Schools relax early

admissions � A controversial decision by Stanford and Yale may result in reforming early admissions processes at schools nationwide.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

In the latest volley of a higher education debate over early admissions policies for undergraduates, Yale University and Stanford University announced Wednesday their intentions to eliminate their early decision policies in favor of a non-binding early action system.

Their new system will allow applicants to apply early without committing to a school, although applicants will not be able to apply to other early action or decision schools.

Although Duke continues to maintain its commitment to its early decision system, Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said a long-term solution to the national controversy surrounding early decision may now emerge if the nation’s top 50 schools all agreed to a similar non-binding early action system.

“If I were asked whether Duke should adopt early action at this point, I wouldn’t recommend it right now,” GutSee EARLY ACTION on page 5

Duke delves into Donors ask for removal of gargoyles AIDS education

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

This is the fifth story in a five-part series on Dukes 20 years of research and social work against AIDS.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

A diagram of HlV’s structure is projected on a white screen. A patient openly discusses the troubles she has with her benefit plan. An intense conversation on the ethical implications of a new drug cocktail fills the room.

Is this a research laboratory in the Medical Center?

Not exactly.

Since the mid-19905, discussion of AIDS has ex-

panded from the Medical Center’s labs and hospital rooms to the University’s classrooms. From public policy seminars to law school courses, AIDS and all of its biological, ethical, economic, political, cultural and legal implications are now a standard part of the curriculum—and for good reason.

When the University created resembling donors Aubrey and Kathleen McClendon, it hoped to surprise the couple that had given so much to residential life.

The McClendons were surprised, but not in the way the University hoped.

The couple took a tour of the West-Edens Link last Friday and were shocked to see their own images looking back at them from two gargoyles perched over the doorway to the WEL’s McClendon Tower, which is named after them.

Earlier this week, they asked the University to remove the gargoyles.

“Their reaction was one of surprise, but they were, as they always are, very gracious,” said Peter Vaughn, director of communications and donor relations.

WASHINGTON

President

George W. Bush said Thursday that his top priority after the Republican sweep of the midterm elections was creating a new Department of Homeland Security, long stalled by the Democrats, and that he wanted it done before the end of the year.

Bush also said it was essential for Congress to make his $1.35 trillion, 10-year tax cut permanent after its planned expiration in 2010, a centerpiece of his domestic agenda that the Democratic-controlled Senate

would use his party’s victory in Tuesday’s election to muscle forward large parts of his agenda, even though he promised to reach out to Democrats to

help him in governing.

Bush also said for the first time that Vice President Dick Cheney would be his running mate in 2004 because “he is a superb vice president, and there’s no reason to change.”

But the president added a caveat, saying that he was still recovering from his brutal schedule in the 2002 race and that Cheney would be on the

ticket “should I decide to run.”

Sniper suspects face Virginia prosecutors

By CURT ANDERSON The Associated Press

The government Thursday approved a 20-minute HIV test that experts say will greatly cut the number of people who unknowingly carry and spread HIV. News briefs compiled from wire reports.

WASHINGTON The two suspects in the sniper spree that terrorized the Washington area last month will first stand trial in Virginia, a state with strong death penalty laws and a record of carrying out executions.

Attorney General John Ashcroft announced Thursday

FINANCIAL MARKETS

that John Allen Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17, will be tried separately in neighboring suburban counties.

Both face capital murder and other charges.

Even as Ashcroft announced his decision, yet another crime was connected to the pair—a Sept. 21 killing in Atlanta. That brought the number of shootings to 18 linked so far to Muhammad and Malvo by police across the country. Thirteen people were killed.

Ashcroft said at a news conference that the strength of

the evidence in the Virginia cases combined with the state’s tough death penalty laws gave it the edge over Maryland or the federal system in bringing “swift and sure” justice in the sniper shootings.

There were 13 shootings during the three-week sniper spree in the Washington area. Ashcroft read off names of the 10 people killed, noting in each case something personal about the victim or the way they were killed to highlight the “brutal, random” nature of the crimes.

The people targeted were young and old, black and white, men and women. All were doing everyday things such as pumping gas, reading on a bench, buying groceries, mowing grass or vacuuming a minivan.

“It is appropriate, it is imperative, that the ultimate sanction be available for those who have committed these crimes,” Ashcroft said.

Tifft makes the call on elections I Susan Tifft, professor of the practice of public policy studies, spent election night 2002 at NBC News’ Decision Desk, deciding when and how to call a winner in U.S. Senate races.

By BECKY YOUNG The Chronicle

Political junkies who sat with eyes glued to election coverage Tuesday might have hoped they could be the first in the Duke community to know who won—but they were mistaken.

Susan Tifft, Trinity ’73 and Patterson professor of the practice of journalism and public policy studies, sat at NBC’s Decision Desk as an analyst and called about 14 of the night’s Senate races.

Tifft left for NBC’s New York studio at 5 a.m. Tuesday and was calling races until 4:15 the next morning.

“I think this was the first time I was up for 24 hours since I worked for Time magazine,” she said after some much needed rest Wednesday.

NBC selected her as one of four analysts calling U.S. Senate races in part because of her longtime friendship with Evans Witt, president of Princeton Survey Research and former AP poll representative who helped Susan Tifft organize Voter News Service.

VNS, a consortium of ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and TheAssociated Press, counts votes and conducts exit polls.

“At the Decision Desk, everyone brought slightly different skill sets to the operation—some were highly trained statisticians and others, while understanding statistics, had strong journalism training,” Dana Birnberg, who works for Selzer & Company in Des Moines and served as an analyst alongside Tifft, wrote in an e-mail. “Susan is a great example ofthis blendSee DECISION DESK on page 5

STUDENTS IN THE AWAAZ FESTIVAL practice Thursday night on one of their dances. The variety of this year’s dances is meant to reflect the diversity of South Asia and the need for greater cooperation in the region.

He cited providing scholarships for people from developing countries to attend U.S. universities as an important

form of aid. Unfortunately, he said, the number of people who benefit from this has decreased from 20,000 scholarships a year in the 1980s “to almost

nothing now.”

“If you asked [someone involved in USAID] what’s the important thing AID used to invest in, they would say scholarships for American universities,” he said.

Natsios also stressed the importance ofmicroeconomics.

“Bolivia has adopted the democracy reforms, [but] they have not done the microeconomic reforms,” he said, adding that subsequently, Bolivia is not growing economically.

Developing countries, he said, should ask themselves more questions that in-

volve microeconomics, like how their tax policies affect investment.

The half-hour speech was warmly received by the approximately 100 people in attendance, and the hour of questions that followed focused on specific situations like those of Sudan’s civil war and the problem ofAIDS in Africa.

Megan Fotheringham, a graduate student in public policy studies who worked at USAID before attending Duke, said she was impressed by the speech.

“I was excited to hear that the Bush administration is much more involved [in issues involving developing countries] than what is generally reported or felt,” she said.

N.C. NEWS THIS WEEK From staff and wire reports

Easley uses veto for first time Gov. Mike Easley used gubernatorial veto power for the first time in the state’s history, rejecting a bill Wednesday appointing people to a number of state commissions.

Easley said he issued the veto because some of the appointees did not meet the qualifications required by law, but Republicans questioned whether Easley had some other motive. “For the first veto in the history of the state to be such an inane bill lends itself to be scrutinized; it doesn’t make any sense,” said Senate Minority Leader Patrick Ballantine, R-New Hanover.

Republicans have speculated that the governor and Democrats would try to find a means to bring the lame-duck General Assembly back into session. Some have suggested that Easley would try to force another vote on a lottery or budget matters, prior to the seating of a new Legislature with more Republicans tak-

ing office in January. To either address his objections or override his veto, Easley would have to call a special legislative session that could begin no later than next Wednesday.

Stress, culture of military life led to Ft. Bragg killings Five killings this summer involving couples at Fort Bragg are believed to be due to existing marital problems and the stress of separation while soldiers are away on duty, Army investigators said Thursday.

But U.S. Army culture may discourage couples from seeking help in domestic disputes, the report added. A 19-member team, including mental and physical health workers and military clergy, visited the base during August and September and collaborated on the report.

“The bottom line is trying to create a different culture so soldiers and their families understand that seeking help is what we want you to do,” said Lt. Col. Yvonne Tucker-Harris, director of the Army’s family

advocacy programs.

Four Fort Bragg soldiers killed their wives in June and July, authorities said. Two ofthe men committed suicide and the other two are charged with murder.

Three of those cases involved Special Operations soldiers who had served in Afghanistan. The fifth case involves a woman charged with murdering her husband, a major in the Army’s Special Forces.

EARLY ACTION from page I tentag said. “But if the college admissions environment changes significantly over the next two years, in some respect [such an early action system] would be ideal.”

He added that such a system violates current National Association for College Admission Counseling policy that requires universities with early decision or action to allow students to apply early action to other schools. Princeton and Brown Universities, Guttentag said, both have early decision but do not allow students to apply early action to any other schools.

“There are four very visible schools that are, [now] cautiously violating NACAC principles.... That conflict can’t go unaddressed,” Guttentag said. “Either [NACAC] will levy sanctions against those institutions or they’ll change their guidelines.”

President Nan Keohane said

Before Tifft worked for Time magazine, she worked for the Federal Election Commission as an assistant press secretary and for the Carter re-election campaign.

With memories of the 2000 election, NBC and other networks focused more on accuracy than speed this election. “They had a terrible experience in 2000.... Every-' one did,” explained Tifft, who went through two weekends of analyst rehearsal and training with NBC. “This time, it was more important to be right than to be first.”

Furthermore, tensions simmered behind the scenes

as VNS failed the analysts in several ways. At one point, field workers could not enter local poll results due to a system breakdown. Also, VNS did not provide exit polls on the day of the election, preventing networks from interpreting the polls or explaining voter motivations.

“There were some tense moments when the VNS system went down and our screens were frozen,” Tifft said.

At one point, the team had to rely on independent survey data from an AP poll because it was coming in much faster than was any VNS data.

NBC employed a multi-step approach to calling the winners of Tuesday’s races. Tifft and Bimberg, along with political experts John Lapinski and Greg Fleming, sat at the decision desk, analyzing VNS data as it came in. “We as the analysts were the first call,” Tifft explained. “But there were several other mesh screens

it had to go to before it reached the viewer.”

Each analyst monitored 14 to 16 states, whose polls closed at varying times. Tifft noted that her two most interesting and problematic states were North Carolina and Missouri—close races she ultimately called for Republicans Elizabeth Dole and Jim Talent respectively.

Tifft—who sits on the board of directors of Duke Student Publishing Company, which publishes The Chronicle—said analysts called the states only when they felt comfortable with the data. The information then went to Witt, who served as a “traffic cop”—once he felt comfortable with the call, it went to a quality control manager who evaluated the judgment against a detailed list of data. The final step was ethics chief David McCormick, who sent it to the anchors on the air.

WOMAN’S COLLEGE Many women felt they had the best of both worlds.”

Students saw the college as a rare institution offering opportunities to women when few were available.

I chose to come to Duke because what I wanted was a feeling of a small woman’s college [and] the educational advantage of a large university,” said Kathy

Schenley, Woman’s College ’69. “At that time, that’s what Duke was, and that’s how it felt.”

The college’s reputation resulted in many more applicants than there was room for. Those who made it past the admissions committee raised the level of academic excellence and even began to surpass the men.

“The nickname the men had for us was The East Beasts.’ Some of the guys found [our academic level] intimidating and would date girls from Carolina and St. Mary’s. There was a level of scholarship among this group of women that was extremely high,” Schenley said.

In addition to the stimulating intellectual atmosphere, the College was noted for fostering and developing leadership.

“The College gave women many opportunities for leadership—in student government and within the residence halls,” said Allison Haltom, Woman’s College ’72, vice president and university secretary, who is a member of the reunion’s steering committee.

Another of the College’s qualities most cherished by the alumnae is the sense of encouragement fostered by the faculty and deans.

“From the day we entered the college, there was a feeling of confidence that you could do anything. It was very much a nurturing environment for women and one [in which] we were being pushed as well,” Haltom said.

AIDS EDUCATION AIDS was identified at the same time most of today’s college students were bom. They have grown up with constant reminders of AIDS, including Magic Johnson press conferences, red ribbons and condom giveaways.

Duke was one of hundreds of universities in the early 1990s to first participate in the Program for Health and Higher Education, an initiative by the Association of American Colleges and Universities that helps to improve undergraduate learning by focusing attention on HIV/AIDS and other health concerns.

“Every course I’ve taught, I’ve had at least one unit on HIV/AIDS,” said lecturer Sherryl Broverman, who arrived at Duke in 1993 and teaches the biology course AIDS and Emerging Diseases.

“The science of HIV/AIDS is a window to look into how science works.”

Associate Professor Kathy Rudy, who teaches AIDS: Ethics, Policy and Representation, said that when she arrived at Duke in 1994, no courses were offered on AIDS. That year, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported that of the 12 U.S. colleges offering courses on AIDS, those classes were the most popular.

“I teach this course every year and I’ve become convinced that students need it.... They learn how to protect themselves not only against the virus but also [against] injustices accompanying the virus,” Rudy said.

In the School of Law, students can take Clinical Professor Carolyn McAllaster’s AIDS Law course and participate in the AIDS Legal Assistance Clinic, a program McAllaster founded in the mid-1990s to help low-income patients with guardianship planning, benefits representation, end-of-life planning and discrimination cases.

Ten students each year work on almost 200 cases a year. “[The course and clinic] bring sensitivity to issues that not only people with HIV face, but poor people as well. The experience really opens [students’] eyes to a totally different kind of life,” McAllaster said.

She said many former students continue to do pro hono work for AIDS patients and people oflow income.

“I never knew anyone that had HIV or AIDS, and it’s good to expose yourself to different types of people, increase your tolerance and educate yourself about these things,” said Michelle Buchmeier, a third-year law student who is enrolled in the class and works at the clime.

Senior Evelyn Gosnell, a student in AIDS and Emerging Diseases this semester, said one of the most memorable moments from this semester was when a Durham AIDS counselor from spoke to the class and revealed that she herself has been HIV-positive for 16 years and had a child who was bom HIV-positive and died at an early age.

“This wave of shock went through the class,” Gosnell said. “The personal side of it was really, really effective.

It gave a face to the issue we were talking about.”

GARGOYLES from page 1 “Earlier this week, though, they let us know it was a bit too much. They are very private people and they were a little overwhelmed at how prominent [the gargoyles] were.”

Administrators said the gargoyles would come down as soon as something can be found to replace them. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said the replacements will likely be stone carvings. The Herald-Sun of Durham, however, reported that a plaque might occupy the empty spaces.

The stone castings of the husband and wife currently sit on the left and right side of the doorway. How long the McClendon gargoyles will keep watch over

AWAAZ from page 3 Asian, and now there is a lot more non-

South Asian interest.”

Bavishi agreed. “This year’s show emphasizes the experience of secondgeneration South Asian Americans and shows the influence ofother parts of the world in the South Asian diaspora.”

Many participants said the new theme of bridging differences, while still appreciating cultural diversity, was im-

portant to them.

“With such a large audience, Awaaz has the potential to be powerful as a celebration, but only in the context of recognizing the political realities in South

Asia,” said senior Pavithra Vasudevan, a four-time participant in the festival.

“Awaaz can fulfill its potential by acknowledging the massive divisions in the South Asian community, rather than just homogenizing all ofthem.”

Awaaz is sponsored by Diya, which means “light” in Hindi. This is the cultural show’s 18th year on campus, and its second year under the name “Awaaz.”

“It started out in the Giles common room as an attempt to expose the campus to Indian culture,” Bavishi said.

After relocating several times to accommodate increasing crowds, the performance now takes place in Page Auditorium, where it usually draws almost 1,000 attendees.

the 10 years since the state first started tracking it.

However, the Durham public schools bucked the statewide trend, showing a decrease in violent and criminal incidents for the third year in a row. According to figures released Wednesday by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, Durham schools reported 144 incidents to the state during the 200102 school year, down 20 percent from the previous year’s 181.

Statewide, 10,951 criminal and violent acts were committed in the state’s public schools during the 2001-02 school year. That equals nearly 9.5 acts for every 1,000 students, a 56 percent increase. The previous year, schools reported 7,563 criminal acts, or 6.1 incidents for every 1,000 students.

The addition of three categories—possession of an alcoholic beverage,

the West-Edens Link remains unclear.

The University put the long-planned gargoyles up last Thursday, in time for the meeting of the Fuqua School of Business’s Board of Visitors, on which Aubrey McClendon, Trinity ’Bl, sits.

Kathleen McClendon, Trinity ’BO, sits on Trinity College’s board.

The couple has given over $6 million

to the University.

“Everyone had the best of intentions, but I think [the gargoyles] just honored

them too much,” Vaughn said.

While stone carvings adorn many University buildings, until last week, none had been added since the 1940s and none modeled after donors. This gargoyle couple will most likely be both the first and last of its kind, Vaughn said.

Committee approves arena deal for new NBA team The Charlotte City Council’s economic development and planning committee narrowly endorsed a proposal Wednesday to build an arena for a new NBA team.

The deal includes some private backing and a 25-year lease for the team.

The committee voted 3-2 to back the tentative agreement—the full council votes Monday night.

Several council members have said they are concerned about the tight construction schedule—architects would need to begin work almost immediately in order to meet the deadline of opening the arena in October 2005—and whether the project can fall within the

Simel, Blue Devils assail Virginia A 1-0 shutout continues the Blue Devils’ late season reversal of fortunes

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

Needing a win to give themselves a shot at the NCAA tournament, the women’s soccer team (9-8-2, 2-3-2 in the Virginia Cavaliers (11-6-2, 4-3-0) from the ACC tpurnament with a 1-0 victory Thursday afternoon.

“Playing with a sense of urgency has helped us,” head coach Robbie Church said. “We haven’t talked about it. We just go out and there and finish the plays we need to.”

The Blue Devils’ goal scoring has been suspect all season but they got on the board first, midway through the opening half. As Duke moved into Cavalier territory and pushed their defenders forward, freshman Heidi Hollenbeck sprinted up the right flank with the ball. She crossed the ball into the 18-yard box just as the Virginia defense tried to catch the Blue Devils’ offside.

Sophomore Lauren Simel slipped through a crack in the Cavaliers' backfield and took one touch to trap Hollenbeck’s pass before burying a goal past Virginia netminder Anne Abernathy with a shot to the far post.

,

After the Blue Devils jumped to a 1-0 lead, they dropped back into a more defensive formation. Senior captain Rebecca Smith helped Duke ensure a victory on the defensive end as she watched her team live to play another day.

“The game was huge for us,” Smith said. “We play our best when our backs are against the wall. It means everything to me, I’m a senior and this is my last go at it. For our team to play as hard and with as much passion is huge.”

The Duke defense played its most important game of the year as they worked together to keep the ball See SOCCER on page 12

McCain advances at nationals From staff reports Duke tennis sensation Kelly McCain began her quest for a second straight grand slam singles title in style Thursday, breezing to a first round victory in the Omni Hotels National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships.

The Blue Devil sophomore, holding the top seed in the tournament, defeated William & Mary’s Megan Muth in straight sets (7-6 (0), 6-2).

The heavily favored McCain had a bit of trouble initially, as Muth battled her stroke for stroke on the way to a first set tiebreaker. The rout began in the tiebreaker, however, as McCain took advantage of her overpowering serve to win seven straight points and capture the set.

Using pinpoint ground strokes and superior quickness, McCain raced out to an early lead in the second set and never looked back. Muth was unable to mount any sort of counterattack, and eventually succumbed to the All-American, 6-2.

With the victory, McCain maintained her undefeated record and moved to 6-0 on the year. She also advanced to Friday’s second round, where she will face 14th-ranked Alice Pirsu of Pennsylvania. The two met earlier this year in the round of 16 at the Riviera All-American where McCain won a hard-fought match.

Cavaliers capsized, Duke to play No. 3 Wake today

By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

Duke’s wishes for a chance to advance to the second round of the ACC tournament were granted thanks to a certain freshman.

Katie Grant scored three consecutive goals for the Blue Devils and assisted on two more to lift Duke (13-7) 5-2 over Virginia (9-11). The Blue Devils are undefeated against the Cavaliers in 2002, having defeated them 4-2 earlier this season. Grant scored one goal in that contest.

“She certainly didn’t look like a freshman,” fourth-year head coach Liz Tchou said. “She’s improved a lot since the beginning of the season on her skill and getting her shots off earlier in the circle and mixing it up. I’m really proud of her today, she was virtually unstoppable Her first unassisted score came at the 10:17 mark off a shot from right inside the circle. Just seven minutes later, the forward scored off a rebound after Virginia’s goalkeeper Emily White dove to the ground to save a cross shot. Grant ran behind White and nailed the ball into an open goal from about ten ”

feet out to build on Duke’s early lead.

With 14 minutes left in the half, Grant almost found the goal a third time, when she dribbled through a pair of UVa defenders, but barely missed the goal.

Virginia managed to put some points on the board before the half, when Cara Unterkofler scored off an assist from Shannon La Vigne.

At the 43:45 mark Grant scored her third unassisted goal on a dribble past the goalie, tying her for the ACC Tournament individual single game goal record.

It was also her eleventh goal in 2002.

The offense continued to revolved around Grant, when nearly horizontal with the goal, she found an open Kim Van Kirk who slapped the ball in the net for a 4-1 lead. Less than a minute and a halflater, the two successfully executed the same exact play for Duke’s fifth and final goal. For Van Kirk, it was her team-leading twelfth score on the season.

Virginia’s Sara York countered with a score on a breakaway just over fourteen minutes later off an assist by Unterkofler.

Volleyball hosts No. 12 UNC in key matchup

By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

Blue Devil and Tar Heel roundball teams face off in traditional fashion in Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday, with one team hoping to climb higher in the national ranking and the other hoping to avenge an early-season loss. But the only surprise is that “nothing but net” will be considered a bad thing in this contest between Tobacco Road rivals.

This isn’t Smith vs. Coach K. It’s Sagula vs. Nagel.

The volleyball team faces off at 7:30 p.m. against 12th-ranked North Carolina, with both teams coming in on winning surges. Duke has won its last seven matches, and nine of its last ten.

Conversely, North Carolina has won 14 out of its last 15 and is leading the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 10-1 league record.

These two streaking teams met earlier in the year, when the Tar Heels won a brutal four-game match at Carmichael Auditorium in Chapel Hill. UNC, then-No. 11 in the country, took a 30-22 and 30-23 victories in the first and third games. Duke muscled out a victory in the second game, 30-20. In the fourth stanza, Duke lost a heartbreaker by only two points, falling 30-28 to

lose the match.

The Blue Devils have not lost since, and their consistent winning reflects some adjustments in the team lineup, strategy, and focus.

“Carolina tries to [force] their opponents to make mistakes,” said senior outside hitter Jill Sonne. “We don’t make as many mistakes now as we did when

we played UNC [earlier in the season].”

Head coach Jolene Nagel’s squad is hoping to earn retribution for the October loss, but Nagel stresses that the team should concentrate on Friday, and that winning would be first and foremost in her

players’ minds.

“With these matches, every night’s a new night,” Nagel said. “It’s going to be a battle, regardless of how the past games have gone.”

Regardless, much of tonight’s focus will be on the past, as it represents the penultimate game in Cameron Indoor Stadium for the squad’s three seniors.

Sonne, defensive specialist Josie Weymann, and middle blocker Rachel Vander Griend are all four-year veterans of the team, going into its last truly competitive home game.

The final home matchup, and therefore Senior Night, will fall on Saturday against the woeful Wolfpack of N.C. State, whose conference record is a dismal 0-11.

Focusing on the Tar Heels should be easier, then, since N.C. State is not a terribly imposing opponent.

“These seniors have contributed significantly to this team for four years, so it’s bittersweet,” Nagel said.

“We’ll have to do a lot of training to fill the holes they leave when they graduate.”

Both teams will go into the final game hoping to improve theirrecords, but clearly there is more at stake.

ANDY YUN/THE CHRONICLE “With UNC, it’s never about wins and losses,” will “With this NOBLE and the rest of the Blue Devils look to upset the ERIN Weymann said of the game’s significance.

Maybe they were hitting lanes on the outside ofthe field and penwanted to put on a show for the rest of the conference etrating well. They just really thoroughly, from front to and the larger than usual audience. Maybe they wantback, did an outstanding job.”

Indeed, it was a team effort, as Duke head coach Liz ed to make a statement.

Whatever they were trying to do, it worked.

Tchou shared praise for all ofher players after the game.

The field hockey played arguably its best game of ‘We put it together,” a smiling Tchou said. ‘We passed, the season and continued its recently strong run, we opened up. I thought our outletting out of the 16 was which began last weekend in a victory against incredible. We moved the ball around. Everyone played Virginia and with a near-win against defending really well and stuck to the game plan. We played at a

national champion Michigan, the No. 2 team in the country.

The win will give the J esse C'OiVUl Blue Devils even more confidence as Game Commentary they prepare to take on No. 1 seed Wake Forest tomorrow night.

Duke was so dominant that even Virginia’s head coach expressed frustration with her team’s inability to perform against a team that had not won an ACC game since 1999.

“They were giving us trouble all over the field,” Cavalier head coach Jessica Wilk said. “I thought defensively they were coming up with ball after ball

high tempo and that really caught UVa offguard.”

Yesterday’s win was Duke’s first ACC tournament victory since 1997, and it all started with the team’s upperclassmen.

Both the coaches and the players credit them, especially the team’s trio of seniors—midfielder Chrissie Ashley, defender Sarah Wright, and goalkeeper Erica Perrier—with great leadership and hard work.

But something was clarified yesterday.

Duke’s underclassman are something of a new breed of Duke field hockey players, and they might be able to take Duke field hockey to the next level—that of winning conference and national championships with the likes of North Carolina and Maryland. That kind of transformation is far from certain, but the potential for this development lies in the impressive play of Duke’s underclassmen.

In 2001 Duke’s leading scorer was then-freshman Johanna Bischof, and this year it is a neck-and-neck race between junior Kim Van Kirk and freshmen Grant. Combined, they have 30 goals.

Cavalier coaches can speak of Duke’s young prowess first-hand, as they will be likely be having nightmares of Grant and Van Kirk tonight. Together, the Pennsylvania natives combined for five goals and three assists against Virginia.

In past years—before the Liz Tchou era—Duke has languished at the middle and bottom of the ACC. But after dismantling the Cavaliers, it appears that Duke is quickly rising or may have already arrived.

That question will be answered in part tonight against No. 3 Wake Forest.

The Blue Devils were able to keep their early season game against the Deamon Deacons close at 1-0 for most of the game before letting Wake Forest pull away with a 3-0 shutout in Winston Salem, N.C. If they can win tonight, however, it will mean a spot in the tournament final against Maryland or North Carolina, and a chance to win their first-ever ACC title. For Tchou and the Blue Devils, a strong overall performance will be imperative against the confident Deamon Deacons.

But win or lose tonight, one thing is clear: Duke is on the verge of becoming one of the premier field hockey programs in the country.

SOCCER from page 9 out of the net as the Wahoos relentlessly attacked.

Freshman Noelle Keselica led the Cavalier offense with four out of their twenty total shots. Duke All-ACC goalie Thora Helgadottir made seven saves in the game, compared to just one by Abernathy.

Helgadottir pointed to the early goal as the momentum needed to give the Blue Devils a necessary win to help them qualify for the NCAA tournament.

“Getting a goal was a great thing because we had been struggling with the offense a little bit,” Helgadottir said. “But the defense has been playing great and they kept it up today. We did a great job I think.”

Duke used its defensive strength to its maximum potential in the second half as they allowed 12 shots.

The Blue Devils focused on keeping the Cavaliers offbalance as the majority of their goal scoring chances were not on target.

Church noted that despite Virginia’s overwhelming amount of shots, it could not penetrate past Duke’s defensive wall.

“They had a lot ofshots, but not a lot of great opportunities,” Church said. “Thora made two of three big saves in the second half. She’s a special player and we defended well as a team.”

With the 1-0 victory, the Blue Devil’s are guaranteed a chance for an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament. The next step for Duke in the ACC tournament is a matchup with Clemson Friday night.

Earlier this season the Tigers came back from a 2-0 deficit and beat the Blue Devils 3-2 in overtime. Duke will have to regroup and come out with the same do-ordie attitude if they want to advance to the ACC finals.

“Clemson beat us earlier in the season and we wanted another chance at them,” Church said. “Our girls will be ready to play.”

FIELD HOCKEY from page 9 “I’m kinda still surprised at my performance a little bit,” Grant said. “I’m really happy that I can contribute to the team. We worked so well together and it wasn’t just me, it was the passes that got to me and it was our whole team working together. It was just amazing to be out there and it was fim.”

The Blue Devils certainly dominated from the opening minute of play, playing inspired hockey as they shut down the Cavalier attack and penetrated the Virginia defense with surprising ease.

Duke’s strong defense was led by Kim Gogola and Suzanne Simpson, who had several key blocks throughout the course of the game. This is evidenced by the Blue Devils outshooting UVa 17-6 and having five more comer shots.

JOHANNA BISCHOF has been on fire of late, scoring three goals since being sidelined with a broken hand. Bischof, who led the Blue Devil’s in scoring in 2001, will be pivotal against a high-scoring Wake Forest team that defeated Duke 3-0 earlier this season.

White notched five saves on the day, while Duke’s freshman phenom Christy Morgan had two.

In the end, Virginia head coach Jessica Wilk had nothing but praise for the opponents.

“They’re a very fundamentally sound team,” she said. “They play well as a unit, they have good skill, they have good speed. Defensively, I thought they did a very nice job coming up with the ball. I think they’re a very, very good team, so I think it’s going to be a battle tomorrow.”

The Blue Devils play top-seeded and No. 3 Wake Forest Friday night at 7 p.m. at Williams Field. The Demon Deacons manhandled Duke earlier this season in Winston Salem, N.C. to the tune of a 3-0 shutout.

“We just all have to be mentally in the game [against Wake Forest] for 70 minutes,” Gogola said.

“It’s going to be a battle, but I feel good about it. It’s nice to have home field advantage.”

Gun safety measures the wake of the recent sniper shootings in the Washington, D.C. area, many people have suggested a national system of ballistic fingerprinting for firearms, where the unique marks that gun barrels leave upon fired bullets are recorded and kept in a national database. Then, when a crime is committed, the ballistics evidence collected at the crime scene can be compared to the information stored within the database, providing investigators with a powerful tool to help narrow down suspects and catch criminals.

Unfortunately, the White House has come out in opposition to such ballistic fingerprinting, suggesting that it is inaccurate and would not help solve crimes. However, police and forensic experts already use ballistic fingerprinting to solve crimes, as the sniper case indicates.

Whenever a new shooting occurred, investigators used ballistic evidence to confirm that the crimes were committed by the same person.

If police and forensic experts are already using ballistic fingerprinting in their investigations, how can the Bush administration argue that it is not helpful? Of course, ballistic fingerprints can be altered, but that does not mean they cannot be helpful. Even if some (or many) gun-owners alter the ballistic fingerprints of their guns, for those who do not, the database of information still can be used as a valuable crime-solving tool.

What is most disturbing about the White House’s opposition to sensible safety measures like ballistic fingerprinting is that the Bush administration seems to be towing the National Rifle Association’s line rather than thinking about the pertinent issues at hand. The president should not be a tool of the NRA, mouthing whatever pro-gun drivel they want him to, especially when the NRA’s position is nonsensical.

Whenever any law having anything remotely to do with guns is proposed, the NRA reacts in a knee-jerk manner by stauchly opposing any bill, regardless ofits intent or its actual effect on gun owners. However, if the NRA knew what was good for it, it would actually support many of the gun laws it fights so hard against.

Things such as ballistic fingerprinting only make guns safer and help prevent crime; if the NRA supported gun safety measures and crime prevention measures, that could go a long way toward changing the NRA’s image from a crazed group of fanatics dedicated to having absolutely unregulated guns at any cost into a group dedicated to protecting the Second Amendment while balancing that freedom —one of the core freedoms upon which America was founded and an essential one for the functioning of our democracy—with legitimate crime fighting and safety concerns.

Beyond ballistic fingerprinting, the government should also work hard to ensure that the gun laws currently on the books are effectively and broadly enforced and that ridiculous loopholes, such as allowing unregulated gun sales at gun shows, be closed. These measures and laws are not about infringing upon the Second Amendment, They are solely about improving the safety of America for both gun owners and non-gun owners alike.

Everybody should be in favor of these sensible measures that promise to reduce gun violence and to make it easier to solve those unfortunate crimes that give firearms a bad name.

Democratic Party must find charismatic candidate The reason for the Republican victory Tuesday night lies more in the current weakness of their opponent than in the political attitude of the country. The leadership of the Democratic Party has decided to sacrifice principles

to political calculation, yet, with the exception of former President Bill Clinton, nobody in the leadership of the Democratic Party has any skill for political calculation.

In failing to provide principled opposition to the prospect of war with Iraq while allowing this issue to dominate the debate, pushing aside topics such as Social Security and energy pohcy, the Democrats

have been attempting to separate themselves from the Republicans without directly opposing the popular president. They are in the position of doing neither what is popular nor what is right.

Pat pollster Former Caddell, a Democrat far more disgruntled than myself, has

pointed

out

that

the

Democratic Party, by joining the Republicans in selling out

to corporate interests, has gotten itself into a fight that it cannot win since Republicans actually believe in corporate interests. In order to return to must power, Democrats return to the principles of social justice that made them

Democrats in the first place.

Clinton succeeded by moving to the center mainly through the force of his personality.

The current front-runners for the Democratic nomination in

2004—former Vice President Gore, Senator Tom Daschle, and Represenative Dick Gephardt—are the worst possible candidates for the party because they lack both charisma and conviction. The party must find new leadership by 2004, or else the long two years facing this nation will become a

Commentary

The Chronicle

That’s so ghetto

Republican vision Two weeks ago, I went to the Charlotte Coliseum to see President George W. Bush speak. I knew he’d been traveling around the country to support Republican candidates and assumed he would speak for about five min-

utes, endorse Elizabeth Dole, pose for a few pictures with

her and then head off to his next rally. But in typical Bush fashion, the president exceeded my expectations.

He spoke for about 40 minutes, talking little about Dole and a lot about his vision for America. He was surprisingly controversial. He said he wanted his party to gain a Senate majority so that he could appoint judges to the federal courts who would use their positions to interpret laws rather than create them. He explained why it is an economic truth that tax cuts invigorate slow economies and that he wants the tax cuts of 2001 to be permanent so that businesses can invest their resources and create new jobs without fear of tax cut repeals. He said we should look into a senior preNathan scription drug plan and he told ofrecent Carleton : victories in the war on terror, explain- betting 7 .

Down to t, ~

V’ mg why it is accomplishing what it was usmess supposed to accomphsh. He said he it is his to the protect duty believes American people and that we need to send inspectors into Iraq to find out what Hussein is hiding. And yes, he even said that Hussein poses so grave a threat to American security that another refusal of inspection must be answered with some,

thing more than a reprimand.

I didn’t agree with everything Bush said that day, just as I haven’t agreed with every action he’s taken since elected. But it was apparent to me, as it has been for over two years, that he has a well-thought-out plan for improving American lives.. Based on Tuesday’s election results, it is clear that Americans see this vision and prefer it to the typical negativity and scare tactics the Democratic Party once again used this election cycle.

I find only one of several theories convincing as to why the Republicans dramatically took over the Senate and gained seats in the House during a recession. The Republican Party has a vision and the Democratic Party doesn’t. Bush, a classy, honest and likable man, laid out his vision for America: tax cuts will create new jobs and improve economies, social security needs to be reformed before it runs out and we need to fight terrorism for protection, even if it requires a war with Iraq.

Let’s contrast this to the Democratic strategy. The key campaigners were Bill Clinton, a divisive figure who is not exactly the pinnacle ofintegrity or class, and A1 Gore, Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt, three men with snakelike personalities and unhealthy obsessions with being elected president. Still, the problem with the Democrats’ campaign was not with leadership but with strategy.

While the Republicans offered a positive vision for the future, the Democrats, while fittingly reviving the political careers of retreads Frank Lautenberg and Walter Mondale, offered old-fashioned negativity and venom.

Their strategy of demonizing Bush was suicidal and inappropriate. Democrats despise Bush and have tried to castigate him as a mean spirited person at every opportunity. That’s why they lost the Senate Tuesday. Instead of attacking him on policy, they accused him of wanting to steal from senior citizens and hurt Iraqi children.

The Democrats could have told Americans why they, not Republicans, had solutions to solve todays problems.

Instead, they made personal attacks on Republicans. It got so bad that Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe said that the party’s number one priority was making sure Jeb Bush was not reelected in Florida. McAuliffe’s statement illustrates the problem with the Democrats’ strategy. While Republicans were thinking about the future and offering positive solutions, Democrats were viciously focused on only the past and present. They would rather get vengeance on Bush for winning Florida two years ago than campaign in a battleground Senate race.

I learned this week that the cynics are wrong. It’s possible to win an election with vision and optimism. If I could talk to Bush today I’d say the exact same thing I said to him at the Coliseum last month. As he walked toward the frenzied crowd, we shook hands. “You’ve made us proud Mr. President,” I said. “Thank you,” he replied. Given the classy and successful campaign he ran this cycle, one that may change how future campaigns are run, we should all be thanking him.

Over and over again, one word resonates as I partake in my daily ritual: ghetto. “Oh my God that shirt is so ghetto,” “Central is so ghetto,” “You talk so ghetto,” “Durham is ghetto,” “BET (Black Entertainment Television) is ghetto,”“Those boys were loud and ghetto,” and my absolute, all-time favorite, ‘You have a ghetto booty.” I’ve noticed that “ghetto” has become such a part

Yolanda Warren Commentary of Duke students’ vernacular that it’s used for anything pertaining to a negative attribute, undesired trait and any stereotypical conception of class, hip hop culture and blackness. But, what does ghetto really mean?

Historically ghetto has been associated with the isolation of Jews into particular segments of European cities. In a broader social context, ghetto functions within popular consciousness to signify the “quarter where members of a minority reside as a result of social or economic pressure.” Since the late 1960s ghetto has come to be associated largely with the concentration of African Americans in urban areas. Within Duke’s popular culture, ghetto has assumed a broader meaning. How is it that a shirt could be ghetto? Is it a shirt that comes from a housing authority or a shirt that depicts the projects?

Here ghetto refers to a shirt that the speaker thought was ugly or unattractive. How do you act ghetto? Here acting ghetto signified listening to or singing rap songs.

The BET quote is most illustrative in helping us define and seek greater understanding of ghetto as it’s used at Duke. BET is a network that presents music videos (mostly R&B, jazz, gospel and hip hop) and other programming. WTiat links these programs to their network is the term black. Thus, this quote “BET is ghetto” correlates blackness and ghetto.

This stereotype of blackness refers to media depictions that suggest most people who five in the ghetto are black and come from lower-income neighborhoods.

According to these stereotypes, ghetto is anything pertaining to hip hop culture, colloquially referred to by the dominant culture as rap. Thus, clothing lines and particular clothing items popular within the hip hop culture are labeled as ghetto. Stereotyped and simplistic understandings of hip hop culture lead people to assume that actions of some people, such as illegal activities, smoking weed, drinking 40s, walking a particular way, or using colloquial terms considered outside the official English language means ghetto.

What strikes me as particularly offensive in some Duke students’ use of the word, is the assumption that ghetto implies a negative connotation. However, many individuals from the ghetto utilize the word to positively

glorify their ability to achieve, in spite of social and economic stigmas associated with their neighborhoods.

Percy Miller (Master P) uses the term to show a remembrance and pride for the community that nurtured him.

Articulations of ghetto assume a different nature when blurred along racial lines. Having ghetto attributes becomes not only those from the ghetto or engaged in ghetto activities, but all people with any attribute common to or behavior associated with blackness. One conception of blackness pollutes other conceptions, so that the stereotype of the ghetto male or female becomes the same stereotypes as black male or female. So, a ghetto booty, means you have booty like, according to a stereotypical prototype of the black female body, a black girl. What’s so wrong with a big booty? The logic then is: ghetto rap music hip hop culture black lower class criminal big booty.

The logic may seem faulty but that’s the nature of common sense, stereotypes and ill informed opinions about groups of individuals.

For many Duke students, Central Campus has become Duke’s ghetto. Central Campus is considered in dire need of renovation. Within Duke’s popular, majority culture Central Campus is like the projects because its buildings are so run down. For some, it is considered dangerous to step foot on Central Campus after dark and an adventure to ride the Central Campus bus after 6. Yet, as one of Duke’s three campuses, owned, funded, and maintained by Duke University funds, Central Campus is far from a housing authority funded with public monies for lower income people. People who live in Central Campus apartments are Duke students who pay the same tuition as those who inhabit West and East campuses.

Beyond the rhetoric, it is my sense that what lies at the heart of this conceptualization of Central Campus as the ghetto and the loose use of the word ghetto around campus, is the word’s ideological relation in the dominant common sense to stereotypes of blackness. There is an implied relation between black persons and ghetto. Thus, the fact that a large portion of black students live on Central may begin to show why for so many, Central Campus is “like so ghetto.”

The point is not just to highlight irrational articulations of ghetto, but show what the particular statements with the word reveal about race relations at Duke. Duke students’ colloquial use of ghetto communicates not only an implicit acceptance of classist assumptions and stereotypes ofblackness as social facts, but it also speaks to a power differential between the speaker and those branded as ghetto. So now only one question remains, when you use the term ghetto, what are you saying? =

Secrets and lies The little black dress is hot. On the rack, it looks like it could shimmy and shake and swallow some guy whole. This is a little black dress with a cigarette and H messy hair. This is a little black dress for dancing. This is a 4 little black dress for JIHpI taking off.

Faran “How does it .1 v look?” asks my KJentCll friend in the dress- You Write like a Girl ing room. And suddenly, this is a little black dress to cause a big bad fight. The dress is too small, and my friend knows it.

Tin not sure it hangs right,” I say, hoping shell catch on. Instead, she glares at me. “Why not?” she growls. “Am I too fat?” Oh please. My friend isn’t fat; she’s gorgeous. The dress didn’t fit, and I told her so, right before she stormed out of the store, her face on fire. “I know you were right,” she said later, after borrowing a dress from me. “I just wish you would he to me sometimes.”

She’s not the only one.

Occasionally, being a friend means

HoNff

telling people what they need to hear. But if you can’t count on your Mends for truth, what are they for?

And as we know, Mends don’t let Mends look fat at formal.

So should you ever lie to your friends? “Sometimes,” says a campus socialite, while raiding my closet. As she slipped on a slip-dress, she let it slip that she’d dropped her longtime boy. “Do you know what he told his frat brothers?” she moaned. He said, “I can’t believe she dumped me. I spent so much money on that girl!”

As she sifted through my makeup, she continued: “I know he didn’t just spend his money. He spent his heart too. But if lying about it makes him feel better, then I don’t really care what he says.” Later, this guy broke down on my couch, admitting he couldn’t talk to his boys about his heart.

Sometimes, the truth can change to whom you talk. But sometimes, it’s the unsaid stuff that hurts. My Mend has a Not-BoyMend. They’re close, they’re cute and they’re terrified to talk about it. “I don’t want to freak him out,” shrugs the girl as we

make our nightly trip to Starbucks.

“If I ask what’s going on, he’ll know I want to get serious and that might

push him away.” But does she want to get serious? “Yes, of course!” she says wistfully. “But I can’t tell him what I want or he’ll get scared!”

I’m friends with the NotBoyfriend, too, and sometimes I casually ask for updates on the girl.

“I really want to get serious,” he told me as we rode the bus to Central.

“But I’m afraid she’s not ready yet, and I’m pushing her to go too fast.” I wanted to tell him her feelings, but since this girl had sworn me to secrecy, all I could do was smile.

We all keep secrets and tell lies.

Being straight-up is scary, and glossing over ourselves is an easy quick-fix for our lives. But if these two kids start being honest with each other, they might just fall in love. And what will happen if the rest of us find the strength to tell the truth? Well, we’ll never know

until we try.
