In response to the disruption caused by media presence on campus last spring, the University has revised its policies for media access to campus, the Office of News and Communications announced Friday. Among the changes implemented, television crews must now request and gain permission from ONC or the Medical Center News Office before setting up cameras and broadcasting live from campus. “We learned from the experience last spring,” said David Jarmul, associate vice president of news and communication. “We’re especially concerned about TV cameras, and students feeling like they couldn’t walk across the quad without a camera stuck in their face.” The revised guidelines'" state that media will be required to park in designated areas and will not be allowed to enter residence halls except under rare circumstances with advance permission.

The University also reserves the right to grant broadcast media on-campus access only in designated areas, likely in

E-mails exchanged last week between junior Elliott Wolf, Duke Student Government president, and Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, offer a behind-the-scenes look into the dynamic between two of the University’s most talked-about leaders. Although the two seem chummy—signing e-mails as “Larry” and “E” —the correspondence reveals a number of disagreements. —

Bush pledges to keep troops in Iraq by

Anne Plummer Flaherty THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush told Iraq’s prime minister on Monday he has no plans to pull U.S. forces out of the war-tom country, in a conversation that underscored Iraqi worries that the president is being pressured to curtail America’s role in the widely unpopular war. In a 15-minute morning phone call, Bush told Nouri al-Maliki that rumors of a withdrawal of troops in two months were untrue and that the United States would stand strong with its new ally. But even as Bush reassured al-Maliki, he is having to confront growing doubts among Republi-

cans in Congress about his war policies. A small but growing group of GOP lawmakers, including Senate Armed Services Committee Chair John Warner, R-Va., have suggested a change in course may be necessary. Warner could provide political cover for other GOP members to challenge Bush on Iraq because he is normally a Bush loyalist and a respected leader on national security issues. Also providing ammunition for lawmakers unhappy over Iraq—and potential political cover—should be recommendations expected by an independent commission after next month’s congressional elections. Former GOP Secretary of State James

Baker, a leader of that panel, has said the group will recommend options for changing in course in Iraq. Leon Panetta, a member of the panel and President Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, said the panel hopes to present Congress its findings by January. Among the options being considered are whether to set a timetable for withdrawal and whether to solicit help from Iran and Syria to stop the fighting, but “the study group has made no decisions,” he said. By then, there could be enough Republican defections to produce the biggest SEE

U.N. hits deadlock on Council vote by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS Venezuela and Guatemala hit a deadlock Monday in their battle for a seat on the powerful U.N. Security Council, after 10 rounds of voting failed to anoint a winner to fill the spot reserved for Latin America. Guatemala led in nine of the 10 ballots, but could not get the two-thirds majority necessary to win. Nonetheless, the results were a defeat for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who had campaigned by railing against the United States and promised to use his nation’s voice on the 15-

member council to counter Washington’s influence. The other four seats that will come open on the council were filled easily. South Africa, Indonesia, Italy and Belgium will start their terms on the council on Jan. 1, replacing Tanzania, Japan, Denmark and Greece. Neither Venezuela nor Guatemala appeared willing to drop out of the election, which resumes on Wednesday with another round of balloting. Venezuela’s U.N. Ambassador Francisco Arias Cardenas complained the United States has pressured countries worldwide to prevent

Venezuela from winning the two-year rotating seat. “Venezuela will not withdraw—we’re fighting until the end,” Cardenas said. “We are fighting against the first power of the world, the owners of the universe. We’re happy, we’re strong and. we will continue.” The voting pattern fluctuated through the day. In the early rounds, Guatemala got 116 votes and Venezuela just 70. Then, in the sixth round of voting, they tied at 93 each. On the last vote, Guatemalaled again,

CITY COUNCIL

Council discusses Durham crime BY

COSETTE WONG THE CHRONICLE

Durham City Council members discussed the city’s crime at their meeting Monday night, centering their attention on the second-quarter crime report presented by Durham Police Department Chief Steve Chalmers. Although the report stated that the number of homicides in Durham was at its lowest total in four years, Council members broached the issue of repeat offenders in light of Monday’s indictment of a suspect charged with a quadruple homicide that occurred Nov. 19, 2005. Repeat offenses have triggered a “revolving door’’ problem in Durham, in which criminals leave the court system only to return, said Council member Thomas Stith. Council member Eugene Brown referred to it as a bail-bond issue, noting that bail—even if it is high—is often not much of a hindrance in preventing multiple crimes. “If you’re a ‘good customer’ with the bail bondsman, that monetary amount is meaningless,” Brown said. He added that less than two weeks ago in Durham an individual —wl\o had been arrested 100 times before—was arrested for killing a woman. Mayor Pro Tempore Cora Cole-McFadden said she hoped the public understands the Council has no control over the court system, but repeat offenses nonetheless need to be addressed. “We need to put pressure on the legislature [to change this problem],” she said. Chalmers said DPD has a list of Durham’s top-10 repeat offenders and hopes to lower the rate of violent crimes, which is at its highest level in four years.

Duke unveils new post-doc fellowship The University has established the Samuel Dußois Cook Postdoctoral Fellowship for students in the social sciences studying race, ethnicity and gender, officials announced Monday. The one-year fellowship provides a $40,000 stipend and an opportunity to teach a course, in addition to writing and doing research regarding the fellowship’s three themes. “It is especially fitting that this new fellowship is named for Samuel Dußois Cook, whose own life as a scholar, university administrator and civil rights activist has been a model for future generations of social science leaders,” President Richard Brodhead said in a statement.

Cook was the first black professor at Duke and the first African American to hold a regular faculty appointment at a predominantly white college or university in the South. City Council members discuss issues mainly relating to crime at their meeting Monday night. The Council also discussed at length a recent statement from another jurisdiction that criminals from Durham were moving to other areas of the state. Durham resident Victoria Peterson changed the tone of die discussion by bringing up Sunday’s “60 Minutes” episode, in which the three indicted members of die 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team gave their first public interview and proclaimed their innocence. She said she hopes the Council will “at least write a letter to [CBS]” because of die bias she saw in the episode, which supported only the defendants’ side. “For [Mayor] Bill Bell and Cole-McFadden to allow [CBS] to do that story really concerns me,” she said, adding that women

who have been sexually assaulted are often reluctant to go to authorities because of the potential for being misconceived. “This is why they don’t go public,” Peterson said. “They are treated like trash.”

In other business: A resolution requesting an immigration court in the state was passed 7-0. Council member Patrick Baker discussed a report dealing with the “mistakes” the Council made in failing to prevent a recent yard waste fire on East Club Boulevard. The meeting also commemorated the “untold valor and courage” of Durham’s naval forces, in light of Durham’s currently ongoing Navy week.

Duke Police officers spoke to the resident of the room and his friends and found a small bag of green leafy material in the room. The student was not charged with possession of marijuana.

Laptop, accessories stolen from Lilly A student reported that she left her Apple laptop computer, power cord, Bose head phones and laptop case unattended from 5:30 p.m. to 5:50 p.m. Oct. 10 in Lilly Library. When she returned, all ofher possessions were missing. The student said sh<e saw a suspicious college-aged man in the area wearing a yellow shirt, but she did not report his presence to anyone until her laptop was stolen. Computer cluster monitor snatched An employee reported Oct. 12 that someone stole a computer monitor from the Crowell House G computer cluster. The suspect pried a 17-inch Dell flat screen monitor from it’s security cable. Drunk student causes disturbance Duke Police Department officers responded to complaints Oct. 12 that an individual was knocking on many apartment doors, yelling at residents and creating a disturbance near Lewis Street at approximately 3 a.m. Officers located the offender who was an intoxicated student. He was given a verbal warning and taken back to his apartment on Central Campus.

Cars burglarized, CD players taken An employee and another individual reported Oct. 12 that their Honda Accords were broken into overnight. Both cars were parked in Parking Garage 2 at the Duke University Medical Center. In both cases, a small gap was created between the window and the molding so that the electric locks could be opened. One car was missing a Sony CD player and the other was missing a Panasonic CD player.

of situation that we faced this past spring,” he said. “We can use the new guidelines to strike a balance between the openness with the news media and the reasonable expectation of privacy among Duke students and others in the Duke community,” he added. Jarmul said permission to broadcast live from campus will likely be granted routinely to news agencies, but there may be dmes when media access will need to be restricted. Local news agencies that have broadcast live from campus in the past said the changes will likely not alter their coverage of on-campus issues. “As far as I know, I don’t think it really will affect us,” said Tyree Barnette, weekday nightside assignment editor at News 14 Carolina. “We usually try to get private permission anyway.... At the very least we called the school as we got information about the ongoing case and told them we would be going live.” Burness added that the changes were

not being implemented now specifically in anticipation of higher levels of media at-

tention in the near future, though he said the University will “evoke the policy in a very common-sense way” if the lacrosse case goes to trial. “So long as the lacrosse story continues, there is a possibility that the media interest on campus could ramp up again,” Jarmul said. “What we’re saying with this policy is that when the situation warrants, we may take these steps,” he added. In addition to rules regulating broadcast media, guidelines have also been established in which print and radio media may also have limited access to campus, though generally they will not have to gain advance permission to report on campus. In addition, all news media representatives must now obtain permission before entering classrooms, medical facilities or laboratories to report. The policy also states The Chronicle may receive special access from ONC to information or events because of its unique role as a student-run newspaper. Adam Eaglin contributed to this story.

SECURITY COUNCIL with 110 to Venezuela’s 77. That was still short of the 125 needed to win Diplomats said Chavez may have hurt his nation’s chances with a bombastic speech at the General Assembly debate in September, when he railed against the United States and called President George W. Bush “the devil”—a speech criticized even by U.S. politicians who had reached out to Chavez. Yet the vote also reflected the ambivalence toward Guatemala, the preferred American candidate. Even Guatemalan Foreign Minister Gert Rosenthal had earlier expressed discomfort about the highly public American campaign against Venezuela and in support of Guatemala. After the voting ended Monday, Rosenthal said his nation was an “independent voice” that would vote according to its own policies. “We are an independent country and frankly we resent it a bit being told we are going to toe the line of not

only the United States but any other power,” Rosenthal said. “We make our own decisions.” Diplomats said it was far too early to think of a com-

After that, Latin American states could agree to put forward a new candidate—but only if the other two agree to step down. Rosenthal acknowledged that the deadlock could not last forever. “If this goes on for several days and we can see that there’s no movement in either of the candidates being able to get two-thirds of the vote, we probably would have to think of a third consensus candidate for the region,” Rosenthal said. “But we think the time hasn’t come for that yet.” seat occurred in

Oct. 10, during Fall Break, Wolf wrote in a 270-word email that he “heard through the grapevine” that Moneta had nixed the beer bar. Wolf copied his e-mail to several top administrators including President Richard Brodhead, the members of the Campus Culture Initiative, Campus Council President Jay Ganatra, a senior, and The Chronicle. Less than three hours later, Moneta responded with 79 words defending the decision to all who were copied on Wolf s letter. Wolf and other sources have said Moneta vetoed the plans. In his e-mail, Moneta did not deny that he was behind the decision to get rid of the beer bar. “I am totally in favor of campus bars in the Bryan Center and West Union, and continue to press Duke Dining to expand these options there,” Moneta said. “[Tommy’s] location amidst undergraduate housing where hardly anyone is of legal drinking age makes it the least appropriate option,” Moneta added. In an e-mail later that day, Wolf responded to Moneta’s suggestions, noting that at certain points of the year up to 30 percent of students living near McClendon Tower are of legal drinking age. “The figure of students of legal drinking age residing on-campus far exceeds ‘hardly anyone,’” Wolf wrote. He also rebutted Moneta’s alternative plans. “Fd venture a guess that the vast majority of people who hang out in the West Union or BC at night are undergraduates anyway,” Wolf wrote. “As a late-night hangout/bar, a bar in Tommy’s would be almost exactly the same.” Wolf described a bar at Tommy’s as “the perfect opportunity to help fill a major void that exists on campus,” and noted that the new Central Campus plans call for a bar integrated into the residential space. Moneta responded nine minutes later with a 63-word e-mail, writing that Central will house predominantly seniors, “thus, having bars there makes great sense.” “McClendon will provide beer and wine, but should not have alcohol as its primary feature,” Moneta wrote. “I reiterate that the place for bars is in the West Union and Bryan Center.” Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst told The Chronicle last week that the Bryan Center had been rejected by Alcohol Law Enforcement as a location for an additional bar and said he was unaware of any space in the West Union Building large enough for one. Wolf responded to Moneta with a final 266-word e-mail Oct. 11, writing that Moneta was exaggerating the bar’s

impact.

“The ‘bar’ wouldn’t seat more than a few people at a time and is clearly not the ‘primary feature’ of the establishment,” Wolf wrote. He insisted that the McClendon Tower location was not an issue “Do you have any real evidence or data to support the notion that those patronizing the WU/BC would be any different than those who would be living around Tommy’s? (I’ll revert to my math and assume the null hypothesis otherwise)Wolf wrote. He concluded with another question. “At the end of the day, the bartenders will be carding and there will be ALE inspections,” Wolf wrote. “I reiterate —if Tom Meyer and Dining Services are willing to take the risk of losing the liquor license and/or not having enough patrons to turn a profit on the bar, why not let them?”

wide variety of career fields.” During the presentation, which was moderated by Curran, Eddy described the long list of career fields he has already tackled, including consulting, teaching, student affairs, running his own business, performing as a stuntman and, most recently, acting. Eddy noted that students face many obstacles in career selection. He mentioned his own parents’ negative reaction when he decided to give up his lucrative consulting job and noted his anxiety in revealing the ambition he harbored for many years of becoming a stuntman. “It’s kind of scary to let people know what you want to do when it’s not normal,” Eddy said. He encouraged students to take advantage of all of the University’s resources in order to find their passions. “Get involved in anything you might possibly want to d0.... Have joy in your life and joy in your work and not in the paycheck.” Sophomore Smart Moves Day marked the first major event sponsored by the Second Year Coalition. The group of faculty, students and staff was designed to

provide resources to sophomores as they make the transition from their first year and begin to face major decisions, said Joe Gonzalez, associate dean for residence life, who heads the organization. The coalition approached the Junior Panhellenic Council, which helped organize the activities, said sophomore Ruthie Chen, a member of Junior Panhel. “We’re very pleased with the program that was put together,” Gonzalez said, noting, however, that he would like to see a greater number of students in attendance at future events. Members of the coalition estimated that 75 sophomores attended the various presentations. Those students who came praised the initiative. “It’s really good that they’re trying to get the information out there, so there is one source for students to go to,” said sophomore Lindsay Adkin, a member of the coalition. Sophomore Michelle Culp said she attended Eddy’s presentation because she was motivated by Curran’s and Greenwald’s book. “A lot of sophomores have the idea that you have to decide everything right now,” Culp said. ‘You don’t have to absolutely have all the answers right from the start.”

challenge yet by Congress to Bush’s policy in Iraq. “The war is a 100-pound albatross hanging on the necks of Republicans,” said Norman Ornstein, a political scholar with the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. A spike in American casualties in Iraq in recent weeks, as ethnic violence there spirals ever more out of control, has only served to increase the likelihood that Republicans will increasingly question Bush’s policies in the war. At least 58 Americans have died there in the first two weeks of October, a pace that, if continued, would make the month the worst for coalition forces since 107 U.S. soldiers died in January 2005. According to polls, Bush’s support on Iraq among Republicans is soft. While three-fourths of Republicans say they approve of his handling of the war, fewer than half say they strongly approve and three in 10 either have mixed feelings or disapprove. In contrast, three out of four Democrats disapprove strongly, according to AP-Ipsos polling. Political experts see next month’s elections as a turning point in Congress’ oversight of the war, because it may be read as a litmus test for voters’ support of Bush. GOP lawmakers will be more likely to challenge the president’s policies on the war if they win by a slim margin or are forced to hand control to Democrats.

“The American people are not going to continue to support, sustain a policy that puts American troops in the middle of a civil war.” Chuck Hagel GOP Senator, Nebraska

Concerned U.S. support was faltering, Al-Maliki told Bush “that rumors sometimes can undercut confidence in the government and also its ability to work effectively in fighting terror,” said Bush spokesperson Tony Snow. “And the president said, ‘Don’t worry, you still have our full support,’” he added. Warner recently returned from a trip to the region and immediately told reporters that the war was “drifting sideways,” with little progress being made. Warner said he would wait two to three months—until after the elections—to see if the situation could be turned around before suggesting a change in course. Warner has found support from other Republicans including Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, a possible 2008 presidential contender and frequent maverick, as well as Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and several House Republicans. Taking a different tack, Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham ofSouth Carolina and John McCain ofArizona have challenged Bush’s assertion that the size of the Army is adequate. The two senators say they support boosting the number of troops to reduce the strain on units repeatedly sent into combat. “The American people are not going to continue to support, sustain a policy that puts American troops in the middle of a civil war,” Hagel said Sunday on CNN’s “Late Edition.” Despite recent noise from Hagel and others, Bush counselor Dan Bartlett said the White House has not detected a loss of Republican support for Bush’s Iraq policy. “The vast majority of Republicans understand the stakes in Iraq and want to win,” he said. Political experts say Republicans do not want to alienate their major support base—staunch GOP voters loyal to Bush. But at the same time, more GOP members could call for changes to the nation’s war policies after the Baker panel releases its results. Democrats long have urged a change in Iraq policy. Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, the leading Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said there is “no military solution to this conflict” and the United States must pressure Iraqis to take over their country. —

THE CHRONICLE

On Saturday, Florida State gave Duke a swirlie—and Blue Devil head coach Ted Roof apparently didn’t care. You’re all familiar with the concept of a swirlie, right? For the home-schooled, it’s the middle school gag where the 250pound bully lifts up the 98-pound dweeb, |B| dips his head in the toilet and flushes. Before the Blue —7-^ eX Devils’ swirlie, the *^ id 11 dTOT■ Seminoles snapped Duke Football’s cokebottle-bottom glasses in half and ran the team’s underpants up the flagpole. Then, jyith 6:18 left in the game (all but about 71 people had left by then, don’t feel bad if you missed it), FSU gave Duke the swirlie. Facing 4th and four from the Duke 14-yard-line and leading 44-17, Seminole head coach Bobby Bowden decided to keep his offense on the field instead ofkiclang the field goal. The game was over at that point Florida State’s win was assured. Of course, the Seminoles scored on the fourth-down play, making the score 51-17. And Duke walked out of the bathroom with toilet water dripping from its hair. If I’m Roof, at about the time that Bowden keeps his offense on the field, I haul my former All-ACC linebacker self over to the Florida State sideline and slam the old man into the ground so hard that he breaks his 70-some-odd-year-old hip. Or at least, I’d want to. I can’t fault Roof for abstaining from violence so that he could keep his job.

Greg Paulus’ left foot may not slow just him down. The sophomore point guard reaggravated a previous foot injury in practice Saturday, and there has been no timetable set for his return. With a deep stable of wings, a number of smaller forwards and a mobile big man in Josh Mcßoberts, many expected the HGWS Blue Devils to employ a analysis run-and-gun style of offense this season. A high-tempo game would likely mask Duke’s youth and lack of an established

go-to scorer. But with the loss of last year’s ACC leader in assists, the thought of pushing the tempo early in the season seems to be a lot less practical. With Paulus out, the only true point guard on the roster is sophomore Jordan Davidson, a walk-on who played 11 minutes last season. Junior DeMarcus Nelson, who brought the ball up the court at times last season, and freshman Jon Scheyer will be the most likely candidates to see time at the point during Paulus’ absence. Even before the injury, one of the major questions facing the Blue Devils was regarding who would serve as Paulus’ backup. Nelson and sophomore Martynas Pocius are clearly more comfortable operating from the wing, and Scheyer played off the ball throughout his high school career. Paulus’ injury heightens the urgency of the question but will also likely result in its answer earlier in the season. Against full-court pressure, don’t be surprised to even see Mcßoberts serve as a pressure release, as the sophomore should SEE ANALYSIS ON PAGE

Head coach Ted Roof did not publicy criticize Florida State's running up the score during Saturday's game.

The bashing that occurred during it, however, caused the suspension of 31 players and concern nationwide about Miami’s football program Duke (0-6, 0-5 in the ACC) hosts the Hurricanes (4-2, 21) this weekend, but regardless of the impending matchup, the brawl has stirred the Blue Devils as Saturday’s game approaches. “That was a mess down there,” senior defensive tackle Casey Camero said. “Now they have to watch every step and move they make.” Taunting throughout the game escalated when Miami receiver James Bryant celebrated after scoring a touchSEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 13

With the Tobacco Road Rivalry looming this weekend, Duke is focused on the task at hand. The ninth-ranked Blue Devils (10-2-1) play host to Alabama A&M (5-7-1) in a late-

Stadium at 7 p.m tonight, with a game against North VS. Carolina coming up three days later. “We’re taking things TONIGHT, 7 p.m. one game at a time,” junKoskinen Stadium ior forward Spencer Wadsworth said. “Carolina’s in the back of our mind, but if we don’t take care ofbusiness tomorrow, playing Carolina won’t be as sweet.” If history is any sign, the Blue Devils have some reason to worry. In the all-time series, Duke is 0-3 against Alabama A&M, with all three losses coming during head coach John Rennie’s 28-year tenure. The last matchup, however, came in 1983 in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Since then, Alabama A&M has only returned to the tournament once, in 1984, while the Blue Devils have made 14 trips. This season, the Bulldogs started 1-6 but have won four and tied one in their last six games. Up front, Alabama A&M is led by forwards MfanaFuthi Bhembe and Mosito Ranko, who have tallied five goals and two assists apiece so far this season. “Alabama A&M brings a different style of play to the table,” junior midfielder Joe Germanese said. “We have to be ready and

focused to deal with the new challenges.” Stopping the Bulldogs attack will be more difficult for Duke without Germanese, who suffered a broken wrist and is out for a week. The Blue Devils will also miss Germanese’s presence up front, where he has put up three goals and five assists this season. Alabama A&M will not be the Blue Devils’ first midweek matchup against a nonconference opponent. UNG-Wilmington shocked the Blue Devils, 1-0, Sept. 19. Duke, however, adjusted from its loss to the Seahawks, and in the Blue Devils’ last midweek game, they blasted Davidson, 3-1, Oct. 11. “Every game is a big game,” head coach John Rennie said. “Midweek games are difficult. Letdowns are a concern with any midweek game, but our players are adjusted. They’ve got a job to do.” The Davidson win was part of an offensive surge for the Blue Devils. Over its last three games, Duke scored nine goals en route to wins in all three. “These things run in cycles,” Rennie said. “We went through a period where we struggled to score. Our plan is to keep our defense consistent, and the goals will come when they come.” With Duke’s offense hitting on all cylinders and a consistent defense, which has not given up more than one goal since Blue Devils’ 4-3 win at Wake Forest, Duke is peaking at the right time. “Things are just starting to click,” Germanese said. “We’re moving the ball better, and setting up better. It isn’t any one thing—it’s a culmination of a number of things. We are playing up to our potential.”

and Brandon Meriweather committed the most egregious acts of violence during Saturday’s bout. Reddick wielded his helmet as a weapon, and Meriweather stomped on downed FIU players.

Junior tailback Justin Boyle and the Blue Devils said they were not concentrating on Miami's suspensions.

We all talk about playing the game hard and going after people in the right context, head coach Ted Roof said. When the whistle blows, the play’s over. It s not putting ourselves in a position to get into any of those types of situations.” Miami head coach Larry Coker has been criticized for his team’s lack of discipline in the past —the Hurricanes were in a similar fight in last year’s Peach Bowl—but still has his job for now. Jobs and roster spots, though, are in jeopardy at both Miami and FIU. Although only one- and two-game - suspensions have been handed out so far, some believe that a much greater penalty was necessary. “I’m pretty sure their program’s in a situation now where the players definitely know the red light’s on,” Camero said about the Hurricanes. “They can’t afford any more mistakes like that.” Miami lacked leadership on the field, the Duke defensive tackle said. Camero said he was in disbelief as to how a senior would throw away one of his final games. “I’m not going to go out there, run and take my helmet off and throw it at somebody,” Camero said. “I’m going to get my guys out of there.” Duke’s coaching staff and players had discussed this topic even before the Miami-FIU fiasco, emphasizing that character and sportsmanship were- the keys to good football. The Blue Devils look to play sound football Saturday when a newer, younger Miami team comes to Durham. Secondand third-stringers for Miami will have to compete more in order to dll the 13-player void left by the suspensions. ‘You look at where their recruiting classes have been ranked over the last several years,” Roof said. “And it’s not like they’re going to fall off the side of a mountain because they’ve lost a few guys.”

action when the foot is fully healed.” On Monday, personnel at the Duke University Medical Center re-evaluated Paulus and prescribed a treatment plan that will not require surgery. The official release is in contrast to several published reports on the internet, which said Paulus had broken the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, would have surgery and would be out six to eight weeks. “What went out on message boards was not accurate,” Jackson said. “It was not a break, and he didn’t have surgery today.” One of three co-captains on the roster, Paulus was expected to be a key leader on a young Duke team. As a freshman, Paulus averaged an ACC-best 5.2 assists per game in becomingjust the fourth freshman ever to

lead the league in that category. After Duke lost to LSU in the Sweet 16 last March, Paulus had surgery to remove a bone chip in his right wrist. He took time off over the summer —which he said Friday was the longest he has ever been away from athletic activity—before returning to the court. Paulus said was 100 percent healed from that injury and excited to be playing again—and looking forward to the unique opportunity of leading a young team that will be adapting to new roles with the graduation of JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams. “We don’t know everything,” Paulus said Friday. “Guys like myself and Josh [Mcßoberts] have only been here for one year, so we’re still learning a little bit. We haven’t been that guy that everybody looks to in a situation where there’s a little bit of trouble or a team’s making a run and we’re playing away from home.” to

MICHAEL CHANG/THE CHRONICLE

Several reports said Radius would have surgery, but insteadhe will rehabilitate witout an invasive procedure.

ANALYSIS from page 11 be able to bring the ball up the court against almost any big man in the country. But Duke’s coaches will likely want to avoid this scenario since it will delay Mcßoberts’ ability to gain position in the low post, therefore slowing the initiation of the offense. “We are one of those teams that’s going to get better as the season goes on, and we find out who we are,” assistant coach Chris Collins said last month. That sentiment may be even more pronounced now that Paulus will likely miss time in the early season. There is a silver lining to the timing of Paulus’ injury, as Duke still has 26 days until its first regular-season contest. The Blue Devils will likely not be challenged until they get to the semifinals of the CBE Classic Nov. 20, giving them a pair ofexhibitions and three regular-season games to get a sense of who can run their offense most effectively against weak competition. But the lack of a floor general could become painfully obvious once the Blue Devils run into tougher opponents. In the finals of the CBE Classic, Duke may meet Marquette—a team which features the talented trio of guards Dominic James, Jerel McNeal and Wesley Matthews, who combined for nearly five steals per game last season. Shortly after the CBE Classic, Duke has back-to-back home matchups against powerhouses Indiana and Georgetown. The true fear for the Blue Devils, however, is not a few early-season losses but the possibility that this injury could hinder Paulus’ play throughout the season. It is a re-aggravation of a previous injury Paulus had suffered, and Duke will need the sophomore to return to full health if the Blue Devils are to reach their full potential.

But I’ll tell you what I wouldn’t do. I wouldn’t shake Bowden’s hand cordially after the game. I wouldn’t walk into my post-game press conference and completely ignore the fact that Florida State deliberately ran up the score on my team. A day later, I wouldn’t continue ignoring that fact, as Roof did Monday. “I don’t think about that,” he said. “It’s our Job to stop them, and it’s our job to score

points.”

Instead, I would’ve brushed off Bowden after the game. I would’ve walked into the press conference, and the first thing I would’ve said would be about that late fourth-down try. “Bobby’s Bowden’s choice to go for it on fourth down in a late blowout loss was absolutely despicable,” I would’ve said. “In the University environment, we try to BROOKS FICKE/THE CHRONICLE teach our players about sportsmanship.

that a coach who would go for it on fourth down late in a 27-point game would also watch over the Peter Warrick and ‘Free Shoes University’ scandals.” Woah, Alex. I thought you were on The Anti-Train now. You know, “It’s okay if Duke not-wins, we expect that. We’re just looking at the positives. Remember all that stuff? But there’s a big difference between not-winning and being a loser. Not-winning happens on the field. Being a loser happens when you let the bully give you a figurative swirlie and then pretend it never happened. Almost 25 years ago, there was another Duke coach with a program that was kind of downtrodden. But he wasn’t about to be anyone’s doormat. “I want to tell you something,” Mike Kr2yzewski said after losing to North Carolina, January 15, 1984. “You cannot allow people to go around pointing at officials and yelling at them without technicals being called. That is just not allowed. So let’s get some things straight around here and quit the double standard that exists in this league, all right?” By “people,” Krzyzewski meant North Carolina head coach Dean Smith, who even by then was a legend, much like Bowden is right now. Now that Krzyzewski is the legend, coaches like Maryland’s Gary Williams, Wake Forest’s Skip Prosser and GeorgiaTech’s Paul Hewitt have taken up the same refrain, saying Duke gets all the calls because its legendary coach bullies the referees. And Boston College coach A1 Skinner made similar complaints after losing to Duke last season. “I don’t understand the discrepancy,” Skinner said at the time. ‘You can call whatever you want against us; It’s got to be the same on both ends when there’s contact going to the basket, and you call a foul.” Maybe it’s no coincidence that Maryland, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and Boston College are real contenders in ACC basketball, while Duke Football is a perennial doormat. Standing idly by while another team strips your team of its dignity by treating it like a secondclass citizen is the surest way to build a losing attitude. “It’s kind of frustrating because you don’t ever want to see someone running up the score on you,” running back Justin Boyle said. “But at the same time, you’ve just got to worry about yourself.” Roof has done some nice things this year—the offense is undeniably more competent each week, and the defense has made some big plays. But Duke Football will continue to be bullied until its coach takes a stand. Calling out a living legend like Bowden would’ve been a start. Too bad Roof missed that chance

a compfehensive calendar of events that all students utilize should be one ofDSG’s priorities in the upcoming months. Besides not knowing about the event, students may have chosen not to go because the event seemed a tad manufactured. In the wake of the accusation by an NCCU student that she was raped by three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team last spring, administrators and student leaders from both schools have reached out to each other. Unity Test was perceived by some as an attempt to force students together. Communication between Duke and NCCU was lacking before the alleged rape and it has improved since, but it is difficult to get students moti-

vated to participate in something that is still so new to

both schools. Although some saw Unity Fest purely as a public relations move on the part of Duke, it was enjoyable for those who attended, and relations between the two universities can only have improved as a result. Indeed, even with impeccable advertising the festival might still have been sparsely attended. Regardless of whether or not Unity Fest was artificial and contrived, the feelings of goodwill that have proceeded from the event are genuine. We hope both schools can build on these sentiments to foster a relationship that lasts and doesn’t require another community crisis to maintain.

resulted in a lack of awareness and interest in the event. Publicity is a perennial problem for all student groups, but especially for DSC. There exists no central advertising space —physical or online—that most Duke students check for upcoming events. Although the Event Calendar on DukePass was designed to serve this purpose, few undergraduates check it regularly. In the absence of an easy, effective advertising strategy, DSG’s public announcements about this event were mainly through e-mail. Although this is a convenient strategy to employ, students often ignore blast e-mails to the entire student body. This event’s publicity efforts underscore the idea that

only three short weeks, on Nov. 7, midterm elections will be held all across the United States. Thirty-three seats in the Senate are up for grabs, as well as every one of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Campaigns are running in high gear, pundits are body debating the vulnerability of the Republican Party and soon television and print media will be saturated with attack ads and candidate endorsements. As the date brian kindle nearer, draws ad astra both parties will insinuate quietly the future of America may well hinge on this election. Everyone, from the president to your mother to P. Diddy, will tell you to vote. There will be hoopla, there will be scandal and fanfare and bitter argument, and as per the norm this campus won’t really pay much attention. There simply aren’t many people here who seem to care about this sort of thing. In general, Duke students are apathetic about national and international politics. I, for one, think that’s just fine. For the subset of the student body that’s actually “politically active”: ifyou’re looking for another column decrying the lack of student engagement in political issues, this ain’t it. Student apathy makes perfect sense to me. Considering the situation, it’s a rational response, and it might even be the correct one. I don’t think we’re lazy, or hardened cynics. It’s just that when politics becomes little more than a series of false choices, choosing not to participate isn’t such a bad option. Consider, for example, one of the more popular and übiquitous political causes on this (and probably many) college campuses: the Israel vs. Palestine conflict. It’s a hot-button issue, and discourse on it is typically dominated by factions heavily invested in one side or the other. Consequentiy, the debate ends up framed in terms of unconditional support for either Israel or Palestine, and unconditional condemnation of the other. That’s a false choice. There are solutions to the conflict that don’t involve fully embracing either side. In reality, I don’t have to choose one state or another, and if all I’m offered is Israel’s hopeless inflexibility or Palestine’s headlong rush into insanity, I’d rather opt out of the debate entirely. The same can be said for American politics. Both

parties are increasingly directed by their hardcore partisan margins and driven by callous, marketinginformed campaigning. Trumping up the classic liberal vs. conservative schism for political gain, they have forced a series of illusory choices on the U.S. population. Pro-choice or pro-life? Traditional family values or a tolerant society? Public schools or private schools? The environment or a healthy economy? Osama bin Laden or George W. Bush? In actuality, there’s an entire universe of options in between these extremes, choices that the current political climate never allows us to see. Unfortunately, it’s exactly these choices that the majority of Americans would support, given the chance (read the book “Culture War: The Myth of a Polarized America” by Morris Fiorina for an excellent statistical explanation of this claim). Most people, myself included, are looking for sensible policies that exist somewhere between right and left. We’re failing to receive them. For this reason, then, I’m not very upset about our alleged political apathy. Perhaps I’m giving us far too much credit, but I take it to be a sign that we’re rejecting a politics ofirrelevance and artificial dichotomies (rather than a sign that we like to watch the O.C. more than we like things like voting). Rest easy, student body. By doing nothing, you’re actually participating in an elaborate and subtle form of political protest. This isn’t to say we bear no responsibility whatsoever to engage in the political process, only that we don’t have to buy into politics on the terms that are being handed to us. We can forge our own means of political engagement, and to me the local level is by far the best place to start. It’s here in Durham that we can have a degree of power in defining the nature of politics, and Duke students and organizations are doing just that. Students for an Ethical Durham ran voter registration drives and campaigns against noted incompetent buffoon Mike Nifong. Duke Organizing is working to better student-employee relations and create ties between this campus and Durham religious and community groups. This kind of political action may not be as glitzy or exciting as televised debates on abortion or Palestinian Solidarity Movement conferences, but I’m willing to bet that in the long term it’s a hell of a lot more important. Being engaged in die nitty gritty of your town and region; that’s real politics, and real citizenship. I think P. Diddy would agree. Brian Kindle is a Trinity senior. His column runs every Tuesday.

of him lifting two 140 lb. barbells, delivering a 140 mph tennis serve (the Guinness record is 153 mph) and, of course, breaking a stack of bricks with his bare hands. His resume is largely fraudulent, listing roles such as CEO of Vayner Capital Management (fake), founder of a charity for children (fake) and author of a book (plagiarized). Fellow Yalies have reported that informally, he has made claims about having to register his hands as deadly weapons when boarding a plane and being one of four people in Connecticut qualified to handle nuclear waste. Now, whatever psychological affliction Vayner suffers is beyond my expertise (although I did endow a foundation to deal with a similar disorder after summiting Kilimanjaro). But I can’t help but think that it simply frees him to act outwardly on a type of self-doubt that must occur to all of us at one point or another. I needn’t remind you of how sweet, those of us at “elite” schools are—we hear it (or tell it to ourselves) all the time. But these reminders also reinforce the relative mediocrity of most students at these institutions—I mean, who hasn’t started a charity? I especially understand Vayner’s desire to set himself apart in the job frenzy. I imagine that when trying to gain access to the (even more selective) world of top banks, it truly hits home how many people there are with precisely the same pedigree and qualifications as you. And Vayner is certainly not the only one to get creative when applying to jobs—he’s just the most daring. This should make the rest of us even more insecure: We’re not only competing against a lot of smart kids, but against the best version of themselves they can dream up and get away with. Still, the extent of Vayner’s self-mythologizing seems to go beyond a strategic ploy to fool his way into a career. It reflects the inner turmoil of one who, according to a profile in Yale’s satirical Rumpus, is “ashamed of his numbingly regular existence.” I don’t think that’s far off. In an environment of high-achievers, an underlying fear of mediocrity is an almost inevitable element. As for me, I guess it’s a good thing I have my book royalties to fall back on.

But I still feel like an idiot, explaining my computer in layman’s terms as the OFT guy looks at me with a somewhat bored, a somewhat, dare I say, condescending gaze. No, I do not understand computers. I use one, and I like it to work. I get overwhelmed when it stops working. I use terms like “messed-up” and “weird” to describe its performance. The thing is these small encounters or silly mistakes that make us feel like idiots. Our teachers in elementary school always told us there was no such thing as a stupid question. Well, there is. And Duke is riddled with opportunities to ask these questions. Perkins and Bostock are confusing. For me, at least. Both buildings have the same sort of look to them, the same scatterings of reference and circulation desks, computer clusters, chairs and bookshelves. The stacks themselves are an elaborate maze ofbooks—some of which, apparently, are in transition from one building to the other—all labeled with a system ofnumbers and letters. I kind of get the numbers. I don’t get the letters. Wandering around the deepest bowels of Perkins in search of a book on gender and gaze in Ovid’s Metamorphoses that probably isn’t that popular, I got lost. And confused. And, honesdy, a little curious about the prevalence of sexual predators camping out in the stacks. After the requisite procrastination, I went downstairs to ask a librarian for help. I gave him the call number. He looked at die number. He looked at me. The same look the OIT guy.gave me. “It’s upstairs,” he said. Oh. Thanks. A stupid answer for, perhaps, a stupid question. It’s hard not to feel incompetent at times like these. When you get on the wrongbus, get lost in the quads or forget a homework assignment Itjust seems remarkable thatwe’re some of the best and the brightest, enrolled in all sorts of elaborate, complicated classes, and yet we can still feel like idiots with one inconsequential stumble. I ask myself, IfI can translate Ovid, why can’t I find a book on him? No one knows absolutely everything, and simple bits of knowledge fall through the cracks. But as many fellow columnists have pointed out before, Duke is a high-pressure place. Maybe we feel that because we have gotten thus far, life should henceforth be a seamless train of accomplishments. In the words of Professor James Bonk, “Not so, Lone Ranger.” We still do, and say and ask stupid things. Maybe Duke is set up to let you stumble around a little bit because the stumbling around teaches you that you need people. Not just your friends, who are good at helping you navigate your way back to Edens from various points on West but are completely useless when it comes to curing whatever ails your computer. You also need the complete strangers who hold the keys of knowledge, even if that knowledge is when the next C-1 is coming. No one is completely self-sufficient, and the process of asking for aid, of humbling yourself and seeking help, or directions, or whatever, is an education in itself. The overhead light in my room has started flickering on and off for no reason. My roommate and I have ignored it for a few weeks because we have no idea how to deal with it. It seems that we may have to ask someone to come in and fix it for us. I imagine someone from RLHS will come to our room, give us one of those looks and then do something really trivial like change the bulb. We’ll feel stupid. And so it goes.

fall break, I had the opportunity to visitYale’s campus in beautiful New Haven, Conn. There are a number of differences between our Gothic Wonderland and their ivy-laden gates —not the least of which is that the Pi Phis there actually talk to me But the other thing is the panhandlers Yale’s campus is crawling with them. Think mm*s of the comer ofNinth and Perry, and then david kleban imagine that being your whole school! At feather-bound books least here, the undesirables know where they don’t belong: that’s why they bring Clocks to Partners Place. But lacking the convenient separation provided by a huge forest or a stone wall, a Yale student is the target of bamboozlement most every day. Take the man I encountered on the same block on a Sunday night and the following Tuesday afternoon. On Sunday, he had “just [been] sprung from the hospital” and needed money to buy a bus ticket. (In hindsight, the wristband that, at the time, leant credence to his tale could just as easily have come from one of several nearby bars.) By Tuesday, however, he classified himself as homeless, and it was his mother whose medical ailments (the nature of which were vague) he was concernedwith. But aside from these petty con games, there was a far more epic, ambitious act of deception occurring on the very same campus: that of senior Aleksey Vayner. Vayner became the talk ofWall Street when Ids job application to several investment banks initiated the “viral” spread of a link to a homemade video. It is entitled “Impossible is Nothing,” and opens with an interviewer asking him, “Aleksey, you’re known as someone who has studied the principles of personal development for a long time. Applying these principles to yourself, you’ve coincidentally become a model of personal development and inspiration to many around y0u.... How do some people like yourself become very proficient in the fields much fester than most?” Vayner expounds on this question as we see images
