Engineering school mourns benefactor

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Edmund Pratt, Engineering ’47, former chair and CEO of Pfizer Inc. and the namesake of the University’s engineering school, died Thursday at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He was 75.

Pratt will be remembered not only as one ofthe University’s most generous benefactors, having donated $35 million to the School of Engineering, but also as one ofthe leaders ofAmerican industry in the last half of the

20th century.

“Ed Pratt was a wonderful person, gracious and and generous, humble someone who really enjoyed life,” Kristina Johnson, dean of the engineering school, said in a statement Friday.

“He had an easy rapport with our students, telling them that he was ‘jugt lucky’ in life. We were the lucky ones to be in his life.

He had an amazing smile and a presence that lit up a room. He will be missed tremendously by all of us.

Our deepest sympathies go out to his family.”

Harold “Spike” Yoh, Engineering ’5B, and chair of the Board of Trustees, said he only recently got to know

The last time Edmund Pratt, Engineering ’47, was at Duke University, he was overseeing the groundbreaking ceremony for the new engineering building in February.

Although completion of the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences is still two years off, administrators at Duke who knew the engineering school’s namesake best said the building would never have been possible without Pratt’s generosity and leadership.

“The two major goals in our strategic plan are to expand the faculty... and then there’s this very large building. Without Mr. Pratt’s gift, neither of those things would have been possible,” said Earl Dowell, dean of the engineering school from 1983 to 1999.

Pratt came to Pfizer in 1964 as controller, was named its president in 1971 and chair and chief executive officer in 1972. Pratt served as

Primary delay causes anticipation

By MELISSA SOUCY The Chronicle

North Carolina’s partisan primary elections originally scheduled for May 7 will finally take place Tuesday, almost seven months after a controversial redistricting was overturned by the state Superior Court.

Over 32,000 votes have already been cast since the state instituted a “one-stop, no-excuse” early voting policy opening 124 polls throughout the state from Aug. 22 through Sept. 7. Voters are electing their parties’ candidates for Congress, the General Assembly and other local positions.

In March, after Republicans claimed the new legislative district map split too many counties into different districts, the state Supreme Court ordered that the primaries not proceed as scheduled until the voting-district issue was resolved. The final map passed July 12.

Despite the resolved map issues, election officials are uncertain the primary will see a high voter turnout.

“It is my fervent hope that [the delayed primary] increases the turnout, though most are predicting it will continue the downward trend,” said Bill Cobey, chair of the North Carolina Republican Party. “I think that would be a tragedy since the [Sept. 11] anniversary is the next day. If that isn’t a wake-up call to the importance of exercising our rights as citizens, I don’t know what is.”

Barbara Allen, chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party echoed Cobey. “We talk about being See PRIMARY on page 10 i

Bush team continues Iraq criticism

Angered by reported Iraqi attempt to build weapons arsenal, advisers lash out

By TODD PURDUM

New York Times News Service

Led by Vice PresiWashington dent Dick Cheney, who warned grimly that “time is not on our side,” President George W. Bush’s top national security officials said nearly in unison Sunday that Saddam Hussein’s efforts to build an arsenal of immensely destructive weapons left the United States little choice but to act against Iraq.

“There shouldn’t be any doubt in anybody’s mind that this president is absolutely bound and determined to deal with this threat, and to do whatever is necessary to make certain that we do so,” Cheney said. He said Iraq was sparing no effort to revive its nuclear weapon program and that in

“Face the Nation.” “It’s not 3,000; it’s tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children.”

Even Secretary of State Colin Powell, who has been among the most cautious of Bush’s senior advisers on the question of Iraq, urging intense consultation with allies and detailed discussion ofthe challenge of building a stable Iraq after Saddam, took pains to say the administration would act alone if necessary.

“I think there is a sound legal argument that the president, if he felt it was necessary to do something now, can find the authority within existing U.N. resolutions.” Powell

light of Sept. 11, its history with nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programs directly threatenens the United States.

The president’s national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said “there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly” Saddam can acquire nuclear weapons. But, speaking on CNN’s “Late Edition,” she added: “We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.”

Like his colleagues, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld cited the Sept. 11 attacks in making his case that the world cannot wait to see what Iraq may do. “Imagine a Sept, 11 with weapons of mass destruction,” he said on the CBS program

U.S. to fingerprint suspicious foreigners

By SUSAN SACHS

New York Times News Service

Immigration agents at the nation’s border crossings, airports and seaports will begin this week to fingerprint foreigners they suspect may pose securityrisks and will require those visitors regularly to report where they are staying and what they are doing in the United States.

The new procedures, intended to improve the monitoring of certain foreigners, will apply to anyone arriving with a student, business or tourist visa and who is believed to fit the criteria of a potential terrorist.

Justice Department officials said they would not disclose the criteria that the agents will use in determining who will be required to submit to fingerprinting, as well as photographing, for fear of jeopardizing intelligence-

Still, the widespread assumption among civil liberties groups and American Muslims is that visitors from Arab and Islamic nations will receive the closest scrutiny. Arab nations have drawn the same conclusion and the 22-member Arab League has denounced the effort as discriminatory.

The new measures are supposed to go into effect on a trial basis at some ports of entry on Wednesday and to be in operation at all border crossings by Oct. 1.

The Justice Department would not identify the ports that will start the new monitoring this week.

Many Muslim visa applicants are already singled out for extra investigation before they leave home. In line with a post-Sept. 11 rule, applicants from 26 countries, a list that is dominated by Islamic nations, must be cleared by See IMMIGRATION on page 8

Office urges caution for students � Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek cautioned off-campus residents about the recent reported sexual assault in a weekend e-mail.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

University officials sent out an email to all students late Friday providing a description of a Durham man wanted in an off-campus sexual assault of a Duke student last Thursday, as well as a sketch of a man who might have information about a similar incident in the same neighborhood.

In addition, further details about an on-campus Sept. 1 alleged rape of an 18year-old visitor by a 21-year-old Duke student

BEN YAFFE/THE CHRONICLE

DUKE POLICE showed up to tailgate parties before this weekend’s football game against Louisville to warn them not to bring kegs to tailgate parties in the future. Kegs are banned on campus per the school’s alcohol policy.

Officials visit tailgates, prohibit kegs After an angry message from an East Carolina fan, Duke police showed up to tailgates this weekend

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Football fans suffered a second loss over the weekend, as the University prohibited the long-standing tradition of drinking from kegs at tailgates in the Blue Zone before football games.

Sue Wasiolek, dean of students and assistant vice president for student affairs, discovered the kegs during a visit to the tailgate parties. The visit was prompted by a letter to President Nan Keohane written by an East Carolina University football fan complaining that intoxicated Duke tailgaters yelled profanities and vandalized ECU fans’ property after last week’s game. Duke’s alcohol policy prohibits kegs without University bartenders, and Wasiolek told students to remove the kegs before police

arrived at the premises to avoid citations.

“Our reaction was to go to the parking lots and just see what we found—if we saw blatant alcohol violations, stop them, and if not, just tell them to be bet-

ter behaved,” Wasiolek said. “We would not be there except for the letter, but once we were made aware of a violation ofthe policy, we can’t walk awayfrom it.

Frankly, I wish we had never received the complaint.”

No students received citations from Duke police officers who hiked to the tailgate.

Faced with the option of moving the kegs or being cited, students either quickly finished the kegs or took them to other locations. Wasiolek said the University has not decided if they will continue to check on tailgates.

Many tailgaters expressed anger and frustration at the prohibition of kegs at the pre-game festivities.

“My initial reaction was, ‘Here goes Duke taking away what is the last fun thing on-campus,’” former Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity president Will Brown said. “I would have appreciated a little warning. We are perfectly aware there is a policy and we are willing to abide. The only reason we had kegs is that we have always had them and it has never been an issue.”

By CHRISTINA NG The Chronicle

For the second year in a row, a cultural group funding committee distributed $lOO,OOO for cultural programming on campus.

Among the 82 groups that submitted proposals, the committee approved funding for 17 of them. An additional $45,000 from the University Fund for campus organizations will also be distributed over the fall semester.

The cultural fund, established by President Nan Keohane in May 2001 as a response to the Duke Student Movement, supplements the funding cultural groups receive from Duke Student Government for their signature programs, such as the Asian Students Association’s Lunar New Year Celebration and Mi Gente’s Latino Heritage Month.

The committee looked at the strength of a proposal, how well the proposal was written and the group’s current budget, including money from DSG, to determine allocations. “We also asked for a way for the groups to evaluate their project,” said Julian Sanchez, director of the Office of Intercultural Affairs. “They will submit their evaluation after the event and we will use it to help decisions for next year.”

The committee asked for more submissions last week and applications for the next allocation are due Oct. 1.

In an effort to increase student representation on the committee, Sanchez will this time add sophomore Philip Kurian, who is heading up the task force for DSG funding. Sanchez, who chairs the committee, joins five faculty members and employees, and just one student, DSG President Joshua-Jean Baptiste. Last year’s committee featured seven students. He explained that because the committee members were chosen in the summer, it was difficult to find students.

Diya, which received over $20,000 in funding, submitted two proposals including a $23,000 request specifically for Awaaz. “[The committee] did a good job about fulfilling and accommodating our needs, and we’re really happy about that,” said Pratap Raya, Diya co-president.

ASA, which requested $31,000 for the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month as well as the Lunar New Year Celebration, was still pleased with their $20,000 allocation. “We received more for LNY this year than last, by about $2,000, but we believe that thejpcrease will be nullified by the fact that LNY will be bigger and better this year, making it more See CULTURE FUND on page 8

Journal ranks Fuqua 3rd in black student enrollment Dean Doug Breeden says data is encouraging, but adds business school has much work left to do to recruit more black faculty

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

The Fuqua School of Business ranks third among the nation’s top 25 business schools in percentage of black students, according to a recent survey in The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education.

Seven percent ofFuqua’s students are black, placing it behind Indiana University and The Ohio State University. However, Duke’s business school fared worse in faculty numbers, since it has only one black

faculty member.

“I’m thrilled with the news,” said Doug Breeden, dean of the business school. “I knew that we were one of the top, but we are not content to remain where we are.”

The survey found that business schools, where black student enrollment fell 7.8 percent since 1999, have made less progress in recruiting black students and faculty than law and medical schools.

“Blacks continue to show only snail-like progress in business school enrollments,” the article read.

“[Law and medical schools] have been active in recent years in enrolling black students. But business schools in America have been major laggards.”

The University of Texas, where only seven black students are enrolled, placed last in the survey.

Black enrollment at the school has dropped by more than one-third since a 1996 state court decision prohibited race as a consideration in admissions.

Breeden said Fuqua has a strong black student community, but needs to focus more on hiring black faculty.

One of the school’s strategies for increasing black faculty is to produce more black doctorate students.

Lehman Benson, a visiting associate professor at Fuqua, was not included in the survey’s faculty count because he is not a regular-rank professor, but he said the decreasing number of black students at top business schools concerned him because it would decrease the number of potential black faculty members.

“The number is disturbing because the faculty pool is getting even smaller as the student pool is getting smaller,” Benson said. “It’s a cycle.”

He added that Fuqua has a positive racial climate and that the Office of Institutional Equity had been a helpful resource. However, the school faces faculty hiring challenges both because of its current small pool of black faculty and because Duke lacks an urban environment.

Breeden emphasized that numbers do not by themselves ensure true diversity.

“I think the [environment] for black students is quite supportive,” Breeden said.

“When you walk through our hallways, you see faculty, staff and students of all colors. I think it is encouraging.”

The journal last week announced that Duke ranked tops for black diversity among the top 28 universities in the nation. Provost Peter Lange attributed much of Duke’s success to the Black Faculty Strategic Initiative. A task force led by former Fuqua dean Rex Adams is meeting for the first time this week to determine where the initiative will go in the next decade.

The award acknowledges Duke’s “strong reputation as a generous contributor to the archival profession” and its longtime leadership in “regional, national and international efforts in descriptive standards, and cutting-edge cooperative projects.”

The SAA recognized Duke as an early implementer of encoded archival description—helping to refine the standard—and praised Duke’s Digital Scriptorium, part of the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library, for its leadership over the past decade in the development of best practices for online digital collections.

The approaching Sept. 11 anniversary swelled the crowds this past weekend. But visitors have been speaking their minds for the past year, spontaneously contributing more than 5,000 items, along with tens of thousands of jotted messages and signatures.

“We understood that there had been another sexual assault in [the Wilkerson Avenue] area fairly recently,” Wasiolek said. “There are several groups of students that live in that immediate vicinity and the area is ip close proximity to East Campus. We wanted to give all the information we had

to students.”

Meanwhile, Duke University Police Department officials have not released any further information about the Sept. 1 incident in which a female visitor reported that between midnight and 5:30 a.m. she was raped by a male student in his West Campus dorm room.

Police have identified the suspect but have not released his name. Maj. Robert Dean said last week the victim had gone to the hospital but appeared to be physically all right. He would not say whether alcohol was involved, but did indicate the victim probably knew her attacker.

“In major cases it can take weeks or even months to investigate,” Dean wrote in an e-mail. we have pretty much completed our investigation in this case. We have been in contact with the District Attorney’s Office.

And at this time we are waiting to see how the victim wish[es] to proceed, whether criminally or [through the] Judicial Board.”

Wasiolek said her office has also not received any further details on the incident, but said she was confident the police would make every effort to share as much information as quickly as they could, while at the same time respecting the wishes of the victim.

Sanchez said that while funds help large, established groups produce their major events, not much is done to financially encourage smaller organizations. “We will need to use the University Fund to encourage smaller groups.

Right now [the cultural fund] isn’t doing much to encourage them,” he said. “There may be a time when we need more money for when [we can encourage them] but it’s working right now with the University Fund.”

Sanchez added that in the future, individual organizations will need to find ways to augment their budget as the extent of their programming grows. “We can’t keep up with that kind of growth with this budget,” he said.

rules last month, Attorney General John Ashcroft said that additional monitoring of visa holders once they arrived in the United States was necessary to take into account constantly updated intelligence about the activities of ter-

rorist organizations.

The requirement that selected foreign visitors must regularly report their whereabouts to the government, he added, would help detect terrorists who go underground after arriving. Some of the 19 hijackers in last year’s terror attacks had violated the terms of their business and student visas or had overstayed them.

Middle Eastern diplomats said the number of people from

Arab countries asking for visas to the U.S. has dropped by half over the past year, an outgrowth of the lengthy application process and a fear of running into anti-Arab sentiment here.

The decline in visits may prove to be counterproductive to American policy goals of promoting better understanding between Muslims and the West, the Egyptian

ambassador to the United States,

Nabil Fahmy, warned.

In 2001, 44,000 student, business and other temporary visas were issued to visitors from those countries, which are five of the seven countries designated by the State Department as terrorism sponsors.

blasting 51 shots over two games Duke 0 this weekend, the men’s soccer team only found the back of the net twice in two games, losing to South Carolina 3-0 Sunday, but squeaking out a 2-1, double-overtime win against George Washington Friday at Koskinen stadium.

The Blue Devils were dealt an early blow in the first four minutes of play in their second game, when Duke defender Matt White found himself in a world of pain after a nasty tackle from behind.

With his ankle swollen, White was replaced by senior Andy Borman, and head coach John Rennie said that having White out of the lineup was difficult for the Blue Devils.

“We’ve had Matt and Ryan Kerlew out—which is half our starting defense on the bench,” he said.

Although Rennie pinpointed the Blue Devils’ problem, he could not find a group of defenders with enough speed to run down Gamecock J.C. Desriac. The French-bom Desriac used his lightningquickness to lead to two counterattacking goals, which were both crossed from the right comer.

Freshman Anthony Stovall connected with his foot on the first ball from Desriac with 15 minutes left in the first half.

Just two minutes later Jordan Quinn dove to meet Desriac’s cross in the air and hit side netting with his second goal S.C.

Duke 2 CHAPEL HILL —The women’s soccer team 0 suffered its second Wofford consecutive overtime defeat Friday night, as the No. 17 Blue Devils, despite jumping to an early 2-0 advantage, fell 4-3 to the llth-ranked Washington Huskies. A clearly fatigued Blue Devil team then rebounded Sunday with a 2-0 win over Wofford, outshooting the Terriers (0-2-1) 26-2.

Senior midfielder Liz Vaughn’s tenacious play earned her the Carolina Nike Classic’s most valuable player award.

In the second, easier game for Duke, the Blue Devils would have liked to have finished more of their scoring attempts, but acknowledged that having less than 48 hours to recover from Friday’s marathon made for a difficult day.

“Your body doesn’t heal, it doesn’t recover from a match like Friday’s, both physically and mentally,” said head coach Robbie Church.

In Game 1, Nichole Martinez put home the game-winner at 105:30, capitalizing off a mele in front of Duke goalkeeper Katie Straka—something that resulted from Duke’s inability to clear a Washington comer kick.

With a rotation laden with freshmen and sophomores, the typical conclusion would be to cite Duke’s youth and inexperience as the primary reasons for the defeat. The Blue Devils, however, did not

Sophomore Casey McCluskey, whose right-footed drive in the fourth minute opened the scoring, also turned the blame away from youth.

“I don’t think it was inexperience,” she said. “I just think we couldn’t maintain the intensity we had at the beginning of the game and [Washington] took advantage ofit.”

Trailing 2-1 at the intermission, the Huskies (3-1) responded with two quick goals in a three-minute period, each the result of crisp passes through the Blue Devil defense that appeared to be caught off guard.

“Mistakes cost goals when you play top-15 teams,” Church said. “That means we have to play without mistakes.”

Finding themselves trailing after allowing three unanswered tallies, the Blue Devils didn’t quit. Following a chaotic scrum in front of the Washington net, freshman Carolyn Ford corralled a loose ball, tying the game at three in the 81st minute.

“We really dominated,” said McCluskey.

“It’s upsetting that they came back and won, but I think we put out a great effort and I think we’ll learn from it.”

End of dream: Duke receives 40-3

to Louisville at Wallace Wade Stadium.

“I think momentum was a huge difference,” middle linebacker Ryan Fowler said. “Once we lost momentum in this game, it’s hard to get that back without big plays. In any football game, momentum has a big part.”

After a scoreless few minutes, the momentum shifted to the Cardinals when they sacked quarterback Adam Smith in the endzone for a safety just over five minutes into the game—and for the first time this season, Duke was in a deficit.

Louisville then raced to a 26 point lead over a team that made its first score off a 48-yard field goal with 31 seconds left in the half. Cardinal quarterback Dave Ragone, a Heisman prospect for this year, made up for last week’s disappointing performance. He connected with senior tight end Ronnie Ghent with just over five minutes left in the first quarter to set off the Cardinals’ scoring frenzy.

The Cardinal defense held Duke to zero offensive yards in the first quarter and did not allow a first down converPlPlß^NMbi sion until 1:36 remained in the first half.

Louisville gained the 12-0 lead after Ragone’s 11-yard rush on third-and-goal brought the team short by three yards, *i] setting up Nate Smith’s field goal with 9:21 left in the half.

The only thing that looked healthy for the football team Saturday was the brand new pair of goal posts.

Despite coming off a game where happiness erupted at all levels of the program, the Blue Devils went into a spiral of patterns that reminded the Duke faithful of the 23-game losing streak that was thought to be

a thing of the past.

Searching for answers to its bi-polar season, the team need not look further than its triumph over East Carolina last week.

The fate of the Blue Devils in each game was decided by fourth-down and one-yard runs in the first half.

Against East Carolina, quarterback Chris Dapolito ran for 29 yards on the pressure packed down, which eventually set up Dapolito’s four-yard touchdown run, the only offensive touchdown iTuke has had this season.

This Saturday, things turned out differently.

With less than eight minutes left in the first half, Duke, down 12-0, had not yet gained a first down. On their own 38, the Blue Devils were one yard away with one down left. Normally an obvious punting situation—especially given the time and score—the Blue Devils gambled.

As Duke lined up for the play, everyone in the stadium knew Alex Wade would run the ball. The bruising fullback was coming off a career high 109-yard performance, in which he sliced through East Carolina’s run defense.

Everyone knew he could run the ball. Everyone knew he should run

Robert Samuel the ball.

Chris Dapolito ran the ball Game Commentary The quarterback was stopped by the congestive Louisville defense, which set up a 38yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dave Ragone to wide receiver Dontay Spillman the very next play to put Louisville up 19-0. With their offense helplessly stagnant, even the biggest optimist would agree that this was too much of a deficit for the Blue Devils to overcome.

“We thought we could catch them off guard,” head coach Carl Franks said. “We practiced that play all week. We just didn’t get up there and push. At that time we needed to do something to keep our defense off the field. They just kept going back out there and back out there because we hadn’t made a first down.

We had a pretty good chance of doing it the way they had been setting up defensively.”

It was the offense’s inability to stay on the field that led to the defense’s troubles and fourth down gambles.

Louisville won the time-of-possession battle 34:14 to 25:46, and Duke did not gain a first down until 1:36 left in the first half. “[The defense] gave up a few touchdowns that we probably wouldn’t have given up had we not had to go for it on fourth downs,” Franks said.

Much of the time-of-possession struggles can be blamed on the offensive line. The line thatpowered the way for Alex Wade’s 43 yards on nine straight runs and set up the game winning field goal against ECU, blocked for only 22 rushing yards and gave up six sacks, including a safety.

“We got pushed around pretty good on offense,” Franks said. “I certainly didn’t expect that to happen to us. I knew they were a big strong team, but I thought we would be physical enough to keep them off the quarterback.”

To Ted Roofs credit, the defense also had to deal with a lot, including the injury of freshman Brendan Dewan.

Dewan had eight tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown in his first collegiate game last week.

All in all, the defense played a solid game, sacking Heisman candidate Dave Ragone four times and intercepting him twice.

“They threw a few balls over our heads,” Franks said. “That’s always been an area of concern for us; getting some depth in the secondary.”

After blow-outs such as this a season ago, it was hard to look at the schedule and see winnable games, but despite the set back, Franks’ squad is optimistic.

With Navy and Northwestern still on the table, Duke has significant motivation to make this more than a one-win season.

Volleyball knocks off 3 teams, wins Pitt. Classic

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

3 After a couple convincing wins at the Loyola 0 Marymount Indiana St. Invitational and an easy victory over High Duke

Point, the volleyball team took their early-season momentum to Pittsburgh Classic last weekend.

Three days, three games and three wins later, the Blue Devils remain undefeated after topping Indiana State, Bowling Green and Pittsburgh to win the tournament.

“I’m pleased that we came in here and won three matches this weekend,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We’re really excited to get to know each other better on the court and continue to improve. We had a great team effort this weekend.”

The Blue Devils (7-0) ended the weekend by beating Indiana State, 3-0 (30-18, 30-21,30-27) and Bowling Green 3-1 (30-25, 30-25, 27-30, 30-28). Junior Krista Dill, who recorded 14 kills

against Bowling Green and nine versus the Sycamores, was named tournament most valuable player.

The Blue Devils also leaned on the services of senior Jill Sonne, junior Tassy Rufai and freshman Sarah Salem all of whom chalked up eight kills against Bowling Green.

In the first game, Duke took out the host Panthers, 3-0 (30-25,30-28, 30-24) behind the sharp play of Salem, who recorded 11 kills with a .350 hitting percentage. Dill also added 10 kills of her own to go with six blocks and at .400 hitting percentage.

“We didn’t play our best match tonight, but we hung tough and played well enough to win in three games.”

Nagel said, after her team beat Pitts-

burgh. I’m pleased with that.”

The Blue Devils next travel to play East Carolina Tuesday before returning home to host American, Santa Barbara and Wisconsin in the Duke Classic next weekend. “

Harrisonburg, Va. The loss dropped the Blue Devils to 2on 1 the season “It was hard fought,” head coach Liz Tchou said. “We always have a good match with JMU, who is much better this year. I’m proud of the way we played, and I feel really positive. We learned a lot.”

Duke junior Kim Van Kirk posted the day’s first points with her goal 13:03 into the first half. Van Kirk rebounded a shot from midfield Chrissy Ashley on a penalty-corner play.

Ten minutes later, JMU was granted a penalty stroke after a Duke defender touched the ball with her hand. Senior Elize van Ballegooie then tied up the game with her goal.

“There was definitely one goal we

could have prevented,” Tchou said. “For the most part, though, our defense played pretty solidly.”

Van Ballegooie then scored again, five minutes later, off a penalty-comer ten yards out.

At the start of the second half, sophomore Veerle Goudswaard beat out three Blue Devil defenders on a breakaway and put the ball in the goal past goalkeeper Erica Perrier. Kim Gogola answered with what Tchou called “an incredible goal” when her shot, taken just inside the penalty circle, put Duke within one. The Blue Devils, however, were unable to score again and the final score remained 3-2.

Duke put up better numbers on the day, but the Blue Devils were unable to convert on the field. They outshot JMU in the second half 14-2, and had a 20-8 advantage for the game. Perrier recorded three saves, while JMU goalkeeper Lori Amico had a total of ten.

Durham in finals after 3-0 sweep

By JEFF VERNON The Chronicle

Bulls rode their usual 4 The Durham formula of defense, good pitching and 2 timely hitting to a sweep of the ToleMud Hens do Mud Hens Friday, earning a 4-2 victory and a chance at the Govemer’s Cup Championship.

Friday’s win came on the heels of two hard-fought games—a 4-3 victory Wednesday and a 13-inning, 8-5 victory Friday. The Bulls were led by the all-around play of catcher Paul Hoover, the hitting of Sportsticker Minor-league player of the year Rocco Baldelli and a bevy of strong pitchers.

Manager Bill Evers placed importance on the team’s good execution.

“Guys did what they had to do,” Ever said. “We got outstanding pitching and timely hitting. That’s the way to get it done.”

The team benefited from the varied contributions of many players. Left-fielder Jason Tyner threw two Mud Hens out at the plate Friday. The same night, firstbaseman Matt Luke dazzled fans defensively with a diving stop. The entire team displayed speed and baserunning smarts throughout the series.

Hoover and Baldelli, however, were the two stars.

Baldelli went 2-for-4 with two RBl’s and a run scored Friday, capped by a fifth-inning triple that came five feet from making it over the monstrous left field fence.

Hoover also had his share of offensive highlights—his 3-for-3 outing Friday capped a series in which he batted .667—but perhaps his greatest contributions came on the other end of the field, as he protected the plate, blocked potential wild-pitches and worked well

with the Bulls’ pitching staff. “[Paul’s] great, he’s blocking balls, calling a good game.,.. He’s a tough guy and a good guy to have back there,” Tyner said.

Starting pitcher Dewon Brazelton also lauded the efforts of his backstop.

“Hoover’s a great catcher,” said Friday’s winning pitcher. “A lot of times I don’t even have to think. He calls a pitch and I throw it. I went to college for three years but I don’t like to think, and he makes it so I don’t have to.”

The Bulls now play the Buffalo Bisons in the Govemer’s Cup Championship beginning in Buffalo Tuesday. The teams squared off eight times this season, in two four-game series in June. The Bisons swept the Bulls the first time around, but then themselves fell victim to a Bulls’ sweep.

PRATT from page 1 CEO for almost two decades, stepping down in May 1991, retiring from Pfizer in 1992 and serving as a board member until 1997.

Pfizer is an internationally-recognized pharmaceutical research company. During Pratt’s tenure as CEO, the company’s profits increased from $1 billion to $7 billion. Today, the company’s revenue is nearly $3O billion and it employs a workforce of 85,000.

“During his 20-year tenure as CEO,

Ed Pratt transformed Pfizer from a diversified manufacturing company to a research-based pharmaceutical company,” Hank McKinnell, Pfizer chair and chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Ed Pratt’s impact was felt far beyond Pfizer. He had enormous influence in shaping modern global trade during the 1980s, thanks to his passionate and tireless advocacy for the in-

tellectual property protection rights that are so vital to the pharmaceutical

industry and many others,” Pratt was bom in 1927 in Savannah, Ga., but grew up in Elkton, Md. After

graduating magna cum laude from Duke in 1947 with a B.S. in electrical engineering, he went to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and received his M.B.A. in 1949. A veteran, Pratt fought in World War II and served as a lieutenant in the Korean War. Although he started his career with IBM in 1949, he took a brief detour through the government, serving as assistant secretary of the Army for financial management during the Kennedy administration.

Pratt also served on a myriad of corporate boards, including the General

Motors Corporation, International Paper Company, The Chase Manhattan Corporation and The Chase Manhattan Bank.

Pratt is survived by his wife, Nancy Rhodes Pratt, and two sons, Randolf, of Plandome, N.Y., and Keith, of Brighton, Mich.

Johnson was out of the country and could not immediately be reached for further comment, but in an e-mail to the Pratt school community late last Friday, she said that the memorial service would be private and for family only, and that she was awaiting word from the Pratt family on how to send condolences.

PRIMARY from page 1 patriotic,” she said. “This is a great chance to get out and show your patriotism.”

Though this is the first time the early voting initiative has been implemented in a primary election, Allen said it should increase participation. “[Early voting] is a great thing,” she said. “I think it will catch on once people see how convenient it is.”

Cobey said his party, however, does not support the concept of early voting.

“It’s a terrible waste of money and it’s sad to see,” he said.

Michael Ashe, director of the Durham Board of Elections, said early voting has cost the county a

CHIRAC from page 10 me is what Mr. Bush says. Because I hear Mr. Cheney saying one thing and Mr. Powell saying another.”

Chirac spoke in a 75-minute interview that ranged from his concern over what he called a deteriorating situation

in Afghanistan to American perceptions of anti-Semitism in France. But his chief focus was Iraq. His position appeared nuanced, placing France closer to the administration position than Germany, which has said it will not take part in an attack on Iraq, whatever the United Nations decides.

Saturday, as Bush was meeting in the United States with Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain, Chirac was in Germany, meeting with Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who has dismissed military intervention in Iraq as an “adventure.”

Asked whether the timing of the meeting was designed to signal that France and Germany were united on one side ofthe debate, and America and Britain on the other, Chirac said, “Images! They always exaggerate.” He added: “It’s not Schroeder and me on one side, and Bush and Blair on the other; it’s Bush and Blair on one side and all the others on the other side.”

But, he said, “I am in a different position from that of the chancellor.”..

Chirac said he and Bush had a “friendly and warm” telephone conversation Friday, and that Bush would be

budgeted $30,000. Durham county has had three polling sites open on weekdays, four on Saturdays and one on Sundays.

Other officials, however, do not expect early to overcome the effect of a late primary election, “Anytime there is a change from what is normal, participation is down,” said Gary Bartlett, the State

Board ofElections director.

Most Durham citizens said the date change did not affect their decision to vote or who they would vote for. Durham resident D.C. Rhyne, who participated in early voting in the state’s last general election, said he is not sure the late primary has changed his vote. “I usually wait until the time ofthe election comes close before making my decisions so I can’t say [my vote] has changed,” he said.

tion’s case. The quest for broad support for any move against Saddam clearly pleased Chirac.

He appeared concerned, however, that the United States, if it acted alone, might undermine the international coalition formed to fight terrorism in Afghanistan and accentuate what he called rising anti-Americanism and anti-Western sentiment in developing countries."! am totally against unilateralism in the modem world,” he said.

He added that extreme care should be taken in preserving the coalition, suggesting that precipitate action against Iraq could unravel this alliance and alienate the Islamic world.

A collapse of the coalition would be especially dangerous at a time when Afghanistan remained treacherous and “the warlords we armed to fight alQaeda are not using the weapons against al-Qaeda but against each other,” Chirac said.

Still, he made clear that the use of force against Iraq, with France’s participation, could be envisioned. Asked whether military options to oust Saddam might be approved by the Security Council, he replied, “Nothing is impossible if it is decided by the international community on the basis of indisputable proof” of the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

But, he said, “For the moment, we have neither proof nor decisions.”

Despite the efforts of the Bush administration to link Iraq to al-Qaeda, Chirac said he had seen no evidence of a connection.

Bartlett said the late primary will impact more than just turnout. “Usually when we have lower turnout in elections strange things happen,” he said.

“Often, dark horse or underdog candidates win. No one can say it’s good or bad. It’s just part of the

process.”

Cobey noted the later date may impact the general election more than the primary.

“Given the shorter time frame, it will give whoever the Democrats [nominate] as a candidate for Senate less time to campaign,” he said.

Analysts consider Elizabeth Dole a lock for the Republican nomination this Tuesday. In the more competitive Democratic race, Erskine Bowles, Dan Blue and Elaine Marshall are among the more competitive candidates. a.m. Sept. 1, an employee reported that as he was cleaning the front steps

The Chronicle A more secure community

Less

than a year has passed since several reports of sexual assaults against students reawakened the Duke community to the dangers of such attacks, and two more reminders have come all too early this year. Last weekend, an 18-year-old visitor reported being raped on campus by a student she apparently knew, and last Thursday a student reported that a man armed with a gun broke into her home and raped her. Police officials say the cases appear unrelated, and no one has been charged yet in either case, but the alleged incidents should serve as a warning as well as a call to action.

The off-campus incident is shocking in its violence and its randomness. Police officials believe it may be connected to a series of rapes around Durham in recent weeks, and that possibility points to a need to be aware when traveling or living in areas that students may not know well. Like any city, Durham has its dangerous areas, and all community members should know their surroundings and avoid traveling alone. No Duke initiative could have prevented the reported rape with certainty, but both the administration and off-campus students could take small steps to help prevent another incident. Neighborhood watch programs and other community-based anti-crime measures have proved effective, and Duke could play a role in organizing such a system. Moreover, students should get to know their neighbors and work to create a community in which sexual assault is watched out for. The worst thing that could come from this incident is students pulling back from interacting with Durham.

Although details remain scarce, the reported rape on campus seems to describe a situation that is unfortunately very familiar to many Duke undergraduates. Too often, young women end up in dangerous situations with men they know, who, confident in the knowledge that many such incidents go unreported, then take advantage of the women.

Police officials have not said if alcohol factored in the situation or what other circumstances might have led to an assault, but all students—not just women—need to take precautions to prevent similar assaults in the future. Students should make sure to be with friends and know where their friends are. Drinking to excess also increases the risk of falling victim to an attack. Events such as last Saturday’s football win sometimes distract students from these responsibilities, but the dangers of sexual assault should always be in the back of a student’s mind.

The reason students need to be so conscious speaks to the culture that continues to allow sexual assaults to be accepted. This culture will not change overnight, but then again, it has apparently not changed all that much in the last several years. For all the recent discussion of alcohol policies and campus climate, dialogue on the need for more respect for women has not included those individuals who really need to be part of the discussion. Holding all men responsible for sexual assaults would be unfair and inaccurate, but the need for discussion and commitment among men remains.

New DukeCard policy violates our student rights I am outraged by the new policy announced in Megan CarroU’s Sept. 5 article that

alternatives (Edens, Trent and, to a lesser extent, Central Campus) are dismal.

Who can blame upperclassmen for moving off campus in response to the higher prioritization of sophomores in the housing, lottery and the administration’s persistent and inflexible attempts to sanitize West Campus of all activities involving alcohol?

Furthermore, it is also necessary to remind Thomason that Duke allows students to live off campus for one of the four undergraduate years. I, along with my fellow students, were unaware that the decision to live off campus would incur the scorn of

Duke Card access to residential buildings on campus. In particular, Fidelia Thomason’s remarks that off-campus students have been rightfully denied DukeCard access to dormitories because “They have chosen to live off campus” and to “not be a part of the residential community,” are flagrantly misguided and reveal an utter lack of understanding of the forces that have driven Duke upperclassmen off campus this year.

It is necessary to remind Thomason that sophomores have been granted a monopoly over Main West Campus,

which students had traditionally regarded as one of the main highlights of becoming

the housing administration as conveyed in Thompson’s statements, not to mention the

upperclassmen.

I do not live off campus, but many of my friends do. I am appalled that one of these friends recently had to stand in the rain and bang on a window in order to enter a dormitory where one of his friends lives. I am also appalled that off-campus students are being alienated and excluded. Most of all, I am appalled that this policy, like so many others preceding it, only drives students further away from the traditional, formerly vibrant center of campus life, West

Campus dorms.

Alcohol problems stem from U.S laws, not Duke I am from Canada. In Canada, we can drink when we’re 19 and undercover cops aren’t the only employees at liquor stores. And when a cop stops you for speeding, they don’t ask to see if you have a fake ID. I’ve now been in the United States for about two weeks and I wish to present to you my thoughts on this alcohol issue. When I left home, my friends laughed at me, joking about my “Orientation Week,” a painfully awkward and disturbingly dry five days. In Canada, they have “Frosh Week”: Seven days where the goal of every upperclassman is to get positively tanked with as many freshmen as possible.

I have read articles and heard upperclassmen whine about how Duke needs to return back to its past, more liberal drinking rules. But in reality, it is not the drinking rules of this University that cause the problems. Rather, it is the drinking laws of this fair country. In this, the most “democratic” of coun-

On

tries, how is it that an 18 year-old can elect representatives to the most important government in the world, but cannot enjoy a cold brew after a hard day’s work? How is it that this same person can be drafted and die for his country, but can’t drink? Why can I start a company, have a bank

account, hold property and sign my own legal docu-

ments, but I can’t legally

drink? In light ofthese facts, I make declaration right now that the drinking age of 21 in the U.S. is the most absurd and ridiculous law I

have ever heard of.

The drinking limit also increases the abuse of alcohol. When I was in Cancun this past Spring Break, I was with a group ofabout 50 kids from my high school.

We drank and partied and did all of the regular things that one would expect to do in Cancun. While there, I also made an observation.

The Americans were the biggest, most irresponsible drunks in the whole place

(it’s not your fault, I’ll explain in a second). And from this observation, I for-

mulated a theory: The drinking age of 21 does not limit underage drinking. Instead, it limits the frequency with

which youths can procure alcohol. As a result, binge drinking soars as people make up for lost time, and Americans tend to the extremes of drunkenness because (please don’t hate me for this) of a lack of

drinking experience. Rarely do people under 21 drink socially just to enjoy alcohol.

It is almost always in an

attempt to get drunk.

As I stroll around West Campus this weekend, desperately searching for free booze, I too will fall victim to this American phenomenon.

But I wont direct my frustration towards the administration of this University,

but rather towards the ledgers that contain the laws of this land.

Diversity will solve our problems? Please...

Did anyone see the smile on Nan’s face last week? She tried to hide it but you could tell. Nine years of her hard work finally paid off when our University won the most prestigious ranking it could ever imagine. Nine years of running this school as if were diversity the answer to every problem, jBBiL- i nine years of pumping money into any multicultural collection of stuEnglish dents that could come up with away to spend it, The Critical Theory nine years of hiring according to a litmus test of“commitment to diversity” and word had finally gotten out that Duke is the diversist of the diverse among America’s universities.

Could there be a greater honor? I imagine there were a lot of high fives and champagne toasts in the Allen and Flowers Buildings when the news broke. What must have been hard, though, was hiding the enthusiasm outside of the office.

Our administrators, after all, are not ones to rest on their laurels, because they all know that we still remain but in the earliest stages of the march to their idea of the good society. Thus, we witnessed administrators almost tripping over themselves last Thursday to assure Chronicle interviewers that so much remains to be done. Provost Peter Lange pointed out that students choose to live in a residential pattern that is not maximally diverse. Sally Dickson at the Office of Institutional Equity assured us that everything is not okay. Karla Holloway, dean of the humanities and social sciences, testified that the quantity of black faculty was not enough for her tastes, and the “Black Faculty Strategic Initiative” is regrouping for a better game plan.

Granted, there was a time when hiring someone because of the color of his or her skin was considered racist. Now, as long as it is the right color, it’s “progressive.”

In brief, though we know they were all patting themselves on the back for a ten *

year plan well done, our administrators took the occasion to point out how many areas have eluded complete domination by diversity and to express their disappointment. But surely these are all things that will only take time, manipulation, and Campus Council resolutions to fix.

No one has really stepped back and asked, “Has all this made us a better school?” or “Why have our national rankings declined in the last few years?”, likely because it wouldreveal the unpleasant fact that diversity isn’t the solution to all problems. Rather, our administration becomes more encouraged in believing that it can impose a campus vision from on high through the social engineering it has used in constructing an appearance of worthwhile diversity so far. The consequences ofthis position, however, become more and more pathetic each year. Such bizarre hubris has culminated this fall in the “Race, Sex and God” project, now prominently advertised on library computers, meant to move us students

“beyond the comfort zone.”

The basic premise behind the project is this: It is only because of our “comfort lev-

els” that we students don’t dialogue and resolve issues regarding “Race, Sex and God,” not because there are deep-rooted and perhaps irreconcilable philosophical divides of first principles, and if we could only artistically express our differences, we could see past our prejudices, have a fun time and become more enlightened individuals. The “Race, Sex, and God” initiative was set up with a healthy grant of $20,000 from the Wiegand Foundation to incentivize students to produce creative, visual or dramatic projects to address these three issues. Students can get $2OO to play around with, and if the entry is provocative and clever their quad might get a DVD player in a commons room. The program culminates in a “festival” to display these creations and to revel in thendiversity. This is the University’s answer to the oft-asked question of what it is doing to create an engaging intellectual climate among students. In practice, how-

THE SECOND GUNMAN: You, as a Duke student, cannot be expected to notice things all the time. That’s my job. I get paid to notice things around campus and document facts, so the student body will be informed. If you have a particularly nice student body, please contact The Chronicle; they’ll know where to find me This week’s noticing included this large structure. My friends took me ffiPk there to cure my munchies after the oe-UUINL/ football game. I was so toasted that I thought we won! Apparently I GUNMAN climbed onto the goalposts and proceeded to mount them in my undies.

Let me tell you, that cheesy omelet was great!

They mix in some sort of small flakes that really add pep! The student health fee covers bypass surgery, right? What?!?! It only covers the free condoms!?

Well, at least they’re fun to put on people’s doorknobs. I say Rick’s should jack their prices and hire an attractive waiter or two; they could run the Oak Room into the ground. Or they could change nothing and run the Oak Room into the ground.

After a few bites of cheesy goodness, I became curious as to my whereabouts. We had walked a great distance, possibly toward Edens, a direction rarely traveled. Probably not far enough, though. I once got lost there and woke up in a strange creek to the sound of trucks backing up. I asked my buddies

wants and that is a pleasant pillowpadded undergraduate culture at Duke that has people producing works that are nice to hang on the wall with fashionably “controversial” titles. It knows what students want, namely ambiguously accounted for cash grants and entertainment of some sorts. “Race, Sex, and God” is an attempt to make both happy. A number of things may come from this. Perhaps frats can gain a foothold in campus politics by sensitivity extortion. Frat: We’ll do a documentary on women’s issues if you pay for our kegs this weekend.

Administration: Throw in a diorama on racial inequality and we’ll make them Heineken. More likely, however is that differences regarding race, sex, and God will continue to resist mastery by therapeutic politically correct posturing and our administrative diversifiers will, despite their endless progress, have jobs for many years to come. Who would have thought tenure could be so easy?

ever, not only will this program likely contribute little to students’ actual intellectual work, but it also demonstrates how trite these issues have become to our administrative officials and low they will stoop to get students to conform to the administration’s peculiar visions.

What would the response be to the math department if it organized a carnival for students to wrestle with their solutions to differential equations? What vision of intellectual fife guides a project that considers personal expression and a fiesta the elements of a rigorous exploration of a difficult topic? A low one—but this is okay because the administration is interested in producing a spectacle, not in any real intellectual battles. Since when has the University been interested in provocative discussions about race? It certainly didn’t volunteer any funds for David Horowitz last year. When the festival concludes, will Duke provide its own correct answers to questions of sex, like it does in freshman orientation? And why is it necessary to bribe students to participate in this event?

The administration knows what it

All that cursing made me hungry, so I decided to hit up Subway. Wait, did I say “Subway”? I hear Subway is going to open right around the time the Independent Corridor becomes a social force on campus.

So back to the WEL I went. I ducked in after a resident to find red bricks, waist high as far as I could see. Two years and millions of dollars for this ugliness? I kicked the bricks in disgust, only to hear

where exactly we were, and they were told that all was well, we were in the West-Edens Link. Sprite shot out my nose when I thought of that one.

I thought it might make a good story. Students would definitely want to be aware of a new dorm on campus, so I started investigating. A quick stroll around the perimeter got me pretty lost. At one point, I pointed to the back of a West Campus dorm and asked somebody which one it was. She told me it was HH2. I have no idea where HH2 is, so I asked her what was there last year. She told me she lived on East last year. I delayed my investigation for a period of 30 minutes, during which I cursed the new

Department has ever looked speedy. Special Officer Doofy was there, ticket pad in hand. Five minutes after the fire trucks arrived he was spotted proudly placing a $lOO fire lane ticket under the wiper of the Durham Fire Marshal. Angered by this, the Fire Marshal spent the next day doing fire drills in the Bryan Center. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta was quoted as saying, “There are a couple of pieces of information we need to find: Why it took so long to turn it off and how to make sure this will not happen again.” Students were also left wondering, “How can we make sure Larry Moneta will never happen again?”

A somewhat drunken, portly redheaded fellow, speaking on the condition of anonymity, revealed the final phases of master plan to me. He said, “They [Mother Russia] sent Moneta here to turn Duke students into pets for foreign petting zoos. The groundwork starts freshman year for Randolph residents, as we acclimatize them to small living spaces. When their housing is linked to the WEL, we tell them their rooms are bigger, but they really aren’t. Then we take away their water fountains and install hamster-style water bottles in the hall.”

He took a swig from a silver can in his left hand, and another from his right, before continuing: “The Randolph kids who didn’t do well in the hamster experiment got flooded. Plan B involves turning them into goldfish. 01’ Larry’s gonna sprinkle some fish food in the eggs at the diner to speed things up!”

He then tiptoed in the direction of Pauly’s cart.

THE SECOND GUNMAN would like to toss a shout-out all the Southgate kids linked to Edens.
