All three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team have been charged with raping an exotic dancer at a March 13 party. Bradley also interviewed Kim Roberts, the other dancer at the party, who refuted many of the alleged victim’s statements. “It’s hard to say whether [the program] helped the defense....

IFC President Ivan Mothershead, a senior, said Jones explained at the IFC presidents’ meeting Tuesday that the disaffiliation stemmed from problems the chapter had with its national fraternity’s demands. “They told IFC that the reason they decided to disaffiliate was directly related to their unwillingness to meet national requirements of their organization,” Mothershead said.

THE CHRONICLE

Statistics released this month in the Duke University Police Department’s annual Clery Report show that despite some fluctuation, crime numbers for the University remained stable in 2005. Numbers for liquor-law and drug violations, robbery and forcible sexual offenses all decreased, but burglary and motor-vehicle theft both rose slightly. “I think the numbers are going in the right direction, but I can’t say I’m 100 percent happy. I’d love to be able to say that we have no crime,” said Robert Dean, director and chief of DUPD. “We definitely should

feel pretty safe, but we can’t be satisfied and we must continue to take shared responsibility for keeping crime down.” The report was released in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, which mandates that colleges and universities release an annual about report campus crime

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea Satellite images indicate North Korea appears to be getting ready for a second nuclear test, officials said Tuesday, as the defiant communist regime held huge rallies and proclaimed that U.N. sanctions amount to a declaration of war. China, the North’s longtime ally and biggest trading partner, warned Pyongyang not to aggravate tensions. The U.N. has condemned the Oct. 9 atomic blast, and U.S. nuclear envoy Christopher Hill told reporters in Seoul on Tuesday that another nuclear explosion would be “a very bel-

ligerent answer” to the world. As the White House acknowledged that the isolated nation might try a second test, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice launched a diplomatic drive to persuade

Asian allies and Russia to intensify North Korea’s isolation by enforcing sanctions that the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved Saturday. Alexander Vershbow, the U.S. ambassador to South Korea, said Wednesday in Seoul that Rice plans to ask the South to expand its role in a U.S.-led international program to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Concern over a second test stems pardy

from new satellite imagery showing increased activity around at least two other North Korean sites, a senior U.S. defense official said. The activity, started a number of days ago, included ground preparation at one site and construction of some buildings and other structures, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it involved intelligence gathering. He said that although the purpose of the structures is unclear, officials are concerned because North Korea has left open the possibility of another test. A South Korean official told foreign journalists that despite signs ofa possible second test, it was unlikely to happen immediately.

WASHINGTON Some of the most notorious names in the war on terror are headed toward prosecution after President George W. Bush signed a law Tuesday authorizing military trials of terrorism suspects. The legislation also eliminates some of the rights defendants are usually guaranteed under U.S. law, and it authorizes continued harsh interrogations of terror suspects. Imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and awaiting trial are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, Ramzi Binalshibh, an al-

The Pentagon expects to begin pre-trial motions early next year and to begin the actual trials in the summer. The Supreme Court ruled in June that trying detainees in military tribunals violated U.S. and international law, so Bush

urged Congress to change the law during a speech on Sept. 6 in the White House East Room attended by families of the Sept. 11, 2001, victims. He also insisted that the law authorize CIA agents to use tough —yet unspecified —methods to interrogate suspected terrorists. Six weeks later, after a highly publicized dispute with key Republicans over the terms of the bill, Bush signed the new law “in memory of the victims of September the 11th.” “It is a rare occasion when a president can sign a bill he knows will save American lives,” Bush said. “I have that privilege this morning.”

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas endorsed the idea of forming a Cabinet of professionals instead of politicians Tuesday, saying it should be "considered seriously" as away to ease crippling Western sanctions against the government.

THE CHRONICLE

The Graduate and Professional Student Council convened Tuesday to discuss the findings of the annual graduate and professional student satisfaction survey, as well as concerns about graduate student security and community interaction. David Jamieson-Drake, director of the Office of Institutional Research, delivered the preliminary findings of the 2006 Graduate/Professional Student Survey. The annual report found that the overall quality of the educational and social experience for graduate and professional students has improved over the last two years. “In 13 out of the 17 categories measured, [the Class of] ’O6 was happier than previous classes,” Jamieson-Drake said. He emphasized, however, that there are still areas where improvement is needed. According to the survey, graduate and professional students continue to be unhappy about the availability of parking, childcare quality and nighttime safety. “Women walking alone at night on and off campus is a concern,” he said. “Women are still not comfortable with the scene at night here.” David Dyson, a Duke University Police Department community outreach officer, SEE GPSC ON PAGE 8

Biographer discusses Powell's time in cabinet Samiron Ray THE CHRONICLE

A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and associate editor of The Washington Post reflected on the career of former Secretary of State Colin Powell Tuesday, speaking to gathered students and faculty at the Terry Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy. Karen DeYoung spoke about “Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell,” her new book that is based on a series of six interviews with Powell and offers a glimpse into his life story and his personal thoughts about the war in Iraq. “How Colin Powell arrived at the very pinnacle of popular trust in the country, and ultimately the object of scorn for some, is the story that I try to tell in this book,” DeYoung said. During the speech, DeYoung discussed Powell’s internal ambivalence about the case for war and his conflicts with members of the Bush administration. “[Powell] was repeatedly humiliated,

his advice was ignored and he knew he was the odd man out in the Bush administration,” she said. DeYoung mentioned that Powell’s embittered feelings manifested themselves during her interviews with him. “He was irritated by a rash of news stories about his ended tenure,” she said. “It was clear that he was angry.” She also delved into the events surrounding one ofPowell’s defining moments —his 2003 speech to the United Nations, in which he made the case for the war in Iraq. “[The speech] was a direct order from the president, and he never thought to question it,” DeYoung said. She also explained how Powell’s military mindset led to his limited initial criticism of the war. “He was a soldier, and he had risen to a high station in life by obeying order; he is a man used to working within, not outSEE POWELL ON PAGE 8

Secretary General’s Special Representative on Human Rights Defenders, discussed U.N. roles and responsibilities in the context of ongoing human rights violations in Africa and the Middle East. “Everyone wants the U.N. to reform situations [with human rights violations],” Majekodunmi said. “What people don’t realize are all the political and cultural challenges—the work can be extraordinarily complex, extraordinarily risky, extraordinarily difficult.” He is also a staff member with the U.N.

Professors have an array of tools at their disposal including Google Video, Google’s newly purchased subsidy YouTube and DukeCast—the University’s new multimedia sharing program. The University has previously encouraged teachers to expfore the uses of technologies such as iPods and podcasts to share information in new ways, and professors and students alike agree that the use of video in classrooms provides an accessible and appealing medium for these ends. “It is important for students to understand how to deliver a message using these technologies,” said Richard Lucic, associate professor of the practice in the computer science department, “If they don’t get experience with it in the classroom, how will they ever learn to use it as a form of communication?” Lucic encourages the use of multimedia in courses about webbased media communications, in which students explore methods of distributing information by

Google purchased the popular website video-sharing YouTube last week, aiming to legitimize the use of copyrighted works on the site. In the past, Duke has warned students about judicial actions that can be taken when they violate copyright laws by using popular file-sharing programs. YouTube’s website warns users not to post videos that include such content, but the site is not closely monitored. The DukeCast website—a restricted medium for the storage and viewing of Duke-created audio and video podcasts—eliminates some of those concerns through close monitoring of posted content. Upom Malik, a Trinity freshman in the Game2Know Focus,

uses DukeCast to produce video podcasts. He noted the unique protection offered through Duke’s site. “The privacy that Duke Cast gives allows us to use material that we wouldn't normally be able to use,” Malik said. “I was able to use film-trailers as part of one of my projects.” “I couldn’t have done that outside of Duke Cast,” he added.

Despite copyright concerns, Duke students and faculty appear to be receptive to the future of novel technology mediums in the classroom. “Duke’s willingness to use iPods in the classroom shows a commitment to improving and incorporating technology in the classroom,” Hoekstra said.

EARTH JAM from page 1 School’s undergraduate programs, was originally scheduled to take place on the West Campus Plaza Tuesday, but rain forced it inside to the lower level of the Bryan Center. Despite the change, organizers said they were pleased with the event, which is in its first year. In addition to providing information about the Nicholas School’s two undergraduate majors and the Duke University Marine Lab in Beaufort, N.C., Earth Jam featured marine animal touch tanks, a station where students could crack open geodes, animals from the Piedmont Wildlife Center and free T-shirts and Loco Pops. There were also several musical acts and an appearance by Paperhand Puppet Intervention, a performance group featuring giant puppets. Organizers noted that a few of the events—namely, a log-splitting contest and a station where students would have learned about extracting oil from shale—were not feasible due to the rain, but that most were able to continue as planned. The festival was held in conjunction with the Majors Fair, which took place on the floor above. Earth Jam comes as part of a year-long initiative to raise undergraduate awareness about the environmental science and earth and ocean science majors, as well as summer and semester sessions at the Marine Lab. “It’s natural, since people are coming to learn about majors,” said Tim Lucas, marketing manager at the Nicholas School. “The Nicholas School of the Environment is known as one of the country’s top schools of the environment, but people may not know that as an undergraduate, they have the opportunity to take classes there.” Some current undergraduates said they wished that such an event had taken place when they were exploring possibilities for majors. “When I was trying to choose a major, I didn’t know anything about Environmental Science or EOS,” said junior Katie Brehm, an EOS major. “If I had come to something like this, I would have been way more knowledgeable and excited.” Nicholas School students, faculty, and staff were all on hand to provide information and answer questions about programs. “We have so much to offer undergraduates,” said Professor Emily Klein, director of undergraduate studies for earth and ocean sciences. “We want to expose them to issues because understanding our environment is critical to being an informed citizen and steward of our planet.” Although this is the first year that the Nicholas School has undertaken a large-scale event to target undergraduates, organizers said they hope to continue the Earth Jam festival in upcoming years. “It’s been an incredible success,” Klein said. “I hope that we can do it again in the future.”

and security with statistics covering the previous three calendar years. Burglary and liquor-law violations remained the most common crimes in the 2003-to-2005 stretch, with 39 and 32 offenses, respectively, last year. The report divides alcohol-related offenses into arrests, where a student is taken into custody, and referrals, which are cases in which no citation is issued but the incident is assigned to the Office of Student Affairs. Referrals are typically 10 to 11 times more numerous than arrests. The total number of alcohol-related incidents sank to 495 from the 2004 total of 577. Burglaries, however, experienced a slight upswing over previous years, from 34 in 2004. There were 37 incidents in 2003.

Raines said. “Of course you just don’t know, but I’d like to think it’s because we’re working more closely with the students, and because we’ve got a new educational campaign. It could also be that the students are getting smarter.” The statistics also show that the majority ofcrimes within DUPD’sjurisdiction occur on campus, rather than at the medical center or hospital. There were no recorded crimes at the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort,

N.C., in the report. The report also shows no hate crimes, murders or occurrences of manslaughter. Raines cautioned that the report does not give a complete understanding of all violations DUPD handles. “The Clery Report is not necessarily a snapshot of all the crime that occurs on campus,” she said. “It’s the things that the people at Security On Campus thought it was important for parents to know when they were deciding which school to send their child to,” she added. For example, larceny —which is not included in the report—occurs more often at the University than any other crime. “Off the top of my head, I’d say that larceny accounts for half of the crimes we have and that’s not on the Clery Report,” Raines said. A full index of the statistics for universities and colleges across the nation is posted on the FBI website. Raines added, however, that it is difficult to compare Duke’s numbers to those at other schools because the University has a large medical center and a comparatively high employee-to-student ratio.

after the April Rwandan genocide saw an estimated one million Tutsis and Hutus massacred by extremist Hutu militia groups. He has since worked in Burundi, Darfur, Nepal and most recently Lebanon, where he served as the U.N.’s sole human rights presence during the period of conflict in July and August of this year. Majekodunmi said many people consider the Rwandan genocide one of the grossest displays of inadequacy by the U.N. in the organization’s history. “There is a question of responsibility here,” he said. “That the [U.N.] sat silent during Rwanda—during what are considered acts of genocide—is just shameful.” Majekodunmi attributed the U.N.’s failure to prevent the genocide in Rwanda to many things, and attested to his own team’s lack of sophistication. “When my team arrived in Rwanda to investigate the genocide, we arrived completely unprepared,” he said. “We had no methodology, few material tools, no predefined use for our collected information—everything was very traumatic.” The horrors of Rwanda are something that Majekodunmi said have left a permanent mark on him, and have compelled him to continue the fight against similar atrocities. He said that the U.N.’s lack of available field experts to investigate a human rights violation, combined with the red tape and primitive judicial systems in many afflicted countries, greatly hampers the U.N.’s inquisition process. “In the case of Darfur, there were many, many difficulties the U.N. encountered,” Majekodunmi said. “The Sudanese government dragged their feet on our visas, required us to obtain special signatures, required Sudanese government personnel to follow us at all times—it was very difficult” Despite the setbacks the U.N. encounters, Majekodunmi said the organization is a bright and necessary presence in the world—and one that has given people hope. “When I was investigating genocide in Darfur, a man approached my team and led us to his hut, which had been burned, and his family, who were all dead,” Majekodunmi said. “The man knew there .was nothing we could do, but he came to us for aid through other means. He knew us as an organization of hope, and comfort, and good, and this is why I continue doing what I do—to help give hope to the people in the far reaches of the world.”

In addition, she criticized the Bush administration’s early push for the war. “They had asked all the wrong questions. They had started out with the premise that weapons of mass destruction existed,” DeYoung said. “No one ever asked whether there was evidence that disproved that there were weapons of mass destruction. And in fact, there was.” In her concluding statements, DeYoung reserved a strong judge-

on Powell’s legacy. “Over the long term, I think he’s likely to be remembered as the man who on several occasions had the opportunity to change the course of history and decided not to,” DeYoung said. That assertion evoked questions from audience members—including one from a man who asked whether or not Powell had any real alternatives at the time he was presented with evidence for going to war. DeYoung has been a writer at The Washington Post since 1975, and has covered issues such as counterterrorism and narcotics trafficking.

Dyson said that compared to national averages, the University’s campus is a relatively safe place to be. In contrast, data collected in 2005 showed that Durham has violent crime and robbery rates that are more than twice the national average. “Unsurprisingly, Durham is more dangerous than campus,” Dyson said. GPSC invited Jamieson-Drake and Dyson to its meeting as part of an initiative to improve graduate student safety. “There have been a number of highly visible incidents [recently] and we wanted to address them here in this venue,” said GPSC Vice President Nathan Kundtz, a graduate student in the physics department. As part of the initiative, GPSC created a new position to coordinate transportation and safety policy. Jeremy Block, Trinity ’O2 and a graduate student in public policy and biochemistry, heads the program, which focuses on providing graduate students with transportation information. [The initiative] is one part of a larger scheme to make Duke a safer place to allow people to move about freely,” Block said. The meeting also focused on the need for graduate and professional students to be involved in the larger Durham community.

U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), a member of the U.S. Senate since 1978, is chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. His address draws on his Senate tenure and his mastery of issues and political procedure to provide insight into the Senate’s history and its role in American politics.

TERRY SANFORD INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC POLICY

DUKE

Selected as one of America’s 10 Best Senators by Time magazine, which called him “The Quiet Persuader,” Cochran worked with Gulf Coast leaders to persuade Congress to double the amount originally pledged for Hurricane Katrina recovery. As Appropriations Committee chairman, Cochran is known for using private influence rather than public demands to accomplish his goals

The Terry Sanford Distinguished Lecture was endowed by a gift to the university front the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust in honor of the late Terry Sanford, who served as North Carolina governor, U.S. senator and Duke president, and founded Duke’s Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy.

60 MINUTES from page 1 later during the trial, Meyers said. “Statements that the players who appeared on television made can be used as prior inconsistent statements. They can be impeached with it,” Meyers explained. “When you impeach somebody you say their testimony is less credible now.” Durham attorney Woody Vann, who represented the alleged victim in a previous case, noted, however, that the interviews would not have happened if the defense teams thought there was a risk that their case would be damaged. “[The players’] attorneys would not have let them on camera unless they felt very confident they would come across as sincere, believable, credible, and that they wouldn’t say anything that could harm their legal status and they didn’t as far as I could tell,” he said. Seligmann told Bradley he had never been asked by the district attorney’s office or the Durham Police Department to give his account of the March 13 events, and law professors said it is not unusual for a prosecutor not to speak to the defendant before the trial. Meyers, however, said in his experience as a prosecutor, he would always listen to a defendant who approached him with information—as defense attorneys in the lacrosse case said they have done with Nifong. “As a prosecutor I would always listen and say, ‘Tell me what you want to tell me,”’ he said. “I would never turn down opportunities if they were making the effort to come in.” Clark contradicted this statement. “In the course of a case, the assistant district attorney and district attorney just don’t talk to defendants. They just don’t.” Clark said. “Not in this case, not in any case.” Because of the polarizing nature of the case, the segment likely did little to change the opinion of those watching, Vann said. “The people that think this assault took place probably aren’t going to be swayed and the people that don’t think it took place are already in [the defendants’] corner anyways,” he explained. What people took away from the program also depends on their existing biases and perceptions of the case and of the show, said Jennifer Collins, a criminal law professor at Wake Forest University School ofLaw. “I think there’ll be an attempt when they’re selecting the jury to account for potential biases,” Meyers said. Experts agreed that a change of venue for the case is unlikely, especially with the trial still months away. “It’s really hard to predict what public opinion will be,” Vann said. “It may be that Nifong loses the election and that will change things drastically.” Clark said she expects the case to go to trial in the spring and is not aware ofany motions that have been filed requesting a change of venue or that the case be dropped. She added that she spoke to the alleged victim late last week and usually contacts her once or twice a week. “60 Minutes” was the top-rated program during its time segment last week. According to Nielsen ratings, approximately 12.8 million households—2o percent of televisions in use at the time —were tuned in to the program between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. —

THETA CHI from page 1 Jones, however, told The Chronicle that there was no insurmountable rift between the local chapter and the national organization, and that there were no requirements the fraternity was unwilling to meet. “As far as everything was concerned with nationals, we were fine with them,” he said. “If anything [could be considered a conflict], we were going in separate directions as organizations in terms of our goals and our desires, but that was certainly not the most important issue.” In recent years, fraternities have been pushed off the main quadrangle and new rules have forced them to decrease the size and frequency of section parties, Jones said. “Greek life is not encouraged,” he added. Jones explained that by disaffiliating, Theta Chi is making a move that other fra-

temities may also be considering. We re just staying ahead of the curve,” he said. “Other fraternities have definitely had the same types of discussions over the past couple of weeks.” Theta Chi—which will change its name within the next few days—will retain the same goals, functions and social events, but have more freedom, Jones said. He added that the University administration will have very little control over the fraternity and members will not have to pay national dues. Relinquishing IFC recognition has some consequences, however, Mothershead said. “Besides losing the opportunity for on-campus housing, unrecognized groups cannot register events through [the Office ofStudent Activities and Facilities] or reserve space on campus,” he said. He added that unrecognized groups also cannot hold official events with recog-

nized greek organizations. Jones said though the fraternity’s recruitment has been good in recent years, he expects it will increase significandy after the fraternity has disaffiliated. “Off-campus fraternities have been extremely successful in their recruitment efforts,” he said. ‘You’re not bound by a strict set of rules, and it’s just easier.” All current Theta Chi pledges decided to stay with the fraternity after learning about its disaffiliation late last week, said sophomore Mike Schwert, president of the fall pledge class. “When they told us about the decision, I was actually pretty excited about it,” he said. “I don’t think being off campus will detract from my greek experience at all.” Though Theta Chi is one of two IFC fraternities that does not currendy have a designated housing section, Jones said the approximately 40 members of the chapter

have blocked together in the past. Pi Kappa Phi is the other fraternity without a designated housing section. “We’ve been able to get blocks on the main quad, which is something other fraternities don’t stand a chance at,” he said. Members who live on campus will continue to block together after the changes are implemented, he added. The Gamma Sigma chapter of Theta Chi was founded at Duke in 1949. Eta Prime fraternity—formerly known as Kappa Sigma—is currently the only other disaffiliated, off-campus fraternity at Duke. It disaffiliated from its national organization in 2002. Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, formerly known as Delta Phi Alpha, recently re-affiliated after existing as an off-campus, disaffiliated chapter since 2002. Before that, the chapter was affiliated nationally with Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Rough riders open up shop For the few, the proud and the brave among you who have actually attended every Duke home football game (and have been sober enough to see), you’ve probably noted the constant presence of a group even fewer, prouder and braver than yourselves. They call themselves Roofs Rough Riders, and they hang their banner right behind the Blue Devil bench each and every football Saturday in support. of their beloved meredith coach—despite how rough the ride has been. . Last Saturday—in light of Duke entering a game against Florida State without having scored a single point at home—I decided it was finally time to discover who the Rough Riders were and, why, in K’s name, they felt so compelled to publicly display their affection for head coach Ted Roof. After making the long walk around Wally Wade and descending the bleachers of Section 7,1 resolved that I was going to be as straightforward as possible in my questioning of the Rough Riders. I didn’t want to fumble my first foray into investigative journalism like a blown Duke snap. Who are you and why are you Ted Roof fans?” I asked. “Uh, well, how much time do you have?” one of the two Riders responded. Wow, this was going to be better than I thought. Kevin Houston and Will Lang, a.k.a. Roofs Rough Riders, claim they have been fans of the coach ever since his

THE CHRONICLE

Two goals in two consecutive secondhalf minutes sealed a 4-1 victory for No. 5 Duke Tuesday night against Alabama A&M at a rainy Koskinen Stadium. Up 2-1 at halftime after goals from junior Tomek ALA.A&M Charowski and DUKE 4 sophomore Pavelid Castaneda, the Blue Devils (11-2-1) came out of the locker room on fire and clinched the game. Long-distance goals by Spencer Wadsworth and Mike Grella put Duke in a confident mood, with its showdown against North Carolina coming up Friday.

The Bulldogs (5-8-1) —whose 19-man boasts 13 international players from Africa and the Caribbean —came into the game playing their best soccer of the season. Alabama A&M won the Bradley Tournament in Peoria, 111., at the end of September. “They are a good team,” Duke head coach John Rennie said. “They had four wins and a tie in their last six games, and they won a tournament the weekend before last. The coaches we talked to in the Midwest said they deserved to win it, too.” The Bulldogs gave the Blue Devils a serious challenge date in the first half when Cornell Castle struck the crossbar on a shot that would have knotted the score at roster

two. But just seven minutes into the second half, Wadsworth received a pass from Grella, turned and drilled a low shot into the far left corner from 20 yards out. Grella scored one of the most impressive goals of the season for Duke in front of only a handful of fans when he took possession of the ball on the left wing, dribbled past one defender and struck a curling shot that landed just inside the far right post. The Blue Devils controlled most of the possession early in the game and broke through with their first goal in the 21st minute after an impressive dribbling display from Charowski.

Eleven national championships. Fourteen players on the US National Team. Nine final-four appearances in the last three years. These collective achivements are not those of the ACC’s basketball or soccer teams, but of the league’s six field hockey squads. The most recent Division I coaches’ poll places every ACC team in the top 10, with Maryland, Wake Forest and Duke occupying three of the top four rankings. Among many of the league’s coaches, there is little doubt that the ACC is the premier field hockey league in the nation. “There is really no argument, especially this year,” Duke head coach Beth Bozman said. “[ln the ACC] you are playing in the best conference and playing the best teams every weekend.” Since the NCAA began to sanction Division I championships for field hockey in 1981, the sport SEE FIELD HOCKEY ON PAGE 14

semifinals—as one of the most defining moments of the year for her team. “We were extremely upset, frustrated, disappointed,” Goestenkors said. “Even though I was very upset with the loss, the next time I met with the team I said, ‘We’re going to win a national championship.’ Because I knew, having two weeks with a team that was talented and upset with its performance, I knew we would get more out of that two weeks probably than we ever had before.” After losing the NCAA Championship 78-75 in overtime a month later, die Blue Devils will come together yet again in the aftermath a disappointing loss to conference-rival Maryland. This time, they will have an entire season to do it. Goestenkors’ goal to win the program’s first national title has not changed. But, as the team began practice Friday, her strategy on how to get there has. Some changes on the court this year will be more subde. Goestenkors said she learned a great deal from her experience this summer as an assistant coach on the Senior Women’s National Team—from scouting opponents to finding new offensive sets. “The other countries tend to run more screens on the ball than we do here in the United States,” Goestenkors said. “They run dribble handoffs and there’s much more movement off the ball. Everybody’s a threat. We saw it in our game with Russia that we lost. And we saw it really with the men’s team as well when they lost to Greece.” Although Duke has been a good motion team, Goestenkors said, adapting its offense to a more European style of play will favor the Blue Devils’ solid guard play. In particular, Goestenkors said senior Lindsey Harding and redshirt freshman Brittany Mitch would thrive in this offense.

Abby Waner, who averaged 8.9points per game as a freshman last season, will likely be one of theBlue Devils' vocal leadersthis year.

Secondly, I’d say-“big fans of masochism equals Roof s Rough Riders” might be a more appropriate assertion; but who am I to question the self-designation of the undoubtedly most loyal pair of Duke Football fans out there? In fact, I’d like to defer to some of their thoughts on die state of Duke Football, which they passed on to me as I stood with them on an almost-empty first bleacher. “What do you think about the fact that none of the Duke students show up to games?” I asked. “Well, maybe they have better things to do, such as recover from hangovers,” Lang said. In my view, that’s not a valid excuse. That’s what tailgating is for. Regardless, my last question evoked perhaps the most telling response from my new rough riding friends. I asked Houston and Lang if they ever had tried to expand the Rough Riders. “We’ve had many people down here, but it’s hard to keep ’em coming back,” Houston said. “Until we get some more wins, it’s going to be hard to grow the group of us, much like it’s going to be hard to get the students to come out until we put a better product on the field But we think Ted’s the guy to do it, so that’s why we keep coming out.” So, Coach Roof, if you’re reading this, know that there are believers out there other than those inside your program and win one for the Riders. —

FIELD HOCKEY from page 11 has thrived in the ACC. Maryland captured the conference s first national title in 1987, and since then, ACC teams have won 10 more national titles—including eight of the last 11. “The ACC didn’tstart holding a conference tourney until 1983, but it has grown since then,” North Carolina head coach Karen Shelton said. “For a long time, it was the ACC and the Big Ten [at the top], but now we have firmly established ourselves as the dominant conference in the nation.” Shelton, who has led the Tar Heels in each of the ACC’s 24 field hockey seasons, has been a witness to the conference’s evolution from a group of a few powerhouse squads to a collection of six top teams. “For a long time, it was Maryland, UNC and UVa at the top of the conference, with Duke and Wake at the bottom,” Shelton said. “But with good coaching hires from respective institutions, the league has really improved.” When asked about what have been some of the factors in the ACC’s success, many of the league's coaches consistent-

ly cited two key elements—great coaching and great players. The conference’s current coaches combine for more than 1,000 wins at their ACC schools and 14 National Coach of the Year awards, and their ability to both coach and recruit has been an integral part of the league’s success. Duke has seen the most dramatic improvement as the result of a coaching hire. The Blue Devils hired Bozman from Princeton four years ago, having never before advanced past the national quarterfinals. Each of the last three seasons, Bozman has led Duke to the national tide game. “The ACC has amazing coaching staffs,” Maryland head coach Missy Meharg said. “We are fortunate that the schools and the coaching staffs have been able to recruit

great players.” When recruiting top prep field hockey players, ACC teams also have a distinct advantage in terms of the academic prestige of their universities. Although Ivy League schools have Division I programs, they do not offer athletic scholarships. ACC teams ptovide a strong combination of high-quality academics and elite field hockey. “The schools of the ACC offer a great education, and

the great hockey is on top,” Meharg said. Geographic advantages may also play a role in the ACC’s dominance. Some of the conference’s schools, such as Maryland, Boston College and Virginia, are located near field hockey recruiting hotbeds in Pennsylvania and the urban centers of the East Coast. This is reflected in the ACC’s rosters, as the teams average seven players from the state of Pennsylvania, led by North Carolina with 10. “[The northern ACC teams] have a distinct advantage because they are closer to the hotbed of youth lacrosse, and they can see more prospects on a regular basis,” Shelton said. “The schools further south, however, may enjoy the weather aspect, and that may attract kids who want to go to other places.” Quality field hockey players, however, are not only found in the towns of the Keystone State or cities of the Eastern Seaboard. The game is played at a high level worldwide, and ACC teams have not shied away from recruiting top players from places as far away as Argentina and the Netherlands. This season, every team in the ACC has at least one player who hails from outside of the United States, and Maryland leads the conference with six international players. “Some teams have tried to build programs by just recruiting foreign athletes and haven’t been as successful,” Bozman said. “But with ACC teams, it seems to supplement their talent.” Despite strong arguments that certain factors are the critical reason for the conference’s success at large, the confluence of contributing factors—from coaching to geography to academics—seems to have placed the ACC on the top of the Division I field hockey world. “It is a really fun league,” Meharg said. “To play anyone in the league, win or lose, it’s a win-win situation... until the postseason, of course.”

HOLLY CORNELL/THE CHRONICLE

Head coach Gail Goestenkors said senior point guard Lindsay Harding (above) should benefit from Duke using more on-the-ball screens this year.

At Quinnipiac University School of Law, you’ll find everything you need to succeed. From a challenging yet supportive academic environment to faculty members who will become intellectual colleagues. From live-client clinics real-world externships. Plus annual merit scholarships ranging from $3,000 to full tuition. For more information, visit law.quinnipiac.edu or call 1-800-462-1944. to

Yet some changes on the court will be more obvious than just running more on-the-ball screens. Duke needs to find players who can step up and fill the void left by last year’s National Player of the Year candidate Monique Currie and fellow captain Mistie Williams, who both finished their eligibility in 2006. Last season, Currie and Williams led the team in scoring, averaging 16.4 and 11.2 points per game, respectively, and were among the top three in rebounding. Perhaps more importantly, however, is that they both were vocal leaders on and off the court and were the heart of Blue Devils. “They were both mentally and physically tough and would get in any of their teammates’ faces,” Goestenkors said. “They were very demanding of their teammates, but they could be because they backed it up with their own play and their own effort.” Six-foot-7 senior Alison Bales, who played the best basketball ofher career at the end oflast season, aims to further improve her solid play as the rest of the team will look to her, along with Harding, for leadership. “I think more than anything it was a mindset,” Goestenkors said of Bales’ development last season. “It was as much mental as it was physical for her—knowing that we needed her, knowing that she had to be aggressive.” Duke will need Bales to play aggressively now more than ever with the loss of Williams, who was often the primary low-post option last season. Sophomore Abby Waner will also be crucial to Duke’s development. Goestenkors said she could emerge as a natural leader of this team because ofher strong play and even stronger work ethic. With only 11 players on the roster, Goestenkors will be able to find more time for all ofher players in the upcoming season—as opposed to lastyear, when she struggled to find enough minutes for several players. Despite the changes, however, one thing certainly has remained the same. This team is hungry for another championship run. “We all have a bitter taste in our mouths because of the way that game ended,” Goestenkors said of last season’s loss in the National Championship. “I, as a coach, and I believe my players, too, have used it as a source of motivation. So, we should be ready to play.”

stituencies, but of University donors as well. One of the stipulations attached to Aubrey McClendon’s donation of the tower in which Tommy’s will reside is that alcohol must be available on site. If Moneta seeks a diminished bar, it would seem that the University would be defaulting on the essence of this condition. Moneta’s unwillingness to comment publicly on the issue leaves all parties involved almost entirely in the dark. His resistance to Tommy’s was not initially voiced in The Chronicle or any other public forum but instead in a series of e-mail exchanges with Duke Student Government President Elliott Wolf, ajunior. In those e-mails, Moneta said he opposes the bar be-

cause ofits proximity to nearby student residences. Moneta’s alternative: housing a bar in the Bryan Center or West Union Building. One wonders whether Moneta has recently looked at a campus map many student residences are closer to the West Union than they are to McClendon Tower. Moneta appears chiefly concerned with rampant underage drinking. Yet there is no reason to suspect that the carding procedure would be any more lax at Tommy’s than it would be anywhere else on campus where alcohol is distributed, such as at E-Kegs and at the newly instituted event, ‘Fridays on the Plaza.’ The unresolved alcohol issue has delayed the open—

ing of the restaurant itself, leaving Edens residents without a much-needed nearby dining establishment. Delay after delay leaves one wondering whether Tommy’s will ever open. Undoubtedly Tom Meyer, Trinity ’9l and proprietor of Tommy’s, factored revenue from alcohol at the planned bar into his business model. The uncertainty of the alcohol question is not only a nuisance to students but should be of serious concern to Meyer. Although the competition for food on campus is steep, Meyer would have had a near monopoly on the campus bar scene. Without this guarantee, the long-term viability of Tommy’s is far from certain.

Clothes don’t make the man I went out to Los Angeles to visit my sister for Fall Break. I made sure to bring all of my good clothes and a nice pair of shoes so I would blend in easily. It didn’t take me long to realize, however, that by wearing a polo shirt tucked into a pair of khakis, I wasn’t fitting in at all. Everyone I saw sieve brown in California was dressed as if they the worJd IS yours were on their way—to the gym or had just woken up from a nap. I felt like I was the only person in miles who was wearing a belt. Some people might have felt awkward in this situation, but I loved it. These were my kind of people. For years I’ve been screaming at everyone back East about how clothes are overrated, but no one ever seems to listen. Let me put it to you this way: Before this year, I owned one collared shirt. I now have four. Recently, I bought a pair of jeans for the first time in five years, and I literally wear them every day. I’ve already washed them so many times that they have little holes everywhere and are starting to come apart at the seams. I don’t own a hat or a pair of sunglasses. I have two pairs of shorts. My watch is digital. And Velcro. About three times a year, I actually go to the mall with the intention of buying some nice, new clothes. As soon as I step into the stores, though, I realize that shopping is not as easy as it sounds. First of all, I can’t see or hear anything because of the flashing lights and blaring techno music. Then I see that all of the jeans have giant rips in the knees and paint splattered all over them. They are separated into different categories. The highest category is called “Destroyed.” Each pair has been reduced to a pile of rags. Price; about $2OO. Every shirt is neon yellow or pink. Every mannequin wears at least five layers of clothes. I start to get a headache from the smell of the cologne counter. I see a pair of pants that uses a penny instead of a normal button on the waist. Somehow, this increases the value $lOO rather than one cent. An employee asks me if I need help with anything. I want to tell her that I need help understanding why I should spend all of my money on clothes that are intentionally made to look worn and used when I can just wear my old

clothes that are actually worn and used for free But I never do. I remember during the first week of this school year how excited I was to wear the new shirts I had bought over the summer. I wore them to class, to the library, to dinner, everywhere. Then I started getting lazy. I would wear my nice shirt to my morning class, then change into a T-shirt for the afternoon. Before long, I had fallen into the dreaded “wear an undershirt and warm-up pants all day then sleep in them that night then go to class in them the next day” routine. On Saturday nights, my friends walk into restaurants sporting their fancy outfits, while I straggle behind in my basketball shorts and a Tshirt that has a giant skull drinking from a bottle with “Time flies when you’re having rum!” written underneath. The only one who sets the bar higher (or lower) is my roommate. Mark has his own distinctive fall, winter and spring fashion lines. Early fall consists of a white undershirt and basketball shorts. As it gets cooler, warm-up pants are added. When winter rolls around, he includes a gray sweatshirt. Once it begins to get warmer in early spring, he sheds the sweatshirt. By the end of spring, he has returned to the undershirt and shorts. Every transition is like clockwork. It is a cycle that encapsulates the wonder of nature. It’s important to note that Mark only owns one of each item of clothing. Should he spill ice cream or mustard on his sweatshirt in December, it will remain there until March when the spring line is unveiled. Sure, nice clothes might get you women, a better job and the respect of those around you. But is it worth sacrificing your comfort? I recommend taking a break from the fashion world. Wear pajama pants and sweatshirts wherever you go for a week: the movies, a wedding, whatever. If everyone looks at you like you’re crazy, it’s because they’re jealous that they didn’t think of it first. You’ve got plenty of time to play dress-up when you’re a lawyer or a doctor in 10 years. For now, do what feels right. Be sloppy, and enjoy every minute of it. Steve Broum is a Trinity junior. His column runs every other Wednesday.

Jong II just wants a little love. He’ll even make do with a little respect. But nobody seems to want to give the little man what he wants. “I just can’t respect anybody that would really let his people starve and shrink in size as a result of malnutrition,” a frank President George W. Bush said of Kim Jon II back in 2003. Arguably defensible from an ethical, standpoint, sensible Bush’s sentiments of Kim as a spoiled child (and have pygmy) mostly served to hurt the tender soul tediously tucked into tight khaki. Starting in 2001, Bush has very publicly held fast to his opinion of Kim with J3IIG CtlOnCj a five-year refusal to hold the short shot bilateral talks with North Korea. Mistake No. 2 was probably naming North Korea to the “axis of evil,” and then prompdy invading its Evil triplet, comma, Iraq. Imagine the emotional damage wrought on Kim’s psyche, mixed feelings of hurt (name-calling), fear (Am-I-next?) and neglect (Why-does-Sadaam-get-to-go-first?). Devastated, Kim went straight for the big guns. The North Korean leader is doing what he has threatened to do all along, and the world is finally watching. Not really doing much, but watching. Rampant speculation about the state ofKim’s sanity has resurfaced, and preexisting theories spell everything from optimism to Armageddon. Some say Kim is a deranged madman. The descriptions are redundant, but the anecdotes are compelling. He kidnapped a South Korean director and his actress spouse back in 1978, so that they could make him movies and supplement his ever-expanding collection of classics like Rambo and James Bond flicks. In short, there is no telling what Kim will do with his newest toys—nuclear arms. Others describe Kim as a shrewd, Internet-sawy, modern-day Hamlet, operating under the guise of madness, equipped with a keen business understanding ofhis imminent extermination, should he be tempted to try anything .

Promote athletics-academic discussion, not debate

an Oct. 3 guest column in The Chronicle, Professors Richard Hain and Fred Nijhout called for “a thoughtful debateabout the r01e... ofathletics on campus” and said “Let the debate begin.” Actually, this “debate” began, at Duke and elsewhere, more than 100 years ago. In 1906,Palmer Pierce ofthe United States Military Academy rose to address the inaugural convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association as its first president. He did so in a time of heightened controversy surrounding college athletics. The President ofColumbia University had just abolished football at his institution, calling it an “academic nuisance.” As early as 1893, Harvard President Charles Elliot, charging that coaches had turned football players into “powerful animals” with dulled minds, decried the resultant image of universities as “places of mere physical sport and not of intellectual training.” In his address, President Franklin Pierce characterized college athletics in away that may not seem unfamiliar to us today: “considering victory alone, and not the means of attaining it... looking with a favoring eye on proselyting [sic] and professionalism... deprecating legitimate academic work in favor of athletics.” In that same year, Duke s own president, William Preston Few, added his voice to the discussion: “There is good in intercollegiate athletics, when properly conducted. They have made considerable contribution to American college life and deserve to be saved from the perils that threaten them and the evils that now actually beset them.” Not many would deny that athletic participation can play an important role in one’s educational experience and in the life of an institution, but few would also deny the danger, for the individual and for the institution, of an athletic program that becomes so fixed on winning above all else that it loses sight of its proper role in the mission of the university. The problem of the definition of this role is much,

much older than intercollegiate athletics in America. The “debate” is, in fact, ancient. In the Republic (111, xvii), Plato talks about the value of athletics in training those who are to be the guardians of the republic, as long as athletics are kept in balance with the other elements of their education. The answer, chris kennedy then .appears to be aimguest column -3 pie: balance. The execution is the hard part. to there seems have emerged a sense that Recently, the University has uncritically allowed Athletics to go its own way, unchallenged and unexamined, oblivious to the academic concerns of its students and focused entirely on the next game. We have been accused of being “arrogant” and “nonreflective.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. We are, in fact, continuously evaluating the role of varsity athletics at Duke. And this effort in not unilateral. The cooperation between Dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences Robert Thompson’s office and the athletics academic support program, for example, is extensive and has involved, among other things, detailed studies of the academic performance and choice of majors of studentathletes. The Athletic Policy Statement of 2003—which addresses many of the issues raised by members of the faculty—was the product of extended and serious discussions among the president, the executive vice president, the provost, the vice president for student affairs, the dean of Trinity College, the director of athletics and the senior associate director of athletics. Far from being “non-reflective,” we are never fully comfortable that we have the balance completely right, we constandy evaluate what we do and how we do it, and we never lose sight of the fact that we owe it to our student-athletes to encour“

age them to embrace all of the challenges and opportunities that a great university provides. And at the heart of the matter, as far as we are concerned, are our student-athletes—more than 600 young men and women who chose Duke precisely because it offers a balance between first-rate academics and athletics at the highest amateur level. Our promise to them when they are recruited and when they arrive is that that balance is not an illusion. Part of fulfilling that promise means that we think carefully about the student-athlete experience, understanding that the “athlete” side of that equation must always be regarded as part of a larger whole—a Duke education—and not an end in itself. We have never claimed to have all the answers, but at the same time, it is erroneous for Professors Hain and Nijhout to assume that they are raising these issues for the first time. Moreover, their characterization of this kind of discussion as a “debate” approaches the issue in the wrong way. “Debate” implies two opposing sides, one of which will emerge as a winner at the end. I’d like to think that Professors Hain, Nijhout and I are on the same side: Duke’s. We are happy to have anyone who wishes join in the ongoing discussions of the role of athletics in the lives of serious students. For those of us who have devoted our professional lives to intercollegiate athletics and, more importantly, to the welfare and ultimate success of the remarkable students who represent our University, it is too important an exercise to ignore the advice, the suggestions and, yes, the criticism, of others who, like us, want only the best for Duke and its students. Chris Kennedy is the senior associate athletics director and an adjunct assistant professor of English.
