The Chronicle Durham kicks off 10-year plan to halt homelessness by

Leslie Griffith THE CHRONICLE

Joining more than 200 communities nationwide, Durham announced its intention to tackle homelessness with a longterm plan in June. The “10-Year Plan to End Homelessness in Durham,” aims to prevent or eliminate homelessness by 2016 by boosting both public awareness and services. The plan, drafted by a 90member steering committee, represents not only a renewed dedication to the issue but also a major shift in strategy, said Peter Anlyan, steering committee co-chair. “The key word is ‘ending,’ and not just ‘managing,’ homelessness,” Anlyan said. To achieve that goal, the 50page plan lays out four desired outcomes: affordable permanent housing, services for the temporarily homeless, adequate

income and prevention. “We want to identify people who are on the cusp of homelessness and prevent them from

starting in that downward spiral,” Anlyan said. He does not, however, expect that prevention alone will end homelessness. “People will always be coming out of treatment centers, incarceration and mental health institutions,” Anlyan said. “They’re going to need that three-prong approach from the health community —mental services, stable living facilities and income.” A major component of that approach will be permanent supportive housing, in which community and professional services cooperate to aid SEE HOMELESS ON PAGE 28

The event kicked off a fiveweek series dubbed “Plaza 2006.” In the past year, the University has spent about $lO million to build the 40,000-square-foot structure, which administrators hope will become a new place to go on campus. Some undergraduates, including Duke Student Government President Elliott Wolf, said Saturday night’s event was sue-

cessful in getting students excited about the possibilities of the new plaza. “This is a really nice event,” said Wolf, a junior. “Time will tell if this can be sustained, but if this becomes a model of weekend activity at Duke in the center of West Campus, that’s great.” Junior Brian Ovalle saw the plaza bash as much more than just a good time.

Pluto demoted, now considered dwarfplanet BY

IZA WOJCIECHOWSKA THE CHRONICLE

“My very excellent mother just served us nine.” The mnemonic ends there as of last Thursday, when members of the International Astronomical Union voted in Prague to narrow its definition of a planet, stripping Pluto of its status as the solar system’s ninth planet. Instead, Pluto—which has been a planet since* Clyde Tombaugh disco: ered it in 1930—was reclas-/ sified as a “dwarf planet. along with the asteroid Ceres and an icy object known as U 8313, nicknamed Xena, that orbits in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. The union’s newly established criteria maintain that a planet must orbit the sun, be large enough for gravity to push it into a round shape and “clear the neighbor-

hood around its orbit.” Pluto’s orbit over-

laps with Neptune’s, thus failing to meet the third stipulation of the definition. A dwarf planet, however, must only have a round shape and be contained with-

in the solar system. “It’s a bit like initially calling a tomato a ..vegetable, and then yupon further study, reit’s really better classified as a fruit,” Scholberg, assist professor of physics, an e-mail. “That hardly changes how tomatoes are cultivated or cooked, or how they taste. A tomato’s still a tomato, and Pluto still is what it is.” The astronomers reached their final decision after a week of debating, which itself followed years of uncertainty and lack of a concrete definition for a planet.

LEXINGTON, Ky. In the minutes after Comair Flight 5191 barreled off a runway and burst into flames, snapping trees along its path, the only question worth asking was how to save the 50 people aboard. Lexington police officer Bryan Jared reached into the broken cockpit and pulled out the plane’s first officer, burning his arms in the process, but for the rest there was nothing he or any of the other rescuers could do. The horror of the worst U. S. plane disaster in nearly five years only worsened as investigators examined how it happened. Somehow the plane’s pilot had attempted to take off from the wrong runway, a short, narrow stretch of old concrete about 1,500 feet too short for the commuter plane. Preliminary flight data from the plane’s black box recorders and the damage at the scene indicate that the plane, a CRJ-100 regional jet, took off from the shortest runway at Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport, National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said. The 3,500-foot-long strip, unlit and barely half the length of the airport’s main runway, is not intended for commercial flights. The twin-engine plane would have needed 5,000 feet to fully get off the ground, aviation experts said. It wasn’t immediately clear how the plane ended up on the shorter runway in

Plaza to feature student-run carts Econ prof named to FCC post Rob Copeland THE CHRONICLE

The new West Campus Plaza is a place for many things: watching performances, dancing in the water misters and now, supporting a good cause. Student-run dining carts opening this week on the plaza will offer lunch fare with 50 percent of the proceeds going to local Durham charities. The three carts will be run by The Halcyon Group, a business partnership of four students, and will be open during the day Monday through Friday, with Sunday hours a possibility in the future. “Devil’s Medley” will sell sandwiches, salads and fresh fruit, “The Sweet Spot” will offer ice cream and smoothies and “Cosmic Outpost” will have ready-made items from Cosmic Cantina. Cosmic will no longer be available in Chick-Fil-A as in years past. “The Halcyon Group is basically a double-bottom line business—we aim to serve students’ dining needs... and simultaneously get students out into the community,” said sophomore Katherine Brazer, partner and chief operations officer. Brazer said she and her partners were inspired by a public policy class three of them took last semester. Tony Brown, the professor of that

Freshmen optedto stay on campus or travel to clubs instead of heading to off-campus houses this weekend.

Repeated warnings about ruthless Alcohol Law Enforcement agents and the unbearable heat of a packed Shooters II could not keep first-year students away from the busding social scene of Orientation Week. After 194 students were cited by state officers during the first few weeks of school last fall, many freshmen said they tried to leam from the experiences of their peers. “I tried to avoid stuff off campus because of everything we’ve heard,” said freshman Katie Rief. Sophomore and first-year advisory counselor Lydia Simmons warned fresh-

Despite the increased caution, freshmen and upperclassmen alike had litde difficulty finding social outings on the nights before classes began. “Orientation is very disorienting—in a good way—because there’s a lot to do,” said freshman Ella Kirby. Kirby first learned about Shooters II from the article “Sex and Scandal at Duke” in the June 15 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, which detailed a fraternity party held there last spring. “[Freshmen] wanted to know if it was SEE PARTIES ON PAGE 17

New pre-orientation program makes Waves 64 students enjoy

week kayaking sailing at Beaufort ,

Holley Horrell THE CHRONICLE

Surf, sand and the social scene made for sunny reviews of Project Waves. The pre-orientation program for firstyears debuted smoothly, said Director Liz Bramble, a junior. The new program attracted 149 applications —a record number for pre-orientation programs. The 64 admitted students traveled to the Duke Marine Lab in Beaufort, N.C., where they split into two groups. Participants took turns staying on campus, surfing and sailing, and going on a three-day kayaking trip. “We keep [the freshmen] very busy doing a lot of things that they’ve never done before,” said sophomore Bryan Stem, who taught sailing. “That really helped them bond. It seemed like they had a blast.” Dolphins dotted the seascape as students explored their marine environment; Freshmen were able to form friendships while visiting nearby islands, glimpsing wild horses and caring for sea turtles at the lab. “There were a lot of random adventures,” said freshman Benjamin Hamner, reminiscing about getting lost in a maze of marshes for several hours. For freshman Joe Repp, life at the marine lab was like a vacation, although roughing it on the kayaking trip was particularly memorable—especially with the

Project Waves, he added, “seems a littie more laidback than the other programs... more geared toward just getting to know people.” The program is also smaller than the other pre-orientation programs which have 80 freshmen each. Despite the high number of students who showed interest in the program, it will likely remain the same size next year as coordinators work out kinks such as tran£ portation issues, Bramble said. Since returning to campus for orienta-

Card to provide savings at local restaurants by

Adam Eaglin

Carrying black may soon save you some green. With the start of the new semester, the creators of Devil Destinations —a website offering a number of student-oriented services—have launched the Black Card, a discount program that is accepted at local restaurants and clubs. Purchasers of the j card—which costs $lO and expires at the end of each semester—are 4K given discounts or promotiohs at 18 restaurants that currently participate in the program. “It’s a pretty affordable cardfor the amount that you’re going to save,” said co-president Amp Baneijee, a senior. By showing the card at member restaurants, users will either get a 10- to 20-percent discount off their bill or receive free items with their purchase, depending on the specific agreement made with each restaurant. The cards, which are being sold online and will be made available at the Marketplace and on the West Campus plaza, can be used at popular locations such as George’s Garage, Chai’s Noodle Bar and Bistro and Cinelli’s Pizza. “We’re starting to get our name out there, people are definitely starting to show interest,” Baneijee said. The Beta version of in DevilDestinations.com—launched

their way around campus. With this month’s release of the Black Card, Baneijee said his business is finally seeing the fruition of a plan he hatched with co-president Scott Siegel, also a senior, during dinner in May 2005.

Provost Peter Lange and Durham community leaders were upbeat but noncommittal Wednesday night after leaving a closed-door meeting held to discuss the new Central Campus. Although the attendees refused to disclose what, if any, decisions were made at the meeting, they said the positive tone and spirit of cooperation between Duke officials and Durham residents was itself a

noteworthy development. “It was a very productive meeting, we’re moving forward and the devil’s in the details,” Lange and Old West Durham Neigh-

In a major breakthrough for personalized medical treatments, researchers at the Duke University Medical Center found that “genomic predictors” can significantly foretell the likelihood of recurrences of lung cancer. The test, developed by researchers at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, will help doctors provide more accurate treatment for patients. “This is promising as an amazing alternative to the traditional hit-and-miss approach of waiting [for recurrences], and has the potential to save thousands oflives each year,” said Dr. Anil Potti, an assistant professor ofmedicine and lead author of the study. During the trials, researchers analyzed tumor samples from about 130 patients to identify patterns in RNA sequences among recurrent cancer hosts. Fluorescent RNA allowed researchers to determine those genes in a tumor that are most active. . Unlike many other forms of genetic predictors, the approach largely seeks out generalized trends of cell activity rather than the presence of individual gene variants. “We sometimes need to back up and take a broad look at things using what SEE GENOMICS ON PAGE 34

They weren’t working on their tans, however—they were competing for $7,000 at the Ninth International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition in San Diego. Duke’s team, which consisted offive undergraduates and two faculty sponsors, placed second out of 21 teams and took home $5,000. Sponsored by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International and the Office of Naval Research, the competition took place from Aug. 2 to -

said junior Andrew Waterman. During the competition, teams from around the country created robots that completed various tasks in the water. Robots swam through a gate, dropped markers into bins, navigated to a docking station and located an acoustic device underwater and then surfaced—all without a human driver and sometimes as deep as 16 feet underwater. This year, Duke’s Autonomous Underwater Vehicle was named Charybides after a mythic2fl whirlpool. The robot was built from scratch, based on the team’s previous designs and mistakes,. said team member Gareth Guvanasen, a junior. “We have a pretty unique design,” said junior Jack Tao. “Ours looks more like a UFO and the others are submarine designs.” Charybides’ spherical shape allowed for precise navigation, a zero turning radius and more flexibility in the placement of thrusters, which are used to move the robot. Only one undergraduate member of the team had previously participated in the competition.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Duke Robotics Club won $5,000 at the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition in San Diego.

All competitors stayed in the same hotel, giving regular vacationers a unique opportunity to see the state-of-the-art rohots that were being prepped and tested in the hotel pool. Not all of the vacationers were completely comfortable with Charybides and

its kind swimming alongside them, however. “Some high school girls thought we were trying to take pictures of them,” said Waterman with a smile. SEE ROBOTS ON PAGE 32

PLAZA from page 1 “It’s amazing—we have diversity here,” he said, noting ’Bos cover band Suicide Blonde performing on the plaza stage and Latino music playing on speakers near the Bryan Center entrance. Student band Running Lights also performed. “It’s like a mix between two worlds—it’s cross-cultural,” Ovalle added. Though some students said the event itself was successful, others wondered if it was worth the money and time spent during the past year. “There’s a legitimate question as to whether a $lO-rnillion structure was needed to do that as opposed to a $5-million structure, or a $ 1-million structure, or the main quad, but I think this is a good thing,” Wolf said, estimating that the cost of the event was less than a thousandth of

the total cost of the plaza itself. Other students expressed the concern that regardless of Saturday night’s success, events held on the plaza would not be able to sustain undergraduate interest for long. “It’s a great space, but if they’re intending to keep people away from frat parties, it’s not going to happen,” said freshman Brandon Fyffe. Junior Marilyn Carter said she supported the event but questioned whether similar programs would affect the larger Duke student culture. “It was worth it,” Carter said. “It could change this area, and there could be better attendance for Duke University-sponsored events, but I think the overall culture is going to stay the same.” The Duke University Union will continue to host daily events on the plaza until Sept. 30, culminating in an outdoor concert during Homecoming weekend.

because of its international focus. “Duke certainly has a special place in the realm of international studies opportunities," Merkx said, adding he attributes the distinction to Duke’s “[ability] to respond to and acknowledge regional powers, not merely the separate spheres.” Others point to a spirit of innovation available at Duke, made evident by unique undertakings among the six centers. Edna Andrews, associate professor and chair of the department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies and director of the CSEEES, said she considers Duke a major innovator in language studies. “We also will be teachipg Georgian and Ukrainian this upcoming spring, and we have taught Hungarian in past years,” Andrews wrote in an e-mail. “These languages are rarely available in the United States.” Andrews noted the Tide VI funds are the major source of funding for graduate fellowships in language programs for what the Department ofEducation lists as “Less Commonly Taught Languages,” including Russian, Polish, Romanian and Turkish. Merkx said a major focus at Duke this year is the expansion ofits base for studies of the Middle East, due to the region’s “increasingly economical, political and cultural importance in our daily lives.”

AWARDS from page 4 major source of funding for her research. She explained that receiving the award has significant and practical implications for her. The NIH extended her grant, due to expire in a year and a half, for an additional three and a half years. “It allows us to do a lot of the research we were planning to do without having to worry about funding,” Reya said. Blood stem cells have been the focus of her study, and she has investigated the signals that prompt them to renew themselves or produce new cells. She noted that the field’s most immediate implications are for transplantation therapy. Born in India and the recipient of a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, Reya has received a number of awards and worked at Duke since 2001. “For me, I think Duke has been a phenomenal place to be,” Reya said, adding that her colleagues are very supportive. “It’s been a great place for a young scientist to thrive.” Both Mattingly and Ferrari received their nominations from the National Science Foundation, which last year gave each a Faculty Early Career Development grant worth $400,000 over five years. Ferrari, who directs the Laboratory for

Intelligent Systems and Controls at the Pratt School of Engineering, focuses her research on adaptive control technology. With applications in industry and aviation, the technology enables machines to operate without human control and to alter and adapt behavior over time. Already the recipient of multiple awards and a doctorate from Princeton University, Ferrari joined Duke’s faculty in 2003. Mattingly’s research revolves around probability, and he said his understanding of potential applications and interest in interdisciplinarity have helped guide him. His work has centered on the effects of small-scale randomness on models of com-

“I think that the most interesting or novel mathematics—or any science—is often done at the boundaries between disciplines,” Mattingly said. At Duke since 2002, he also earned his doctorate from Princeton and has conducted research at several universities in the United States and Europe. He, too, described the University as a good environment for junior faculty members. “My department is wonderfully welcoming and fostering of young researchers,” Mattingly said. This is the first time any Duke faculty member has received the award since the 2001 award cycle.

some scientists are still unsure about the merits of the newly defined term. “I suspect that this whole declassification hoopla is a publicity stunt by astronomers who need more federal funding,” Hugon Karwowski, associate chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, wrote in an e-mail. Astronomers came close to leaning to the other extreme and broadening the definition of a planet. In that case, Ceres, Xena and Pluto’s moon Charon would have joined the solar system as planets, and Pluto also would have retained its planetary designation. Although the reclassification procedure provoked heated discussion and made front-page headlines worldwide, some are still skeptical of the necessity to oust Pluto from its spot as the outermost planet. “I think it’s pretty ridiculous that people are gatheringjust to speak about that when there’s so much going on,” sophomore Etienne Coulon said. “At least now we know they’re going to have to re-edit every single astronomy textbook.” Other students retain allegiance to Pluto and have fond memories of the mobiles they made in elementary school. “I’ll always think ofit as a planet because I learned it that way,” sophomore Ben Rothstein said. “A room full of people with Ph.D.s can say what they want, but it’s a planet.” The AssociatedPress contributed to this

Hundreds of Duke students gathered at Shooters II this past Thursday and Saturday night and Kirby was among the many who experienced the saloon for the first time. “It was ridiculous,” freshman Sara Berg said. “There had to have been 2,000 people there and with the 250-degree heat, it was just crazy.” Despite the novelty of collegiate debauchery, some freshmen wished for a break in the nighdy ventures. ‘You get cajoled into going out,” said

A week into their Duke careers, firstyear students have enjoyed the pleasures of college without the daily grind ofclasses. “Camp Duke—that’s pretty much what it feels like,” Kazzaz said. “You have no responsibilities and it’s great.”

such as Taco Bell, Goddard decided to see howfar the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline would take him riding on his bicycle. Munchingon energybars as he rode, Goddard stayed at various youdi hostelsand cheap hotels on his eight-day journey. He summed up the strategy for his trip as “eat and ride.” With the help of the calorimeter, Goddard calculated his total miles per gallon lied th be »f cal Iv

At 12 to 13 mph, Goddard rode an average of 80 to 100 miles per day—once clocking as many as 130 miles. “The ride definitely took some time but it wasn’t unduly strenuous,” Goddard said. “At 12 to 15 mph your body can rebuild itself as long as you provide it with food.” The crosscountry trek inspired excitement in some, especially from supporters who learned and kept track of the project on Goddard’s blog. In others, like Goddard’s family and friends, the trip raised concerns. “They thought it was kind of kooky,” he said with a laugh. Goddard said his mother’s support for the project eased his nerves, and after only a week of preparation, he set off on his journey. The worries of Goddard’s family, however weren’t completely unfounded. “The scariest part was in Germantown, a

part of Philadelphia,” he wrote in an e-mail. “At 10:30 p.m. on a Friday night, I still had eight miles to go to the youth hostel. I asked directions at a Dairy Queen and two cops said that I was about to go through the roughest part of town, and that they would give me their guns if they could.” Two patrons at the restaurant offered to give Goddard a ride for the eight miles to the hostel. The next day, Goddard spoke to a woman staying at the hostel and found out how lucky he really was—she said one of her friends had been through that area and had been assaulted by a couple of teenagers who broke his jaw simply because they were bored. Goddard has no immediate plans for any other adventurous energy projects, but said he is “always up for doing something.” For now, that something is trying to get a job at a solar energy company in New York

and getting his story in a bicycling magazine. Goddard said that his trip was more about proving a point than about convincing people to embrace bicycles as their preferred method of transportation, noting the feasibility of utilizing alternative fuels such as diesel, biodiesel and ethanol in the near future. He added that the current energy problem is multi-faceted and requires a combination of solutions. “More obvious improvements in personal transport will come as city planners incorporate more pedestrian districts, pedestrian bridges, bike parking and cycle routes into urban areas, while at the same time embracing traffic circles and smart traffic lights to deal with cars and educate drivers and cyclists about sharing the road,” Goddard said. “The three [bicycles, pedestrians and cars] can work together.”

USA BBALL from page 7 (Germany beat Nigeria 78-77 behind 23 points from Nowitzki, the All-Star forward

from the Dallas Mavericks. The Americans were sixth in 2002, their worst performance ever in a major international tournament. They continue, however, to look like one of the favorites in Japan after surpassing the 100-point mark for the fifth time in six games. They are averaging 109.3 points in the tournament. This time, the defense was there as well. The Americans weren't always sharp on that end during pool play when they allowed 85.6 points per game. Bogut, the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NBA draft who just completed his rookie season with the Milwaukee Bucks, led Australia with 20 points. But after a strong start, he was scoreless for more than 15 minutes, when the Americans outscored the Australians 45-14. The Australians (2-4) came in seeking to control the tempo, and they did a good job of it for most of the first half. Their problem was in making shots. Bogut, the former national college player of the year at Utah, scored nine points in the first five minutes, hitting a 3-pointer to give the Australians a 15-14 lead with 6:07 left in the first quarter.

Australia was within two points after Brad Newley’s dunk with 1:41 remaining in the first quarter. But by the time CJ. Bruton made the next one, the Australians had gone nearly 9 minutes without a field goal as the Americans broke the game open. Leading 27-23 after one, the United States outscored Australia 18-1 during the first seven minutes of the second quarter to take a 45-24 lead after Anthony made a pair of free throws with 3:01 left in the half. Australia missed 20 of its first 27 shots before Bruton’s jumper with 2:50 to go. Johnson scored the last seven points of the half, and the Americans took a 59-29 lead into the break. Bogut finally ended his drought with a pair of free throws to open the second half, but the United States built its lead to 88-48 with 49 seconds left in the third quarter after Wade hit the Americans’ fourth straight three-pointer. U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski kept the same starting lineup he used for most of pool play, with the exception of Elton Brand replacing Dwight Howard at center. But he went away from his two-team rotation, sending only three players out when he made his first substitutions midway through the opening quarter. Shane Battier hit four 3-pointers and scored 12 points, while Chris Bosh also added 12 for the Americans.

For many Duke graduates, reunions are a time to catch up with old friends under the timeless glow of the Duke

Chapel.

”

But when Edward Rushton, Trinity ’5B and Law ’6l, returned to campus two years ago, the Chapel’s light exposed’ not only his college stomping grounds, but also the depths of alcoholism into which he had fallen. “I wasn’t in any shape to meet anyone, so I spent the weekend in a motel alone,” Rushton said. Rushton, who came to Duke on a full football scholarship, did not start drinking until he was 30 years old. During the next 20 years, however, his drinking escalated into full-blown alcoholism, costing him his career and his family. In 2004, he realized his “romance with alcohol” was destroying his life and checked himself into the Good Samaritan Inn, a faith-based haven for the homeless in Durham. Rushton is now the volunteer coordinator at the Inn. “We’re making a dent—we think—in homelessness in Durham,” he said. Durham currently has 502 homeless people, according to a point-in-time count conducted by Triangle United Way one day in January. Although that figure is not out-ofline with national averages, 19 percent of those—or 157 people —are chronically homeless. Nationwide, the proportion is around 10 percent. Rushton’s experience has given him

a unique perspective on homelessness, especially considering the fact that 73 percent of Durham’s homeless are chronic substance users. “Somebody that seemingly has it all can end up here. Rushton said. “No matter how straight the line is down the road, you can fall off—-and I fell off.” Shreya Rao contributed reporting for this story.

“Right now it’s exhilarating because it’s such a change and the issues are very interesting,” Connolly said. “It’s a challenge, but it’s very exciting The chief economist is usually selected based on economic prowess and the recommendations of the previous chief economist, Marx said. “It takes a blend of intellectual, personal and communication skills that is rare among academics,” Nechyba said. Itis not unusual for successive holders of the position to be from the same university. Duke has developed an informal network with several policy institutions in Washington, D.C., such as the FCC, leading the commission to select from the University’s pool of candidates, Nechyba said. In addition to Connolly and Marx, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, Graduate School ’9O, and commissioner Robert McDowell, Trinity ’B5 and Duke Law ’9O, also tie the commission to the University. Marx will return from her yearlong leave to begin teaching at Fuqua again this year. Nechyba said Connolly has committed with the FCC for the fall, but will keep her post as director of EcoTeach and will continue teaching Economics 110 this semester.

She will also be responsible for overseeing economic analysis done at the FCC, which is an independent government agency that regulates broadcasting as well as interstate and international communications. “It’s a fantastic opportunity,” Connolly said. Along with analyses, Connollyalso will be communicating the FCC’s findings to the commissioners and to the public. “You need someone who is a good economist and also who is a good communicator of economic ideas,” said Leslie Marx, associate professor of economics in the Fuqua School of Business and Connolly’s predecessor as chief economist. “Michelle is a superior teacher—she has those skills to take the economic ideas and try to communicate them to people who may not be trained as economists.” The position is a temporary one, bestowed upon an economist in academia to minimize biases. Connolly began her job last week and will hold the position for about a year.

spurred junior Hasnain Zaidi, a Halcyon partner, to reexamine the needs of the surrounding community and how his group could help that community. Zaidi noticed that although Duke Student Government provides funding to student groups, some off-campus organizations or projects fall through the cracks. “We’re giving them the resources they need to actually enact change in the communities,” Zaidi said, adding that he hopes to donate at least $25,000 in the first year through grants. Although 50 percent of the proceeds will go to charity, the other half will go to, among other things, executive compensation, Zaidi said. The partnership’s initial idea was to have a crepe stand on the plaza, but North Carolina law forbids outdoor food production other than hot dogs, Brazer said. After contacting the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee and working with Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst, the Halcyon Group decided to take over the food carts that were already being planned for the plaza. Wulforst said it was a no-brainer on his part, since Halcyon will pay for the carts themselves. He added that as students, he is confident they will maintain high quality standards. Students have always worked at some of the University’s most popular eateries, including the Beanery, The Perk and Trinity Cafe, Wulforst noted. “I think they will take a real proprietary interest in running these carts and I can’t imagine they won’t be successful,” Wulforst said. Brown said he is optimistic. “We’ll know how successful they are two years from now,” he said.

ROBOT from page 10 In addition to fostering innovation and camaraderie among engineers and students, the competition served as a recruiting mechanism for the naval company SPAWAR, which hosted this year’s competition, Tao said. Duke students have been especially sought after—three of the six competitors who were offered jobs in past years were Duke students. Team members predicted that hotel guests during AUV competitions will not be the only average people to have encounters with aquatic robots in the near future. “A lot of this technology you’ll see trickled down to consumer applications—for

example robotic pool cleaners,” Tao said. “You’ll see a lot of innovative applications we can’t even think of right now.” Its use is not limited to commercial purposes. “Military technologies will be where it benefits most directly though,” said Waterman.

Despite the hours of work and the narrow loss of first place, the members of the team regarded the competition as a positive experience. “I’ve always loved robotics in general,” Guvanasen said. “To be given a challenge and be able to solve it—that’s one of the greatest feelings.” Waterman expressed similar sentiments. “It’s a much more practical component ofmy education—and it’s a hell of a lot of fun,

too.”

GENOMICS from page 8 we know,” Potti said “[The test] is very similar to other genomic predictors in its underlying principles, but is guided by the principle of point values to determine risk,” he added. Knowledge of which genes are most active will allow doctors to speed up treatment among patients for whom chemotherapy would not otherwise be recommended, the researchers noted in their findings, published in the Aug. 10, 2006 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers currently classify the risk of recurrence of the disease using “clinical stages” based on size and location which is often broad and inaccurate, the researchers said. Most early-stage patients with isolated —

tumors are treated with surgical procedures and afterwards subjected to a waiting game of tests and anticipation, during which approximately one in three “low-risk” patients will experience a recurrent —often fatal—bout with the disease, Potti said. The researchers hope to eventually use the test to develop other forms of personalized and combined treatments for cancers, by avoiding the use of chemotherapy and other treatments among less isolated tumors, said Dr. Geoffrey Ginsburg, a professor of medicine and co-author of the study, in a statement. “Besides hair loss, chemotherapy can cause fatigue, infections and affect the body in a number of ways that complicate the road to recovery,” Potti said. In January 2007, Duke researchers plan to begin a follow-up trial involving over 1,000 patients throughout the United States and Canada.

dal will affect the University’s rank has yet to be seen; we will have to wait until next year’s list for that. In the meantime, speculation about what that affect will be is worthless. It gets us nowhere. The best thing both students and administrators can do is address the issues at stake in the scandal in a transparent, thorough manner. Bemoaning the reality of the scandal without taking action will only guarantee a poor peer assessment of Duke—which, as the assessment represents 25 percent of the Report’s rankings formula, could push the University out of the top ten. Many people are also lamenting the new No. 8 rank because they believe it indicates that Duke is on a gener-

al downslide. They fail to note, however, that the same number of schools ranked above the University last year—they were just tied in the one-through-four spots, leaving Duke at five. Moreover, administrators repeatedly point out that “rankings don’t matter”—that they are rarely if ever accurate reflections of a school’s caliber. Nonetheless, regardless of the number of schools ahead of Duke or the accuracy of the rankings, those numbers do matter. We all had the Report open when we were picking colleges. The numbers mean a lot to potential students —perhaps even donors. And as Duke students, as shallow as it may seem, we don’t like to see a number like our nationalrank drop. Indeed, it

ed lacrosse situation aside, we hope that the peers reviewing Duke next year will note its progress in a myriad of areas, from science facilities to faculty hiring, arts events to its international presence. Similarly, however, we hope that those who have the power to affect Duke’s image take the combination of the University’s current ranking and its place in a national, scrutinizing limelight as a reality check. We charge them with first, not writing off the value of the rankings and second, with seeking to fix the tough social and cultural problems dredged up by the lacrosse scandal for the sake of the Report’s pending peer assessment and, more importandy, for the sake ofDuke studentshappiness, wellness and success at the University.

So what, exactly, editor's note is the big deal? On the surface level, the editorial is not all that special in comparison to the thousands of others that have been printed in The Chronicle since 1905. But this editorial is fundamentally differentfrom all the rest. It is the first one produced by the paper’s new independent editorial board. We’ve been telling you about upcoming changes to the editorial board through a handful of editor’s notes over the past few months, but now the changes are finally in place. We’ve hit the ground running with intelligent, provocative, informed discussion. I’m proud to be a part of it, and excited to think about what the board can accomplish this year. Previously, the staff editorial (which is now just called the “editorial”) was written by one of about 25 staffers, an anonymous writer passing along the opinion agreed upon among the paper’s top editors. Now, the editor, editorial page managing editor and I (all members of the previous editorial board) will formulate opinions with a number of top campus thinkers. The editorials will still be anonymously written; such is the professional standard for editorials and an important tenet in the world of newspaper opinion writing. We are, however, releasing the

names of the editorial board members, an announcement that hasn’t been made in recent Chronicle history. I want you to know where these opinions are coming from and on what grounds you should agree or disagree with our opinions. These seven new members of the editorial board have diverse interests and a depth of knowledge about the University skeptics said we wouldn’t find. But we did. The leadership experience in this group of 10 men and women is impressive. Some are past leaders of Duke Student Government and Campus Council. Some are former columnists and reporters. Some are in greek groups; some are independents. All are extremely qualified. Their energy and expertise is nothing short of inspiring. So, who are these distinctly qualified people? Well, without further ado, let me introduce you to the board. Seniors Seyward Darby, Joel Kliksberg, Trish Lenza, Matt Levy, Ben Rubinfeld, Brandon White and MattYelovich along with juniorsRyan McCartney and Elizabeth Rudisill will join me as full voting members. When you see us on campus, speak your mind, relay your concerns. Although we may not always side with popular opinion, we are keenly interested in what every member of the Duke community has to say. In the next few weeks, we will seek out a couple of freshmen to give our board a healthy dose of East-Campus flavor. Any freshmen interested should contact me at dbe@duke.edu. I believe this change will improve the quality of our editorial pages, and in turn encourage thought, discussion and action on campus. Whether or not these goals are eventually realized, however, is up to you and how willing you are to join in campus discussion. ,

Welcome to the Jungle

Welcome

to school, Duke University Class of 2010! I hear good things.

Persecution

The

more information that surfaces the more apparent it becomes to fair-minded observers that our lacrosse team was railroaded and that three of our fellow students are being put on trial not because ofevidence but because of a DA’s incompetence and malice. Sadly, many in the community have shown that they are not fair minded but would rather hunt for witches than search for justice. The bold malignance of the Durham County persecutor has been propelled by the chants and screams of the Duke-and-Durham-Left who sprang into action as soon as it became clear that the alleged victim’s story could be used to propagate their destructive blackversus-white worldview. The Stephen DDL used the miller time press, protests and any pulpit they could find to rush to judgment and find our peers guilty in advance of the facts. With the trial scheduled for sometime in spring, and with as much ugliness ahead us as behind, we Duke students have to ask the question—what now? As a student body, first and foremost, we must demand justice. Let us correct last year’s record and ensure that no matter what developments ensue we do not allow our personal prejudices to overwhelm our ethical ihandate to observe due process and protect the innocent. In order to be effective advocates for justice we must be able to recognize when it has been perverted. Part of the job of a columnist is to assess the information available and then let the facts speak for themselves. In that vein, let me offer some highlights from a chilling summer expose published in Newsweek with new information further exposing the perversion of justice perpetrated by Nifong: —Nifong went on television and tried to explain away the total absence of lacrosse DNA in the rape kit by saying a condom could have prevented the transference, but the accuser herself told the hospital examiners in her story that no condoms were used. —Nifong was running around declaring that the examining nurse found symptoms consistent with sexual assault and that he had “no doubt,” a rape occurred, but the actual rape exam indicated only that swelling was present which turns out “can be caused by normal sexual activity.” (Earlier that week, the accuser had sex with two men and used a vibrator in a per-

miller

formance.) —The accuser claimed she was strangled during the attack, but the examining nurse found no physical evidence of this. On the night in ques-

tion, she was committed to a mental health facili-

ty and it was there that she claimed she was raped. When she was brought to the hospital, however, she changed her story and said she was only groped. She changed her account again later to say she was in fact raped, but it seems her different versions have the rape being perpetrated by by 20 men, and of course now the three set to stand trial. She even claimed at one point two men,

that the other stripper assisted in the rape. Ten years ago she levied another rape charge which she said happened three years before, though her father claimed the charge was false and she didn’t pursue the case. —Reade Seligmann’s alibi has him placing six phone calls to his girlfriend during the mere 15minute window in which it appears the rape could have occurred, and then hopping in a cab to get some fast food. Seligmann’s attorney tried to bring this exculpatory evidence to Nifong to stave off the indictment, but Nifong wouldn’t hear ofit. —Regarding Nifong’s accusation that the players stonewalled him and the police, it turns out the co-captains renting the house not only quickly agreed to come with the police to the station for questions, but they didn’t even try to get a lawyer and offered to take a polygraph. And when the order came down for 46 players’ DNA samples their attorney was in the midst of telling them how they could appeal it when the players suddenly left the meeting, got in their cars and drove to the police station to offer their DNA. Now, take a breath and remind yourself that this isn’t fiction. The madness is real and the stakes enormous. Lives, futures, hopes —all on the line. As the story unfolds a national magnifying glass will continue to be held over our campus and as a student body we have a moral duty to act with dignity and to demand fair and just treatment for our peers—no slander, no abuse, no prejudice tolerated. If a professor like Houston Baker continues to make unsubstantiated charges of racist assault, disgracing himself and dishonoring his school, don’t stand for it. Write a letter to the editor, to the administration, to the professor him or herself. If you see reporters looking for an on site spot interview with a student, volunteer yourself and put the truth out there. Encourage people to watch news shows like the “O’Reilly Factor” and “Hannity & Colmes,” which offer an exceptionally fair and accurate view of the case. And lastly, if you find yourself in the presence of a student who insists the lacrosse players are a bunch of racist criminals and that the players are guilty no matter what the evidence says—put them in their place. If you don’t, I will.

THE CHRONICLE

For the second consecutive year, the Blue Devils will start their season on top. According to the ACC volleyball preseason poll released Aug. 8, Duke was ranked as the No. 1 team in the conference heading into the 2006 season. The Blue Devils received eight first place votes from the ACC’s 12 head coaches. Virginia followed with three first place votes to rank second in the preseason poll, and Georgia Tech rounded out the top

three with one first place vote. Duke, however, knows the dangers of listening to the hype too much. “A team might be picked eighth or ninth in the league we’re playing this weekend,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “But if we don’t bring our ‘A game,’ we’re done. That’s going to come back to haunt us down the road. And I think they’ve lived it. So, they see it.” Last season, Duke also entered the year ranked No. 1 in the ACC preseason poll. The Blue Devils, however, dropped several

Carrie )emange Middle blocker Carrie DeMange will be a force to reckon with this season. At 6-foot-2, the junior is a fierce defensive and offensive player in the middle. DeMange has already started out strong, earning a selection to the preseason All-ACC team. Last season as a sophomore, DeMange put up impressive numbers in several areas. She received honors as an AVCA All-America honorable mention and was named to the first team All-East region and All-ACC first team. DeMange led Duke with 21 double-doubles as she started all 32 matches in 2005. She finished first on the team and fifth in the ACC with 497 kills—which ranks as the fifth-best single-season total in Duke history.

matches early-on before they picked up steam in the later part of the season. Duke finished the regular season on an eight-match winning streak to make postseason play, even though it did not receive the ACC’s automatic bid. The Blue Devils advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament before losing to runner-up Nebraska. With a 17-5 record in the ACC (24-8 overall), Duke ended one win short of a three-way tie for first in the ACC with North Carolina and Maryland and instead, finished third. Because the ACC title was so close last year, Duke can once again use the No. 1 preseason ranking as motivation. “Being picked No. 1 in the preseason poll is always hard because every team is out to get you,” junior Carrie DeMange said. “But I feel like it’s a challenge for our team. It’ll be good for us. It’ll be something to live up t0... because we couldn’t do it last year.” Duke returns 11 players, including middle blocker Demange, setter Ali Hausfeld and libero Jenny Shull. The trio of juniors were named to the preseason All-ACC team last week and are All-American candidates this year. Last season, all three earned AVCA All-America honorable mentions and All-East Region honors. DeMange and Hausfeld also garnered spots on last year’s All-ACC first team. Duke also returns veterans Jourdan Norman, Pixie Levanas and Sue Carls in the middle, and Tealle Hunkus and Aana Wherry on the outside.

Head coach; Beth Bozman Record at Duke:

The first time it was a surprise. The second time it was anticipated. By their third consecutive appearance in the NCAA championship game last fall, the No. 3 Blue Devils had firmly established the dominance of head coach Beth Bozman’s program. Despite ultimately losing the title game to Maryland last year—the team’s third straight loss in the national championship game—the Blue Devils have come back this year with even stronger determination. “Last year’s loss in the championship game had the biggest impact of any loss that this team has experienced,” Bozman said. “I think it changed the program forever in a really positive way. It cut very deep, and they took from it a new

hunger.”

A combination of a veteran midfield and one of the strongest recruiting classes in the nation will provide the means for overcoming the loss of Duke’s top two scorers from last season, Nicole Dudek and Katie Grant, who graduated in the spring. The Blue Devils return 11 letter winners, including six regular starters. Bozman said she expects to have three freshmen starters for the season, but Duke’s backbone will be its midfield—led by the senior trio of Hilary Linton, Cara-LynnLopresti and Amy Stopford. Bozman emphasized the crucial role that the midfield will play this season in mobilizing the attack. “We need to score,” she said. “We’re losing two key scorers, and we need to find away to get the ball in the cage. Across the board we’re strong, and one of the things we’ve always done is score a lot of goals.” A lot might be an understatement. In the 2003 and 2004 seasons, the women set new school scoring records, with 106 and 112 goals scored, respectively. But the four-game absence of Grant, Stopford, Lopresti, and Linton, who were representing Canada and the United States at the Ju-

Senior midfielder Amy Stopford is a member of a Duke class that has been to three national championship games and never tasted victory. Although she does not minimize the accomplishment of her teams over the years, Stopford, like all of her fellow seniors, is eager to achieve the ultimate success. Despite the high expectations, she said there is less pressure than there is confidence. "We have a very cohesive team this year," Stopford said about the Blue Devils, who have been ranked No. 3 in preseason polls. In the opening weekend of the new season, Stopford's defensive performance was critical to Duke's success. "Amy Stopford was incredible in this game," head coach Beth Bozman said after Sunday's 5-1 defeat of Delaware. "I think she is just a solid defender and we were able to make some mistakes and survive."

.nior World Cup, contributed to a drop down to 85 goals last season. Duke hopes to get back to its record-breaking numbers this season with the assistance of its veteran midfield. An increase in goals may be necessary as the defense also adjusts to the loss ofkey contributors. The Blue Devils graduated Kirsten Bostrom, who anchored a defense that recorded seven shutouts last year, and goalkeeper Christy Morgan, who played in 14 games while splitting time with current

goalie Caitlin Williams. Although the expectations are high, the Blue Devils will be challenged to maintain their focus each game in their charac-

teristically difficult schedule. Duke will

face 12 teams that finished the year ranked in the top 20 of the STX/NFHCA National Coaches Poll, as well as seven teams that reached last year’s NCAA Tournament. ‘You have to play and beat the best to be the best,” Bozman said. “That will always be our philosophy.”

Ogilvie gave the freshmen a two-week break after their high school seasons and then set them on a training schedule geared toward intercollegiate competition. The level of competition the pair will face as Blue Devils requires much greater strength and endurance than the high school level. With the fall season ready to begin, Ogilvie is putting the entire team on a more conservative training schedule. “We avoid the temptadon to do speed work early in the year,” Ogilvie said. “More mileage early, less quality early. Quality over a short period of dme later in the season seems to work a lot better. We also want to keep our athletes mentally fresh.” The incoming freshmen will profit from the experience of the two co-captains, junior Chris Spooner and senior Keith Krieger, who have already affected changes early in the training program by keeping the group training as a cohesive unit. “We would have people pushing and working really hard in workouts and overdoing it [last year],” Spooner said. “This dme, we have people sticking together.

Blue Devils look for more consistent defense

After a thrilling win over North Carolina in the ACC title game last fail, Duke lost prematurely in the second round of the 2005 NCAA tournament to a lower-seeded Creighton squad playing in Durham.

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

Following disappointing postseason

exits the last two seasons, the Blue Devils are ready to get defensive. If Duke hopes to advance further in the NCAA tournament and win its first national title in 20 years, it will have to become more consistent defensively. Although the Blue Devils gave up just 1.15 goals per game last season, occasional second-half defensive lapses allowed their opponents to mount quick runs. “Our focus is on being a very strong team defensively, being more consistent and doing well in our league," said head coach John Rennie, in his 28th year at Duke’s helm. “If we do that, we’ll have a damn good season and have a great chance to do well in postseason play.” The Blue Devils, ranked 14th in the nation, have experienced difficult endings the last two years. In 2004, after a surprise run to the national semifinals, they were run out of the tournament, 5-0, by UCSanta Barbara. Last season, Duke was upset at home by Creighton, 2-1, in the second round of the NCAA Championships. The Blue Jays scored two goals in a threeminute stretch during the second half to stun the Blue Devils. “I know guys still talk about that game to this day,” said midfielder and senior captain Chris Loftus. “We got a little chip on our shoulder, and we’re ready to hopefully go a little further.” Duke’s defense will hinge largely on junior goalkeeper Justin Papadakis, who posted impressive numbers in his first season in goal last year. Papadakis started all

loss spurs NCAA team to deeper postseason run 20 games for the Blue Devils last season and recorded seven shutouts. The goalie seemed to save his best for the biggest games, twice shutting out rival North Carolina and making two enormous saves in penalty kicks against the Tar Heels to win the ACC Championship final. “[Justin] answered a lot of questions last year,” Rennie said. “He was a secondyear player but a rookie in goal. He did quite well. So, there’s a big difference there from going into last season not real-

four in each of the last three years, and it’s going to be the same this year.” In order to be one of those teams at the end of the season, though, Rennie knows Duke has to take it one game at a time. ‘You can’t win a national championship or an ACC championship until you get there,” he said. “So, we don’t put goals where we have to win this game and that game. If you focus on the end, you forget about what you have to do to get there.”

Duke’s defense has looked sharp in the preseason, allowing just one goal in three contests against stiff competition. The Blue Devils dominated No. 21 UNCGreensboro, 3-0, and tied second-ranked Connecticut, 1-1, outshoodng the Huskies, 164. Duke hopes its early preparation, which included a summer trip to Germany to compete against European professionals, will help it successfully navigate a rigorous conference schedule. Six of the nine ACC schools are ranked in the top 16 nationally, including defending champion and topranked Maryland. The Blue Devils’ schedule includes trips to No. 16 Wake Forest, No. 1 Maryland, and No. 6 Clemson, as well as home games against No. 4 Virginia and No. 5 North Carolina. “It’s the same as last year when eight out of nine teams were in the NCAA tournament,” Rennie said. “If you go back and judge the success of a sport by the number of NCAA bids you get, then it’s probably the most successful season in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference in any sport.

Duke's tough defense allowed only one goal during preseason play against three opponents.

Michael Vidiera started off his season with a ding, bouncing his first goal of the year off the right post to score against Hartford Friday. The midfielder contributed two goals and an assist to lead the 12th-ranked Blue Devils to a 5-2 victory over the Hawks. Vidiera, a junior, was recently named a preseason All-American by College Soccer News and Soccer America, one of eight ACC players to receive the recognition. "It's kind of weird, because I haven't really showed myself yet," Vidiera said. "It's more pressure, I guess, expectations 1 have to meet, but 1 don't mind." Last season, the junior finished with a spot o’n the first All-ACC team after tallying three goals and nine assists. He was also named a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy, the National Player of the Year Award.

that allowed only 13 goals all season, getting knocked out in the second round of the 2005 NCAA tournament was not the way it wanted to go. Duke ended last season on a disappointing defensive slip in the final minute ofits 2-1 loss to Yale, even though its back unit had dominated all season long. This year, however, the Blue Devils are aiming to come back stronger, working with added depth and versatility on their roster. Despite the loss of their defensive star to graduation—2oos first team All-ACC selection and ACC Defensive Player of the Year Carolyn Ford —as well as seven other seniors, head coach Robbie Church said the 2006 Blue Devils have a greater amount of depth. “Some new players have come in, and they are at a really high level, and we’ve had some improvement from a couple of our other returning players,” Church said. “I think that combination of bringing quality first-year players and the upperclassmen returning, working extremely hard and improving, has really made me excited about our potential.” With seven returning starters and a group of five freshmen that was ranked as the third-best recruiting class in the country competing for playing time, Church is trying to determine the right group to work together on the pitch. Church said he has 17 or 18 players who are ready to play at the ACC level and will work with different combinations during the four weekends of games before conference matchups begin to select his starters. “We are as deep as we’ve ever been here,” said Church, who is in his sixth year at Duke. “They say I can only put 11 out to start the game, so it’s going to take a little bit of time to find the right combination.... So we’ve got to be a little bit patient.” One area of concern for the team is its losses in the backfield—Ford and three-year starter Heidi Hollenbeck—who helped lead team

In reality I can step up, anybody can step up, any of the freshmen can-step up. Carolyn Ford was a big loss, but I think that we’ll be all right —we’ll do great.” And Cohen is not alone when it comes to leadership and experience. In the midfield, seniors Rebecca Moros and Darby Kroyer—both 2005 All-ACC selections will pace Duke. Kroyer returns as the team’s leading scorer in 2005, and Moros trained with the Under-21 National Team the past spring and summer. “The training environment was just really valuable for coming back here,” —

Moros said of her experience with the U-21 team. ‘You meet a lot of people who have done a lot of things and have more experience than I did, and I learned a lot from that. There were some great leaders on that team, and I think I took things from them to come back here and be a better leader here.” Moros and Kroyer are joined in the attack by experienced senior Sarah McCabe and sophomore Christine McDonald, as well as newcomers Kay Anne Gummersall and Elisabeth Redmond. Both freshmen were Parade All-Americans as high school seniors, and they will battle with upperclassmen for playing time. “We’ve got players that can play in a lot of different positions in that class,” Church said. “They will provide depth to our team, and make myjob a little bit harder because of it. But that’s okay—that’s not a bad problem to have.”

Last year, Rebecca Moros was named an All-ACC honoree for the second straight season, but she did not rest on her laurels this offseason. The senior midfielder, who will serve as a tri-captain for the Blue Devils this season, spent the past spring and summer training with the Under-21 Natonal Team, an experience which she says will only improve upon her role as a team leader. Moros played alongside some of the most talented college players and under UCLA coach Jillian Ellis, one of the most successful coaches of the last decade. After her time with the national team—which finished runner-up in the Nordic Cup and travelled to Holland and Germany to take on club and national teams—Moros hopes to share the skills gained there with her Duke team. "My senior class and teammates—they're awesome," Moros said. "I honestly played all summer thinking that I would learn as much as I could to come back here and bring it here."

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils outmatched Western Carolina en route to a 1-0 victory Sunday. Their energy and focus, however, drained under the sweltering heat of the afternoon sun in their second game of a three-day span. “It’s our first Sunday game,” senior forward Sarah McCabe said. “It’s no secret to anyone that SunW.

But I think we did a great job playing with no excuses, which is one of the staples of our team this year.” No. 12 Duke’s (2-0) shutout win over Western Carolina (0-2) followed on the heels of a 3-1 victory against St. Louis (0-1) Friday night. Sunday, the Blue Devils attacked the Catamounts’ net early. Western Carolina countered by overloading its defense, but McCabe managed two early shots—one of

which was from the top of the box and curved into the chest of the opposing goalkeeper Alesha Row. McCabe finally broke the scoreless tie when she received a crisp cross from senior midfielder Rebecca Moros just inside the box. She deftly handled the pass and fired a goal into the left side of the net for Duke’s first and lone goal of the game with 22:43 left in the half. “Rebecca Moros played me an absolutely, great ball,” McCabe said. “Basically, I had five seconds at the top of the box, which never happens.” The elation of the first goal quickly dissipated as head coach Robbie Church became frustrated with his team’s slow and unfocused play at the end of the half. When the Blue Devils were unable to clear the ball out of their defensive end and were forced to boot it out of bounds with 13:25 left, Church stormed off the bench. He marched down the sideline and stood still as he gave his defense a frustrated glare. “I was really disappointed, after we SEE W. SOCCER ON PAGE 10

The goalie recorded 90 minutes of play, one save and one goal against. “I thought he did very well,” Rennie said. “We just need to play more games and get the communication between our defendersand our goalkeepers a little bit.” Duke faced Hartford Friday and got on the board in the 22nd minute with a goal from Germanese, a junior transfer from Vanderbilt. “Joe’s been terrific since day one,”.Rennie said. “He can score goals, and he works

Vidiera bounced a goal off the right post to put Duke up, 2-0, before the Hawks responded in the second half to cut the deficit to one. Vidiera scored his second goal of the game with an assist from Germanese, bouncing a shot off the crossbar and collecting his own rebound to raise the lead to two. Just 31 seconds later, Grella headed a ball from Zack Pope off the crossbar and in to put the Blue Devils on top, 4-1. Although the teams traded goals in the 75th minute with Wadsworth assisting sophomore Brad Ramsey for his first career goal, Hartford could not get an attack together and the game ended with a Blue Devil win. “Everybody’s playing pretty well,” Rennie said. “We’re very happy.” Duke hosts the Duke/Adidas Classic next weekend at Koskinen Stadium.

was a great start. I think we came out strong.” Hunkus is one of the many returning upperclassmen on this year’s older, more experienced team. Junior setter Ali Hausfeld, who racked up her 3,000th career assist in Friday’s match, finished the weekend with 116 assists. Hausfeld and fellow juniors Carrie DeMange and Jenny Shull were all named to the Preseason All-ACC team. DeMange, a middle blocker, tallied 37 kills, 11 blocks, and four aces this weekend. Shull racked up 67 digs and three aces as the libero in the first three matches. Nagel said she was happy with the way her veteran players have stepped up already. “Our upperclassmen are doing a great job of leading out there during challenging moments—and they could easily become less aggressive, get quiet, things like that, but they’re not allowing that to happen,” Nagel said. “We are a little older, and we know what to expect. We have high aspirations and we want to go for it, and I think those upperclassman are leading us.” The upperclassman were not the only ones contributing, however. Freshman Rachael Moss scored 25 kills, four aces, and 37 digs over the weekend, while freshman setter Christina Falcone added 16 sets. “I think we played some good teams this weekend, and I think we were put to some good tests, and it’s only going to prepare us for our ACC season,” Nagel said. “I was really, really pleased with the way our team worked together out there and communicated and were aggressive throughout. And that’s going to help us go far.”

VOLLEYBALL Head coach Jolene Nagel said she is excited about the upcoming season, and last year’s experience will give her an advantage. “We were relatively young [last year], and this year we have that experience behind us,” Nagel said. “So, I think that’s going to make a difference to us. And hopefully, our upperclassman can teach that to our younger players.” The talented freshman group of Rachael Moss, Brittany Staffed, Juliana Traut and Christina Falcone will don Duke uniforms for the first time this season and have a chance to learn from a matured, skilled squad. Moss, Staffed and Traut will train as outside hitters, while fellow freshman Falcone will work as a setter. “Our upperclassman worked very hard last spring,” Nagel said. “I think we made a lot of progress as a team. And we’re going to see the benefits of that this fall. But I also think the new freshmen coming in are going to complement a lot of whatwe’ve worked on, which is a wonderful place to be.” team

Duke rebounds from tough loss

Inside the team: Women's X-C

byAnand Sundaram THE CHRONICLE

Head coach: Kevin Jermyn Record at Duke; n/a Year at Duke:

Riding high on a No. 1 ranking for the majority of the season in 2005, Duke’s seven seniors thought the team’s last race together—the 2005 NCAA Championships—would also result in its first national championship title. The Blue Devils, however, ended their season just short of their goal to win Duke’s first cross country title with a thirdplace team finish at NCAAs. After a season scattered with first place finishes—including NCAA Southeast Regional and ACC titles—six of the seven seniors graduated without seeing the ultimate trophy. One remains. Senior captain Laura Stanley, who redshirted the 2004 season because of a broken elbow, will complete her final season of eligibility this year—but she’ll have to do it without the six other teammates that helped to establish Duke as a national presence. In the past two years, the Blue Devils have placed second and third at NCAAs, respectively. But this year, fresh faces litter the roster, and to stay elite, Stanley and the team rest of the team will have to mold young talent. “We think we have great potential, but it’s going to be a different year in that it’s going to be a different group,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “This year, I think we have to do a lot more development, a lot more teaching and development to turn that talent into national success.” In addition to the eight freshmen, sophomores Whitney Anderson—the 2005 ACC Freshman of the Year—and

Senior Natasha Roetter is one of threereturning runners who placed in last year's NCAA Championships. Maddie McKeever will continue to develop as harriers this season. Stanley, a five-year member of the Duke squad, can sympathize with the difAcuities of gaining experience while simultaneously trying to perform at a high level collectively. “It wasn’t easy at the beginning and we struggled a lot,” Stanley said. “It takes struggle to get to a high 1eve1.... We need to encourage them to feel comfortable in the role of stepping up.” The Blue Devils will need to rise to

the occasion this year to meet the high standard set by last year’s team. Like Stanley and her old classmates in their early years, Duke has a chance to start building again. With the six seniors gone, Jermyn said he expects his younger squad to step up. “Last year, when you had *5O many seniors who have been the best runners year in and year out, sometimes that can be intimidating,” Jermyn said. “Whether the [younger runners] like it or not, the door is wide open this year.”

Senior captain Laura Stanley red-shirted the 2004 cross country season because of a broken elbow, but came back to finish fourth at the 2005 ACC Indoor Championships in the 5,000-meter race and 23rd at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 10,000-meter race. Stanley also was a strong contributer to the 2005 cross country season for the Blue Devils, placing sixth at ACC Championships and running in the NCAA Championships, in which Duke earned third overall. As a matured athlete, Stanley is serious about her role to the incoming freshmen and younger athletes on the team. "It takes struggle to get to a high level," Stanley said. "We need to encourage them to feel comfortable in the role of stepping up. A lot of that has to with con-

Led by two goals from senior forward Cara-Lynn Lopresti, the Blue Devils jumped out to an early lead, and they never relinquished it. Senior Amy Stopford started the scoring for Duke on a penalty stroke six minutes into the game. Lopresti then scored her first goal on a pass from freshman Amie Survilla. After a goal by sophomore Ashley Pultorak less than two minutes later, Lopresti finished the first half scoring her second goal of the game, this time unassisted.

I think we’ve got to make sure we stay a little more focused.” Following halftime, Duke’s pace of play and aggressiveness elevated. The ball remained in the Catamounts’ defensive zone for most of the half, and the Blue Devils had numerous cracks on goal. Although the Blue Devils were unable to find the back of the net again, they fired 13 shots in the second half, seven of which were on goal. Duke had a flurry of opportunities late in the period, beginning with a cross from sophomore forward Christie McDonald to freshman forward Kay Anne Gummersall, who missed a shot wide left. Senior midfielder Darby Kroyer and freshman forward Elisabeth Redmond followed Gummersall’s attempt with two shots from outside the box that Row scrambled to save. The productivity of the freshmen was not isolated to the Western Carolina match. In Duke’s game against St. Louis, Gummersall and Redmond combined for two of the team’s three goals in the game. Gummersall scored the first goal of the game when she nailed a shot from 25 yards out with 33:22 left. “Obviously scoring in my first game was an absolutely amazing feeling,” Gummersall said. “That’s what I’ve been dreaming of since I was a litde girl.” The Billikens tied the game early in the second half, but later goals from Redmond and Moros sealed the 3-1 win. Duke travels next weekend for matches against Connecticut and Yale, which knocked the Blue Devils out of the NCAA tournament last season.
