Candidates’ responses to the fast pace of growth and development in the county has been more varied. County commissioner Ellen Reckhow supports the current regulations on industrial and residential growth.

“I think our growth controls are quite reasonable, in light of the fact that most of Durham County is in sensitive watershed areas,” said Reckhow, who is also seeking reelection. “I think it’s essential for us to be sure we are doing everything possible to protect those drinking water supplies Libertarian candidate Hal Noyes, however, said he thinks some growth regulations are too stringent. “To me, [urban] sprawl is the American dream,” he said. ”

Campus life VP gets to know Duke Commuters say remote lots full

By CHRISTINA NG The Chronicle

Zoila Airall’s “heart and soul” is in the lives of students, making it only natural that she moved to Duke this summer to take a leading position in a revamped Division of Student Affairs.

Formerly the director of institutional diversity at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, Airallrecently ascended to the position of assistant vice president for student affairs, joining Sue Wasiolek at that position. Airall will help manage many of Student Affairs’ smaller centers and said she came to Durham because she missed working regularly with students.

“At Bryn Mawr, I felt like I was operating in a confine. I was pigeon-holed,” Airall said. “I am student-centered, and I feel [student affairs is] where I can do my best work. I love that people here have been so open. I am truly struck by the warmth and welcoming of this campus.”

She said her first impressions ofDuke’s cultural climate have been positive, but she added that the University could improve its percentages of represented minorities and ethnicities.

Airall said Duke’s cultural agenda differs from that of Bryn Mawr, an all-female liberal arts college. But she said her past experience is still applicable to her new responsibilities.

“At Bryn Mawr, I was able to see how communities form. It will enable me to see new possibilities [at Duke],” Airall said.

Diversity, culture and the community will continue to be a significant part of AiralTs professional fife at Duke. As assistant vice president, Airall will oversee the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, the Women’s Center, the Community Service Center, the International House, the Multicultural Center and the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life.

By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

ZOILA AIRALL, assistant vice president for student affairs, will work with various student groups at Duke.

Despite the creation of two new parking lots on Duke University Road, students and employees alike reported frustration with the availability and location of parking for commuters.

The gravel-topped dirt perimeter lots have been consistently full after 9 a.m., commuters said, causing headaches for Duke community members who purchased the lots’ $lO permit but typically arrive later in the day.

“For the past two weeks, only once or twice have I been able to get a spot, because I got here before 9,” said Cat Saleeby, Trinity ’OO, who works in the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections section of Perkins Library. “But after 9 it’s fall.”

Saleeby said she parked in the area When it was a dirt lot and is upset that now she has to purchase a permit and is less likely to find a spot.

Court allows Palestinian expulsion

The Israeli army wields the power to expel relatives of suspected terrorists

By STEVE WEIZMAN The Associated Press

JERUSALEM Israel’s Supreme Court gave the army a new tool in its two-year struggle against Palestinian violence Tuesday, allowing it to expel Palestinians from the West Bank to Gaza for aiding terrorist suspects.

In the first case of its kind, the court upheld the expulsion of two relatives of a terror suspect, but overturned an order against a third person, ruling that expulsion must be limited only to relatives directly involved in terror attacks.

Palestinians called for foreign intervention to stop the Israeli practice, while human rights groups said

it violates international law, particularly the Geneva Conventions.

Israel said the two, a brother and sister of a suspected terrorist, would be taken to Palestinian Authority territory on the edge of the Gaza Strip Wednesday. Palestinian officials said they would stay in a hotel and then move to a housing project in Gaza City.

In a separate development, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dropped his earlier opposition to allowing the Palestinian parliament to convene in the West Bank town of Ramallah but said the ban stands for legislators he deems involved in terror. The parliament is debating whether to approve the

new Palestinian Cabinet and consider reform measures.

Sharon said a change is appearing among the Palestinians, who “are realizing that we cannot be defeated by force, and this can certainly be an opening to our restoring calm.” Sharon was addressing Is-

raeli police.

Also Tuesday, Israeli troops killed two Palestinians walking near a Jewish settlement in the West Bank.

A military official said soldiers saw one of the men carrying a weapon and fired a tank shell at him. Palestinians said both men were supposedly unarmed.

Progress marks end of World Summit

By RACHEL SWARNS

New York Times News Service

After a week of inJOHANNESBURG, South Africa tensive negotiations, diplomats at the World Summit on Sustainable Development arrived at a plan early Wednesday morning intended to reduce poverty and preserve the Earth’s natural resources.

The breakthrough came after diplomats worked late into Tuesday night to resolve a dispute over language in the conference’s plan on health care for women.

Canada wanted the words “in conformity with human rights and fundamental freedoms” linked to health care to avoid condoning practices like female genital mutilation in poor countries. Developing countries initially opposed the language, but they backed down early this morning.

“We’re very pleased,” said Kelly Morgan, a spokesperson for the Canadian delegation, speaking in an interview early Wednesday. “We are finished.”

The plan is meant to set the international community’s agenda for coming years. It calls on nations to reduce by half the number of poor people who lack sanitation by 2015, to commit to sound management of chemicals with the goal of minimizing their adverse effects on health and nature by 2020, and to reduce significantly the num-

ber of endangered animals and plants by 2010.

The plan calls for the reduction of agricultural subsidies in wealthy countries, which protect farmers in the United States and Europe poor nations’ competition. It also urges nations to promote renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and the expansion of energy services access to the poor.

GPSC overturns charter at meeting

By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle Hoping to start the year with greater clarity, the Graduate and Professional Student Council overturned its former charter Tuesday in its first meeting this fall.

GPSC officers worked to amend the document over the summer but decided to rewrite the entire charter rather than revise it piece by piece.

GPSC President Rob Saunders said the group’s previous charter had five primary flaws: a lack of nomenclature, missing definitions of duties and purposes, no inclusion ofchanges from past years, an absence of procedures and an inaccurate reflection of the current organization.

“One of the difficulties of leaving [the specifics] out is we reinvent the wheel every year,” Saunders said.

“This way I don’t necessarily have to know everything [GPSCI has done over the past years to understand the purpose of it.”

The new charter defines the body as a general assembly and splits the external and internal affairs between the president and vice president, respectively, as well as specifying the purposes of the atlarge positions.

“We are trying to increase the number of committees and decrease the number of people on each committee so we can give them more specific purposes,” said Saunders, a third-year physics graduate student.

The new charter also includes caucuses, mostly school-based, which Saunders hoped would gain clarity and definition this year as they lobbied administrators through the specific schools. A few members expressed some concern about the specificity of the charter.

“The more specific jobs you give people to do, the harder it is for them to do it,” said Will Tyson, a See GPSC CHARTER on page 10

BELMONT APARTMENT RESIDENTS, who has previously anticipated being part of an off-campus Duke bus route, will now have to walk, drive or take a Durham transit bus.

Belmont residents won’t get bus

By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle Causing disappointment and commuting hassles for many off-campus students, parking and transit officials have decided to scrap a plan, at least temporarily, that would have created a bus route to a popular Durham apartment complex.

Students who live at the Belmont Apartments had anticipated being able to ride Duke buses to campus after administrators announced this summer that they would run buses to a planned park-and-ride lot on Hills-

borough Road.

The bus route from the lot would have passed by the apartments on the way to West Campus every 15 to 30 minutes.

But the University ended up building parking lots on Duke University Road instead, canceling plans for the park-and-ride lot and therefore the bus

route, said Catherine Reeve, director of parking and

transportation.

“The purpose of that park-and-ride lot was for the overflow of the Maxwell [Street] parking lot,” she said.

“We were able to work out something closer to campus.”

Duke Student Government officials, however, hold out hope they will eventually get an off-campus commuting bus running.

“This route is supposed to reduce the crunch for parking,” said Joshua Jean-Baptiste, Duke Student Government president and a senior. “It will be coming into fruition in the next few weeks. All the pieces didn’t fit, but now it’s coming together. I would like to say it is coming, but I can’t say exactly when.”

Mouse cancer gene offers human target The Ras gene, now understood to be instrumental in causing pancreatic cancer, is forcing a reevaluation of the methods of cancer research.

By MALAVIKA PRABHU The Chronicle

The discovery that a gene known for causing cancer in mice also plays a role in human cancer is leading scientists to reconsider how they target their research.

Researchers at Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have uncovered a previously undetected cancer-causing pathway of the Ras gene, a major cancer-causing

agent in pancreatic cancer. Although research on the gene, which had been studied only in mice, could hold a bright future for the development of anti-cancer drugs, researchers say a more immediate concern highlights the limitations of relying on mouse models in the laboratory.

The Ras study began two years ago when Christopher Counter—assistant professor of pharmacology

and cancer Biology as well as radiation and oncology—realized that Ras caused different types of cancer in mice and in humans.

“If you look at the cancers associated with Ras, the result [in humans] was different with the kinds of cancers you modeled with Ras [in mice],” said Counter, who headed the research project. In humans, Ras is partly responsible for thyroid, lung and colon cancer and causes 90 percent of pancreatic cancer. By contrast, the gene does not cause pancreatic cancer, but rather breast and skin cancer in mice.

The research team, which paired the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center with UNC’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, discovered that Ras communicates with a previ-

Counter emphasized that although the newly found pathway exists in mice, it was overlooked because of the minor role the pathway plays in that organism.

Research collaborator Bob Abraham, director of the Durham Cancer Research Center in La Jolla, Calif., cautioned about mouse models because of this oversight.

“Mouse models have limits that

haven’t been recognized previously,”

Abraham said.

Counter believed that his team’s recently completed research was “on line” with research in other labs to reinvestigate pathways previously thought to be understood.

Abraham added that research situations such as theirs “point out limitations on relying extensively on rodent models” and that time would soon tell See CANCER GENE on page 9

City council discusses drought Durham officially congratulates Duke football

By JOSH NIMOCKS The Chronicle

Durham’s water conservation efforts and a new report on locations for affordable housing dominated the discussion of Tuesday

ANDREA OLAND/THE CHRONICLE

Fire! Fire!

Several students, employees and faculty evacuated Perkins Library Tuesday morning after the fire alarm went off in a planned drill.

Planning Director of Housing Bonnie Estes and Housing Community Development Director Charlene Montford addressed the concerns, saying that an inventory on existing subsidized housing, census data from 2000, information on inclusionary zoning, and a review of the exemptions will all be available in November. In addition, a session for public participation will occur in February, a month before the final draft of the policy revision is due.

Council members stressed the importance of including in the policy the controversial practice of inclusionary zoning, which requires that additional affordable housing be built wherever new development occurs.

Such a measure spreads the affordable housing all over the city instead of concentrating it in just a few areas.

Officials presented new data on the progress of the drought and the effects of recent rain. Following the significant amount of rainfall over Labor Day weekend, water levels rose at the Lake Michie and Little River Lake reservoirs, officials reported. The city, however, remains at Stage 111 of the Water Conservation Ordinance, a moderate level of mandatory restrictions on activities such as car washing or serving water in restaurants without request.

Senate commences debate over homeland security

By CURT ANDERSON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON The Senate kicked off a contentious debate Tuesday on President George W. Bush’s blueprint for a Homeland Security Department, with Democrats flatly rejecting White House demands for greater management flexibility over the agency’s estimated 170,000 employees.

The White House responded with a statement repeating Bush’s vow to veto the Senate measure, largely over the worker dispute.

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle called Bush’s proposal “a power grab of unprecedented magnitude” that would undermine the nonpolitical government civil service system and threaten labor union rights and protections for onethird ofthe current workers.

-

“We’re not going to roll over when it comes to principles and beliefs we hold to be very, very important,” said

Daschle, D-S.D. The White House and its Republican congressional allies also dug in their heels. Tom Ridge, the president’s point man on homeland security, said the new department needs broader powers to hire, fire, promote or demote and pay employees—and waive union rights in

matters of national security—to meet emerging terrorist threats.

“The president has indicated it’s not just a matter of reconfiguring letterheads and addresses,” Ridge told reporters after meeting privately with Republican senators.

The Senate GOP leader, Trent Lott of Mississippi, predicted that Bush would bring enough political pressure

Manufacturing concerns cause stocks to plummet Major stock indexes tumble nearly 4 percent

By JONATHAN FUERBRINGER New York Times News Service

NEW YORK Stocks plunged Tuesday on a report that showed manufacturing remains weak and that fueled concerns about the already sluggish economic recovery.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index declined 4.2 percent for its worst single day since just after Sept. 11.

The two other major indexes fell at least 3.9 percent, pulled lower by sharp drops in Citigroup, down 10.3 percent; General Motors, down 4.8 percent; Exxon Mobil, down 5.2 percent; General Electric, down 5.6 percent; Microsoft, down 4.2 percent,and Intel, down 4.9 percent. All 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average were down, as were 482 of those in the S&P 500.

All three indexes are above their levels when the overall market hit a five-year low in July. But Nasdaq is within 58 points of its low, and the S&P 500 is below 900 for the first time in four weeks.

intraday trading dip below 4 percent in mid-August, the yield has not been this low on a security with a 10-year

maturity since the early 19605.

Since the stock market reached its five-year low, investors have digested conflicting news on the outlook for the economy and, in turn, corporate earnings. Some analysts have argued that the market is attractive because stocks are undervalued, while others still worry about how high prices are relative to earnings.

“I think mixed-signals are the inescapable reality in a modest recovery, but that can be especially disappointing to anyone who is hoping to return to the boom times of the 19905,” said

Robert Barbera, chief economist at Hoenig & Co. in Rye Brook, N.Y. Barbera said that he does not expect the economy to fall into a second, or double-dip, recession. Economists and analysts generally contend that the last recession ended late last year.

“I don’t recall the term veto being used by the president but he made it very clear that the bill had to be acceptable to him, that he wasn’t going to accept some—these are my words—weak compromise,” Sen. Bob Smith, R-N.H., told reporters afterward.

Later in the day, however, the White House issued a statement stating that Bush would veto the Senate bill “in its current form.” In addition to the person-

nel issues, the statement said Bush objects to the bill’s “intrusive” new White House Homeland Security Office with a Senate-confirmed director.

As the battle lines hardened, the Senate voted 94-0 to proceed to full debate, which could take two or three weeks.

Presidential power to waive union collective bargaining rights for federal employees for national security reasons has existed since 1977, said Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn. Congress has approved more flexible personnel systems for agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Aviation Administration and the new Transportation Security Administration.

by the end of next week. She did not know the exact number of permits issued but said usage should decrease when off-campus undergraduate students are assigned Blue Zone permits off of a waitlist and graduate students receive permits from their school lotteries.

“We are confident that we will have a balance between supply and demand,” Reeve wrote in an e-mail.

She added that the University has created a van service between the lots and Science Drive to help accommodate students and that overflow lots are available on N.C. 751 and at the Washington Duke Inn. Still, many commuters expressed annoyance with the new parking alternative.

“All of last week, after 10:30 it was full and there was nowhere else to park,” said senior Natasha Hanshaw, who parks on

Swift Avenue or on East Campus when she cannot find a spot on Duke University Road.

She added that many of her friends living in the Belmont Apartments would rather walk to campus than attempt to utilize the parking spaces on Duke University Road.

Not all commuters are disgruntled by the parking situation; those arriving earlier

have experienced little trouble finding a

place to park.

“It’s never full really,” said Brian Fahey, a

first year graduate student in the Pratt School of Engineering, who generally arrives before 9 a.m. “I’d rather park someplace closer, but I don’t really mind the walk,” he said.

First year environmental graduate student Takaharu Funatomi agreed. “It’s a little far from the Nicholas School [of the Environment and Earth Sciences], but it’s good exercise for me,” he said. Funatomi added that the walk was a good way for him to become familiar with the campus.

Others said rather than walking, they take a bus that stops at the Duke University Road lots and runs to West Campus, but service is not always guaranteed.

“It took me today half an hour from the time I got to campus to get to Main West campus,” Saleeby said. “That’s ridiculous.

There’s got to be a better way.”

Kirsten Cappel, a first-year student in the master of environmental management program, agreed, noting that although she lives close to campus, she allocates between 30 and 45 minutes to get from her residence to class. “I would take the bus but it stops running at 7 [p.m.] and sometimes I have class later,” she said.

Cappel also fisted safety issues as reasons for her concern. Before their transformation, the lots were generally considered unsafe and the University discouraged parking there. Police now patrol the lots between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and some fights have been installed.

THE DUKE UNIVERSITY ROAD LOTS sit empty during orientation week, but commuters say the lot now fills before 9 a.m., leaving them with few parking options.

the West Bank and Gaza Strip Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb Erekat called the expulsions war crimes and said the Palestinians may ask the U.N. Security Council to discuss the current situation.

In the Jenin refugee camp, seven Palestinians, including two children, were hurt when a bomb exploded, residents said. They said it was apparently left over from a battle with Israeli forces in April, when Palestinians planted hundreds of bombs in the camp.

At the Supreme Court hearing, the Israeli military argued that expulsions are an effective deterrent against suicide bombings and other attacks.

Human rights lawyers said the measure violates the Geneva Conventions, which forbid “individual or mass forcible transfers” or deportations of “protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the occupying power or to that of any other country.”

The court accepted the state’s argument that the West Bank and Gaza Strip constitute one territory, and so sending people from the West Bank to Gaza did not amount to deportation. Israel has never acknowledged that the Geneva Conventions apply to

The justices approved the expulsion ofIntisar and

Kifah Ajouri, sister and brother of Ali Ajouri, a member of the A1 Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade militia. Ajouri allegedly sent two suicide bombers to Tel Aviv on July 17, and two Israelis and three foreign workers were killed in the attack.

Ali Ajouri was killed in an Israeli military strike

August 6.

The court said Intisar Ajouri sewed the explosives belts for the bombers, and Kifah kept watch while his brother moved explosives between hiding places.

The judges overturned the expulsion order against Abdel Nasser Asidi, brother of a Hamas activist accused of involvement in two West Bank attacks that killed 19 Israelis.

The conflicting rulings indicated that every time

the military tries to use expulsion, it may face future court hearings.

Lawyer Leah Tzemel represented two of the Palestinian petitioners.

“It puts Israel into difficulties with international law and leads soldiers into the possibility of being sentenced as war criminals,” said Tzemel.

She said the Hague-based International Criminal Court had jurisdiction only in cases dating from July 1, 2002, when it came into being.

The ruling, written by Chief Justice Aharon Barak, said that the military can expel a relative of a militant only if that person poses a serious securi-

ty threat.

The ruling said the Israeli court sought to strike a balance between security concerns and individual human rights.

“In this balance, human rights cannot receive complete protection as if there were no terror, and state security cannot receive complete protection, as if there were no human rights,” Barak wrote.

AIRALL from page 1 Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said she has made quick progress since her arrival Aug. 1.

“She’s quickly begun to identify key issues that fall within the campus life worlds and has developed individual and team relationships with her staff,” said Moneta, who previously worked with AiralL at the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s already been a delight to have Zoila Airall on board, and I anticipate that our campus life activities and initiatives will be well served by her presence.”

Airall, a Rutgers University graduate, traces her interests in culture, diversity and minorities to her

childhood. Because her father was in the military, Airall lived in Panama, Thailand and Germany before going to college. “[My interest] has a lot to do with the way I was raised,” Airall said. “I had seen a lot of the world my college friends hadn’t seen, and I was exposed to lots of different cultures.”

Placing a high priority on collaborative work, Airall hopes to meet and bring together as many campus figures as possible to discuss ideas. Airall also wants to be a strong advocate for the directors of the different centers she coordinates. “The better I can be for them, the better they can be for their student constituency,” Airall said. “These center directors have done a lot and are multi-talented people, and my professional

Karen Krahulik, LGBT Center director, said she eagerly anticipates working with Airall, especially to find increased space for the center’s activities.

“Dr. Airall has proven herself already to be an exemplary leader for the campus life team. I hope and have faith that the campus life program will reflect her visions and goals for the campus,” Krahulik said.

Although Leon Dunkley, director of the soon-to-berenovated Mary Lou Williams Center, has not yet determined specific goals for his collaboration with Airall, he expressed enthusiasm nevertheless.

“Our initial meetings have been fabulous,” Dunkley said. “She is open, accessible and friendly. She will bring lots of energy to campus life.”

SENATE from page 7

The Chronicle The Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration, Customs Service,

Even though there was no immediate sign of compromise on the personnel dispute, both sides predicted the Senate would pass a Homeland Security bill later this month. That would set up further negotiations on a final version with the House, which in July approved a measure much like Bush’s original plan.

Both bills would merge all or parts of 22 agencies into a single department focused on protecting Americans against terrorism at home.

BELMONT BUSES

Border Patrol, Secret Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency are among those to be moved.

Both measures also would set up a new intelligence analysis office—the Senate’s version is more powerful—that would sift through data produced by the CIA, FBI and others to identify potential threats and take action to protect targets or prevent future terrorist acts.

GPSC CHARTER from page 3 fourth-year sociology graduate student.

After a short discussion regarding the attendance and voting policies, the assembly voted, the charter passing with a vote of 30-4.

Members voted to add seven committees alongside the existing student affairs committee, in a manner that Saunders said reflects a board of trustees. .

While the childcare, health insurance and parking and transportation committees were established to address long-standing graduate and professional student issues, others, such as academic affairs and undergraduate mentoring will work on more specific projects.

“We thought about what GPSC needs in general,” said Audrey Beck, a second-year student in sociology.

“For example, we created the communications committee because of past problems with the melding of graduate and professional students.”

Academic affairs will address the new Universitywide academic integrity codes while the undergraduate mentoring group will follow up with a career counseling-type program beginning this fall, pairing graduate students with students in each of the West Campus quads.

Volleyball rolls over High Point

Blue Devils dominate outgunned Panthers in 3 consecutive games

By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle The women’s volleyball team preyed on the intimidated Panthers'of High Point University during a 3-0 (30-10, 30-18, 30-22) win Tuesday in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Aside from a brief lapse in the third game, the Blue Devils dominated nearly every facet of the match, combining a blend of power and finesse.

“I was pleased we came out to play tonight,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “Sometimes we play down to the level of the opponent, and I don’t feel like we did that at all tonight.”

After crushing the Panthers in the first game and taking the second easily, Duke found itself with a slim lead, 14-12, in Game 3. Starting with an ace from junior Tassy Rufai, however, the Blue Devils went on a 61 run, and never looked back.

“I think we just had a little mental lapse,” Rufai said “We got back on track to focus well and execute well.”

Since she was playing mostly reserves at the time the Panthers nearly caught up, Nagel decided to view the third game as a learning experience.

“We just had a lot of inexperience on the floor,” Nagel said. “They haven’t had me bark at them enough at where they’re supposed to be on defense. It will come with time.”

In short, the coach was more impressed with Game 1 than she was worried about Game 3.

The Blue Devils dominated with balance on both offense and defense. Freshman Sarah Salem led the team with 12 kills with a .611 hitting percentage, Rufai and junior Krista Dill were next with a total of six, while junior Katie Gilman and senior Jill Sonne followed with five.

Up to that part of the match, Rubin’s When the match ended, Venus attacking style kept Williams off-balwalked off court and swung her racket ance, though it didn’t produce all that in a forehand motion while looking at many winners. her father, as though to say, “I know, I “I gave myself a chance in the match. know.

You look getting instructions from Richard.

up—you’re right there for the match.”

Rubin has made quick progress since returning to the tour in May after her second surgery, including victories over Serena Williams and Davenport en route to winning a hard-court tournament in Los Angeles last month.

Of Rubin’s seven main draw losses in 2002, five came against players who have been ranked No. 1: the Williams sisters, Davenport and Seles.

Hingis also used to be at the top, but the last of her five Grand Slam titles came at the 1999 Australian Open.

Since then, she’s lost in five major finals, while the Williams sisters have combined to win seven of the past 12.

Now Hingis is coming back from ligament damage that one of her doctors said might end her career, and she didn’t do much to push Seles off her game Tuesday.

Seles figures to get a different test against Venus Williams, who has won seven of their eight meetings, including in the French Open quarterfinals.

It’s been 10 years since Seles won her second straight U.S. Open title.

VOLLEYBALL from page 11 Sophomore Stephanie Istavan lead Duke with a 23 assists while junior Arielle Linderman added 15 assists. No other Dukie tallied more than one.

On the other side of the ball, Istavan led Duke with 10 digs, while Gilman had six and Linderman had four. Senior Rachel Vander Griend added four blocks to go with a perfect hitting percentage.

Linderman and Rufai had the only solo blocks for the Blue Devils, but Dill assisted on five occasions.

“I think our team did a real good job of executing in Game 1, which made our job a lot easier,” the fourthyear Blue Devil coach said. “I really appreciate that

Leading High Point was Kimberly Wright with 11 kills with Tracyan Pryce added seven. Jamie Kutz and Wright had 15 and eight assists, respectively.

All in all the Blue Devils we are pleased with their performance, and felt their future was bright.

“I thought we played well for our first home match,” Sonne said. “If we focus on each individual skill, we shouldn’t have any problems.”

Duke won the Loyola Marymount Invitational last weekend, and with a 4-0 record, the Blue Devils look to repeat as ACC champions. Their next matches are this weekend when they play Pittsburgh, Bowling Green and Boston College in the Keystone state at the Pittsburgh Classic.

The Chronicle back to our rooms, but unlike past games, this time we were coming back.

While drying off during halftime, we spread word around the halls that not only was Duke not being destroyed, but the Blue Devils were actually up by 10.

As the third quarter got underway, the student section had noticeably swelled.

The rain fell harder, but no one seemed to mind. Chants of “goalposts” and “undefeated” began to arise.

There was an ECU fan shouting something at the students, but his thick Southern drawl coupled with a lack of sufficient teeth left his actual words a mystery. For once, Wallace Wade actually presented a real college football environment.

The end of the game is by now quite well-known. Students rushed the field, goalposts came down and the Blue Devils—the 1-0 Blue Devils—had finally shaken the monkey of a 23-game losing streak from their backs.

The events of Saturday evening were certainly unique. Duke students can’t expect to rush the field again this season; they can’t even be sure that the Blue Devils will win another game.

Duke’s victory, however, did enact one major change. Whether the Blue Devils can keep up with Dave Ragone and company remains to be seen, but at least the student body can show up hoping for a competitive game, rather than simply searching for one on TV.

DAVIS from page 11 vision sets —that is when they weren’t attacking the free buffet—to watch a game going on hundreds of miles away.

From dorm rooms to media rooms, the mentality was the same. Nobody cared who the teams were, but everyone wanted to watch a game where the winner wasn’t decided before the postmeal cookies were long gone.

Saturday night, things were no different. I planned to see an ECU touchdown or six, shower, watch Notre Dame play Maryland and get ready for my fraternity’s party. But that evening, the Blue Devils did something that they hadn’t done for a really long time—they made the game interesting.

Duke’s defense under new coordinator Ted Roof looked like, well, for the first time in years, a defense. They forced four turnovers and had a key sack to end the Pirates’ final threat.

On the other side of the ball, Alex Wade had the first 100-yard rushing game of his career, while Duke’s tandem of quarterbacks didn’t throw an interception the entire game. The Blue Devils raced out to a 20-0 lead to open the game, something that must have made fans arriving late double-check to make sure that “Sarcasm Day” wasn’t one of Duke Athletics’ new promo-

tional ideas.

But sure enough, there the Blue

Honoring the 11th

One

week from today is the one-year anniversary of the Sept.

11 attacks, and like the rest of the nation, the University will commemorate the anniversary in its own way. The

University’s plans for Sept. 11, which were released last week, are somber, respectful and elegant.

The center of the University’s memorial is the ringing of the Chapel bell. The bell will ring once for each major event of Sept.

11, at the exact time each event occurred. The bell will also toll once for each of six alumni who died in the attacks. The deceased alumni will also be honored with trees planted outside of the WestEdens Link.

These events symbolically recreate what occurred last year, in a respectful remembrance, but also as a message of hope for the future. In particular, the Chapel bells are very powerful and tasteful. The administration has done an excellent job carefully planning this important and heart-felt memorial.

The day will open with a reception at the Duke University Museum of Art and will close with a multidisciplinary symposium discussing the attacks. In addition to the official University events, many campus groups have planned their own commemoration of the day.

Despite all the remembrances, class will continue to be in session on Sept. 11 this year as it was last year. The University must remember that whatever else is going on, it remains a place focused on academic pursuits, and thus it is appropriate class remains in session. Additionally, the fact classes will be held that day gives students a structured opportunity to discuss the events of the past year in an intellectual climate.

Professors have the discretion whether to utilize class time to discuss Sept. 11 or not, but surely many professors will take advantage of such an opportunity. Even though some classes may seem like a somewhat random place to discuss the implications of Sept. 11, classes are nevertheless a gathering of students, and it is always enlightening and cathartic to just discuss.

Because the University is an intellectual place, it is important to have the time and opportunity to discuss events that are so important in history. The University is one place where people can engage in actual, informed discourse about the events of Sept. 11, their aftermath and their long-term impact.

The only questionable part of the schedule for Sept. 11 is that there is only one forum being held, and it is to be held in the Sanford Public Policy building, one of the smaller venues on campus. The University should strongly consider either moving the forum to a larger location or consider having more forums, in order to give more students the opportunity to attend.

On the

record

This past weekend, Duke, at long last, won a football game. Kudos to them. All across campus this was celebrated in a night of revelry and partying.

event. But together they paint a picture of campus life that does not meet the hopes, or even the rightful expectations, ofeither the administration or the students.

Obviously, these problems are larger than the incidents I describe here. The culture here is not one that promotes taking active responsibility for the affect our actions may have on our classmates. It is our role as students to cultivate an atmosphere that is conscientious and the administration’s duty to institute some real reform to campus security. It is our responsibility, as a group, to put pressure on the administration to secure a consistent and effective policy toward campus life after dark, for all of us.

More student support needed for Louisville game Although I am not an alumnus of Duke, I have been attending Duke football games since 1957.1 have been disappointed in the turnout from the student body at Duke football games the last few years, but Saturday night, the students were special.

Despite the fact that the Duke fans were out-num-

bered, the student body generated noise and enthusiasm that inspired the team.

This is a very young team and will need all the support that all the Duke fans can give. I am excited about attending the remaining games because this team is going to be fun to watch. There were around 1,000 students at

the East Carolina game and it would be great if there were around 3,000 (or more) at the Louisville game. It will be a tough game, but with a lot of support, this Duke team is capable of winning.

See you on Saturday night!
