Chapel remembers hurricane victims DSG selects 10 at-large senators Ashley Dean THE CHRONICLE

Religious leaders from the University gathered for an interfaith prayer service that honored victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Thursday afternoon. “It is the water that brings us here together today,” said John Saxon, minister of the Duke Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, referring to the devastation caused by the storms. Craig Kocher, assistant dean of Duke Chapel and director ofreligious life, described the general theme of the service as one moving from pain to healing and hope. The service, held on the steps of the Chapel, included a reflection from Sam Wells, dean of Duke Chapel, and prayers from leaders of various religious groups on campus. Other speakers included two students who were directly affected by the hurricanes. Though the service was sparsely attended, the idea of an interfaith service was important to Kocher. “Disaster strikes people ofall faiths,” he said. Participants included Rabbi Michael Goldman from the Freeman Center for Jewish Life; Jenny Copeland, campus minister and director of the Wesley Fellowship; and Abdul Waheed, leader of the Muslim Students Association. “It is a statement of solidarity among people of different SEE

There will be some new faces in the crowd when Duke Student Government reconvenes after Fall Break. In addition to the eight freshmen elected last week, 10 at-large senators were appointed Tuesday by the DSG Executive Committee.

newsinbrief Several terror plots prevented

NYC tightens security after threats by Tom Hays THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Authorities stepped up NEW YORK security Thursday after receiving what city

officials called a credible threat that the New York subway could be the target of a terrorist attack in coming days. But Homeland Security officials in Washington downplayed the threat, saying it was of “doubtful credibility.” The threat involved the possibility terrorists would pack a baby stroller with explosives, among other potential subway bombing methods, a law enforcement official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

New York officials responded by mobilizing police officers to begin looking through commuters’ strollers, bags, brief cases and luggage.

“This is the first time we have had a threat with this level of specificity” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a nationally televised news conference alongside Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, adding that he still felt secure enough to take the subway home Thursday night. But in Washington, Homeland Security Department spokesperson Russ Knocke said “the intelligence community has concluded this information to be of doubtful credibility. We shared this information

early on with state and local authorities in New York.” Knocke did not elaborate. A counterterror official, who was briefed about the threat by Homeland Security authorities, said the intelligence was considered doubtful because it did not reflect “on-the-ground, detailed” information. Rather, the official, who also insisted on anonymity, said the intelligence was similar to “what can be found on the Internet and a map of NewYork City.” The law enforcement official in New York said that city officials had known about the threat at least since Monday, but held the information until two or three al Qaeda operatives were arrested in Iraq.

Rove agrees to testify for grand jury by

JOHN SOLOMON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Presidential confidant Karl Rove will testify for a fourth time before the federal grand Jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer’s identity even though prosecutors have warned they can no longer guarantee he will escape indictment, lawyers said Thursday. Rove’s offer was accepted by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the last week as the grand jury wraps up its work and decides whether Rove, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chiefofstaff I. Lewis Libby or any other presidential aides should face criminal charges.

Rove’s lawyer said Thursday that Fitzgerald has assured him that he has made no decisions yet on charges and that

his client has not received a so-called target letter, usually the last step before a grand jury indictment. “I can say categorically that Karl has not received a target letter from the special counsel,” attorney Robert Luskin said. “The special counsel has confirmed that he has not made any charging decisions in respect to Karl.” Luskin said that Rove “continues to be cooperative voluntarily” with the investigation but that he could not further discuss

his dealings with Fitzgerald’s office. However, several people directly familiar with the investigation told the Associated Press that Fitzgerald sent a letter accepting Rove’s offer to testify but warning that prosecutors could no longer guarantee the presidential aide wouldn’t be indicted. Rove offered in July to return to the grand jury, and Fitzgerald accepted that offer last Friday after taking grand jury testimony from the formerly jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller, the people said, speaking only on condition of anonymity because of grand jury secrecy.

THE CHRONICLE

A tour ofEast Campus’ newest addition sparked discussion at Campus Council’s Thursday night meeting. After visiting Bell Tower Dormitory, council members talked about potential renovations to living areas oil West, East and Central campuses. “We saw an amazing example of what our residence halls can be,” said junior Brittany Greenfield, facilities and services committee chair. “This is what all residence halls are capable of.” Residence Life and Housing Services plans to begin its renovations on Crowell Quadrangle in 2007. Craven Quadrangle is next on the list of living areas to be renovated, followed by Few Quadrangle, Gilbert-Addoms residence hall, Southgate residence hall and Edens Quadrangle. The process, which will take more than ten years to complete, will include installing central air conditioning and elevators in renovated dorms, said Greenfield. Campus Council members then turned their attention to problems in their residential areas —problems they would like to see addressed during future renovations. One issue raised was low ceilings in many dorms, which make rooms and study areas seem smaller. Tight hallways in residence halls that restrict students’ ability to socialize currently pose another problem, said Kilgo Quadrangle Representative Collin Walter, a junior. It will probably not be feasible to widen hallways in West Campus residential areas because the walls are incorporated into the infrastructure of the buildings, Greenfield responded. A number ofamenities in Bell Tower including tiled carpeting, bright florescent lights and commons room artwork would improve other living areas on campus, council members noted. “The first thing I noticed when I walked in here was the lighting,” said Central Campus Representative Shivum Agarwal, a senior. “The [exterior] lighting on Central is horrible, to the point that it’s —

Although Central is supposed to represent a transition from dormitory life to apartment life, the fumiture supplied for Central apartments does not support this transitioning process, she noted. “[Furniture in Bell Tower] looks a lot more like the furniture you’d buy as a human being,” Greenfield said. Communications Coordinator Brenna

of whom were selected as senators. Longoria attributed the high level of competition for at-large senator positions to DSG’s increased visibility and the accessibility of applications. The increased presence of DSG on campus was first seen at executive elections last year, when 51 percent of the student body went to the polls. “We’ve made it a point to get out there and make DSG a group that students look to when they need our support and also can, at the same time, produce projects for the students,” Longoria said. The process through which at-large senators were selected shows similarities to the contested process through which members of the Undergraduate Experience Task Force were selected—because at-large senators were selected, rather than elected. Although there was “some overlap” between the members on the two selection committees, Longoria said the latest application process was run by a different internal group of people and was very organized. Shannon Murphy, a senior who was appointed to the Athletics and Campus Services Committee, agreed that the process went smoothly. Murphy said she was excited to work on DSG initiatives, such as revamping freshman meal plan options, installing computers in the Bryan Center and adding bus routes to off-campus locations. The 10 students appointed were sophomores Keshia Williams, Kristin Pfeiffer and Lee Komfeld to the Student Activities Committee; freshman Pete Dickos, senior Kathleen Greene and Murphy to the Athletics and Campus Services Committee; junior Racine Harris and sophomore Jeffrey Vaughn to the Community Interaction Committee; senior Craig Bohn and sophomore Jeremy Marshall to the Academic Affairs Committee. Longoria hopes the new senators, most of whom have never been active in DSG, will offer a unique perspective on student issues. “They have to take on the role of maybe looking at tilings maybe on a bigger picture, while at the same time they’ll have some direct representation,” Longoria said.

There might be times when there’s a lot of traffic and people may grow impatient.” About 25 officers from DUPD, the DurhamPolice Department and the Durham County Sheriff s office will staff posts to help direct traffic.

Although most concerns center on preparations for the concert itself, Duke’s athletic staff is also anxious about the consequences following the big event. “I’m concerned about the track with all that heavy weight,” Athletic Director JoeAlieva said. “It may not be perfect, but the grass [on the field] will growback. But the track I’m really worried about, with the heavy cranes on it.” Football head coach Ted Roof agreed that there might be consequences with so many people and a concert stage on the field, but he said he expects any damage would be be handled accordingly. “I’m sure our University, and our athletic department, is going to do everything they can to keep [the field] intact and ensure the safety of our athletes when we come back home and play the next week,” he said. not

of each case, students or their lawyers may request the first-time offenders program or file motions to suppress evidence. “Some lawyers are doing that or working things out with the state to preserve students’ records,” said Fitzpatrick, who has represented several Duke students in the past. The first-time offenders program includes 50 hours of community service, which should generally be completed within 6-12 months, and expunges the offense from the individual’s permanent record, local lawyers said. If a motion to suppress evidence is granted, Fitzpatrick noted, the case will likely be dismissed. He also said cited individuals could plead not guilty and prove they did not commit the violations listed on the citation. Bryan said charges are often dismissed as a result of deferred prosecution or first-time offenders programs. In addition to criminal charges, some students are also facing possible punishment from the Office of Judicial Affairs for violating the University’s alcohol policy. “We will have [students who were cited] come in and meet with us to determine if there are any University violations at issue,” Bryan said.

Rennie said he has experienced this type of national hype in anticipation of a game before. “I think the first time we were on national TV was in 1980 when we played down at Clemson,” Rennie said. “There will be a lot of people watching, whether it be recruits, pro scouts or opposing teams.

Duke fought its way to a scoreless tie in Chapel Hill in 2002. This season has been business as usual for the Tar Heels, outscoring opponents 63-5 and posting victories over top-20 teams Florida State, Yale, Stanford and Virginia.

Of the few disappointments that the NCAA runner-Up field hockey squad experienced last season, Duke’s 3-2 loss to Maryland in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament was among its biggest letdowns.

We just need to concentrate on what we’ve done so far and go out and score tons of goals like we do every other game and have the mentality that we are the better team.” Duke carries its recent success into Saturday’s contest as the team enters the matchup on a four-game winning streak.

like we got good players, so I think the team that just performs on Saturday is going to be the team that wins.” Saturday’s game could also have implications for next months’ ACC Tournament as the addition ofBoston College has reduced the number of first-round byes from three to two. Duke and Maryland are currendy competing for one of the byes. “We remember last year that two of our losses did come from them and I’d rather that not happen this year,” Grant said.

A year ago the men’s golf team claimed the Duke Classic in record fashion, firing a four-under par total on its way to a 13-stroke victory over the field. The No. 7 Blue Devils are looking to replicate last year’s success when the tournament begins Sunday at the Duke Golf Club. Vying with Duke for tournament supremacy are six of the nation’s top 30 teams, including fifth-ranked Minnesota, 12th-ranked Notre Dame and last year’s tournament runner-up No. 21 North Carolina. “While we did well last year, we fail if we don’t win this tournament on Sunday,” senior Ryan Blaum said. “Second place doesn’t rest well with us.” At the Duke Classic last year, Blaum and teammate Michael QuSgliano lost in a four-way playoff to UNO’s Martin Ureta and finished in a tie for second place. Blaum, the nation’s 36th-ranked golfer, opened his season with an even-par 216 at the NCAA Fall Preview, Sept. 26-28. At that tournament, junior Jake Grodzinsky was the Blue Devils’ top golfer, finishing in ninth place at threeunder-par. His performance catapulted him to 16th in the national rankings. This weekend, the Blue Devils will enjoy the advantage of playing on their home course, but head coach Rod Myers said his team’s familiarity with the greens and course layout will not guarantee a Duke victory. “There’s no question the home course gives us an advantage,” Myers said. “At the same time the Washington SEE M.

This is not a local knowledge golf course.” Grodzinsky said he believes the home course advantage could also work against the Blue Devils, and that in order to emerge victorious, Duke must make a concerted team-effort and work hard for every shot. “It’s nice to play on our home course,” Grodzinsky said. “Knowledge can’t hurt you. On the other hand, you also see all the trouble at every hole, the good shots, and the potential bad shots. It helps, but the course advantage is overrated. If we’re going to win it’s going to have to be a team effort.” The Blue Devils got off to a good start to their season, placing fifth at the NCAA Fall Preview, which featured 12 of the top 15 teams from last year’s NCAA Championships. Although none of the teams in this weekend’s field played in that tournament, Duke is still expecting stiff competition. “As long as the guys bring their A game we’re good,” Myers said. “We need to avoid double bogeys and drive the ball well on the fairway. Otherwise, things will take care of themselves.”

Jomar Wright and Ronnie Elliot.

Ronnie Drummer, used mainly for a change of pace in the backfield in Duke’s first five games, will start at running back, with freshman Clifford Harris and fullback Malcolm Ruff also getting their share of carries. The Blue Devils will look to freshmen wide receivers Eron Riley, Ryan Wood and Raphael Chestnut to contribute in the passing game. “Somewhere down the road all this is going to pay off to create some more depth,” Roof said. ‘You can’t walk around and mope about [the injuries]. It’s just an unfortunate part of the game.”

M. SOCCER from page 5 LUCIE STONE/THE CHRONICLE

Sophomore goalie Justin Papadakis has two shutouts and a 1.29 goals-against average this year.

as Duke enters the game with a five-game unbeaten streak of its own. Loftus currently leads Duke with eight goals in the team’s nine games, an average which ranks fourth in the ACC, and the Blue Devils have not lost a game in which he scored. “[Those stats] don’t affect anything at all,” Loftus said. “I just want to go out and give all that I can and be a leader on the team.” Ranking ahead ofLoftus in goals per game in the ACC, is Maryland forward Jason Carey, who has already found the net 10 times this season. The senior scored 22 goals last year and is currently one of the favorites for the Hermann trophy, which is awarded to the best collegiate soccer player each year. The Blue Devils will also have to contend with the Terps’ aggressive style. “They’re very strong physically and they’re a very good possession team,” Rennie said. “They try to make you chase them and wear you down.”

The Blue Devils are hoping for a repeat performance oflast year's Duke Classic, which they won.

W. SOCCER from page 5 won 2-1 in double overtime. Church gave the team Monday and Tuesday off to focus on midterms and get some much-needed rest.

“We prepare for UNC differently anyways because they are such a rival,” midfielder Darby Kroyer said. “Having this week off, we have had a lot of time to prepare and focus on their players and how they play. It’s a mental thing.” Freshman Christie McDonald, who co-leads the team in scoring, is one of the few on a veteran Blue Devil squad who will be experiencing the UNC-Duke rivalry for the first time Sunday. “I’m really excited for it,” she said. “UNC-Duke is always a big rivalry, and UNC has such a prestigious girls’ soccer program. I’m really excited.

selves to good old Wallace Wade using the latest CIEMAS technology, After the alums were finished pregaming, they joined parents in the last lot of the Blue Zone. Never mind the fact that there was no football game, these 50- and 60-year olds had heard about Duke’s notorious tailgates and wanted to get in on the action. Plus, some guy named Anastasia was on stage and Rolling Stones would not start for another hour or so. Beatles and Eagles tunes could be heard blasting from the area and beer and other alcoholic beverages flowed like... uh, wine. Dean Sue and Larry Moneta were telling people through a bullhorn that the ..

across a time traveling machine. We didn’t know how to work it, but it sent us to Saturday’s Rolling Stones concert. This is what happened: Thousands of middle-aged adults descended onto Main West campus in various states of mind and via various modes of transportation—alums staggered through main quad residence halls shouldering entire kegs chanting “old Duke, old Duke,” parents showed up in luxury SUVs and minivans causing traffic to back up all the way to Chapel Hill and Prattles teleported them-

“Given a students criminal record is at stake, I think it’s only prudent that students seek legal counsel. Any competent, well-trained attorney will likely get similar results. ”

Stephen Bryan, associate dean for Judicial affairs, on encouraging students cited by Alcohol Law Enforcement to consider niring a lawyer. See story, page I.

7 m sure our University, and our athletic department, is going to do everything they can to keep [the field] intact and ensure the safety of our athletes when we come back home and play the next week. ”

Football head coach Ted Roof on the upcoming Rolling Stones concert, which will take place in Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday. See story, page 1.

The Chronicle

Suddenly, a younger look-

ing guy in a pink polo shirt and backwards cap jumped

over the gate and ordered everyone to show their IDs. A few SUV owners tried to quickly pack up and drive out of the Blue Zone. But L. Mo and the 15 others decked in neon green Tshirts formed a human blockade at the entrance of the last lot.

Miers’s experience irrelevant As a fellow liberal, I feel compelled to correct David Shiffman’s misguided stance in his letter, “Harriet Miers not qualified.” He argues that she is inadequate as a nominee because she has no experience as a judge. Yet, what he obviously did not realize is that William Rehnquist, who presided over the Court as Chief Justice for 19 years, was never a judge before his appointment either. Chief Justices Earl Warren and John Marshall also had no previous experiences as judges before their appointments to the Court. Mr. Shiftman should be mindful of many things with fhis appointee, such as her crony relationship to the Bush White House and her unknown stances on topics of extreme importance in today’s society. But one thing he should not be worried about is her lack of experience. Matthew Novak Pratt ‘O7 DUPD efforts deserve praise Note: This letter was sent in response to the Oct. 5 article “Police to discuss race with students. I’m glad the Duke University Police Department and undergraduate students are starting a dialogue about race. You need communications both ways, to build up a basic trust and understanding of how the other operates. If you wait for a crisis before talking to each other, it doesn’t work at all. ”

tailgate.

There was just no escape for the eager concert-goers. The drivers were forced to abandon their expensive vehicles, and a few even tried to make a run for it towards Wallace Wade—mostly to no avail. Predictably, the crowd that was left behind didn’t take well to the bust. A few people —all of whom had eerily painted their entire bodies blue except for the letters making up the words “ROLLING STONES ROCK” in whiteeven started pointing and screaming, “NO! NO! NO!” The undercover ALE officer tackled the rather intoxicated “G” to the ground and put him in a headlock. “You can’t always get what you want,” the ALE officer shouted.

“But...but if you try sometimes...” the G retorted. “NO! No Stones for you,” was the reply. ‘You just might find you get what you need!” the g\iyin-your-PubPol-section’s did screamed, his eyes closed, sweating profusely. All three of the “O’s” pointed their arms toward therumble and waggled their hands in true Cameron Crazie disapproval. Crazy Towel Guy, terry cloth in tow, approached the officer and asked him the reason for the bust, since nearly everyone in the lot over the age of 21. His reply was simple.

“Overage drinking.” In case you didn’t know, this is a joke edit. Have a great Fall Break!

Nicholas Butterfield Human Relations Officer Trinity ’69

In defense of free will Contrary to what Aroon states in her column (“The illusion of free will,” Oct. 5), individual responsibility is not part of American civic culture in the 21st century. Instead ofindividuals accepting the

consequences of their own poor exercise offree will, they blame the conditions around them: Civil lawsuits have become a burden to the courts, postmodernism’s nihilist dismissal of objective morality dominates much of higher education and objectivism preaches that it’s moral for me to help no one but myself. We are already living in a culture of blameless finger-pointing. Aroon’s idea that more burden should be placed on society encourages more individual shirking of responsibility. A wealth of literature exists warning us about such engineering of morality. Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange points to its unnatural cruelty, and even in Shakespeare’s King Lear, the rationalist Edmund states: “When we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as if we were villains by necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of planetary influence.” “Aim for the Stars” is a good subtitle to Aroon’s column, as there is little difference between blaming the heavens for one’s poor decisions and blaming society. The latter amounts to no more than superstition. The reason dishonest behavior is on the rise is not because society allows it; it is because society encourages it. The more society takes on the responsibility of engineering morality, the less the individual feels accountable for his own mistakes. In kindergarten, after saying or doing something mean to another child, we are taught to take responsibility for our actions and apologize, yet when we grow up, we are told we are mere pawns of the forces around us. It’s no wonder that when we eat too much McDonald’s and have a heart attack, we sue. —

for the Gothic Reading Room portrait that will one day bear Brodhead’s likeness. That is, until it was so abruptly whitewashed by a few Philistines in maintenance. Oh well. Aspects of symbolism are certainly well-represented. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and the rest of the Greek alphabet abound; the responses from other students appear to be profuse, varied and inclined towards phallic imagery. I suppose one gets out of this tradition what one puts in. A few poetic declarations of universal Duke truth and beauty also stand out on the walls: “F*** orgo,” “Damn pre-med,” “I’m going to fail” and “Stop vandalism!” Maybe you’re feeling contemplative? There’s no shortage of existential meditations. On one desk, a plea beginning “I want a guy who will accept me for who I am. I want a guy who can be romantic and sensitive...” stands next to the declaration “There is nothing more to life than guitars, girls and grog!” On the walls ofanother study space, some engineers and science kids may get their only exposure at Duke to literary giants on the order of Milton, Hemmingway, Pope and Joyce. Alas, do the offerings so far seem too tame, too safe, too bourgeois? What’s art without the shock? Fine, you

easy, because the greatest danger to student life on campus has been averted. What’s that? Did the administration finally put some heat on ALE for out-and-out harassment of students? Did Larry Moneta finally realize that the sole purpose of tailgate is to get wasted? No, but the University did find a solution to die tabling problem. Whew. Thanks to the construction of the new plaza and the destruction of the BC walkway, a capella groups, minority cultural groups JOG COX and the blood drive not quite fiction were left with no place to hawk CDs, sell tickets and guilt students into donating bodily fluids. They tried tabling outside the side entrance to the BC. But by simply holding their cell phones over the correct side of their faces (left going in, right going out) most students were able to never have to look the tablets in the eye. The old BC tabling format featured people on both sides of the walkway—students were obligated to look at the pleading faces of the people who marginally gave a want shocking? damn.

I wonder if perhaps there might be a more suitable locale that would guarantee that the vast majority of the student population would be confronted by the tablets. What about the space in front of the benches by the West Campus bus stop? I’ll admit that I didn’t come up with the idea, as I fondly remember seeing a couple of fraternities put on hilarious skits, pretending to be a lifeguard or a bear in that space. It seems perfect. Everyone that needs or wants to go between campuses has to walk past the bus stop. All freshmen, seniors living off East, students living on Central, philosophy, history, music or art majors would be obligated to choose between signing up to give blood and admitting that they really don’t care how many lives it saves. It is taking time out of your life to get a shot. Plus, while people wait for the bus, the tablets would be able to convince them of the necessity of their causes. “Yo, buy a $lO Sigma Nu York shirt, $2 goes to Hurricane Katrina Victims.” I would like to see someone pretend to talk on their cell phone over such an impassioned plea as that! Also, since the bus stop is now a quarter of a mile from the BC, the administration needs to figure out a way to facilitate tablets who may not have the will to carry a table from the BC. I mean, does anyone think that Students for a Sensible Drug Policy are really going to be able to carry a table past the Alpine without stopping for munchies? I propose either building a shed by the bus stop to house the tables, or hiring several strapping local men to serve as “Tabling Facilitators.” In this way, the University will not only support campus clubs but also provide a few extra jobs for the community. Or even better, the University could just go ahead and buy all those CDs, shirts and tickets and allow us to go to the ATM or lunch in peace.

s been a hard week. For freshmen, midterms may have been the first time life at Duke stopped feeling like an extended, posh summer camp—except of course, for everyone living in the Bell Tower. And to upperclassmen, midterms are a familiar ritual that hardly gets less painful with experience. Hopefully, we can agree that the time put into our papers and problem sets is well-spent—ok, fine, maybe a fraction of it is. Still, it stings to realize we’ll never get any of those hours in phil sugg Lilly and Perkins back. That is, unless we figure out—as last act some of us already have— how to take them back, How do an elite few manage to do it? These students, fringe bohemians that they surely are, dared ask one question: Does studying in the library have to be a black hole for meaningful social growth between Duke students? Their answer: Studying? Maybe. But studying in the library? Far from it. Divided and diverse as Duke students might be, if there’s anything that can bring us together, it is our own art and poetry. If we really wanted to enhance Duke’s “arts profile,” boy did we go overboard with that whole “Nasher Museum” idea. Heck, we didn’t even need the old art museum on East. All we needed were a whole lot of disposable cameras and a few hours in the Perkins and Lilly Library stacks. Why? Because I humbly submit that there are quite a few Duke students who are artists, and their masterpieces thrive just a hair below our lazy eyes. These artists practice from not just any old school or style—rather, they bear the torch for one of the oldest, most communal types of art in existence: graffiti. And it’s time they got their due. Should guided tours be instituted after the excitement generated by this column, navigating the treasures of the stacks will take days. But I’ll whet your interest with a few picks: There’s the realist piece: On the top floor of Perkins, a near life-sized portrait of our beloved president from the shoulders up, affectionately titled “Dickie B.” It was so good (no joke) that I thought it might be suitable as the sketch
