DUHS earns $75.6M Coach K to guide Team USA in best fiscal showing by

In an era of malpractice suits, overburdened emergency

rooms and diminishedaid from the federal government, the Duke University Health System just had its best financial performance yet last year. In the 2004 fiscal year, DUHS brought in $75.6 million of operating income from approximately $1.5 billion of revenue—nearly twice the original amount the system had set as its goal. This was DUHS’s fourth year of increased operating income—essentially, the system made a five-cent profit from every dollar of revenue. Ken Morris, senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of Duke University Health System, noted that increased availability of physician appointments was a key component of DUHS’s increased profits. “Heart, oncology, orthopedics and neuroscience are where we have tremendous demands and where improvements in access create a dispro-

portionate opportunity to improve overall performance,”

Morris said A significant portion of

DUHS’s revenue is used to cover employee salaries, supplies and other operational costs; the operating income provides an excess that can be put toward improvements across the system. “The operating income is what we have available to invest in facilities and equipment, to retire debt and to provide additional support to the School of Medicine,” Morris said. He added that some money will also be put into reserve—in case DUHS falls short of its desired revenue in the future. One of DUHS’s priorities is the renovation of Duke University Hospital’s emergency deThe partment. expansion should double its size, reduce overcrowding and allow for better treatment.

it has been reported that USA basketball haschosen Mike Krzyzewski to lead Team USA in the upcoming world championships in 2006 and the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.

As an assistant coach for the USA’s Dream Team in 1992, Mike Krzyzewski helped lead the squad to a gold medal, as the Americans dominated their opponents by an average of 43.8 points. More than a decade later, USA Basketball has called upon Krzyzewski once again, this time to serve as head coach of Team USA, a source familiar with the selection told the Associated Press Wednesday. Krzyzewski will lead the Americans at the 2006 world championships and, if they qualify, the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. “If I was given that opportunity that would be a great honor,” Krzyzewski said in June about the chance to coach Team USA. “I just want us to win, especially after we’ve lost, actually the last two times—in the World Championships and the Olympics.” Duke spokesman Jon Jackson refused to comment on the reports and said Krzyzewski was unavailable because he was out of town. The Hall of Fame coach will take on the difficult task of returning the American team to its prior glory. Facing increased talent in the global arena, USA Teams have failed to win gold at their last two international competitions —the SEE COACH K ON PAGE 14

Field of candidates for VP security post narrows by

Saidi Chen

THE CHRONICLE

Administrators have confirmed that they are still a few months away from filling the newly created position of associate vice president for campus safety and security. The creation of the post under the division of campus services comes as part of a year-long effort to reorganize and redefine the roles of the different facets of campus security. In June, officials estimated the search would be completed within four months. “They are down to a reasonably short list of candidates,” said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. “I would hope there would be a choice in a month.” However, Kernel Dawkins, vic£ president for campus services, said Trask’s estimate is very optimistic, adding that it is more realistic to expect the position to be filled a few months from now. Over the summer, an external firm was

hired to manage the search and pare down the list ofcandidates. Four to five of these candidates are now in the process of scheduling visits to campus, Trask said. “These are serious processes —they take some period of time. I’m very encouraged about where we are. I’m very enthused about the work the search firm has done,” Dawkins said. “I do believe we have in the candidate pool a number of very interesting and accomplished individuals.” In addition, Dawkins is putting together an advisory committee that will meet with and interview each of the candidates when they visit campus. The committee will be made up of faculty members and representatives from various campus organizations—including Duke Student Government and the Graduate and Professional Student Council—who will submit a report to Dawkins once their interviews have been SEE SECURITY ON PAGE 7

Iraqi parliament approves amendments by

MariamFam

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi lawmakers aplast-minute amendments to a set of proved the constitution without a vote Wednesday, sealing a compromise designed to win Sunni support and boost chances for the charter’s approval in a referendum just three days away. The deal, brokered with intense U.S. mediation, came as insurgents pressed their campaign to wreck Saturday’s referendum. A suicide bomber killed 30 Iraqis at an army recruitment center in a northern town where another bomber had struck just a day earlier.

At least one major Sunni Arab party, the Iraqi Islamic Party, said it will now support the draft at the polls. But some other Sunni parties rejected the amendments and said they would still campaign for a “no” vote. Iraq’s most powerful Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani also weighed in, ordering Shiites to vote “yes” in the referendum, one of his aides, Faisal Thbub, said. It was the most direct show of support for the charter by al-Sistani, whose call brought out huge numbers of voters to back Shiite parties in January elections. The most significant change is the introduction of a mechanism allowing Sunni Arabs to try to make more substantive

changes in the constitution later, after a new parliament is elected this December. Sunnis want to weaken the considerable autonomous powers the Shiite and Kur-

dish mini-states would have under the constitution. But there’s no guarantee they will succeed: They will still likely face strong opposition from majority Shiites and Kurds in the new parliament. The amendments passed Wednesday also made some key symbolic concessions to Sunni Arabs, underlining that Iraq will be a single nation with its unity guaranteed—a nod to fears among the disaffected minority SEE

Miers' religious beliefs in limelight by

Deb Riechmann

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The White House tried Wednesday to patch a growing fissure in the Republican Party over Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers by pointing to her conservative religious beliefs. “Part of Harriet Miers’ life is her religion,” President George W. Bush said. President Bush defended his nomination, saying Miers was highly qualified, a trailblazer in the law in Texas and someone who would strictly interpret the Constitution—something his conservative supporters want evidence to support. He said his advisers’ comments about Miers’ churchgoing

were meant to give people a better understanding ofhis litde-known nominee. “People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers,” he said. “They want to know Harriet Miers’ background. They want to know as much as they possibly can before they form opinions.” That comment further inflamed critics of the nomination who contend Miers’ religion is being used to sell the nominee to the right flank of Bush’s conservative base. They argue that the president is asking them to trust him and blindly support his nomination even though Miers has no judicial record that would offer insight into how she would vote on the high court.

On a radio show broadcast Wednesday, James Dobson, founder of the conservative Focus on the Family, said that before Miers was nominated, Karl Rove reassured him that she was an “evangelical Christian, that she is from a very conservative church, which is almost universally pro-life.” Religion was an area the White House carefully avoided in pushing the chief justice nomination of John Roberts just a month ago. During his confirmation hearings, Roberts sought to assure senators that his rulings would be guided by his understanding of the facts of cases,

Yoder to reinvigorate, expand DUPC Non-TAP by

Jasten McGowan

computers

THE CHRONICLE

Anne Yoder has high hopes for the futures of prosimian primates, large and small, housed at the Duke University Primate Center. Yoder, who is set to take on the role as DUPC director January 1, 2006, has been charged with enhancing the center’s educational and research value to the University while maintaining its work on conservation efforts. “Everyone’s rooting for the primate center,” she said. “I’m confident we’re going to take it to the top.” University administrators pledged $8 million earlier this year to help the center increase its potential for valuable research and teaching. Yoder, who earned her Ph.D. in anatomy from the Duke University Medical Center in 1992 and joined the the Duke faculty this fall, said she will use these funds to upgrade DUPC facilities. “The top priority will definitely be improving the winterization process,” Yoder said. “We’re building enclosed, temperature-controlled natural habitats that allow for more studies in free-ranging areas.” Expanding natural habitats has been a long-standing goal at DUPC since various primates suffered illnesses or death in 1996 because of cold temperatures. “One issue in the 1990 s was that in the aftermath of the incidents, a lot ofanimals that had been kept outdoors were brought inside,” Vice Provost for Research James Siedow said. “When this takes place, primate behavior totally changes. It’s just not appealing [to researchers].” Siedow and other Duke officials hope to reinvigorate the center’s popularity—which waned in the late-1990s—among scientists. But it remains uncertain if the 1996 incident is the single factor for that decline. “Since the primate center is both a Duke facility and nationally funded, we’d hope it would be a draw for other people, as in the 1980s—in the BAA department, the medical center and beyond,” Siedow said. Enhancing laboratory space is one of Yoder’s top priorities for fostering more

Whether your computer is the love of your life or the bane of your existence, you have likely paid a visit to the Office of Information Technology at least once in your Duke career. OIT announced in July that it now offers a fee-based repair program for computers not bought through Duke’s Technology Advantage Program. The previous policy allowed non-TAP students to have their computers fixed by OIT without a fee—students would only be charged for replaced hardware. But the time it took OIT to repair those computers was considerably longer than those bought through Duke. For instance, the average waiting time for TAP computers in February 2005 was two to three days. Some non-TAP students were waiting more than a month for their computers to be returned. “The wait time for non-TAP machines was becoming unacceptable,” said Debbie DeYulia, senior manager with OlT’s Tech-

Potential research collaborations with the DUPC include efforts to study lesser mouse lemurs, whose unique genetics and evolutionary history may hold the key to aging and memory studies. Siedow said the extra laboratory space will allow for greater study of the animals. Scientists also plan to collaborate more with scientists from Madagascar in research and conservation efforts. In line with University goals, Yoder ter. She said she

also plans to construct space at the center for classes and seminars. Currently, many courses taught at DUPC only utilize the center for laboratory sections, while lectures are taught at Duke’s main campus. “I want to implement state-of-the-art classroom space, including wireless internet and audiovisual capabilities, to accommodate teaching and discussion,” Yoder said. “I eventually hope for something that will facilitate many people—undergraduate and graduate courses, symposium seminars.” Yoder and Siedow both stressed that, despite aims to improve its research and education components, the center’s mission to foster education, research and conservation are largely integrated and will play on one another as improvements progress.

The impetus for the policy change involved a combination of student feedback, comparisons with programs at peer institutions and advice from the Information Technology Advisory Council, DeYulia said. Consistent with last year, students who buy their computers through Duke can still enjoy free computer repairs by OIT. The OIT Help Desk is also still available to all students.

Brodhead to co-lead '8 Bonds' by

David Graham

THE CHRONICLE

Cynthia Brodhead, wife of President Richard Brodhead, has been appointed as one of three co-chairs for a Durham-sponsored committee that will push for the passage of bond referendums worth $llO million. Brodhead joins longtime Durham residents and fellow civic leaders Nathan and Wanda Garrett to lead the “8 Bonds for a Better Durham” Committee. The committee is seeking passage of the eight general obligadon bond issues in a Nov. 8 referendum. The bonds would cover more

than 80 municipal projects —including street and sidewalk repairs, neighborhood improvements

and

infrastructure

upgrades to cultural facilities, city properties and water and sewage systems. “These are all basic, fundamental things you have to do,” Brodhead said. “Anyone who lives in a community has an obligation of stewardship to ensure that these things get done.” Although the improvements at stake are not necessarily glamorous, Brodhead noted the importance of the committee. ‘You don’t want people to be so non-

chalant about these issues that they don’t go out and vote,” she said. In a letter posted on the municipal government website, City Manager Patrick Baker wrote that the passage of the referendum might result in a property tax increase of about 5.7 cents for every $lOO of assessed property value. Since moving to Durham last year, Brodhead has become involved in the local community.

Gulf Coast students weigh in on experience, return by

Leslie Griffith THE CHRONICLE

As he watched Hurricane Katrina ravage the city he had called home for the last three years, Tulane senior Dwight Blass knew he would have to make some quick decisions. Blass, an economics major, waited out the storm in Houston before he heard Duke was accepting displaced students who were also the children of alumni. He put in a phone call that morning, heard back from the admissions office the same afternoon and set off for Durham.

“I’m very appreciative of the generous community at Duke,” Blass said. Though much of the floodwater has receded from Gulf Coast, Blass and the more than 60 students who came to Duke in the wake of Hurricane Katrina are still facing a number of challenging adjustments and decisions. Although the transition was sometimes difficult, the displaced students said they found a welcoming temporary home at Duke. Blass was “very touched” by a meeting held between Katrina

relief organizations on campus and the incoming students from New Orleans. Senior Kayla Stachniak, also from Tulane, noted the practical and emotional support provided by Duke. Stachniak said her experience seems more positive than the experiences of schoolmates at other colleges. “The free required textbooks and school supplies were really great,” Stachniak said. Even in a supportive community, however, such a big transition is challenging. Both Blass and sophomore Stacey Sherman

Film screening newsbriefs kicks off 'No Visa Required’ series by

Caitijln Donnelly THE CHRONICLE

Love, not war, was the focus of a movie about the Middle East last night, as the Griffith Film Theater played host to The Prince, a romantic drama written and directed by Tunisian filmmaker Mohamed Zran. The film follows Adel, a lowly floral shop worker, in his quest to meet his literal “lady in red,” Donia, a workaholic single mother who manages the local bank. The film was followed by a question and answer session with Zran. Although his English was, by his own admission, “comme ci, comme ca,” Zran was able to engage in an elaborate discussion of his film with the aid of a translator, Duke Professor ofArabic Miriam Cooke. “I was trying to show how globalization is starting to fragment this close-knit structure,” Zran said. “If globalization is happening and it’s moving so fast, why can’t we make it do all the things it’s doing in a more human way?” Zran is currently touring the country with his film. The trip marks the director’s first visit to the United States, which he noted was, in reality, much different than the myths that abound in his home country suggest. “Many people from our region see it... as a country of power, of wealth, of dreams. I feel that we’re the same. We have the same preoccupations, the same concerns,” Zran said. One notable difference, however, was the self-imposed isolation and workaholic tendencies of most Americans. “There doesn’t seem to be a social life [in America],” he joked. “In Tunisia we live next to each other; to get from one place to another here, it’s really far.” Cooke and the college-aged audience, however, proceeded to reassure him that Americans do, in fact, have social lives. The Prince is one of six films featured in the ongoing, nationwide film series, No Visa Required. Co-sponsored by the Tribeca Film Institute—the nonprofit wing of the Tribeca Film Festival—and ArteEast—an organization devoted to promoting Middle Eastern art and artists—The Prince came to Duke after its U.S. premiere in New York Saturday. “The images that most Americans see of the Middle East are of violence.

restoration of patient care units at Durham Regional Hospital. For an enterprise that was once in red ink, DUHS has not only bounced back but become profitable as well—a challenge given that many American hospitals are still struggling to pay the bills. For many hospitals, increasing costs from malpractice suits, equipment maintenance and uninsured patients have outpaced compensation from the federal government and insurance companies. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, for example, is estimated to have caused DUHS losses upwards of $2OO million, hospital administrators estimated in 2003. In 1998, DUHS detached itself financially from the University by officially becoming a separate organization. In the same year, DUHS purchased

troubled Durham Regional Hospital—which incurred losses of $4O million by 2003. In late 2000, the organization sold its Health Management Organization, WellPath, which was losing $l2 million each year. “Those were issues of digestion—they bit off a lot, and it took a couple of years to sort through the acquisitions that were done in 1998,” Morris said. “[We] were perhaps more aggressive than we needed to be.” In addition to financial challenges, DUHS has also had to contend with blows to its public image. In 2003, 17-year-old Jesica Santillan died after receiving a heart and lung transplant of the wrong blood type. The case received national attention, leading to negative publicity and ultimately, an out-of-court settlement. And in November and December of 2004, surgery patients at Duke Health Raleigh and Durham Regional hospitals

were exposed to equipment that had been mistakenly washed in elevator hydraulic fluid. Despite such errors, the patients —and cash—keep flowing in. System hospitals had 60,600 inpatients during the 2004 budget year and saw nearly 1.3 million patients through outpatient care. This was an increase of about 1,000 and 79,000 pa-

tients, respectively.

In the future, DUHS is looking to continue its financial success by increasing revenue and controlling expenses. “Wake County is an area where we hope to grow,” Morris said, noting the area’s rapid population growth. “We have a hospital there, and we are developing programs around that hospital both in the inpatient and outpatient arena.” DUHS will also try to reduce costs by renegotiating contracts with equipment suppliers and drug companies, Morris ex-

We have a lot of issues to work through,” he added. Trask declined to elaborate further. The new associate vice president for campus safety and security will also play a role in looking at these issues, but administrators are not waiting until the position is filled to begin working, Dawkins said. “We’re hoping to take a look at the broad security and safety issues at Duke, and we’re also hoping to look at

how we’ve used our resources —staffing resources and technological resources—that will enhance safety and security issues,” he said. “Some of the plans for reorganization are proceeding absent this individual.” Robert Dean, interim DUPD chief, will step down once the associate vice president spot has been filled, Trask said. Though the position is not specifically designated as chief of the police department, part of the reorganization will entail determining whether or not a search will be conducted for a new police chief. Former DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead stepped down June 30. Another issue administrators will address this year is the implementation of technological advances, including the possible use of security cameras. “We’re going to speak to a number ofmembers of the University community to put in a security plan and a security strategy,” Dawkins said. “I’m cognizant [installing security cameras] was an issue before. I’m comfortable in the belief that we can find ways to enhance security in ways that don’t compromise the needs for privacy and personal freedom.”

According to the company’s website, Net Friends picks up computers from the Bryan Center and repairs them at a facility in Durham. Three repair categories range in price from $99 to $199 and include everything from virus eradication to hard drive reformat. Net Friends aims to complete all repairs within two business days. “Things seem to be running well,” said Net Friends president David Scarborough. “We haven’t gotten any complaints.” Sophomore Juliana Bell was directed to Net Friends by OFT earlier this year when her computer was in need ofrepair. “Obviously I didn’t want to have to fork out $l3O to get my computer fixed,” she said. “But all I had to do was drop it off with OFT. Sk It saved me a 15-minute drive to Best Buy.” Despite OlT’s e-mail to all students to inform them of the new changes, many remain unaware of the change in policy. Some students expressed concern about the introduction of a fee for what was once a free service. “It’s been really nice having a computer through Duke,” senior Lauren Deysher said. “I’ve had a lot of problems with it, so I like being able to drop it off at Off and not worry about it.” OIT recommends students buy their computers through Duke. According to the OIT website, TAP offers not only free full repair services but also loaner laptops that students can borrow while their computers are being repaired. The Help Desk Service Center worked on 145 TAP machines this September, while Net Friends worked on only 21 non-TAP computers, said David Menzies, manager of news and information for OIT. Although DeYulia said there has not been much student feedback—positive or negative—OlT will most likely continue the program next year. '

that the draft as it stood would fragment the country. That was not enough, however, for many Sunni leaders. “The added articles do not change anything and provide no guarantees,” Muthana Harith al-Dhari, spokesman of the influential Association of Muslim Scholars, told Al-Jazeera television. “We have called for boycotting the elections or rejecting the constitution,” he said. Still, the changes will likely split the Sunni vote enough to prevent them from defeating the draft constitution. The draft will be rejected if more than two thirds of the voters oppose it in any three of Iraq’s 18 provinces, and Sunnis have the potential to do so in just four. The charter’s passage is a key goal of the United States, since failure would mean months more political instability and delay U.S. plans to start pulling troops out of Iraq. Sunni Vice President Ghazi al-Yawer said the amendments meant Sunnis will have to work harder in the December parliamentary elections to ensure a strong presence in the next parliament to try for future, deeper changes in the constitution. They have only 17 members in the current 275-member parliament after largely boycotting Jan. 30 elections. “This is the best we have. We have to be practical,” alYawer said. “This has opened the door for major amendments of the constitution. This will happen through participating in the elections. The more turnout there is, the more chances there are for amendments.” Iraq’s top leaders, including the Kurdish president and Shiite prime minister, lined up on stage before the gathered lawmakers in parliament, lauding the deal as a show of unity between the country’s often divided factions and communities. “We have the right to be proud in saying that today was a day ofnational consensus,” President Jalal Talabani said. “So congratulations to our people for their constitution.” The hour-long session, attended by 159 of parliament’s members—ended without the lawmakers voting on the amendments, but Parliament Speaker Hajim al-Hassani said no actual vote was necessary and that the compromise was approved. The deal had already been accepted by the main parties in parliament after it was reached Tuesday night following three days of marathon negotiations, shepherded by U.S. officials. U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad attended Wednesday’s parliament session.

MIERS from page 2 the law and the Constitution, not by his personal views. “My faith and my religious beliefs do not play a role,” said Roberts, who is Catholic. “The White House and the religious right leaders rallying around the beleaguered nomination of Harriet Miers continue to cite her religious beliefs and the church she attends as reasons to believe she will oppose abortion rights and to bolster support for her among activists on the far right,” said Ralph Neas, director of the liberal People for the American Way. “What’s wrong for John Roberts can’t be right for Harriet Miers.” The Rev. Barry Lynn, director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, said anyone who tried to bring up the topic of religion during the Roberts confirmation was labeled a bigot. “Now Bush and Rove are touting where Miers goes to church and using that as a selling point,” Lynn said. “The hypocrisy is staggering.” A little over a week since Miers was nominated, complaints continued from the right. Other conservatives, however, jumped into the fray to support Miers. Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, who has endorsed Miers, issued a warning to conservative senators who might be thinking of voting against her. “They’re going to turn against a Christian who is a conservative picked by a conservative president and they’re going to vote against her for confirmation? Not on your sweet life, if they want to stay in office,” he said. Evangelical support of Miers, however, is weaker than it was for Roberts, according to APTpsos polling. In the days after the nominations, twice as many evangelicals felt strongly that Roberts should be confirmed to the Supreme Court as felt that way about Miers. Republicans overall were less enthusiastic about Miers than Roberts. Almost three-fourths wanted Roberts confirmed, compared to six in 10 for Miers.

years, a panel comprised of city officials and 28 community representatives has been reviewing and prioritizing a catalog of over 200 potential projects to decide what will be funded if the bonds pass. Baker said he is optimistic about the campaign. “What the voters should consider is whether or not they agree with the issues,” rather than the actual price of the bonds because bonds are the best funding method available, he said. Durham is one offewer than 40 cities nationwide with a top ‘AAA’ credit rating given by all three major U.S. bond rating agencies. As a result of this high rating, the

city is able to borrow money at the lowest possible interest rates. The rating was reaffirmed last month. “[Brodhead is] extremely smart and very attentive to what it is we’re trying to accomplish, especially for only being here a year,” Baker said. “I think the Brodheads get it.” The appointment ofBrodhead, an attorney, fits into a long tradition of community work by the spouses of University presidents.

Rebecca Moros has already had a good week. Scoring against No. 12 Wake Forest only made it better. The junior midfielder netted Duke’s second goal as the No. 6 Blue Devils defeated the Demon Deacons 3-0 Wednesday at Koskinen WAKE 1_ Stadium. Moros scored DUKE 3 two goals in the Blue Devils’ 2-1 upset over North Carolina Oct. 9 and was named player of the week by TopDrawerSoccer.net, Soccer America, and the ACC. She now has four goals this season along with two assists,, making her the team’s points leader. Wake Forest (8-4-1. 3-3 in the ACC) came out strong against Duke (10-2-1, 4-2) and put early pressure on the Blue Devil defenders. After turning the Demon Deacons away in the fifth minute, the Blue Devils began a strong offensive push that lasted the majority of the match. “I think the team really connected well today,” junior midfielder Lauren Tippets said. “We played quickly. We played with the same kind of intensity that we played with against Carolina Sunday.” Tippets netted the first goal for the Blue Devils on a free kick in the 20th minute. She sent the ball into the goalie box toward Duke players. Expecting a Blue Devil header, Wake Forest goalie Kaitlyn Doe mishandled the ball, letting it bounce off her arm and into the net, giving the Blue Devils the lead. “We knew that they had a longer break than we did to get ready for the game,” Moros said. “So we thought it was particuSEE W.

Midfielder Lauren Tippets notched her first goal of the season in Duke's 3-0 win over Wake Forest.

Fans excited by the lofty expectations surrounding the Duke basketball team and curious about the heralded freshman class will have to wait one more week to see the Blue Devils in action. Duke will not be staging a Midnight Madness-style opening event for the second consecutive year when practice begins Friday, even though a new NCAA rule would allow the team to begin the practice earlier than the traditional midnight start. The Blue Devils will instead be hosting a coaches’ clinic this weekend with nearly 1,000 coaches from high schools and small colleges coming to observe the team’s first three practices. “The Blue-White game has always been the opening celebration for us,” assistant coach Chris Collins said. “We like having it on parents’ weekend in conjunction with the football game.” The team will hold a practice open to the public at 1:30 p.m., Oct. 21, with the Blue-White game being played the following day at 1 p.m. The open practice will be the first time fans can watch the 2005 recruiting class, ranked No. 2 by Scout.com, and the rest of the Duke squad, picked to win the NCAA title by many national publications, in action.

New hockey rules give fans reason to return by

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

The National Hockey League is back RALEIGH on the ice after a year-long lockout between the owners and players wiped out last season. Fans flocked to the RBC Center in Raleigh Oct. 7 to check out the new-look NHL in the Carolina Hurricanes’ home opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The NHL fan base was dwindling leading up to the work stoppage that forced the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season. To make the game more exciting upon its return, the league added new rules and regulations aimed at increasing scoring. Carolina fans—often referred to as Caniacs —saw first hand the effects of the new policies as a tie game led to a shootout in the home opener. A late third-period goal from the Penguins knotted the score at two and earned both teams one point in the standings. After five minutes of overtime failed to determine a winner of the second point, the sell-out crowd of 18,787 rose to its feet to witness Hurricane hockey history. In the three-round shootout that followed, 21-yearold Carolina goalie Cam Ward turned away future Hall of Fame forward Mario Lemieux and youth-phenom Sidney Crosby in his team’s 1-0 shootout victory. Cory Stillman netted a goal for the Hurricanes to give the team a coveted point in the standings that would not have been awarded in the old NHL.

“If you get into 15 shootouts over the course of the season and you win 10 or 11 of them, that’s 10 or 11 points,” Pittsburgh head coach Eddie Olczyk said. “That’s possibly the difference between home-ice advantage and maybe missing the playoffs.” While the shootout is the most radical part of the new NHL, five other major changes have taken effect this season. When Caniacs flooded into the RBC Center, the ice markings were unfamiliar. The blue lines, which signify the end of the offensive zone, were both moved two feet closer to center ice and the goal line moved two feet back. The additional four feet to the attack zone is designed to allow offenses to spread out more and operate more efficiently. “I really like the opening up of the offensive zone,” season-ticket holder and Durham resident Mark Schnee said. “It makes for a faster and more exciting game.” Two lines, forming a trapezoid behind the net, were added between the goal line and the backboards. Goaltenders previously could stymie offensive attacks by leaving the net and handling the puck in the comers, but now they will be called for a delay-of-game penalty for touching the puck outside the trapezoidal region. Aside from restricting their range, the new regulations will affect goalies by reducing the maximum size of their pads by 11 percent. SEE HOCKEY ON PAGE 16

White Sox edge Angels after curious call in bottom of 9th Mike Fitzpatrick THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO The Angels were certain they were headed to extra innings. A.J. Pierzynski and the White Sox had other ideas—and so did the home plate umpire. So while third-string catcher Josh Paul and his Los Angeles teammates ran off the field Wednesday night, Pierzynski took off for first base, triggering what is sure to go down as one of the most disputed endings

in postseason history. Given a second chance when umpire Doug Eddiiigs called strike three—but not the third out—Chicago beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 on Joe Crede’s two-out double in the ninth to even the best-of-seven AL championship series at a game apiece. “I didn’t do anything,” Pierzynski said “I struck out.” Sure, but that’s not what fans will remember for years to come. In a sequence as bizarre as any imaginable on a baseball field, Pierzynski swung at and missed a low pitch from Angels reliever Kelvim Escobar, appearing to end the bottom of the ninth inning with the score tied at 1. The ball was gloved by Paul—replays appeared to show he caught it cleanly just before it would have hit the dirt. And behind him, Eddings clearly raised his right arm and closed his fist, signaling strike three. “When he rings him up with a fist, he’s out,” Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. Being a catcher Pierzynski knew to play it all the way through, just in case. He twirled around and husded to first. Positive the inning was over, Paul rolled the ball out to the mound with the Angels already coming off the field, so Pierzynski was easily safe. Pinch-runner Pablo Ozuna quickly stole second, and Crede lined an 0-2 pitch into left field for a game-winning double.

After being eliminated in the round of 16 last year while at UCLA, the fifth-seeded Blue Devil transfer advanced to the finals for the first time in her career by defeating Stanford’s Alice Barnes, 6-2, 6-2, in the semifinals. “It was a good experience for her and is the furthest she has advanced in a grand slam tournament during her career,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “At the same time, she knows she can be the best player in the country if she puts the work and effort into it. She knows it is right there for her.” Bercek had been on a tear until her meeting with Leimbach. She had won seven straight matches leading up to Sunday’s championship and did not drop a set in the four prior to the loss. Furthermore, Bercek had faced Leimbach three times last year while at UCLA and had won all three matches.

COACH K from page 1

JESSICA SCHREIBER/THE CHRONICLE

Mike Krzyzewski, who has won three NCAA titles at Duke, was an assistant coach for the 1992 Olympic team that won a gold medal.

Americans finished sixth at the 2002 world championships in Indianapolis, and third at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Because it failed to capture gold in Greece, Team USA needs to qualify for the 2008 Olympics by winning either the 2006 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan or earning a bid by qualifying in a FIBA Americas tournament during the 2007 summer. As a result of the potential three-summer commitment, New York Post writer Peter Vecsey reported Oct. 9 that Kr2yzewski might take a season off from Duke to focus on the Olympic team. Duke Athletic Director Joe Alieva rejected any such notion, however. “That’s one columnist’s opinion,” Alieva told the News & Observer Monday. “I don’t foresee any circumstances where the coach would be taking a year off.” Alieva was out of town Wednesday and could not be reached for comment. Jerry Colangelo, the managing director of the USA Basketball senior men’s national team, said in May —shortly after he was appointed to the newly created post —that

Krzyzewski was “at the top of the list” of candidates for the position. Colangelo, who is also the Chairman and CEO of the Phoenix Suns, said Krzyzewski had many of the attributes he would be looking for in a coach. “He certainly is organized. He’s terrific at his job and at his trade,” Colangelo said ofKrzyzewski in May. “I think he has communicative skills which are important.” Krzyzewski has previous international coaching experience in addition to his role as Chuck Daly’s assistant at the Olympics in 1992. He guided USA teams to a bronze medal at the world championships in 1990 and a silver medal at the World University Games in 1987. His involvement with USA Basketball also includes serving as chairman of the Player Selection Committee for the 1992 Olympic team, an experience that will likely assist him in addressing some of the problems facing USA Basketball. Although Colangelo has final say when choosing the players, he has said he will consult his coach and a committee of other basketball personnel with his decisions. “I think maybe one of the problems is maybe that you need to develop a team, and a team doesn’t mean you just have all the best players,” Krzyzewski said in June of Team USA’s recent struggles. “I think the [international] game is different...You have to build a team that will play in those conditions, not the conditions of an all-star game.” FIBA, basketball’s international governing body, approved a rule change in 1989 that allowed NBA players to compete in the Olympics, sparking a decade of domination by the USA in international competition. But at the 2002 World Championships, Argentina upset the Americans, 8780—the loss snapped USA’s 58-game win streak against international opponents with NBA players on the court. Over the past several years, USA Basketball has had difficulty securing the NBA’s best players to represent America at international competitions. Prior to the Olympics in Athens, some players chose not to participate, citing security concerns and their desire to rest and recuperate rather than spend their summer traveling and risking injury while playing. “When you put that team together you have to make sure they abide by the old saying, You play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back,”’ Krzyzewski said. ‘You have to have eight or nine players who are playing, and three to four players who will come off the bench if you need them and are going to be supportive and hungry whether you use them or not.” Entering his 26th season as the Duke head coach, Krzyzewski has amassed 648 wins at the helm of the Blue Devils, including a record 66 NCAA Tournament victories. He has guided Duke to three national championships and 10 Final Four appearances. USA Basketball has no official coaching announcement planned, Assistant Executive Director for Communications Craig Miller said. The USA Basketball Executive Committee must approve Colangelo’s selection, and although it can do so at any time, its next scheduled meeting will be Nov. 9-10 in Colorado Springs, Colo.

W. SOCCER from page 11

HOCKEY from page 11 Two plays previously outlawed by the NHL were also made legal under hockey’s new rules and regulations to encourage scoring. Players were called offsides prior to this season for entering the offensive zone before the puck. An amendment was passed to the rule that now allows the player a chance to leave the offensive zone and not be called offsides as long as no teammate has contact with the puck. After approving the new regulation, Commissioner Gary Bettman said it should improve the flow of the game and end unnecessary pauses. The two-line pass —when a defender passes the puck from his defensive zone to an attacking forward past the mid-ice red line—is also no longer enforced and the NHL said the repeal of the rule should lead to more breakaways. Carolina immediately proved the benefit of the twoline pass as captain Rod Brind’Amour hit Stillman in stride across center ice near the end of the first period of Friday’s home opener. Instead of the play being blown dead, the forward had a breakaway and beat Penguin goalkeeper Sebastien Caron for the Hurricanes’ second and final goal ofregulation. “We had over 18,000 fans in the building tonight and we have to give them a reason to get out their seats and cheer,” Carolina head coach Peter Laviolette said after the game. “I think we accomplished that.”

lady important to come out hard for the first 20 minutes and make a statement that that wasn’t going to make a difference, that they weren’t going to match our energy.”

Duke outshot their ACC foe 7-1 in the first half and 16-6 in the match. “This is Wake Forest’s best team in a while,” head coach Robbie Church said. “Obviously we were worried, can we move on and how quickly can we move on [after the UNC game]. They came into our first practice Monday focused though.” The Blue Devils emerged from the locker room as the aggressor, dominating Wake Forest on both sides of the ball. Moros scored in the 67th minute off a pass from junior captain Darby Kroyer. The midfielder set Moros up on the right side of the 18-yard box. Moros beat her defender and the substitute Demon Deacon goalkeeper, sophomore Heather Currie, to the left side of the net. Kroyer notched a goal ofher own near the end of the game. In the 84th minute, senior forward Carolyn Riggs charged the Wake Forest net. Her shot was blocked by the Demon Deacon goalie but a foul was called outside of the 18-yard box. Kroyer connected on the ensuing free kick, lifting the ball over the Wake Forest wall and into the left side of the net to put Duke up 3-0. Blue Devil goalie Allison Lipsher made four saves over the course of the contest but was never truly challenged. “We had top performers all over,” Church said. “We started to get tired in the second half. The real key of the game was to go deep in our "bench, and we got good Lauren Tippets celebrates with Darby Kroyer during Duke's 3-0 shutout ofWakeForest Wednesday.

to the one put on last year, but so far no date has been set. Whether or not they are hosting an opening event, nearly all Division I teams are taking advantage of a new rule that allows the season’s first practice to start earlier. Previously, practices were not permitted to start until midnight of the Saturday closest to Oct. 15. The rule change now allows practices to begin five hours earlier, at 7 p.m. on the Friday night closest to the 15th. The amendment was submitted by the Board of Directors in the summer of 2004, but the proposal did not take effect until this year. The board cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the change. “Obviously, there are a number of boosters and students attending this event, and before they would be getting on the road at 1:30 or 2 in the morning,” NCAA spokesperson Crissy Schluep said. “By pushing the start

forward to seven, they could be'on the road by 8:30 or 9 and not at such late hours.” Although television coverage was not a stated goal of the change, ESPN is airing the start of some college basketball practices for the first time since 1997. Kansas, Kentucky, Memphis, Michigan St. and Oregon will all have live one-hour events televised on ESPNU Friday Oct. 14. Many coaches use the Midnight Madness events as a recruiting tool, as it allows them to show prospects a game-type atmosphere without having to focus on normal preparation. Dave Telep, national recruiting analyst for Scout.com, said Duke, however, would likely not be affected by its decision to hold off on opening festivities. “Duke has traditionally not used it as much in terms ofrecruiting —they have the August alumni game and a number of events throughout the year where they bring in recruits,” Telep said. “One of the drawbacks of using Midnight Madness as a recruiting weekend is you lose the personal attention you might be able to give a recruit on another weekend.”

Even if students are experienced drinkers, most of them have not had the temptation of driving. The issue of drunk driving feels like it gets worse as people get older because people become more comfortable with their own levels ofintoxication. And in a morbidly ironic cycle, the more frequendy students get away with drunk driving, the less dangerous it seems. None of us should ever have a need to participate in that cycle.

like to think I am more than a piece ofpaper, but any glance at a job or summer internship application tells me I’m not. The “limit your resume to one-page” directions force me to shrink margins and decrease font size, two opdons I rarely use on Microsoft Word, in order to accurately present the many facets of me. I don’t mean to imply that my accomplishments or activities are so numerous that they can’t all fit in ap 8.5” X 11” space, because they certainly can, it’s just die very idea of shortening all my sleepless nights, coundess meetings and hard work into one to two bullet miho kubagawa points that bothers me. discere vivendo Call me crazy, but resumes do the exact opposite of highlighting my abilities. I mean, every time I sit down to revise my resume (because as the Career Center’s Career Guide booklet states, “the revision process never stop”), I spend most of my time using my thesaurus to find better action verbs than “tutored” or “organized” in hopes of conveying a better sense of what I contributed. I didn’t just tutor and organize, gosh darn it. I prefer “inspired,” “revolutionized” or “masterminded.” Okay, maybe not. I do find though that the rather suffocating formality of the resume sends all my quirks and creativity straight down the drain, and I am left with no other choice but to describe formal (read; “impressive-looking”) organizations and honors attained, rather than describe the more meaningful, informal experiences I have gained here at Duke. Take, for example, tenting. With the men’s basketball’s preseason ranking of No. 1 and what’s turning out to be another disappointing football season, basketball season can’t come any sooner, and several tent groups are already forming. Not very many organizations, internships and activities can give you a wider range of skillsand strategies necessary for success than tenting, which definitely was the highlight of the second semester of my freshman year. In fact, if I could include it on my resume, I’d have to include several bullet points, not just one or two: “Tenting. Collaborated with 11 individuals on daily basis to ensure competitive spot in tenting line-up and to promote Duke basketball. Facilitated dialogue between tent members, line monitors and other members of Krzyzewskiville to cultivate environment of safety in subfreezing temperatures. Promoted the importance of Cameron Crazies by constantly jumping up and down. Gained Microsoft Excel skills through process ofcoordinating 12 ACES schedules.” Though my work experience as a tenter (and trust me, it is work), I exhibited team work, time management, flexibility and organizational skills. Heck, I didn’t even have to waste a summer to gain my Excel abilities. And I clearly epitomized passion and perseverance. As for the “Skills” section, sure, I can spit out PowerPoint presentations and work my magic with Microsoft Word without the help ofAnimated Paperclip. Did I mention, though, after many late nights on Central Campus, I’ve also gained the skills necessary of playing Texas Hold ‘em well, too? Granted, I would never actually put the above on my real resume, except for “Krzyzewskiville” and “card games” in the “Interests” section, and I’m obviouslyjust poking fun at the whole craft-a-resume process. Perhaps what I’m most peeved about when writing a resume, though, is that I appear on paper as a very boring, typical Duke student. My grades are good, my organizations are varied, and my contributions are commendable. At the same time, I have no personality. My resume simply doesn’t exude “Miho.” In fact, there is something to be said about an individual who tents or who “goes all in” with pocket aces. Or at least, I think so. If you stripped me of my organizations and accomplishments, you’d be left with my idiosyncrasies, the ways in which I use my free time when I’m not so wrapped up in “what will make me look good.” I’ll just have to stick to hoping my interviewer will ask me about my “Interests” section, that last line of my resume where I can then go into detail on “Krzyzewskiville” and “card games.” That is, if the rest of my resume is good enough for me to land the interview.
