Students will be able to stand in the area directly behind the press row of Cameron Indoor Stadium during men’s basketball games, officials confirmed Thursday. A limited change in regulations and a new wristband system will also be implemented to accommodate the policy. Policies emerged earlier this month that banned undergraduates from standing in the first row behind the press during last week’s two exhibition games, due to enforced Duke Fire Safety regulations. Following the games, Duke Student Government, the Department of Athletics and University officials entered discussions to negotiate another policy change before the start of the regular season. “We were able to prove it was safe with [students] in there,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said. DSG President Elliott Wolf, a junior, said the missing front row was especially pronounced and the gap would be clearly visible on national television broadcasts. “You see the Cameron Crazies restraining themselves and that’s just not acceptable,” he said. The University was able to regain the front row for student fans because ofadditional provisions made to increase the

An NCAA report released Thursday said college athletes nationwide are graduating at higher rates than before, with Duke as the leading institution for student-athlete graduation rate. Duke’s administrators said the report —which was compiled from incoming freshman athletes in the 1999-2000 academic year —only confirmed the University’s position as a leader in academics and athletics. “I am delighted with the news,” President Richard Brodhead wrote in an email. “It strongly underlines Duke’s commitment to athletic excellence within a context of academic values and SEE NCAA ON PAGE 16

Although many have come to describe Duke culture with the phrase “work hard, play hard,” a movement on campus is now proposing a new saying: “work hard, play well.” The initiative, titled DukePlays by co-founders Rachel Weeks and Haley Hoffman, both seniors, looks to include all students in the social life at Duke. “We are not an official organization,” Weeks said. “We just had this idea that we felt spoke to a middle ground of students.” Weeks and Hoffman started their group to create a forum to discuss campus culture and the social life. “We’re still trying to define ourselves,” Weeks added.

WASHINGTON Reveling in their indisputable hold on Congress, Democrats Thursday cautiously embraced their Republican foes while conceding they now share the burden of governing. “Our joy today will vanish if we can't produce for the American people,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the chairman of the Senate Democratic campaign committee. At a raucous rally Thursday afternoon outside the Capitol, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada echoed the sentiment; “It’s time for results.”

But even as Democrats reached out to President George W. Bush and the GOP they also cautioned them not to test the limits of their goodwill. They expressed hope for Bush’s stalled immigration bill, but urged him to pick judicial nominees with care and suggested he back off from pressing for quick action on a contentious secret surveillance bill. “My message to the president would be; Send us moderate judicial candidates,” said Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate. “Don’t send us extreme candidates, because I think the president will run into trouble if he does.”

For Senate Democrats, it was a day to exult in their new majority. With control of the House already assured, Democrats sealed their Senate majority Thursday when Republican Sen. George Allen of Virginia conceded his race, clearing the way for Democrat Jim Webb to claim his seat. Two days after elections, Democrats and Republicans eyed each other carefully, arguing for bipartisanship even as they pressed their respective agendas.

The 18 dead was the highest Palestinian civilian toll in a single incident since the current conflict erupted in September 2000.

There has been a decline in the number of confiscated illegal drugs in Durham Public schools, according to the Annual Report on School Crime and Violence for the Public Schools of North Carolina. During the 2005-2006 school year, there were only 69 reported instances of possession of controlled substances, down from 102 in the 2004-2005 school year and 109 in 2003-2004. “We have been very aggressive in seeking out any kind of illegal drugs on campus, [which] has started to take effect as a preventative measure,” said John Colclough, principal of Northern High School. Northern saw a decrease in the amount of drugs confiscated between the 2004-2005 and the 2005-2006 school years. According to its website, Durham Public Schools “accepts its shared role with the community in addressing [substance abuse] by initiating a prevention and early intervention program and supporting referral and

Student athletes’ scholarships, schedules and academic success were on professors’ minds and lips Thursday afternoon. At an unusually brief meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council, faculty heard from Bradley Berndt, assistant athletics director, about the roles of academics and sports in the experiences of the University’s student athletes. Explaining that he wanted the meeting to be a conversation, Berndt discussed academic statistics and support programs. He also covered issues he termed “hot topics”: missed class time, major choices and admissions. “I really believe that the majority of our

students want to excel athletically, but they also want to excel academically,” Berndt said. The University’s 620 student athletes have a combined, cumulative grade point avergae above 3.0, he noted. Athletes’ graduation rate —excluding students who leave or transfer in good standing —is 97 percent. “That’s at the top of the ACC,” Berndt said. “That’s where we should be.” Several professors responded to Berndt’s call for dialogue, requesting more information on athletic funding and students’ time commitments. “Is athletics, as a function at Duke, selffinancing?” asked Chris Conover, assistant SEE A&S COUNCIL ON PAGE 10

Journalist traces life of African leader Tutu by

Yousef AbuGhareieh THE CHRONICLE

Few religious leaders have caused as much political change as Archbishop Desmond Tutu. South African journalist John Allen presented his latest book “Rabble Rouser for Peace: The Authorized Biography of Desmond Tutu” to a packed auditorium of students and faculty at the Divinity School Thursday night. Allen outlined Tutu’s life story to the audience, from his obscure roots to his position as a religious icon and anti-Apartheid leader in South Africa. Tutu’s unique oratorical style and talent for mobilizing crowds helped him earn a Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, and gave him a

leading role in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-Apartheid South Africa. Allen said that as a young man Tutu wanted to help others as a doctor—not a priest. Tutu, however, became a teacher because his family was too poor to send him to medical school. Soon after, he was forced out of teaching when the Apartheid government systematically nationalized the church schools in which blacks were educated. In place of the church schools, the government created a system of segregated schools “designed to educate blacks for a life of servitude,” Allen said. The nationalization of the schools was SEE

In addition, Joe Gonzalez, associate dean for residence life, announced that move-in day for the spring semester has been moved from Jan. 7 to Jan. 6. The change, Gonzalez said, was made to accommodate students who may be returning early to attend the men’s basketball game against Virginia Tech Saturday, Jan. 6. Council President Jay Ganatra, a senior, presented a new clause clarifying the process of replacing at-large representatives. “At-large members represent the general student body, which is a relatively recent concept,” Ganatra said. “We’ve never had away to keep them accountable or a method to replace them.” The new clause—drafted by the executive board—states that in the event an at-large representative resigns or is forced to vacate his or her position, the next highest at-large “vote-getter” from the last election will be offered the spot. If none of the previous candidates are available, then each Council member will nominate a candidate for the position. The executive board will then narrow the pool to three candidates, each of whom will be interviewed and voted on by the general body. The clause was approved unaniCampus

MARKETING from page 1 of higher education across the country. “It is perilous to say anything about a world as diverse as the world of higher education,” Kirp said. He said colleges and universities —including Duke and its peer institutions—are in constant competition. Lange said that certain competition among schools has a negative impact, citing the use of “amenities” like new gyms and facilities instead of education to draw students. He added, however, that competition has its positives as well. “We all watch each other about ways we can innovate in teaching,” Lange said. Kirp said he was critical of the emphasis placed on research rather than teaching for faculty at many top research universities. Lange said it would be foolish to deny there is a tension between research and teaching. “It is a very tricky problem and it is one we work on a lot,” Lange added. Universities are moving away from core curricula in an attempt to further marketability, Kirp said. But Lange said Duke is moving in the opposite direction and has recently increased the core requirements in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences.

Kirp also addressed the nature of change in higher education, saying universities are hard to change because faculty remain at an institution for long periods of time and often are resistant to adjustment. “Higher education is the most conservative institution, the hardest institution to change,” Kirp said. In response to questions from the audience about the affordability of education, Lange said tuition tends to be high largely to transfer cost and provide the necessary financial aid for students in lower income brackets.

“The education that you get costs more than the tuition that you pay,” Lange said. Kirp said the underrepresentation of students from lower income brackets at colleges and universities is still a serious problem. But he said Duke is “one of the few institutions that happens to be an exception to thatrule.” Students in the approximately 70-person audience said the discussion made an impression on them. “They did a nice job going back and forth, talking about issues on a national scale and how they apply to Duke,” freshman Megan Cheney said. Freshman Frank Jemison was one of several audience members, however, who thought the talk lacked resolution. “Kirp picked apart the University as a business without presenting any real solutions,” he said.

aspects of social life are better than others, it is attempting to broaden the definitionof play on campus, Hoffman said. “We think that in any community, you’ll see things that you want to improve,” she said. “We have this idea that we all just want to have fun, and we want to share that idea with others.” One of DukePlays’ main goals is to promote the idea that having fun on campus involves more than party hopping on weekend nights, Weeks said. “We have a lot more at Duke than going to frat parties,” she added. “We do that too—but we have standing room only at Inside Joke shows and student gatherings at the Nasher [Museum of Art].” DukePlays is also promoting the phrase “work hard, play well” across campus through posting flyers and handing out stickers. “I think that ‘work hard, play well’ doesn’t necessarily change the perception ofwhat we do on campus, but instead it diversifies what happens,” seniorBradford Morris said. Thursday night, the initiative hosted its first social event by inviting 50 students from different walks of the social scene to gather and talk about social life and fun, Weeks said. “It’s called a re-mixer, after the traditional fraternity or sorority mixer,” she added. “We’ve invited members from greek life, cultural groups and other social organizations across campus.” Students invited to the event said they anticipated discussing the implications of the phrase “work hard, play hard” and the current state ofDuke social life. “I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing,” said Morris, who was invited to the re-mixer. “But I do recognize that a lot of people are alienated by it.” Duke Plays has also planned a campus-wide event similar to elementary school recess, Hoffman said. “Next Friday, we’re inviting everyone to sit outside on the Chapel Quad, enjoy a brown-bag lunch and engage in some sort of fun,” she said, noting that there will be students reading, smoking hookah and playing frisbee. “Play is a lot of different things, and we want students to do whatever it is they do to play,” she said.

Under the revised regulations, all undergraduates entering the stadium will now receive a wristband to ensure that only accredited Duke students are in the undergraduate section. The change will go into effect beginning with this Sunday’s game against Columbia. Approximately 1,200 wristbands have been designated for students for the lower area of the stadium. Knipper added, however, that if student demand exceeds the lower-bowl capacity, some students may be seated in other sections of the stands. “We don’t want to say that we are limiting it to 1,200,” he said. “They may end up upstairs, they may end up in the graduate student section, but we are going to do everything we can to get everyone in.” Wolf said using the wristbands—distributed by DSG and funded by the Department of Athletics—will not result in a decrease in seating or capacity. “The procedure will remain the same the wristbands are being used just the way DukeCards were used [to track attendance],” he said. “There’s no planned limitation on the number of undergraduates to get into the game.” A greater number of Fire Safety staff members will be present at the games to ensure crowds do not obstruct main exits, which have been blocked in previous years by students, employees or vendors, Knipper said. —

For the first 2 games of the year, Crazies could not stand in the bleacher row directly behind the press. The regulations —which have existed for some time but had recendy become more lax —were coordinated between the University and the Durham Fire Marshal, who ensures that the stadium complies with state and county fire codes. “The fire marshal is quite content with where we are,” Trask said. “We’re going back as close to where we were as we can.” Wolf added that tent registration for Krzyzewskiville should not be affected under the new policy. “Before we got the front row back, we

Tutu’s intelligence and zeal earned him a recommendation to King’s College in London, England for further theological training. He returned prepared for a life of work within the Church. “[He was] politically aware, but not politically active,” Allen said. Allen added thatTutu became an activist after witnessing peaceful student demonstrators mauled by police dogs in 1968. “The terrified group of students was surrounded by the police and dogs, and suddenly Tutu broke through, to be with the students,” Allen said, adding that Tutu believed he was obligated to be an activist from that moment on. In the late 1970 s and 1980s, Tutu became one of the principal leaders in the anti-Apartheid movement. Because of his position as a clergyman, Tutu was able to openly criticize the South African government in away few others could. “He was exceptional because he was willing to speak out no matter what the consequences,” Allen said. “He had away with words, and wasn’t willing to compromise his language when speaking to whites—he could get under their skin.” The symbolic importance ofTutu’s legacy goes beyond his role as a political activist. “He is an example that shows how the gospel of Jesus Christ should react under oppression... he became an example for other ministers to use non-violence against brutal, oppressive systems,” said Ellis Carson, a first-year Divinity student.

East Campus officials said Wednesday they were unaware of water problems at Blackwell, Epworth and Randolph.

WATER from page 3 water is particularly troublesome because of the change of season. “I think it’s ridiculous,” said freshman Shikha Kapil, a resident of Blackwell. “I can’t function in the morning without a hot shower, and all I have is cold water.” Although Blackwell has the most extreme case ofcold water, residents ofRandolph and Epworth said they have experienced difficulties getting their showers to comfortable temperatures. “It doesn’t get as hot as it used to,” said freshman Rayni Rabinovitz, a resident of Randolph. “If it does [get hot], it’s for a split second and then it just gets colder.” Lisa Beth Bergene, East Campus’ assistant dean for residence life, and Jeanne Duncan, manager of residential facilities, said they both had recently returned to campus, and that they were unaware of

problems.

Had the process worked ideally, RLHS would have repaired the plumbing issues within a few days, Bergene said. “[Complaints] come from a lot of sources of people,” she said. “If there’s an RA, they tell the East [Campus] housing office directly. If there’s a student, they may tell an RA, but I haven’t heard anything about this.” Duncan said she was unsure why hot water would be an issue in the affected dormitories. “To the best of my understanding the systems at Duke are naturally equipped with what are called flow restrictors to help reduce the volume of water so you have enough water to bathe and shower,” she

Some students and RAs said the problem was not a significant issue. Sophomore Whitney Stewart, an RA in Blackwell, said she did not report the water temperature issues to RLHS. “[The water] hasn’t really affected me,” Stewart said. “I usually go in when no one else is in the shower, and [a lack of hot water] usually happens when there’s a bunch of [people] in the shower.” Senior Teni Adedipe, an Epworth RA, said she had only heard brief complaints, but added that the hot water did not affect her and that she chose not to report it to RLHS. “I lived in Jarvis [Dormitory] for a few years and we almost never had hot water,” she said. “I’ve kind of gotten accustomed to it.” Some students similarly remained unphased by the sporadic water temperature. “I usually shower very quickly because at home we only have one bathroom,” said freshman Teresia Precht, a resident of Blackwell. “I don’t find it as annoying as other people do.” Some freshmen said they have resigned themselves to the fact that chilly showers may just be another hurdle in college life. “It’s been [happening] maybe for a couple of weeks,” said freshman Christina Azimi, a Blackwell resident. “I know that it’s not something that can really be helped. Maybe we’re just getdng used to it though.”

CAMPUS COUNCIL from page 4 absence policy to allowing each member three absences per year. “What if it’s just one representative who’s getting- all the absences?” he asked. “It doesn’t seem fair to punish the whole council.” Zaidi. explained the reasoning behind the discrepancies between the campuses. “When the quad representative is missing, that quad has no voice [at that week’s meeting],” he said. Zaidi noted that because there are multiple representatives from Central and East, their absence will not have same effect. Ganatra cited another reason for not implementing individual absences for those representatives. “If only individuals are punished, there is no impact on their council,” he said.

In other business: Campus Council has agreed to give $1,860 to the expanding devilDVD program, matching the fund allocation from Duke Student Government, Zaidi said.

Gibson said. “It’s the parents’ responsibility to see if their children are using illegal substances.” A decrease in the number of reported cases of illegal drug possession may or may not indicate a decline in the actual amount of drug abuse. “On the topic of a decrease in illegal drugs, I’m pleased to hear the report, but have a reservation on whether that’s a reflection of a decline in drug usage among our school population,” Gibson wrote in an e-mail. Others agreed that the data can be interpreted multiple ways. “What you do need to keep in mind is that [the number of] possession crimes [is a result of] detection measures, how much you are trying,” said Ken Gattis, senior research and evaluation coordinator at the Department of Public Instruction, which compiled the report. Some students who get caught in the possession of drugs were originally searched for other reasons, so the numbers may also mean that fewer are getting into trouble and getting their book bags searched in the first place, Gattis said. Some are optimistic about the statistics. ‘You’re going to see better attendance, our participation in class will go up and the success of our students will definitely be on the rise in direct correlation with the decrease in drug use,” Colclough said. “I’m hopeful that it’s a trend that will continue.”

At the A&S meeting, Bradley Berndt said balancing academic and athletic obligations is a 'constant battle.'

A&S COUNCIL from page 3 research professor of public policy. Berndt said the Department ofAthletics brings in about 90 percent ofits budget each year, and University subsidies cover the rest. These subsidies are smaller at Duke than at many colleges without revenue sports programs, he added. “The subsidy at Princeton was much larger... even though there are no scholarships [there],” said George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences, who was formerly on the faculty ofPrinceton University. McLendon said the channels through which athletics funding passes are more complicated than many faculty might realize. Some council members questioned the limitations practice time and competitions place on students’ ability to study abroad and to complete academic work, particularly in language and lab classes. “I had six football players last year, and they were lovely fellows, but they did have to practice five or six hours a day,” said

Caroline Bruzelius, Anne M. Cogan professor of art and art history. Berndt noted that the National College Athletics Association limits mandatory practices to 20 hours per week. Still, he acknowledged that officially optional commitments sometimes lead students to miss review sessions and decide against studying abroad. He noted that the sports teams that cause students to miss the most class time—golf and tennis—also have the highest CPAs. Council chair Lee Baker, associate professor of cultural anthropology, praised Berndt for prioritizing academics in his office’s work with students, coaches and faculty. “He’s been a real sort of bridge between the faculty and the athletics department,” Baker said Berndt concluded by describing balancing academic and athletic obligations as “a constant battle... because athletics gives [students] immediate gratification in away that the degree sometimes does not.”

Duke dominated the adidas Premier Players 96-47 in its PREMIER 47 f mai exhibition DUKE 96 contest in preparation for its season opener at home Saturday against Northeastern at 2 p.m. Duke came out of the gate strong, scoring 13 points in the first three minutes of the game.

Led by 16-point efforts from Bales and sophomore guard Abby Waner, Duke never trailed at any point in the game. The Blue Devils used their last exhibition game to continue to work out their revamped motion offense, which features more screens and scoring opportunities for their guards. “I was trying to attack as much as I can, come off some screens,” guard Wanisha Smith said. I was just trying to attack and get to the free throw line. Despite scoring nearly 100 points, the Blue Devils had isolated struggles on offense, shooting 18.2 percent from the three-point line in the first half. Duke also turned the ball over 19 times. “

scrimmage and two exhibition games, Duke is finally ready to play its first regularseason game of the season. The Blue Devils host Columbia in the first round of the CBE Classic Sunday at 8:30 p.m. “It feels like I’ve been here forever, and I haven’t even played a game yet,” freshman Jon Scheyer said. “I’m just looking forward to getting started. We have to bring it now—it’s going to be intense.” The biggest question heading into the season-opener continues to be the status of point guard Greg Paulus, who has missed both exhibition games with a foot injury. Paulus returned to practice Wednesday, but whether he will play against Columbia Sunday night will be a game-time decision. “There is a chance of [Paulus] playing,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “After a few days, we’ll make a decision.” Scheyer leads a quartet of Duke freshmen that will be playing the first regular-season game of their college careers. Scheyer has been impressive while filling in for Paulus, scoring 31 points in the two exhibition games against Shaw and N.C. Central. “When Greg was out, I wasn’t trying to be Greg—that’s not who I am,” Scheyer said. “Greg is a special player.... Sunday, whether Greg’s back or not, I have to be ready for both positions. And if he’s back, he makes me a lot better, and I’m going to try to make him better.” SEE M. BASKETBALL ON PAGE 14

When Duke takes the field in Chestnut Hill, Mass, against No. 22 Boston College Saturday night, it will take the nation’s longest losing streak—17 games—along with it. The Blue Devils have also failed to defeat a ranked opponent since 1994—a span of 32 contests —and have JSsmg not beat an opponent on the road outside North Carolina since 1999. VS. Despite Duke’s 0-9 record this season (0-5 in the ACC), the Blue Devils SATURDAY, 7 p.m. have performed relatively Chestnut Hill, Mass, well against some highprofile opponents. In their games against Alabama and Miami, the Blue Devils put up solid offensive numbers and took both big-name programs to the wire. “We have more focus against the better teams, and we come out and execute a little bit better,” wideout Jomar Wright said. “Our coaches do a real good job of telling us not to take anybody easily, but then again, players have their own ways of thinking.” Eagles head coach Tom O’Brien is also aware of Duke’s relative success against good teams this season. “It seems the bigger the opponent, the better they play,” O’Brien said. “If we qualify as a big opponent, we will get their best game. We have to be ready to play.” • Going into this season, the Eagles (7-2, 3-2) were not expected to make much noise in the ACC. The team had graduated nine senior starters —four of whom were drafted in the first four rounds of the NFL

But the play of quarterback Matt Ryan, who has completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 2,063 yards this season, put Boston College in a position to take control of the Atlantic Division entering last weekend’s game against Wake Forest The Eagles ended up losing the game, 21-14, but Ryan threw for 402 yards—a career high. Duke has struggled against the pass this season, ranking 10th in the conference. The Blue Devils have also allowed 18 touchdown passes—the most in the ACC. Saturday, Duke will need another strong effort to have a chance to beat Boston College, which ranks second in the conference with 369.7 yards per game on offense. “They are very solid in every phase,” head coach Ted Roof said. “They don’t give up big plays on defense, and they are very efficient throwing the ball.” At certain times, like the first half against Alabama and the second half versus Miami, Duke has outplayed its opponent. The team also showed signs of life against Wake Forest and Vanderbiltbut has yet to put a whole game together. “We just have to find away to put it all together at the same time,” Roof said. “We have to play a complete football game.” With the game on ESPNU, Roof said his team is hungrier than it has been all year and wants to put itself in a position to win on national television—the first time this season that the Blue Devils will be seen nationally. “Our guys keep coming back,” Roof

Church said although the team creates quality chances in games, it needs to execute them against a tough Louisville squad. “Louisville’s got a very good defense,” Church said. We need to run hard through the box and just take a second, compose ourselves and just finish our scoring opportunities. We’ve worked on that all year—at times it’s been there and at times it hasn’t.

Duke had earned a College Cup bid for the past 12 years. “Thinking we might not even get in, that was something that I haven’t felt in my four years here,” senior Sarah McCabe said. “It was scary, it was weird—it was almost embarrassing because I think that we have such a great program here. And to be not even in the postseason is something that I didn’t want to have to say about my team.” Facing what could be their final game together this season, the Blue Devils are ready to show Louisville that, despite their season so far, they deserve a spot in the top 32. “There’s a lot of emotions, and we’re justreally excited to be able to play and play together one last time,” senior captain Darby Kroyer said. “It’s 90 minutes, and we’re just going to leave it all out there and play our hardest.”

With only six games left before postseason play, the games diis weekend are important not only for putting two more wins in the victory column but also for preparing for the NCAA tournament. “We have to come out to play,” junior Carrie DeMange said. “We can’t just play well one weekend; we have to be at our best all the time. It gets us ready for the NCAA tournament.” Although there is a lot of pressure in playing four of their last six games of the regular season on the road—particularly with so much at stake—the Blue Devils are confident in their ability to perform. “I love crowds,” DeMange said. “We turn it into a fun environment. We know to come together and laugh off what the crowd says. Above it all, we’re in it together.”

road stretch against Maryland (11-14, 412) tonight at 7 TONIGHT, 7 p.m. pm., followed College Park, Md. by a match at Boston College (9-16, 7-9) Sunday atT2 p.m. “Since we’re at the top of the ACC, we’re a really big target,” freshman Rachel Moss said. “We have everything to lose, and every team we play is going to play as hard as they can.” The main obstacle Duke faces is the venue of both games—all three of the Blue Devils’ losses this season have come on the road. Duke’s sole ACC loss came at Georgia Tech Oct. 27 after having defeated the Yellow Jackets earlier this year at home. The Blue Devils, however, are not intimidated by the prospect of entering two hostile environments. “This team has had experience dealing with crowds,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “They thrive on difficult environments and rise to the occasion.” Duke hopes to utilize its experience to improve upon last year’s showing at Maryland, when the Terrapins swept the Blue Devils.

“Tonight we had some miscues that we could do a better job widi,” headcoach Gail Goestenkors said. “We need to take advantage of the opportunities we are given.” Duke did capitalize on the opportunities it created on defense, though, as the team forced 33 turnovers and converted them into 40 points. The Blue Devils also had 17 steals over the course of the game, and Bales anchored Duke’s interior defense with four blocks. Two of the newest Blue Devils, Joy Cheek and Bridgette Mitchell, performed well in preparation for their first real collegiate game. Cheek had 14 hardearned points on the inside while Mitchell scored 13. Cheek, the 6-foot-l forward, said her relatively small stature gives her an advantage in one-on-one matchups against taller opponents. “As a smaller post, I am going to be playing a lot of bigger girls who aren’t as quick as I am,” Cheek said. “In high school I played on the wing and drove, so it’s not anything new for me.... But I think that’s my advantage—to get there on the high post and go past the bigger

girls.”

Cheek and Mitchell’s solid play showed that the pair of McDonald’s All-Americans have had little trouble getting involved in the game. Cheek said she is learning new things about the team’s style of play and her teammates every day. ‘You learn a lot as you go.” Cheek said. “I’m picking up on a lot of things—the little things on the court.” Even Lindsey Harding, one of the team’s two seniors, said the exhibition games allowed her to become more comfortable with her new teammates. “This is a totally different team from last year and the years before,” Harding said. “So, [l’m] just feeling everything out, seeing what our new pieces are. Also, I think its really good for the freshmen and underclassmen to gain some confidence before the season starts.” Saturday’s matchup will start a challenging non-conference slate that pits the Blue Devils against national powers Rutgers, Tennessee and Texas, and Duke is chomping at the bit to get the season started. “I just thought that we had good energy, once again,” Goestenkors said. “I’m pleased with the overall performance and just ready to start the real games.” SARA

With Greg Paulus' status for Sunday still yet to be determined, Jon Scheyer could see action at the point.

M.BBALL from page 11 Scheyer isn’t the only Blue Devil anxious to start the season. Junior DeMarcus Nelson, the elder statesmen of Duke’s inexperienced roster, hopes to bounce back from an injury-plagued sophomore campaign. “It was a very long, very hard off-season and summer for me to get physically back to a good spot,” Nelson said. “It’s very exciting to get to this point as far as health-wise. Now it’s just time for the games to begin.” Nelson, one of three captains along with Paulus and Josh Mcßoberts, feels the team is starting to come together. “We have a very unselfish team that is looking to make the extra pass,” Nelson said. “Our chemistry is going very well just guys have to be ready to shoot and make the extra pass.” Paulus’ return—either Sunday or in the second round of the CBE Classic Monday night—should only bolster the team’s on-court camaraderie. Even when Paulus comes back, however, all four freshmen will play integral roles on a team that needs to replace its top two scorers from last season. “These four guys can play, and they’re going to have that opportunity to play.” —

STEPHANIE KOZIKOWSKI/THE CHRONICLE

Abby Waner was one of six Blue Devils to score in double figures. She scored 11 of her 16 in thefirst half.

Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t use Greg’s injury as an excuse for not getting better, so when he returns we’ll have to fit him in and hopefully everyone will continue to

step up.” Duke needs its freshmen to mature quickly, as its early-season schedule includes games with Indiana, Georgetown, and possible tilts with Stanford and Marquette or Texas Tech in the later rounds of the CBE Classic. The development of the freshmen along with the growth of sophomores Marty Pocius and Jamal Boykin—should give the Blue Devils a deeper bench than it has had in the recent past. Duke relied heavily on its starting five last season, with Paulus, JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams all averaging over 32 minutes per game. The Blue Devils face a Columbia team returning all five starters from an 11-16 season. The Lions showed potential last year in late-season wins over the Ivy League’s top two teams, Penn and Princeton. “Sunday is the real thing,” Nelson said. “The atmosphere that you build in practice carries over to games. So in practice, you have to set good habits —execution, discipline, toughness. That’s how good teams become great teams, and that’s how championship teams are built.” —

educational accomplishment.” Within a six-year span after their enrollment, 91 percent of Duke’s student-athletes graduated, compared to the 63 percent for student-athletes average nationwide. Over the same period, 93 percent ofDuke’s overall student body graduated, as opposed to 61 percent nationally. The release of the report comes amid the ongoing debate over the balance of athletics and academics at Duke, sparked recently by the men’s lacrosse scandal. Some faculty have said the University should de-emphasize athletics, while many others have urged for the University to remain strong in its commitment to its sports programs. Thursday’s report came as no surprise to members of the athletics department. “It’s not new news—we’ve been doing the same thing for years and years,” said Chris Kennedy, senior associate athletics director. “It’s always nice to have actual stats to point to, showing that you’re doing

things right. “Some people are going to be critical no matter what, finding something behind particular statistics. But it is good to have some objective standards to indicate that we’re being successful,” Kennedy added. Beyond Duke, three other institutions—Boston College, Bucknell and Northwestern—graduated at least 90 percent of their student athletes over the se-

lected period. According to the NCAA’s study, the graduation rates for both athletes and nonathletes were up one percent from last year nationally. Female student-athletes outpaced their non-athlete counterparts, graduating at 71 percent, while male student-athlete lagged behind at 56 percent. Graduation rates for men’s and women’s basketball improved three and one percent, respectively, while football’s rate remained unchanged. “The academic achievement of our student-athletes continues to improve,” NCAA President Myles Brand said in ’a statement. “It is becoming one of our greatest success stories.”

“This year there’s just so much parity in the tournament,” Bozman said. “If anybody overlooks any team, they’re going to be eliminated, and we know that.” Statistically, Duke is better than its opponent in every ranked category, including scoring margin, goals per game, points and scoring average. Still, the Blue Devils can’t afford to look past the Dukes, who aren’t strangers to being statistically overmatched. In their last game versus Old Dominion, James Madison was outshot 23-1 and still came away with a victory. Duke is looking to demonstrate that same perseverance and, with home field advantage through the opening rounds and seniors who have experienced the championship game three straight seasons,

the team feels that this year is its best chance ever. “Last year I know how badly all the seniors wanted it, and [the loss] was so heartbreaking,” sophomore midfielder Marian Dickinson said. “This year it . means that much to everybody else. We feel like we can do it, and we want to.” To be champions, Duke will have to play against much of the same competition it has faced all year. The ACC dominates this year’s tournament with five of the six conference teams represented in the 16-team tournament.

The Blue Devils are confident in their

chances, relying on the unity and sense of urgency they’ve developed throughout the season—especially in the last few weeks. “It’s serving us in a really good way,” Bozman said of the adversity the team has faced. “Hilary [Linton] summed it up really well when she said that she’s going to do everything she can, because she can. That’s the attitude we’ve all taken.” With that go-for-broke mindset, the Blue Devils are entering the tournament with excitement and without any emotional burden. “We’re looking forward to this weekend,” Bozman said.

screaming against us at the top of their lungs. Meanwhile, the same notorious Duke fans who make opposing basketball teams dread visiting this campus are noticeably absent when it comes to other sports. No, Duke is not unique in non-revenue neglecting teams. For a school that prides itself on perfection in all areas, however, it makes no sense that there is so little talk about our other nationally ranked teams. Better attendance and increased enthusiasm help our teams win. Ask anyone on the men’s soccer team about this year’s UNC game, and they will tell you how the raucous crowd positively affected their play. Attendance at athletic events also helps build a sense

of community at Duke. Those who saw Sean Dockery beat Virginia Tech or looked on as last year’s basketball team fell to Carolina can attest to the unifying power of sports. The stadium is common ground at a time when our community is trying to figure out ways to come together. Duke soccer is consistently one of the best teams at this school and in the country. This season alone, they beat UNC, dismantled three top-ten ranked teams and repeated as champions in the strongest league in die country. This could be the year Duke wins a NCAA Championship and should be the year that Koskinen gets some crazies. But men’s soccer is not alone in its winning ways. Women’s soccer is playing well and there is no reason why

fans should not line up to watch top-ranked women’s volleyball’s Nov. 22 final regular season match against Florida State. Field hockey has faced tremendous challenges this season, but is now ranked fourth in the nation and has earned its fifth-straight NCAA tournament bid. Being a Duke fan needs to mean more than just following men’s basketball. The list of teams that are not receiving well deserved accolades right now is quite long. This is the year, now that there is so much post-season action happening on campus, that the Duke community can get out to more games and get to know each other better in the process. This fall, we can make home-field advantage actually mean something for all of our teams.

The Democrats of this Congress need to realize that this election is far from a decisive affirmation of the Democratic Party; indeed, the slim margins of victory indicate the absolute reverse.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER

Time to Speak Up

hundreds of you, I cast myfirst ballot as a resident of Durham this Tuesday. And like nearly all of you, I was shocked and dismayed by the outcome of that election. It’s hard to imagine what—if anything—49 percent of Durham residents were thinking when they voted for District Attorney Mike Nifong, who has disgraced this community before a national audience. But even as we acknowledge Nifong’s electoral victory, Duke students should continue to reject kristin butler the ignorant, counterfactual and deeply offensive with aii deliberate speed logic embraced by many of his proponents. To see what I mean, consider this statement from Harris Johnson, a Nifong supporter and longtime Durham resident; “[Nifong’s victory] just goes to show that justice can’t be bought by a bunch of rich white boys from New York... no matter how much money you have, Durham is owned by its citizens.” Surprisingly, Duke’s own Associate Professor of Literature Grant Faired advanced a similar argument in his Oct. 27 letter to the Herald-Sun. Citing many students’ decision to register to vote locally this fall, Farred wrote: “Duke students are notorious in their disconnect from the ‘black’ city of Durham.... The plan here is not to act in Durham or for the general good of Durham, but to act against the non-Duke Durham community.” Farred concludes that “the goal of these new, expedient and transient members ofDurham’s political community is to repair the damage done to historic white male privilege by voting against” Mike Nifong. Both of these arguments boil down to the same insinuation: that Duke students aren’t “real” Durham residents, and we have no place in this town’s political determinations. Well, Professor Farred and Mr. Johnson, I have news for you: We are very much citizens of this community, and one electoral defeat will not keep us from continuing to demand our rights as such. Let’s face the facts. We spend at least 70 percent ofeach of our four college years in Durham, and during that timewe’re subject to the same local laws, taxes and responsibilities as everyone else. What’s more, fully 15 percent of undergraduates and the vast majority of graduate and professional students actually live in Durham neighborhoods, paying rent to Durham landlords and living alongside long-term residents. A boon to the local economy, all 12,085 Duke students spent approximately $92.5 million here during the 2005-2006 school year—and that’s a conservative estimate. It’s not even possible to calculate the number of community service hours Duke students devote to Durham each year; suffice it to say that the number is safely in the tens of thousands.

Still, we do know that Duke students, while studying at a university the tuition and fees of which nearly exceed Durham’s average yearly income, nonetheless managed to

donate 80,000 of their own dollars to this community in 2005. So let’s not avoid the important question any longer: Are these not the “badges and incidents” of citizenship? How much longer will Durham residents continue to disregard our participation in the residential, economic and civic activities of this community, all of which predated our recent claim to political enfranchisement? And most important of all, will fellow Durham residents ever stop treating us like second-class citizens in a community that we—along with generations of alumni, faculty and staffbefore us—helped build? Unfortunately, 49 percent of Durham voters answered “no” on Tuesday, leaving us with some very serious problems for the next four years. Chiefamong them is a district attorney who thinks it’s acceptable to target Duke students because our “rich daddies” can buy us “expensive lawyers.” Note also that Nifong is joined by a police force whose officers—prominent among them Sgt. Mark Gottlieb, a lead investigator in the lacrosse case—exhibit what attorney Bill Thomas called “a real pattern of arresting Duke students on less serious charges while not arresting non-Duke students on much more serious charges.” Most frightening of all, three of our classmates will face a politically motivated prosecution this spring despite overwhelming evidence suggesting their innocence. Never forget: Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann and Dave Evans could spend decades of their lives in prison if convicted of first degree forcible rape, first degree sexual offense and first degree kidnapping. And given that 49 percent of voters supported Nifong’s deeply troubled candidacy this week, our classmates’ chances of getting a fair trial before a Durham-based ‘jury of their peers” have never looked so bleak. That’s why I hope we students will set aside our postelection blues and continue to assert—in as bold and visible away as possible —our full, unqualified status as Durham citizens. Let’s come out and say it: We are owed some basic fairness under the law. Our attempts to defend the rights we are afforded are not assertions of “historical white male privilege,” but rather, of our identity as contributing, concerned members of this community. And as victims of Durham’s “political process,” we are more than justified in our attempts to influence it through whatever legal means are available. If thatreclamation threatens people like Harris Johnson and Grant Faired, then so be it. But as Nifong himself said, the lacrosse case “remains a Durham problem, and it demands a Durham solution.” It’s time to say that we’re from Durham, too, and we fully intend to participate in that “solution.” Kristin Butler is a Trinity junior.

A Self-Loather No More

a freshman three years ago, if I had been told I would be onstage for three minutes in an essentially Indian culture performance-type celebration, I, an accomplished self-loather, would have been deeply hurt and insulted “What a horrible thing to say!” I would have told you. Maybe I wouldn’t even have f' 00': 'o*' heard you, busy as I was running away from crowds of South-Asian ashwin bhirud persuasion. When my mom stipaimless sameness ulated Awaaz participation to attending Duke, I thought I could squirrel my way out of the cultural contract just as I was going only to pretend to be premed. But mom’s a persistent one; there was no squirreling or rodent action of any kind. I am now in Awaaz. And guess what else? Medical school is happening, too. But my brittle backbone aside, underclassmen see reality through a kaleidoscope, and I know now I was just afraid of all that reflective symmetry. Sometimes, in this hodgepodge, melting-pot Superdome called America, a near-sighted man like myself can lose track of what life is really about, you know, in the long run. I am not on this earth to lift spirits, preach peace nothing so boring. I am on this earth to throw down old-school Indian '

dancing.

Abraham may not have been that ecstatic when God gave him a purpose. Jesus might have been the tiniest bit disappointed when his dad didn’t give him a bike for Christmas. Muhammad probably thought God was just giving him busy work. But when the God in my heart told me my purpose —to throw my hands and legs in the air to the epic twangs of the sitar and the lyrical styles of people using way too much of their back palate to talk —I lit up like the Hindu festival of lights. I will never question this judgment again. If it’s good enough for Jay-Z, bhangra’s good enough for me. If Steve Carell, coordination connoisseur, can gyrate South-Asian-style at an Indian celebration, as he did on last week’s episode of “The Office,” so can I. And if Caucasians know more names ofHindu gods than I do, I’m obviously not carrying my weight. Every minute I spend not getting down to the fine reverbs ofclassical Indian music is garbage time. I won’t stop there. I’m going to use my skin color like a magnet to stick to my people and never let go, because as we all know, magnets never let go. Where am I going to have a better chance of kicking some bhangra on the street side, with a few Indians standing in a circle or with a couple of white guys listening to Tupac? You can pretend that having friends of all colors, religions and shapes will make you a better person, but you will only end up miserable, alone, inconsequential. As an Indian at Duke, there is nothing more satisfying than the reassuring nods of recognition with Indians you don’t know; sorry, but on some level we are very well acquainted. And I’m gonna chase that feeling. When life gives you mangoes, just get up and Indian dance. I heard someone say America isn’t a melting pot anymore; it’s a pot luck, and the lo mein no longer mixes with the sauerkraut, and the enchiladas rancheros shy away from the falafel. We can celebrate diversity and the fact that an ethnicity is not official until it can be defined by food. And me? I’m going to keep my aloo tikka vindaloo over with the other vindaloos, because I don’t want any soy sauce or salsa sneaking in and ruining the taste. I’ll end with an ancient Indian verse Take me doom to Bombay city, Where dreams are real And the streets are... clean Ashwin Bhirud is a Trinity senior. His column runs every other Friday.
