Morgan to open up monitoring � Unlike in past years, Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan is taking applications for Krzyzewskiville line monitors.

By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

Afterward, the rain fell down on the celebrating Blue Devils, washing away some of the painful and frustrating memories of last year’s losing season.

“Last year’s game [a 4-0 defeat at Clemson] rested in all our heads really big time,” senior co-captain Donald Mclntosh said. “They kind of embarrassed us last year. And we wanted to come out and get them back.... This puts last season behind us—all the overtime losses last year. We’re just ready to go.”

It may be the equivalent of the Civil Service Act for the town of Krzyzewskiville.

Departing from tradition, Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan is accepting applications for students who want to be line monitors during tenting season. In Jeremy Morgan past years, the head line monitor has chosen his associates—students who enforce tenting rules in K-ville—from his friends or based on recommendations.

Morgan hopes to select his 25 line monitors by fall break.

“There’s never been applications before,” said Morgan, a senior. “I wanted

“We worked every day this week on kicks, because we get fouled a lot,” head coach John Rennie said. “Trevor is capable of hitting that kind of serve. He hit the right kind of serve—it’s over the defense, it’s a problem for the keeper, maybe they head it out for a comer [or] maybe we get a shot. This one went all the way through.”

With the United States pushing for action against Iraq and oil prices rising on fears ofwar in the Persian Gulf, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is being pressed to pump more oil to soothe jittery markets.

But as the cartel prepares for its meeting in Osaka, Japan, Thursday, members have indicated that OPEC will probably do nothing to rein in prices, which have risen 24 percent since mid-June and hover around $3O a barrel.

The cartel has 11 members, but one, Iraq, is not allowed to vote because ofUN. sanctions.

OPEC is grappling with the same uncertainty about the global economy and intervention in Iraq as is the rest of the world. When the cartel has faced a cloudy picture in the past, it has chosen to wait and watch. Industry experts

But Foreign Minister Saud alFaisal said Sunday on CNN that if the U.N. Security Council authorizes military action against Iraq, “Everybody is obliged to follow through.”

In another interview, with the London-based newspaper A1 Hayat, Saud urged Saddam Hussein’s regime to quickly allow U.N. weapons inspectors back into Iraq to head off a new Security Council resolution that could open the way for military action.

President George W. Bush demanded last week that the United Nations force Iraq to comply with resolutions requiring U.N. supervision of the destruction of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

He warned that America will act, alone if necessary, if the Security Council doesn’t.

Jordan, a neighbor of Iraq that faced an influx of refugees during the 1991 Gulf War and worries about the repercussions of another war, also called on Iraq to implement the various Security Council resolutions, including the return of U.N. weapons inspectors.

Compliance would spare the region “the dire consequences” of war, Jordanian Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher told the U.N. General Assembly on Sunday.

said they expected the same response this week.

Moreover, these analysts said, just as the possibility of war in Iraq has driven oil prices higher, the uncertainty confines and complicates what OPEC can do to bring down prices. Saudi Arabia, which dominates the group and often gives in to Western pleas to moderate prices, is wary of how overtures to help the biggest oil consumers, especially the United States, would be viewed by the rest of the Muslim world, analysts said.

“The last thing the Saudis want with a crisis to the north oftheir border is a crisis within OPEC as well,” said Mehdi Varzi, president ofVarzi Energy, an energy consulting firm in London. “They wouldn’t want to be seen to be openly helping the West when the Palestinians are still See OPEC on page 10

The Mary Lou Williams Center renovation is part of a larger project of assessing whether current space allocation fulfills the needs of the staff and students of various campus life offices and centers, said Zoila Airall, assistant vice president for student affairs and campus life.

Finalization of renovation plans for the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture has been postponed from its originally planned deadline of this summer.

Officials said the center’s expansion has been delayed by prospective construction projects in several other offices, including the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life and the Division of Student Activities

cruitment rule orientation meeting is scheduled for all sophomore sorority members.

Manley said recruitment counselors will give additional support and guidance to the freshmen when they meet with the counselors before winter break. First-year students will know what to expect during recruitment when they return in January. Manley hopes new recruitment counselors will establish better relationships with their advisees than in the old system.

Kasey Miller, president of Alpha Omicron Pi, said recruitment officers will benefit potential members. “If the recruitment officers can make better connections with the girls they are advising, they can help relate to their advisees on a more personal level and be a bigger help to them during recruitment,” she wrote in an e-mail.

But closer relationships between the recruitment officers and potential members could make the recruitment officer’s job as an unbiased advisor more difficult, said senior Courtney Slagle, president of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

“The role of the recruitment counselor is to provide an objective view of greek life, and sometimes the best way to learn this information is from girls with whom one is not as close,” Slagle wrote in an e-mail. “Also, if a close relationship is formed, it would make it harder for the counselor not to reveal the group with which she is affiliated.”

From staff reports

Rick’s disturbance reported

Tools lifted

At 3:25 a.m. Sept. 8, Duke University Police Department officers responded to a call at Rick’s Diner in reference to three males believed to be of student age causing a disturbance by throwing food on the floor, walls and serving counters. The students also picked up dining chairs and threw them off the elevated patio area, breaking them and causing $375 in total damage. The subsequent investigation identified the students.

The case has been referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Construction workers in the Center for Human Genetics reported that between 12:45 p.m. and 12:50 p.m. Sept. 7 a 5’10” white male, 35 to 40 years old, average build, wearing a white T-shirt, tan shorts and white shoes, took a $1,200 red Laser level, a $3OO red and black Hilti ram set gun, a $2OO set of wrenches and a $5O blue and white folding tool bag for wrenches from the bed of a truck belonging to Mid Atlantic Infrastructure Systems, Inc.

Police determined the bullet was fired from the direction of Shirley Street and was shot between 4:45 p.m. Sept. 9 and 1:45 p.m. Sept. 10. The bullet traveled through two panes of glass valued at $2,000 and came to rest inside a sheet rock wall, where it was later recovered.

By BEN DOBBIN Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. An alleged terrorist cell based in western New York and trained by Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda network had been on the U.S. government’s radar since before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a prosecutor said Sunday.

The investigation into the Lackawanna cell began in early summer 2001, about the time records say the men returned from Afghanistan, said Michael —

“What essentially happened is that information came to our attention that pointed us in the direction of these in-

the cell intensified this month.

Federal authorities who announced the arrest of the members of the alleged terror cell said bin Laden himself lectured the men on his anti-American beliefs while they were in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in the months leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks.

The men came home to Lackawanna, 5 miles south of Buffalo on the

shore ofLake Erie, in June 2001. Federal agents said they had no information the cell was planning an attack in

the United States.

Relatives of the men have denied they were involved with al Qaeda. Officials said the discovery of the terrorist cell was connected to information that also prompted President George W. Bush’s administration to raise America’s terror alert to “code orange,” the second-highest,on Sept. 10.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Peter Ahearn said Saturday that the investigation was continuing and appealed for help from anyone who might have some information. He also said that authorities believe key figures in western New York have been caught.

The men appeared in a Buffalo courtroom Saturday in handcuffs and shackles and were charged with providing material support and resources to foreign terrorist organizations.

The judge entered a “not guilty” plea for each and ordered the men jailed until a detention hearing Wednesday.

According to the criminal complaint unsealed by the judge Saturday, the five New York men—Shafal Mosed, 24; Faysal Galab, 26; Sahim Alwan, 29; Yasein Taher, 24 and Yahya Goba, 25—five within a few blocks of each another in Lackawanna

and trained together in Afghanistan.

“At this point in time, we’re not sure they have in fact committed a crime,” James Harrington, a court-appointed lawyer for Alwan, told CNN.

RAMALLAH, West Bank Many Palestinians say they no longer are willing to put up with Yasser Arafat’s absolute rule a turning point in the history of a people largely shaped by one man.

The challenge is led by Arafat loyalists, raising for the first time the possibility that he may have to give up some power though his ability to survive and outwit his opponents is legendary. Although the issue driving the current rebellion is official corruption and mismanagement, it also is clear that there is growing dissatisfaction with the handling of two years ofviolence with Israel that have left the Palestinian territories in mins.

The boycott has turned Arafat into a lonely prisoner.

He receives some delegations and the occasional envoy from the European Union or United Nations, but the steady stream of foreign ministers to his Ramallah compound has stopped.

SORORITIES from page 3 ment orientation Oct. 7, which replaces rush previews as the method of assigning spaces for rush, will prevent “dirty rushing” this fall.

“The new members will be made aware of the [recruitment] process,” Manley said. She said it will help these women understand what a recruitment violation is and how the violation is processed by a judicial committee.

Sorority members have an incentive to attend this session, earning points to receive their top room preferences and themes during recruitment.

Miller explained rush previews were an ineffective way to gain “space points,” which determine the order in which sororities choose the rooms in which they will conduct meetings for prospective members, and Panhel members needed to devise a new process.

“Rush previews simply wasn’t working in the way that it was intended to work, and a new system was needed,” she wrote. “If the new meeting is done well, I think it can definitely be helpful to the chapters and the whole Panhellenic recruitment process.”

Sorority leaders said the recruitment rule meeting will be an effective

way to inform members of Panhel policies and procedures.

“I think the new recruitment workshop will educate all our members so that all chapters are starting out with the same expectations of each other,” said senior Becky Abraham, president ofDelta Gamma.

Panhel leaders have also supported a measure that will permit freshmen to pay the recruitment fee only if they decide to join a sorority. In the past, potential members had to pay a fee when they applied. Manley said she hopes this change will lead more women to rush.

“I probably wouldn’t even have considered it ifI had to pay” freshman Jen Martini said. “I definitely would’ve been more hesitant [to rush].”

Miller said that potential members might feel less obligated to “stick out” recruitment if they do not have to pay before the process begins.

“It creates a sort of no-risk, no-obligation kind of feeling for the girls going through recruitment,” she said. “It might make’the decision to drop out easier.”

Slagle wrote that the postponement of the fee is not a positive change.

“Girls need to be made more aware that pledging membership to a sorority entails a certain financial obligation,” she wrote.

Women’s soccer shocks No. 14 Florida Gators Casey McCluskey’s 8-yard goal 3 minutes into overtime gives Duke rare home win vs. UF 6

romc e

2 The women’s soccer Duke team returned from Florida 1 this weekend’s road trip with a pair of wins over Central Florida and No. 14 Florida at the Adidas Showdown in Gainesville, Fla. The Blue Devils followed up their 30 win over Central Florida Friday by defeating the Gators in a thrilling 2-1 overtime game Sunday afternoon, with Casey McCluskey netting both goals for Duke.

With just over three minutes into the first sudden-death overtime, McCluskey used her lightning-quick speed to beat the Gator defense and create a breakaway for herself. The sophomore midfielder let her shot rip from eight yards away and scored her second golden goal this season.

“Florida is a final four team from last year and they’ve won a national championship,” head coach Robbie Church said. “Anytime you get a win at Florida it is a very, very precious thing.”

Despite being outshot by Florida 8-4 in the first half, Duke made an attacking run that drew a penalty kick for McCluskey with three minutes remaining in the half. She subsequently buried the shot behind Florida goalkeeper Jordan Kellgren and gave the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead.

Church then decided to preserve both the lead and some ofhis players’ energy by changing strategy for the second half.

“It was very hot and very humid,” Church said. “We had to do some things tactically to change the pace. We compacted our defense and tried to play their outside players tougher because they were very fast.”

With more players in the back, Duke forced Florida to struggle to get quality scoring opportunities. The Gators were unsuccessful with their first five shots of the second half, including one penalty kick which Duke goalie Katie Straka denied. Straka’s eight saves in the game were possibly the most impressive statistic for the Blue Devils.

“Katie did a fantastic job in the goal

today,” Church said. “She stopped a penalty shot and was tremendous at coming out and collecting the balls in the air.”

After a 25-minute lightning delay in the second half, both teams were well-rested from the heat and the Gators were ready to make an offensive surge. With about five minutes remaining on the clock, Florida pushed the ball into the Blue Devils’ half and made one last attempt at tying the game. Defender Candace Rivers found the back of the net at the 87:35 mark in the game when she rifled the ball

past Straka.

The Blue Devils handily defeated the Golden Knights from Central Florida 3-0 in the first match of the Adidas Showdown Friday afternoon.

Carolyn Riggs chalked up two goals and Gwendolyn Oxenham scored the other in the win.

“We had a lot ofchances against Central Florida,” Church said. “We shared the ball very well but we still have to work on finishing.”

Volleyball drops 3 straight matches in Duke Classic After winning 8 straight to start season, the Blue Devils lost to American, UCSB and Wisconsin

By JESSE COLVIN The Chronicle

JENNYMAO/THE CHRONICLE

KRISTA DILL goes up for a kill during the Blue Devils’ loss to the No. 18 Gauchos.

The volleyball team lost big twice SatWisconsin 3 urday in Cameron Indoor Stadium Duke 0 falling to No. 18 UC-Santa Barbara 30 (30-16,30-24,30-22) and No. 12 Wisconsin 3-0 (30-19, 30-15, 30-15) in the Duke Classic. The Blue Devils narrowly lost to American the previous day.

Duke’s record now stands at 8-3 after beginning the season a perfect 8-0.

The Blue Devils kept each game close before letting the Badgers go on big runs to turn close scores into gaping margins of victory. Wisconsin broke all three games open with runs of 17-9 in the first game, 22-7 in the second game, and 21-5 in the last. However, neither the Duke players nor their head coach Jolene Nagel were ready to concede inferiority.

“We have the skill and manpower to play with these teams, but we didn’t play like we could have,” said senior middle blocker Rachel Vander Griend, who had four kills against the Gauchos and four kills and .250 hitting percentage against the Badgers.

Nagel agreed with Vander Griend.

“We didn’t come to play our best volleyball this weekend,” she said. “We didn’t execute as well as we should have. We didn’t do the little things well.”

The Blue Devils only had one player in double digits in kills—Katie Gilman who tallied 10 kills and a .364 hitting average.

Wisconsin was able to break away because Duke was having defensive lapses and was making unforced errors.

“We made stupid mistakes, and that’s what’s so frustrating,” Vander Griend said. “We weren’t making those mistakes when we were winning.”

The Badgers were led by Lisa Zukowski, Lori Rittenhouse and Amy Hultgren. All three had more than 10 kills, and Rittenhouse had an attack percentage of .579.

Nagel said she thought her team did not come out with a high enough level of intensity against Wisconsin. She also pointed to the close loss Friday night against American, saying that it may have hurt the team’s morale.

‘We need to be more consistent,” said junior middle blocker Krista Dill.

In the morning game against the Gauchos, the Blue Devils also struggled in the 3-0 loss. Duke had two players with more than nine kills, highlighted by Dill’s 12. Dill also paced the team in hitting average with a mark of .267.

Nagel commended Dill for her play Saturday, saying she had the most consistent performance of all her players.

Santa Barbara managed to have three players with more than 13 kills, including Francina Edmonds’ 17.

Edmonds and Courtney Guerra had hitting percentages of .448 as well.

The Blue Devils next face North Carolina A&T Tuesday at home in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Before then, the team hopes to rediscover its formula for winning.

“We are just going to work our butts off in practice and hope we find our confidence again,” Vander Griend said.

By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

EVANSTON, 111.

For nearly three quarters of football Satur■ Duke (1-2) showed semblances of greatness, handling Northwestern (1-2) to the tune of a 2113 advantage. But by the end of the game in Evanston, 111., the Wildcats had rebounded from their early woes to beat Duke 26-21.

Duke’s refreshing play began to go sour when junior tailback Chris Douglas re-injured an ankle injury in the second quarter. Duke also sustained injuries to backup tailback Cedric Dargan and starting defensive tackle Demetrius Warrick.

Duke persevered, however, grabbing a 21-13 lead early in the third quarter, keeping hopes alive that they could improve their program’s record against Northwestern to 8-5. The Blue Devil running attack was forceful; the defense was responsive; quarterback Adam Smith was accurate; and play calling was intelligent.

In the remaining sixteen minutes of play, however, Duke errors allowed Northwestern to rally and end their eight-game losing streak, seizing a lead they would never relinquish with 10:39 remaining in the game.

“I feel we had a great chance to win,” junior fullback Alex Wade said.

“It’s a game we should have won, but you’ve got to give them credit. We handed them the ball and they capitalized on it.”

Despite a career game from Wade in which he bulled his way to 134 hard-

fought yards with a 5.4 average per

rush, Duke could not score after the 10:21 mark in the 3rd quarter. Wade explained Duke’s deterioration with a sim-

ple—yet ironic—metaphor.

“When it rains, it pours,” Wade said.

Quarterback Adam Smith, who solidified his starting role going 13-26 for 188 yards and two touchdowns, agreed with Wade’s assessment.

“I don’t think there’s really any way to express the disappointment,” Smith said. “We did a good job on offense except for just three plays.”

Those three plays—a fumble from Khary Sharpe recovered by the Wildcats, a miscommunication with a receiver leading to an interception, and a poor handoff to Douglas that was fumbled and also recovered by Northwestern—were magnified by a handful of false start penalties and mishandled snaps. The lapses were fatal for head coach Carl Franks’ much improved squad, and eliminated hopes of a Duke victory over Northwestern for the first time since 1998.

“We certainly helped Northwestern beat us,” Franks said. “That, combined with big plays on their part.”

Whether or not Duke’s players got nervous after monopolizing the game is moot.

It appeared as if the Blue Devils were unable to maintain a high level of play, and in fact returned to the Duke of old in their

setback to the Wildcats.

“We didn’t play our best,” Franks said. “And even playing that way we had a chance to win.”

On their first drive of the game, Duke’s offensive line pummeled Northwestern, creating spaces for both Wade and Douglas. The highlight of the djive was a 41-yard pass play to tight end Andy Roland. Smith lobbed a beautiful ball overtop of the defense to a streaking Roland who was brought down at the Northwestern 21. Douglas would even-

Clawed: Blue Devils tually score on an eight-yard dash over the right guard.

“Our offensive line did a great job,” Wade said. “They were getting 4 or 5 yard chunks every play.”

Duke’s second scoring drive was marked by a 51-yard reverse by true freshman Ronnie Elliot. A shrewd play call, Smith handed the ball to Elliot while in motion, then made a ball fake to Wade. Elliot found a crease along the left sideline and ran virtually untouched to the Northwestern eight yard line where he was shoved out of bounds. Duke would score a few plays later on a bootleg pass to a wide open Roland in the end zone.

The Wildcats rallied at the end of the second quarter to cut the lead to 14-13 at halftime. The momentum shifted back to the Blue Devils on their opening drive of the second stanza.

Duke marched 80 yards down the field, with bursts from Douglas of three, four, six, and 10 yards; gains by Wade of one, five, and six yards; and a first down pass from Smith to Senterrio Landrum for seven yards.

Smith then flung a spiraling ball along the right sideline to a wide open Khary Sharpe who strutted into the end zone, completing the drive in a timely 4:39.

“Smith was hitting some people today,” Franks said.

Then something happened. To capitalize a steady drive, Northwestern scored on a 32-yard reverse run that left Ted Roofs defense perplexed. A second score, a one yard scamper from quarterback Brett Basanez, came on the heels of consecutive crossing patterns to Northwestern receiver Jon Schweighardt, moving the Wildcats 72 yards closer to the end zone.

Duke’s defense gave Smith and company a few extra chances, thanks to acrobatic interceptions by Alex Green and Terrell Smith late in the second half.

Duke could not take advantage, though, gaining just one first down before going four-and-out at midfield.

In the end, Duke’s mishaps proved too costly as Northwestern’s offense was able to muster just enough offense—43o yards worth—to outperform the Blue Devils, who accumulated 428 yards.

“We’re all down right now,” Franks said.

W 7a

� Two of the nation’s worst football programs met in a match that no one outside of Duke and Northwestern cared about, yet it somehow it was a big contest for both schools.

Sitting alone in my hotel EVANSTON, 111. room, having just returned from Northwestern’s 2621 win over Duke, I flipped on the television to find my hometown favorite Ohio State Buckeyes in a grudge match with Washington State. At the time I started watching, OSU was losing by the modest deficit of 7-6. Soon, however, freshman Maurice Clarett took over the game, running by and with y., defenders en route to a 230-yard perCorey formance and a 25-7 victory.

Game Commentary Following the game, I begrudgingly watched postgame analysis from the best trio of commentators in college sports—Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, and Chris Fowler. They analyzed the minutia of each Big Ten game that day, extrapolating and interpreting the strength of the conference by the performances of the member schools. OSU-Washington State was of course reported, as was another game with BCS implications, Michigan-Notre Dame. The triumvirate then breezed through statistics and highlights from Wisconsin-Northern Illinois, IllinoisArkansas State, and Minnesota-Toledo.

There was a notable exception, however.

Where the hell was Northwestern-Duke? Are the

Wildcats not one of the charter members of the Big Ten? Didn’t they play Saturday? Could it be that a Big Ten-ACC matchup was more frivolous than that of a game between the Big Ten and—laughter please—the Sun Belt Conference?

Apparently.

The truth of the matter is, the sports world cared little about the outcome of the Duke-Northwestem game.

In a game pitting two of major college football’s most despondent programs, there were no BCS bowl hopes in danger nor Heisman Trophy chances dashed. Why, then, did a fan site for Northwestern claim that this contest was one of the most significant in Wildcat history?

Besides the natural correlation between the two schools because of academic prowess, Northwestern and Duke will forever be linked because of two unforgettable streaks of losing. Northwestern, of course, holds the NCAA record for the longest losing streak at 34 games, set more than a decade before any current players were playing Nerf football. Duke, as you recall, was recently streaking towards the record. It ceased at 23, along with a lower standard for the football team’s success.

Saturday it showed. The Blue Devils played knowing that they were the better team. That attitude was evident in their early dominance, buoyed by offensive and defensive line play that was nothing short of stellar.

Sophomore quarterback Adam Smith was, for a time, excellent. Head coach Carl Franks was crafty, utilizing team speed and clever offensive stunts to confuse Northwestern’s defense. Fullback Alex Wade plowed through Northwestern’s defense like a Sherman tank.

But, as Wade pointed out following the game, a

land attack is only as useful as its versatility and aerial complements.

“We need Chris healthy to make some big plays,” Wade said. “I’m not fast like he is, we need his speed.”

Smith fell apart when his team needed him the most.

This is probably more attributable to his youth and inexperience then his obvious capabilities as a Division I quarterback, but his inconsistency and poor decisions in the fourth quarter were detrimental nonetheless.

“I didn’t put some balls where they needed to be,” he said.

Perhaps this game was a bildungsroman for Smith and the Blue Devils. After being asked how important making “big plays” was to Duke’s offense, Smith calmly responded with a resolve and wisdom not customary of players starting just their third college game.

“What we need to do is make the small plays in between,” he said.

Franks sees the improvement in Smith, as well.

This is evidenced by Franks’ decision to not only start Smith, but to play him in the entire second half.

He still concedes, however, that Smith still has a long way to go.

“He was playing pretty good,” he said. “We left him in because he was playing the best. Adam’s still learning how to play right now.”

So as I watch Sportscenter for the third and fourth times in the waning hours of Sunday morning, I’m solaced by more than the quips of Kenny Mayne. Duke football is, indeed, on the rise, despite a disappointing loss to Northwestern yesterday. And soon, if all goes well, my psychologists at ESPN will nary forget to cover Duke games.

Cross country dominates Lou Onesty Invitational

By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

Youth can often be a disadvantage to collegiate cross-country teams, but, if Saturday’s victories at the Lou Onesty Invitational in Charlottesville, Va., are any indication, a plethora ofyoung runners on both the No. 11 women’s and No. 20 men’s squads are poised to lead the Blue Devils to one of their most competitive seasons ever.

Nowhere was the triumph of youth more evident than in the women’s race, where five freshmen led Duke (29 points) to a solid victory over 10 teams, including William & Mary (47 points) and No. 16 Virginia (52 points).

“Overall, this was a very good start to the season,” head coach Jan Ogilvie said.

“There were very few negatives today.”

Leading the charge was freshman Caroline Bierbaum, who finished first overall in a time 0f16:59, which is also a personal record. In her first collegiate race, Bierbaum established an early lead and distanced herself from the rest of the pack over the 5,000-meter course.

“I was really happy with my time,” Bierbaum said. “I was a little worried that I came out too fast, but I was able to keep the lead.”

Bierbaum’s closest competition was

fellow freshman Clara Horowitz, who finished in 17:32, good for second overall. Rounding out the Blue Devils’ top-5 runners were freshmen Shannon Rowbury (6th; 17:58), Sally Meyerhoff (Bth; 18:05) and Laura Stanley (12th; 18:08).

Last year’s top runners, sophomores Paige Miller and Paris Edwards, also had solid races, finishing in 14th and

16th places, respectively.

“I think this is a good indication of

where we’ll be later in the season,” Ogilvie said. “We’ll only get stronger as the season goes along.”

In addition to the women’s dominance, the men’s squad also had a very strong day. Duke (26 points) edged No. 16 William & Mary (34 points) and soundly defeated third-place Virginia (77 points) by placing five runners in the top 10.

“They gave us a heck of a fight,” said head coach Norm Ogilvie of the Tribe.

“They put out a strong team, and it was a real battle out there.”

The men were led by the one-two punch of junior Chris Williams, who finished the 8,000-meter course first overall in a time of 24:28, and sophomore Michael Hatch, who finished second

“We deserved to win, but beating the number two team in the country... it’s exactly what we needed,” he said.

The Blue Devils, who outshot Clemson 15-10, opened the game by chal-

lenging the Tigers and getting a handful of early shots. Duke had a few good scoring opportunities before the 42nd minute, when Perea brought the ball up the left side of the box and crossed the ball to Jordan Cila, who was charging in on the six. Gila’s shot was deflected, ricocheted off the post and was cleared. But the clear went straight to Mclntosh, who blasted a shot from 30 yards out that next made contact with

“It wasn’t one of those games where they were the better team and we were just packing it in and trying to get the breakaway goal,” Mclntosh said. “We wanted to come out here and play. We didn’t want to sit back.”

Ricky Lewis flicked it across the goal with a header and Kenneth Cutler buried it in the goal, During the next twenty minutes of frenetic soccer, both teams had good scoring opportunities, but Warren and Duke keeper Justin Trowbridge had key saves, Duke dominated both overtimes and nearly scored with six minutes left in the first when Perea took the ball with his back to the goal at the edge of the penalty area, turned and fired a shot off

the post. In the next overtime, Perea was able to sneak in the game winner.

“We feel like we’ve played better than every team we’ve played against this season,” Perea said. “Last week, losing to South Carolina, we didn’t feel that was a scoreline that represented the way the game should have gone....

This was a fair scoreline. We played even with them and we had better scoring chances. I think we earned some re-

spect here.”

to use applications so that people could have the opportunity to try to get involved if they wanted to.”

Selecting line monitors from among friends assured past head line monitors that they could depend on their appointees, said senior Brian Goldfarb, who was a line monitor last year and also a candidate for the head line monitor position.

“The reason that there hasn’t been a formal application process [is] the head line monitor needs to have a very trusted group of people to work with,” Goldfarb said.

By opening up the position to more students, Morgan risks appointing line monitors who will not enforce the rules fairly, Goldfarb said. However, he remained optimistic about the process.

“I think [the application process] is a valiant effort to be more inclusive to the Duke community, as long as [Morgan] gets a group of people he can trust,” Goldfarb said. “I think it’s something that needs to be tried.”

Trustworthiness is one quality Morgan said he is looking for in applicants—a quality he hopes to discern by interviewing

each candidate.

“If they’ve been extremely involved in the tenting process, then they understand the importance of integrity in the process,” he said. “Ideally, I’m looking for upperclassmen that

are big basketball fans... or that

have leadership experience.”

Morgan added that he would prefer West Campus residents, for whom K-ville is more easily accessible, although he will not necessarily accept only applicants who live on West.

Last spring, some students

opposed Morgan’s appointment, citing his lack of tenting experience and his commitments to other organizations. Although Morgan, also president of the Inhad terfraternity Council, missed only a few basketball games since his freshman year, he had never tented. DSG eventually approved Morgan by a 29 to 10 vote, with four abstentions.

Clifford Davison, Duke Student Government vice president for facilities and athletics, said he favored the new process, which he felt could establish a fair system and help justify why each

line monitor was selected.

“I’m glad to see this happening,” he said. “My only disappointment is I wish it had happened sooner.”

The applications could also create a more diverse group of line monitors, Davison, a junior, said.

“In the long run, having a diverse group of line monitors will also attract a diverse group of people,” he said. “There’s a significant impact on campus culture [in K-ville]. Adding an element of diversity to that would

be great.”

Applications are available in the DSG office in the Bryan Center and are due Sept. 25.

TENTERS FOR MEN’S BASKETBALL get their IDs verified at a tent check last year with line monitors, who in the past have usually been friends of the head line monitor.

OPEC from page 2 getting hit and an American invasion is

brewing.”

Arab allies of the United States appear to be softening their resistance to an attack against Iraq now that President George W. Bush’s administration has appealed to the United Nations to enforce resolutions against Baghdad.

Egypt’s foreign minister, Ahmed Maher, said last week that his government would support an American strike against Iraq if it were approved by the United Nations. The Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, told CNN Sunday that if the United Nations ap-

proved attacks on Iraq, his country would permit its air bases to be used, a reversal of its earlier position. What is unclear is whether such flexibility will extend to increasing oil exports.

The reluctance to increase output stems in part from a conviction among most OPEC members that global markets have enough oil.

OPEC members say they think that prices have been driven higher by anxiety over war and the possibility of disruptions of oil shipments from the Persian Gulf, not by the balance between supply and demand.

“OPEC says, ‘Prices may look like $3O, but $2, $3, $4 of that may be hype and we don’t raise production based on

hype,”’ said Vahan Zanoyan, the chief executive of the Petroleum Finance Co., a Washington consulting firm. “So how do you respond to a market that isn’t based on fundamentals?”

Analysts are divided about what OPEC should do, given the swarm of political and economic uncertainties.

OPEC has reduced its output 3.5 million barrels since January, and is now producing 21.7 million barrels a day.

Normally, prices as high as they have been this year—on average about

$25 a barrel—are indicative of a

healthy global economy.

But several analysts said that this time, the prices are not a result of demand, but of supplies reduced by

“At any given time, a museum is only able to show 2 percent of its pieces.

With the new facility, we will be able to display more than that,” he said.

Among the new pieces acquired are two large, painted Egyptian sarcophagus masks. Anne Schroder, curator for research and exhibitions, explained that the pieces were done by an unknown artist during the Ptolemaic period. Helene Awad Wahba donated the pieces to the museum earlier this year.

The masks show detailed pharaoh faces with striking brown eyes and delicate features. Each is surrounded by a black and gold headpiece and is made from wood.

Elsewhere in the room, there is a large Roman sculpture believed to be the head of Bacchus, the Greek god of wine. Due to damage, which Schroder said occurred before DUMA acquired the piece, a fragment of the head has been lost. But from what remains, the artist had apparently intended the piece to be very realistic, Schroder added.

This first century marble piece is just one of many examples of the works that DUMA acquired this year and that will be featured in the museum’s new space.

Tucked away in one side of the storage area is a large canvas painting entitled “Madison Avenue”. The painting

OPEC and by Iraq, which has taken most of its exports off the market because of disputes with the United Nations over sanctions. The higher prices, in turn, analysts said, may be slowing the economic recovery.

At this time of year, oil companies and refiners in Europe and the United States usually build reserves of crude oil ahead of the heating season.

But stockpiles have been falling because few refiners are buying oil at high prices if there is chance they might fall shortly, “and the market is getting steadily tighter as we go into winter,” said Leonidas Drollas, the chief economist at the Center for Global Energy Studies in London. was done by a Russian artist named Shimon Okshteyn and it features a striking young woman in a delicate green dress standing in front of a store window with her white dog. The painting was done in 1985 and is currently on loan to DUMA from Sidney and Judith Myers, Schroder explained.

Duke students are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to view the works, Mezzatesta said, as well as thousands of other pieces that also make up the DUMA collection.

He expects the new museum will offer a welcoming environment for students. “We want students to go there to learn, look at art, take a class or even to read a book in our sculpture gar-

den,” Mezzatesta said.

One student who is excited about the prospect of viewing the new art pieces in public is sophomore Rachel Knox, who is currently fulfilling her pre-medicine requirements but also looking for ways to explore her creative nature.

“I have been interested in art my whole life. Scheduling conflicts here do not allow me to indulge in it as often as I would like,” Knox said. “The new museum sounds like it will provide more opportunities for me to do so in the future.”

For now, these priceless pieces sit in storage and wait for their viewers, but soon, in their new home, they are sure to draw crowds.

CRIME from page 4 rying case valued at $3OO, and caused damage to the $3O dash/stereo housing while his secured vehicle was parked at the Science Drive metered parking lot across from Fuqua.

DukeCard lost, purchases reported

Between 1:23 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. Sept. 13, a student lost her DukeCard in the East Campus quad area.

When she reported to the Card Office that her card had been lost, she learned that it had been used to make $245 worth of purchases.

Crime briefs are compiled from Duke University Police Department reports. Anyone with knowledge about those responsible for these or other crimes at the University can contact Lt. Davis Trimmer at 684-4713 or Durham CrimeStoppers at 683-1200.

MARY LOU from page 3 should have broken ground already, and for some reasons they haven’t,” Narvarte said. “On the whole I’m grateful for the multicultural center, but I want to see [all the renovation plans] come to fruition.”

Senior Troy Clair, another committee member said he was also hoping for more finalized plans.

“Things have definitely been moving more slowly than I would have like to have been moving,” he said..

“I would like to see some finalized plans by the time I graduate so we can see some commitment.”

Over the past three years, minor renovations have taken place, including a new wooden kitchen floor and changes to the back meeting hall. Due to increased programs and events, however, the center now needs additional expansions on a larger scale, Dunkley said.

“We have started to outgrow our capacity. We’re just bursting at the seams,” he said.

The renovations will allow for an expansion of the library, which currently holds 600 volumes, as well as more gallery display options for musical instruments and artwork. The meeting hall and gallery will be expanded and office space added. Officials are also planning a Duke-Durham outreach program.

Clair said he hopes the renovations will also increase the center’s visibility and accessibility.

“The idea is that one of the places to stay is in the West Union, but [the center] has to have a first floor presence. That’s very important to achieve the first goal [of visibility],” he said. “[The renovations] are supposed to add cultural space and also other facilities needed on campus more broadly.” He added that this could include dance rehearsal space.

Renovation plans took a significant step forward two years ago through a proposal for a free-standing Mary Lou Williams Center, written by Clair, Denis Antoine, Trinity ’Ol, and Bunia Parker, Trinity ’O2.

This developed into a proposal given to the Cultural Space Committee, which issued a final report in May 2001. The plan also drew ideas from a former proposal for increased space for minority groups by Spectrum Organization.

Letters to

Students have scant options when sick on weekends I write this letter primarily as a warning to other unsuspecting freshmen and the Duke community at large: Avoid, at all costs, falling ill on a weekend.

Thanks to a baffling system for student health emergencies and a sore throat, last Saturday, I learned that lesson the hard way.

I woke up in the early

afternoon with a red and very irritated pharynx.

Fearing strep throat, I located the Student Health Clinic

on East Campus (unmarked on any map I could find) and found that it was open only

Monday through Friday. I returned to my dorm, talked to a residential advisor, and learned that the Student Health Center on Flowers Drive would be able to help.

I rode a bus to Trent Drive Hall, on her advice, and found no signs present to indicate the Student

Health Center’s existence.

Trudging aimlessly through the pouring rain, I eventually decided to enter one of the structures in a large complex at the top of the hill that I soon found to be the Duke University Medical Center.

After nearly 20 minutes of bumbling through the abandoned building, I ran into a kind woman who directed me, in the sub-basement, to the Student Health Center. But my hope of getting medical attention was

short-lived—we looked on,

both of us in surprise, at the abandoned reception area, a metal gate in front of it.

My only recourse, she told me, was to reach a distant area of the building and take a special bus to Duke Hospital North (which I had never heard of) and go to the emergency room.

Deciding this plan to be a tad excessive for a sore

throat, I thanked her and went to the ground floor, prepared to head back to East. To my shock, however, nearly every marked “exit” turned out to be a locked emergency exit. I ended up escaping the labyrinth through a first floor

window, unsuccessful, back into the rain.

Maybe I missed something during orientation or maybe I just don’t know my way around campus well enough. But as far as I can tell, the clinic on East was closed; the center near Trent, out of service; and the emergency room, extraordinarily remote.

This situation poses a real problem for anyone unfortunate enough to get sick on a Saturday, and it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Flyer policy needed, but DSG will find alternatives Last year while riding the bus to East Campus, I could not help notice a list entitled “The Axis of Evil at Duke” and sure enough the newly enacted flyer policy was right up there. As a representative of the student body, I feel a

tremendous disappointment for seeing this policy go through and cause such confu-

sion. Undoubtedly, this frustration arises out of misinformation. With that said, let me try to clear this up.

The official flyer policy is

nothing new. In actuality it has been around since 1997. It was only last year through a University-wide collaboration that we decided to enforce it.

In the end, we wanted to bring

markets itself as a tourist haven and a mecca for fun and entertainment. Unfortunately, the whole state continues to be a punchline.

Echoing the voting and vote-counting controversy of the 2000 presidential election, last week’s Florida primaries were fraught with irregularities. Almost immediately after voting began Tuesday, reports arose of short-staffed polling stations and malfunctioning voting machines, which, in some cases, were not turned on until 5 p.m. Officials had to turn away possibly thousands of potential voters and Governor Jeb Bush had to extend voting by two hours. As in Nov., 2000, when the nation waited impatiently for Florida’s election officials to announce a presidential wiriner, this year’s turmoil has left the Democratic gubernatorial nomination uncertain. Tampa lawyer Bill Mcßride barely leads former U.S. attorney general Janet Reno, but Reno has rightly not yet conceded.

This is a national embarrassment, and the blame belongs with Jeb Bush and Congress, neither of which have taken strong enough steps to ensure proper voting procedures.

Jeb Bush and the Florida legislature agreed on a $32 million upgrade of the voting system after the 2000 election, but their efforts were obviously not sufficient. They should have tested their new systems more thoroughly before expecting them to work for millions of voters. They also should have ensured full levels of staffing and trained the poll workers on use of voting machines.

This would have required significantly greater resources, but considering how essential proper voting is to democracy, Jeb Bush and other Florida officials need to act.

The U.S. Congress should then follow suit. After a widely supported bipartisan effort in 2001, the push for broad election reform has fallen by the wayside. Florida is the most high-profile case of improper voting mechanisms, but other states are also sub-par. Just as barriers to suffrage caused Congress to act 40 years ago, national leaders need to establish a uniform system of voting in all states.

Only a committed, national initiative will prevent similar debacles from happening again and again.

Decades after voting rights legislation was supposed to ensure suffrage for everyone, voter disenfranchisement is simply unacceptable. America ought to be the model for democracy worldwide, but when voters are turned away from the polls, machines malfunction and reform is held hostage to partisan bickering, American democracy is tainted. Through new technology and more resources, Florida and Congress need to ensure that everyone who wants to vote can and that their votes will actually be counted

Attacking the beloved South

American by birth. Southern by the grace of God. Having lived in the South most of my life, I have heard that refrain hundreds of times. I have seen it plastered on bumper stickers and written in large print upon friends’ walls.

Southerners are incredibly proud of

Southern culture. They dismiss, sometimes in jest and sometimes not, the arrogant, fasttalking Yankees from the North. They rave about Southern hospitality, Southern food, Southern women and just about everything else that lies below the

notorious Klux Klux Klan and other assorted bigots. The tendency is to argue that it has always been the acts of extremists, of a small percentage of Southerners who did not represent the honor and high moral fiber of the rest.

Despite its ardent efforts, however, the South will never be able to wash its hands clean of the atrocities that took place routinely throughout its lands.

In reality, the South’s history is one of barbarous cruelty. Its long heritage is nasty, brutish and repellent, and its crimes against humanity cannot be pinned on some fringe minority.

For those of you eager to defend the beloved South, I direct your attention to “Without Sanctuary ,” a collection of photographs and postcards taken in the late 19th and early 20th-century depicting lynchings of Southern blacks and the huge crowds that attended them. The collection is available both in book form and also online at www.journale.com/withoutsanctuary.

The graphic brutality depicted in these images sickens the stomach.

Corpses burned, mangled and cut into pieces dangle in city streets. Most appalling of all, though, are the crowds. Dressed in their Sunday best,

In particular, Southerners take special satisfaction in venerating their rich heritage, from the War of Northern Aggression (more commonly known as the Civil War) up through to the present. The Confederate flag still flies all over the South, a beacon not of racism, many argue, but of Southern individuality and culture.

In the South, embarrassing truths are smoothed over. Slavery, Jim Crow

laws and segregated schools are simply ugly little isolated instances, events that took place long ago in a different time. The current attitude is that the modern South now represents the best ofAmerica. It is a land of gracious hospitality, a land where people still smile and talk to one another and whose people demonstrate true patriotism and

the thousands of onlookers stand around the bodies, smiling and chatting while a life has been tragically

Let’s examine one ofthese pictures.

On May 16, 1916 in Waco, Texas, Jesse Washington was hanged and tortured in front of a massive crowd. A mentally-retarded 17-year-old farm laborer accused of murder and then convicted in a Texas courtroom in a one-day trial, Washington found himself in front

THE SECOND GUNMAN parks in the fire lane Before I get started, I have an announcement to make. THE SECOND GUNMAN is turning pro after this season and would prefer to be called “Jay” from now on. Jay will refer to himself in the first person plural from here on out. Professional athletes and egomaniacs commonly refer to themselves in the third per- w' son, but we would like to set a stanJP 1 dard of originality.

Last night, we were bored and decided to solve the Duke parking f problem. We didn’t know who to conyur irLL tact about this, so we searched the for to SECOND “bureaucracy” Duke website pop up. GUNMAN see what would people at Unfortunately, the Microsoft got a little ahead of themselves when they made Windows XP. Monday, Monday After typing the letter ‘b’, the search field completed itself, reading “britney spears xxx.”

Apparently, we have searched for this before.

Although this is not what we originally wanted, the parking problem suddenly seemed insignificant.

We decided that Windows knows best, and that we really would rather check out the latest, greatest fake Britney pom. Besides, doesn’t Catherine Reeve work full-time on solving the parking problems? Her new plan is to create a community in the Blue Zone by hiring full-time “parking coordinators” to permanently reside in the best spot in each lot. Additionally, only those students who purchased a Blue Zone pass will be allowed in the lots. This eliminates the threatening presence of “non-dnvers” and poor people. Remember, they made a conscious choice to not participate in the Blue Zone community.

Back to porn, which reminds us our hard drive is nearly full. We ordered a new one a month ago, so it should be here any time soon. The lady with the big hair at the East Campus Post Office said it wasn’t in yet, but she seemed very excited about a new idea they were trying out to speed things up a little. She called it the “Pony Express.” Catchy name. I hope the '
