The New York Attorney General’s office issued subpoenas to five study abroad providers last month in an investigation into possible incentives providers give to universities for attracting students. Two of these providers, the Institute for Study Abroad at Butler University and the Arcadia University Center for Education Abroad, are on the Duke Office of Study Abroad’s list of approved organizations. N.Y Attorney General Andrew Cuomo delivered the subpoenas in response to a story in The New York Times that disclosed the perks study abroad providers offer universities for Margaret Riley directing students to them. Glides claim these perks, which include discounted travel and cash bonuses for university officials, limit options for students and increase the price of studying abroad. In response to the disclosures, the Office of Study Abroad recently underwent an informal review of Duke’s policies, Provost Peter Lange said. “When the [attorney general] in New York raises a set of issues and you don’t want to get caught in whatever difficulties, you want to be sure you’re behaving in an appropriate and responsible manner,” he said. He added that the informal review resulted in no indication of incentives or perks at the University. This review was preceded by a formal internal audit in January and February of 2007, Associate Dean Margaret Riley, director of the Office of Study Abroad, wrote in an e-mail. She said both her office and the providers it works with adhere to the same code of ethics. The University does not solicit approaches from providers and its approval process is student-initiated, she added. “The articles in The [New York] Times... have caused a variety of individuals to inquire about Duke’s position regarding the issues raised,” Riley said. “We have responded that our policies and procedures are ethical and legal, and do not involve the

Mike Nifong will spend Friday night in jail. Nifong, the former Durham district attorney, was sentenced to serve one day in jail last Friday after being held in contempt of court by Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith. Disbarred in June for ethics violations, Nifong could have been sentenced to as many as 30 days in jail and required to pay a $5OO fine. The ruling came after a hearing Friday. Smith found that Nifong had lied to the court during his testimony last Sep-
DNA test. North Carolina law requires prosecutors to provide defense attorneys with any evidence that is possibly exculpatory. Smith found that Nifong had knowingly provided defense attorneys with an incomplete report. The omitted data contained test results showing the DNA offour men—none of whom were Duke lacrosse players —on Crystal Mangum, the exotic dancer who claimed she was sexually assaulted at a March 2006 party held by the lacrosse team. Nifong denied last Friday that he had

He did, however, admit that the report he provided was incomplete. “It was never my intention to mislead this or any other court,” Nifong said. “All the statements that I made to the court... I believed to be true.” The omissions resulted from a misunderstanding, said Dr. Brian Meehan, the director of DNA Security, Inc., the private lab that prepared the DNA report. “My company and the company’s assessment of that document request was SEE NIFONG ON PAGE 4

N.Korea will disable nuclear program Eliane Engcler THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GENEVA North Korea agreed Sunday to account for and disable its atomic programs by the end of the year, offering its first timeline for a process long sought by nuclear negotiators, the chiefU.S. envoy said. Kim Gye Gwan, head of the North Korean delegation, said separately his country’s willingness to cooperate was clear—in return for “political and economic compensation”—but he mentioned no dates. Christopher Hill, a U.S. assistant secretary of state, said two days of talks between the United States and North Korea in Geneva had been “very good and very
substantive” and would help improve chances of a successful meeting later this month with Japan, Russia, South Korea and China in six-nation talks aimed at ending the North’s nuclear weapons program and improving relations between North Korea and other countries. “One thing that we agreed on is that the DPRK will provide a full declaration of all of their nuclear programs and will disable their nuclear programs by the end of this year, 2007,” Hill told reporters, using the initials for the Democratic People’s Republic ofKorea. Hill said the declaration will also include uranium enrichment programs, which the United States fears could be used to make
nuclear weapons. “When we say all nuclear programs, we mean all,” he said. He said later in response to a question from The Associated Press that it was the first time that North Korea had ever offered a timeline for declaring and disabling its nuclear program. Kim said, “We agreed a lot of things between the United States and the DPRK We are happy with the way the peace talks went.” “We made it clear, we showed clear willingness to declare and dismande all nuclear facilities,” he said.

Most students were unaware of the report’s release, but upon hearing of the findings and analyses of April 16, believed that the events of that day could not have been foreseen or handled differently. Freshman Dani Bemabe was among those students. “It can happen at any college,” she said. “You can write so many reports, but it already happened and you can’t change that.” JuniorLilian Tetteh said she didn’tthink anything more could have been done, and

Duke pledges to integrate sustainability on campus byJinNoh THE CHRONICLE
President Richard Brodhead announced his signing of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment July 27, joining a nationwide effort by more than 300 other colleges and universities to address pressing environmental issues on campuses. By signing the ACUPCC, Duke pledged to complete a greenhouse gas emissions inventory, report target dates and milestones for becoming climate neutral within two years, integrate sustainability into the curriculum and allow public access to environmental action plans and progress reports. “Duke was built on a culture of public engagement and the belief that we have the duty to share the knowledge of our faculty and students to address pressing global issues,” Brodhead said in a statement on Environmental Sustainability at Duke, a Web site for news and information about the University’s environmental issues. “Tackling the complex problem of climate change

Dr. Brian Meehan, lab director of DNA Security, Inc., testified on former Durham DA Mike Nifong's behalf, saying there was a "misunderstanding" in the lab report.
NIFONG from page 1 that clearly there was a misunderstanding, that whoever went through that document we provided, that there were some things that they didn’t understand completely, that clearly they got wrong,” Meehan said. The two-day hearing was about preserving the integrity of the justice system, not the lacrosse case, Smith said. “It’s about the candor, accuracy and truthfulness in representations to the court, particularly in important matters where the liberties and rights to a fair trial of those accused of crime may be jeopardized by the absence of such honesty by counsel,” Smith said. “The court expects, as well it should, to be able to rely on lawyers’
representations.”
The sentencing of a district attorney to jail is nearly unprecedented, Duke Professor of Law Thomas Metzloff told
Newsday Friday. “This just doesn’t happen,” he said. “This was a very important moment because it showed that the court system really cared about what happened in this case.”
Friday’s ruling may finally give the accused former lacrosse players—Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann and David Evans, Trinity ’os—and their families a conclusion to the episode that has claimed over two years of their lives, father Kevin Finnerty told Newsday.

questionable practices outlined in the articles.” Riley added that the approved provider list will be made more broadly accessible and a statement of ethical practices will be posted reaffirming Study Abroad’s policies. “I believe that the investigations resulting from the subpoenas will determine that there are no illegal or unethical practices taking place,” she said. The subpoenas against ISA and CEA have not affected Duke’s relationships with either, she added. Lori Bauer, director of university relations at Arcadia, said CEA has received the subpoena and is complying with the attorney general. She added that CEA officials are “really confident” regard-
ing conduct. “At this point, [the subpoena] has not affected anything. We’ve been doing this for a long time and we have very transparent procedures,” Bauer said. “In fact, many universities that we’ve worked with have been very supportive of us at this time.” She added that Arcadia has provided study abroad services for approximately 40 years and has a well-established reputation. Providers offer participants logistical services to make it easier for students to take advantage of study abroad opportunities, Bauer said. “Reputable study abroad institutions provide a valuable service by making academically robust programs available to colleges and universities which are not in a position to create their own programs,” Riley said.

and professional student group focused on environmental sustainability—wrote in an e-mail thatBrodhead’s signing is a favorable move, but she expressed concerns about whether these words for change would actually lead to progress. “Certainly our green building policy and President Brodhead’s commitment to the campus climate challenge are examples and signs of progress, but we still have a long ways to go in terms of actually seeing changes in our effect on the environment,” said Conover, who is a second-year student in the masters program of environmental management. “The ideas are there but we need to work on mobilizing them.” Environmental Alliance President Vanessa BarnettLoro, a senior, voiced similar praise and skepticism of the signing ofACUPCC. “I know there are a number of staff and administrators at Duke that understand the importance of these issues,” Bamett-Loro said. “Like any complex organization, though, the University constantly has to make tough decisions about resource allocation and right now sustainability isn’t one of their top priorities.” Despite concerns for the mobilization ofACUPCC, there are signs thatDuke has the potential to reach its sustainability goals, both Conover and Bamett-Loro said, adding that the increased environmental awareness of students is one such sign. “The freshman survey that EA conducts every year shows a steady increase year to year in the percentage of students who are at least somewhat concerned about issues like water conservation and global warming,” Bamett-Loro said. “The problem is that this often doesn’t mean students are more likely to take shorter showers or less likely to drive from East to West Campus to get to class. We’re missing the next step and that’s where University policies can really make a huge difference by providing the infrastructure to support [sustainability].”

The agreement is “very significant, for sure,” said Patricia Lewis, director of the U.N. Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva, noting that North Korea had allowed U.N. inspectors back into the country and that they could verify what is declared. “Confidence can increase and we can see whether or not it’s really being shut down,” Lewis said. Hill declined to say whether the agreement would include more than the plutonium-producing nuclear reactor in Yongbyon, which North Korea shut down in July. “We have to work out some of the details on that,” Hill told reporters. “We will have a declaration in time to disable what needs to be disabled,” he said, adding that “for example the Yongbyon reactor would have to be included.” He said he and Kim had discussed a range ofissues in their two days of talks at the U.S. and North Korean missions to U.N. offices in Geneva. Kim said one of those was NorthKorea’s demand to be removed from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism. “In return for this we will receive political and economic compensation,” he said. “We wouldn’t be an enemy country anymore.” Hill said earlier Sunday that improving U.S. relations with North Korea will depend on other progress in the talks, saying it “is a relationship that we will continue to try to build step by step with the understanding that we’re not going to have a normalized relationship until we have a denuclearized North Korea.” He said he expected the next full session of the six-nation talks in mid-September would produce a “more detailed implementation plan for ‘disablement.’” The meeting in Geneva was part of a flurry of “working group” sessions called for in February’s six-nation accord in which North Korea agreed to disable its plutonium-producing nuclear reactor and declare and eventually dismantleall its nuclear activities. In exchange, the economically struggling North will receive oil and other aid. The U.S., as part of the agreement, promised to begin the process of removing the L country from the terrorism list and work toward full diplomatic relations. Daniel Pinkston, who heads the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Monterey, CA-based Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said, “I believe they’re going to do it.” But he said it was important that North Korea declare all the uranium enrichment and plutonium stocks. Years of tension and deadlock over North Korea’s nuclear program —whichupeaked with the country’s nuclear test last October started to ease in recent months as the talks have made progress. —

Blue Devils drop another heartbreaker at home by
Archith Ramkumar THE CHRONICLE
LAURA BETH DOUGLAS/THE CHRONICLE
Goalkeeper CaitlinWilliams kept the Blue Devils close in Sunday's home loss to the Hawkeyes, but the Duke offense was unable to convert on its scoring chancesand the team fell 2-0 in its second defeat of the year.
When No. 4 Duke took the field Saturday, the team was met not only by a formidable opponent in lOth-ranked lowa, but by a menacing sea of yellow in the stands as well. Buoyed by the W&M su 'rising number of fans who made DUKE the trip from Des Moines, the HawklOWA eyes (2-1) used a DUKE defensive strong performance and timely scoring to defeat Duke 2-0 at Williams Field Sunday. “It was a problem with offensive execution,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “We need to put more goals in and work on gutting it out.” Despite out-shooting the Hawkeyes 1612 and out-comering them 12-8, Duke (22) was unable to convert its goals and ultimately fell short of victory. The first half went back-and-forth until Hawkeye junior forward Lindsey Duffy broke the tie on a breakaway midway through the first half. lowa appeared to have another breakaway in the closing moments of the period, but Duke senior goalkeeper Caitlin Williams stopped the shot. The second half started similarly, with neither team able to score for over 15 minutes. With 18:50 remaining in the contest, however, the complexion of the match changed entirely. Blue Devil junior captain Courtney Elliott was set up with an open look and plenty of space, but pushed the shotwide to the right. Moments later, lowa’sLauren Pfeiffer
converted a corner to give the Hawkeyes a two-goal lead—putting the final nail in Duke’s coffin. The three-minute sequence exemplified the match, as lowa capitalized on a scoring chance while the Blue Devils could not score on an easy look. “I feel like we had an equal number, if not more, attacking opportunities than them,” Williams said. “I didn’t feel a lot ofpressure on me as a goalkeeper. We had a problem with finishing and we’ll work on it this week.” Although lowa was definitely a challenging opponent with a large raucous following, the Blue Devils placed a large amount of blame for the loss on themselves. “This team knows it’s good,” junior forward Marian Dickinson said of her team. “We know that we can play so much better than we have.” The start to 2007 is completely different from last year, when Duke reeled off four straight wins to open up its season. After dropping two games already, this young and relatively inexperienced Duke squad must learn quickly from its mistakes. In their next match, the Blue Devils will face one of their toughest conference foes, No. 2 Wake Forest. “We have to use all of the opportunities as learning experiences,” Dickinson said. “We need to learn so that when we play Wake Forest, we do win.” Duke also has positives to build off, however, as they easily took down William and Mary 3-0 Saturday. The Blue Devils out-shot the Tribe 15-2 at Williams Field and did not allow William and Mary (2-1) to get off a shot until over 15 minutes had elapsed in the first half.

After tying the game at 17, the Trojans scored the final two points and escaped with a 19-17 win. “It’s bittersweet,” senior Jenny Shull said. “We should have beat the No. 4 team in the nation, but there weren’t too many tears because it was an amazing match with great fans, and we went out and scared them to death.” Although they were frustrated by the ultimate outcome of the game, the Blue Devils’ ability to compete with one of the top programs in the country also motivates them. “This game was a snapshot of what’s left to come,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We all know this isn’t the last shot we have.

Duke began the tournament Friday afternoon with a dominating 3-0 performance against Mercer, with only one game decided by less than 15 points. The Blue Devils were given little time to rest as they played Southern California only hours later. The grueling schedule, however, proved to have little effect on Duke the next day. The Blue Devils rebounded from the latenight loss to defeat California State Northridge Saturday in three straight games. ‘You definitely have to find it in yourself to keep going and push through the exhaustion,” Shull said. “We just came off a huge match, but once it was over, we needed to refocus and start from the beginning, going back to match one.” The leadership of seniors Carrie DeMange, Ali Hausfeld and Jenny Shull once again made the difference for the Blue Devils’ overall success over the weekend. DeMange matched her former career best of 32 kills in the game against USC and was named to the all-tournament team, along with Hausfeld and Rachael Moss. Duke will continue to face the best competition as the Blue Devils travel to Lincoln Sept. 7 to take on No. 1 Nebraska in the Nebraska Players Challenge. After coming up just short against the Trojans, Duke is looking forward to getting another chance at the nation’s top teams. “We just need to rest a little bit and get our mental state back before we take on Nebraska,” Nagel said. “Our team is ready to show what Duke Volleyball is all about.”

Leon Wright returned punts Saturday against the Huskies in addition to his duties at comerback.
first victory in 21 games.But four plays into the second half, those dreams were put to rest by the left arm ofHuskies quarterback Tyler Lorenzen. Lorenzen threw two touchdowns in the third quarter to shift a 14-11 Duke halftime lead to a 25-14 deficit that the Blue Devils would never overcome. Three late fourthquarter touchdowns by Connecticut (1-0) swelled the final score to 45-14, leaving Duke (0-1) winless in their fifth straight opener. “We did so much, and we should have won the game, to be honest,” Duke comerback Leon Wright said. “The defense wore down, the offense was frustrated, we couldn’t get a good rhythm going. It hurts.” Saturday’s game at Wallace Wade Stadium began well for the Blue Devils, as the offense quickly took the ball to the end zone on a six-play, 80-yard drive keyed by a 53-yard reception by wide receiver Eron Riley. Riley’s catch on the first play of the game took Duke from its own 20-yard line to the Connecticut 32, setting up a six-yard touchdown pass to fullback Brandon King five plays later. A 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by comerback Jabari Marshall at the 10:42
mark in the second quarter gave Duke a 148 lead, which would shrink to three by the end of the period On defense, the Blue Devils held the Huskies to just three field goals through the first half, halting three UConn redzone drives at the 13,10 and one yardlines,
respectively. Despite their strong start, the Blue Devils were unable to stop the Huskies in the second half.Lorenzen hit receiver DJ. Hernandez for a 57-yard touchdown pass 1:51 into the third quarter, giving Connecticut a 18-14 lead. The Huskies then reeled off 27 unanswered second-half points and held the Blue Devils to a measly 54 yards of total offense for the remainder of the game. “Tale of two halves,” Duke head coach Ted Roof said. “We fought through some adversity in the first half [and] had the lead coming out of the first half.... At times, we didn’t execute. Coupled with playing on a short field on both sides of the ball, that’s a recipe for a disastrous halfof football.” Even though the Connecticut offense tends to rely on the running game, Duke struggled to contain the Huskies’ aerial attack. Lorenzen threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns—more than the Blue Devils’ total yardage for the game (167). And even when Lorenzen didn’t make plays with his arm, he found away to gain yardage on the ground. The junior quarterback easily outrushed the Blue Devils by himself, gaining
89 yards on 19 carries in comparison to Duke’s 24 rushing yards. “The quarterback was better than we expected, and they had better receivers,” Wright said. “We kind of underestimated them a little bit, but we played well enough to win the game. We just had little mental errors that cost us.” With an offense that struggled to move the ball effectively on the ground, Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis was forced to throwthe ball with little success. Lewis, who was 14-of-28 with a touchdown and three interceptions, repeatedly found himself in long yardage and difficult third down situations. “The game plan was to spread them out and run the ball, and if they cheat, throw the narrow routes,” Lewis said. “They kind of dropped back into coverage and everything was covered when it was a throwing situation, so you have to throw the ball. So that probably made it harder to throw.” When asked about what he told his team after the game, Roof declined to comment, But Wright, who has not experienced a win in his career at Duke, suggested that following a loss like Saturday’s, there wasn’t much left for his head coach to say. “It’s tough to come talk to your team after a loss like that,” Wright said. ‘You can’t say the same thing you said last year, because it didn’t work. He really didn’t have that much to say.”

THE CHRONICLE
Although Connecticut racked up 487 total yards on Duke’s defense, the Huskies were also able to run 77 plays over the course of the game—2o more than the Blue Devils. “We should have won because the defense was more prepared than we’ve ever been,” senior cornerbackLeon Wright said. “I think we were expecting more out of the offense. But we can’t blame the game on
Following arguably Duke’s most winnable game this season, the stat sheet seemed to suggest that the Blue Devil defense was largely to blame for Saturday’s blowout loss to Connecticut. Instead, the game’s deciding factor was found in a less obvious statistical category —field position. In a game where Connecticut’s average starting field position was its own 45, the Blue Devils’ ineffective offense and poor punting allowed the Huskies to play with a short field and pile on the touchdowns. “Between not being able to make first downs, turning the ball over and punting it poorly, that was the game,” head coach Ted Roof said. “That’s what happens when you play a game on half of a football field—the wrong half.” After all the talk of optimism and confidence coming into the first game of the season, the so-called “experienced” offense —with all 11 starters returning from a year ago—seemed to back it up on the opening drive of the game. Quarterback Thaddeus Lewis completed four ofhis first five passes for 73 yards, including a 53-yarder to wideout Eron Riley on the game’s first play. Suddenly, before everyone in Wallace Wade Stadium had even taken their seats, Duke was winning. But Duke played as if holding on for dear life from that point on. Lewis completed just 10 of his next 23 attempts for 75 yards, the senior-laden rushing attack managed a dismal 45 yards and the offense converted two of its 11 third downs. “Not being able to get first downs will kill you,” Lewis said. “When you have third and one, you have to go out there and execute, That could have been the difference.” The Blue Devils had fourteen separate drives and eight of them consisted of three plays or less. When an offense is unable to move the ball, it just puts more pressure on
anyone.”
After the game, the players’ faces were ashen and Roof was all but speechless. He has given more-or-less the same post-game speech to his players 21 consecutive times. He said it is his job as the team’s leader to address the possible losing mentality and remind his team to remain positive. But if Duke plans to break out of its hellish rut, it will need more than just one leader. Despite being the only regularly starting underclassman on offense, Lewis knows that the quarterback is expected, even demanded, to lead. “If my head is hanging low, then the team’s head is hanging low,” Lewis said. “It’s just to let those guys know that I’m with them no matter what happens. IfI get sacked, so what? It’s all a part of football. No one’s perfect. We’re all going to make mistakes.” With a schedule that only gets harder, including an upcoming four-game road trip, Roof expects to see more out his quarterback and the rest of the offense imme-
diately.
From the offensive line that allowed too much penetration, to the backs that did not hit their holes, to the receivers that dropped passes, there’s room for vast improvement at each position and not much time to achieve it. “We’ve got to learn from this,” Roof said, “We’ve got a lot of work to do and we’ve got to get better quick.”

Asack Appears Duke sophomore quarterback Zack Asack saw his first on-field action with the Blue Devils since Nov. 19, 2005, when he entered the game at the 2:53 mark of the first quarter. Asack, who started six games at quarterback during his freshman season, played during two drives and kept the ball himself on designed rurtning plays for five of his seven snaps. Asack completed a sixyard pass to running back Re’Quan Boyette on his only pass attempt of the game and also came in for a “quick kick” 29-yard punt in the second quarter. Asack finished the game with one net yard on his five carries. Jabari Marshall plays Devin Hester One bright spot for the Blue Devils Saturday was the 94-yard kickoff return touchdown by junior comerback Jabari Marshall. Marshall took the ball straight upheld before cutting towards the left sideline, beating the final defenders as he sliced back towards the middle of the Held. Marshall’s return was the 11th longest in Duke history and the longest since senior running back Ronnie Drummer took a kick return 100 yards for a score against East Carolina Sept. 3, 2005. Key’s Day Sophomore middle linebacker Vincent Rey, starting in place of suspended linebacker Mike Tauiliili, had a career day against the Huskies with 17 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Key’s previous career high for tackles was three, against Boston College on Nov. 11, 2006.
Lewis closes in on all-time TD list Sophomore quarterback Thaddeus Lewis’s touchdown pass in the first quarter moved him within two touchdown passes of Billy Cox, who ranks tenth on Duke’s alltime list. Lewis also completed 14 passes to eight differentreceivers. New starters Several Blue Devils made their debuts against Connecticut, including tight end Brandon King, cornerback Leon Wright, Key and linebacker Charles Robinson. Robinson recorded his first career interception in the fourth quarter, returning the pick nine yards. He also recorded two tackles for loss, and a career-high seven tackles. Consecutive starts Long snapper Casey Hales madehis 35th consecutive start, which is the most on the current Duke roster. Center Matt Rumsey is second at 24 straight starts, while defensive end Patrick Bailey has started 21 straight games. Linebacker Michael Tauiliili would have started his 22nd straight game if not for his one-game suspension. Defense Nine differentBlue Devils recorded five or more tackles against the Huskies. Behind Key’s 17 tackles, Wright and free safety Chris Davis each recorded eight tackles, while Robinson and linebacker Tim Ball recorded seven tackles. Overall, the defense tallied four sacks, eight tackles for loss, one interception, and one blocked extra point.

San Diego has plenty that Durham lacks. And even
though the West Coast city claims an abundance ofbeach-
es on the Pacific Ocean, it was not the oasis Duke needed to break its scoring drought. Duke failed to find the back of the net this weekend in
the
WCC/ACC Challenge,
but its stingy defense also did goal as the Blue DUKE 0 Devils (0-0-2) tied Pepperdine (0-1-1) and San Diego (1-0-1) SAN DIEGO in their first two games of the DUKE 0 season. The two draws extended s scoreless streak to 635 nT Duke PPPPPRniNPI rcrrcnuiiMq u minutes and 22 seconds—a number that dates back to the 2006 campaign—but that feat of futility does not worry head coach Robbie Church. “The offense is still learning, but we’re not far offfrom goals,” Church said. “If you watch the games, you can see thatwe’re very, very close. We’re not far off at all. We have to continue to work in that area, get sharper and play a little quicker.” Duke’s best scoring opportunity came in the 28th minute ofthe second game against San Diego. Sophomore CJ. Ludemann directed a free kick into the San Diego box and fellow sophomore Kay Anne Gummersall collected the rebound and chipped it over the goalkeeper’s head into the back of the net. Gummersall seemed to have the team’s first goal of the year, but the linesman raised his flag to indicate that the forward was offsides, negating the goal. The near-score was the most significant chance of either game. Neither Pepperdine nor San Diego had better looks than Duke at the net, but Pepperdine came closest to breaking the tie on Friday night. In the 10th minute, Pepperdine’s Amanda Rupp snuck a shot past senior goalkeeper Allison Lipsher, who picked up her 27th and 28th career shutouts this weekend, moving her within six of the school record. The shot trickled past Lipsher, but junior defender Christie McDonald cleared the ball off the goal line to preserve the matching zeroes. Duke’s back line is more advanced than its offense at this point in the year, partly because the team worked on defense more in practice during the short preseason. “The defense really clicked this weekend,” Lipsher said. “We have a young back four, but they really stepped up and saved my butt a few times.... A lot of what we stress is defense. That’s what we start working on as soon as we get going—we’ve worked on it a little bit more.” The Blue Devils return to action next weekend, playing Yale and Texas A&M in the Carolina Classic in nearby Chapel Hill. They can only hope that their scoring well is deeper closer to home. not surrender a

Sunday
at Koskinen
Stadium. A scoreless tie for three quarters of the contest, Valparaiso was able to keep the game within its reach, but the Duke squad continued to apply pressure to a stingy Cmsader defense until it cmmbled. “It wasn’t really about us as much as them—they were just dropping back and making it very, very hard to play,” head coach John Rennie said. “They just wanted a very slow pace, a very slow game, and its just hard to play against that.... When the team just decides alright, ‘We’re gonna pack it in and we’re not gonna let you play the way you want to,’ it’s hard.” Junior forward Mike Grella finally ended the drought, however, when he nailed an uncontested shot with 21 minutes left in the second period. Graduate student transfer Joshua Medcalf headed a lob pass from goalie Justin Papadakis past the Crusader defenders as Grella made his break. The ball found its way past the keeper into the
back-left comer, giving Duke a 1-0 lead. Duke had plenty of scoring opportunities against Valparaiso, but it took the squad longer than it had hoped to get rolling offensively. The Blue Devils out-shot the Crusaders 28-to-8 on the night, with just eight of those chances in the first half. On the other end of the field, theDuke defense—even without sidelined senior leader Tim Jepson—stifled any runs the Crusaders tried to start. Freshman Christian Ibeagha, who has started since August 25 whileJepson recovers from a hamstring injury, played especially tough defense for all 90 minutes. “Christian is awesome,” Grella said. “I don’t want to pick any favorites, but I’m going to say it tonight, he’s my favorite freshman player. He’s a good guy, great player just has stepped up and plays like he’s been here for two or three years.” The solid defense provided time for the Blue Devils’ scoring attack to show signs of life. Duke gained offensive momentum right before the end of the first half, which opened up the field in the second. With about seven minutes to go in the opening period, Grella had the ball to the left of the cage with only the keeper in his way of a clear goal. His shot was barely deflected above the net by Crusader goalie Ryan Schwartz. Grella was obviously stunned, covering his mouth in shock and disappointment. It was not enough to slow the deadly attackman down, however. “[lt was] one of those games that sooner —
or later they were bound for defeat because
they were just sitting back, packing up the back,” Grella, said. “We were just knocking
on the door a bunch of times and sooner or later [the scoring] was bound to happen.” When the second half started, Duke appeared anxious to get a goal. Senior forward Spencer Wadsworth made a quick steal off the first pass and made a charge towards the net, dishing it to junior Pavelid Castaneda, who lasered a shot just wide of the cage. “The second half we were more aggressive which is what we talked about at half time,” Rennie said. “When we were going to goal, we were much more aggressive, we picked up the tempo.” After Grella found the net midway through the second half, the Blue Devils continued their charge. Two shots clanked off the post as Duke got closer to adding to its lead. Finally, it was Grella again who scored, this time by settling a nicely-lobbed cross from the right side and pushing it past the keeper with ease. “These teams are tough to play because they don’t play us straight up,” Papadakis said. “I thought we came out in the second half with that high tempo despite the opposition trying to stifle play a little bit and we scored two nice goals, so I think we’re happy with the result.” The Blue Devils opened the weekend with a 6-1 manhandling of Delaware Friday JIANGHAI HO/THE CHRONICLE at Koskinen Stadium and play Villanova next Junior Mike Grella scored two goals against the in the Duke Classic SepL 7 at Koskinen.

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig resigns after sex scandal by
John Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOISE, Idaho —In a subdued ending to a week of starding political theater, Sen. Larry Craig announced his resignation Saturday, bowing to pressure from fellow Republicans worried about damage from his arrest and guilty plea in a gay sex sting. “I apologize for what I have caused,” Craig said, his wife Suzanne and two of their three children at his side with a historic Boise train station as backdrop. “I am
deeply sorry.” Craig, 62, said he would resign effective Sept. 30, ending a career in Congress spanning a quarter-century. Making no specific mention of the incident that triggered his disgrace in his remarks, he spoke for under six minutes and took no questions.
Among those attending was Republican Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, who will appoint a successor for the remaining 15 months of Craig’s term. It was a relatively quick end to a drama that began Monday with the stunning disclosure that Craig had pleaded guilty to a reduced charge following his arrest June 11 in a Minneapolis airport men’s room Craig at first tried to hold on to his position, contending in a public appearance on Tuesday that he had done nothing inappropriate and that his only mistake was pleading guilty Aug. 1 to the misdemeanor charge. But a growing chorus of leading GOP leaders called for him to step down to spare the party further embarrassment and possible harm in next year’s elections. Otter said Saturday he has not chosen a replacement, although several Republicans familiar with internal deliberations said he favored Republican Lt. Gov. Jim Risch. Otter called speculation that he has made a choice “dead wrong” and declined to say when he would fill the seat. Craig said he would remain in the Senate until Sept. 30 in hopes of providing a smooth transition for his staff and whoever is chosen as his successor. President Bush called Craig from the White House after the senator’s announcement and told him he knew it was a difficult decision to make, said White House spokesperson Scott Stanzel. “Senator Craig made the right decision for himself, for his family, his consdtuents and the United States Senate,” Stanzel said. Craig was arrested June 11 in a police undercover vice operation. The arresting officer, Sgt. Dave Karsnia, said in his report that the restroom where he encountered Craig is a known location for homosexual activity.
JOE JASZEWSKI/
U.S.Sen. Larry Craig (R-ldaho) addresses the media withhis wife,Suzanne, about his arrest and guilty plea for disorderly conduct in a Minnesota airport earlier this summer. Craig has faced rumors about his sexuality since the 1980s. He has called assertions that he has engaged in gay sex ridiculous. “I am not gay. I never have been gay,” Craig said defiantly after a news conference Tuesday. He said he had kept the incident from aides, friends and family and pleaded guilty “in hopes of making it go away.” Otherlawmakersembroiled in sex scandals also have resigned from Congress, albeit usually at the end of scenarios that took longer to play out than the one thatclaimed Craig. Former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., quit last fall over sexually explicit Internet communications with male pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., resigned in 1995 amid allegations he had made unwanted sexual advances to 17 female employees and colleagues and altered his personal diaries to obstruct an ethics investigation. Saturday, Craig said he would pursue
to clear his name. He has retained Billy Martin, a Washington lawyer who represented Atianta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in his dogfighting case, to pursue his legal options. Washington lawyer Stan Brand will represent Graig before the Senate ethics committee, said spokesperson Dan Whiting. “The people of Idaho deserve a senator who can devote 100 percent of his time and effort to the critical issues of our state and of our nation,” Craig said. “I have little control over what people choose to believe. But clearly my name is important to me, and my family is so very important also.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Craig “made a difficult decision, but the right one.” “It is my hope he will be remembered not for this, but for his three decades of dedicated public service,” McConnell said. McConnell had been

one of Craig’s harshest critics, calling his actions “unforgivable.” Some Idaho residents who attended Craig’s public resignation said it felt like a “political funeral.” Bayard Gregory, from Boise, said Craig should have been more forthright after his arrest. “It’s a horribly embarrassing experience to go through,” Gregory said. “But if it were me, and I had done nothing wrong, I wouldn’t have pleaded guilty.” Craig spokesman Sidney Smith said he did not know whether Craig would return to Washington on Tuesday, the start of the post-Labor Day congressional session. “We haven’t decided that yet, whether he’s going to return or not,” Smith said. Craig represented Idaho in Congress for more than a quarter-century, including 17 years in the Senate. He was up for reelection next year.

Plus, the largecenters around a party that scale party conducted by willfrilly ignores the sport —Tail- and consisting of students
increases a sense of community and autonomy among the student body, and these things are good as well. The conclusion that stems from the powerful argument for Tailgate and the central place it occupies in campus life is that the administration should handle the event with caution and transparency, and this they have not done. For the second straight year, Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, promised last week to crack down on Tailgate. In an e-mail to the student body last Wednesday, he warned students to “expect enforcement of laws regarding consumption of alcohol” and, more importantly, the “verification of age for those carrying or consuming alcohol.” The message recalled pre-Tailgate threats last year that Duke University
Police Department and Alcohol Law Enforcement officers would be patrolling the Blue Zone, “enforcing University policy and enforcing North Carolina law.” The first Tailgate this year also resembled Tailgate last year in that there was a minimal—almost inconsequential—enforcementof alcohol laws and police presence. Students were not, in fact, arrested en masse. This chasm between specific threats and actions saps the University administration and DUPD of credibility. The hollow threats of the past two years incur the kind ofunnecessary student outrage that it is not in the University’s interest to provoke, as the University is simultaneously not acting on its declared interest in enforcing the law at Tailgate. The repeated threat, then
It’s tough to come talk to your team after a loss like that. You can’t say the same thing you said last year, because it didn't work. He really didn’t have that much to say.

students to the enforcement of the law generally. This, of course, is not to say that there shouldbe a more draconian enforcement of the law at Tailgate or that it is entirely irresponsible of the administration to want to deter freshmen from going to Tailgate. Rather, the point is that especially the concrete threats of Moneta’s most recent e-mail and the apparent lack of an intention to put those threats into practice last Saturday gives the impression that administration policy is Janus-faced, unintelligible to and out of touch with the average student, and founded on vacillating and opaque machinations that are hostile to the principal feature offootball season. In the end, though, the only solution is a winning team.

THE CHRONICLE
What’s on your plate?
I
must be
getting old. I used to be constandy amazed and surprised at how my fellow Duke students spent their summers. While my friends from home tone their triceps atjersey Shore scoop shops, Duke students are far more likely to have sampled the melting snows of Kilimanjaro. Looking at a random gathering of friends on the Plaza, odds are about even that among five of them, their Rainbow flip-flops have tramped across five continents. But I am astonished no longer. That Duke students’ talents, abilities and energy, combined with the seemingly endless resources available to us, lead many to accomplish so much during rachael massell our four-year tenures is no breaking sidelong glance news. It is simply the norm. In some ways, it saddens me that I listen politely to tales of rebuilding New Orleans or world travel with one eye to the clock and one foot on its way to my next class. My wide-eyed enthrallment, so present in previous years (‘You went where? And did what?”) has been replaced by the nod-and-smile. The end of innocence? The birth of a cynic? Not quite (or at least, not yet). I’m grateful I can now see that students are, as I am, still developing, flawed 18- to 22-year-olds—and no amount of global health-focused world-saving can negate this. With a small dose of humility, we each should realize how much room for self-evolution still remains for us all. If our collective and individual aim is to effect change in the world, we should not be content to simply DukeEngage and then call it a day. Instead, we should strive to bring the same values that we claim to espouse through such activities home to bear on the less sexy but muchlived realm of the everyday—in our case, the GothicWonderland. Day after day, we each make small decisions that leave big consequences in their wake, beginning with perhaps the most personal of all choices: what we eat. The average Aanerican consumer confronts roughly 200 food-related choices everyday, and each one of those carries its own set of implications, obvious or not. Most of these choices are subconscious, such as when we choose to ignore the constant bombardmentof food advertising around us. But we also make a fair number of direct decisions: the Great Hall or Subway? The salad bar or pizza? Ketchup or mustard? Take-outbox or tableware? Usually, we make our choices based on taste preferences. We may also be influenced by our knowledge ofhealth or nutrition, especially among such a high-achieving and well-educated set (that’s another column altogether). Emotions certainly come into play as well—the idea of “comfort food” confirms this. But how often are our food choices based on something beyond the questions, “Does it taste good?” “Is it healthy for me?” “Will it make me happy?” The emphasis here is, of course, the impact on one person: me. Generally, the Duke community does not accept this kind of blatant selfishness in our other pursuits. At least externally, we are routinely expected to display our selflessness. We log community-service hours to help others and not to pad our resumes, and we become doctors to save lives and not to make money. So why is it socially acceptable to eat mindlessly, without an eye to the far-reaching consequences ofeach bite? I challenge you to consider a few more questions; Where does my meal come from? One ofmany factory farms whose combined animal waste contributes more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than all the SUVs in the world? Or a self-sustaining biodynamic farm? Who benefits from its production and consumption? Small family farmers, or the CEO of one of the four companies that control 83 percent of beef production in the United States? Who suffers? Human hands still harvest the vast majority of crops globally; there are people involved from seed to plate. Did this ever grow in the ground, or was it rendered in a factory offExit 12 on the New Jersey Turnpike? (Full disclosure; My house is between Exits 2 and 3). Even if you do begin asking these types of questions, the answers are not always readily apparent, or even accessible at all. The inner workings of the modem food industry, especially in America, are anything but transparent. When asked where an apple comes from, the average school-aged kid is more likely to answer “the grocery store” than “a tree” (and more likely to suffer childhood obesity than ever before, perhaps because of this very real disconnect). But die point isn’t to come up with all the answers. The point is that in beginning to ask these questions at all, we might take a step toward becoming informed consumers. We might also realize we’re equally likely to change the world on our summer adventures as at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Rachael Massell is a Trinity senior. Her column runs every other Monday.

commentaries
letterstotheeditor Tailgate policy flawed, could prove dangerous Vice President forStudent Affairs Larry Moneta’s recent e-mail about Tailgate yet again demonstrates an increasing flaw in this administration’s attitude towards Duke partying. His plan to close the gates until two hours prior to gametime illustrates naivete and wishful thinking. Instead of curbing partying, it only increases the danger of drunk driving or binge drinking. The majority of students are going to begin tiieir drinking festivities at the same time as usual, it’s only a matter of whether they have their first drink at off-campus fraternity houses or within walking distance of the game. Moneta’s e-mail reflects an increasing pattern of forcing Duke partying offcampus. While it may help absolve the school offuture liability and legal consequences, it only sends the party to another location where supervision, safety and security are shaky at best. Last year, while tailgate may have been a rowdy event, it didn’tforce intoxicated students to choose between taking cabs and driving themselves to the Blue Zone. Dr. Moneta, if you are serious about wanting to protect students’ safety and not just the school’s reputation, keep the parties on campus and off of the road. Brent Beckert Trinity ’lO Detwiler column lacks scientific backing Jacqui Detwiler’s Aug. 31 column “Hot Damned!
Part I” regarding the “smear campaign” against global warming is evidence of the silliness of this debate in our nation (which is not over, by the way). With the exception of the EPA, none of the institutions or high-profile figures she mentions are scientific in nature—they are political. It is odd that our nation has turned a scientific investigation into a litmus test for national politics. If Detwiler thinks that global wanning skeptics are all a bunch ofoil-backed scumbag liars, she had better acquaint herself with respected university professors like John Christy (Alabama Huntsville) and Richard Lindzen (MU). Until she reads up on their work and their objections to the mainstream view of global warming and presents us with her own analysis of their arguments, I would hardly consider her entirely unscientific column to add anything of value to an ongoing public debate with serious consequences both for our nadon’s policy and its economy. Mike Jenista graduate student, Mathematics For Duke football, enough is enough Besides superior coaching, is there any reason that Wake Forest is the ACC football champion, while Duke fails to compete nearly every week? What does Wake have that Duke doesn’t? I’m sure everyone in the program is working hard, but enough is enough. Rob Hostetler Trinity ’9B
Congratulations! Now explain yourself For
those of you just coming off your first weekend at Duke, being on campus must be an exciting and liberating experience. . We all remember, some better than others, how it feels to end the gut-wrenching experience of getting to college and abrupdy arriving on East Campus. Every Fall, I enjoy watching a new crop of Duke students feel HMM that liberation Unfortunately, I won’t be present for frank holleman that this year. Last year I decided to out of the pan... takea semester o from Duke and head out to lowa to work on a presidential campaign. This is a unique moment in political history and I thought it would be a better personal experience to come out here. My friends and coworkers validate this by constandy reminding me what a important experience I’m having. But I also don’t feel that I can entirely enjoy my time on the job. Most of you probably know what I mean. We’re Type-A personality students who have our eyes firmly fixed on law school and constantly evaluate where we’re going and what our future looks like. As a result, I read being here in lowa differently than some of my more laid-back friends. I know I’m supposed to be “learning something” from this professional jaunt. So I instinctively imagine how I might cite it in a graduate school application essay. So far, I’m not coming up with much. If I’m learning anything from this experience, it’s that most of the time I just need to shut up and do my job. It’s hardly some grand revelation worthy of the
admissionsofficers of a top law school; it’s not grand enough for a Duke student. And so I return to the incoming freshmen. You probably feel, like I did, that you have nothing more to prove. Duke is comfortably in the top-10 universities in the country—probably one of the best in the world. The opportunities provided by and through Duke are almost limitless. Our roster of alumni alone—which includes presidents, Nobel laureates, CEOs and professional athletes—demonstrates what we can accomplish with a Duke education. And yet, as a Duke student, I feel as if I need to be searching for grand meanings in what I do with my life so I can explain them to an academic bureaucrat or corporate headhunter. I often wonder why my accomplishments can’t speak for themselves. The physical Duke becomes increasingly familiar and less thrilling as the semesters go on. Upperclassmen know the place—its secrets, subtleties and surprises have, for the most part, been unlocked during our previous semesters on campus. Although our university never loses its luster, the place is hardly as fresh and disorienting as it was the first few weeks after we arrived our first year. Similarly, for me at least, the achievement of Duke has become less a badge of honor and more a spur to grow more and become an increasingly accomplished person, just for the sake of doing so. Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe it brings out the best in us by continually forcing us to rise to a challenge. Perhaps it helps us to find ourselves and make our own principles. Does it work? I’m still trying to figure it out myself. Hopefully ifI do, the answer will take the form of a good personal statement that fits in two pages or less, double-sided.
