Counseling and Psychological Services has recently begun a new collaboration to provide immediate services for all students extensive requiring psychological health care through the Rapid

Referral Assistance Program.

CAPS is currently working with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the School of Medicine in a pilot phase of the program, which began about

three weeks ago.

CAPS Director Kathy Hollingsworth said the program will focus on students who need attention for eating disorders, though services for students with bipolar disorder, depression and alcohol and substance addiction will also be available.

“The whole thing is to help our most vulnerable students who need specialized attention,” she said.

The Office of Student Affairs, which oversees CAPS, will provide initial funding for all students seeking help who receive a referral from CAPS, said Richard Surwit, vice chair and chief of the division SEE CAPS ON PAGE 6

Senior Charles “Chas” Salmen was one of 32 students awarded the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship Saturday.

Salmen, a native of Glenwood Springs, Colo., will use the scholarship to attend Oxford University next fall. He intends to pursue a Master of Science in medical anthropology.

“I certainly didn’t expect it at all,” he said.

“I was very honored and pretty surprised.”

During his time at Duke, Salmen—an English major and an Asian and African Languages and Literature minor—was captain of both the indoor and outdoor track teams and the cross country team.

He also founded the Arab-Jewish Student Coalition this year and has conducted and published research in the Department of Urology.

“I am absolutely delighted that Chas has been selected as a Rhodes Scholar,” President Richard Brodhead said in a statement. “He is a person of extraordinarily varied gifts and accomplishments.... Duke is proud of Chas’ achievements and we wish him well in his studies at Oxford.”

Salmen has won a prize for his photography, and his senior thesis on Walt Whitman and D.H. Lawrence was selected as the most original and most outstanding senior thesis.

Instead of calling to complain about Duke students hosting loud parties, this year, Trinity Park neighbors are socializing with them.

At the beginning of the semester, senior Max Milliken and his housemates hosted a barbeque to meet their Trinity Park neighbors.

Milliken lives in one of the 12 houses purchased for $3.7 million by the University last February. According to an official statement released last year, the properties were bought in order to curb off-campus partying and improve relations between students and Trinity

Kissinger: Iraq victory impossible by

Tariq Panja

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Military victory is no longer possible in Iraq, former Secretary of LONDON

State Henry Kissinger said in a television interview broadcast Sunday.

Kissinger presented a bleak vision of Iraq, saying the U.S. government must enter into dialogue with Iraq’s neighbors including Iran —if progress is to be made in the region.

“If you mean by ‘military victory,’ an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time peri—

od that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don’tbelieve that is possible,” he told the British Broadcasting Corp.

But Kissinger, an architect of the Vietnam war who has advised President George W. Bush about Iraq, warned against a rapid withdrawal of coalition troops, saying it could destabilize Iraq’s neighbors and cause a long-lasting conflict.

“A dramatic collapse of Iraq—whatever we think about how the situation was created—would have disastrous consequences for which we would pay for many years and which would bring us back, one way or another, into the region,” he said.

Kissinger, whose views have been sought

by the Iraqi Study Group, called for an international conference bringing together the

permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, Iraq’s neighbors—including Iran and regional powers like India and Pakistan to work out away forward for the conflict.

“I think we have to redefine the course, but I don’t think that the alternative is between military victory, as defined previously, or total withdrawal,” he said.

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican member of the SenateArmed Services Committee, said he disagreed with Kissinger. Graham told CBS television’s “Face the Nation” program that more U.S. troops might be needed to help stem the violence in Iraq.

Students brave cold for new Play Station 3, Wii

by Lysa Chen THE CHRONICLE

Shivering students huddled inside a row of tents last Wednesday night waiting for game consoles instead of basketball tickets.

These Blue Devils joined thousands of gamers across the country for the Friday release of PlayStation 3—the newest Sony game console.

Freshman Gavin Best said he and his friends waited for 40 hours outside a Best Buy store for their three Play Station 3 consoles—priced at $6OO each.

“A group of other [Duke] undergraduates organized it like a Cameron [lndoor Stadium] line—there were line checks every six hours, then five and so on,” he said. “They technically had no power, but they ran it so efficiently that people respected their authority.”

Best said there were approximately 30 others there and his group was not the first to arrive.

“There was one man who arrived Wednesday at 2 a.m.,” Best said. “He did

not move the entire time he was there—he didn’t budge.”

Sophomores Andrew Hsiao and Sungho Yoo started their campout Thursday afternoon outside of a Wal-Mart store. Hsiao said they wanted to arrive at Wal-Mart on Wednesday but had to change their plans because ofmidterm schedules.

“We got one of the last spots,” he said.

Hsiao added, however, that because of complications they were bumped out of the line and had to buy a rain-check ticket—which allows them to pick up a console as soon as the store is restocked—for $5OO from someone else in line.

Hsiao and Yoo plan to sell their Playstation 3 once they get the console, which is being marketed at nearly five times the original price on eßay.

Best said he and his friends have already sold two of their consoles for $1,600 each on eßay Saturday.

Although they had to brave last week’s cold weather, those waiting in line were able to entertain themselves in a variety of ways—including playing board games and beer pong, watching portable television and completing homework.

Yoo said that he took the opportunity to meet new people, including a homeless man who shared some of his poetry.

“I sat down next to [him] at the bus stop, and we just started sharing stuff about each other’s lives.... He had a lot of wise things to say,” he said. “It was a really weird bonding moment.”

Yoo said that interacting with those around him reminded him of his tenting experience at Krzyzewskiville, except that there was “an undercurrent of cutthroat competition” at Wal-Mart.

“When the manager came out with the tickets it was everyone there for themselves,” he said.

According to a Nov. 17 New York Times article, a man was held up and shot while waiting in line outside a Wal-Mart

Duke Play-In brings hundreds to quad Casey Dean THE CHRONICLE

by

The new DukePlays initiative has an extensive list of goals, and last Friday students got a jump start on those goals with jump rope, hopscotch and impromptu dance parties.

The GreatDuke Play-In, held on the Duke Chapel Quadrangle, attracted players of all sorts with the objective of publicizing the group while asserting that students have ownership of campus culture.

DukePlays co-founders Rachel Weeks and Haley Hoffman, both seniors, said they think it was a successful venture and were pleased with the turnout, which they estimated at more than 1,000.

“Sure you could call it a political movement to reclaim play, but it’s really just a whole hell of a lot of fun,” Weeks said.

She said she was concerned that people didn’t understand the idea of the

Play-In. But upon seeing the large gathering on the quad, she said she thought that students, administrators and staff were catching on.

“I was worried people thought that DukePlays meant putting down your drink and reading a book, but it’s a lot cooler than that,” she said.

Weeks and Hoffman also noted that the DukePlays’ initiative is an important task and that play can be a powerful statement.

“Playing well [is] about doing it right, even—especially —when we’re boozing,” Weeks wrote in an e-mail. “It’s about playing well—wherever, however, it is you play.”

So Friday afternoon, Duke Plays provided peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Capri Sun, four-square balls and sidewalk chalk, to which players added their own SEE DUKEPLAYS ON PAGE 6

Sex workshop challenges taboos by

Chelsea Allison THE CHRONICLE

Everybody’s heard of a Tupperware party, at which genteel Southern women tempted retro partygoers to

make a purchase.

Today’s woman, however, can host parties featuring a different sort of plastic.

Last Thursday, the Women’s Center hosted a Sex Toy Workshop featuring Laura Poole, Trinity ’95, of Temptations Parties and a number of her products, from vibrators to adjustable loop erection rings.

“They call me the lube lady for a good reason,” Poole announced, passing around samples of some of her favorite products to the more than 50 women present.

The workshop is in its third year, but for many, attendance speaks to more than just curiosity of an idle mind.

“Traditionally, as soon as the male is satisfied, the sexual moment is done.What the great turnout says to me is that there must be some need [that the workshop] is fulfilling,” said senior Shadee Malaklou, gender issues team leader for the Women’s Center and party planner.

“It’s a little taboo for women to be openly sexual,” she added. “It’s one thing for a woman to go over to MaXxX Adult Emporium, but for [the presentation] to come to your space makes it... more comfortable.”

With alcohol often used as a social lubricant, some said sloppy hook ups and a rotten morning aftertaste are the disappointing result.

“We offer flavored lubes, condoms, oils, you name it,” Poole told her audience. “You’re supposed to enjoy what you’re doing.”

For some, however, a cherry-coating only partially addresses the issues—that those drunken hook ups leave women in particular out to dry.

The workshop was initially launched by two residence coordinators, Tegwin Millard and Stephanie Carter, with the goal that, in Millard’s words, “women would stop sacrificing their pleasure and start controlling it.”

Many said they agree that this alcohol-induced hook-up environment is what breeds a sexually unfulfilled student body.

“I am not sure that ‘satisfaction’ could be achieved in five minutes on a cold-nasty-beer-sticky-dorm floor at a frat party,” Millard said. “But, who am I to judge?”

Malaklou teaches a house course that affords students an open forum to assess these typical weekend encounters, entitled, “Dating & Mating: The Hook-up Culture at Duke.”

“A lot of the people who sign up for the course are what Rolling Stone would typically define as the ‘Duke 500,”’ Malaklou said.

In the article, some Duke students were portrayed as users of sex as a means of control. But Malaklou maintains that those same students are interested in SEE WORKSHOP ON PAGE 12

Throughout the 2006-2007 academic year, Duke Student Government has attempted to take a new approach to serving the undergraduate community by implementing an unofficial strategic plan.

“I think overall it helps focus our thinking about how we can broadly advocate on behalf of students’ interest,” said senior David Snider, DSG vice president for athletics and campus services.

DSG President Elliott Wolf, a junior, said the guidelines are in keeping with the mission of the organization.

The plan consists offour main themes: supporting and enabling student groups, holding power accountable and giving students a voice, increasing student convenience on campus and strengthening community relations.

“The thought was that we would be much more effective if we tried to undertake projects in certain themes, as opposed to individual projects that were not related to each other,” said senior Joe Fore, DSG executive vice president.

He added that DSG is on target with its goals and has been effective so far.

“One of the problems DSG has had perennially is spreading ourselves too thin,” Fore said. “I think [the plan] has paid huge dividends. It’s allowed us to stay focused.”

Wolf said all of DSG’s fall goals have been accomplished, with the exception of obtaining a bar in McClendon Tower.

“A lot of what I’ve been doing this semester has involved, essentially, flipping out when something goes wrong and going to the appropriate administrator, advocating for students,” Wolf said, citing tailgate and retaining student seats behind the press in Cameron Indoor Stadium as two examples.

Fore said the Student Organization Finance Committee bylaw changes have made it easier and faster this year for student groups to receive funding.

He called DSG’s second theme of accountability the most successful so far, adding that it is of particular concern to Wolf.

“He’s infused the whole Executive Board with that idea,” Fore said. “It applies to the administration, it applies to other student groups, it applies to us.”

Plans are also underway for a new course evaluations system and a revision of the selection process for Young Trustee, Fore said, noting that many students feel the process has been secretive.

He said the third theme of DSG’s strategic plan —increasing student convenience—is more difficult to enact.

The sunny afternoon on the quad served as an opportunity to answer students’ questions and gamer their interest.

“No one knew what [DukePlays was] before, and now they do—people are intrigued,” said junior Rob Linsalata, one student in attendance.

Weeks and Hoffman said DukePlays isn’t an official organization; it is composed of everyone at Duke.

There was a steady stream of players all afternoon, who participated in the activities for reasons varying from curiosity to escaping work to supporting DukePlays.

Freshman Alex Lyons-Smith was one of the, people enjoying four-square on the quad. Although not sure if the individual activity would have a big impact, she said she did think that “people will remember days we didn’t need alcohol to have fun and reconsider Saturday nights.”

“It’s good to take a break from doing work and remember the things from our childhood that made us happy,” she said.

Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson took part in one game he remembered from his childhood. He played four-square with Eddie Hull, dean ofresidence life and executive director of housing services, and watched as Larry Moneta, vice president of student affairs, performed a card trick.

“It’s spectacular,” Thompson said of the event. “It captures the right spirit.”

Moneta said Student Affairs is committed to providing funds for all referred students, adding that even though the amount ofmoney to be designated for the program is still uncertain, he does not expect the service to require a lot of funding.

“We want to make sure that Duke students who need psychological services can get them in a speedy fashion, without having to worry about the particularities of insurance policies,” Surwitsaid. “We’ll worry about that after the fact, and the University will act as a guaranteeor of payment.”

Students can apply for an out-of-network claim from their insurance companies after being admitted into the health system. If they receive insurance reimbursement, they will be expected to repay the University’s initial funding, Hollingsworth said.

If students do not have insurance, however, or their insurance plans do not provide mental health coverage, they can apply to Student Affairs for a “scholarship” to cover the necessary fees, Surwit said.

Future DukePlays ventures include collaboration with Duke Conversations to host big-name “players” and an exhibition of the history of Duke at play.

Students signed up for Playmail Friday, a mailing list with updates on future events and ideas. DukePlays also plans to have a wiki-type website, dukeplays.com, complete with a schedule of events, photos and tips on play and party planning.

“We are banking on other students bringing in ideas,” Weeks said. “We’re trying to think creatively about the next

The group wants to allow students to say

“One conception of this event that has and that we love is that...

Duke students can make fun of ourselves,” Weeks said. “We should know our complaints about Duke culture, but if we can’t stop long enough to laugh at the situation, we’ll never see away out.”

In addition to promoting humility, the initiative also has the goal of making good impressions.

“Even though we all have different ways of playing, we can share a standard that makes us feel, and ultimately look, good,” Weeks wrote. “That’s what we hope students see in the T-shirts and the bumper stickers a ‘brand,’ maybe, for a new, cool, more honest way of describing our social lives.” come across

insurance is more complicated than the clinical care, but that’s OK,” Moneta said.

CAPS refers more than 200 students per year to hospitals or mental health centers, Hollingsworth said, adding that most of them seek services in community facilities for financial and insurance reasons.

“We haven’t been able to refer many [students] out to world-renowned health systems because they had to pay up front,” she said.

Surwit said he anticipates that 200 or 300 students will seek services at DUHS in the first year of the pilot program.

He added that special provisions will be made for Duke students,'who will be able to bypass waiting lists for services and receive specialists’ attention within a week of referral.

“The purpose of this new program was to see students immediately,” Surwit said.

“There isn’t going to be a waitlist, students will be given a priority and seen within a day or two.”

The program is not going to replace GAPS, however, which will still be the first place students seeking help should turn to, he said. CAPS will serve as a triage, determining whether students require the assistance of a medical center or whether their problems can be handled internally by CAPS. “This will hopefully expand the options for students who need more help,” Moneta said. “It would give CAPS a set of referral tools that would get students help much more effectively and much more efficiendy.”

The medical school has nearly 400 faculty members, with more than 220 psychologists alone, who are very specialized in their respective fields, Surwit said.

“Going to CAPS is like going to your primary care physician and for-minor things they can be quite good and even for some major things,” he said. “We just have a very deep bench so we can provide help way beyond what the capabilities of CAPS are.”

promising start at

Georgia Tech

by Sam Levy THE CHRONICLE

ATLANTA, Ga. Duke entered Bobby Dodd Stadium Saturday needing a strong team effort against No. 17 Georgia Tech to win its first game of the season. But after the Yellow Jackets (9-2, 7-1 in the ACC) won 49-21, the only thing still intact for the Blue Devils (0-11, 0-7) is the nation’s longest losing streak, which now sits at 19 games.

On the game’s first play from scrimmage, defensive back John Talley picked off a pass from Georgia Tech’s Reggie Ball and returned the interception to the Yellow Jacket 22-yard line. After a pass interference penalty set up a first down from the 13, it looked as if the Blue Devils would capitalize and score first against their opponent for only the third dme this season.

Nonetheless, the same mistakes that have doomed Duke all season resurfaced quickly. On the ensuing possession, receiver Raphael Chestnut dropped a sure touchdown pass on third down, and kicker Joe Surgan missed a 27-yard field goal.

“We’ve got to find away to make those plays,” head coach Ted Roof said. “There’s no excuse.”

Georgia Tech responded with a six-play touchdown drive that spanned 80 yards—all of which were accumulated by running back Tashard Choice. Choice finished the game with 118 yards on 18 carries—all in the first half, as Yellow Jacket head coach Chan Gailey elected to rest his starters after halftime with his team leading, 28-7.

“We worked on their plays during the practice week,” defensive tackle Vince Oghobaase said. “It’s all on us—they executed, and we didn’t.”

Georgia Tech wideout Calvin Johnson did all of his damage in the first half as well, catching five passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns. After beating Talley for a 46-yard catch late in the first quarter, Johnson soared between two Blue Devil de-

With 4:52 remaining in the half, Johnson caught his second touchdown of the game, a 19-yarder in the back of the end zone on a fade from Ball. The play was set up after Thaddeus Lewis fumbled on his own 26-yard line on the first play after a Yellow Jacket punt.

“The second touchdown I felt like I was in good position,” said Talley, who is now second all-time on the ACC’s career interceptions list with 17. “He just went up more aggressive to the ball than I did.”

Duke scored its first touchdown of the

game on a 13-yard catch by fullback Tielor Robinson, who dove over the right pylon in the front of the end zone with 3:15 left in the half. The Blue Devils then started with the ball in the second half with an opportunity to close the 21-point halftime gap.

Duke punted after its first drive, however, and Georgia Tech responded with a touchdown to make the score 35-7. From then on, most of the Yellow Jacket starters did not see the field for the rest of the contest.

“Georgia Tech—you have to give them credit,” Roof said. “They are a good football team. They were very sound in every phase of the ball game today.”

While the Yellow Jackets were able to put up 49 points against the Blue Devil defense, Duke was plagued by turnovers and

missed opportunities. The Blue Devils committed four turnovers and dropped key passes that could have set up scores.

“With ball security issues and turning the football over, you don’t beat good football teams,” Roof said.

Next week, Duke concludes its season at home against North Carolina, which picked up its first conference win Saturday, defeating N.C. State, 23-9. After a disappointing season and a losing streak that dates back to September 2005, Roof knows that his team must give its best effort against the Tar Heels.

“We’ve got one opportunity left, and we’ve got to devote everything we have,” he said. “This is it, there are no more after this.

Put all your chips on the table and let’s go.”

THE CHRONICLE

LEAH BUESO/THE CHRONICLE

On the Blue Devils' first drive of the game, wideout Raphael Chestnut dropped a pass that couldhave put Duke up by a touchdown.

ATLANTA, Ga. The 11th chapter of the Blue Devils’ 2006 season finished the same as all the others—a Duke loss. But more alarming than the agonizing endings are the repetitive game ways by which Duke loses its games. analysis Once again, the Blue Devils squandered opportunities, committed costly errors and beat themselves. Duke had its chances throughout the game, but Georgia Tech would not relinquish the momentum and ran away with the victory.

The Blue Devils got off on the right foot, though, after a John Talley interception on the first play from scrimmage set up Duke for a chance at an early lead. Immediately, the Blue Devil sideline was going crazy, and Bobby Dodd Stadium was silent.

“We came out on the first defensive drive and got a interception on the first play,” defensive lineman Vince Oghobaase said. “We were hella excited.”

The moment was fleeting, however, as a dropped pass—which looked like it would have resulted in a touchdown—and a missed field goal deflated Duke’s spirits and, ultimately, its chances at winning.

“It was a big momentum shifter,” fullback Tielor Robinson said. “But that’s football. Sometimes you score, sometimes you don’t. Momentum shifts from side to side—you just have to overcome it.”

But the Blue Devils had trouble regaining any kind of momentum again, even after Robinson flipped over two Georgia Tech defenders and fell into the endzone for Duke’s first touchdown of the day. The score came with Just 3:15 left in the first half, and by that time, the Yellow Jackets had already racked up 28 points. Aside from

Duke’s touchdown drive, the Yellow Jackets limited the Blue Devils to 19 yards of total offense before the break.

Despite the troubles, though, Duke came out in the second half with a chance to stage a comeback. But every time the Blue Devils needed to make a play and get momentum fully on their side, they failed to execute.

‘You get momentum from the smallest things,” Robinson said. “It’s not hard to get momentum, but once you get it, you want to hold onto it.”

Even though the Blue Devils were fighting an uphill battle from the start of the game, they still had their opportunities to get back into the game. After each of Duke’s first two touchdowns, the defensive unit forced a Georgia Tech three-and-out and provided the offense with a chance to make it close.

The momentum could have shifted toward the Blue Devils. Touchdowns following these defensive stops would have closed the margin to 14 with more than a quarter to play. Instead, Duke’s offense totaled just eight yards on the two series, which resulted in a punt and an interception.

If that was not bad enough, Georgia Tech then scored touchdowns on each of its ensuing offensive drives. Although the Yellow Jackets allowed Duke some chances to close the margin, Georgia Tech made sure to slam the door shut for good.

Throughout the season, Duke players and coaches have repeatedly said the team just needed to clean up its game and eliminate its mistakes. Now Duke has only one game left to pull it all together and avoid a winless season—next weekend’s matchup against rival North Carolina.

“We’re disappointed right now,” head coach Ted Roof said. “We’ve got one more opportunity left and have to devote everything we have and get ready to play UNC. This is it. There are no more after this.”

GDuke came out with more passion 71 and energy in its 81-35 drubbing of the Lady Cougars.

“I was more pleased with our effort,” Goestenkors said. “The energy was better

today.”

Against Marist, the Blue Devils (3-0) looked impatient offensively and slow defensively, allowing the Red Foxes (1-1) to hang around until midway through the second half.

Against Houston, though, the Blue Devils got ahead early and never let their opponent creep back into the game.

Duke raced out to 7-0 lead within the first three minutes against Houston and kept up the offensive intensity throughout the half. Another 7-0 run concluding with Bridgette Mitchell’s layup with six minutes left in the first half put the Blue Devils up 26-6. Soon after, Duke buried the Lady Cougars with a 9-0 run over a minute and a half on consecutive three pointers by Abby Waner, Wanisha Smith and Waner again, ballooning the lead to 26.

Unlike the Marist game, the defense did not let up. Houston could not reach double figures until there was 4:17 left in the first half, and the Cougars shot less than 24 percent from the field. The Blue Devils forced 24 turnovers and converted them into 29 points.

The amount of energy Duke played with on defense was especially evident in the second half. With 2:40 left in the game and the outcome a foregone conclusion, the Cougars looked to convert an easy twoon-one fast break. Out of nowhere, Brittany Mitch ran the length of the court, partially blocked the layup and sent Houston’s Maya Onikute catapulting out of bounds with the ball.

Another freshman, Mitchell, a forward, stood out with 16 points and 12 rebounds in the game. On Friday, sophomore forward Carrem Gay recorded her first career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in her second collegiate start.

Despite the two victories, Duke knows it has a lot to work on, especially offensively. The Blue Devils turned the ball over a total of 32 times this weekend and missed several easy chances near the basket.

“We’re getting good looks—we just need to put them down,” Goestenkors said. “It’s a process, though, because this is a young and new team.”

Nevertheless, Duke played more actively in its second game of the weekend.

Houston, which only came to Cameron with eight players, was quickly overwhelmed by the Blue Devils’ depth and athleticism.

“We have no excuses at all,” Houston head coach Joe Curl said. “They were bigger, stronger and faster.”

After a sluggish performance against Marist, Duke looked like a different team in its win over Houston.

Leaders invigorate team in victory over Houston by

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

Although Duke did not look like a national championship-caliber team against Marist, the Blue Devils should not worry too aamG much about their inconsistent play in the two anaiySlS games this weekend —as long as they continue to improve the way they did against Houston.

Early season matchups against lesser opponents are not so much about winning—Duke likely could have pulled out both weekend victories with only four players on the floor. These easier games are more about gelling as a team and improving the untested talent before the Blue Devils begin the meat of their schedule.

With three core players gone from last season’s national championship runner-up team, Duke needs to give Lindsey Harding, Abby Waner and Wanisha Smith time to leant how to be leaders in the backcourt. And down low, Alison Bales needs a chance to adjust to being the sole guiding force, especially with Chante Black still out with an injury.

“That has really been a focus for me and Lindsey both,” Bales said about adjusting to their new roles. “We need to be a very vocal presence on the floor.”

Houston head coach Joe Curl said Duke played bigger, faster and stronger than the Cougars in the Blue Devils’ win Sunday.

The same could not be said for the Blue Devils in their victory over Marist Friday.

Although the Duke was bigger, the Lions outworked the Blue Devils, who went flat after opening the game with a 14-2 run.

Head coach Gail Goestenkors said she was “disappointed” in her team’s lackluster effort against the Red Foxes, who managed to cut Duke’s lead to 10 at halftime.

The Blue Devil’s veterans were unable to motivate the younger players Friday night. After the starters built up an early lead, Goestenkors emptied her bench and .

put a new five on the floor, which included many of the freshmen.

The second five looked lost, impatient and unfocused when they were running the offense. When the starters returned to the floor, they were unable to recapture the early-game energy and bring the team back to life. That was not the case Sunday.

Duke’s drive lasted all forty minutes —a sign that Goestenkors got her team’s attention during the day off.

Similar to the game against Marist, the Blue Devils jumped out on Houston with an early run. But this time, they did not slow down. Throughout the game, the starters pressured the ball, forced turnovers and dove for loose balls.

When Goestenkors put in the lineup that included four freshmen, and junior Emily Waner at the point, against Houston in the second half, the veterans did not sit idly on the bench, satisfied with their effort. Instead, Waner, Smith and Harding stood and encouraged the younger players—effectively helping to build up the freshmen’s confidence and keep their vigor alive on the floor.

“Especially when everyone is vocal when I go in, it’s like a boost of energy,” freshman Bridgette Mitchell said. “So, when everyone is excited, I was a little more comfortable when I got in.”

Waner may have even carried her enthusiasm a little too far.

Late in the second halfwith Abby Waner on the bench, her sister Emily got an open look for a three-pointer. Anticipating the shot, the younger Waner threw up her hands, which caused Emily to mistakenly throw a pass to her sister out ofbounds.

With their father watching in the stands, the two exchanged a light-hearted moment, sharing laughs and a wink.

If the Blue Devils want to come together as a team in time for matches against tougher opponents, the veterans will have to continue motivating the younger players on the team.

The men’s team concluded its season with a fourth-place finish at the IC4A Championship in the Bronx, N.Y. Duke won the event last year but was unable to defend its title as the team didn’t have any individuals place in the top 10.

“Cross country is only about the top five, and we didn’t have the up-front strength that we needed to defend our title,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said.

All East Honors were awarded to senior Keith Krieger, sophomore Geary Gubbins and senior Dan Daly, who finished 12th, 14thand 23rd overall, respectively. This was the second year in a row Krieger and Daly received the honor.

“We had a good year, We just didn’thave a great year,” Ogilvie said. “We’re going to take a short break from training and then focus our attention on indoor track.”

With the women’s “A” team set to compete today at the NCAA Championships, the “B” team finished 11th at the ECAC Championships.

Sophomore Maddie McKeever is proof that the ECAC is an excellent opportunity for young runners. She built off her fourth place finish there last year to develop into one ofDuke’s top runners this year.

Today, McKeever and her teammates will compete at the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind. Encouraged by their second place finish at the NCAA Southeast Regional meet two weeks ago, they are hoping to place among the top 10 teams in the country.

“We’re coming into this race more confidently than we have all season,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “If we’re able to run at a similar level to what we did at Regionals, we have a real good chance of being in the top 10.”

The Blue Devils are familiar with placing among the best in the nation. They finished second in Terre Haute two years ago and third last year.

“It’s been a great season so far, and we hope we can send our seniors off with a great race,” Jermyn said.

Recent rain has made the course muddy, but the team has been training for a variety of conditions and is prepared to make adjustments during the race.

“Ultimately, the national championships come down to some big racetime decisions,” Jermyn said. “Our athletes have to go out there and make some big moves and run aggressively, and I think they’re well prepared to do so.”

Duke started off last Thursday’s match against Virginia (22-7, 15-5) strong with a win in game one.

“It’s a good test for us, to show you can go out there against a tough team in Air Force,” Dave McClure said. “We’re looking forward to it —getting out there and getting our feet wet in tournament play.

It’s going to be an exciting trip.”

Friday night at Virginia Tech (16-13, 10-10), the Hokies jumped out to a 20-13 lead in game one, but the Blue Devils powered back with an 11-1 run to take control en route to a 30-28 victory.

A little more than seven minutes later, the Blue Devils penetrated deep into the Mountain Hawk zone and knocked in another goal.

Zach Pope pressured a ball in the midfield, forcing a turnover on a pass that Videira intercepted. The junior connected with Spencer Wadsworth, who traded a give-and-go pass with Mike Grella 15 yards outside the box. Wadsworth turned and blasted a shot that deflected off Lehigh goalie Jim Morahan’s fingers and into the goal, putting Duke up by two.

“I think what happened is it kind of curved a little bit when I hit the volley,” Wadsworth said of his shot. “The goalie was kind of moving one way, and it curved at the end and hit his hand and went in.”

The Mountain Hawks seemed to lose their intensity in the second period, as the Blue Devils outshot their opponents, 11-3, in the half and controlled the midfield as well as the tempo of the game. Duke had 10 shots on goal for the game, compared to Lehigh’s two.

“They were very, very difficult, particularly early in the game,” Duke head coach John Rennie said. “We certainly were not outplaying them at that point,

but it cost them a lot of energy. And after about 15 or 20 minutes, you could see they weren’t going to be able to do that for 90 minutes.”

Just more than 20 minutes into the second half, the Blue Devils tacked on another goal. Junior Tomek Charowski stole a Mountain Hawk pass in the center of the field and sent a ball to Grella on the top right corner of the box. The sophomore passed his defender to face the goalie one-on-one and chipped the ball over the keeper’s head from 12 yards out for his team-leading 13th goal of the season.

WORKSHOP from page 4 changing that culture.

“Women’s sexuality is too often attributed to an ulterior motive,” said senior Elizabeth Brooks, who attended the workshop. “I don’t think the sex toys workshop has anything to do with the hook-up culture. Men masturbate no matter who they’re having sex with or how often, and women can do the same.”

Still, some said it can be difficult to separate this desire for independence from simple pleasure.

“Sometimes the reasons we hook up are not sexual,” Millard said. “Hook-ups stem from other things, like psychological baggage masquerading as sexuality and desire.”

“We all need to be sexually healed—even if we don’t know it,” she added.

The Women’s Center and the workshop sponsors hope that at least talking about issues of sexual satisfaction can help lead to healthier attitudes. As of now, the idea of women satisfying themselves is not often

discussed “Women turning to sex toys and self-pleasure for fulfillment... is very much something that occurs on this campus,” said sophomore Rachel Wolf, a member of the Duke Educational Leaders in Sexual Health.

“It is perfectly natural to search for other ways offulfilling her sexual drive,” she added, touching on a theme that Poole addressed in her presentation.

“You know it’s natural because your arms are long enough,” Poole said, drawing laughs from the crowd.

Some attendees, however found the presentation startling, quickly passing on the samples. “I think we’re in over our heads,” whispered one girl to her friend.

At the end of the 90-minute workshop, many women rushed Poole’s table, taking samples and making purchases. Malaklou said she considered this response indicative of larger success.

Still, most admit there is no real cure-all for being unfulfilled.

Said Millard: “When we are looking to have someone stroke our fragile ego via sexual desire, a vibrator will not do the trick.”

The DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy welcomes

Andrea Mitchell for the 2006—2007

D. Ewing Lecture on Ethics in Communications James Named the late D. Ewing, publisher emeritus The Keene Sentinel in New Hampshire and for

of

James

vice chairman and co-founder of the Centerfor Foreign

Journalists in Washington, D. C.

Ms. Mitchell will join a roundtable discussion with William Raspberry, Knight Professor of the Practice of Journalism, DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy; and Judy Woodruff, Visiting Lecturer, DeWitt Wallace Center for

Media and Democracy, Duke University.

Andrea Mitchell is the Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for NBC News, a position she has held since November 1994. She reports on evolving foreign policy issues in the United States and abroad for all NBC News broadcasts, including “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams,” “Today” and on both CNBC and MSNBC. In addition to reporting on a variety of foreign affairs issues in 2004, Mitchell also

covered the 2004 presidential campaign for NBC News and was a regular panelist on MSNBC’s “Hardball.” She was the first reporter to break the story that democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry had chosen Sen. John Edwards as his vice presidential running mate.

In 2005, Mitchell received the prestigious Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism from the John F. Kennedy School of Government and in 2004, the Radio-Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) honored Mitchell with the Leonard Zeidenberg Award for her contribution to the protection of First Amendment Freedoms.

The topic of the roundtable discussion is “A Conversation on Media Ethics” °n Monday, November 20, tnG D#i W KIIOOGS UOnTGIGnCG r\OOUI

This lecture is open to the public.

Throughout 2002 and 2003, Mitchell covered the United Nations debate leading up to the Iraq war an j provided detailed reports on the questions surrounding pre-war intelligence and weapons of mass destruction. As a longtime analyst of the intelligence community, Mitchell has reported on Osama Bin Ladin and his A1 Qaeda network for “Nightly News with Tom Brokaw” since 1996.

As one of NBC News’ top political correspondents, Mitchell also hosted MSNBC’s “The Mitchell Report,” NBC News’ election year broadcast of record, throughout the Decision 2000 campaign. On her program, Mitchell interviewed newsmakers both in Washington D.C. and on the campaign trail. In addition, Mitchell was the lead NBC News correspondent covering Hillary Rodham Clinton’s race for the Senate in 2000.

Prior to being named ChiefForeign Affairs Correspondent, Mitchell had been NBC News’ ChiefWhite House Correspondent, a position she assumed after covering Bill Clinton from the New Hampshire primary through the entire 1992 presidential campaign.

The Nintendo Wii console, priced at |250, was also released this weekend.

Hsiao, a “hard-core Nintendo fan” who wrote his Writing 20 final paper on the Wii’s new controller last year, waited for 14 hours outside another Wal-Mart until its release at midnight Sunday.

Unlike the Play Station 3, Hsiao plans to keep the Wii, he said, adding that he favors the Wii because it focuses on game play rather than good graphics.

“When they changed the name to Wii it was so much easier for my friends to make fun of me,” Hsiao said.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is a colonel in the U.S. Air Force Standby Reserve, said he agreed that the U.S. does not have enough people in the military.

“I think we can do this with an all-voluntary service, all-voluntary Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy.

And if we can’t, then we’ll look for some other option,” said Graham, who is assigned as a reserve judge to the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals.

Rangel, the next chairman of the House tax-writing committee, said he worried the military was being strained by its overseas commitments.

“If we’re going to challenge Iran and challenge North Korea and then, as some people have asked, to send more troops to Iraq, we can’t do that without a draft,” Rangel said.

He said having a draft would not necessarily mean everyone called to duty would have to serve. Instead, “young people [would] commit themselves to a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it’s our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals,” with a promise of educational benefits at the end of service.

Graham said he believes the all-voluntary military “represents the country pretty well in terms of ethnic makeup, economic background.”

Tar Heel-blue shirts, paint and wigs. They used the Cameron Crazy invention of K-ville to get into the game, get good seats and make a mockery ofDuke’s fans.

As such, the group of UNC Robertsons did two things: first, they violated the unifying mantra of their own scholarship and second, they lost the opportunity to tent because they violated the spirit of the process.

Tenting, at its most basic level, is not a student privilege—it is a Cameron Crazy privilege. It was created by the most enthusiastic of Blue Devil fans, and it should be reserved for them. Thus, questions about the “full-time” versus “half-year” status of the Robertsons aside, the scholars should not expect to enjoy a

privilege

meant

for the sincer-

est of Cameron Crazies—par-

ticularly when they have previously shown no intention of respecting what K-ville was created to be.

The UNC Robertsons are not banned from the men’s home game against UNC. They can still wait in line to see the contest. Moreover, they are not banned from Kville. They, like many other students who don’t want to tent, can make their way over to the tents on the weekends for camaraderie and fun.

In short, they still get the “Duke basketball” experience—and even a taste of the K-ville experience. They just don’t get the full Cameron Crazy experience, which is fair because it is not a privilege they are due.

A view from the other side

ontherecord We talk

appreciate all the privileges extended to Duke students.

But the tenting policy is not simply about students; it’s about the nation’s most intense sports rivalry and its most extreme manifestations: K-ville and Cameron Crazies.

Thus, overarching fairness in a university context is not really the point.

The rivalry is the point Keeping the spirit of competitiveness high is the point And perhaps most importantly, making sure that K-ville is unified in pro-Duke spirit is the point.

Last year, several UNC Robertsons, posing as Duke supporters, tented, entered Cameron Indoor Stadium in Blue Devil garb and then, much to the surprise of fans, removed their gear to reveal

America: the forgotten campus culture

I

was having a conversation with an international student the other day who informed me America had no culture of its own. What we had instead, this student explained, were many distinct, separate cultures that existed within our borders and not a unifying national identity. Those things I might claim as our own, I was told, were simply stolen These words are not an isolated irritation, SXCpilen miller but express a pervasive and dangerous lie. miller time America without her culture is like a body without a soul—yet many of today’s youth see America as nothing but a meeting point for the cultures of other nations.

How can America survive if many don’t acknowledge, let alone embrace, the very culture that gives it life?

We must come to the defense of our heritage. And for us, that fight begins right here, on our campus.

It’s easy to understand how the student I spoke with arrived at her deeply misguided conclusion. Duke, in lockstep with the modern American university, worships at the altar of multiculturalism. As we obsess over, adulate and extol the non-American cultures we ignore the culture we all hold in common.

Every year Page Auditorium is packed to celebrate Indian and Asian culture, while crucial American cultural events like Thanksgiving, Christmas, President’s Day and Veterans Day are ignored and forgotten.

Duke requires every student engage in cross-cultural inquiry to graduate, yet there is no requirement to learn about America or larger Western civilization.

The joys of the holidays Holidays

kick ass, don’t they? What a fantastic concept: a day designed solely to sleep late and party with those closest to you. And though no one works, somehow commerce is at its peak. Why don’t we just make every day a holiday?

The best holidays are enjoyed by all even if S' not celebrated by everysi body. I celebrate Christmas, and yet I still totalChanukah ly dig (pronounced Ha-Nukuh) and Kwanzaa (almonday, monday though I’m still not enthe morning wood tirely sure what it is or when it i5...). I don’t celebrate Easter, but I still enjoy it. Why, you ask? Three Words; Cadbury Cream Eggs. Just typing that sentence made me shutter with anticipation.

Baisakh, Isra' Mi'raj, Shavuot, Grandparents Day, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism Holy Day (check it out on Wikipedia), the list goes on and on. Ummm, 4/20 anybody?

But of all these fine days, one stands out among the rest. If you are foreign or had a very hippy-like upbringing, you might just want to skip the next couple of paragraphs.

THANKSGIVING BABY! What a day it is indeed! It’s the ultimate American holiday on so many levels. First of all, people of every creed, color, gender, sexual preference, age and size celebrate together. Republicans and Democrats, Yankees fans and Red Sox fans, everyone gets in there on some turkey action. Frankly, the only Americans who don’t get to experience the true essence of Thanksgiving are vegetarians, but who gives a rat’s ass about them anyway?

The day consists of events based solely on the true American Dream: overindulgence. I don’t know how it is for most of you, but in my house, Thanksgiving means football. The Lions and Cowboys, for some rea:

-

son dubbed America’s teams, play every year, and every year we watch from start to finish, only moving from the couch to pee, and even that only means getting up and walking over to the window, eyes never leaving the screen.

But the real meaning of Thanksgiving is clearly the food: potatoes of all types, stuffing, gravy, veggies galore, even turkeys that look like they’re on more juice than Barry Bonds. Seriously, some of the turkeys I’ve seen on Thanksgiving are almost creepily enormous. There are not six-foot, 150-pound turkeys in the wild. What the hell are they doing to these things?

And then come the pies... Pumpkin pie a la mode topped with whipped cream and a side of apple pie and pecan pie; yeah, that’s mah jizzoint. It truly is a day of indulgence. In fact, I read under a Snapple bottle cap the other day that the average American household consumes less than half of the food cooked on Thanksgiving, and yet no person is allowed to leave the dinner table until their belt is unbuckled and their zipper is at least halfway down. That, my friends, is a massive load of food.

On a day so fruitful and fun, how can one not be thankful? Lord knows I am. We should all be thankful for so many things. And so, let me start the thanking on this glorious holiday season.

Thank you, ladies of Chic-Fil-A. While most employees ofDuke dining locations are generally unfriendly and bitter, you put a smile on my face every time. Then again, how could one not be happy when they’re surrounded by dank nugs and Polynesian sauce all day?

Thank you, Josh Mcßoberts. You could be riding a bench in the NBA right now, finding comfort in your pimped-out Escalade and your bling. Instead, you’re still in Durham, currently fourth on your own team in points and rebounds. Don’t you dare make me look stupid for picking you as my player of the year. My mother made me look stupid once. Once.

We can all be thankful to have our health... Al-

though I’m not so sure I even have that. Come to think of it, I live a pretty unhealthy lifestyle. I should do something about it. Well, at least I’m not in the same boat as my buddy abroad in Australia. He took a wicked jimmy tap, and woke up the next morning to find his left testicle was the size of a grape fruit. He decided it would maybe be a good idea to relieve himself while in the shower. Turned out to be a mistake.

The usual pleasure was replaced with pain, and the usual white color was replaced with red... Sorry buddy, feel better!

Thank you Tommy. You finally opened your restaurant, and I immediately packed on seven pounds to my ass. Your food is good, but there’s a lot of work to be done. For instance, there is no breakfast. Is it that difficult to cook some eggs and bacon with toast? You definitely have all the required ingredients. How ’bout I just pay $lO and you let me go behind the counter and cook it myself. Seriously, it’s great to have the restaurant open, but there are many simple changes that can be made. I’d be more than willing to help.

Thank you to my alarm clock for not going off on my ACES registration day. I now currently sit on two waitlists.

Seriously, thanks a lot you piece of sh—.

Thank you Durham. You keep me on my toes, and I dig that about you. The fear that strikes me while walking your streets at night is one of those things that makes life worth living.

Thank you to the Pilgrims and Indians.

Thank you Thanksgiving. Without you, I wouldn’t be thanking anyone.

Thank you to holidays in general. We love you all.

Now, if we can only find some way to combine Thanksgiving with 4/20....

The Morning Wood is always completely stiff after, eating his Thanksgiving feast. Tom Segal is excited to draw on his uncle’s face during his annual post-meal power nap. Ifhis shoes are on, he’s fair game.
