DukeMed receives S2BOM from DUHS Josh

Chapin THE CHRONICLE

Duke University Health Syshas set up a $2BO million fund to support the University’s medical and nursing schools in promoting education and research programs, officials announced Tuesday. The funds will help to bolster initiatives highlighted in a draft of the Duke University Medical Center’s strategic plan, which will be presented tem

to the Board of Trustees this weekend. The money will support a number of areas, including discovery science, translational science and health disparities research, said Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO ofDUHS. “I think that this is a commitment of Duke medicine to academic success and to the institution as a whole,” Dzau said. There has been a regular

transfer of about $2O million from the health system to the School of Medicine for several years, Provost Peter Lange said. He added that administrators decided a one-time transfer now was a logical step for the schools. “Chancellor [Dzau] and Dean [Williams] came to the conclusion to make the block transfer cover a long period of time after seeing the outstanding results in the health system,”

Lange said, referring to Dr. Sanders Williams, dean of the medical school. John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said the announcement of additional funds is timely since administrators expect the Board of Trustees will approve the strategic plan this weekend. The strategic plan is a

Groups clash over footing LDOC bill Duke gets $90,000 supplement causes high marks Union, Council disagreement in studies Wenjia Zhang THE CHRONICLE

A number of student groups have already begun to discuss this year’s Last Day of Classes celebration—and the role that an increased student activities fee will play in the event. The fee, which was approved by students April 2005, was raised $7.50 per student per semester this academic year. In total, $90,000 will be collected from the increase and used to help fund LDOC. Campus Council and Duke University Union representatives however, disagree, about whether the organizations will need to provide additional funding for the event.

Spinach ditched after E coli scare .

The Great Hall has been forced to remove spinach from its salad bar after a national E. coli threat.

Neal SenGupta THE CHRONICLE

For the time being —like much of the country —Duke will be spinach-less. As a result of nearly 100 E. coli-related hospitalizations in 26 states, the Food and Drug Administration has recommended that no one consume raw or fresh spinach. As of Tuesday evening, no cases have been reported in North Carolina. The FDA warning came last week after bags of spinach produced by two California growers were pinpointed as the source of the E. coli outbreak. Duke administrators said they reacted

immediately to the FDA recommenda-

tion and all campus dining locations have removed fresh spinach from their stocks. Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, said he first learned about the warning last week. “The night we knew about the [E. coli] outbreak, we e-mailed and called every manager and store,” Wulforst said. “By the next morning we had gotten rid ofall the spinach.” The entire process of ridding campus eateries of spinach took about 12 hours, even though spinach is used at nearly SEE E.

For months, allegations of rape surrounding the men’s lacrosse team splashed across the headlines of the country’s most prominent publications, from Newsweek to The New York Times. But according to research recently acquired by The Chronicle, most alumni and the larger public have since rebounded from the negative impact of the controversy, giving Duke an overwhelmingly positive favorability rating. Commissioned by the University’s office of public affairs, the study was drawn from two sets of data collected in late April and mid-June to analyze the effects of the controversy on public impressions of Duke. Researchers compiled data from 786 and 801 telephone interviews conducted in April and June, respectively. “The overall conclusion that we came to was that this ultimately was not an issue of Duke University’s reputation,” said Brian Hardwick, vice president for Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, the firm hired to conduct the research. The study showed that as early as late April, alumni—and to a lesser extent, the public—displayed strong approval of Duke despite the negativity of March’s mediablitz. “I must confess, I felt some sense of relief,” said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, of the earliest results 4 “On one level, you’re encouraged, and on another level, I don’t think you can ever feel, after what happened, complacent or confident.” Although there was a greater than 5 SEE ALUMNI ON PAGE 5

Report says Iraq war creating terror by

President George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping program legal status and new restrictions before the November midterm elections, dealing a significant blow fo one of the White House's top wartime priorities.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The war in Iraq has become a “cause celebre” for Islamic extremists, breeding deep resentment of the United States that probably will get worse before it gets better, federal intelligence analysts conclude in a report at odds with President George W. Bush’s portrayal of a world growing safer. In the bleak report, declassified and released Tuesday on Bush’s orders, the nation’s most veteran analysts conclude that despite serious damage to the leadership of al Qaeda, the threat from Islamic extremists has spread both in numbers and in geographic reach. Bush and his top advisers have said the formerly classified assessment of global terrorism supported their arguments that the world is safer because of the war. But more than three pages of stark judgments warning about the spread of terrorism contrasted with the administration’s glass-half-full declarations. “If this trend continues, threats to U.S. interests at home and abroad will become more diverse, leading to increasing attacks worldwide,” the document says. “The confluence of shared purpose and dispersed actors will make it harder to find and undermine jihadist groups.” The intelligence assessment, completed in April, has stirred a heated election-season argument over the course of U.S. national security in the years following the

Disease Control suggests new HIV testing policy by

Christen Tingley THE CHRONICLE

Recent recommendations by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention will likely spur increases in HIV testing throughout North Carolina and across the nation. The center urges routine HIV testing for patients between the ages of 13 and 64. The policy also calls for the elimination of lengthy pre-test counseling and for oral consent instead of written consent for testingr “It is true that increased testing may identify more patients needing treatment,” said associate medical professor Dr. Gillian Sanders. “These patients wi11... be identified earlier in their disease, which will help the effectiveness and costs of their treatment,” she added. In addition, the proposal aims to target a wide range of people by making testing more prevalent in those people’s daily lives. “HIV testing as part of routine medical care would increase awareness of HIV,” said Jennifer Ruth, a media representative for the CDC. “It is an essential step in removing the stigma [associated with the virus].”

In the past, policies largely aimed

to at-

“high-risk” populations, including those who have had unsafe sex and drug

tract

addicts. Ruth said a quarter of a million people are unknowingly affected with HIV, accounting for an average of 54 to 70 percent of “new” infections in the United States. “Ultimately, knowing one’s status is more important than pre-test counseling,” said Ron Skwieralski, a medical case manager at the nonprofit AIDS Community Health Center in Rochester, N.Y. Skwieralski added that current pre-testing procedures —which include questions and information about HIV prevention are time-consuming at the cost of more frequent testing. By incorporating tests into routine health care, the CDC recommendations suggest that HIV testing can be more openly discussed and easily implemented among all patients at risk—ultimately decreasing new cases by 30 percent. Despite positive increases in testing, some said a growth in HIV infections will likely require major changes at the state level. —

constraints behind “It’s [PWILD’s] way of responding to what happened last year,” said senior Wonjun Lee, a program director for PWILD. The idea for the retreat began after a Duke graduate and survivor of sexual assault contacted the Duke Women’s Center and PWILD in response to the lacrosse incident last spring, Lee said. Gradually, the idea for the retreat became a reality, although it is uncertain whether it will become a permanent component of PWILD. Senior Brian Wright, a PWILD program director, said although he does not have a role in the retreat itself, the retreat could be one of the “litde pieces to the solution” of the issue of sexual abuse in general.

Senior Mike Kralovec went through the traditional rush process but didn’t see himself fitting in with established organizations. “Living as an independent I felt that something was missing from my college experience, so I decided to help create a group for people like me,” he said. After more than a year of fulfilling requirements for full membership in the Interfraternity Council, the brothers of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity commemorated their new charter last weekend with a

In order to become a full-fledged fraternity with a charter, the members worked for 12 months to meet the requirements, including maintaining a minimum grade-point average, performing philanthropic work and assembling a board ofalumni to serve as advisors. SEE PI KAPP ON PAGE 6

THE CHRONICLE

The Graduate and Professional Student Council discussed jumpstarting new programs and selecting a Young Trustee screening board at its general assembly meeting Tuesday night. Julie Roy, GPSC community service chair and a student in the School ofMedicine, said students from the graduate and professional schools need to be more involved in the Durham community. “Basically, we’re trying to get GPSC community service off the ground this year,” Roy said. “We’re off to a good start.” Earlier this year, GPSC organized community service projects throughout Durham as part of its campout for basketball tickets. Roy outlined a number of goals for the new service initiative that she says will foster additional interaction between GPSC and Durham. “We want to start small, but we want to think big,” she said. “We’re trying to make ties between GPSC, undergraduates at Duke and the city around us.” During the meeting, representatives nominated and selected new committee

members who will screen and select the three Young Trustee finalists. The assembly unanimously voted Eric Vance, a fifth-year student in the Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences, to a third year as chair of the committee. In response to his selection, Vance addressed his expectations for the committee. “I do encourage a diversity of viewpoints and backgrounds on the committee,” he said. “It’s good to have different angles in asking questions and interpreting answers [of Young Trustee nominees].”

He added that the committee had a crucial job because the Young Trustee shapes the direction of Duke and serves as an additional voice of reason on the board. The council also selected six additional members to the committee; Joel Schlosser, a second-year student in political science; Gautham Pandiyan, a student in pharmacology and cancer biology; Andrew Rowell, a student in the divinity school; Ali Saaem, a student in biomedical engineering; Erin Walley, a student in the divinity school; and Betsy Holmberg a student in psychology.

Now the brothers of Pi Kapp are eager to emerge onto the fraternity scene with their fresh perspective on what it means to have a good time. Kralovec, who is president of Pi Kapp, explained his fraternity’s philosophy as “an atdtude change as opposed to an action change.” Junior Hasnain Zaidi chose to remain independent until his sophomore year. Although reluctant at first, he eventually decided to pledge Pi Kapp because of the group’s diversity, not only in race but also in personality. He describes a typical Pi Kapp brother as a guy whom “you would trust your sister with, want to date, want to hang out with, want to be best friends with or party with.” After the recent Pi Kapp chapter meeting, Zaidi knew that he would not make it back to his room before his delivery order from Grace’s Cafe arrived, so he called one of his brothers to pick it up for him. He said the brother gladly agreed to do so. “That’s brotherhood,” Zaidi said. Kralovec said the fraternity aims to add creativity to the greek scene by mixing philanthropic endeavors with a wide array of social events. Last year Pi Kapp members raised $2,000 for Push America in one week as part of their requirements for chartering. One successful event was a dunk tank at the Old Duke party. This year, Social Committee Co-Chair Joe Hejlek, a sophomore, said he hopes to create inclusive charity events for the entire campus community, such as music festivals. Kralovec plans to spend time establishing a unique reputation for the Pi Kapps in their own niche in the fraternity community.

Pi Kappa Phi made a memorable appearance at tailgate last fall prior to receiving itscharterearlier thismonth. “My goal as president is to make Pi Kappa Phi known as the fraternity that knows how to have a good time, without just paying lip service to the values to which we subscribe—character, leadership, academics, sportsmanship and service,” he wrote in an e-mail. He also said he wants the group to be able to exist successfully for years to come. “Pi Kapp will not be a typical ‘Old School’ fraternity, but will have some meaning behind it,” Zaidi added. Todd Adams, assistant dean of students for fraternity and sorority life, said the process of bringing Pi Kapp to the University began in Fall 2004 when the IFC decided it wanted to expand the number of fraternity chapters. The IFC expansion committee reviewed the documents of about 10 na-

tional fraternities, finally narrowing the number down to three. Pi Kappa Phi, Lambda Chi Alpha and Delta Upsilon representatives were then interviewed at the University. In the end, Pi Kapp was chosen because of their commitment to leadership and their national philanthropic organization, Push America, which aims to make the world more accessible for people with disabilities. “We wanted to add something new to the community,” Adams said. “When a new group does well, it raises the bar for other groups.” After IFC matched up Pi Kapp with a group of students who wanted to start a fraternity, the Pi Kapp colony was bom in Fall 2005. Duke currently has about 67 Pi Kapps, including juniors abroad.

structural outline for the medical center’s development during the next three to five years. The plan emphasizes the integration of the medical center’s three main components; the health system, the nursing school and the medical school. Dzau said the $2BO million will fund educational and research programs at the medical center during the next 10 years. Durham-based programs, including ones that address health disparities, will be at the forefront of the medical center’s agenda, he explained Dzau added that the money will allow the medical school to further its Medical Scientist Training Program, which helps to foster students’ careers as physicianscientists. “This recognizes the true synergy of the clinical and research side,” Dzau said. A portion of the funds was also designated “for continuing support of the school,” he added. Lange declined to predict whether this sum will put the University at the top of national medical center rankings. “It puts the School of Medicine in a far better position to implement its quite ambitious strategic plan,” Lange said. “Right now we are the fourth- or fifth-best medical school. Does this mean that it will be the third best? I don’t know because rankings don’t capture anything.” Bumess also emphasized the long-term benefits of the gift. “This is a very strong statement at a time when [dollars] from the federal government are getting tighter and tighter,” Burness said. “We do these things, building on areas where we are very strong. If you do the right things, it takes care ofitself.”

Survivors of sexual assault, male and female, can benefit from the many services and support systems of the Women’s Center, said senior Avery Resor, a Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention peer educator. “The biggest thing is tapping into those resources,” Resor said. “Everyone just has to take responsibility.” Participants in the retreat will be accepted on a first come, first-serve basis. The deadline for registering is Sept. 30,

HIV from page 3 Several North Carolina healthcare providers noted it is unlikely the current systems of HIV funding will be able to accommodate an increased demand for anti-retroviral drugs. “The number of people vying for Ryan White funds will increase—this policy will create a financial burden in North Carolina,” said Eloise Hicks, director of the NC Regional HIV/AIDS Consortium. Hicks added that overworked HIV case managers and long waiting periods for state and federal allocations to receive medical care indicate a lack of preparedness to treat cases in North Carolina. Proponents of state and federal funding of HIV and AIDS medications for those with low incomes—primarily through the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act—have in the past bemoaned stringent requirements for assistance at the state level and limited funding from the federal government. “It is an ethical concern,” said senior Sarah Rutstein, director of “Know Your Status” at Duke—which offers students free HIV testing. “The link between testing and healthcare in North Carolina needs to be developed,” she added.

every campus eating location, Wulforst said. “We wanted to get it taken care of fast and efficiently,” he said. “We are waiting for word from the FDA before we start allowing it to be used again.” The administration has not adopted any special plans to deal with the potential health problems besides the standard guidelines. “We are maintaining our usual level of alertness,” said Jean Hanson, assistant director of the Student Health Center. “We see many [gastrointestinal] problems anyway and we are on the alert for symptoms.” E. coli can cause severe health problems such as meningitis and types of pneumonia. There has been one reported fatality caused by this outbreak. Both Hanson and Wulforst said they do not know of any E. coli-related illnesses on the Duke campus. Many campus locations use spinach in multiple items and have been forced to offer a more limited menu. The Marketplace and the Great Hall both stopped of-

faring spinach in their salad bars, and Alpine Bagels in the West Union Building has also gotten rid of fresh and raw spinach products. Thousands of students go through both locations every day. Willie Stewart, Alpine shift manager, said the eatery quickly adopted the no-spinach policy. “We got everything taken care of right away,” she said. “As soon as we heard what was going on with it, we threw out all [the spinach] we had.” Stewart said one spinach product —the spinach bagel is still available at the store, but the spinach used in the bagel is not made from raw spinach, so it is safe to eat. Some of Alpine’s salads—among the venue’s most popular items—have been temporarily discontinued because they contain spinach. ifhe Loop and the Great Hall have also changed some pasta and salad dishes that use spinach or mixed greens. Stewart said students, for the most part, understand the problems caused by the E. coli outbreak, despite the inconvenience. “Most students are very nice about it,” she said. “They just order something else instead for now.” —

LDOC

from page 1

Ganatra, a senior, said the two organizations should supplement the student activities sum with their own funds. “Once the fee went into effect, the assumption for us was that it’s going to remain a collaborative event,” he said. He added that Campus Council has worked with the Union to host LDOC for the past two years. Union President Alex Apple, a senior, said the increase in die student activities fee was designed to help reduce funding burdens on the groups and should be the primary source offinancial support for LDOC. “It creates an account for the event,” Apple said. “We’ll start with the amount that we have and go from there.” Last year, Campus Council and the Union put forth $BO,OOO toward LDOC, contributing $60,000 and $20,000, respectively, to bring Custer, Rahzel and Matt Costa to perform. If the groups do not provide additional funding this year, there will only be a $lO,OOO increase in the total budget, Ganatra said, adding that this would not be a significant increase for an event of LDOC’s size. “There is no need to charge extra if we’re not going to give [students] a better activity,” Ganatra said. He added that he wants a minimum of $120,000 allocated to LDOC this year, adding that Campus Council will definitely be putting in more money—up to $40,000 depending on the Union’s decision. “If [the Union] doesn’t put in more money, then the question is why would it still be. a Union and Campus Council event?” he said, adding that he hopes the Union will help financially because it has a bigger budget than Campus Council.

A very large crowd turned out for Last Day ofClasses 2005. Campus Council hopes to bring a big-name band to Duke this year,but funding issues may prevent it.

Apple said the Union contributed to LDOC in the past, knowing that an independent fund for the event would be put in place soon. “We chipped in to get to the point where the added fee will be implemented,” he said. Ganatra said that ifLDOC were funded solely by the increase in student activities fees, however, then it would be as if only the students were paying for the event. “We promised to give students a better product,” he said. “As the elected leaders we should be doing what we said.” In the past, many students have com-

—

plained about the bands present at LDOC compared to those at other universities’ end-of-year festivities.

If a total of $120,000 can be allocated toward LDOC, the funds will bring the celebration to a new level, Ganatra said. ‘We’ll be able to afford an $BO,OOO band,” he said. This new LDOC potentially includes “two Guster-type bands, an opener and daytime entertainment,” he said. He noted that no daytime entertainment could be provided for students last year because of limited funding. Improving the quality ofLDOC might

also help to make the event safer for students, Ganatra said. “If we give them this amazing band they really want to see, it is less likely that they will get drunk,” he said. “If they really want to see it, they’ve got to make sure they’re awake for it,” Ganatra added. The chair for the LDOC committee will be elected by mid-October, Ganatra said, adding that the funding issue needs to be settled before the committee can begin planning the event.“They can’t do anything unless they know how much money they can work with,” Ganatra said.

During the ebb and flow of the college football season, a week off can provide a beneficial respite, allowing a team to refocus, recover and relax.

MICHAEL CHANG/THE CHRONICLE

Sophomore point guard Greg Paulus will serve as one ofDuke's three captains for the upcoming year.

Breaking with tradition Duke’s disappointing loss to LSI) in the Adanta Regional semifinals marked more than just the end of the 2005-2006 season. It marked the end of an era. Six seniors graduated, leaving this year’s 12-man roster with four freshmen and six sophomores. And while a lot of people around here are nervous about Cjk Duke’s immediate future, this massive turnover in person—^ nel may prove to be meredith exacdy what the Blue Devils need to get what they really want—a fourth national championship. For as much as J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams were the poster children for Duke basketball in their tenures here, they also fell (heartbreakingly and consistently) short of that elusive NCAA title. Cue the newest and youngest-ever captains of your 2006-2007 Blue Devils— Greg Paulus and Josh Mcßoberts. Why did Coach K break 101 years of Duke tradition by naming two sophomores as captains of his illustrious squad, you ask? The cynical, and perhaps most practical, answer is-because there is no scholarship senior on the roster and DeMarcus Nelson, the third captain, is the team’s only junior. But the optimistic answer is that __

The Blue Devils used their bye week for just those purposes, with the hope that the week off will prove to be the turning point of their 0-3 season. “We gave them a couple days off at the beginning of the [bye] week,” head coach Ted Roof said. “They were able to kind ofrecharge their battery a little bit and get a fresh start.” After Duke suffered its' second shutout loss of the season to Virginia Tech, 38-0, Sept. 16, the team left Blacksburg, Va. full of uncertainties on both sides of the ball. Yet instead of beginning to prepare right away for Virginia, which Duke plays Saturday at noon, Roof spent the first few days of the bye week evaluating his team’s play so far this season, trying to find where his players have excelled and where they need improvement. “As coaches, we did a lot of self-assessment or self-scouting, looking at exactly what we’re doing well and the areas we are performing well and the areas we weren’t performing well,” Roof said. Roof said the passing game and run defense were among the more noticeable improvements. In their first three games, the Blue Devils have averaged more than 60 more passing yards per game than they did in 2005. Duke also has held its opponents to 100 fewer yards per game on the ground compared to last season. The running game and pass defense,

The Blue Devils took time to reevaluate themselves before beginning preparation for the Virginia game. however, have not been as stellar, as Duke has averaged a mere 57 yards on the ground and has given up an average of 223 yards per game through the air. While Roofand the rest of the coaching staff were assessing their team, the players had a couple of days off to recover from

This is Hausfeld’s second career Player of the Week award, also winning in October of 2005. Three ACC teams ranked With Boston College’s loss to NC State dropping the Eagles out of the Associated Press Top 25, the ACC is now represented by Virginia Tech, Clemson and Florida State in the national rankings. Boston College’s fall from the top 25 in Week 5 follows Miami’s in Week 4 and furthers a trend of the ACC’s devolving presence in national polls. Undefeated and unranked Wake Forest received 12 votes in the recent poll while Clemson toggled positions with traditional powerhouse Florida State.

DICKINSON

from page 11

Dickinson’s traveling experiences helped smooth an often difficult transition. “It definitely made it easier,” Dickinson said. “I’ve lived in a number of places that have had completely different social ways of life and cultures, so coming down here wasn’t a huge deal.” Dickinson exploded onto the scene, notching a hat trick in her first collegiate game. She finished her freshman season fourth on the team in points, and head coach Beth Bozman said she fit in with a senior-laden squad that featured Katie Grant and Nicole Dudek, two ofDuke’s top four all-time leading scorers. “She’s a very smart player, she really knows the game, and that makes her easy to play with,” Bozman said. “She really knows where to move and how to score, and I think the seniors appreciated that.” Despite her initial success on the field, Dickinson said she did have difficulty balancing her athletics with her pursuit of an engineering degree. As one ofjust two players in Pratt, she often has to rush from labs to practice. But she said she has become more comfortable with the situation this year. “In terms of academics, social, field hockey—the whole deal —sophomore year is eight times better than freshman year,” she said. The change has been most obvious on the field, where Dickinson has excelled in leading the Blue Devils’ now-young front line. The sophomore has 11 goals through just nine games and leads the ACC in both points and goals per game. “What really helped her was training with the Canadian national team this summer,” Bozman said. “That gave her a lot of confidence, and just getting a full year under her belt at the college level helped

Coach G names 2006-07 captains Seniors Lindsey Harding and Alison Bales were elected by their teammates to be cocaptains of the women’s basketball team for the 2006-2007 season, head coach Gail Goestenkors announced Tuesday. “I am really excited about the leadership of our seniors, and I think it is only appropriate that their teammates voted them captains,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Both Alison and Lindsey are great players, leaders and have had tremendous experiences here. I think having both of them as co-captains will be excellent for this year’s team because they lead in totally different ways.” Harding, a 5-foot-8 point guard, won ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors last season and, with 210 career steals, ranks seventh all-time in steals at Duke. She also averaged a careerbest 10.7 points and 4.5 assists in a season when Duke lost in the NCAA tide game. “[Lindsey] is the one who really runs the show as well as knows what I want and need on the floor at all times,” Goestenkors said. Bales, who was named as the Bridgeport Regional MVP and garnered NCAA Final Four All-

FOOTBALL

Although Roof focused mosdy on his bye week, he did not dismiss the upcoming game against Virginia. And with the day off from playing last Saturday, Roof also benefited from the unusual opportunity to watch other college football teams play on television. ‘You remember when you are a young player, and you just watch a game,” Roof said. “When you are a coach, you look at the scheme or just the deal of what happened there.” Roof watched and evaluated Virginia in its game against Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets won 24-7, but the Cavaliers held the GeorgiaTech offense to seven points in the second half. “Statistically, there are a lot of similarities,” Roof said of the matchup between Duke and Virginia. “They had a lot better second half, and they have always been a physical football team.”

team during the

Thaddeus Lewis sustained a concussion in the game. The week off, however, gave Drummer a few days off from practice to continue to heal—Roof said the probability of Drummer playing this weekend is 50 percent and allowed Duke to evaluate the extent of Lewis’ concussion. The medical staff determined it was only minor, and Lewis should be able to play Saturday. But even the players without specific injuries benefited from the extra rest afforded by the bye week. “We had a couple days off last week that we wouldn’t normally have,” senior defensive end Eli Nichols said. “Personally, I feel like some of the aches and pains and the other little things have gone away. It is a definite benefit for us.” —

maybe this team is ready for a new look and a new attitude, and that Paulus and Mcßoberts can bring both. It’s not like either of them were benchwarmers last year and are suddenly being thrown into positions of leadership. Mcßoberts was named to the ACC AllFreshman team and ACC All-Tournament second team in his first season as a Blue Devil. Paulus clocked 1,163 minutes last year more than Sean Dockery (1,069) and Lee Melchionni (717), two oflast year’s captains. He also was one of only four players in the history of the ACC to lead the conference in assists as a freshman. Being named as an official captain just seems like a natural progression from the leadership role Paulus gave himself lastyear through solid, smart play on the court. “It’s an opportunity for me to share what I like to do. I like to lead. I like to be in control,” Paulus said. “It would be great to have more experience, but this is an opportunity for [me and Josh] to come back to show what we’ve learned and how we’ve developed and bring the freshman along with us—because they’re

so close in age.” This closeness in age, combined with a lack of true veterans, is what makes this team so unique. The freshmen and sophomores have the chance to grow together through their time here. Without Redick and Williams taking the vast majority of Duke’s shots—s2.4 percent to be exact —this new, sophomore-led team will finally be able to develop its own character. It also won’t have to deal with the intense media scrutiny J.J.,

in particular, brought. With room to reinvent itself itself on offense, Duke can emerge as a faster and more athletic squad. And it likely won’t struggle against teams like Florida State teams deep in athletes, but not necessarily in basketball players. “We haven’t demonstrated what kind of success we can have—or we can’t have,” Paulus said. That’s the beauty of starting anew. When last year’s seniors left, they told the sophomores to keep working hard and carry on the tradition ofDuke basketball. The best part of this season is that the players who will be most responsible carrying on the Duke tradition have already proven themselves strong enough to break with it. —

transform the institutional advantages of Duke into a cultural acceptance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Like on all campuses across the nation, Duke’s LGBT community faces a certain cultural discrimination. But as a prominent southern university, especially in the face of recent events, Duke must lead the way to show the world that equality is not a utopian ideal, but an end to which we should aspire. Duke University has done its part to provide the institutional framework for an active gay community and an accepting environment. Now it is our turn to create a culture of equality. to

of Duke

Chapel over the trees. Now there’s a heart everyone can be proud of.

History teaches us so. In medieval times, the cathedral was the literal and figurative center of town. It was a life marker; Baptisms, marriages and funerals took place within its walls. The community met there, and the market was located there. During times of uncertainty—say, a plague or famine—people took comfort together at the cathedral. Carolingian cathedral architecture even boasts a common Western fagade called a “Westwork” which was modeled like a militarily defensible wall to ward off invaders. The cathedral was where the community united in joy and in struggle. The Duke Chapel is a centerpiece that we depend on without ever fully realizing it. How many times have you given directions with reference to the Chapel? When you notice the architecture in the sunshine on your way to class, don’t you feel a twinge of pride that you go to Duke University? On pleasant days, you study in its shade. You meet your friends on its steps when you can’t decide where to eat. The bells at 5 p.m. are a daily reminder that the Chapel still stands. It is easily the most identifiable building on campus, built at the highest point on University property, and, by decree, no building at Duke will ever surpass its height. It serves as our Duke life marker. As freshmen,

we are formally invited to join the University community at Convocation. Our academic ceremonies take place there—we celebrate the joys of our world within its walls. On weekends all year long, the Chapel hosts weddings, and on occasion, funerals and memorial services. In perhaps the greatest testimony to its role: It houses a crypt that is a final resting place for members of the Duke family. A few weeks ago, the flags in memory of Sept. 11 were placed on the Chapel quad. Vigils are held at the Chapel for wars, deaths and social issues. During Vietnam, at a fractured time for the country and the community, the Chapel helped us heal. Students gathered on the quad to protest, and President Terry Sanford invited students inside the Chapel to talk. Little has changed: In the wake of the lacrosse incident, vigils and an open town hall meeting were held inside the Chapel for both the Duke and Durham communities. It is our meeting place during turbulent times, and we seek solace in its walls, resolute and unmoving. The stewardship of the Chapel has rested with the Deans, and they have balanced well their roles as men of God and as spiritual ombudsmen of University life. They too offer comfort in times of trial and appeal to our better angels. In the early 19905, Dean William Willimon took it upon himself to fully understand undergraduate life. He attended parties, spoke to students one on one, and shared in the sweat and agony and joy of being a Duke student. Current Dean, Sam Wells, has already offered wisdom, with his weekly sermons challenging and engaging us all to think differently about God and our roles in the world. Just as the cathedral was the center of life in the medieval town, so the Duke Chapel is both physically and figuratively the center of Duke University. Its blend of spirit, history and tradition cements its place at the heart of Duke student life. Let us not forget the real heart of the university, even as we enjoy the newness of the Plaza. Besides, I’d take the cool stone of the Chapel over those misters any day—wouldn’t you?

letterstotheeditor Professors’ remarks reflect philosophical divide As a Duke graduate and current Duke law student, I fully understand how important it is to maintain our University as, first and foremost, an educational institution. Furthermore, I am entirely unsurprised that a small, yet vocal, minority of Duke’s faculty have mocked Professor Paul Haagen’s “Faculty Athletics Associates Program,” a program thatseeks to increase the connection and understanding between Duke coaches and faculty about their respective spheres at Duke. If the snide comments of Professors Fred Nijhout and Richard Hain were merely indicative of an opportunistic cannibalism of two professors capitalizing on the unfortunate men’s lacrosse situation that we all have lived through, it would be manageable. I am afraid, though, that the parody authored by Professors Nijhout and Hain represents a deep philosophical divide that is informed as much by their athletic ignorance as it is by their academic arrogance. I applaud Professor Haagen’s attempt to bridge this philosophical divide. Although his plan is certainly not an exhaustive remedy to an admittedly complex problem, it is first and foremost a constructive attempt at moving the ball in the right direction. I wish that I could say the same about the actions and comments of Professors Nijhout and Hain. The one problem I foresee, of course, is that the individuals who are most in need of the education that this program seeks to provide are the ones who are least likely to voluntarily participate. I challenge Professors Nijhout and Hain to participate in the “Faculty Athletics Associate Program.” You never know—you might learn something. Vincent Asaro Trinity ’O4, Law ’O7

DUU, WXDU clarification

On Thursday, Sept 14th, a “Letter to the Editor” ran Chronicle describing an unfortunate incident on The in the Plaza involving DUU’s All Campus Entertainment andWXDU (“Racially charged incident unfortunate”). A few necessary points of clarification have resulted from the publication of this letter: First, all parties present agree that the ACE representative’s actions were not “racially motivated” or intentionally disrespectful. Further, both committees were victims of miscommunication and poor scheduling, and each committee may

have engaged in potentially unprofessional behaviors as a result. All Campus Entertainment, WXDU and the Duke University Union stand firm and committed to the mission of uniting Duke University and Durham community members through enriching programming and collaborative opportunities. DUU is taking all measures to ensure miscommunication like this does not happen again. Alexander Apple President, Duke University Union Trinity ’O7 ..
