Dzau aims to align DUHS

Bus drivers criticize

management BY

IZA WOJCIECHOWSKA THE CHRONICLE

As bus doors open at the end of a run, students tumble onto the stop amid a chorus of “thank you’s” directed at the bus driver—but several bus drivers said this is the only gratuity they are receiving.

A number ofbus drivers have expressed frustration about a perceived dearth of sick leave and a lack of communication between the operators and the managers in Parking and Transportation Services.

“If you come to these people and you’ve got problems, they kind of push them under the rug,” bus driver Emma Garrett said. “The morale is just bad.”

Other drivers had similar complaints, highlighting the management’s failure to address issues about ill employees. Drivers said they are still required to come to work even when they are sick.

“We can’t do our job if we’re out here sick, if we can’t get the day off,” Garrett said. “I think my life is more important than my job.”

Cathy Reeve, director of Parking and Transportation Services, said that the bus drivers’ claims are unsubstantiated. Before being hired, bus drivers sign an agreement that outlines the procedures and protocols of the job. Among other things, the agreement lays out rules regarding sick leave.

“Obviously if someone is sick, we don’t want them coming to work,” Reeve SEE DRIVERS ON PAGE 8

Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of Duke University Health System, spoke about the “first 100 days” since he took over the position July 1 at the Academic Council meeting Thursday. In his presentation, he emphasized that values are at the heart of his vision of Duke Medicine.

Although Dzau is new to the University, he rooted his discussion of Duke Medicine—which he defined as “the whole that contains all the pieces,”—in history. Creating a network of hospitals, addressing health disparities and recognizing the importance of innovation to health care were goals that James B. Duke himself emphasized, Dzau said.

‘The core value, as I see it, at Duke is still around these areas,” Dzau said. He summed up this philosophy as a continuum of five interrelated values: discovery, translation, adoption, inquiry and service.

Implementing these shared principles throughout DUHS was a major theme of the rest of Dzau’s remarks. He aims to make sure that standards of care and practices are unified among the disparate components of DUHS through a system alignment now getting under way.

“If we want to work as a system, we have to think like a system,” Dzau said. “System alignment is about safety.... It’s about patients being able to enter the system in any part of Duke Health Systems and get the same level of care.”

Other potential improvements in integration that Dzau mentioned include expanding interdisciplinary efforts and ensuring that Duke physicians translate

U.S. troops discover al-Zarqawi center Maggie Michael THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq U.S. troops sweeping through Fallujah Thursday found what appeared to be a command center used by followers ofJordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and a U.S. general expressed confidence that the battle for the city has “broken the back of the insurgency.”

A separate raid near the suspected command center uncovered a bomb-making workshop where an SUV registered in Texas was being converted into a car bomb and a classroom that held flight plans and instruc-

dons on shoodng down planes, according to a CNN crew embedded with the U.S. Army.

Gunbattles still flared in Fallujah as troops hunted holdout insurgents five days after the military said its forces had occupied the entire city 40 miles west of Baghdad. One U.S. Marine and one Iraqi soldier were killed, U.S. officials said.

At a base outside Fallujah, Lt. tlen. John Satder, commander of the Ist Marine Expeditionary Force, said the U.S. casualty toll in the Fallujah offensive stood at 51 dead and about 425 wounded. An estimated 1,200 insurgents have been killed, with about 1,025

enemy fighters detained, the military said.

Sattler told reporters he felt the U.S.led attack on the city had dealt a serious blow to the insurgency.

“We feel right now that we have, as I mentioned, broken the back of the insurgency. We’ve taken away this safe haven,” Sattler said, adding that insurgents had scattered elsewhere in Iraq where they lacked the resources available in their former stronghold.

Iraqi authorities, meanwhile, said they SEE IRAQ ON PAGE 10

Palestinians ask for help w ith elections by

Ravi Nessman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM

Palestinian officials ap-

pealed Thursday for international monitors to help with their presidential elections and urged that Israel’s unilateral plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip be folded into a stalled international peace plan.

The new Palestinian demands come as Secretary of State Colin Powell and foreign ministers from other sponsors of the “road map” peace plan head to the region, hoping to restart peace efforts amid a new spirit of hope following Yasser Arafat’s death.

Senior Palestinian officials have met repeatedly with political factions and militant groups since Arafat’s death to pave

the way for Jan. 9 presidential elections.

They also seek to restore order in the streets and are working—so far unsuccessfully —to broker a halt to attacks on Israel.

Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia pledged to maintain order ahead of the elections. “We should put an end to the chaos,” he said. “Everyone should be obliged to carry out law and order, and it is possible.”

Powell said he planned to talk with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon about helping the Palestinians ensure an orderly election. He also said he was happy with comments from Palestinian officials about the need to end violence.

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will travel to the West Bank next week, after Powell’s visit Monday, Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said. The Spanish and German foreign ministers are also expected in the coming weeks, Shaath said.

“All of these important foreign ministers are coming to meet the Palestinian leadership and to talk about an action plan for the coming period,” Shaath said.

Mark Regev, spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said many of the visiting officials will also meet Israeli leaders.

“Everyone is very excited. Now that he’s not there, there is renewed momentum,”

Early applications for engineering reach record high

The new CIEMAS InformationSpaces Studio, which includes motion sensors thattranslate a person's movement in the room into sound, draws visitors to explore the facilities.

Stephen Raymond THE CHRONICLE

The early applications have all been collated and the initial numbers are officially in.

The total number of early decision applicants rose to 1,498 this year, marking the second highest number on record.

Duke also received 220 early decision applications to the Pratt School of Engineering, an increase from last year’s 197, setting a new all-time record.

‘The increase in Pratt students is direcdy due to more aggressive recruitment on our part over the last two or three years,” said Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions. Guttentag said the increase is not, however, directly related to the long-term goal of expanding Pratt’s class size by 200 over the next four years.

“There is no tectonic shift in our admissions procedure, just the result of hard work,” he said.

“We’ve known about the increase in Pratt’s size for the past few years, and for that reason we’ve stepped up our recruitment efforts.”

This past October, the admissions office offered a specialized program just for prospective Pratt students who were from North Carolina, and representatives visiting high schools this year have been more actively pursuing these potential engineering students.

Last year Duke admitted 68 engineering students early decision, and Guttentag said admissions officials will be trying to ex-

pand that number by 40. Nevertheless, he stressed that this number was not a concrete mark. “We won’t sacrifice the quality of our class just to admit more Pratt students,” he said.

The admissions office’s unofficial focus this year is on students who have made a commitment to the arts and on those who have had experience with research outside of school. Duke is at the forefront of research and arts opportunities, Guttentag said, and it makes sense that members of the incoming freshman class need to be strong contributors to those areas. “We are always looking for students who can take advantage of what Duke can offer,” he noted.

This year the diversity of the early admissions application pool also rose. Thirty percent of the applicants were minorities, compared to 27 percent last year. The African-American and Latino ethnic groups were the strongest represented.

Although schools typically use the early decision and early action admissions process to compete for top prospective students, Guttentag affirmed the University’s early decision program is solely for students who have Duke as their “unquestioned first choice.”

Duke typically only takes 30 percent of its incoming class during early decision, and although the numbers of applicants were up this year, the total acceptance numbers will remain consistent SEE APPLICATIONS ON PAGE 8

Sophomore Deepak Bastakoty trekked Durham from Nepal—one of 85 countries represented by Duke undergraduates—ready to take advantage of everything Duke had to offer.

Bastakoty’s attitude is exactly what organizers of the University’s annual International Education Week hope to inspire among foreign students who choose to come to Duke.

During the past week, the University has joined hundreds of schools around the country to sponsor activities that highlight current international issues as part of a joint initiative—sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department ofEducation —to promote programs that prepare domestic students for a global environment and that attract students from abroad.

With his unique sense of humor and a hint of an Irish accent, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon led a discussion on the role of poetry in history and politics before a small group of students and professors from the Triangle area Thursday afternoon. The discussion took place in the Department of English, which sponsored the event.

Muldoon spoke about the importance of political discourse in daily life and how poetry absorbs politics. He claimed that politics “will inevitably be represented in eve 17 art form.”

The conversation continued into a discussion about art in American history and popular culture. When asked how the lack of history in America was affecting the culture, Muldoon refuted the question’s premise. “I really don’t think this country has a lack of history,” he said.

“American literary tradition is extraordinary and we can be very proud ofit.”

At several points during the hour-long conversation, Muldoon noted that art invents history in many ways. “I happen to believe that art must make something happen,” Muldoon said. “All art is about the dismantling of ideas.”

In response to a question, Muldoon said he never established the audience he was writing for. ‘The first person one tries to make sense with [as a writer] is oneself,” he said. “I write primarily for myself.

I hope others will read them.”

Many of Muldoon’s poems stem from his reflections on his childhood. Having grown up in a time when political uproars were common in Ireland, Muldoon voiced

Performance aims to boost Alzheimer’s awareness

BY ORCUN UNLU THE CHRONICLE

Today at noon the Health Arts Network at Duke and the Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center are sponsoring a special performance to raise awareness of the “human side” of Alzheimer’s disease—an illness that impairs thought and speech through a progressive form of presenile dementia. The performance will combine excerpts from the play Victoria and a discussion with expert Dr. Donald Schmechel.

The event is part of the November nationalAlzheimer’s disease month and will be held at the North Building in room 2002.

Visitors will see portions of the internationally acclaimed play by Brooklyn-born

Canadian actress Dulcinea Langfelder. She will portray Victoria, a patient who suffers from memory loss. Following the performance, she will talk about research she has conducted on Alzheimer’s disease.

Victoria is about confronting our deepest fears. We are all vulnerable at certain times in our lives; and Victoria is about celebrating this vulnerability by looking at it from a good perspective,” Langfelder said, noting the philosophical question that marks the central theme of her play: “Where do you find your personal victory when you lose your memories and your personal power?”

Langfelder’s portrayal will be followed

by Schmechel’s presentation ofhis latest research. As one of the leading experts on this issue, he will also answer questions the audi“

ence may have about Alzheimer’s disease.

‘The play tomorrow will show that the patients with Alzheimer’s have lives,” Schmechel said, noting that people do not really know what it is like to have an illness like Alzheimer’s disease. He added that the disease is “super common” and that “it will not go away in the future,” emphasizing the need to raise public awareness.

Langfelder, whose late father suffered from memory loss, said the play is not all tragic and that “tragicomic” would be a more fitting description. “I love dancing, singing and making people laugh—in a deep way,” Langfelder said. “Laughter is something that interests me.

Abdalla Adam, director for relief and development with Darfur Peace and Development, shared his experiences and reflections, emphasizing the background and reasons for the conflict.

“Historically there have been clashes between tribes,

mainly because of the lack of resources. But what we have today is bigger than that... The genocide now is directly because of the involvement of the government,” Adam said.

There have been 70,000 recorded deaths since the escalation of violence in February 2003, Adam noted. Slides continuously displayed behind the speakers noted other statistics, including the fact that 1.4 million Darfur residents have been displaced and 60 to 80 percent of children currently suffer from malnutrition.

Student-read accounts provided emotional descriptions of the horrors victims have been experiencing. “If our men go out, they die, if we go out, we are raped—that is our choice,” one account read. In another, a woman described asking her enemy if she could put her baby down while he raped her.

Campus Council criticizes alcohol policy response Sophia Peters THE CHRONICLE

by

Campus Council discussed Eddie Hull’s response to its October resolution addressing inconsistencies in alcohol policy enforcement at its meeting Thursday night.

Members expressed concern that Hull, executive director of housing services and dean ofresidence life, had sidestepped the important issues of the resolution and had failed to give credence to the motivations fueling the inquiry.

Council members took issue with several aspects of Hull’s response: that he maintained the need to document students who violate the alcohol policy and that he un-

derscored the importance of RLHS staff s

judgment in enforcement situations.

The real purpose of the resolution was codify a consistent enforcement of the alcohol policy and Hull avoided this issue in his response, said senior Anthony Vitarelli, Campus Council president. “[His response] tried to uphold the status quo, that there is no clear cut alcohol enforcement policy, and that really was the main meat of what we were trying to resolve,” said sophomore Damjan DeNoble, the council’s vice president.

Hull’s lack of attention to the “comment stage” of the enforcement process the step in which RLHS staff notifies a stuto

—

dent that they have violated the alcohol policy—caused a stir among council members. The council had recommended using the comment stage more often rather than immediately documenting violations to improve student-staff relations and resolve inconsistencies in enforcement, members said.

Council members also expressed concern that Hull failed to take into account the fact that the resolution was based on RLHS staff feedback and recommendations. Conversations with residence coordinators and assistant deans framed the council’s recommendations, Vitarelli said. “We had hoped that he would ad-

dress recommendations in the voice of his staff,” he added.

Another point of contention was Hull’s response to the council’s suggestion that paid party monitors distribute cups at large-scale events instead of the ATeam —a group of administrators who serve as preliminary security at largescale events. While Hull acknowledged that the issue was outside his jurisdiction, he suggested that Campus Council itself assume this role.

Campus Council agreed that the only way to hammer out the discrepancies beSEE COUNCIL ON PAGE 10

Israelis mistakenly kill 3 Egyptian police officers by

Israeli troops mistook three Egyptian

police officers for Palestinian militants and shot them dead Thursday along the Gaza Strip’s border with Egypt, increasing tensions between the neighbors.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to express his “deepest apologies” for the incident and promised a quick investigation.

But Egypt did not appear satisfied, issuing a rare statement lambasting Israel.

“Egypt condemns and strongly protests this regrettable incident,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a statement. “We demand that the Israeli authorities conduct an immediate, thorough and comprehensive investigation into the circumstances that led to this incident, and present an explanation.”

The shooting comes at a sensitive time for Israel and Egypt, two former enemies that signed a peace agreement in 1979 but have had a frigid relationship in recent years.

Expert says Clinton's presidential library opens 5 drugs pose risks by

James Jefferson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Diedtra Henderson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON At least five medications now sold to consumers pose such risks that their sale should be limited or stopped, said a government drug reviewer who raised safety questions earlier about the arthritis drug Vioxx.

In testimony Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, Food and Drug Administration reviewer David Graham cited Meridia, Crestor, Accutane, Bextra and Serevent. The nation is “virtually defenseless” against a repeat of the Vioxx debacle, he said.

Merck & Co. pulled Vioxx from the market Sept. 30 after a study indicated the popular painkiller doubled the risk of heart attacks and stroke when taken for longer than 18 months.

The committee chair Sen. Charles Grassley, suggested an independent board of drug safety may be needed to ensure the safety of medications after FDA approval.

An “awful lot of red flags” were raised before Vioxx was withdrawn, said Grassley, Rlowa., and the agency disdained, rather than listened to, its own reviewers.

Graham claimed that FDA has an inherent conflict ofinterest that triggers “denial, rejection and heat” when safety questions emerge about products it has approved.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Bill Clinton, America’s first baby boomer president, opened his library Thursday with a rock ‘n’ roll gala that hailed the $165 million glassand-steel museum as “a gift to the future by a man who always believed in the future.”

Despite a steady, bone-chilling rain, nearly 30,000 people joined a celebration that included tributes from President George W. Bush, his father and former President Jimmy Carter. Rock stars Bono and The Edge of the band U2 performed a three-song set before Clinton spoke to a crowd that included dignitaries and ordinary folk. Poetry and gospel singing added a down-home flavor.

“The story that began in a little house on Hervey Street in Hope, Ark., inspires people from every background all over America,” President Bush said of Clinton’s rise from small-town beginnings to the White House.

The William J. Clinton Presidential Center is a sleek, futuristic complex that contains more than 80 million items from the former president’s life, including photos, e-mails, excerpts from famous speeches and gifts from world leaders. The library celebrates eight years of peace and prosperity and dismisses his impeachment as a Republican vendetta.

The 27-acre complex is cantilevered out over the Arkansas River—an allusion to Clinton’s desire during his presidency to build a “bridge to the 21st century.”

Judith White, assistant vice president for campus services, said if an employee calls in sick, drivers are pulled from a backup list, and as a last resort, supervisors can drive the buses. “I don’t know of any circumstances in which a driver has had to come to work sick,” she said.

White also said she doesn’t know where the bus drivers’ allegations of poor communication are coming from.

The drivers raised issues about student behavior and event transportation as well. Several drivers agreed that students “forget” how to act on the buses by the middle of the semester and end up doing foolish and dangerous things, such as

back the number of full-time employees.

Reeve denied such actions.

Drivers also noted that transportation for special events was inadequate and poorly planned. ‘Transportation Services needs to allocate more service for an event like a football game, political rally or Parents’ Weekend,” bus driver Eric Newquist said.

The management said it provides the bus operators with opportunities to register grievances if they feel that certain issues are being handled incorrectly. The resolution of the complaint is a multi-step process beginning at the supervisor level and involving a talk between transportation officials and drivers.

Muldoon made several references to poets from both Irish and American cultures in sharing his ideas about trends of cultural changes seen in contemporary poetry.

“One of the most interesting things about Muldoon is this duality,” Eloise Gilster, Woman’s College ’66, said. “He is Irish and has spent time in the states. He knows both cultures and writes of them very well.”

Muldoon expressed a lot of pride in both cultures. “I love this country,” Muldoon said. “Everyone in this country, no matter what the hyphenation may be,

Despite the gravity of the topics discussed during the talk, Muldoon was able to keep the atmosphere cozy and light-hearted. “I think he’s a lot of fun,” said Peter Compitello, a student at North Carolina State University. “I’m glad he was able to lead the discussion here today.”

Muldoon concluded his visit to Duke Thursday night with a reading in the Rare Book Room of Perkins Library.

“It’s wonderful to have such an erudite and articulate poet who can speak of his work with such clarity and eloquence,” Associate Professor of English Michael Moses said.

Among other complaints, bus drivers criticized studentsfor theirrowdy and disrespectful behavior on buses.

VIGIL from page 5 Further accounts reflected on the role of ethnicity in the conflict. “He said I am ugly because my skin is so dark,” one victim had written, referencing the perpetrator’s common use of the terms “black” and “slave.”

Mohamed Adam Yahya, with the Massaleit Community in Exile, provided an emotionally-charged personal reflection, exclaiming his horror at the genocide.

“Sometimes we feel we are not human beings because if we were, we would be protected,” Yahya said. Instead, the international community “doesn’t take any action to help. We need serious action to be taken,” he said.

The intensity and “frustration” with which Yahya spoke displayed how important the situation is to him, sophomore Nathan Emery said. Freshman Stephanie Amoako agreed that “When you hear it in person, it really makes your heart hurt.”

In these reflections, Adam and Yahya noted their appreciation for the students who participated in the vigil. “I am really touched by you today, to be here today and to show your support,” Adam said. Yahya agreed that students’ “concern to do something to help Darfur is very appreciated.”

In order to help students better understand why the genocide is occurring rather

than simply realizing that it is happening,

Justice plans to have discussion panels and

professors educate students on the complexities of the situation.Adam noted that it is “very important to know why. It is complicated but not hard to understand.”

But support is not enough to Justice members and the speakers, who agree

this support must now be transformed into action. “I would like to see more activism. The awareness level has been very high,” Adam said.

At the vigil, this activism took the form of signing letters to students’ respective congressmen and making financial contributions. These donations will be distributed to the international non-profit organization CARE and the local organization Darfur Peace and Development. Justice officials say they expect to have raised approximately $7OO. Duke’s vigil was one of the many vigils that will take place over these next few days. “The idea was to increase visibility by organizing [the national vigils] around similar dates so that it looks more united,” said senior Daniel Kennedy, president of Justice. The National Student Vigil for Darfur includes participation by Harvard University, Georgetown University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Emory University.

we laugh is to protect ourselves from pain, and even when you lose your memory you don’t lose your sense of humor.”

This is not the first time HAND has hosted an artistic presentation of a health problem; for 26 years the program has been integrating arts and humanities into health issues for patients, staff, families and visitors.

“Patients are more than their illness,” said HAND Director Linda Belans. ‘They are complex people whose lives are reflected in the poetry, music and art that we offer them.”

Langfelder hopes those outside the medical community will also attend the performance. “Arts majors, social sciences majors—anyone interested... should come,” she said.

Although Alzheimer’s disease is a common disease that affects almost half of the American population older than 85 years of age, its public awareness as a major health problem did not emerge until after former President Ronald Reagan’s struggle with the disease. There remains no concrete cure for Alzheimer’s disease, although more research is currently being conducted on the disease than ever before. Duke has been one of the major catalysts of this interest with its Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.

Langfelder said she hopes the audience will see memory loss in a different light after her performance. “[Victoria] is a very popular piece,” Langfelder said. “But before you actually see it, it is hard to explain why this play with a woman in a wheelchair would be

fascinating.”

The entire version of the play Victoria will be held at North Carolina State University’s Center Stage, in Stewart Theater Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

However, insurgents struck back elsewhere in volatile Sunni Muslim areas.

Dzau recognized that his goals are ambitious. “These are not going to be done in one year,” he said, “but I have great hopes we’ll have moved forward.”

Dzau also expressed his hopes to foster an “honest debate” across die diverse groups that comprise DUHS staff and enhance teamwork. ‘There will be, of course, new appointments, restructuring,” he noted.

Other areas in which Dzau said the University could increase its success include activism in national debates over medical technologies and ethical dilemmas and involvement in global health solutions.

Although the School of Medicine and DUHS are strong, they still have great potential for improvement, Dzau said. He called himself “very proud” of the University’s standing in rankings published by U.S. News & World Report, but added, ‘There’s still a glass ceiling for Duke Med-

James Dobbins, associate professor of radiology, presented a proposal for a new graduate program in medical physics. The interdisciplinary program would span five departments and offer both doctoral and master’s of science degrees. He cited strong demandfrom employers for such graduates and the University’s faculty expertise among the reasons to implement the program.

“I believe that this is a good thing for the School of Medicine and good for Duke,” said Dr. Sanders Williams, dean of the School of Medicine.

Council members heard Provost Peter Lange and Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services, present the proposed revisions to the harassment policy. Many faculty members voiced concerns about the changes, and discussion will continue at the council’s next meeting Dec. 2.

their resolution and Hull’s response was to meet and discuss the enforcement issue face-to-face, hopefully at the council’s next meeting. Members said only in this forum would they be able to clearly communicate to Hull the resolution’s overarching goal—to implement consistent enforcement of the alcohol policy.

DeNoble acknowledged that the resolution may have failed in not providing a definite model which RLHS staff could utilize when enforcing the alcohol policy, such as a form recording the circumstances of the documentation.

Associate Dean of Student Life Joe Gonzalez defended Hull’s response.

“Eddie did read this resolution very thoroughly and took his response seriously,” he said.

Regev said of Arafat The Palestinians intend to ask for election monitors and will appeal for international pressure on Israel to pull out of Palestinian areas in the West Bank before the elections and to allow east Jerusalem residents to vote, Shaath said.

He also asked that the “road map” peace plan be revived and Sharon’s Gaza withdrawal plan be incorporated into it.

The road map, which calls for the creation of a Palestinian state next year, has been stalled almost since it was signed last year, with both sides refusing to carry out their commitments.

Saying there was no longer a Palestinian peace partner, Sharon developed a “unilateral disengagement” plan, under which Israel would evacuate Gaza and four West Bank settlements and continue

building a West Bank barrier to separate Palestinians from Israel.

Palestinians see the plan as an Israeli effort to strengthen its hold on parts of the West Bank that they want to include in a future state.

Sharon has said he intends to push forward but hinted he would coordinate the withdrawal if a new Palestinian leadership cracks down on terror.

Thursday he appeared to soften that demand, saying disarming militant groups was “a complicated process.”

As an alternative, Sharon proposed ending anti-Israel propaganda in the Palestinian media and changing the Palestinian education curriculum to eliminate the “demonization of Israel, the Israelis and the Jews.”

“The poisonous propaganda in the Palestinian media and in the education system are the r00t... for the growth of the terror and suicide attacks,” he said.

Inside the building, U.S. soldiers found documents, old computers, notebooks, photographs and copies of the Quran. Several bodies also were found.

There were also two letters inside the house, one from al-Zarqawi giving instructions to two ofhis lieutenants.

Another sought money and help from the terrorist leader.

Nearby, in another location in the industrial section of southeastern Fallujah, troops found a bomb-making workshop where a sport utility vehicle with a Texas registration sticker was being rigged as a car bomb. CNN’s video also showed a makeshift classroom for training militants that included flight plans and instructions on how to shoot down aircraft.

The SUV was sitting in a warehouse surrounded by several bags of sodium nitrate, which can be used to make explosives. The vehicle had no license plate, but some 15 license plates were inside. Several bodies were also found in that area.

INTERNATIONAL

CLINTON from page 7

International Affairs, organizations such as the International House, the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute and the Center for InternationalStudies have organized more than 40 events that culminate today.

Members of the Duke community have attended panels on terrorism, international medicine and environmental concerns. Students have also watched Russian, Japanese and Spanish films and listened to a.lecture by Ambassador David Litt, Duke’s diplomat-in-residence.

This week the University received the Sen. Paul Simon Award for Excellence in Campus Internationalization from NAFSA: Association of International Educators.

This is the first year the award has been given out, and Duke is one of three research universities and five colleges to win it.

University officials said Duke has taken extraordinary steps to create a more international focus on campus.

One of goals stated in the administration’s 1999,“Building on Excellence” strategic plan was extending the University’s global reach and influence.

“We are the most internationalized of all the research universities in a whole series of ways,” Merkx said.

Merkx said about 50 percent of undergraduates study abroad by their senior year. He added that there are more federally-funded resource centers devoted to foreign studies on campus than at any other private research university. Moreover, nearly 8 percent of the freshman class is international, compared to the Ivy League average of about 6 percent.

Officials said they are looking forward to expanding course offerings on topics around the world. They said they also hope to attract more international undergraduate students and to further integrate study abroad experiences into the curriculum.

“Our goal is to have students feel that their study abroad experience is a complement to their efforts to emerge from Duke as global citizens prepared to enter multinational and multicultural communities,” said Margaret Riley, director and assistant dean for Study Abroad.

Bastakoty had only positive things to say about his experiences as an international student at Duke, particularly as part of an intelligent student body.

“You can start a conversation with some fandom guy and in 20 minutes you will be walking away with a whole new perspective on something that you’d never thought about before,” he said. “You can’t define Duke students in just a couple of words.”

A steady rain pelted the crowd throughout the ceremony, and a soldier stood near the podium bearing an umbrella to protect each speaker from the elements.

A tent had been set up Wednesday to shield dignitaries from the rain, but it was taken down because offaith placed in an overly optimistic weather report. The presidents and first ladies held their own umbrellas and tipped dry their own rain-slicked chairs. By the end of the two-hour ceremony, Clinton’s usually poofy hair was matted down.

DRUGS

from page 7

In his view, the five most worrisome drugs that demand speedy action: Meridia, a weight-loss drug. He said the agency should consider whether its benefits outweigh the risks of higher blood pressure and stroke among people taking it.

“I don’t think Meridia passes that test,” Graham said.

Crestor, an anti-cholesterol drug. He said the government should evaluate the occurrence of renal failure and other serious side effects among people taking Crestor.

Two of three other statin competitors prevent heart attack and stroke and do not cause renal failure, he said.

Accutane, an acne drug linked to birth defects. Graham said the drug represents a 20-year “regulatory failure” by the FDA and sales should be restricted immediately.

Bextra, a painkiller. Graham said the drug poses the same heart attack and stroke risk as Vioxx. He recommended designing studies to look at the drug’s cardiovascular risks.

Serevent, an asthma treatment. He said the drug was shown, with 90 percent certainty in a long-term trial in England, to cause deaths due to asthma. “We’ve got case reports of people dying, clutching their Serevent inhaler,” Graham said. “But Serevent is still on the market.”

But an FDA colleague, when asked about Graham’s short list, said, “That is clearly Dr. Graham’s opinion.” Dr. Sandra Kweder, deputy director of the FDA’s Office of New Drugs, said there is no “magic formula” to determine which marketed drugs are most worrisome.

Drug makers defended the safety of their products.

Tim Lindberg, a spokesperson for Abbott Laboratories, said “science continues to support the safe use of Meridia to treat obesity.”

AstraZeneca PLC, maker of Crestor, has confidence in the drug, spokesperson Emily Denney said. ‘To date, the FDA has not given us any indication of a major concern regarding Crestor,” she said.

Carolyn Glynn, spokesperson for Roche Holdings AG, a maker of Accutane, acknowledged the drug’s complications.

“If my beloved mother were here, she would remind me that rain is liquid sunshine, and I shouldn’t complain about this because the ground probably needs it and somebody is benefiting from it,” said Clinton, who was raised by a hard-working widow, the late Virginia Kelley.

Clinton, much thinner as a result of his September heart surgery, slapped his thigh and chuckled several times as the other ex-presidents recounted stories of past meetings with him.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y, said the new library “is like my husband: it’s open, it’s expansive, its welcoming, it’s filled with life.”

The mottos the women’s soccer team has lived by this season include “Have a chip on your shoulder,” “Pride in Zeros,” “Turn the page” and “Believe.”

With these slogans in mind, the Blue Devils earned a spot in the Sweet 16 and a matchup against No. 10 UCLA (15-6) at 7 p.m. Saturday.

For the first time since the 1994, the 18th-ranked Blue Devils (15-7) advanced past the second round when they defeated No. 3 Virginia 3-0 in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend. Duke is hoping to return the College Cup, which will be held in Cary in December, for the first time since 1992.

Duke overcame one obstacle last weekend, but another one awaits in Los Angeles, and the Blue Devils are looking to avenge last season’s 2-1 loss to the Bruins in Durham.

“I don’t expect a similar result [to last year’s],” said junior forward Carolyn Riggs of the outcome of this year’s matchup.

“We’re definitely coming out for a little bit of revenge. They beat us here on our field so we’d really like to return the favor. They don’t have a few players they had, we don’t have a few players we had, but at the same time we’re definitely confident going

THE CHRONICLE

The biggest obstacle between the field hockey team and a national title has been cleared.

After knocking out top-seeded North Carolina in the quarterfinals, the Blue Devils will have to beat Michigan State and the winner of the MarylandWake Forest semifinal to take home the seventh national title in Duke’s history and the field hockey team’s first. The national semifinal game is scheduled for

4:30 p.m. at Kentner Stadium in Winston-Salem, and the finals will be Sunday at 12:30 on the same field.

Head coach Beth Bozman came to Duke at the start of last season and revolutionized the program, which had been solid in the past but was far from championship-caliber. The Blue Devils are now in their secondstraight Final Four —they lost to Wake Forest in a tight national championship game a year ago with largely the same team that fell just short.

—

Bozman and Duke expected the Final Four, but when the NCAA Tournament draw was released the Blue Devils were annoyed and frustrated at having to face No. 1 UNC in the second round.

After clearing last week’s hurdle, the path to the final game opened up. Instead of facing ACC powers Wake Forest or Maryland, Duke will match up against the lower-ranked Spartans today.

Michigan State, however, beat to return to

SEE FINAL FOUR ON PAGE 16

This time last year, Coastal Carolina (14-7-1) hosted and beat Davidson in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Chanticleers went on to upset thenfourth-seeded North Carolina before falling to Santa Clara 3-2 in overtime. The Duke men’s soccer team (14-5) was sitting at home.

This year, however, the Blue Devils’ season is not over—they host Coastal Carolina in the first game of the NCAA Tournament today at 7 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium.

“We’re very, very happy we get to play at home,” head coach John Rennie said. “I think we missed a seed by just a little bit.

But, we get to play a home game in the first round, and we don’t have to play an ACC team right away. More than that, you can’t really ask for.”

Coming off a first-round loss to Virginia in the ACC Tournament, the Blue Devils return to the NCAA Tournament after failing to qualify last year. The Chanticleers, on the other hand, are making their fourth-straight trip to the postseason. A team withboth experience and youth, Coastal Carolina won the Big South Conference Touma-ment last week.

“We know they have a lot of speed, a few older guys and a lot of foreigners on the team,” midfielder Blake Camp said. “We know they’re going to be very technical, and very fast, especially up top.”

Duke’s defense will be tested by a quick and relatively effective Chanticleer offense that scores on about 15 percent ofits shots.

Leading Coastal Carolina, forward Jordie Hughes and midfielder Mubarike Chisoni have 16 goals each, and forward Boyzzz Khumalo has as many assists. Together, the threesome have contributed 113 of the team’s 157 points.

Even with the strength of the three upperclassmen, Coastal Carolina struggled in the middle of its season. After beginning the year with six straight wins, the Chanticleers lost six of seven midseason matches. Among those games were losses to ACC teams Wake Forest and Virginia Tech.

Blue Devils hunt for victory over Lady Lions by

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

Alana Beard makes her return Cameron Indoor Stadium tonight, but this time as a fan.

Beard will be honored at a halfdme ceremony as the No. 6 Blue Devils (2-1) try to rebound from Wednesday night’s disappointing loss to No. 10 Notre Dame against another top-25 opponent, No. 21 Penn State.

“Hopefully it will make us more determined,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said of Wednesday’s loss. “I would like to play right now. I want to get it out of my system so I’m glad we’re playing on Friday so we’ll see what we’re made of.”

After graduating Beard from last year-s Elite Eight team, Duke, hampered by injuries and a suspension this season, has been forced to overwork returning stars Monique Currie and Mistie Williams. In the loss to the Fighting Irish, Duke held the lead into the second half, but the Blue Devils’ foul trouble and fatigue allowed Notre Dame to take control and win the game by 11.

The shorthanded Blue Devils, who are likely to be without their to

suspended star Lindsey Harding, will once again need to rely on freshman Wanisha Smith to run the point.

“Wanisha Smith is doing an excellent job,” Penn State associate head coach Annie Troyan said. “I don’t think they lose that much ground in that respect, but Harding is really a step quicker.”

With just 48 hours to turn the team around and prepare for a challenging Lady Lions team, the Blue Devils have also listed freshman center Chante Black as questionable for tonight’s game.

Black injured her ankle Sunday and sat out against Notre Dame, leaving the majority of the

rebounding duty to sophomore

Freshman Wanisha Smith is filling in for Lindsey Harding at thepoint, taking on a prominent role early in her collegiate career.

Alison Bales.

“We obviously missed Chante’s 14 rebounds per game,” Goestenkors said. “She’s an excellent rebounded for us and we

missed her depth.”

The Lady Lions are also fresh off a loss after falling to No. 3 Texas, 69-84, as they await the return of head coach of 25 years, Rene Pordand. The coach was hospitalized after a fainting spell last week.

The Lady Lions knocked Notre Dame out of the NCAA Tournament last year, but like Duke, lost three of their key players to graduation and are coping with inexperience.

“We are just trying to get better every game,” Troyan said.

“Our posts are passing the ball a lot more than they did last year.

We have a whole lot ofnice things that we can build on.”

Penn State’s senior guards Tanisha Wright and Jess Strom netted 30 and 18 points, respectively, against Texas and played the entire game. The pair was hardly assisted by their teammates, who scored a combined 21 points.

In tonight’s battle, plenty of questions remain for both inexperienced teams. For the Lady Lions, the guards will have to pressure the ball more and will have to come together to play better defense, Troyan said.

“We are dealing with some inexperience,” Troyan said. “On both ends we need to pick up the intensity a little bit.”

Williams, Smith and Currie will have had one day to recover from playing 34 minutes or more each against Notre Dame.

Similarly, Penn State—notably Wright and Strom, who played full games —will also face fatigue. Duke forward/center Wynter Whitley has been slowed by an ankle ailment this season, and Goestenkors indicated she would not force Whitley to play more minutes at this point in the season.

“We have to go out there and be focused,” Currie said. “We need to be ready for [Penn State].”

The volleyball team rolls into the postseason this weekend with a first-round bye after finishing the regular season with three straight victories, f The No. 3 Blue Devils (19-9, 10-6 in the ACC) will face No. 6 Virginia (19-10, 9-8) tonight in the second round of the ACC Tournament at UVa’s Memorial Gym in Charlottesville, Va. The Cavaliers defeated No. 11 N.C. State 3-1 Thursday night to advance.

Along with No. 1 Georgia Tech and No. 2 Miami, who also enjoy first round byes, Duke holds an advantage over the other eight teams, who would need to win a grueling four matches in as many

days to capture the ACC title.

Still, Duke head coach Jolene Nagel stressed the importance of remaining focused and tenacious during practice and throughout the tournament, attributing her team's recent success to her players’ hunger on the court.

“The second half of the ACC season, we’ve really tried to make sure we’re playing as aggressively as we can, bringing that energy and that effort each time out,” Nagel said. “If we come with the energy that we need, that effort from everyone, then I really feel comfortable that we can do well.”

sportsbriefs Coach G signs 4 for ’O5 Women’s basketball coach Gail Goestenkors has landed the second-best recruiting class in the nation, according to Blue Star Report and All-Star Girls Report.

“I think this is an exceptional class as the players fit in very, very well to what we like to do both offensively and defensively,” Goestenkors said. “From running the ball, spreading the floor and motion.

Both offensively and defensively, they will help make us a good pressing and motion team next year.”

The group is headlined by Abby Waner, Blue Star Report’s No. 2 prospect in the nation. The 5-foot-10 guard, a Colorado native, averaged 31.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 5.4 steals per game in her junior season while earning the label of best shooter in the country.

She will join her sister Emily, who is ’redshirting this season after transferring from Colorado, when the two suit up for the Blue Devils at the start of the 20042005 season.

Forwards Carrem Gay, Keturah Jackson and guard Brittany Mitch round out the class. All three players are 6-feet or taller and each has been ranked among the top 25 players in the class of 2005 by at least one recruiting publication.

“This class could rival the class ofAlana [Beard], kiss Tillis and Vicki Krapohl in what they are going to help us accomplish,” Goestenkors said. “It is a great foundation to continue the success we have had at Duke.”

Seven field hockey players namedAll-South Field hockey placed a team record seven players on the STX/NFHCA AllSouth Region teams. Forward Nicole Dudek and midfielders Hilary Linton and Amy Stopford were first-team selections.

Dudek leads the team in goals, and Linton and Stopford have guided the Duke attack to the highest goals per game average in the nation.

Four other players —forwards Johanna Bischof, forward Katie Grant, defender Gracie Sorbello and goalkeeper Christy Morgan—were named to the All-South second-team.

Duke competes for a national tide this weekend at Wake Forest.

ACC schedules through 2015 set The ACC released the conference games-only portion of its football schedule through 2015. Duke is in the Coastal Division along with Virginia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Miami and Virginia Tech.

The Blue Devils will play all five of their divisional opponents as well as Wake Forest every year and will play two other ACC games per year, against rotating opponents.

ACC Rookie of theYear Michael Videira leads the team with 11 assists and has terrific upheld vision, often feeding passes to fellow freshman Spencer Wadsworth,

M. SOCCER from page 13 Coastal Carolina also faced North Carolina in a preseason exhibition match, which the Tar Heels won 1-0.

Joseph Ngwenya, who was considered by many to be the best player in the country, graduated from last year’s squad.

Although Ngwenya was Coastal Carolina’s standout star, he was supported by Hughes, Chisoni and Khumalo, who have since filled in since his departure.

Despite their offensive strength, the Chanticleers have weaknesses that the Blue Devils will hope to expose. Many of Coastal Carolina’s opponents found success by taking advantage of the Chanticleers’ inability to stop a strong counterattack. In a regular season loss to UNC-Greensboro, Coastal Carolina gave up both of its goals off of steals.

The Blue Devils will use their defensive prowess to minimize Coastal Carolina’s offensive threat. Led by sophomore Danny Miller, the Duke back line and goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge have allowed only 16 goals in 19 games this season and shut out 10 teams.

Freshman Spencer Wadsworth leads the team with 21 points, adding a youthful vitality to the offense. He and fellow freshman Michael Videira, who was

named ACC Rookie of the Year, have together contributed 10 goals this season.

Although the younger players have helped the Blue Devils tremendously, the experienced players have also supplied many of the team’s clutch goals. Junior Danny Kramer and senior Nigi Adogwa lead the team with three game-winning goals apiece.

“Two games ago, we scored three goals in 30 minutes against Wake Forest,” Rennie said. “It was our best offensive per-

formance of the season, and it was only two games ago. We’re getting better. We’re still growing as a team, and I’m very happy with the way things are going.”

In its ninth appearance in the NCAA Tournament in the past 13 years, Duke hopes to cap off its successful season with a trip to the College Cup, but are focused on taking “everything one game at a time,” Camp said.

“I know it’s cliche,” he added. “But that’s really what we’re trying to do right now.”

FINAL FOUR from page 13 Duke 4-1 in the second game of the season when starting Blue Devil keeper Christy Morgan sat out with an injury.

Duke outshot Michigan State 18-7 and had an 11-1 advantage in penalty corners and still lost by a wide margin, primarily because of lackluster play in net.

“This is a whole new season for us,” said Michigan State head coach Michele Madison despite the early-season victory. “We have put everything behind us. Of course, it always gives you confidence to know that you can beat a team, but that doesn’t mean anything at this point. It is all about what you do for 70 minutes between the lines on Friday at 4:30. That is all that matters.”

All year long, the lone non-conference loss has been a black mark on Duke’s record and may have played a role in the tournament committee’s decision to deny the team one of the four seeds.

“We are not even close to the team we were then,” Bozman said. “This has not been an easy season. Every week we’ve had to fix things, and we’ve had to scrape for everything we’ve gotten. Last year, we had a lot of luck on our side. This year, we’ve had to earn everything we’ve gotten.”

Duke defeated Maryland in the national semifinals before losing to the Demon Deacons last year. But this season, the Blue Devils’ opening loss to the Spartans,

followed by losses in three out of four games to Maryland, Wake Forest and North Carolina, had the Blue Devils on the verge of a lost season heading into the NCAA Tournament.

But one win against the Tar Heels may have changed

everything.

“There has not been the build up that there was last

year,” sophomore midfielder Hilary Linton said. “We haven’t won a lot of major games, and [the UNC game] gave us a lot of confidence.”

The Spartans are led by the dangerous Veerle Goudswaard, who has notched a school-record 31 goals and 65 points. The speedy forward had two unassisted, breakaway goals against the Blue Devils in their matchup earlier this year.

The Blue Devils, though, didn’t have Goudswaard or the second game of the season on their minds this week in practice.

‘We’re not worried about them as much as we are worried about how we are going to play,” senior Chrissie Murphy said.

In Bozman’s first season, last year’s Final Four was a bonus, a reward for a team that had accomplished more than any in Duke history. This time around, the Blue Devils thought they would be heading to Winston-Salem.

‘This is for me, my sixth time, and it never gets old,” Bozman said. “It’s such a great feeling to know that you are one of just four teams left in the country playing.”

In her two years at Duke, Hilary Linton has helped the Blue Devils reach their first two Final Fours in team history.

The Terrapins prefer to play a slow down, methodical game. The team is not as fast as Duke but is very fundamentally sound. Against the Blue Devils, Maryland generated a lot of offense off of its counterattack. One of their more potent offensive players is midfielder Paula Infante, who tallied all five goals in Maryland's openinground game against Delaware.

WMKtFORIST Even though Wake Forest lost several key contributors from last year's national championship team, a number of younger players have stepped up and filled the void. The teams best player is senior Kelly Dostal, who leads the team in points and is tied for the lead in goals. Dostal was also named the ACC Offensive Player of the Year.

MICHI6AH STATE Veerle Goudswaard, who has scored a school-record 31 goals this season, leads the Spartans' attack. Michigan State beat Duke 4-1 in the second game of the season, but the Blue Devils were without goalie Christy Morgan and significantly outshot the Spartans. Like Duke, Michigan State will be playing in its second Final Four today in Winston-Salem.

this weekend. If Duke defeats the Tar Heels, it will have prevented its opponent from becoming bowl-eligible for the second week in a row.

“We’re not trying to let too much hype get around this and affect the way we prepare for games,” linebacker Giuseppe Aguanno said.

Saturday will mark Aguanno and the other seniors’ last game as Blue Devils.

The members of the graduating class hope to end their Duke football careers by defeating the Tar Heels, but in order to do so, the Blue Devils will have to take on a strong North Carolina offense, led by star seniors quarterback Darian Durante and centerjason Brown, fighting to potentially prolong their college careers.

“It’s very important for them to close this season out, finish the right way,” said Tar Heels head coach John Bunting, who was thought to be in the hot seat at season’s start but may have saved his job with several big wins.

Durante, a dark horse candidate for ACC Player of the Year, has had an impressive second half to his season after a getting off to a shaky start. The quarterback, who has a 2-1 career record against the Blue Devils, threw for 225 yards last week at Wake Forest and racked up 266 yards in the Tar Heels’ shocking Oct. 30 upset over Miami.

The running game, however, has been the centerpiece of the North Carolina offense. Brown, widely regarded as one of the top centers in the country, has been the anchor of a solid offensive line.

Strong blocking has resulted in a season during which three different tailbacks have had games of 100-plus yards rushing. The versatile nature of the UNC rushing attack has made it difficult for defenders to contain.

“We’ve got to play excellent on defense,” Roof said. “We’ve got to stop the run.”

Earlier in the season, the Blue Devils had difficulty containing the ground game, notably allowing 348 yards rushing Oct. 23 against Virginia.

Duke, however, restricted Clemson to 250 total offensive yards, allowing only one third-down conversion in 12 attempts last

LUCIE STONE/THE CHRONICLE

‘That’s something we’re really proud of,” Aguanno said. “Coach Roof emphasizes effort and husde to the ball, and I think [the statistics] are a direct result of that.”

The Tar Heels, on the other hand, have struggled defensively this season.

Ranked last in the ACC, North Carolina’s defense has allowed opponents to gain an average of 465 yards per game, although the team has lately shown grad-

ual improvement in pass defense.

The Blue Devils consistendy strung positive plays together late in the game last week, culminating in a 54-yard scoring drive fueled by the arm of quarterback Mike Schneider. Duke gained 213 yards through the air last week, but Clemson managed to limit the team to a mere 21

yards rushing.

While the Blue Devils can look to improve upon their running game against the less-potent North Carolina defense, they will likely rely on

Schneider’s passing skills and the accuracy of kicker Matt Brooks to put points on the scoreboard.

The interplay of the strengths and weaknesses of the rival teams and the enthusiasm of the capacity crowd expected at Wallace Wade, could invigorate an often-silent stadium, and a Duke victory could bring the goal posts crashing down for the second-straight week.

“It will be a great day to be a college football fan Saturday in Wallace Wade,” Roof said.

W. SOCCER from page 13 look from a year ago having lost a number of seniors, including All-American defender Nandi Pryce. Bruins sophomore Bristyn Davis and junior Stacy Lindstrom took the year off in order to play for the United States under-19 Team. Yet without these stars, UCLA is still an athletic and talented team comprised of many of the West Coast’s most outstanding players.

“One of UCLA’s things is their athletic ability all over the field,” head coach Robbie Church said. ‘They were the second-best team in the country last year.”

The challenge of facing another of the nation’s elite teams is exciting, junior Heidi Hollenbeck said. Throughout the year the Duke players have motivated themselves through various methods.

After their disappointing draw, the players sent numerous e-mails encouraging each other to look at the Virginia game as an opportunity, Church said.

Now they are looking at Saturday’s match as another chance to disprove skeptics, who question Duke’s ability to compete at a national level. The team had a strong week of practice carrying over the momentum from the UVa win and are optimistic about this weekend.

VOLLEYBALL from page 14 their high level of play, as Duke split a pair of regular-season matchups with the Cavaliers.

The Blue Devils handled Virginia well in the teams’ first meeting, defeating the Cavaliers in four games. UVa dominated the Blue Devils in their most recent meeting at Charlottesville, as Duke lost in a 3-0 sweep.

‘The last time we played [Virginia] they kept the ball in play and kept hitting it back at us,” Nagel said. “UVa has done a

“I don’t think [the Bruins] have the same prowess they did last year,” Hollenbeck said. “The game against Virginia we played so physical, and so we’re going to justkeep that physical level.”

Offensively, the Blue Devils have come alive as of late. Riggs has scored six goals in the team’s last seven games and sophomore Sarah McCabe returned from a hip injury suffered during the ACC Tournament to add two goals in the opening two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.

“As a forward it’s one of the roles that I have to play to finish goals when I have the opportunity,” Riggs said. “People are looking for me more and people are doing their jobs really well and it makes my job easier.”

Duke is two goals shy of tying its singleseason record of 67 for most scores in a season. The three forwards, Riggs, McCabe and senior Casey McCluskey, have totaled more than half the team’s total.

Although the Blue Devils have experienced more success this season than in any in the last decade, neither the players nor coaches want to see it end, especially for this class of seniors.

“I just don’t want us to be satisfied that we’re at the Sweet 16,” Church said. “It was a great win at Virginia but can we build on that and build confidence and then go to the Elite Eight.”

The Blue Devils look to avenge last year's loss to UCLA in the Sweet 16 Saturday in Los Angeles.

good job of ball control—getting the ball back to their hitters so their hitters can do something with it.”

This week in practice, the team watched videos of Virginia in an effort to correct some of the weaknesses the Cavaliers exploited in the teams’ last contest.

“We have to make sure that we’re crisp and we have to make sure that offensively we’re getting our feet to the ball so we hit where we want to hit against their defense,” Nagel said. “So the timing issue and the servicing issue are the things you

have to do daily so you make sure you don’t lose them.”

Nagel looks to senior Stephanie Istvan, who was named to the All-ACC first team Wednesday, as well as sophomore Second Team All-ACC Tealle Hunkus and AllFreshman Team members Carrie DeMange and Ali Hausfeld to anchor the squad. “[lstvan] has really done a great job of playing solid defense back there and holding the team together,” Nagel said. “Her service has been very consistent and she motivates. I think she’s someone that’s

been very important to us and has helped lead all the other people.”

If the Blue Devils defeat Virginia tonight, they will face the winner the game between No. 2 Miami and No. 7 Maryland.

Although Nagel remains confident that her team will be successful this weekend, she was quick to point out that any team is capable of pulling out a victory.

“It’s really hard to predict who we’re actually going to play,” said Nagel. “I definitely think it could be anyone’s opportunity this weekend.”

Policy change for Saturday’s game Due to the timing of the football game and the basketball game on Saturday, there were concerns that some students might feel they had to choose between the football game and getting in line early for the basketball game. Because we want to encourage everyone to attend the football game and cheer on our seniors’ final victory in Wallace Wade, we will be working with a modified policy for the basketball line. Here is how Saturday’s line for the basketball game will work: Prior to the start of the football game at 12 p.m., anyone may join the line in K-ville. At 11:45 a.m., line monitors will register everyone who is already in line. At that time, everyone should go to the football game.

The line monitors will do the same. If you wish to join the line during the football game, please go to Wallace Wade stadium and find the line monitors sitting in the student section. We will be wearing our jackets and standing right next to one of the staircases for easy access. Because we are effectively giving grace for the football game, we will be requiring that groups have two-thirds

of their members present at the time of registration rather than the normal half.

Groups may have up to six people. After the game has ended, anyone who registered before or during the football game will have 20 minutes to get in line in K-ville before we will have a line check.

We are strongly encouraging, but not requiring, that students who register at the football game remain there the entire time.

This policy is in place to avoid having people skip the football game or leave the football game early to get in line. Once the line has re-formed in K-ville after the game, normal walk-up rules will apply for the remaining time before the game.

This is the season finale for football, and the season opener for basketball, so it’s a big day. Please come out and support the football team, and especially the seniors, in full force as they beat Carolina and retain the Victory Bell! Go Duke!

Fear and loathing in the BC If you ever go temporarily insane, don’t shoot somebody, like a lot of people do. Instead, try to gel some weeding done, because you’d be really surprised.

—Jack Handy

Hey,

could you turn down that clock? Time is almost ending. On the drive over. Eddie Hull in the backseat recording every alcohol violation. So tailgate, he tells us, but don’t. Drink more. Drink less.

Get your priorities straight, undergraduates, McDonald’s is now BK with a drive-thru. The driver asks, Where do I go? And it’s Dane Cook saying, Go to the Texaco Station, take a right, go five and a half miles Southeast. You’re going to see a guy in a yellow poncho. His name’s Hank, he’ll take you to the Whopper Layer. That’s where you go. And you’ve got 10 minutes to get there or we take your food.

But Hank is really Colin Powell, stepping down We’ve made it to the Atrium. James I, he says, saw himself as the agent of God on Earth. He thought he was divinely appointed. Mandated.

And the only way his subjects could oberic vivier ject to his policies calmer than you are was to pray for his amendment.

As though 53 percent leads to an absolute monarchy, to a marriage between politics and religion. A marriage between a man and a woman. Go you, he says, and pray.

And Larry Moneta rocking back and forth, saying this is a safe place, this is a safe place, she’s lying. Go to sleep, go to sleep, don’t question what we tell you.

It was true that it was false this time, so it must be true that it was false last time. Read what is written.

But the libraries are closing, I say. And they are.

The Buffalo and Erie County Public Libraries, better known, perhaps, as the B&ECPL, suffering from the county’s 80 percent cut in budget allocations (about $l9 million), are closing 52 locations Jan. 1. They ask that all materials be returned no later than Dec. 27.

And after dinner, senior portraits. We must be getting old. No, time is not almost ending. College will last forever. I pose in the Boyd-Pishko Cafe and answer questions about my life, my future, my career plans. None, I say. I’m an English major. As if that answers everything. Starting in one place and ending in another is fine as long as you know how you got there.

At the bar in the ‘Dillo, Faran and Whitney share drinks with Sarah Jessica Parker. You have not been replaced, I tell them. Either your shoes were too big to fill or maybe we tired of it. Because it was a love affair that made us feel a little bit worse about ourselves. Made us feel cheap and used, belittled and betrayed by our own peers. Made us sneak into a closed room to read your drivel and emerge with that terrible taste of a world we longed to deny but knew was true, was all around us, was everywhere. If the shoe fits.

Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin shoot a game of pool and discuss who would make the better Duke student. I am here to give hope to the least of you, Homer says, because we all have a crayon up our nose. Maybe it’s not a crayon made of wax. Maybe it’s a crayon made of prejudice. Peter pockets the nine in the side. Oh yeah? he replies. Well, I got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about.

And so I tell Peter that he would not fit in. Duke is not a place to have radical ideas of any kind, progressive or conservative. If you’re not saying what people want to hear, they won’t listen.

Just because you don’t like what he has to say doesn’t mean it’s about nothing. A voice of reason in the crowd. That’s just mean.

But time is ending after all. The library is closing, the library is closing, I yell, but Ayn Rand is there, drowning out my voice, screaming Capitalism! at the top of her lungs. &
