Men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Fuqua School of Business hosted various business officialsfor the 4th AnnualCoach K Leadership Conference Tuesday.

The fourth annual Fuqua School of Business and Coach K Leadership Conference kicked off Monday night and is bringing business leaders and basketball fans alike to Duke for the next two days.

Men’s basketball head coach Krzyzewski and the Fuqua Center of Leadership Ethics collaborate to put on the sold-out event. Thirty leaders from business, sports, government and nonprofit organizations are slated to speak about ethics in the workplace.

This year’s theme, “Organizational Community: Cultivating shared purpose, ownership and success,” is expected to attract more than 300 participants committed to leadership development. They come from diverse industry and functional backfinance, grounds—including sales, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and marketing. Notable speakers include NCAA President Myles Brand, former U.S. Ambassador to South Africa James Joseph, Harvard Business Review Editor Thomas Stewart and CNN anchor Judy Woodruff.

“The theme of this conference is about teamwork and making each other better,” Coach K said at the opening night’s event. “Let’s be on the

same team. That’s the only way you’ll be able to get the full effeet of the conference.”

Krzyzewski said it is important for the attendees to form a community while at the conference, “Take that feeling back to your team and form an even better community,” he said.

While the athletic theme certainly attracted many avid basketball fans, participants were also drawn to the conference to learn how to develop ethics in their own companies, “Ethical leadership is so important in today’s world, and this conference helps the outside world recognize Duke University as a place where people can come to develop that ethical leadership,” Sanyin Siang, managing director and senior research associate for COLE, said, James Quigley, CEO of Deloltte & Touche USA, gave Mon-

According to the report, nine bicycles were stolen on campus from Friday to Sunday, in locations ranging from the Fuqua School ofBusiness to residence halls on East and West campuses.

“It appears as if someone was literally going shopping, going from campus to campus,” said Leanora Minai, senior public relations specialist for DUPD. Minai said several of the bikes were locked with a cable lock, which she noted are easy to break with bolt cutters. A few of the bikes, however, were not secured “If students want their bike, they should

use an ounce of prevention or risk losing a

$1,500 bike,” Minai said. “Thieves know what to look for, and they’re looking for easy targets.”

Among the bicycles taken, brands include Gary Fisher, Schwinn, Hardrock and Kona. They were valued between $lOO and $1,500 each.

Minai said the stolen bikes might be sold to pawn shops or on local streets.

“Sometimes [the thieves] just use them, it just depends really,” she said.

Peter Wyman, a freshman in Jarvis Dormitory, reported his mountain bike stolen. It is valued at $l,OOO. “My first reaction was disbelief,” Wyman said, noting that his bike was secured with a chain. “I feel kind of ripped 0ff.... I guess maybe it was a little naive to feel like I could leave my bike out and it wouldn’t be stolen.”

Iraq investigates voting outcome by

Lee Keath

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraq’s election commission announced Monday that officials were investigating “unusually high” numbers of “yes” votes in about a dozen provinces during Iraq’s landmark referendum on a new constitution, raising questions about irregularities in the balloting.

Word of the review came as Sunni Arab leaders repeated accusations of voter fraud after initial reports from the provinces suggested the constitution had passed. Among their allegations were that police took ballot boxes from heavily “no” districts, that some “yes” areas had more votes than reg-

istered voters and that supporters of the charter were allowed to vote in crucial provinces where they do not live.

The Electoral Commission made no mention of fraud, and an official with knowledge of the election process cautioned that it was too early to say whether the unusual numbers were actually incorrect or whether they would have an effect on the outcome.

But questions about the numbers raised tensions over Saturday’s referendum, which has already sharply divided Iraqis. Most of the Shiite majority and theKurds—the coalition which controls the government —support the charter, while most Sunni Arabs sharply opposed a document they fear will

tear Iraq to pieces and leave them weak and out of power.

The main electoral batdegrounds were provinces with mixed populations, two of which went strongly “yes.” There were conflicting reports whether those two provinces were among thosewith questionable figures.

In new violence, the U.S. military said that its warplanes and helicopters bombed two western villages Sunday, killing an estimated 70 militants near a site where five American soldiers died in a roadside blast.

CIA leak notes found to be inaccurate by

John Solomon

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Information attributed to Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff in New York Times reporter Judith Miller’s interview notes is incorrect, offering prosecutors a potential lead to tracking the bad information to its original source.

Miller disclosed this weekend that her notes of a conversation she had with I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby on July 8, 2003 stated Cheney’s top aide told her that the wife of Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson worked for the ClA’s Weapons Intelli-

gence, Non-Proliferation, and Arms Control (WINPAC) unit.

Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, never worked for WINPAC, an analysis unit in the overt side of the CIA, and instead worked in a position in the ClA’s secret side, known as the directorate of operations, according to three people familiar with her work for the spy agency.

The three all spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the current secrecy requirements of Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s grand jury investigation into the leak of Flame’s identity in 2003 to the media.

The revelation came as President George W. Bush weighed in Monday by declining to say what he would do if one of his aides were indicted in the investigation, and the Pentagon looked into Miller’s claim that she was granted a security clearance in 2003 while reporting with a military unit during the Iraq war.

Libby previously testified to the grand jury and it is not known whether he provided the information about WINPAC during his testimony.

Activists sound off on West Bank wall Denis Dupee THE CHRONICLE

by

A traveling duo representing the nonviolent struggle against what they view as the Israeli occupation ofPalestinian territory addressed a room of students and other community members on campus

Monday night.

The speakers and friends, Jonathan

Poliak, an Israeli, and Ayed Morrar, a Palestinian, spoke in support of their nonviolent stance against the Israeli construction of a wall separating the West Bank from Israel. Both men are leaders in nonviolent demonstrations against Israeli occupation and have been imprisoned for their work.

Poliak began with his interpretation of modem Israeli history through the initiation of the construction of a wall separating the West Bank from Israel in 2002.

The wall is nine meters high and stretches 385 miles, Poliak said. Denouncing the barrier as an “apartheid wall,” he claimed it violates international law, adds a significant portion of land as well as key water supplies to Israel and is an “environmental catastrophe.”

“It is a blatant example of segregation marketed as self-defense,” Poliak said, denying the Israeli government’s logic that “good fences make good neighbors.”

Construction on the wall has continued despite the International Court of Justice’s 2004 ruling that it violates international law. Poliak said the wall is strategically designed to incorporate Jewish settlements located in Palestinian territories into Israel and to weaken the Palestinians politically by dividing them into segmented sections.

“The wall is used as a means of ethnic cleansing,” he said, adding that 500,000 —

the construction of the wall.

Morrar described the difficulty the wall poses in the timely transport of produce to market and people to work or to school. Because the wall now separates his home from his Ramallah workplace, Morrar passes through two military checkpoints twice daily. He said there are more than 700 checkpoints where it is forbidden to look Israeli soldiers in the eyes.

“It’s dehumanizing,” he said.

Both men stressed the need for nonviolence. While advocating this, they cited that more than three times as many Palestinians as Israelis have been killed in recent years.

Though he did not find it effective or advisable, Poliak added that it was legitimate to use arms to defend one’s homeland from SEE SPEAKERS ON PAGE 8

In their Duke careers, students frequently fill out surveys about how they eat, work and play.

But students aren’t the only ones being asked to evaluate their living and working conditions.

In Spring 2005, an online faculty survey—conducted by the Office of Institutional Research and the Faculty Diversity Standing Committee—allowed all Duke professors to rate a series of areas related to teaching, research and overall University climate.

A total of 1,184people responded to the survey—55 percent ofall eligible faculty.

Committees are currently working to analyze the data collected from the survey, and they hope to release the results later this fall or in early spring. Areas that are found in need of improvement will be reported to the administration or Academic Council, which will work to generate changes.

“We do think there’s probably quite a bit more we could do to enhance climate at the University that will help us maintain an excellent faculty and recruit younger people,” said Dr. Nancy Allen, special assistant to the provost for faculty diversity and faculty development.

At the Graduate and Professional Student Council Community Forum meeting Monday night, students aired their concerns about parking on campus and general assembly members continued to debate a proposed student fee increase that would help pay for GPSC-sponsored events.

The forum, which was the first of its kind that GPSC has hosted this semester, consisted of an open discussion among all interested graduate and professional students about their parking concerns.

Ticketing was the first issue raised. One student complained of getting a parking citation when “there were no signs saying that the lot was going to be closed.” In response to this and similar complaints, Community Affairs Coordinator Heather Dean suggested that students sign up to receive e-mails

about parking. “There is a mailing list that you can sign up for to receive news and announcements about parking, but unfortunately it’s not well-utilized,” said Dean, a graduate student in neurobiology.

Others complained that the Duke campus simply lacks parking space. Dean attributed the apparent decrease in available space to a new policy. “To encourage building they revoked the rule that the parking space taken up by new buildings must be replaced,” she explained. “So parking kind of eats it when new buildings go up.”

When one student asked about plans for parking expansion, Ombudsperson Megan McCrudden said administrators have been slow to start such projects.

In a heated meeting that lasted four and a half hours Monday night, City Council members and Durham residents gathered to discuss issues including property rights, housing, transportation and safety.

The subject of eminent domain authority—an issue that has gained national recognition recently with the Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London—dominated the first part of the meeting. Eminent domain authority is the process by which the government can take away private property without the owner’s consent if the property is taken for “public use.”

your organization together. We have a shared value, a commitment to each other and when we demonstrate that shared value in a very tangible way, it has graduated from being some lofty word on a page.”

This year’s conference theme was chosen because of the high-profile corporate scandals within the past few years, organizers said. “.Although ethical leadership has always been important, the business world is beginning to recognize just how important building and having ethical leadership in a company is,” Siang said. “The indicators for a company’s success and ability to prevail are based not only on functional areas, like marketing and accounting. It is also based on how many leaders you have, what type of leaders you have and the core value system that company has.”

She also added that ethical leadership is necessary in building organizational community.

Since the conference was started in 2002, the program has diversified its selection of speakers, in terms of both gender and race, and the number of attendees has increased. “[This year], we have the most diverse conference ever, and we are going to continue to increase that,” Siang said.

Lawrence Adair, a retired General in the U.S. Army plans to speak today about ethics, building community and using the military as a metaphor for community.

notes, former federal prosecutors and in-

vestigators said the incorrect information provides a significant lead for Fitzgerald and FBI agents to follow. It could suggest Libby thought Flame was not an undercover spy, and therefore couldn’t have knowingly revealed her occupation, or that he got his information from uninformed sources, they said.

“The fact that the information is inaccurate may make it of even greater interest to the grand jury than accurate information,” said Lance Cole, former Democratic counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee and now a law professor at Penn State Dickinson School of law.

“Accurate information presumably can come from any number of sources. If he got it from a particular document or in a meeting and that document or notes of that meeting are the only place that the inaccuracy is present, then that establishes the source,” Cole said.

Danny Coulson, a former top FBI official who conducted several investigations of leaks, said the possibility that Libby passed on wrong information to a reporter may indicate he didn’t get his information from a credible, official source.

“What it tells me is he probably got his information from dinner talk,” Coulson said. Presidential aides “had access to the official information and if they had used that, you would think they would have had the right stuff.”

Even if Libby or other White House aides did not knowingly reveal Flame’s covert identity, the prosecutor could consider other charges such as the mishandling of classified information, false statements and obstruction of justice, lawyers have said.

University’s Division of Student Affairs and the Duke University Medical Center’s Department of Community and Family Medicine.

After two lengthy national searches conducted by an outside firm, Purdy was selected from a pool of candidates to serve as executive director. Purdy had previously worked as the medical director for Student Health.

Following Christmas’ retirement and during the nearly 18-month search process, Student Health had an interim structure of a triumvirate of directors—a medical director, an administrative director and a director of health promotion and outreach. The executive director now guides the other three directors.

As executive director, Purdy’s primary responsibility is to oversee the medical care of the Duke student body through clinical work and health promotion, “This is a new position, so, day by day, we are trying to figure out what it’s all about,” he said.

As Purdy took on the new responsibility, Olson was hired to fill the vacant medical director position, which has oversight over the clinical aspect of Student Health. Olson has worked for Duke Student Health for several years and has specialized training in the area of sports medicine.

Franca Alphin, who worked as a dietician at Duke for many years, was named the director of health promotion and health education. Before Purdy’s hiring, Alphin was interim director of this area of

Student Health “Franca is in charge of the peer educators and the promotional aspects of health on the Duke campus,” Purdy said.

Karen Haith is Student Health’s newest nurse practitioner. A variety of factors contributed to determining her eligibility for the position, Purdy said.

“Karen has a lot of experience in the outpatient clinic and a real interest in taking care of people around the ages of 17 to 35,” Purdy said. “We like to get people who have had experience in the medical field for several years and who like to take care of people in this age range.”

Purdy said Student Health is in the “final stages” of searching for a new halftime physician.

“Hopefully, we’re looking to have someone start on the first of January,” Purdy said.

Although several structural changes have been made to Duke Student Health, programmatic changes have yet to be im-

plemented.

“We have just been moving people around, but we haven’t started to figure out where Student Health ought to go from here,” said Dr. Lloyd Michener, chair of the department of community and fam-

ily medicine.

Both Purdy and Michener said student input will be an important part of this process.”We would like to make sure that we are providing the services not only that [students] need, but also the services that they want,” Purdy said.

He added that although the Student Health Advisory Committee is currently comprised of graduate students, he encourages undergraduate students to get in-

REPORT from page 3 The survey spanned general inquiries about professors’ satisfaction with various aspects of their jobs, including teaching accommodations, professional responsibilities and rank. It also probed deeper into the faculty’s opinions about quality of life issues, personal respect, research resources and availability of utilities for families and children.

The survey was made available in April to all regular-ranked faculty in the Trinity College ofArts and Sciences, the Pratt School of Engineering, all the professional schools and Duke University Medical Center.

Warren Grill, associate professor of biomedical engineering, was among those that filled out the survey last semester. “I remember thinking at the time that it was a worthwhile exercise,” he said.

Not all professors, however, found the

impossible.”

Katherine Ewing, associate professor of cultural anthropology, said she feels like the overall work environment in her department is handled well—although some aspects could be improved.

“Sometimes there are maybe too many committee demands, and the laudable goal of increasing interdisciplinarity means that faculty and departments that participate actively in that are stretched quite thin sometimes—so it’s quite hard to do everything,” Ewing said.

She added that certain committees,

tory, asked Morrar and Poliak to comment on an article written by Huwaida Arrafand Adam Shapiro of the International Solidarity Movement, the group that sponsored the duo’s trip to the United States.

The article recommended that both violent and nonviolent means be employed to effectively support the Palestinian cause.

A student from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill also questioned where the speakers stood on terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Both men

Other faculty members said they are pleased with the general climate and working atmosphere at the University.

“I’ve felt very positively about the administration and the way they treat faculty and the way they try to promote interaction between faculty,” Associate Professor ofWomen’s Studies Kathi Weeks said.

The online survey was the first assessment of its kind that Duke has conducted.

The selection committee researched similar assessment tools at other universities before deciding on one based on a survey used at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“We looked at a number of survey instruments and chose the MIT survey because there was good overlap on these elements of interest, because they appeared

“It is important to have both Israeli and Palestinian perspectives on the issue,” he said.

Hiwar, a Duke student group dedicated to Middle Eastern and North African issues, was also a campus sponsor.

Many of the concerns the survey addressed, however, were inspired by issues broached by the Faculty Diversity Task Force and the Women’s Faculty Development Task Force.

The task forces cited faculty climate as a frequent point of contention among women and underrepresented minorities on campus—a concern the survey committee expects to see reflected in the data.

But committee members said they are also optimistic about the survey results.

“It sort of goes in waves and cycles,” Minai said.

Wyman said the police officer who was dispatched to help him told him not to get his hopes up about his bicycle being recovered.

Minai noted that police sometimes recover the bikes from pawn shops or receive tips that lead them to the stolen items.

“We ask that anyone who sees someone hanging around the racks or checking out the locks who doesn’t seem to belong to

call the police department right away,” Minai said.

She added that students can take several safety precautions when securing their bikes, such as connecting bicycles to racks with steel, U-shaped locks. Also, students should not lock bikes to light poles, blue light telephones or stairway handrails.

Students should also take time to remove their bikes’ front wheels and lock both the wheels and the frames together with U-locks if the wheels are quick-release.

Minai noted students should also not keep anything valuable on their bikes.

Duke’s Parking and Transportation Services also encourages students to register bicycles with their office.

checked. The electoral commission said it needed “a few more days” to produce final results, citing the need for the audit.

At Baghdad’s counting center, elections workers cut open transparent and sealed plastic bags full of tally sheets sent from stations in the capital and its surroundings—the only ones to have arrived so far.

Nearby, more workers, dressed in white Tshirts and caps bearing the elections commission’s slogan, sat behind computer screens punching in the numbers.

Election officials in many provinces have released their initial counts, indicating that Sunni attempts to defeat the charter failed and that it was adopted.

But the Electoral Commission said Monday that the number of “yes” votes in most provinces appeared “unusually high” and would be audited, with random samples taken from ballot boxes to test them.

The high numbers were seen among the nine Shiite provinces of the south and the three Kurdish ones in the north, Adil al-Lami, head of the commission, told The Associated Press.

Those provinces reported to AP “yes” votes above 90 percent, with some as high as 97 and 98 percent.

Al-Lami insisted the votes in two crucial provinces with mixed Sunni, Shiite and Kurd populations—Ninevah and Diyala—were not among those that appeared unusual, saying their results “were reasonable and balanced according to the nature of the population in those areas.”

But the official with knowledge of the

counting process said the unexpected results were not isolated to the Shiite and Kurdish provinces and were “all around the country.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the count.

The provinces of the Shiite and Kurdish heartlands in the north and south were expected to vote strongly in favor of the constitution, since most of them have only minimal Sunni Arab populations.

But Ninevah and Diyala were electoral battlegrounds, since Sunni opponents needed them to veto the constitution. Sunnis had to get a two-thirds “no” vote in any three of Iraq’s 18 provinces to defeat the charter, and they appeared to have gotten it in western Anbar and central Salahuddin, both heavily Sunni.

Ninevah and Diyala were therefore key, but results reported by provincial electoral officials showed startlingly powerful “yes” votes of up to 70 percent in each.

Allegations of fraud in those areas could throw into question the final outcome. Questions of whether the strong reported “yes” votes there are complicated by the fact that Iraq has not had a proper census in some 15 years, meaning the sectarian balance is not firmly known.

A prominent Sunni Arab politician, Saleh al-Mutlaq, claimed both had seen fraud. He said he was told by the manager of a polling station in a Kurdish district of Diyala that39,000 votes were cast although only 36,000 voters were registered there.

If the constitution indeed passed, the first full-term parliament since Saddam Hussein’s fall in 2003 will install a new government by Dec. 31 following Dec. 15 elections. If the charter failed, the parliament will be temporary, tasked with drawing up a new draft constitution.

THE

Saturday’s instant classic between USC and Notre Dame was one of the greatest games I have ever seen, and I only saw the highlights.

Everything about the game screamed “one for the ages.” There was the No. 1 team riding a 27-game win streak, the storied Fighting Irish returning to glory, a 75-yard game-ending touchdown drive, an incredible fourth-down conversion, a freak fumble that stopped the clock with seven seconds left and a daring quarterback sneak to win.

The game also made an announcement, in case you didn’t get the first 100 memos—the nation’s two best players, quarterback MattLeinart and all-purpose back Reggie Bush, don the cardinal and gold. Their performances did not answer one question, however, a question normally reserved for Mel Riper, Jr. Which one would you take with the number one pick in the NFL draft?

In trying to figure this out, let’s throw away the variables of a team’s personnel needs, ticket sales and trades. Let’s assume that your team needs to select the best player it can find, the one who will have the biggest impact in the NFL and lead his team to the most victories.

For many Duke fans, the gloating from the Tar Heel faithful was already oppressive. After all, the defending national champions had only secured scout.com’s best point guard, shooting guard, and two frontcourt players ked among the narecruiting ran lion’s top 100 prospects analysis in the class of 2006.

Unfortunately, however, that gloating went from oppressive to unbearable when the Nashville Tennessean reported Sunday that power forward Brandan Wright, one of the nation’s top five prospects, shocked the recruiting world and joined the Tar Heels’ already impressive class. Arguably the Blue Devil’s top target, Wright chose the Tar Heels over Kentucky, Vanderbilt and, of course, Duke.

“I was surprised because I thought that North Carolina would have been the fourth school on that four-team list,” said Dave Telep, scout.com recruiting analyst. “I think the people who knew the Brandan Wright recruitment were generally taken back.”

For head coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke coaching staff, it’s back to the drawing board to find an athletic frontcourt player to round out the Blue Devils’ class of 2006.

tion in the field.

There are, however, some exceptions to the rule, with senior forward Kate Seibert being one of them. Seibert played her first three years at Duke as a defender, leading the Blue Devil’s solid defense and netting numerous goals from the back. As one of the top scoring defenders in the nation, the Downington, Pa. native earned third-team All-American honors her sophomore year.

But with the addition of freshmen defenders Kelly Hathora and Kelly McCann this season, Seibert has been given the chance to move up to forward to try and increase her goal scoring opportunities and foster her acute playmaking abilities.

“It’s fun, it’s a bit different mosdy just because I’m used to playing with people in the back,” Seibert said. “Going up top I have to get acclimated to different people’s style of play. But I have played up top many times before college.”

Seibert’s experience at all positions on the field is a trait she says has contributed to her great versatility as a player.

“I’ve always been moving around a lot,” Seibert said. “This is the first year I’ve been totally out of the back, though.”

At her new position, the tri-captain has netted two goals—both were game-winners —and has added another three assists.

She currendy stands tied for third on the team with seven points.

In addition to dealing with the challenges of playing a new position, Seibert has had to overcome a preseason ankle injury, which required surgery and kept her out of the first five games of the season. But a focused Seibert came back from her injury even stronger, training herself physically and

Cardinals stave off elimination with 3-run blast by

Mike Fitzpatrick

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON They were perched atop the dugout steps, ready to race onto the field for a wild celebration.

Only one out to go for the Houston Astros to reach their first World Series. Only one problem—it was Albert Pujols.

And with one mighty swing, Pujols saved St. Louis by hitting a stunning three-run homer off Brad Lidge in the ninth innin g the Cardinals ralCT l m lie *-VJUi j I c 5 li ecl for a 5.4 victory Monday MARK COWAN/ICON night in Game 5 of the NL chamHOUSTON Albert Pujols hit the game-winning home run with two outs in the ninth inning to liftthe Cardinals past theAstros, 5-4, in Game 5 of the NLCS. pionship series.

“I just couldn’t believe I did it,” Pujols said. “Couldn’t be better than this.”

Pujols’ shot over the train tracks high above the leftfield wall sent the series back to St. Louis for Game 6 Wednesday night, with Mark Mulder set to face Houston’s Roy Oswalt. The Cardinals also staved off the wrecking ball at Busch Stadium, scheduled for demolition as soon as their season is over.

One strike from ecstasy before David Eckstein’s ninthinning single, the Astros dropped to an agonizing 0-5 with a chance to clinch the NLCS. One moment, Minute Maid Park was buzzing. The next, it was silent.

“It was devastating. We thought we were going to the World Series. We were there,” Lance Berkman said. “Obviously, it was a high to a low, and it wasn’t much fun.”

After winning pitcher Jason Isringhausen closed it with two innings of scoreless relief, shocked fans filed quietly out of the ballpark.

They came to see something they had never seen before, their hometown heroes advancing to the World Series. Instead, they saw another kind of history.

It was only the second time in postseason history that a team facing eliminationand trailing in the ninth inning hit a go-ahead home run, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The other was Dave Henderson’s homer for Boston off the Angels’ Donnie Moore in Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS. Berkman’s three-run homer in the seventh off Chris Carpenter gave Houston a 4-2 lead, sending the crowd into a deafening roar, and the Astros appeared ready to wrap up this NLCS rematch They put their fate in Lidge’s normally sure hands. But, trying for his fourth straight save in the series, he couldn’t come through.

“This is a bump in the road, but there’s no way this is going to get anybody down,” Lidge said. “This will sting a lot tonight, but when I wake up tomorrow I’ll be ready to go” After Lidge retired his first two batters in the ninth, the pesky Eckstein grounded a single to left on a 1-2 pitch. Jim Edmonds worked out a walk and Pujols, who had failed to deliver with runners on all night, drove an 0-1 pitch over the limestone facade.

Astros starterAndy Pettitte, in the dugout and ready to celebrate with his teammates, mouthed the words “Oh, my” as the ball left the park. Pujols tossed his bat and took a moment to watch the ball sail while Lidge sank into a crouch on the mound.

The Astros had been 84-1 this year when leading after eight innings, including the postseason.

“The guys coined the phrase, hard nine.’ WeTe going to play a hard nine,” Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said.

When Pujols got back to the dugout, La Russa grabbed him for a huge hug.

“He just told me, ‘The Great Pujols,”’ the slugger said.

“They’re going to be ready in St. Louis. We just need to win two before we lose one.”

RECRUITING

“I knew that some of them were going to have to play in certain positions,” Roof said. “Some of the guys I thought would play are injured and haven’t played, and some of the guys, due to injuries, have wound up playing.”

While Roof and the coaching staff have attempted to lessen the learning curve for their inexperienced players, they have accepted the fact that mistakes are bound to occur and have determined that the best thing to do is hope that the freshmen learn from them.

“They are getting a lot of firsts during the course of each game,” Roof said. ‘You can put them in positions on the practice field to try and simulate those situations, but there are things that come up during the course of every game that are firsts. The ability to grow and to recognize things and make the necessary corrections or adjustments so they don’t happen again is the real joy.”

One surprise this season has been the emergence of freshman quarterback Zack Asack, who was named the starter after the team’s 38-7 loss to then-No. 23 Virginia Sept. 24. In five games for the Blue Devils, Asack has thrown for 334 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for an additional 80 yards.

“He is such a competitive kid and really is a really strong leader for a freshman,” Roof said. “In some of the statements he made the other day he said it was his fault. That is so far from the truth, but you have to admire a freshman who stands up and says that. That is a young man taking accountability. Those are some real leadership qualities, and he is such a confident kid and is very resilient. To be a quarterback you have to have those qualities, and that’s one reason why I think he has a bright future.”

The impact of the freshman class, however, has not been limited to the offense. Linebacker Michael Brown is currently third on the team with 41 tackles and has forced three fumbles this year. In addition, injuries to Brian Sallee and Casey Camero have lifted Clifford Respress to a starting spot on the defensive line, as the Barnesville, Ga. native has seen his playing time jump from 10 to 73 plays a game.

While the prospect of starting younger players over older veterans poses risks to any team’s chemistry, Roof said he does not think the younger lineups have had an adverse effect on the squad’s camaraderie.

‘You need to have a certain amount of respect for the older players who have been through it, and our freshmen really do respect the older guys who have fought and struggled,” Roof said. “I think the older guys respect our young players, too, for their attitude, the way they work and their approach. I think there is a lot of mutual respect, which lends itself to a healthy team environment.”

Junior Eli Nichols echoed his coaches comments, noting that he hasn’t felt any tension between the upperclassmen and the freshmen.

after the season, Krzyzewski will have to act fast to provide the team with future depth in the low post.

Should Mcßoberts leave, Duke would have Just three frontcourt scholarship players in 2006 sophomores Jamal Boykin and Eric Boateng and freshman center Brian Zoubek.

One possibility for Krzyzewski is 6-foot-8 Lance Thomas, a lanky forward from Newark, NJ. Believed to be the only uncommitted player with a Duke scholarship offer in the class of2006, Thomas fits the mold of previous Duke power forwards—long, versatile, and tenacious.

“They see he has a little bit of that Shane Battier quality about him, both as a player and as a leader,” said Dan Hurley, Thomas’ high school coach. “He’s just a kid that doeswhatever you need him to do to win.”

Despite listing Duke as one ofhis top four schools, Thomas had yet to schedule an official visit to Duke as of three weeks ago. Like Wright, Thomas’ recruitment has been enigmatic so far, making his commitment to Duke far from a guarantee.

“He’s been a difficult guy to figure out,” Telep said. “He doesn’t really have any set official visit dates, so its hard to tell when this thing is going to come to an end.”

Adding to Krzyzewski's difficulty is the fact that many of the nation’s top power forward prospects have either committed elsewhere or have narrowed the focus of their recruitment, leaving Thomas as Duke’s best—and perhaps only—option in the class of 2006, Telep said.

As a result, the pressure will be on to make Duke’s class of 2007 a watershed year. Forwards such as Medford, Ore. native Kyle Singler and Houston’s Gary Johnson will become priority recruits for the Blue Devils. Meanwhile, other five-star forwards such as Julian Vaughn and Gani Lawal will likely remain on Duke’s radar for awhile as Krzyzewski looks to infuse future teams with post depth.

Either way, the miss of Wright is no reason for panic in Durham. Duke still has three commitments —Zoubek, guard Jon Scheyer and forward Gerald Henderson—ranked among the nation’s top 50 players by scout.com.

Even without Wright, Thomas or even Mcßoberts, Duke could still field as many as six McDonald’s All-Americans in 2006.

“Last year Duke had a monster recruiting class.

This year North Carolina has a monster recruiting class,” Telep said. “These two teams, with the way their personnel is rigged, should basically alternate Final Four appearances.”

Bercek and Robinson, playing in just their third tournament as partners, got out to a 7-2 lead in the doubles finals before securing their 8-4 victory. Ashworth said Robinson served better than she has all season.

The pair defeated Duke teammates freshman Melissa Mang and Jennifer Zika in the semifinals. The eventual champions actually trailed early in their semifinal match before rallying for the victory'. Blue Devil teams represented halfof the eight quarterfinal pairs, giving .Ashworth reason to be excited about Duke’s depth.

“Our doubles is finally where it needs to be,” Ashworth said. “It has taken a long time.”

from page 11

Do you. take Cool Hand Leinart or President Bush?

Let’s first take a look at Leinart, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. He is blessed with all of the skills that the greatest professional quarterbacks have all possessed —a strong and accurate throwing arm, above-average mobility, the ability to read defenses, a film-room-loving work ethic and, maybe most importantly of all, the ability to stay cool and play his best in the games and moments that matter most.

In the 2003 Rose Bowl, Leinart gave his team a share of the national championship by throwing for three touchdowns and catching another to lead USC to a 28-14 victory over Michigan. In the 2004 Orange Bowl, he threw for five scores and 332 yards in a 55-17 rout of then-No. 2 Oklahoma that gave USC its second consecutive title.

Despite throwing two interceptions and zero touchdowns against Notre Dame Saturday, Leinart had his hand in the three plays that decided the game and displayed the guts of a true champion. Down 31-28 and facing fourth and nine with 1:32 left at their own 26-yard line, Leinart called an audible and threw the perfect pass to Dwayne Jarrett for a 61yard completion. With less than 15 seconds to go, he ran a keeper toward the left pylon and fumbled the ball which miraculously went out of bounds to stop the dock. And with seven seconds to go at the one-yard line, Leinart was stuffed on a sneak, but the second effort of second efforts put the lefty over the goal line, securing the three-point USC victory.

If you watch that final play closely, however, you can see that it was Reggie Bush’s push that drove Leinart into the end zone, an incredibly heads-up, albeit illegal, play. Bush scored three of the Trojans’ five touchdowns on runs of36, 45 and nine yards. Last season he scored 15 touchdowns six rushing, seven receiving, two on punt returns—and has now scored a LaDainianesque 34 times in 32 career games.

This season he is averaging 127 yards on less than 15 carries per game, a clip of 8.8 yards per carry.

And statistics cannot tell the whole story with Bush. His athleticism rivals Michael Vick’s, and he has the same effect on opposing defenses. Bush is the guy you cannot stop but can only hope to contain (thanks Dan Patrick), and the Trojan who strikes the most fear into the heart of the opposition.

Leinart is the mirror image of Joe Montana and Tom Brady, the owners of a combined seven Super Bowl rings and five Super Bowl MVP awards. Bush is the reincarnation of Gale Sayers, who was arguably the most naturallygifted running back to ever put on shoulder pads.

If I’m drafting first, I takeLeinart despite believing that Bush is the better player. Although nothing without the right supporting cast, quarterback is the position with the greatest impact on the game, and a star quarterback can lead a mediocre team deep into the playoffs. As we saw with Barry Sanders, an incredible running back can only do so much on his own.

The good thing is that barring an injury, you can’t go wrong with either Trojan Man. —

OlT’s Support Team, is that a month was too long to wait for a computer.

But outsourcing for a fee does not solve the problem of long waits or the disparity of waits between TAP and non-TAP computers. It merely widens the gulf between services provided.

Students use their computers daily to access e-mail (the University’s official mode of communication), check Blackboard and work on class assignments. The trend toward technologydependence has made it virtually impossible to function at Duke without a personal computer.

In accordance with this demand, the University ought to offer comparable tech support. A fee of more than $lOO is not negligible, especially because free technology support was promised to many students as they entered the school.

OIT needs to continue improving its access to tech support. As technology progresses, the need for an active help desk intensify.

If the University’s only solution is to privilege TAP computers, then it needs to offer the TAP program to any student. There are many reasons a student would choose to buy a computer elsewhere including timing, convenience or cost.

But even when cost is the issue, if might be worth the dollar to have a

letterstotheeditor Race does not determine criminals Clearly, the United States has not healed from its social problem with race when public figures believe that the way to reduce crime is to abort every black baby, as former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett said in a recent interview. Whatever his intentions, he singled out black individuals as future criminals no matter their social class and upbringing.

Bennett wrongly used race as a qualifier and pretense for crime.

Race is not a determining factor in any individual’s propensity to commit a crime. That same idea holds true for gender, age and sexual orientation. People commit crimes, not just African Americans. By the way, African Americans make up only 12.3 percent of the population while white people make up 75.1 percent, according to the 2000 Census.

Even if every single African American, infants included, were committing crimes, they still would not be the majority population committing crimes in America. Contrary to what the media shows, actual crime reports reveal time and again that white people commit more crimes than any other race in America.

Consider this: Most of the United

States’ serial murders have been white men. Why has the press not branded all murders as being white men? The reality is that white people do not get the same negative press coverage because their story is not as sensational as having a shirtless black man being arrested.

Instead of pointing out the socioeconomic and cultural issues that make certain individuals turn to crime more than others, Bennett looked only at race. Any individual of any race is capable of committing a crime. I challenge Bennett and anyone with his view to look at the evidence before criminalizing an entire race of people.

“Tyier” sandwich at Rick’s is a waste I see that Tyler Watson, a sopho-

more, has a sandwich named after him; that Tyler was willing to pay

Rick’s employees to competitively cook for his amusement; that all of the cooks refused, except one, Jermaine Brown; and that Tyler then offered $2O for the largest sandwich Mr. Brown could conceive. The resulting sandwich appears, from its

picture in The Chronicle, to weigh several pounds.

As an undergraduate, the story would have made me laugh. But I graduated from Duke in May, and I’m writing this on my first return visit to campus, and when I am done enjoying the generosity ofmy friends’ food points, I’ll go back to eating canned soup, Ramen and Chef Boyardee, because I’m a schoolteacher now and can’t afford much more. I am moved to ask a few questions about Tyler: Exactly what alchemy of boredom, entidement and drunkenness makes an adolescent throw money at service workers for his own entertainment? Whenever somebody orders a “Tyler,” how much meat ends up in the garbage? And, most tellingly, where did those $2O come from?

From Tyler? Or from Tyler’s parents?

As few as five months ago, I would have looked at the “Tyler” and seen a meal. Now, I see profligacy, gluttony and spite. But ours is a free country, of course, and we are free to associate ourselves with whichever qualities we choose. So congratulations, Tyler.

Way to make your mark.

It’s

a problem the administration can’t fix, and one that don’t really understand. I was one of those students until recendy —when I realized that the very stereotypes I proudly rejected left me confused about sexual assault.

Although causes of sexual assault are numerous, a major factor is the lack of understanding between the people involved. emin hadziosmanovic A man is likely to dethe other side fine sexual assault in far more aggressive and violent terms than a woman. Most men equate “assault” with “rape”—that is, the use of violence and physical force. A woman, however, probably sees “assault” as sex that isn’t consensual. Consequently, the idea of “no” leads to problems.

Archaic gender roles dictate that a proper lady is reticent as she coyly refuses the advance of her suitor. Even though she really wants sex, she’s supposed to say no to avoid appearing “easy.” A man, having accepted these stereotypes, is persistent and aggressive, since he knows she’s only playing hard to get.

While I never bought into such stereotypes, I also didn’t understand the subdeties behind sexual assault. Rape, due to its violent nature, seemed clear-cut. Yet, sexual assault and consent were more complex. At Duke, where there are few if any guns, knives or dark alleys, how does sexual assault occur?

I wondered how a woman might fail to convey to the man that he doesn’t have her consent and needs to stop.

Once she realized that he wasn’t listening—or perhaps was ignoring—her demands to stop, why didn’t she scream, or push him off, or hit him? So I wondered. And I think that many men on this campus might be confused in similar ways.

I found an explanation in a chance conversation with Jean Leonard, the coordinator of Sexual Assault Support Services. Leonard, who counsels most women that come to SASS after an assault, says that when a woman’s rejections are ignored and her cry of “no” unheeded, she can go into a state of shock.

She compares this shock to the moment right before a car accident. When you realize you’re about to get hit, you freeze behind the wheel. Rather than swerving or trying to slam on the breaks, Leonard explains, you are paralyzed by the realization that the inevitable is about to happen.

She finds that something similar can occur to the multitudes of women who are assaulted and feel powerless to stop it. That explains how assault can happen even if there is no screaming or physical fighting. The analogy Leonard offers vividly depicts how a woman can be assaulted even if the man thinks the sex is consensual.

A man who persists and keeps pushing further despite being told “no” or to “stop” can easily interpret the subsequent silence as victory; as a sign that she really was saying “no” out of decorum.

And maybe she was. Yet, it seems more likely that her silence could mean something else—that it could be a sign offear and paralysis that Leonard finds so common.

The analogy also helps men (or at least this man) understand the potential danger of the gender stereotypes that enshroud sex.

Even though victims are almost always women, to place blame on either gender would oversimplify a complex issue. Implying that the woman “brought it on herself” because of her clothing, location or drunkenness is ignorant and offensive. It’s also away to burden her with the blame, instead of dealing with the actual attacker.

Since most sexual assault is lubricated by alcohol, getting consent is often overlooked. In their drunken stupor, few students will stop to discuss the awkward topic of consent.

Yet, stereotypes and misconceptions regarding sexual gender roles open a trap, the slopes of which, made slippery by alcohol, are bound to pull in both sexes. And while it certainly isn’t fair to blame either gender, it is fair to point out that the pain of the fall clearly hurts one gender more than the other.

No easy solution exists for something so complex—we can hardly write off all men as rapists. Yet, communication holds promise for the future. Simply put, it’s worth bringing up the topic of consent before anything happens, regardless of how awkward it may seem. most students
