WASHINGTON Concern about biological terrorism heightened Wednesday as preliminary tests showed that more than 30 workers on Capitol Hill were exposed to anthrax spores from the contaminated letter sent to the office of the Senate majority leader. Officials also disclosed that early testing has shown that the anthrax samples found in media offices in New York and Florida were of the same strain.

While there was no evidence that anyone has yet been infected with what Attorney General John Ashcroft called a “virulent, strong, very serious” form of powdery anthrax that was found in a letter Monday in the office of Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., word that more than half the workers in his suite were exposed prompted the closure of all six House and Senate office buildings for further screening.

As discussions continue about the creation of a permanent multicultural center on campus, administrators have decided to rearrange some current space to fill needs in the meantime.

Planning is currently underway to renovate the space now held by the Craft Center on the bottom floor of the Bryan Center. The work is expected to take place over winter break, with student cultural groups having access to the space as early as spring 2002 for meetings, programming and as a lounge area.

“It’s really a great space for what we want to do,” said Julian Sanchez, director ofthe Office ofIntercultural Affairs. “One part of it creates a resource center with book collections and a multipurpose space for meeting, and another portion See CENTER on page 7

New parking, transportation director plans changes

Reeve said her office will raise parking permit prices to help pay for the new garage and other improvements

By VICTORIA KAPLAN The Chronicle

Only a month after airiving at the University, Cathy Reeve, director of parking and transportation services, has already begun plans for the future ofparking—plans that will significantly raise permit prices next year.

Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni said he and Reeve hope to outline a preliminary business plan by Dec. 1. That plan will build upon last year’s report from outside parking consultant Barbara Chance.

Citing the cost of the upcoming parking garage behind the Bryan Center and other additional parking and transportation improvements, Reeve said the price of a current $B5 spot could increase to as much as $2lO. She expects to implement the change either next year or gradually over the course ofseveral years.

She said the pricing will reflect the proximities ofthe parking lots to the campus locations they serve, a change from the past, when officials considered factors like the presence of a gate.

“We want to establish equity in how we charge for parking.

There are a number of examples where people don’t pay for parking,” Reeve said.

Despite the price increase, Reeve hopes to provide less expensive parking options for students, faculty and employees by creating a low-cost park-and-ride lot and implementing a carpool and vanpool incentive program. Participants would receive significantly reduced or no-cost parking.

Matt Slovik, Duke Student Government vice president for facilities and athletics, said he anticipates some student opposition to the price increase.

“Students are already paying a lot of money for various parts of student life,” Slovik said. “However, if there is a very viable reason for doing it, as pertaining to the master plan that Cathy is See PARKING on page

Anthrax drug poses hazards to its users Frightened Americans are rushing to buy Cipro, the bestknown treatment for anthrax, when cheaper, more powerful alternatives exist, said doctors. Patients are so insistent on Cipro, physicians joke that the antibiotic has become an anti-anxiety medication more than anything.

Cipro, they point out, has drawbacks. Adults can safely take it, but there has been limited study of Cipro in children.

Administrators hope to improve group advising

� The Office of University Life and Duke Student Government are encouraging advisers to take a more active role.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle On paper, being a faculty adviser for one of the more than 125 recognized student groups on campus may be the easiest job at the University; As soon as the responsibilities of the position begin, they also immediately end.

Historically, the official role of faculty advisers has been limited to simply signing a club’s application for chartership or recognition from Duke Student Government. Once the adviser’s John Hancock is on paper, involvement with the group becomes completely voluntary.

The Office of University Life and DSG, however, are trying to encourage advisers to take on a more active role.

“We’ve been looking at the advising system for a couple years, and specifically how to better it,” said Brian Denton, assistant dean of University life and coordinator ofadvising. “Signing that line is all the adviser has had to do.”

Often faculty members have the willingness to work with a student group, but not necessarily the time, said junior Vinny Eng, chair of the Student Organization Finance Committee, which funds and works with DSG-recognized groups.

“Groups usually are able to seek out an adviser, but advisers who have a lot of time to devote are more difficult to find because they’re full-time faculty and have so many other responsibilities,” Eng said. “It’s hard to get the student group’s schedule and the faculty member’s schedule to overlap.”

Denton said that in the past, some of the largest groups on campus—like the Black Student Affiance and Diya—have had excellent support from their faculty advisers. The goal now is to bring the level of involvement ofadvisers for smaller groups to an equally high level.

“We want advisers to begin having consistent contact with officers, to help main-

That’s going to be our first step, but that will be a major improvement,” Denton said.

The Office of University Life sent out letters to advisers at the beginning ofthe year outlining these new initiatives, and also invited them to an informal meeting

to discuss the changes.

Engineering course evaluation data remains offline

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

As Trinity students begin to register for spring classes on ACES Web, they will be able to look at how other students ranked some courses and professors.

Engineering students, however, who comprise more than one-eighth of the undergraduate body, will not share in such access.

Phil Jones, senior associate dean for education at the Pratt School of Engineering, said the engineering school has no immediate plans to join the Arts and Sciences Council’s initiative.

“We have a standard form, although I don’t think all departments use it,” he

said. “They are handed out at the end of not been raised at the council’s two prethe semester and different departments vious meetings.

to pursue it].”

Franzoni noted that Duke Student Government was a major impetus for Trinity College course evaluations, but that Engineering Student Government had not raised the issue at Pratt.

John Cooper, president of ESG, said he previously thought the evaluation system adopted by Arts and Sciences would be University-wide. He added that he would raise the issue at the next ESG meeting.

“If Arts and Sciences is doing that, there’s no reason Engineering should not,” he said. “If [course evaluations are] not getting back to the students, that’s something we need to address.”

By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

Special operaWASHINGTON tions troops capable of clandestine warfare are poised aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean, ready to launch search-and-destroy missions against the terrorists in Afghanistan and their Taliban supporters, military officials said

Wednesday.

In another new twist, Air Force F-15E fighter-bombers flew attack missions in Afghanistan Wednesday for the first time since the air campaign began, another defense official said.

Several F-15Es flew from a base in the Persian Gulf area, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The official did not know the F-15Es’ targets.

Previously the only land-based aircraft flying combat missions in Afghanistan had been Air Force B-2, B-1B and B-52 long-range bombers.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that the military portion of America’s response would rely heavily on special operations forces. He and other U.S. officials have refused to discuss details, including timing.

Several days before the United States and Britain began airstrikes in

Smc£

Afghanistan on Oct. 7, a top administration official said some U.S. special operations troops had slipped in to conduct scouting missions.

While U.S. warplanes have struck targets across Afghanistan for 11 straight days, there have been indications that preparations for using Army or Air Force special operations forces are moving ahead.

Helicopter-borne special operations forces were put aboard the USS Kitty Hawk in the Indian Ocean several days ago, said officials, speaking on condition of anonymity. When the Kitty Hawk left its home port in Japan on Oct. 1, U.S. officials said it left a portion of its air wing behind. They said this indicated that the carrier might be used as a base for special op-

erations troops.

The officials speaking Wednesday, who offered no details on the mission, cautioned against the interpretation that the troops now aboard the Kitty Hawk were necessarily about to enter combat.

President George W. Bush, traveling to a conference in China, said the war on terrorism may take a long time.

“You mark my words: People are going to get tired of the war on terrorism. And by the way, it may take more than two years,” he said in an interview with Asian news editors.

As a result, one senior official wondered aloud if Powell was saying one thing in Pakistan and another in India.

The Indian government made clear that any US. reward to Pakistan for its help in the campaign against terrorism in Afghanistan should not includes sales of arms.

“Any military hardware sold to Pakistan has been used against us,” said one senior official. “We have cautioned Secretary Powell. He took note of it.”

The attacks of Sept. 11 have brought profound strategic changes in America’s approach to this region, where India and Pakistan, two countries that have tested nuclear weapons, confront each other over Kashmir. The administration, in Pakistan’s debt for assistance in

Afghanistan, is striving not to antagonize India.

Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, who met with Powell Wednesday morning, told him that, despite Kashmir, India was determined to find away to come to terms with its Western neighbor, an objective that has become more urgent since both powers set off a cascade of nuclear weapons tests in early 1998.

In an allusion to America’s shifting alliances in South Asia since the end of the Cold War, Vajpayee was reported as saying that, “You can change friends but you can’t change neighbors, and we can certainly not alter geography, and Pakistan, with India, has to learn how to live to-

gether as good neighbors.”

This observation was attributed to the prime minister by the foreign minister, Singh, who appeared with Powell at a news conference.

Better antibiotics go unnoticed due to focus on Cipro !� CIPRO from page 2

antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Levaquin requires a single daily dose while patients need two Cipro doses per day. And levaquin offers broader protection against bacteria. So why the Cipro craze?

“The press. That’s why everyone wants Cipro,” said Zane.

Nonstop media coverage of the anthrax threats that mention Cipro carry the potency of a major ad campaign, said doctors. Many people refuse levaquin or two similarly effective fluoroquinolones, insisting on Cipro, said physicians in Florida, New York, and Washington, where many people have asked for protection from local outbreaks. But Zane says he believes he can change minds.

“If I say to them [levaquin] is stronger and you have to take it only once a day, I think they’ll agree,” he said.

Typically, Cipro treats urinary tract infections. Often it forms the last line of defense against virulent bloodborne infections and pneumonia, in large part because its molecular design makes it difficult, though not impossible, for bacteria to build up resisi ance to it.

Some scientists fear that the run on Cipro will compromise its effectiveness for these other conditions as dif-

ferent kinds of infectious bacteria become resistant to it.

Never before have so many people stockpiled a drug with so little guidance from doctors, observe infectious disease specialists.

“We don’t need this kind of evolutionary experiment in action,” said Levy.

In July 2000, Cipro became the federal government’s drug of choice to treat people exposed to aerosolized or sprayed anthrax. Other drugs can treat anthrax, including garden-variety penicillins and tetracyclines. In fact,

penicillin has been effective on the strains of anthrax discovered in New York and Florida.

But the federal government, at the military’s prodding, picked Cipro because intelligence reports indicated Soviet scientists created penicillin-resistant strains of anthrax in the 19705. Even so, other fluoroquinolones, like levaquin, would work.

Like most drugs, Cipro has side effects: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, rash, and restlessness.

But doctors say it is safe, barely riskier than penicillin for adults.

However, Cipro has never been tested in anthrax-exposed humans, only infected rhesus monkeys, so its ef-

fectiveness is not a sure thing. Human tests, however, are ethically out of the question, said researchers.

And while Cipro is not approved for use in children, the federal Centers for Disease Control said it should be used in cases of anthrax exposure. A 7-month-old New York infant became ill with the less-dangerous skin anthrax earlier this week and is taking Cipro.

The antibiotic may, according to animal studies, cause side effects in some children, including joint or cartilage damage and walking difficulties. Physicians will often seek other antibiotics if possible.

However, some doctors still prescribe the drug-for children with nasty infections that other antibiotics cannot kill.

Young cystic fibrosis patients, for instance, are often prescribed the drug.

With children, a balanced approach to Cipro must be used, said doctors.

Under normal circumstances, “One wouldn’t use [Cipro] because there is a reasonable alternative,” said Dr. Stephen Calderwood, chief of infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital. “But in the setting of a major bioterrorist event,” it might be preferable.

Cultural groups have been trying for years to find more social and activity space on campus, and several reports have echoed that effort. The latest report was issued in May by the Cultural Space Committee, which recommended a permanent multicultural center and an expansion of the Mary Lou Williams Center.

Sanchez and several student leaders expressed confidence that the interim space is a productive step toward the establishment of a more permanent center. The decision to create the interim space was made by Larry Moneta, vice president for student af-

fairs. In May, the Board ofTrustees granted him the authority to allocate all student residential and social space.

“I hope it will just be another welcoming, wonderful hangout,” Moneta said. “I hope that it both serves as a place to hang out, with a multicultural atmosphere and resources, but also a place where a student group could hold a meeting, or where a display of cultural arts could occur.”

Long-term plans for a multicultural center and the Mary Lou Williams Center will have to wait until the construction of the new building and parking garage next to the Bryan Center, Moneta added.

Exact statistics on use ofthe Craft Center are not available, but “the numbers are fair-

ly low” said Brady Beecham, president ofthe Duke University Union, which oversees the Craft Center and advises the University on Bryan Center use. She noted that the center is currently split between two locations in the Bryan Center and Southgate Dormitory, and that the move out of the Bryan Center will help coordinate the program.

“We really hope that this will be an opportunity to consolidate them into one location,” Beecham said. “The Craft Center has fairly low visibility right now, and by running two different locations you need to have two sets of work-study students and two different administrative systems.”

Beecham and others said that the Craft Center space will work well as a meeting point for all students, especially members of cultural groups.

“It will be pretty visible because it’s all clear glass,” said senior Sean Young, a member of the Cultural Space Committee.

“The disadvantage is that it’s still in a corner-type location, but I think that is more than made up for by the large area. The other option is taking the existing cultural offices, but that location, even though it’s on the top floor ofthe Bryan Center, is even less visible than the Craft Center.”

Troy Clair, a junior and president of the Black Student Alliance, also served on the space committee last year, and said that the interim space speaks to the needs described in the report.

“It’ll have some presence in the Bryan Center and really start to act on some of the recommendations of the cultural space report,” Clair said. “Fm definitely happy that we’re doing something now and that this generation of students will be able to see something in the form of a multiculTHE CRAFT CENTER, housed in the Bryan Center, will soon be renovated and converted into a tural center.” temporary multicultural center.

Health secretary requests U.S. issues Taliban warnings smallpox vaccine stockpile through radio in Afghanistan � ANTHRAX from page I Investigators said it was still unclear

who might have mailed the anthraxlaced letters, or whether they all came from the same source, but they have already concluded that the letter to Daschle appears to match the one sent to the NBC News anchorman Tom Brokaw in New York. And after preliminary testing, Dr. David Fleming of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention said, “the strain in New York appears to match the strain in Florida,” that resulted in the only death so far in the case, an editor at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton, Experts said the preliminary matching of the strains supported the possibility that the anthrax came from the same source, since scientists have identified about 1,200 individual strains of the bacteria. However, matching of the strains is not definitive proof that the same person sent the material.

New York was the scene of another scare Wednesday as Gov. George Pataki and his staff evacuated their midtown Manhattan offices after a small amount of anthrax spores were found there. Although officials do not know the source, Bernard Kerik, the city police commissioner, suggested that state police may have inadvertently carried anthrax spores after escorting Pataki the governor to news offices where the bacteria has been found or was suspected to be present.

In a further sign that the federal government was moving to a state of high alert against further bioterrorism, the secretary of health and human services, Tommy Thompson, asked Congress for money to stockpile 300 million doses of

smallpox vaccine, enough to inoculate

every citizen if necessary. And the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of two alternate antibiotics, besides the patented Cipro, to treat anthrax.

But officials also took pains to avoid prompting panic, with Daschle and gov-

ernment doctors emphasizing that tests showed the anthrax strains identified so

far were treatable by all antibiotics.

While House Speaker Dennis Hastert said his members would not meet in the chamber in the Capitol until Tuesday, the Senate vowed to keep meeting and cast votes Thursday, even as aides scattered from their adjoining office complexes.

Congressional aides said President George W. Bush had encouraged them to close shop, but he left the country bound for an economic summit in China with only a brief mention of the concern in Washington. He told an audience of California business leaders Wednesday afternoon, “We’re responding rapidly to investigate anthrax reports and to quickly give preventative treatment to any who are exposed.”

FBI and postal investigators concentrated on the Trenton, N.J., area, where the letters to NBC and to Daschle were postmarked on identical prepaid envelopes. Forensic experts examined the handwriting on the two letters and experts in ink and paper analyzed makeup of the letters themselves.

Other investigators fanned out to other cities reviewing earlier cases of an-

thrax threats for similarities the recent threats. Agents interviewed officials at private and public research labs searching for possible suspects. Senior law enforcement officials said that they had “substantive leads” in the case, but they said they had no significant breakthroughs in the case Wednesday.

One law enforcement officials said that while the strain of anthrax found in Florida appeared to match that sent to NBC, those samples were grainier than the very fine powder form in which the anthrax was sent to Daschle.

Government officials and lawmakers spoke in dissonant, sometimes confusing voices Wednesday about the seriousness ofthe threatposed by the anthrax sent to Daschle. Some, like Daschle and Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a physician, seemed to play down the danger, pointing to preliminary scientific findings that it had not been engineered to make it resistant to antibiotics, for example.

� SPECIAL OPERATIONS from page 5

U.S. military radio broadcasts into Afghanistan by Air Force EC-130E Commando Solo aircraft are warning the ruling Taliban they will be destroyed not only by U.S. bombs and missiles but also by American helicopters and ground troops.

“Our helicopters will rain fire down upon your camps before you detect them on radar,” one message says in two of the local Afghan languages, according to transcripts provided by the Pentagon.

“Our bombs are so accurate we can drop them right through your windows. Our infantry is trained for any climate and terrain on earth. United States soldiers fire with superior marksmanship and are armed with superior weapons,” the message says.

The Pentagon has not acknowledged the presence of any US. ground forces in Afghanistan. Officials have said for weeks that troops would be needed to root out leaders of bin Laden’s al-Qaida network.

Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem, deputy director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that the Taliban’s air defenses are now so weak that US. strike aircraft are attacking with impunity.

With less concern about surface-toair missiles, US. pilots are being directed to areas where US. war planners believe tanks and other mobile

The William

&

targets as well as newly discovered fixed targets such as ammunition warehouses are most likely to be found Airborne forward air controllers are verifying these targets and calling in strikes by Navy warplanes, Stuffle-

beem said.

The admiral said this did not mean there are “free fire” zones over Afghanistan where pilots may shoot at any military target they see.

Pilots must get clearance from the forward air controller before attacking, he said.

U.S. commanders now believe Taliban air defenses have been neutralized, Stufflebeem said.

“I have not seen any reports that they are returning fire on our aircraft,” he said. “Their ability to respond is falling away.”

Stufflebeem described the strategy of the air campaign as forcing the Taliban to collapse from within.

“We are systemically pulling away at those legs underneath the stool that the Taliban leadership counts on to be able to exert their influence and power,” he said.

Tuesday’s attacks were carried out by 85 carrier-based strike aircraft such as F-14s and F/A-18s; five landbased bombers such as B-lßs and B-525; and fewer than five AC-130 gunships, used in Afghanistan for the first time Monday.

gramming throughout the year, a hands-on adviser is an invaluable resource, Denton said.

“I think it is ideal when you can have some really meaningful interaction with the group members,” said Barbara Dickinson, an associate professor ofthe practice of dance and the adviser for the Chinese Folk Dance Club. Dickinson said that in her first several years as adviser, she attended only several of the group’s rehearsals and performances.

“I finally said I wanted to know who they were and what they were doing,” she said. Already this year, Dickinson has attended the group’s first meeting and is working to help the club apply for cultural group funds for five proposed workshops, in one of which she will participate.

Student leaders of the larger campus groups understand the importance of an adviser who is involved on more than a nominal basis.

Diya co-president and senior Sreelata Kintala said her club’s adviser, Mekhala Natavar, conies to all of Diya’s general meetings and helps organize the annual Awaaz, a traditional South Asian show formerly known as Diwali.

Natavar, an assistant professor of the practice in the Asian and African Languages and Literature department, also provides guidance for the group.

Participants in the sessions will receive two continuing education units and will be able to take part in the school’s 75th anniversary events Nov. 10.

Reeve and Pietrantoni cited the need to standardize and maintain facilities and bring the parking and transportation system up to speed technologically as reasons for the price increase. They hope to pave gravel lots, improve handicap accessibility, develop a stronger bicycle program and update and expand the department’s web site

Also, the office has ordered seven new buses, including two fuel-efficient hybrid Toyota Priuses. Six of them will replace old buses, and one will be added to the Science Drive circuit. Reeve mentioned the possibility of eventually equipping all buses with Global Positioning System technology.

In addition, Reeve’s office will shoulder a large portion of the cost of the new

Biyan Center parking garage, approved Oct. 5 by the Board of Trustees. Pietrantoni said the office will need financial help from the University to pay the estimated $l2 million to $lB million price tag. Reeve said Parking and Transportation Services usually brings in about $1.3 million in revenue from parking permits each year and that the remainder of the office’s budget comes from parking fines and lot fees.

The garage, which will create 700 to 800 new parking spots, will be monitored by a parking attendant, Reeve said.

Installing several new bus shelters while making the style of existing ones uniform is also on Reeve’s agenda. By the end of the summer, she hopes to place new shelters on Alexander Avenue and at the intersections of Swift Avenue and Campus Drive and at the crossing of Swift and Hull Avenue.

Pietrantoni also stressed improving lot security by equipping all parking lots with DukeCard-accessed gates, cameras and proper lighting.

In order to streamline the organization ofher office, Reeve will hire two new staff members: a director of communications and marketing and a director of planning. The former will oversee website development and special events coordination, while the latter will assist with physical development, as well as traffic reduction. “We’re way behind on our goal to reduce trips to campus,” Reeve said.

Reeve is also beginning to assemble a new advisory committee for parking and transportation, which will have a student subgroup. The student committee will include members of the Duke Student Government, the Graduate and Professional Student Council, as well as residential and commuter students.

Blue Devils beat Fighting Camels on OT goal

By ASSAAD NASR The Chronicle

Duke 2 Despite last night’s men’s soccer match with Campbell 1 being sandwiched between Campbell two conference games, the Blue Devils (7-5) did not overlook the Fighting Camels (2-8-1), defeating them 2-1 in overtime at the Fakes Athletic Complex in Buies Creek, N.C. Sophomore forward Jordan Cila ended the 1-1 deadlock in the 100th minute by scoring his team-leading seventh goal of the season. After receiving a pass from senior midfielder Noah Lewkowitz in the box, Cila faked out Campbell keeper Billy Englishby, who dove the wrong way, and simply slotted a shot inside the right post.

“It was a tense game that could have gone either way,” Duke coach John Rennie said.

“And we found away to win against a team that was on a mission backed by a good, hostile crowd in a tough environment to play in.”

Mark Mattem opened the scoring for the Blue Devils in the 28th minute. The junior defender headed a cross from junior midfielder Trevor Perea into the back of the Campbell net. It was Mattem’s first goal of the season.

The Duke lead lasted until the 59th minute, when Campbell sophomore Shea Geyer struck the equalizer into the Duke goal. Geyer received a squaring pass from Dan Johansen, who was on the right flank, and hit a left-footed shot inside the right post for his second goal of the year.

The teams’ defenses then took over the game, making spectacular plays to keep both schools near victory. In the 78th minute, Fighting Camel sweeper Steve Hollinger headed sophomore midfielder Justin Bodiya’s shot off the Campbell goal line. On

the Duke side, freshman keeper Justin Trowbridge snatched victory away from the Fighting Camels during the overtime period by diving to his right to clear Jason Kirk’s drive past his right post.

Duke recorded its third win in a row, while the Fighting Camels dropped their thirdstraight match. In what was Duke’s fourth overtime game of the season, the young Blue Devils improved their record during overtime games to 1-3 and showed that they are starting to gain experience and resiliency.

“This is the kind of game early in the year that we probably would have lost,” Rennie said. “We lost some games early that we thought we might have been able to win. But we are making progress from where we’ve been and that’s what we are looking for.”

After last night’s challenging non-conference game, the Blue Devils return home to face bitter ACC rival Virginia Saturday night at Koskinen Stadium. Although Rennie knows that the Cavaliers pose a major challenge for his squad, he is optimistic that the Blue Devils will respond with a strong game, as they have all season.

“These are the kinds of games you come to Duke to play,” Rennie said. “Everyone on both teams always gives their best effort. It will take a great effort on our part to come out on top, but it’s a game we always look forward to playing.”

Anderson from Northwestern, whose numbers are not as good.

Anderson has gained 543 yards averaging 4.45 yards per carry.

Perry said that the lack of attention is not a problem.

“It doesn’t matter as long as we’re winning games,” he said.

“You can lose games and have all the stats in the world, and it means nothing. If we’re winning, that’s what matters.”

Perry’s durability is particularly impressive given his stature.

At 5-foot 9 and 190 pounds, he is by no means small, but he lacks the size of backs such as the 6-1, 210 pound Foster.

However, Perry makes up for his size with his impressive speed. He has run the 100 meter dash in a blistering 10.4 seconds.

“I model myself on Warrick Dunn’s style,” Perry said. “He’s a speed, slasher type guy. That’s what I try to be. But I’m able to lower the boom unexpectedly when I have to.”

The combination of slashing and speed has led Perry to a conference-leading 145 yards rushing per game this season, as well as seven rushing touchdowns.

It has also turned him into an outside candidate for the Heisman Trophy.

“I try to stay away from that subject,” he said. “That Heisman talk is just a big distraction. It would be nice if I got it, but-right now Fm just focused on winning.”

This week that focus turns on the Blue Devils. It figures to be a big week for Perry. Duke is last in the conference, giving up 214.8 yards rushing per game.

However, Maryland also has to deal with the problems brought on by its success.

At 6-0, the Terrapins are primed for a shot at a major bowl, a conference title, and if they win out, possibly a shot a a BCS bid.

With a game in Doak Campbell stadium against Florida State following the Duke game, Maryland will have to work to keep focus on the Blue Devils.

“We see all these games coming up as money games,” Perry said. “These are games we have to win. I really think that every game is just as important, whether it be Duke or Miami. We’re not overlooking anybody. We’re putting in a good week of preparation, and I’ll be ready to get the ball on Saturday.”

After Duke, Maryland faces No. 21 FSU, the newly dangerous Troy State, No. 13 Clemson and N.C. State.

Perry remains confident despite this difficult finish to the season.

“Of course we can win them all,” he said. “Why would I say anything else? [Whether we get a shot at the national championship], that’s up to the politicians.”

that have become staples Mariners 2 of their October success, the New York Yankees were charged up from the get-go.

And that meant real trouble for the Seattle Mariners.

Andy Pettitte pitched eight sharp innings, Paul O’Neill homered and the three-time defending World Series winners opened the AL championship series with a 4-2 victory Wednesday that was not nearly as close as the scoreboard showed.

‘We’re used to playing big games,” O’Neill said. ‘We’ve got jitters and nerves like everybody else. But when we

take the field, we’ve been successful.”

The Mariners scored one run off Mariano Rivera in the ninth, bringing up Edgar Martinez—the tying run. But Rivera broke Martinez’s bat on a game-ending groundout.

The Yankees, meanwhile, were ready from the first pitch—even before it.

While the Mariners were still in the dugout preparing to take the field, Chuck Knoblauch and Derek Jeter already had sprung to the on-deck circle.

Swinging their bats and studying Seattle starter Aaron Sele, they even nodded at each other, confident.

Knoblauch singled on the first pitch and Jeter followed with a long fly that had the sellout crowd of 47,644 at Safeco Field groaning. The ball was caught, but it was clear—the Yankees were on their way.

Taking advantage of plate umpire Ed Montague’s tight strike zone, the Yankees worked the count all afternoon. The slumping O’Neill hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning on Sele’s 66th pitch.

Jeter didn’t do much, other than hit the dirt on a high-and-tight fastball from Sele, but the Yankees didn’t need him a lot on this day.

“I told the coaches, ‘Let’s get Javy in there,”’ Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said. “‘He might hit a home run, produce some runs,’ and that’s exactly what he did.”

The best-of-seven series is tied at 1-1 and shifts to Atlanta for Game 3 Friday night.

After Tom Glavine shut down Arizona for seven innings, the Braves turned the game into a rout with five runs off of a parade of old-timers out of the Diamondbacks bullpen.

Brian Jordan doubled in two runs off 42-year-old Mike Morgan, B. J. Surhoff hit a two-run homer off 36year-old Greg Swindell and Key Sanchez singled in a run off 37-year-old Bobby Witt, Before that, it was just the sort of low-scoring pitcher’s duel that has been the norm for both teams.

Glavine allowed one run and five hits to improve to 2-0 in this year’s playoffs. He struck out two and walked two before giving way to Steve Karsay. As usual, Glavine’s biggest weapon was his control, as he baffled the Diamondbacks into harmless groundouts and fly balls.

Arizona manager Bob Brenly marveled at the way Glavine was able to tailor his pitches so the batters would be likely to hit where the defense was playing.

NLCS from page 13

“Tom Glavine was every bit as spectacular in his own right as Randy, Johnson was, if you ask me,” Brenly said. “He pitched right to the strength of his defense. That’s pretty crafty.”

Glavine tied teammate John Smoltz’s major league record with his 12th postseason victory. Glavine also has 12 postseason losses, tied with teammate Greg Maddux for the most ever.

The victory was crucial for an Atlanta team that didn’t want to go home 0-2 and face Curt Schilling in Game 3.

“I always feel like Game 2 is an urgent game in any series. To me it’s a huge swing game,” Glavine said. “You can either go up two, down two or tie things up. Any of those is vastly different than the other. In this instance, it’s probably magnified. We certainly didn’t want to go home down 2-0 with the prospect of facing Curt.”

Arizona starter Miguel Batista allowed only two hits in seven innings, but both were homers and that was all

the support Glavine needed in his 29th postseason start. Batista struck out three and walked two.

Brenly had skipped the pregame news conference because of the cold and flu.

“I started feeling better there for a while,” he said, “but the last few innings of the ballgame I think I had a relapse.”

Marcus Giles, who came within a foot or less of hitting two out against Johnson in Game 1 Tuesday, homered on the game’s first pitch to give Atlanta the quickest 1-0 lead possible.

Batista retired 13 in a row in one stretch and did not allow another hit until Lopez’s first-pitch homer off the right-field foul pole in the seventh put the Braves up 3-1. Batista walked Andruw Jones on four pitches right

before allowing the homer.

“As soon as I stepped into the batter’s box, I was shooting for right field all the way” Lopez said. “The first pitch around the plate, I was going to swing as hard as I can.”

Church: McCluskey’s skills represent a ‘lost talent’ � McCLUSKEY from page 11 Even with all her experience and talent, McCluskey is still just a normal 18-year-old, who looked past her athletic options and focused on academics as well when she chose a college. That she was recruited by Duke, Notre Dame, Stanford, and the University of Virginia, all highly ranked schools for education and athletics, clearly shows McCluskey’s academic prowess as well as her soccer ability.

“She’s a very unselfish player” Church said of his young center midfielder. “She sets up players... and also does a great job burying chances.”

In fact, McCluskey leads the points totals with eight goals, two of which were goal winners. Currently at 16 points, she is seven in front of second-leading scorer Alison Sanders, who has four goals.

Of Duke’s 12 games in this season, there have been some unfortunate last minute losses. But McCluskey, who has seen action in all games and has started in eight, has not suffered as an individual player and instead has already made a name for ,herself on the field.

Church attributes her refined skills as a “lost talent.”

“Casey is one of the more dangerous players... [because she is] able to run at players,” Church said.

McCluskey started with soccer at the age of seven and played with a boy’s team. She believes that playing alongside boys aided the development of her skills. Soon, McCluskey made the transition to travel soccer on a

girl’s team.

The Fairfax, Va., native played up an age group with her club team, Elite, which won four state championships and a regional championship. When her team graduated and went off to college, McCluskey joined another club team, BRYC Omni, and was a part of their first state championship in 2000. McCluskey was also a

member of the Region I Olympic Development Team.

While attending West Springfield High School, McCluskey was named to the All-State, All-District, and All-Region teams. She was also an NSCAA All-America selection. She played forward until her junior year, but was recruited by former Duke coach Bill Hempen as a center midfielder.

“I’d still like to be a forward,” McCluskey admitted, even though she is doing so well in the middle.

In the future, McCluskey is hoping to make the U-19 National team and perhaps play professionally.

However, she is not looking past her college soccer career, especially not the remainder of this season.

“We’ve had a series of bad luck [in our games]... and I think some people have lost confidence,” McCluskey said.

However, she credits her Blue Devil team as being well-rounded and deep, commenting that the level of play doesn’t change when subs come in. She also is happy with the team chemistry on and off the field.

“The combination of how good our team is and how much fun we have” had originally helped McCluskey chose Duke over her other options.

Teammate Gwendolyn Oxenham, who was a clear standout in her class as a freshman last year, praises McCluskey’s talent and believes that she’s in the right place.

“She has so much natural ability,” Oxenham said.

“She’s a very mature player for a freshman... She’s obviously going to be a big contributor. It’s great to have that solid of a finisher.”

Perhaps McCluskey’s contributions will someday be DAVE BRADLEY/THE CHRONICLE on national and professional fields. For now, though, she is sticking with the task at hand: to keep on scoring and CASEY MCCLUSKEY has been dribbling through competition in live up to her fast-growing reputation at Duke. her first season with the Blue Devils.

Latino workers’ interests During

the 19905, North Carolina’s Latino population increased by 129 percent, significantly altering the labor force as many other such demographic changes have in the past. A recently released University report attempts to identify and head off potential problems that its Latino employees have faced and will face in the future. Although many of the report’s points reiterate problems already known, they remain important for administrators to address.

In particular, the report points to the language barrier separating Latino employees from their co-workers. It does not merely inhibit communication between employees, but it also limits their ability to learn about job benefits and other useful information. For instance, the University has held forums in the past for workers to express their views, but these opportunities leave Spanish speakers out of the discussion.

The University’s English-as-a-second-language classes are a good step toward alleviating this problem, but they are currently lacking. The courses should be a mandatory part of job training, available at a variety of convenient times so that employees—many ofwhom work more than just one job—get the language skills they need.

Fortunately, officials are not merely looking to teaching English as a solution. Hiring bilingual employees, who can interact with their English- and Spanish-speaking co-workers, is a wise step toward fostering greater communication in the present. Another immediate step is printing forms and procedures in more than one language, allowing Latino workers to have direct access to the information that they need without having to go to someone for a translation. At the same time, creating a central information location for Latino employees provides a direct, consistent place for these workers to go with their issues.

This increased communication should diminish an unfortunate historical trend: When a new group is introduced into an environment, it often faces hostility from the groups already in place, particularly if employment is tight. This adjustment phase is difficult for the incoming group, and for that reason, procedures similar to the ones that the University has outlined need to be in place to provide a wider safety net.

Just as the University must be accommodating to its Latino employees, Local 77—a union representing dining and housekeeping staff—must ensure that they are taking similar steps. Clearly, the issues are important to them as many Latinos work in areas represented by the union. Perhaps the University and Local 77 can act together to improve the lives of Duke’s Latino workers.

TTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bin Laden political hopes led to attacks on U.S.

In his Oct. 10 letter to the editor, Charlie Bailey insinuthat ates “unilateral” American support of Israel is a main reason for the horrific Sept. 11 assault on the United States. Bailey’s views are flawed due to his dual misunderstanding of contemporary history and Osama bin Laden’s motives.

Bailey fails to realize that these suicide missions were planned when Israel and the Palestinians, with the support of the United States, engaged in what many called a promising peace process. This means

Graduate and professional students need community When I was trying to decide where to go to graduate school, a good Mend of mine from my undergraduate years told me that anyone who tells you they have never thought about leaving graduate school is lying.

Pessimistic words for a prospective student and no doubt a part ofwhy I chose not to attend his graduate institution. But lo and behold, two years later I found myself a second year student listening and agreeing as a classmate told that same message to my department’s first year students. One of my faculty members informed me that being miserable in graduate school is part of the process. It wasn’t that she didn’t have Elayne sympathy for me, quite the contrary, Heisler there just aren’t easy solutions. Being miserable was just part of the process, a rite of passage. I have never been one to sit there and be miserable, or to just sit there for that matter, so, instead of succumbing to numerous years of a sub-par existence, I got involved. Having channels outside my department and my discipline has been an amazing experience, which no doubt feeds back into what I do within my studies.

I wasn’t involved in student government in college.

In fact, I was one of those people who frustrate me now as the leader of the Graduate Professional Student Council. I had gripes and I had potential solutions. Yet my ideas were only expressed to my friends, who, like me, though active in the campus community, were not in a position to do anything about our concerns. Now in my third year of graduate school, I am in a position to do something about my concerns and the concerns of anyone who expresses them to me.

While the executive board of GPSC and I certainly cannot do everything, we can do a lot more if we know what issues we need to address and what programs we should be planning. For example, this year we intend on focus on increasing communication channels across the graduate and professional schools. While we don’t want to inundate students with even more e-mails, the efficiency of our advocacy and programming will

increase if we can be sure that our message reaches all have small committee meetings. The new format gives graduate and professional students. individuals an opportunity to discuss issues that conDuke is an ever-changing campus; recently the cern them in smaller format.

Forming a tion may wield the most influence on Duke from the semblance of a graduate and professional student graduate and professional student community. Unlike community is a difficult task that is perhaps only the GPSC president who serves an academic year, this reached for 36 hours at Campout for tickets and a few person is on the Board of Trustees for three years. We hours gathered in bleachers at Cameron. A formal will be soliciting applications over the next weeks and lounge for graduate and professional students to soliciting feedback both on the position itself and on gather could be an important step in community prospective candidates. I encourage you to be involved building. GPSC is also working on setting up a more with GPSC’s selection of Young Trustee and with systematic infrastructure so that programming is GPSC itself.
