Kappa Sig dissolves itself

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Faced with impending sanctions from its national headquarters and the University, Kappa Sigma fraternity decided to dissolve its Duke chapter

Saturday.

Although it will lose its on-campus housing and recognition from the University, group leaders said they plan to continue social and rush activities.

“We do not see this as our group breaking up,” Kappa Sig President Jeff Adams said. “We see this as our group breaking from our nationals.”

The group was supposed to have gone “dry”—or alcoholfree—last spring after a pledge was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. After an intoxicated member fell out a section win•

University celebrates merger anniversary

By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

Although East Campus was full of women once again Saturday morning, the University wasn’t about to reinstate the Woman’s College 30 years after its demise.

Rather, alumnae gathered to celebrate the tradition of the Woman’s College by reflecting on the impact it has had on Duke University. The weekend-long commemoration opened with a speech by President Nan Keohane on the role of gender in higher education that drew a standing ovation from the largely female audience.

The Woman’s College—which got its start in 1930 after Washington B. Duke gave Trinity College a $lOO,OOO gift with the condition that women be given the same caliber education as males—was progressive in many respects because it set in place parallel student organizations in which women could take on leadership roles that were normally filled by men. After the school merged with the once allmale Trinity College in 1972 these leadership opportunities See WOMEN on page 8

Theta Chi considers options

By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

As Kappa Sigma fraternity dissolved its Duke chapter this weekend, another fraternity, Theta Chi, is facing similar administrative pressures and could follow the same track in the upcoming months, members said this weekend.

Due to a combination of alcohol and hazing violations, Theta Chi was placed on probation last semester, preventing the fraternity from having

all but one party or any brotherhood events. This semester Theta Chi was caught violating its probation when a residence coordinator found several members playing a drinking game in their section.

“The RC came in and saw them playing Beirut,” said David DiPietro, a senior in Theta Chi. Theta Chi has since submitted a proposal to the administration that specifies the way in which they believe they should be punished for the incident. If

the administration does not accept this recommendation, Uni-

versity officials will give Theta Chi three options.

“They can revoke our charter, prevent us from having a rush class or we can lose our housing,” DiPietro said. “Any of the three things kills the fraternity.”

Some brothers offered alterviewpoints about whether dissolution would then be inevitable. native

Reporter panel discusses impact of midterm elections

By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

Three political journalists met in a panel discussion Saturday to discuss the causes and effects of last week’s historic midterm elections, in which the president’s party broke a long-standing trend by gaining seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate during the administration’s first midterm elections.

Participating in Saturday’s discussion, held in the Sanford Institute for Public Policy, were national political correspondent for CNN Aaron Brown, national political correspondent and columnist for the Los Angeles Times Ronald Brownstein and national political editor for The Wall Street Journal John Harwood.

Although the three panelists differed slightly in their predictions for future election trends, all agreed that Nov. 5 was not an indication of an ideological shift for the nation as a whole.

Brown attributed Democrats’ poor showing to InoiHo InslU e

an inability to frame a campaign for a post-Sept.

11 nation captivated by the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks and the prospect of military action in Iraq. The anxiety associated with these concerns explained why factors such as a faltering economy

did not work against the Republicans, he said.

“It’s not that people don’t care about the economy. People do. Or that people don’t care about prescription drugs. People do,” Brown said. “But in virtually every close race, what people did was say, ‘What does the commander in chief need?”’

Harwood was slightly less willing to discount the importance of the economy in last week’s elections. Rather than completely ignoring the issue, he said, voters considered the economy and weighed it against the many other issues in which the president’s party is currently involved.

In the end, however, the issue took a back seat to more pressing concerns.

Duke Student Government led groups on four safety wa|ks Thursday night to find out ways to make the campus safer. See page 4

Arab nations back U.N. resolution The Arab League of foreign ministers says the U.S. should not invade Iraq

BEIRUT, Lebanon Arab governments voiced collective support Sunday for new weapons inspections inside Iraq, although they want Arab experts added to the inspection teams and warned that the latest U.N. resolution should not be considered a free pass for Washington to invade.

“This resolution stopped an immediate strike against Iraq, but only an immediate strike,” he said. “Now America cannot strike Iraq under U.N. auspices, although of course the United States can strike Iraq unilaterally outside international law.

GOP victories give Bush political capital

By RICHARD STEVENSON

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON With his party in control and his political standing solidified, President George W Bush has new freedom to confront the weakened economy on his terms and has put his advisers to work developing an ambitious agenda for the next two years.

It is sure to include making permanent the 10-year tax cut passed last year, securing new tax cuts for investors, holding down spending in areas other than national security and moving slowly toward overhauling the tax code and Social Security.

The president is eager to take advantage of the Republican majority on Capitol Hill, his aides say, adding that he has long since absorbed the lesson of 1992, when Bill Clinton beat Bush’s father partly by casting him as

out of touch on the economy. But after two years in office, Bush faces added pressure to get good economic results or pay a steep price when it comes to his own repolitical strategists election, and economic policy-makers in both parties say.

Bush used the economic downturn, which began around the time he took office, to build support for the $1.35 trillion tax cut that he signed into law 17 months ago.

In that way, the economy’s current weakness could be an opportunity for the White House to assert that expanded tax-cutting would again give the economy the lift it needs.

Even though the Democrats are sure to put up a fight, in Congress and in the presidential campaign, they are in disarray on economic policy—and deeply split over tax cuts in particular.

Students DSG locates safety hot spots on walk tutor Asian immigrants

By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

Bundled up in jackets, hats and mittens to brave the cold weather, students and administrators searched the campus last Thursday night for possible safety risks.

On the annual safety walk—organized by Duke Student Government’s facilities and athletics committee—participants split into four student-led groups touring Central Campus, East Campus, Science Drive and the WestEdens Link and Blue Zone. All groups identified overgrown shrubbery and lack of lighting and blue lights—-

Global Grasp, a new Duke student group, is teaching the English language to immigrants new to North Carolina.

By GABRIEL CHEN The Chronicle

Although some Duke students spend their Saturday afternoons catching up on sleep or homework, a dozen of them do something different—tutoring immigrants from Hong Kong and China in the English language for about two hours every week.

The student volunteers are members ofGlobal Grasp, a student-run organization that aims to raise awareness of global challenges and crises through programs involving people from other cultures and backgrounds.

The group’s first project this year is the New Immigrant Program, in which tutors commit themselves to five Saturdays a semester. They usually work with 20 immigrants at the Faith Alliance Church in Goldsboro, N.C.—a 90-minute drive from Durham.

“I met one of the families in Goldsboro in July,” said sophomore Margaret Wat, president and founder of Global Grasp. “I suggested that we tutor them in English because most of them had

Lieutenant Richard Hathaway of the Duke University Police Department said he thought a lack of manpower prevented the police department from increasing

those patrols.

Hathaway recommended replacing emergency phones and blue lights with the new technology installed near the WEL, where a phone call activates a strobe light at the top of the pole.

Social life summit finds on-campus options exist

By MOLLY NICHOLSON

ize that the social life at Duke is changing. “Most of us were upperclassmen, and I think we had the same stereotypes that everyone goes to parties and gets drunk on the weekends... but when we really spoke about the different options on campus... I’ve realized Duke is in a transition period right now.”

Students discussed, among other topics, the difficulties of finding facilities and publicizing events, high technical fees, increased collaboration among groups, the alcohol policy and a lack of social space on East Campus.

Participants also found that collaboration among different groups, advertising, providing food and a central location all contributed to well-attended events.

“More people will go to an event if people from a broad spectrum feel that they have ownership in that event,”

The Chronicle

Despite rumors that social life at Duke is dwindling, student leaders who gathered Saturday to discuss the social scene found that is not the case.

At a social life summit-organized by the Duke Student Government student affairs committee—students from DSG and about 15 cultural, religious and unaffiliated organizations discussed the current state of social life and how to create an ideal social scene at Duke.

“Some people say that social life has died, but... once we got those people around the table, we saw that there real-

ly are a lot of social options,” said senior Troy Clair, DSG vice president for student affairs. “We’re dealing with the perception that there’s not a lot of things to do but... people maybe aren’t aware that there are [other] things to do.”

For senior Richard Rivera, Mi Gente president, the meeting made him real-

Clair said.

Increasing social space was also a

concern, and students mentioned the Bryan Center, Gilbert Addoms Dormitory and the West-Edens Link’s McClendon Tower as possible spaces. Duke Vice' President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta is currently planning a renovation of the Bryan Center and surrounding buildings to create more social space in a “student village.”

“There needs to be space on campus, and we’re going to need to find the space before the student village is finished, space where you can go with a diverse group of friends and know that other people will be there,” Clair said.

Jesse Panuccio, president ofthe Duke University Union and a senior, said he was concerned that many students “seem to think that there’s nothing to do on campus,” pointing to recent weekend events, including Awaaz, multiple bands and movies, as examples of “how much there is to do on campus if people would just go ouTthere and look for it.”

Jeremy Morgan, president of the Interfraternity Council and a senior, agreed. “Whenever people think of fraternities, I think they often think of them as providing the social scene on campus,” Morgan said. “I don’t think that it should be the fraternity system’s responsibility to provide a social scene for the entire student body.”

To increase awareness of social options on campus, students discussed having a freshman orientation to social life to “orient people to the possibilities of what they can do on week-

ends,” Clair said.

Many people blamed the administration for diminishing social life on campus, said senior Andrew Nurkin, Campus Council president. “That’s probably true, but I think the major problems are that people are less willing to take charge of their social lives and want to have parties. Someone actually has to host those parties,” he said.

Davison Council, GPSC to work more closely together

By MARGAUX KANIS The Chronicle

Student leaders in both the School of Medicine and the overall graduate and professional school community are searching together for ways to bridge a long-standing systemic divide between two student governing bodies.

Michael Bernstein, a medical student and Graduate and Professional School Council representative, said the conflict that emerges for active medical stu-

dents is whether to look for a leadership in the Davison Council—the medical school’s student body—with more immediate effect on medical student issues, or in GPSC, which takes a necessarily broader approach to graduate and professional students concerns in general.

“Anyone with such a strong passion to become involved will run for Davison Council, not GPSC,” said Bernstein. “This is what creates the so-called division.”

He added that because many second-year medical

students are involved with clinical rotations, they become less involved with medical student governance issues and so third-year students often lack the experience to run for leadership positions within either council, especially in GPSC. Bill Wood, another medical school representative to GPSC and former president of the Davison Council, still believes a good relationship exists between See MED STUDENTS on page 9

Man steals purse from lady

When a visitor was at the PRT lobby of parking garage 2 near the vending machines across from the Medical Center Traffic Office around 1:39 p.m. Nov. 6, she said she observed a subject approaching her as she was walking with the assistance of her walker which has a basket on it, with her purse in the basket.

She did not let go of the purse and he dragged her six to eight feet across the floor. She finally let go of the purse and he ran off with it. She gave chase but he was able to get away with the purse.

One of the victim’s friends jumped into the window as the male was driving away. He grabbed the male by the neck and was dragged a few feet before letting go. He suffered minor scrapes to his foot and elbow, but refused medical treatment. The following items were stolen; a $l6O skateboard, $6O cash and a credit card.

sniper case

By JAYSON BLAIR

New York Times News Service

Evidence that WASHINGTON John Lee Malvo, the younger ofthe two men charged in the Washington-area

sniper shootings, was the gunman in most of the attacks could complicate the case against the other suspect, John Allen Muhammad, senior law enforcement officials said Sunday.

Defense lawyers for Malvo, 17, have statements their client made late last week to the police in Fairfax County, Va. Lawyers close to both men’s defense teams said that those statements could be used to help Muhammad, 41, in Prince William County, Va., where he has been charged with murder and terrorism.

“There is some concern that the juvenile’s statements could be used as exculpatory evidence to clear Muhammad of being the gunman in Prince William,” one local law enforcement official said Sunday.

Scientists study sickle-cell pain

By WARREN LEARY

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The painful episodes, suffered by people with sickle cell disease, appear to be caused by excess hemoglobin in the blood from damaged red blood cells, researchers say.

Studies found that the hemoglobin rapidly destroyed nitric oxide, a gas known to relax blood vessels and contribute to good circulation, said the report, to be published in Monday’s issue of the journal Nature Medicine.

The destruction of nitric oxide begins a cascade of events leading to constricted blood vessels, high blood pressure in the lungs and the restricted flow of oxygen and nutrients to vital tissues and organs. This causes the episodes of intense pain, known as crises, experienced by sickle cell patients, said the researchers, most of them from the National Institutes of Health.

The scientists said the findings pointed to new approaches that might cancel the hemoglobin effect and relieve some of the suffering, which some patients say is more agonizing than the pain of childbirth or terminal cancer.

“We think this is an important mechanism leading to the painful symptoms of sickle cell disease and, perhaps, other conditions that involve damaged red cells,” said the National Institute ofDiabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases’s lead researcher, Mark Glawdin. “But more work is needed to prove it.”

Robert Hebbel of the University of Minnesota, a sickle cell blood researcher not connected with the study, said the work—once confirmed—might help explain some of the pathology of the disease.

“This is an important observation, one that resonates as making sense,” Hebbel said.

Jack Lancaster of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, another prominent researcher in the field, called the study “a beautiful piece of analysis” that has direct therapeutic implications.

Sickle cell disease is in a family of inherited blood disorders caused by a flaw in the gene that makes hemoglobin, the component of red blood cells that carries oxygen. When low on oxygen, this flawed hemoglobin causes blood cells' to stiffen and contort into jagged sickle shapes. These distorted cells block small blood vessels and cause vascular inflammation and other changes that interfere with blood flow.

The disease afflicts millions worldwide, primarily

those with ancestors from Africa, the Mediterranean and India. In this country, an estimated 80,000 people, mostly African-Americans and people from the Caribbean, have the disease.

Gladwin said the new work connected several facts already known about the disease, including that the distortion of red blood cells into sickle shapes destabilizes their membranes and prematurely destroys 10 percent of a patient’s total red cells each day, causing anemia. Rates of red cell disruption rise even higher during crises, he said.

This cell destruction dumps cellular hemoglobin into the bloodstream, a phenomenon that took on new importance as researchers started paying more attention to the role of nitric oxide in the body. It has been known for decades that hemoglobin is a potent scavenger of nitric oxide and a constrictor of blood vessels, experts said. Laboratory work more than a decade ago showed that free hemoglobin in solutions destroyed nitric oxide 1,000 times as fast as hemoglobin confined in blood cells.

Nitric oxide, a short-lived gas produced by cells lining the blood vessels, is now known to be a primary regulator of blood flow, Gladwin said. Among other things, it prevents the aggregation of platelet cells that promote clotting, and it protects cell membranes.

The gas is also a major part of the system to protect the body from excess hemoglobin.

In the latest study, the researchers tested blood from 27 sickle cell patients and 28 healthy volunteers and found that plasma from the patients rapidly inactivated nitric oxide. When free hemoglobin was removed in j;he laboratory, the plasma consumption of nitric oxide fell to nearly normal levels, the researchers found. They concluded that excess hemoglobin in the blood of sickle cell patients quickly overwhelmed the body’s system for neutralizing it.

MIDTERMS from page 1 “Voters didn’t feel badly enough about the economy to punish [President George W.] Bush’s party,” he said.

“The security situation felt more frightful than what they were feeling economically.”

Brown added that the sniper attacks captivated the nation’s attention, creating an incredibly distracted audience for an already hazy Democratic campaign.

The Republicans did not encounter the same problem, he said, because there is guaranteed coverage whenever the president goes on the road, which is precisely what Bush did right up until the elections.

Like Brown and Harwood, Brownstein attributed Republicans’ success to factors unrelated to an ideological shift toward the right. For instance, the depth of Bush popularity and the intensity of his supporters drew more Republicans to the polls than in recent years, he said.

that approval into bodies getting off the couch, turning off the TV and walking into the polling place.”

The panelists agreed that the midterm elections do not guarantee a second term for Bush.

“It’s like eating Chinese food,” Brown said. “It’s not satisfying for very long.”

The audience responded to many of Saturday’s comments with laughter as the panelists conducted a relatively informal discussion. Sophomore Philip Kurian said he was glad he made it out to Sanford on a Saturday afternoon. “It was really interesting to get the perspective of a journalist who is out there every day, and of academics who were clearly very knowledgeable about the subject,” he said.

Senior Chris Chandler also said he enjoyed the event—the annual John Fisher Zeidman Memorial Colloquium on Communications —but wished the panelists had elaborated on the consequences of last week’s elections. “I really got a feel for why the country voted how it did, but I was really interested in getting more [analysis] about what impact it will all have on the future,” he said.

“What would a truly co-educational institution look like?” Keohane asked the audience. “It is exhilarating to envision such a place. It would be a world in which gender and sex do not spill over into every avenue of life. Gender does matter greatly, and we will not bring about a better world unless we recognize that fact and deal with it.”

In her keynote address at the kickoff plenary session in Baldwin Auditorium Keohane praised the Woman’s College and those instrumental in its administration for playing a significant role in promoting educational eq-

Field hockey drops ACC semis to Wake Forest Duke must now wait for Tuesday’s NCAA tournament selection to see if season continBy JAKE POSES The Chronicle

The field hockey team fell Friday to No. 1 seed Wake Forest 2-1 in the semifinals of the ACC tournament at Williams Field Friday night.

The Blue Devils came in with confidence following Thursday’s victory over Virginia, but failed to counter two second half goals by the Demon Deacons.

Ranked third nationally, Wake Forest went on to win the tournament, shutting out Maryland 4-0 Sunday.

While they know that a few different bounces could have yielded a different outcome, the Blue Devils were proud of their play and displayed only limited disappointment about the loss.

“Overall I thought the team effort was great,” head coach Liz Tchou said.

After a scoreless first half that saw six total shots on goal, sophomore Chrissie Murphy gave Duke a 1-0 advantage when she slammed a shot from three feet out into the left side of the net during the first minute of the second period. Johanna Bischof assisted on the goal after her pass skimmed off Wake Forest’s keeper and bounced right to Murphy.

The Demon Deacons evened the match midway through the period when Ariel Meyers connected on a Maria Whitehead pass. The shot rattled past a diving Christy Morgan.

With 10 minutes remaining in regulation, Wake Forest’s Kelly Dostal scored what was ultimately the winning goal off a penalty corner. The play developed quickly, and Morgan was barely able to see a low shot into

the right corner of the net.

The match up was a defensive struggle, a change for Duke following the previous day’s 5-2 victory over Virginia.

Specifically, Wake Forest focused on shutting down Duke’s biggest scoring

threat, freshman Katie Grant.

Grant was coming off a huge threegoal, two-assist effort against Virginia. The freshman talent had a few runs during the first half but, facing double and triple coverage, was not able to get off a shot. Grant was named ACC Rookie of the Year and—along with sophomore Suzanne Simpson—a member of the All-Tournament team Sunday.

“She is just a solid player,” Wake Forest head coach Jennifer Averill said about Grant. ‘We knew the moves. I’ve had enough nightmares about her. You are either going to take a tranquilizer or throw another cover back there.

“I felt both teams did a really good job of clogging the midfield so that you didn’t get too many breaks,” Averill said.

Like Averill, Tchou was happy with Duke’s defensive effort. She felt like goals were just as much a result of failure to stop the ball in the midfield as they were defensive mistakes.

“They are a strong team,” Tchou said.

“You can’t really hold them. We just made a few defensive mistakes.”

Both squads left more players than usual on defense and consequently had trouble threading the ball through the midfield. The Demon Deacons countered Duke’s defensive game plan, leaving extra players in the backfield to prevent a long pass and quick score by the Blue Devils.

Despite loss, once ailing field hockey program now respected among nation’s elite The play was eerily similar.

Katie Grant, the Blue Devils freshman forward, the team leader in points and the ACC rookie of the year, was streaking with the ball down the right side of the field in the first half Saturday night against Wake Forest in the ACC semifinals.

After practicing this action over and over Wednesday—she had made this run five times in the previous game against Virginia, scoring each time en route to setting the tournament record for most points in a single contest—Grant beat the last Wake Forest defender and shot the ball. The shot hit the goalie, who had rushed Grant and taken away her angle, in the leg and rolled out ofbounds.

The first time around, the Cavahers had no answer for Grant.

This contest, the Demon Deacons were ready for her.

No goal, no assist, nothing.

“She’s just a solid player,” Demon _

Deacon head coach Jennifer Averill f said. “We knew the moves... There’s Jesse a reason we’ve been to this campus 10 times in the last two weeks. They

Colvin

are just an awesome team.”

That play made a statement. Wake Forest blanketed Grant all game, doubling and even tripleteaming her at times. The Blue Devil offense struggled for most of the first half, as the Demon Deacons controlled play. With the exception of Grant’s two runs—she had another chance later but her pass across the goalmouth was cleared out —Duke did not have any serious scoring chances. Wake Forest was not dominating Duke, but it was definite that they had the momentum.

Coming out of half-time, however, the Blue Dev-

ils responded.

JOHANNA BISCHOF was one of the team’s offensive leaders during the course of the season.

Less than minute into the second half, sophomore Chrissie Murphy finished off a Johanna Bischof cross that had deflected off the Demon in the goal. Just like that, Duke was up a point.

Indeed, after Duke’s goal, Wake Forest charged back. Despite the extra Blue Devil defender in the back—Duke played four defenders throughout the game instead of the usual three—the Demon Deacons were able to send a through-ball past the Duke line of defense and score.

“The momentum shifts throughout the game, and I thought we had the upper hand in the first half,” Blue Devil head coach Liz Tchou said. “[ln the] second half there was a period of 10 minutes or so [when] Wake Forest came at us, and I was wanting to call a time-out at that point they had scored a goal.”

A few minutes later, the Deacons scored off a penalty comer to end the scoring at 2-1.

Wake Forest had beaten a team that had put together a full game of inspired hockey.

“I felt more in the last four games like a team, like a unit, than I have all season or with any team I’ve ever played with,” junior defender Kim Gogola said. “And when you have a unit and you have so much confidence in each other and you know that everyone is going to go out and play for each other, it’s really exciting. I knew it was going to be a battle, and I thought it was a great game.”

After the game, the Duke players and coaches were disappointed but proud, while the Demon Deacons were happy to come away with a win.

The Blue Devils did not express frustration, understanding that this was not their only chance to win an ACC tournament.

After the game, there was a feeling similar to the mutual respect boxers show after wailing away on each other for 15 rounds en route to a -

disputed decision.

In the end, as frustrating as defeated may have been for the Duke squad, it was unimportant that it lost.

Instead, after many years of disappointing losses and first round conference-tournament exits, it was both important and clear that Duke field hockey had the respect of its peers.

Streaking Blue Devils drop Ist contest in 4 tries Women’s soccer falls in semifinals of ACC tournament, now waits for NCAA selecBy GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

Clemson Duke

2 The women’s soccer team (9-9-2) ended its 1 three-game winning

streak and ruined any chance for an ACC tournament championship with a 2-0 loss to Clemson (14-6-0) Friday. Continuing play in this weekend’s tournament at the Florida State Seminole Soc-

cer Complex, the Tigers scored two goals in the final period for their second consecutive victory over the Blue Devils this season.

“We played well tonight,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “The first goal is always key. We had our opportunities, and we had a lot of shots. We just did not capitalize on them.”

Clemson got on the board in the

THORA HELGADOTTIR and the women’s team were halted in their tracks by the Tigers,

53rd minute of the match when freshman Lydia Vandenbergh served the ball in the box for teammate Lindsay Browne. After timing the play perfectly, Browne headed the ball past Duke goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Church thought the match’s first score was crucial for both teams.

“Like in every game, the first goal is so important,” Church said. “We got a little tentative on their first goal and they took advantage of that. We didn’t pressure the ball tight enough or do a good job of marking in the box.”

Helgadottir, a first-team All-ACC selection, was once again incredible in goal for the Blue Devils, making six saves on 20 shots from the Tigers. Despite her superb play in net, the Blue Devil defense could not stop Clemson’s second goal, as Church moved one player forward in order to create more offensive opportunities.

His decision backfired in the 79th minute when ACC Player of the Year Deliah Arrington netted her 17th goal of the year.

Midfielder Allison Mitchell fed Arrington a ball up the middle as she sprinted past Duke defenders and beat the Blue Devil netminder one-on-one.

“We started to change our formation when they got the second goal,” Church said. “We took numbers out of the back and put them forward to try and tie the game. It was do-or-die. We didn’t care if we lost by one goal or if we lost by four goals.”

The Blue Devils had their chances on the offensive end, compiling 22 shots in the match.

Similar to many previous games, the Blue Devils could not finish their

opportunities on the offensive end of the field. Tigers’ goalie Lauren Heos, a second-team All-ACC goalkeeper, had nine saves in the match on 22 shots by the Blue Devils.

Helgadottir thought the game was well-played by both schools.

“It was a good game,” she said.

“There were a lot of shots for both teams. It just was not our day. It was Clemson’s day today.”

After a pivotal tie at North Carolina earlier in the season propelled Duke to three consecutive wins, the Blue Devils find themselves with a .500 record.

Since Duke was the only team to receive an at-large bid with a record under .500 last year, the NCAA decided to change the rule this season disallowing teams with a losing record to compete in the tournament.

The Blue Devils will barely be eligible for an at-large bid with a 9-9-2 record on the year. The selection committee will decide the pairings for the competition which begins next week.

Based on key wins over Tennessee, Florida and Virginia Church is confident his team deserves a bid but he will have to wait until Monday afternoon when the brackets are released.

“There’s no question in my mind and other people’s minds that I’ve talked to that think we deserve a bid,” Church said. “I’m fairly confident we’ll get one but we’ll see what happens.”

McCain beat in semis of National Indoor Champ Teammate Saras Arasu topped fellow Blue Devil Katie Blaszak to win Arizona State tourBy CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle Women’s tennis star Kelly McCain may have just missed a chance to become the first women’s tennis player in school history to win two collegiate grand slams in a single season, but the sophomore nevertheless had a strong showing at the Omni Hotels National Indoor Championships in Dallas, Texas.

McCain, who earned the No. 1 seed in the elite 32-player field by virtue of her undefeated fall season and her victory at the Riviera All-American tournament in October, fell 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals to No. 3 seed and eventual champion Agata Cioroch of Georgia.

Cioroch’s victory marked a reversal from their last meeting at Riviera, when McCain came away with 6-4, 6-1 victory en route to the title.

“Agata was serving well in tournament, and it helped against McCain, who uses the whole court,” Georgia assistant coach Debbis Beck said. “Agata moved well and was very solid from the baseline. She controlled play with her forehand and was mentally tough on

quarterfinals.

McCain was the only Blue Devil to compete at the National Indoors, although Amanda Johnson received an atlarge bid, but had to withdraw because of a knee injury.

Several other players saw action at the Arizona State Thunderbird Invitational, and, in a surprising all-Duke final, third-seeded sophomore Saras Arasu defeated eight-seeded teammate Katie Blaszak in 7-5, 6-3.

Blaszak, a transfer from Vanderbilt, entered the tournament ranked 87th nationally, but was able to knock off No. 49 Jieun Jacobs of California and No. 21 Dora Krstulovic of Arizona State before falling to Arasu.

Arasu, ranked 47th nationally, had the biggest upset of the tournament, defeating hometown favorite and ninth-ranked Adria Engel of Arizona State, 7-5, 6-4.

Arasu also haunted Engel in doubles, as she and sophomore Susie Abromeit upset Arizona State’s third-ranked duo of Engel and Krstulovic before falling in the finals. big points.”

NFL Uodate i From wire reports 34 PITTSBURGH Falcons Outstanding perforSteelers 34 mances by Tommy Maddox and Michael Vick, combined with two blocked field goals in overtime, resulted in the 16th tie in NFL history and the first in five years.

Vick rallied Atlanta from 17 points down in the fourth quarter, and the Falcons withstood Maddox’s franchiserecord 473 yards passing to tie Pittsburgh 34-34 Sunday.

After Pittsburgh’s Todd Peterson and Atlanta’s Jay Feely had overtime

field-goal attempts blocked, Pittsburgh still nearly won it. With only one second on the clock, Maddox lofted a 50-yard pass that Plaxico Burress caught at the Falcons one-yard line.

Half of Burress’ body was in the end zone, but the ball was not, and the Steelers did not have enough time to run another play.

It was the NFL’s first tie since the Giants and Redskins played to a 7-all stalemate on Nov. 23,1997. Pittsburgh’s last tie was 35-all against Denver in 1974, and Atlanta hadn’t tied since a 2020 game against the Rams in 1971, long before the NFL went to overtime.

Maddox was 28-of-41 for 473 yards, easily breaking Bobby Layne’s 1958 club record of 409 yards. Burress made nine catches for a team-record 253 yards and two touchdowns, but Pittsburgh still couldn’t hold a 34-17 lead in the fourth quarter.

Both teams remained unbeaten in their last five games and are 5-3-1.

Rams 28, Chargers 24

ST. LOUIS

The Rams lost four

fumbles—two of which were returned for touchdowns—but used two late touchdowns and a successful onside kick to defeat San Diego and win their fourth straight game.

St. Louis (4-5) was led by Marc Bulger’s 453 yards passing—the fourth-most in franchise history—and Isaac Bruce, who lost two of the fumbles but caught three touchdown passes, including the sevenyard game-winner with 1:14 to play.

Bulger and Pittsburgh’s Tommy Maddox became the first pair of NFL quarterbacks to throw for 450 yards in the league on the same day.

Bruce also caught TD passes of 27 and 34 yards, the latter an acrobatic grab that cut the Chargers’ lead to 2421 with 3:06 to go. He finished with 10 catches for 163 yards.

Having burned all three timeouts in the third quarter, the Rams were forced to try an onside kick, and Dre’ Bly recovered at the St. Louis 46 to set up the winning score.

Giants 27, Vikings 20

MINNEAPOLIS Kerry Collins threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns and Tiki Barber ran for 127 yards on 24 carries to lead the Giants.

New York (5-4) moved within a game of first-place Philadelphia in the NFC East. The Vikings are 2-7 for the first time since 1984.

Daunte Culpepper was pulled for Todd Bouman in the third quarter, and Bouman nearly rallied the Vikings.

Culpepper was just 9-for-20 for 91 yards.

Michael Bennett rushed 15 times for a career-high 167 yards, his third straight 100-yard game.

He scored on a 78-yard burst through the line that gave Minnesota its first lead, 20-19 with 8:36 remaining.

Colts 35, Eagles 13

PHILADELPHIA Peyton Manning threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, and James Mungro ran for 114 yards and two TDs, leading the Colts past the Eagles.

The Colts (5-4) snapped a three-game losing streak. Philadelphia (6-3) had won three straight.

Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy, in his first season with the Colts after six in Tampa Bay, lost playoff games to the Eagles at the Vet the last two seasons.

He was fired two days after Philadelphia beat the Buccaneers 31-9 in an NFC wild-card game last January.

Mungro, making his first career start because Edgerrin James and Ricky Williams are out with hamstring injuries, had TD runs of six and 10 yards.

Marvin Harrison finished with six catches for 137 yards.

Donovan McNabb threw for 281 yards and one TD and ran for 62 yards, but he dropped a pass on a critical fourth-and-one in the third quarter and also lost a fumble.

Packers 40, Lions 14

GREEN BAY, Wis. Brett Favre’s sprained left knee gave him no problems in his second start since getting hurt, as he threw for 351 yards and two

touchdowns.

The Packers improved their NFL-

best record to 8-1 while taking a fivegame lead over second-place Detroit (36) in the NFC North.

Ahman Green (12 carries for 50 yards) didn’t play after halftime with a mild concussion. Najeh Davenport gained 73 yards in 10 carries before hurting his ankle in the third quarter.

Favre had 295 yards passing by halftime and was taken out in the third quarter.

Donald Driver caught 11 passes for 130 yards, and Ryan Longwell kicked four field goals in Green Bay’s seventh straight victory—their longest streak in the regular season since 1963.

Saints 34, Panthers 24

CHARLOTTE

Aaron Brooks threw

a seven-yard touchdown pass to Donte Stallworth with 31 seconds to play Sun-

day, and Charles Grant returned Rodney Peete’s fumble 34 yards on the final play to preserve the Saints’ victory.

The Saints are 7-2, their best start since 1992, and have won five straight over Carolina.

The Panthers (3-6) dropped their sixth straight game. Five of the losses have come in the final four minutes.

Bolstered by the return of Peete—he missed two games with a knee injury—the Panthers took a late 24-20 lead on his 15-yard touchdown pass to Wesley Walls with 3:31 to play.

Titans 17, Texans 10

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Steve McNair threw for two touchdowns, and Eddie George rushed for 86 yards as Tennessee defeated the Texans in the firstever meeting between Houston’s current and former teams.

At least the Texans (2-7) signaled that this might soon become an interesting rivalry, as David Carr threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jarrod Baxter with 3:05 left. The Titans (5-4) did not seal the victory until Lance Schulters intercepted Carr’s pass at the Tennessee 46 with 1:11 left.

It was the fourth straight victory

Ravens 38, Bengals 27

BALTIMORE Adalius Thomas returned an interception 25 yards for a touchdown, and rookie Lament Brightful scored on a 95-yard punt return in Baltimore’s victory.

Brightful also returned a kickoff 54 yards to help the Ravens boost their lead to 24-14 at halftime.

Jamal Lewis ran for 135 yards and two touchdowns as the Ravens (4-5) snapped a two-game losing streak and denied Cincinnati a second straight victory.

Patriots 33, Bears 30 Tom Brady hit CHAMPAIGN, HI. David Patten on a 20-yard TD pass with 21 seconds left—on a play that was upheld by video review—and the Patriots overcame a 27-6 second-half deficit to win.

The Bears’ seventh straight loss was one they will never forget. Twice in the final minute, video replays did not go their way in a wild and disheartening finish Chicago (2-7) took a 30-19 lead with 5:22 left on Paul Edinger’s 32-yard field goal, and the Bears thought they had stopped New England’s final drive when defensive lineman Brian Robinson stepped in front of Brady’s pass with just under a minute left for an apparent interception.

But Robinson juggled the ball as he was going down before losing it. Officials initially ruled that he would intercepted the pass and fumbled before teammate Rosevelt Colvin recovered for the Bears.

But officials reviewed the play and said Robinson never had possession, resulting in an incomplete pass. That gave the Patriots one final chance with a fourth down at the Bears 30 with 54 seconds to go.

Brady completed 36 of 55 passes for 328 yards for New England (5-4).

Jaguars 26, Redskins 7

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

Outplayed

the Washington Redskins lost Steve

Spurrier’s homecoming,

Mark Brunell threw for 194 yards, and Fred Taylor ran for 82 yards and a touchdown to help the Jaguars (4-5) snap a four-game losing streak.

It was a victory Jacksonville coach Tom Coughlin dearly needed—in a matchup against the guy many in Jacksonville felt should have gotten his job after last season.

The Redskins (4-5) saw their twogame winning streak snapped. Shane Matthews directed a 77-yard touchdown drive to open the game, but Washington did not score again.

Matthews finished 27-for-51 for 256 yards with two interceptions.

VOLLEYBALL from page 3 day], but we’re very capable of being successful against them,” Nagel said.

Beyond impressive Carolina power attacks, fueled by outside hitters Molly Pyles and Laura Greene, Friday night’s match was marked mostly by Duke errors. After falling to the Tar Heels in the first game, the frazzled Blue Devils canceled their kills with attack errors, leaving Duke with a hitting percentage of 0.00.

By keeping it close in the third game, the Blue Devils 3-0 loss to Carolina was unlike most shut-outs.

Duke was leading 25-22 before ultimately succumbing 30-28. Blue Devil Jill Sonne made three crucial blocks against Carolina power-hitter Greene, they were then echoed by teammate

Katie Gilman whose two consecutive blocks brought the game to 27 all.

Still, Duke came up short and lost on a kill by Pyles.

“We waited too long to come up,” Gillman said. “We have to come up from the beginning and be aggressive throughout the whole game... We’re going to use this as motivation for tomorrow night.”

Duke still has to face Clemson and Georgia Tech before the ACC Championships in Atlanta. The results this weekend have clearly laid out the team’s strengths and its weaknesses, and the team feels the upcoming games will undoubtedly be hard fought with unparalleled determination.

“We need to go into each game with motivation, and practice with purpose,” Sonne said. “We still haven’t reached bur goal, yet.”

Bernstein said that although GPSC is useful to medical students for finding professional contacts and developing relationships with other graduate students, many issues that GPSC considers—such as tuition, campus parking, stipends, teacher as sistant positions and research funding—have no relevance to medical students. “[Furthermore,] what Davison does is of no help to the majority of the graduate students,” he added. “I have no doubt that GPSC would han-

:

dle an issue of ours if necessary, but

there are very few that are of their concern.”

Wood pointed to the co-sponsorship of a new undergraduate mentoring program, designed to provide informal advising to undergraduates interested in graduate or professional study. “It’s rare that we are working together on a program of this magnitude, especially one that is academic,” he said.

“Normally, we just provide [representatives! from our council like the business or law schools.”

Bernstein added that among his goals as a GPSC representative this year also include implementing informal social and service events together.

RESOLUTION

from page 2

deal with all those demonstrators from Los Angeles to the Far East and the Arab countries.”

“This resolution was for the immediate effect,” he said. “It avoided an inevitable strike against Iraq.”

Iraq’s government controlled newspapers started out calling the U.N. Security Council resolution 1441, on disarmament of Iraq, “bad and unfair.” But by Sunday, officials and the news media were hailing it as an international effort to thwart the American desire for war.

Although Iraq has until Nov. 15 to declare that it intends to comply fully with the terms of the resolution, Sabri noted that Iraq had agreed to renewed inspections previously and thought there was no need to alter the U.N. guidelines about the way they worked.

“The problem is that we need experts who work in a professional, objective way,” Sabri said, adding that, as the Arab League communique noted, the new inspection teams should not “try to provoke or incite clashes as they have previously.”

Sabri said that if inspectors worked that way, they would expose the “great lie” promulgated by the United States. “It is the lie about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,” he said.

The Arab League resolution also restated the long-stand-

m frubiii

ing Arab position that Iraq must work with the U.N. inspectors, and emphasized that only the Security Council should evaluate the reports from the inspectors.

Such cooperation should lead to the lifting of sanctions against Iraq since it invaded Kuwait in 1990, the League said, adding that ordinary Iraqis had suffered because of the sanctions.

In addition, the League proposed that the United Nations pay equal attention to Israel’s weapons of mass destruction and stressed that Arab League members were committed both to maintaining Iraq as a united country and to maintaining the stability of all Arab countries.

“They reiterate the absolute Arab rejection to striking Iraq and consider it a threat to the national security of all Arab countries,” it said.

Although an Arab League meeting in Beirut last March issued a statement that an attack on Iraq would be considered an attack on all Arab countries, commentators dismissed that as empty posturing.

The underlying concern remains that any such conflict will rearrange the existing relations both among countries in the region and between those countries and the United States.

The official Iraqi news agency reported Sunday that Sabri, the Iraqi foreign minister, had sought assurances from the Arab governments that they would take specific steps in the event of an attack.

THETA CHI from page 1

Jared Bryant, a sophomore in Theta Chi, agreed.

“Losing housing or losing a pledge class will eventually lead to us dissolving,” said sophomore Elias Parisca, a Theta Chi brother, adding that the loss of a pledge class would take a year of membership out of their fraternity, and the removal of their residential space would eliminate the fraternity’s campus presence.

Others said brothers support different decisions depending on their year.

Many seniors, for example, said they might be more willing to dissolve as they already choose to party in Chapel Hill bars or in off-campus houses.

“As... seniors, [dissolving is] an option we’re considering,” DiPietro said.

“When [the administration] figures out our punishment, we will make a decision to either comply [with what the University mandates] or dissolve.”

Theta Chi President Joel Yancey de-

can’t continue the way you want to operate,” he said.

Some fraternity members said the administration has even discouraged Theta Chi from dissolving.

“They tell us they don’t want us to dissolve because they’re supposed to be supporting greek life,” DiPietro said.

The brothers said they are unaware of Theta Chi’s official standing and how they are recognized by the University—suspended or on probation.

They noted that they cannot decide on their future plans until they hear back from University officials.

“Basically we’re going to wait and see what the administration says,” Fong said. “The administration tends to work a little slowly. We don’t know what they’re going to do with u5....

We’re kind of in the dark right now

clined to comment, and said the fraternity had no official comment.

Sophomore Andrew Fong, also a member of Theta Chi, said he is frustrated because he cannot take advantage of everything that fraternities are normally allowed to do and said he wants Theta Chi to have all the privileges of being a fraternity.

“Personally I would like to avoid [dissolution],” he said. “I want to come back in five or 10 years and have a section to visit. We’re not going to let Kappa Sig’s [decision] influence us in any way.”

TUTORING from page 3 not form sentences well and yet they are patient with me,” said Li Mei Zeng, speaking in Mandarin. Zeng came to North Carolina from China two years ago to look for a job and for the chance to give her son a “good education.”

“I’ve made many friends too,” she added. “A few weeks ago, they invited me to visit Duke. Your school is so beautiful.”

Freshman Jules Bruno said although the immigrants are diligent and enthusiastic, the tutoring requires

concentration and dedication.

“I was teaching a lady how to bake a cake. I could not understand what she was saying and she had to resort to hand gestures,” he said. “Later, I realized she was telling me about kneading the dough.”

Bruno said he hopes to inspire them to love the language, and at the same time, teach them something about his culture.

president for facilities and athletics.

Troy Clair, DSG vice president for student affairs, said he and Bill Burig, assistant dean of residence life, are creating a memo to encourage residents to increase visibility by turning on their patio lights.

Rob Saunders, Graduate and Professional Students Council president, recommended increased lighting in parking lots along Science Drive, his group’s route. Another concern was potential pedestrian accidents on Frank

“Dissolving is conceding defeat. You

and hoping for the best.

Interfraternity Council President Jeremy Morgan said Theta Chi differed from Kappa Sig and also recently-dissolved Sigma Alpha Epsilon because it is in trouble with the University for its repeated violations—not with nationals or alumni.

“This was a small thing, but it was really the last straw,” Morgan said. “[University officials! want to know why this continues to happen.”

Todd Adams, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, wrote in an e-mail that he has no information regarding Theta Chi. ”

“It’s a give and take situation,” said freshman Emily Antoon. “I learned how to say Tm a student at Duke,’ and the immigrants were interested about where I’m from. We make some really awesome connections despite the language barrier.”

She added that while she has tutored kids in English before, this was a totally different experience as these English-learners were old enough to be her aunt or uncle. Although most of the immigrants are in their 40s, their teenage children also get tutored.

Global Grasp is planning to continue the program next semester, and is also looking into reviving the World Club, a refugee-mentoring program for refugee high school students in the Triangle.

Wat said that the group has been really blessed with the tutors they have now.

“We continue to look for Duke tutors who are enthusiastic, open-minded and who want to work with people from other cultures,” she said.

Bassett Drive, which Saunders described as a narrow street with no pedestrian paths.

On East, walkers examined the campus periphery and jogging path and noticed trees covering emergency lights behind dormitories. They also recommended installing lights on the path between the White Lecture Hall and Epworth Dormitory.

Students can help increase safety on campus by notifying their resident advisors if they notice any lights burnt

out for more than a week, said Aurel

Selezeanu, assistant director ofelectrical services.

the fraternity increase dues to $3OO per member per month to cover higher insurance premiums; pay a $2,500 fine for any subsequent alcohol violations; lock the commons room indefinitely; create a campus group for students opposed to alcohol; and attend district and national fraternity meetings.

Adding to the fraternity’s difficulties, any event with four or more Kappa Sig members in attendance would be considered a Kappa Sig event, making any off-campus events with alcohol illegal as well.

After a two-hour meeting Saturday in which members discussed the implications of those restrictions, members voted nearly unanimously to disassociate from the national fraternity and the University’s Interfratemity Council. They notified their nationals and the University Sunday of their decision.

“This was not an easy decision to make, but we all felt it was the right thing to do in light ofthe way University and national fraternities seem to be heading,” said Adams, a junior. “We felt we could no longer rush kids- or want to rush kids under those sanctions—they compromised what we were as a group.”

Kappa Sig Vice President Mark Boyd added that he saw a common theme in the deactivation of three fraternities in the past three years—also including Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon—and he suspected more will follow suit this year. “I can’t tell if the University is trying to get people like us off-campus or just get rid of us,” said Boyd, a junior.“They need to be frank with u5.... In my dealings with [Assistant Dean of Students Todd Adams], I have found him to be pretty duplicitous, with an agenda contrary to our own.”

Todd Adams could not be reached for comment.

Like SAE, which dissolved last January after facing similar pressures and restrictions from its nationals, Kappa Sig hopes to rush a pledge class informally this spring. Kappa Sig members said they would like to meet with leaders of SAE—which reined in 21 pledges after announcing its deactivation last spring—about

Man trespassed from campus

rushing as an off-campus fraternity.

“What we did probably made their decision much easier because we proved we can have successful events off-campus without having a section or recognition from the University,” former SAE president Will Brown said. “It really helps us a lot too, especially with rush so that the freshmen can see being an off-campus fraternity is not just something we had to do last year but rather a continual issue.”

Brown, a senior, added he would be interested in meeting with Kappa Sig leaders to discuss a rush plan for off-campus fraternities. Phi Psi —which did not rush a pledge class last year but took in more than 30 new members in spring 2001 when the University disbanded the group—would likely not partake in such discussions, former Phi Psi president Peter Meriachem said.

Without the infrastructure of IFC, both groups will face challenges in the rush process, said IFC President Jeremy Morgan.

“I think there is a changing tone where groups think they can make it without IFC recognition,” said Morgan, a senior. Unlike Boyd, however, Morgan did not expect more groups to share Kappa Big’s fate this year.

Despite the move, Kappa Sig still plans to hold weekly meetings and host social events. “The negative side ofthis is that we parted with 130 years of tradition at this school,” Boyd said. “The positive thing is that nothing has really changed.”

A Duke University Police officerresponded to Duke Hospital North in reference to a suspicious person in the lobby Nov. 4 at 9:56 p.m. Subsequent investigation resulted in Wilford Eastwood being charged with trespassing. His court date is set for Dec. 17.

It was discovered Eastwood had an active warrant for failure to appear on an indecent exposure charge from the Pitt County Sheriff Department, and he now is being held in the Durham County Jail. He could not be reached for comment.

A student reported that around 6 a.m. Nov. 9, as she was sleeping in her unlocked room in House M, an intoxicated white male in his 20s entered her room, pulled the covers off her bed and laid down on the floor.

The male said he entered the wrong room and was from James Madison University and was visiting a Duke student.

The girl was not harmed. Investigation continues in this case to determine if the victim wishes to press criminal charges.

Letters to the

Diversity at Duke should be an outcome, not a goal

An equal education

This

weekend, the University commemorated the 30th

anniversary of the merger of the Woman’s College and

Trinity College, providing the Duke community an opportunity to reflect upon the progress toward gender equity that has been made at the University and the work that remains to be done in order to ensure equity between the sexes.

During its 42-year existence, the Woman’s College provided women with an opportunity to attain an excellent higher education at a time wThen many top institutions did not provide avenues 1 for women’s education. This was provided for by a visionary bequest from Washington B. Duke, who recognized the need for female education.

The 1972 merger ofTrinity College and the Woman’s College has obviously led to huge benefits for women and men, giving women an equal footing with men and placing them in direct competition with one another, showing that women are every bit as capable as men.

Additionally, the social benefits of men and women not only taking classes but also living together far outweigh the potential benefits from single-sex education.

Equally as important as the educational opportunities that the Woman’s College provided were the extracurricular and leadership positions that the separate administrative structure allowed women to hold.

One negative aspect of the merger between the Woman’s College and Trinity College is that it may have deprived women of the opportunity to serve in leadership positions that, to this day, are still dominated by men. Although women have made tremendous strides towards equality, with some recent Duke Student Government presidents being female, for example, there is still more work to do in order to balance the field between men and women and their access to leadership roles.

Additionally, as President Nan Keohane pointed out in her opening speech for the celebration Saturday morning, integrating men and women has placed new pressures on women such as sexual pressures and pressures about how women should look and what fields they should enter into.

These types ofproblems must be addressed by the University community today. Thirty years ago, Duke took a large step toward gender equity by merging the Woman’s College with the formerly all-male Trinity College.

Today, the University and Keohane are trying to take a similar step by refocusing the community’s attention open issues of the importance gender through Duke Inquiries on Gender and other efforts of the president and her deans. ,

sents a balance between these two sets of criteria.

This approach is not without precedent. After all, physics departments don’t just hire any old physicist, they look for someone whose area of interest and professional links to other department members will make him or her a valuable contributor to the work of the department as a whole. But these other criteria usually have some relation to physics and they are usually defended explicitly and specifically.

Unfortunately, our current preferential hiring policies are rarely defended in this way.

The usual tactic is to hold up “diversity” as a self-evident

Look first at strategy two, hiring for diversity. Since the best physicist available will be from the West only half the time, it follows that 50 percent of the time Duke will hire less than the best physicist available. Even if there are more good physicists in the West say 70 percent—hiring with diversity as the goal will cause Duke to miss the best 30 percent of the time. Hiring for diversity will eventually achieve the 50:50 goal, but at some inevitable cost in terms of quality. In short, hiring for diversity is necessarily in opposition to hiring for excellence.

diversity is an example of a more general principle: Even if ability is equally distributed, if you limit your search you will often fail to hire the best per-

son available.

At the risk ofbelaboring the obvious, an example may help.

Let’s first move away from the controversial topics of gender and race diversity-—the thrust of current efforts—and look at something more neutral: regional diversity. Let us assume that Duke is as rich as Croesus—or, at least,.

Harvard—and can attract any potential faculty member it wants. And, to be specific, consider just two regions, East and West of the Mississippi, and a single discipline, physics.

Now suppose it turns out that there .are equal numbers of-able physicists on both sides of the country but only 20 percent of current Duke physicists come from the West. We can deal with this disparity in two ways: (1) Ignore it, and just hire the best possible physicist, or (2) address the problem directly by hiring only the best physi-

Now consider strategy one: Because ability is assumed to be equally distributed across regions, hiring for excellence will eventually result in a 50:50 mix of Duke physicists.

Diversity will occur as an outcome, not as a goal, at no cost in terms of quality. This seems to many of us to be the proper course.

There is of course another way to resolve this dilemma and that is to redefine excellence. Some might argue that an excellent physicist is not just someone good at physics but someone whose other attributes—region, gender, race—satisfy some nonphysics criterion. “Excellence,” in this new definition, repre-

good. What we need is an explicit defense of the specific preference that is being advocated. What are the goals—-

social, political, cultural or whatever—to be served by restricting hiring to a particular group? How should these goals be weighed against excellence in the discipline? Let’s hear a real defense of the diversity policy, not just denials of the ineluctable conflict between diversity and disciplinary

excellence.

Diversity of types of students makes While Bill English’s most recent column was simply riveting, I feel that he forgot several important versions of “student.” There’s the student as future spouse, for example, And then there’s the student as lush—those kids who live for the weekend. Then, we can’t forget the student as prisoner. They’re here because mom and dad put enough pressure on them to make them come to a “good” school to “get ahead,” while all they want to do is live off the folks for a few more years.

Of course there are different versions of students and none of us completely embodies one version! We’re not supposed to. We shouldn’t be at that point yet—or even ever—where we’ve stopped trying new attitudes and behaviors and have finished evolving into something new.

To try to limit ourselves to one approach to school would be to close our minds and discount all the opportunities that going to a university allows us. If I stuck to a student as scholar approach, I’d never experience the fun that is Franklin Street on Halloween. If I adhered solely to a student as consumer attitude, I’d never take the time to go a little further on my own and try an independent study project. By incorporating all attitudes and ways of viewing “student,” we become true students of the world,

ities all through their lives; we change them as we see fit, according to our present situation and what we see as needing remedy. By having diverse activities, we become more, not less, aware of the public good, because we become in touch with more of the public. We aren’t “fragmented” or “compartmentalized,” as English argues: Our social circles overlap with all types of people. Having various interactions with different people—consumers, scholars, trainees and lushes—gives us a wider appreciation for what

As for English’s comments on our inability to engage in the political because of our “jumbling of priorities,” he overlooks that all people have mixed and matched priorities—not just students. Few people hold to the same prior-

Commentary

The Chronicle

The stren gth of a victim

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2002 �PAGE 15

Associating victimhood with weaknes s is society’s way of dealing with its cowardice I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.

E.M. Forster For those of you who read my column with any sort of regularity, my feelings on sexual are assault wellknown. I hate it. I hate BL it so much that just thinking about rape vSt-* mL, and other forms of sex-

ual violence literally makes me nauseated.

JNlck Given the passion Christie and voracity with Remov^tlle which Ive written G^ssy een about the issue here at Duke, you might be surprised to know that this wasn’t always the case. In fact, my physical disgust is a relatively recent phenomenon. For the majority of my life I frankly didn’t think much about sexu—

al assault.

As I revealed last spring in my column “The longest of weeks,” that all changed spring semester of my freshman year. I met a woman. I met her in passing at a local restaurant, a purely

random encounter for which I will for-

ever be grateful. She opened my eyes

to things that I had never seen before.

She taught me so much about pain, about courage and about fragility.

It was with her that I first became witness to the realities of sexual violence, that I saw its devastating impact upon a woman’s vitality.

My first love also taught me about emotional scars, principally that most people try desperately to hide them.

When I first looked into her eyes I saw so many things. I saw intelligence, playfulness, self-confidence and inten-

sity. What I didn’t see at first, however, was pain. Crippling pain, actually, the kind of pain so vicious that she relentlessly stuffed it down into the deepest depths of her soul, hoping she might manage some day to keep it locked up in a place where it wouldn’t hurt so much anymore.

She was pretty successful too.

Ninety-nine percent of people who knew her probably had no clue about

the scars she bore.

No matter how much she opened up to me, there were always things she held back. She particularly avoided talking about the details. She would tell me where and when and who, but she never told me how. She never described what it felt like. To this day, I have no clue as to what happened. I did, however, see the mental breakdowns, the panic that results from post-traumatic shock and its never-ending flashbacks.

I cannot ever shut out the things she and I talked about. Her words have left a permanent mark upon my character. Because of her, there is a fury inside of me that does not subside.

Last Monday, The Chronicle included a guest commentary entitled “Sexual assault reality,” a first-person narrative about the Oct. 9 attack in Wannamaker Dormitory. Needless to say, the piece affected me in some very

I had opened my window, maybe if I hadn’t been listening to music, I might have heard something.

You know, I would have given anything to have been able to stop that attack. One of the most sobering consequences of meeting my former girl-

friend three years ago is that I have felt so helpless ever since. I couldn’t protect her. I couldn’t protect her from the attacks that took place before I even met her and I especially couldn’t protect her from her own thoughts. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t take

away any of her pain.

For three years I have wished for an opportunity for redemption. And yet while someone became imprinted with a lifelong scar, I played online chess.

The Oct. 9 attack made me realize two things. First, no matter how desperately I want to change things, there’s surprisingly little I can do.

Despite all my rage—as the song goes—l really am just a rat in a cage.

That brings me to my second point.

There are lots of other men like me in the world, men similarly affected by sexual violence. Clearly, however, there are not enough of us.

Most men, of course, are cowards.

They are scared little boys afraid and embarrassed at the notion that sexual assault happens everywhere around interesting ways. them. They must be. How else to we For starters, it reminded me of how reconcile the fact that only 5 percent of I felt Oct. 10, what a slap in the face it date rapes are reported? How else do was to hear about the attack.

I was up until fortable with the notion of sexual vioafter sunrise. I heard nothing. Maybe if lence that they are willing to bury

their heads in sand for comfort. Fm guessing it’s the latter.

I’d like to end by referring to my opening quotation, which I’m including to make one final, difficult observation.

When I read last Monday’s piece I was touched but also disappointed, disappointed because it had been written anonymously.

I know that I am in the sharp minority of people who do not judge victims of sexual violence. I can write until my hands cramp up that one of the strongest people I’ve ever met was a victim of rape, but it’s not going to change how much people gossip and how fear and insecurity will make them label you as responsible for your suffering.

I can say without a doubt how committed I am to stopping sexual violence only because of the physical nausea I feel every time I write a column like this. I have that feeling because someone offered me a glimpse into their most painful memories. Before my eyes were opened, though, I used to be ashamed and embarrassed about sexual assault just like everyone else.

There is a conflict to be fought, a fight that only victims of sexual violence can wage, namely society’s dismissal of its victims as somehow responsible for the attacks made upon them. I wish I could wage that fight for you, but I can’t.

People are going to hurt you for being brave, they are going to make you feel miserable and vulnerable and worthless. I’m so sorry for that, but we are going to need you to be brave all the same.

he became less conscious of the megaphone. Current Duke Stuedent Government president Joshua JeanBaptiste was also present, smiling and looking everyone in the eye while vehemently denying rumors that DSG has accomplished anything this year.

Another corner featured Larry Moneta and Bill Burig, pointing fingers at everyone but themselves.

I overheard Billy congratulating the vice president for student affairs on the Subway fiasco: “Yeah, I just love getting the student body all excited about something and then, boom, you drop the hammer and you can watch their little hearts just fall apart.” In the middle of the room, the birthday girl was performing a keg stand. A spectating Matt Christensen flexed and screamed with each passing second, which was pretty annoying. Nobody said anything though, because he’s been around so long, he is up for tenure next week.

The Monster (English for El Monsterrio) was not the only annoying party guest, however. Also bothering the other guests was parking director Catherine Reeve. She must have been drunk, because she kept towing the other guests because they had not purchased permits. Todd Adams (sporting fluorescent green) was also making his rounds, holding beers hostage until proper ID was displayed. Coach Gail Goestenkors was stomping around, loudly proclaiming to anyone who would listen that she did not, in fact, have “dumps like a truck” and that Krzyzewski had made that up. Although she kept mispronouncing Krzyzewski, I believe she was sober.

As we left the party, we heard housing head Fidelia Thomason crying to herself because the card swiper on the door kept red-lighting her Duke Card.

Ahh, poetic justice.
