WEST-EDENS LINK RESIDENTS became refugees Sunday night when a broken sprinkler flooded the two-week-old dorm.

WEL evacuated after flooding

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Linebacker Jamyon Small, the team’s lone senior, was the only Blue Devil who had ever played in a Duke victory.

An exuberant celebration with the students followed the game, and like the losing streak, the goal posts at Wallace Wade Stadium became a thing of the past.

The much awaited success came

Just two weeks after opening its doors, the WestEdens Link closed them Sunday night for almost three hours after suffering severe flood damage from Building B’s fire sprinkler system.

Sprinklers on the building’s sixth floor stayed on for over an hour after a sprinkler head in a residential closet was knocked off. After waiting outside for most of the evening, most residents of the new dorm were eventually allowed to re-enter. The students whose rooms suffered the most extensive damage were forced to stay with friends and will be assigned temporary housing Monday, Duke University Police Sergeant Paul Taylor said.

“Only a handful of rooms on each floor were affected,” WEL Residence Coordinator Stephanie Carter said. “We don’t know where they will be relocated yet.”

Blue Devils hang on to end historic 23-game losing streak

23 As of August 30,

2002, the Duke ECU 16 University football team owned the nation’s longest losing streak in the country.

By August 31 at 9:15 p.m., the Blue Devils were in a four-way tie for first place in the ACC. Duke ended its 23-game drought pouring rain Saturday with a the in

23-16 win over East Carolina behind 109 rushing yards from Alex Wade, a 28-yard interception return from Brendan Dewan, and a 56-yard field goal by Brent Garber.

“This was a great experience for everyone; for the team, for the coaches, for their families, for our families, for Duke, for the city of Durham, and for the ACC to finally not have a team that hasn’t won a

game,” Wade said.

Students cany goal posts to Chapel after Ist win since 1999

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

A 23-game losing streak and a week of rain can create a devil of a celebration.

With nine seconds remaining in Duke’s first football win since 1999, students rushed the field at Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday night, waited impatiently for the official end of the game and then tore down both goal posts amidst a downpour of rain.

A portion of the nearly 1,000 student fans at the game congregated at midfield to meet their victorious Blue Devils, who outpaced the East Carolina Pirates 23-16 in the season opener. Purple and yellow-clad ECU fans quietly filed out of the stadium they mostly filled at game’s, start—by halftime, however, they were balanced out by a sea of blue and white.

With cheers of “undefeated” bellowing, the west upright was the first to go, although it took several minutes and the weight of about a dozen students to make the 30-foot yellow structure give way. The second goal post came crashing to the muddy turf minutes later.

Legions of students then carried pieces of the posts out of the stadium in various directions—some up and See CELEBRATION on page 6

From staffreports An 18-year-old female visitor reported that, between midnight and 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning, while much of the campus was celebrating the football win, she was raped by a 21-year-old male Duke student in his West Campus dorm room.

Police gave few details of the report Sunday, and the case was still under investigation. They would not say whether alcohol was involved, but did indicate the victim probably knew her attacker and that there was no reason to believe she was a potential Duke student.

Officials try to calm West Nile fears

Health authorities assure the public that blood supply and organ donation is safe

By LAWRENCE ALTMAN

New York Times News Service

It will take at least two weeks to determine whether the West Nile Virus was transmitted through organ transplants or blood transfusions to a cluster of four transplant recipients in whom the disease is suspected, federal health officials said Sunday.

In moving to reassure the public that the nation’s blood supply is safe, the health officials said they considered the risk of acquiring West Nile virus the least concern for anyone needing a transfusion or organ transplant. Mathematical modeling studies indicate that the risk of transmitting the virus through blood transfusions is low—-

has risen to 638, including 31 deaths.

Because blood is involved in natural transmission, doctors have theorized that West Nile could be transmitted through transfusions and organ transplants. So about two weeks ago, the health officials said they reminded the nation’s blood banks to enforce a standard procedure—rejecting donations from patients with fever and flu-like symptoms, which could be symptoms of mild West Nile fever.

Federal authorities have amassed WASHINGTON evidence for the first time that an illegal drug operation in the United States was funneling proceeds to Middle East terrorist groups like Hezbollah.

Evidence gathered by the Drug Enforcement Administration since a series ofraids in January indicates that a methamphetamine drug operation in the Midwest involving men of Middle Eastern descent has been shipping money back to terrorist groups, officials said.

“There is increasing intelligence information from the investigation that for the first time alleged drug sales in the United States are going in part to support terrorist organizations in the Middle East,” DEA administrator Asa Hutchinson said.

DEA officials said the men, most of whom were indicted on drug charges after their January arrests, were smuggling large quantities of the chemical pseudoephedrine from Canada into the Midwest.

Officials said the smuggling went through two primary Midwest locations—Chicago and Detroit—and involved several men with ties to Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon and other Middle East countries. There is no evidence that any of the money was connected to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, officials said.

Pseudoephedrine is used in some cold and allergy medications. It is an essential ingredient in the creation of methamphetamine, a powerful and increasingly popular drug known on the streets as “ice,” “poor man’s cocaine” or “crystal methe.” Users generally inject or smoke methe. It is produced by heating about a dozen chemicals.

The Armadillo Grill is implementing changes to its look this fall, in an attempt to fill a campus social void left by the Hideaway’s closure two years ago.

The bar area’s overhaul is the most dramatic physical alteration. Capitalizing on a lack of alcoholic venues on campus, owners hope to make the restaurant a principal nighttime destination for students.

“We realize that students are drawn to places that offer an atmosphere similar to what you would find at an offcampus bar,” said Creed Spriggs, coowner. “That’s what we’re trying to create here. Ideally, people would separate the grill and bar as two completely different thoughts.”

As part ofArmadillo’s new feel, bar manager Jimmy Bennett plans to introduce a new ‘margatini menu,’ including seven different margaritas and ten ‘margatinis,’ mixed drinks made with tequila and various juices. Bennett said

Raleigh’s Armadillo Grill implemented the new drink menu and that it has met with great success.

In addition to the added drinks, Bennett said he hopes to add a more ambitious entertainment schedule. Weekly features may include a ‘pub-quiz’ trivia night, live bands and student a cappella groups. Bennett added that the bar will introduce quiz machines and arcadestyle games to complement the existing

televisions. Additionally, during Monday Night Football, the bar will distribute free chicken wings from kick-off until the first score of the game.

The bar’s decor, which some students have criticized as too plain, has likewise been revamped. “Its status as an evening bar destination for students was [alsol hurt by negative employee

relations, like a bouncer wearing a Maryland shirt at the showing of a Duke-Maryland game,” said Jim Wulforst, director of dining services.

Bennett said that making the bar’s image “bright and spirited” is one of his primary tasks.

“I am trying to fill the space down here with as much Duke paraphernalia as possible. Jerseys, helmets, posters and neon signs—you name it—and it will be up there,” he said. “I think we will become known for our entertainment, not just as another place that has beer.”

Trivia and live entertainment events will be open to all students, but only those students over the age of 21

will be allowed to purchase alcohol.

“Live entertainment will definitely make the Armadillo more appealing,” junior Katie McNabb said. “Even though many students will not be able to drink, I can see it becoming one of those restaurants you will meet all of your friends at and justhang out.”

The restaurant has also added more food choices, such as nachos and burritos.

Co-owner Ben Pace said that he thinks a selling point for the restaurant is that it makes everything fresh.

“Along with these new menu options, I would like people to understand the lengths to which we go to ensure the quality of our food,” he said.

Farm worker supporters gathered for a press conference Sunday in reaction to the University’s announcement that it would lift its boycott of Mt. Olive Pickle Company, which has come under fire for doing business with suppliers accused of unfair and unsafe labor practices.

Speakers voiced two major concerns about the University’s decision, namely that the University failed to consult farm workers, union representatives and students in its deliberations with the company and that it consequently reached an agreement that is both vague and ineffective.

Nick Wood, boycott director for the Farm Labor Organizing Committee, noted in his remarks that although President Nan Keohane visited a farm with Mt. Olive representatives over the summer, she was not accompanied by an interpreter and was therefore unable to communicate with farm workers. Wood further stated that the farm was one known to have abnormally good working conditions.

Triangle Friends of the United Farm Workers chair Joan Preiss echoed Wood’s sentiments. “Instead of putting her faith in the farm workers and the organization they want to represent them, Duke President Nan Keohane has put her faith in Mt. Olive’s [President! Bill Bryan and has entered the University into its own private agreemerit with him,” Preiss said.

To kick off the press conference, fired pickle harvester Mamerto Chai offered a personal account of the abuses against which the boycott was aimed. Chai spoke through a translaSee MI. CLIVE on page 8

CRIME BRIEFS A visitor reported that while her vehicle was parked in the overflow lot on Duke University Road between 8:30 a.m. and 4:40 p.m. Aug. 28, someone broke out the $4OO driver’s door and extended cab windows and stole her $4OO stereo amp, causing $2OO damage to the paint on the driver’s door.

Tools taken An employee reported that between 6:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. Aug. 28, while his vehicle was parked in the RX lot, someone pried the top frame off the right, front window causing $lOO in damage and then stole 200 pieces of a $3OO 241-piece toolset with 1/2”and 3/8” sockets, nut drivers and wrenches—some engraved with initials “CMG”—and a $l3O black Craftsman 16.8 V drill with yellow lettering.

CD player filched Between 8 p.m. Aug. 30 and 7 p.m.

Aug. 31, while a student’s vehicle was parked between Uncle Harry’s and the pool house on Central Campus, someone entered his secured vehicle and stole his $3OO JVC CD player/radio. There were no signs of forced entry.

Purse pilfered An employee reported that between 6:50 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 29, she placed a bookbag containing her purse in the women’s locker room at 3500 Hospital North, from where someone stole the $3 purse that contained $lOO cash, her driver’s license and two $2O concert tickets.

Checks, coffee missing

An employee reported that between Aug. 22 and Aug. 23 two boxes of personal checks valued at $25 were placed in his mailbox and a $lO9 container of Gevalia coffee was placed on top of his mailbox by the mail clerk for the pathol-

ogy department on the third floor of Hospital South. However, he never received

the items.

Book thieved during nap

Between 8 a.m. and 4:41 p.m. Aug. 26, a student reported he fell asleep while studying in the stacks on the second floor of Perkins Library. When he woke up, his bookbag was gone. He found it down the hall from the stacks and one $6O Geology book had been stolen.

Vehicle scratched

A visitor reported that between 5 p.m.

Aug. 27 and 6:30 a.m. Aug. 28, while his vehicle was parked at 2912 West Main St., someone caused several scratches to the hood and left side, amounting to $5O in damage.

Locker entered An employee reported that between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. Aug. 27, he placed his wallet in a locker in Brodie Gym and secured his locker. When he returned, someone had entered his locker and removed $3O cash from his wallet.

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS From staff reports

Subway opening delayed The opening of a new Subway eatery in the West Union Building has been delayed for at least a week because an oven has not yet been delivered to the site.

The new eatery was originally supposed to open Tuesday. ARAMARK Corp., which runs some of the University’s dining facilities, decided to bring in the national sandwich shop chain over the summer in response to student request.

Subway will move into the location formerly occupied by Breyer’s Ice Creafii, which the new eatery will still offer. ARAMARK eliminated its deli in the Great Hall in anticipation of the new Subway and added a cold wrap station.

New vice dean for research announced Dr. Ross McKinney from the Department of Pediatrics has accepted a position as Vice Dean within the School of Medicine. His primary mission will be to enhance the infrastructure and programs that support faculty research.

Among other responsibilities, he will supervise directly the functions of the Institutional Review Board and the Office of Grants and Contracts. Additionally, he will take a leading role in new initiatives relating to information technology,

translational medicine and clinical research resources.

Education Leadership Summit to be broadcast Tonight at 10 p.m., UNC-TV will broadcast an Education Leadership Summit hosted by the University in February.

The Summit brought together current US. Secretary of Education Roderick Paige with former secretaries of education William Bennett, Lauro Cavazos, Lamar Alexander and Richard Riley to examine the state of public education.

The program was produced by UNCTV and Duke’s Center for Child and Family Policy. Center Director Kenneth Dodge and Ann Denlinger, superintendent of Durham Public Schools, hosted the program.

Professor’s Sept. 11 monologue to be performed A monologue by Professor Erin Wilson will be performed Sept. 11 in New York City as part of a three-day event called “Brave New World.” The event provides invited theater artists a forum to express their response to the post-Sept. 11 environment.

The posts made their way to the heart of Main West Campus, the first piece finally nestling between James B. Duke’s cigar and his tweed jacket on the Chapel Quadrangle. A second piece was carried down Chapel Drive and toward East Campus, complete with a police escort.

More pieces ofthe posts then arrived, with the two crossbars finding initial homes on the steps of the Chapel and two more uprights leaning on the facade of the Chapel. Shortly thereafter, the pieces were carted off to other points on campus.

Parking FYI There have been many necessary changes made in allocating and issuing parking permits. The information provided below is intended to help you understand these changes.

•

•

August 15 August 29: Permits purchased online by faculty, staff, and students through August 15 are being distributed. Faculty and staff permits were mailed to their work address on campus. Students who have not picked up their permits may do so at the Parking Office, 2010 Campus Drive. Office hours are 8 a.m. through 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Most commuting grad and undergrad students initially received Perimeter (Duke University Road Lot) permits, and were issued 'temporary' permits in anticipation that many would be relocated to other lots. We are now addressing the needs of students who won graduate school parking lotteries and those commuters who requested other

parking •

Graduate students who have been issued permits through their school's lottery are now being issued their parking permits.

Graduate schools have until August 29 to assign lottery winners. If a graduate student initially purchased a Duke University Road Lot permit, that permit will be cancelled and the student will be issued a new permit.

•

•

•

•

Commuting undergraduates who requested the Blue Zone are now being contacted regarding that assignment. We believe we can meet each of these requests.

Employees who were issued Duke University Road Lot permits will be upgraded to other lots from the waitlist as availability allows.

Beginning Monday, September 2, all permit holders should park in their assigned lots. Gate access for new permits, as well as those expiring 8/31/02, will be changed by September 2. Employees who have personal permits with the imbedded magnetic stripe may use either the permit or their DukeCard for gate access.

August 20 September 30: Space counts will be conducted in all University parking areas. Available spaces will be offered to employees and students who signed up online for an optional permit waitlist, in the order they entered the waitlist.

-

Enforcement for parking violations such as fire lanes and no parking areas is in effect.

Warning citations for vehicles with no permit will begin on September 3. Citations for no permit/expired permit will begin on September 9.

New uprights—costing $2,500 each—have already been ordered and should be back in the ground by Friday, said Mitch Moser, business manager of the athletics department.

“I never thought I would see this, but now that I have, it’s amazing,” said senior Michael Desimone.

Members of the senior class were the last to witness a victory by the 1-0 Blue Devils, who are now just4-30 since that class arrived.

“It’s awesome,” said freshman Laura Serwer. “It’s just my first game, but my sister went here, too, and I had to suffer through it with her.... I had a bet with my friend from [Michigan State University] about who was going to riot first, and I guess we won.”

Some juniors and seniors compared the post-game festivities—which yielded only one reported injury—to those following the 2001 men’s basketball national championship. The most notable difference between the two celebrations was the lack of bonfires—impossible because of the heavy rain that fell over the past week, making benches as inflammable as the goal posts.

Other upperclassmen said younger students who have not yet experienced an early April bonfire or a complete football season still have much to learn.

Freshmen, however, were reeling from their first big win as Duke students.

“We made a decision before the game to go to all the games this year, but I think now we’re going to have to go to every game, all four years,” said freshman Russ Ferguson.

Added fellow Class of 2006 member Shawn Donilon, “It is probably the greatest sporting event I’ve ever been to. We’re just ready for a 12-0 season.”

As the rain continued to pour, students made their ways to their dorms to continue celebrating the victory—for the first time in a long time, one not captured on the hardcourt.

Dave Ingram and Amir Mokari contributed to this story.

REPORTED RAPE from page 1 police would not release his name. Major Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department said the victim had gone to the hospital but appeared to be physically all right.

“The sad and challenging part of the situation is we know that acquaintance rapes like this happen far more often than reported,” Dean of Students and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek said.

To avoid such situations, Wasiolek recommended that students be cautious about alcohol consumption, substances in their drinks, where their friends are, and if their friends make it home safely.

She said the University’s role in protecting students from such situations is primarily educational, but that party monitors should also help.

“We ask party monitors to be aware of guests at a party, particularly women who appear to be intoxicated,” Wasiolek said. “But in situations where students are isolated in their own rooms and two students are behind closed doors, it is hard to be certain ofwhat is going on.”

Last year, the University began requiring the presence of trained student monitors at registered oncampus parties. Officials would not say, however, where the reported rape took place.

Football update

Still savoring Saturday's win, Carl Franks looks ahead to next weekend's game against Louisville.

Saturday Sept. 7, 7 p.m.

Wallace Wade Stadium Having snapped their 23-game losing streak, the Blue Devils look to win back-to-back games for the first time since Sept. 12, 1998, when head coach Fred Goldsmith lead Duke to a 4-7 record in his final season. In their matchup against the Cardinals, the* Blue Devils will need to contain Louisville quarterback Dave Ragone, who was Conference USA's offensive player of the year in 2000 and 2001. Louisville was 11-2 last season, including a 28-10 victory over BYU in the Liberty Bowl.

McCluskey’s golden goal lifts Duke over Tennessee Blue Devils upend No. 15 Volunteers before dropping hard-fought contest to No. 5 Texas

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle In its first two games of the year, Duke 2 Duke managed to split matches Tennessee 1 against two highly touted teams, Tennessee and Texas. The first game of the weekend s set was Friday night at Koskinen stadium. A downpour of rain saturated the field well before the game began and did not stop until the Blue Devils left victorious after an overtime goal by sophomore

Casey McCluskey.

The Volunteers and Blue Devils left the field after 90 minutes tied at 1-1. They came back for a sudden death overtime that only lasted four minutes before Duke put an end to the game with a quick offensive surge. Freshman Carolyn Riggs sprinted behind the Tennesse defense, which she had done all game long, and crossed the ball to McCluskey just outside the 6yard box. McCluskey’s first attempt was blocked by goalie Ellen Dean but the Duke midfielder was able to retrieve the ball and volley it into the far corner.

The Blue Devils opened the overtime with an overwhelming amount of energy—which Tennesse could only sustain for a few minutes. Freshman Carmen Bognanno said her team has a certain agenda this season if they reach overtime.

“Last season this team lost four games in overtime and we are not going to lose in overtime this year,” Bognanno said. “It’s one of our main goals. If we get to overtime, that’s our game and we’re going to win it.”

Duke jumped ahead within five minutes of the opening whistle when Bognanno netted a goal with a pass from forward Brigid Bowdell. The play over the next 40 minutes of the first half was controlled as much by the weather as it was by the players. Most of the balls played in the air skidded past their intended receivers or landed out of bounds.

Both the Volunteers and the Blue Devils decided to use the ground game to minimize the effect of the

slick field conditions. McCluskey, Duke’s best offensive threat this year, noted the difference in her team’s strategy to start the game.

“We decided we would come out and play passes really direct,” McCluskey said. “In the beginning it was really hectic.”

The second half began with multiple scoring opportunities for the Blue Devils. A frenzy in the 18yard box led to two consecutive headers with Junior Gwendolyn Oxenham’s shot being stopped by Dean.

VICTORY MARKS ERR OF L More than 150 days of wading through floodwaters brought many blessings to Noah, as the earth experienced unprecedented prosperity and growth when the waters finally receded.

According to the story, the flood had washed evil from the world so humans could begin with a fresh start, a clean slate—a new attitude.

It is fitting, then, that on the last day of the nation’s longest winning drought, the Pirates of East Carolina were sunk by a less ethereal sea of blue—that of a Duke team and student body vindicated from national mockery and internal pessimism.

When Duke received the opening kickoff, the Duke student section was sparsely populated at best. As the game wore on, however Duke’s student body gradually crept into Wallace Wade StadiV*

At the onset of the fourth quarter, just Corey Game Commentary as Alex Wade was rumblmg his way through, over, around, and even with East Carolina defenders, Duke students pulled out their cellphones telling friends scattered around West Campus to hightail it over to the stadium.

“Get over here—now. We’re about to win. Yes, a football game. Turn off the TV and put down your beer. We’re gonna go crazy!”

Don’t mind if we do.

“It was great to see them excited,” quarterback Chris Dapolito said. “We’re not really used to that.”

Duke’s students surrounded a quarter of the field with nine seconds remaining, jumping up and down just waiting for their moment of glory. Or rather, the team’s moment of glory. Or was it for the coaches? Or for Duke? Or for Durham?

“This was a great experience for everyone; for the team, for the coaches, for their families, for our families, for Duke, for the city of Durham, and for the ACC to finally not have a team that hasn’t won a game,” Wade said. “This was the greatest experience I’ve ever been a part of on the football field.”

What ensued was a Rudy-like ending for a program that is accustomed to being earned off the field on stretchers, not shoulders. Wade led a stampede of his teammates toward the elated student body, which charged fearlessly towards the rejuvenated Blue Devils. They ....

“It was very disappointing losing that game,” Troth said. “It stings a little bit.

We got a lot of learning to do.”

Among other things, the Pirates needed to learn how to adjust to a surprisingly quick and overpowering defense.

“The defense really helped us a lot and set us up with good field position,” said Franks. “I’m really proud of the defensive coaches. They had a great game plan.”

Blue Devils tie Crusaders, breeze past Eagles

DAVE LEWIS/THE CHRONICLE

JUSTIN BODIYA opened the scoring against Georgia Southern with a goal in the 41st minute.

By MIKE COREY The Chronicle The play of the men’s soccer team Duke 3 that of the weather this paralleled GSU 0 weekend, as Duke struggled to a tie in the rain against Holy Cross on Friday before dismantling a scrappy Georgia Southern team in drier conditions on Sunday afternoon.

The Blue Devils controlled Georiga Southern from the opening whistle, coming away with a 3-0 victory.

“It was a great win for us,” Rennie said. “We had two injured starters... so we were forced to use a lot of players today. Everybody that played played very well.”

Duke’s attack began immediately with the Blue Devils taking two comers and a bevy of shots in the first four minutes of the game. The Eagles retaliated early on as they would do the entire game—aggressively. This play resulted in myriad play stoppages, as the referee spent as much time accosting Eagles players as he did officiating the game. Four different Georgia Southern players were handed yellow cards throughout the contest.

The Eagles had their best scoring opportunity with twenty minutes left in the first half when Tony Moffat sneaked through Duke’s defense and had only to get by goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge. Moffat was unable to evade Trowbridge, who charged toward him and slide tackled the ball to the left side of the field. It was one of just four shots Georgia Southern would take on the day.

“It was a knock around play, and it popped out in front of the box,” Trowbridge said. “He just hit the ball into me.”

Duke would get on the board at the 40:18 mark off a quick restart on the Eagles’ side of the field. Off a foul from an Eagle, freshman lan Carey set the ball down and punched it through a stagnant Eagle defense apparently waiting for more scolding from the referee. Junior Justin Bodiya collected the ball and kicked a roller into the right side of the goal.

The Blue Devils scored just two minutes later on a fast break goal led by freshman Danny Kramer.

“I figured I’d make the run, and lan [Carey] made a

*

great pass,” Kramer said. “I knew if I made the run I could beat the keeper.”

Rennie was very impressed with the play of his highly-touted freshman class.

“Danny is one of quite a few freshmen who are doing extremely well for us,” Renny said.

Kramer would continue his stellar performance by assisting two-time All-ACC honoree Jordan Cila for the Blue Devil’s third and final goal on the day.

“I was looking to put the ball to the left side,” Kramer said. “I knew Jordan would get the rebound or I would put it in.”

On his first collegiate goal and assist, Kramer’s onthe-field poise and maturity was—well deservedly—replaced with freshman awe and elation.

“It’s just exciting,” Kramer said. “I didn’t even know I was going to play that much coming in.”

Trowbridge scored his first career collegiate shutout with the victory. Friday, Duke battled Holy Cross to a 1-1 double overtime tie. Duke trailed for most of the game despite outshooting the Crusaders 23-8.

Sophomore scoring sensation Owoicho “Nigie” Adogwa kept Duke in the game when he blasted a header into the bottom left comer of the goal in the 82nd minute. His aerial prowess and fancy footwork won over fans at Koskinen Stadium Friday evening, as he dove and slid on the grass in celebration of Duke’s tying goal.

“Nigie is a very hard-working, aggressive player who will challenge for anything,” Rennie said.

Duke will look to return to its winning ways in 2002 after suffering its worst season in 24 years under Rennie when it finished 8-10-1 in 2001.

Bulls clinch South Division, advance to playoffs

By JEFF VERNON The Chronicle

All in all, it has been a good year for the Durham Bulls. As the organization—the Tampa Bay Devil Rays’ Triple-A affiliate—celebrates its 100th anniversary, it also looks to celebrate a successful season. The Bulls, by virtue of a 7-1 victory over the Richmond Friday night, clinched the International League’s Southern Division title and assured themselves a playoff berth.

In discussing the reasons behind the ball club’s success, talk drifted away from individual achievement,

instead focusing on baseball fundamentals and the balanced contribution of different parts of the team.

“It’s a team thing,” Bulls manager Bill Evers said.

“They all contributed. It really was a team effort throughout the course of the year.”

Outfielder Jason Tyner voiced similar sentiments.

“We’re not a real big, power-hitting team,” Tyner said. “Our pitchers throw good, we play good defense, and we have a lot of speed.”

De-emphasizing the role of individuals made sense for a team, like most minor league clubs, that dealt with the loss of many of its best players. In particular, the Devil Rays’ July 20 decision to call up IL rookie-ofthe-year outfielder Carl Crawford and infielder Andy Sheets left the Bulls with a dearth of offensive power.

Both players played in this year’s Triple-A all-star game, and both had batting averages near .300.

The Bulls’ offense had already sustained a formidable blow in mid-June; catcher Toby Hall, who

started the season in Tampa Bay, played 20 games with the Bulls in May and June, hitting .348 with 2 home runs and 20 RBI before being recalled by his major league team. A week before returning to Tampa, Hall homered in the 12th inning to lead the Bulls to victory, then, the next day, had an RBI-single in the 13th frame to deliver another extra-innings victory. The Bulls were 20-7 with Hall on the roster, including a season-high seven-game winning streak in June.

Losing Hall, Crawford and Sheets helps to explain the difference between the strength ofthe team during the first half of the season and its relative Vulnerabil-

Dating back to last season, the team has now won 13 of its past 14 regular season matches, and appears poised to continue the success of last year’s 23-5, ACC championship campaign.

“It was a great win for us and a great way to start the season,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We have a lot of work ahead, but we really reaped the benefits of our hard work during

The same Blue Devils stepped up against the Braves, with Sonne and Vander Griend leading the way. The success against Bradley was augmented

The success may be familiar, but the team has changed during the off season, despite the return of four starters. Senior tri-captains Jill Sonne, Rachel Vander Griend and Josie Weymann welcome six newcomers, including five freshmen, to the 15-player squad.

By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle Duke 4 The field hockey team opened its season with Delaware 2 back-to-back victories on the road this weekend, culminating in Sunday’s 4-2 defeat of Delaware.

“I am really pleased with this weekend,” head coach Liz Tchou said.

“I am proud of our kids because they stuck with the game plan and—for the most part—stayed consistent in their ability to make decisions and move the ball around.”

The team found themselves down 1-0 after Delaware’s Katie Kelly scored 15:35 into the game.The Blue Devils responded with three consecutive goals, precipitated by freshman Nicole Dudek’s shot five minutes later.

“When Delaware scored, it was a wake-up call for us,” senior tri-captain Sarah Wright said. “We were really angry and that enabled us to put in three goals.”

Just 38 seconds later, Kim Gogola notched her first goal of the season on a lift off the corner after assists by Katie Grant and Johanna Bischof.

“Kim followed the game plan nicely,” Tchou said. “She played really solidly and distributed the ball well.”

Stacey Tsougas then scored off Bischof s assist to put Duke up 3-1.

The Fightin’ Blue Hens narrowed Duke’s lead to one with Kim Wagaman’s goal. The Blue Devils’ Katie Grant then sealed the victory for Duke

with her unassisted goal with just under 20 minutes left in the game.

Duke outshot Delaware 15-10, and drew five more penalty comers. Goalkeeper Erica Perrier recorded four saves.

“One of our greatest strengths was that we took more shots than Delaware,” Tchou said. “We were making the goalie play shot after shot, which is a change from last year. We also drew more corners.”

In Saturday’s action, Duke shut out La Salle 4-0. Midfielder Gracie Sorbello scored the first goal of the season to put the Blue Devils up by one at the half.

Kim Van Kirk then netted consecutive goals at the 35:36 and 47:17 marks.

Grant closed out the game when her goal put Duke up 4-0 with 6:25 left in

the contest.

The Blue Devils recorded 17 shots in the first half and 14 in the second half of the matchup. Defensively, Perrier

registered one save and Wright had a

defensive save.

“Sarah was a leader in the game,” Tchou said. “She stepped up and played with a lot of urgency, as if she was on a mission.”

MT. OLIVE from page 3

ity of the farm workers’ lives “Requiring suppliers and growers to sign statements of compliance affirming that they will follow the law goes no further than the claims Mt. Olive has said its suppliers are already required to do,” Wood said.

“The history of farm workers in the U.S. has shown that simply enacting tougher laws has never meant that they’ve been enforced.”

John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, did not attend the conference, but responded that the burden of monitoring the supplier farms will fall on Mt. Olive.

“They didn’t have any compliance statements before. One assumes that we’re going to have a much stricter set of controls than existed in the past,” Burness said. “Are they perfect? I don’t know that anything is perfect, but I think we need to wait and see how it works.”

tor, recounting how his crew leader at

a Princeton, N.C., farm refused to drive him to the hospital for what turned out to be appendicitis.

“I told him that I couldn’t pick cucumbers that day... and he said that I was probably drunk,” Chai said.

Chai spoke ofother abuses as well, including his crew leader’s refusal to pay workers what they were owed for their labor and the workers’ subjection to physical threats.

“He would come to our trailers with his gun and say that he could kill us, that he could kill anyone,” Chai said. “He would always threaten us. I don’t know why we were working for him.”

WEL FLOODS from m i Most of the 350-person WEL incurred flood damage, said maintenance workers who were on the scene. Officials believed a change in water pressure—not fire—set off the sprinklers when they originally went off around 10 p.m., but they did not turn off the water until after 11 p.m. for procedural reasons, Taylor said.

The sixth-floorresident of the room where the accident occurred—who asked that she not be named for fear of retaliation—said black chemical fluid spewed from her closet’s sprinkler after she hit it with a towel she was putting on the top shelf. Water then began to stream from the sprinklers both in her bedroom and in the sixth-floor halls.

Although officials said the water from the hall sprinklers spread to other rooms on the floor and to other floors via the elevator shaft and stairwells, that bedroom was the only one in which sprinklers went off.

When the resident’s roommate went to see the room with police officers about 10 minutes after the sprinklers went off, she said the water was about four feet high. She said she did not know how much higher it had risen before officials turned it off One of their hallmates, sophomore Jenn Morales, said that when she heard the fire alarm, she thought someone was playing a joke.

“I was in my room and heard screaming and thought people were just messing around,” Morales said. “I opened the door to yell at people to stop and saw the water coming down and I didn’t know if it was a fire. I just put a towel in front of my door and left.”

ABORTIO

IT’S SAFE. IT’S PRIVATE

•

JANEHETHERINGTON AND JEFF BURLIN/THE CHRONICLE

WATER SEEPS ALONG FLOORS (LEFT) in one of the least damaged parts of the West-Edens Link, while DUKE POLICE OFFICERS inspect the interior of the building. Displaced students will receive temporary housing Monday, officials said.

Other residents witnessed the flooding farther

away from the source. “I just went and looked through the windows,” junior David French said. “Everything is soaked. There are puddles in the hallways [of the lower floors] with waves, like streams.”

While residents waited outside, many complained officials were not communicating with them what was going on.

“They are not keeping us well-informed of the situation at hand,” sophomore Lauren Smith said. “We don’t know if the water is off yet. We don’t know if the administration will pay for our stuff.”

Ironically, Building B serves as the “linked house” for the all-freshman Randolph Dormitory, which suffered similar flooding last spring after someone al-

legedly vandalized the fire alarm.

“It’s routine,” said WEL and former Randolph resident Geoff Lorenz, a sophomore. “Randolph is cursed.”

of Central North Carolina, Inc.

Residents said Sunday night that the University did not pay for the damage they incurred last year and in fact charged their bursar accounts. Many students voiced concerns that they may have to pay for the damage caused by the hour-long sprinkling.

In addition to valuables, students worried about books and work being lost, though last year students in Randolph received dean’s excuses. Other students approached being locked out from their rooms opti-

mistically.

“It’s a good excuse not to do homework, but what isn’t?” junior David Parrott said.

Smith kept perspective while enduring the evacuation and the wait.

“No one died—everyone’s alive,” she said. “The worst thing that happened is books and things like that are wet. But we are all able to watch. Still, it

kinda sucks.”

Letters to the editor

U.S.’s past atrocities show why we are against ICC

Anti-sweatshop success

Last

week’s twin announcements that Duke has renewed contracts with Mt. Olive Pickle Company and the New Era Cap Company were the latest installment in the University’s ongoing struggle to improve working conditions at companies with Duke contracts. Possibly ending two protracted conflicts over workers’ rights, this latest news brings a mix ofvictory and disappointment.

The New Era announcement was expected after workers at the company’s Derby, N.Y., plant ratified a new contract in June.

Nevertheless, it represents the culmination of years spent monitoring factories and fighting for improved working conditions. When the University did not renew its contract last November—citing allegations of anti-union activity and an unsafe working environment—it was the first such move since Duke began enforcing a code of conduct with its licensees in spring 2000. Continued pressure on the company, followed by a resolution that supports workers and then by a resumption of the contract is exactly the pattern the University should follow in holding corporations accountable. Intercollegiate watchdog groups like the Workers’ Rights Consortium and the Fair Labor Association will still need to monitor New Era, but students and administrators should see this as a validation of their anti-sweatshop efforts.

The Mt. Olive matter is less significant in size and scope, and the University’s handling of the contract is less cut and dry. On the surface, President Nan Keohane’s support ofthe boycott, her subsequent negotiations with the company and the resulting agreement follow the model established during the apparel protests. But the vague wording ofthe agreement and its lack ofreal teeth mean that the lives of workers will not necessarily change. There are no concrete enforcement mechanisms to ensure the “Statements of Compliance” are valid. More than anything, this points to the need for greater monitoring of farms by state agencies, but it also calls into question Duke’s claim that the agreement breaks new ground.

Keohane and other administrators should have contacted concerned students before reaching any agreement. One of the reasons the apparel model worked so well is that students were consulted at every level. Students have shown a strong commitment to working through the complexities of improving workers’ rights, and their input likely would have resulted in a better agreement. Moreover, the administration is dampening the intellectual engagement of students by excluding them from the conversation.

That Mt. Olive has been the only recent target of groups like Students Against Sweatshops remains an uncomfortable part of this discussion. For practical reasons, the group and the University need to concentrate their efforts if they hope to make a difference, but Mt. Olive surely is not the only agricultural company facing labor concerns among suppliers. Duke has expressed a willingness to boycott other companies should sufficient evidence ofworker abuse arise. As Keohane hinted at in her statement, a broader discussion ofworkers’ conditions should replace a seemingly random targeting of Mt. Olive.

It may be too early to tell if either the Mt. Olive or New Era case will have a lasting impact for workers, but the University is headed in the right direction. Administrators just need to back up their strong words to ensure better lives for workers.

What doesn’t kill me makes me...what?

Throughout the late-night session I learn an array of things about her, events from which I wanted to recoil away.

I learn about a barrage of suicide attempts, both her own and her mother’s. I watch as she taps the floor, diagramming how she had once laid out long, multi-colored lines of pills, debating whether she should simply swallow everything in sight. I listen-as she describes how hellish life can be with full-blown bipolar disorder.

The only thing worse then absorbing each revelation is that throughout our three hours, there is one emotion absent from my collection of feelings—shock. _

One moment in particular shattered my views on pain. It was during the spring of my freshman year, and I sat by the pond in Duke Gardens and listened to my then-girlfriend, who suf-

fered from acute post-traumatic stress disorder, recount her latest flashback.

In my efforts to be the considerate person I thought myself to be, I offered this gem of advice. “Don’t worry,” I said encouragingly. “Now you will just be that much stronger.”

Pause. Turn.

Her eyes looked into mine with a layered texture of emotions that will be forever etched into my memory, a stunning combination of disgust and

explicitness.

Beaten with frying pan by father;

lost mother to an agonizing two-year battle with breast cancer; regularly performed acts of self-mutilation, including cutting face and wrists; overdosed using Tylenol, resulting in permanent liver damage; nearly dying after ingesting the recreational drug GHB; woken up in middle of the night by best friend calling to say goodbye and that he was attempting suicide; endured rape and other sexual abuse by multiple boyfriends.

There’s more, but... well, you get the

fatigue crossed with a flicker of what was briefly bemusement but soon gave way to quiet fury.

Her eyes spoke more than her words, and their gist was this: True pain and true fear have no beneficial effect. They are crippling in their devastation, and rather than philosophize about their nobility, one is best served hoping that you never experience them.

The lesson from that night, one that has sadly been reaffirmed countless times since, is that so many of us are simply flat-out mistaken. We think that our own pain is so unique, and we praise ourselves for our ability to cope.

The bitter truth, though, is that we just don’t know what we’re talking about.

picture.

You know, when I was in middle and high school, I thought I knew what pain was. I remember how it felt to get pushed around in the hallways, punched and kicked in the bathrooms and to cry myself asleep because I so dreaded going to school the next day.

As I got older, I felt so proud of myself as I bulked up in the weight room, developed more confidence and finally got girls to notice me. I felt as if I richly embodied the Nietzschian philosophy of hardship. Whatever hadn’t killed me had made me stronger.

Indeed, I was so tough, I had used pain as a tool.

Perkins Library, Duke’s best and -C brightest stand up and proclaim: / TL . V “DUKE READS.” Despite some critics, the Duke wV Reads program has been what seems to be an outstanding success, with SECOND Duke’s most notable citizens taking pi mniAXi part in the program. Next session’s participant will include our war-hungry and fearlessly illiterate President Monday, Monday Bush (Bush apparently signed his application George W., not realizing that he had a last name). On a sadder note, Bill Burig entered the acceptance lottery for the program and unfortunately lost.

But hey, somebody has to lose these lotteries, right?

Burig later said, “I am motivated by a strong desire to read all the fan mail that is sent to me every spring that I can’t read yet.” I think we would all agree that ignorance is truly bliss. Another applicant, Mike Dunleavy, sent in an application which was found lost in the depths of the Duke postal system with a note asking if someone could please tell him who “Nba” was and what the word “draft” means.

The most noteworthy participant in this past group of graduates from the Duke Reads program was our Another success story according to the posters in president, Nan Keohane. Shocking? Yes. I am sure upon Perkins is our very own John Hope Franklin, professor reading that, there will be a collective slapping ofheads emeritus of history, who has also started reading. as Duke’s student body says aloud (in mild language).

The original spanned many pages. Word order was also altered for coherency purposes) Billy “Beef Sticks” Jones, was also a member of the Duke Reads program. In an exclusive interview with Beef Sticks, he said that he was upset that he didn’t have a picture on the wall of the library. Beef Sticks, as friends refer to him, also claimed that durmg one of the initial tests, Nan tried to cheat off of him. According to Duke Reads founder, the man formerly known as Chef Pete, things then went sour, “Nan had a natural tendency to push people around, and she sort of ganged the class up against BJ At the time we sort of shrugged it off saying, ‘Presidents will be presidents.’” And, although showing initial high scores, Billy Jones sadly left the program after the fourth week.

Reynolds Price has also started reading. This may not mean that much to you until I explain something. Reynolds Price is none other then a James B Duke Professor of English! I always knew that all those English majors were faking it. Seriously, do you really think Shakespeare would have written something like, “Tis pity she’s a w--.” Of course not' Shakey, as his friends used to call him, was actually best known for his bad pickup lines. His perennial favorite was the old (over-used at the time) “I’d like to Trojan Horse your city gates.” ”
