ANNAPOLIS, Md. Duke went toe to toe with Navy for nearly 60 minutes in an offensive shootout Saturday, but it was the game’s final play that led to an all-too familiarresult.

Duke could not put away Navy despite career-best days from quarterback Thaddeus Lewis and wide receiver Eron Riley, and Midshipmen backup kicker Joey Bullen nailed a 44-yard field goal as time expired, handing Duke (1-3, 0-1 in ACC) a heartbreaking 46-43 loss Saturday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Iranian prez deniesnudear bomb

Blackwater faces criminal charges by

Robert H. Reid

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi investigators have a videotape that shows Blackwater USA guards opened fire against civilians without provocation in a shooting last week that left 11 people dead, a senior Iraqi official said Saturday. He said the case was referred to the Iraqi judiciary.

Iraq’s president, meanwhile, demanded that the Americans release an Iranian arrested this week on suspicion of smuggling weapons to Shiite militias. The demand adds new strains to U.S.-Iraqi relations only days before a meeting between President George W. Bush and Iraq’s

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Interior Ministry spokesperson Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said Iraqi authorities had completed an investigation into the Sept. 16 shooting in Nisoor Square in western Baghdad and concluded that Blackwater guards were responsible for the deaths.

He told The Associated Press that the conclusion was based on witness statements as well as videotape shot by cameras at the nearby headquarters of the national police command. He said eight people were killed at the scene and three of the 15 wounded died in

hospitals.

Blackwater, which provides most of the security for U.S. diplomats and civilian officials in Iraq, has insisted that its guards came under fire from armed insurgents and shot back only to defend themselves.

Blackwater spokesperson Anne Tyrrell said Saturday that she knew nothing about the videotape and was contractually prohibited from discussing details of the shooting.

Khalaf also said the ministry was looking into six other fatal shootings involving the Moyock, N.C.-based company in which 10 Iraqis were killed and 15 wounded. Among the shootings was one Feb. 7 outside Iraqi state television in Baghdad that killed three building guards.

Moderate chosen as J apan's PM by

Mari Yamaguchi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO The veteran moderate Yasuo Fukuda easily won election as Japan’s ruling party president Sunday, pledging to keep a pro-U.S. foreign policy and improve ties with Asia after he almost certainly becomes prime minister later this week. .Fukuda, the 71-year-old son of a prime minister from the 1970 and a former righthand man to two premiers, won 63 percent of the vote among Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers and delegates, beating his lone rival, former Foreign Minister TaroAso.

s

The win essentially guarantees Fukuda’s election as outgoing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s successor in parliament on Tuesday because of the LDP’s vast majority in the lower house, the more powerful of the two chambers that elects the premier.

Fukuda vowed on Sunday to rebuild the popularity of his party, which has suffered a year of scandals and policy missteps by outgoing Abe, who has been hospitalized since announcing on Sept. 12 that he would resign.

‘You have chosen me even though I do not have much experience. I am prepared to do my utmost to live up to my responsi-

bilities,” Fukuda said. “I will work to revitalize the LDP, to win back public trust, and push forward with my policies.”

Fukuda’s key policies include engaging North Korea diplomatically, pushing

for extension of Japan’s naval mission in support of U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan, and giving aid to rural regions left behind by the economic recovery.

“We need to show our intention to continue the mission as a message to the international society,” Fukuda said of the Afghan mission, which the opposition has vowed to defeat in parliament.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in New York to protests Sunday and said in a television interview amid U.S. accusations that Iran was neither building a nuclear bomb nor headed to war with the United States.

How do you make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged people? To Cassie Phillips, it means to go live with them and work for a change.

Chosen to be part of the CNN initiative “Be the Change,” Phillips, Trinity ’O7, is currendy working in Battambang, Cambodia, volunteering with nonprofit organization Homeland to aid downtrodden Cambodian children, including victims of abuse, the sex trade and HIV. “Be the Change” is a CNN project about a group of volunteers who are trying to help people around the Cassie Phillips world through social action. The network has equipped six selected volunteers with cameras and laptops.

The subjects’ blog and video posts about their experiences helping people around the world are available on the project’s Web site. The project went live this month and will last one year.

“I didn’t really know much about the program or other participants when I agreed to participate,” Phillip wrote in an e-mail from Battambang. “Because it’s a new project, I expect it will morph and change as the year goes on.”

The goal of “Be the Change” is to inform people what volunteers go through when working in foreign countries.

Duke Destinations offers free or discounted tickets to community events and even springs for transportation—an offer that nobody can refuse.

DSG Vice President SunnyKantha workedwith Head Line Monitor Roberto Bazzani on the new line plan.

“It’s a more efficient system, it allows the athletics department to have prior knowledge of the attendance yields and it allows students to validate without having to wait many hours in line beforehand, which should dispel the myth that you have to wait four hours to get into a game,” Kantha said.

The validation process will be conducted through a Web site with links on DukePass and DSG’s K-ville Web site among others, Bazzani said. Through the site, students will be able to sign up for games starting at midnight three days before each game and ending at 11:59 p.m. the day before the

PHILLIPS from page 3 the project’s producer, said.

Through the initiative, the volunteers are expected to file blogs and video diaries regularly about how they are adjusting in foreign countries, how their projects are progressing, what kinds of people they are meeting and what they are feeling for one year in their designated areas.

It was the Sanford Institute for Public Policy’s Hart Leadership Program that connected Phillips with “Be the Change.”

“We started with a long list of organizations that we thought may fit the bill,” Lindsey said. “We narrowed it down and narrowed it down, and the Hart Leadership Program became one of the top organizations we were interested in.”

During her time at Duke, Phillips was active in the Center for Race Relations as an assistant director for Common Ground and as codirector of the Peer Facilitation

Training Program.

A seasoned traveler, Phillips spent a summer studying in Spain and traveled to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.

She also volunteered at the Leave a Little Room Foundation in Gulu, Uganda while she was an undergraduate.

game. As they validate, students will also be able to view how many of the 1,200 available student seats are taken.

Bazzani added that he hopes the system will allow students to balance schoolwork, classes and other priorities and still make it to the games.

The new policy —which was drafted by Bazzani, members of the line monitor committee and members of the athletics department—proposes implementing an online validation system for students wishing to attend basketball games, Bazzani said.

“Essentially, Duke students will be able to go online to a Web site, and click on a link saying they intend to attend a basketball game,” Kantha said. ‘You still have to line up 60 minutes before the game, and you get seats in order of how you get in line. But you can still use groups in lines, if you don’t want to miss class.”

The policy will replace wristband and walk-up games but will not affect tenting games or the seniorgame, Bazzani said. He added that as of now, the system will be reserved for men’s basketball games only.

Students in the validation line will have to swipe their DukeCards in order to enter the stadium. As they swipe in, non-validated students at home will be able to monitor the inflow online in real time to see if they can get in through the walk-up line. Unclaimed spots in the validation line will be given to people in the walk-up line if the owners do not show up 60 minutes before the game.

Seema Parkash, Trinity ’O6, the Hart Fellows Program coordinator, wrote in an e-mail that Phillips is a very thoughtful person “Her involvement in ‘Be the Change’ precipitated deep reflection on how to be true to the authenticity ofher experiences without violating the privacy of her subjects, even before she left for Cambodia,” Parkash said.

She added that Phillips has an ability to be honest, with herself and to others, about her shortcomings and fears.

“Cassie’s thoughtfulness and honesty serve her well in her constant striving to leam and grow, particularly when she is outside ofher comfort zone,” Parkash said.

Phillips said taking part in “Be the Change” has been a new experience for her that made her uncomfortable at times.

“I was not entirely comfortable with the camera myself when I started and I’m still working on that,” she said. “So it’s been a slow process of trying different things and learning about how the camera affects me and the people I’m with.”Her thoughtfulness and honesty have been useful for viewers as well.

“She’s experiencing some things she has never experienced before,” Lindsey said.

“And we can watch her do it.”

Kantha said there may be initial resisthe new policy from old fans.

“Most people won’t understand the system at first,” he said. “I can see people possibly getting angered by the fact that there’s a new system, because there are a lot of fans who are used to the old system.

But the truth is this new system incorporates all the beneficial elements of the previous systems plus new ones.”

One of the new benefits of the policy is that it will help the athletics department fill seats in Cameron by taking a small percentage of vacant seats at low-yield games and selling part of it to employees. Some tickets will also be donated to the Boys and Girls’ Club, Ronald McDonald House, Durham Police Department and Durham Fire Department.

“So we’re generating goodwill, and we’re filling Cameron Indoor, because that was a huge problem last year, when we had the lowest attendance rates in recent history,” Kantha said.

Bazzani said, however, the line monitor committee reserves the right to hold on to tickets not reserved in the validation process when they believe student turnout will be larger in the walk-up line. He added that donated seats will likely be on the nonTV side of the stadium.

Though Kantha said he expects the proposal to be approved by DSG, DSG President Paul Slattery, a senior, said the proposal will be subject to debate during the

Mitch Moser, associate director ofathletics, said he is optimistic about the proposal.

“The main purpose of the proposal was to make life easier for Duke students, and to let the basketball players play in front of a full crowd,” he said. “I don’t anticipate any problems. It was a well-thought

But five minutes into the second half, the Buckeyes responded. From the top left corner of the box, Lara Dickenmann took a direct kick that ricocheted off the inside right post into the net. The goal briefly evened the contest and also ended senior goalkeeper Allison Lipsher’s three-match string of shutouts.

Lipsher was still named the tournament’s Defensive MVP for her efforts, which included a 4-0 blanking of San Francisco Friday night in Duke’s weekend opener. In that win, junior Kelly Hathorn scored twice, and both Bradley and Ludemann added their first career tallies. In only eight games this year, six Blue Devils have notched their first scores—pardy because Duke head coach Robbie Church has the utmost confidence in his heralded freshman class and has employed a liberal substitution pattern.

The continuation of Duke’s scoring outburst this weekend capped a fourgame stretch in which the Blue Devils have scored 15 goals—an even more impressive number considering they netted only one in their first four contests.

Those days, though, seem ancient now, disappearing quicker than Ludemann’s game-winning strike sailed into the goal to put the exclamation point on the weekend.

toward Duke’s Becci Burling and Jenny Shull.

As the ball hit the floor and the

collided in a pile of arms and legs, the entire team broke into laughter.

The moment was symbolic of the Blue Devils’ stress-free mindset against Boston College (7-6 overall, 1-2 in the ACC) as they went on to win the game 30-25 and sweep the Eagles 3-0.

Duke (8-3, 3-0) had every reason to smile this weekend, as it successfully completed a two-game homestand with wins over Boston College and Maryland (8-4, 03). On Friday, the Blue Devils defeated, the Terrapins 3-1 in a hard-fought match.

The Blue Devils have now won 36 consecutive matches in Cameron Indoor Stadium dating back to the 2004 season.

Adding to the celebration was senior Ali Hausfeld, who recorded the 5,000 th assist of her career during the final game against Boston College. After accumulating 115 assists during the weekend, the setter only needs 62 more to overtake Duke’s all-time assists record from Kristen

Campbell.

“It’s a tremendous honor,” Hausfeld said. “I love setting here because I’ve never felt like we only had one hitter I can set to all the time. It’s made it easy for me because I have so many options and can just do my own thing and know one of our hitters is going to get the kill.”

Although the Blue Devils were successful overall, they dropped their first game in conference play to Maryland Friday, losing the third game 35-33. Duke was unable to overcome the Terrapins’ blocking ability in that particular game, with Maryland having a 7-1 advantage on blocks.

“We got a little bit tight out there and

our passing wasn’t as fluid,” head coach said. “They were serving very tough and we weren’t adjusting or moving our feet as well. They were very aggressive blocking-wise, and we couldn’t

respond.”

Facing their first challenge in ACC play, the Blue Devils were led by senior Carrie DeMange. DeMange stepped up for Duke in the fourth game, earning eight kills, including four straight points that pushed the momentum squarely onto the Blue Devils’ side.

Using the clash with the Terrapins as a wake-up call, Duke played with renewed focus against the Eagles the following night, taking control of the game from the opening serve. Duke outblocked Boston College 10-3, a vast improvement compared to the

disadvantage against Maryland.

Even when Duke was down in a game, the team never gave in, staying relaxed and confident throughout the three games with the Eagles.

“We really wanted to make a statement with this game,” Hausfeld said. ‘We wanted to show thatwe’re on top in the ACC. We lost a game last night and we shouldn’t have done that. It wasn’t our game and it wasn’t us.”

The Blue Devils did get consistent play from their seniors, with DeMange accumulating 44 kills over the weekend. On the defensive side, libero Jenny Shull had 34 digs, and more impressively, did not commit a single serve reception error over the two matches.

The Blue Devils may have found a new offensive presence with the insertion of freshman Burling into the starting lineup.

Burling recorded 18 combined kills in the two ACC matchups.

After the busy weekend, Duke has five days to recuperate before traveling to Florida to face Florida State and Miami.

Even though the Blue Devils are undefeated so far in conference play, the team knows every conference opponent will be gunning for it.

“Every team brings out all the stops when Duke comes to town,” Hausfeld said.

“Every ACC win is really tough, but they’re fired up to play us.”

LAURA BETH DOUGLAS/THE CHRONICLE

Quarterback Thaddeus Lewis had a career day Saturday against Navy, going 23-for-36 for 428 yards with four touchdowns in his team's 46-43 loss in Annapolis, Md.

FOOTBALL fromTC page 1 give us opportunities to win, we’ve got to do it. We’ve got to close the door, and we didn’t close the door today. If we don’t do that, it’ll cost us, and it cost us dearly.”

Propelled by stellar performances from Lewis—who went 23-36 for 428 yards with four touchdowns—and Riley with six receptions for 235 yards and four touchdowns, Duke held the lead from halftime until deep into the fourth quarter. With 3:49 left in the game, Navy quarterbackjarod Bryant scored on a 5-yard quarterback throwback play after an eight-play, 65-yard drive. Bryant, who replaced an exhausted Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada in that quarter, ran the ball into the end zone on the ensuing twopoint conversion to level the score at 43.

The Blue Devils had a chance to counter in their final offensive possession but were undone by a Lewis interception and a pair of questionable holding penalties.

Wide receiver Jomar Wright took a dumpoff pass the length of the field on the first play of that drive for what appeared to be a touchdown, but a tenuous holding call on Riley near midfield brought the ball all the way back to their own 36-yard line.

Duke still seemed likely to overcome the missed call. Running back Re’Quan Boyette ripped off a pair offirst down runs, putting the Blue Devils at the Navy 41. Facing a third-and-11 situation, Lewis converted with a 16-yard pass to wide receiver Raphael Chestnut, only to have a holding call on freshman tackle Bryan Morgan reverse the outcome. On the very next play, Lewis threw a pass right into the hands of Navy comerback Ketric Buffin, allowing the Midshipmen to take possession and march downfield for Bullen’s game-winnner.

“I saw the defensive back bailing out, so me and Eron talked beforehand,” Lewis said. “He was like, ‘Throw a jump ball,’ which I did, and he felt like the dude held him. But [Buffin] made a heck of a play.”

Despite struggling on that particular snap, Lewis was phenomenal in the passing game as Duke built up a 36-25 halftime

lead. With ample protection and open resituations. Kicker Joe Surgan missed the ceivers, Duke’s sophomore field general extra point attempt on Duke’s first touchmade it look easy at times with Duke relydown, prompting Roof to go for two-point ing on the pass-heavy spread offense that conversions on his team’s next two touchdowns.

With a Lewis deep ball in the air, Riley was forced out of bounds by a Navy defensive back. After about three steps out of bounds, Riley leapt back onto the playing field and hauled in Lewis’ pass just past midfield. Thinking that Riley was ineligible, Navy’s defender stopped and held his arms up in protest. Riley hesitated as well, but then raced 40 yards into the end zone realizing the play was still alive. Video replay upheld the touchdown and also served as an aid to Riley on the play.

“I just stood there because I thought that I had heard a whistle,” Riley said. “But then I looked at the little big-screen, and I saw someone running after me, so I started taking off.”

But in the end, failings in pass defense and special teams doomed Duke. The Blue Devils held the nation’s top running attack below its average, but it was the Navy passing game that played a large role in its comeback. Although it ranked last in the nation in passing offense, Navy surprised Duke with a variety of play-action and option passes that put it in position to score from short runs on the ground.

Duke offense comes up short in second half by

Matthew Iles THE CHRONICLE

After suffering their third loss on a game’s final play over the last 15 games, the Blue Devils must have hadjust one question on their minds following Saturday’s tilt at

Although the defense allowed 540 yards to the Midshipmen, Duke’s offense turned in one of its best performances in years. The Blue Devils scored 35 points in thefirst half, the most since 1999, and quarterback Thaddeus Lewis and wideout Eron Riley each had career days.

But when Duke analyzes the tape of yet another heartbreaking loss, the coaches will see that their team’s inability to execute late in the game cost Duke its chance at its first winning streak since 2003.

“It’s so disappointing,” head coach Ted Roof said. “We had our chances, but we didn’t close the deal.... That’s a game that we had an opportunity to win, and you don’t get missed opportunities back.”

In the first half, offensive coordinator Peter Vaas simply had his way with Navy’s defense, calling play after successful play.

Coming off of last weekend’s impressive performance, Lewis continued to carve up the opponent’s secondary with a 14-of-21, 289-yard and three-touchdown stat line going into the break. The running game even saw a glimmer of improvement when Vaas called rushes from the shotgun formation rather than the I-set.

But just like the win over Northwestern last Saturday, Duke’s offense did not execute as well in the second half, especially when it counted most.

“We were practicing their defense all week,” Riley said. “We came out and executed our game plan for most of the game.

It worked well for most of the game, but kind of fell off at the end.... It’s a four-quarter game, so you can’t assume that after two quarters the game is over.”

Leading 43-32 heading into the fourth

quarter, Duke’s offense recorded only its second three-and-out of the game, failed to convert any ofits three third downs, and most importandy, accrued 35 yards ofpenalties in critical situations.

A personal foul penalty at the start of the period backed the Blue Devils out of kicker Greg Myers’ range, resulting in a missed field goal. A holding penalty negated an 80-yard touchdown catch and run by wide receiver Jomar Wright, which would have all but ended Navy’s chances of a comeback. Another holding penalty later that drive nullified a 16-yard pass, which would have given Duke a first down on the Midshipmen’s 26-yard line with less than a minute to play. On the following snap, now forced to throw a dangerous pass on thirdand-long, Lewis’s ball was intercepted and Navy began its game-winning drive.

With only three penalties during the first three quarters combined, Duke once again showed its inability to focus in the game’s most crucial moments.

“We knew coming into the football game it was going to go for four quarters,” Roof said. “We prepared that way. The two penalties there on the last drive offensively were big.... We didn’t get it done. This one hurts.”

Although the Blue Devils’ offense returnedall 11 starters from last season, Duke is still inexperienced when it comes to winning. Even with the best players, the best coaches and the best game plans, a team may still lose merely because it cannot find away to win with its back against a wall.

“The leadership on this team has to step up and bring everybody together,” Lewis said. “We know how we came out and played and we know that we had opportunities. This time when we go back to the game plan, we just have to tell ourselves to prevent from losing. Every opportunity we have, we’ve got to capitalize on it.”

As the Blue Devils attempt to come back from another debilitating loss, they hope to be prepared for the next time opportunity comes knocking.

On its way to extending their 11-point lead even more, Duke coughed up the ball on a Re’quan Boyette fumble just outside Navy’s red zone.

The Midshipmen’s only other fourth down try resulted in a sack by Oghobasse and Rey.

Defensive lineman Vince Oghobasse and linebackers Vincent Rey and Michael Tauiliili accounted for nearly 35 percent of the team’s 105 total tackles. Oghobasse racked up 10 tackles in the first double-digitgame ofhis career, while Rey and Tauiliili had 15 tackles each.

Rey and Oghobasse had the team’s only two sacks and the trio combined for six and half of the team’s nine tackles for a loss.

During that time, Lewis hooked up with Riley on two back-to-back 1-play drives for touchdowns of 76 and 35 yards.

By game’s end, Lewis had passed for a career-high 428 yards—good for seventh all-time in a single game at Duke—and four touchdowns, plus one more on the ground. Riley hauled in six catches for 235 yards and four touchdowns, making him only the sixth Blue Devil to rack up more than 200 yards receiving in a single contest.

Lewis’ previous best was 305 yards set last year against Wake Forest and Riley’s four scores tied a school record.

Navy punter gets the week off The Midshipmen faced fourth down seven times during Saturday’s contest, but never elected to punt the ball. Instead, Navy kicked four field goals, making three of them, and chose to go for it every other time.

ROB GOODLATTE/THE CHRONICLE

Laura Suchoski and theBlue Devils look to build off the first halfof their season to finish the year strong.

CHAPEL HILL—Unfortunately for No. 14 Duke, the only thing hotter than the blistering heat SatDUKE urday afternoon at Henry Stadium UNC 5 was the Tar Heels’ offense.

RICHMOND 1 No. 1 North a DUKE Carolina (9-0, 2-0 in the ACC) used a four-goal spurt in the second half to bury the Blue Devils 5-0. The score could have been even more lopsided—the Tar Heels had two goals in the first half nullified by penalties. Duke (S-5, 0-2), though, hung tough with the Tar Heels for much of the first period, but could not keep up after intermission.

“Our team poured their hearts out in the first half,” junior Laura Suchoski said.

“We put out so much energyand effort that it drained us in the second half.”

North Carolina dominated the Blue Devils in every statistical category, outshooting them 20-6 and holding a 9-3 advantage in penalty comers.

The first half was a defensive struggle, as both squads were unable to put the ball in the net. Tar Heel senior midfielder Jesse Gey broke the scoreless tie when she pushed a shot past Blue Devil goalkeeper Caitlin Williams with 24 seconds left in the stanza. The goal gave North Carolina a 1-0 lead that it took into the locker room.

By contrast, the second half featured plenty of offense. After Duke used a timeout eight minutes into the period, the Tar Heels scored two goals in less than three minutes to put the Blue Devils in a 3-0 hole. North

Carolina extended their advantage on a penalty corner from senior Rachel Dawson with

15:30 left and a strike from senior Heather Kendell less than two minutes later.

One major advantage the Tar Heels had that became especially clear in the second half was depth.

“They were subbing attackers every five to seven minutes, and we were playing manto-man defense,” Williams said. “Our three defenders in the back were exhausted.”

Williams was one of the few bright spots for Duke, recording five saves and stopping numerous attacks. With 10 minutes remaining in the first half, the senior helped to block three consecutive North Carolina shot attempts off penalty corners.

Despite the score, the Blue Devils are still optimistic about the rest of their season.

“Our team looked at the first half and realized, ‘We can stick with one of the best teams in the country,’” Suchoski said. “It ended on a positive note, realizing the effort we put in.”

But for Duke, effort continues to come up just short on the scoreboard.

While it might be tempting to dwell on a loss like this, the Blue Devils know that they must move forward to turn their season around.

“Today is the halfway point in the season,” Williams said. “We’re focusing on what we can take from this first part and leaving the rest behind so that we can bring some wins home.”

Duke bounced back Sunday with a 4-1 victory over Richmond (1-8) at Williams Field. Five seniors—Marcy Burns, Courtney Elliott, Rachel Link, Shayna McGeehan and Williams—were honored before the game.

THE CHRONICLE

Duke proved Saturday that it knows how good birthday present.

It remains to be seen whether the Blue Devils can deliver on an even better retirement gift.

MARYLAND 1_ No. 12 Duke 1-0-0 in the (5-2-0, DUKE 2 defeated ACC) Maryland on head coach John Rennie’s birthday, winning 2-1 in double overtime in front of 5,013 fans in Koskinen Stadium.

Freshman midfielder Cole Grossman, playing in his first match of the season, scored the game-winner on a feed from Joe Germanese with 1:33 remaining in the extra session to seal the game for the Blue Devils.

Senior captains Michael Videira and Tim Jepson sat out against the No. 16 Terrapins (3-3-1, 0-2-0) with hamstring injuries, but Duke did not miss a beat. In addition to Grossman, who played 53 minutes, the Blue Devils got increased playing time from seto give a

niors Spencer Wadsworth and Zach Pope.

“To win a game like that without your two captains, I mean, it’s just incredible,” Rennie said. “It was just a great effort by some guys who haven’t played very much.”

The hero was Grossman, who has been out since the first preseason game with a pulled groin. Before the contest, the freshman told Rennie he was ready to make his collegiate debutand he backed itup with his play duringregulation, prompting the coach to send him onto the field in overtime.

With Duke less than two minutes away from a tie, Germanese—who, like Grossman, went to St. Louis University High School—passed it to the freshman midfielder on the right side of the box, 10 yards from the goal.

Grossman ripped it into the top of the net, giving the Blue Devils a victory in their first conference game of the season.

“I don’t really know what happened, I just hit it as hard as I could,” the sixfoot, 165-pound Grossman said. “I tried to take my shirt off [after the goal] but it

was stuck on my body, so I couldn’t really get it off. But I guess it’s probably a good thing it didn’t come off because I’m not the strongest kid on earth.”

After a scoreless first half, junior defender Graham Dugoni scored the Blue Devils’ first goal in the 56th minute, ripping the ball into the right comer of the net from five yards out.

The Terrapins responded less than eight minutes later. After Duke goalkeeper Justin Papadakis made a diving save on a Stephen King shot, Drew Yates picked up the rebound and fired the ball into the empty net to even the score.

Each team had several scoring opportunities the rest of the way—the best perhaps being Paul Dudley’s chance at an open net with 41 seconds left in regulation—but the game remained tied at one until Grossman’s heroics in the second overtime.

“I blacked out when I saw the ball hit the back of the net—I went crazy,” Pope said.

“It was unbelievable, especially for a fresh-

man coming in making an appearance in a really big game like Maryland. He showed a lot ofclass [and] a lot of maturity.”

Grossman replaced Videira, who warmed up but was still bothered by a hamstring cramp he suffered in last Wednesday’s game against South Carolina.

“He’s kind of irreplaceable—one of the best players in the country,” Grossman said of Videira. £1 just tried to come in and do the best I could. Obviously, you can’t replace him fully—or even close—but I just tried to do what he does and control the game and help the team.”

With their two senior leaders out, the Blue Devils’ depth was key in their 109minute clash against the Terrapins.

“It’s critical in any game,” Rennie said of having bench players who contribute. “The season is both a marathon and a sprint.”

At the end of that marathon, Duke hopes to give its coach a retirement present even better than the birthday gift it gave him Saturday—a national title.

Blue Devils find early by

Diana Ni

THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s early-season travels continued this weekend, as the team competed in the Southern Intercollegiate Championships in Athens, Ga. The Blue Devils smashed, volleyed and lobbed their way to an impressive start in the four-day tournament, which began Friday, but lost their steam in later rounds.

“Overall we’re getting there,” said assistant coach Ramsey Smith. “We’re not exactly where I’d like to see us.

Ahmadinejad leaves for U.S. to voice perspective by

Ali Akbar Dareini THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday that the American people are eager to hear different

opinions about the world, and he is looking forward to having the chance to voice them during his trip to the United States, state media reported.

The hardline Iranian leader left Sunday for New York to address the U.N. General Assembly and speak to students and teachers during a forum at Columbia University.

The visit has caused a stir in New York.

Tensions are high between Washington and Tehran over U.S. accusations that Iran is secredy trying to develop nuclear weapons and helping Shiite militias in Iraq that target U.S. troops—claims Iran denies.

Ahmadinejad said the American people have been denied “correct information,” and his visit will give them a chance to hear a different voice, the official IRNA news agency reported.

“The United States is a big and important country with a population of 300 million. Due to certain issues, the American people in the past years have been denied correct and clear information about global developments and are eager to hear different opinions,” Ahmadinejad was quoted by IRNA as saying.

State-run television also quoted Ahmadinejad before boarding his presidential plane Sunday as saying that the General Assembly was an “important podium” to express Iran’s views on regional and global issues.

He is scheduled to address the Assembly Tuesday—his third time attending the New York meeting in three years. He is also set to speak at a ColumbiaUniversity question-

the Iranian president last year, citing security and logistical reasons. Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust “a myth” and called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.”

Hosseini said there “are efforts to cancel” the Columbia speech, but the Iranian government is continuing to pursue the program. He did not elaborate other than saying a lot of pressure was being placed on the program’s sponsors.

Ahmadinejad’s visit to New York is also being debated back home. Some in Iran think his trip is a publicity stunt that hurts Iran’s image in the world.

Political analyst Iraj Jamshidi said Ahmadinejad looks at the General Assembly as a publicity forum simply to surprise world leaders with his unpredictable harsh rhetoric.

“The world has not welcomed Ahmadinejad’s hardline approach. His previous address to the Assembly didn’t resolve any of Iran’s foreign policy issues.

And no one expects anything better this VAHID SALEM 1/ASSOCIATED PRESS time,” he said.

Independent Iranian analysts also critiIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad waves as he boards his plane leaving Tehran, Iran, Sunday. cized Ahmadinejad for making the trip say“What kind of damage will the U.S. ing his anti-Western rhetoric makes life for and-answer forum Monday in New York. at face?”

The Internet brought the event to the fore in away that it would not have been in the past. With actual video accounts of the incident widely available from a variety of different angles in the auditorium, individuals have been able to judge for themselves the extent of force used and its context.

The issue has become especially pertinent for college students—a group heavily invested in campus police’s

And second, was the campus police’s use of force excessive?

Disrespectful and overdramatic, the student was neither a hero nor a martyr sacrificed at the altar of freedom of speech. Even free speech in a public forum must be guided by rules that we all must observe. In this case, a time limit on the question-and-answer portion of the forum reasonably accounts for the speaker’s busy schedule. Curtailing a student’s question does not hinder his freedom of speech; here, it is not the speech that

was limited, only the forum for expression of that speech.

University of Florida campus police, however, were overzealous in their treatment of the situation, especially within the context of a

Although the student was

clearly resisting police efforts to detain him, unnecessary force was evident: Four officers wrestled the student to the floor in the back of the auditorium, handcuffed one of his hands and, after he requested to leave of his own accord, one of the officers used a Taser, hitting him in the shoulder.

In response to the controversy, University of Florida officials requested that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigate the controversy and placed two

dents and itself, DUPD—like police departments at colleges

across the country —needs to articulate a comprehensive policy of the use of force at campus events. Such a policy would make clear the limitations of police force for the safety of both students and campus officers.

Groups that bring in controversial speakers also need to provide attendees with a clear-cut policy that promotes respect at potentially heated events—events that college campuses traditionally play host to.

Indeed, because these issues of free speech are so prevalent on campus, procedures need to implemented to handle crisis situations with nonlethal force if we are to promote positive discussion on campus.

of the campus police officers involved on administrative leave. The investigation will shed more light on the incident, but there does seem to be an exercise of excessive force present here.

On our own campus, the Duke University Police Department plays a huge role in promoting an environment that fosters healthy discussion.

We trust DUPD would have handled the same situation in a much more professional manner, by first calming the student down, and then by escorting him quietly out of the auditorium. DUPD officers have demonstrated a history of acting fairly and professionally when handling situations involving students, even if the department itself sometimes lacks transparency.

For the protection of stu-

julia torti

stimulants at this left of cool point in the semester, I was definitely in trouble For those who are unfamiliar with Adderall, it is an amphetamine commonly prescribed to people with ADHD and some other conditions. When college students abuse it, it’s often to improve their ability to concentrate while they’re studying. The National Institute of Drug Abuse conducted a survey in 2004 that found that nearly 6 percent of students at “more competitive” colleges had taken Adderall in the past year. That compares to 1.3 percent of the students at “less competitive” colleges. In general, the study found that the more competitive the school, the higher the rate ofAdderall use.

In an incredibly unscientific casual survey of my friends who’ve used the drug, users reported that taking the pill allowed them to get a greater amount of work done in a smaller amount of time than they would have been able to do without it.

Many of them also said that the drug made them a bit testy and therefore wasn’t that fun to use on a regular basis. A few of them also drew comparisons between the drug and cocaine; One called it “diet coke,” and another said that if he ran out of Adderall he just took cocaine to study. I don’t actually know how many Dukies use Adderall, but I’ve certainly come across the drug much more than I

anticipated.

Most people I know save their stash of pills for “academic emergencies,” but I also know people who use Adderall fairly regularly. Let’s face it: Duke can be hard. I’ve been lucky enough to have profes-

ONLINE David Fiocco's

sors who demand a high level of engagement with the material, and learning simply takes time. But so do extracurriculars, sports, clubs, drinking and watching “The Office” on TV Links. I’m continually amazed by all the stuff my peers do. I wonder how they have time to get their work done. Perhaps some of us are just stellar at time management, but some are not.

I asked one good friend who seems to be involved in every activity on campus if he ever used Adderall.

He replied that he hadn’t taken the pill but that he drank eight to 10 cups of coffee a day. I was struck by the comparison he drew. Yes, coffee is legal, but it is essentially being abused in the same way as Adderall. I don’t care that Adderall is illegal or that it could be considered a performance-enhancing drug and is potentially immoral. I’m troubled that Adderall lets us sustain a lifestyle that would otherwise be impossible. It isn’t the problem—it’s just a symptom. There has been a lot of concern about the drug, but focusing on the abuse without looking at the root causes of its use is pointless.

So why do we take Adderall? I think it’s fairly simple: There simply aren’t enough hours in the day for us to do everything we’ve committed to doing. For a lot of us, it’s not a new problem. Many of us grew up in our moms’ minivans being shuttled from one after-school activity to another. In high school, we were encouraged to fill our time with as many things as possible. As time has gone on, we’ve increased our workload to the point where our bodies literally cannot keep up. Regularly taking drugs to complete homework is a red flag. It is messing with your body’s chemistry to make it be able to do something it’s not supposed to be able to do.

I advocate listening to our bodies and cutting back a bit. Even if you’re not taking Adderall, chances are you’re drinking too much coffee or just not getting enough sleep. Perhaps dropping that fifth class is a good idea. Maybe you really don’t have enough time to devote to three different campus clubs. Staying in on a Tuesday night instead of going to a bar could be healthy. I think we need to get away from the notion that “work hard, play hard” is a good idea. We need to learn how to take it easy.

Keeping selectives?

Some obvious questions

The

interim report that responded to the February CCI report made clear that eliminating selective housing is not in prospect. Let’s work with that and see where it takes us. But a decade hence Selective Living Groups cannot look like they do now. The current system is grossly unfair. Consider one of the statistics buried in the February robert report: cook-deegan over threeguest commentary fourths of those in SLGs are guys—three men for every woman benefit from the status quo. That was hard enough to defend in 1957. Now it’s indefensible.

We need gender balance in SLGs and we won’t get there unless it’s an explicit goal. It will take more than three years.

The balanced composition of freshmen on East gives way to the incoherent and fragmented housing practices of Gothic Wonderland and off-campus living the next three years. Let’s take two cycles, so that by 2013 SLGs should have roughly as many women as men.

Some groups do not have to make big adjustments: Mirecourt, Maxwell House, PRISM, Brownstone, Roundtable, Languages Dorm, the Arts Theme House and Wellness. For the rest, there are three ways to achieve balance—shrink the number or size of male groups, expand women’s groups, or both. The Baldwin Scholars and Scott House begin to balance Wayne Manor and the dozen fraternities with West Campus housing. That balance needs to tip.

Gender cannot be the only kind of balance. Many student groups promote social organization and student identity.

Those that want it should have a crack at housing. We need a process for groups to turn into SLGs, and physical space to house them. We don’t have either.

One pathway might be for groups initially to room in blocks, and then petition to become an SLG. We already create and move SLGs. When East became a freshman campus, it involved many housing adjustments. More recendy, Duke has created arts groups and the Baldwin Scholars Program. If combined with SLG annual assessments, new groups can morph into SLGs. Some current SLGs may lose their housing blocks if they fail to meet assessment criteria.

Sororities are obvious possibilities.

If we keep fraternities, then sororities should have the same opportunity. History, “traditions” that date back only a few decades and the physical constraints ofWest Campus have kept this option off the table. With new housing being designed on Central Campus, why not consider the possibility of women’s housing, including but not restricted to the possibility of sororities to complement Scott House and the Baldwin Scholars?

Many other groups that are not based on gender are obvious sources of student identity and social organization. Each is a potential SLG nidus: Mi Gente, Black Student Alliance, Diya, Hillel, Newman, Muslim Students Association, Asian Students Association, International Students and Native American Student Alliance.

The groups embody religion, ethnicity and geography. “Embracing diversity” is going to require confronting difficult choices. Are we willing to do that?

A couple examples illustrate the difficult choices ahead. Some distressing statistics did not quite make it into the Feb:

.

ruary CCI report. In survey data covering 1999 to 2004, African-American women reported significandy less sense of community than other groups at Duke, and the effect was not as apparent at peer universities. The gap appeared to be closing by 2004, the lastyear for which we saw data, but several reasons for “lack of community” seem plausible. African-American students are disproportionately represented on Central Campus, a more socially isolated place than West. And traditionally black fraternities have living space, but that same social structure does not exist for black women.

Or consider students from First Nations. Even if we include the Lumbee from North Carolina, whom the federal government does not formally recognize, the number of students at Duke is small, and the Native American Student Association is smaller still. If they want to create a distinct social support structure, would it make sense to form an SLG? Maybe.

But if there were a First Peoples SLG, it would necessarily reduce “diversity” in other groups. That may well be a desired trade-off; indeed, I would argue it is. But we cannot have it both ways. Counting “diversity” the way we do now —expecting it of each group—will in effect mean that small clusters of students who crave cultural identity through group housing will be prevented from achieving it. How ironic to quash group identity through rules to measure diversity.

How far will we go? There are student organizations for Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Turkish, Singaporean, Persian, Caribbean, Hong Kong, Lithuanian, Chinese, Cuban, Arab and Bulgarian students. Would each aspire to an SLG? This cannot be answered in the abstract.

Rules for moving from a housing block to an SLG will require thinking through this. Those rules imply university sanction.Duke’s administration cannot avoid choices, and yet the rules will fail miserably if they come from the top. We need a political process that is fair and transparent to make the rules, and an equally fair and open way to put them in action.

If we are going to have fair selective living at Duke, several things have to change. The plans for apartment-style living for seniors on Central Campus will have to make room for more selective living groups that accommodate clusters of students from all three years. Or we need significandy more housing on West.

Either way, plans for Central Campus must change, so this is a fateful choice.

We need a process for student groups to morph into SLGs. Why can’t Focus clusters blossom into SLGs the same way that arts and performance groups have? Unless new housing is built for SLGs, new ones can only grow if current ones shrink or die—or there will be no independent housing left on campus. We need explicit goals for equity. Diversity will include gender, ethnicity, geographic origin, religion and wealth. Whatever the goals for diversity, we also need to measure it across SLGs in aggregate, and not for each individual group, lest we force all groups to assimilate and disperse.

These are hard choices, but if selective living is going to be part of the Duke undergraduate experience, it must be more fair and balanced that it is now.

Zach Braff repents I’ve

got a clean slate. Karmically speaking I’m somewhere between a baby and a Brown resident.

If it felt like nothing fun happened at Duke this weekend, it’s no comadence. Clearly it’s because me and most of the other Jews on campus left for the high hoii-

days.

no scrubs

This weekend I posed as a good Jew, returning home to “celebrate” Yom Kippur. I use air quotations here because sitting through three hours of services on an empty stomach is not exactly a night on the Wannamaker Fratio.

For those who don’t know, Yom Kippur is the second holiest day of the year for Jews, behind only the Academy Awards. On this holiest of days, Jews come together to repent for a year’s worth of sin through one day of fasting and prayer. It’s basically like a horde of pre-meds cramming at the exam review the day before their orgo final... only more intense and socially inept.

Sitting in the synagogue Saturday morning, I felt like Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense. I saw lots of Jew people. I knew there was no way God was going to be able hear me. So I decided I’d print my prayer for repentance here because I know God reads The Chronicle religiously. He loves the “Stick It!” comic strip.

Dear God, It’s ZACH BRAFF. I know it’s been a long time since... what? No, I can’t get you a signed photo ofNatalie Portman. I’m the other ZACH BRAFF. Yes, you did a good job on her. The JewishJessica Alba? Yeah, that’s funny, God, No, I’m not just saying that.

Look, can I just get to the repenting part?

OK, before I start I just want to apologize for using your full name in print. I know I’m supposed to use the dash but I have a legacy friend we call Gad and I don’t want to confuse her. But on die bright side, I figure there’s no danger in your name being defiled since I’m pretty sure everyone at Duke cuts out my column and puts it up on their wall.

Now to the repenting. God, please forgive me: For the sin I have committed against thee by skipping class. And I’d really appreciate it if you could pass that apology on to ray professors. I’d do it myself but I couldn’t pick them out in a crowd.

For the sin I have committed against thee by praying in class when I do attend. I understand that this looks like I’m sleeping and confuses professors.

For the sin I have committed against thee for using prayer for insignificant events. I know there are more important affairs than the outcomes ofmy midterms. Like the Navy football game. Not happy, God. Not happy.

For the sin I have committed against thee by picking fights with taser-toting Segway cops and then running up stairs.

For the sin I have committed against thee by eating at the Marketplace. There’s absolutely no reason for that.

For the sin I have committed against thee by ordering a “Hungry Guy” at Honey’s complete with eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage and hash browns and then asking the waitress if I can substitute the hash browns with a second Hungry Guy. For the sin I have committed against thee with the bacon in that Hungry Guy. For the sin I have committed against thee by forsaking The Good Book for the Facebook. Isn’t there a Torah application?

For the sin I have committed against thee with that whole “Blue Devil” thing. I knew I was selling my soul, but I had no idea it was only worth $45,000 a year.

For the sin I have committed against thee by declaring only one major, forsaking all double majors, minors and certificates. I am the anti-Leonardo da Vinci. I do one thing, and not very well.

For the sin I have committed against thee by posting pictures of myself with alcohol on Facebook so that people will think I’m cool.

For the sin I have committed against thee by e-mailing my professors with my homework attached and then “forgetting” to attach the homework, thereby granting me at least a one-day reprieve.

For the sin I have committed against thee by renouncing the Career Fair as restrictive.

I know there are boundless job opportunities for me whether I want to work in trad-

ing, investing or consulting.

For the sin I have committed against thee

by pulling the stop cord on the East-West bus about five feet before the bus stop on Monday mornings so that barely conscious freshmen standing in the aisles go flying.

What? You think that’s funny too? OK, nevermind.

For all these things I repent Lord. Please forgive me and write my name down in the Blackboard oflife. Thanks God. See you at Satisfaction Thursday.

ZACHBRAFFandBrandon Cud insist that if this column um chanted appropriately, it should have taken -you. 48 minutes to mad.
