Robbery in Blue Zone sparks student concern Police say lots remain safest on campus, urge students to take caution at all times

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE

A CAR ENTERS THE BLUE ZONE by passing through a gate; in the background, a hut designed for a security officer sits empty.

Student confidence in the safety of undergraduate parking seems to have fallen after a student was allegedly assaulted Tuesday night in the Blue Zone, but police maintain thatthe lots are already the safest on campus.

The student, junior Lee Jones, reported being held up at gunpoint after getting out of his car at about 10:15 p.m. Jones was not hurt, but the suspect did take his wallet. It was the first such incident reported since the Blue Zone opened in August 2000 as the main parking area for West Campus residents, and police continue to point out the lots’ safety measures.

“I still see it as a safe lot. No lot is going to be 100 percent crime-proof,” said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. “If someone has in mind to commit a crime, then they are going to. Students should always be aware of their surroundings no matter where they are. Those things should be an everyday practice; just being aware.”

Dean and parking officials said they welcome suggestions on how to improve security, but said that there are currently no plans for increased measures. They noted the relatively low crime rates in the Blue Zone since they installed 10-foot fences, more lighting, video cameras and See BLUE ZONE on page 10 P-

NCCU chancellor hopes for progress � After arriving at North Carolina Central University in June, Chancellor James Ammons hopes to attract top-quality students and faculty and reach out to the community.

By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle

With a new chancellor at its helm and its first enrollment increase in a decade, North Carolina Central University is aiming to rise into the ranks ofthe nation’s top universities.

James Ammons, NCCU’s new chancellor, came to the university in June after 18 years at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, where he saw the school nearly triple its enrollment and become a top institution. His plans for NCCU are equally ambitious.

WASHINGTON Health officials here monitored increasing numbers of people for suspected anthrax while John Potter, the postmaster general, acknowledged Wednesday that he could not guarantee the safety of the mail. President George W. Bush warned that the nation was “still under attack.”

Their statements reflected the growing sense that government officials had vastly underestimated the threat posed by the anthrax contained in a handful ofletters sent to Congress and news organizations in recent weeks. So far two postal workers in Washington have died and at least two others have been

Officials are particularly concerned about the letter sent to Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D. Several top scientists inside and outside the government said Wednesday that the powdery anthrax found in that letter was advanced and highly dangerous, contradicting officials who had suggested over the past week that the substance

was relatively primitive.

New York Times News Service

LONDON With combat in Afghanistan moving from exclusive reliance on airstrikes to more complex commando operations, Britain’s top military officer said Wednesday that ground troops might have to operate in Afghanistan for weeks at a time if they are to ferret out Osama bin Laden and destroy his terrorist network.

The raids envisaged by the British commander, Adm. Michael Boyce, would be far longer and more complex than the raid carried out Friday by U.S. Special Operations forces, which were on Afghan territory for only a few hours and encountered light resistance.

Boyce, a 58-year-old former submariner, is heavily involved in planning the campaign against the Taliban and bin Laden and made an unpublicized visit last week to the Pentagon and to Tampa, Fla., to meet Gen. Tommy Franks,

the head of the U.S. Central Command, who is running America’s campaign in Afghanistan.

He said he talked several times a week by telephone to Gen. Richard Myers, the U.S. chief of staff, “bouncing ideas back and forth and having a good debate.”

While the U.S. military has been the overwhelming force during the first phase of the conflict, the British role is more vital now that the campaign is beginning to involve ground troops.

In his first comments to an American newspaper since the war against Afghanistan began with American and British bombing on Oct. 7, Boyce indicated that lengthy, potentially risky commando operations would probably be required to track down bin Laden, his main lieutenants and the Taliban leaders.

Wireless service abuse sparks ban � Fearing misuse of the Internet, the Fuqua School of Business banned laptop use in the classroom, but the School of Law remains open to the practice.

By JAMIE KLEINERMAN The Chronicle

When the University installed wireless networks in the Fuqua School of Business and the School of Law, they hoped professors and students would use the Internet to supplement academic work. But misuse of the service has forced Fuqua administrators to ban Internet access during classes, sparking debate.

“We prohibit computers in the classroom,” said Doug Breeden, dean of the business school. “They are distracting, even if [the students] are working.”

But the issue is far from clear cut. Noting that all law students are required to have laptops, law dean Katharine Bartlett said computers enhance note-taking. She also acknowledged the potential for Internet abuse but has not yet implemented a policy.

Some students said they appreciate the ability to use the Internet whenever they want.

“Before class starts, I can do a quick e-mail check,” said third-year law student Kathleen Yuergens. “It’s also helpful with administrative matters, because it allows me to respond promptly to messages.”

However, the presence of the Internet can bring new distractions to students, as they can check e-mail, trade stocks and surf the World Wide Web instead of focusing on class lectures and discussion. Students admit the Internet is tempting, and they often check airline fares and the weather online in addition to reading the day’s news and visiting shopping sites.

“If you look around the classroom, you see that everyone is on the Web. This makes it difficult to ask someone for their notes from a specific day,” third-year law student Ryan Vogt-Lowell wrote in an e-mail. “It’s also disrupting when someone who is on the Internet gets called on to answer a question and has no idea what is even being talked about.”

Distractions like that have led critics to charge that the Internet is abused by students, and should either be banned, as done at Fuqua, or shut off through the use of “kill switches.” These switches would allow professors to shut down all Internet access while class is in session.

OFFICES AT THE SCHOOL OF NURSING are cramped, as the school, which has grown significantly over the past 10 years, searches for more space.

Duke may fix nursing space crunch Two options emerge to ease School of Nursing concerns

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

The space crunch in the School of Nursing may soon be resolved.

Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said that there are two options: either construct an addition to the nursing school or provide them with more space in Trent Drive Hall.

“We are out of space,” said Mary Champagne, dean of the School of Nursing. “We’ve outgrown it and having faculty far dispersed, it makes it difficult to have a community.”

The school has grown exponentially from five faculty members and 50 students ten years ago to 35 faculty members and 250 students today.

Currently, the school is spread out in a number of buildings, including the 10,000 square-foot North Campus facility that once housed the entire nursing school, as well as 4,000 more square feet of space dispersed throughout the nearby Baker House and

Hanes House Annex.

Champagne said the most preferable option is an addition, especially as the nursing school plans for even more students to participate in a new second bachelor’s degree program.

“A building addition is far superior,” she said. “It will allow us facilities for the programs we want.”

She said that an addition would allow for better wiring and additional technology for teaching classSee NURSING on page 6

Despite fears, Blue Roach continues � Although many thought the spoken-word series was permanently canceled, it continues as usual this year.

By MATT BRADLEY The Chronicle

Despite the resignation of the director of the Blue Roach spoken word series, which offers poetry and open-mic nights at the East Campus Coffee

House, the biweekly poetry exposition will continue.

The poetry series was canceled after its director, Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture Artist-inResidence Philip Shabazz, left the University last year.

“At the beginning of the year, there were a lot ofpeople who seemed to think that the Blue Roach had just disappeared,” said Brian Denton, assistant dean of university life and staff advisor for the Coffee House.

Denton said several students who did not want to see an end to open mic opportunities at Duke formed the Phoenix Poetry Series to give students an outlet for spoken-word art. The Phoenix featured black poet, Wake Forest professor and Duke doctoral candidate Evie Shockley at the Coffee House

THE LIBRARY SERVICES CENTER, an off-site book storage facility, is located eight miles from campus at 5 Anson St

Users appreciate new library facility

By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle

With nearly 700,000 book volumes moved from the Duke Offsite Storage Stacks to the new Library Services Center, library users report that obtaining books from the center has been easy.

“What really matters for the professors is how rapidly we receive the texts,” said Professor of History Peter Wood. “If there was some obscure collection, it might be easier to go there. The trade-off could be to put copies ofthe tables of contents in Perkins [Library]. I have found that that the delivery system has worked very well.”

Wood said he appreciated the Online Public Access Catalog, a service that allows professors and students to order books online, since his office is located on East Campus in the Carr Building.

Now that most volumes have been moved, officials are

busy re-cataloging the books on the new Library Services Center system, which is based on one at Yale University. They said the process has been slow, but once they finish, they expect to provide the same 24-hour service with less paperwork

for patrons.

“We are even looking into ways of photocopying old journals and having them delivered in the same way,” said Tom Wall, director of public services at Perkins. “It is functional now, but we are trying to make it more functional. My goal is to make this seamless for the library patrons.”

By building the new facility, library officials hoped to plan for long-term space needs and improve the conditions for storage of the older volumes by decreasing temperature and humidity.

Wall said the stacks are 45 feet tall, so that the 23,000 square-foot site may be optimized in consideration of size and depth, rather than by subject.

Johnson steps down from Young Trustee committee

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Let the race for Young Trustee begin, At last night’s Duke Student Government meeting, Vice President for Community Interaction Carrie Johnson threw her hat into the ring for the undergraduate spot on the Board of Trustees.

Johnson’s announcement is the first of the race, which usually attracts more than 10 initial candidates. Johnson resigned as chair of the Young Trustee Nominating Committee, one of the major responsibilities of her vice presidency.

The YTNC is part of the Intercommunity Council, a group of student leaders that includes DSG officials, the editor of The Chronicle and presidents and chairs of other student organizations. teach January, the YTNC narrows down the candidates for the Young Trustee position to three. The DSG legislature then selects the Young Trustee through a final vote in January. The Young Trustee serves a three-year term, gaining voting privileges in the second year of service.

Johnson said she will remain a member of the ICC. “I’ll still be working with the ICC and [DSG President] C.J. [Walsh],” Johnson said.

The senior was DSG co-coordinator of student leadership last year, and has served in various leadership positions outside of DSG, including in the Women’s Studies Dormitory and Students for Choice.

Walsh also nominated himself Wednesday as Johnson’s replacement as

chair of the nominating committee, thereby eliminating himself as a potential candidate for the position.

“I ran for [DSG president] to improve this organization,” Walsh told legislators, “not to pat myself on the back. I want to be a normal person after I graduate.”

Walsh’s predecessor, Jordan Bazinsky, won last year’s Young Trustee election.

In an e-mail sent to DSG legislators Tuesday night, Walsh explained that under DSG bylaw he is charged with appointing another elected member of the Cabinet to chair the selection process.

Walsh said his decision to chair the selection committee himself was one made by process-of-elimination.

Walsh said Executive Vice President Drew Ensign also has expressed interest in running for Young Trustee and

would thus be ineligible.

Ensign confirmed that he is considering running but has not made a final decision.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Abhijit Prabhu declined the chair position due to his academic load. Walsh said he also felt it would be inappropriate for Vice President for Student Affairs Joshua Jean-Baptiste and Vice

President for Facilities and Athletics Matthew Slovik to chair the committee because both are not seniors.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: DSG legislators voted unanimously to increase the DSG portion of the student activity fee by $2 to $72 a year.

The increase is intended to adjust for the University-wide standard 3 percent inflation rate.

Nursing Students report Internet misuse in class officials cite space limits � NURSING from page 3 es. Furthermore, she said that because the nursing school will always be a modest-sized school, with a small

faculty, it is important for them to be united in one building.

The school has been involved in a

number of planning stages to assess office, student and research needs.

She hoped that the nursing school would be able to present a recommendation to Medical Center administrators by mid-November.

Marcia Loriraer, an assistant clinical professor, said that space concerns have plagued the school for at least the past two years.

“We are tripping all over each other. It’s hard to think,” said Lorimer, who teaches in one building and has an office in another. She added that technical issues are another problem at the school.

“Just having to have the technical staff set it up, there’s only a certain number of them,” Lorimer said.

“They can’t be everywhere at once.

[When] you have to find them, class gets delayed,” she added.

Champagne said she had toured new facilities at a number ofother universities, including Emory University and the Johns Hopkins University.

Mary O’Rourke, director of admissions and student services at Johns Hopkins’ nursing school, said a new building, opened in 1998, has unified that school and has made it more attractive to both incoming faculty and to students.

“I think that for me, from a marketing perspective, it certainly was a lot easier to promote this school with a brand new building like that,” she said. “We had been scattered throughout the university before then.”

� INTERNET from page 3 dents do not use the Internet, despite its availability in classrooms.

“All the classrooms in Fuqua, I understand, are now set up for wireless Internet access. However, in the Daytime MBA Program, students are typically discouraged from using these facilities during class time,” Hogan wrote in an e-mail.

Many professors and students say that banning Internet use does not ad-

dress the whole problem. They feel that the presence of laptop computers itself provides just as much distraction as the Internet.

“I’ve seen people playing Free Cell, Solitaire or Pac-Man in class,” said third-year law student Amy Carper.

“What it comes down to is the individual students’ beliefs and discipline, and whether they allow themselves to be distracted.”

Some professors say the introduc-

tion of computers and Internet access into classrooms merely renews the challenges to win over and hold students’ attention.

“All that’s changed is the form of distraction,” said Tom Metzloff, professor of law.

“Students used to read newspapers, do crossword puzzles or fall asleep in class,” he said. ‘What remains is the challenge to engage students with the material and be an effective teacher.”

there may also be situations in which commandos need to carry out a more extensive search. “You may have an idea that there is something in that particular small area you are looking at, but you are not actually sure exactly where it is until you go and find it,” he said.

One potential target, he said, is not only the al-Qaida and Taliban leadership, but stashes of opium and heroin, which the Taliban have been accused of selling to raise money to buy arms.

“If you knew where a drug cache is, taking that down would be very useful thing,” he said. “It is something we are looking for very hard and would be happy to do something about.”

Boyce acknowledged that the military was under enormous pressure from political leaders to defeat the Taliban and alQaida swiftly. But the Taliban, he said, are digging in, making the war a longterm test of wills.

Military leaders, the admiral suggested, therefore must send two messages.

They heed to show the Taliban that they cannot outlast the American-led coalition. This is done by maintaining steady military pressure through bombing and commando raids.

Second, military leaders must persuade Western politicians and pundits that fighting terrorism may be less of a blitzkrieg than a grinding war of attrition, a war that Boyce has already cautioned may last through the summer and even beyond.

Number of Anthrax cases continues to rise across the nation ANTHRAX from page 2

to anthrax were being monitored, with “low suspicion” that their ailments were anthrax-related.

But as a precaution, health officials expanded their recommendation for immediate antibiotic treatment to include all workers in 120 institutions that receive bulk mail, including the Library of Congress. The decisions was based on concern that such mail might have been contaminated at the district’s main processing center on Brentwood Road, which handled the Daschle letter.

One other suspected anthrax case was reported in New York. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said a second employee ofthe New York Post had probably contracted an anthrax infection of the skin.

It was another unsettling day as the government’s top officials grappled with an insidious and invisible enemy. Despite a sprawling and active investigation, law enforcement officials said they now believed additional anthrax attacks were a certainty.

Addressing the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the FBI director, Robert Mueller, said the anthrax attacks “were clearly meant to terrorize a country already on the edge.”

Bush, in remarks at a Maryland printing plant to promote his economic stimulus package, repeated that he had no direct evidence connecting anthrax to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but said, “There are some links.”

“Both series of actions are motivated by evil and hate,” Bush said. “Both series of actions are meant to disrupt Americans’ way of life. Both series of actions are an attack on our homeland. And both series of actions will not stand.”

Student takes over organization of Blue Roach

� BLUE ROACH from page 4 But the Blue Roach is back. Under the unofficial direction of junior Frankye Riley, the show will feature spoken-word art on alternating Thursday nights, beginning tonight. “We’re working in collaboration with a lot of different people,” said Riley. “We’re working with Mi Gente, and a new group called Students for Economic Justice.” Riley said she hopes to run theme poetry nights based on the groups with whom she is working.

Currently, the Blue Roach is not chartered under Duke Student Government, but Riley said she hopes it will be recognized as a student organization before the end of the year.

Each event features a professional poet or spokenword artist, and is followed by an open-mic session where audience members are given the opportunity to present their work on stage. “Some people sing, other people do poetry, some people just want to say something, some people freestyle,” said Riley. “It just depends on who is in the audience and who wants to try something that night.”

The group hopes to continue growing despite the absence of Shabazz. Riley said Shabazz, a regionally recognized black poet, concentrated on artistic programming for the Mary Lou Williams Center. Neither Riley nor Mary Lou Williams Center Director Leon Dunkley knew with certainty Shabazz’s reasons for leaving Duke, and Shabazz could not be reached for comment.

THE EAST CAMPUS COFFEE HOUSE serves as the home of the Blue Roach spoken-word series,

International Delights owner explains ketchup policy � LUBBAD from page 1 “The embassy said we would be taken care of before we came here,” Lubbad said. “They gave us $1,200 and put us up for two nights in the Holiday Inn. After that, we were pretty much on our own.”

He said North Carolina officials found an apartment for his family and paid the $5lO rent for three months. After that period expired, Lubbad and his family could no longer afford to live there and sub-

sequently moved.

Lubbad began to work for the North Carolina Department of Revenue, but said he was forced to sell fruit by the roadside in order to support his family.

It took them several years to adjust to their new life in America, Lubbad said; learning English was

the most difficult part.

“I had to work when we first got here because we needed the money,” said Lubbad’s wife, Zakie Moukanna. “When we finally got some money, I signed up for classes because I needed to be able to communicate.”

After a few years in America, Moukanna had the idea to make Mediterranean food. That sparked her husband’s idea to begin International Delights, a well-established local eatery. They chose the Ninth Street location because it was close to the University and Duke Hospital.

“We knew the people here at Duke were good people, and that they knew and loved... the food we were going to make,” Lubbad said.

Now, Lubbad is well-known throughout the Duke community for his restaurant, and his policies, such as prohibition of ketchup, have made customers talk.

“They get ketchup only for fries,” Lubbad explained. “I do not let them use ketchup for my food.

You use ketchup to cover up the taste of bad food like a hamburger from McDonalds. You don’t use ketchup on good food that you get at my restaurant.”

Lubbad has large signs posted, featuring a ketchup bottle with a line through it and the words,

‘No ketchup.’

“I make my food like we make it at home,” he said.

Ammons hopes to continue trend of higher enrollment NCCU from page 1 The key elements of this plan, Ammons said, are attracting high-caliber students, reaching oiit to corporate America, recruiting outstanding faculty and connecting with the community.

“We are developing a vision and a strategic plan to position NCCU to be one of the leading universities in the country,” he said, adding that the university is already seeing benefits from these plans.

In their attempt to build corporate links, NCCU will host an industry summit today, bringing between 65 and 70 corporations such as Oracle, IBM and Xerox to campus as a jumping-offpoint for relationships that Ammons said he hopes can provide scholarships, internships, technical assistance and equipment and bring distinguished lecturers to the campus.

“Corporations that need a highly talented workforce and also need diversity are looking for places where they can recruit top talent to help diversify &

their workforces,” Ammons said.

Red Hat Executive Vice President Mark Webbink, who is co-chairing the summit with Red Hat President and CEO Matthew Szulik, said he was enthusiastic that NCCU would definitely be a place that Red Hat could look to recruit employees, especially as the university is currently working to advance

and student caliber cannot simultaneously increase is a misconception.

“When people talk about providing access, they think that what you’re going to do is lower quality,” Ammons said. “That’s not what we’re going to do.”

The emphasis on enrollment and retention resonates, as declines in enrollment throughout the 1990s led to a $956,000 budget shortfall that Ammons said will be felt primarily in the areas ofteaching, research and service. The university did receive $l2l million in state bond money for construction and renovation, primarily of residence halls.

In order to further NCCU’s prestige, Ammons is also concentrating on recruiting top professors and expanding the university’s stronger programs. A

The industry summit ties in with another of Ammons’ goals, attracting top students. He said he aims to put together scholarship packages that will include extra incentives like internships and laptop

computers.

Along with raising the caliber of the student body, Ammons said he hopes to continue this year’s trend of increased enrollment and begin working on student retention.

Director of Undergraduate Admissions Jocelyn Foy enumerated a variety of reasons behind this year’s increase of 274 students. NCCU employed aggressive marketing strategies, worked with alumni, targeted high-achieving students and offered more

number of endowed chairs are currently vacant, and the corporate relationship that Ammons hopes to establish can help put in place attractive salary packages and benefits, he said.

One ofthe programs he hopes to expand is that of biomedical science. For example, he wants the curriculum to include genomics and viral informatics.

The Julius L. Chambers Biomedical/Biotechnology Research Institute is currently conducting research in those areas and will continue to work with students interested in biomedical science, said Dr. Ken Harewood, the institute’s director, “We are complementing and supplementing the experience that they get in the classroom and better preparing them for their careers,” Harewood said.

scholarships.

Although no specific eligibility requirements are yet planned, Foy said she expects some such changes under Ammons’ administration.

Ammons said he plans to put into place an admissions profile that will take into consideration class rank, test scores, courses, socioeconomic factors

and grade point average. “[The profile] in some instances will include students who other universities wouldn’t take a chance on, but we are,” he said.

Police do not yet have any suspects in the case, but Wednesday they did release more details about the person for whom they are searching. Jones described him as a 180-lb., 6’ black man wearing blue jeans and a dark-colored, hooded sweatshirt. The man allegedly approached him, asking, “Hey man what you got?” and pointing what Jones thought to be a silver-colored handgun, possibly 9 mm.

Jones gave the man his wallet, containing $3O cash and credit and identification cards. The man then ran into the wooded area toward Duke University

“It seems that up until now, given the low crime rate, that the security measures in the Blue Zone have been adequate. But an incident as severe as this raises questions in my mind,” said sophomore Matthew Slovik, Duke Student Government vice president for facilities and athletics.

Fuller scores lone goal as women’s soccer beats ’Pack

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

RALEIGH In a battle between two ACC rivals, Duke ended its fivegame conference losing streak last night with a hard fought 1-0 victory over N.C. State at the WRAL Soccer Complex.

Despite controlling the flow of the game, the Blue Devils (6-8, 1-5 in the ACC) squandered a bevy of second-half opportunities to seize a comfortable lead, and were forced to sweat out late scoring threats from the

Wolfpack (7-7, 0-5).

“Any ACC win is a quality win,” Duke coach Robbie Church said. “It was not the prettiest game you have ever seen, but you just have to roll your sleeves up.”

Junior midfielder Carly Fuller scored the Blue Devils’ lone goal in the contest’s 18th minute. Her superbly struck free kick taken from 30 yards out first cleared a wall of Wolfpack defenders and then dipped under the cross bar to find the net’s left corner.

“I was really excited,” Fuller said. “I stepped back, and it was just a great hit. Right when I hit it, I was like Tes!’” Duke goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir preserved the lead with several brilliant saves. Although passively watching her team play in N.C. State’s half ofthe field for much ofthe contest, Helgadottir occasionally came under heavy pressure. In the 34th minute, she sprawled to deny the Wolfpack’s Adrienne Barnes from point-blank range, thereby allowing Duke to retain its advantage. :i “These games aren’t any easier for the goalkeeper, just because we have control of the game,” Helgadottir ,

said. “We are always afraid of losing focus.”

After seeing his team rely on Helgadottir’s sterling performance so as not to relinquish its slim margin, Church expressed frustration at his squad’s inability to finish off opposing teams.

DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

THORA HELGADOTTIR stuffs a Wolfpack player Wednesday night. The Iceland native made 11 saves in shutting out N.C. State.

“We had control most ofthe game, but we can’t put anybody away,” he said. “We could not get the second goal. That’s what we talked about at halftime, but we could not get the second goal.”

Last year, Duke’s inability to finish off the Wolfpack resulted in a bitter 2-1 defeat. N.C. State scored two goals in the final 15 minutes, stunning the Blue Devils, Consequently, as Wednesday’s game wore on, the Blue Devil players felt an acute sensation of deja vu.

“Sitting on the sidelines I was really anxious,” soph-

omore midfielder Gwendolyn Oxenham said. “It was definitely nerve racking.”

However, desperately needing to win in order to keep alive their hopes at receiving a postseason birth, the Blue Devils responded to the tense situation, “We all came out and knew that this was pretty much make it or break it,” Fuller said. “If we don’t win today, we are done. They were in the same position we were, so we had to battle.”

Zolman ready to lead attac against Duke Vanderbilt's quarterback has dangerous wide receivers in Garrett and Strieker

By Kevin Lloyd The Chronicle

This

Saturday the Duke Blue Devils (0-7, 0-4) square off against the Vanderbilt Commodores (1-5) at Wallace Wade Stadium in what has been referred to by the national press as “the worst thing ever.”

While the media scoffs at a matchup of arguably the two worst teams in major conference football, this is a huge game for both teams.

After Vanderbilt, the Blue Devils have N.C. State, UNC and Clemson left on the schedule. Duke would hardly be favored in any of those contests.

If the Blue Devils want to prevent a winless season, they are going to have to stop Vanderbilt quarterback Greg Zolman.

The fifth-year senior quarterback has led the Commodores to a very respectable No. 5 ranking in Southeastern Conference passing offense.

“Our quarterback position is the best that it has ever been since I have been here,” Vanderbilt coach Woody Widenhofer said.

This season Zolman surpassed Whit Taylor as the team’s all-time leader in passing yardage. His career total now stands at 6,736 yards.

Against Duke this week, Zolman can also become Vanderbilt’s career leader in passing attempts, as he needs only eight to surpass another of Taylor’s records.

Despite the Commodore’s unimpressive record,

� ACC Game of the Week

K. Campbell, Ga Tech 42 D. Hamilton, Clem

“This could be one heck of a football game. I guarantee that Vanderbilt feels the exact same way, and there's no reason they shouldn't.”

Luke Manget, GeorgiaTech’s place kicker, kicked his 118th consecutive extra point, setting an ACC record. Manget is the conference’s leading scorer with 53 points—27 extra points, 12 field goals. He did struggle against N.C. State, however, going 2-of-7 on field goal attempts, including a blocked kick in the Yellow Jackets’ 27-17 win over the Wolfpack.

Tenth-ranked Maryland goes to Tallahassee looking to beat the 19th-rankedFlorida State Seminoles for the first time in 12 tries. Florida State has outscored the Terrapins 459 to 122 over the past 9 meetings since joining the ACC in 1992. With a win, FSU head coach Bobby Bowden can move into third-place in NCAA career coaching victories, Bowden’s 318 tie him for third with "Pop" Warner.

“It's amazing how [the ACC race] has gone.... Our backs are against the wall in the ACC race. Maryland is in the driver’s seat.”

Melchionni will redshirt next year N.C. State warned for bad language

� MELCHIONNI from page 11 made him grow accustomed to being the focal point of a team, Lee will need to adjust into his new role of wearing a suit to the arena.

Nevertheless, the reasons for his sitting out a year are numerous.

From a strict basketball perspective, most pundits agree that his year on the sidelines will allow Melchionni the time to mature physically so that his less-developed 6-7 frame can grow into itself.

Even Jim Fenerty, his basketball coach at Germantown (PA) Academy welcomes the situation.

“For Lee’s development, the redshirt is probably a good thing since he’s such a young senior this year,” he said. “The choice will leave him in good stead overall within the program.”

Also, with Duke’s obtaining six high-quality recruits for the Class of 2006, no space remained on the roster for Melchionni.

Gary Melchionni obviously has a different perspective on his son’s sitting out a year.

“I don’t think there are any negatives to his redshirting, except for the one my wallet is going to take,” he said half-jokingly, because fathers can only halfjoke when it comes to finances.

“Academically, it will work out great. He could be taking grad courses by his third or fourth season if that’s what he chooses.”

And when Lee does suit up for the first time in the fall of 2003, he will share the court with people he actively recruited.

Upon accepting his offer from Duke, Lee started selling the program to other potential recruits like Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams, and now the Blue Devils have what is being deemed as one of the best classes in NCAA history.

“I sent out e-mails, I instant messaged them, I called them,” Melchionni said without pretense. “I just wanted to talk up Duke. I think it helped a little, but I don’t want to take credit for developing this recruiting class or anything.”

Due recognition or not for his marketing skills, Lee has secured his spot on a team comprised both of

men with whom he has already developed strong bonds offriendship and who possess unconscionable physical talent.

Playing alongside his new classmates, Meichionni will move from one family to another, but the transition appears to be so seamless that one gets the impression that both of them really meant the same thing to him all along.

� WOMEN’S SOCCER from page 11 Certainly the contest’s intensity reflected its dire importance. Both sides challenged one another with reckless abandon as the fouls quickly piled up. The grudge match also featured a running dialogue, as coaches and players alike vocalized their frustrations.

Late in the contest, both teams’ competitive fires burned brightly. Duke assis-

tant coach Carla Overbeck received a yellow card for arguing with the head official, and numerous N.C. State players were warned for the use oflanguage as they vehemently protested foul calls.

Oxenham drew many of the linesmen’s disputed decisions.

Her speed and deft maneuvering along the right wing repeat- Qar | a Overbeck opposing victimized edly defenders, who in turn were left clutching at her jersey.

Despite being repeatedly knocked to the ground, the stoic Oxenham remained quiet, in marked contrast to the N.C. State players’ vigorous but unproductive objections.

Reminded of such verbal objections after the match’s conclusion, a weary Oxenham offered a wry grin as she savored her team’s victory.

“It was the kind of game I like,” she said. “It was very physical, and there was a lot of trash talking.

That makes life interesting.”

The Chronicle Foreign student policy

In

the wake ofthe Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, many have looked for reforms to prevent the tragedies from occurring again. One such proposal seeks to improve the tracking of international students.

Although the premise that a country should be able to know the general purpose for a foreign visitor’s presence in the country is acceptable, it is imperative that this plan not be executed hastily out of an emotional reaction to the tragedy.

The initiative’s roots lie in a 1996 law that requires Immigration and Naturalization Services to establish by 2003 a general monitoring system on the institutions that foreign students are attending. Now, lawmakers are looking to accelerate its timetable. Unfortunately, the current law would burden foreign students with a $95 fee as part of obtaining their student visa. The fee looms unacceptably large to many students from poor countries that may have very weak currencies. Furthermore, few services provided by the government require a fee. Why should international students be treated any differently?

Still, the overall system awaiting implementation seems prudent if it is used to make sure that international students truly are attending the institutions for which their visas were issued. A government has the right to place conditions on entry through its borders and ensure these conditions are met. In fact, the proposal merely makes the enforcement of already existing laws more efficient so that schools can notify INS when students have not been on campus. It also could allow better tracking of when those student visas expire.

Still, the system could be perverted into an invasive tracker of movement, especially at a time when emotions run high.

International students’ whereabouts should not be monitored in the fashion of shipping packages, and such excessive measures as mandatory fingerprinting are unnecessary. This system cannot be allowed to degrade into a sanctioned form ofracial profiling with millions of dollars allocated to its budget.

Americans often trumpet the liberties afforded to them. The notion of needlessly curtailing the liberties of visitors to the United States should offend these sensibilities. However, if this system is only to provide better communication between INS and institutions of learning to ensure that students are attending their designated institution—the very reason student visas were issued to them by the US. —it is tolerable. The impetus for its rushed implementation is unfortunate, but a system with this directive enables better enforcement oflaws already on the books.

Letters to the editor

Public policy department received unfair criticism I agree with part of John Zimmerman’s Oct. 11 column: The Sanford Institute of Public Policy is popular. The department is trend-setting, and the building is beautiful,

However, Zimmerman is also wrong. TTie Sanford Institute does offer courses which are relevant to everyday life.

Have you ever seen a beer commercial on television?

Have you ever read an article

Rep. David Price is on leave while serving his term in Washington, D.C. Zimmerman also cornplains about the types of skills that are taught in several of the core public policy courses. He says that these basic ideas are merely “useless pet projects.” Although it may not be immediately apparent, these skills are essential for understanding discussions in the elective PPS courses. I cannot think of any field where you can ignore the basics yet still appreciate the advanced topics. Furthermore, these fundamental issues taught at the Sanford Institute are relevant to a wide variety of

ic environment.” Although some professors in the department are liberal, this bias has not appeared in any of the numerous courses that I have taken. If anything, the political preferences of the professors create more interesting class discussions.

Before you blindly believe anything that Zimmerman espouses, I encourage you to take a PPS course. The topics for Spring 2002 include “The policy conflicts surrounding the production of Broadway shows,” “The Administration of Justice in America” and “The United States role in international security.” Plus, after studying public policy, you may actually understand the true meaning behind all

about AIDS? Have you ever debated the merits of state lotteries? If you answered yes to any ofthese questions, then you may be interested in talking a PPS class. There are world-famous professors at the Sanford Institute who specialize in each of these topics as well as many oth- other majors and disciplines, Zimmerman Finally, ers. For instance, Jim Joseph is a former ambassador to argues that the public policy those beer commercials.

Victory over conflicts includes exporting U.S. ideals Kelly Bowling’s Oct. 19 letter to the editor that suggests the United States is going too far in seeking to impose its ideals on the rest ofthe world is so far off base that it needs to be answered.

One of our nation’s shortcomings has been its failure to seek to impose our ideals on

other nations over whom it has leverage. We may have no leverage over Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein, who use the Muslim faith like Adolf Hitler used Christianity, and we may have to handle them like we handled Hitler.

However, we do have leverage over a number of friendly

for referenced

Muslim governments, and we need to encourage them to expand educational and economic opportunities and to move toward representative government as Turkey has.

We also need to encourage the government to whom we give the most aid of all to stop shooting rock-throwing children, stop bulldozing houses, stop moving new settlers into areas that were reserved for Palestinians when Israel was

carved from their land and stop assassinating Palestinian leaders rather than capturing and trying them for misdeeds.

The Palestinians have predictably responded with the assassination of an Israeli

leader and Israel has reciprocated with farther bloodshed and invasion of Palestinian territory. Since we have leverage with both Israel and nearby Muslim states, it is our duty to seek to impose our ideals and bring this madness is to a just end.

Rather than curtail i Pur efforts to impose our ideals, we must commit ourselves to the export our ideals of liberty and justice to all nations, even to those nations we do not want to offend because of their petroleum or because of their status as our allies.

Laughs lost on new sophomore housing privileges I have been very pleased with the current developments concerning the unity of the soon-to-be sophomore class. Next year, the juniors and seniors will be sent to Trent and off campus so that the sophomores can be together. While this is an improvement, we are disappointed that this is all we can do to increase unity.

First of all, what about registration? There is no reason that seniors should get first picks. This causes sophomores to be spread out in different classes, many of which were probably not even their first

choice. Why should seniors hog the classes? They’ve been here three years already, and if they haven’t taken a class they need, then tough luck.

But why stop there?

Sophomores should be together all the time. We’ve noticed that at many Duke basketball games, sophomores are dispersed randomly throughout the crowd. You might find, for example, that two groups of sophomores are separated by a group of juniors, or worse, seniors. Obviously, sophomores should get let into the game first. Maybe we could reserve the first two rows in the student section, or better yet, behind the Duke bench. It could be “Main West Seating.”

And sophomores need a way to identify each other.

Just walking around campus, with all these non-sophomores, it can be difficult to tell who is one of the few.

Freshmen, juniors and seniors

should be required to wear red armbands. This would make it easier to give preferential service at the campus eateries, better grades in classes and nicer haircuts at the Duke Barber Shop.

It’s about time that we did something about this problem. Sophomores of Duke, unite! Demand the privileges that are rightfully yours. Let the tyranny of sophomore class fragmentation finally be overthrown.

Fear of flying One bad flyer’s fears augmented by Sept. 11 attacks I have never been a good flyer.

Between my bad sinuses and my overactive imagination, flying has always been both physically and psychologically mmmßk trying—particularly since the airlines seem to enjoy showing such airplane-appropriate movies as Armageddon Laura and Air Force One when

I fly. But I always man-

Pptollp

walk down the gangway onto the plane.

For me, as I expect for many of you, that moment came over fall break, when my fiance and I flew out to visit his family in New Mexico. There’s no really good way to get to New Mexico except by air, unless you really, really like the boredom of taking 1,500 miles of Interstate 40 (no stoplights from here to Santa Fe!).

Not flying is a victory for the terrorists, of course: The point of terror is to terrify. I know the airplanes are probably safer right now than they ever have been, I know the next attack will not come in the same way. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that right now, I am terribly frightened of getting on a plane.

I didn’t sleep well the night before, and I wondered if I could ask a doctor for a sedative or something to relax me on the plane, and if they would prescribe it. I tried to pick magazines for the flight with nothing at all about Sept. 11th in them—which finally proved to be impossible, so I went with a romance novel instead. I worried a lot about the physics of flight, and whether they really, really worked (there are reasons I did not major in science). I wondered how the pilot felt, and if he was nervous. I wished Raleigh-Durham International Airport were a little further away from D.C. I wished that we could fly direct instead of changing planes in St. Louis and having to go through the take-off/landing/boarding stuff a whole extra time. I wished that everyone else on the plane

aged to get on that little silver tube, attempting to hold my imagination firmly in check and doping my poor sinuses up as much as possible.

After Sept. 11,1 wasn’t sure I could anymore. It was all my worst nightmares come to life, my most horrible imaginings given flesh. How could anyone get on a plane again after seeing how fragile they were? How could I possibly give that much control of my life into the hands of someone else? It was terrifying enough when I was just sitting at 30,000 feet in a piece of metal, when, as everyone knows, metal is clearly not lighter than air. (Metal also sinks in water, hence my strong dislike for boats.) But how could I possibly go up in the air again now that my nightmares have faces? Now that my worst imaginings have been immortalized with news footage?

For law students, it’s our interview season, which means (hopefully) that eventually some law firm will like us enough to fly us to its main office to interview on site. For all of us, the holiday season is fast approaching, and would be a pleasant-looking young while driving home between semesters mother flying with children, or else a for the December holidays may be pracnun in full regalia with spare rosaries tical if you live on this side of the for nervous passengers.

But regardless of the airplane, the time of when we took off again from St. Louis, day or where you sit. There is one I felt it. The one perfect moment. It moment where the plane is roaring was still there.

A great deal of our innocence has down the runway at incredible speed and the wings have just caught the air, been stolen. But there is still magic in and you can feel —for just the breath of the world. There is still hope. And there an instant —suspended between earth is still that one perfect moment when and sky, while the wheels are still on the world falls away and humanity once the ground and the wings are lifting more takes flight, you to the sky.
