IZA WOJCEECHOWSKA THE CHRONICLE

Students must stand farther from the court during basketball games in Cameron Indoor Stadium this year, due to the Durham Fire Marshal’s stricter enforcement of safety regulations. Undergraduates can no longer occupy the floor behind the press row, making the first bleacher the first row for student fans, line monitors said. Graduate students are also expected to stand farther away from the court in their section. Men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski expressed concern about the implications of the sudden policy change. “Did we do something wrong, and if thatis the case, then how might we be able to solve it without hurting the students?” he said. “They’re on the team too, so they should be as close to the court as possible.” SEE CAMERON ON PAGE 5

THE CHRONICLE

Mike Grella GERMANTOWN, Md. may only be a sophomore, but he’s already won the ACC Championship twice. One season after knocking home the deciding penalty 0 kick in the ACC WAKE title game against DUKE 1 North Carolina, Grella lifted No. 9 Duke (16-3-1) past top-ranked Wake Forest (15-3-3), 1-0, Sunday in overtime at the Maryland SoccerPlex. After 90 minutes of scoreless regulation, Grella’s blast from 35 yards out beat Demon Deacons’ goalkeeper Brian Edwards for the game-winner. “I found a little space, and I just had a crack at it,” Grella said. “I got the bet-

of the goalkeeper.” Grella’s goal gave the Blue Devils a tournament title to go along with their regularseason conference co-championship, which they shared with Wake Forest. It also marks the first time Duke has won back-toback ACC tournament championships. “In this league, it’s an honor to win this event,” head coach John Rennie said. “The caliber of the teams that are here, ter

the quality of the facilities—it’s just a tremendous honor to win it. To win it two years in a row is terrific.” The victory was also Duke’s second over Wake Forest this season. This one, however, was a little different from the Blue Devils’ back-and-forth 4-3 win in WinstonSalem in Duke’s first ACC game of the year. Sunday’s championship bout was fought mainly in the middle of the field, with neither team manufacturing many scoring opportunities. Duke tallied only four shots in the first half while playing into the wind. The Blue Devils’ only chances came in the final minutes of the half, on shots by Pavelid Castaneda and Zach Pope that just missed the net. SEE M. SOCCER ON SW PAGE 5

The Rev.Ted Haggard, the disgraced former president of the National Association of Evangelicals, confessed to sexual immorality and called himself a "deceiver and liar" in a letter he read today from the pulpit of his megachurch in Colorado Springs, Colo.

BAGHDAD, Iraq Defiant, raging and to Saddam Hussein end, the arrogant trembled and shouted “God is great” as he was sentenced to be hanged. “Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!” Saddam cried out. Then bailiffs took the arms of Iraq’s once all-powerful leader, and the man the United States went to war to drive from power walked steadily from the courtroom with a smirk on his face. The hawk-faced chief judge, Raouf Abdul-Rahman, sentenced Saddam to the gallows Sunday for crimes against humanity, convicting the former dictator and six subordinates for a nearly quarter-century-old case of violent suppression in this land of long memories, deep grudges and sectarian slaughter. Shiites and Kurds, who had been tormented and killed in the tens of thousands under Saddam’s iron rule, erupted in celebration—but looked ahead fearfully for a potential backlash from the Sunni insurgency that some believe could be a final shove into all-out civil war. A round-the-clock curfew imposed before the verdict helped avert widespread bloodshed, but police said 72 people were killed or found dead nationwide by daybreak, and worries grew about what will hap-

Saddam was ejected from the courtroom repeatedly for his political harangues, and his half brother and co-defendant, Barzan Ibrahim, once showed up in long underwear and sat with his back to the judges. With justice for Saddam’s crimes done, the U.S.-backed Shiite prime minister called for reconciliation and delivered the most eloquent speech of his five months in office.

THE CHRONICLE

Finding the right career is a near-universal struggle for recent college graduates. Finding the wrong one, however, was all too easy for teacher-turned-speechwriter Rob Goodman, Trinity ’O5, who now works for Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn. Goodman, a former Chronicle columnist, spent his first year out of college teaching English in an Arizona charter school—a decision he soon regretted. “I got into a car wreck on the first day of school, and that’s when I realized I had screwed up,” he said. “I thought, ‘Oh God, I should be in Washington.’”

He stuck out the school year before following his gut to the Beltway. He was turned down for a job at a speechwriting firm, but the firm forwarded his information to Dodd, and Goodman began working for the senator in September. Goodman, the only Dodd staffer exclusively devoted to writing speeches, collaborates extensively with the senator and his policy team in crafting each address. “I’ve been interested in politics as long as I can remember,” Goodman said. “If I were to add up all the hours I spend every day reading the news and the blogs, I’d be pretty depressed with myself.” Goodman said competitive debate throughout high school and at Duke, among other activities, prepared him for a speechwriting career. Nevertheless, he said, the learning curve is steep in an office of seasoned policy experts. “It’s like being in school all the time. I just have to educate myself about a subject SEE GOODMAN ON PAGE 8

Engineer group honors GPSC president Ellerbee BY

VIKRAM SrINTVASAN THE CHRONICLE

When Audrey Ellerbee, a fifth-year graduate student in biomedical engi-

neering, found out that she had received the 2007 Golden Torch Award for “Graduate Student of the Year” by the National Society of Black Engineers, Ellerbee said she was “surprised.” She was probably one of the few. People who know her, like William LeFew, Graduate and Professional Student Council co-chair of the Basketball Committee and a graduate student in mathematics, said they are not shocked in the least. “She contributes [to the student community] in more ways than I can count or convey, and more ways than anyone will likely know about,” said LeFew, who met Ellerbee three years ago through her work on GPSC. Ellerbee was nominated for the

award by Jeffrey Forbes, assistant professor of the practice of computer science and the advisor of Duke’s NSBE chapter. The nomination made her eligible for the application process, which evaluated her academic and extracurricular merits and her character. According to a NSBE press release, the Golden Torch Awards honor those whose work demonstrates the highest commitment to the ideals set forth in NSBE’s mission; to increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community. In addition to serving as president of GPSC, Ellerbee is a University scholar, a member of the Latin dance troupe Sabrosura, a student committee member of the Campus Culture Initiative, an active leader in Duke’s black community SEE ELLERBEE ON PAGE 8

SCOTLAND from page 1 U.S. states, including North Carolina—the state with the largest proportional percentage ofpeople of Scottish decent “It’s the best way for us to sell Scotland—to have people live there and study there and to have them see modern Scotland,” said Michael Kellet, first secretary of Scottish Affairs at the Bridsh Embassy in Washington, D.C. In the 2004-2005 academic year, 2,750 U.S. students studied at Scottish universities and colleges. Duke’s study abroad program at the University of Glasgow, offered through the Public Policy Department, was initiated in 1982. Of the 475 Duke students studying abroad this semester, 64 are studying in universities within the United Kingdom, including 14 students in the University of Glasgow and St. Andrews University. Junior Sarah Wohl, one of the 11 Duke students studying abroad at the University of Glasgow this semester, said she has noticed the intensity of the Scottish pride and the Scots’ eagerness to talk about politics and life in America. “Lots of people here have heard ofNorth Carolina be-

cause they have been there or know people there,” she in an e-mail. “I would definitely consider working here after school. I think it would be amazing.” The formation of the Scottish Parliament six years ago gave more governing power and independence from the United Kingdom to the Scots. This renewed sense ofindependence inspired Scotland to pursue the initiative to put the country and its potential on the international map. The strategic objectives include raising Scotland’s profile in the United States and recruiting students to live and work in Scotland. The seven states focused in the strategy, which also include California and New York, were chosen because ofexisting cultural and historical links, Kellet said. Progress toward these objectives will be reviewed in 2010 to determine future plans for the country. The Friends ofScotland Caucus, co-founded by North Carolina Rep. Mike Mclntyre, D-Dist. 7 and Tennessee Rep. John Duncan, R-Dist. 2, was formally inaugurated in May to better promote Scottish interests in Washington, D.C. “I hope that the Caucus will grow to provide a powerful focus for promoting Scotland and Scottish interests at the wrote

highest political level in the [United States]/’ First Minister of Scotland Jack McConnell said in a press release. Despite the established prestige of its universities, other students are not as enthusiastic about temporarily relocating to Scotland. “When you think of studying in Europe or even in the United Kingdom, there are more attractive cities with a better night-life, for one,” said junior Chris Shaw, a North Carolina native of Scottish decent. “I would consider it, but I feel Scotland isn’t that attractive to young people like students.” Shaw, who visited the country four years ago, added that it would be difficult for people to see past the traditional images ofScotland. “Even in a big city such as Edinburgh, you see dudes walking around in kilts and there are cobblestone streets, and half the stores are tourist attractions hyping up this identity,” he said. The new push to place Scotland on the map for the next generation, however, does not mean abandoning its rich history and culture, Kellet said. “One of the things people tend to have is a traditional look at Scotland,” he said. “We want to show that there are so much else we have to offer. If we can do that, between now and 2010 or at least help move that image forward, that would be a success for us.”

CDC’s BioSense program, which aims to link the nation’s hospitals, public health systems and health laboratories in order to enable the CDC and health-care organizations to collect and analyze data. Once fully implemented, BioSense will be able to detect bioterrorist attacks or epidemics in their early stages and to provide health-care personnel with real-time health data from their local communities, Steele said. “The realities of terrorism revealed the need to rapidly assess disease trends in real time,” she said. Accessing health care data is currently difficult due to the wide variety of information systems used by the nation’s hospitals and public health institutions, she said. She added that by collecting data in a single national system, patient care would be improved and lives would be saved. “People died after [Hurricane] Katrina because there was no way to know what kind of therapies they were on,” Steele said. The BioSense program, she added, is able to construct patient health profiles that present an individual’s complete medical history on one secure web page. The program has raised concerns among some privacy advocates, however, who worry that the collection of individual health data by the federal government is inappropriate and creates the potential for abuse. To address these fears, Steele said the CDC intends to tie the data to randomized numbers rather than to personally identifying information. “[The CDC] is not interested in individual names, but we are interested in people that keep coming back to the same hospital,” Steele said. “Only specific users authenticated with a digital certificate would have access.” The BioSense program is currently collecting health-care data from 500 hospitals, including all of the nation’s public health institutions, Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense hospitals. In addition, six states, including North Carolina, have passed legislation requiring hospitals and other health care institutions to share patient data. Although the BioSense program is still in its early stages, Steele hopes to have 3,500 hospitals across the nation linked into BioSense’s real-time datasharing system by 2009. “The most important thing BioSense has done is develop the standard for what information needs to be exchanged between hospitals and laboratories,” she said. Leaders from the pharmaceutical industry present at the talk were generally supportive of the BioSense program. “The intent to have an unimpeded flow ofinformation across traditional boundaries is crucial to the long-range public health of the country,” said Dick Hinson, vice president for commercial operations for Roche Laboratories. Rich Pilnik, chief marketing officer for Eli Lilly and Company, said it would probably take a disaster before people realized the importance of a program like BioSense. “[Steele] gave us a perspective that few people know and understand,” he said.

HOUSE RACE

from page 3

term in 2004 over Republican Todd Batchelor with 64 percent of the popular vote. “It’s all about turnout,” Price said at an Oct. 30 rally on the West Campus Plaza. “There are labor organizations, teacher organizations, citizen groups that turn out their individual members. That all helps, but we do our own outreach.” The congressman said his campaign would contact tens of thousands of voters and run buses to polling places on election day. Another challenge for Acuff is the dramatic disparity between the financial status of the two campaigns. The Center for Responsive Politics reported that Price has raised $831,685, all of which came from Political Action Committees and individual supporters. In contrast, the CRP said Acuff s campaign has raised only $44,760, including $24,750 the candidate donated from his personal funds. Many have said the national political landscape also

favors Democrats in a year when several Republican leaders have been indicted on corruption charges or accused of covering up the sexual harassment of House pages. Acuff dismissed the idea that the scandals were a uniquely Republican problem. He said recent ethical problems show that the Congressional establishment including Price—needs to be replaced. “This climate of corruption is an equal opportunity employer,” Acuff said. “I’m not ready to be lectured to about ethics and morals by the party of Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank.” Acuff added that he didn’t think the House should be run by “a San Francisco liberal,” referring to Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader who is slated to become Speaker if the Democrats win control of that body. Price said the major academic presence in his district—which includes both Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill —may help his campaign, because his knowledge of education and foreign policy issues appeals to well educated voters. Yousef AbuGharbieh contributed to this story. —

GOODMAN from page 3 very quickly,” Goodman said. “I’m trying to be the language guy, but to do that I have to know the policy.” Although writing speeches for the Senate flooris “180 degrees different” from writing for The Chronicle, Goodman said his three years as a columnist helped him gain confidence as a writer. “It was the first time I thought I could actually do it for a career,” he said. “And it helped me learn to write on deadline.” In his column, “Lobster Sticks to Magnet,” Goodman expounded upon everything from in-flight magazines to Patrick Johnson’s possible cyborg status, sprinkling the columns with Dostoevsky quotes and other esoterica. In a March 2004 column, Goodman tackled masturbation, entreating students not to take it for granted and concluding, “Don’t treat yourself like a piece of meat. Treat your piece of meat like yourself.” “They were brilliantly funny pieces of satire,” said senior Clare Lascelles, who competed in debate tournaments with Goodman. Goodman always sought a fresh, original approach to issues in his columns, she said. “The way he attacked his columns is how he attacked any critical issue,” Lascelles said. Although Goodman honed his skills expressing his opinion to the Duke community, he said speechwriting requires an entirely different mindset. “You learn to have a lot more discipline—you stick on topic. You always think about the audience and what they’re going to get out of it,” Goodman said, adding that he could no longer put off writing until 2 a.m. when inspiration struck.'*! miss it because I tried to kind ofcultivate the image of not giving a f even though I really did,” Goodman said of his columnist days. “Nothing compares to that freedom.” After three months on the job in D.C., Goodman’s enthusiasm has not flagged. “When I got there and started to write, it didn’t feel too strange,” Goodman said. “I’d love to do this as long as I can.” —,

ELLERBEE from page 3 and a two-time All-American rugby player. As an engineer, Ellerbee’s work focuses on photonics, a field of BME. grounded in physics and electrical engineering that involves “applications of light for serving clinical needs,” she said. Ellerbee added that her lab has focused on developing optical imaging systems for clinical use. Ellerbee’s interest in BME dates back to high school, when she participated in immunology research, she said. Though that experience had a lasting impact on her, Ellerbee added that her decision to go into science and technology was heavily influenced by having attended a science and technology magnet high school. Ellerbee explained that her choice to go into BME was a result of her gradual exposure to different aspects of scientific study. She considered undergraduate programs that included biomedical engineering but eventually decided to go to Princeton University to study electrical engineering. Instead of heading directly to graduate school after graduation, Ellerbee decided to teach in Singapore for year. She said the experience helped inspire her to study two new languages when she came to Duke—Spanish and German—despite a heavy BME course load. It should be no shock, then, that communication is one ofher greatest strengths, especially in her campus leadership, Lefew said. “She’s articulate, everything she says is very well thought-out,” he said, pointing to her insightfulness in committee meetings. “She asks the hard questions, and she asks the questions that most people take quite a while to develop or realize are important.” In her own view, however, Ellerbee said she does not consider herself to be an assertive individual. “I’m a pretty soft-spoken person, I don’t really put myself in the forefront of things, so the idea of being president [of GPSC]... was a little intimidating to me.” Ninita Brown, a post-doctoral candidate and close friend of Ellerbee, said Ellerbee’s humility masks incredible leadership and organizational ability. “It’s not about her ego or getting credit for things,” Brown said. “She’s about progress and the greater good in a situation.” As far as her career goals go, Ellerbee said she would like to work for a foundation that deals with biomedical engineering policy rather than going straight into industry or academia. Interestingly enough, Ellerbee’s ideal occupation has very little to do with science at all. “If I could have my dream, dream Job—which is totally, totally a dream—l would be an ambassador, because I really do love international travel [and] learning languages,” she said.

vantage of the community. Through his approach to the case and his statements to the press, Nifong utilized an already existing and powerful divide in the Durham community. This district attorney race is not just about the Duke lacrosse case and it certainly should not be. Durham had the highest homicide rate in North Carolina in 2005 and continues to face a grave gang violence problem. This county needs a fair and competent DA. From witnessing his style during the past few months, it is apparent that Nifong is hardly that choice. It seems shocking from recent polls that Durham residents would not choose

to recall Nifong and have someone else appointed to the post. This time, the victims of what seem to be unethical procedures were three members of the Duke community who could afford to hire proper legal representation, but what happens to those who can’t? Nifong appears to be, from his actions during the past few months, a DA who will do anything to get a conviction and gain political favor. There are some who say the innocence of the accused can only be proven if the case is brought before a jury and Nifong is the one to do it. But if the case was to be dropped by an independent prosecutor, the outcome

would be the same as if it went to trial. Only one option is left in this election; Lewis Cheek. Steve Monks, as a Republican write-in candidate with little trial experience, has no chance of being elected. By selecting Cheek as DA, Durham residents can send a direct message to the governor that this county needs better. North Carolina Governor Mike Easley is no fool; he would not subvert the democratic process by reappointing Nifong or someone like him. The choice is clear. The Chronicle formally endorses Lewis Cheekfor district attorney.

older than many of j mon day, ITlOllday them, my respect has the morning wood only increased. Th.is weaken 'kf id f:eatured the last home football game, as well as many big parties on campus. Headlining the weekend was the always-fun Reggae Jam where the beer flowed like wine and the air had a hint of green to it. Let’s just say the letter of the night was “L.” Next on the docket was, of course, Dan-A-Palooza, continuing in the theme of the armed forces. He’s back, ladies, and this time, he’s disease free. Lord knows I wish I could say the same about myself with confidence... Thus, there was heavy drinking afoot. Those who were sober were either in the library or hung-over. I’m glad no one of authority reads this column... Anyway, as the weekend progressed, I began to notice a common theme betwieen all those suave cadets that Td never realized before; D’em boys can’t drink wortha crap. I guess I always just assumed that being such manly men, these guys would be tanks at a bar. I guess they don’t get that much time to party, so they don’t have much practice, but watching an 85-pound girl out-chug three cadets is both amazing and terrifying at the same time. I mean, do we really feel safe being protected by guys who can’t drink four beers without falling on their faces? What if the enemy captures them and subjects them to repeated shots of tequila? They’d be giving away strategic information and crying about their ex-girlfriends in a matter of minutes. By midnight Friday, half the boys in white I saw were legitimately passed out. I was standing next to one of them for about five minutes, and noticed he was slightly swaying. I’d met him earlier in the night, so I finally spoke up and asked if he was alright. He stared blankly at me, took one more sip of his not-so-freshly-poured beer, and almost instantly blacked out. I actually saw it happen, and he fell flat on his back. I thought that sort of thing only happened in the movies. And all I could think at the time was, “we’re damn lucky the English pulled an upset special over the ;

Spanish Armada.” But I gotta hand it to those boys. They were up and at it for the football game Saturday, dressed to impress, sparkin’ b#s% A &s’ interests. Makes me almost wish I had some discipline myself. Ehh... I take that back. But the nice thing about the tailgate is that we all

united in support of one team. Imagine if a bunch of Tar Heels showed up at K-ville before the Duke-UNC game. They’d be beaten senselessly. Well, maybe not, but at least they’d be chanted at for a while until they got too annoyed to stay. Duke, Duke mothaf—a! This couldn’t have been less true about the cadets, however. The mix of our liking of the Navy guys, the rowdiness of the last tailgate, and the overall indifference toward our own football program formed an atmosphere of pride. Everyone just kicked it and enjoyed the day. I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt who said “A good Navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace.” Damn straight. And when the jets flew overhead before the kick-off, everyone was cheering. Then the game started, and our pride instantly transformed into embarrassment. Sorry you had to witness that, boys. And yes, we do play in the ACC.

Everyone just kicked it and enjoyed the day. I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt who said “A good Navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace.” Damn straight. Now, all that said, let me be the first to say, get the hell out of here. I hate to be a jerk about it, because they all seemed like such good guys, but ever since I saw the first white uniform, it’s been freezing. I’m very superstitious about this kinda stuff, and we’re not ready to deal with the cold yet. I’m just not ready to give up. Also, they can’t be bangin’ round my hood too long. The girls go crazy for them. Half the girls at the tailgate were wearing some sort ofNaval clothing article. Heck, even I got a little rubber kneed when one of those gentlemen flashed a dimpled, toothy smile, and I’m straighter than Neil Patrick Harris (and he did lines off a stripper’s rack out the top of a car’s sunroof). So, as always, it was fun seeing you, Navy. Let’s do this more often. Maybe next time we’ll visit you. I loved the movie Crimson Tide.

The Morning Wood will only he at half-mast this week to mourn the departure of the cadets. Tom Segal was putting limes in his drinks all weekend in an attempt to prevent scurvy. Here’s hoping.

Duke lacrosse: a call to action

There

Column based on assumptions Jamie Deal s Nov. 2 column, “Diversity of thought over color, is an example of a persistent ignorance some have about racial diversity. I’m going to skip some problems with his argument, such as how he praises study abroad and says, “students go abroad to experience the people of another country,” but ultimately writes off the importance of diversity on campus. I will also forget his ridiculous concluding argument that “birds of a feather flock together.” The fundamental flaw is that Deal is apparently not a minority student, so he is arguing the merits of diversity based on his narrow experience and assumptions. Personally, I was uncomfortable with my white, Greek-affdiated FAC and felt alienated by the lack of a strong Hispanic presence on campus as well as by the apparent apathy or ignorance most have about diversity. I think other students feel similarly. I hope the Study Abroad program does do more about diversity because, as Deal wrote, “the expense... and other factors preclude many minority students.” I wish the FAC program would begin focusing on diversity so minority freshmen feel less like aliens in a bubble-world where people don’t think culture or racial identity will contribute anything significant. Deal isn’t the person diversity helps the most. It’s not a priority because white people need to be given the full range of the ethnic rainbow. It’s a priority because minority students should feel welcome in a mature academic environment, and because everyone should have equal opportunities to experience what Duke has to offer. I don’t feel comfortable putting things in terms of race, or bringing up my race here. But, as Deal writes in the column, these disparities do exist. I just hope that Deal and people like him realize this shouldn’t be written off because of what he decides is the minority experience. These are disparities that can indeed be fixed, but only once his flock moves away from selfcentered ignorance. Nicole Nelson Trinity ’O9

Remembrance: Maria Whitehead I did not know Maria very well, but I will never forget her. I am from Winston-Salem, and I went to lots of Wake Forest field hockey games when Maria was on the team. She was a great player. She was quick and smart and dynamic and she made things happen. I loved watching her play. I went to Wake field hockey camp for several summers and I always wanted to be on Maria’s team; everyone did. We all thought she was so cool because she had an eyebrow ring. We wanted to be like her because she was such a great field hockey player, and because there was just something about her that made her shine. You wanted to be around Maria and you wanted to be like her. I saw her a few times around campus this year and I wish I had introduced myself and told her that I loved watching her play, and that she in-

spired me. Watching her teammates, friends, coaches and colleagues file into the Duke Chapel for her me-

morial service, I am amazed at how many lives she touched during her too short life. I wish I had known her better, but I am lucky for knowing her at all. She was spectacular.

are few greater evils a person can suffer than to face trial for a heinous crime he did not commit. In civilized society, and in America more than all other nations, we make every reasonable effort to prevent the occurrence of this horror. When it

does happen,

it is

largely the sad prod-

■

uct of bizarre circumstance—where the evi-

dence simply points in the wrong direction. But the evidence in the lacrosse rape Stephen miller case does not point v c to miller time the men who are factrial. Even more ing stunning, it not only fails to implicate Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty or David Evans but in fact supports the opposite claim—that these men are innocent of the crime for which they have been accused, arrested, indicted and arraigned. Our fellow students are not on trial because of evidence, but in spite ofit. This is a moral, social and legal outrage. It is an assault on our peers, our community and the core values of our nation. To successfully unleash this depraved injustice, it seems our DA has managed to go against criminal procedure, legal precedent, constitutional protections, hundreds of years of common law and thousands of years ofethics tracing back to the Old Testament. Nifong must have confused America with a police ..

state.

Let’s quickly review the record: Nifong made it clear to the world that he believed the alleged victim even though he never spoke to the woman about the events of that night. He defrauded the court telling them the sweeping DNA tests he wished to perform would “immediately rule out any innocent persons,” but then decided DNA didn’t matter. He speculated that no DNA was present because the players might have used condoms even though the alleged victim claimed no condoms were used. He withheld from the court the feet the alleged victim hadfoiled to identify her alleged attackers in a photolineup. He tossed aside procedure and used a lineup without non-suspect fillers. He refused to hear powerful exculpatory evidence from Seligmann’s attorney before indicting him. The alleged victim identified one student as an attacker who wasn’t in Durham that night. She has given accounts of the alleged rape with Stephen Miller is a Trinity senior. His column runs every varying numbers of alleged attackers and one ver- other Monday.

sion where she was only groped. Some have said she was drinking that night while on a powerful muscle relaxant, Flexeril, which is not supposed to be combined with alcohol. The second exotic dancer, Kim Roberts, contradicted the alleged victim’s version of events and also claimed that the alleged victim asked her to mark up her body on the night in question. One person’s semen was found in the rape kit—that of the accuser’s boyfriend, which begs a simple but crucial question: How do three men brutally gang rape a woman without condoms and sanitize the area in such away as to leave not a single spec of their DNA but to preserve her boyfriend’s from a previous sexual encounter? If anyone should be on trial here it’s Mike Nifong. Yet he’s leading in the polls, with a massive 6-1 margin over Cheeks in the black community in a recent News & Observer/WRAL poll. If the voters won’t put a stop to this, then who will? This travesty has been allowed to continue because we live in a nation paralyzed by racial paranoia. It’s not that leaders don’t recognize this is an injustice the same way they would if the races were reversed—it’s that because this case has been turned by professors, activists and of course Nifong himself into a white vs. black issue, they are terrified that their efforts to put a stop to Nifong’s crusade would be perceived negatively by the black community and that there would be a political price to pay. And these political concerns trump their commitment to justice. So it us up to us, the Duke community. First, all who are registered to vote in Durham need to vote for Cheek tomorrow. The only justifiable vote is a vote to oust Nifong. Second, everyone—staff, students, parents, alumni, faculty, trustees—need to demand that President Richard Brodhead do what he has thus far refused to do: criticize Nifong and implore the state provide a fair rendering of justice for his students. Duke is a vital institution in Durham and very important to North Carolina. IfBrodhead chose to use his influence it would have a significant impact. But first, we must use ours, on him. So call his office or send an e-mail. Tell him he can’t just wait out a trial. When the process is corrupt supporting that process only furthers the corruption. Tell him the rights ofReade, Collin and David matter more than his fear of radical faculty. Tell him he must take a stand. There is no easy refuge, no safe middle ground between Justice and injustice. President Brodhead, make your choice —will you protect your students? Or will you stand by as the flame draws ever nearer the stake?

Blue Devils win title in final fall tourney by

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

The two-time defending national champion Blue Devils captured their second tournament victory of the season over the weekend at the Hooters Match Play Championship in Orlando, Fla. Second-seeded Duke topped South Carolina, Florida State and Michigan State before advancing to the finals Sunday, which the Blue Devils won in a tightly contested 3-2 matchup over fourthseeded Vanderbilt. “The thing I liked the most about this tournament is everybody contributed on the golf course substantially and also off the course, creating quite a winning atmosphere,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “If there was ever a tournament I felt we were going to win because of our attitude, this was it.” The Blue Devils sealed the win with victories from sophomores Amanda Blumenherst and Jennie Lee and a commanding 7-and-6 win from freshman Alison Whitaker, who finished the tournament a perfect 4-0 in her pairings. “[Whitaker] has a strong will and the ability to stay positive,” Brooks said. “She went into this tournament talking about how much she loved match play, and liking something a lot and doing well go hand in hand.” The freshman’s stellar performance almost went for naught, however, as Duke was tied 2-2 in the semifinals Saturday against Michigan State with senior cap-

tain Anna Grzebien heading to a playoff decide which team would advance to the finals. Grzebien, the 2005 NCAA individual title winner, and the Spartans’ Laura Kueny traded leads throughout the afternoon and were all square when they finished their 18th-hole, forcing a suddendeath playoff. The two players each carded pars on the first playoff hole, but on the second, a 156-yard par three, the Blue Devil senior landed her tee shot within feet of the cup and tapped in for birdie to send Duke to the tournament finals. “She’s a clutch player, she can do it when it counts,” Brooks said. “It was an amazing shot, probably the best one at the tournament.” The victory is the first for the Blue Devils since they opened their season with a win at the Mason Rudolph Championship. It comes after a seventh-place finish at the Stanford Pepsi Women’s Intercollegiate, in which Duke was without Blumenherst and Lee, who were competing in the 2006 Women’s World Amateur Team Championship in South Africa. Duke has now concluded the fall part of its schedule and will be out ofaction until the 2006-2007 season resumes at the Wildcat Invitational in Tucson, Ariz. Feb. 26. “It’s always good to have a win to end the season,” Brooks said. “To be able to pull everybody back together this weekend and get a win heading into the winter is really great.” to

Junior Carrie DeMange led the Blue Devils with 15 kills Friday night at home against North Carolina.

Duke finishes off UNC with 4th-game surge by

Katie Riera

THE CHRONICLE

Drawing their biggest crowd of the year Friday night for a matchup with North Carolina, the Blue Devils did not disappoint, taking down the Tar Heels with a 3-1 victory. A packed student section at Cameron Indoor Stadium—comprising a majority of the 1,751 fans in UNC -1 attendance DUKE 3 cheered the Blue Devils on as Duke (21-3, 14-1 in the ACC) kept its top spot in the conference and bested its Tobacco Road rival. “This is probably the best crowd we’ve ever had here, which is amazing because when we were over at Carolina, the crowd was just as big,” junior Ali Hausfeld said, “We’re undefeated at home, so obviously the crowd really helps us here. We love playing in Cameron—it was so great to have so much support tonight.” With the win, the Blue Devils extended their home court win-streak to 28 and contributed a half a point to Duke’s 4.5-1.5 lead over North Carolina in the Carlyle Cup. “We’re excited to be able to get through that match and get another ‘W’ under our belt,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We’re really excited that we had the crowd here l-

that we did—the band, the cheerleaders, the Blue Devil and all that great stuff.” After taking the first game 30-21, Duke battled point for point with the Tar Heels (6-18, 441) in the second game. When North Carolina brought the score to within two at 24-22, Duke rallied for a 6-1 run to seal the game, 30-23. Game three also started as a back-andforth battle, but Duke let down as Carolina steadily accumulated a 28-23 lead. The Blue Devils, however, refused to give up and fought back to 29-26. Resounding kills by freshman Rachael Moss and sophomore Jourdan Norman brought the crowd to its feet and the score within one, but the Tar Heels were ultimately able to hold off the Blue Devils’ comeback and hold on for the 30-28 victory. “We were frustrated that we had given them that game and given them hope that they could come out and beat us because we really felt like we were the better team,” Hausfeld said. “They came out and played strong in game three, but we definitely knew that’s how we should be playing the whole game.” Duke regrouped and regained its momentum in the fourth game to blow out the SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 6

vision II Anderson in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Lady Trojans turned the ball over 45 times while mustering only 37 points against a relentless Blue Devil defense. “I was very pleased with our energy,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought our defense overall was good.” Duke converted Anderson turnovers into 53 points, and the Blue Devils only turned the ball over 12 times themselves. Duke used a full-court press throughout the game, trapping Anderson ball-handlers effectively to set up easy transition buckets. Senior center Alison Bales led Duke with 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocks. Sophomore guard Abby Waner added 16 points and four of the Blue Devils’ 29 steals. The two players contributed while only playing 21 and 20 minutes, re-

spectively.

Duke utilized its bench effectively, getting 48 points from its reserves, including 11 points apiece from junior guard Emily Waner and freshman forward Bridgette Mitchell. Mitchell also led the bench with eight rebounds in her first collegiate game. “It’s really exciting,” Mitchell said. “There were a few early jitters, but overall, it was very exciting. I can’t wait for more.” The constant rotation of the Blue Devils’ reserves into the lineup—no Duke player played more than 22 minutes—al-

love the style of play as well.” Despite the lopsided score, the team said there is room for improvement. Offensively, the Blue Devils struggled finishing near the basket, especially with layups. Duke will focus heavily on this in upcoming practices, problem Goestenkors said. “Sometimes when you get up by a lot, you tend to lose focus,” Abby Waner said. “That’s something we need to work on, because we can’t afford to lose our focus against better teams.” Nevertheless, the Blue Devils demonstrated their talent and depth by making life miserable for the Anderson offense. Duke held the Lady Trojans to two points for more than nine minutes in the first half. Anderson managed just five field goals in the first half and 11 field goals in the entire game.

NOTES: Absent from the Blue Devil lineup Sunday was center Chante Black. The junior is still rehabilitating a hyper-extended right knee, and she hopes to return to practice next week.... With their next exhibition game against Premier Players Thursday, the Blue Devils hope to continue their defensive dominance. While Duke wants to improve its offensive execution, it will not open up its offensive playbook yet. “It was different playing games like tonight, because we didn’t have to execute as much,” Bales said. “It was refreshing.”

Duke’s defense gave up 435 yards on the ground to the second-best rushing offense in the nation. Navy quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada attempted just four passes in his second career start but rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. “I’m certainly not at all pleased with this performance,” head coach Ted Roof said. “They executed well, and I don’t think we tackled very well.” Duke got off to a promising start, marching 70 yards in just five plays for an opening-drive touchdown. Thaddeus Lewis completed a play-action pass to Eron Riley for 38 yards to advance the Blue Devils to Navy’s one-yard line. Sophomore Re’quan Boyette punched in the score on the next play, but Joe Surgan missed the extra point, and Duke led by just six. Navy did not stay behind long, driving 72 yards on 11 straight running plays to go ahead, 7-6. The Midshipmen scored 38 unanswered points after Duke’s opening touchdown, courtesy of a triple option running attack that the Blue Devil defense was never able to slow.

conversions, helped largely by the fact that they had only two third downs requiring more than five yards. “It’s a goal of ours to get off the field on third down, especially when you’ve got those third-and-two, third-and-three situations,” linebacker Codey Lowe said. “And when they pick up five or six yards on a third down, it’s awful.” Duke continued to hurt its chances with poor special teams play and cosdy penalties. In addition to Surgan’s missed extra point and a blocked field goal, Navy’s second touchdown was set up by Reggie Campbell’s 44-yard return of a short Alex Feinberg punt to Duke’s 25-yard line. The Blue Devils also had six penalties for 52 yards, including a personal foul that led to

sophomore defensive end Greg Akinbiyi’s ejection early in the fourth quarter. “Most of it was self-inflicted—we had penalties, stupid penalties, and we ran the wrong assignments,” wideoutEron Riley said. After holding Miami to just three points and negative-19 yards rushing in the second half of a 20-15 defeat Oct. 21, Duke’s defense has been shredded in back-to-back weeks. The Blue Devils gave up 512 yards to Vanderbilt last Saturday and allowed 25 first downs to Navy. “This is a setback,” Roof said. “We’ve had a couple setbacks, but that’s part of any growth process. That’s certainly not what we’re sitting here and saying is acceptable, because it’s not. We’ve got to do better, and we will.”

ROB GOODLATTE/THE CHRONICLE

Duke's defense was no match for Navy's triple option as theMidshipmen rushed for 435 yards Saturday.

Duke's wideouts were once again plagued by procedural penalties Saturday's 38-13 loss to Navy.

“We challenged the offense before the game,” Roof said. “We said, ‘OK, if we win the toss and get the football, you guys are going to score.’” Duke did win the toss Saturday afternoon, and the Blue Devils quickly knifed through Navy’s defense for a score just two minutes into the game. For a brief moment, it appeared as if the Blue Devils’ slow-start troubles were a problem of the past. But with the scoreboard reading “Duke 6, Navy 0,” placekicker Joe Surgan missed the extra point wide right. From there, the Blue Devils never looked like the same team that executed so well on the first drive. “I thought that was a little bit of a momentum deal for us,” Roof said of the missed extra point. Many of the same mistakes that have plagued Duke all season —including kicking woes, procedural penalties on offense and poor tackling on defense—ultimately flattened any chance of beating Navy. After Navy’s triple option ripped through Duke’s defense for a touchdown on its first offensive drive, the Blue Devil offense was backed up by a holding penalty and an illegal shift called on wideout Raphael Chestnut. The first-and-25 situation led to a short punt that was returned 44 yards to Duke’s 25-yard line, and the Midshipmen punched it in for a touchdown soon after. Duke was flagged for yet another procedural penalty on its next drive for an ineligible receiver downfield. After another Alex Feinberg punt, Navy scored again to go up, 21-6. Although Roof may not have agreed with the calls, this was not the first time this

season Duke’s wideouts have been called for procedural penaldes. When Duke made its comeback bid against a talented but undermanned Miami team, the Blue Devils were whistled twice on the final drive for having an ineligible man downfield. Wideout Eron Riley said the team had worked on making sure such penalties would not occur, but poor communication with the game officials may have contributed to the penalties being called. By the time the offense got itselfback in synch, the Midshipmen were already up 24-6 with time winding down in the first half. Duke’s offense drove down the field aiming to make it a two-score game heading into the break. In stepped Surgan, who continued his mercurial season with another blocked field goal attempt. Surgan’s 29-yard attempt which Roof said looked like it might have come out low—was the kicker’s third blocked field goal of the season. The sophomore has missed three of his 10 point-after attempts this year and has connected-on just three ofhis nine field-goal tries. With the Blue Devils’ struggling in peripheral aspects of the game, Navy took advantage of Duke’s defense. After the first drive, the game’s result never appeared in question. While Duke continues on its winless 2006 campaign, the answers have not come easily for the team’s coaches or players. ‘We’re still coming out and playing our hardest,” Riley said. “We just have to make plays when we have the opportunity to—a dropped pass here, a bad ball there, a missed block or tackle—we’re not making plays when they’re coming to us.” —

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Duke cruises past N.C. Central in final tuneup by

Meredith Shiner THE CHRONICLE

Four minutes into Saturday’s game and with the score tied 6-6, freshman Jon Scheyer drained a three from the top of the key. The very next play, DeMarcus Nelson stole the ball, passing it off at halfcourt to Gerald Henderd!IE (R[IL son, who fed Josh DUKE 92 Mcßoberts for a monster onehanded dunk that brought the crowd of 9,314 to its feet. N.C. Central called a timeout, and the Blue Devils never looked back en route to a 92-63 victory in their final exhibition game in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Scheyer, along with Nelson and fellow freshman Brian Zoubek, led Duke’s balanced scoring attack with 14 points each on a night when five Blue Devils scored in double figures. Despite what the scoreboard read, however, Duke was still plagued by small mental mistakes that need to be worked out before the regular season, head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We made mental errors—not knowing team foul situations. Three times we made good plays when we were almost out of bounds, we should’ve called timeout. Instead we threw the ball, and each time we threw it away,” Krzyzewski said. “Especially with our point guard out... we need to have more people thinking as a team in those situations.” The number offouls dictated the pace of the game as much as the Blue Devils’ tough defense, particularly in the first half. Fiftyfour fouls were called over the course of the game, including 29 in the first period alone. “It’s a disjointed game with so many fouls,” Krzyzewski said. “What happens then, especially with a young team, is you start thinking about what you were supposed to do—just you—instead of what we’re supposed to do.” The play of Duke’s freshmen was solid again, even in a game in which the team struggled to find its rhythm. Scheyer went 3-for-6 from behind the arc,

and Zoubek shot 75 percent from the field. “A lot of them have come in really strong—Gerald and Lance [Thomas] are so athletic, Brian is so big and Jon is just one of the toughest guys I’ve met,” sophomore forward Dave McClure said. “As long as they keeping coming everyday, with as hard as they’ve been playing, they’re going to pick it up fast. They’ve already shown tremendous growth.” The freshmen clocked a collective 92 minutes against N.C. Central, and the experience they gained on the court will help prepare them for the tougher road ahead. With seven games scheduled over a period of 16 days starting Nov. 12, Krzyzewski said he will need to monitor how the freshmen are dealing with so many games within a short time period for the first time in their careers. “It seems like because people follow us—we’ve won national championships and Final Fours and all that—we’re playing two exhibition games, and that’s nothing,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s the first two games for a lot of these kids. And so they are anxious. They are a little bit more tired.” But despite their relative inexperience, the freshmen continue to impress and earn the respect of their teammates. “They’re really ready to play right now —probably more ready to play at this point than we were as a freshmen,” sophomore Marty Pocius said. “Starting these two games for them, I think it’s a huge experience to handle that pressure, and they handled it well.” NOTES: Mcßoberts played another solid all-around game Saturday. The sophomore put up 13 points, going 4-for-8 from the floor, and pulled down nine rebounds in addition to handling the ball in transition.... The Blue Devils forced the Eagles into committing 27 turnovers and converted those opportunities into 34 points on the other end of the floor.“We’re scoring a lot of points off our defense, even though we’re not picking up as much full-court,” Krzyzewski said.

Tar Heels, 30-12. With the score 9-7 in the Blue Devils’ favor, Duke went on a 19-3 run to pull away and win the match. Moss had one of her best performances of the season, finishing the match with a career-high 23 kills and 20 digs. Setter Hausfeld evenly distributed her match-high 58 assists, as Norman, Carrie DeMange and Sue Carls each racked up double-digit kills with 11, 15 and 10, respectively. Duke dominated the net on the defensive end, finishing the night with a team total of 11 blocks to North Carolina’s two. Libero Jenny Shull anchored the defense with 23 digs, while sophomore Aana Wherry added 12 of her own. Duke continues its trek into the second half of the ACC schedule with a match against Wake Forest —which is currently fifth in the conference—at home Tuesday. “They’re a tough team,” Hausfeld said. “It’s good to build up this kind ofconfidence right n0w....

MARKED PRICE

After a strong showing at the Head of the Charles Regatta Oct. 22, the Blue Devils could not replicate its past successes at the Head of the Hooch Regatta in Chatanooga, Tenn. this weekend. The Blue Devils had won five of the past six overall team points trophies at the Head of the Hooch, but Duke could not take home the trophy this time around. Duke’s first varsity eight placed ninth out of 27 with a time of 16:13.9, just less than a minute and 22 seconds off Tennessee’s winning pace. Duke’s second varsity eight boat placed 22nd. The team’s second-day performances in individual events were stronger. Virginia Kane and Liz Martin won the gold medal in the open doubles race. Lia Hart captured the silver in the singles boat event, and a Duke boat captured the gold in the open quad event. Senior captain Emma Darling and head coach Robyn Horner said team members were upset at their first-day performance but managed to focus the frustration during a Saturday night team meeting. “The team realized the intensity we need to bring to the race course,” Horner said. “The coaching staff and the team were upset at the performances of the eights, and we reaffirmed what we wanted to accomplish and what it takes to get there.” The Head of the Hooch Regatta, held on the Tennessee River, is the largest southeastern head race. Duke competed in seven events. Darling said she believes the poor showing will provide motivation for next weekend’s Rivanna Romp in Charlottesville, Va. “We want to prove that we’re capable of much more than our results showed,” Darling said.

WOMEN'S TENNIS: Doubles team bows out from ITAs Duke left the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships disappointed after losing in the first round of doubles action Friday. The event, hosted by Ohio State, was held at The Racquet Club of Columbus Thursday through Sunday, with matches played in singles and doubles brackets. In Thursday’s main draw first round, the 25th-ranked doubles team of freshman Elizabeth Plotkin and senior Daniela Bercek was defeated by Stanford’s Celia Durkin and Jessica Nguyen, 8-3. “We just didn’t play very well,” Plotkin said. “It was the second tournament playing with my partner, so it was unpredictable how we would do. Everything that could have possibly went wrong went wrong.” The pair also fell, 8-2, in the first round of consolation play Friday to third-ranked Cat-

WRESTLING: Freshmen get off to quick start

JIANGHAI HO/THE CHRONICLE

In its first league meets of the season, the men's swimming and diving team won one and lost one.

Duke’s freshmen faced their first college-level competition this Saturday in the Citadel Tournament in Charleston, SC. While the tournament was billed as an opportunity for newcomers, several Division II teams brought their whole squads, escalating the level of talent that the youngest Blue Devils faced. Sophomore John Barone was Duke’s only champion, winning the 174-pound weight class, but strong play by the freshmen was encouraging for head coach Clar Anderson.

“This was a first go for our freshmen, and it was a very good introduction,” Anderson said. “They’re just getting used to it, but I was really pleased with how they responded.” Freshmen Robert Holbrook and Voris Tejada each finished third in their weight divisions, 197- and 157-pound, respectively, while fellow first-year Spencer Jasper finished fourth in the 133-pound class. Coach Anderson said he is pleased with the efforts of the team so far and is confident in the trajectory of the season. —John Schneider
