DSG releases analysis of financial aid policies ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Last year’s Duke Student Government president, Lisa Zeidner, told students she would force financial aid to the top of the University’s agenda.

And a 100-plus-page report from her Task Force on Financial Aid looks like it will make good on her word.

Released July 19, the report calls for several significant changes in financial aid policy, including the revocation of a policy that penalizes financial aid students who own cars, the addition of summer financial aid and the relocation of the financial

aid office. Administrators have already taken action on the third suggestion (see sidebar, page 1) and will use the months leading up to the December Board of Trustees meeting to craft a response to the rest. “I think the DSG report is a very valuable contribution to our efforts...,” Vice Provost for Finance and Administration Jim Roberts wrote in an e-mail. ‘There is a high degree of convergence be-

tween the DSG report and the

THIS ROOM in the In-

work of [an administrative financial aid planning group] and that bodes well for our taking some very positive steps in the next couple of years.”

The report represents a yearlong project by the DSG Financial Aid Task force, set up last year by Zeidner. One of her top campaign priorities, the document relies on the results of a survey of 204 financial aid recipients and the discussions of eight focus groups organized by residency, greek status and race.

“The purpose of this whole study was to understand better real, actual, lived experiences of

students,” Zeidner said. ‘That’s one of the things that stuck out most to me... how much students had in common. We heard many ofthe same things over and over again. We heard many of the same problems and issues.”

Law school lays out long-term strategies This is the first story in a weekly series about long-range planning in the graduate and professional schools.

By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

As it climbs in national rankings and reputation, the School of Law now faces the University’s latest long-range academic planning initiative with a fine-tuned, proven strategy.

Focus on technology, internationalization and interdisciplinarity. Hire faculty who understand those areas and their relationship to basic fields of law. Pursue projects and grants that emphasize these themes.

“I think [this planning project! has been an interactive thing,” said Provost Peter Lange. “They were already working in areas like intellectual property and were very interested in law and electronics and / f n th a 10 InO changes in biological sciences....

The blueprint is part of the strategic initiative that involves every school’s individual planning as well as University-wide interdisciplinary planning.

The law school already teaches more students enrolled in joint programs than any other law school in the nation. It has long focused on interdisciplinarity, from its key role at the beginning of the Center for Genome Science and Policy, to a still-developing idea for a Center for Environmental Solutions headed by Professor of Law Jonathan Wiener (see story, p. 12).

Military Reserves search for recruits The recruiting problems have continued—with the three Reserve forces unlikely to make their targets by the time the fiscal year ends Sept. 30—even though the active-duty services have turned around their own dismal recruiting record after an infusion of new recruiters, increased advertising and enlistment bonuses, according to Pentagon records.

For the first time since 1997, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps are all expected to meet their recruiting goals this year—an achievement Secretary of Defense William Cohen and other officials have attributed in part to sharper marketing strategies and a string of military pay increases.

WASHINGTON—The nation’s military Reserves are increasingly struggling to fill their ranks with new reeven as the Pentagon relies on them more heaviacts, ly than ever to conduct operations around the world, according to military officials and Pentagon documents.

In each of the last three years, the Army, Naval and Air Force Reserves have each fallen short of their recruiting goals; last year, the Air Force Reserve missed its objective by nearly 40 percent, signing up only 7,518 of the 11,791 recruits it needed. Only the Marine Corps Reserve has steadily recruited enough new troops in recent years.

Freshmen tackle language SAT II 400 students get faulty schedules

By JOSH FEIN The Chronicle

Less than 24 hours after arriving at Duke, 300 incoming freshmen faced their first college exam; an SAT II language placement test, administered as a

part of Curriculum 2000.

Students were tested in Spanish, French and German in order to decide the level of language courses they would take.

“We are very pleased,” said Bob Thompson, dean of Trinity College. “It was a strenuous day of testing, but we got it done, scored, taken to the coordinators and made the appropriate course placements.”

Thompson said administrators were able to place students in every section of the languages tested, with extra seats remaining. “We can accommodate every student who wants to take a language first semester,” he said.

Several students, like incoming freshman Steven Tamayo, were relieved to be done with the exam. “It was definitely good to get it over with,” he said.

Others had mixed feelings about the exam, particularly the decision to hold it so early in orientation week. Erin Wright, like many of her freshman classmates, said the test was administered too soon after move-in. “I would have preferred it to have been later,” she said. “It was an eye opener. I just got here and suddenly, I have a test.”

Unlike students, individual departments have been preparing for the test for months. ‘The departments have been working diligently to leam about the language history of each student,” said Del Avent, coordinator of the National Testing Program and organizer of the exam.

Students were also allowed some say over which section they were placed in. “Each student is allowed flexibility of one level up or down if they feel that is appropriate,” Avent said.

While testing during orientation is something organizers hope to continue for years, this is the only year they will use the SAT 11. Individual departments are developing tests to use in future years.

This year, the one-hour test was proctored by paid graduate students and scored by Carol Reilly, manager of the Medical School Central Teaching Facility.

Results were available the same afternoon and submitted to the pre-major advisors before they met with the students.

Thompson said he sent a letter to students during the summer asking for a language preference. Threehundred and fifty picked Spanish, French or German

last week.

“I’m really perturbed,” said freshman Ryan Gossage. “I did it all over the summer and had it all figured 0ut.... Then when I get here, I’m signed up for three classes, one of which is biological anthropology, which—if you look at me—l’m not that kind of guy.”

University Registrar Bruce Cunningham explained that in previous years, when the registrar’s office could not schedule all four classes requested by a freshman, it often added a random fourth course. This year, administrators decided to wait until students had a chance to meet with their pre-major advisers before adding another class.

“I actually received fewer complaints in the past,” said Cunningham. “[ln the pastl they were dumped into something.... This year, let’s let them have a chance to get with their advisers.”

Still, as is the case every year, many freshmen complained they were enrolled in classes they hadn’t selected.

“Even classes I did have were different from the ones I signed up for,” said freshman Laura Howard.

“People from my hall got classes they’d never even heard of.”

Administrators did not seem worried, explaining that many freshmen complain about their schedules each year. Still, with the advent of online registration, even more freshmen expected to get the classes—and sections—they requested.

“I think students felt as if they [registered online], that’s what was going to happen,” said Bob Thompson, dean of Trinity College. “As you know, those are your requests and you have to see what you can get into and how many people are requesting that particular class .at that particular time.”

Further complicating the situation were curriculum changes. For example, freshmen can now take See SCHEDULES on page 14 'P-

TAI/THE CHRONICLE

THREE HUNDRED FRESHMEN took the SAT II in Spanish, French or German Thursday to get into language classes. and were sent a reminder about the exam. While only about 300 actually took the test, organizers were nonetheless pleased with the turnout.

Students were charged the standard $3O that the College Board charges for the exam. Freshmen who were interested in another language were told to speak individually with the language department of their choice.

Students who scored 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement exam or in the high 600s on a previously taken SAT II were exempt from the exam and placed automatically into a 100-level course.

Thompson said the exam was given to help administrators make better decisions when making students’ schedules. “The test is designed to give one more piece of information to make better placements,” he said.

Orientation weekend parties de-emphasize alcohol

By JESSICA CLOUGH The Chronicle

Salsa and merengue at the Chapel, hip-hop in the Marketplace and a live band at the Gilbert-Addoms Dormito-

ry. Three different types of entertainment converged on campus in one evening, as freshmen and upperclassmen gathered Saturday night to cele-

brate their first weekend at school—or their first weekend back.

As part of freshman orientation, the three parties were designed to prevent

the typical herds of freshmen from travelling to West Campus for an alcoholsoaked social scene. Instead, administrators hoped that activities like midnight soccer, a performance by the band Coconut Groove, a late-night showing of The Matrix on East Campus and the annual Lambda Jam would provide alternatives to an alcohol-centric weekend.

“I found that the events catered to

everyone,” said freshman Camille An-

derson. “There has been a lot more things to do than I had expected.”

But despite attempts to de-emphasize drinking, three students were reported to have been involved in alcohol-related incidents. EMS was called to pick up two students, one of whom had fallen in the bathroom while intoxicated and suffered an injuiy to his head. The third person was found passed out by Trent Drive.

And even though drinking was not necessarily the focus for events on campus, several living groups held parties at off-campus houses, in compliance with University policy that prohibits on-

campus events involving alcohol during orientation weekend. “I haven’t seen any alcohol but I am sure it’s there,” freshman Susan Clark said.

Still, many freshmen said they were pleased by the non-alcoholic programming that took place on both East and West Campuses. For example, the Lambda Jam, sponsored by Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc., drew a swarm of about 300 people who danced to the music of Miami’s DJ Laz. The fraSee PARTIES on page 14

New election board hopes to regain voter confidence

By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

Little Drummer Girl Cultural diversity was the theme of the day Sunday, when freshmen listened to the traditional welcome speech by Maya Angelou and celebrated various cultures. This Japanese student played the drums while other students danced to international music. The festivities are an annual event sponsored by several University cultural groups. They were scheduled to take place in front of the Chapel, but the threat of rain drove them into Page Auditorium.

Just five months shy of the national election, the Durham elections system fell apart. Now, following the botched May 2 Democratic state house primary, state officials are trying to piece together a new office and board of elections to restore waning voter confidence and integrity to the county’s electoral process.

“We are not prepared now, and we have a great deal to d0...,” said county election board member Ronald Gregory, “We need to have a great deal of communication and education and some cooperation with the media. I think the board will have to explain its interest in that kind of cooperation and step out boldly.”

The breakdown began months before the primary, when election director Carol Booth and her associates, who fall under the supervision of the Durham County Board of Elections, failed to properly notify approximately 4,600 Durham voters that their precinct had changed. Partly as a result, about 732 votes were illegally cast, either because District 23 voters were allowed to vote elsewhere or other voters were allowed to vote in District 23.

Paul Miller defeated incumbent Rep. George Miller by 1,352 votes.

On July 10, the board dismissed 13 citizens’ official complaints calling for a revote. The next day, the Durham board recommended that the state board fire Booth. Then, on July 18 and 19, the state board upheld both decisions on appeal.

Shortly thereafter, deputy director Cheryl

Todd, who was supposed to take Booth’s place, resigned in protest.

Amidst all the controversy about the election results and the elections staffing, two of the three board members were going through struggles of their own.

Board chair Jane Ryan, the only member to vote against Booth’s dismissal, resigned on July 24 and said all other board members should also resign.

Then, Jennifer Melvin, the only member to Vote in favor of a new election, stepped down Aug. 5. A month earlier the Republican Party had asked her to resign her post. Melvin first would not resign, but when she eventually did, she said that she stood by her actions.

Now, only Gregory, a Democrat, remains on the board, and will meet for the first time Sept. 5 with new board members Democrat Carol Anderson and Republican Terry McCabe. At that meeting, they will need to find a new election director, name a board chair, begin to fix the computer and registration anomalies that caused the election-day confusion and restore voter confidence.

McCabe, a moderate Republican, thinks the next few months will present a tremendous challenge to him and his new colleagues. “I think the whole republic is founded with the foundation of one person, one vote,” he said. “If it is perceived as being corrupt, or if it is perceived as being biased, the whole foundation of the country in which we live is compromised.

That board and that operation has to be open to all registered voters.”

Gene associated with Alzheimer’s protects kidneys

By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle

If every cloud has a silver lining, does every gene in our body also have a specific benefit?

Three years ago, researchers at Duke University Medical Center discovered that patients with the E-4 variant of the apolipoprotein gene suffered greater cognitive declines after heart bypass surgery then patients without this gene variant. This APO gene is also associated with some common forms of

Alzheimer’s disease.

But in a new study published in the August edition of the journal Anesthesiology, a team ofMedical Center researchers discovered that the E-4 gene variant can also help protect kidneys from injury during heart surgery, making for an interesting

paradox.

Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology Dr. Mark Stafford-Smit, the lead author of the study, explained that this is not only the first case of a proven genetic basis for kidney impairment but also a curious phenomenon. “While the gene is the devil in case of Alzheimer’s disease, it’s the hero with the kidneys,” he said.

Out of approximately 800,000 patients who un-

dergo coronary bypass surgery each year, about eight percent suffer some form of kidney dysfunction. In one percent of cases, the injury to the kidney is serious enough to require a dialysis machine.

Researchers are not sure why kidneys might be damaged during the surgery. Still, regardless of the seriousness or cause of the injury, Stafford-Smit pointed out that these dysfunctions in the renal system cause significant increases in patient morbidity, mortality and overall cost of the procedure.

“Kidney injury [during heart surgery] isn’t frequent but if it is severe it greatly increases the chance that the patient won’t survive,” Stafford-Smit said.

The researchers took patients’ blood samples and tested them for accumulated levels of creatinine, a product of the body’s daily functions that is usually filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. Since in-

creased levels of creatinine in the patient’s blood are accompanied by other harmful chemicals, it is a clear indicator of kidney dysfunction.

Associate Professor of Anesthesiology Dr. Mark Newman explained that this latest finding would enable doctors to better tailor specific operations to the patient’s genotype. “Down the road it may help us to understand which patients are at a greater risk for a specific type of procedure,” he said.

Stafford-Smit agreed, further explaining that genetic factors could potentially determine what type of surgery the patient would have or if it would be better to rely on medication alone.

Newman added that further identification of risks associated with certain genes brings researchers closer to finding out the exact causes of kidney injury during heart surgery.

Gore presses Bush for more specifics on health care policy

By KEVIN SACK

N.Y. Times News Service

Vice President A1 Gore attacked Gov. George W. Bush on health care policy Sunday, using a telephone interview to reiterate his own proposals in detail and to mock his opponent’s positions as lacking “a minimal standard of substance for serious debate.”

Gore’s comments came on a day when each campaign dispatched a surrogate to attack the other’s positions on health policy, and when Bush’s running mate, Dick Cheney, acknowledged in two television interviews that Bush does not yet have a detailed plan for financing a prescription drug benefit for the elderly. Providing such a benefit under Medicare, at a cost estimated at $253 billion over 10 years, is a centerpiece ofGore’s platform.

Gore’s interview on health care, initiated by his campaign, elaborated on a theme that he plans to address throughout this week. It was a clear attempt to keep the campaign’s agenda firmly on Democratic turf and to

push Bush further on the defensive after a rocky week.

Bush plans to spend the week talking about education on a six-state tour that begins Monday. He had hoped to do the same last week, but wound up devoting much of his time to defending his tax cut plan from a daily assault by the Gore campaign.

Aides to Gore have made it clear that they believe health care is a winning issue for the vice president.

Repent polls have given Gore an overwhelming advantage when voters were asked which candidate would do a better job dealing with health care in general and with prescription drug prices in particular.

Gore and his aides also have used health care to highlight the risks they see in Bush’s proposed $1.3 trillion, 10-year reduction in income tax rates, which they claim would leave little of the federal surplus for new programs. And because Gore focused much of his attention on health care during his 16 years in the House and the Senate, his campaign views health policy as an issue

that can reinforce the notion that Gore is more knowledgeable and better prepared than Bush.

In the telephone interview, Gore used several similar constructions to question Bush’s seriousness.

“What’s good for the American people is to have an adult, intelligent discussion of the specifics of these issues,” Gore said.

Also in the interview, which Gore conducted by telephone from his residence in Washington, the vice president criticized recent television advertisements by the Bush campaign and the Republican National Committee. The Bush advertisement, which began airing late last week, said Bush would “make prescription drugs available and affordable for every senior who needs them,” while it accused Gore of“pushing a big government plan that lets Washington bureaucrats interfere with what your doctor prescribes.”

Gore scoffed at those claims. “I’m waiting for the plan,” he said. “The ad says there’s a plan. Where is the plan?”

Lieberman calls for increased lowa invites immigrants to role of religion in public life stem dwindling population

By RICHARD PEREZ-PENA N.Y. Times News Service

DETROIT Declaring that belief in God is the basis of morality and of the

nation, Sen. Joseph Lieberman called Sunday for a greater role for religion in American public life.

“As a people we need to reaffirm our faith and renew the dedication of our nation and ourselves to God and God’s purpose,” Lieberman, a Connecticut senator and Democratic vice-presidential nominee, told the congregation of Fellowship Chapel, one of this city’s largest African-American churches.

“John Adams, second president of the United States, wrote that our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people,” he said. “George Washington warned us never to indulge the supposition ‘that morality can be maintained without religion.’”

The candidates have been more overt about their religious faith this year than in any other presidential campaign in memory. Gov. George W. Bush has said his favorite political philosopher is Jesus, “because he changed my heart,” and Vice President A1 Gore, a professed bom-again Christian, has said when faced with tough decisions, he asks himself, “What would Jesus do?”

Yet the comments Sunday by Lieberman, the first Jew nominated for national office by a major party, were striking for a moderate Democrat. His words, if spoken by a conservative Christian, would probably be received with alarm by

many factions in Lieberman’s party—including many Jews—who are wary of the political activism of the religious right.

Unlike many conservative Christian politicians, Lieberman has not taken positions like advocating prayer in schools or, like Bush, the Republican presidential nominee, saying religious groups should take over much of the burden of social services now shouldered by government.

But Lieberman—who refers at every campaign stop to his Jewish faith and the role of religion in Gore’s life—went further Sunday than he previously had in this campaign in asserting a role for religion in politics and public discourse.

His themes—and even his phrases—were remarkably similar to those often voiced by conservative Republicans.

“Let us reach out together to those who may neither believe nor observe and reassure them that we share with them the core values of America, that our faith is not inconsistent with their freedom, and that our mission is not one ofintolerance but one of love,” Lieberman said.

But he bluntly made the case for allowing faith into politics. “I want to talk to you this morning about another barrier that may fall, as well, as a result of my nomination,” he said. “I hope it will enable people, all people who are moved, to feel more free to talk about their faith and about their religion. And I hope that it will reinforce the belief that I feel as strongly as anything else, that there must be a place for faith in America’s public life.”

MARSHALLTOWN, lowa No one would call lowa a melting pot.

Nearly 96 percent white, this state may have more kinds of cows and corn than nationalities of people.

And some lowans contend that the immigrants that the state does have—about 2 percent of the population—cause crime and burden schools, health care and welfare programs.

So it is all the more surprising that lowa is proposing something no other state has done: an all-out immigrant recruitment drive.

The proposal is to make lowa what a governor’s commission calls an “immigration enterprise zone,” and the possibilities include seeking an exemption from federal immigration quo-

tas—an unprecedented request that could require congressional action.

Other ideas involve making lowa a priority destination for refugees, helping companies recruit employees abroad, even having the governor make sales pitches to prospective emigres.

The idea is to ease lowa’s population deficit, bringing in enough people to create a work force for a vibrant economy. lowa, which hemorrhaged families during the farm crisis of the 1980s and still loses young people after high school, has fewer residents than it did 20 years ago. And with an unemploy-

i

r f

I■

merit rate of 2 percent, there will not be enough workers to allow many new businesses to open, or existing ones to expand or even replace retirees.

‘The point is we need more people,” said lowa’s governor, Tom Vilsack. “Part of that can be done by trying to keep young people here. Part of it can be done by trying to bring lowans back to the state. But an aspect of it has to be a program or plan or some kind of method by which we become a welcoming state for people from different cultures.”

Vilsack knows some lowans, and immigrants, may find it hard to adjust.

In Marshalltown, a community of 30,000, the influx of several thousand Mexican immigrants to work at a meat-packing plant has not been universally embraced. This month, a petition was submitted to the county board of supervisors calling for county business to be printed in English only.

“It’s great for liberals to say we’re all immigrants,” said Biff Dysart, who

edits Marshalltimes Magazine. “But if you look back at all of our families when they came here, they all did their level best to assimilate. The current crop of immigrants not only does not want to assimilate, they drive around town with Mexican flags flying from their antennas, and they refuse to leam the language, many of them do.”

Law professor envisions environmental institute

By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle For 15 years, Professor of Law Chris Schroeder has been working to establish an interdisciplinary center for environ-

project has spread beyond the law school, and observers say approval seems likely.

The group of 30 faculty members who have already committed to the project have worked on it in some form for several years. For the last five springs, the group has hosted a colloquium on these issues designed to build on existing expertise in the Nicholas School of the Environment by bringing these scholars together with experts from the business, engineering and law schools and from arts and sciences departments including economics, public policy and biology.

“The essence of environmental issues is the interconnectedness of ecological

mental studies at the University. Now, the planning process, which has as one of its foci the solicitation of proposals for new interdisciplinary initiatives, could make the Center for Environmental Solutions a reality.

Project organizer Jonathan Wiener, a professor of law, is' now waiting to get provisional funding from the provost’s office and approval from the planning process’s social sciences group. For the past several years, enthusiasm for the systems and human systems, and yet the

government policies tend to treat environmental issues in a narrow, piecemeal fashion. And then universities have treated environmental issues in a piecemeal fashion,” Wiener said. “The overriding objective of this center is to bring a truly integrated approach to complex environmental problems.”

Law school faculty, in particular, have rallied around the project, but Wiener explained that enthusiasm across the University has been growing. “We’re working very carefully to strengthen and organize the enthusiasm so that we can be successful,” Wiener said.

Eventually, organizers hope the center will publish and publicize integrated

scholarship and recommendations on contemporary environmental issues, with policy solutions as well as science playing a significant part in the reports.

‘To the extent that we can build a network here at Duke of international collaboration across those interdisciplinary lines, I think we can have a terrific impact on the [science]-oriented as well as the policy-oriented aspect in the field,” Schroeder said. “There will be a considerable increase in collaborative projects that involve people from more than one department or more than one school.

That’s our ambition, anyway.”

He added, however, that he was not surprised by the study’s conclusion. “I think [Cook] was basically right...,” he said. “It’s entirely consistent with what people said

about the Brady Bill before it passed.”

Other experts who praised the study also disagreed with Cook’s views. “It was a great study. It was impeccable,” said New York University law school professor Jim Jacobs. But Jacobs added that no policies will ever fully remedy the problem of gun violence.

“Maybe regulation makes us feel better, but we waited too long and it’s too late,” he said. ‘You can’t get the genie back in the bottle.”

Not all the data from the study were released to the public. Cook and Ludwig also analyzed data for gun-related robberies and assaults, but Cook said they declined to publish those findings because the data, which were collected by police departments across the country, were probably inaccurate.

Much of the data were also irrelevant, Cook said—about half of all robberies are committed by people under 21, who can not buy guns legally and thus would not be affected by the Brady Act. In addition to the study, Cook and Ludwig have also written a book called “Gun Violence: The Real Costs,” which will be published by Oxford University Press in late September. It examines the effects ofgun-related violence on the American standard ofliving.

Students praise diversity of crowd at dance party PARTIES from page 6 ternity also raffled a trip for two to any Sandals beach resort in Jamaica; sophomore Chevon Haswell won the vacation.

Several freshmen said they preferred the alcohol-free Lambda Jam—as well as the alcohol-free hip-hop party cosponsored by the Black Student Alliance and the National Panhellenic Council to the fraternity scene on Main West.

“I thought that a lot of the frat parties —

weren’t really parties, just people standing around,” said freshman Jennifer Reid.

The Lambda Jam was awesome though.”

The diverse crowd at the Lambda Jam, which took place on the Chapel Quad, drew praise from both students and administrators.

“For some reason the crowd was very diverse at the Lambda Jam,” said freshman Iciss Tillis. The most diverse I have seen ’til now.”

their required writing course either in the fall or the spring; previously, all freshmen took the course in the fall.

“Ninety percent asked for it in the fall,” Cunningham said. “So you got a whole bunch of people who didn’t get what they want.”

In addition, many freshmen had trouble accessing ACES Web Friday.

Thompson said the system wasn’t broken, just a bit overwhelmed.

In light of these complications, administrators will reevaluate their decision to allow freshmen to register for specific sections of courses online.

“Things took longer than ordinarily would happen, so problems began to emerge and we had narrower time win-

dows to deal with them,” Thompson said. “When we get everyone where they need to be, we’ll have time to think about the amazing capacities of the system and how we want to use them.”

He added that pre-major advisers were trained to deal with students worried about their schedules.

“Students are some of their parents are anxious and their advisers have been trying to manage the anxiety and certainly some problem-solving,” Thompson said.

He added that students met with their advisers Friday and would have four courses scheduled by the time classes start today.

Diminishing recruiting pool Nigerian president presses for threatens military Reserves relief from debts owed to U.S. P- MILITARY from page 2 But the difficulty in persuading young men and women to sign up as part-time soldiers, sailors and airmen has been a sobering counterpoint. It is also raising questions about the Pentagon’s strategy to turn to the 864,000 members of the Reserves and National Guard for

in recent years. The economy is thriving, creating more, better-paying alternatives to military service. More

and more high school graduates also are heading directly to college, while there has been a steady decline in young people expressing any interest in enlisting in the military.

Law school focuses on science, technology policy P- LAW SCHOOL from page 1

next spring, will involve law to some extent or another.

“I think one of the things that’s going to come out of this planning process by all of the different strategic plans [is that] you will see Duke building interdisciplinary [programs] the likes of which have not been built at any other university,” Dean of the law school Katharine Bartlett said.

Even in the most science-based of its new initiatives, the University has chosen to focus on the policy implications of developing technologies. In genomics research, for example, University officials hope to distinguish Duke from other genomics researching leaders by developing policy in addition to new science.

“Law is a very important aspect of a great deal that goes on in society,” Lange said. “As a part of the overall interdisciplinary project, we highlight not only science but also its social science aspects.

Law is going to be important because of its close relationship with policy.”

For the law school faculty’s part, this round of planning represents another in a long series of planning initiatives. At the start of The Campaign for Duke four years ago, the school outlined its needs and projected new areas for support, and most recently, it drafted its selfstudy for re-certification by the American Bar Association.

“The faculty is a little tired of planning,” Bartlett said. “When I presented the long-range plan, it didn’t stir up a lot of controversy and not a lot of interest but that’s more because the faculty is planning fatigued.... I think this is a University whose momentum is building. It’s changing like no other University is. I feel as a member of that, the law school has a lot to offer the University from the human genome project to global business.”

Former dean of the law school Pamela Gann, now president of Claremont McKenna College, first began the school’s push into technology, an innovative approach that aimed .to both bring technol-

ogy into the classroom and encourage study of technology in law. Now, the law school’s courses are among the University’s most advanced technologically.

Most recently, Professor of Law John Weistart and Richard Danner, associate dean for library and computer services, received a grant to move the school’s contracts curriculum from a text-based to a web-based format.

On the other end of things, the school just hired two big names in intellectual property law—Jerome Reichman of Vanderbilt Law School and American University’s James Boyle. The school already boasts intellectual property rights expert David Lange.

But that’s where specific recruitment in these areas ends. Instead of creating new divisions for technology and international law, the school has taken an integrative approach, targeting faculty with backgrounds in traditional fields and interests in these specialized ones.

“We may need a new evidence professor and all things being equal, we may

favor someone who knows scientific evidence,” Bartlett said. “For instance, in the tax field, we recently hired someone focused on Internet tax.”

In this vein, the law school has bucked a national trend by incorporating international law into each of its traditional fields.

So for the most part, the law school will likely continue on the path it set for itself years ago. It will add four more faculty members, with several specializing in genetics and science, over the next five years. The University will likely allow the school to stay on this course, pushing it toward specialization and interdisciplinarity at the same time.

“Law has been very good,” Lange said.

“It’s a very small law school and it always has a tension between working to cover all the areas of law and to become the best professional educator or specialize in particular research strengths. What we might see in the law school is an effort to develop peaks of strength on top of already high standards.”

Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

Into Africa By supporting Nigeria, the United States is assisting not only a new democracy, but all sub-Saharan African nations President Clinton traveled to Nigeria this week to meet with Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo was elected president 18 months ago, putting an end to a two-decade dictatorship in Africa’s most populous nation. However, Africa itself still largely underdeveloped and isolated from the industrialized world. The Marshall Plan was established in 1947 to systematically stabilize European nations; perhaps now it is Africa’s turn.

Nigeria, with its growing infrastructure, wealth ofoil and other natural resources, is the logical place to start. Although its economic disparity between the wealthy and the poor might be great, Nigeria is one of the few countries in Africa that is stable enough to make a concerted effort toward establishing lasting democracy.

The first step the United States needs to take is to continue to help Nigeria cement its new political system. In order for Nigeria to grow and prosper, it needs to become economically and politically stable. This requires a system of adjudication, defined property rights and a government that permits the free flow of economic information.

To secure these goals, Nigeria will need a powerful and reformed army that is loyal to the new government. Clinton has proposed spending $2O million on retraining, preparing and equipping the Nigerian army. This new army would be expected to not only maintain the democracy in Nigeria, but also help maintain peace in neighboring countries like Sierra Leone.

Considering Nigeria’s history of military takeover, it is a gamble to provide this 18-month-old democracy an expertly trained army. The United States must make for certain that the army does not use its newfound strength to usurp the government or trample its neighbors.

The United States’ decision to intervene boils down to putting a lot of faith in the people of Nigeria and their new government to be not only be their own saviors, but possibly the saviors of the rest of subSaharan Africa.

America’s interest in promoting Africa is key in bringing this continent up from poverty and into the global community. Clinton has given a vote of confidence by traveling on this well-publicized trip to Nigeria.

The trip will improve Nigeria’s standing in the eyes of many corporations and nations. The United States also voiced its support by lifting the tourism regulations on Nigeria, making it more possible for American investors to survey the region and explore its potential.

But an even bigger good-faith action is required—the forgiving of Nigeria’s debt to the United States. If Nigeria is to make it, it cannot be burdened by additional economic constraints. Developing countries cannot stay afloat if they are drowning in debt.

Many African nations have been ravaged in recent years by tribal wars, land mines and AlDS—the continent has been ignored for too long. The United States needs to help Nigeria so that Nigeria can lead Africa to its renaissance.

Letters to the Editor

Phone book leaves students susceptible to stalkers For many of us, the Duke telephone directory has been a valuable resource when we have forgotten a friend’s number or need the home address of a friend that has left for the summer.

Yet, as I have unfortunately learned, this tradition that allows friends to stay in touch may not always be used for such innocent purposes. After having been plagued by two stalkers here at Duke —one of those incidents was serious enough to require a restraining order from the Duke Police —it terrifies me that our room location is readily available to any stalker or criminal who may not be using that information as we would hope.

It also mystifies me why my home address should be published. Those friends who

would hope to correspond with me when I am not at Duke are friends close enough to ask me for that information. If all else fails, they can reach me at my email address and I can decide if I feel comfortable giving out that “private” information.

While the current Duke policy allows for a student to request that this information be withheld, that requires 1) that a student know this is the policy and 2) to fill out the written request in the Registrar’s Office before the first week of classes ends.

Regrettably, I did not know about this for my first two years at Duke.

While I am unable to erase my “private” information from the previous year’s directories, nor the experience with the stalkers, I am

able now to keep that information from being readily available to the public and would hope that I might be able to prevent someone else’s personal information from being misused.

Tragically, we may be headed into an era where the disclosure of information needs to be the exception, rather than the rule. Thus I would urge the University to change its current privacy policy and favor a stricter policy intended to protect its students from those who might misuse personal information. Meanwhile, I would encourage those who wish to be selective about their personal information to visit the Registrar’s Office and submit your written request.

THREE BLIND MICE

‘THREE BLIND MICE? We 11... [tone lapses into skepticism]... I’m not so sure about this funny business,” you say. We say, “Ha!” Because a) you’re still reading this, b) your curiosity’s piqued, and c) you’re sitting in 9:10 Intro to Intro, the crossword’s already

done, and there’s nothing better to do.

Especially for those of you who fall under the “captive audience” category, here’s our deal. You may notice that we follow a slew of washed-up wannabe comedians with nitwit names like RED SONJA, the sorority girl who bashed sorority girls or STONE COLD or WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN, who made outrageously insensitive comments just to get people to write letters to the editor. Well, we’ll be scurrying around behind the scenes with a whole new schtick. And if you’re wondering about three of us crowding the space behind the scenes and causing a ruckus (i.e. three people—what the hell?), we prefer to consider it a conspiracy.

Speaking of subversion, the cell phone infiltration has gotten out of hand. The technological revolution has made it easy for the Master Sister to dictate behavioral cues to her minions: The phone rings, enough that quad bystanders can zero in on the transmission target.

Instantaneous boost of coolness quotient. She tosses her hair, wide-eyed with feigned surprise, and reaches into her perilously-close-to-the-armpit Kate Spade bag, withdrawing the receptor. The Master speaks, “[pause for -

effect] Monday; Cowhide print cowboy hats, long skirt with side slits, platform flip-flops.” [click] In the midst of such shameless conformity, the rest of us are contending with the all-too-familiar “So how was your summer?” conversations. Allow us to propose alternate responses that just might facilitate your escape.

Betty Blue Devil: Hey, Slater, long time no see. So how was your summer?

Slater; Pretty productive, actually.

BBD: Really? What’d you do?

Slater: I interned in DC... for this organization called STAND. We ship firearms overseas.

BBD: Sounds cool. What does STAND stand for?

By now all you freshmen out there are probably sick of the painfully

banal introductory dialogue.

Slater: Sustaining Terrorist Activity and Nuclear Development.

Or perhaps, the brutally honest approach....

Kelly: Wow! Brenda! So how was your summer?

Brenda: Oh right, I sort of forgot about you.

Kelly: So what did you do?

Brenda: Kelly, we’re seniors now. So we lived on the same hall freshman year. That was three years ago. And I borrowed your shower shoes One Time. Do you really think that means I should still pretend to be your friend?

Kelly: So do you want to hear about what I did?

Brenda: Riiight.

But jaded upperclassmen aren’t the only ones disenchanted with trite small talk. By now all you freshmen out there are probably sick of the painfrdly banal introductory dialogue. We have some escapist scenarios for you as

we 11....

Freshman 1029: Hi! What’s your name? Where are you from? What dorm are you in? What meal plan do you have?

Freshman 666; Fine. Not much. Thank you. Yes.

Or how about...

Freshman 823: Hey, so what did you do last night?

Freshman 007: Went to West.

Freshman 823: Really? So where did you go?

Freshman 007: If I told you, I’d have to kill you.

Freshman 823: Oh right, dirty rush.

Obviously, this presumptuous freshman isn’t aware of the shadiness that led to the demise of the now-defunct Ye Olde House CC. F-007’s suspect activities just might have related to underground re-recruitment efforts. But really, you’d think Duke Student Government President and former House CC member Jordan Bazinsky could have pushed some papers under the table or something.

Shoot, with his tail between his legs, the kid just dragged the bench into his backyard.

But Bazinsky’s Backyard isn’t the only refurbished locale. Have you tried looking for any Information in the Bryan Center lately? Apparently the new and improved decor is meant to complement the Broadway at Duke series. Between this and OIT cellular service, this campus is going glam. At least some of us can rely on the Master to guide us through these trying times.

In the spirit of subversion, THREE BLIND MICE remind you to buy RT parking passes and photocopy your course packs.

The Center for International Studies, located across Anderson Street from the current financial aid office, will be relocated in October to the new John Hope Franklin Center, located in the Hanes Annex building.

The student loan office currently occupies 2,250 square feet, but the International House occupies just 2,050 feet, leaving questions as to just how the relocation will alleviate the space crunch in the financial aid office.

Although the 80 percent reduction in assault and battery is due partly to fewer rowdy bonfires, it can also be attributed to fewer incidents at the Hideaway, which Wallace said resulted from regular meetings between administrators and Hideaway owners.

Wasiolek said these decreases may be indicative of a longer-term trend. “I don’t necessarily want to jump to any conclusions that we’ve turned a corner,” she said. But she added, “I feel confident in many ways that we have and for that reason I’m encouraged by the statistics.”

“A larger entry area will offer a more comfortable setting to parents and students,” said financial aid counselor Heidi Stump. “As well, each counselor will have her own office, with a door, to offer parents and students the comfort of a private area to discuss financial aid issues.”

But this move is only the beginning of the physical consolidation of the offices.

‘This is a temporary but effective way of bringing these offices into closer collaboration. We’re talking about probably putting them in the same structure,” said Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education William Chafe. But, he added, ‘There has not been that discussion so far.”

Not so long ago, the twenty-first century was widely predicted to become the “Asian century.” But now it seems more likely to become a “global century,’’dominated perhaps not by any one region but rather by global media of communication and multi-polar power structures. A key phenomenon of globalization is regional integration, spearheaded by the European Community. Meanwhile, the nations, economic zones, and cultural spheres of East Asia envision and put into practice their own version of regionalism.

How have Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese seen each other in relation to the geographical space they have inhabited, and what contexts have significantly shaped their interactions? Why, for instance, is regional integration in East Asia more tentative -

Through our readings, lectures, and discussions, the grouping that is East Asia emerges primarily as a product of a shared modern history. Tracing international, transnational, as well as sub-regional relations from the pre-modern era through the end of the twentieth century, we will identify and examine the most important forces that have shaped East Asia historically. Concurrently, we will develop a critical perspective on what it means to study East Asia from within the American academic tradition of area studies.

TH 2( 9:10-10:25) W9.331 Prof. James M. Cook Social networks are patterns of social contact between individuals and between groups. Politics is the process by which powerful individuals and groups attempt to shape the structure of society. This seminar is dedicated to understanding the ways in which social networks affect politics. In other words, how does who knows who affect the way things get done? In order to approach some answers, we will read from the literatures on social networks and politics and work together to unite them in the classroom. Students are responsible for two short memos reacting to these readings. At the same time, each student will engage in and present original research linking social networks to politics. As we study the academic problem of political networks, we will ground ourselves by discussing the practical implications of social networks for the politician and the citizen.

SOCIOLOGY 1965.01 Comparing Social Policy North America & Europe

TU 6( 3:50- 6:20) W9.331 Prof. Martin Seeleib-Kaiser This course is divided into three major sections. First, the course will address the different theories that try to explain welfare state expansion, i.e. modernization theory, class mobilization theory, and the cultural as well as the political institutionalist approaches. In a further step, we will discuss different functions of the welfare state in a capitalist economy. The theory section concludes with a discussion of different frameworks for comparing welfare state regimes. In the second section of the seminar we will take a closer look at a number of welfare state cases in North America and Europe. Furthermore, we will address the issue of social policy at the supra- and international level. The third section will address the issues of poverty, race, and gender in the context of different social policy arrangements.

SOCIOLOGY 1975.01 Population and Family in China

TH 6(3:50-6:20) W9.331 Prof.YiZeng This course is to introduce the most up to date information, theoretical studies and empirical data analysis about demographic trends, determinants and policy issues of population and family dynamics in China. The Chinese socio economic reform since the end of the 1970’s and its connections with changes in population and family will be discussed. Active classroom discussions among the students and instructor will be encouraged. This course is not a technical one, but we will explain the concept, definition, and substantive meaning of the basic demographic measurements in order to enable the students who are not specialized in demography to be able to read the general demographic literature in their career. This course is designated for students who are interested in international development, Asian / Pacific studies and in sociology, population, family, and public affairs in general. For students who are not going to be specialized in Chinese study, this course serves as an illustrative country study and the knowledge I earned can be used in studies of other countries.

Report focuses on car policy, summer assistance � FINANCIAL AID from page 1 versity had ignored the negative quality-of-life impact of financial aid on its students. One of the first such issues to arise several years ago, the car policy subtracts 35 percent of the value of a student’s car from his financial aid package, unless the car is worth less than $3,500 or is older than seven years.

The report reads: “Eliminating the car policy would do more to improve student perceptions of financial aid than any other policy or program that could be enacted because it is such a blatant example of how aided students are treated differently by the University.”

Although Roberts and Director ofUndergraduate Financial Aid Jim Belvin declined to comment on the specific policies, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education William Chafe expressed optimism about changing the car policy. “I just think there’s a fence here of inequity, and some people are being punished for not having... any way of transportation as opposed to flying home,” said Chafe, who leads the University’s admissions and financial planning group, which addresses financial aid.

Summer aid Students and administrators are also carefully studying the possibility of providing financial aid for summer school students and for students who find unpaid summer internships. “Students on financial aid are limited in the types ofjobs that they can accept because they are required to spend their summers earning set amounts of money,” the report reads. “This in turn restricts their summer academic opportunities, particularly in majors like public policy in which an internship is required.”

In addition, the report said support for a ninth semester would help students who come to Duke without any Advanced Placement credits to balance a heavier course load with work-study responsibilities.

“Students who come in and don’t have AP credits with them... have to take an overload two semesters, and the provost’s office frowns on that,” said task force chair and junior Erin Reid. “When you have an overload, you do worse on your grades. If you can take summer school classes and not have to wony about going further into debt, that will help alleviate [the situation!.”

Other policy recommendations Over the past several years, many students complained that the financial aid office afforded them little privacy and that the distance between the bursar’s office on West Campus, the financial aid office on Campus Drive and the student loan office on East Campus im-

posed an extra burden. Now, however, the two latter offices will consolidate into both the International House and the current Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid located across from each other on Anderson Street.

The report made several other recommendations as well, including more flexible dining plans and cost equalization of housing options. “Socioeconomic status in general certainly contributes to where you end up living at Duke,” said DSG President Jordan Bazinsky, a senior. “No one at Duke is trying to segregate people... [but] if we can be cognizant of it and try to work toward mitigating its effects, that’s the goal.”

The students’ role But the report did not focus solely on administrative changes—Zeidner and Bazinsky both believe that stu-

dents can play a key role in reforming the financial aid system. The report recommends dialogue, peer support, advocacy and inclusion as important steps for students.

‘That is something that I hope takes hold and that I hope more students think about,” Zeidner said. “For greater change to happen at the University, it needs to have more active buy-ins from students.”

On that note, DSG plans to designate an officer who, according to the report, will act “as a resource/advocate for students who are on financial aid”; this semester, Reid will serve in this position. In addition, DSG, in coordination with the financial aid office, will publish a financial aid guide to make the process more accessible and understandable to the undergraduate community.

Administrators plan to craft a formal response to the DSG report in the coming months.

HISTORY 1955.13 Women and Welfare in the U.S.

&

Other Societies

This course focuses on domestic welfare policies and their impact in the U.S. and Europe in the 20th century. The course begins in the late Igth century and ends with the US Personal Responsibility welfare legislation of 1996.

The course will study not only the cash transfer programs that we commonly call "welfare." It will also examine comparative health care policies, child care, European family allowances, labor regulation, and policies concerning domestic violence. Course themes include the political incorporation of women and men in modern states, law as an arena of public policy, and the role of social policy in discouraging or enabling women's participation in the waged labor force. The class will also examine the role of ordinary citizens in the making of public policies.

Field hockey drops opener to Carolina Duke has lost 43 straight to the perennial ACC power, a streak dating from Oct. 13, 1981

It’s a fresh century and a newlook lineup for Duke’s field hockey team, but the result was painfully

The squads battled through a

scoreless first half, with both teams getting several quality scoring chances. However, two-time All-American Jana Toepel found the back of the net off a penalty comer with 21:30 to go for the Tar Heels’ first goal. After that, signs of fatigue and frustration began to set in for Duke, and North Carolina quickly scored two more offthe stick of Kristen McCann.

“I thought our team fought really hard and stuck with the game plan,” said coach Liz Tchou. “We had four or five opportunities. We could have had four goals right there.”

The Blue Devils had several breakaways and partial breakaways in the first half, set up by the excellent stickwork of junior Liz Bateman, sophomore Robin Merrit and senior Courtney Sommer. However, many shots sailed wide of the cage and,

But hustle didn’t make up for their somewhat disorganized backfield play. North Carolina’s methodical attack scored all three goals off of penalty corners. For the game, North Carolina had 10 corners, as opposed to only six for Duke.

“McCann just killed us off the corners,” Tchou said. “You can’t give up that many corners

Hempen pleased with team’s performance WOMEN’S SOCCER from page 31 Junior Sarah Pickens opened the scoring for the Blue Devils in the first minute of the game.

Sophomores Brigid Bowdell and Allison Sanders also scored first-half goals to pace the Blue Devils to a 3-0 '

halftime lead.

Duke failed to score for the first 30 minutes of the second half. Hempen said he was elated that his squad was put in a situation where they had to react and adjust to adversity.

“We made substitutions with some pretty specific instructions in the second half,” Hempen said. “It was a great situation for the team.”

Freshman midfielder Gwendolyn Oxenham broke the scoring drought with two goals in an eight-minute span that sealed Catawba’s fate. Sophomore forward Liz Wagner finished the scoring for the Blue Devils with a goal with five minutes left in the contest.

Hempen described his team’s defense as “unsettled” at times. Shutting down the opponent’s attack has been a focus of many practices so far.

“A good bit of our preseason was spent talking about how we are going to defend,” he said.

The Blue Devils return to action this Friday when they open the ACC season against Maryland in College Park at 7 p.m.

The game against Catawba should prove to be a stark contrast to the Maryland game, which should be a tight affair. Hempen emptied his bench, giving the majority of playing time to younger players.

“Everybody got to play, and we are at a really good level as we go into the season,” he said.

Although this was their first official game, it was the team’s second chance to play with each other against NCAA competition. The team beat Elon 4-0 last Wednesday.

Florida State football opens season with 29-3 spanking of BYU

The defending national champions rode the strong arm of 28-year-old Chris Weinke, who passed for 318 yards

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT Associated Press

Not bad for JACKSONVILLE, FI. an old guy.

Chris Weinke did more than stand back in the pocket and throw touchdown passes; The 28-year-old quarterback ran, blocked and even knocked over the opposing coach as No. 2 Florida State opened defense of its national title with a 29-3 victory over BYU in Saturday

night’s Pigskin Classic.

Weinke wasn’t his usual accurate self, but he hit on 32 of 50 passes both career highs—for 318 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran 21 yards—the longest of his career—to set up a third score, a 6-yard double reverse in which

he threw the key block.

“We did some good things, but we had a couple of missed field goals, a couple of missed opportunities,” said the 6-foot-5, slimmed-down-to-229-pound Weinke.

“We know we could have gotten more

points but you can’t be disappointed when you win. We know we have some more work to do.”

Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, in gaining career win No. 305, said the offense was inconsistent, but praised the defense, which lost many ofits stars from last season’s title team.

“The game surprised me,” Bowden said. “I thought it would be a high-scoring game since our offense performed so well leading up to the game. Our defense had struggled all preseason, but our defense played just beautifully.”

Anchored by defensive end Jamal Reynolds, who caused a safety and had two sacks, the Seminoles intercepted three passes, recovered a fumble and totaled five sacks against BYU quarterbacks Bret Engemann

and Charlie Peterson.

The Cougars had 79 yards in the first half—minus-13 rushing—and finished with 225 total yards.

“They’re

incredible,”

said

Engemann, who was 12-of-28 for 139 yards and two interceptions. “If they

don’t win the championship again this year, I’ll be surprised.”

Bowden isn’t as confident. He criticized his team’s running game, which produced 57 yards; and his kicker, Matt Munyon, who missed two field goals and an extra point.

“What needs work? Sustaining out block in the running game,” said Bowden. “And the kicking game was what I was afraid it would be.”

But there was Weinke. On his first TD pass, a 19-yarder to Javon Walker just 2:47 into the season, the quarterback was pushed into BYU’s LaVell Edwards on the sideline and the collision sent the 69-year-old coach sprawling. It might have been the hardest hit Weinke took all night at

Alltel Stadium.

BYU was overmatched from the start, unable to keep up with Florida State’s new set of speedy receivers featuring Marvin Minnis, Atrews Bell, Anquan Boldin and Walker. Peter Warrick? Who’s he?

BYU barely extended its NCAA record of scoring in consecutive games to 313 when Owen Pochman kicked a 42-yard field goal with 2:19 left in the third quarter. The Cougars were last shut out in 1975, 20-0 by Arizona State “It was frustrating,” Edwards said.“It was a typical opener. We did some good things. We played hard and well on defense. FSU’s defensive quickness made it difficult for us.”

After a 3-yard TD pass to Bell and a safety made it 15-0, he took off on the longest run of his career. Before the 21yarder, his previous longest run was 8 yards.

He rolled left, saw running room and outlegged several BYU defenders before being chased out of bounds at the 6. On

the next play, a double reverse, he threw the block that freed up Bell for the TD that put the Seminoles in control at 220 early in the second quarter.

BYU, making a rare visit to the East Coast, had little chance against the

Field hockey has yet to thrive in ACC play � The youthful Blue Devils looks to replace the voids left by last year’s graduating class, especially leading scorer Corey Ceccolini.

By NORM BRADLEY The Chronicle

The names have changed this yqar for Duke’s field hockey team, but its goals and

expectations remain high.

Last year’s squad finished 13-8, 1-3 in ACC play. It was good enough to qualify for the NCAA tournament, where the team lost in the first round to Michigan 2-1. But the team was

hit hard by graduation, losing 53 percent of its goals and 43 percent of its points. Still the team is not using its youth as an excuse—the Blue Devils believe they can return to and succeed in the NCAA tournament.

“It’s tough losing six players at a time,” said senior back and co-captain Courtney Sommer.

“But we do have six great players coming in.”

The freshmen—Jessica Fluck, Kim Googola, Claire Rauh, Emily Sinkhorn, Stacey Tsougas and Kim Van Kirk—will be expected to contribute immediately. Their coach, Liz Tchou, believes they are up to the challenge. “[The freshmenl have been

great,” she said. “It’s the most well-rounded class we’ve had, with experience in various positions. They are all fitting right in, and they aren’t intimidated....

There’s always a period of, ‘How are we going to adjust,’ but with the six new freshmen, it is a fresh new team, a fresh new start.”

A challenge unto itself is replacing Corey Ceccolini, who led the team in goals and assists in each of the last two years.

Instead of naming one successor, Tchou plans on evening out the attack among all her forwards—including

Chrissy Ashley, Liz Bateman and Jennelle Moore.

“We have four or five people who can score,” Tchou said.

“They are going to have to worry about all three forwards on the field.”

Sommer agrees that finding a consistent source of offense will be critical.

“All of the forwards are really stepping up, and they are being much more aggressive,” she said.

The team plans to play a more possession-oriented game, with players working the ball for excellent scoring opportunities and second-chance points. Tchou feels that last year’s teams sometimes rushed their shots and did not control the flow of See FIELD HOCKEY on page 21 �

Blue Devil women seek repeat run at NCAAs

By ANDREA BOOKMAN The Chronicle Fourth-year women’s cross country coach Jan Samuelson-Ogilvie is excit-

ed—and with good reason.

She has 30 runners attending the team’s early workouts, 10 of whom are promising freshmen. Her two frontrunners, senior captain Megan Sullivan and sophomore All-American Sheela Agrawal, are back. And three of the other five runners from the team that finished 25th at the NCAA championships also return.

“It’s going to be fun,” SamuelsonOgilvie said. “We’ve come in with a much, much stronger group this year.

We’re very deep.”

They’re also healthy. Sullivan, who ran most of her first three seasons on an injured ankle, had surgery at 6 a.m. the day the team returned from nationals last November. After redshirting the indoor season but running spring track, Sullivan is looking to make her third NCAA Championships.

The senior became the first Duke woman to compete in the cross country national title race in 1998. While the team did not qualify for NCAAs that year, Sullivan traveled to the championship with the men’s team. In 1999, along with then-freshman Sheela Agrawal, Sullivan led her own team to the NCAA championship meet.

There, Agrawal became an AllAmerican, finishing 28th; the top 30 runALIZA GOLDMAN/THE CHRONICLE ners at NCAAs win All-America honors. of the dominant one-two the Blue Devils one most A trio of juniors also remain from Agrawal give and Sheela (left) MEGAN SULLIVAN that squad—Maddy Woodmansee, combinations in the nation.

Annie Wickman, and Katie Atlas.

Wickman underwent knee surgery during the indoor season but is now healthy, and Woodmansee is just getting back to top form after a bout with mononucleosis in March. They will be the leaders this season, making up most of the first team. SamuelsonOgilvie will run a first and a second team this season.

“One weekend we might have one team at Notre Dame and one in Greensboro,” Samuelson-Ogilvie said.

“Most of our freshmen will fall neatly into our second team.” been has Samuelson-Ogilvie impressed with all of the freshmen during the team’s workouts so far. When asked to single some ofthem out, she rattled off a list of names and superlatives.

Laura Schmid from Illinois did not run cross country last year in high school, and she’s been a big surprise to her pleased coach. New York native Allison Hofmann placed second in the Melrose Mile, a huge New York running event. Colleen Howard is Massachusetts’ indoor two-mile champion. And Lisa Nagorny, Pennsylvania’s mile champion, is also a member of the Naval ROTC group.

In the harriers’ first timed efforts of the season, nine freshmen placed among the top-16 finishers.

The freshmen are not the only newcomers to Duke cross country, however. Samuelson-Ogilvie and her husband, Norm, the men’s cross country coach, added assistant coach season.

Jan SamuelsonOgilvie Last year in review:

Finished sth in the ACC Finished 25th at the NCAA Championships

Key returners:

� W. CROSS COUNTRY from page 6 Jermaine formerly ran at Georgetown and also for

the Reebok enclave.

Samuelson-Ogilvie hopes the additions and the veterans will gel to attain many Blue Devil successes. The coach stressed how important the team concept is for cross country.

“Cross country absolutely has to be a team sport,” Samuelson-Ogilvie said. “It’s much more of a team sport than anything in track and field, except for a relay. When runners come in, they add up the finishing places and the low score wins. So when Megan and Sheela come in the top 10, we’re still counting on everyone else. That’s how we won 3rd place at [the Southeast regional championshipsl last year.”

In fact, at those regional championships, Duke was sixth coming into the final 1,000 meters of the

race—everyone’s strong finish was crucial. The Blue Devils’ performance at that meet was what likely garnered enough attention from the NCAA selection committee to merit an at-large tourna-

ment bid.

This season, Duke runners will have to save their strong finishes for several meters; championship races have been lengthened from 5,000 to 6,000 meters.

“In a cross country race, 1,000 meters is not going to make a huge difference,” Ogilvie said. “But we’ve been making our practices a little bit longer and slower to compensate.”

Samuelson-Ogilvie and Agrawal concurred on the team’s goals for the season.

The “No. 1 goal,” as Agrawal explained, is to make it back to the NCAA Championships, held in Ames, lowa this year. Once there, the Blue Devils plan to shoot for the top 15—or the top half of the field.

conference title Back-to-back ACC runner-ups have eye onconsistent performer Charlie Kelly Terry Brennan and Brendan Fitz ibbon will have to com icnsate for the departure of 1999

rnmn’m

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

The Duke cross country team is in the middle of one of its better runs in recent memory.

The Blue Devils are coming off two consecutive runner-up finishes in their conference.

Yet despite this success and having had only one week of practice, Duke is confident that this is its best team in the last three years.

“The big difference between this year’s team and last year’s team is the amount of depth,” coach Norm Ogilvie said.

“We feel that based on our first week of practice we have somewhere between 15 and 16 guys that can get the job done at the ACC level. Last year, we had eight.”

The men’s cross country team lost only two of their top seven runners from the 1999 season—Charlie Kelly, the second man on the team, and Tim Schaefer.

Ogilvie acknowledged that the team will feel the loss resulting from Kelly’s departure.

“We won’t be able to replace him and the leadership he offered,” Ogilvie said. “Four years of experience, you’re not going to be able to replace that.”

But while Duke will feel the loss in the locker room, it may be able to fill in for Kelly on raceday.

Nagel predicts her players will surprise ACC naysayers in 2000

Record at Duke: 13-14 (1 season)

Last year in review; sth place in the ACC 13-14 (7-10 in the ACC) Lost in first round, ACC tournament

BRIAN KANE/THE CHRONICLE

THE BLUE DEVILS were flying high in the second half of conference play last season, when they reversed a dismal start to theirACC schedule by posting impressive wins over GeorgiaTech and North Carolina. � VOLLEYBALL from page 10

“I think we’re going to see some really great things from some people that haven’t had the opportunity to play as much,” Nagel said, “We made a lot of improvement with a lot of peopie over the past nine months and they’re going to finally get to prove it on the court. It’s a big question mark to other people too because they haven’t seen them.”

But perhaps the most important questions are those that Duke must answer to itself, with degrees of uncertainty from both the newcomers to some of the veterans.

“I just think that people don’t realize what we have and they also don’t realize the improvements that we’ve made,” Nagel said. “We’ve got to prove it on the court this year, but I’ll think we’ll surprise some people.”

It all starts with the right training.

THE BLUE DEVILS are made up of 26 of the most talented players tional championship in 2000.

i

The pieces are there. The question surrounding the men’s soccer team is whether it will put together the puzzle.

“We are a team of 26 very talented players and we are trying to play as one unit as much as possible,” said Ali Curtis. “It’s a difficult task when you have 26 players that can basically start at any school in the country.”

Last year, the puzzle seemed entirely pieced together when the Blue Devils raced through the regular season with an undefeated record. But then the one solid unit quickly was shaken into a group ofindividuals.

One year after it was beaten by Jacksonville in the first round, No. 1 Duke lost to Santa Clara in the second round after narrowly escaping a first-round upset. It was the second straight year a stellar campaign finished with a post-season disappointment.

Nine months later, the Blue Devils are still attempting to cope with those demons.

“We’re still stunned at this point,” said Nii-Amar Amamoo.

“Over half a year later, we’re still stunned and we’re still upset. It was the only loss of the whole year and it kind of put a dark shadow over our whole year. That one game tainted the whole season.”

The Blue Devils offer no miracle cure for their post-season woes. Instead, they believe that if they can play to their ability level within the confines of a team, the NCAA tournament will take care of itself.

“This is probably the most individually talented team I’ve played on since I’ve been at Duke,” said Ali Curtis. “This team is as good as any team in the country... I can’t see any other team that’s individually more talented than this team this year. If we are able to come together as a team, I don’t think anyone will be able to stop us.”

Curtis’ confidence is well-founded. The Blue Devils return seven seniors from a team that went undefeated in ACC play for the first time since 1982.

“We’re looking forward to this year,” said John Rennie, who is beginning his 22nd season at the helm of the men’s soccer team.

“It is the kind of year you don’t have often with the seniors and the overall talent level. Last year, we didn’t have this kind of senior leadership.”

The senior leadership in 2000 will come primarily from tri-captains Curtis, Amamoo and Robert Russell.

Curtis, a forward, is the most renowned member of his class.

Last season, he took home the Hermann Trophy as the nation’s top player.

This year, however, Curtis will have the added difficulty of being a marked man. Curtis may be the star, but this team is extremely See MEN’S SOCCER on page 20 �

but they are trying to unite as one team in order to win ana-

It was more than a monthremoved fromDuke’s shocking and heart-breaking defeat at the hands ofSanta Clara in the NCAA tournament. And while an unexpectedly severe snowstorm was icing the concrete walkways of Gothic “Winter” Wonderland, Ah Curtis had to make a choice.

On the one hand, he had a chance to pursue a dream by accepting an offer to play professionally in Major League Soccer. On the other hand, he had the dream of winning a national championship with his friends at Duke.

Yet, for the 1999 national player of the year, it was a third dream which dictated his decision.

“It was a strong consideration about playing professional soccer after first semester, but I wasn’t too keen on the idea because it’s very important for me to get my degree and it’s very important for my parents that I get my degree,” Curtis said. “That’s something that I really wanted to do, and if I left school early, I wouldn’t be able to do that.”

Despite constant speculation by the media that Curtis’ playing days at Duke were over, the senior tri-captain basically knew how he would respond to MLS offers.

The degree wouldn’t be there, his Blue Devil teammates wouldn’t be there and, as it turned out, the money wouldn’t even be there. Far from the six-to-seven figure salaries that top professionals in Europe command, the MLS submitted contract offers that ranged annually from roughly $25,000 to $30,000.

“He comes from a well-educated, highly disciplined, devoutly religious family that didn’t want to hear about him leaving early, especially for less money than we’re giving him,” Duke men’s soccer coach John Rennie said.

“Twenty-five to 30 thousand isn’t even what it costs for a scholarship at Duke.”

Not surprisingly, Curtis’ return to the college ranks and imminent surpassing of Duke’s all-time scoring leader Tom Kain have opposing defenses scheming for ways to shut him down. At least that way if they get burned, it won’t be by the man who tied a school record with 17 goals in a single season.

Even though the Blue Devils boast numerous weapons on offense, Curtis’ own teammates have conceded that he will be the “marked man” throughout the season.

If opposing defenses do somehow manage to halt one of the most lightning-quick forwards in college soccer, Curtis is confident his teammates will teach them a lesson.

fm M corti fe

©rtB3®all Qpftstss

“I really don’t think about [being a marked man] that much because we have so many threats on this team that I think it’s impossible for teams to just focus on one problem,” he said.

For their part, Curtis’ teammates certainly aren’t worried. After struggling without their star during his injury-riddled 1998 season, they know what a difference he can make just by being in the lineup.

“Ali is probably one of the best players, if not the best player in the country,” tri-captain Nii-AmarAmamoo said.

But as Curtis gears up for what he hopes will be a run for the NCAA title, he still dreams of playing professionally overseas.

He says he still makes mistakes and he has plenty to work on before then. Perhaps that’s true, but even so, it doesn’t take too much imagination to envision the flamboyant Blue Devil one day performing backflips and somersaults with the best of the European football players.

“After Duke soccer is all said and done, I’d love to play in Europe,” he said. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid.”

Blue Devil veterans inspire coach with work ethic WOMEN’S SOCCER from page 3

the midfield (especially in Truman’s absence). And Thora Helgadottir, a goalkeeper from Kopavogur, Iceland who represented her country as a member ofits national soccer team, could also be valuable, especially if goalkeepers Isis Dallis and Tara Walker have difficulty recovering from their offseason injuries.

Like their freshman teammates, the veteran Blue Devils are also enthusiastic about the start of the season. Highsmith is especially excited about her role on the team this year, as she is the lone senior captain who is currently capable of playing. She understands the responsibility that she must undertake, both as an on-the-field leader and as an offensive contributor.

“IVe had to become more vocal as a leader than I have been, because in the past, I’ve been more of a leader by example,” Highsmith said. “Also, I’m going to have to score a little bit more than I have in the past.

I’m looking forward to it.”

Another player who has taken more of a leadership role is redshirt sophomore Alison Sanders, who has spent the past two seasons on the sidelines with injuries. Now at full strength, Sanders has been playing well in the preseason and more importantly, has provided an inspirational example of work ethic that Hempen likes.

“If there is an emotional leader, it is [Sanders!

Hempen said. “Of course, with what she’s gone through and to come back and play at the level she’s playing is [remarkable].”

And Hempen is not the only one singing Sanders’ praises. Her teammates have noticed her efforts as well. “[Sanders] is an amazing player and an amazing goal-scorer,” Truman said. “Her work ethic and her dedication to get back has pushed everyone else

around her.”

And if Sanders and her teammates maintain this work ethic and steer clear of the injury problems that have beleaguered them in the past, the Blue Devils

However, the Blue Devils have in mind even higher standards to achieve.

‘There’s no doubt in my mind that we can win every game we play,” Truman said. “Everyone wants to achieve their maximum potential.”

Blue Devils determined to harness crucial automatic bid �

MEN’S X-COUNTRY from page 8

forced to rely on receiving one of the 13 at-large bids handed out by the selection committee.

In the past several years, the Blue Devils lacked the strength of schedule possessed by some of their competition and were left out of the big dance.

This is a result Duke does not intend to repeat.

The first way to avoid being left out is to lock-up

an automatic bid.

To do so, the top three will have to have stronger races than last season.

Last year at the Southeast regional, the Blue Devils lacked a finisher in the top 10.

“Terry, Brendan and Sean are all capable of being our No. 1 guy this year,” Ogilvie said.

“I think all three of those guys have the ability to get into the top 10 at the Southeast regional. If we can get two of them in the top 10, that should give us an automatic berth.”

If Duke fails to secure the automatic birth, Ogilvie believes that a stronger schedule this season should help seal a bid.

“We changed the schedule,” Ogilvie said. “We have as tough of a schedule as any team in the country. That should guarantee us a trip to nationals if we perform.”

Although the Blue Devils’ primary concern is to return to the NCAAs after a one-season absence, they are also focused on repeating their second-place finish in the conference.

This goal appears reachable. In addition to its top three, Duke returns junior Jay Champi and senior Mike McKeever from last season’s top seven.

The Blue Devils also bring in highly touted recruit Chris Williams, who won three consecutive Kansas high school cross country championships.

“We would think N.C. State would be the favorite this year, they finished third in the NCAAs,” Ogilvie said.

“But we’re not conceding anything to anyone else ALIZA GOLDMAN/THE CHRONICLE in the conference. We think a third-straight runnerTHE BLUE DEVILS have a leg up on everyone in the conference, except of course for nemesis N.C. State, which placed third at the up finish is within our grasp.”

Agrawal has set a top-15 team finish as goal No. 1 p AGRAWAL from page 17

World

Junior Cross Country championships and finished 61st there.”

The United States team finished sixth in those world championships, held in March in Villanoura, Portugal. Agrawal was the fourth

American finisher in the 19-andunder division.

All of these successes for Agrawal came sandwiched between indoor track meets in the winter and races held during the spring.

During the indoor season, she won

her second ACC rookie of the year honor and anchored the ACC champion distance medley team that also broke conference and school records with a time of 11:33.72. In the spring, Agrawal performed well at the Penn Relays, finishing 10th in the 3000meter race and 7th anchoring the distance medley team.

And just for good measure, she made it a habit to break her own school record for the indoor mile.

She’ll likely break it again during the indoor season, but the record now stands at 4:45.58, which Agrawal set at the ECAC Invitational last spring in early March, Agrawal’s goals for herself are high

But the unassuming star is just about as likely to talk about her athletic achievements as she is to be beaten by a tortoise in her next race.

When asked about individual goals, Agrawal first addressed the team’s goals to make NCAAs again and finish in the top 15. She then giggled, as if a bit uneasy to talk about herself.

“Individually, I’d also like to do well,” Agrawal said. “We’ll have to see how my workouts go. I would like to be up in contention —maybe not for the top three spots. I’m not sure if I’m ready for that yet, but I’d like to be up there with the other top runners. I’d like to have some of my teammates up there too.”

This team has a lot more talent and a lot more experience.”

The Blue Devils only had two seniors last season, but one of the losses was considered problematic. Troy Garner, the ACC tournament MVP, took a great deal of the scoring pressure off Curtis last season. Some predicted that his departure would result in a drop in Curtis’ production as opposing defenses had one primary focus.

Rennie appears to have found a solution for that problem. The

“We replaced [Gamer] with, I think, one of the best freshmen in the country,” Rennie said. “He’s a very calm, experienced, poised kid on the field.”

Gila’s experience comes as no surprise considering he played for the under-17 U.S. national team and currently plays for the under-20 national team with Perea.

“By international and playing experience factors, he is not

a freshman,” Rennie said.

Curtis was quick to add that even without Cila, the Blue Devils are far too good for opponents to focus entirely on him.

“We have a lot of talented players,” he said. “If a team wants to focus on me they’ll get

severely punished.”

Th e Blue Devils clearly have confidence in themselves. They believe that this team is good enough to repeat the ACC sweep. More importantly, they believe this team is good enough to bring home the NCAA title, “We have seven seniors,” said Russell. “It’s our last year, there is no other option.”

The team had one preseason tune-up, routing Davidson 12-1. Tchou said she was pleased with the offensive intensity, especially in the second half.

However, it may be difficult for the team to improve in the difficult five-team ACC. Last year, Duke finished last in the conference, and the team hasn’t had a .500 record in-conference since 1992. Tchou lists reaching the top three in the ACC as a primary goal.
