If the University’s peer institutions change to a single application deadline, Duke will consider it as well, Guttentag said. But making the< decision is not a matter of succumbing to peer pressure. “One of the things I love about Duke is that it decides things for itself,” Guttentag said. “It’s not a matter of saying, ‘This school did it, then we should.’ If a significant number of other schools did it, that would be a reflection of a significant change in the admissions picture nationally.” A week after Harvard’s announcement, however, no other university has made a similar motion to change its policy. Many of Harvard’s closest rivals, including Yale University, Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania, announced that they would not be changing their policies in the near future. “Based on what I’ve seen in the last week and the response SEE ADMISSIONS ON PAGE 8

The placement of selective living groups may be slightly different when students return to campus next fall. Residence Life and Housing Services recently decided to
place one faculty-in-residence
in each West Campus quadrangle by next fall, Eddie Hull, dean of residence life and executive director of housing services, confirmed last week. The move may conflict with some selective living group sections, forcing them to relocate—an issue addressed by Joe Gonzalez, associate dean for residential life, in a Sept. 5 e-mail. “It looks like 2-3 groups would have to move based on conflicts with Faculty-in-Residence apartments and other factors,” Gonzalez wrote to the committee working to finalize the Selective Community Assessment.

Thousands of graduate and professional students pulled up their RVs and set up tents this weekend for a chance to secure a spot in Cameron Indoor Stadium for the upcoming men’s basketball season. The event, which is held every year by the Graduate and Professional Student Council, brought 2,159 hopefuls to the Blue Zone parking lot—7oo of whom walked away with season tickets. In a format similar to, but independent from, undergraduate tenting in Krzyzewskiville, students who camped out all weekend and were present for random checks were entered into a lottery to win a chance to buy a $l5O season ticket.

Apology fails to quell Arab anger by
Frances D’Emilio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY Pope Benedict XVI said Sunday that he is “deeply sorry” his remarks on Islam and violence offended Muslims, but the unusual expression of papal regret drew a mixed reaction from Islamic leaders as the Vatican worried about a backlash of violence. Some Muslim leaders accepted the statement. Others said it wasn’t enough, but urged Muslims to avoid violence after attacks on churches in Palestinian areas and the slaying of a nun in Somalia. Benedict said he regretted causing of-
fense with his speech last week in Germany, particularly his quoting of a medieval text that characterized some of the teachings of Islam’s founder as “evil and inhuman” and referred to spreading Islam “by the sword,” and said those words do not reflect his own
opinions. “I hope that this serves to appease hearts and to clarify the true meaning of my address, which in its totality was and is an invitation to frank and sincere dialogue, with great mutual respect,” he said during his weekly Sunday appearance before pilgrims. It was an unusual step for a leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Benedict’s pred-
ecessor, Pope John Paul 11, issued a number of apologies, but they dealtwith abuses and other missteps by the church in the past, not errors on his own part. Vatican officials had earlier sought to placate spreading Muslim anger by saying Benedict held Islam in high esteem and stressed that the central thrust of his speech was to condemn the use ofany religious motivation for violence, whatever the religion. While Benedict expressed regret his speech caused hurt, he did not retract what he said or say he was sorry he uttered what proved to be explosive words. Anger was still intense in Muslim lands.

Five Duquesne UniPITTSBURGH versity basketball players were shot on campus early Sunday, leaving at least one critically injured, after some of them tried to calm a man who apparently had been disruptive at a dance, officials said. Police searched for the gunman, and the downtown school stepped up its roundthe-clock police protection with armed university police officers guarding dormitories and other buildings. Two players had been walking near a
dormitory when they encountered a man who apparently had been disruptive at a student union dance, authorities said. The players attempted to pacify him and walked away but were shot. Players who rushed to their aid were also shot. The gunman and a group of people with him were not students, Duquesne President Charles Dougherty said. Several witnesses saw the gunman leave campus after the shots were fired. In critical condition was forward Sam Ashaolu of Toronto, a transfer from Lake Region State College and a cousin offormer
Houston Rockets star Hakeem Olajuwon In serious condition was Stuard Baldonado of Colombia, a transfer from Miami Dade College who was considered the school’s best recruit. Also hospitalized was Kojo Mensah, a guard from New York City who averaged nearly 17 points last season at Siena College before transferring, school officials said at a news conference Sunday. His condition was not released. Duquesne University is a private Catholic university with nearly 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

The Durham City/County Planning Department held a citywide meeting Friday and Saturday to solicit community input on the redevelopment of the Ninth Street area. Community members suggested changes ranging from installing better pedestrian walkways to implementing new building regulations. Some attendees said any new development should preserve the character ofNinth Street. “[Ninth Street] has something that I don’t know Chapel Hill’s Franklin Street really has,” said Nathan Lindquist, a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “It’s more—l don’t want to say ‘funky,’ but that’s the only word I can really think of.” Although many in attendance said Ninth Street needs to be revitalized, some said they were concerned that new developments might detract from the unique character of the area. “Change is good, but not all change is good,” said John Schelp, president of the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association. Schelp added that he feared too much development would diminish Ninth Street’s local flavor. “Ninth Street is quintessentially Durham,” Schelp said. “If we change Ninth Street to look like Bethesda, [Md.], then we will lose that Durham connection.” The group discussed the possibility of installing better crosswalks and sidewalks in areas of high pedestrian traffic. Four pedestrians have been hit by cars on Markham Avenue between Ninth and Broad Streets, Schelp said, adding that one pedestrian was killed. “There’s no sidewalk there,” Schelp SEE NINTH ST.

These phenomena are not just the subjects of B-grade horror movies or stories told to scare friends—they are part of what parapsychologist Steven Schwartz calls “experiencing non-local consciousness.” Schwartz is one of the inventors of “remote viewing,” a meditative process used to access non-local consciousness—the experience of being mentally outside of one’s location or time. This past weekend, about 30 people from across the United States gathered at the Duke Center for Living for Schwarz’s workshop, “Experiencing the Infinite; The Art and Science of Non-local Consciousness.” There were doctors, nurses and novelists —plus a 29-year-old club owner and a 70-year-old housewife, all of whom shared a fascination with parapsychology,

Student injured in Erwin Road accident by
Rob Copeland THE CHRONICLE
An SUV flipped onto the hood of an Audi sedan at about 1:05 p.ra. Friday at the intersection ofTowerview Road and Erwin Road after being hit by a car that ran a red light, Duke University Police Department officials reported. Senior Erin Glunt, the SUV’s driver, was taken to Duke University Medical Center as a precaution but did not sustain life-threatening injuries. “I came out pretty much unscathed,” she said, noting that she was released from the hospital at about 10 p.m. Friday. “I’m glad nobody else went to the hospital.” Glunt said she is not planning on pressing charges. The accident began when Gabrielle Vires, a 21-year-old student in the Duke Continuing Studies paralegal certificate program, ran a red light while traveling west on Erwin Road. “The light was green, I was on Erwin, and then it was red,” Vires said, adding that her 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt is brand-new.
“I broke but then I skidded through the intersection,” she said. Vires’ car collided with the rear of the Glunt’s SUV, which was traveling north on Towerview Road, said Lt. Sarah-Jane Raines, DUPD administrative services executive officer. “The [victim’s] car was hit after it was most of the way through the intersection,” Raines said. The force of the impact lifted the SUV into the air, she said. It landed on the hood of an Audi sedan waiting in the left-turn lane on southbound Towerview Road. The SUV slid off the Audi and landed upside-down, Raines added. “A couple of EMTs pulled me out,” Glunt said. “I haven’t actually seen [my car] but everybody that I’ve talked to has said it’s totaled.” The Audi’s three occupants —including Dr. Shein-Chung Chow and Sin-ho Jung, professors in DUMC—were unharmed. Raines said an investigation is underway. Saidi Chen and Iza Wojciechowska contributed to this artick.

Bartenders tap into Durham social scene
Bartenders at George's Garage said they enjoy the social interactions they get to have while on the job. by
Jacqui Detwiler THE CHRONICLE
On a typical Saturday night, Duke students, like most students, can be found in a select handful of places —throwing themselves indiscriminately at members of the opposite sex at the James Joyce Pub, dancing on tables at Shooters II or crowding around the bar at George’s Garage. But just how much do students who patronize local bars know about the bartenders who effectively control their Saturday night blood alcohol levels? Apparently, not as much as bartenders know about students. “It’s hard not to judge people based on what they order,” said Michael Gagnon, a three-year veteran bartender at Sirens Lounge, just off East Campus. “When a big football-player type walks in and orders a Cosmopolitan, it’s gonna

N.C.gas prices fall following U.S. trend by
Tina Carter
THE CHRONICLE
After years of record-high gas prices, North Carolina has experienced an approximate 40-cent price drop over the past month, with some local stations advertising as low as $2.49 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. The price is consistent with the national average of $2.51 per gallon, according to American Automobile Association statistics. “I’m not paying that much less, but mentally, it’s nice to see $2.50 instead of $3.00,” said Alyssa Platt, a first-year graduate student. There are a variety of factors that affect prices, said Christopher Timmins, associate professor ofeconomics. He cited hurricane season, global demand and government standards as potential reasons. He also referenced “Hotelling’s Rule,” an economic theory concerning the consumption ofresources. “If you think you’re going to run out sooner, then the price today has to go up,” Timmins said. “People bump up expectations when they think the terminal point will be reached.” Although that approaching point kept prices high, some stations said they saw minimal change in their sales. “We conducted business as usual,” said John Boy, owner of the Exxon-Mobil station on Ninth Street. “People still have to drive.” Some students reflected this attitude. “Gas prices don’t really have an ef-

The 78-year-old businessman said he had been planning the gift for a while and that the money will be given to Yeshiva in installments in the next couple years. Yeshiva, which has an educational structure heavily influenced by Jewish teachings, said the $lOO million gift was the largest single amount ever given to support Jewish education in the United States. The donation will establish the Ronald R Stanton Legacy, and will be used to recruit faculty members, construct new buildings and pay for research, among other projects.

Gill fatally shot Anastasia DeSousa, an 18-year-old student at the college. 11 others were wounded in the gunfire, and additional students and faculty were injured as they fled. Four victims are still in critical condition—one of which remains in a coma, health officials said.
Stanford to ban pharmaceutical gifts Stanford University Medical Center will not allow doctors to accept any gifts—including items as small as pens and mugs—from pharmaceutical companies, officials announced last week. The new policy, effective Oct. 1, is intended to minimize industry influence on physicians’ education and care of patients. The announcement is part of a growing movement among similar medical centers in order to ensure that the public can place utmost trust in academic medicine. The change will cost the medical center millions of dollars annually in industry support and will also prohibit physicians from accepting drug samples and from publishing articles ghost-written by
industry contractors.
officials drew up several sketches analyzing residential, commercial and transitional zones of development. Although the group discussed how other cities have managed their public space, Cain said there is no specific model for the revitalization of Ninth Street. “We’re not trying to be like anything else,” he said. “We’re trying to get from the public what Ninth Street should be.” Cain said although there were a variety of projected proposals for renovation, it is up to the designers to incorporate the common elements into a practical plan. “The thing to realize is minds are open and options are open,” he said.

living groups will be evaluated starting in January. There are currently 25 selective living groups on campus. Decisions from the administration regarding the movement of certain groups should be announced by Thursday, said senior Jay Ganatra, president of Campus Council. Ganatra added that having faculty on West is a good idea, but the placement of these apartments must be con-
templated carefully. “If you add faculty into an area between a lot of sections or right next to them, it’s not going to be good for anyone,” Ganatra said. “We need to figure out away to incorporate the faculty that will benefit the entire quad.”
Some dorm rooms and commons rooms on West will be altered into apartments next summer to accommodate faculty-in-residence, Ganatra said.
Placement of the apartments will be determined by the architectural setup of the buildings, he added. The committee working on the Selective Community Assessment, which consists of members from Campus Council, RLHS, Interfraternity Council, Selective Housing Council and the faculty, will finalize the process by the end of September, Ganatra said. The criteria by which selective living groups will be evaluated is to be completed by the end of October. Hull said he will review the policy and approve it by the end of November. “What we’re aiming for is self-governing—establishing a system where housing of groups will be able to be relocated based on merit and not just random lottery,” said senior Dave Lee, SHC president and member of the Selective Community Assessment committee. Lee, a member of Wayne Manor, added that nothing is set in stone yet and the committee will act according to decisions made by administration. Ganatra said he does not believe any big changes will be made to the location of selective living groups.
“My guess is that it will be more of a shuffling ofrooms, from one hallway to another,” Ganatra said. “Entire sections shouldn’tbe moved.” Wayne Manor President Tom Adelman, a junior, said the addition of six faculty-in-residences has the potential to affect six selective living groups. “Hopefully that doesn’t happen to my section—we’re happy where we are,” he said. “I understand they have to at least move a couple of groups because of altered structure with the addition of faculty. But there’s no reason to rush it. “It’s like they’re doing it just to move the groups,” Adelman added. He said he is troubled that the decision regarding shuffling of groups will be made before groups can be reviewed by the Selective Community Assessment. “I hope the decision regarding the movement of selective living groups will be based on the assessment, instead of decided before [the assessment is in place],” said senior Peter Williams, president of Pi Kappa

Although the event has been called a miniature K-ville by some, the only thing miniature about it was its duration —not its size. The parking lots were lined with U-Hauls and trailers, with students gathering to watch college football on large televisions, laugh at karaoke attempts or simply discuss the event. Every inch of the lawn was covered with tents from small to large, of every shape and color. Although many chose to sleep in trailers and tents, some spent the nights in sleeping bags on the pavement or decided not to sleep at all. Booths with refreshments, stadium lighting and portable bathrooms dotted the area. To entertain the campers, LeFew and his committee provided a number of activities, including a DJ, latenight movie showings, silent auction, complimentary meals, appearance from men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski and an “aqua-flip cup tournament.” “I’ve never seen so many alcohol games being played in one place,” said Christine Vaughn, a graduate student in public policy. Emily Stewart, a graduate student in humanities, described the campout as “intense,” noting the large number of activities occurring during a single weekend. “It’s one of those things you can’t really describe to people outside of it,” Stewart said. In addition, 840 graduate and professional students participated in 27 campout-sponsored service projects in the area Saturday morning. The projects ranged from cleaning up Duke Forest to manning a booth at Southpoint Mall to assisting with a cricket tournament. LeFew likened the scope of the event—which draws more than a third of the University’s graduate and professional student body—to hosting a student-run rock

OIL PRICES
BARTENDERS from page 4

The “winter-blend” of gas, which is less refined, is
cheaper, Knuffman said. “Ultimately, they’re going to keep going up,” she added. “People are just becoming more aware of the lifecycle cost of energy and how it impacts, well, everything.” The Associated Press reported Sept. 5 that Chevron unearthed enough oil to expand the national oil reserves by 50 percent, which will lower expectations and prices, Timmins said.
Higher prices can often lead to innovation in cheaper alternative fuels, and both Knuffman and Timmins said the future of consistently lower prices could lie in the ethanol industry. Scientists will develop alternative sources and continue to bring down costs until they become viable substitutes for oil, Timmins added. Until then, people need to be educated about the other fuels and their impacts on energy, Knuffman said.
might even know who is talking about that hot barkeep in the red shirt. “There’s this common misconception that bartenders can’t hear you. Maybe because there’s this big thing between you and us,” Gagnon said tapping the bar. “But we can, and sometimes you hear a lot of things that you don’t want to hear.” Such as when a potential hookup is not going according to plan. Want a play-by-play of why “If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put you and I together” flopped for the fourth time? “Ask the bartender,” said Gagnon, a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “We’re pretty perceptive when it comes to doomed hookups—we know.” Even when customers get obnoxious, bartenders have to at least look like they’re having fun. This Saturday, while racing to accommodate hundreds of ’Bos-clad undergraduate students, the bartenders at out—they
George’s Garage were still smiling and having a rocking good time. Both Scholtz and Gagnon cited social interaction as their favorite part of the job, but they said conver-
sations often seem one-sided. Anyone who took the time to sit down and talk to them would quickly find out they’re pretty good guys. Sholtz, despite being single and attractive—often markers of moral impropriety —said he would never take an obviously intoxicated girl home. Meanwhile, Gagnon is working his way through college at UNC and, instead of poundingjager until 7 a.m., leaves the bar straight after work to let his dogs out into the yard. Despite the seeming advantages of making money in a room full of alcohol, however, bartending is a job. Bartenders are out from early evening until the wee hours, solely to make the night entertaining for patrons. Given everything that bartenders hear and have to do the course of an evening, it’s almost surprising that in they even come back. Gagnon said he does it to meet new people who like to have a good time. “Every night is a new adventure in bartending,” he said.

I’ve seen so far, I think the odds are less than 50-50 that we’ll change,” Guttentag said. He acknowledged, however, that the early-admission policy fosters certain problems, including a lack of access for disadvantaged students and an increased frenzy surrounding the college-admission process. As their rationale, Harvard officials stated that early admission is unfair to poorer applicants, who often apply regular decision in order to compare different schools’ financial-aid packages. William Fitzsimmons, Harvard dean of admissions and financial aid, told The Harvard Crimson that the change “is certainly a win for students in the bottom quarter and bottom half of the income distribution.” Applying early at many universities often also requires that students commit to a school in October, though regular-decision applicants do not need to select a school until May. “Most high school seniors, for any number of reasons, are not ready to do that,” Guttentag said. “Their feelings aren’t conclusive enough in those areas by October.” Harvard’s decision may not single-handedly solve these inherent flaws in early-admission policies, but if the university did so in the hopes that other schools would follow, it might be a step in the right direction. Nonetheless, Guttentag said Duke benefits from the depth of commitment and breadth of personality ofits approximately 12 percent of students admitted through the University’s early-decision program. Early decision—as opposed to Harvard and other colleges’ non-binding early-action policies—requires students to make a binding decision when applying early and to commit to the school if admitted. “We like having a core group of students who want to be here more than any other place,” he said. “They’re enthusiastic, they’re involved and they set the tone.” He added that in the event the University were to eliminate early admission, it would have “some effect” on the students for whom Duke was an unambiguous first choice. Duke benefits from having an early-decision policy because it guarantees spots to students who really want to be at Duke, Guttentag said. It is only advantageous, however, as long as not too much of the class is admitted early. “We want to be responsive to our early-decision applicants, and we want to be fair to the regular-decision applicants,” he said, adding that regular-decision admission offers comprise about, 88 percent of each class. Harvard’s admission change, however, will likely not have much of an impact on Duke’s early- and regular-admission numbers in the near future and will likely not have an impact on Harvard’s numbers either. More than 22,500 students apply to Harvard each year, and fewer than 10 percent get in. Last year, 3,869 students in Harvard’s Class of 2010 competed for 813 early-admission spots. “Even if other schools don’t follow, this is not going to hurt Harvard’s appeal among high school students and their parents,” Guttentag said. He said he had not been aware that Harvard was considering making this move, and most universities now are watching each other, lying in wait. “Perhaps some universities will decide that this is the path they’ll want to go as well,” Guttentag said. “Nobody else seems to be jumping on that particular bandwagon right now, but it’s only been a week,” he added.

part or the University administration. In the wake of the event, the Belmont management posted guards at the front entrance and took other positive steps to address security problems, including poor outdoor lighting and a broken exit gate. Moneta also sent a mass e-mail to the student body, summarizing the incident and encouraging preventative measures, A good response to the alleged assault, however, does not excuse the communicatipn problems among local police and the University, DPD and the Duke University Police Department have a unique relationship, in that they work together
ly among students the following day—but the news did not spread fast enough among the parties that mattered most: The police and the Duke administration. Indeed, Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, told The Chronicle that he learned of the incident in the newspaper, not from police channels. It seems that the Durham Police Department, which responded to the alleged victim’s 911 call, did not communicate well—if at all—with its Duke counter-
off campus when students are in question. Every weekend, police patrol Trinity Park just off East Campus and station cars near Erwin Square apartments. And after the advent of the lacrosse rape scandal last year, increased cooperation between DUPD and DPD this year seemed likely. Why, then, when a student was physically threatened off campus in an apartment complex with a large Duke population, did police communication falter? It often seems that the police —pushed by the University and local neighborhood groups—are primarily concerned with preventing and punishing bad student behavior. Protection of students, on
the other hand, does not always seem to be a top priority. This fact is unquestionably worrisome for any and all students living or visiting friends off campus. Their safety should be priority No. 1 for DUPD and their collaborators in the DPD. As administrators have reiterated for years, students should lock their doors, not give out security codes and avoid other actions that could threaten their security off campus. But part of the safety burden rests on the police. It would not be hard for DPD and DUPD to improve lines of communication and alter patrol routes to better protect students. There are a handful of apartment

the Belmont, Partners Place and Erwin Square —that can and should receive more attention. Many of these places are “gated” or have secured, coded entrances, but these protectors are minimal; people can still piggy-back into parking lots or foyers, for instance. In addition to such in-house security mechanisms, the watchful eye ofpolice is a necessity. The Duke administration should prioritize fixing the weak communication links with and between DPD and DUPD, and the police should more actively patrol off-campus housing—not just to prowl for drunk and disorderly Dukies, but more importantly, to look for and eliminate threats to students.
ry of hundreds of studies on the david brooks neurological difguest column ferences between men and women All human beings, she writes, start out with a brain that looks female. But around the eighth week in the womb, testosterone surges through male brains, killing cells in some regions (communications) and growing cells in others (sex and ag-
gression). By the time they are three months old, girls are, on average, much better at making eye contact with other people and picking up information from faces. During play, girls look back at their mothers, on average, 10 to 20 times more than boys, to check for emotional signals. Girls can also, on average, hear a broader range of sounds in the human voice, and can better discern changes in tone. Later, girls are much more likely to use sentences that begin with “Let’s” while playing: Let’s do this or Let’s do that. They are more likely to take turns. Brizendine argues that of course culture and environment powerfully shape behavior, but brain structure and chemistry incline girls to pursue certain goals: “To forge connection, to create community, and to organize and orchestrate a girl’s world so that she’s at the center of it.” During adolescence, the female brain is washed in estrogen. Female teenagers, in general, experience an intense desire for social connection, which releases near-orgasmic rushes of oxytocin in the brain. They are, on average, more sensitive to stress (by age 15, girls are twice as likely to suffer from depression). The male brain, meanwhile, is producing 10 times more testosterone than the female brain, meaning the male sex drive is, on average, much greater. Brizendine then describes waves ofhormonal activity as women age. Female brains vary with the seasons of life much more than male brains. During menopause, for example, estrogen levels drop. Personalities can change as some women derive less pleasure from nurturing and more from independence. Women initiate 65 percent of di-
vorces after age 50 These sorts of stark sex differences were once highly controversial, and not fit for polite conversation. And some feminists still argue that talking about biological differences between the sexes is akin to talking about biological differences between the races. But Brizendine’s feminist bona tides are unquestionable. And in my mostly liberal urban circle—and among this book’s reviewers—almost everybody takes big biological differences as a matter of course. Without too much debate or even awareness, there has been a gigantic shift in how people think human behavior is formed. Consider all the theories put forward to explain personality. Freud argued that early family experiences relating to defecationand genital stimulation created unconscious states that influencedbehavior through life. In the 19505, the common view was that humans begin as nearly blank slates and that behavior is learned through stimulus and response. Over the ages, thinkers have argued that humans are divided between passion and reason, or between the angelic and the demonic. But now the prevailing view is that brain patterns were established during the millenniums when humans were hunters and gatherers, and we live with the consequences. Now, it is generally believed, our behavior is powerfully influenced by genes and hormones. Our temperaments are shaped by whether we happened to be born with the right mix of chemicals. Consciousness has come to be seen as this relatively weak driver, riding atop an organ, the brain, it scarcely understands. When we read that male voles with longer vasopressin genes are more likely to remain monogamous, it seems plausible that so fundamental a quality could be tied to some discrete bit of biology. This shift in how we see human behavior is bound to have huge effects. Freudianism encouraged people to think about destroying inhibitions. This new understanding both validates ancient stereotypes about the sexes, and fuzzes up moral judgments about human responsibility (biology inclines individuals toward certain virtues and vices). Once radicals dreamed of new ways of living, but now happiness seems to consist of living in harmony with the patterns that nature and evolution laid down long, long ago.

Hungry, hungry sophomores
After
another long night at George’s last night, I find myself lying in bed with a wicked hangover and a penis drawn on my face. I somehow get myself to roll out of bed and check my e-mail. There’s a solo cup filled half with beer and half with throw up on my desk. My head is spinning as it tries to
piece together fuzzy memories. The only discemable feeling I can clearly make out the mOmilU] WOOfi in my body is the won day, monday shooting pain coming from my stomach. No worries. All I need are some pancakes and a buffalo chicken sandwich, and I’ll be good to go. And there it is. I can literally see it outside my window. Rick’s is right there, taunting me with remembrances of slow service, dirty food and easily stolen chocolate milks. How is it possible/legal/moral for Rick’s to remain empty? It’s like some sick prank that Dick Brodhead is playing on Edens, some kind of “F%*@ You” stemming from the Ryan McFadyen media coverage. Honestly, half the food I eat is consumed between the hours of 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. This Rick’s absence has got to end. For God sakes, now where are drunken girls supposed to get cheap dimes at three in the morning? But this new place Tommy’s is coming in, I’m told. Well? Where is it? How can it take such a long time for this process to occur? And in the meantime, do they have to keep the Rick’s sign up there? I swear every time I walk through McClendon, I feel like that sign is laughing at me. McDonald’s is now open 24 hours a day. Spectacular. Do you have any idea how far it is to get to McDonald’s? I actually bum off my meal every time I eat there just walking back to my room. Until McDonald’s starts doing late-night delivery (which would be amazing and could definitely work), it might as well be in “Central Territory” for me. The food situation on campus has become pathet®

ic. I tried eating at the Blue Devil Beanery the other day. My blueberry scone was merely a mirage, as there were no blueberries to be found on the inside, not to mention a fairly cornbreadish scone. My iced mocha latte quite frankly sucked. And yes, I realize that I’m publicly emasculating myself. No one wants to say it, but Alpine is terrible, and yet it’s packed everyday. I don’t get it. It somehow got this allure of being the place to be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., but the food is horrible. I would pay for a New York deli to be put in place of Alpine. Seriously, I made some bank this summer; how much could it possibly cost? Alpine has amazingly not just remained in existence, but has actually thrived solely off of its music. Do you think the first person to create an Alpine mix had any idea the impact they would have? The music is legitimately the entire business. I have been at Duke for a little over a year now, and if there is one thing that drives me crazy about this campus, it is the service at Alpine. Specifically, and I know I am not alone here, I can’t stand Rio. He is horrible. There is even a Facebook group for students who want to vent about how terribly he screwed up their sandwiches. He is always angry, never makes the sandwich you want, and takes FOREVER. Honesdy, if you were going to get mad every time someone ordered a sandwich, is working at Alpine really the place for you? Then again, it must be pretty fun to live your life pushing over-privileged Dukies’ patiences knowing that no one cares enough to do anything about it. If you are reading this, Dick Brodhead, please. End this madness. The food selection is drier than East Campus. If not for those lovely ladies and dank nuggets at Chic-fil-A, I’d probably transfer. I’m starving, and all I want is a Tyler sandwich.

Sept. 11 and academic freedom Any
discussion of academic freedom at Duke must begin with the Bassett Affair that occurred Dec. 2,1903 after Trinity College professor John Spencer Bassett published “Stirring up the Fires ofRacial Andpathy” in The South Atlandc Quarterly. His description of Booker T. Washington as die “greatest man, save General Lee” to be bom in the South caused an outcry among politicians demanding his resignation. The Board of Trustees’ decision to reject his resignation was later commended by President Teddy Roosevelt as an important stand for academic freedom. larry burk Ironically, the University of column guest Wisconsin at Madison is now dealing with a similar situation, except it is a “Barrett Affair” featuring Kevin Barrett, Ph.D., an untenured instructor teaching “Islam: Religion and Culture” this fall. His course syllabus includes a week on the War on Terror during which he will have students critique both the 9/11 Commission Report and alternative theories from the 9/11 Truth movement. News of his intentions provoked 61 members of the state legislature to sign a letter on July 20 demanding his termination. UW-Madison Provost Patrick Farrell conducted a review of the case and decided to allow Barrett to teach stating “we cannot allow political pressure from critics of unpopular ideas to inhibit the free exchange of ideas. Silencing that exchange now would only open the door to more onerous and sweeping restrictions.” John Wiley, the University's Chancellor said “he does a good job teaching that course, no matter what his views are. If there’s one place controversy should be welcomed, it’s universities.” A central issue is that Barrett, a Muslim, is a member of the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth (www.mujca.com). He said his critics are “welcome to their opinions, but we have a tradition ofacademic freedom here in Wisconsin of sifting fearlessly in pursuit of truth because our motto has it—The truth will set you free.” He has also said, “I don’t inflict my views on students, but it’s important they understand that the vast majority of the world’s Muslims believe that 9/11 was an inside job, and important to understand why they hold those beliefs.” In that context, Barrett cites Duke Islamic scholar Bruce Lawrence regarding the veracity of the Osama bin Laden audiotape from January 2006, “he says that the recent tape is a fake and that it is possible bin Laden is not even alive.” Lawrence’s book, Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama Bin Laden, has been criticized in an Amazon.com review as “evidence of the continuing alliance ofWestern leftists and Islamic terrorists,” but he has not provoked the ire of local politicians or a review by the Duke Board ofTrustees. More recently, another scholar has come under fire for his views on 9/11, tenured Professor of Psychology William'Woodward at the University of New Hampshire. Woodward stated, “there was a genuine conspiracy on the part of insiders at the highest level of our government,” and he plans to teach a course to explore 9/11 “in psychological terms —terms like belief, conspiracy, fear, truth, courage, group dynamics.” Republican State Senator Jack Bames threatened “maybe we’d better check the UNH budget very closely next year if they have guys like that teaching our kids,” but thus far Woodward has not been sanctioned. Brigham Young University physics professor Steve Jones took a more proactive approach which yielded productive academic discussion for the past year. “I presented my objections to the ‘official’ theory' at a seminar at BYU on Sept. 22, 2005, to about 60 people. I also showed evidence and scientific arguments for the controlled demolition theory. In attendance were faculty from Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, Geology, and Mathematics.” However, with his recent authoring of a chapter in the controversial new book, 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, by philosopher and theologian David Ray Griffin, Jones was put on paid leave for the semester pending official review by the University. (10) Unfortunately, the only publicly televised and relatively balanced debate so far has been in a non-academic venue. Democracy Now! featured the “9/11 Debate: Loose Change Filmmakers vs. Popular Mechanics Editors of ‘Debunking 9/11 Myths’” on the sth Anniversary of 9/11.

Following 110 scoreless minutes in a tie against Virginia Tech, Duke got back on the board and in the win column Saturday Harvard. Goals by forwards Mike Grella and Spencer Wadsworth lifted the fifth-ranked Blue Devils (6-0-1) past the Crimson, 2-1, in Cambridge, Mass. Grella put Duke on the board in the game’s 24th minute, beating Harvard goaltender Adam PUKE I 2 Hahn to a 1 from Wadsworth HARVARD and knocking the ball into the uncontested goal. After Andre Akban netted the equalizer for the Crimson (4-2) at the end of the first half, Wadsworth scored the game-winner eight minutes after intermission. Once again, a Duke forward beat Hahn to a pass in the box, and Wadsworth lofted the shot over the Crimson goalie for the 2-1 lead. Assistant coach Mike Jeffries said he was happy to see the Blue Devils score, but said being shut out by the Hokies Tuesday night did not affect Duke’s offensive swagger. “We still have confidence that we can move the ball, create chances and get goals,” he said. “We haven’t lost that edge.” The Blue Devil defense once again did itsjob, holding the high-powered Harvard offense—which entered the match averaging 2.8 goals per game—scoreless in the second half. Brendan Fitzgerald, making his third start of the year in goal, recorded three saves for Duke. “We did a pretty good job of staying with runners and of physically matching up with their forwards,” Jeffries said. “We did a good job just keeping our shape and not getting as stretched as we had been in

We need to be a little bit more composed.... We’ve got to be able to put things in the goal.” Following a 1-0 loss to Florida Friday, the Blue Devils (4-3-1) came out hungry Sunday against the Golden Eagles (2-3-3), scoring five minutes into the match. Sophomore Christie McDonald headed a corner kick from senior Lauren Tippets past the goalkeeper into the bottom left corner of the net. “I was left pretty open as my defender went in front of me,” McDonald said. “I just headed it to the far post.” But the goal—Duke’s only score on the weekend—was not enough to deliver a win. Five minutes into the second half, Marquette’s Lauren Weber sent a 23-yard shot past goalkeeper Allison Lipsher’s outstretched hand into the top left corner of the net. In a back-and-forth battle for the rest of the game, neither team could capitalize on its opportunities. The Blue Devils took eight shots in the extra periods —matching their shot total from regulation —but were unable to find the net. “We just talked with our coaches about

But even though the Blue Devils were able to create several scoring chances—Duke took 11 shots in the second period—they could not put the ball in the net. “Sometimes when you’re playing a good team, a half is not enough,” Church said.

Nine minutes into the second overtime Sunday afternoon, Duke goalie Caitlin Williams deflected a shot from No. 3 Old Dominion into her own goal, handing the No. 5 Blue Devils (6-2) their second loss of the season. The 4-3 loss ODU Sunday came one day after Williams DUKE and Duke shut out unranked ApAPR ST. palachian State DUKE (0-6), 7-0. “How does if feel to lose any game?” Bozman said. “It’s not a good feeling. I think we played well today, and ultimately they won the game.” Until the second overtime, Williams had helped put Duke on the verge of its third consecutive win and an upset. She recorded eight saves and left the net several times to cut off breaks on goal by the Lady Monarchs (7-1). Williams’ success ended, however, on Old Dominion senior Caroline Nichols’ shot in front of the net. “[Williams] had a number of one-onones and she stepped up to all of them,” sophomore midfielder Marian Dickinson said. “She played awesome—no fault to [Caitlin] at all.” The Lady Monarchs outshot the Blue Devils in every period—both halves and both overtimes—putting pressure on a Duke defense thathad recorded two consecutive shutouts coming into Sunday’s game.

The No. 1 Blue Devils finished with a three-day total of one-under par, 863, which beat Georgia by three strokes.

But the Lady Monarchs defense would not allow another goal, and Old Dominion would tie the game on junior forward Shannon Mobley’s goal midway through the second half. “We just didn’t adjust, and we allowed them to get back in the game,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “They made some tactical adjustments, and we didn’t adjust to it
and they punished us for it.” Despite balding such a physical opponent into two overtimes, strong defense and exceptional play by Williams allowed Duke the opportunity to continue its home winning streak after shutting out Appalachian State. Although they missed the opportunity, Bozman said theloss was not a “let down.” “It’s hardest to lose in a game like this when you’re up and then they come back,” Dickinson said. “It’s hard just because you put everything out there, and you’re up, and you should win.”

the field for several minutes before leaving for Duke’s locker room, where he was diagnosed with a concussion. After the game, Rouse apologized to Roof for the brutal hit. “I felt like he was going to run the ball —he started running toward me and I ran toward him at the last minute, and I was already committed,” Rouse said. “You have to play by the rules of the game, but at the same time you can’t be confined by them.” By the dme Lewis returned to Duke’s sideline late in the second half wearing street clothes, the game was out of reach. Roof had planned to use the Blue Devils’ week-one starting quarterback, sophomore Marcus Jones, at wide receiver against the Hokies. But when Lewis went down, Jones changed pads and jerseys—the backup No. 6 jersey he wore in the first half did not have his last name stitched on it—and entered the game. Neither quarterback succeeded much in moving the Blue Devils’ offense, which had rebounded under Lewis’ guidance against the Demon Deacons from an anemic effort against Richmond. Lewis’ six-yard completion to Stefanow was Duke’s longest passing play of the first half. In the opening period, Duke gained 28 yards while Virginia Tech put up 23 points. The Blue Devils finished the game with 139 offensive yards to Virginia Tech’s 418. Hokie quarterback Sean Glennon threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns, and Ore and tailback Kenny Lewis each ran for scores. The Hokies also scored on special teams when Eddie Royal zig-zagged
58 yards through Duke’s coverage unit after picking up a bouncing Alex Feinberg punt. That score put the Hokies up, 13-o,* toward the end of the first quarter. Duke struggled with its tackling on special teams and at times on defense, though the Blue Devils’ run defense held strong for the third straight week. Another bright spot was the field goal unit succeeding in blocking two Hokie extra points. Still, Virginia Tech’s athleticism proved too much for Duke to overcome. “We’re almost there, and we have them wrapped up, and we have them within our reach, but we don’t make a play,” linebacker Michael Tauiliili said. “Those are the things that determine the game. Duke moved the ball more successfully in the second half with Jones under center. The sophomore connected for 38 yards down the left side to wideout Eron Riley to move the Blue Devils to the Hokie 19 late in the third quarter. But the Blue Devils could not convert on the red-zone opportunity, electing to go for fourth-and-six from the 15 instead of kicking the field goal. Jones’ scamper on that play came up short, and a Jones fumble on Duke’s final fourth-quarter drive sent the Blue Devils home scoreless for the second straight year against the Hokies. “I wanted to make sure to send the message to our team that we’re not playing to kick field goals, we’re playing to win,” Roof said ofhis red-zone decision. After Duke’s third loss to the Hokies in Virginia Tech’s first three years in the conference—including last year’s 45-0 home defeat—the Blue Devils move into their bye week before facing Virginia at home Sept. 30.

Hokies’ athleticism proves too much for Duke by Sam Levy THE CHRONICLE
BLACKSBURG, Va. Late in the first quarter, after another Duke drive stalled, Alex Feinberg trotted on to the field to punt.
As Virginia Tech’s vaunted punt-block team at Feinberg’s right foot, the punter barely got the punt off in time. The game Punt came out low, and the Hokies’ Eddie Royal picked up analysis the bouncing ball at the Duke 42 yard-line. He made a few moves, and took off toward the left sideline. With the help of a few crushing blocks, Royal weaved through what seemed to be the entire Blue Devil team before cutting back across the field and diving over the front right pylon for a touchdown. This one play demonstrated the theme of the game between Duke and 14th-ranked Virginia Tech —that the Hokies were physically and athletically superior to the still-winless Blue Devils. “Their athletes made plays —it’s very simple,” head coach Ted Roof said. “They’ve got as good a skill group of athletes as there are in the coun-
charged
try.”
WEIYITAN/THE CHRONICLE
Virginia Tech recorded eight sacksfor a combinedBlue Devil loss of 44 yards Saturday.
On the Blue Devils’ first offensive play from scrimmage, already trailing 6-0, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis was sacked for a loss and had to come out of the game for a few plays just to get his wits back. Perhaps still shaken from that first hit and two ensuing roughing the passer penalties against Virginia Tech, Lewis went down for good early in the second quarter after a vicious hit from Hokie rover Aaron Rouse. After completing a pass to tight-end Nick Stefanow, the freshman was knocked hard to the ground by Rouse and did not return to the game after being diagnosed later with a concussion. Replays showed that the hit—which resulted in the third roughing the passer penalty called against Virginia Tech in the first half—bordered
on what some may consider a dirty play. “Everything is so fast,” Rouse said. “I felt like he was going to run the ball. He started running towards me, and I ran towards him at the last minute. I was already committed. Once I’m committed, it’s kind of hard for me to pull off. If I could have pulled off I would have.” Virginia Tech head coach Frank Reamer said his player was apologetic and that he didn’t think the hit was intentional. Nonetheless, Reamer added that the play could have been avoided. “If you have to take more than one step on that quarterback, you have to pull up,” he said. Rut outside ofcontroversial late hits, the Hokies manhandled the Rlue Devils throughout the course of the afternoon. Virginia Tech was consistently more aggressive, constantly pressuring Lewis and backup quarterback Marcus Jones, who replaced Lewis in the second quarter. “They’re a very fast team,” Jones said. “I’m lucky to come out in one piece.” The Hokie defense—which gave up an average of only 85 yards rushing per game in its first two contests—allowed Duke only 58 yards on the ground and sacked the Rlue Devil quarterbacks eight times. As Virginia Tech dominated the game physically, it also gave Duke fits in the open field. Royal’s punt return was a prime example of this, but throughout the game, the Hokie receivers and running backs consistendy broke tackles and made Rlue Devil defenders miss in the open field. On one Hokie drive in the first half, tailback Branden Ore was met in the backfield by a Duke defender on three consecutive plays, but each time he was able to spring free for a substantial

MILITARY FEEL
When game time approaches at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va., the excitement is palpable. The student section, which consists of the entire north endzone bleachers and portions of the east side of the stadium, begins bouncing up and down, similar to the Cameron Crazies. At the same time, the alumni file in from outside the stadium. Virginia Tech's Corps of Cadets stand in formation during the national anthem and then form two lines through which the Hokies run from out of their locker-room. The Hokies enter the stadium to Metallica's "Enter Sandman," much to the crowd's delight. During the game, the Corps fires a cannon each time the Hokies score. TAILGATE?
Duke's administration would likely approve of Virginia Tech's "tailgating" experience. Hokie fans arrive early to grill and drink, but groups are spread out between the many different parking lots surrounding the stadium. And when game time approaches, everybody heads for his seat. THE STADIUM EXPERIENCE Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University wants people to know it doesn't like to be called "VaTech."

Behind the play of sophomores Jennie Lee and Amanda Blurnenherst, Duke surged ahead Saturday to lead by seven strokes heading into die disappointing final round. “We had very, very good rounds the first two days,” Lee said. “The last day we didn’t play as well, but we pulled out the win and that’s what you want.” In individual competition, 27th-ranked Lee continued her streak of impressive play from last season and finished tied for fourth—the best finish of the Blue Devils. Lee, who shot a career-best five-under-par 67 on Saturday, was tied for first after 36 holes, and seemed poised to hold that position well into her final round. But the soph-
omore faltered, shooting four-over on her final five holes, which left her at two-under par for the tournament. Reigning National Player of the Year Blumenherst, who won the Mason Rudolph Championship one year ago in her first collegiate tournament, finished tied for eighth place, two-over par. Friday’s round saw another first for Blumenherst—the first time in her career her score was not counted towards Duke’s total. Out of five players, four scores count each day of competition and she was the only Blue Devil over par on the day. Blumenherst recovered, though, firing a three-underpar 69 on Saturday to help the team land in first place. Senior Anna Grzebien, ranked 14th nationally, finished tied for 11th after rounds of 71, 74 and 72. Junior Jennifer Pandolfi carded a three-over-par 219 over three days to end in a tie for 16th place, and freshman Alison Whitaker finished tied for 33rd. “Overall, I’m very' happy,” Brooks said. “What you want is golf where everyone looks like they could win it individually. We’re not there yet, but we’re close.”

THE CHRONICLE
Following a week off, Duke jumped right back into competition with a strong 2-1 finish at the Sun Devil Clas-
sic this past weekend. The Blue Devils (7-2) swept Butler (5-8) Friday and continued the momentum with an exciting 3-2 victory over host Arizona State (8-3) later that evening. The Blue Devils, however, fell to Notre Dame (6-4) Saturday, 3-1. The weekend was highlighted by Duke’s back-and-forth batde against Arizona State —a member of the competitive Pac-10 conference. Despite having already played earlier in the day, the Blue Devils fought for DUKE j|_ more than two hours to secure NOTRE DAME 3 the win in the five-game match. “It was a brawl out there,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “Both DUKE teams were making some great ARIZONA ST. 2 plays, both teams were hammering some balls, and either team DUKE 2 could have easily folded because both teams were going after it.” ® BUTLER Duke had to make a number ofclutch plays to pull out the victory. Tealle Hunkus sent home a crucial kill at 29-28 to win the first game. The Sun Devils responded with two straight victories of their own to lead, 2-1. The Blue Devils, however, came back with a do-or-die victory to knot the match at two and force a tie-breaking fifth game. After trading point-for-point in the fifth game, Duke called a timeout—-down 15-16 and a point away from defeat. The Blue Devils reemerged and won three straight points to clinch the match. “I really think our focus was tremendous to play throughout that match and not let things get away from us,” Nagel said. Carrie DeMange led with a match-high 21 kills to surpass the 1,000 kill mark for her career in the game. Setter Ali Hausfeld posted her fifth career triple-double, while Jenny Shull anchored the defense with 30 digs. While Duke lost to Notre Dame on Saturday after its exciting finish Friday night, Coach Nagel said that the loss is a good learning experience to prepare for the start of the ACC schedule next weekend. “We’ve got to be able to bounce back after a tough one,” Nagel said. “That’s something very significant that we’re taking away from this.” .

CROSS COUNTRY: Men and women finish Ist The men’s and women’s cross country Saturday’s James Madison Invitational with modest expectations. What they ended up getting, however, was much sweeter—a sweep. The Duke women—ranked seventh in the country —stormed to a 10-point victory. No. 24 Georgetown finished second among the five competing teams. “Our expectations were not too high,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “We wanted the girls to push themselves a little harder, and we achieved that across the board.” Emily McCabe and Maddie McKeever placed first and second, • respectively.

Shelly Forbes finished 10th, 11th and 12th,
respectively, in their first career races. The men also started the season with what head coach Norm Ogilvie called the best day for his team in several seasons. The Blue Devils tied Georgetown with 33 points in the four-team event. Under tiebreaking procedures used in the postseason, Duke would have emerged with a win. But because this was a regular-season event, it counted as a tie. “Georgetown’s 14th in the nation, so it’s not like kissing your sister,” Ogilvie said. “This was a great achievement for us.” The Hoyas got off to an early lead, but Duke patiendy chipped away at the deficit. Duke ended up placing six runners in the top 10 and nipe in the top 15. Chris Spooner led the way with a time of 25:13.90 and a third place finish. “Spooner ran a career race,” Ogilvie said. “This bodes well for his chances for going to the NCAAs as an individual.” —Joe Drews

WOMEN'S TENNIS: Team starts slow in season opener Duke fared poorly in three days of doubles and singles competition diis weekend in the Gator Invitational Tournament against players from Soudi Florida, Florida and Miami. The matches provided a good perspective for head coach Jamie Ashworth, who was waiting to see how the Blue Devils would fare after only four days of practice. “We were hoping to have a better showing across the board,” Ashworth said. “It showed that people hadn’t played matches since May. The teams we were playing against, the girls were playing all summer.” The Blue Devils found little success in doubles competition, winning just one of the nine matches. Ashworth said the team was trying out new doubles pairs after losing two seniors to graduation. Duke also struggled in singles competition against Miami and Florida, winning
just two of the 12 matches. The team rebounded Sunday, however, when they split six singles matches against South Florida. Ashworth said he did see some positives from the squad, especially the play of freshmen Elizabeth Plotkin and Amanda Granson, who both tallied wins against South Florida. “I was really impressed Wwith how they both fought,” he said. “Even against Flori. da, those two were the last on the courts .*•> fighting.

new players, whom the team will rely on more heavily this season after losing five seniors from last year’s squad. “It is exciting to see where they are and where they need to improve,” Smith said. The Blue Devils’ only two seniors, Joey Atas and No. 44 Peter Rodrigues, were less successful, losing in the first round of sin-
gles competition. “It was not a good tournament for those two,” Smith said. “They had an off week.” The pair, ranked 16th in the nation in doubles, were able to manage a win in its opening doubles match but lost in the second round. Sophomore Kiril Dimitrov and freshman Aaron Carpenter each advanced to the finals of their respective consoladon brackets, but both fell in their matches Sunday. The Blue Devils will look to rebound at the North Carolina Fall Invitational starting Sept. 29. Steve Schmulenson
