During a weekend that boasted the debut of the Nasher Museum ofArt and Homecoming festivities, the Board of Trustees got down to business at its first meeting of the academic year. The Board heard a presentation on Duke’s upcoming financial aid campaign, which administrators hope will boost Duke’s aid endowment by between $350 and $450 million. “I think the Board’s head is moving in one direction, and that’s exciting,” Board Chair Robert Steel said of the trustees’ support of the campaign. John Bumess, vice president for public affairs and government relations, said the full campaign is set to kick off in December, but he notedthe University is planning to announce a major gift soon. Administrators also presented an update on the overhaul of Central Campus—a project that will involve destroying the current facilities and rebuilding them to include a mix of residential, social and academic spaces.

newsinbrief Insurgents killed near Syria

Video shows suspected Bali bomber by

Chris Brummitt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALI, Indonesia Police raised the alert level for Indonesia’s capital and the president warned of more attacks Sunday as a chilling video shot the day before showed a suspected bomber clutching a backpack and strolling past diners moments before one of three suicide bombings killed 26 people on Bali. The near-simultaneous bombings on the resort island also injured 101 people, including six Americans. The attacks apparendy were planned by Southeast Asia’s two most-wanted men, who are believed to be connected to an al Qaeda-

linked group, said Maj. Gen. Ansyaad Mbai, a top Indonesian anti-terror official. The alleged masterminds were believed to be Azahari bin Husin and Noordin Mohamed Top, both Malaysians who fled to Indonesia after a crackdown on militants following the Sept. 11 attacks, officials said. The masterminds were not among the suspected bombers, whose remains were found at the scenes, officials said. All three bombers were believed to be wearing belts of explosives, police said. “All that is left is their head and feet,” Mbai said. “By the evidence we can conclude the bombers were carrying the explosives around their waists.”

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono warned that terrorists could be planning more strikes in the world’s most populous Muslim nation as Jakarta’s police chief put the capital on top alert, with two-thirds of its police force on standby. “The terrorists are still looking for soft targets,” Yudhoyono said at a news conference after viewing the devastation. Western and Indonesian intelligence agencies have warned repeatedly that Jemaah Islamiyah was plotting more attacks despite a string of arrests. Last month, Yudhoyono said the extremist network might strike Jakarta during September or October.

Tour boat overturns, at least 21 die by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. A glass-enclosed boat carrying tourists on a senior citizens’ cruise overturned Sunday on a calm lake in upstate New York, killing at least 21 people and sending more than two dozen cold and wet passengers to a hospital. Authorities were investigating whether a large passing tour boat created a wake that caused the accident, Warren County Sheriff Larry Cleveland said. The 40-foot Ethan Allen capsized around 3 p.m. on Lake George about 50 miles north of Albany in the Adirondack Mountains.

The accident apparendy happened so fast that none of the passengers was able to put on a lifejacket, Cleveland said. Patrol boats that reached the scene within minutes found other boaters already pulling people from the water. All passengers had been accounted for within two hours. Twenty-seven people were taken to a hospital in nearby Glens Falls. Some suffered broken ribs and some complaining of shortness of breath. Five people were to be admitted, hospital spokesperson Jason White said. Police investigators were at the hospital late Sunday.

Dorothy Warren, a resident who said she brought blankets and chairs to shore for

survivors, said one passenger told her “she saw a big boat coming close and she said, ‘Whoop-dee-doo. I love a rocking boat.’” Warren said the woman did not know how she got out of the water but said her mother was killed. Many of the bodies were laid out along the shore, and the site was blocked off by police with tarps. A hearse, police vehicles and several sport utility vehicles later began taking the dead from the scene. At the time of the accident, the weather was clear and in the 70s at Lake George.

U.S. troops battled insurgents holed up in houses and driving explosives-laden vehicles in a second town near the Syrian border Sunday, killing 28 in an expansion of their two-day-old offensive chasing al Qaeda fighters along the Euphrates River.

RALEIGH As many Blue Devils slept off the previous night’s revelry or chugged beers at tailgate Saturday morning, one Duke student prepared to share the limelight with Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. Sophomore Chelsea He joined 14 other students from across the country this weekend to compete for $lOO,OOO at the national Jeopardy! 2005 College Championship at the RBC Center in Raleigh. “It’s just weird to think that last year I was watching this from home,” she said as she prepared to take the stage. Earlier this year, the game show’s Clue Crew traveled the country searching for students with vast knowledge, quick recall and great personality in front of the camera.

Students hailed from schools across the country, ranging from Princeton University in New Jersey to Gonzaga University in Washington. North Carolina was the best-represented state, with students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and North Carolina Central University, in addition to Duke. “It would be nice if someone from the area won,” Trebek said. Putting traditional rivalries aside for the weekend, the students became fast friends as they underwent game show training and memorized last-minute facts together. “I don’t think the basketball rivalry really translates here,” said UNC sophomore Christopher Chilton. “I’m not thinking of beating anyone.

Though no decision has been made, Lange said an architect will be hired in the next few months; he stressed that the University has yet to select a project design. President Richard Brodhead gave a general report to the Board Friday, touching on issues from HIV research at the Duke University Medical Center to charitable works undertaken by the campus community. “Since coming to Duke, I’ve spent more time than ever thinking about universities as problem-solvers,” he said. He commended Duke’s outreach in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, citing the acceptance of displaced students and faculty from Gulf Coast schools. He noted that the University will not offer the displaced students long-term enrollment because it would necessitate a full transfer admissions process and unduly diminish the damaged schools’ populations. “The last thing these universities need is attractive places taking students,” he explained. In a brief report, Graduate and Professional Student Council President Bill LeFew, a fourth-year applied mathematics doctoral student, said the University has done littie to enhance graduate and professional student life. “As I look at your professions and get to know you more and more, I can’t imagine you being satisfied with where we are,” LeFew said to the Board. Steel said although creating ways for graduate students to “plug into the community” is complicated, the Board will address their concerns. “We, as the administration and trustees, will do better reacting to specific ideas,” he said.

Perry added that the tradition of blessing animals is strong among not only followers of St. Francis but also among Nadve Americans. Martha Zeman brought her dog Skippy and her parrot, which calmly sat on her shoulder during the entire service. “It’s good to have something like this. I think animals are very necessary in this life. They make people laugh,” Zeman said. “They make me laugh.”

In other business: The Board gave final approval to change the name of Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures to the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies. It also approved renovating utilities systems in three buildings—Gerontology, Diagnostic and Treatment and Clinical Research Building I—as well as running a chilled water line to the Medical Science Research Building II and Global Health Research Building, which are both under construction. Total renovations to the buildings are not to exceed $9 million.

Churchgoers weren’t the only ones milling around the Chapel Quadrangle Sunday—it was filled with animals from dogs to hedgehogs for the annual Blessing of the Animals. The service is held every year on the Sunday closest to Oct. 4, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, who is the patron saint of animals famed for driving the snakes out of Ireland. Lasting around 45 minutes, the ceremony focused on recognizing the blessings animals bring to their owners. Passersby making their way around campus looked on curiously as dogs, cats, iguanas, hamsters, parrots, rats and members of other species sat with their owners on the quad. “I want to suggest to you that where we are and where we’re going is not so differentfrom the rest of creation,” said Kerri Hefner, associate pastor for the First Presbyterian Church in Greenville, N.C., who gave a reflective sermon about the things animals can teach humans. Following this, the congregation prayed for animals and participated in a “Time of Sharing,” in which animal owners brought their pets to the altar and introduced them to the crowd. Members of animal organizations such as Students for the Protection ofAnimals and Safe Haven for Cats attended the service as well. Stop Animal Exploitation Now of North Carolina circulated a petition during the service to stop research using rats at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Though the warm breeze and clear sky gave the event a peaceful atmosphere, tension abounded among the numerous animals in close quarters. Dogs growled at each other, cats howled at passing dogs and an iguana fidgeted nervously in its owner’s lap. A few short bursts of barking broke out at different times during the service. “Please consider the wisdom of bringing aggressive animals,” read the Chapel website about the event. Despite the potential for more dramatic disturbances among animals; the service Sunday ran smoothly. “I’ve been to services in Florida, New Mexico and Ari-

She later told the police that the man was wearing a red shirt. DUPD has subsequently tried to come up with a composite sketch of the intruder, but so far the department has not published any further description. Minai recommended that students remain diligent about reporting any suspicious activity they witness. “We want to make sure that if they see anything suspicious, or anyone who doesn’t seem to belong, to immediately call the police department and not to secondguess their feeling,” she said. In light of these events and ongoing concerns, DUPD has increased patrols on Central Campus in the hopes that an in-

creased presence will deter criminals. Allied Security, the private security company contracted by Duke, also has had a visible presence on Central Campus, Baliga said. “But I’m definitely locking my door every day,” he added. Despite the recent break-ins many students have said they do not feel any less secure than they did before. “I feel like there could be more security, but for the most part I feel safe,” said Gayatri Acharya, a junior who lives on Central. DUPD has sent e-mails to Residence Life and Housing Services and residence coordinators detailing what measures they can take to prevent break-ins. Students on Central also received an e-mail telling them to lock their doors, report suspicious activity and keep outdoor lights on. All students received an e-mail from Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta Sunday night describing the situation and encouraging them take safety precautions on campus.

Midshipmen ground attack sinks Blue Devils by

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

Down by seven with four seconds left on the clock, Duke had one shot at the end zone from the 24-yard line to tie the game. Junior quarterback Mike Schneider, playing in just his second series of the game, threw a pass intended for receiver Deon Adams. The ball was underthrown and easily batted away by Navy’s David Mahoney to seal the Midshipmen’s 28-21 victory. “This was a gut-wrencher,” head coach Ted Roof said. “These kids were really resilient. I thought we played extremely hard.” The Blue Devils (1-4) had erased an 11point fourth quarter deficit and tied the game at 21 with 3:20 remaining. Navy (1-2) began the next drive on their own 33~yard line and on the first play of the series, Midshipmen quarterback Lamar Owens ran for a 52-yard gain that moved the ball all the way to Duke’s 15-yard line. Four plays later, Owens carried the ball into the end zone for a two-yard touchdown, leaving the Blue Devils down seven with only 1:18 on the clock. “The quarterback broke and we were in position to make the play, we just didn’t” Roof said. “That was the difference in the ball game, among other plays.” Duke began its failed final-minute drive from its own 35-yard line, and Roof decided to play the more experienced Schneider over true freshman Zack Asack, who had started and taken all but a few snaps up to that point in the game. “Mike has executed in the two-minute situation many more times and is a lot more comfortable in that mode, so we made the decision to go with Mike,” Roof said. “I thought he executed and worked the clock well, he gave us a chance to tie it on the last play of the game. We didn’t get it done, but at lest we had a chance there on the last play.” Schneider’s only other playing time came at the end of the third quarter after the Duke defense forced a fumble at Navy’s 15-yard line, giving Duke a chance to cut into Navy’s 21-10 lead. After the Blue Devils were called for holding on first down, Schneider entered the game and moved the ball just two yards over the next three plays to set up a 40-yard Joe Surgan field goal in the first minute of the final quarter. After holding Navy to a three-and-out, the Blue Devils got the ball back trailing by eight with less than twelve minutes to play. Asack marched the Blue Devils 66 yards down the field and capped the drive with a six-yard touchdown run on third down. Needing a two-point conversion to knot the score at 21, Asack lobbed a pass into the right comer of the end zone that was pulled in by 6-foot-3 wide receiver Eron Riley.

CARY, N.C. In its second straight game against a top-11 opponent, the ninth-ranked Duke women’s soccer team suffered the same result, a 1-0 loss at No. 8 Boston College Friday.

Coupled with DUKE Duke’s 1-0 loss N.CSTATE 0 against No. 11 Virginia Sept. 25, Frishutout day’s DUKE marked the first time since 1998 BC 1 and the first time in head coach Robbie Church’s five-year tenure—that the team was held scoreless in consecutive games. Boston College (8-1-1, 2-1 in the ACC) came out aggressively and created«several scoring opportunities within the first few minutes, including a Caidin Hill shot that sailed just wide of the goal. The Eagles continued to attack, sending six shots toward goalkeeper Allison Lipsher, two of which were on goal, in the first half alone. But at halftime, the game was still scoreless as both teams had missed on a number of opportunities. Duke (8-2-1, 2-2-0) had the same fortune in the second half, finishing the game with 12 shots. “I think we’ve been really unlucky,” midfielder Darby Kroyer said. “[The ball has been] deflecting offof people, hitting the post and things like that.

Duke could not convert the rest of the game, as Boston College goalkeeper Arianna Criscione recorded five saves. “We worked so hard and were so aggressive but our touches were just offall around the field,” defender Kate Seibert said. The Blue Devils had very little time to dwell on the loss as they returned to North Carolina to play N.C. State (5-6,1-2) Sunday. “That was the most brutal trip I’ve ever seen, especially when North Carolina State hasn’t played in a week,” Church said. “We showed heart and we showed character and that will carry us a long way.” Within the first four minutes of the game, Duke had erased all thoughts of a third consecutive shutout. Kroyer fired a pass downfield to Seibert, who found herself alone in a faceoff with Wolfpack goalie Kim Selz. The senior tri-captain launched a shot from ten yards out into the right corner of the net, for her second goal of the season and 11th of her career. “Darby played an awesome ball in so it was a pretty simple finish,” Seibert said. “I just tried to stay calm because I have been having a little trouble getting my finishing back. So it was nice to get an easy one.” Duke never let up in the game, maintaining control of the ball and peppering the Wolfpack goalie with 16 shots. N.C. State’s best scoring opportunity came with just under eight minutes remaining in the first half as Kasie Shover sent a header that sailed just above the crossbar. The Wolfpack only registered six shots throughout the game. “For us to bounce back after two disappointing, one-goal losses against top-ten teams is absolutely unbelievableand I’m just very very proud of the girls,” Church said.

Against Boston College (4-3-1, 0-2-1), however, Duke had tallied two goals by the 22nd minute and secured the shutout with tight defense all the way through. The Blue Devils jumped in front early with a goal by forward Spencer Wadsworth in the 12 th minute. Wadsworth beat Boston College goalkeeper Issey Mahalo with a hard shot to the upper right-hand corner of the net from 15 yards out. Defender Kyle Helton the goal, picked up an assist on Wadsworth’s fourth of the year. The team did not wait to add to its advantage, scoring less than 10 minutes later. Freshman forward Mike Grella scored on a one-time shot off a pass from Wadsworth to give the Blue Devils a two-goal advan-

Midfielder Chris Loftus fired a hard shot on net and Mahalo made the save, but could not secure the rebound. Midfielder Danny Kramer picked up the loose ball and kicked it into the net to give the Blue Devils their final score of the evening. “It’s more of putting the game away when we have the chance to, instead of letting the teams hang around,” Wadsworth said. “Both those games [against Wake Forest and Virginia Tech] we had opportunities early and we didn’t finish them, and the games we finish them we had control of the game for the most part.” The Eagles managed only three shots on goal in comparison to Duke’s fifteen. Duke goalkeeper Justin Papadakis earned his second shutout of the year and .the third of his career with three saves. “Throughout the year we’ve had a team defense mentality,” Papadakis said. “All of the goals that have been scored, we’ve learned something from them.... The only bad goal is something you don’t learn from.” After the game, several Blue Devils said both the offense and defense units played well as a team. “We’re scoring goals in the league, which is hard to do,” Rennie said. “And we’re getting them from a lot of different players.... Everything is going well right now, we just have to keep getting better and better.”

HOWARD

CHEN/THE CHRONICLE

Navy piled up rushing yards against Duke's defense, finishing with 364yards on the ground.

Despite giving up more than 30 points per game coming into Saturday’s matchup against Navy, Duke’s defense has received little criticism this season. Much of the fault has been placed on the Blue Devils’ offense for its ineffectiveness and the turnovers that have given opponents excellent starting field position. The defense is blameless no longer. Navy used a one-dimensional offense —the Midshipmen only threw the ball twice in the second half Saturday—to run, literally, over the Blue Devils defense. Navy racked up 326 yards game rushing, averaging a mindanalysis blowing 9.3 yards per carry. Although Duke’s offense was not spectacular, the Blue Devils moved the ball consistently and, for the most part, avoided the costly turnovers that riddled the first three losses of the season. The defense, however, surrendered far too many big plays—or as head coach Ted Roof referred to them: X plays—to hold off the previously winless Midshipmen. Each of Navy’s four touchdown drives included a play of more than 30 yards. “I’m very disappointed,” Roof said. “We gave Up too many X plays, and you’re not going to win like that.” The first big play came on the final snap of the opening quarter. In an obvious miscommunication by the defense, Navy wide receiver Tyree Barnes ran a post through the middle of the field and was left more than wide open—no Duke defender was within 10 yards of the freshman. The resulting 33-yard pass tied the game at seven. Then for the second straight week, the defense allowed big second-half plays to break open a previously close game. Navy turned a three-point deficit into an 11-point lead in just under five minutes thanks to runs of 52 and 47 yards, both of which included numerous missed tackles by the Blue Devils. The most costly X play of the game, however, came after Duke tied the game at 21 with 3:20 remaining. The Midshipmen started their drive from their own 33-yard line, and it seemed Navy would be forced to pass for the first time in the quarter. But on the first play of the drive, quarterback Lamar Owens proved otherwise, cutting back on a simple option keeper and breaking off a 52-yard run to put Navy in goal position. “We just have to tackle the guy,” Roof said. Roof preached all week the importance of staying in position and emphasized solid individual taclding. The Blue Devils struggled with both crucial elements, as they often over pursued the option and were not able to wrap up Owens, who finished with 119 yards rushing. “I think it was a lot of little mental lapses,” junior safety John Talley said. “A couple of times we over pursued and they just found the crease and cut back.” Unlike previous games, the second-half defensive letdowns were not a result of fatigue, as Duke held a near two-to-one time of possession advantage. The Blue Devils have struggled all year maintaining long drives, but Asack led the offense on two lengthy drives that each ran more than eight minutes off the clock. “Our offense did a good job of staying on the field,” Roof said. “I think some of it was the scrambling—the quarterbacks did a good job with it—and some of it was we weren’t in so many third-and-longs.” With Duke’s offense still establishing its identity, the defense has to eliminate its second-half letdowns and put together a dominant performance for an entire game if the Blue Devils expect to win another game this season.

FOOTBALL from page 1 catch was the freshman’s first ofhis collegiate career. “We had two great receivers on both sides and I went to Eron who can jump like the devil,” Asack said. “I wanted to get it to the corner of the end zone so he could make the play.” The second half opened with Duke and Navy locked in a 7-7 tie, and remained that way until Surgan hit a 43-yard kick for his first career field goal as a Blue Devil. The Duke defense, which had held the Midshipmen’s potent offense in check all day, then collapsed. In its second offensive series, Navy converted a third-and-ninefrom its own 16-yard line. Three plays later, running back Reggie Campbell ran the ball 52 yards to the Duke nine-yard line to set up a touchdown. The Blue Devils were pinned at their 13-yard line to start their following drive. Asack made one ofhis few mistakes on the day when he was called for intentional grounding on third down, giving Navy excellent field position after Duke punted from its own end zone. Needing a defensive stand to keep Navy from extending its 14-10 lead, Duke allowed a 47-yard touchdown run to fullback Matt Hall on Navy’s first play of the drive. “Any time in football, you cannot give up the X plays, they-kill you,” Roof said referring to Navy’s six plays of 30 yards or more. ‘You’re not going to win giving up four or five of them in a game.”

However, cornerback John Talley read third-down pass perfectly, intercepting the ball an returning it to Duke’s 38-yard line. “It is a certain read we have to make and we rolld to a cover two,” Talley said. “I got a good break an ended up catching it and went down the sidelines.” Duke notched the game’s first score on the en: possession when tailback Justin Boyle rushed the the right side for a three-yard touchdown. Navy ti score at seven on its following drive with a 33-yard down pass as time expired in the first quarter. Asack finished the game 12-for-16 for 111 yards and 58 yards on the ground.

Blue Devils finish Bth, Duke sweeps top spots top trio of ACC foes at Hagan Stone Classic by

David McMullen

THE CHRONICLE

The Duke men’s cross country team placed eighth out of 25 teams and finished ahead of two ranked squads in the 50th Annual Notre Dame Invitational Friday. Seventh-ranked Arizona placed first and No. 6 Notre Dame took second in the race, which featured seven teams ranked in the top 30. “With [the race being] the first time this season facing teams of such a high caliber, this was basically a test to see how good we were,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. It was the first race for the men’s cross country A team since their second place finish at the Lou Onesty Invitational Sept. 10, and Ogilvie described his team’s performance as “pretty good.” The Blue Devils beat two nationally ranked teams, No. 26 Colorado State which finished tenth and No. 30 Butler, which placed 15th. Junior Keith Krieger crossed the finish line in 30th with a time of 24:30 in the 8K race to lead the Blue Devils. Most of the runners went out fast, Krieger said, but he passed many of his opponents and finished 1:09 behind the winner. The rest of the Blue Devils’ scoring

The middle-distance runners on the women’s cross country team dominated, taking five of the top six spots and scoring 18 points to win the Hagan Stone Cross Country Classic Saturday in Greensboro, NC. Freshmen Anna Farias-Eisner and Molly Lehman secured first and second place finishes in the 5K race with times of 18:45.5 and 18:55.7, respectively. Duke also turned in third, fourth and sixth place times when freshman Jessica Davlin, junior Lindsay Owen and freshman Patricia Loughlin all crossed the finish line less than a minute behind Farias-Eisner. Duke’s performance put the Blue Devils ahead of second place Queens University of Charlotte, by a significant 53 points. The meet marked the second invitational for the Blue Devils’ B team, which had run itself to a third-place finish at the Raleigh Invitational Sept. 17. “We looked very good,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “Compared to the first mest, this was a much stronger outing for them. They’re really progressing.” On what Jermyn described as a

tougher course than that of the Raleigh Invitational, Owen and Loughlin each dropped more than 30 seconds from their 5K times.

Although only the middle distance runners officially competed in the race, Duke distance runners Tiare Ferguson and Amanda Patterson participated unattached and were the only two competitors to finish ahead of their scoring teammates.

Unofficially, Ferguson placed first with a 18:10.04 time and Patterson placed second at18;15.5. The race was the first of the season for both Ferguson and Patterson, who have suffered from minor injuries this year. “It was a good confidence booster for the middle distance runners,” Jermyn said. “For the distance, it was a lower level meet to gain experience.” Jermyn said he will decide if Ferguson and Patterson will compete for the Blue Devils in the Oct. 31 ACC Championship as the meet draws nearer and they continue to train with the topranked A team. The pair will travel with the rest of Duke’s distance runners to Pennsylvania State College to run in the Penn State Invitational Oct. 15.

But Duke would not be so easily rattled. A kill by outside hitter Tealle Hunkus, an error by the Wolfpack, a kill by setter Ali Hausfeld and a final kill by Norman on game point gave the Blue Devils the first game, 30-26. From that point, Duke (9-3, 31 in the ACC) would not look back, winning the next two games, 30-17 and 30-26, to sweep the Wolfpack, 3-0. Friday’s win was the Blue Devils’ third-consecutive ACC victory and the program’s ninth-straight win over N.C.

Both players teamed up in doubles play to face Texas Christian’s Andrea Morgado and Gloriann Lopez, but lost a 9-7 battle.

Duke scored 20 of the next 31 points to take the game going away. Duke started the third game with all three of the freshmen on the roster in the lineup. The game was close throughout, and neither team took a lead larger than four points. N.C. State tied the game at 24 with a kill by Casey Wyatt. The Blue Devils took the next four points to seize control of the game and won 30-26. Hausfeld posted 47 assists to pace Duke and surpass the 2,000-assist mark for her career. Libero Jenny Shull picked up 27 digs to lead the team. Hunkus had a teamhigh 17 kills. Norman’s eight blocks were also the most on the team. For the match, 10 different players started a game, and only Hausfeld, Hunkus, Norman and Shull started all three games. Fourteen of the 15 players on the Blue Devil roster saw playing time in the match. “I felt a lot of people took advantage of the opportunity when they got a chance to play tonight,” Nagel said. “I didn’t feel like we skipped a beat at all, and I was really pleased with everyone’s performance.”

And on the back wall, the Nasher women—Patsy Nasher and daughters Andrea, Joanie and Nancy—hang immortalized in four prints by Andy Warhol in his distinctive pop art style. But the artwork displayed barely scratches the surface. The museum houses over 13,000 pieces of art, most of which are currendy in storage below the main floor. And though these works will not be extracted for public viewing for a while, students working at Nasher have seen the museum’s off-limits underbelly already. “There is a room full of statues and just rooms and rooms of paintings—they all slide out electronically,” said Kathryn Minshew, a sophomore and student security guard. Student opportunities to work and play within Nasher are part of attempts to be—and stay both educational and accessible. “It’s amazing, getting to be an insider. I feel kind of important, being responsible for several million dollars worth of art,” Min—

And although most performances were given by student groups, the day itself was geared toward the greater Durham community—in particular, to children. “The beast! I just love that beast,” six year-old Leland Hargette said excitedly, pointing to a huge dragon puppet —the sleeper hit of the opening festivities. It flapped and bobbed its head at the urging of five performance artists a la a Chinese New Year float. Several small activity tables were also placed around the museum for kids. Children fashioned Calder-like mobiles out of pipecleaners and foam cut-outs or made pre-Colombian-style masks. The party favors and the scheduled entertainment were also free of charge—hinting that at least on Day One, education in the arts cannot be priced. out

football team, but perhaps not quite as good as the basketball team.” The performance, which drew several hundred people, was the first in this year’s Major Speakers series sponsored by the Duke University Union and part of the weekend’s lineup of Homecoming events. A book signing followed the speech. Throughout the past year, Rocca has made stops at a number of college campuses. The quirky comedian said it is crucial to speak to college students—for both comedic and serious purposes. “I think it’s important to go to college campuses for a number of reasons, because, as Whitney Houston said, ‘the children are our future,’ though Kermit said it first in the first Muppet movie,” Rocca said after the show. “And if you fly, you get frequent flyer miles.” On a more serious note, Rocca said he visits campuses because he enjoys the enthusiasm he finds in college students. ‘You can be aggressively curious and idealistic at the same time,” Rocca said. After stepping onto stage and striking a pose for photographers Saturday, Rocca said he was honored to speak at a prestigious school that was, first and foremost, one of the settings for Dawson’s Creek.

Duke decades apart. “For me, it’s getting a chance to see people I know come back,” said Peter Coyle, Trinity ‘72 and former DUU president. Perhaps the only downside of the reception, some attendees said, was that more Union alumni were not present. “I’d love if all 800 former officers came, but it doesn’t happen,” Coyle said. “But it is a good turnout.” Coyle and Pratt, along with Jake Phelps, former director of the Union and the Bryan Center, were featured speakers. Each shared thoughts on the importance of the Union. “You know, 50 years ago there was very little in the ways of extracurricular activities on this campus,” Phelps said. “[Bill Griffith, founder of DUU] started “But Duke is a lot more than the backdrop of aJ. Crew catalog,” he added. “It is a powerhouse football school.” Rocca said he was concerned by what he saw as a disconnect between Duke and the larger North Carolina community. He attempted to educate his audience by telling them North Carolina’s state bird, state boat and state vegetable. Rocca then turned his attention to broader issues. He said he was depressed by the nature of American society today. He spoke about the disappointing state of the justice system, of the space program and of the magazine Us Weekly. “Another depressing reality is that America is very fat,” Rocca joked, pointing to recent Dove soap advertisements, which feature full-figured women. He proceeded to play what he called the “Blame Game.” Among those to be blamed for Hurricane Katrina, he said, were President George W. Bush, former President Bill Clinton, Napoleon and of course, beavers—“Where were the beavers?” After speaking about the state of current events, Rocca turned to a topic he described as very close to his heart: himself. The comedian said he started his career in Japan, where he studied Japanese theater, but he soon came to realize that he did not understand anything that was going on. He returned to the United

campaigning then to establish a university union that would give students an opportunity to express themselves through whatever interest they had, and every imaginable variety of experiences and all of the arts and services,” he explained. Although there was much reflection on the Union’s past, alumni also used the night to meet current Union leadership. Lynne White, Trinity ‘B4, who was Broadway at Duke Chair from 1983 to 1984, commended the organization. “I think it says a lot about the dedication of the staff here that they’ve kept this institution going and getting stronger for so many decades,” she said. Indeed, the collaboration of the Union staff was required to house events arranged over the course of three days. The anniversary activities took place largely at Union sites, from a showing ofBatman Begins in the Griffith Film Theater to

lunch at the Coffeehouse on East Campus. “I definitely put in a good three to four hours a day last semester, and it was the main focus of my summer,” said Rao, who has been planning the event since February. ‘You commit and you know it will be your main focus.” Despite the long hours, Union leaders said they were proud of the way the weekend turned out. “It certainly has been our focus point for over a year, this anniversary” Kallmeyer said. “It’s really shown that we put a lot of work into it. Though the 50th Anniversary celebration officially ended Sunday—completing nearly a year’s worth of work—DUU programming will remain, as always, active throughout the year. “We’re certainly going to enjoy looking on to other things,” Kallmeyer said. “And at the same time enjoying the 50th.”

Mo Rocca, who was a correspondent on The Daily Show, tested the pop culture knowledge of a Duke freshman.

States, where he produced the children’s television series Wishbone by day and worked at the soft-core pornography magazine Perfect 10 by night. During that

time, he also met rapper Flava Flav. “It was through stories like this, I suppose, that it was inevitable that I would become a fake reporter,” Rocca concluded. When they left Page Saturday night, audience members were happy with what they said was a quintessential Mo Rocca ex-

perience. “I love his style of humor, I think it’s hilarious,” junior Zachary Marshall said.

Jason Grimes, a graduate student in biomedical engineering, said he picked up a free ticket to the show at Oktoberfest Friday. “His humor was like the stuff he did on TV,” Grimes said. “It was funny—it was pretty good.” But for Rocca, it’s not about the fans. “It’s really all about me finding myself,” the comedian said in jest. “As opposed to seeing a therapist for $3OO an hour, I get paid to have a whole group, sometimes thousands of people, listen to my problems.”

The band Right On was one of several groups that performed at the Homecoming dance.

From grapes to wine—divine...

ontherecord Sunday afternoon.

Wine and beer flowed with minimal restrictions. Tables overflowed with food. And a stage offered an impressive display of student cultural and performance groups. Clubs that many students scarcely knew existed dazzled with dancing, singing and more. But perhaps the most remarkable parts of the dance were the presence of members of the Board of Trustees and students’ ability to act responsibly. Despite the free alcohol, students behaved well, and most seemed to drink in moderation. With the Trustees present, students demonstrated how well they can handle themselves while still having fun. All these events, in conjunction with multiple smaller-scale parties, achieved the same end: an enhanced and more cohesive community. Various departments of the school worked to create a montage of social life, and what they came up with was the best of Duke. Except for the absence of academics, it was an idyllic picture of what this University aspires to be. For the first time in years, Homecoming was a success.
