ed by a jury, McGuinness would spend from 15 years to life in jail. Debbie Mesloh, a spokesperson for the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, said McGuinness has three prior drunk driving convictions—two in Sonoma County in 1996 and

1997 and one in San Francisco in 2001. Mesloh said she did not know if McGuinness served a jail sentence for the prior crimes or had his license revoked. McGuinness, who was driving a Toyota Tundra truck, ran a stop sign and crashed into a Yellow Cab taxi that was already in the intersection. Brown, senior Mike Giedgowd and Brown’s older half-brother Adrian were in the taxi with its driver. Brown, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Giedgowd suffered a broken leg and a fractured hip. Adrian sustained minor injuries. Yellow Cab driver Zareh Soghikian, 76, was also killed in the accident.

During the past year, Rick’s Diner, Pauly Dogs and Quenchers—three popular campus eateries—have each named a menu item after a few regular customers. “Tyler came in here on a Friday night... and told one of our third shift cooks, Jermaine, to make the biggest club sandwich he could,” said Vincent Brown, general manager of Rick’s Diner. “Tyler even set his own price for the sandwich—$20.” The way sophomore Tyler Wasieleski tells the story, he originally wanted a challenge to see which cook could make the better sandwich.

Workers struggle to reach quake victims by

Zarar Khan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan snow falling in parts ofKashmir, harried relief workers tried to reach remote areas on foot Thursday as the U.N.’s emergency relief chief warned time was running out for many survivors of South Asia’s massive

earthquake.

U.N. Undersecretary General and Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland flew by helicopter to the Kashmiri city of Muzaffarabad, where he said millions of people urgently needed food, medicine, shelter and blankets. The U.N. estimates two million people are homeless ahead of

the Himalayan region’s fierce winter. “I fear we are losing the race against the clock in the small villages” cut off by blocked roads, Egeland said. “I’ve never seen such devastation before. We are in the sixth day of operation, and every day the scale of devastation is getting wider.” The plea came after a 5.6-magnitude aftershock jolted parts of Pakistan early Thursday, forcing a rescue team to suspend efforts to save a trapped woman. She died before the rescuers returned to the precarious rubble. The quake death toll was more than 35,000, and tens of thousands were injured. India has reported more than 1,350

deaths in the part of disputed Kashmir that it controls. Carrying water, juice and milk, a relief team from Britain-based Plan International flew in a helicopter to villages in northern Mansehra district in North West Frontier Province and found death and misery. “The whole valley is smelling awfully,” said Dr. Irfan Ahmed, the aid group’s health adviser. “People were hungry and

Russian rebels kill at least 85 in attacks by

Fatima Tusova

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NALCHIK, Russia Militants attacked police and government buildings in Russia’s volatile Caucasus region Thursday, taking hostages and turning a provincial capital into a war zone wracked by gunfire and explosions that left at least 85 people dead, mostly insurgents. Chechen rebels claimed responsibility for the offensive in Nalchik, the capital of the mostly Muslim republic ofKabardinoBalkariya, as a new front opened in the Kremlin’s decade-old battle against Islamic

insurgents.

The rebels’ struggle against Russia, originally a separatist movement, increasingly has melded with Islamic extremism in the past decade and fanned out beyond Chechnya’s borders to encompass the entire Caucusus region. The insurgent strategy of simultaneous attacks on facilities in Nalchik, a city of 235,000, was similar to a rebel siege last year in another Caucasus republic, Ingushetia, in what appears to be an attempt to target areas outside Chechnya and keep Moscow off-balance. Kabardino-Balkariya is the fifth of seven republics in the mountainous region to be

hit by the spillover of violence from the struggle in Chechnya. The insurgents are trying to exploit tensions among a variety of ethnic groups in the impoverished region as well as native Muslims and the eth-

nic Russians, who are Christian. President Vladimir Putin, beleaguered by attacks that have killed hundreds of civilians and underscored his failure to bring the southern area under control, ordered a total blockade of Nalchik to prevent militants from slipping out. He told security forces to shoot any armed resisters.

The country's 48 million Social Security recipients are in line to get the biggest boost to their monthly benefit checks in more than a decade, though for many higher costs for energy and Medicare will eat up much of the gain. Many private economists predict the increase will be at least 3.6 percent

Delay records subpoenaed A Texas prosecutor subpoenaed the phone records Thursday for former House Majority Leader Tom Delay's home and campaign during the period he is accused of conspiring to launder illegal corporate donations to candidates.

Security raised for Iraqi vote Hundreds of Iraqi police and army, troops fanned out across Baghdad Thursday, setting up checkpoints and fortifying polling stations with barbed wire and blast barriers two days ahead of a historic constitutional referendum.

Bush talk with troops staged

It was billed as a conversation with U.S. troops, but the questions President George W. Bush asked on a teleconference call Thursday were choreographed to match his goals for the war in Iraq and Saturday's vote on a new Iraqi constitution.

Employee accuses prof of assault

NIAID gives $22.25M for new center by

Kelley Akhiemokhali THE CHRONICLE

Duke University Medical Center received funding Thursday from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to support a $22.25-million Center for Medical Countermeasures Against Radiation. The center is one of eight being established nationwide to address nuclear and biological terrorist threats. Dr. Nelson Chao, director of the Duke Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Program; Dr. Mark Dewhirst, professor of radiation oncology; and Dr. John Chute, associate professor of medicine, will jointly oversee the center. According to a DUMC statement, the new center’s goals are to create a quick, cost-effective screening test that measures an individual’s radiation exposure and cultivate new drugs that treat the effects of radiation. A main goal of the screening test is to reduce panic if a population is exposed to radiation by quickening the turn-around time for results. Faster screening would also help lessen radiation’s effects on the body. “The idea of sifting through these people is very important because the sooner we can detect radiation damage the sooner we can act and have the patient benefit from treatment,” Dewhirst said. The use of laser technology is also being researched as a possible method for detecting radiation, DUMC officials

explained.

The laser would measure changes in the brightness of a person’s tooth after gamma radiation exposure, which can happen after a nuclear explosion. Scientists are also developing blood tests that would detect gene mutations that can occur with radiation exposure. SEE CENTER ON PAGE 8

THE CHRONICLE

A pair of recent Duke graduates narrowly missed a $2-million grand prize Saturday, when robotic vehicles they helped design finished second and third in a race sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Twenty-three autonomous vehicles raced through a 131.2-milecourse in Nevada’s Mojave Desert for this year’s DARPA Grand Challenge. A team from Stanford University won the competition when its vehicle, a modified Volkswagen Touareg named Stanley, crossed the finish line after six hours and fifty-three minutes. Hot on Stanley’s tail were two Humvees customized by Carnegie Mellon University’s Red Team Racing, a squad that includes Josh Johnston and Jason

Ziglar, Pratt ’O5. The two began work on the automobiles’ radar sensors —systems essential for directing the driverless vehicles—in September 2004. At one point, 18 Duke students and two faculty advisers were involved in the creation of the radar device —called DROID, for “Duke Radar Object Identification Device.” They collaborated with Aaron Mosher, a Boeing Company engineer from Huntsville, Ala. Mosher wrote the code that permitted long-range communications with the unmanned vehicles. By mid-July, Johnston and Ziglar had put the finishing touches on the radar system and joined the rest of the Red Team in Pittsburgh to prepare for the race. They were trained as robot operators and SEE DARPA ON PAGE 6

Dr. Samuel Wells, professor of surgery for the Duke University School of Medicine, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge of simple assault. Because of the arrest, Wells was placed on administrative leave until further notice by the chair of the surgery department. Wells, 69, and a resident of Chapel Hill, is accused of grabbing the arm of a female Duke employee in frontof Hanes House as he attempted to restrain her from leaving on her way to work, according to the warrant and arrest report. The alleged victim called police to report the incident at 6:27 a.m. The police then escorted her to the magistrate’s office and served the warrant for arrest at approximately 12:30 p.m., said Leanora Minai, senior public relations specialist for Duke University Police Department. The relationship between Wells and his accuser and the circumstances surrounding the event are unknown, Minai noted. Wells was released from the Durham Magistrate’s Office on recognizance—meaning he was released without bail and will return for his court date, which is currently scheduled for Nov. 3. Dr. Dannyjacobs, chair of the surgery department at the School of Medicine, made the decision to place Wells on administrative leave shortly following the arrest, said Chris DiFrancesco, associate director of the medical center news office. DiFrancesco added that it is not clear how long Wells will be on administrative leave. Though there is no specific Duke University Medical Center policy for action SEE ASSAULT ON PAGE 9

Students in the Fuqua School of Business now have one more option when choosing where to study abroad. A new exchange program will allow them to study at Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management in Beijing, China. “The exchange program is designed to establish and maintain education interaction between the two schools,” Fuqua Dean Douglas Breeden said in a statement.

The exchange program will last for

least three academic years, allowing a maximum of three students from each school to travel to the partner institution each semester. Duke students in the new program will have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the burgeoning Asian business environment. “We hope it will give our students avenues in which they could study abroad and study different business practices in China,” said Natalie Thompson, assistant director of Fuqua’s International Center.

We were discussing a lot of our self goals and how we were feeling about stuff,” said Jean Foster, Pratt ‘O5 and a member of EWB who accompanied Brown on the trip. “I feel like I knew him and a lot of his goals in life, and they were very selfless.” Members of his selective house Wayne Manor are also sending letters to Brown’s family.

ranch dressing, Old Bay spice mix and yellow mustard—unofficially naming it The Andrew. When Andrew started getting The Andrew every day, the popularity of the new hot dog spread gradually until its addition to the menu at the beginning of the school year became inevitable. “I remember last year Pauly added potato salad to his toppings list, and then I just started putting stuff on it,” Godfrey said. “He called me one day during finals week and told me that he was going to put it on the menu.” Quenchers, the popular snack shop

among athletes in Wilson Gymnasium, has offered the Baseball Special smoothie—cookies and cream with peanut butter and protein powder—on its official menu since last year. “The baseball team gave me the idea of naming smoothies after sports teams,” said Jack Chao, manager of Quenchers. “When kids order a smoothie, it reminds them that there might be a game soon.” The soccer, lacrosse, tennis, track and field and water polo teams have each participated in naming new flavors. The teams will also get the honor of renaming the Chocolate Elvis smoothie. The new smoothies are available upon

request, but they will not appear on the official menu until next month. Like the smoothies, the Tyler sandwich is still a menu item only for those in the know—although patrons hope it will become a permanent addition to the menu. “The Tyler Sandwich came into existence the second week we opened back up after summer break,” said Vincent Brown. “The students are actually quite happy with it, and they ask for it a lot.” The sandwich, altered slightly from its original form, is now made with three slices of the customer’s choice of breads,

ham, turkey, roast beef, lettuce, tomato and cheese. No ordinary Club sandwich, The Tyler covers an entire plate and towers more than five inches in height. The price of the sandwich has since been set at $25. Sophomore Mark DellaVolpe learned of the sandwich on a visit to Rick’s with his roommate, sophomore Travis Nelson. “We saw a couple of people indulging in a sandwich, and it looked mighty fine,” DellaVolpe said. “So we asked them what it was, and they said it was a Tyler sandwich.” DellaVolpe and Nelson immediately ordered the sandwich and finished it with help from a couple ofother people. “I could have finished it myself ifI wanted to,” DellaVolpe said. “It was the most mind-blowing experience I’ve had at Duke.”

Police are uncertain about the number of people that were in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Evidence indicated that an unidentified person—presumably a female—who was sitting in the back seat of the car was bleeding, but the individual was not present at the scene. Police found a towel that was probably used to clean blood from a wound in the back of the car. The seats were also smeared with mud, which Sanders said had likely come from a mudwrestling party held at Devine’s Restaurant and Sports Bar Thursday night. “Alcohol was a factor in the accident,” Sanders said.

“We really wanted to add a program in Beijing, as well,” Thompson said. Tsinghua SEM is China’s largest MBA

program and was named “the most valuable MBA program in China” in 2003 and 2004 by China’s Fortune magazine. “If you look at the rankings of schools in China, Tsinghua is always the first or second. It is a really well-regarded school,” Wolf said. The program’s prospects are being met with as much enthusiasm at Tsinghua as they are at Duke.

After side-swiping three parked cars, the SUV’s driver headed to West Campus on only three wheels, as the right front tire had come off in the accident. The car had a Tennessee, license plate and a Duke plate on the front, leading officers to believe the driver and any passengers are students. Officers said they also found a female ID and a pair of women’s shoes in the back seat of the car. Police said they are following otherleads The car incurred significant damage from the accident—the windows on the right side and windshield were shattered, and the passenger side of the car was severely dented from bumper to bumper.

The expansion will also create more jobs; the Inn’s employees will increase from 215 to 325—a 52-percent jump.

Inn & Golf SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The renovation and expansion of theWashington Duke Inn

Golf Club's facilities and golf course took more than two years and cost approximately $25 million.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with... the addition of new employees to our team,” Randy Rolls, general manager of the Inn, said in a statement. Several students said they think the Inn’s new look makes the hotel even more appealing. Senior Suzette Meade said the renovations and expansion kept pace with the construction across the rest

of the University’s campus. “They put a lot of thought and time into the work,” she said. “It looks much classier.” Stephanie Chiu, a junior, said although she agrees the Inn looks nice, the changes have also caused some confusion. “I got really lost walking to brunch at Fairview because they changed all the entrances,” she said.

Since the Board of Trustees approved the project in 2003, University officials have said that the endeavor will prove prudent for Duke’s future. “This investment will allow the hotel to serve the growing needs of businesses and organizations from around the country and do so with style and grace,” Trask said in 2003.

Dewhirst also said the researchers’ findings could assist cancer patients. “The new information discovered is not stockpiled; it can also better cancer therapy,” he said. An education component is another aspect of the new center. “To train the next generation is really important,” Chao explained. Dewhirst said the center will allow scientists studying radiation to engage in inter-

are not radiation scientists, and this will increase their expertise in the field,” he said. “Likewise, [radiation scientists] can leam more from their respective areas.” Dewhirst noted that the center’s creation comes at a transitional moment in the study of radiation. “There is an ironic nature to the field because at first people were primarily concerned with radiation exposure due to bomb activity since it was in the midst of the Cold War,” he said. “Now, the new wave is thinking about bioterrorism.”

NIAID expects publically available products to arise from the center’s research. Though NIAID has not set a specific deadline, Chao said the center established a two-year deadline for deliverables. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University, University of Arkansas, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are will work in conjunction with the center at Duke in various research projects.

RUSSIA from page 2 Thursday’s fighting began about 8:30 a.m. Thursday after police launched an operation to capture about 10 militants in a Nalchik suburb. All 10 suspected militants were killed, Russian Deputy Interior Minister Alexander Chekalin said. Interfax cited an unidentified law enforcement official as saying fighting was sparked by an attempt by militants to free a group of detained adherents to the radical Wahhabi sect of Islam. Gunmen staged simultaneous attacks against three police stations, the city’s airport and the regional headquarters of the Interior Ministry and Federal Security Service in what appeared what appeared to be an effort to divert police. The attack at the airport was repelled, the facility was placed under military control and all flights were canceled, news reports said. The militants also attacked the regional headquarters of the Russian prison system, the Emergency Situation Ministry’s press office said. Interfax said a border guards’ office also came under attack. A teacher from School No. 5, who gave only his first name, Spartak, said children were evacuated from the building, near a police station and an anti-terrorism office at the center of the attacks. Black smoke billowed from the building as panic-stricken parents searched for their children in the schoolyard. Cars were overturned or gutted by gunfire, and Russian television footage showed the bloodied bodies of what appeared to be attackers in the streets. The ITAR-Tass news agency said that some rebels tried to escape the city in a van but crashed into a tree and were surrounded and killed. The heavy fighting quieted down after about six hours, though sporadic gunfire continued. Early Friday, security forces freed an unspecified number of police officers held hostage at a police station and stormed a souvenir store in search of other rebel holdouts, the regional president’s press service said. ITAR-Tass said there were three rebels in the store near the regional headquarters of the Federal Security Service and they were holding two hostages. Deputy Interior Minister Andrei Novikov said late Thursday that 61 militants were killed, some from Kabardino-Balkariya and some from other republics in the Russian Caucasus. Russian and regional officials said 12 civilians and 12 police officers were killed.

McClure to Battered offense awaits Georgia Tech redshirt with knee injury Lane Towery THE CHRONICLE

From staff reports Men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski confirmed Wednesday on his XM Radio show, “Basketball and Beyond with Coach K,” that sophomore David McClure will redshirt the 2005-06 season. The forward had surgery on his left knee at the Duke University Medical Center May 12 to repair an Osteochondral lesion on his patella. McClure averaged 1.7 points and 1.4 rebounds per game in his freshman campaign. McClure was originally injured in Duke ! s 75-66 loss against Marylandjan. 26 and underwent surgery midseason to remove a loose body in the knee. The thenfreshman sat out seven games and returned to the court with minimal pain. Doctors determined, however, that without off-season surgery he would be at a high risk for developing arthritis.

After undergoing left knee surgery in May, Dave McClure will take a medical redshirt this season.

Blue Devils earn high seeds for regional tournament by

Curtis Lane

THE CHRONICLE

The women’s tennis team, looking to build on its strong performance at last weekend’s All-American Tournament, began play yesterday at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Southeast Women’s Regional Championships. The regional tournament is being held at North Carolina’s Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. Senior Lauren Archer and junior Parker Coyer both won their first matches in the qualifying portion of the tournament but lost their second matches Thursday, failing to advance to the main draw. Several Blue Devils, however, earned bids to the singles main draw, which will begin today at 8 a.m. Duke has four players seeded in the tournament’s top nine, including fourth-seeded Jackie Carleton and fifth-seeded Clelia Deltour. “The number of high seeds that we have just shows the depth of our team,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “It shows that, in our region, we can have a good showing and hopefully gain a mental edge going into the spring season. This tournament is a good opportunity to show our depth. I really think that all seven of our singles players could make the quarterfinals.” Freshman Jessi Robinson and junior Jennifer Zika each earned ninth seeds, while freshmen Melissa Mang and Tara Iyer, and junior Kristin Cargill will all also compete for the Blue Devils in the singles portion of the tournament.

Several Blue Devil pairs also earned high seeds in the doubles draw. Junior UCLA transfer Daniela Bercek and Robinson are the top seed in the dou-

earned the sixth seed in the tournament and will play East Tennessee State’s Olya Batsula and Tara Byrne. “They were in the top 35 last year and only played in a few matches,” Ashworth said of the Cargill and Carleton pairing. “They could have easily been in the top 15 or 20 if they had played more together.” Also playing today will be the teams of Mang and Zika, Deltour and Iyer and Archer and Coyer. Archer and Coyer rebounded from their singles losses Thursday to win their first-round doubles match, 8-0, against the team of Ashley Heard and Nazli Kutuk from Charleston Southern. The pair now has a tough draw having to face Kentucky’s second-seeded pair, Rim Coventry and Joelle Schwenk. Deltour and Iyer also won their first-round match Thursday, 8-3. In yesterday’s singles qualifying action, Archer lost her first set of the day but battled back and won her first-round match against Kentucky’s Caroline Winebrenner, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. Slowed by a back injury in the round of 16, Archer played another threeset match but fell to North Carolina’s Laura Reichert, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. In her first-round match, Goyer defeated Charlotte’s Kathy Robey, 6-4, 6-4, and also advanced to the round of 16. In her second match, Goyer met North Carolina’s Alex Jurewicz, whom she beat at the UNC Invitational last November, 6-3, 6-4. This time, however, Goyer fell to Jurewicz, 6-4, 6-4.

Although the No. 6 Blue Devils hold an 11-10-2 edge in the all-time series with the unranked Terps, Duke has lost seven of its last nine against Maryland (4-8-2, 2-3-1), including last year’s 1-0 overtime loss in College Park, Md. “Maryland is a team that always give us trouble,” head coach Robbie Church said. “They are a very hardworking team. Last year we really outplayed them at their place but we lost 1-0 in overtime. It was a very disappointing loss.” To continue their win streak, the Blue Devils will have to score against the Terrapins’ junior goalkeeper Nikki Resnick, who leads the ACC with 6.0 saves per game. She had 14 saves against UNC Oct. 1,and it was her six-save performance that kept Duke scoreless last year in its loss to Maryland. “Resnick is a very good goalkeeper,” Church said. “She robbed us a couple times last year.

Running back Ronnie Drummer (40) will be aided by the return of Justin Boyle from an injury that kept him out ofDuke's 52-7 loss to Miami Oct. 8.

Tech boasts the ACC’s most productive wide receiver, Calvin Johnson, as well as threats in quarterback Reggie Ball and running back RJ. Daniels. “They got a great receiver, one of the best in the country, they’ve got a quarterback who’s got some mobility and throws the deep ball well, and they’ve got a running back who ran for over 1,400 yards last year,” Roof said. “It’s not like they’re one dimensional.” With so much working against them, the Blue Devils enter Saturday’s contest with one advantage a unique connection with this Georgia Tech team. Roof was an allACC linebacker for the Yellow Jackets and was an assistant coach at his alma mater before coming to Duke. In all, four members of Duke’s coaching staff have previous coaching experience at Georgia Tech, including offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien and assistant head coach Glenn Spencer, who was Roofs roommate at Georgia Tech. Also, 17 of Duke’s current players hail from the state of Georgia. “We’ve all got a lot of pride and a lot of drive,” Roof said. ‘You like to beat your neighbor.” Two years ago, the Blue Devils accomplished that task, as they upset the Yellow Jackets 41-17 snapping a 30-game ACC losing streak and giving Roof his first victory as Duke’s head coach. With Georgia Tech currently on a two-game skid and unranked for the first time in six weeks, Boyle explained that confidence is high. “[The enthusiasm has] been awesome,” he said. “I think it’s been one of our best weeks.”

CHANG/THE CHRONICLE

Dan Colelia will replace Bob Thompson as head coach of the swimming program, hoping to lift Duke to new heights in the ACC.

SWIMMING from page 11 Colelia said. “The girls’ team has not won a dual meet since 1993. We want to move up in the ranks, closer to the middle of the pack. We’re going to take it day by day, week by week, focus on the basics, establish good foundations and keep our sights on the end of the season.” Having come from a program that offers scholarships, Colella accepted the Duke job knowing he would face obstacles because the Blue Devils currently do not have any swimmers on scholarship. In addition, he will be in charge of both the women’s and men’s programs, an opportunity he gladly welcomes. “It is great to be working with an administration that wants to excel and really cares about the athletes. They recognize athletes aren’t machines and that the girls should have a great experience at Duke.” The men’s and women’s swimming teams will compete in its first dual meet of the season against William & Mary and N.C. State Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Wilson Aquatic Center.

high recruiting season of summer, his assistant coaches can lure excellent players, but a full year is too difficult to rebound from. If Krzyzewski coaches Team USA, it could have added benefits for Duke, too. It would raise the profile ofDuke’s program and would further enhance Krzyzewski’s reputation. Some of the heightened publicity would also occur during quiet periods ofrecruiting and could give Duke a slight boost. The job is too good for Krzyzewski to turn down, and he should go. But he probably won’t reveal his decision until the announcement is official, and who knows when that will be.

The mechanism by which this segregation occurs is described in a very simple model created by Thomas Schelling.

This result has implication for campus debate and administrative policy. Firstly, because it is normal for people to prefer to be friends with others who share their upbringing, traditions and culture, some form of on-campus segregation is inevitable. This means that it is fruitless to lay the blame for “self-segregation” on campus on any single group. If one group dominates a bench, it is only in contrast to another group that dominates another bench. The reason that one group is “self-segregated” is at least in part due to the fact that every other group is

tion and Duke Student Government are very limited in the

manner in which they can decrease “self-segregation.” A lot of mechanisms already in place have the effect of keeping segregation in check. These mechanisms include but are not limited to: an all-freshman East Campus, the randomized housing lottery and multicultural organizations and events. Any more intervention by the administration into campus social life would be unjustifiably intrusive and would most likely do nothing to ease the problem. The student body needs to determine what level of splintering among ethnic, racial and cultural lines is acceptable. Then it needs to evaluate how close Duke is to the acceptable level. Only when nthere is some consensus on these levels can action be taken. After all, there is a very real possibility that the level of “selfsegregation” at Duke is perfectly natural and acceptable.

commentaries

A not-so-red October said: “Son, don’t you grow up to be a Boston fan. Those teams will break your heart.” And as I watched him turn the television off with the most melancholic sigh, I suspected that he might never watch the Red Sox again Of course, within just a few months, my father—his heart mended and his faith restored— again reassumed his seaboston cote sonal vigil, watching the the naked truth team he had grown up loving and hating and loving once more try to “reverse the curse.” My dad’s fatherly advice about guarding my heart echoed the words of Bart Giamatti, the 7th commissioner of Major League Baseball, and an ardent Red Sox aficionado. “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, you rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then, justwhen the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.” Having lived in New England his entire life, dear old dad is more than familiar with the Curse of the Bambino and the Sox’s uncanny ability to lose even when winning seems as inevitable as the morning sunrise. In fact, for the better part of the last century, Einstein’s Theory of Relatively mathematically confirmed that E-mc u next season, where E=October in Boston. Yet, all ofNew England would awaken each spring with a renewed and starry-eyed faith in the Boys from Boston. As the weeks slipped by, the congregation of the Fenway Faithful would breathlessly hang by radios and televisions, religiously praying “you gotta believe.” Pilgrimages to Fenway were planned so devotees could fill the stands and lend their fervent support to the team they adored. Others would listen to theirradios or turn on their TVs as those Boys ofSummer made it seem oh-so-certain that this just had to be “the year.” By September, speculation abouthow far the Sox could go would be all-pervasive and all-consuming. The mere whisper of the delicious words “World Series” would tickle tongues, flutter hearts and send the most superstitious reeling. But then it would happen. It. The big and terrible “It.” Boston would somehowfall apart in the clutch and then the dream would be over. Radiosand televisions would again be flicked off, and begrudged Bostonians would sheepishly file home with their hats tucked a little lower on their brow, having resolved to avoid speaking with Yankee fans and New Yorkers in general. Hopes and hearts in hand, they’d spend the winter watching football and wait for the spring. Then, on one spectacularly magical day in October of 2004, “It” never happened. Boston had won, the curse had been broken, and a “new dynasty” was (hastily) proclaimed—much to the chagrin of the Yankees, and much to the dismay of those poor, poor Cubbies But alas, there was to be no double dipping in the nacho cheese dish of consecutive Red Sox World Series

appearances. It’s only early October, and I’ve already washed, folded and stored my lucky Red Sox shirt It’s the one I wear when Boston plays a weekend series against a heated (and hated)

rival. It’s the one I refuse to watch a Sox game without wearing. And it’s the one that, during the playoffs, I won’t wash until after the Sox end their season. For now it sits in the dark recesses ofmy bureau, waiting like the Punxsutawney Phil of baseball for the light of spring. But, I suppose, this not-so-red October shall also pass. Then after football, spring will come, and it’ll all begin again. The ability to deal with life’s unavoidable disappointments makes Sox followers such great fans of Boston baseball. Very much in the same way that my dad refers to me as his son because he was (jokingly?) devastated when he found out that I was a girl and now just pretends that it didn’t happen that way—the same is true for all of the Red Sox Nation. Sometimes things don’t work out as anticipated. And maybe despite that, or even because of it, you wind up loving it so much more.
