COLUMBUS, Ohio The final round of the NCAA Championships proved to be little more than a coronation for No. 1 Duke, which made its run to a second consecutive national title look easy as it cruised to a 10-stroke victory over No. 4 Southern California at the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University last Friday. Finishing with a four-day total of 1,167—15 strokes over par—the Blue Devils won their fourth national title and the eighth overall for the University. The women’s golf team also took home tides in 1999, 2002 and 2005. “Performance comes in cycles, and we were in a good cycle,” head coach Dan Brooks said. ‘You have to take it one athlete at a time, that’s why we did well.” The only major drama of the final

At least five houses off East Campus that are now owned by Duke will be put on the market this summer, officials announced this week. In March, the University purchased 15 properties—most of which were studentoccupied residences—from owner Guy Solie, Trinity ’67. At the time, the purchase received rave reviews from many Durham residents, who noted that some of the houseshave received an infamous reputation in recent years—including two which are now being sold. The five properties confirmed for sale are 508, 704 and 708 N. Buchanan Blvd., 1111 Urban Ave. and 203 Watts St. The 203 Watts St. house was the site of an alleged sexual assault in 2001, which led to the eventual disaffiliation of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. In addition, the 508 N. Buchanan Blvd. house made headlines when the off-campus fraternity Eta Prime held a baby oil wrestling match there in January 2005. Since the March announcement, the University has not hidden its plan to turn

the houses into single-family residences, thus terminating the properties as locations for student partying. Officials have repeatedly said they will require a deed covenant from buyers ensuring that the owners live in the houses they buy. When it bought the houses, the University announced that it would honor thenheld leases until their conclusion. “There were signed leases for all the houses for the remainder of the current academic year, and there were quite a few leases for the upcoming academic year as well,” said JeffPotter, director ofreal estate administration at Duke. Potter said properties are being put on the market now because leases are beginning to run out, adding that the number of properties up for sale is largely contingent upon the resolution of those leases. Some tenants, however, have decided to terminate their leases early, he added. “Fewer people are going to be leasing the properties than expected, and we have more properties [for sale] than planned

Before leaving for meetings in Europe on Iran, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that while the United States was willing to join talks between European nations and Iran, it was also helping to prepare a package of sanctions that Tehran could face should it decline the new offer. “We’re prepared to go either way,” Rice said. The overture to join stalled European

talks came after mounting pressure on the United States from European allies. The administration is convinced Russia and China will support sanctions or other harsh measures if new talks fail to persuade Iran to abandon nuclear efforts the West fears could lead to a bomb, a senior administration official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the secretary was continuing talks with other countries. Rice will be working to reaffirm such support Thursday.

More than two months after the off-campus party where an exotic dancer was allegedly raped by members of the men’s lacrosse team, new evidence is still coming to light and conversation about the lacrosse scandal continues to spark interest. A motion filed by defense attorneys last Friday stated that the accuser did not identify at least one of the indicted players in an initial photo lineup, which was presented eight days after the alleged incident. Defense attorneys representing David Evans, Trinity ’O6, asked for narrative documents from police lineups presented to the dancer March 16 and March 21. According to the Raleigh News and Observer, in the latter lineup Durham Police Department officers presented the accuser with official photos of the lacrosse team, identical to those posted on the University’s athletics website, Goduke.com. Evans’ photo was in a group labeled “Did not pick any,” the paper reported. April 4, during a third photo identification session that was videotaped, the dancer identified Evans, saying he “looks like one of the guys who assaulted me, sort of.” , The accuser said she would be 90 percent certain of Evans’ identity as one of her attackers if the man had a mustache. “Mr. Nifong knows that David Evans has SEE LAX ON PAGE

Profs blueprint invisibility cloak by

McGowan Jasten CHRONICLE THE

Avid fans of Harry Potter and his magical invisibility cloak may one day don a cloak of their own, thanks to new research by professors in the Pratt School of Engineering. David Smith and David Schurig of Pratt's department of electrical and computer engineering—along with Sir John Pendry, professor of physics at Imperial College London—believe they have developed a practical blueprint for an invisibility cloak that could someday shield objects from the human eye. “Our blueprint proposes redirecting electromagnetic fields around an objectin essence, creating a black hole in place

of the object,” said Smith, an associate

professor.

“But real-life Harry Potter invisible

disguises will likely be a long way away,”

he added. The proposal was published in the May 25 issue of Science Express, the online version of the publication Science. Researchers conceived the cloak, which is the first such device to redirect electromagnetic waves around an object, with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. A blueprint for the invisibility cloak calls for the use of exotic metamaterials, which gain electromagnetic properties from their structure rather than the materials from which they are composed. The metamaterials are artificial structures in which tiny circuits replace the molecules and atoms that make up materials until the original image is reformed around the object, Smith said. He compared the process of light waves moving around the cloak to that of stream water flowing around a rock. But before objects become invisible to

the human eye, scientists must alter the use of metamaterials to function on the scale of a nanometer-a six-fold decrease in wavelength compared to radio waves. “We can envision maybe making something that would work as low as at radio frequency,” Smith said. “Scientists are working towards these things, but first the concepts need to be successfully merged and applied.” The cloak could potentially be used for various applications, including military and communication devices. “Besides use for obstruction of objects from the human eye, devices could also be used to divert an array of other electromagnetic waves,” Smith said. In the past, Smith and others have used metamaterials with radio waves to clarify antenna reception, making small antennae work as if they were larger ones. Next the researchers, whose work focuses on the applications ofmetamaterials, will apply the improved technology to new wavelengths, which should make visible waves appear invisible in theory, the team reported. The “artificial materials,” which consist of the same materials as a pentium chip, are currently used to manipulate various larger wavelengths, and are used in antennae, optical devices and switches, Smith said, noting they come at a cheap price in large quantity. Based on the blueprint, however, those eventually donning the cloak would have to keep their eyes closed, as it would hinder their ability to see. “I think everyone would have their own personal uses of the cloak,” Smith said.

A draft of the University strategic plan indicates that Duke will spend nearly $1.3 billion during the next six to eight years in order to stimulate the University’s intellectual core, address long-standing challenges and develop Phase I of Central Campus. As laid out in a May draft of the document that was presented to the Board of Trustees, the University’s primary goals for the next five years are to enhance the faculty, foster engagement in real world issues, attract superior graduate and undergraduate students, heighten the arts and further integrate teaching with technology. Funds will also be allotted for renovations to East and West Campus facilities, and for the construction of new buildings for the School of Medicine, the Fuqua School ofBusiness and the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. “[ln the previous strategic plan], we needed to make a major step up in our facilities that had been somewhat neglected on the academic side,” Provost Peter Lange said. “We now have to fill those buildings with great people and great programs.” $1,296.9 million is projected to cover all strategic expenditures in the next six to eight years. Of this money, 27 percent will hind Central, 19 percent will fund academic programming and 42 percent will fund other buildings and facilities. The University expects to borrow $598 million to cover these costs—nearly half of the entire budget. Thirteen percent of the total is anticipated to come from fundraising, and the rest will be funded through a combination of operating and strategic funds. SEE PLAN ON PAGE 8

Hasan Kafi, a local cab driver, pleaded guilty to charges of misdemeanor sexual battery last week but will face no jail time. Kafi was arrested in April 2005 on allegations that he assaulted a female Duke student. A charge of felonious kidnapping was dismissed because the victim refused to cooperate with the prosecution, said Assistant District Attorney Tracey Cline, who

“In a criminal case, you have to have the witness there to present evidence in front of the jury,” Cline said. “I could have dismissed all of the charges, but I felt like that wasn’t what we needed to do. There had to be some record of what he had done.” Kafi was sentenced to a 60-day suspended jail sentence and 18 months of probation, the Herald-Sun reported May 23. Cline said she has been prosecuting cases of sexual violence for 14 years, and in her experience it is not uncommon for victims to refuse to come forward. “Sometimes people feel better in not coming forth to give that information, to have a public display in front of strangers,” Cline said. “Any type of sexual offense case where a woman or man has to come forward and speak about a personal thing—that type of violation... is very difficult.” Kafi was arrested April 18, 2005 on the two charges after the Durham Police Department received an anonymous tip. His attorney, James Williams, could not be reached for comment. The Chronicle learned the charges originated with a Duke student who initially made a complaint through the Duke University Police Department. The Chronicle does not identify victims of sexual assault. The incident happened after midnight April 2, 2005. The student had been at a party at George’s Garage and had called Kafi to take her home.

The water shared by Israelis and Palestinians could one day help to quench a thirst for peace, Duke scientists announced recently. While negotiations remain stalled between the governments of Israel and the Palestinian National Authority over regional and political resources in the Gaza Strip, University professors believe collaborative efforts to remedy the region’s water crisis could help move talks forward. “Right now there is a lull in peace negotiations,” said Erika Weinthal, associate professor of environmental policy at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. “But water is essential for the economies of both regions.” Weinthal, who studies the role of the environment in the processes of state-building and peacemaking, said collaborations for countering the water crisis could play a key role in easing tensions, perhaps one day helping to sustain peaceful relations. Israel and the PNA share water resources in both the Gaza Strip and the

West Bank. The shared aquifer in the Gaza Strip is the sole freshwater source for agricultural and domestic use. Increased pumping of water resources in the region—which has a population of about 1.4 million—has led to rising pollution in fresh groundwater, said Avner Vengosh, a geochemist and associate professor of earth and ocean sciences at the Nicholas School and Weinthal’s husband. To make matters worse, increased natural flow of water from Israel to the Gaza Strip has also resulted in salinization of the shared aquifer, said Vengosh, who has traced sources of salinity and harmful contaminants using chemical and radioactive detectors. One challenge researchers have noted is that the use of dams to control water flow would worsen the problem, increasing the inflow of salinized water to the shared water source, Vengosh said. “There exists no major dispute among the scientific community about what SEE WATER ON PAGE 6

Clowns to perform Macbeth in Duke Gardens by

Katherine Macllwaine THE CHRONICLE

Ask most students to describe the Shakespearean style, and they will probably recite words such as “soliloquy,” “tragedy” or “iambic pentameter.” Lecturing fellow Jay O’Berski, however, is unlikely to have any of these traits in mind. When a member of the Duke studentrun Wendell Theatre Group asked O’Berski to direct a Shakespearean comedy, he proposed an alternative idea—an unusual comedic version of the tragedy “Macbeth.” The group of students and alumni will make his vision a reality when 13 actors and three musicians stage “Macbeth” in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens on the last two weekends in June. But in place of Shakespeare’s traditional Old English verse, the show will feature another medieval art form —the clown. “I had never liked ‘Macbeth’—it always seemed way too testosterone-driven, and yet the main character seemed to be a weakling,” O’Berski said. “I started to think ofit in terms of a show ofred noses and balloon swords and ridiculous gags.” O’Berski has worked with the performers to create a new language he calls “clown speak.” In place of dialogue, the actors will make zany clown-like noises, occasionally uttering random words from the original text that they found humorous. For example, the actors may exclaim “puckle” —a term for demon—or “Sweno”—the name of the King of Norway in the original play. “We’re trying to boil it down to the essence of the story,” O’Berski said. “We

JIANGHAI

read a scene and then we try to figure out what would be the most ridiculous thing that would tell the story.” A musical score composed by Adam Sampieri, Trinity ’O3, will accompany the entire performance. Although the accompaniment will include traditional instruments like the guitar and the clarinet, it will also feature several more eccentric elements. A professional musician will play a saw with a bow, and each actor will play an instrument—ranging from the kazoo to the accordion—when not on stage. O’Berski said he pictures characters donning red clown noses, spandex, gog-

gles and combat boots to create what he described as “a cross between a modern dancer and a ‘frog man.”’ Props will be created out of balloons, and O’Berski envisions the final act as a “bloody” battle of water balloons filled with fruit punch. The group is still in the process of staging the show, however, so many of the play’s elements, such as potential interaction between the actors and the audience, have yet to be established. “We have to create as we go,” O’Berski said. “Ideas come from mutations in rehearsal, so I try not to have too many at home that might not work when we actually

get on our feet.”’ He added that the traditional “European clowning method” has played a role in the rehearsal process. “It’s more naive and more like an actual person than a thing that you sort of sit and watch and laugh at,” Matt Hooks, Trinity ’O6, said of the European version of a clown. Hooks will be playing Macbeth’s shadow, a role that does not exist in the actual text. “[The European clown] is a little more holistic and it comes out of the person who you are,” he added. In this framework, the actors spent two days creating “signature clown” identities based on their own personalities. “If you took all of your own traits as a person and pushed them to the limit, that’s what the clowns are like,” said Artistic Director Danny Bischoff, a senior who will portray a witch. “They’re like hyper-extended versions of yourself.” Out of these workshops, Macbeth emerged as a “cowardly rat” and Hooks will play a “samurai ninja” interpretation of the shadow, O’Berski said. In addition, one important rule has been enforced during rehearsals. “[The actors] are not allowed to speak English when they have their noses on,” O’Berski explained. “That’s an old clown tradition.” O’Berski said he found the most challenging aspect of directing the show to be translating the classic tragedy into comedic form, but the actors said they have enjoyed the process. “It’s been a very intense acting experience for me,” Bischoff said. “It’s kind of like letting go completely of sanity.”

newly formed states, she said. Although some Central Asian states possessed more

Weinthal said international organizations could serve as a key third party in solving the water crisis—making the proposed solution a win-win situation. “Not only would both regions receive water resources, but also international credibility and international aid [if the environment became a political focus] with the proposed collaborations,” she said. Weinthal hopes that the economic value of environmental changes—including improved access to water for agriculture—will one day influence peace among Palestinians and Israelis. “Water is a source of tension,” she said. “But it often serves to bring people together.”

LAX from page 3 never had a mustache,” Joseph Cheshire, one of Evans’ attorneys, said emphatically at a press conference held the afternoon of Evans’ indictment. “This 90 percent-identified person who had a mustache was not David Evans.” Evans was indicted May 15 on charges of first degree forcible rape, first degree sexual offense and first degree kidnapping—crimes that allegedly occurred at a party March 13—and is scheduled to make his first court appearance the week of June 19. Juniors Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann were arrested on the same charges April 19. Although many legal analysts have predicted a trial could last until next year, President Richard Brodhead said if the charges against Seligmann and Finnerty were dropped before Fall semester begins, he would expect them to resume attending the University. Both students stopped attending classes once the charges were brought against them. In recent weeks, as national media attention has turned away from Durham and students have left campus for their summer vacations, the scandal was still on the minds ofmany campus and community members. “My God’s honest opinion, I don’t think she was raped,” said Wallace Smith, a resident ofWalltown, an area a few blocks from East Campus. “I hope to God something really happened.... Ruining somebody’s career—that’s wrong.” His neighbor, Mike Singletary, said the perceived rift between Duke and Durham that the incident created is nothing new. “I grew up in this town. Back when I was a kid, there was always a divide,” he said. ‘We’ll never know the truth. Only the girl and those boys will ever know the truth.” Some students said that emerging evidence, rather than shedding light about what happened at the party, further complicated the case. “I think it sort of adds to the muddled nature of the whole case,” saidseniorJay Ramesh. “I don’t want to say anything prematurely, but [new evidence has] been putting a lot of stuff the lacrosse players have been accused of into question.” The Associated Press contributed to this story.

She entered the front seat ofKafi’s cab when he arrived at the restaurant. “That was my first mistake,” she told The Chronicle last April. The student said she asked to be taken back to her dormitory, but Kafi drove her to a gas station instead, where she bought a drink. The gas station, the student said, was well past West Campus—a fact she failed to notice because of her intoxication-. “My reaction time was slow,” she said. “If I had been sober, things would have clicked a lot sooner. I wasn’t aware.... I’m sure he knew that.” When she returned to the cab, she said Kafi offered her marijuana. She said he also asked her, “Why aren’t we hanging out? How come we never hang out?” to which she responded, “We are hanging out, until you take me back to West Campus.” At that point, she started sending text messages to her ex-boyfriend. The first message read, “Please, I need u,” and was followed by a message 11 minutes later saying, “omg, ok help I can’t get back.” She said the messages continued throughout the ride and she thought Kafi may have asked whom she was text messaging. Kafi then allegedly began to massage her neck and back as he continued to drive. She said she slid over as far as possible toward the door. After repeatedly ignoring her wishes to return to West Campus, Kafi parked in a hotel parking lot, the student said. Kafi allegedly turned the cab around and took the student back to Duke after she vomited multiple times. The student told The Chronicle she had ridden with Kafi on at least five different occasions and said he had offered her and her friends marijuana and alcohol on previous rides. The students were rarely, if ever, charged cab fare, she added. Prior to the incident, Duke students had held Kafi in high regard. In January 2005, The Chronicle printed an article that described his popularity among students—especially female undergraduates who neededlate-night transportation. “I only call Kafi,” then-junior Jenny Key said in January 2005. “We have the nicest conversations, and he always remembers my name. Probably because I’m saved as Jenny’ in his phone.”

HOUSES from page 1 for,” Potter explained. Potter also said it was unlikely any housing deals would be closed before July. “If we could start taking offers late in the summer, I’d be pleased,” he said. 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.—the site of an alleged rape involving the men’s lacrosse team—was not among those listed for sale. The property, formerly rented by three captains of the lacrosse team, was purchased by the University only weeks before the accusations arose. Neither Potter nor President Richard Brodhead commented on whether the specific property will be on the market in the near future. Brodhead noted, however, that he expects the University’s original intention of purchasing 610 Buchanan—selling it to an interested family—to be flilfilled.“lt will find a new use over time,” Brodhead said. Although the University has warned prospective buyers that the properties are older and will likely require repairs, significant interest has already been shown in the real estate, Potter said.

successful debut, arts have become an even higher priority for the University. Proposed new certificate programs in architecture and in cultural policy and arts management are underway, along with increased programming and better facilities across all three campuses. Music will be focused on East Campus after the renovation of Baldwin Auditorium, and spaces on the new Central will house the Digital and VisualArts programs. West Campus will be a hub for the performing arts, with planned renovations to Page Auditorium and the Bryan Center theaters. Additionally, as more students engage in independent research, the availability of library resources will be strengthened and the

innovative use of technology in and out of the classroom will be highly encouraged. Beyond the wide-ranging renovations, a new facility will be constructed around the Gross Chemistry Building to house the Nicholas School, and the School of Medicine has plans to build a signature facility on Research Drive. Fuqua officials also expect to begin constructing a new classroom building in Summer 2006, and the Law School intends to undergo major renovations as well. The University’s last strategic plan, Building on Excellence, was completed in 2005. The Campaign for Duke, the major fundraising initiative that spanned from 1996 to 2003, raised more than$2.3 billion.

CHOOSING A CAREGIVER You can help to provide a safe and happy experience for your family member and your caregiver by doing the following: •

•

Read a good reference source on using caregivers in your home. Booklets and videos are available through the lending library of Staff and Family Programs at 154 Trent Hall. Call 684-9040. Decide on questions you will ask the prospective caregiver during the phone interview. Include: Their experience with infants and children or older people; Any training in CPR, first aid or in child or elder care; What they like to do with children or older people; Availability; Fee; Transportation. Tell the prospective caregiver about your family. Describe the person(s) for whom care is needed and discuss any special needs. Check references.

Arrange a personal visit. � Give tour of home. � Discuss emergency plans for fire, etc. � Give basic care instructions. � Discuss preferred methods of discipline and/or communications. � Present a situation involving your child or elder; ask how caregiver would respond. � Allow time for caregiver and child or elder to get acquainted. � Always ensure a safe trip home for the caregiver.

dental care as a A: Providing caregiver requires

patience. Whether it’s an elderly person or one with developmental disabilities, the caregiver can help ensure good oral hygiene. Here are a few tips on how to effectively brush someone else’s teeth. First, start by washing your hands and putting on sanitary, disposable gloves. Stand or sit where you have a good view of all the teeth and make sure you have good light. Apply only a small amount of fluoride toothpaste to the toothbrush. Place the bristles on the tooth at a 45-degree angle and begin brushing by sweeping down and away from the gumline. Start in one area of the mouth and clean all the teeth in that area, upper and lower, before moving to the other side. After all the tooth surfaces have been brushed, gently brush the gums and tongue. Help the person rinse with plain water. A power toothbrush may be easier to use, especially if the caregiver has arthritis or difficulty holding or manipulating small objects. Also, ensure that the elderly person goes to the dentist at least twice a year for a checkup and thorough professional cleaning. Presented as a service to the Duke Community by Dr. Peter A. Tzendzalian, DDS. More questions? Call me.

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

After the first day of action at the NCAA Championships in Sunriver, Ore., Duke is alone in 14th place at 2-over par, 13 strokes behind leader Wake Forest. As a team, the 20th-rankedBlue Devils carded seven holes of double bogey or worse, but they notched 15 birdies to stay in the running. “Some of [the double ry...- | bogeys] are poor decision-making, others are just poor shots,” head J coach Rod Myers said. “There are a lot of water and wedands, you make a bad shot, you’re locked into double bogey. Those things killed us.” Duke was led by Michael Schachner, who fired a l-under 71 in the four-day tournament’s opening round and sits in a tie for 28th place. The sophomore turned in five birdies on the afternoon and carded only one double bogey on the par-five sixth hole. Senior Ryan Blaum and freshman Clark Klaasen finished one stroke behind their teammate and are in a 51st-place tie at even par. Both players were over par on the opening nine holes, but they rebounded on the back nine and got back to even before the round was over. Jake Grodzinsky, who had six top 10 finishes in the regular season and was named to the All-ACC team, shot a 3-over 75 to round out Duke’s scoring at 290. “Watching our guys play in practice rounds, they’re as ready to play as they have been all year,” Myers said. __

Katie Chrest, who was named an All-American this week, ledDuke with three goals in defeatFriday.

BOSTON Duke was inches away from its first trip to an NCAA title game. Caroline Cryer’s shot with 18 seconds to go in regulation, which could have won the game for the Blue Devils, sailed just wide, sending the 10-10 contest into overtime. Northwestern scored during the first extra period and held off the Blue Devils, 11-10, Friday at Boston University’s Nickerson Field to advance to the NCAA title game. The Wildcats went on to beat Dartmouth, 74, in the championship game Sunday. NorthN'WESTERN JJ western—whose DUKE 10 only loss over the past two seasons came in an April 7, 16-10, loss to Duke in Durham this year—took home its secondstraight NCAA tide. “Our team played their hearts out tonight, and you know, we- were right there—we were right there,” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said after the game. “I couldn’t be more proud of a team that I’ve coached in 11 years”. Top-seeded Duke (18-3) and the fourth-seeded Wildcats (19-1) went into halftime tied 6-6, and the score remained locked at 10 apiece with time winding down in regulation. With under two minutes to go, Duke had the ball in Northwestern’s half and held for a final shot.

Sweatband motto honors men's team Taylor Field THE CHRONICLE

When the Blue BOSTON Devils faced off against Northwestern in the semifinals of the NCAA Championships in Boston May 26, they were sporting more than goggles and mouthguards. In a show of support for the embattled men’s lacrosse team, many of the women’s players wore bands on their arms or legs that read “No excuses, No regrets.” Some players added the numbers of the three male players —Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans—who have been indicted on rape charges.

TIAN, QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Duke players sported sweatbands that read "No excuses, No regrets" during Friday's semifinal game in Boston.

Although The Durham HeraldSun originally said the wristbands would display the word “Innocent,” head coach Kerstin Kimel denied the report, asking reporters, “Should you believe everything that’s printed?” “We had intentions of showing support for the men’s program all along,” Kimel said at a press conference after the game. “The message we were going to put on the bands was intended to be undecided until we came to Boston.” Kimel said the motto for the wristbands was adopted from the men’s team. “That was the message that the men started with this year,” she said. “They expected to be in the same exact position that we were in, and we wanted the message to be something that they understood and was meaningful to them.” Kimel stressed that the wristbands and media attention devoted to them were not a distraction to the team in any way. She also the decision to wear the bands and the specifics of their message had been the players’ decision. “Any attention we got about the wristbands paled in comparison to having media staked out at your practice, and at your facility, and outside your dorm, and watching your friends be arrested, having your parents hounded by the 24hour news cycle because they want comments from you,” Kimel said. When asked, Duke players declined to comment on the wristbands.

sending the game into overtime,

Northwestern took control off the first draw in oyertime and slowed down the pace of the offense until, with 37 seconds remaining in the first of the two three-minute extra periods, fifthyear senior Sarah Albrecht sprinted in through the right side of the Duke arc and spun by two defenders to fire the gamewinning goal past Duke goalie Megan Huether’s left hip. The Blue Devils’ Katie Chrest had an opportunity to score with 1:53 remaining in the second overtime, but her shot was saved by Northwestern goalie Morgan Lathrop, allowing the Wildcats to gain possession until the final buzzer. “I had my defender pinned on the other side of the crease and I went around, not really fny best shot,” Chrest said. “She made a good save, and [my shot] wasn’t good enough.” In a back-and-forth game that saw eight ties and seven lead changes, the Blue Devils, who had beaten every team that reached the tournament’s quarterfinals, scored first when Jester found Chrest for a score a little more than two minutes into the game. Duke took a 4-3 lead on Kim Pastrana’s goal with 10:53 to go in the first half, but the Wildcats then went on a three-goal run over the next 4:13 to shift the margin to 6-4 in their favor, spurring Kimel to call a time out. “To win a national championship you have to beat the best team, and we played one of the best teams today,” Huether said. “They’re going to find ways to

You can shut down options, but they kept fighting, and I give them a lot of credit for that.” Duke regrouped after the time out and in response to the Northwestern run, the Blue Devils racked up two goals in 11 seconds to knot the game at 6-6 going into the break. Duke’s momentum continued into the second half and the Blue Devils took an 8-6 lead with 24 minutes to play. Again, Northwestern fought back and went on a 30 run to lead, 9-8. “Unfortunately, we gave them too many easy looks when we took away maybe the first and the second thing they really wanted,” Kimel said. “Then, the third and fourth [tries] they were able to take advantage of pretty easily, too often.”

Duke bounced back and scored two goals in nine seconds to take a one-goal lead at 10-9 before the Wildcats’ Kristen Kjellman bounced the ball past Huether to send the contest to overtime, the first semifinal game to have extra periods since 2002. Even though they did not pull off the overtime win, Duke set school records for wins in a season and wins over ranked opponents. “It’s a game of inches, and I think that’s what sports are all about,” Kimel said. “The loss, to be honest, is hard, because all season 10ng... myself and our players had to shelve a lot of emotion. And to their credit, they used all of that emotion to get us where we’ve taken this team this year. “I can’t express how proud I am of our team for how they endured.”

McNally looks to build by

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

Duke culminated its season with a thrilling come-from-behind, walk-off win over UNC-Asheville May 17. Trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the ninth, the Blue Devils (15-40) got a clutch two-out, two-run double from senior Javier Socorro and a wild pitch to stun the Bulldogs. The dramatic victory can be seen as a microcosm for the program’s progress as a season whole over the course wrap-up of the season, coming back from the edge of defeat to seize victory. The 2006 season was all about coming back and starting fresh. With a new manager, new uniforms and several new faces, Duke desperately needed to restore the integrity of a program tarnished by a steroid scandal and a controversial coach. Former Blue Devil shortstop Sean McNally took over as manager, replacing Bill Hillier, who had been accused of encouraging steriod use during a tumultuous and unsuccessful six-year stint at Duke. McNally made his presence known early, forcing all his players to earn spots on the roster in order to institute what the manager called “a positive culture of discipline and structure.”

The 2006 campaign was free of scandals on and off the field, and McNally believes that his team has begun the restoration of Duke baseball. “It’s a process of building an infrastructure and we’ve made tremendous strides,” McNally said. “I’m excited for next year and beyond.” That type of intangible success, however, was not reflected as much on the field, where the Blue Devils struggled to their eighth consecutive losing season, finishing 11th in the ACC with a 6-24 record. Duke did win two road series for the first time in a dozen years, a substantial accomplishment considering that the team did not win a single game on the road in 2005. Nine of Duke’s final 11 games were against teams ranked in die top 10 in die nation. Although die Blue Devils were swept by North Carolina, Clemson and Georgia Tech, they were vasdy more competitive than they had been earlier in the season. Duke pounded UNC ace Andrew Miller for 12 hits in six innings, the most the touted prospect has given up all season. Against the Yellow Jackets, the Blue Devils held the lead or were tied after five innings in each of the three games. “We certainly made progress on the field as reflected in how competitive games were

Ist-year’s progress

with top 10 teams in the country and the best teams in our conference,” McNally said. The season-ending win, however, ended a 10-game losing streak and provided the departing seniors with a more tangible manifestation of success. “To win in a walk-off fashion at home with our seniors playing such a big part was pretty special,” McNally said. “They really were a great illustration of how to play the game hard, how to play it right.... It’s not going to be easy [to replace them].” Duke seems to have the pieces in place, however, to build upon the foundation laid by McNally in his first season. Junior Jonathan Anderson led the team in hitting with a .313 average. Sophomores Brett Barties and Jimmy Gallagher led the team in home runs with seven and six, respectively. Freshman Nate Freiman hit .304 and smacked five long balls despite missing nearly 30 games with an elbow injury. McNally understands, though, that his team is still some time away from becoming seriously competidve in arguably the nation’s toughest conference. “In this league, as competitive as it is, we just have to focus on each day, each game and each season,” McNally said. “Our goal for next year will be to get in that top eight [to qualify for the ACC Championships].”

behind, entering the final day tied with Schreefel for second place and playing with her in the final group. “I was nervous all day but I reminded myself to stay patient really well so it worked out well,” Lee said. The other Blue Devils weren’t too far behind Lee’s pace. Playing in her final tournament at Duke, Janangelo recovered from four consecutive bogeys on the front nine Friday—including the ball in the water on the fourth hole—and carded 12 straight pars to finish her collegiate career. She finished tied for 12th. Both defending-champion Anna Grzebien and sophomore Jennifer Pandolfi recorded scores of 1-over-par 73 on the last day to finish tied for 21st. After a career that included a National Player of the Year award her sophomore year and consecutive National Championships her final two seasons, Janangelo will now head to pro circuit and be the only golfer not to return for next season. And with three talented freshmen joining the team next year, the chance at a three-peat was discussed after a brief victory celebration. “It’s been unbelievable just to be a part of two championship teams and to have such talented and great people as my teammates for the past four years,” Janangelo said. “I think the team will be in good hands after I leave.”

His list of accomplishments is as long and distinguished as that ofany Duke or Division I coach. Brooks broke the record for total career wins in the NCAA this season when he won his 92nd tournament at the Stanford Intercollegiate Oct. 23. He increased that total to 95 when he won his fourth National Championship last week. Also on the resume of “Coach B,” as President George W. Bush dubbed him when the Blue Devils were honored on the White House lawn last summer, are 11 concsci live ACC Championships and four National Coach of the Year Awards. When Brooks arrived at Duke in 1984 after having been an assistant golf pro in Boise, Idaho, the women’s golf team was nothing to brag about. But in the two decades since, Brooks has taken the program to the top of the golf world. His team has begun seven of the last eight seasons ranked first nationally—it was ranked second in the other year. Brooks is a man of few words and he is always careful and modest with his comments—as is apparent in his deflection of comparisons to Krzyzewski. In a sport in which composure is respected and rewarded, Brooks is the ultimate stoic figure. A testament to his priorities, his players describe him not in terms of golf, but in terms of their relationship with him. “Coach always says that, ‘for me you don’tjust come in and out

her last tournament under Brooks. “Coach will always be a part of my life and our relationship is special.” Brooks also said that he considers his greatest impact to be nonathletic in nature. “If I’ve contributed, it’s been my ability to respect those athletes and the people that come onto my team,” he said. Brooks rarely takes credit for his great success, instead crediting Duke, its facilities and its educational excellence, for attracting talented golfers year after year. When Brooks described how his team had just successfully defended its national title by 10 strokes, he said, “The stars lined up for us. Things just happened at the right time. And, you know, it’s going to line up for somebody else some other time.”

JJ. Redick: In his own words After breaking the Duke and ACC all-time scoring records, you think abstractly or concretely. There are a lot of JJ. Redick now has his sights set on the June 28 NBA Draft in psychological tests and questions. I understand, but it’s New York.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

In his 22 years at Duke, Dan Brooks has built the women's golf program into a perennial national powerhouse.

sportsbriefs Cavaliers win men’s lacrosse title Top-seeded Virginia completed an undefeated season with its fourth NCAA men’s lacrosse tide, beating unseeded Massachusetts, 15-7, behind five goals each from Matt Poskay and Matt Ward. For more than two months, college lacrosse has dominated the headlines—but not because ofwhat has happened on the field. “I think you can hold this group up as a little bit of an ideal and say here’s what the sport is capable of,” Virginia head coach Dom Starsia said. Virginia (17-0) proved to be very capable, becoming the second straight undefeated champion and the 13th to post a perfect season. Johns Hopkins went 16-0 last year. Before a record crowd of 47,062, Massachusetts (13-5) made a game of it for the first half but ultimately could not contain the Cavaliers. (AP) Blue Devil forward announces transfer Laura Kurz, a 6-foot-l wing who played two seasons for head coach Gail Goestenkors, will transfer to Villanova, Duke announced Wednesday. In a statement released by the athletic department, Kurz and Goestenkors both said the rising junior did not leave the program on bad terms. “We love Laura and think the world of her,” Goestenkors said. “We understand she wanted to get more playing time and she will have more of an opportunity there at Villanova.” Kurz averaged 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 20 games during her sophomore season.

King’s team wins Gibbons TOC crown Taylor King, a rising senior in high school who has given head coach Mike Krzyzewski a verbal commitment to attend Duke, helped lead his AAU team to victory at last weekend’s Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions. King’s Southern California All-Stars won the prestigious tournament, which is held annually at Triangle colleges and high schools. Duke’s other commitment in the high school class of 2007, point guard Nolan Smith, did not play due to injury. —from staffreports

graduation rate.

Over the past five years 146 members of the team made the Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll, twice as many as any other ACC lacrosse team. According to the faculty report written by the law professor James E. Coleman and others —which stands out as the one carefully researched and intellectually honest piece of work in this whole mess—“The lacrosse team’s academic performance generally is one of the best among all Duke athletic teams.” We also know that the lacrosse players are not the amoral goons of popular legend. The members of the Coleman commission interviewed many of the people the players came into contact with and found almost universal praise and admiration. The groundskeeper and the equipment manager described the current team as among the best groups of young men they have worked with during their long tenures at Duke.

“The committee has not heard evidence that the cohesiveness of this group is either racist or sexist,’’the Coleman report says. The current and former black members of the team are “extremely positive”about the support they received. The coach of the women’s lacrosse team says relations beBrooks tween the men column

respectful and supportive . “They are great kids,”she has said of the male players. The male lacrosse players “volunteered for numerous community service activities,’’the report says, including reading programs, mentoring programs, the Special Olympics and Katrina relief. Curiously, Nexis searches suggest that these facts have scarcely been reported in any newspaper or magazine. We also know, as the Coleman report makes clear, that the members of the lacrosse team drank heavily, and when they did, they behaved irresponsibly. Of the 14 cases of “alcohol-unsafe”behavior reported at Duke in the fall of 2005, three involved lacrosse players. Of the four reported cases of disorderly conduct, one involved a lacrosse player. Team members were caught playing drinking games, publicly urinating and hitting golfballs at

buildings.

The report notes that their behavior was alarming and deplorable, but adds: “Their conduct has not been different in character than the conduct of the typical Duke student who abuses alcohol. Their reported conduct has not involved fighting, sexual assault or harassment, or racist behavior.” We also know that the events of the night of March 13 are

anything but clear-cut. In The National Journal, Stuart Taylor has written a devastating couple of essays on the weak case of the prosecutor, Mike Nifong. Citing the lack of DNA evidence, the seemingly exculpatory digital photos and the testimony of a taxi driver, Taylor, who is one of the most admired legal journalists in the country, estimates that there is an 85 percent chance the players are innocent. Now, with the distance of some time, a few things are clear. There may have been a rape that night, but it didn’t grow out of a culture of depravity, and it can’t be explained by the sweeping sociological theories that were tossed about with such wild abandon a few weeks ago. Furthermore, when you look at the hyperpoliticized assertions made by Jesse Jackson, Houston Baker and dozens of activists and professors, you see how mighty social causes like the civil rights movement, feminism and the labor movement have spun off a series of narrow social prejudices among the privileged class. The members of the lacrosse team were male, mosdy white and mostly members of the suburban bourgeois middle class (39 of 54 recent graduates went on to careers in finance). For many on the tenured left, bashing people like that is all that’s left of their once-great activism. And maybe the saddest part of the whole reaction is not the rush to judgment at the start, but the unwillingness by so many to face the truth now that the more complicated reality has emerged. David Brooks is a regular columnist York Times. In the fall, he the will join faculty of Duke ’s Sanford Institute of Public Policy.

Home, but not far away

Language 101 My

motheris fustian. She likes to use big words—flamboyent words, dramatic words. The truth is, howev-

er, that she sometimes gets her words wrong. Don’t get me wrong, she is a brilliant woman. Nonetheless, she confuses similar terms, mispronounces foreign ones and, best of all, sometimes makes intricate words up completely. But by God, she does it with such panache and flair that she almost gets away with it. She was an actress at one time, after all. That is, she would if I didn’t catch her in the act. When I was in the fourth grade, for inthe word stance, I was ensconced in a science project that involved coating the underside of plant leaves with vaseline to simulate air pollution. Knife in hand, I was in the kitchen applying the goop to my generic greenhouse purchase when my mother passed by and took notice. After taking in the scene, she asked, in her most graceful, assured voice, “Are you covering the stigmata?” I turned to meet her confident gaze with a sly one ofmy own, knowing I’d caught her red-tongued. “No, mom,” I replied with a grin. “I am not covering the wounds of Christ. I am, however, covering the stomata of these plants.” The “stigmata story”came to mind last week when I received my job assignment for the summer. I will be spending the next two months teaching English to young children in Trang, Thailand. The assignment got me thinking about what it takes to teach someone language—to explain, correct and refine another’s speech—and whether or not I had a bit of experience in the area. Formally, I do not have experience. But informally, I have plenty. Twenty years gleefully pointing out my mom’s fustian-ness constitutes experience. Between my dad and me, I think her vocabulary is probably closer to reality than it ever has been. My more beloved experience teaching language, however, began in a car ride last July. Returning from a day trip to Busch Gardens, a fellow Chronicle staff member and I got to talking about where we were from—she is a KoreanAmerican from New Jersey, I am a Welsh-German-Godknows-what-else from eastern North Carolina. We soon got onto the topic of speaking another language, and eyes wide she begged to hear what “Southern” sounded like. And so it began. Driving along 1-95, she would point to a road sign, commanding, “READ!”—and I would. “Richmond”was “Rich-mund.” “Asheboro” was “Ashburrah.” “Nashville” was “Nash-vuhl.” “Carolina”was “Car-o-laahna”(widen that “ah” as much as possible). “Florida” was “Flah-riduh.” She cackled and guffawed—but with genuine interest—as I elongated my vowels and words, digging up that accent that usually only rears its head when I’m eating with family in South Carolina. It was like explaining another language, I realized—a beautiful (or bastardized, depending on who you talk to) variation of English. Lesson No. 1 in Southern, I decided, had gone well. In a car ride to Mississippi a few months later, the same friend and I moved to Lesson No. 2—object recall: “What’s that?” “A hay bale?” “Ooooh ok. What about that?” “Tobaccah bam. “And that?” “Well, that’s just a Southern man on a motorcycle. Though he does have a Confederate flag tied around his head.... “NO WAY!” And so I took on the role of teacher. It quickly became a joke in the news office that I could offer a weekly lesson in Southern, and I often did —not that I’m an expert. We moved away from language to culture (yes, there are multiple types of barbecue bases), and eventually some history. Looking back, I realize how much I enjoyed imparting knowledge to my friends, and it excites me when I think of the two months to come. Certainly, teaching “Southern” will be nothing like teaching English to children, and it will definitely be a far cry from correcting my mom’s fustian tendencies. But I am looking forward to the same sense of satisfaction that always accompanies the sharing and appreciation of languages and, more broadly, cultures. Who knows? Maybe I’ll bringalong ajar ofN.C. barbecue sauce for my Thai supervisors. Or at least explain the meaning of “y’all.”

To his credit, he is probably more knowledgeable than anyone else I know. From Day One he has said things like “What about a boyfriend?,’’and “Why would the captains say ‘unequivocally’ if they weren’t innocent?” Pretty much all my acquaintances believe the lacrosse players are innocent. In their opinion, the behavior of some may have been inane, tasteless and possibly racist, but while that is horrible, it is not criminal. Though some in my community, including complete strangers who approach me because I wear Duke apparel, adamandy believe the defendants are guilty, such people are clearly in the minority. To be honest, I am pretty tired of the tit-for-tat about timelines, DNA tests, receipts and whatnot But as my first few weeks home have shown, I cannot escape the issue, and I probably will not be able to for several years. No matter how much I may wish to avoid it, this case is now deeply intertwined with the reputation of Duke University—and thus for us all.

ambled past, as though daring me to question their decision. I didn’t—and felt strangely guilty. I’ve been harassed on my way home. I’ve been grabbed. I’ve gotten lost and scared. There’s been a shooting and a stabbing down the road. I’ve thought about moving. My parents wanted me to live in quieter, more residential, admittedly more “posh”parts of town, either with family friends or friends-of-friends. I balked. I wanted my own experience, my own place without the watchful eyes of stodgy parental types monitoring my every late night back from the pub. Sense? Maturity? Yeah, I think I have them in here. Somewhere. Still, I’m coming around to accepting my fate. It’s urban but that’s London. It’s kind of grisly, but not everywhere is going to be the whoop-de-friggin’-do Gothic Wonderland. Thank God, anyway. And though I’ve found the safer ways to navigate the area and have a cab service to rely on when I’m coming home late, there’s something kind of sickening about worrying every single day if you’re going to make it home unharmed. Yet if I move into the basement somebody’s fantastic-yet-stoic neoclassical mews, I can’t help but think I’ll miss out on some of the edgier, zanier character of this city.
