Dressing with class and sophistication, students eat, drink and socialize Thursday at Nasheßevolution.

Last night, more than a thousand students attended Nasheßevolution, a “swanky” gala affair organized by the Nasher Student Advisory Board. A typical night at Duke? Not likely. One of two annual parties hosted by the Nasher Museum of Art, Nasheßevolution boasted a scene reminiscent of a classy New York Cityjazz lounge, featuring everything from red mood lighting to live music provided by the Peter Lamb/Paul Rogers quartet and one of Duke’s own student bands, Smooch and the Big Hug. At one point in the evening, a group of people crowded under a five-foot-tall head, examining the intricacies of each individual nose hair.

“It’s so realistic. It kind of looks like Zinedine Zidane!” said Rachid Safi, a post-doctorate fellow in pharmacology and cancer biology. Behind him, a group of girls swing danced to the sounds of live jazz music that reverberated into the gallery from the dimly-lit main atrium. Clad in pinstripe suits and cocktail dresses, students enjoyed a large assortment of hors d’oeuvres, desserts and a cash bar featuring soda, white wine and five varieties ofbeer. Many students said it was a great alternative to the usual social scene at Duke, drawing an eclectic crowd of people that usually do not interact with each other.

Administrators confirmed Thursday that the University will once again provide funding for the operations of Tailgate. The decision comes after nearly two years of booze-infused Saturday mornings in the Blue Zone parking lots without Duke’s official endorsement. Larry Moneta, vicepresident for student affairs, said the University plans to implement a proposal that will give the Duke University Union, Duke Student Government and other student groups the Larry Moneta resources to provide food, water and live music at Tailgates. “Barring any unexpected challenges in the next week, this will go into effect,” Moneta said. “It’s a done deal, it’s just a matter of working out the details.” He said the administration has yet to determine the extent of its involvement, but added that he and Executive Vice President Tallman Trask have approved the proposed plan. Trask said he will meet with administrators and student leaders next week to finalize arrangements for the Oct. 13 Tailgate before the football game against Virginia Tech. DSG President Paul Slattery said the new policy will remind students of pre-2006 Tailgates because the administration will be there to hand out foodand water, not citations. “The security policy will be the same but

Sewage spills into Sanford by

A ruptured underground pipe in the Sanford Institute of Public Policy building Wednesday morning caused a sewage leak that seeped into the Fleishman Commons, the Sanford Deli and first-floor restrooms. As a result of the leak, all water in the building was turned off. “There was water all across the [Fleishman] Commons, and definitely not clean water,” said Alison Hoenk, a graduate student in public policy, noting that it had a “definite sewage stench Signs posted in the building directed people to use restrooms in Rubenstein Hall next door to the Sanford building ”

Teen in'Jena Six'case released on bail by Doug Simpson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A black teenager whose prosecution in the beating of a white classmate prompted a massive civil rights protest here walked out of a courthouse Thursday after a judge ordered him freed. Mychal Bell’s release on a $45,000 bail came hours after a prosecutor confirmed he will no longer seek an adult trial for the 17-year-old. Bell, one of the teenagers known as the Jena Six, still faces trial as a juvenile in the December beating in this small centralLouisiana town. “We still have mountains to climb, but at least this is closer to an even playing field,”

JENA, La.

said the Rev. A1 Sharpton, who helped organize last week’s protest. “He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him,” Sharpton said. District Attorney Reed Walters’ decision to abandon adult charges means that Bell, who had faced a maximum of 15 years in prison on his aggravated second-degree battery conviction last month, instead could be held only until he turns 21 if he is found guilty in juvenile court. The conviction in adult court was thrown out this month by the state 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal, which said Bell should not have been tried as an adult on

that particular charge. Walters had said he would appeal that decision. On Thursday, he said he still believes there was legal merit to trying Bell as an adult but decided it was in the best interest of the victim, Justin Barker, and his family to let the juvenile court handle the case. “They are on board with what I decided,” Walters said at a news conference. Walters said Bell faces juvenile court charges of aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy to commit that crime. Bell is among six black Jena High School students arrested in December after a beating that left Barker unconscious and bloody.

Myanmar protesters shotat least 9 dead THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

YANGON, Myanmar Soldiers with automatic rifles fired into crowds of antigovernment demonstrators Thursday, killing at least nine people in the bloodiest day in more than a month of protests demanding an end to military rule. Bloody sandals lay scattered on some streets as protesters fled shouting “Give us freedom, give us freedom!” On the second day of a brutal crackdown, truckloads of troops in riot gear also raided Buddhist monasteries on the outskirts of Yangon, beating and arresting

dozens of monks, witnesses and Western diplomats said. Japan protested the killing of a Japanese photographer. Daily demonstrations by tens of thousands have grown into the stiffest challenge to the ruling junta in two decades, a crisis that began Aug. 19 with rallies against a fuel price hike then escalated dramatically when monks began joining the protests. With the government ignoring international appeals for restraint, troops fired into packs of demonstrators in at least four locations in Yangon, witnesses

and a Western diplomat said. Protesters—some shouting “Give us freedom!”— dodged roadblocks and raced down alleys in a defiant game of cat and mouse with soldiers and riot police that went on for most of the day. Some 70,000 protesters were on the streets at the height of the chaos, though the total was difficult to estimate as different groups broke up and later reformed. Sandals were strewn by a pool of blood at one spot where people fled approaching police.

Israeli military forces killed at least eight Palestinians and wounded 25 in an airstrike and a tank-led ground operation in Gaza Wednesday. The Israeli army said the raids were a response to near daily bombardment of Israeli border towns.

Emily Hallquist THE CHRONICLE

Five years ago, Professor Fiona Somerset

taught all her classes in the Allen Building, where her office is located. Now, to teach one ofher English classes, she has to travel to Trent Drive Hall on Central Campus. “The rooms we had suited our needs, but we no longer have them,” Somerset, an associate professor in the English department, wrote in an e-mail. “[English classrooms assignments are made] without regard for the inconvenience or even impossibility of travel time and without regard for the unsuitability of certain rooms to teach certain kinds of English classes.” As Duke departments have expanded and divided, maintaining the tradition of having professors’ classes in the same building as their offices has become more and more challenging, said Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College ofArts and Sciences. “[The University is] busting at the seams,” he added.

The English department, which is located in the Allen Building, now has to share the building with the Classical Studies department and the administrative offices of Trinity College and the GraduateSchool. This semester, of the 46 English classes taught, only 21 of them are held in the Allen Building, University Registrar Bruce Cunningham told Thompson. “Not having access to the classrooms near our offices damages a sense of community within the department and between professors and students,” Somerset said. Currently, Duke faces a challenge in successfully allocating space to satisfy the needs of its academic departments, Thompson said. Following the institution of the foreign language requirement in Curriculum 2000, the number of students enrolling in language classes rose dramatically, he said. Thompson noted that these language classes, which are capped at 18students, require

Bangladesh through microcredit, a system which gives loans to expand small businesses. The call was organized by RESULTS Education Fund—a Muhammad Yunus nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting knowledge on issues of hunger and poverty throughout the world—to explain the measures the World Bank must take to encourage poverty alleviation in other countries. Sam Daley-Harris, RESULTS and Microcredit Summit Campaign founder, moderated the call between Yunus and reporters. Daley-Harris reported that in 2003, 700 parliamentarians wrote then-World Bank President, James Wolfensohn, requesting a meeting for an increase in World Bank funds for microcredit from 1 percent to 2 percent and for a commitment that half of those funds go to the verypoor. The lobbyists also wanted a requirement ofcost-effective poverty measurement tools to ensure compliance and an annual report on results. The World Bank staff—which DaleyHarris said opposed these measures knew that Wolfensohn supported these changes, and therefore, kept the meeting from happening, Daley-Harris explained. Soon after, 500 parliamentarians wrote Wolfensohn’s successor, Paul Wolfowitz, to discuss these changes, and Wolfowitz agreed to meet with Congress two years later. Wolfowitz avoided that meeting, however, by resigning from his position as —

World Bank President in June 2007. In July, 72 members of Congress continued the campaign and wrote current World Bank President Robert Zoellick. After less than a month of holding the position, Zoellick agreed to a meeting, which is set to occur Oct. 3. Daley-Harris said the outcome of this meeting could make a huge difference on microfinance and on the very poor. After explaining the problems with the World Bank to the journalists and praising Yunus for his work, Daley-Harris introduced the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. He explained the success he experienced in Bangladesh, where the Grameen Bank currently reaches over 80 percent of the poor families with microcredit. Conversely, Yunus said, microcredit programs in other countries remain small. Reaching 15 percent of the poor with microcredit in countries outside Bangladesh is rare, Yunus said. Yunus added that theWorld Bank claims to be the most important financial institution created for the poor, with an overarching goal of reaching out to poor people and helping them out of poverty, but he said the World Bank is still not involved in microfinance to an appropriate degree. After speaking on the improvements the World Bank needs to make, Yunus opened the floor to questions. Yunus said he had met with Zoellick Wednesday in New York, and the president had been sympathetic toward reshaping World Bank policies. “It’s very much a government-oriented program,” Yunus said. “We need to find away to go outside the government and start doing work with other parts of society that would be more relevant to ad-

dressing poverty.” Daley-Harris said young people can get involved in a variety of ways, and some students in the United States are forming microfinance clubs on college campuses nationwide. “If you look around, you can find ways to get involved,” Daley-Harris said.

Ten thousand miles across the globe in Singapore, students of the Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School will graduate with Duke degrees, but their stories will have nothing to do with EastWest buses or the Gothic-style architecture.

Changes to Tailgate will be similar to pre-2006 Blue Zone policies.

TAILGATE from page 1 they will be providing us with food, grills and water,” Slattery, a senior, said. “The provision offood is a reversion to the old model.” Under the new proposal, students will be allowed to drive into the Blue Zone parking lots 30 minutes prior to the start of Tailgate to drop off grills and stereo speakers, but then be required to remove their cars. The policy will also prohibit students from carrying personal food or water botdes into the Tailgate area. Students will not be allowed to bring more than one case ofbeer into the Blue Zone parking lot, and administrators monitoring the gate will check the ID of any student transporting alcohol. Junior Sunny Kantha, DSG vice president for athletics and campus services, said the stringent entrance policy will create a more inviting atmosphere once students enter the lots. “The University presence will be a little bit more relaxed, and we’re giving students a little more freedom,” he said. “The reason the University is relaxing the policy is to get students to take responsibility on their own.” Moneta said the changes to Tailgate policy address his concerns about the event’s overall safety. “I have very simple requests of the students: don’t throw beer cans and don’t drink yourself into oblivion,” Moneta said. “But my target is a very small group of students.” He added that he also plans to discuss changing the name of Tailgate to the “Gameday at Duke Experience.” DUU President Katelyn Donnelly, a senior, said the Union will use the funding to bring a DJ or live band, which will centralize music and eliminate cars blasting songs from opposite ends of the parking lot. “One of the ideas is getting an ’Bo’s and ’9o’s cover band that would play songs that relate to the Tailgate theme,” she said. Kantha said he hopes the added regulations will keep rowdy students under control, so people who do not usually venture to the lots on those designated Saturdays will come to Tailgate. “The whole point is that it will be more accessible,” he said. “[Tailgate] looks terrible from an outsider’s perspective, and we’re still trying to make it presentable —make it a more social atmosphere rather than straight debauchery.” Dean ofStudents Sue Wasiolek said the policy changes will be put intoeffect for the next Tailgate, but it is uncertain if subsequent home games will be handled the same way. “I don’tknow if we’ve looked past the Oct. 13 game,” she said. “The hope and expectation is that it will go well and continue for the rest of the season.” One year after the administrationremoved all support for Tailgate, Moneta said he believes the new policy will allow the Saturday festivities to succeed and endure. “I’ll be pleased to walk through and join in, and I hope students will join me in going to the football game,” he added.

the problem still remains,” Peters wrote. To add insult to injury, the building’s air conditioning, which uses chilled water to operate, was also shut down. “Because folks were continuing to use water in this building, the University facilities folks were forced to turn off the water in order to finish the sewer line repair work,” David Arrington, associate director offinance and administration of Stanford Institute, wrote in an e-mail to all building residents. “Should your office become unbearably hot, then I recommend you go home.” Facilities management staff said the long-standing drought in North Carolina is to blame. “It’s not unusual for pipes to break when the earth gets dried out,” said Gary Teater, the utilities and maintenance supervisor for the Sanford building.

NASHER from page 1 “It provides a common theme that everyone is comfortable with,” said senior Stesha Doku, co-chair of the advisory board. Although many students attended the party to mingle and socialize, others had a different agenda in mind. “Events like this provide an intellectual setting outside of the classroom for students who are looking for social oudets that are a little outside of the norm,” said freshman Catherine Meyer. She was accompanied by Madeline Lieberberg, a visiting prospective student from New York. “It’s just very shocking to see an event and setting like this in North Carolina,” Lieberberg said. “I mean, some of these same works are at the Museum of Modem Art [in New York City]. It’s nice that they bring this stuff on campus.” Many students also praised the University for doing a good job in introducing new

cultural events at Duke “The cultural scene here is very vibrant,” said freshman Tiffany Pao. “I feel like there are a lot of opportunities—you just have to search for them. And there are so many good concerts that people don’t take advantage of.” Though some people bypassed the galleries for the complimentary food and opportunity to socialize, the art was far from ignored. “The really great thing is that there’s a party going on, and students are in the galleries, looking at the artwork, reading the labels and justhaving a really good time,” saidAnne Schroder, curator of academic programs at Nasher. “It’s a really great thing about Duke students—they are so engaged.” She added that almost 13,000 works are accessible to students through Nasher, and the annual parties are an effective way to get students in the door. “It’s their museum and their party,” Schroder said. “Someday, they may become trustees at the Museum of Modem Art in New York, but this is where it begins.”

Nevertheless, many local hospitals and clinics have been eager to accept Duke-NUS GMS students, he added.

Preparing a House for Selling Submitted by Deborah B. McGiffin, Extension Agent,Family & Consumer Sciences North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, Durham CountyCenter

If your family has outgrown your house or if enough equity has been accumulated in the house to make a down payment on another residence, you may want to consider trading up to a home more suited to your needs. Trade-up buyers make up the largest and fastest growing segment of today’s housing market. For most families, the move up almost always depends on first selling the current home. If you are thinking of moving, there are a few tips for packaging your home for a quick and profitable resale. Be sure the sales price reflects current values. An over priced house will linger on the market and will be more difficult to sell later, even at a more realistic price. On the other hand, if the price is too low, you could lose thousands of dollars needlessly. Have a real estate appraiser estimate the value based on similar houses, nearby that have sold recendy. The appraiser or real estate broker can help you set your asking price that might be above or below the appraisal, depending on market activity and how quickly you need to sell. Put your home in tip-top shape. Make needed re-

pairs especially for minor low-cost items. Buyers are easily turned off by dripping faucets, torn screens, worn and damaged paint and other signs of neglect. Consider the home objectively from the homebuyer’s perspective. Daylight and light colors make oth-

erwise small, dark spaces seem larger and more cheerful. Repaint with a fresh coat of white, off-white or neutral color paint. Open the draperies, shades or blinds. If the rooms are cluttered, pack up and store personal items, artwork and non-essential furnishings. Keep the air fresh. Unpleasant odors are a big turn off. Fresh paint and a good cleaning can make the house smell new, but cooking, pet, cigarette and medicinal odors will undo your efforts. Make sure the house is clean each time your real estate agent calls to say a perspective buyer is on the way. If you have the time, put a pie in the oven to bake just before a “hot prospect” shows up. Easier yet, boil up a potpourri of pie spices.

If your home needs major repairs, measure what their cost will add to the sales price. It may be wise to offer the house as a lower priced “handyman’s special” eliminating the expense of repairs. Your appraiser or broker can advise you on the cost effectiveness of repairs and how good the local market is for fix up properties. Consider all the offers to buy. Remember, low offers are better than no offers. Even unacceptable bids provide information about the market and the salability of your home. A low bid may be made in the hopes of a counter offer. Your real estate broker should assess the situation and help you negotiate the highest possible price. However, it is up to you to make the final decision and determine the bottom line price.

Homeownership is the biggest financial investment most consumers make. Whether you decide to sell, trade up or fix up and stay put, it makes financial sense to maintain your home with resale value in mind.

After playing eight straight contests in the the Blue Devils are travelling north in search of their first ACC win. No. 15 Duke (5-5,0-2 in the ACC) clashes No. 10 Boston College (7-2,1-1) tonight at 7 p.m., before squaring off against No. 14 Boston University (8-2) Sunday at noon. Both games will be played in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Duke hopes to build offa TONIGHT, 7 p.m. Chestnut Hill, Mass, weekend in which it played harder than it has before, especially in its loss to North Carolina last Saturday, “The first half of yj the Carolina game was one of our best halves,” IR freshman Susan Ferger said. “I* gave us a new ciuunAV SUNDAY, noon standard for the rest of Mass, Chestnut Hill, the season, and we’re trying to keep up the intensity.” For the Blue Devils to translate their effort into wins, though, they must find away to get on the scoreboard. Duke has been shut out in three ofits five losses and has particularly struggled against top competition, tallying only four scores against five ranked opponents. In their loss to the Tar Heels, the Blue Devils failed to even attempt half as many shots as UNC.

After Navy’s game-winning field goal sailed through the uprights as time expired last Saturday, the Blue Devils could not help but feel a sense of deja vu. (1-3, 0-1 in the ACC) heads to Miami this weekend looking to avoid that feeling all over again, y$ considering its game last Oct, 21 against the Hurricanes (3-1, 0-0) had been team s most recent noon SATURDAY, Coral Gables, Fla. last-second defeat With just three ticks on the clock, the Blue Devils were six yards and six points from victory, but quarterback Thaddeus Lewis threw his fourth interception of the game, and Miami escaped from Durham unscathed. “I put us back into a situation to win the game,” Lewis said. “But I wouldn’t want to be in the same predicament again. If we get the opportunities we had last year to put the game away, we have to do it so it doesn’t come down to the last play.” Despite putting on a veritable offensive clinic against the Midshipmen, Duke focused this week on improving its late-game output Even though the team has averaged 22.5 points per game, it has yet to produce a fourth-quarter point In contrast, the Blue Devils’ four opponents have scored 48 combined points in the final quarter. Facing off against a Hurricanes team thathas also had its troubles scoring late in the game, headcoach Ted Roof recognized the importance of winning the small battles down the stretch.

dium. After an evenlyplayed first 63 minutes in which neither team could generate a real scoring threat, Virginia forward Kelly Quinn put a chip shot over the head of Duke goalkeeper Allison Lipsher to break the stalemate. Lipsher had come out ofthe box to stop Quinn, but the Cavalier forward popped the ball over her head, and it rolled into the net, despite the best efforts of three Duke defenders who tried to chase it down before it crossed the goal line. Head Coach Robbie Church said that from the angle at which he was standing, it appeared as if Quinn’s fluke shot was going out of bounds, and that once it went in, his team struggled to recover. “We went toe to toe with [Virginia],” Church said. “A goal like thatjust breaks your rhythm, and it breaks your concentration.” Quinn’s strike left the Blue Devils in such shock that Virginia capitalized again less than two minutes later, as midfielder Julia Falk put away a one-touch cross for a 2-0 advantage. The Duke defense lookeddiscombobiilated for that two-minute stretch and feels ithas

a lot to learn from the second-halfmiscues, “We obviously didn’t respond as well as we should have,” defender Christie McDonald said of the defense’s reaction to the first goal. We let another one in right afterwards. It’s something very valuable to learn, especially this early in the season.” Blue Devil midfielder Elisabeth Redmond said the offense’s increased pressure in the second half contributed to Virginia’s scoring burst by forcing more players to the Cavalier half of the field. Yet, Duke maintained its high-paced attack even after the 70th-minute tally in an attempt to level the score. The Blue Devils’ best scoring opportunity came with 15 minutes left in the game when Jane Alukonis put a header off the crossbar that ricochetted straight down but not in. Lorraine Quinn had a last-ditch effort with one minute to go but it too missed the net. Although the gamewas very disappointing for Duke, it was one that held special meaning for Redmond. Her older sister Jen plays for Virginia and had an assist on the second Cavalier goal. The Duke sophomore said she tried not to thinkabout it too much. “It’s always tough,” Redmond said of facing off against herolder sister. “But it’s just a game.” Now that the Blue Devils have opened conference play, their focus on each contest has intensified. The team must move forward as it faces Virginia Tech Sunday at 2 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium. “We’re going to do our best to regroup after this game and go at them again,” Redmond said.

THE CHRONICLE

When the Blue Devilsface offagainst Clemson tonight at Historic Riggs Field, in away they will be looking two weeks into their past That is because the Tigers (3-4-1,0-2-0 in the ACC), like Duke during its recent struggles, have been unable to put the ball in the net despite having many scoring opportunities. vs. Clemson has gone 0-21 in its last three games while musteringjust two goals on 52 shots. FRIDAY, 7 p.m “They’ve not gotten Clemson, S.C. the results they’ve expected but have been playing pretty well,” Duke assistant coach Mike Jeffries said. “A different record, but a little bit like us in that they’ve been competitive in a lot of games but haven’t found away to win and to get the goals. We can empathize with that story.” Just as the Tigers were entering their drought, the No. 7 Blue Devils (6-2-0,1-0-0) were leaving theirs. After dropping two of three games in mid-September, Duke has amassed nine goals in winning its last three matches—including a double-overtime victory over conference rival Maryland Sunday and a 5-0 offensive explosion against UNOWilmington Tuesday. “Of course, there’s that time during the season... where you feel like things don’t always go your way,” defender Darrius Barnes said. “The defense isn’t always clicking with the offense, but we’re starting to come along. We’re starting to hit our stride and get our rhythm.” The Blue Devils’ rejuvenation on of-

Judging by their 3bgame home winning streak, there’s no doubt the Blue Devils know to defend their court.

fense could not have come at a better time. Tonight’s game marks the first in a line of six straight ACC contests, including backto-back matches against North Carolina and No. 1 Wake Forest and a matchup with fourth-ranked Virginia. But Duke is not looking ahead to playing a top-five team or its archrival. It is focused only on the Tigers. “We’ve definitely got to respect our opponent, no matter who it is,” Barnes said. “Every ACC team’s going to be tight—there’s no easy games in the ACC. We have to bring our ‘A’ game every time we come out.”

won three of the last four meetings in the series, including the previous two. At the end of the regular season last year, the Blue Devils lost 1-0 in Clemson, S.C. The game was physical, highlighted by 32 fouls and seven yellow cards—a trend Duke expects to continue tonight. “That’s Clemson—that’s what we expect from them,” Jeffries said. “We’ll try to put our stamp on the game and play the way we want to play.... We’ll set the tone and not get caught up in a WWF game.”

FOOTBALL

Peter’s gameday prognosis by

Matthew Iles THE CHRONICLE

After one ofDuke’s most prolific offensive explosions in school history, football beat miterMatthew lies caught up with offensive coordinator Peter Vaas to discuss the team’s successes heading into this weekend’s game against Miami. Matthew lies: What were the positive and negative aspects of the offense’s performance last weekend against Navy? Peter Vaas: Well, the bottom line is we didn’t win. So, the bottom line is we didn’t score enough points. I was disappointed with the two turnovers we had in the second halfand the penalties we had in the second half. Anytime you lose, you generally look at self-destruction and that’s what that was. The positive part was we threw and caught the ball pretty well for the better part of the game. MI: What do you attribute the offense’s improvement to since the first game of the season? PV: I think it’s just the execution’s better. We change a lot of stuff every week, but its more the schematic and philosophic approach to an opponent rather than it is fundamentals. We’re throwing and catching. We’ve had less dropped passes, we’ve had more accurate throws, we’ve had better pass protection and all those things go into better execution.... [Also,] I think our offensive productivity out of the shotgun in general has been better as the season has moved along. I think we’ve all become a bit more comfortable with the things we can and can’t do out of thatformation. MI: How has quarterback Thaddeus Lewis progressed so far this year?

PV; I thinkThad’s just more comfortable in his surroundings.... It’s like your first day on a newjob. You walk into the office, you’re a little nervous, and you’re looking over your right shoulder, looking over your left. As time goes on, you feel more and more comfortable, more and more at ease and more and more confident. I think that’s what’s happening with Thad. One of the things you have to have with a quarterback is experience. Well,' experience? You have to go growing pains of playing e: MI: Given the offense quarter struggles this ser do you have to do better execution late in the gam< PV: I don’t know exact!' to attribute it to. We’ve making it a point of eny sis to execute better in fourth quarter. Whatever cause has been, we’re tryin to rectify it by making a si? nificant emphasis on o centration in the fourth q ter so we don’t self-destrur MI: Are you looking f< to playing against Miam Orange Bowl’s final seas PV: I look forward ery Saturday.

be. We just need to be consistent on getting it in.” Despite its serving woes, Duke leads the ACC in several offensive categories, including assists (16.58 per game), hitting percentage (.271) and kills (17.75 per game). The Blue Devils owe much of their success to the duo of DeMange and senior Ali Hausfeld. DeMange continues to thrive with a conference-best 5.15 kills per game. Serving as the perfect complement to DeMange, Hausfeld currently leads the ACC in assists with 14.15 per game. The senior setter is closing in on Duke’s all-time assists record, and at only 62 sets away, could potentially break the record thisweekend. However, head coach JoleneNagel stressed to

the importance of not focusing on individual statistics. “It’s a huge accomplishment for Ali and for this entire program,” Nagel said. “We’re going to celebrate the achievement when it happens, but it isn’t going to be the focus.” After sweeping FSU 3-0 in both matches in 2006, the Blue Devils may not recognize the team that takes the court Friday: The Seminoles get significant production from freshman Lauren Rosenthal and Oregon transfer Mira Djuric. Miami, which left Virginia last weekend with 3-2 wins over both the Cavaliers and Virginia Tech, also poses a threat. Although Duke is anxious about leaving its comfort zone in Cameron, it’s ready to face whatever opponents bring. “We know they’re going to do everything to try and dissect us and stop our strengths,” Nagel said. “But in difficult environments, we want to step up to the challenge.”

GRANT MEEKER /THE CHRONICLE

The Duke defense will need to be at the top of its game against the Hurricanes, particularly in the fourth quarter when ithas struggled.

FOOTBALL

rom page 13

“That’s another area of emphasis,” Roof said. “If you look at the quarter-by-quarter breakdown, we’re a little bit behind in the first, a lot ahead in the second, [and] a little bit behind in the third. So, in the first three quarters of the football game overall, we’ve scored a lot more points than the teams we’ve played. The fourth quarter has been something we haven’t performed very well in. We’ve got to find a way to close the football game and play the fourth quarter.” Offensively, the Blue Devils have tended to beat themselves late in games with turnovers and penalties. Additionally, many successful drives have resulted in zero points because of the kicking game’s inability to convert even short field goals, something Roof said is responsible for some of Duke’s losses over the last few years. Defensively, Duke has struggled to capitalize on the third-and-long situations. This was epitomized in last week’s performance against Navy when the Blue Devils pushed the Midshipmen into 19 third-down situations but only stopped them seven times, four of which resulted in either a first down or field goal. Roof said these missed chances add up over the long run and can spell disaster for a team’s success. “What’s happened is on the average, the opposition is running 80 plays a game, and we’re running an average of 60,” Roof said. “So when you do the math, it’s 100 extra yards of offense, and that’s seven to 10 points. That’s been the margin in a couple of our football games. We’ve got to do a better job on third down.” Despite the team’s apparent room for improvement, the Blue Devils are still optimistic about the progress they have had so far this season, especially on offense. The 43-point, 438-passing-yard outpouring against Navy nearly doubled the team’s totals from the first three games combined. Nevertheless, as Duke heads into the remainder ofits ACC schedule, the competition will only get tougher and the games more meaningful. The next step toward salvaging this season would be a win against Miami in the Orange Bowl, preferably sans drama.

FIELD HOCKEY

from page B

The problem has not gone unnoticed, and Duke has worked in practice to correct its scoring woes. “Most of our problems have been stepping in front of defenders,” said Amie Survilla, who is tied for the most goals on the team. ‘We’ve run a lotof offensive plays this week. Ifwe can communicate and step in front of defenders, then we can win.” Duke will needits attack to yield results if it wants to top both of its northeastern opponents this season. Last year, Boston College came to Williams Field Sept. 30 and defeated the Blue Devils 2-1 in double-overtime. The Eagles were led by All-ACC forward Bob Dirks, who hit the game-winner. Dirks already has five goals this season. Boston University, meanwhile, is looking to improve on its showing against Duke. Last season, the Blue Devils coasted to a 4-0 victory over the Terriers Sept, 10. Currently, Boston University is on a five-game win streak, including a 3-0 blasting of then-No. 15 Virginia Sept. 23. Despite its past struggles, Duke simply is looking to move forward. “This week will be a turning point in the season,” Fergen said. “If we win both games at the beginning of the second half of the season, thenwe can turn over a new and more successful leaf.”

reinforce the values

espoused by Duke. The new mission statement—though broad—would work to adequately address this

issue. Brodhead’s draft begins with the overall conclusion that “Duke University is committed to excellence in athletics as part of a larger commitment to excellence and education.” From the first sentence, athletics are framed as a part of Duke’s primary mission of pursuing education and excellence. Another strength of the new mission statement is the addition of the sentence that states that “Athletics also plays an important role in creating a sense of community in the University.” No Duke student can deny the power of athletics to build a community

centered on school pride. The atmosphere in Koskinen Stadium, Cameroon Indoor or the Chapel Quad after a victory is unparalleled and a positive experience for the entire community. Most important, however, is the recognition that the physical and educational benefits conferred by participation in athletics should not be limited to a small segment of the Duke population. Brodhead calls for the creation of“rich opportunities for participation in club sports, intramurals, and individual exercise and recreation.” For the sake of the University as a whole, let’s hope that these promises can be converted into action as Alieva crafts his strategic plan for athletics at Duke.

NCAA and college athletics programs. That controversy, sparked in large part by a letter written in October 2006 by Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) to NCAA President Myles Brand, forced college athletics departments across the country to examine how athletics reinforced and complemented the lessons learned in the classroom. In the wake of these events, Brodhead’s revision of theAthletics Department’s mission statement can be seen as a necessary action and a positive step forward for the Duke community. Critics—ranging from students to faculty to interested onlookers—have argued in recent years that the Athletics Department exists outside of the University and does

When

I was in the sixth grade in Orlando, Fla., my science teacher gave a class on the Florida aquifer. The aquifer, from which the entire state ofFlorida draws its drinking water, is a groundwater reservoir in the underground limestone foundation upon which the entire state rests The more depleted the aquifer, she said, the more fragile the limestone that makes up the state. And the more fragile the limestone? “The more sinkholes!” we shouted. detwiler Sinkholes, for desperate, please hire those from nonporous states, are sudden collapses in limestone understructure that often swallow houses and whole sections of road. That night, I went home and dreamed about my house tipping into a giant maw of desiccated earth; the protracted bowl ofOrlando filling with seawater from either side until thirsty residents raced alligators for safety atop the 30-story Suntrust building. I have never left the water running while brushing my teeth since. In Durham, we obtain our drinking water from lakes; two of them, actually, both of which are currently 14 to 15 feet below their normal levels. In the case of a drought, like the one we are in now, no one’s house would be more likely to fall into a hole. We would be saddled with little more than a few dead trees and an ugly gash in the landscape where a lake used to be. So instead of gaping sinkholes, all of our dire prognostications about water consumption rest upon a number. Last week, Durham announced that, given a worst case scenario, the city has only 76 days left of water. Then the criticism began. If this is a catastrophe, then why didn’t the city announce it sooner? Why isn’t Duke doing anything!? We are all going to go thirsty and all of our houses are going to fall in the earth! Except a number is not a sinkhole. This isn’t the first time this has happened in Durham, nor is it the worst, nor is it likely to be the last. Fall is the dry season in North Carolina, and the Durham Department of Water Management anticipates

this. They provide a number based upon existing water levels, no new rainfall and no change in

to decide what level of restrictions to enact. Assuming we achieve a reduction in our

consumption

usage levels in accordance with their recommendations, the chance we will actually run out of water is next to nothing. According to Vicki Westbrook, deputy director of the Department of Water Management, Duke University is doing an exemplaryjob of implementing their recommendations. “[Assistant Director of Grounds Services] Joe Jackson has a really great plan for what [Duke] is going to do to cut back... he has already made a number of changes,” she said. As ofWednesday, Durham had experienced a 14percent reduction in water usage since mandatory restrictions were put into effect. This even accounts for Saturday, an allowed watering day. Now, we have 79 days of water left, even though we’ve been drawing from our allowed amount for five days. But a 14-percentreduction is not quite enough, as the city predicts we’ll need 30 percent to last on our current water supply. If we don’t manage it, the world won’t end, restrictions will just get tighter and more uncomfortable until we do manage it—but we’ll look like a bunch of jerks. Inasmuch as catastrophizing our water situation leads people to curb their usage, like freaking out about sinkholes did for me, then it’s a great thing. However, it shouldn’t drive people away from making changes because they believe only the actions of large corporations and universities can make a difference. Duke students can add to the 30 percent mark by making their personal habits more water-friendly. Reuse towels and add a little; find and report a leak on campus and add a lot. People who live off-campus, like graduate students and staff, are already more affected by the mandatory restrictions against washing cars and daytime watering. We can make an even bigger impact by doing less laundry, only running the dishwasher on full loads or installing water-efficient showerheads. Don’t worry, I’m doing my part. I’ve got a sink full of dishes and the last time I washed my POS Ford was sometime in 2002. (I’m telling my roommates it’s to prevent sinkholes).

An open letter on Few Quad renovations

Dear

Board of Trustees and students, It has come to my attention that many students are misinformed as to the nature and necessity of the upcoming Few Quadrangle renovations, and as such, have displayed unwarranted concern about the remodeling project. I hope that this letter illuminates the reasoning behind moving Few Quad to the forefront of the Gothic renovations. ryan todd Let me begin by saying column guest that I stand to be impacted by the Few renovations. I am currently a graduating senior residing in Few and will be required to move to temporary housing after the last day of exams until the final day of graduation. Despite this inconvenience, I present four points that illustrate why renovating Few Quad this coming spring is a logical and necessary choice. (1) The number of “displaced” students is expected to be significandy fewer than 438. Although Few dorm does house approximately this many residents, roughly 40 bed spaces on West Campus and another 40 on Central Campus are unoccupied each fall semester. These could easily be used to house some students while Few is closed. Furthermore, due largely to the renovations in Few, more people are expected to study abroad in the fall than in previous years. Lasdy, Residence Life and Housing Services is looking into using bed spaces, study and common rooms more efficiendy to create additional bed spaces once Few is taken offline. (2) The Few renovations will not destroy any selective living group. The renovations will not dissolve the three fraternities or the two selective living groups currentlyresiding inFew. The groups are being presented with the choice to live in a designated section somewhere else on West, or to reside as a section on Central. Furthermore, the groups will be allowed to maintain the same number of bed spaces, live in adjacent rooms and be allowed to use the space as their own. Moreover, now that the new Residential Group Assessment Committee evaluation is beginning this year, selective living groups and fraternities will be repositioned on a three-year rotation. So moving from Few to another quad should not be perceived as a punishment or a disservice, but rather as part of the new norm. (3) There is no regular rotation of quadrangle remodeling, nor is Few among one of the more recently remodeled dorms on campus. The last major renovation ofFew took place in the early 1950 when die heating, ventilationand air condition system was installed. Keohane, Kilgo, WannamakerandEdens all postdate Few in time of significant renovation. In fact, the “renovation” thatFew underwent in 2004 was nothing more than remodeling of two handicap-accessible rooms. The Few project 0f2004 affected less than 1 percent of the entire quadrangle. To call this a renovation is to misuse the term in the worst way. Instead of a regular rotation, RLHS constantly evaluates whichdorm is in most need ofrenovation. (4) Few is the most deserving candidate for upgrades. It is true that Crowell and Craven were originally slated as the next dorms to be remodeled. However, a mold remediation project over the summer of 2007 has shown that the air conditioning in Few is in need of immediate repair. Although it has been certified that Few is safe for inhabitation throughout this academic year, the mold will be a continual problem until the entire heating, ventilation, and air condition system is replaced. Furthermore, the remediation project brought to RLHS’ attention that the “HVAC” system is in serious jeopardy of not operating after this academic year. The option exists, then, to allow the Few air conditioning to deteriorate until it ceases to function while Crowell is renovated. On the surface, this seems to make sense since Crowell’s amenities are, admittedly, slighdy inferior to Few’s. However, Crowell is equipped with radiators that provide heat, whereasFew is heated entirely by the HVAC unit. Thus, to allow the air conditioning to Ml into disrepair would require 400 Few residents to endure the winter without any way of heating their rooms. I doubt that anyone would ask a group of students to bear such a hardship, nor would anyone expect the trustees to risk students having to live in such harshly substandard living conditions. I hope that these points serve to put to rest many of the concerns that students have raised concerning the necessity of the project as well as answer many questions that people have posed about the renovation project. -

letterstotheeditor State of Judicial Affairs is outrageous While catching up with on-campus news, Ijust read a couple of Elliott Wolfs recent columns and was absolutely outraged by the current state of the Office of Judicial Affairs. This code is a disgrace, and an affront not only to students but to their parents and all alumni. Is it not enough that the current president in Washington and his cronies trample on our Constitutional rights? Now we see (again) that Duke’s administration cares not at all about students’ rights, but is ready to side with a Durham Police Department that has repeatedly proven to be not merely untrustworthy but outright corrupt. I encourage all undergrads, “guilty” or not ofany behavior that the administration might not like, to stand up for their Constitutional rights and their rights as members of the community. Write to Dean Sue, Dean Bryan, President Brodhead, Vice President Moneta and anyone else who might conceivably listen. And if that doesn’t work, begin protests outside the Allen Building. While freedom from prison may not be at stake, your access to a Duke education (and any diminishment of that which disciplinary action implies) is, and these tactics are, truly, a “social disaster.”

The polarizing strawman “innocent life” has no basis in medical science. A delivered pregnancy shorter than 20 weeks has a 99 percent mortality rate, with mortality decreasing with increased gestation time. A fetus, potential human life, often cannot be saved in the best conditions. Pro-lifers should complain that Erectile Dysfunction can be treated (arguably increasing pre-term birth and miscarriage rate), but every pre-term baby cannot be saved. Prolifers ignore spontaneous abortions (a.k.a. miscarriages), which occur in 25 percent of pregnancies. Believers in “Something Else” should also condemn their allegedly benevolent, powerful deity for not saving an “innocent life” through negligence or unintelligent design of the reproductive system. Will pro-lifers make exceptions when the mother’s health is threatened by medical complications or for victims of rape or incest? Will they force women to terminate or delay higher education during and after pregnancy, education that can grant more personal stability to conceive, carry to term and nurture a child for 18 years?

Interested? Intrigued? You should be. At least, that is according to renowned pick-up artist Neil Strauss. The opening line of this column is a perfect example of what is known as a “neg.” A neg is defined as “neither a compliment nor insult,” and is used to “lower a woman’s self-esteem while actively displaying a lack of interest in her.” When used effectively it can attract the elusive beautiful woman or the even more elusive Friaxt day Chronicle reader. Last year, Strauss—alpalindromes ready a contributor to The New York Times and Rolling Stone—wrote a memoir about his time in the pick-up community. His book, titled simply The Game, details how Strauss evolved from a self-described “formless lump of nerd” to a master pick-up artist. Yet, before I go any further, I need to remove any sense of objectivity from this column. This isn’t an impartial review; it’s an ode to the miracle that is Neil Strauss. The Game is my bible. No, seriously. The edition I own looks just like a bible. It comes with a leather cover, gold-tinted pages and a silk page marker. The thing is completely filled with my underlinings and observations. It holds a permanent spot next to my bed. Anyway, The Game—which debuted at No. 1 on Amaon.com—is not the only sign of the emerging popularity of the pick-up culture. Any Internet search reveals hundreds of online forums where eager men can gather to give advice and trade stories. Even as I write this, a new champion is being crowned on VHl’s reality TV show, The Pick-Up Artist. It’s easy to see that while the art of picking up women may never have been out of style, its stock is definitely high right now. As would be expected, The Game is filled with effective opening lines and eloquent strategies on how to get any girl you want. There is also the requisite detailed physical description that one would expect from a book about seducing women. However, what makes The Game

so great is its unexpected sense of honesty. Strauss is unafraid to admit how utterly pathetic the past years of his life have been. By the end of the book, picking up women is not some mystical, glorified process. In fact, it’s a little creepy. (This is, after all, the field in which a contestant on The Pick-Up Artist can be described as “looking very predatorial”—and it’s a compliment.) Attracting women soon deteriorates into pretending to read palms or telling people blatant truisms about themselves. Strauss finds that women are no longer even viewed as all that attractive, but rather “solely as measuring instruments to give me feedback.” Eventually, he looks around at the desperate men he lives with and realizes that “we were all searching outside of ourselves for our missing pieces, and we were all looking in the wrong direction.” Following his own advice of “to win the game is to leave it,” the book ends with Strauss renouncing the pick-up scene the moment he finds a girl he actually likes. In fact, the entire pick-up lifestyle seems more dedicated to male friendship than anything else. Strauss notices how “I’d never heard grown men cry as much as I had in the last two years.” Similarly, at no point does a character on the TV show The Pick-Up Artist even have sex, but there is more man hugging and tear shedding in one episode than in an entire season ofWill and Grace or Friends. After being eliminated, one contestant explains while sobbing how his experience on the show “set me free.... [lt] gave me wings.” It’s hard to believe that any of this was ever just about women. Ultimately, the best aspect ofThe Game is that the readers can view a pick-up artist any way they want. Strauss gives us just enough evidence to picture these men as gods or simply needy, immature children. Envious readers can use the book as a manual to attract all the women they wanted while disgusted readers can cite the work as proof that all pick-up artists are still just losers. Even I have no idea whether to emulate Strauss or laugh at him because—to me—it seems like there is nothing more confusing than a grown man, surrounded by beautiful women, bawling his eyes out.
