Architects selected for Central by

Duke mulls over steroid regulations

Tiffany'Webber THE CHRONICLE

The plans for the new Central Campus are one step closer to completion. Elkus Manfredi Architects of Boston was hired as the principal designer and Ayers Saint Gross of Baltimore was hired as the coordinating architect to take on the challenge of reviving Central Campus, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said this week. The mass overhaul of the 278-acre campus will include the destruction of current facilities to make way for new ones that will create an area that is more conducive to academic, social and residential life, administrators have said. Five architectural firms were interviewed by a committee of University officials in September, Trask said. The findings were then presented to the Board of Trustees earlier this month and administrators selected the two firms based on past work, among other factors. Trask added that it would be ideal to have two architectural firms concentrate on facility designs for the campus. “We’re probably going to hire at least one more firm,” he said. Trask noted that the new Central Campus will consist of at least four buildings, SEE CENTRAL ON PAGE 8

After two former baseball players admitted last April to using steroids while at Duke, the University is scrutinizing its performance-enhancing drug policy. A committee formed by President Richard Brodhead last spring hopes to have a new policy solidified by the end of the semester and in place for the next academic year. Brodhead asked the five-member group, led by James Coleman, senior associate dean for academic affairs at the School of Law, to reconsider the performance-enhancing portion of the drug policy less than one year after the University made punishments more lenient for its current drug policy. The committee is not looking at revisions to the recreational drug policy. Former baseball players Aaron Kempster and Grant Stanley told The Chronicle they injected themselves with steroids during the summer of 2002. Kempster and Stanley said other teammates were also using steroids while at Duke. “This clearly came out of the discussion around baseball last spring,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said of the reSEE STEROIDS ON PAGE 21

In an impassioned speech to the Academic Council Thursday afternoon, Provost Peter Lange detailed the University’s progress in creating Duke’s next strategic plan. Developed by the Office of the Provost, the University strategic plan will guide administrators’ decisions for the next five years. Lange stressed that this plan will focus on building upon Duke’s unique strengths. “We need to lead and not copy. We need to achieve distinction with distinctiveness,” he said. “The best way to predict the future is to invent it. We need to plan and invent our own future for Duke.” Lange highlighted some of the new priorities that were not included in “Building on Excellence,” Duke’s SEE PLAN ON PAGE 11

Theresa Rodgers found an unexpected surprise when she sat down to lunch at the Duke Hospital South Food Court Oct. 12. To her dismay, Rodgers took a bite of her turnip greens, only to find that she had chewed off the better half of a cockroach. After Rodgers discovered the insect she turned the greens over to a supervisor at the Food Court. Rodgers, a medical assistant, said the supervisor issued an apology the following day, along with three meal passes to the Duke South Food Court. She said she initially accepted the passes, thenreturned them, refusing to dine at the same eatery at which she had found the roach. “Nobody wants to take this matter seriously,” she said. “[Sanitation] is very important.

Cancun, Cuba evacuate for Wilma by

Will Weissert

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CANCUN, Mexico Tourists packed Cancun’s airport and shuttled from luxury hotels to spartan emergency shelters Thursday, desperately trying to escape Hurricane Wilma as its outer bands battered the resort’s white-sand beaches. Cuba evacuated more than 200,000 people. Wilma, a Category 4 storm with winds of 150 mph, churned toward the Yucatan peninsula and south Florida after its outer bands hit Haiti and Jamaica, where it killed at least 13 people. The storm was expected to strike Cancun and its surrounding resorts and sideswipe Cuba early Friday.

Forecasters said Wilma likely would make a sharp right turn toward Florida, where Gov. Jeb Bush declared a state of emergency, after getting caught in the westerlies, the strong wind current that generally blows toward the east. It is expected to make landfall in Florida Sunday. “At least for the next couple of days here, we think we’re going to have a very powerful hurricane here in the Caribbean,” said Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Briefly the most intense Adantic hurricane on record, Wilma was a potentially catastrophic Category 5 storm before weakening. Its 150 mph winds made it

more powerful than Hurricane Katrina when it plowed into the Gulf coast of the United States Aug. 29, killing more than 1,200 people. At 5 p.m. EDT, the storm’s wobbly center was roughly 135 miles southeast of Cozumel, a popular vacation island, the hurricane center said. Its forecast track would carry it direcdy to Cancun, a city of some 500,000 people by early Friday. The storm had strengthened slighdy, and forecasters said it could regain Category 5 strength winds of 156 mph or more. “This is getting very powerful, very SEE WILMA ON PAGE 12

U.N. links Syria to political killing by

Edith Lederer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS A U.N. investigation concluded that high-ranking Syrian and Lebanese security officials were involved in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, according to a report released Thursday. The strongly worded report by chief investigator Detlev Mehlis said the two nations’ intelligence services kept tabs on Hariri before his assassination by wiretapping his phone, and there was evidence a telecommunications antenna was jammed near the scene of the car bomb that killed

him and 20 others Feb. 14. The decision to assassinate Hariri “could not have been taken without the approval of top-ranked Syrian security officials and could not have been further organized without the collusion of their counterparts in the Lebanese security services,” the report said. The U.N. Security Council was to discuss the report Tuesday. The United States and France earlier prepared resolutions critical of Syria over the assassination and alleged arms funneling to Lebanese militias, a U.S. official and two U.N. diplomats have said. The report quotes a Syrian witness living

Rustum Ghazale, the last Syrian intelligence chief in Lebanon who was in charge when Hariri was assassinated, and Brig. Gen.

Students lament campus cellular service disparities by

Leslie Pfeiffer THE CHRONICLE

Freshman Molly Naunheim is frustrated with her cellular phone service around campus. “My phone doesn’t work in my room, in the Bryan Center, or in Gross Chem,” Naunheim said. “And that’s just the beginning of it.” Many students depend on their cell phones as the primary means ofcommunication and expect optimal service when rushing from dorm to class and back again. But annoyed students often walk around campus with their cell phones raised, trying to locate the precise window ledge or room corner at which their phones have the most bars, indicating prime service. “Cingular is so bad,” Naunheim said, adding that her phone “just doesn’t ring all the time, and it doesn’t tell me I missed a call.” There are many factors that can compromise cellular service, Office of Information Technology officials explained. “Large buildings, tall trees and low-

lying areas degrade the level of cellular signal,” Dana Risley, a senior manager

OIT, wrote in an e-mail. “Landscape, structures, number of towers, orientation of the antennas as well as the number of simultaneous users the cell provider supports on any given tower will affect the level of service.” Alltel and Verizon Wireless are the preferred service providers OIT designates for the Duke community, and there are many different service plans through these companies available to students through OIT. When OIT was planning updates to options available to the Duke community last spring, officials tested providers’ coverage, Debbie DeYulia, OIT senior manager, wrote in an e-mail. They found “that Verizon and Alltel had the best overall coverage on campus, both inside and outside of buildings,” she wrote. Students have noted the higher quality ofVerizon Wireless service—which has 30 cell towers in the 27708 zip code region—compared to Cingular, which only ARMANDO HUARINGA/THE CHRONICLE

Long waits plague Duke emergency room visitors Shreya Rao THE CHRONICLE

It was 1 p.m. when freshman Andrielle Swaby stumbled into the emergency department—her body covered in scrapes,

one of her front teeth sitting loosely in her mouth. She had made her way to the emergency department after hitting a curb and being flung off ofher bicycle on West Campus Sept. 23. But she did not receive a novocaine treatment until four-and-a-half hours later, she said, adding that medical staff members informed her she should have received it immediately after the accident. Duke University Hospital’s emergency

department has been the subject of many complaints from members of the Duke community in recent years for its slow response to some patients’ injuries. Sophomore Emily Thomey recalled a day last summer when she spent nearly four hours in the emergency department with a friend. “She was doubled over in pain and no one even came out to see or talk to her,” Thomey said. Jeff Doucette, associate operating officer for DUH, said the average total time patients spend in the emergency department at Duke is four-and-a-half hours, which includes both the wait and treatment times.

Although the overcrowding of emergency departments is a national trend, Doucette said Duke’s average waiting time is higher than the national mean. He insisted, however, that DUH’s time is similar to that of other teaching institutions. Doucette said the problem of overcrowding can be attributed to two issues. “The hospital is constantly well over capacity, and patients often misuse the emergency services,” he said, noting that the emergency department sees 15,000 more patients each year than it was originally intended to accommodate. “Patients want to use the ER as their primary care doctor when they don’t have true emergencies.” In an attempt to remedy the problem,

DUH is currently undertaking a $29.8 million emergency department renovation project, which should be completed by Fall

2007.

The expansion will nearly double the current square footage and increase its capacity from 40,000 to 90,000 patients per year. Kenneth Morris, chief financial officer ofDuke University Health System, said the new space will allow the staff to see padents more efficiendy. Doucette added that the overcrowding resulted from a lack of space for more patients, not a lack of personnel.

viewable from Kilgo Quadrangle. Using both Kilgo Quad and the plaza itself as viewing arenas, more than 3,000 students will be able to watch performances. A lighting system that can increase or decrease in brightness for various events will also be incorporated into the design of the student space. Lights will be embedded in the floor and railing system of the plaza and in the foliage. The Great Hall and the plaza will be connected by additional doors. The doors will allow students who purchase food from the Great Hall to eat in the outdoor venue. A series of food vendors such as Pauly Dogs will also line the plaza, Moneta said.

President Richard Brodhead gave his annual address to the faculty Thursday afternoon, focusing on Duke’s need to increase financial aid funds and develop real-world applications for research. Brodhead began his speech in characteristic fashion. “My first instinct has been to envision it as a kind of State of the Union address, and that has touched off a variety of distracting images:... The idea that I should have my own Dick Cheney and Dennis Hasten sitting behind me... ready to leap to their feet and lead the applause every time I bring a thought to a full stop,” Brodhead said. “My fellow Dukies, the state of this University is strong.” Brodhead first spoke about the importance of the upcoming financial aid initiative for Duke. He said the focus on boosting aid was a matter of justice, education and investment in talent—ideas important for society at large. “If students are thought of as partners in inquiry, people whose independent vitality and intelligence can help advance the work of discovery, then it matters whether one’s school attracts students capable of the highest form of engagement and creativity.” Brodhead said. The University provides about $5O million each year to help students pay for tuition, room and board. About 20 percent of the funds come from the financial aid endowment. The rest comes from the operating budget, which is the same pool of money for other University programs such as salaries, facility upgrades and programming. “In lean years or hard times, Duke’s

THE CHRONICLE

Although students may complain about the long walk to the Bryan Center these days, the new West Campus student plaza will be worth the inconvenience, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta told Campus Council at its meeting Thursday night. Moneta updated council members on the construction and layout of the plaza that will replace the old Bryan Center walkway. He also encouraged council members to think about how the plaza should develop as a student space. Having completed walkway demolition, construction crews are now working to drill holes in the ground for columns that will support the elevated

plaza, Moneta said. “It’ll get really interesting to watch within the next few weeks,” he added. The 40,000-square-foot plaza will be 120 feet wide, far surpassing the former walkway, which was 8 feet in width. The new plaza’s appearance will reinforce its purpose as a space where students can talk and socialize, Moneta said. “Everything about the walkway just said, ‘Keep moving’,” Moneta noted. The plaza will feature an illuminated 300-jet mist fountain that will project water into the air. The mist will be recycled in order to water the surrounding

foliage.

The plaza will also include two performance platforms, one small and one large. At least one of the platforms will be

Freshman Josh Sommer has brought his interest in studying mold to Duke, researching toxin concentrations.

Freshman fights mold with research, activism Wenjia Zhang THE CHRONICLE

For freshman Josh Sommer, household mold is a growing concern. Already an activist about toxic mold issues, Sommer plans to start a research project about the prevention and detection of those molds at Duke and eventually develop solutions that would benefit public health. Sommer has been in contact with many professors at Duke since last year. He is currently proposing his research ideas to faculty and applying for grants. The study will focus on the development of toxin sensors that can be easily installed in households. Users will be able to obtain real-time readings of toxin concentrations in the air, allowing them to react to possible problems before they becomes hazardous, Sommer said. Ultimately, his

goal is to make these sensors available in every household. “However, it will be years before that will happen,” he said. In addition, Sommer is member of the Indoor Air Quality Monitoring team for the upcoming Delta Smart House, an undergraduate engineering lab that will house students. He hopes to make the building a model for mold-free housing. Sommer expressed his concerns for the possible widespread health complications resulting from mold infections in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. He hopes to conduct experiments in houses on the GulfCoast, proving a relationship between the concentration of mold toxins and health problems. He also hopes to educate the residents about toxic mold. The best way to solve mold issues is SEE MOLD ON PAGE 13

Originally scheduled to begin operation in late 2008, the Regional Rail Transit Project, with 12 planned stations in 28 miles, will not be in operation until late 2009, TTA spokesperson Brad Schulz said. The Federal Transit Administration, Schulz noted, criticized TTA’s ridership projections and raised questions about the modeling of the trains and stations. FTA requires TTA to provide not only opening day ridership forecasts, but also forecasts

percent from TTA “The Federal Transit Administration is making sure that we have a cost-efficient project,” Schulz said. “We have been in our final design stage since January 2003, meaning that 90 to 95 percent of the property to build the rail has been acquired. We have been working hard with the federal transit authorities to meet their standards.” The rail line, which will stop at the corner of Main and Ninth streets, will offer a new opportunity for Duke students to commute to

Since density is growing in downtown Durham, it will also help minimize the use of cars in the region.”

Reports submitted by subcommittees of the Central Campus Planning Committee in February advised that the campus be designed to attract upperclassmen rather than simply provide traditional dormitorystyle living—a point President Richard Brodhead has also emphasized.

The committee also recommended putting a bar on the campus.

Paul Haagen, chair of the Academic Council, also spoke, giving the chair’s annual report. He praised the current administrative and Board of Trustees leadership. “Across Duke, the level of cooperation and openness among the administration, faculty and the Board is both high and, in general, getting better,” Haagen said, noting that the University is fairly open with its faculty. While highlighting society’s general distrust of individuals and institutions, he warned that universities might soon be forced to show more tangible results with their grant money—a charge he said Duke has already undertaken. “These are interesting times at Duke, with all of the ambiguity that the phrase implies,” said Haagen, a professor of law. “How creatively, effectively and humanely we respond to them will go a long way toward defining the Duke of the future.”

pulling, inspecting and disposing of the product in question, notifying the supplier of the food, inspecting the kitchen and serving areas and interviewing staff members, Collom wrote in an e-mail. For the past few years, ARAMARK has come under fire from Duke students and Dining Services administration. In the past two years, both the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee and Duke Student Government have voted “no confidence” in the company and its food service on campus. ARAMARK’s administrative personnel in DUMC, however, operate completely independently from their counterparts in

Although most customers of the Duke South Food Court surveyed said they had never experienced any problems with the food or questioned the cleanliness of the facility, a few patrons did raise concerns. “Cleanliness is my biggest complaint,” said Irvin Eisen, a data processing specialist for the Center for the Study of Aging. Rick Sloan, who also works in the Center for the Study of Aging, raised similar concerns, noting that sometimes trash is

Other customers noted that the area does not look clean at times.

Among other initiatives, Lange emphasized that the University must foster faculty excellence in all schools, develop the University’s arts scene and improve the latter years of the undergraduate experience. “I like to say we are at the bottom of the

top,” he said, noting that faculty and

stu-

dents often choose to go to other peer schools rather than to Duke. “This is a very uncomfortable place to be.” In order to improve its standings, Duke needs to sell its strengths—particularly fostering interdisciplinarity and supporting translational research—to potential students and faculty members, Lange said.

Lange also said several of the previous plan’s goals—like internationalization, interdisciplinarity, technology and diversity—will likely be continued in the upcoming plan. Categorizing the current stage of the planning as “controlled chaos,” he said hundreds of community members were in at least a dozen task forces thinking about the future of the University. He said a committee will then compile the data from the task forces in early Spring 2006. Officials will seek approval of the final draft of the new plan at the Board of Trustees meeting in May 2006.

through prevention, he said. Although this may increase a household’s maintenance fees, it is a lot more cost-effective than removing the mold, Sommer explained. “I feel that the society as a whole has become very short sighted, they don’t see the possible risks in the future,” he said. “Instead of solving the problems, people ignore them.” His interest in providing mold-free living environments began in 2001. After a water leak in the spring, mold began to grow inside the walls of his house. He and his mother, however, were unaware

of the situation. The toxins caused both of them to fall ill; his mother was no longer able to practice medicine as a result ofher sicknesses. “In retrospect, there was a clear progression of our sickness in the months after the water leak, but we didn’t realize it at the time,” he said. When a sample of the mold was sent to a laboratory, they were advised by certified industrial hygienist to leave the house immediately. On Dec. 31, 2001 Sommer and his mother moved out. “We left the house with two suitcases and our dog,” he said. Since then, Sommer has been actively researching poisonous mold. “Mold problems are much more common than I realized^—it can happen to anyone,” he said. Sommer has also worked with politicians to try to fix mold problems. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., proposed “The Melina Bill,” or The United States Toxic Mold Safety and Protection Act, in June 2002. Sommer and his mother actively worked alongside Conyers to encourage passage of the bill. “I feel that my role has changed in the years from a child victim to an advocate of the bill,” Sommer said.

Mehlis’ 53-page report accused Syrian authorities of trying to mislead his investigation, and direcdy accused Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa of lying in a letter sent to his commission. The commission said Syria’s cooperation in form, but not substance, “has impeded the investigation and made it difficult to follow leads established by the evidence collected from a variety of sources. “If the investigation is to be completed, it is essential that the government of Syria fully cooperate with the investigat-

ing authorities, including by allowing interviews to be held outside Syria and for interviewees not to be accompanied by Syrian officials,” it said. In a letter accompanying the report, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he would extend Mehlis’ investigation until Dec. 15, which would allow the team to continue its work and help the Lebanese authorities. The U.N. Security Council gave the probe a three-month mandate when it began its work June 16 but said it could be extended for three more months if necessary. In August, Mehlis received an extension beyond the original Sept 15 deadline. Several lines of investigation still need to be pursued, Mehlis said. They include jamming devices in Hariri’s convoy that were functioning at the time of the bombing. It appears there was interference with a telecommunication antenna at the crime scene at the time Hariri was killed in a massive car bomb, Mehlis wrote.

Originally, he said, agents of the National Security Service—commonly known as the KQB —tried to pin him with charges of spying for Turkey. “The concept of ‘scholar’ is poindess to them. According to them, all scholars are spies,” Turkyilmaz said. “I got the treatment I did because of the image of Turk due to the genocide." Researching the involvement of Armenians, Kurds and Turks in the transformation of an region in eastern Turkey, he was the first Turkish scholar ever allowed to research in the National Archives of Armenia. The material he collected came under intense scrutiny during his detendon. “I got good advice from the KGB on my dissertation,” he joked. “They told me my topic was too broad.” He added that a large effort to free him—including appeals from President Richard Brodhead and former U.S. Senator Bob Dole, a long-time advocate for Armeniaonly created suspicion that he was a U.S. spy.

In jail, Turkyilmaz said he could hear the screams of prisoners being tortured on the floor above him and said he was forced to sign a contract with a lawyer he believes was on the NSS payroll. Turkyilmaz was released Aug. 15 after receiving a two-year suspended sentence. Before his speech Thursday, he said he was proud that “open-minded scholars [in Turkey and Armenia] have created a new dialogue” that replaces the hostility that existed before his case. “It’s a pretty incredible story,” said senior Marina Kukso. “It shows research and the academy can be more relevant and

Turkyilmaz attributed some of the complications in his case to his cross-cultural background and academic perspective. “I was like a U.R.O. —unidentified researching object—for them,” he said. “They couldn’t understand who I was. I think they were really curious.” However, he said his controversial views—in tandem with the strained Armenian-Turkish relations—made it politically difficult for Turkish officials to pub-

His case became a national issue, receiving attention from the Armenian media. “Duke University must be the most famous university in all of Armenia,” he said.

As a part of that, we agreed to meet the end of the train with our buses.” In a later phase of the project, TTA is planning a stop at Duke University Medical Center. Some business owners around Durham as well as local politicians have said that if the rail line is built it will help to expand the community, giving Duke students an easy opportunity to travel to downtown Raleigh.

Bridget Lowell, a spokesperson for Rep. David Price, D-N.C., said Price is a strong supporter of the rail line and believes it will help to ease traffic congestion in the Triangle. Despite the challenges and set backs, she said, Price has continued to work with state officials to help move the process forward. John Bumess, Duke senior vice president of public affairs and government relations, said that if built, the rail line will be useful for the Raleigh-Durham community.

The rail line will stop not only at Ninth Street but also at the Durham Bulls baseball park, the North Carolina State University campus and downtown Raleigh. “If it happens, there will be a fairly efficient way to go from Raleigh to Durham,” Burness added. “While Ninth Street would become a more vibrant community, there is no stop planned at the airport.

It was the only goal the Tigers would need, as they went on to beat the No. 6 Blue Devils (11-31, 5-3 in the ACC) Thursday by that same margin. The score capped the first segment of the game, dominated by Clemson. Within the first 10 minutes of the game, the Tigers (8-6-2, 3-41) fired two shots off a pair of corner kicks, putting pressure on Duke’s defense. “Clemson was more hungry and ready at the start,” head coach Robbie Church said. “We were not prepared as well, which is my j0b....

The offense has been especially paltry, 'averaging fewer than 165 yards per game while totaling four more punts than first downs in conference play. These difficulties, however, have come against the cream of the ACC crop—every team Duke has played has been ranked in the AP top 25 this season. The Blue Devils have managed to stay competitive early against ACC teams, as they did last week, leading the Yellow Jackets 10-7 at halftime. A week after a loss at Mary-

land last year, heavily-favored FSU started slowly against the Blue Devils and only led by two at halftime. Duke head coach Ted Roof, however, said he does not know if catching the Seminoles after a loss is favorable. “I could drive myself bananas trying to figure that out, and I really can’t control anything about Florida State,” Roof said. “Coach [Bobby] Bowden will have his team ready to play, he always does. My focus and our focus is just trying to get us better, get us working to improve and get through these tough times together.” Last week, FSU’s defense had trouble containing elusive Virginia quarterback Marques Hagans, who threw for more than 300 yards in a performance Bowden said was reminiscent of Michael Vick. Although Roof said Duke freshman quarterback Zack Asack has “a littie mobility,” he did not think the Cavaliers exposed any specific deficiencies the Blue Devil offense could exploit “I think they are one of the best defenses around,” Roof said. “They are extremely aggressive, they tackle well and play extremely hard. I really don’t see any weaknesses in that group.” SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 20

Outside hitterSam Fisher (center) had nine kills on 17 attempts in Duke's win over Florida StateThursday.

nole Kristen Rust’s serve hit the net, and a Florida State setting error on the next play gave the Blue Devils the sweep, 3-0. Duke (12-6, 64 in the ACC) controlled the match almost from the start, taking advantage of several Florida State hitting errors to go on a 7-0 run to build a 17-10 lead in the first game. The Blue Devils would eventually push their advantage to 28-15. But with the Blue Devils on the verge of a first-game victory, the Seminoles (5-13, 37) reeled off six straight points, and Duke head coach Jolene Nagel called a timeout. “I felt like we were just starting to break down a little bit with our block,” Nagel said. “We weren’t closing our block, so I said let’s just stay disciplined with our blocking scheme and make sure we get stops.” The Blue Devils took the next two points on kills by outside hitter Tealle Hunkus and middle blocker Jourdan Norman to win the first game, 30-21. Duke maintained a comfortable advantage through most of the second game. The team took a lead it would not relinquish with a 5-1 run that made the score 15-10. A kill by Norman after a div-

ing dig by outside hitter Sarah Salem started the run. The Seminoles pulled to within three points at 19-16, but Duke scored the next three to stop the threat. Florida State would not challenge the Blue Devil lead again, and Duke won the second game, 30-23. In the third game, Duke was less able to get into an offensive rhythm, Nagel said, as Florida State improved its blocking. The Blue Devils fell behind early and did not take their first lead until a a block by Norman and setter Ali Hausfeld gave them a 25-24 advantage. “We weren’t controlling the ball as well off the services in game three, so that probably contributed to their ability to block us a little bit better,” Nagel said. ‘We just had too many errors, and a lot of those came from them blocking us.” After the Blue Devils’ 3-0 loss to Maryland Oct. 16, Nagel challenged her team to play with more defensive focus against Florida State. “We were very disciplined tonight,” Hunkus said. “Before the match, Coach gave us a couple goals, and one was to be

disciplined—be tough on defense, get our blocks set up, the stuff we worked on all week. So I think we did that well.” Duke finished with 13 blocks, seven more than it had against the Terrapins, and 66 digs, 16 more than in the Maryland match. “Our right-side blockers did a goodjob of timing and setting their block,” Nagel said. “I thought our left side did a goodjob of setting the block the way we wanted to and touching a lot of balls.”

Doubles teams move on at ITA Regionals by

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

It was a day of mixed results for the men’s tennis team at the ITA Mideast Regional qualifier Thursday at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. The Blue Devils’ top two doubles teams won two matches each, salvaging a day in which four of Duke’s players dropped their first-round singles matches. The duo of Jonathan Stokke and Joey Atas, the No. 2 seed in the doubles bracket, won two matches in convincing fashion over teams from William & Mary and East Tennessee State, 8-1, 8-3, respectively. “Joey was serving pretty well, which makes it easy for me at the net,” Stokke said. “I think we moved well and just played loose.” Meanwhile, the third-seeded tandem of Ludovic Walter and Peter Rodrigues needed a hide more work to advance. The Blue Devils fell behind 4-1 early in their second round match against a team from N.C. State before roaring back for an 8-6 victory. “We kind of came out going through the motions, Rodrigues, a junior, said. “We got better energy [later on].” Walter added that sharpening their returns was the key to the

turnaround In singles play, sophomore Alex Stone dropped a three-setter to Zachary Rath of Georgia Tech. Stone easily won the first set 6-1, but lost the second set in a tiebreaker and never recovered. Stefan Rozycki, who qualified for the event with two wins Wednesday, dropped a three-set match, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1, after having trouble with cramps. Ned Samuelson and Christopher Brown also lost their firstround matches. “The other teams played well against us,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “We didn’t really

play poorly.” Walter, Atas, Stokke and Rodrigues will all pull double duty Friday, playing in both singles and doubles matches. Walter, the region’s two-time defending champion and top seed, received a first-round bye and will begin his defense today at 8:30 a.m at the Sheffield Center. Atas, Stokke, and Rodrigues also received top-10 seeds and earned byes into the second round. “I expect to see us do pretty well in the singles,” assistant coach Ramsey Smith said. “All four are playing well right now. Any one of them can win the tournament.”

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Marcus Vick was too elusive, and the relentless defense ofNo. 3 Virginia Tech proved too tough to handle for a spirited Maryland team bent on revenge. 28 VA.TECH Vick ran for a

a 28-9 victory

Thursday night. “He certainly made a difference in this

ball game—there’s no doubt about that,” Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said of his starting quarterback. “The only thing I said to him coming off the field [in the first half) was, ‘You’re going to win this thing for us.’ I believe in him. I believe he is a great competitor.” Mike Imoh had two touchdowns for Virginia Tech (7-0, 4-0 in the ACC), which scored 21 straight points after halftime to keep alive its hopes of playing for the national championship in January. The Terrapins (4-3, 2-2) came in with a three-game winning streak and hopes of avenging a 55-6 defeat to the Hokies last November, but Vick wouldn’t let it happen. Although he threw a career-high three interceptions—all in the third quarter—the little brotherofAtlanta Falcons star Michael Vick averaged 8.3 yards per carry and completed 14 of 23 passes for 211 yards. His 8-yard touchdown run in the sec-* ond quarter made it 7-0, and he directed scoring drives of 81, 99 and 37 yards in the second half.

BRAD SMfTH/U.S. PRESSWIRE

Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick ran for a career-high 133yards against Maryland Thursday night. “Our defense was on the field too long and they began to wear down [toward the end of the game],” Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen. “They are a good football team, and when you play that caliber of a team, you have to cash in on opportunities to win the football game.”

The Hokies forced two turnovers and

kept the Terrapins out of the end zone until Sam Hollenbach threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Fenner with 2:16 to go. Hollenbach was 14-of-30 for 158 yards and two interceptions, and Lance Ball had 75 yards rushing on 15 attempts.

The Terrapins wore their alternate black jerseys for the second time this season, hoping for the same result as the last time —a 45-33 victory over Virginia on Oct. 1. The ploy didn’t work, yet Maryland could take solace in putting forth a decent performance in front of a national television audience and a crowd of 54,838—the second-largest in school history. The Hokies scored on their first possession of the third quarter to take a 14-3 lead. A 38-yard run by Vick got Virginia Tech to the Maryland 31-yard line, and five plays later Imoh scored from the two. The teams then traded interceptions before Maryland’s Dan Ennis came up short on a 38-yard field goal attempt. After the Terrapins failed to capitalize on Vick’s third interception, a punt left Virginia Tech on its own 1-yard line. Ten plays later, Imoh ran the ball in from the 10 to make it 21-3 with 10:45 left. Branden Ore added a 4-yard touchdown run with 6:47 to go. “They have speed and when they put the ball in Vick’s hands, he can run,” Friedgen said. “I thought the major difference in the two teams was they had a lot more speed.” The Terrapins trailed 7-3 at halftime, but they charged off the field as if they were winning—behavior that probably had a lot to do with the fact they were down 413 at intermission in last year’s game. Maryland threatened first, moving from its own 20 to the Tech 21 in the first quarter before James Anderson intercepted Hollenbach at the 12. SEE VA. TECH ON PAGE 22

THE CHRONICLE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21,

M. SOCCER from page 15 been shut out since last year’s 5-0 loss to the University of California at Santa Barbara in the College Cup. Loftus, who leads the Blue Devils with eight goals this season, said his team does not feel any extra pressure to perform offensively. “That game is behind us and I am just looking forward to [tonight] against N.C. State,” Loftus said. “It’s a must win situation and we have plenty of guys that can put the ball in the back of the net.” After allowing King’s game-winning goal in 2004, the defense will again be challenged by the senior’s offensive abilities. “He’s a good player,” sophomore goalkeeper Justin Papadakis said. “He’s very quick, very talented. He’s one of the best finishers in the country”

Kings 13 goals this season have accounted for over 50 percent of N.C. State’s offense. In his junior campaign he scored 11 goals, including the game-winner against Duke. Rennie hopes that the memory of last year s game will make the Blue Devils unforgiving in tonight’s match. “Any time you lose to a team, the next time you play them you want to win,” Rennie said. Duke is currently fifth in the ACC, but with a victory over the Wolfpack and a Virginia Tech loss at Clemson, would move into third. “The guys know what’s at stake,” senior co-captain Danny Kramer said. “Every ACC game is a big game. But this one, in particular, is very big. It’s the end of the season, we re in the middle of the conference n0w.... It not’s too hard to get the guys to be motivated for a game like this.”

Asack is the clear-cut choice at quarterback, as junior Mike Schneider will not play after suffering internal injuries to his chest against Georgia Tech. The injury-riddled Blue Devils will benefit from the return of freshman running back Re’quan Boyette and junior defensive tackle Brian Sallee, but are still missing wide receivers Jomar Wright and Ronnie Elliot and running back Cedric Dargan. In addition to missing two of his top receivers, Asack may not have enough time in the pocket to improve on his performance last week—the freshman had two interceptions and one fumble in the third quarter against Georgia Tech. The Seminoles rank fourth in the nation with 24 total sacks, while Duke has given up the most sacks in the ACC. “If they are bringing heat from the outside, we have to get the ball to the receivers faster because this is a fast team,” Asack said. “Lineman just have to do their assignments and we just have to play the game.”

The Seminoles’ passing attack was expected to be their offensive weakness, but redshirt freshman Drew Weatherford has led the top passing offense in the ACC. Weatherford, however, has made some rookie mistakes including three interceptions in the loss to Virginia and Roof said the Blue Devils would try to pressure the redshirt freshman. ‘You want to change the picture for him and do some different things to try to attack different protections because some teams have been able to get some pressure on him,” Roof said. “We just can’t let the ball go over our heads, that’s one of the big keys for our secondary on —

Saturday.”

In order to have a chance against the “Criminoles”—as one Duke unit called FSU in its post-practice rally, referring to the program’s history of off-the-field issues—Roof said the Blue Devils must avoid early mistakes and keep hanging around as they did last year. “We really need to work the clock,” Asack said. “They can really score points so if we can control the game and by the end of the game have more time of possession, it will definitely work to our advantage.”

something like that,” said Brad Berndt, assistant athletic director for academic services and director of Duke’s testing program. Duke’s current policy was last updated in August 2004. The first-offense penalty changed from suspension from 10 percent of a team’s regular-season contests to therapy and notification of the athlete’s coach, teammates and parents. No suspension is listed in the current policy for first-time offenders. After a second offense, players are suspended for 40 percent of their regular-season games and stripped of their eligibility after a third positive test.

Brodhead’s formation of the committee is one of several ways the school’s top administrators have exerted increased control over the athletic department. Trask said that many athletic departments have been quasi-independent of their school’s administrations in the past, but those relationships have changed over the last decade. “I don’t think there’s any confusion in the athletic department that it works for the Allen Building,” Trask said. “I think there used to be, but I think that’s all gone.” North Carolina is one of the first schools in the NCAA to institute a zero-tolerance steroid policy.

certain players are not in there.” After Foster’s goal, the Blue Devils took control of the game, ending the first half with a 54 shot and 4-3 corner kick advantage, but they were unable to convert any of the opportunities. Unlike the first half, Duke started strong in the second period. In the 54th minute, Blue Devil midfielder Carmen Bognanno was taken down in the left comer of the goal box by Clemson defender Amber Funk, and was awarded a penalty kick. But Bognanno missed the shot wide left. Over the next 10 minutes, Duke took four more shots, but none found the back of the net. Church removed a defender in the 72nd minute, leaving only three backs in the game, but the Blue Devils still could

The Hokies ran only 11 plays and had minus-two yards rushing during a scoreless first period, the only quarter this season in which Virginia Tech has failed to score. Vick finally got the offense moving on Tech’s third possession. He began an 80yard drive with an 18-yard completion to David Clowney, then added four runs for 43 yards, including a sprint around right end for a touchdown. The next timeTech got the ball, Vick completed a 48-yard pass to Clowney to set up a first-and-goal at the 7-yard line. On fourth down from the one, Imoh lost possession of the ball while trying to diye over the top and Maryland recovered—the first time this season the Hokies lost a fumble. “I was just trying to make a play and get in the end zone,” Imoh said. “I tried to go over the top and stretch the ball out, but someone knocked it out. It’s my fault, I have to make the play.” The Terrapins then moved 73 yards in 13 plays before Ennis kicked a 38yard field goal. That left Vick three minutes to score. With the clock running down and Virginia Tech out of timeouts, a 20yard field goal try by Brandon Pace bounced off the left upright. “I think we played hard, and we had the opportunities, but we didn’t take advantage of them,” Friedgen said. “I think it was a good learning experience, and I hope we will be better for it.”

“In the second half, we created much more opportunities, but didn’t finish on the opportunities,” Church said. “We had a number of one-on-one’s with the keeper, took some bad shots, and made some bad choices. One time, the ball was flying across the box, but no one was there.” In the final 18 minutes of the game, three more Blue Devil shots would not go past Clemson goalkeeper Ashley Phillips, who finished with seven saves. The Blue Devils outshot Clemson, 10-1 in the second half. The Blue Devils face Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla., Oct. 23. “We need to make sure we have a 90minute mentality, or you’re going to get pounded in this league,” Church said.

no major improvements would take place until staff had settled in. Now that the staff is finalized, it is time for those officials to get started on their project of communicating a vision of preventative health and whole living to students. The organization wants to continue to offer regular care for minor illness, but it would prefer that when students think of the Student Health Center, they think of nutrition counseling, exercise planning and information dissemination.

Purdy is still cutting his teeth as executive director, but it is time to start moving on the projects staff members have been daydreaming about. While the biggest issue facing the program is how to deal with rising insurance costs, Student Health should begin by publicizing its existing programs. A variety of educational programs, all named with expertly crafted acronyms, already deal with many of the major health issues facing college students: drinking, eating disorders, nutrition. But these programs are poorly publicized and underutilized. The first task should be to explain their value to the community. Student Health has done a

fantastic job of developing its women’s health programs, but it should not overlook male health needs. With the recent opening of a male health clinic, now is an ideal time to convince men to think about their health. They may not be as receptive an audience as collegeage women, but their needs are just as great. While Student Health focuses on educational programming, however, it also needs to continue to improve publicity for its clinical services. The center offers free gynecological care, help with smoking cessation and nutritional counseling. Students need to know about these and other services. Of course, they also need free condoms.

Another good ol’ boys club

Raised

by an Hispanic-Catholic mother and a French Canadian-Catholic father in Irish-Catholic Boston, I attended private Catholic schools, sat through many a Catholic Mass and had all the fledgling makings of a little Catholic nun But other than my daily dose of catechism, my parcote ents and teachtruth the naked ers also

dispensed words of secular wisdom: ‘You are the prettiest and smartest girl in the world, and you can grow up to be anything that you want because girls can do absolutely everything that boys can do.” So, all that nunnish preparation notwithstanding, the advice I ultimately internalized was that ifI was smart enough (or pretty enough), I could do whatever I pleased. But then once a week, I’d be hauled off to a church where I was habitually reminded that though my all-girls Catholic education hinted that “anything you can do, I can do better; I can do anything better than you,” the Catholic Mass—despite its many snazzy hymns—was a far cry from a musical about female empowerment. So after two decades of going to Mass and listening to clergymen subtly remind me about a woman’s rightful place in society, I began to realize that even with all that cookie-cutter Catholic prep, the Church had failed to embrace who I am and what I stand for. And what I’ve found is that the secular aspirations of women like me are sadly incompatible with the sacred mission of the Catholic Church. As a Catholic woman, I’ve gotten used to the fact that the Catholic Church is just another Good Or Boys Club. Its creeds, codes and languages are tailored to men. Its homilies are just as often inapplicable as they are uninspiring. And, more saliently, the Church’s most public and prominent religious vocations are completely closed to women. The male-dominated Church hierarchy is resolutely disposed to be more dictatorial than democratic, and my total disaffection with the Church increases every time I remember that the majority of the institution’s lay body is comprised of women. And of course, acting upon the assertion that they’re behaving direcdy in accordance with divine authority, the Catholic clergy can justify being utterly unresponsive to the concerns of its laity. Amid its unrelenting unresponsiveness to women, its staunch adherence to archaic religious Tradition (with a capital “T”) and its deplorable reaction to, the national clerical sex abuse scandal, the Catholic Church of recent years has accomplished little else save for a successful and widespread alienation of its American adherents. And this is the church I belong to? An institution that ostensibly cares more about saving face than saving people? Bah. In their latest move, the American bishops have launched a new recruitment initiative called “Fishers of Men” to compensate for the dwindling number of priests. But as usual, only men need apply. Honestly, as far as I’m concerned, American bishops might as well start erecting chapels in tree branches and dangling signs outside little trap doors that read: “No Girls Allowed.” Well, fine then, boys. I don’t wanna be in your stupid “Boys Only” club anyway. I’ll just build myself my own fort. Or start my own religion. AND YOU WON’T BE INVITED. Boston Cote is a Trinity senior.

It’s like my grandmother always told me, a drink a day keeps the headshrinker away (Granny liked to wax poetic when she was high). When I miss a few cycles of alcohol abuse, I start to focus on my hang-ups, my little problems, the fact that I don’t have a job at Bain or Goldman Sachs. And then I get bitter, and then I start to realize how much better I am than anyone else despite what my GPA, test scores and peers say. Naturally, immediately after that I begin to alienate everyone around me. On the other hand, if I go on a nice bender, I wake up every morning with the sun shining (far too brighdy in most cases) and the day full of surprises (there is a paper due today?). How anyone can bear the monotony of college life without a healthy substance abuse habit is beyond me. What is there to do in this town besides drugs? Durham is one step removed from one of those towns in Louisiana where all the kids do crystal meth just because they are bored. How do you even make friends without substances? I think that until you have that hammered “I love you man (or woman)” moment, you will always be thinking that your friends are just there because you have a really big TV. So stop feeling guilty, light up the bong, pour yourself a drink and have a college experience before it is too late.

Towel, please FLASHBACK;

It’s a night in the mid-’9os; I must be around 11 or 12. As I’m getting dressed and ready for bed, I quite vividly remember happening to turn toward a mirror and catch a glimpse of myself, barechested. And an endrely new thought comes to me, a thought whose exact source I’ll never really know: “Golly, how scrawny lam!” Looking back, it was the birth of some new form of self-consciousness, but all I discovered then were what I believed to be two pathetically pipe-like arms. Fortunately, time changes everything—especially bodies and philip quite a few priorities in life as well. last others, and realized our Once I, many largest talents weren’t along the axis of the muscularly challenging —and no, sorry to all the motivational speakers out there, the brain is not a muscle—we became a little more satisfied with our own corporeal lot, if we ever weren’t in the first place. Take note, I only said a little more satisfied. See, there’s a phenomenon on the college campus that’s giving many of us away. Yet few things in modern undergraduate life are less thoroughly explored than this place of near shrine-like importance for some. A hint: Wilson. Brodie. Our gymnasiums are among the largest after-hours gathering points we have—and the most egalitarian. Rarely are we more likely to run into an acquaintance, a friend, an enemy or a stranger than at the gym. And given all die people we know, it’s hard to get to know many very well. But at the gym, you needn’t talk to your peers. Just watch them. It’s an instant confession. Know that mental flash when you suddenly understand something about another person, or come to see him or her entirely anew? The gym is one long, continuous unfolding of that moment. But before I go any further, let me take out some garbage. Yes, I know all about how exercise increases your chance of living a longer, healthier life and decreases stress. And someday, we may go for those reasons foremost. But not today. We, who regularly back-load term papers at great loss of sleep, who guzzle coffee by the gallon, who quite frequendy do everything we can on the weekend to wreck the bodies we work so hard to tone on the weekdays—we aren’t doing splits on the elliptical and sets on the bench whispering “Heart dis-

ease, diabetes, goodbye! Hurrah!” Some people have a vague feeling of embarrassment at even being in the gym, one that’s only partially alleviated because they’re in such generous company. Who wouldn’t feel a little uncomfortable trying to act like the “work” in working out doesn’t summarize our attitude to the place, an attitude that only highlights the fiendish devotion we have to whatever complex brings us there?

That’s why the people at the weights and machines have to feel a littleridiculous in front of sport-playing peers. At least these people are sugg having “fun,” moving organically instead of in act regularized, controlled jerks that reduce people to the final piece of a wretched machine! And in the weight room —well, about that room: FLASHBACK; Fifth century B.C. We’re in ancient Greece, and Socrates is expressing his *very* tender admiration for Charmides, the “most beautiful boy” in the gymnasium: “then, ah then, my noble friend, I saw inside his cloak and caught fire, and could possess myself no longer.” Now, if you go to the weight room of our own gym, you’ll be hardpressed to believe that most of the guys there don’t know another “beautiful boy” when they see oile. Whether that beautiful boy happens to be our own person —mirrors lining every wall make it an easy and übiquitous practice to metrosexually “check yourself out”—or the gigantic freak doing squats doesn’t matter. When Charmides enters the gym, Plato notes that “none of [the boys], not even the smallest, had eyes for anything else.” The practice didn’t die with ancient Greece. Should you choose not to believe me, go to the weight room in the evening, and watch when a “Charmides” comes in; all heads turn to him like a finicky magnet, moving toward and away with enough rapidity to make it seem like they’re ogling at the clock. If we guys came to the gym for larger muscles, what in the hell is going on in here? To Plato and Socrates, the gymnasium meant, literally, a “school for naked exercise.” Oh, how little things change. We’re naked all right, in all the ways we’d rather not be.
