THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

ECGF considers attrition rates This is the first story in a five-part series examining attrition among graduate students.

Trustees hold light meeting

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

The Executive Committee of the Graduate Faculty is trying to discover why a third of graduate students leave the University without what they came for—a doctorate.

Concerned with both the human and financial implications of student attrition, the committee will study the more successful graduate departments and determine what they are doing in four areas that many agree could greatly affect the situation: the admissions process, student meeting space, faculty mentoring and career advising.

“As the Graduate School sees it, it’s a no-brainer,” said Lewis Siegel, dean of the Graduate School. “[Attrition] is the overwhelming major problem with doctoral education in the U.S The Graduate School is currently graduating students at about 63 percent—a higher rate than that of the nation’s graduate schools as a whole, which is less than 50 percent. The University’s interest in the topic coincides with a similar national conversation.

Attrition rates account for both students who drop out entirely and students who switch to master’s programs along the way. Two-thirds of attrition occurs in the second or third years. Another 20 percent happens after the sixth year, leaving only minimal attrition in year one and between years three and six.

From human and financial perspectives, the costs of attrition differ at each ofthese drop-out points.

“If you look at it from a pure human point of view, if you take the course work and then drop out after a year, you’re probably better off” Siegel said. “But no one believes if you stay here five, six, seven years and then drop out that that is a good thing.”

The financial perspective, Siegel added, is much dif-

ferent. Since the first few years of a graduate education incurs many costs for the University and the last few years generate research that “gives back” part of the University’s investment, it causes the University fewer financial difficulties when a graduate student drops out late in their career.

“To the extent thatit is our fault, we’re wasting our resources,” Provost Peter Lange said. “To the extent that we’re not doing our job well, we’re devoting resources of time and energy of some very smart and

With The Campaign for Duke about $BO million from its $2 billion goal, the need to meet the fundraising effort’s smaller targets is becoming much more pressing than the overall goal, Peter Nicholas, Campaign co-chair, told the Board of Trustees this weekend.

During the Trustees’ regular session Friday, Nicholas pointed to individual fundraising goals that remain unfilled. For example, donations for graduate student doctoral fellowships and for University-wide faculty chairs have reached only 58 percent and 32 percent of their respective goals. In addition, while some schools—including the School of Law and the Pratt School of Engineering—have surpassed their targets, other divisions such as the library system and Arts and Sciences will require more time.

“We want to benefit all areas that we’ve identified as strategic,” said Nicholas, also vice chair of the Board.

“Until we do that, we can’t call the campaign a success.”

Nicholas said fundraising efforts are on a $5.5-mil-

Duke will have more chances to gripe for the rest of the season with the Blue Devils’ 27-22 loss to the Virginia Cavaliers Saturday afternoon in Wallace Wade Stadium.

As in every close loss, “what-ifs” flooded the team’s thoughts. The subject most discussed by the coaches and players after the game was Duke’s handling of its last two downs of a drive with about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Duke had the ball on Virginia’s two yard-line on third down when Adam Smith threw an incomplete pass to wide-receiver Lance Johnson. Smith ex-

realized he should have thrown to a wide-open Khary Sharpe instead.

“I tried throwing it to the underneath guy when Khary Sharpe was wide open in the endzone,” Smith said. “If we had those extra four points, it would have been a tied game, and it might have gone into overtime or we might have won.”

On fourth and two, head coach Carl Franks, who is known for his liberal attitude on attempting fourthdown plays, decided to go for the field goal. Brent GarSee UVA in Sportswrap page 6

Friday night’s dedication of the Yoh Football Center represented another step in Duke’s commitment to producing a winning football team. President Nan Keohane began the ceremony by thanking all of the donors, about half of whom were former Duke football players.

“It is a tremendous day for Duke football,” she said.

“If you can’t get them with this, you can’t get them anywhere, and we are going to get them with this.”

Despite interruptions in her speech due to PA system troubles, Keohane acknowledged the campaign’s co-chairs Dr. Frank Bassett and Leo Hart. She was followed by Director of Athletics Joe Alieva, who paid tribute to Rob Lenoir. Lenoir, the former Blue Devil defensive tackle who died on Sept. 11, has an office on the fourth floor named in his memory.

Keohane then took the podium again to present gifts to the lead donors of the center. She introduced Spike and Mary Yoh.

Groups combine for voting drive

Losing My Religion Freshmen Question the Role of Faith in College Life

By Becky Young The Chronicle

P College Republicans, Duke Democrats and other groups have banded together for a massive voting registration drive, which will last through Thursday.

By ANNE BERRY The Chronicle

In an effort to promote political activism among undergraduates, various student organizations are collaborating on a two-week voter registration drive.

The initiative began last summer when the Office of Student Affairs suggested to Duke Student Government to take an active interest in organizing a drive. Duke is federally mandated to offer voter registration on campus, Assistant Vice President for Campus Life Zoila Airall said. She added that her office is pleased this year’s drive includes more campus-wide collaboration than in years past.

Along with DSG, other student organizations have joined together to conduct the registration campaign, including the College Republicans, Duke Democrats, Progressive Alliance, Duke NAACP, Black Student Alliance, Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council, as well as the nonprofit organization Vote For America. Coalition leaders said they hope the variety of interest groups involved will help students recognize the importance of voting in local elections.

“By combining with other groups, we are promoting the fact that this is a nonpartisan drive,” said sophomore Chasity Roberts, BSA chair of public affairs. “By not promoting a particular candidate, we are basically trying to attract every type of student.”

The voting drive’s leaders hope the initiative will help quell voter apathy among students.

Students first arriving on campus have a variety of decisions to make, including how they choose to integrate religion into their lives. Pulled in all directions by time constraints, a new social atmosphere or a desire to be different, students all make that choice differently.

“The biggest challenge for most students is time,” said the Rev. Will Willimon, dean of the Chapel. “For a freshman, you walk into Duke and you are con-

fronted with this. You have to make choices, and sometimes religious life loses out.”

While attempting to make the transition easier, some religious groups can actually complicate things for students. Students often receive invitations from religious countless campus groups, each ofwhich aggressively

“There are several transitions,” said Fr. Joe Vetter of the Newman

Catholic Student Center. “One of them is that [students] probably got some subtle expectation from a parent when they were at home, and now it takes more personal initiative.”

Muslim students explained they are in a particularly tough situation because so few of their peers participate in their traditions, which rely on support from others.

In particular, practices such as fasting and praying five times each day may require peer support that is not necessarily available to freshmen immediately.

“To be a Muslim is a very outward thing. Often, when you are away from family, it is a lot harder to do [things like fast] because

not a lot of other people around you are doing it,” said Omar Chaudhary, co-president of the Muslim Student Association. “It’s a bigger struggle here.”

In addition to the absence of parents’ watchful eyes, the college atmosphere does little to foster students’ spiritual development, religious leaders said.

“The environment of many families encourages participation [in religious activities], but the environment of the dorms do not,” Vetter said. “The social pressure is somewhat reversed.”

Students agree that they face a variety of new social pressures when they arrive at Duke. Leksa Chmielewski, a freshman who is active in the Catholic student center, said many of her peers are tempted by liberation from parental watch.

“There are lots of challenges to the morals we’ve always held. As

soon as we get to college, with the new freedom we have, it’s really easy to compromise,” she said.

Religious leaders are hardpressed to develop unique approaches to religious life for students of all backgrounds. Vetter

Students adjust to Napster alternatives for media

By ROBERT MORRIS The Chronicle

The Napster website is a little stripped down these days—instead of MP3 music files, the once-dominant file-swapping service now only offers novelty tee-shirts.

Almost six months after Napster ended its operation, however, file-sharing continues on campus, as music enthusiasts have ridden out the rise and sometimes fall of several other sendees, including Morpheus, AudioGalaxy, and more recently, KaZaA—the new sendee of choice for Duke students.

“It’s nice to be able to [also] download movies and TV shows, which I don’t think Napster could do,” said Margi Brooks, a senior who uses KaZaA, “but Napster seemed faster.”

Brooks is not the only student who misses Napster.

“I like KaZaA pretty well, but I get annoyed with the pop-up ads,” said Steve Poliner, a sophomore.

Students are using music download sendees in a number of ways. Some, like Poliner, create extensive music libraries with the files they download. His collection boasts an impressive 2,500 songs and thirty movies.

In some cases these collections are replacing the traditional home CD library.

“The only thing that makes me buy CDs is I have an elaborate sound system in my car,” said freshman Bryce Walker.

Not all students have bought into the downloading craze, however, and some have burned out on it altogether. “I get frustrated with [the newer music services],” said Daidree Tofano, a freshman. “Napster was much easier.”

Vinny Eng, a senior and former Napster user, explained that he has avoided the newer services even though he is familiar with them. “It’s too easy to get caught at your computer for an hour,” he said.

Other students have found ethical reasons to stay away from Napster and its clones.

“I really do feel like it’s stealing,” said Jamalyn Peigh, a student in the Divinity School. “It would be different if it was okay with the musicians.”

Emily Wren, a freshman, claims a more legitimate use

for KaZaA. “I preview a CD, and ifI like it 111 support the artist,” she said. “I try to find underground stuff.”

Napster’s online service disappeared in the midst of a series of ongoing legal battles with recording companies regarding its members’ use of copyrighted material. In late 1999, record companies began filing lawsuits against the service. In Sept. 2000, attorneys for recording artists Dr. Dre and Metallica asked university presidents, including President Nan Keohane, to ban access to the service from college campuses.

Keohane refused, citing legitimate uses for Napster.

Napster then attempted to convert to a fee system, but its beta version was put on hold indefinitely this spring.

Others services emerged, but some have already succumbed to pressure from the music industry—including the popular Audio Galaxy service this summer. But students are hardly sympathetic to the arguments of the music industry.

“That’s just capitalist society. They’re just going to make as much money as they can,” Peigh said.

Alex Perez, a graduate student in the English department, took a different approach. “It’s a misconception that musicians make money off their music,” he said.

“They make more money off promotional industries.”

For other students, the legal question is simply unimportant. “It doesn’t bother me that much,” said Poliner.

“It’s better just to ignore the issue.”

Until many of the pending cases are resolved, the future of free music is still in the air. Faced with the prospect of one day paying for the music they download, students are largely unworried. Most students said they probably would be willing to subscribe to a new service if that was the only option, but felt that free music will always be available to them.

But nostalgia remains for the original online music service. “I have very fond memories of Napster,” Brooks said. “It was my first.”

Supreme Court set to open term � With key justices nearing retirement, a score of high-profile cases are due to make their way before the Supreme Court bench.

By ANNE GEARAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON

The freedom to burn a cross, the post-prison privacy rights of sex predators and copyright protection for lingerie will occupy the Supreme Court as the justices step from behind red velvet drapes and into their courtroom next week.

The term’s biggest news, however, may come from cases still making their way to the high court.

“There are some elephants here, but the elephants are standing in the wings,” said court scholar David Garrow, a law professor at Emory University.

The court soon may face its first case testing the government’s power to limit traditional civil liberties and legal rights in the name of combating terrorism. Fights also loom over affirmative action on college campuses and the new campaign finance law.

The court term that begins Monday may also be remembered as the final one for Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who has passed his 30th anniversary on the court, or for one of the other justices thought to be close to retirement.

None of the nine justices has indicated immediate plans to leave.

The court is taking a look at whether states went too far in passing child-protection laws commonly known as Megan’s laws and whether California’s “three-strikes-you’re-out” sentencing law is unconstitutionally harsh.

“This is about locking people up for the rest of their lives for taking $l5O worth of children’s videos,” American Civil Liberties senior lawyer Steven Shapiro said about the California law, the nation’s toughest. The law allows up to a life prison term for a third felony, even for a nonviolent crime.

The cross-burning case evokes a mostly bygone era in the South, when nightriders set crosses ablaze as a symbol ofintimidation to blacks and civil rights sympathizers. Virginia and other states tried to outlaw the practice, but the laws have run into trouble on free-speech grounds.

Two cases ask whether some registries of convicted sex offenders, some posted on the Internet, are unfair to criminals who already have served sentences or who may have committed crimes such as

exposing oneself in public.

Every state has some form of Megan’s law, named for a New Jersey child killed by a sex criminal who moved into a home across the street. The laws are supposed to make it easier for neighbors and parents to keep tabs on potential sexual predators, but civil liberties defenders complain the laws can make targets of people who have paid their debts to society.

An abortion case pits abortion clinics against protesters who blocked doors and threatened or intimidated patients.

Sometime this term, the justices almost surely will be asked to look at one or more cases arising from the treatment of immigrants and potential terror suspects swept up as a result of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The court may choose not to get involved right away, but if it does, most lawyers predict a law-and-

order majority would allow the government great leeway to order secret deportation hearings or hold noncitizens indefinitely. It is less clear whether the court would approve of the treatment of at least two U.S. citizens now held without charges and without access to lawyers.

On affirmative action, white students denied admission to the University of Michigan and its law school have petitioned the high court to declare the university’s race-conscious admissions policy unconstitutional.

It is unclear whether the justices want to revisit a deeply divisive issue about which several of them hold strong opinions, said the former Clinton administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer and Duke Pro-

fessor of Law Walter Dellinger.

game, the men’s soccer little to

Ranked 17th in the nation, playing on their home field, and facing an unranked opponent, the Devils seemed to have an easy path to victory. The Lehigh Mountain Hawks, however, had different ideas.

On the strength of a dramatic 84th minute goal, Lehigh staged a huge

upset, defeating the Blue Devils 2-1 Sunday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium.

With the game knotted at one and time winding down, two Duke defenders were unable to clear a slow roller across the box. Lehigh junior Steve Fisher, playing opportunistically, stepped up and blasted the ball past goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge to seal the victory for the Hawks.

“They took advantage of our defensive miscues today,” said head coach John Rennie. “They played a typical underdog game, mostly defending and taking their chances on the counterattack. You have to give them credit for capitalizing when they had to. They

did exactly what they came to do.”

Despite controlling the pace of play, Duke found themselves in a hole early on. In what was to become a theme for the day, the Duke defense had a breakdown in the first 11 minutes, allowing Lehigh senior Evan Bruno a breakaway on the left side. Bruno executed a perfect cross, and fellow senior Dan Perciballi sent it home to give Lehigh the early lead.

Duke attacked relentlessly the rest of the half, and the ball rarely crossed into the Duke defensive end. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, they were unable to get past Mountain Hawk goalkeeper Ryan Grzeszczak, who played solidly all game.

Despite allowing only two shots on goal, the Devils went in to the half down 1-0.

The second halffeatured more of the same with Duke pressuring and Lehigh keeping at least eight men behind the ball at all times. At one point, senior standout Trevor Perea took five corner kicks in an eight-minute span, but the Blue Devils were unable to capitalize.

“We were playing for the win in overtime,” head coach Liz Tchou said. “We weren’t going to hold back.”

Despite the Blue Devils’ best efforts, however,

they couldn’t avoid falling to the nation’s seventh best team, as the Tar Heels’ Meredith Keller finished off a fastbreak to end a game that had started 97 minutes earlier.

North Carolina drew first blood, as freshman forward Karen Mann deposited a Kelsey Keeran pass past a diving Perrier fifteen minutes into the game.

Duke was quick to respond. After Tar Heel goalie Amy Tran drew a foul for sitting on the ball, Bischof sent the subsequent penalty stroke low, hard and right past Tran to tie the game at one.

Coming back from a deficit was something the Blue Devils were forced to do all day, and Tchou was very happy with the way her side fought from behind.

“I am so proud of my players,” she said. “Fm just really happy that they continued to fight and had the opportunities that they did.”

The Tar Heels were very successful on their penalty corners, converting two of their four attempts. The Duke players and coaches knew coming into the game how lethal North Carolina was in

those situations.

“We watched video this week, and we adjusted our corner defense for their comer attack, but you never know what they are going to do,” Gracie Sorbello said.

The Blue Devils dominated play for the third straight game but could not convert their opportunities in the second half or overtime. Head coach Robbie Church was satisfied with his team’s performance at the onset of the match but noted a pivotal time period when Duke could have taken advantage of Clemson’s defense.

“I thought we started out great,” Church said. “We found a real good rhythm of play early. Right after the first goal I thought there were some key things that happened where we missed our opportunity to get a second goal to

After a commotion in the box, the ball bounced back toward the Blue Devil defense and Bognanno ripped a left-footed volley from 30 yards away.

Maryland The volleyball team outlasted conference rival Maryland 3-2 (32-34, 30-27, 30-22, 25-30, 15-13), in a five-game thriller at Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday night. The Blue Devils (14-5, 22 in the ACC) used improved blocking, digs and a strong offense to overcome the Terrapins (11-7, 0-3), who had four players with double figures in kills.

All five games were characterized by intense, back-and-forth play that saw numerous lead changes and extended volleys. Head coach Jolene Nagel said that she was very pleased with the performance of her Duke team under pressure.

“It was a really good win for our team,” Nagel said. “We had to maintain intensity throughout the entire match, especially because we didn’t come out strong in game one. Of course, we still have some things that we want to work on to make sure that we can be a stronger team. This is a great win for us in a

competitive setting.”

Junior Katie Gilman, who had 27 kills in the victory—her previous career best was 11—sparked Duke’s offense to end the match with an overall hitting percentage of .214, compared to Maryland’s .167 percentage.

However, Gilman said the entire team came ready to play.

“Everyone came out here tonight with intensity,” she said. “We feed off each other. That’s how we’re going to win, when everyone comes out fired up.”

Duke dominated the beginning ofthe first game, going on a 5-0 run midway through that eventually led Maryland to call a timeout with the score at 20-12. The Terrapins scored four straight points immediately after play resumed and fought back to tie the score at 29, before taking the game, 34-32.

The Blue Devils came back and won the next two games on the strength of several key blocks and drilled spikes. However, Maryland countered in the fourth game with good blocking of their See TERRS on page 11

Women’s golf edges OSU in Tar Heel Invitational Freshman Liz Janangelo’s 6-under par wins first ever collegiate tournament for Conn, native

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

CHAPEL HILL

Despite struggling Sunday with a final round score of 300, Duke held off Oklahoma State for a one-stroke victory at the three-day Tar

Heel Invitational. Liz Janangelo posted the team’s lowest individual score, as her six-under-par total earned the freshman her first collegiate title.

It was the second straight competition that Janangelo finished as the low Blue Devil. The runner-up at last weekend’s ACC/SEC Challenge, the freshman placed a greater degree of importance on the team’s success, although she did add that garnering a victory of her own brought her a bit ofredemption.

“It was nice to come through myself and to win,” she said. “Last week I learned a lot. I learned I could make nine birdies [in one round] and I learned I could fall apart on one hole. So this week I just kept plugging along and played steady.”

Janangelo is the third straight Blue Devil to win in-

dividual honors at the annual tournament held on UNC’s Finley Golf Course.

“Yeah, it was a bit of deja vu,” Leigh Anne Hardin said, who placed first as a freshman two years ago.

“Last year Kristina [Engstrom] won, so every year it’s been a Devil since I came here.... We get to play here a lot, so we feel really comfortable. It’s like our home away from home.”

Indeed, the Duke’s team victory marked its sixth consecutive title at the event. The Blue Devils were without Virada Nirapathpongporn, the 2002 NCAA individual champion who is currently representing her native Thailand in the Asian Games.

“She’s obviously a great player, [but] I don’t really spend a lot of time thinking about [not having her],” head coach Dan Brooks said. “I feel that we’ve got a great bunch of players and you just go into each [tournament] with whoever you’ve got.”

Although pleased that his side managed to fend off

the charging Cowgirls, Brooks noted that his team played only “mediocre golf.”

He emphasized that the fall tournaments are mostly opportunities to improve, as winning at all costs matters only at the Collegiate National Championships held each spring.

“The whole thing is to keep your mind on development, getting better,” Brooks said. “If you ever get to hung up on [success], then you won’t have it for very long. The only way to keep it is to keep trying to get

better.... I think I’ve seen the [competition] improve over the years, so we’ve had to keep getting better.”

With Duke having three weeks off from competition before it heads down to Alabama to compete in the Auburn Tiger-Derby Invitational, Brooks hopes to use the rest of October to help his players focus their attention on correcting flaws in their swings.

In particular, Brooks thought that the Blue Devils’ See GOLF on page 11

Cavalier attitude: Duke out

UVA from The Chronicle page 1 -ber was successful on the kick, dwindling Virginia’s lead to 20-16.

Franks said he kicked the field goal because of the confidence he had in his defensive unit. The Duke defense held Virginia to minus-four yards and zero points in the third quarter. The plan seemed to work, with the Blue Devils forcing the Cavaliers to punt after three plays.

Things fell apart for Duke, however, when it regained possession. Smith’s first pass attempt was deflected, and instead of batting the ball down, Smith caught the ball for a 12-yard loss. The Blue Devils went from a first and ten on the Duke 45 to second down-and-22 from their 33. Smith’s next two passes were incomplete, and Duke was forced to punt.

“That’s never happened to me before,” Smith said about his deflected pass. “You’ve got to just bat that down.

That’s a mistake I made and that ended up putting us in a bad situation and killed our drive.”

The Blue Devil defense that had been so reliable all game succumbed to Virginia on its next possession.

On second down-and-15 Virginia had an illegal participation penalty, bringing up third and long, however Wahoo quarterback Matt Schaub completed a 35-yard pass to star wide-receiver Billy McMullen, sneaking the ball between a trio of Duke defenders.

“It was a good throw,” McMullen said. “There were like three defenders there, and I just had to go get it.”

The play was followed by a fleeflicker to Michael McGrew for 54 yards, putting the Cavaliers on the two yard-line.

“Sometimes if you follow one big play with another one, it increases your chances,” said Virginia head coach A1 Groh. “We knew we had to be bold in the second half, and take our shot at them.”

Alvin Pearman ran the ball in on the next play, putting UVa up 27-16.

The Blue Devils continued to fight, going 80 yards in 11 plays, highlighted by Smith’s 15-yard pass to Sharpe with 1:28 left in the game. Duke was unsuccessful in its attempt at a two-point conversion, and decided to kick-off to Virginia, rather than attempt a risky onside kick.

“We had two timeouts left,” Franks said. “There was 2:50 something left on the clock. The odds of us getting the ball back that way are a lot better than getting the ball on an onside kick. We kicked it deep and they were at the 20.

Eventually we got the ball back, just not soon enough.”

The Duke defense forced a punt from the Cavaliers after five plays, but Virginia still managed to take two minutes and eighteen seconds off the clock.

When Duke finally regained possession of the ball, there was only 29 seconds left in the game. With no time-outs left, the Blue Devils ran out of time when Almondo Curry intercepted Chris Dapolito’s pass at the end ofregulation.

It was Duke only interception in a 26-

for-44, 256-yard performance, turned in mainly by Smith—his first game with

more than 200 yards passing.

Smith was not the only bright spot in Duke’s close loss, with junior Chris Douglas having a breakout performance, running for 125 yards and receiving for 89.

Fullback Alex Wade, who had taken

over Douglas’ roles as featured back since the junior was hampered by in-

juries, was forced to leave the game with ailments of his own. Wade, who was averaging nearly 100 yards a game was held to 53 yards on the day.

“I definitely feel a lot better,” Douglas said. “Unfortunately sometimes it just takes a while to get over certain injuries, especially with a guy like me.”

The defensive line also had its most impressive game of the season, netting two sacks and holding the Cavs to only two yards on the ground.

“It hurts a lot worse than it did last year, or the year before, because we’re a lot better,” Franks said. ‘When you expect to win and you know you’re good enough to win, it hurts a lot more.”

ays Virginia but falls 27-22 � The Blue Devils were unable to seal the deal because of numerous mental errors in their game, despite beat-

ing Virginia statistically.

alii

If football games could be won based on stats alone, then Duke would be sitting at 3-3 heading into next weekend’s contest against Wake Forest with a chance to climb above the .500 mark for the first time in recent memory this late into the season.

After all, a much improved Duke team outplayed Virginia in nearly every key category, earning more first downs (24 to 17), monopolizing the running game (158 yards to two yards), amassing more total yards (414 to 317), having a better thirddown conversion ratio (7-of-19 to 2-of-13) and dominating time of possession (35:59 to 24:01).

However, rather than giving the homecoming crowd of over 17,000 a victory that would have seemed improbable, if not impossible, just one year ago, the Blue Devils sealed their fate with numerous mental mistakes that left fans groaning and the team thinking about what could have been.

Example No. 1: Duke leads Virginia 13-6 in the first half after driving 80 yards on 11 plays for a touchdown with under two minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Blue Devils appear to have the Cavaliers in a third-and-11 situation at their own 34-yard line, but defensive end Micah Harris, who had played a very strong first half, is called for a personal foul and Virginia has an automatic first down on the Catherine Sullivan 50-yard line.

Later on that same drive it>s third-andGame Commentary six with one minute left before halftime.

Virginia quarterback Matt Schaub throws an incomplete pass at the Duke 35-yard line. Instead of a fourth-and-long situation, Duke is again called for a penalty, this time pass interference.

Automatic first down. Three plays later, touchdown.

They could have gone into the locker room with a 13-6 lead, but the Blue Devils shot themselves in the foot twice and let the Cavaliers steal the momentum.

“The defense played really well early,” Duke head coach Carl Franks said. “There were some key penalties that allowed Virginia to score on that last drive. We felt like if we could quit making some little individual mistakes we’d be in pretty good shape.”

Unfortunately for Franks and his players, Duke’s mental lapses were far from over.

Example No. 2: The Cavaliers hold a 20-16 lead with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Duke has good field position on its own 45-yard line after a key defensive stop. Quarterback Adam Smith has a pass tipped in the air by nose tackle Justin Walker. Rather than bat the pass down, which would have given Duke secohd-and-10, Smith catches the ball for a loss of 12 yards, setting up second-and-22 and effectively killing the drive that could have put Duke ahead.

To his credit, Smith played arguably the best game of his college career, throwing for 256 yards to keep pace with Virginia’s Schaub, who came into the game ranked third in the nation in' passing efficiency. In the end, though, the junior Schaub made fewer key errors than his sophomore counterpart.

“I made some mistakes that ended up hurting us,” Smith said. “You’ve got to just bat that ball down. That’s a mistake I made and that ended up putting us in a bad situation.”

Smith’s blunder did indeed hurt the Blue Devils, who were forced to punt after a three-and-out series, and their mistakes continued on Virginia’s next possession.

Example No. 3: Virginia has the ball with just over five minutes remaining in the game at its own 44-yard line. Schaub hands the snap off to running back Alvin Pearman in what appears to be a basic sweep to the right. After a few strides, Pearman tosses a lateral to Schaub, who then hits a wide-open Michael McGrew for a gain of 54 to the Duke 2-yard line.

At a time when the Blue Devils desperately needed a defensive stand, they fell victim to the so-called flea-flicker play.

“We were playing man coverage and the guy who was supposed to be covering slowed down,” Franks said. “He figured it was a run and didn’t stay in coverage like he was supposed to.

Hopefully the young guys will learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, their learning experience results in the other team getting opportunities.”

The Blue Devils deserve credit for proving willing and able to fight back after such disheartening errors, something which teams in recent years could not seem to do. They managed to keep the game close by responding with a scoring drive of their own, but, when they need to stop Virginia on its final series, they were again hampered by a key penalty that allowed the Cavaliers to wind down the clock.

Duke proved itself capable of competing with respectable teams like Virginia, but, if the Blue Devils want to start winning some ofthese close contests, they will have to avoid the type of mental miscues that doomed them Saturday.

N A T I INTER DELIGHTS

BY ABBY GOLD The Chronicle

Glancing at the women’s golf team’s roster, one is automatically struck by the absence of Americans. In what has become a melting pot of cultures characteristic of most large cities, the Blue Devils have become a unique entity both at Duke and in the world of college golf.

“Last year we had five foreigners and one Indianan on the team,” said head coach Dan Brooks. “Now we’ve got two Americans. I brought the American someone to hangout with With four countries represented among the team’s six players, the Blue Devils are by far Duke’s most geographically diverse athletic team. Duke differs from its competition in that the majority of its players are from overseas.

The eccentric mix of Western European, East Asian and American cultures has created a distinct quality that when fused together has been strong enough to spark two NCAA titles—including one in 2002—and numerous No. 1 rankings.

In a sport that has seen a recent influx of foreign collegiate players, the Blue Devils seem to have jumped head-first into the international pool.

The Blue Devils have just two Americans on this year’s team, one up from last year’s national championship squad.

“When we had five foreigners and one American it was probably more [diverse] than most [teams], but it’s very common to have at least half of the team be foreign.

There are a lot of teams that have a good number of foreigners on their traveling team,” Brooks said.

Since many foreign universities do not foster the same kind of alliance between academics and athletics that is so commonly found at American schools, many foreign players opt to come to the United States to pursue both their studies and athletic interests.

“In Sweden you can’t combine golf and school. So you have a lot of Swedish players over here to play college golf,” said Djursholm, Sweden nativeKristina Engstrom.

Duke maintains a strong appeal to junior golfers, American and foreign alike. Engstrom and fellow foriegn teammates Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh and Maria Garcia-Estrada all agree that for international players seeking the right balance of academics and top-rate golf, Duke possesses this ideal combination. ”

“What better place to come to than Duke, where you have one of the top teams and a great education?” GarciaEstrada said. “There are hardly any schools that have such a good golf program and good education.”

With many questioning the di pearance of American golfers, B maintains that his team’s international flavor is not the result ofactive, overseas recruitment but rather a byproduct of word of mouth.

“It wasn’t really by design,” Brooks said “I didn’t set out to recruit foreign players. We had a few foreigners that came before this most recent era. I have always paid attention to the people on my team as far as who I am going to recruit.”

Many of Brooks’ current-and former recruits have come from recommendations from his players.

It is these recommendations that are largely responsible for shaping the foreign nature of the Duke team.

“The neat thing about golf is that people get to know one another,” Brooks said. “In junior golf they’re actually walking with each other on the fairways so you have this great opportunity to have character bring in character if you just listen to them and listen to who they have walked the fairways with and who they have enjoyed being with. So low and behold you have a lot of foreigners on the team before you know it.”

The small, especially diverse women’s team has a unique character that is the direct result of the fusion of the various languages and cultures of its players.

The Blue Devils agree that their diverse backgrounds have created a special environment that brings more to the table than just golf.

“I have the opportunity to learn about so many different cultures,” said freshman and American Liz Janangelo. “You can truly understand what [foreign playersl have to go through in order to achieve what comes so easily to Americans.”

TRIBE from page 3 “Now we have a better idea of what they like to do,” freshman Lindsay Shaw added. “But we will have a better feel for what UNC will do the second time around. We know we can win.”

In the second half, it was Duke who scored first, as junior back Kim Gogola knocked home a Duke corner ten minutes into the half.

The Tar Heels pulled ahead yet again on a penalty stroke for their third one goal lead of the game.

Facing their third one goal deficit of the game, Duke roared back. Shaw scored two minutes after entering the game, and then Tsougas gave Duke its first lead ofthe day.

In the first seven-a-side, fifteen minute overtime, neither team could manage a serious offense surge.

But in the second period, the Tar Heels caught the Blue Devils forward, sending a long pass forward to Kerry Falgowski, who found herself one-onone with a Duke defender. Falgowski sent a pass around an incoming Perrier and Keller finished the play off.

Despite outshooting the Tigers and also creating far more goal opportunities, the Blue Devils lost their fourth consecutive one-goal game. Church and his squad have been practicing goalscoring plays, but they can not seem to get over the top in a game situation.

Freddy Jones scored on a 15-yard run to tie the game, and Carolina couldn’t move the ball, giving the Cardinals a chance for the game-winner.

Chiefs 29, Jets 25

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Chiefs running back Priest Holmes ran for 152 yards and a touchdown, and his 19-yard

touchdown reception from Trent Green with 27 seconds left handed the Jets their fourth straight loss.

Holmes caught nine passes for 81 yards, and Green followed his fivetouchdown performance last week with 296 yards and two TDs to lead the Chiefs (3-2).

John Hall kicked a 25-yard field goal with 2:54 remaining to give the Jets (14) a 3-point lead, but Kansas City marched 78 yards for the winning score.

Chad Pennington, making his first career start after Vinny Testaverde was benched, was 23-of-30 for 245 yards, and Curtis Martin had 119 yards.

Colts 28, Bengals 21

INDIANAPOLIS Peyton Manning threw for two touchdowns and ran for smother, while Marvin Harrison caught nine passes for 145 yards and a touchdown as Indianapolis held off the winless Bengals.

Indy (3-1) finally got its offense in sync. Edgerrin James scored his first TD in more than a year, and the defense also produced four turnovers.

The Bengals (0-5) were just glad to hang around after getting outscored 119-23 in their first four games. Jon Kitna, Cincinnati’s third starting quarterback in three weeks, threw for 244 yards and Corey Dillon ran for 164 yards and two TDs.

lONDAY, OCTOBER

TERRS from page 4 own, and the match went to a deciding fifth, where Duke finally put away the stubborn Terrapins.

The win, combined with the Blue Devils’ earlier defeat of Virginia Thursday, helped inspire a new sense of confidence in a team that went 0-2 in its first two conference games.

“We knew, starting out with the two losses to begin ACC play, that this weekend was going to be huge for us,” said senior outside hitter Jill Sonne, whose eight kills against Maryland left her one shy of 1,000 kills in her career at Duke. “We had to come out and play as hard as we could and get our confidence back...so that we can go into North Carolina and N.C. State with some positive energy.”

The game against the Tar Heels Thursday will be the next major hurdle on the conference schedule, and the players recognize what needs to be done to prepare.

“I think, even though we did have some big blocks, we need to work on our timing for our blocks a little bit and just keep working on our defense, because that will never be good enough,” Sonne said.

TRUSTEES from page 1 lion-per-week pace, which, if maintained, would put the Campaign over its goal in about three months. He told the Trustees to expect several large gifts in the near future and that, assuming the Campaign hits its individual targets, it would finish with around $2,244 billion raised.

In the rest of the weekend’s quarterly meeting, the Board took few official actions.

Trustees heard presentations on several ongoing University initiatives—including international growth and comrelamunity

tions—but

only Peter Nicholas

officially approved additions to the Bryan Center and the Vivarium.

The $2 million Bryan Center addition, announced last year, will provide 5,400 square feet of rehearsal, classroom and shop space for the Department of Theater Studies and the Bryan

Center’s three theaters.

The $l.B million Vivarium addition and renovation will net 4,000 square feet to advance neurobiology research, specifically a project to develop neuroprosthetic limbs and other devices to augment human performance. The space will be used for research labs and offices.

In her address to the Trustees during Friday’s regular session, President Nan Keohane discussed a recent ranking by The Journal ofBlacks in Higher Education, which called Duke the most integrated of America’s top universities. She echoed other administrators in saying

BRAZIL from page 2 focus more on economic issues, widely seen as da Silva’s principal weakness.

Lacking in personal charisma, Serra has failed to capture the hearts of many of Brazil’s 115 million voters.

Analysts said that after months of writhing over the uncertainty of Sunday’s outcome, most of the markets’ worst fears had already been discounted in prices.

“I think the panic will calm down as the uncertainty recedes,” said Walter Molano, chief Latin American economist at Greenwich-based BCP Securities. ‘‘You might even get a rally Monday.”

In recent weeks, Molano has been one of the most vocal advocates of dumping Brazilian paper, predicting that the country was on a dubious slippery slope, heading toward defaulting on its debt.

Allan Conway, head of global emerging markets at WestAm, an asset management company in London, said that, “Brazil has been ridiculously oversold and should nevere have gotten down to these levels.” He confidentley predicted that its benchmark C-bond could recover to levels of around 60 cents or 70 cents, even if da Silva managed to clinched a firstround win.

Should da Silva triumph, though, he will have to move swiftly to name an economic team capable of winning over the markets and of persuading banks to keep open vital credit lines to Brazil and its exporters.

Those credit lines have been drying up just as Brazil needs all the hard currency it can get to bolster its limited accounts.

The names of top-level managers

that, although the ranking is encouraging, Duke should not become complacent.

Keohane also called on Board members to recommit to a discussion of academic integrity—a theme highlighted this weekend during Founders’ Day and in a film shown to freshmen.

In addition, she announced that Rotary International has chosen Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill together as one of two U.S. centers for the study of peace and diplomacy. Collaboration between the schools led them to stand out among 100 institutions applying, Keohane said. “I’m truly convinced that the growth and innovation of our interdisciplinary programs are gaining strength from other institutions in the Triangle,” Keohane said.

Also at Friday’s regular session, Nancy Allen, Academic Council chair and professor of rheumatology and immunology, updated the Trustees on the faculty’s priorities, including rising medical benefit costs and faculty diversity, Rob Saunders, Graduate and Professional Student Council president, used his address to identify five specific needs among his constituents: parking and transportation, childcare, health insurance, housing and social space.

Backed, he said, by 1,000 people who signed a parking petition earlier this semester, Saunders urged Trustees to push for a parking master plan.

In his speech, Duke Student Government President Joshua Jean-Baptiste focused on the balance between creating an intellectual community and maintaining a fun on-campus social life.

“Duke’s social environment is one of the unique advantages it has over its peer institutions,” he said. “We should work hard to make sure that this environment is maintained in a safe, healthy and friendly way.”

such as Henri-Philippe Reichstuhl, former chief of the state oil giant Petroleo Brasileiro SA, and Henrique Meirelles, former chief of global banking at Fleet Boston Corp., are making the rounds in Wall Street as possible candidates for da Silva’s team.

But hardened party stalwarts such as Aloisio Mercadante and Guido Mantega, experienced economic aides who have dragged da Silva’s Workers’ Party toward the center in recent years, are also in the running.

Despite that very public shift, da Silva worried many analysts by his recent rejection of extending the term of Armio Fraga as central bank president and veiled threats of heavy-handed intervention in state companies.

“The old-style Workers’ Party is coming out of the woodwork,” said John Welch, chief Latin American economist at WestLß in New York.

He predicted that da Silva would certainly be “horribly emboldened” by a first-round win and that he could attempt to raise the national minimum wage or loosen the grip on inflation, measures that could further destabilize Brazil’s already precarious finances.

But even supporters of Serra pre-

dicted that da Silva would not adopt overly radical policies, partly because his party is unlikely to win enough votes for a majority in Congress and will be forced to rely on political dealmaking with pro-market parties.

“There’s absolutely no feeling of panic—everything’s normal,” said Marcelo Lima, partner in Sao Paulo advertising agency EugenioWG and a former investment banker, who was voting in the city today. “Just four years ago, with Lula so far ahead, things would have been different.”

ATTRITION from page 1 busy people [faculty] and taking up a piece of someone’s life [students who do not get their doctorate] that is not very productive for them.”

There is also an opportunity cost, particularly for small departments, who only have a handful of spots to fill each year.

“When students leave without a degree, we worry we could have brought in someone who would have gotten through instead,” said Marcy Speer, director of graduate studies in the University Program in Genetics, whose 13 percent attrition rate is the lowest of the biological sciences.

Although most agree that some students will drop out regardless, the University wants to make sure it is choosing applicants who are a good match for the school and who are likely to continue in the program to the end. It also wants to

encourage social interactions between students, mentoring from faculty and career advising, Siegel said.

‘The big worry is that there may be tools out there to help students get through that we may not be giving them,”

Graduate and Professional

Student

Council President Rob Saunders said.

Chair of the graduate faculty’s executive committee Monty Reichert, however, said attrition may be an over-deter-

mined problem.

“We’re trying to figure out if this is the normal stress and strain ofgraduate education.... There’s a certain inefficiency built into every system,” said Reichert, who is also the director of graduate studies for biomedical engineering, which at 21 percent has the lowest attrition rate among engineering departments. “The question is, is there anything you can do about it?” he added.

Some students who enter as doctoral

STRIKE from page 2 He said the PMA would keep pushing for an extension of the old contract, which specifically forbid the kind of work slowdowns the PMA said prompted the shutdown Sept. 29. The union has refused, holding out for a new three-year contract that would give it control over any jobs that come with new technology.

Implementing labor-saving technology like electronic tracking devices puts only a small number of jobs at risk in the short term, but future jobs are at stake, as well as control of the flow of information at the ports.

The PMA has always given the ILWU jurisdiction over new technology in the past, union negotiator Joseph Wenzl said Sunday. “The union feels we have offered a proposal that meets the employer in the middle,” he said.

Both sides have agreed to resume shipping essential items to Alaska and Hawaii. They have also moved some cargo for the U.S. military.

The number of cargo vessels stranded at the docks or backing up at anchor points has risen to about 200 since the lockout, with dozens more still en route from Asia.

According to American Farm Bureau Federation figures, between 20 percent and 30 percent of all U.S. agriculture products are exported, and a third of that goes to the Pacific rim—mostly through the West Coast ports.

A growing number of industry groups are calling

for White House intervention, including use of the Taft-Hartley Act, which would force an 80-day cooling off period. President George W. Bush has not said whether he would intervene.

Wenzl says the PMA’s strategy is to encourage White House involvement to pressure the union, which has made the negotiations more difficult.

“That’s not collective bargaining,” he said.

Tom Edwards, a member of the PMA’s negotiating committee, called that “disingenuous,” noting that employers have offered wage increases atop six-figuresalaries and fully paid benefits.

candidates do not drop out entirely but instead get a master’s degree, which typically takes less time to achieve than a doctorate. Because those students count in the attrition statistics, the drop-out rates are higher than many department heads might think, Reichert said.

“We have to carry the debate into the departments,” he said. “I think most have no idea this is happening at this level.”

The completion rate for disciplines as a whole is highest for the biological sciences and lowest for engineering. Within these broader areas, independent departments range from 40 to 90 percent completion rates.

Reiko Mazuka, director of graduate studies in the Department of Psychology: Social and Health Sciences, hypothesized that more scientific fields may have better retention rates due to their “building block nature, so you can see the fruit of

your labor each day” as opposed to more

theoretical humanities. Mazuka’s department has the lowest attrition rate of the social sciences, at 17 percent.

Because some departments are so small—with only a few students per entering class—Siegel said the executive committee will focus on the departments that are large enough that the rates are statistically significant.

Because doctorates generally take between five and 10 years to obtain, the committee will examine attrition rates of the Graduate School’s incoming doctorate-track classes from 1991 to 1995, although the Graduate School has instituted many changes since then, including smaller class sizes and increased financial support. Over 90 percent of those incoming classes have left the program by now, either after getting a doctorate, master’s degree or dropping out entirely.

“We have never sought federal intervention because we have to work with our employees,” he said.

For Steve Dunn, founder and president of Munchkin Inc., an importer ofinfant goods, an end to the port shutdown cannot come soon enough. He has already sent home close to a fourth ofhis employees,

and has said that he expects he will be forced to close down his business in two weeks time if the ports are not reopened.

The Van Nuys, Calif.-based company imports 95 percent ofits goods from China, including such items as infant utensils, spill-proof cups and rubber ducks.

One-third of its inventory is stranded on the Pacific.

Munchkin has made plans to use air freight this week to avoid short-shipping key customers, but the cost will be far too high to continue shipping via air

for more than a few days, Dunn said.

Like many observers, he expects President Bush to refrain from ordering an end to the lockout until the crisis worsens. “If there’s more of a crisis, then he’s more of a savior,” Dunn said.

SHOOTINGS from page 6

RELIGIOUS LlFE.ro.pages

Willimon said some students embrace negative religious stereotypes to be different.

“There is a kind ofcounter-culture resistance for some

night just across the county line in Washington and the Virginia woman was wounded the next afternoon as police investigators conceded that the manhunt would have to cover a far larger part of the Washington

explained that the Catholic center makes services readily accessible by having Mass on East and West Campuses twice each Sunday.

“Having mass at nine at night is an unusual time for church, but not an unusual time on campus,” he said.

In addition to religious services, groups offer a variety of programming to make the transition easier for

students,” he said.

“They think, T want to look at the world differently than we do in 95 percent of my classes.’ They don’t mind doing something different because there’s a kind of edge to it.”

However, campus religious leaders said they see no patterns of participation during students’ four years at college. Some students dive head first into religious life when they arrive. “Others roam away, and around junior year they have a ‘coming home’ experience,” Willimon said.

And so, somewhere between Alpha Omega small group sessions, Lunch and Learns, Friday night Shabbat dinners, Friday evening prayers, bagel brunches and trips to the beach, a religious community can flourish despite students’ over-committed schedules. And for many, that is exactly what makes religious life on campus exciting and special.

“We work where people are extremely busy,” Willimon said. “I kind of like that because it means when people are there, they are really there.”

commuter area.

Moose again played down the arrest on an unrelated auto theft charge of Robert Baker, a 33-year-old Montgomery resident who was the subject of phone tips about his possible involvement with guns or a militia movement. He is not a suspect, the chief repeated, even as more tips about possibly suspect gun fanciers poured into the police hot line.

On this clear, sunny day, residents moved gingerly about town in a mood summed up by Doug Duncan, the Montgomery County executive. “Every day you wake up and there hasn’t been another reported shooting is a good day,” Duncan said.

Puzzlement vied with grief at the funeral Sunday morning of Premkumar Walekar, a 54year-old cabdriver who was shot Thursday as he fueled his taxi here at the Mobil station,

across from a parking lot.

“I don’t know what the killer gained,” said Lazarus Borge, a relative at Walekar’s funeral in Takoma Park, Md. “I don’t know how he profited by killing an innocent, God-fearing person who has a loving family at home.”

The police theorize that the sniper used a long-range hunting or military assault rifle to fire from safe cover and sped away from the crime scenes without being seen or leaving evidence. His victims were shot just once, with six dying almost instantly and the seventh, a woman shopper in Fairfax, Va., severely wounded in the back.

“Smoking-gun type leads maybe aren’t there,” Moose said at a news conference, but detectives have more than 800 tips to pursue and are asking for more. He warned against simplistic labels that could cause tunnel vision in the search, saying that the terms

“terrorist,” “thrill killer” and “serial killer” did not seem to fit the sniper’s pattern.

Wary residents tended to agree. “This guy is much more meticulous than the typical spree killer,” Boink maintained, sounding as authoritative as anyone else in the target zone ofthe killer and now of the geo-profiler.

students.

“One of the key things we do is give them a broad spectrum of entry,” said Jonathan Gerstl, the new director of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life. “We do social programs, religious programs and educational programs. We really just try to find comfort zone levels for people.”

Groups make a conscious attempt to reach students without interfering with other aspects of their college experience.

For example, freshmen can use their Marketplace meal plan to have dinner at the Freeman Center, allowing them to be active in Jewish life without prohibiting participation in other standard freshman activities.

VOTING from page 3 set a precedent for other people our age by voicing their opinion with a vote,” said sophomore Elizabeth Dixon, DSG director of student services.

Lack of political initiative has increased among the college-aged demographic group, according to American Demographics Magazine. In the last presidential election, only 32 percent of all eligible 18-to-24 year-old voters cast ballots.

“It is important that students become more visibly involved in politics because that is the way to get politicians to consider our preferences on policy issues,” said senior Tyler Will.

This year’s election will take place Nov. 5, and the last day to submit registration to the Board ofElections is Oct. 11. Registration takes less than five minutes, and a student needs his dorm address, mailing address, telephone number and driver’s license. After the student completes the form, DSG will submit all forms to the Board ofElections.

A student from out-of-state has the option of voting as a North Carolina resident, or in their home state’s election.

“Students choose to vote in the North Carolina election because they are electing officials who will represent them and their interests for their four years at

Duke,” said DSG President Joshua Jean-Baptiste.

“This helps students get the most out ofthe government and feel connected to the voting system.”

However, many other students, such as freshman Philip Lea, have opted to receive an absentee ballot from their home state.

“I have followed Louisiana politics much longer than those ofNorth Carolina, so I feel I’d be a more informed voter in the Louisiana election,” Lea said.

After registering, student voters also have the option of filling out a Vote For America pledge card. DSG will use these pledges to form a database ofregistered voters.

They will contact these voters about various political issues, polling locations and future speakers.

After only one week of campaigning, the leaders of the drive are satisfied with participation. Some 150 have already registered, and officials hope a total of 500 to 600 will register by the end ofthe campaign.

“I have seen a sense of understanding among students as to why it is important to vote,” said sophomore Mary Ellison Baars, College Republicans representative for Vote For America.

“The drive’s easy registration allows a student to show dedication to the political system,” she added.

The voting drive, which lasts through Thursday, takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Bryan Center walkway, and from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the East Campus Marketplace.

Cheating democracy

Under

a cloud of ethical questions and scandal, embattled Senator Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., withdrew from this year’s Senate race, as polls indicated with little more than a month left before election day that his campaign was in trouble.

Last Wednesday, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that in the wake ofTorricelli’s exit it would acceptable to replace him with another candidate, former senator Frank Lautenberg, who retired in 1996.

The court’s decision is troubling for two reasons. First, although state law sets 51 days before an election as the deadline for making ballot substitutions, the court said it was acting in the best interests of voters in this case by allowing the substitution. However, in essentially overturning the results of a democratic primary election, the court risks making a mockery ofvoters’ interests. And second, unless the U.S. Supreme Court steps in and reverses the decision, it will set a dangerous precedent for the future.

American democracy is based on the sanctity of elections. If a nominee duly elected by voters in a primary can resign and a new nominee can be dictated by party leadership, it necessarily undermines democracy and the concept ofvoters’ choice. For example, if a presidential nominee were trailing in the polls after Labor Day, it would be unfair for the nominee to withdraw from the race and allow the nominating party the power to choose the nominee’s replacement.

The court decided that setting this precedent and overturning a primary election was less troubling than allowing a candidate to run unopposed. Yet whether Torricelli’s name remains on the ballot—as it probably should, since absentee ballots have already been mailed— Democrats have the time and ability to stage a write-in campaign for Lautenberg. Last summer, Washington, D.C., Mayor Anthony Williams successfully waged a write-in campaign after his name was removed from the ballot because his campaign staff included fraudulent names on petitions to qualify him for the election.

A write-in campaign for Lautenberg still gives voters a choice between two major party candidates while maintaining a disincentive in order to prevent future candidates from pulling the same tpye of switch that the Democrats are trying to pull in New Jersey.

When a major party nominee withdraws from the race after the deadline, there must be a disincentive so that voters and not national politicians dictate the Senate’s members, as required by the 16th amendment to the Constitution.

The U.S. Supreme Court should reverse the state ruling and Lautenberg should wage a credible campaign as a write-in candidate prior to the November general election.

On the

record

“The environment of many families encourages participation [in religious activities], but the environment of the dorms do not. The social pressure is somewhat reversed.”

Father Joe Vetter of the Newman Catholic Student Center on the difficulties of religious participation at Duke (see story, page three).

Common goal, alternate methods Demonstrations like the one some students have held to protest Duke’s decision to lift its boycott of the Mt. Olive Pickle Company shine the spotlight on issues that separate us. I think it’s important for all of us in the Duke community to recognize that our disagreements are about tactics rather than goals.

John Bumess

Guest Commentary

and affirm that they have no unresolved compliance issues that were cited in a past investigation. In addition, suppliers and their growers must notify Mt. Olive Pickle immediately if a federal or state agency initiates an investigation of their farm employment practices and immediately report any subsequent findings of non-compliance of farm employment rules and regulations.

This information will provide Mt. Olive Pickle with the opportunity to react to any violations, to assess its dependence on the product, to assist the grower in resolving the deficiency and/or to terminate the contract.

As a means of verification, Duke will periodically review the statements of compliance submitted by crop suppliers and growers and visit farms that supply cucumbers to Mt. Olive Pickle.

Duke and Mt. Olive Pickle have also agreed to explore potential partnerships with government regulators and regional and national food suppliers who might help us implement strategies to improve conditions for North Carolina’s farm workers.

Since August, there have been a number of positive steps. These included a meeting that President Keohane held with the president of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee and conversations with state officials in Raleigh and Mt, Olive Pickle to identify ways of working together to improve the regulatory process, such as by heightening public awareness and improving education regarding farm worker conditions.

In other words, the agreement wqs only a first step. If we see evidence that Mt. Olive Pickle is not living up to its commitment, President Keohane would be prepared to reinstate Duke’s boycott. But we believe this approach has real potential to make a tangible improvement in the fives of the people we’re seeking to help.

Our decision to take this approach was based not only on our activities of the past several months, but also on our experience working toward this general goal for many years in related arenas. Recall that Duke was the first university in the nation to require independent monitoring of the working conditions in factories around the world that produce products with the Duke name or logo. Duke was also a founding member of the Fair Labor Association because we believed the FLA had the potential to bring together workers rights advocates, business leaders and government officials in new ways to improve sweatshop working conditions.

Our position then was controversial, with many students and advocates of workers’ rights saying it was a mistake for Duke to join the FLA. We believe subsequent events have shown that joining the FLA was the right thing to do, as was our subsequent joining ofthe Worker Rights Consortium.

People of good faith, even those who share common goals, can agree to disagree. The Duke administration remains committed to working with Duke Students Against Sweatshops and others to achieve our common goals. We may not always concur about the best route to travel, but we will keep our eyes firmly on the ultimate destination, which is to help make fife better for North Carolina’s farm workers.

President Nan Keohane and the rest of us who have been involved in this process agree strongly with the fundamental goal we share with the protesters and many others in our community: to help improve working conditions for farm workers. Any disagreement that exists concerns how to achieve that goal.

Over the past year, Duke officials have spent hundreds of hours doing research, visiting farms and meeting with Duke Students Against Sweatshops and others to learn about the complex issues that affect not only farm workers, but also growers, processors and others who produce much of the food we eat here in North Carolina. This past summer, Jim Wilkerson, Duke’s director oflicensing, and officials from the state department of labor toured two farms with a record of poor working conditions. Jim, who is a strong advocate for workers’ rights, also met with the staff of Legal Services ofNorth Carolina, an organization that assists farm workers, and spoke at length with experts from the U.S. Department ofLabor.

President Keohane and several administrators also visited a farm and saw firsthand how some farm workers work and five. That visit and all of our discussions only strengthened our understanding and commitment in the administration to press forward in trying to ensure decent working conditions for the state’s farm workers.

These efforts also gave us more perspective on the argument that this goal can be achieved only through collective bargaining of farm workers and leveraging a company like Mt. Olive Pickle to insist that its supplier farms go to the bargaining table. In contrast, we at Duke have said from the beginning that we recognize unionization as one possible answer but not necessarily the only answer. Even as the struggle over unionization continues, we think it makes sense also to try other approaches that might improve the living and working conditions for farm workers.

This past March, when President Keohane wrote to Students Against Sweatshops that we planned to extend Duke’s boycott, she made this point explicitly and identified actions that Mt. Olive Pickle could take that would permit the boycott to be lifted. She also indicated a willingness to work with the company and other interested parties to develop approaches that could make a material difference in improving working conditions for farm workers.

Since then, Mt. Olive Pickle has agreed to each of the conditions identified in that letter. Its crop suppliers and their growers must now sign and submit statements indicating that they comply with all applicable federal and state farm employment rules and regulations. They also must notify Mt. Olive Pickle if they are currently under investigation by regulatory agency regarding nonJohn Burness isDuke's senior vice president for compliance with these rules and regulations public affairs and governmental relations.

Projects on women’s is sues further only the administration’s politics, not the cause of women’s rights I like women, I really do. I have

come to the important conclusion, however, that I can still care about women and hot care at all about “women’s issues.” I think I am not alone in holding this view; indeed, I imagine many women may share it.

When I say women’s

issues, though, I don’t mean things like the 19th amendment and spousal abuse. Those are human issues. All citizens should have the right to vote, and English no person should be beaten. Such issues The Critical Theory ultimately rest on an appeal to an individual’s status as human, not as woman.

Rather what I mean by “women’s issues” is what this University takes to be women’s issues qua woman, namely those issues exemplified in the “Women’s Studies” program and stupid things like our new gender initiative.

These women’s issues generally rest on dubious assumptions regarding the hostility between the sexes, and attempts to codify them as institutional concerns continually push the barriers ofridiculousness.

For the enlightenment of the enviable majority of students on campus that have better things to do than follow the administration’s efforts at ideological self improvement, the “gender initiative” began last spring with Nan’s promise to perform a comprehensive review of gender inequalities at Duke. Nan herself is chairing the predominately female steering committee, which will oversee, direct and commission the various aspects of this top to bottom examination of women’s issues.

Duke Student Government Chief of Staff Emily Grey is the head of the student task force constructed to aid the initiative. To get to the bottom of things, this group will host

THE SECOND GUNMAN: Duke All-Stars Last Tuesday night I went out and got so wasted.

I, THE PUPPETMASTER, was working such mad game all over campus. I am, like, the coolest and THE PATSY is just jealous.

SHATSY: THE MUPPETMASTER was actually trying to hit on ugly girls all over campus and couldn’t even get a fake number from them, flj so I went back to my room.

THE MUFFETMASTER: I love Carson Daly.

Monday, FATSY: I was the coolest kid in my Monday room on West Campus that night....

Whoa! Sorry about that. Looks The Second Gunman like I got a little ahead of myself there. Did suicide rates really go up on Mondays last year? (Just kidding.) (I think.) Thank goodness the Sea Nuggets stepped it up; otherwise we would all have had a case of the Mondays. Still, I can dream of being great like the PATSYMASTER, can’t I? Look, for those of you who are still upset with me for bringing back those brutal memories of the MASTERBLASTER (oh, how sweet the unedited version of this would be) all I can say is: a. At least it wasn’t Faran again. b. If you are still looking to have an angry Monday, just take a peep at what the popularity kings that live above me decided to write about. Want a little sneak preview ofwhat the one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple, people haters are up to on the flip side?

Hi my name is Bill English, and, in a politically correct way, I hate homosexuals.

Hi my name is Nick Christie. Right now every Southerner with a pitchfork is chasing me. *.

Get it? Got it? Good. Between the amounts of hate mail The Chronicle receives every week for those two and the desperately-seeking-advice mail that must be flowing to Faran from girls who desperately need more than advice, it is no wonder that the Duke post office takes a week to handle campus mail.

Seriously, what kind of fine specimens do we have working in the mail department? With all the electronic wizardry they have going on in there, you would think that the brain benders back there would be able to find Box 95933 without the use of a GPS unit. Those first team Post Office All-Americans love to scan and slap labels on s— like it is going out of style, but they can’t “forward” my magazine subscription to my new box. The way things operate back there, you would think that our mail was coming priority from the moon. I am sure with a little training we could find a couple of grade A lemurs

The Hummus Is Among Us or Good Morning Campers! You know that those were the administrators who sat at their desks saying things like: “We had better order twice as many kegs for the quad this weekend. After all, those kids were looking sober by Wednesday this week, and I must say I feel like having a good time this weekend.” Or: “Hey, finals may start tomorrow, but how much could it hurt to bring the beer truck in early?” The prevailing attitude among the administration was said to be one of “Drink well, test well.”

In earth and ocean sciences, that was a very short and often-overlooked geological period commonly referred to as the Dukiushappius Period of which beer can fossils can be found in abundance.

So the All-Stars of the week award goes to the First Team All-Maintenance Peoples. Seriously these superpeople do deserve a round of applause and at least a good dose of ass kissing from administration. In the two that would increase productivity back there exponentially. Speaking of highly trained lemurs, would days before alumni weekend they were able to work someone please put Moneta back in his cage!
