Word of mouth, web used for course evals BY IZA WOJCIECHOWSKA THE CHRONICLE

At the end of each semester, students spend time filling in major codes, rating their workloads and determining whether their classes were exceptional or disastrous. Although course evaluations are sometimes posted on ACES, the ratings often do not suffice in helping students choose classes. Many students have developed their own methods of navigating ACES, not only to eliminate having classes at 8:45 a.m., but also to avoid getting stuck with the professor who drones for hours or assigns too many papers a week. “You can pretty much ask someone and use word of mouth, which is pretty much the standard around campus,” junior Mike Zimmerman said. Course evaluations currendy available on ACES are based on an opt-in system. Professors choose whether or not their evaluations are displayed with the course information. The Arts and Sciences Council voted on an opt-out policy in January; it failed by a margin of one vote.

At the time, Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College, noted that only 10 percent of course evaluation data is available on ACES. As ofApril, the opt-in rate for professors who taught courses in Fall 2004 was just 26 percent.

Nonetheless, students said they look at the ratings if they are available. “I look to see how difficult the class was the year before,” senior Brian McNiff said. “On ACES you can see the amount of work and how the class was.” McNiff added, however, that he also relies on word of mouth, and many students said the 1 to 5 ratings on ACES are not enough information. Instead, they turn to students who have previously taken the classes they are considering for advice. Some student organizations also have systematic methods of conveying information about classes to their members. Delta Delta Delta sorority members compile a packet of evaluations each semester to distribute among their sisters. “The number scale [on

Bush chooses new court nominee by

David Espo

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush nominated Appeals Court Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court Monday, hoping to usher in a historic new era of judicial conservatism while ending an earlier Republican divide. Members of the Senate’s Democratic

minority signaled a potentially bruising confirmation battle ahead, with abortion a key issue. Sen. Harr) r Reid, D-Nev., the party’s leader, asked whether Alito was “too radical for the American people” and wondered aloud “why those who want to pack

the court with judicial activists are so much more enthusiastic about him” than Harriet Miers. Bush, naming a replacement for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor four days after Miers withdrew her name, said Alito “has a deep understanding of the proper role of judges in our society.” “He understands thatjudges are to interpret the laws, not to impose their preferences or priorities on the people,” the president said. Within hours, Alito collected support from many of the critics who had opposed Miers. Alito’s politically conservative views were not in dispute. “Of course he’s

Hamilton, NJ. Despite the unguarded comments of a proud mother, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Penn., who will chair Judiciary Committee hearings, told reporters in the Capitol, “There is a lot more to do with a woman’s right to choose than how you feel about it personally.” Specter cited adherence to legal precedent in rulings over 30 years upholding abortion rights. Later, after a private meeting, Specter said, “I have no reason to catalogue him as .

U.N. calls for Syrian cooperation by

Edith Lederer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution Monday demanding Syria’s full cooperation with a U.N. investigation into the assassination of Lebanon’s former prime minister and warning of possible “further action” if it doesn’t. The United States, France and Britain pressed for die resolution following last week’s tough report by the U.N. investigating commission, which implicated top Syrian and Lebanese security officials in the Feb. 14 bombing that killed Rafik Hariri.

The report also accused Syria of not cooperating fully with the inquiry. The three co-sponsors agreed to drop a direct threat of sanctions against Syria in order to get support from Russia and China, which is opposing sanctions while the investigation is still under way. Nonetheless, the resolution was adopted under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, which is militarily enforceable. The resolution requires Syria to detain anyone the investigators consider a suspect and let investigators determine the location and conditions under which the individual would be questioned. It also would freeze

assets and

impose a travel ban on anyone identified as a suspect by the commission. Those provisions could pose a problem

for Syrian President Bashar Assad, as well as his brother, Maher Assad, and his brother-inlaw, Assef Shawkat, the chief of military intelligence. The Syrian leader has refused a request from the chief U.N. investigator to be interviewed. Investigators also want to question his brother and brother-in-law. The U.S. invited foreign ministers of the 15 Security Council nations to attend the meeting to send a strong message to Syria to cooperate with the inquiry, and a dozen ministers showed up.

Capping the bloodiest month for American troops since January, the U.S. military reported Monday that seven more U.S. service members were killed—all victims of increasingly sophisticated bombs that have become the deadliest weapon in the insurgents'arsenal.

Administration will not comply The White House Monday rebuffed calls for a staff shakeup, the firing ofKarl Rove and an apology by President George W. Bush for the role of senior administration officials in the unmasking of CIA operative Valerie Flame.

New magazine to embrace Tobacco Road rivalry by

Victoria Ward THE CHRONICLE

The rivalry between the Blue Devils and the Tar Heels is known to be one of the fiercest in the country'. Organizers of a new publication hope to capitalize on this in a way that brings the two campuses closer together than ever before. Rival Magazine, a new collaborative student publication between Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, seeks to document the relationships between the two schools. The magazine is the first student-run publication designed to illustrate and

highlight the shared undergraduate experiences at Duke and UNC, organizers say. The magazine’s executives intend for it both to entertain and raise awareness about opportunities on the campuses. Rival Magazine will be a vehicle for interaction, communication and collaboration, said sophomore Brint Markle, Rival Magazine co-founder. “Rival is more than just a magazine,” he said. “Rival is a connector—a connector between Duke and UNC, a connector between commercial enterprises and students, a connector between alumni and their alma mater and a connector between

Duke and UNC and their surrounding communities.” The idea for the magazine came from a class project in Public Policy Studies Professor Tony Brown’s Enterprising Leadership class in Spring 2004. “Tony’s class has been a catalyst for our project,” said junior Emily Znamierowski, Rival Magazine co-executive. “I think that without that structure, it would have been hard to accomplish the same things in the same amount of time.” Rival editors from Duke and UNC believe students on both campuses are interested in reading stories written from

a different perspective. “There is a genuine curiosity about what goes on at the other campus,” said Susie Baker, a freshman at UNC who works for the magazine. “We have had an amazing amount of feedback from kids who would like to write for the magazine.” Rival Magazine will include a section called “History of the Rivalry,” featuring interviews with former athletes, coaches and fans. In addition, the magazine will document a “Trend of the Month” and include SEE RIVAL ON PAGE 9

Many students were inebriated before they reached the party, and continued the revelry once they reached the street. But the alcohol created a semi-dangerous atmosphere. Drunken scuffles were met with the excitement of several middleaged individuals videotaping the festivities from the sidewalks. But the juxtaposition of barely dressed college girls and older gawkers proved awkward for Franklin Street newcomers. “I feel really uncomfortable having the old men on the side of the road videotape me in my skirt,” said freshman Rima Sestokas, who was dressed as a Catholic school girl. Akridge said there were more than 400 police officers on the scene from more than 11 different departments. The officers were present to subdue the crowd when necessary but not to crack down on underage drinking, Akridge added. Police said Alcohol Law Enforcement —which has cited numerous Triangle-area students in recent months—was not present at the party. Despite the precautions taken by authorities, the crowd seemed to have both a safe and fun Halloween. “The students seem to enjoy getting their pictures taken with [the police], and it’s away for us to enjoy ourselves too,” Abridge said. College Halloween parties across the nation have a reputation for being “out of control,” Abridge said. He attributed this concept to notorious riots that occur at colleges like the University ofWisconsin at Madison. “But it never gets that crazy,” he said of

CIEMAS effect.” “We couldn’t recruit anyone before we built CIEMAS,” Kristina Johnson, dean of the Pratt School of Engineering, said of the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences. Before CIEMAS’ construction, most engineering labs dated from World War 11, and a shortage of space forced some faculty to move their offices miles away to a complex near South Square mall. “Building on Excellence” set forth a series of goals for the University, chief among which were improving science and engineering facilities, recruiting top-tier faculty and promoting interdisciplinarity. When the “Campaign for Duke”—a fundraising effort that netted more than $2.36 billion for the University—overshot its target by $B6O million, the additional funds allowed University officials to address Duke’s structural needs. Shortly thereafter, the Board of Trustees signed off on CIEMAS. Johnson said she struggled to attract faculty for the school before construction ofCIEMAS began. “We hired 48 faculty in die last five years, and 47 of diose were after we broke ground on CIEMAS four years ago,” Johnson said. She added that CIEMAS also affected student recruitment, nodng that Pratt’s undergraduate yield jumped from 35 percent in 2004 to 40 percent this year. She said the quality of graduate student applicants has also increased. The French Science Center, an $115.2-million facility scheduled to open in December 2006, is a similar draw for natural sciences faculty. George McLendon, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, said ESC has enabled Duke to recruit scientists who otherwise would not have come to the University. Professor Warren Warren, a chemist who came to Duke this year from a tenured position at Princeton University, said he “never would have seriously considered” the move if it were not for the laboratory space McLendon promised him in FSC. Administrators hope the newly opened $24.8-million Nasher Museum of Art will have also have a positive influence on the University’s reputation and

faculty and student recruitment The museum is useful to the visual arts and art history departments. It also serves as a cultural draw for the Duke and Durham communities. But professors in departments from chemistry to political science have lauded the investment. “Until Nasher opened we couldn’t realtake a student to a world-class museum ly setting and say, ‘Duke’s about many, many things: It may be about Krzyzewskiville, but it is also about Nasher,”’ McLendon said. Carla Antonaccio, a new professor in the classical studies department, said she plans to incorporate Nasher’s student gallery and collection ofMesoamerican ceramics into her classes. Antonaccio previously served as the dean of arts and humanities at Wesleyan College. She said small schools like Wesleyan sometimes experience crises in confidence and pour money into luxurious student centers to attract applicants. “People here will complain that campus life and the Bryan Center are bad, but they come here anyway because of the academics,” Antonaccio said. “I feel that the institution has the resources and its priorities in line.” •

of interdisciplinarity. Gregas is a second-year graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering and a certificate in structural biology and biophysics. While Gregas’ Ph.D. will come from Pratt, her SBB certificate is the product of a collaborationbetween seven graduate and medical school departments. “Duke actually does interdisciplinary research,” Gregas said. “It’s not something we’re just talking about. It’s institutionalized.”. She cited CIEMAS as an example of Duke’s commitment to intellectual cross-

pollination.

Many others agree that Duke’s campus layout and facilities aid in collaborations. Unlike most university hospitals, Duke University Medical Center is directly adjacent to the academic campus. “If you’re at Harvard, the med school is way the hell away,” McLendon said. “At Duke, all I have to do is walk across the quad, and I’m there.” The proximity of the medical center to West Campus was a key factor in the attraction ofWarren and other scientists whose work crosses academic fields. Dr. Peter Agre, a Nobel laureate and DUMC vice chancellor for science and technology, said he came to Duke because he hoped to get involved in issues that integrate science and public policy.

The next Central focus Dozens of groundbreakings and grand openings later, administrators are assembling a new strategic plan. But both Provost Peter Lange and Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said campus construction will slow down. “It’s not good to feast or famine on new buildings,” Trask said. “The physical planning will be much more modest than it has been over the last five years.” For the near future, the focal point of investment is the overhaul of Central Campus. Lange said the University is creating a 40- to 50-year framework for the development of the 278-acre campus, which today is largely undeveloped aside from the Nasher museum and a disconnected constellation of student apartments. Lange and other administrators envision a Central Campus that is central in both the psychological and physical senses of the word. They imagine it as a home not just for upperclassmen in search of independent living but also as a potential site for the humanities and language departments that have not been the focii of strategic development in recent years. There is a general sense among administrators and faculty that Duke has spent .the last five years playing catch-up in scil ence and engineering. Now the University plans to address the arts and humanities, which McLendon said were not prioritized in recent years. Many administrators and faculty think a Nasher-anchored Central Campus is an opportunity to revitalize the humanities. “There’s a synergy there that might not be obvious,” Lange said. “Might it make learning French and learning about French culture more interesting and dynamic if at the same time you’re exposed to French paintings?” Just as “Building on Excellence” integrated the natural sciences, medicine and engineering, administrators said future strategic plans will seek to interlace the arts and humanities. “Facilities are not the most important part of that equation,” McLendon said. “But it certainly is a part of it.”

CLASSES from page 1 ACES] is so, inefficient, and you don’t know why they gave some professor a good score and why they gave this professor a bad score,” said Tri-Delt President Sara Oliver, a senior. The sorority members rate their courses in categories like “classes you should take in my major,” “classes you should take outside my major,” “classes to avoid at all costs” and “classes that will change your life.” The ratings are supplemented with detailed descriptions about the pros and cons of the classes. Other greek organizations develop networks among current and previous members. “We have no formal databases or information sheets,” Kappa Alpha Order President Rob Harris, a junior, wrote in an e-mail. “However, brothers often seek out majors of the departments in which they are looking for classes in order to obtain suggestions about specific classes or professors.” He added that alumni also often send out e-mails detailing classes they found beneficial in their post-graduate

careers.

Ratemyprofessors.com has also gained popularity as a diagnostic tool. Students can anonymously post comments on the site about specific professors and their classes.

For many students, the professor is more important than the class. Senior Meredith Tenison said she recendy discovered the website and found it to be helpful in choosing a course. “I love my professor,” Tenison said. “People [on the site] said how warm she was and enthusiastic, and she treats you like family, and that’s all really true.” She added that she looks at many other methods before choosing classes, however, such as reading ACES synopses, talking to professors and reading her sorority’s listservs of favorite professors. “It’s half-and-half reliable, but I would rather talk to someone than use the website,” sophomore Sam Howe said. In fact, most students said talking to friends remains the most accurate means of gaining information about classes and professors. ‘Your friends give you honest answers: Whether it’s interesting, easy, what to expect,” senior Anree Esguerra said.

Frist said the Senate would vote by year’s end if possible, in accord with Bush’s wishes. Several Senate aides said it could be several weeks into 2006 before the full Senate votes on the 55-year-old son of an Italian immigrant. Even before Alito arrived at the Capitol, both parties were researching his record. Democrats pointed to two cases in which he had issued rulings from the bench that were rejected by the Supreme Court. More than a decade ago, he upheld a requirement for spousal notification in an abortion case. Earlier this year, with O’Connor casting the deciding vote, the high court threw out a death sentence that Alito had upheld in the case of a man who argued that his lawyer had been ineffective. Democrats also expressed dismay over rulings on gun control, immigration and the Family and Medical Leave Act over a 15-year career on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. “I’m very disturbed by this, and the filibuster’s on the table,” said Sen.

Duke makes strong show! ng at ACCs by

What are these guys thinking? George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Bill Bennett... Oh wait, this is a sports column. But since we’re talking about people who have their heads in the wrong places, let’s use it as a segue to talk about two hot issues in sports and the respective men who cannot figure out where to stick their ego-enriched crania. 1) The men responsible for the annual BCS headache. Something has got to be done about the Bowl Championship Series standings that are currently used to help determine the national champion. The solution is called a PLAYOFF. How could you possibly not prefer an eight-team playoff to a set of complex formulas, statistical analysis and all other kinds of mumbo-jumbo devised by several dudes who have degrees in haven’t-everwatched-football-ology. There is a long enough break between the regular season and bowl week to play both the quarterfinals and semifinals in December, and the national championship game can be played the first week of January. This year’s most likely victim of the BCS’ faulty system, unbeaten ACC-leader Virginia Tech, could be the biggest snub since the “Bowl Championship Screw-up” began in 1998. Earlier this season, Virginia Tech clobbered then-No. 15 Georgia Tech, 51-7, Sept. 24, and toppled No. 13 Bostdn College, 30-10, Oct. 27. If the Hokies beat No. 5 Miami at home this weekend, they will inch closer to an undefeated regular season, and star quarterback Marcus Vick will likely be disappointed by the reward; watching a historic TexasUSC Rose Bowl matchup starring Vince Young and Matt Leinart. USC got the shaft in 2003 and passed it on to Auburn last year, so this could be the third straight season with a BCS headache. It’s starting to feel like a migraine. 2) David Stern and his NBA gang for this dress code business. It seems like every other SEE DRESS CODE ON PAGE 14

Poor execution continues to hurt Blue Devils by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Every Sunday afternoon, Duke players and coaches convene in the Yoh Football Center to watch a tape of Saturday’s game. And nearly every week the Blue Devils leave the screening room after an unpleasant viewing experience. After all, Duke has lost all eight ofits games to Division I-A opponents by an average of more than 28 points. “It’s gut-wrenching,” head coach Ted Roof said. ‘You look at the final score and the stats and that’s disappointing. Then when you look at the tape and see how close this play was, or how close that play was—I’m talking about a matter of inches.” The most recent Sunday tape session was especially tough to watch. In Saturday’s loss to Wake Forest, the Demon Deacons ran over the Blue Devil defense to the tune of 557 yards of total offense. Of the 557, 419 were on the ground. Duke defenders were either out of position to make plays or failed to tackle Head coach Ted Roof's team has made minor mistakes when the play came to them. that have contributed to Duke's eight losses in big ways. “On most plays we had either 9-of-ll or 10-

of-11 doing the right thing,” Roof said. “Some programs, when they go 9-for-ll or 10-for-11, somebody makes a play and it kind of erases it. Right now where we are with our margin for error we’ve got to operate at 11-for-ll.” Players missing assignments allowed small Wake Forest gains to become game-breaking plays. Wake Forest’s backs averaged more than eight yards per carry Saturday, including Chris Barclay’s 71-yard run in the third quarter. Duke’s defenders filled the wrong gaps and missed blocking assignments up front. This allowed the Demon Deacon offensive line to release up the field and block the linebackers who were schemed to be in position to make the play, Roof said. “Over the course of the ballgame these things add up and that’s what happened Saturday,” Roof said. “On defense there’s a bunch of independent jobs with a dependent result.” The mistakes were not just on defense in Saturday’s game, though.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nothing comes easy PITTSBURGH in the Ravens-Steelers rivalry, no matter the records or which team is healthy and which is hurting. Jeff Reed kicked a 37-yard field goal with 1:36 remainBALTiMORE 19 ing after Ben PITTSBURGH 20 Roethlisberger opened each half with touchdown passes to rookie tight end Heath Miller, and the Steelers held off the depleted Baltimore Ravens, 20-19, Monday night to tighten up the AFC North race. But only with a sigh of relief did Pittsburgh (5-2) end a two-game home losing streak and stay within a half-game of division leader Cincinnati. The Ravens (2-5), already in danger of falling out of the division race, were without the last two NFL Defensive Players of the Year, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Nevertheless, Baltimore hung around to the end of a surprisingly close game, before falling short and extending its road losing streak to seven games. “This is still Baltimore,” Steelers coach Bill Cowher said. “They still have some good players, and their coach challenged them and they responded.” The Ravens, two-touchdown underdogs, took a 19-17 lead after an uncharacteristic botched play by Pittsburgh’s special teams. Rookie Greg Warren’s snap to punter Chris Gardocki deflected off upback Sean Morey and resulted in Gardocki’s incomplete pass. “It’s a first,” Cowher said, saying Warren mistakenly snapped the ball early. “But we were holding them to field goals rather than touchdowns and got a chance to win it in the end.” Thanks to the mix up, the Ravens got the ball at the Steelers 45 with less than six minutes to play and a chance to steal a victory in a stadium where they haven’t won since 2001. Matt Stover followed with his fourth field goal, a 47-yarder with 3:21 remaining that gave the Ravens their first lead, and, to the crowd of 64,178, brought back memories of a similar 23-17 upset loss to Jack-

sonville at Heinz Field only two weeks ago. But Roethlisberger then hit Antwaan Randle El for 14 yards and Quincy Morgan for 23 yards, and Jerome Bettis had an 11yard run on the 60-yard drive that led to Reed’s go-ahead field goal. “I looked at Ben and said, 'This is what it’s all about,’” Cowher said. “He kind of smiled and has a look of confidence about him.” Baltimore had one more chance to win it, but Anthony Wright’s fourth-and-six pass from his own 47 fell at Chester Taylor’s feet and the Steelers ran out the clock. Wright was 25-of-44 for 252 yards and two intercep-

dons as running back Jamal Lewis, a 2,000yard back two years ago, was held below 100

yards for the seventh consecutive game. “I defy anybody to show me one frame of fdm that doesn’t show us playing as hard as we could,” Ravens coach Brian Billick said. “This group of guys had a lot of circumstances working against them, but they almost beat one of the best teams in the league.” The Steelers are 11-0 in Monday night home games under Cowher and Roethlisberger, who was hit on the right knee during the first half and seemed to be bothered the rest of the game, is now 18-1 as a

Jeff Reed connected on a game-winning, 37-yard field goal with 1:36 left in the Steelers' 20-19 win Monday.

Ravens this season—one that ended with Miller’s 4-yard touchdown catch. It was Miller’s fourth consecutive game with a touchdown, tying a Steelers record for a tight end set by Eric Green in 1991. “They were desperate,” Steelers defensive lineman Chris Hoke said. “They knew they could fall out of the race if they didn’t win.” The Ravens, who insisted before the game they could turn their season around by winning, matched the Steelers by driving 73 yards to tie it on Wright’s 13-yard TD swing pass to Taylor on a third-and-12 play. A holding call on Steelers cornerback Deshea Townsend on a third-down incompletion kept the drive going. Reed and Stover traded field goals that followed turnovers. Jamal Lewis fumbled after Roethlisberger pinned the Ravens back at their 1 with a quick kick—a play the Steelers have revived from the 1920s—but Roethlisberger later was intercepted for only the second time this season, by Adalius Thomas. The Ravens could have had a touchdown rather than the field goal, but Wright didn’t see a wide-open Derrick Mason in the end zone on a third-and-four play. Mason waved his arms at the quarterback in frustration, angering Wright, and the two exchanged words as they left the field ahead of Stover’s field goal. Stover later missed a 43-yarder off the right upright that would have put Baltimore up. The Steelers then came out and started the second half exactly the way they did the first, with Roethlisberger going 6of-6 on a 64-yard drive that again ended with a Miller touchdown, an 8-yarder that made it 17-10. Miller, the Steelers’ first round draft pick, has six touchdowns in his first seven NFL games. Stover later made a 43-yarder, then hit a 49-yarder—the longest by a visiting kicker at Heinz Field.

DRESS CODE from page 11 company is going more casual these days, but the NBA front office has swung in the other direction. Under the NBA’s new dress code the players must wear collars and cannot wear sneakers on their way to and from work. Critics say the players have the constitutional freedom to dress however they choose off the court. But at the same time the NBA is a private enterprise whose owners have the right to set rules on employee dress. The NBA thinks its doing this to better the image of the league, but is this situation creating a rift pitting the players on one side and the owners/executives on the other? David Stern is making the players look subordinate to the executives. The fact that 29-of-30 majority owners are white, while about 75 percent of the players are black

On die 2004 Racial and Gender Report Card, a study conducted by the University of Central Florida that examined the opportunities provided to women and minorities in sport, the NBA was the only men’s sports league that received an A in race—a mark given to leagues employing at least 24 percent minorities. The league’s two most recent major changes, the 19 year-old age minimum and the new dress code, might deem that grade meaningless. We can’t say that the policies are overtracist, but I think we should acknowlly edge their racial implications. The policies may be directed at all players, but when most of one side is white and most of the other is black, it raises questions. If the NBA front office wants to get some extra credit and bring that grade back up, it should present an image of the players and the owners on the same level.

ARMANDO HUARINGA/THE CHRONICLE

Duke's missed defensive assignments enabled Wake Forest to rush for 419 yards Saturday.

FOOTBALL

of any game this season—but they only totaled 50 on the ground on 31 carries. Blockers missed their assignments by engaging Wake Forest defenders in the wrong position or pushing them the wrong way, Roof said. “We tend to self-destruct,” said freshman wideout Eron Riley, who led Duke with 56 receiving yards against the Demon Deacons. “We make our own mistakes. In the ACC we don’t play bad teams. If we make mistakes they’re going to

capitalize.”

The lapses in execution have become especially frustrating for the Blue Devils because they have continued to occur throughout the season. Duke has been particularly susceptible to big plays in the third quarter. Barclay’s long run was part of a 17-point outburst by Wake Forest Saturday in the third quarter that added to

the season-long trend The offense stalled after the first half touchdown pass from quarterback Zack Asack to Riley. After wide receiver Ronnie Elliot dropped an open pass from Asack on a key third-and-nine situation, the Blue Devils were unable to muster any real threat. Roof said that play was not the only one that hurt the team, though. “That just was glaring because it happened out in front of everybody,” he said. “Some of these other things you really have to be watching and know what’s going on to be able to pinpoint.” With only two games and three weeks of practice remaining in the season, Duke has little time left to correct its problems. In practice, the team will continue to focus on becoming more precise in its execution. “The coaches do a good job of preparing us, putting us in spots to make plays,” Riley said. “We have to go out there and make them. It’s more on the players than anything.”

the constitutionality of the citations will revolve around how these questions get answered. And here again the subjective piece of the law enters,-as must weigh abstract possibilities and what-ifs. As codified as the law is, constitutionality still comes down to a matter of judgment. At a time when so many students and citizens learn die finer points of our judiciary system through television, this is an actual experience with the frustrations and minute variations of the law. It is also a moment—probably the first for many—in which students are faced with the task of defending their own civil rights. While most are likely acting in their own best interests as well, it is cases like this that continue to preserve the freedoms that American is founded upon. Whatever the outcome, this is a good fight to have fought.

A loss of trust

when officers must obtain a warrant, it is clear that students’ cries of civil rights violations were at least well founded. During the first day of the pre-trial hearing to have the evidence thrown out, an ALE officer admitted that he and his colleagues entered the house without a warrant and did not read students their Miranda rights. In a Law & Order version of court, this would appear to be the climactic moment. But the nuances of real-life law are not so simple. Under some circumstances, officers can proceed without a warrant. The crux of this case hinges on whether the events during August qualify them to be excepted from a warrant. Would ALE officers have been in danger if they had waited for a warrant? If they had waited for one, would evidence have disappeared? The decision about
