Duke in the top ranks of universities,” President Richard Brodhead wrote in an e-mail. “They should, since this is a great place. But the numerical rankings imply a degree of precision they simply don’t have, and any year’s numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt. The best strategy is to work to make your school the best you can, and the reputation will follow.” In its annual rankings, U.S. News tabulates data from 15 indicators of academic excellence and orders the schools according to their score. A year ago, Duke fell three spots from fifth to eighth. In addition to its place in the overall rankings, Duke was mentioned in four of the eight lists of “Programs to look for”—categories described by U.S. News as “outstanding examples of academic programs that are commonly linked to student success.” Provost Peter Lange said Duke’s placement in the service learning category stems from the introduction

He earned a second appointment in September 2003.

Joe Alieva has been the director of athletics since 1998and part of the Duke staff since 1980.

“I am excited and honored to be reappointed as the director of this outstanding athletic department,” Alieva said in a statement. “We have made tremendous progress over the past nine years and there is much more to do.” In the statement, Brodhead said he has asked Alieva to construct a “comprehensive strategic plan” for Duke Athletics within the next year.

FACs raise diversity within staff Lysa Chen THE CHRONICLE

Although the First-Year Advisory Counselor Program has been criticized for its lack of diversity in past years, FAC board co-chairs Geoff Bass and Bronwyn Lewis, both seniors, said this year’s group of counselors is more ethnically diverse due to a more diverse recruitment pool.

The percentage of Asian students accepted as FACs has doubled since last year, and the number of multiracial students has seen a fivefold increase, Bass and Lewis wrote in an e-mail. Ethnic diversity, while important to the program, is not emphasized

in the selection process, the cochairs said, and greek affiliation is not considered at all. Disproportionately high numbers of fraternity- or sorority-affiliated students in the program have been one criterionfor criticism in the past. Instead, applicants are evaluated numerically based on five qualities, including peer leadership ability and Duke enthusiasm, which the program has identified as necessary to serve as an effective FAC, Bass and Lewis said. “The selection process itself places no emphasis on the diversity of individual applicants,” they said. “We

The departure of even a small number ofU.S. service members—perhaps 5,000 of the 160,000 troops in Iraq—would send a powerful message throughout the region that time was running out, Warner said. “We simply cannot as a nation stand and continue to put our troops at continuous risk of loss of life and limb without beginning to take some decisive action,” he told reporters after a White House meeting with Bush’s top aides.

Anne Flaherty THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON—President George W. Bush should start bringing home some troops by Christmas to show the Baghdad government that the U.S. commitment in Iraq is not open-ended, a prominent Republican senator said Thursday. The move puts John Warner, a former Navy secretary and one-time chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, at odds with the president, who says conditions on the ground should dictate deployments. Warner, R-Va., said the troop withdrawals are needed because Iraqi leaders have failed to make substantial political progress, despite an

top military commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker are expected to briefmembers on the war’s progress. A White House spokesman, Gordon Johndroe, declined to say whether Bush might consider Warner’s suggestion. Asked whether Bush would leave the door open to setting a timetable, Johndroe said, “I don’t think the president feels any differendy about setting a specific timetable for withdrawal. I just think it’s important that we wait right now to hear from our commanders on the ground about the way ahead.” SEE IRAQ ON PAGE 14

Duke sets to

Med center rated number

review

A seven-member committee will assess President Richard Brodhead’s first three years at Duke in a report to the Board of Trustees. The committee, comprised of four members of the Board and three faculty members, will focus on gathering information related to Brodhead’s efficacy in leading the University. It will be led by Dan Blue, Law ’73, a Raleigh attorney who is a former speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives and vice chair of the Board. “We’re looking Richard Brodhead forward to hearing what people think about the effectiveness of the president in leading the University, articulating a vision for its future and advancing its interests,” Blue said in a statement. He said the committee sought comment from members of the Duke community and would solicit them in campus news oudets. Information will be treated confidentially, he added. “Since 1982, Duke has a system of regular reviews ofits presidents, officers and deans,” Board Chair Robert Steel, Trinity ’73. said in a statement. “It’s a process we find extremely valuable, helping us learn not only about the individuals involved but also some of the issues and challenges facing the University.” The review will be completed by the end of the calendar year. Like other top officers, Brodhead’s contract runs in five-year terms, but the committee is a fact-finding body only and will not make a recommendation.

Duke University Medical Center has been named the seventh-best hospital in the nation by U.S. News & World Report’s annual Honor Roll of America’s Best Hospitals, tying the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center for the position. DUMC was also ranked seventh in 2006, and has been listed in the top 10 since the the special issue debuted in 1989. DUMC was the only hospital in North Carolina and in the Southeast to be included in this year’s top 10. “We are pleased that U.S. News & World Report has once again included Duke amongst the very best medical centers in the United States,” Dr. William Fulkerson, CEO of Duke University Hospital, told DukeMedNews. “This designation is a reflection of the talent and dedication of our physicians, nurses and staff.” Out of the some 6,000 hospitals in the U.S., only 173 made the honor roll. The 18 hospitals named in the magazine’s July 25 issue had to exhibit strength in at least six of 16 specialties evaluated on three equallyweighted elements: reputation, death rate and care-related factors. Reputation is measured by a random sampling of board-certified doctors rather than statistical evidence taken from clinical work or research. DUMC representatives have said in years past that this element could make rankings arbitrary, especially because some specialties, including ophthalmology, are only evaluated under this consideration. Duke ranked in the top 25 of the honor roll for 15 of the assessment areas and received 18 points for ranking in the top 10 in 10 specialties. Last year, it only scored highly in 14 areas. DUMC improved from 2006 in Gynecology, Orthopedics, Ear/Nose/Throat and Otolaryngology, Digestive/Gastroenterology and Ophthalmology, but fell in eight areas and did not score as well in Pediatrics this year. Duke was ranked behind Johns Hopkins Hospital—ranked first for the 18th consecutive year—the Mayo Clinic, the University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

The long-range strategy for athletics will likely include plans for facilities—like the proposed Wallace Wade Stadium renovations slated to come before the Board of Trustees at its next meeting—as well as how better to bridge the “athletic-academic divide,” which was brought to the forefront of University discourse in light of the lacrosse scandal. In Alieva’s tenure, Duke has won six national championships, 44 ACC championships and has produced 147 All-Americans. Yet there have been several highly publicized issues that affected the department profoundly, from a steroid scandal in 2005 to the circumstances surrounding the lacrosse case. “The situation of college athletics is changing rapidly and in challenging ways,” Brodhead said. “We want to be foresightful in being prepared for these

Nasher event aims to promote campus culture by

Shuchi Parikh THE CHRONICLE

Tonight the new freshman class will gather for a night of art, class and chit-chat at the Nasher Museum of Art. Running for its second year, “A Night at the Nasher” is an orientation event meant to expose students to the campus arts scene, which has taken a new lead in campus culture as a tenet of the University’s strategic plan, “Making a Difference.” A plan for greater investment in the arts —including creating more on-campus venues and bringing in leading faculty—was outlined in “Making a Difference,” the strategic plan released last October. There is also a push to bring arts to the forefront of undergraduate campus culture, said Steve Nowicki, dean of undergraduate education. “The arts are sort of the hidden treasure here,” he said. “What we want to do...is make it a centerpiece of the Duke experience.” Although the strategic plan was released after orientation last year, the orientation team knew the arts objective was a major aspect of the plan, said Associate Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi. “A Night at the Nasher” was created with that objective in mind, and engages students through a contest with questions about the exhibits. “We bring them into the museum to show them some of the great resources we have,” Lombardi said. “We don’t just want it to be a cool place to have a party, we want it to be an art museum—and that’s where intellectual curiosity is based.” He said he expects a greater focus on the arts for future orientations. Nowicki said there are both big and small ways to enhance the arts at Duke. He added that he would like art to begin to inhabit many arenas of campus life, from live performances and events to paintings and sculptures around campus. ‘We all want to make it so Duke students have a broad range of things to engage them here at Duke,” he said. In an effort to strengthen the arts, Provost Peter Lange appointed Scott lindroth as the University’s first vice provost for the arts, effective in July. And lindroth is brimming with ideas, from a collaborative arts grant for faculty to documentaries aboutjoint work between students and faculty to be shown around campus. Lindroth added that this year’s program-

The Nasher Museum of Art will host "Night at the Nasher" Friday night as the first of a numberof events planned for the upcoming year.

ming for Duke Performances is the first to include a series, which makes it easy for faculty to bring the arts into the classroom. He added that there is also a search for a permanent director ofDuke Performances with whom faculty can collaborate. “One of the things that we’re interested in is to link events more substantially to the arts curriculum, so we have faculty who are part of the planning process of programming at Duke Performances,” he said. In planning the season’s events, there

has been a “conscious effort to bring programming that meets the student population halfway,” said Aaron Greenwald, interim director of Duke Performances. Greenwald said “strategic funding” from senior leadership has allowed for programs that are more conducive and popular to students. “The whole season of programming is slightly more accessible and less esoteric,” he said. “It tries to provide context in away that Duke Performances hasn’t in the past.” Greenwaldalso pointed to the Thelonious

Durham looks into four murders from summer by

Katie Noto

THE CHRONICLE

Police are investigating four homicides that occurred in Durham the week of June 25 to July 1. Quincy Bowens, 15, died in a drive-by shooting on South Roxboro Street June 25 while trying to protect his younger cousin. The following day, Roderick Lynn Butler, 39, was killed by a gunshot in his Burlington Avenue home. Arturo Gonzalez Villalpando, 38, was allegedly stabbed to death by his roommate June 30 in theirWest Trinity Avenue apartment. The fourth homicide took place July 1, when Darraies McClain, 26, was shot through the window of his car while stopped at a red light on Midland Terrace. “We have made arrests in two of the four homicides,” Eammie Michael, public information officer for the Durham Police Department, wrote in an e-mail. “We have good leads in the other two cases.” Prosecutors have charged Alejandro Gonzalez with the death ofhis roommate, Villalpando. They have also arrested Jevon Rogers, 28, in connection with at least one of the other three homicides. Rogers has been charged with Bowens’ murder, and may be connected with three other shootings that week, one of them resulting in McClain’s death. According to police records, Rogers has had more than 20 convictions related to drugs and assault

since 1995 and was also involved in a non-fatal shooting in July. Jusdn Parker, 18, was also arrested in early August in relation to McClain’s death. These deaths bring Durham’s homicide total to at least 12 thus far in 2007. There were 15 homicides in Durham in all of last year. Mayor Bill Bell cited the murders as evidence of increasing violence—not just in Durham, but everywhere. Michael, however, said she did not feel that the murders were indicative of a trend of rising violence in Durham. “We have the same number ofhomicides now that we had at this time last year and our violent crime for the first half of 2007 is significantly lower than the first six months of 2006,” Michael said. “Durham’s violent crime per 100,000 people was 30 percent lower in 2006 than it was 10 years earlier.” Major Phyllis Cooper of the Duke University Police Department said DUPD works to make students and employees aware of crimes that occur in Durham. “We partner with [DPD], and try to find ways to assist in any way we can in our area and in the community where our students live,” Cooper said. “Durham has really done a great job. They are working towards making Durham a good place to live, and I think the community is pleased with their efforts.”

achieve diversity within the program by making a concerted effort to attract a diverse applicant pool, out of which the most qualified candidates tend to fit University-wide diversity statistics.” Kyle White, Trinity ’O7, a former member of the FAC board, said the program tries to achieve diversity by attracting a large pool of applicants instead of filling quotas but said other similar programs inhibit that goal. “For instance, the Freeman Center has their own version of the FAC program, so kids who are Jewish might be inclined to be mentors at the Freeman Center instead,” White said. He said diversity is very important for the program to make freshmen feel welcome, but sophomore FAC Maja Falcon said she was surprised that the ethnic makeup of the program was a concern. “I don’t think it’s an issue, because the schoolis diverse,” Falcon said. “Whether the people helping you unload your stuff are of certain races isn’t an issue.” If the program were to add ethnicity to its selection process, Falcon said she would be disappointed. “They don’t ask us what our race is on our application, and it should stay that way,” she said. “That just goes to show they’re not taking particular quotas. The process is fine the way it is.” Fellow FAC and sophomore Zach White, however, said that one of the program’s central goals—making freshmen feel welcome—could be hindered by a homogeneous pool. “I definitely think a lack of diversity could be perceived by incoming freshmen as a problem,” he said. “A lot of incoming freshmen might want to see a FAC and think, ‘They’re like me, and they fit in here.’ They’re looking for someone they can connect with.” Kyle White added that diversity can mean a lot of

things.

“The diversity everyone focuses on is racial and greek,” White said. “Having people who are diverse of interests and backgrounds, where they are from, is something that gets looked over. One of the best parts of the FAC program and board is diversity of interests.”

of projects such as Duke Engage, a program that funds the community service efforts of Duke students. The pilot program of Duke Engage was launched this summer. “I’m especially pleased that Duke was recognized this year in the ‘service-learning’ category, reflecting the priority we have given to expanding such opportunities for students and to putting knowledge in the service of society more broadly,” he said in a statement. John Burness, vice president for public affairs and government relations, said the rankings do not affect his impression of an institution, but that Duke’s place in the top 10 is an accurate assessment. “Do I consider Duke among the top institutions in the country? Yes,” he said. “Is it nice to have U.S. News confirm that? Yes. But I don’t put too much stock in the rank-

It’s a useful thing for people to see but it’s not the basis for choosing.” Bumess also noted that the overall rankings evaluate universities with liberal arts colleges the same way they evaluate universities that offer only technology-based curricula—such as the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “MIT is a great institution and Duke is a great institution, but they are very different,” he said. “Still, they were ranked in the same group.” Lange said he hopes Duke students and prospective Duke students will look to the U.S. News rankings as just one of the factors used when evaluating a university. “As always, we acknowledge the limitations of these and other rankings and urge anyone considering applying to college to use the rankings as only one, and certainly not the most informative and important, ofmany possible sources of information,” he said.

Duke Med treats VaTech students Three Virginia Tech students who were brought to Duke University Medical Center for carbon monoxide poisoning treatment are in good condition, officials said. The 19-year-old sophomores—Elizabeth Burgin, Carolyn Dorman and Nichole Howarth—arrived Sunday at the Medical Center’s hyperbaric medicine center. The hyperbaric chamber, a standard treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning, pushes pressurized oxygen into tissues and blood. Duke is one of the few medical centers in the Southeast to have a hyperbaric chamber that can handle multiple patients at once. “I was speaking with them while they were in the chamber, and all three said that

they felt stronger and more alert shordy after the chamber was fully pressurized,” Bret Stolp, associate professor of anesthesiology and a specialist in hyperbaric medicine, said in a statement. “These women benefit-

ed from excellent care and quick decision making at Blacksburg, [Va.,] which has given them the best possible chances for a full recovery.” All three are expected to be released from the hospital Tuesday. Taheri-Azar trial date set for March Judge Michael Morgan set a trial date for the week ofMarch 31,2008 for Mohammed Taheri-Azar, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill alumnus who was arrested after he drove his car through the

Pit, a social area on UNO’s campus, during a court appearance Wednesday. On March 3, 2006, Taheri-Azar drove his Jeep Grand Cherokee through the Pit, hitting nine students, none of whom were fatally injured. He was charged with nine counts of attempted first-degree murder, five counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury and four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. At the court appearance, Taheri-Azar’s lawyer appealed for a reduction in his bond, which had been set at $5.5 million, to somewhere between $500,000 and $750,000. The bond request was denied.

IRAQ from page 2 Republicans, including Warner, have so far stuck with Bush and rejected Democratic proposals demanding troops leave Iraq by a certain date. But an increasing number of GOP members have said they are uneasy about the war. Warner, known for his party loyalty, said he still opposes setting a fixed timetable on the war or forcing the president’s hand. Nevertheless, his suggestion of troop withdrawals is likely to embolden Democrats and rile some of his GOP colleagues, who insist lawmakers must wait until Petraeus testifies. His stature on military issues also could sway some Republicans who have been reluctant to challenge Bush. Warner said he came to his conclusion

Levin said this week that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki should be replaced. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, followed suit and told reporters Thursday that Maliki has been “a failure.” Warner said he “could not go that far” to call for Maliki’s resignation. But he said he did have serious concerns about the effectiveness of the current leadership in Baghdad, which a U.S. intelligence report released Thursday also cited. The National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq does not anticipate a political reconciliation in the next year and predicts the Iraqi government will become “more precarious” because of criticism from various sectarian groups.

Head coach John Rennie announced Monday that his 29th season at Duke will also be his last. Rennie, who currendy ranks sixth alltime on the NCAA Division-I career win list, not only raised the Duke program into national prominence but also brought the school its first national tide in any sport when he coached the Blue Devils to a NCAA championship in 1986. “My decision to make the 2007 season my last at Duke was finalized over the last several weeks,” Rennie said. “I absolutely love my job. However, it is time to move onto a new chapter in my career.” Before the coach moves on, however, he has one last chance to bolster his already established legacy built upon fiveACC Championships, 19 NCAA tournament appearances and five NCAA College Cups. The Blue Devils enter this season ranked fourth in the country, behind UC Santa Barbara, UCLA and conference foe Wake Forest. As for a replacement, Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said a national search will start once the 2007 season is over. Rennie said he would like to see someone affiliated with Duke take the helm of the program he built, citing current assistant Mike Jeffries a possible choice. “He’s obviously a superb candidate,” Rennie said. “And there are others out there as well. I think that if you’re looking to hire the best coach available, you don’t have to look outside the Duke family.” For now, however, Rennie is focused on one goal. “We had 13 seniors on this team, now we have 14,” Rennie said. “Seniors always want to go out on top.”

Reigning Tewaarton Award winner Matt Danowski may suit up again this spring for theBlue Devils in search for the nationaltitle that has eluded him and his teammates in two of the last three seasons.

Five seniors from the 2006-2007 men’s lacrosse team have gained acceptance into graduate programs at Duke and are exploring their options for returning next season. Matt Danowski, Dan Loftus, Nick O’Hara and Mike Ward were accepted into the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program and Tony McDevitt was admitted into the Fuqua School of Business, a source inside the Department ofAthletics said. Ward—who already had been accepted to several law schools, including ACC-rival Maryland—was one of two players who had asked for his release from Duke earlier this summer, head coach John Danowski said. Now he is the newest Blue Devil to be thrown into the mix of players seeking to exercise their extra year of eligibility at Duke. Non-seniors from the cancelled 20052006 season were given the opportunity to compete for a fifth year when the NCAA granted Duke’s season-of-competition waiver request May 30. Despite being admitted to Duke, the players still face the complication of finances; whether scholarships will be available and, if not, whether a return to Duke is financially feasible. As a result of last season’s small recruiting class, there might be some athletic scholarship money remaining. SEE M. LAX ON PAGE

WOMEN'S GOLF

Blumenherst falls short at U.S. Am by

Will Flaherty THE CHRONICLE

Amanda Blumenherst found her groove in the 36-hole match play final of the 2007 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship. Unfortunately for the Duke junior, her competitor did, too. Blumenherst three-putted on the 35th hole during the final round Aug. 12, allowing Maria Jose Uribe to draw ahead with a par putt that put her ahead for good to win the tide at the at the 6,595-yard, Par-72 Crooked Stick GolfClub in Carmel, Ind. Although Blumenherst left the tournament without a title, Duke head women’s golf coach Dan Brooks still was impressed by her performance. “It was the best golf I’d seen someone play for so many holes,” Brooks said. “95 percent of that golf out there was amazing. She split the fairways with long drives. She stuck it close with her approach shots. She made really, really good putts. “Uribe had to play great golf, and Amanda just had some putts get away from her on the last nine.” Blumenherst’s short game was her undoing in the final round. The reigning National Player of the Year missed putts on the 29th, 30th and 31st holes, allowing Uribe to climb into the lead

1-up after the 13th hole. Blumenherst evened the score on the following hole, but Uribe took final control after the 35th. “I felt like I was putting great strokes on them and they just weren’t going in,” Blumenherst said after the final round. “I lipped just so many. It was getting very frustrating. And I mean, really, if those putts, instead of lipping out had gone in, I putted just as well as the last few days. [lt’s] the law of averages, I guess.” Blumenherst played with a large cheering section—all dressed in polo shirts to match the junior’s Sunday green. Her family has deep ties to the area, and she grew up in Fort Wayne, Ind., about two hours away from Crooked Stick. “It was just a great experience having family dinners,” Blumenherst said. “We thought, should we split up a table of eight and seven so we can get food faster? But we decided to all sit together.

the Venezuelans missed their payment deadline, FIBA Americas reopened the bidding. The United States, by then having been forced to qualify for the Olympics after not winning the world championships, decided to bid and beat San Juan, Puerto Rico by committing to pay FIBA Americas more than $3 million. And yet, it still felt a bit like a road game. “I almost forgot we were in the United States for a minute—we’re so used to playing overseas in these kinds of tournaments,” Anthony said. The quiet atmosphere may have contributed to the slow start for the Americans, who didn’t pull away until the second quarter. Las Vegas has a large basketball fan base, but maybe it’s already seen enough this year. The city hosted the NBA’s All-Star festivities in February, Greg Oden and Kevin Durant made their first pro appearances here in summer league, and the U.S. team closed its minicamp last month at Thomas & Mack by drawing 15,132fans for an intrasquad game. Bryant made the game-winning shot that night, continuing a big year in Vegas that saw him win MVP honors at the AllStar game. He was one of the few players that weekend to say he was against the city getting an NBA team, joking that the Lakers, who regularly make preseason appearances here, already have all their fans. “This is like home away from home,” he said after Wednesday’s game. “We come here so much and the fans don’t have a SEE TEAM USA ON PAGE 24

Tauiliili is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 4, and head coach Ted Roof said in a release that he must obey internal sanctions to remain on the team. “From the start, we wanted to reach a decision that is fair to Michael, our team, the athletic department and the University,” Roof said. “We also will allow the judicial system [to] run its course, and the outcome of that process could require further disciplinary action.” In his first two seasons at Duke, Tauiliili led the team with 92 and 94 tackles in 2005 and 2006, respectively, Duke to play 12 contests in front of television audience In her first season leading the Blue Devils, head coach Joanne P.

Although the team will only compete in one match play tournament this season, Brooks feels that the experience will benefit the mental aspect of Blumenherst’s game. “That’s part of the nice thing about match play,” Brooks said. “Part of it is an endurance test. You’re trying to see who can stay with it mentally until the end. It’s

certainly more challenging mentally than a stroke-play tournament.” Blumenherst agrees that the pressure cooker atmosphere of the U.S. Amateur will pay off once the college season kicks off. “The more experience you have in a tournament situation, the better you’re going to become, handling the pressure and being able to play well,” Blumenherst said. “Especially national championships, hitting a drive, knowing that your team is counting on you, it definitely gives—prepares you to have confidence and also know what’s at stake.”

At that meeting, he emphasized that each player’s decision should be based on his individual growth and not lacrosse. “I’m not going to tell you to come back because I think you’re a great player,” Danowski said. “There’s no such thing here as a hired gun. You’re not coming back here just to play lacrosse. You’re coming back here because this is the best possible thing for you.” McDevitt, a third-team All-American in 2007, had ajob with Merrill Lynch lined up for the fall. In making his decision, McDevitt took his coach’s advice to heart. “I get a chance to enhance my educational experience at Duke and to further my resume,” McDevitt said. “To get two degrees from Duke—that would be unbelievable.” The defenseman also said the chance to return to the field played a role in his choice to try to come back. “We get to play another year,” McDevitt said. “And you get to play lacrosse with your best friends....

VOLLEYBALL

TEAM USA from page 20

Blue Devils to host weekend invitational If its schedule is any indication, No. 18 Duke isn’t afraid of a challenge. Head coach Jolene Nagel said she talked to her players A about their 2007 nonconference slate before VS. it was finished, asking them whether they wanted to play some of the nation’s top teams SUNDAY, 7 p.m. right out of the gate. Koskinen Stadium ‘Soas a team> the Blue Devils agreed they would play No. 1 Nebraska, No. 6 Southern California and No. 13 Purdue in the first two weeks of their season. The Boilermakers come to Durham today as one of four teams in the field for the 2007 Duke Invitational. “We committed to USC and Nebraska back-to-back weekends before Purdue determined that they were going to come to Durham,” Nagel said. “Having a Pur-

team here, so they’re all Lakers fans and we

had the opportunity to be with each other since my first year in the NBA.” Perhaps fans just didn’t feel the need to rush to see the U.S. team, knowing they have plenty of time thanks to the longer-thannecessary tournament format. Assuming the Americans reach the championship game, they will have played 10 games in 12 days. Crowds were tiny at the other three games on opening day, with few seats in the top level of the 18,000-seatarena being occupied. The UNLV ticket office said there are still plenty of tickets available for every day of the tournament, which ends Sept. 2. U.S. head coach Mike Krzyzewski wasn’t going to complain about the crowd. After receiving some scattered boos during games here the past two years—likely stemming from Duke’s victory over unbeaten UNLV in the 1991 Final Four —he’ll take whatever support he can get. “They were a very vocal and appreciative crowd. I think because there are four games in and 10 games in 12 days and it’s summer,” he said. “We appreciate the fan support and it was a televised game and that has something to do with it I’m sure. I think the fans were very appreciative ofboth teams.”

due come to Durham, you don’t want to that down, so we’re excited about that—to have such great competition here at home. These kids, they want the turn

challenge.” The Blue Devils take on East Carolina tonight at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The team then plays a match versus Winthrop Saturday at 10 a.m. followed by a battle with the Boilermakers at 7 p.m. Nagel said that although this weekend will be a tough one for Duke, it will also be a rewarding one for the pre-season favorites to win the ACC. The senior core of Ali Hausefeld, Carrie DeMange and Jenny Shull looks to pace the Blue Devils through their tough non-conference schedule in the quest to repeat as conference champions and earn an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament.

The following tidbits would help. Let’s start small. You’ve kristin butler probably heard that Duke with all deliberate speed students are required to complete five “graduation requirements.” If not, memorize them now: (1) have sex in the library stacks; (2) have sex in the gardens; (3) explore the tunnels beneath East and/or West Campus; (4) scale the dome ofBaldwin Auditorium; and (5) drive backwards around the West Campus circle. To be totally honest, I’ve never heard ofanyone tackling the last two. Save your energy for the first three, and pursue themwith abandon. But do keep in mind that penalties for getting caught range from traffic citations to campus judicial action, and you do not want a piece of the latter. Godspeed. Oh, and one aside on having sex in the stacks: As a former library employee, I promise that Perkins Level D is not a “sneaky” place to go for it, even at 4 a.m. The security guards know the lights are not supposed to be turned off, and if they catch you they may post your name and photo for all to see. How embarrassing. Now you may be wondering, in the wake of our lacrosse controversy, whether it’s a good idea to spend much time in Durham. The answer is absolutely. Durham is a charming little city, and there are great places to eat (including merchants not on points), unique sights to see and authentic Southern drawls to hear.Let’s face it, you’d never get to learn on campus that “Nawth Cackalacky” is slang for North Carolina, so go out and experience the South on its own terms. Rewards will be forthcoming. There are, of course, a few exceptions to this rule. As any upperclassman can tell you, Durham police often don’t let the constitution get in their way when making arrests. Be careful when venturing offcampus after hours, and for God’s sake don’t antagonize the Trinity Park residents when you do. Shocldngly, they don’t appreciate it when Duke students pee on their lawns, and they’re liable to do something aboutit. Also, you should know that there’s lead in the *

water here,

along with “slightly” high levels of two ominous-sounding organic compounds (trihalo-

methanes and haloacetic acids). I’m told that the on-campus risk for students is fairly low, but bladder cancer is not something I take lightly. So drink with caution. Or just drink botded. Your choice. A couple of thoughts on classes and class attendance: As much as it sucks, you really do have to go to class. I know what a hardship it is to roll out of bed at 1:10 p.m. every day, but you will fail one (or more) courses ifyou don’t. No exceptions. And remember, one or more ‘F”s during your first semester will get you an academic warning, probation or (worst case) dismissal. Plus, your GPA will never recover. You don’t want to spend your next seven semesters making up for that first one. Seriously. Although it’s a bad idea to lie or cheat in general, you should keep a couple of things in mind if you decide to tempt fete: Professors can check the date you started a Word document, so don’t insult their intelligence. Moreover, Duke has contracted in the past with an Internet service, Tumitin.com, that scan your paper for signs ofplagiarism. Odds are you won’t fool the computer, so don’tbe the one who throws it all away for an illicit paragraph. After everything you went through to get here, it’s just not worth it. Now ifyou ever do have a run-in with our vaunted judicial board, keep this in mind: You have very few rights. Your relationship with this University is contractual (not constitutional) and Duke can terminate that contract for an astonishing variety of reasons. These are not trials. There are no protections against double jeopardy and beating criminal charges oftenis not enough. You will still have to answer to the Undergraduate Judicial Board for your conduct, and crimes that occurred half a world away or during your Summer Break are fair game. So keep your nose clean and remember Dick Brodhead is watching you. This final point is important: Adjusting to college is a bitch at first. It’s normal to (desperately) miss your old life for a time, and don’t feel like a fraud if you don’t “settle in” as quickly as others expect. There is a place for you here, and your primaryjob as a freshman (besides showing up to class) is to be patient while you search. I say that because three years from now, when you’re in my shoes, I think you’ll agree that Duke is well worth the (occasionally painful) journey into adulthood it demands. You’ll often hear it repeated that with our great privileges come responsibilities, which is certainly true. But first among those responsibilities is to make effective use ofyour time here, and to not get kicked out. Good luck, and welcome! Kristin Butler is a Trinity senior. Her column will every Tuesday.

GUERRERO/THE CHRONICLE

President Richard Brodhead delivers his convocation address to members of the Class of 2011 Wednesday in the Chapel.

Together Thefollowing is an excerptfrom President Richard Brodhead’s convocation address to freshmen, delivered in the Chapel Wednesday: of 2011, what a happy morning: You’re together at last. As recently as March, you were total strangers randomly distributed across this country and the world, with nothing in common but great promise. But now comes the real thing, the assembly of a critical mass of highly combustible talent, the Duke freshman class 1,700 strong, ready to befriend each other and spark each other to an explosion of personal growth. Men and women of 2011, my warmest welcome to Duke. Like other schools, we jT T TT T talk about these first few FIChSKI brodll6d(fl days in the language of COilVOCdtiotl address orientation. As you know, orientation is a compass word—orient means the East, from oriri, to rise; and the word suggests that you’ll be lost in space, disoriented, until you learn the coordinates for charting your way. You’ll learn many things this week, but my job could be to name the cardinal points of Duke’s compass, the values you’ll need to observe to navigate this new world. As with the compass, there are four. First, Duke is a place for excellence. Whether it’s on our famous athletic teams or our no-less-famous research activities, this place becomes Duke to the extent that people recognize the difference between the best and the very good and are willing to work the extra measure to achieve the best. Second, Duke is a place ofcommunity. Duke is different from some places where people are driven to outstanding achievement in that at Duke, it’s not about doing better than someone else. This is an amazingly friendly place, a place where people ofextraordinarily various backgrounds learn to accomplish things together they couldn’t achieve on their own. You will find it so. Help keep it so! Third, every thing we do at Duke is done for the sake of education. By education we mean the continual deepening of your grasp of the world and strengthening of your capacities to act intelligently in that world. Please don’t settle for a lesser goal. If you have a smaller aim, you’ll get a Duke degree, but you won’t get a Duke education. Excellence pursued as a community toward the end of ongoing education—that’s a fair description ofDuke’s project. But my fourth value is as important as any other, since without it there’s no reaching the other three. With my current fondness for the letterE, I’ll call it engagement. You’ve come to a place extraordinarily rich in opportunities. But like certain famous energy sources, Duke’s offerings will remain inert until something is added to start the reaction. The missing ingredient is your personal engagement your taking the initiative to seek and seize opportunities and to charge them with your energies of mind. I’m not asking that you just keep busy. Being tightly scheduled is not the same thing as being engaged. And I’m not asking that you

model your life on anyone else’s; the proof that you’re engaged will be that your Duke career will have its own distinctive plot, driven by your gifts, your passions, your concerns. Your class will be the first to have full access to something highly relevant to what I’m describing—the program called (did you guess it?) Duke Engage. We want to challenge you (and will assist you) to find ways to complement your academic study with involvement in real-world problem solving, in settings reaching from Durham around the world. I could see future versions ofyou in the Duke students who used their public policy training this summer to help complete a crucial study for the government of New Orleans, where officials singled them out for their vital role helping the city qualify for $3OO million in federal disaster funding. Or I could see you in the premed major—a noted member of our women’s basketball team—whose blog I’ve followed while she worked in the highlands of Guatemala introducing small stoves into areas that previously cooked on minimally ventilated indoor fires, causing high levels of respiratory disease. DukeEngage will make a great complement to the education we give on campus. But being engaged means more than signing up for a program with the word in the title. I’m inviting you to see every chance that comes to you every day as something you could meet either in a more active or in a more detached fashion; and this includes your dealings with each other. Colleges have no greater joy than the endlessly fresh, utterly unforeseen ways that groups of students come together to do things just because they seem like they would be good or fun to do—play sports, make films, plan concerts or comedy shows, join neighborhood service programs. This group creativity is a source of exuberant delight, but it’s also more than that. The literature of global competitiveness suggests that the people who will have most success in the future won’t be those who have mastered fixed skills but those deeply practiced in a flexible, enterprising, self-activating creativity, and in pulling teams together across boundaries to improvise ways to solve problems or capture opportunities. So if you hang back, if you don’t mix it up with all the miscellaneous human talent that now surrounds you, then you’re going to lose both short- and long-term: Your present life will be less interesting and your future powers will stay undeveloped. A great experience awaits you, but more than you have probably imagined, the value of that experience is yours to determine. Invest this place with the full measure of your curiosity, intelligence, creativity, and human warmth and the returns will be, as they say, priceless. We want you not just to attend Duke but to own it. Last spring we admitted you. Now it’s time to come take possession. Richard Brodhead is the ninth president

and ‘ma’am’

was obvious to my coworkers in Roxboro, N.C., that I was not a son of the South and had never been in the military. Had it been otherwise, the ‘Yes, sir” and “No, sir” I was hearing from the scowling adolescent in the outpatient mental health consulting room would not have sounded so foreign, even unnerving, to me. I was a newly transplanted Yankee” social worker, in my late 20s (thus, I barely considered myself deserving of adult status), accustomed to the disrespect and foul mouths of Chicago’s urban teens. Yet sitting before me was a youngster —in some places he would have been called a juvenile delin-

William meyer me queru—addressing with a formality such that guest commentary I had never heard. Now, nearly 30 years later, I have developed a fondness for the graciousness and good manners of Southerners, both children and adults, and I appreciate the efforts of Southern parents to instill in their children behaviors that include politeness and demonstrations of respect for their elders. In more recent years, as I have become acculturated to Southern ways, I no longer flinch when I hear “How are you, sir?” or “Have a good day, sir.” These often-melodic greetings have become a common part of my workaday life and are as welcome to me as a lilting breeze on a sweltering day. At my current job, at Duke University’s Medical Center, I arrive professionally attired, typically in tie and buttoned-down Oxford. It has not escaped my attention that the people who most often greet me with such deference are differently attired. Mostly, but not always, they are the bus drivers, the wall-painters, the housekeepers, the food-and-maintenance workers and others who are in the lower-paying jobs of a medical center. Frequently, they are black. As I considered this and the Southern legacy of social respect, I reflected that age and perceived social status often determined who would be called sir or ma’am. To be sure, such greetings had always been reserved for the preacher, the schoolteacher, one’s parents, grandparents and so forth. Across racial lines, however, race overrode all other considerations. The conventions of not too many decades past found black men and women being referred to as “Jimmy” or “Bessie” while white children might, in turn, be called Miss Susie and Master John. A Southern black adult would have been foolhardy not to refer to any white adult as anything other than “sir” (or “suh”) or “ma’am.” This brings me to my own personal reparations project. Now, when I encounter other adults, especially black adults, and even more especially if I see that they are bluecollar or working-class, what I do is say, “Good morning, sir,” “How are you, ma’am.” I try to say this in away that is not in any way patronizing, not the least bit over the top, but simply in a manner that conveys my respect for their dignity and humanity. It is, after all, such a simple thing to do. Yet, each time I do this, I am pleasantly responded to in away that brings me a small measure of joy. Additionally, I have noticed that those who I address with this courtesy seem to raise their heads ever more slightly. Some might advocate that good manners should be extended to everyone. Who would argue? But I think that misses the point, the point ofreparations. If the downtrodden became so because they were diminished by those of higher social standing, then their descendants might well be enhanced by demonstrations of respect and kindness proffered from all of us. I welcome opportunities to be part of that effort. I know full well that such humble gestures do not address the larger, more contentious issues of reparations. Namely, what should be the moral and ethical obligations of a society that benefited so greatly from the servitude of and discrimination against a whole segment of its people? But, it is a step, a Southern step, if you will, of civility, long ago taught by a troubled adolescent to a once ill-manneredYankee.
