Bell Tower opens to Class of 'O9 Security by

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

When East Campus officially opened to the Class of 2009 Wednesday, a crop of eager freshman students unloaded clothes, books and other belongings into their new home: Bell Tower Dormitory, the University’s newest residence hall. Bell Tower is a point of contact among different parts of the University and includes several unique, collaborative features. It is a place where students can live in spacious dorm rooms, socialize in media and game rooms, learn in classrooms, voice concerns to police officers at the Duke University Police Department substation, meet with professors in conference rooms or concentrate on their health and nutrition at a health space dubbed the “Zen post.” Though many of the freshman residents marveled at the novelty of living in a brand new dorm, some said they were surprised by other people’s reactions to their living situation and are still grasping the idea of spending their first year at Duke in the state-of-the-art dorm. “I’ve gotten a lot of envious glares when I tell people I’m living in Bell Tower. I didn’t even know it was such a commodity,” freshman SEE MOVE-IN ON PAGE 10

Student receives sentence in Armenia by

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Graduate student Yektan Turkyilmaz was released from Armenian custody Aug. 15 with a suspended sentence for violation of a law governing book exportation.

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

After being arrested June 17, Yektan Turkyilmaz—a fourthyear graduate student in the Department of Cultural Anthropology—was released from Armenian custody Aug. 15. Although Turkyilmaz, a citizen of neighboring Turkey, was found guilty of violating an Armenian law that bans the exportation of books more than than 50 years old, he was released from a nearly twomonth long custody at police headquarters in the city of Yerevan. He was given a two-year suspended sentence on charges of trying to take approximately 90 old books out of the country. The maximum penalty for the crime is four to eight years in prison, but prosecutors in the trial requested Turkyilmaz not be imprisoned due to his

admittance of guilt and cooperation with authorities, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. The scholar’s imprisonment spurred a multi-pronged effort in which Duke administrators, government officials and more than 200 students issued letters and pleas to Armenian President Robert Kocharian for Turkyilmaz’s release. Former U.S. Sen. Robert Dole and husband to current Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., Trinity ’5B, issued an open letter to Kocharian. “Armenia has many friends in the United States,” Dole wrote, “but we cannot and will not defend the indefensible.” Turkyilmaz has not been released from Armenia, as it is customary in the country that the judge’s verdict not take effect until two weeks after it is issued.

Duke officials announced last week that they hired Allied Security to provide security services for the University this year. The new firm will assume the responsibilities formerly held by Securitas USA, Duke’s previous security services provider. Allied safety personnel began patrols around East, West and Central campuses using bicycles, cars and Segways Aug. 19. “We’re looking to improve the reputation of security officers on campus. That’s one of the reasons we’re looking to make some changes,” Vice President for Campus Services Kernel Dawkins said. “We believe Allied will be able to provide the services we’re looking for more in keeping with what our goals are.” Securitas’ contract with Duke expired in May, and the hiring of Allied came as a result of an internal review ofDuke’s safety and security needs. Both Securitas and Allied submitted proposals, and Allied was chosen based on its strong professional reputation at peer institutions and its rigorous training program for employees, Dawkins said. Leanora Minai, senior public relations specialist for Duke University Police Department, noted Allied already has contracts at Harvard University, Columbia SEE SECURITY ON PAGE 14

It also wants to close Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota and Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.

Late Thursday, the commission decided to approve its own proposal to close the Galena Airport Forward Operation Location in Alaska, which the Air Force uses for training and to land fighter jets when necessary.

A recent gift of $4.5 million from alumni Aubrey and Katie McClendon will be put toward the new West Campus student plaza, President Richard Brodhead announced Thursday. The heftiest financial sum Duke has received in support of the plaza, the McClendons’ donation is also the naming gift for the $lO-million project. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said the name of the plaza will be selected before its scheduled opening to the University community in Fall 2006. “We’ll work with the [the McCLendons] on deciding the name of the plaza. It’ll be a partnership,” Moneta told The Chronicle Thursday. The plaza, a 40,000-square-foot elevated space that will connect the Bryan Center, Page Auditorium and West Union Building, is designed to serve multiple functions. It will include open areas for socializing, staging arts performances and

Josh Parker, a former resident of the Trinity Park neighborhood near East who has been active in enhancing town-gown efforts in recent years, thinks these new efforts are a step in the right direction. “I went to freshman orientation last SEE ORIENTATION ON PAGE 13

Duke was fifth in the 2006 U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking of “America’s Best Colleges, a position it has held for three consecutive years. Duke shared the spot again with Stanford University, but the Massachusetts Institute of Technology —which also tied for fifth last year—slipped to number seven. “It's nice to not go down,” Provost Peter Lange said. “But as we say every year these are extremely questionable ways of viewing higher education.” The top four spots remained unchanged from last year. Harvard University and Princeton University tied for first while Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania ranked third and fourth, respectfully. U.S. News and World Report also ranked Duke number nine for “best values,” a ranking determined by comparing a school’s academic quality with its cost. The Pratt School of Engineering overall remained in 22nd place for best undergraduate engineering program. The school’s biomedical/biomedical engineering specialization, however, placed second.

many parties, sometimes even sho\ving up small get-togethers that are not generating excessive noise. Senior Billy Fennebresque, who lives in a Trinity Park house on Urban Street, said at least three parties were broken up by the police Wednesday night. “Standing on my front porch you could see four or five cops,” he said. Paul Montgomery, a three-year resident ofWatts and Urban streets in Trinity Park, has also noticed more police in the area. He mentioned, however, that students at a party near his home Wednesday “seemed to be able to police themselves pretty well.” Although Montgomery said he is understanding of college students’ desire to

The beginning of the Duke school year is full of traditions: move-in, convocation, signing the Community Standard—and partying off East Campus. As the fall semester gets underway, students and Durham residents living near East are butting heads about the off-campus party scene, as they have been for years. Last fall the Duke University Police Department began joint patrols with the Durham Police Department in an extended jurisdiction off East. Those patrols were out in full force the first few weeks of the semester, but residents in the Trinity Park and Trinity Heights neighborhoods say they’ve seen an increased presence this year over last. Many students have already complained that police are breaking up too

Students flock to off-campus parties at the beginning of each year, upsetting neighbors with noise.

New Duke official to address off-campus issues Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

This fall there will be a new face amid the continuing controversy over tensions between students and residents off East Campus. The Office of Judicial Affairs, a branch of Student Affairs, has created a new position to field neighbors’ grievances regarding excessive noise and disrespectful behaviors from students living and partying off campus. The position—Duke’s latest step in ad-

dressing such complaints —will also provide additional resources for the Student Affairs office. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta emphasized that the position will not be limited to “off-campus” issues. “Local news media has been building this as a unique position dedicated to offcampus [complaints],” he said. “But it’s not going to be limited to this one role. It’s an additional position in the Student Affairs staff.” Moneta explained that the new hire will

give the office more opportunities to do preventive work, such as engaging students in conversation about the community’s grievances.

The hire is one of a number ofrecent attempts by both Duke and Durham residents to form a more cohesive student-resident community off campus. In March, residents of neighborhood communities located near East created an organization to focus on the resolution of student disruptions. In 2004, Duke formed BIueSPARC, a

Duke coalition that addresses off-campus and alcohol-related issues. Durham residents remain hopeful that the new student affairs official will continue to help foster a better relationship between town and gown. “I think it has huge potential,” said Linda Wilson, a Trinity Park resident. “It just depends on exacdy what that person is charged to do in their position. I think anytime the University makes attempts to improve campus-community interaction it’s a good thing.”

THE CHRONICLE

Dressed in flowing garb, administrators welcomed students and parents in the Duke Chapel Thursday afternoon for the Graduate and professional schools’ convocation. In the convocation address, dean of the Pratt School of Engineering Kristina Johnson encouraged students to seize the opportunity presented in graduate and professional education with “passion, persistence and commitment.” “Duke is a place where you can make great things happen, but I want to share my perspective on what it will take to make the most out of your graduate education here,” Johnson said. She stressed the significance of the roles of science and technology in the late 20th and eary 21st centuries, noting that the United States has “always benefited from the global influx of the world’s best and brightest.” She also emphasized the importance of w omen and minority representation in science and engineering. Johnson welcomed this year’s graduate students to contribute their talents and academic efforts to solring problems related to poverty, health and energy with their studies and research. “I’ve always told my graduate students problems are opportunities,’’Johnson said. “The hardest part of your thesis will be to find that opportunity.” Johnson also shared three personal stories illustrating qualities of individuals the new students should strive to exemplify. The first story was about her nephew, a student who gave up his engineering studies to pursue his true passion in music; he eventually became a world famous composer. The next was about her mother, a 60-year-old woman who wanted to further her education and returned to school to obtain a college degree. The last story was about a graduate student diagnosed with cancer. After she was told she might have only two years to live, she chose to finish her research and make an invaluable contribution to science. This last individual was Johnson herself. As a conclusion to her address and a welcome to the students gathered in the Chapel, Johnson left the stu-

tain radio shows. The collaboration with PRI —a non-profit company that produces content that is distributed to more than 760 public radio stations nationwide—will go through a trial period fall semester. It will allow participating professors to provide their students with audio content from three PRI shows—’’This American Life,” “PRl’s This World” and “PRl’s Studio 360 with Kurt Anderson”—free of charge. Professors can use the broadcasts in a number of ways, including to keep students up to date on current events and provide them with historical perspectives on different issues. Organizers stress, however, that each professor will find his or her own way to incorporate the material. Julia Mears, Trinity ‘B5 and director of brand strategy and sponsor alliances at PRI, said she approached Duke primarily because of her alumna affiliation. She said she also thought Duke was “more forward-thinking with regards to using technology in the classroom than other schools.” Mears stressed that the program is also a test for PRI. In its <juest to find new audiences through technology, PRI wants to know whether and how best its content can be translated into an educational environment. “We expect behavior is differentbetween the typical listener and a college student,” she said.

ulty resources, student selectivity and graduation and retention rates combine to make up 80 percent of the final score. University’s financial resources and alumni giving rates also are used in the determination of the rankings. However, the rankings are often criticized for trying to quantify abstract traits that make up a college’s value. “On the one hand, it’s gratifying to be among the top five universities in the country. On the other hand, you don’t want to get so conceited about it,” Vice President for Student Affairs Tarn Moneta said, adding that there is probably little difference between the top-20 schools. Lange said too much emphasis is placed on the magazine’s rankings and urged prospective students to seek out additional sources ofinformation. “I’ve said—and the President’s said—when kids are picking colleges they’re going to need to have a lot more informa-

tion than you’re ever going to get out of one of those polls,” he added. The Princeton Review also published its annual college rankings this week. The results, based on surveys of over 110,000 college students, lists colleges in categories such as campus food, student happiness and best and worst dormitories. Duke ranked 14th in “toughest school to get into” and “jock school.” The University was also ranked eighth for best college newspaper. On the negative side, however, Duke also ranked fifth in “town-gown relations strained, sixth in “little race/class interaction," and 13th in worst off-campus social scene. Moneta said the problem with the Princeton Review’s rankings is that they are “reputational issues”—not easily quantifiable—adding that “reputations lack behind reality.” “I think we have outstanding towngown relationships but I think it’ll take three more years before that works its way to the survey,” he said. i *

THE CHRONICL,E

TURKYILMAZ from page 1 Sources close to the 33-year-old scholar confirm, however, that he will be out of Armenia by the end of the month and back at Duke by Sept. 1 as a fellow in the

Franklin Humanities Institute. “He’s doing okay. He’s still in Armenia, but he sounds okay,” said Turkyilmaz’s sister Zeynep. She said she was not able to communicate with her brother during his detention. Since his release, they have communicated regularly. Turkyilmaz traveled to Armenia in order to continue

research for his dissertation, which involves investigating the involvement of Kurds, Turks and Armenians in the transformation of eastern Anatolia—the Asian region of Turkey—in the early 20th century. Friend and faculty advisor Orin Stam, professor of cultural anthropology, initially called Turkyilmaz’s arrest ironic given that the scholar is calling for fellow Turks to recognize and understand their role in the persecution of Armenians in the early 1900s. “That part of the world—in some ways like the U.S.— has a history of bad relations between different groups. Yektan, as much as anyone I know, is a bridge builder,” Starn said. “He is Turkish, but a Kurd himself, he has

friends who are Armenian.” Starn went to Armenia to attend Turkyilmaz’s weeklong trial and remains supportive ofhis student, whom he

called a “fine young man.” “All of the books thatYektan had were related to his research in Armenian history,” he said. “He was brave, generous and courageous during his trial.” Starn noted that Turkyilmaz befriended the two other prisoners held in his cell, often offering them food he was able to obtain from outside the jail. Starn said his student also became quite proficient in Russian—the seventh language in which he is now competent.

DORM from page 1 Tallman Trask, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta and Dean of Residence Life and Housing Services Eddie Hull also made remarks. Brodhead said that at Duke, a student’s first-year dorm is a signature aspect of their total college experience. “Home isn’t where you’re from—home is where you find out who you are,” he said, quoting a saying from a mid-1990s college television show. “A dorm is an enabler of that, a symbol of the moment. How long will this building be inhabited? Thousands of years.” Bell Tower boasts many features that will be available to the entire University community, including a media room with a 61-inch plasma screen television, a Duke University Police Department substation and a music room, Resident Coordinator Chris Ellis said Thursday. Ellis said it also has several classrooms and meeting rooms that will have all of the technological ad-

vantages of classrooms elsewhere on campus as well as a student health space —or “Zen post”—that will play host to a dietician and pilates, massage therapy and healthy eating classes. Bell Tower residents will also have wireless networking throughout the dorm. Ellis said Duke also has a partnership with Cisco Systems which will provide Bell Tower with four wireless cable channels— ESPN, ESPN2, CNN and MTVU—that students will be able to pick up online from their computers. At the opening ceremony, Brodhead thanked those in attendance for their diligence in planning the dorm’s various features but warned them not to be surprised if the significance of their work becomes a mere memory lodged in the back of the minds of those who benefit from the building’s resources.“lt will not be long before your contribution to this building will be forgotten,” he said. “Humans are not instinctively a grateful species.” Trask emphasized the new dorm as a symbol of reconnecting East Campus with

the Durham community, recognizing the historical significance of towers in Durham and the fact that the dorms will glow Duke Blue at night. Moneta said the building also highlights partnerships between RLHS and different aspects of the University—including DUPD, student health and Trinity College ofArts & Sciences. Hull stressed that the building is a gateway for the rest of the University. “We’re trying to make not only Bell Tower but East Campus a home for the entire community,” he said. Though Bell Tower is the only fourstory resident hall on East, Moneta said the vastness of the building will not cause its residents to suffer any loss ofcommunity feeling that so often characterizes the

freshman-year experience. “There are only going to be 150 residents, so it’s a small building. The common area serves all of East; it will pick up a lot of traffic,” Moneta said, acknowledging

that the dorm’s residents will strive to balance its likely popularity with an inherent sense of community.

year and there was absolutely no information about Durham shared,” he said. “There is a lot that needs to be done. [Freshmen] are coming to a much larger community than just Duke.” Some students said they thought that the orientation efforts were well-intentioned, but others noted that selling Durham as full offun and opportunities is somewhat misleading. “I think Duke students think Durham has very little to offer,” sophomore FAC Mike Harris said. “I come from a big city, and for someone to tell me that Durham has as

Many neighbors thought it was a good idea to introduce themselves to the new students, but the move-in project never got off the ground. Many neighbors said they liked the idea but found it hard to fit volunteer work into their Wednesday morning schedules. In another effort to increase interaction between students and neighbors, community activists and administrators are working to provide freshmen with an opportunity to have dinner with an off-East neighbor in the coming months.

PLAZA from page 3 give back to the University, a very special place for us where we met 27 years ago,” Aubrey McClendon said in a press release. “Duke changed our lives in many important ways, and we are hopeful that through our giving back to Duke, we can help enhance the lives of today’s Duke undergraduates. We believe Duke is an exceptionally well-run institution, and we look forward to further philanthropy at the University in the years to come,” Katie McClendon graduated from Duke in 1980 and formerly served on the Board of Visitors for the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. Aubrey McClendon, the co-founder, chair and chief executive officer of Chesapeake Energy Corporation, graduated from Trinity in 1981 and is currently a member of the Fuqua School of Business Board of Visitors. The couple lives in Oklahoma City. In addition to the plaza gift, the McClendons donated $BOO,OOO to fund a new pipe organ in the Goodson Chapel of the Divinity School and $700,000 to support the Trinity and Fuqua annual funds from 2005 to 2009. Saidi Chen contributed to this story.

As part of theconstruction of the new student plaza, the Bryan Center walkway will be closed Monday, Aug. 29, and destroyed.

University, Northeastern University and the University of Pennsylvania. “They have a track record of providing campus security,” Minai said. Ten to 15 Allied personnel at a time will supplement security provided by DUPD and Duke security officers. Before beginning patrols, all Allied officers working on campus underwent a week ofadditional training with DUPD. “The idea is that they give us another set of eyes and ears in our effort to maintain a safe campus,” Minai said. “They will hopefully act as a deterrent.” For now, the new security firm will only provide patrol services, but as a more thorough examination of Duke’s security needs is conducted throughout the year, additional services may be added, Dawkins explained. “Initially they’re going to provide patrolling support, but we’re also going to utilize or learn from their experiences at other campuses where they have provided addi-

tional services,” Dawkins said. “It’s a one-year contract and obviously we’re going to be reviewing their performance.” He added that officials would continue to review patrol routes and shift resources as necessary. Allied’s experience with security cameras and remote technology may also be integrated into Duke’s security measures. Additionally, administrators announced plans to assign two DUPD officers to a new patrol route on the perimeter of East Campus. Minai cited the addition of the new Bell Tower Dormitory on the edge of East as a main reason for this change. “As our campus grows we want to make sure we provide a service to the student population and have the parents feel safe and secure with their kids at school,” she said. “Nowhere is going to get less coverage, it’s Just that those two officers will exclusively work that area.” The changes come in the midst of a period of flux for Duke security. Former DUPD Police Chief Clarence Birkhead stepped down in June, and administrators are currently looking to fill the newly-created role of associate vice president for campus safety and security.

THE CHRONICLE

Senior Shelden Williams helped leadUSA to a gold medal at the Men's World University Games.

Let the anticipation begin The Atlantic Coast Conference released the 2005-2006 men’s basketball schedules Aug. 23 and for many Duke fans, their attention immediately turned to Dec. 10th. College basketball aficionados are already circling their calendars on the date when Duke battles Texas at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ. Numerous preseason polls have ranked the two teams as among the best in the nation, potentially the top two. But before this highly anticipated showdown, Duke will begin the year in the Preseason NIT, playing Boston University Nov. 14 at Cameron Indoor Stadium and then either Manhattan or Seton Hall two days later. The NIT semifinals and finals will take place Nov. 23 and Nov. 25, respectively, at Madison Square Garden in New York. In this season’s ACC/Big 10Challenge, Duke will not have a chance to avenge its Sweet 16 loss to Michigan State. Instead, the Blue Devils will travel to Bloomington, Ind. to take on the Hoosiers. In the heavily-weakened ACC, Duke’s hardest competition may come Feb. 1 against conference-newcomer Boston College. With the ACC’s new scheduling format, the Blue Devils will square off against the Eagles only once. One constant theme of the Blue Devil schedule is playing in large arenas that have been used as NCAA Tournament

Several of Duke’s top basketball players spent August chasing gold. Seniors Shelden Williams and Monique Currie each achieved their goal leading the USA’s Men’s and Women’s World University Games Teams to the top prize in their respective tournaments. Senior JJ. Redick also competed for the USA as a member of the U2l team, but the red, white and blue finished fifth, losing to Canada in the quarterfinals. The men’s university team defeated Ukraine 85-70 in the gold-medal game Aug. 21 in Izmir, Turkey. The team finished with a perfect 8-0 record, winning their games by an average of 29.9 points. “I had the chance to play against several guys who are stars at their colleges,” Williams said. “We all came in and gelled together. There were no egos on the team and we all had the same thing in mind—we were going to do what we could to win the gold and fortunately it happened to work out well for us.” Williams, one of 50 preseason Wood-

en Award Candidates, finished tops on the men’s university team with averages of 14.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per contest.

The team, comprised of 12 of the nation’s best collegiate players, provided Williams the opportunity to practice against elite competition over the summer. “It gave me a chance to play against some competition that I might play against next year,” Williams said. “Also I can see how hard I need to work, especially preparing for the preseason.” The experience also afforded him the chance to travel and see some sights in Turkey. “It’s a different kind of feel than the states over there,” Williams said. “It’s a nice place but it makes you appreciate where you come from a lot more. We had the chance to go to a beach out there and then we got a chance to go to Ephesus, which is one of the churches that is talked about in the bible.” Williams said in addition to the preparation the tournament will give him SEE USA ON PAGE 24

Many fans chuckled at Randolph’s decision, even saying that the Blue Devils might be better off with freshman stud Josh Mcßoberts in the starting lineup. Now it might be Randolph enjoying the last laugh. Randolph signed a partially-guaranteed contract with the Philadelphia late last month after the NBA and its union ratified their new collective bargaining agreement. He then shined at the 76ers recent mini-camp and received an invitation to the team’s training camp, which will be held on Duke’s campus in early October.

lawsuit by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

It turns out money can heal any wound The NCAA decided to purchase both the pre- and postseason NIT Tournaments, ending an anti-trust suit brought against it by the operating members of the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association, which runs both tournaments. The NCAA spent $40.5 million on the purchase as well as a $l6 million settlement to end litigation. NCAA president Myles Brand and John Sexton, president of New York University, one of the five schools that make up the MIBA, announced the agreement in a press conference August 17. Both men seemed extremely pleased with the outcome, as Sexton proclaimed it a “victory without defeat.” NYU, Fordham University, Wagner College, Manhattan College, and St. Johns University—all of which are NCAA members—made up the MIBA, which will now disband. “We’ve now unified postseason basketball,” Brand said. “We believe that this is good for the game, we believe that it will provide a continuity throughout the game—especially for our fans.” In November, Duke will participate in the 2005 preseason NIT, which Brand assured “will go on as planned.” Brand said many of the details of the NCAA operation of the newly acquired tournaments have yet to be worked out, but he and Sexton both stressed the importance of keeping the NIT in New York. Sexton said the 40-team postseason event will gready benefit from its new ownership. SEE NCAA ON PAGE 24

After more than two weeks of preseason training, the women’s soccer team is itching to begin their season. The No. 12 Blue Devils kick off their 2005 campaign with a match against UNC-Greensboro tonight at 7 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium. “We’re really excited to get started on Friday,” Duke head yg coach Robbie said.

We’re ready to S et out there and compete, and I think we’ve gotten a lot of respect around the country and we want to show the country that it’s justified.” The Blue Devils, who earned their highest preseason ranking of Church’s five-year tenure, split their two exhibition games last week—beating UNCWilmington, 5-3, Aug. 18 and then being shutout by South Carolina, 2-0, Aug. 20. The team has been implementing a new formation throughout theirpreseason workouts. Duke played a 4-4-2 setup for all of last season, but is switching to a 4-3-3 this season. Senior captain Carolyn Ford said although the transition is going smoothly, it takes time to adjust. “It takes a couple games to understand everything and figure out where exactly people are supposed to go on transition or where we’re going to get our goals from,” Ford said. “It takes a little while to do that but I think we’re doing well.” Duke’s progress has been slowed slightly by injuries that have hit the team. Sophomore Lorraine Quinn, who started all 23 matches as a freshman, will sit out the entire season with an in-

sportsbriefs Blaum ousted in 2nd Round at Amateurs Senior Ryan Blaum lost his second round match Thursday at the 105th U.S. Amateur. New Mexico’s Jay Choi defeated Blaum 4 and 3 at the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa. Blaum trailed Choi by two holes at the turn, and recorded a birdie on the 10th bringing the deficit to just one hole. Choi won three of the next four holes, however, to advance to Thursdays’ afternoon action. Choi eventually fell in the round of 16. Blaum, a Coral Gables, Fla., native, had won his first round match 1-up against Tanner Ervin and had fired a 144 in stroke play to qualify for the match play portion of the tournament. Freshmen fare well at Women’s Amateurs Freshman Jennie Lee lost 6 and 5 to Morgan Pressel in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Aug. 5. Pressel birdied eight of the first 13 holes on the way to her victory. Pressel, a rising high school senior who had originally committed to play for Duke before deciding to turn professional, won the event. Amanda Blumenherst, the Blue Devils’ other freshman, lost her second round match to Alison Whitaker in 19 holes. Neither Senior Liz Janangelo or Junior Anna Grzebien qualified for the match play portion of the 2005 U.S. Amateur

floor. And this wasn’t against powderpuff competition; the camp included veteran NBA players Kyle Korver and Andre Iguodala, as well as second-round draft pick Louis Williams. Randolph showed during the camp that he can step behind the three-point line and hit the long-range shot, but he has yet to develop the consistency that his new coaches desire. “Once he gets that little 15, 16-foot jump shot, he can be an effective player,” 76ers head coach Maurice Cheeks said. “I think people discredit his toughness. As he plays a little bit more, the toughness will come out, the ball skills will come out and his jump shot—he has to work on getting that jump shot down.” Since leaving Duke, Randolph has aimed to regain the form that led him to be ranked as the No. 1 player in his recruiting class during his junior season in high school. At Duke, Randolph was often asked to play out of position on the low block, and to do that he put on weight and lost flexibility. During the summer, he worked to regain his offensive explosiveness without losing the power. “Shavlik is a little bit stronger than people think,” Cheeks said. “He can rebound the ball in traffic. Offensively, he can put the ball down on the floor.” Randolph is believed to have re-

Randolph has told newspapers recently that Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski has been working on his behalf behind the scenes. He also said in June that he was looking forward to seeing his former teammates.

Women’s Schedule: The ACC released the women’s basketball schedule Aug. 25. The Blue Devils’ schedule is ambitious, including road games at powerhouse programs like Texas, Penn State and Old Dominion. In addition, Duke will take on Tennessee at Cameron Indoor Stadium—and that’s just the out-of-conference schedule. The teams within the ACC have the potential to be as strong as last year, when seven teams qualified for the NCAA Tournament. Most of the teams were young a year ago and few of the league’s stars graduated. Much of the focus will be on the North Carolina home game on Jan. 29, as Duke hopes to end its 3-game losing streak to the Tar Heels.

NCAA from page 20 “The time has come

move this tournament to a new

level,” Sexton said. “By putting the formidable expertise, commitment, assets and knowledge of the NCAA behind

this tournament, what we’ve done is to take a New York icon and given it a chance to be something even better.” The purchase and settlement ends a lawsuit which was brought against the NCAA in 2001, but did not go to trial until August 1 of this year. The NlT’s case focused primarily on a NCAA bylaw that required teams to accept their invitation to the NCAA postseason tournament or not participate in postseason play. Lawyers for the NIT argued that this rule was a deliberate attempt by the NCAA to devastate the tournament which had at one time been the preeminent postseason invitational. Most of the trial proceedings had taken place by the time the agreement was reached, including testimony from head coaches Bobby Knight ofTexas Tech and John Calipari of Memphis in support of the NIT. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski was slated to appear as a witness for the NCAA had the trial continued. By reaching a settlement, the NCAA was able to keep its requirement that teams attend its tournament if invited, eliminating the possibility of college basketball’s postseason scenario turning into that of college football. Some observers had feared that if the rule was overturned, competing postseason tournaments would result in multiple teams claiming to be the national

champions.

With the NCAA gaining control and the MIBA gaining wealth, the setdement was mutually viewed as a win-win situation. Both pardes were complimentary of the other and excited by the agreement, despite the sometimes bitter tone in the courtroom. “It’s a great day for basketball, college basketball, New York basketball but most ofall it is a great day for higher educadon,” Sexton said.

safety and security, who will be in charge of the police department, contract staff and address campus security challenges, is still vacant. Even as this jobs is filled, the next step is to communicate these changes to the community at large so we know who to call when we need help and who the men and women in uniform patrolling the campus are. Allied will perform the same functions that Securitas did, so for this next firm’s success—and for the successful reimagination of Duke security—this communication will be absolutely essential.

Furthermore, maintaining a strong physical presence on campus is still only half of Campus Safety’s mission. The purpose of separating these functions from DUPD was to clarify who was responsible for the facilities, but those concerns are parallel, not secondary, to the need for se-

One ofAllied’s strengths, DUPD officials said, is that it places a strong emphasis on training, and we hope that this translates into a greater air of authority for the security officers. The problem students had with Securitas was one of perceptions and public relations. Students complained that it did not seem like the Securitas officers were effective on the job, so even though actual crime was not an issue—and the presence of those officers likely deterred wouldbe offenders—the campus safety climate still left much to be desired.

Gaining face at Duke

It’s

only the first day of school, and already I’m way behind. It’s not like I’ve been slacking off. I went to all the student send-off parties and I pre-registered for all my classes. I read The Kite Runner. But I feel as if I’ve missed something, as if I haven’t been able to capitalize on the opportunities offered to me. I suspect this has something to do with facebook.com. To say that I agonized for hours before crafting my profile is a misstatemerit. In reality, I agonized for hours after crafting my profile. I stared at the page for upwards of an hour, wondering what I needed to tweak. Was there anything that tager would scare people off? Was there someguest commentary th:.mg I f'orgot>t to a^ \dd? Should I have been more formal, or more flippant? Other profiles didn’t answer these questions for me. They were all different, in both style and substance; I figured I was the only one who obsessed over such details. As a freshman, I am in that first stage of a relationship with facebook. I keep on discovering new and amazing things about it every day. Hey, it lets you look up people with your same interests! Wow, it reminds you of other people’s birthdays! But one thing facebook won’t automatically do for you is get you friends. Currently, I have 41 facebook friends at Duke, which at one point, I felt was quite respectable. That was before I started observing that others had more friends than I had. Way more. I am, it seems, much farther behind in this friend-making race than I had previously

thought. I’ve learned that it’s not unusual for ’o9ers to have 100 or more friends and for upperclassmen to have far more. I realized this after doing some quick calculations. The average number of friends my own friends have is 151. This means I myself am in the lowest 10th percentile, a fact that I (competitive? me?) dearly lament. I have one friend who has 767 facebook friends, which I was willing to accept before I realized she arrived on campus the same time I did. This girl supposedly knows almost half of East Campus. All of this brings up the question of the purpose and meaning of a friend. If someone “friends” you on facebook, and you haven’t met him or her before, how does he or she qualify as a friend? I’ve always wondered if this person is even an acquaintance at that point. If you introduce someone as your “facebook friend,” what are you saying? Would you put your life in their hands, or would you hesitate to give them $5 for lunch? And how about those with hundreds of facebook friends? I wonder if they even know all their friends by name, or even by sight. And yet, despite the semantics and the social complexity, I am envious of their situation. It seems to me that there are three facebook approaches. One is to go on the offensive, to cast your line for friends and see who bites. On the other hand, one can use a profile as a resume and wait passively for friends to emerge. The third approach, the middle ground, mirrors that of a turtle, reaching out to snap up the odd friend or two but more or less remaining content inside a comfortable facebook shell. I’ve tried the passive approach, but it would appear that this isn’t the “big numbers” method. Maybe I’m too much of an introvert to find myself hundreds of friends. Or maybe I’m looking at this all wrong. Coming straight from high school, I’m used to quantifying things. Everyone was compared to everyone else byway of AP scores, SAT scores and ACT scores. The higher the number, the more impressive you were. Perhaps the big numbers are no longer that important. Instead of quantity, quality may be the prevailing factor. But then again, I’m just a freshman. What do I know? I’d be more than happy to receive opinions on the subject. After all, you can easily contact me. On facebook.
