the weight room to get stronger. He’s always been a good shooter and he’s added more of an inside game.” A deep and athletic supporting cast will aid Garrison and Gilchrist. Guards Chris McCray—The Sporting News’ preseason ACC Most Underrated Player —and D.J. Strawberry are shut-down perimeter defenders. 6-foot-8 junior Nik Caner-Medley is one of the more versatile players in the, ACC, and Mike Jones and Ekene Ibekwe add athleticism. The Terps have an impressive 10-man rotation, which will allow them to compete with the nation’s best. “Going into a year, if you can be in a situation where you can be one of the top 25 teams, then anything can happen,” Williams said of a league that is tops in college basketball. “It is the teams that work hard all year and stay healthy that are around at the end of the year.”

Hodge back to run one-man Pack by

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

2004 SCHEDULE

Julius Hodge decided to return for his senior season

instead of jumping to the pros because he wanted to win a national championship. But without a supporting cast, the reigning ACC Player of the Year’s chances at the dde appear to be relatively slim. The dynamic scorer led the Wolfpack with 18.2points per game and was second in rebounds with 6.4 per contest. This season, however, he has little proven talent around him as the team’s second and third leading scorers, Marcus Melvin and Scooter Sherrill, graduated from a team that finished second in the ACC in 2004. Opponents will hone in on Hodge, so the team’s success will depend heavily on the output of junior Ilian Evtimov, who was inconsistent last season. He only averaged 9.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, but showed flashes ofscoring prowess. In N.C. State’s second-round NCAA Tournament loss to Vanderbilt, Evtimov contributed a career-high 28 points. He had double-digit point totals in nine of the team’s final 13 games, averaging just fewer than 13 points per contest during that span. N.C. State head coach Herb Sendek will also rely on sophomore Engin Atsur, senior Levi Watkins and junior Tony Bethel to help make up for the loss of Melvin and Sherrill. Bethel, who transferred from Georgetown before last season, will start at point guard. A year ago, the Wolfpack struggled to find a true point guard, often relying on Atsur and Hodge to run the offense. “I’m really looking forward to having Tony on the floor with us,” Sendek said. “He gives us a guy who can put the ball on the floor and go off the dribble and create some scoring opportunities for his teammates. There’s always a place on a team for a guy who is a leader, who helps set the table, get guys organized and who can transport the ball under the influence ofpressure, without turning the ball over.” Bethel, who has been working to improve his jump

I do think we are.” N.C. State’s relatively easy out-of-conference schedule will give the Wolfpack time to find options other than Hodge on the offensive end. N.C. State hosts Purdue and Manhattan, but its only major non-conference test will come on the road against the Washington Huskies. In conference, the team will not have to visit Cameron Indoor Stadium, a product of ACC expansion that Hodge does not mind. At Duke a year ago, he had one of the worst games of his career—scoring Just seven points and committing seven turnovers before fouling out—in N.C. State’s 76-57 loss. “Going to Cameron hasn’t been a pretty sight for the Wolfpack,” Hodge said. N.C. State kicks off its season Nov. 17 in the Black Coaches Association Invitational Tournament in Raleigh. ‘We have a lot of experience under our belt and have a lot of guys who can play basketball,” Evtimov said.

Young FSU begins NCAA ascent by

Maxi Moehlmann

2004-05 SCHEDULE

THE CHRONICLE

Florida State may boast the No. 1 recruiting class in the ACC for the second consecutive year. The Seminoles may have had the No. 2 scoring defense in the conference last season. And FSU may have finished last year with a home record of lf>3, including wins over powerhouses Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and North Carolina. Yet Florida State is still picked seventh in the ACC in preseason rankings —exactly where it finished last year. “When you are not the most talented team on the floor, when you are not the favorite, you have to develop a focus that will work for you,” head coach Leonard Hamilton said. “If you have a mental breakdown against a team that is not in the top 25, they’re going to come up and bite you.” Aided by his first two recruiting classes, Hamilton has elevated an average program that may be poised to break into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998. And with the graduation of leader and first-team All-ACC guard Tim Pickett, Hamilton will rely heavily on his underclassmen, who are among the most talented in the nation. The young Seminoles, who struggled on the road last season, are characterized by stingy defense and a highly athletic core. The sophomore class includes the inside-outside punch of shooting guard Von Wafer and big man Alexander Johnson. Wafer averaged 7.9 points per game last season, making 43 three-pointers, while the 6-foot-10, 250 pound Johnson chipped in 9.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. Hamilton is looking for his team to be much more balanced this year. The loss of Pickett should not only open up the floor for the younger Seminoles, but also redefine the face ofFSU. “Since the end of last season, [Wafer] has made tremendous improvements in his overall understand-

Junior Diego Romero, who redshirted his sophomore season because of eligibility problems that were finally cleared this summer, will complement Johnson under the hoop.

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

The Virginia Cavaliers finished seventh in the ACC last season and will be hard-pressed to repeat that performance in a conference as competitive as this year’s ACC. Seventh-year head coach Pete Gillen will lead a veteran team through the stacked conference in hopes of capturing an NCAA bid. With a 6-10 ACC record last season, the Cavaliers failed to make the NCAA Tournament and bowed out in the second round of the NIT with a loss to Villanova. UVa’s 2004-2005 season—and possibly Gillen’s job—will be in the hands of senior co-captains Elton Brown, Devin Smith and Jason Clark. Brown is the most experienced player on the team and led UVa in scoring and rebounding last season. Conditioning could be a problem for Brown; the 6-foot-9 forward/center has been battling weight problems throughout his career and will have a difficult time keeping up with the fast-paced ACC teams in the upcoming season. “He does a good job attacking the basket,” Gillen said. “He was our leading scorer last year and I’m hoping he’ll be a big scorer for us in the upcoming season.” Hampered by a herniated disk last year, Smith still put together a solid season and had much-needed surgery in the off-season. If he is fully healed, Smith may be Virginia’s top player and the team’s best hope for beating its formidable ACC opponents. Clark started almost every game last season but did not end up seeing a great deal of playing time because of his scoring struggles. But Clark led the team in blocked shots and.placed second in rebounding and should be Virginia’s best defensive player in the upcoming season. Also returning from last year’s squad will be sophomore guards J.R. Reynolds, TJ. Bannister and Gary Forbes. Each member of the threesome averaged about

for 4

20 minutes per game last season, and Reynolds finished with almost 10 points per game. “J.R. had a tremendous freshman year,” Gillen said. “He made the ACC-All American Freshman Team with some great players, and he has an opportunity to build on that success and be a very good player in this league.” The only starter to graduate was sharpshooter Todd Billet, but with incoming freshman guard Sean Singletary lighting up the court in preseason play, UVa could be poised for improvement. “Sean is a very talented point guard,” Gillen said. “He’s extremely quick and can hurt an opponent with his penetration to the basket as well as with his perimeter shooting.” With a total of 11 games against Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, Maryland, Florida State, Georgia Tech and N.C. State, the Cavs may find themselves with doubledigit conference losses and have a difficult time earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament despite potential improvement. Gillen has not led UVa to the Big Dance since 2001, and with a strong recruiting class and almost every key player returning, another failed attempt could cost the coach his job. Since that 2001 season, the Cavaliers have yet to post a winning record in the ACC and have only finished above .500 because of relatively easy out-of-conference schedules. Looking ahead to the 2004-2005 slate, UVa has to face a highly regarded Arizona squad, as well as Auburn and Providence on the road. ‘We are playing a very different schedule, and hopefully that will get us ready to play in the best basketball conference in the country,” Gillen said. “We are excited about playing these quality teams. Our players like playing against the best. Hopefully this schedule will help us meet the goal of returning to the NCAA Tournament.”

Tigers try to climb ACC ladder Dan Kapnick THE CHRONICLE

exG-rgsTuTS I I I

Newcomers Miami and Virginia Tech could lift Clemson from the basement of the ACC. But in a league stacked with top-25 teams, second-year head coach Oliver Purnell will have a tough time getting the Tigers out of the league’s lower tier. “Upset Special” was the name of the game for Clemson last season. The Tigers showed glimpses of their vast potential with home victories over ranked teams North Carolina and N.C. State. These wins, however, were only considered upsets because of the team’s dismal 3-13 record in the ACC and winless season away from Littlejohn Coliseum. Purnell knows a little something about upsets. This summer in Athens, Purnell served as an assistant under Larry Brown coaching the U.S. Olympic Team, which suffered losses to Puerto Rico, Argentina and Lithuania. Although he was on the other side of the scorers’ table, Puerto Rico’s inspired play against the more talentedAmericans may have given him hope for the Tigers’ games against the likes of Wake Forest, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Duke. “Every time I go to one of these experiences I learn and I look at players that have come from other places. I look at how they train, act, react,” Purnell said of the Olympics. “I incorporate those things into my coaching

philosophy.”

As is characterisdc of any rebuilding program, Purnell relies more heavily on underclassmen than would be ideal. A five-man recruiting class will add depth and improve the Tigers’ toughness and perimeter shooting. North Carolina native Troy Mathis will likely make the most immediate impact, providing support for a shaky Clemson backcourt that was turnover-prone a year ago. Starting point guard Vernon Hamilton tallied 91 assists and 87 turnovers as a freshman in 2004. The coaching staff is also looking for Mathis, along with fellow rookies Cliff Hammonds and Cheyenne

V Mi,.

Moore, to bolster the Tigers’ perimeter shooting, which will take a hit from the loss of top three-point shooter Chey Christie. “The incoming freshmen will make us more athletic and versatile than last year,” Purnell said. “We definitely gain in athleticism in that we should be able to get up and down the floor. We also want to extend the floor offensively and defensively and, in general, become more of a pressing team.” SEE CLEMSON ON PAGE 34

VIRGINIA TECH

Hokies forced to play small; defense could suffer in ACC by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

Virginia Tech will enter the ACC after a surprisingly solid final season in the Big East. The Hokies went 15-14 last year and advanced to the conference tournament quarterfinals. This year’s team will feature a number of talented guards and athletic forwards but will have a glaring lack of size. “We are going to be so thin up front, we’re going to have to be more wide open,” second-year head coach Seth Greenberg said. “We have to create a more up-tempo game in order to take the big people out of the game.” Virginia Tech will also have to replace their leading scorer, Bryant Matthews, who graduated as the 11th leading scorer in the nation last year with 22.1 points per game. The Hokies’ active style will be aided by their increased depth and numerous ballhandlers. The additional depth comes from four incoming freshmen and players who return after redshirting. Of those players, senior Carlos Dixon will have the most immediate impact. Dixon, who sat out last year with a broken left foot, scored 13.8 points per game during his junior year and will help compensate for the loss of Matthews. Freshman point guard Marquie Cooke, one of Virgnia Tech’s all-time highest rated recruits, will also have a strong presence and could start immediately. He will help bolster a backcourt that will be tested by the talented guards of the ACC. “I can’t remember a league that had this many good backcourts, both defensively and offensively,” Greenberg said. The Hokies may also have trouble adjusting to the intensity of the ACC schedule, in part because of

their youth. Dixon is the only senior, and swingman Markus Sailes is the only junior who was a consistent starter last year. Virginia Tech will be powered by a strong sophomore class that includes guards Jamon Gordon and Zabian Dowdell and big man Coleman Collins. Gordon averaged 9.8 points per game and led the Big East in steals last year, despite missing time because of a torn meniscus. Dowdell also had a strong freshman season, averaging 10.8 points and 3.2 assists per game, and Collins came on strong at the end of last year, scoring 21 and 20 in consecutive games against Big East rivals. Virginia Tech will have trouble with ACC post players, despite Greenberg’s attempts to counteract the Hokies’ lack of size with three-guard lineups and pressure defense. The only player taller than 6-foot-8 is freshman Robert Krabbendam, who may have trouble until he adds weight to his 6-foot-11, 210 pound frame. The Hokies may have to play versatile athletes such as Dixon and freshman Deron Washington inside, where they will be undersized against the ACC’s premier big men. Virginia Tech’s non-conference schedule should supply the team with opportunities to build up experience and victories before the brutal ACC season but does feature a potent challenge in a preseason game against No. 14 Mississippi State. The Hokies will be welcomed to the ACC in their first conference game against No. 3 North Carolina Dec. 19. Virginia Tech has one of the relatively easier ACC schedules, playing No. 2 Wake Forest, No. 4 GeorgiaTech and North Carolina just once. Still, look for the Hokies to struggle in their first year in the nation’s best conference.

Coming off of its second straight losing season and one of its most tumultuous off-seasons in recent memory, Miami, under new head coach Frank Haith, is hoping the team’s first season in the ACC will mark a new beginning for a program that has met nothing but trouble of late. “All I can do is try to prepare our guys to compete against the best—the best players, the best coaches,” Haith said. “All this preparation is just to put in what we do and teach it, and then hopefully we’ll be able to

After starting off last season 13-5 with a 3-1 record in the Big East, the Hurricanes collapsed. Miami finished the season in a tailspin, losing 11 of its last 12 games.

Championships. In late spring, Miami Athletic Director Paul Dee began a not-so-secret drive to raise the almost $2.5 million it would take to buy out the contract ofhead coach

Perry Clark. Less than three weeks later, Dee fired Clark and replaced him with Texas assistant coach Frank Haith, the rivals.com 2004 Recruiter of the Year. The beginning of the Haith era in Coral Gables was far from smooth. Starting point guard Armondo Surratt and Leonard Harden and Karron Clarke all transferred in response to the coaching change. Additionally, top recruit CJ. Giles asked to be released from his scholarship. Of the four, the loss of Giles will likely be the biggest blow to the school—he was among the most highly recruited centers in the country. Furthermore, because Haith was hired in April, there was very little time for the first-year head coach to adequately fill the voids in his roster. Miami is now forced to enter the season with only two returning starters and a gaping hole in the frontcourt. The team lost its leading scorer over the last two

LANDLORD from page 5 plethora of skilled centers in the conference, and each of the three ACC teams ranked ahead of preseason-No. 12 Duke has a talented giant. Junior Sean May of No. 3 North Carolina has a highly-touted offensive game. Eric Williams of No. 2 Wake Forest can match the Landlord with his size on both ends of the floor. Maybe the least expected of them all, No. 4 Georgia Tech’s gangly Luke Schenscher has proven his ability to exploit the mismatch against Duke’s center. “I’d say the most-improved big man in the ACC would be Luke Schenscher,” Williams said. “There’s a lot of good big men in the ACC, so night in, night out I’ve got to come ready to play.” The anticipation and tension in the ACC is at an all-time high, as the conference includes four teams in the top 12 with Maryland and N.C. State not far behind. The Landlord needs to avoid letting the positive hype into his head, but even more worrisome are the occasional death threats he received on AOL Instant

Messenger.

versatility to compensate for their questionable depth in what is shaping up to be the nation’s most competitive conference. Although Duke returns three starters, only one original scholarship player off the bench, junior Lee Melchionni, has

collegiate game experience. Duke’s weak

bench will be its ability to give Williams and junior Shavlik Randolph a break. Former walk-on Patrick Johnson is the only Duke reserve taller than 6-foot-8. In order to preserve Williams and Randolph’s stamina, Krzyzewski indicated that the Blue Devils may not use as much pressure defense as they have in years past. ‘We can’t full court press and use their energy up doing that type of stuff,” Krzyzewski said. ‘We have to look at our system and see how it corresponds to our talent and the number of people we have.” Should Randolph or Williams fall to injury or foul trouble, Duke will look to 6-

foot-6 freshman David McClure and to 6foot-4 senior Reggie Love. Although undersized, Love and McClure have earned reputations as top rebounders and defenders. In addition, the 6-foot-7 Melchionni added 10 to 12 pounds of muscle this off-season to help with Duke’s interior depth. Despite these shortcomings, the Blue Devils remain one of the most talented teams in the country. And regardless of Duke’s preseason rank, the Blue Devils are expected to remain one of the nation’s premier teams as long as Krzyzewski roams their sidelines.

REDICK from page 4 who recruited Redick from Roanoke, Va., but his relationship with head coach Mike Krzyzewski has greatly improved since the end of last season. “[Collins] is kind of like my older brother,” Redick said. “He gets on me, and he makes sure that I stay on top of things, but he’s also a great friend and a great guy. With Cqach K, I think over the summer we got closer, and 1 think our relationship is only getting stronger.” As a result, the players and coaches selected Redick as a captain, along with Ewing, for the upcoming season —a move that some might have considered shocking in March. v “It’s something that actually meant a lot to me because I felt like I earned my coaches’ and my teammates’ respect over the summer,” Redick said. “I take it seriously and I feel like it’s a big responsibility.” The outgoing and vocal junior possesses many of the attributes necessary to be an effective captain, Krzyzewski said. “He doesn’t get tired in practice or he doesn’t show it—that’s a great example,” Krzyzewski said. “You’re running sprints and you try to win every sprint. You’re running the mile, and you try to win the mile. You’re the bunny that everyone’s chasing. The rabbit on the race track.... He’s emerging as an outstanding leader.” As previous seasons have worn on, Redick, a career 15.5 point per game scorer, has shown signs of fatigue that have affected his production. He said his lack of conditioning last year first caught up to him against Florida State in late February, when he went l-for-9 from the field and

In the remaining 10 games, Redick scored more than 20 points just twice and failed to break double digits on two occasions. “In his first two years, both of those seasons in the last month he got a little bit worn down physically,” Collins said. “Every game we play he’s grabbed and held. That takes its toll physically.” In an effort to prevent a similar late-season collapse, Redick worked diligendy with speed and conditioning coach Jeff Howser and assistant strength and conditioning coach William Stephens. He has lost more than 20 pounds since May and decreased

his body fat from more than 11 percent to less than 5 percent. “In high school you can be in really good shape—for high school—and then off-season get out of shape, and then crash and get in shape again,” Krzyzewski said. “When you’re at this level of playing you can never get out of shape. What he’s done, he’s not only not gotten out of shape, but he’s increased his level of physical conditioning.” Redick expects to have an even better season than a year ago, when he was selected as a third-team All-American. The weight he lost will likely make him

quicker, and he said he believes his summer workouts have made him a much better on-the-ball defender. In addition, he concentrated on ball handling and shooting off the dribble, two relative weaknesses in his game from previous seasons. Redick’s emergence as a more dedicated leader entering his junior season has not come as a surprise, Krzyzewski said. “Most juniors in our program are in better shape, not just this year, but Johnny Dawkins, Grant Hill, Christian Laettner,” Krzyzewski said. ‘You mature. It takes you a while to figure it out.”

an undefeated 2000-2001 season. His career at Duke has also been characterized by poise under pressure, especially in the postseason. His freshman year, Ewing helped the team advance by scoring 18 points in the second-round game of the NCAA Tournament against Notre Dame, including four free throws in the final two minutes. He won ACC Tournament MVP in his sophomore season and averaged well above his season marks in the postseason. In his last season at Duke, Ewing will try to achieve his personal and team goals with the added pressure of being a team leader. He said he would like to be named to the first team All-ACC and lead the Blue Devils back to the Final Four, but he will have to continue developing to achieve these goals. “I’ll be growing a lot throughout the season, but I think I’ve done a lot to get me here so far,” Ewing said. “I’ve come a long way, and I think I’m headed in a good direction.”

life. He and Nelson are roommates and have formed a strong friendship. “It’s definitely been a pretty big transition, but it’s just part of growing up,” McClure said. “Off the court you have a lot more responsibilities as well, and time management is a big thing. I think it’s going pretty well so far.” McClure said he is enjoying his time in Durham, and it is not only because of basketball. “It’s great to be on the basketball team, but you’re only in college once,” he said. “It’s great to just meet people and have people see you for you.” McClure comes to Duke from Trinity Catholic High School in Connecticut, where he was a four-year letter winner. Last year he led the team to a 26-1 record and a state championship on the way to winning the Gatorade state Player of the Year award. Past accolades and future expectations aside, McClure is excited to get the season and his collegiate career started. ‘The future is hard to predict,” he said. “The only thing that really matters is what coach wants us to do, and our goals will change with each year.”

too, so it’s good for Duke.” In the long run, though, Love wants to make a liv-

ing in the NFL. But in Packers camp this year Love was one of nine receivers vying for a contract. The team kept four for their main roster and one for the practice squad, leaving Love and three others as the odd men out. “Hopefully it will work out eventually,” said Love, who chose to return to Duke over playing football in Europe or in the Arena Football League. “At that time I was not a good fit for them. Hopefully next time I’ll get in better shape and make more plays in camp and I’ll be able to make a team.” For now, Love can play for a team he originally made five years ago. As the only player on the roster to have won a national championship, he bridges two generations ofDuke basketball, however unconventionally, to give a team with only one returning scholarship senior some unconditional love.

DeMarcus Nelson injured his hand during the Blue-White Scrimmage but has recovered quickly from surgery.

So it’s like pick your poison, that’s what we’re training for.” What makes the freshman remarkable, however, is not his physical ability, but rather his basketball acumen and team-oriented approach. Only one week into practice, Nelson is in tune with his team’s dynamics. He is quick to point out what he must do better to fit in with the team’s personality and is perceptive when talking about on-the-court strategy. “Knowing player personnel is something that, being a good athlete or a good player, you have to do,” Nelson said. ‘Just something small like that makes a big difference and makes us a better basketball team.” The precocious freshman’s athletic versatility and work ethic has already made him beloved by his teammates.

“DeMarcus is an incredible athlete,” co-captain Redick said. “He’s just one of those freaks that you hear about that can run forever, he’s got no body fat, he lifts as much as the big guys in the weight room. He’s just an incredible athlete. And on the basketball court he’s also a really good player.”

The Tar Heels will also benefit from added depth this season. They now have a surplus of point guards after the addition of freshman Quentin Thomas and Miller. transfer Wes sophomore Williams’ prize recruit, Marvin Williams, will strengthen a frontcourt that was plagued by injuries last season. “I expect him to try his rear end off,” Roy Williams said of his freshman forward. “He’s a very gifted youngster. He’s the kind of guy that can make me a better basketball coach.” This year the Tar Heels have experience on their side. With five upperclassmen the Tar Heels expect to show the rest of the conference how they’ve learned from their mistakes. “I think it will be totally different from last year where we had a couple bumps in the road,” May said. “I think it will be a smooth process just because we know what to expect from him.... We were pretty immature the last couple of years and that’s part of the reason why we haven’t been as successful”

they will have to rely on Williams and her strength in the post and on the glass, Goestenkors said. Last season the center averaged 10 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Goestenkors is expecting Williams to lead a powerful front line that will include freshman Chante Black and a healthy sophomore Allison Bales. Williams has committed to improving herself this off-season and realizes that with Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis gone, she will have to take on more of a leading role. She credits her new husband for helping her grow as a person in preparation for the season. She met the 24 year old Air Force traffic controller through a mutual friend while at Duke. ‘Just having another person to talk to [and] learn from has helped me so much with my teammates,” Williams said. The pair held their wedding ceremony in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, and many teammates

Now that all of the basketball-related questions are answered with a fair amount of conviction, only one thing remains in doubt.

The coaching staff has put a strong emphasis on defense during preseason workouts as the Tigers will try to improve on last season. Purnell has been in this spot before, having put together successful programs at Radford, Old Dominion and Dayton. “Overall, this year’s schedule looks to be as tough as last year,” Purnell said. “Our young ball club is certainly looking forward to the challenge.”

who will press for playing time early in the season. The Yellow Jackets will not have much time to let the team gel, as they are expected to come out strong and prove that last season was not a fluke. Hewitt wants to play down the pressure as much as possible. “I still believe that there are only 20 to 25 teams that could make it as far as we made it last year,” he said. “Just because we made it there doesn’t mean we were the best of the bunch. We had some breaks go for us.” Georgia Tech knows that last season’s results do not count for this year and that any success last year will be viewed as suspect unless the team can replicate a similar outcome in 2004-05. ‘That’s last year,” Hewitt said. “They know that this is a totally different arena we are about to enter now.”

the off-season and will look to return to be the all-around impact player he was in his sophomore year. “A lot of what we do this year is going to be about those three guys,” Prosser said of Levy, Danelius and Downey. ‘They’re the axis upon which this team will revolve. I think that they have done some wonderful things in terms of basketball in their three years here. They’re going to be determined to go out on a very high, positive note.”

ACC from page 16 any team in the league, but even without two starters from theirFinal Four squad they will have a veteran rotation that includes five juniors and two seniors. “I don’t know if they are saying that Duke is going to be down, I just think they’re saying that there are people that they are picking ahead of us,” Blue Devil head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I don’t think anyone is saying we’re going to have a bad year. They may be saying that other people look like they’re going to have better years.... We’ll have a good team. We have good players, we just don’t have the depth we’ve had in the past.” The ACC sent six teams to the NCAA Tournament a year ago, tying a record, but as many as seven or eight could qualify in 2005. “Before the year is out you could have as many as eight teams make an appearance in the top 25,” said Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt, who guided his team to the national tide game in 2004 before losing to Connecticut. ‘What can happen in this league is you’re going to play a good basketball game one night, even at home, and lose to a very good team. You need to keep that in perspective.” The ACC has always been known for its point guards, but this year’s class is as deep as any. Preseason ACC Player of the Year Paul headlines the group,and last season’s ACC Tournament MVP John Gilchrist, Raymond Felton and JarrettJack will all provide experienced leadership as teams attempt to navigate the treacherous conference schedule. “I don’t remember, and I might be wrong because I haven’t seen every year, but a year with as many good point guards,” Maryland head coach Gary Williams said. ‘There’s always been really good point guard play in this league, but there are four or five guys in this league that aren’t just solid but are great point guards.” Even the teams out of the top 25 will challenge for victories, especially on their home courts, as they did a year ago. Virginia senior Elton Brown, whose team failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, pointed out that the Cavaliers beat Wake Forest, North Carolina and Georgia Tech last season. ‘We know we have to come with our ‘A’ game every time we tee the ball up,” said Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton, whose team just missed the NCAA Tournament in 2004. “You have no room for error. You have to be ready to play each and every night.”

As a freshman at Lon Morris Junior College, Romero was an All-American before transferring to FSU. At 6foot-10, he will bring well-needed size to the Seminoles’ ffontcourt. The addition of Swann and Rich, both immediate impact players who rank among the top 15 freshmen at their positions, will continue to make the backcourt the strength of the FSU team. “Isaiah Swann is a youngster who has developed into an outstanding point guard,” Hamilton said. “He has very good potential, he works very hard and he has a very unselfish way about him. We are looking for him to provide a major contribution.”

MIAMI from page 30 than the 15 points per game he put on the board last season. Joining Hite will be guards Guillermo Diaz and Eric Wilkins. Diaz, the team’s leading three-point shooter last season, will primarily play the point, and Wilkins will act as a second shooting guard. “I’ve been very impressed with [Diaz and Hite] those two kids are very good players,” Haith said. “They’ve got to be more complete in terms of being good offensive and defensive players, and... be more consistent in their play. But they’re very talented and I’ve been very impressed by both those kids.” A wild card for Miami is 6-foot-l 1 sophomore transfer Glenn Batemon. After averaging just over 10 points per game for Fordham two years ago, Batemon is coming off surgery on both knees and is listed at 335 pounds but is reported to be close to 400. If he can return to form, he may give the Hurricanes the big man they need under the basket. “We just got to try to get our guys in the mindset to improve each day,” Haith said. “We can’t retard our development. We’re going to have to play, and go out and play hard to give ourselves a chance.” —
